I do not own anybody in this chapter except Warf Emire
Chapter 4: Answered Questions Only Lead To More Questions
"Well you can start by telling us your name." Peach said in a rather impatient voice due to the stress of Bowser and the Wario brothers showing up.
"I am called Warf Emire, I am here to answer questions about the tournament." A crowd had been building up of people; some Yoshi knew some he didn't. People started throwing questions at him the rambling continued on for ten minutes, Warf seemed to not be impatient at all, it was amazing he just stood there not moving with his arms crossed. Soon people started to realize what was going on and became silent.
"One at a time please Warf said calmly" People then raised their hands.
"And only if you plan on participating in the tournament should you ask a question" Three fourths of all the hands raised were put down. DK's hand being longer than anyone else's was called on.
"Yes, the ape near the front" Warf said pointing to DK
"What about questions from the last tournament?" DK asked
Warf seemed to just stand there a moment before asking, "Did you participate in the last tournament?"
"Yes" DK responded
Warf stalled again, as if he was listening to an invisible speaker whispering into his ear.
"I will talk with competitors of the last tournament in private to avoid any.confusion"
DK nodded understanding.
Yoshi had thought of a question and raised his hand
"Yes the green yoshi" Warf said pointing to Yoshi
"The last competition was a round-robin tournament, will this be like that too?" Yoshi asked
Warf just stared at him Yoshi felt cold but not in an evil way, he just was worried if he was making him angry by asking a question that had to do with the last tournament, and he couldn't see his face for it was in the shadows of the many cloaks, only two glowing white eyes. To Yoshi's relief, he responded in a calm manner.
"No, we expect to have a large amount of competitors more than we had last time, a round-robin tournament would take months to complete, so this time we are having an elimination tournament. Next question please"
"Me Me Pick Me" Yoshi heard someone cry in the back, he turned to see a young goomba, goombas are like little brown mushrooms with big eyes and a small yellow body with two feet, they have no arms. They are considered to be traitors to the Mushroom Kingdom for many joined bowser's army but there are many good goombas such as this one who wore a baseball cap, it was Goombario a famous heroic goomba who had helped Mario on one of his adventures along with other friends (not including DK, Yoshi, or even Luigi) Many people knew about Goombario and Mario's other companions, a book was written on that adventure called Paper Mario.
"Yes, the goomba in the back with the cap, what is your question?" Warf asked still with the same tone of voice.
"Ummm" Goombario started "Is there an age limit for this tournament?" Warf just stared at him cold as always
"No, but youngsters, like everyone else must meet certain requirements in order to proceed into the tournament" Warf was about to call on someone else when another youngster shouted "Such as?!" Warf looked the same way at the person, still calm, undisturbed at the child's rudeness of shouting without being called on.
"Do you plan on entering?" Warf asked. The child seemed a little intimidated by the mysterious being.
"Well. maybe." he said a bit quietly. Warf, well. paused like he usually does before responding.
"A test will be issued before the tournament begins, I cannot explain what the test is for you may train in all the test categories before the tournament and this tournament is meant to test your abilities to fight, strategize, and think on your feet, not to just see if you can pass a test. We just do not want to be responsible if a parent's young child were to be hurt in a match, I think you can understand that." There were murmurs in the crowd at Warfs answer.
"Next question" Warf said
Waluigi raised his hand.
"Yes you in the front" Warf pointed at Waluigi
Walugi being a "Warrio Brother" decided to have some fun. Waluigi spoke in barely audible voice "Idiot says what"
Yoshi could barely make out what he said and Waluigi was closer to Yoshi than he was to Warf.
Warf stood there, like always before replying
"Do you have a question on the tournament or not, I am not here to play games" Amazingly he still had the calmness in his voice at Waluigi's failed trick.
".Yeah.I g.I guess." Waluigi said flabbergasted that Warf was able to hear him "What do we win if we become the champion?" Waluigi asked.
Warf stalled (and will continue to stall after every question lets leave it at that.) Warf replied, "Too answer you question. Idiot." The crowd chuckled; Waluigi stupidly fell over his own trick by beginning his question with what. "The winner of the tournament will receive a medal declaring them the new Super Smash Brothers Champion, when entries are taken the winner will have a choice to either represent a town or city or world for that matter, or they can represent themselves. If you choose to represent yourself, you will be awarded riches such as gold, jewels, and your currency, to keep and spend as you please. If you represent an area you fight for that area, your winnings will be smaller but the area will benefit in ways from money and food supplies, to new buildings and structures being built. Next question"
"What about 2nd and 3rd"? someone shouted.
Wharf responded "There is a tournament champion and that is all, you are either the best or you are not the best. We are doing this to find out who is the best and reward them while we are paid by spectators who wish to see the tournament."
Mario raised his hand.
"Yes the one in red"
"Where will-a the tournament be held-a?" Mario asked
Warf answered ".everywhere, the tournament is not condemned to this one area, kingdom, world, or dimension it is-" The crowd exploded in shouts, talking, and whispers, wanting to know how this was possible, it went on for a few seconds when they noticed Warf had started talking again they became silenced. ".-an interdimensional tournament, like said earlier to find the best of the best. You will see combatants you have never seen before, going back to the main question the battlefields will be held in many different places, also a camera system will be set up to show you the matches and where they are happening, except for the last battles, we cannot broadcast it for it would be too dangerous and electrical interference may hinder the last battles and nobody wants that, but it will be recorded and shown later. Next question"
Bowser raised his hand and spoke at the same time "Can we bring weapons?"
Warf responded, "Yes since this is a tournament to find the best warrior, the best may be a master with their fists, or their weapons. but the weapons are limited to handheld weapons but you can bring as much as you can carry"
"I have a question" a man in the center shouted
"Yes what is it?"
"What would happen if we lost?"
Warf stalled as always, Yoshi had been counting in his head ussualy it took about five seconds for Warf to respond but Yoshi was at fifteen before Warf answered.
"If you fail the test you will be checked for injuries before being sent back, if you lose the tournament, you will be sent back after the tournament is finished for recording purposes."
"Why did he take so long to respond" Yoshi thought to himself The questions went on for about an hour before the final question was asked.
"Yes the ape again" Warf pointed to DK
"Uhhhhhh. Referring to one of the first questions you said that we would have time to train, how much exactly?" DK asked, he was a rather good speaker if he thought out his words carefully, being an ape and all.
Warf stalled and replied with a simple answer "Six months"
"Why so long?!" everyone seemed to ask in unison. Warf answered, "Remember this is not the only dimension that is competing, we will get many participants and we have to feed them, and find a place for them to sleep, as well as record people and entries. Are there any more questions?"
Silence
"Then you may leave, oh and if you participated in the last tournament come with me." Yoshi, Mario, Peach, Luigi, and DK followed him to a private room inside an abandoned building.
You finished the chapter, you have completed step one, step two is review.please More to come soon.
