Krystal gasped at the attack, knowing this isn't an arena gimmick; she quickly grabbed her staff and ran down the stairs. "This evil force...I have to do something!" After the smoke around the figure began to clear, he rose up coughing the smoke out of his little lungs. "*cough* *cough* *cough*...ETNA YOU LITTLE....when I get back I'm gonna kill you, bring you back to life and kill you again; Son of a..." My goodness...it couldn't be...yes unfortunately it is, the evil Overlord from the Netherworld, Laharl has shown up. After his ranting he looked around the stadium. "Alright so where did I end up this time, doesn't look like that weird ghostly world again..." He crossed his arms looking around at the shocks audience.

Recovering back to his feet, Sonic found the cause of that explosion. It looked like a kid with red eyes that can give Shadow a run for his money. The boy had blue hair with...some kind of cow-lick as long as the Special Zone half-pipe highway. He also had some red raggy scarf, and matching shorts and shoes. And he lacked a shirt, showing his bare skinny body. "Hey Bunny-ears! Wanna wait your turn? I was busy kicking Jumpman's butt!" Running down the stairs, May, who already returned her Glaceon in her poke-ball, was hurrying over to the edge of the audience arena. Though this may not be her business, but after she dealt with Team Aqua and Magma in the past, May wasn't worried about getting hurt from people like that blue-haired guy. Besides, she has some powerful Pok?mon on her side. She noticed some blue fox girl running down the stairs. With that staff on her, it looks like she could be a Smasher too, and was concerned about what was happening. Too bad she won't get to ring over that huge pit. But not to worry... Whipping out another poke-ball, she fired a beam at her Lairon, who was following her, recalling him back in his ball. As for Blaziken who was running beside her. "Blaz! Let's go!" she said, pointing at Krystal. "Blaz!!" grabbing her trainer, the fighting bird dashed up to Krystal and scooped her up before leaping high toward the field.

Mario stared blankly at the newcommer, quite unsure what to say. This certainly wasn't someone he had met before, but... Something just didn't seem right about him. He seemed to almost... give off the same vibe as Sonic and Snake did. ... Was this guy also a stranger to This World? Mario wasn't one to judge based on appearances, but if the red eyes, sinister glare, and bishi odd hairstyle were any indication, this person probably wasn't a good guy. "Careful, Sonic..." Mario muttered as he moved towards the hedgehog, keeping his eyes firmly on the dark character, "Something tells-a me that this-a guy isn't here for the competition."

Before the fox was about leap over the dangerous pit, she found herself taken by surprise as Blaziken took her leaping up. "W.wha?!" She looked at him then to May, she then realized if she had jumped to the battlefield she might not have gotten too far. "Thank you...he won't drop me right?" The tiny Overlord looked around, seeing the blue porcupine thing, and the mustachioed man in red; he turned to the blue blur pointing at him in rage. "Bunny ears, oh your gonna wish you hadn't had said that ya blue, spiky freak?!" He ran at Sonic punching at him like Little Mac at the poor unexpected boxers.

[dice=6] "Whoa!" Again, Sonic was too careless to even watch, but he managed to back-flip away from the angry boy right at the last second. "Looks like someone can't take a joke." The girl grinned at the fox on the other arm of her Pokémon. " SHE'S got a good grip; don't worry." "Ken!" the fighter nodded before she made hammering landing in the middle of the field; a small crater was made on the spot she landed. The fire/fighting type carefully set May and Krystal on their feet. Sonic quickly glanced at the girls behind him before focusing on the strange boy. "You girls may want to step back. He's gonna make this messy from the looks of his bunny-ears." "We can take him!" tossing two poke-balls, her Lairon and Glaceon were released, already on guard. "I ain't some girl." "Oh boy..." He really didn't want to worry about some damsels while he's facing an unknown creep. Those creatures by the girl's side look like they're useful, and maybe the fox girl too, but it's the human girl he's worried about.[rand=72524133704051731569535527781491537317669977197328329797309950817]

Seeing the stranger take a shot at Sonic only confirmed Mario's suspicions that this guy was up to no good. He smiled and nodded in acknowledgment at the vixen and the Pok?mon trainer before turning back to Laharl, getting into a fighting position. "Okay... Who are you?" Mario demanded, "Another one of Tabuu's minions?" Again, the crowd gasped, mostly at the possiblity that this just might have been the begining of another Subspace attack. Afterwards, though, they were deathly still, waiting for the newcommer's reply.

