The white room is silent and empty, still bloody from the last fight. All of a sudden, the room starts to shake violently. It slowly changes, four corners turn into five then six, and finally seven. In an instant, one character appears in each corner. They don't move as they are paralyzed for now. The seven all hear a loud voice speak with barely contained excitement.
"Welcome to the white room. You have the lucky opportunity to be the first to fight in a seven-way battle in the history of the white room, isn't that exciting?"
No one answers as they are all paralyzed.
"The only way out of this room is to be the last one alive out of the seven of you. If more than one is still alive by one hour of the start of the fight, all of you will die." Explained the voice "But before you fight, let's introduce you to each other."
"In the first corner, Leticia Avene Vandreik-Hoffen from the "In this life, I will live peacefully" universe."
Leticia is a tall young woman. She is muscular and curvy, has olive skin and her light blond hair goes down to her shoulders. She is wearing shiny plate armor trimmed with gold and armed with a longsword.
"In the second corner, Hurbert Ford coming from, ahhh-" The sound of paper crinkling can be heard. "Ha, that is new. Apparently, Hurbert comes from a universe that does not exist yet."
Hurbert is a young tall man. He got an average build, long tied blond hair, and round glasses. He is wearing a long fancy brown coat, a blue suit with a red tie, and brown fancy dress shoes. He is armed with a rapier, holding it in his right arm. He is to the left of Leticia.
"In the third corner, M00N from the "AKM: AUTOMATED KILLING MACHINES" universe."

"In the fourth corner, 8 The Finite form the "8 The Infinite" universe."
8 looks like an average young man. His height is average and so is his build. He got short brownish hair and is wearing what looks like grey old rags. He has a short fancy sword in one hand and a small crossbow in his left. He is to the left of M00N.
"In the fifth corner, BRICK from the "B R I C K" universe."
BRICK is just a brick. Nothing special, just a normal-looking orange brick. He is to the left of 8.

"The fight will start in three, two, one. Paint the room red!" The seven can move now.
Without thinking twice, 8 cuts his own throat with his sword. He falls to the floor, drowning in a pool of his own blood.
Hurbert does not move, he is not too eager to straight-up kill does innocent (as far as he knows) strangers in front of him. M00N on the other hand does not have that problem, as she was designed to kill. She charges Hurbert with extreme speed, grabbing his rapier with her bare left hand. With her right she punches, going right for his face. Hurbert barely manages to move his head to the side in time. M00N's fist hits the wall behind him with enough force to crush a human skull. Hurbert swallows, realizing that he barely dodged certain death.
With his hesitation gone, Hurbert uses magic to conjure flame from his left hand like a flamethrower. M00N's clothing burn and her skin slowly melt to reveal a metal skeleton beneath. M00N gives Hurbert a creepy smile with what is left of her melted face, filling him with terror.
Meanwhile, Leticia charges Red with a heroic war cry. Red just shoots her in the chest. The bullet did not breach the armor but dented it with enough force to break a couple of Leticia's ribs. The shoot made her stumble and fall right in front of red.
"Why would you charge me when I have a gun you dumb bitch?" Said Red with a smile on her face.
Leticia tries to stand up but fails, moaning in pain. "What the fuck is a gun?!"
"This is a gun." Red shoots her again in the chest, this time the bullet dose penetrates the armor.
On the other side of the room, BRICK shoots himself towards Vreth. Right before he hits her, she stops him in mid-air using her rock shaping ability. Without even thinking she throws him to the other side of the room. Then she opens her sack to reveal it is full of earth and rocks. She uses that to build a hard cocoon around her.
Meanwhile, M00N is about to punch Hurbert again. Before she can do that, a hard BRICK hits her in the head. She falls to the floor, twitching unnaturally, sparks flying out of her joints. Hurbert takes a deep breath to relax. Then he realizes something. The announcer said it was a seven-way fight, but he can only see five others besides him. Just at that moment of realization, BRICK hits him in the face, blowing his head to pieces.
Looking for her next victim, Red spots the stone cocoon to her right. She shoots it a couple of times but only one bullet manages to almost get inside the cocoon. Vreth hears the shots and turns the cocoon into a wall in front of her. She slowly advances the wall towards where she thinks the shots came from.
Before Red can react, she hears a loud war cry from behind her, and a swift slash from a long sword decapitates her. Leticia Kicks Red's headless body to the floor. Bloody footprints can be traced to where Leticia was just laying, bleeding to death moments ago. On the floor drawn with blood, lays a magical circle Leticia used to heal her wounds almost completely.
Getting close enough, Vreth throws her wall forwards with considerable force. It hits Leticia, making her collide with the white wall. That was not even close to enough to kill Leticia, but as soon as she gets up, a BRICK hits her in the face, breaking her skull and spraying the wall with her brain and blood.
All this time, BRICK was slowly making his way to the others, trying not to draw attention. Like the veteran of many wars that he is, he found the perfect time to strike.
Vreth thought it was over, all she had to do was blow the most deadly brick ever into pieces with her powers. She thought wrong, something grabbed her leg dropping her to the floor. She was now at eye level with Red's decapitated head.
"I'M I- am n-nnot that easssy to-to k-kill." said the head stuttering.
Red's former body lost its form as many nanites swarmed from it to Vreth. They entered her mouth and ears and eyes. Vreth tries to fight it, kicking and screaming, picking up BRICK and random rocks with her power trying to control the parasites entering her body, but it is futile. The nanites entered her bloodstream making some of her blood flow out of every hole in her body to make enough space for them. Some of them borrow their way to her bones, integrating with them and making them stronger.
As they made their way to the brain, Vreth's personality gets suppressed as Red takes over. Red gets up and immediately throws up all sorts of things Vreth's body does not need anymore. Accessing Vreth's memory, she can now control Vreth's earth-shaping powers. With a shaky step, she gets up and blows BRICK to pieces with her new powers.
"Congratulation Rei, you are the winner of the second round." Says the excited voice as confetti starts to fill the room.
Red smile, pretty pleased with the new flesh puppet she got.
"Good luck in the next fight." Says the voice.
Red's smile disappears. "What?! That was not the de-"
Red and the bodies of the others disappeared.
All that is left is the blood from the two previous battles, painting the white room red.
