Sorry for the long wait. I had two assignments handed to me at one time, and added with all the afterschool activities I do there was no time for me to start typing. Anyway, thanks for all the great reviews. I apologize for my dozens of grammar and punctuation mistakes in my previous chapters (I was horrified by the amount of mistakes I did). I will try to be more careful from now on.
It was the start of the Super Smash Bros Swordfight Competition. The 12 best swordsmen from the school were going to duke it out in the arena to see who would win the title of best swordfighter. The 12 were: Link, Marth, Roy, Ganondorf, Zabuza, Kisame, Ike, Metaknight, Ichigo, Megaman, Sasuke and to everyone's surprise, Zelda. The school was crowded in the arena and the fighters were waiting below in the quarters.
Master Hand's voice boomed out across the sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen, creatures from every planet, civilization and race, today we are gathered here to witness the skill and swordplay of twelve great warriors. Let the battles begin!"
First up was Sasuke and Megaman. They stepped into the materializer, which materialized them in an arena. Sasuke drew his sword while Megaman inserted his Electro Sword battle chip and charged.
"Oh, so you use electricity too?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Well, you aren't the only one with electric powers." Saying that Sasuke powered his Chidori down his blade.
The two blades clashed as the combatants twirled and whirled, slashing and blocking, stabbing and parrying.
"Amazing! This is certainly an electrifying duel!" Master Hand said.
"……."
"That was lame…." Samus said.
"What, I was only trying to make a joke, jeez." Master Hand sulked.
Megaman, with his battle chips, enhanced reflexes and power, was a deadly opponent but was really no match for Sasuke's Sharingan. The blue warrior fell after a few minutes. Next up was Ichigo and Ike. (I don't know much about either of them so I'll just say they had a very exciting battle which Ike somehow won). Next up was Link versus Roy. The two friends shook hands and got into their respective stances.
"Ready…set…..FIGHT!" the wire frame referee said.
Roy blocked Link's jump attack. They were clashing for a moment before Roy shoved Link away. As Link landed on his feet Roy charged, swinging his sword at the Hyrulian's torso. Link ducked and swiped at Roy's legs. The Altean jumped up and stabbed his sword down. Link rolled out of the way just in time.
"Hey, Ending Blow's my move!" Link huffed.
"Never saw you patent it!" Roy said as he charged once again. Link was ready this time. He would have just dragged him down with his Clawshot but as the rules of the swordfight says no other weapon may be used other than the sword, his bow, arrow, shield and all his gadgets were taken away at the start of the match. As Roy slashed down, Link sidestepped the blow and grabbed Roy's outstretched arm.
"Eh?" Roy said before Link flipped him over, Judo-style.
"OOF!" The air gushed out of Roy as Link leapt over him, Master Sword pointing downwards. Desperately Roy used the flat of his Sword of Seals to block the blow. Sparks flew as two legendary swords collided. The Master Sword was trying to pierce through the Sword of Seals, which in turn was trying to push it back. It was Roy's strength against Link's weight. Finally, Roy managed to push Link off. The two squared off again, and attacked with renewed vigour. Roy was tiring fast and he was in trouble. His Sword of Seals was heavier than the Master Sword, and having every blow blocked by the faster, nimbler and more skillful Link was draining him of strength and morale.
"Can't you just let me hit you once?" Roy yelled at the Hyrulian, who was blocking another of his blows. "I mean, you have already hit me six times!"
"Yeah, but I kicked you, not slashing you." Link retorted.
"Sad guy." Roy sniffed, then raised his sword up to defend against Link's new assault.
"Oh fine, stop being a crybaby. I'll let you hit me once. No swords though."
"Thanks!" Roy said and launched a punch at Link's face.
Link dodged it and threw Roy on the ground AGAIN.
"I was joking." Link said and stabbed Roy in the chest.
"THE WINNER IS LINK!" Master Hand announced.
The combatants rematerialized inside the waiting room.
"I knew it was too good to be true when you said you'd let me hit you." Roy grumbled as he sat back down.
"I can't believe you fell for that!" Marth said. "What if someone said that they were only going to talk to me and you let them through only for them to stab me in the ribs. This is a serious problem that you should address Roy."
"……."

The next fight was between Metaknight and Zabuza. As the match started, Zabuza used Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique to launch an early attack on the Star Warrior.
"That's not good." Metaknight goggled at the mass of water towered over him. Metaknight jumped out of the way, but was too slow, and was still hit by the attack. However, Metaknight had escaped the full brunt of the attack, and was only a bit stunned. As soon as he got up, he saw Zabuza charging with his zanbato. Metaknight raised Galaxia to block the strike; however the force of the attack was sufficient to knock the smaller warrior back.
