I moodily descended the stairs, accompanied by Kirby. We hadn't been working too well lately. I had a match today, that might take my mind off things. The Ice Climbers had dropped out mysteriously, so I couldn't talk to them at breakfast, and one of my opponents was gone. I was originally fighting Roy and Peach, but Peach had been switched for Donkey Kong. I was fighting alongside Captain Falcon.
Kirby stayed with me for part of breakfast before getting up to talk with DK and Roy. I flared up.
I could tell what had been going on, and lately Kirby had been hanging out with the older group, trying to get info… and getting it. Now it was my turn to be clued in.
I drifted high over the procession, eventually landing within earshot of them. DK was talking.
"…little ones have to leave the tournament, for their safety."
"I agree," Kirby said. "All of them are gone, really, except…"
"…for Jigglypuff," Roy said significantly. "We'll do our best."
"Good," he said. "I don't want to hurt her… but she has to leave the tournament. She'll be hurt otherwise."
DK nodded miserably. "We'll try to make it quick."
I was struck by a barrage of emotion. I didn't need this kind of protecting… or did I? Were they helping… or trying to monopolize the tournament?
I was called to my match, but if I happened to survive by any chance I would certainly be confronting Kirby. I would fight. This tournament was my choice, and nobody would make a decision for me for me to leave.
I stood beside Captain Falcon. The two conspirators stood next to each other on the other side. We were on the racing cars of Mute City, a dreary metropolis. I was used to the bright colors of my world, and my eyes naturally picked out my bright opponents.
Begin!
DK went for me, attempting to clap me between his hands. I took in a deep breath, inflating myself as much as possible. His hands hit me, but bounced right off. I let out my breath, spiraling like a balloon out of reach. I winked at him. He was temporarily dumbfounded.
His mistake. Captain Falcon slid in with a fiery kick and knocked him right off of his feet. Roy was about to reach me, though. I was smashed away by his sword, but recovered. With his next swing, I sidestepped. The blade was embedded in the platform. I ducked between his legs, grabbed his cape, and pulled.
He did not let go of the sword, and it was pulled out of the ground. Then he released it, spun out of control by the flip I had sent him into. The sword flew right into a F-Zero car. It careened into about five others, creating a colossal explosion. Roy was almost certainly down for the count, being charred by the fiery detonation.
Captain Falcon was hit by DK's fist and fell backward. The big ape picked him up and dropkicked him right into Roy. The flying Captain transitioned into an aerial kick, definitely defeating the swordsman. He flew off the course directly into the next wave of cars.
Captain Falcon came back toward me, stepped off of my partially inflated body, and was propelled high into the air. DK's eyes followed him, and I socked the monkey in the gut. He was barely injured, throwing me off of him. Then Captain Falcon landed on him, grabbing fistfuls of DK's hair and sending fire through him.
Donkey Kong was blasted away, bowling me over. I struggled for leverage, barely pulling myself up. The ape rushed at Captain Falcon again, in a rage, and gave him a kick like a cannon. Falcon was gone.
I then realized, the sadness… in that swift move, Donkey Kong had just ended Captain Falcon's involvement in this struggle, his place in the tournament. In rage, I dashed at DK and inflated myself as much as possible. My body became rock-hard with air pressure. I dropped on him. As he came back toward me, I let out all the air, throwing him off the stage on a massive air current.
I had won. It would take more than my treacherous boyfriend, a monkey and a swordsman to take me.
