Toon Link cleaved his sword downwards towards Popo Climber's head. Popo shrieked and dived out of the way, leaving Toon Link's weapon to embed itself in a patch of begonias. Popo scampered away across a bed of tulips and stopped.

The two watched each other cautiously. Toon Link made the first move, throwing his sword like a spear. Popo dropped to the ground a milisecond too late; the sword stabbed into the fluffy blue hood of his parka with such force that Popo flew backwards the whole length of the spacious garden towards the twenty-metre high brick wall that separated them from the outside world. Unfortunately for Popo, the point of the sword sank into the mortar between the bricks, trapping him. Toon Link sprinted towards Popo, desperate to finish him off quickly and get it over with, because of course, he was not a ruthless killer, only a boy who knew what he had to do to survive.

Popo was tempted to throw his mallet, but if he missed then he would be defenceless. Toon Link stopped a metre away. Then, quick as a flash, he pulled out his quiver of arrows and his bow, notched an arrow, and fired at Popo's head. Popo screamed and deflected the arrow with his hammer. And then threw it. Toon Link dropped his bow and arrows and pulled out his shield just in time. There was a resounding, reverberating boom. The force knocked Toon Link backwards to crush a patch of sunflowers.

All weapons were scattered now. Popo was still stuck to the wall by Toon Link's sword, the bow and arrows were lying in front of Popo where Toon Link had dropped them, Popo's hammer had landed halfway between the two fighters, and the shield had soared from Toon Link's hands, and over to the far wall behind Toon Link. Toon Link abandoned the shield, opting instead to go for the hammer. Popo finally prised himself free from the wall, and desperately tried to wield the heavy sword. Eventually he gave up, and he bent down to retrieve the bow and arrows instead. As he bent down, he inadvertently avoided the hammer that Toon Link had just thrown. Now Toon Link was weaponless, standing twenty metres from Popo. Popo clumsily notched an arrow. Toon Link decided to risk his life, betting on Popo's obvious ineptitude with a bow, and he ran towards Popo. Popo fired the arrow. And missed. Two metres away from Popo, Toon Link tripped. A plant had wrapped around his ankle. In fact, plants were slowly covering his body! Toon Link lurched around, desperately trying to escape the swarming plants.

Popo watched Toon Link get suffocated by the plants as revenge for crushing the sunflowers. Popo himself was almost killed for when he had crushed several tulips earlier, but Tabuu noticed just in time and sent him to the Waiting Room.

Fox peered out of the back of his boat. Link's boat was drifting across the water several metres behind him. He was using his sword as an oar, and he was gaining fast. Fox was forced to leap over the railing and escape the log flume.

"Darn, I really wanted to get my picture taken" thought Fox as he sprinted away. Link vaulted over the railing and pursued him.

At the start of the fight, they had engaged in open combat, and within two minutes, the only weapon that wasn't broken or lost was Link's sword. This created the current "Predator vs. Prey" situation.

Fox ran into a control booth, pressed the start button, and hopped out of the rear window and into the front car of a nearby rollercoaster. Just when Fox thought he was safe, Link put on a spurt of speed and dived for the last car. He climbed in just in time- the ride had started. Then Fox realised that Link should have just waited for the ride to finish and then killed him. But as he saw Link behind him, with the deadly sword glinting in his hand, he wondered whether the alternative would have been better. At first, the ride went at an extremely fast speed, and all Fox and Link could do was hold on for dear life (there was a separate switch to activate the safety bars which Fox hadn't pressed.) But then they reached a slow strait about thirty or forty metres in the air.

Link started hopping across the tops of the cars as easily as a five-year-old playing hopscotch, nearing Fox with alarming speed. Fox panicked. He climbed out of the car, and started running forwards across the wooden slats. Barely five seconds later, Link reached the front car and did the same. There was a steep descent next, and Fox couldn't keep his footing. He tumbled head over heels until the tracks evened out into another strait. Somehow he had survived with no more than a few scrapes and bruises. He had widened up the distance between himself and Link.

Fox kept running until the gradient of the track sloped up at about 50 degrees. Climbable, but too steep to run. He turned to look where Link was. He had only just reached the bottom of the hill. Then, at the same time, they both realised that the cars had arrived at the summit. In about two seconds, the cars would be roaring along the tracks towards them. Then Fox realised that Link would die first, meaning... Fox would win! He settled himself down and watched.

The cars screamed down the hill towards Link. Who jumped off the tracks. Fox was confused. He soon figured it out. Link would still be in the air when Fox was hit! But if he did the same... Fox decided. He went to jump off too, but decided to be safe by jumping towards a brightly coloured hook-a-duck stall with a striped canopy. As Fox did all this, Link implemented his real plan. He twisted around in mid-air and grabbed a vertical support beam. He slid down it at only a slightly reduced speed with just his hands, spinning around and around it like a fireman who also dabbled in being a ninja.

Fox hit the canopy. Then, two seconds later, it ripped and he dropped into the hook-a-duck stall. When he exited, Link was charging towards him.
