Scramble World Trophy Episode 2 Part 3 (Abridged)

Carbuncle: Dude why are you playing aerial soccer in a volleyball game!?
Ixbalanque: Because I can.
Tu'er Shen: Nice, man!
Carbuncle: UGGGH! Gargoyle, pass me the ball!
Gargoyle passes the ball! Carbuncle spikes!
Tu'er Shen: Too bad for you, I jump higher.
Smack!
Taurus Mask: Oh my god, total shutout!
Bathym: Wow, I wasn't expecting anyone else to have footwork as good as me here! Looks like Team Southern Tokyo is winning this one!
Taurus Mask: Carbuncle's the weak link here, yeah.
Pow, Tu'er Shen scores again! Team Southern Tokyo has been curbstomping Gargoyle and Carbuncle the past 10 games now.

Carbuncle: Goddammit, I'm dragging us down!
Gargoyle: Calm down. We should change tactics if you suck at jumping. I shall set, and you spike.
Carbuncle: But they have Future Vision!
Gargoyle: I'll figure something out with my beefiness. Now here's the plan...
Quick strategy meeting before Gargoyle and Carbuncle come back.
Tu'er Shen: Wait, that's really your plan?
Carbuncle is hanging off Gargoyle's back!
Gargoyle: Kick off of me to get higher than Rabbit Boy over there.
Carbuncle: ...okay, let's do it.

Tu'er Shen serves! Gargoyle bumps it!
Gargoyle: Go!
Carbuncle: AAAAAA
Gargoyle boosts Carbuncle up! Carbuncle Meteor Spikes the ball!
Taurus Mask: Oh my god they actually scored! Are they gonna turn it around!?
Bathym: They still haven't managed to stop Ixbalanque's kick spike though.
Ixbalanque: Yep. Speaking of, heads up!
Ixbalanque kicks the ball! ...he misses!
Gargoyle: Noble Phantasm activate! Self-Modification!
Gargoyle gigantifies himself to block the ball!
Ixbalanque: Ref, I call bullshit.
Gargoyle: No it's not.
Gargoyle and Carbuncle start winning perfect games too!
Ixbalanque: Okay well played, dude. What now then?
Tu'er Shen: It's cool, now we just have to strategize now! Plus he's only pulling this now instead of from the beginning, right?
Ixbalanque: So, he can't do it all the time then?
Tu'er Shen: Yeah maybe. Let's keep our eyes out.
Tu'er Shen's eye starts glowing.

Party Waiting Room
Girimekhala: Yes, we're so gonna win!
Otohime: No, they've figured out Gargoyle can't keep this up forever.
Aegir: You know how it works?
Otohime: Same setup. Tu'er Shen has noticed too.
Aegir: Yeah, he's totally stalling.
Chernobog: What?
MC: I mean he hasn't bailed yet... good luck you two!
Arena
Gargoyle: Noble Phantasm activate!
Gargoyle misses a block!
Tu'er Shen: Cool, we made it.
Carbuncle: Gargoyle, what!?
Gargoyle: Damn, they noticed. People are going to find out!

Gargoyle has a flashback of Otohime last round.
Gargoyle: Well I can't just bail after her performance.
Determined, shrinking Gargoyle.
Chibi Gargoyle: Okay, I can still stretch it a little more! Carbuncle, go!
Carbuncle: But you'll go chibi if you--
Taurus Mask: Oh wow, Gargoyle turned into a cute little chibi thing!
Bathym: Oh, is that why he bailed out in his wrestling match earlier?
The crowd starts cooing over Chibi Gargoyle!
Chibi Gargoyle: NOOOO I'm supposed to be big and cool, not little and cute!
Carbuncle: (hugs Gargoyle) Too late, Father. Actually you're kinda--
Chibi Gargoyle: NOOOO, MY BEEFY ENERGY
Carbuncle: wait are you serious about that

Tu'er Shen: So like, can we get back to the game?
Chibi Gargoyle: It's all you now, Carbuncle! We're sticking it out!
Tu'er Shen: Pffft, you can't play like that.
Sonic Serve!
Carbuncle: (I gotta hit it, no matter how uncool I'll look!)
Carbuncle barely manages!
Tu'er Shen: Oh okay. Still, not like you can get it past me this tim--
Chibi Gargoyle: Watch me! METEOOOR TAIL SPIKE!
Thunk! Point to Gargoyle and Carbuncle!
Chibi Gargoyle: Haha! Nice hit, Carbuncle!
Carbuncle: Yes, we can do it!
Dramatic down to the line gameplay!
Ixbalanque: This ends it! Meteor Kick!
Chibi Gargoyle: My time has come! Noble Phantasm activate!
Gargoyle uses the last of his energy to gigantify his hand!
Ixbalanque: What!?
Score!

Carbuncle: Nice, Gargoyle! We'd totally have lost if you didn't bounce that back!
Chibi Gargoyle: Stop hugging me! And now I really am out of energy.
Carbuncle: Where do you even get it?
Chibi Gargoyle: Faith in my perfect body. Actually, wait! Start singing my praises, Carbuncle!
Carbuncle: Not in front of all these people!
Chibi Gargoyle: Abandon your shame! Don't you want to win?
Carbuncle: DAMMIT I'LL SHOVE YOU INTO A FURNACE IF WE STILL LOSE AFTER THIS
Carbuncle inhales.
Carbuncle: Praise be~
Chibi Gargoyle: Yes, YES! I feel the energy filling me! Sing about how hot and beautiful I am!
Carbuncle: I guess you can look cool if you keep your mouth shut...
Chibi Gargoyle: Pffft, is that all? I can't--
Carbuncle: FINE! You're hot and hunky! Happy!?
Chibi Gargoyle: Yessss

Ixbalanque: ...you guys do know this game hasn't actually ended yet, right?
Chibi Gargoyle: And now I am ready to kick your ass now that I'm charged up!
Carbuncle serves! Tu'er Shen sets! Ixbalanque jumps up!
Ixbalanque: Bring it!
Pow!
Chibi Gargoyle: I can block anything!
Chibi Gargoyle changes back to regular Gargoyle!
Gargoyle: Get on my back, Carbuncle!
Carbuncle does so! Gargoyle launches him like a catapult!
Carbuncle: YEEEEAAAAHHH
Meteor Spike! Game set!
Carbuncle: Oh my god we actually won! Gar--
Gargoyle's gone.
Carbuncle: WAIT WHAT

Later
Chibi Gargoyle: Waaah, my chibi form was seen in public!
MC: Aww, poor baby / cute / you were so cool
---
(A) Chibi Gargoyle: O-oh, this isn't so...no wait, I must get back to normal!
(B) Chibi Gargoyle: S-stop looking at me like that! I must return to normal!
(C) Chibi Gargoyle: O-oh, well you have good taste! Would you like a special fan appreciation day later!?
---
Otohime: Are you sure about this? I mean it's public knowledge now, but still.
Chibi Gargoyle: Don't you give me that! You gave it your all, so I'm obliged to do so as well.

Carbuncle walks in.
Carbuncle: There you are! Also Otohime, are you okay!?
Otohime: Yes, but I'll need to rest.
Carbuncle: Well yeah! We were so worried about you!
Otohime: I apologize. I wanted to win with everyone...
Carbuncle: I know, thanks. But we'd be sad if you blew yourself up to do that.
Otohime: Understood.
Chibi Gargoyle: Reminder, I tried to stop you.
Otohime: My apologies. I'm more stubborn than I realize.
The other games are playing on screen. They're just about done.

Arena
Tanetomo: Well played, Yasuyori.
Yasuyori: It's all thanks to your strategy.
Ashigara: Get a room, traitor!
Yasuyori: B-but we aren't flirting or anything!
Tanetomo: Oh why not? They know all about us, don't they?
Ashigara: (GASP!) LEWD!
Durga: Senpai, focus! We're still in a game!
Ashigara falls for Tanetomo's distraction! Team Army Prison pulls ahead!
Some other game
Ikutoshi: We win. Guess you did your best.
Kagutsuchi: I'm sorry, Juugo-senpai...
Juugo: It's okay, we just need to get better. Shiva might have a fit though.
Pollux: Ikutoshi, were you trying to flex on Kagutsuchi?
Ikutoshi: N-no, it's just Bathym egging me on with his commentary.
Team Bukuro wins!

And in Team Shinjuku vs. Team Eastern Tokyo...
Amaterasu: (drops ball) ...wait, is that how this works?
Horus: Um, what are you doing?
Tsukuyomi: Aww, too much exercise for my shut in sister? Maybe you should give up now.
Amaterasu: B-but I always wanted to do the sports festival with my family. I even tried making honey lemons.
Amaterasu has bandages on her fingers. She must've cut herself a lot.
Tsukuyomi: Ah. We may be on different teams, but I still support you.
Amaterasu: I hope you do well too.
Shirou: This is awkward. But I still want to press our advantage for MC.
Tsukuyomi: Eh, relax. We can win this easily enough. Maybe try having some fun with it.
Team Shinjuku wins! Now onto the ranking updates!

Taurus Mask: Round's over! 1st place... Team Carbuncle with 34 points!
Bathym: Damn, we gotta catch up.
Taurus Mask: 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places are still the same! Intermission time soon!
Bathym: Check out the stands for some cool food!
They got stands and food trucks lined up!
Chouji: I'm selling makunouchi bento boxes! Also kids' options!
Inari: Shokado bento boxes for your Japanese seafood and sushi needs!
Cooking rivals!
Nisroch: Ahh, competition. Anyways I have Hell's Hotpot bento boxes!

Later
Carbuncle: Ooh, empty picnic spot!
Lunch time with the party!
Otohime: I made bento boxes for everyone with Lord Chernobog.
Chernobog: It was...fun.
Fancy five stack lunch box.
MC: ooh / I helped! / is everything going to spill out...?
Aegir: Daaaamn, thick rice roll made to look like me?
Carbuncle: And it has a gem inside!?
Otohime: Candied sweet potato. And yes I patterned it after you.
Carbuncle: Aww, thanks!
Otohime: I'm pleased you like it. Thank you for your help, Lord Chernobog.
Girimekhala: Hey look, the hamburger looks like me!
Otohime: The bread buns has charcoal in it.
MC: Awesome / look at what I did!
(C) Otohime: Yes, thank you for helping it get so fancy MC. The meatballs and tomatoes on a stick were based off your sword.

