Starting with the 1st stage of the Goliath.

Great Match! I give the setup a 5.0.

Brock likely wins. As a cartoon character his feats of strength and durability are much higher then one of a live action character and he’s shown to be just as capable in combat as Evil Ash.

Of these two I'd have to go for Pslocke. Hate to vote against Mirage though.

THE XAVIER INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT PART 7 TEAMS AND SET-UP In the battle pitting representatives from the New Mutants team and Alpha Flight, Magik and Vindicator crossed swords. Magik’s Soulsword and the Scell smashed against one another. Illyana laughed. MAGIK: Let me know whenever you want to get serious. VINDICATOR: I am ready when you are. Magik quickly teleported behind Vindicator and took a swing, Using the inherent magical abilities within her own blade, Vindicator teleported away from the swipe. VINDICATOR: Weren’t expecting that were you? Magik laughed again. MAGIK: You don’t think I, the ruler of Limbo, know about that sword, made from Promethium, a magical metal only found in Limbo? I know all about it and the women that carried it, Isabel St. Ives, Jane Thorne, and Amelia Weatherly. But you don’t strike me as a spirit of retribution. Vindicator lunged at Magik. VINDICATOR: A person should always use the tools available to them. Magik again evaded the attack and jumped on stepping discs that she had created. MAGIK: Even if that tool is sapping away your life force? VINDICATOR: When you put it like that.. Vindicator briefly appeared to be struck by these words and looked warily at her sword before quickly revealing her ruse and striking Illyana with a barrage of electromagnetic pulses. After the first few knocked Magik off her feet, the young mutant defended herself with a psionic shield. MAGIK: That was on me. I’m much less versed in Canadian super suits than mystical swords. VINDICATOR: Let me give you a closer look. Heather jumped toward Magik and punched at her psionic shield. Magik cast a binding spell that manifested itself in an orange aura surrounding Vindicator. Using her suit, Vindicator created a force field to protect herself and broke the binding. VINDICATOR: Look at that, science can trump magic. Vindicator knocked Magik to the ground with some quick martial arts moves and another electromagnetic pulse attack. Magik teleported away and appeared above Vindicator on a stepping disc. MAGIK: Ok. We’re done here. Heather flew toward Illyana. Magik conjured a massive hydra composed of eldritch energy that crashed into Vindicator and took out the Alpha Flight superhero. Magik stood victoriously over the knocked out Vindicator. CANNONBALL: Is that what you call not taking it too far? MAGIK: She’ll be fine. If anything, she should feel proud. It was clear that normal magic wasn’t going to take her down. COMPUTER VOICE: The winner is Magik. That is one point for the New Mutants. The Danger Room opened up and Magik rejoined her teammates to wait for the next round. Shaman of Alpha Flight tended to his fallen teammate. SHAMAN: I will have you feeling better soon, Heather. I won't lie, I don’t envy that you collided with that demonic apparition instead of me. Elsewhere, the X-Men Blue team of Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, and Jubilee celebrated Gambit’s recent win over Archangel and reminisced about old times. As the second round started the conversation shifted to the near future. WOLVERINE: I really want to know who I’m going up against. If it isn’t Scott, Jean, or Hank…it’s got to be Kurt. Our history, our bond, our contrasting philosophies…. Wolverine unsheathed his claws. WOLVERINE: Heh, it’s going to be a bad day for the elf. Oh wait, what’s if it’s ‘Ro? ROGUE: Come now Suga, I think it would be much cooler if me and Storm went a few rounds. JUBILEE: I figure the professor would pair you up with one of the other powerhouses. ROGUE: Yeah, you’re probably right. That Cerise girl on the Excalibur team seems pretty fit. She is Shi’ar and Kurt used to talk bout how strong she was all the time. GAMBIT: She doesn’t hold a candle to you, cher. JUBILEE: Monet St. Croix is really strong, really durable, and can fly super fast. That would be the most obvious pick I would think. ROGUE: Wouldn’t you be disappointed if you weren’t our rep when we face Generation X, Suga? JUBILEE: Wow, um, I hadn’t thought about it, really. I guess it would be cool to go up against one of my old classmates. Just as long as it isn’t Monet, I want no part of that. Now that I think about it, a battle against my X-Treme X-Terminator teammate, Dazzler, would be pretty fun. Ali and I would put on a show for sure. PSYLOCKE: It would be one of the most colorful skirmishes for sure. As for me…. I saw that the second round is starting with the First Class versus X-Factor. I would think that would mean Alex versus Scott. If that’s the case then I am destined to face off against my brother, Brian? JUBILEE: I don’t think you can assume that. Colossus and Magik already had their matches in the first round and they weren’t against each other. GAMBIT: Gambit is just thankful he doesn't have to play this wondering game anymore… at least for now. ?: More answers will be revealed if you follow me. The fivesome was joined by former New Mutants leader and current librarian and French teacher, Xuan Cao Manh, Karma. GAMBIT: Quite far from the library, cher. KARMA: Its a ghost town currently as is my classroom. All the students are watching the matches. Which works out well for me since the professor asked for my help. WOLVERINE: Sounds like my kinda learnin’. Gambit smiled at Karma. GAMBIT: Ouvrir la voie. KARMA: If I’m ever out sick maybe you can sub for me. GAMBIT: The kind of phrases Gambit learned in the French Quarter shouldn’t be taught to no children. The X-Men Blue Team returned to the Danger Room where they were joined by Karma’s former team. Cannonball stood across Wolverine, Sunspot stood across Jubilee, Danielle Moonstar stood across Psylocke, Magma stood across Rogue, and Magik stood across Gambit. GAMBIT: Congrats on your winning hand earlier. MAGIK: You too, Remy. JUBILEE: Wait, am I facing Roberto? PSYLOCKE: I think not. It’s plainly obvious what the pairing here is. KARMA: It should be. Betsy Braddock, Danielle Moonstar, the telepathic ninja who fights with psionic blades, and the telepathic warrior who fights with psionic arrows, bolts, and bullets. DANI MOONSTAR: And an occasional illusion here and there. KARMA: You more than earned the codename, Mirage. PSYLOCKE: It will take more than a mirage to throw me off my game. DANI MOONSTAR: Is that a challenge? PSYLOCKE: I’ve been kidnapped, brainwashed, gutted by Sabretooth, what are a few scary images going to do? DANI MOONSTAR: They would probably be wasted on a telepath of your ability anyway. Let’s stick to physical fighting and psychic weaponry. PSYLOCKE: Works for me. The two highly skilled mutants stepped into the Danger Room which immediately transformed into a dense forest.

