431. First Round ~The Tournament Part I~

The Jazz Fusion and Allies look at the crowd below from another Helicarrier, but no one cheers for them.

"Literally, no one is cheering for us," said Josuke.

"Just keep moving..." said Gabrielle, sighing.

The League passes by, and slightly fewer people cheer for them than the Avengers.

"Told you it was bad publicity," said Clark. "My guild in W.O.W. practically kicked me out."

The Jump Force passes by and everyone cheers for Saiyaman.

"WOO!!! SAIYAMAN!!! BEAT SPIDER-MAN FOR ME, WILL YA!?"

Tony Stark waves to the people along with Peter as their Helicarrier begins to fly toward the satellite. "Hello! Hello, everybody! Hahahaha!"

Peter speaks up. "Mr. Stark... I just want to say that I'm happy to have you-..."

"Yeah. Uh-huh... Hey! Yeah! Tony Stark, baby! Hahaha! Helped save New Israel!"

"I just wanted to say thank you. Because now, people don't talk about-..."

"Yeah... People are shallow assholes. Also, I mayhaps paid the media to stop that."

"But, Mr. Stark... That offers no integrity to-..."

"Relax!" smiled Tony. "It's not like it's illegal or anything!"

"Mr. Stark, that's fake news-..."

"That I control. Nothing wrong with that, right...? My assistant, my responsibility."

Peter frowns. "That isn't very responsible."

"Peter... Responsibility...? No. These are gifts, Peter. You have a gift. People with gifts don't choose. They take."

Peter is terrified by Tony's words and stayed quiet for the rest of the trip.

Everyone cheers, drinking Extremis sodas, cheering happily.

"Hi!Today... Stuff happened!The Tournament! Check it now...!" smiled the news anchor, while a strange ringing noise could be heard in the background. "See ya..."

Erina and Suki stare at it with suspicion. 

"Let's just... watch it from there," said Suki.

"Great... idea..." said Erina.

Erina carries Suki and prepares her portal gun and walks around the neighborhood.

Erina looks to see that in the neighborhood, literally, everyone is in a trance state. "What the hell?"

Suki begins to have a nosebleed.

"What's wrong?" asked Erina.

"Something's wrong with these people..." said Suki.

Now...

The group ends up on the planet and prepares for the Tournament.

Peter tries to wear his new suit given to him by Tony Stark. He has a white suit now, and his Spider Symbol has an Arc Reactor.

*knock, knock...*

"Tony, I don't want to talk to you right-..." Peter turns around. "Bruce?"

Bruce stays by the door with crossed arms. "Peter... There's still time. You could still call this whole thing off."

"Bruce, you're not allowed to be here! You'll get disqualified."

"Yeah. I know, but that Stark guy isn't your Tony Stark. Remember that! He's up to something... The Extremis sodas that he's using? They have components of-..."

"Look. Bruce. Everything's going great! People don't care about what i did anymore!"

"Peter... Stark is brainwashing everyone with the media."

"Yeah! Because...responsibility...Doesn't allow us to choose always. Sometimes, we just have to take."

Bruce sighs. "You're starting to sound like Osborn, Peter," he said, as Peter frowns."Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's what responsibility is for, Peter! It's supposed to stop you from doing something reckless!"

"Oh, what? Like... Making someone who you saw as someone who was practically your kid kill an innocent man!?"

Bruce bows his head, subtly. 

"Tony told me that-..."

"What?"

"I said, Tony-..."

"Did you just call him Tony?"

Peter sighs. "Yeah! Why!? What's wrong with that!? Bruce...!?"

"Because you only call someone by their first name when you've become casual with them.Or... When you lose respect..."

Bruce and Peter stare at each other with contempt.

"Just leave..." said Peter.

"No. Peter. That Armor Boy over there is going to-!"

"To what, Bruce!? You're just jealous! No... You're just PISSED that you have no control OVER ME ANYMORE!!!"

"Control? Is that what you think this is about? Peter, yes I'm afraid of losing control. But not because I don't get to control people like that son of a bitch."

"Oh! Sure!"

"But because I might lose the people I love and care about! Now, back the hell out of this fight, D-...!"

Peter scoffs.

"Peter!"

"NO!!!"

"Why not!?"

"BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FAULT I AM IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! YOU!!! I KEEP BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE WITH MY FISTS BECAUSE OF YOU!!! I STARTED LOSING CONTROL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!I WENT CRAZY TRYING TO KEEP THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT IN THIS WORLD SAFE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!I KILLED THAT GUY BECAUSE OF YOU!!!" yelled Peter, pointing at Bruce each time he said "YOU!!!", angrily while also crying."SO, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, BEN!!!"

Bruce's eyes widen.

"Bruce... I meant Bruce!" Peter corrected himself. "JUST LEAVE OR I'LL REPORT YOU!!!"

Bruce sighs. "Peter..."

"LEAVE!!! IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M THIS WAY!!! NO WONDER EVERYONE LEAVES YOU!!! NO WONDER EVERYONE DIES ON YOU!!!" yelled Peter. He sees Bruce's face, with teary eyes. He stops and covers his mouth. Peter bows his head and speaks. "I'm sorry... Mr. Wayne-... I-..." Peter looks up to see that he's gone. "I was-... I-..." Peter wipes his tears and punches the wall, shattering it.

Later...

"Let the Tournament... Begin..."

The Jazz Fusion stayed in a tent in the north of the small planet somewhere in the-... Oh, right... Let's just give a map of the whole thing.

Who's Tyrone?

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!!! THE TOURNAMENT STARTS NOW!!!

"Hello!" smiled J. Jonah Jameson. "I am J. Jonah Jameson, and I am your speaker for today!"

"And I am Lois Lane! I am your other speaker for today!" smiled Lois.

"And welcome to the Tenth Tournament of Maharlica!"

"Ten years ago, after Miguel JoJo's death, Tony Stark of newly colonized Earth-838 had come up with a tournament held in different universes. Every year from then, Tony Stark held a tournament that had all winners unite Maharlica as one people!"

"Now, here is what ten-year winner Tyrone Daga!"

Tyrone speaks in the pre-recorded video. "Hey..." he said, handsomely. "I'm 49-years-old. But... I look 19... because I eat nothing but carrots and protein shakes."

Tyrone shows all of his awards. "See these? These are all my awards! Last year I beat Goku with just a pinky slap... Pfft... Easy..."

"How did that happen?"

"Y'know... He uh..."

Back then...

Goku slips on a banana pill and gets his head crashed outside of the tournament ring after Tyrone, out of fear, touched Goku with his pinky.

In the recording...

"Y'know... Trainin'..." said Tyrone.

"So... how will you win now since all of your wins include pushing people of the ring now that there's a planet?"

Tyrone stares at the camera. "Sorry, what?"

Now...

"Now... Stark Industries developed the Satellite known as Starkland, a planet he created where all 168 participants could fight! It's a planet that can regenerate its resources and terrain with an Uru core in order to survive planetary destruction! It's a perfect planet with eight land biomes."

"The glaciers! The rainforests! The forests! The mountains! The tundras! The desert! The badlands! And, the grasslands! The fight will go on only for one day! I could make a joke about Spider-Man right now, but I was paid not to!"

"The battle will begin... right now. Lead sponsorships include...Yamcha Enterprises Hetap! Stark Industries' Extremis! Wayne Enterprises' Star Labs! The Hellsing Organization's Pokewesen! Fazbear Entertainment! Walt Disney Studios! Delmar's Deli-Grocery! Hammer Industries' Hammer Tech! StefanioCorp! Pines-Northwest Monsterhunting Corporation! Warner Bros.! Fisk Consolidated!

Now...

Josuke, Finn, Jake, Spongebob, Patrick, Gumball, Darwin, Mark, Gabrielle, Narcos, Yurielle, and F.F. all stayed in a large camp filled with several tents, one for each of them.

There are hidden cameras everywhere, watching the Jazz Fusion.

"I feel watched," said Patrick. "And I can't touch my tentacles anymore."

"Patrick, please stop being atrociously horrific for once," said Spongebob.

"I have a new song for our adventure," said Jake. Jake shapeshifts his hands into a harmonica. He blows thrice. "We're in a forest! Tryin' to rest!" He blows thrice. "Patrick wants to fap... Jake wants to rap!" He blows thrice. "The collar around Finn's neck is itchy!"

Finn yells. "YES!!!"

"We should remember that Twitter's bitchy!"

"Break his windpipe!" yelled Nemesis, who stood behind Gumball.

Jake continues singing in the background.

"Alright," sighed Josuke. "We're going to get food for the night before she starts making Gumball snap Jake's neck."

"You can see her!?" asked Gumball.

