It was the day after the meeting with Master Hand. Everyone who had attended the meeting had just stayed and slept at the stadium. That morning, when they awoke, a polygon creature was waiting for them on the podium. Once everyone was awake, he took the microphone and put it up to his mouth, or at least where his mouth should be.
"Calling all warriors!" he started "Today the Super Smash Brothers Melee begins. I need Mario and Captain Falcon to report to the teleportation pads to warp to their battle location." Mario and Captain Falcon emerged from the crowd and walked up to the podium. They exchanged glares and then looked at the polygon creature.
"Where we headed purple man?" Captain Falcon rudely asked the polygon creature. The polygon creature looked at him blankly and relplied.
"To the Hyrule Temple." This caught Link's attention, and he ran up to the podium.
"Let me go!" Link demanded.
"I am sorry," replied the polygon creature "But Mario and Captain Falcon are the only ones allowed to go to that location. You can watch from a screen we will provide to you all in just a few moments. Link gave the polygon creature a glare and jumped off the podium.
The polygon creature flipped a switch and Falcon and Mario de-materialized into a bright green color. Then the color was gone as quickly as it appeared, and the teleporting pads moved slowly into the podium floor. The polygon creature then moved over to a control panel and pushed a button, and a large, flat screen began sliding down from the roof. It was soon fully visible. With this, the polygon man disintegrated.
On the screen, it showed the large temple, and Mario and Falcon re-materializing on opposite ends. But they were both still trapped inside their teleportation pods. A countdown then began on the screen. It first showed a giant 3, 2, 1, and after the 1 a large "Go" appeared, and Mario and Falcon were released from the pods. The fight had begun.
Falcon began by dashing towards Mario as fast as he could. But Mario didn't move. He was patiently waiting for Falcon to reach him. Falcon jumped over the obstacles in his way, and finally jumped over the ledge that was separating him from Mario. He landed right in front of Mario, and then immediately jumped up again. Mario still hadn't moved, all he was doing was watching Falcon patiently, waiting for the right time to make his move. Falcon performed a front flip to show off, and then he yelled out to Mario for the first time.
"Time ta die plumma! Falcon Kick!" he shouted. And at that Falcon caught fire, and prepared to launch himself at Mario. Mario finally smiled, and shouted at Falcon.
"Take this!" he shouted, and then he ripped his cape off of his back, and threw it straight into Falcon's
face. This threw Falcon's concentration off, and Mario took this moment of confusion to make his move. He jumped up and started to perform his "Mario Tornado" attack. He began to spin very rapidly, with his arms stretched out. On every quick spin, Mario punched the side of Falcon's head. After about ten spins, Mario stopped and landed on the exact spot he had landed on. Falcon fell to the ground head first, making a loud *thump* noise.
Falcon began to stand up, and ripped Mario's now bloody cape off of his face. He looked up at Mario. His face was badly bruised up, and his nose was violently bleeding. His look quickly turned to a glare, and he fixed his eyes on Mario's.
"You'll pay for that ya damn plummer." Falcon angrily said through a clenched jaw. "You'll regret injuring me!" Very quickly, Falcon's fist caught fire and he hit Mario, dead center in the forehead. This sent Mario flying about twenty feet. Mario got up and rubbed his forehead, which now had severe burns on it. Falcon laughed and shouted over to Mario.
So how'd ya like my Raptor Boost? Hahaha! Don't worry though, there's plenty more where that came from!" At that, Falcon began to dash at Mario again, faster than before. Mario braced himself for an attack by putting his fists in front of him. Once close enough, Falcon jumped up into the air once again. Mario took this as his cue. His right hand began to glow, and he jumped up at Falcon, with his right arm outstretched in front of him.
"I don't think so plumma" Falcon said cockily, and he drew his fist back, and let it catch fire. But unexpectedly, Mario picked up speed and landed his fist on Falcon's belly- very hard. Falcon's head quickly flew forward, and he coughed out some blood on Mario in the process. Mario flipped around and used his feet to kick off of Falcon's chest, allowing him to land gracefully. Falcon on the other hand, landed hard and painfully on a bat that had just appeared out of nowhere. Mario began laughing hysterically in his weird way.
Falcon got up, slowly, and looked at what he had landed on. It was a large wooden baseball bat with grooves on its end. Falcon picked it up and started limping towards Mario, who was still laughing. Mario finally stopped laughing, once Falcon was within arm length of him. Mario then noticed the bat Falcon was holding, and his eyes grew wide open. Falcon reared back, to get ready to swing. Mario started his jump out of the way, but it was too late.
Falcon swung the bat as hard as he possibly could, and hit Mario on the side of his knee. This caused a sickening *crack* noise from Mario's leg. Mario hit the ground hard and he began to hold his leg, in pain. Falcon looked at him, and saw the bloody bone sticking out of his leg. Mario kept screaming out in pain, while he held his leg. Falcon smiled and looked at Mario.
"Hehehe," Falcon laughed." Time to die, plumma!" With this, Falcon raised his fist and let it catch fire. "Falcon Punch!" He then took his flaming fist and nailed Mario through the ground. Falcon took a deep breath of relief, and looked through the hole. There lie Mario's lifeless body on the platform under him. A few moments later Falcon was teleported back to the stadium.
He was teleported onto the telepad, standing up. He took a look at everybody, and then collapsed. Three polygon creatures picked him up and dragged him off to a dark room, probably the medical room. The screen that had shown the fight was now flashing the words "Captain Falcon Advances!" But the eyes of the crowd were not fixed on the screen. They were fixed on Bowser, who was punching the ground repetitively. He also kept shouting out in anger.
"Why did he get Mario? He was mine! How did he do it?!" were the things he kept shouting. A few minutes later, a polygon creature walked up to the microphone to announce the next battle.
