Chapter 11
It's that time of the year again, the Fire Emblem Arena Championship!
At the center of the World of Fire Emblem was the arena in which the Fire Emblem Arena Champion would take place. All the people who wished to enter this fighting tournament had gathered at that place to sign up. This includes a few selected Smashers as well as a few selected 3-A students.
"Wow! This place sure is crowded!" Asuna commented. "Somehow it reminds me of the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament we have during our Mahora Festival."
"It sure does," Setsuna commented. "By the way, I'm participating, are you?"
"Nah, don't feel like it. I'm not really that interested in beating people up, even if I do get violent all the time. Heheh…"
"Negi sensei is joining too."
"That's his problem. I'll just cheer for him. Hey look, there he is!"
Asuna and Setsuna went up to Negi who was signing up at a table. "Okay, now please go to the waiting room and wait for any announcements," the registrar said to him.
"Hey Negi!" Asuna called out to him.
"Asuna! Are you joining too?" he asked her.
"Not this time. You sure you're participating in this one?"
"Sure, I'm confident of my skills!"
"Well, good luck then. Hope you can win."
"Yeah I'm not sure if I can really win. There may possibly be very powerful opponents too, but I'll try my best!"
-
Soon afterwards, Negi went over to the waiting room where there were several other people who had participated in this tournament. Many of them looked very tough and buff. It's all those stereotypical tough-looking guys with huge muscles and had scars all over the body, but there were also tamer ones like a kung-fu master, a knight, a gunslinger, and even a buff guy with a panda mask. Everyone turned to give Negi a look as he's the odd-one-out here. Some of them even chuckled thinking how a kid like him could beat them.
"Wow! There sure are lots of people here!" Negi commented. "And they look… strong…"
"Negi sensei!" shouted some voice. He turned around to see some of his students coming in.
"Ku Fei, Mana, and Kaede!" he said. "You girls are joining too?"
"I do-aru!" Ku Fei said. "I'm looking forward to this a lot! Time to show off my Chinese kung-fu skills again-aru!"
"We might be fighting each other eventually, you know? I hope there are no hard feelings…"
"A fight is a fight, Neg sensei," Mana said to him. "Even if we are to fight each other, I hope that you don't hold back just because you are our teacher."
"I know you girls are strong, so I'm not holding back too. Hope we can have a fun experience in this!"
"Hey, look who's here!" Kotaro said as he entered the scene with Setsuna, "Nice to see that there are familiar people participating in this! Negi, I'm looking forward to have a duel with you. You better stay in the winning ranks until we face each other!"
"You're always saying that. Try your best then! Hope we can face each other eventually!" Negi said.
"You bet that I'm going to be the one to whop your butt! Just you wait!"
"Oh really? I think you can seriously beat up a pupil of mine so easily?" said the voice of Evangeline as she stepped in.
"Eva! You're joining too?" Negi asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with that?" Eva asked. "Just because I'm not able to use my magic doesn't mean I'm a weakling. Even without my magic, my physical strength is more than enough to help me win the fight. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll the winner of this tournament!"
"Talk big! Don't be so full of yourself until you can actually win!" Kotaro said to her.
"Look down on me, will you, brat?!"
"All right, all right…" Negi said, trying to stop them from getting into a fight. "Let's save this until the fight begins. We don't want to use up energy for this…"
"Hey look who's participating!" said the voice of Captain Falcon. They turned to the door to see the captain coming in with some of the Smashers. Asides from CF himself, he was accompanied by Marth, Lucario, Dedede, Wario, Mario, and Kirby. "Surprised to see you kids actually participating in this!"
"You sure you lot are doing this?" Marth asked. "It can be dangerous."
"I'm not afraid of danger-aru!" Ku Fei claimed. "I'm strong!"
"Dyeheh! I can't believe how strong you kids can be!" Dedede laughed.
"And don't be too proud of yourself too, fatty," Eva said rudely to him.
"What was that you called me? I want you to proclaim me as king!"
"Very well, fat king."
"How dare you?!"
