4-A Bad Beginning

The coliseum was huge, and it held around four thousand people. Characters from all over the worlds were here to see the spectacle. A large section of the building had been reserved for the contenders. Ganon, Link and Fox sat together, waiting for the others. In the largest chair at the top, Peach sat, waving to everyone. From where Link was, he could make out Mario and Kirby pretty well, they were standing on opposite ends of the floor. Half of the crowd was chanting, "KIRBY" and the other half had bright red hats for Mario. Ganon leaned over so that Link could see him and shouted over the crowd, "I'll wager three hundred rupees that Kirby kicks Mario's ass!" Link answered with a rude hand gesture. After the contenders got settled, (Donkey Kong had gotten lost) a toadie appeared in the centre of the coliseum, and everyone cheered. "Everyone! Now is the time for the games to begin! May I ask those who have magic mirrors or cell phones to keep them off at all times during the games..." Everyone in the audience pulled out a communication device and turned it to vibrate. Link rolled his eyes, "Technology..." he glanced at Ganon, who was on the selection menu of his own cell. The Toadie continued, "Thank you! And Now....the moment you've all been waiting for!!!! LETS BRAWL!!!!" The lights dimmed as Kirby and Mario became the focus of attention. The audience screamed with excitement as they started to fight. Mario was fast, kicking and punching at Kirby with full force, but Kirby had way more skills. He drew Mario in with his breath, and then smashed him with a large magic hammer. The crowd cheered as Mario fell to the ground, half conscious. Kirby was about to deliver the death blow, when a giant horn blew from above. Kirby turned towards the sky, and appearing above the coliseum, was a large space ship.

"Is that part of the act?" Zelda asked Marth, as they took in the large ship. Marth shrugged, "I don't know, maybe." Zelda watched carefully, she had been taken over way to many times to not find the ship suspicious. "I don't think-"Zelda's sentence never got finished. The ship's loud horn blew again, and two lasers came out of the sky blasting at the people on the ground. Marth took out his sword, "ZELDA!" he shouted over the noise, "LETS MOVE!" she nodded and let him led her through the now panicking crowd. As they moved towards the exits, she felt Marth's grip slip off of her hand, and when she looked up, he was gone. "MARTH!?" she shouted, franticly searching for him. People were smashing past her, pushing her aside. "Marth!" she yelled again, but he was nowhere to be found. Someone hit her hard trying to get past and Zelda fell to the ground. Her triangular earring fell from her ear and flung into the crowd. She tried to get up, but the crowd was so chaotic she could hardly move at all. She felt someone tug her arm and she jumped, "This way Princess!" Fox held her arm tight and lead her through the crowd.

Someone body checked Link out of there way as he, Fox and Ganon tried to move out. Link fell, and the master sword flung out of his hand. It wasn't far away, so Link rushed to grab it. The crowd was pushing against him, and it was hard to get over to it. Without that sword...Link shuttered at the thought. He pushed his way across, and searched around for it. When he had found it, he put it away and searched the crowd for his friends. "Fox? Ganon?" Link couldn't see them anymore. He started towards the exits with the others, when he heard a woman's high pitched scream. Strong wind seemed to come out of nowhere, and Link felt it pull at him. He tried to fight it, but it grabbed him. As he turned, he saw what it was...some sort of black mass. Panic filled him, and he tried desperately to stab the master sword into the ground. The sword caught ground and Link held on, as people all around him started to get sucked into the black mass. Link felt his grip slipping on the sword. He tried to get it back, but the force was to strong. After a few minutes of struggling, his hand slipped, and he fell into the darkness. The black mass started to grow, and grow and grow. Eventually it filled the whole sky up, and sucked in everything it touched. When there was nothing left, it started to close, and the ship, disappeared.
