Link makes a big mistake

Author's note: This'll be the first official crackfic that I'm writing. It's a multicrossover, so if there's a character, any character, that you want to appear, just let me know! Reviews are appreciated, as always.

Link laughed as he finally KO'd Bowser at last. He'd been in a self-torturous mood that day, and had decided to fight Bowser, King Dedede, and Ganondorf, all at level nine. To add to that, the Stock was 99 and they were at his least favorite stage, New Pork City. As a result, the match had been going on for about three weeks. Link had no clue how he'd managed to fight that long and how he'd managed to finally defeat them. However, he was very glad that he'd be heading back to Smash Manor at last.

Maybe he'd take a warm shower. Link had a secret love for warm showers (and baths). As a matter of fact, the only thing that he disliked about his frequent quests were the lack of adequate showers. Link intensely regretted the time that he'd taken a warm shower at Lon Lon ranch during his Time quest. What, he'd thought Malon was out delivering milk. Besides, he was the Hero of Basically Everything in Hyrule, as he liked to call himself! Shouldn't someone be HAPPY when he was discovered in their house? As it turned out, Malon didn't care that he was the Hero of Basically Everything in Hyrule.

Link sighed. He still had a scar from where she'd hit him with that empty bottle. Empty bottles were more dangerous than they were given credit for. As a matter of fact, now that Link thought about it, he'd defeated Ganondorf with the help of an empty bottle one time, and with the help of a fishing pole another. How the heck did Ganondorf expect to be a great king of evil if he was defeated by the two least dangerous items in the game?

After a short photo shoot that always happened after brawls, when the losers had to clap for the winner (unless the losers were Kotu the Pokémon trainer, who'd put his hat over his eyes, or the Ice Climbers, who cried), Link stepped into the teleporting device, expecting to be on his way back to the Mansion. However, the screen went dark, then a red circle appeared.

"Challenger approaching!" said a bright red subtitle. A dark outline appeared, only visible because of the red circle.

"Wait, all of the Smashers are already at the Mansion! What in the name of Din?" Link was stunned. Master Hand hadn't said anything about new Smashers! Of course, it could always happen. A fourth tournament was said to be on its way.

Link realized that they'd appeared at Hyrule Temple. Someone I know, then, Link thought.

Suddenly, on the other side of the stage, Twilit energy began to stream downwards, forming the shape of a very large human being; taller than Link, taller than Ganondorf, even. Well, the helmet added to that, Link was pretty sure.

"Zant!" he cried when he realized that it was the insane usurper of the throne of the Twili.

In response, Zant gave a high-pitched shriek. Link groaned inwardly. Zant's vocal effects had been a joke, Link was sure of it.

"Hello, Link!" he shouted. He then jumped up and down six times and shrieked some more.

"Did Master Hand invite you?" asked Link.

"No!" Zant replied joyfully. "I invited myself!"

Ugh, stupid Zant, thought Link. Time I put him in his place.

With that, Link charged towards him with a battle cry. Zant, in response, extended two blades from his sleeves and started waving them around like the crazy person he was. Their swords clashed, but Zant, having an extra, managed to hit Link and inflict 5% damage on him. Link groaned and tried again. However, this time, Zant did a spin attack on him and inflicted 13% more damage. Zant was motionless for a moment after he did that, giving Link time to attack him.

The battle progressed like this for awhile. Zant displayed all of his moves , including a number of erratic motions with his arm that were an excuse for normal attacks with his blade, energy balls (special move), spin attack (side special move), teleport (down special move), and dramatically fly upwards (up special move or recovery move). Link especially hated his taunts, one of which involved him having a temper tantrum, another of which involved him jumping up and down and shrieking, and the last of which involved him extending his blades and shrieking an intelligible phrase about Ganondorf being a god.

Finally, Link had enough and managed to KO him. He sighed in relief and finally teleported back to Smash Manor.

"Was that all a dream?" he wondered. Zelda ran into the teleporting room and embraced him before he could wonder any more.

"Link! What took you so long?" she asked.

"A challenger approached," Link replied. He proceeded to tell the entire story. When he finished, Zelda looked at him in shock.
"And now, we're finally rid of Zan- what's wrong?" he asked her.

"You didn't KO him, did you?" she asked.

"I did," he grinned.

"Well, we're not rid of him, then," she said quietly. "You do remember that when you win a challenge fight, the challenger joins the brawl?"

"I forgot that, actually," Link was stunned.

"So now, Zant's somewhere in the Mansion," Zelda finished. Just then, Link felt his lungs be squeezed in a bone-crushing hug.

"Hello, Zant," Zelda said weakly.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, LINK!" screamed Zant. "I'M GOING TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND! YOU ACTUALLY HELPED ME JOIN THE BRAWL! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'LL GIVE YOU LOTS OF CANDY AND PRESENTS! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'M SORRY THAT I WAS THE ANTAGONIST OF TWILIGHT PRINCESS! I THINK YOU'RE AWESOME! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK-"
"We get the picture, Zant," Zelda replied. "Now release Link before you squeeze him to death."

Zant promptly dropped Link and grinned at her.

"Link, would you show Zant to Master Hand's office?" asked Zelda.

"I LOVE YOU IN A PLATONIC WAY, LINK!" shouted Zant.

"This is going to be a very long day," groaned Link.
