Time. Moments of our lives, stretching out towards the vastness of infinity. Through time, memories are formed and become legend. From these legends arises a spirit – a will all its own. And tonight, that will is exerted on the universe itself. Welcome... TO THE GAUNTLET RUMBLE! The lights in the Glitz Pit turn on, revealing the whole shebang. It's a massive arena-style stadium, featuring a sizeable stage at each end – complete with a Titantron screen installation for the display of video footage and additional LED areas to complete the atmosphere for every competitor's entrance. This is connected to the ramps – a not-terribly long pair of paths used to walk to the ring, one on each side. As well there is a sea of seating, with the further away seats elevated above the closer ones so everyone can get a great look at the action. Speaking of everyone, I do mean everyone! It's a packed house at the flying city's signature building, with the crowd composed of as diverse an array as there has been for one of these. Aside from plenty of humans, there are Toads, Troopa species, Hyrule natives, ghosts, aliens, monsters, cross-dimensional beings, possible beings, impossible beings, and maybe some omnipossible beings. We'll have to see. At the center of it all is the ring – a larger unit than the ones used in wrestling and boxing matches, to accommodate the size of all possible competitors. In addition to it's size, it's both sturdy looking and draped in a ring apron – on it, the words “Death Gauntlet” are printed once on each side. The entire scene is bathed in dynamic, ceiling mounted lighting, the system responsible for which could very well be used to contact other forms of life, Close Encounters-style.
(“There's gonna be a fight tonight!”)It's a hell of an arena, mostly symmetrical and awesome. And by ringside are a small variety of tables, with well-dressed people sitting at each. It's the announce tables, and they are sorted by language. There are English, Chinese, Spanish, and Simlish announcers at ringside, with plenty more in the back – the Pit is broadcast in many dimensions for beautiful (and ugly) people to enjoy. But perhaps the most relevant to you, the readers, is the English Announce Team. The older man speaks first. “Hello everyone, I'm Mauro Ronallo, and with me for this historic event is the Preppy Powerhouse, the man himself, Sebastian Howard!” “Hey fight fans, I can't tell you how excited I am for this evening! As the owner-slash-commentator for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, I've seen some incredible matches, but this is a brand new entertainment experience the likes of which I have never seen!” “Right you are, 'Bash'! And you can tell just from the atmosphere in the building that the fans are ready! Let's throw over to our talented and experienced hostess with the mostess, Koto!” The cute and perky fox-girl rolls quickly into the ring, and begins yelling into the microphone. “The following contest is a Gauntlet Rumble match! The two challengers that drew numbers one and two will make their way into the ring and start the match at the same time. The remaining competitors will enter the ring in the order of the numbers that the drew. This will continue until all challengers have entered the ring! An elimination occurs when you are thrown over the top rope, with both feet landing on the ground or walls, or when you are launched straight out of the arena!” The crowd cheers for that last bit. "The last one in the ring will be declared the winner, and new Vitcon Champion!” After a quick hand-on-hip pose, she then excited the ring, and it gets much quieter in the Pit as everyone wonders who number 1 will be. |

After momentary uncertainty thanks to the intro, the crowd erupts into applause and happy cheers! That's Sonic's theme song, Live and Learn, and they're well familiar with it! But even as the lyrics begin, there is no challenger to be found, and the Titantron is showing nothing but a night sky view. That is, until the glamorous Glitz City is revealed from behind a cloud! It's a pretty view of bright lights, a big city, and bigger stadium, but that doesn't entirely explain Sonic's abscence. But one thing is certain: the camera is bearing straight down on the Pit! [“Mauro, is this what I think it is?” asks Bash in an excited voice.] When the camera launches off its previous path and down to street level, it seems the announcer's theory is confirmed. The source of the feed on both of the big screens is barreling straight through the doors, and then the lobby! Excited voices from in there reach the main arena floor, and soon the titantron feeds end, because Sonic himself bursts through the crowd doors and hauls down