Chapter 4, Round 2 through the ending. Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with work and Golf. This chapter will focus on the remaining contestants and the drama that is caused by these challenges. Disclaimer: I don't own SSB and/or Adv. Time.

Ike's POV: We have eliminated nearly 10 of the total contestants, half of them due to violation to the rules. I wonder why the stupidity factor lingers in some of these contestants. I spoke real bluntly about the rules. I don't understand these idiots. We should be through within rounds 4 and 5. Peach thinks we all need to take a break and go on a 'date' something I dread extremely. I hate dating, all you do is activities, and sometimes when it's not your turn, you just sit/stand and veg. I am a productive guy. I have been able to learn the new technologies, despite the fact that I still love my homeland and our ways. It's about time to set up the simulation. We are bumping it up to a level 4 training classification system made by the Smash Bros Administration. We started them out on a Level 1-2 hybrid. There are 10 levels in this system. Level 10 being the one that is used to apply to the High Ranking Champion Competitions. We all decided that a level 6 would be the bench mark. Then if we have a more than 4, we will increase the levels until there is only 4. Then those 4 will become the new smashers. "Before we start round 2, would all the remaining contestants, and all the smashers report to the auditorium." the announcement came. I wonder what's going on, we are just about set up in the control room. We finish up any critical processes then we leave and head down to the auditorium.
At the Auditorium: "Thank you all for coming, we have some important business we need to attend to. First we need Samus, Ike, Marth, Lyn, Mario, Peach, Link, Zelda, the Robins, Lucina, Luigi, Little Mac, Palutena, and Shulk to come up on the stage. We will have a group to operate along with me and if I am gone on business, or vacation. As the Presidents: we have Mario and Ike; VPs: Marth and Lucina; Secretary: Zelda; Training advisers: Link, Ike, Little Mac; Councilor: Peach, Tech adviser: Samus. We will also have an committee that will make decisions along with those mentioned. All these people who are on the stage are the start of our committee. We are also going to start having different groups: If you want to start one, you can talk to me, one of the Presidents or one of the VPs and we will debate about it and notify you when we have come to a decision. Now, you are all excused. You contestants, I have been informed that 'Round 2' will begin in a few minutes." Master Hand said. Me and the other crew that were working on the challenge went back and finished setting up the simulation. We start them again the same way as we did in the first round.

Alice's POV: It's time to go through this again, this time, we went through the Mental Portion. Unlike last time, there was some physical aspect thrown into it. We are all separated like before. We all completed the stage and went through the Emotional portion. I grown to myself knowing that this is the weakest part of my character. This time they tied a lot more physical characteristics into this portion. I think I understand the system, they want to get rid of the weak willed so they don't have to deal with those problems. So I am able to endure these problems. And this time, we all had to attack the villains, who continually taunted me, it seemed impossible to attack them, then out of the blue, I saw William run and attack this brute, but he was unsuccessful as the brute used a dark magic blast to defeat him. I was angered and I about got defeated, I then understood that I had to calculate when and where to strike. I timed it perfect and I stabbed him from behind, I find the door and I see Will. Then I remember seeing him vanishing into thin air after he was defeated, which meant it was a holographic projection. However, I was blinded by pain, anger, and hatred toward that brute. We then proceed to the Physical portion, which had parts of the other two. We finished and I wanted to cry, I decided I better talk to Peach since she's a female and the new councilor.
"What brings you here Alice?" she asks, I sigh and start telling her of the pain I am feeling because I can't control my emotions and about my romantic interests. After I tell her all of this she says, "I keep saying we need to take a few day break, but Ike, Samus, and a few others disagree saying that we can't take a break. Does he know?" she asks, I respond with a no, then she told me to tell him when we had a spare minute. Results are posted, 5 more were eliminated. I am not among those, neither is Will.

