Story
''It's a seemingly peaceful morning in Echo Creek. The Locked Room Gang is relaxing near Blast's house.'' Suddenly, the gang sees a large group of humans, ponies, sea creatures, inklings, plants and many other species heading towards the park with great excitement. ''The gang follows the crowd to the park. When they arrive, they see a large arena in the middle of the park, and the large crowd is sitting on the seats that surround the large floating platform in the center.'' ''Suddenly, several spotlight point at the center of the floaring platform, and the intrumental version of "Eye of The Tiger" starts playing in the background. Fog appears just as a familiar voice is heard.'' Discord appears where the spotlights are pointing at, with an elegant suit and a hat, and fireworks are seen in the background, while Discord lifts his hands up high for the crowd to cheer. The entire crowd cheers in excitement. The crowd cheers in excitement as Discord opens a chest he has, to show that he has the Elements of Harmony. ''Blast points at a place under the platform, where apparently, a copy of Discord wearing glasses is sitting at a desk, writing down everyone that is joining the tournament. To the gang's worry, they see several villains in line to get in the tournament, such as Opposite Blast's team, Bright Spark and his robots, Captain Blowhole, Akasha, Dr. Zack's allies, Re-Peat Boss and his robot, Boss Choy, Dark Green Shadow and Doughleficent.'' ''The gang goes to sign up where the copy of Discord is. The copy of Discord cleans his glasses and writes down the names of the last few villains, while they leave, excited for the tournament.'' ''The gang steps in to sign up for the tournament. The Discord with glasses smiles when he sees them.'' The gang sees others joining the tournament as well. Green Knife hits a punching bag, but it comes back at him and hits him in the face. ''Meanwhile, the gang sees others training as well. Rainbow Dash is practicing with a punching bag, hitting it quickly and with great strength, until the punching bag is sent flying away with her last hit.'' Suddenly, a flute melody is heard, and Ace appears within the fighters. Ace disappears. ''Meanwhile, the gang sees Captain Snap Jaws and Assorted Cookie practising on punching bags.  Amelia Amethyst runs to Assorted Cookie in an attempt to eat him. However, the gang sees Assorted Cookie do a backflip above Amelia Amethyst, before they see him wallop Amelia Amethyst from behind with his candy cane.'' The crowd cheers. Discord points the spotlights at the two sides of the platform, before telling who will fight in the first match. Discord snaps his fingers, making Red Ruby appear on the left side of the floating platform. Discord snaps his fingers, making Gary Garnet appear on the right side of the floating platform. Another Discord clone dressed like a referee walks into the platform. ''Another Discord clone rings the bell, and the fight officially starts.  Red Ruby throws a couple of dynamite sticks at Gary Garnet, who counters the dynamite sticks by firing lasers at it with his laser cannon.'' ''Red Ruby throws a few dynamite sticks high up in the air, while Gary Garnet fires lasers upwards at the dynamite sticks. Meanwhile, Red Ruby summons firecrackers, allowing him to fly towards Gary Garnet, knocking him onto the ground and almost off the platform. Meanwhile, above the seats, Florette and General Beet can be seen as commentators for the tournament.'' Back to the fight... ''Red Ruby flies on his firecrackers toward Gary Garnet, in an attempt to ram him off the platform again. Just then, Gary Garnet places a microchip on his forehead, activating his ultimate robot suit, the Garnetronic 5000.'' Red Ruby and Gary Garnet fly into the air, while fighting each other mid-air, attempting to ram each other. ''The crowd cheers as the two gemstones continue fighting. Red Ruby rams into Gary Garnet a couple of times, but Gary Garnet retaliates by swinging his arms at Red Ruby, making him fall onto the ground. Red Ruby simply flies towards Gary Garnet again, but this time, Gary Garnet has another trick up his sleeve. He starts firing lasers at Red Ruby with the Garnetronic 5000.'' ''Red Ruby dodges the lasers being fired at him, while attempting to ram Gary Garnet. However, thanks to the Garnetronic 5000 suit, Gary Garnet is much faster and is able to dodge Red Ruby. Red Ruby, knowing that he is at a disadvantage, starts going back to the platform. Gary Garnet takes this opportunity to fly towards Red Ruby in an attempt to ram him off the platform. However, Red Ruby aims one of his firecrackers, before releasing it, causing it to head towards and explode on Gary Garnet, dealing some damage to the Garnetronic 5000 suit.'' ''Red Ruby releases the other firecracker at Gary Garnet. Gary Garnet dodges it this time.'' ''Gary Garnet activates a grappling hook, firing it at Red Ruby. It manages to catch him, as Gary Garnet slowly pulls Red Ruby towards him.'' ''Red Ruby creates a stack of dynamite sticks, while hiding them from Gary Garnet. When he is close to Gary Garnet, he quickly turns around and throws the stack of dynamite sticks at Gary Garnet, blowing him and the Garnetronic 5000 up. Red Ruby lands onto the platform safely with his firecrackers, while Gary Garnet is not so lucky, as he lands onto the platform painfully.'' Discord appears, and lifts Red Ruby's hand. The crowd cheers for Red Ruby. Discord snaps his fingers, and Gary Garnet disappears. ''Discord snaps his fingers, making Red Ruby appear on a soft chair underneath the platform. The rest of the gang is near him.'' Discord is in the center of the platform, ready to announce the next match. ''Discord snaps his fingers, making Green Knife appear. The crowd cheers.'' Discord snaps his fingers, making a mysterious person in black armor appear on the other side of the platform. ''Green Knife charges towards the Dark Knight to deliver some punches. However, the Dark Knight doesn't take any damage from Green Knife's attacks. His armor protects him from taking any damage. Instead, the Dark Knight just laughs, and moves to attack Green Knife.'' Red Spoon sees that Green Knife is about to be beaten up by a mysterious knight, and throws in a white towel, meaning that Green Knife gives up. Discord snaps his fingers, making Pink Angel appear on one side of the platform. Discord snaps his fingers, making Electra appear on the other side of the platform. ''Pink Angel fires a volley of arrows at Electra. Electra creates an electric forcefield around herself, deflecting the arrows.'' Electra shoots powerful electric blasts at Pink Angel, dealing some heavy damage. ''Pink Angel takes out several bomb arrows, before firing them at Electra.  Electra's forcefield takes the damage from the bomb arrows, until it finally deactivates from all the damage it has taken.'' ''Electra shoots powerful lightning bolts at Pink Angel, electrocuting her opponent. Pink Angel then starts flying into the air, pointing another bomb arrow at Electra.'' ''Pink Angel fires more bomb arrows at Electra while flying around in mid-air. Electra moves quickly, dodging the bomb arrows, but getting damaged by the explosions anyway. Still, she's not ready to give up.'' Electra starts flying as well, and shooting lightning bolts at Pink Angel. Pink Angel fires more bomb arrows at Electra, while dodging the lightning bolts. Pink Angel takes out a few flaming arrows and fires them on the platform below, setting it on fire. Electra shoots a powerful electic bolt at Pink Angel, electrocuting it much more than last time. ''Pink Angel fires more bomb arrows at Electra, in an attempt to make her fall onto the flaming platform. Electra flies in zig-zag, dodging the arrows. However, one of them manages to hit her, and she falls.'' ''However, in the last moment, before she touches the fire below, Electra manages to regain her flight, and starts going back up. The crowd cheers. Blade, holding a sign that says "Go Electra!", jumps in excitement.'' Electra shoots several more electric bolts at Pink Angel, weakening it quickly. Pink Angel fires some more bomb arrows at Electra, while dodging some of Electra's electric bolts. Electra, while flying, manages to create her electric forcefield once again, protecting her from the bomb arrows. Electra flies towards Pink Angel, ready to ram into him with her forcefield. Pink Angel dodges Electra's forcefield with its flying skills. Electra shoots several electric bolts at Pink Angel, weakening it even more, and causing it to fly slower due to the damage. Pink Angel is about to fire another bomb arrow, but finds out that it has run out of arrows. Electra dashes towards Pink Angel, electrocuting the angel with her forcefield, before shooting many more electric bolts at him. ''Pink Angel is about to be defeated, but decides to do one last move. It flies towards Electra, ramming into her and pushing her closer to the flaming platform.'' Electra spins, turning Pink Angel towards the flaming platform, before delivering a final electric bolt at her opponent. Pink Angel gets burnt and electrocuted at the same time, and is thus defeated. The crowd, specially the villain side of the crowd, cheers. The crowd cheers. Discord is ready to announce the next match. Discord snaps his fingers, making Starcade appear on one side of the platform. The crowd cheers as Discord makes Green Shadow appear on the other side of the platform. The crowd cheers as the fight officially begins. ''Green Shadow fires ice blasts at Starcade, who easily dodges them with her great agility. Starcade sneaks her way past the ice blasts, before appearing right in front of Green Shadow, dealing quick punches to her and knocking her onto the ground.'' ''Starcade fires lasers from her laser pistols at Green Shadow. Green Shadow retaliates by deflecting the lasers with her cape, right back at Starcade. Starcade dodges all but one of the lasers, and takes minor damage.'' ''Green Shadow spins around, casting and launching a tornado that covers the width of the platform. Starcade gets blown by the tornado high up in the air, before falling right down. The crowd gasps as they see Starcade grab the ledge of the platform to prevent herself from falling down.'' Just as Starcade is about to lose hope, she sees the entire team of Retro Rebels cheering her on, while holding up posters of her. ''Starcade concentrates all of her strength while hearing her friends cheer her on, pushing herself upwards into the air and back onto the platform. Green Shadow turns around and fires an ice blast at Starcade, who dodges it easily.'' ''Before Green Shadow can cast another tornado, Starcade quickly runs up to Green Shadow, dealing quick punches and kicks to her. Green Shadow punches back, and the two heroes engage in a fistfight.'' ''Green Shadow suddenly loses focus, as she starts gaining traumatic flashbacks of the events that happened in Discord Disaster, when she sees the Locked Room Gang crumbling. Starcade takes advantage of this, and deals a powerful punch to Green Shadow. Suddenly, she uses her strength to pick up Green Shadow and lift her in the air.'' Starcade, unaware that Green Shadow has passed out due to the traumatic flashbacks the latter had earlier, slams Green Shadow onto the ground, defeating her. The crowd cheers. The Dark Knight laughs maniacally again. ''Boulder starts showering Blue Ocean with fast and powerful punches. Blue Ocean creates a forcefield to defend himself from Boulder's poweful attacks.'' ''Boulder finally manages to break through the forcefield out of pure strength, leaving Blue Ocean apparently defenseless. Blue Ocean points an electric cannon at Boulder.'' ''Blue Ocean shoots an incredibly powerful electric bolt from his electric cannon. Boulder, who has his hands on the electric cannon, gets heavily electrocuted.'' ''Boulder is being continously electrocuting by Blue Ocean's electric cannon, until he falls on the ground, defeated. The crowd cheers for Blue Ocean.'' The crowd cheers as Takeshi and Sasuke start fighting. ''Takeshi fires electric bolts at Sasuke while Sasuke fires water projectiles at Takeshi. Both elemental ninjas are countering each other's attacks so far.'' Both Takeshi and Sasuke continue countering each others attacks, until one of Takeshi's electric bolts spread current through Sasuke's water projectiles, electrocuting Sasuke. ''Sasuke takes out his pair of water sickles and charges towards Takeshi. However, before Sasuke can land a devastating slash, Takeshi blocks it with his electric weapon, before both elemental ninjas proceed to attack each other with their weapons.'' ''Takeshi and Sasuke continue a brief weapon battle, until both weapons clash and make a huge impact, so huge that it knocks Takeshi and Sasuke back a few feet each. Sasuke charges toward Takeshi again, who responds by slamming his electric hammer to the ground, creating an electric shockwave which knocks back Sasuke to the point that he almost falls off the platform.'' ''Sasuke regains his balance before leaping towards Takeshi. Takeshi fires electric bolts at Sasuke, who counters them with his water