World Tournament: Preliminaries

After the introductions was officially completed, all the participants were taken to the floating island in the sky. There was a huge maze on the island that all participants must fight within. In the center of the maze was a huge inner temple, which will be used in the end for the ceremony of the end of the preliminaries. There were four entrances into the maze. However, each participant was issued a map of the maze. By following the map, they can reach the opponent they must fight. The maze can be used to fight inside and confuse their opponents. Finally, each participant had one partner with them to fight in the greatest tag team battle in history.

The announcer's voice can be heard from all directions within the maze. He said, "Everyone, please remember that you MUST follow the map exactly. If you do not follow the map exactly, then you will run into many impossible monsters to defeat and be disqualified automatically. However, you are able to use the maze as an advantage...or disadvantage...against your opponent. Go in any direction you want, but beware of the monsters and of the opponents following you and your partner. I will tell you one thing, there is only one type of monster in this maze, but the monsters will get annoying if you leave the battlefield and go throughout the maze. But don't forget you must first follow the map to meet your opponents. Now then, you don't know who your opponent is so go and follow the map! I wish you all good luck and remember, there will absolutely be no killing. The objective of the game is to knock out both your opponents without killing them, or making them surrender. Once you accomplish this, both you and your partner, even if your partner was knocked out himself, will be able to join the finals. Now then, give us a good fight!"
