A/N: Before I start let me tell you something that really got me annoyed. I just got the melee game last year and we were done with it about April. Anyway I was playing it yesterday and something weird happened. I was doing Classic mode and fighting Master Hand. And then when I was Pikachu out of nowhere, Crazy Hand shows up. He beats the crap out of Pikachu. I was shocked. He didn't show up the next time I got my next set of lives and I beat M.H. Then I played classic again. He didn't show-up when I was Roy but when I was Pichu, Link, and Zelda C.H was back. He beat up Pichu and Zelda But when I was my guy Link…. Oooh he got torn up! Never mess with me when I'm Link! Anyway I find that pretty unfair when you're doing real well the other hand shows up. I guess it has to do with the difficulty you play at. Anyway back to the story.

Chapter 6

Three days after the incident, everything went back to normal, except Link became quiet and became really concerned about Zelda, who still hadn't woke up from the accident. Link watched over her all three days. So Fox took charge of the smashers since Link was busy watching her. Today were the stadium matches and Marth asked Samus to walk with him to the stadium and she agreed.

"Come on Samus we're going to be late." Marth called.

Samus put her helmet under her arm and headed for the door. She opened the door to see Marth there. He wasn't wearing his usual blue uniform but a green one.

"Sorry, had to tighten up my armor."

Marth held out his hand to Samus."Will you allow me to escort you, fair maiden?"

Samus rolled her eyes. "Stop joking."

"I'm being serious, Sam." He kept his hand out. "Someone like you should be escorted."

She hesitated at first but grabbed on anyway. They headed for the stairs and then outside to the stadium. As they went inside they were cut off by Captain Falcon. He was glaring at the two. Samus dropped his hand backed up a small step but Marth stood his ground.

"I thought I told you to stay away from Samus!" He said angrily.

"And I thought I told you I don't care what you say!" Marth snapped back.

"Going around all the time just eyeing my girl and then you kissed her."

Samus' eyes widened. He saw that?

Captain Falcon saw Samus' look and turned to look at her. "Yes, I did see you kiss him. And it looked like to me you enjoyed it because you sure didn't stop."

Samus felt like she had just been shot.

"Yeah," Captain Falcon continued. "This boy here said you didn't love me, and he makes me kind of suspect of you, Sam."

Samus slowly looked at Marth. Marth looked at her too. He knew he shouldn't have said that. Samus was horrified. She was about to crack. Just before she could answer the announcer came on saying Marth vs. Captain Falcon match was up. Samus gasped. Captain Falcon smirked. "You like it? I set it up just for us Marth."

"Sounds great, let's get to it." Forgetting Samus was there, he hurried to the arena with Captain Falcon not far behind.

Samus just stared after them. I can't stay here. I have to get out of here.

Samus ran out of the exit of the stadium. She ran all the way to the edge of the mountain. The wind blew her blonde strands in front of her face. She then peered over the mountain, overlooking what was down below. Down below was a small like river. But there were some sharp rocks down below that would kill her in an instant. She wanted to turn back but stood her ground. It had to be done.

"It's just one drop. I'll jump off and be through with everything and everyone. No more secrets, no more threats. No more Link, No more Zelda, No more… Captain Falcon, and No more… no…"

She couldn't bear to say the last part. Her tears dropped slowly. I can't stand to leave Marth or Link. Link is like an older brother and the only family I have and Zelda's like a little sister to me and so are the pokemon. And Marth. He is so kind to me and if I told him my secret he wouldn't care he would still love me . But I have to leave these memories behind. And this jump will end it all. This jump will free me. She got ready to jump but before she could jump a hand grabbed her roughly and spun her around. She turned to see Link. He looked a little angry with her.

"Samus Aran! Now I know something's wrong with you!" Link tried to catch his breath, from running to stop her.

Samus looked at him wide-eyed. "I thought you went to the stadium."

"I didn't. I chose to stay with Zelda for safety reasons. Why aren't you there?"

Samus turned on him coldly. "It's really none of your concern."

"Well it looks like you were about to take a plunge to your death." Link's panting for breath came to a halt.

"That's right, Link!" Samus snapped back at him. "And don't try to stop me! Now let go of my hand so I can." She didn't mean to sound so cold to him but it was her sadness that made her act that way.

