AZURE: Kyu kyu! SCRATCH: Do I have to...? AZURE: Kyu!!

[Azure began dragging Scratch out of bed.]

SCRATCH: Fine...

[Scratch got up, slowly walking out of the room.]

SCRATCH: Why're we even doing this? SCRATCH: Blue doesn't care... AZURE: Mi... kyu kyu, mimikyu. SCRATCH: I don't need a break! AZURE: ... SCRATCH: I'm fine. COPY: ŏ_ȏ SCRATCH: Oh-! SCRATCH: S- sorry, I didn't see you there... COPY: 0v0; AZURE: Kyu? SCRATCH: Do... you two... wanna get to know eachother? AZURE: Kyu.

[Azure began to drag Scratch along again.]

SCRATCH: Aww... COPY: OnO

[Copy dashed towards them, follwing the two inside the battle room.]

[The room changed in a flash of light, now resembling a grassy field. Relaxing ambience could be heard, though there wasn't a source to the noise.]

COPY: u‿u SCRATCH: Huh... AZURE: Mi? Mimi kyu kyu? SCRATCH: Yeah... this... this is really nice. SCRATCH: ...Thanks for bringing me out here... reminds me a lot of home...

[Scratch layed down in the grass next to Copy.]

[The two of them layed there for a while, listening to the music. Half an hour had passed and]

CRACK.

[A small purple crack appeared in the grass, grabbing the attention of Copy and Azure.]

COPY: ó_ō AZURE: Kyu...

[Azure reached a claw into the purple, causing it to expand rapidly. He fell in, Copy running away. It wasn't fast enough.]

COPY: (O_O)!!

[One left.]

MIMIC: Did you remember to- COPY-CAT: Yes Mimic, yes I did. MIMIC: Cause last time you wanted to bring it somewhere you forgot. COPY-CAT: Well I didn't this time. MIMIC: Okay then.

[Copy-Cat walks out of his room, Blitz waiting impatiently outside.]

BLITZ: Ugh, come on!! BLITZ: I wanna kick some ass already! COPY-CAT: ... BLITZ: What, no response? BLITZ: ...Let's just go, okay? COPY-CAT: Hmpf.

[The two of them walked across the floating island, not talking at all. They arrived at the battle room, Copy-Cat pushing it open.]

COPY-CAT: Let's go.

[Blitz walked inside, Copy-Cat walking behind her. The room changed into a large wooden beam across a deep blue ocean.]

BLITZ: Woah! BLITZ: I'd appreciate some kind of warning next time- BLITZ: Ah!

[Copy-Cat slashed at Blitz with some kind of sword.]

BLITZ: What the- BLITZ: What's your problem!? COPY-CAT: I'm going to win. BLITZ: Uhm, don't you know that the voters usually decide who wins? COPY-CAT: Well then I'm going to have fun taking you to pieces. BLITZ: ...Why? COPY-CAT: Because it sucks to lose!

[Blitz looked at him with a face of confusion and slight offence.]

BLITZ: Mhm. Yeah. BLITZ: Let's fight, I need a punching dummy too.

[Blitz rushed over at Copy-Cat, kicking him off the bar. He reacted quickly, grabbing onto it and flipping back on.]

COPY-CAT: ...

[He jumped at Blitz, slashing at her again. Blitz dodged out of the way each time, just barely though.]

BLITZ: Ugh, can you just stop!? COPY-CAT: I need this! BLITZ: Well so do I!

[Blitz thrusted her leg at Copy-Cat again, smacking one of his swords out into the ocean.]

BLITZ: Hah! COPY-CAT: Augh!

[Copy-Cat punched Blitz high into the air.]

BLITZ: AAAAAAH!! COPY-CAT: Heh... COPY-CAT: HAHAHA! COPY-CAT: That feels so good... ZTARDUZT: Hello. COPY-CAT: Ah!

[The two contestants were being guided towards the battle room by Cy, who was wearing the security outfit. THE LONER was constantly trying to get away, but SILENT WARRIOR was stopping him each time.]

CY: Alright, this is the battle room! CY: Oh! Remember, don't hurt each other! SILENT WARRIOR: v_v THE LONER: oky....

[Cy opened the door for the two of them, watching them enter.]

[Inside was white for a breif moment before changing into a vibrantly dull city. ]

SILENT WARRIOR: 0_0; THE LONER: strreets? THE LONER: i cn deal wiht this

[THE LONER moved into a nearby alleyway, SILENT WARRIOR following.]

THE LONER: lits statr a fire! SILENT WARRIOR: (0m0)

[THE LONER took out a lighter. He couldn't do much with it.]

[The two sat in the alley for a while, doing much of nothing. After a while SILENT WARRIOR left the alleyway, looking around the city. It was loud, cars driving past, people walking and talking...]

SILENT WARRIOR: (o_o);

[It was a lot.]

THE LONER: whny are you so sd? THE LONER: well be abel to leave hrre soon SILENT WARRIOR: ŏmŏ THE LONER: ... ⁞|

[SILENT WARRIOR grabbed it's sword, carving something into the brick wall of the building.]

