Spectators were already gathering at the stands. Ganondorf, Zaxton, Bowser and Mewtwo made their way to the mach board. Zaxton read his first match would be against something called Raichu. He also read; Ganondorf vs. Mr. Game and Watch, Bowser vs. Jigglypuff and Mewtwo vs. Dr. Mario.

Although it wasn't time for their matches yet, they stayed by the arena to watch. The fist competitors walked up the stairs, and into the arena. A Toad walked in too, who seemed to be the announcer.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our fist match of the great Nintendo Tournament! This round will be, Deadly-Warrior, versus, Ness!"

Everyone cheered. Deadly-Warrior was a newcomer. He had twin Shenlong Blades sheathed on his back, with a protective mask covering his face. He also had gleaming armor.

The bell sounded, and the match began. The little boy, Ness, charged at the Warrior. Deadly-Warrior drew his swords, and jumped above the boy. Ness seemed a bit frustrated, so he tried again. Deadly spun his swords, and slashed Ness on the arm.

"Ahhhhh! You'll pay for that!" yelled Ness

Ness crouched down.

"PK Thunder!" he screamed as a ball of Lightning came out of him

The ball headed towards Deadly. He did a backflip, and dodged it. Ness was wide open for an attack. Deadly held out both his swords, and charged at him. They began to glow turquoise.

"Dark Fury!" screamed Deadly as he slashed Ness repeatedly with his swords

Ness was limp on the ground. Deadly grinned, and sheathed his swords again. He kicked Ness, and he fell out of the Arena.

"Winner!" the Toad yelled

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Zaxton had been watching that match very closely.

"He could be a powerful ally" said Ganondorf

"I know. We should talk to him later" replied Zaxton

Medic Toads brought Ness away, and Deadly walked off the stage. The Announcer Toad once again started blabbering away.

"Next round, Samus Aran, versus Pikachu!"

Samus and Pikachu stepped onto the stage, as Zaxton felt anger building in him, just seeing his enemy again. She didn't know that he was there, though. The match began as Samus charged her cannon. Pikachu was very fast, as he jumped up to Samus, zapped her, and managed to get back. Soon, Samus's cannon was fully charged.

She ran up to the yellow Pokemon, and grabbed it with her beam grapple. She whipped Pikachu behind her, but it got up quickly. Pikachu ran up to Samus and grabbed her. Surges of electricity jolted through Samus.

"Gahhh! Die you stupid mouse!"

Samus grabbed the Pokemon off her, and through it to the ground.

"Pika, Pika!"

Samus ran up to Pikachu and shot her charged blast at it. Pikachu went flying out of the stage.

Once again, Toad came running up and announces Samus as the Winner. Samus and Pikachu left the stage. Zaxton turned to Ganondorf.

"Go find that 'Deadly' person. We need all the allies we can get"

"Sure" said Ganondorf as he turned around

He melded with the crowd. The Toad held his Microphone up.

"Next round, Zaxton Marac, vs. Raichu!" Zaxton grinned and jumped onto the stage. He scanned for Samus, and saw her without her helmet on. She was stunned he was there.

"GO!" the Toad yelled

Zaxton eyed his enemy carfully. It looked like the thing Samus had fought a couple minutes ago, but bigger. Zaxton jumped in the air, and charged his cannon at the same time. The Raichu tried to jump and shock him, but it's efforts were in vain.

Zaxton made a good landing, and fired off a couple missiles. Raichu ran to the left and right dodging them, but after getting cocky, gets nailed by one. The anger built inside the Pokemon. It let out a fury of electrical attacks, a couple zapping Zaxton, but the rest just fizzling and sparking out.

Zaxton rolled into a Morph Ball, and tripped Raichu. He bounced up, and dropped a couple bombs on the downed Pokemon. It made a small impact. Zaxton unrolled himself, and punched Raichu in the stomach. Then he kicked him in the jaw, sending him staggering backwards.

Zaxton unleashed his charged cannon blast on Raichu. It impacted, and knocked Raichu over. It couldn't fight anymore. The Toad raised Zaxton's hand.

"WINNER!" he yelled

Zaxton stepped off the stage and over to his newfound friends. Deadly was waiting there too.

"Deadly. A pleasure to meet you. Great match" greeted Zaxton

"Thanks. You are Zaxton, right?"

"Correct"

"Well, you beat that kid easily, it seemed"

"Sort of.."

"Well, I cant stay right now. I have to go back to my room. I'm tired. I'll see you all tomorrow" said Zaxton "See ya" said Ganondorf, Bowser, Mewtwo and Deadly

Zaxton walked out of the stage, into the cafeteria, only to be greeted by Samus.
