The Tournament

Terra: So it's a tournament?

Amala: Awesome. We'll probably destroy anyone. We just practically beat the black coats.

Leon: I wouldn't go that far. You got your hand chopped off and Amelia almost died.

Millie: I bet they'll be there too.

Terra: I think I'm ready. I even have the spear back.

Amelia: Are you really ready? This is our chance to get Donny back.

Amala: Kid, Donny is dead. Listen to me Amelia. I don't know if you want to bring him back that way. Resurrection sucks. Most humans live their lives blind to what's on the other side. Trust me. Ivan makes it sound too good to be true. And it is. There's always a consequence to messing with the laws like that. Move on.

Amelia: So if your mother was trapped in some sort of dark eternity wouldn't you try and save her?! I'm not wrong here. I can't go on like this. I have so much to atone for. I was a terrible sister.

Amelia went and sat down at the back of the RV. Terra decided to come back there and sit next to her.

Amelia: What do you want?

Terra: I want you to feel like you again.

Amelia: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Terra: I just want to talk about Donny. We're so close.

Amelia: Yeah…

Terra: I just want to know, what if we can't get him back? What will you do?

Amelia: Something terrible.

Terra: Exactly. I just want you to prepare yourself. I know the last few months have been hard. But we have to get over him someday. He'd want that. He'd want you to be strong and continue moving.

Amelia: You don't know what Donny wants.

After a couple hours the RV was parked in a large parking lot. Axel and Erica were in the announcing booth.

Axel: Hello and welcome to the final set of our yearly tournament sets! Our finalists are the best of the best, the coolest of the cool and the baddest of the bad! You should feel lucky to be sitting here today! Let me take a minute to thank our sponsor (and soon to be overlord), Meta Facilities Inc. Keeping metas and mutants alike regulated since 2013. But let's get this show on the road. The bracket will be revealed in 3, 2 , 1

The audience counted down with Axel.

Axel: And our first match is...Thingamajig vs Amala Acosta! While Thingamajig worked hard to make it here, Amala was randomly selected from a hat as a special competitor. Mostly because some of our other contenders cheaped out. So you may see some new faces today. But the basic rules involve winning. You win by knocking your opponent off the stage or killing them. The way you do it doesn't matter at all. As long as someone wins and another loses. If we come down to a tie both are disqualified.

Amala walked out onto the stage and thingamajig stood across from her. He had a mask on that looked like it changed its face every 10 seconds. He also wore armor along with a red robe.

Thingamajig: Why are you looking at me like that? you bitch!

Amala drew her sword. As soon as the bell went off she ran at him and threw a kick at him and swung her sword.

Thingamajig: I am so sorry for this...I might cry.

Thingamajig made the stadium explode under them. They went flying up into the air. His armor made him stay on the stage. But Amala went flying into the air. Thingamajig made himself sneeze and shot Amala off the stage. Just before she fell she grabbed the stadium and jumped back up.

Thingamajig: Please! I beg your mercy!

Amala: What the hell is wrong with you?

Thingamajig: I have infinite things wrong with me!

Thingamajig made a bunch of silverware fall from the sky. He caught a spoon out of the air and threw it at Amala. She slashed most of what Thingamajig made fall. Thingamajig made a gigantic spoon appear and he hit Amala on the ground. He beat the crap out of Amala with the spoon.

Thingamajig: Fore!

Thingamajig hit Amala off the stage.

Thingamajig: I won? Haha, I'm amazing!

Everyone who was fighting was in some sort of waiting room.

Leon: Haha you lost!

Amala: He had some sort of cheat! Everything he did was completely random! How was I going to compete with that?

Axel: And the next one! Repulse vs Maverick! Repulse has finally come out from the shadows to fight someone who just mysteriously appeared. Maverick!

Millie walked out onto the stage. Maverick walked out. She was a super short girl. She had an open zipped sweatshirt with a red shirt under. Along with some extra long shorts. She had some short hair tied into a ponytail

Millie: I seriously have to fight a little girl?

Maverick: Hi! Nice to meet you!

Maverick came up with a huge smile. She put her hand out for a handshake. Millie hesitantly shook her hand.

Maverick: Wow, you're Repulse? I like your new arm. We should do some hero stuff together.

The bell rang.

Maverick: But we can't be friends today.

Millie: I feel bad attacking a child. This is messed u-

Maverick attacked Millie with a flying kick. She did a flip and punched Millie in the head. Sending her down. She landed but before she could do anything else Millie blasted Maverick back. Both of her feet were lit up orange. So were her hands.

Maverick: Just because I'm a kid doesn't mean I'm harmless! Don't hold back!

Millie felt a little excited about the fight now.

Millie: Okay. But just because you asked.

Maverick smashed the ground and some sort of blast traveled through. Millie punched the ground and canceled it out. She clapped her hands together and made a huge shockwave come out. Maverick sidestepped it and ran up to Millie. She jumped unbelievably high into the air and came down with a hook kick. Millie held out her prosthetic hand and blocked it. She grabbed Maverick's leg with her hand and threw Maverick into the ground. Before she landed she put her hands out on the ground and flipped to her feet. Millie threw out a jab and stumbled Maverick. Millie threw out a bunch of punches. Each and every one Maverick blocked. She slid right through Millie's legs and did a cartwheel, Millie lost her stance and fell forward. Maverick kicked her in the back and then threw out a jumping sidekick. She kicked off Millie's back. Millie was sent on her face. She went to stand up but was met with Maverick's foot to her back. A big blast came out of Millie's back and blew Maverick off. Millie heard a little bit of exhaustion on Maverick's end.

Millie: Tired?

