Roleplay:World Hero Tournament

Overview
Basically this is a contest to decide the greatest hero (or villain) in existence. Held by Laniatus, the Lady of Heroes, and Nemesis, the Lord of Chaos. The tournament will take place in the realm of neutrality (where said lords reside), Betwixt and Between, and arena's and opponents will be chosen by said lords. Anyone can enter, even villains. I don't think I need to say this, but.......NO GODMODDING!!! Be fair, and everything will be fun.

Feel free to add to any of the categories below!!

'Nemesis + Laniatus's Tournament Rules'


 * 'All fighting is restricted to tournament matches only. Violators will be disqualified'
 * 'Competitors, arenas and match rules shall be chosen by the Lords of Good and Chaos'
 * 'Any fighter who is killed during the tournament will be ressurected once the match has ended'
 * 'Those not participating in matches can choose to either spectate or train in Betwixt and Between (Part 1C for now)'
 * 'Outside help is prohibited during matches. Fighters can only rely on their abilities and whatever items they may have or come accross.'
 * 'In rare cases, when a match is obviously won, or if one fighter clearly no longer stands a chance, L+N may intervene and declare a winner.'
 * Also, please be reasonable and realistic during fights. e.g. I don't know anyone with infinite energy/stamina or who can survive lethal attacks. In other words, no God-modding. It will be spotted, and a warning will be given. If it continues, instant disqualification.

Part 1 (introduce your characters and get them into the tournament)
Somewhere in Greenhillzone, Sonic is, as usual, running...

Sonic: This place is so nostalgic!

(a letter fals from the sky and lands in front of him)

Sonic: Hm? It's for me? World Hero Tournament? Sounds interesting..

(Sonic suddenly vanishes in a bright white flash)

On Angel Island...

Knuckles: (sitting next to the Master Emerald, stretching, until he notices a mysterious letter next to him) A letter? World Hero Tournament? I wonder what that is? (vanishes)

(At Duan's house)

Duan: (A letter appeared right next to him) A letter? World Hero Tournament?! Too cool!

(With Duan's friends)

Duan's friend no. 1: What's that? (Points at a letter on the ground)

Duan's friend no. 2: Dunno. Kinda looks like a letter.

Duan's friend no. 3: Let me see that... World Hero Tournament... We have got to make this. We need to.

Duan's friend no. 4: Yeah. You're gonna be REALLY frantic planning this. This kind of thing takes work.

Duan's friend no. 3: Who cares, let's go!

(With RMG-24)

RMG-24: WORLD HERO TOURNAMENT? I AM A VILLAIN, I DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN HERO TOURNAMENTS... UNLESS DUAN SHOWS UP... I WILL EXTERMINATE HIM!!!

(in the ruins of Poppy Village)

Ichiro walked amongst the fallen buildings, searching for something he had lost long ago. Within the rubble, he found a small piece of paper. "Hmm? This is... an invitation? World Hero Tournament... I suppose it wouldn't do to much harm to at least observe this tournament." he said before vanishing.

In Green Flower City, Smash was outside, checking the mail. His sister, Pearl, was sweeping the front porch next to him. "Hm? What's this fancy looking letter here?" Smash pondered aloud. Pearl looked up from her chore, curiously.

"What is it, Smash?" She asked.

"Got some anonymous letter here, and pretty nicely decorated." Smash said, holding the letter up. After observing the envelope, finding no return address, he opened it up and read the letter. "...World Hero Tournament..." He muttered. "Interesting."

"Hey, Lemme see that." She grabbed the letter and read it. "..That's your name right there." She pointed at the bottom. "It's an invitation."

"Yeah, I know. But from who is what I wanna-" Before he could finish his sentence, The both of them disappeared.

Meanwhile, another letter happened to float its way into the face of a sleeping halfbreed dragon. He snorted and woke up to find his vision obscured.

"Whoa! What the heck?!" he said, grabbing at the paper on his face and pulling it off.

"Oh...it's a letter. Pretty official looking one, too..."

He started to read it.

"A World Hero Tournament?"

He looked at the invite at the bottom.

"Cool..."

Before he could say anything else, however, he disappeared in a flash of bright light.

In a moonlit Shamar, Ookamoni was wandering around, contemplating...well...everything. He thought about Lorelei, Maxda, everything. It filled him with sorrow, which turned to hatred. Sheer hatred for Mazda for turning Lori against him. He needed to vent his wrath, but how...?

Suddenly, like a snowflake in winter, a letter fell from the sky. It spoke of a tournament, the best hero/villain? This was perfect. Placing the letter in his belt, Ookamoni raced to the site of this titanic battle, ready for the next bloodbath.

Dragoeith: (at the mountain sleeping that is untill he notices a strange letter next to him) A tourment? That sounds interesting. (vanishes)

Part 1B
(Fighters appear in a heavenly area)

Sonic: Whoa! Where the heck am I?

Knuckles: (appears) What the fu-- Sonic? What are you doing here? Wherever, here is.

Cold:(Drops from a tree)Hey Knux hey Bluehog.

Knuckles: You again?

Sonic: Nice to see ya!

Banzai: (appears) Whoa! Where the....Sonic? Knux? Cold? What are you guys doing here?

(Two celestial beings suddenly appear in front of them. One of them is a blonde woman in a long white robe, while the other is a hooded man in a black robe)

Laniatus: Greetings heroes. My name is laniatus, and I am the physical embodiment of all the good in the world.

Nemesis: And I am Nemesis, and I am the physical embodiment of all the evil in the world.

Laniatus: We have brought you here do find out which of you is worth of the title, "Universal Champion."

Nemesis: We have gathered the most powerful heroes and villains in existence to do battle and answer our question.

Sonic: Wait, wait, wait. Villains? I thought this was the World "Hero" Tournament?

Laniatus: That is the name, but we must have fighters representing Nemesis as well.

Banzai: (appears) Whoa! Where the....Sonic? Knux? Cold? What are you guys doing here?

Flame:Ow,what's going on?

The Red Baron:Hmmmm.

LT:Hey dudes.:)

Nemesis: Since people are arriving at random, I'll just put up the rules to the tournament right here.

Laniatus: Are there any questions? No? Then prepare for the matches scheduled for tomorrow!

Dragoeith:here.

1st Match
At Crystal falls...

Laniatus: You may begin

Knuckles: Hope you guys are ready!

Khan: (pulls out his Atom Bat) Don't get cocky Echidna!

(Meanwhile, back at the Palace, all other characters observe the match on a giant screen)

Sonic: Good luck Knux!

Khan: Dodge this! (swings his atom bat at Tsunami)

Knuckles: (charges after Flare)

Tsunami: (stops the bat with a hookblade made of water. swings the other at Khan)

Flare: (dissappears)

Khan: (Jumps away from Tsunami, but floats in the air) Wow! I can fly!?

Nemesis: Sorry, I uh, forgot. In this match, all contenders have the power to defy gravity and levitate. Proceed.

Laniatus: From now on I'm in charge of the rules.

