The latest edition of Tournament Smashers is here!!

Battra had lain dormant in the cave of wonders. It had been centuries since he had walked the earth. Knowing that he could bring untold destruction on the world, the Gotei 13 and the Ice Jins had teamed up to lock Battra away in the cave…for all eternity! And he very well may have stayed there….until this happened!

Giant Octopus has been swimming through the ocean. He wanted to eat! He saw a boat with some mortals in it. “IT’S A GIANT MONSTER!” one of the crew yelled as he dove in the ocean. “I don’t believe in Giant Monsters, fire the cannons!” The Captain yelled as the crew ignored him and all abandoned ship. “Snap!” The Captain yelled as the Giant Octopus loomed over him.

After Giant Octopus has finished crushing the ship into a million pieces, he spied some hellicopters over him. “hahahahahahahahaha!” they all seemed to taunt as they flew just out of Giant Octopus’s attack range. “Grrrr,” Giant Octopus said as he swam after them.

“So…why are we luring a giant monster to that creepy cave again?” asked the scared guy in the back. His name was Sena and he preferred to have solid land at his feet. Being in the air wasn’t his idea of a good time. “No time to explain!” Machtackle said as they flew closer to the cave.

Giant Octopus lunged towards them. “HE”S FAST!” Sena yelled as the Giant Octopus grabbed the copter. “Snap!” They yelled as the helicopter exploded. The Giant Octopus was now satisfied. He had beaten his greatest opponents yet. He saw a purple stone in the cave. Giant Octopus crushed it with his head. Suddenly a giant purple beam of light hit the sky and formed a pentagram symbol.

“Nandate!” Giant Octopus yelled as the symbol hovered over a certain spot and fired a giant energy blast. For a second, everything was still. Sudddenly, the ground caved in. “WHOA!” Giant Octopus yelled as he went down. A creature flew up from the ground and roared with such force that the whole cave shook. “I’ve gotta get out of here!” Giant Octopus yelled as he headed for the water.

Battra looked down at the world from the sky. Everything looked so different. Why was there so much water? It mattered little to Battra in the end as he spotted Giant Octopus. It was time for dinner! Battra roared a warning to Giant Octopus and then dashed towards him. In an instant, Battra rammed into Giant Octopus from behind.

Giant Octopus was sent into the ground 500 meters under sea level. “Foolishness!” Giant Octopus yelled as his tentacles grabbed Battra. The water was his domain and in it, he reigned supreme! Giant Octopus noticed purple energy going around Battra. It was the last thing he noticed before everything went black.

“What happened? Giant Octopus thought as he regained his vision. He was being carried through the air and was a couple thousand feet high. “Put me down!” Giant Octopus yelled as he swung his tentacle at Battra. Battra dropped Giant Octopus and dodged the blow.

“This is the end!” Battra yelled as he shot a giant blast of purple energy. He heard Giant Octopus yelling stuff in defiance, but couldn’t make it out over the sound of himself roaring. Giant Octopus hit the ground at 1000mph. Battra knew that Giant Octopus would not survive it.

Still…why take chances Battra thought as he flew towards the ground. The Giant Octopus was on the ground…motionless. Battra prepared to blast him again, but a tentacle wrapped itself around his neck. Battra couldn’t focus enough to fire the blast and was sent tumbling into a wall.

Giant Octopus knew that if he let go…it would probably be the end of him. “If I go down..you go down first!” Giant Octopus yelled as the rest of his arms grabbed Battra. Giant Octopus slammed him to the ground and then slammed him into a mountain.

Battra knew that he couldn’t let Giant Octopus keep swinging him around forever. It was now or never! Battra fired another intense blast of purple energy. It sent Giant Octopus back and made him relinquish his grip on Battra. Battra flew into Giant Octopus. Giant Octopus hit the ground and then Battra blasted Giant Octopus at full power. For good measure, Battra dropped a mountain over Giant Octopus.

The fight was over..and Battra knew that he wouldn’t forget it. He roared in triumph and saw a kid waving a scorecard. “You won your first Tournament Smashers match!” Hope yelled as he jumped up and down. Hmmm….destroying one more person couldn’t hurt Battra thought as he turned towards Hope.