projectiles. Takeshi dodges out of Sasuke's way, before hitting him with his electric hammer and picking him up easily with his super strength.'' ''Takeshi throws Sasuke to the ground. However, Sasuke does not fall on all four floors, and instead squats with his water sickles implanted on the ground. Takeshi decides to approach to Sasuke with his electric hammer to hit him one more time. However, to his surprise, Sasuke turns around and casts a tsunami on Takeshi, catching him off-guard and dealing heavy damage to him. Sasuke ends the round by continuously attacking Takeshi with his water sickles, defeating him.'' ''The crowd cheers. Discord then snaps his fingers, making Sasuke appear where the other winners are, and making Takeshi disappear.'' ''Boss Choy leaps at Kyoji and starts punching him. However, Kyoji does not fight back and instead blocks Boss Choy's punches with the sword of Elementia, as the villain continues attempting to punch him.'' ''Boss Choy continues punching Kyoji, with the ice ninja blocking every single one of his punches. He changes tactic and slams both fists on the ground, picking up chunks of the platform, before throwing the platform chunks at Kyoji.'' Kyoji creates an ice wall to protect himself from the projectiles Boss Choy throws at him. ''Boss Choy starts punching Kyoji again at full speed, but Kyoji once again blocks Boss Choy's attacks with an ice wall. Boss Choy punches the ice wall, breaking through it, but it also makes him very exhausted at the same time.'' ''Boss Choy concentrates all of his strength, slamming his fists onto the platform repeatedly and creating several shockwaves. Kyoji dodges the shockwaves, while Boss Choy is exhausted, to the point where he can barely stand up straight.'' ''Boss Choy attempts to punch Kyoji again. However, this time instead of blocking or dodging the punch, Kyoji grabs Boss Choy's fist before judo throwing and slamming him onto the ground.'' ''Boss Choy tries punching Kyoji again, but Kyoji counters every single one of Boss Choy's punches with some of his sword slashes. Kyoji charges up his Sword of Elementia, while Boss Choy charges towards him again. He finishes Boss Choy off by firing a powerful ice beam from his sword, freezing and defeating Boss Choy.'' The crowd cheers, and Dsicord makes Kyoji appear where the other winners are. Rainbow Dash appears on one side of the platform. ''Blade starts crying, making the crowd boo at Rainbow Dash, believing she said something mean at him. Little did they know it was just a tactic to make her feel bad.'' Rainbow Dash gets really angry when Blade calls her a liar, and Blade soon notices it. ''Rainbow Dash flied high into the sky, and then descended towards Blade at high speed, even causing a sonic boom. The collision was so powerful, it sent Blade flying out of the arena.'' ''Red Fork appears on one side of the platform. The crowd, specially the ponies, cheer together for Red Fork, while Twilight and her friends hold up large posters of him, and Blue Ocean from the winners' place in cheering for him as well. Pinkie Pie even appears with her face painted half red and half blue, in representation of Red Fork.'' ''Red Fork immediately rams towards Dark Green Shadow, crashing into her with all the weight of his body. The collision almost sends Dark Green Shadow flying away. She is able to stay on the platform, though.'' ''Dark Green Shadow fires peas at Red Fork, while aiming them at his face. Red Fork opens his mouth, swallowing the peas without any trouble.'' Red Fork rams into Dark Green Shadow again, delivering some heavy damage on the latter. ''Dark Green Shadow starts spinning around, before creating and launching several tornadoes at once, which home in on Red Fork. Red Fork finally takes some damage by the tornadoes, although his heavy weight prevents him from being lifted too far from the ground.'' Red Fork rams into Dark Green Shadow a couple of more times, leaving her much more weakened than before. Dark Green Shadow charges up, before casting a freezing shockwave, freezing most of Red Fork's body except his face. Red Fork struggles to break free, but he doesn't manage to do so. ''Red Fork uses his magic horn to generate heat, melting the ice that he's trapped in. When Dark Green Shadow looks at Red Fork again, she realizes he's freed himself from his icy prison.'' '' Dark Green Shadow proceeds to cast a powerful ice tornado, with her ice and wind powers combined, which homes in on Red Fork. Red Fork is frozen again by Dark Green Shadow's powers.'' ''Dark Green Shadow fires a few ice blasts at Red Fork. While Red Fork deals with the ice blasts, Dark Green Shadow charges towards Red Fork and punches him rapidly, knocking him onto the ground.'' Red Fork stands up, causing the crowd to cheer loudly. ''Red Fork jumps high, to Dark Green Shadow's confusion, as she was expecting another ramming attack. Then, she realizes what Red Fork is up to. He lands directly on Dark Green Shadow, squashing her completely with his weight. A loud sound was heard when Red Fork landed. The crowd only sees Red Fork now, since Dark Green Shadow is squashed under Red Fork.'' ''Scorch quickly begins by shooting several powerful fire blasts at Star.  Star creates a wall of popsicle-flavored ice to protect herself from the fire blasts. Scorch continues shooting fire blasts at the popsicle wall, continuously melting it.'' ''Star casts a spell on a cloud, causing it to rain heavy snow on Scorch. Scorch's flames get weaker, while he also takes damage from the snow storm.''
 * Blast: What a relaxing morning.
 * Gerald: Yep.
 * Star: Uh-huh.
 * Alice: It sure is a relief, specially after fighting so many villains lately.
 * Green Shadow: I'm just relieved Bonk Choy and Re-Peat Moss are fine after our evil counterparts froze us.
 * Bonk Choy: It was pretty cold, huh?
 * Starcade: Let's relax while we can. You must have been traumatized by what they did to you.
 * Bonk Choy: I guess that's true. All I'm dreaming right now is a wish that Gary Garnet would finish his project on helping us solve the constant city rebuilding problem. It must have been exhausting for you guys to rebuild a city over and over again.
 * Red Ruby: It sure is!
 * Red Fork: Definitely.
 * Blue Ocean: Don't worry, we're doing great progress on that machine. I think it'll be ready in a few days.
 * Boulder: What in the world is that!?
 * Alice: I don't know, but something unusual is surely happening.
 * Marco: I agree with Alice. I've never seen a lot of people this excited.
 * Green Shadow: That's abnormal if you ask me.
 * Bonk Choy: Shall we go check it out?
 * Kyoji: Let's go. It might be important.
 * Blue Ocean: In all my interdimensional travels, I have never seen anything like this.
 * Gary Garnet: An arena? Now that's unusual.
 * Toby Topaz: We never had an arena in Echo Creek!
 * Gerald: I agree, I never remembered the park having a large arena.
 * Starcade: We do have a couple of arenas in Eitbit though. But you're right, I've never seen an arena in Echo Creek.
 * Test Subject Blue: Who's out there fighting?
 * Pink Angel: I don't have the slightest idea, Blue. Sorry.
 * Test Subject Blue: I guess we'll find that out somehow.
 * ???: Welcome everyone, to the greatest fighting event in the history of Echo Creek! Get ready to see your favorite heroes and villains fight each other in the ultimate showdown! I'm your host, DIIIIS-COOOOORD!!!
 * Gerald: Oh no, not him!
 * Blue Ocean: It's Discord!?
 * Red Fork: But how? Wasn't he turned into stone the last time we fought him?
 * Diana Diamond: This is indeed strange.
 * Amelia Amethyst: I wonder how he even broke out of being stone.
 * Kyoji: I think that's going to remain as a mystery.
 * Gary Garnet: Which another theory for me to work on! But of course, my project is the top priority in my workload.
 * Green Shadow: Discord? I wonder what he's up to now...
 * Discord: Now, tell me ladies and gentlemen, are you all ready for some action-packed fighting!?
 * Discord: Well, here's how it all works! The fighters will battle one against one on this floating platform.
 * CypherDen: Huh, so I assume it's a bit like Smash Bros.
 * Discord: The winner passes onto the next round, and the loser gets eliminated! The one fighter who wins the tournament will not only be known as the fighting champion of Echo Creek, but will also win the greatest reward: The Elements of Harmony!
 * Red Fork: Wait, how did he get the Elements of Harmony!?
 * Blue Ocean: That sneaky drakonequus did it again...
 * Bonk Choy: Dragon Eggs?
 * Green Shadow: *facepalms* Drakonequus...
 * Bonk Choy: Wow, I never would've guessed!
 * Red Fork: Drakonequus is the name of the species Discord is.
 * Jaiden: Well, you learn something new everyday.
 * Starcade: We have to get the Elements back!
 * Test Subject Blue: But how?
 * Starcade: I think our only option is to get in there and join the tournament. We've seen what Discord could do, so it would be a bad idea if we go confront him.
 * Marco: Yeah...
 * Blast: Yes, I think we should hurry to do it though. Look at who's already joining the tournament!
 * Green Shadow: It's the villains! And they're signing up!
 * Rebecca: This is going to be troublesome.
 * Kyoji: We should hurry. It won't be good if a villain grabs hold of the Elements of Harmony.
 * Gerald: Well then, we must get in line.
 * Bonk Choy: Let's get in line!
 * Red Fork: Let's go!
 * Bright Spark: This is it! With my new battle robot, those elements will finally be mine! No dobut about it!
 * Opposite Blast: What are you talking about, you nerdy horse!? My team's going to get those elements?
 * Johnny McSplat: Yeah right, as if you really had a chance here, traitor!
 * Opposite Blast: Call me that one more time. I dare you.
 * Johnny McSplat: Uh... never mind. See ya loser! *runs away*
 * Bright Spark: Don't worry about that blockhead.
 * Opposite Blast: Why?
 * Bright Spark: Because I'm going to be the winner! No one will stop me!
 * Scorch: Fire! You and your rusty robots are going down!
 * Akasha: Whatever, all of you are going down! No one can withstand the combination of fire powers and shadow arts!
 * Re-Peat Boss: Oh yeah? My robot is going to take you down!
 * Boss Choy: And I'll be giving quite a punch once we get into the arena!
 * Dark Green Shadow: I don't care. I will be the ultimate champion. Peas rule!
 * Akasha: Say that again, traitor, and I promise you a painful death.
 * Dark Green Shadow: Bring it on, I'm always ready.
 * Captain Blowhole: And I'm ready to put an end to this competition! Sure, I may always be accompanied by an army, but I'm pretty powerful on my own!
 * Akasha: We'll see how powerful you truly are once we get onto the arena.
 * Doughleficent: I'm sure my zombie army and I will win this battle!
 * Dark Green Shadow: Yeah, alright, like that would ever happen.
 * Captain Blowhole: For a villain, you sure are weak, Doughleficent.
 * Doughleficent: I'll make you eat your words!
 * Boss Choy: Oooh, burn!
 * Opposite Blast: Eat those words? Funny coming from a villain who uses sweets as an army. Ha!
 * Scorch: Now that's a real burn! Fire!
 * Gerald: Hello, Discord.
 * Discord: I knew you would come. And I'm glad you did. After all, what would an Echo Creek Battle Tournament be without the Locked Room Gang?
 * Kyoji: You're right about that.
 * Green Shadow: We're ready for a battle.
 * Starcade: It's gonna be a great slam and then some!
 * Red Fork: Yeah! We're ready to rock!
 * Boulder: Sign us in.
 * Discord: Perfect. *signs in the names for the tournament* You do realize you'll most likely have to fight each other during the tournament, right?
 * Green Shadow: Wait what?
 * CypherDen: That's a shocker.
 * Starcade: Fight our friends? No way! You did the same trick the last time, we'll not let it happen again!
 * Test Subject Blue: About that, we won't forgive you for what you did to us, Discord.
 * Bonk Choy: I felt bad after realizing that I've hurt Re-Peat Moss, bad enough as it is!
 * Re-Peat Moss: What do you want from us, TRICKY villain?
 * Discord: *smiling* It's simple. Everyone will fight individually during the tournament. There's no teams. You have to fight whoever you are set up against, even if it's another member of your gang. *pretending to be concerned* Of course, if that's a problem for you guys, I can let you reconsider joining the tournament. I'd hate you guys to have to fight each other again just to save the world from any villain who gets their hands on the elements of harmony. *smiles maliciously*
 * Green Shadow: Grrr....fine! We'll join your stupid tournament! Just wait until we win the Elements of Harmony!
 * Gerald: This is a decision I'll probably regret.
 * Green Shadow: As long as we get the Elements of Harmony back, that's all that matters.
 * Gerald: Will we still be friends, even if we kick each other's butts?
 * Green Shadow: We'll be friends to the end. I just hope that Discord won't try to hypnotize us like he did the last time.
 * Gerald: Yeah, that'll be terrible...
 * Red Fork: Come on Discord, we're ready to accept your challenge! Once we win, we'll defeat you once again with the Elements of Harmony!
