"Tickets for Super Smash Brothers Tournament Up Ahead, 5 Bucks per Person!" Nana pointed at the sign, "See Popo, I told you it would be here! I`m so excited!" Nana glanced at Popo as hundreds of Koopas and Waddle Dees are walking past them to the newly formed Stadium.
"I can`t believe you dragged me all the way from the North Pole to see two men beat eachother until one gives up" Popo told Nana sarcastically.
"Boys like you are supposed to be into that stuff" Nana proclaimed.
"Then why do you like it?" Popo said as him and Nana walked away from the sign and into the entrance of the new and improved smash arena.
It has been 6 years since the Subspace Army was destroyed. After so long, Princess Peach and Princess Zelda has finally decided to start the Smash Tournaments backup even though they promised not too after the first one was attack by the Army. They have decided to make this years Smash Tournaments a little more "Basic" as of instead of a floating Island, the Fighters will fight in a Boxing ring in New York, Saturn City.
As the two Twins make their way down to the arena along with all the other fans, Popo, the brother, noticed that it was in the middle of the night, but you can`t see the darkness thanks to all the lights coming from the Building. Nana loved the fighting. she has watched it back at home in the North Pole with whatever the Cable picks up. They only had 3 Channels. But on the Saturdays back 6 years ago, they aired the matches on live broadcasting. It was one of Nana`s favorite thing to watch. Once the word got out the Princesses of the West were going to start the show backup again, Nana instantly wanted to go see the first show. After arguing with Popo and their Father, They finally agreed and Popo brought Nana to New York for the show.
The Ice Climbers finally got in the arena after paying the clerk (Who was some sort of Purple Rabbit, he didn`t look like a Clerk if you ask Popo, but he didn't care.) As Popo looked at their tickets, Nana was scouting for any of the fighters.
"Ok, so our seats are on the Second row and has the numbers One hundred two and One hundred three printed on the seat. Do you see them Nana...Nana...NANA" Popo yelled out as he saw the Other Ice Climber run into a room with a caption stating "Employees Only".
Popo ran after her but it was too late, she already found on of the Fighters sitting down on a box playing the Ocarina.
"LINK, LINK" Nana yelled as she ran to The Silent Green Fighter, who didn`t seem to notice her. Nana ran up to him and tugged on his sleeve, which got his attention. Nana tried saying words but was to busy giggling over excitement "Hi, Biggest Fan, uhmm...can you sign this piece of paper" She giggled as she pulled out a Paper and Pen from her Coat pocket she was keeping to get autographs. Link smiled and grabbed the piece and paper and signed his name.
"Dang it" Popo whispered to himself as he got up to the two as Nana was asking Link questions about is Shiek technically a Boy or not. "Hello sir, I`m so sorry for bothering you, it's just my sister is just a big fan of you. We will be on our way now!" Popo said as he grabbed his Sister as Link gave back her piece of paper. The two Ice Climbers left the room.
"What was that for?" Nana asked furiously.
"Dad trusted me to watch over you, you can't just run away like that without my permission!" Popo answered.
"Why did Dad trust you, were the same age!"
"because I`m Mature, and you're the one who keeps thinking she can go anywhere she wants without any problems to follow it! Do you see the sign over their?!" Popo pointed to the "Employees Only" sign, "We could have gotten in serious trouble for going in there!"
"sorry..." Nana said silently, but she lifted her head as the announcers voice came on, where she screeched like a fangirl "IT'S STARTING!" Nana yelled as she ran with Popo to their seats.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Koopas and Goombas, are you ready to RRRUUUMMMMBBBLLLEEEE" The crowd started screaming joyfully as the music for that song came on. Popo could barely here himself think with all the noise in the arena. Most of it coming from Nana. "May I have your full attention please. I will like to welcome the founders of this buisness to the ring. Please give a good New York welcome to Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Zelda from Hyruuuullleee" Fans all around were clapping, cheering, and stomping as the two Princesses of the West came out. They stepped in the ring and Princess Peach got the same Microphone that the announcer had. The crowd went silent as the Microphone made that noise your here when someone wants to talk.