Good setup as usual, Boratz. I'm amazed as popular as these characters were to use on here that they haven't been paired up before. I think I'm going with Starkiller.

I would think Jean's got this!

The next match up in the Mirage TMNT storyline continues with the next match in the tournament finals! So far, the Turtles have gotten off to a bad start with Raphael having been defeated by Ken Masters, but quickly made a rebound with Michelangelo securing a victory over Guile. And now we're proceeding onto the next match between Donatello and Chun-Li, which hopefully is a match that isn't so obvious and is in stark contrast to the official match line up in Capcom and IDW's collaboration for TMNT vs. Street Fighter. Writing out the recap fight between Michelangelo and Guile was both easy and challenging-- it was easy because I am familiar with most of Guile's moveset, as he only has two special moves and a few Supers here and there but I seldom played as him growing up with Street Fighter. Also, I tried to write out Michelangelo to be as unpredictable as possible, and even utilized both movesets from Injustice 2 and TMNT: Tournament Fighters, and even some moves from Konami's TMNT arcade games. I'd like to think that I conveyed a balance between Guile and Michelangelo, as I wanted it to show as a hard fought battle for Michelangelo. Hopefully, I did just that and I'd like to think that for Michelangelo, it was a pretty big win for him based on the fact that Guile is notoriously known for how tough and even brutal he can be even in the context of Street Fighter. Now, this match up was supposed to be different from what IDW presented. In the official TMNT vs. Street Fighter, and this also extends to the Playmates Toys as well, it always seemed to be Michelangelo going against Chun-Li. Now, I didn't want to do that because it's been done and I felt that IDW and Capcom did it rather poorly because in the comic, IDW Michelangelo didn't want to fight Chun-Li for whatever reason which was unspecified, although I think that he was smitten with her and that might have been a reason why he didn't want to fight. So now, you have Donatello taking Michelangelo's place, and keep in mind... this is the Mirage Donatello, who has been known to fight Triceraton warriors, giant stone Golems, knock out super intelligent Dinosaurs with his bo-staff or even his fists and feet, and in the Hall of Lost Legends story, even fight and defeat creatures and warriors from cultural mythology and folklore. So whatever preconceived notions about Donatello you have from the various incarnations of the character, leave them at the door, and remember this is the Mirage version. Also, it would be interesting to see how the fighting styles between Donatello and Chun-Li would clash. Remember-- ENVIRONMENT IS ALSO A FACTOR IN THIS BATTLE! Something I feel like people need to seriously consider. For new readers who are just hopping onto this storyline here, I suggest you look at the Mirage TMNT Respect Thread to see what the Mirage Turtles are more than capable of. -- Donatello (Mirage) is low tier superhuman in terms of physicals. Think Above Peak Human due to his mutation. Donatello (Mirage) possesses a new Electro Bo-Staff, Electro Shurikens, Explosive Shurikens, Kunai and Modified Laser Equipped Roomba. Chun-Li is in Peak Conditioning due to her training. Chun-Li has her moveset from the Street Fighter games. Battle Environment Map

