3 CHAPTER SEVEN

A/N: Chapter 7 :) Sorry if you thought Chapter 6 sucked because there was no fighting, or it was too short…Well, hope you like this chapter, there's fighting so don't worry ^.~ …Aww, %$#@! I MADE PIKACHU FIGHT ZELDA INSTEAD OF KIRBY! I'm an idiot, idiot, idiot… *smashes head on screen about a thousand times* Oh well. Sorry, I'm too lazy to switch names in other chapters :P So, its Pikachu who won Kirby and Pikachu's match, instead of Kirby, okay? (I love Kirby, but I wanna kill Pikachu! ROAR! (The roar's an inside joke, heh heh…I say roar when I'm angry or don't give a damn about a porblem. ^^))

As It Stands:

SECOND ROUND

1st: Bowser vs Falco

2nd:Zelda vs Pikachu

3rd:Samus vs Captain Falcon

4th:Ness vs Roy

5th:Marth vs Jigglypuff

6th: Mario vs Mewtwo

All the fighters lined up again, like they had yesterday at the beginning of the tournament. Zelda was between Marth and Samus.

Samus whispered to Zelda, "YES! I can beat Captain Falcon as hard as I want now!" She did a little dance of excitement, she was so happy. Zelda giggled.

"As soon as I knock him out he'll leave me alone!" she whispered vehemently.

"But what if he comes back to watch you fight more? And what makes you so sure you'll beat him?"

Samus shrugged. "I'll say he can't see me. And I'm positive. I WON'T let him win!" Samus gritted her teeth—Zelda could tell because she could hear them grinding. Samus was nervous too.

Zelda glanced at Pikachu, on Roy's left. He looked positively cute—to a Pokemon and/or rat lover. Zelda narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist, an anger boiling up inside her. At the last tournament, there had been a free-for-all, but it was two Pichus and a Pikachu against her. (She was thankful there was only one Pikachu and one Pichu this year.) But instead of it being a free-for-all, they ganged up on her.

Zelda loathed that little rat, with the cute little scratch of his ear and the big shiny eyes and the little red, round cheeks…

Marth whispered in her ear, "Do you hate Pikachu that much?"

Zelda grinned sheepishly back at him, alarmed at her hatred and how he knew she hated Pikachu. "I guess. He ganged up on me last year."

"That little thing?" Marth looked over incredulously at Pikachu.

"Yeah. I can't wait to knock him out…I'm gonna beat him this year! I am!"

Marth smiled at her, taking her hand. "I believe that," he said, reassurance and slight amazement in his voice. "Pikachu didn't really train much since last year."

Zelda smiled at him; then they faced the crowd, still holding hands. Mr. Miyamoto had begun talking already.

"…And now, ladies and gentlemen, let Match One of Round Two BEGIIIIIIN!" Mr. Miyamoto roared. "Bowser and Falco, will you step to the transporters, please?"

Bowser stomped to his transporter and Falco tiptoed to the other. Zelda could see the major difference between Falco and Bowser; the size of Bowser was huge against Falco's, but since Falco was extremely quick and Bowser…wasn't, Zelda wasn't sure who'd win.

Falco made the first move. He used his extremely quick attack-move (y'know, the one he and Fox have) on Bowser, who, amazingly, dodged it. Then Falco grabbed Bowser and chucked hima s hard as he could—which made Bowser fly about one and a half inches. But Falco shot him with his laser gun, too.

Bowser roared. (Zelda snorted with amusement.) He stomped over to Falco and quickly grabbed him, then chomped him three times before smashing him in the ground and body-slamming him.

"That's gotta hurt," Samus whispered in Zelda's ear.

Falco jumped at Bowser and kicked him; Bowser flew a few feet back and rolled tot he edge of the island they were on. He rolled off but saved himself by grabbing on, then struggled to pull his weight back up.

