The hyrulian warrior charged forward and swung his blade towards palutena. He aimed for her neck, intending to incapacitate or even knock her off the stage. Palutena leaned back impressed at his resolve.

I can see how serious he is. That blonde hair, muscular broad shoulders, and those forearms. Palutena always wondered why princess Zelda chose link to be her knight in shining armor. Why she waited countless hours and days locked in a castle or dungeon. Why she even paid Ganondorf rubies just to fake being kidnapped on some occasions. She realized it as she watched him charge forward with each swing. A muscular hunk like that? Who wouldn't fall for him?

But you'll be a meal too, my dear hyrulian. Palutena thought as she teleported away. Her movements were rather sluggish thanks to the newfound weight trapped in her belly. Palutena lowered her hand below her hand hoping to lift up her stomach but found it too heavy to bear. She heard Zelda's muffled screams still. It'd be hard to continue fighting with the princess screaming from inside her gullet all the time.

"Now Princess, if you don't be quiet, I can't concentrate!" Palutena grumbled with a frown as she swung her staff to defend against link's blows.

"HYAAAA" Link swung upward, the sharp end of the master sword aimed towards palutena's midsection. Palutena moved backward and floated out of the way. Link scowled as he became even angrier, unable to save his princess. all the extra weight on her stomach and floating was the only way to dodge link's barrage of attacks.

He was starting to become impatient and pulled out his royal bow and arrow. The warrior pulled back on the string and sent a barrage of arrows flowing towards palutena. She smirked, amazed at the lengths that link would go to save princess Zelda. Palutena outstretched her staff, stomped the bottom onto the ground, and spoke.

"Reflect!" Palutena spoke and out came a large beautiful mirror that became a wall in front of her. The arrows hit the shield at break-neck speed then went immediately back to their carrier. Three arrows flew back and breakneck speed towards link. Link pulled out his famous shield and blocked them with ease.

"Not bad link! Not bad at all!:

He spun around, using centripetal force, and hurled a bomb over towards palutena.

"Again with the projectiles?" Palutena thought with a giggle and she reflected the bomb again. However, it just barely bounced off before exploded in bright blue light.

"Ahh!" Palutena cried out in pain. She had finally taken damage from the warrior. The goddess backed away and looked down at the burn on her arm. How dare he burn her! She was a goddess of light, not a mere mortal! To be wounded by the "Hero of time" was a crime against her. Complete disrespect of her holiness. Palutena felt her stomach begin to gurgle again. Maybe the princess had finally finished taking her last breath and had met her end. It didn't matter anyway. She'd be revived again in the next match.

"Link! I've had enough of your games." Palutena teleported behind him and smirked.

"Nothing personnel link!" Palutena smacked him with her staff and sent him flying towards the edge of the map. He used his grappling hook to shoot up towards the edge and pulled himself up. In a fury of rage, he swung his sword against palutena ready to pierce her belly; but palutena activated her shield and managed to break link's sword.

The warrior was in shock, complete disbelief that his master sword was reduced to mere rubble. He fell down to his knees, his brain tried to process what he had just witnessed. That was when palutena decided it was the perfect moment to strike. She teleported behind link, grabbed him, and slammed him down on the ground. The weight of her belly kept him from moving, even though he struggled to be free.

"Now you'll be my meal!" Palutena said with a devilish smile across her lips, her cheeks becoming a shade of lemonade pink. Palutena smiled smugly at link's timid expression. For a man that was once full of fire and vigor, now he quivered beneath palutena's might. He was nothing more than a boy who had to grow up too quickly, unable to enjoy his youth.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to enjoy his prime either. Palutena was extra hungry now from all that battling.

"Bottoms up!" Palutena chuckled as she opened her mouth wide. Relics and glyphs formed behind her as she used her goddess might devour link. She started head first, opening her mouth wide, and submerged link's head into her mouth. Palutena loved the taste of his strong chin bones, his silky hair, and tender cheeks. She enjoyed the sound of him screaming as she lifted him in the air and pushed him deeper and deeper into her throat.

Palutena gripped her fingers into link's toned stomach, feeling for his chiseled abs and grinned.

No wonder Zelda fell for you! Palutena thought as she continued to swallow him more and more. She heard his muffled screams as he started to fill in more and more of her stomach. She swallowed and swallowed until his beefed-up ass and legs were left.

