A/N Yay! One new review from paperpenguin. Thank you!

I don't have much to say, except this is the last chapter and be sure to review! Also, I updated my bio, but it's not like you really care... also, I updated the summary, because I really couldn't turn the story that way.

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fear my kittany wrath!

0o...

What?

(Begin Chapter Five)

Peach had absolutely no idea that behind her, an angry mountain climber was bearing down on her.

"Peach! Watch-" Nana never got to finish her sentence. Popo tackled Peach, sending her flying. In the arena they were in, Mushroom Kingdom, Peach destroyed blocks as she slammed into them.

Whipping out her parasol, the peeved princess repeatedly beat upon the smaller one's head.

"Popo! Stop that!" yelled Nana, rushing over. She grabbed Popo and tore him away. "What was that for?"

Popo fidgeted, rubbing at his head. "Well, aren't we supposed to fight?"

Peach let down her parasol in disbelief. "What?"

"Didn't you hear the rest of the Smashers talking about defying the Master Hand?" asked Nana.

Popo raised his eyes. "What? I never heard that!"

Nana sighed. "Where were you?"

Popo shrugged. "In my room. I didn't bother to watch the tournament. I came down when people were yelling, 'Where's Popo!?'"

Nana rolled her eyes. "Well, we're all supposed to run off the sides and not hurt each other."

Popo sheepishly looked at the ground. "Oops. Sorry, Peach."

Peach whacked Popo over the head again. "Apology accepted. Now run off the side of this arena!"

The battle was over in a matter of minutes. Peach returned to her friends, Samus and Zelda, and Nana tagged along. Popo had to go to the infirmary to get a cold compress on his head.

"Next is Gannondorf and Link, isn't it?" asked Samus, fingering her gun to distract herself. "You worried?"

Zelda kept her eyes to the sphere of Din's fire she had in palm. "No, but... well, they are mortal enimies, right? What if they really hurt the other?"

Samus laughed a humorless laugh. "Oh, I'm sure nothing will happen. Really."

Zelda smiled. "Yeah..." But something nagged at her. Her scarlet eyes betrayed worry.

Hyrule Temple was the arena, and both Gannondorf and Link were geared up and ready. Both had a fire in their eyes. Zelda thought Gannondorf looked slightly smug, like he had something planned. She didn't like it.

"One... two... GO!" cried the announcer, and the battle began.

Link leapt forward from his perch on top of the columns, and Gannondorf ran from his spot on the far right. The Hero of Time unsheathed his sword and stabbed downward, right above Gannondorf.

It struck the Gerudo in the head, and Gannondorf was flung against the rocks. Struggling up, he threw a hefty punch, which sent Link flying.

The boy smashed into the wall, but sprang up again and fired off arrows, stunning Gannondorf temporarily. However, it was brief, and Gannondorf ran at Link, and hurled another punch at him.

Link ducked and thrust out with his sword, and caught the man in the leg. Stepping backwards, Link was still for a moment- and then was launched backwards by sensor bombs!

"Not fair!" cried out Zelda, standing up. "There were not supposed to be any items!"

"Gannondorf will do anything to get back at Link for dissing him," said Samus gently. "Sit down, he's been through worse before."

Zelda sat down, arranging her dress around her legs, her crimson eyes burning with fury.

Link sat up, his own azure eyes livid. Quickly getting up, he chucked a boomerang at Gannondorf, catching him in the face and throwing him off the arena!

The crowd "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed, but it was mostly because no one had spoken for a while.

Gannondorf reappeared, and this time kicked out viciously, catching Link a nasty one in the side. Link was tossed across the arena, but managed to cling to the edge, gripping with the last of his strength.

Gannondorf came over to the edge, and was about to punch Link off the edge when Link lashed out with his hookshot, catching Gannondorf in the legs, wrapping the chain around them. Jerking the hookshot, he hurled Gannondorf over the edge. As soon as Gannondorf fell to his defeat, Link let go, burned, bruised and aching.

Zelda ran to the rest area, where Link had stumbled in and collapsed on a couch. She yelled at him, "Why didn't you quit? It was an unfair match!"

Link opened an eye. "I still beat him," he said in a exhausted voice. Closing the eye, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zelda placed a cool cloth on his forehead and left him in the room, when he drifted off into sleep.

At the Smashers watching zone was intensely alert as they waited for Pikachu and Pichu's match to end. Both of the electric mice ran off the edge, dropping to their acid-y deaths on Brinstar, where they fought.

Now, the match everyone was waiting for had come. Bowser and Young Link were tense, and ready to battle.

The stage was Termina. Bowser and Young Link appeared, both with anger and weapons at ready, whether it be sword or claw.

"One... two... GO!" screamed the announcer, and Young Link, almost as if to the beat of the music, which was Saria's Song, leapt forward and back, taunting Bowser.

The oversized turtle angrily slashed out at the young boy, who gracefully leapt back, sticking out his tongue and shouting, "Nah nah nah!"

Bowser growled and stamped forward, until he was feet from the youth, and suddenly ducked down and lashed out with a claw, catching Young Link in the legs, sending him on the back of the other turtle there.

Bowser grinned, showing fangs and sharp teeth, and ambled forward, his burgundy eyes full of vegenence.

Young Link lay on the back of the huge turtle, in pain. However, the music made his mind drift back to the days of the Kokiri, with Saria and his treehouse...

Suddenly, he was aware of a huge presence bearing down on him. He sprang up and stabbed up with the sword, throwing Bowser off balance.

Landing on his back, Bowser became furious. Jumping up, he roared, sending out fire. Young Link winced in pain, but retaliated with arrows tipping with fire, and a hefty kick to the ribs.

However, Bowser knew what was coming, and ducked, grabbing Young Link and hurling him over his shoulder. Clinging to the edge of the stones, he grasped and snatched at whatever he could. Climbing up, he threw his boomerang at Koopa (sp?), sending him flying onto the giant turtle's back, who submerged at that exact second, drowning Bowser!

Young Link drank a swig of Lon Lon milk, savoring the taste. One more to go, he thought.

Bowser reappeared, and the second he did, he hit out at Young Link with a claw, catching him in the head. Young Link spun off the edge, and nearly drowned if it were not for the turtle that was rising, saving Young Link!

Bowser growled in surprise, and during that second, Young Link leapt up and pitched a bomb at Bowser.

The explosive slammed into Bowser and sent him spinning into the water. Young Link smugly, again, took a quick slurp of Lon Lon milk.

After winning, Young Link, though bruised, singed and basically beaten in every respect, ran to the rest area where older Link was waking up.

"Guess what?" said Young Link, sitting on the edge of the couch where the older Link was. "I beat Bowser! He stood no chance!"

Link opened a bleary eye. "And you came to me... why?"

Young Link bounced up and down again. "Because I have an enemy too, like you do, and I beat him, like you did!"

The Hero of Time sighed. "You are me."

Young Link looked at the ceiling. "That's a lot to think about, isn't it?"

Link closed his eye. "I guess you aren't that bad. You are, after all, a younger version of me, right?"

Young Link stopped looking at the ceiling and turned his head to what he would become in seven years. "Yep!"

(End The Tournament)

A/N Excuse me for the cheesy ending. I really couldn't think of another way to do it. I always thought, since they must get on the other's nerves, they'd make up some way.

Yes, this is the last chapter. I hope you like it! I know it was a bit short, but oh well. I tried. ; ) Thanks to all my reviewers! You really helped me with the story!

Review, and may your shadow ne'er leave you!
