Zaxton was already at his seat the next day, and he couldn't stop grinning. For today, Ridley would invade. Him, Ganondorf, Deadly, Bowser and Mewtwo watched a couple matches. Not that good though, thought Zaxton.

A couple hours into the tournament of that day, Zaxton explained to his friends that Ridley would be invading.

"So what do you want us to do?" asked Deadly

"Back me, Ridley, and the Space Pirates up. Help me destroy this place"

"I'm in" said Bowser

"I will help too" said Deadly

"Me too" continued Ganondorf and Mewtwo

"Good"

Only a couple moments after telling them, Zaxton looked up into the sky to see what he wanted too. 20 StarShips came touching down in the arena, and around it. Out of them, came Space Pirates, and Ridley.

Samus gasped.

"How..did he find me..no, it must have been Zaxton!" yelled Samus to herself

"Samus-sss. So we meet again" hissed Ridley as he flew through the air

"Damn you Ridley!" yelled Samus

"Don't blame me, blame your rival there!" called back Ridley

Samus turned to see Zaxton standing with Ganondorf, Deadly, Bowser and Mewtwo.

"This is what you get for beating me!" yelled Zaxton

"It's only a tournament though!" called back Samus

"Not for me! And now, I will win, and kill you!" "Never!"

Zaxton charged at Samus. He elbowed her visor, causing a few cracks to seep around it. But she didn't take this that well. She jumped up, and kicked him on the head, causing him to stagger backwards.

"Ridley! Take Ganondorf, Bowser, Deadly and Mewtwo to aid the Space Pirates destroy this place!" called Zaxton

Ridley, and Zaxton's friends ran over to the Space Pirates, who were busy attacking the other smashers. Zaxton looked at Samus. She looked at him. They stood motionless for a second, then proceeded to attacking each other.

Samus shot a bunch of mini charge blasts, but Zaxton dodged them. He activated his Grapple Beam, and wrapped it around her legs. She fell backwards, and managed to get out of Zaxton's grapple beam. Zaxton growled, and retracted his grapple beam. Samus immediately charged Zaxton again, but only to be greeted by a punch in the visor.

But, Samus didn't care. She jumped up high enough to kick Zaxton in the ribs, sending him flying backwards. Zaxton landed on his back, as Samus stared at him. He looked around to see the Space Pirate army fighting reluctantly against many Smasher, such as Vyse, Aika, Shadow, Sonic ect.

Zaxton got up, and charged his Ice Cannon. But Samus used this time to her own cause. She kicked him in the visor, sending more cracks down it then she did the other day. But Zaxton retaliated with his half-charged Ice Cannon. It froze her legs. While she was frozen, Zaxton looked around again to see how the Space pirates were doing. But to his surprise, they were retreating.

At the command of Smashers, was a human that looked like a cross between The Air Pirate Vyse, and the Hylian Link. He saw him destroy Space Pirate after Space Pirate with a barrage of Energy Blasts. He saw Deadly trying to attack him with his own Energy Blasts, but they were not strong enough. Zaxton's friends, Ridley and the Surviving Space Pirates piled onto their ships, and started their engines.

Zaxton knew if Ridley's army couldn't stand against them, he couldn't. Zaxton looked back at Samus, who was free from her ice. He ran and managed to make his way out if the torn up arena, and to his ship. He started the engines as quickly as he could, and took off. Ridley's ships were already high in the air when Zaxton caught up with them.

Zaxton started a transmission to Ridley's flagship, The Marauder.

"Ridley, I'm docking with your ship. We'll have a small meeting" said Zaxton

Zaxton docked his StarShip with Ridley's. He opened the airlock, and walked though the docking hall that connected the ships. Zaxton opened a door, and entered the Bridge where his friends and Ridley were sitting.

Zaxton took a seat.

"All right. Now that Zaxton is-sss here, does anyone who that guy was-sss that beat us-sss?" asked Ridley

The bridge was silent for a moment, and then Deadly spoke up.

"His name is Master Link" he said softly

"How do you know of him?" asked Zaxton

"I have crossed paths with him many times. He owns another Tournament Place to the South of Planet Nintendo called Smash HQ" he said "That is where the Smashers live for now"

"I see" said Ridley

"Well, I didn't get back at Samus. But perhaps we can get back at all the Smashers for crushing our invasion" said Zaxton with an evil grin across his face

"What should we do?" asked Bowser

"Start a War on the Master Link, Samus and the Smashers" said Zaxton, sinisterly