Falco kicked Bowser's claws. One of them swung off and he swung back down, hanging on only by three claws. Bowser made a snarly sound and did his zoomy-twirling-shell thing back up and knocked Falco's head with his shell. Falco flew a bit back as Bowser regained his feet. Then Bowser stomped over to him, looking like a T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Falco aimed a punch at him, but Bowser jumped up and did his butt-slam on poor Falco.

The crowd screamed, watching the screen behind Zelda and the standing fighters. She realized she was still holding Marth's hand and quickly let go. Marth blushed too as he realized they still were.

The crowd feels like its screaming at me, Zelda thought, watching the crowd warily. It's kind of scary when you think about it… Zelda shrugged to herself, unable to watch the battle behind them, as the fighters had to stay in a line watching the crowd.

Falco flew back and hit his back against the high-wall of the cliff next to the island. He grabbed the edge and did a flip up onto the land. Bowser flew up, twirling, to the ledge and slashed at Falco with his claws. He got Falco's face, and this enraged Falco. His blue feathers were stained with blood from the cut. Falco started punching and shooting Bowser like crazy, and forced Bowser next tot he ledge.

But then Bowser pulled back a fist and nailed Falco with an almighty punch; Falco went flying the opposite way, the right, and fell down the waterfall.

Mr. Miyamoto declared, "AND BOWSER IS THE WIIIIINNNEEERRRRRRRRR! I wasn't expecting this, were you?" The crowd screamed with delight at the fight. Bowser did his cyute little roar (roar! yay!) and was teleported back. He gave a Bowser grin and stomped off, Bowser-like, to the lounge where the winners waited.

"I'm kind of surprised," Marth remarked.

"I am, too," Zelda responded. "I thought Falco'd win, for sure. I mean, he's fast, and he's strong, too."

"Bowser won because he's better," Samus remarked, over the cheering crowd. "And because—"

"--ZELDA AAAAAAAAND PIKACHUUUU! Those are our next fighters, folks! Will you please step up to the teleporters?"

Zelda grinned at Samus, Roy, and Marth; they flashed her thumbs-ups and encouraging words. She stepped up to her teleporter, and so did Pikachu.

She cast a glance at Pikachu. He scratched his ear and nibbled his toe. She curled her lip in a sneer and balled her fist, unable to keep in her hatred much longer.

"AND THEEEEEEEEEEY'RE OFFFF!" They were then teleported. Zelda squirmed at the feeling of the teleporting again; it felt nice, but also ticklish.

Zelda found herself in Dreamland, standing on the platform across from Pikachu. The wind was blowing fast, surprisingly, and kept brushing through her hair and blowing it into her eyes. She felt camera-shy (lol, thanks Tammy ^^;;; ) and wanted to hide from the screen, knowing Link and Marth were watching her, and she didn't want them to. This could be embarrassing, if she lost to a Pikachu!

Her eyes slid over to the camera. It was focusingf on Pikachu, who squealed and waved at the camera. Then it focused on Zelda. Zelda blinked, and looked away, embarrassed at the focus on her. Mr. Miyamoto was probably saying stuff to the crowd about them.

"THREE…TWO…ONE…GO!" came the shout.

Pikachu instantly flew at Zelda with his little rocket-power; Zelda, taken back, teleported over to where Pikachu had first appeared.

This is the same place that I lost to Pikachu last year… Zelda thought as she took on a stance to take Pikachu's blows.

Pikachu stood up and looked Zelda in the eye; she could see he was calculating her. So he has a brain, after all. He zoomed up at her with his Up B attack (lol) so he was right next to her; then he used his tail and tripped her up. She started to fall, and he aimed his tail at her head, but she dodged and grabbed his tail with her mind as she regained her feet. She threw him to the left as hard as she could, then sent a little bomb after him. He dodged the bomb and grabbed onto the edge, rolling up back to safety. He jumped on top of the yellow blocks and peered at her again.

This is going to be harder than I thought…