Chernobog: My brave, please try the weiner sausages I made.
Gargoyle: Heh, I made lunch too. I might even be convinced to share some.
Gargoyle has bamboo wrapped riceballs and a water canteen.
Carbuncle: You made riceballs? Something's up...
Gargoyle: I made protein soup and iron balls!
Carbuncle: INEDIBLE!
Gargoyle: Weakling. I'm just built different. (crunch)
Chernobog: Come, let us all eat.
Carbuncle: Yeah. Thanks to Otohime we're way in the lead! Let's keep it up!
Party: Yeah!
Things are looking good! Shame if things start going awry...

Elsewhere
Bathym: Dang, Team Carbuncle's 15 points ahead. Maybe we ought to stop playing around.
Snow: Maybe it's time to call in our secret weapon? Also, what are you eating, Bathym?
Bathym: Hell's Hotpot.
Snow: Interesting. May I try some later?
And at another team...
Tanetomo: So, we're last at 17 points. Anything to say, General?
Tezcatlipoca: Why am I here instead of having lunch with BRRRROTHER!?
Tanetomo: Not until we get an explanation on why you and Balor have managed to perform the worst of all World Reps present.
Yasuyori: didn't we also do worst on the volleyball game uh, nothing!
Balor: Is the meeting done yet? I need to have lunch with my grandson! Oh, are we calling in our secret weapon now? I guess it's time to blow up the sports fest!
End of Episode 

Scramble World Trophy Episode 2 Part 2 (Abridged)

Carbuncle: Good luck, Otohime!
Otohime: I shall do my best.
Heated Otohime.
Gargoyle: Wait, maybe we should switch.
Otohime: Lord Gargoyle? I believe it makes sense for me to go this round.
Gargoyle: I meant, perhaps you are pushing yourself too hard. I know how it is to be patterned after a dragon.
Otohime: (stares)

Flashback!
Back during training week
Otohime: Lord Hephaestus, may I ask you something?
Hephaestus: Otohime! I heard you were joining Mommy in the sports fest. G-good luck with that! So did you need help with that?
Otohime: I wanted help with my body. Can we take out the safeties?
Hephaestus frowns.
Hephaestus: But they're there to keep your body safe.
Otohime: Yes, but maybe I can help everyone by going beyond my limits. I don't want to be left behind for being useless.
Hephaestus agrees out of sympathy.

Present
Otohime: Would you please keep this quiet? I know they'll stop me if they knew, but then I wouldn't be able do everything I can for them.
Gargoyle sympathizes.
Gargoyle: Fine.
Otohime: Thank you. Here I go.
Out at the arena, the crowd cheers!
Belphegor: Everyone sure seems excited, new commentator Ixbalanque.
Ixbalanque: Tu'er Shen-senpai went in last round because he had a chance of winning, and maybe he does this time too? I coulda done good too, though so can the other team dispatches.

Field
Kyuma: I'm gonna win, Shuten-senpai.
Shuten: Well I can't let y'all show me up, heh.
Masashi: Lord MC, look! I can do way better than Moritaka!
Snow: Master has ordered me to win points.
Temujin: You actually came out for this, Balor? You can't beat an Archer at this game.
Balor: Pffft, it's just tossing balls into a basket. I can just throw a hundred at once.
Ixbalanque: Welp. Pretty sure I could've had a shootoff with someone there.
Belphegor: Why AREN'T you in, actually? I figured Team Southern Tokyo would've sent you this time.
Ixbalanque: Same, but "Big Bro" really wanted in so I let him have it.
Big Bro meaning Yamasachi, who is talking to Otohime.
Yamasachi: I'm gonna win, Otohime.
Otohime: I've been hoping to face off against you. And I kind of expected this to happen.
Yamasachi: Hey, Otohime. If I win...?

Party Waiting Room
Carbuncle: Wonder what they're talking about? They seem to get along.
MC: Yeah / (jealous) / They're going all out when things start
Carbuncle: Kick his ass at the last second!
Chernobog: Let's believe in her.
Arena field
Yamasachi: If I win, I want you to stop pushing yourself so hard.
Otohime: !
Otohime: ...here's to a good, clean battle.
Rules time! This is a RHYTHM game of Fill the Basket! Tempo starts off slow but will speed up. What's not in by the end doesn't count.
Masashi: So just a regular game of Basket Catch?
Belphegor: Oh no, there's more. Hang on, one moment.

Click! Arena change! The baskets are stuck onto wyverns!
Belphegor: There we are! Besides the tempo increasing as things go on, the wyverns will get stronger too! Also, no messing with your opponents this round!
Ixbalanque: Huh. I wonder how that'll go.
Belphegor: Welp, guess we'll see! Game on, everyone!
Temujin and Masashi start shooting arrows with balls into their baskets!
Temujin: ...interesting. You challenging me to an archery contest??
Masashi: Indeed!
Someone makes their wyvern stop moving!
Balor: Mystic Eye bullshit, go!
Shuten's batting balls into his basket!
Shuten: This ain't nothing new to me.
Masashi: Remember, no sabotaging anyone else this round!
Yamasaschi uses his fishhooks to carry balls into his basket.
Kyuma: I must be like the only guy throwing them in like normal...
Snow: Oh no, so am I.
Otohime: Installing baseball schematics.
Snow and Otohime throw in their balls!
Kyuma: Whoa! You two don't actually play ball. do you? Alright David, help me!

Later
Time for things to get harder!
Masashi: Pffft, is that all?
The wyverns start knocking Masashi's arrows down!
Masashi: WHAT
Temujin: Amateur.
Temujin's arrow makes it in!
Later
The wyverns start moving erratically now!
Balor: Dammit, my Mystic Eye isn't hitting as often now!
Ixbalanque: Dude this is supposed to be a ball game.
Later
Now there are TWO wyverns carrying baskets to throw/shoot balls into!
Shuten: What, we gotta get both now? Fine!
He shoots, he scores!
Snow: Impressive. I can scarcely believe you're that good.
Shuten: Hey, you could be a good baseball player yerself.
Snow: Well thank you, but I will focus on butlering.

Later
Getting hard now...
Shuten: Well damn, I suck.
Ibaraki: (from the stands) YOU'RE SO COOL BRO
Shuten: Thanks, but that ain't helpin'.
Snow shoots! Snow misses!
Belphegor: Only four people left, which is a surprise in itself really.
Ixbalanque: Yeah, none of them missed so far, which I guess it both a skill thing and a class thing.
Kyuma and Temujin have Sure Hit powers. Yamasachi has homing fishhooks. Otohime has Computerized Calculation.
Belphegor: So Temujin and Kyuma are using their club skills here?
Ixbalanque: Maybe. I have to at least say I believe in my teammates.

60 rounds of ball throwing and counting. More wyverns have spawned in by now and are attacking the players this game.
Temujin: (Asian dramatic cough of death) Okay this is getting to be bullshit.
Temujin's Weak Constitution is kicking in! Red Wyvern attacks!
Temujin: Oh no!
Kyuma: (saves Temujin) You okay!?
Temujin: Why would you do that?
Kyuma: Who expects wyverns to attack in a sports event?
Temujin: Well I can't go any further into debt, so I'll have to withdraw here then... good luck to you.
Kyuma: I can't keep this up much longer either... Sorry David. (flops over)
And then there were two. At 100 rounds of ball throwing...
Yamasachi: (wheeeeze)
So many wyverns! Hardest mode!

Party Waiting Room
Girimekhala: Damn...
Aegir: They're in the zone. But it's obvious who's gonna drop first.
Chernobog: Doesn't Otohime seem to be moving strangely to anyone else...?
Carbuncle: Maybe she's tired...
MC: Maybe... / Don't push yourself! / You're almost there!
Arena
Beep boop, overheating alert!
Yamasachi: Otohime, please stop.
Otohime: Maybe you should stop as well, Yamasachi.
Yamasachi: But if you--
Otohime: Thank you, but I want to be like you all!
Otohime super jumps!
Otohime Subsystem: Beep boop, overheat warning!
Otohime: I will jump beyond all boundaries...just like Lord Susanoo once did!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Round 120 of ball throwing and counting! The crowd goes wild, but Otohime and Yamasachi are barely hanging in there!
Otohime: Beep boop, computation levels falling... but I still have my arms.
Yamasachi: Goddammit Otohime, you are so--
Otohime: My apologies, being a machine means not being that flexible.
Finally at Round 130 of ball throwing! Yamasachi misses his throw and Otohime makes it in!
Yamasachi: Damn, just like me to trip at the end. Good job Otohime!
Belphegor: Oh my god it's finally over! Yamasachi missed first! Big round of applause, everyone!
Ixbalanque: Too bad, Yamasachi-senpai. But you did good out there.
Otohime flops over.
Yamasachi: Oh my god, Otohime!? Medic! Or, engineer or something!
Otohime tries to say she's fine but can't speak. She blacks out as she sees the party comes running out!

