Janken the Great
The reporter for this piece seemed to be standing in what looked like an honestly beautiful villa in a tropical climate. The reporter themself was an android with quite the uncanny resemblance to Evila herself, though her outfit was a deep orange color instead of the blue and black of the other robot's normal outfit.
"Welcome back to Casa Ken, home to the alien warlord Janken the Great. We're here tonight covering the massive display of dominance the world's greatest gamer had over rival Satan, the literal devil, this past month!" The android strikes a cutesy pose and winks to the camera; it cuts to footage of Janken himself standing and posing rather ridiculously.
"Yes, after a string of bad luck when it comes to evil plans it seems as if the alien warlord found the root of one of his rows as he claimed Satan, the literal devil, had been pushing cursed artifacts the devil didn't have use for into his lands, bringing down his luck. Challenging the devil to a game of his choice with the wager for the game being Satan taking back the artifacts AND he would be forced to admit Janken was luckier than the devil himself, the lord of the netherworld agreed on the condition that when he won, Janken's lands would become a dumping ground for all the things Satan had grown bored with."
"Let me tell you viewers, none were more surprised than Satan when Janken agreed to those terms. In a move that surprised all who know him, Satan chose to not bring Puyo Puyo into this match, but instead settled for something he simply called The Oldest Game."
As you watch the report, when The Oldest Game is named you can somehow feel the capitalization on the words, which also seems to stop the android for a moment, a look of confusion on its face. Shaking itself briefly, the smile returns to its face as it continues, "while we have no footage of the game itself as the lord of darkness shrouded the two in impenetrable darkness, noises of wails, howling, explosions, and then a dead silence followed. The black orb stood for a full ten minutes before falling and the world was shocked to see Satan, the prince of pride, bowing at the bloodied but unbowed Janken."
The picture does tell quite the story, both Kings showing a heavy level of damage, but Janken standing prideful and victorious over the bowing lord of hell.
"Satan has since fulfilled his end of the bargain, taking back his cursed items and declaring Janken the luckiest man in the world. Does this spell the end of the rivalry between these two factions with this dispute laid to rest? Not if Evila's Swingin Report Show has anything to say about it!"
Noa
Apparently, there are those who have really strange ideas about how to get their entertainment.
Apparently there was an island ran by the corporation Deathwatch for a big, bloody fight to the death for the entertainment of viewers at home.
You enjoy a little evil indulgence here and there, but the language used and some of the acts done were too much for even YOU to enjoy.
The man running the event, Noa (bah, what a boring name) was grinning as he appeared on TV.
"That's right folks! We have our biggest batch of new competitors yet! Let's see how two are feeling about this, shall we?"
"You EEDIOT! You can't do this to us! We know our rights!!!" A purple haired creature screamed in rage as he and several others were dragged off a boat.
"Duh, we do?" A large orange creature with thin legs blinked in surprise.
"The big boys are talking, Din-" The first man started, irritated, but is interrupted by some guards aiming guns at him.
"If you don't want to participate, we can just fucking splatter your brains now!" Noa said with a disturbing level of cheer.
"...N-No, I believe I am willing to make an attempt." The purple haired one gulped fearfully.
"Good! Now, I am sure all sixty two of you will make for a great show! Or at least entertaining deaths. Now get in there, fuckers!"
The two who had talked side-eyed as they and the other 60 poor saps were ushered in, The orange one muttering "Makes me miss The Doctor..." Before it transitioned to something else.
Dr. Roy Curien
"The Ultimate Reporter, Evila, here with the newest and most exciting news!" Evila presented herself as she and the camera looked at the current scene unfolding. "I'm currently on the Land of the Dead where an exciting battle is currently taking place!"
The camera shifts focus so the viewers can "admire" the current view.
The scene was set on what was the ruins of a desolate city, most of its building crumpling to rubble and several vehicles like care, helicopters and even tanks laid everywhere, destroyed and adding to the image of the devastation of the place.
