Melee Civil War
Chapter 7 – Lessons Learned
By Pelican (Pelican_13@Yahoo.com)
Zelda, Samus, Donkey Kong, and Ness were teleported back to the white room in the melee complex. Ness just fell back down on his teleporter disc while Zelda, Samus, and DK stepped off.
"He was cheating that whole time," Zelda reported.
"Yeah," Samus agreed, "this was supposed to be a no-items match."
"Oh, please," someone in a corner said. The victorious team looked over towards the entrance to see Captain Falcon, "it was against a kid."
"He had a metal bat!" DK replied.
"And a bob-omb," Samus added.
"And a cloaking device," Zelda finished.
The man in the white lab coat walked over to the disc Ness was lying on while Captain Falcon kept arguing with the team that had just won.
"Of course I couldn't see him! I wasn't expecting that I couldn't see him because it was a no-items match!"
The man carried Ness on his shoulder to the other side of the room and laid him against the wall of fallen egos. He rested Ness back against the wall and let him sloop down like the other superstars that had lost from the past five matches.
Ganondorf hadn't had the longest time to recover from his match but he arose to his feet first. He glared over at Captain Falcon, who was still busy debating basically nothing with Zelda and Samus. DK appeared to have left the room. Ganondorf walked up to the console facing the discs and got down on one knee. He gripped the metal from the sides and powerfully pulled it off the floor. Metal nuts and screws broke under the pressure he was applying and he jerked the entire console over his head, nearly touching the ceiling.
"We won our match with no problem, and he wasn't a kid, and he also used weapons!" Captain Falcon continued to argue.
Ganondorf took a few steps closer to the verbal fray, and with all his remaining upper body power threw the entire console straight towards Captain Falcon.
"Show me your," Captain Falcon was interrupted by the mass of flying metal. He slammed into the wall near the automatic door and fell to the floor, along with the console with an imprint of Falcon's body in the metal.
"Ouch," Samus said to herself shaking her head. She left the room followed by Zelda.
"By the gods, he was annoying," Ganondorf said as he also left through the automatic doors. Soon after he left the doors reopened and the avian member of the Star Fox team, Falco Lombardi, entered. He stopped abruptly to survey the damage left by the king of the gerudos, Ganondorf. He took a step closer and bent down to check Falcon's pulse. After assuring he was still alive, Falco walked over to the wall of the fallen. He approached the leader of his team, Fox McCloud.
Fox looked up at the member of his team and fellow fighter and then slumped his head back down to a less than noble stance.
"Fox," Falco said extending his good wing, offering assistance to his comrade.
Fox glanced up and saw Falco's offer to help. He took hold of Falco's wing and was pulled to his feet.
Fox looked into Falco's eyes, then look down at the floor and put his hands in his pockets.
"Falco, I'm…," Fox started, "I'm sorry…"
After a moment of awkward silence Falco placed his good wing on Fox's shoulder, "It's okay, Fox. Apology accepted."
Fox looked back up at Falco and smiled, "Thanks, Falco."
"Now what do you say we get out of this hell-stricken room?" Falco asked, removing his wing.
"Sounds good to me," Fox answered. He followed Falco out of the wrecked room.
Link, still sitting against the wall recovering from his lost battle, turned to Luigi.
"You know, I don't think I'll ever understand women."
"What does-a Pichu have that I don't?"
"Maybe it was because you took her seat on the couch, these are volatile times."
"Hopefully not-a so much anymore."
"You know what the best thing is?" Link asked, "Without the transporter stuff we can rest and relax without worrying about more matches."
"Yeah that's-a good," Luigi replied, "but on the records it will show that we lost to a tiny mouse."

Author's Notes:
Sorry if I made one of your favorite characters an antagonist, I kind of hate myself for making Fox a jerk, but I hope the ending made up for that. Doctor Mario is Mario, I know some fictions have them as two separate characters, but I find that stupid. One person cannot be in two different places at the same time. Young Link is Link, same case. Aside from a small mention in chapter three, I was unable to find a place for Mr. Game and Watch, sorry. Hope you all enjoyed my fan fic.
