Chapter 3: Power Test

"It's-a had been a great-a day! I was able to cook-a lots of my-a pasta! How is your-a day, Bowser?" asked Mario.

"Shh! Can't you see I'm watching TV here!" said Bowser.

"You are now watching Bunny Bugs GX!" shouted the host.

The TV is showing Bugs Bunny in buff form against Elmza Fudd.

"He… there's no escape, wabbit!" yelled Elmza Fudd.

"We'll see about that!" replied Bugs Bunku.

The TV shows lots a fighting and energy blasts. Bowser was into such action.

"Bowser! It's time to go!"

"Okay, we'll go. Right after this."

Mario sighed. Bowser was really addicted to that TV. So Bowser was late to class.

"What do you mean I have to stay here during lunch time? This is a university," argued Bowser.

"Remember what I said. This is no ordinary university, its run like a high school," said Mr. Strength.

"So you're saying we're repeating high school?" asked Bowser.

"Heck no! This is a university."

"But you said its run high school style. So we're repeating high school again!"

"No, you're not!"

"But you said…"

"Look. I didn't come up with this idea. Mr. Game and Watch did."

"Tell him he's stupid!"

Mr. Strength grew silent and then told Bowser to go to his seat.

Suddenly, the microphone sounded, "Attention, please! We have an announcement to make. Teachers, please send all students to the auditorium for a power test. One more thing! Megaman, please report to the office… again! Thank you for your patience, please. And have a great game!"

"Sabin, what's a power test?" asked Bowser.

"I heard some students talk about it. They say it's a test where you get to try out your powers. Then they will test your characteristics and personality. This will tell you if you're a hero, a villain, or a NPC," replied Sabin.

"Wow! When will they rank you?"

"I don't know. Maybe next year or something."

So, all the students went to the auditorium for a power check. All game characters needs to have a power.

Mr. Power shows up on the stage and said, "Okay, students! Welcome to the ultimate test of your life. This test will tell you if you should become a hero, a villain, or a NPC. You must try with all your effort for this test is very important. You cannot fail this test, even if you have nothing to show us. However, if we determined that you cannot be a hero, a villain, or a NPC, you will be deleted. Good chances are that you will be deleted with a chance of .047. Now let the test begin!"

All students lined up for the test and there were 1,000 queue lines in the auditorium.

"Hey, Bowser!" yelled Samus.

"Hey, Samus. Have you seen Mario or Genis?" asked Bowser.

"Didn't see Mario, but Genis is with DK and Jack."

"Oh. Well, I'll go lined up with Sabin."

"Won't you line up with me and Genis?"

"Nah, I'll go with Sabin. By the way, who's Jack?"

"I don't know. He's like some guy with a pitch fork."

"Oh. Well, see ya!"

"Later!"

Bowser went to the line where Sabin is in.

"Hey, Sabin!" said Bowser.

"Hey!" replied Sabin.

"So what high school you're from?"

"I came from the Final High School. How about yours?"

"Well, Power High."

Mr. Leader shouted, "Next!"

"At least the line is moving…" said Sabin.

"Yeah… slowly," included Bowser.

They laugh for awhile, and then stop. It took hours for Bowser to be next until…

Mr. Leader shouted, "Next!"

"Well, Sabin. Good luck."

Sabin went to the power zone.

"Okay. Now tell me what's your power?" asked Mr. Leader.

"Well, I'm a master at martial arts."

"Well, let's see."

Sabin went to fighting stance and preparing to form a blitz technique.

"Ready? PUMMEL!" shouted Sabin.

He punched the dummy in the power zone many times.

"That's great, but I expect a little more… intense power."

"Let's see then…"

Sabin went to blitz form again.

"Prepare to be amazed! BUM RUSH!"

To the effects of that attack, Sabin runs circular around the dummy, doing many attacks which to be painful. Mr. Leader and Bowser were amazed.

"Wow! Incredible! We'll let you see your results in the second semester, okay?"

"Okay and thanks!"

Sabin left the zone to see Bowser in action.

"Next!" shouted Mr. Leader.

Bowser stepped into the power zone.

"Ah, Bowser! One of my students in second period. Now let us see what you can do."

And so Bowser breathes fire to the dummy and do all sorts of attacks with his claws and his spike shell to it.

"Is that all you can do, Bowser?"

"Hold on… give me a minute here," said Bowser.

Bowser went inside his shell and rolled like wheel, breathing fire. (It's like a flaming wheel, too bad they didn't put that in SSBM.)

