"Ready....begin!" Tryn said, sitting down on the grass
"I need some water before the semi-final" He told a assistant.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

It seemed that WombatMan wasn't one to go easy on fresh acquaintances, so he wouldn't have to worry about going all out on him, although the "slice 'n dice, snap 'n trap" right before a net battle was a little unnerving.

The signal was given to begin, and Spectro became a blur, setting up dummies all over the arena, all made rouhly in his likeness.

[Solar]

"So my opponent is finally here..." said MK while his helmet and sword appeared.

"Alright, time to do this."

[Mirby]

"Let's try refraining from modes, okay?" Taylor said.

"Fine. You'd better operate quickly!"

"Oh, I will..."

"RAPID CLAW!" WombatMan leaped forward and slashed as rapidly as possible, and then leaped out of the way of close range attacks.

"SONIC SLASH!" He threw slash attacks at all the dummies set around the stage. shredding them all.

[Hey! 3000th Post!]

[Black Mage J]

Tryn started up the video program, recording the fights.
The fights were then broadcasted on the website for all to see, the overpriced Net Coffee selling like crazy.
Tryn looked over at the girl, she was the one with the dad, right? Ah well, she's nothing more than a kid, he'd be surprised if she made it past this stage, then again, the opponent had no operator, which is like fighting with only one hand. This could prove interesting, he thought.
[Happy 3000 post, Mirby!]

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

As soon as his dummies were set up, the had all been cut down. Spectro was waiting at a corner, and gasped at the revelation. He aimed at WombatMan and fired a flash bomb. The bomb went off with a bright light and ran toward his opponent.

[Mirby]

"This could be messy..." WombatMan jumped into the air and used his Sonic Slash to destroy the bomb. He shut his eyes as the bomb went off so he wouldn't be blinded, and fired a GigaCannon at Spectro.

[Sapphire Knight]

"Zehahaha! Soon, it will be our turn!" Chainsawman shouted once the match-ups have been registered.

"Who do ya suppose this Toraku guy is?" Sean asked, thinking.

"Who cares? I just hope Wombatman lasts long enough for me to take him on again!"

[Black Mage J]

"I am right here" Said a man with sword and shield, a black suit and looking like a dark side of Crusader.
"Heheh, lets begin" He summoned cannons, shooting at Chainsawman.

[Sapphire Knight]

"Sonova-" Chainsawman instinctively rose his weapon to try to block the attack.

"IronShld, Battle Chip in!" Sean said, slotting in the chip.

A barrier formed in front of Chainsawman and blocked the attack. "Tch. That was close..." He sighed, the barrier vanishing.

"Next. RingZap3, Battle Chip in!" Sean said, slotting another chip in.

"Zehaha! Eat this!" Chainsawman shouted, launching the attack at his opponent.

[Black Mage J]

"Fool!" He raised his shield quickly, deflecting the attack. "A paralyzed arm is better than being paralyzed all over" He swung with lightning fast speed with his sword as he made his foe go defense. "Hahahah! Dodge dodge dodge!"

[Sapphire Knight]

Chainsawman simply rose his weaponless arm to catch his opponent's weapon with his armor. The sword went a little ways in and stopped. He assumed it got stuck. "Zeheha! Now you'll either have to let go of your sword or get hit!" He growled, swinging his chainsaw vertically.

[Black Mage J]

"Oh don't be silly!" He said as his arm was slashed. The sword turned into a flame sword, burning into Chainsawman's armor.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

The blinding light had dissipated, and Spectro saw that a Giga Cannon was aimed straight at his face. Before he could do anything, it was fired, and Spectro took the brunt of the attack. He was knocked back a considerable distance, but had managed to fire a few missiles at WombatMan before landing face down on the floor. He got up and immediately started to zip around the battlefield again, this time, planting a few mines.

Spectro may not have been the most skilled of battlers, but he was unusually resilient. Being shot in the face may have knocked him back, but would do little to damage him.

[Mirby]

"WombatMan, that didn't do much damage to him..."

"I can tell, hold on!" With great agility, he dodged the missiles, and used his namesake's penchant for burrowing underground. In his tunneling, he found a few mines and destroyed them. "Where is he?"

"He's... above you!"

"Got it!" Taylor scanned in a GoldFist chip, and it gave WombatMan the force of that punch as he shot out of the ground and nailed Spectro. "This is fun!" he roared. He jumped back out of the way and landed on a mine he missed. He flew back a few feet, and regained his balance. He prepped for the next attack.

[Sapphire Knight]

Chainsawman swerved and kicked at his opponent to knock the sword out of his armor and send the opposing navi a small distance away from him.

"I enhanced your armor a little since your encounter with Wombatman, he was breaking it away far too easily." Sean said, getting two more chips ready: an offensive chip and a defensive chip.

"Thanks. My arm may have been cut off if you didn't."