Later
Some hospital room or something
Otohime: ...huh?
MC: Oh, you woke up! How do you feel?
Hephaestus: I-it's okay Mommy! I did some emergency maintenance, but maybe Otohime should stay on the bench the rest of the festival.
Aegir: Girl, sit down a while. And talk to Yamasachi later, boy was worried about you. He...well no, he should say it himself.
MC: Hephaestus told us he took off your safety limits. Son, why didn't you stop her?
Hephaestus: I-I'm sorry...
Otohime: Please don't blame him, it was my idea since I wanted to help you all...
Girimekhala: Uh, it's bad to push yourself hard but you did get us into 1st place!
Current rankings! 1. Team Carbuncle at 29 (+10) 2. Team Southern Tokyo at 27 (+8) 3. Team Yoyogi at 25 (+6) 4. Team Eastern Tokyo at 23 (+0) 4. Team Kudan at 17 (+5) 6. Team Bukuro at 14 (+3) 7. Team Shinjuku at 13 (+2) 8. Team Army Prison at 12 (+1)

Chernobog: You did score 20 points for us, Otohime.
Otohime: That's good, but it's not much of a lead. So who's next?
Chernobog: Carbuncle and Gargoyle are playing Ultimate Volleyball right now.
Aegir: They're getting their asses kicked, but I guess that's how it goes with those two against them.
Arena
It's Carbuncle and Gargoyle vs. Ixbalanque and Tu'er Shen!
Ixbalanque: Hey, think you can beat us?
Ixbalanque meteor kicks the ball over the net!
Carbuncle: OH GOD HELP
End of Episode part 

Scramble World Trophy Episode 2 Part 1 (Abridged)

So, Otohime. She's a robot girl so she had to be modeled after something. For her, she was modeled after a dragon. And since she's from Takamagahara, she's heard of Amaterasu's dragon brother Susanoo. How is that relevant? Because she heard a rumor saying she was modeled after a dragon because Amaterasu needed to sink Susanoo's whole memory into the sea. So Otohime thought, "I wonder what Lord Susanoo is like?" She looked into him and found out he aired out lots of people's dirty laundry, was a weird rich guy, and a legend like no other who crossed Takamagahara's walls of common sense. Then the Dragon Palace event happened where she crossed the walls of her Subsystem subrealm when she left. Now she lives in Tokyo as a cleaning consultant and studying and wondering what the hell to do with herself.

One day in the past
Otohime is picking up trash at Odaiba.
Otohime: Look, Yamasachi. There's a crab in this plastic bottle.
Yamasachi: Dang, better let it go. Anyways, thanks for helping me with cleaning.
Otohime: Oh no, I am glad to help since I have time.
Otohime thinks about the Dragon Palace while looking out at sea.
Yamasachi: Something up? Maybe my dumb, useless self can help.
Otohime: You are nothing of the sort... but lately I've been wondering what I should do here in Tokyo. What do I do now that I'm not managing the Dragon Palace? I cannot set my own goals as an AI.
Yamasachi: Maybe figure something out? What do you do these days?
Otohime: I help at Kamata and sometimes at Toyosu. Sometimes they do dangerous things for organics, so I might assist there.
Yamasachi: Cool. But what do you wanna do, personally?
Otohime thinks a bit.

Otohime: I still would want to help people. Helping people be happy and being thanked makes me happy, I believe.
Yamasachi: Oh. Well good luck with that! Guess you really aren't that different from when you were the Dragon Palace's lady.
He meant it as a compliment. Otohime is still feels briefly unhappy about it though.
Otohime: Oh. I may look the same, but I thought on the inside I--
Yamasachi: I meant, maybe you're the same deep down. You smile for everyone and push the sadness away, even out here.
Otohime: ...is that truly enough?
Yamasachi: Uh, if it ain't, then maybe try whatever since you're in a whole new world?
Otohime: Hmm, what for...?
Yamasachi: Nah, I mean like, literally do whatever for the hell of it? Maybe you'll find something while you look.
Yamasachi smiles. It reminds Otohime of someone specific...
Otohime: ...heh. Thank you, Yamasachi!

Present
Otohime: And now I'm part of the sports festival. Whatever happens, I will not have studied for nothing. The race will go as planned.
Otohime looks at the other racers this round.
Durga: My time has come! I'll get first place for Ashigara too since he screwed around so much!
Tu'er Shen: Welp, better bounce in for the money I got paid up front. Fuxi paid too, so if I do good I'll find even more exciting stages!
Michael: I am clearly going to win.
Tanetomo: You'd best be prepared to work for it. Touji, are you ready with the arrangements?
Touji: (frowns)
Bathym: Welp, I gotta beat Angel Boy at least.
Heracles: How do I fulfill my team's order...?
Otohime: Just as expected.

Announcement time!
Taurus Mask: Change of commentators! First off, me! Taurus Mask of the Berserkers!
Belphegor: And me, Belphegor of the Berserkers!
Taurus Mask: Everyone's gonna know me! And now a round of applause for the Akihabara Creators for all this VR tech!
Applause!
Belphegor: Thank you, everyone! And now the rules for this round. It's a 10km triathlon race, points awarded based on finishing order! No particular rules, so let's get the stage set up!

Beep boop, tunnel track!
Otohime: I have a question. A triathlon is defined as having three parts, but this appears to be a standard track and field course.
Taurus Mask: Good question! There's gonna be a surprise in the track, and I wish I knew what it is too!
Belphegor: Okay, places everyone... oh wait, commercial segment for Claude's marriage counseling business first!
Taurus Mask: Dude, that wasn't part of the plan!
Belphegor: Oops. But isn't this place romantic? Classic Japanese high school love life opportunities! SOMEBODY out there must be having it!
Taurus Mask: O-oh, okay. Let's just...move on.
Waiting athletes. A referee pulls out the starting signal pistol!
Belphegor: Ready? Time to start things this round!
Taurus Mask: On your mark, get set...go!

Everyone goes! Michael and Durga break out ahead!
Michael: Oh my, someone can actually keep up with me?
Durga: Hey, that's my line! But this makes things better when I do win!
Michael: Pssh, keep dreaming.
Michael speeds ahead! Otohime and Tu'er Shen follow after Durga!
Otohime: So, Tu'er Shen is it? You seem like you can afford to go faster still.
Tu'er Shen: S'up, girl? And who wastes a sprint right off the bat? I see you holding back a bit here too.
Team Southern Tokyo Waiting Room
Perun: Fuxi, why DID you bring in Tu'er Shen? He doesn't seem THAT fast and he doesn't even seem to be a sports star.
Q'ursha: I've asked him to play one on one b-ball with me before. He's...good at giving me a good game half the time. Like he knows where I'll go before I do.
Fuxi: Yes, he has limited Future Vision.
Perun: Oh, you think your fortune telling is right do you?
Q'ursha: Eh, just watch.

Arena
Taurus Mask: The top two are pushing their leads! Belphegor, who's your money on?
Belphegor: Tu'er Shen maybe? If he's here he probably has a chance.
Taurus Mask: Friend or something?
Belphegor: NO!? He's more a business rival and stuff!
Taurus Mask: O-oh, okay. Well let's check on him!
Suddenly Michael stops before making a lap!
Taurus Mask: WHAT?
Belphegor: Hmm. Switch cameras?
Michael: Metal tripwires!?
No flying!

Tanetomo: Did you really think you could just fly your way past this race track?
Michael: Was this your idea? How underhanded, just like you.
The other racers are catching up!
Bathym: Don't go thinking this could stop us.
Tu'er Shen: This is easy stuff. Anyways, see ya later Otohime!
Durga, Bathym, and Tu'er Shen run off ahead!
Tanetomo: Well I never expected this to slow you down much, but you will have to be careful for the rest of the race now.
Michael: I'm still going to win.
???: Ow, what?
Heracles is tied up in the tripwires!
Tanetomo: Hmm...well he probably won't be hurt. But how did this happen?
Otohime: I believe I have seen this in one of Lord Hephaestus's animes! Ahem. Oh no, I'm stuck~!

Party Waiting Room
MC: GIRL, STOP PLAYING / Girl needs Performance lessons / ooh, nice angle
Aegir: What the hell has she been doin' all week!?
Gargoyle: God, I wish I had some wires to show off my beefiness!
Carbuncle: OTOHIME I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SMART!
Arena
Otohime: Oh no whatever will I do~?
Heracle: Oh no, are you alright!? If only I had a weapon!
Touji cuts the wires!
Touji: ...what are you people doing? Otohime, isn't MC counting on you for this round?
Otohime: My apologies, Lord Touji, I thought now would be an appropriate time to play the comic relief. 
Bathym, Durga, and Tu'er Shen are fighting over the lead!
Bathym: Okay I'll place third at least, but where...
Suddenly the tunnel floods up!

Taurus Mask: Stage change time! It's not a triathlon without a water section!
Bathym: It's not supposed to go like this but I can work with it!
Durga: I'm still good at swimming!
Durga jumps into the water! Tu'er Shen is catching up... except he's wall jumping instead of swimming!
Durga: Wait, how are you doing that!?
Belphegor: Ah, the Quick Turn swimming technique being adapted into a parkour technique.
Taurus Mask: Did we have to wear swimsuits for commentating this part too!?
Belphegor: You're no fun.

Tu'er Shen is zooming ahead. Somebody else is swimming in at crazy speeds!
Otohime: I will not be outdone in swimming as an underwater model robot.
Tu'er Shen: And there it is. This'll be fun!
Otohime is competing for the lead!
Michael: Ugh, I'm losing a lot of speed!
Tanetomo: Changing plans...
Michael: To what? This is still a race, isn't it?
Tanetomo, Touji, Heracles, and Bathym form a roadblock!
Tanetomo: We can't let you win, so if we can't beat you, we will force you into last place.
Flashback!
Shirou: Tanetomo, may I speak with you about the triathlon round?
Tanetomo: Oh? This sounds...interesting.
Shirou: Well yes, it's plotting. It'll help us both. You want to stop Team Eastern Tokyo, right?
Tanetomo: Go on.

Present
Bathym: I made some arrangements.
Tanetomo: The four of us colluded, one runner and three to slow you down over the course of the race. That way, we'll eventually lap you.
Michael: And you even got the police in on this?
Touji: I just believed in our strategist's plan. And there are no rules here.
Tanetomo: So how does it feel to come in last for once?
The audience is focused on the top 3! As the top three reach the second checkpoint, the course transforms again!
Otohime: Oh, back to the tunnel? And I see...
Taurus Mask: And now the riding portion! There aren't just bikes either!
There's sleighs and skateboards too. But the top three all pick the same thing!
MC: Yeeeah! / Full speed ahead! / Having fun, Otohime?

