When we last left Fox... Yadda Yadda Yadda. Too much to explain. Go back to Chapter 4 and read what ya missed yourself, buddy!

Ummm, And here we continue...

So now, the Alliance and Star Fox were battling as follows: Fox and Samus took on Link, Marth and Ness were nowhere to be seen, and the rest of Team Star Fox were pulverizing Yoshi!

Kirby, Mewtwo, Y. Link, Dr. Mario, and Peach were circle-beating poor Yoshi. He was only a ploy, he was stalling for time for Ness and Marth.

Ganondorf, however, was rushing towards Samus and Fox, who were battling side by side against Link. Ganondorf attacked Link with his Wizard's Foot, but it missed. Link used the hookshot to grab Ganondorf and hold him still as he beat him with his sword. Ganondorf broke away with rage, then swung his Gerudo Dragon fist at Link's head. It connected!

POUUF.

Link slumped to the ground, knocked out. Ganondorf was about to flip him off the edge of the ship when...

"PK FLASH!"

BOUUM.

Ganondorf was unfazed. He whirled in anger. This was the THIRD TIME he had been interrupted from finishing Link. That was the last straw.

"GUUUUUEEEEAAAAH!"

Ganondorf's hand shone, with the Triforce "logo" on it. Then, Ganondorf began to grow. And grow. And grow...

"He should consider anger management classes," said Ness to Fox, sounding quite casual.

"We'd better throw him over the side. Otherwise, he'll be to heavy and will drag the ship down. You get your 4 team members to gang up on him and throw him off. We won't interfere." (He muttered to himself, "How embarassing...")

With that, the four remaining team members grouped up and rushed the newly transformed Ganon. He started to tumble off the edge. But, he grabbed Link and dragged him with him. They fell to their eliminations.

Ganon could be heard screaming, "YES! YES! I'VE GOT HIM AT LAST! LINK IS MIN..."

Ness let out an angry cry, and rushed at Young Link. Young Link snatched him up and was about to throw him, and did. What did you expect? Anyway, Ness pulled something out of his backpack and started blasting. It was the twin blasters Falco had thrown up to him before the Great Fox crashed! Ness had stored them away for this purpose.

Meanwhile, Luigi took on Yoshi. Suddenly, an Arwing shot by, zapping Luigi and Yoshi, eliminating them both.

"TAKE THAT!" Yelled Sonic gleefully. Sonic had just eliminated the third last Alliance member!

"HEY!" Toad shrieked. "You hurt TWO of my friends!" He shot Sonic's Arwing, which crashed. Sonic was still able to save the Arwing (mostly) and land it beautifully.

A figure ran up to the Arwing and threw Sonic out. Falco took off in his Arwing.

"HAH! I'm back where I really belong!!! Die, Star Fox! Die!"

TSEWW! TSEWW!

Falco shot Young Link, who was flipped off the stage and eliminated. In his shooting frenzy he took out the Goodyear Blimp! The blimp slowly glided downwards, and NEARLY landed on the Alliance Ship. Instead of hitting it, it hit Doctor Mario, who tumbled akwardly to his elimiantion. Fox growled in rage.

"Yes! Yes! We can still win!!! And as for YOU morons..."

TSEWW! TSEWW!

He blew Samus away, eliminating her. And then he cackled like a maniac.

"You eliminated Samus?!? YOU (CENSORED) (CENSORED)ing (CENSORED)!"

Suddenly, two Arwings started shooting at Falco! Fox identified them as Slippy and...

Wolf. Wolf was shooting at Falco!

"YES! YES! KILL HIM! HE ELIMINATED SAMUS!"

Fox was so busy cheering that he barely noticed Peppy as he landed his Arwing right beside Fox.

"It's all yours, Fox."

Fox nodded. He hopped in the Arwing and took off. The three of them, Slippy, Wolf, and Fox, dashed after Falco.

"Not so fast, Fox..."

The Alliance ship zoomed up behind them. Out dashed C. Falcon! He pulled his B.B. gun and shot at Wolf's ship. It was already damaged considerably, so it went down.

"NO WAY! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!..." Wolf cried as the Arwing crashed and burned. Slippy did a pretty reversal and hit the Alliance ship, over and over, with charge shots and bombs. Finally, exhausted, the ship couldn't take it anymore. It caught fire. The battlers on board screamed, but Peppy was lucky enough to spot a Pokeball containing a squirtle. On release, the squirtle put out the raging flames, but not before C. Falcon had caught fire and fell to his (second) doom.

Falco circled around. "Just you and me, Fox..."