 * Discord: That is, if you win the tournament. I heard there's several nasty villains joining this tournament. I'm sure you know them by now. I just hope they don't try cheating to win. After all, the only rule is that it's a one vs one fight. Besides that, everyone can fight however they want! Good luck Locked Room Gang!  I wonder who will win this tournament. *laughs maniacally before disappearing*
 * Red Fork: Come on gang, let's not get discouraged. He's just trying to play mind games on us like last time!
 * Jelo: Yeah, let's just get ready for the tournament.
 * Blast: Let's do this!
 * Blue Ocean: No villain will beat us!
 * Red Fork: Green Knife!? What are you doing here, uncle!?
 * Green Knife: I'm gonna fight!
 * Red Fork: What!? No! It's too dangerous! You could get hurt.
 * Green Knife: Hey, no need to worry. I'll let you know I was a great fighter when I was your age.
 * Green Knife: Ouch... I'm still warming up!
 * Red Fork: If you say so...
 * Pinkie Pie: That's the spirit Dashie! I'm sure you'll win this tournament!
 * Rainbow Dash: Of course I will! I'm the coolest!
 * Dark Shadow: I doubt that.
 * Black Gem: After all, I'm the only pony who will get her hooves on those elements. Just imagine having the most valuable treasure from Equestria!
 * Dark Shadow: I need them to be the most powerful unicorn warrior ever. It's my mission to become the ultimate warrior.
 * Ace: The one who wins this tournament will be who masters using both body and mind in combat. No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you haven't trained your mind to be a warrior. May the best fighter win.
 * Blast: My brother's here too!?
 * Ace: Alex, are you sure you want to join? It's a dangerous competition.
 * Blast: Sure! I'm up for the challenge!
 * Ace: If you say so. But don't forget to be careful. Your well-being is the number one priority.
 * Blast: Sure, thanks brother. Good luck.
 * Ace: I think you mean, do your best. To trust in luck is to do a gamble. The only way to secure success is by training your own skills. Become better each day, and never stop improving. That's what makes a true winner. But regardless of that, good luck, Blast.
 * Black Gem: What an arrogant guy. He's just a know-it-all.
 * Blast: I won't let you talk about my brother like that!
 * Black Gem: What are you going to do, shrimp? Beat me up? I'm pretty sure you'll want to wait until the tournament starts before getting beaten up.
 * Alice: Hey, cut it out!
 * Dark Shadow: Who are you, Blade?
 * Red Fork: Alright, enough of this. Let's save our energy for the tournament, ok? These arguments won't do us any good.
 * Black Gem: Fine. But good luck guys, you're going to need it. *winks before leaving with Dark Shadow*
 * Green Shadow: You too, Black Gem.
 * Sean Sapphire: Captain Snap Jaws, you're here too?
 * Diana Diamond: Assorted Cookie?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Cookies!!!
 * Diana Diamond: Amelia, stick to the program!
 * Amelia Amethyst: COOKIES!!!
 * Diana Diamond: I said...
 * Assorted Cookie: Oh, I'm ready for this.
 * Starcade: Assorted Cookie, I never knew you could fight.
 * Assorted Cookie: Trust me, mi'lady, how did you think I managed to defeat Doughleficent's zombie army most of the time?
 * Captain Snap Jaws: I'm joining the tournament too, most likely to get that title of being the best fighter of Echo Creek. But I'm surprised to see a cookie like Assorted Cookie being able to fight.
 * Red Fork: Well, it seems we've got quite some fierce competition going here.
 * Discord: *onstage, with the fancy suit and hat* Is everyone ready for the first round of our glorious Battle Tournament!?
 * Green Shadow: We're ready!
 * Bonk Choy: Let's do this!
 * Toby Topaz: Hopefully, we don't get hypnotised or anything.
 * Discord: Well, let's get ready! The first round is about to start!
 * Green Shadow: Well, who's up first?
 * Discord: Let's get ready for our first match!
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, a red gemstone full of fury, ready to explode into ashes any enemy that dares to get in his way. Let's all cheer for, REEEED, RUBYYY!!!
 * Red Ruby: Alright, it's about time I get some respect around here. Now bring me a worthy opponent for me to blow up!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's the smartest gem around! The orange genius of the gemstones, he knows science will never fail him. Let's welcome to the platform... GARYYYY, GARNEEEET!!!
 * Red Ruby: Oh come on! Anyone but him!
 * Gary Garnet: Discord's right, science won't fail me. Let's see how your dynamites will prove to be stronger than my intelligence, reckless red gem.
 * Red Ruby: Oh, we'll see about that, Gary. I will win this battle!
 * Diana Diamond: *watching both gemstones on the platform* Those two sure have been bitter rivals...
 * Discord: Incredible, isn't it? Let's finally see what comes out of this old rivalry! Which gem is the superior gem?
 * Discord Referee: Ok guys, I want a clean fight here. And the rules are, that there's no rules! Have fun! *disappears*
 * Discord: Ready? Set? FIGHT!
 * Red Ruby: Let's see how you like this!
 * Gary Garnet: Classic Red Ruby. Always starting with the explosives. What's next? More explosives?
 * Red Ruby: Yeah. Watch your head!
 * General Beet: Wait, what are we doing here!? I was preparing some plans in case I have to declare war!
 * Florette: I think we were brought to some kind of tournament.
 * Discord: *appears behind them* Just comment on the fights. I'll pay you afterwards.
 * General Beet: Alright.
 * Florette: Red Ruby is showering Gary Garnet with his explosives!
 * General Beet: What an explosive attack!
 * Florette: I wonder if Gary Garnet will be able to give a strong answer to Red Ruby's attacks.
 * Gary Garnet: I have a strong answer to your attacks!
 * Red Ruby: Really? What is it?
 * Gary Garnet: Fly at me again, I dare you.
 * Red Ruby: If you say so.
 * Gary Garnet: *robotic voice* Never underestimate a scientist. Now are you ready to fight or what?
 * Red Ruby: Bring it on, I say!
 * Florette: Wow, it looks like the gemstones have taken this battle to the sky!
 * General Beet: That robot suit will definitely help Gary Garnet retaliate.
 * Red Ruby: Ouch!
 * Gary Garnet: Ready to wave the white flag?
 * Red Ruby: How about you wave that white flag?
 * General Beet: This fight has turned around! Even though Red Ruby started off with a clear advantage, Gary Garnet is now the one dominating this fight!
 * Florette: However, the fight isn't finished yet. Red Ruby could still retaliate.
 * General Beet: Let's see what these gemstones do now!
 * Gary Garnet: Impossible! You blowing up my robot suit?
 * Red Ruby: Eh, blowing up is what I do best!
 * General Beet: And there we have it! Red Ruby is tossing out his explosives at Gary Garnet's robot suit!
 * Florette: Now the question is, will Gary's suit resist the explosives long enough to assure him victory for this round?
 * Red Ruby: Have at you, Gary. Here comes another one!
 * Gary Garnet: You missed.
 * Red Ruby: Worth a shot.
 * Gary Garnet: Alright, that's it, Red. Get over here!
 * Gary Garnet: Game over, Red. Everyone knows I'm the smarter one. Now come here and let's end this right now!
 * Red Ruby: You're the one who's about to come to an end!
 * Red Ruby: Looks like I won this time! That's what you get for underestimating the power of my explosives!
 * General Beet: And Red Ruby knocked out his rival! What a battle! Red Ruby has demonstrated to be the stronger gem.
 * Discord: And the winner is, REEEED, RUBYYY!!!
 * Red Ruby: Yes, I know, I rock! Thank you, people! Thank you!
 * Gary Garnet: I'll get you next time, Red. Just you wait!
 * Discord: Then next time it shall be. You're out of the tournament, Gary Garnet.
 * Discord: Well, done Red Ruby! Tell us, how does it feel to know that you're stronger than your known rival, and managed to beat him?
 * Red Ruby: I knew I was always stronger than Gary. It feels great!
 * Discord: Yes, you're definitely the best! You have managed to beat your rival, and advance to the second round! Now take a seat, fellow fighter!
 * Blue Ocean: That was quite a fight.
 * Red Ruby: Feels great to finally beat that rival of mine!
 * Green Shadow: So, who's next?
 * Discord: And now it is time to see the second math of this round! On this side of the platform, he's green, he's a pony, and he used to be everything when he was his nephew's age. Let's welcome, GREEEEEN KNIIIIFE!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's mysterious, we don't even know who he really is. But he signed up to the tournament, so he's here anyway. Let's welcome, THE DARK KNIIIGHT!
 * Red Fork: Who's that!?
 * Blue Ocean: No idea.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Green Knife: Aah!
 * Discord: And Green Knife gives up! The winner is, the Dark Knight!
 * Green Knife. Hey, Red Spoon! Why did you do that?
 * Red Spoon: Sorry uncle, but I believe you had more power lunches than power punches.
 * Red Fork: Phew, I'm glad he's ok. But who is that Dark Knight?
 * Blast: I don't know. But I guess we'll find out eventually.
 * Discord: And know, it's time for the next match! On this side of the platform, he's pink, he's an angel, and has no gender. Let's welcome, PINK ANGEEEL!!!
 * Pink Angel: Thank you. It's time to put my archery skills to the test!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, she's the queen of electric combat. No one can outsmart her, at least that's what she says. Let's welcome the electrifying fighter, EEEE-LEEEC-TRAAAA!
 * Electra: You really think you can win this fight? I'd suggest you throw in the towel before you're squirming on the ground, with a million of volts of electricity coursing through your body.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? FIGHT!
 * Pink Angel: Oh yeah? You'll be pinned to the ground with a million arrows stabbed through your body!
 * Electra: You were saying?
 * General Beet: It looks like this fight is going to be a tough one. What do you think, Florette?
 * Florette: Both of them seem to be ranged fighters, so this will probably be a battle from a distance. It looks like it'll be a shoot and dodge battle.
 * General Beet: But who will win? Arrows, or electricity?
 * Pink Angel: Arrows, definitely arrows!
 * Pink Angel: How do you like some of that?
 * Electra: Not a scratch yet. How about we get serious?
 * Pink Angel: Of course we can do that, Electra. Meanwhile, have a few more arrows, will ya?
 * Electra: Two can play that game, genderless angel.
 * Florette: It looks like this match has turned into a air combat too.
 * General Beet: Both fighters are pretty good. Who will win?
 * Florette: Both of them have taken some damage at this point. I believe Pink Angel has delivered more damage so far, but if Electra manages to set up her forcefield agian, it should give her an advantage.
 * Pink Angel: Time to make things more interesting!
 * Pink Angel: The platform is fire! Let's see which one of us will fall to a fiery defeat first. I hope you can fly well, Electra!
 * Electra: And I hope you can survive this!
 * General: Beet: Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
 * Pink Angel: *to Electra* Well, I sure survived that. I hope you can survive these!
 * Florette: And Electra falls to a burning defeat.
 * General Beet: Incredible save! I really thought this was already over folks!
 * Florette: Electra has demonstrated quite some determination in this fight. But will that be enough to defeat Pink Angel?
 * Electra: You didn't think I'd go down that easily, now did you?
 * Pink Angel: I wasn't really expecting you to recover quickly, I mean the platform is on fire! Too bad I'll have to end this fight myself.
 * Pink Angel: I guess this fight's been too intense for you, huh?
 * Electra: I was about to ask you the same thing.
 * Electra: I think it's time to say good-bye.
 * Florette: Electra is flying towards Pink Angel.
 * General Beet: That electric forcefield will surely provide a powerful shock on whoever touches it. That must be what Electra is looking for.
 * Pink Angel: Wanna give me a shock? You gotta catch me first!
 * Electra: No problem.
 * Pink Angel: Hey, you're zapping me! No fair!
 * Pink Angel: Oh no. I'm out of arrows...
 * Electra: Too bad. I guess your time's up.
 * Florette: Pink Angel seems defenseless.
 * General Beet: Perhaps the angel has no arrows left?
 * Florette: And Electra seems to be taking advantage of it. This might be the end of this battle, folks.
 * Pink Angel: I'll never lose! I must keep fighting as an honorary member of the Retro Rebels!
 * Electra: Well, I'm not ready to lose either. I'm going to win this tournament, no matter what.