Link didn't let go of her hand. He just walked over to the edge next to her. He looked over it and then back at Samus. "Fine you can jump. But I'm jumping with you."

Samus's anger disappeared. "What? Why would you do that?"

"You're my best friend, Sam. I'm not going to let you die alone." Link said smiling.

"But you haven't done anything that has affected your life for years."

"So? I bet you haven't either and-

Samus cut Link off. "Well "so" is not a good reason, you can't waste your life by just following me around like a dog or something. But if you want to end your life, fine I won't stop you!" She walked even closer to the edge and Link still held onto her hand.

"Okay. Let's go then, Sam."

Samus turned to look at him. Link had the most serious face on that she had ever seen. She thought she would be able to tell he was joking through his eyes but his blue eyes were focused and showed no signs of "I'm joking." in them. Is he serious? Does our friendship mean that much to him? He always says he thinks we're the same since we both were parentless throughout most of our lives. So we should look out for each other like family. Samus had so many questions bundled up in her head. She put one foot off the edge and Link did too. He really will do it. I guess I have no other choice. Samus put her foot back on the ground and edged away from the mountain edge. She then collapsed to the ground and just sat there with Link still holding on to her hand.

Link let go of Samus' hand and sat down next to her. "Change of plans?"

She turned from him. "I'm not going to kill myself just so you'll die for no reason."

Link didn't stop there. "Samus, you need to tell me what's wrong. You can trust me with anything."

Samus turned to him. "You swear you won't tell?"

"Promise."

Smash Stadium

Announcer: We have a great match up today. Marth vs. Captain Falcon!

The crowd started cheering. In the lounge room, all the other smashers watched the match from the big screen.

Roy was talking to Luigi. "Oh yeah. Marth's got this one all wrapped up."

Ganondorf interrupted. "Don't get too confident. Falcon is more experienced then your swordsman buddy."

Peach shushed them both. "Quiet. It's starting!"

Back on the battle arena on Brinstar Depths Marth and Falcon were getting into fighting position.

The Announcer spoke again. "Ready …. GO!

Marth and C.F charged at each other and fist clashed with sword.


"The truth is Link, Captain Falcon has a hold on me for something in the past."

"Something in the past?" Link repeated.


Captain Falcon backed up to let Marth miss swinging his sword. After Marth missed, he ran up to him and grabbed him by the collar and threw him. Marth regained his balance after falling down.

Falcon charged at him again, but this time Marth slashed him with his sword and he was sent back a distance.


"After the fourth year for staying at this mansion, Captain Falcon had started following me around. I tried to plead with him to leave but he just kept following me." Samus stopped to remember that day. Link patiently waited for her to continue. "Well he followed me for a day which eventually turned into weeks. He kept trying to ask me out on a date but I would always turn him down as you know, Link. But then that horrible day happened."


Marth was pretty beat up and Falcon was too. But tired as he was, Marth charged at Falcon. Falcon punched Marth in the stomach and he fell to his knees.

Captain Falcon smirked. "You should prepare for your defeat. And when you do lose you better not show your face around Samus again."

Marth growled in anger. "No chance, Falcon."

With a great lunge Marth pushed Captain Falcon over the edge with him also falling too. Luckily the platform part of Brinstar Depths was down there and they both fell on top of the platform. One more drop and it would all be over.

"This is it, Falcon!"

Falcon grinned evilly."So long, Marth."

Captain Falcon got ready for his ultimate attack and Marth got ready for his.


"I had a mission in outer space to save a planet. I was flying there and when it was in reach I tried to press my landing button only to press my eclipse missile trigger on accident."

"Eclipse missle?" Link knew about the missile when Samus showed him her ship one time.

Samus' horrible memories came back of that day. "It fired and as I told you its unstoppable and when it reached the planet it exploded."

Link's heart sank when he saw Samus looked at him sadly. "Link, I killed thousands of people! All of them innocent."

Samus put her head down and continued. "I was so scared and horrified I flew away as fast as I could. When I got back, I told everyone that when I got there that the person I was suppose to hunt down already destroyed the planet before I could get there. They believed me and I thought I got away with it."

Link stared at Samus even though she wasn't looking. I've never seen her so emotional like this. The usual cocky and never show any emotion Sam has really changed. I thought she never has problems like these. And I would always to complain to her about my problems. She had worse. I've been so selfish and never thought about how she was doing.

