Elysium

## How Elysium joined the Tourney

Sophitia was fighting Cervantes and managed to destroy the female half of SoulEdge during her fight with him. But she was badly injured by the shards and about to lose the fight. Kunimitsu came for help and ended the battle by killing Cervantes. Kunimitsu managed to extract most shards out of Sophitia's body, but one remained near her heart: when she gave birth to Pyrrha and Patroklos, both of her children were "tainted". Tira was interested in Sophitia's children because they were potential hosts for SoulEdge and she managed to kidnap Pyrrha. Prior to *Super Smash Bros. Brawl's* release date, Sophitia tried to rescue Pyrrha, but was told that her daughter was now so tainted that she could no longer survive without SoulEdge. Sophitia had no other choice and cooperated with Nightmare and Tira to protect the sword... And her child. In the end, Heihachi Mishima arrived and defeated Nightmare, and Sophitia had to sacrifice her life in order to save Pyrrha's, by transplanting her last Soul Edge shard in her daughter's body, despite that Sophitia survived. Now, Elysium has risen, and she encountered the Super Combot DX, and everyone went to the Smash Bros. Tourney to get a trophy.