"We would like to welcome you all to the new and improved Smash Tournaments" Peach started, "As you know, we will have many champions from the past here tonight to battle it out to get our Annual Trophy!" She said as a Light came on that pointed to the huge trophy sitting in the middle of the opposite side of the bleachers the Ice Climbers were on. "Now, we all know that Trophy has been gifted to the many Fighters here tonight, like Captain Falcon-" She waited for the crowd to stop cheering and put down there "Falcon Punch" signs "Donkey Kong-" The Crowd made a Monkey sound "Mario-" The Crows started cheering and holding up signs once more, "But, there has been only one man to win 4 Trophys in his Smash Career and that is..." The crowd was already cheering his name "LINK FROM HYRULE" The crowd started cheering louder than ever before. Link is actually Nana's favorite Fighter, so Popo was glad she got his autograph.
Princess Zelda grabbed the mic, "And so, tonight, were starting off with that man! You see me and Peach has tried to figure out who has the best hero to come save us once in a while. I say Link is the best person to save a damsel in distress, and she says its Mario! Can you believe that?!" Half of the crowd starting cheering for Mario, the other side for Link. "So, Me and Peach decided to kick off tonight with those to fighting to see who is best!" The crowd cheered so loud back then, Zelda had to wait so long to bring out the fighters. "Please welcome, on the Red Corner, the Mushrooms Kingdom Number-a-One Plumber, Mario!" Mario started Jumping around waving his Hands in the air. "And on the Blue corner, Please welcome the one who is going to win-" Zelda giggled as Peach joyfully shook her head to the crowd "Please welcome Link from Hyrule!" Link held his hand up for the crowd pictures. Princess Zelda gave Peach the Microphone as she left the ring, leaving Peach in the Middle.
"Ok, you both know the rules, Correct?" The two fighters shook their head "First shake hands" The two fighters got to the middle in front of peach and shook each others hands. "Now, first one to knock the opponent out into a trophy wins. This goes on until someone gets two wins, whoever that may be will move on in the tournament. But we're all winners here, are you ready? RING THE BELL" Peach yelled as the Bell operator (who is ironically Mr. Game & Watch) rings his Bell and the fight begins.
Link starts running at Mario who then jump above him to the other side of the ring and shoots a fireball at Link, who blocks it with his Shield. Even tho the crowd as cheering like psychos and signs were all over the place, Popo heard his belly growl at him.
"I'm going to get us some snack, Ok?!" Popo yelled at Nana but she was so focused on the Match she didn`t here him at all. Popo tried to get out of the seats without blocking anyones view. Good thing he was just a few seats from the staircase. He marched down to the hall that they came from in, which was now completely abandoned. It was so crowded that Popo didn't even see the Vending Machine when he got in with Nana.
The Eskimo looked at the Vending Machine. He could finally hear himself think after leaving the full house of creatures. Popo tried to find something him and Nana eat. They're was some Mushrooms, Maximum Pumpkins, Spicy Food, but Popo stopped when he spotted Sushi. His family ate Sushi sometimes when they caught a fish in the below freezing waters. Popo pulled out a dollar and swiped it in the Vending Machine. The Dollar came back out right as there was a big Boom. "Did the Vending Machine blow up?!" Popo thought but he realized it was the crowding going crazy. The Bell rang for the first round to be over.
Popo saw that Link has been turned into a trophy by Mario somehow. Mario tapped Links trophy and he got backup and they went to their corners. Popo then turned his attention back to the Vending Machine. "Why did my dollar come back out?" Popo wondered. He put the dollar back in but it just came back out. he tried straightening it but that didn`t work. He soon got mad and tried putting the dollar in by force, and on the fourth try, it finally worked and the pack of Sushi fell out. Popo grabbed it and headed back into the arena. When he stepped into the door though, a huge flame came straight at him and he closed the door back. Turned out to be Mario's Final Smash, but Link dodge it making it come right at Popo.
He went back to his seat beside Nana, who doesn't look like she kept her eyes off the match not once since he left.
"Sushi?" Popo asked Nana as he held the bag in front of her. They both opened the bag and went back to watching the match while eating, where Mario just got turned into a trophy.
