Fire exploded around Pit, knocking him to the ground. He should have been at a huge advantage; being as they were outdoors in a beautiful picturesque park; much akin to those in movies where golden retrievers and their respective owners frolic about and throw and catch frisbees, having a fantastic time. Pit was not having a good time. Zelda seemed to have more powers than Superman. Whenever he went up for a melee attack with his dual blades, she instantly teleported to another part of the park. Then she would attack from afar by conjuring exploding fireballs to hit him with. When Pit tried tried this trick with Palutena's bow, the princess summoned a magical shield to protect her. His own shield was of no use, as the fireballs arced right over it. She knew all his abilities off by heart; something unorthodox was required. He loosed an arrow before quickly hefting his shield with pinpoint accuracy. Zelda blocked the arrow instantly before getting hit by the shield. The force was so great that she was lifted off her feet; she crashed down about five metres away. Pit took to the skies and by the time Zelda got up, there was no sign of him. She got to her feet steadily, looking around edgily. Pit performed his second smart attack; an arrow thudded into the ground next to Zelda. She panicked and ran; the second arrow stabbed into the hem of her dress, pinning it to the ground. She promptly fell flat on her face. Pit couldn't bear to be cruel. He wanted this over as quickly as possible- he split his bow into blades, threw them and closed his eyes. All that could be heard were two thuds. Pit kept his eyes closed and sighed.

"Watch-a the moustache!"

The tip of the famous plumber's moustache was singed as he narrowly dodged a burst of lightning from the diminutive yellow mouse Pokemon. Mario's evasive manouevre put him in a dangerous situation as he wobbled on the edge of the girder. Perhaps some information regarding location is needed. Pikachu and his Italian adversary had appeared right atop a towering construction site. Which Mario had just fallen off of.

Marth stared at the screen in the Waiting Room with awe. Ike was next to him and Luigi and Olimar were sitting silently in seperate parts of the stadium. Marth exclaimed "holy crap!" Look how tall that construction site is! Even Chuck Norris couldn't survive a fall from there!"

"Who's Chuck Norris?" asked Ike.

"No idea but he sounds like some kind of unstoppable ultra-powerful being."

King Dedede lumbered around the warehouse, searching for his opponent. He wasn't unduly worried, not many people could defeat someone as powerful as him. That giant spiky shelled turtle might give him a run for his money though. He was relieved when he discovered his enemy. The little boy had run up behind him and started clubbing him in the back. He recognised him as Ness. He remembered him as one of those who had helped him save those who had been trophified. It broke his heart to have to kill such a small and innocent boy. He raised his mallet sadly and swung it down. Ness danced nimbly out of the way.

"Stay still now, it'll all be over soon" said Dedede, attempting a soothing, gentle voice. In Dedede's opinion it was a reasonable enough request but instead of obliging, Ness blasted a small jet of flame right into his belly. It dissipated on impact and dealt minimal damage. Dedede was knocked backwards slightly. Then Ness whacked him in the stomach. The two slight forces made Dedede overbalance and he fell flat on his back. Before Ness could attack him while he was down, he kicked the small boy as hard as he could. Ness was sent skidding along the floor at high speed. To dodge containers and other clutter, he shot a burst of PK fire so that the force propelled him out of the way. This next proceeding must be described in high detail in order to make sense of it. Ness was skidding towards a forklift from the side. The lift part was raised into the air. Ness was slowing down now, so he got to his feet so that he was skidding along while crouching to keep his balance. He leapt into the air so high and far he was almost like a bird. He soared into the air, kicked off from the top of the forklift and somehow propelled himself right up onto a tall outer railing. Not even the most skilled parkour masters could have performed a stunt like that. On his landing he almost fell off the edge but steadied himself just in time. Such a fall would be death on impact. Ness stood there waiting as Dedede climbed the nearest set of steel steps and ascended to the balcony that ringed around the vast storage warehouse.

"PK Pulse!" cried Ness.

A bright orb of pure pulsating power propelled itself perfectly towards Dedede. At the last second he pulled a Waddle Dee from the colossal mysterious realm known otherwise as the interior of his robe, and tossed it into the orb. The small bouncy bipedal dropped to the ground and never moved again. And the resulting battle for the ages was never matched in intensity for many years. Except for every other battle. Mostly they were far away from each other; Ness using PK Thunder, Fire and Pulse to give him the edge. He also nimbly dodged the Gordos flung through the air at high speed. King Dedede avoided these PSI attacks by tossing Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos into them because he would be otherwise unable to dodge them in time. He was down to his last projectile. He got a lucky hit in with the 'Doo and knocked Ness over. Just as Ness got up, Dedede swung his mallet with all his power, giving a direct hit. Ness should have died, but as it was, he blocked it with his baseball bat and it didn't break on impact. But the power made Ness soar across the length of the warehouse, slam into the wall and land groaning on the railing opposite. And there he lay for several minutes as King Dedede dashed over to him as fast as his short, stubby legs could carry him. Needless to say, it took a while. Ness clambered unsteadily to his feet. To be faced with a huge blast of energy roaring towards him.
