A/N I'm having fun writing this, I hope you have just as much reading it ^_^
-Falco"
Everyone started looking at each other, Fox got up quietly, and left. They all talked amongst themselves
"A murder who could it be?"
"I don't know, but Joe's been acting pretty shady lately, I haven't seen him anywhere."
"Joe broke his leg, he can't even move, besides, why would the gardener want to kill someone?"
"Oh, whoops"
"Well, who could have possibly done it?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure my doors are staying locked."
Luigi roughly cleared his throat and began softly speaking, "Well, we know of one person who we have evidence proving their innocence."
Everybody looked around, confused looks on their faces, wondering who it could be.
"what?"
"who?
"Pika-pi?"
Luigi calmed everyone down with a hand gesture and continued. "Lucario was taped by the surveillance camera in the wreck room meditating."
Everybody took their quick stare and looked back at Luigi to continue speaking.
"We found the weapon that was used, and it was located under the bed." Luigi looked to the right until a toad in a dark blue suit handed him a beam-sword. It was a bright pink color, but it had a red stain going through it. Luigi continued slowly "Now, because this was used out of the battle simulator, we attempted to use the surveillance cameras, but nobody could be seen in the past few days. All of a sudden, Sonic spoke up with a question, "Wait, how long ago was Falco found?" Luigi stared at him puzzled for a moment, "About two hours why?"
Before Sonic could speak again Luigi eyes widened, and it was obvious he understood, "Oh, you're right, the battery in this thing would have been dead well over forty minutes by now."
Now everyone was beginning to panic, the weapon was planted in hopes of that nobody would think of the battery.
After discussing what happened with no leads, the smashers decided to go to bed.
At breakfast the next morning
Luigi sat there, moving the crisp bacon on his plate with a fork. How could this of happened, and how could it have gone undetected. This day is going to be hard for sure, the channel 7 news is going to be here all day, staff members will be busy looking for a lead, and all the new bodyguards are going to drive people crazy.
Peach and Marth were talking lazily to each other about the history of their kingdoms, just going back and forth trying to forget about the gruesome thing that had happened last night.
Yoshi and Link were trying to comfort Fox about his friend being dead, but to no avail. Finally, Fox quietly spoke, "Please, just give some time to think this over, I need to think of how I'm going to tell Peppy and Slippy without looking like an emotional wreck, they've always thought I was a strong leader, I don't want them to hear me crying."
Wolf was sitting there trying to avoid everyone's suspicious gaze. I wonder if they'll ever stop staring at me like that, it's really starting to piss me off, but there's no way I can convince them I didn't do it unless something crazy happens.
Once the sound of forks clinking against glass began to cease, Luigi stood up and began to inform all the contestants of the tournament, and it's rules.
"One, the matches will be Stock matches, fall off the stage three times, and you lose."
"Two, all the weapons will be available, and their appearance will be set to medium."
"Three, the simulator will send you on a stage that I, and some advisors have pre-selected.
"Now, I want you to know what the match-ups will be, so here is the list, I know some of you did not make it, but we wanted to cut out people whose fighting styles were to similar, or who we know don't have a chance, Toon Link, Lucas, and Jigglypuff, I'm sorry to say I'm not allowing you to fight.

There was no person who wasn't extremely excited by this news, and who they were facing, even Lucario had a fiery tint in his eye.
Later
Link walked through the hall. He was looking for Fox's room, thinking about he and Fox had become such good friends.
FLASHBACK
It was a nice day to stay inside and spar, it was cold and raining. Fox, looking for something to do, spotted Link pacing lazily through the hall.
"Hey there Link, wanna spar?"
Link looked at him for a moment, staring into the green around his eyes, "sure why not."
The two walked to the simulator, talking about their exciting adventures, "I remember once, I was with Falco, Peppy, and Slippy, we were in our aircrafts on Fortuna, when we were attacked by Wolf and his gang, what a battle that turned out to be, Slippy went down, Peppy got close, and Falco didn't get hit at all.
But you should have seen it, the ruby red of the lasers going through the air aircraft parts sparkling wildly before hitting the ground, it was beautiful.
Link just walked for a second without saying anything, until finally he said, "I remember once when I was young, I kept going back in time to defeat Skull Kid, get help from the giants, and too many other things to name, but anyway, the first time I fought Skull Kid, I had some sort of religious experience, I remembered Zelda teaching me something, and I can't remember how many times I went back in time after that."
Their conversation continued, and over the course of a few months they became great friends.
Present Day
Link opened the door to Fox's room, "How are you holding up?" Fox looked at him, "Pretty well at the moment, but I'm going to miss him for sure, his arrogance, and his fast feet, I just wish it could've been me instead." The two just stared at each other, Fox glad Link was here to help him through, Link, doing what a friend would do. "Well, that match starts soon, better go watch it."
I'm going to stop there for now, please review
