Dr. Mario VS. Roy
A small yellow platform carrying a doctor on it materialized in the air. The platform disappeared just as fast leaving Dr. Mario in the new area. Bricks and ?-Blocks floated in the air. In the distance tall mushrooms with goombas and koopas walking back and forth on top of them could be seen. Clouds floated lazily across the sky peering down on the world below with beady black eyes.
Dr. Mario heard another yellow platform appearing and saw Roy materialize about thirty feet away. The red haired swordsman glanced around the Mushroom Kingdom, taking in the strange scene when an announcer's voice started a countdown.
"3...2...1...GO!"
Hearing the signal Dr. Mario and Roy dashed at eachother. The met eachother under a line of brick-blocks, Roy swung his sword and created a small explosion.
Dr. Mario backflipped away and tossed a Mega-Vitamin straight at Roy's head. The small medicine hit Roy in the face with surprising force and knocked him on his back. Dr. Mario jumped and stomped onto Roy's stomach and shot a Mega-Vitamin at Roy's head again.
After taking another hit to the face Roy swung his sword just barely missed as the doctor jumped off of him. Roy got up and ran for the doctor again. Roy attacked faster than his foe had expected and began to slice through the good doctor with the Sword of Seals glowing brighter with every attack.
Just before the sword exploded with light Dr. Mario ducked under a slice and threw another pill at Roy.
Roy blocked the shot with his sword and once again began to chop forward in an attempt to hit the doc.
Dr. Mario rolled backwards and reached behind his back. Not giving him another chance to grab a pill Roy tried to stab Dr. Mario through the chest. However instead of a vitamin the doctor pulled out a cape and smacked Roy's sword away with it turning him in the opposite direction. Dr. Mario then kicked Roy in the back, knocking him over.
Roy caught himself on his fall and pushed back up while spinning around with his sword, releasing a small amount of flames as he did.
Dr. Mario jumped away and began to throw more pills at the sword-weilding foe. Roy countered each one sending them back at the doc, who sent them back at Roy using his cape, who sent them back at Dr. Mario with a counter, who...you get the idea.
Suddenly a small gray device appeared in the air and landed on Dr. Mario's head. The strange thing distracted him long enough for him to be hit be his pills. While recovering from the vitamin assault Roy grabbed him and used his Blazer, releasing a large amount of flames onto Dr. Mario and sending him flying, crashing through the bricks above.
Dr. Mario's face was bleeding badly, some of his own blood getting into his eyes. The doctor wiped them away as he continued to soar into the sky. The speed of his ascension began to slow down and Dr. Mario could tell he would fall back down soon. Right back down to Roy. Things were looking hopeless for the doc when he spotted a blue POW block floating in front of him. He used his Super Jump Punch to bounce off of the air and smack the bottom of the block with his fist.
Meanwhile, Roy was waiting with his sword drawn for Dr. Mario to fall back down when he was pushed upwards by a tremendous force. It was strong enough to send him flying through two rows of bricks and then some.
As Dr. Mario fell he saw Roy coming up at him. He pushed his fist behind him and slammed it into Roy, sending him crashing down in a diagonal ark through more bricks.
Roy slowly pushed himself up. Being thrown up, punched down, and crashing through ten or so blocks made out of solid brick wasn't exactly comfortable. He saw Dr. Mario some distance away inspecting the object that had hit his head earlier.
Suddenly a purple beam came out of the blunt gray device in Dr. Mario hands, it formed a sharp object, giving off an immense heat. Dr. Mario swung the beamsword back and forth to get a feel for the weapon, then faced Roy.
Both opponents drew back their swords.
Meanwhile, the rest of the contestants were sitting peacefully in a park. It seemed to be located somewhere in a city, but was so big you almost couldn't tell. Trees dotted the landscape along with a fountain releasing a cool stream of water into the air. Oh, there was also a giant television set with surround sound speakers hooked up to it that was showing the fight between Roy and Dr. Mario.
Half of the contestants were socialising with one another while the other, more combat ready half, was watching the fight to find out more about their future opponents.
