A/N: OK, so this will be the last group battle chapter before we go on for the big showdown. Had nothing to say here, but I will be doing the romantic chapter next. Please enjoy, don't flame and review.

Chapter 5: The last group battle

Last chapter, Luigi and Pichu had found out who is behind all of this and tried to find the others in the next morning. They spotted Luffy, Yoh, Roy, Anna and Young Link walking down the corridors.

"GUYS! GUYS!" Luigi cried as they ran up to them.

"What is it?" asked Yoh.

"We know who did it! We know who is behind all of this!" Pichu cried.

Young Link and Anna sighed and turned to Yoh and Roy. "Yoh, Roy, can you keep this a secret after the next match?"

"Sure thing" Roy said.

The 7 got into a huddle in the corner and told Yoh and Roy what happened.

"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING?!" Yoh gasped.

"THEY ARE HERE, IN THIS TOURNAMENT?!" Roy gasped.

"Yes… and they are trying to get their enemies to the finals so they could continue with their evil plans" Young Link said.

"This is adsorb!" Luigi roared "we should stop them before we made it to the final!"

"No!" Luffy said "then we could get found out and get captured before the match even begins."

"Speaking of match, Luffy" Roy said "you and Luigi should get going. The next round will start in 3 hours."

"Oh yeah" Luffy said "I've got to meet Fox by then. Come on Luigi!"

Luigi nodded and ran off. Luffy met up with Fox by the dining room with Krystal and Nami.

"Sorry I am late, Fox" Luffy said "so are you ready for the next match?"

"Sure am, but remember, we are fighting Zelda, Samus and Yoshi." Fox said "so we have to give it everything we got!"

"Be careful out there, Fox" Krystal said.

"You too, Luffy" Nami said.

"We will" Luffy and Fox said.

Goku and Naruto and Mario and Link were eating their breakfast (well, 2,000 plates if you count Goku and Naruto eating too much). Pikachu gave Yoshi a hug.

"Don't worry Yoshi" Pikachu said "even if you lose, I will still be proud of you."

"Thank you, Pikachu" Yoshi smiled.

Ichigo and Yugi saw Yoh look quite worried and decided not to ask him. Zelda and Krystal were outside talking.

"So Krystal, are you rooting for Fox on?" asked Zelda.

"Sure I am. I just hope he wins" Krystal said.

"I'm sure he will, not after all the strange things which are happening during the tournament" Zelda said. She then smirked "and I bet Link will beat him in the finals."

"Oh we just see about that" Krystal smirked.

Trunks was busy polishing his sword as Gohan watched.

Meanwhile, the intercom called out the last pairings to the stadium as the last battle in group d will begin. Fox kissed Krystal on the cheek and left. Luffy winked at Nami and left. Mario high-five Luigi as he left. Guilmon wished Agumon good luck and Goku gave Luffy and Trunks a thumbs up. Link wished Samus luck and Zelda a good luck kiss on the cheek. Marth looked to Roy, who looked worried.

"What's up, Roy?" he asked his companion "you looked worried".

Roy looked up and said "Oh nothing. I just upset about losing that all."

Marth smirked and then turned to the arena as everyone else got to the stands and took their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Today the final battle of the group will begin. May the contesters please come out!"

Samus and Yugi came out first and waved, and then it was Agumon and Yoshi, Luigi and Trunks, Zelda and Sailor Moon and finally Fox and Luffy. The crowd cheered as they came up.

"Come on Fox!" Krystal called.

"You can do it, Luffy!" Nami called.

"Give all it a clean match OK?" Chi-Chi called.

"Give it everything you got!" Goku called.

"Yeah, we want to see you in the finals" Naruto called.

"Come on Zelda, come on everyone" Link called.

"Give it all you got, Yoshi!" Pikachu called.

"Do your best Luigi and everyone!" Mario called.

"Ready?" called the announcer as the fighters got into their fighting positions "GO!"

Fox started the fight by goes into lighting speed and knocked Samus and Luigi over. Luigi got up and powered himself charged and fired himself towards Fox. Luffy got in the way and used Gum gum Balloon to bounce Luigi back into Sailor Moon. Zelda then transformed into Sheik and threw some knifes at Trunks, but Trunks turned into a super saiyan and blocked them off with his sword. Agumon then fire a Pepper Breath and hit Yoshi. Yoshi got up and stuck out her tongue and turned Agumon into an egg. Agumon burst out of it and attacked again but Yoshi ducked. Yugi then summoned Dark Magician and used it to attack Luffy. Fox pushed Luffy out the way and took the hit himself and crashed into the wall of the arena.

"FOX!" Krystal and Falco gasped.

Fox got up from the rubble. "Heh, heh. Wow. That was tough, Yugi."

Luffy got very cross. "OK, Dark Magician! You asked for it!" He then stretched his arms and then send them towards Dark Magician destroying it.

"You're good as always, Luffy" Yugi smirked.

Yoshi got into her egg and rolled around knocking Yugi, Agumon and Trunks off the ground. Trunks got up from mid-air and fired a Finishing Blaster. Yoshi got hit but she got up again. Fox got out of his rubble and ran towards Samus. Samus fired a missile but Fox used a shield on himself to protect himself.

"Wow!" Jigglypuff said "Now that what I call a shield breaker!"

"No it isn't. You mean missile stopper" Pikachu reminded her.

"Oh… yeah…"

In the dark area, Andross and Crocodile watched as the warriors continued fighting.

"Right!" Andross said "you know what to do".