TSEWW! TSEWW!

Laser canons erupted. Amazing! The Great Fox had shot up from the ground, and hit Falco out of the air! Falco cried out one final time in despair as he soared upwards from the blast's force and was carried out of the planet's atmosphere, to float in space for awhile. However, I'll get to that story some other day.

Fox landed the Arwing to outstanding applause. However, the battle wasn't over, yet! Marth and Ness still remained. They stood at the other end of the ship, each armed with a specialized blaster.

Fox growled in anger. He would avenge Samus. He would...

Fox suddenly heard the sound of a propeller. He turned, and there was Samus! She was the one who was picked to return VIA flying platform, and she had a reset damage meter! Fox rushed over to greet her, never remembering himself feel so relieved, or happy, as he fell into her embrace. It looked quite akward, with all Samus's gear on, but was heartwarming all the same.

The two then turned to face Marth & Ness. Samus's expression was blank, since she had her visor down. Fox's expression was the same as when he confronted Andross to protect his father's name.

Marth and Ness both started blasting at Samus! Fox dashed in their way, using his reflector to protect Samus from the blasts. Samus, meanwhile, charged up her cannon. As soon as Marth and Ness stopped to reload (the only real downside of those weapons), Samus fired her shot at Ness. He thought fast and turned on his PSY-MAGNET and absorbed it as energy. Ness was now at 0%!

Mewtwo ran up to Marth and used his disable. Marth then did something totally unexpected. He pulled out a gun and shot Mewtwo with it! It had a dart filled with sirrum that would make Mewtwo Marth's "slave". Marth commanded Mewtwo's powers now!

Mewtwo dashed up to Samus and tried the Disable. Fox once again jumped in front, and got paralized. He could only watch in horror as the brainwashed Mewtwo, Marth and Ness teamed up on Samus, Peach, and Kirby, beating them down, piece by piece. Finally, Fox was able to move, but, although he could run mighty fast, he couldn't get to Samus fast enough to save her. She was knocked off and KO'ed for a second time. She would not return.

Fox was in shock, but somehow, was able to keep running. He grabbed Mewtwo and pounded on his head a few times. Mewtwo eventually came back into his right mind. Marth, unfortunately, capitalized on this delay and aimed the Sirrum Gun at Fox!

Suddenly, in ran Peach! She shoved Marth over, the gun fell from his grip, and soared off the edge. Marth cried out in alarm as Kirby ran up and nailed the Piledriver! Marth was knocked out, and was rolled out for a KO!

Only Ness was left. He glanced around at a smug Kirby, to a tired Peach, to a shaken Mewtwo, to a perfectly enraged Fox. Ness cut his losses and hopped off the ship, eliminating himself.

The announcer declared, "TEAM STAR FOX WINS!!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rumble has ended. Here are the FINAL standings:

TEAM STAR FOX

TEAM FALCON ALLIANCE





Kirby (Traitor)








TOTAL: 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEAM STAR FOX IS VICTORIOUS!

Therefore, all the battlers on Team Star Fox moved on to the S.S.B. Tournament of Champions. The Falcon Alliance members were all ejected from future Championship events that year. (You can check below for the full team listings.) Not only that, but Fox, Peach, Mewtwo, and Kirby each picked up $250 000 coinage each (of the prize million). Fox, Peppy, and Slippy had the Great Fox repaired. They paid for it with the money they got from Fox's prize money, plus selling Falcon's Ship (the Alliance Ship) for scrap metal, much to Falcon's Rage.
Peach had her castle renovated, as well as her bridge repaired. In renovations, she added some "special surprises" to her castle that would make the tournament "intresting". Future projects will tell more!
Kirby bought himself a summer getaway on Pop Star, which he visits every summer for some R and R.
Nobody knows exactly how Mewtwo spent his quarter million, but I might explain that in a future project, wink wink.
The tournament, however, was only in three months! The winning side had to practice hard to get ready for the qualifying matches...
THE END
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm now working on a new set of projects, which include:
- The tournament qualifying matches (This was SUPPOSED to be a surprise. Long story.)
- The tournament itself.
- The adventures of Falco.
- Plus other inter-tournaments, such as championships, special guests, and more.
- What Mewtwo did with his money, as a fun side-story. (Or maybe a world dominant side story. We'll see.) Mail me at FoxillusionsFanfics@hotmail.com or review, and you can help me decide the plot of my NEXT story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of myself I'd like to thank you all for comming out for my first series, and of course for voting. You've all been awsome! See you in the Tournament of Champs!
