The polygon creature tapped the microphone to make sure it was on, and then began to speak. "Will Link and Samus please report to the podium for the next match? You will be transported to the Icicle Mountain, a very dangerous and frigid location." The Ice Climbers, Nana and Popo, looked at each other with a homesick look in their eyes. They knew it was only a copy of the location, but they still longed to go there.
Samus walked up to the podium, very coldly walking past the other contestants. She stepped onto the telepad, and waited to be teleported. Link started to walk up to the podium, but was stopped by someone who grabbed his arm. He turned around and saw Zelda standing there with big eyes, that had tears in them. She stared into his eyes with hers, and the tears began to run down her face.
"Don't die. Okay?" Zelda choked these words out, trying hard not to start completely breaking out in tears.
"Don't worry," Link started, "I'll defeat her, and come back alive." He smiled. With this Zelda hugged him, looked at him again, and walked away with her head pointed to the ground, so no one else could see her cry.
Link walked up to the podium and stepped up on his telepad. He looked over to Samus with a very determined look in his eyes. She looked back at him, but he could only see her helmet. But on the inside, Samus looked at him rather worried. She had heard of Link, and his great adventures, not to mention what a great warrior he was. But Samus had enough determination to try her best. She figured she could win, but it would not be easy. Link felt the same, and he also figured it would be a difficult battle. They were then teleported to the Icicle Mountain.
As the two fighters appeared at the location, they looked around, as did the other warriors watching from the stadium, especially the Ice Climbers. It was a very tall mountain covered in snow, so tall that you could not see the top of it. There were also many walkways and bridges to connect different parts of it. Many large polar bears were walking around on the bridges, and lots of ice chunks were sliding around.
The countdown began, and three seconds later the fight began. Link and Samus appeared on a bridge, on opposing ends. As soon as the fight began, the two began dashing towards each other with great speed. Link drew his sword, and was planning on ramming it into Samus when she was close enough. But instead of continuing her run toward Link, Samus jumped over Link while doing a flip. Link tried to jump up at her with his sword when she was directly above him, but Samus had other plans. She pulled a bomb out of her suit's pocket, and dropped it on the vertically jumping Link. His eyes bulged as he saw the bomb falling right down on him. It nailed him dead on right on his chest. It caused a small sized explosion, but it was enough to send Link flying a good distance, and give him some pain.
Link landed face first in the cold snow, which luckily broke his fall. He very slowly stood up, and it was very difficult for him, because he was in a great deal of pain. He looked over at Samus, and she launched a laser chain his direction, and it wrapped around his feet. She then gave a large tug, which pulled Link down again. If not for the soft snow breaking his fall, he probably would have cracked his head open. She then swung the chain over her head towards the ground on the opposite side of her, which caused Link to follow, and hit the snow, again. Samus continued to swing Link around, until he stopped struggling.
She then retracted her chain and walked over to Link. Shaking her head, she looked down at Link. "I thought you would be a much greater challenge kid. No matter, it ends now."
But all of a sudden, there was an intense shake. Samus looked around, and saw the mountain crumbling down under her. Samus was used to this sort of thing, but she was still a bit worried. She jumped up to the bridge above her, and then jumped up to a small snow covered cliff.
Link just lied there, with his eyes closed, trying to fight off the pain. He didn't even realize the entire mountain was crumbling down around him. He was in much pain, and was very scarred up. But then, for no reason, snow began to fall. A light flake touched Links closed and bloody eye, which caused him to slowly open it. And like an angel reaching down from heaven, a heart container fell down from the sky, and landed on Link. And miraculously, all of his wounds healed, his blood disappeared, and his strength came back to him. He felt like he had been reborn, revived from an utter death.
He stood up and swung his sword. He quickly noticed the mountain crumbling, and figured he should reach higher ground quickly, so he jumped up to the same bridge Samus had. He looked over at Samus and gave her a wide grin. He saw the shocked movements her body was making, being that he couldn't see her face, which also had a shocked look on it. She couldn't imagine how he had been healed, she severely injured him, and now he was in perfect condition.
But she did not have much more time to think, because where she was standing began to crumble. The two started jumping up the platforms, and the mountain under them began to crumble away more and more rapidly. This continued for at least another five minutes, and then it just abruptly stopped. The two warriors looked at the ground under them, and it made no signs of crumbling.
They decided that it was now safe to continue fighting, so they did. Samus tried to catch Link off guard by launching her chain at him again, but Link noticed and used his sword to chop the chain in half. He then decided it was time to end the battle. He jumped very high over Samus, and prepared to perform a wall jump off of the cliff behind Samus. She realized what he was doing, and she quickly turned around. He hit the cliff wall, and Samus launched a large laser sphere at him, but was too late. He had already launched himself off the wall before the sphere reached him, and the ball instead hit the cliff and caused a large crack to appear in the cliff.
Link landed on his feet behind her, and he drew his sword. She turned around to see Link jabbing his sword through her armor and body, right in the gut. She looked down at the sword in her belly. It was stained red with blood, and more blood was pouring from her wound. She then looked up at Link, who had a solemn look on his face. He then looked up to see that where Samus had shot the cliff a large piece of it was about to fall down.
Link looked at Samus's eyes through her visor. "I'm sorry." Upon saying this, he withdrew his sword from her and jumped away to a different platform. Samus placed her hands over the wound on her belly, and looked up at the now falling snowy boulder. It landed right behind her, and cracked the platform she was standing on off the cliff it was connected to, sending it and her into oblivion.
Link was teleported back to stadium, and was greeted with a hug from Zelda. "I thought you were a goner!" She said while clearing the tears in her eyes. Link just smiled and reassured her he was okay, as they walked back down into the crowd. Falco wasn't there yet, the medical team was trying to repair his beak.
The fighters were all talking about the fight, and Falcon had to be separated for making the other warriors mad enough to want to kill him. He would be returned after the next fight. The Polygon creature walked up to the microphone once againg to announce the next battle.
