Chapter 2: Meet Samus Aran
Here's the next chapter. Once again enjoy, read, and review.
In the Final Destination stage stood a figure clad in red and orange armor with a small cannon on the right arm. At first glance one might mistake this to be a robot of some kind, but do not be fooled, this is Samus Aran, the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter and one of the best smashers in the tournament. In battle, she was known to be a fierce opponent, taking on many smashers, new and veteran alike. She was a force to be reckoned with both on and off the stage. Off the stage, she had a reputation for having a nasty temper. If you were smart, you'd stay on her good side. If you were really smart, you'd stay away from her. If you were dumb enough to get on her bad side, you were pretty much a dead man walking.
Of course said temper doesn't help when trying to make friends, but that's just the way she liked it. Her troubled past prevents her from forming lasting attachments. In fact the only people she talked to in the mansion were Peach and Zelda, the mansion's princesses. Together they were nicknamed the "Divas of the Mansion."
As she stood brooding, she couldn't help but wonder who her opponent was. She had recieved a message personally from Crazy Hand that she had a match today, but he neglected to tell her the name of who she was fighting. Sadistically, she hoped that her opponent was either Snake or Falcon, the mansion's two biggest perverts. She would gladly teach them the consequences of sneaking peeks at her while she was in the shower: by breaking every bone in their bodies.
All further were soon interrupted by a large puff of smoke. Samus assumed her battle stance, ready to take on her mysterious opponent. But as soon as the smoke cleared, however, she was completely taken aback by what she saw. Her opponent was Link, or at least what Link would look like at twelve years old. The boy in front of her looked every bit like Link; Blonde hair, green tunic, and the trademark green hat. But the most defining characteristic about him was his large cat-like eyes. Suffice it to say, the boy looked as if he jumped straight out of a cartoon.
"I'm fighting a twelve year old kid?" Samus thought to herself incredulously. "What, are the other smashers so afraid of me that they're sending a kid to take me on?" Needless to say, Samus felt insulted.
"So you're Samus Aran?" the boy inquired, interrupting the huntress' furious train of thought.
Samus looked at the boy and answered, "Yes, and you would be?"
"My name's Toon Link, or as everyone calls me, Toon." the boy replied with a smile. He was used to veterans not knowing his name. That's what he got for not being in the other two tournaments.
"Let me guess; this is your first brawl and you want me to take it easy on you, right?" Samus asked with a hint of annoyance.
"Actually you're half right. This is my first brawl but I don't want you to take it easy on me." Toon said. "I signed up for this tournament to prove that I'm just as good a smasher as my bro. If people took it easy on me than it wouldn't be fair, so please fight me as hard as you would fight any smasher."
Samus was geniuinely suprised at Toon's remark. most smashers who fought her for the first time would immediately ask her to go easy on her, and to hear him tell her to give it her all was quite a shock. She quickly shook off her shock and said in a dry tone, "Your funeral."
The other smashers, along with Link and Zelda, were watching and overhearing the entire conversation, and needless to say they were shocked.
"That kid's a dead man walking." said Snake
"I hope all that training you and he did paid off Link, cause he's gonna need it." Wolf said to Link.
"Hey guys, lets wait until the match is over before we declare a winner." Zelda said crossly.
"We didn't mean it like that, Zelda." Pit said. "It's just that Samus is one tough customer and Toon's never been in a real brawl before."
"Well, I wouldn't count him out yet." replied Link. "If Toon can take on giant monsters, I'm sure he can take on Samus."
"I hope so." Sonic said.
Well that's the end of the second chapter. The fight begins in chapter three, which I'll upload sometime tommorrow. Till then, see ya around!
