Chapter 1: Meet Toon Link

Hello dear reader! If you are reading this, then let me be the first to say congratulations! You are reading my very first fanfic. I wrote this Samus and Toon Link story because I believe this pairing deserves a bit more love. I'll appreciate any and all reviews, but NO FLAMES!

Toon's First Brawl

Today is a very special day for kid smasher Toon Link (A.K.A Toon to so others wouldn't mistake him for his older brother/counterpart Link). Why you may ask? Why today is the day that Toon participates in his first brawl! After three weeks of practice brawls, Toon could finally participate in a real brawl. Finally, Toon had the chance to prove his worth as a smasher! Needless to say, Toon was excited.

However, he still felt a pang of nervousness deep inside him. The main reason being that Crazy Hand was hosting the brawl, and he had a reputation for being unpredictable when hosting brawls. The second reason was that Toon had no idea who his opponent was. If Master Hand was hosting the brawl, he would've announced it on the intercom like normal, but Crazy Hand personally told Toon that he was participating today.

Toon's train of thought was soon interrupted when he saw his brother Link talking to Zelda. Ever since Toon came to the Smash mansion, Link and Zelda helped teach him the rules of the smash tournament. Every day they would train with him in the gym, teaching him battle tips, how to use items, and, most importantly, final smashes. They also helped him make new friends in the mansion. Soon he was friends with the other smashers, his best friends being Pit, Ness, Lucas, and Red.

As he walked towards them, Link said, "Hey Toon, ready for your match?"

Toon replied, "Yeah, but I'm kind of nervous since I don't know who I'm fighting."

"It's all right Toon; just remember what we taught you." Zelda said, petting the chibi warrior's head. "And remember, it's not about winning or losing, it's about having fun.

"Okay, I will." Toon said with a shrug. "Well, wish me luck!" and with that he left.

"All the luck in the world can't help him now." A dark voice said. Link and Zelda turned their heads, knowing all too well who the voice belonged to. It was Ganondorf, the self proclaimed King of Evil. While he isn't as bad here as he is in the games, he could still be, to say the least, a complete jerk. Most of the other smashers kept their distance from him, and that was just the way he liked it. In fact, the only smashers he conversed with were Bowser and Wario, the other Nintendo villains.

Zelda said with a glare, "Why Ganondorf, it sounds as though you know who Toon's fighting."

"And if I did, so what?" The King of Evil replied with mock indignity.

"C'mon Ganon, we all know that nothing goes in or out of this mansion without you knowing it." Link said. "So drop the mystery act and spill your guts or I'll do it, literally." Link had the Master Sword drawn and looked like he had every intention to carry out his threat.

Ganondorf simply reared back his head and laughed, obviously unimpressed by the warrior's threat. "Alright." He said after regaining his composure. "But only because I know you won't take much comfort in the answer." "Toon's opponent is, wait for it, Samus Aran."

At the sound of that name, Link and Zelda looked at each other with horrified expressions. Samus was a veteran smasher who had a reputation for being a dangerous and deadly opponent. She had rarely been defeated, and even in that small number of defeats, none of them were from fighting a newcomer.

"Holy Din." Link said to himself. but at that moment an idea appeared. "Hey Zelda, Link said turning back to the princess. "You're Samus' friend; can't you convince her to go easy on him?"

Zelda thought for a moment, then replied, "Well I could attempt to, but I don't know if I can."

"You're too late, Samus is already at the Final Destination stage wating for the kid." Ganon interrupted. "Crazy Hand gave her the message before he told the kid, but she doesn't know who she's fighting either." "All she knows is that her opponent is a newcomer."

Link and Zelda were shocked at this revelation. Crazy Hand was unpredictable when hosting brawls, but this was sheer insanity.

"Like I said, all the luck in the world can't help him now." Ganon said as he left. "I may watch this match just to watch the kid beg for mercy."

"I hope all that training paid off." Zelda said to Link, the worry clearly evident in her voice. I

"I hope so too, for Toon's sake." Link replied.

Well, this is the first chapter! please R & R
