Vile: And I'm here with the third chapter and second match of Punch-Out! Second Round! Yin-Yang Yo-Yo guessed correctly last chapter: Jake Massie was based on the Scout from TF2. It'll be easier to see who this next one was based on. Enjoy!

Punch-Out! Second Round

Chapter 3: Super Mac Bros.

Mac and Doc Louis returned to their locker room after the fight for rest, but they found something odd on the bench. It was a basket that held a bunch of goodies. On top of the goodies was an envelope. "What's this?" Mac wondered. He picked up the envelope and flipped it over, showing that it was closed by a heart-shaped sticker. Raising an eyebrow, he opened the envelope. Inside was a letter, which he read.

Dear Little Mac,

You were amazing in your fight against Jake. He was all talk, sure, but you still knocked his block off. I'm a huge fan of yours, and I hope you like the gift I sent you. I hated that you were blacklisted, but I'm so happy that you're back in the ring. Keep fighting hard!

Signed,

L. M.

A heart was after this girl's name. "Hah hah hah! You've got a secret admirer, Mac baby!" Doc teased.

Mac blushed and looked annoyed at Doc, but smiled at the letter. "Maybe it's just a fan who wanted to show appreciation. Who knows? I'm grateful nonetheless." Mac pulled out a piece of chocolate and ate it, tossing a bar to Doc.

*The Next Day*

Mac hopped into the ring for his second Minor Circuit fight. He got a good luck at his opponent, who was a stocky man with brown hair and blue eyes. He wore blue boxing gloves and red trunks, and he had a ridged mustache.

*End Slideshow*

The display above the ring flickered on, showing that it was Round 1.

Pisa Power imitated rolling up his sleeves and beat his fists together, tilting his head to the sides a few times. "Per voi, la mia pesca! (For you, my peach!)" He yelled to the crowd.

The referee then got in. "Fight!"

Pisa Power made the first move. "Qui! (Here!)" A quick left jab struck Mac off-guard. "Qui!" Another left jab came, but Mac evaded this time. "Ay!" Mac went in for the opening, dealing four hits before he was knocked out of the stun, pizza slices swirling around his head during the stun. "Oh ho ho…!" Pisa Power had moved to the right for a jab, but he had a smug smirk on his face. Mac noticed no jab coming, but quickly moved when the man went at him a second later.

'Delayed jab.' Mac noted. He quickly went at Pisa Power for five jabs.

"Qui!" Another jab was about to come, but Mac saw an opening and jabbed him for a Star.

Star Count: 1

"Let's-a go!" Pisa Power said in English (though with an accent), giving Mac a salute. Mac saw the yellow flash and nailed him with a jab for a second Star.

Star Count: 2

"Ha ha!" Pisa Power had moved to the left, his fist downward. Mac knew what was up and quickly moved to dodge the incoming uppercut. "No!" Mac dealt five hits in response. "Qui!" Another jab, but Mac quickly countered for a Star.

Star Count: 3

Pisa Power Stamina: 5/8 of max.

Mac decided to end this knockdown and gathered his Stars for the Star Punch. "Ah, Mama Mia!" Pisa Power quickly cried before he was socked upside the head with the powerful uppercut. He stumbled backwards before falling face-first on the mat.

Pisa Power Knockdowns: 1

1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6!

Pisa Power picked himself up off the mat, brushing off his shoulders as he got back into the action. "Come on, come on! Fight!"

Pisa Power Stamina: 3/4 of max.

Round Time Left: 2:13

"Ha ha!" Pisa Power nailed Little Mac with an uppercut. "Let's-a go!" Counterpunched for a Star.

Star Count: 1

"Qui!" Mac dodged the incoming left jab. "Mama!" Mac struck him for four hits. Pisa Power then suddenly stepped back, placing his fists out to his sides. "Shell-a Cracker!" He did a quick leap forward (complete with an 8-bit Mario jump sound effect) and brought his fists together in an imitation of the Bear Hug, nailing Little Mac.

Star Count: 0

Little Mac Stamina: 1/3 of max

Round Time Left: 1:49

"Oh ho ho…!" Pisa Power went for his delayed uppercut, but Mac saw the opening and counterpunched.

Star Count: 1

"Ha ha!" Another uppercut, but it was dodged. "Ay!" Mac retaliated with five hits. Mac saw that pisa Power was getting tired. "Qui!" The left jab was dodged. "Yipe-a!" Mac dealt four hits. The Italian boxer then stepped back and extended his arms, ready for the Shell Cracker. Remembering that he couldn't dodge Bear Hug-type moves, Mac quickly ducked, the attack passing over him. "Cosa? (What?)" This allowed Mac seven punches. The final punch was enough to score his second knockdown as Pisa Power stumbled and fell.

Pisa Power Knockdowns: 2

1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8!

Pisa Power picked himself up to get back in the fight. "Come on, come on! Fight!"

Pisa Power Stamina: 5/8 of max.

Round Time Left: 1:05

"Ha ha!" Pisa Power nailed Little Mac with his uppercut.

Star Count: 0

Little Mac Stamina: 1/8 of max.

Little Mac was panting heavily. "Qui!" He managed to counterpunch the oncoming left jab.

Star Count: 1

Then Pisa Power stepped back for the Shell Cracker. Mac knew that if he was struck at the right time, he should go down, but to be safe, he decided to use his Star Punch. Waiting for him to leap, Pisa Power leapt forward, but as he did, Mac used his Star and socked the Italian at just the time he needed. The Star Punch robbed Pisa Power of his remaining stamina, and he stumbled back. Then, his body quickly switched to a pose with his arms above his head and a fearful look before he hopped up and fell down to the mat.

TKO!

*Cue Pisa Power's variant of the victory theme*

"Whoo-hoo!" Mac cheered, leaping into the air as the crowd roared in applause. He did a few fistpumps out of victory. "Yeah!"

*After the Match* *Cue Pisa Power's version of the after-match theme*

"Sa-mooth movin', Mac!" Doc Louis told him. "Knock those blocks off one by one! Are you ready for the next challenge?"

"Sembri più fragile di pasta della pizza, Mac! (You look more flimsy than pizza dough, Mac!)"

"Ah, mamma mia! Ho dimenticato che il mio pesche dolce e vado a cena più tardi! (Ah, mamma mia! I forgot that my sweet peach and I have dinner later!)"

*New Round Start*

Pisa Power whirled his arms to be read for the match. "Andiamo! (Let's go!)"

*Win Match*

Pisa Power did a high leap into the air, coming back down. "Wahoo!" He yelled, flashing a peace sign with a smile.

Doc Louis Tips

"Man, this guy plays too many video games! Welcome him back to reality, with your Star Punch!"

"Don't be fooled by his moves, Mac! Wait for the right moment, then dodge!"

"Mac, remember that some opponents get a kick out of watching you dodge. Make sure an attacks coming, first!"

"Mac, he may be a good jumper, but everyone has to come back down, right? Duck when you see him landing, ok?"

"Man, this guy has the moves of a professional... Plumber! HA HA HA!"