Kirby patted him on the side and said, "All right, all right. She's still young; there's no need getting angry over this."
"You'll see who's younger around here soon," Eva grumbled.
"We might be fighting each other too," CF said to Negi.
"I know, but I know that you people are very strong," Negi said. "I'll be fighting with all I've got, so I hope that you won't go too easy on me when the time comes."
"If that's what you want, kid, I'll show you my power. Hope you can survive afterward, heheh!"
-
Outside, the audience was all seated at the seats that encircle the arena. The 3-A girls who weren't participating were all sitting together in the same area. "Wow! This place has lots of people! Looks like this is something they look forward to all the time!" Haruna commented.
"I wonder if Negi sensei will be all right…" Nodoka wondered.
"You don't have to worry about her, Nodoka," said Yue, who was drinking Mushroom Cola. "Sensei may be a kid, but we've all seen how strong he is. He will be all right."
"I hope so…"
"By the way, did you have a fun time with Negi sensei today?" Haruna asked Nodoka.
"Yeah, I have fun…"
Then the Smashers who weren't participating came into the scene and then took the empty spots that were next to the girls. "This looks like a good spot!" G&W said. "You don't mind if we sit here, do you?"
"Go on and sit!" Kazumi told them.
"All right!"
Luigi took his seat and said, "Hope Mario can try his best." He turned to Meta-Knight who was next to him and asked, "Aren't you joining?"
"His majesty wanted to do the fighting himself, so he told me to take a break," MK said. He glanced around and noticed something. "Look, that thing over there looks well designed."
Luigi turned to look at where he was pointing to and saw a castle-like structure standing in front of a wall. "Yeah, it does. Must be a model of a well known castle or something?"
A few minutes went by and then a person eventually showed up at the arena. "Hello everyone! Welcome to the Fire Emblem Arena Championship!" the announcer said. "I, Talko, will be the announcer for this fighting tournament! This is an event that takes place once every year in this theme park! Once again, that time of the year has come for the tournament to begin! What sort of strong people will we see today and who will be the winner for this year? First, I would like to present to you our special guest for today. He is none other than our beloved king of the country, Roy!"
"Roy is here?" Pikachu said curiously.
Claps and cheered filled the air as Roy appeared on top of a tower built in the front part of the fighting arena. He showed up with his queen Lilina and they waved and smiled to everyone before taking their seat.
"Now I shall say out the rules of this fight!" Talko continued. "First things first, usage of sharp blades and dangerous projectiles are not allowed in this fight. For people who are sword users, they are to replace their swords with wooden swords as those are harmless. You can only use projectiles under the circumstance that they are not fatal, such as guns.
"Now I would like to say that there are lots of participants in this fight, so the first thing that we will have to do is to have all a free-for-all fight! There will be eight sets of battles were several fighters are chosen to go on stage and battle other each all at once. Everyone will beat the lights out of each other until there are only two fighters left on the stage. Those who get kicked out of the stage will be disqualified.
"Once all eight fights are complete, the two winners from each of them will move on to the final portion of the contest, which is a one-on-one battle! There will be a chart to determine who you will fight who and who you may possibly fight depending on who won."
"Typical for a fighting tournament, eh?" Red said.
"Before we start, we would like to see if the king has anything to say on this matter," Talko said.
He pointed to Roy, who stood up and said out loud, "Just began the tournament already!"
"That was… hasty…" Luigi commented.
"If the king says so, let us begin the Fire Emblem Arena Championship!" Talko said, and everyone cheered loudly. "First we shall begin the first battle! May all those who see their names on the big screen please come on stage!"
Everyone turned to look at the big screen that was placed on the wall way across the opposite side of where the tower Roy was on is. It was also above the castle-like structure. A list of names showed up on the screen. "Hey! Negi sensei's name is on it!" Makie pointed out.
"Kotaro's name is on there too!" Natsuma added.
Then the door leading to the waiting room opened and a group of fighters came out. Negi and Kotaro were among them. "We're starting at last!" Negi said. "I'm starting to get nervous!"
