After a day of rest, today was a day where the Semi-finals kicked off.

The eight fighters were all waiting in either their room or in the lounge waiting to be called. And the rest of the fighters were either in the lounge as well, or in their room. The Semi-Finals worked like this, there would be four different fights. One-on-one fights with randomly selected fighters. Whoever won moved on to the finals. The finals worked the same way except for this time there were only two fights. And after that The Final Fight. Peach, Samus, Knight, Zelda, and Kirby, were all waiting in the lounge. Knight and Kirby were busy playing a game where you had to fight glitches within a game. Kirby was playing a guy using some kind of lightsaber, while Knight played a guy who uses a baseball bat. The girls were relaxing on the couches waiting for who would be fighting first.

"Who do you think is going first?" asked Peach.

"I'm betting that they'll make Bowser and Knight fight," said Zelda.

"Why's that?" asked Samus.

"The big guy versus the little guy. Why wouldn't you make'em fight?"

"Who do you think your fighting Samus?" asked Peach.

"I'm fine with whoever I fight. Who knows, I might end up fighting one of you." Samus smirked as she looked at Peach and Zelda. Peach smirked back.

"I'd beat your ass." Peach said with a giggle.

"Attention fighters!" said a loud voice from the speakers. "Today the Semi-Finals start! And it is now time for our first Semi-Final Fight!"

Everyone went quiet.

"Our first Semi-Final fight is, Knight versus Bowser! Bowser report to the meeting room 2 and Knight report to meeting room 3 in five minutes!" Knight paused the game and looked toward Zelda, but said nothing.

"Called it." she said.

"Well Knight," said Peach "Hope you're ready. Bowser can really pack a punch."

Knight got up and walked towards Peach. Knight wanted to ask for advice but, couldn't. Knight thought about how lucky Hornet was, she was made of Void as well but could still talk. Knight put his stubby hand on his chin and tried to think of a way to get the message across.

"Hey, remember when I told you you'll do great when we went out together? What I said there, also applies here." Peach's calming voice once again helped Knight. And once again he nodded in reply. "Just do your best out there, now get going."

As Peach spoke, Samus looked at the exchange. She thought about how Peach was so good at helping anyone out and it brought a smile to her face. Zelda took notice and smiled, but said nothing.

Knight walked toward the door to the meeting room, as he walked by Kirby waved at him for good luck. Knight waved back.

"He took out Ryu, I'm sure he'll be great." said Samus.

"He's such a cutie." said Zelda. "Peach, you said you and Samus found him in the woods, right?"

"Yup. The little guy was lost, I'm glad we found him."

"I wonder what his Ultimate will be."

"Well, will half to wait and see." said Samus

Knight walked down the hallway to meeting room 3, it was a long walk, but he soon found it. He was a few minutes early, but he didn't care. As he entered, he took note of what the room looked like. There was a small chair in the middle to sit on. As he sat down, he noticed a big metal door in front of him. He didn't pay much attention since the door opened again. The person that entered was a turtle in a wheelchair and was wearing big glasses.

"Hello, my name is Bentley." Bentley pulled a notebook, looked it over and then put in back in his pocket. "Okay, so this should be fairly simple."

Knight said nothing.

"It's a one on one fight, there are no items whatsoever, the only item there is, is a Smash Ball, which will only appear once. So, try your best to grab it. When you do get it, simple smash it to pieces and you'll be able to use your ultimate. It could change the fight very quickly if you acquire it."

Knight continued to say nothing. Bentley wasn't sure if this new fighter was daydreaming.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Knight looked down for a moment before answering. He wasn't sure what a Smash Ball was but figured he would know once he saw it. Other than that, he was sure he understood it fairly well. He nodded towards Bentley.

"Alright." Bentley moved towards the metal door. He pushed the button beside it and it opened. "Just step inside and you'll be on your way to the fight. Good luck, Bowser's one mean turtle."

Knight stepped inside and the door closed. The room started to move, it felt as if he was moving upward. Within a few moments it stopped, and the doors opened. Knight stepped out and was standing in the middle of the arena once again.

But it wasn't the same arena as before. Instead of a plain, rock looking arena, this one was a field of grass with four trees spread randomly throughout. Knight took note that the elevator was popping out from the ground and quickly shut closed and retreated back into the ground.

Knight looked across the arena, and there was Bowser stepping out of his elevator. Bowser looked right back at him, he also cracked his knuckles while smiling to intimidate Knight . . . It didn't work.

"Here we are, folks, the first fight of the Semi-Finals!" shouted Howard from the speakers. The audience roared with excitement, there was just something so thrilling seeing a small fighter against a bigger fighter. "Now Kreese I half to ask, publicly, for everyone to hear. How does it feel losing a bet? Since you bet fifty bucks on both Megaman and Ganon."

"Quit bugging me about that!" shouted Kreese.

"Well, today we've got a small little soulless warrior, Knight! And across from him, we've got our big fire breathing turtle, Bowser!"

"I ain't betting money this time! I'm just gonna watch and enjoy!"

Knight and Bowser walked closer to each other but stopped at a fair distance away just so they could hear each other.

"Alright shrimpy, you ready?" asked Bowser with the look of rage in his eyes.

Knight said nothing, instead, he drew his nail and took a fighting stance.

