We open to a large stadium that floated in the center of space as televised images were shown with Buizel standing in the ring.

"Ladies and gents, this is your lucky day. It's time for a special exhibition. Here we have boxers from all over ready to beat your brains out. Teams are eligible to compete and the winner receives a genuine badge. So don't miss out to compete in...Furious Fists Redux!" he said as the screen cut.

The two teams were already at the stadium by the time this message got in.

"How longs it been since we did some boxing, huh guys?" Rainbow said.

"So this is what you put Knuckles through? Furious Fists." Hope said.

"Yep. Our first tournament battle. I was gonna fight, but some...incident got me...banned from boxing." Vector said.

A didgeridoo then played as a kangaroo hopped by sticking his tongue out at Vector.

"Man I hate that kangaroo." Vector said. "But with Knuckles, our one time boxing champ, we're sure for an easy win."

"Yeah. I was hoping to get a little work out." Knuckles said stretching a bit.

"So it looks like Knuckles is getting back into the right for our Furious Fist redo!" Dedenne said. "Boxers from the WVBA are here. In fact, all of the participants are the same opponents little mac beat in his day, and four of them are sure to have their eyes on Knuckles."

"Yeah. Glass Joe, King Hippo, Bald Bull and Don Flamenco. Those chumps never stood a chance with our champ." Chie said.

"Bring it on! I'll take them on!" Knuckles said.

"But wait! Hope, your team has no fighter capable of fighting with his or her own fists. Who are you gonna pick as a representative than?" Dedenne said.

"Oh great. All my members are weapons or some strange specialists. I could go in, but…" Hope said before seeing the boxers smiling evilly as the same kangaroo tossed a dart at Hope's picture which was on a dart board.

"Yup. They'll murder you." Vector said. "Especially Joey. I know. I have scars."

"Great, how are we supposed to get that badge now?" Titanica said.

"Wait, Dedenne, there a rule about another member from a different team helping another?" Yang asked.

"Yeah. it is allowed but the boxer would have to share with the team they help." Dedenne said.

"Perfect. I'll box for him." Yang said.

"Yang!" Hope said.

"You carried me through Hollow Bastion. I think It's time I owed up to what you did. Besides, this is good practice for when I come across Bass again." Yang said.

"Okay. The boxer's have been picked. The tourney starts tomorrow so spend today training!" Dedenne said.

"Oh yeah! I'll go get the bike and the raw meat!" Usopp said.

"Yang, you want us to train you?" Hope said.

"Nah, I;m good. When i fight, I can really do this, training or not." Yang said.

"My big sis is gonna get you through this Hope. Well be in the finals together for sure." Ruby said before hearing barking as Usopp was running from wild dogs.

"Now I remember why I hated this part!" he shouted.

"Guess we better save him… again…" Rainbow said as they ran off to get him.

"Hahah! Just as funny as I remember." said a familiar voice as Grav and Heracross came up.

"Oh it's you! Grav, right? You competing in furious universe too?" Hope asked.

"Nope, just fists. And I'm not fighting, my beetle buddy is. He's gonna take gold this time, I guarantee." Grav said.

"Well, good luck heracross." Hope said only to find heracross didnt speak. "Uh, Grav? Is heracross mute?"

"He only believes in talking through fighting, never through words. It's the way...of a well seasoned fighter." Grav said.

"I get it. But dont expect this to be easy. Heracross and Knuckles are probably gonna face one another again. I;ve seen the showdown, it was VERY close." Hope said.

"Heh. Its true some events repeat themselves, but that doesn't mean the same outcomes gonna happen." Grav said as he and Heracross walked off.

"Don't underestimate him, Yang. Heracross isn't a pushover." Knuckles said as the groups split off.
