AN- Well, almost there! That wonderful and beautiful 40 review mark! Whoever ends up being lucky number 40 will receive a cash prize and a random "Super Smash Bros." Plush stuffed toy! (Not as advertised). But seriously, we're almost there! We're coming towards the end of the preliminary rounds, and the tension is really heating up as people scream in outrage as pokemon die, and beg disgustingly for Ness to win. It could be anyone's game (Except for Pikachu's. It's dead.) While I won't use up space to name names, I would like to thank everyone who has been reviewing to this point. I'm trying my best to read everyone's stuff when I get a review, but it's difficult to get to everyone at once. So if there is something anyone would like me to take a look at, please feel free to tell me in your review, and hopefully I'll eventually get to everyone. Anyway, on with the fight.

Dungeon five, The Lizard- Hyrule- 10:18PM

Young Link (From now on, he will be referred to simply as Link, but he is the young one. Don't get confused) sat down on the floor, his breathing heavy and irregular. He had just managed to defeat a whole room full of Keese, and while they weren't very powerful, their speed had left him out of breath. Stupid bats!... Those fangs look small, but man do they hurt….. Kinda like me, I guess. Link snapped out of his grumbling, and looked at the treasure chest that had appeared. He took a deep breath and stood up. He walked over to the chest and hit the lock with his sword. The lock gave way, and Link swung open the lid. He looked in, and discovered…

"A flute?" Link said out loud. In every chest so far, he had found bombs, or a bow, or arrows. The flute was a new one. He picked it up, almost entranced by it's simplicity. He blew the dust off of it, and went to put it to his mouth. Something in the back of his head was screaming at him, warning him of the health dangers involved in putting his lips to something that had been in a dank cavern for so long, but he simply shrugged and began to play.

A strange light flashed throughout the room, and before Link knew what was happening, a tornado appeared out of nowhere and sucked him in, bringing him to lands unknown.

The outskirts of Onett- Earth- 11:05 PM

In a different part of the Nintendoverse, another young boy was having a very bad evening. Seconds ago, he had been abducted by aliens.

Ness sat up, and looked at his holding cell. He assumed it was a cell, seeing as how there were bars, and also a small uncomfortable cot. The only real thing that made Ness wonder, was that someone had left the door wide open. No one was guarding the place either, so Ness decided anything was better than sitting in a cell, and set off to explore his new surroundings.

I wonder who brought me here….

Meanwhile, in the cockpit……

"Okay, I got the boy." The third ghost cheerfully exclaimed.

"So, you actually did something right for once?"

#3 nodded. The first ghost shook his head. "You are an idiot. Did you at least remember to keep his cell door open, so he would escape?"

#3 nodded again. Then his attention turned to the control panel. "Wow! These controls look awesome! Where'd ya get this thing, anyway?"

#1 looked down in shame. "We…uh… we kinda borrowed it."

Mars-Milky Way- 11:06 PM

Two aliens sat on the lisp of a crater, unsure of what had exactly happened. They had felt a slight breeze, and then the eject seats had malfunctioned, sending them crashing onto this barren planet. The strange thing was, after they had fallen out, the accelerator must have malfunctioned too, because it sped off for earth right after. The bigger alien sighed. "It's your turn." The smaller life form got up, walked away from the crater, and stuck it's thumb out, hoping for someone to come by and pick them up.

"This sucks."

Back on the Ufo…..

The second ghost walked into the cockpit and smiled. "Well, everything is set. I rewired the tornado from Hyrule to drop the little hero off on top of this craft. He should be arriving any second."

# 1 grinned. "Good. Let the show begin…."

Back with our hero…

Ness had worked his way through the strange new place he had found himself in, with no resistance at all. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Up ahead, the corridor led to a ladder, and the ladder went up and ended with a hatch. Next to the ladder was a sign that said "salvation this way", with an arrow pointing up. Ness stopped for a moment, unsure of how good an idea it would be to follow the sign. This seems almost too easy…… Oh well. Easy is good. He shrugged and went up the ladder.

He climbed the ladder, which led him to the hood (think of it in terms of a car). Nothing could have prepared him for the sight that awaited him. The buildings of fourside were whizzing by below him at an incredible speed. Ness looked around, unsure of what to do next. From seemingly nowhere, a tornado formed and slowed down, dropping a young boy clad in green rather harshly on the floor. He sat up, rubbing his butt and grumbling to himself.

Ness gave him a lopsided look. "Who are you?"

Link returned the stare. "I could ask you the same thing. Where am I?"

The two boys stared at each other for several minutes, and the light of realization struck them both at the same time.

"This is all your fault!" They screamed in unison.

Link gave Ness a dirty look. "Whatdya mean, my fault! You had that stupid whirlwind drop me here!"

"Me? You abducted me from my bed with this stupid spaceship!"

Link drew his sword. "I don't even own a spaceship! You're just trying to confuse me!"

Ness pulled out his bat. "I think you're the phony one here!"

They both dashed at each other. Sword and bat clashing time and time again as both combatants tried to gain ground. The ship's unsteady movements and the slippery surface made this harder than it looked. Realizing he wasn't getting anywhere, Link jumped back and aimed with his bow.

Ness concentrated, and right before the arrow hit him, he let out a scream. "Psi- Flash!!!" (That's right, Psi. Not PK. I don't know why they use the term PK. It was Psi in Earthbound, so Psi it shall be.) The psychic explosion shattered the arrow, sending pieces of wood flying everywhere.

Link jumped back to avoid the green energy, and pulled out a bomb. He lit the fuse and laughed. Let's see him try that again! He'll be blown to bits! Link threw the bomb at Ness, but a quick veer to the left by the UFO caused it to roll behind the psychic boy. Right before the explosion, Ness threw up an energy shield. "Psi Shield!" The force field took the brunt of the fire, but it still sent Ness rocketing towards Link.

Without any other alternative, Link threw up his shield. The was a loud 'CLANG!' sound as Ness's head and Link's shield met at high speed. Ness rolled to the ground, his head throbbing. Link laughed, figuring he had won the fight. Much to his surprise, Ness simply said "Psi Lifeup". Several sparkles rained down upon him, and he stood up, good as new again.

Enough was enough. Link took out his slingshot, and pulled back a Deku nut. It shot off with great speed, but Ness was faster. He hit the seed like a baseball with his bat, and the projectile came back faster than before at the one who shot it. It found it's mark in between Link's eyes.

Link stumbled backwards, more stunned than anything. Ness took advantage of his opponents break in concentration and pulled out his yo-yo. The yo-yo rolled underneath Link, and Ness gave a tug, making it jump up, knocking Link into the air. Ness cocked back with his bat, and smashed Link off into the sky. He nodded with a smile, and set off to find a way back to his bed in near Onett.

AN- Wow, sorry this chapter took so long. Finals and millions of papers have been cluttering my schedule. But luckily, I have a break between semesters, so I should be able to get some serious work done on all my fanfics. Well, I hope so, anyways. With this chapter, I tried to keep the characters closer to their original counterparts, as their representation in SSBM kinda messed things up a bit (Young Link didn't have the fire bow or the boomerang, and Ness didn't have PSI Fire OR Thunder, OR Magnet).As always, be sure to let me know what you think, I love hearing from everyone!
