AN: I'm back with this chapter of my old fic. I've putting my resources in my Riviera fic that I forgot about this one. Found it while I was going through my old files. TREMBLE IN FEAR, THE TRIALS CONTINUE!D

Before I forget: disclaimer: Don't own Fire Emblem. If I did, it would be burned on a stake. Same is true with SSBM (Smash Brothers).

Ch.3 Gamemaster Mech vs. Swordmaster Guy

Buckling on 'his' Killing Edge, Mech went off to face down Guy. After all, if Guy wasn't going to agree with the way things should be handled, Mech wanted to defend himself in order to run away. With a swagger that he hoped was confident, Mech marched to where Guy was.

When Mech arrived, he just saw Lyn finishing her transformation into a Blade Lord.

'Lyn's fighting Guy. This outta be fun,' Mech thought.

He sat down next to a tree and dug out some food he pilfered from Lowen and began to enjoy the show. He saw Lyn make the mistake of using an Iron Bow at close range and knew that was a fatal mistake. As he waited for Guy's final blow, Mech realized something. Lyn was a Lord, and if she died, he'd have to redo his strategy.

"And it was just getting good too," Mech sighed and got up from his seat. Before Lyn was killed, Mech rushed in and blocked the fatal slash with his sword.

"You little brat!" Guy roared, "You deprived me from my victim!"

"Don't worry, you'll get to have your fun, because I'm challenging you to a duel!" Mech declared. With a manic grin, Guy readied his sword.

"No, no, no. Not a sword duel," Mech corrected, "I want to challenge you to a match of "Super Smash Brothers"!"

After making this challenge, Dorcas, Bartre, and Hawkeye pushed a giant screen TV into the area (Mech told them about his plan, since the big guys were needed).

"Then prepare to die weakling!" Guy roared. Seeing what the commotion was about, everyone gathered over to the field.

"What is going on?" Canvas, whose head was stuck in a book the past few weeks, had no clue of what was occurring during the time.

"Mech…is challenging Guy…to a video game duel," Hector wheezed. Canvas arched an eyebrow when he noticed Hector cut up with his armor dented, cracked, and holed.

"He got into a fight with Fiora when she learned that Hector was seeing another person besides Florina," Serra explained cheerful, "Shows that a guy should never play with a woman's heart." She turned her glare toward Erk who was being treated by Priscilla.

"Let the torment began! My character shall be Marth. No one can match his speed or swordsmanship!" Guy gloated.

"There is one guy that can beat him," Mech hinted.

"Roy!" the computer announced as Mech chose his fighter.

"Roy? Ha! He's too slow!" Guy taunted.

"Not everything depends on speed," Mech warned him as he chose a time match, "And I wouldn't want to talk trash about Roy. I'd like to tell you why, but I'm forbidden." Next, Mech quickly chose the Final Destination stage, since it was a plain flat stage with no surprises to interfere with their match.

"3…2…1…GO!" the computer shouted. Marth rushed in and Mech knew that Guy was planning to do. It was either going to be a Dolphin Slash or a Dancing Blade.

'Fine, let's see how good he is,' Mech thought. When Marth was in range, Mech had Roy do a Double-Edge Dance. Caught off guard, Marth took the full 4-hit combo. "How's that?" Mech had to gloat.

"Curse you!" Guy snarled. He countered by using a smash attack but Mech had Roy roll away.

"C'mon, you gotta speedy guy. Use your speed!" Mech taunted guy while he was mashing the buttons.

"You'll eat those words!" Guy snarled, also mashing buttons.

Everyone looked at the two crazed players who were absorbed in their challenge, then looked up at the screen. So far, Mech had 2 KOs, one when he knocked Marth off the edge of the platform, powered up a Flare Blade, then let it loose when Marth was in range and the other was from the third hit of a Double Edge dance with Marth suffering high damage.

"What's the matter? I thought you were a master at this game," Mech continued his trash talking while pounding all sorts of combinations (He gets a Berserker bonus or was it button masher?). Guy responded by having Marth hit Roy with a Shield Breaker that sent Roy flying off the screen.

"Who's your daddy now?" Guy crowed.

"Eliwood is his father, right?" Mech muttered as Roy jumped off the floating platform to resume the fight.

Since Mech and Guy had their characters move around so fast and so random, the screen started crackling as it tried to keep up and the smell of smoke covered the whole area. The Gamecube, being the invincible black box, still managed to do its job (If it broke, how would the story continue?)

"Is that big, flashy box supposed to make those types of sparks?" Eliwood had to ask.

"You know, the one time I saw something sizzling and smelling this horrid was when Mech blew up…let's run," Fiora concluded.

Everyone just gave Fiora and Eliwood a weird look as they ran far away.

"I think they are planning something," Sain remarked.

"She better not be doing what I think she's planning on doing," Ninian seethed. Nils eyes widened as he caught what his sister meant. Rebecca hit him on the back of his head.

"Don't go there, Nils. You're too young," she warned. Nils sulked. The crackling grew louder and the smell got stronger from the TV and Guy and Mech were still going at it. So far the score was

Thirty seconds were left when the TV caused a massive explosion to the area. The final score:

Mech: 10 KOs, 1 fall, 7 SDs

Guy: 1 KO, 10 falls, 3 SDs

AN: I just revealed my opening move with Roy in this chapter. I'd like to brag about how I am the best player on Super Smash Bros, but then, there will be a lot of complaints about how everyone else is better.