Knux: Sweet! (Jumps up and floats in the air)

(Knux is hit from behind)

Tsunami: i can do that anyway, but alright. (flies straight toward Khan)

Khan: Come at me! (fires a lightning bolt at Tsunami)

Knux: Arg! All I need to do is focus....

Tsunami: (the lightning swerves around her. she swings her hookblades at Khan)

(Knux is hit in the face by an invisible force)

Knux: (Guards it) Why don't you come out and fight me?

Khan: (Guards with his staff) That the best you can do?

Tsunami: (hooks the blades around the staff and kicks him with both feet)

Flare: (appears in front of Knux, an uncaring look on her face. she is holding a mace made of light over her shoulder)

Knux: There you are. (Punches her in the gut)

Khan: (Grabs her feet and throws her into a neaby mountain)

Tsunami: (water from the falls wraps around her leg and flings her at Khan. a spinning ball of water appears in one hand) Tsunami's Rasengan!

Flare: (explodes in a burst of light. her voice is heard nearby) you don't think i'd actually face you, when i can beat you down unseen, do you?

Knux: Oh yeah? (Drills into the earth)

Khan: Two can play that game! (Charges his staff with a massive amount of electricity) Chidori Blade!

Tsunami: (the rasengan dissapates and she rolls throught the air to the side. the air in her palm begins to distort)

Flare: (appears beside Khan and grabs him by the arm)

Khan: Can't touch this! (Streams electricity through his arm and electrocutes Flare)

Knux: There you are! (Punches flare in the head)

Flare: (explodes in a burst of light)

Tsunami: you keep falling for her light clones! (a ball of electricity appears in her hand, lightning lancing off in all directions. she charges throught the air at Knux) Tsunami's Lightning Blade!

Khan: (appears in front of her and guards with his Chidori Blade)

Knux: I'm starting to hate her..

Khan: What, out of ideas?

Khan: take this! (Swings his electrically charged staff at Tsunami)

(Flame shouldn't be in this match)

Knux: Are you too scared to face me yourself?

Tsunami: (swings her Lightning Blade at Khan)

Flare: (appears behind Knux and swings her mace at him)

Knux: (catches the mace) That all ya got?

Khan: (Ducks under it) Take this! (punches her with an electrically charged fist)

Flare: (kicks Knux in teh groin)

Tsunami: (takes Khan's hit and flies straight up, panting a bit from her own Lightning Blade)

Knux: Ow! That was a dirty move!

Khan: Now, for the finisher! (charges up his staff with a massive amount of electrical energy)

Flare: Tsunami! (throws her mace at Tsunami. it spins in the air)

Tsunami: (sees Flare's strategy. gets in front of the mace. the handle slams into the center of her forehead. a wave of color washes over her streaks, changing them from cyan to yellow)

Nemesis: (Suddenly appears) If you are tranforming into someone else,you should know that the rules forbid it. You must rely on your own abilities for this fight, not someone else's.

Tsunami: (hand on her forehead) these are my abilities. the only thing my other half can do is absorb long-range attacks. useless against a close-range fighter like Khan and Knux. this is my disrupted form.

Nemesis: My apologies. Continue.

Khan: Okay....Where was I? Oh yea...Thunderfall!!

The sky darkened, thunder erupted, and then, out of nowhere, a gigantic bolt of lighting, with a bright flash, struck Tsunami

Tsunami: (holds one hand up. the lightning stops just short of the hand) i never mentioned my powers in disrupted form. normally, im hydrokinetic and therefore any electric attacks take a great deal of power to use. however, in disrupted form, i am electrokinetic. (fires the bolt of lightning back at Khan)

Khan: Dammit. (he dodges for his life!) Knux, wanna switch opponents?

Knux: Sure thing! (flies into the air and punches Tsunami)

Khan: Let's see if I can beat you! (fires 3 balls of electricity at Flare)

Flare: (the light mace reappears in her hand)

Khan: Hah! (the balls explode, creating 3 explosions of bright bluish sparks)

(the smoke clears, revealing a large ball of light. the ball dissappears and three Flare's are floating where it used to be)

Flare 1: (charges at Khan from the left)

Flare 2: (charges at Khan from the right)

Flare 3: (charges at Khan from the front)

Khan: (Swung his staff around him, taking care of all the clones) That the best you can do? Come on you coward.

Flare: (slams into Khan from behind)

Khan: Ah! (he falls on the ground) Nice move, but look at the sky, it's still dark. That means...

(A bolt of lightning suddenly strikes Flare)

Flare: (her mace becomes much longer. she jams one end into the ground and holds the other end above her, using the weapon as a lightning rod)

Khan: Dammit.

Knux: (Punches Flare in the head) Gotcha!

Flare: (takes the hit and kicks him back)

Disrupted Tsunami: (fires a bolt of lightning at Knux) im your opponent!

Khan: (Steps in front of the bolt and absorbs it with his staff) not anymore!

Knux: Heh, you should have dodged that. (catches Flare's kick) Atom Blast! (When KNuckles punched Flare, he split an atom in the air, creating a massive explosion and sending everyone flying)

Flare: (in a ball of light)

D Tsunami: (blocks with a wall of lightning)

Khan: (jumps through the wall, absorbing it with his staff, and jabs the staff into Tsunami's neck)

Knux: Hyah! (Smashes a massive boulder on Flare)

2nd Match
Nemesis: Might as well begin the next fight. Are all the participants present? Speak up!

2nd match: Banzai vs Espio vs LT vs Cold

Cold:Fine.

Banzai: Ready!

Espio: Hm.

Laniatus: LT?

LT:ZZZZzzzz!

Cold:(Slaps LT)WAKE UP!

LT:I'M UP MOM....oh lets fight.

Nemesis: *Sigh* The fight will take place in the Chasm of Eternity (refer to above photos). There is no top or bottom of the chasm as it goes on for all....eternity. You may also use the coloured orbs in the arena to teleport to random places. Are you ready?

Laniatus: Then let us begin!

(Transports everyone to the chasam of eternity)

N+L: Begin!

Espio: Shall we get going? (throws a giant shuriken at Cold)

Banzai: Here we go! (Shoot a blast of energy out of his staff at LT)

LT(Jumps in the air)

Banzai: (Jumps after him) You're not getting away!

LT:Music ray!

Banzai: (quickly jumps out of the way) What kind of attack was tha--uh oh (he falls into the chasm) AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!

Espio: Banzai!

Banzai: (Falls from above and smashes his staff on LT's head) Hyah!!!

Espio: Hm, so, anything that falls down, appears on top. That's how this chasm is eternal.

Cold(Freezes Banzai feet)There you go.

Banzai: What the? GYYYAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhh........(he continues to fall down/up the chasm)

Espio: Shadow Clone Jutsu! (Creates 3 clones and sends them after Cold)

Cold:(Kick one of the clone,stapes one of the clone,and cuts one clone neck)

Espio: (appears behind Cold and throws a kunai at him)

LT:(Kicks Espio)

Cold:Lets end this.

LT:Yeah dude.

Cold&LT:CHAOS KAIO-KEN(both powers up with a power level OVER 9000,and their pupils vanish)!