 * Pink Angel: No...I've failed you, Retro Rebels...
 * Electra: I win, naturally.
 * General Beet: And that's it! Electra has won!
 * Discord: *lifts Electra's hand* And the winner of this match is Electra!
 * Discord: And Pink Angel is eliminated. *Discord snaps his fingers, making Pink Angel disappear* Congratulations Electra, you advance to the next round! *makes her appear on a comfortable chair* And now, are you ready for the next match?
 * Test Subject Blue: Aw man, Pink Angel nearly won that one!
 * Owl: Poor angel. I was rooting for it.
 * Test Subject Blue: Same here.
 * Starcade: We were all rooting for Pink Angel, weren't we?
 * Red Ruby: *looks at Electra sitting next to him* Well, well, well, look who it is! So I see you have won too, eh?
 * Electra: Yup. You'd better hope you don't have to face me next round.
 * Discord: And for the fourth match of this first round, on this side of the platform, she's the leader of the Retro Rebels, and one of the best gamers known to date. She's a "star", when it comes to "arcade". She's, STAAAR-CAAADE!
 * Starcade: Looks like it's my time to prove myself worthy on the battlefield. Alright, who am I up against?
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, she's the most famous plant hero, the true hero of peas. Let's welcome, Green Shadow!
 * Starcade: Green Shadow?!
 * Green Shadow: Wait, I'm fighting Starcade? I'm not sure about this...
 * Starcade: Well, I'm sorry, Green Shadow, but if we're working together to save the Elements of Harmony, it looks like we'll have to fight each other.
 * Green Shadow: I understand.
 * Starcade: We can serve this as fighting practice, you know, how Kyoji and I always trained together. Don't worry about me.
 * Green Shadow: Okay, I just don't wish to hurt you.
 * Starcade: So, are you ready to fight me, Green Shadow?
 * Green Shadow: Ready.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Starcade: Let's begin the fight, shall we?
 * Green Shadow: I'm ready, let's do this.
 * Florette: And Starcade has delivered the first hits in this battle, thanks to her great agility.
 * General Beet: Let's see if she can keep up the advantage throughout the fight, or if Green Shadow will be able to retaliate just as strong.
 * Green Shadow: *to Starcade* Woah, you sure have became stronger.
 * Starcade: You too. *takes out her laser pistols* Hmm...I wonder what these do!
 * Florette: That cape is really effective. It can deflect projectiles.
 * General Beet: This looks like it will definitely be a tough battle.
 * Starcade: Nice move, Green Shadow. Hey, this feels like an actual fighting game, don't you think?
 * Green Shadow: Agreed. But can you agree to accept this?
 * Starcade: Woah, that totally got me off guard.
 * Green Shadow: I'm sorry, Starcade, but I'll be the one who helps the gang to win the Elements of Harmony.
 * Starcade: *tries to climb back up* Remember your training, Starcade...remember your training...
 * General Beet: Starcade is about to fall from the edge of the platform!
 * Florette: Will she be able to make it back?
 * Starcade: I...I...urgh...*struggles to climb back up*
 * Test Subject Blue: You can do it, Starcade!
 * Smokey Bacon: Yeah!
 * Starcade: Okay...I got this, I got this, if only I can just push myself up.
 * Florette: And Starcade is back into the fight!
 * General Beet: Impressive skills!
 * Green Shadow: I'll just have to make another tornado! *charges up her wind powers*
 * Starcade: Not this time, Green Shadow.
 * General Beet: Things are getting intense now. Both heroes are having a fist fight!
 * Florette: I wonder who will win this one.
 * Green Shadow: I feel terrible...I can't hurt...
 * Starcade: I'm sorry, Green Shadow, but this is going to hurt...
 * General Beet: And she has her!
 * Florette: What is she going to do?
 * Starcade: I hate to do this, but I think it'll be better if I helped win the Elements of Harmony. Sorry again, Green Shadow.
 * Starcade: It was a good game, Green Shadow. A good game, indeed.
 * Florette: Starcade wins!
 * Discord: *lifts Starcade's hand* And the winner of this match is, STAAAR-CAAADE! Tell us Starcade, how does it feel to be the winner of this match?
 * Starcade: Well, to be honest, Green Shadow did put up a good fight. I feel sorry for having won against her, but I had to help win the Elements somehow. So I guess it's safe to say that I'm satisfied being the winner of this match, though not very happy about the fact that I've hurt Green Shadow.
 * Discord: Well, you go to the winner's section with Red Ruby, The Dark Knight and Electra. *snaps his fingers and makes Starcade appear on a comfortable chair* And Green Shadow is eliminated from this tournament! *snaps his fingers, making Green Shadow disappear* Well, everyone, who's ready for the next match?
 * Red Ruby: Congrats, Starcade. I'm surprised that you have actually won.
 * Starcade: Uh thanks, I guess...
 * Red Ruby: At least now I won't have to be alone with that creepy helmet guy and that creep!
 * Electra: Who is this creep anyway?
 * Discord: And for our next match... on this side of the platform, he's the genius pony of the Red Crystals, and Red Fork's most trustable ally. Let's welcome, BLUUUUEEE, OCEEEAAAAN!!! *snaps his fingers, making Blue Ocean appear*
 * Blue Ocean: Bring it on!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's the toughest guy around, with such a super strength that he can break through stone with his bare fists, he's, BOULDEEEER! *snaps his fingers, making Boulder appear on the other side of the platform.* Let's see who wins out of brains and brawn. Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Blue Ocean: Ready when you are!
 * Boulder: I've got this covered!
 * Florette: Boulder is on the offensive, showering his opponent with fast and strong punches and fists of fury, but Blue Ocean is keeping cool and letting his forcefield take the punishment.
 * General Beet: How long will it last, though?
 * Florette: Looks like the pony scientist is ready to attack!
 * Boulder: That thing doesn't scare me! *grabs the other side of the electric cannon with his hands* I gotcha!
 * Blue Ocean: Oh yeah? Think again!
 * General Beet: That wasn't a pretty smart move from Boulder.
 * Florette: But then again, he's not really known for being much of a smart guy.
 * Florette: Boulder has suffered an electrifying defeat!
 * Blue Ocean: And I win!
 * Discord: *appears next to Blue Ocean* Good job, Blue Ocean. You win! *snaps his fingers, making Blue Ocean appear next to Red Ruby, Starcade, Electra and the Dark Knight.*
 * Blue Ocean: Cool!
 * Discord: Sorry Boulder, you're out of here. *snaps his fingers, making Boulder disappear.*
 * Starcade: Congrats Blue Ocean, I guess...I still don't feel good after all this though.
 * Red Ruby: At least I got to show Gary who was stronger among us. Anyway, I wanna see what the next match is!
 * Discord: And the next match is between two elemental ninjas. On this side, the electric ninja, and younger brother of Akasha. He's TAAAA-KESHIIII! *makes Takeshi appear on one side of the platform*
 * Takeshi: It's my turn already? Bring on the opponent then!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, the powerful water ninja, who's has the power to bring enemies to a watery grave. He's, SAAAA-SUUUUKE! *Sasuke appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Sasuke: Water!
 * Takeshi: Sasuke, you're fighting me?
 * Sasuke: Well, what does it look like? A waterpark?
 * Takeshi: No, it's...
 * Sasuke: I hope you have what it takes to defeat me, dear friend. After all, I harness the power of water!
 * Takeshi: Well, I do like a challenging opponent. May the strongest elemental ninja win.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Florette: These are two powerful elemental ninjas. This will be an interesting fight.
 * Takeshi: Alright Sasuke, time to show me what you got.
 * Sasuke: Here's some water I got for you!
 * Takeshi: Classic.
 * General Beet: Both ninjas are countering each other's attacks!
 * Florette: Well, water and electricity are opposite elements, just like fire and ice, so it makes sense that they counter each other.
 * Sasuke: Hey! "Water" you doing?
 * Takeshi: Water conducts electricity, Sasuke.
 * Sasuke: Alright, that's it. It's time for my water weapons!
 * General Beet: And they have their weapons!
 * Florette: This will definitely take the battle to another level.
 * General Beet: And this could be it folks! This could be it!
 * Florette: Sasuke is almost knocked off of the platform.
 * Takeshi: I'm sorry, Sasuke.
 * Sasuke: Just do your worst. Water!
 * General Beet: Both are pretty good fighters, but it seems like Takeshi is dominating this fight.
 * Takeshi: Well, here goes nothing!
 * Sasuke: Better luck next time, Takeshi.
 * General Beet: Incredible! Although Takeshi had the advantage during the whole fight, at the end Sasuke was able to defeat him!
 * Discord: And the winner is, SAAA-SUUUKE!
 * Sasuke: It was intense. Water!
 * Starcade: Well, congrats.
 * Red Ruby: I give the battle 1/10. Lack of explosions. Anyway, I hope the next battle will be better! What's it going to be?
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, he's a ninja, an ice ninja to be exact, and wields the legendary sword of Elementia! Let's welcome, KYOJIIIII! *snaps his fingers, making Kyoji appear*
 * Kyoji: Bring on the opponent. I'm ready for anything. *draws the sword of Elementia*
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, a boxing villain, ready to knock out any villain who opposes him. He's BOOOSSS CHOOOOY! *makes Boss Choy appear*
 * Boss Choy: Ha ha! It's about time! So we meet again, Kyoji.
 * Kyoji: Hello, Boss Choy. I suggest that you don't get too overconfident, else it'll be hard for you to assure your victory.
 * Boss Choy: As if! I don't have to take advice from an ice ninja like you!
 * Kyoji: If you insist. Let's see what you got, Boss Choy.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Boss Choy: Let's see if you can handle my punches!
 * Florette: Boss Choy is on the offensive with quick and powerful punches, while Kyoji is staying "cool" and blocking the punches with the Elementia sword.
 * Boss Choy: Let's see how you like this!
 * Florette: And Boss Choy continues attacking, but without managing to land a single hit on Kyoji.
 * General Beet: I'm waiting to see what will happen when Kyoji starts attacking, though.
 * Boss Choy: You're pretty tough, but you haven't attacked me once! Why is that?
 * Kyoji: Sometimes the best offense is a good defense. I suggest you not to be too aggressive to your opponent.
 * Boss Choy: I think you got that backwards, frozen brain!
 * Boss Choy: *exhausted* Whew, I'm surprised you made it this far. However, you should know that I have dealt with Red Fork and Captain Red Shell before, so you're no exception! You'll succumb to the power of my punches!
 * Kyoji: Being overconfident won't get you anywhere, I promise.
 * General Beet: Wait, did Boss Choy actually take on Red Fork and Captain Red Shell?
 * Florette: Yes, but that time he was fortified by some energy spheres, so he was much stronger than usual. We don't know how well he'd stand up against them without those spheres, though.
 * General Beet: Well, Kyoji hasn't attacked Boss Choy yet. What is he doing?
 * Florette: Maybe he's trying to exhaust Boss Choy. Just look! Boss Choy is pretty exhausted now, while Kyoji is still going strong.
 * Boss Choy: Oh, we'll see who's the ultimate champion of this round, Kyoji!
 * Boss Choy: *very exhausted* I will win! You hear me? I will win!
 * General Beet: Oh! That was great!
 * Florette: It seems like Kyoji's strategy has worked well. Boss Choy is slower and weaker now, and Kyoji can counter his attacks easily.
 * General Beet: That's smart fighting, folks!
 * Boss Choy: That's it! It's time to give everything I got! EVERYTHING!
 * Kyoji: I suggest you not to do that.
 * Boss Choy: I'm getting those Elements of Harmony, and you can't stop me!
 * Kyoji: And let this loss serve as a lesson to you, not to take your opponents for granted. I hope you'll remember that, Boss Choy.
 * Discord: And the winner is, KYOJIIII!
 * Red Ruby: Oh, congrats Kyoji! I knew you could take down that blockhead!
 * Kyoji: Thanks. Boss Choy has much yet to learn.
 * Starcade: I'm glad you're with us, Kyoji. I just hope the others will be fine out there.
 * Kyoji: Me too.
 * Red Ruby: Well, who's next?
 * Discord: And for the next round, on this sid eof the platform, she's the element of loyalty, and the fastest pegasus Equestria has ever known of. Let's welcome, RAAAIN-BOOOW DAAAASH!!!