Colonel Guile pumped his left arm out three quick times before he followed up with a mighty straight punch from his right, intending on hitting his opponent with his calloused and hardened knuckles. Michelangelo quickly ducked and weaved from the incoming jabs, but he swerved out of the path of the incoming straight before he side-stepped in towards the Airforce colonel and spun his nunchaku within his right hand, twirling the weapon upwards for his opponent’s chin and then responded by quickly jabbed his left arm outward as he took aim for Guile’s face. Guile quickly hopped back from the incoming nunchaku and leaned to his left to evade the incoming fist. Michelangelo then pounced forward, and he quickly swung his arms apart, moving his twin nunchaku across as he intended to strike away at Guile’s mid-section with the chained weapons, but the Colonel quickly hopped back away from the wily Turtle as fast as he could. Michelangelo immediately rushed ahead, and he swung the chained clubs gripped in his right hand across over to the left and back across to the right as he aimed to strike at Guile’s mid-section. Quickly, Guile moved his arms out and blocked the double strike, but Michelangelo snapped his left arm down and struck down onto the top of Guile’s head with the nunchaku in his left hand. But Guile was no stranger to pain and being trained in hand-to-hand combat by the United States military had prepared him to take punishment. And even so much as deal it out. The United States Airforce colonel quickly swung his left arm in an uppercut fashion, intending on striking the wily reptile in his chin but then he immediately followed up by turning in a spin to his right and arced his right fist across in a spinning back fist as he aimed for Michelangelo’s face. The young Turtle leaned back away from the incoming uppercut, and he hunched down to avoid the spinning back fist from his seemingly more experienced opponent. Quickly, Guile leaned forward and snapped his left leg out in a front kick for the Turtle’s mid-section, but Michelangelo quickly snapped his right leg out, padding his foot against the top of Guile’s shin to prevent himself from being impacted by the kick. The wily Turtle immediately then swung his right and left arm across as he took aim for Guile’s head, his nunchaku whipping through the air swiftly to deal mighty impacts onto the colonel. Guile quickly moved his arms back, squaring himself as he took the brunt of the nunchaku attacks that Michelangelo immediately piled onto him. Immediately, the Colonel focused on his internal flow of energy and channeled it down to flow to his legs. He pushed himself to a leap all while throwing his body weight back and kicked his right leg upwards while somersaulting backward through the air. Michelangelo felt a violent impact moving into his chin all while a brief burst of energy moved through the air as Guile landed his Flash onto the wily red masked Turtle. An intense pain shot through Michelangelo’s chin followed by a pounding throb that moved through his head. A brief feeling of weightlessness overcame his senses until there was a sudden pull followed by heavy impact as his body hit the ground. Michelangelo had been subject to various forms of pain, but he hadn’t been expecting the Colonel to do something or even move like that. Michelangelo fought to shake off the brief dizziness and the pain which his chin currently was going through, and he flipped himself back onto his feet. If he was going to have any chance of claiming a win here, he would have to be as focused as he could be and fight as hard as he can. Guile squared his shoulders and raised his fists, keeping his arms closed for tight guarding before he quickly zeroed right in on the Turtle. As he neared Michelangelo, Guile jabbed his left arm outward several times for the Turtle’s head before he turned with his weight and swung his right arm for a strong hook punch. Michelangelo quickly weaved from side to side before ducking down underneath the incoming hook punch. Guile shifted with a step, pumping his right and left arm out in two quick straights only to follow up with a shift forward and he swiftly swung his right leg diagonally up to the left in a high roundhouse kick for the red masked ninja’s head, now moving with the momentum of the kick and turned in a spin to arc his left leg back across in a spinning back wheel kick. Michelangelo raised his arms up, blocking the man’s calloused and hardened knuckles directly with his forearms and widened his eyes when the roundhouse kick came for him rather swiftly. Instinctively, Michelangelo leaned back from the incoming kicks, feeling the breeze as Guile’s boots passed by him. Michelangelo spun the chained