Cold&LT:(A blot of red and green energy shots up into the sky)

Banzai: (Lands next to Espio) What's that?

Espio: I don't know, but I don't want to find out. Hm! (throws two massive shuriken at Cold and LT)

Cold&LT:(Blot out red and green energy around them,and attacks Shadow,Espio,and Banzai)

Espio and Banzai manage to get out of the way. Banzai then pointed his staff towards Cold and LT ans started charging a large amount of energy into it. "Particle Beam!!" A huge, green energy beam fired out of the tip of his staff was heading towards Cold and LT.

Cold&LT:(Got hit by the beam,but does nothing)

Banzai: What?

Espio: Let's see how this works. (forms hand signs) Fireball Jutsu! (Blows a huge fireball at Cold and LT)

Cold&LT:(Got hit by the fire ball,it hurts them,but they keep going)

Espio: Dammit! (jumps out of the way of Cold&LT's attack)

Banzai: (Spins his staff and tries to block the attack)

Cold&LT:(Goes in the sky and does a chaos bomb that destroys everything in sight)

Banzai: Chaos Control! (teleports out of the blast)

Espio: Gyaaaaahhhh! (disappears in a flash of light.)

Nemesis: Espio is out of the match.

Cold&LT:(Does Super Chaos bomb)

Banzai: I've had just about enough of this. (He charges his staff with a massive amount of chaos energy)

Cold&LT:(Does Super Chaos Bomb at Banzai)

Banzai: (Holding his staff like a bat) HYAH!! (Hits the Super Chaos Bomb back at Cold and LT)

Cold&LT:(Appears behind Banzai and does a two person rock kick)

Banzai: Ah! (Gets hit into a pillar) Grr. Dammit. Fighting two of them is going to be hard. Maybe I can try this. (Charges towards Cold and puts on his goggles)

LT:(Grabs Banzai and throws him)Chaos blast!

Banzai: Got it! (Banzai uses his tail to flip around one of the columns and out of the blast's range. Now, for this! B-Trans! (He disappears in a puff of smoke. A second later, a hedgehog looking a lot like Cold is standing in his place, only with Banzai's signature tail and big ears) Whoa, can't wait to see how you're powers work.

Overpowered Cold:Damn it!

Overpowered LT:What is that?

Banzai tested out his new powers by freezing a nearby pillar, then punching it to pieces. "With my regular strength and your ice powers, I think I might be able to win this!" With that, he charged towards LT and punched him in the face.

Overpowered Cold:(Kicks Banzai)My power is not a joke!

Banzai: (Grabs Cold's leg) Neither is mine! (He throws Cold into a nearby pillar) Now for you! (freezes LT's arms & legs)

Overpowered LT:Damn,I'm trap!

Overpowered Cold:CHAOS BOMB(blows up the area Banzai is on)!

Banzai: Whoa! (get blown away by the explosion) Rrg. Try this! (Shoots a big ball of chaos energy down the chasm)

Overpowered Cold:Okay lets end this(Powers up).

Overpowered LT:(Melts him self)Do it till you lose it(Powers up).

(The energy blast Banzai shot earlier falls from above and hits Cold)

Overpowered Cold:Ow!

Banzai: Good, he's distracted (jumps up, grabs him with his tail and tosses him into the air) Let's end this!

Overpowered Cold:ICE BLAST!

Banzai: I still have your abilities! (charges through the blast) Now, try this!! (His fists start glowing a blazing yellow energy) CHAOS BLITZ!! (Rapidly punches Cold, burning him with fiery punches)

Overpowered Cold:(Blood come out his mouth)You have my powers and my weakness,LT NOW!

Banzai: (Finishes off Cold by kicking him into the Chasm, hard)

Overpowered Cold:Ow!

Overpowered LT: Fire Guster Buster(Hits Banzai and burns him)!

Banzai: Ahhh!!! I'd better ditch Cold's powers before I take too much damage! (Changes back to normal)

Overpowered LT:(Pick Cold up and Fly's to the sky)SUPER CHAOS BOMB(wipes the area clean)!

Banzai: Dammit!! I hope I can hold this! (Tries to absorb as much of the energy as he can into the gem in his staff, but still gets hurt by the blast) *Pant* Not yet.

Overpowered LT:(Tries to wake Cold up)Dude!WAKE UP!

Banzai: *Pant* You there...guy who likes music....take this...(points his staff at LT, and releases the energy from the Super Chaos Bomb and fires it at him)

Overpowered LT:COLD WAKE UP!

Overpowered LT:(Tries to stop it)DAMN IT COLD THE HEDGEHOG IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP!

Banzai: Now, for the final touch! (Charges his staff with energy, and throws it at LT and Cold)

(Cold vanishes in a flash of light)

Nemesis: Cold has been defeated.

3rd Match
Laniatus: Will all those participating in the 3rd match please report here? (Round 1)

Ichiro walked in saying, "I am ready. And my opponents are?"

"Heh, looks like we're fighting already." Thetis suddenly appears next to him. "Smash and Koutuumath are coming soon."

Kotuumath then walked in.

"Took you long enough," Thetis remarked. Kotuumath regarded him with a glare.

Smash then arrived. "Alright..Huh. So this is a battle royal, is it? This is new." He commented.

A screen appeared, showing a vast, grassy plain, illuminated by the light of a full moon.

"You will be fighting in the Moonlit Prairie. Is everyone ready?"

"And we get different locations with each battle, too?" Smash's eyebrows rose. "Man, I've been in the gritty Blitz Pit for too long." He somewhat joked with himself. "Yeah I'm ready."

"Ah... a full moon," Ichiro sighed, "Excellent. I am ready."

"Let's do this!" said Kotuumath, snorting out white smoke.

Laniatus smiled. "Good. This match has special rules. At certain points during the match, a crystal ball will appear, containing a helpful item, from fire flowers to chaos emeralds. However, their effects are temporary, so use them wisely. Now, let us leave." The goddess and the four fighters vanish in a bright flash of light.

They all reappeared in the moonlit prairie, ready for battle.

The goddess hovered over them. "You may begin." And then she disappeared, and the brawl began.

Smash stroked his chin. "Fire flowers? Never heard of em..." He said to himself. But they then appeared in the grassy field. "Alright. Lets get started.." He got into his traditional battle stance.

Thetis stretched his arms, and then cracked his neck. "Finally. I've been waiting for a chance to show my powers." He extended both arms, and then and invisible force hit Smash, Ichiro and Kotuumath.

The halfbreed flew back, and then returned using his wings. A golden longsword materialized in his left claw.

Ichiro faded upon impact, and reappeared a few feet over. "You're going to have to do better than that, Thetis," he called out.

Smash was struck by the force, but only took a step back. "That can't be all you've got." He said.

Thetis chuckled a bit, then responded. "Fine. Show me what you can do first, then I'll know how much power to use."

"Hmph. That's generally what I do." Smash said.

Ichiro faded once more, then an image of Thetis appeared in front of the real one. "Show yourself," it shouted before jabbing Thetis in the chest.