THE LONER: forrest? SILENT WARRIOR: 0‿0 SILENT WARRIOR: o_ò THE LONER: yu don't lke ther being all this things? SILENT WARRIOR: ^‿^ THE LONER: oh..

[THE LONER stood up before walking down the alley. He climbed up a wall at the end of it, out of sight of SILENT WARRIOR.]

SILENT WARRIOR: (0_0)!!

[SILENT WARRIOR ran over... or... well... you know. It tried to climb the wall but it couldn't reach high enough or get a grip on it.]

SILENT WARRIOR: ómò

[Copy-Cat walked across the remains of the ship, thinking about his next opponent. Someone familiar, someone he fought back in round one, and yet through everything that's been happening they've been changed.]

COPY-CAT: Sigh.

[It's all come down to this penultimate match. If he could win once, he could do it again.]

COPY-CAT: Okay, let's finally settle this.

[Copy-Cat walked to the battle room where his confused friend waits.]

POKÉMAN: Hello, The Inventor. I... hope you can go easy on us... COPY-CAT: Yeah, yeah...

[Copy-Cat pushed the door open, POKÉMAN following him inside.]

[The room was dark, the two of them illuminated in colour. Copy-Cat was red and dressed in his normal outfit, POKÉMAN was yellow and purple, they hadn't had any outfit changes though.]

POKÉMAN: This is strange. COPY-CAT: Mhm.

[Copy-Cat took out a sword and slashed straight through POKÉMAN's chest, though nothing happened.]

POKÉMAN: Ohh... POKÉMAN: That... didn't hurt?

[Inside their body was a mass of darkness, moving around. It began to repair the cut.]

POKÉMAN: I feel strange... COPY-CAT: I...

[Copy-Cat backed away. He didn't know what he was dealing with here.]

POKÉMAN: I thought we were friends...? POKÉMAN: I... thought... I knew who I was...

[POKÉMAN say down on the ground, staring into the empty space around them. The lights on their body began to get weird and shaky.]

POKÉMAN: Why don't I know... COPY-CAT: ...

[Copy-Cat moved over, sitting down next to them.]

COPY-CAT: Is this... okay? POKÉMAN: I don't know... POKÉMAN: Am I okay? COPY-CAT: I don't think you are... POKÉMAN: I'm not. COPY-CAT: Who are you? POKÉMAN: I don't know. POKÉMAN: Do you? COPY-CAT: I... think so. COPY-CAT: You're my friend and... COPY-CAT: I'm sorry for trying to... kill you. POKÉMAN: It's alright. POKÉMAN: I don't feel anything. COPY-CAT: You don't feel who you are. COPY-CAT: You don't feel yourselves? POKÉMAN: No... POKÉMAN: No, I do... POKÉMAN: It's hard to... see who I am through all of these memories... POKÉMAN: I don't think I'm anyone... COPY-CAT: You're someone. COPY-CAT: You're here, talking to me. POKÉMAN: Yes... POKÉMAN: But who am I? COPY-CAT: A friend. POKÉMAN: ... POKÉMAN: I like that... COPY-CAT: Me too... COPY-CAT: I need to try harder to be a friend. POKÉMAN: ... POKÉMAN: Yes... POKÉMAN: I think you should apologise to The Mean Girl. COPY-CAT: How did you know about that? POKÉMAN: A guess... COPY-CAT: Lucky you. POKÉMAN: I'm not lucky... COPY-CAT: I- COPY-CAT: Yeah...

[The two of them sat there for a while, not talking.]

HALLOW: Alright, come on. SCRATCH: I don't wanna... HALLOW: You have to. AZURE: Kyu, kyu! HALLOW: Even he agrees. SCRATCH: Hmpf... SCRATCH: Fine...

[Scratch gets up and follows the others to the battle room.]

SCRATCH: WOAGH-

[She tripped on a large rock, probably displaced by the whole floating island being created thing. She tumbles into the battle room.]

AZURE: KYU!! HALLOW: That's not good. HALLOW: Come on.

[Hallowland readies his bat before walking inside, Azure following behind him.]

[Inside was a large and dark forest, not a sound to be heard.]

HALLOW: Something's wrong. ???: Hehehehehe...

[Something flies past Hallowland. He swings his bat only to find it's been replaced by a wooden stick.]

HALLOW: Of course... AZURE: Kyu? HALLOW: Come at me. ???: Hehehahahaha!

[The flying thing reveals itself...]

SCRATCH: Hello! AZURE: !! HALLOW: What happened? HALLOW: You weren't in here nearly long enough for something like this to happen... SCRATCH: Huh? HALLOW: Something's definitely wrong in here. HALLOW: Wait here. SCRATCH: Wha- SCRATCH: No! SCRATCH: This is my dark spooky forest! SCRATCH: I think?

[A twig snaps.]

HALLOW: Great. HALLOW: Guess he's not given up on the bosses yet. SCRATCH: What are you-

[A gray figure jumps out from the darkness.]

