Well, I was looking at your idea for how the story starts, & it seems a bit too straightforward. From what I see, it's just "Everyone ended up somewhere, & now they have to fight". Maybe I'm just used to more complex stories, but I think a better start could be made.

One idea is we have a major villain that triggers the events of the story, getting the heroes & villains to fight each other in some way (maybe he forces them to fight for his amusement, hypnotizes them, or tricks them). It escalates the story by giving it a good reason for starting rather than it seemingly happening for no reason.

Another idea is a dimensional crisis that both fuses & threatens our character's universes, putting them in situations where they have to fight each other. I don't know exactly what the crisis will be, but I'm thinking the Randomension (Crab Monster's home universe) will explode, its residual energy causing the universes to combine. The cause of this explosion would be an infinularity (the opposite of a singularity), which is now infinitely growing across the multiverse, threatening to crush all universes.

Perhaps the ending would have our winners find a way to stop the infinularity, putting everything back to normal.

Besides that, we need to actually start the tournament. We haven't written a single fight yet.
