The Justice Heroes Elite
CHP 4: Tournament begins
Pythena enters the castle, and makes her way to the front room. She spots two Tarkatans playing cards at a nearby table. She makes her way over to a table where Shang Tsung sits alone thinking. She slams her fist on the table sitting down in front of him. He looks up at her confused.
“What’s wrong, did something happen?” Shang Tsung asks.
“There is no real problem, I’m just pissed that whoever the bat guy and the individual in the Iron suit showed up. They are pathetic and a waste of time, there powers are the kind you can buy at a Wal-Mart!!” Pythena says with much anger.
Shang Tsung takes his hands out of his pockets and rests them on the table.
“I don’t see what the big deal is; won’t the two of them be easily beaten?” Shang Tsung asks.
“That is the whole point! We need to get rid of the threats; the two of them aren’t real heroes. Plus I barely know anything about either of them; I only focused on the super powered ones with real abilities.” Pythena says looking down at the table.
“You need to stop worrying; everything will work out just fine. I’ll speak with you later; I need to arrange the fighters on the brackets now.” Shang Tsung tells.
He gets up from the table and walks into a back room.
The next
Morning
Bucky’s eyes open, and he looks at the clock which says 8:35 AM. He sits up in the bed and yawns. He looks over at the other bed, to see Diana and Carol still asleep. He gets out of his bed slowly, trying not to wake the two. He picks up the Cap suit which lies next to the bed. He takes it with him leaving the room in silence. He makes his way to one of the bathrooms in the hall. Inside of another room, Clark is up and getting out of bed. He walks over to the other bed where Bruce sleeps.
“Hey Bruce wake up, it’s time that we get ready.” He says tapping him on the shoulder.
Bruce grunts at Clark, putting his face into the pillow.
“Come on Bruce, it’s already after eight. We have to be there by ten if you haven’t forgotten.” Clark says.
Clark backs up as Bruce sits up, rubbing his eyes.
“Did you have a late night or something?” Clark asks.
Bruce gets out of the covers and sits on the edge of the bed.
“You know I do late hours Kal. I had to be sure this place was safe?” Bruce replies.
Bruce walks over to a corner where his bag lays. He bends down opens the bag, pulling out a bat suit and utility belt. He looks over at Kal.
“I’m going to take a quick shower, and when I get back you can go in.” Bruce tells him.
With that, Bruce puts on a pair of jeans over his boxer shorts and exits the room with his bat suit. Inside another room the T.V. is on. Tony Stark gets out of bed and gets into his iron suit. Wally pulls one of his rings out and zooms into his flash suit.
“Well, it looks like the two of us are ready to go. I wonder about the others. Even if Super boy isn’t here, I think this tournament will be a lot of fun. I’ve always wanted to take on Spiderman!” Flash says.
Tony smiles under his suit. Flash picks up the T.V. Remote and changes the channel. He takes a second to look over at Ironman.
“Don’t you sweat a lot in that suit? I mean come on; the weather in this place is hot man!” Flash asks.
“That is a good question. I programmed air conditioning inside of it.”
“That was smart; do you also have a heater for when it is cold?” Flash asks.
Tony smiles again under the iron.
“Yes I did.” He replies.
“I guess you have pretty much thought of everything.” Flash adds.
At a Studio
Miles away
Johnny Cage enters with some papers. He walks passed many camcorders that are on a set. He quickly spots the man he is looking for, and makes his way that direction.
“Hello Mr. Cage, so what do you have for me?” Ritchie asks.
Johnny hands him the papers that are in a huge envelope. The man goes through the papers for a little bit before saying anything
“Well Johnny, it looks like everything is here. Welcome aboard. Filming will start in the next few weeks. You can talk with Ms. Chelsie over there, who will hook you up with your script.” Ritchie tells.
Johnny shakes hands with the man, before heading that direction. She looks up from her desk and smiles at him.
“You must be Johnny Cage.” Chelsie says shaking his hand.
“Yes I am. How long will it take for you to get the script for me? I have some place I really need to be.” Johnny asks.
She sits back putting her legs on top of the table.
“I will have it printed out for you in about thirty minutes.” She replies.
Johnny looks down at his watch.
