Random Pointless Rambling: If this story was made in an anime, 'Eien no Toki o Koete' (roughly translated into Trespassing Eternal Time) would make a great opening theme song for it. It's one of the opening themes for the Negima anime.

Chapter 13
It's been a long time since I fought a tough opponent like you-aru!


CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!

That was the sound of a boulder crashing into the same Generic Fodder Character who challenged Captain Falcon to the bumper car a few chapters back.

"AAAAAAAH!!!!" The Generic Fodder Character shot out of the stage and crashed into the wall really hard and then passed out. The boulder that hit him uncurled itself to reveal itself as a muscular anthropomorphic pig.

Talko ran up to the Generic Fodder Character, checked on him, and said, "Looks like he's out for the count. All right, the winner of this fight is Metaboss!" And everyone cheered while Metaboss simply waved back at everyone and then walked to the waiting room.

"That sure was a short match," CF commented as he and his friends watched the pig taking a seat at a bench placed against the wall.

"So if he won, that means I'll have to fight him for my second battle," Negi said. "According to the chart, that is."

-

Back among the audiences, Meta-Knight said, "Kirby will be fighting next."

"You think he'll win?" Luigi asked him.

"I'm sure he will win. I know him as good as you lot. Well, to be fair, I do not know much about his opponent and it would be unwise to look down on people you're not familiar with. For all you know, his opponent may be a formidable foe too."

"Well, I think Kirby shouldn't have much problem handling his opponent."

"Ku Fei has a black belt in Chinese martial arts," Yue explained to him while drinking Falcon Punch.

"Where'd you get that?" Yoshi asked her.

Talko got onto the center of the stage and said, "And now let us begin the third fight! Kirb vs. Ku Fei!"

Cheers filled the air when Kirby and Ku Fei both came up onto the stage and waved to their fans.

"First, we have Kirby the pink puffball of the Smashers! He may look cute and cuddly, but this little tyke has unimaginable powers and is well known for his black hole-like stomach! Second, we have another person whose appearance is deceiving! Ku Fei, the Chinese girl who is said to have the strength of a gorilla within her petite and attractive body!"

"That's not nice…" Ku Fei commented.

"Ku Fei! You can do it!" Negi shouted to her.

"Beat her up!" Dedede shouted. "Just so I can clobber you myself afterwards in front of everybody!"

"Wait until you can actually advance that far yet," Eva said to him

Kirby, with a red headband around his head, walked to one far end of the stage while Ku-Fei walked to the other side and they bowed down respectively to each other before getting into fighting stance. "Show me what you've got!" Kirby said.

"I hope you are tough too-aru!" she said.

"Both sides have paid their respects to each other and are more than ready to fight, so let us begin the fight now!" Talko said, and then he jumped off the stage fast.

Kirby took the first move by running towards Ku Fei and jumped towards her doing a spinning kick with one leg stuck out. Ku Fei easily countered it by throwing a kick at him and halting in midair. While still in air, Kirby started throwing a barrage of quick jabs at her while she did a similar move and countered each of his punches with her fist. During the midst of the punching, Ku Fei spin around to do a roundhouse house kick that managed to catch Kirby off guard and sent him crashing off to the side, but the puffball got back up again.

"That sure caught me off guard," Kirby thought. "Got to be more careful next time! Here I go!" Kirby ran towards Ku Fei and tossed himself into the air at her. Ku Fei stretched out one leg in an attempt to kick him but Kirby caught her by her the foot and flipped himself high up into the air and performed a drop kick.

Ku Fei jumped out of the way to avoid the kick but the moment Kirby landed, he dashed forward did a roundhouse kick using his stubby legs. Ku Fei jumped over to him avoid it and swept her legs on the floor and Kirby barely avoided it. "You're fast-aru!" Ku Fei said.

"You're pretty good yourself too!" Kirby said.

"When it comes to close range combat, I'm the best-aru!"

The two continued clashing against each other while the audience watched with great interest. "That girl sure is talented," MK commented. "She is able to put up a fight against Kirby."

