Lloyd opened his eyes to find himself on the far left of Spear Pillar. Meta Knight was across him, but on the other end of the stage. He quickly prepared a strategy before the announcer shouted 'Go!', and once it was called out he charged toward his opponent. Building up his fire elemental powers, he got as close as he dared to Meta Knight and shot forth the flames. To his surprise, Meta Knight was able to easily dodge them and appear behind him in a manner of seconds.

Lloyd had to back away quickly unless he wanted to get attacked. He sent a quick bolt of lightning toward his opponent and hoped that he would at least land a blow. The lightning curled and chased after Meta Knight and struck him, but not before he managed to get out his dagger-like weapon and attack.

Both Lloyd and Meta Knight got hit from their attacks, and both at around the same amount of damage. After swinging out his chigiriki, he began to run toward his opponent and was swinging the chain around like a helicopter. However, Meta Knight was a bit too quick for him and dodged underneath the weapon to get close and lash out.

'I'm not having any luck with this fight.' Lloyd realized while trying to recover. 'He's too quick for me. I'm going to have to slow him down.'

Before Meta Knight could attack again, Lloyd sent a quick jolt of lightning to stun his opponent. He quickly rushed toward him, jumped above him, and used his earth powers to get him stuck in the ground. He took a second to try and recover his elemental energies while Meta knight was struggling to get out.

Lloyd ran toward the disadvantaged opponent while preparing his Spinjitzu. He was about to begin the spinning part of the move, but Meta Knight managed to escape and slam into him. As he went flying, he noticed that there wouldn't be any time to recover if he DID manage to stop himself. 'That fight was over too quickly. I didn't even get to see any Pokémon!'

Although he lost the fight, Lloyd was still excited for his next challenge. This time, he had to go up against Samus. The stage was already set to go, and it was the Bridge of Eldin. He stepped on the platform and it sent him to the stage.

This time Lloyd was on the far right while Samus was across from him on the far left. This time, he had a different strategy. Once the announcer yelled for the fight to start, he waited and charged up his ice power. His opponent got a bit closer before charging up her gun so they both could send a more long-ranged shot. Just before she could shoot at him, he ran up a bit closer and send the ice toward Samus, freezing her in her place.

Lloyd didn't even take a minute to recover before attacking. He landed a series of kicks and punches to the frozen statue of his opponent before she could break free. Once the ice thinned from his onslaught of attacks, Samus broke out of the ice and kicked him out of her way.

Lloyd quickly got up before Samus could get any closer. He dodged a few shots from her gun and started feeling the ground shake a bit. He looked to both sides of the bridge and noticed a large creature on some kind of bull headed right for them. The center part of the bridge was weak already, and if he remembered how the stage went, then it would get blown up. Due to this, he knew to stay as far away as possible from both the center of the bridge and King Bulblin riding towards them.

While trying to dodge the attacks Samus gave from a distance, Lloyd was preparing himself to jump. The bridge was shaking even more violently at this point, and stayed that way when King Bulblin came riding from the Eastern side of the stage. Once the bomb was ignited and dropped, he ran towards the stage hazard and jumped as high as possible, clearing the King with almost no difficulty.

Lloyd and quickly to a safe part of the stage before the bomb went off. The bridge had stopped shaking at this point, but Samus was still trying to attack him from a distance, landing a blow every now and then. He looked over to the center of the bridge to see when the bomb would explode and noticed that his opponent was right next to the explosive device.

Lloyd couldn't do anything when the bomb went off. The center of the bridge blew up and fell to the pit below, taking Samus with it. He looked over the edge to see how far it was to the bottom, but couldn't see anything except an endless void of darkness and a tiny explosion of light.

Lloyd was just about ready for his challenge with the Ice Climbers. He got to pick the stage after discussing it with them, and he decided to go with what they would fight best in. The Summit. All three of them stepped onto the platform and got transported to the stage the challenge was set in.

Lloyd couldn't see where the Ice Climbers were from where he was standing, because he was in the cave-like groove in the right of the whole stage. He took the time to think of what to do before remembering how the Ice Climbers were strong. 'When they attack at the same time, they can send almost anyone off the stage. But when they're apart, you can knock them away easily! I'll have to find a way to separate Nana and Popo before I get beat up again.'

Lloyd heard the call for the challenge to start before leaping out into the open. The Ice Climbers were on the other side of the ice, and they were poking their heads over the jagged point at the top. He just stared at his opponents, they stared back at him, and it stayed like that until he shot a quick flame at them.

