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
 * if a fight become too out of hand, it will go to a mortal draw. A mortal draw will have both fighters strike eachother once simultaneously. The successful and/or more effective hit wins

\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.

"Oh no..." She said, softly. She was still looking at Kyle's match. "Kyle..Get up..."

The crowd watching Kyle's fight with Krinkinko was in an uproar. Some were booing Krinkinko, some were yelling complaints, some just turned away in disgust. Pearl couldn't bear to watch what was happening to her friend. "Somebody, please do something! That can't be allowed!"

Some of the crowd was cheering for Krinkinko and some girls were holding signs that said ''YOU DA MAN KRINKINKO, YOU ROCK! and, WE LOVE YOU KRINKINKO!''

Pearl held her hands out in front of her as if she were trying to make a point, but couldn't get any words out. You can't be SERIOUS! She thought. ''Are you even looking at what he's..he's...DOING!? Ugh, I don't understand some people...''

A girl:It's Dark Krinkinko doing the vile stuff! The normal Krinkinko is strong and hot!

"Whether he's dark or not, Can you really cheer for someone doing THAT!?" Pearl asked, somewhat angrily. "That's not fighting, It's torture!"

Jag:(Walks in)Every life is just torture fights are just away to speed them up!(Looks at the fight)That is what I call speeding up.Don't start thinking life is just as easy as mine.

Pearl shot him a fierce glare. "Nobody asked you! I didn't say life was easy, What I'm saying is that is completely inappropriate!"

Jag:I was just making a point (starts to growl)But I agree this is completely inappropriate!Now lets get to the real part its not like I'm scheming to set the place on fire.

"I didn't say you were, but that was a suspiciously specific denial!" She said. She turned to look at what was going on and gasped. "Oh no..He's down again..." Her voice quickly changed from angry to pififul.

Droget's Brother:Oh Krinkinko is givivng it his all since he lost to Smash the first round his last fight. Anyways pink Echidna lady want me go buy you some popcorn?

Pearl looked at him at the corner of her eyes, then looked away. "..No thank you...I'm not feeling hungry."

Soro: It's quiet, I guess Nora must be asleep now...'

The Elder of frog village:That was an awesome fight!

Tsunami: *to Duan* hey. what songs can you play?

Duan: A lot of songs, actually. A lot of them I learned just so I could play. Hm... let's see... I can play Crazy Train, Miss Murder, Sweet Child o' Mine, Through the Fire and Flames, Killer Queen, and much more. Then there's songs I made up.

A tall frog: You sound just like my baby brother Droget. You know? A frog, chubby, scared of robots, hates blood, hates fighting? He loves to sing and play instraments you should help him sometime.

Tsunami: anything from Naruto?

((Try not to break the fourth wall, please?))

Kyle walked into the stands, and walked over to Pearl. "Hello, Pearl. Good to see you again." He said with a friendly smile.

"Hi, Kyle...Sorry about the match." She responded, somewhat glumly. "I was rooting for you."

"Do not worry." Kyle said. "Even though I lost, Smash still has a chance. I have had my glory already, it is time that someone else gets it." He looked at an empty seat next to her. "May I?"

"Sure, Go ahead." She said. Kyle then took the seat.

Droget's Brother: (To Tsunami) I beleive it's omething called fighting dreamers from the fourth season. Something about a season when the hokage dies I think but I don't watch those shows.

The Elder: GO KRINKINKO ALL THE WAY WOOOHOOOOO!

Duan: No, not really. I never have time to watch TV. What I mean by this is even though I have free time, I know when to stop. If I'm hanging with friends, I know it's time to leave when I go insane. If I'm on the computer printing tablature for a song, I know I'm done when I've printed the fifth song. But when I watch TV, I never know when I'm finished. So, I don't watch TV. That's pretty crazy to some people, but I don't

Droget's Brother: My question is could you help my brother out with his singing skills.

Duan: In that case, yeah. I can definitely help him in that case.

Droget:Sweet! When will our first lesson start?

Duan: When you find me a bottle of Sparkling Apple Juice. It improves my singing for some reason.

Food seller: APPLE JUICE! GET YOUR FRESH, FREE SPARKLING APPLE JUICE!

Droget: (Takes one and hands it to Duan) Here ya' go!

Duan: Thanks. Remember that pitch and tone are everything. That is the first thing I want you to remember. People have probably already told you this, but think about it. Just think about it. Later, we'll do some actual singing. Right now, I want to watch battles.

Droget: Okay. Did you see Krinkinko Vs. Kyle? That battle was awesome!

Flare: Krinkinko is a maniac.

Tsunami: *playing the Naruto Main Theme on an ocarina made of water*

Droget: I will not just sit here while you trash talk about my friend!!! It's his darkform that's crazy not him! He can't even control his dark form! If you remember the end of the fight Kyle even said that Krinkinko couldn't control it!

Quake: i know about insane super forms. but at least my Earth Beast form is under control. i only lose it when i use Charge. and all i do is pound my opponent into the ground until i faint from lack of power.

Droget: Then clearly we arn't talking about the same level as insane.

Interrupting the conversation, two figures walk between both parties, moving them out of the way as they passed through. A tall human dressed nearly all in black with pale skin, green eyes and golden hair, while a smaller hedgehog, colored red and black wearing a pair of dark beige pants. "Such a nuisance. Are all Mobians like this, Summers?" The taller man spoke, agitated from such trivial debates. "One who can't control their own powers should be destroyed by them..."

"They are, mostly." Summers spoke, nodding softly. "I couldn't agree more, Guyviroth. It's any wonder why he won in the first place."

Droget:That's very bias and stereotype. Wait are you Saizo's friends?

They both turned to look at their questioner. Guyviroth merely turned his head, ignoring the person, but Summers nonetheless spoke. "Yes, we are. We've come here to see how well Mobian's warriors can fight." Guyviroth merely shrugged at the last comment.

"You guys don't look like much," Guyviroth said. His neutral expression turned to a sinister smirk. "I'm sure Summers here could take you all on at the same time." Summers sighed and turned to Guyviroth.

"That's enough. We're not here to fight; we're here to spectate. If you may please, Guyviroth, go find us a couple of seats." Guyviroth huffed before walking off, but Summers stayed, thinking it would be the best to avoid any more hostility. "Our heroes will not be around forever," Summers stated. "So that is why we are here. If our future generations of fighters cannot live up to our current's expectation, then this world is doomed. That is why we are here, and also why Saizo has entered this tournament." Having said his reasons for being at the stadium, Summers turned to walk away to find Guyviroth.

Droget:Well don't just look at this place because there are only 16 fighters. I hope you didn't miss the Krinkinko fight because that was some good material.

Kyle sighed and looked up. "I still have so much to learn..." He said, softly. "The way the battle turned out in the end, I just might shame our "Generation of Heroes"..."

Droget:Dude, you held out long enough for Krinkinko to revert. I would have died out there!

"You may be right, but still...I was foolish to not use the power of the Gemblade." He said, shaking his head. "I thought that I was being fair by using only my own strength, but by doing that I basically let him win. With his speed, there was no way for me to keep my balance against that attack."

Droget:You two both used your normal strenght. It wouldn't just be unfair if you used the gemblade it wouldn't be from where it matters most. (He points to his heart) There will be a time when you won't have the power of your sword and you'll just need to use you and your wits.

Kyle thought about it for a moment, and then smiled. "You're right." He admitted.

"This time was a perfect example." Pearl said, joining in on the conversation. "The Gemblade lost all of it's power in the middle of his fight. I can't imagine what it must've been like fighting without that power when Krinkinko was still berserk in his dark form."

Droget: Also one thing. (He rumaged in his backpack and got out a rainbow colored rock) This is a friendship rock. Krinkinko also has one. Just rub it on someone who's your friend and you'll have their power or you can carve the rock's power into the Gemblade.

Kyle blinked, looking at the rock with interest. "A...Friendship rock?" He looked up at him. "..What is your name?"

Droget: My name is Droget Tereya Frog but my family last name is Lucky. No, really! My full name is Droget Tereya Lucky.

Kyle seemed amused, but didn't comment on it. "Kyle Tyris. A pleasure to meet you, Droget." He said. He placed his hand on the rainbow rock. "And I thank you for your kind offer. I shall hold on to this, and remember this day."

Droegt:Arn't you going to rub it on Pearl?

Kyle's eyebrows rose. "Hm? On Pearl?" He looked over at her.

"Er...I dunno." She shrugged. "I guess it would be kind of an honor to have my power shared with you, but it's kinda unexpected."

"Well, You are the only one of my friends here." Kyle said. He turned back to Droget. "I think I will wait. I would like to show my other friends as well before I use it."

Droget: N prob. Do you know when Kink's next fight will be?

Krinkinko fangirls:GOOOO KINK!

Kyle shook his head. "Somewhere in the next round. That won't be for a while, I'm sure." He said.