 * Rainbow Dash: Bring it on! I'm ready for action!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the room, he might not be as powerful as Opposite Blast or Scorch, but you can expect him to cut you down to size! He's, BLAAAADE!!! *Blade appears on the other side of the platform, while the gang cheers for the battle to begin* Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Rainbow Dash: No way! They let you enter this thing?
 * Blade: B-b-but... what's wrong with me?
 * Rainbow Dash: Wait! There's nothing wrong with you! I was just joking! Please stop crying, ok?
 * Discord: *appears* What's the matter?
 * Rainbow Dash: There's nothing to worry about folks. He's just a bit nervous, that's all. Totally not my fault.
 * Discord: If you say so.
 * Blade: Liar!
 * Rainbow Dash: *with a fake smile* What did you say?
 * Blade: *scared* Uh... nothing! Honest!
 * Blade: Aaaah! *flies away*
 * Discord: And Rainbow Dash won this battle by a one-hit knockout!
 * Pinkie Pie: *appears dressed like a cheerleader* You're the coolest, Rainbow Dash!
 * Rainbow Dash: Thanks.
 * Discord: Well, I guess since Blade was already sent flying away, I won't have to send him to the... I mean, he's already gone. *makes Rainbow Dash appear next to the winners, and Pinkie Pie appear back in the seats of the audience* Well, that was quick. Let's continue with our next match!
 * Red Ruby: That was AWESOME!!!
 * Starcade: Yeah, way to go, Rainbow Dash!
 * Rainbow Dash: Thanks. I wonder who's in the next match.
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, he's the real heavy weight! Not only is the heaviest we know of, he's strong, he's fast, he's the leader of the Red Crystals. With a determination and appetite outmatched in the entirety of Equestria, he is... REEEED, FOOOOORK!!!
 * Red Fork: Thanks guys, thanks guys. Well, who am I up against? I'm ready for anything you're going to toss at me!
 * Discord: At the other side of this platform, we've heard of plant heroes, but what about plant villains? Being the definition of an evil counterpart, she will not hold back until her opponents are completely eliminated. Let's welcome, DARK GREEEEN, SHAAA-DOOOOW!!! *Dark Green Shadow appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Dark Green Shadow: Well, what a surprise. I'm up against Red Fork, this is going to be easy!
 * Red Fork: Heh, you're sure in for a surprise.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Red Fork: Don't blink!
 * General Beet: Well, that's a heavy start.
 * Florette: When it comes to melee fighting, Red Fork's one of the heaviest hitters. If Dark Green Shadow wants to beat him, she'll have to be really smart on this one.
 * Dark Green Shadow: I hope you brought an appetite, because I got some peas for you!
 * Red Fork: Keep 'em coming! And while we're at it...
 * General Beet: Dark Green Shadow needs to change her strategy, and fast.
 * Florette: Red Fork is delivering really heavy damage with those horn-first ram attacks.
 * Dark Green Shadow: It's time to spin it till I win it!
 * Red Fork: Not bad. Not bad at all. *shoots a few magic blasts at Dark Green Shadow* But you see, we can't let villains win this thing, so I'm going to have to take you out.
 * Dark Green Shadow: *deflects the magic blasts with her cape* Oh really? We'll see about that, red unicorn!
 * Dark Green Shadow: You sure are fast for a heavyweight. Time to slow down!
 * Dark Green Shadow: Looks who's trapped in ice now! That's right, while you struggle in there, I'll come up with something that'll surely assure my victory.
 * Red Fork: Wow, that's cold.
 * Florette: Dark Green Shadow sure made a smart move. She stopped Red Fork in his tracks.
 * Red Fork: Wait a moment! My heat-generating I used against the Z-Alien! That should melt the ice!
 * Dark Green Shadow: Want something to eat? Eat this!
 * Red Fork: Not again! *uses his horn to melt the ice again*
 * Dark Green Shadow: So you dislike ice, huh? Well, how about this?
 * Red Fork: Oof...
 * Florette: It seems like the match has turned around. Now Dark Green Shadow has the advantage.
 * General Beet: But will Red Fork fight back? Or is this how the battle is going to end?
 * Red Fork: Heh, I've gotta admit, you're a good fighter. But I've got a mission to accomplish. It's time to deliver the final smash!
 * Red Fork: Hey, where'd she go? *stands up, seeing Dark Green Shadow, who has been left flat on the ground* Oh, there you are.
 * Dark Green Shadow: Ouch...impossible...how can I lose like the good me? *falls unconscious*
 * Red Fork: Oops... maybe I went a little too far with that last one.
 * Discord: And the winner is... REEED FOOOORK!!! *the crowd cheers loudly*
 * Red Fork: Well, thanks.
 * Discord: *snaps his fingers, making Red Fork appear where the winners are, and Dark Green Shadow disappear.* Well, it's time for our next round!
 * Red Ruby: Congrats, other Red. You did it!
 * Kyoji: Well done, Red Fork.
 * Starcade: Yeah, way to go taking down Dark Green Shadow!
 * Red Fork: Thanks guys.
 * Electra: Just wait until next round. You won't be so lucky. *The Dark Knight laughs again* Seriously, who is this creep!?
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, he's the burning fury himself, his inner flames will never be put out by anyone! Let's welcome the lord of the flames, SCOOOORCHH! *snaps his fingers, making Scorch appear*
 * Scorch: FIRE!!!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, she's not from around here, she's from another dimension! She has a magic wand full of power! Let's welcome the princess of Mewni, STAAAR BUUUTTER-FLYYY! *snaps his fingers, making Star appear on the other side of the platform*
 * Star: WOO-HOO! I'm ready!
 * Scorch: Fire! Time to burn down a star!
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Star: Popsicle Shield!
 * Star: Argh! That's hot! Time to turn down the heat! Snowflake Shower!
 * General Beet: Looks like Star is giving her opponent the cold shoulder!
 * Florette: Scorch wasn't ready for this.

Star finishes off by blasting Scorch with a concentrated ice beam. The crowd cheers for Star. Lemon Glass and Black Gem start flying, and attack each other in the air. ''Lemon Glass shoots explosive lemons at Black Gem. Black Gem dodges all the lemons, beore delivering several powerful hits on Lemon Glass, causing her to fall onto the platform.'' ''Black Gem continues attacking Lemon Glass. Lemon Glass tries to defend herself, but Black Gem is too strong and too fast for her. After exchanging a few more hits, Black Gem ends up knocking out Lemon Glass.'' ''The crowd cheers. Discord sends Black Gem to the winners' area, while he makes Lemon Glass disappear completely*'' ''Akasha starts flying, before firing fire blasts at Alice. Alice tries to dodge the fire blasts, but she gets awfully burned by most of them.'' Alice uses her flame cannon to shoot fire blasts at Akasha. Akasha teleports to behind Alice, before dealing several punches to Alice, knocking her on all fours. Blast tosses in a white towel, meaning that Alice gives up.
 * Scorch: F-f-f-fire! *shoots fire blasts, but weaker than before*
 * Star: Nice try, Scorch, but today isn't your luck day. Though I must say, it's "cool" fighting against you. Mega Blizzard Blast!
 * Scorch: Ugh! *falls flat on the ground, defeated*
 * Discord: And the winner is... STAAAAR!!!!
 * Star: Yay, I won! I won! *jumps around excitedly*
 * Discord: Well done! *makes Star appear in the winners' area, and makes Scorch disappear entirely*
 * Star: Woo hoo! Hey guys, I made it too!
 * Red Ruby: Good for you.
 * Starcade: Yeah, congrats! You certainly owned Scorch on that one!
 * Star: Thanks!
 * Red Ruby: Now who's gonna be fighting now?
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, she's the lemon pony, but also one of the best friends the Red Crystals could ask for. Always ready to help out. She's LEEE-MOOON GLAAAASS!!! *makes Lemon Glass appear on one side of the platform*
 * Lemon Glass: Ok, here we go.
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, she's an agent of the Crystal Empire, beautiful but deadly, she's, BLAAAACK GEEEEM! *Black Gem appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Black Gem: Pretty easy, if you ask me.
 * Lemon Glass: Really? *the fight starts* Let's go!
 * Florette: This match is already running, or should I say, flying?
 * Black Gem: Is that all you've got Lemon Glass? My six-year-old self could've beaten you.
 * Lemon Glass: You'll see!
 * Black Gem: What do you say? Give up, or do you still want more?
 * Lemon Glass: *injured* I'm not ready to give up just yet.
 * Black Gem: Determination, eh? Not bad.
 * Florette: And Black Gem has given Lemon Glass a powerful knockout. That makes Black Gem the winner!
 * Black Gem: *drinking some water* Those elements will be mine. It's just a matter of time.
 * Starcade: You may have won, but we'll see about that.
 * Red Ruby: You're not getting your stinking hooves on them!
 * Star: I mean, yeah!
 * Kyoji: Break it up, guys. Let's save our energy for the upcoming matches.
 * Red Ruby: Fine.
 * Star: Fair enough.
 * Red Ruby: Now bring on the next match!
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, she's the ninja of the shadows! Dark and powerful, she mastered the Shadow Arts, and Fire as well. She's, AAAA-KAAAA-SHAAA! *makes Akasha appear on one side of the platform*
 * Akasha: Thank you. Whichever competitor is behind there cowering, I suggest you to come out at once! You're about to face someone far more superior in power than you!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, whenever it comes to science, she's the one who rules. She's the brains of Blast's team, let's welcome, AAA-LIIICE! *Alice appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Alice: *sees who she's up against* Oh, come on! That's not even fair!
 * Discord: Too bad. Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Akasha: Good luck, girl. I hope your science will be of any use here, because you're gonna need a lot of it!
 * Alice: Ouch... well, two can play that game!
 * Akasha: You can use fire attacks too? Wow, but can you do this?
 * Alice: Aah! *weak and injured, but still tries to stand up* I... I...
 * Blast: *looking from outside the platform* Alice!
 * Alice: I... must...
 * Blast: I can't see Alice like that. Akasha is going to mop the floor with her!
 * Tommy: What are you going to do?
 * Discord: That's it. Alice gives up!
 * Alice: But, Blast, why did you?
 * Blast: Sorry, I couldn't stand to see you get so hurt.
 * Alice: *blushes* Uh...
 * Blast: It's ok Alice. I'll compete in the tournament too. You need to get some rest.
 * Alice: Ok...

