I'MMMMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Sorry for the long delay! I've been studying for my exam that I'm taking next week on Monday but I still have time for my readers :). Thank you so much for all the reviews! (16 reviews for 3 chapters?) I could have never gone this far without you! But I remember it's quality over quantity and I have read every single review! So now starting next chapter I will start responding to them in chapters! So send me questions and what you think is going to happen! I would love to hear them :D. Remember I type these on my Ipod so sorry for any spelling mistakes! Disclaimer: I don't own anybody except myself so hah! Wait...
"Pit is pretty skilled isn't he?" said Link elbowing Zelda with a grin. Link was seriously impressed with the angel, especially his swordsmanship.
"Yes..." said Zelda and frowned a bit. Link, assuming it was because of Pit, sighed in disapproval.
Never pegged Zelda as the competitive type...
"What's wrong?" he said barely above a whisper. Zelda turned and tried to smile but it looked more like a grimace.
"Nothing, nothing!" she said waving both her hands. "I'm going to see who's playing in the next round."
With that said, the princess stood up, brushed off her dress, and promptly left the room without Link. The swordsman sighed again before trailing after her slowly. Zelda was hurriedly walking down the hallway, hoping Link wouldn't follow her. She was trying to get this done before the next match started.
Flashback
The princess was approaching the dining room as usual. All the other brawlers were in there but she was late due to checking up on Hyrule Castle (some guards are just so incompetent these days). Zelda was just about to knock the door when someone grabbed her wrist roughly and pulled her from the door.
"What in the name of Din is going on he-!" she shrieked but was cut off by the attacker smothering her mouth.
"Well, well princess." Zelda's eyes widened when she recognized the voice. "Wouldn't want everyone to hear you?"
"Mmph!" she tried to pry his hands off her mouth but to no avail. His grip was too strong so she bit him roughly on his hands. The man hissed and briefly removed his hands.
"LINK!" the princess screamed and tried to reach the door before the attacker could grab her again.
The man swore and quickly left a piece of paper in her dress before running off. The princess briefly considered pursuing him so she can fight him but decided against it. She instead unfolded the paper and read it. Her eyes widened considerably. Suddenly the door flew open with Link, Ike, and Marth barging through.
"Are you ok?" the Hylian asked worriedly. "I heard you yelling my name."
"Sorry" the princess spoke softly. "I thought I saw a mouse."
The swordsmen shared a glance but nonetheless ushered Zelda into the dining room.
Flashback end
And now here she was to make a deal with the devil.
"Behind the villain's waitroom.." she murmured the directions to herself.
She had finally reached the room and was waiting for the Gerudo King to emerge. Sure enough he came into the room a few moments later. "Alright, I'm here." she spat angrily. "Now what do you want."
Ganon smirked at the shivering princess. "My revenge."
"W-what?"
"I need to fight Link and I need to beat him", Ganon said calmly. "And you're going to help me."
"I refuse!" exclaimed the princess vehementally. "If you want to fight him, you do so in the tournament, fairly."
Ganon leaned against the wall and glared at Zelda. "You don't understand. It's either this win or your people."
"You have no leverage against me Ganon."
"No?" said Ganon mocking surprise. "Then why is it I have Zant on orders ready to destroy the castle?"
The princess mouth gaped and started stammering. "That's right. And before you or your hero make it there, it'll be gone."
"You can't do this."
Ganon stood up straight and walked close to Zelda and leaned close to her face.
"I always get what I want."
Zelda gasped at the implication and hurriedly ran towards the door. Ganon reached to grab her.
"Nayru's shield!"
Ganon was thrown off the princess as a blue diamond dome engulfed the princess. She glared down at him.
"You dare touch my people and I'll destroy you."
With that said the princess promptly walked through the door and closed it with a thunderous smash. She then turned to her left...
And bumped into Link who was leaning against the wall. The swordsman turned to her with dark eyes, confirming her fear he had heard everything in the room. He just shook his head and stormed straight into the room Zelda was previously occupying.
"Link, no!" the princess ordered before running into the room herself. Thank the goddesses, she thought looking around the vacant room.
"When were you planning on telling me." said Link softly, his back still facing Zelda.
"Actually, right now." the princess admitted. "Are you angry?"
"Damn straight I'm angry!" Link yelled throwing his hands up in frustration. "But not at you."