Samus however, had taken a break from watching the fight and began to focus on the wireframes that were currently serving Peach some hot tea. The things were neither dead nor living, and other than that her scanner could give no information on what these things were.
"Interested in them are you?"
Samus turned around and saw the massive floating hand that had organized the tournament. Samus simply nodded.
"I created them myself. They make the most wonderful servants." The hand said, only to float ominously in place afterward.
Samus for the first time tried to scan the hand, only to have the visor of her helmet shatter, the pieces flying outward. She let out a small cry of shock causing some of the other contestants to look in her direction.
"Everything is fine," said Master Hand "Ms. Aran is just having some trouble with her suit. Go back to your business please." Master Hand quieted his voice and floated closer to Samus. "I would not recommend trying that again Ms. Aran, something worse could happen the next time you do."
Samus just stared in fear and wondered how he had so easily broken her visor.
Dr. Mario ducked under a sweep from Roy and tried to stab upward with the beamsword only to have Roy counter and hit back. Dr. Mario quickly recovered from the blow and spun in a circle with his sword stretched outward. Such a primitive attack didn't faze Roy as he quickly jumped over it and swung at the doctor's head. Dr. Mario ducked and shot a pill upward hitting Roy in the face, toppling him over onto the ground. Dr. Mario took advantage of the situation and slashed at Roy while he was on the ground. Roy stabbed at Dr. Mario as he jumped up but missed as his target jumped into the air. Dr. Mario threw his sword downward, the strange tactic of throwing a sword catching Roy off guard as the item collided with his head.
However as soon as Dr. Mario had thrown the electric weapon it had reverted back into the gray hilt it had been before, causing only minimal damage as it bounced off Roy's head and fell into a pit in the ground a small distance away.
Seeing his opponent was weaponless again Roy charged at his foe, the adrenaline of battle finally getting to him as he let his rage take hold of him.
Dr. Mario didn't have time to attack as he was too busy dodging and ducking the attacks from his enraged opponent. Dr. Mario tried to whip out his cape only to have his arm stabbed in the elbow, causing him to drop the cape and have it blown away by the wind. He then tried throwing pills while dodging at the same time but Roy just sliced through them with his sword, which seemed to be more powerful as it glowed brightly, using its owners anger as fuel for its power.
Dr. Mario was too slow to dodge a low sweep at his legs and the burning metal sliced part way into his left ankle. Roy followed up with a Double Edge Dance, his sword glowing a different color with each strike until Roy's entire body seemed to glow along with his sword and he slashed Dr. Mario so hard it sent him flying into the distance.
Roy fell onto the ground, exhausted. The red-haired man sat himself up and sat his sword beside him.
It was still giving off smoke from its earlier attack.
Dr. Mario flew through the air at great speeds, his clothes still partly aflame from Roy's earlier assault. Now normally, when one flies through the air they would think they are done for once they hit land. However if that person happened to get lucky and landed in a warp pipe, which warped them right behind their opponent as he was resting with his back turned to you and didn't know you were there then you would probably think that instead of splattering you had become the luckiest person on Earth.
Coincidentally, this is just what happened to Dr. Mario.
The doctor looked at Roy, afraid he would turn around and slash at him any minute. The doctor quietly snuck closer to the swordsman and got out a pair ofelectric paddles and rubbed them together.
Roy turned around at hearing the sound and had the two medical devices shoved into his face. Roy fell backwards grabbing his face in pain. Dr. Mario kicked away the Sword of Seals before he began to beat Roy with the charged paddles
After getting past the initial pain of having them shoved into him a few times, Roy was able to realize who was attacking him. A beeping noise came from the paddles informing their owner that hte battery had ran out, so Dr. Mario put them away and took out an enormous syringe containing a bubbling green liquid. The doctor lifted it into the air and thrusted downward at his victim. Roy rolled away from Dr. Mario just before getting stabbed and saw his sword on the ground a good twenty feet away, just behind Dr. Mario.
The needle had stabbed into the ground and ejected the liquid. The strange green liquid melting the concrete around it.
