Roleplay:Cosmic Championship

Once in every existence, a mysterious force calls upon powerful fighters from across the multiverse to compete in a tournament of epic preportions. Sixteen fighters will compete in a four-round tournament, and the last one standing will challenge the reigning champion for the true title. Once your character is registered, you will enter your info in Fighter Stats. Fight stats requires: Upon doing so, I will observe the character's page (if he/she has one) and set up the matches based on their moves and other information. Godmodding will not be tolerated. Compatability will be based on the character's backround information, and whether or not the character has a super form/access to chaos energy. If I see a character to be acting in an unfair/illogical manner, it will be dealt with immediately. The match-ups will be determined once all sixteen fighters have entered their stats. Spectator chat is limited to the Stadium (Audience). Fighters who are not currently in a match will talk in the Locker Room. Other basic rules are as follows:
 * one to five moves
 * one or two finishers
 * one to five super form moves (optional)
 * one or two super form finishers (optional)
 * swearing is to be kept to a minimum. Excessive swearing will be censored
 * sexual content is not allowed. Kissing, flirting, etc. will be restricted to the Stadium (Audience). The arena is no place for being romantic
 * no trolling or harassing other users
 * out of character talk is restricted to the talk page
 * no controlling your opponents actions. This is common in roleplays and I don't think it's very fair Example: He threw a punch and it was a direct hit.  He threw a punch.
 * there is no plot, so don't try to make one. You can back up whatever storylines you want in the Stadium (Audience) or the Locker Room, but other than that, it's just fights. No villain, no threat, just fights
 *  THE BASIC RULES OF KNOCK DOWNS 

It's just something I feel like I should address to keep things fair. When you are knocked down, a timer begins. At that point, it is ultimately your decision whether or not to get up. However, you still must avoid godmodding or anything similar. If you are knocked down early in the match, then you should probably get up. If it's late in the match and you've taken a heavy beating, then you should probably stay down. In the latter situation, though, you can still get up (it's your decision) but make it believable. Struggle, show weakness, be creative. There are also rules involving super forms. If you are in a super form upon being knocked down, then you should probably get up. If your opponent is in a super form, then the situation should be similar to the rule regarding late knock downs. If you are both in super forms, then they cancel eachother out. You can also pull off a pinch change. A pinch change can only happen if you have yet to use your super form. If you are knocked down, then you can activate your super form and get up with more strength than you normally would. That is a pinch change. Sorry if it's a little long. I just wanted to make sure everyone understood what is reasonable and what isn't. Remember, it's your decision!

With all of this in mind, fighters and spectators alike are now free to enjoy the Cosmic Championship

Stadium (Audience)
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare... for what is to come.

Inferna: i wonder how Tendril will do.

Tsunami: he's strong. and smart. i dont think we should be worried.

Cyclone: you sure about that? his new powers have made him a little.....arrogant.

Quake: like you?

Cyclone: i dont know what you're talking about

Flare: oh please. of course you're arrogant. it comes from your ability to suffocate people at will.

(Soro seems nervous)

Soro: I hope she'll be okay...

Inferna: who?

Soro: Huh? Oh, my friend Nora... She tends to go into things that may cause trouble... She always does...

Quake: Nora? as in Kouba? i think i know her.

A pink echidna with purple hair walked in and took a seat. "Looks like I won't be watching TV, then..oh well, this is much more exciting." She said to herself. She looked around, waiting for everything to begin.

Inferna: *to the echidna* what's your name?

Soro: Oh really? Well I'm her...

(Hears the large thud caused by Nora punching through the wall)

Soro: *sigh* The 1st round hasn't even started yet and she's already causing trouble... That's Nora for you!

She looked over at Inferna. "My name's Pearl. What's your name?" She said brightly.

Inferna: Pyra. but i prefer to be called Inferna.

Flare: *to Soro* could've been Tendril. he's been a bit arrogant lately.

"Nice to meet you, Inferna." She smiled. She then looked down in the direction of the locker rooms. "Gosh, I wonder what happened down there..."

(Soro's feathers ruffle up as he got a chill)

Soro: You probably don't want to know...

Pearl looked over at Soro with concern, then looked back down not saying anything.

Tsunami: no worries, no one's hurt down there. and it was Nora by the way.

(Soro looks up at Pearl)

Soro: Hmm? What is it? Something on my face? Or you just never saw a winged hedgehog before?

(She wasn't still looking at him, by the way.)

She looked back at him. "Oh, no. That wasn't it." She said. "I've seen a winged hedgehog before..come to think of it, why do you have wings, anyway?"

(Soro looked away, it shows that wasn't the first time he was asked that)

Soro: Well, I don't know... My parents didn't have wings, nor my grandparents... The doctors presumed it as a birth defect...

No normal birth defect gives you wings...whether they work or not. She thought. Something must have happened to him. She then noticed him looking away. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

Soro: Nah, it's okay. Infact, the thing you said about another winged hedgehog kinda made me feel a little better... Like, I'm not... so different.

"Hehe. I'm glad." She said. Poor thing. She thought. ''I'd better not talk too much about her here. I might cause some trouble, mentioning Cymbeline's origins.''

Soro: Eh, I don't care about it that much though... The only thing I care about right now, is Nora making it out alive!

Teal: *peeks over the railing* When are they gonna start?

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be alright. I doubt they'd allow killing in this tournament." She said encouragingly. She then paused for a few moments. "....Do they?"

MHF: No. Upon dealing a successful finishing blow, the loser is sent back to the immediately Locker Room. That, however, does not prevent fighters from becoming fatally injured.

Soro: O_O;;;

Pearl fell silent, with a large sweat drop rolling down the side of her face.

MHF: ...But then again, I don't run the championship, so I shouldn't be the one spewing out information. *looks to pearl and smiles*

Pearl gave a fake laugh, but still felt uneasy. "Y-yeah..Of course." I hope Smash will pull through alright...

(Soro does a facepalm)

(Soro then heard a explosion, and then he sighed while his wings drooped)

Soro: If you had a list of people you least wanted to meet, Nora in her Anger Mode will be on the top!

Inferna: i might be able to think of a few scarier beings

Soro: What's scarier then a Short-tempered seedrian who carries a over 200lb EX guitar on her back who also can blast mulitple lazars?

Teal: And took down the lord of darkness!

Soro: She didn't take down a lord.... it was a god... >>

Tsunami: how about the ancient beings Ultima and Hypra who, with their constant conflict, have caused insane amounts of chaos ultimately destroying each other, all happening once every hundred years

Flare: *adds* since the dawn of time itself

Teal: Well, I was captured and starved for a week, so maybe I wasn't thinking staight, Soro! So kill me.

Soro: I must admitt, Nora did tell me it was really the shadow of the god Loki she fought before... But none of the less wanted to destory the world... She also told me the real Loki was sick because his shadow was using him... But that happened around a year ago, she probably won't say anything if you ask her, she tends to leave the past behind! That, or she has memory as short as her temper...

(Soro looks down, his feather ruffled again)

Soro: But, I know Nora is strong.. but.. I can't help but.... worry about her safety.....

(Soro started blushing)

Teal: I can just SENSE that you're about to launch into a speech about how you and Nora aren't "together" and that you're only friends. Trust me, I've memorized it.

(Soro glared at Teal, and then covered his face with his wings to hide his blushing)

Pearl just giggled at how easy it was to read Soro's feelings and mind.

MHF: *walks over to Soro and examines his wings* Hmm, apologies if I am making you uncomfortable, but I couldn't help notice these magnificant wings of yours. Quite a gift you have.

(Soro lifts his wings from his face)

Soro: Well... that's... uh... a first!

MHF: I fail to see why. You shouldn't be ashamed of them, for they are truly a thing to be admired. Healthy, too, by the looks of it. Do you fly often?

Soro: Yes, quite alot... But I still think it's rather freakish for a hedgehog to have wings... and that other ability...

MHF: Freakish? Heavens no! Anything that can be put to good use is a wonderful thing in my eyes. I also happen to know a hedgehog with wings just like you... or rather, knew a hedgehog. And you said something about another ability. Would you mind sharing?

Soro: Well, I also have the ability to fully control wind... Unlike my wings, my wind ability does have a background because my grandfather also had the same ability. My father said it skips a generation, that's why I have it, and he doesn't.

MHF: Well then... why don't we play a little game of catch. *raises hand, it glows red. A rock from down next to the ring flys into the air* Hmhmhm... Catch!

(Soro lets out a sigh, but then practically vanished as he bursted into the air and snatched the rock and then quickly went back to his seat)

Soro: Is that what you wanted me to do? I don't like showing off much...

MHF: Well, I wouldn't call it showing off. If you can do it, then do it. If you maybe looped around the rock a few times first, that would be showing off. What I'm trying to say is... you shouldn't be afraid to embrace your gifts.

