Disclaimer: I still don't own any of those fighters below. Oh wait that's right I do own Prince André but I do not own anything related to Super Smash Brothers neither anything from Zelda OKKK. Even if I wish I could. Well on with the story.
Forsaking all I have
Running from the guilt in me
Numbing my mind to all I see
Don't want you to see how I'm guilty…
My demons come up close
Running me up against a wall
Of spikes, and, then again not at all
Push me, here I fall…
Whispering my lies back to me
For that lost innocence here I grieve
It's come to this: my own lies I now believe
I am forsaking me…
Forsaking all I have
Running from the guilt in me
Numbing my mind to all I see
Don't want you to see how I'm guilty…
Don't want you to see the guilt in me…
I run because I can see the lies
But it comes as no great surprise
The guilt is driving me away from you
It won't surprise me to find you're guilty too…
Forsaking all I have
Running from the guilt in me
Numbing my mind to all I see
Don't want you to see how I'm guilty…
Forsaking me…

Link stood on the steep hill edge. Before him stood the Tourney, the pride of Odnetnin. And before him lay the clear tracks of Shiek, Rhia, and Lindsay.
When he had begun, Link had been driven by murderous, insane rage. His sight had been clouded in red fury. But the farther he got from Hyrule Proper, the harder he found it to keep the rage murderous and insane, the red clouds in place. His rage had become controlled, Zelda's death not accepted but not turning him into an animal ravenous for revenge. The red clouds had turned black, content to wait for the time Shiek could be killed.
Link knew the way he could take revenge on Shiek. She would not have come all this way just to watch the Tourney. No, she—and her two friends—would join. And Link would, too. Everyone in the Tourney fought everyone else—or, everyone else, if they didn't die. In the arena of the Tourney, killing was different from cheating. People came to the Tourney to settle scores, just like Link and Shiek.
A small voice in the back of Link's head asked why he wanted to kill Shiek when she had no desire to kill him. She was an assassin, a murderer, and yet…she didn't care to kill, him or anyone else. He knew what was wrong here, he just didn't know why.
Shoving the voice back to where it stayed most of the time, not bothering, Link started down the hill. The Tourney was not slated to start for over two weeks, and anyone could join in from the end of one Tourney to the day before the next.
The voice in the back of Link's head was his conscience.

~ Link PoV ~
Here I am, the famous place I didn't wanted to go but I had to do it anyway, The Tourney, Odnetnin, the No-man-lands. That reminds me of a letter Fyre sent me a couple of years ago, he was entering the Tourney for the third time and he known a bit about the Tourners like he called them. Here was his letter
Dear Brother,
I am at the tourney in Odnetnin and I don't plan to be heading home after that. If you want to come see me performing in front of the big crowd, you'll have to come here. People come here to settle scores, fight for fun or just testing their capabilities of being alive. Also, a big secret, the Tourney had a mirror who can access people to go to others worlds, dimensions so that's why you can encounter some interesting people. If you want to participate one of these years, here some facts you needs to know about the regulars here.
Mario : He's originally from Mushroom kingdom. I know that he lives half a year here and half a year somewhere in Mushroom kingdom. He's very short, I'd say about 5 feet when he wore thick shoes and a big hat. He had curly brown hair, a black moustache, and big, bright blue eyes. He was a plumber at one point and had kept the clothes: red cap, red shirt, blue overalls, white gloves, and brown shoes.
Mario relays on his powers acquired in the kingdom to fight, mostly his punches and kicks, but he had four powerful attacks and the name were given by the fans. Fireball, Mario can throw fireball very rapidly but they have effects on short distances(I almost need a new shield when I fight him). The Cape, The yellow cape of Mario can return projectiles to their owner and also if Mario hit an opponents with it, the opponents make a 180 degrees. The jump punch is an attack that Mario do when he is under an enemy and hit him in the chin(if he had one). Also that jump is used to get back in the arena if thrown away. Finally there the Mario Tornado, Mario put his arms horizontally each side of him and spun very quickly and if someone was hit by Mario, then he was thrown pretty far away.
Peach : Peach is the Princess of Mushroom Kingdom. She and Mario are in love, because Mario had saved her from similar-life-threatening disasters a couple of times. Peach lived with Mario, in their house here in Odnetnin for half a year and half a year in Mushroom kingdom castle.
