Super Smash Bros. Annihilation:
Chapter 3: Swordsmen unite!
Omega Zero and Forte walked into the stadiums plaza and were amazed at the sight. Stretched out before them were booths of all kinds set up, some food, others souvenir shops, and others set up for various clubs and services. There were also many people crowded in the area.
Forte: (whistles) Damn they work fast.
Omega: (shakes his head) and to think, yesterday there was only a hot dog stand.
They look around and notice a large group of people gathered around a particular booth.
Forte: (points at it) let's check it out.
As they approach the group we see Alucard sitting behind a booth selling tickets of some kind.
Omega: What the hell are you doing?
Alucard: (looks at them) I'm taking peoples bets on who will win the fights. (Looks back at the crowd) Who wishes to bet on Marth?
People storm forward knocking both Forte and Omega out of the way.
Omega: (picks himself up) You'd think I'd get more respect for hosting the tournament.
Forte: Don't sweat it; they're just excited about the fights. (Thinks a moment) Do you know where Zero is? (smiles evilly) he owes me money for that last fight.
Omega: Last time I saw him he was setting up a swordsman club with Link, Marth, and Roy. Try that way (points straight ahead)
Forte: thanks! (Leaves)
Omega starts to head towards the stadium when a thought hits him.
Omega: Where the hell is Azreal? (Shudders) I better find him before he causes trouble. (Also leaves)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Marth: Roy! Put that sword down and help us!!!
On the other side of the stadium's plaza we see Marth, Link, and Zero setting up a booth while Roy was off to the side performing sword tricks for a group of women. Roy gives a sigh and turns toward the women.
Roy: (smiles) Sorry ladies, I'll finish this demonstration later.
Roy turns around and heads toward the group, seeing them carry in boxes of swords. Marth is glaring at him.
Roy: (with an innocent look) What?
Marth: (shakes his head) don't even get me started . . . Link! You done with the sign yet?
Link: Sure did. (Points at the sign over the booth saying "Swordsman Club, members wanted")
Marth: Great! Now to finish setting up before the fights begin.
Just then Forte approaches the group and smiles wickedly.
Zero: (with anime Sweat drop) crap.
Forte: Hey everybody!! Great day isn't it! (looks at Zero) Ahem . . . (holds out his hand) pay up.
Zero grumbles as he hands Forte 4 $100 dollar bills.
Forte: Great doing business with you. (Looks at Marth) Your fights about to begin, I suggest you hurry. (leaves)
Marth: Well, I guess I better get going. Roy! Take care of the booth!
Roy: What!? Why me!?
Marth: (smiles) because, you failed to help out earlier. (Turns toward Link and Zero) Come on guys, let's go!
They start to walk off toward the stadium, leaving a grumbling Roy behind.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The beginning of day two and if anything, the stadium is even more filled then before. The stadium was full of tension as the people waited for the fights to begin.
Forte: (over loud speakers) Is everyone ready!!!
There is a collective cheer from the audience, the loudest coming from Vasilis and his group of space pirates and from the Final Fantasy characters sitting near them.
Forte: Before we begin the fight, here is Omega with a few announcements . . .
The stadium is quiet for a second as Omega gets on the mike.
Omega: thanks Forte, first off I would like to thank the people who reviewed the fights, Vasilis, SmokeRulz, phoodooman, kittyX-chan, and Gibson. I appreciate your appreciation and comments. My next announcement is that I would like for reviewers to pick who they are cheering for, your opinion will be expressed in later fights. My last announcement is this, if you wish to see the winner's comments on the fights, read Zero Hour where I interview them. Now without further ado, let the fights begin!!!!
With that the floor of the stadium opens up to reveal the newest arena. This one was basically flat with a few platforms. It looked like a medieval courtyard and off to the side was a small tower with archers.
Forte: (back on the speaker) Behold one and all . . . Hyrule Castle Courtyard!!!! Now to welcome the fighters!!! From a land far from here, an expert swordsman and all round hero, please welcome . . . Marth!!!
Marth comes out from one side of the stadium and starts waving at the crowd. He enters the arena and starts twirling his sword around and showing off his skill. Both Link and Zero, who were close by the entrance Marth came out, shook their heads.
Zero: Show off.
Forte: And in this corner, all the way from the jungle to deal out pain and suffering to his opponents, definatly not someone to underestimate, please welcome . . . Donkey Kong!!!
From the other side of the arena, the large ape comes out. Upon entering the arena he starts posing and showing off his muscles. Marth is rolling his eyes at the scene.
Forte: If everyone's ready, let the fights begin!!!!!
With that D.K. charges at Marth with all his speed. Marth, taken aback, barely rolls out of the way of the ape. Marth tries to slash at him when he comes out of the roll but hits only air. D.K. turns around and starts to charge at Marth again, and yet again Marth dodges. Marth looks up and notices that D.K. is going to try ramming him again. Marth smiles as he prepares to dodge again.
Marth: stupid ape.
However, as Marth prepares to dodge again, D.K. turns directions and launches his fist at where Marth was dodging to. Marth, taken aback, was unprepared as D.K.'s fist hit him and knocked him into the tower.
Forte: that's got to hurt.
D.K.: (smirks) who stupid now?
Marth, a little shakily, gets back to his feet with an enraged look on his face.
Marth: that's it.