"Yeah, so that means pipe down." Pearl said, looking at the fangirls.

Krinkinko Fangirls:Your just saying taht because you hate Krinkinko.

Kyle Fangirls: We all hate Krinkinko because he's lame.

Krinkinko Fangirls: OH no you didn't!

Kyle Fangirls: Oh yes we did! Kyle rules! (Start to fight)

Pearl shook her head. "Now I didn't say anything like tha-" She quickly turned to see the Kyle fangirls starting up a ruckus. "W-what the..."

Kyle shook his head, burying his face into both palms. "I am not in the mood for dealing with this again..."

"What do you mean again?" Pearl rose her eyebrow at him.

Droget: Again!? I would love this if I were you!!!

Kyle narrowed his eyes at Droget. "I'm not talking about fans, I'm talking about mass arguments."

Droget: What other mass arguements have you got into?

Kyle Fangirl:Don't listen to that frog! He's a friend of Krinkinko!

"You haven't been in the locker room." Kyle stated. "They argue in their free time. Generally over who is stronger, etc. That is why we're here, to prove who is stronger through battles, not boasts"

Droget: People are people. If you had a awesome new power wouldn't you inform people?

Kyle looked around. "Not really. Maybe to my friends, but not everyone I see." He modestly said with a shrug. "These people weren't even talking about new powers, they were just saying that no one could possibly even hope to beat them if they even make it far enough. But yes, People will be people. That's just who they are." He frowned. "I just wish they would not bother other people with it. I found it hard to get any peace in that room."

Droget:(Smirking) If they say that to the wrong person they'll get their butt handed to them in the real fights!

"That's partly what I tried to tell them," Kyle said.

"But they don't wanna listen?" Pearl finished as a question. Kyle just nodded.

Fa-La-Stu: (Takes a seat next to Droget) So when will the next fight start?

Droget: No clue.

Fa-La-Stu: Hey, Pearl. This might be personal but at waht age did Smash start taking care of you?

Pearl's eyebrows rose. "Huh? How did you know about that?" She asked, rather surprised. "And who are you?"

Fa-La-Stu: My name is Princess Falalala-Stu Ruth Echidna but just call me Fa-La-Stu. My friend Krinkinko told me about the whole Rodrick thing.

"Oh..I see." She said. "W-Wait, You're a princess!?" She suddenly exclaimed.

"A princess?" Kyle asked, looking over in their direction with his eyebrows raised.

Fa-La-Stu:Yeah, why?

Pearl felt a tad nervous. "I..well, I've just never met a princess before." She said. "But, getting back on topic, How did Krinkinko know that Smash started taking care of me at one point?"

Fa-La-stu:Please just treat me as a normal echidna with ears...well that's not very normal but you get my point. Rodney said You try to replace our parents and this is how you repay me!? so I pretty much now that he's the one who took care of you.

((Actually, that was Rodrick who said that. Rodney disguised himself as Pearl once I think, but I don't remember what he said.))

"Oh...I see." She said, now getting why she came to this conclusion. "Well, Lets see...I had just turned twelve years old. That was almost eight whole years from now."

Fa-La-Stu:Oh. When will the next fight start!? I want to see what Krinkinko and these fighters are truly made of!

"We must have patience.." Kyle said. "I do not know when it will begin."

Meanwhile, Summers managed to find Guyviroth, who instead decided to take a seat on top of the wall surrounding the standings; his Emeragan would allow him to view the fight as though he was tens of meters closer. "Took too long to find seats," Guyviroth said, looking at Summers. "So This is as good as I could find. Hope you don't mind the view." Summer shook his head before taking a seat next to Guyviroth.

"It's not a problem for now," Summers replied. "I only want a good view at Saizo's fight. That reminds me, when in his match?"

"Last match, so we could be waiting for quite some time."

"The best till last, eh?"

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."

Tendril: heh. you sound like me when i arrived

"Though there is a key difference," Saizo said, finishing his sandwich. "Unlike you, I'm no coward who's all talk and can only blindside people."

Smash glared at Saizo and Tendril at the corner of his eyes. "And THIS time..." He muttered to himself. He took out a pair of earmuffs and shoved them onto his head frustratedly. He leaned back and tried to get comfortable. "Sheesh...Can't ever get a moment of peace around here..." He mumbled to himself, closing his eyes.

Tendril: *rolls eyes at Saizo. walks back to his seat*

Nightfall: *returns to Tendril's body. the metal body collapses*

(Abumi makes her way into the locker room. She looks around, luggage strapped to her back. She has an unusualy cheerful look on her face for a situation like this.)

Tendril: hello

Abumi:Hello there, I'm Abumi Anko the Panda

Voice: Preparations are complete. Now Saizo, if you believe yourself to be so powerful, then why don't you give us a little demonstration.

(Saizo disappears from the locker room)

Voice: Oh, and welcome, Abumi.

(a fifth monitor appears on the wall, showing Saizo standing in an isolated ring)

Tendril: nice to meet you Abumi. i'm Shade Nightwing. call me Tendril.

Abumi:Hello Tendril a pleasure to meet you *bows, and turns to the monitor* ?...hello...?

Metal:Hey. I'm Metal the Wolf. Are you any tough by any chance I would like to see you go up against me.

Abumi: Well I'd like to think I'm strong.....but strength is determined by more than just one's ability. It is also determined by their determination, heart, and will to fight. Of course if you wish to face me, it is one wish I will not hesitate to grant.

Tendril: *watching Saizo's fight. thinks* ''hmm. just as i thought. a shinobi like those from Naruto. i can only wonder if my mock jutsu would be any match against his real ones. *smirks* guess we'll have to wait and find out.''

Arc: Your friend Kyle's quite the fighter, isn't he Smash?

Smash opened one eye and slid the earmuffs off one ear. "Who, Kyle? Yes he is." He said. "Few months ago, He defeated me in the Blitz Pit's World Tournament." He nodded. "'Course he got lucky, like I did with you, but he still deserved that victory I say."

Abumi:*Bows* sorry to intrude, but is there anywhere I can store all of my things, they're quite heavy...

"You can use my locker..." A voice from a nearby bench flooded to her ears. "Good to see you, Abumi." Saizo said, smiling under his mask with a wave. "I don't need the locker, so you can use it."

Abumi:!! *She quickly bows in respect* Saizo Sensei....it has been quite a long time. Thank you very much *She makes her way to the locker room looking back at Saizo" So any idea who you are facing in the first round?

Saizo chuckled and shook his head. "You've no need to call me that... And yes, I know my opponent. I think I might have a good fight. What about you? Know who your opponent is?" Saizo didn't want to tell her he was her opponent out of fear that maybe she might back out of it.

Abumi:So, if you pardon my asking, who is it? I have no idea of my opponent yet.

Arc: *walks up to Saizo* That mark on your forehead... did the host give it to you? I would be concerned if I were you.

Saizo turns to the person, but then turns away again. "If you don't tell me what I've to be concerned with, then I'm not interested." Turning to Abumi, Saizo just smiled. "Ah well, you'll just have to watch and find out."

Arc: ...How rude. Fine then. Just don't come crying to me when that thing kicks in.

Abumi: *She simply smiled and looked at Saizo* Oh, I failed to mention the whispers that pricked my ears. I heard that you were my opponent... If this is true then I'd like to make myself very clear....*She looks Saizo in the eyes* I may respect you....but I fear no man nor any supernatural. You may be stronger, faster, and far more expierenced....but I can promise I will give it my all and lay my life on the line to achieve victory...I trust that you'd do the same. *She looked away, again smiling and resuming unpacking her things*

Saizo looked at her blankly for a bit, then smiled. He patted Abumi on the head and ruffled her hair lightly. "I'm glad you're not intimidated. And I'm proud of you; you make a great Ninja."

Tendril: so, Saizo. i've been wondering. what village are you from?

"I'm from the Hidden Moon..." Saizo didn't even know why he answered; it astounded him why this guy would know to ask such a question, but he didn't bother bringing it up.

Tendril: *opens his eyes, the pupils are white, the irises are green, and the whites are black, sygnifing that he was using Dark Eye* i know a little about you shinobi. i've always tried incorporating their skills into my fighting.

Abumi:Really? That's interesting. I look forward to the oppurtunity to face you and see what you've learned.

Smash groggily opened his eyes, letting out a big yawn. His eyes wandered around the room sleepily, wondering if anything interesting was going on. "....WHAT THE CRAP!?" He suddenly blurted out as he realized what was going on in Ring 2. He accidentally knocked his earmuffs off as he jerked forward in surprise. "Holy...That is BIG..." He said, staring at the monitor. "Kyle..."

Smash's eyes shrunk in shock as he saw what happened to Kyle. "No...Wait hold on, how did Krinkinko pull that off..?" He said to himself. "Whatever the case...You need to get up..."

Tendril: *watching Kyle's match* O.O' *thinks* that guy is a lunatic!