“How about I pick it up later, like maybe tonight? I really don’t want to be late for this.” Johnny asks.
“That will be ok. Do you mind if I ask where you are going?” She asks.
“I’m going to the Mortal Kombat tournament.” Johnny replies as he begins to walk off.
“I’ll be routing for you.” Chelsie says with a smile.
Johnny exits the building to see a helicopter waiting for him. Jax and Sonya step out of the helicopter to greet him.
“How did the two of you know I was here?” Johnny asks confused.
“We checked at your house first, and you weren’t there. So this is the only other place you would be.” Sonya says.
“This guy is one of the hosts for the tournament; he is going to take us to the island.” Jax says pointing at the pilot in the helicopter.
“Ok, than let’s not keep him waiting.” Johnny says.
The three of them get into the helicopter. Not much longer and it is air born. Another hour passes.
Inside the
Tournament dome
Superman enters with the rest of the heroes behind him. Spiderman’s eyes widen at the long lines.
“Man, just how many people are going to be in this tournament!! This is getting better and better by the minute. Hopefully there will be a huge crowd watching as well.” Spiderman hopes.
“This must be the right place.” Superman says.
He turns to Batman and gives him the map. Batman folds it up and puts it in his utility belt.
“I guess this line is to sign in. It will be interesting to see who out of us all will be on the same bracket.” Green Lantern says.
Many minutes pass, and they are now at the front of the line. A man in one of the booths hands Wolverine a pen.
“All you need to do is sign your name on the next available spot.” The guy tells.
Wolverine looks down on the paper, and writes his name by the number 326.
“Alright you can head in, but take a left.” The guy tells him.
“No problem bub.” Wolverine replies.
He enters the main area. He is amazed at the sight of the ring; there is no top on the dome. The sun shines bright on the ring. Wolverine looks into the audience area to hear many screams and cheers.
“Wow, there must be over five thousand people in the crowd. I think I am going to enjoy this tournament!” Wolverine says to himself.
Logan can feel himself getting nervous, but pumped up and ready to fight! Not long after the others are registered and join Wolverine. Both Spiderman and Flash, show there excitement.
“Come on guys, we need to go find the brackets!” Flash says.
“I know, I’m anxious to see who I will be fighting!” Spidy says in excitement.
Wonder Woman looks far ahead and spots four wood boards with names on them.
“Let’s go up that way, I think the brackets are posted up over there.” Wonder Woman says, pointing.
Flash zooms past everyone, with Spiderman running behind him. Ms. Marvel shakes her head.
“I swear those two are acting like children.” She says.
The rest of the group catches up with them.
“I can’t seem to find my name, there are so many on each board.” Flash says scratching his head.
“I might be able to help.” A voice from behind him says.
Flash turns around to see a muscular man.
“Who are you?” He asks.
“Oh sorry, my name is Liu Kang. You and your friends look to be new here. I like the costumes. I hope you all enjoy the Mortal Kombat tournament.” Liu says.
Flash walks over and shakes hands with him.
“It’s always nice to see a new Friendly face. I’m called the Flash.” He introduces.
Liu Kang walks in front of the brackets. He looks at it for a few moments.
“There you are. You are going against a guy called Veimp.” Liu tells flash.
The others stand behind the two.
“Thanks a lot Liu, I really appreciate that.” Flash says.
“No problem, I hope to see you around.” Liu replies.
He walks off and waves to them all. Green Lantern and the rest of the heroes move up to look at the brackets. Spiderman finds everyone’s name in the group.
“This is amazing, four brackets with 100 participants in each. So how it is looking, Bats, Supes, and Flash are in Bracket 1. Wonder Woman, Cap, Ms. Marvel, and Ironman in 2, with Green Lantern and Wolverine in 3. That is really cool; I basically get a free trip to the finals, with me being the only one in Bracket four out of us!” Spidy says in relief.
“Don’t get to excited Spiderman. You don’t know any of the fighters of this world.” Captain America says.
A man steps in the middle of the ring with a micro phone.
“I’m glad you could all make it today, we are glad to present to you the Mortal Kombat tournament!! Things will be a lot different this year, you as the audience can now place bets on who you think will win each match.” He tells.
The crowd goes wild with cheers and yelling!
