Winner and Still Champion
a fanfic by DeadeyeDave and Mr.Crash
Disclaimer:
We don't own all the Nintendo characters that appear, such as Link,
Mario,
etc. They belong to whoever did create them (You know who you are),
and we
_swear_ that we would have put the little "R" symbol after the names,
except
that:1. We don't know how 2. we are lazy. Okay, _that's_ cleared up.
We think Navi is female, and if you disagree, please don't hesitate
to shut
up, we don't want to hear it.
We do own Aaron Seemas *cough* Samus Aran *cough* (We have a very limited
repartee). We needed a person who Samus would care about, as mercenaries
generally don't develop strong feelings to anyone.
We were baffled as to who would start the second Super Smash tournament,
so from the depths of out perverted imaginations (mostly Mr. Crash's),
we
came up with the Master, a.k.a. Ken Itche :-)
A final note: You hay find our humor obscure, disgusting, obscene, insane,
ad nauseam.
You can feel free to write long, threatening letters to us, but bear
in mind we will not
read them.

Part Three: Training and Preparation
***
After the Master had disappeared, I started to walk to the mansion marked
'Link/Zelda', my head full of questions. As I reached the front door,
my
left pocket suddenly weighed a little bit heavier, and I reached in
and
pulled out a key. I tried to open the door, but it was locked, so I
used the
key to open it. Inside, I could only think *WOW!* There were carpet
floors,
and there were pictures on the wall, and each door was marked with
a signs,
and the signs were marked with things like 'Kitchen' or 'Bathroom'.
I
paused in front of the door marked 'Zelda's Room', and then knocked
on the
door. I heard a faint "Come in". I opened the door.
I nearly fell over when I entered the room. There was a floor covered
with a
fine Zora rug, and pictures that showed Kokori Children talking to
the Great
Deku Tree. The walls and ceiling had been made from what I saw was
rocks from
the center of the Goron Mountain, but what made me nearly fall over
was who I
saw sitting on the bed on the far side of the room: Zelda. She was
in a
flowing, blue gown, and had a silver crown that was laden with jewels.
"Heyoo..hellow...hello, Zelda ." I finally stammered out. I started
to step
towards her, but stopped: I saw that she was crying. "Zelda, what's
the
matter?", I asked. She looked up at me, tears shining in her eyes,
and she
beckoned for me to sit down next to her. I sat down, and she hugged
me and
said:
"Link, I can't believe it. You told me how you were in a tournament
like this
six years ago and *sob* how it was so bad, because you had to fight
so much.
And what the Master told me..."
"What do you mean?", I asked. "If he hurt you, I swear that..."
"No, it wasn't anything like that. After he captured me, he said that
you had ruined his
plans, and that he would make you pay." Her voice lowered. "He said
that he was going
to kill you."
I laughed softly. "Its not the first time I've had a guy with a lot of power want to kill me."
"Link!" she said, seeming to brighten a little bit. "You should take
this more seriously. I
mean, I could lose you forever."
There was an awkward silence between the two of us.
"Well, uh, I, should, uh, probably....go to my room now, uh, right?"
I said, trying to end
the silence.
"Uh, yeah. I'll wish you luck."
"Thanks." I got up and stepped out of the room. (Editor's Note: Unknown
to either of
them, the instant the door closed they both exhaled a sigh of relief
at the exact same
time.-Mr. Crash) I found my room, and prepared to go to sleep.

THE NEXT DAY:
I woke up the next morning, feeling a little bit better. With a yawn,
I got up and began to
get dressed.
When I was dressed, I went to the room labeled 'Kitchen' and entered.
Inside I found
several tables, and Zelda sitting at one table eating breakfast (Editor's
Note: She wasn't
eating Goron Rock Crunch in the new granite flavor.-DeadeyeDave) I
sat down next to
her and started to eat. While I was just finishing up, she asked me
what I was going to do
today. I said "I'll probably look around the area, say hi to Kirby,
and train some."
She said "Don't work to hard. And say hi to Fox for me, okay?" I told
her that I would,
and then left.
When I got outside, I headed towards the crystal towers. I found that
they were all
divided into three parts: one third was for specific kinds of training,
one third was shops
(like bars and clothing stores), and the other third was used for celebrating
victories in
battles.
I headed into one of the training towers that increased your reflex
speed, and began to
train. Inside, you would have objects thrown at you, and you would
have to hit them. The
longer you played, the faster the objects came at you. The first time
I played, I went for
15 minutes without getting hit. The second time, I went for 25 minutes.
The third time, I
went for 28 minutes. I quit playing after the third time.
After the training, I went back to my mansion, and took a shower, said
hi to Zelda, and
set out again.
When I went out again, instead of heading to the towers, I instead headed
to Kirby's
mansion. I knocked on the front door when I got there. After a little
waiting, Kirby
answered the door. He invited me inside, and I stepped in.
The first thing I noticed was how much different his mansion looked
in comparison to
mine. Instead of having stone walls, for example, the walls seemed
to be made out of
some kind of fluff. Also, when he invited me into his kitchen, I noticed
it was about five
times bigger than mine, and that there was food everywhere. We sat
down at a table, and
we talked about what was just normal chit-chat, like how were things
before you got
captured, and what you planned to do (Kirby said that he was going
to train on increasing
his strength mostly before the fight). After that, I invited him to
come train with me at the
tower I had just trained at, and he said that he like to.
When we got to the tower, we went into separate rooms to train. After
we had trained ten
times each, we went out side, and saw that it was becoming dusk. I
said bye to him, and
then headed back to my mansion.
When I entered the mansion, I headed to the kitchen, and found Zelda
sitting down at a
table. I had some food, and then wished her a good night. But as I
stood up to leave, she
asked me to sit down next to her. I sat down, and she said "Link, I
want you to take care
of yourself. I don't think I could handle losing you. I mean, you've
helped and saved me
so many times, and you've always managed to survive. But now...your
in a situation were
you're fighting a person who is so much stronger than someone like
Ganondorf could
_ever_ be. Don't even fight if you don't want to, otherwise you could
get hurt. Just please
be careful, okay?"
"Zelda," I said " I'm glad you care about me. But I _have_ to fight,
otherwise he could
hurt or...or..." I said, my voice breaking "or kill you. If he killed
you I just wouldn't be
able to go on. You mean far too much to me.
And I would rather him hurt me than hurt you." I grinned slightly.
"And besides, I'm the
invincible Link! I will fight for Hyrule, and defend any fair maiden."
I looked at her when
I said the line about any fair maiden. I looked at her and smiled,
and she smiled back. I
suddenly realized how beautiful she was, in a silky blue gown, and
with a golden
necklace on. Her eyes were a deep blue, and her golden hair was shining.
I reached
forward and brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. I stopped, and
then slowly leaned
toward her, as if to...as if to...
"I...I've got to go," she said suddenly, and stood up and quickly left
the kitchen. I sighed a
little bit, but then stood up and began to head for my room. I went
to sleep, my head full
of unanswered questions.