"But then," Samus spoke again. "I saw Captain Falcon again. But he wasn't there trying to ask me out. He knew what I did. He happened to have a race near that planet and he noticed my ship. And that's when he had me."

"That's when he forced you to be his girlfriend."

Samus looked up. "I thought you left me already. I thought you already left to call the police."

Link hugged Samus. "Come on, Bounty Girl. You know me better than that. Sam I'm so sorry."

Samus was a bit confused. "Why are you sorry?"

"I never thought about your feelings. No one is suffering like you are. And I failed to notice that. Sorry, Sam."

Samus placed her head on Link's shoulder. "Thank you Link. I knew I should have told you earlier because I knew you would understand. But right now I'm glad that I did."


Falcon did his Falcon Punch thinking Marth would do his sword move but he didn't. Instead Marth countered Captain Falcon's attack sending him back a few pegs. And then Marth did do his move to Captain Falcon with the tip of his sword making him fall off the arena and making him lose the Match. Marth got up and walked over to the announcer. The announcer held up his hand. "Captain Falcon fell off the arena making Marth the Winner!"

The crowd cheered and Marth smiled with pride.

Hospital Wing

Zelda awoke from her long sleep. She looked at her surroundings. She was still in the hospital wing. "But I thought that he grabbed me and took me out of here. Maybe I was dreaming but I want to tell Link about that dream anyway."

Zelda checked the whole mansion. No one was in sight. "Where is everybody? Maybe they're at the stadium. We usually have fights at night."

Zelda ran outside to the stadium. Link and Samus failed to notice her run by. But she was at a far distance.

Samus let go of Link and sighed. "There's more."

"More? I have to get even more emotional."

Samus chuckled at Link's small joke. "You're such a guy with you stupid manly traits."

Link laughed. "Now there's the mean Samus I know and remember."

Samus smiled. "And it looks like you're back to your rude self."

"But anyway I found out the day when Zelda was thrown in that pool who the person was. It was the same person who attacked Mario and Master Hand and the same guy who tried to poison Roy and try to kill you Link."

"I know already, Sam. It was Captain Falcon."

Smasher Stadium

"Congratulations Marth!" Peach said when she, Roy and Young Link caught up with him.

"I was behind you 100 percent."Roy said giving Marth a high-five.

"Thanks guys." Marth replied. He looked around and Peach noticed.

"Who are you looking for?"

Marth turned to Peach with frustrated eyes. "I was hoping to see Samus here. But I don't see her anywhere. Guess she went to check on Captain Falcon."

Peach gave a small hmph. "I don't know what she sees in that birdbrain."

Zelda came running in. "Link's not here." She looked and saw the others. "But maybe they know where he is."

Marth turned to see Zelda running to them. He smiled. "Hey Zelda, you're awake."

Peach turned and sighed in relief. "Oh you're okay." Peach hugged Zelda. "It's good to see you Peach."

"We thought you would never wake up. You've been out of it for three days." Roy said walking over to them.

Zelda gasped. "Three days? What happened?"

Marth and Roy told them the whole story. Zelda sighed. "So it wasn't a dream. It really did happen. Guys, do you know where Link is?"

Young Link walked over to her. "Good someone else notices besides me. He wasn't even in the mansion all day."

Roy thought for a moment. "You're right, he wasn't."

Marth looked at Zelda. "Samus is missing too. I hope they're together wherever they are."

Zelda turned to everyone. "I wanted to tell Link as well, but I'll tell you guys. I know who that guy is who had been causing these attacks. It was Captain Falcon."

Everyone gasped.

Peach eyes were shocked. "I don't believe it!"

Young Link got worried. "What if he's behind the mystery of where Samus and big bro are?"

Marth panicked. "We have to do something. We have to-

"You're a little too late." Said a voice over the speaker.

All the doors of the stadium closed. The smashers were locked in.

"All of you have fallen into my trap."

There was a hissing sound. The smashers gasped to see gas enter the stadium. They tried not to inhale it but did and all of them fell unconscious.

Captain Falcon appeared out in the battle arena to see everyone out cold.

He cackled. "Their lives will end soon."

A/N: Oooh. A trap has been set for the smashers and they've all been caught. Will Link and Samus find out before it's too late? Can't tell ya. One more chapter. Until then Review Please. Adios!
