Total Drama: Across the Multiverse Chapter 77: TOTAL KOMBAT II, a X-overs + Total Drama series Crossover fanfic

A/N: Well, if you want to see someone beat the ever loving snot out of someone you hate/don't care for in this season, you might be seeing it here, because this is gonna be non-stop fighting lol. A chapter dedicated to one of my favorite game genres of all time is going to be a joy to write. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I'd be writing something like this, but here we are. Enjoy!

Remember, this chapter has gotten a rework compared to the original concept that I wanted to do. This would have been reflective on the episode list, if FFN would allow me to edit the docs.

Which brings me to the next thing, Cloudflare is not being cooperative at all. So until it stops blocking me from editing docs, I won't be able to add the horizontal lines on FFN I usually do to make the story look neater, especially for commercial breaks, reviews and endnotes. Truly sorry about that one, but it's out of my hands unfortunately. Hopefully, whenever that gets fixed they stop the bot problem too(Pure hopium on this one though lol. They're on AO3 too. Maybe not as frequent, but they have been there. It's just I've been able to delete their comments unlike on Fanfic dot net).

EDIT: Looks like they fixed it.

Reviews:

G-Man 2.0: You hit the nail on the head. Bakura is literally the only reason why Randy probably isn't gone right now.

HusniDrift(Wattpad): Yeah, I can see your comments just fine. And I appreciate it and the upvotes!

SlicedGlass(AO3): I see you're inspired by my season. I appreciate it bro! Looking forward to reading it... when I'm not busy doing other stuff that is.

"Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse! The teams would get the opportunity to shoot at each other once more, but this time, it would take place on an island! Not Wawanakwa, not Pahkitew, and no, not this one. The island from the hit Battle Royale video game, Fortnite!"

Footage of Chris explaining that they would entering VR once again for a Fortnite challenge was shown.

"Yes, I actually decided to do a challenge like that. We did everything else under the sun, so, why not add a popular, widely known game such as that to the fold?"

Footage of the twelve participants Diana, Lanolin, Monta, Lucy, Todd, Huey, Ben, Penny, Kunigami, Randy, Bakura and Kaz on the party bus preparing to land on the island was shown.

"The rules were simple: Four from each team would participate. And all you'd need to do is survive to get first place. The first team to have all of its members to get eliminated would get last. Everything else was conformed to what was seen in the game. Well, at least the first few seasons."

Different clips of the challenge was shown until Bakura was the last one standing.

"At the end of it, out of all the chaos that occurred when the teams met up, and even inside the storm, Bakura was the one to come out on top and win the game for his team, again. But this time, he did it by doing absolutely nothing at the end. Other than staying out of harm's way. Some will call him a coward. Others will call him strategic. I call him a winner. But, even with that, not everything was glitter and gold. At the end, Randy and Kunigami had got into an argument about who costed them the game."

Footage of said argument was shown.

"Heck, it got so heated, I forgot to tell them what their prize was. Don't worry, they still got it. It was just during one of the two days they were off. Which was a fabulous chicken dinner! Yep! Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Real chicken! And they absolutely loved it. And in the case of Bakura, really loved it. Who woulda thought a nice, soft-spoken guy like him would tear into food like that?"

"As for the elimination, it would be the Kings that would have to send someone home next. Well, someone's in this case. Five of them. The entirety of Team RWBY and Penny got the boot next! Well Aomine, you're gonna have to get your… desires fulfilled on your own time, 'cause it ain't happenin' here! Same thing with Ben and Yang legit kissing and getting together apparently. I honestly thought they'd do it, since they didn't last season but, guess I was wrong. But, I'm sure that makes Todd happy though."

Footage of the elimination, along with a confessional of Aomine was shown with him almost saying something before stopping himself.

"But, what is guaranteed to happen, is us bringing you next exciting episode of Total….Drama…. Across the Multiverse!"

"Got it!" Murasakibara called out, getting the volleyball out of the tree before going to hand it to Toxsa.

"Thanks."

"Yep."

"Still surprising you decide to actually come out and play with us." Ayame said to him once he returned.

"Yeah, just wanted to make sure-" He started before she went up to his face, startling him, and causing him to immediately back pedal. "What the heck are you doing!?"

"Just making sure you didn't get hit on the head."

"Or cloned. That's a possibility too." Reagan said.

"What? Look, no one's cloned, jeez. Keep this up and I might never do this again." Toxsa said.

"Not like you've done it much in the first place." Zak said.

"Yeah, that's what I was pretty much implying. And you see why. Too much sun gets to your head. Then you sweat, and lose all that water and it makes you do crazy stuff. Except Reagan. Her saying that's kinda expected at this point."

"You see that as a diss, I don't. And also, you call me saying you're cloned crazy, what the heck was that reasoning? So because you're outside in the sun, it makes you go crazy?"

"It's called mirages. Look em up."

"No one's talking about a desert though. This is just normal, going outside, talking, being active, stuff like that."

"I'm seeing a lot of talking and not a lot of serving. Come on, let's go!" Doyle, the referee called out.

"News flash, you're not even needed for this!"

"They say you don't appreciate things until they're gone. I give it 30 minutes tops and someone will be arguing over a call without me."

"That happens anyway it's a game. The refs are just the ones that take the brunt of the damage when people are mad about a call. Where do you think the whole 'pro sports is scripted or rigged' talk comes from? I don't even play attention to sports like that, and I know that there were a heck of a lot of scandals. And what do most of them involve? Money."

"Okay, can we get back to the game please?" Becky asked.

"You mean the thing I was just advocaring for? Yeah." Doyle said before the ball was given to Axl to serve.

"And first of all, you've got no business calling me out when we literally had a whole conversation about gambling." Reagan said to her.

"Yeah, but that was then. I'm sure no one wants to hear that in the middle of a volleyball game." Becky replied.

"And, that's different from stacking cards because….?" She was suddenly hit in the face with the volleyball before it fell to the ground. The whistle was blown.

"4-2!" Doyle called out before whistling again. "Bonus point for face smack! 5-2!"

"Yeah, real funny." She said sarcastically, getting up and rubbing her face.

"4-2! Back team serves!"

"Wanna try focusing less on conspiracies and more on hitting the ball next time?" Becky said to her, on the other side.

"Wanna try getting out of the way when I smack you with a spike to the face?" Reagan shot back.

"I'd like to see you try. This is a team sport."

The next serve was all that was needed for the back team to score a point, changing the score to 4-3.

"Wow. There was definitely some extra juice in that serve from her." Ayame said, referring to Diana who hit Monta in the face.

"Good serve." Kageyama said to Diana.

"Thanks." She simply replied, still looking forward.

"Why do I get the feeling that she's still mad from what happened a few days ago?" Scott said, on the side, watching along with a couple of others. Those that were watching were enough players to form two different teams.

"A few days ago? What happened?" Maki idly asked.

"Actually, we never found that out. Should probably ask after the game."

Once the game ended, in favor of the front team winning, the teams switched.

"Hey Monta, when we were recording that video, what happened that got Diana so….. mad? Well, at least her version of mad."

"Huh? Oh that. I think it had something to do with me landing in the middle of her while she was playing something. When I looked up at the screen, apparently she was just starting to play? She was on the title screen and the controller was….. unplugged…. Oh…." Monta answered, slowly coming to a realization.

"Wait, Diana plays games?"

"Does she? Huh. I woulda never guessed. You think you know a person…" Maki commented, listening to the two.

A whistle was blown.

"0-1!" Doyle called out, in favor of the back team.

"That was a nice hit. Sebastian, you don't happen to practice volleyball in your free time do you?" Julie asked him.

"No. My duties leave me with no time for recreational activities such as these."

"You sure you're not secretly some volleyball superstar and no one's heard about it?"

"I am completely sure."

"Alright, let's calm down. It's his first point. Let's not act like he's scored all six for you." Yulaw said on the other side of the net.

"Well, there always is that possibility." Sebastian said, half-jokingly.

"Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it."

As this game continued, Akashi was in the house and had just knocked on the side of the door for Aomine's room.

"It's open!" Aomine called out. Though he wasn't getting up from the chair he was sitting in.

Akashi stepped in and saw his current Total Drama and formerly basketball teammate at a desk with a book in front of him on a desk. He also had several pieces of paper with several words written on the one up top in pencil, compared to the words written in pen in the book. Multiple pencils, pens and a handheld pencil sharpener could also be seen along with his phone as he had earbuds plugged in to them, listening to music. When he saw it was Akashi, Aomine took off his earbuds and paused the music.

"What's up?" He said to Akashi.

"I was just checking to see if you were alright." Akashi replied before looking at the book and the papers.

"Yeah I'm good. Just keepin' myself busy. If you're worried about Weiss leaving, I'm good. It sucks but, only thing I can do is keep playing and move on. Gotta remember that I came here initially to win this for myself."

"Glad to hear you're doing alright. If I may ask, what are you writing about?"

"It's an autobiography."

"An autobiography?"

"Yeah. Surprising huh?"

"Honestly, very. I see Weiss has made quite the influence on you."

"Actually this wasn't her. I've been doing this long before I got here. I kinda slowed down on that when I was…. yeah. But, since then I've been getting back to work on it."

"Really now? Interesting how I have never heard about this until now."

"I kinda didn't feel the need to really tell anyone about it. Well, anyone except Satsukii."

"So she's the only one that's aware of it?"

"Nah. That's not what I meant. I mean like not telling her. At least not right now. For the most part, anyone else, if they ask about it, I'll tell 'em what it is. No offense to her, but I'd rather her not make a big commotion about it. You know how she is."

"Not wanting to deal with the hassle of multiple people asking you about it. That can be quite a distraction. Especially if you're in the process of thinking about what to write next. Or writing. I understand. Although, I suppose I would be doing the same thing right now."

"Don't worry about it man. You're good. There's a difference between you asking and some random guy I don't know or only talked to like once and that was to ask him for something."

"Good to know." He then notices the music playing from his phone, which currently showed lo-fi music playing. "It appears I've made two surprising revelations about you today. I never knew you to like to listen to that type of music."

"Yeah, Weiss put me on to it. That's the one thing she's actually influenced me with. Honestly though, it's not that bad. Not anything I'd listen to while practicing ball, but something like this? Yeah. No joke, I think this is the most productive I've been while listening to it."

"I'm curious, does that apply the other way around?"

"Music? No way. I legitimately think there's a better chance she'd like metal, you know, the only type of music that Yulaw seems to really like than this. She tried listening to the first song, first minute she gave up. I had to convince her to try another one and she didn't like that one either."

"Everyone has their tastes and preferences after all, and are welcome to express them. As long as you're respectful of course."

"Yep. Can't even get mad at her. It's not like she trashed on it. She just said she couldn't listen to it. It sucks but, like I said, can't even get mad at her. But, at least she tried it. I guess you could count jazz but, I don't know if I really count that. Especially when she encouraged me to lean in to listening to it. 'Broaden your horizons' as she said."

"I never knew you liked jazz."

"A little. There was only like a few songs I legit listened to. That's why I don't really count it."

"I see. Well, I'll leave you to it." Akashi said before preparing to walk out.

"Alright. Thanks again."

Akashi stopped and raised an eyebrow after turning around. "For what?"

"For checking on me. Appreciate it."

"You're welcome. I wanted to give you some space for a bit. That's why I didn't want to ask about it until now."

"Like I said before, thanks. I mean it."

Akashi's eyes widened and he turned back around. When he did, he saw someone walking past. That someone being Mayuzumi.

"You alright? You look like you just saw a ghost." Aomine asked him.

"No. That was only Mayuzumi."

"Close enough." He said before getting up and stretching. "Well, I think it's about time I stopped for a bit to get some grub." Before walking past Akashi, he gave him two friendly taps on the shoulder.

Wind blowing could be heard in Morty's room as Aomine walked past.

"Wow. You really got that in one go like it was nothing. This took me forever to figure out. I almost gave up and decided to just look up how to solve it on the internet." Morty said to Lotte, who was sitting next to him on the floor. Currently, they were playing Silent Hill. Or in the former's case, watching the latter play.

"In most cases, I would call that cheating, but I think I can understand. Especially if you really are stuck. At some point you have to move on to get to the rest of the story." Lotte said, a PS2 controller in hand.

"Yeah, exactly. It's not like I do it every time one comes up. At that point, there's no point in playi-" Before he could finish, she shushed him as dialogue had started. "Oh. My bad." He said low before she shushed him again.

"Good afternoon guys! If I may have your utmost, undying attention please! Ah who am I kidding? You got no choice but to listen! Report to the front of the house! Your next challenge is today! And oh man, I think you're gonna really like this one! I know I will!" Chris called out on the intercoms installed onto the outside corners of the house.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word of this." Was heard coming from a man named Harry talking to a woman.

"Wonder how many times he's said that about challenges?" Morty commented.

"Just great. Now I missed the context!" Lotte said, visibly frustrated, not even bothering to want to listen to the rest and reached to the back of the PS2 to turn the switch off.

"Hey wait!" The man called out to the woman before Lotte turned it off.

"Hey uh, Lotte…. You turned it off before you saved."

She gasped as she realized her mistake and put her hands on her head. "Oh no! I completely forgot!" She slumped over a bit, frustrated and saddened that she forgot. And if she had to be honest, a little bit upset with herself. If she wouldn't have gotten mad and acted on impulse, she would have remembered to save. "Now I've got to do that all over again!" She said, hands shaking as she still held the controller in her hand before putting the controller down.

"Aw jeez. I'm sorry."

Lotte sighed. "There's nothing you did wrong. I was the one playing after all. Well, I guess we better go see what this challenge is."

*Confessional*

Morty(Radical Rats):

"Man. I hope that doesn't get to her, as frustrating as I'm sure that is. And she was really enjoying it too. That's why I think she was so frustrated about what happened."

*End Confessional*

Once everyone was at the front of the house, Chris began to explain the challenge. With him were multiple comfy-looking chairs that had a rotating base, a TV put on an entertainment center, and several gaming Consoles. Even a computer was there. Along with a slot machine and eight plates.

"All right. Got a question for you. Any one of you can answer it. Is there someone you really don't like here? And I mean really don't like?" Chris asked. "You don't have to say their name, and I don't care the reason. It could be justified. It could be petty. Or it could be just plain stupid. I don't care. I just care if you despise someone or not. Just a yes or no will do."

"Yes" was heard from several people.

"Good! Good! Then that'll make this even better for you! Because you may get the chance to legitimately beat the crap out of 'em. And I mean, really get to wail on them. Because this challenge is going to be all fighting!" Chris began to explain.

"Think of this as the Mortal Kombat challenge from last season, but even better than that! Because this time, you won't just be using props. You'll also get the chance to really feel the experience of an MK game. And for that matter, several other fighting games! What type of fighting games are we talking about? Well, we've obviously got the well-known juggernauts, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, the King of Fighters games, Super Smash Bros, Tekken, Marvel VS Capcom, etcetera. But, we've got some lesser talked about games too. Tell me Maki, did you know, that you're actually in your own fighting game?"

"Actually, no." Maki answered, a little surprised to learn that she of all people has a fighting game.

"Yeah. Well, it's not exclusively based off you though. Just look." Chris said before Heloise handed him the game. It was the PS5 version of Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash.

"Huh. Well would you look at that. Who woulda thought." Maki said, trying to hide the fact that she was impressed that someone would make a fighting game based off her and the others she knows.

"Unfortunately for you though, this game isn't good. At least that's what Heloise told me." Chris said, and Maki was no longer impressed.

"Honestly, after playing it more, I kinda have a change of heart about it. It's not bad. But, it's meh. Not bad, but not good either. But it's not worth the price they're asking for. Anyone that likes these types of games deserves better and there's better out there." Heloise said before the camera completely focused on her for a second. "Stop accepting overpriced mediocre slop guys. Yeah, I'm talking to you, that's watching. Why would they stop feeding you if you keep your mouth open? Close it so they can give you something else. There's other ways you can play this if you're really that curious and you want to try it yourself. Several ways for whichever version you wanna try. You know what I'm talking about." She said, pulling out an eyepatch. "And if you don't want to do that, at least get it on a sale. But preferably, don't give them anything at all. There's always used. Or borrowing it from a friend or something." The camera then zooms out. "Anyways, my solo screentime's over. That's all I wanted to say. Please continue Chris."

"Thanks. Also, I'd like to make a disclaimer that we do not promote, condone or condemn any lessons or actions here. Outside of the obvious ones. Everyone's here for the drama, that's it! Anyways, how about you Lucy? Did you know, that you and Natsu are also in a fighting game?"

"Not until today. Is it at least good?" Lucy asked.

"Well, they're fun." Heloise answered.

There were several seconds of silence.

"That's it? Nothing else?"

"Look, I said they're fun. That's a lot more I can say compared to some of the others I had to sit through. But, if it means anything to you, I had to make a translator device just because of these games. Why? They're Japanese only. Oh, and Happy's playable."

"Which brings me to another point I'm gonna bring up. In just a second. How about Transformers? Ever expected them to have a fighting game?" Chris asked.

"Let me guess, they have one." Ben said.

"Yep!"

"Trust me, this game isn't a hidden gem. At least this one. Er, these two. Sorry. Which is pretty disappointing. I know next to nothing about Transformers but even I think this concept could have actually worked believe it or not." Heloise said, holding up the PS1 version of Transformers Beast Wars: Transmetals, along with the N64 version. "At least it's kinda fun?"

"Yeah, I think you get it. You'll be fighting each other in all of these different games? How will this be decided? By testing your luck! If you recall in Multiverse Edition, there was a fight with Luz and Vert that used Test Your Luck from Mortal Kombat. That's gonna be brought back. For every game. What games will be used will be decided this way, along who plays and who gets what benefit. I'll leave you guys to find out what these are yourselves when you play. But I will tell you that in some cases, some old friends will also be around to help during some of the battles. Whether it be previous allies, eliminated teammates, family members, friends and more."

"So, let's say my dad got chosen. He'd have to help out in this?" Morty asked.

"If he's not busy, yes."

"Yeah, you better hope he doesn't have to come here. Because he's gonna do everything but help." Rick said.

"You never know. You'll just have to roll the dice to see. And finally, the win conditions. All you have to do to win today, is win 10 times. The Mortal Kombat Tournament rules required ten wins in a row for a realm for them to be officially declared the victor. You don't have to do that. Just win 10 times and you're good. However, the winner of these matches does get to play the next one. Sometimes only two teams will play. Sometimes all three will. It all depends. Also, like we did before, the individual winner of the most matches for the winning team is declared the Mortal Kombat champion. In MK terms, that grants immortality. Here, you get automatic immunity the next time your team is up for elimination. And one more reward that I think you're really gonna like. And it's not just any other reward. I won't reveal it until the end, but this reward, whoever wins it, could potentially change the entire landscape of how the rest of this part of the season ends." Chris said, which caused several eyebrows to raise and/or eyes to widen.

"Which brings me to my next point. You might want to win. There is no second place. You get second, you gotta send someone home too. This is a double elimination today. And that's it! Have fun and don't hold back! Let all of your feelings towards somebody out in this challenge! Not only is it allowed, I encourage it! Unfortunately though, any of brutal MK fatalities that you might perform on one another can't be shown on screen. At least for the audience. All of you guys competing can see it. Everyone else that's watching at home can't. Sorry. That's for legal reasons. If I showed that, don't expect me to have a job. Now, since they won last challenge, the Breakers are guaranteed a first shot at this! Now, let's start that slot machine and test their luck! Bakura, as the winner, if you'll do the honors."

"Sure!" Bakura pulled the lever. Only the first slot moved.

After several seconds of anticipation, the first slot stopped on Capcom VS SNK 2.

Once that was decided, four of the other 11 slots began to move. The game was also heard loading to the title screen on the TV.

The second slot stopped on a portrait of Asta, the third stopped on Noelle, and the fourth stopped on Urien.

The fifth stopped on the Kings, which caused some of the next few slots to move. These three slots landed on Rook, Din and Akashi.

"If you six will please step on the plates." Chris instructed.

"So how is this going to work? Are we going to just be fighting together all at once?" Asta asked.

"I can answer that. This is gonna be tag-based. 3-on-3. Here, you won't be able to tag with each other. You'll sub out only when you're knocked out." Heloise answered as the character select screen was now seen on the TV screen. "Oh and for some of you, you might look or feel a little different than you're used to feeling. This is completely normal, but I'm just giving you a heads up."

"A little is usually a lot here." Noelle said.

"Trust me, it's not that bad. Heck, there's also the chance that nothing happens either."

"We'll see about that."

And this was exactly the case. In fact, instead of selecting any of the playable characters from the roster, all question marks were seen on all player select spots as the stage was also being selected.

"Next location is….. London!"

All Players As: Themselves(This means every character, outside of Urien, will have their own unique moveset based off their own abilities, weapons and skills)

A/N: When in each of these different games, particularly if the characters are themselves and they're not already playable in whatever game it is or one very related to it, I picture them being in the same art style as the game's actual characters. In Urien's case, he's using his SF3: Third Strike Appearance and moveset.

Capcom VS SNK 2 Soundtrack: This is True Love We're Makin'(London Stage) Plays

All six were transported to said location. They were in the middle of a street in London, in front of a café. Notably, several characters from Capcom and SNK are seen in the background, including Karman Cole, Billy Kane, Lilly, Dudley, Elena, Rose and Rouge. Though none of them seemed to have been paying attention to the six suddenly appearing figures at all.

"Test your Luck!"

A floating slot machine appeared in front of them, this time having two slots. Before they spun, Grooves were seen along with descriptions of each chosen for the teams.

Breakers' Groove: P Groove(All characters can Parry, Dash, and use Level 3 Supers)

Kings' Groove: N Groove(Characters can Run, Roll, use Level 1 and 3 Supers and a Damage Boost, and can Counter Attack on Block)

The slots then began to move.

Slot 1: Tien Assist(Available to Breakers): Call in Tien for a Tri-Beam Assist!

Slot 2: Sean's Basketballs(Street Fighter) (Available to Kings): Sean's Basketballs will randomly appear on the screen and bounce around, slightly damaging any opponent it hits. They can be picked up and thrown as well.

Tien looked around, confused before seeing the six, recognizing some of them instantly. "Not gonna lie, if it wasn't for the fact that I knew who you were prior, at least one of you would have been put on a stretcher." Tien said. "But, no time for what-ifs, I'm here to help and that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Let's go!"

Urien and Noelle along with Din and Akashi retreated off screen with Tien also jumping off the screen on the same side as Urien and Noelle. Asta pulled out one of his swords along with opening his grimoire and Rook checked to make sure his Proto-Tool was functioning properly before he put it away and got into a fighting stance.

"You can feel the calm before the storm before the round begins! Fight!"

Both advance towards each other, with Asta dashing and Rook running before timing a roll to get behind him and hitting him with a punch and then a kick, staggering him forward, but not hard enough to knock him down.

"And the fighter starts this game off with a nice counterattack!"

"Alright, why is he talking like that? That's starting to annoy me." Todd asked.

"Because English is not his native language." Sophie answered.

"Yeah, that's not a good enough reason. You can have something not be your native language and not sound like that."

"You…. are aware that different countries and languages mean that people will have different accents, dialect and pronunciation right?"

"Well, it's still annoying."

"Dude, it's a game. As long as you can understand what he's saying, it really shouldn't matter that much." Toxsa said.

Focusing back on the fight, Asta had just parried a basketball throw and Proto-Tool shots, filling the light blue P-Groove meter, as the spectators could see at the bottom left part of the screen to the max. Conversely for the Kings, their yellow N-Groove meter, shown on the bottom right for spectators, was only at Level 2.

Running at him, basketball in hand, Rook threw the ball at him but Asta, instead of trying to parry it, jumped over the ball and called out Tien for an assist before performing a level 3 super in the air, diving down to the ground before hitting him with multiple quick slices and then throwing him at the wall, causing him to bounce off it and allowing him to follow up the attack with an anti-air uppercut with his sword.

"Oh man, who woulda seen that one coming?" The CVS2 announcer commentated.

"Sorry, but you won't be able to condition me like last time." Asta thought as Rook got back up.

But this time, instead of just running in, he instead grapples diagonally upwards, zipping across to the opposite part of the stage as another basketball appeared. Not willing to give him space to form a plan to attack, Asta dashes at him to close the gap. What he didn't expect was for Rook to use the grapple again mid-air while he was dashing, this time downwards diagonally and at Asta, pulling him over hard enough to make him fall. It wasn't that much damage, but it was still a knockdown, which allowed for Rook to be able to be able to keep up his offense on Asta along with finally making use of the N-Groove meter, using one of the two levels he had available to give himself a damage boost as Asta got up. A time bar right above the N-Groove meter was shown for how much time he had left for his damage boost.

Rook rolled behind Asta as he was low jabbing, which allowed him to grab him and throw him over his shoulder to the other side of him. Compared to before, Asta's wakeup was slightly delayed as signaled by the afterimages of him that showed when he woke up with him immediately performing an anti-air uppercut after.

"Tien!" He called out.

"Got it!" Tien ran onto the screen behind him before performing a quick Tri-Beam.

But Rook didn't fall for any of it and blocked the Tri-Beam and the anti-air and punished him for both.

"Take this!" Energy charged within Rook, indicating that he was using another N-Groove level for a level 1 super. He changed the Proto-Tool to the missile function and launched missiles at him, which seemingly ignited Asta's body for a short time after each one hit, knocking him down again. The missiles had hit Tien as well, also knocking him down. But unlike Asta, he didn't have to worry about getting knocked out of the match as he got up, gave a two-fingered salute and jumped off the screen.

Rook backdashed and used the same level 1 super again in an attempt to chip Asta out with block damage, but, amazingly, he was able to parry all of the missiles before instantly countering with a level 3 super from across the screen. A dash that was quick enough to reach him before Rook could recover.

The screen turned black and all could be heard was one singular slice. When the screen was shown again, massive damage was caused, leaving Rook with only a sliver of health remaining as he crumpled to the ground.

"Tien!"

"Alright! Tri-Beam!"

The Tri-Beam would have been enough to end it, if Rook didn't wake up with a roll to completely dodge the Tri-Beam. But the second he got out of the roll, Asta turned and threw him.

"K.O.!"

Rook was heard yelling in pain before he fell to the ground.

Asta breathed a sigh of relief before the next round was preparing to begin.

In seconds, he returned to the center of the stage, and on the other side of him was Din. As a reward for surviving to the next round, Asta's health was slightly replenished.

"Live and let die! Fight!"

It was clear from the get-go that Din's attack plan would be vastly different from Rook's, using his weapons to keep Asta at a distance and not allow him to put any type of offensive pressure on him. If he wanted to get close without going out due to block damage, he'd have to dodge or parry everything that Din threw at him.

And Asta, though he blocked the first few projectiles, seemed to have been more than up to the challenge, parrying the rest.

"He does realize that he's just giving Asta meter, right?" Louie commented as the successful parries would charge the P-Groove meter.

"I'd imagine so. At least, I hope he does." Sophie said.

"I mean, he's a zoner. So it's not like he's not sticking to his guns. No pun intended." Toxsa said as Din used his jetpack to get airborne and fire at Asta from the air.

"A what?"

"Zoner. If you noticed, compared to Rook, he's got a lot more options and tools to shoot at Asta from long range. And that's his strength. I mean, he can fight up close if he wanted to, but that's not his strength. Din knows this so that's why he's sticking to what he's good at. Asta's doing a good job parrying and building up his meter consistently though, so as long as he keeps doing that-"

"K.O.!"

Asta was heard yelling as he was falling to the ground after an explosion from a grenade, which was a punish from Din, seeing the attempted level 3 counterattack coming from a mile away.

"Don't look at me, I had nothing to do with it."

The only thing that Din did was check his weapons to make sure they were loaded before he was returned to the center a few seconds later, his next opponent being Noelle, who flipped one of her pigtails behind her head confidently before she opened her Grimoire, wand in hand before getting into a bit of a fighting stance.

"This battle is about to explode! Fight!"

"So, you like to play from long-distance. Try that against me!" Noelle said before using water-based magic attacks against him.

"With how Noelle's talking, it looks like she's a zoner too. Is that right?" Sophie asked Toxsa.

"Probably. With what I've seen from her so far, it makes the perfect sense."

"So, let's say I was to play in this. Would I classify as a zoner?"

"I dunno. Depends on who makes the game. I think you got the tools to be one though."

"So who wouldn't be considered zoners then?" Rally asked as Noelle had put up a water shield around her to temporarily protect her from projectiles.

"I'd say Jotaro definitely fits that category. Ryoma too. They definitely seem like more of the rush-down type."

"Interesting. I would have never thought games would have been that technical." Sophie said.

"Well duh. You can't make games without the code to make em. Coding aside, there's still games that make you think and have a lot of puzzle to solve."

Focusing back on the game, it was mostly a projectile war. Few punches and/or kicks were thrown. And many of those were thrown by Din. Both of them seemed to have been more than content with using their ranged tools to win and outplay the other.

Outside of the different ways that Noelle and Din's projectiles worked, the different grooves would prove to be an invaluable difference to both as well. Noelle was able to parry some of Din's projectiles to take less damage than she would have taken had she just blocked and allowed her to do more Level 3 Dragon's Roars. Tien's assists also helped out with the meter building as well. And Din was able to increase the damage of his projectiles with the damage boosts, while occasionally using Level 1s as well.

Lasers, grenades and water would continue to go across the screen for a while until Noelle would edge out a victory, with the water shield giving her the ability to completely stop damage force Din to have to try to advance in close to get past it, or destroy it with his projectiles being the biggest difference.

"Close or not, a win is a win and a loss is a loss! Next round baby!"

"Not bad. But, not good enough either." Noelle said to Din as she closed her grimoire before she was returned to the center seconds later.

Now, the Kings were down to their last team member, Akashi, who was now wearing a white suit over a blue dress shirt, black dress shoes and a black tie. He also was wearing white gloves. He pulled out a sword very similar to Puss'(but obviously larger).

"Now, let's begin." He said before getting into a fighting stance.

"Are you ready? Fight!"

Using the reach of his sword, he was able to land the first hit of the round, poking and hitting her in the shin, which as seen from the expression on her face, caused her a bit of pain along with the high hit he did after for a 2-hit combo. He continuously pressured her with mid-range sword lunges and pokes, not allowing her to use her long-range water magic, which was starting to annoy her. She tried to attack back with her own wand pokes, but at best, they only resulted in trades, staggering them both.

"Tien!" Noelle called out.