Smash's expression was just about the same as Tendril's.'' What the heck is WRONG with him!? ''He thought. "I ain't ever seen him THIS crazy before." He said. The Elder of frog village:I snuck in here to see Krinkinko on the big screen. Looks like he went Dark that form is crazy!

Smash looked at him. "Hey old man, I think the spectators are Thataway." He said, pointing towards the door leading to the audience. "But still...What's wrong with him? How much more can this guy TAKE? I mean he's been stabbed in the stomach, head, chest, slashed several hundred times, blown up, AND electrocuted. Twice."

"Oh, I can't even WATCH this." Smash turned away in disgust, holding his hand in front of him to block his view.

"Sorry, Krink." Smash said. "No offense or anything, but if anybody's getting my energy here, it's Kyle."

Saizo kept tapping his fingers on his legs; his last fight was great, so he thought, but considering he went toe to toe with the spondor and came out reletively unscathed, it pretty much told him that he was going to win no matter what... depending on what the mark on his forehead meant. His beast kept telling him to remove it, but he didn't have the time or the reasoning to remove it; if it was a control device, his beast could take over, though it was a double-edge risky job. His chakra control could nullify the powers of that mark, but that wasn't even guaranteed. That and he didn't feel like bleeding everywhere grafting it off.

Arc: *looking up* Are you really going to let him walk around with that thing. Despite how powerful he is, it could be very dangerous.

Voice: *to Arc only* Don't worry, old friend. I have plans for him, and I will make sure that he leaves these grounds alive. His fate off them, however, I cannot guarantee.

Krinkinko: (Back from his fight) So did you see the fight?

Kyle appeared at the doorway to the ring he just left from.

"Hey Kyle..Sorry about the match." Smash called out to him. Kyle smiled and shook his head.

"It matters not." He said. "I'm sorry that I won't be facing you during the championship. Besides, I have had my glory."

"You take this so lightly." Smash said, smirking a little. "I guess it's different to people who don't do this kinda thing for a living." He chuckled. "Besides, We can have our rematch anytime."

"Indeed." Kyle nodded. His face turned a bit serious. "Smash..You saw what happened in there. You must be careful." He put his hand on his shoulder. "Never give in, Trust in your abilities, and don't let your opponent get the best of you. Be strong...Be what I wasn't, and you will win."

Smash nodded. "I will. You can count on it."

Kyle smiled, and took his hand off Smash's shoulder. "Good...For now, I shall be watching you from the audience." He said. "If, of course, that is fine with you?" He looked up, directing his question to the Host.

Krinkinko: (Ears drooping) Do you hate me because of my dark form?

Kyle looked over at Krinkinko and shook his head. "I do not hold a grudge against you." He said. "However, like I said before, you must learn to control that. No one should suffer such torture, whether they can handle it or not. And I'm sure it was quite demeaning to your own self to be uncontrollably biting someone like an animal. Not only that, but you left yourself open far too many times. That is how I was able to defeat your dark form in my normal state."

Smash looked over at Krinkinko from behind Kyle. "That should tell you something." He remarked, both eyebrows raised. "Beating a Super/Dark form when you're normal...Either the normal guy is just plain awesome or you screwed up somewhere. In this case it was both."

"In any case," Kyle said. "If you learn to control yourself, you will be a powerful opponent. Far more powerful than you were there. And even then, I still lost. "

Krinkinko: (Smirk) You didn't take me down! I just reverted.

"Not every form lasts, I guess." Smash shrugged.

"Even so, You still left yourself wide open far too often." Kyle said. "The point is, when you face someone far more powerful than I, They will defeat you if you cannot control yourself."

krinkinko: It's not like your good at defense either. (Picks Kyle's chopped off Tail)

A vein mark appears on Kyle's face. "Y-You...!" He snatched his tail out of his hands. "How dare you. Here I am trying to help you and you go and insult me! I'll have you know that defending myself against a raging uncontrollable dark form in my normal state with my energy drained is NOT easy. You had already gravely injuried me by the time you took my tail. Not to mention that it wasn't even you who took it, but a clone you summoned to backstab me! I could scarcely call that lack of skill on my part. And by the way," He looked up. "Pardon me, Host. May I humbly request that my tail be returned to it's former state, if you possess that kind of healing power?"

Krinkinko: (Chuckles)

Smash's eyelids lowered and he sighed. "Leave him alone, Krink. I think you've offended his honor."

"Oh? So you're the victor, hm?" Saizo exclaimed, directing his gaze towards the green freckled hedgehog. "Your match wasn't as grand as I expected it to be, but you have strength obviously." Saizo stood and walked over to the ground; he was aiming to direct his speach towards Krin, but decided to direct it to everyone. "Strength is not power. Your speed is your power, and your mind is its source. You cannot fight what you cannot hit, and you cannot overcome what you do not understand. Strategize; always think three steps ahead of your opponent, and attack when he leasts suspects it. Anyway..." Saizo sighed after finishing his speech, then extended a leg behind him and hooking the handle of the food trolley with his foot, pulling it towards the group. "Eat and regain your strength. Things will only get more difficult here on out, especially if you'll be facing me."

Voice: ...Well, these recent events have given me a lot to think about. There are still many aspects of you mortals that I fail to understand. But I digress... *Kyle's tail glows green, disappears, and reappears on his body* You are healed. If you wish to continue your experience here from the sidelines, then you may do so. The door will now open for you. Personally, I would advise leaving some space between you and Krinkinko. Oh, and Saizo... I appreciate your change in attitude... as subtle as it may be.

Krinkinko: Sponsor guy! You have anything to eat. (Stomach growling like a lion)

Voice: Have you paid no attention to Mr. Marushagan's gestures?

Krinkinko: Oh I thoght he just said to eat. I didn't know he was providing. ( Eats a chili dog in five bites)

Many thanks to you." Kyle said, gratefully. "And yes, I shall take your advice. I can't say that I was not thinking the same, after all." He walked towards the door leading to the audience, and then turned to look at Smash. "Good luck, Smash."

"Say hello to Pearl for me." Smash called to him with a wave. And with that, Kyle headed through the door. Smash then walked to the food trolley and took a piece of food. "I think I'll just help myself to some of this. Thanks."

Dusk spreads his wings, then curls them slightly and runs forward, so that the wind will start to swirl in his wings, then he stops and flaps them, making two small tornados.

Smash rose an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing?" He asked, after gulping down a mouthful of a hot bun. "Training, I assume?"

Dusk nodded and said nothing, then started to slice the air using his wings like swords. He then suddenly sliced, and made a strange magic curve appear and strike the walls, leaving a noticeable slash mark.

(the slash mark fades)

Voice: Careful now, property damage is never a good thing. Also, it's time for your first match.

Tendril: *pulls out an ocarina made of shadows and begins to play the Naruto Main Theme*

After finishing his food, Smash felt refreshed. It was only then when he caught a glimspe of his arm that he realized something. "Wait..Crap, I'm back to normal." He said, scowling. "I guess now's a good time to test and see if it's working or not." He walked over into the training area and clenched his fists. He began focusing his energy, tensing his muscles in the process. "Urr...URRGHII!" He let out a blast of energy as he transformed back into his High Tension state. The sky blue aura around him was pretty much the same as before. But he found it easier to control his energy and not burn it all out at the same time. The form lasted longer than a minute without having to cut down his power. "It's working..." He said to himself. "I just need to control it, and not strain myself..."

Krinkinko: (Looked confused) Smash, what are you doing?

Tendril: *stops playing to watch Smash*

Saizo watched for a small second, before drawing his book and flicking over a few pages. He began to read a bit, but was somewhat confused. "Mmmm... Chaos Energy still bugs the hell out of me." he muttered; the science behind it is awkward, but he only knew that Chakra and Chaos Energy were similar things, so a human obtaining a super form was possible, although difficult.

Krinkinko: You need to not mutter so loud! I know a friend who might be able to help you on Chaos energy.

Liger: Yes, finally! (Liger turns his feet into jet boots and busts of to the stadium)

Smash looked over at Krinkinko and smiled a little. "This is part of my training." He said. "For a long time, I've been working on my own sort of "Super Form". It needs a lot of work, seeing how its still incomplete, but I'm making progress." He explained.

Krinkinko:You used your super form when you fought me remember?

"I know. This is that same form." He said.

Arc: Smash, may I request something of you?

Smash looked over at Arc in surprise. He accidentally let his form power down until he was back to normal. "From me? You want something from me? What is it?" He asked, his eyebrows raised curiously.

Arc: My apologies for breaking your concentration. If you could, power up your "super form" again and fire at me. Anything you have in your arsenal. I'd like to see what you can do with Chaos Energy.