nunchaku in his right hand vertically upward, spinning and exchanging the handles between his fingertips as he intended to strike the weapon for Guile’s chin before he swung the weapon down for the top of the Airforce Colonel’s head. As if immediately on reflex, Guile swerved to his right and left, quickly evading the incoming attacks but Michelangelo tensed up his leg muscles and pounced close to his opponent. Seizing this moment of an opening, the red masked wily Turtle snapped his left and right leg out, one after the other and successfully managed to slam his feet directly into Guile’s chest. “HNNGH!” Guile grunted as he stumbled back from the kicks. Michelangelo dropped onto his carapace, but he quickly threw his weight back and forward, kick flipping himself back to being upright once again. The red masked ninja now spun his nunchaku with speed and skill before swinging them down and tucking then underneath his arms, now shifting with a step forward and quickly ran in towards the military man. Guile, seeing the Turtle coming in towards him, needed to change things up a bit. He focused on the internal flow of energy within himself, now directing it to move through his arms and into his hands and wrists. He quickly swung both arms forward, fast enough to break the speed barrier and unleashed a powerful burst of yellow colored energy towards the red masked wily ninja. “SONIC BOOM!” And like its namesake, the technique produced a loud explosion of noise as it moved towards Michelangelo. The mutant Red Ear Slider widened his eyes at this and only had a split second to decide how he would cope with something like this. But he decided to trust his instincts, and now leaned forward while running. Quickly, he dropped to his plastron and threw his weight to the right to make himself spin while he pulled his arms, legs and head into his shell, all while sliding at Guile’s feet. “WHAT?!” Guile shouted in surprise. Suddenly, a mighty impact slammed into his feet and Guile suddenly found the world surrounding him turning upside down. He widened his eyes as he watched the Turtle seemingly jump out of his shell and flipped onto his feet. Guile moved his arms down, intending to protect his head as he hit the ground. “YES!” Donatello cheered as he pumped his right hand, expressing his support for his younger sibling. Leonardo nodded his head in acknowledgement of Michelangelo’s unpredictability. While he and his brothers had trained under Master Splinter, Leonardo always saw the latent talent which his youngest brother possessed. As a matter of fact, Leonardo valued it and even appreciated how Michelangelo always seemed to somehow bring a level of creativity and unpredictability to his way of fighting. And now he was seeing that creativity and unpredictability at play here, and he would do well to learn from Michelangelo’s way of fighting. “Donatello… Be sure to keep that neat move Michelangelo just did in mind.” Leonardo whispered to the intellectual Turtle. Donatello blinked as he now turned his head to Leonardo, quickly nodding in agreement. Chun-Li widened her eyes at shock what she had seen, Ken blinked his eyes in complete and utter surprise at the maneuver which Guile’s opponent had deployed. Ryu just raised his hand and rubbed his chin, slowly nodding his head in approval of the mutant Red Ear slider’s approach in getting around Guile’s Sonic Boom. So far, these strange and unusual opponents seemed to show some level of skill and experience, and even creativity. Guile placed his hands to the ground and quickly pushed himself to his knees, only to now widen his eyes in surprise to see the Turtle coming right at him once more— now thrusting his right arm outward and he slammed his fist directly into Guile’s left eye. The Airforce Colonel now felt a powerful impact moving into his eye, the pain now manifesting as a sharp pain as it moved through his eye and into the back of his head. A wash of pain jarred his senses as he registered what just happened but before he could get his head cleared, Michelangelo turned with his weight, and he swung his left arm across in a quick hook punch and impacted his knuckles hard into the side of Guile’s face. The wily Turtle then pumped his right arm in an uppercut, firmly striking his knuckles directly into Guile’s chin, forcing the Airforce Colonel’s chin to jut upward, causing Guile’s teeth to grind harshly. Guile had been through many fights, from military operations to battles on the streets. He had fought all kinds of opponents in his life, some being the most unusual which the world had to offer him. From Yogi gurus who could stretch their limbs, to green skinned feral men who could produce electricity, and even a powerful dictator who