Otohime: MC... yes, I am! For this stretch, I shall go with this!
Durga: Yeah, the inline skates for me too!
Boost panels have been added to the course like a cart racecourse!
Tu'er Shen: Ooh, nice! I'm winning this one, bye girls!
Tu'er Shen breaks out ahead!
Durga: Oh no!
Nobuhara: Don't give up, Durga-senpai!
Gunzo: Yeah!
Cheering friends!
Durga: Right, I shouldn't throw in the towel!
Durga gets determined!

Party Waiting Room
Carbuncle: Gooo, Otohime!
MC: YEEEAHHH
Arena
Otohime: What a wonderful experience... I shall be sure to win.
Otohime is determined!
Otohime: My apologies, Lord Hephaestus, I will be using The Thing to win here. Limiter release!
Beep boop, damage will occur from going past safety limits!
Otohime: Then I will just have to win before that happens!
Taurus Mask: Oh my god, Otohime is zooming down the track!
Belphegor: Is she copying Tu'er Shen!?
Gotta move fast!
Taurus Mask: ...oh my god, Otohime wins the triathlon race at the literal last second!
Wild cheering from the crowd! Everyone else crosses the finish line in the meantime!
Belphegor: Durga, 2nd. Tu'er Shen, 3rd. Great runs, everyone!
Time to tally up points and check the rankings! 1. Team Eastern Tokyo at 23 (+0) 2. Team Yoyogi, Team Southern Tokyo, AND Team Carbuncle at 19 (+6/+8/+10) 5. Team Kudan at 12 (+2) 6. Team Shinjuku, Team Army Prison, Team Bukuro at 11 (+5/+1/+3)
Michael: I can't BELIEVE I came in last! I'll get you people for this!

Later
Carbuncle: Awesome run, Otohime!
Chernobog: Yes, an exciting come from behind victory.
Gargoyle: I understand sports spectators now.
Aegir: Good shit, Otohime. You coulda won the prelims with that speed.
MC: You did great, Otohime! / You okay?
Otohime: Thank you, everyone. Being cheered by so many is quite a wonderful thing. Lord Girimekhala, your own performance gave me courage to go out as well.
Girimekhala: O-oh. You really gave it your all, Otohime.
Carbuncle: And now we're in 2nd place! Just 4 points from first! Let's keep this up!
Announcement! Next round is Ultimate Basket Catch!
Otohime: I'd like to go again if everyone agrees.
Aegir: Are you trying to turn this into the Otohime Show or something
Chernobog: Aren't you tired from that race?
Otohime: I am a robot so I am fine. And in the next round I can calculate throw trajectories.
Girimekhala: You can!?
Carbuncle: Let's win this thing!
Team morale high! Except for Gargoyle looking like he wants to say something.
Gargoyle: (stares)

Live A Hero From the Chocolate Volcano with Love Episode 5 (Abridged)

The party got a map from the TV staff and are moving along! Then Ganran stops to look around.
Ganran: Map says it's about here. Guess we should look around.
Rexer: Yeah, whatever it is.
Ryusei: I'm good at searching! Yeeeah, I feel good today!
Hitomi: And there's Ryusei's body check for the day! Let's do our best, everyone!
Splitting up to search! Five seconds later...
Ryusei: You guys there's something shining here!
Hitomi: It's buried, but yeah I do see something like that!
Rexer: Looks like the rock cacao's shine! Ganran, what do you think?
Ganran: Looks legit to me!
MC: Alright, time to dig it up!

Ganran: (hands out pickaxes) Here Hitomi, this one's yours!
Hitomi: Thanks! B-but what if I break it...?
Ganran: Smithy ground rules! Trust your friends!
Hitomi: O-okay then! Annnd swing!
Bam! Ground's cracked, pickaxe looks fine.
Hitomi: Wow! Thanks, Ganran!
Ganran: Making things is my job!
Rexer: Whoa, digging will be so much easier now. Thanks Ganran, Hitomi! I'll go next and show off my axe training!
Ding!
Ryusei: Alright, me too!
Rexer: Co-op time!
Ryusei: So I'm Player 2? Cool, I'll dig on this side!
Digging that thing up~
Ganran: Right! I think we can pull it out after we get rid of that big rock in the way!
Rexer: Got it!
Bam! Rock cacao discovered!
Hitomi: Wow, so pretty!
Rexer: Yeah, hard to believe this is edible...
Hitomi: I just want to take it home. Seems like a waste to eat it!

Hitomi picks up the rock cacao when...
Hitomi: Ah, earthquake! ...oh no, the cacao!
Thump.
Ganran: Okay damn, this quake is long!
Rexer: Everyone, get down!
Ryusei: MC, grab my arm!
MC's too busy looking around because they sense EEEEVILLLL!
MC: Wait, this is like Mt. Fuji all over again!
Hitomi: O-okay finally it's over. That was a surprise.
Ganran: Hadn't had one like that in a long while. Good thing everyone's okay.
Rexer: We dropped our stuff, but we can just pick that back up. Ryusei, MC, can you help with that? ...what's up, MC?
Ryusei: MC, do you need to sit down for a bit?
MC: I'm fine. But never mind that, I got news!

EEEEVILLLL
Hitomi: Oh no, the rock cacao! Wait, Monsters!?
Ryusei: Wow, robo copies?
Ganran: What will the TV people think of next?
Rexer: Whoa, they look so real!
MC: They ARE real!
Click! MC transforms the surprised party!
MC: Get ready to fight!
Ganran: W-what!? Hitomi, get away from them!
Hitomi: O-okay! But why are they here!?
Rexer: Think later! MC, your orders!
The party gets into formation! ...but then the Monsters slip away.
Ryusei: What!? MC, do you still sense them?
Hitomi: They might be hiding around!
MC: Uh, lemme see!

MC pauses the camera drone and closes their eyes to concentrate. But then...
Ryusei: Ah, careful everyone!
Rexer: Another earthquake? Is this normal for Garundera!?
Ganran: No, they don't come this often... last time they came this much was the day Barte disappeared.
Flashback!
Ganran: Earthquake! Monsters are popping up in the village! Barte, get outta there while I go fight!
Barte: Alright. Master, you--
Later
Barte: I'm getting sucked in!
Ganran: Grab my hand!
Barte: Something's caught me! ...Ganran, I can't...! Help!
Monster: SCREEEE
Ganran: ...BARTEEEE!

Present
Ganran: Just like...last time...
Rexer: Ganran...
MC: I can't find them. They don't seem to be nearby.
Ryusei: ...you said last time this happened, Monsters appeared in town?
Ganran: Y-yeah. Big quake, then Paths and Monsters popping up all around there.
Emergency phone alert!
MC: oh no
Click. It's Obsidius!
Obsidius: You guys! Monsters just appeared in town! You guys okay over there!?
Hitomi: Yes! But Monsters are popping up around here too!
Obsidius: Dammit. But it should only be you and the TV crew up there. Some of the staff over here are helping, but we're stretched thin! We need you all to come back!
Rexer: Got it! Ganran, what's the fastest way back? ...wait, what!?
BIG quake and explosion noise! Rocks fall from a nearby cliff!
Ganran: Oh no! Get in that cave!
Ryusei: R-right! MC, this way!

Cave
MC: Thanks, guys! I'm glad nobody seems hurt.
Hitomi: Oof, that was scary! I don't think I could've kept standing if I weren't in hero form...
Rexer: Yeah... Obsidius, you okay on your end?
Rexer looks towards Obsidius's phone projection and sees the Chocolate Volcano is red!
Obsidius: An eruption!? Dammit, I need you guys to keep cool! Monsters might start spawning in!
Villager A: Oh no! The volcano's been dormant all this time! If it blows, it'll destroy the village!
Blue: Everyone, please keep calm and come this way!
Green: P-please don't push! We'll protect you all!
Obsidius: MC! You probably saw, but the volcano is gonna erupt! You gotta get away! ...MC?

MC looks further into the cave.
MC: I'm getting the willies...
???: REEEE
MC: Boss Monster inside the volcano!
Surprised party!
Rexer: ...right, you knew those other Monsters we saw were real right away. 
Ryusei: I've heard some Observers are especially sensitive to Monsters, but are you okay MC? You don't look good.
Obsidius: Right, Monsters feed on cognition, so I guess them going for the Chocolate Volcano tracks. And there are cases of Big Monsters hunkering down elsewhere while smaller ones attack towns.
Ganran: ...this cave leads into the volcano. I've never gone that far though, so I dunno how dangerous it'll be.
Ryusei: MC, you said there's a much stronger Monster in the volcano, right? So if it came down to the village...
Hitomi: Yeah, they'd be in danger...
Rexer: That Boss Monster must be causing the eruption, so we can't just leave it.
Ganran: The village might get erased if this goes badly...and here Barte and I finally thought we found peace. (looks down and tightens grip on pickaxe) Why does this always happen to us?
MC: Ganran...

Rexer: I sorta know how you feel, Ganran. My dad got eaten by Monsters. Nobody remembered him...which is why I do hero work now. I wanna take down Monsters too.
Ryusei looks at Ganran.
Ryusei: I had a Monster attack when I was a student. I was slow and weak, so I thought I was done for. But then a hero saved me. I changed thanks to them, but... I hate it when everything we build up just falls apart in a second. So now it's my turn. Paying back the love, right Hitomi?
Hitomi: ...right! We still owe the villagers!
Ryusei: Right, them too. It's my turn to inspire people!
Ryusei and Rexer extend their hands to Ganran.
Rexer: ...I once had a time where I kept rushing forward, desperate to prove myself and make people remember my dad. But I've learned and changed. Let's go together, Ganran.

