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.

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.

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: 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)

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.

LT:Music ray!

Part 1C
(This is what is happening between matches if your character is not in a fight, insert them 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.