"YES!" Nana yelled as a piece of her Sushi that was in her mouth was sent flying to the floor in front of the first row. It was the last round between Mario and Link. Popo saw Peach and Zelda were commentating with the announcer in a sound proof box right above the Trophy on the opposite bleachers. The Smash tournament was also aired on Radio. The Final Round started as Mr. Game & Watch went crazy with the Bell. All signs were up, the crowd was going crazy, and Mario and Link was finishing their chat with the friends. On Mario's corner was Luigi, I bet he's a real help. On Links corner is some african american that looked like he was an actual coach. He was eating chocolate and had a red shirt on and some sweatpants. The Ice Climbers have seen the guy before on Boxing tv with some really short Boxer. Popo guess with Link winning 4 times he gets top notched Coaches. Pikmin were also with Link to. They were giving him water, a towel, everything! same thing with Mario and some Pikmin.
Mario and Link got up from there stools as the Pikmin left to some whistle sound, who was Olimar, sitting beside Mr. Game & Watch by the Bell. Olimar must be part of the crew alongside the rest of the people with him. Mario and Link got in the middle of the ring staring each other down, going in circles around the smash logo in the middle of the ring. "Now that's a poster for Nana!" Popo thought as he grabbed his camera and took a photo. They didn`t have many Photo pieces to take, maybe 5 or so, so Popo didn't want to use a lot of them. Mario then threw a punched, which was blocked by Links shield. Link kicked Mario in the air and jumped at him with his sword. Mario shot some fireballs in midair which hit Link knocking him back to the ground. Mario pulled out Fludd, which was made by E. Gadd, one of Luigi's good friends, and started spraying Link until he was on the other side of the ring. Mario started walking to the fallen Link slowly, but Link jumped up out of nowhere and gave a big "HHHHHIIIYYYAAAAA" and threw a Bomb straight at Mario. The Bomb sent Mario flying out of the ring and into the crowd. The Pikmin were thrown by Olimar into the crowd to check on Mario. The Pikmin looked for Mario on some of the audiences heads. One Red Pikmin had a explanation point above him and directed the other little Plant creatures to look. The Pikmin then went to see, and they grabbed and held up Mario...who was a trophy now. Olimar waves his hands at Mr. Game & Watch who rang the bell as the crowd was going crazy.
The two Princesses came down into the ring and Zelda had a Microphone, "Winner of this round, and going to Round 2, Link from Hyrule! Told you Peach!" Zelda giggled as Peach rolled her eyes. The crowd cheered (along with Nana) as the Pikmin threw Mario`s trophy into the ring. Link tapped the bottom of the trophy with his foot and Mario came above. Mario held up Links hand in victory.
"Alright folks, we are going to take a 5 minute intermission, you can go to the bathroom now, I know you have to after that amazing Matchup!" The announcer said as a third of the crowd headed out for some snacks and to go to the bathroom. Popo was smart enough to go ahead and get his food now so he would not have to be in crossfire with all those people.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" Nana yelled in joy to Popo ears. Popo thought he went death until moments later he heard everyone again.
"That was pretty cool"
"I knew you would Love it! The First round wasn't good though"
"Why not?" Popo asked Nana
"Because Link lost!" The two started giggling. "Hey, I`m gonna go to the ladies room, make sure nothing amazing happens while I`m gone!" Nana left easily since almost all the seats were now empty. Popo was glad that his Sister got to be here. "She is having such a great time" Popo thought. Popo laid back in his chair. He was one of the only 10 people who stayed in there seats, including the popcorn guy.
"Would you like some Popcorn Sir?" The Koopa in the hat and with the bags of popcorn in a box held by his shoulders like a reversed backpack.
"No thanks, I`m good" Popo said holding his Sushi up. The Popcorn Koopa didn`t have anyone else to offer Popcorn to so he asked the Eskimo some questions.
"You enjoying the show tonight?"
"Yeah, its cool, but I`m just here for my Sister."
"Let me guess, she dragged you here, didn`t she?"
"Yep" Popo said laughing.
"I love the Smash Tournaments, and this is the easiest way the watch it because A.) You don`t need to pay to come see it and B.) You get Paid for it!" The Koopa said laughing
Popo laughed as the Popcorn Koopa left to the other bleachers. Popo then saw a few Pikmin with brooms and trash cans cleaning up the bleachers. Everything was great. "No sound, No Mean Employees, just everyone having a good time. Thats what its all about" Popo thought.