[Black Mage J]

Toraku flew back, landing on his hands and backflipping back. Toraku inserted hero sword,his blade changing into it.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Spectro thought that he had gotten WombatMan with his missiles, but as soon as the smoke cleared, the navi was nowhere in sight. Then,  WombatMan came from the ground and struck him under. Spectro went flying upward, and WombatMan had landed on a mine in the meantime.

"Ha ha! I got ya! I GOT--"

Spectro landed on his back with a loud thud. He got back up on his feet and fired another flash bomb. This time, he followed it with an energy bomb.

--------------------

Meanwhile, Rankine and Crux got ready for their battle.

"Wow, I guess he ain't called the mirror knight for nothing." Crux rubbed his chin. "You know, something about this Mirror Knight is making me anxious."

"The mirrors?"

"Yeah. I'm afraid that the mirrors might involve reflecting attacks back to his opponent."

"We'll figure something out. Mirrors can't reflect everything."

[Mirby]

"This is not good... he's tough..." WombatMan said, panting.

"Hmm... I just got an idea..." Taylor said, scanning in a few chips.

WombatMan used them to destroy the flash bomb, and was hit in the gut by the energy bomb. "Oof! Well, tell me what it is!"

She scanned in a Recov300. "You know how you burrow?"

"Yeah, by spinning into the ground like a drill!"

"Well... try that through the air!"

"Good idea!" He started spinning as fast as he could, and launched himself at Spectro. Taylor scanned in another GoldFist chip for extra force, and he shot towards the foe like a speeding bullet!

[Solar]

Meanwhile, Rankine and Crux got ready for their battle.

"Wow, I guess he ain't called the mirror knight for nothing." Crux rubbed his chin. "You know, something about this Mirror Knight is making me anxious."

"The mirrors?"

"Yeah. I'm afraid that the mirrors might involve reflecting attacks back to his opponent."

"We'll figure something out. Mirrors can't reflect everything."

"Heh, they're not just good for reflecting. Show them MK."

"With pleasure," as he said that with a grin on his face, MK started rushing toward his opponent and slashed, but when he was about to make contact he disappeared since it was just an illusion, the real one had teleported behind to attack while the illusion distracted Crux.

[ST Jestah]

"You ready for the fight, SheepMan." Kevin asked with great enthusiasm.

""Kay. Let's show dis guys how a Baaad a Sheep can be!"

"That was...really bad, SheepMan."

"Eh, I wasn't much of a comedian navi anyway"

"SheepMan.exe, Jack in!" Shouted the child as he inserted the adapter cable to the arena's port.

In the terminal's cyber space, appeared a petit, puffy cloud just floating lazily in place.
Soon, the cloud sprouted four lightning rods from its stop. Two curved horns emerged from its side and two battery like limbs came out from withing the cloud. From the front, a hole was made, where two blue glowing eyes could be seen, and on its "forehead" was the navi's insignia.

"'Kay. I'm ready to teach dis Rocket Guy a lesson or two on Net Battling. Where is he!?"

Back in the trash can...

"Ah, the kids gonna start a match. You ready to do some research, ScopeMan?" Aroki asked his more serious counterpart.

"As always, Mr. Steel"

Aroki took out a specialized P.E.T. that resembled a gun, and pointed it towards the arena terminal where Kevin was about to start his match.

"Activating cloaking device"

"Preparing Ghost Mode"

"ScopeMan, Research routine, Set!"

"Analization, Commence!"

The P.E.T. sent out a small almosy unnoticeable wave lenght towards the arena.

Inside the cyber arena, there was a slight disturbance in the space. A silhoutte appeared, far away from the two navies.

"...Let Analizing, begin." Said a voice as low as it could.    

[Black Mage J]

"Why I'm right here!" Said a blue little knight with a rocket attached to his back (REFERENCES!!!) and a small glowing blue sword, his helmet seemed the shape of a type of marsupial. He flew towards his target, glowing from both ends "RRRROOOOCKEEET GOOOO!"

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

The light from the flash bomb faded, and WombatMan came spinning at Spectro at an astronomical speed. He took a direct hit to the gut, and was knocked back with a rapid spin. He rolled to a stop on the floor.

"Oh, god... I feel... URK."

Spectro got up on his feet, barely able to maintain his footing. He started to stumble around and began to fire a laser in circles. "THIS IS FUUUUUUN!"

--------------------

Mirror Knight charged at Crux. Immediately, Crux shot out vines from his arm to restrain him, but he disappeared. "What the?"

"Crux, he must be coming in from another direction. Duck!"

Crux fell to the floor and rolled off to the side, just in case Mirror Knight was coming from above.

[Solar]

"What use is ducking when the attack is coming from behind?" said Tai in a mocking manner while MK slashed vertically.

[ST Jestah]

"BAAAH!" Shouted SheepMan as he barely dodged the attack.

"That was close."

"Wow, his fast SheepMan...and he looks a bit familiar?" Kevin said, even though he was pribably too young to actually remember this parody of a character.

"Take dis!" SheepMan shout out two balls of electricity at the jetting marsupial. Both which zig zagged  parrarel to each other.

"And now..." Sheep Man hid inside his puffy body, and waited for the next attack.