Lloyd watched the Ice Climbers duck out of the way and pop their heads up again with an expression that looked angry and surprised. Grinning, he sent a larger flame towards them. Again, their heads poked back up, but they looked even more upset. He sent a much larger flame at them, but now he backed it up with a bolt of lightning. Both of the attacks struck true, and left the far side of the ice silent. Too silent.

Lloyd was about to peer over the top of the iceberg, but right as he started to lean over the Ice Climbers jumped up, holding hands, and hammers ready to pound down on him. They combined their team efforts to smash their hammers into his side, dealing massive damage. In order to make sure that he didn't get hit again, he quickly spun around to perform Spinjitzu and hopefully deal some damage. Once he spun over to where the Ice Climbers were, he grabbed the arms of each of them and began spinning them in a circle.

Lloyd let the attack dissipate and he was about to drop the two opponents, but he felt the icy summit start to shake. He knew what was going to happen, and he quickly found a safe place to stay until it slid into the ocean below. The Ice Climbers he held still haven't recovered, and he placed one of them down where he was standing. Feeling a bit guilty for what he was about to do, he threw Nana toward the top of the icy mountain with all of his strength, right where they came from.

'Why did I do that?' Lloyd asked himself. 'I just threw a kid over the edge for them to essentially die in the ice!'

Right then, the ice finally stopped sliding and was floating in the ocean. Lloyd saw a burst of light from where he threw Nana, and noticed that Popo was starting to calm down and recover from the dizziness. He prepared himself for an attack while his last opponent looked around with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Lloyd had a moral war within himself for a few seconds before deciding what to do. Before Popo could fully retaliate, he picked up the kid and tossed him into the ocean, sending a bit of lightning for good measure. His opponent COULD have recovered in time to get back to the fight, but the lightning sent him out even further, blowing him up into multicolored light.

After returning to the stage selection room yet again, Lloyd found his next challenger waiting for him. This time, it was Sonic. The stage was Mushroomy Kingdom, the Mario themed stage that scrolled off to the side. 'It looks like this stage fits Sonic.' He thought as he stepped onto the platform. 'You have to be fast to get out of this stage alive.'

Lloyd was transported to the far left of the stage along with Sonic, both of them about as ready as possible to begin the stage. Once the announcer yelled 'Go!' he shot some lightning at his opponent to gain some ground further along in the moving stage. He decided to bring out his chigiriki at that point so if Sonic were to run close to him then he could trap him in the chain and swing him backwards.

To his luck (and surprise), Sonic fell for the simple trap and ran straight past Lloyd. He wasted no time in swinging the spiked weight toward his opponent and making sure it wrapped around Sonic tightly. Again, his plan worked a bit too perfect. He was able to send Sonic back towards the beginning of the stage, and they were barely past the first set of ? Blocks.

Lloyd ran on ahead, enjoying himself as he played through the game. He attacked the ? Blocks, and although he didn't get anything, he didn't really care. That was one mistake he REALLY should have thought over. He looked on ahead to where he had to go, and noticed that Sonic was ahead of him, with a Ray Gun.

Lloyd's eyes widened at the thought of Sonic with a Ray Gun. 'That guy's fast enough already, and if he starts shooting at me, I won't be able to dodge!' Right after his thought, he felt a powerful pulse hit his chest and knock him backwards a bit while dealing a fair amount of damage. He got back up quickly and shot out some lightning before spinning around in Spinjitzu. He hoped it would help reflect any attacks while moving fairly quickly, which didn't seem to work. All he achieved was dealing just a bit of damage to his opponent before one strong Spin Dash hit him square in the stomach and sending him flying off the stage.

Lloyd's hit to the stomach wasn't too bad, that is, not bad enough to be hospitalized for a few days. So instead he was allowed to be sent back to the stage selection room with only a warning to be a bit more careful around the quick challengers. Once he made it back, Pit was standing up to make the decision for the next stage.

After a bit of thinking, Lloyd noticed that Pit was ready to select a stage for them to fight on. He waited patiently while Pit's arm rose to try and pick the stage, the cursor flickering over the Smashville option.

"I hate his glitch!" Pit muttered angrily. "Just pick it already!"

Lloyd sighed before raising his own arm to try and help out his friend. A new cursor appeared on the screen, completely solid and moving smoothly. He dragged his hand over to where the button to pick the Animal Crossing themed stage and selected it, activating the platform to send them to their battleground.