the stairs towards ringside! Those fast enough to extend their hands are treated to super-fast high fives as the fastest and coolest hedgehog in history rockets over the barricade, ringside area and the ropes, sending himself directly into the ring! (“Hold on to what if! Hold on to what if! Live and Learn...”)Sonic poses confidently with his fist in the air as his theme trails off and he prepares for number two to make their entrance. (“Oh, Glitz Pit! Don't you dare be sour! Clap for The New Day and feel the powah!”)Once again, the crowd is exceptionally pleased, since everyone loves the New Day! They do indeed clap along to the song as best they can, and as they do, the entire three man posse makes their way down the 'Blue' ramp. On foot? Hell no, all three members of the New Day are happy to be strutting their asses out atop Yoshis! To keep them loyal, each of them has a plate full of delicious pancakes at the ready, and as they make their way down the ramp, they toss a few. The Yoshis happily and easily use their prehensile tongues to catch the cakes, and soon they're close enough that the goony Xavier Woods whips out a microphone. “Sonic, it is just peachy to see you here!” The others agree! “First off, little belated congratulations on Sonic Mania!” “And Sonic Mania Plus! We love it, my kids love it, everyone loves it!” chimes in the ever-charming Kofi Kingston. “You're looking a little modern there tonight, but that's okay! The New Day appreciates all!” The jovial and burly Big E Langston adds this. Xavier continues, “And respects all! So even though you drew number one, and that means you're supposed to fight number two...” “Which is me.” Big E confirmed. “...We thought we'd go ahead and offer you another choice.” As Xavier concludes, Kofi pulls a New Day armband off his own arm and hands it to Big E. As the solid man enters the ring, he offers it straight to Sonic the Hedgehog! [Mauro sounds stunned as he comments, “Are they trying to offer Sonic some kind of alliance?!”] DINGDINGDING That's the bell, and that means it's on! Big E holds out the armband, waiting to see what Sonic's response will be. Will this rumble begin with violence, or weird deals?! I can't wait to see!
(OOC: These 3 men, in order from left to right, are Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston)

The experienced speedster wore a blank expression as he approaches Big E uncharacteristically slowly. While his walking speed is low, his arm moves quickly in one upward motion. The armband, instead of being accepted, is thrown into the air straight up. While the crowd lets out a collective sigh of disappointment and Big E pulls back into a defensive stance warily, Sonic wags his finger coyly. The professional wrestling star isn't quite sure what to make of that, but relaxes a bit. Sonic points toward the ceiling, his signature smirk taking over his face. E, for his part, starts silently gyrating his hips a bit, which Sonic emulates. The two have a good old fashioned standoff, hips-a-swingin' like they were Elvis belting out a new tune. [“I don't get it, Mauro.” “Neither do I! No rumble has ever started quite like this.”] As they're gyrating, the New Day arm accessory finally comes down from its arc. Instead of ignoring or batting it away, Sonic thrusts his arm straight through, adjusting it for just the right fit afterwards! Both Big E and his partners watching on the outside are ecstatic, and they dance with enthusiasm! As for fan reaction? Well by Jove they're actually really keen on it! It's been a long time since the New Day got a new member, even if it's not clear how long the alliance is meant to last. When Kofi points to the biggest speakers in the room, the AV office gets the idea and once again the New Day's entrance theme is played. “Man, I do not like the next guy's odds,” Big E says quietly to Sonic as all of them dance their booties off. “Better be Superman or someone like that, or they're about to get dumped out! Because...” The Titantron begins to display a countdown from 10, and the crowd counts along with it. “10! 9! 8...” Sonic and the others ignore this, and begin a chant of their own. “New! Day Rocks! New! Day Rocks!” It's accompanied by Xavier playing a sour note on his trombone alongside each word, but soon it reaches “3... 2... 1...” and the buzzer plays.
The Titantron displays a sunrise over a small town, with the word “Ness” appearing on it around 7 seconds into this happy tune! Cheers of both surprise and excitement accompany an extremely young man in a hat and striped shirt as he walks out on the red side stage. Now that is definitely a child! Big E is already cracking his knuckles and smiling at Sonic, but the kid has a damn bat with him.