“We also have a new transport system, which means the fighters have the choice of fighting here in the dome. Or they can choose to fight in another destination of there choosing. But with the huge energy window above me, you all will still be able to see them battle.” The announcer tells.
The crowd is even louder than before. Liu Kang and Kung Lao stand nearby watching.
“Wow, it really is different this year. But I won’t perform any different, even with that many people watching. Kung Lao says cracking his Knuckles.
“This is what we trained for, there are much more outsiders taking part this time. I still see myself in the final round.” Liu Kang says stretching.
“We will see about that.” Kung Lao says under his breath.
Inside of a back room, Subzero sits in silence. He can here the roaring crowd outside.
“Can I have everyone’s attention?” The announcer says over the speaker.
The crowd takes a bit before it calms down.
“You all should thank Ms. Pythena for the new updates to the tournament. If it weren’t for her, things would still be the same. Here she is, Pythena.” He says pointing at her as she enters the ring.
The crowd cheers again. Pythena takes the microphone from the announcer and begins talking. Outside of the Dome, a helicopter lands with Sonya, Jax, and Johnny getting out. They get out of the helicopter and head into the dome fast. Johnny is first to get to a booth. He used his ID to get to the front of the line.
“How are you doing today Mr. Cage?” The guy behind the booth asks.
Johnny looks down the list and signs his name by 387.
“I’m doing just fine.” Johnny finally replies.
Johnny then heads into the main area of the dome, where Pythena is speaking. Jax and Sonya join him quickly.
“Ok everyone, the Mortal Kombat tournament will begin shortly. Once we get all fighters in the waiting area. They will enter the ring when they are called up.” Pythena tells.
The crowd claps and cheers, awaiting the first fighters to enter the ring. The hosts of the tourney gather up the participants standing around and take them to the huge waiting area. Wolverine looks up to see the many TV’s.
“I guess that is how we will be able to watch each match, while it isn’t are turns.” He says to himself.
In another thirty minutes the fighters are all gathered in the waiting room. Shang Tsung steps into the ring as Pythena exits.
“It is time, Mortal Kombat begins now! First up is Liu Kang vs. Blood brawler.” Shang Tsung says.
The crowd is excited and loud!! Liu Kang and his opponent make there way past the many fighters in the waiting room. Blood Bawler accidentally bumps into Reptile, who pushes him against a wall.
“Watch where you are going idiot.” Reptile says.
Blood Brawler ignores him and continues to walk. Both fighters enter the ring shortly. This gets the crowd really excited! Shang Tsung steps out of the ring with the announcer stepping back in. He holds the microphone.
“So would the two of you like to battle right here in the dome, or take it somewhere else?” The announcer asks.
The two just stair at each other, neither of them saying a word. Liu Kang finally speaks.
“We will fight right here in the dome.” He replies, not taking his eyes off of his opponent.
The crowd gets loud again. The announcer exits the ring. Both fighters get in there fighting stances and back up a bit from each other. Everyone in the waiting room is tense; watching on the TV’s who will strike first. Scorpion stands by a water fountain.
“I hope Liu Kang kicks this guys butt!” Flash yells.
A lot of people in the waiting room, look over at Flash. Batman walks up behind him.
“Do me a favor Wally, just shut up.” Batman whispers.
Flash smiles and scratches his head. Everyone’s attention is back on the screens, in a few seconds. Blood Brawler pulls a chain out of his jacket, with a blade on the end of it. He swings it around in place for a bit, before throwing it forward. Liu jumps back, and grabs the side of the blade. He pulls hard on it, pulling the chain out of his opponent’s hands. He drops the chain, jumps up and bicycle kicks Blood Brawler to the ground. The crowd is loud, and chanting Liu Kang’s name. Blood Brawler gets up and throws a few punches at the champion, which are blocked. Liu knees him in the stomach and uppercuts him. The man lands on his back.
“Hhm, maybe this Liu Kang fighter deserves more credit than I gave him.” Pythena says to herself, standing outside the ring.
Blood Brawler is slow and dizzy to get up. Liu jumps up and knife hands him in the neck, he then round house kicks him back down. Blood Brawler looks up at Liu one more time, before his eyes shut and he falls unconscious. Some of the audience get out of there seats to stand up and clap!! The announcer steps back into the ring.