"Unghhh." Metaknight's hand was sore from the impact. He charged Zabuza, striking with lightning speed. Zabuza was hard pressed. Although the size of his zanbato meant that he could block several attacks just by tilting it, the sheer speed and volume of Metaknight's assault made it impossible to block them all with a blade that heavy. When Zabuza finally managed to leap back, he was bleeding from several slashes and stabs.
"You are a strong opponent, worthy to be beheaded." Zabuza growled. He stabbed his zanbato into the ground and began to use some hand seals.
"Hidden Mist Technique!" he shouted.
Zabuza's jutsu covered the arena with a dense fog.
"What?" Metaknight exclaimed.
"By using my Hidden Mist Technique, I am hidden from you, and you are as good as blind." Zabuza's voice rang out.
"But you can't see either." Metaknight pointed out.
"I may not be able to see, but I have other ways to find you…." Zabuza's voice trailed off.
Metaknight was saved by instinct. He leaped out of the way just as Zabuza's zanbato struck where he was standing. Metaknight slashed in the direction of the attack, but no-one was there.
He's gone! Metaknight realized. How does he find out where I am? Metaknight was breathing heavily now. The surprise attack had startled him, and he was already a bit tired from the assault earlier. He uses sound! Metaknight thought. He knows where I am by my breathing and the sound of my movements. I should try the same. A moment later he dismissed the idea. My hearing is probably not as sharp as his, and he would have trained himself to be silent. Metaknight formed a plan. This is a risky plan. I must time it right.
Just as Zabuza's blade swung again, Metaknight ducked under the attack, Metaknight ducked under the attack and swung his cloak. It hit Zabuza.
"Galaxia Darkness!" Metaknight yelled triumphantly.
The arena was enveloped in darkness. Suddenly there was a flash of light as Metaknight slashed Zabuza with light.
The arena gradually became light again. The mist had cleared as well.
"THE WINNER IS METAKNIGHT!!!" Master Hand yelled, to the cheering of the crowd.
"Good fight Metaknight!" Roy said.
"Thank you, Roy."
Then it was Zelda and Ganondorf's turn.
"Are you sure you want to go up against Ganondorf?" Link was worried for Zelda.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Anyway, Ganon seems easier than that shark dude."
"Yeah, I agree." Link said. Ganon scowled.
"But how about Marth? You could fight him instead."
"Not enough of a challenge." Zelda sniffed.
"Eh?" Everyone looked at Zelda. Marth was one of the best swordsmen in the school. If he wasn't a challenge, then who is? They were all surprised, except for Link.
"So you are going to use that then." Link asked Zelda.
"Yes. I just hope Ganondorf hasn't worked out how to activate it in that form yet."
"Be careful, Zelda."
"I will." Saying that, Zelda gave Link a small kiss and walked into the arena with Ganondorf.
"NOW, WE HAVE ZELDA FROM HYRULE VERSUES GANONDORF FROM HYRULE. LET THE MATCH BEGIN!!!"
Zelda drew her rapier and stood ready. Ganondorf drew his huge sword and the two began to duel. The next minute went by in a blur. Everyone was gawking at the performance.
"AND THE WINNER IS ZELDA!!!" Master Hand yelled.
Zelda returned to the quarters, dragging Ganon behind her.
"Ganondorf, you were absolutely demolished!!!" Metaknight tutted.
"How did I ever take over Hyrule in the first place?" Ganon gasped at Zelda. "You could have easily stopped me!"
"Oh, I just liked having a brave young hero fighting all sort of evil beasts to save me." Zelda said, going over to Link.
"Nice fight Zelda, you learnt your lesson well." Link complimented.
"I should. The bruises you gave me in our training were there for ages! You have no idea how hard you hit."
The last match in this round was Marth versus Kisame. Sadly, Marth was defeated easily by the shark man.
"I don't envy the person who goes up against the fish. He is a brute." Marth said as he limped back into the quarters.
"You did your best, Marth." Zelda said.
"Yeah. Anyway, good luck in the next round."
"THAT'S IT FOR TODAY FOLKS! THE NEXT ROUND WILL BE HELD TOMORROW AFTERNOON!"
"Well, that was one hell of an afternoon, wasn't it, Crazy." Master Hand said to his brother, who was behind him
"Yeah….." Crazy agreed.
"Anyway, are you ready for the next round, challenger?" Master Hand said. Master Hand said.
"Pi….."
Gasp! The unthinkable! Since when did mice become excellent swordsmen? Sorry for the short fight scenes for most of the duels. My script was originally only supposed to be between Link and Zelda. I have tried to extend it. Anyway, please review. I also need suggestions for Pichuto. Anyone know any good Nintendo related subs for Hidan, Kakuzu and all of the Konoha 11 except for Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke? Again, please review.