Big E and Sonic stand together confidently smiling at one another in the ring as Ness walks down the ramp at a leisurely pace. As a smart child, he's clearly not in any rush to head in and compete with two grown-ass men. Instead, he takes the opportunity to build a little bit of a connection with the fans, slapping hands with a few of them on his left side. It might be a little bit of a cheap tactic, but it's one that's been effective for decades and probably longer than that and which doesn't appear to be going out of fashion anytime soon. However, one can only stall for so long, and once Ness is past the ramp and in the ringside area, he holds up his left hand and clenches it into a fist. [“Ness has just applied a shield to himself, Pit fans!” “But what kind? Doesn't his Shield just absorb projectiles?” “Tough to tell, that kind of technique isn't exactly in my field of expertise!” A third voice joins the two guys on commentary, this one accented kind of like a valley girl. “C'mon guys, that's Shield Alpha! There's nothing special at all about what he's doing – it's just a boring physical shield! Gee Ness, use something flashy, why doncha?!” “A fair assessment from our esteemed guest! That's right folks - we've been joined by the lovely and knowledgeable Goombella!”] Unfortunately, the situation Ness is finding himself in after climbing into the ring isn't lovely at all. Sonic and his hefty co-fighter take no time at all to flank the poor child, with Sonic in particular going in for quick hand strikes. Ness isn't exactly used to tanking body shots, but the shield seems to prevent him from taking the brunt of the damage. Big E, on the other hand, is going for more clubbing blows – he takes his time and gives Ness a punch to the face each time he sees that Sonic has him off balance. It's a little uncomfortable to watch thanks to Ness's youth and small size, but the fans can't help but “ooh” each time the boy takes an especially hard hit. Xavier Woods starts slapping the mat, cheering for his friends to take the win, but the psychic teen is more concerned with other things; mostly his blurry white shield, which cracks and abates under their abuse. In response. Ness tries to use his bat to get Sonic off of him, but the Blue Blur was prepared for exactly that tactic. He uses his speed and surprising arm strength to rip the bat out of Ness's hands, which the fans yell unhappily about. “Don't you know you aren't supposed to play with bats that way? Stick with actual baseball instead of trying to use it as a dangerous weapon, kid!” says Sonic as he holds it away from Ness while the boy tries to get it back.
The countdown begins once again and the fans count along. “10! 9! 8! 7! 6!”
As it continues, Big E takes advantage of Ness's distraction and unarmed state to glom him on the back of the head, sending the RPG hero to the mat with a thud. “5! 4! 3! 2! 1!”
The crowd initially reacts loudly, with cries of “SIMON!” resounding throughout the arena. The Titantron confirms that this is not correct, as it displays nothing but a black screen and the word “Mike” in Times New Roman font. Yes folks, it's the generic wonder himself, Vitcon's very own sword swinging Mike! The reaction once they've realized this is kind of mediocre, but still positive. Mike may not have that many distinct traits, but that won't stop him from going hard in the paint!