Peach was a foot and half taller than Mario. She had long, thick, wavy blonde hair, upon which a small gold crown with one ruby rested. She was paler than Mario, and also had big, blue eyes. She wore dresses; mainly ones with puffed sleeves, tight waists, and belled out in the skirt. She wore high-heeled shoes that matched her dress; it was a wonder she could fight at all.
Peach isn't that strong so she rely most on her four powerful techniques I shall say and they are strong for as I passed three weeks in the hospital after our match. The first one is Toad. It was a defensive maneuver and the Toad who did it( a little guy with a mushroom head, wearing a vest) was enjoying get beaten by attacks but he enjoy it anyway so no much harm there. The most powerful attack she has is Peach bomber where she jumped sideways and if she hit the opponent, an explosion occurred and the enemy was sent away in smoke. An offensive and defensive attack is the parasol, if she opened under an enemy the enemy was dragged with her upwards and hit by the parasol. Also this attack permitted her to come down slowly so she could fly a bit and come back from great distance. Her last special move was vegetable which she pick them up even if they were no grass and the damage was determined by the face of the vegetable from happy to angry to insane. Sometimes also, she can let out a frying pan(Ouch) a golf club(the reason of my hospitalisation) or a tennis racket.
Bowser : The disaster of princess Peach and the nemesis of Mario. Bowser is a giant spiked scales turtle. He was a regular, but he hardly lived in Odnetnin, only during the tourney. His scales was generally green and his belly, yellow. He had bright orange eyebrows and tufts of hair. He had orange hair, he had also two horns on his hair. On his arms he wore black bracelets with spikes, very dangerous guy.
Bowser wasn't fast, for a fact that he weight a couples of tons. But the opposite of speed is Power. Bowser was pure power. Since that he hasn't the need of special move but he had 4 of them named by the not-so-much-fans of Bowser. The first was Fire breath. Like the name, he breathed and let out a stream of fire directly from his mouth(I heard he tried mint and wished for ice to come out). Also, Koopa claw, it can be used in two different ways. If an enemy was only just within reach, Bowser would slash viciously at them. If they were closer, the enemies were grabbed and bitten by Bowser's large fangs. There was Whirl, where Bowser retreated into his shell and spun around, his dangerous spikes catching anything in his ways. The final was Bowser Bomb, where Bowser jumped up and sat on his enemies. He was heavy and sat down hard—try to imagine this.
Yoshi: As you can see with Bowser, not only humans can participate in the Tourney, many species can and Yoshi are one of those "special" species you can see in the Tourney. Yoshi were always two colors. One that covered the head, arms, back, tails, feets, etc. The other one was always white and it was the throat down to the belly.
Yoshis could jump surprisingly high and were powerful with their kicks. They did, however, have special moves, which were named by other Yoshis. The first was Egg Lay, and was not nearly as disgusting as it may sound. Yoshis stuck out their highly adhesive tongues and swallowed enemies, laying them seconds later and large eggs. The eggs could then be generally harrassed, which injured the enemy until they broke free. There was the Egg Roll, where a Yoshi enveloped himself in a large white-and-green speckled egg and rolled around, crashing into enemies and knocking them off their feet. There was the Egg Throw (note the pattern), where yet another egg, similar to the other two kinds but smaller, was thrown, hitting enemies as effectively as any projectile. The final special move had nothing to do with eggs. Called the Yoshi Bomb, it was similar to the Bowser Bomb. Yoshi jumped up and sped back down to the ground. Even if he didn't sit on an opponent, little yellow stars were shot out and hit enemies within a five-foot radius.
Donkey Kong : Donkey Kong was a large ape. He hailed from the Kongo Jungle, which was presumably somewhere near Mushroom Kingdom, judging by the way he seemed to know the others from the Mushroom Kingdom. Donkey Kong wore a necktie which changed colors when his fur did.
Donkey Kong, like Bowser, did not really have to rely on special attacks, but he had four as well: Giant Punch; Headbutt; Spinning Kong; and Handslap. The Giant Punch was like it sounds: a gigantic punch. The longer Donkey Kong readied his punch, the harder it hit. The Headbutt was a very ape-like thing: he hit opponents with his head and drove them into the ground. The Spinning Kong could be used as an attack or to get back on an arena stage. He jumped and flew like a helicopter propeller, his hands smacking anything in his way…hard.