The Eskimo leaned back in his chair (There was no one behind him) and looked up at the Two Princesses Talking with the announcer on the radio. Peach shoved Zelda's shoulder laughing. They must be talking about how Link beat Mario. just then, something was behind them. It looked like two figures actually. "Was it Link and Mario?" Popo thought. Just then, Peach was grabbed by one of the figures. Zelda stood up but was then thrown into the bullet proof glass then was picked up. The announcer was punched by one of them as Peach tried to get out. The Two figures ran away. "HEY!" Popo yelled. The Princesses were getting kidnapped. Popo ran out of his chair and headed to the other bleachers. we jumped on the Trophy and landed right in front of the bullet proof glass. Popo hit it with his Hammer multiple times until it broke open. "WHICH WAY DID THEY GO!?" Popo yelled. The announcer pointed "Left" With his thumb while on the ground, covering his Right eye. Popo ran into the hallway where the announcer table was and tuned left. He saw the Kidnapper with Zelda jump out the window. The Kidnapper with Princess Peach was about to but, stared at Popo as the Ice Climber ran at him with his Hammer. The Kidnapper jumped out the window. "HELP MEEE" Peach yelled for Popo as the Kidnapper landed feet first on the ground. Popo was having second thoughts, but he jumped out the window. He saw them running to the back of the arena, then saw how he wasn't going to land on his feet, but is going to fall face first on the gravel ground 2 stories up. Popo screamed as he fell closing his eyes. He was about to hit the ground when he was gobbled by something. That spit him back out, breaking the fall. It was Yoshi, along with Kirby and Rick the Hamster (one of Kirby's friends) They saw the whole thing. Popo jumped on Yoshi's back as Kirby jumped on Ricks and they raced after them, still have them clear in sights. The Kidnapper with Zelda kept on running and made a turn on the other side of the building, but The one with Peach stopped at the edge of the Building. Yoshi and Rick ran after him but as soon as they were going to jump on him, The Kidnapper shot a huge batch of Fire at them, sending them back up in the air, the four fell on the gravel as the Kidnapper ran away along with the other one. Popo's coat was burned on the head, with ash on it. Popo grabbed crawled to get his Hammer that fell out of his hand when they were flown back by the flames. Popo grabbed it and, while on the ground crawling, he threw the Hammer at the Kidnapper who got hit at the back of the head. The Kidnapper took a quick look at what hit him. In The Darkness, Popo could tell who it was: Bowser. Of course. Bowser and the Other Kidnapper kept on running until they got into the woods behind of the Building. Yoshi got up and started running, but there was no hope finding them in there. Just then, The announcer, Mario, Link, Olimar, Nana, and some Cops ran up to them.
"Popo!" Nana yelled as she bend down to see her brother. Popo looked up, barely opening his eyes.
"Bowser...Kidnapper...Got Zelda and...Peach" Popo was only able to say that. The Cops ran into the woods as Mario and Link picked up The Fallen Ice Climber. Pikmin and a few People that were in the crowd (including the Popcorn Koopa) picked up Yoshi, Kirby, and Rick.
The Group came into the ring where a few more cops were in the ring, along with a few doctors and that Coach for Link. Mario pushed Popo in the ring as the rest of the group brought the other three. One of the Nurses, Nurse Joy was her name, looked at Popo.
"Looks like he got Burned by Bowser, were going to take him to the Hospital now" She nodded to Nana and Link.
The announcer came on the Microphone as the rest of the people came back from intermission, "Folks, we have a serious problem." The announcer revealed his Black eye "Tonight has to be cancelled. Princess Peach and Princess Zelda has been kidnapped. We authorize you to leave the arena so no one else gets hurt. The Now cheering crowd headed out the door silently whispering to each other, looking around carefully to see if they can spot the kidnappers. Nurse Joy and a few Cops put Popo on Yoshi (who was standing upright) and they walking to the ambulance car. The announcer called them after telling Popo where to go. Yoshi hopped into the ambulance truck along with Nurse Joy, and Cop, Nana, and Link. The Cops put Caution tape by the Arena as a Doctor closed the door of the Ambulance truck as it drove away to the Hospital.