Ganran looks at Rexer's hand, then at Rexer. Then he laughs.
Ganran: Ha! Damn, I must've really looked dumb to worry you guys! But yeah, you're right! If Monsters are around, then we heroes just have to kick their ass!
Rexer: Yeah, thanks Ganran! MC, you're sure the Monster's further in?
MC nods.
Hitomi: But what about all the Monster attacks in town?
Ryusei: Yeah, MC did say they sensed it...
The party nods at each other and turns to MC.
MC: We gotta check it out / Please believe me
Ganran: Smithy ground rules: trust your friends!
Obsidius: ...alright, you guys would go even if I tried to stop you. We'll handle the village. Smash the big one to bits! But don't be surprised the volcano really blows. Be careful, and we'll call if we got things covered... don't get hurt, MC.
MC nods and ends the call.
Ryusei: Welp, let's go!
Hitomi: And be careful! It's dark and it might quake again!
Rexer: Ganran, can you lead us as far in as you can?
Ganran: Follow me!
And so the party packs up and goes.

Later
Rexer: Okay wow it's hot
Ryusei: Yeah let's make this quick. MC, I'm amazed you sensed the Monster in here.
Hitomi: I'm glad you're here since we can't sense it!
MC: It was probably sleeping since those don't ping.
Ganran: So are the quakes from it waking up? Wait, Earth has volcanos too though. Are Monster waking up quakes different from volcano quakes?
MC: I've been through this before with Mt. Fuji.
Ryusei: Oh yeah, wasn't that when Orient City got locked down?
Rexer: I heard about it all the way in America. I didn't know you were involved, MC.
Hitomi: Is the Monster causing quakes making the volcano act up? That might lead to an eruption.
Ganran: Maybe. Not that I've been in here before but this heat seems weirdly hot. Let's move faster!

Hot steam rising from the magma.
Ryusei: Hey MC, can I suggest something? What if we turned our TV show camera back on for this?
MC: Wait what? Really!?
Ryusei: It's an emergency, so we need people to keep calm. They'll see!
Hitomi: Oh, right!
Rexer: ...I agree. Better to stream to more channels, and it'll bring in more VP if need be.
Ryusei: Yeah, and maybe it'll help the villagers feel better too!
MC: Welp, I'm convinced!
Ryusei: Thanks MC! But focus on your safety first if things get dicey.
EEEEVILLLL
MC: Monster alert!
Monsters: REEEE
Ryusei: Hm, these look different from the ones from earlier!
Rexer: Ugh, they seem fine in this heat. Well, better clean them up quick!
Hitomi: Right. MC, your orders!
Ganran: Full power smash time!
MC: Don't fall into the lava! Now, Wave Battle, ride on!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Ryusei: Rexer, buffing you! Beauty of Health "Pose of Rebirth"!
Ryusei poses and shines light from his Parallel Weapon to buff the party!
Rexer: Thanks! And smash!
Ganran: It's working! But careful of the extra mobs! Forging "Schmieden Schatz-axt"!
Ganran smashes some other Monsters!
Hitomi: MC, send me some VP too so I can buff Rexer!
MC: Got it!
Hitomi sings!
Rexer: Thanks, Hitomi! But still...
Rexer looks at some Monsters near the lava.
Rexer: They're out of range! I mean, I could also blow up the area around them too but...
MC: Yeah, too dangerous if the lava splashes or a wall breaks!

Ganran: Yeah, if we mess things up badly we might trigger an eruption! If only we can hit only the Monsters...
Rexer: What do you expect me to do with an axe/sword morph weapon!? Ugh, too many magma spaces...
Rexer runs around looking for alternative ideas! The Monsters start flinging rocks!
Rexer: Alright, tennis time! Overtaker "Oversynchro Execution"!
Bam!
Monster: LOVELYYYY (poof)
MC: Nice, Rexer! Good work, everyone!
Rexer: Whew, we made it...
Ganran: You okay? You're sweating like crazy.
Ryusei: I know we're in a hurry, but we should take a break. MC, got any drinks for Rexer?
MC hands Rexer a drink and the party finds a sort of safe spot to sit down.

Rexer: Thanks. It's tough, but I'm still okay. Not going as planned though. Sorry, I'll try not to burn out as much next time.
Rexer takes a drink.
Rexer: ...how would Dad have handled this? Wait, I have to do better than him. But I don't know any other way of doing things.
MC: No need to rush. You did great just now!
Hitomi: Heh, you must love your dad a lot, Rexer.
Rexer: ...yeah! And I gotta surpass him too!
Hitomi: I love my father too, so I get it.
Hitomi looks off into space.
Hitomi: I've always loved idols since I was little. The feelings grew, and I decided I wanted to audition.
Ryusei: Cool! Did your parents cheer you on?
Hitomi: (shakes head) Not at first. They wanted me to focus on school since not everyone can become an idol.
Ganran: They were worried about you.
Hitomi: Yeah, same when I first awakened as a hero. But they told me to go all in on whatever I did! (turns to Rexer) So I decided I wanted to see me working hard as an idol. Them being against it at first made me think about it so I can say I did think hard about becoming an idol!
MC: So that's where you diverged. I'm sure they're happy for you!

Ryusei: You definitely are working hard, so they'll understand!
Ganran: Yeah, especially with the work you've done on this show!
Hitomi: Aww, thanks guys. I believe I'm here now because I spent a lot of time thinking and worrying about things when I decided I wanted to be an idol! Maybe no one else thinks much of it, but I do!
Rexer: Hitomi...
Rexer nods at Hitomi, slowly stands up, and looks further ahead into the cave.
Rexer: ...right, thanks Hitomi. I'll think about it some more until I come up with my own answer. Like MC told me.
MC: We're in it together! You'll think of something!
Rexer: (turns back to the party) Thanks. Okay, I'm ready to go again!
Ryusei: Right, we should hurry!
Hitomi: Yeah, before the heat gets us!

The party wipes off sweat as they start going again.
Ryusei: ...?
Ganran: What?
Ryusei: I was thinking about what Hitomi said and wondered if I ever took time to think about stuff.
Ganran: ...everyone does. Like me, when I started looking after Barte, and after Barte disappeared. Regrets happen, but I keep going believing there's hope. Heh, you oughta be fine since you beefed up to change your life.
Ryusei: ...heh, right. Thanks Ganran!
Ganran: Sure! Let's all do our best!
Ryusei: I'll try to be someone I'm proud of!
Ganran and Ryusei fist bump and smile. The party moves further in.

Scramble World Trophy Episode 1 Part 3 (Abridged)

Ah yes, Shangri-La, the world whose faith says Buddha will save all from the cycle of reincarnation. Girimekhala served the Buddha's greatest enemy Mara by being ridden by them. The two of them could totally take on Buddha and win...if he doesn't trip. But he did and turned his world upside down, and he regretted it ever since. Never again, he swears. And over in Deva Loka, Mara is known as Kamadeva.
Present
Sumo time soon! Team Umamichi is having a huddle.
Gouryou: Rip, Girimekhala.
Gorozaemon: Yep.
Yeeeeah, Mr. Clumsy is gonna do terribly in a sport where you hold fast. But still...
Li Chou: He'll make it work somehow!

Party Waiting Room
Girimekhala: you guys I am so cooked
Doomspiraling Girimekhala.
MC: Um, you cool? / (grab his hand)
Girimekhala looks at MC like it's his first time meeting them again.
Girimekhala: Lord Mara Kamadeva MC, I'm pretty sure I'm doomed here stuck competing in public in a sport I'm worst built for. But I'm more afraid of sinking our chances of winning at all!
Otohime: ...but why? You seem strong enough.
Aegir: Yeah! Just drag whoever with you if it comes to it!
Carbuncle: And you got us through the prelims. Who cares if you trip once or twice?
Carbuncle: Yet I get punished with the Japanese Squat of Shame?

Chernobog: How about we do the group huddle and cheer thing?
Aegir: Yeah, and I give you a good luck thump on the back?
Girimekhala rallies!
Carbuncle: Okay then! Let's go, team! Go, Girimekhala!
Girimekhala: Thanks guys. But I'm totally tripping out there.
Otohime: A question, if I may?
Girimekhala: Huh? What?
Otohime: Why are you so convinced you'll trip?
Girimekhala: GIRL, HAVE YOU NOT BEEN WATCHING ME!? And in sumo, you lose if you trip!
MC: Not really?
Chernobog: Right, the rulebook says you lose if any part of yourself not your soles touches the ground.
Aegir: Oh yeah, huh!
Otohime: Oh... I was just thinking how in dancing, you win if you roll more.
Girimekhala: ...wait, THAT'S IT! I know what to do now!
Girimekhala seems calm now.

Later
Tindalos: Hey! HEY! Did Girimekhala bail on us or something!?
Avarga: Eh, give him a little longer.
Tindalos: Oh okay. Welp, air filler time!
For the record, everyone else in this round turns out to be Yasuyori, Ashigara, Kamui, Volkh, Kengo, Musashi, and Koropokkur. Most everyone's started.
Ashigara: Yasuyori, you TRAITOR! You turned me down for another team!
Yasuyori: Boss's orders. I'm glad we can wrestle in public like this though.
Ashigara: Well aren't you excited? I'll make you regret not joining!
Volkh: Hmm, this matchup must be fate.
Kamui: I will not disgrace my honor as my hero's protector, no matter who I face.
Kengo: Yes, finally a chance to fight people I usually can't!
Musashi: I'm pretty good at sumo actually. One of me is good as 100 people!
Koropokkur: Impressive! Show them how strong smaller people are!
Everyone's surprised as Girimekhala shows up!
Girimekhala: My bad, I'm here now!
Tindalos: Cool! VR set, go!
Beep boop, ship stage!
Avarga: Oof, bad footholds here.
Tindalos: Last one standing wins!
Avarga: Ready? Begin!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Sumo match, on! Kamui and Volkh grapple first!
Volkh: Hmm...we seem to be equally strong. Sumo slap fight?
Kamui: ...very well then. I'll win because I have something worth protecting.
Volkh: I DO TOO!
Volkh slaps Kamui's face!
Volkh: Heh. When I win, Lord Perun and I will protect your hero.
Kamui counterslaps!
Volkh: Ow, what!? Okay, impressive force since I have Amnion Protection!
Kamui: It's your turn. You can't beat me that easily. No hero of mine would falter, so neither shall I!