Smash fell silent for a moment. "..This isn't Chaos Energy." He said. "This is my own energy. Without a powersource other than my own willpower and, you might say, lifeforce, I struggled to keep this form up for a whole minute. Until now that is." He explained. He then straightened up. "But in any case, I'll give you a piece of my power." Focusing again, he repeated his transformation from before. "URRGHII!" With a blast of energy, his aura returned and his fur turned lime greenish cyan. "Get ready!" He concentrated most of his energy into his next attack, and threw a punch towards Arc's face. He began moving in slow motion, glowing brightly as he was leaving a trail of afterimages. Suddenly he broke out into his normal speed and delivered the blow. A bright flash would occur, blowing the target back if it were successful.

(the punch passes through Arc's head, as if it were nothing)

Arc: Not Chaos Energy, you say? I know many people like you, Smash. They are unaware of their connections to the Chaos Force. Your connection is quite strong. *chuckles* Keep practicing, it'll do you good. If my Zone's counterpart of you is anything like this, then I'll have a lot to talk about when I meet him. But I digress, thank you for your time. *walks away in thought*

Tendril: *blinks, then begins playing Loneliness from Naruto*

Smash didn't seem too surprised when his fist went right through him, but his eyebrows rose when he heard "Chaos Force". He watched as Arc walked away, and went into deep thought. The Chaos Force...my connection to it...is strong? He thought. ''I thought that this was my own energy...But maybe it has something to do with the experiments with the real Super Transformation and my own...or maybe, all this time I was trying to unlock my potential Chaos Force within me or something. He shook his head. "Whatever the case, I need to keep training. I know I'm getting somewhere..." He quietly said to himself.''

(Rachel Some how broke in again)

Rachel:(To Smash)Who would you say is stronger? You,Your dad, or Crash?

Krinkinko:I wonder who's stronger.

Smash seemed startled. "Dad..?" He repeated. Now that I think about it...Just how strong was Dad, anyway? He wondered. ''I know he was a great fighter...But have I surpassed him? I never really thought about it...'' He appeared to be ignoring Rachel from then on.

Voice: That's it! Out with you, out! *uses energy slashes to push Rachel out of a hole in the wall. The hole meds as soon as she is out*

Smash snapped out of his deep thought and looked at Rachel being shoved out. He let out a sigh. "Thank you." He said, sounding annoyed with the fact that she keeps coming back. "Anyway, to answer her question...I dunno. Crash is about as strong as your average guy. He doesn't train, he ain't a fighter. But my father...I can't say. I don't know how strong he was exactly, and there's no way to compare our strengths now."

Arc: Oh, and Tendril, I just remembered something. I had that strangest suspicion that you may one day run into an old aquantaince of mine. He's a stubborn old wolf by the name of Demon. If you do happen to see him, tell him that I still hate him. And if he gives you any trouble, use this. *tosses a small purple gem to Tendril*

Tendril: *catches the gem* thank you. *goes back to playing Loneliness*

"Well, I should get back to training." Smash said. He powered up his form, and began doing a few exercises.

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.

Eclipse the Hedgehog Versus Summer the Hedgehog
Voice: Would Eclipse and--

Eclipse: *teleports in* Present and accounted for.

Voice: Um... Ok then, would Summer please report to ring one. Summer to ring one.

Summer: *jumps in* Here. *points at Eclipse* You are going down! Might as well forfiet now!

Eclipse: Forfeit? I think you're the one who should forfeit around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You're not even good enough to be my opponent.

Summer: Let's see who's laughing when I put a hole through your head! *fires the wrist laser*

Eclipse: *hand begins to glow with energy. He deflects the laser* There's no time to play games. You won't even get the chance! Chaos Fire! *ring of fire appears around Summer*

Summer: *raises eyebrow* Why did you think I was named 'Summer? '*touches the fire and it becomes darkfire* Sorry. But you can't fight fire with sparks! *sends the darkfire at Eclipse*

Eclipse: You think that pathetic light show can stop me? After all, I'm the coolest. Chaos Freeze! *freezes the darkfire and then smashes it with a kick* Anything else?

Summer: Why, yes. Blackout! *darkness engulfs the stadium* A little trick of mine.

Eclipse: You're right, this is pretty tricky (sarcasm). I've got a few tricks myself. *begins teleporting wildly around the ring, appears behind Summer and does a spinning kick*

(But what he kicked was just a shadow....)

Summer: *chuckles* My fur blends in.

Eclipse: *also chuckles* So does mine. *fades into the darkness*

Summer: Let the darkness take over your eyes

Eclipse: Silly boy, we Crymnians can see in the dark. I assume you can as well, but can you see what isn't there. *he began to laugh, which seemingly came from all around the ring*

Summer: I don't need to! *lifts the blackout suddenly*

Eclipse: *still nowhere to be seen* Guess again, rodent! *Chaos Rifts begin to come at Summer from multiple directions*

Krinkinko the Hedgehog Versus Kyle Tyris the Hedgehog (Winner: Krinkinko)
Voice: Would Krinkinko and Kyle please report to ring two. Krinkinko and Kyle to ring two.

Kyle walked into the ring, and stood at his corner. "I am here." He said.

Krinkinko:(Stood at his corner)Prepare to be amazed. (In a flash he leaps in the air and comes down on Kyle with extreme speed)

Kyle drew his sword, the Gemblade. The sword glowed bright golden as he unsheathed it, and he held it in front of him and blocked the attack. He used the sword to throw him off him. "That was nothing new." He said.

Krinkinko: (Regains his footing and spindashes kyle in the stomache then slashes Kyle with his leaf blade in a uppercut fashion) I save my new moves for later!

Kyle managed to block the spindash with his sword again, but it broke his guard for the second attack. He took the damage and stepped back a few steps, before wiping some blood off his chin. "You got me there." He admitted, calmly. "But now it is my turn." He swung his sword at him multiple times, ending the short combo with a thrust towards his chest.

Krinkinko: (He yelped in pain as he got hit in the chest)Trying to kill me eh!?Well two can play at that game! (He hopped on his extreme gear and made a radio screeching noise then crashed in to kyle on purpose)

Kyle gasped and dodge-rolled out of the way. He stood up and held his sword in front of him tightly. "What is that contraption..." He said quietly to himself. He prepared himself for if he came back around.

Krinkinko:(Kicks kyle in the back he then grinded on the side of the stadium then jumps on Kyle) Huff huff.

Still on guard, He was able to block the first attack with ease, however he fell over when Krinkinko jumped on top of him. He then threw him off and regained his footing. "Would you like me to show you one of my "special moves"?" He asked rhetorically. He spun his sword around a few times, moving it to his side when he locked it's position with the tip facing directly behind him. As he was doing this, he whispered something under his breath and closed his eyes. A slight breeze blew by them.

Krinkinko:(Started guiding his hand toward signaling for him to come to him)

In seemingly an instant, Kyle appeared behind Krinkinko in a flash of light with his sword facing outwards. Several delayed reaction strikes then slashed at Krinkinko from all sides, swiftly, quickly, and powerfully.

Krinkinko:(Used leaf sheild but it reflected making it look like he was hitting krinkinko he then punched kyle in the air using Rage punch and finally uses spikedash on kyles stomach then lands) That's called jungle survivor combo!

Kyle landed into a kneeling position, hurt from the attack. "Impressive...Not many people are able to defend against the "Flash Strike"..." He said. He stood up and held his sword close to his face, the tip facing directly upwards. "Oh Gem of Lightning, Lend me thy strength." The yellow gem on the handle of the sword began to glow in response. "Swirling bolts, gather and strike with power! Thunder Bolt!" He rose his sword above his head as it shot a bolt of lightning into the air. The bolt took the form of an electrical orb which shot several bolts of lightning down at Krinkinko.

Krinkinko:(Gets hit and cries)Lightning is my weak point. I know yours!!!!!!

Semi Dark Krinkinko:(Grinds on air currents then scratches Kyle's face and Bites his lips)HAHAHAHA!

((Krinkinko bit KYLE'S lips!? O.O;))

Kyle screamed in more shock than pain, and quickly shoved Krinkinko away from him. Has this boy lost his mind? He thought. ''However, Whatever that was, it was not my weakness...If Lightning is his weakness, Maybe I could...No, He moves too rapidly for that. I must go for something more direct.'' He then ran towards Krinkinko and jumped towards him with his sword behind him. Once he was close enough, he gave a mighty swing towards him, possibly strong enough to end the match.

Semi Dark Krinkinko:(He simply looked at the bleeding hole in his stomach then he licked it)Yummy! (He then bit one of Kyle's spines scratching him not letting up one inch)

Kyle looked shocked. "Impossible...AUGH!" He cried out as his spine was chomped. "What in heavens name is wrong with you!?" He leaped up into the air, Krinkinko still gnawing away at his quill, and then began to spin around while holding his sword out, slashing rapidly. "Guillotine Slash!" He called out. The rapid spinning was an attempt to throw him off, if the slashing did not strike him.

Semi Dark Krinkinko:(As he fell he grabbed Kyle's crotch and wouldn't let go gripping super hard)I'm going to crush it you puny ant!

