Chapter 3
Marth and Zelda both peacefully relaxed in the lounge. They continued telling each other about their past and other various details. After a while, they both were quiet and barely awake. Marth had his sapphire blue hair in his half-opened eyes while Zelda had her dark brunette hair in hers. Marth was just on the verge of sleeping when the intercom blared.
"The scheduled brawl will begin in 2 minutes! Marth & Zelda, please report to the stadium at once."
Marth, startled by the sound, shot up off the couch. Zelda, who was resting on Marth's shoulder subconsciously, was thrown off balance. Marth, without a moment of hesitation, caught Zelda before she can fall to the floor. He stared into her dark cerulean eyes as she stared into his soft sapphire ones. The intercom rang "Marth & Zelda, you have 1 minute to get to the stadium deck." At that, they both returned to their feet slowly and silently.
"We better get going; we wouldn't want to feel the wrath of Master Hand."
Zelda silently nodded as they both sprinted through the halls, almost toppling a wandering Kirby. They both got to the deck just in time, and the crowd went wild. Both characters were high ranks in the mansion, so the fight was going to have an unexpected ending. Marth stepped onto the platform and walked into the portal to Final Destination with Zelda right behind him.
3...2...1... Go!
Marth bowed before Zelda without drawing his blade yet. Zelda stood in question wondering why Marth wasn't attacking.
"Marth! Show me what you got, I want to see some of the techniques you haven't shown me in training. Stop having morals against fighting me!" Zelda shouted.
With that, Marth drew his Falchion and pointed it to the sky. He started having a blue aura shining around him. Zelda felt that he was getting stronger and decided to disrupt him. She dashed towards him and jumped. Marth saw it coming but didn't have enough time to retaliate. Zelda jumped into the air and struck him with her electrifying heel. He flew back a couple feet before regaining his balance. He held tight to his falchion and held his position. Zelda noticed he wasn't going to go anywhere so she used Din's fire to force him to make a move. Every fireball she threw at him, he would just counter and continue standing still. She made her move and went into close combat, rolling behind Marth. The princess struck him with a magic force flowing from her hands, but he didn't move an inch. He suddenly made one slash towards Zelda and followed it up by several lightning quick slashes not allowing her out of his blade's range. He grew weary from using this new ability since it drained most of his energy. He finished off the combo by using a strong horizontal swing. Zelda went flying from the sheer power of the strikes and reached out for the ledge of Final Destination. She barely grabbed the ledge and hung on for her dear stock. She gathered up the strength and pulled herself up the stage and locked her eyes on the weakened swordsman. She went to end the fight and jumped up in the air readying herself for an aerial strike. Zelda focused her magic into the heel of her shoe and angled herself up against Marth. Just as her heel was going to make contact with Marth, a Smash Ball appeared and took the blow. The Smash Ball was sent flying from the power of the kick as Marth used a burst of energy to chase after it. Marth jumped above the Smash ball and went to strike it. Zelda jumped up from underneath it and unleashed a fiery explosion from her finger tips. The blade and the fire met the Smash Ball at the same time and they both gained an aura of power. Marth, completely rejuvenated, distanced himself from Zelda to make it easier to avoid her Light Arrow. Marth started to focus again and thrusted his sword in the sky. Zelda saw an opening in Marth's defenses and fired her Light Arrow right towards his body. A light shined of the tip of his blade as he stepped forward with amazing speed. The princess readied her bow and fired the arrow directly at the incoming prince. Marth rushed right at the arrow and split it directly in half with his legendary Falchion. The hylian didn't even have time to change her reaction before she was sent flying off the stage.
"Game!!" The announcer declared.
The crowd cheered and yelled at the stunning ending. Not only did two smashers break the smash orb simultaneously, but Marth actually split a Light Arrow in half. The two brawlers returned to the stadium deck away from all the noise and commotion. Marth gave an apologetic smile at his defeated opponent.
"Excellent fight, Zel. I thought I was finished at the end."
Zelda looked torwards him wondering why he didn't seem as formal as when she first met him. It made her feel closer to him, even if it was only the first day they met.
"Yeah.. I can't believe you actually split my strongest attack in half.." Zelda mumbled with disapointment in her voice.
"I couldn't believe it either, I expected to be blown away by it." Marth stated attempting to cheer her up.
Zelda weakly smiled torwards Marth as they walked down the long hallway. This hallway seperates the stadium, battle grounds, and the training areas. Marth tried to break the eerie silence.
"What are your plans for the rest of the evening?" He blurted out.
Zelda blushed at the first thoughts that came to her mind. "Nothing... I'm free the rest of the night."
"Perfect." Marth exclaimed with a grin.
"What did you have planned...?" Zelda questioned with a look of curiosity in her eyes.
