Whee! More reviews! I feel so happy!
Pit: You're never sad…
I know. Isn't it great?
Pit: No…for once I'd like to see you be emo.
Too bad! I won't be emo until…uh..something makes me emo! So there!
Pit: Can we get on to the story, please?
Chapter Seven
Pit fidgeted nervously. He wanted to go over his moves, but couldn't. His bow would shake in his hands. He couldn't explain the feeling; when he had battled Link, Roy, and Marth, he was fine. Maybe it was because he didn't know who Fox was.
Roy came out of the portal to where his friends were meeting him.
"Beat him in two minutes," Roy grinned.
Pichu came out of the portal beside him, looking angry.
"Pi, pichu! Pichu pi pichu!" the little mouse spat.
"It's okay, little buddy. You're cuteness made me stop for a second and almost made me say, 'Aww…'" Roy pat the Pokemon on the head.
Satisfied with the compliment, Pichu straightened up and strutted out of the room. Samus then appeared out of the portal, muttering curses.
"Stupid Ganondorf," she murmured.
Ganondorf stepped out of his portal. "Eh…good battle, Samus?"
"I guess," Samus shook hands with him.
Ganondorf walked away, leaving Link and Zelda glaring after him. Samus sighed and sat down.
"He beat me, that bastard," Samus grumbled.
Pit came up next to her.
"It's okay," he said in an attempt to comfort her. He knew it probably wouldn't make her feel better because "It's okay" was said so much to those who were down that it had kind of lost its meaning. No one dared to say, "There's always next year," because Samus was never known for being patient.
"Zelda," Master's voice came over the intercom again, "Please report to the portal so that you may battle Ness."
"Bye all," Zelda stood and went to the portal.
The others turned to the screen to watch the battle. A few minutes later Zelda came back through the portal, smiling triumphantly.
"I won," she grinned to Link.
"Congrats," Marth said, even though the Hylian Princess probably wasn't listening.
"The Ice Climbers just finished fighting Falco, and Purin is up against Dr. Mario in the first arena and Captain Falcon is fighting Yoshi in a few minutes in the other arena. After those two battles are Link and Meta-Knight and Snake with Pikachu," Roy said, looking at the list.
"Oh man," Link sighed. "I haven't seen Meta-Knight train. Is he good?" Link questioned.
"Ask Kirby," Pit smiled, remembering his little friend that had introduced him to the others.
"Oh, right," Link said, leaving the observation room.
The others watched the battle. Just as Link's was going to begin, he came back.
"Meta-Knight is fast and strong, but light. A dodge and a strong slash should do the trick," Link grinned.
Master Hand called Link and Meta-Knight to the portal and Link waved to the others before he stepped in. Link emerged triumphant a few minutes later.
"I'm up against Wario," Marth stood up. "Mario told me about the fat old guy. He should be easy."
"Who knows," Zelda commented. "He may be strong."
Marth waved his hand as if he were waving off the subject. Then he stepped into the portal. Minutes later he came back out, smiling.
"You were wrong, Zelda," was all he said.
Pit noticed he was last with Fox. When it was his turn, he waved to his friends and stepped through the portal. He emerged on a flat arena swirling through the sky, and noticed a fox standing on its hind legs on the other side.
"Funny," Pit said aloud. "I don't remember foxes being like that. However, Zelda did say he was a humanoid."
"GO!" a computerized voice cried, and with great speed, Fox came charging at Pit.
Pit shot into the sky, and drew an arrow. He aimed it a few feet ahead of the dashing humanoid and released it. The arrow struck the vulpine, but he jumped up, and began to glow. Pit stared dumbly as Fox cried, "Fire!" and blasted at the angel. Pit wheeled back in the air before he flapped his wings and shot another arrow.
In a flash of blue light, Fox easily dodged the arrow, then drew out his gun. Firing relentlessly, Fox brought Pit's damage up. Pit finally escaped the path of the lasers and pulled his bow apart. He swooped down, spinning the swords, imagining Roy saying at the moment, "Hey, it's that move again!"
Even though Roy knew the move, Fox did not, and was cut by the bright blades. Leaping back, Fox knelt down and a ray of blue lights reflect off the vulpine. Pit didn't stop to wonder what it was and slashed at his opponent. An unknown force threw Pit backwards and Fox jumped up, throwing punches and kicks at the angel.
Pit was so desperate to escape the rain of blows he began to cut blindly, until Fox jumped away, and began firing with his gun again. Pit lifted himself into the sky, and merged his swords into a bow again. He fired four arrows at the vulpine; three struck Fox, but the humanoid wasn't affected much.
Fox jumped into the air, and another flash of blue appeared. For a split second, he was gone, but then Pit felt a hard smack on his side and Fox appeared behind him. Fox grabbed Pit's arms and threw him up, shooting him with his gun.
Pit came whirling down, knowing he was being beaten. He flapped his wings and brought himself back into the air, shooting more arrows. Fox was grinning for some unknown reason and dodged the arrows with ease. Knowing now he would get nowhere, Pit brought forward his broadswords and shot down.