drew upon the negative aspects of his soul. Surely, a kid who was dressed up in a Turtle costume, couldn’t be much different. But if Guile only knew the truth. Michelangelo quickly then turned with his weight as he then swung his right leg diagonally up to the right, performing a high roundhouse kick and swiftly landed the kick, impacting Guile hard onto his face and left a red print on his face. Michelangelo then pulled his right leg back before he snapped it out for Guile’s forehead, performing a high sidekick. Fighting through the pain, Guile swerved his upper body and moved his arms out, now taking hold of Michelangelo’s legs within his arms only to pull the Turtle in towards himself. Michelangelo, briefly losing his footing, suddenly felt himself dropping back but now found himself caught once more in Guile’s grasp as the Airforce Colonel wrapped his arms around Michelangelo’s mid-section and forced him to turn. Michelangelo, frantically turned with his hips, moving his arms up and bent his elbows out— striking them directly into Guile’s face to escape from his grasp. Using the strength in his legs to do most of the lifting, Guile heaved Michelangelo up and arched back, now allowing gravity to do most of the work as he worked to slam the Turtle with a mighty suplex. Michelangelo felt his carapace hitting the ground, and pressure moved through his back and into his chest. He widened his eyes in discomfort and pain as he gasped out, the air being forced from his lungs. The wily Turtle coughed as he worked to regain his breath, but suddenly now felt a pair of hands grabbing onto the edge of his shell and pulled him to his feet. Guile then pulled Michelangelo in closer to himself once more, and he thrust his right knee up, directly for Michelangelo’s face. But Michelangelo moved his forearms down and blocked the knee. Feeling a surge of strength flowing through, the red masked wily Turtle arched himself and he threw his arms up— breaking free from Guile’s hold. Surprised at the Turtle’s strength, Guile quickly regained his composure and clenched his fists, only to jab his left and right arm outward before hooking his left arm across and following with an uppercut from his right. Michelangelo gripped his twin nunchaku within his hands, now readying himself to use them but he quickly positioned his forearms upward and swung them inward, blocking Guile’s initial punches but immediately took the uppercut to the chin. Pain shot through Michelangelo’s head as he stumbled back, but Guile shifted with a step and he pushed himself to a leap, now turning with his weight and snapped his right leg out in a brief jumping kick for Michelangelo’s mid-section. Michelangelo hopped back from the Airforce Colonel, allowing his opponent’s foot to hit nothing but air. In retaliation, the mutant Red Ear Slider then swung the nunchaku within his right hand downward, intending to strike Guile’s head but the Colonel raised his left arm up with his forearm positioned defensively, blocking the chained club directly head on. Guile again focused on the energy within himself, and he directed to flow down to his legs. He immediately threw his weight backwards and up, kicking his right leg up once more as he performed another Flash Kick. But Michelangelo was getting a feeling of the flow of this fight, and seeing Guile preparing for another attack, he tensed up his leg muscles and he threw himself upwards and back, somersaulting away from his opponent just barely enough, only to now land flat onto his hands. As Guile was on the descent from his Flash Kick, Michelangelo catapulted himself forward and kicked both feet out, slamming them directly into Guile’s solar plexus. Both soon came in their descent, with Michelangelo landing onto his feet and Guile slamming down onto his back. Guile pushed himself to his feet, rising to his full height and Michelangelo snapped himself into his fighting stance, gripping his nunchaku within his hands firmly as he readied to deal with a rather stubborn opponent. Guile focused on the energy within himself and directed it to move through his arms only to swing them inward, firing off another Sonic Boom right at Michelangelo. Quickly he rushed right in at the Turtle, shoulders squared, and arms raised for defensive positioning. The mutant Terrapin shifted forward and ran towards his opponent, his nunchaku spinning furiously with speed and skill as he closed the gap between himself and his opponent’s projectile. But the red masked ninja then had leaned forward with his right shoulder, and he dropped to a roll in order to move underneath the Sonic Boom before rising to his feet and continued with his run. The Turtle and the Airforce Colonel clashed, as Guile then snapped