DK was hungry... No forget that, starving could be the term used. It had been hours since the hands (unbeknownst to DK) had cast a sleep spell on him. He stepped down from the seats onto the platform.

Meanwhile, Bowser was just getting out of his seat. He hated doing this. He hated it with every gut and bone in his giant body. He hated it, because it made Giga Bowser, the Triple Trouble Team leader, very happy. He had a reason to hate Giga Bowser to, because he knew something about him that the others didn't...

"Boo!!!! Bowser!" Mario yelled.

"Go Bowser!" Link cheered, somewhat exhaustedly.

"Link, go to sleep will ya?" Zelda asked.

"No, I'm... not... Ti... Ard..." Link murmured as he fell asleep.

Zelda had heard Link complaining about his left shoulder, but never had actually taken a look. She looked at the shoulder area (of his tunic) and gasped. The shoulder area was extremely bloody, then she pulled the part back...

Link's shoulder was badly bleeding plus he looked as if it had been broken too.

"Mama mia!" Mario cried when he seen this, immediately handing Zelda some bandages.

Luigi awakened to a painful headache, backache and incredibly blurry vision. He also thought he could hear someone calling his name...
"Oh, well," He thought as he fell back asleep.

"Ya know, most of you ain't been half bad," Giga commented. "It's really interesting to see all of you fight, kinda fun too. But now it's time for me to bid farewell to another fighter after I say BEGIN!!!"

Bowser and DK charged at each other, both demonstrating great ferocity. Donkey Kong was faster then Bowser and was able to aim a punch first. Bowser dodged and clawed at DK, this attack hit.

DK winced and staggered back a little. Bowser then tackled DK and stood on his feet.

He remembered how Mario had told him to be careful not to get pinned. Bowser's strongest (and by far most painful) attack was what he called "The Death Dive". Mario had told him how Bowser would stand on you, then he would jump very slightly into a dive and slam full force into you; a full force of five hundred pounds that is. Mario said it hurt like nothing else you could have ever felt before; it was that bad.

Bowser jumped off of Donkey Kong and into his dive. Without thought, DK rolled aside to avoid Bowser's dive. DK both saw and heard Bowser's sickening crash on the platform.

He heard the crowd gasp, the Triple Trouble Team included. He turned and saw Mario staring at him, jaw gaping like a fish; he then realized why. He had rolled away from Bowser in a fraction of a second's time.

Bowser was still on the floor, half stunned, half shaking, still fully awake though. DK raised his powerful as steel fist and drilled it into Bowser's head. Bowser let out a roar of pain shortly afterwards.

DK used his incredible strength to roll Bowser over onto his back, where DK then proceeded to punch and kick Bowser a multitude of times in his stomach, he wouldn't stop roughly hitting Bowser if there had been a bomb next to him (nor a banana)

"Luigi... Please wake up," Ganondorf pleaded.

Luigi opened his eyes to a smirk from Ganondorf, or the only way the king of evil knew how to smile. His head still atrociously pounding. His sound was now corrected and his vision was cleared.

"Mama mia!" Luigi said as he sat up dizzily.

"Are you OK Luigi? You look kinda hurt," Ganondorf commented.

"Oh, and I don't? I'm the one that was shot, used for fencing and judo practice," Falco remarked.

"Did I say that Falco?" Ganondorf replied.

"Well... No... But..." Falco started.

"Good, now shut up," Ganondorf finished.

Falco could be heard muttering something indistinct.

Bowser struggled... No, fought was the only word to describe how Bowser was resisting Donkey Kong's wild rampage. Bowser sat up and clawed DK to get the Kong off of him. Bowser then tackled DK again. Once more, Bowser stood on DK's feet.

"If this don't work now, I say the heck of it," Bowser thought as he stood on DK's feet.

Bowser jumped slightly and slammed down towards Donkey Kong's stomach with the full force of his quarter ton body.

DK's cry of pain resonated throughout the entire stadium. Bowser almost smiled at the suffering Donkey Kong, who was on his back gasping for air.

"D.. O... you... Think this is... Fun...ny?" DK weakly asked, a partial sadness in his voice.

"No, as a matter of fact, I think this, what I'm about to do, is fun," Bowser replied.

He then grabbed DK's head and pounded his own against it. The clash of the two gargantuan's skulls could be heard throughout the entire stadium.

DK fell back hard onto the cold floor of the platform clutching his head in agony.

"I had heard that you were good Bowser, but I had never known just how good you really are," DK commented seeming not fully awake.

"A lot of people are scared of me for a reason Donkey Kong," Bowser said. "Now you know why," He added as DK fell unconscious.

Crazy grabbed DK and dropped him to the floor below. Mario looked saddened because he knew what came next, the crash. Mario was correct. After the shock had passed, Mario thought about how Bowser had just smiled at the kong's suffering, it seemed so wrong, even for Bowser. But little did Mario know that Bowser had a very good reason for what he was doing...

"Ahem, I want to call up Captain Falcon and Zelda," Giga announced.
