Wow! Two reviews! that's two more than my first story ,which has been deleted now. Well, technically, it had one review, but that was just a warning Teent Titans was going to be cancelled. :sobs:
Anyway:ahem: To my reviewers:
Pyromaniac Aru of Pherae: I was already planning to put Marth and Roy in, but note that they won't appear very often. Oh, and thanks for the compliment, I thought the fight scenes were my strong point too, but that's not saying much.
foxdude33: Wow. Maybe it is saying much. Favorites list...never thought I'd see the day!
Oh, and a note to everyone: I don't own any of these characters, but the plotline is copyright me. So, you steal my story, or copy its general idea, you get sued. And, since all these storylines are coming together, minor and major points and details in the games will be a bit...muddled. So, if the Heartless start being nice (which won't happen, I'm not that dumb), then blame it on worlds coming together.
Episode 1, Part 4
"WHADDYA MEAN THAT ONLY THE WINNERS GO HOME!" said a blue, spiked animal.
"Calm down, Sonic…" said Male Wire Frame, eager to not be hurt. "You're not worried you'll lose, are you?"
The blue hedgehog, which was apparently named Sonic, zipped up to the stage, almost (but not quite) too fast to see.
"No! But, eventually, even my friends will lose, and they won't get to go home!"
"That's our Sonic," mumbled a red echidna next to me, "Always thinking of others…when he's not thinking of himself, that is…"
The Male Wire Frame cleared his throat, or at least what he passed off as one. "You could always wish your friends home, when you win…"
"No thanks," said Sonic. "We're not participating in this twisted little tournament at all!"
"You don't exactly have a choice, now do you?"
"Wait, wait, wait…" said a Blue-clad swordsman next to me, with hair to match, "Do you mean to say that, if any of us refuse, you still won't send said people home?
"Them's the breaks."
"I know something I'd like to break," said someone in the crowd.
"Yeah!" said Fawful, who apparently didn't die, "That Wire Frame is making me angry, like many Red-seeing bulls on the hottest of August days! I HAVE FURY!"
The crowd began to mob.
"Fine," said the affair's host, "But 'break' me, and you 'break' your only way home."
That quieted people down.
"So, now that we understand each other, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"
Episode 1, Part 5
After everyone had gotten settled into their own personalized rooms, I checked my watch.
-Hmmm…'bout an hour to the first fight. I guess I'll get to the concession stand!-
True, I just wanted to get there and be able to get back in line twice. I admit I'm not the most fit person in the world. But even so, I wasn't expecting other people to want food as much as me.
After waiting about 20 minutes, a looked at my watch. "The food better be good here…"
"It is!" said someone, walking by.
I turned and looked. "Link? That you?"
Link turned. "Mario! Hey, I realized when he said we were all from different time periods why you'd never heard of Hyrule. Can't say I blame you. Grand things like that, unfortunately, tend to become legend over time. By the way, if I can judge the future by the food alone, then, by Din, I might just stay here!"
Mario looked down at Link's plate. It had a small portion of every food item on the menu on it. A very small portion, considering there were about 100-1000 items on said menu.
"You went all out, didn't you?"
"Pretty much…you plan to?"
"Only if this line actually moves!"
Eventually, after a couple (hundred) introductions, a lot of counting floor panels, and a small fight between Knuckles and Wario, I got to the counter, with 5 minutes to spare.
"Let's-a see…" I said, "I'll have the Mushroom Pasta, extra parmesan, please."
"What kind of sauce?" said the Female wire Frame working the joint.
I looked at all the different kinds of sauce on the menu. Then a little boy, about 12, with a baseball cap, a baseball bat, and a backpack ran up to me. "Try the Delisauce! It literally tastes great with everything!" then he ran off, yelling back, "My name's Ness, by the way!"
I slowly turned to the cook and said, "O-kay. Delisauce, please!"
"Anything to drink with that?"
"Chuckola Cola…with a squeeze of Pik-Nectar."
"Alright…your total is $10.28, or, 128 Mushroom coins! Have a nice day!" she said, pouring Delisauce with 1 hand and Pik-Nectar with another, then whipping out my dish.
As I paid, and then turned around, Luigi nearly bumped into me. "C'mon, Mario, the first fight is starting!"
