It is Day 1. Slowly, the Challengers gather in the stage that has been set for them today: The Battlefield.
[SIZE="4"]Still crushed[/SIZE] by the death of Nana, Popo sits by the edge of the main platform, weeping. A few of the Challengers attempt to console him but the tears of the Ice Climber fall like snow upon land; never-ending. The anguish is obvious, and no one fails to feel the emotion.
"Look," declares the leader of the group, "we can't just sit here doing nothing. We have to--"
His speech is cut as a voice piercing the heavens.
It says, "Welcome, Challengers. This is your battlefield for today. I am Duon, your host."
The Challengers face a faraway platform, where the host stands.
"Wait!" Popo shouts. "You're evil!"
"No I am not," retorts the massive machine. "Since Tabuu's first defeat I attained enlightenment. You may call me Host, or Duon."
Duon makes no effort to stop and continues, "You know why you are here. A few that are among you possess evil. Weed them out; vote to kill one of them today. The Subspace Emissary has re-emerged, and it must not grow stronger."
"But how do we do that?" A voice pierces the silence. "We don't even know each other that well!"
"Very well," Duon replies. "I shall provide a hint for you. Perhaps that will help."
A magical screen appears in front of each Challenger and a video begins playing.

"What the hell was that about?" yells the leader after the video stops playing. "How is this supposed to be a hint?"
"Figure it out," answers the omniscient machine.
It is now Day 1. The current stage is The Battlefield. The day will end at approximately 8:00 PM PST on Friday, February 25.