Kyle screamed in agony, but then glared furiously. "Then I will finish you right here and now!" He held his sword above his head, the tip facing downward, and thrusted it down towards Krinkinko's head in an attempt to stab him.

Semi Dark Krinkinko:(He took the hit and fell to the ground)

(countdown begins)

(At the last Second a Black Krinkinko rose up)

Dark Krinkinko: RAAAAH! (He then flew up and Bit his neck and used twister energy beam on Kyle's crotch)

Kyle cried out and flew away several feet. He landed on his back, wincing in pain. "Ugnn...P-powerful...." He rolled over onto his back and used his sword to support him as he tried to stand. "This...this will be...ugh.." He fell to his knee, gasping for breath. "Is this...the...No." He looked up. "I still have...A chance." Gathering the remaining bits of strength he had left, He resisted the pain long enough to stand and face Krinkinko. He held his sword over his head, and then stabbed it into the ground. The sword drove halfway through the floor before stopping. "Oh, Gems of the Gemblade...lend me thy power." He said, weakly. All 6 gems began to glow in response. "Lend me the power to rid this world of evil, to shine the holy light upon the darkness and spread peace and prosperity around the world! Oh, Gems of the Gemblade, Lend Me Thy Power!" As he spoke, the gems shot out of the Gemblade, each glowing and sparking with a portion of their power, and then shot back into the blade as they powered up. The entire sword began to glow brightly as Kyle pulled it from the ground King Arthur style. A brilliant flash of light covered the entire ring, and when it faded, Kyle was floating just above the ground with his eyes closed. His quills had moved upward, and his fur was rapidly changing different colors-Each colors were the same as the gems. The Gemblade now had a magnificent aura around it. "So it has come down to this..." He said, his eyes slowly opening. "It is time to put an end to this."

Dark Krinkinko:A supa form? OOOOH! This gone be good! (Charges at Kyle ready to start a swordplay and starts slashing with double leaf blades)

Kyle blocked his slashing attacks with ease. The rapid clashes of their blades only added more excitement to the spectators. They soon clashed together, their blades locked as they forced their might against eachother. "The Darkness will not avail you!" He said.

Dark Krinkinko: (As the swords clashed Krinkinko started headbutting Kyle like a bird pecking, started clawing Kyle's fur trying to rip it off, and kicking kyle in the crotch)

Person in the crowd:Now that's what I call multi tasking!

Kyle was taking in a lot of damage while trying to hold him back. Eventually, He had to pull back so he could get away from him. "Prepare yourself!" Kyle spun his sword around and stopped it in front of his face, the tip facing the sky again. "Oh Gems of the Gemblade, Lend me thy strength..." He began. Instead of continuing with the spell, He charged forward and slashed at Krinkinko again. After three slashes, he backed off again, and then began swinging his sword at him from a distance, slashing waves of Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Earth elements respectively at him. As soon as he finished with his magic, he closed in on him again and began slashing rapidly, showing no mercy. He held his sword behind him as if he were about to pull off a heavy swing, but was suddenly covered in sand after a sudden sandstorm picked up, caused by the Gemblade's magic. He stopped in place, and then vanished as Kyle came from above, using his Guillotine Slash from before. As soon as he landed, he continued with his combo, slashing with more force than before. Each slash this time created a flash of light as he pulled of more fancy spinning strikes like a professional. He then backed off and held his sword in front of his face as if he were going to continue the magic skill he had first intended to do. "O' power that lies in the root of all creation, o' memory inscribed in ancient's past, hear my call and arise before me...!" The aura around the Gemblade rose twice as high and powerful. "HYPER BLADE!" He rose his sword above his head and swung it down with great force. As he did so, the Gemblade unleashed powerful magic attacks, all of each 6 elements, at the same time heading towards him. The combined attacks would create a large explosion in the spot they collided.

(After the explosion it would seem Krinkinko was uneffected but in truth he was badly hurt freezing, burning, and crying)

Dark Krinkinko:You have a strong super form. Now you shall perish!

(Dark Krinkinko summoned clones of himself which bit Kyle in the crotch with super sharp vampire of fangs)

Dark Krinkinko:(Since he went through semi- dark krinkinko he can use Super darkspirit bomb)I'll show you the deepest depths of doom! (He charged his Super Dark spirit bomb so big it could engulf the arena,the audience, the locker room, and the door to the tournament then he threw it at kyle with such force it could break normal Krinkinko's wrists)

With the clones holding him down, there wasn't too much else that he could do. It's enormous... He thought. I have to stop it! Ignoring the pain the best he could, he thrusted the Gemblade into the Super Dark Spirit bomb and held it in place. "There-ugn!-Must be something that I can do...If I let this fall, it will be the end of me-no-It will be the end of All of us!" He said to himself. "Oh Gems of the Gemblade, Lend me thy strength one more time!" He called out. Kyle didn't know what he was going to do. Such a powerful attack floating inches away from him, big enough to wipe out the entire arena. The arena..Yes, I need to get it out, but how? He thought. He closed his eyes and focused, after kicking the clones off of him. "Lend me the power to rid this world of evil, to shine the Holy Light upon the darkness and spread peace and prosperity around the world! Oh, Gems of the Gemblade, Lend. Me. Thy. POWER!" He yelled. He began to float upwards with the Dark Spirit Bomb as the Gemblade let out another blast of aura. He pushed it high above the ring, still moving upwards with it.

Dark Krinkinko: (Makes the Spirit bomb smaller then uses dark mind power to try to weaken Kyles mind then he makes the spirit bomb go around the other blast then it heads for Kyle again. The Spirit bomb then rapidly gained speed)

((What other blast?))

Kyle began to feel strange, but he shrugged it off. Now was not the time to get distracted. The spirit bomb moved around and began heading for him again, although it was smaller than before, it was still lethal. "Now is my chance!" He said. "Unleash thy power!" He swung the Gemblade, and once again it unleashed several magic attacks at once-although far less powerful than what he used on Krinkinko himself. The magic collided at the point where the Dark Spirit bomb was, and caused an explosion in mid-air, detonating the Dark Spirit bomb as well. Kyle flew higher to get out of the blast range. Once he was a safe distance away and the smoke was still clearing, he held his sword up again. "This may be my last chance...Oh Gem of Lightning, Lend me your power..." He said. The gem glowed in response, and he continued. "I, who stand in the full light of the heavens, command thee who opens the gates of hell!" As he spoke, three rings of light appeared over the ring. They were sparking with electricity. "Come forth divine lightning! This ends now! Indignation!" Through the rings, Large and powerful bolts of lightning struck through them at full force. They began shocking anything in it's path.

(It starts to shock Dark Krinkinko and the whole Championship)

Dark Krinkinko: GAAAAAAAH! (Extremely weak he's shedding a tear then he blasts a blast through his mouth and it gathers some lightning then he fires it at Kyle)

Dark Krinkinko: Are you stronger than Smash?!

Kyle held his sword up, gathering more of the energy from the gems, and slashed the blast in two, both halfs flying right past him. "I thank you for the compliment, but I cannot say." He said. "We shall know the answer when we both face off against eachother!" He flew down towards him at high speeds, and whispered to himself again. "Oh gems of Lightning and Wind, lend me thy strength." As soon as he got close, he swung his sword at him. "Multi-Blade Frenzy!" Before impact, a blinding flash covered the area as Kyle struck at lightning speed multiple times, each swing aiming to finish him off.

(Eye of the tiger plays as Krinkinko's Nose,ears,Mouth and any hole in his body started to rapidly bleed because of the damage he took)

Dark Krinkinko:Living on a forgotten prayer! (He then fired a heavy blast out of each hole in his body then Kyle's body started to deform and if hit correctly the move started sucking any other super form other than Dark krinkinko's out)

"What is this!?" He gasped. He held up his sword and held the blast back the best he could. He then started to feel weakened, and his body began to numb. "No...I can't..hold on..." The blast broke through his defense, and knocked him back several feet. He landed on his back, reverting back to his normal form. "Ugn...Is..this..." He looked towards the Gemblade, lying on the ground next to him. The sword's aura disappeared, and the gems glow faded. The golden glow from the blade died away. The sword had been drained of it's power. "No...." He stayed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Dark Krinkinko: (Carves a knife out of some of the Tournament grounds.)

Dark Krinkinko:(Picks up Kyle by the neck at slices his crotch)I hope you can get to the Dr. WAIT NO I DON'T! (Throws a chunk of the tournament ground at Kyle)

((Do not conflict my edits with your double posting. That isn't fair, not giving me a chance to do anything.))

Krinkinko:(Kicks Kyle making him roll over)

(countdown begins again)

Kyle winced in pain from the slice. He couldn't take much more, it was brutal. I'm..finished... He thought. I'm sorry, Smash, but I won't be fighting with you today... He felt himself get dropped to the ground as Krinkinko went to pick up the chunk of the tournament ground. ''Wait..then that means...Smash will have to fight this savage beast. If this monster gets to him...he could suffer the same.. A second wind blew into him I cannot let that happen to him. Even if the host treats his wounds afterwards, no one deserves to suffer his torture!'' He stood up, grabbing his sword. "I...must come out victorious." He said, somewhat weakly. "I may have lost the power of the Gemblade..." He held his sword out in front of him, regaining his battle stance. "But the light burning inside me...will not be snuffed out so easily.."