Soro: I only use them when I have to, unlike Nora. Her entering this championship is a example...

Tikala: *a tanish echidna heads out to the front near Soro with a small child by her side* okay Espiata now dont get mad if daddy losses okay?

Espiata: okay mommy. i hope dad can win.

Tikala: i hope so to honey. i hope so.

Pearl gasped softly. "Look! They're starting!" She leaned forward to see Darkness stepping into the ring. "It sounds like your friend Nora will be fighting this one." She said, looking Soro at the corner of her eye.

Tsunami: *looks up at the tournament board* Tendril's in the third match.

(Soro sat up looking unfazed about the anoucement, but the fact he's sweating a little couldn't be avoided)

MHF: *gazes at Soro* Ah... you have feelings for her, don't you?

Tikala: *sitting close to Soro and over hears the MHF* dont worry there both good fighters. Darkness knows when he can or cant win and he knows when to stop. so no worry right?

"He's going unarmed, too." Pearl added. "Unarmed against a giant....Is that a guitar?"

Inferna: looks like it.

"Ah heh...That's new." She laughed nervously. That was the last thing I expected to see...

''Pearl suddenly got excited. "There's Smash down there!" She pointed, looking at Ring 2. "His match is here!" She cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted "Good Luck, Smash! I'm rooting for ya!"''

Voice: Repeat, Arc to ring two...

MHF: Ah, my cue. *jumps over the seats, and down into the ring*

Quake: so, that means Tendril's match is that much closer.

A mobian bear appears high in the stands, taking one of the empty seats that no-one else seemed to want. "A gladiatorial contest." He said. "I can enjoy this."

Pearl stood from her seat and cheered, Smash had won his first match.

Tikala: ummm this is to much sweetie *covers Espiata's eyes from seeing darkness fly with black wings and no legs*

Espiata: but mooooom this is a good way to test sight adapatation....

Tikala: yes..... alright but no trying this here.

Espiata: yes mom. *after tikala uncover her eyes if anybody looks they look as if they were blood red and pitch black*

Split: *walks in* I hope I'm not late! Stupid hoverboard...*runs over to Soro* Hey Soro! ^_^

Lumina and Tsunami: *see Tendril being stranggled. try to run into the ring and help*

Inferna, Cyclone and Quake: *hold them back*

Inferna: come on Tendril....

Quake: *notices Split* hey. dont i know you?

(Eclipse appears in the stands)

Eclipse: Arc! Don't hide from me. I know you're still here.

MHF(Arc): *reappears* Well, long time no see, Crymnian scum.

Split: *nods and wiggles her ears happily* Yep! I helped you defeat Darem with Nora Kouba! ^_^

Espiata: ''Desmont!? mom! that demon that copied dad's blood sychthe's is Desmont!''

Tikala: yes i know. i hope Darkness know's how to handle him better than last time.

Pearl watched Nora's battle with confusion. "Uhh..I don't know what's going on now. But I'm pretty sure this is breaking a rule or two."

Arc: *watching Nora Vs. Darkness* This isn't good. Eclipse! Whatever you want can wait. I'm going down there to help straighten things out. *flys down to ring one*

Soro: That... was the last thing I'd expect from the battle... What Nora said just now... was HIGHLY predictable.

Arc: *flys in* Ah, there you are Soro. I apologize for being so secretive earlier. How do you feel knowing that you aren't the only hedgehog here with wings?

(Soro is in a daze)

Duan: Sorry I'm late, guys, I was gonna be in this contest, but it was full. At least I get to watch people get the toast kicked out of them, and it's even better that RMG-24 isn't here.

Tsunami: hey Duan. i was wondering where you were

Duan: Well, here I am, I can just sit here, watch battles, and not have to worry about RMG-24. (Took a seat next to Tsunami)

Cyclone: who's this?

Inferna: Tsunami's date.

Duan: (Watching Tendril vs. Aero) Tendril is gonna OWN Aero!

Tsunami: yup. Tendril's one of my friends

Duan: Really? I don't know Tendril very well, but from what I heard, there's a strong fighter in that guy!

Tsunami: you bet there is. he is the king of the Shadow Realm after all. when you team him up with part of the spirit of Ultima, they are a powerful team.

Duan: Oh, that is just AWESOME!!! I wonder how he'd do against RMG-24... Naw, that wouldn't even be a match.

Tsunami: yeah. i dont think a robot would do too well against the magnetic spirit of Nightfall

Duan: Especially if he figures out where his memory chip is, it doesn't matter whether he goes into Memory Conservation Mode or not.

Tsunami: yup. Tendril is indeed a powerfull warrior.

Duan: If anyone manages to beat him, they'll have to be immortal or at lest all-powerful.

Tsunami: not quite. i could probably beat him if i release my Ultima part.

Duan: Yeah, I suppose so. I might be able to beat him If I go Hendrix Duan. I wouldn't necessarily be unbeatable, but I'd be pretty darn close.

Pearl's eyes widened. "Kyle..? I didn't know he was here." She said, surprised.

Locker Room
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare..... for what is to come.

(Nora lied down with her eyes closed, but was smirking)

Tendril: what do you have to smile about?

Eclipse: She's probably happy that she doesn't have to do anything yet. I, on the other hand, am not. *walks over to the corner and watches the door*

Tendril: heh. we're just eager to show our strength.

Smash walked through the entrance right as the voice began to make the announcement. He took a look around the area, the locker room made him feel almost at home. Feels almost just like the Blitz Pit. He thought to himself. He listened to the rest of the announcement, and rose his eyebrows. "Techinical difficulties? Hm..." Well, I might as well make myself comfortable, and get ready like the man said. He then set his shoulder bag of stuff down beside a chair, and started to do a few stretches before sitting down.

Krinkinko: Hey Smash! Long time no see!

Tendril: Smash and Krink. i remember you two.

Aero:(Shrugs then walks in the room)What is this place I just got an email there was fighting here so I came.

Smash smiled a little. "Hey Krink, Tendril, How've you guys been?"

Tendril: pretty good, you?

"Ah, I've been alright. So, you guys happy to be in a real tournament this time?" He asked, referring to the events of the Shadow Crystal Cloud tournament.

Tendril: yeah. Nightfall and i are eager to show our new skills. *grins*

Krinkinko: (Grins) What do you mean by real this tournament has a sponsor! (playing dumb)

Summer:*hanging by his feet on one of the pull-up bars* This is harder than it AH! *falls*

"Yeah, A sponser with no intents on universal domination." Smash said in a sarcastic tone. He then heard a thump on the floor, and looked towards the pull-up bars. "Hey, you okay over there?" He called.

Voice: What's the point in dominating the universe when I am already a controlling body in it?

Tendril:hey. whats your name?

Summer: Summer. Hey.... you look kinda like someone my dad once told me about. *stands up* Have you ever met a 'Static the Hedgehog'? And yes, I'm ok.

Smash looked at Krinkinko. "Static The Hedgehog...Hm, I know I've never heard of him."

Tendril: no. my name's Shade Nightwing. but i prefer to be called Tendril

Krinkinko: Smash, how's Pearl doing? She saved our skins last time. If your wondering Rachel's doing just fine.

Summer: Ok... so, Tendril, you said you know Nightfall?

Tendril: yup. in a way, your looking at him.

"She's doing great." He said. "She couldn't come, but she said that she'll watch us on TV. And that's also good to hear."

Voice: *Sigh* I suppose I'll televise it.

Summer: *to the voice* Hey buddy in the roof, tell me WHY exactly you had to kidnap me again?

"Huh?" Smash's eyebrows rose high. "Was this not already going to be broadcasted? I'd expect something as big as this would have at least someone recording it all. And what's this I'm hearing about a kidnapping?"

Voice: It wasn't a kidnapping, it was a summoning. You should be honoured to even be in this sacred place.

Summer: You mean nearly getting killed by ninjas and being responsible for the death of about 10 civilians? Yeah, TOTALLY a summoning!

Krinkinko: Who said summoning because I have a new summon!

Voice: I had nothing to do with such things. I brought you here, and I brought everyone else here. You don't want to make me angry. You can finish this squabling amoungst yourselves. Even the omnipotent get stressed...

Summer: *sighs and thinks* Yeah, because your ninjas did it.... *out loud* alright. *turns to Tendril* I feel like I can only relate to you. You use darkness too, right?

Smash frowned, looking a little confused. "Uh, I don't think there's anything to finish between us three, I mean I didn't have anything to do with that either. I just wanted to know why this wasn't being broadcasted before..And where exactly ARE you, anyway?"

Tendril: yeah, im an umbra.

Summer: Nice to meet you. Anyways..... *sits down* what next?

Tendril: not sure.

