Chapter 1

Kusa wandered through town aimlessly, hoping to find something to do. Things where she lived were always plain and dull. Fixing her bandanna, Kusa sighed and sat down inside a cafe. She stared out the window, a look of dismay on her face.

"There's nothing to do, and I'm extremely bored." She muttered, "Why can't something come and make my day better?" She leaned back on the chair and continued to look out the window. Today, the sky was much duller than usual, which had made her curious-although her curiosity had vanished within her boredom.

'It's a bit strange that the sky is different today.' Kusa thought to herself, standing up. 'It looks like a void is forming in the center of it...' She quickly dashed out of the cafe and rushed through the streets of town, hoping that she could get to the bottom of THIS "mystery".

She stopped running when she made it to the park. There was an eerie silence within the area, making her feel uneasy. There were no people in the park like there usually was, just adding on to the uneasiness. Kusa glanced around and took a step forward. Dark energy shot out of the ground and into her direction. She covered her face with her arms and stepped back, tripping in the process. She fell on her rear and stared at the dark energy now emitting from the ground.

"W, what is this?" Kusa asked out loud, crawling to the dark energy, "It made a hole..." She peered down the hole that had appeared from all the dark energy. She looked around before standing up. "Is anyone even seeing this?" Swallowing the lump in her throat, Kusa looked down at the hole once again. She was tempted to go down and see where it went, but a part of her was telling her to get away from it as fast as she could.

But before she could do anything, the black portal began to emit electricity as it began to have it's own graviational pull. Kusa felt herself being slowly pulled in, much to her dislike. She tried to get away from it, but the pull was too strong. Before she knew it, Kusa was pulled into the dark hole, and she couldn't even struggle to get out of it. Once it pulled her in completely, the hole closed, and everything returned back to normal in the park.

Cheering was heard from all over the arena as the fighters took stage. Two maidens watched from above as two heroes entered the stage as trohpies. They then took form as normal humans, and got into fighting positions. The two girls watched with bright expressions as the two began to fight.

"Our tournament is going to be great." The burnette told the blonde, "Don't you agree, Peach?" Peach nodded in agreement with her friend, keeping her eyes on the man in red down below.

"I couldn't agree more." Peach responded, "And Mario's doing great out there." She watched in awe as Mario fought with the little pink creature down below. Zelda giggled, and gave Peach a small smile.

"Of course you'd say that." Zelda nudged her friend slightly, "You like him after all." Peach blushed slightly and ignored her remark.

"What about you?" Peach quickly retorted, "Why didn't you invite Link?" It was then Zelda's turn to blush, as she waved to peach with her hand.

"H, he was busy!" Zelda quickly replied, "O, oh look!" Someone one!" Zelda pointed to the stadium nervously. Peach looked down and saw that Mario was victorious.

"Great job, Mario!" She called down to him, "Congratulations!" Mario smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up. The creature he had been fighting was turned back into a trophy. Zelda opened her mouth to speak when the stadium was violently shook by an unknown force.

"What's going on?" Zelda shouted, as the shaking suddenly stopped. "How did that happen?" She looked down below and saw a dark cloud forming over the stadium. Peach gasped and looked down at Mario.

"Mario!" She shouted, "Let Kirby out of his trophy again!" Mario quickly did what she had requested, and Kirby looked around in confusion. Mario pointed to the clouds forming, and Kirby took a step back in fear.

A ship began to fly over the stadium, leaving the crowd in a fearful and devastated state. It opened the bottom hatches and a purple like powder filled the stadium around them. Monsters began to form from the powder, and Mario took a battle stance, ready to fight them off.

"Peach!" Zelda exclaimed, "We must help them!" Peach nodded and they both jumped down to center stage beside the two other fighters.

They fiercely fought off the enemies around them, but with no luck. They kept reforming, and new enemies were taking place of the old ones. The four fighters were beginning to get worn out from all the fighting, and their attacks began to get weaker and weaker, doing little to no damage to the enemies around them. An item fell from the sky and Zelda quickly grabbed it.

"Mario!" She shouted, throwing it to him, "Use this to recover your energy!" The princess had thrown him a heart container, something that could be found in dungeons from her land. Mario took it and it flashed out of sight, leaving Mario feeling fit and ready to fight.

Mario managed to clear all the enemies on his own, before something flew down from the ship. The thing was what appeared to be some sort of creature. He hovered in mid-air and a cloak covered his body, besides his big yellow eyes. He dropped something big, black, and heavy onto the stadium, and two robots went on either side of it. The fighters watched in horror as they pulled the object apart, revealing a bomb inside of it.

Mario raced after the bomb, only to be shot by a canon and was knocked out of the stage. Peach screamed his name, as Zelda watched in shock. Kirby looked slightly confused and worried about what was going on, and he turned around to see the two princesses locked in cages, being held by a huge plant type monster.

"Kirby!" Zelda shouted, "Try and break the cage-" she was cut off by the plant dragging her cage across the ground. She covered her face for protection from the sparks, and shivered at the screeching noise the metal made on the cement.

"Pyo*!" Kirby shouted, with a slight nod, kicking and punching at her cage. He tried to keep the damages even by punching at Peachs' cage as well. When they all realized that the punching would do no damage to the plant, Kirby went head on after the giant plants head.

He managed to knock it out, freeing Zelda and Peach in the process. Zelda landed beside Kirby, as Peach struggled to get out of her cage.

"Hurry Peach!" Zelda was about to run over, "We don't have much time left!" As she took a step forward, ready to dash over and help her friend, a fat man appeared in front of her.

"Aha! Not so fast!" He laughed, "The Princess his mine!" He pulled out a weird device and aimed it straight at Peach. It shot an arrow through her chest, and she reverted back to a Trophy.

"You bastard!" Zelda shouted, "Give me my friend back!" She was about to do Din's Fire at him, but Kirby quickly summoned his Warp Star, as he saw how much time was left on the bomb. Wario disappeared just as they flew off, much to Zeldas dismay. They both watched as the Stadium was covered in darkness, and soon absorbed into nothingness.

'What in the world was all that..?' Zelda thought, 'That man...Those creatures...That bomb...' She bit her lip, deep in thought. Shaking her head, the princess sighed and looked away from the stadium. Taking one last glance at it, however, she thought to herself, 'Peach...Mario...Wherever you two are...I hope you're safe...'