"That's what I like to hear." Bowser smiled.

"FIGHT!" yelled Howard and Kreese.

Bowser lunged towards Knight grabbing him, Bowser then jumped into the air and did a body slam. Knight shot his Abyss Shriek to get Bowser off, it worked but only sent bowser back a few feet. Bowser then started swinging his claws at Knight, Knight was quick enough to dodge but wasn't expecting Bowser to suddenly breathe fire. He used Sharp Shadow to avoid the attack.

The fire started to spread Within seconds the beautiful grass field became a scorching hellscape. Knight had to think of a way to get an upper hand.

"You might be a fast-little guy, but what I lack in speed I make up for with strength." Bowser spits out a huge fireball towards Knight, who dashed to the left, avoiding it. Knight started to think of a solution as Bowser continually attacked but missing every time. That's when Knight saw it, a Smash Ball, right beside one of the burning trees. Knight made a mad dash towards it. Jumping over the fire and avoiding Bowser's attacks. Soon, Bowser saw the Smash Ball as well, and he stopped attacking Knight and started running towards it.

Knight readied his nail, he remembered what Bentley said, just smash it.

Soon he was eight feet away.

Then six.

Then four.

Then right before Knight could slash at it, Bowser shoved Knight away, grabbed the Smash Ball, and crushed it to pieces. Bowser was now glowing with power, Knight looked at him with both curiosity and worry.

"Showtime." Bowser said with a grin.

Suddenly the arena was surrounded in a purple void, and Bowser was floating in the air. But he was ten times bigger than what he was, his horns were longer and larger. And he was aiming his fist at Knight.

Knight saw the large fist coming towards him, and he was running, hoping to avoid the attack. But when Knight got to the edge of the arena he had nowhere to go. He turned around and was greeted with Bowser's fist.

Accept, Knight never felt the strike. It hit him but it hurt him or send him flying. Soon the purple void disappeared, and the rest of the stadium could be seen.

Audience members were confused as to what just happened, Knight should have been knocked out but was still standing.

Knight was a bit confused until he looked into his cloak and looked at the charms he had equipped, one of them was Carefree Melody. Which would randomly prevent attacks from hitting.

Knight released a sigh of relief and soon turned his attention back to Bowser.

"What!? How did that miss!?" Bowser roared in frustration, breathing fire in the process.

"I don't know how it happened, but Knight seemed to dodge that attack!" cheered Howard.

"It seemed like he tanked it! Damn, tough little guy!" said Kreese.

Bowser began rushing towards Knight, his rage continued to grow. He hated that he just wasted a Smash ball and he hated Knight more now than ever.

Knight used Sharp Shadow to go right through Bowser, causing him to stutter in his movement. Knight then used the Weaver song charm to summon four weaverlings, all four crawled onto Bowser, biting endlessly.

While Bowser was distracted Knight took this moment to concentrate all his energy into his nail. Bowser did get all the weaverlings off but was soon greeted with a powerful slash from Knight.

Bowser was knocked over on his back, but before he could get back up Knight jumped over him and came crashing down using his Descending Dark. The force was so strong it pushed Bowser into the ground making a small crater.

Bowser was out cold, Knight stood on top of Bowser, victorious. Soon the fire had nothing to burn, and the arena was now no more than a scorched dead field.

The audience cheered with excitement and the sound of clapping echoed throughout the stadium. Soon Koopa Paratroopa's came flying in with ropes, once they tied them, they carried Bowser out of the arena.

The elevator from before popped up again, Knight walked inside and waited for it to open again.

Everyone, with a few exceptions, was all in the lounge. They were all watching the fight on the TV at the bar, drinking and commenting on the fight. Now that it was over most of them left, but the three girls wanted to graduate Knight when he walked in.

When Knight walked in he was greeted with clapping, Bayonetta told him his dive attack was great, Snake said that his "Baby spiders" were a great way to distract Bowser, and Kirby put his hand up for a high five.

Except this time, Knight finished the high five himself. Knight walked over to the bar where the three girls were. Peach looked at Knight with a warm smile.

"I knew you could do it." she said.

"What were those little spiders of yours?" asked Zelda. Knight summoned one of the weaverlings and gave it to Zelda. "Oh my god it's so cute!" the weaverling looked at Zelda, it really didn't know what to do. Normally they kill any threat near there bearer, but Zelda wasn't a threat, so it simply sat in the palm of her hand.

"Can I keep it?" Zelda's eyes were wide. Knight tilted his head in confusion. The weaverlings were bound to him so it would follow him wherever. Once again, Knight wished he could talk.

"Zelda," said Samus. "I don't think you can keep it."

"Aww, oh well." Zelda gave back to weaverling, and in an instant, it disappeared into Knight's cloak.

"Okay, I need to know." Knight looked at Samus. "How did you avoid Bowser's ultimate?" Knight opened his cloak, and showed them the charms he had equipped, he pointed toward the Carefree Melody charm.

"Oh, so it gives you a small amount of invincibility?"

Knight said nothing.

"I'm going to assume it is."

"Hey Knight, they have an army of goomba's fighting an army of Pikmin in the arena. Want to watch?" asked Peach. Knight figured why not. He sat next to Peach and looked up at the TV.

As he watched he wondered who he would be fighting next.