"I got ya. Take this!" Tien said before performing another tri-beam, something that didn't faze Akashi at all, literally. He completely side-stepped the attack, red afterimages being shown of him before he countered with the longest poke he had, which reached long enough to stop her from making any more space between them as she had already backdashed once while he was sidestepping the Tri-Beam.

Still, this was enough space for her to work with as she immediately jumped back to start sending projectiles at him. Projectiles that he would either block or side-step. And eventually, he would start to exclusively sidestep them.

"You can't keep that up forever. No one's timing is perfect." Noelle said as she was in a water shield, just in case he had any long distance projectiles he could counter with.

"We'll see about that." Akashi replied, calmly as he side-stepped another projectile. And this continued for about 15 more seconds without him even taking a step forward.

"Try and dodge this!" Noelle said before she used the full Super Meter for a Level 3. "Sea Dragon's Roar!"

The water dragon was headed towards him at a high speed. And he couldn't side-step it. He decided to just block it instead.

"What's wrong? You could side-step everything else." Noelle taunted.

"Hmm, I would have thought you'd be more concerned about the fact that one of your strongest attacks wasn't used effectively."

"I appreciate the concern, but I think you should be more concerned about yourself. And the fact that it doesn't seem like you have any answers to my attacks other than dodging."

He continued to not take a single step forward as she continued her barrage of projectiles.

"What the heck is he doing? At least try to move forward." Aomine said as he continued to side-step the projectiles perfectly.

"I understand it might not be easy for him to get up close, but I don't understand this either. And I'm rooting for Noelle." Myron commented.

"He hasn't even used any of his supers either and he's barely thrown out any attacks. He does realize these are fighting games, right?" Ben said.

"I'm pretty sure he does." Jotaro said.

"Doesn't look like it." Aomine said. "Jeez. I think I'm gonna have to-"

"Sometimes, the best offense is defense." Jotaro added.

"Huh? I don't-" Randy started before noticing something. "Ohhh. Oh no. Oh no no no no no!"

"What?" Kaz asked.

"Look at the clock!"

The clock had 20 seconds remaining.

"Okay. There's 20 seconds left. What's that supposed to-"

"Look at their health bars too!"

Kaz looked at both. Akashi's was higher compared to Noelle's who had low health. But interestingly enough, Akashi did nothing to try to finish her off.

"Noelle! The time! You gotta go!" Randy called out.

"Yeah, they can't hear you. So that's not gonna work." Heloise said.

The time ticked down to zero.

"And time is up!"

Akashi was declared the winner of the round.

"What? How!? He barely even threw out any attacks." Noelle protested.

"Because, I didn't have to." Akashi said. "Look above you and you'll see why."

After seeing the reason, she put her hands on her head, realizing the mistake she made.

"There is more than one way to win a fight." He said before putting his sword away.

Now, the last round was between Urien and Akashi.

"I will crush you fool!" Urien said, creating electricity from one of his fists before immediately making it disappear and getting into a fighting stance.

"This is for all the marbles people! Begin!"

"I can't believe we gave away that round because of a time over. And she didn't know about it." Fiona commented.

"Well, that's on her. I know this sounds blunt but she should have been more aware of everything that was going on. Akashi knew that she had taken a good bit of damage going against Din and he took advantage of that." Isagi said. "I know some people might not like the way he won but it's not like he cheated. It's just strategy."

"A strategy that could have easily been shut down if Noelle would have just paid attention. I bet he only did that because he knew he didn't have anything to really stop Noelle's attacks." Eijun said.

Focusing back on the battle, Urien had just parried an attack from Akashi. "Predictable!" He immediately grabbed him and performed a suplex on him, slamming him on his head.

He performed a quick Dangerous Headbutt on him while he was down, timing it to where Akashi was forced to have to block the attack, or gamble with a wakeup special attack. But he did neither and instead, used a Level 3 Super, completely dodging the attack before the screen turned red, leaving only the shadows of their bodies to be seen. He countered Urien with quick, precise strikes with his sword before finishing with one final strike down the middle before he put the sword away. When he did, Urien fell to the ground.

Though the Level 3, while it did great damage, wasn't enough to take him out.

"Don't think you've won anything yet!" Urien declared as he got up before shooting an electric sphere at him, something that Akashi blocked instead of side-stepping. Urien's Super Meter was also charged. He slowly advanced forward, testing Urien with decent reaching pokes again, all of which kept him out of reach, forcing him to block and do something that he almost never does, retreat, in this case, via backdashing.

He shot another projectile, which Akashi sidestepped. Urien then jumped in the air, with Akashi seeing the no-attack jump coming and countering with an anti-air. An anti-air that was perfectly parried by Urien. Akashi's eyes widened in genuine surprise.

"Aegis Reflector!" The second he hit the ground, he performed an Aegis Reflector Super. The Super Meter was now converted into a "Time" Meter and split into 3 different sections. The first section was already passed when Urien summoned the first reflector, and he pummeled Akashi relentlessly with a flurry of hits and constantly keeping him in the air, knocking him into the reflector over and over again before he created a second one and did the same thing again. Now only one section remained.

Urien laughed maniacally. "You overconfident fool! Now suffer!" He created a third, the placement being good enough to keep him in between both, being constantly shocked by the both of them over and over again as he simply stood and watched. The second one of them went away, he picked up Akashi by back of his head and shook him before squeezing it multiple times.

"K.O.!"

When Urien threw him to the ground, it was a miracle that Akashi even said anything.

"What!?" He yelled out, which was heard in an echo as he fell to the ground.

"Looks like we got a winner folks! That was one hell of a match!"

Urien only grinned, looking at the camera as he balled a fist with Tien also appearing as well, also in a victory pose, putting a hand in a fist.

"Man, I would say you might have overdid it but, it looks like he's okay. Looks like my job here is done." Tien said before everyone was returned back to the island seconds later, completely normal as if nothing happened.

Music Stops

"And Urien secures his team the win for round one! Although they were knocked out, Noelle and Asta also receive credit for the win as well since you're all a part of the team of three, counting towards the Mortal Kombat Champion award." Chris said.

"Tien, have you been watching the show?" Good Launch asked, slightly blushing.

"I haven't. I've been busy. But, I'm glad to see you're still in it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta be heading back home." He gave another two-fingered salute to her. "Good luck!"

While she appreciated the 'good luck' for him, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed in his answer.

"I'm sorry but parrying in the air? That's just not fair man." Aomine said, still in shock that something like that was even possible.

"Why didn't you guys do that?" Kaz asked Asta and Noelle.

"I didn't even know you could." Asta answered.

"Neither did I." Noelle added.

"I didn't expect an airborne parry. Well played." Akashi said to Urien.

Urien scoffed. "Accepting a compliment from a loser would be insulting to me. And accepting one from a weakling like you would more than expound that insult."

"Can't even accept a GGs huh? Talk about being a sore winner." Toxsa commented.

"And if you keep up your snide remarks, I'll make sure you're sore." Urien warned him.

"Uh, that wasn't snide. That was a compliment!" Toxsa quickly said before Urien went over to him and picked him up.

"You're lucky that you're potentially needed for this game." Urien said before he put him down.

"You actually know what GGs means?"

"No. But I don't need to to know that that remark was an insult, not a compliment."

*Confessional*

Toxsa(Wave Breakers):

"You know what? I honestly think it's a good thing that Urien isn't interested in playing video games. He seems like the type of guy that would throw controllers when he loses. And maybe break the console too. And then buy a replacement just to do it again eventually. I mean, raging is kinda understandable, but not the kinda rage he's got."

*End Confessional*

"Alright, as I said before, winner stays on! So, the Breakers get a chance to double it up and make this two in a row! Urien, you won so, if you'll do the honors and pull the lever?" Chris said.

He did just that, pulling it significantly harder than Bakura. The first slot stopped on Marvel VS Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

A few seconds after the next two roulettes started to move, the screen changed as the Sega Dreamcast startup was seen along with the Capcom logo a few seconds later. "CAPCOM Presents" was heard before the Marvel VS Capcom intro was seen.

The second wheel landed on Urien and the third landed on Tsukikage.

The fourth landed on the Kings' portrait again, before the fifth and sixth roulette wheels began to spin. The fifth landed on Din and the seventh landed on Maki before the screen changed to the character select menu.

Marvel VS Capcom 1- Character Select Theme Plays

"Select your Heroes!"

"Just to let you know, for this one, you can tag out with your partner. Just call out their name. And I mean shout it. Want a variable cross? Call that out too when you call them for a tag. Just make sure you have two bars before you do or it won't work. After that, you can use as many Supers and assists as you want until time runs out." Heloise began to explain.

"Hyper combos work the same way as supers did in CVS2. Don't worry, you'll already know what moves you can do if you're having to use abilities you're not familiar with." Heloise explained. "You also can push back opponents while blocking and tag out while blocking too, but that second one's gonna cost you a Hyper Combo bar. Which you'll have up to 3 of by the way.

The first three selections had question marks before Din, Tsukikage, and Urien were asked to step on a plate. Once they did, they were promptly teleported out, with them now appearing on the character select screen, Urien and Tsukikage on the left side next to each other and Din on the right. Each of their names were now styled from where they were from(A/N: Think of Din's name being in the font of the Madndalorian title font, Urien's being in the Street Fighter III font, etc. ).

"Okay, what about-"Maki started before she suddenly started to feel a gradual change. Until nothing came of it as Venom's name was selected as the last character.

"Venom!"

"Okay, that was….. odd."

"Just wait till you go in. You'll see." Aomine said.

"Guess I'm gonna have to take your word for it." She said before stepping on the fourth plate and going into the game. She was now beside Din. The special assist partners were now being randomly selected, independent of the roulette wheels.

Ton Pooh was selected for Urien and Tsukikage.

"Ton Pooh!"

Psylocke was selected for Din and Maki.

"Psylocke!"

A versus screen appeared, showing portraits of all four. Interestingly, Maki's was replaced with Venom's.

Stage: Avengers' Headquarters(Marvel)

Special Assist Partners:

Breakers: Ton Pooh(Strider Hiryu)

Kings: Psylocke(X-Men)

Unlike before, only Urien and Din were seen. Din's intro was the same as before in CVS2.

While Urien ripped off his suit before getting into a fighting stance.

"Get ready to die!" Urien declared before there was nothing but silence after that. With no music or sounds.

"Test Your Luck!"

Four slots appeared this time.

The first landed on a picture of a Hyper Combo meter with a yellow lightning bolt next to it, with arrows pointing to both the left and the right for both teams.

The second landed on a picture of Karin, pointing towards Urien's direction.

The third landed on a picture of Devil Jin, pointing towards Din's direction. Afterwards, Karin appeared.

And the fourth landed on a picture of Athena Asamiya, also pointing towards Din's direction.

Active Modifiers:

Recharge: Both teams' Hyper Combo Meters will continuously regenerate

Assist: Karin will replace Tsukikage and fight instead(Credit for victory will still go to Tsukikage)

Jin Special Assist: Devil Jin(Tekken) will replace Psylocke as a special assist, shooting a damaging laser across the ground that knocks down when not blocked.

Healing: Thanks to the Psycho Powers of Athena(Athena/SNK), the Kings' health will constantly slowly regenerate thanks to her healing abilities.(A/N: Athena's outfit and appearance is from King of Fighters 15)

"My name's Athena. I'm so excited to be here! Don't worry, I won't get in your way. But I'll make sure I do my best!" She said in Japanese. Though even with her speaking in Japanese, the subtitles were able to translate what she was saying to English.

"I mean, all she's doing is healing. Kinda hard to get in the way." Dwayne commented.

As promised, she stepped back, into the background of the stage, behind the two fighters.

"Ready? Fight!"

Marvel VS Capcom Soundtrack- Hidden Character Theme Plays

Urien had already made up his mind that he was going to be aggressive and not allow Din to get any type of space. But it didn't seem like it mattered to the bounty hunter, as he was also fighting against Urien up close.

The two exchanged punches and the occasional kicks(the latter moreso on Urien's end). Some connected, some traded, and some were blocked. Though Urien seemed to have the advantage in damage on these attacks.

Urien tried to grab Din, but he was able to escape out of it, performing a "Tech Hit" as the announcer said. The "Tech Hit" also made a bit of space between the two, but not enough for Din to use his projectiles safely. But it was enough for him to try a Hyper Combo.

"Fool! Aegis Reflector!" Urien declared, countering with his own Hyper Combo. Even though Din wasn't using a projectile Hyper Combo, it didn't matter as Din was denied when he tried to advance in.

Urien made sure that he made Din pay for his mistake, juggling him with all three aegis reflectors before actually being quick enough to follow him into the air and hit him with a couple of airborne hits before finishing him with a knockdown.

"Air Combo!"

Din decides to tag out with Maki, who was wearing the Symbiote. She jumped in, but the tag-in attack was blocked by Urien. She herself seemed to have been surprised by her different appearance, which gave Urien the opportunity to attack, performing yet another pop up to a knockdown for an air combo and immediately performing another Aegis Reflector when he landed back on the ground along with a second one, forcing Maki to block, which was exactly what he wanted as it allowed him to grab her.

Before he could slam her to the ground, the two Aegis Reflectors began to hit her, allowing him to follow up with one final reflector and then another air combo.

"Marvelous!"

"You won't even get a chance to experience your newfound abilities, whatever they may be!" Urien said before doing another Aegis Reflector.

"That's what you think!" Maki said, using one level of the Hyper Combo Gauge to tag in Din, even though she was blocking, catching Urien off guard and launching him in the air, his entire body spinning. Knowing this was the biggest opportunity they were going to have, Din used both of the remaining Hyper Combo Bars they had for the strongest offensive weapon available. The Variable Cross!

"Maki! Variable Cross!" Din called out.

"Let's do this!" Maki said, joining him on the screen.

One half of both of their faces appeared on the screen, Din's on the left and Venom's on the right.

Marvel VS Capcom Soundtrack- Variable Cross Theme Plays

The entire background changed, to the surprise of Athena, into a colorful background, constantly changing colors. The Kings' Hyper Combo meter also no longer showed a number. Instead, it had the infinity logo.

"Hmph." Urien scoffed, preparing to block whatever attacks they were about to throw at him. Both quickly advanced on Urien, and while he was able to escape the throw attempt that he saw coming from Din, he wasn't able to stop the attacks from Maki, who now had an idea of how her powers work after being surprised at wearing the Symbiote before.

And after that opening was made, neither Din or Maki looked back as they relentlessly used their Hyper Combos and Devil Jin assists.

Maki would spread her webs across the screen to encase Urien into them and allow for Din to get easy shots with his Whistling Bird Launcher, along with allowing herself to hit him with a barrage of punches and kicks along with quickly moving across the screen along the ground.

Urien wasn't even allowed to get off another attack. Or even fall to the ground until he was beaten as they kept him airborne for the duration of the entire barrage.

With the Variable Cross time being up, Maki retreated and jumped off screen, with Karin being forced to jump in after Urien's defeat.

"That idiot. Why didn't he tag out?" Karin thought. "Now I'll have to win this by myself. Difficult, but nothing I can't-"

Her thoughts were interrupted by Din, who knocked her into the air before performing an air combo himself.

"So no reset. Got it." Karin thought, expecting one like the last game.

Now she was focused. Seeing the last game, she knew that his strength was from long distance, so she tried to make sure he didn't have any space. Even with him starting to use projectiles and a Devil Jin assist, with him and Maki only having three of those remaining, Karin used Ton Pooh's assist attack, which was a long-reaching back-turning plasma jump kick, the range even surprising Din as he was hit by it along with Devil Jin before she jumped off the screen, with the demonic Jin laughing before flying off screen.

Afterwards, the number by her portrait changed from x9 to x8 for how many assist uses were remaining for her. Sure, the attack didn't do much damage, but the most important part was that it was able to throw Din off, allowing her to use one level of what was now exclusively her Hyper Combo Meter for the Kanzuki-Ryuu Kou'ou Ken, an enhanced, multi-hitting version of her Ressen Ha anti-air attack. She leapt and spun in an arc towards Din. She followed this up with an upwards kick after landing on the ground to keep him in the air a little longer, allowing for her to use two more bars for her second Hyper Combo, which was a Kanzuki-Ryuu Shinpikaibyaku, delivering a rush of Guren Ken palm strikes, branching into multiple Ressen Chou elbow strikes and finally ending with a strong Hou Shou palm strike, knocking Din into the wall.

"Fantastic!"

She continued to try to apply pressure on him, forcing him to block the attacks she threw out, even with him trying to do a push block to push her away. Using Ton Pooh again, she advanced on him while he was forced to block the attack, even after jumping.

"Jumping won't stop me from grabbing you!" She said before doing just that, and bringing him back to the ground.

"Danger!"

Din was in danger of getting knocked out, should he take a few more hits, even though this was slowly being remedied by Athena. Din tried to get up and immediately grab her, but Karin escaped from the throw.

"Tech Hit!"

The space however, was exactly what Din needed to use another Variable Cross with Maki. While she tried her best to hold her own, and was even able to get a couple of hits in, the power of 2(and Devil Jin), overpowered her, even when she tried to use Ton Pooh to try to get any sort of window to fight back or time to stall.

"Variable Cross Finish!"

"K.O.!"

"Din wins!"

Grogu, in his Pram appeared on the screen approaching Din, happy that he won, while Maki only folded her arms as her face was revealed under the symbiote.

Athena blinked a few times, still a little surprised at what she saw. "Oh. We won. Well…. you guys did."

"Stop it. You helped too. Without your healing, no matter how small or how big it might have been, there's a legitimate chance we might have lost again. So thanks." Maki said to her, also in Japanese.

Athena was more than delighted to hear this from her. "You're welcome! And, i-if you want to of course, could you come to my next concert? I'd love to have all of you there! If you show up, I won't disappoint! I promise!"

"Since you asked, I just might. If I'm free."

"Really? That's great!" She then handed her a card. "This is where I'll be performing next. I hope to see you there!"

A few seconds later, everyone was returned back to the island, Athena included.

"Wait, so if Athena's real, then what happened to Grogu?" Maki asked, as it looked as if Grogu never moved from the spot he was already in as he watched the challenge.

"That wasn't the real him. He was just a part of the victory animation. And before anyone asks, everyone that was never a contestant here is getting paid to show up. Except Devil Jin. He's not real either." Heloise answered.

"What? I was told I'd be getting compensated for this." Karin said.

"Yeah. If you would have won. But you didn't." Chris said.

"Well, I put much of the blame on Urien for not tagging out. This is 2-on-2 for a reason." Karin said.

"If I required you to fight, I would have summoned you. But I didn't." Urien said.

"Well, look how that turned out. Now we're tied at a game apiece."

Breakers: 1

Kings: 1

Rats: 0(DNP)

"And it might not be that way for long. If the Kings can win this next one. Pull the lever Din!" Chris said.

Once Din pulled the lever, the first slot started to move.

"Let's see…. what shenanigans will we get next? So far, the pummeling I expected to see has not disappointed."

The slot stopped, landing on Tekken 2.

The second slot stopped on Ben and the third slot after stopped on the Breakers again.

"This is the third game. We still haven't even gotten a chance to play yet!" Kagami said as the PS1 startup was heard.

"Tough luck. You've just been on the wrong side of it so far." Chris said.

"Tch."

The fourth slot landed on Kunigami's face as the Tekken 2 Intro was seen playing.

Eventually, the character select menu was seen.

Tekken 2 Character Select Theme-Are You Ready(PS1 Version) Plays

The first portrait on the left selected a portrait that had a red and blue boxing glove on it with the name "Alex" under it. The second selected a man with a blonde Mohawk named "Jack-2".

Both Ben and Kunigami were changed into said characters, with Ben now having the appearance of a genetically modified dinosaur wearing blue boxing gloves. Thanks to the DNA modifications, he stands upright.

Kunigami, who was Jack-2, wore a green exoskeleton covered in metallic studs and matching boots. Seconds later, they were in the game.

A versus screen showing nothing but Alex VS. Jack-2 in front of a still image of fire was seen.

"Test your luck!"

The two were in a parking lot at dusk. There were several buildings and factories overlooking the lot, with a body of water separating the lot and the buildings.

This time only two roulettes were seen.

"Is that a….. dinosaur?" Tsukishima said in disbelief.

"You're the dino boy. You should know better than anyone else." Sucy said.

"Please don't call me that again."

The first slot landed on the Capcom logo, which completely changed the look of Ben and Kunigami, from a 3d look to now a 2d look. Hyper Combo meters were also seen at the bottom on the left and right respectively, as well. The second landed on the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi logo, but this choice didn't affect anything, unlike the last one.

Modifiers:

1. Tekken X Capcom 2: The moves and looks of players will now be in the style of Marvel VS Capcom 2.

2. Tenkaichi Tekken: The final round(If necessary), will take place in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 1.

"Round one! Fight!"

"Well, at least-" Ben started to think as he advanced on Kunigami to go for a body blow only to get grabbed, with him performing a back breaker on Ben, with Ben yelling out in pain from the throw. "Okay, good thing I'm not gonna feel that in the morning."

But he definitely felt it in-game, as the throw erased half of his health.

Kunigami prepared to slam the ground while he was down, but Ben kicked him with his legs a couple of times before rolling backwards and standing back up.

"Come on! I'd like to see you try that again." Ben taunted, though all of it came out as dinosaur noises.

"Oh. Right. Dinosaur. Not alien." He thought after hearing himself.

Kunigami attempted to go low before throwing a straight punch, Ben was able to block both. He tried to counter with punches of his own, but those were also blocked. Kunigami saw the opportunity to grab Ben again, this time with another form of grab.

"Not gonna happen!" Ben said, pushing him off and escaping the throw attempt.

Dropping low as if he was sitting on the ground, Kunigami followed up this strange action by going for Ben's legs, which didn't work as out of nowhere, Ben did a dropkick, knocking Kunigami back a considerable distance and doing decent damage to top it off.

Angered, Kunigami ran at Ben before stopping to jump high in the air and do an overhead smash. Instead of dodging it, Ben blocked it, preparing to counter with a grab. But Kunigami beat him to it, picking him and using a hyper combo meter to perform a double suplex, which was enough to take him out as nothing but a dinosaur shriek was heard after the slam.

A replay was shown of what happened for him to snag the round.

"Those throws do so much damage…." Fiona commented.

Both Ben and Kunigami were placed back to the center of the stage.

"Round 2! Fight!"

Ben dropped to the ground and then immediately jumped up at Kunigami, who super jumped over the attempt to tackle him to the ground, disguised as a headbutt. But this ended up backfiring on him as Ben was able to roll back and recover before Kunigami landed.

The second he landed, with Kunigami's back turned, Ben grabbed him before he could turn around. "Up and over!"(Three dinosaur grunts) He did a simple shoulder throw, throwing him into the ground. This throw wasn't the amount of damage Kunigami's were, but it was still more than what you'd expect for a throw as simple as that one.

Ben stepped back a couple of times as Kunigami got up. The latter did a quick jab, which the former blocked and countered with a series of punches of his own, ending in a low punch that Kunigami was able to block and counter with a quick double punch to the head.

Both were blocking, playing safe and looking for an opening to counter.

Kunigami was about to perform a low split kick but was suddenly grabbed by Ben by his legs.

"What?" The former said in surprised before he was thrown up into the air, with a Hyper Combo bar being used be Ben to strengthen the throw. He then finished off the throw with a wind up gigaton punch, leaving Kunigami with only a small bit of health. One more hit would probably knock him out, and Ben knew this, which was why he tried to throw out a series of punches and kicks, which a mixture of highs and lows to try to get him as he got up.

Instead of rolling back or standing up to block, Kunigami instead rolled forward before performing multiple low punches, a couple of them connecting before he rolled back to stand up. Slowly stepping forward, Ben threw out a low kick as Kunigami backdashed again before throwing out his own Gigaton Punch, punishing the whiffed kick and knocking Ben back a bit.

Kunigami then ran at him while he was on the ground, with Ben fully expecting him to try a ground attack or a throw, so he rolled backwards. But Kunigami had the perfect counter to the roll, simply falling on top of him before performing a two-fisted hammer punch to his face that Ben failed to escape out of, the follow-up punch to the face being the knockout blow.

"K.O.!"

A replay was seen of the final hits that ended the match.

"He had it!" Isagi said, not happy that Ben couldn't close the deal and force a round 3.

Music Stops

"Well, I guess we won't be seeing that second thing then. Which sucks but hey, it is what it is. The third match has been decided!" Chris announced.

Breakers: 2

Kings: 1

Rats: 0(DNP)

A few seconds later, both were brought out of the game, returning back to their normal selves.

"Nice one!" Julie said, waiting for a high-five from him, which didn't come as he walked right past her.

"Why you would do that, I have no clue." Tsukishima said.

"Because it's being a good teammate, duh."

"Yeah, and past history should have told you he's never going to do that."

"Never say never."

"He's never going to do it. Want me to say it again?"

"Sorry guys. I overthought it. And he punished me for it. Both times." Ben said to his team.

"It's all good." Aomine said before hitting him on top of his head. "But if you really wanna apologize, you'll get it back the next time you play."

"Nah. You're being too hard on yourself. I personally think he just outplayed you. It happens. Heck, I think trying to mix him up while he was on the ground, betting on him not blocking was a good, aggressive move. Just didn't work out." Doyle said to Ben as the next game was being decided.

*Confessional*

Ben(Storm Kings):

"Well, at the very least, being a boxing dinosaur was fun. What? Just because I'm all those aliens doesn't mean I can't enjoy being anything else."

*End Confessional*

The next game, Art of Fighting 1, was already being shown on the TV screen, with its intro currently playing to explain the story of said game.

The next two participants were Furuya and Rally.

On the left side of the Versus Mode character select screen, Robert Garcia was selected while no portrait was seen on the right.

"Let's see….." Heloise said as she looks at a manual for the game. "Only thing you've really got to worry about here is your spirit meter guys. You wanna do specials, keep that charged. Just concentrate and get into a charging stance. Easiest way to explain it is that it's kind of like what you see when others charge energy. Taunting will decrease your opponent's a bit but it'll leave you open too. And if you're really in a pinch, you got one desperation move if you're almost beat. Provided you have enough energy to do it. But you'll be able to figure all of that out. And that's pretty much it. Good luck."

Both contestants, with Furuya changed into Robert, to his brief surprise, were promptly brought into the game after stepping onto the plate.

*Confessional*

Heloise:

"Is it me, or have you guys noticed it's been nothing but arcade games so far? Yes, Tekken 2 still counts. It was originally an arcade game after all. Not that I mind. I'm all for variety outside of the usual suspects. Just an observation."

*End Confessional*

Stage: Mac's Bar(Art of Fighting 1)

Once the two were brought into the stage, Furuya and Rally got the chance to really look at themselves. While the latter's appearance wasn't changed as she was still herself, the former taking on the appearance of Robert Garcia. He has black hair tied into a short ponytail, and a brown vest over a black long-sleeved shirt and white pants with a black belt along with white and black shoes.

"Test your luck!"

Only one roulette wheel was seen. And this time, it landed on the Mortal Kombat dragon.

1. Art of Kombat 1: The second round from onwards will take place in Mortal Kombat 1(Characters are unaffected)

Art of Fighting – Jack Turner Theme Plays

"Round one! Fight!"

"Ryuugeki Ken!" Furuya called out, sending out a surge of energy in front of him. Though Rally was able to jump over the fireball easily and hit him with a jump kick, knocking him down.

Once he got up, he threw out a kick that she blocked with her responding with a knee that only knocked him back a bit.

He retaliated with a Genei Kyaku, which were several rapid kicks. Once all of the kicks connected, she was knocked down. Afterwards, he began to recharge his spirit meter, changing it from yellow back to green.

Rally jumped in the air and dive kicked downwards at Furuya. While it was blocked, it did push him back a bit. Which didn't seem to affect Furuya one bit as he did another level 3 Genei Kyaku, which, to Rally's surprise while being kicked, connected again. Once she got up, she grabbed her head, feeling dizzy, indicating she was stunned. Something that Furuya took notice of and performed his Super Move.

"Haoh! Shou Kouken!"

The large fireball connected and did a considerable amount of damage as she was knocked down again.

"HAAAAAAA!" Rally got up and immediately charged at him. Admittedly, he was caught off guard by it and tried a straight punch to stop her, but proved to have been a mistake as the punch did nothing to her as she hit him with a few punches and kicks before throwing him to the ground and putting him in a submission hold. "Go to sleep!"

Thankfully for him, it didn't do enough damage for that to happen as she got off him a few seconds later, with Furuya getting back up.

Though the last thing she expected him to do was grab her. The yell from her after she was thrown to the ground was the signal that the round was over. That, and the fact that her health was depleted as seen from her healthbar above.

Furuya put his hands in his pockets and turned around. But he didn't have time to breathe the sigh of relief that he wanted to as everything suddenly changed around them to a tournament courtyard. Several monks were present along with an elderly man in robes watching from a throne above. That man being Shang Tsung.

Shang Tsung's Courtyard(Mortal Kombat 1 Classic)

Mortal Kombat 1 Arcade Soundtrack-The Courtyard

Both fighters, appearances unchaged, were now standing and in the center of the stage. Though notably the spirit meters were gone.

"Fight!"

The announcer had also notably changed. But neither of them were worried about that.

Furuya started with another Genei Kyaku. But this time she ducked the kicks, while also blocking low just to be safe. Once he was vulnerable, she hit him with an uppercut, sending him flying in the air and actually drawing blood from him as well.

"Excellent!"

Once he got up, he threw out a Ryuugeki Ken. Though she was able to jump over it and do another dive kick. Already recovered from the fireball throw, he performed a Ryuuga uppercut to stop it. But it missed as Rally had intentionally went a shorter distance. She countered the whiff with another uppercut which caused the announcer to laugh.

The second he got up, she threw him over her shoulder to the other side of her before jumping forward.

Getting up, Furuya went for a low shin kick, making her flinch a bit when it connected. She retaliated with a couple of rapid punches, which he blocked easily. But even with blocking, it still a bit of block damage along with pushing him back a bit.

Furuya performed a roundhouse, but she ducked it as she did a low sweeping kick, tripping him off his feet before she did it a second time. With it working a second time as well. Furuya blocked the next kick attempt from her, but "DANGER" appeared below his health bar along with a sound effect along with it to indicate this. And another announcer laugh for good measure. Furuya tried to catch her the same way she did to him, but it didn't work as she jumped forward over the attack with her ending the round with a kick to the back as he fell to the ground, knocked out from having no more health as the kick she did wasn't that strong.

