Tournament hosted by [[Dareon]] in June 2004. This tournament was hosted on the [http://forum.randominsanity.org Random Insanity] forums. The sponsor pool of the tournament was originally intended to be all-reprisals; however, many more players took advantage of the broad sponsor pool that allowed any anime or video game character to be sponsored.

* There were no eliminations from the third through the fifth round, so all who survived the first two rounds lasted until the semifinals. Damage totals were cumulative between rounds.
== Storyline ==
The competitors were recruited by [[Ralph]] and given the motivation (in most cases) of being granted their heart's desires in exchange for coming along and aiding him in a task that would be revealed later. The option of the tournament as vacation time was also put forth, but most opted for their heart's desires. The first two areas were idyllic, well-suited for vacation spots, but beginning with the third round, they began taking on a more and more sinister aspect. As the sponsors reached the final round, it was revealed that Hell's Lord, who had been one side of the second most exciting draw in magical history as the continuation of [[Amethyst]]'s storyline, had corrupted the round locations in order to weaken the sponsors. However, after a long, drawn-out battle, [[Hisame Shizumaru]] severed Hell's Lord from Amethyst, freeing the mage to pursue his own ends. In the end, all five finalists were given their heart's desires or something close to it, and the remainder of the contestants were given helpful items or information for use in their home unverses.
