Marth held out his hand to Zelda, in attempt to gain her trust, or friendship. "Forgive me." He said simply.
Peach glanced at the both of them in turn, giving Zelda the just-accept-it look.
Zelda frowned and finally nodded, shoving her hand into Marth's. She shook briefly and took notice to squeeze rather hard in the short period.
Marth stepped back after shaking her hand, trying not to wring out his hand too obviously.
"I demand a rematch!" A voice came from the door, making all heads turn immediately.
"You're back already?" Marth asked, a little surprised.
"Were you fearing my return?" Link asked smugly, not fumbling with his steps at all. In fact, he seemed in quite fine condition.
"Just surprised you were able to heal so quickly." Marth replied, not taking offense at all.
"We don't have advanced healing magic nowadays for nothing. Seems you haven't been keeping your history up to date, Princey boy." Link mocked.
"Now now, you two." The Master Hand said, floating up into the crowd. "There may be a rematch if you wish."
Ganondorf cut in, "I would like to take a team rematch. This way, the new employees may have a chance to fight, as well as Link and Marth may have another chance to have at it." He said, staring pointedly at Zelda.
"Is this alright with the both of you?" Asked the Master hand, turning in position to Marth and Link.
"It's alright with me." Marth said agreeably.
"Whatever. I just want another shot at pretty boy." Link said, flinging his head to the side to knock hair from his eyes, so he wouldn't have to push it away by hand.
"So be it. Ganondorf, since you seem so directive on a team battle, whose side would you wish to be on, and who would you like to compete against?"
Ganondorf made no hesitation in his choosing. "I'd like to team with Marth…and I believe we should fight against Zelda, as well as Link."
"Very well, then." The Master Hand said.
Zelda glared even harder at Ganondorf, but Marth thought everything was perfectly fine.
"Link, as the defeated opponent of the previous battle, I'm allowing you to choose the stage." The Master hand said, turning to the many levels behind him.
Link snarled as he heard the word "defeated", but went on anyway. He walked up the steps and onto the bridge leading to the first level. He kept walking until he got to Hyrule Temple. "This." He said, turning to face his team and foes.
Marth smiled heartily and leapt onto the platform. He ran up the small hill and onto a stone surface, then jumped to the left and onto the more level ground. "I'm ready." He said, calling out to his teammate, Ganondorf.
Ganondorf did the same as Marth, but slower indeed. He had a little bit of trouble jumping up onto the level platform where Marth was and barely made it. "Marth. You take the Princess, I'll deal with Link, alright?" Ganondorf said forcefully.
"But I—" Marth began, but the Master Hand cut in before Marth could finish.
"Begin!" It said.