Maverick: Not if you keep talking.

Maverick did another jumping kick. Millie held out her prosthetic and caught it and threw her back. Maverick just did a flip in the air and shot a blast backwards. Propelling herself towards Millie. She kicked Millie right in the face. Where a blast came out. Maverick jumped around Millie and kicked her right in the back. A blast came out of Millie's back. Where Maverick did a stylish bow, dodging the blast. Millie stumbled up to her feet.

Millie: Come on. I'm not done.

Maverick: That's the spirit!

Maverick ran up and kicked Millie in the stomach and then kicked her up in the air. She jumped up and punched Millie all around in the air. Millie threw out a punch which she dodged under and punched Millie to the ground. Millie got up. Maverick jumped up and went for another flying kick. Millie timed it just right. She let the blast out that had been building up form all the times Maverick had just hit her. Maverick went flying off the stage. Millie walked off stage. She lended a hand to Maverick and pulled her up.

Maverick: Wow! That was so cool how you saved the blast until the last minute.

Maverick was limping next to Millie.

Millie: Heh, thanks. Did I really hurt you?

Maverick: That's a question I should ask you.

Millie: Come on. Let's go get patched up.

Maverick: I like that!

Millie: What is your real name?

Maverick: Oh, it's Shakira.

Back in the waiting room, Terra, Amala, Leon, and Amelia all stayed close. There were random people. And there were people they suprisingly already knew.

Axel: And next up is Amelia Ashi vs Saber!

Amelia: Looks like it's my turn. I'll make this quick.

Amelia left the room. Fleet and Tess were sitting together across the room. Tess was trying to comfort him.

Fleet: I hope she wins. So I can rip her apart.

Tess seemed unsettled by Fleet's mood. She'd never seen him angry.

Fleet: Promise me. Don't hold me back this time. People like her poison the planet.

Amala looked over at Fleet from across the room.

Amala: He doesn't look good.

Axel: And next round...Jin Girkew vs Alter!

Amelia: Jin's here? Dammit!

Leon: And you'll like this, if he wins you have to fight him.

A man with shining armor and a shield came out. Jin ran out.

Jin: I'M GOING TO WIN AND REVIVE THE SPAGHETTI I DROPPED EARLIER!

Alter laughed at Jin.

Alter: Let's do a 1 2 switcheroo.

Jin: DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU LOWLY PEASANT!

Jin went to run at Alter but he just ran like a regular human. After a couple seconds he was sweating.

Alter: You like my power? I switch powers with you. And my powers are none! Prepare to die!

Alter ran at Jin. He blew right past Jin and ran off the stage. The speed was too much for him.

Jin: LOOKS LIKE I'M TOO FAST!

Jin walked in. He looked to his side and saw Amelia.

Amelia: Looks like we're up next.

Jin: Why do you seem confident? YOU LOSE EVERYTIME WE FIGHT!

The next few matches rolled through Fleet vs a hero called Vitality, Fleet rolled into the next round. Terra vs Slayer, and she also ran into the next round.

Axel: And next up, we have Tess or Tranquil vs Hiroshi!

Terra: Hiroshi? She's on the other side?

Millie: Sounds like it, and she���s going against Tess. This is like deciding who we hate more.

Terra: Both me and Fleet won our rounds. So that means we're going up next round.

Millie: I wish you luck.

Tess walked out into the stage. With Hiroshi standing on the other side. Both of them were dead silent.

Axel: Both of them must be shooting deadly silent stares at each other! Everyone get rowdy! Because this is going to be great. Both Tess and Hiroshi worked their way up!

The bell rang and Hiroshi ran straight at Tess. She threw a high kick, Tess dodged under and took out a knife. She slashed at Hiroshi's stomach and kicked her back. Hiroshi barely moved and shot a fire blast at Tess. She teleported out of the way and reappeared behind Hiroshi. She grabbed Hiroshi by the back of the neck and teleported her into the air. Hiroshi shot fire down at the ground and became airborne. She shot one of her blasts straight at Tess's face. She put out her hand and turned the fire back onto Hiroshi. Blowing her to the ground. Tess powered up the fire with her power and shot the blast at Hiroshi. Through the debris Hiroshi had made a shield out of ice. She broke through and threw a bunch of ice spikes at Tess. She phased her body and let them pass through her.. She grabbed one out of the air and threw it back at Hiroshi. She kicked it into the air. Tess teleported behind her and stabbed her in the shoulder. She punched her in the face but it did close to nothing. Hiroshi grabbed Tess and kicked her into the air. She jumped up and punched Tess further into the air. Tess teleported to the ground and then all around Hiroshi rapidly. Hiroshi blocked a knife strike and turned the knife on Tess and stabbed her in the stomach. Tess teleported again and turned invisible. She pulled the knife out and threw it at Hiroshi. She teleported behind Hiroshi and took out Fleet's shortsword and stabbed Hiroshi through the back.

Axel: Tess is the winner!

Tess became visible again and pulled out Fleet's sword and teleported away. While people came out and dragged Hiroshi out. Lucky for her she was barely alive.

Leon: And I'm next. Against someone called Fourteen. Shouldn't be hard.

Axel: For our last round, we have Leon vs Fourteen.

Leon walked out onto the stage.

Terra: Wait...is that..?

The man was of African American heritage, he wore no shirt, showing off his burly chest. A missing arm was replaced with a robotic one. He wore a belt with an R on it and wore pants with a horizontal red and black pattern one each pant leg. One thing had changed about Beck. He had a huge scar across his chest. And his eyes were a bright red.

Leon: Who the hell is that? Come on, let's go!

Beck: Another child…
