CHAPTER 2 - The Contestants


It had been nearly a month since the letter had been sent out, and all 12 fighters were waiting somewhat patiently in the lobby of the arena. Bowser and his Goomba goons entered from a secret entrance, and no one seemed to notice. He gave a signal to Mewtwo, and Mewtwo immediately began the plan.

First, he "accidentally" bumped Ness into Pichu, causing Pichu to shock Master Hand, Luigi and Mario.

"OWOWOWOWOW!" Mario said as he crashed into Ness, Falco and Roy.

Ness went flying across the room, straight into Mr. Game & Watch, who spilled oil all over Samus, which shorted out her gun. Samus's gun began firing at everyone, but luckily she only hit Link and Kirby.

Bowser chose this time to show himself.

"Hello everyone! I am Bowser, your host for this tournament, and let me just say that this is a great group of fighters! Now that all twelve of you are here, we may begin!"

"Wait-a a minute, Bowser!" blurted out Mario. "I need-a some rest-a after that-a little rat shocked me!"

"PICHU!" Pichu's cheeks began to light up and surge with electricity.

"Now now contestants, calm down! I will only be announcing the matches today. Tomorrow, the tournament will officially begin." Bowser bellowed out.

A Goomba came out from behind Bowser, holding a hat. "In this hat, there are the two of each number from one to six. You will each draw a number, and fight whoever has the same number as you. The first round of the tournament is a simple knock out round. Numbers will now be pulled."

Mewtwo went up, and pulled the number 6.
Pichu followed and pulled a 2.
Mario pulled a 5.
Luigi, a 3.
Ness, 4.
Falco, 1.
Roy, 2.
Mr. Game & Watch, 3.
Samus, 6.
Link, 4.
Kirby, 1.
And lastly, Master Hand pulled a 5.

"The matches will also take place in the same order as the number you pulled, so the matches shall begin tomorrow as follows: Falco versus Kirby, Pichu versus Roy, and Luigi versus Mr. Game & Watch. The other 3 matches (Ness versus Link, Master Hand versus Mario, and Mewtwo versus Samus) will be on the following day."

The Goomba stepped back behind Bowser, and Bowser began to leave.

"WAIT!" cried Samus from the back of the crowd. "What do we do now then?"

"Oh, of course. Tonight, you will stay at the luxurious Hotel Goomba, located right down the street. Of course, as my guests, you will pay for nothing!"

Later that day, when the contestants arrived at the Hotel…

"This is a complete dump!" complained Roy. "Our 'host' is such a flippin' cheap-o!"

"I-a could-a told you that!" spoke Mario from behind him.


Well, after 7 months of not writing, I was beginning to miss it, so I decided to pick this old story up! Leave some Reviews, as they are greatly appreciated, and tell me what I should add, or what I should remove! Also, I am trying to get up a chapter a week, most likely on Saturdays, since I have school and all. Well… that is about it!