out with a strong straight from his right before turning in a spin and swinging with a back fist from his left. Michelangelo swiftly hunched down from the straight, barely evading Guile’s fist as it moved above him. When the spinning backfist came for him, Michelangelo raised his right arm up and clenched it firmly, blocking the attack directly with his forearm and bicep. In retaliation, the wily red masked ninja then swung the nunchaku in his left hand horizontally across from right to left as he aimed it for Guile’s face, exchanging the handles within his fingers as he did so. Following up with the previous attack, Michelangelo then swung the pair in his right hand vertically downward and then up. Guile leaned back from the first attack with the nunchaku but then felt a powerful sharp pain moving down the top of his head as Michelangelo’s nunchaku slammed onto the top of his skull, before another sharp pain moved through his chin as the second attack landed. Michelangelo then had twirled his nunchaku in a figure eight motion, striking the chained weapons along Guile’s shoulders, arms, mid-section and hip area. The Airforce Colonel was now feeling the pressure piling up onto him, and agony shot through his very body. Fighting through the pain, Guile quickly shifted forward and snapped his left leg out in a side kick, forcing Michelangelo to hop back and slap his left hand down, batting down at the incoming kick. Again, Guile shifted forward with another snapping side kick, but Michelangelo deflected the attack once more. Immediately, the Colonel jabbed his right and left out three quick times, but Michelangelo raised his arms and swung them inward, using his forearms to block and divert the incoming punches away from him before he retaliated by turning with his weight and swinging his right leg high across to the left with a high roundhouse, smacking his foot hard into the side of Guile’s face, causing the experienced fighter to now falter. Guile shook his head from side to side, fighting off the nausea which he was now suddenly going through. Drawing upon the deepest reserves of strength and energy within himself, Guile moved his arms back as his wrists began to emanate a yellow glow. He swung his arms across and forward, now unleashing a powerful burst of energy which surrounded and encircled Guile, now threatening to strike at Michelangelo and catch him in the spinning energy. “SONIC HURRICANE!” Michelangelo widened his eyes in absolute and utter shock, but the red masked wily Turtle now pounced forward before he pulled his arms and legs along with his head into his shell. He slid across the ground whilst spinning, now hitting Guile again on the ankles once more, causing the veteran to have his attack interrupted as he fell forward. Michelangelo jumped out from his shell, and now turned to watch as Guile fell. Immediately, he spun the nunchaku within his right hand, and he now leaned forward only to push himself to a leap and he swung his right arm upward while spinning his chained weapon, hitting Guile directly onto his chest and then his chin, sending the Airforce Colonel flying upward. “RISING THUNDER!” Michelangelo shouted. Guile’s head rang with immediate pain, and the veteran felt a sense of weightlessness before he saw the arena all around him coming down. He hit the ground, flat on his back and suddenly… blackness. Michelangelo landed feet first to the ground, now padding onto his feet. He spun his nunchaku within his hands, twirling them in a figure eight motion before swinging them down and catching them underneath his arms. He maintained a fighting posture, ready for his opponent to get back into the fight. But there was no immediate movement. Michelangelo had secured a victory against the competing team by eliminating his opponent. “WHAT?!” Chun-Li expressed her immediate surprise. Guile was one of the most skilled and persistent fighters she had ever fought alongside with, and quite powerful in his own right. But to see one of these younger fighters having defeated him spoke volumes about their level of skill. Whoever had trained them, did so very well. Ken widened his eyes at the outcome of the battle. His brother-in-law having been beaten by these young fighters in what he had believed were Turtle costumes but, after seeing the way two of them fought… And with his own experience, and the lingering pain he still was feeling… He couldn’t help but be surprised. Defeating someone like Guile was no small or easy feat. Michelangelo then turned and moved over to his brothers, raising his left arm up to pump it in celebration of his own victory. Donatello smiled brightly to his brother and nodded in enthusiasm to Michelangelo, whereas Leonardo walked over