"This class sure has lots of weird students…" Red said. He shifted his eyes to Chachamaru who was sitting towards the distance on his left and said, "Especially that one… I mean… a robot in school?"

"Hai!" Kirby threw himself at Ku Fei in an attempt to grab her but she leaped up into the air to avoid getting caught and he planted his face onto the floor instead.

"Missed me!" she taunted, and then she came crashing back down with her fist pointed at him. Kirby quickly rolled out of the way to avoid getting hit and when her fist hit the floor; pieces of the stage (it's made of wood) flew everywhere as her punch tore a hole on it.

"Such strength!" Kirby thought in amazement. Ku Fei brought down both her hands at him to hit him (he's a short guy, you know) but Kirby quickly did a cartwheel to roll aside and then behind her before performing a back flip kick, but she also performed a back flip to leap forward and avoid getting hit in the back.

Kirby turned to the pieces of woods that were lying at the side and sucked them into his mouth and then facing Ku Fei's direction, he spat out the pieces of the woods at. "Trying projectiles this time? Won't work on me too-aru!" she claimed, and she easily punched the incoming pieces of woods into pieces.

Kirby jumped at her doing a spinning kick again but this time Ku Fei caught him in the face with her hand and then slammed him down onto the floor really hard.

SLAM!

"Heheh!" she chuckled.

"Ow…" Kirby cried. When Ku Fei took her hand off however, Kirby smirked and without a word, he shot up into the air in a spinning motion and struck her underneath the chin hard and knocked her back. "Gazer Spiral!"

"Ya!"

As she was flipping back through the air, Kirby jumped at her and fire erupted out from his body and basically turned him into a fireball, ramming her in the back really hard. "Burn!"

SMAAAAASH!!!!

"AH!!!" Ku Fei fell onto the floor and desperately rolled around the floor to put the fire and she eventually did. She got up and rubbed the burning pain on her back (the back of her kung-fu garb is burned off a bit too) and said, "I didn't know you can make fire appear from your body-aru!"

"That's just a little bit of what I can do," Kirby told her. "Try and hit me again if you can!"

"You're taunting me, aren't you? You're asking for it-aru!" Ku Fei rushed forward to him and then lifted up her arm before bringing down a karate chop, but Kirby suddenly transformed into a piece of rock right when he was about to get hit. The karate chop came down on the rock so hard that cracks appeared all over it. Ku Fei pulled back her hand and shook it a bit and wondered what happened. "Uh? Where'd he go?"

"He turned into a rock!" Negi said in shock.

"It must be a substitution ninjutsu or sorts!" Kaede said. "He knows ninja techniques too?"

"Is that what you think?" Marth asked.

"Come out here! Where are you?" Ku Fei said cheerfully while looking left to right for Kirby, but then the rock suddenly cracked even more until it broke down into pieces and reveal that Kirby was hiding in the rock all along. "There you are!"

"I admit… That still hurt a bit…" he cried, rubbing his head. "You sure are strong enough to shatter rocks with fists…"

"That's no big deal to me-aru!" she claimed. "Cool! Is it magic that you did?"

"You can say that it's something like that," Kirby said as he leaped back and got into fighting stance again. "Time to get serious!"

"Me too!"

"Okay, here I go!" Kirby then opened his mouth and started sucking in lots of air and Ku Fei felt herself getting pulled forward.

"Aru?! What is this?!" she gasped. She planted her feet against the stage as hard as she could and bent down to try to fight against the air current. "Are you trying to eat me-aru?!" She desperately turned around and tried to crawl away, but Kirby sucked even harder and she was getting hopelessly dragged in.

"What is he doing?!" Negi gasped.

"Oh, that's his signature move," CF told him. "He can suck anything into his mouth."

"He's trying to eat her?!" Setsuna said in shock.

"Well, you can say that, but it can be harmless. Kirby's special ability is to copy the power of whatever or whoever he swallowed. Don't worry; he can spit her back out alive and well again."