"These people will be a cake for me!" Kotaro claimed.
The fighters all stepped onto the arena and they looked at each other to see who their opponents would be. When the tough guys saw Negi and Kotaro, they laughed at them saying that they should be going home and playing with toys instead. Negi just laughed at their taunts but Kotaro showed an offended expression on his face.
"I can see him! He's there!" Makie shouted.
Suddenly, the cheerleader girls stood up with cheerleader outfits on and pom-poms in their hands. "Negi sensei! Negi sensei! You can do it!" they cheered happily while doing their cheerleader dance.
"Are you ready?" Negi whispered to Kotaro quietly.
"More than ready! I'm gonna show these guys that we're not little kids!" Kotaro said, punching his palm.
"All right! I can already sense the killing atmosphere in the air! These people are truly a fierce bunch!" Talko said. "May the best men win! Begin the fight!" And he fired his gun into the air.
The moment the gun went off, the people on the stage began moving and beating the lights out of each other. A big, muscular guy reached his massive hand to Negi and said, "Get the little kids out of here first before they get hurt!"
Negi lifted both arms and did a palm thrust at him. Even though his hands didn't come in contact with the big guy, he was still sent flying across the air and out of the stage, much to everyone's surprise. "What was that!? A little kid sent a big guy flying?!" Talko said in shock. "And look what do we have here?!"
"Haha!" Kotaro zipped around the place at high speed punching down anyone who got in his way. He was moving so fast that nobody could catch him and his strength was also strong enough to knock out even the fattest guy. Negi was doing his best to beat up his opponents using martial art techniques.
Within a few minute, there was nobody left on the stage except for the two kids. The audience was amazed that there were the ones who won this first fight.
"Amazing! Two little kids beat up everyone by themselves!" Talko exclaimed. "Can they be geniuses who are born every once in a hundred years? This is something truly incredible!"
"YAY!!! NEGI SENSEI WON!!!" the cheerleader girls cried happily.
"You're the best, sensei!" Ayaka shouted to him.
"Kotaro won too!" Natsuma said.
"He sure is strong, isn't he? Heheh!" Chizuru said.
"Whoa… Those two sure are something…" Luigi commented with disbelief.
"I'm not all that surprised after seeing strong kids like Ness and Young Link," Yoshi said while stuffing popcorn into his mouth.
"Phew… Negi sensei won…" Nodoka said with a sigh of relief.
"I told you already that you don't need to worry about him," Yue said to her.
"Now we shall go to the second fight!" Talko said. Names were shown on the screen again and this time Mario and Wario were among the list. The door opened and the selected fighters all poured out onto the stage.
"Mario is there! Root for him!" Yoshi said.
"Mario! You can win!" Luigi shouted loudly.
"We're rooting for you!" Pichu said.
"You can win!" Jigglypuff said as loud as she could.
Mario looked at the opponents around him and said, "Mamamia! Look-a at all theez people! They look-a tough!"
"Oh don't worry; I'm not planning to make you lose so early!" Wario said to him. "I'm looking forward to fight you! Listen up, first thing I want you to do when the fight begins is to bend down as low as you can!"
"Why?"
"Just do it!"
"All right! Let us begin!" Talko said as he fired the gun.
Mario immediately ducked down as Wario told him and then Wario took a deep breath and gathered his energy into his butt and suddenly…
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!
A massive burst of brown gas burst out in every direction and everyone on the stage was sent flying out, and the horrible spell made them all passed out. "WHAT THE HECK?!?!" Talko gasped.
The smell reached the audiences and they all closed their noses to avoid smelling the fart. "Ugh… Typical of Wario, isn't it…?" Roy grumbled.
"Gaaaah!!! I knew he would pull this off!" G&W cried.
"Yoshi is turning blue!" Pikachu cried, pointing to Yoshi who seemed to have hard time breathing.
"What is that…?" Kazumi asked in disgust.
"One of Wario's specialties is his monstrous farts…" G&W explained. "He has the uncanny ability to fart as he pleases and can even control its power…"
"I can't believe something like this exists…" Chisame said.
