"I gotta say, it's a good thing you picked me up when you did." Tony said, "My suit was on reserve power. I probably wouldn't have lasted that long out there."
"Hey, it's no problem, Stark." Cloud replied, "Besides, I was about to go crazy again if I only had myself to talk to… Shut it, Zack. You're just a hallucination. You don't count."
"O-Kay." Tony noted, "Anyways, I think I can reconfigure the tracking system to find some of them via their comms devices… Well, the ones that still have theirs."
"Well, at the very least, most of them should have their universal translators. Can we track them through that?"
"No. They don't give off any kind of special energy signature." Tony replied, "Best case scenario, we find some people who can help us find the rest of them. This program I got up and running should help us find-"
*KZZRRT!*
"Well, never mind then."
"Great…" Cloud sighed, "Well, I guess we pick a direction and go that way. If I found you just by wandering around, maybe we'll run into someone else?"
"Worth a shot… And gods, speaking of shots, I could use one right about now."
The two sat in silence for a good two minutes before Cloud spoke up.
"So, what kind of matchups do you think happened while we were gone?"
"Eh, Beerus was about to fight before we got stranded. Maybe he fought Arceus?"
"They probably did an anime character." Cloud reasoned, "Galaxia from Sailor Moon?"
"There's a thought. Bet she got beaten pretty badly though."
"No doubt. Dragon Ball is a bit crazy like that." Cloud agreed, "DC's a bit crazier though."
"I heard Goku Black and Reverse Flash were a popular matchup. Don't know why, but there's that."
"Evil counterparts?" Cloud offered, "Besides. We all know how that one will end up…" He trailed off.
"Speed Force" The two said simultaneously.
"Good grief, Barry has some serious explaining to do about how that thing works."
"Speaking of Barry, do you think they did anything for Wally?"
"Doubt it. After all the other Speed Force bullshit these guys have, what could get as crazy as that?"
"Maybe Juggernaut?" Cloud asked, "I'll be honest, the only thing I can think of is maybe Sonic."
"Archie's version maybe." Tony shrugged.
"Oh. That's why I thought of that one." Cloud said.
"Hmm… You think they brought in anyone from Soul Eater by this point?"
"Other than Maka, I can't think of any." Cloud answered, "I guess there's Crona vs. that Ryuko girl that Shadow said he was a fan of. It's not like they'd do something stupid like pit Crona against someone like… I dunno… Venom."
"'Oh yeah, let's pit 'has sound as an explicit weakness man' against 'has sound as an explicit weapon…'" Tony trailed off, "Hey, is Crona a guy or a girl?"
"In the words of the Mangaka, 'who cares?'" Cloud answered before getting a funny look, "Yang asked me for some preliminary research, what with her sister fighting Maka and all…"
"Speaking of Yang, do you think any of her teammates got a matchup? Other than her sister, I mean." Tony asked.
"Eh, probably that loner catgirl that left her. Wow. Tifa's grudge against her really rubbed off on me, huh?"
"Eh… Think any of us had rematches or new opponents?"
"If we did, we didn't get transported back to Net City afterwards… Who knows? Maybe you fought Batman or something."
"They'd have to give him the Hellbat suit to make that a fair fight though."
"And they'd probably hand you your Godbuster." Cloud reasoned before trailing off for a bit. "Hey, if Lex came back, who'd he fight?"
"Doom?" Tony asked.
"Well… RIP Lex in that case." Cloud said, "This is fun. Why'd we stop doing it?"
"I think we just stopped doing it in the chat because it devolved into heated arguments and a crowded rez-bay." Tony said, "Actually now that I think about it, we stopped having those discussions altogether. Probably for the same reason"
"I still say that War Machine should have fought Steel." Cloud muttered.
"Yeah, that was… A weird matchup." Tony admitted, "Think they did Batgirl and another Spider?"
"Why? It would just be a repeat of Classic Batman and Classic Spider-Man. Sounds like a waste of time." Cloud replied, "Now, Barbara against Kim Possible, now there's a matchup."
"Yeah. Redheaded acrobats. Because that's so original. Seriously man, just say you want something like Azula vs. Cinder if you're going off of color schemes so much."
"Eh, better than something like Korra vs. Storm." Cloud said, "Like… Give Korra a different elemental user at the very least."
"Why not Rey?" Tony asked.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!" The two laughed after ten seconds.
"Okay, sorry. I couldn't say that with a straight face. Those two just have 'next generation protagonist' going for them and that's about it for them."
"I mean, there's the ways the fanbases reacted to them." Cloud said, wiping away a tear, "But at that point, may as well have an explosion and kill them both to satisfy both hatedoms."
"Speaking of unbridled hate, what about Broly? The new one, I mean."
"Isn't he the exact opposite of hate?" Cloud asked, "I guess… Hulk? Or maybe Asura? Who knows really?"
"What about movie characters? Think they brought in any of those?"
"Zack's bugging me with a bunch of Shrek quotes right now, so I have Dreamworks on the brain… I'd say either Hiccup or Po."
"The Panda?"
"Yes, the Panda!"
"… You were waiting for that, weren't you?"
"Either him and Iron Fist, or Tai Lung vs. Peach." Cloud shrugged, "But I'll have to put my money on Tai Lung for that one."
"Cloud, if this is another reference to the movie, I swear-"
"Because a Peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!"
"Screw you, I hope that Sephiroth joins Smash Ultimate."
"Pfft! Like that would ever happen. Next thing you'll tell me is that Yoda fought King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts." Cloud laughed.
"When we get back, I'm spamming the suggestion form with that." Tony threatened.
"It'll be a long trip. May want to get a lot of suggestions ready." Cloud replied, "Who knows? Maybe your friend, the Scarlet Witch can fix this mess."
"Wanda's pretty strong, I'd hope that she could maybe do something about this…" Tony muttered.
Pinkie: This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was. And, they'll continue singing it forever, just because This is the song that never ends…

Pinkie: I sing when I'm stressed, okay? Would you rather I do Winter Wrap-Up instead?