Roy stared in horror wondering how horrible it would have been if he hadn't gotten away in time.
"Is that...acid?"
Dr. Mario just put on an innocent look that seemed to say "Acid? Me? Never...well maybe."
Roy gulped, wondering what the Dr. would pull out of his sleeve next. Oddly enough it was now that Dr. Mario reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small bottle. The doctor reached inside and pulled out a small red demon-looking creature.
"Fever!" Dr. Mario yelled as he threw the thing at Roy.
Not having enough time to properly dodge and nothing to defend with Roy was forced to hold his arms in front of his face as a defense. But instead of colliding with Roy the creature seemed to disappear into his body.
Roy checked himself and seemed to be totally unharmed, not counting previous injuries anyway.
Then he felt it.
His body temperature began rising quickly, his face turned red as sweat started to trickle down his forehead. His body was suffering from an incredible heat, and the temperature was rising. Roy collapsed onto his knees.
"I have to have a fever of 120 already...if I didn't have a resistance to heat thanks to fire being my element I'd already be dead ..." Roy thought as he grabbed his forehead, trying to push back the extreme pain from the fever.
While Roy was dealing with this Dr. Mario casually walked up to him and kicked him in the face. Roy was knocked onto his back, the heat making it too painful for him to move.
Dr. Mario waved his foot around, trying to cool it off after kicking the burning swordsman. He was too hot to hit with any physical attack, and if he used any pills it would cure the fever. Dr. Mario decided to just hang back and let the fever do its job. He didn't want to be so cruel but he didn't really have any options if he wanted to win.
Roy managed to open one of his eyes and saw his sword through blurry vision, and Dr. Mario didn't seem to be paying any attention to him anymore but Roy was too sick to try and figure out why. Using the last ounce of strength in his body he got up and dashed towards his weapon.
Dr. Mario saw this but didn't really care. Even if he managed to get his sword, Roy was too sick to be able to move fast enough to do anything. He would probably collapse before even making it to the sword. Dr. Mario decided to watch and find out if he was right.
Roy was just a few feet from the sword when his legs gave out and he fell.
Yep, right as always. Dr. Mario faced away, looking at the lovely view of clouds over the giant mushrooms.
Roy was trying to reach his sword with his hand, using all of his strength and will-power to move his hand. "Just a little more..." Roy's fingers touched the hilt. "Just a little...little more..."Roy's hand rested on the hilt, now he had to lift the sword and properly grab it. "Just...a...little...GOT IT!" the Sword of Seals eliminated the heat Roy had been feeling and filled him with energy.
Dr. Mario heard what sounded like a volcano eruption behind him and turned to see Roy standing up as if he had never even had a fever. But what surprised the doctor even more was that the Sword of Seals was actually on fire, a massive flame that was continually seeping out of the sword surrounding it and giving off amazing heat. Dr. Mario was puzzled before he remembered that Roy's sword had fire powers, and that Roy controlled them. Being fire, it's maximum strength was probably determined by how much heat Roy could stand. If his fire had been so strong at body temperature, then at the heat his body was now...
Roy pointed his sword behind him and it let out a massive jet of flame, propelling Roy forward like a rocket. He had reached Dr. Mario in less than a second and began to chop, cut, and stab at the doctor with his powered-up sword. A cloud of smoke started to surround the two due to the massive fire. Roy then hit Dr. Mario with an upward cut that sent him into the air, Roy jumped after him and spiked him down with the flaming sword.
Every stray ember and every cloud of smoke was absorbed into the sword, and Roy began to fill it with all of his energy causing the sword to glow a blindingly bright light. Roy then dived straight down and stabbed his victim straight through with his sword, the tip of his weapon hitting the ground and causing a massive eruption that exploded out of the ground and sent the doctor into the air.
Roy kneeled down, breathing deeply after putting all of his energy into the attack. He looked into the sky and saw Dr. Mario's charred body falling back down.