*Gulp*

Palutena gulped hard to swallow link's toned yet plump ass. He was thick for a man of his caliber. She grabbed both legs, link flailed his legs around in one last attempt to fight back but alas it was too late. Palutena shoved link's legs down into her throat, his brown shoes remained and she gulped those down too.

*Gulp*

She swallowed down hard again and finally felt him settle down into her gut. She heard his screams of terror as he was bubbling inside next to Zelda's digested remains and cried out.

"Phew!" Palutena exhaled a sigh of relief as she fell to her knees and stroked her upset stomach. It was larger than before and twice as heavy. Palutena found it hard to move and sat there for a while to get her stomach and body adjusted to it's larger weight and heavier meal. She sighed and rubbed her belly with affection. It groaned and gurgled away, slowly digesting a panicked link.

*UUUUURP*

Palutena burped loudly and felt link's shoes rise up from her throat. She coughed them up and they fell to the ground beneath her. They were soggy, wet, were partly digested, and smelt horribly.

"Gross." Palutena cringed at the shoes but wasn't unsettled that link was going to suffer the same fate.

"They'll be revived once the match is over so it's no big deal," Palutena muttered to herself. She sighed, looked up at the other fighters remaining.

ZELDA DEFEATED! A loud voice cried out. Palutena never understood who those voices were nor where they came from. They were outside space and time. Gods that were like her, but more omnipotent.

More powerful than I? The goddess of light? How dare they!" Palutena pouted and she listened away to her rumbling stomach grinding away at link. She saw a large fart cloud erupt in the distance, a bomb get thrown, and saw a red-hatted plumber come flying her way.

"Oh-a noooooooo!" Mario cried out as he was flung away towards the others. He was headed right towards palutena, and she hadn't even finished digesting link yet. She hoped he'd go away on his own and not fight her. Mario crashed down to the floor, dazed and confused. He looked up in a dizzy state, saw palutena's massive belly, and immediately got to his feet.

"MAMA MIAAAA!" Mario howled out in terror, "What-a did you do palutena?" Palutena smiled sheepishly, hoping that he'd be foolish enough to lie her way out of this.

"I uh…" Palutena paused to think of a lie, "I had a big lunch! Do you know how those food items keep spawning in here? I can't get enough of them. Too many maximum tomatoes, you know!" Mario took off his cap and scratched his scalp.

Take the bait! Take the bait! Palutena thought as she kept on her facade.

"Well-a, I'll be going! That-a Wario is-a really gonna get it!" Mario said as he turned around and started to jump back to where the others are, but it took one sound for Mario to turn back around.

"HYAAAA!" Link screamed from the top of his lungs inside of palutena's gut. Palutena slapped her belly to hush him and her stomach.

"Shut up link, shut up. You're ruining everything." Palutena scowled as she hit her belly some more, "Hurry up and digest him already." Palutena frowned as she looked back towards Mario. Mario was confused at first, but then it dawned on him that palutena was behind this. Mario formed a fireball in his hand and was ready to fight.

"Why him? Why now?" Palutena groaned as she tried to stand up, but her belly was too massive to move.

"Just give me a few seconds Mario. These tomatoes are bad for my figure." Palutena pleaded, but Mario was no fool. He charged forward ready to strike her with his fists.

"Fine," Palutena said angrily as she raised up her hand and in that instant, she materialized a replica of the master sword in her hand. It was nearly identical to the one link owned. Palutena stared in disbelief and smiled.

"If I can use the master sword, then maybe.." Palutena raised her hands up in the air and a ball of fire went towards Mario and exploded in a blaze. He was sent flying backward but wasn't stirred by the attack.

"I can use Zelda's attacks as well?" Palutena grinned sadistically, "Their kits were updated since the previous game. Let's see what these two can really do!" Mario fixed his hat on his head, tilted it forward. Palutena taunted the plumber.

"You know Mario, I hope you were as tasty as the rest of them because there are no stars to save you now. I really hope you don't taste like mushrooms though, you'll really upset my stomach." Palutena said with a smug grin and patted her belly to add insult to injury.

"You-a won't eat-a anybody anymore," Mario said in defiance to palutena. Palutena giggled for a few seconds and then broke out into a burst of sadistic laughter. Pit would have a fit if he saw her like this.

"You? Stop me? I'd like to see you try! You can't even keep peach safe, but don't worry. Where you're going, you'll be the one stuck in another castle. Forever!"