Episode 1, Part 6
"Now then," said Male Wire Frame, on the stage, "I will explain the rules. You will be teleported to a place of random choosing. Then, you will fight. Hard. The only thing prohibited is killing. Do so, and you'll be disqualified. Then, you'll be killed. Items from all the various worlds will occasionally and randomly fall out of the sky. You may use any item you pick up. Now, I will draw the first two fighter's names out of a hat…"
No sound was made except the shuffling of paper (in the hat) and the crunching of nachos (in Link's mouth). Finally, the Wiry Host drew out two slips of paper with one hand. He opened the first one up, and said, "Ganondorf Dragmire! You are Player 1!"
There was an audible gasp by much of the crowd. Ganondorf was extremely powerful, and if you got a D in history, you knew about his legend. He was the self-proclaimed King of Evil, and almost rightfully so. The drawings of him as a child, recovered in a ruin, made people quiver with fear. His Adult self, both now and in the drawing, sent people running away, driving logic out of their minds. And the drawings of him in his "pig form" were never released in any museum, because all but 2 archaeologists went insane, just by looking. I looked over to Link, who was watching the clock, unshaken. I was in awe. He must be the recipient of the Triforce of courage, if he was able to not only face Ganon, but fight him.
"And as for name number two, we have…Bomberman!"
The robot bomber stood up, shakily, slowly coming onto stage as Male Wire Frame ran off, saying "To win, you must knock your opponent off the stage, knock them unconscious, or knock them until they give up. Now," he said, stopping, "Let's spin some wheel!"
He gave one of those game show style wheels a spin, and it spun. And spun. And spun. Finally, it stopped on…
"Mumbo's Mountaintop! Tel-e-por-tation, baby!"
And the fighters slowly disappeared off the stage, finally turning invisible in a green flash of light. The big screen overhead turned on. Several people from past times were in awe at the TV itself, the rest were in awe at the size.
Mumbo's Mountaintop was a crisp, clean, grassy setting with a stone totem pole in the middle. Several huts, one shaped like a yellow skull, surrounded the pole. Ganondorf suddenly appeared a dark portal of light. (Yes, I know that's a paradox, but it was also a good way to describe his portals.) Bomberman floated down, spinning slowly, on a simplistic jetpack.
"START!"
Ganondorf pulled out an evil-looking sword. He swirled around, yelling with fury, heading toward Bomberman.
"That all ya got?" yelled the little robot, as he pulled out a light blue bomb, and tossed it. It landed at Ganondorf's feet, creating a mist that coated him in crystal (or, at least, ice).
"Ha!" said Bomberman. "And you call yourself the King? I should have known! History usually gets everything wro-"
At that moment, Ganondorf broke out, raining hail all over the cheery landscape.
"Not bad." Said Ganondorf. "I seem to have underestimated you slightly." He swung his sword, creating a beam of curved darkness. "But only slightly!"
Bomberman dodged the blast, jumping in front of the totem pole, and then jumping off after lighting a bomb with a very short fuse. The bomb exploded, destroying the base of the pole and sending it falling almost all the way to Ganondorf.
I say "almost" because Ganondorf calmly watched as it started to fall, then vaporized it with a blast of darkness when it was about two inches from his head. He then turned, and said.
"Really, is that the limit of your abilities? I expected more of a fight…."
He then shot yet another blast, which Bomberman intercepted by having a bomb absorb it. Instead of it detonating, though, it redirected the blast into the sky. Everyone noticed then, before it disappeared, that the bomb had an arrow on it.
"Directional Bomb." Said the Robot in White. "Not a bad show, huh?"
Ganondorf said nothing, but rolled backward, sticking his hand up in the sky. Suddenly, where he stood before rolling, there appeared a small army of bats, or I nthe Hyrulian name, Keese."
Bomberman backed up, then tripped over something, sending up sparks. He looked down to see a Fire Flower. Getting the gist of what it did by what happened when his foot touched it, he picked it up and started to torch the bats. But these bats actually braved the fire, and used it as a weapon, being powered-up by Ganondorf.
"So fire doesn't hurt you huh? Well, how about ICE!" B-man shouted, tossing another Freeze Bomb. The Keese didn't freeze, though, they disintegrated. Ganon and Bomber were both confused by this, but soon decided to continue battling.
Before they could, however, Mumbo stepped out of his hut. A shout came from the real Mumbo, "Hey! That Mumbo! But I'm Mumbo!
Somewhere off-stage, "Don't worry! Just a hologram! Everything is mechanical! That doesn't mean it's not dangerous, though!"