“The winner of this Match is Liu Kang!” He tells.
Liu waves at the audiences as he steps out of the ring, and heads back for the waiting area.
“I knew you would beat him quick, but I had no idea it would end that fast.” Kung Lao says.
Liu stops and stands next to the man.
“Let’s hope you are just as lucky.” Liu says.
He does not reply, but closes his eyes standing in silence. A few more matches go by.
“Alright, now for the next match. It is Zudo vs. Spiderman!” The announcer says.
When he hears his name get called, he shakes a bit. Batman notices this, but just sits back.
“I guess that means you’re the first to fight out of our group.” Superman says.
He pats Spidy on his back.
“Wish me luck guys.” Spidy says.
He makes his way past the fighters in the room.
“Spiderman, who goes by a lame name like that?” Cyrax says, as Spidy passes by.
Peter just grins under his mask, and continues his way to the ring. Zudo gets in first, and awaits Spiderman who gets in a little while after.
“So where would the two of you like to duke it out?” The announcer asks, putting the microphone between them both.
“We would like to take a look at the area’s you have.” Spidy says.
“Great, that will make you two the first today. The announcer says.
Pythena steps into the ring. She has them both look up at the energy window; it goes through the many different areas. After doing that, she exits the ring.
“So which one will it be boys?” The announcer asks.
Zudo doesn’t say anything, just standing there. Spiderman has a hard time picking one. But the crowd begins yelling the lost swamp, Spidy smiles at this.
“The lost swamp it is!” Spiderman tells.
The announcer gets out of the ring. A huge light shines over both Spiderman and Zudo, within a flash of energy they are both gone. The audiences look up on the energy window, which shows a clear image of Spiderman walking around in mud. The crowd is loud and excited. Inside the lost swamp, Spidy looks for Zudo.
“I wonder where he went, I hate hide and seek.” Spidy says.
He looks up to see the clouds covering the moon. He realizes there is a huge time difference in this world. As apposed to back in the dome area. He can hear frogs crocking, and insects. His Spider sense goes off, and he jumps out of the way of a metal boomer rang. He looks up in a near by tree, Zudo looks down at him smiling.
“Are you going to come down? Or am I going to have to come up there?” Spidy asks.
Zudo jumps down from the tree, and almost slips when he lands in the mud. Spiderman shoots out his web, and it sticks on Zudo’s chest. Spiderman pulls himself toward his opponent and kicks him into the mud. Zudo gets up and starts throwing punches at Spidy, who dodges them with his reflexes. He gets annoyed with this, picking up Spidy and throwing him into the swamp water. Spiderman looks down at his wet muddy suit.
“You just had to get my suit all wet and dirty. I think it’s time we finish this.” Spiderman says, standing in the dark water.
Zudo runs at Spiderman, and tackles him into the water. He digs his hand to the bottom and throws wet mud into the Wall Crawlers face. Spidy webs Zudo’s arms together and kicks him off of him. Zudo breaks out of the web and the two begin fighting. Spiderman trips over a rock, and falls into the mud. Zudo places his foot on Spiderman’s chest, pulling out a large blade.
“I win, Spider boy!!” Zudo yells, about to stab the blade into his opponent.
Just then a huge Crocodile comes out of the swamp water, and bites off Zudo’s head. His body falls forward, with his blood shooting all over Spiderman. The Croc comes back, and takes the rest of his body under. Spiderman jumps out of the water and swing up into a tree with his web.
“What just happened? I have never seen a Crocodile that big!! Either those were some really good graphics, or my opponent just got eaten.” Spidy says.
In seconds a light shines over him, and he is brought back to the dome. The crowd is at its loudest!!!! Spiderman stands alone in the ring, covered in mud and blood. Everyone in the crowd, jumps up and cheers. Shang Tsung enters the ring with the announcer. The announcer puts up Spiderman’s hand.
“Spiderman wins, fatality.” Shang Tsung says.
No one in the waiting room believes what they just saw. Superman and Ironman are wide eyed. Spiderman looks over at Shang Tsung.
“So does this mean people can die in this tourney? I didn’t think it was going to be like this.” Spiderman asks.
