"Impossible!" he yelled, his voice booming through the room. "The doors are only supposed to open if one person is alive!"

None of the Smashers paid attention to him though, their gazes were focused on the two silhouettes in the doorway, hidden by smoke. One was tall and skinny, while the other was short and fat. They were both coughing very hard, and it seemed like they were both going to double over and die.

Zelda quickly pushed through the group of Smashers, and held her hands in the air. "Tle mhet eb dalehe!" she yelled, sticking both her arms out in front of her and at Peach and Olimar. Almost instantly, they started to glow a light blue-white colour, before fainting. She turned back to the others. "Don't worry," she started, "they'll be okay. I just removed the poison from them." she said, hands on hips and smiling.

Tabuu scoffed at her. "Very well, I'll let them live. But no more!" he yelled, and held up four more cards. Ike, Link, Falco and Red were the four chosen fighters.

Link looked at the screen, and then adjusted his hat and gripped his sword-the Master Sword-with his left hand before walking into the hallway that brought people to the battlefield. He looked behind him, and Falco quickly ran up. "Hey, good luck out there, okay?" Link nodded. As he was about to speak, Ike ran past them, slowly, and glared at his two opponents. Red quickly followed him. They were both eager to get this thing over with-either they were very confident, or just wanted to die.

Mario looked at the screen in shock. He pondered, who could have died? The battle's over, but..? He ran to the trophy hall. Wario, King Dedede, Fox, Popo, Nana, Jigglypuff, R.O.B., Toon Link and Snake. Neither Olimar nor Peach's trophies were in the hallway meaning they were still alive. Standing on a purple pedestal at the end of the row was a trophy of Rayquaza. Over his shoulder, Pikachu whimpered as he looked at his frozen friends, and Mario knelt down beside him. "It's-a okay, little Pika."

Link, Ike, Falco and Red all glared at each other around the battlefield. Link held his bow out in front of him, arrow at the ready. Ike held his sword-the Ragnell-out with both hand in front of his chest. Falco had his blaster at the ready, reloading it as they glared at it. Red had a PokeBall in his hand, ready to throw it at any moment. "Well," Tabuu roared, calmly, "I'm waiting."

As he finished, Falco shot an entire clip of bullets at Ike, who rebounded them off his sword with ease, with one almost hitting Link, who unleashed a barrage of arrows at Red's Charizard-the Pokemon that came out of his PokeBall.

Almost as quickly as the fight started, smoke rose up and created a tornado around the battlefield. "Well, I wasn't expecting that so soon." Falco muttered under his breath, looking around.

Before long, arrows and bullets rose through the air, flames covered the ground, and the sound of swords clashing shook the earth. After the battle lasted half an hour, Tabuu snapped his fingers, and a large purple fog covered the area. Then, weird black bugs fell from the sky, and combined together to create a large creature. As the creature formed, the battle ceased. "What's going on!?" Ike yelled, panic in his voice. Link was about to answer before a dragon-like roar was let out throughout the land.

"You guys are getting good! Time to up the challenge!" Tabuu yelled, his voice raining down upon them like the bugs. Tabuu laughed. "You hear that!? You're all going to have fun now!" he yelled, his last words being cut off by the distant sounds of thunder.

Everyone in the large room, as well as Mario and Pikachu, heard the warning. Tabuu gave them. Throughout the rooms, there was only one response: "Uh-oh!"
