Super Smash Bros Melee
Note(s) from the author: I know Zelda is dressed and addressed as Sheik in ssb2, but although she fights in her Sheikah-outfit in my fanfic, she is announced as Zelda and not as Sheik. Furthermore, I put in more characters than just the basic fourteen characters from ssb2. That makes the story longer. Some fighters from other beat-em-ups, like Dead or Alive and Bio Freaks. (Don't worry, Smash Bros rules!) Oh, yeah. I didn't know the colour of Samus' hair, but I saw a picture of her with brown hair, so I used that. Enjoy. (or not...)
Chapter 1: Prior to the Tournament
Zelda was getting tired. This certainly was a long match and she wasn't used to that. Fox was definitely a though one. They both had to fall one time to lose. They stood opposite of each other on a platform. The platform stood a few meters above ground. Fox's kicks were fast and furious. She had the most trouble of blocking or dodging them. Fox slowly pulled out his blaster and aimed it at her with one hand. "You were good, Zelda." Zelda stood ready to duck. Too early meant defeat. Too late meant defeat as well. Fox waited. He wanted Zelda to get nervous. At the beginning of the match she was able to block his shots with her hands, but she felt too weak. The shots weren't deadly, of course. But they did inflict quite some pain and it could be too much for her at her current state. Fox's finger slowly moved over the trigger. Zelda waited... waited... waited... She ducked, but it was too early. Fox aimed down at her and shot a red, glowing laserbeam at her. It hit her in the chest. A burning pain shot through her body as she stumbled backwards. She stood on the edge of the platform. Fox quickly put his blaster away and ran towards the Hylian. He made a slight jump and placed his feet towards Zelda. Zelda looked up just in time to see Fox flying towards her. His feet hit her chest in a powerful blow and she flew through the air a couple of meters before hitting the ground... next to the platform. Fox remained on the platform and used his arms to take his fall and immediately stood up. Zelda slowly stood up. Her back ached. And the rest of her body wasn't in such good shape either. She heard the narrator: "The winner is... FOX!!" She walked to the edge of the platform and pointed a hand towards Fox. "Nice fight, Fox." she said from behind her Sheikah-mask. She fought better in her Sheikah suit. At least, better then in a dress. She sometimes wore it when she wanted some peace around her. Then she would sneak out of the castle. Dressed as Sheik the Sheikah, she wouldn't be recognised. However, she had to reveal her identity for the tournament. Her father wasn't pleased about what she had done. Oh well. First the tournament, then her father. Fox took her hand and shook it. "You too, Zelda." Fox jumped from the platform. He had won his first fight. The tournament hadn't started yet. Those who wanted could fight a friendly battle against each other. Zelda had lost her first match. It was a good training, though. Fox had fought in the first Smash Bros tournament that year before. Zelda had never heard of the tournament before. Many competitors from many places came to Mushroom Kingdoom to participate in the tournament. Thanks to last year's succes, more fighters signed up, including Zelda. Most participants from the year before fought again this year. Those were the men and women with experience. Zelda was inexperienced in battle, but knew her way around in the arcane magicks. She was also pretty agile and decided to give it a shot. She was only seventeen and her father would have never allowed her to enter the tournament, but she wanted to fight so badly. It would help get her mind off things, especially get her mind off the man that had devestated her... an evil man by the name of Ganondorf. She had sneeked out of the castle with the help of her attendant, Impa. When she had arrived in Mushroom Kingdom, she had rent a room at an inn. She had met Fox and the two had decided a little spar wouldn't hurt. Zelda had been wrong. She removed her mask and shook her head to release her long, blonde hair. Fox looked at her in amazement. "Hey... You're a Hylian, right? Your ears..." Zelda nodded. "Are Hylians so well-known?" Fox laughed. His tail continuously followed his movements. Fox was smaller than Zelda, but Lylatans weren't large creatures. He was the squadronleader of the StarFox team. Normally, it was hard to seperate him from his wingmen, Peppy, Falco and Slippy. But everyone had to come alone to the tournament. "To be honest, I never heard of Hylians until the tournament last year." He started to walk to the exit of the building where he and Zelda had been sparring. Zelda followed him. The spectators and the narrator exited the building as well. Someone gave Fox a pat on the back as a show of admiration. "Was there a Hylian in last year's tournament?" Fox simply nodded. "We have fought in a team last year. If you ask me, he was a bit too green back then, but he is very reliable and he will never let you down in a fight. He fights again this year. If you have the opportunity to chose a team-mate, chose him." They walked out of the building and through a peacefull, little town. The inhabitants were all small mushroom-like guys. Where the real tournament would take place was still a secret. Zelda had checked in an inn in that town. It was funny. You didn't know who would participate in the tournament. If you were lucky, you would run into a fighter. Zelda had that luck. Fox knew all the in's and out's, while she knew nothing. She could at least rely on the fox-like young man. "Do you know where he stays?" Fox nodded. "In the same inn where we stay. But I think you won't find him there. I know him a little and I think he is practicing. Though I don't know how. The inn-keeper said he and I were the first ones to check in." They approached the inn. "Do you know where he's practising?" Fox shook his head. "I think you'll see him when it's time for supper." Fox suddenly stopped and looked at Zelda. "And between brackets, he's your age..." Zelda suddenly stopped and looked at the Lylatan. Fox smiled.