“Yes, that is the way it is. You can be killed, or just beaten.” Shang Tsung replies.
“Do you have an idea where I can go, to clean up a bit?” Spiderman asks.
“There is a bathroom on your way to the waiting area.” Shang Tsung answers.
Spidy thanks him, and then heads out of the ring. He gets many cheers, and waves at the people. In the waiting room, Captain America stands in a corner thinking. Wonder Woman walks up next to him.
“What’s on your mind Buck?” She asks.
He looks down at the ground, not making eye contact.
“I know where not to fight when it’s my turn.” Cap replies.
Wonder Woman laughs a little at what he said. Batman walks over to the Water fountain, and gets a small drink. He and Scorpion catch glimpses. They stare at each other for a bit, until Batman finally walks off. A few of the hosts are cleaning the ring, getting rid of the mud and blood that dripped off of Spiderman. Spidy returns to the waiting room, looking clean. He gets a few claps from a lot of the fighters. He makes his way over to his group.
“So how do you guys think I did?” Spidy asks.
“Well obviously you won, so you must have done something right.” Ms. Marvel replies.
“You were awesome Spiderman, couldn’t have done it better myself. I was however surprised when that huge Croc came out of nowhere.” Green Lantern adds.
Spiderman talks with the group for awhile, except Batman who stands alone and Wonder Woman who is talking with Captain America. Another two hours pass. Many matches have gone by.
“And now we have Nitara vs. Batman!! Come on out you two.” The announcer yells.
Batman’s eyes open at the sound of his name; he gets off the wall he leans on. Spiderman and Superman walk over to the Dark Knight.
“Go show him what Batman can do.” Superman says.
Batman shakes his head.
“What’s wrong?” Superman asks.
“That was a bit lame.” Batman replies.
“Good luck bats, just remember brains beats muscle if you are out powered.” Spiderman says.
“Thanks, I will remember that.” Batman says.
The Dark Knight walks passed the fighters who sit around. He and Scorpion catch glimpses again, but this time he just keeps going. Spiderman turns to Superman.
“Doesn’t Nitara sound like a girl?” Spiderman asks.
Superman just looks at him.
“Let’s just watch the fight.” Superman says.
Everyone’s attention is on the TV’s around. Batman enters the ring, and looks up to see his opponent fly down into the ring. She licks her lips at the sight of him.
“Wow, it is a woman. She has bat wings, now that is funny.” Superman says.
Batman and Nitara stair into each others eyes.

“You all should thank Ms. Pythena for the new updates to the tournament. If it weren’t for her, things would still be the same. Here she is, Pythena.” He says pointing at her as she enters the ring.
The crowd cheers again. Pythena takes the microphone from the announcer and begins talking. Outside of the Dome, a helicopter lands with Sonya, Jax, and Johnny getting out. They get out of the helicopter and head into the dome fast. Johnny is first to get to a booth. He used his ID to get to the front of the line.
“How are you doing today Mr. Cage?” The guy behind the booth asks.
Johnny looks down the list and signs his name by 387.
“I’m doing just fine.” Johnny finally replies.
Johnny then heads into the main area of the dome, where Pythena is speaking. Jax and Sonya join him quickly.
“Ok everyone, the Mortal Kombat tournament will begin shortly. Once we get all fighters in the waiting area. They will enter the ring when they are called up.” Pythena tells.
The crowd claps and cheers, awaiting the first fighters to enter the ring. The hosts of the tourney gather up the participants standing around and take them to the huge waiting area. Wolverine looks up to see the many TV’s.
“I guess that is how we will be able to watch each match, while it isn’t are turns.” He says to himself.
In another thirty minutes the fighters are all gathered in the waiting room. Shang Tsung steps into the ring as Pythena exits.
“It is time, Mortal Kombat begins now! First up is Liu Kang vs. Blood brawler.” Shang Tsung says.
The crowd is excited and loud!! Liu Kang and his opponent make there way past the many fighters in the waiting room. Blood Bawler accidentally bumps into Reptile, who pushes him against a wall.
“Watch where you are going idiot.” Reptile says.