Tommy charges towards Captain Red Shell, but Captain Red Shell dodges. Tommy keeps running towards Captain Red Shell, but Captain Red Shell continously moves fast enough to keep himself away from Tommy. Captain Red Shell continously keeps away from Tommy, enough so the latter doesn't manage to land a single hit on Captain Red Shell. Captain Red Shell points at the winners' area, where Tommy can see several powerful enemies such as Electra, Kyoji, Akasha, Starcade, Red Fork, Rainbow Dash, etc. Captain Red Shell is sent to the winners' area, while Tommy disappears. Blast flies around at super high speed, shooting ice blasts that don't deliver much damage, but do freeze. ''Marco dodges the next few ice blasts being shot at him, before leaping at Blast and attempting to use his karate chops on him. Blast uses his super speed to dodge the karate chops, before using his super strength to lift up Marco.'' ''Blast spins Marco around in the air, before freezing him with his ice powers. Then he punches the ice, breaking Marco free, but also delivering quite some heavy damage, though less than it would've been if Marco hadn't been frozen first.  Star casts a huge white bath towel, which accidentally falls onto Marco. Marco gets completely covered by the white towel, but it also emphasizes his request to surrender.'' Opposite Blast appears on the other side of the platform. Opposite Blast charges towards Ace, but Ace disappears, before appearing behind Opposite Blast, and giving him a strong punch, knocking him onto the platform. ''Opposite Blast dashes towards Ace, but Ace just protects himself with his Ace Shield. Opposite Blast gets frustrated, and continues punching furiously, while Ace disappears, only to appear behind Opposite Blast again and hit him even stronger than last time.'' ''Opposite Blast starts flying around at high speed, and Ace soon follows. Both fighters fly around at dizzying speeds, as the crowd watches amazed.'' ''Ace and Opposite Blast continue fighting in the air. Opposite Blast tries to dash around to punch Ace, but Ace not only defends himself with his Ace Shield, but also shoots powerful shadow blasts at his opponent. Opposite Blast dodges, but Ace eventually hits him with one shadow blast, knocking him back onto the platform.'' ''Ace shoots one more shadow blast at Opposite Blast, defeating him spectacularly. The crowd goes wild, cheering loudly.'' ''Spark-Boss doesn't do anything. Gary Guppy starts the battle by tossing bombs at Spark-Boss. However, once Spark-Boss is hit by one of the bombs, his eyes glow.'' ''Spark-Boss stops the bombs in the air with his magic, before tossing them back at Gary Guppy. Gary Guppy tries to dodge the storm of bombs, but it's no use. He gets blown up pretty bad. Then Spark-Boss starts tossing at Gary Guppy some bombs of his own.'' ''Gary Guppy tries to escape from the bombs that are being tossed at him. However, Spark-Boss is too fast, and Gary Guppy is left unconscious on the platform, injured by the explosions of the bombs.'' Discord snaps his fingers, sending Spark-Boss to the winners' area, while Gary Guppy just disappears. The crowd cheers. Blue Ocean appears on one side of the platform, and the crowd cheers. The fight officially begins. Black Gem flies at Blue Ocean to kick him, but Blue Ocean jumps out of the way, avoiding the hit. ''Blue Ocean starts shooting at Black Gem with his laser cannon. Black Gem flies around dodging the lasers, while trying to deliver a few hits on Blue Ocean. Blue Ocean takes advantage of whenever Black Gem comes down towards him to hit her with his hooves.'' ''Blue Ocean charges towards, Black Gem, but she instead of dodging, just grabs onto him, and kisses him on his cheek. Blue Ocean, confused, doesn't know how to react. Black Gem takes advantage of this to throw Blue Ocean off the platform, leaving the blue pony dizzy, laying on the ground.'' The battle begins, and the crowd is cheering. ''Red Ruby throws his explosives at Kyoji, who responds by creating an ice wall to protect himself. He manages to break down the ice wall a few seconds later, only to see that Kyoji has disappeared. He gets confused and moves closer to investigate, only for Kyoji to slash him from behind with his Sword of Elementia, dealing heavy damage to him.'' ''Red Ruby throws his explosives again, and Kyoji creates an ice wall to protect himself again. However, this time, Red Ruby creates firecrackers to propel himself into the sky and fly over the ice wall. He sees Kyoji behind the ice wall and plummets down, ready to crash-land on Kyoji. Kyoji calmly dodges Red Ruby, before slashing him again with the sword. Red Ruby is now very injured, but he is willing to continue.'' ''Red Ruby takes out his secret weapon - a can of chili beans. He eats it and gets set on fire by the effect of the chili beans, gaining fire powers.'' ''Red Ruby unleashes a strong burst of powerful flames at Kyoji. When Red Ruby stops unleashing the flames, he sees that Kyoji is seemingly defeated.'' ''Red Ruby goes to celebrate his victory, but just when Red Ruby gets close to Kyoji, the ice ninja surprisingly springs up and attacks Red Ruby repeatedly with the Sword of Elementia, which reveals that Kyoji has been pretending to be defeated the whole time. Kyoji's sword slashes catch Red Ruby off-guard.'' Kyoji deals one last powerful sword slash to Red Ruby, sending him flying into the air, before Red Ruby falls painfully onto the platform, defeated. ''Rainbow Dash appears on one side of the platform, ready to fight. The crowd cheers, and Pinkie Pie pops out of the crowd with her cheerleader uniform, screaming at full volume: "Go Rainbow Dash!"'' ''The fight starts. Electra shoots electric bolts at Rainbow Dash, but the agile pegasus dodges the electric bolts in the blink of an eye, so fast that Electra can barely see her opponent at all.'' ''Electra creates an electric forcefield around herself, but Rainbow Dash flies into the sky, and brings down a cloud, and jumps on it repeatedly to make it rain on Electra. The water damages Electra's forcefield, deactivating it, as well as getting Electra really wet.'' ''RainboDash flies around Electra at lightning speed, causing a tornado on the platform. Electra tries to fly out of the tornado's way, but the tornado is too strong, and sucks her in.'' ''Ranibow Dash flies around the tornado, dlivering several hits per second on Electra while she's inside the tornado. Electra quickly gets pretty damaged, to the point she can't fight back. Rainbow Dash stops the tornado, and Electra is left on the ground, dizzy and injured.'' ''Rainbow Dash kicks Electra out of the platform. The crowd cheers for her, specially Pinkie Pie and the other members of the Mane Six.'' The battle begins. ''Akasha flies into the air, before firing fire blasts at Sasuke. Sasuke counters the fire blasts with his water blasts.'' ''Meanwhile, in the battle, Sasuke launches a tsunami at Akasha in an attempt to knock her off the platform. Akasha flies above the tsunami, before using a shadow art to make the tsunami change its direction, right back at Sasuke. Sasuke leaps over the tsunami, avoiding it, before slashing at Akasha with his water sickles. Akasha takes out her pair of flaming nun-chucks, as the two elemental ninjas fight with their weapons.'' ''Akasha teleports away to the other side of the platform. She then levitates Sasuke up in the air with a shadow art.'' ''Akasha starts using her shadow arts to toss Sasuke around, preventing him from attacking. She finishes Sasuke off by levitating Sasuke high into the air, before teleporting to above Sasuke and dealing a powerful punch to him, causing him to plummet to the ground, defeating him.'' The Dark Knight sees Captain Red Shell approach him, and instead of fighting, throws himself down, and starts begging. The Dark Knight takes off his helmet, and reveals to in fact be Green Tea Cookie. Captain Red Shell raises his sword in the air, and Green Tea Cookies jumps out of his black armor, before running out of the arena, terrified of Captain Red Shell. ''Starcade suddenly remembers the time when Red Fork nearly defeated her in Nitro Mania, before Kyoji stepped in to save her.  Red Fork starts on the offensive, shooting magic blasts at Starcade.'' Starcade dodges the magic blasts with her great agility, before sneaking her way towards Red Fork and dealing a powerful punch to him, causing him to stagger a few feet back. ''Red Fork rams into Starcade, almost blowing her off the platform. Starcade manages to keep herself from falling, though.'' ''Starcade then takes out her laser pistols and starts firing laser blasts at Red Fork. Red Fork dodges the laser blasts, while shooting magic blasts back at Starcade.'' ''Starcade fires more laser blasts, before doing a 360-degree flip over the magic blasts and landing a flying kick towards Red Fork. Red Fork rolls out of the way, making Starcade hit the platform instead. Red Fork then quickly rams into Starcade again, causing heavy damage. Starcade regains her posture before she could fall off the platform, and leaps at Red Fork, while grabbing his legs and pinning them to the platform.'' Red Fork uses his own strength to throw Starcade off of him, and then stands up. Red Fork then leaps onto Starcade, squashing her under his massive weight, similar to how he did with Dark Green Shadow in the previous round. Both brothers are surprised that they're supposed to fight each other, and neither of them starts off the fight. The crowd watches, confused. Discord watches the two brothers, and gets impatient at them. The crowd gasps in surprise. ''Ace charges towards Discord, while preparing a shadow blast to shot at him. Discord snaps his fingers, and turns Ace into stone.'' ''Star fires a beam of rainbow from her magic wand at Spark-Boss. Spark-Boss gets out of the way, avoiding the bainbow beam.'' Spark-Boss starts shooting rainbow beams at Star. Star creates a popsicle-flavored ice wall once again to protect herself from the rainbow beams. ''Spark-Boss throws bombs at the popsicle wall like Gary Guppy would, until the popsicle wall has been destroyed. Then he throws even more bombs at Star.'' Star casts a shower of cherry bombs towards Spark-Boss. ''Spark-Boss creates a popsicle-flavored ice wall to protect himself from the cherry bombs. The cherry bombs blow up the popsicle wall, but then...'' Spark Boss casts a shower of cherry bombs on Star. However, before Star has a chance to cast such a devastating spell, she gets knocked out by a bunch of cherry bombs tossed at her by Spark-Boss. Meanwhile... Discord is on the platform, ready to announce the next round.
 * Discord: That means that Akasha wins this match!
 * Akasha: Pity, you had so much potential. But your friend decided to make you surrender. Feels terrible, right?
 * Alice: I don't think so. Sure, I would've liked to try a bit more, but honestly, I think I didn't really have a chance here. It's good to know that he really does care about me. *blushes*
 * Discord: Well, bye! *makes Alice disappear, while Akasha is sent to the winners' area*
 * Blast: Wait a moment, where did you send Alice?
 * Discord: I can't tell you that.
 * Blast: Why not? Where did you send her!?
 * Discord: To the same place I've been sending everyone who loses.
 * Blast: Where!?
 * Discord: Get yourself ready. Your match is going to be soon. *sends Blast where some of the gang members who haven't participated yet are*
 * Blast: I'm really worried. I have a bad feeling about all of this.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Me too.
 * Sean Sapphire: Well, who's up next?
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, he's an honorable warrior of the seas! Wielding the legendary Sword of Crabbagnon, he's the guardian of the Crab Empire! He's, CAPTAIN, REEED SHEEELL! *snaps his fingers making Captain Red Shell appear* And on the other side of the platform, he's Blast's best friend, and has a very powerful voice to sing. He's, TOOO-MMYYY! *makes Tommy appear on the other side of the platform*
 * Tommy: Ready when you are!
 * Captain Red Shell: What!?
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Captain Red Shell: No Tommy! Don't fight me!
 * Tommy: Come on!
 * Captain Red Shell: No Tommy. I don't want to fight you.
 * General Beet: I don't understand. Why is Captain Red Shell running away?
 * Florette: Captain Red Shell probably doesn't want to fight because he's afraid Tommy will get hurt.
 * Tommy: Come on Captain Red Shell!
 * Captain Red Shell: No, I won't!
 * Tommy: Stop running away!
 * Captain Red Shell: No, cut it out!
 * Tommy: Come on!
 * Catpain Red Shell: I'm not going to fight you!
 * Florette: Well, that Tommy certainly is brave.
 * General Beet: Specially when the other guy is running away.
 * Tommy: If you don't want to fight me, why don't you forfeit so I can win?
 * Captain Red Shell: Ok, but did you see who's in the next round?
 * Tommy: If it's anyone from the Locked Room Gang, I'm sure I'll be fine.
 * Captain Red Shell: But what if it isn't someone nice enough to do so?
 * Tommy: *thinks* If I fight Akasha, she'll mop the floor with me. Electra and Black Gem will do anything to win, and if Rainbow Dash or Red Ruby get angry enough, they'll knock me out of the arena! There's no way to win!
 * Captain Red Shell: So?
 * Tommy: *throws himself to the ground, pretending he's in pain* Aah! My appendix! Get me a doctor!
 * Discord: Well, I guess Captain Red Shell wins, then.
 * Starcade: So congrats, I guess.
 * Kyoji: I'm sorry that this happened, Captain Red Shell.
 * Red Ruby: There wasn't an explosion, let alone even a single strike! Worst battle ever!
 * Captain Red Shell: The best battles are those that are won without delivering a single hit, Red Ruby. If you can win without hurting your opponent, that's the best path. Fight only when necessary.
 * Discord: And the next match! On this side of the platform, he's fast, he's strong, he's sure gonna give us a blast! He's, BLAAAST! *Blast appears on one side of the platform*
 * Blast: I'm ready! Bring on my opponent!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's a karate fighter, and is ready for battle. He's, MAAAR-COOO! *makes Marco appear on the other side of the platform*
 * Marco: Alright, I'm next up! Time to display my power of karate on...*realizes that his opponent is Blast* Blast?
 * Blast: Yeah, I wasn't expecting this either.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Blast: Don't worry, I'll make sure this doesn't hurt too much.
 * Florette: And Blast is putting his super speed to good use, while shooting ice blasts at Marco.
 * Marco: Well, I have to thank you for being a considerate opponent. However, a battle's a battle, let's fight this out fair and square!
 * Blast: Well, I guess you're right. It still is a battle after all.
 * Marco: Hey, no fair! You can fly, freeze and even carry me up! I can't beat you! I quit! I'm out of here! Star, throw in the white towel!
 * Star: Okay. Bath Towel Bath!
 * Discord: And that's it. Marco quits.
 * Blast: Hey, take it easy Marco. You're still a good karate fighter. I'm sure that if no superpowers were allowed, you would've defeated me easily.