"You're gonna have to try harder." the other Thetis's fist suddenly stopped centimeters from the real one's chest. "Bye bye." With a flick of his fingers, he blasted the other Thetis a mile away. He then looked to Smash. "Now for you..."

Smash stood his ground, keeping a good eye on him. "Don't think you can shake me off with a flick of your finger." He warned him.

Without warning, the wolf appeared behind him, his hand glowing a strange green colour. "Maybe not, but I can with this!" With amazing speed, he choped Smash in the leg.

Relying solely on instincts, Smash made a quick hop into the air, kicking his legs into a folded position to dodge the attack and landed back on his feet. ''A bit predictable so far. But he's definitely holding back.'' Smash thought. He faced the wolf with a calm, yet serious expression on his face. He still didn't make a move.

Thetis had a rather bored expression on his face, but was actually analyzing his opponents. ''That echidna worries me. He refuses to show any of his abilities, preventing me from forming any strategies. And for the dragon, He seems like the kind who uses brute force. For now I must make the echidna show his strength. ''"Well if you won't come to me, I'll bring you in." The same invisible force from before struck Smash, only instead of repelling him, he was suddenly pulled into Thetis with great force to meet his glowing palm.

"Well this is interesting." Smash said as he began to slide towards Thetis. He waited until he got close enough to him. If this is what he wants, lets just see what happens once I give it to him. Once he was at the desired position, Smash lashed out with a powerful swing with his arm to knock Thetis' arm away, following up with a straight kick to his stomach.

"Ouch" Thetis held his stomach, surprised by Smash's attack. "Impressive. Most people can't move while I'm pulling them in. However, you should have avoided my hand." Thetis gave him a sly smile as Smash realized he couldn't move his arm. "I severed you muscles and cut off your nerve signals. You shouldn't be able to use that arm for a while.Just be glad I didn't aim for a more vital place."

Smash felt his arm go numb, and fall limp. "I'm surprised it worked when I didn't even touch your hand." He said. "But fighting with one arm shouldn't be a problem." He then took a step back, getting into a defensive position as he quickly scanned the area to see where Kotuumath and Ichiro were. It would be a fatal mistake to leave them out of his sight for too long.

"Don't take your eyes off me." Thetis suddenly appeared in front of Smash, and attempted to jab him in the stomach.

Smash rolled out of the way, knowing that he'd try to catch him off guard. He then faced Thetis as he stood back up. "I'm sure the other two would say the same thing. Can't keep my eyes on all of ya at the same time." He then proceeded to throw a spin kick in Thetis' direction.

"Forgot about this?" With a swing of hist hand, he telekinetically threw Smash to the ground.

Kotuumath looked at Ichiro.

"How about you and me let Smash and Thetis duke it out while we do the same?"

Smash was thrown back, but he coiled his legs back and launched himself back towards Thetis in an attempt to kick him back. He also has his hand over his head, ready to bash him soon afterwards.

With his hands glowing the same green colour, Thetis caught his leg. "That the best you can do?"

When he caught his leg, Smash attempted to use this to his advantage as he performed a backflip, attempting to throw him over his head with his leg.

But Thetis, thinking fast, blasted him away soon after disabling his leg.

Smash was sent flipping in midair. He soon landed in a kneeling position a few feet away. He began to stand, only to find that his leg failed to work. ''Uh oh. Not good...'' He thought. ''I still have so much energy left to burn. But how am I supposed to use it if I can't even stand up straight!?'' He stayed in his position, looking back up at Thetis. I''t'd be foolish to charge right back at him, or even stand up. I have to think of something..''.

"Don't you have any powers? If you don't, then fighting me is suicide."

A vein mark appeared on Smash's head. "Powers?" He asked. "Pfft. I don't have any powers...then again, maybe I do have one." He said. Slowly, he began to force himself to his feet. He was obviously in pain, but he managed to stand up on both feet, despite not feeling anything in his left leg. "I never give up. I don't go down so easily. That's my main power."

Suddenly, a blue crystal ball appeared on the field, between Thetis and Smash.

"Didn't Laniatus say that crystal balls have helpful items in them?" Thetis said, more to himself that to Smash.

Smash's eyes lit up. That was it, just what he needed at a time like this. With his completely disabled leg, he didn't know how he was going to get there. But it didn't matter, He HAD to get there. Without a second thought, He threw himself at the crystal ball, sending himself rolling towards it. He extended his working hand, trying to grab it.

Kotuumath watched Smash throw himself at the crystal ball. He had no inclination to go after it himself; Smash needed it much more than he did.

"Oh no you don't!" Thetis shouted as he tried to bring the ball to himself, only to realize his telekinesis didn't work on it. "Dammit!"

"Ha!" Smash grabbed the Crystal ball and held it over his face to see what would come of it. He was still lying on his back.

Ichiro found himself simply watching Smash and Thetis brawl. He then looked to Kotuumath and answered his previous question. "I suppose we could let them have their moment," he responded. The halfbreed nodded in response.

When Smash broke the crystal ball, he was showered in a sparkling pink mist. He instantly began to feel energized, and regained movement in his arm and leg.

With this new energy flowing in him, Smash leaped back to his feet. Ohhh yeah...! He thought. He faced Thetis again, regaining his regular battle stance. "Now lets do this."

Dammit, Thetis thought. ''He's fully healed and he knows my powers. I don't want to show everything I can do i nthe 1st rounds, but if this goes on too long I may have to''. "Okay then, so you got lucky. But luck isn't enough to beat me!" With those words, he put his palms together and fired a barage of green energy bolts.

Now that I'm fully healed, I have to be more careful. He thought. Anything that has to do with his palm, avoid like the plague. As the green bolts came towards him, He acted quickly, sidestepping and dodging each one of them. With his energy boost, he felt almost hyper, seeing how he barely used up any energy before hand. One bolt grazed his cheek, but that was all the damage he took.

"Damn, you're pretty light on your feet," Thetis said, but he raised his hand and telekinetically blasted Smash a few feet backward.

He was ready to dodge, but this threw him off-literally. He flew a few feet backwards, and ended up doing a backflip on the ground, soon returning to his feet. He brushed himself off, and walked back towards him. As he walked towards him, he began to think of a plan. Once he got relatively close to him, he jumped up like he was going to attack him, his fist cocked back as he put all his strength behind his move, but ended up pounding the ground with great force. The ground around them shook and cracked a bit.

Thetis wasn't expecting that. He momentarily lost his balance and fell over. "What is that echidan up to?" He thought.

This was his chance. With his fist already on the ground, he applied his other hand next to it, "URRGHII!!" and tore out a huge chunk of the earth. Without wasting another second, he hurled it on top of Thetis.

When he regained his senses, the first thing Thetis saw was a massive rock flying at him. He acted quickly, and managed to stop it with his telekinesis. "That the best you can do?" he asked, before hurling the boulder at Smash.

The boulder never hit Smash. Smash wasn't even in the same spot anymore. Instead, he had leaped high into the air, unseen due to the boulder's size, and was just inches away from clobbering Thetis in the face with a powerful punch. His entire body was glowing, and after images of himself could be seen. He threw his fist towards his head, which would emit a bright flash and cause massive damage if it struck.