There were 2 important things that catches the attention of all watching, the first one was there mountains of corpses littering the place, some of the looked human, the others…not so much.
But it was the other 2 figures standing amidst the countless of dead body that were more interesting, one of them was a woman, clad in red clothing, with long white haring flowing through the air, and wielding a massive scythe, facing the opposition, a strange, armored and levitating figure with horns and talons, who moved away quickly from any slashes from the maiden.
"As you may know, after the enigmatic Dr. Curien had declared his goals to share his greatest "gift", whatever that is, with all of us, this mysterious woman known as Brunhilde has single handedly stopped any and all attempts for the monsters to cross to neighboring areas." The reporter informed the audience as the battle between the two monstrous figures continued, destroying the landscape further.
"Sadly, the lady has never bothered to answer any attempts for an interview." Evila commented disappointedly as the monster started bombing the woman with several fireballs. "Oh what is this? Is this the time the famous Valkyrie falls to the forces of the Doctor?"
The Being raises his hands and somehow seems to be able to lock the warrior in place as she starts to float through the air, before the being makes a sharp motion with his hand and the lady is launched out of the city at really dangerous speeds.
"Aaaaaaaaannnnddd she is gone!" Evila reports with an intrigued tone, seeing the figure of Brunhilde get smaller and smaller as she is flung through the air. "Will this be the last time we see this mysterious warrior? Stay stuned to know more! Meanwhile, would you kind sir, share a few words with the audience about your victory?"
The armored figure just stares at Evila…before making the same motion and launching her through the air.
"I will be baaaaaacccccckkkkkk!!!!"
Wizeman
As the live feed started being transmitted, all viewers had the pleasure of watching what could be considered an Architect's nightmare, with bizarre structures in the distance, the sky a multicolored nightmare, and strange, weird, creatures flying around.
It's not long before the camera move and focuses on two figures standing in what was obviously a throne room.
One of them was a light grey skinned woman with blue and black clothing…and the other had so many similarities to Black Doom that a certain Egg shaped mad scientist couldn't help but be worried.
"I am the ultimate reporter, Evila!" The figure shouted with a mixture of a robotic tone and excitement, as she struck a pose. "And today, Space Channel 5 brings you a unique scoop never seen before! I, Evila, managed to obtain an interview with the one, the only, Wizeman the Wicked!" Evila does a spin in place as a spotlight falls over this supposed Wizeman, who floats with an air of pride and apathy.
"Today, the ruler of the land of Nightmares finally agreed to an interview, proclaiming he had an announcement to make!" The grey reporter continued to say as she moved her body flawlessly, showing dancing potential that would put most people jealous. "Tell us, oh great and mighty Wizeman! What was this great news that you wanted to share with everyone?!" She asked as a microphone floated right next to him.
"Yes…you pitiful mortals." The being known as Wizeman rumbled with a deep, angry voice. "Normally, I would not bother with wasting my time talking to the pathetic masses of my future victims, but today is a special occasion!" The being shouted as power seemed to surge through him.
"Rejoice! Oh, mortals. For I, Wizeman the Wicked are one step closer to plunging this land and all living beings into living darkness!" Thunder seems to strike out of nowhere, setting the mood. "Soon, nightmares shall spread throught the land and torture the minds and body of all feeble beings!" His floating hands seemed to tighten into fist as they spread far and wide.
"This is my proclamation of a New Era! Listen Mortals! Soon, my armies shall spread out, waking nightmares shall crush every resistance. You will face a power far beyond your reckoning! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" He laughed cruelly as darkness seemed to propagate through the area.
"Is this true?! That's amazing!" Evila shouts as she makes an over exaggerated gesture. "Please tell us, lord of Nightmares, what changed from a few months ago were you refused to divulge anything about your plans?"
