They could hear the familiar roar of the crowd, chanting FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Together they walked through a familiar stone hallway, with a steel gate blocking the exit. They were fighting newcomers, Ike and Lucario. "AND IN THE OTHER CORNER," Crazy Hand's voiced boomed in the mic,"THE HERO OF TIME, LINK!" The gate opened and Link ran out. He looked around to see thousands of people cheering his name. He saw his friends and enemies watching him from the front row seats. He screamed at the crowd, and they screamed back. He jumped into the ring and looked at Ike. Ike nodded in approval and got ready.
"AND RIGHT BEHIND HIM, YOUR FAVORITE MUSTACHED SMASHER, MAAAAARIOOOOO!" People chanted his name in three syllables, but he payed no attention to them and ran straight to Link.
"Remember what we went over," Mario whispered to Link. Link nodded, studying Ike. He looked a lot stronger and taller. They had fought 1 on 1 before, but Link had lost. He got in fighting stance and the bell went ding. Ike charged straight for Link as Link ducked and kicked his feet out from under him. Ike jumped up and charged again. This time, he tackled Link right into the soft floor and held his arms down. Ike put one arm on Link's arm, a leg on his legs and the other leg pinning down his other arm. Ike punched Link right in the head. His head bounced around and he was dizzy for a second.
"Tag in, TAG IN!" Mario yelled at Link. Link focused and dodged Ike's next head punch, which bounced awkwardly of his neck. Link reached his hand out as far as it would go, and it met a familiar glove. Without wasting half a second, Mario leaped over the ring and kicked Ike as hard as he could, which through him off Link. Ike rolled, and Mario looked into Link's eyes. Link stood up and jumped out of the ring. A primid brought him a glass of water and a mushroom.
Ike stood up, holding his gut where Mario kicked him. He grunted in pain, but threw it aside and started approaching the little man. He swung his fist at an amazing speed towards him, but the hat-less plumber ducked and hit Ike's jaw with an uppercut. He heard a crunch as Ike flew into the air and landed on the ring. The audience loved this. He slumped, his jaw throbbing in pain. A pokemon touched his hand and flew into the air.
Link watched as the two had hand to hand combat. Both were incredibly fast and powerful, rarely landing hits. Link took another sip of water and sat down. Damn, he hit me good,the would-be swordsman thought. The two smashers engaged in battle were battered and bruised, tired of exchanging blows. Link walked to the ring and said, "Tag in!" Mario turned to see his partner and slapped his hand.
Lucario was about to tag out with his blue-haired companion when a kick to the head, delivered by Link, knocked him down. "TAG IN! TAG IN TAG IN TAG IN!" Ike yelled as the blonde picked him up off the ground. The roar of the crowd faded and mixed with Ike's yelling mixed when a final punch from ink made him see black.
Once again, R&R! Thank you :3