"What were you planning on doing when you ran in here?"
"I don't even know." Link admitted. Zelda placed her hands on his quivering shoulders. "I knew something was up ever since yesterday. Zelda, scared of a mouse?"
"I can be scared of stuff!"
"Maybe I should let Ganon get his revenge." Link pondered. "For the sake of your peo-"
"No!" Zelda protested turning Link to face her. "You cannot let him beat you and that's an order!"
"Excuse me?" Link asked in disbelief as Zelda turned her 'stoic ruler' personality on.
"You heard me." said the princess darkly. "If you disobey me, I will have no choice but to imprison you."
Link jerked away in surprise at the princess' sudden change in dimeanor but nonetheless nodded his head. The princess smiled triumphantly and took the swordsman by the elbow.
"We have a kingdom to save."
Transition
"You heard me" Ganon snarled echoing the princess' earlier statement, tighetening his arm around the announcer's neck. "Announce mine and Link's match now."
"I told you I can't today!" the announce wheezed trying to loosen the grip to no avail. "The Master Hand will notice it!"
Ganon threw the man to the ground. "You make a valid point but if you do not announce it next week, I will destroy you."
With that said, the Gerudo King walked out the door and smashed it closed. The announcer stood up slowly and catched his breath. He then took the microphone with shaky hands and turned it on.
"AND NOW FOR THE NEXT MATCH!", his voice boomed over the stadium. "IKE VS OLIMAAAAR!"
The miniature man heard his name called and immediately stood up smiling. He accepted the many good lucks and proceeded to the stage to where his first match would commence. He stood at the huge double doors that would lead to the arena. His opponent passed by him and wished him good luck as well before leaving through the doors to the thunderous applause. He then adjusted his space helmet and patted his case where his loyal pikmin resided before leaving through the doors as well.
Olimar was ready. . . .
Transition
Ike had just passed through the large double doors and was making his way up the stairs. His opponent Olimar..; very cute kid looks harmless.
"Looks can be deceiving." Marth had warned him before he left. They can be... like the goddess of Tellius, Ashera whom he was forced to defeat. Much to his surprise, the audience seemed to be chanting his name. The swordsman shook his head laughing as he walked over to his side of the battlefield. His opponent joined him momentarily.
"BATTLE TYPE! STOCK x3!"
The battlefield then starting changing with the two brawlers in it. After already seeing Pit's fight, they were not surprised. Soon the battlefield stopped shifting. Ike found himself standing on an empty platform, Olimar on his own across from him. There were five platforms in all in what seemed to be the inside of a volcano? Suddenly a huge spike of Lava burst up causing Ike to fall back.
"W-where are we?" Olimar asked shakingly. The announcer's voice echoed through the arena.
"Welcome to Norfair, boys."
Transition
Ike, not wanting to have the lava spike again, was patiently waiting for Olimar to make the first move. Olimar seemed to be doing the same.
Just come over here...
Suddenly Olimar reached into the pocket of his space suit and pulled out a yellow Pikmin who seemed to have electricity generating in it's leaf bud.
What the-?
Olimar threw the Pikmin at him with incredible speed and power. Ike was forced to jump in the air to dodge it. He took out his Ragnell and was preparing to attack Olimar with an aerial attack when Olimar threw another yellow Pikmin at him. The electricity was so strong it was actually keeping him airborne.
"Argh!" Ike groaned as the electricity pierced through him.
He then fell out of eyeshot, smoke trailing his path. Olimar smiled expecting to see the large colored signal that would signify Ike's defeat. But strangely enough no such thing was happening. He then heard the hushed gasp of the audience and turned around. He was met with Ike's large trademark blade burning with flames coming towards him.
Olimar was sent hurling towards the sky as his stock pileage decreased to 2. Ike swung his huge two-handed sword behind his back and stood his signature pose.
"You'll get no sympathy from me."
I had to add the last line! Every time I play as Ike, I always do that taunt! Sooooo what did you guys think of this chapter? The arc is starting :D but don't worry it involves all the Brawl characters. This isn't just revenge..no no...this is the start of something much too big for Ganon himself. So the Ike vs Olimar match will wrap up next chapter then I'll go more in depth of just what is going on. So tell me in a review! Ike or Olimar? WHO SHALL WIN?
