This next battle isn't really a battle, it's an INFINITE GLACIER MATCH. What is that, you ask? You'll have to read on to find out.
So, let's not waste time and just continue...
It was a cold, shivvery day at Infinite Glacer, snow pelting from the dimly-lit heavens, crisp wind stinging skin like a thousand pinpricks. Weather as usual.
An Arwing could be seen flying towards the bottom of the mountain, where a large crowd had gathered. Inside this Arwing was Fox...AND Samus! They didn't care that they were compeating, they were still in love. The Arwing landed, and Fox (being the natural gentlefox that he is) helped Samus out of the Arwing. They approached the starting line as the announcer's voice cut through the roar of the crowd:
"Ladies and Gentlemen! The following competition will be an INFINITE GLACIER MATCH, where the first compeditor to be caught a certain distance below their opponent will be eliminated. To add a compedative spirit (Fox snorted), we've added some Freezies for the opponents to hurl at each other, to slow them down. Contestants, ready"
"Three..."
"Good luck, Fox!"
"Two..."
"Good luck to you too, Samus."
"One..."
"See you at the top!"
"GO!!!"
"We'll just see about that!" And with that, the two of them were off, giggling. Because this was just a silly game they were playing. Just a game. Nothing at stake. Just climbing up a snow-covered mountain that seemed to stretch on forever...
Fox climbed. And climbed. And climbed. And as he climbed, he pondered to himself how Falco could possibly live through everything he had done to him. He had shot Falco into space, had shot him out of an Arwing, and shot him out of an X-Wing! Even after his most recent attempt, word had reached Fox that Falco had somehow survived. It wasn't fair. Three times in a row, Fox had won over Falco, but Falco just kept comming back and ruining his life. It wasn't fair.
Samus climbed. And climbed. And climbed. And as she climbed. she thought to herself about Fox. What a beautiful animal, with those adorable wiskers...so much better than that Captain Falcon freak. I mean, who would ever like him? He has a very high opinion of himself, and he's ugly. All talk, no action. Samus didn't know how ANYONE could possibly think that she and Falcon were seeing each other. She didn't know if she could make her and Fox's relationship much more obvious.
The two of them were preoccupied with these thoughts for about the first day or so, but then, the spirit of competition caught up with their silly playfulness. This was no longer a game. They had to keep up with each other's pace, as they scrambled up the ever-steepening slope. The cold made Fox forget all about Falco. Samus's suit had built-in heating, but either way, she'd never stop thinking about hating Falcon.
After day 2, they started throwing Freezies at each other in order to get enough of a lead to eliminate the other, but they just didn't stay frozen long enough for either one to capitalize on it. Samus, however, finally caught a lucky shot.
FREEEW!
Fox was immobile! Samus scrambled up at an alarming speed. She was going to do it, she was so close...
CRAAAAACK!
...And in no time, he had caught up with Samus. Finally, day 3 arrived, and they stopped climbing and layed down next to each other, winded. After a few hour's rest, they lept up and faced each other.
"There's really only one way to settle this, you know," Fox said. "Otherwise, this could go on for days."
"You're right," Samus agreed. "Let's battle."
They briefly shook hands, and then commenced their fight. Fox started out with a series of blaster-shots, but as he did that, Samus charged up her canon, and eventually fired it. Fox tried the Reflector, but didn't get it off soon enough, and was hit. He crashed into a wall of ice, which shattered behind him and sent him tumbling to the ground in pain. Samus cried out with glee and started to scramble up the mountain. She was about to get far enough ahead, but slipped! She fell on her back as Fox got back up with his Fire Fox, which also warmed him up a little. He used it again and again to compensate for the stinging cold against his fur. Samus capitalised on this by firing missiles at Fox. He took considerable damage from those, and then Samus charged forward in a flurry of bombs which also got Fox's % up. She had to remember not to eliminate him off the sides or top, though...that meant disqualification. So, Samus grabbed Fox with her Energy Beam and started to drag him downwards in an attempt to eliminat him. The scraping ice seemed to wake Fox up a little, and he fired his blaster at the energy beam. No good, it still held on. Fox then pulled out Falco's blaster, which he stole from him awhile ago at the Royal Rumble. THIS one worked, and cut the energy beam in half, which allowed Fox to scramble up aways and not get eliminated. He was then konked on the head with Samus's Canon. He fell, limp, and Samus continued to climb. Fox came to just before he was eliminated, and scrambled back up yet again. Discouraged, Samus went back down to try and weaken him some more. So, Samus then tried her Screw Attack. It worked, and Fox once again went down, but instead of climbing, Samus advanced on him. To her surprise, Fox rolled towards her and used the Reflector! She was shot back and smashed through a wall of rock, and fell down a considerable ways. Fox scrambled up past the mark and picked up the win!
He immediately hurried back down to check on Samus's condition. She would live, but was hurt bad, and since she had fallen on her heater, it had broken. Fox carried her back to his Arwing to loud applause, and they flew back into space together.