"I finally managed to advance my timetable by… a considerable amount of months." The monster said as he turned to look behind his throne. "I have found a new source of Nightmares that have no match! Thanks to them, my new additions to my army has made them unstoppable!"
"Gather your forces! Make peace with your soon to be gone dreams, enjoy the last days of peace!"
"My new age of Darkness is coming, and is inevitable!"
The interview went on, with Wizemen bragging about his might and how he had crushed any attempt from his nearby rivals to stop him so far, it went for so long it was starting to get boring.
Black Doom (NAT 100!!!)
After checking the information that Rouge brought to you, you could understand her worry…
Black Doom seemed to have focused his forces anywhere but Green Hills. Letting Shadow and some of his forces siege Green Hills while he and his army seemed to invade several places. From some place called the Trusted States of America, to a place called Morning Land, to some place called Japan and everywhere in between.
But there was something odd…it didn't seem like he was invading truly, he was searching for something, the Chaos Emeralds, of course.
With how much ground he had covered these past months you feared that he might have one or more emeralds in his possession.
…You hated when you were right.
Staring at the supposed "Latest, urgent, News of Evila." You couldn't help but greet your teeth as the monitor showed the Black Arms Invasion over Syndicate City, the Black Arms destroying anything on it's path, as the common military of the place was unable to handle the might of the aliens.
The last footage that was seen before whatever apparatus was used to transmit it was troublesome.
Black Doom floating in the air as he seemed to float, heading straight to the highest building in the city…
And Shadow the Hedgehog appears out of nowhere with Gun in hand, as a loud bang is heard and the screen goes to black, cracks appearing on the video.
Oh Gears and Starters…
Result:
Black Doom and Shadow the Hedgehog are commiting a full out Invasion on Sindicate City, the Land owned by Mr. X.
And so far…they are completely and utterly wrecking his shit.
Black Doom has pulled out Shadow and is no longer focused on conquering Green Hills.
Dural
"And now! We cut our usual transmission to share a very important message from one of our Sponsors!" Evila shouted as she did a quick dance move. "Today, we are having, Breezie! Head of Breeze Media!"
You couldn't help but grit your teeth as you stared at the image of that annoying hedgehog sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, looking all elegantly as she regarded the camera with a sly smirk.
"Hello, oh dear watchers. I'm Breezie, CEO of Breeze Media, and long standing partner of Judgement 6." And she give a wide smirk, showing her bright teeth. "And I'm here to make an announcement."
Your blood boils when you recognize what the woman is saying, is she really daring to-
"We have the pleasure of announcing the opening of the Great World Fighting Tournament!" Breezie says elegantly, as a logo of a pair of Scales with a fist behind it is shown. "This will be the biggest, greatest, most amazing tournament that will be held since the Shattering took place!"
"We are looking for the strongest and most skilled fighters to appear on our tournament!" The green hedgehog says as she snaps her fingers and a list of rules appears in the screen behind her. "This event will be televised to all the people in the world, courtesy of our dear partners in Channel 5!"
"Only the best 16 Fighters will have the pleasure of participating in this tournament! In 3 Months, the city of Tokyo will have the pleasure of housing this amazing event taking place.
"And what is the reward, Breezie? Some may ask, well, for starters, we have an incredible prize money ready to be delivered to the champion!" A series of numbers appeared right alongside Breezie… those were lots of zeroes…
"But if money is not your only concern, whoever wins the tournament will also have the chance to ask a favor from Judgement 6, if it's within our power of course, dear! We don't like impossible tasks, do we?" She remarks slyly.
"And if that is not enough, if you manage to defeat our very own CEO and reigning champion of the city, then we have a very, very beautiful Prize ready for you." She gives a bright smile.
"See you all in the tournament!"
And with that the feed cuts out.
Results:
Learned about Breezie's tournament! Will take place at the start of Turn 8!

Adder
Evila herself appeared on the channel this time, giving a smile.