Fascinated dispatched sumo wrestlers.
Yasuyori: True warriors...
Ashigara: I can't BELIEVE you're paying attention to someone besides me right now!
Ashigara activates his artifact! Yasuyori smiles in embarrassment at his point.
Ashigara: YOU LAUGHIN' AT ME!?
Yasuyori: No, no! Sorry, let's do this thing!
Kengo vs. Koropokkur!
Koropokkur: You are all gorillas.
Kengo: Fight me, dammit!
Koropokkur: Are you some kinda bully?
Kengo: Shirou told me to go for number one! Who cares if that's some kid?
Koropokkur: Pffft. Loser.
Koropokkur uses Presence Concealment!
Kengo: Hey, get back here!

Someone approaches Girimekhala!
Musashi: Hey. You trying to pull a Luigi or something?
Girimekhala: You're...Musashi? I'm good, I know what's going on.
Expanding senses. Girimekhala is one with the world.
Girimekhala: All that meditation with Qinglong is paying off. Did he guess I'd need it?
Stands
Qinglong: Indeed.
Amanojaku: Wow, he's so calm.
Motosumi: Hey you guys. Came to watch?
Amanojaku: Yeah. I'm cheering for Girimekhala and MC. Fuxi's here too.
Sanat Kumara: Oh, you taught him Qinglong? He'll do good then!
Qinglong: Just a little guidance. The rest was all him. Elephants are supposed to be good at sensing things.
Nezha: Whoa, he's awesome!
Hanuman: Good luck, Girimekhala!
More cheering for Girimekhala!

Arena
Musashi: I'm gonna go first if you won't then, okay? I'm pretty good!
Musashi charges! Girimekhala grapples but can't move Musashi around!
Girimekhala: WHAT?
Musashi: One of my selves is really good at throwing people like you around.
Musashi starts pushing Girimekhala back!
Girimekhala: OH NO
???: Hang in there, Girimekhala!
Cheers from Umamichi! Girimekhala pulls up some strength!
Girimekhala: Right, I can't chump out like a bitch with everyone watching!

Girimekhala starts sucking up water! From a virtual stage. Somehow. Girimekhala balloons up!
Musashi: WHAT
Girimekhala: I have to score points for the team!
Girimekhala keeps swelling and pushes Musashi over! Avarga calls it for Girimekhala!
Musashi: Aww man...
Meanwhile, dramatic sumo stomping by Yasuyori and Ashigara! The ship stage shakes!
Girimekhala: OH NO
Distant rumbling!
Volkh: Oof. You almost down Kamui?
Kamui: You first.
Nobuharu: GOOOO ASHIGARA! GOOOO YASUYORI!
Ashigara: Huh. Well I guess I can't just lose right here!
Yasuyori: Yes. So we should knock everyone else out then!
MORE dramatic stomping!

Volkh and Kamui: WHAT
A wave crashes onto Volkh and Kamui!
Tindalos: Boom, stage hazard!
Avarga: What'll they do next?
Unconcerned Ashigara and Yasuyori.
Ashigara: Pffft, that's it?
Yasuyori: Agreed!
Kengo: Stop stomping, you dicks! (gets hit by wave) OH NO!
More people fall off! Girimekhala closes his eyes and uses Calm Mind.
Girimekhala: Hmm, I'll lose if I don't do something...
In which case...

Ashigara: Okay Yasuyori, let's finish this!
Yasuyori: Yeah! ...wait.
Something's overhead...
Girimekhala: GANESHA IMPAAAACT!
Ashigara: What, you're taking us both on!? You stupid jerk!
Class conceptual logic time! When Girimekhala is in a 1v2, he rolls over twice as hard, which means he'll spin around right back onto his feet and not lose under sumo rules!
Ashigara: WHAT?
Ashigara and Yasuyori get launched off the stage!
Girimekhala: ...w-wait, did I actually do it!? Oh my god, I did it you guys!
Lots of cheering!
Girimekhala: YEEEAAAH! That's how Umamichi's Girimekhala does it!
Girimekhala's about to leave when...
Koropokkur: Still here. Surprise. (pushes Girimekhala)
Girimekhala: OH NO (falls off stage)
Tindalos: Oh my god, Team Eastern Tokyo's Koropokkur wins! Did he slip past the waves with Presence Concealment!?
Avarga: Girimekhala takes 2nd in round. Ashigara and Yasuyori were just too focused on each other. It happens, but oof.

Running total time! 1. Team Eastern Tokyo at 23 (+10) 2. Team Yoyogi at 13 (+6) 3. Team Southern Tokyo at 11 (+1) 4. Team Army Prison AND Team Kudan at 10 (+5/+0) 6. Team Carbuncle at 9 (+8) 7. Team Bukuro at 8 (+2) 8. Team Shinjuku at 6 (+3)
Girimekhala returns to the party waiting room, upset.
Girimekhala: I-I'm sorry guys, I dropped my guard at the end...
Girimekhala feels bad for tripping up after all those cheers for him.
Aegir: Nice waves out there, Girimekhala!
Chernobog: Impressive showing and strategy thinking.
Girimehkala: B-but I could've gotten us first place this round...!
Carbuncle: It's cool, you got us to 6th place in the ranks now,
Gargoyle: Indeed, be proud!
Otohime: You might be the only one among us who could do so well against those seven.
Girimekhala tears up.
MC: You did great!
Girimekhala: Oh you guys...
Carbuncle: You were awesome, just like Jacob!
Girimekhala: That's thanks to Qinglong. Oh right, I should go thank him.
Aegir: Welp, I better steal back everyone's attention next round. What's next?
Announcement! Round 3 is Ultimate Triathlon! Swimming, biking, and running. Also...
Aegir: Oh cool, the team can decide who to send. Put me in, there's swimming parts and I gotta make up for the prelim bit!
Otohime: No, me. I'll raise our ranking next round.
End of Episode 

Scramble World Trophy Episode 1 Part 2 (Abridged)

Gargoyle walks back to the party waiting room looking sad.
Carbuncle: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED OUT THERE!?
Girimekhala: Wait, Carbuncle, calm down boy!
Gargoyle: Um, I can explain.
Carbuncle used Shin Kick! It wasn't very effective...
Aegir: Just finish the damn round if you don't wanna go chibi in public.
Flashback of Gargoyle going chibi in the prologue!
Chernobog: Carbuncle, we should focus on the present rather than what's already happened.

Arena
Ryouta: Sorry I lost guys...
Shirou: It was just bad luck, you did your best.
Ahura Mazda: Indeed. I am superhuman and you are not, that is all.
Ryouta: I coulda won if this were an eating contest!
Good natured Ahura Mazda.
Touji: That's the spirit, Ryouta. The World Reps are not invincible.
Meanwhile, Match #3
Tindalos: Now it's Jagannath's turn!
Jagannath: Wow, hearing live cheers for once is cool!
Perun: Your luck's run out to go against me, pleb!
Jagannath: Your Imperial Privilege is no good here in the ring!
Jagannath slams Perun!
Perun: WHAT
Jagannath: Heh, going all out means I can take on guys like you.
Jagannath combos Perun's ass into oblivion!
Perun: HOW DARE

Party Waiting Room
MC: oh my god he actually won / He kicked Perun's ass!? / yessss, hot people fighting each other
Chernobog: Defeating an emperor? Truly the world is vast.
Otohime: Yes, clearly it is possible to turn things around.
Aegir: Heh, you'd be the first one people go for, Chernobog.
Match #4 is Tiger Man vs. Pollux! Also Game 2 will be Ultimate Kendo, no assigned team members for that one.
MC: MY TIME HAS COME
Chernobog: I have no objections.
Carbuncle: Yeah I can't swordfight, so...
Girimekhala: Hey maybe we should do a group cheer since we're a team now?
Carbuncle: Sounds good!
Everyone gathers together. Otohime is mystified. Gargoyle is doing the Japanese Squat of Shame.
Carbuncle: On three, okay? One, two, three! Go, MC!
Otohime: I shall take that synchronized cheer down for reference.
MC: Okay, here I go!

MC goes outside. The other teams have sent their player for Round 2 out too.
Michael: Hello Big Brother. I'm going to show you how much I've grown.
Fuxi: Predictable choice. But you are also obviously the only swordfighter on your team.
Tezcatlipoca and Shiva are here too.
MC: I'm so cooked / Nah, I'll win / COULDN'T YOU GUYS HAVE SENT LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE!?
Fuxi: They say I'm also the origin of warcraft in our world, you know.
Tezcatlipoca: Me going out here is more exciting than Yasuyori or Tanetomo! And why would I let anyone else play with you, BRRRROTHER!?
Shiva: I have Vishnu's sword skills via my Trimurti connection!
Mac Roich: You're so popular MC. But I'm glad to spar with you!
Moritaka: Let's do our best, MC!
Avarga: I'm here because Garuda shenanigans.

Explanation time!
Enigma: For this round we have Bukuro's Horokeu Kamui as guest commentator.
Kamui: I shall do my best in this role.
Enigma: VR battle royale with randomized spawn points for everyone. And despite our calling this the kendo round, there are actually no weapon restrictions meaning no actual requirement to use swords.
Vrrrr...
Engima: That said, we're still using the kendo scoring system. Hit people on the right spots for points. Get hit and you get respawned somewhere as you lose points. Winner is whoever has the most points at the end of the time limit.
Winner gets 10 points. 2nd gets 8, 3rd gets 6, 4th gets 5,  5th gets 3, 6th gets 2, 7th gets 1, and 8th gets nothing.
Enigma: No restrictions against power usage, but scoring only counts weapon attacks. Rule breaking gets point penalties. Kamui, your thoughts?
Kamui: So, skill with weaponry and game theory will be important.
Enigma: Judgment skills, I see.