The only thing she did for victory animation was a few kicks before preparing for the next round.

Both Furuya and Rally returned to the center.

Mortal Kombat-The Courtyard Plays Again

"Fight!"

Both Rally and Furuya jump at each other, with their attacks cancelling each other out as they fell back to the ground, with both getting back up at the same time. Furuya threw out another fireball but Rally blocked it. She performed a sliding low kick, which he blocked and retaliated with a low punch, causing her to reel from the hit a bit, forcing her to guard low after she recovered.

Furuya tried another Genei Kyaku. And while Rally was able to block it, because she was blocking high, she wouldn't be able to punish it with an uppercut. Instead, she punished it with a throw, kneeing him a few times in the chest before kicking him away.

"Man he sure loves that move." Hinata commented.

"Let's hope it doesn't cost him." Miyuki said.

Furuya performed another Haoh Shou Kouken. Because of how large the projectile was, Rally wasn't confident that she could jump over it. So instead, she blocked it. Furuya tried to charge up afterwards to regain the energy back that he used, but for some reason, he couldn't do it, which confused him.

When Rally tried an airborne kick towards him, he blocked and threw her before throwing out a fireball. Because of how he timed it, she was forced to block it as soon as she got up and take the block damage.

"HAAAAA! Haoh-"

Seeing what he was doing, Rally jumped in the air for a dive kick to stop it

"-Shou Kouken!" Furuya called out, throwing out another large fireball and stopping Rally before she could hit him, knocking her down. Her health was low, but not low enough for "DANGER" to pop up like the last round. He looked up and saw this and focused energy again for another large fireball.

"HAAAAA!"

"I don't know if she has enough to block that!" Tangle said.

"She's gonna have to!" Kagami said.

The fireball was already coming towards her. But right before it could connect, she ran at him again, doing the same combination of punches, kicks and the final hold on the ground that she did before. But like before, it wasn't enough to take him out of the game.

"Take this!" Rally said after backing up a bit before charging at him again. But, to her surprise, her attempt at another barrage that would have been more than enough to actually put him to sleep was stopped by his own, as he hit her with a multitude of punches and kicks that ended in a Ryuuga uppercut.

"Finish Her!"

Rally was able to stand, but she was dazed again. The only thing that Furuya did was another fireball, which knocked her down.

"No fatality? Boooooo!" Chris called out.

Music Ends

"Why do I feel like you did this challenge just so you could see us die in some gruesome way and legally get away with it?" Becky asked.

"Actually no. I did it because I thought it would be a fun way for you guys to let off some steam on each other and not have someone come in to break it up. The fatalities are a bonus."

No one had any words to respond.

"What? You guys act like I'm making you do them. Or looking at you funny like Shang Tsung when you say you're not gonna finish someone. Friendly reminder the audience can't see them regardless."

"Yeah but we still can." Ayame said.

"And some of you say this as if you even know how they look. For all you know, they could just be flattening someone like it's Tom and Jerry."

"Yeah, but that's not how they are so… your point?" Zak said.

"You know what? I'm probably going to regret asking but why not. It's probably gonna happen at some point anyway so I might as well get the shock out of my system now. Can anyone describe how they look?" Noelle asked.

"You sure?" Miyuki asked.

"Just hurry up and show it to me before I change my mind!"

"I got it. Knowing him, he's going to show something that's actually not what it actually is to try to mess with you Here." Tsukishima said before showing her a video on his phone of a Mortal Kombat fatality. This one in particular of Liu Kang turning into a dragon and biting most of Reptiles body off before returning back to normal from Mortal Kombat 2.

"Oh…."

"What? That's all you showed her?" Miyuki asked.

"What, you were gonna show her something worse?" Tsukishima asked.

"Something that would give her a better idea of what to expect actually. That's pretty tame compared to a lot of other ones."

"I…. don't think I'd like to see any more. Thank you for helping me set my expectations." Noelle said.

Furuya(Wave Breakers):

"That experience was…. interesting."

"So he figured out that there wasn't a limit to him doing those moves like before. Genius move on his part. Sure, it was close but, better late than never am I right?"

Furuya had already pulled the roulette wheel lever, with all of the choices being rapidly seen on the first slot. Several seconds later, the wheel stopped on Art of Fighting 2.

"Huh. Would you look at that! First the first game, and now its sequel!" Chris commented. "Let's see what it has in store."

The sequel Art of Fighting game's intro was currently being played on the TV screen.

On the second slot, Dwayne was chosen, and on the third and fourth, the Rats and their representative for this fight, Albedo was chosen.

"Looks like the Rats also get a second shot at it. Let's see if the second time's the charm and they can turn this around."

"I'm very confident that we will." Albedo said as the character select menu was shown.

"Yeah? What makes you say that?" Dwayne asked.

"If I told you that, it would make me easy to beat."

"We'll see about that."

*Confessional*

Dwayne(Wave Breakers):

"So he thinks he's got a strategy huh? Everybody's got a plan until they're punched in the mouth. And that's literally in this case. Or until that wheel spins. Let's see what happens."

*End Confessional*

A tutorial of how to play was being shown on the screen.

"Well, this should cover anything I would have had to tell you. Kudos to SNK for making my job easier." Heloise said.

On the character select screen, Ryo Sakazaki was chosen on the left while the portrait on the right was empty, meaning that Dwayne would be the only one to take on the appearance and moves of one of the playable characters in the game. Dwayne looked at himself before he was teleported out. He was wearing an orange gi over a black sleeveless shirt and had spiky blonde hair.

"Well if all I had to do was slap on a gi and put on a spiky blonde wig you could have just told me so." Dwayne joked before he and Albedo were teleported into the game.

Stage: Karate Gym(Art of Fighting 2)

"Test your Luck!"

Two slots were seen. The first landed on the Fatal Fury fighter Tizoc and had an arrow that pointed in Albedo's direction. The second landed on fellow Fatal Fury fighter Terry Bogard and pointed in Dwayne's direction.

Modifiers:

Tizoc's Fury!(To Albedo): Damage from all throws are doubled.

Terry Assist(Ground Waves)(To Dwayne): Terry's ground wave projectiles will randomly appear, travelling the same direction the affected fighter is facing(E.g. Facing Left;Ground Wave travels left)

"Well that's a new one. Why the heck are they standing so close to each other?" Toxsa commented. Right after he said this, both of them jumped back before the fight began.

"No aliens? In a game like this I'm surprised. What are his special moves gonna look like?" Ben commented.

"Considering that this is a pretty down to earth martial arts game for the most part, at least from what I'm seeing, I don't think an alien would fit here." Morty said.

"But a dinosaur is fine?"

"Different game, different context man."

On cue, after getting hit by a Hien Shippu Kyaku spin kick, Albedo used a blue fireball when he got up, a move courtesy of Ultimate Swampfire. When Dwayne jumped over it, Albedo did an uppercut, a black blade coming from his fist courtesy of Ultimate Rath. Even though the attack seemed early, it was still able to connect thanks to the tip of the blade, hitting Dwayne and causing him to get knocked out of the air.

"So they're converted into special moves for this game. Neat!" Ben commented.

Both threw projectiles at one another a couple of times. But Dwayne was the one with the advantage of being able to throw more thanks to the Ground Waves forcing Albedo to have to either jump or block as they weren't able to be cancelled out. Not to mention that Albedo had already used some of his rage gauge(This game's version of the spirit gauge) prior so he needed to recharge. He saw that Dwayne was running low as well. Assuming he was also going to charge his, Albedo stood still to start recharging.

But Dwayne wasn't doing that.

"Come on, what happened to that strategy of yours?" Dwayne taunted, doing the "bring it" gesture, which decreased Albedo's rage meter a bit as he was charging it. And Dwayne did it again as Albedo continued to charge. Seeing what he was doing, Albedo stopped charging and made his way towards him, jumping over the ground wave that was coming his way. But that proved to have been a mistake as Dwayne was able to use Kohou, a jumping uppercut similar to the ones that Furuya and Albedo used, though in Dwayne's case, the front of his body was facing the screen as he was using his rear fist to punch instead.

The second he got the chance to, Dwayne charged a bit of his rage gauge.

"What kind of a weak attack was that?" Albedo taunted, decreasing Dwayne's rage gauge to 0.

Dwayne tried to charge again before Albedo got to him, but it was too late. What he was able to charge up wouldn't be enough for another anti-air uppercut when he tried it, allowing Albedo's air punch to connect, staggering Dwayne for a bit before he performed multiple low jobs and ending with a high straight punch, sending Dwayne reeling from the straight punch to his face.

A ground wave coming at him made Albedo jump again. But this time, Dwayne was ready for it, throwing out a high kick that traded with Albedo's airborne kick. Though Dwayne's was able to knock Albedo down, allowing him to charge his rage gauge a bit before walking towards him. Dwayne threw out a left hook that was blocked by Albedo, who retaliated with quick low kicks, which were also blocked.

Another Ground Wave incoming forced Albedo on to the defensive, which Dwayne took advantage of and threw him, rolling back with Albedo still in hand before throwing his opponent behind him.

For the rest of the round, Dwayne used the Ground Waves assist to his advantage along with taunting to not allow him to use any special moves, allowing him to win the round.

"This guy has a boost to his throw power. Not a single throw done. Not good." Axl commented.

"In his defense, Dwayne's doing a good job in keeping him out. I think he knows that if he gets hit with one of those, it's gonna hurt. So he's making sure he doesn't get the chance to do that at all." Huey said.

"Even with that, he needs to figure out a way around it. I don't care what he has to do to do it. But he better come up with something fast." Sendo said.

And that he did. Rolling forward with a move courtesy of Ultimate Cannonbolt, he was able to hit Dwayne and knock him down, unaffected by the Ground Waves or any attacks that Dwayne threw at him. He then threw an airborne fireball, as he was jumping to avoid a ground wave. But instead of blocking, he dashed forward to try to get under the fireball. Which would have worked if he would have timed it right. But because he didn't, he was hit by the fireball and knocked down, allowing Albedo to quickly recharge his rage gauge a bit before advancing on Dwayne.

Dwayne was already blocking when he got up, anticipating an attack before quickly kicking to shut down any chance of a throw. But Albedo's attack would completely ignore this. Even though it might have been at the cost of his rage gauge, it was completely worth it, as he grabbed Dwayne and jumped high with him before slamming him into the ground so hard, the ground shook, courtesy of Ultimate Humungosaur's strength. Which was enough to knock him out instantly.

"What the hell!?" Eijun yelled out. Although no one else said it, several others on his team were thinking the same thing.

"Look at all of the meter he had to use for that. That had to have been his Super Attack." Randy commented. "A command grab."

"Great. It went from us having this in the bag to us being in legit trouble if he lands just one of those." Toxsa said as the final round was about to start.

"Yeah, but he has to land it though. Dwayne will be ready for it next time." Karin commented.

Dwayne planned his next few attacks carefully, even with the Ground Waves. Meanwhile, Albedo played it even more conservative, blocking more than attacking.

It was a battle of normal punches and kicks. Since the round started, not a single special attack was thrown out.

"Look at the way both of them are playing. They're definitely scared of making a mistake." Isagi commented.

"And getting punished for it if they do." Sena said.

"It makes sense why. One mistake could easily decide this match." Mamori said.

"But if someone doesn't try something, we're not gonna get anywhere." Akko said.

"Actually, Albedo needs to be the one that does something first. If it keeps going like this, four eyes is gonna win." Hiruma said.

She noticed why he said that seconds later, noticing the slight block damage he was still taking from the ground waves.

"But he's got that rolling move. He can just charge through all of those attacks." Natsu said as Albedo had just did a well-timed roll when Dwayne had thrown out a quick low kick, knocking Dwayne down. "See? Why the heck didn't he do that earlier?"

"Probably trying to save the meter for the grab to end it." Maki said.

"That and he was trying to time it. Albedo understands from the first round that if he gets knocked down, there's a good chance he's not going to win." Shiro said.

"This is my best chance. If he jumps, I win! If he doesn't, there's a great chance this is over." Albedo thought as they exchanged more punches and kicks with Albedo, fittingly, jumping to avoid a throw attempt by Dwayne.

After landing, Albedo gathers energy to attempt the grab.

"Here it comes!" Kaz said.

"Jump over it!" Hinata called out, even though Dwayne couldn't hear him. And that was exactly what Dwayne did. "Yes!" But instead of reaching forward, Albedo reached upwards, grabbing him out of the air before slamming him back down to the ground. It may have not been the same amount of force as before, but the damage was still enough to take him out.

"Oh come on! It's an anti-air too!?" Randy commented.

"That was a heck of a gamble." Maki commented.

"And it pays off too. The Rats win their first game of the challenge!" Chris announced.

Breakers: 3

Kings: 1

Rats: 1

"You surprised the heck outta me with that anti-air, not gonna lie." Dwayne said to Albedo.

"That was exactly why I kept it in my back pocket. Admittedly, you had me in quite a predicament after the first round. Good thing I was able to adapt." Albedo replied.

"Be honest, you didn't think about using that grab at all until the second round did you?" Ben asked Albedo.

"You are still my enemy. I don't have any obligation to answer you."

*Confessional*

Ben(Storm Kings):

"Yeah he definitely did. He got desperate after that first round and lucky for him, it paid off."

*End Confessional*

Albedo pulled the lever for the next game, which was Samurai Shodown V Special.

"Samurai Shodown. Hey Ryoma, this looks like something for you." Ayame said.

"I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. There's no guarantee I'll even get picked." Ryoma said as Blaze was chosen as the Rats' representative. The Kings were chosen as their opponents for this match, with Akashi being chosen.

"I'm a firm believer that you jinxed it." Ayame said to Ryoma.

Sougetsu Kazama was on the left, while no one was chosen on the right.

"This looks to be an interesting one. I look forward to going against you in this." Akashi said to Blaze.

"Don't worry, I won't be as cold to you as Urien. But, don't treat my manners as a sign of weakness." Blaze said, extending a hand to shake.

"I would never dream of it. May the best fighter win."

"I sure hope this still ends in someone beating the other's you know what." Chris said. "Now, stop being nice to each other, and get on the plates!"

Once both stepped on, the Blaze's appearance changed, taking on the appearance of the aforementioned warrior selected in the game. She now had long, flowing blue hair, styled upward and back and a white martial arts outfight with light blue and green accents, with a green sash tied around the waist. A katana was also holstered and she was also now wearing sandals.

Akashi's appearance, for the sake of this game, also changed, now wearing a white gi with red accents along with sandals and twin katanas. Though his hairstyle remained unchanged.

Once their appearances were changed, both were sent into the game as a versus screen showing their portraits along with their names was shown.

Sogetsu Kazama

Seijuro Akashi

Stage: Kuroko Dojo(Night)(Samurai Shodown V)

As the name of the stage implies, the two were now in a dojo. In the background, there were four windows with four candles in front of each of them that were lit in order for the two to see. White tape was placed around the hall, with the side of the tape that the two fighters were on being designated the training area. A small Shinto shrine is in the middle of the dojo area with purple curtains, white figures a poster with kanji that meant "ken" and a couple of chandeliers with candles that were also lit.

"Test your luck!" was heard being said in Japanese by the announcer.

The first two of the five wheels landed on the Tekken 6 logo and Wolverine(Marvel), the latter pointing in Blaze's direction.

The third landed on Juggernaut(Marvel), pointing in Akashi's direction. The fourth landed on a portrait of Kyo Kusanagi(King of Fighters), pointing in Blaze's direction. the fifth slot landed on Paul Phoenix(Tekken), also pointing in Blaze's direction. And the sixth and final slot landed on Kazuya Mishima(Tekken), who had a health bar over him with a red outline on it. His body was also emanating a red aura.

Because of the last one, both of their skin changed to red to indicate their enraged stage, with the rage meters at the bottom of the screen also instantly going up to "MAX".

Modifiers:

Tekken 6: The second round will take place in Tekken 6.

Berserker(to Blaze):Melee Attack speed is increased

I'm Unstoppable!(To Akashi): Grants Permanent Super Armor against all attacks(Cannot flinch from any attack. Incoming unblocked damage is decreased)

Kyo's Personal Touch(To Blaze): Punches, kicks and throws briefly ignite the opponent on fire, slightly increasing their damage and leaving a lingering burning effect. The burning lasts longer and is more effective with stronger attacks.

Paul's Mighty Fists(To Blaze): Punch damage is greatly increased

Rage(Applies to both): Rage mode is permanently applied(Increased damage, access to enhanced moves and Rage Arts)(Rage Arts are replaced with infinite Fatal Flash access and enhanced moves/rage drives are included with Infinite Rage Explosion Access)

(In Japanese) "Fair And Square! Battle 1! Engarde!"

The second Akashi threw out a sword strike, Blaze used a Fatal Flash and punished him for it, hitting him with seven spinning slashes before ending the attack by stabbing her sword into the ground, creating a pillar of water, dealing a great amount of damage in just the opening seconds(technically second as time stopped for the Fatal Flash). The damage, along with the burning left Akashi with only a sliver of health left.

"Wow. The match just started!" Chef commented.

"And that's exactly why she did it. Not a lot of people, especially someone like Akashi would have expected something like that that early, even with those modifiers." Lanolin said. "I probably wouldn't have either to be honest."

"Yeah that is certainly not fair and square." Doyle said. "But hey, at least Akashi can do it too, so I guess it's kinda fair."

After such an explosive start, everything after that was quiet in terms of action as both were very conservative.

"Man, with how they're playing you'd think both of them are on the verge of losing." Kaz commented.

"With how much damage that last attack did, I don't think either of them are taking any chances." Myron said.

"Well, someone's got to do something. What are they going to do, just move around and be scared to attack all day?" Fiona said.

"Well, we're already up. So if the time's up, we win." Zee said.

"Yep. So if they wanna keep doing that, I'd say let 'em." Axl said.

"Knowing him, I think that's exactly what's going to happen." Mayuzumi thought.

And that was exactly it. After a surprising start, it all culminates in a time over, giving Blaze the round.

"Wow." Sly commented, not believing at all how the round turned out.

"I understand being careful, but he could have at least tried. You'd be able to at least respect the effort." Kageyama said as the two transitioned to a new venue.

City After Dark(Tekken 6)

As the name implied, they were in a city late at night. A brightly-lit red neon sign of Onitsuka Tiger, a running-shoes brand that is now ASICS today. In the background was a functioning elevated suspension railway, along with several buildings and a billboard that showed advertisements for several fictional brands on the screen.

Blaze, notably, was her normal self, while Akashi had taken on the moveset of Asuka Kazama, along with her voice. Though her clothes and hair were customized to match Akashi's.

"Round 2! Fight!"

Notably, both of them were emanating a slight red aura, along with their health flashing red as well, indicating that rage was activated for both.

Blaze opened up the round with a quick hop kick, which Akashi sidestepped and immediately countered with Demon Slayer, a right elbow strike that popped Blaze high up in the air. He followed this up with two kicks, two punches and finally, a spinning heel drop that knocked Blaze away, causing her body to spin before falling to the ground.

Once Blaze got up, it didn't take long for the them to get up close again. Blaze performed a spinning kick that looked as if it was going to hit in the shin, but it whiffed. Though this was completely intentional, allowing her to go mid instead, with this being blocked. Even with it being blocked, Akashi wouldn't be able to punish it because of how fast she was able to recover.

But that didn't stop him from attacking back, grabbing Blaze by the arm, going around her and turning her arm before sending her to the ground.

She woke up with a sliding kick, which was blocked that branched into her going low for a spinning sweep as she got up. Akashi suddenly got into an unusual stance. The second that Blaze didn't attack, he got out of the stance. It wouldn't be enough of a correction to stop the throw that Blaze did however, as she spun like a ballerina while kicking him several times in the process before he fell to the ground after the last kick.

Getting up, Akashi ran a bit before tackling her to the ground and performing a couple of punches before she stopped any further ones, rolling them around and reversing the positions before she did the same thing. Before she could even land a punch, Akashi reversed this reversal and hit her two more times before getting off her. Currently, Akashi had the life lead with Blaze being a little over quarter health.

Akashi threw out a mixture of punches and kicks, all of which Blaze was able to block, with the last hit being one she perfectly parried, sending him airborne before following up the pop-up opportunity with multiple kicks that ended with a fiery leap kick, knocking Akashi back and to the ground.

Akashi threw out an elbow that was blocked, and Blaze retaliated with a hop kick, completely shutting down the reversal that he tried, popping him into the air as she performed a couple of jabs before performing upward twin kicks and a final thrusting kick before he fell back to the ground.

To avoid being cornered into the wall, Akashi rolled to the side before getting up. He blocked a left and right jab, and a body blow. But as soon as he tried to attack back, she sent out a stream of flames from one hand at him, with these flames being enough to knock him out.

"K.O.!"

A replay was seen of Akashi blocking the punches before being hit by the delayed finishing attack of the combo, the stream of flames.

"You win!"

Blaze did multiple backflips before landing with a concluding spin, her back turned to the camera. Though when the angle changed, a slight smile could be seen on her face.

Breakers: 3

Rats: 2

Kings: 1

"Well, I warned you didn't I?" Blaze said to him once they got outside of the game.

"That you did. Good game." Akashi said, shaking hands with her. "I can promise you though. The results will be drastically different the next time we meet. Be it today or another."

Blaze could feel something in his eyes and his tone that he was deadly serious. But, something about it was….. off. "We'll see about that. If you last."

"I am absolutely certain that I will."

Blaze went to pull the lever for the next game. After several seconds, it landed on Mortal Kombat Deception/Unchained(A/N: Unchained is the name of the PSP version of the game. For the sake of this chapter, the PSP/Gamecube's extra playable characters will be added in to the possible characters seen).

"Mortal Kombat! All right! Took us like seven games to see it, well, at least from the get-go but, better late than never." Chris said as the opening logos were seen for the game as it loaded. The save that Heloise, Doyle(and even Chef) used to unlock everything was being loaded as well.

The next slot landed on Whisper, with the third landing on the Kings, the following one landing on Rook's portrait.

"A chance to redeem myself. I will gladly seize it." Rook said.

Eventually, after the intro explaining the story of the game finished, the title screen was screen.

After another loading screen to the menu, and the loading of the Intern profile, with profile name literally being "TDInterns", the versus screen was finally seen.

Mortal Kombat Deception Character Select Theme Plays

The portrait on the left was changed to select Ashrah, as also heard by the announcer for the game. The right selected nothing.

"You get a chance to go at this before me. I'm super jealous. But seriously, break a leg. Or in this case, don't." Tangle said to her as she got on the plate, with her taking on the appearance of Ashrah before she and Rook were sent into the game. A loading screen was seen which showed a picture of Baraka in front of the Mortal Kombat logo. Fun facts were also added as the game loaded.

Did You Know?: In the MK Deception's Konquest Story Mode, there are people in the Netherrealm and the Chaosrealm that, when talked to, seem as if they're talking gibberish, or their native language. Gibberish translated by the subtitles below. However, this "gibberish" is just them speaking backwards. The real message not being on the subtitles. One secret message being "Parents of the world, There is no satanic messages hidden within the backward speech of Mortal Kombat."

Before the next fun fact showed up, the game finished loading.

Stage: Quan Chi's Fortress(Mortal Kombat 5: Deadly Alliance, MK6: Deception/Unchained)

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance/ Deception (Unchained) Soundtrack- Quan Chi's Fortress Plays

When the two fighters appeared, they found themselves on top of a platform where there were deadly lasers right below them, ready to fry anything that is unlucky enough to fall down with them. In the background of the arena was a glowing "egg", which was the inner sanctum of the fortress.

Ashrah was a demon with dark brown hair tied into a bun and wore a white hat with a long veil trailing behind it and a matching kimono-like dress with a gold belt and bracelets, with hoots also being the same colors.

"Test your Luck!"

Six roulettes were seen. The first landed on a Servbot, causing both of them to change into said character as the arrow pointed in both directions. The second landed on a rainbow-colored Ryu, pointing in Rook's direction.

The third landed on Tizoc again, pointing to the left.

The fourth landed on Scorpion as the floor was now suddenly covered in flames. Both Whisper and Rook looked down below them. But for some reason, neither were in pain.

The fifth slot landed on Joe Higashi as he created a hurricane with a red negative sign by the portrait, pointing in Rook's direction. Though interestingly, Rook was the one hit by a random hurricane projectile passing by.

The sixth slot landed on Marvel VS Capcom Infinite and Beyond.

The seventh landed on a portrait that included both Shin Butoden and Ultimate Battle 22.

The eighth landed on a picture of Hercule.

And the eigth and final slot landed on a lightning bolt with a red x covering it.

Modifiers:

Servbot Surprise!(Mega Man Legends)(Both): Affected fighters are shrunk and changed into Servbots

Hadoken Havoc(Rainbow Edition)(Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition)(To Rook): Attacks will randomly create a large number of Hadoken projectiles

Tizoc's Fury!(To Whisper)(Same use as previous match)

The Floor is Hellfire!: The floor will constantly be on fire the entire match, burning any fighter on the ground.

Reverse Joe Higashi Assist(Hurricanes)(To Rook): Hurricane Upper projectiles will randomly appear, damaging the fighter that this modifier affects if it hits.

No Breakers: Combo Breakers are disabled.

To Infinite and Beyond: An extra pair of characters will battle in Marvel VS Capcom Infinite and Beyond(Previous Modifiers are nullified)

Butoden Legacy: An extra pair of characters will battle in Dragon Ball Z Shin Butoden/Ultimate Battle 22.

Hercule Assist!(To Whisper): Be honored! The Martial Arts champ, and hero of the Cell Games, Hercule has decided to help you out in battle in a pinch!

The healthbars were extended as if they were unsheathed from a sword holster, as also indicated by the sound that came with it. In the middle was the timer for the match, which had 90 seconds on it. Also, because of how small the two were, and with them being in the fire, the camera had to be zoomed in to the fire to see them.

"Round one! Fight!"

Considering the fact that both were Servbots, it didn't seem like there'd be many options for moves compared to how they were previously. And while that would be true for many of the normal punches and kicks, this wasn't the case for special attacks as the two were able to call on other Servbots to help them out among other unique attacks.

Whisper grabbed him. Despite him seeing it coming, he was unable to escape out of it in any way. She jumped on top of his head after, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Come on, that throw was obvious." Ben commented.

"Oh right. You can't break throws in this game." Heloise said. "Forgot about that."

"What? Can you at least soften them or make them do less damage?"

"Nope. Only thing you can do to hope to not got grabbed is to try to duck it. At least with Street Fighter 2 you could reduce the damage even if you couldn't get out of them. This? I'm kinda wondering if something like that was an afterthought."

Rook threw a low double punch, but they were both blocked, with Whisper trying to retaliate but was hit by several Hadokens. With a hurricane coming his way, Rook sidestepped it and the attempted punch to Servbot tackle combo from Whisper. He countered with a couple of punches before throwing a table cloth in the air so hard, it knocked Whisper into the air. He followed this up with a week-timed four-hit combo with two punches and two kicks each, the damage compounded by the absurd number of Hadokens.

Because of the hellfire, both of their healthbars were getting lower and lower by the second, with both of them already passing the halfway point.

Rolling to her left along the ground, she got up and grabbed him again. Before she could jump on him, a tornado hit him. Sure it was damage, but it wasn't close to the damage that would have been done if the throw would have finished.

Whisper continued with a shin kick to a low poke, the second kick connecting from how Rook was flinching after the hit. Rook did his own mixup as well, and during it, a danger sound was heard on his end. But even so, Whisper blocked all of it, including the fireballs. With her still blocking, Rook walked forward to grab her. And while it worked, the credit for the round still went to Whisper as the last of Rook's health was lost due to burn damage. This reflected by Whisper getting up and Rook just falling to the ground, even though she didn't hit him.

"Whisper Wins!"

*Music Restarts from Beginning*

A couple of seconds later, Rook gets up for a second wind.

"Round Two! Fight!"

Seeing that he has the clear advantage in pressure thanks to the fireballs, he tried to use this to his advantage and throw the first attack. Both of them ended up hitting each other at the same time, both reeling from the connecting hits.

Rook did a sweeping kick, tripping Whisper up. Even though she was on the ground, he threw out a few punches, with the second creating several Hadokens like he had hoped for. But Whisper, instead of standing up and blocking them, she craftily rolls to the side instead, avoiding them. She calls for a Servbot to charge at him but he blocks it and launches her in the air with the long reach of the table cloth launcher before hitting her with an uppercut, seeing a Tornado coming. Because he ended the combo quickly, he had enough time to sidestep it.

Whisper, to avoid any fireballs, rolled to the side again. Though Rook, a quick learner, knew not to try that again. Rook threw out a table cloth launcher to try to catch Whisper off guard but it was blocked. Instead of trying to use a punch or kick, Whisper calls a Servbot, which works and was able to grab a hold of Rook's face. He tried to get the bot of but couldn't, with it causing damage to him in the process and leaving him open for a combo. But Whisper grabs him instead. And this time, there was no tornado to stop it.

Though as soon as Rook got up, another one was headed his way, which he sidestepped again. After avoiding the projectiles, he immediately started attacking. But Whisper, not blocking, was able to sidestep the attack attempts(and the fireballs, which there seemed to have been more and more of each time they appeared). After the sidestep, she immediately grabbed him.

This grab put her firmly in command of the game and Whisper knew this. Which was exactly why she played a little safer for the rest of the round, winning the war of attrition. She was of course given the option to use a finishing move on him, but opted not to. Or to even attack him at all. So once the fatality time expired, Rook fell to the ground.

Next was the transition to Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite & Beyond.

There, Zero and Jotaro would be chosen as the extra pair. Unlike the original game, Zero was styled similar to his comic-book style Marvel VS Capcom 3 look. While Jotaro had a style similar to the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle game.

Zero teleported in as he would in the Mega Man games and turned to face his opponent. "So it's you facing huh? Looks like we'll get to finish our fight from a while ago."

"I already told you before that I was capable of way more than you thought. Now I'm going to show you." Jotaro replied as he adjusted his cap before putting his hands back in his pocket. Both of them were supplied with Infinity Stones, Zero the Soul Stone and Jotaro the Power Stone.

"Ready?"

"Fight!"

Jotaro (Star Platinum) Theme – Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (PSX) feat. Seversi Plays

A/N: This theme is a cover of his Heritage for the Future theme,a Jojo Fighting game by Capcom themselves! I'd imagine if he was ever in a crossover game with character themes, they'd reference this theme since they have an in-house game rather it be his theme from the anime.

