Chapter Two:

Time to Fight

"Ganondorf!" Zelda hissed. Despite her exhaustion, she was very alert and filled with anger. "Link! Ganon… he's returned!" Zelda whispered to Link.

Link nodded. "I know. But why should we let that get in the way of what we're here for? I have a feeling we can exterminate Ganondorf once and for all in this Tournament," he said.

Zelda was lost. Again. "Tournament? What Tournament? Link, I really can't focus." She admitted.

Link turned her and looked into her eyes. "It's a lot to take it, but we're in a Tournament in a place called Smash City. All you do in these Tournaments is fight. There's no rules, really. Even death is allowed." He swallowed hard. "I didn't want you to come when I heard that part." He said.

Zelda widened her big blue eyes. She was horrified. A battle just for some silly little Tournament? Death for a small battle? It was maddening!

"Link… I can't fight well, I really can't. Nothing compared to what these other people might be able to do, of course." She spread her arm, indicating the other people lounging around the large and cozy room.

"I think you can fight fine," Link said. "But you don't believe you can. That's a drawback. If you think you can, well, then you can."

Zelda smiled at Link. She was so glad to have him there with her, explaining all this madness to her. "But my magic is limited in a sort of way, in a way that it sucks up my energy. Would I be able to last?" she asked worriedly. Link nodded determinedly.

"And what about Hyrule? Who's taking care of it?" Zelda questioned. Link sighed. "I really don't know," he admitted. He put on a nervous expression. "But, hopefully, with Ganon here, there shouldn't be any real trouble… at least, I hope not." He said.

"All Smashers please come to the Iron Table Room," a large voice boomed. Zelda shuddered. "Who or what was that?" She asked Link. He looked at her grimly. "The Master Hand. The big boss." He said.

Zelda and Link followed the other Smashers to the room just beyond this one, and when the all piled in, Zelda saw what was in the room. The whole room was metallic, made completely out of iron and metal. A huge, square Iron Table was in the center of the room, surrounded by about 30 seats. Each seat had a name engraved or carved into it somehow. There were large bay windows at the end of the room, covering the whole wall. Zelda found hers next to Link, and Young Link beyond Link.

But the person next to Zelda was Ganondorf. She cringed and recoiled from his nasty grin. It looked like each group of seats housed certain characters from the same video games. Zelda wished Ganondorf was in another video game! She had a sickly feeling in the pit of her stomach and she felt like throwing up. Ganon let out a low, evil laugh, right in poor Zelda's ear. "I'm back, little Princess. And I'm certainly not happy that you're here. But, it'll be so easy to kill you, won't it?" he whispered.

Zelda almost fainted. But she was braver than that. "I'm certainly not thrilled to see you alive, Ganon, but I will dispose of your evil dark filth in due time." It was a bluff. Zelda wasn't completely sure she could get rid of Ganon, but it was worth a try during the Tournament.

"Smashers! It is time introduce you all to one another. Let me introduce myself first. I am Master Hand. You will all listen to me and obey me. I am called Master Hand for a reason. Disobeying me will lead to very unpleasant consequences. Understood?"

The Smashers all nodded quickly and silently.

"Good. Now time to introduce everyone! First off, we have the characters from the Fire Emblem, Marth and Roy!" Marth andRoy stoodup and there was a littleapplause. Then they sat back down.

"Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff!" The four Pokemon stood up, then sat back down. Mewtwo looked slightly irritated.

"Zelda, Link, Young Link, and Ganondorf!" Zelda rose with the others, trying to look as calm and at ease as possible. But it was hard. Ganon's words were still haunting her. Zelda got some interested glances and winks from a few of the male Smashers, but she pretended not to notice.

"Ice climbers! Ness! Captain Falcon! Falco and Fox! Bowser, Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Dr.Mario! Samus Aran! Yoshi! Kirby! Donkey Kong! Mr.Game & Watch!" Master Hand droned on, naming off all the people in the room. Finally, he was done.

"These are all the people you will start out fighting. But there are… others. Newcomers. Now. It is time for our first match!"

Suddenly, everything starting spinning. When the spinning was over, Zelda found herself standing among the ruins of what looked like Hyrule Castle. She was on a stone platform on the far left side. Then, she noticed Marth appear on the far right side of the stage. Then, she saw all the other Smashers, including Link and Ganon, standing down below and in front of the stage, watching with eager and nervous expressions.

"Our first match is Zelda Vs. Marth! There are no rules! Last one standing! FIGHT!!!" Master Hand boomed loudly.