Ku Fei tried to dig her nails into the stage and cried as she got closer and closer to Kirby's mouth. But when her feet was about to go into his mouth, Kirby stopped inhaling and suddenly jumped onto her back. "Got you fooled, didn't I?" he said. "German Suplex!" And then grabbing her by the back, he flipped backwards and lifted her up into the air before slamming her headfirst onto the floor really hard.

SMASH!

"OW!!!"

Next, Kirby jumped onto her body and tap danced on her rapidly, slowly sinking her into the floor. "Fury Stomp!" After stomping her enough times, he pulled her out from the floor again and then leaped forward to slam her body onto the floor. "Pile Driver!"

CRASH!

When the impact against the floor caused her to bounce up, Kirby grabbed her in midair one more time and then perform an amazing leap high up into the air.

"Whoa! Look at him jump!" Talko said with amazement. "And you think Mario is the master of jumping!"

After reaching his max height, Kirby flipped upside-down and shot back down at a fast speed while Ku Fei struggled to break free from his grasp before she could take the seemingly fatal blow. "Air Drop!" he shouted, and they crashed back onto the stage.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!

"Whoa! That is amazing! That looks like a fatal blow too!" Talko exclaimed. "This looks like a move that can kill someone! Will Ku Fei be able to survive this?"

"Whoa man! That's going to rough!" Asuna said in shock.

"I didn't know that pink puffball would be this powerful!" Chamo said.

"That's Kirby for you," Yoshi said while eating French fries. "That's why he's fit to be my rival in eating."

"We're talking about a whole different matter here," Pikachu reminded him. "And where are you getting all those foods?"

Kirby let go of Ku Fei's body and leaped back to see what happened to her, but to his surprise he saw that Ku Fei managed to soften the impact by planting both her hands into the floor before she hit. This is to say that her head never struck the floor. Pulling her hands off from the stage, she flipped back onto her feet again and said with a sigh of relief, "Phew… That was close-aru…"

"Whoa… You're better than I thought!" Kirby said, "Never thought there would be a person to pull this off!"

"I told you I'm an expert in close range combat and martial arts! Don't look down on me-aru!" she said.

"Okay… If you can still fight, then I won't hesitate to hold back! Burn!" Kirby leaped and transformed into a fireball again before shooting forward.

"The same move won't work on me twice!" she said with confident. Pulling back on arm, she thrust it at the incoming fireball and despite the fact her palm not exactly coming in contact with Kirby, the puffball was still blown back by an invisible force and he nearly rolled off the side of the stage.

Not stopping to take a break, Ku Fei ran towards him and leaped up into the air and came falling down with a drop kick that Kirby avoided by quickly rolling back into the stage. When Ku Fei landed, she performed several back flips to go after Kirby in an attempt to hit him with it. Kirby quickly ran away from her and then opened his mouth and a stick came stuck out. He grabbed the stick and pulled it to reveal it as a hammer's handle. Gripping the hammer tightly by its handle, he swung it at Ku Fei and knocked her back into the air and she landed back down in a crouching position.

Kirby jumped at her and swung his hammer at her face, but she easily knocked the hammer out of his hand with her bare hand and caused Kirby to flinch. "Eeks!" While he was still falling from the air, Ku Fei smiled and then pulled back both her arms before thrusting them into Kirby. Not only did Kirby get hit by her palms, but a burst of ki energy was also released, thus adding more impact power to the hit.

"Double Dragon Strike!" she yelled.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!

Kirby shot back across the place like a cannonball until he crashed into the wall off the side of the stage.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!

Talko ran over to look at Kirby who had a pair of palm prints over each eye and his eyes was swirling also. "Are you all right?" Talko said to him while poking his cheek with his finger. "Hmmm… Okay… I think he's out for the count…" He got up and pointed to Ku Fei saying, "And the winner goes to Ku Fei!"

"Aru! I won!!!" she exclaimed happily. She threw her arms into the air and jumped up and down happily while everyone cheered and clapped hands.

"YAY!!! KU FEI WON!!!!" her classmates exclaimed.