Smash sighed and sat down back at his seat. "I just want to have a normal tournament. No evil overlords, no ninjas, just..plain..competition." He said, sounding tired of it all.

Tendril: So, Nora. how are you doing?

(Nora acts asleep)

Summer: *picks up a stick he found randomly on the floor and begins to poke Nora* Wake up, sleepyhead.

Voice: (to Smash only) You will have a normal tournament. Whatever ninjas were there, they were not my doing. However, this is not exactly a common tournament. I can bring anyone you wish to observe your fights in the stadium, but to televise it across the multiverse is a large feat, even for one such as myself.

"Hm, I suppose that does make sense." Smash said, nodding. Since this won't be televised, I'll ask you to bring my sister. But first, just who exactly are you, anyway? And where are you?"

Voice: (again only to Smash) The deed is done. Now, you are aware of the multiverse, correct? All I wish to tell you now is that I am a being who can not exist soely in one Zone, but in all of them. You are a great warrior, and I have a feeling that you will go far in this tournament. At that time you shall learn more...

"The Multiverse...Yes, I have a pretty good idea what that is." Smash said. I've had some experience in the past with such matters... He thought. "Yes, I see. Thank you for the compliment. I will do my best, and won't disappoint you."

Tendril: *chuckles softly* oh Smash, you can't possibly hope to beat me with my new powers.

(Nora snaps Summer's stick, she didn't look too happy)

Nora: Do you poke everybody who's taken a nap with a stick? I'm not worried about this, unlike you blokes, I don't give a care if I lost or not! I lost many times in the Grand Prix, so it's not a big a deal in this championship either. I'm just entering because I'm darn bored....

(Nora knockes her headset's glasses down covering her eyes, but you can tell she went back to sleep)

Smash rose his eyebrow at him. "Maybe, But we don't know that yet!" He said. "I may not have any "Special Givings", but that ain't gonna stop me."

Eclipse: Just hope that neither of you are in the same half of the bracket as I, or else you won't make it far.

Tendril: you really believe that? ha. i've got more up my sleeve than my last tournament. you know what im talking about, dont you Smash?

(Nora raises her glasses revealing her deep blue eyes)

Nora: Ya thinkin' because I'm some flower, I'm suppose to be weak, huh? Well, be careful dude, because some flowers have thorns!

(Nora places her glasses on top of her head again)

Eclipse: Look, *gazes at each fighter* I don't plan on losing. This tournament showcases the great. I will not fall to anyone, not even... flowers.

Tendril: *chuckles* ever face part of the ancient villain Ultima and an umbrakinetic at the same time? didn't think so.

Smash folded his arms. "I'm not saying anyone in here is weak, I know you're all strong. Words alone will not prove your strength, so save it for the tournament." He eyed Tendril at the corner of his eye. "That means you. I know you're powerful, but I still remain unphased."

Eclipse: An umbrakinetic is nothing. I've faced the spirit of a psycokinetic, the strongest in the multiverse, and one. Did you do that? Didn't think so.

(Nora swings her heavy guitar right next to Eclipse's head with one hand)

Nora: I'm stronger then I look, so watch your mouth or I'll just go ahead and remove it!

(Nora draws back her guitar and places it on her back)

Nora: But I do have a reason to win... But it's not a big deal!

(Eclipse stared at the guitar, chuckled, then stayed silent)

Tendril: still never faced a part of Ultima. i'd know. *to Smash* you haven't seen my new powers.

"So?" Smash said, raising his eyebrow. "I'm not saying I did. What I'm saying is shut up with the gloating."

(Nora heard Eclipse chuckle and knowning she can't attack till her round, she took her anger on the wall and punched a hole right through it, then she yawned and went to "sleep")

Tendril: someone's got a temper

Smash sighed, holding his forehead. "This'll be a long day."

(Nora woke up lifted her head towards everybody)

Nora: Uh, when's the round gonna start again?

Smash just shrugged. "I don't know. Sponser said they were facing technical difficulties, last I heard."

Tendril: we're probably just waiting for the other competetors

Nora: Oh, well okay then...

(Nora placed her guitar up against the wall and started really sleeping on it)

Smash, out of curiosity, walked towards the hole in the wall and peeked out.

(a small flame appears in the hole and starts laughing)

"Hey, I can see the-UURRGHII!!" In an instant, Smash threw a nearly lightning quick punch at the flame out of fright.

flame: *keeps laughing, growing bigger*

(Nora goes evasive and appears on the other side of the locker room staring at the flame)

Nora: Uh... What the heck is that thing?

Flame: *grows and becomes Tendril*

Tendril: *sitting in the hole, half of him was red and orange instead of his normal black and purple* im the fire in the hole.

Summer: Oh, ha ha ha, Tendril. *looks at broken stick* .....sorry stick.

Smash performed a backflip, getting away from the flame. "I don't know, but I don't like it!" he then saw as it changed to Tendril, and rolled his eyes. "Gimmie a break, man.."

Tendril: *becomes shadow and goes back to his seat, back to normal now*

Summer: *one of his quills begins twitching* so, what are we gonna do while some people are sitting around drinking soda rather than get over here?

Tendril: *shrugs* dunno

"Yeah, it's painfully obvious that some people are getting bored, right now." Smash sighed, sounding a bit annoyed.

Summer: *goes over to the bars and begins to hang from his feat again* Wake me when I need to wake up. *closes eyes*

(Out of boredom, Nora starts doing graffiti on the walls with a spray can)

Aero:Thats it!I'm taking a nap.(Lies on the couch in the locker room and starts to snore)

Liger: What up, various species?

Aero:(Woke up then quickly lifted his head towards Liger)Who the heck are you?

Tendril: *eyes Liger*

Liger: I am Liger Moyasu. My tail flame speaks for it self.

Tendril: a pyro eh? hmph. you wont go far if you're fighting me.

???: Enough! *the voice came from the wall behind Tendril*

Liger: Is that so?

Eclipse: Hm? *looks towards the voice in the wall, seemingly interested*

Tendril: *looks at the wall* what did you say to me?

Tendril's shadow: *climbs off the wall and looks Tendril in the eye* i said enough! i've had it with your arrogant atitude! you've had it since Nightfall sealed his soul inside you and i'm sick of it!

Smash glared towards Tendril's direction. "Yeah. Whether you're as good as you're boasting, no one wants to hear you brag and gloat about how badly you'll beat them before the tournament even starts! You're just grating on everyone's nerves, hence that hole in the wall! So CAN IT!"

Tendril: *ignores Smash. stands and faces his shadow* you will not talk to your master that way!

Tendril's shadow: i'll talk to my master anyway i want!

Tendril: i made you loyal to me and me alone!

Tendril's shadow: you also gave me a brain! and with that came free will!

Nora: Wow, a animated shadow... Now doesn't that remind me of someone I know...

(Nora spoke sarcasticly, and finished putting her name on the wall)

Tendril: *rolls eyes* i dont have to take this from my own shadow! *walks off*

Tendril's shadow: *sigh. turns to the others* hey. could you guys do me a favor?

Smash sighed and then looked at the shadow. "What is it?"

Tendril's shadow: if your first match is with Tendril, give him one heck of a fight. even if you cant beat him, at least give it everything you've got. knock him off his high horse. show him that just because he's two beings now, dosen't make him a god.

"Oh I sure as heck WILL!" Smash said, cracking his knuckles. "If I don't win, I'll take him down with me. Of course, that's only if I do end up fighting him."

(the spray paint shifted to say "Nice Try" and splashed onto Nora's face)

Tendril's shadow: thank you.

(a clank was heard and Tendril was thrown back in the room, tiny cuts on his cheek. a black hedgehog with glowing silver streaks and sharp knuckle spikes walks in.)

Nightfall: Tendril. your shadow is right. your out of control.

"No proble-" Smash was interrupted by the clank, and then looked over at Nightfall. ''This guy looks pretty tough. Especially if he's going at Tendril outside of the tournament. But hey, he deserved it.''

Tendril: *to Nightfall* i dont know what your talking about.

Nightfall: yes you do. im talking about you acting all high and mighty just because you have me to back you up! you need to cool it with the attitude.

Aero:(Finally he flashed his eyes open and sat straight up)All of you your strong but there is no need for bragging like little kids who won a basketball game unless you are just kids.

(Nora's fury showed more intense then before, if she could control fire, the whole building would be burnt! But instead, she started blasting lazars at the wall until she did a Complex Lazar and blew the whole thing up)

Nora: WHEN IS IT MY ROUND SO I CAN BEAT THE CRUD OUT OF MY OPPONENT!?!?!?!?!?

(the lasers are held suspended at their end-points. Nothing is blown up)

Voice: Please, Miss Kouba, save this... fury, for the battles. They will begin as soon as the remaining four fighters arrive.

