Chapter Three: Many Realms abound

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters displayed in this chapter.

Master hand zipped through time and space in his grasp he held captives from the last few realms he had visited, a fully black figure, a figure with a glass helmet, a small figure with what seems to be a T.V for a head and ball shaped hands.

But there were more than those, a statue of what appeared to be a red robot and one a black robot, next to those was a large purple dragonoid creature. One of the figurines seemed to be a small blue robot, and next to that a red one with a sword.

Master hand, however worried as he entered another realm. Crazy hand was beating him by a few, and his master might not be pleased with his lack of capture...

The giant floating glove looked below him, fields of grass, just like the Mushroom kingdom, except this one seemed older. He knew this place, it was Hyrule.

Crazy hand began searching, for his newest target. Before venturing into his current realm he had with him, seventeen statues in his inventory. A blue animal with spikes, a red animal with spikes, another blue one with spikes, however they were metal, and a black animal with spikes.

He also had a strange wooden doll, what seemed to be a spy, three swordsmen, one with red hair, and two with blue. A golden haired man with a blade, a winged archer, a muscular man with a race car helmet and large man that accompanied the race car man.

He also had three apes, a strange man with an "N" symbol and a robot.

Yes, the insane floating hand had obviously been busy with his work, and his newest targets were within the realm of Onett. He had already captured two blond ones, a boy and girl. His current target was on the run however.

Master hand shifted between time relevances in this realm, different targets within different era's made this job all the more complicated. His first stop however was within a small forest village, he had two targets to grab here.

The hand first glanced at an orange haired boy in green, looking like he was guarding something, he recognized it as a target. With incrediable speed, he grabbed the young boy and altered his form. One down, five to go.

Crazy hand had finally cornered the boy, who had a striped shirt and red baseball cap on. The boy whimpered as some sort of power allowed him to see the giant floating glove, Crazy made short work of the boy and moved on. No sympathy. Not for them.

Master hand glided across water, the small child in the tree house had gone without so much as a yell and now he was secure within Master hands grasp, as had the princess in her mighty castle.

But then the glove had to change realm era's, which was a generally annoying process. He saw his fourth target, it looked near identical to the younger boy from earlier, except maybe a tad smaller and younger, slightly.

Without so much a second thought, he grabbed the child and proceeded.

Crazy hand had already switched realms, he was now floating in what would be considered outer space, searching for his targets. And he saw one, fighting already. On top of a ship, a fox, wolf and bird were fighting, or that's how it seemed. "Easy for the picking."

Taboo looked over his current work, he had been building a realm for the fighters, with small houses to accompany fighters. There was a training area, and for the first rounds he had built a small arena. It was all coming together nicely.

Master hand was finished in the land of Hyrule, he had all the combatants from there and was ready to move on. To Pop star. For the last of the combatants.

Crazy hand chuckled insanely, the fools had set themselves up without even assuming it! He now only needed one and his work would be finished, he hoped Taboo would be pleased with his work, he just needed a certain little blue creature...

Not too far away from crazy hand rested a girl, she had light blue fur and dark blue hair, she wielded a staff. She closed her eyes and relaxed, not realizing that the hand closed it's clutches around her, not noticing that she had turned from living into a statue. She didn't notice. At all.

Master hand looked disgustedly at the over colorful world he had slipped into, but the disgust was quickly broken when he realized his targets were right next to him, a pink puff ball, a large blue penguin and a masked swordsman. All arguing. All not suspicious.

With a fluid swipe of the body, master hand grabbed all three of them, they only had a few seconds to yell out before they were turned to stone. Things were fine. Things were perfect.

Taboo greeted the two hands with the utmost pleasure, glad that they had brought him his entertainer's. He smiled evilly.

" Using the things I tell you, greet the combatants. In a nice, humanoid form. I'm sure they will be pleased. I do hope so."

And without a doubt, the two gloves turned into what seemed to be humans, both with white hair and a muscular figure. They teleported the statues alongside them as they transported to Taboo's fresh realm. The Dark Tournament would start soon.

And in the background... a laugh, laugh of darkness.

Please Review! I'm not going to keep righting if no one's interested. Duh.
