Chapter Three: Mario vs. Donkey Kong, The Legendary Rematch
The Purple man led them away from the door and down a nearby hallway. From there, they went down another hall and into a large room. In it were eight cots and workout equipment. Samus looked, if anyone could tell, disgusted.
'A cot to sleep in? What was this? Easy? I've slept on a bed made of glass, nails, and hot coals.'
"Well, it'll just be like the cots at home," said Fox, jumping into one.
"Now, before your battles, you will have a thirty minute period in a secret room to test your moves. When you battle someone, don't tell anyone what your, or the others', moves are. Mario and Donkey Kong will be the first. Please follow me," said the Purple guy.
Mario felt butterflies in his stomach. He would be fighting for his life. His past hate for DK had gone away when he heard those words, 'You will fight, or you will die.' It was some conspiracy that had gone really wrong. How come he hadn't seen this.
As if on cue, the yellow mouse chased after the Purple one and started crying out.
"Pika! Pika pi Pikachu! Pichu pi pika Pikachu!" How was anyone going to understand that rodent?
"So what if no one knew about the death thing. You should have seen it like you saw the others," said the Purple man.
"Pi why wasn't it transferred to us like the other images. Pi why ka?" All of a sudden, Mario could understand the little creature.
"That isn't my authority to tell you."
"Thunder Shock!" Pikachu started to light up with electricity. The Purple man stepped back, but then held his ground. The rodent shot out a ball of electricity at the Purple man. He jumped out of the way and then came at him with his sword drawn. He slashed Pikachu and he was sent into a wall, knocked out.
"Well, with that interruption taken care of, please follow me." The Purple man laughed and continued on his way to a big set of doors, which he opened.
"You may enter the training area. Mind you watch out for the changes that'll happen in thirty minutes. Good luck to you both."
Mario turned to look at Pikachu and saw Samus watching them. Through her visor, Mario could tell she was watching him. She then turned around and walked back to the waiting room. With that, Mario and DK entered the room.
It was dark at first, with a feeling of evil in it. Mario shuddered and looked at where DK was. He couldn't even see him. Then, the floor, the walls, the ceiling all lit up, shocking him. DK was no where to be seen. It didn't matter. He would see him in thirty minutes. He couldn't wait to fight him.
He had no idea what to do.
One minute to go, and he had no moves. He did just a few punches, but that was it.
Forty-five seconds to, and had one move. He jumped up, jumped again, and then did an upper cut, releasing a coin as he hit the ceiling.
Thirty seconds to go, and he had two moves. He did a jump and then a back flip kick.
fifteen seconds, and he had three moves. He did a freaky tornado. He never knew he could do that.
The scenery changed and he was on a big platform with two floating triangles on each side. Under the platform was a bigger platform. A long, brick slab was sliding from one end, through the platform, and out on the other side by a big, blue brick wheel. Mario was awed by this. It was like nothing he could explain.
He felt a sudden thumped through the platform. Mario looked up and at DK.
A voice called over them to start fighting.
Mario got into a fighter stance, waiting for DK to make the first move. He did.
DK came out Mario with a low punch, but he easily jumped over it. As he went over Donkey Kong, Mario did his back flip kick. DK was knocked forward, but he regained his composure. Turning around, he punched Mario in the legs. The plumber was sent backwards, doing front flips. He landed face first into the steel platform. Donkey Kong was now preparing a punch. Mario got up and kicked DK before he was able to finish the punch. Mario then did the upper cut that released the coins. His fist pounded into DK's face and he was sent flying off the stage. This was the first time Mario realized what was around the platform. It was just like the room he was in before coming here. Except, the bottom was glowing pink. DK was heading right for it. He jumped up once, like Mario did before, then, he started to spin around and around. DK landed on the moving slab. Mario ran to the edge of the top platform and jumped off. He did a back flip towards the bottom platform. DK was there with an attack.
He slapped Mario before he could land, but Mario just did his Coin Attack. DK was sent through the top platform without breaking it. Seeing this, Mario jumped through it, too. DK struck him with his feet, sending him into the platform. Donkey Kong landed next to Mario and prepared a punch. As he went to throw it, Mario jumped up and side kicked him. DK was sent crashing into the floating triangle. He ricocheted off of it and up into the sky.
As he came down, Mario jumped up and side-kicked him again. He was sent past the triangle and down into the pit.
He jumped and missed the platform and was starting his spinning move again. Mario went through the top platform and down to the bottom one. He shot a fireball, some how, at DK, as he was about to reach the receding slab. DK was sent backwards and missed his chance to live. He plummeted down into the white and pink of the abyss. He landed on the floor and, for just a second, nothing happened. Then, he was gone in an explosion.
Mario felt relief, then sorrow, then triumph, and then fear. Fear of what was going to happen to him and how he was going to escape this place. Suddenly, everything was black. A rectangle of light was coming from his left. He headed to it.
Somewhere, he heard the sound of screaming.
