Just when you thought this story couldn't get any more ridiculous. Sorry it
took so long. It was what, a month? I'm glad all my "adoring" fans liked
chapter two. Please e-mail me or write in the review section tips for
improving my writing, or suggestions for this story. Oh, by the way, this
is the chapter where you find out the name of the "mystery fighter."
(Jacoman52 waits for all the ooh's and aah's. When he hears a cricket
chirp, he continues.) Ahem. Yes, well, we must go on with the show. Without
anymore hesitation, I present you with.

Chapter 3- The Forgotten
-SSB Main Building- Training Room
"I just don't know what her problem is," said our anonymous hero. He was clutching a note from Samus that he had found under his apartment door. He had gone to his room after a quick battle with Bowser, and when he found the letter he quickly called Link. Now they were sitting in the training room discussing whether or not to battle her again. "She wants to battle me alone. I don't know what she's lgoing to try." "She's probably just curious at this point. She wants to see you in action again," replied Link. "Link, you've been so helpful to me," said his friend, "I just know I made the right decision to take you when I leave. I've wanted Samus for the team the whole time, so I guess this is my opportunity to see if she's right for the job. I would like to practice, though." "We both know you don't need practice, but I would be glad to battle you." "Well, let's go then."
-Hyrule Temple
As that familiar Zelda music played in the background two glowing platforms appeared at either end of the gigantic temple. They disappeared and the two friends fell to the ground. Link rushed at his opponent, sword ready. At the last minute, he leapt into the air and attacked with a spinning slash. Link's adversary fell to the ground. "Didn't expect that," he said as he countered with a kick to the knees. Link blocked the kick and slashed low with his sword. Link retreated to the opposite end of the temple.
The other fighter who immediately stood up did not run after Link. Instead, he waited for an item to fall directly in front of him. It was a Bob-omb. He picked it up, and threw it straight up into the air. Link calmly waited for the Bob-omb to fall back down. No way would he be stupid enough to charge his opponent. Unfortunately, Link was indeed that stupid, and paid dearly for it. As the Bob-omb fell, Link's opponent did a flip just a few inches short of the ground. His heel connected with the orb and sent it hurtling towards Link. Link acted quickly and put his shield up. Even so, he was knocked back several feet from the blast. When he looked up, he saw a foot flying towards his face. Link went over the edge. When he tried his recovery move, his opponent was waiting for him. He grabbed Link and kicked him off. The match had lasted five minutes.
-SSB Main Building- Screen Room
"Bravo," said Zelda, "I want to commend you on an excellent battle." Zelda, Samus, and Mewtwo had been watching the fight in the screen room. "Zelda!" Link exclaimed, "What are you doing here?" "Watching you get your butt whooped," she replied. Link smiled. "That's better than I've ever done against him though," Link said. "He is good," Zelda admitted, "Who are you anyway? You look familiar." "I've been in a lot of old games. I'm sure you you've seen some of them." Zelda nodded. "Well anyway, we came here because Samus wanted to fight with you again." Samus took it from there. "I was amazed by your abilities," she said, "I wanted to see you in action again." "Alright," he replied with a shrug, "Where do you want to battle?" "I want to fight at Brinstar," she said. "Fine, let's go now," he said. They walked into the transport room.
-Planet Zebes- Brinstar
The glowing white platforms appeared in the arena and the contestants once again dropped to the floor. Samus hesitated before attacking, so her adversary began the fight with a powerful low kick. Samus quickly dodged, and swung her leg down in a powerful axe kick. Her opponent rolled away. He attempted to trip her, but she jumped over his leg. She flipped backwards, and he got up. Both fighters dropped down to the lower level. Samus saw a beam sword fall in front of her. She picked it up and activated it.
Samus' opponent rushed at her. He attacked her with a sliding kick. She jumped over him and threw the beam sword at him. He rolled out of the way, but the laser sword grazed his side. He immediately stood up and turned to face his adversary. As Samus hit the ground in front of him, he attacked her with a flying sidekick. She quickly ducked and turned around.
The rivals faced each other. "Who are you?" Samus asked, "How did you get such quick reflexes?" "Practice makes perfect," he said as he threw a powerful punch. "I'm serious!" She exclaimed while dodging his fist. "Fine," he said, "All you have to do is beat me in this fight, and I'll tell you everything." "Yeah, that went really well last time," Samus said. "I'll tell you what," he said, "I'm going to tell you my story, and I will keep talking until I beat you. Ready, go." He continued speaking as Samus dodged a series of kicks and punches.
"Like I told your friend Zelda, I was in a lot of old, forgotten games. My career really got started in Shining Force." "Yeah, Zelda really likes that game, but wasn't it on SEGA Genesis?" said Samus, who was nearly out of breath. "I'm not finished. I played as Luke. I loved that game because it was my first where I actually kept my real name." "So your name is Luke? At least I know your name now," said Samus. "You're going to hurt yourself if you keep talking instead of defending." Luke threw more powerful techniques now, with an equal amount of speed. "I learned strategy in that game. That was why after that most of the Shining Force was taken to an academy. They sought us out because they knew we would be excellent in combat situations. We learned martial arts, how to use hundreds of different weapons, and how to fly starships. It was a quantum leap from anything I was used to.
After our training, they placed us in the dimmest corner of the galaxy. We were to free a people from enslavement. The leaders of the academy didn't know this, but ironically, our enemies were the kingdom of Runefaust. We're fighting the bad guys from Shining Force. We attacked them several times. We lost every battle. The situation was hopeless, so I came here to get help."
Samus was completely worn out from defending herself. She was breathing harder and harder as Luke's attacks got more and more powerful. "Now," Luke said, "You get to see my special attack." He drew a small sword out of a sheath at his side, held it over his head, and attacked. There seemed to be three or four of him as he went first to the left of Samus, then circled back to the right. He attacked on each pass. After his fourth attack, Luke stopped and swung his sword in an upward motion. This sent Samus straight into the air. She flew out of bounds, and the match ended.
-SSB Main Building- Screen Room
Samus came into the screen room drained of energy. Her opponent Luke walked in after her. "I never knew you could do that," remarked Link, "I had seen the sword, but I never saw you use it before." Zelda popped in. "I knew you looked familiar! Do you know Tao?" (A/N: Tao is a red haired mage on Shining Force.) "Yes," replied Luke, "Tao is one of our strongest fighters against Runefaust." "What about." Before Zelda could finish, there was a deafening rumble.
The building shook, and Samus jumped. She was wide awake now. "What was that?" Samus asked Luke, "Was that an earthquake?" Luke's eyes were wide and his face was pale. "I don't think so," he said. He grabbed Samus' arm. "Come with me."

Wow, finally finished. Again, I'm sorry this took so long, but school got out today, so I should have a little more time this summer. Please take this poll:
Wow, you're such a great author Mr. Jacoman, sir. I wanna be just like you!
I enjoyed it better than Chapters 1& 2.
I liked it less than Chapters 1 & 2.
That totally sucked! Where do you get off calling yourself a writer?
Also, please give me suggestions to improve my writing. Thank you, have a nice day. [pic]