Luigi : Luigi was Mario's older brother. He, not surprisingly, came from the Mushroom Kingdom. He was taller than his brother, but looked the same. His hat and shirt were green, and that and height were the only real differences. Their special moves were almost the same. Luigi's Fireballs were occasionally green. Instead of the Cape, he had the Torpedo. He launched himself at enemies, and if they were hit were engulfed in flames.
Pikachu : Pikachu was another one of those species. Pokémon were from a world unknown to anyone who came to the Tourney. There were hundreds of Pokémon, which were divided into evolving species, of which Pikachu was mid-evolved. Pikachus were built like over-sized rats without the long tails. They had black, bead-like eyes and red pockets in their cheeks that contained electricity. They were bright yellow; their tails were shaped like lightning bolts.
Pikachus had many adoring fans. They named his special moves. Pikachus sent out lightning balls that hugged the ground with the Thunder Jolt. Using the Skullbash, a Pikachu could headbutt an enemy. The Quick Attack allowed a Pikachu to jump up in two different directions. Finally, there was Thunder, where the Pikachu called lightning from the sky.
Pichu :Pichu was the first in the evolutionary stage of electric mice. A Pichu could evolve in a Pikachu, and then into a Raichu —although no Raichus came to the Tourney. Pichu was a smaller, paler version of Pikachu, and much, much weaker. A Pichu had all the same moves—except that they injured him as well as the opponent.
Jigglypuff : Another Pokémon, Jigglypuffs were round and pink, with tiny hands and legs. They had huge turqouise eyes and little pink cowlicks. Jigglypuff fans named the special moves. There was the Puff Roll, which was much like a Yoshi's Egg Roll. However, the Jigglypuff first charged up and then let go. The amount of injury the opponent received depended upon how long the Jigglypuff charged up. Another move was Punch—a punch. To jump and get back on stages, a Jigglypuff could inflate to several times its size and float up.
Mewtwo : Mewtwo was a unique Pokémon—he was the only Mewtwo. He was a genetic creation, created from the fossil of an extinct Pokémon called Mew. He—it?—was a ruthless fighter, willing to kill to win. His fans were almost all from other dimensions. Several of his moves were: Stare—if he stared into an enemy's eyes, they fell into a trance. Another was the Flip—Mewtwo would flip his hand and the opponent would do the same. Shadowball—balls of electric-like shadow grew in his hand and he flung them with general painful accuracy. He had several more, which often changed. He came to the Tourney only for the Tourneys, and lived somewhere else the rest of the year.
Fox McCloud : Fox was a fox (this should not come as a great surprise). He talked, thought, and acted like a human, to the great surprise of many at the Tourney. He came from the Lylat System, and was a sort of vigilante. With several like-minded and equally unhuman companions, he patrolled the Lylat System for an archenemy, among other things.
Fox had an interesting variety of special moves. His Blaster gun fired out laser shots that harmed the enemy but did not stop them. He also had a Reflector Shield, and the Fox Illusion, where Fox dashed through his enemies, leaving behind an illusion to attack them. His jump move was Fire Fox—he charged up, fire literally building up underneath him, and then he blasted off in any direction like a rocket.
Falco Lombardi : Falco was surly. And a falcon. Honestly, after 'Fox' that should not be too surprising…Anyway…he was Fox's main pilot and good buddy. But surly. Let's not forget surly.
Falco's moves were almost exactly like Fox's, only his Blaster was slower but more powerful; his was 'Falcon' Illusion. He was also faster and lighter than Fox, which was surprising because before Falco started coming, Fox was one fo the fastest regulars in the Tourney.
Captain Falcon : Captain Falcon was a bounty hunter. He had two main recreational activites when he didn't bounty hunt: the Tourney, and the F-Zero Grand Prix, where many people just as tough as he raced around in flat-ish little cars without wheels. Seriously, it looks cooler than it sounds. It was also dangerous. There. Very cool.
Captain Falcon's moves were all focused on fire. The Falcon Punch released a powerful and fiery punch, while the Falcon kick released a powerful and fiery kick. The Raptor Boost cut the enemy an fiery uppercut. The Falcon Dive grabbed enemies in the air and released them into the air, on fire.