'Mumbo' looked startled. "What have you done to my home?" His mountaintop had been scorched, plowed, and ripped apart by the battling that had happened before and during Male Wire Frame's explanation. "Grr… EEKUM BOKUM! ROLL!"
A small pink creature ran away from Mumbo as he cast a spell that went soaring to the mountain behind them, which started to spew out rocks, which, did indeed, roll down the mountain.
Ganondorf quickly flew above the boulders. But turning around, he saw Bomberman was ascending by jumping on the boulders, then jumping off quickly.
Ganon shot a few blasts, each time destroying the boulder Bomber was about to jump off of, so all Dragmire did was lessen the boulders. Finally, Ganondorf shot as Bomberman was jumping, but Bomber, being quick on his feet, shot out a grapple bomb. He held o nto the fuse, which extended, and the bomb itself split into three "prongs". They then closed around a smaller boulder, and pulled Bomberman up while the boulder went down. This created a catapult effect.
As Ganondorf Dragmire flew after him, B-man tossed down three Circle Up Bombs. Each one landed beneath Ganondorf, and detonated straight up I nthe shape of a circle. But Ganon dodged right on the first one, left on the second, and sped up on the third, and the finally fired back with lightning The thunderbolt hit, short circuiting the robot, who then fell, conscious, but unable to move.
As far as the guys who put in the subtitles could tell, Ganondorf's mumblings were along the lines of "Too bad about the no killing rule…" Ganon then shot a blast under Bomberman, which stopped I nthe middle of the sky, and widened into a portal. Bomberman fell in it, fell out of it a few feet above the lake. After about 2 seconds, the lake exploded upward, and Bomberman was transported back, good as new. The blue Jinjo, whose "island" had not been affected by the blast at all, looked around, then jumped off into the now dry lake, climbed up the ramp, and scurried off.
Ganondorf soon teleported in to congratulations from several villainous and a couple heroic congrats. Ganon stepped through them all, considering it was one big crowd, and walked off.
Oil tears were forming in Bomberman's eyes as Male Wire Frame bent over to the robot, whom hadn't moved from his lying-down position since he got there. "Don't worry," said Male Wire Frame, "You have to lose twice before you're kicked out…"
Meanwhile, (and I only know about this because later I watched the security tapes) Ganondorf, still walking down the hall, Bowser leaning against the wall. Neither seemed to take notice of each other, then…
"So you're Ganondorf Dragmire? I'm a big fan." As he said this, Bowser kept his confident smirk, laid-back position, crossed arms, and closed eyes as they were. "In fact, I've based a lot of my work on you."
Ganondorf stopped for a second, said, "Well, isn't that just peachy." Then continued walking on.
Bowser moved from wall, uncrossed his arms, and turned toward Ganondorf. "I have a deal for you."
"I don't make deals." Said Ganon, walking on.
"The first time Link beat you, he had the Sages' help. And he made sure he learned your weaknesses while getting that help. After he sent you to the Dark World, he trained, and you couldn't. Therefore, even once you finally got the full Triforce, and with no help whatsoever from Sages, he could beat you every time. But if he didn't know the villain's weakness…"
The whole time Bowser was talking, Ganon kept walking. But when Bowser said the last sentence, Ganon stopped in his tracks, with a startled look on his face.. Then he turned round, now calm again. His words, however were not calm. "What do you want, reptile?"
Bowser kept his smirk and his closed eyes, and began walking toward Dragmire. "Quite simple, really." Said Bowser. "Link…does not know my weaknesses. And the Mario Bros…don't know yours." He stopped a foot front of Ganondorf.
A look of realization crossed over the King of Evil's face. Then, an evil smirk came over the King of Evil's face.
Bowser opened his eyes, uncrossed his arms and held out his right hand. "So…do we have a deal?"
Ganondorf frowned, looking down at Bowser's hand. Then, after about 3 seconds, he looked back up, smirking again. He stuck his palm into Bowser's. "Deal."
Ooh! Evil happenstance! Cliffy! MWA HA HA! You'll note I'm presenting this as if it were a TV series, with an movie made up of 3 or 4 episodes kicking off the series, well, that's because if I ever get rich and famous (that's a laugh!), then I plan on making this series. Sure, it'll be a bit out of date, but hey, it's all good. ;) Now, Review, or Santa will put you on his Naughty List.