"With pleasure" Crocodile said as he pressed the same controller's button.

As Yoshi ran up to attack Luffy, her feet got stuck because a sand hand appeared and grabbed her feet.

"What?" Yoshi gasped as she tried to break free but she couldn't.

"What is this?" Fox gasped.

"A hand made out of sand?" Samus said.

Luffy turned around and then said "forgive me, Pikachu!" and then knocked Yoshi out of the ring. Pikachu remained silent but we can tell he was quite upset. Link saw this and patted him.

"Hey it's OK" Link said.

"It's OK. At least she tried" Pikachu said smiling "but where did that sand hand come from?"

"I dunno."

Sheik goes up to attack Fox but Crocodile pressed the switch again and his legs got stuck again. Fox closed his eyes in pity and kicked him out of the ring again transforming her back to Zelda. Link sighed. She lost but he was glad. He didn't want to hurt her. Samus then rolled into a ball and knocked Yugi into the air. Yugi got up and then used one of his legendary God monsters, Obliex the Tormentor. Samus couldn't dodge the attack and got hit and knocked out of the ring knocked out. Agumon saw this would be a problem but he has a plan. He warp-digivolve into his mega-form, Wargreymon and then used Terra Force to destroy Obliex and then knocked Yugi out of the ring. Trunks smirked as he faced Wargreymon. He could be a interesting opponent. Luigi then turned his attention to Luffy. He send out fireballs at the pirate, but Luffy dodged them all. Sailor Moon then appeared behind Luigi and whacked him on the head with her staff. Luffy smirked and then used Gum Gum Rocket and knocked Luigi out of the arena.

"Luigi! Are you alright?" asked Mario.

"I'm OK" Luigi said "but I lost, but that fine."

As Wargreymon and Trunks clashed, Fox decide to use fire fox to take them down. That is when Crocodile pressed the button and giant hands flew past Fox and grabbed Trunks and Wargreymon by the foot. Feeling sorry for this, Fox knocked them and send them out of the window. Wargreymon de-digivolve back to Agumon. Sailor Moon is the only last opponent left. She then call the power of the moon to end this.

"Oh no she don't" Crocodile smirked as he pressed the button once more.

Sailor Moon was trapped again. Fox and Luffy just stared, very confused.

"What? Again?" Fox gasped.

"What is going on here?" asked Vegeta.

But Luffy remained silent. He knew who did this, but rather not say. Rather he just pushed Sailor Moon out of the arena.

"GAME!" The announcer called "This game winner is… FOX AND LUFFY!"

Krystal and Nami cheered while tears poured into their eyes. But Fox and Luffy remained silent. Mario, Naruto, Link, Goku, Pikachu and Guilmon did the same. This took notice by Peach, Sakura, Chi-Chi, Renamon, Krystal, Nami and Zelda and Yoshi (who just walking to backstage when they saw them.)

As the other fighters rested after that match, everyone (expect the winners of the previous matches and Fox and Luffy and their lovers who just gone off to find them) had a meeting.

"This tournament is confusing" Trunks said "first we get lighting, then ice, then fire and now sand hands."

"I know. It's far too confusing" Kirby said "I think this tournament is out of hand."

"Or maybe it's a trap" Sasuke said "I think it is for the winners like Goku, Link, Guilmon, Pikachu, Mario, Naruto and Fox and Luffy."

Young Link, Anna, Luigi, Yoh, Roy and Pichu remained silent.

"Hey you guys, what is the matter with you?" asked Zolo.

"There is something troubling you?" asked Agumon.

The silent ones know it is time to tell the truth.

"Sasuke is right" Young Link said "this tournament is a trap."

"A trap?" asked Yugi.

"Set up by who?" asked Falco.

"By…" Yoh began and then he gulped and replied "Bowser, Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Andross, Broly, Orochimaru, Impmon and Crocodile."

This shocks the whole fighters in fear and shock.

"WHAT?!" They all cried.

"Take a look on your legs." Luigi said.

They all looked at their legs to find the devices on their legs. They all gasped and took them off.

"BROLY! HOW DARE HE INTERFERE WITH MY FIGHT WITH KAKAROT!" Vegeta snarled.

"So this is all THEIR doing!" Donkey Kong snarled.

"Guys. They have a plan you know" Pichu said.

They all turned to them.

"You see, after we kicked them out, our guesses that our enemies still burn for revenge and world domination" Anna said "so after that we would enter this tournament, they sneak in and put these devices on our legs apart from their enemies. Then when the matches came, they do terrible element attacks to stop us from attacking."

"So they cheated!" Sailor Moon gasped.

"They didn't really cheat" Luigi said "my guess that they WANT Mario, Link, Fox, Pikachu, Goku, Guilmon, Naruto and Luffy enter the final round. I all know but they did have a phrase 2 containing their lovers."

"What does Peach, Zelda, Krystal, Yoshi, Chi-Chi, Renamon, Nami and Sakura have to do with them?" asked Len.

"My guess… they were gonna use them as bait to lure the others into their trap" Anna said.

Everyone was in horror. They didn't want Mario, Goku or the others falling into the villains' trap.

"Unless we tell them just before the final round, we might have a chance to stop them" Yoh said.

"We can tell them next morning" said Samus. "I bet there were enjoying their moments with their lovers as we speak."

They all agreed and went off to get a long sleep.

To be continued…

A/N: So now EVERYONE knows, expect from the winners and their lovers. I will do the romantic chapter next before we move on to the kidnapping and the final battle. So please wait and tell me what you think.