(the lasers disappear)

Smash looked at Nora. "Cool it, will ya? You're not making this any easier for the rest of us." He turned and walked to sit back down in his chair.

Tendril: *smirks*

Nightfall: *to Tendril* you too!

Tendril: why should i?

Nightfall: simple. *glares into his eyes* you don't cool it, and maybe i'll go hang out in Flare for a while. got it?

Tendril: right. sorry.

Nightfall: good *nods to Nora and Summer. opens his mouth and a silver mist pours out and into Tendril's mouth. body collapses into a pile of metal dust*

Aero:Hmm witch one would be the best to rob (looks at Smash)That should do!

Voice: Ah, another challenger arrives...

(nobody enters the room)

Voice: ...Four remain. The moment of truth approaches

Smash sat down at his chair, and waited patiently.

Eclipse: *looks up* What are you talking about? There's no one else here. Still the twelve of us. *sigh*

Voice: *chuckles*

Tendril: *closes his eyes and begins to focus*

The doors opened, and a cyan hedgehog walked inside slowly. Strapped to his back was a sword with 6 gems on the handle, and a blue backpack with red straps. He looked around, seeing most of the fighters inside. "This must be the Locker Room..." He said softly. He then noticed the hole in the wall. "What happened here?"

Tendril's shadow: *gestures to Nora* she got mad

He looked over at Nora and frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Kyle?" Smash stood up from his seat, looking at the hedgehog.

"Smash! Hello there, friend." Kyle walked towards him, and the two shook hands. "I did not expect to see you here."

"Likewise. How have you been?" The two began chatting like old friends.

Tendril: *ignoring them. opens his eyes and at the same time says* Dark Eye. *his eyes reverse colors, each one becoming it's opposite. his pupils became white, the whites became black, and his red irises became green. looks around. his gaze stops at Aero. points at him* you. bandit. dont even think about it.

Summer: Nightfall! How's it been going, buddy? *adjusts a device strapped to his wrist*

(Nora fell asleep again, she seems to do that after every time she gets mad)

Nora: *snores*

Tendril: *to Summer* you know Nightfall left right? i can release him if you want to talk to him

Aero:Heh hehe I know I'm a bandit and trust me if you got any gold hand it over or your not gonna like where your going to Die!

Tendril's shadow: *rolls eyes* and i thought Tendril was acting like a jerk.

Aero:I heard that!(takes a deep breath)The only reason I became a Bandit!Is because people treated me as an outcast!Do you know what thats like huh huh!

Tendril's shadow: in a way yes. until the Shadow Crystal Cloud Tournament i could've sworn i was the only living shadow in existence.

Tendril: i haven't but i bet i can top that.

Nora: I can't, I'm just a run away who likes to spray "tags" on walls...

(Nora woke up)

Tendril: i've had an experience far worse than anything you've gone through, bandit.

Aero:Really you have been sent on fire and had all your fur burned completely grey other then a few brown stripes!

Tendril: ever lost a family member? well i've lost my whole home town! and on my sixth birthday too!

Aero:I lost my whole village everybody died except me and my brothers!

Tendril: yeah, lucky you. i had no one! everyone in my home town was killed by a random army of light beasts! I was all alone until i met Tsunami.

Eclipse: Will you two SHUT UP! Your lives suck, we get it! It's not a contest to see who's lamer! Now please... I'm trying to concentrate.

"Thank you." Smash said, sounding aggravated. "Don't you guys have anything better to do? I mean, really?"

Tendril: not until the fight starts.

"So until then, just keep your bickering to yourself." He said. "That goes for all of you. I'm tired of hearing all that crap, it's an endless contest to top eachother! 'I'm gonna win the tournament!' 'You won't get past me.' 'I've beat an army!' 'I've beat a navy!' 'I'm an outcast!' 'I'm wanted in 15 countries!' 'I'm the only one that likes me!' Just stop. No one wants to hear all of that." He then looked at Aero. "And if I catch you stealing anything in here, that will be it. Do I make myself clear?"

Tendril: *shrugs*

Eclipse: *grabs Tendril by the neck* I'm not one for rules, and I don't feel like waiting for four other fighters to kick your ass. Do I make myself clear?

(Nora just goes back to sleep, but heard everything)

Tendril: *becomes liquid shadow and falls to the floor. reforms and walks back to his seat* you've both made yourselves crystal clear. im done arguing with you guys.

Voice: Would Nora and Darkness please report to the ring. Nora and Darkness to the ring.

Darkness: alright. il head out. *comes out of his portable coffin* time to get started! *heads out to the ring*

Smash looked up. "Well it's about TIME!" He said in a snarky tone. "The first match is finally getting underway."

"Has it really been that long?" Kyle asked.

"You were only here a  third  of the time we were waiting." Smash said in a chuckle. "Anyway, They must have their tournament board written out now. Lets go take a look, shall we?"

Kyle nodded. "Yes, lets." The two of them walked to check out the tournament board. i.e, seeing who was facing who.

The two looked at the board. "Hmm..Lets see here..." Smash ran his finger across it. "Hey, there's you. You're up against Krinkinko, that should be interesting."

"Do you know him?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, we met a couple weeks back." He replied, and looked back at the board. "And I'm up against...Arc, huh?" He looked around. "Hm...I don't think I saw him in here..." He glanced at Kyle, who shook his head. "Well, I'm gonna start training. I'm gonna get the warmups out of the way before my battle." He headed towards the pull-up bars and the rest of the training equipment. Kyle turned and walked towards the doors leading to the ring, and watched the match between Nora and Darkness.

The door to Ring 2 suddenly appeared. Kyle, being the closest one to it, was the first to react. "Oh, my.." He said, his eyes widened.

"Ah! Thats me." Smash marched towards the door. "That was quicker than I thought."

Tendril: sooo......

Kyle watched Smash's battle intently. He was amazed by all the events transpiring inside, and couldn't take his eyes away. "Could that be an Angel that Smash is fighting?....That was a smart move....Oh, my..." Were some of his comments. "I did not realize that Smash was capable of such feats...And Arc, he is truly powerful to have parried that."

Eclipse: *watching Smash Vs. Arc* Hm... Arc, looks like you lose again, old friend...

Kyle looked over at Eclipse. "Pardon? I'm sorry, Were you speaking to me?" He asked, as he had not quite heard him properly.

Eclipse: *looks to Kyle* ...Shoudln't you be preparing. Krinkinko is an admirable foe, or so I have heard. You'll need all the practice you can get. *looks back at the monitor with the match-up listings*

Aero:Now that Smash's fight is done could we start my fight!(Stares at the board)Tendril You have no idea whats coming.

Eclipse: *looks to Tendril* You're up next. Don't get too cocky, Nightwing. *shifts gaze to Aero* Same goes for you, thief.

"You are right, I should be getting prepared." Kyle admitted. "I just wanted to know how Smash would do on his first round."

Smash then walked through the door. Man, that was pretty rough. He thought. But from now on, I'm going to amp up my training a bit. He began to walk towards the workout equipment before he heard,

"Congratulations, Smash." Kyle smiled at him. "I can forsee you getting far in this tournament."

"Thanks, Kyle. But honestly, I dunno how far I'll really get here." He said with a sort of frown.

"What do you mean?"

Smash put his hands on his hips. "Lets put it this way. Look at all the fighters here." Kyle looked around the room. "All these fighters have something special about them. For starters, Krinkinko has that Leaf blade, and other unique skills and that giant ball of death he used in the last tournament. You have a sword as well. Not just any sword, but the Gemblade. So you can use magic with it, which makes you a formiddable opponent. The guy I just fought was an angel. 'Nuff said about him. Tendril over there just fused with someone, n' I don't even know if that's legal or not. That Nora girl has a giant GUITAR that she probably whacks people with. Some of these guys have telekinetic powers and I'm willing to bet that more than half the people here utilize Chaos abilities. i.e Chaos Spear, etc. And what about me? I'm just..me. I only fight with my bare hands, only got close range, and I can barely go super on my own strength, which I thought was like a gift, a unique gift that I wrapped for myself, but now I've seen people are far stronger than I am. They can do these things like it's normal, while I struggle to keep that one special form for a whole minute."

Kyle listened carefully and nodded. "That is true...But listen, you managed to win this first battle-"

"Only 'cause I got lucky." He interrupted. "This next battle I need to win on my own. And if I'm even the slightest bit unprepared I'll be down for the count."

Kyle frowned. He wasn't sure what he meant by 'I got lucky', as he didn't see or hear Vendetta's spirit.

"Starting now, I'm going to train myself harder than ever before." He said. "You should get ready too, Kyle. You may be armed, but you never know what'll happen." He then proceeded towards the training equipment, not even bothering to rest after his battle.

"...He is right." Kyle said to himself. He took a deep breath before going to train himself.

