Peach looked forward, but kept her eyes closed in disgust. She had not seen the explosion that killed Toon Link, nor his body parts being torn apart. Though she did when she inadvertently did the same to Snake.

He shot a missile-a heat-seeking missile-to finish off Olimar. Unfortunately, his aim was off, and almost hit Peach instead. She was barely able to dodge it, but executed a duck-and-roll out of the way. The missile swung around, a long turn, that swung back to hit Peach. This time using quick movements, she quickly jumped in front of Snake-who was fighting Olimar in hand-to-hand combat manoeuvres-and then safely out of the way. Looking behind her, she saw Snake look up, and throw Olimar at the missile, but missed. Snake's eyes widened as he knew there was no escape.

As the missile hit Snake, and the explosion tore him to pieces-an event both Peach and Olimar watched from opposite ends of the battlefield-a song popped into her mind. As blood and chunks of meat flew everywhere she couldn't help get the lyrics out of her mind.

"Red like roses fills my dreams, and brings me to the place you rest."

A chunk of meat landed in Peach's hair, which she ignored. Glancing over at her last opponent, as frozen as she was, she kept thinking about the song.

"White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test."

There must be a reason why the lyrics were in her head, but she just looked around at the gore that covered the battlefield. She noticed a grenade at her feet, the pin not pulled. She picked it up, and took the pin out, and threw it at the centre of the stage.

"Black the beast descends from shadows."

Quickly snapping out of their trances, Olimar plucked three Pikmin from the ground-two Red and a Purple-to add to his army of the four he had before-two Blue, one Yellow and a White. Quickly, Olimar picked up the yellow Pikmin and threw it at Peach, who just realized that her dress had been ripped from the explosions splash damage.

"Yellow beauty burns gold."

Peach quickly came to her senses and jumped up in an arch, right over the electricity-filled Pikmin flying towards her. Doing a flip, she grabbed the Pikmin by the flower on the top of his head, she quickly gained a grip and whipped it back in the direction it came.

Fear overcame Olimar, who threw a second Pikmin-a Red one-at the incoming Yellow one. The second Pikmin quickly collided with the first, and they both turned into ghosts-Pikmin did that when they died. Then, almost immediately, Olimar threw two more Pikmin at Peach-a White, poisonous one, and another Red one. The white Pikmin latched on to Peach, and hit her, injecting it's poison into her. She quickly grabbed it, launching it quickly into the ground. Coughing, Peach grabbed the Red Pikmin that latched onto the bottom of what was left of her dress, and lit it on fire, flames engulfing her, and heat eating away at her legs. "That's it!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

She threw the Red Pikmin and hurled it quickly at Olimar, whose suit instantly caught fire. Panicking, he grabbed the Blue Pikmin and started hitting himself with it-putting it out. Yellow = Electric, Red = Fire, White = Poison and Blue = Water. shenoted, silently. She coughed again, and felt weaker. Suddenly, she fell to the ground, and noticed the Purple Pikmin climbing over her head. She coughed again, gagging up vomit. Then she noticed a warm pain gathering inside her chest. She coughed again, then three more times.

Peach clutched her stomach, but as she did, her eyes closed and she laid limply on the ground. Olimar walked over, curious to see if she was dead, and nudged her with his boot. Quickly, she latched out and grabbed his leg, and swung him over her body. He landed with a thud on the ground next to her, and she stood up.

"How," she started, coughing, "do you like it!?" she yelled those last words, and picked up a White Pikmin, and threw it at Olimar. In pain, Peach knelt onto one knee, clutching her stomach. She was going to vomit again.

Zelda looked at Peach. Either she or Olimar were going to die, and Peach did not look good. She looked sick-green in the face, and she didn't look sane. "Peach...?" Zelda whispered, Link and Ganondorf looked at her as she did. Zelda put her hands up to her chest, and closed her eyes. "Now or never."

Mario glanced at the television screen. Pikachu was at his feet, also looking at it, but not exactly paying attention to it. Mario wanted Peach to be okay, more than anything. That's what his whole life revolved around: keeping Princess Peach safe. Now, she had to fend for herself. It gave Mario an odd feeling of anger, betrayal and joy. As he focused his gaze at Peach, he whispered three words. "Now or never."

Lucario gazed up at the screen. "Remember what I told you." he said, smirking. For the first time, Lucario was actually happy. Peach was winning-her aura told him so. She would not give up so easily. "Now or never, Princess Toadstool."

Marth looked back at Lucario, over his shoulder. "Now or never." Lucario said.

Peach heard everything at once. A chorus saying three words echoed in her brain. "Now or never." she said, punching the ground. Dust rose up from the ground, but they could still be seen. She picked up the two Red Pikmin and hurled them at a coughing Olimar. Then she threw the Yellow Pikmin at her opponent. "I've had enough!" she yelled at him, throwing every last Pikmin onto his shivering body.

As smoke from fires started clouding around the two fighters on the battlefield, everyone watching was curious about who the last man standing would be.

Then, they heard it. A low sound. A yawn, coming from Tabuu. "Boring!" their captor yawned, mouth covered by his almost-holographic hand. "Let's make this more interesting." he snarled, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Even Princess Peach and Olimar's spines, as they heard the low rumbling sound steadily coming towards them.

Tabuu laughed, the menacing sound bouncing off the walls of both Mario and Pikachu's room, and the main room, as well as booming from the sky of the battlefield. "Let's get this party started." Tabuu chuckled.