Zero dashed forward with his Hienyaku but was punched down by Star Platinum which appeared and then disappeared a few seconds later.

Now knowing to watch out for something like that when rushing in, Zero changes his approach and fires a Hadangeki projectile from his Z-Sword, a projectile that Jotaro blocked before dashing in to get in range for his own attacks.

With close range being the best range for both of them in combat, it was to no one's surprise that neither one of them got out of range from each other. Though eventually, it would be Jotaro that would start to get the advantage, using the extra pressure from Star Platinum and the Power Stone attack to put Zero on the defensive and eventually, be too much for him to guard as he was sent into the wall by one of the hits before being hit by a Level 1 Hyper Combo that called out Star Platinum and hit him multiple times.

Quickly dashing behind Jotaro with a quick Hienyaku that he couldn't react to fast enough, he then used his own Level 1 Hyper Combo, this one being Sougenmu/Twin Dream. He created a shadow copy of himself that would mimic his movements, including his attacks and putting pressure on Jotaro. Even though he could stop the real Zero, the shadow copy was a different story. And even with his Stand to help him, it still proved to be difficult. It was like having two people fighting him at once, with him being unable to hit the second. And the Maverick Hunter seized the opportunity for as long as he could while it was still active, even siphoning a bit of health from him with the Soul Stone leeching attack.

Once the time started to run out, he tagged out for Whisper, who was his partner from the previous battle.

"Don't be afraid to use me as much you can, got it? Just trust me." He said to her before he disappeared, with her nodding before putting her attention back on Jotaro.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be strong at long range, once she got some space, she used range projectiles to keep him back, which seemed to have been working as he didn't have any answers to the missiles or other projectiles she shot at him to stop him from advancing, including Zero, who assisted her using Hadangeki's along with surprisingly the shadow copy as well, virtually allowing her to have two assists rather than one. Until he used a Hyper Combo bar that allowed Star Platinum to be completely invulnerable as it advanced on her to attack, very similar to Zero's Sougenmu. Though the Stand was able to hit a lot harder than Zero, so the time was reduced.

But it was more than enough time to allow him to get in and do even more damage himself, using the Power Stone to bounce her off the wall and then using another Hyper Combo bar to hit her with another flurry of rapid punches before the Stand eventually disappeared.

She immediately woke up with a hammer swing to get him off, the swing being powerful enough to knock him into the wall that was his back was facing before she tried using the Soul Stone to heal herself. Unfortunately, he was out of range of the Stone's reach. But not of Zero's whose assist still was able to land, forcing him to block it when he got up.

Once he got up, he tapped into the full power of the stone for an Infinity Storm.

"It's not over yet!" Jotaro declared as the environment around them was surrounded with purple energy due to the Stone. Jotaro's damage would also be increased as long as this storm was active.

After activating it, he immediately used half of its power for his Hyper Combo meter as everything was frozen in place, indicated that he had stopped time.

Getting close, he combined the power of the stone and the Infinity Surge attack with it along with himself and his Stand to cause a large amount of damage to Whisper. Damage that she wouldn't even feel until time was unfrozen. And in this case, would be after a total of five seconds. Even the timer for his Infinity Storm was frozen.

Once the five seconds were up, he immediately used the rest of the Storm Time for another five second time stop before she fell to the ground and doing enough damage in this five seconds to take out Whisper in one Storm.

She was knocked out and she only had a few seconds to even know it happened.

The second he was forced to tag in, Jotaro used his Hyper Combo Meter to stop time again for another five seconds. Although Zero's was frozen until time unfroze, Jotaro's wasn't and he was able to build meter while it was frozen. He could have chosen to stop it for ten as he had three levels available but he decided to save the bar. Due to Zero's low armor, the damage he was able to do to him was even more devastating, leaving him at a "DANGER" state when the combo ended. Along with that, his Sougenmu had also expired.

But Zero wasn't one to give up. So, he used his own Infinity Storm from the Soul Stone.

Marvel VS Capcom Infinite & Beyond Soundtrack – Zero's Theme by Alex Moukala Music Plays

"Don't think is over! I'm just getting started!" Zero declared.

An orange storm was seen this time, and along with that, Whisper was also revived, with her also being able to fight with him simultaneously.

"You thought two was tough. Let's see how you deal with three!" Zero said, using a Hyper Combo for Sougenmu again.

"Star Platinum!" Jotaro called out, using the last Hyper Combo bar he had to use the Stand again. Now, five fighters were in play at once. "You may have numbers on your side, but that doesn't guarantee you'll win!"

"I guess we're about to find out won't we!?" Zero said as the five were on a collision course with one another. Though Whisper and Zero used their Soul Stones to keep Jotaro back and leech away health from him. And since three stone uses were done, they leeched three times the amount of health for themselves, leaving Jotaro in a bad spot as they had a major range advantage.

"Big mistake!" Jotaro said as Star Platinum was able to ignore the attacks and knock them into a wall before hitting them with multiple rapid punches and allowing Jotaro to get in and apply pressure himself to help his Stand, leaving them both on the verge of being knocked out.

"It's time to end this!" Jotaro said before calling out his Stand again.

"I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!" Zero yelled, channeling all of the energy that was left in the Soul Stone, instantly ending the Storm and forcing Whisper to tag out as red energy surrounded him akin to his awakened state from the Sigma Virus and was able to completely ignore the Stand barrage that was incoming. He sent a large crescent wave from his Z-Saber that was able to take out Jotaro as heard from his yell as Star Platinum disappeared.

"That was close." Whisper said.

"Close but, we won. And for right now, that's enough for me." Zero replied.

They then transitioned to the next game, Utlimate Battle 22, taken place in the Cell Games Arena.

Bennett was chosen next. Though in his case, he would be Vegeta. Mayuzumi would be Super Saiyan 3 Goku.

There wasn't even a signal to start as the music suddenly started to play.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 Soundtrack – Super Saiyan 3 Goku Theme Plays

"Wow. What is up with that walk?" Bennett said to Mayuzumi as he walked forward awkwardly without even getting out of the stance he was in. It took Bennett a few seconds to realize he was speaking Japanese with Mayuzumi also replying in Japanese.

"You can't criticize mine when yours is…" Mayuzumi instantly realized he was speaking Japanese when he wasn't even intending to.

Strange movements aside, the battle began. Though it was nowhere near what the music in the game conveyed it to be. There were definitely punches, kicks, throws and energy blasts thrown, but all of them looked very awkward. In fact, when they took flight at times, it was hard for them to even hit each other at times as much as they were trying to.

This awkward battle continued until Mayuzumi was close to winning. But a puff of smoke came in, blocking his vision before he could land what could have potentially been the final blow. He coughed, disoriented from the smoke.

Music Stops

Bennett was brought out of the game and back on the island, with him being confused.

"Bennett! Grab a controller so you can play." Chris said to him.

"What? But I was just in-"

"You'll be playing with Hercule."

"Oh, I think I get it." He grabs one of the PS1 controllers.

"Enough of your tricks punk! You're going up against the champ now!" Hercule said in Japanese, suddenly appearing from the smoke and getting in a fighting stance.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 Soundtrack – Mr. Satan/Hercule Theme Plays

"I don't have time for this." Mayuzumi said before using a Kamehameha blast to try to quickly finish him off. But it was blocked, to his annoyance.

Hercule hit him with a few punches and kicks and ending it with a Dynamite kick. It wasn't that much damage, but it clearly did enough to both Mayuzumi as he grabbed him whenever he got the chance to, hitting him in the gut multiple times before sending him in the air as he fell to the ground. He then followed this up with a two legged jump kick.

But the kick was blocked with Hercule responding with an upward crouch punch, knocking him back a bit. He tried to dash in but was kept out by a roundhouse. These weren't doing a lot of damage either but it still adds up. And it definitely added up to annoying Mayuzumi even more.

Believeing that he doesn't have any answer to any of Goku's abilities, he backed away and decided to charge energy to the max and play the range game, sending constant ki blasts his way.

But to his surprise, he actually did, being able to completely neutralize his ki blasts with a piece of paper.

Mayuzumi only scoffed before sending another his way, believing it to be a fluke. But it was deflected again.

When he tried to sending a stronger blast, Hercule respond back with a rocket launcher shot along with throwing mortar even without having any energy. And that was because Hercule wasn't able to use or charge energy in the game unlike the rest of the cast. Not expecting either of them to completely go through the energy blasts that he shot and destroy them as well, he was hit by both, leaving him at low health.

"This is ridiculous! What even is this!?" Mayuzumi thought as he continued to have to block more missiles and mortar. "Fine then. I'll just use my strongest attack and-"

Hercule yelled out before suddenly rushing him and hitting him multiple times with punches and kicks before finishing it off with a punch to the face that did absolutely no damage whatsoever.

Mayuzumi only looked at him, annoyed and confused before preparing to use his strongest attack, as planned until he was suddenly knocked out.

Music Stops

"Wow. He actually lost to that guy?" Aomine said before trying not to laugh.

"That's not funny. That's a game we could have won!" Courtney said.

"And just like that, the Rats have tied it up!" Chris announced.

"You're right about 'just like that'. It felt like we were behind not that long ago." Sena said.

"And now we're back in it!" Tangle said.

"More than back in it. We're tied for the lead!" Kurita exclaimed.

"Don't celebrate just yet. We were able to tie it, but we can fall behind again just as quick." X said as the next game was just decided. Said game being the NES version of TMNT Tournament Fighters.

"Wow. Didn't see this one coming." Heloise said. "NES fighting games are very rare. We had em anyway, but compared to all the other choices that are here, the chances of an NES game getting picked was super low."

Yulaw was chosen and was going to be pitted against Reagan.

"Oh great. You guys thought the early blocky 3D era was broken, just check this out. I wonder exactly why no one really made fighting games for that era." Toxsa said, the last part in a sarcastic manner.

"You cannot let this retro hate go can you?" Hailey said.

"It's not hate. Like I said, I just see its flaws. And there were way more flaws back then compared to now. I'm just thankful to not have been born in that era of games."

Both Yulaw and Reagan were brought into the game, both as themselves.

"I mean come on, look at those pictures! What is that!?" Toxsa said as the versus screen was seen Nothing but their portraits, their names and the VS logo was seen on the black screen.

"Would you shut up? It's not even that bad. You're just being picky now." Murasakibara said in an annoyed tone as Reagan and Yulaw, now as 8-bit sprites, were patiently waiting until the modifiers were finished being chosen. "Test Your Luck" was seen, but only the words as the announcer speech was very limited. The two were in a sewer.

"Pictures. And a black screen. Tell me that's not uninspired. Even for that low-power era."

"So that's uninspired but that Tekken versus screen wasn't? When that didn't even have pictures? Get outta here."

"Dude, how the heck can you be a gamer and just not like retro that much?" Randy said to Toxsa.

"And now I'm being called out just for having different opinions. No one says anything when people constantly say 'modern gaming sucks'." Toxsa said.

"Not gonna lie, I don't really care about your opinions since again, there're your opinions, but that picture thing is definitely reaching." Sucy said.

"Whatever. Let's just focus on this fight."

"Fun fact, this was actually the last third-party game released on the NES in North America and Europe. This was released in 1994 by the way. Past the point when anyone was making games for the system. Japan? No release there." Heloise said.

The eight modifiers were chosen for the game.

Modifiers:

Raph Assist(To Yulaw): Raphael(TMNT 2003; Multiverse Edition Veteran) will fight in this battle instead.

Haizaki Assist(To Reagan): Haizaki will fight in this battle instead.

Street Fighter II: Rainbow Bootleg Edition: Final round will take place in the NES Bootleg of Street Fighter 2(With added Rainbow Edition chaos!)

Mega Ball(Mega Man 8)(To Yulaw): An explosive soccer ball, created by Dr. Light, can be kicked at enemies. This ball can also bounce off surfaces.

Let's Rock!(To Yulaw): Hulk can be called on to assist the fighter with a gamma wave assist, sending a wave of earth towards the enemy

Infinity Gems(Marvel Super Heroes): Infinity Gems will appear and can be picked up by players. These gems, when used, give the same benefits as the source game.

Colossus(X-Men) Assist(To Reagan): Colossus can be called on to assist the fighter with a flying shoulder charge, knocking any enemy he hits high into the air

Stage: Sewer(TMNT Tournament Fighters NES)

Now, Raphael and Haizaki were converted into 8-bit sprites. Though in Raphael's case, he took on the appearance of the Raph already in the game.

TMNT Tournament Fighters NES Soundtrack- Sewer Plays

ROUND 1. "FIGHT !"

Raph ran and kick the Mega Ball, along with calling on Hulk. Haizaki, after backdashing and picking up the reality gem, quickly countered by using the Colossus Assist. While he was able to tank the first hit from the soccer ball, the Gamma Waves was able to ward him off…. Eventually as the game had slowed down. When the assists disappeared, the game returned back to normal speed, as Raph was flying headfirst at Haizaki to headbutt him. This being his unique(and only) special move in this game.

Haizaki tried to counter with an uppercut. But because of the pushback of the move, he was unable to.

He called on another Colossus assist. Because of how fast he was, Raph had no choice but to block it. And while he was doing that, Haizaki called on the power of the reality gem. Now every attack he did, for a short time, would also create different elemental projectiles. From fire, to ice, to rocks and even lightning. The only thing that saved Raph from being grabbed was him using Hulk to defend himself. Which caused another slowdown.

"Is it me or is this game kinda laggy?" Dewey asked.

"Like I said, primitive hardware. It's too much for it to handle." Toxsa said.

"He does have a point here. All of this happening simultaneously on something companies stopped supporting years prior is just too much for the console to handle. It probably wouldn't be too much of an issue if all of the extra additions from this challenge weren't there too." Mayuzumi said as Haizaki grabbed Raph and headbutted him multiple times. A few seconds later, the time for the reality stone expired. As soon as he stopped heabutting him, he called on Colossus again, forcing Raph to block.

Seconds later, a monitor with Splinter on it appeared and dropped a ball down in the middle of them. As Raph did a headbutt at Haizaki, he used Hulk to cover him. Although it was blocked, Raph continued to keep the pressure on him constantly with high and low punches and kicks.

The second he had a window, Haizaki called on Colossus again to get Raph off him. The assist came in too fast for the turtle to block and he was sent flying.

"Even without him using a controller, I can tell that he was really trying to get that one out." Hailey commented.

"With how Raph was pressuring him, I can see why." Doyle said.

Thanks to Colossus, Haizaki was able to get the ball and a couple more gems. These gems being the time and mind gems. He immediately used the former, which increased his speed. Which even included his attack speed and the travel speed of Colossus, him finding out about the latter when he used him again.

The extra speed forced Raph to defend. But the turtle was never one to quit and it showed here. Timing his attacks, Raph was able to get some great counters in, with one of them including a throw. But even with this persistence, Haizaki, using the ball that was dropped earlier, was able to win the first round.

"Did he just…. bite him?" Karin said.

"Game logic. I wouldn't even question it. If it was real, then I'd question it." Aomine said.

Round two started. And not long after the round started did Haizaki call on the power of the Mind Gem. Though nothing seemed to have happened to Raph other than him flashing rapidly. But neither he, nor could anyone else see what Raph was seeing. Which was everything being in the opposite direction than it actually was.

Which was why he kept attacking in the opposite direction even though nothing was there. And Haizaki took full advantage of it, getting in several free attacks. Luckily for Raph, it didn't last the full match. Only ten seconds. But those ten seconds were enough to put him at around a quarter health.

Even being in a tough spot like the one that he was in, Raph still wasn't going to quit, fighting his way back and against the odds(and some help from the Power Stone), he was able to take the second round to take the game to a final round. A final round that would take place in an 8-bit bootleg version of one of the most well-known fighting games in the world: Street Fighter II.

Raph was himself, while the latter was Chun-Li.

Stage: China(Street Fighter II)

Master Fighter II (NES) Music - Chun-Li's Theme

Just a single kick from Haizaki randomly created multiple Hadoken fireballs. Raph's punches caused Sai to go flying across the screen as well, with these projectiles being on the screen all at the same time causing the game to lag even worse than in Tournament Fighters.

Raphael's headbutts were astonishingly unblockable now as well. Something that took Haizaki off guard as he was knocked down.

Along with that, the two were now floating in the air. But the kicker came in when a stone was used along with assists and multiple sai and Hadokens on the screen as Raph was heabutting and Haizaki was jumping in the air, doing a jump kick. The game stayed that way for several seconds. Along with the music also freezing in place.

"Uh oh." Heloise said before pulling both out immediately. Seconds later, the NES needed to be unplugged.

"What the heck happened!?" Raph said, back on the island along with Haizaki.

"Game froze. And honestly, I'm not surprised. I'm more surprised you guys lasted as long as you did in there. All of that on an old system and it's a bootleg?"

"So now what? I ain't acceptin' a tie." Haizaki said.

"Neither am I. I say we do it again." Raph said.

"That's cool with me. Since both of you won a round apiece, we'll just do one final round. Of course, in another game. So, since the NES version didn't work, why don't we go up to something a little more reliable? The original arcade!" Chris said.

And that was what was loaded next.

"Wait, so, how are you guys even loading some of these arcade games without a…. you know, arcade machine?" Morty asked.

"Emulators." Heloise said. "Next best thing is a console port. But this? This is just a computer using an emulator."

"It's Street Fighter II. There's like a million different ports of this game. And that's just the arcade version. That are also just emulators. You could have just used that." Rick said.

"I know. But with those hacks and mods? Wanted to play it safe. Alright you two, go ahead back on the plates."

Both Raph and Haizaki step on the plates and are sent into the game.

A plane was seen flying to China on the character select map.

"China!"

The versus screen was shown after the two were seen in game.

Compared to the NES, this version of the game looked substantially better.

"Round one! Fight!"

With Haizaki realizing that by simply kicking he could make projectiles, he tried using this to his advantage. Which probably would have guaranteed him the round if it wasn't for the fact that when Raph kicked the Mega Ball, it continuously bounced across the screen instead of eventually stopping, also causing it to shake as more balls were made that also bounced across the screen. And this chain reaction continued for every ball that was made. Not even Colossus seemed to be able to do anything to stop them. And now Raph was the one taking full advantage. Or he would, if he would have had to do anything. The balls got to the point to where they covered the whole screen. Even Haizaki somehow teleporting behind Raph couldn't save him.

About ten seconds later, the game crashed with an exception error.

"I guess this is how it was facing Armored Armadillo huh?" Axl said to X jokingly.

"Maybe in a simulation." X replied back.

"Okay. Well, that was interesting. Mind you, I'm saying this as the person that expected some crazy stuff to happen. Having that stuff crash the game was not on my bingo card." Chris commented. "Regardless, the Rats win this game. Which means they have now officially taken the lead!"

Rats: 4

Breakers: 3

Kings: 1

"You realize how many people would be complaining if this was ever played seriously?" Haizaki said after he and Raph returned.

"Forget seriously. I'm pretty sure a lotta people would be complainin', cause what the heck was that?" Raph said.

"Honestly, I can't even really sweat it. It's supposed to be broken." Haizaki said, shrugging.

"Yeah, well unfortunately everyone isn't you." Reagan said, clearly not happy with the outcome.

"There's a reason why this is called 'Test your Luck'. Sometimes that's all this comes down to. That and how well you can adapt in those chaotic and unorthodox environments." Hanamiya said.

"Which would make sense if the balls weren't covering the entire goddamn screen!"

The next game would be Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3. And the beatdown delivered was something that won't even be shown. Only the beginning will.

Becky, Kagami and Lucy were all chosen to represent the Rats for this game. They would be pitted against Miyuki, Hinata and Hanamiya.

Becky was Ghost Rider, Kagami was Nemesis and Lucy was Dormammu.

Miyuki was Spider-Man, Hinata was Ryu(as Ken wasn't available), and Hanamiya was M.O.D.O.K.

"You know, having a flaming head kinda fits you." Miyuki said, hanging upside down on a web before landing. Hinata made sure his headband was tightened and Hanamiya only balled a fist.

"And having a black eye fits you!" Becky replied, showing up on a flame-wheeled motorcycle. Kagami dropped down and Lucy got up off her throne.

"Oh this is gonna be good." Chris commented.

"Go for Broke! Fight!"

Though this wasn't the case. If you closed your eyes, all you could hear after about the first 30 seconds was portal sounds, roaring and chain sounds with Becky talking as Ghost Rider.

"Okay. Never mind." Chris said as the match was ending with the Ghost Rider victory animation.

"Chain….to ass….." Becky said before riding off.

All three Rats were seen in a victory pose in three different comic panels, Kagami on the left, Becky in the middle and Lucy on the right. A quote from Becky appeared in a speech bubble a few seconds later.

With the quote saying: "Who's laughing now?"

Rats: 5

"Goddamn. She hates you kid." Haizaki said to Miyuki.

"Hate's a real strong word buddy." He replied.

"I don't have a problem doing that again. Just forewarning you." Becky said.

"Alright. That was easily the most uncompetitive game so far. As the Rats get to the halfway point, let's hope the rest aren't like this." Chris said.

*Confessional*

Hinata(Wave Breakers):

"I hope so too Chris. For lack of a better way to say it, we got our a[censored]es kicked."

*End Confessional*

A montage of some of the other games was seen.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle OST - Aggression and Victory ~ J.P. Polnareff ~ Extended Plays

The Rats' hopes of getting a sixth victory was denied by the Kings, specifically a Frenchman that also had a Stand like Jotaro that, while requested by the viewer Ginrai12, did not make the cut this season: Jean Pierre Polnareff. In the strangest way possible: A mirror match in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R against Sendo.

"Not bad, for a first-time Stand User. But, it would be quite embarrassing if I were to lose to someone as unexperienced as you. Especially using my own Stand." Polnareff said.

"Ah shut up. You won. Just know that I'm gonna try my hardest to get you back if we play again." Sendo said to him.

"Fair enough. To be honest, I look forward to it. And any other battles I get the chance to fight in. That last battle was a fun one."

The next game was Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution for the Wii. The participants for this fight would be Dewey against Diego, the former being Orochimaru and the latter being Gaara. The latter, after losing the first round, was able to recover and win the second and third rounds.

Rats: 5

Breakers: 4

Kings: 1

Next was Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends and then afterwards. Riley, as Lord Shen, competed against Yulaw, who was Kai and Zak, who was himself in a 3-player match, with Riley coming away with the win in Kung fu Panda.

Kings: 2

"What? That's only our second win!?" Dewey said in disbelief.

"Yeah. After that second game, you guys fell off and fell behind." Chris said. "Better string together some wins or it's gonna get ugly for you. Actually, who am I kidding? It's already gotten that way. It can only get uglier from here. If you keep losing, that is."

And unfortunately for them, that's exactly what happened. In the next game, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, Zak was Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, Chef, joining in, was a jacked version of himself worthy of competing in the DBZ universe, and in this game, Akko was Super Saiyan Bardock, and Reimu was Meta-Cooler. A modifier, Saiyan Invasion, would cause Raditz, Nappa, Scouter Vegeta and some Saibamen to also join in as neutral players. Unlike other games, the goal for this fight was to score the most points by knocking out the most opponents. And Ryoma was able to do just that.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised about this one." Heloise said.

"Why? Because it's Broly?" Kagami asked.

"Sorta. Not because of anything with the show. Moreso because for whatever reason, Broly is consistently really good in these games from what I've played. Like, broken good for the most part."

Breakers: 5

Even with this loss, the Rats were able to bounce back, with the help of fellow Fairy Tail Guild member Erza and get a sixth win, even with all three teams competing again in Fairy Tail Gekitotsu! Kardia Daiseidou for the DS and suddenly transitioning to Hyrule Castle in Smash 64, with both occasions also having Doyle compete as a fourth party.

Rats: 6

And she would compete again in Mortal Kombat 11 against Yami Sukehiro. The latter as John Rambo.

"If what Chris said about us fighting in another world is true…." Erza started in her intro as Player 1. A glowing sword appears as she grabs it from her pocket dimension.

"Who won? I was thinking the same thing, but I'm still gonna kick your a*s." Yami replied after turning around and tightening his headband.

She adjusts her right gauntlet before getting into a fighting stance. "Profanity aside, it looks like we are on the same page."

And in the end, Yami was able to grab the victory.

"Wow, that was awesome Captain!" Asta exclaimed.

"I know you've got your Guild to help, but when my squad needs my help, I'll be damned if I let them down!" Yami said to her after they were back on the island.

"I can see that. And I truly respect you for it. Which is why I will return the favor the next time we battle each other." She replied.

Breakers: 6

Next was Sonic The Fighters, though in this case, with a modified Tekken Tag Tournament twist, allowing a second person to join in for each team and tag in an out during the match. Though per the rules of the game, one person getting knocked out ends the round. Afterwards was a transition to King of Fighters 15.

The participating members were Julie and Ayame against Maki and Bachira, with the latter tag team able to come away with a win. Afterwards, Weiss, as Shermie would go against Lucy, as B. Jenet, with the former winning.

"Are you alright?" Louie asked Aomine, genuinely concerned. He constantly had his mouth covered, slightly sweating and looking as if he was trying to hold something in before ultimate deciding to leave for a bit as his hand was revealed to have had a bit of blood on it. But so did some of his nose.

"Well? Did you-" Weiss started before realizing Aomine was gone. "I guess he needed a bathroom break."

Kings: 3

And the next game after that, Skipper and Akashi were able to secure their second win in a row against Jenny and Fiona in Nickelodeon Super Brawl 2.

"And that's how it's done people! Make it four!" Skipper declared after making his return to the island.

Kings: 4

Their win streak would end at two in the next game: Sailor Moon S, this time via 5-on-5 against Rei, Lotte as Usagi, Morty as Sailor Jupiter, Kise as Sailor Venus and Rick as Chibi-Usa. Todd would also be Chibi-Usa, Jotaro was Sailor Neptune,Courtney as Sailor Mercury and Octavia was Sailor Saturn. Only Razer was able to be himself. Lotte, besides Rei, were clearly the best players of the match, with the former acting in a way that Rei and Morty were the first to notice, with Kise not being too far behind.

"I don't know what got into you, but I like it." Rei said to her.

"Yeah, you were awesome! I guess you used this to vent huh?" Morty said.

"I-I wouldn't go that far…" Lotte replied, unsure how to handle the praise, especially from the latter.

"Yeah, we won, great. But I don't ever wanna do that again." Rick said.

"Why not Rick?" Morty asked.

"Morty, did you see who I had to be? I swear to God, if I have to be back in this game again and I don't get to be myself, I'm not playing."

"But Rick, if we need you to play to win-" Lotte started before Rick cut her off.

"Don't care. Still not doing it."

Rats: 7

"Well I guess you don't care about joining where we're at if we lose this game because of you." Rei said.

"The chances of that happening are exponentially low, so no."

Next was SoulCalibur VI. Asta and Axl were both themselves in this fight. Though because of how SoulCalibur worked, Axl needed to use a close-quarters weapon. And his skill in using those compared to range ones showed in this game, with Asta being able to completely capitalize and win the game by a ring out.

Breakers: 7

The next game was Injustice 1. The match was between Todd and Mamori. The former was Deathstroke and the latter was The Flash. Todd made it clear in the first few seconds that he was going to play a keep away game and keep her out despite The Flash have the ability to slow down time and vibrate through projectiles. But again, he didn't care. He stuck to his guns, literally. And, to his credit, when he needed to, he could keep her out with more than just projectiles.

The match was still pretty competitive, but Todd was still able to keep her out well enough to win.

"Coward. How can you feel comfortable winning that way?" Erza said to him.

"Well what the heck do you want me to do? If I got in close she'd slow down time and pummel me for a bunch of hits." Todd said. "You want me to do something else, get around it."

Kings: 5

And that's exactly what was done next in Mortal Kombat 1(2023). Yulaw was Omni-Man with a Kung Lao Kameo assist and Louie was Sektor with a Motaro Kameo assist.

Though the match wasn't as easy as Yulaw expected it to be due to him using the teleport as a tool for easy combos.

The match was very close, but Yulaw was still able to win, using Kung Lao's low hat throw in conjunction with a flying overhead at almost the same time, making it very difficult to block.

When "Finish Him" was heard, everyone expected it to be the end of it. But Yulaw had other ideas, and instead elected to do a fatality.

Music and Montage Ends

He grabbed him by the throat before taking him to a subway. A few seconds later, a train was heard coming.

"Okay, I don't think I need to see this." Huey said, covering his eyes with Dewey covering his own as well.

"And there we go!" Chris said, seeing that the camera cut to him and the spectating contestants, and guests when the train started to get close. "So, how are you guys doing today?"

"Probably a lot better if I wasn't around to witness that happening." Sophie said, referring to the fatality as Omni-Man(Yulaw) was completely unharmed as the train passed through. Though that definitely wasn't the case for Sektor(Louie), or the virtual people on the train.

"Well, at least it's not you." Chris said.

A few seconds later, the train finished going through, with the bottom half of Sektor's body falling off, and Yulaw tossing away the head as if it was trash.

"FATALITY!"

"Omni-Man Wins!"

When the camera cut back to him, only a bloodied Omni-Man could be seen.

"You realize the fatalities are optional right?" Lucy said to Yulaw. "Meaning you don't have to do them."

"I know. His playstyle just annoyed me." He replied.

"If it was me, I'm doing the same thing. If you think you're good enough to do that crap against me, then you should be good enough to face the consequences." Sendo said. "You think Louie would have cared if he won? I bet you he would have did one too."

"True. I probably would have." Louie admitted.

Rats: 8

The next game was Injustice 2. Yulaw was pitted against Eliza, with the former as Superman and the latter as herself. Modifiers caused both to be constantly losing health with the last modifier being completely unknown, as it literally stated in the description. The intros of the match were about to begin.

Stage: Gotham City(Projection Room)

Injustice 2 Soundtrack- Gotham City(Projection Room) Plays

Yulaw landed on the ground, causing it to shake as he did. His Superman costume was all black, with the "S" on his chest being a navy blue.

On the other side, Eliza appeared, being carried by Horus and Albus on a throne before being put down. She was wearing sunshades, and had several shopping bags. The colors of her outfit matched that of Raven from Teen Titans. Albus had the colors of Beast Boy and Horus had the colors of Cyborg.

"The Man of Steel. How fitting for a man such as yourself." Eliza said to him, getting off her throne with Albus and Horus leaving and carrying the throne back.