Dusk:....*starts playing on his guitar*

Eclipse: *walks over to Smash* I hate to admit it, but you did well for your first fight against Arc. Granted, he was going incredibly easy on you the whole time, but still. Just know this... In round three, I won't go easy on you. That is, if you make it that far. *walks away chuckling*

Smash glared at him at the corner of his eye. No need to rub it in, I already know he was going easy. He thought frustratedly. ''Whoa, it just hit me. What exactly I need to do...In order to get that form to last longer, I have to make it feel normal..so..I'll just act like a normal person, in that form. If I go about my regular business, I'll forget all about that form and maintain it. And then when I NEED that form....'' He ended his thoughts with a smirk. ..Brilliance, if it works. He stood up from the bench press and tensed his muscles, and focused his energy. "Urrr...URRGHII!" In a blast of energy, he quickly changed to his High Tension state. Now I just need to control it, level it down a bit, conserve...and then do something else. His lightblue aura weakened, and he began doing regular stretches.

Kyle drew his sword and began practicing his fencing skills.

Eclipse: *observing Smash* Impressive... I suppose. *whispers something inaudible. A flame appears at Smash's feet* Just be careful you don't... burn yourself out. I don't want you to get eliminated too easily. I think I might actually be looking forward to a fight with you. *looks to Summer* I know I'll be making it *smirks* but you I'm not so sure about. Good luck... you'll need it. *teleports away*

Smash looked at the flames at his feet, and his eyebrows shot up in surprise. He then gave Eclipse a look that was on its own an inaudible snarky comment before he teleported away. He then put out the flames and kept doing light training. ''This guy's also pretty cocky. Almost a hypocrite.'' He thought.

Dusk stretches out his huge dragon wings, then folds them behind his back again, but leaves them visible. He then sighs and draws his claws and starts filing them to a sharper point. "These fights are always easy. *YAWN* I don't know why I enter...Oh yeah, I'm bored...*shrug* Oh well."

Smash then stopped stretching after letting out a bit of a yawn. "I think it's high time I got some rest." He said. He walked back to his chair and sat on it, leaning back. ''It's working..a little. Its still on my mind, but at least I'm conserving my energy some. I just need to forget about it, but still hold the form up....''

Dusk then stands up and the guitar disappears, then he yawns. "Might as well get aquainted before I get beaten..." Dusk casually walks over to Smash. "Hey, what's your name?"

Smash sat up straight. There was still a slight aura around him from his High Tension state. "Smash. Smash The Echidna. And you?"

Kyle's training began to get even more intense, and he began acting like he was actually fighting-and beating somebody. His endless hacks and slashes showed no sign of him holding back any strength, nor did he seem like he was gonna stop any time soon. The Gemblade glowed brightly with every swing and thrust.

Dusk scratches one wing. "My name's Duskorion, but most people just know me as Dusk, the hedgehog. But this is just my hedgehog form...I'm acually a hybrid with 5 seperate species."

Summer: *listens to the announcement* ok, that's me. *pats Dusk on the shoulder* See you in the finals.

"I'd like to hope so!" Dusk puts one hand behind his head and grins a bit.

"A hybrid?" Smash asked, curiously. "That's interesting. I don't see too many hybrids around here. Especially not ones mixed with five other different species." He said. "Hedgehog form..Does that mean you shapeshift?"

"Yep! I'm part Animal, Demon, Dragon, Spirit and Ghost. Notice I said animal. That means I can become any animal species, along with my other 4 species." Dusk spreads his wings. "But because of my species, I have dragon wings, demon claws and eyes, and I can pass through walls and the floors with ease."

Smash bit his upper lip. "How exactly did you become all of those at once?" He asked. "That couldn't have happened normally."

Kyle finally stopped swinging his sword. He was panting heavily, and the tip of his sword hit the floor as he lowered it. "I...I mustn't overdo it..." He said to himself between breaths.

Dusk looks at Smash, then turns away. "I was kidnapped and experimented on at a very young age. I was lucky to get out alive.".....

Smash's eyebrows shot up. Experimented on? He thought, surprised. Dang, more and more people are falling victim to stuff like this... "Oh..Sorry, I didn't know." He apologized.

"It's fine." Dusk folded his wings behind his back and picks at one claw.

After catching his breath, Kyle walked to Smash and Dusk. "Smash, shouldn't you be preparing for your next match?" He then noticed the change in his fur color and the weak aura around him. "...What are you doing?"

"I kinda am preparing." Smash said. "A good rest before a match is essential, you know."

Kyle looked puzzled, but shrugged it off.

(Nora whistled random notes)

Liger: Hm? I think I felt...a bad pun....

Dusk sighs and sits back in his chair, then pulls out his guitar and starts tuning it.

Smash leaned back, putting his arms behind his head and closing his eyes. "I need a nap. Wake me up a little before my next mach, okay?" He said to whoever could hear.

"I shall." Kyle said. He then walked back towards the training equipment, and sat down on the floor. He appeared to have began meditating, a perfect opportunity now that the locker room had quieted down some.

(Nora fell asleep again, her snoring was very unlady like...)

Dusk just laughed. "Ahh, man....Nora's so boyish, it's sick."

Krinkinko: (Raises an eyebrow as he watches Aero's match on T.V.) He's sure strong for the common theif.

Metal:I'm more eager to fight Smash again you see. My name is Metal and I'm a Wolf.

Krinkinko: (Winces)Arn't you the guy who fought him in the shadow crystal cloud tournament?

Metal:Yes I am the guy who fought him and tried to attack you.

Krinkinko:So why do you want to fight him again? (A safe distance away)

Metal:To become stronger than him and Rachel's master it seems.

Krinkinko:After we killed her dad Rachel is free she doesn't take orders from anybody. Except her boss so she won't get fired. Is this because you like her?

Metal:I don't like but want to be the toughest warrior in the world.

Krinkinko:Oh you said become stronger than Rachel's master.

Krinkinko:So your going to become the toughest person in the world by godmodding. I'm sorry my friend but nothing is tough about that.

Metal:Not godmodding. I don't how by the emeralds I think?

"Now now boys..." A voice cam from behind, along with a pair of hands, one on each of the mobian's shoulders. "We're not here to argue, we're here to fight. Good luck and have fun, right?"

Krinkinko:Arn't argue and fight basiclly the same thing?

Saizo laughed a bit, then patted Krin on the shoulder. "No no no, my friend. Arguing is when two idiots try to outwit each other in a contest of stupidity, much like you two right now. Fighting is what truly decides the winner."

Krinkinko:Were you born a jerk!? *Sigh*

Metal:GAWD!

Saizo lifted his hands from their bodies and smirked. "Comes with the territory, I s'pose. I hope the both of you provide some form of challenge to me, if I do see you in the quarter finals and onwards." He turned to walk off, but then stopped briefly. "Give it your all." Saizo then walked off.

Metal:I will give my all and Krink I will beat you sometime.

Saizo sat on one of the benches in the locker room, pulling a book from his pocket before sitting down to read it. "You bastards better not disappoint me..." Saizo muttered to himself; he wanted a real challenge considering how high in regards Summers had told him the Mobian race was.

Krinkinko:I heard that!

Kyle sighed and shook his head. "I was wrong to think that I had a moment of peace." He said, sounding upset.

Smash could hear it all, as he was not yet asleep. He scrunched his eyebrows at it, quite obviously annoyed.

Rachel: (To Smash) Whatcha' doin'?

"Ugh, What does it look like I'm doi-waait a minute.." He opened his eyes. "Whaaaa!" He sat straight up. "What're you doing here?" He asked in surprise.

Rachel: I came to see you and Krinkinko but I'm not going to just be in the audience so I snuck in here.

"I see..." Phew, I thought she was actually thinking about entering. He thought, a sweat drop rolling down the side of his face. "So..yeah. I'm here. How..are you?" ''I think...This is kinda awkward. Casually talking to the girl who tried to kill my family, randomly proposed to me, and then tried to help me afterwards.''

Rachel: I'm good a little lonely. How old is crash? Tell me quick because I was thinking of sighning up.

Smash's eyebrows shot up. "How old is C-Crash? You mean my Cousin? You're not thinking of marrying HIM, Are you?"

Rachel: NO! I know I'm going to marry him if I can!

"Uh-Uh. Sorry, but no. Crash is off limits." He shook his head, waving his hands in front of his face. "You'd best keep searching." ''It's hard to imagine that she was so bent on not having a relationship at first. Now she's the complete opposite.'' He thought. ''AND she's thinking about entering! What's with this girl!?''

Kyle stood up with a frown. "This is taking a bit longer than I had expected..." He said to himself.

Krinkinko:I know I'm so bored.

Rachel:So Kyle. You doin' anything tommorrow?

Krinkinko: (Ultimate facepalm)

Smash slapped his forehead so hard, he actually hurt himself.

