Princess Peach's Castle- Mushroom Kingdom- 7:45PM

Peach sat at her throne, looking down at the two ghosts who had requested her audience.

"So let me get this straight. I have to fight another battle?"

The first ghost nodded. "The kids are loving this tournament."

The second ghost coughed. "Well, except for the guys who like the Pokemon..."

The first ghost sighed. "Well, yes, everyone except them..."

Another cough from the second ghost. "And... and the people who liked Roy..."

"Oh yes, the Roy fans as well..."

The second ghost hung his head. "And... there was that one who was upset about Zelda, and a few people were pissed about Yoshi..."

"Fine!" the first ghost yelled. "Nobody likes this tournament! Everyone is upset at the results of the first round!" he turned to the second ghost. "Are you happy now!"

Peach watched this spectacle with an amused look. "Well, at least no one was upset about Link losing. He was a moron."

The first ghost gave a panicked look. "No! She doesn't mean that!"

Peach stared at the ghost. "Who are you talking to?"

"The audience! You can't say things like that to them! They're very touchy! Link is one of the most popular characters in this game!"

"But why? He's a bit slow..."

"Shhhhh!"

"I don't get it... so who do I have to fight now?"

The second ghost looked down at his clipboard. "You're up against... Falco, from Star Fox."

Peach nodded. "That's fine. I hope people won't be too upset when I beat him."

The first ghost shrugged. "He's kind of on and off. Bit of a pill problem. Might be best if you take him out here."

"Okay. Say..." Peach looked at the two ghosts thoughtfully. "Wasn't there three of you last time?"

The second ghost tried to hold back a snigger. The first ghost cleared his throat. "We... we sent him on a special assignment..."

Unknown Place -Unknown Universe- 5:33 PM

The third ghost was getting frustrated. "Guys! We have to give these people a fight! What are you two doing?" The boss is counting on me! I have to make this fight special! What are they doing?

On one side of the battlefield, the first paddle from pong moved back and forth, making strange beeping sounds. On the other side, the L shape from Tetris just stood there.

"Would you two do something!"

Outside Peach's Castle- Mushroom Kingdom- 7:50PM

Falco stumbled down an alley, still feeling the effects of his overdose from his previous battle. Visions of strange rats and Britney Spears floating in and out of his dwindling consciousness.

"Stup...stupid voices... I, i showed tHem! They saW somehting. I swear! They won't mess with me again!" Hahahahahahah!" At this point, Falco walked into a wall, abruptly cutting off his rant.

He got up shakily, and said, "."

Some weird looking creatures came running into Falco's deranged view. Falco squinted his eyes. Those pills must be stronger than I thought!

The Toads looked at the deranged madman. "See, Princess? This is the psycho we were talking about!"

The Princess nodded. That was Falco all right. "I'll handle this, boys."

Falco looked up at all the noise. The monsters were still there, and... Falco's heart skipped a beat. Britney!

Falco got up and walked slowly toward Peach, a twitch in his eye.

"Britney!... Britney... can... I ...can I have... a ... have an autograph?"

Peach raised an eyebrow. "Britney?..."

"Can.. can I have a piece of your hair?..."

Peach stepped back in fear. "What are you talking about?..."

Falco's shadow loomed over Peach. "I...I love you, Britney Spears..."

Peach's eyes went wide. Several strange sounds came from the back of the alley. The two Toads averted their eyes in horror. One of them threw up. Blood came flying out onto the street, covering the Toad. The other Toad looked at it for a second, and then threw up again. Eventually the traumatizing sounds stopped, and the Toads stuck their heads in to see the results. The Toad threw up again. The other Toad blinked a few times to assure himself he wasn't seeing things. Then he shook his head.

"Sick, dude."

The first ghost and the second ghost were sitting around a table in a coffee bar. The first ghost finished his small frapa-mappa, kazappa-chino and burped. "I can't believe that they charged me four hundred and twenty two dollars for this four ounce thing."

The second ghost tried to say something, but found it hard to open his mouth, as his entire body was visibly vibrating.

The first ghost shook his head. "I told you you shouldn't have had that eight triple shot espresso. Dumbass."

The second ghost tried to nod, but found that impossible as well. The first ghost sighed.

"Well, they'll all be sorry when this tournament is over... hahahaha!" he said, using his best maniacal laugh.

The second ghost went to laugh, but could only merely hiccup.

Back at the Unknown Battlefield

The third ghost was pulling out all of his tricks for the sake of a good fight. He sidled up to the L'shape from Tetris.

"Dude, that Pong guy says he slept with your mom. He says that means he's your dad. You should totally mess him up!"

No response.

The third ghost hung his head. He dashed over to Player one from Pong.

"Man, he's mocking you. Look at the bastard!"

No response.

"Dude!"

Nothing.

"God damn it!"

Back at the Mushroom Kingdom...

The first ghost and second ghost strolled leisurely down the street. The second ghost had finally finished his caffeine rush and was able to open his mouth.

"So, you think the Princess is done with General Pill Head?"

"Eh, maybe. Kinda hard to lose to someone who can't see straight... Oh my God!"

The two ghosts had walked into the alley, and the sight before them was too horrific to describe on paper( er, computer screen). Falco was rocking back and forth in the fetal position, whistling the tune from "Hit me Baby One More Time." The second ghost turned around and threw up. Falco turned around and noticed the ghosts.

"Oh boy! The voices are back! Looky what I got today!"

Falco held up the severed head of Princess Peach, her face forever frozen in a visage of horror. The second ghost felt his eight triple shots coming back up.

At the Unknown World...

"E...enough of... this...crap!..."

The third ghost had picked up the L'Shape and floated up as high as his endurance would allow. He looked back down at the battlefield.

"Do you give up?" He yelled at the ground.

No response.

The ghost shrugged. "Well, it's off my conscious." he said as he let go of the L'Shape.

The L'Shape began to fall at a steady, if blocky, rate, making a beep sound every time he went down a notch. Slowly, but steadily, the L'Shape made it's way to the surface. Finally it reached the ground, crushing Player one from Pong. The third ghost made a little checkmark on his clipboard and sighed.

"Let's see... what's next?..."

His face contorted in horror as he received the answer to his question. He found it difficult to even voice the answer.

"D...Dr. Phil versus Mr. T!"

To be continued...

AN- I just realized that we passed the halfway mark a few chapters ago. Everyone, thank you for sticking with me through this ridiculous story. Upon it's completion, I will be writing a Smash Bros story that is a little more serious, more of an adventure story than a silly tournament. We shall see how it goes. I wasn't particularly thrilled with this chapter, but I felt like I wasn't going to get much better with this particular line up, and plus I felt I needed to get something out there. As you can tell, the plot is thickening a little. (There's a plot!) I promise there will be one or two surprises for you guys as we draw near the end of the tournament. After all, it's the least I can do for you guys for making you read this crap. Catch ya in a few! (Review, dammit!)

Next fight, Samus v Kirby!