Even though Mike isn't getting the most receptive reaction to his simple entrance, he's not even a little dismayed. He's not here to please the crowd – he's here to win! But right now, he's taking his time and making sure he's ready before he heads in. As he makes a choice of what spell to use, Sonic and Big E speak quietly to one another, and to the other members of the New Day. Coming to some kind of an agreement, the slimbois Kofi and Xavier Woods take a walk over to the end of the ramp. They don't go after Mike or anything, just sort of chill out and wait to see what he does. Fortunately, competitor number 4 is in no hurry to get to the ring – he's got other plans. Supernatural ones, at that. Back inside the ring, Big E and Sonic come to an agreement as to strategy. Not a moment too soon, either. They've got Ness in a bad position and before he can properly get back to his feet, they decide to take full advantage instead of half advantage. Sonic grabs him by the wrist and irish whips him over to the big man, who takes the stumbling boy into his arms and throws him onto his beefy shoulder. Ness wordlessly protests, grunting and frantically trying to shuffle off but not having much success. [“Big E's going for his finishing move, the Big Ending! This could be lights out for Ness!” yells an excited Mauro.] Mike looks into the ring, but even watching the scene currently playing out does little to speed up his path. Instead, he continues to assess what kind of magic he wants to open with and watches as Sonic finally makes use of his weapon – a Spring ready for action at practically all times! With all due speed, he launches himself towards the ceiling! The crowd is quite impressed as Sonic smoothly descends downward, delivering an arm smash to Ness's back in coordination with Big E jumping to a sitting position to smash Ness into his arm and the mat. It's a crushing combination quite similar to the New Day's Midnight Hour, and Ness eats every bite of it! It's an uphill battle for the outnumbered boy, who is flat on the mat. He yells “PK Lifeup!” once and then a second time before groaning out of frustration. Big E shares a smile with Sonic and the two pick up the chubby kid and move to toss him. As he's being grappled he yells “PK Fire!”, with a hand directed at each of his opponents, but once again it just isn't happening! The psychic boy is thrown over the top rope and lands in front of the commentary. [Goombella sounds a bit cross as she yells, “Nessssss! What are you doing? He's supposed to be one of the strongest people in this!” “Just goes to show you that anything can happen in the Gauntlet!” adds Bash.] “10! 9!....” As the time comes for the next entrant to enter the scene, Kofi and Xavier stop screwing around and leave Mike alone. The latter finally decides what his loadout will be. He heads in with a bright golden-white glow on his left hand and his sword in his right. Mike makes his way over to the stairs and ascends into the ring that way. It's safe, traditional and average – his specialty. “...3! 2! 1!”
However, entrant number 5's specialty is a little different, and some pink pyrotechnics are fired off as B roll footage of a pterodactyl-themed mecha lights up the Titantron! Get ready, everyone, because the Pink Ranger makes her way out of the blue entrance side. Unlike Ness's sorry state before being beaten, this teen is armed, and not just with martial arts – she's got a bow and arrow set, and she's aiming it into the ring! Simultaneously to this, a mottled rainbow cube with a question mark on it begins to descend from the rafters towards the ring at a slow rate. What could be in it?! |

Sonic and his new allies unanimously hate the idea of getting hit by the Pink Ranger's arrows, and the former takes action instantly. He aims for the rainbow box that's descending and chucks Ness's bat upwards towards it with all due strength. Sadly, the semi-transparent rainbow cube passes through the baseball staff, which continues on all the way up into the rafters. Sadly, the bat is stuck up there, which means Sonic is now without bat or item. However, the Pink Ranger fires her bow, which means that he doesn't have time to mourn the loss. With pluck and hustle, Sonic positions himself between Big E and the ramp just in time to begin running in circles. He has very little time to build up speed, so he pushes himself to really get a proper speed vortex going just as the first arrow comes into play. The air pressure surrounding Sonic successfully sends it harmlessly out to the ringside floor. I say harmlessly, but it's relative because it does explode and make a pretty pink scorchmark on the ground. (“Mama Mia! That's one hell of a bow!” exclaims Mauro. “What if she just stays out there and zones the whole fight?” asks Bash as they watch her take a few steps down the ramp and knock another arrow. “Technically, she can't. If a challenger does not enter the ring before the challenger one number later than them does, they're out of the fight,” clarifies Goombella. “But if she were to get in and then roll right back out under the bottom rope...” “Yuuuuup, that'd be legal,” verifies the Goomba gal as Pink fires once more.) Thankfully, the Blue Blur is serving as just that, with his vortex continuing at a steady pace. His muscular ally is thankful, and happens to have undertaken the task of keeping an eye on Mike. That swordsman happens to be doing