V. THE GRAND SMASHER
The three Hylians were escorted from the airport by a little man that looked like a mushroom. This man was named Toad. They drove off in a sleek black limousine. As the car passed through the big city, Young Link, Adult Link and Zelda were staring out through the windows at the tall buildings and the mass of people walking the sidewalks. Being used to a calm spacious Hyrule, this dense, crowded place was a very new concept for them. Soon, the limo pulled up to a huge building with a big neon sign that said The Grand Smasher. The trio stared in awe. Toad lead them out of the car and into the lobby if the hotel where they could see an array of different people. They were introduced to all the other contestants. Young Link could remember some of these people from his dream. He especially liked the little pink puffball, which was called Kirby. Adult Link and Zelda were chatting with two other swordsmen, Marth and Roy. Young Link, Kirby and Ness went outside to play. At six o'clock, all the smashers were called to dinner. As everyone was seated, two men in suits walked into the room.
"Hello and welcome." Said the brunette one.
"Before we start dinner, we would like to introduce ourselves." Said the redhead. I am Ronald Smash, and this is my older brother, Gerald. Now, would everyone kindly introduce themselves starting with the lovely lady in pink.
"Hi. I'm Peach, princess of the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Hiya! It's-a me-a Mario!"
"Yoho! I'm-a Luigi!"
"Jiggly Jiggly Jigglypuff!"
"Yo! I'm DK."
"Samus. Samus Aran."
"Yoshi!"
"Nana and Popo!"
"Heehee, I'm Kirby."
"Hey! I'm Captain Falcon."
"Fox McCloud."
"Falco Lombardi"
"Ha ha ha ha! I am the Evil King of Darkness, and the first male Gerudo born in 100 years! I also possess the Triforce of Power, so don't piss me off. Also "
"ROAR! Shut up. I'm Bowser, arch-enemy to that stupid plumber over there."
"Hi! I'm Ness"
"I am Marth, Prince of Atlea."
"Roy."
"I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule."
"Link, the great Hero of Time." Link gave a proud smile.
"Link, his younger self. By the way, I can kick his" but before he could finish, Adult Link slapped his hand over Young Link's mouth.
"Dr. Mario!"
"Beep bop beep." Said Mr. Game and Watch.
"Pika!"
"Pi, pi, Pichu!"
"Well, that makes everyone." Gerald said. "Let the feast begin!" Waiters came through the swinging doors from the kitchen holding silver platters. The smashers looked at the grand meal laid out before them. Not even the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom had a meal so terrific. Everyone dove into the food.
By seven thirty, everyone was stuffed. Some left for the lounge, others stayed at the table. Young Link, Ness, Kirby, Pikachu, and Pichu were playing Risk in the lounge while Zelda, Adult Link, Marth, and Roy were sitting on the couch chatting and drinking coffee. Ganondorf and Bowser were in the dining room drinking beer. Mario and Peach were making out in the kitchen. Luigi was sitting in the lounge reading. Everyone was so comfortable at the hotel and made themselves feel right at home. The night wore on and the smashers gradually left for their rooms. Young Link got tired and left his friends at around eight o'clock. Adult Link and Zelda went to bed at around eleven o'clock. As each smasher went to sleep, they found a little note on their luxurious beds…