 * Discord: Yeah yeah, whatever. Blast wins, Marco loses. *sends Blast to the winners' area, while Marco disappears completely* Time for the next match! On this side of the platform... *a short flute melody is heard, as Ace appears on the platform*
 * Ace: No need for introductions. Just call me Ace... the older brother of Blast.
 * Discord: If you says so... And on this side of the platform, he's the opposite of Blast, which means, he is Opposite Blast!
 * Opposite Blast: I will crush you!
 * Ace: May the best fighter win.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Opposite Blast: So you're a clever guy, eh? We'll see about that!
 * Opposite Blast: Argh! *knocked onto the platform again* That's it, no more games!
 * Florette: This sure is an intense fight.
 * General Beet: What else could we expect from a battle between two of the strongest superpowered guys around? Opposite Blast may have more brute strength, but Ace has a greater variety of abilities, not to mention, much more experience and skill.
 * Florette: No wonder he seems to have the advantage in this fight!
 * Opposite Blast: *injured* You're not going to beat me! I will not lose against someone from the same family as Blast!
 * Ace: I'm afraid you don't have any choice.
 * Blast: Great job bro! You literally mopped the floor with him!
 * Ace: Thanks.
 * Opposite Blast: No... I can't be eliminated... not in the first round...
 * Discord: Well, that's it for this battle! *makes Ace appear with the other winners, while Opposite Blast disappears* Well, it's time for the final match of this round! On this side, the crazy bomber from the seas, GARYYY GUPPYYY! *Gary Guppy appears*
 * Gary Guppy: Ready for a CRAZY battle!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, a new creation from Bright Spark himself, SPARK BOSS! *A pony-shaped robot appears.*
 * Spark-Boss: Systems ready.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Gary Guppy: That's CRAZY.
 * Spark-Boss: Ability copied.
 * Gary Guppy: What? *tosses more bombs at Spark-Boss*
 * Gary Guppy: Aah! This is the CRAZIEST thing ever!
 * Coconut Crab: Oh no! Gary Guppy!
 * Red Fork: That's a pretty strange robot. I have a bad feeling about it.
 * Bright Spark: It was made for fighting, and it achieved its purpose. Nothing strange about that.
 * Discord: Spark-Boss wins!
 * Discord: That was a powerful first round! Now the fighters have been narrowed down from 32 to only 16! Congratulations to all the fighters that have won in this first round! The second round will begin shortly!
 * Starcade: I'm ready!
 * Star: Me too!
 * Red Ruby: Bring on the matches!
 * Discord: First, let's recap who won in the first round. The fighters who have won the first round, and therefore, pass on the the second round, are: Red Ruby, The Dark Knight, Electra, Starcade, Blue Ocean, Sasuke, Kyoji, Rainbow Dash, Red Fork, Star, Black Gem, Akasha, Captain Red Shell, Blast, Ace and Spark-Boss!
 * Discord: Now it's time for the second round of our tournament! To open the second round, on this side of the platform, he showed that brain beats brawn, he gave an electrifying defeat to Boulder. He's, Blue Ocean!
 * Blue Ocean: Ready!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, she overcame another pegasus with her superior combat skills, she's the expert at treasure hunting. She's, Black Gem! *the crowd cheers as Black Gem appears on the other side of the platform* Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Black Gem: *looks at Blue Ocean* Not exactly what I call a challenge, but here it goes.
 * Blue Ocean: Oh yeah?
 * Florette: This is a really fast-paced battle. Black Gem flies above Blue Ocean, avoiding his lasers, while Blue Ocean continues to shoot at her.
 * General Beet: And whenever Black Gem comes down towards Blue Ocean, both ponies exchange a few hits.
 * Blue Ocean: *hits Black Gem, causing her to fall back onto the platform* How about that?
 * Black Gem: You're not bad, for an amateur.
 * Blue Ocean: You'll see! *charges towards Black Gem*
 * Black Gem: Watch out, blue!
 * Florette: It looks like Black Gem gave Blue Ocean the kiss off. That move makes her the winner of this match.
 * Discord: You knocked your opponent off of the platform. You win, Black Gem.
 * Black Gem: Sorry about this Blue. I'd like to stay around, but I have some elements to win today. *winks at Blue Ocean, who is still dizzy and confused*
 * Discord: Well, you're heading to the quarter finals, Black Gem. *sends Black Gem to a new winners' area, while Blue Ocean disappears entirely.*
 * Red Ruby: Way to knockout.
 * Starcade: Poor Blue Ocean...
 * Sasuke: "Water" way to go.
 * Red Ruby: Anyway, moving on! Next match! Is it my turn yet?
 * Discord: And it's time for the next match of the second round. On this side of the platform, we've got the explosive red gem again, the one who knocked Gary Garnet out of the tournament. He's, Red Ruby! *Red Ruby appears on one side of the platform*
 * Red Ruby: Alright, it is! Now bring on the opponent for me to blow up!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's a powerful ice ninja, powerful enough to overcome Boss Choy! Let's welcome, Kyoji! *Kyoji appears on the other side of the platform, and the crowd cheers for him*
 * Red Ruby: Kyoji, there you are! About time I finally test my explosives on you!
 * Kyoji: Alright, Red. Let's see how far you'll go in this little duel of ours. Are you ready?
 * Red Ruby: Of course I am!
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Red Ruby: Time to blow up this competition!
 * Florette: Red Ruby is going strong, but Kyoji is outsmarting him.
 * General Beet: Great move by Kyoji!
 * Red Ruby: I must admit you got me that time. But your tactic won't work again!
 * Kyoji: We'll see about that.
 * Red Ruby: Oh, we will, alright.
 * Red Ruby: You just don't give up, do you?
 * Florette: My, that Red Ruby sure is persistent, even though Kyoji is dominating this fight.
 * General Beet: A true warrior fights until the end.
 * Florette: Let's see if he can fight back.
 * Kyoji: I don't. I will never leave a battle unfinished.
 * Red Ruby: Oh, don't worry about that. In fact, I'll finish the battle for you!
 * Red Ruby: Looks like things are about to heat up around here!
 * General Beet: Wow, now this is unexpected.
 * Florette: Red Ruby has gained fire powers by eating a can of chili beans! This might turn the fight around completely!
 * Red Ruby: As Scorch would say, FIRE!!!
 * Red Ruby: I...I did it! I defeated Kyoji! Now everyone will know me as the true champion! I can move on to the next round!
 * Florette: I can't believe it! Red Ruby has won the ma...
 * Florette: Ouch, that's got to hurt.
 * General Beet: Very smart technique by the ice ninja. I didn't see that one coming!
 * Florette: Neither did Red Ruby.
 * Red Ruby: Ouch!
 * Kyoji: You shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, Red. Did you really think I'll be defeated just like that?
 * Kyoji: Good match, Red. I hope your skills will improve the next time we fight each other again. *keeps the Sword of Elementia*
 * Discord: And the winner is, Kyoji! *the crowd cheers for Kyoji* Well done Kyoji! *sends Kyoji to the winners' area where Black Gem is, and makes Red Ruby disappear*
 * Black Gem: Nice job on the platform. *winks* As long as you don't have to fight me, you'll get pretty far in this thing.
 * Kyoji: I can say the same for you, Black Gem.
 * Starcade: I was honestly not expecting you to play dead.
 * Sasuke: Great job, Kyoji!
 * Kyoji: Thanks. Though I hope Red Ruby will be fine wherever he is teleported to.
 * Star: And now, what's the next match going to be?
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, she's fast, she's brave, she's the element of loyalty. She even made Blade "cut it out"! Let's welcome, Rainbow Dash!
 * Discord: On the other side of this platform, when it comes to electricity, she's a shocking expert. Not only that, but she also electrocuted Pink Angel out of the tournament. She's, Electra! *Electra appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Electra: I'm going against her? This is going to be sooo easy!
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh, really? Just you wait and see!
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Go!
 * Electra: Wha?!
 * Rainbow Dash: You're up against the best flyer in Equestria, electric girl! Don't blink!
 * Electra. Hey, look at what you did! I'm soaked!
 * Rainbow Dash: What's the matter? Can't resist a little rain?
 * Electra: Oh, I'll show you, arrogant horse!
 * Rainbow Dash: Look who's calling the other arrogant now!
 * Electra: Aah!
 * Rainbow Dash: This is about to get 20% cooler!
 * Rainbow Dash: Ready for more?
 * Electra: I... I can't lose! I'm the only member of my team that hasn't been eliminated yet!
 * Rainbow Dash: And I'm the only member of the Mane Six that signed up into this tournament in the first place. You know what they say, if you can't take the speed, don't enter the race!
 * Discord: You won, Rainbow Dash!
 * Rainbow Dash: Awesome!
 * Electra: Objection!
 * Discord: Rejected. *sends Rainbow Dash to the winners' area, while Electra disappears*
 * Kyoji: Good job out there, Rainbow Dash. Let's see who else will make it to the third round like us.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah. So far, this tournament is awesome! I wonder who's next.
 * Discord: On this side of the platform, she's a fire ninja, who has also mastered the Shadow Arts. Not only that, but she's bested Alice by a wide margin. She's Akasha! *Akasha appears on one side of the platform*
 * Akasha: Let's do this! Bring out my opponent!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he bested a strong electric ninja. How did he do it? With the power of WATER! He is, Sasuke! *Sasuke appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Sasuke: Ha ha! Meet your match, Akasha, because I harness the powers of water!
 * Akasha: Oh come on, anyone but him!
 * Sasuke: What's the matter, girl? Scared?
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Akasha: Scared? You should be dreaming! Why would I be scared by you?
 * Sasuke: I defeated you once before, remember?
 * Akasha: What do you mean? You were always as weak as the other elemental ninjas!
 * Sasuke: Well...I defeated you the first time we met. And I was after the Sword of Elementia at that time. I even took your Shadow Gauntlets. Water!
 * Akasha: Now that I think about it, that's true, but you'll never defeat me again!
 * Florette: Well, both of these ninjas seem pretty powerful. Who do you think will win, General Beet?
 * General Beet: Well, Sasuke is a water ninja, so he can easily overcome Akasha's fire powers. However, her shadow powers are a completely different story.
 * General Beet: What an intense battle!
 * Florette: Both Akasha and Sasuke are skilled elemental ninjas, this promises to be an exciting match.
 * Akasha: Ugh, this is getting boring. Time to end this charade! Now that I know that you're just another one of those pathetic water ninjas, I can defeat you despite being a fire ninja myself.
 * Sasuke: Oh really? Do you know that water beats fire? Water!
 * Akasha: I know, but can you say the same for shadow arts?
 * General Beet: And Akasha is using her Shadow Arts to overcome her opponent.
 * Florette: Water beats fire, but the Shadow Arts are going to give Sasuke a hard time.
 * Sasuke: Hey, no fair! You used your shadow arts on me!
 * Akasha: Too bad. After all, I earned them. Trust me, you won't want to know how I mastered the shadow arts. But for now, goodbye Sasuke!
 * Sasuke: Wait...no!!!
 * Akasha: Well, that takes care of him. I knew I could count on my shadow arts!
 * Florette: And Akasha has defeated Sasuke!
 * General Beet: An extraordinary win!
 * Discord: Well done Akasha. You're getting even closer to winning this tournament. *sends Akasha to the winners' area, while Sasuke disappears entirely*
 * Akasha: Ha ha ha, I advanced to the next round! Take that, Sasuke!
 * Kyoji: Don't go overconfident now, Akasha. Your next battle won't be as easy as this one.
 * Akasha: Yeah, whatever.
 * Black Gem: It might be, that is, if she doesn't have to confront me.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah, big deal Black Gem. I could beat you up any day!
 * Black Gem: We'll see about that.
 * Akasha: Trust me, neither of you would like to go against me on the next round.
 * Kyoji: I can say the same for you, Akasha.
 * Akasha: We'll see about that.
 * Discord: And it is time for the next match of our tournament!
 * Kyoji: Well, who's next? I wonder.