Dr. Mario fell through the air, barely able to keep his eyes open. As he fell he saw something materialize in the air in front of him. It looked like a circle with a cross-hair in it, and it was glowing brightly. Dr. Mario closed his eyes as he collided with the object and shattered it. Instead of feeling pain from the mysterious item he felt energy beginning to course through him. His cape returned to him and attached itself to his back, his pupils turned bright yellow and he started to glow. He had become Super Doctor Mario!
Roy watched the strange transformation from the ground, after watching Dr. Mario change a little he had just been floating in the air for the last few seconds like he didn't even know what happened. Roy saw Dr. Mario look at him and noticed there was something different about his face...in his eyes...
Super Doctor Mario flew at Roy and closed the gap between them instantly. Roy was too shocked to defend himself and Super Doctor Mario punched him in the stomach sending him flying sixty feet back. Then he flew behind Roy before he even hit the ground and kicked him into the sky. The flying doctor flew ahead of Roy again and spiked him back towards the ground.
Roy hit the ground hard and had cracked the cement where he had landed. Clenching his teeth he got up and held up his sword, charging energy for when the doctor attacked again.
Super Dr. Mario appeared behind him and threw a tiny blue virus at him. "Chills."
Roy suddenly felt an extreme coldness in his body. He turned around and saw the doctor and tried to strike him.
Super Dr. Mario grabbed the sword mid-strike and held it in place with seemingly no effort.
Roy tried to generate an explosion from the sword but nothing happened. Roy's eyes widened in shock and realisement. The fever and increased his fire-powers, the chills had...
Super Dr. Mario let go of the sword and gave Roy an uppercut sending him into the air. Super Dr. Mario chased him sky-ward again and caught up in not even a second before kicking the swordsman to the side sending him flying at least 100-feet in a straight line. He then reappeared behind Roy once again and punched him back to where he had been before. By again using his insane speed Super Dr. Mario appeared to where Roy was heading once again and slammed his knee into the back of Roy's head shooting him higher into the sky. This method of shooting Roy around in the air continued for almost five minutes, which seemed like an eternity to the helpless swordsman. Super Dr. Mario finally smacked Roy towards the ground, sending the poor boy crashing through a bricks until he hit a strange one that didn't break and a flower grew out of it. However the fact that he had crashed into it head first and it DIDN"T break showed how strong the block was, which in turn showed how much it hurt to hit it. Roy had only hit the corner of the block and never touched the flower, he only fell to the ground barely concious.
Super Dr. Mario floated downward. He could feel the mysterious power running out and decided to use everything that was left for one strong attack. He pulled out a single red-yellow pill and started to charge all of the fantastic energy into it, increasing its size and strangth.
Roy got off the ground, just barely able to stand and saw Dr. Mario in the air with a gigantic pill over his head. It was so big it would make an elephant seem tiny in comparison. Roy stood on wobbly feet as he stared at the enormous pill and knew exactly what Dr. Mario intended to do with it.
Dr. Mario's cape disappeared as he threw the pill full of his energy at Roy and he began to fall.
Roy leapt into the air in the direct path of the pill. "He may have taken away my powers but theres still one thing I can do without them..." Roy used his counter just as the pill hit him, sending it straight at Dr. Mario. However the force of the pill had knocked Roy back and he collided with the flower. He felt his fire powers return as well as a bit of energy. It wasn't much, but it was enough to let him run properly again...
The pill collided with Dr. Mario mid-fall and sent him into the air so high he was barely visible. After hitting its target the giant pill turned into hundreds of normal sized pills that shot upwards after Dr. Mario. The homing pills targeted him on his way back down and hit him like cannonballs. As the pills continued to pelt him the energy put inside of them began to react and caused them to explode. Pretty soon Dr. Mario was getting hit by living fireworks, lighting up the sky with explosions and him in the center of it all. One final, massive explosion sent him flying downwards to the ground.
Dr. Mario opened his eyes and saw the blue sky above him. The wind rushed up behind him as he fell, making a loud roaring noise that somehow calmed him.
Roy ran to the spot that Dr. Mario was falling to.
Dr. Mario gazed up at all the clouds, looking at him with what seemed to be pity. Was something bad about to happen to him?
Roy got to the spot and pulled back his sword.
