-1"Good God…"
"This guy must be freaking powerful."
Kirby, (Contestant #5), was struggling with all of his might. Humongous and powerful energy was pushing him, pressuring him…
"But it's almost over…I almost have him…" He thought determinedly
Normally whenever Kirby stole the essence of his enemies, it would only take a brief moment for the enemy to disappear…but this person…Kirby had been working as hard as he could to completely absorb his energy for the past half hour…
It was coming to a close…it was…it was PURE energy….pure POWER….it was coursing through Kirby with tremendous force…
Tremendous force…
Tremendous…
Finally. A small glomp later, and it was all over.
Kirby grinned devilishly and recalled earlier…
His mind had remained calm in the tense circumstances… he knew that he wouldn't be able to win on his own…He needed someone else's power…
So he waited by the entrance into the jungle…
A few people passed by him…but they seemed weak…
At least…not as strong as…
Kirby recalled his waiting right near the entrance…waiting for someone…
That someone showed up…
He was powerful alright…insanely powerful…Kirby knew…he knew what would give him power…
The poor soul never had a chance…the soldiers escorting him had not even finished taking the bindings off of him when Kirby had sprung out and instantly sucked him into the bottomless pit that was his mouth.
And now…
The power…the tremendous power and skill flowed through Kirby's body deeply…
"I like this…" Kirby said quietly. "I even get this sword. I may never rid myself of this skill…"
Kirby laughed to himself slightly and quickly dashed away to his right…his new long and white hair blowing in the wind slightly…
"They wont expect 'cute lil Kirby' to win it all will they?" Kirby chuckled.
"But…who is this…Jenova?"

"Pika…(Pant)…Pikachu…"
Pikachu, (Contestant #33), sped through the thick trees as fast as it could.
It moved as fast as it could through the unknown territory.
It was true that pokemon could only communicate with each other effectively…
But back in that building…
Pikachu and Jigglypuff were nervously awaiting their names to be called…
Well, at least…Pikachu was nervous…Jigglypuff seemed strangely calm…
When all of the sudden…it felt like…a voice was somehow bursting into Pikachu's mind…
"Pikachu…" The voice said. Pikachu instantly recognized the voice as Mewtwo's. "I want you and Jigglypuff to meet me at the very top end of this island."
And that was it…
Right after entering the arena, Pikachu instantly made a break for the north end of the island. After all, Pokemon always had a sharp sense of direction.
"I know that he was evil in the past." Pikachu thought to himself. "But I mean come on! In these circumstances he's probably on our side!"
Pikachu smiled with this naïve thought and continued running.
Finally, a small gap appeared in the trees. Pikachu could see the sea open up in front of him. Pikachu panted and finally stopped running. Pikachu surmised that it was on a cliff looking out to sea. It wasn't a very tall cliff by any means…but it was high enough to freak out someone with a fear of heights.
"Wow! This Islands a lot bigger than I thought! Now all I have to do is wait for Jigglypuff and Mewtwo…" Pikachu thought happily.
A few minutes of waiting went by…
And a few more…
Finally Pikachu's ear twitched as it heard a faint rustling in the trees in front of him.
"Jigglypuff?" Pikachu asked hopefully.
The rustling got louder…and then louder still…
The rustling turned into footsteps…but they weren't really…footsteps…
They were more of a 4 legged trot…
Pikachu's eyes opened wide as it noticed a flash of brownish red suddenly pass through a small gap in the trees.
"Mew…two?" Pikachu called out timidly.
Suddenly a loud squeal of bloodlust sounded directly to the left of Pikachu.
Pikachu instinctively dashed to his right in an instant. It was a good thing he had…Because a second later, a long talon thrust itself into the ground where Pikachu once was.
Pikachu instantly whirled around and faced it's attacker in a panic.
It was a large, brownish red monster-type creature that semi-resembled a dinosaur…
The Zergling (Contestant #22). Screeched again, making it's deadly intent obvious to Pikachu.
"I…I hadn't planned on fighting but…" Pikachu thought panicked. "But I guess I'll have to…"
Pikachu's thoughts were cut off. A large pulsating ball of power suddenly came from behind Pikachu and struck the Zergling with tremendous force.
The Zergling screeched in pain for a second as the purple and black ball struck it intensely.
A moment later though, the Zergling was thrown back sharply. Pikachu remembered how close they were to the cliff and watched in amazement as the Zergling was thrown off the cliff immediately.
