Round 1 Match 21: @ohgodwhyisitreal vs. @spookyscaryphantoms
Writer: @dannyphandump
“Alright frootloops, it’s the last match of the night! I wanna see you guys make it count!” Tali called down into the ring below. Danny, Tucker, and Sam leaned forward in their seats. It was getting late, and they’d probably want to be home in time to get some rest before school tomorrow. At least Danny likely wouldn’t have to worry about fighting any ghosts tonight since so many of them were in the audience here.
“Stepping up with an excellent taste in music is @ohgodwhyisitreal!”
The speakers began blasting the nightcore remix of Cascada’s Every Time We Touch. Tali couldn’t help dancing along with embarrassing arm motions in her seat. The trio scooted away from her slightly to avoid getting whacked.
“And his opponent, the amazing ghost who read my 150k Kingdom Hearts OC fic in the year of our Lord 2019: @spookyscaryphantoms!”
“At least they’re not talking about dissection fic this time,” Danny muttered under his breath.
“PHIGHT!”
Spooks Malone (ohgodwhyisitreal) raised his arms, and the nightcore remix suddenly blared so loud that the soundwaves became visible, as could only happen in the realm of cartoon logic.
“Geez, even I can’t appreciate that!” Tucker shouted. “And I like nightcore!”
“Same, bro,” Tali replied. How they could hear each other over the blasting music was also a miracle of cartoon logic.
“Where did Sunsi go?” She asked. Sunsi (spookyscaryphantoms) didn’t look like they were in the arena— had they been yeeted out already?
“Under there!” Sam pointed to a hairline crack in the arena floor. Hadn’t the janitors patched that up? Well, that was what they got for flooring the stadium with cobblestone instead of something like diamond, Tali guessed.
Sunsi’s form seeped back up out of the crack, their blue mohawk appearing first and their ghostly tail flickering out last.
“Nice try!” They shouted before ripping open a packet of hot chocolate and flinging it in Spooks Malone’s face.
The music crackled as Spooks wiped their palms against their eyes. “Agh! What is this— cinnamon??”
“It’s like pepper spray, but tastier.” Sunsi licked their fingers as Spooks Malone flew into a wall, knocking himself out.
“An excellent battle with an excellent— if deafening— soundtrack,” Tali commented before blowing her kazoo. “Ohgodwhyisitreal is unable to battle! Spookyscaryphantoms wins!”
Sunsi blew kisses to the crowd that was slowly exiting the stadium.
“Thanks for tuning in to round 1! Come back on Thursday the 16th for more yeeting, rants about Mario Kart, and other phandom shenanigans! And be sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep!”
“I think you should take your own advice there,” Danny told Tali while taking Sam and Tucker’s arms in preparation for the flight home.
“You know what, I think I will.”
Tali spread out her coat on the VIP box floor and immediately passed out.
