| The Six Competitors |
| Every four years, a tournament is held to display great shows of power. This Tournament is known as the Tournament of Heroes. Though some think this is a pointless tournament that only helps people to get hurt, others find this like the Olympics and gather to watch. Which brings us to…now. -------------------------------------------------- A private plane is seen in the skies. Inside is Axem Cobalt. She peers down, searching frantically. COBALT: Taking this thing is such a bother…There’s no where to park! She quickly decides to nosedive into a crowded parking lot, annihilating two cars off the face of the earth, leaving several Audience Members in pain. AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Within the screams of terror) AAH! MY NEW VOLKSWAGON! COBALT: Whoops. Cobalt escapes the wreckage, whistling as though she’d never seen the plane in her life. After going through the parking lots, Cobalt makes it to the main gates. She sets off the metal detectors on the way in. GUARD: (thinking) Oh, it’s another Axem. I guess I can let her through… The guard goes back to playing Super Mario RPG. She meets up with JKI, Axem Midnight Blue, Axem Snow, Axem Strife, and Axem Titanium. They’ve been waiting for her…For the past two hours or so. MIDNIGHT BLUE: You are late…I hate you for that. COBALT: Sorry, traffic. STRIFE: What traffic?! You took a private jet! COBALT: Er… TITANIUM: (Not listening) Hey! Let’s go sign up for the tournament! SNOW: (Also not listening) Okay with me! They go to the back of the line for the tournament sign-ups. Two muscular looking men standing in front of them look like they’ll wet themselves any second due to their presence. BIG GUY: (Nudging his friend) Yo! Aren’t those five Axems and that other one a Jr. Koopa? STRONG DUDE: Hey! You’re right! Big Guy starts to think about their odds of winning. BIG GUY: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? STRONG DUDE: I think so, but where would we find a giant cheese ball? BIG GUY: No not that. I think we have no chance of winning. We might as well get out of line. STRONG DUDE: (In a whiny tone) But I want a giant cheese ball! The two morons leave the line. -------------------------------------------------- Seconds later… The only ones left are the six main characters. I mean, would YOU like to be beat up someone who’ll probably smash your face in? :) MIDNIGHT BLUE: Cowards… They jump to the front of the line. Snow decides to go first. SNOW: Put me down as Axem Snow. EMPLOYEE: Wait a second…You’re not supposed to bring that to use in the competition! Neither are any of your buddies in line! The employee points at Snow’s axe. JKI: What do you mean? It says in the official rules you may use weapons, as long as you were born with them. VOICE: Let them through, Larry. The six turn around to see none other than (Chuck) Jamey, the referee of the tournament. LARRY: (Signing them up) Fine, fine…Alright, the adult division of the Tournament of Heroes starts at 9:00 PM sharp. Don’t be late. You may stay to watch the Junior Division, starting in about half an hour. STRIFE: Cool! Let’s go see it! MIDNIGHT BLUE: Fine. Let’s hope these runts can actually fight…Since I’m probably paying for this. TITANIUM: Whatever. I just want to see the arena before our battles. They purchase tickets for the Junior Division and sit in the front row bleachers. Jamey conveniently appears at that very moment. JAMEY: Ladies and gentlemen! Before we get on with our matches, I’d like to introduce some very special guests we have today! He points to the VIP seats. JAMEY: For some unneeded episodes later on, we are treated by some celebrity appearances! Please welcome Princess Peach and Mario! The Audience applauds as Peach and Mario wave. AUDIENCE: Applaud! COBALT: Am I really saying that? JAMEY: But most of all, I’d like to introduce our tournament president, Axem Fast! Axem Fast stands up within the VIP microphone in hand. The audience by now is completely silent. After a long pause, Axem Fast finally speaks. FAST: Axem Fast says “Cool.” 8-) AUDIENCE: (Confused) Applauding still! JAMEY: It’s time for our first match-up! 8-year-old Tiny Tim goes against 7-year-old Monty! They both step on opposite ends of a stone platform, which seems to be the arena. JAMEY: Let the start of this tournament commence…With this! He runs over and hits a switch on the side of a brick building. To everyone’s surprise, the platform starts to hover six feet from the grass around it. JAMEY: Ready…FIGHT! Jamey crosses his arms as he says “FIGHT!” like one of those Judges on Zoids. JAMEY: (Thinking) Man, I’ve always wanted to do that…I’m so cool… :) A bottle hits Jamey in the back of the head, bring him back to the real world. JAMEY: Watch where you’re chucking bottles! You could’ve aimed better than THAT! AUDIENCE: This fight blows! JAMEY: Wha-? Jamey looks in the ring to see Monty bursting with tears. MONTY: NOOOO! I’M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!!! I GIVE UP, SO JUST LET ME DOWN! The stadium starts to lower back down to the ground. Monty stops crying. JAMEY: …The match goes to Tiny Tim! -------------------------------------------------- =In the stands, Midnight Blue slaps his hand to his forehead. MIDNIGHT BLUE: (thinking) Three hundred dollars, down the drain… END OF EPISODE ONE |
