Hello readers. I saw the ideas sent in to me for the brawl, and I thank you all for the ideas. Here is Chapter 9: Unfair Circumstances.

Jigglypuff's POV

After Meta Knight ran off to get ready for the brawl, I was pulled aside by Rosealia.

"How is he?"

"Well, I think he should be fine. Most people don't have problems after a nightmare."

"It depends on the type."

"Can't you only get 'eaten'?" I asked curiously

"Well, there are dreams stirred by memories, and if it is a nightmare, it would be a nasty one." Rosealia pondered

"Do you think that it could affect his performance?"

"If the stage itself doesn't…" Rosealia mused

We started walking down the hallway, as we kept talking.

"Pardon me for asking, but what is so…important about Abanei?"

"It is the location of our birth-Meta Knight and mine that is."

"Okay. Hey Rosealia?" I asked, running a bit closer.

"Yes?"

"What did you mean by 'Meta J'?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" She smiled

"Do you mean Meta…Junior?" I asked strangely, getting what she meant.

She winked at me "You didn't hear it from me."

Wow. That would be embarrassing. Poor Meta Knight. Hee-hee.

"So, Rosealia, I heard a bit about you."

"You did? Am I that popular?" She teased.

"Well…are you the real Rosealia? Princess Rosealia? The daughter of Old Mad Torundo and, Queen Catalina, the queen of six feet under?"

Rosealia stopped for a bit and looked at me angrily, yet sadly at the same time.

"I warned you when you are doing something foolish, and you…are…doing…so…right…NOW." She said sternly.

We didn't speak until we got to the stadium and got our seats. At the brawl, there weren't many rules, however, it was not an option if you went to watch the brawl or not. Besides, it was nice knowing an opponent's moves. Especially if they were two new ones like Meta Knight and Lucas. Not to mention that there was a new stage and one of my new friends was fighting. I looked over to see Rosealia twiddling her fingers.

"I hope he can overcome the disadvantage." She spoke softly.

I looked at her knowingly "We are allowed to cheer…" I suggested quietly.

"That might help." She mused.

Then Master Hand floated on the stage.

"Greetings Smashers! It is the first coin brawl of the season so I want all of you to be respectful. Except the people who are fighting in the match. We have two new brawlers in this fight-Lucas from Earthbound and Meta Knight from Kirby!"

Everyone cheered. Not everyone wanted to, but we had to.

Then each fighter came out. I wished I had an egg on me, because if I had given a small toss, the egg would hit dead on in Ganondork's face. Then the horn sounded as Master Hand floated off stage. The timer started for 1 minute as Ganondork grabbed Lucas and punched coins out of his head. Meta Knight then went up to Ganondork and slashed him in the back, thus coins landed on the confused Meta Knight. Then Ganondork let go of Lucas and turned on Meta Knight. Meta Knight backed up warily, and shielded as Ganondork powered up a punch. But the shield gave out and disabled Meta Knight. Then Ganondork landed the punch square in the head. Lucas, to return the favour did PK fire on Ganondork's behind. Ganondork looked over to see fire on his behind. You could hear most of the audience laughing. Meta Knight, taking advantage of the distraction, turned into a tornado and ran Lucas and Ganondork over at the same time. Then the stage alteration came up and I saw ships swarm the arena and mutated creatures and primids littered the stage. One of the creatures, which resembled a bear, snuck up on Meta Knight and growled. It grabbed him by the teeth and chomped on his wing, sending him flying for the first KO. I looked at the scoreboard. Meta Knight had the grand total of six coins and Lucas and Ganondork had 38 each. There was also ten seconds left. When Meta Knight came back, he stopped for a second, and then attacked the creature, with full vengeance intended. I had a sudden urge to call him stupid and tell him to focus on the brawl. It saw him coming and moved out of the way with ease. He seemed to forget the brawl and went after this creature like it personally insulted him. Then the countdown started at five, four, and three…and then

Ganondork hit Lucas square on in the back, causing Lucas to clutch his back and while he did, Ganondork smiled and grabbed the coins and (unfortunately) won the brawl.
"The winner is Ganondork!" the speaker sounded out. It took us a bit to realize the small error. Then we all laughed, and laughed, and laughed. He looked angrily at all of us. Then he stormed off stage with the others in tow. I walked over to Meta Knight who had received third place.

"What happened?" Rosealia, who was already there asked him.

"I need to rest…" And then he walked away leaving us stunned.

Rosealia ran up and grabbed him.

"Meta Knight, if something is bothering you, tell me, I need to know." Rosealia spoke softly.

"I don't want to talk about it." Meta Knight snapped angrily

"Did it have to do with the stage? I was bothered by Knightmare's ships appearing on the stage. I know that you diverted your attention on the brawl to the creature. Don't lie, I saw you." Rosealia encouraged him to answer.

"So did the rest of the smashers." I groaned.

"You want to know what happened. Fine, I screwed up, like I always have. Don't deny it. You saw what happened 1 200 years ago!" Meta Knight seethed.

"Meta Knight, that wasn't your fault." Rosealia spoke gently

"Wasn't my fault? WASN'T MY FAULT? Look Rosealia, people died because of me. People I loved, people you loved! And guess what? This was not the last time. I screw up. It's what I do." Meta Knight hollered at Rosealia, obviously upset.

Rosealia put her hand on his shoulder. "That was Knightmare's fault. Not your own."

"You forget what happened to your mother." Meta Knight's voice showed danger, but he didn't holler this time. Before any of us could stop him, he warped off.

"What happened 1 200 years ago?" I asked curiously.

"Why do you need to know?" Rosealia snapped, and then her face softened apologetically.

"I apologize, but this is a very inappropriate time to discuss such." Rosealia explained

"I have to go, you know, brawl and all." I told her.

I had a feeling today's events would be quite interesting indeed. Not that today wasn't interesting enough, however.

People died? What happened there? What did Rosealia's mother have to do with this? Tell me what you thought of Chapter 9! See you next time!