to the younger Turtle, and placed his hands onto his brother’s shoulders and gave a subtle nod to his brother. Michelangelo stared at his elder sibling, nodding back to him as he saw the approval of his brother clear as day. “You did very well, Michelangelo… You’ve really come a long way.” Michelangelo grinned as he turned around and now looked over to the remaining opponents of the other team. Where Raphael had fallen, Michelangelo managed to prevail. He watched as the three other fighters now were stunned at his accomplishment, if anything it made him feel a little better about his own level of skill, and even quite proud of himself. He blinked when he had noticed the Chinese woman in the blue qi pao now stepping forward, clasping her right fist in the palm of her left hand and bowed respectfully. “Well, now that Ken and Guile have seemingly had their fun, I hope you boys wouldn’t mind in finding a dance partner with me.” Chun-Li smiled warmly as she stood from her bow. Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello looked at one another before looking down to Raphael, who remained unconscious for the moment. Michelangelo motioned his left hand out, gesturing either Donatello or Leonardo to go one ahead. Both Leonardo and Donatello looked at one another, but it was Leonardo who would give up his chance to go next as he motioned for the intellectual Turtle to take his chance. As Donatello was about to step onward, the elder sibling now moved his right hand out and placed it upon Donatello’s shoulders, stopping him briefly only to speak to him in a whispered voice. “I hope you learned some tricks from watching Mike. These guys are good. So, you need to make them fight your fight. You’ve got the advantage of reaching with your bo, Don. So, make capital on that. And it’s also a defensive weapon too.” Leonardo spoke. “Yeah, I know. We have the master, you know. Plus, this staff also has electric shock capabilities, remember?” Donatello whispered. “I hadn’t forgotten. Still, no reason to be complacent. You’ve got any other gadgets?” “Umm… My electro and exploding shurikens and the Roomba. It shoots lasers.” “Make whatever use you can, Don. But remember to put work with skill too. Remember, you’ve come a long way too. You beat that big Canadian cyborg with that beam cannon in his chest with skill. You can do it again.” “Check! Got it!” Donatello nodded as he now stepped forward to meet his opponent. Donatello now jogged his way to where Chun-Li stood waiting for her opponent. The red masked intellectual Turtle moved his right arm up and he took hold of his metal bo-staff within his grasp and then drew it from its harness, now spinning it as he motioned it down and tucked it underneath his right arm. The red masked ninja bowed forward and he took in a light breath of air through his nostrils and released an anxious sigh from within. Chun-Li smiled warmly to the Turtle and gave an encouraging nod to him. “I hope you’re as talented as your friend with the chucks! Show me what you’ve got!” Chun-Li kept her smile as she snapped into her Kenpo fighting stance. “You’ll find out I’m full of surprises!” Donatello chuckled. Donatello wrapped both hands around the center of his electric bo-staff, now spinning the weapon before he snapped himself into his bojutsu fighting stance, now keeping eye contact with the Chinese fighter. Chun-Li and Donatello circled around one another, sizing each other up before they rushed to clash with one another.

Fun match, hadn't heard of Hippo. Looking him up I think I will go with him.

LOL. Poland's only hope would be if their karate master Prime Minister caught Jean off guard.

I didn't know either until I had already picked the match and was looking through images. Figured I might as well incorporate into the story since it wasn't really a fight but still a good display of their powers.

Is it possible to delete images entered into the alt image folder? I added some images accidentally before resizing them to 300x300 and then added the appropriate ones.

2 hours remain to enter!

Next batch of new characters making themselves known. Ed encounters a fighter like he's never seen before. Pickle. Mama Odie is out to make them 'dig a little deeper' fighting until they both collapse. She needs them both down or they will come after her.

Agreed that was some master creativity. Don't know either of them but Nordstrom seems the better pick.

I'll go with Leah. The Force is with her.

This will be a basic brawl

I absolutely love the setup. Great job!

I'm going for the Cardassians they're weapons are actually gun shaped vs the staffs which I think is a huge X factor, not to mention Star Trek weapons tend to be quite powerful on certain settings.