(A.K.A. facepalm)

Kyle's eyebrows rose high. "...Do I know you?"

Rachel:No but you'll want to!

Kyle gave a very unsettled look, and took a step back. "Might I ask how you know my name, then?"

Rachel:Your the best fighter ever! (She then turns around to stick her tounge out at Smash)

Smash was looking at her with his eyelids half open, with a sarcastic expression on his face. You can't be serious...

"But I haven't...Oh, I see. You must have seen me obtain victory at the Blitz Pit World Tournament last summer?" Kyle suggested. "That would explain it."

Kyle, do you even realize that she's flirting with you? Smash facepalmed again at the thought.

Rachel: (Puts her finger on Kyle's nose)How bout' we get a burger before your fight starts.

krinkinko: (Whispers to smash)Does he realize she's a goat!?

Kyle backed off a good distance. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I will have to decline your offer." He said.

"Kyle ain't that stupid." Smash said. "He just doesn't like to jump to conclusions." At least I hope that's what the reason he delayed turning her away was, and not just plain obliviousness.

Rachel: (Walks towards Kyle)Oh come on teach me some of your moves!

Kyle stood firmly. "Miss, I'm afraid that I mean it when I say 'No.'." He said as firmly as he stood.

Krinkinko:BACK OFF RACHEL LEAVE HIM ALONE! Oh no tuesday is her flirting day!

Rachel: (Turns to krinkinko's age)Want to go to the movies sometime?

Krinkinko:AAAAH hmmm maybe. Nah just keep chasing kyle.

Rachel: (Turns to kyle's age) I just want to learn how to be strong. (Puppy dog pout)

((Did she just do what I think she did? 0_o; ))

Kyle's eye twitched. Oh, please, for the love of all that is holy, let my match begin  NOW ! He thought desperately. "I-Is that really all?" He asked. "I get the feeling that there is more to it than just that, which is why I refuse. Plus, I hardly find this "Flirting Day" appropriate."

Krinkinko: (Throws Rachel out the window) The galaxy is saved! U-oh

A baby doll: (Hugs smash's legs)Moma!

((There was a Window? o.o))

Kyle wiped his forehead and let out a sigh of relief. "Although I would never do that to a lady, I believe thanks are in order." He said.

Smash, thinking that he could finally try to get some sleep, opened his eyes again seconds after closing them and looked at his legs. "What the...Er...what?"

Baby Doll:Why momma look like a hairy old man?

Krinkinko:Looks like you'll have one more mouth to feed! 0_0

A vein mark appeared on his face. "Hairy old man? I am Not Old!" Smash said, quite offended. "What's more, I'm not your momma!"

"Where did this child come from?" Kyle asked. "I could have sworn there were no children in here a moment ago."

Krinkinko:I'm 12 you know!

Baby Doll:It's okay your ugly. Where's daddy. (Smash's wife) Where my swiblings.

"I meant really young children only reaching up to a grown man's knees." Kyle said.

"Where do you get off, kid? Where's your manners?" Smash asked. "I don't know where your family is, but I doubt they're here. So why are you?"

Baby Doll:My momma and Swibwings are in Greenflower city (refering to smash's family) and my mooma right here (points to smash).Where couzin Cras?

Smash fell silent. "....." .....Please....somebody...make..it...stop. He thought.

Baby Doll:Where is papa? His name is Luna the hedgehog.

Smash stood up, and walked away. He walked out the door leading out of the locker room, and left down the hallways with a blank expression on his face.

Saizo looked on, and shook his head. "I don't even know why I'm still here," he muttered to himself, disgusted at the extent of conversation that this world could accel to. "As if any of these goons could pose any challenge..."

Krinkinko: I could pose as your undoing if you don't shut up! Smash could do worse!

"Smash...?" Saizo thought for a while, then he chuckled, before bursting into full laughter. "Ah ha! Smash the Echidna... I know him. He's put up a good fight in the Trials of Conquest. But he's still ten thousand years too early to compete with me... and seeing as he's "worse" than you... That makes you incomparable to me on any scale. I'll have fun teaching you a valuable lesson in the arena."

Krinkinko:Last time I checked he was stronger old man!

"SILENCE!" Kyle yelled at both of them. "I am trying to think, if you do not mind! It is very irritating to listen to your silly arguments! You will not know who is stronger until you face eachother in battle. The last time I checked, Neither of you two will even face off in this round! Save your witty banter for later."

Saizo stood up; he was still chuckling from the apparent joke that perhaps they could beat him. he shrugged off one shoulder, loosening it up before walking towards Krin, then past him. "Then perhaps you can tell me what it's like when this "Old Man" puts you down with no effort. I'll look forward to cleaving you in sections should we meet."

Krinkinko:Make sure you do that without God-modding!

"...God...? Whatever." Saizo retored, walking from the locker room, deciding to go ahead and take a seat in the stands in view of the next upcoming matches.

Kyle sighed and shook his head, and left back to his previous spot and began meditating again. Or at least, he attempted to.

Rachel: (Appears next to kyle) Whatcha' doin'? Should I try to become referee?

Kyle's eyes popped back open only seconds after he had closed them. He felt a strain on his temper, but managed to hold it. "I..am trying to meditate. It requires Great concentration." He said through gritted teeth.

Rachel: Okay. (Puts headphones on his ears and on it it's a singer singing Bow chikkka wow that's what my baby says moe mow mow and my heart starts pumpin' chikka chikka choo wow nevr gonnah stop itchy gitchy goo means that I love you! over and over again)

Kyle's eye twitched. He took the headphones off calmly, and placed them on the floor. "What do you want?" He asked, now sounding annoyed.

(Krinkinko tried to help but Rachel taped him up)

Rachel:Just take me out to eat.

A vein mark appeared on his face. "Okay, I've been polite, but now you are trying my patience. My answer is still the same as before: No. It is hardly appropriate for me to go out with you alone. I would have said this before, but the boy you have tied up in tape "escorted you out" before I could. My heart is for one and only one person: Marina The Echidna." He gave her a firm look. "With that said, I will not betray my love. If you truly want to find love, you must at the very least consider others feelings before your own."

(The G.U.N. commander appears on his wristwatch):RAchel why arn't you at your post at the front desk!?

Rachel:Ummmm I...

The G.U.N. commander: Get back here this instant or your fired!

Rachel:Yes sir! (She jumps out the window and air swims towards mobius)

Krinkinko: (Taped)MMMMm

Kyle sighed and shook his head. "This is far too much..." He muttered. "And those lyrics...What trash." He stood up and walked towards Krinkinko. "Hold still." He drew his sword, and gave a swift slash at the tape. He cut off a good portion, enough for him to peel off the rest with ease. He withdrew the blade, and helped him to his feet. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Krinkinko:Only if you count being taped up by a loon okay. Still I feel bad for her.

Arc: *walks in and sees Kyle un-taping Krink* Now what did I miss here? *looks up* Did you have anything to do with this?

Voice: I don't even know anymore...

Kyle looked up. "Do not bother thinking about it. Please, The past events are best left in the past." He said.

After hearing the voice, Kyle turned to look at the door to the ring. "Understood. I am on my way." He said. He walked through the door and into the ring.

The door opened rather slowly, Saizo entering the locker room, wheeling in a trolley of assorted food, likely "acquired" from the canteen. "Saves me having to go looking for it later..." he muttered to himself; assorted sandwiches, candy and other foods lay on the many shelves of the trolly. Saizo took the time to partially remove his mask, but used his hair to obscure his face, while eating a cheese and ham sandwich.

Metal:(fall asleep) So much for waiting...

Tendril: *walks back in from his match. sits in his seat* i'm back.

Saizo looked up, replacing his mask back on and finishing off the sandwich. "I saw your match from the stands. I wasn't particularly impressed though..." Saizo smirked; he was somewhat impressed of the shadow manipulation, but wondered if this guy could use it more effectively than demonstrated on the battlefield. "I hope that wasn't everything you got. It's not good to show you entire hand early in the game."

Tendril: oh don't worry. i've got plenty more in store. *black fur darkens. grows silver streaks and knuckle spikes*

Nightfall: *in Tendril's body, speaking with his own voice through Tendril's mouth* hey. can you come here a second?

"Sorry, following orders just isn't my style..." Saizo retorted, smirking under his mask before leaning back against the locker, hands behind his head. "If you want me so badly, why don't you come over here?"

Nightfall: it was not an order. it was a request.

"Oh, well that's different. I don't do requests, either."

Nightfall: fine. looks like i'll be doing it the hard way. *leaves Tendril's body in a wisp of cyan smoke. metal gathers around him, making him a new body*

"Oh?" Saizo leans forwards, then stands up, turning to the now metal abberation. "You looking for trouble? that's good, I was getting bored." Saizo said, smirking with a gleam in his emeragan.

