SDB: Well, thank you Zensu14 and kenshinlink42889 for reviewing. I promise that I will put you people in the story farther on as right now is just not a good place. Note: To all others, there are still four slots open for guest characters. I also have just written the character's speech in straight English, because I suck at trying to mimic character speech.

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters, but I do own a copy of the game.

(Chaotix building)

"Where is everybody?" growled Bowser as he walked into the building.

"Oh, you must be Bowser. I'm Bob and I'll be your guide to where the rest of the Smashers are. You're the last one," replied Bob, and off they went into the middle of the building.

(Center of building)

"Welcome to the Great Tournament. I'm the official in charge of the tournament, and I'm going to walk you through the rules. The rules are as follows. Each match has specific rules. One match is a team match, one is a no item match, one is a four-way free for all, and one is a full item match. When I call your name please step up and I will tell you your opponent for the first match," finished the Official.

"Dr. Mario, you are facing Mario."

"Luigi, you are facing Bowser."

"Donkey Kong, you are facing Shadow."

The cries of outrage at the last name were loud and long. "Who's Shadow? He isn't a smasher. Why is he here?"

"Quiet down people. We brought him for this tournament because we needed another person and he was the 26th person in the tryouts for the first tournament. Well, let's start the first match!"

-------------

"The first match is the no item match. Players will use only what they normally fight with, whether it be a sword or fists. The match is a special match. The first one to 200 damage loses. If you fall off the arena, you automatically lose. Are you ready? Here we go."

(Arena Fountain of Dreams)

(Combatants Donkey Kong Vs. Shadow)

"Donkey Kong, you will meet your defeat in front of the other smashers. I am more powerful than I was at the tryout for the tournament. You cannot win." Shadow said emotionlessly, almost so emotionlessly that it seemed like he had no emotions. "Face the mighty power of the Origin!"

With the shout of Shadow, a great light appeared at the top of the arena. "What the heck is that?!" shouted Donkey Kong

"Why, that's the Origin; my double-sided broadsword that I usually fight with now. It's too heavy to normally carry around, so I simply summon it into the field of play. Now you can meet a portion of my power."

"Not if I destroy you first," grunted Donkey Kong, as he race towards Shadow and with that, he swung his large fist into Shadow's gut, or at least he tried to. Just as his fist would have hit Shadow, it was blocked by the sword slamming down through the sky, hitting Donkey Kong in the hand.

"Too slow, so here's something to jumpstart you," Shadow took his sword and slashed in a horizontal arc. "Elemental Wave!" With the slash of the sword, he sent a wave of fire, ice, electricity, and psychic energy at Donkey Kong, sending him flying toward the edge of the stage.

Donkey Kong managed to get himself up and he came back at Shadow with a fully charged punch. He launched the punch hitting Shadow directly, but Shadow did not move. He kept on punching him until Shadow's eyes suddenly burned red. Shadow was encased in a beam of light, which blinded all of the people watching, and as it faded, he was completely different. It was as if he was a negative of himself, with all white clothes, plus black gloves, and shoes. His hair was jet white, and his eyes burned a fiery red.

"You fool!" Shadow's voice rang out loud and harsh. "You still don't understand. I am more powerful than you are. You cannot win this match, for I am a guardian. Prepare for the apocalypse, as you will automatically lose. APOCALYPSE!"

"Apocalypse. Come on, nobody has a move named that, simply because there is no move that powerful. Ha, I laugh at your pitiful attack," Donkey Kong cracked up.

"Are you sure?"

"Huh?"

"Look behind you." Then, Donkey Kong turned around and saw the end of the match. Thousands of meteors were heading straight towards him. His last words for the fight were, "Oh, holy shit!" as the meteors started pummeling him.

(Viewing Room)

"And this match is over," shouted the Official, as Shadow and Donkey Kong were pulled out of the arena. "Ouch. That's got to hurt." Donkey Kong was covered in burns all over his body, and was limp. The medics put him on the stretcher and hauled him off.

Shadow looked around like someone who had just woken up. "Huh? Where am I? Did I lose the match?"

"No, you won. You pulverized Donkey Kong. Don't you remember what happened?" queried Mario.

"No, what happened?" replied Shadow.

"Here, watch the video of the match."

Shadow watched the video. When he got to the point where he changed, his eyes widened. "I don't remember this. I remember up to where I started the change, but then my mind is a blank. I wonder what the hell happened."

"Who knows?" answered Mario. "Well, I'm up next so I may as well get ready for the fight.

END CHAPTER.