Dark Krinkinko: (Uses two Leaf blades and Stabs them in Kyles stomach so far it comes out his back)

((That is what I mean by auto hitting. You can't just make your attacks direct hits. It was one thing when he was already down, but now he's up and ready to get back into the battle.)

Kyle used his sword to deflect the blades away from his stomach, and followed up with a counter attack, aiming to slash his head off.

Dark krinkinko: (Grabs Kyles sword and starts bleeding badly he starts seeing things and imagines Kyle as a twix and Chomps on Kyle's head and licking it with passion)

"AAUUGH!!" Kyle screamed again. Not only was this extremely painful, but it was frightening as well. If I am going to fall, I certainly will not allow myself to fall into this boy's stomach ! He twisted away and brought his sword towards his side with great force. The attack could have chopped him in half.

Krinkinko: (Holding his stomach and falling to the ground bleeding and losing strength he then thought it was a hot cheeto and started lethally beating Kyle. He then thought it was a honey bun and uses dark fire to heat him up then he started chewing on him with extreme passion)

Kyle managed to block most of the pounding, but the last blow knocked him to his knees. The dark fire then burnt him, and he was only holding himself up with his hands. "I..won't last much lon-GNNGH!" He felt the teeth gnawing on him again. I...I just can't believe this person. He thought. He pushed himself to his feet, still feeling himself getting chewed on, and then punched Krinkinko off of him. He then gripped his sword with both hands and put all his strength behind his next attack. He slashed at him diagnally from both sides, and then thrusted his sword towards his chest at full force, threatening to impale him.

Dark Krinkinko:Gaaa no! It hurts! (Some of normal Krinkinko breaking through)You called me a monster!..all my life people have called me and Droget monsters....What because I get angry.......NO MORE! (Back to Dark a.k.a. crazy Krinkinko) (He flies high in the air charging a universal extreme speed gathering a bunch of energy he seethed with power and a shadowy green aura formed around him, a bunch of wisps circles him and meteorites came came crashing near Krinkinko but he controlled the meteorites and launched them at Kyle then charged at such Kyle with such force if it hit the ring because kyle dodged it the ground would shatter)

((Kyle didn't say he was a monster, he was THINKING that.))

Kyle knew that he would certainly lose if that hit him. He ran out of the way as fast as he could, only to get knocked back by the impact on the ground. The ground shattered, and Kyle flew through the air from the force, landing on his face several feet away from where the ground seemingly exploded. "Uggn...That..was painful..." He struggled to stand.

Krinkinko: Gah I'm starting to revert. (Imagines Twix and starts to chew on Kyle but as Krinkinko's form get's weaker (which is rapid he chews harder))

Feeling him chewing on him again caused him to fall back down. But now he was starting to get annoyed. "I pray that after this battle you will come to your senses!" He turned over onto his back and sat up. He held his sword high above and brought it down with great force towards his head. "CEASE AND DESIST!"

Dark Krinkinko:Kyle...RUN! (Krinkinko resisted for a while but then he....he imagined Kyle as a honey bun and flamed his tail then....started to chew...it)

Dark Krinkinko:(Mouthfull)Run!..NO DON'T! (Bites harder!)

Kyle managed to get him off of him and scrambled to his feet. He took his advice and ran back several feet. "He's regaining his sanity...somewhat." He said as he turned to face him. He was panting heavily, and had so much pain in his lower area he was feeling numb. "It's a miracle I have even survived this long...How much longer can I last..?

Krinkinko: Forfeight before I.......GAAAH! (Dark Krinkinko bites Kyle's.nose, twisted his head and kept knawing on it with passion.

Kyle cried out in pain. "What is Wrong With YOOOUUU!?!!?!?" He screamed. Desperate to get him off, Kyle started thrusting his sword into Krinkinko's back multiple times. "You won't fall, no matter what I do! And you seem to think that I'm some form of food! I can't take this anymooore!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, still stabbing at him rapidly.

Dark krinkinko: It feels so wrong...(Dark Krinkinko started taking over and Krinkinko allowed some of it so he could win the fight) BUT IT'S A HONEY BUN! (Chomps harder)

"AUUGH!" Kyle screamed again. "Oh Gems of the Gemblade, PLEASE Lend Me your Strength!" He pleaded. The gems flickered in response, but the glow didn't last for long. Kyle was rapidly losing strength, and he was horrified beyond all else. "Oh Gems of the Gemblade..Please Lend me thy Strength..." He pleaded, sounding weaker than before. He held his sword up, the tip facing the sky. "O-...O-..." His vision began to get blurry, but he gritted his teeth and tried to bear through the pain. "O' power..that lies in the root of all creation...o' memory inscribed in ancient's past...hear my call and arise before me...!" He rose his sword above his head. Life flickered into the blade and the gems, and the gems began to glow once again. The sword regained it's original golden glow, and a small aura surrounded it. "This...Is the end." He swung his sword down like before, and casted several magic spells of each elements down at Krinkinko, who was still on him. The elements collided, and exploded like before. It wasn't as strong as the first time, but it should have been enough to at the very least blow him away.

Krinkinko: (Reverts)Ooogah I got some of my strength back but not much. (Makes leaf clones to bite Kyle's tail as he uses extreme speed on kyle's stomach)Just saying the clones are biting you not me!

Kyle hacked away at the clones as they got close, absolutely not wanting anything like that to happen. However, he was knocked over by his dash attack, and fell to the ground. His vision blurred, and he was in terrible pain all over. "I...My light...is fading...." He said quietly.

Krinkinko: (Runs over Kyle) Will the countdown start yet?

The countdown began. Getting run over caused Kyle to cough up some blood. I've...failed... He thought. ''On the first round...I am a sad excuse for a "Heroic Guardian" if I can't even...can't even...can't...even...No! I must come to my senses! I only have a few seconds left. Rise..Rise!'' With only a few seconds left, Kyle used the last bit of his strength to lift himself up. He couldn't get past a kneeling position, he felt almost paralyzed on his lower body area. "I...Still have...a flicker of light..burning inside me..." He said, weakly. He used his sword to support him. "I do not...think that I can win, but...I will do whatever is left in my power..." He winced in pain as he forced himself onto his feet. He nearly stumbled over, but he managed to stand up straight, and regain his battle stance. He was shaking all over, finding it hard to balance. It was a wonder he was still standing. "By my name, I will not allow myself to fall to such foul tactics." He managed to say in a straight sentence. "If I am to lose, I will lose honourably!" He gripped his sword tightly, starting to feel some of the fighting spirit return to him with his words.

Krinkinko:(As Kyle was speaking he kicked Kyle in the Stomach)

Kyle slashed at his foot, deflecting the kick and possibly damaging him in the process, and finished his short speech. He swung at Krinkinko a couple of times, and then thrusted his sword at him in an attempt to stab him again.

Krinkinko: (Catches the sword's ahndle and starts slashing Kyle with the leaf blade and his sword which extreme speed)

Kyle fought back for the control of the Gemblade, but the Leaf Blade caused him to fall to his knee. Now this is definitely my final chance at victory. He thought. He gripped the handle tightly and began to chant. "Oh Gem of Lightning, Lend me thy strength!" The yellow gem began to glow in response. "I, who stand in the full light of the heavens, command thee who opens the gates of hell!" As he spoke, three rings of light appeared over the two of them. They were sparking with electricity. "Come forth divine lightning! This ends now! Indignation!" Through the rings, Large and powerful bolts of lightning struck through them at full force, coming down towards Krinkinko and Kyle. The electricity didn't seem to affect Kyle, but if it hit Krinkinko, he just might be done in. Definitely so if Lightning truly was his weakness, like he said.

(Would tail be a good substitute)

Krinkinko:(As the lightning crashed everyone expected krinkinko to be dead but when the smoke cleared they knew he uses final leaf sheild he then used a spinning extreme speed at Kyle's tail)

Kyle turned around before he could reach his tail, and thrusted his sword towards Krinkinko as he sped towards him.

Krinkinko:(As he fell in pain a clone sneaked behind Kyle and slashed his tail and if done correctly would cut it off)

Kyle cried out in pain, and was horrified when he couldn't feel his tail anymore. He turned around with rage in his eyes, and slashed at the clone mercilessly, not stopping until he was sure that it was dead. He turned to face Krinkinko and looked down at him. "It's finally time that we end this." He said. He took a few steps back and held his sword in front of him, the tip facing the sky again. "Oh Gem of Fire, Lend me thy strength." He chanted. The red gem began to glow in response. "Destruction of Nature, gather from the ground and awaken! Raze all greenery with Flame! Flare!" He swung his sword towards Krinkinko, and the ground under him burst into a pillar of flames. "Your leaf shields should not be able to withstand this!"

