The Master Hand's holding cell
---

"Mom!!!" Mr. Game and Watch tearfully cried as she lay there, a huge amount of blood from her heart.

"It's... Okay..." His mom gasped.

---

"Oh... My... God," Mr. Game and Watch groaned as he awakened, he hadn't had a headache this bad since that other guy had hit him over the head with a baseball bat, the same guy who'd murdered his mom.

"Hey are you all right Mr. Game and Watch sir?" Mario asked.
"You don't need to call me sir," Mr. Game and Watch responded, "I ain't done a thing worthy in my life,"

"What? Then why are you famous?" Mario asked.
"For the opposite reason,"
"Say what?" Mario questioned.
"I don't fit anywhere. I've attempted to be a chef, judge, firefighter, I suck, and I just don't fit. Mr. Game and Watch explained.
"Oh, sorry, I um... Well don't worry, you're still cool, you ain't joined the Triple Trouble Team yet," Mario said.

"Thanks," replied Mr. Game and Watch.

Empira, on planet Lavaka

"So you want to become a royal warrior, eh Roy?" Prince Marth asked hid best friend Roy.

"You bet!" Roy responded.

"Good, a positive attitude, coupled with some accurate sword fighting makes good warriors," Marth said. "Watch, take your stance. Then with your best hand, draw your sword. Now, we practice fighting,"

Roy nodded as he stepped into a stance and drew his sword.

"Hee-yah!" Marth yelled as he ran forward, swinging his sword.

Roy blocked it with his own, and desperately tried to overpower Marth's. Instead of that, the two swords separated. Roy lunged with full strength at Marth, who in turn blocked it with his own. He tried even harder to overpower Marth his time, but ended in the same result.

Marth swung his sword this time and Roy was unable to block. Roy let out a small yelp of pain and dropped his sword as the pain coursed up and down and back through his entire arm.

"You okay?" Marth asked.

"He... He... I think I'll live," Roy replied in a weak, but still humorous voice, then he passed out.

"Roy, Roy, get up, it ain't that bad, is it?" Marth asked the fallen Roy.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'll live... Hopefully," Roy muttered weakly as he awakened.

Roy tried to stand, but he could barely sit up for a second, so he fell down.

"Take it easy Roy, I'll go get help," Marth said.

"No, you won't," The hands said in unison.

"I can fight," Roy muttered.

"Are you nuts!" Marth exclaimed.

"Maybe I am, though I prefer almonds," Roy joked.

"Ah, you will fight with us, the Triple Trouble Team!" Crazy boasted.

"No, Roy?" Marth asked.

Roy nodded and yelled "Blazer!" at the same time, Marth yelled "Dolphin Slash!"

The two upper cutting blades slashed through the Master Hand and Crazy.

"Really, you think you could do better then that pathetic attack you-" Crazy started, but stopped as blades repeatedly began to slice him.

"That's it!!!" Yelled Crazy. He floated towards Marth and Roy, and flicked them both over.

A crunch was heard, followed by a scream of pain from Roy.

"Oh, god, must of broke my arm," Roy weakly commented, his eyes seeming to roll in the back of his head.

"Hey buddy, don't go to sleep on me 'right?" Marth asked. Roy didn't respond.

"God dang it you hands!!!" Marth yelled, rage present in both his voice and his look.

"Bah, you don't scare me," Crazy said, unfazed by Marth's words.

Crazy flicked Marth too. He hit his head on a rock. Everything seemed to be a whirl of shapes and colors, then, everything completely faded.

Master Hand's holding cell
---

Roy and Marth both hit the floor of the holding cell. Roy's broken left arm was oddly stuck out.

"Oh... God, who are these guys? Ten minutes ago it was Mr. Game and Watch, fifteen minutes before that Mewtwo had came, now these guys!!!" Mario exclaimed.

"Yeah, them guys look really, really beat up," Link observed.

Both awakened at the same time. Roy clutched his broken arm and let out a yelp of pain.

"Y'OK Roy?" Marth asked.

"Oh, yeah, Merry Christmas," Roy Joked "Good God no I'm not OK!"

"OK! Just checking," Marth said.

Mario crawled over to Roy, his broken nose still hurting.
"What happened to you?" Roy weakly asked.

"Nothing special kid, just lie still for a minute," Mario answered.

"You a doctor?" Roy asked.

"Yeah," Mario responded. "You'll be OK,"

"Excuse me each and every one of the 16 of you," Crazy said, clearing his throat.

"You are here to fight each other. You may ask why, this is why. An idiotic teenage warrior named Link beat this Master Hand. We are the almighty Triple Trouble Team, we can't lose to some kid. We want a challenger to fight us, but we can't decide who. So we dropped and added some fighters to the mixture of the sixteen of you. The one out of the sixteen will fight me, the Master Hand, and Giga Bowser, the universe's most powerful being," Crazy explained. "I'm sure you're all dying to find out who you'll be fighting this round, so I'll announce the match-ups.

Roy versus Ganondorf

Falco versus Marth

Mr. Game and Watch versus Yoshi

Link versus Luigi

Donkey Kong versus Bowser

Captain Falcon versus Zelda

Mewtwo versus Peach

And finally, Mario versus Fox

Now, I'm going to knock you out, the process will heal all your injuries so you can fight at your maximum level. Good night and good luck, you'll need it," Crazy finished, performing a healing variation of the sleep spell, the whole room was out cold in seconds.

"Come now, let's set up the arena above," Giga said "I want front row seats; this could be some serious fun,"