Dr. Mario closed his eyes as he continued to fall. Oh well, it didn't matter if something happened to him now, if this would be his last memory he would be fine with that. He had spent so much time in his office that he had never really appreciated things like the skies, or clouds and winds until now.
Roy stabbed upwards with his sword and stabbed straight through Dr. Mario's chest once again.
His tranquility was shattered as Dr. Mario felt a stinging pain in his chest. The stinging pain quickly turned into a burning one and grew even more painful. As Roy continued to fill the Sword of Seals with his own life energy, having already depleted everything else, the sword grew hotter and hotter. And since it was in Dr. Mario, so did he. Soon Dr. Mario felt nothing but a burning pain in his entire body, it was like he was being cooked alive from the inside out.
Roy screamed loudly as he finished filling the sword with all of his energy.
At this point Dr. Mario's entire body was glowing due to the fact that there was a raging inferno of fire inside him that had already turned most of his organs to ashes, as well as the brightly glowing Sword of Seals heating him up even more.
Roy took a deep breath and screamed "Flare Blade!"
A fiery explosion engulfed both warriors as the Sword of Seals let out all it could, the massive blast destroying any nearby blocks and filing the air with embers.
Once the smoke and fire had cleared Roy could be seen standing in the center of a crater, his sword pointed up into the air to where Dr. Mario had been.
Not even ashes were left.
Roy began to feel dizzy as he felt the toll for using life energy to fuel an attack. An announcer's voice echoed over the battlefield. "This games winner is–"
That was all Roy heard before he blacked out.
A small light lit up in the park and then disappeared, leaving Roy's body and a Dr. Mario trophy where it had been. Roy's body was completely healed as he rested peacefully on the grass.
"It seems Roy was the winner." boomed the voice of Master Hand as some Wire Frames came and took Roy away on a stretcher to be put in a proper bed until he woke up.
"Well then, lets get onto the next round shall we?"
"Hold up." said Fox.
"Something wrong Mr. McCloud?"
"I wanna see a roster. I'd like to know who I'm gonna be fighting."
A roster appeared on the giant television.
Roy
Ice Climbers VS Pichu
Peach VS Luigi
Ganondorf VS Zelda
Young Link VS Mr. Game&Watch
Samus VS Marth
Fox VS Falco
Kirby VS Ristar
Mewtwo VS Donkey Kong
Yoshi VS Pikachu
Mario VS Jigglypuff
Ness VS Captain Falcon
Bowser VS Link
"Now that everyone has seen who their opponents will be, can we PLEASEget on with the next match!?" yelled the giant hand, who seemed to be rather impatient about getting the fight started.
A soft light appeared on a little hill, and the Ice Climbers and Pichu walked into it. The light disappeared along with the fighters, taking them to their arena.
Author's Note: Yes, I've decided that there will be a real story. It will be a small one but each little intermission that happens during a fight will have a point. So you can go ahead and forget what I said in the AN last chapter about ignoring the story in a review...but please keep the main focus on the battles if you do review.
This fight was a little longer than I had planned, but please tell me what you think of it. And what you think of the length...I'd like to know how long I should make each of these fights. I don't want them to be short and pointless, but if they get too long then they might get boring. Please tell me what you think (longer or shorter than this fight? Or maybe about the same?).
Easter Eggs:
1) Roy's fever attack is somewhat based off of Ike's Final Smash in Brawl.
2) The little red thing Dr. Mario threw was a red virus.
3) Fever is the name of the Dr. Mario theme in Melee. Chills is the name of a musical theme in Dr. Mario 64.
4) The POW block could be found in the original SSB in the original Mushroom Kingdom course, when attacked it had similar effects to the one in this story.
5) The electric paddles Dr. Mario used are those things doctors rub together and stamp on a persons chest when their heart fails...i forgot what they are called...so I just called them paddles.
6) The small yellow platform is what every character appears on the battle stage on right before a match in Melee.
7) Yes, it was a Smash Ball that Dr. Mario collided with. I completely made up Dr. Mario's Final Smash though.
