A/N: Here's the last chapter!
Link: Of the story, anyway. Bloopers are next!
Marth: So, here it is!
Super Smash League III: Chapter 8: Saying Goodbye
"Presenting the Doubles Champions- LINK AND MARTH!!!!"
The others cheered as Link and Marth stepped up to the podium to receive their trophies. After the big reception, a party was being held in their honor. Everyone was eating, laughing, dancing, and generally have a good time. Fox approached Link.
"Hey, Fox."
"Hey, there." He stood quietly by Link's side and looked over to another part of the large room. Link looked as well and smiled, seeing Samus and Falco conversating. It was obvious, though, that they were quite attracted to each other.
"Look at those two," Link lightly laughed. "They're never gonna wanna part."
"Nope." Fox smiled. "Looks like bringing Falco here to the tournament was a good idea."
Link nodded in agreement, still smiling. Fox turned back to him.
"So, now you're the champion of both singles AND doubles! How do you do it?"
Link shrugged his shoulders and they both laughed. Fox patted him on the back.
"Congratulations, Link. I wish you luck next year."
Link smiled. "You too, Fox."
Fox smiled back and walked away to rejoin the dancing group. Link looked around and saw Marth being congratulated by Roy. They both laughed as Roy got him in a headlock and gave him a noogie. Link shook his head, smiled, and approached them.
"Hey, lovebirds."
The two pulled their view up and playfully scowled. All three laughed as they straightened up.
"Hey, congrats to both you guys," Roy patted them both on the back. "Of course, you would've won anyway, cause old Ganondork was disqualified for using that spell. . ."
"Where is he, anyway?" asked Marth.
"He's been excluded, so he's gone."
"Well, what do you know, three bad apples taken out of the bunch. . ." mused Link.
"Actually, four." pointed out Roy.
"Well, Master Hand doesn't really count. He wasn't the 'mastermind.'"
"That's true. . ."
Marth nodded, then turned to Roy. "Hey, Roy?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm gonna step out for a minute with Link."
"Alright."
With that, the two left the party briefly. They stood in the hallway, silent at first. Then, Link decided to speak first.
"I. . . don't really know where to start. . . For one thing, I'm glad that we won. And. . . I'm sorry you had to go through that pain. . ."
"It's not your fault, Link. . . Although it did hurt. . . a lot. . ."
"Now imagine that for ten hours straight."
Marth literally shuddered at the thought. ". . .Wow. . . I would never be able to last that long. . ."
"Of course you would," Link smiled. "You just need the willpower to last. I did, because when they started coming for me, I knew they would come. All I needed to was to hang in there until they came. Even when I thought I was dead, I still had that small spark of hope. And I ended up living after all. Anyone could get put in that orb and live if they had the will to do so."
Marth was silent, taking in these words like words of wisdom. He looked back up at Link. ". . . Link. . . I've learned so much from you these past few months. . . I don't know how I could ever repay you. . ."
"Like I said before, being a friend who's willing to listen is more than enough for me."
They were silent for several minutes, until Link's sly smile appeared as he looked back at Marth.
"So, what do you think?"
"About what?"
"About the SSB Tournament."
"It's pretty fun. . . Without the orb."
"Well, duh, I kinda figured that."
Marth lightly laughed. "It was enjoyable."
"Think you'll come back next year?"
"Of course I will. I'm sure Roy will be back too. He says he wants revenge on Falcon."
They both laughed.
"That's Roy, alright. . ." Link chuckled.
Marth's face became serious again. "Link, I. . . I'm gonna miss you. . . and the others. . ."
Link's joyful face fell. "Y-yeah. . . I'll miss you too. . ."
"It was an honor to fight by your side this year, Link. . ."
"Yours too, Marth. . . We're a great team. . ."
Finally, they embraced one more time.
"Thank you. . . for everything. . ." Marth choked out.
Link nodded, getting choked up as well. "You too, Marth. . ."
And so, a friendship had blossomed to it's brightest. The wrongs of the past were righted, Great lessons of life were learned. And the battles will continue for years and years to come. New friendships will be made and new champions will arise.
But for now, this has been the story of Super Smash League.
THE END
A/N: Okay, I don't know where that last paragraph came from. Oh, well.
Link: A good ending to a great trilogy. (nod nod)
YAY!! I'M DONE!!!! (does a happy dance)
Marth: Hey, don't you start your happy dance yet! You still have to do the bloopers!
(stops dancing) Aw. . . Me like my happy dance. . . (pouts)
Link: Oh, don't be such a baby. . . Hey, people out there! Review!
Hey! That's my line!
Marth: Too bad, so sad.
Link: Of the story, anyway. Bloopers are next!
Marth: So, here it is!
