Chapter 12: Fox vs. Crash Bandicoot
Fox jumped on the stage and awaited his opponent. Despite the young man's experience, he was pretty nervous, for it was his first fight. He had heard that Link and Zelda had won their first match and he was happy for them. He had heard his opponent was called Crash Bandicoot or something like that. Crash was late, so Fox played a bit with his gun, twirled it around his finger as he looked around. He saw Slippy waving at him and also some members of the Kong-family were present as well as some friends of Zelda. Fox presumed they were Zelda's friends, since they looked like her. All pointed ears and stuff like that. There was also one Human male who Fox didn't recognise, but he apeared odd, because of his strange looks. He wore glasses and his dark-blond hair was uncombed. He wore a suit as well as the men around him. He laughed strangely at the remarks made by his compagnions. He heard the men calling the odd appearance Bill. This Bill- character felt strange to Fox. It felt like... he didn't belong there, on the stands of the Smash Bros Tournament. Fox heard the men talking about 'boxes' and 'windows', though he didn't really know what those things had to do with the tournament. Then, his opponent jumped on the stage. He resembled a fox from Earth, just like Fox did. But Crash looked a bit like a loon. There was something in his eyes that apeared just plain dumb. There was no other word Fox could find for it at that time. Crash waved at Bill and yelled: "I'll prove to be worthy of being your mascotte, mister G!" Bill just grinned. Fox sighed as he put his blaster away. "All these morons in this wonderfull tournament..." he murmered. "Oh, well. It's a nice practice." The narrator stood next to the platform. "Ready?" Fox and Crash nodded. "Three... Two... One... GO!!" Without a second thought, Crash raced towards Fox in an attempt to ram him with a strange looking spinning move in which Crash's body spinned around like a whirlwind. Fox jumped up, made a few flips and landed behind Crash. Crash stopped spinning and turned around to Fox. "Hey, that's not fair!" Crash put his hand in his fur and pulled out an apple. Fox tilted his eyebrow. With all the strength he could muster, Crash threw the apple at Fox. Fox remained calm and right before the apple would hit him, he pressed a little button on his belt. Suddenly, a blue shield was formed around the Lylatan. As soon as the apple hit the shield, it shot back at Crash, with increased speed and power. It hit Bill's mascotte right in the face and he stumbled backwards, dazed. Fox waited patiently for Crash to regain his senses. He sighed. His first opponent was nothing more than a moving practice-dummy. Crash slowly walked towards Fox, trying to impress him. "Now you've made me mad!" he said, threatening. "And then what? You're going to throw more apples at me?" Fox brightly commented. Crash ran towards Fox and francticly punched in his direction. Fox simply evaded by sidestepping and as soon as Crash ran past him, Fox kicked him hard on his back. Crash fell down and shoved over the stage before stopping right before the edge of the platform. Fox walked towards Crash as he stood up. Crash kicked at Fox, but Fox just grabbed Crash's leg and threw it up in the air. The movement made Crash fall on his back. Fox again waited patiently for Crash to get up. "Finish him, Fox!" Falco yelled to the squadronleader. Crash stood up and yelled: "You can't beat me! I'm the mighty Crash Bandicoot!" Fox turned to Falco. "I guess you're right this time, Falco." Then, Fox felt a punch in his stomach. He stumbled backwards. He felt another punch on his head as he stumbled back further. "Hah! Did you see that? I'm invinsible!" Crash yelled. Then, something snapped inside Fox's head. Crash's arrogance was beginning to irritate the Lylatan. Crash again punched in Fox's direction, but Fox grabbed his arm, pulled it along his chest, so that Crash was pulled towards him. While doing that, he made a slight jump in the air and turned his body around a bit and his feet at the height of Crash's head. With both feet combined in a powerfull kick, he struck Crash on the side of his head. As Fox descended back to the floor, he let go of Crash and used his arms to break his fall. Crash was dazed by the attack and stumbled to the edge of the platform. Right when he stepped of the platform, he awakened enough to grab the edge. And now, he hung there, harmless. Fox walked to the edge and kneeled next to Crash as he looked at him. "That's not fair, man! I command you to pull me up!" Crash cried. Fox slowly pulled out his blaster and he put the end of the weapon on Crash's forehead. Crash looked at Fox with a mingling of fear and anger. "You can't do this to the great Crash Bandicoot!" Fox sighed. "You know what you are, Crash?" Fox held the answer for a moment. "Truly pathetic." He pulled the trigger and a red glow could be seen and a blasting sound could be heard for a brief moment. Crash yelled as he fell with his back on the ground next to the platform, smoke rising from his forehead as Fox's hand moved back as a reaction to the weapon's recoil. Fox twirled his blaster and put it back. The narrator yelled: "And the winner is... FOX!!" Fox modestly accepted the applause and the cheers. Crash was really the easiest enemy he had ever had.
