Chapter 3: Fight 3
-------------
Meanwhile the third match was just getting started, there were 4 competitors starting off at once this time. One was a thinner, taller version of Mario with green clothes instead of red, named Luigi. Two small cartoony figures in blue and pink parkas, called Nana and Popo, the Ice Climbers. A young boy in yellow clothes and a red hat carrying a baseball bat, named Ness. And a whitish puffball with big blue eyes and a swirly piece of hair on her head, named Jigglypuff. After another stare down they went into battle. They charged at each other, Luigi reached the center first and charged at Ness. They jumped at each other and met in mid air. Ness started swinging hit baseball bat wildly, trying to reach Luigi's head. Luigi swiftly dodged each hit and tackles Ness to the ground, then flipped off him and threw a fireball at him, which hit and sent him on fire. Ness calmly used his psychic powers to remove the flames and glared angrily at him and raised his bat. He ran at Luigi, bat rose, and swung down, but before he could make contact, Jigglypuff flew into him and they both were sent spiraling away. Luigi turned to see Nana and Popo high fiving each other, hammers raised. Luigi turned on them instead and charged. He pulled out a hammer and all three of them swung their hammers at each other. Luigi made a quick movement dodged both hammers and hitting Nana away at the same time. Popo and Luigi made several similar movements as they charged at each other. Nana got back up and helped Popo in battle, they both overpowered Luigi and hit him in the gut, sending him into the air and onto the ground, hard, holding his stomach in pain. He had dropped his hammer, and now Popo had picked it up and hit both hammers together. They ran at him and swung all three hammers down, but Luigi slid sideways, got up, jumped onto Popo and Nana's shoulders, grabbed the hammer from Popo as he went, and jumped down to the ground, hitting Popo across the back as he fell. Then he hit Nana with the same movement and she landed on top of Popo. Luigi back flipped twice and gained distance from the Ice Climbers and waited for them to get up.
Jigglypuff and Ness got up and saw that their rivals had already started battling, so they turned to each other. Ness swung his baseball bat and made contact with her head. She flew a far distance but her balloon-figure allowed her to float safely to the ground. She started rolling in place, aiming straight for Ness, who had no idea what she was doing, and released, sending her flying at an amazing speed towards Ness. He got hit with an amazing amount of power and flew backwards several feet, shocked at how such a light puffball could hurt so much, and landed on his back. He got up to see Jigglypuff coming at him again and only rolled out of the way just in time. He got up, satisfied, and took three steps before he was hit in the back with agonizing pain and fell back down. He flipped over and saw Jigglypuff rolling to a stop, then charging back up. He got up as fast as he could and raised his baseball bat. She fired herself and Ness waited until the perfect moment to swing his back, it hit Jigglypuff straight in the head and sent her flying, but with the force of the impact Ness was sent back a few feet as well, but he regained balance and waited for Jigglypuff to charge up again. Jigglypuff landed on her feet but instead of rolling she began to sing. Her singing was so soothing that Ness fell asleep, allowing Jigglypuff enough time to charge up to full power and fire herself at Ness. She hit Ness in the stomach and sent him flying. He woke up with pain from the impact and landed on his back again. He tried to get up but started hearing the song again. This time he was ready and created a shield with his mind, blocking the song, but this time he laid on the ground with his bat at the ready. When Jigglypuff got close he got up and swung the bat as fast as he could. They made contact and Jigglypuff got sent flying. This time Ness ran straight for her and created a green lightning bolt with his mind, he sent it at her and it struck her, sending her back up in the air. Ness stood right under her and waited for her to fall back down before he swung the bat and sent her flying again. Jigglypuff floated a couple of times then started rolling up, aiming straight for Ness right under her. He saw what she was doing, but not soon enough because she fired and sent Ness flying again.
Luigi and Ice Climbers were glaring at each other again, waiting for one another to make a move, and charged. Luigi ducked under their swing and jumped up, fist raised, hitting them both and sending coins flying everywhere. He waited until they landed until he used his "Luigi Tornado" He spun around extremely fast, arms raised, hitting them both several times. They flew into the air again and he spun around again, this time he raised his hammer and sent them both flying into the air a far distance as he made contact. Luigi charged after Nana and hit her vertically into the air, then down vertically into the ground. He repeatedly hit her, but didn't see Popo sneak up behind him and smack him in the head. Luigi fell down and held his head as Popo picked Nana up and they both started hitting Luigi. Luigi took each one of these hits, but after the third hit he spun around and tripped both of them, then he got back up and kicked them both into the air. He ran back a few feet and kneed down, catching his breath and waiting for them to get back up.
Ness landed back onto the ground and raised his baseball bat again, waiting for Jigglypuff to charge, but instead of charging she just walked up to him. He wondered what was going on and lowered his guard, but when she touched him she closed her eyes and a searing, burning pain went through his body and sent him flying about 50 feet before he landed. She woke up a second later and looked around, then saw him on the ground and charged up again. She fired herself at him again and sent him flying. He woke up with the impact and got back up. He swayed a little bit, but was otherwise alright. He closed his eyes and started humming. Jigglypuff didn't even notice and started charging up again. She got within 5 feet of him before he opened his eyes and yelled "PK FIRE!" and sent flames at her. She spun around, on fire, and missed Ness by inches. She fell down, covered in flames, and started floating into the air. A male's voice yelled "DEFEATED" and she disappeared in a blinding light. Ness, excited over his victory, lied down and rested for the next battle.