Blood Brawler ignores him and continues to walk. Both fighters enter the ring shortly. This gets the crowd really excited! Shang Tsung steps out of the ring with the announcer stepping back in. He holds the microphone.
“So would the two of you like to battle right here in the dome, or take it somewhere else?” The announcer asks.
The two just stair at each other, neither of them saying a word. Liu Kang finally speaks.
“We will fight right here in the dome.” He replies, not taking his eyes off of his opponent.
The crowd gets loud again. The announcer exits the ring. Both fighters get in there fighting stances and back up a bit from each other. Everyone in the waiting room is tense; watching on the TV’s who will strike first. Scorpion stands by a water fountain.
“I hope Liu Kang kicks this guys butt!” Flash yells.
A lot of people in the waiting room, look over at Flash. Batman walks up behind him.
“Do me a favor Wally, just shut up.” Batman whispers.
Flash smiles and scratches his head. Everyone’s attention is back on the screens, in a few seconds. Blood Brawler pulls a chain out of his jacket, with a blade on the end of it. He swings it around in place for a bit, before throwing it forward. Liu jumps back, and grabs the side of the blade. He pulls hard on it, pulling the chain out of his opponent’s hands. He drops the chain, jumps up and bicycle kicks Blood Brawler to the ground. The crowd is loud, and chanting Liu Kang’s name. Blood Brawler gets up and throws a few punches at the champion, which are blocked. Liu knees him in the stomach and uppercuts him. The man lands on his back.
“Hhm, maybe this Liu Kang fighter deserves more credit than I gave him.” Pythena says to herself, standing outside the ring.
Blood Brawler is slow and dizzy to get up. Liu jumps up and knife hands him in the neck, he then round house kicks him back down. Blood Brawler looks up at Liu one more time, before his eyes shut and he falls unconscious. Some of the audience get out of there seats to stand up and clap!! The announcer steps back into the ring.
“The winner of this Match is Liu Kang!” He tells.
Liu waves at the audiences as he steps out of the ring, and heads back for the waiting area.
“I knew you would beat him quick, but I had no idea it would end that fast.” Kung Lao says.
Liu stops and stands next to the man.
“Let’s hope you are just as lucky.” Liu says.
He does not reply, but closes his eyes standing in silence. A few more matches go by.
“Alright, now for the next match. It is Zudo vs. Spiderman!” The announcer says.
When he hears his name get called, he shakes a bit. Batman notices this, but just sits back.
“I guess that means you’re the first to fight out of our group.” Superman says.
He pats Spidy on his back.
“Wish me luck guys.” Spidy says.
He makes his way past the fighters in the room.
“Spiderman, who goes by a lame name like that?” Cyrax says, as Spidy passes by.
Peter just grins under his mask, and continues his way to the ring. Zudo gets in first, and awaits Spiderman who gets in a little while after.
“So where would the two of you like to duke it out?” The announcer asks, putting the microphone between them both.
“We would like to take a look at the area’s you have.” Spidy says.
“Great, that will make you two the first today. The announcer says.
Pythena steps into the ring. She has them both look up at the energy window; it goes through the many different areas. After doing that, she exits the ring.
“So which one will it be boys?” The announcer asks.
Zudo doesn’t say anything, just standing there. Spiderman has a hard time picking one. But the crowd begins yelling the lost swamp, Spidy smiles at this.
“The lost swamp it is!” Spiderman tells.
The announcer gets out of the ring. A huge light shines over both Spiderman and Zudo, within a flash of energy they are both gone. The audiences look up on the energy window, which shows a clear image of Spiderman walking around in mud. The crowd is loud and excited. Inside the lost swamp, Spidy looks for Zudo.
“I wonder where he went, I hate hide and seek.” Spidy says.
He looks up to see the clouds covering the moon. He realizes there is a huge time difference in this world. As apposed to back in the dome area. He can hear frogs crocking, and insects. His Spider sense goes off, and he jumps out of the way of a metal boomer rang. He looks up in a near by tree, Zudo looks down at him smiling.
“Are you going to come down? Or am I going to have to come up there?” Spidy asks.