By the time Thetis realized that Smash wasn't there anymore, he sensed his fist inches away from his head. he reacted quickly and tried to immobilize him, but all he managed to do was soften the blow, but it still sent him flying a couple of feet backwards and cause him great pain. "AAhhh!!" Thetis was clutching his cheek, which was swollen and bleeding. "Not...bad.."

Smash stood up straight, looking directly at him with a serious expression. "Thats...What I call a "Spirit Blast"." He said, before cracking his neck. "I may not have any super natural powers, but who the heck cares? I can kick your butt without em."

"Don't you dare underestimate me!" The earth shook slightly, and Thetis levitated 3 boulders out of the ground. "Let's see how much you're physical abilities work!" He then hurled the boulders at Smash.

"Well this is familiar." Smash said to himself. He braced himself and waited for the boulders to get close, before he leaped at them. He landed on top of the first one, and leaped to the next. With the last one still coming at him, he gathered up all of his strength as he jumped towards it, and threw a mighty punch at it. The boulder cracked and repelled right back towards Thetis, as Smash landed on the ground and proceeded to charge towards him. The best way to defeat someone like this is to overwhelm them. He thought.

Y'know I can read your mind if your close enough, right? The boulder flew over Thetis, who'se hand started glowing again. "Come and get me!" He said.

He saw his glowing hand, and immediately knew it was a trap. But he still kept going. He quickly slid on the ground a few inches before giving him a sweep kick while holding the grass for support, quickly spinning back to his feet afterwards.

Thetis did a backflip and dodged Smash's kick. Once he landed, he rushed towards Smash, ready to strike him with his glowing hand.

Smash stood his ground, waiting for the opportune moment.

Thetis swiped at his neck with his hand.

Smash bent backwards, limbo style, and lifted hist foot to kick him in the stomach. He held his hands back to perform a backflip away from him.

Thetis bent backwards and narrowly avoided Smash's kick. Rrg! I'm a bit out of practice. No matter. He put his hands together, and they started glowing once more. "Let's see you dodge this! PSI Rush!" Immidiately, a barrage of energy shots were rapidly fired at Smash.

Dodging them all wouldn't work with the amount and speed the shots were this time. Smash had begun to dodge a few of them, but then stood his ground. He brought his arm up, and began to knock each blast away from him, deflecting them in random directions. Each blow hurt his arm, but it kept the attacks from hitting anywhere vital. It wasn't long before a burn mark was visible on his arm.

One of the deflected shots flew over Kotuumath's head, and he jumped slightly.

Thetis noticed the burn and a smile trickled on to his face. "Hurt all ready? That was just the warm up. Now it's time for the finale!" With his hand still extended in front of him, he began channeling energy to his arms, and his hands began to glow more and more...

Smash looked at the burn mark on his arm. "Huh. I guess that hurt worse than it felt." He said. He then looked back in front of him, and returned to the defensive. "This doesn't look good..."

This might leave me a bit fatigued, but i need to end this soon. "Psycho Cannon!!" He shouted, and a massive green energy beam shot out of his hands, straight towards Smash.

Smash's eyes shrunk as he saw the blast coming towards him. "Ohh, no..." There was no way he could dodge something that big. He held his hands out in front of him, and attempted to block the blast. The blast stopped against his hands, but shoved him back at least 5 feet. He struggled and strained it hold it back, but it was far too big for him to handle. Soon, the blast overcame him. In a matter of moments, the blast ended and Smash was lying down on his face, even further away. He was badly burnt, and barely conscious.

That last attack left Thetis out of breath. "Looks like that did it...I thought he would have dodged....Oh well...." Thetis breathed a sigh of relief, then looked towards Smash's body. ''Wait. If I won, shouldn't he like, disappear or something? Unless he's still alive?'' He carefully walked towards Smash to see if he was conscious.

Smash's hand twitched. He was still conscious. "...nn..nngh.." He grunted lightly. ''..I'm..alive? Did I actually survive that?'' He wondered. He tried to force himself up, but struggled greatly. He could barely get into a kneeling position. "..I'm...not finished..yet..." He struggled to say. He clenched his fists, still not able to get up from the ground.

"Huh? You survived that?" Thetis was surprised to see his opponent still moving. "Most people are vaprized by that attack. I gotta give you credit." He tried using his Psycho Scapel again, but his hand flickered and then stopped glowing altogether. "Dammit, I'm almost out of energy."

Smash's body began to glow slightly. "..I..didn't think I'd..have to resort..to this." He managed to move into a kneeling position, finally. "It's time..that I showed you...just what I'm made of!" The glow around his body grew brighter, and soon, a blast of energy emitted from him. A sky blue aura surrounded him as his fur changed from deep blue to lime greenish cyan.

"Oh crap." Thetis could tell that unless he thought of something, he was doomed. I didn't want to have to use that, but it looks like I have no choice. "Since everyone's transforming already....I guess I might as well do the same!" Then, with the last of his energy, he created an orb-like shell of energy around him.

Smash stood up straight, although still showing signs of weakness. He saw the barrier form around him, and examined it. While I catch my breath and recouperate my energy, I'm gonna see just what that thing can do..if he's gonna do something with it. He thought. He kept a close eye on Thetis, his gaze was sharp and fierce, but he didn't seem to be in a defensive stance.

The orb cracked, and two emerald green blades shot out of it and hovered at its sides. Then the orb completely exploded, revealing Thetis, exhibiting an aqua-green aura and his fur with a slight green tint. "Let's get started," He said as the two swords flew in Smash's direction at high speeds.

Smash ran towards him, seemingly ignoring the swords heading for him. He then suddenly slid across the ground, going right under the swords. He quickly regained his footing and proceeded to rush towards Thetis. He ran with his fist cocked back, as it he were going to clobber him in the face.

Thetis stuck out his hand, and Smash was blown back a couple of feet and right into the two swords from before, which were now returning to their owner.

Smash forced himself through the force that pushed him back. It slowed him down, but he was still coming. He pushed himself harder, knowing that the swords were coming back towards him. He then threw a hard punch towards Thetis' face.

Thetis immediately brought both of the swords in front of him to block the punch. He was still puched back a few feet by the sheer force of the attack. "Is that all!?" He yelled. The then extended both arms toward Smash, and both of the swords exploded into a shower of smaller blades. "Try this!" The tiny blades then flew towards Smash.

''Hmph. That didn't go quite as I expected.'' He thought. Time for a different approach. He leaped backwards as the swords were coming at him. He fled, soon taking cover behind one of the boulders from earlier. Each sword stabbed into it. The boulder then lifted up by Smash's hands, soon to be hurled at Thetis. Smash then punched the other two boulders at him, and charged back towards him much faster than before.

Thetis deflected the boulders away from him, one flew at Kotuumath and another flew towards Ichiro. However, once the boulders left his sight all he saw was Smash rushing towards him. "Oh no!" ''Calm down, I have about 3 seconds before I can use my telekinesis again. I'll just blast him away.''

