Master Hand restated "Yes, It is now time for our third match. Let's see who will be fighting this round. The first fighter will be…Dr. Mario."
Everyone looked at Dr. Mario and he was looking happy. Crazy Hand announced "And the second fighter will be…Peach!"
Mario gasped and Peach's eyes widened. Mario thought "No! This Dr. Mario character might be me from another dimension, but I don't think he knows us."
Peach said "Oh no, I didn't want to fight this early. It looks like I will be going back to our dimension sooner than I thought."
Crazy Hand said "And-"
Master Hand interrupted "And they will be fighting on Brinstar, which is on Planet Zebes."
Crazy Hand said "The match will begin soon; Master Hand and Crazy Hand must talk about something before this match."
Samus walked over to Mario and Peach, but Mario went in front of Peach and put his hand in front of him and said "What do you want?"
Samus realized they must have thought she was a bad guy with her armor. She took off her helmet to reveal a beautiful woman. She said "I don't mean to harm you. I just wanted to let you know that I know about Brinstar…and it's no easy place to fight. I just wanted to warn you guys."
Mario frowned and mumbled "Thanks,"
Samus said "Sorry about the bad news. Oh I forgot, my name is Samus Aran. What's yours?"
Peach answered "I'm Princess Peach and he is Mario."
Samus said while putting on her helmet "Well, good luck in your fight, Peach!"
Then Samus walked away and Peach told Mario "I am going to go talk to Luigi about this, I am sure he wants to know."
Mario replied "Ya ok."
Peach walked away and Mario sat under a tree and thought "What am I suppose to do? That Dr. Mario is going to hurt her and I have to watch ever second of it! I can't do anything to stop him from hurting her."
Samus walked back over to Mario and asked "So what are you going to do?"
Mario looked up at her and shook his head. He could tell her eyes were widening when he shook his head. Samus told him "Didn't you come up with a plan at all?"
Mario had tears in his eyes and shook his head again. Samus mentioned while walking away "You and Dr. Mario look exactly the same, if you had his clothes, everyone would think you are Dr. Mario."
Mario thought for a second, and came up with a plan to save Peach. He thought "This must have been Samus's plan all along."
Dr. Mario was walking around in the forest; he was alone because he didn't know anyone here. Dr. Mario thought "All I have to do is beat a woman named Peach and I saw what she looked like, so she doesn't look like the fighting type. This match will be easy, I may be a doctor, but I have a degree in kicking a-"
Dr. Mario stopped thinking about that when he heard a noise from a bush. He went closer to the bush, then forgot about it and walked away. Dr. Mario thought "After I beat this match, I will have to beat the rest of those fighters to get my wish."
Mario got out of the bush he was hiding in and followed Dr. Mario some more. Mario began to run quietly to get to him. He was almost right behind him and then Dr. Mario stopped. Mario got right behind him and put his right hand in front of him and Dr. Mario pleaded "Please, don't hurt me! What do you want?"
Mario smiled and said "Your identity,"
Mario made fire come from his hand and the fire went straight to Dr. Mario's head. The doctor screamed in pain and then Mario hit him in the side of the head. The doctor fell unconscious and Mario apologized "I am sorry for what I did, but this must be done."
Mario looked around to see no one is around here and took the Doctor's clothes off until he was only in his underwear. Mario got the doctor's outfit and took off his clothes and put the doctor's clothes on. Mario dug a small hole and put his clothes in there. He filled the hole and went back to the area everyone was at.
After a while, Master Hand's voice announced "Ok, we are ready for the battle to begin."
Mario in the doctor's outfit saw Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi waiting for something, and then Luigi asked "Where is Mario?"
Peach answered "I think he is sad that I have to fight…I just wish I could have said goodbye to him."
Master Hand announced "Let's begin."
Mario and Peach were transported to Brinstar and they were amazed to see what it looks like. Samus was right when she said this place was dangerous. There was lava beneath them and three small platforms in the air. Mario was going to say something to Peach, but he couldn't because Peach was right in front of him and slapped him. Mario shouted "You'll pay for that!"
Mario was about to shoot a fireball from his hand, but realized that would make every noticed that it was Mario. He put his hand in his pocket and found some vitamins and he took a bunch out. Mario thought "What do I need with these?" and he threw them at Peach. Peach tried to dodge, but she couldn't and got hit by them. Mario realized that this must have been an attack that doctor had. He threw some more and realized the princess was in pain.
He stopped and went closer to her; he asked "Are you ok?"
Peach answered "Yes, how about you?"
She grabbed a vegetable from the ground and threw it at Mario. It bounced off of him and she got up and grabbed it and threw it at him again. He got hit and she grabbed the vegetable again and threw it. This time Mario caught it and squeezed his hand so hard it broke the vegetable. He saw a ball on the ground and grabbed it. He didn't know what to do with it so he threw it on the ground. The poke ball unleashed a creature and it was a dragon-like creature called Charizard. It breathed fire at Peach and her dress caught on fire.
Charizard disappeared and Mario went over to Peach and saw her dress was on fire, but only on the bottom part. Mario screamed "Drop to the ground and roll around!" and Peach fell to the ground and rolled around on the ground. The fire was gone and Peach said "Thanks, but why did you do that?"
Mario ran at her and tackled her to the ground. Mario said "Listen, I am not Dr. Mario, this is the Mario from Mushroom Kingdom with Luigi and Yoshi and all those others."
Peach then asked "Then why were you fighting me?"
Mario answered "I wanted the fight to look real. And the reason I tackled you is because I wanted to talk to you without the people watching us talk. Now, we need fight for a while."
Peach asked "I just have one question, how are the both of us suppose to go back to the field if we are fighting?"
Mario realized this and didn't answer. Mario got up and the two fought again. Mario thought "How am I supposed to get Peach back there if I want to go back? Samus's plan didn't work!"
Mario looked at Peach and whispered "The winner will go back." And they battle again, but this time for real.
Samus watched as Mario was battling Peach. She knew he had the doctor's outfit because she gave him that idea. She looked around to see everyone watching the battles. She walked away and went into the forest.
She knew he must have knocked out Dr. Mario in the forest, but where exactly. She looked down and saw a hole that just recently got dirt put back in it. She dug and found Mario's clothes.
"Dr. Mario must be around here somewhere." She thought looking around, and then she saw him on the ground in his underwear. She gave a small laugh and then said "Looks like my plan will work."