"Flattering, but it won't save you from what I'm about to do to you." Yulaw replied, balling a fist, eyes glowing red.

She takes off her shades and causes them to dissipate, revealing the shades to have been completely made of blood. "Once we're through here, I'm more than willing to let you do whatever you want to me."

"Begin!"

Despite Yulaw charging in with a flying punch, Eliza's reach with her staff was able to completely stuff the move and knock him down, scoring her the first hit of the game, and also a reward of one extra bar of Super Meter at the bottom right, giving her two out of four compared to Yulaw's one(every normal match of the game starts players off with one bar of meter). Interestingly, there were two additional smaller bars by each of their super meters. Eliza's had a picture of Sekhmet, while Yulaw's was the same as Superman's, which was what seemed to have been the sun.

Getting up, Yulaw jumps and does an air dash towards her but she stops it with a crouching upwards staff attack and then follows this up with multiple staff hits before ending it with a bloody fist punch, knocking him backwards to the other side of the area.

"No hard feelings, darling." Eliza said to him after the knockdown.

Waking up, Yulaw used Heat Vision, shooting it across the ground before it got to her. Though it missed as she was able to jump over it.

She summoned Sekhmet before causing it to leap at him, which he blocked. Once she summoned Sekhmet, the smaller bar, as mentioned before, by her Super Meter, started to gradually decrease, with the leaping attack reducing it by a good bit.

Even with the attack being blocked, Sekhmet continued to stay out. Yulaw backdashed before using a Heat Zap this time. Eliza expected Heat Vision again, but those were two completely different moves with different timing. And because of that, her jump was mistimed and she was hit by it, knocking her down, with Sekhmet coming back a couple of seconds later.

With her being knocked down, Yulaw quickly dashed forward to try to close the distance. She woke up with a low staff swing to try to trip him up, but he was able to block it and counter with a ground zap, hitting her low before using a bar of meter to freeze her with Ice Breath. He then followed this up with a punch that sent her flying at the wall before bouncing back towards him before he flew up to grab her and throw her back to the ground. Staying in the air, in a sense of irony, Yulaw picks up an Anubis statue and throws it down at her while she was still on the ground, which did a decent amount of damage.

Instead of using a normal attack, Eliza wakes up with an armored wall bounce attack like the one Yulaw used earlier, with her wall bounce being a strong staff swing, the armor coming at the cost of one bar of meter. Because of the damage she took, she was at three and counting and now down to two.

The armor was able to tank the overhead that Yulaw tried and bounced him off the wall, allowing her to follow up with a combo of her own. Jumping in the air, she picked up a hanging light from the ceiling and tried to throw it at him while he was on the ground but it missed.

Yulaw tried to block the attack that he knew was coming but guessed wrong as he was hit low before Horus grabbed on to his legs from below and stopping him from moving. This allowed Eliza to summon Sekhmet before following up with another combo that ended with Sekhmet grabbing onto him and stabbing him multiple times with Yulaw yelling in pain as Eliza laughed, amused and pleased by the display.

"Even steel can be broken." Eliza said after Sekhmet finished.

Yulaw, getting up, yelled again, though this one wasn't one from pain. He now had red aura around him, indicating that he was using his own Character Power, Unchained.

She controlled Sekhmet from a distance to attack but Yulaw tried to grab him and toss him aside. While that didn't work, it did cause the parasite to flinch and be forced to immediately return to Eliza. The damage that was caused by Sekhmet was returned to her health. While it surprised her, she wasn't concerned as she still had the health lead. And it was only growing with the damage over time still occurring, leaving him close to losing all of his first bar.

She also had all four bars of her Super Meter, with an Ankh symbol now being shown. The words "SUPER MOVE AVAILABLE" were also seen for a brief second.

Yulaw advanced and attacked. And instead of using an overhead like the three hit punch combo would usually end, he low-scooped her up off the ground before popping her up with a small uppercut and then following this up with two punches and a flying punch, sending her back.

But about a couple of seconds later, he was knocked down due to the damage over time.

Sekhmet came out of Eliza before mirroring her movements for a bit.

"What happened to dominating me?" She taunted before he got up a few seconds later, getting a second win as his second and final bar of health was revealed, with this one being colored red. A small sword and shield icon was also seen next to it, with the words "CLASH AVAILABLE" also being seen.

Once he got up, Eliza recalled Sekhmet before they resumed their battle.

Eliza tried to mix him up again, but this time he was able to guess correctly, blocking the overhead and countering with a grab, picking her up before shooting heat vision in her face, causing her to yell out in pain before he punched her away a short distance.

"There's more where that came from." Yulaw said. He activated Unchained again. And because he did that, he was able to completely break through the armored blood fist punch that she tried to wake up with to stop his pressure, at the cost of one bar of meter, leaving her back at three bars again.

After uppercutting her and doing the same punch to uppercut combo a second time, he froze her before sending her back with a wall bounce. But he wouldn't be able to follow this up with anything as she was sent flying out of the Projection Room, indicating that a Level Transition was triggered.

Music Stops

She was punched into an electric box so hard it exploded, blasting her sky high and out into a helicopter before falling into a portal and into a rocky wasteland. Slowly getting up, she looked around and saw where she was. Nothing but wind was heard.

New Stage: Rocky Area(Several Dragon Ball Z Video Games)

Game: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 1

"From a city to a desert. An interesting transition….." She commented before realizing that her voice was completely different along with noticing her green arm. She looked at herself and realized that she was no longer well, herself. Her voice was raspy, most of her body and skin was green with black spots all around them and she had a tail with a stinger at the end.

She got up and yelled out in horror. "What did he do to me!?"

"She's Cell?" Kagami commented. And he was correct. Eliza had turned into Imperfect Cell.

A few seconds later, Yulaw landed. He had now taken on the appearance of Super Buu. Though he was also wearing the blue Metamoran jacket of Gotenks, indicating that he had already absorbed said fused warrior.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 1 Soundtrack- Move Forward Fearlessly Plays

Yulaw looked at himself.

"I don't know what happened, but it looks like both of us have gone through quite the makeover." Yulaw said.

"For you, maybe." Eliza remarked.

Yulaw heard her voice and agreed. "Yeah, you're right. Don't worry, I'll make this quick."

"By standing there and taking the suffering I'm about to unleash upon you? I greatly appreciate it!" Eliza replied, no longer in a playful mood. She was determined to make Yulaw pay.

Both jump back before flying into the air.

Unlike earlier, Shenron was now the announcer. Their health also seemed to have been carried over and converted into the amount of health they would have for Budokai Tenkaichi 1. The same with their Ki bars, which was converted from their Super Meter. While Yulaw was almost fully charged, Eliza was already at MAX POWER as indicated by the blue instead of yellow Ki bar below her health along with the electricity effect seen on her health bar.

"Ready? GO!"

Once both found each other, Eliza, once she got close enough, attempted to use her Ultimate Attack, "Drain Life Cell". "You're mine!" Eliza said before dashing at him. He tried to block it, but the attack completely ignored the block.

"What the hell!? He blocked that! I literally saw him do it!" Monta said.

"I did too. How strange that it was still able to break through." Polnareff said.

"I guess it's an unblockable?" Morty guessed.

Eliza had impaled Yulaw with her tail before absorbing a large amount of his life force and siphoning it to her own health before knocking him away with the tail. While he was being sent back, she started to charge her Ki.

Getting up, Yulaw dashed at her before stopping not too far from her. He attacked a few times but all of the punches were blocked easily. She countered by grabbing her and draining a little more of his health before knocking him a way again and then used the Special Beam Cannon.

His health was now blinking red, indicating that it was low. And after the Special Beam Cannon, it was very low. A few seconds, and a couple of regular Ki blasts later, he was knocked out.

"Winner!"

The winning animation for Cell was seen, with Eliza moving the tail by her, hands out, shrugging.

"Well, you did say you'd make it quick." She remarked before they were brought out of the game a few seconds later.

"And that's it! This win marks win number six for the Kings? They're halfway there! But, their opponents have been there for a little bit now. So they've got a lot of work to do if they hope to come from behind and snag a win." Chris said.

Kings: 6

"No hard feelings Yulaw, as I said before. I just despised that form." Eliza said.

"Well, if it was no hard feelings, you should let me win the next game." Yulaw replied.

"Give me an….. incentive to do so and I may consider it."

"Again, I am happily committed."

"Too bad. No free wins for you then."

"Hey, can you pull the lever so we can play the next game please?" Todd said to Eliza, starting to get annoyed.

"Sorry. How inconsiderate of me." She pulled the lever to decide the next game. The lever stopped on Killer Instinct(2013).

Jotaro and Randy were chosen.

Once they got in the game, Randy was Jago while Jotaro was himself. Though the first modifier of the game changed Randy and replaced him with Haizaki, with him suddenly transforming. He now had the appearance of Cinder. The second modifier gave Jotaro a Polnareff assist, while the third and final modifier gave Haizaki an assist with, oddly enough, Randy.

Haizaki looked at himself and was more than pleased with what he saw. "Oh yeah, I think I'm gonna like this. But you know what I'm gonna like more? Beating you're a*s."

"Looks like you still haven't toned down that overconfidence of yours." Jotaro replied, adjusting his cap.

"Why would I? When I'm like this? You expected me to be afraid of you or somethin'?" He replied, shrugging before sending a stream of fire forward.

"You wanna kill the beast, you gotta look em in the eyes before you even have a chance at takin' their heart out. And believe me, I'm gonna enjoy doin' it here. Let's go." Haizaki said.

Both of them got into a fighting stance, with Haizaki grinning the entire time.

Their health bars along with their portraits were seen. Right below them were yellow bars that was their Instinct Mode meters. And at the bottom was their Shadow Meters for enhanced moves.

"Ready?"

Surprisingly, Haizaki wasn't the first to throw out an attack, crouching and guarding Jotaro's first series of attacks, all of which were highs or mids.

Jotaro continued to pester him with these attacks until he finally went for a grab, something that Haizaki interrupted and countered with a quick Trailblazer, turning into a stream of fire and dashing forward into Jotaro with a quick burst. Once he saw he felt the conversion, he continued and performed a quick barrage of punches and Trailblazer dashes, with him flashing purple and leaving afterimage on one of the Trailblazer dashes before Jotaro fell to the ground, totaling the number of hits to 25.

"Crazy Combo!"

While he was on the ground, Haizaki threw a couple of pyrobombs on the ground before walking back a bit.

Jotaro got up and sees them, knowing that his opponent set those up as a trap, so he calls out Polnareff for an assist.

"Of course!" Polnareff said before calling out his own Stand, Silver Chariot. The Stand pointed the Rapier downward shooting a Rapier projectile in that same direction before it ricocheted upward. Unsure of what that assist would do, Haizaki put his advance on halt and got into a blocking stance to be safe. The projectile only did a slight amount of block damage when it connected.

Haizaki noticed that Jotaro had jumped over one of the bombs while this was happening. However, outside of maybe some longer reaching attacks, he didn't think Jotaro would be able to reach him. So he threw out a quick Inferno, sending a stream of fire forward for about less than a second before stopping. This stream of fire, as Haizaki expected, was blocked.

He walked forward a bit again before crouching low, ready to block any incoming attack, especially surprise lows that would clip him. He walked back a bit before jumping and immediately detonating the other bomb that was still on the ground.

Jotaro dashed forward before crouching and blocking the low reaching kick that Haizaki threw out. He thought about throwing out his own kick but decided not to and only walked forward a bit before crouching again.

"What the heck are they doing? Especially Haizaki." Fiona said.

"I can understand Jotaro having this rather 'non-aggressive' approach, but not Haizaki. Especially after the quick start he had." Diana said.

"He's playing it safe." Toxsa said.

"Well yeah. That's what we were just alluding to." Fiona said.

"Yeah, but he's not doing it just because. He's trying to get a feel for what Jotaro's gonna do and figure out what moves he can do to get the best punish possible. Fighting Game strategy. He's literally fighting how he'd play. Problem is, Jotaro's not giving him that. All he's done is like a few punches and kicks. And he only tried to throw once. This match definitely ain't fittin' the music playing so far."

"I see. And it makes sense because this is still game after all."

"Let's just hope Haizaki's willing to stay patient enough. It's one thing to do it for like 15 seconds. It's another thing to do it the whole match. Not everyone's got the patience, or the nerves to be able to do that." She thought.

"Tch." Jotaro said, breaking a grab attempt from Haizaki.

Haizaki walked back a bit before blocking a right hook from Jotaro, who walked back a bit right after. Haizaki suddenly snapped his fingers, but it did absolutely nothing. A split second after, Star Platinum appeared and shoulder charged Haizaki, knocking him down before it disappeared afterwards.

"The hell? What was- wait." Haizaki thought before suddenly remembering what Polnareff said about a Stand. "That's it! That's his Stand. Since he uses it to fight, of course it'd be part of his moveset."

Now that he could see it, he was ready for it now. Or at least the best he could be. That was only one move out of the several other things Jotaro's done with it throughout the season.

He threw another pyrobomb, this one travelling a longer distance than the previous two. Despite Jotaro trying to block it, it still attached to him anyway.

The second he saw Jotaro move, he detonated it. But this wasn't just any move. A split second later, he had streaks of purple trailing behind him, along with purple symbols, which indicated that he had just used one of his bars of Shadow Meter. With it, he was able to attack with Star Platinum, completely ignoring the bomb detonation as if it never happened. After the Stand connected with the downward punch, he called on Polnareff to assist him as he did the same Rapier Ricochet attack again, adding on to the combo that Jotaro was building that ended with a Star Platinum grabbing him and hitting him with rapid punches, totaling to a 21 hit combo.

"King Combo!"

"All right, you got your first combo in. And it ain't exactly a bad one either. Now let's see you try that again." Haizaki said after getting up. He blocked the extra attacks that Jotaro threw out, which ended in a rapid punch from Star Platinum before it disappeared again. Even with him blocking, Haizaki wasn't in a position to punish it.

"He was open! Why didn't he attack?" Noelle said.

"If he did, he might have gotten countered. Those quick punches look like they're safe." Toxsa said.

"You seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this. Who do you think is going to win?" Erza asked.

"I dunno. I haven't seen enough to get an idea about their moves."

"Do you understand anything he's saying about these….. games?" Erza asked Yami low.

"Nope. Just enjoyin' the fight for what it is." He replied.

"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one a little lost here." She muttered before focusing back on the fight.

"I hope I don't miss much. I think I need a bit of a bathroom break." Bakura said.

"TMI man. You gotta go, just go. Trust me, no one's gonna hate you for going to the bathroom. Despite how people don't like each other for other things around here." Louie said.

"Right. Of course. Sorry." He said before leaving.

"I'm feeling a little attacked." Becky said honestly.

"Not just talking about you." Louie said.

Reaching forward with a kick after seeing an opening, Haizaki charges forward with another trailblazer before hitting a mixture of high and low attacks before ending with a Fireflash, which was where he flipped into the air with a kick, hitting him multiple times with said kick to cap off an 11 hit combo.

"Extreme Combo!"

Haizaki jumps back and throws a couple more pyrobombs, sticking one on Jotaro before he gets up. Though unlike before, when Jotaro moved, he wasn't as quick to want to detonate, knowing that he could be punished for it if he's not careful. And Jotaro capitalized on this, calling on Star Platinum.

Though it didn't attack. It was only on standby(no pun intended), as it followed him as he moved.

After a few seconds of nothing but walking from the both of them, Jotaro got Star Platinum to charge forward, which made Haizaki immediately detonate the bombs to at least get a trade. Although Star Platinum wasn't affected by the hit, Jotaro was, flinching a little from the explosion. Though Haizaki was still hit by the overhead fist, bouncing him off the ground. Using another Shadow Bar and creating the same effects as before, he began to combo Haizaki again.

"Uh uh!" Haizaki said before doing a Fire Flash to stop the combo and send Jotaro flying along with forcing Star Platinum to disappear.

"C-C-C-Combo Breaker!"

Haizaki tried to grab him again, but Jotaro, like before, broke away.

The second Jotaro tried a jab was the second Haizaki did a Fire Flash sending him flying into the air. Afterwards, he dashed forward at him. When Jotaro tried another safe string of attacks, Haizaki completely powered through it with a Shadow Counter and started another combo. Reading a pattern in his combo sequence, Jotaro tried to counter it and break the combo.

"Over here!" Haizaki said, quickly moving behind him, causing Jotaro's combo break attempt to fail.

"Lockout!"

Haizaki continued to relentlessly combo and mix him up at an absolute ludicrous speed, too fast for Jotaro to read. "What's wrong!?" He taunted as he hit him with an overhead, which Jotaro had guessed wrong again.

"Lockout!"

"HA HA HA HA HAAAA! BURN BABY!" Haizaki hit him with two lows in a row before using Inferno to burn him before going back and forth in front and behind him three times before using a shadow bar and dashing into him with Trailblazer again. Though afterwards, he paused the second Jotaro had actually been able to guess right. But it didn't matter as the pause was Haizaki getting into a Combo Breaker counter stance.

"C-C-C-Counter Breaker!"

"Don't think so!" Haizaki said as he continued his combo.

"You thought I was joking when I said I wasn't waitin' for this!? WELL HERE'S THE PUNCHLINE!" He hit him with two heavy punches before finishing things off with a clap, creating fire from his hands and causing an explosion that sent Jotaro flying, and erasing the rest of his health in a single combo, totaling the hits to 78.

"GODLIKE!"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Haizaki roared out.

Toxsa and several others were speechless.

But a few seconds later, Jotaro was able to get back up for a second wind as he second(and final bar) of health was revealed, this one being red.

"Ready?"

Jotaro continued with the same approach that he went with before, which allowed for Haizaki to read him and counter appropriately.

"What the hell? You just got your s*it kicked in and you're gonna try that again like I'm not gonna read you? I don't even need video game knowledge if you're just gonna do the same thing!" Haizaki said as he continued to combo him. This time for 18 hits.

"Beastly combo!"

Jotaro summons his Stand as Haizaki tosses a couple of bombs. When Haizaki realized that Jotaro wasn't going to bite, he let them harmlessly dissipate.

Jotaro then called on Polnareff again, with Jotaro slowly advancing as Silver Chariot began to attack as Haizaki started to back away to avoid Silver Chariot. Realizing that Jotaro was trying to use the assist to be aggressive, he crouched low to try to avoid any lows and was prepared to break any throw attempts. And to quickly get up to block overheads. But none of those came. Instead, he used Star Finger, which broke his bloke.

"W-what the hell!? I was bl-" Haizaki started before Jotaro was suddenly on him as the Star Finger was a starting setup for his own combo. Using a mixture of himself and his Stand, it was his turn to mix up and confuse Haizaki. For a seconds anyway. Haizaki guessed right after a bit, but his breaker was stuffed by Star Platinum, blocking and hitting him back, allowing Jotaro to continue uninterrupted for a few seconds.

"C-C-C-Counter Breaker!"

A/N: Counter Breakers count as Lockouts in KI. Though the penalty for being hit with a counter is an extra second compared to normal Lockouts.

Jotaro ended the combo with rapid Star Platinum punches, but this was stopped by Haizaki at the last second.

"C-C-C-Combo Breaker!"

The combo would end at 47 hits and leaving Haizaki at the magic pixel of green health.

"Godlike!"

Haizaki was determined to keep Jotaro back at all costs by using projectiles. Which included avoiding Polnareff. Which actually seemed to have been able to work for a while, until Jotaro used Star Platinum's breath to forcefully pull Haizaki in. When he realized this, he jumped away instead of backing away from him, which allowed for Jotaro to use Star Platinum as anti-air, the multiple punches knock Haizaki out of the air.

"DAMN IT!" Haizaki yelled out, with an echo of this yell being heard. He got up a few seconds later as his red health had also been revealed. "So you got me down to my second bar. Doesn't mean anything. I'm not lettin' you beat me!"

"Ready?"

Now it was Jotaro's turn to play the range game via Star Platinum. And because he would quickly make the Stand leave after the attacks, it only left a small window for Haizaki to punish and attack the stand to damage Jotaro as well.

"Bring that Stand out again, and I'm gonna burn it!" Haizaki warned. When Jotaro tested him, that was exactly what he did.

"He hasn't even used his assist once. Hopefully he-" Myron started.

"He's not going to." Aomine said. "He wants to win this by himself."

"Pride huh? Hope that doesn't bite him in the a[censored]." Yami said nonchalantly.

Afterwards, Jotaro would try to pull him again, going for low attacks after each pull, knowing that Haizaki wouldn't try to jump again after knowing about the threat of being anti-aired.

"Come on. I know it's comin'." Haizaki thought as he was constantly being pestered by the low attacks.

But what came next was not what he expected. Jotaro, using a shadow bar, enhanced Star Platinum's inhaling pull, pulling him instantly up close to Jotaro.

"Sh*t!"

He knew that he had to stay defensive and guess right or he was about to eat a good chunk of damage. But instead of him attacking, Jotaro threw him, with Star Platinum picking him up before slamming him back to the ground.

Jotaro then used his second bar of meter to pull Haizaki in again.

But unlike before, he retaliated, yelling out before his flames grew stronger on his body, indicating that he had activated his Instinct Mode. "Now you're gonna feel the heat!" Using the attack window he had, he used one of his Shadow Meters to start a combo with Inferno instead of Trailblazer.

Jotaro tried to stop the combo after a few hits but guessed wrong.

"Lockout!"

"Like I said, I wasn't losin' to you! Now take this!" He continued the combo by clapping, creating an explosion before continuing the barrage with multiple quick jump kicks and multiple highs, lows and side-switches.

"ORAAAAA!" Star Platinum roared out to block the attack for a Combo Breaker.

But this was countered by Haizaki.

"C-C-C-Counter Breaker!"

"Shouldn't have did that! Because now, I got the chance to finish you off!"

Jotaro's health was approaching the danger state. Not there yet, but getting very close.

After about 10 more hits, "DANGER" was heard as Haizaki used his second shadow bar to extend the combo and go for the kill, until he was suddenly stuck in place.

"Uh oh. I know what this." Toxsa said. Everything but Jotaro was stuck in place. And the Stand User wasted no time in mounting his counterattack. About five seconds later, time resumed, giving Haizaki the chance to break the combo. The second he saw Jotaro going a route in his combo that he saw before, he immediately tried to counter. While the timing was perfect, he still guessed wrong.

"Lockout!"

"What? But that was the right attack!"

"Right attack. Wrong strength. You chose the weaker version with less punches like I used to do before. I did the strongest one with the most this time."

"Tch. You know what? I know what he's trying to do. He's trying to bait me! And he almost did. Not falling for it. Not like this combo will matter. Once he finishes, and he's going to have to eventually, I'll be able to finish off the last bit of life he's got left." Haizaki thought, no longer going to try to combo break out of it and would just wait for him to finish.

The hits piled up, but none of them so far have been able to put Hiazaki in the danger zone. Jotaro even tried using the one Shadow bar he built up from the combo to enhance the damage, but it still wasn't doing him much good in making a big dent.

"He's slowing down. Looks like he's realizing it too."

*The ending of Inferno would play here as it's the Danger theme*

Though even though the hits slowed, they were still coming. And Haizaki was starting to get impatient.

"Come on! Hurry it up already!"

Even so, Jotaro was still taking his time.

And about a couple of minutes later, he was still finding combo routes to hit him. And about two more minutes later, Haizaki's health was dwindling.

"This crazy a*s motherf*cker! He's actually gonna try to kill me with one combo! No way. I'm stoppin' it!"

He tried to stop the combo but it was easily countered by Jotaro.

"C-C-C-Counter Breaker!"

"A little late to be trying to do that now, don't you think? Oh I see. You realized I wasn't about to quit and you're close to losing. If you would have tried to stop me earlier and not given up after one failed attempt you might have been able to catch me. But now, because I have to make sure I get the timing right, I've got to go slower, making it easier to see you trying to break out…"

….

….."Too little, too late." Jotaro said as a few seconds later, Haizaki's health was removed. But Jotaro's combo still continued with it eventually ending in a series of rapid punches.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA-"

The punching continued as the announcer yelled out

"ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Once everyone had snapped out of their state of shock, Urien was the first to say something.

"That fool! He had multiple times to try to stop him but he didn't!" Urien said.

"Ironic when you couldn't even be bothered to tag me in." Karin said to him.

"I didn't expect them to do what they did. What happened to him was fully preventable."

She could only sigh, knowing that it would be impossible to argue with him.

"I just wanna know, how many hits was that?" Haizaki asked as they got out of the game.

"Enough to cost us the game." Randy said, clearly upset with Haizaki. "You didn't even call on my help once!"

"Let's not blow our stacks here. Sure they caught up but we've still got just as much of a shot." Diego said confidently.

The next game was Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

It would be a 5-on-5 tag match between Isagi, Octavia, Ben, Jotaro and Sebastian against Launch, Kunigami, Asta, Kageyama and Julie. Isagi was Yajirobe, Octavia was Cooler(Final Form), Ben was in his Saiyan form Tenn-Zenn, Jotaro was Hit, Sebastian was Zarbon. Launch was herself, Kunigami was Bardock, Asta was Trunks(Sword), Kageyama was Dr. Gero and Julie was Salza. The modifiers gave each team three assists, the Kings Hercule, Roshi and Vegeta and the Breakers Tien, Piccolo and Future Trunks(No Sword).

The only other modifiers given to them was a capsule item for each that could be used at any point in the match and "Legacy", which would have them occasionally switch between games within the same franchise, in this case being Dragon Ball.

The match was preparing to start as the game loaded.

As Gohan was seen pulling out Z-Swords on the loading screen, a fun fact appeared.

Did You Know?

The Dragon Ball Video Game What-If stories have a long-standing history, years prior to even Budokai 1 in 2003, the first game to ever include the English VAs, which included storylines like Krillin sacrificing himself and being absorbed by Cell instead of Android 18 and The Legend of Hercule story. 1992's Legend of the Super Saiyan, only released in Japan on the SNES, was one of the first to do this by allowing Tien, Yamcha and the other Z-Fighters to follow Goku to Namek simply by just not allowing them to die against Nappa, Vegeta and the Saibamen along with other unique scenarios. And even then, these games are a rerelease of a trilogy of NES games, the first released in 1990, the rerelease combining the sagas of all three into one game. While these are pretty simple compared to later games, these simple beginnings paved the way for games of the present like Xenoverse and even Sparking Zero, with the latter allowing players to create their own what-if stories and share them for others to enjoy online!

A/N: Considering how some fanfics are, I'm sure you can imagine what would happen when people get the power to make their own stories in the game lol. If you can't…. the videos are out there, for those that don't own the game. Or play games. That's all I'll say…..

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Soundtrack – Shootout in Meteor Plays

The game had finished loading. They were on Mountain Road. Which was well….. a road on a mountain. In the distance, a small area with pine trees could be seen. On the road also was a truck. All of this was shown off by the in-game camera before it cut to the starting two fighters, Isagi, as Yajirobe and Launch.

"I know this guy's probably low-tier, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try!" Isagi said, reaching for the katana.

"Okay. I'll give it my best shot!" Good Launch said, getting into a fighting stance.

"Are you ready?" Videl, the announcer for this match started. "Fight!"

Both of their healthbars were revealed along with miniature health bars of the next person available that they could tag in, though this was cyclable. Yajirobe had four bars while Launch had three.

Isagi immediately began to try to charge his Ki. But Launch had shot at him. Even though she didn't have any energy charged, this was still able to work because she didn't use ki to shoot. The bullets only did a slight amount of damage, but Isagi was still annoyed, so he decided to create some distance between them, quickly dashing away before getting a chance to charge his energy, which was only for a few seconds as Launch hit him again.

"Would you stop that!?" Isagi said, annoyed before deciding to use an assist. "Vegeta!"

"If that's what you want…." Vegeta said, teleporting in before performing a galick gun. It wasn't able to connect as she dashed away from it, but it did give a good enough distraction to allow Isagi to actually charge his energy this time. Vegeta scoffed before teleporting out.

He dashed in to attack as Launch was trying to charge her own Ki. The starter dash-in rush attack was blocked. She tried to grab him but he broke it away.

He moved back a bit before he attempted a Super Attack, Flash and Kill. Once he dashed in and made contact, he was knocked back due to Launch blocking it, but she lost almost all of the Ki she had charged in the process. Meanwhile, the energy that Isagi used was only halved because the attack didn't connect.

"Trunks!" Launch called out.

"Right!" Trunks said before performing a burning attack, with it hitting Isagi, even with him being on the ground. "Later!" He teleports out as well.

Isagi does a quicker Dragon Dash forward at her and charges up a slice with her guarding. The side slice broke her guard and left her in an exhausted state, unable to move because her guard was broken without having enough ki. Seeing this opening, Isagi immediately capitalized by charging his energy and quickly doing a Flash and Kill. And this time, it was able to land with Isagi sending her flying upwards before finishing waiting until the right time as she fell for a perfect second slice to the middle of her body. Although the damage was reflected on her health, it was seen on her body as she was completely fine. But she was still exhausted as the Rush Attack prevented her from recovering energy.

Seeing this, Isagi decided to tag out with Jotaro/Hit.

"Alright, you can take it from here!" Isagi said before flying off into the air. Jotaro teleported in.

"Looks like it's my turn." Jotaro said.

Approaching Launch while she was still on the ground, recovering her Ki, he grabs one of her legs to send her flying before using one of his Super Attacks, Time-Skip/Jump Spike. Dashing in to pursue after her, he was able to connect with it before hitting her in the gut. He then hit her with a series of punches so fast that it was hard for even the camera to keep up with them. Afterwards, he was suddenly behind her before finishing it off with a punch from behind to send her flying. This attack was enough to bring her down to less than half of her second bar of health, as reflected by the yellow health bar that she was now on.

A couple of seconds later, she as finally able to recover, now having two bars of energy. But she decided to not use them as she tagged out with Kunigami.

She took an exhausted breath before saying, "Can you take over please?" She said before inexplicably flying away.

"You should already know. I'm not going to hold back!" Kunigami, as Bardock declared after teleporting in.

But before the battle could continue, the venue was preparing to change. The game changed to FighterZ as Jotaro and Kunigami had flew in to meet each other, fist to fist as the fight had changed to a 2D plane on Planet Namek. Launch, Asta, Sebastian and Isagi were available as the two on-team assists and tag-ins, with their off-team assists still being options as well.