The gas cleared and Wario and Mario were the only ones left on the stage, but Mario looked like he had passed out. "Hahaha! Now you know the power of gas!" he laughed.
Mario got up and shook his head and said, "Ptooey! That-a was horrible! Why'd you have to do that?!"
"To conserve energy for the upcoming fights!" Wario said. "Now I look forward to fight you one-on-one. But I don't really mind if you lose though, just so I can laugh my ass off at how weak you are!"
The rest of the fights went on smoothly.
In the third round, Dedede and a random participant smashed their way through everyone who got in their way until they both became the winners.
The fourth round had Eva and Setsuna winning. Despite her appearance, Eva displayed incredible strength and easily knocked out everyone on the stage. Even when using a wooden sword, Setsuna's swordsmanship skill was just as good.
In the fifth round, Kirby breezed through the fight using a fighter style that he called Fighter Kirby. In the end, he and a random participant were the winners.
In the sixth round, Ku Fei and Mana devastated all their opponents with ease using martial arts.
The seventh round came around and Lucario used the power of aura as well as fighting type moves to strike down his opponents. In the end, he and another random participant won the fight.
Finally, it was the eighth and final set of the fights and familiar people in this final fight includes Captain Falcon, Marth and Kaede.
Gripping his wooden sword tightly in his hand, Marth dashed across a group of fighters and smacked all into the air and out of the stage. CF delivered a rapid barrage of punches and punched everyone out of the place. These two were totally untouchable. "Ha! That was easy!" CF said.
"Sure, but there are two more people asides from us," Marth said, eying in the direction of Kaede as he fought another opponent.
"This guy is good…" Kaede thought. She dashed at the guy who was dressed in casual clothing but also wore a red helmet that concealed his eyes with its black visor. Almost without moving his legs, the guy slid out of the way and Kaede missed her hit. The guy lifted his leg and did a roundhouse kick which she managed to block and then hop back.
The guy then slid across the floor suddenly and did an elbow thrust. The speed was too fast that she barely had time to dodge it and was sent sliding across the place by the impact. "Ugh!"
"What?! Kaede is getting beaten up by that helmet guy!" Fumika said.
"You can do it, Kaede!" Fuuka yelled out. "Show that you're stronger!"
Kaede got up and looked at the man and said, "This one is no pushover… He's definitely got skills."
The guy simply remained in one place and said in an emotionless tone, "Low tier, aren't you?"
When he heard this, Marth said to CF, "Falcon… Are you thinking the same thing as I do?"
CF nodded as a respond. "Yes… The sliding motion earlier and what he said just now… Without a doubt, a Smash Pro…"
"Looks like a strong one at that too… Hard to tell if he is a Spot or just a strong one though…"
Kaede got into fighting stance to take on the pro for the second time. Suddenly, she disappeared and reappeared next to the pro in a blink of an eye and threw a punch. The pro slid away really fast and her missed, and this gave the pro an opportunity to slid into her and deliver another elbow smash. Kaede was struck in the stomach hard and she shot across the air and flew off the stage. "Gah!"
The students of 3-A were all shocked to see that one of their classmates had lost. "Kaede lost?!" Ku Fei gasped.
"Impossible… And she's a strong fighter in our class too!" Negi said in disbelief. "I can't believe that she lost!"
"Hmph! Low tiered! Not even worth fighting," the pro said. "Now for the…" Before he had the chance to finish talking or even turn around, CF and Marth came crashing into him with their fist and wooden sword respectively.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!
"UUUUUUUUWAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!" The pro soared through the air and then crashed back down just outside of the stage face first.
"Ha! Sucker punches work all the time!" CF said.
"Though I had preferred a fair fight if you ask me," Marth said. "I wanted to at least see his full capabilities."
"And the winner is Captain Falcon and Marth!" Talko said out loud, and then the crowds cheered and clapped.
"Knew they would win," Yoshi said with a mouthful of popcorn.