much the same, and the two avoid each other for the most part. However, the arrows are a problem. She fires one, two and then a third arrow, but they're all sent flying in the same direction – upwards above the ring, where they explode as not much more than pleasant fireworks. Instead of the Pink Ranger getting credit for the flashy attack, the crowd claps hard for Sonic's successful defense. It feels good to be applauded, and he has the energy to keep it up without tiring out! Out of frustration, the superhero continues walking the ramp and temporarily abandons the idea of shooting into the swirl. Instead, she takes aim at Mike, who stares back at her expressionless helmeted face. He's ready for what comes next – an arrow aimed clean through the ropes with his name on it! With practiced skill, Mike conjures an earth elemental boulder, which lands on the ring with a thud and takes the impact of the arrow! Thanks to this, the spellsword is unharmed, but the great size of the rock meant that the explosion happens close enough to Sonic to hit him as he passes! Tis a painful dose of pink magitech energy, and it knocks Sonic off his feet, skidding to the mat. Big E quickly makes to put himself between Mike and Sonic, but it's not all bad news for the speedster, as the rainbow box lands directly on him. It pops as it does, and as Sonic gets up, he finds that he's now surrounded by a trio of red Koopa shells, swirling all around him menacingly. He and Big E don't have time to celebrate, as the Pink Ranger enters the ring under the bottom ramp side rope. The New Day, Mike and Pink all sort of grill each other down as the countdown begins again. “10.. 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...”
For the first time in the match, serious boos emanate from the crowd, but they're mixed in with some serious cheers too. The hard hitting TJ Combo makes his way down the red side entrance, gloves and trunks on and hair on point. He's ready to beat some serious ass, or at least his theme song certainly indicates such...

As TJ Combo walks down the ramp, the fans begin to chant “Cy-borg! Cyyy-borg!” and whatnot. He carries the air of a man who is trying not to let something get to him, but inside the ring it's a little bit more tense than that. Glaring at one another for a few more moments, the Pink Ranger, Mike, and the two New Day-affiliated fighters have to make a choice. Mike's the one to do it, as he turns directly over to the Pink Ranger and starts blasting with his off-hand! Even though she looks surprised that Mike would attack her instead of the two that were ready to gang up, the brightly colored superhero manages to dodge his simple non-aligned energy burst with a back bend. He fires again as he takes the approach, but she dodges by falling to the ground and then by rolling out of the way of a third. This streak of speedy avoidance is ended by Big E, who's snuck behind her and grasped Pink in his signature abdominal stretch! The beefy and enthusiastic wrestler wrenches her arm and holds her by the hip, stuffing her attempts to jump and manuever out of the way. Mike's fourth burst of magic makes contact with her midsection, and the wind is knocked right out of the assaulted Ranger. That's when, having been whispered to by Sonic and Big E before they got into position, Xavier Woods mounts his Yoshi (baby blue colored, incidentally, as all three are) once more and points into the ring. His sidekick-mount chucks an egg, which makes direct contact with PR's head! Even with the helmet on, it looks like she's gotten her bell rung and she cries out with a frustrated and dazed sounding “Ugh!” However, this bare-faced team-banging, which has the crowd officially booing the New Day flat out, also attracts the attention of the man who was just about to walk up the steps into the ring. TJ Combo walks straight up to Xavier Woods, and the two awkwardly look at one another. “Combo, my man! Man, that sure was nuts over at CEO. You like my-” starts the fast-talking mastermind of the New Day before being stopped mid-sentence. “Seven against all, huh?” asks the boxer coldly. “No no, just two. Gotta make up for disadvantage-” “WHERE'S YOUR PRIDE, NIGGA?!” asks TJ as he delivers a bamming haymaker punch to Xavier's Yoshi's face so hard that the poor creature is flat out OHKO'd, and its rider is sent to the ground. (“Can you say that word in a Vitcon game?!” asks Mauro, shocked. “I think he just did!” says Bash, who laughs nervously.) “Get him!” yells Xavier as TJ sort of floats straight forward to the other Yoshis used for the entrance, knocking each of them out with hard-pounding right hands despite their attempts to repel him with eggs of their own. Despite this success, Kofi hits him with a flying Rider Kick, and it turns into a bit of a brawl against them – one which is quite enjoyed, incidentally. As this is happening, Pink, who seems to have nearly gotten free of the abdominal stretch, is pushed straight forward and out of it by Big E. It's just the right timing to make her stumble. Her limited grappling experience, after all, means that she wasn't prepared for the deliberate release. This proves to be quite a problem for her, as she is confronted by a real dilemma in the form of Sonic the Hedgehog's newest setup. Taking advantage of the Red Shells he has access to, Sanic tosses one, which travels toward her with substantial speed. Then he sends his ass