"Oh my god! First Mario and now Kirby!" Luigi said in shock. "Just how strong are these students and their teacher?!"

"Incredible… Kirby lost…" MK said in disbelief.

"Hey, at least he did put up a fight," Yoshi said while munching on potato chips. "I wouldn't have been able to last that long if I was fighting that girl. We're only on equal terms when it comes to eating."

-

"Well, duh! Kirby lost too!" Falco said. "Looks like he's been doing nothing but eating lately!"

"Surprising turn of events indeed," Ganondorf said. "Younger generations nowadays are improving all the time."

Then the door opened and the kids came in. "Hey, is it true that our comrades are on TV?" Ness asked.

"Sure," Ganondorf answered with a nod. "You missed out two great fights already, but there are still a lot, so it's still not too late."

-

"Aru! I won!" Ku Fei proclaimed as she skipped happily into the waiting room.

"That was great, Ku Fei!" Negi said to her. "You're really strong!"

"Kirby was really strong too! It's been a while since I fought someone that tough-aru!" she said. She saw Kirby lying down on a sofa and thus went over to him saying, "Are you all right?"

Kirby smiled and replied, "Good fight! I have no regrets about losing!"

"Thanks for giving me a great entertainment today-aru! I hope we can have an exciting fight like this in the future!"

"Hopefully!"

Dedede then showed up and laughed at Kirby, "Dyeheheh! You lost to a little girl! Look at how much you have fallen!"

"Yeah, say whatever you want…" Kirby grumbled. "Now are you happy?"

"Dyeheheheh! I'm going up next and I will show you how a real man fights!"

-

"Heh! Negi Springfield and his students sure is an interesting bunch!" Roy said as he reclined on his throne. "Never seen those guys getting beaten around by a bunch of youngster before!"

"Yeah, I'm really surprised too," Lilina said. "Mario was defeated by their teacher and then Kirby lost to his student!"

"It's very surprising indeed, though I'm sure the tables will turn when Captain Falcon and Marth come on stage. Their victory is something that is way too predictable."

-

"And now we move on to the fourth fight!" Talko said. "Coming up next we have Dedede and Evangeline!"

Dedede and Eva stepped out from the waiting room and got onto the stage as everyone clapped hands and cheered for them. Dedede waved and thanked everyone for supporting him but Eva looked uninterested and didn't care at all.

"Here we have King Dedede the king of the obscure country that nobody cares about, Dream Land! Though he is a king, nobody seems to care about it either!" Talko said.

"Everyone is going to start caring once they see how great of a fighter I am!" Dedede claimed.

"And his opponent is the little girl named Evangeline! She appears to be an average little girl, but you have seen how she managed to make her way here! There must be a hidden potential within her!"

"Looks like she didn't spread around the fact that she's a 500 years old vampire…" Asuna said.

"That fat guy is dead," Chachazero claimed. "Master will screw him up in a few seconds. Heheheh!"

Dedede and Eva took their places on the stage and Dedede said to her, "Dyehehe! Little girl, if you still want to forfeit, you have time! You better do so before you go home crying!"

"The only person who is going home crying is you," Eva said to him.

"Looks like both sides are throwing threats at each other already!" Talko said. "They are without desperate to fight each other, so without further delay, let us began the battle!"

Once the signal was given and Talko jumped off the stage, Dedede raised his hammer and said, "Come here, little girl! I will…" Before he could even finish speaking, Eva appeared in front of him in almost a split second and slammed her fist into his stomach. "DYEH!!!!" And the king shot out of the stage and crashed into the wall.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!

Eva crossed her arms and said, "Hmph! Now who's looking down on whom?"

Everyone was shocked at how easily Eva knocked Dedede out of the stage. Talko couldn't believe what he saw and said, "Down in one hit…?"

TO BE CONTINUED

Two (or maybe three?) losses for the Smashers… Looks like you really shouldn't underestimate Negi and his students.

Metaboss is from Mario & Luigi 3 for those who didn't know.