Nightfall: what purpose would i have to fight you? i was only going to jump from Tendril's body to yours. i do not wish to be within him when it kicks in.

"Well, sorry to say; not happening." Saizo said, turning back round to sit on the bench, taking a seat while still keeping his eyes on him. "I already have someone else accommodating this body, and he's paying me rent in energy. Unless you want him to drain your energies completely, you'd better jog on to somewhere else."

Tendril: *suddenly clutches his chest in pain. falls to one knee*

"Saizo glances around Nightfall, looking at Tendril. "He having a heart attack or something?"

Tendril: no, no. i'm fine. i must have been hit harder than i thought.

"that's fine then," Saizo said, grabbing at another sandwich from the trolley. "I don't want you dying in your next match."

(a green light surrounds Tendril)

Voice: You are healed, Mr. Nightwing. However, you should still rest on the beds over there. You need to be at full strength for your round two match with either Eclipse or Summer. And you(Saizo), where did you get that food? On a similar note, how did you get out of this room?

"Oh great, now I'm hearing things..." Saizo muttered to himself. He didn't like talking to nothing. So he didn't respond to either question, instead decided to eat the sandwich he was holding.

Voice: *knocks the sandwich out of his hand with an energy slash* You aren't hearing things. I am responsible for putting this championship together, and the one who brought you to this realm. You are not to leave this room again without either my request or permission. And if that food is to stay here, where ever it may have come from, you are to share it with the other fighters.

"Tight-fisted bastard..." Saizo said, stabbing the sandwich with his sword and drawing it to him. taking the sandwich from the blade, he took a bite out of it. "Does it even look like I'm hoarding this stuff for myself?" Saizo shook his head, looking at the trolley that lay in the middle of the room. "I don't plan to starve to death while I wait in boredom for my match."

Voice: Nobody starves, nobody dies. I'm only trying to teach you some manners. When you want something that isn't yours, you ask nicely. Understand?

"Not likely," Saizo said with a smirk plastered along his lips. "Manners are given to those who deserve it. Can't say you do."

Voice: *uses another energy slash, purposely hitting Saizo's hand* Ungrateful bastard! You should be honoured that I even considered bringing you here. You don't at all deserve to be here, but I stand by my decisions, so you are. Be ready. Once your time in this contest is up, you will know what true power feels like.

Smash walked back into the locker room and sat back down at his chair, letting out a heavy sigh.

Saizo snickered loudly, trying to keep in the laughter. "Ha, coming from the guy who can't even show his face to me. Don't fret though; after this tournament, I'll give you a reason to never want to see my face again once I show you the true meaning of pain."

Round One
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare... for what is to come.

Nora Kouba Versus Darkness the Dragon Hybrid (Winner: Nora)
Voice: Would Nora and Darkness please report to the ring. Nora and Darkness to the ring.

Darkness: yeah im going.*grabs shimato and himako (twin katana's of opposite powers) and heads out*

(Nora gets up while not saying a word and slung her guitar on her back as she heads out)

Darkness: *sitting on the ground all casual as Nora heads out* hmmm the first match and i get picked to fight Nora. im glad to fight someone like her because i never got to fight her before nor have i seen her in actual combat.

Nora: Okay, lets get started...

(Nora sounded rather casual)

Darkness: *pulls out his swords and tosses them to Tikala* i fight fairly. *takes his king's cape off (Vampire Kings and queens are recognized by there power and cape) and just throws it aside which floast just outside the arena showing a scared body on his right arm and a metal left arm but his body is covered by a black shirt* ready Nora?

(Nora takes out her guitar with one hand)

Nora: Yep, is there a ref. or someone that counts down to start or somethin'?

Darkness: i dunno. *takes a coin out of his pocket* wanna flip a coin and hen it hits the ground we start?

Voice: There will be no need for a coin toss. You may begin whenever you please. Also, a very bold move on your part Darkness. Fighting unarmed is quite honourable in some cultures. Anyways... Begin!

Darkness: i have no intrest in attacking first.

Nora: Okay, since I have no patience for back-and-forth talk... I'll just start first!

(Nora puts her hand in a two-fingered gun pose and shot many lazers at Darkness)

Darkness: *dodges some but not all because his natural powers allow him to control blood*

Nora: Hmm...

(Nora created a orb and threw it in the air, it soon started shooting the same lazars at random angles)

Darkness: *in the time while nora made that orb he ran up to her and threw a sliding kick*

(Nora used her great evasiveness to avoid the attack as if teleporting, but then she appeared behind Darkness and then took her heavy guitar out and slammed him)

Darknes: *right before the guitar hit him he summoned Shimato and blocked the attack and parried before Nora knew what happened*

Nora: Ugh! Is summoning someone even legal? No matter!

(Nora then summoned a Sniper Lazar, it looked like she didn't even shoot anything, but it ended up paralyzing Darkness's right leg)

Darkness: *rips off both metal legs and flies with Shimato in hand (twin katan number 1) forgot to mention my body is over half metal. (g2g Nora)

Nora: Urgh....!

(Nora fired a dangerous Complex lazar that explodes on contact)

Darkness: *without his legs he can fly on dark magic which he does but a lot faster now and dodges the lazer* Shimato become my blade and roar with the blackest flames! *the katana transforms into a scythe with black flames covering it and he throws it*

(Nora's EX Guitar sheilded the scythe)

Nora: As something that shape-shifts, to prevent it from breaking down it must be made out of indestructable metal. It's logic!

(Then Nora jumps up and swings her guitar hard at Darkness)

Darkness: *stops the guitar with his metal hand* i..... hate to end my life...... *grabs nora and throws her away from him just as 7 sycthes start penatrating his body* of corse father... its time for us to end our struggle.

(Nora activated the gravity boosters in her gear guitar which caught her in midair, she climbed on it which looked like she was riding a broom)

Nora: Okay, what's with talking to yourself? T_T

Darkness: family issues with my father. *rips the sycthes out from his body* blod art scythes... im the only vampire left that knows Blood Art. *on the ground the arena starts changing into water and demons start forming out of the water*

Demons: YOUR FATHER REQUESTS YOUR APPEARNCE DARKNESS! COME QUEITLY AND NO *darkness threw the sychtes killing all but the speaker demon* damn your good. *his body becomes stronger and gains 4 wings and 2 more arms so he has 4 arms 4 wings and 6 feet long sychte claws*

Darkness: is it the 1,00th hybrid year... my other half?

Desmont: yes brother.. it is and i want him!

Darkness: try me.

Nora: A little help here? I don't think this is legal!

Darkness: when Desmont comes all rules are broken. look around Nora. he's frozen the time around the ring.

Desmont: DESTROYER IS MINE TO CONTROL!

Voice: No rules are to be broken in my domain! *time restarts and both Darkness and Desmont are held in place* Darkness! What is going on here? If this demon is not a summon of yours then he cannot be here. He is interrupting your fight with Ms. Kouba!

Darkness: true he isnt a summon of mine but he IS a part of me. back when i was born i got mutated and he took over half my soul. i split us apart after he destroyed 7 realms. every 1000 hybrid years he tries and fails each time.. but each time it gets harder and harder because he chooses the time. i never choose when he comes.

Desmont: I WANT.... TOTAL CONTROL... OVER.. EVERYTHING!

Voice: If you want everything... then you will get NOTHING!!! *slash of light hits Desmont, rendering him completely immobile*

Arc: *flys into the ring* For goodness sake, what is going on here?

Darkness: Desmont. this has to take place another time another place. that is even if you want to live.

Desmont: *still immoblie* I WILL GET HIM! THE DAYS OF DEATH WILL NEVER CEASE ONCE I GET HIM!

Darkness: i wont allow that.

Voice: Arc, do the honours.

Arc: Chaos... RIFT!!! *Desmont is sent to the No Zone* The deed is done.

Voice: *sigh* Good. Now we can resume the proper fight?

Arc: *flys back into the audience*

Darkness: give him 20 days then the fights begin. *raises his hand* quick thing Nora i hope you dont mind me saying im sorry for this do you? *takes his own sword* Anima... dont bother. *slices his metal wing open and black blood flows from it* but im not takein it easy. and also i want Death to incur to me so be careful. i just made it so i will die if i take another hit. and i hate blocking just to also add to that.

Voice: Nobody dies in my arena. The only ghosts or spirits or whatever we have popping up here are the ones that are already dead. *cough cough* Arc *cough cough* Whether or not you want it, I will not be held responsible for such things. The final blow will merely send you back to the Locker Room, like it does everyone else.

Darkness: then my pressence is meaningless. *stabs himself with a sword and dissapears not to the locker room but to his own realm out of his control leaving behind a note says "I FORFEIT!"*

(0_o)

Voice: Hmm, can't say I've never seen that before... Nora wins by forfeit! Any parting words from the victor?

