Hello, this is my first fiction, so it's probably not gonna be all that great. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Anyways, I put in the description that if you've never played Punch Out Wii, then to go to the Authors Note. Basically, near the end, Little Mac has to fight a gauntlet of all the people he's fought-en before, except they're tougher. Before, there were no lives, but now there are. If you lose three times in this level, then Mac retires. No matter how good you are, you WILL be whittled down and destroyed. Here, a certain special someone can make a surprise appearance. You're expected to learn how to beat him on your first try, but most players won't, so they'll lose, retire, and "beat" the game. This person returns in this Fan Fic. Anyways, I made this because i've always wanted there to be more Little Mac fics, so why not make one myself?Enjoy!
Doc Louis held the bag in place as Mac pummeled it with abuse. It had been months since Little Mac's retirement, so what was he doing now?
Quite simply, he had become Doc's assistant coach at a local gym. It was no boxing career, but Little Mac didn't mind. Besides, how could Mac leave Doc after how much they've been through? To further brighten the situation, Mac could still work out with Doc occasionally. It kept their memories alive.
As Doc Louis and Mac were doing curl ups, Mac shared some news with Doc.
"I got another letter today." Mac said as he came up from another curl up.
"Ready to join?" Doc asked, already aware just by Mac's tone what the letter was about.
Ever since the very beginning, Little Mac has gotten an invitation to every Smash Bros. Tourney. Every tourney, he declined.
Mac stopped his curl ups and looked at Doc with eyes that said Sorry Doc, but no. Before, Mac declined because he already had a boxing career he needed to devote all his time to. Ever since the Brawl tourney though, hes had a different reason.
"I'm retired, Doc. I'm ready to move on. For now, coaching is what I want to do. I saw how much you loved it, and now we can still keep in touch."
Doc Louis thought about it. He was ready to get back into fighting. Those were the days. Doc still reminisced about Mac's first match.
Little Mac waited anxiously in the corner. The young man's first fight was against a man named Glass Joe. Sure, his record was 1-99, but he had more experience than Mac. The crowd wasn't too large. That's one thing that certainly changed over time. As Little Mac racked up his wins, everyone wanted to see this incredible young fighter beat opponents who towered over him.
"Remember all the things I've taught you. Most importantly, stick and move." Doc Louis said to Mac in their corner. Little Mac just nodded.
Doc Louis especially remembered the media. Many thought Glass Joe would finally catch a break against this tiny, inexperienced young boy. This just made the duo more determined to win.
When Little Mac and Glass Joe reached the middle of the ring, the French man looked down on him, trying not to laugh. This would become a staple for all his matches. It would always be Mac looking down on them though, in the end, on the mat. Until his final match, of course. He would never forget that moment.
When the bell rang, Glass Joe laughed and taunted Mac, before getting sacked in the gut. Little Mac felt a strange power inside. He decided to save it.
Glass Joe would attack, but it was like an old man trying to swat a speedy fly. Mac was far too fast, and dodged all of Joe's punches easily, only attacking when Glass Joe left himself open. Soon, Glass Joe backed up, shouted " VIVA LA FRANCE" and rushed forward, his fist raised.
" Used the star, mac!" Doc exclaimed.
Mac understood and unleashed his power. It sent Glass Joe flying to the ground. The referee had a surprised expression on his face as he counted to 10. Glass Joe didn't even try to get up.
"Winning feels sweet Mac," Doc said "almost as sweet as chocolate. Speaking of which, how about some cake back at home?"
Yes, those were the good days. Doc Louis really wanted to convince Mac to fight. That's when he concocted an idea to try to convince Mac. He would just have to show Mac how great of an opportunity this was.
"The first matches will start in a week, where the first few people who have arrived will fight. The sign up deadline will not have been up by then. You would be able to look at what the Smash Bros. Federation is all about. It will be like sampling chocolate."
"C'mon Doc, there are better ways to spend our Friday nights." Mac replied.
"Please Mac? For Doc?" Doc looked at Mac with puppy eyes, ready to wait him out.
Little Mac knew he could never defeat his friends evil tactic, so he gave in. "Fine. I'll come over to your house in a week."
Mac kept his word, and came over to Doc's house. " Hey Mac, glad to see ya!" Doc said as he held the door open for his former pupil. "The matches just began!"
Mac watched, and he couldn't see what all the fuss was about. It wasn't anything he hadn't done before. He saw a yoga teacher.
"Why would they invite her? Shes a yoga teacher. Its not like she has any good fighting abilities. " Mac observed as she got pummeled by a blue hedgehog. As soon as he finished talking, though, the yoga teacher picked up sonic and hit him like a volleyball out of the arena. When he tried to get back, she unleashed her Sun Salutation attack, bouncing him back and out of the arena. "I stand corrected." This is how the night went, some close matches here, some pretty lop sided, you get the idea. When the two friends were reaching the end, Mac stretched and yawned, and said, much to Doc's dismay, "I'm not that impressed."
"Don't leave yet Mac, we're almost at the end." Doc urged Mac.
"Fine."
Master Hand appeared on the screen, in front of a Smash Bros. Logo. " For our final match, we will be pitting... LINK!"
Link appeared on screen, shaking in his boots.
"Facing this heroic hero of Hyrule, will be the champion of the last Smash Bros. Tournament...DONKEY KONG!"
Little Mac and Doc's eyes immediately widened at the name, but they remained silent, and watched in horror as Donkey Kong beat Link down. Donkey Kong was quick and fast, never letting Link get up.
Mac had flashbacks of his fight with Donkey Kong back when he was a boxer. He remembered how his fists were fast like lighting, but it hurt 10 times worse than being struck by lightning. Mac remembered how Doc tried to keep Mac's spirits up when round 1 ended. He was shouting advice, jokes, anything. But it was all in vain. Mac could only manage one more hit until he was done. Whenever Donkey Kong taunted him. Mac punched him and earned a star and released it. Donkey Kong dodged the star, and punched Mac a final time, sending him to the mat. He lost the title. He had to fulfill his promise about losing 3 more times.
He had to retire.
Mac didn't even have to consult Doc. As the sound of Link screaming while he was hurtling down a cliff filled the room, Mac called the phone number on the letter. Master Hand answered.
"I assume our show won you over, Little Mac?" Master Hand inquired.
"You could say that," Mac said.
"Well Mac, I guess I could introduce you to the Smash Mansion tomorrow. You'll need to start from the bottom you know?"
"Not anything i'm not used to," Mac replied
"Good," Master Hand said." You're first match will be with Marth"