He then launches himself at D.K., his sword drawn. He slashes at D.K., who despite dodging most of them, was taking quite a beating. Just when Marth was about to do a devastating side slash to D.K., an arrow came out of no where and landed between the fighters. Stunned, they both looked up at the tower where it was shot from and saw about 10 archers's aimed at them. At that moment they fired the volley at the fighters, who dodged them with the best of their abilities. However, as D.K. dodged one he slipped and fell. Seeing his opponent's dilemma, Marth charged at him hoping to use it to his advantage. He raised his sword high and prepared to slice down at the ape. Looking over D.K. raised his hands and . . . caught the sword before it could slice him. A stunned Marth tried to free the sword, but he could not overpower the ape.
Marth: oh crap.
D.K. then smirks as he starts to stand and raise his hands higher. As he raises the sword, Marth is lifted off the ground as well, due to the fact that he refused to leave his sword. From the crowd came shouts at the swordsman.
Zero: It isn't worth it!!!!
Link: let go!!!!!
Marth looks over at his friends with a shocked look.
Marth: Not even if my life depended on it!!!
D.K. smirks as he starts running forward with all his might toward the tower. Everyone can see what he was prepared to do.
Forte: (grimaces) this is going to leave a mark.
He rams into the tower with Marth and breaks through it. Dust goes over the area as the audience waits to see what would happen. From the dust came a smiling D.K. who was dusting off his hands. Behind him we see Marth come out, really beat up and dragging his sword behind him.
Marth: that hurt.
With that he launches himself at D.K. and starts to slice away at him again. This time around D.K., though blocking most of the attacks, was being inched backward and ever closer to the edge. D.K., seeing this, tries to strike back but is constantly countered by the swordsman. As D.K. reaches the edge, Marth raises his sword high in the air again, but yet again the sword is caught by D.K. At this point however it appeared the only thing keeping D.K. from falling out of the arena was his hold on the sword. Marth smirked at that moment, scaring D.K. and making him fear what was going to happen. Marth then turns his gaze at Zero and Link and smiles.
Marth: your right, I don't need it.
With that said he let go of the sword, taking D.K. completely by surprise and making him fall out of the ring. As D.K. hit the ground the entire audience went up in cheers.
Forte: D.K'S OUT!!!!! MARTH WINS!!!!!!
Marth jumps down out of the arena and goes over to D.K., who is still on the ground, and offers him a hand up. D.K. takes it and stands up.
D.K.: (smiles) good fight! (Hands Marth his sword) We fight again soon!
With that they shake hands before departing from each other. Marth walks over to Link and Zero who start to congratulate him.
Link: you had me worried for a second.
Marth: Believe me, I was worried too. Now let's go find Roy so I can start bragging.
With that done, the three turned around and walked off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Azreal was snickering to himself as he waited for his plan to unfold.
Azreal: there's no way Omega can stop this!
?????: Stop what?
Azreal turned completely white as he turned around. He saw an angry looking Omega glaring at him.
Azreal: umm . . . hi Omega, what's new?
Omega: What have you done this time?
Azreal: you remember Samus, right?
Omega glares at Azreal even more.
Omega: what did you do?
Azreal: (almost whispering) I kind of told her that Vasilis and his space pirates were here.
Omega: YOU WHAT!? We got to stop her before they kill each other!!!
Omega rushes out, pulling Azreal along, to the stands where Vasilis and his crew were sitting. However in stead of complete and utter chaos, he found Vasilis and Samus shaking hands and signing a document. Omega runs over there in shock.
Omega: can I ask why you're not killing each other?
Vasilis: We've signed a treaty; while we're here we won't fight.
Samus: besides, I don't need extra distractions.
Omega smiles and looks at Azreal.
Omega: well, it looks like one of your pranks actually worked out.
Azreal: uh . . . yea . . . I planed that the whole time!!!
Omega: (shakes his head) yea right. Anyway, we better get the next fight going. See ya Vasilis!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The arena floor opened up to reveal the ruins of a castle surrounded by pits of lava. The heat given off by this new arena was so great that even those in the stands felt it.
Forte: And the arena for this fight is Bowser's pits! Its heat is so great that even just staying in the arena is dangerous! I pity the fighters who dare enter it. Our first fighter today is the scourge of the mushroom kingdom, arch nemesis of a plumber, and seems to have an unfair advantage here. Please welcome . . . Bowser!
The Koopa king enters the arena and starts to laugh at the sight.
Bowser: I guarantee this will be the shortest fight on record!
Forte: Now our next fighter is . . .
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Zelda: Link, please be careful.
Link: Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Link, Marth, and Zelda were at the entrance to the arena waiting for Link to be called out. Marth and Zelda were both nervous while Link was unnaturally calm.
Link: (smiles) don't worry, I'm prepared, that oversized turtle won't know what hit him.
Marth: (looks at the arena) I hope you know what you're doing.
Just then they could hear Forte on the speakers.
Forte: Please welcome . . . Link!!!
Link: well, that's my queue. Wish me luck.
He starts to walk out but is stopped by Zelda, who gives Link a kiss on the cheek, turning his face a little red.
Zelda: Good luck.
Zelda steps away and Link walks by her.
Link: (thinking to himself) at least this should be interesting.
To be continued . . .

Next episode: It's Link vs. Bowser. Does Link stand a chance in Bowser's home turf? Also the fight between Kirby and Gannondorf. Till then, see ya!