Kotuumath looked at the oncoming boulder, then readied his sword. It began to glow ice blue, and, once the boulder was close enough, he quickly stabbed at it, turning the boulder itself into ice and shattering it.

Smash's aura tensed up. He was building up more power. His aura flashed green for a second as he was coming at him. The instant it flashed green, he could feel power much more intense than what he was currently using, soon disappearing just as sudden as the flash. He picked up speed, going for a head on frontal attack with his fist cocked back. He lunged at Thetis, putting all his might into his attack, as he threw his most powerful punch which would most likely be fatal if it struck dead on.

3....2....1...."HYAAAHHH!!" Using all his might, Thetis just barely managed to soften Smash's blow using his powers, but still took some damage. He clutched his head in pain, some blood trickling down his face. "This isn't over! Psycho Rush!" He shot a barrage of energy shots again, but this time they were much faster.

Smash flipped back into his regular stance, and let the shots come at him. He deflected them again, this time showing less effort and pain, and more determination in his eyes.

"Rrg!" Thetis was getting annoyed. "That's it, this has gone on for far too long!" He sent his swords flying at Smash, but instead of stabbing him, they went around him. Once behind Smash, the blades connected at the hilts, and started spinning, visibly charging energy as they did so. Thetis, on the other side of Smash, extended his arms and started charging energy as well.

"Hm..I might just have to go all out..." He said to himself. ''I need to finish him off. And quick.'' He thought. ''What should I do? There's gotta be someway I can get the jump on him..I have a feeling I know what he's gonna do, but how to avoid it and take the initiative at the same time...? Only by charging up your own move of course..I don't really wanna scare off the other fighters by showing some of my best skills on the first round, but unless I do something, I'm gonna lose...''Smash stood up straight, clenching his fists tightly. "...URRGHII!!" He suddenly cried out as he let out a blast of energy. His aura grew stronger and flowed more intensely than before. He began to charge his energy, slightly coiling up his legs.

"I don't know what you're doing, but I'm not going to give you a chance to do it!" He was finally finished charging his attack. "Disappear!" A huge, continuous blast of energy erupted from Thetis's hands and the two swords behind Smash, while the echidna was trapped in the middle and the two beams closing in on him fast.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, another crystal ball appeared.

Just as I thought. He saw the blasts coming at him from all sides. But he was ready for them. With a mighty leap, he sprung high into the air. All the blasts collided with each other below him. Smash, however, stayed above. He stayed in place in mid-air, as he held his hands up above his head. After channeling one last blast of energy, the dark sky began to turn red. Soon, a massive, burning meteorite floated down from the sky, and landed gently in Smash's hands. It was then when Smash noticed the Crystal ball. And he was sure that Thetis noticed it too..

Kotuumath looked at the humongous meteorite in Smash's hands. That's quite amazing, he thought to himself. Closest I can get to using meteorites is though the Cosmic Blaze attack, and THOSE are tiny by comparison...

Thetis had thought that Smash would do something like that. If he thought he was safe now, he was about to be surprised. "You think that's all?" With a wave of his hand, the two beams formed into one, massive energy ball, about the size of the meteorite smash was holding. I'll get the crystal ball later, he thought. "Now," He waved his hand upwards, and sent the meteor sized orb flying at Smash "Die."

4th Match
4rd match: Dr. Eggman vs Chimera vs Ookamoni vs Duan

"Would the participants in the 4th match please report here? Please let me know if you've arrived." The goddess spoke in a very gentle yet authoritative tone.

Ookamoni walked over, very leisurely. As he went forward, he glanced at his opponents. Fist he saw Eggman. He's the only one Ookamoni'd even heard of, yet he was sure this fool and his "confounded machines" wouldn't beat him. The other two, he could only guess.

He then paused and stared the godess in the eyes, ready to vent himself...

Duan: Heh... I'm ready as ever! (Duan revealed his guitar)

Chimera appeared on the scene, arms folded, ready to show everyone what he can do. "Ready."

Dr. Eggman wasn't a very formidable fighter, but he seemed to have something up his sleeve, for he was acting pretty confidently. "Let's get this started!"

"Good." Laniatus examined all of them, then summoned a creen to show them where they will be fighting. "Your match will take place in Greenhill Zone. I assume you all know the area. Also, in this match, there are several hazards in this field which you will need to watch out for, such as spikes and bombs. On the bright side, item boxes will appear from time to time to help you in the match, but their effects are temporary. With that said, are you all ready?"

"I'm itching to get started," Chimera said arrogantly.

"Hohohohoho! Ready as I'll ever be!" Eggman was waiting to go.

Duan: If I'm not ready, then my name's not Duan!

"Okay then, let's go!" And with a wave of her hand, Laniatus transported all of the fighters to Greenhill Zone

At Greenhill zone....

"You may begin fighting." With those words, the goddess was gone.

"Let's see what you guys can do," said Chimera, extending his hands, daring someone to attack him.

Flames flew around Ookamoni, burning a massive circle in the ground as he said," Let's get this over with."

Moving quickly, Chimera shot a beam of pure chaos energy at Ookamoni.

He fired a massive ball of fire to parry, creating a cloud of grey smoke. The wind picked up as he kept firing, keeping the Chaos at bay.

A swiching sound fills the air, and Ookamoni sees a sword flying towards his back.

He held one hand out at the sword, the other to the beam. While his flames combating the beam weakened, he could still keep it away from him. But he wasn't quick enough, and the sword stabbed through his left hand.

"GAAAH!" he creamed as blood dripped onto the grass.

"Is that all? And here I thought you were the 2nd strongest here," Chimera gloated.

Ookamoni glared at him, and with a grin increased the power of the fire 100%. As he did, he turned his hand, put the cold, metal blade in his mouth, and took the weapon out of his palm.

"Arrogance doesn't suit you,' he stated, taking the sword with his bad hand, ignoring the paint, and throwing it as Chimera.

"Thank you for returning this to me," Chimera said as the sword flipped in the air, the handle landing perfectly in his palm. "Show me what you've got." Chimera suddenly appeared in front of Ookamoni and slashed him with his sword.

Ookamoni dismissed the flames, drawing his claws in a Wolverine-like fasion. He caught the attack between two of the blades and prepared to kick Chimera from the side.

Chimera thought he would do something like that, so he flicked the blade of the sword, dislodging it from Ookamoni's claws and guarding against his kick. He then placed his hand on Ookamoni's forehead. "Let's see what's on your mind."

He gladly let him search his mind. He let every negative thought, every dark memory, every black act, murder, each drop of devastation flow into his enemy.

"Huh?" Chimera took his hand off his head and jumped back. "You've had a pretty hard time haven't you?"

"Indeed...." he said, creating a small, glowing orb of fire in his palm,"...Lorelei...why did you betray me? Even in death, you mock me Mazda...."

The orb grew bigger with each word, turning into darkness. When he saw Chimera, Ookamoni imagined Mazda, laughing at his failure. His eyes widened, and he became less and less sane, finally tossing the dark energy with a maniacal laugh.