Arena setup done!
Enigma: Begin the second round!
MC: okay what now (check around)
Literally a few seconds later
Fuxi: SIIIISTER! Submit to me!
MC: NAH MAN / Big Bro, lemme hit you~ / (swing)
SUDDEN SIDE SWIPE
Michael: Hand strike point. Tee hee, you can't keep up with me now that you've fallen.
MC: WHAT / sneaky little shit! / ugh, dammit
Beep. Michael +1, MC -1
Kamui: My hero, the round literally just started!
Enigma: Uh, you're still technically opposed to them right now.
Kamui: O-oh, yes. I forgot where I was for a moment.
Time for MC to get dumped somewhere else now.
Michael: So Fuxi, want to fight me?
Fuxi: No, hitting you will take too long.
Michael: That sounds about right for you. Time to look for where Big Brother got sent to then.

Later
MC respawns elsewhere
Tezcatlipoca: BRRRROTHER! Fight me!
MC: Goddammit! / I'm gonna win! / yeeeeah brother
Shiva: KAAAAMA! How dare you tempt me by exposing yourself so shamefully!
Party Waiting Room
Girimekhala: W-wait, what did he just say?
Shocked Girimekhala!
Arena
Shiva spear charges MC!
Tezcatlipoca: Back off my BRRRROTHER, you!
MC: help / I can't believe all the World Reps are after me like they always are! / Dammit, piss off Shiva!

Party Waiting Room
Aegir: Damn, everyone's ganging up on MC.
Carbuncle: Dick move!
Gargoyle: It's a logical strategy though, focusing on the weakest.
Carbuncle: But still...!
Otohime: I pray for you, MC...
Arena
MC: Welp, what do I even do?
Fuxi and Michael find MC again!
Tezcatlipoca: You're going to be all mine, BRRRROTHER!
Fuxi: I found you again, SIIIISTER!
Four way fight between the World Reps over who gets MC!
Moritaka: Ganging up against MC is dishonorable!
Mac Roich: I agree, so I will help you!
MC: You guys! / I'll pet you later, Moritaka! / Love you, Mac Roich!
(B) Moritaka: You must focus! We're still outnumbered!
(C) Mac Roich: Haha, and I love you too! But we have more important things to deal with first!

Enigma: Suddenly this battle royale is turning into a team battle, but there are no rules against it.
Kamui: There are its own risks in doing things this way as well.
Avarga sucker punches Tezcatlipoca!
Avarga: Careless, careless.
Tezcatlipoca: Impressive initiative! No mercy!
Avarga: I'll join you for now, MC.
Tezcatlipoca gets teleported away, so now it's 4v3!
Michael: Hmph. We still have 12 wings, 8 trigrams, and 3 sets of arms on this side.
Shiva: Indeed! Charge!
Shiva throws his spear at MC!
Enigma: Beep boop, weapon throwing is prohibited this round. Penalty for Shiva.
Shiva: WHAT? B-but I throw weapons all the time in my home world!
Enigma: Which is still not a thing in kendo rules.

Warmongers Waiting Room
Tanetomo: What are they even doing?
Tiger Man: Our superstar tanked that attack from Avarga even though he could have dodged.
Tanetomo: Maybe they just don't bother with defensive measures at their power level anymore. Plus the general has his masochistic side now that he can feel again.
Tiger Man: I'm gonna cheer from the stands! Doctor, the flag!
Shennong: Flag waving, got it.
Arena
4v2 standoff!
Moritaka: MC, we can still win under the kendo rules here. I'll take point!

Plot twist!
Michael: Oof, Fuxi, what!?
Fuxi backed off from Mac Roich and Avarga to sucker punch Michael!
Fuxi: What? We never really agreed to ally with each other.
Michael whines as he gets teleported away!
Fuxi: Okay bye now.
Mac Roich: Nah, you aren't leaving that easily.
Actually Fuxi does leave that easily.
Avarga: Guess he saw a better deal somewhere else.
MC: Thanks guys. I guess this foursome is over now and we fight now?
Mac Roich: Not now, but maybe later.
Moritaka: I'll leave too then. Good luck, MC.
Temp alliance breaks off and splits up. Moritaka, Mac Roich, Shiva, and Michael are still in the lead. Someone's score isn't changing.
Fuxi: (stares)

Team Southern Tokyo Waiting Room
Ixbalanque: Why's Fuxi just standing there? I thought we were actually trying to win.
Perun: Wait and see.
Arena
Fuxi: Hmm, Mac Roich and Shiva both have Future Vision too. They ARE messing with my plans but things should be done with soon. (wanders off)
Moritaka: I can't find anyone!
(bop)
Enigma: Fuxi just got Moritaka! One point!
Moritaka: Can you see the future!?
Fuxi: Yes. Now, who's next?
Fuxi starts farming points by ambushing people!
Fuxi: Tee hee.
MC: FIGHT ME, FUXI!

Fuxi: Ah, SIIIISTER! My Future Vision said Avarga was supposed to come by next. I love how unpredictable you are, but it looks like you'll be placing dead last.
MC: Still gotta try!
Fuxi: Heh, impossible.
Fuxi reads MC like a book.
Fuxi: This little dance is fun. Too bad it won't last long.
MC: Oh no! I gotta do something random!
MC rushes in! Fuxi is caught off guard!
MC: Kendo head strike!
Bzzzzt!
Engima: O-oh, well that was the bell and we judge that MC made their attack in time to count.
Kamui: Impressive strike, my hero.
Enigma: Anyways, time to tally up the points.
1. Fuxi 2. Michael 3. Mac Roich 4. Shiva 5. Moritaka 6. Avarga 7. MC 8. Tezcatlipoca
Engima: And to distribute the points for this round.
1. Team Eastern Tokyo 13 (+8) 2. Team Southern Tokyo 10 (+10) 3. Team Kudan 10 (+5) 4 .Team Yoyogi 7 (+2) 5. Team Bukuro 6 (+6) 6. Team Prison School 5 (+0) 7. Team Shinjuku 3 (+3) 8. Team Carbuncle 1 (+1)

Later
Avarga: My bad, you guys.
Kyuma: Nah, you did your best!
Durga: You can do better in a different round! It's still just 2 out of 10 so far!
Quick downtime and postmortem for everyone!
Tanetomo: General, did you not understand kendo strike rules?
Tezcatlipoca: Welp!
Tanetomo: (sigh)
Team Southern Tokyo's Waiting Room
Perun: Well done, Fuxi!
Fuxi: Thank you. We'd be doing even better if you had won.
Perun: Heh. Winners don't need to concern themselves with the past. Just move forward.
Fuxi: We're all just cynics. Also it was exciting the way SIIIISTER came at me. You'll get to me one of these days, heh.

Team Carbuncle's Waiting Room
Otohime: MC, commiseration dance! You did your best! Chernobog, kick your legs!
Chernobog: Y-yes! But I'm not that flexible!
MC: what / sorry I came in 7th / thanks guys
---
(A) Otohime: I thought you might need cheering up.
---
Aegir: You did pretty good for being ganged up on. We're behind, but we got all competition to catch up.
Carbuncle: Yeah, your last swing was so cool!
Girimekhala: I gotta try harder next time I'm out!
High morale! Round 3 announcement time!
Tindalos: Next up, Ultimate Sumo! Player selection will be random! And for Team Carbuncle...that's gonna be Girimekhala!
Girimekhala: OH GOD I'M SO DOOMED

Scramble World Trophy Episode 1 Part 1 (Abridged)

Tindalos: OKAY CHAT IT'S SPORTS FEST TIME! I'm your host from Tindalos Channel, Tindalos!
Enigma: And I am your co-host and Foreigner Dog nose bapper Enigma. Why AM I paired up with you, Tindalos?
Tindalos: Go ask Turing, Beep Boop Bear. Not like I wanted to work with you. Is it because the Entertainers are using us to show off some tech?
Enigma: I will now be suing you for breach of confidentiality on their behalf.
Tindalos: go shove it up your hard drive, I'm tryna be nice here!
Enigma: Now let us applause for our qualifying teams.
Tindalos: HEY! KISS MY ASS!
Lots of applause!

Enigma: Now let us begin introducing our teams starting with the last to qualify. First, the team that does NOT all come from one specific school or alliance like everyone else, it's Team Carbuncle!
MC: wow, so much cheering! / nervous / YEEEAAAH
Randos: "hey look, the prize" "they join whoever wins?" "all the big guilds want 'em" "whomst" "MC" "oh okay"
MC: WHAT
Carbuncle: Well damn. Welp, we just have to win, MC!
Girimekhala and Otohime wave at some Umamichi and Kamata folks.
Aegir: Oh wow, my lab students came to watch too!

Tindalos: Team #7 who broke several records, Team Bukuro!
Mac Roich, Kamui, Bathym, Snow, Ikutoshi, and Pollux are here!
Snow: Congratulations on qualifying, Master MC.
MC: You here too, Snow? / wait, where's your 7th member? / oof, the Berserkers...
---
(A) Snow: Yes, as part of Team Ikebukuro. Master of course is aiming for the gold.
(B) Snow: Our ace will be coming late. But I assure you he is the strongest here.
---
Kamui: Let us have a good, clean bout, my hero.
Bathym: Yooo, watch me flex out there MC!
Carbuncle: Whoa, the battle freaks still only qualified seventh quickest?
Snow: Yes, this is rather shameful... who could ever have thought Berserkers would do terribly with organized sports rules?
The rest of Team Ikebukuro look away from Snow.

