Welcome back to another chapter of Rejected! And now, give it up for ZPF!
Hello, did the announcer do good in announcing? I hope so. He will be important later on in the story. I will be, too. Here's the next chapter! Oh, before that...
Disclaimer: THE ONLY THINGS I OWN ARE MY OCS AND MY STORIES.
P.S. The Gannon in this story is Wind Waker Gannon, so that's why he has those swords.
Alex felt something tickling his nose in his sleep. At first, he tried to scratch his nose, and it seemed to work, until it started up as soon as he put his hand down. So this time, he rubbed his nose with his other hand. Now he felt something all over his face. Crap. He thought. He instantly knew what happened. He sat up quickly to see Gannondorf, who was holding a feather, and a large turtle, holding a bottle of whipped cream, laughing their evil heads off.
"It may be the oldest one in the book, but it still gets laughs!" The turtle said between laughs.
"You said it, Bowser!" Gannon said, laughing ten times harder than Bowser.
Alex was furious, and when he's furious, he doesn't think. He quickly wiped the whipped cream off his face and spread it on Gannon's face. The two evil pranksters stopped laughing, until Bowser pointed at his Gerudo friend and started laughing even harder.
Gannon stepped closer to Alex, coming inches from his face as he draws his swords, "You just made a mistake there, child. Now both you and your sister will pay."
He called to Bowser that they should leave. Gannon followed Bowser out. The last words Alex heard before Gannon disappeared from his sight were, "You should watch your back, because if you don't, you won't be seeing anything but darkness before long."
Selene woke up with an easy start that morning, unlike her brother. She got to wake up naturally, she took a shower, then she watched TV for a while. She got to watch the brawls from the day which she had arrived. One of them was between a cartoon-like kid dressed in green against a tall, blue jackal-like animal on a ship stage that was cartoonish. The jackal won that match by a few KOs. Then she saw a battle with a short Italian man in red versus a small blonde child wearing an orange stripped shirt and green shorts. The man in red won by a long shot. Selene felt bad for the ones that lost, and she wondered how she would do these brawls without feeling bad for the people she would fight.
Breakfast that morning
This time, instead of the two twins sitting apart, they decided to sit across from each other this time. Alex was eating pancakes while Selene had a simple frosted Poptart.
"So, how was the first day, Selene? And how was this morning?" Alex was curious and wanted to know what his sister's opinion was on the Smash Mansion.
"Oh, the place is great! I love it here! I was watching the battles from yesterday this morning, and there was a kid dressed in green versus a jackal... thing, and a short man in red against a small blonde kid," Selene responded excitedly, "How was your morning?"
Alex looked at Gannon, who was sitting across the dining room, the whipped cream gone from his dark face, "Uh, well, let's just say that Gannon played a prank on me with one of his friends."
"Gannondork... When we become official Smashers, I'll give that stupid piece of shit something to think about," She said, cracking her knuckles and glaring at Gannon.
Later in the day, Selene was wondering what to do as a fighter. What would she do as a signature move? She didn't have long to think about this, because Master Hand came into the room, saying, "Come, Selene, tryouts are today. You're the first one,"
Selene followed Master Hand out the room and into the Final Destination ring. As Selene looked around at the small, intriguing stage, Master Hand got in his position. He told Selene to get in her spot, which was marked by a light. When Selene stepped on this light, it vanished. "Are you ready, Selene?" The owner of the mansion asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be," The nervous teen said.
"3... 2... 1... GO!"
Selene dashed towards Master Hand and stopped right before going directly underneath him. What do I do? She asked herself. How do I fight here? As she was thinking those words, Master Hand made himself a finger gun. She noticed this and blocked the shot that the giant hand fired. She wouldn't survive tryouts if she didn't think of something quick. Without thinking, she ran at the right hand she was fighting and jumped, grabbing his thumb. She touched her necklace to it, and she turned into an exact copy of Master Hand, except that she was tinted blue.
