8-Bit Wonder

"Phew, that was scary!"

Drifting through the vast reaches of space, aboard the DSS Souleye, is where you'll find the vigilant CAPTAIN VIRIDIAN. Upon hearing about dimensional disturbances appearing in Utah, the Captain and their crew landed back on Earth to settle the conundrum, only for them to get swept up into the tournament itself. Taking a leap of faith, Viridian's going to get to the bottom of Skeletor's machinations, even if it means flipping the entire restaurant on its head. Not like that'd prove a problem for them of all people...
