Soon after everyone was able to escape hell, Gooseworx took a walk by herself. Thinking about everything that brought her to this point. She admired everything about this world, as she was beneath its surface for months.

GOOSEWORX: 16th place huh. I never thought I'd win but that's just...depressing.
GOOSEWORX: But, why am I so distraught about it? It's not a big deal. It's just a silly..tournament.
GOOSEWORX: I have better things to do anyways with my life!
*But as she began to say these words, her eyes started to tear up.*
GOOSEWORX: Does nobody like my music? Is it...that bad?
*Gooseworx begins to sat on the ground, staring above at the stars.*
???: Hey.
*A familiar figure appeared behind Gooseworx.*
URAMIKO: You aren't bad at all!! If it helps, I also have never won a match!
URAMIKO But y'know what, that's okay!! We both have another shot to win! We can show the world what we're truly made of, and then we can rub in everyone's pathetic faces!!! 
*Gooseworx understood what Uramiko was trying to say, even though she didnt agree with EVERYTHING she said.*
GOOSEWORX: Yeah..you're right! What am I doing?! *Gooseworx began to stand up* People love me!
GOOSEWORX: And next time, I'll try even harder, and this time, I'LL WIN!!!! Whether it be one match or even the whole tournament, I'LL DEFINITELY WIN, AND I SWEAR BY IT!!

Story By: anon
Character Subbed By: anon

"Bah! Those skallywags have no respect for a king!"
K. Rool sits down in the captains quarters, looking down at the map in front of him. 
"... How dare they make me lose?!? I am a KING!"
He throws an unlit lantern across the room, clearly upset.
"... Atleast the Kremlings back at home know to respect their kap'n."

After a couple of days, the kremling king arrives back home, and enters the Kong's old banana hoard. Nothing remained, except for the sign.
"... I remember when I sent me minions here to steal the monkey's bananas. Those were the days."
He then sees something in the corner of his eye. It was a banana! The Kong's must've forgotten it. 
"... Well, atleast I have a treat, as a minor comfort."
He peels it, and takes a bite.
"... I'll be back, Rave Week. Mark me words."
... He then spits out the banana.
It was rotten.

6th Place - King K. Rool. Now we're getting into the competitors that did much better than the rest, starting with King K. Rool!(Average Percentage - 49.73%)

Round 1 - In a match that seemed to be hyped up from the start, King K. Rool beats Giovanni, in a battle of Villains!(55.9% - 44.1%)

Round 2 - While many were rooting for Baba and projecting his win, K Rool narrowly gets the upper-hand and defeats the crude puzzle protagonist. (51.1% - 48.9%)

Round 3 - In a match which still remains one of the best Rave Week tracks: Fox And Foxx finally stop the Kremling King. But it's alright, King K. Rool still put up one hell of a fight! (57.8% - 42.2%)

Character [05] - Stupendiguy

Lights, camera, action! Falling into the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y. is The Stupendium, but from the show of it, he seems to be living someone else's game. Sporting the neon PVC of the Fall Guys, Stupendiguy has climbed in face-first, and he plans to fight through the terminal velocity of the bracket. His hell is members only, and for those that have slid into the void, his path of the starving artist will prove that the house always wins. If you'd rather drop dead, that's fine, but he won't bury deeper down the possibility of an exhibit for those chasing crowns they'll never see. This rogue's gallery has a speaker system, and today's the day he's chose to rise!