Krinkinko:Oh the elder, Fa-La-Stu,Smash,Pearl,Droget,Turbo,Artixunio,Nyx,Mint,Jonik,Snap,lend my thy power yo counter this attack. (Pillars of rainbow energy shrouded Krinkinko and bursts out of the ground and starts to rap around Kyle.

"Wh-What is this!?" Kyle gasped, getting wrapped around the energy. He did his best to try and break through.

Krinkinko:It's the power of my friends. (The energy tightens since Smash isn't giving his energy it loosens but then it starts to use the powers of ice,ground,fire,lightning,nature,poison,air,fighting,ghost,dark and friendship)

Since the Gemblade absorbs most elements related to that of the gems inside, a little more than half of it was not affecting him. "If-Gnngh!-That is even possible.." Kyle managed to say through being squeezed. "Then..I should be able..to summon...the power of all of MY friends!" He said. "Oh holy gems of the Gemblade, Lend me thy strength...Smash..Frost..Keela..Pearl...Splice.....Mother...Everyone...If you can hear my plea, lend me the power to once again fight for your cause!" The Gemblade reacted first, glowing brightly in response. He just barely managed to shove the blade into the ground about halfway. "Lend me the power to rid this world of evil, to shine the holy light upon the darkness and spread peace and prosperity around the world! Oh, Gems of the Gemblade, And all of my friends who I love dearly, Lend Me Thy Power!" Repeating as it did before, the Gems shot out of the blade's handle and powered up, soon returning to the sword and letting off another flash of light. When the light faded, the rainbow energy had released him. Kyle was in his super form again, but the form soon diminished, as the Gemblade was still facing some effects from it's energy drain earlier. "Our friends have helped us, but in the end, this is something we must finish by ourselves." He said.

Krinkinko:(Nodded)But...I DOUBT I HAVE ANY FRIENDS SINCE YOUR MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT ME BITING YOUR TAIL! (He leaped for kyle while doing savage melee attacks.)

Voice: Enough! *Krink and Kyle are frozen in place* Under normal circumstances, I would let you two continue, considering the fact that technically no real rules have been broken. However... to me, Mr. Krinkinko's methods are very unorthodox. You're clearly torturing the boy with no intent on finishing him. I say this match is to go to a mortal draw! *the ring is instantly repaired and the two fighters are moved to opposite sides of it* The rules of a mortal draw are simple. You will strike eachother once simultaneously. Whoevers hit is successful and/or more effective wins. This madness has gone on for far too long and must be settled. When both fighters are ready, you may begin.

Krinkinko:I'm ready! I'm tired of being a loser! (Crying)My parents died because of a coward echidna! I died then was revived because of a coward named eggman.NOW EVERYONE HATES ME BECAUSE OF MY DARK FORM!? No more I'm ready to stop being a baby. I'M READY FOR MY DESTINY! ARE YOU READY KYLE!?

Kyle shook his head. "Do not bring personal matters into this." He said. He flashed him a serious look. "And do not even think for a second that you are the only victim of a cruel life!" He spun his sword around and held the tip behind him. "For this, I will not use the power of the Gemblade. I shall use my own strength." He said. "I am ready."

Voice: Then let the mortal draw... begin!

After all I have been through in this long, harsh battle...I must not fail. Kyle thought, as he gripped his sword tightly. ''I have put my honor into this battle, and went as far as to fight for the sake of others as well as myself. I musn't fail them!'' Putting all of his strength behind the attack, Kyle swiftly brought the blade away from his back and swung diagonally, the sword slashing towars Krinkinko's bottom right side to his upper left.

Krinkinko:(At the exact same time as Kyle since the Voice said sumutaneously) I don't give a crap if you say no personal matters! (Runs Super fast in a spinning formation with his sword in front of him so fast it picks up dust about to ram into Kyle)

With precision, Kyle managed to clash his blade against his, diverting it away from himself. However, with Krinkinko still going at the speed he was, he was knocked back. He lost his balance and fell on his behind, however, he was barely harmed.

Krinkinko: (He skidded back too but he did so with such speed his shoes and feet caught on fire but Krinkinko shook it off with a tear in his eye as the flame died down and Krinkinko calmed)

Voice: ...Interesting. It appears... that Krinkinko is the winner. Kyle, your technique was spectacular, but it was flawed. Krinkinko's speed and endurance are clearly forces to be reckoned with. You will go far in life Kyle, but you still have much to learn. Any words from the victor?

''Had I used the power of the Gemblade, I might have won. But in it's current state, I'm afraid to use too much of it...'' He thought. "Very well." He said. "Congratulations, Krinkinko. I only have one more thing to say to you." He gave him a serious look. "You must learn to control your dark form." Krinkinko: (Victory dancing as Kyle speaks) Okay got it. It's weird the dark form is like a horrible split personality. (Holds out hand to help Kyle up)

Voice: Excelent sportsmanship from the both of you, always nice to see. You two should definitely get some rest. That battle was... well, it was something alright. And Krinkinko, I strongly suggest you take Kyle's advice. *the two are teleported back to the locker room*

Liger Moyasu Versus Duskorion the Hedgehog
Voice: Would Liger and Dusk please report to ring two. Liger and Dusk to ring two.

(Liger crash lands as if he were Kirby on a Warp Star)

Saizo Marushagan Versus the Host of the Championship
(Saizo appears in an isolated ring, standing opposite a generic, motionless android. The android begins to shake and glow orange, and the voice starts talking through it)

Android: Here, you and me, we battle. For fun, yes?

"... If you insist..." Saizo drew a single gold kunai from his pocket before twirling it around his finger. "Fighting a trashcan on legs should be fun."

Android: Believe me Mr. Marushagan, this android is simply for show. An idle host to my divine spirit. On a more appropriate note... make your move. An honourable fighter never takes the first strike. You clearly have no honour, so you should have no problem. *raises arms, seemingly leaving himself wide open* Go ahead.

"Oh? And using a scrap metal body to fight me is "honorable", is it?" Saizo said; he found the remark to be insulting to his name. "Fine, I'll take the first move..." Saizo flung the kunai towards the robot; it was fast, especially considering all his did was flick his wrist. The kunai charged through the air, aiming to pierce the robot through the head.

Android: (the kunai was stopped dead by an invisible barrier) Ha! Clearly you are poorly trained in the ways of Chaos Energy. Otherwise you would have expected the obvious Chaos Protect spell. And for your information, my true form is that which you are unworthy to lay eyes upon. Now... pay for your insolence. *fires a bolt of energy at Saizo*

"... fool." Saizo smirked. he vanished, completely, instead appearing right in front of the android, where the kunai landed, and drove his fist into the barrier. The force was reckoning to say the least; enough force would of been applied to cleanly puncture steel. Who knows what it would do to a Chaos Barrier. "I know a lot about Chaos Energy. But you're just another person to fall for my scapegoat."

Android: Your brute force cannot pierce a Chaos Protect of this power. But... because I believe in fairness... *drops the barrier and jabs Saizo in the chest*

Saizo quickly turned sideways with his left side facing forwards. The jab collided with Saizo's demon skin before scraping away past him. "Not bad. Not good either." Saizo gabbed at the arm that the android struck with and tossed it into the air. "I likely will not require full force against you." Saizo clamped his hands together to his mouth before inhaling deeply. "Fire Style, Great Fireball Jutsu." Exhaling harshly, a huge ball of fire, several times bigger than Saizo himself, was directed towards the android at a fast velocity. Dodging would be a slight option, should the android be able to dodge in mid-air, and fast enough to get around the fireball's large circumference.

Android: *steadies himself in the air and kicks the fireball off to the side* Hmm, impressive... that is, if I were a child. Even then I could easily dispose of you. *orange glow turns red: Chaos Boost. The Android disappears and several blows are dealt to Saizo from all sides at incredible speeds*

"Sure thing..." Saizo noticed the android disappear, but it wasn't much trouble to him. His eye seemed to gleam, and he could begin to capture glimpses of the android at it began each attack. Saizo blocked the first two, but the third managed to collide with him in the side, although it was the left side, which left Saizo feeling a bit wobbly but otherwise in no serious amount of pain. Saizo couldn't help but smile before catching the androids fists with his own hands. "It's been a while since anyone has hit me. Good job." Saizo smirked before his hands began to glow a translucent white color.

Android: *the red glow brightened: Stage 2* Hm... nice catch. *A powerful electric shock is sent through Saizo*

"Hm!" Saizo grunted. The initial shock was painful at first, but the entire left side of his body began to earth the lightning into the ground, and Saizo still stood firmly. Smirking, he felt his grip loosen on the android's hands. Not because he was loosing his grip, but because the Android's hands were starting to dissolve away. The fingers were already gone, and only the palms remained. "Should of let go while you had the chance, unless you want to risk more of your hands dissolving away."