Chimera began to feel uneasy as Ookamoni lost is sanity. When someone was insane, they became more unpredictable, and he hated not knowing what was going to happen. He quikly jumped out of the way of the ball, and fired his own orb of chaos at him.

Ookamoni used his claw to catch the orb, throwing it back at Chimera. He started to look like a ragdoll, his arms swinging at his sides and tripping over his own feet. With a twisted grin, he yelled," IS THAT ALL MAZDA!?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SECOND STRONGEST HERE!"

Chimera absorbed the orb into his blade, and was greatly unnerved by his opponents sudden transformation. I've got to end this before it gets out of hand. Another Chimera appeared behind Ookamoni, and attempted to stab him.

He took the stab, laughing as black blood dripped instead. From the shadow grew ten, dark, demon wings. Hellfire mode....

''He's changing form. I don't want to have to go into Reaper Mode, but if this continues any longer I may have to resort to that. Maybe i can make him sane again''... Chimera continued fo form plans in his head, then finally decided on one. The clone that stabbed Ookamoni disappeared, and Chimera teleported to a few feet in front of the mad wolf. "Let's see what you can do!" He shouted as five Chimeras surrounded Ookamoni.

"Heh heh heeeeeeeeeeh" A ring of fire, a gigantic wall surrounded them. The flames seared everything, the intense heat turning the grass black, and the sky red.

Chimera himself then suddenly appeared above Ookamoni. "Chaos Trance!" He shouted ans he put his hand on his forehead once again. Ookamoni then found himself in a world of complete blackness. He could see himself, but nothing more.

"......." nothing, absolutely nothing, came from Ookamoni's mouth His wings retracted, as did his claws, as he waited for his opponents next move.

He heard footsteps, and was expecting Chimera to come and attack him. Instead, the last person he expected to be here was standing before him. "Hello, brother," said Lorelei

He stood, unmoving, unaltered, unfeeling as he looked in her eyes, not uttering a single word.

"Look at yourself. Look at what you've become. I don't know if I can even consider you my brother anymore," she said.

He looked at her, at first silent, but then he smiled and scoffed. Now calm, he crossed his arms and said," You expect me to believe this cheap replica's my sister? Rediculous. I spent every night for two thousand years thinking of her, keeping her memory alive. So don't insult me with an amateur knock-off!"

Meanwhile, in the real world, Chimera stood a few feet away from Ookamoni, enjoying messing with his mind. "This one has a lot of issues. I can use them to my advantage."

Duan: Lightning! (Duan strummed his guitar and stuck everyone with lightning)

"Gr. Forgot about the other ones" Chimera teleported a few feet away from Ookamoni to dodge the lightning, which in turn temporarily freed him from Chimera's Chaos Trance. "Damn! I'm out of range!" Chimera turned towards Duan, angry."You'll pay for that."

Eggman, however was nowhere to be seen.

Chimera suddenly appeared behind Duan. "Sweet dreams," he said as he stabbed him with his sword.

(The real Duan is behind a wall) Duan: My famous hat trick. Just watch.

Fake Duan: No! It can't be! (Fell over)

Chimera scoffed. "You think you're so smart, don't you?" Four purple, glowing points arranged in a square appeared at Duan's feet. "Chaos Prison!" He clenched his fists, and four walls of purple-black energy rose from the ground and trapped Duan inside a box.

Ookamoni escaped his trace. With Chimera distracted, he leaped in the air, floating there to watch their fight.

Duan: It's not like I haven't escaped from something like this before. (Grabbed his guitar, shot an energy blast downward, and fired himself upward to escape the prison) You think you're so smart, don't you? (Fired 15 beams of equal strength)

"I should say the same thing to you," Chimera said, as Duan flew right into a clone, waiting to stab him in the air. "As for these beams." Chimera teleported out of the way of the beams.

5th Match

Nemesis: Contenders for the 6th match come forth!

Shadow Clone:Here.

RMG-24: HERE.

Metal Sonic: Here

Silver: Here.

Nemesis: Good. Now for this match, you will be fighting on Angel Island. Mystic Ruins to be exact. No special rules here, just plain fighting. Now, If you are all ready, let's go! (teleports everyone to Mystic Ruins) BEGIN!!!

6th Match
6th match: Dragoeith vs Lisa vs Pearl vs Skate

The hooded figure known as Nemesis stood in front of the match listings. "Would all of the participants in the 6th match please come forth!"

Part 1C
(This is what is happening between matches. If your character is not in a fight, insert them here. Defeated characters also come here.)

Sonic: I sure hope Knux is gonna be okay.

Silver: I'd worry more about your own match than him. Looks like your up agains some really tough guys.

Sonic: Yeah right. Like I'm gonna lose.

Nemesis: Are you all prepared for your fights?

Sonic: I'm ready to go!

Silver: I guess.

Nemesis: Well you have some time to wait. Why don't you socialize with the other fighters? See if you can find some weaknesses.

Sonic: What? That wouldn't be fair!

Silver: But it would help is in the future.

A bright light emitted from one spot. In a flash, the light was gone, and in it's place were two echidna's, nearly holding each other's hands now that the letter they were reading was gone.

"Huh? What?" Smash looked around, baffled. "Where the heck are we!?"

"I-I don't know..We were on the front porch a second ago." Pearl stammered, still holding her broom. "And now we're in..wow...Are we in heaven or something?"

"Don't be silly, We're still alive." Smash said. "But...I can see where you're coming from on that." The two began to look around, and immediately noticed some people not far away from them. But only one they recognized. "..Sonic?" Smash asked. "What in the world is he doing here?"

Sonic: Smash! Pearl! How've ya been!

Silver: Who and who?

"We've been alright, I guess." Smash said. He gave Silver a weird look. "And who's this guy?"

Just then, another bright flash of light appeared about 3 feet off the ground, and a figure fell out of it, face-planting onto the ground below.

"OW!! Dammit...!!"

Silver: Great, there's more?

(Sonic explains the tournament to Smash and Pearl and shows them the rules [refer to above])

Ichiro made himself visible. He looked around and observed the others. "This is the tournament?" he began, "Good. Greetings to you all."

Sonic: Who're you?

Ichiro glared oddly at Sonic. "I am Ichiro Keiken of the Orochi clan," he said while bowing, "It is an honour to meet you Sonic, hero of Mobius."

The halfbreed got up, shaking his head, then looked around at the people.

"At least I'm not the only one who this happened to," he muttered to himself.

"Huh. I see..." Smash nodded. "So these are the tournament grounds..." He shrugged. "Seems kinda forceful to me, but I might as well enter."

"Seeing how I'm here, I think I'll give it a try, too." Pearl said.

"Really? This'll be your first tournament." Smash said, with both eyebrows raised. "And from the looks of this place, I can't say it'll be easy on you. Are you sure you're up to it?"

Pearl nodded. "Yeah. I think I can do it." She reassured with a smile.

"You sure about that?" Sonic asked,"These guys are really tough. Look up there." Sonic points to a screen above them, showing Khan's,Knuckles',Tunami's and flare's fight.

