Chapter 9: Day 3

Samus had stayed up all night analyzing the data. She sighed as everyone gathered around to here the results of her hard work. "These fake smash shards are just like the real ones, they are nearly impossible to distinguish and these fake ones are surprisingly more powerful. The Clones are also going to get stronger as more time progresses." With that she held out her two smash shards that she had claimed from the Sheik clones. She jabbed them into her suit. They turned into a blue liquid and it looked like the suit absorbed them. "I recommend that we use the shards against our opponents. However the strongest of us may only be able to use 10 shards. My suit is all ready adapting to accommodate the shards. If we do use the shards I recommend that we use 1 shard a day so that it isn't a deadly shock to our system."

"So in short our greatest weapon is something that can kill us."

"Yes," Samus replied. "My next study will be side effects on the body. Or in my case my vira suit. I wish you luck in today's event tower."

With that they appeared in the event tower. However to their surprise there were only five doors.

"What's going on?" Peach asked.

"I decided to change the rules," Master Hand replied. "Since you all seemed content on just progressing in numerical order I decided to only give you access to the next five." Link's eyes flared up.

"GET DOWN HERE NOW MASTER HAND!" He shouted in anger.

"You now have to pass three events if you want to save Young Link! Of course who knows there might be another twist tomorrow requiring you to complete all 20 event matches in order to save Young Link."

"I hate you"

They all walked over inspecting each of the doors. The thirteenth door required Yoshi to be there. However everyone was gathering around the 12th door.

"No," Link replied in shock reading over the requirements. "I am the only one who will be able to KO an opponent in less than 7 seconds."

"But that means that you won't be able to rescue Young Link tomorrow!" Captain Falcon pleaded with him. "At least let me try!"

"No," Link replied. "There is a chance for failure,"

"Then let me!" Zelda began to plead. "I can chant a spell"

"No, the minimum time it will take you is five seconds, for the attack to reach the opponent is at least another two to five depending on the distance. I can guarantee a win." With that Captain Falcon knocked him unconscious.

"I'll do it," Captain Falcon shouted ignoring the fact that he just knocked Link unconscious.

"Its good that you stopped him," Master Hand sighed. "Because the event tower would only appear for 4 days!"

"So there would be no fifth day." Zelda replied. "Such dirty tricks you pull." She muttered disgusted.

Eventually they decided that Roy would go into the 11th door, Captain Falcon the 12th, Yoshi the 13th, Peach on the 14th, and DK on the 15th. At the same time they all walked through the door.


Roy was shivering; it had suddenly become extremely cold. He was ankle deep in snow and a fierce blizzard buffeted against him. "I just have to survive for one minute," he muttered to himself. He could suddenly see four silhouettes through the blizzard of people charging towards him. He drew his sword and readied himself for the onslaught. All four attacked at once swinging down mallets at him. Roy blocked and countered them away. When doing that he noticed that his sword was releasing heat every time he swung it. Roy smiled knowing that this fight would now be slightly easier. Roy ran around the room evading them for the full minute. When the minute was done the two set of ice climber clones stopped moving and a Smash crystals came from them. Meanwhile they shrunk down into two sets of miniature trophies. Roy grabbed the 4 smash crystals and then took the trophies. Hesitating for a moment he looked at the trophies and picked them up.


Captain Falcon was sweating. He was unsure if he could knock out his opponent in 7 seconds. As he entered the room he readied his attack the Falcon Punch. Out of nowhere a Captain falcon clone charged at him. He released his attack and sent the clone flying. Falcon paused for a brief second realizing that not even 3 seconds had passed. The Smash Crystal from the clone's body floated towards him. He grabbed it and walked out.


Yoshi was holding onto an egg and frantically running away from a Pikachu, Fox, and DK clones. After 50 seconds of running away Yoshi grew tired and faced them wanting to fight. He charged towards them ready to fight however they disappeared. The Smash Shards floating where they used to be along with three trophies below. Yoshi looked at the items in confusion and grabbed the three Smash Shards and three trophies.
Peach entered the room and to her shock the clones were fighting each other. She watched them and hoped that they didn't notice her. Luckily they didn't and they knocked each other out. Peach thought that somewhere off in the distance Master Hand was slamming himself against the wall in frustration. The three Smash Shards floated over to her and she grabbed them. Floating towards her also was a trophy of a goomba. Reluctantly she picked it up and walked away.


DK was running away frantically from three giant clones of Peach, Samus, and Zelda. He eventually decided to turn around and fight smashing into each of them. With several attacks he knocked them back and eventually into each other. He then punched them all at once sending them flying into the wall and exploding into Smash Shards. He grabbed the three Smash Shards and walked out of the room.


"Day three complete..." Master Hand moaned agonized that they had beaten more of the clones. "You have all grown in the past three years beyond my expectations." With that the Event Tower disappeared.

The Melee Master was once again waiting for them. "I have just visited the Temple in the Sky," He said not really happy. "It is protected by a barrier."

To be continued...

Sigh... Writing these event matches are getting boring... Ya... I think that was pretty evident... they really don't do much to advance the plot do they? Luckly only one more chapter of this... and then back to the legitimate plot... or is it?