Pit sliced once, twice, three times. The vulpine then began emitting the blue rays, which Pit had figured was a counter attack. He then remembered what Link had said about Fox and waited for the vulpine to stop, then, with perfect timing, sliced both his swords at the vulpine.
The humanoid went soaring with a cry of surprise. Pit breathed heavily, growing tired. He ran to the edge of the arena and peered down quickly as he watched Fox come back. Beneath him ran empty space, and he gulped. He saw Fox making his way back to the platform, and brought his swords up.
Fox began to glow again, and Pit sliced before the fire could get to him. Fox was shot back in the direction he had been trying to escape. There was flash of light and a cry from Fox.
"Game!" the computerized voice exclaimed.
Pit felt himself being lifted up, and the next moment, he was in the observation room again.
"I won," Pit grinned sheepishly.
The others complimented him, saying he had done great. Fox appeared next to Pit, coming from his portal.
"Good job, Pit," the vulpine said for the first time since Pit had arrived.
"Thanks," Pit smiled at the humanoid.
A smile tugged slightly at Fox's lips for a second, but the vulpine just flashed his fangs lightly as if to say, "Next time I'll beat you." in a friendly way. Fox exited the room, his tail flicking proudly behind him.
"Great," Samus hung her head. "Everyone goes to the next round but me.""Don't worry," Roy comforted. "We can always corner Ganondorf in the hall late at night and hit him with baseball bats. That'd be a satisfying vengeance for me."
"It's all right," Samus said, laughing for the first time since she had exited her portal. "Let's go eat dinner."
"I beat Mr. Game and Watch!" Young Link crowed at the dinner table.
Multiple Smashers rolled their eyes; Young Link's announcement was not a new one. Mr. Game and Watch himself contained his fury at the youngster.
"Attention, Smashers," Master's voice announced. "I'd like to congratulate the winners of the first round and compliment those who did not move on. In two days the tournament will continue, and good luck until then. I—" Master stopped abruptly. The Smashers rolled their eyes once again.
"Here-a we go…" Luigi said.
"No, no, not this time! Back! Back! Do you realize how embarrassing this is?"
A voice came over; no doubt it was Crazy.
"But you always get to speak over the Echo-Machine! Why can't I?"
There was pause, then, "Fine, say something to the Smashers."
There was a thump from the result of Crazy taking the place of Master. "Hello? Oh, joy! This is so exciting! What should I say?"
"Maybe you should turn the damn thing off and let us eat already," Bowser shouted, though he knew the left hand wouldn't hear him.
"Um…" Crazy thought a second. "I know! Let me sing a song! Ahem. I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts, diddle-ee-dee, here they are, standing in a row, two…three…four…big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. Give it a twist, a flick of the wrist, that's what the showman said, TCH!" Crazy imitated a crash cymbal and began laughing hysterically. There were a few more thumps.
"Okay, give it back to me now, Crazy…Crazy! No, don't smash it! Stop! Don't—!" There was a loud crunch and a continuous beep began ringing through the mansion. All Smashers except Mr. Game and Watch covered their ears.
"Beep boop beep bip," said Mr. Game and Watch.
"How is this music to your ears?" Kirby cried.
"Bip beep boop beep!" Mr. Game and Watch said, irritated. The 2-D man turned away from the pink puffball and crossed his arms.
After a minute the beep stopped. Master came through the majestic doors with Crazy snickering behind him.
"You need to pay for a new mike, Crazy," Master said in a low voice, but the Smashers closest to the end of the table heard him. Crazy nodded…um, himself, and reeled to the other end of the table, plopping down in his seat happily.
The food appeared, and the Smasher began digging in to the dinner.
"Um…" Crazy pondered about how to eat the food. He dumped his roast beef on himself, then the gravy, and began laughing again.
Master sighed and shook…uh…himself in disappointment.
"I wonder who I'm going against next?" Marth thought aloud.
"Master will post the list tomorrow," Roy informed.
"Can't wait," Pit said, biting into his roast beef.
The Smashers nodded in agreement, as their mouths were stuffed with food.
I feel so sorry for Samus, Pit sighed, spotting the bounty hunter in her normal blue suit, staring lifelessly at her meal.
There! More craziness from Crazy! I think I like making him weird because I'm a lefty…
Whatever!

Ah! Don't eat me…that's cannibalism, and it's frowned upon by most societies! (a la Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
I'm glad you like the craziness of Crazy, Master, Peach, and the littluns.

I know Link is Hylian, I just didn't want to write Hylian. I'm a lazy-ass. :P And DK, Luigi, Ganondorf, and Game and Watch will get bigger parts in the chapters to come.

Meta-Knight was beaten by Link, but that doesn't mean he won't train against Pit! And I've got a request for Snake and his very lovely box to appear, so stay tuned!
