Guns and Swords
VII
The Second Fight
In the depths of The Crazy Castle a pit of lava was bubbling away five hundred feet below a couple of losers. They had been hung there, by their feet, in a place where anyone who cared to could drop by and laugh at them. Either that or throw things…
"You morons! I bet $100 on you!" A purple, stalk eyed alien yelled at Fox and Falco. He then proceeded to throw a couple of tomatoes at them until he got bored. He then walked off.
"How did we get here?" Falco asked rhetorically.
"Well, first we were born, and then we became pilots, and then…"
"I didn't mean it that way! Oh, never mind."
Ping!
"And that's what we have on Tourney Talk. Now we will be getting to the second round, Commander Keen vs. Sheik! What can we get on these two?" Troy announced.
"While, after a little research, I have found out that both of these characters are alter egos. Sheik is Zelda of the Legend of Zelda games. Commander Keen is really Billy, who, after putting on his brother's football helmet, transforms into the defender of the universe. Sheik's main weapon is needles that are shot forward at the target character. Keen's is a blaster that can be set to different powers of blast: Stun, Kill, and Deep Fry. Similar in ways, but different in others." Chlöe informed the crowd.
"Thanks Chlöe. The fighters will be fighting at Great Bay. This is Troy Isaacs, up in the GoodYear Blimp, which is the official sponsor of the Guns and Swords Tournament!"
Ping!
"Boss, the police are here. They said something about taking your tournament off all of the television channels."
"Blow em' to bits."
Ping!
The fighters were in their starting positions on. They had gotten the same speech that Fox, Falco, Marth and Roy had gone through. It wouldn't have mattered anyway. They were both ready to fight. Keen had come voluntarily and Shiek was about ready to beat the crap out of anybody. It was going to be a hell of a fight.
"Five… Four… Three… Two… One… GO!" The Crazy Hand shouted.
Sheik immediately teleported onto a palm tree, where she then charged up two needles before she was knocked off by a pogo stick move by Keen. She was thrown onto the turtle but quickly regained her balance and fired her needles. Keen managed to dodge the first one but the other hit dead on. He was thrown into the water and, as some of you may know, it is next to impossible to get back on to the stage on this level. Keen life two, Shiek three.
"Ouch, that was an amazingly short time for the first K.O. to happen. Keen better get a good strategy soon, or he's history."
Fortunately for him, Keen had. He used his pogo stick to jump onto the turtle, fired three shots at Shiek, jumped down onto a platform and fired again. This was working against Shiek and she was soon very close to the edge with a percent of 110.
Ping!
The captive Smashers had made a hole five feet in diameter and seven feet deep. They were about to give up when…
Thunk!
Ness looked up from where he was dozing.
"What was that? Have we hit something?"
"Jiggly!"
"Pika pi!"
"Yes! Now we've got to break the pipe so we can all get through. Okay. We need the best non-physical attack. Ready? One, two, three!"
Boom!
Ping!
Wham!
Shiek hit Keen with a double kick that sent him sprawling. She jumped down to get another hit on him, only to be repelled by Keen's blaster. The shot sent her flying onto the turtle who at that moment decided to sink. Keen lives two, Shiek two also.
"Oh, darn, that was complete luck that she lost a life."
"Yes it was, wasn't it Troy. Oh, and look, the first item's falling!"
It was a lip's stick, one of the least effective blunt weapons, but still not bad.
Keen leaped for it, but Sheik's whip caught his leg in the air and pulled him back towards her. Keen, thinking quickly, grabbed his blaster and fired, but this proved useless, for Sheik was now twisting him around, slamming him into the platform above and then off the platform and into the water. This time he managed to get back up, taking Sheik by surprise as he fired shot after shot into her.
Boom!
"What was that?" Troy asked, trying to see through the smoke that now filled the arena.
Bonk!
When the smoke cleared, there was Sheik, standing on a palm tree, holding the lipstick. Keen was below her, with a percent 30 higher than it had previously, and a look that said, "I have no more idea of what happened here than you do". And sprouting out of his helmet was a flower.
"What the… let's figure out what happened here. There was Sheik getting hit by Keen's blaster, and then she must have teleported backward, grabbed the lip's stick, teleported forward, hit Keen with the weapon, and then teleported up. That's a guess people but I'd say it's the best so far."
"Yeah right, Troy."
Actually Troy was closer to the truth than most would have thought. Shiek had teleported backwards and picked up the lip's stick. But she had not teleported forward. Instead she had shot a needle at Keen and then jumped forward, and hit Keen with the flower twice. She had teleported to the palm tree and had knocked Keen back a few feet. But, needless to say, no one believed Troy. To this day it's thought that Sheik has a secret attack that creates smoke screens.
Anyway, Keen had a percent of 135, and it was steadily rising. It was near K.O. time, and he knew it. He quickly pogoed up to the palm tree opposite of Sheik and fired off his blaster. Sheik immediately shielded. When the hail stopped, she unshielded, only to be met in a head butt from Keen. It was a good hit and it sent Sheik's percent soaring to 180. He then pogo-sticked onto Sheik, who was trying to get up. Keen fired his blaster down at her, raising her percent to 205. But his was now on 174, and it was soon going to be K.O. time for either of them. Sheik finally managed to get him off her only to be shot at once again. She teleported, but this time Keen anticipated the move and jumped straight up into her, knocking her out of the ring, making Keen ahead by one.
The item was a party ball. Not all too useful, but it might give you some good items every now and then. The party ball set down onto the palm tree, which was closest to Sheik.
"This one's mine again!" She shouted at Keen, jumping off toward it. The thing about Sheik is that she is amazingly fast and reasonably hard to hit. This made it hard for Keen to connect, and in no time Sheik had the party ball in her hands.
"Ha! Loser." She said as she threw the thing at him. Shiek obviously did not know how to use it, for it won't do any damage if thrown at someone. The party ball landed on him, but then rose up and flashed red.
Keen, being reasonably smart, jumped out of the way as four bob-ombs dropped down from the party ball.
"That sucks." Sheik said dully. She was charging up her needles when Keen pounded into her with his pogo stick. She was thrown off the palm tree and onto (Guess!) the bob-ombs, which had just started moving.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheik, needless to say, was knocked out instantly.
Keen won, with two lives and a percent of 245.
"And the winner… Commander Keen!!!!! Don't for get to join us in five minutes for Tourney Talk. This is Troy Isaacs, and this is Guns and Swords!"
Ping!
Boom!
"That's it! We're through!" Ness shouted. "Let's go." he said, jumping through the hole in the pipe.
"Roawrow!"
They were walking down the pipe when suddenly….
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! We're walking through a sea of Piranha plants!" Mario shouted, jumping onto Ness's head, who was trying to hold together what dignity he had left.
"Oh, for crying out loud!" He shouted, knocking Mario off him. "They're only the size of my fist!"
"ROOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR"
"That one isn't" Mario said jumping onto Yoshi and riding off the other way.
"Come on, we can take it. Who's with me?" Ness shouted. He looked around. There was no one left standing behind him.
"ROOOAAAAAR"
"Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeee!"
