A/N: This is the first real Chapter in the story. I do not own any of the characters here. They are all owned by their own companies. Also, when a new character is seen, their name will appear in bold captial letters.

The sun was shining in the sky and there wasn't a cloud to be seen for miles. The stadium (Which had been brought down to the ground rather then staying in mid-air) was hosting the final battle of the most recent tournament. "Ladies and gentelmen, introducing our competitors for todays match. From the Mushroom Kingdom, the one and only Mario!" A trophy was thrown onto the battlefield of a man. He was wearing a Red shirt, with a red cap and Blue overalls. On his cap, was red M. He also wore brown boots and had a brown mustache.

MARIO

Mario waved to the crowd. On the same side of the stadium, on a platform, was a woman. She wore a pink dress with a gold crown. She had long blonde hair, and was wearing white gloves that went up to her elbows. She was the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario's girlfriend.

PEACH

"C'mon Mario, you can win this!" Peach shouted. Mario heard this and just gave a curt nod back at her. "And his opponent." The announcer said. "From the land of Hyrule. Link!" Another trophy was thrown on the battlefield of another man. He wore a Green tunic with white leggings and brown boots. He wore a green hat that was long. His hair was a dirty blonde. In his right hand, he held a sword with a purple helm. In his left hand he held a shie;d that was blue and decorated with little designs. He was a little taller then Mario, despite the fact that he was 17. He was the Hero of Time.

LINK

Link waved to the crown as well. Also on a platform on Link's side, was another woman. She wore a long white dress which had purple linings as well. She wore a headband and had long, flowing, brown hair. She was the princess of Hyrule, and Link's fiance.

ZELDA

"You can win this Link!" She yelled to him. Link walked up to his opponent Mario and looked at him. "Well Mario," Link said. "I look forward to battling against you. Good Luck." "I also-a look forward to-a battling you as well-a." Mario said to him. "May the best-a man win." Mario and Link shook hands and went back to their own sides of the field. "3...2...1...FIGHT!" The announcer yelled.

Mario ran up to Link and started pummeling him with fire balls. Link reluctantly dodged them and started firing arrows back at Mario. Mario dodged all of them and reflected one back with his cape. The arrow hit Link, but it didn't seem like it hurt. Link pulled out a bomb and threw it at Mario, but Mario only pulled out a Water pump called F.L.U.D.D. and squirted the bomb back at Link. The fuse was extinguished, but Link then pulled out a white boomerang and threw it at Mario. The boomerang missed, but when it came back, a tornado pulled Mario towards Link. When Link got the boomerang back, He twirled around, swinging his sword along with him. This sent Mario flying off the battlefield. Mario tried to jump back with his Super Jump Punch, but Link only fired an arrow at Mario, defeating him and turning him back into a trophy.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Our new champion, Link!" The crowd cheered for Link as he waved to everyone. Peach was dissapointed but Zelda came behind her to talk to her. "Cheer up Peach." She said "At least Mario put up a good fight. Plus, hw did make it to the final match." Peach looked happy. "Yeah I guess your right." Peach responded. Link walked over to Mario's trophy and tapped on the base. The trophy came back to life, and Mario looked up at Link. "You put up a good fight Mario" Link pridefully told him. "As did-a you." Mario responded. "Congeatulations-a" They shook hands and waved to the crowd. But then there was a rumble of thunder heard. The sky went completely dark with clouds. "Well, well, well," Said an unknown voice. "You must be very proud of yourself Link. Not many people can defeat Mario." Just then a giant ship showed up. The ship was white and had an unknown red symbol on the tail wing. In Green and Yellow writing on the side of the ship was the word "STARFOX" This was the Great Fox, a battleship used by Fox McCloud. However, the ship had been taken control of. Just then, a platform came out of the cargo bay of the great fox. On it was a creature. The creature had gray fur, was wearing blue armor, and black pants with black boots. He had a blue eyepiece that covered his left eye. In his back pocket was a gun. This was the enemy of Fox McCloud.

WOLF

"What the-! Who are you?" Link said. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wolf O'Donnell. Leader of the Mercenary for hire team Star Wolf. And current member of the Subspace Emmisary." Everyone was shocked when they heard that name.

Author's Note: Who is the leader of the Subspace Emmisary? Has anyone been captured? and More importantly, when will I get my soda? Find out the answer to most of these questions in the next chapter of Rebirth.

Real Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Yes, I chose to use the Great Fox rather then the Halberd. It was the only ship besides the Falcon Flyer that was big enough to hold everyone. I would have put the Falcon Flayer, but that will be saved for a different use. Please Review.