flying forward in a ball with his signature Homing Attack, leaving Pink to awkwardly try and juke whichever she can! Because she isn't prepared at all, she fails and is hit first by the thrown Red Shell, then by Sonic as he bashes into her and sends her to the ropes, and then by one of the other shells as it spun past her while Sonic bounces off them back into the middle of the ring. The second shell sends her tumbling over the top rope, whereupon she lands with no grace at all on the other side. She's still on the apron though, and has not fallen out – that is, until Mike, who takes advantage of positioning to deliver a solid right hand of his own straight to her helmeted face. Beaten by quite the barrage, the Pink Ranger falls to the ground outside, and to her own elimination. Sonic is typically pleased with himself – so pleased, in fact, that he doesn't notice the man who's leaped down from the rafters with the assist of some dark rope. Even when he lands behind him and the crowd gasps, Sonic is still only focused on Mike and what's going on outside of the ring. However, when the third Red Shell gets smashed straight off his orbit and into Big E, and this is followed up with Ness's bat being smashed against his legs, Sonic notices. As he experiences excruciating pain, he whips around to see who's brought the bat back from the rafters. What he sees is dark black clothes and bright white makeup – it's Sting! Sting was up there in the rafters, drawn down when the bat landed up there! He's not even a Rumble Competitor, but he's there and kicking some ass with the bat he's been given just as well as he would his classic black bat! “10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...” Sonic and Big E try to fight off the guy who's gotten the drop on them, the buzzer goes off, and a very special time comes. “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” shouts the crowd near-unanimously as images of various big cats play over the titantrons and a muscular slice of invincible pro wrestler walks down the Blue Size with the confidence of a total asshole and a smile to match. (“Making his way to the ring, from Beach City, Delmarva, the Transforming Terror, Purple Puma!” announces Koto.)  Seeing he has no more time left, TJ Combo shoves Xavier into Kofi and rolls in.

As Purple Puma strokes their chin and glances between the current competitors, Sting continues to push his advantage. Sonic the Hedgehog, for a change, is rattled – to be assaulted unexpectedly by such a deadly and seasoned in-ring competitor wasn't what he'd expected when he tried to break the item box. Going as quickly as he can without hurting his targeted legs, the video game hero pulls his teammate with him, and the two are quickly surrounded by Xavier and Kofi. The New Day presents a unified front, which gives Sting pause. Rather than chasing, he stares at TJ Combo, who had fighting the New Day outside the ring until he had to enter. The killer boxer looks back with an equal glare, and the two share a nod. It's bad news for the New Day, as the two leave Mike behind in the ring and roll under the bottom rope, straight toward them! (“Purple's taking their sweet time getting into the ring!” says Bash. “Eh, things are shaking out now. Better to see who'll be the big threat in a minute or so,” opines Goombella.) Sonic wastes no time and rushes around the squared circle, with the others following behind. Once he's reached announcer side, he pulls up the apron and starts feeling around for any foreign objects that might be helpful. What he ends up putting his hands on is a glimmering disco ball. He's given pause as he and his nervous allies stare at it. What the fuck do you even do with a disco ball? Smash someone with it? Throw it as a projectile? Sonic isn't versed in disco fighting at all, and as he tries to figure it out, TJ Combo and Sting are going to work on Xavier and Kofi with punches and bat swings! Instead of valiantly defending his usual teammates, Big E hoists the injured Sonic on his shoulder and dashes straight over to blue ramp side yelling “NO SHAME!” As he does so, the Disco Ball slips out of his hand and ascends above the ring automatically. As it does, the atmosphere in the arena takes a turn for the cool! As the disco music blares, the competitors find themselves suddenly clad in, of all things, roller skates! Big E is able to take full advantage, skating Sonic around the ring while Sting and TJ Combo struggle to even move. They're clearly not the kind of guys who have done much skating, so Sonic positions himself just right on his ally's shoulder to hit em with one of those Classic-style 'Ah-ah-ah!' finger waves to the beat of the song. As they ride to relative safety, Mike tries to keep to the center of the ring. He's not a big skater either, but he holds his own even as the brick of of purple muscle and lavender hair known as Purple Puma careens straight for him! Thankfully, he has a blast of wind magic prepared, and counters the rush by sending the wrestler flying back in the direction they came! This would be an elimination if Puma had landed in the ring before getting blown away, but it still sends the attacker out somewhere into the crowd for now. The disco cuts out in the middle of the countdown, as it's that special time again! “10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1!” count the crowd, who stop dancing when the music cuts.