Master Hand instantly froze and stared at his new blue mirror image, amazed at what he had just saw. This was a chance for Selene to attack. She suddenly charged up lasers and fired them, aiming directly at Master Hand. Most of them hit their target, while some of them were either blocked or dodged. Then Selene started to glow lightly before grabbing Master Hand and body slamming him down to the floor of the stage, wiping out a lot of hit points. Master Hand managed to get up, however, he was in a lot of pain. That girl can pack one mean punch. He thought. She is perfect Smasher material. I bet her brother is too.
As Master Hand got up, Selene just used the opportunity to attack again. This time, she prepared a ground pound. By the time Master Hand noticed the attack, it was too late. Selene smashed Master Hand into the ground, this time, he was completely depleted of his hit points. He called Crazy Hand onto the arena to bring him to Dr. Mario and told Selene that the match was over and that she was an official Smasher. When Selene turned back into her normal self, she started to rush to Alex's and room to tell him that she was a Smasher. When she got to his room, however, Gannon was the only one in there, where he was sharpening his swords. Without looking up, he said, "Oh, hello little girl."
"Where's Alex?"
"How should I know?"
When Selene heard this, she left the room without another word. As she walked down the hallway, she only saw hallway, no Smashers, no open doors, and no Master or Crazy Hand. Then she felt something hit her back lightly. She turned around to see a black remote-controlled blimp. A mechanical arm came out the bottom and handed Selene a piece of paper before floating away. She unfolded the note and read it.
Dear Selene,
YOU ARE WEAK. YOU WILL NEVER WIN A BATTLE HERE. YOU ARE USELESS.
From,
Anonymous
Selene was slightly bothered by this note. She stared at the letter like it had just a random jumble of words that made no sense before turning to a trash can and throwing it away. She just stood there for a minute and thought about how many ways she could humiliate Gannon when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Selene stopped smiling like an idiot and turned around to see the same kid from the brawls this morning. He was the kid in green who lost to the jackal.
"What're you doing, just standing there?" The kid asked, "Are you okay?"
His height came close to Selene's shoulders, and his eyes made up more than half of his face. They were larger in person. He's kinda cute. Selene thought before shaking her head lightly. Who are you kidding?
"Oh! Hello there... What's your name?"
"The name's Toon Link!" The cartoon-like child responded. "So, you're the newcomer Selene, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Selene. I was just, uh, thinking."
"About what?"
"Oh, nothing. Just on how I'm going to deal with a jerk that lives here."
"Who would that be?"
"Gannondork."
"Who told you about my made-up nickname for Gannon?"
"Nobody. I thought of it myself."
Just then, Alex came walking down the hallway with Link, talking about Master Hand and how badly he was beaten.
"I just stopped by Dr. Mario's office, when I saw Master Hand. He was so beat up, he could barely float with the help of his brother, Crazy Hand," As soon as Link finished his sentence, he noticed Selene and Toon Link were talking to each other. "Hey, Toon! Is this the other newcomer?" He asked, pointing at Selene.
"She's my sister, Link. Of course she is," Alex answered. He turned to the smaller version of Link. "Toon Link, is it?"
"... Yeah," Toon responded, feeling awkward.
Now Crazy Hand came down the hallway, "HeY aLeX! yOu'Ve GoT a BaTtLe WiTh Me, CuZ mAh BrO wAs BeAtEn Up So BaDlY! cOmE oN!" And with that, Crazy Hand flew down the hallway, screaming out random words. "PiCkLe! PrInTeR! gOlDfIsH! AgGrAvAtIoN! CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!"
...
Okay, that last word wasn't random.
"He does that a lot," Link said.
"Bye," Alex followed Crazy Hand down the hallway, staring at all the strange things his future foe was doing.
Okay, so now we know Selene's battle tactic. What will Alex's be? What random thing will Crazy do next chapter? Will Master Hand be okay by the next chapter? Find out - *long dramatic pause* NEXT CHAPTER!
