"And before Falco showed up, I was with Fox. I've been replaced TWICE now, so if you think about abandoning me I will cut you in half." Samus looked at her new partner. He was very very small and wore a mask with yellow eyes that glowed through.
"Do not worry malady," Meta Knight said. "Honor is my life. Together, we will win this tournament. And if we don't, we'll win the next."
1 year later (Present time)
Link and Meta Knight stood at two corners of the ring. He's so small, Link thought. The crowd cheered behind him. It was their second tournament match, three days after the one with Ike. Master Hand hovered in the announcer's box. The bell went ding and the fight commenced.
The two circled in the ring, never breaking eye contact. Meta Knight rushed him and jumped in the air, right in front of Link's face. He kicked, and Link ducked. Meta Knight brought his foot down onto Link's head and jumped off. Link growled. He's such an awkward fighter.
The elf ran at the puffball. He tried to grab him, but the winged knight dunked under him and kicked his legs out from under him. Link tripped and hit the ground hard. He jumped on Link's back and grabbed his hair, pulling it back and slamming his head into the ground. Link jumped up and MK flew off of him.
"Tag in!" Mario said. Link turned his head to see his partner right behind him. "Maybe you can smack some sense into this puffball," Link said, smacking his hand. Mario leaped into the ring. Mario was considerably shorter than Link, and was only a foot taller than MK. As he rushed Mario, he sidestepped the knight and grabbed him. He spun him around and threw him into the lines of the ring. MK stood up to see Mario running towards him. Using all his power, MK lept towards Mario at full speed, knocking him down. MK kicked him in the gut and Mario rolled away and got back on his feet. As MK sped toward him once more, Mario punched him, sending him from one side of the ring to the other.
"Meta Knight, tag in!" Samus held her hand in front of his face. He slapped it, and Samus jumped into the ring through the ropes. MK rolled off the stage, tired.
Mario dashed towards the bounty hunter, but she used her signature hair-garbbing move on him.
She grabbed his hair, swung herself over him, and using the momentum, threw him, straight into the ground. Mario had the air knocked out of him.
"Tag in, TAG IN!" Link held his hand out as far as he could. Mario reached for it, but Samus grabbed Link's hand and twisted it. Link pulled out. Mario was done for. Samus wrapped her hands around Mario's neck, and he tried to pry them off. But it was no use. His vision started fading and he blacked out.
Most of the crowd had left. MK and Mario had left, Mario resting in his room. Primids filled the stands sweeping and picking up trash. Link, Samus and Falco were talking in a VIP section.
"I was a little disappointed I didn't get to hand your ass to you Samus," Link said.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Falco said.
"Shut up, bird brain. At least I can win a fight." Link replied.
"It's true Falco," Samus said. "You haven't won either of your fights yet. I bet Fox is wishing we were still partners."
"For your information, he does not. Me and Fox make a great team, we were just unlucky."
Bowser was beating up Marth in the second tournament. Link was watching from the front row, where all the smashers sit. Bowser was slamming Marth's head into the ground when Zelda tagged in. She punched Bowser in the nose as hard as he could, and he fell back. She punched him and kicked him with all her might. Bowser crawled back and Ganon tagged in an kicked Zelda back. He grabbed her up and began to choke her. Her face turned purple.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Link yelled.