Nora: Uh.... Okay that was lame!

Voice: I agree, quite lame. Don't worry though, I'm sure your fight with Smash in Round 2 will be much more interesting.

Nora: Okaaaaaaaaaaaay.... >_>

Smash the Echidna Versus Arc the Hedgehog (Winner: Smash The Echidna)
Voice: Would Smash and Arc please report two ring two *ring two appears next to ring one*. Smash and Arc to ring two.

Smash walked into the ring, and stood at his corner. He took a moment to look around at his surroundings. The place was huge, and a large audience surrouned him. This place is amazing... He thought. He looked in front of him, waiting for his opponent to show up.

Voice: Repeat, Arc to ring two...

(Mysterious Hooded Figure jumps down into the ring)

MHF: Allow me to introduce myself, I am Arc Aungel.

Smash rose his eyebrow. So that's where he was. He thought. "And I'm Smash The Echidna." He returned the introduction. "Lets have a good fight, shall we?"

Arc: Oh, I know you well already, Smash. I was told to tell you that Rachel is doing fine. And yes, let's have a good fight. *smirks*

"Oh..I see. Well, that's good to hear." He said. ''Urk..Rachel again? I honestly don't think I care much for that girl, but whatever. How did he know me..?'' He got into a fighting stance. "You can make the first move."

Arc: If you insist. *the Chaos Blade appears in his hand* Now I shall see what truly made my son see you as worthy. Enguarde! *fires a flurry of psyco-darts from the blade*

''Son? Could it be tha-DODGE!!'' Smash quickly began to dodge the darts as fast as he could, relying only on instinct. One of them sliced past his shoulder, and another nicked his leg. But it was nothing serious. He regained his composure and faced him. "My turn!" He ran towards him and threw a strong left hook, followed by a spin kick.

Arc: *leans back to dodge the hook. He blocks the kick with his sword but is thrown of balance. He steadies himself and jumps high into the air, only to remain suspended* Quite a kick you have there, boy! *he looks to the audience at Soro, then back to Smash* Catch! *three rocks fly towards Smash from the ground next to the ring*

Smash looked at the rocks heading towards him, then jumped into the air towards Arc. The rocks collided with eachother, and Smash threw an uppercut towards him, hoping to knock him out of the air.

Arc: *shifts backwards, smirking* This is who Vendeta was so sure about? You're a very slow fighter, but I suppose if I don't go easy, then maybe you won't either. *the source of Arc's flight and psycokinesis appears: two large, shining angel wings*

Smash landed on the ground and looked back up at him. A flying enemy... He thought. ''There isn't too much I can do to someone in the air. I COULD try to outsmart him...'' He looked over towards the rocks behind him. Yeah, lets try that. He grabbed the rock and slowly lifted it. ''DANG this thing is heavy. He's sure to dodge this.'' He managed to get it over his head and turned to look at Arc. "Dodge THIS!" He threw the rock towards him.

Arc: Silly boy, I don't need to dodge it. *catches the boulder with his wings* These aren't only for flying you know. *the boulder shatters. Arc moves a bit closer to the ground* Is this better?

The moment he was waiting for. As the boulder shattered, Smash came flying towards him after a great leap. "Seven Stars!" He threw a mighty punch towards his head.

Arc: *receives the hit. He falls and lands on his feet. He breathes in* Much better. *flinches. The Seven Stars hit harder than anticipated* Hm... goodbye. *wraps himself in his wings and disappears*

Smash landed in a kneeling position. Pieces of the boulder landed around him. He stood up and looked at Arc, who soon disappeared. "What the.."Goodbye"?" He looked around the ring, trying to make sure he wasn't going to jump at him from a random spot.

Arc: *appears behind Smash* I'm back. *throws a backhand with his wing*

Smash quickly whirled around and just barely managed to block the attack. I knew he was gonna do that. He thought. He countered with a punch with his free hand.

Arc: *hit square in the nose by the punch* Urk! Is that all? Where is the fighter that saved an entire world from having it's life force drained? Where is the fighter who Vendeta would have trusted with the sacred Mayhem Rubies? Is he dead? I hope not, because I was looking forward to fighting him. Now stop trying to hit me and hit me!

"Alright, then. Enough with the warmups." Smash said, cracking his knuckles. "From this point on, no holding back!" He tensed his muscles and went into a flurry of vicious blows. He picked up speed and didn't show any signs of letting up, as his attacks gradually got stronger with each hit. Ending the combo, he came at him with a rising uppercut, a blow like this would possibly break his jaw.

Arc: *took every blow, showing little resistance. The uppercut knocked his head back, but with a crack it moved back into place* Urgh... That's more like it. If you want to go far in this Championship, then you shouldn't hold back like you were doing before. It's this speed and technique that leads you to success. Do not be afraid to live up to your potential. Let me give you an example. * flexes wings, and creates a shockwave similar to Chaos Blast*

"The reason I wasn't giving it my all was to observe your fighting style." He admitted. The shockwave came towards him quickly. It's time to get ready to end this. He clenched his fists and focused his energy. "URRGHII!!" He released it in a blast of light blue aura, his fur changing to a lime greenish cyan. He put his arms up and resisted the shockwave. It hurt a lot, and pushed him back a few feet, but he wasn't backing down. He charged towards Arc and came at him with another rising uppercut, following up with another attack, he brought his fist down towards him from above in an attempt to smash him into the ground.

Arc: *blocks the uppercut with his sword, and is thrown off balanced. He attemps to block the second attack with his wings, but is still forced to his knees. With Smash at a close range, he tries the shockwave again*

With the shockwave right next to him, he didn't have time to dodge or defend. It successfully knocked him halfway across the ring. He landed on his back, wincing in pain. That...hurt. He thought. ''No, You gotta get up. This form won't last too much longer!'' He rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself to his feet. He looked towards Arc. Just go all out on him, don't let up! He went behind one of the two remaining boulders from earlier, and punched it towards him. He ran behind it, heading straight for Arc, ready to follow up with another attack.

Arc: *catches the boulder with his wings and holds it out in front of him. He positions himself into a guarding stance with his sword* Give me your best shot!

Smash smirked, seeing him holding the boulder. Alright then, you asked for it! He leaped up into the air, quite high above. His fist began glowing with its own aura, then his whole body began glowing brightly. His aura grew higher as he put more energy into his attack. He began moving at slow motion as he was coming down, except for the gravity pulling him in faster than he was moving. "This is a new move of mine!" He said as he came closer. "Divine FIST!" He yelled as he threw a mighty punch down at him and the boulder. The impact usually let out a flash of light, but instead it let out an explosion of energy and aura, shooting straight up into the air. It could be seen high above the audience stands. The boulder completely shattered from the blow, and Smash drove through it heading straight for Arc with his fist ready for him.

Arc: Fell right into my trap. Angels MIGHT!!! *with Smash between his wings, he draws them inward. His sword remains at the ready in case the move does not work*

The last effects of Smash's attack created a shockwave spreading out all around him. Smash looked up and proceeded to try and attack him again while he was still close to him. Suddenly his aura flickered and faded away, and his fur returned to normal.

Arc: *pulls in Smash with his wings. He holds Smash by the arms, with the tips of his wings pointed into Smash's back* Hm... So much potential, and so much to learn. I suppose I cannot blame you, for I have much more experience fighting with my abilities than you do yours. Even so, you couldn't have won with me being-- *Arc flinches. He drops Smash, and is stunned*

Smash fell to his knees. He began gasping for breath, after he depleted much of his own energy from his powered up state and attacks. He looked up at Arc in confusion. "What on...earth..?" ''What just happened to him? Wait, this is your chance. He's wide open, and I won't last too much longer in this battle.'' He gathered up the rest of his remaining energy and concentrated it all in his arm. "SKULL CRACKER!" Putting all his might behind his attack, Smash threw his strongest punch towards Arc's face.

(SFX: Crack!)

Arc: *falls to the ground*

Voice: Arc is down. He has ten seconds to get up. *timer begins*

Voice2: Hmhmhmhm... Looks like that's two you owe me, Smash...

Arc: *fades away. He reappears next to Smash in his true spirit form* Congradulations, boy...

Voice: *timer ends* Smash the Echidna is the victor! Any closing words?

Smash held his chest and let out a sigh of relief. I managed to win... He looked up. "All I can say is, Arc is right. I still have much to learn, and I know that good and well. But with every battle comes experience. I think that I've gotten quite a bit of it this time. There are still more fighters that I'll face off against, each even more threatening than the other. I've felt only a piece of the power that could overthrow me, so I have to be ready for anything. And yes, I see you Pearl." He smiled and waved at the audience. He looked to the side. Thanks...Vendeta.