Ness : Ness was a an incredibly short little boy from a place called Onett. He did many fun things like defeat aliens and find little pets, all called Mr. Saturn. He also had amazing psychic powers, which were his special moves.
His most distinct was PK Flash. He thought up a green flash-electric explosion that sounded like thunder. There was also PK Fire, where a column of fire shot out from his hands. With PK Thunder he struck himself with lightning and became an electric missile, and with PSI Magnet, he absorbed energy attacks.
Ice Climbers :The Ice Climbers were sister and brother, Nana and
Popo. They wore parkas all the time and always looked ready to climb an icy
mountain, and they did. Their main
thing was to grab vegetables and also capture the red bird at the top of every
mountain thst they climb. Their special
moves were all about ice.
With Ice Blocks, they sent out sliding ice that tripped and numbed enemies; and with Squall Hammer they whirled about in a sort of windmill, waving their mallets. With Blizzard, both breathed out freezing wind that occasionally encased enemies in ice, and with Belay, Nana threw Popo up, while she attacked enemies and Popo scrabbled to stay on the stage.
Kirby : Kirby was from the planet of Pop Star. And he was round and soft and cuddly (or so I've heard). He had tiny arms, huge feet, and was maybe a foot tall if he stood on his toes. And, as you are about to find out why, his fans, who had named his moves, were skilled in the Heimlich.
Kirby's most famous move was Swallow. He would suck in an enemy, let 'em digest a moment or two, and spit them back out—with one of their special moves copied. He also had a large mallet, dubbed the Big Hammer, and Final Cutter, where Kirby would jump into the sky, and then come back down, hitting the ground with a sword that sent out menacing shock waves. Another move he had was Brick, where he jumped into the sky and turned, briefly, into something very, very heavy on his enemies . Like Jigglypuff, he could puff up and jump five times that way.
Samus Aran : Samus was an orphan, the only survivor of a Space Pirate attack on her home colony. Some years later, after receiving a special Power Suit and enhanced blood from a race called the Chozo, she did great things like clear the planet Zebes of an infestation of Metroids, which were very evil and terribly annoying (I'm sure I'm understating things here)
Samus had a wonderful arsenal of weapons. The Charge Shot was a gun that could charge up laser balls almost as big as Samus herself. She had guided Missiles which exploded upon impact; and Bombs, that exploded quickly but did not harm Samus. Her Screw Attack dragged opponents up with a spinning attack, and could also be used to get back into the arena.
Mr. Game & Watch : Mr. Game & Watch was…um…old. Older than any of the other regulars. He did not age though. He was a rather 2-D stick figure. No one knew where he came from; he couldn't talk. But for some strange reason, he had the most fans, and most of them were female.
He had very *interesting* special moves. Frying Pan was a move where he took out a skillet and flipped painful, burning sausage thingys onto the enemy. Trampoline—well, two more of him appeared, took out a trampoline, and he flew upward.
Marth : Marth was a prince from the kingdom of Altea. He had been betrayed and had been forced into exile. He was a hero. He was tall and pale and had blue hair, through no fault of his own. He was the last opponent to the King of Odnetnin(he did not kill him, the king won, but he retires victorious)
His moves were all about his sword. There was the Dancing Blade, where Marth performed an intricate set of steps, whirling and slashing with his sword as he did so. The Dolphin Slash was an up jump where the enemy was slashed upwards. The Shield Breaker could be charged so that it grew more powerful; Marth raised the sword above his head and brought it down in a powerful strike.
Roy : Roy came from the same continent as Prince Marth, but the teller of this story sadly has no idea how they are related in any way. Roy was the son of the lord of the Pharae Principality, and had at one time assumed control over its' armies. He was shorter than Marth, with thick red hair.
Roy's special moves were very much like Marth's. The Dancing Blade and Dolphin Slash were very much the same as Roy's moves, but his fans had named them differently. Instead of the Shield Breaker, he had Fire Blade. He did the same thing as Marth did for the Shield Breaker, but his was more powerful and involved much fire.