The Zergling never screeched or made any noise at all as it twisted and flailed off the cliff. It was probably already dead by then.
A few seconds later, the Zergling smacked against the rocks below with a sickening Thwack.
Pikachu finally took a breath after having been holding it for a while and looked back to where the ball had come from.
It was Mewtwo. He was holding his right arm outward in a threatening manner. A small residue or purple smoke drifted away from his hand
"Thanks Mewtwo!" Pikachu said brightly in the pokemon tongue. "I didn't really want to fight that thing!"
Mewtwo didn't respond. He simply looked at Pikachu out of the corner of his eyes.
"I will not trust anyone this time…" Mewtwo said very menacingly. "Human…or pokemon…"
Pikachu's pupils slowly shrunk down in realization.
"No…" Pikachu said pleadingly…
It was the last thought that Pikachu had…Mewtwo quickly launched another ball of energy at Pikachu, knocking the small pokemon off the cliff in the same manner as the Zergling.
"I will not trust anyone…" Mewtwo thought again.

Mario panted heavily. Pikachu wasn't the only one who ran out of the building right off the bat. However, running was not something he was tremendously used to.
"I just HAD to…(Pant)…Eat all of those a-friggin mushrooms didn't I?" Mario said to himself irritably. "I can't believe how…(Pant)…out of a-frickin shape I am!"
But Mario kept running. He had to find her…
Mario vowed before the game even started that he would stay by Peach through everything. He would protect her…
Unfortunately though for Mario, Peach exited the building before Mario did. So Mario didn't even bother waiting for his brother when it was his turn to enter the island, he just ran…ran to find Peach.
Early on, he suddenly saw Kirby, who seemed to be struggling profusely.
"I don't have the a-time…I don't have the a-time to help anyone else…" Mario had said.
So Mario abandoned Kirby, (Which was smart), and kept running. He had seen a few others in random spots on the island but they didn't pursue him so Mario assumed that they weren't playing the stupid game.
"I a-gotta find her!" Mario repeated to himself again, as some sort of a mantra.
More running…
More pain…
But finally…Mario saw… to his left… through the trees…he saw a flash of pink…
"I know that pink…" Mario with a sudden grin. "It's her dress!"
Mario quickly ran to his left towards the figure…completely ignoring the intense pain in his side.
"Mario!?" The figure suddenly asked nervously.
"Peach!?" Mario asked with a bright smile. "Yes! It's a-me! Mario!"
"Mario!" The figure said with pure joy as it suddenly ran towards Mario.
A few seconds later, Mario saw her…
It was indeed Peach. Tears were streaming down her face and she had a huge smile on her face.
"I'm so glad I found you!" She said happily. "You'll protect me right?"
"Of course a-peach!" Mario said. He quickly reached out and gave Peach a tight hug, not really noticing that the two of them were suddenly out in the open, in a small clearing near a small pond.
A few blissful moments went by with the two of them locked in the embrace. But…Peach's arms suddenly became slightly limp…
And was that…music that Mario heard?
"Mario…" Peach said softly.
Mario looked up at Peach in puzzlement. Her tone of voice was…different…
"Mario…" She continued softly. "You know…we might die anyway…"
Mario's eyebrow went up a little and his mouth was open in confusion.
"Well…" Peach continued. "We might as well…you know…have sex before we die…"
Mario's eyes instantly opened wide and he blushed intensely. "Wh-Wh-WHAT!?" He asked loudly, holding his hands out in front of him.
"Oh come on Mario." Peach cooed softly. "I know you want me…"
Mario blushed even more. He watched as Peach slowly started to undue the back of her dress. He couldn't think logically anymore…
"Well…" Mario started, completely embarrassed. "Maybe I…Maybe I do…"
"That's good." Peach said seductively. She suddenly reached out and started making out with Mario fiercely…
Not one to resist something like this, Mario deepened the kiss and moaned softly.
"Momma Mia!" Mario thought in amazement. "All of the sudden Peach is so-"
THUNK
……
It's too bad Mario hadn't checked…
He hadn't noticed the change…
But it was too late…
The crown that Peach always wore was driven into his neck.
His mind didn't even have the faculties to comprehend what had happened before peach drove the crown into his neck deeper and Mario's life ended instantly.
…………
Peach slowly stood up and looked down at her former lover…blood slowly oozing out of the new gash in his neck.
Peach didn't react at all though…
All of her emotions…
And actions…
Were being controlled…
"Good Girl…just like that…"
