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.''
 * 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.
