"We have many matches to show you tonight, all between thirty two different fighters, spanning from all over Asia and parts of Russia.  All thanks to Mr. Arthur Morgan, Earl of Moycullen, Ireland.  So, without further pause, let us give our fighters a round of applause as they all come out!  Mr. Morgan, whenever you are ready!"

Arthur stood up, waving at the crowd before grasping a glowing white and blue acorn from his bracelet.  With a soft squeeze, the acorn floated in the air before zooming across the way to Mr. Ly, smaller blue, red, green and white acorns popping out and going off in random directions.  The main blue and white acorn settled at Mr. Ly's feet before growing to a larger size.  Mr. Ly chuckled as the acorn's top began to glow, music playing from it.

Start song here

The acorn top popped open and started vibrating with a low hum.  All sorts of lights shot out from it, showing off a display of fireworks and white energy just as the first verse came in.

Somehow it seems your secret′s well protected

A white shield appeared around the entire stadium, lighting everything up as fireworks continued to fly around the arena.

And the ghost under your bed so far away

People pointed at the stream lights flashing throughout the area.

Promises you won't keep and friends rejected

White fog started entering from one side of the arena.

Another stepping stone you′re using on your way

Fighters dressed in their armor started making their way from the foggy entrance to the middle of the arena.

Now sister for the fun you had
The Devil's coming and her mood is bad

People began to cheer louder as the fighters began showing off their moves a little.

So say your prayers your soul to save
Her tiptap shoes they will dance on your grave

Arthur began tapping his fingers on his knee with a giant grin.

Just to keep the future from the unexpected

More fighters began appearing from the side entrance.

You flip another coin down in the wishing well
Another night you spend with puppets disconnected

As the fighters lined up, they waved to the crowd.  Most of them, at least.

If nothing else at least you have your soul to sell

Arthur smirked, tingling with anticipation as more fireworks went off.

Hey sister keep your senses clear
A crash is closer than it appears

Arthur saw Tora coming out and he clapped and pointed at her.

Fame is a drug, better use it well
You look for heaven but end up in hell

Let me tell you about a man I know
Deep in the jungle of New Mexico
In the smoke he got his vision clear
Until the day he died and disappeared

Now where he's gone no one can ever tell
Another coin down in the wishing well
Under the influence, defenses down
You know what goes around comes around