Krystal looked at Sonic with an annoyed look. "I'm not the type to sit idly by as something like this is happening." The female furry looked at Laharl getting ready to support the fighters. Tabuu? The name was unfamiliar to the little Overlord...however he does NOT take orders from anyone, its not part of his job description. With an evil smirk at Mario, Laharl said. "Ha I work for no one, especially this Tabuu dude. Listen up you lowly morons, I am the great Laharl; supreme and ultimate Overlord! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" He threw his head back and commenced the evil laugh moment...kinda scary yet creepy. The vixen looked at Laharl with an awkward eye, this boy isn't as devastating as she thought. "This...is quite odd."

There was a huge sigh of relief (and even a bit of nervous laughter) from the crowd after Laharl mentioned his motives. It wasn't that they doubted his strength, or even that he may have actually been an "Overlord", but for them, anything was preferable to the Subspace Army. Mario was also relieved, but he continued to keep his guard up. Just because this "Ultimate Overlord" looked like a little kid running around in nothing but a pair of pants and a scarf didn't mean he was going to be a pushover. He learned that after fighting Ness for the first time. Regardless, Mario kept silent, waiting for Laharl to make the first move.

They were sighing, what the heck was going on? Laharl looked around annoyed at the crowd. "Oh....so I'm not a threat to you all, FINE ill show you fools my true power!!!" The Overlord held out hand out to the sky. "ALRIGHT, come Almighty comet and crush these fools...Meteor Impact!"...an awkward silence entered the arena as nothing happened, Laharl stood there looking at the sky like an idiot. "Huh...wheres the giant meteor?" Krystal stood there looking at Laharl like he was crazy...and he is. She sighed in relief. "Well at least hes not a threat." Laharl looked at his hand and realized to himself. 'Wait a minute...why am i suddenly 100 time weaker now?!'

And a faceplam, the hedgehog did. This was down right pointless; he makes Eggman's Badniks seem threatening in comparison. Heck, he makes Cream look threatening, no offense to her. Sonic just doesn't know what to do with this clown now; he just doesn't have the heart to make any actions that involves kicking this guy out HARD so he can finish his match. "Yeah, well it's kinda anti-climatic." May sighed in response from Krystal; dropping her arms in disappointment. She was almost embarrassed that she got all worked up for nothing. And cue the laughter from the audience.

Even the normally stoic Mario couldn't help but laugh at this. "Heh heh... You might-a wanna try grabbing a Smash Ball first, kid," the plumber chuckled. Mario casually looked back to the sky and quickly stopped laughing. The clouds that were covering the sky (along with the portal Laharl came through) were now gone, the star-filled sky back once more. However, there seemed to be more stars in the sky than normal. In some ways, it made the night sky look even more beautiful than usual, but it still bugged Mario: Where did these new stars come from? And for that matter, they didn't really look like normal stars either... And they seemed to be glowing brighter and brighter... Mario may have not been able to figure it out, but he would soon learn that this was a sign that This World was about to be changed... Forever.

Laharl looked really ticked off by all the laughter and such...so much that he decided to stop acting like a fool, with a calm smirk to Sonic he simply said. "Fine...I don't need all my huge moves to take you on blue boy!" Just like that Laharl ran at Sonic reaching into his scarf, and pulling out a large blunt broadsword swinging it at Sonic hard. "Taste the wrath of Laharl!" [dice=6][rand=8173625822514006961111766004260710337209017087234341783548062648]

[dice=6] The second the sword came up to Sonic's head, the hedgehog suddenly swooshed away. And already Sonic was behind the boy, with his arms crossed and his foot tapping the floor. "Okay! I'm waiting for the wrath of Lame-arl." That gave May the cue to act, "Glaceon, Icy Wind!! Go!!!" "GLA!!" the ice Pokémon cried as her eyes sparked with blue light. Inhaling air, the ice type blew a snowy gust at the sword-wielder. [dice=6] "Whoa," Sonic went before he zipped away from the snow that made way for the boy. He suddenly materialized next to May, "A warning next time!" Before he dashed off. "Uh...sorry." she sheepishly muttered, rubbing her head.

Mario's attention shifted away from the sky as he saw Laharl take a strike at Sonic. That did it: whoever this guy was, he needed to be stopped before he did some serious damage. After seeing Glaceon let out an icy blast of air, Mario decided to join in with its elemental opposite and threw three fireballs at the puny Overlord.