The Titantrons remain blank, and despite the fact that music begins to play, nobody appears on the ramp.

There is an uneasy quiet among the fighters, as it seems that nobody had made an entrance. The song continues to play as go went back to what they were doing. Big E puts down Sonic, who's feeling much better and ready to kick ass thanks to the fans' hearty enjoyment of the disco escape they made. His leg still isn't perfect, but that isn't the sort of thing that'll stop him! He and Big E stood up to their attackers, who finally could catch up. Sting's going straight for Sonic, while TJ Combo made for his pal. They may be ready for them, but Sting isn't ready for the vaguely spherical mass of purple flesh and energy that is Purple Puma blindsiding him and sending The Icon back to the place from whence he came – the rafters. (“SPIN DASH! SPIN DASH! PURPLE PUMA CAN USE THE DAMN SPIN DASH TOO! OMIGAWD!” Goombella has lost her composure entirely. “Are they allowed to do that?! With Sonic the Hedgehog himself right here in the arena?” asks Mauro. “Who cares?! It's awesome!” Bash is excited as well. “Spin dash! Spin dash!” he repeats.) Sonic and Big E take the opportunity to start 2-on-1 bashing TJ Combo, who nonetheless bravely throws right and left hooks to fend them off. Before they can really take advantage of him, all three competitors outside the ring find themselves surrounded (and I mean up to their damn necks) in giant, man-sized bugs! And not just any bugs – ants! It's a parade of them, all the way down the ramp, around the entire ring, and even one climbing the stairs into the ring! Speaking of that one, it's carrying a fit, slender man in a high tech red and black supersuit! “Weighing in at 78kg without armor and possessing variable mass, he is the Astonishing Ant-Man!” (“So that's who it was! Sneaky business, getting his ants in the area before making them big enough to see!” Mauro approved, clearly.) Just as he gets in the ring, Ant Man barely dodges the Purple Puma as the hefty wrestler spin dashes once more, this time with Mike in their sights! That guy happens to be making things rugged for Sonic, blasting pressurized magical water into the path he and Big E are trying to use to avoid the ants! This takes them off their feet entirely, and they quickly find themselves beset by both TJ Combo's brutal punches and biting, heavy ants trying to grapple with them! Just like Sting, Mike finds himself knocked off his feet by the amethyst-colored aerial spindash, but unlike the non-participant, he lands back on them, still well inside the ring. The crowd even starts going off as Purple Puma tries to continue this same strategy. “Better than Sonic! -clapclapclapclapclap-! Better than Sonic! -clapclapclapclapclap-” they say, and this does nothing to help the morale of the grounded hedgehog as he tries to scramble away from the ants. He had just started to feel better on his legs, but with a chant like that he feels like he's losing their support. As Mike rolls out of the way of a few additional spins, he proves that a human dodge rolling, while not as offensive as a spin dash, could be highly effective.
