- Where The Fight Takes Me
The first ever World Tournament of Earth One had been opened by Firestar, God of Fire and guardian of the planet. The purpose was to determine the greatest fighter on the planet, who would in turn become the leader of Team Firestar. Team Firestar would be responsible for defending Earth One from the most dangerous threats. Only the most elite could take on such danger, and only the greatest champion could determine who the elite truly were. Firestar's protege, Crusader, was expected to win the tournament. However, he had been challenged by great fighters in their own right.
Lone Wolf had had an impressive showing in the tournament despite being its only competitor without powers. The mutants Spirit Rider and Shell Shock had also battered almost everybody who stood in their way. And, of course, Crusader had proven why he was the tournament favorite with impressive wins over every opponent so far. The final round of the tournament saw Crusader take on Spirit Rider for the illustrious title of Champion of Earth One. It was a mighty clash with both fighters giving everything they had. It had now come down to the final push.

Scott Young was panting and bleeding behind his Voltari Armor. Eric Coverdale was among the toughest fighters that he had ever faced. The wind master himself was panting and bleeding from the face, as well. However, he had not lost his cool demeanor even once throughout the tournament. Scott knew that he had to keep it together, as well. He instinctively sensed that it was time to unleash his best technique.
Eric had the same thought. He knew that Nick was cheering him on from the infirmary right now. He had to give this fight his all. Summoning his motorcycle, he mounted it and began hitting the throttle and brake at the same time. His green Soul Aura flared up as he charged his power. The man also known as Spirit Rider was going to give it his all this time.
Scott read the signs and realized that it was time for him to give it all he had, as well.
Let's go for broke, Valor.
The Voltari said nothing but Scott could sense his determination. Just like him, he hadn't worked this hard and come this far just to blow it now. Scott tightened his Muay Thai stance and looked Eric right in the eyes.
"Come and get it," he said as his combined Soul Aura erupted in a fierce display of challenge.
Eric took his foot off of the brake and twisted the throttle to full speed. He raced at Scott, intending to hit him with full force. Focusing his Soul Energy into his arms, Scott waited until he was in range. Cocking his fist back, he stepped forward to meet the assault.
Million Punches of Valor!!!
Scott hammered away at the motorcycle, pushing it back as Eric continued to charge forward.
On the final punch, Scott charged it up with all of the power he had left. Both men screamed as their souls caught fire. Scott pushed forward and finally broke through. Eric's motorcycle shattered and he took the devastating punch to the face. He flew out of the outdoor arena and crashed into the wall. Scott was so exhausted that he could no longer maintain his armor and fell onto his knees.
The crowd watching all over the world erupted in cheers. Firestar appeared in the ring and helped Scott to his feet. He raised his arm in victory.
"Your winner and the Champion of Earth One! Crusader!"
Scott beamed, feeling very accomplished and proud in that moment.
After being announced the winner, Firestar opened an orange portal to teleport him instantly to New York City. Press from all around the world greeted him and he held an impromptu press conference.
"Congratulations on your victory, Crusader. What do you plan to do now?"
"I'm going to start testing candidates for Team Firestar, who will be headquartered right here in New York. To help me protect Earth One from the worst, I will need the best."
An hour after that press conference, Scott was finishing cleaning up Firestar's old house. It was a large house that might need expanding as the team grew. He planned to wait for the candidates to come and predicted that it wouldn't be long. Almost everyone on the planet had watched the World Tournament. Crusader would have to prepare himself to be team leader. A knock sounded at the door and he opened it to greet the first candidates.