Myself : Well, my fans called me Young Link. From now on I'm 14. My fans all knew me from the time we lived together in the Proper. Well, I look exactly like you the last itme I saw you. I have the same mop of blonde hair, the same big, blue eyes, the same clothes and hat. I had a sword (well I took the Kokiri sword with me, sorry), your Fairy bow and fire arrows, some small bombs, your old boomerang, and your old grappling hook.
I was as skilled as you are so even if I had twelve when I entered, they let me, I didn,t win yet and I got my ass kick sometimes very seriously but do not fear for me(like you would), I'll be fine.
Zyuiu Dbyu : Zyuiu was seventeen, with bright blue eyes and short, spiky gold hair. She had a red triforce tatoo underneath her right eye. She wore chainlink metal armor, in a body-hugging jumpsuit style. She wore a thick, white strip of cloth that draped over her back and the fron of the armor. It had gold runes embroidered all over it. A thick belt belted the strip of cloth. Stuck in the belt was a fencing sword, and several weapons were hidden within. She was quite skilled with the fencing sword, and was a good gymnast. She was strongly against cheating, which was not as common as it should be in the Tourney. She had a sister, also in the Tourney. Long ago, they had made up a language that only they knew. When they trusted a person completely, they would speak in Common to them.
Ymota U : Ymota U was Zyuiu's twin (they were not identical). She wore chainlink armor also, but wore a soft, worked green leather tunic over it. Her brown hair was longer than Zyuiu's, and hung to just below her ears. She carried a jousting lance, and was amazing with it. The saying in the Tourney was that Ymota U left no enemies alive—opponents, yes, but if you made her your enemy, you were done for. She secretly studied magic—dark and powerful—in her room at night. And, in a complete twist from Zyuiu, she would cheat to win.
Prince André of Odnetnin: He his the prince of this place and truly the champion of Odnetnin like his father. He had the same weapon as his father, the sowrd of Power. His father accepted and loved the fact that André was part of the Tourney. André was already a regular at the Tourney, though he was only seventeen. He walked and fought with a royal mien, and always had a smile. He was tall and muscular from training so hard to be in the Tourney every year. His eyes were dark blue, and as deep as the oceans. He had spiky brown hair. He was brave, and outside of the Tourney, only fought if there was cause to. He's also a big friend of mine, we often practiced together in the past. He made me learn the Spin attack that I know you love to do, I knew it from him.
Lord Rowrun of Odnetnin: Rowrun was a nobleman of Odnetnin's son, and Prince André's best friend. He and André had made a pact to be in it every year together or not at all. He was a year older than André, but it had never mattered. His almost white blonde hair was cut short, and almost certainly by someone inexperience(I heard that it was André that cuthis hair but that's only a rumor). It was jagged and spiky, giving him a look of a fighter. His eyes were on the opposite end of blue's spectrum from André's, ice blue. When he fought he wore a plain, white shirt with a gold wrought belt. He wore brown cloth pants that tucked into brown leather boots with the tiniest heel. People who did not know him gave him a wide berth, believing him to be slightly insane. He was smart, though, and was amazing at swordplay.
Well that's it bro, that the regulars of the Tourney. Be sure to come before I get killed.
With all the affection I have for you, I'll be waiting every year to see you
Your Brother
Fyre aka Young Link.
"Well this year bro", I thought. "I'll see you and maybe battle you".
"Name", I heard.
"Hey, you're too old to be Young Link", said the voice who I recognised to be the registar.
"Name's Link", I said, but it took all my will to stay civil, I was already in a bad mood for not being able to kill Sheik. "I'm apparently Young Link's older brother"
"Link, eh?" The registrar licked dry lips and hunched over to write that down. His quill ran out of ink, he cursed, and he dipped in ink, then scratched my name down.
"Tell me," I said conversationally. "Did a redhead, maybe eighteen, a fourteen, fifteen yeard old girl with brown hair, and a blonde girl in a skintight jumpsuit sign in? And as what?"
"Fighters," the registrar said. He looked at the clipboard. "Lindsay, Rhia, and Shiek, not necessarily in the order you said."
"Thanks," I said. The registrar leaned back and poked a young boy "Mark, take 'im to the fighters' rooms."
The young boy muttered something entirely too profane for a ten year old, stood up and yawned, and led me down a maze of corridors and stairs.