"Yes... I'm part 'Grimm.' Of course. I can."

"So you know about the-?"

"Yeah... And in the living room... you sick bastard.Now, everyone goes to sleep."

"If you kill us in our sleep, could you at least kill Patrick first," said Gumball.

"I'll go with you," said Mark.

"Mark... You can't," said Josuke. "Neither you, Gabrielle. I'm counting on both of you to protect both of us."

Spongebob, who has a Dampener around his neck, gives a thumbs up. "I'll keep 'em in line, boss!"

"Great!" smiled Josuke. "Let's do this..."

Josuke tries leaving, only for a familiar old man to tackle Josuke.

Everyone prepared their attacks.

"WAIT!!! I WANT TO HAVE A TRUCE!!! PLEASE!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!" he sobbed.

"What? That's allowed. Yes. But we don't trust you because-..."

"He's telling the truth," said Yurielle, flipping the pages out of boredom.

"Alright, sure. But first, you have to tell us why and that we have to actually, like the reason..."

"THEY'RE ELIMINATING EVERYONE!!!" yelled the man.

"What...? Who...?" asked Josuke. "How!?"

"No time to explain! Just... Lemme hide in this rainforest, will ya!?"

"Sure... Wait... It's just that... Aren't you Nine-Time Winner Tyrone Daga?" asked Josuke. "AKA Tyrone the Tyrant."

"Yeah! Just! Please! THEY'RE CRAZY!!!"

"WHO IS-!?" asked everyone, finally annoyed.

"IT'S-!!!"

Meanwhile...

"Ten out of fourteen teams have already been eliminated," said Lois Lane

"By Tyrone, right?" asked J. Jonah.

"No," said Lois. "They were all eliminated by-..."

Meanwhile...

Goku and Vegeta happily blow up several people. The moment they are injured, their wounds become blue pixels as they are teleported away (as long as the pixel wounds are "fatal").

"Lalalalalala! Hey, guy!" smiled Goku, as a man hides behind a rock.

"Please!" he sobbed. "Let's truce! Have mercy."

"Lemme thinks about it..." smiled Goku.

*PEW!!!*

*BOOM!!!*

He blows up with several pixels around his body.

He only has an arm, leg, and half of his body left, filled with blue pixels around the "wounds."

"OH, GOD!!!" he sobbed. "Please! Please... Let me-!!!"

He is teleported away.

One guy's legs leak several pixels.

"Why the hell do these things have pain receptors...?" he sobbed. "Hey... I'll tell you where my allies are if you let me live..."

"Hm..." thought Goku, putting his index finger and thumb below his chin to think.

"You can sense energy, dumbass," said Vegeta.

"Oh, yeah! What he said!" smiled Goku, as he shoots the man in the head.

"Was that the last one...?" asked Vegeta.

"Uh... I'm not good with math..." said Goku. "What's 10 times 12?"

"I don't know," said Vegeta. "Ten dozens?"

Goku sighs. "Hey, King Kai? Connect me with Gohan, will ya?"

Gohan sighs. "Yeah, dad?"

"10 times 12, Gohan!"

"A hundred and twenty?"

"Thanks, Gohan!We killed 118, Vegeta."

Vegeta kills one hiding behind a tree.

"119."

"Wow, Getes! I like hurting innocent people!"

"You're a fuckin' psychopath, Kakarot. Hey..." said Vegeta. "Who the hell is that supposed to be?"

"Who's wha-? Ooh!" Goku smiles, sensing something in the distance. 

"I'm guessing that they're finally attacking?"

"I'll go use Instant Transmission."

Vegeta grabs Goku's shoulder and they teleport away.

Thor, Carol. and Professor Hulk sigh, landing right where they left.

"They're gone," Carol spoke into the earpiece.

"That's fine," said Tony. "You'll fight them later."

Tony smiles while before him, Giorno pants as he coughs blue blood, wearing a collar around his neck. 

Tony is alone with Giorno.

"You cannot get away with this..." said Giorno.

"Oh... Giorno Giovanna..." Tony snaps his fingers and Giorno enters a trance. "You serve me now...With you, I'll be able to defeat pretty much anyone..."

Tony blasts Giorno's head as he is teleported away.

Tony sneers. "Now that they're all gone and that I have Giorno Giovanna... We can now fight off that pesky Justice League."

It's weird that no one had ever thought of using Giorno to destroy/conquer the world other than Bill and Tony.

Yeah...