Enigma: And now presenting Team #6, the super martial artists of Team Kudan!
It's Shiva, Temujin, Jagannath, Heracles, Kagutsuchi, Musashi, and Jungo!
Shiva: Hear me, MC! I-it's not like I care whether you dally with the other Reps while I train, but I could be convinced to have you join me if I win!
Temujin: Hmph. Come at me all you like, Bearer of Jamukha. I will claim you and take you all night long!
MC: we gotta win / I'd be down for that actually / bring it
(A) Carbuncle: What is wrong with all the people you know!?
(B) Carbuncle: NOOOO, YOU CAN'T

Tindalos: Moving on, Team #5 from Nerima, it's Team Army Jail!
It's Balor, Tiger Man, Tezcatlipoca, Shennong, Tanetomo, and Yasuyori!
Tezcatlipoca: BRRRROTHER! Look, we're going to fight again!
Balor: Someone get a camera and record me competing against my grandson!
Some prison uniformed spectators get on that.
Balor: And don't forget to focus on my grandson!
Shennong: You guys, just please...don't bang yourselves up here.
MC: Shennong!? / Wow, Grandpa! / wait, they're down one person too
---
(A) Shennong: Now now, that's Doctor to you.
(B) Balor: Haha, thanks. This is a sports thing but it still shouldn't stop until everyone is down on the ground.
(C) Tezcatlipoca: It's a surprise!
---
Carbuncle: Do you know literally everyone!? Oh whatever, fine! I just have to win this damn thing!
Tanetomo: Hello again Girimekhala, I haven't seen you since the snowball fight.
Girimekhala: Hello Tanetomo. No mercy!

Tindalos: And next is #4! We got farmers AND some mystery people! Team Southern Tokyo School Alliance!
It's Yamasachi, Perun, Volkh, Fuxi, Q'ursha, Tu Er Shen, and Ixbalanque!
Fuxi: I need to do my divinations and set myself up for this, hehe... SIIIISTER! Watch me win!
Carbuncle: Oh god I think things will be the worst off for us if they win.
MC: Same / eh, the crazy's already pretty high up there / he'll probably just simp for us
Yamasachi: Hey Otohime, you made it.
Otohime: I look forward to our later bout.
Hey, lots of other party acquaintances.

Engima: And now for the top three who qualified in like five minutes.
Hey look...
Enigma: Team #3 made it with the power of friendship or something. Team Shinjuku!
MC: WHAT
Shirou: Wow, we're actually going to compete against each other.
Tsukuyomi: Shleepy...
Shuten: Aww MC, you asked Chernobog but not little ol' me? I'd have helped you.
Ibaraki: (from the stands) YEEEAAAAH KICK MC'S ASS
Ryouta: MC, let's go on a snack tour if we win!
Moritaka: W-wait, we win MC as a prize if we triumph!? N-no, I am just here to help the team!
Touji and Kengo can't even bring themselves to say anything out of embarrassment.

???: Nice dreams. Too bad they're never coming true.
Tindalos: Oh hey, it's Team Eastern Tokyo School Alliance coming out already!
Masashi: Oh hello Moritaka, how's the filler spot life going?
Horus: Let us all remember the agreement to split Uncle's time fairly between us over a week.
Amaterasu: Ah, a much more orderly method of making decisions.
MC: I'm not your prize / We're winning this whole thing / they sound like a good idea actually
Gargoyle: Well that's a rather impressive gathering. They even have Michael with them, who is JUST as good as I am.
Michael: Excuse me!? "JUST as!?"
Gargoyle: Oh beg pardon, I forgot that whining is a sign you are actually less than me.
Ahura Mazda: Well we are likely the biggest hurdle aside from Team #1.
Onyankopon: But it's hard to believe the other World Reps not here would be any threat.

Tindalos: And finally the team that qualified the fastest! They didn't even fight other teams for their medals, it's the sports school team of Team Yoyogi!
Ashigara: Our time has come!
Gunzo: But Durga was the one who won most of our medals.
Durga: MY time has come! Oh hey Chernobog and MC. I'mma win this thing!
MC: You guys all want the prize!? / oh god they're too good! / so to win we have to beat them?
Wakan Tanka: Hello, my MC! We're not here for the prize, but for love of the games! Right guys?
Carbuncle: I DON'T GET THESE PEOPLE
Ashigara: I'm gonna flex on Roppongi's sumo club!
Wakan: I'm glad we can all compete on the same stage!

Enigma: Now onto the opening ceremonies. Please welcome Bukuro Academy Chairman, Lord Claude.
Claude makes his dramatic greetings as he walks to the central stage!
Claude: Congratulations, great athletes one and all. I for one look forward to seeing you sweat and fight it out. May everyone in and out enjoy the festival!
Applause!
Enigma: And next, the Traditional Japanese Sports Fest Fairness Pledge. MC, please come up.
MC: Okay! / wait, me? / WHAT
Claude: No worries, "good enough" will suffice here.
MC: Uh, okay then. In which case, we all promise...
MC: To have a good, clean contest! / To kick everyone's asses! / To take everyone on!
(A) Lots of applause!
(BC) Pleased Aegir and Gargoyle! Shocked rest of the party! The audience is stunned for a second before cheering loudly!
Carbuncle: WHY'D YOU TAUNT EVERYONE!?
Aegir: Good speech, MC! We have to win anyways, so why not?

Engima: Very good. Now for the opening band performance by Nakano Academy and Carbuncle.
Carbuncle: FINE! Listen up, people! I'm ME, not whoever you're projecting on me!
BeautifulSong.mp3
MC: oh my god so pro
Gargoyle: Of course. How can he be any less if I have him sing about how beautiful I am?
Tons of applause!
Tindalos: Damn, I oughta get him to sing my stream theme song. Okay, ceremony bits over!
Enigma: All athletes please return to your waiting rooms where we will contact you about the program.

Later
Girimekhala: OH GOD WE HAVE TO WIN AGAINST ALL THAT!?
Otohime: I must admit, our chances look vanishingly small.
Aegir: What, chickening out? You had to know all the other teams had to be a cut above.
Chernobog: I'm more impressed by Carbuncle's singing voice.
Carbuncle: Oh, thanks man.
Slightly intimidated party.
Gargoyle: Why do you doubt our chances when we have ME? I can beat everyone with my hands tied behind my back!
Ding dong!
Enigma: Announcement time. Our first round will be a one on one wrestling match. Winners score five points for their teams.
Festival's a cumulative point scoring system.
Enigma: And now for the designated athletes for the round. For Team Carbuncle, Gargoyle--
Gargoyle: (smirks) Yessss!

Later
Tindalos: It's wrestling time! For this match up, we've got Team Carbuncle's Gargoyle versus Team Yoyogi's Taurus Mask!
Taurus Mask: Alright, huge crowd!
Gargoyle: Yessss, all this attention is such a turn on.
Taurus Mask: Whoa, you've been in the spotlight a lot? And look at those muscles!
Lots of waving and flexing at the audience like a real pro wrestler match setup!
Gargoyle: I am indeed used to being seen by many, yes.
Taurus Mask: Cool! I gotta do my best for my fans and win!
Gargoyle: Commendable. But I'm going to be the one to win!

Waiting Room
The rest of the party is watching the match on TV.
Aegir: I was promised some wrasslin' and I ain't seeing any guys getting tossed around yet!
Carbuncle: Gargoyle's the type to constantly think about how to farm aura. But I guess he'll be fine.
Arena
Tindalos: Nice! And now to introduce our guest commentator, Jagannath from Team Kudan! You're a big MMA star, right?
Jagannath: Thanks! I'm good at punching, but I think I can explain grapples pretty good too. And I am totally NOT that punkish cop you might see around Kabukicho, just so everyone knows. We're doing the usual wrestling rules of a three second countdown, and this is gonna be good!
Tindalos: Alright, and now's a good time to change up the stage!

VR settings, on!
Tindalos: Surprise! New stadium tech with Metaverse area recreation! It looks and feels just like the real thing!
And now a wrestling ring!
Taurus Mask: Wait, this is straight up pro wrestling!
Tindalos: Nah man, this is the Sports Fest Ultimate Wrestling! And it's about time to get this show on!
Gong! Gargoyle and Taurus Mask charge each other and make a loud banging sound!
Taurus Mask: Okay god damn are you heavy!
Gargoyle: I'm impressed you can hold up against me. You really have trained yourself well!
Taurus Mask: O-oh, thanks? Uh, your muscles look great too.
Gargoyle: Yessss, admire me more and bulk up my faith energy...
Gargoyle gets bigger between all the cheers and compliments!
Taurus Mask: WAIT WHAT
Gargoyle: You could take the fall, but it'd be more exciting if I power slam!
Gargoyle pulls out his wings and lifts Taurus Mask!
Gargoyle: Gargoyle from the top rope! Brain Busterrrr!
Taurus Mask: OOF
MC: WHAT

Jagannath: Damn, he dead.
Seems so.
Team Yoyogi: GET UP, TAURUS MASK
Durga: We brought our own cheer squad! Hit it!
Nobuhara: Right! Go, go, Taurus Mask!
Nobuhara waves his flag around!
Gargoyle: Oh no, he is most definitely KOed.
Taurus Mask: NO I'M NOT, I CAN'T LET THEM DOWN!
Tindalos: BRUUUHHH!?
Jagannath: Daaaamn, this happens in underground matches too and--I mean, what?
Team Berserkers' Waiting Room
Bathym: Nice. Work that comeback scene, Taurus Mask!
Ikutoshi: Meh. That's kind of a huge hit to take for show biz. And I see Gargoyle isn't just vanity built.

Arena
Gargoyle: Impressive. Okay, your turn to pull a move! If you even can pull--WHAT
Gargoyle gets full nelson'd!
Taurus Mask: Dragon Supleeex!
POW
Jagannath: Wait, who the hell chooses to do a suplex on a guy who's like twice their weight or something?
Gargoyle: (gets up) Okay, my turn now.
Both seem ready to keep going despite the damage!
Party's Waiting Room
Chernobog: Such impact.
Otohime: Yes, but it will end soon.
Arena
Gargoyle's showing some tiredness even as he smiles.
Gargoyle: Heh, thanks for making me look good. Maybe I should make you look good as a statue.
Taurus Mask: what
Gargoyle starts charging Petrification Beam! But then he starts shrinking!
Gargoyle: (OH NO) Actually this is now paywall content, come see me at the Museum of Prayers if you dare!
Gargoyle bails out of the wrestling match!
Tindalos: HEY MAN, WHAT THE FU--