"If she wants to fight, let her fight," Silver butted in.

Pearl looked at the screen with interest, while Smash looked over at Sonic and Silver. "Pearl's tougher than she looks. You'd be surprised what she can do." He said. "She's just rarely had a chance to show her capabilities. Starting off in a tournament such as this would be a lot of pressure at once, which is why I was a bit concerned. But if she's confident that she can handle it, I trust her."

"Knuckles is here, too?" She asked, more to herself than anyone else.

"Yeah, pretty much anyone with status is here," Sonic replied,"and now I really wana see you fight Pearl!" Sonic gave her a cheerful thumbs up and a wink.

Pearl looked over at Sonic and giggled. "Thanks!"

"Ah, Looks like you're here too," said a cold voice, full of malice and mystery.

"Gasp! Y-you? You're here!?," said Sonic, thoroughly disturbed. "Chimera?"

"Hmhmhm. Of course I'm here. This game wouldn't be interesting without me. You're lucky unofficial fights are prohibited, otherwise you'd all be dead," said the evil Chimera.

Smash's eyelids lowered halfway as he turned around to face Chimera. "Oy. Don't start with the boasting, would ya?"

The halfbreed glared coldly at Chimera.

"Who's THIS arse?" he asked.

"Ha. I can't wait till I get to fight you, that is, if you get past round one. See you later you souped up lizard." That was the last thing the villain said before teleporting out of sight.

"Man, what a jerk." Pearl muttered. She looked over towards the dragon halfbreed. "If you ever do fight him, teach him an old fashioned lesson, would ya?"

"I'll be glad to," he said. "My name is Kotuumath, by the way. What's yours?"

"Pearl, I'm assuming?" A brown wolf wearing an orange jacket and jeans came on the scene.

Pearl had her mouth opened to introduce herself, only to have someone else do it for her. She looked towards the wolf in surprise. "H-how did you know?" She asked. Smash looked over at the wolf, suspiciously.

"Thetis, is it?" Ichiro asked. He paced for a moment, eying the wolf. He was about to continue, but stopped himself.

"I'm a telepath. Just testing out my powers," the wolf responded. "But how do you know my name?"

"You too? God is all of Evanidus here too?" Sonic asked.

"Where I come from, I was known as the All-Seer," Ichiro explained, "I can learn all that I need with a glance."

"Oh really? Then you should know you don't stand a chance against me," Thetis replied arrogantly.

"Still your tongue, telepath," Ichiro snapped, "Boasting only makes it hurt more."

A sweat drop rolled down the side of her face. "Eheh..well, yeah. That's my name." Pearl answered the previous question awkwardly. "And this is my brother, Smash."

Smash nodded at his name. "Nice to meet ya."

"Normally, I'd be the bad guy, but since this is a tournament and everyone's neutral, Hey Smash, nice to meet you," the wolf replied, disturbing Sonic slightly.

"Wait, you're not working for Chimera?" Sonic asked, quite puzzled.

Thetis gave him a smirk. "Nope. I follow my own rules here."

Smash gave Thetis another suspicious look. His words kept him from trusting him, but they were safe as long as they were here.

The heavenly goddess Laniatus appears, gracing them with her presence. "Smash, Thetis, Ichiro and Koutuumath, please report to the main area."

"Oh. Looks like I'm up." Smash said.

"Good luck, Smash! Give em all you got!" Pearl said.

"Thanks. I'll be back." He then left to attend to his match.

A 3rd screen appeared next to the two already showing the current fights, presumable to show Smash's match.

Sonic stood next to Pearl, and reassuringly put his hand on her shoulder. "He'll be fine. Just you see."

Silver listened, leaning against a beam, thinking to himself. "I hope so. Some of those characters had such power. Anything could happen in this match."

Pearl smiled. "I know he can do it." She said. "They may have all kinds of weird powers, but Smash can overcome them...He's strong and smart, and that's good enough for him. He always finds a way...That's my brother."

(They all watch Smash's match on the screen)

After seeing Thetis's first attack, Silver said, "Told you they all had crazy powers."

"Shut up Silver."

"I'm sure Smash has seen worse..." Pearl said. "But he'd better be careful."

The mysterious, hooded Nemesis appeared behind Sonic and Pearl, startiling the both of them. "There can only be one winner to each fight. All losers will be instantly sent home, so there's no penalty if you don't win."

Pearl nearly jumped two feet into the air. She turned around to face the figure, wide-eyed. "Oh..W-well, that's good to know..I guess." She said, nervously. She was still jumpy after being frightened.

"You know, for a god of evil and chaos, you're not so bad," Sonic said.

"Hm." And with that, the hooded figure was gone

"You're brother's doing pretty good. I really underestimated him," Silver said apologetically.

Pearl gave him a sly smirk. "You're already apologizing?" She asked. "...You haven't seen nothing yet."

"Guys, can we just watch?" Sonic asked.

"Oh, Sorry!" Pearl said before looking back at the screen with another sweat drop.

"Looks like he's been handicapped," Silver remarked.

"Oh no..So early in the match, too..." Pearl gasped softly.

"Ah, he'll be fine." Sonic gave Pearl a wink of reassurance.

"Hey! Sonic!" A familiar two tailed fox came running to greet his best friend

"Tails! What are you doing here?" Sonic asked.

"I got transported here, although I'm not here to fight. I'm just providing support and helpful info."

"Okay, that's cool. I didn't wanna have to fight you buddy," Sonic said, relieved.

"What, you think I can't handle myself?" Tails jokingly asked him.

Dragoeith:Interesting.

Silver: Who're you?

Dragoeith:I'm Keith The Dagonolf and Drago The Dragon,got a problem Sliver?

Silver: Just asking. So, to you know who you're fighting agains in your match?

Pearl gasped. "Oh no...Is he...?" She held her hand to her mouth, now very worried about her brother.

Even the cheerful Sonic looked uneasy. Then he sees Smash transform. "Whoa, what's that?"

Espio then suddenly appeared in a bright flash of light. "I...lost?"

Laniatus then arrived to answer his question. "You were defeated, but you can stay and spectate until the tournament is over."

Pearl let out a sigh of relief. "I didn't think he had the strength to pull that off.." She said to herself. "Over the years, Smash learned how to utilize his own energy, and bring it out like this." She explained to Sonic. "It's sort of a Super Transformation, but it's much weaker than a real one. He can't hold it up for long.."

"The other one's done pretty much the same thing," Espio added, "although I doubt he can sustain it for long, after hes used up so much energy before."

"Yeah." Pearl nodded. She soon noticed the flash of green in Smash's form. "..What was that..? Did the monitor mess up the quality for a second there?"

"What do you mean?" Silver asked.

"These aren't any ordinary monitors. Like everything here, they are supernatural. They can't freeze up," Laniatus said.

"...Weird..I thought I had just seen Smash flash green for a second there.." She said, somewhat quietly. "Maybe it was my imagination..?" She then watched the battle further. "..Wow, I haven't seen him use that move in a long time.."