The pro got back up again and growled at them angrily, "How dare you use such an unfair and cheating method of taking me out?! This does not mean you are stronger than me! If it were not for the rules of being knocked out means instant loss, I would've gotten back up and fight you again! Mark my words; I will get revenge on you again someday! You shall now why I am a high tiered fighter among the Smash Pros! I, Brawtaunt, will be back!" He got up and angrily stormed away.
"He's pretty mad," Marth said. "You think he'll be back for sure?"
"Whatever," CF said with a shrug. "We'll just beat him up if he comes back again."
Talko walked up the stage and said, "All eight sets of fights have been cleared! Now it's time for a fifteen minute break and then we shall begin the second half of the fight!"
-
Soon, the fighters all returned to the fighting room and the ones that were advancing to the second half of the fight started preparing themselves.
"I'm sorry that I let you all down-degozaru…" Kaede said to her classmates and teacher. "I let my guard down thinking that he would be an easy opponent…"
"Don't worry," Negi said to her. "I'm not blaming you. It's good that you're unhurt for the most part. You don't have to force yourself to win."
"You can rely on us to win instead-aru!" Ku Fei said to her.
As they talked among each other, a staff member came into the room and taped a piece of paper onto the wall, and then he said to them, "This is the chart to see who will fight who. Take a good look and get ready to fight your opponents." And then he left.
"I can't wait to see who I'm beating up!" Wario said as he walked up to the paper, and everyone did the same. Soon, they knew who they were going to fight and I'm going to list them down below:
Mario Mario vs. Negi Springfield
Metaboss vs. Generic Fodder Character
Kirby vs. Ku Fei
Evangeline A.K. McDowell vs. King Dedede
Setsuna Sakurazaki vs. Marth Lowell
Douglas J. Falcon vs. Kotaro Inugami
Mana Tatsumiya vs. Lucario
Wario vs. Abnormal Lee
Negi turned to Mario and said, "Looks like I'm fighting you."
"It's-a pleasure!" Mario said. "Hope we can have a good-a match!"
"I hope so!"
Ku Fei bent down to look at Kirby and said, "Hey! We're going to fight each other-aru! I saw that you were actually very good back there! Hope we can have a great fight-aru!"
"Me too! You're pretty good yourself for a girl!" Kirby said.
Dedede turned to Eva and said, "Hmph! So the disrespectful girl is unfortunate enough to face a king like me! I admit you showed some skills back there, but I'm going to show you that I'm even better!"
"Save the talking for until you lose, fatty," Eva said to him rudely.
Setsuna walked up to Marth and said, "Since we both are swordsman, I'm going to go all out on you. Let's have an honorable match."
"I'm looking forward to it too," Marth said.
Kotaro gave CF a nudge to the side and said, "Hey! Are you ready to take on me? I'm warning you, I'm tough!"
"You're full of yourself, kid," CF said to him. "Let's see who the real man is on the stage when our turn comes!"
Lucario bowed down respectfully to Mana and said, "It will be an honor to have a duel against you." She simply responded by nodding and smiling.
-
Outside, everyone was desperately waiting for the next fight began. After fifteen minutes of waiting, Talko appeared on the stage and said out loud into his microphone, "Sorry for the wait! Now we shall begin the second half of the fight!"
TO BE CONTINUED
I'm not going to show favor to the Smashers this time as the Negima characters will actually win some of the fights against them. Let the fights begin next chapter!
Yes, this Talko is the same one from Super Smash Racing 2: F-30 Grand Prix and is therefore my OC. Brawtaunt, the Smash Pro, is obviously OC too.
GAME2002 EXTRA SHOW
Sonic popped up on top of a hill and said, "Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like. But if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good. It's your body! No one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to. So what do you do? First, you say 'No!' Then, you get out of there. Most important, you got to tell someone you trust, like your parent, a teacher, or a police officer."
"Sonic! My love!" Amy suddenly tossed herself onto him to give him a hug.
"No!" Sonic shouted, and he broke free from her grasp and zoomed off as fast as he could.