Dragon Ball FighterZ Soundtrack- Bardock theme Plays

Kunigami, unsurprisingly, was the first one to lead with an attack. An attack that was stopped and quickly countered by Jotaro, punching Bardock away before calling on an assist with Vegeta again who kicked forward, sending Kunigami back further even more before he teleported back out of the match.

Kunigami shot a couple of energy blasts before calling on an assist from Tien, who teleported in next to him.

"Right! Dodon Ray!"

Although Jotaro avoided the attack, this gave Kunigami the chance to start his own offense on Jotaro as he was forced to block the attacks that Kunigami threw out. Until in the middle of one of them, he teleported behind Kunigami again and hit him in the chest to send him flying.

This only angered him. But his anger caused him to tag out instead of attack, tagging out with Asta. "You take over!"

Asta, as Sword Trunks, flew in to replace him. "Alright, let's go!"

Unlike before, Jotaro was the first one to attack. Although Hit's attacks were quick, Asta didn't seem to be having a hard time blocking them. The problem for him was finding an opening to attack without getting countered like Kunigami did.

Seeing that Asta wasn't going to attack, Jotaro continued his offense and was able to get in a throw as well, using Sebastian to help with this via the Elegant Blaster energy wave.

"What's wrong? With how Yami talked about you and Noelle, he made it seem like you were good mages. But all I'm seeing is one that's scared to fight." Jotaro said to Asta.

"Scared is a pretty bold thing to say when you've seen me fight before." Asta replied.

"But this isn't before. This is now. And if you're going to use that, then what gives now?"

"It's not exactly easy to fight when I'm not even myself."

"Bulls*it kid. I'm sure he is a little different, but he's not that different for you to barely try. Or even call for help. That counter that he does has got Asta spooked to the point that he's scared to attack without fear of getting countered." Yami thought as he looked at Hit's energy meter at the bottom left that was lower than what it was when the fight first started. "Come on kid, figure it out. That counter's good but it's not invincible! Don't let it end like this!"

Asta, knowing that he had to do something, had called out for Piccolo to help him, who tried to paralyze Jotaro, but this was easily blocked. Literally a second later, Asta went for an overhead that was blocked and countered easily, but not with a punch, with an entire combo, using Hercule as an assist, who jumped in to perform a punch without even looking, bouncing Asta into a wall, which allowed for Jotaro to continue the combo, finishing things off by dashing forward with an incredibly quick punch that left a purple line and using another ki bar, leaving him at a little over 2.

"D-Did it work? I'm just gonna say it did!" Hercule said before immediately leaving.

"How the heck does someone that's competing later get a chance to come here and get compensated with money anyway without getting eliminated? I get the challenge before in the World Tournament Arena since he was a champion, but this? No." Becky asked.

"That's not the real Hercule. That's a virtual one." Heloise said.

"Oh okay. That makes more sense."

"Forget Hercule, we need to talk about what Asta's doing. Or what he's not doing. I understand playing safe or conservative, but he's not even playing." Hinata said as Jotaro continued his offense with Asta being passive.

"If you're gonna be passive like that then tag out!" Piccolo said to Asta with brutal honesty when he called him for an assist. "Clearly you don't have the hunger to win!" He added before leaving a second later.

"That's easy for him to say when he's not the one dealing with this." He thought before Jotaro dashed at Asta again, with him preparing to block the attack, only to realize that he had quickly gotten behind him before he grabbed him, hit him with several rapid punches and then followed him into the air before sending him back downwards to the ground. But unlike before, Asta stayed on the ground. "I'll admit, I don't know what to do. But if I don't at least try, I'll be letting myself and my team down."

He stands up. "Alright Jotaro, you better hit me with your best from here on out! Because I'm going to be hitting you with mine!"

Jotaro only stayed in his fighting stance and the two clashed, determined to not let Asta start his offense. When Asta called for an assist, so did Jotaro, the former calling out Tien and the latter calling out Sebastian. When things returned back to neutral, Asta shot ki blasts at him, which Jotaro jumped over to dive at him and go right through him again, leaving him at a danger state.

"Not good. I'm going to have to tag out!" Asta thought. He didn't want to have to do it at that moment in time, but he also knew he had no choice as it would put his team in a hole losing one person. So he tagged out with Kunigami again.

And a few seconds later, the venue changed again. This time inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Budokai 2.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 Soundtrack- Warrior From an Unknown Land Plays

Only Hit and Bardock's health could be seen as tagging isn't an option. While Bardock's health had a little bit of green remaining, Hit had most of his remaining. Also, their energy bars were right below their health this time.

"Come on, just try to hit me with what you did against Haizaki. It won't work." Kunigami said to them as they walked slightly close to one another. After realizing that he could move from side to side, he had an idea of how where he was at now worked, likening it to Tekken.

Both started attacking each other, but Kunigami was able to get the first hit with an armored smash attack that bounced Jotaro off the ground to allow for him to follow this up with a combo that ended with both a Heat Phalanx, a fiery uppercut, and a Riot Javelin super attacks, a blue energy sphere charged with one hand before thrown forward. Notably, a capsule sound was also heard before he used the attacks. Afterwards, he began to charge his Ki up to 3 before having to stop as Jotaro had gotten up. The combo was able to take a majority of his green health.

Instead of keeping up his offense, Kunigami put up his fists to guard, wary of the counter, which allowed for Jotaro to grab him, with the former failing to escape it and getting popped up for it. He followed this up with three punches and a quick energy ball sent from his fists called Assassin's Art.

"Is that it?" Kunigami said, quickly bouncing back to his feet, now in yellow health. One bar away from being at the danger level, which was his last bar.

"I wouldn't talk so tough when you're down!" Jotaro said as a capsule sound was suddenly heard when he got into a stance.

"Not anymore!" Kunigami said, cancelling his charged kick, completely tricking him and leaving him wide open and hitting him with a few hits that led to a Piccolo assist that paralyzed him allowing Kunigami to do the same attacks again before leading to a Rebellion Rush. This attack was a rush of several punches in rapid succession before ending in a smash to the ground. This combo was able to bring Jotaro down to around his level of health.

"It's not over yet!" Jotaro said, getting up. Both of them attacked each other with charged attacks at the same time, causing them to get into a clash minigame, where they rapidly exchanged punches and kicks.

"I can't believe he actually turned it around…." Lanolin commented.

"Well I can! Let's go Kunigami!" Kaz cheered as the punch and kick exchange continued until Kunigami was the one being put on the defense, force to block more until he eventually lost the exchange, being smashed to the ground. Jotaro began to charge Ki, with Kunigami doing the same thing when he woke up until they were both at Max.

Jotaro threw out two punches and two kicks that were blocked with Kunigami throwing out a punch and then an axe kick that was also blocked. Both of them tried to grab each other at the same time, causing an automatic throw escape.

Another capsule sound was heard the second he saw Kunigami attack and put fire into his hands. Along with a second one right after. Seeing him continuing to charge it makes Jotaro believe that he's got him. But he actually didn't. Kunigami delayed the attack by a bit to make sure it hit late to avoid the counter and popping him up right when he was open. After hitting him with a couple of attacks, he did a Heat Phalanx a second time before doing the same combo again for the third time before ending it with his Ultimate Attack, Spirit of the Saiyans. He charged energy in his hand.

"You're finished!" Kunigami declared before finishing charging it. He then flew at him and punched him in the gut before kicking him upwards, then allowing him to fall back down to the ground before pursuing him.

"GO TO HELL!" Once the punch connected with Jotaro and the ground, an explosion of blue energy was seen.

"K.O.!"

Although the game wasn't over, Jotaro was done.

The fight transitioned to an island in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 1.

Now, up to 3 on a team were allowed to fight in tag battles here.

Sebastian, Isagi and Octavia would be the three for the Kings, while Kuigami, Asta and Kageyama would be the three for the Breakers.

Kunigami's health carried over exactly from the last fight to this one.

The fighting quickly resumed and was easily a lot more fast paced, perhaps even moreso than FighterZ.

"Take this!" Kunigami said, seeing an opening and throwing a Riot Javelin. But it missed when Sebastian tagged himself out for Octavia, with her flying in and punching him in the face hard, sending him to the ground before using the Death Beam, a purple finger beam that connected as an explosion was heard, sending him to critical health.

"HAAAAAAA!" Octavia was heard yelling, charging her energy back to max.

"Trunks!" Kunigami called out as he was flying towards her, with said warrior coming in to assist him with a Burning Attack. She was able to fly around it, but not around the rush that Kunigami had in store, hitting her with several attacks before kicking her in the gut and calling out Tien before charging up his own energy blast to her face.

"Tri-Beam!" Tien called out as both connected, dealing a great amount of damage. Almost half of her health was gone in that one hit. But that wouldn't discourage her one bit. Or make her tag out. Instead, she continued to fight him, exchanging punches and kicks with him along with energy blasts when they got far enough, from the ground and from the air. She tried for a hook, but he was able to move to the side to dodge.

"That all you got!?" Kunigami said before hitting her with the same combo as before, leaving her at low health.

"I'm… not finished…. Yet." Octavia said, putting the team assists to use, this time choosing to use Hercule again.

"Alright, here goes!" Hercule said before rolling and then performing a dynamite kick that missed badly as Kunigami was able to easily dodge it. But he wasn't able to dodge or block the slices that Octavia did, forming an energy blade from one of her hands known as the Sauzer Blade.

"Heh. Got ya. Now take this chump!" Hercule said low before shooting a rocket launcher at Kunigami from behind, which was strong enough to knock him out.

"WHAAAAT!?" He yelled out in disbelief before falling to the ground.

Octavia immediately tried to tag out but couldn't as the next game and stage was incoming. This time it was Super Butoden 2 on a Glacier.

Only Octavia and Asta were present, who thanks to tagging out, was able to recover a bit of health. Not all, but any little bit could make a difference.

"Well, this is not good….." Octavia said, realizing there was no option to tag out. Along with also realizing that she said this in Japanese.

"Huh? I don't know what you're…. oh." Asta said, also realizing that he was speaking a different language as well.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2 Trunks Theme Plays

Considering the fact that neither of them could understand each other, there wasn't much of a reason for them to say anything to one another. Though it wouldn't be like they'd remember that.

"Don't think this means I'll quit!" Octavia said to Asta after he grabbed and sliced at her a few times, leaving her at only a bit of health.

"I don't know what you said but…. come on!" Asta said, sword in hand as they dashed at each other, with Roshi being called out for an assist at the last second, picking Asta up with his Lightning Surprise attack and holding him there.

"Ugh….. can't… move!" Asta said, unable to escape.

"TAKE…. THIS!" Octavia said, using up all of the energy she had for a Supernova, a large orange energy ball.

"A supernova? Oh he's done." Aomine said.

The ball connected and did a large amount of damage with Octavia breathing a sigh of relief.

"Don't think it's over yet!" Asta said, getting back up. All of his health was gone. But, he was still standing.

Both began to charge their energy before Asta was the first to unleash an attack.

"Finish Buster!"

Octavia didn't have enough to do an Ultimate again. But what she could do was a Death Beam.

Both attacks collided. But neither dissipated.

"Wait a sec, there's beam struggles in this game!?" Kagami commented, surprised.

"It's DBZ? Why are you surprised?" Aomine said.

"On something old like this? I didn't think it could handle it."

"I…. can't… give up!" Octavia said, knowing the odds didn't favor her to win this struggle. Her extra effort and will was what pushed it back at Asta.

"Come on kid! Don't tell me you're gonna lose to that!?" Yami yelled out.

"You do know he can't hear you right?" Tsukishima said in a deadpan tone.

"Keep comin' at me with that smarta[censored] mouth and I'll make sure you can't hear anything else!" Yami threatened. "And I don't care! I just know that he better not go out like this! Because if he does, I'm gonna kick his a[censored] personally!"

"Sorry Octavia. But you had your time. I can't go out. Not like this. Not yet!" He used the rest of the energy that he had to slowly push things back to the middle.

"My team was able to get us back into this game. I….. have to-" Octavia didn't even get a chance to finish as the Finish Buster had quickly overwhelmed her, with her yelling from the explosion.

She was on the ground, defeated as Asta stood still, taking a breathe of relief as he put the sword away.

"That was a close one…."

The games transitioned again, this time to Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, where Ben tagged in with Asta immediately tagging out. They were seen on the World Tournament Arena.

"Please, switch with me!" Asta said before disappearing.

He had switched with Julie, who was Salza.

"Alright! My turn!" Julie exclaimed, excited.

"You get some good rest Asta. I'll take care of the rest!" Julie thought.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi Soundtrack – Power Evolution Plays

Both were in the center of the arena, with Julie deciding to use an Ultimate Attack, Salza Blade Rush and dashing at him.

"Come on an ultimate at the start? Really!?" Ben commented as he was given choices for how to react to the attack. To either attempt to time a dodge, counter or block the attack, from what used the most Spirit to the least.

Considering what happened before when Yulaw tried to block a rush attack, he wasn't about to take any chances and chose to take the gamble and counter, flying back at her.

An exchange of punches and kicks occurred after they collided with each other.

"Alright, be honest, did you have fighting each other like it's a Dragon Ball Z Episode on your checklist when you got here?" Ben asked her as they continued to exchange punches and kicks similar to what Jotaro and Kunigami did earlier, though there were a lot more effects compared to then including vibrations as their punches and kicks collided or were blocked. A bar was at the bottom for the spectators to see who was winning the tug of war.

"Ben, let's be real. A good bit of the 43 episodes we've been in a good bit of the people here didn't expect to be doing, whether they say it out loud or not. Heck, the audience probably didn't expect some of these either." She replied.

"Hey, it's true." Tangle admitted.

The two kept exchanging blows until Ben was able to win. It was a very small margin, but it was just enough for it to not be considered a tie.

He flew back at her and countered with his own Ultimate Attack, Omni-Barrage.

He flew at her before hitting her with a barrage of punches and kicks, using a myriad of aliens, including hitting Julie with a lightning quick bicycle kick from XLR8 before changing into Humungosaur and throwing her into the air. He didn't even try to pursue her. Instead, he changed into Way Big and caught her with a mighty clap of his hands before throwing her down to the ground and then changing back into Tenn-Zenn.

"Ka…Me…..Ha…..Me…..." Julie, getting up, quickly flies to stop him. "HAAAAAA!" Instead of firing the beam forwards, he uses it to propel himself and hit Julie, knocking her down again.

"Take this!" He sends a green energy ball that he charged down at her, which caused an explosion.

When everything was said and done she was already at yellow health as seen by the two-star dragon ball by her name.

Because of the distance they were at, the only thing they could do was shoot energy blasts at each other. Which was hard to do because of the bad angle they were in.

So, it was Julie who decided to use some of her ki to get up close. Now ben had to guess what way she was coming, left or right.

Ben chose left. Julie chose right, so the latter was able to kick him away. Now both were in melee range. Julie sidestepped Ben's attack and was able to get him into a combo. Now they were in for another clash. Ben had to guess whether she was going to go for an assault chain attack or a knockback chain attack. Both of them chose a knockback attack and he was able to hit her with a ki blast cannon and cause a bit of damage.

Unfortunately he wouldn't get the chance to try to attack back as she immediately flew back to fire several ki blasts, something else that he had to guess the direction of. And in this case, he was able to guess right and send a green energy wave back at her, dealing additional damage. He immediately followed this up by sending ki blasts at her. Once several of them coinnected, he instantly teleported in front of her. Now it was her turn to guess. And she also was able to guess right on an assault chain attack, swaying back to avoid the kicks and hit him across the face with a hook.

Both of them circled around for a bit before Julie backflipped to try to avoid a charged attack. But it wasn't far enough as he was still able to catch her with it. Now she had to recover from the attack. After a couple of teleporting knockback pursuits, she was able to recover at the last second on the third and teleport behind him before he did the same to counter the counter. She teleported behind again, with Ben countering this teleport as well. This continued a few more times before Julie was ultimately able to win as they were back in melee range.

Timing her attacks as Ben was trying to sidestep, Julie forced Ben to have guess again, and this time she was able to win the clash.

"Dude, is this all this game is? Glorified rock, paper, scissors? Lame." Toxsa said.

"Looks like it." Rally said as these mini-game quick-time-events continued throughout the match.

"For a game that looks this good, you'd think they'd be more imaginative. Having that be all they do is kinda uninspired compared to the other ones." May commented. "Even some of the normal attacks they do pretty much look the same."

A montage of some of the moments of the fight was shown, with one of the key moments being Julie landing a Salza Blade Rush, starting to mount a comeback. Because of how the guessing worked in the game, assists weren't too effective here. But Ben ended it before it became too close like what happened in the last battle between Octavia and Asta, dodging a Scattered Finger Beam attack, was able to counter with his own Full-Power Energy Wave and win.

"Phew. Just glad that's over." Ben said as the next game was incoming. This one being Super Butoden 1 in a grassy area.

His opponent: Kageyama, who was Dr. Gero.

"Don't think this'll be an easy win." Kageyama said to him Japanese.

"Great. This is the Octavia situation all over again. Just with slightly higher health." Ben said.

Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden Dr. Gero Theme Plays

(No clue where there are no extended versions of this theme so just loop it I guess)

Kageyama dashed forward, not wanting to let him gather energy. As he did, he called on an assist from Future Trunks who prepared to do a burning attack. Knowing that Ben was going to try to block or avoid the attack, he quickly got behind him, surprising Ben just as the Burning attack came, making it impossible for him to block both the burning attack and the chop that Kageyama was about to do. So he blocked the burning attack and took the chop, which knocked him down. As soon as he got up, Kageyama continued to attack him with the same cross-up.

"Great. He's found something Ben literally can't do anything to stop." Maki commented. "A case of damned if you do, damned if you don't."

"Wait. I think you spoke too soon." Dewey said as Ben took to the skies, using his energy to charge a Kamehameha.

"No wait! Don't do that!" Aomine yelled out.

"He can't-" Tsukishima started before stopping himself. "Why do I even bother?"

But it was too late. When the beam got to him, it dissipated.

Ben blinked in disbelief.

"Android energy absorption. Guys like Gero and 19 can absorb energy. And that includes energy blasts. So using that against them is a gamble. One that you'll most likely lose." Kagami explained.

Using the energy that was automatically regenerated for him, Kageyama shot his own energy blast back, the Photon Wave.

"It's over!" Kageyama said, firing it and completely ignoring the Vegeta assist that Ben tried as it was ineffective.

Ben tried to brace himself for the blast and block it, but it didn't do him any good. The block damage was still enough to knock him out.

"Alright. Two more to go." He said as they changed games and venues again. This time in a ruined city in Budokai 3 in the Plains. Windmills and a few houses could be seen in the background.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 Soundtrack- The Greatest Tactics in the Universe Plays

Sebastian shot a couple of projectiles at him to start the match. Which he absorbed and added to his own energy and immediately teleported behind him instead of absorbing the last Ki blast and attempted to kick him to start a back combo. But Sebastian countered with his own back teleport, with Kageyama doing the same thing.

This continued until Kageyama was the first to run out of ki and be unable to counter teleport again, allowing Sebastian free reign to hit him from behind before ending it with a grab from behind as a capsule was heard, indicating that this grab was a super attack, Missing Screw. "Looks like your ability to absorb projectiles will make things quite difficult for ranged attacks. It's a good thing that I don't need them to be effective." Sebastian said before he spun like a tornado before slamming Kageyama into the ground, causing slight damage.

"Well, it's gonna take a lot more than that." Kageyama said before realizing he was speaking English again. "Hey, I'm speaking English again? What gives?"

He was also given the ability to charge his ki as well, something that both of them did, with Sebastian reaching MAX. Immediately after, he transformed into Zarbon's second monstrous form.

"A surprisingly ugly form. But, it will serve its purpose."

Kageyama dashed at him. The second he got close, he activated hyper mode. "Here goes!"

When the activation finished, he glowed red. Sebastian attempted to attack him but Kageyama completely ignored the attacks as Hyper Mode gave him armor, allowing him to send Sebastian flying as a Dragon Rush mini-game had started.

"Oh great. This again?" Todd commented. Guessing wrong out of the four choices between square, triangle, X and O, Kageyama was able to kick him higher into the air before preparing to pursue him again. Kageyama's choice, O, was eliminated and now there were two choices remaining. This time, once Kageyama flew to him, Sebastian was able to stop the attack, with both choosing triangle. They began to exchange punches and kicks rapidly before returned to the ground.

A capsule sound was heard, indicating that a Super Move was activated.

"Photon Wave!" Kageyama called out, sending out an energy wave. This was sidestepped by Sebastian.

Sebastian dashed towards him with Kageyama activating Hyper Mode again. He tried to do a charged attack but Sebastian quickly did his own to intercept. The two were now in the same battle of punches and kicks that Kunigami and Jotaro were in. Though this time, Sebastian was able to win, knocking him back.

"Now it's my turn." Sebastian said as he was entering Hyper Mode.

Kageyama dashed forward for another charged attack, but this was sidestepped with Sebastian immediately going for a grab as a capsule activation was heard. Though this time, it was an Ultimate, Monster Crush.

He punched Kageyama in the stomach hard, knocking the wind out of him. He then grabbed onto Kageyama's head before headbutting him multiple times. After that, he hit him with multiple hooks and then slapped him numerous times before locking his arms behind his back. "Don't worry, it's almost over." He then started to fly high up in the air before making a loop back downwards at a high speed, dropping Kageyama off after a couple of seconds. But the drop-off was anything but gentle as he was still going at a very high speed, falling to the ground hard.

The attack was able to take off an entire bar of health and a bit of change, leaving him at about less than half yellow health.

Kageyama, after a few seconds, stood up and shook his head regaining his bearings, immediately charging his energy as he realized it was low. Sebastian did the same thing with Kageyama calling on Tien to stop him.

"You got it! Blast cannon!" Tien called out, the attacking forcing Sebastian to stop and dodge it. Anticipating this, Kageyama used a Photon Wave. He wasn't going to be fast enough to sidestep the Photon Wave, so he had no choice but to block it. He could have also teleported, but that would have put him at risk of being counter teleported with no answer for it.

They flew at each other again, with both patiently awaiting to see the other's move.

When Kageyama tried to uppercut him, Sebastian quickly ducked it and immediately countered with a grab that sent him to the ground again.

"Okay. I'm really getting sick of you doing that." Kageyama said, getting up.

"Well, it is appearing to be effective." Sebastian said as they got in a rapid exchange of punches and kicks again.

"And so is this!" Kageyama said, smashing him across the ground after winning the exchange.

He then entered Hyper Mode again. Seeing that Sebastian was willing to stand and block than use his own Hyper Mode or attack, he tried an Ultimate. Sebastian sidestepped it, but it was early. Kageyama couldn't see it and had already stopped it when he saw the side-step. Unfortunately, the attempt would still take the energy away from him. Knowing that his energy was low, he tried to go for a grab but Sebastian escaped it. And a smash, which Sebastian was completely unaffected by when he activated Hyper Mode. A couple of seconds later, Kageyama had run out of energy and was taken out of Hyper Mode, exhausted and unable to move.

"This is…. bad…." Kageyama said, trying to hurry and recover. But it was too late. Sebastian had already grabbed him and used another Monster Crush, which would do enough damage to knock him out.

"Like I said. Very effective." Sebastian remarked.

Next was Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero in the Land of the Kais.

"This isn't good. Only Launch and Asta is left and the latter is hurt from all the damage he took against Jotaro and Octavia." Myron said.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero OST- Survivor Plays

Launch was brought out to fight next for her team. Compared to Launch, Sebastian had most of his third bar of health still remaining versus Launch's full two, the second one being refilled from tagging out.

She immediately started off with a Super Attack, Eat Machine Gun!, which used two bars of the full five she had. Which did exactly like it sounded. She pulled out a machine gun and started to fire it at Sebastian relentlessly.

"Take this!"

All of the bullets were blocked by Sebastian, however.

Sebastian attempted to fire back at her but she was able to get around it before she used two more bars for the Machine Gun super again, this time, the attack hitting the mark, taking a little over a quarter of his health and knocking him down.

She then used one of her signature Blast 1 skills, which allowed her to get a capsule, using two stocks as seen by the number by her portrait changing from a full 4 to 2. This capsule gave her a temporary attack and ki power boost.

She dashed up to him. While she was by no means a fighter, she knew she would have to at least try as using nothing but ranged attacks, especially in an environment like this, would make her too one-dimensional.

And to her surprise, they were actually pretty effective as the charge punch she delivered sent him flying.

"Wait. Of course! This is a game!" Launch realized before getting more confident in her fighting skill and charged her energy a bit before taking Sebastian head-on.

Sebastian was the first to throw out a couple of melee rush attacks, with Launch getting into a countering stance to counter the third. Except the third was a charged smash that couldn't be countered that way, leaving her wide open to take all of the damage before he teleported behind her and sent her flying in another direction and then following this up with an Elegant Blaster super attack, which was an orange ball of energy that became an energy wave that Sebastian fired out of the palm of one hand, the other supporting it before firing it at her. The blast would do over a third of a health bar worth of damage. Couple that with the charged attacks and she was already in serious danger of being knocked out. Bruises were seen all over her body just from that damage alone.

"Not yet! If Asta tags in now, he won't have enough left to win!" She thought. "I could use an Ulti- wait!" She remembered the capsule she used earlier. And the capsule that was given to them at the beginning of the match. She takes it out and quickly throws it to reveal the items, which was revealed to have been a Metamoran vest and remotes that had Tien, Trunks and Piccolo on them.

"I don't know what this is but please let it be something good!" She hurries and presses the button with Tien before Sebastian, who was now in MAX POWER/Sparking mode, had gotten to her to use an Ultimate. The match was suddenly put to a halt as Tien landed, with Sebastian only raising an eyebrow. "Tien!"

"You're hurt pretty bad…." Tien said before seeing someone else incoming in the distance, that someone being Yamcha.

"Yamcha? What are you doing here?" Launch asked.

"I was just about to ask the same question."

"Some guy said you and Launch needed me so I came over. I honestly thought you guys were in some real trouble." Yamcha answered, in his white and black martial arts outfit.

"Well, it's not real trouble but….. we're glad you're here."

"Well, this is….. interesting." Sebastian commented.

A paper had fallen out of the vest. Launch picked it up. "Whoever you have chosen can fuse with another warrior to greatly increase their strength." She read.

"Fusion!?" Several people spectating, including Tien and Yamcha said in surprise and/or disbelief.

"Wait a second. If I'm here, and so are you, then that means…." Yamcha said, connecting the dots.

"Yeah. We've got to fuse." Tien said.

"Fusion huh? This is gonna be interesting."

"Yeah. Only Goku and Vegeta and Trunks and Goten have done it if I recall. The fusion dance anyway."

"You think we'll be as strong as them if we do it?'

"I seriously doubt it."

"Well hey, you never know until you try man. You know how it goes, right?"

"Not confidently enough to say we'll get it right. I heard that if you make a mistake, even a tiny one, the results could be disastrous."

Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1/Budokai Tenkaichi 1 Soundtrack – Like a Burning Wind Plays

"I'm cool with takin' that risk for something like this. The reward is definitely worth it. Besides, it's not like we have a choice. We gotta do it. That's literally why I'm here."

"True. Alright. Let's go!"

Both got some distance from each other before they prepared to do the Metamoran Fusion dance.

"FUUUUU-" Both said simultaneously.

"-SION!"

"HAAAAAA!"

Both put the tips of their index fingers on one another before a bright light was seen. When everyone uncovered their eyes after the bright light appeared, a completely new warrior appeared. He wore a blue Metamoran vest, a green sash and white silky pants along with black shoes. His hair style was a mix of Tien's baldness on the front with Yamcha's spiky hair on the back. Tien's third eye is seen but turned upside down and Yamcha's scars are present on his face. He was emanating white aura, eyes closed before he slowly looked up, with Launch looking overjoyed that it worked. He then opened his eyes.

"So, I guess you thought taking on Launch would be an easy win. Well, let's see how well you fare…. Against the might of both the Turtle and Crane disciplines! All in one body! Call us….. Tiencha!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Tiencha yelled as he charged his energy, preparing to fight. Both the voices of Tien and Yamcha were combined. "Launch, we'll take care of this guy. You can take it easy."

"Oh. A-Alright! Be careful you two!"

"And Launch…."

"Hmm?"

"When this is over, you and your team's gonna have another win on the record!"

Launch was overjoyed to hear this admission before she flew off.

"Good luck Tien. And thank you." She said, cheeks red.

"Quite the confidence you have. I suppose it's time we find out if you can back it up." Sebastian said to him as they returned to the center of the area.

"I got more than enough power to do that pal. Now put em up!" Tiencha said, now in a fighting stance. For his health, he had four bars.

"Fusion? That's cheating! That's four free bars of health!" Todd complained as Tiencha and Sebastian collided, completely disappearing from sight of any of the spectators as only vibrations were seen to show they were hitting each other.

"Not cheating when you guys literally have an item to use too." Reagan replied.

"But what if it stinks?"

"Still not cheating."

"Besides, those fusions have time limits. So if they can't finish this quick enough, none of this will matter." Kagami said as Tiencha was seen winning the exchange. "Still though. Never in a million years would I have thought Yamcha and Tien would actually fuse. At most, maybe a joke or something about it. But not this. And it actually look like it's got a bit of power too."

Sebastian teleported around a charged kick before grabbing him and throwing him to the ground.

About a second later, he charged at him to use the Wild Pressure super attack. And despite him wanting to block it, he couldn't get up fast enough to do so.

Sebastian knocked him into the air before chasing after him with a kick and then grabbing onto his head and headbutting him multiple times before knocking him away with his hand.

Afterwards, he used one of the four blasts stocks he accumulated on a signature blast 1 move, False Courage. His defenses are increased and he can't flinch from any attack, including charged ones.

"Not bad." Tiencha said, recovering mid-air before dashing at him, speeding himself up seconds later with a Dragon Dash. He attempted to hit him with a downward hit but Sebastian was able to dodge the attack by timing a teleport around it. When Sebastian tried to grab him, Tiencha broke away from it.

"No way!" Tiencha said as he knocked the hand away.

Both of their melee attacks cancelled each other out with the two teleporting at the same time as well. Tiencha moved back a bit to perform a Super Attack, but he was stopped by Sebastian with a couple of ki blasts. So Tiencha charged a smash attack that turned into him suddenly teleporting in front of Sebastian so fast that it caught him off guard. Thankfully for him, False Courage was still active so he wasn't knocked back. The second he tried to attack back, Tiencha was able to flawlessly dodge all of the attacks, swaying to avoid all of them before attacking back with his own, that still wouldn't make him flinch. Because of the opening, Sebastian was able to connect with a charged smash attack and pursue him.

