A long bridge stretched out to the left and to the right. There was a shimmering barrier that marked the edge of the stage. If you passed that line, your opponent scored a point. I'd read about this stage in the books at the library earlier this summer. Apparently, I bore a striking resemblance to the heroes of that realm. I was even left handed and used some of the same weapons. This stage was built so that we could remember the Hero of Twilight. It resembled the Eldin Bridge, a place where a horseback battle took place with a monster called a bulblin.

"This battle will be based on general skill," Ms. Wii's voice boomed over hidden intercoms. "The battle status is one stock, no items. But, final smashes are allowed." Zelda gave a silent "YESSSSS" to herself. Though she was excited, the last part about final smashes made me nervous. Everyone who has the "aura" is also born with a powerful move called a final smash. We were supposed to manifest ours over the summer, but I haven't received mine. Oh well, too late to turn back now.

"3! 2! 1! GO!" Zelda rushed towards me, and hit me square in the chest with a close range magic spell. I flew back a little, and she tried to juggle me with and upward launch attack. I thrust my sword down and hit her before she could send me flying again. She skidded across the ground before regaining her balance.

"Not bad," she said, giving a nod of approval. As she teleported behind me, I swiftly dodged her attack and fired my hookshot, pulling her into a grab. In the heat of the battle, I wasn't concerned about how close Zelda was to me. Slamming her onto the ground, and sending her flying with the rebounded force, she teleported down on top of me before I could hit her with an upward launch attack. I flew straight into the exploding barrel that broke part of the bridge, barely staying on stage.

"Sorry, but I don't think you'll be winning this one," Zelda said. The sky darkened as she summoned enough power to be granted her final smash. A glowing bow almost as tall as she was appeared in her hands. I tried to jump, but it was too late. Stars exploded across my vision as her Light Arrow pierced me through. Time seemed to slow down. It was as if I could see Marth's smug grin. I wasn't. Going. To lose. A hum started in my chest, then buzzed its way to my head, my hands, and all the way down to my feet. I immediately recognized this feeling as my final smash. I gave a yell and sliced through the arrow with a flaming sword. My entire body was engulfed with a rainbow fire as a let loose the built up power. What was unleashed was a merciless 16-hit combo, ending with a devastating final blow. Crimson lightning cracked and boomed as Zelda was launched out of bounds. The battle ended, and I was back in the common room. I suddenly felt exhausted, and sank down into the nearest couch. I took a swig from my water bottle, when I finally realized Zelda staring at me. I shifted in my seat under her gaze.

"Well, that was quite the interesting battle," a voice said. A chill raced up my spine when I realized who had spoken. The entire room fell silent. Ganondorf, the principle of School of Smash stool in the doorway. His expression would have been even, if not for the spark of curiosity in his eyes. He was looking right at me.

"I look forward to seeing more great talent from you." With that, Ganondorf left the common room as fast as he'd entered. But lingering in the air behind him was as sense of awe. Ganondorf was said to be the best brawler out there. The fact that I had grabbed his attention struck me as shocking. Then all at once, we dispersed into the locker rooms, acting as if nothing happened. I was fine with it staying that way. After changing back into my uniform, I began to head to math class. But before I reached the door, I was stopped by Marth.

"That little stunt was impressive. Though impressive, will it be enough to beat me?" He then turned and stalked away in the other direction.


Yang: Sister sitting behind me, do you have something to say?

Yin: I want iced chai

Yang: Weird flex but okay

Yin: Oh wait you're writing a thing I didn't mean-

Yang: Too late the natural dialogue will be posted!