SCRATCH: AH! PLACEHOLDER: ... HALLOW: Go away. PLACEHOLDER: ..... HALLOW: Fine. HALLOW: Guess we're fighting.

[Hallowland takes out the wooden stick, twirling it in his hand. He gets into a fighting stance.]

TRUSTLESS CAT: Ya gonna hurry up? THE AGENT: Don't rush me. TRUSTLESS CAT: Sigh... I'm gonna enjoy this... THE AGENT: There, I'm ready. TRUSTLESS CAT: Great! Let's go!

[TRUSTLESS CAT dragged THE AGENT into the battle room.]

THE AGENT: Hm. It's not-

[The room began to rumble after a minute of nothing. The walls began to change to a purple colour, and a passageway is revealed on the other side of the room.]

TRUSTLESS CAT: Wh- what is this? THE AGENT: Seems straightforward enough to me. THE AGENT: One path forward. THE AGENT: Question is if you're ready to take it. TRUSTLESS CAT: Of course I'm ready to- TRUSTLESS CAT: It's just a doorway! There's nothing special about it!! THE AGENT: You can never be sure.

[TRUSTLESS CAT ran off through the passage, THE AGENT following close behind. On the other side of the passageway was a group of slimes and three more exits, all blocked off.]

TRUSTLESS CAT: A dungeon? TRUSTLESS CAT: Hell yeah! Let's fight! THE AGENT: Wasn't expecting that...

[The two fought their way through tens of rooms, TRUSTLESS CAT laughing ecstaticly the entire time.]

THE AGENT: Do you have to be so brutal? TRUSTLESS CAT: YEAH! TRUSTLESS CAT: Tell me you aren't having fun! THE AGENT: I... guess it is kinda fun, though I do feel bad... TRUSTLESS CAT: Of course.

[The two exited another room of annialated monsters, entering into a large chamber.]

TRUSTLESS CAT: Empty!? TRUSTLESS CAT: Don't go quiet on me now!!

[He was stopped in his tracks by a large stomping noise behind the two.]

THE AGENT: Don't think you should've shouted. TRUSTLESS CAT: Y-yeah.

[The giant monster roared at them.]

THE AGENT: Want some speed? TRUSTLESS CAT: Give me strength. THE AGENT: You want to fight that? THE AGENT: Risky... I like it. THE AGENT: Here.

[THE AGENT gave TRUSTLESS CAT a bottle of orange liquid. He drank it.]

TRUSTLESS CAT: HAHAHA! I'M INVINCABLE! THE AGENT: Let's make this quick.

TRUSTLESS CAT >Attack

THE AGENT >Inspect

SCOAM: What's happening today? Who am I gonna be beating? BLUE?: Do you not read the calendar? BLUE?: Ugh, you're hopeless. BLITZ: Uh, hey, I'm here. SCOAM: You!? SCOAM: Great. BLUE?:What a perfect match! BLUE?: I'm sure you two will be good friends and get along perfectly. SCOAM: Shut it country-face. SCOAM: But I am going to enjoy this... BLITZ: I won't... BLUE?: Well you two should step inside the battle room if you're ready. BLUE?: Emphasis on battle for this match! BLITZ: Uh, yeah, okay. SCOAM: Whatever!

[SCOAM shoves Blitz into the dark room before walking inside himself.]

BLITZ: Hmpf... BLITZ: Hey, why's it so dark? MAIN CHARACTER: Welcome, welcome! SCOAM: Oh hey it's...! SCOAM: You...! BLITZ: That's, uh, Diamond. BLITZ: Lost to Anthen and Med-Kit Diamond. MAIN CHARACTER: Ugh, shut up! MAIN CHARACTER: I'm going to take the two of you out! MAIN CHARACTER: And then everyone will know me! MAIN CHARACTER: And then everyone will love me! MAIN CHARACTER: And I'll win and take home whatever prize he has! SCOAM: Someone has problems. MAIN CHARACTER: Attack them my allies!

[Two figures appear from the darkness, a hat and a metal spike. They both seem less than real. SCOAM pulls out a large knife from seemingly nowhere while Blitz doesn't really know what to do.]

SCOAM: Come and get some of this! SPIKE: Whatever you say... BLITZ: Ah! BLITZ: This isn't fair! MAIN CHARACTER: Didn't SCOAM help you with Florida? MAIN CHARACTER: I wouldn't call that fair either. SCOAM: He's got a point...

[SCOAM was easily fighting off Spike, Blitz barely dodging Hat's attacks.]

HAT: You're fast! MAIN CHARACTER: Spike, get here!

[MAIN CHARACTER grabbed Spike, putting her on top of a wooden pole.]

MAIN CHARACTER: Now we can really get this fight done! SCOAM: Such poor craftsmanship! SCOAM: I'd never settle for something like that. MAIN CHARACTER: Ugh!

[MAIN CHARACTER smacked SCOAM with the makeshift weapon.]

MAIN CHARACTER: Not so poor now, is it? BLITZ: Hya!

[Blitz kicks MAIN CHARACTER before running away again, Hat continuing to chase her.]