After the second knockback, Tiencha was able to recover. He was about to be down to two bars of health, having only a sliver of the third bar left.

"If he's so strong why is he struggling so much against Sebastian?" Noelle asked.

"It's because he's not flinching. Sure he's taking damage, but it doesn't matter when you can't flinch from it unless it's a heck of a lot of it that'll kill. So as long as he has the ability to do that, he can pretty much do whatever he wants." Yami said as Sebastian was able to ignore a point blank Dodonhameha and sent him away again before charging his energy to MAX POWER/Sparking Mode.

A few seconds later, False Courage had worn off.

Sebastian quickly dashed behind Tiencha in an instant, preparing to grab him for a Monster Crush Ultimate.

"Yeah right! Solar Flare!" Tiencha said, using a Blast 1 stock to do this, blinding Sebastian with the former instantly knocking the latter away.

"Splendid." Sebastian said sarcastically, unable to find him as he looked around. And because of his transformation destroying his Scouter, he'd be unable to lock on to him that way.

"Now you're gonna get it!" Tiencha declared, using three more Blast Stocks for Power Up to the Very Limit, instantly giving him MAX Power/Sparking Mode and giving him a boost to all of his stats for as long as he stayed in the mode. "Alright, no more foolin' around." He dashed at Sebastian before immediately using his Ultimate Attack, Tri-Ball and dashing at Sebastian again. Because he still couldn't find the fused pair, the attack was able to connect easily.

Tiencha first hit him with multiple hits in the chest with Tien's Machinegun Punch multiple times before grabbing him by the leg and tossing him to the ground.

Tiencha, above him, puts his hands together as if he was preparing to do a Tri-Beam focusing on the area that Sebastian was at. "Let's end this!" Yellow electricity began to come from his hands before he drew one of his hands back as a large ball ball was beginning to form.

"Spirit…..Tri…..Ball!" He sent the attack at Sebastian, but it was dodged, with him jumping over it at the last second.

But Tiencha only smirked. "Sorry, but that's not gonna work!" He used two fingers on his right hand to redirect the blast upwards at Sebastian, sending him back down to the ground.

"Now check this out!" Tiencha then multiplied himself, using Tien's Multi-Form technique to split himself into eight versions of himself as they all prepared to do the same move as the original. And this was all without the fear of power drop-off. Like Cell, the Fusion allowed him to multiply without splitting up his power by the number of clones he creates. But unlike him, he could also create double the amount, up from four to eight.

"Feel the pride of the Turtle and the Crane Schools!" All eight said simultaneously.

All of the clones began to charge Tri-Balls like the original.

"You can forget about getting away from this one! Hits like a tri-beam, moves like a Spirit Ball!" Despite the declaration, Sebastian still tried to get away. But it was useless as he was able to knock him back down again before they all connected, creating an explosion. They then prepared a final Neo Tri-Beam. "IT'S OVER! HAAAAA!" All eight said, sending the attacks at him before an even larger explosion was seen.

The attack had taken the rest of Sebastian's health in one hit, causing over two bars worth of damage.

After the knockout, the next game was incoming, this one being Raging Blast 2. The venue changed to Kami's Lookout.

"So it's up to me now. Alright, come on!" Isagi said to Tiencha.

"Let's see what you got kid!" Tiencha said. Both of them started off with close ranged attacks, which was a good think for Isagi as his range was incredibly limited compared to Tiencha's. In fact, what would usually be uncharged Ki blasts was replaced by him throwing rocks, the same way that Launch would shoot instead of using Ki blasts. But unlike the guns, that actually would do some type of damage, the rocks would do next to nothing.

Using his signature skill, Isagi was able to parry an attack from Tiencha and knock him back before using a Ka-Blam Slicer dealing a small chunk of damage and leaving him close to being at low health.

Breaking Isagi's guard after doing a perfectly timed instant-teleport smash attack, Tiencha prepared to charge at him. "Try this!" Tiencha said, preparing to use a Wolf Fang Volleyball Fist.

"Okay….. Wolf Fang…." He started, hitting him with the beginning flurry of the Wolf Fang Fist to the head before knocking him down towards the ground. But before he could hit it, Tiencha was able to dash fast enough to get under him and pop him up like a volleyball set. "Volleyball….." He then spiked down to the ground with a wolf-clawed attack. "Fist!"

"How'd you like-"

Both of them split apart. "-that?" Both said as if they were still together, until they realized their power had decreased. They looked at themselves and then each other and realized that they had defused.

"Hey! What gives?" Yamcha said.

"I forgot. I think I remember something about a time limit. Makes sense that there'd be a trade-off for all that power." Tien said. "And to be honest, I'm exhausted. Guess that's another trade-off."

"Yeah, I'm beat too. Tch, what a buzzkill man."

"Asta, you takeover! Good luck!" Tien said as he and Yamcha flew off.

The second he tagged in, his portrait would repeatedly flash red, indicating that his health was low.

With Isagi still on the ground, Asta immediately charged an attack to send him flying and give him time to charge up his energy. But instead of going into High Tension, this game's version of MAX Power/Sparking Mode, he chose to activate Raging Soul.

"It's not over yet!" Asta said as Purple Aura began to surround him as the clouds began to darken.

He then transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Not good. Better take a Senzu Bean!" Isagi said, under the lookout after being knocked off. He takes one, which recovered all of his health. Afterwards, he dashed at him to intercept with the two rapidly exchanging punches and kicks again. But Asta was able to easily overwhelm him and win, and afterwards, quickly dash behind him before hitting him with a myriad of attacks that were too quick for Isagi to counter, with some of the hits being so quick that he disappeared, turning into vibrations that knocked Isagi around like a pinball.

"Take this!" Asta said, reappearing and using almost the last of the energy that he had left to dash at him an Ultimate, Shining Sword Attack. He kicked Isagi in the air. When he looked down, he realized that Isagi was no longer there.

"HAAAA!" Asta yelled out, making Isagi turn and realize in shock and horror that he was behind him, sword out for a slice. Slicing him right down the middle, he then continued several quick slices across Isagi's body before using his non-sword hand to hit him with a super ki-blast cannon, blowing him Isagi away. When the combo finished, it totalled out to a little under two and a half bars of health, almost killing Isagi with one combo.

"Great. Now I'm at an even worse spot! I've got no choice. I hope this item's good!" Isagi thought before using the capsule he was given.

A flash of white light was seen. When it left, they were suddenly back in Super Butoden 2 again, in a nighttime version of the World Martial Arts Tournament Arena. But instead of Yajirobe, Vegeta replaced him.

Isagi was also outside of the game, with Chris also telling him that he was going to play Vegeta, like Bennett did with Hercule. But changing games also caused Asta gain a bit of health it seemed.

When Isagi tried to call on an assist, he noticed that he couldn't do it, which allowed him to get hit.

"Wait, so the assists can be used in the game, but they can't be used when you're not in it?" Isagi said, confused.

"Forget the assists! Pay attention to the game!" Louie said to him.

"Oh. OH!" Isagi quickly turned back to the screen and realized that he wasn't blocking and it allowed him to get hit with multiple super attacks. Now he went from having a good chance of comfortably winning to being in serious danger of losing the game.

"I know it seems like you're making a good comeback, but in this case, you're not. And I'll make sure of that." Isagi thought, now completely focused on the game as both charged their energy.

"Now's my chance!" Asta said, raising his hands again for a burning attack along with using no sword Trunks to help him.

"I don't think so." Isagi said before doing a Final Flash. The projectiles collided. It was Asta's willpower v

And now they've passed us. Any more encouraging words?" Zak said to Diego sarcastically as Multiversus was chosen next. All three teams would compete.

Kings: 8

Rats: 8

Breakers: 7

"Well, luckily for you guys, you've got a chance. And, I've got a proposition. To make things more interesting, since the game is actually close with the Kings making it interesting, how about this. With all three teams competing here, we'll make this the last game. The team that wins this, wins the game. However, if you wanna continue playing like we've been doing up to now, that's fine too. So, yes or no. One last game?" Chris asked.

"He's got a point with it being close. I'm fine with it." Lanolin said.

"Fine by me." Zero said.

"Sounds fair to me." X said.

"So uh, can we agree that whoever loses this gets eliminated, right?" Louie proposed.

"Interesting. And would you still do this if that person happened to be you?" Chris said.

"Oh. Never mind. Forget I said anything. One last game's still cool though."

"Sure. Why not." Rick said.

"Long as we got a chance to win, I don't care." Aomine said.

The answer was a resounding yes from the cast.

"Alright! You heard it here! One more game to decide it!" Chris said as the participants were being chosen. And as this was happening, Bakura had just returned.

"Looks like I'm just in time. Who won?" He asked.

"Jotaro. Which might have not been the case if someone here would have called for help." Randy said, referring to Haizaki.

"You like puttin' the blame on others as of recently when you haven't been doin' so hot yourself. Let's see if you can change that here. 'Cause if you can't, I don't wanna hear nothin' you gotta say." He replied, referring to his name being one of the three chosen. Along with him, Octavia and Lotte were chosen.

"Well, this is it guys. Last one standing wins their team the challenge! Enjoy and have fun!" Chris said. "No fatalities here so…. no pressure!"

"That's easy for you to say….." Lotte muttered.

"Hey!" Sendo called out, causing her to turn. "Kick their a[censored]es and end this."

She nooded. "Right."

"Just look at it this way. You win, we get to play more Silent Hill later." Morty said to her. "Or something else. Since, you know….."

"Yeah well, Octavia's shutting that down. Sorry." Isagi said.

"No promises. But, I'll do my best." Octavia replied.

"And what are we? Chopped liver?" Randy said.

"The team that's last place and had one of their teammates get hit like a million times in one combo." Aomine said.

"Not for long. At least, the first part. Now, let's do this!"

A few seconds later, all three stepped on the plate before the game started to load with Bugs Bunny Dancing on the bottom left hand corner by the spinning loading wheel.

"Well, step one is done. Now I just wait. At first, I thought about just going in and using the might of my Shadow Magic to get through but, why put myself through all that trouble when Randy can do all the work for me? Once he gets in the book, they'll welcome him with open arms. And that's when I'll see what exactly he is doing with it." Yami Bakura thought, as his conscience remained hidden inside the book, choosing to stay out of sight.

Did You Know?

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2 on the SNES in 1993 is the first Dragon Ball game to ever include the iconic Beam Struggles from the franchise.

Even with this fact being on the screen for a few seconds, the game was still loading.

Fun Fact #2: ArcSystem Works' FighterZ was not the company's first game with the franchise as many may think. It was in fact Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors 2 on the DS in 2005 and then Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden released in 2015, exclusive to the 3DS. The latter game has a unique crossplay crossover interaction feature with One Piece: Great Colosseum, a Japan-only release in 2016. This feature allows users of one game to play against the other and allow the rosters to cross over with one another for virtually a One Piece VS DBZ Game!

Randy was notably in his ninja outfit. All three were on one piece of land that had grass and rocks. On the left and right were waterfalls along with small moving platforms, one on each side. In the background was a statue of Wonder Woman, a giant warhorn, a giant ACME crate full of fireworks, and the city of Kandor, which was bottled by Brainiac.

Stage: Trophy's E.D.G.E.(Extra Dimensional Gateway Environment)(Multiversus)

Only two modifiers, one that had that Marvel Mutant Multiple Man and another that only had a Yin-Yang picture, which onlyhad a vague description about "balance".

Because of Multiple Man, the number of participants were multiplied by the number there was there, increasing them to 9.

Now, Morty, Rick, Aomine, Paul(In the background as Electivire represented him), Bass and Hailey had joined them. A/N: If you've played Smash, I've baded Paul off the Pokemon Trainer, where they themselves won't fighter. Rather, their Pokemon will. Paul can still switch on demand like them as well.

The rest of the 9 appeared as a countdown was seen(10 if you count Electivire).

3….

"Just make sure you don't slow me down, got it?" Bass said to his teammates.

2….

1…..

Each of the nine's portraits were seen at the bottom along with their names and numbers, all of which were at 0%. The names were colored the same as their team colors. Interestingly, six smaller versions of their team logos, not their heads, were seen and all 9 were grouped together under where all of the portraits of said team members were.

With there being twelve players on a stage like this, the fight started off as very hectic. Buster shots, lasers, Grenades, Fire and Electricity were being shot all around.

"Twelve players, on a level like this. Definitely a great idea." Randy remarked sarcastically, dodging electricity before blocking a dark magic blast with his sword. Not from Lotte, but from Octavia. Her hands were dark purple.

"I didn't know you could do that!" Randy said to her, surprised before Rick had almost knocked her head off with skis.

"Yeah no, we're not doing this." Rick said before shooting something at the ground. Yellow energy was moving across the ground for about it second before it stayed still. It exploded about a second later, with Rick, Octavia and about a split second later, Randy, in the explosion. While Rick grew in size, now being the largest out of the nine now by a mile. But Octavia and Randy were both turned into Reindogs. And were smaller. "I'm ending this s*it before it begins!"

He kicked, trying to get whoever he could with it along with aiming and shooting a wrist rocket. And while he was able to connect, it wasn't enough to knock anyone out yet.

And although his size made him stronger and tougher to move, along with taking less damage from the smaller enemies, he was also an easier target.

Paul switched out Electivire with Gyarados to freeze Rick's legs.

He used rocket boots to break his legs out, even if it wasn't covering them completely. The cloud created by the rockets disoriented everyone but his teammates.

"Crap! I can't see!" Aomine remarked, eyes closed. Using his instincts, he dodged a hammer swing from Morty, jumping over him.

"What?" Morty said, surprised.

Now having full confirmation that it's an enemy, Aomine shoulder charged him, sending him flying back.

The smoke would quickly begin to dissipate as it started to rain, with clouds covering the at first sunny sky. About five seconds later, it started to storm.

Stage Transition: Whirlpool of Alecto(God of War Ascension Story/Multiplayer)

"Say goodnight chumps!" Rick said before, charging energy from his belt forcefield to use on Octavia, Randy and whoever else he could hit with it as the water started to rise at an alarming rate, with the platform starting to shake as he hit some of them.

"Now what?" He said as they were suddenly out at sea before a sea-monster, who was the Fury Queen Alecto, suddenly emerged from the water and impaled Rick with one of its tentacles.

"RICK!" Morty yelled out.

"Don't worry 'bout me. I'm go-" He was impaled in the head as well before being thrown out of the arena. One of the team logos had disappeared, now decreasing to 5 remaining. And arena that was now 3D. A club, a sword and a bow and arrow appeared seconds later. Everyone that was left had their damage percentages changed into health that was above their heads.

"Wow, this took a turn really quick!" Hailey said, frantically. Just trying to avoid suffering the same fate Rick did.

"You think!?" Randy shouted as thunder was heard roaring before ducking an attack from Aomine.

"You know the best way to not get killed by something like that? Getting rid of everybody else so it won't even matter." He said, now in the Zone before continuing to attack him with the sword that he picked up, with Randy having to constantly do acrobatic flips to avoid getting his face turned into a tic-tac-toe board.

"Let's go! Electivire! Switch back!" Paul called out, switching out Gyarados with Electivire mid-battle instantly without the need for pokeballs to do so. A few seconds later, the sea-monster disappeared.

Blocking Bass' projectile shots, it attempted to try to counter with a Brick Break, relentlessly pursuing him as the robot tried to evade the attacks. But Electivire's relentless pursuit proved to have been too quick for him and he was able to catch him with a devastating punch to the chest, sending him flying.

"Now follow it up with thunder!" Paul called out. Although Electivire could act on his own, Paul could still call out commands to it. As it began to charge the attack, Hailey shot him in the back with fiery arrows. These arrows being from the Bow of Apollo. Although they did a bit of damage, the arrows she shot didn't do much to make him flinch.

"Sorry, but it's going to take more than a couple of arrow shots to make him really move." Paul remarked as the Thunder attack hit its target. Even though the attack was effective, Bass wasn't through yet as he was able to grab onto the ledge and get back into the arena. Though Electivire was waiting for him as soon as he climbed back up. But it didn't faze him in the slightest as he blasted him in the face, causing him to reel just enough for Bass to get away.

Yulaw dropped down to enter the fight a few seconds later, his picture replacing Rick's. Now, only two icons remained under his name. A shield also appeared.

Meanwhile, Lotte and Morty were in a ranged battle against Octavia, with Morty shooting a laser pistol and throwing a couple of grenades.

"Did you know she could do that?" Morty asked Lotte, referring to her magic.

"Well, I do recall her saying she knows some spells. And besides, if she couldn't use magic, she wouldn't have been able to fly a broom."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that."

Alecto reemerged again.

"Oh no!" Both yelled out with Octavia realizing that she was in its reach. And it seemed Alecto realized this too as she immediately tried to lunge at her to eat her alive. She tried to put up a barrier to stop it from doing so, but was struggling with holding it back.

"Lotte, now! While she's distracted!"

The combination of attacks from the front and the back were starting to be too much.

But thankfully for her, Alecto looked as if she was about to retreat. Though unlike before, she backed away, looked at them before eventually submerging back in the water. But, there was still Lotte to worry about….

And the platform that was now grabbed by a tentacle. A tentacle that would have inadvertently crushed Electivire had Paul not changed to Garchomp to take flight. Everyone yelled out in horror as the platform was sent flying, them included.

Garchomp grabbed a hold of Octavia and Aomine to allow them a safe ride along with its owner, Paul in the still rough storm.

Bass, with the help of Treble, who he summoned mid-air, was able to take flight as well and grabbing Hailey. Lotte changed into a falcon and grabbed onto Morty.

"Thanks for the save." Morty said to her before he realized something. "Yulaw!"

Though this wouldn't matter as they were getting shot at by Garchomp.

"You know, I think this is when that Art of Flying would have came in handy! AHHHHHHHHH!" Randy yelled out before being hit in the face by a shield. "What the juice?"

The shield had come from Yulaw, who was also still free-falling.

"That is a low blow man." Randy said to him.

"Maybe I'm trying to get our life back." Yulaw responded.

"Life? What are you- ohhh, Rick. Still though, do it to them! Not me!"

A couple of seconds later, Yulaw was blasted away by Bass.

"Ha!" Randy said before realizing that he was still falling. "Now uh, could you please get me!"

Bass seemingly ignored him and tried to fire at Garchomp, who fired back.

Suddenly, all of them were grabbed by tentacles, with Lotte being forced to revert back to normal before all of them were thrown down hard by the tentacles, with all of them descending quickly.

"Yeah, they're probably dead." Sucy remarked.

"Sucy!" Akko said.

"What?"

Music Stops

Eventually, they fell through some clouds that changed from black back to white before falling on a beach.

All 9 had got up to look at their surroundings. The skies were clear and sunny, there was cruise ship in the distance, palm trees were around them and there was a Buddhist statue with a flower pot that had flowers in it. Interestingly enough, a large gong with Mortal Kombat dragon on it was also in the water, not too far from where they were. It was as if the deadly storm that they were in earlier had never happened.

Stage Transition: Yin-Yang Island(Earthrealm)(Mortal Kombat Deception/Unchained)

"Man am I glad to be back on the ground again." Morty remarked before being hit by Aomine with a coconut, which actually caused two points of damage.

"Shoulda been payin' attention. Gotta admit, that was actually kinda funn-" Aomine said before an annoyed Morty pulled out his laser gun. "Oh crap!" Aomine said before quickly running to dodge the laser shots. The battle had quickly resumed.

Multiple items including food and beach balls dropped to the ground with Yulaw being the first to dash and grab a chicken leg to recover from the damage he took. It wasn't much, but less damage was always better than more.

"Use Hyper Beam!" Paul commanded as Garchomp had took flight to avoid the lasers from Hailey and the shots from Bass.

The Hyper Beam blast spread and began to attack everyone that was an enemy, causing them all to scatter. A couple of palm trees were destroyed in the process.

"Ninja kick!" Randy called out after jumping in the air to kick Garchomp in the chest.

Stage Transition: Yin Yang Island(Outworld)

Mortal Kombat Deception Soundtrack: Yin Yang Island #2 Plays

As he did, the sky suddenly changed. It was storming again. And it was nighttime. The cruise ship in the background had became a nethership in an unsafe ocean. The Buddhist statue had changed into a statue holding a fire pot with a lit fire in it.

And the palm trees, to several people's horror and/or surprise, had turned into large man-eating serpents.

"What the f*ck!?" Octavia remarked as one of the snakes had tried to bite her head off. One had actually gotten ahold of Bass, his head in its mouth until he blasted it off, with blood flying everywhere.

Landing back on the ground, he discarded the head, throwing it at Aomine, who yelled, thinking the head was still alive as he was trying to ward off Hailey and Yulaw. Now, weapons had dropped on the ground, including nunchuks, a staff, a broadsword and Kung Lao's razer hat.

Yulaw tripped Hailey up before Yulaw had gotten into a speed battle with Aomine for one of the weapons. Yulaw had beaten him to the broadsword but, not willing to quit, Aomine tried to take it from him. But Yulaw was able to overpower him.

"You may be one of the fastest in your world. But this isn't your world." Yulaw said to him.

"Yeah, so?" He replied, keeping his distance, knowing that Yulaw has the advantage with the sword for now.

"So I'll show-" Yulaw suddenly ducked the razer hat that was thrown by Hailey, just avoiding getting his head taken off before it came back to her.

"That'll teach you to ignore me." Hailey said before things returned back to the Earth version of the island.

Earthrealm Yin Yang Island plays

"Huh. That wasn't so bad." She remarked as a grenade was thrown over her head, the source from Morty, causing her to get moving agasin. That, and Yulaw and Aomine, now with nunchuks, attacking.

Just as Paul was about to switch pokemon again to deal with Randy and Lotte, the island sunk.

"Okay, I spoke too soon!" Hailey said, already afraid of what they were about to be thrown into next.

Music Stops

All of them descended underwater.

"Can we stay on solid ground for like five minutes!?" Randy remarked. Eventually, they landed on a ghostly ship.

Stage Transition: Flying Dutchman's Ship(Spongebob Squarepants; Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 1 & 2)

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Soundtrack Flying Dutchman's Ship Plays

Unlike Trophy's E.D.G.E., there were no extra platforms. What was seen on the ship were all the platforms that were there for them to walk on.

"Can't even get into a good flow." Aomine grumbled as he got up before he was suddenly strangled by a snake. That snake being Lotte. He tried to get her off but she did a good job in restricting his arms to make it hard for him to do that. Before Yulaw could finish him off, a magic barrier prevented him from doing so, causing him to fall to the ground, with Octavia attempting to blast Lotte off, but ended up hitting Aomine instead as she moved.

"Sorry." Octavia said to him before she was hit by smoke bombs, disorienting her and causing her and Aomine to cough.

"Ninja kick!" Randy kicks Octavia and Aomine away. Because of the prior damage they took, it was far enough for them to be knocked off the ship. But before they could fall to their doom, Aomine held on to the ledge with one hand and Octavia with the other.

"Crap!" Aomine grunted. "If you got somethin', please use it now!" He said to Octavia, trying his hardest to keep his grip on the ledge.

Randy had gotten to the ledge they were on. "Sorry, but it is-" His leg was suddenly grabbed by Aomine. "Uh uh! Not gonna-"

A thunderstorm was suddenly seen before the Flying Dutchman appeared, scaring Randy, Aomine, Octavia, Lotte, Morty and Hailey, with Paul being surprised himself. The scare caused Aomine to suddenly let go of Randy's leg, causing both Octavia and himself to fall off to their doom. Now only 4 of their icons remained.

"AAAAAAAAHHH! REMEMBER ME!? WELL, IF YA DON'T, LET ME GIVE YOU A REFRESHER!" He yelled out before grabbing everyone. "I'M THE FLYING DUTCHMAN! AND THIS IS MY SHIP! A SHIP THAT YOU'RE NOT WELCOME ON! NOW, GOODBYE! INTO THE FLY OF DESPAIR WITH YE!"

All of them were thrown in.

"Man, you guys went all in with the mods." Toxsa said. "Even the dialogue is able to remember us. Or it might just be a coincidence. That too."

"Mods?" Heloise said, confused.

"Uh yeah. So, no mods for this huh?"

Heloise looked at Chris and Chef for a second before saying, "nah".

"Man, I didn't even do anything and my arms are in pain." Aomine remarked after returning. "And my hands."

"This isn't VR isn't it?" Rally asked suspiciously.

"Wait a second, you mean this whole thing was real!?" Eijun asked.

"Think for a second. If it was real, how come Rick isn't dead?" Tsukishima said to him. "At least that part anyway."

"Chris, was that Flying Dutchman thing real or not?" Courtney asked.

"Don't know. And I'm being completely honest." Chris said.

"What the heck do you mean 'you don't know?'"

"You mean I almost got my head bitten off and eaten alive for real!?" Octavia said.

"That stuff wasn't real. This? Yeah, that was real." Heloise said.

"What? Are you serious?" Doyle asked her in genuine disbelief.

"Yep."

"Wow."

"You didn't know about this? I thought you guys, you know, tell each other stuff like that." Zee said.

"That? No. Chris wanted some unique stuff for the modifiers, so that was something that I decided to go with for this one." Heloise said.

"I did. Just don't know what's real and what isn't in some cases." Chris admitted.

Focusing back on the game, everyone was still in the Fly of Despair until a few seconds later, a portal opened that all of them fell into. They were all suddenly on a cruise ship. The Eiffel Tower can be seen in the background as well. Along with this, their damage percentages were changed back into health bars.

Stage Transition: Celebration on the Seine, Paris, France(Tekken 8)

Replacing Octavia and Aomine were Sly and Eliza. The former was now an older man in a blue and yellow three-piece suitsuit with shades known as Victor Chevalier. His gray hair was brushed back and side-parted and he had a gray mustache and beard. The katana that he had holstered was technologically enhanced along with his pistol. The latter was someone who shared the same name as her, but now was a vampire with red eyes and black hair. She had a scrolling black tatoo between her shoulder blades with red horns protruding from the sides of her head. She wore a red corset with long tails and silver fasteners over a short black ruffled skirt along with red high-heeled shoes and black stockings.

"So I guess this is just going to be the thing in this, isn't it." Morty concluded, with him taking on the appearance of Jin Kazama(A/N: Picture him in his default Tekken 4 outfit. Not just bc of the colors. It's personally my favorite Jin non-custom outfit)

"Doesn't make it any less terrifying." Hailey, as Master Raven, said as the fight had quickly started again after everyone had gotten their bearings on their surroundings and their new appearances.

Yulaw, as Feng Wei attempted to get through Electivire's defenses with brute force. The pokemon was the only one that was unchanged, with even Paul taking on the appearance of Paul Phoenix who was wearing a purple gi and had a purple flat top. Until it used Brick Break to well, break through Yulaw's strong offense and sending him flying back as a blue aura had surrounded it. Which was a benefit acquired from the new venue, not a Pokemon move or ability. Electivire was in pursuit of him until someone had dashed towards him and grabbed him before hitting him relentlessly as yelling from Yulaw's end was heard. When it was over, Yulaw was sent flying out of the boat and unable to recover.

Seven of their logos remained.

That someone was Bass, who was Akuma, with his Gi matching Bass' colors. He stomped the ground afterwards, red aura coming from his body to indicate his newfound power.

He was able to avoid the thunder attack from Electivire easily by teleported through the attack. Though unlike other teleports, he glided across the ground, phasing through the electric type move as if he was a ghost.

"What the-" Paul said, surprised as Bass had gotten behind him. "Protect! Now!"

Using said move right as Bass was about to attack was the only reason the attack was stopped, with Bass being knocked away and sent reeling from the block. This allowed for Paul to switch to Magmortar and for him to grab Bass and throw him backwards on the ground with a Reverse Arm Slam. Still holding on to him, he then does a backdrop before doing a German Suplex. Then follows it up with a Power Bomb before spinning him around, starting to spin him faster and faster.

"Don't worry, I got ya!" Randy, as Raven said, running after him but was hit in the back by an electric bullet from Sly, who unapologetically shot at him with another one that he dodged. But it was too late. Magmortar had already finished Bass off with a Fire Punch, sending him flying. Luckily for him, he was able to grab on to one of the back parts of the boat and prevent from falling off.

"Didn't know Paul was the type of guy that would teach his Pokemon wrestling moves." Ben commented.

"I don't think so. Look at how everyone is. They all look like Tekken characters. I guess in the case of Paul's Pokemon, they get some Tekken moves from characters to go with their own. In Magmortar's case, looks like he gets a couple of King's wrestling moves." Doyle explained. "I should know. I played Tekken for this challenge. And Pokken."

A few seconds later, Zee appeared, taking on the appearance of Hwoarang.

As for his teammates, Morty had just dodged an attack from Magmortar and used an Electric Wind God Fist, knocking him into the air before following it up with a second consecutive God Fist Punch before following it up with a couple of additional punches and ending with a cross kick, sending him spinning back.

Though for Lotte, who was Ling Xiaoyu, it wasn't as easy. She had to deal with Hailey and Eliza, and surprisingly, the former was the one doing the best, dodging almost every attempt to hit her. Compared to in the beginning, she was near untouchable. At least until now where Eliza had caught her and Lotte in a choke hold.

"Now who should I feast on first? I'm sure your blood will taste very sweet. As a sweet girl yourself." Eliza said, referring to Lotte. "Or, the one who has been very troublesome, and quite frankly, annoying to go against." She added, referring to Hailey. Despite them both trying to get out of the hold, they couldn't.

Morty was able to completely avoid the Smog attack by jumping and dive kicking at Magmortar before following this up with a quick grab to an uppercut, another God Fist and a few more punches and a forward kick that hit the Pokemon so hard, it slid across the floorboard, breaking off some of it in the process.

"Holy cow. I just kicked a Pokemon across the ground." Morty said, coming to a realization at what he was doing before he looked at his hands as if they were foreign objects.

Lotte was heard yelling as she was bit into by Eliza, sucking her blood, with said blood healing her every second. Morty turned and realized that Lotte was in trouble.

"Lotte!" He yelled out before running after her, until he was wrapped up by Gyarados. And he immediately started to squeeze him. Despite him trying to get out, he wasn't able to.

"You should have worried about yourself, not her! Keep squeezing Gyarados!" Paul commanded, with Morty yelling out in pain, the damage being reflected as his health was constantly decreasing by the second. It had also started to rain.

