Chapter 8: The Competitors Collide!
------------
Fight 1:
Link hook-shot Pichu and brought him close, but before he could attack he heard a "DEFEATED" and turned in the direction of G&W's defeat, causing him to lose his guard and Pichu to struggle away. Link turned and saw Pichu running away and threw his sword at it. It stuck Pichu on the side of the head, causing him to trip and fall over. Link ran at him and grabbed the falling sword, then stuck Pichu's neck with it. Link jumped off and saw him float away, then turned around and faced the other four, who were staring at him in shock. Link shrugged and headed towards Captain Falcon. Captain Falcon was being triple teamed: Mario punched him in the head, then kicked him in the knee. Pikachu had latched onto his other knee and was continuously shocking him, and Link was smacking Captain Falcon with his sword in the head. Captain Falcon was getting ticked off at every punch. He twisted around and knocked them all away. He was breathing very hard and clutched his arm with the other. Captain Falcon turned towards Mario and saluted him again, making Mario raise his eyebrow, then he turned to Link and charged at him. Link raised his sword and swung it at Captain Falcon, who flipped back, jumped onto his sword as he swung, jumped off, then kicked down at Link's head, sending him to the ground. Captain Falcon turned towards Pikachu and kicked him away, then ran away, leaving Mario stunned. Mario watched as Captain Falcon run into the distance, but saw another figure run towards him. He gasped, and he saw that it was his own brother! He heard a "DEFEATED" and saw another figure, followed by two other figures, running towards him. Luigi hid behind Mario and shuddered and Mario sighed. Luigi pointed towards Ganondorf and shuddered again.
Link got up and saw Ganondorf and glared. He raised his sword and charged at him. Ganondorf saw him as well and their swords met. Ganondorf was thrown backward, but he caught his sword and swung it around quickly, catching Roy, who had snuck out behind him. Roy crumpled to the ground, then floated into the air. Marth gasped and glared at Ganondorf, who was busy fighting Link. He raised his sword and brought it down at Ganondorf's back. Ganondorf dodged Link's stab, flipped Link's sword around and made it block Marth's sword. Then Ganondorf raised his sword up and brought it down, aiming for Link's neck. Marth blocked Ganondorf's sword, but almost hit Link in the process. Link fell to the ground, tripping Marth and sending him falling as well. Ganondorf laughed and prepared to stab them both when Luigi came hurtling out of nowhere and knocked him to the ground. Ganondorf dropped his sword and it clattered away. Luigi saw it and dove for it. He grabbed the sword and aimed it at Ganondorf. He prepared to stab Ganondorf when Link jumped to his feet and stabbed Ganondorf in the heart. The wound didn't draw blood, so Link stabbed Ganondorf again, right in the face. Ganondorf dropped his knees to the ground, and then fell down. Link removed his sword and watched closely as Ganondorf floated into the air and nodded in triumph. He held his sword out and turned to Marth, who had also gotten up. Mario, Luigi, and Pikachu backed off as the swordsmen began their battle.
Link and Marth charged at each other, their swords meeting in a shower of sparks. They removed their swords and brought them down again. As they held this position Link reached into his pocket and pulled out a bomb. Link threw the bomb at Marth, causing him to get stunned by the blast, and brought his sword down on Marth's shoulder. Marth dropped to this ground, but luckily held onto his sword. Marth flipped back onto his feet and charged at Link. Link blocked this attack and made an attack of his own. Marth blocked this attack and took a few steps back. They glared at each other and attacked again. Marth attacked vertically and Link attacked horizontally. Link's sword was sent flying out of his grip. Marth ran ahead and blocked Link from his sword. Link glared and took three steps back, then took out his bow and an arrow, kneeled down, and fired it at Marth. Marth countered quickly and threw his sword at Link's face. Link ducked down and dodged it, letting it stick into the ground and wobble there. Marth jumped after Link's sword, and Link jumped after Marth's sword. Marth got to Link's sword first, but as he touched it he felt the sword burn his hand and he had to drop it. Link got Marth's sword and turned to face Marth. Link saw Marth drop his sword and smirked. Link ran at Marth and swung down at him. Marth dove out of the way, but Link grabbed his sword and threw it at Marth. It struck Marth in the shoulder and forced him into a nearby tree. Link struck Marth alongside the neck and both his sword and Marth floated into the air and "DEFEATED" erupted across the entire arena, much louder than before. Then a female's voice called out "NINE LEFT" All 4 of them looked at each other in confusion, and then saw a ball of shadows hit a tree nearest Mario. All four of them turned in the direction of the shadow ball and saw three figures standing in the distance, fighting each other.
