"Excellent idea Zaxton" said Ridley "That way we can all get back at rivals"
"I agree" said everyone else

"Then it is settled. We will start a war" said Zaxton

"Alright. We will mount an assault in a couple days on Master Link's Smash HQ. But for now, we mus-sst go and gather more S-sspace Pirate troops for the invasion" said Ridley

"Alright. Then let's go get them Space Pirates!" yelled Zaxton

The fleet moved into warp speed.

6 days later..

The fleet came into orbit over Planet Nintendo. From the bridge of The Marauder, Ridley, Zaxton, Ganondorf and the others admired the new fleet. It consisted of 50 Warships, and more then 1000 troops.

"Prepare for the atmospheric entry of Planet Nintendo" Ridley announced to the fleet.

The large Star Fleet entered Nintendo's atmosphere. Zaxton peered out of the Bridge Window. He spotted some strange looking ships guarding Smash HQ. The Bridge got a message.

"This is captain Vyse of the Delphinus. State your name and purpose of being here"

"You again!" yelled Ganondorf into the comn link "I'll crush you again you worm if you don't let us through"

"Great move" sighed Mewtwo

"Ganondork? Damn it! All units, fire at will"

"Crap" said Ganondorf.

The fleet broke up into groups of 10's, and began assaulting the Delphinus and the other ships.

From the Bridge of the Delphinus, Vyse looked frantically at the assaulting ships.

"There's too many." he said to himself

"Incoming blast" said Marco from the left corner of the bridge

A large blast from The Marauder hit the Delphinus with dead on accuracy. The Delphinus began to plummet towards the surface below.

"Vyse! Were going down!" shouted Vyse's good friend, Aika from behind him

"Damn. I'm sorry Master Link, I tried"

The Delphinus fell slowly, and then quicker. It slammed hard into the ground. Master Link looked out of the main window of Smash HQ with a shocked expression on his face.

"No. how? Vyse." Master Link said slowly

Meanwhile, back at the bridge of The Marauder, Zaxton and the others grinned at the pain and chaos they had caused.

"The flagship is down" said Bowser

"Excellent. And the others are retreating. Now is my chance to get back at Samus and the others!" said Zaxton with a sinister tone

The fleet came down slowly to the ground, and touched down. The doors on the massive ships opened, and Space Pirates piled out. And out of The Marauder, Zaxton, Ridley, Deadly and the others came out also. Zaxton noticed that the Space Pirates were in a large box formation, all standing still.

But, meanwhile from inside Smash HQ, Master Link was still shocked at the death of his friend, the destruction of The Delphinus, and the massive army at his front door.

"Damn it" he muttered to himself, "I haven't faced this much of a challenge since Mazada and the hunt."

He sat silent for another second. He turned around and activated the comn link.

(A/N The following is sort of a Sneak Peak characters for Link McCloud's upcoming FanFiction story, 26 days in Melee Land 2: Double or Nothing)

"Gilder, Shampoo, Kuno, and the rest of you, get to my office now!"

They immediately arrived at Master Link's office.

"That was quick. Any ways, this is a time of emergency. A Bounty Hunter named Zaxton Marac, an evil warrior named Deadly Warrior, and a whole slew of others are attacking Smash HQ" explained Master Link

"Uh, yeah, we noticed" said Gilder

"Shut up Gilder! Take the smashers outside and counter this threat. I will help you too"

They got up, and headed through the hallways. They ran to the training room, and rounded the smashers up.

Meanwhile.

"All Troops, prepare to fire in. 5-4-3-2--" Ridley said but was cut off

"Attack!!!!!" came a cry from the Smash HQ

Master Link, his team and Samus and the Smashers charged the Space Pirate army.

"Fire now!" yelled Ridley

It seemed synchronized, as all the blasts from the Space Pirates pilled into the attacking Smashers. But they carried on. It was brutal, seeing a Smasher fall, and a Space Pirate's severed head fly into the air. But this did not stop Zaxton from firing at any smasher he saw.

Same with Deadly Warrior (A/N I changed Deadly's name, so I'll just use Deadly as a short form for his name). He charged energy into his gloved hands, and fired. To his right, he saw Master Link, as he was picking off Space Pirate by Space Pirate with his blasters.

"There you are" Deadly snickered as he flew over to Master Link

ML turned to see Deadly kick him in the face. He flew backwards, and his blasters fell on the ground. Deadly grinned with an evil satisfaction, as ML got up and drew his sword. Deadly reached back and grabbed his double shenlong swords, and they charged each other.

The swords swished and clanged, each sending off their own shower of sparks. ML jumped into the air, but was thrown back by a KI blast from Deadly. But this was not enough to topple the mighty fighter. He charged Deadly, and caught him off guard. He slashed him in the arm, but Deadly didn't really feel it.

ML rushed him quickly, and knocked one of his swords flying. Deadly was fine, though, and he jumped and kicked ML in the chin. ML spurted some blood out. ML knew it was time to finish it.

"Mass-ter Destruction!" ML yelled at the top of his lungs.

A massive KI blast emerged from his hands, and sent Deadly flying backwards, hurt badly. ML turned his attention away from his fallen foe, and noticed that the Smashers were winning. The Space Pirates were retreating into the ships. Deadly crawled his way into The Marauder, and the ships took off.

ML stood there, stunned at what had just happened, and he turned his attention to Smash HQ. It was badly damaged.

"Smashers.let's rebuild this place." ML sighed

Meanwhile, in The Marauder, Deadly was being tended by the robotic Medic, while he listened to the briefing.

"We have suffered a pretty bad loss today," started Zaxton "But, we have a couple new allies."

They all looked to their rights, and saw two figures there. Master Hand, and a warrior brandishing two swords, a cape, a black tunic, and surprisingly, looking exactly like Link.

End of Episode I! The next two episodes will focus on Deadly Warrior, the War, and the newcomer warrior, whom I shall name in a minute. Now, thanks for reading, here is a special sneak peek of Samus's Rival Episode II: An old foe Returns.. Deadly Warrior and the new warrior, Spectral Link, floated side by side as they hovered over Hyrule Castle.

"Haven't been here in quite a while, I will be fin to destroy it." Snickered Spectral Link

"Probably will."

They lowered themselves to the ground, and stood at the entrance to the castle. Suddenly, they heard something. Out of the entrance, marched hundreds of Hylian soldier, all with spears ready.

"Maybe this will be harder then I thought." Said Spectral Link

Deadly noticed something from behind them.

"Shit! Hit the deck!" yelled Deadly

Spectral Link and Deadly Warrior dropped to the ground, as a strange looking warrior, with a large broadsword, cut the Hylian army down to size. The soldiers all fell at the same time, and the warrior. Stood over their bodies.

Deadly and Spectral Link got up.

"Who are you.Debega!!!! (A/N Debega is a character from Deadly's past. He is the result of a fusion of his brothers, Beta, Delta and Omega. Deadly thought he had destroyed him)"

Debega turned to face them.

"Deadly. You pathetic worm."

"Your supposed to be dead!" yelled Deadly

"Well, surprise, surprise. Now, get ready to fight!"

Deadly and Spectral Link drew their swords.