Android: *hands flash green and are instantly repaired* Loose what now? *red glow brightens: Stage 3* Farewell. Chaos... BLAST!!! *the explosion engulfs the entire ring and more, leaving few places to hide*

It was a rather ...large attack, to say the least. Dust, smoke, dirt, tiles were kicked up from the explosion. "... superb..." The dust clouds began to settle, and there stood Saizo, a few feet away from the android, seemingly unscathed. "It's not often that I need to use Izanagi. But, kudo's for making me have to. That attack would of surely... hm, I'd say "kill", but that's not entirely possible. "Done some significance" would be a better phrase." Saizo kicked up the kunai from the ground from some time ago, catching it in his hand. "So you can regenerate on a molecular level, and you possess Chaos abilities. I guess removing your body entirely with a single attack is the way to do it." Saizo smirked and shook his head. "I can only do it one of two ways, but I'm not going to use either one. I don't like to show my hand to my opponent."

Android: Really? Then would you mind if I show you mine? *raises hand and fires a Hellfire*

"Sure, you can do," Saizo said, before just stepping out of the way of the attack, clearing it by a foot or so. "If you don't mind me stepping out of the way. Not that i'd need to, mind you..."

Android: *begins to pace* I have to admit, Mr. Marushagan, you are an admirable fighter. Your personality leaves much to be desired, but that's another story. *an orange jewel appears in his hand* Do you see what this is? This is a Mayhem Ruby. These gems are granted to only the most worthy warriors. You, my friend, would never be given one even if your life depended on it. I know this, for I created them. It's holds a great amount of power, more than I believe you currently have in your entire body. *throws the gem to Saizo* Show me what you can do with such power. I am curious.

"You say I would never be given one," Saizo said, looking down at it; it seemed to gleam, to sparkle, as though resonating with his own energy. "yet you give one to me... This power is great, of course; for exceeding what I believed to be possible..." Saizo sighed and looked back at the android before tossing it back to him. "I have paid the price in my search for power. The only strength I believe in now is that of my own. Give the gem to someone else; I've no interest in it."

Android: Congradulations, Mr. Marushagan. Most beings would fall before the awsome power of the Mayhem Rubies. You gave it up willingly, realizing that it was not for right for you to behold. Whatever you may believe, I know that's the reason. Don't get me wrong, I still plan on winning this fight, but now I will do it while respecting my opponent. *the red glow fades back to orange. The Android rushes towards Saizo at unimaginable speeds and throws several more jabs*

Saizo's eye began to gleam again; the movement was faster, with the single eye being unable to keep up with most movement. Saizo managed to parry the attacks, then at the last punch, placed his hand on the fist and pushed himself backwards to get some distance. Saizo quickly placed his left hand over his mask and pulled it away, revealing a second Emeragan, as well as a hardened demon skin with demon-like visage over the left side of his face. "Well, I should be able to see you much more clearly now. Anyway..." Saizo took out eight gold kunai and tossed all of them towards his opponent and blinding speeds, targetting several points on the android that, in a human, would be considered fatal.

Android: *kunai bounced off and caught on fire upon hitting the ground* I must say, you are very pretty Mr. Marushagan(sarcasm). But this is how you pierce an opponent. *creates an energy blade and begins slashing at Saizo*

Saizo didn't care; bouncing off his was what he aimed to do. As the kunai landed, Saizo manipulated them in a circle around the android. The android began to attack, but Saizo merely smirked and appeared at one kunai instantaneously and took a slash at the android. Saizo then kept shifting from one kunai to another, slashing at eight possible different angles within milliseconds of eachother; that was the Infinite Omnibreaker.

Android: *takes each hit, and is quickly torn to pieces. After a few seconds, though, the pile of parts disappears in a puff of smoke. The android then appears behind Saizo* Suprise, Mr. Marushagan. *stabs Saizo in the back*

"gah!" Saizo gave a small yelp as the blade punctured through his skin and through his back. Saizo couldn't help but smile; the pain was... great. The initial sting with the numb feeling present now was almost too good for him. "Ah... I only let you hit me... just to experience the feeling of pain again. It makes me feel good to be alive!" Saizo turned his waist slightly to use his leg to push the android from him, with the blade unsheathing from his flesh. Saizo hunched over for a bit before standing upright again. "That was great... But it's time to finish this." Saizo said, smirking, with energy crackling from his eyes as black embers began to form in front of him. "Amaterasu... should finish you." The black flames dashes to the android, unrelentlessly. Being touched by them would mean vaporization.

Android: *orange glow brightens in a blinding flash* Believe what you must, but I know you are resorting to desperate measures... meaning I am almost finished. *the light fades revealing the flames to be held in place by an unseen force* This is my world. Your magic means nothing here. I control all. *the flames fly towards Saizo, but stop in front of his face*

"Oh? Interesting. But calling this "Magic" shows you have no knowledge of my powers." Saizo extended his left arm and grasped at his flames, merging them with his arms as they flickered around it. "Only one person here controls my flames, and that's me." Saizo said with a grin; being in contact with his flames meant he had more control over them. regardless if he did or not, Amaterasu doesn't harm the user. "This isn't so much as "drastic" as it is "I can't be bothered to prolong this fight any longer"." Saizo smirked lightly, looking down at the ground. "Besides... You're in the circle." Of course, that meant the ring of kunai around the android. Disappearing, Saizo would yet again use the Infinite Omnibreaker, but instead of his Masamune sword, he used fast, powerful stabs with his hand.

Android:* takes each hit, but they are much less damaging than last time* You know... this won't work on the real thing like it did the duplicate. So, to save you the trouble... *the kunai are absorbed into the ring* Now you have nowhere to go. *grabs Saizo by the neck and releases another electric shock*

Saizo just stood there. he took the electric shocks, but this time it wasn't... doing anything. Having a grip around his neck, all electricity immediately went to his left side, into the demon hide, then earthed into the ground. Saizo smirked at this, but also the revelation of his attacks. "You think so?" Saizo said, pointing around the android. "My new attack has done more than just punctures. The flames of amaterasu are already burning away at the body. And they'll keep burning, until there's nothing left." True to his word, the body already started to burn away, as well as the joints in the shoulders, neck and lower area. Soon enough, the arm that was grabbing Saizo burned off and kept burning away, while the rest of the body slowly crumbled. "Like I said; you have no idea of what I can do. I've already seen your powers, but you've yet to see a fraction of mine." Saizo raised his hand in front of his, when suddenly the kunai burst from the ground before gathering around Saizo. "As much fun as I've had, just admit that you have lost. Better yet, you can just crown me the champion now." Saizo laughed jokingly; he was having... fun. His opponent was strong, but Saizo's experience led him to fight on equal terms.

Android: You have won, have you? *voice begins to distort from face melting away* I should crown you the champion? You've seen my power!? Clearly you know nothing. *the body melts away completely*

Voice: I'm not finished! That android was to give you an advantage. I felt bad for you, losing to something you couldn't even see. You've only made it harder on yourself. *the ring begins to morph into a gelatinous state. It moulded around Saizo, and he was bombarded with energy slashes. A face shapes in the mass* It's over, Mr. Marushagan. My power is infinate. You may have many tricks still hidden up your sleeve, but if I let them, they will run out. Mine, on the other hand, *gelatinous substance begins to burn through Saizo's flesh* will not. You have lost.

"Hm..." Saizo remained unusually calm. The energy slashes were no problem; as one was about to strike, he just teleported to a kunai that was out of range from the slash' hit zone. When the goo began to form, then he knew he was in it. "I'm not one to lose..." Saizo's own energy began to swell to powerful proportions; much more immense than before. In a sudden burst of golden light, Saizo burst through the top of the gelatinous mold and suspended in the air, formed with two dragon wings, two horns that extended backwards from his forehead, and a large gold dragon tail. "You call this a fight? It's just me dancing circles around you." Saizo taunted, smirking at his... or whatever it was, that was his opponent. "You give me a couple of jump scares and apparently that's supposed to convince me that I can't win. Sure." Lifting his hand again, the kunai burst from the gelatinous form and encircle Saizo again. "I might be something else to make you go to such extremes, like not being able to fight me one on one. I'm almost disappointed."

(after another orange flash, the room goes completely dark. A figure appears in front of Saizo, but it is too dark to see... even if you can see in the dark)

Voice: Fine then, have it your way. *there is a purple burst of pure energy: Chaos Vortex. All energy was immediately drained from Saizo, leaving a nearly lifeless body to fall to the ground below. The figure stands above Saizo* I didn't want to, but you left me no choice. You were persistant, I'll give you that, but no match for Vortex magic... no one is. *places a finger on Saizo's forehead, burning a diamond-shaped crosshair into his flesh* Goodbye Mr. Marushagan... enjoy your first match. *Saizo is teleported back to the locker room, with all energy returned to him by the host*