Zudo jumps down from the tree, and almost slips when he lands in the mud. Spiderman shoots out his web, and it sticks on Zudo’s chest. Spiderman pulls himself toward his opponent and kicks him into the mud. Zudo gets up and starts throwing punches at Spidy, who dodges them with his reflexes. He gets annoyed with this, picking up Spidy and throwing him into the swamp water. Spiderman looks down at his wet muddy suit.
“You just had to get my suit all wet and dirty. I think it’s time we finish this.” Spiderman says, standing in the dark water.
Zudo runs at Spiderman, and tackles him into the water. He digs his hand to the bottom and throws wet mud into the Wall Crawlers face. Spidy webs Zudo’s arms together and kicks him off of him. Zudo breaks out of the web and the two begin fighting. Spiderman trips over a rock, and falls into the mud. Zudo places his foot on Spiderman’s chest, pulling out a large blade.
“I win, Spider boy!!” Zudo yells, about to stab the blade into his opponent.
Just then a huge Crocodile comes out of the swamp water, and bites off Zudo’s head. His body falls forward, with his blood shooting all over Spiderman. The Croc comes back, and takes the rest of his body under. Spiderman jumps out of the water and swing up into a tree with his web.
“What just happened? I have never seen a Crocodile that big!! Either those were some really good graphics, or my opponent just got eaten.” Spidy says.
In seconds a light shines over him, and he is brought back to the dome. The crowd is at its loudest!!!! Spiderman stands alone in the ring, covered in mud and blood. Everyone in the crowd, jumps up and cheers. Shang Tsung enters the ring with the announcer. The announcer puts up Spiderman’s hand.
“Spiderman wins, fatality.” Shang Tsung says.
No one in the waiting room believes what they just saw. Superman and Ironman are wide eyed. Spiderman looks over at Shang Tsung.
“So does this mean people can die in this tourney? I didn’t think it was going to be like this.” Spiderman asks.
“Yes, that is the way it is. You can be killed, or just beaten.” Shang Tsung replies.
“Do you have an idea where I can go, to clean up a bit?” Spiderman asks.
“There is a bathroom on your way to the waiting area.” Shang Tsung answers.
Spidy thanks him, and then heads out of the ring. He gets many cheers, and waves at the people. In the waiting room, Captain America stands in a corner thinking. Wonder Woman walks up next to him.
“What’s on your mind Buck?” She asks.
He looks down at the ground, not making eye contact.
“I know where not to fight when it’s my turn.” Cap replies.
Wonder Woman laughs a little at what he said. Batman walks over to the Water fountain, and gets a small drink. He and Scorpion catch glimpses. They stare at each other for a bit, until Batman finally walks off. A few of the hosts are cleaning the ring, getting rid of the mud and blood that dripped off of Spiderman. Spidy returns to the waiting room, looking clean. He gets a few claps from a lot of the fighters. He makes his way over to his group.
“So how do you guys think I did?” Spidy asks.
“Well obviously you won, so you must have done something right.” Ms. Marvel replies.
“You were awesome Spiderman, couldn’t have done it better myself. I was however surprised when that huge Croc came out of nowhere.” Green Lantern adds.
Spiderman talks with the group for awhile, except Batman who stands alone and Wonder Woman who is talking with Captain America. Another two hours pass. Many matches have gone by.
“And now we have Nitara vs. Batman!! Come on out you two.” The announcer yells.
Batman’s eyes open at the sound of his name; he gets off the wall he leans on. Spiderman and Superman walk over to the Dark Knight.
“Go show him what Batman can do.” Superman says.
Batman shakes his head.
“What’s wrong?” Superman asks.
“That was a bit lame.” Batman replies.
“Good luck bats, just remember brains beats muscle if you are out powered.” Spiderman says.
“Thanks, I will remember that.” Batman says.
The Dark Knight walks passed the fighters who sit around. He and Scorpion catch glimpses again, but this time he just keeps going. Spiderman turns to Superman.
“Doesn’t Nitara sound like a girl?” Spiderman asks.
Superman just looks at him.
“Let’s just watch the fight.” Superman says.
Everyone’s attention is on the TV’s around. Batman enters the ring, and looks up to see his opponent fly down into the ring. She licks her lips at the sight of him.
“Wow, it is a woman. She has bat wings, now that is funny.” Superman says.
Batman and Nitara stair into each others eyes.