She was in some woods somewhere while what appeared to be... beetles were attacking the combined forces of several Mobians. The beetles were fierce, but they were losing badly as arrows flew. Leading the charge were a green snake Mobian in armor and ..
No...
SONIC!?
No, no... You knew your rival. The look in his eye was too serious, and he would never wear such a hideous brown hood.
"Hey ho howdy folks! This scoop was too choice for me to not come myself! As you know, this crazy wizard dude Adder wishes to rule every forest in the world! Totes hyper specific, but hey, I comment on the news, not make it! ...That Anyone can prove." She muttered the last part to herself.
"Anyways! Right now Adder's creepy crawlies are getting their butts kicked by Rob o' the Hedge and Lord Modred Hood! The crazy part is? They totallyyyy hate each other! But hey, war makes strange bedfellows!"
Evila casually ducked as a beetle covered in arrows went sailing past her head.
"Gadzooks, wench! Can thou not see we beeth in quite the bind?!" The hedgehog irritably stated.
"I can, that's why I am here! What can you tell me about your battle strategy?" Evila shrugged.
"Nothing. Now leave so we may handle our adversaries... The quicker they are taken out, the quicker things can get back to business as usual..." The snake huffed. He and the Hedgehog glared at each other, shooting over each other's heads to take out beetles about to sneak attack each other.
"Boringggg! Meh. This was getting boringly one-sided anyways. There you have it folks! In this wild new world, even mortal enemies can find common ground!"
Leland
While Mr. X was being savaged by Black Doom, the cameras were able to get ahold of a specific person sneaking into his territory.
It was Leland of Metro, and he claimed upon being caught he was "Going to fix up this city..." Before destroying the camera drones, though one secretly survived and continued to tail him.
As mentioned however, Mr. X was far too busy to worry about a lowly serial killing wannabe vigilante, and Leland was soon accosted by the Black Arms as well.
He barely escaped with his life, getting his hand and leg broken.
He growled angrily and vowed to return, though you doubt that will be anytime soon.
Neff
The next bit of news transmitted, for whatever reason, sent shivers down the spine of quite a few viewers. They couldn't put their fingers on it, but there were just... Bad vibes.
Neff, a demon, a GOD, should have been a fearsome opponent for anyone who opposed him... But a simple man in a white gi was easily tanking anything he threw at him as he slowly but surely approached the demon. No matter what minions or attacks were thrown, they were countered by the strange man, monsters falling by his hand, energy attacks somehow being grabbed and thrown over his shoulder.
"Do. You have. A Sega Saturn?" Was all the man said as he finally arrived mere feet from Neff.
"...No." Neff said defiantly.
The beating that was delivered was so savage that soon enough the transmission was changed for the viewers' sake, though many claim to see Neff explode... Twice.
???
As mentioned, the land where that signal was coming from was under attack by Aliens, but to your surprise, they repelled them easily enough. It's like the weather itself conspired to assist the ruler...
The aliens were battered by hail and heavy rain and the few that made it down were taken out by surprise guns.
After his victory over the initial invasion force, the man addressed his citizens.
"Ha! These aliens are fools if they think they can take out our great nation! All that oppose us will fall to our might! In fact..."
He swiped his cape and in chains were a pink hedgehog, a green hedgehog and a strange blue and long haired woman with a white shirt and pink squares on her hair.
... Actually, strangely, only the hedgehogs were chained up, the blue haired woman was clearly unhappy but was just standing there.
"These rapscallions have opposed me with their disruptive tunes for too long! They will be put to death by the guillotine 1 day after these aliens are handled! Let them serve as an example to those who oppose me..."
"So not cool..." The young green hedgehog grunted defiantly.
Hmmm... Those two seemed... familiar ...
"Music should be free to be heard by all who wish to hear it! You can't keep it out forever!" The blue haired woman cried.
"Well... we'll see about that, won't we?" The man sneered as the transmission finally ended.