As for Lotte, she was completely drained, her skin no longer having color before Eliza dropped her as if she was a piece of paper being thrown in the trash. The conditions had started to get worse as the wind started to pick up as well.

Eliza licked her lips before saying, "Delicious". She then started to drain Hailey next, until she got distracted from the sudden burst of power that came from Morty. When she looked to see what was happening, it allowed Hailey just enough time to get free and then kick her with a flip kick before landing on the ground. Which had started to shake a few seconds as a tornado had approached them.

Zee, who had stopped fighting first before Bass, was chopped down by him before realizing why he had stopped, seeing what Zee was looking at.

Everyone, except for Morty had stopped fighting with him throwing Gyarados into a wall. Paul, regaining his focus, had tried to switch Pokemon, but it still didn't matter as Electivire was overwhelmed as well, with Morty finishing him off with a laser, eliminating the Pokemon and by extension, Paul.

The Rats and the Kings were now down to three. Afterwards, Morty had looked at the tornado himself.

"That's not good." Randy said, seeing it.

"You think!?" Sly replied before it crashed into them seconds later. In less than a minute, everything around them was ravaged and ruined as the dangerous storm raged on due to a comet crashing.

When everyone landed, they looked at all of their surroundings. It had looked like complete Armageddon. There were now multiple tornados and falling meteors in the distance. The cruise ship they were on, which was taken apart by the tornado, was floating on top of a water spout. And on the opposite side, there was a raging wildfire.

Stage Transition: Fallen Destiny(Tekken 8)

Albedo and Ben had appeared a couple of seconds later, both dropping down. The latter had a sword, wearing a green jacket over a black shirt with blue jeans and the former was larger and blue and green, very similar to the look of Ultimate Humungosaur. In reality, he was Gigas while the latter was Clive Rosfield.

Eliza had taken a look at Morty's new look. He had now sprouted wings on his back and horns protruded from his head. His hood was now down, revealing his black hair. His eyes were red and had tattoo markings on his forehead. He also had sprouted a third eye that looked very similar to a red gem in the center of his forehead.

"Well, someone has tapped into their dark side it seems. Was it because of me?" Eliza said, the last part in an innocent tone.

"No. But, you doing that doesn't help." Morty replied, his voice now having a demonic echo.

"I see. Well, I can help put you to rest."

She was suddenly kicked in the face by Hailey.

"That was for trying to suck my blood!" Hailey said. "Virtual, but still, my blood!"

"Another two on one? Why not make it two in a row?" She was suddenly flown into by Morty before pushing her into the ground.

Tekken 8 Soundtrack – STORM RISING(Normal) Plays

He started to relentlessly slice at her until after the third slice she stopped the onslaught and bit into his arm, causing him a bit of pain as she began to heal from the bite. Realizing what she was doing, he threw her away. He then looked at Hailey, who, even with her new abilities, was admittedly a little apprehensive in fighting him.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing. So don't freak out alright?" Morty said to Hailey.

"Well, I guess that slightly makes me feel better." Hailey said before running at him.

Meanwhile, Sly and Randy were continuing to fight, with the former dashing forward quickly and then slicing low.

But the latter was able to parry the attack and lift him off the ground. "Ninja parry!"

He followed this up with multiple kicks to keep him in the air. "Ninja kicks!"

He then finished off the combo by using shadow versions of himself to kick and then upper cut Sly. "Ninja shadows!"

"Do you have to repeat everything that you do?" Sly asked, annoyed after getting up.

"And people said me calling out my alien's names was annoying. At least that was once and then you're done with it for a while." Ben remarked, rolling out of the way of Albedo as he attempted to crush him with his clear advantage in strength.

"Stand still!" Albedo said as he continued to try to attack him but couldn't with how elusive he was being until he was able to catch him with a devastating punch. A punch that Ben was able to completely armor through with his own punch that was just as strong: the Titan Punch.

"Is that it? I don't remember Ultimate being that underwhelming." Ben joked.

"You joke. I'm going to crush you!" Albedo said, as he got up.

Bass was becoming just as aggravated with Zee as Albedo was with Ben. His constant kicks were annoying to have to block or dodge. And the fact that they were actually hitting him was ticking him off even more. Even with him teleporting, he continued to keep kicking him, stopping any counterattack.

He roared out before dashing at him to perform a Raging Demon, the same move that took Yulaw out of the game. But, Zee was able to stop this by jumping and then kicking downward right after, knocking Bass off his feet before performing even more kicks before using an axe kick to bounce him off the ground and kick him upwards. Zee followed him to the air before hitting him with more powerful kicks before one of his legs began to glow blue. He used that leg to kick downwards on his head, which was the final blow to knock Bass out of the game.

Zee took a breath before he looked out at the ship that was still in the water along with the tornados. Tornados that looked as if they were getting closer.

"Hey guys!" Zee called out.

"What?" Albedo asked in an annoyed tone.

"Kinda busy here." Morty said, now being put on defense as Hailey was constantly making him guess with her quick attacks.

"Does anyone else think those tornadoes are getting close?" Zee asked.

"Probably just you. Kinda hard to look when we're in the middle of fighting." Sly said as he was still fighting Randy as they were evenly matched, even with the help of Eliza.

"No, really! It really does like they're getting closer!"

And a few seconds later, he was proven to have been right as they were pulled into it and sent flying.

Music Stops

"Here we go again!" Randy yelled out with everyone else also yelling in the process.

When they landed, they found themselves in the middle of a city.

Stage Transition: Bayview, USA(Bakugan)

Bakugan were also seen lying next to them and they also were noticeably all wearing brawling gauntlets.

"Wait a sec, these are Bakugan!" Zee pointed out, being the first to notice as he picked up the one that was next to him.

"Well if these are Bakugan… then why not use em to help us out? Bakugan… brawl!" Ben called out, throwing his out. "Bakugan stand!" His Bakugan was Ventus and was revealed to have been Master Ingram.

"Ooh a brawl. I'm game! Are you Gorem?" Julie, the replacement to Bass said.

"Of course Julie! I'm always ready!" Gorem said.

"That's what I like to hear! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Let's bring the hammer down on 'em Gorem!"

"Ahhhhhh! Yeah you read my mind!" Gorem said as his real form was revealed, joining the rest of the Bakugan that were already out.

"Battle Start!" The Interspace AI declared.

Bakugan Defenders of the Core Soundtrack- USA Battle Plays

Each of the Bakugan that were in play had their health converted to what their owners had prior to arriving. Though noticeably, they were limited to what abilities they could use compared to before. Along with that, they also did not have any gate cards with them either. But that still didn't stop any of them from fighting with them and using the abilities that they did have.

"Ability activate! Flood of Light!" Morty declared as Nemus shot light arrows into the air before they began to rain down on every enemy that was in the area. All of them were forced to have to block the attack to avoid getting hit.

"You annoying pest!" One Hydranoid head said.

"Let's say we get rid of this nuisance shall we? Ability activate! Terminal Trident!" Eliza declared.

"Now!" The Hydranoid head from earlier started.

"Witness true power!" The second head said.

"And your destruction fool!" The third head finished before unleashing its own rain of dark energy on every enemy in the arena, forcing them to guard this as well.

Hailey, knowing there was an opening, decided to take it instead of standing by to just guard. "Ability activate! Aquos Dive!"

"Aggressive huh? I love it! Let's…" She gets into a running man stance before taking off. "Go!" She was able to completely break through Nemus' barrier and hit him with a rush of kicks that ended with a diver kick.

"Noooooo!" Nemus yelled out, the last of his low health being taken out by the rush attack, eliminating him and Morty from the game.

"Okay, how the heck do you get the ninja Bakugan and I don't? Shouldn't it be like, the other way around?" Randy said to Ben as their Bakugan battled. Thankfully for the former, he was able to find a health power-up to recover a good portion of it. Otherwise, he would have been in as much danger as Morty was earlier.

"Huh. You know, that actually is kinda weird. Anyways, ability activate!" Ben said. Before he could declare his ability, Helios had charged at him with a rush of attacks before ending with a devastating punch to the face, knocking Ingram down.

"Get up! We're not through yet!" Helios said to Ingram before he was hit by a double ability card from Randy. The first that sent Percival at him with multiple slices and the second that increased the power of said slices.

"Hey, I know you two have got your own thing going on, but so do I. And it's called, winning." Randy said to Albedo.

"You shouldn't have gotten in the way. Now you'll pay!" Albedo said as Helios got up before he activated an ability card.

"Hey, that rhymes! Also, ability activate! Shadow Growth!"

Percival generates a shield to try to block the incoming attack that was charging from Helios, which was a laser from its mouth that he shot from side to side, annihilating anything that got in its path. Well, anything but Percival and Ingram, with the latter almost having their defenses broken.

"Not bad. But, a battle is about more than just blocking!" Helios said to them.

"Just like a battle is about more than just punching!" Ingram replied.

"I couldn't agree more. Though in this case, I'll show you why a sword is more effective than any fist!" Percival said before he was suddenly thrown down to the ground before spinning in the air and landing on top of his head.

"What was that?" Helios said, looking around for the source, only to get grabbed by his tail and thrown around before being flung, crashing into several buildings.

"Woo! How do you like my wrestling moves!?" A voice, which was revealed to have been Preyas a second later as he became visible again said. "Even though you couldn't see em. But still! Pretty sweet huh?" He said, hands on his hips in a heroic pose.

"They were effective. That's really all that matters in the end." Ingram said.

"Effective, and….. what's the kid-friendly version of bada*s? At least one that sounds cool."

"Well, you said it already. Might as well go through with it." Sly said.

"True!"

Meanwhile, Gorem was battling against Strikeflier, with the former throwing out multiple rapid punches that were close to breaking the latter's guard.

"Man, this sucks." Zee commented, a little bummed out by the look on his face.

"What sucks? The fact that you're losing?" Julie said in a joking manner.

"Well, I mean that always stinks. Even if it's a little. I'm talking about not having a talking Bakugan. Literally all of you guys have one but me."

"Oh. Yeah, I know how you feel. I remember when Dan met Drago while the rest of us just had regular old Bakugan that couldn't talk either. I mean, I love all of them, but having a little companion Bakugan to talk to will never not be cool. That's why I cherish Gorem so much. Well, one of the reasons anyway. Our bond is just like the bond Dan has with Drago. Or Ash with his Pikachu. And even Team JET with their machines."

"Very touching. It almost brings a tear to my eye. Maybe the both of you will be able to talk about it when this match is over. After we win of course! Gate card open!" Eliza declared.

"A gate card? But no one has-" The arena suddenly charged as Darkus energy began to cover the skies.

Bakugan Defenders of the Core Soundtrack- Gate Card Open Plays

"How the heck did she get her hands on a gate card?" Kaz asked.

"She found it." Shiro said.

"What? What do you mean she found it?"

"Weren't you paying attention? When one of the buildings was destroyed, a card was revealed from it. She must have seen the card while Hydranoid was fighting Elfin so she decided to get it."

" 'Weren't you paying attention'? You act like you see everything."

Focusing back on the battle, the Gate Card proved to have been a major difference changer as the effects of it caused beams of darkness to attack all opposing Bakugan along with boosting the strength of every one of her teammates, the benefit being even more effective on Hydranoid. This benefit started to pay off when Hydranoid was able to take out Zee and leave Gorem at a weakened state, losing over half of its health due to the Gate Card.

"Gorem! Are you alright?" Julie asked him.

"Yes. I'm fine." Gorem said, beginning to slowly get back up.

"Not for long he won't be!" Eliza said.

"Well, I guess you're talking about yourself. Ability activate! Broken heart!" Hailey declared before Elfin shot a heart shaped beam at Hydranoid.

He was surrounded by electricity, stunned and unable to move.

"What…." One head started.

"…..Is….." The second head added.

"….This!?" The third head finished.

Eliza pulled out a shield ability card and loaded it, but nothing happened with the gauntlet saying, "Ability card usage disabled".

"I guess him being stuck in place didn't give you the hint. So, let's take em to school Gorem!" Julie said before loading her own ability card as Elfin and Gorem worked together to relentlessly attack Hydranoid. "Ability activate!" Both Hailey and Julie declared simultaneously. "Gorem Punch!"

"Aquos Dive!"

"Hey Jotaro, you think you're the only one with fast punches? Well watch this!" Gorem said before throwing out rapid punches, doing his best impression of Star Platinum with Elfin following along with multiple kicks.

"NGAHHHHHHHHH!" All three Hydranoid heads yelled out before being sent back to his ball, with Eliza falling down in defeat before she was brought out of the arena.

A few seconds later, the gate card's effects were no longer active. And because of that, the arena they were in was completely digitized before changing to their next venue: A ruined city. An army, the Special Forces, were seen fighting demons and monsters in the background. A crashed plane and several crashed cars could also be seen. Both Ben and Albedo had been changed into Smoke, with the latter being changed into the cybernetic version of him.

Stage Transition: Destroyed City(Past)(Mortal Kombat X)

"You know, I think I figured out something." Kageyama started as the contestants resumed their battle. Zero, Lotte again, and finally Razer had joined the fight.

"What?" Hinata asked.

"Yin and Yang. When that modifier said something about balance, it was talking about these stages." Kageyama started as a spear was heard being thrown by Lotte, who was Scorpion, with the signature "COME HERE" being heard, pulling Sly over to her forcefully.

"One is calm, the other is chaotic. Like this one. Or the one a couple of stages ago. And the storm. Those are the chaos ones. The ones like the first one are pretty normal. And the icons at the bottom are how many lives are left for each team. Every person that goes after them gets randomly selected to replace them. And they'll play until all of the team's lives are out." He finished explaining.

Several people looked at him in silence.

"What? How does what I'm saying not make any sense?" He said, confused.

"It makes sense. I just think everyone's thinking how crazy it is that it took you until now to figure that out." Yami said to him.

"Then if everyone else knew this how come I'm the only one that said anything?"

"Probably because we kept it to ourselves. Like you probably should have kept that to yourself." Tsukishima said to him.

"Yeah, like you totally knew in the beginning. Give me a break!"

"No one knew anything in the beginning. After the first transition I figured it out. Same with the lives."

"Don't feel bad. I figured it out after Yin-Yang Island. Which kinda made it obvious at that point." Ayame said, laughing a little.

"You really should have kept that to yourself." Diana said to him.

"I HEARD YOU GUYS THE FIRST TIME, JEEZ! NOW I GUESS I'M DEAF TOO!" He yelled back.

"And they say I got a trigger temper…." Kagami mumbled.

"You do." Old Bennett remarked in a deadpan tone as the fighters transitioned to the next area, the screen suddenly starting to move as they had to make their way to a rooftop. Sly had already been knocked out by Lotte and the balcony that Hailey had tried to climb on had given out, causing her to fall. When Randy tried to help her, that would be his downfall, literally as Albedo, who, using the harpoon from his chest, grabbed onto Randy's leg. He tried to pull away but couldn't and was pulled down by him.

Everyone else that was left had started to get on to the roof, with Ben being the last one as Albedo failed to even make it himself as he was nowhere to be seen.

"Phew, that was a close-" Ben started until he was suddenly kicked off the roof with him yelling as he was eliminated for being out of bounds as nothing but the rooftop was seen now. Julie was also grabbed and pushed off as well.

Razer looked as if he was about to suffer the same fate had he not decided to create a blinding bright light in the entire area, blinding everyone in said area before he was overwhelmed.

This forced the deactivation of Albedo's cloaking before he was blasted off himself. Before he could blast anyone else, he could hear a dragon roaring behind him and he turned his attention to it.

The chaos seemed to have been even worse. A dragon was present and there was a portal that lead to Outworld, with multiple warriors coming out of it. Seeing the contestants, they began to charge at them until they were stopped by Sackboy, who was cosplaying as a Jedi Warrior. Afterwards, he took off the costume and completely changed the sky to darkness along with the background scenery as the Eiffel Tower and full moon could be seen again. He then selected stickers that looked like the faces Eijun, Reagan, Launch, Reimu and Jotaro bringing all of them in and threw down bags that had balls of enerfy in them before waved at the contestants as he made a jetpack and then flew off. Along with that, everyone was returned to normal.

Stage Transition: Paris Rooftops(Sly Cooper/Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale)

Kings' Lives Left: 0

Rats' Lives Left: 1

Breakers' Lives Left: 1

The amount of lives the teams had left were converted into super levels for each team member. Meaning the Rats and Breakers were all at level 1. Levels that would be helped to increase after collecting the balls of energy that Sackboy threw. Any semblance of health, whether it be the traditional health bars, or the percentages as seen in Smash or other Platform Fighters was removed.

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale Soundtrack Paris(Sly Cooper) Plays

Eijun immediately activated his level 1, which had him throw a flaming baseball as hard as he could. But it would prove to be a waste as everyone jumped over it.

No one else would use their supers as they fought. After each unblocked hit, the eight would drop balls of energy known as All-Star Power, or AP for short. Picking up the AP would cause the person that picked it up to have their Super Bar fill up slightly.

"So there's no health or percentage numbers. How the heck are they supposed to take each other out?" Toxsa asked.

"Ring out maybe?" Scott proposed.

Zero blocked all of Star Platinum's punches with his Z-Saber.

"Come on, you can do better than that!" Zero said to him as he didn't look like he was close to having his block broken at all.

When he suddenly tried to grab him, that was broken too. "If you think the same strategy's going to work a second time, think again!" When he felt someone behind him, that someone being Reimu, he slammed the ground for a Rekkoha, using his Level 1. It kept everyone back but it lacked the range to take Jotaro or Reimu out as it would only insta-kill anyone that touched him without blocking.

A grenade had just been thrown by Launch before it exploded a couple of seconds later by Razer's feet, but he was able to block it.

Seeing that the surprise Level 1s weren't going to work, everyone seemed to have been content with waiting until their level 2 super was charged. And throwing their opponents when possible as well as throws would take some of their meter away.

The second Reimu began to charge her Level 2, Eijun had caught her with his Level 1, taking her out of the game in a flash of squares, triangles, X's and O's.

"REIMU ELIMINATED!"

"Heh. Wasn't expecting that, were you?" Eijun commented.

Ryoma was the next to go in, replacing him, with him using the last of their reserves. It didn't take him long to get himself into the fight though, despite the late entry.

"I hope you know that as soon as I get that Level 3, I'm gonna use it." Reagan said to Razer as red rapier sword and Power Glove clashed.

"I'm sure you would. As will I." Razer replied.

"I don't know if I should take that as sarcasm or not."

"Don't. I think you'd know if I was being sarcastic."

"Oh. Good!" She suddenly hit him with several rapid punches that eliminated him from the game. One bar was removed from what was almost a fully charged third bar, leaving her back at level one. And also indicating that she had used a level one, not a level two. "Because I lied. HA!"

"RAZER ELIMINATED!"

Time had stopped, allowing Jotaro to move freely unchallenged. Any hit he does instantly kills whoever he hits except anyone that was blocking before time froze.

He first went after Ryoma, who was preparing to try and grab Zero. Then Zero, who was charging a buster shot.

Reagan, who didn't even get a chance to do anything else after taking out Razer. And then Eijun after that. And finally Lotte. Though in her case, she was actually blocking, so he had no choice but to let the time run out.

Once time resumed, the names eliminated was heard with Natsu appearing with the Rats' final reserve.

"So, it looks like it's just us three now." Natsu said before all of them were bowled over by Ultimate Cannonbolt. Well, everyone but Natsu. The culprit being Albedo, who somehow reemerged.

"Actually, it's just us two." Albedo corrected as the game began to slow down before they were brought out of it.

"Alright, somebody better explain how the heck he was able to come back to help them win." Todd said.

"Simple. Razer never finished the job. When I fell, I hung on to one of the balconies in the area on the side. He just assumed I was gone when he threw me off instead of checking. And that is what costed all of you the win." He explained as a short flashback seen of him being thrown off and him actually hanging on to a balcony and climbing back up, staying out of sight was seen.

"You should have known something was wrong when Natsu entered. If I really was gone, we would have been out of the game." He concluded.

"Wow. I don't believe this." Sophie said.

"Believe it girl! You lose! And so do you guys!" Chris said, pointing to Sophie and then the Breakers. "So, I'll see you tonight. As for the MK Grand champion, it's out of Albedo and Lotte. There will be no co-champions in this so….. rock paper scissors for it."

"I was able to win us the game. Allow me to have it." Albedo said to Lotte before they got ready.

In normal circumstances, she would have given it to him, but considering what happened earlier today, and the fact that she wasn't on her own, she decided otherwise. "No, I can't. If you want it, you'll have to beat me for it fair and square." Lotte said to him.

"Fine then."

"Rock, paper, scissors!" Both said simultaneously.

…..

…

….

…..

Albedo chose paper. Lotte chose scissors.

"Well, that decides it. Lotte gets it!" Chris said.

"What? NO! I DEMAND A REMATCH!" Albedo demanded.

"Nope. It was one game. We're not gonna be here all day. I bet you wouldn't have wanted one if you won, now would you?"

Albedo was clearly seething. Immunity that he believed he earned was taken away from him. By Lotte of all people. But he'd keep it in and leave.

"So, is the champ ready for some more Silent Hill later?" Morty asked Lotte.

"Please, you don't have to call me that." Lotte said, blushing.

"Of course we do, champ!" Akko said, rubbing her hair playfully as she suddenly came from behind her.

*Confessional*

Yulaw(Radical Rats):

"I can't believe I lost the opportunity for free immunity… to her of all people….." He said in disgust.

*End Confessional*

*Confessional*

Becky(Radical Rats):

"Yeah, it sucks to lose out on that opportunity but, congrats to her. I won't complain one bit. I think I've said it before but she's one of the few people that no one here holds any type of disdain for."

*End Confessional*

*Confessional*

Albedo(Radical Rats):

"She had one good game and that makes her worthy just because she got lucky and happened to survive the second one? It doesn't! Completely unearned!"

*End Confessional*

*Confessional*

Lotte(Radical Rats):

"I think it's nice to have that in the case something goes horribly wrong but….. a part of me wishes I didn't. Maybe it's just me, but now I feel like some people here are mad at me for having it. And I don't mean just Albedo."

*End Confessional*

Later that night, during the elimination

"There's a lot of puzzles here too. Controls are pretty dated, but fine once you get used to them." Morty explained to Diana, who was also in the room with Lotte, explaining Tomb Raider. At least the early games.

"Hmm, interesting." Diana said, intrigued after hearing the puzzles.

"Yo! Lotte, I need you to come see me ASAP! Like, right now!" Chris called out on the intercom.

The color started to leave her skin, thinking she was in trouble for some reason.

"You have nothing to worry about. You of all people wouldn't be one to get into mischief. On your own at least." Diana said to her.

"Yeah. We'll be right here when you come back." Morty said to her.

When she went outside, she found Chris outside, already preparing to do the votes and immediately ran to him.

"I'm really sorry. I must be holding you up." She said to him.

"You're good. In fact, you're just in time." Chris said before turning to the Kings and the Breakers, all awaiting the results of who would be leaving.

TD Elimination Theme Plays

"Alright Lotte, and all of you. Do you remember when I said that there'd be a second perk to being the Grand Champion of MK? Well, Lotte's about to cash in that perk right now." Chris started.

"I've got everyone right here patiently awaiting two eliminations. Your job Lotte, is to decide one of them. Anyone you want from either team. Group elimination rules still apply. Whichever choice Lotte makes overrides the voting the teammates of that contestant made. The other one still stands. Meaning we'll still do a normal elimination like usual for that one. The reason why I waited until now to say anything was because I didn't want you to be influenced by anyone. This is your prize and your decision. And if any of you say anything to her or make any type of gesture to her before she chooses, you're gonna be the first person that goes. And I mean it. This isn't going to work how it should if anyone influences her. Are we clear?"

No one said a thing.

"I'm gonna assume your silence is a yes. Now, Lotte, who do you want to vote off? Take your time. We're in no rush here."

She turned toward the teams, clearly nervous. She didn't expect such a decision to be thrown on her. And if she had to be honest, she forgot about that second benefit. And apparently, so did several others.

"Um…." She started, as she looked at everyone.

"Remember, you're still here to win. So make the best choice that'll help you win!" She thought, trying to mentally calm her self down as her mind was going 100 miles per hour.

"I…..I…I-I know who I want to go!" Lotte declared.

"Great! Who is it?"

Her arm was shaking as she closed her eyes and pointed to someone. "Ben!"

"You're pointing to Jotaro. But you're saying Ben. Did you mean Jotaro?"

She opened her eyes and realized he was right, which caused her to start to have second thoughts, thinking for a few more seconds.

"Uh….."

…

"No! I-I meant Ben!"

"Are you sure?" Chris asked.

"Yes. I'm sure."

"Alright. Well, Ben and by extension Rook, you heard her. You're outta here!"

"Sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It sucks but, I think I understand why you did it." Ben said.

"You do?"

"Yeah. Gotta be the Omnitrix right?"

She nodded, eyes closed. "I… wasn't sure if we could handle all of that long-term. It could be too much."

"I figured. Chosen to go is how I went the last time, oddly enough."

"Well, I guess Yang is gonna laugh at you now." Chris said.

"Oh. I totally forgot about that. Eh, I can take her laughing at me."

"As for the next one, Chef! Results please! Final two!"

"Randy and Julie are on the choppin' block today. Randy, for the reasons Haizaki pointed out about your lackin' performance lately. And Julie, for your Bakugan." Chef said.

"My Bakugan? I can't even really use them everywhere. What kind of a reason is that?" Julie asked, confused.

"Several other people have them on top of the stuff they already do, so they're seein' you as a bit redundant." Chef explained.

"Ohhhh. That makes sense. Not like I want to go or anything but, that makes sense."

"I don't wanna go either!" Randy said.

"Well one of you's going, whether you like it or not. And that person is…"

…..

"Julie!"

She sighed. "What a bummer."

"I wish I could do more to make you feel better, but I cannot." Gorem said, revealing himself.

"Don't worry about it. You just caring is enough."

"Well, I suppose this is-" Rook started to say to Razer before being covered by a sack, same with Ben and Julie. The sacks came from above via helicopter by Doyle.

"FINISH THEM!" Chris called out.

All of them were put onto a slingshot before they were launched into portals. As Chris wanted, thuds were heard as they hit something.

"FATALITY! As for the rest of you, you've been given mercy and are safe. For now." Chris turns to the audience. "And with that, Ben, Rook and Julie are the next to fall into the Total Drama graveyard! Rest in Peace guys! Wonder who will get thrown in next I wonder? Find out on the next episode of Total…..Drama…..Across the Multiverse!"

Hours Later, 1:20 AM

Rick yawned, getting up out of his sleep, alcohol bottle in hand.

"Ah s*it….." He said, sighing before getting up out of the bed to go to the bathroom and realized Morty wasn't in the bed and raised an eyebrow, while Yulaw, their only other roommate, was still sleep. He then dismissed it and made his way to the bathroom. Walking across the rooms, he heard noises from one of them along with a light.

When he walked in front of it, he saw the source of the noises. And Lotte and Morty. On the TV was a demo playthrough of Silent Hill. Both of them had fallen asleep, with the former's head unknowingly on the shoulder of the latter's, PS2 controller in the hand of the former.

He murmurs something that couldn't be understood before he grabbed a cover and put it on the both of them before pressing the green reset button on the PS2. Thinking it was about to go off, he grabbed the remote to turn the TV until the PS2 startup theme was heard blaring, startling him and Morty as the former fumbled with the remote.

"S*it!" Rick said, realizing the mistake he made and tried to quickly turn down the TV. A mistake that could have potentially woken up several people.

"Huh? What?" Morty said, confused, seeing Rick and then shaking his head and going back to sleep. "I'll help you later Rick. Adventure another time…" He said, clearly not fully awake before he closed his eyes again.

Realizing that it wasn't a slim PS2, he turned on the light for a bit before he reached towards the back of the PS2 and used the switch to turn it off before turning the TV off as well. He looked at Morty and Lotte before smiling a little bit and turning the light off.

A/N: And that's it. Like I said, fighting games are a gaming genre that I love a lot so I wanted to really put my best foot forward with this one. Some of the characters and aspects you see here are creative liberties inspired by other things I've seen or other games, e.g. how I think Jotaro would play in an MVC game. Heck, I even learned a few things while writing it too. I haven't played all of the games I included in this chapter, but I do hope to one day, especially the Butoden games. One day, I hope to play all of the DBZ games. And if not all of them, at least the fighting ones. I have a good bit of them but I still haven't added all of them to my collection yet. Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout are genuinely not good games though. But the soundtracks are absolutely incredible. DBZ Taiketsu on the GBA is one game I excluded but that one ain't exactly a good GBA fighter either. As much as I do not like Ultimate Tenkaichi's gameplay and some of the questionable roster exclusions, at least it gets everything else right. I'd play that over the other games I'd mention any day of the week. If you want a DBZ fighting game on the GBA, play Supersonic Warriors 1.

As for my inspiration on the last battle, it was inspired by Yin-Yang Island from MK Deception, which was included here. Changing stages like that one is something unique that no other MK Game I've played or seen has been able to do. I hope dynamic stages like that return one day.

I thought about including Indestructible by The Exile from the Street Fighter IV intro as a little musical, but ultimately, it never made it. Maybe I'll use it for something later on down the line, I don't know.

Magmortar's grappling moves come from King other than the high jump and the slam to the ground. That's from Gigas in Tekken 7. Ironically enough, Incineroar would probably be a better fit for King Moves.

For Electivire, although it really wasn't shown here, I imagined him having some moves and electric wind god fists similar to Heihachi.

And finally, Tiencha. He's not an original idea from me. He's from Budokai 2 actually. Highly overlooked game in the Budokai series imo. Everyone mostly talks about 1, 3, or Burst Limit, the latter just because of the graphics(which still look good for a 2008 game). But anyway, some of Tiencha's moves are from that game as well. The Ultimate is completely original though. His Blast 1 skills like Solar Flare are moves that I'd imagine he'd have if he was ever in the Tenkaichi series(especially Sparking Zero. Imagine him pulling off those moves with modern graphics). Honestly, I'd love to see them actually try creative fusions like this in the actual series but yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.

As for Ben, crazy how this is the second time he's been chosen to be eliminated this way.

And Julie, well, maybe she'll have a spot on the Aftermath show again. I'm sure Bridgette and Geoff wouldn't mind.

I've already said before that I'll enjoy the next episode so there's not much of a reason for me to repeat myself lol.

Until next time!