 * Discord: For our next match, on this side of the platform, he's the mighty warrior of the Crab Empire, Captain Red Shell! *Captain Red Shell appears on one side of the platform*
 * Captain Red Shell: I am ready for battle!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's mysterious, he's enigmatic, he's The Dark Knight! *The Dark Knight appears on the other side of the platform* Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Captain Red Shell: Let's go, metal man. Fight me! *The Dark Knight laughs* So, a tough guy, aren't you? We'll see about that. *draws his sword and charges towards the Dark Knight.*
 * The Dark Knight: Please, don't hurt me Captain Red Shell! Just let me win! Please, I'm begging you!
 * Captain Red Shell: Who are you anyway?
 * The Dark Knight: Just let me win, please!
 * Captain Red Shell: Tell me who you are!
 * The Dark Knight: It's me... Green Tea Cookie.
 * Captain Red Shell: You're the Dark Knight!?
 * Green Tea Cookie: I need those elements of harmony! I don't have any money!
 * Captain Red Shell: No. If you want to win those elements of harmony, you'll have to fight for them, just like everyone else! Now stop whining, and fight!
 * Florette: And the Dark Knight flees from the battle, so Captain Red Shell wins again!
 * Discord: Well done, captain! *sends Captain Red Shell to the winners' area*
 * Captain Red Shell: I hope my next foe actually proves to be a challenge, though.
 * Akasha: So I see you have made it too, captain.
 * Kyoji: Well, let's see who else will make it to the next round like us.
 * Discord: For the next round, on one side of the platform, she's the leader of the Retro Rebels, she's a smart and strong gamer that has been able to overcome Green Shadow. She's, Starcade! *Starcade appears on one side of the platform*
 * Starcade: Alright, let's do this! Game on!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's the true heavy weight. Not only did he smash Dark Green Shadow, but he's the leader of the Red Crystals! He's, Red Fork! *Red Fork appears on the other side of the platform.*
 * Starcade: Red Fork? Oh no...
 * Starcade: I'll be ready for you this time, Red Fork.
 * Red Fork: Let's see how much you've improved. In any case, it'll be just a friendly match.
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Florette: Red Fork begins the match with a different stategy. He's using a ranged approach.
 * General Beet: Maybe he's trying to start out easy? Or maybe he's saving energy for later in the match.
 * Red Fork: Hey, you're a bit better than last time!
 * Starcade: Not again...not again...
 * Florette: Whoa, this battle is pretty intense.
 * General Beet: Exactly what we can expect from a battle between two strong leaders.
 * Starcade: This reminds me of that time you fought me back at the Retro Rebels' arcade cabinet! You're still as strong of a fighter as you were before!
 * Florette: Starcade has Red Fork pinned down!
 * General Beet: Could this be the end?
 * Starcade: Good game, Red Fork. I'm sorry, but I have to win for the sake of helping you guys win the Elements. That's what I told Green Shadow in the first round.
 * Red Fork: I know you want to do so, but it'll be ok...
 * Red Fork: I'll take care of this.
 * Florette: Ouch, that can't be good.
 * General Beet: Red Fork just applied the smasher, just like in his previous round.
 * Starcade: Ouch...*faints*
 * Discord: Red Fork wins!
 * Red Fork: Sorry Starcade. But don't worry, I'll make sure no villain gets their hands on those elements of harmony.
 * Discord: That was a smashing victory, Red Fork! How does it feel to know you're stronger than most of your teammates?
 * Red Fork: Not bad, I must say. Wait a moment... I know what you're doing! You're trying to get in my head, just like you did to everyone last time! It's not going to work!
 * Discord: Whatever. *sends Red Fork to the winners' area, while Starcade disappears entirely*
 * Akasha: It's about time someone owned that silly girlfriend of Kyoji's!
 * Kyoji: I dare you to say that again in front of my face. *points the Sword of Elementia at Akasha* 
 * Akasha: Whatever, you're just wasting your energy. You know I can beat you anytime, right?
 * Kyoji: And who was the one who got beaten every time in our duels?
 * Akasha: I...I...grr...fine, but just wait until we can fight each other so I can crush you!
 * Kyoji: We'll see about that.
 * Black Gem: Big deal. Fight as much as you want, I'll be the one getting the elements.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah right, you only won because you kissed Blue Ocean!
 * Black Gem: It's called to not fight harder, but smarter.
 * Rainbow Dash: Wait until I show you!
 * Red Fork: Ok, calm down everyone.
 * Kyoji: You're right, let's just move on.
 * Akasha: I wanna see who else will make it so that I can own them the next round!
 * Discord: And for the next match of this round, on this sid eof the platform, he's fast, stron, and has ice powers. What more could you want? He's Blast! *Blast appears on one side of the platform*
 * Blast: Bring it on!
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's... *a short flute melody plays*
 * Blast: Oh no...
 * Ace: *appears on the other side of the platform* I'm ready to... Alex!?
 * Discord: A brawl between brothers? This will be interesting. Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Akasha: Well, the interest factor of the tournament has just went up another level.
 * Blast: *thinking* How can I do this? How can I fight Jason like this?
 * Ace: This won't work. I can't fight my little brother.
 * Blast: I guess we're on the same page.
 * Blast: *whispers* What do we do, Jason?
 * Ace: *whispers back* I don't know.
 * Discord: Oh, for the sake of chaos, fight! What are you waiting for!?
 * Ace: I won't fight Alex.
 * Blast: And I won't fight Jason.
 * Discord: Do you really want to test my patience?
 * Ace: I'd rather fight you instead!
 * Discord: Believe me, you don't want that.
 * Blast: Brother, what are you doing?
 * Ace: Discord, I'll fight you! If I lose, you let Blast move on. What do you say?
 * Discord: I say you're doomed, kid.
 * Blast: What!? Discord, undo this!
 * Discord: He wanted to fight me, so there he has it.
 * Blast: No fair!
 * Discord: He shouldn't have challenged me in the first place. He was pretty brave, though.
 * Blast: Brother...
 * Discord: Blast, you move on. Now someone else finally understands how it feels like to be turned into stone. *sends Blast to the winners' area, while Ace disappears entirely*
 * Blast: That's playing dirty, Discord!
 * Discord: Playing dirty? I did say that the only rule is to fight each other. He defied that rule, and therefore, he's the one that cheated. Sorry Blast, but this is my game, I make up the rules. Now stop whining, or you'll end up like Ace. *disappears*
 * Blast: My brother... I just hope he's ok.
 * Kyoji: Don't worry, Blast. We'll avenge your brother somehow. It's only a matter of time.
 * Akasha: He was pretty brave and caring, I have to admit.
 * Kyoji: Discord won't get away with this. We'll make sure of it.
 * Blast: Thanks guys.
 * Discord: And it's time for the last match of this second round. On this side of the platform, she's a magical princess from another dimension! She's, Star Butterfly! *the crowd cheers as Star appears on one side of the platform*
 * Star: I'm ready! Who am I up against? *prepares her wand*
 * Discord: And on the other side of the platform, he's Bright Spark's strongest creation yet, at least that's what the brilliant doctor says himself. He's, Spark-Boss! *Spark-Boss appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Spark-Boss: Ready to battle.
 * Star: Let's do this!
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Star: Rainbow Blast!
 * Spark-Boss: Ability copied!
 * Star: Argh! Popsicle Shield!
 * Spark-Boss: Using Gary bombs!
 * Star: Gah! That's a lot of bombs! Here's some of mine! Cherry Bomb Surprise!
 * Spark-Boss: Copying ability... Popsicle Shield!
 * Spark-Boss: Copying ability... Cherry Bomb Surprise!
 * Star: Eek! It's time I used one of my most powerful spells! Cataclysmic Total Extinction Death...
 * Discord: Spark-Boss wins!
 * Bright Spark: Yes! Nothing will stop me from getting those elements of harmony this time!
 * Discord: And that's the last match of this second round! *sends Spark-Boss to the winners' area, while he makes Star disappear entirely*
 * Florette: This has been a great tournament so far.
 * General Beet: These fighters sure have demonstrated to mean serious business.
 * Florette: And now we're down to eight! Red Fork, Kyoji, Akasha, Blast, Captain Red Shell, Spark-Boss, Rainbow Dash and Black Gem!
 * General Beet: Who will win the tournament, and earn the elements of harmony?
 * Akasha: Obviously, that's going to be me.
 * Kyoji: I don't think so. We won't let them get into the hands of a villain like you.
 * Akasha: Oh, is that so? We'll see about that once I win this round!
 * Black Gem: Whatever you say. It's pretty obvious that I'm going to get my hooves on those elements at the end.
 * Rainbow Dash: No, you won't!
 * Red Fork: Here we do again.
 * Captain Red Shell: Arguing is useless. Everyone will prove their true power on the battlefield. May the best warrior win.
 * Bright Spark: This is just perfect! Just a few more battles, and Spark-Boss will win this tournament! Then, with the power of those elements of harmony, Spark-Boss will be able to use his full power.
 * Discord: What are you up to, Bright Spark?
 * Bright Spark: Oh, nothing. I'm just pretty excited for the next round of the tournament, that's all!
 * Discord: Great! I'll go announce the next round! Get your fighting robot ready! I have the feeling that this round will be much more intense than the previous two. Only powerful fighters are left! *leaves to announce the next round*
 * Bright Spark: Discord is right. Kyoji, Akasha, Captain Red Shell... even Red Fork! No matter who Spark-Boss has to fight, I have to make sure none of those fighters ruins my master plan. I guess my best bet will be to take the strongest one out of the tournament... but not before my robot gets the chance to copy his abilities. Once that's done, my robot will be able to destroy the others for the rest of the tournament. It's the perfect plan!
 * Discord: Hello everyone! Are you enjoying this battle tournament? *the crowd cheers* I thought so. Well, now things are going to get much better, because we're in the quarter finals! Only eight fighters left, and four intense matches to fight to determine who earns a spot within the final four! *the crowd cheers* So, let's get ready! The first match of the quarter finals is about to begin!
 * Akasha: Let's do this!
 * Kyoji: I wonder who's up first.

''Rainobw Dash moves around Black Gem at high speed, while Black Gem manages to dodge Rainbow Dash in the air. The crowd can only see the two pegasi dashing around in the air. Black Gem elivers powerful kicks on Rainbow Dash, but this doesn't drop her down. Instead, rainbow Dash delivers just as powerful kicks on her opponent.'' ''Both pegasi keep dashing around the air, delivering powerful hits on each other. Rainbow Dash tries to fly higher to bring a cloud over Black Gem, but Black Gem follows her, and kcisk her back down. Rainbow Dash manages to continue flying before she hits the platform. Rainbow Dash then charges into Black Gem, and both pegasi continue their fight.'' ''The two pegasi continue the brutal match, until Black Gem dodges one of Rainbow Dash's kicks, and then spins around gracefully, before knocking Rainbow Dash out of the sky, and making her fall onto the platform. The impact was so powerful that a small crater can be seen where Rainbow Dash hit the platform.'' Rainbow Dash stands up, and tries to go after Black Gem, but she faints before she can start flying. (Under Construction)
 * Discord: And for the first round, on this side of the platform, the prettiest agent from the Crystal Empire, but don't let her looks fool you. She's tough, and means business! She's Black Gem! *Black Gem appears on one side of the platform*
 * Black Gem: Who am I up against, mister drakonequus?
 * Discord: And on the other side, she's fast, she's cool, and she's the element of loyalty. She's Rainbow Dash! *Rainbow Dash appears on the other side of the platform*
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah! Finally time to show you who's boss!
 * Discord: Ready? Set? Fight!
 * Rainbow Dash: Ready! *flies into the air*
 * Black Gem: This is going to be interesting. *flies into the air*
 * Florette: This might be the best flying match yet!
 * General Beet: Both pegasi are fast, agile and strong.
 * Florette: Rainbow Dash might be faster, but Black Gem has a better technique.
 * General Beet: One thing's sure though, and it's that this fight won't be easy for either of them.
 * Captain Red Shell: It was definitely smart for Tommy to pretend he needed to go to the hospital.
 * Blast: Yeah. He'd really need to go to the hospital if he had messed with one of them.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ow...
 * Black Gem: This proves that rainbows are no match for gems.
 * Rainbow Dash: You'll see!
 * Discord: Black Gem wins! *the crowd cheers*
 * Black Gem: Thank you everyone. Now I must get going. I should go rest a bit before the semi-finals.
 * Discord: Of course. *sends Black Gem to the new winners' area, while Rainbow Dash disappears entirely.*
