Samus found a place in the stands far away from team Star Fox and
Captain Falcon. She didn't want them bothering her, and she just knew
Falcon would try to wish her luck. She was fighting his archenemy during
the fifth match, after all. Samus needed her quiet time. Each fighter was
given a small datafile with data on each of the contestants. Samus searched
for hers to make sure no one would know something about her she didn't
approve of.
As she scanned over it she carefully noted that it didn't mention her gender. Good. She wanted to keep everyone guessing and no one was to know the whole truth. After she finished reading her information she looked at another fighter's. She found Roy, that young attractive man she warned Ridley about. Perhaps he could know she wasn't male.
"I see you're reading up on me," a familiar voice said from behind her. Samus turned around to see the young red head smiling. "Do you like what you hear?"
"You studied in Ostia. During that time the Kingdom of Bern invaded the League of Lycia. You're father, the lord of Pharae Principality, fell ill so you took command of the army and saved your entire continent," Samus read aloud, voice fully distorted.
"You were the lone survivor of a space pirate's raid on your colony, K-21. The Chozo built your power suit and you have saved entire planets of Metroid infestation," Roy recited, learning Samus's information by memory. "Impressive."
"Likewise," Samus retorted. "Where's your friend?" Samus asked remembering the blue-haired Marth.
"He's talking to other contestants," Roy answered. "I thought I'd come by and see if you have any more advice on how to defeat Ridley. It says he's fast, intelligent, and strong. Seems like the perfect warrior. How do I beat him?"
"First you need a gun, not some stick," Samus started. "Other than that, there's no real advice I can give you. Every time we fight he's always different." Roy nodded.
"Why do you distort your voice like that so much?" Roy asked her. Obviously he wasn't going to go away unless he knew everything he wanted, so Samus decided to play along.
"I like to remain private. I work alone, I fight alone, and I live alone. I have ever since I was a child," Samus replied.
"You don't ever get lonely? You don't ever think of what someone else might be like in your life?"
"No, because that can never happen. As you read, I'm the lone survivor. There is no one else. Now please be quiet so I can finish reading about this Samurai Goroh person. That other bounty hunter over there doesn't seem to like him very much," Samus shot her thumb at Captain Falcon who was sitting with a drowsy Jody Summer and reading from his datafile. "And after what he did to his friend I think I'd be happy to take him down personally."
"Alright then, Samus Aran." Roy stood up. "And if there's any more advice you'd like to give me, please don't hesitate." With that the young man left to a different part of the stadium.
Just as well, Samus thought, the match is about to begin.
Yoshi had studied everything he could about Ganondorf, but it still wouldn't be enough. That Link fellow that met with Peach told him that he was very powerful. That made Yoshi nervous and when Yoshi got nervous he got hungry. Very hungry.
The stage they were fighting on was in the Lylat System called 'Corneria.' Yoshi didn't what that meant, but it made him hungry. Yoshi sighed. He would have to fight this wizard with all he had. After all, he had Peach, Toad, Mario, Luigi, Dr. Mario, and Link rooting for him. Everyone else here hated Ganondorf.
Well, the match was going to begin in just a few seconds. They would be teleported on the stage and everyone in the stadium would be able to watch from their seats. There were more than just the contestants in the stands; them and their guests just took up a small section. The rest of the stadium was filled with the N'A-S natives, Fighting Wire Frames and Polygons.
Yoshi took a deep breath and then he was teleported on top of a spaceship traveling through a city.
Fox perked up when he saw his Great Fox in the stadium. Mr. Game & Watch had assured everyone that what they saw in the stadium were not real, but in fact just duplicates of what they were familiar with. Still, he was honored to have the first fight on his ship.
"I say the wizard wins," Falco remarked. He was sitting between Fox and Peppy and his legs were on the bleachers below him. Around them wasn't very crowded; it was the rest of the stadium that was packed with strange- looking natives.
"I don't know, Falco," Slippy put in from Fox's other side. "Look what it says about the dinosaur. He has the power to eat anything and turn them into eggs! What I wouldn't give to be able to do that!"
"Both of you be quiet," Fox snapped. "For your sake, Falco, you better hope Ganondorf wins. How easy do you think Mario's going to be if his pet can defeat a powerful warlord?"
"Well, regardless, can we just watch the fight? It's starting in just a few seconds," Peppy complained. Fox sighed. Maybe he should've just left the rabbit in the ship.
Yoshi didn't waste any time. He knew if he was to beat Ganondorf then he would have to be fast. Ganondorf's data said he was strong and powerful, but it was levied by his lack of speed.
Yoshi ran at the wizard at full speed, hoping to catch him off guard. Once he reached him he stuck out his long tongue and the sticky end grabbed hold of Ganondorf. Perfect.
Ganondorf was turned into an egg before he even had a chance to lay one punch of Yoshi. Yoshi jumped into the air and kicked the egg several times with his red shoes. He tried to do it again but Ganondorf broke free of the egg and hit Yoshi, sending him flying to the other edge of the stage.
Yoshi got up quickly and decided to turn himself into an egg. Once he was an egg he rolled around furiously. Ganondorf was better than that, though. He did some kind of warlock kick and broke Yoshi's rolling egg and sent the hungry dinosaur high up in the stage. Yoshi had been KO'd.
There's still two more stock, Yoshi told himself. I still have a chance.
Yoshi was teleported back on stage and immediately did a quickly smash attack with his forehead that landed directly on Ganondorf's chest. It did send him far, but it gave Yoshi enough time.
Yoshi reached for a beam sword that had appeared and hit Ganondorf with it. He flew back and began to run at Yoshi again, but was thrown back once again by the beam sword. Just a hard attack from the beam sword and Ganondorf would be KO'd!
This time Ganondorf found a fallen item: a mine. Ganondorf had read about the curse of the Yoshi, how it was drawn to mines and frequently made them self-destruct. He threw the mine and it landed directly in front of Yoshi. Yoshi saw the trap and jumped of it harmlessly. He'd check back on it later.
Ganondorf's rage increased and he made a quick kick on Yoshi, then ran at him and jumped into the air. He caught Yoshi and sent magic sparks through the dinosaur and then sent Yoshi on his way again. It was now that Yoshi hit the mine and was thrown offstage again.
I still have a chance, Yoshi thought. I can't let Mario down. I have to win.
Yoshi got back onstage and sat on Ganondorf furiously. Ganondorf didn't go far and he grabbed Yoshi. Yoshi struggled but he couldn't fight free. It was all going to be over so soon.
Ganondorf was about to kick Yoshi backwards, but a blast sent the wizard flying far away from the stage and fall down. Ganondorf was KO'd! But by. Yoshi looked at what caused the blast: an Arwing. It shot Ganondorf and wasn't afraid to shoot Yoshi, too.
Yoshi put on his egg barrier and hid for a moment until the Arwing passed. Once it was safe he opened his shield. Yoshi heard a strange noise from behind him and turned around, but it was too late. Ganondorf was back onstage and his Warlock Punch was prepared. It hit Yoshi dead on and there was no turning back.
Yoshi had lost.
