Author's Note: This is being done in Point-of-View format and everyone talks in plain english. ^_^ Don't worry, it's good! Enjoy!

Also, clones such as Young Link and Doctor Mario live in alternate realities parallel to Link and Mario, while seperate people like Fox and Falco live in the same realities as each other, kay? ^_^ It's easier for me to write it that way.

~~~Mario~~~


I saw them all again. Link...Samus....Ness.... and all the others....all of those fellow heroes that I seemed to be the leader of. Now, I long ago accepted the fact that I was a plumber from Brookyln who on occasion, went to the Mushroom Kingdom and rescued a beautiful Princess named Peach from an overgrown turtle named Bowser.

I did, I really did accept that fact.

This however, is just a little too odd for me.

All of us are back again, along with a few new faces, and again, I seem to be the leader in all this.

And to think that I, Mario Mario(don't ask about the double name. Long story.), would be the leader of a rag-tag group of people from all over this so-called "Nintendo" world.

The first time this happened was a little over a year go. I remember that I was about to save the Princess (yet again) then all the sudden, everything went blank, I felt stiff, and next thing I know, a giant gloved hand carried me out of this toy box and set me on a table to fight against who I've come to know as "Fox". All feeling came back to me, and for some reason, my abilities were enhanced. I could now do a Mario Tornado, as well as my trademark Jump attack. However, I was shocked a bit when I was able to throw fire balls without my special fire suit.

Then again, it's a bit shocking for most people to actually handle the fact that I can shoot fire balls from my hands when I have that special suit on.

Heck, it was a bit of a shock to me as well at first.

But anyways, where was I? Oh yes, back to the story.

Anyways, it seems that instead of all of us being living dolls, we've all been turned into living trophies, with short descriptions of what we've done in our...well...."careers". One trophy of mine mentioned something about me being called "Mr. Nintendo". Alrighty then.

When all of us where brought back to life from our Trophy state, we were surrounded by hundreds of other trophies. I guess this new...gloved hand thing...managed to not just bring us, but all the others like "Mewtwo", "Ganondorf", and my over grown turtle nemesis Bowser. It was eerie how he stared at me, almost as if he..I mean, the trophy, was alive and brought to this...tournament (I guess that's proper way to describe it)....only to destroy me and finally get the Princess. Of course not though...I mean, I didn't see Bowser anywhere around here...and it's just a trophy. I'm guessing this gloved hand is a collector of some sort.

Did I mention that Princess Peach was brought over here? I guess now she believes Luigi and me about our "crazy story involving giant gloved hands, a Fox, a teenager in fairy clothes, a psychic boy, and other odd looking critters" now. That reminds me....where did Luigi go? And that pink fluffball "Jigglypuff" seems no where in sight, althought I did see both of their respective trophies around here...


~~~Link~~~


Not this again. No no no.

This dark magic of this "gloved fiend" is far different then Ganondorf's....but how? Ganondorf is the so-called "King of Darkness" or something like that. Shouldn't he be the most powerful dark lord in the land? The one I'm destined to destroy, therefore ridding the land of Hyrule from darkness such as his ever again...

O' holy godesses, this is not good. I was in the middle of my quest to save Princess Zelda from the clutches of Ganondorf after he descovered Shiek was Zelda....

Although....I don't think that's a big problem at the moment seeing as how the Princess managed to come along with me to this place. How, I don't know. Why, I don't know.

All I do know is that there's no sign of Ganondorf...but then again, we're not exactly in Hyrule anymore.

Sigh. At least the Princess is safe, but I wonder what is happening in Hyrule right now....where Navi is....and I wonder where that evil fiend Ganondorf is...

I pray that he is not in Hyrule causing more mayhem...mayhem that I can't stop seeing as how I'm stuck in this place again....

At least he won't be able to use the full power of the Triforce since the Princess and I hold the two other pieces in our souls.

So I should be able to rest easy until this whole tournament is done and over with.


~~~Young Link~~~


I think I should stay away from that grumpy guy over there next to that tall princess girl person. He looks like me except all grumpy and tired. Mmm, I wonder why that tall girl looks like Princess Zelda except all grown up. She looks awfully pretty like the Princess I know.

I hope Tatl is okay. I wonder where she is right now. The last thing I remember happening was that I was helping Kafei catch that thief who stole his Sun Mask, and then poof....I'm here, with all those weird looking people and a big version of me.

That sword of his looks so much better then my Kokiri sword. Maybe I should ask him where I can get myself one of those, specially since those Razor sword enhancements to my Kokiri sword doesn't last very long.

I know! Maybe I can cheer up that grumpy Link by playing some music. If he's anything like me, he'll like the songs I will play on my trusty Ocarina. Or maybe he'd like some nice Lon Lon Milk?

All these people look so weird. One of them is wearing blue overalls and a red cap, while one of them is a big monkey that grunts too much, a fox that can talk, and so many others. Maybe I should go talk to that boy who looks like he's around my age. He may look a little funny, but I'm sure he's nice. I wonder why he carries around a wooden club with him though. Swords are so much better afterall.


~~~Ness~~~


Darn, I still can't do PSI Rockin Omega again!

All I can is PK Fire, PK Thunder, PSI Shield, and PK Flash....

I miss PSI Rockin Omega...

I wonder why I was brought here by this mysterious gloved hand...why I lost some of my abilities and recieved....Paula's instead.

I miss PSI Rockin Omega....

I still have my trusty baseball bat and yo-yo...but...

I miss PSI Rockin Omega...

I wonder what these giant trophies of Paula, Jeff, and Poo are doing here. Mmm...those trophies of that Starman and Mr. Saturn were kinda odd.

Speaking of which, I wonder why Mr. Saturn was brought here. Well, at least now I'm not alone in this battle like last time....err...I guess, hehe..

It's weird...I still don't feel like I have the whole power of the Earth with me...well, I have some of it...but not like what I felt when the Earth gave me all the power it could spare so I could fight Gigyas...but at least I still have most of my psychic abilities intact. I should be thankful for that....

I hope Paula, Jeff, and Poo are doing okay....I supposedly haven't seen them in "so long"...that gloved hand hasn't let me leave to my world like with the others I think. It's been like...a year now I think...at least, that's what I learned from Mr. Mario. After Mr. Mario and everyone defeated the gloved hand that called itself the "Master Hand", all of us except myself were returned to our seperate realities. I've been stuck here for awhile I guess without knowing...because for everyone else it's been a year since the first "tournament" but for me...it's only been a day...

....I don't really miss PSI Rockin Omega all that much now.......I miss home...Onett...Paula...Jeff...Poo....mom....dad.....sis.....


~~~Ice Climbers~~~


Nana and I are actually part of a group of heroes from this "Nintendo" world.

Hehe...cool!

Hehe, and I thought Nana and myself were just hyper happy ice climbers who collected various vegetables and fought a rather spooky condor that seemed to dominate various icy cliffs. Hehehe!!

Nana was just as surprised as I was when that guy in overalls and an italian accent said we were among various heroes we had never heard about before!

Not that it mattered though, of course! We're both very happy and surprised and hehe, I feel like doing the victory dance that Nana and I seem to do a lot!

Hehe! It was a surprise to be able to shoot Ice out of our hammers and it was soo cool to shoot icy wind right out of our hands! Hehe!

This "tournament" sounds like fun, hehe, me and Nana are ready!


~~~End of Chapter One~~~


Chapter Two will come out as soon as I'm done with other projects. It'll have more character POVs, such as Peach and Kirby! ^_^