Sabin and Mr. Leader were impressed and complimented, "Impressive!" (I would be impressed, too!)

"Uhh… thanks, I guess…" said Bowser.

"We'll let you see…"

"I know, I know! Next semester, I get it!" said Bowser.

Bowser left the auditorium with Sabin to the lunch court.

"Remember, Bowser. Mr. Strength gives…"

"Don't worry! I think he'll forget about it! After what I said to him about this university."

"Hey, turtle man!" shouted DK.

Bowser and Sabin glance at him at the same time.

"Look, Genis and Samus told me that you're a good guy."

"Well, yeah! Of course!" replied Bowser.

"But that doesn't mean ya be one of my friends!" said DK.

"But why?" asked Bowser.

"Look, I'll give you a test. See my buddy here, Jack?" asked DK.

Jack looked shy, staring at a group.

Bowser observed at him and said, "Uh... yeah. Well, he looks sad, has brown hair, and… lets see. I see him as a timid person. Um, maybe he could use some donuts. Or maybe pasta. I think he should deserve a trophy. How about a medal? By the looks of it, he's rather a farming boy or something…"

"Hey! That's my friend you're talking about!" shouted DK.

"Hey! You told me to take a look at him!"

"Quiet, people! Talking is not the answer!" yelled Sabin.

"Um… don't you mean violence is not the answer?" asked Genis

Sabin explained, "That's where you're wrong! You see, talking won't get you anywhere. You will only hear gibberish from such conflict with only talking. It will only sound like it's an insulting contest. For violence, the two people will have to fight in order to get somewhere. So whoever is the victor of the fight, it shows who is superior and who is lame. And I always do…"

"SHUT UP, ALREADY!" shouted DK, "All I'm just trying to do is to test ya if you can be trusted!"

"Well, why didn't you say so? So what's the favor?" asked Bowser.

"I want you to find a date for Jack," said DK.

"Uh… Look I'm not actually good…"

"Hey, me too!"

"So why don't you…"

"No! That's the only way for me to trust ya!"

"But…"

"Sorry, but my homie, Jack, has been quiet for two months. I just want to make him less nervous, so I think dating would cheer him."

"Aw man… Genis, help me out here!"

"Sorry, but I'm just a kid," replied Genis.

"But I thought you were a midget?"

"Stop joking around, Bowser."

"No, really."

Genis went silent and ignored him.

"Samus?"

"I don't know much about dating. But I can tell him what girls like," replied Samus.

"Good! Sabin?"

"I'm a fighter, not a miracle worker! But maybe Celia would help," answered Sabin.

"Ce… Celia?" said Jack.

DK and Genis were surprised to see Jack talk and said, "Wow, he finally talks!"

"Um… yeah. Maybe Celia could help," said Bowser.

"No! I can't accept that!" yelled Jack.

"But why?" asked Bowser.

"It's just that… I don't know. I'm just kind of shy around her. But I don't like her!"

"… He likes her," said the whole group.

"No, I don't!" argued Jack.

"Hey-a, guys!" said Mario.

Mario just came from the auditorium.

"Where were you? I've been looking over for you!" shouted Bowser.

"Well, umm… I just took-a the test. That's-a all," replied Mario.

"Which line?"

"The 800th something line."

"Hmph. I took the 12th line. No wonder."

"Enough! So ya wanna get Celia to like Jack or not?" shouted DK.

"Can Mario help me?" asked Bowser.

"I can-a prepare pasta for Jack's date in my-a restaurant," said Mario.

"You own a restaurant?"

"Of course-a, I do! Does-a Mario Bros. Pasta Delights ring-a you a bell?"

"Oh, oh ya! I remember now!" said Bowser. (Bowser does not remember.)

"So can Mario and Samus help me?"

"Sure!" agreed DK.

"Great!"

"Wait! I can tutor Jack to make him smarter!" said Genis.

"Yeah! I heard Celia really love smart people! I can also tell you what other things Celia adores," said Sabin.

"So it's settled! Bowser, ya will make Jack prepared for the date with Celia with the aid of Genis, Samus, Mario, and Sabin. Good luck!" declared DK.

"Thanks! So why don't we start tomorrow, after class?" Bowser said.

"Um… okay, sure," answered Jack. (Man, how did Jack get into these messes?)

"YEAH!" yelled the group.

And so the gang, including Sabin, has got a job to do.