Peach's POV: "Ike, we really need to take a few days break, some of the contestants have come to me talking about their emotional struggles; I know that some of them will break under the stress. Why can't you see that?" I say to Ike, his serious face revealing nothing to his response, then he takes a breath and says,
"We can't spare any time. If needs be, we will go to 2 challenges a day or we go into the night; we have to be done with this in time for the opening round of the big tourney. We should be done in a few days. We have already weeded out 15 weak-willed knuckleheads, Once we are down to 4, we will officially be done." I don't understand why we can't take a few days break, the blasted tourney can be moved. I just don't understand it. If Ike ever got a girlfriend, he would be the exact same, nothing would change. I give up and I decide that some herbal tea will help me relax.

(Next Day) Finn's POV: We are about to go through another round, which could possibly be the last, depending on how many are eliminated. This time they are doing something special, We can choose a partner from the V.I.P. list. Alice chooses William; I was given the choice to partner with Ike, the ultimate champion. They also are broadcasting this live to the smashers/ contestants. Unlike the other times, this is a all-in-one event. They have it scrambled so we have to expect everything like we will if we make it into Smash. Ike doesn't do much, since he's not a contestant. Then at the final stage, Ike leaves so he can do something else. Me, Alice, and William are the first three, so we go first. I am challenged with Crazy Hand. He starts to attack, I dodge his beams and other variety of attacks, I also counter and attack along the way. Calculating his moves, I estimate when he will be vulnerable, I wait and finally a weak spot is open, I use all my might to attack that area, and he is defeated. Then I meet the other three and Ike comes over and says, "You guys can go; and just so you know, Finn was with Crazy Hand; Alice was with Master Hand; and William was with me. Results will be posted in the morning, you three may also want to talk to some of the smashers and the other contestants. Oh, and we also may do an interview with you 3 plus Bonnie." Ike then walked into the control room. I guess somebody switched him out on the ending battle so he could go into the control room and work things on that end. As we walk through the smashers, they all cheer and congratulate us as we walk through, I look for Bonnie through the crowd, I see her, she comes up to me and says, "That was amazing! There is no way that you are going to be eliminated!" She says all excited. I blush slightly and reply,
"Thank you, I'm going to go into my quarters and reflect a little bit, then I'll come watch you." She nods and I leave and go to my quarters.
Man, I hope that is the last one, this would be the 4th round we have had. I don't really want to go through another, I have grown tired. I know some of the contestants couldn't go any more rounds and still function. 15 weak-willed contestants have been eliminated. 3 of the regular contestants were eliminated, 2 of the VIP contestants left, leaving only 10 contestants left for the fighters, if 7 miraculously get eliminated, then we will be done. Bonnie looked so beautiful. Wait? Why did I just think that? I think as I contemplate the possibilities of being eliminated. Why did I think that? I do admit that I have felt something from time to time; I have just pushed it away. It's about time for the supporters to start, I go and find a spot to watch. Samus sees me and comes over to sit next to me. "What's on your mind? You seem to be trying to sort out your feelings." I start telling her about how I was feeling. After explaining everything to her she smiles slightly and says, "I know how you feel, I have the same problems; having outburst of feelings and trying to brush them off. Here's some helpful advice: listen to your heart, but also use your gut to know when the time is right, I am going to act soon." She then left and I had a new-found idea of what I was going to do. However, the time is not right. I am not yet prepared to act. So I watch as Peebles goes through the challenges she is faced with. It looked more calming than the fighting we were put through.

(Sometime after the other challenge ended): Me, Will, and Alice were shown our fighting tapes in privacy. I bet the object was for us to reflect and see some of our flaws to correct if we were the chosen ones. Each of us was left with specific instructions to watch, reflect, evaluate, then to head down to the stages. I finish with the first part, now to go to the stage. We all meet about at the same time. Then, Ike, Samus, Peach, and Zelda arrive. They explain to us that we were going to be interviewed. Apparently, we were all split. I was with Ike for the first portion, then Peach, and finally Zelda. Samus was working with other crew on cameras. Then then they had all three of us together for a broadcast that would be to all the smashers. They ask us a few questions and we answer them. Finally, when we are done, we can officially have time to reflect and kill time until the morning, when results will be posted.
I finally built up enough courage to tell my angel how I feel about her. "Bonnie, there is a confession I have to make." I start out with. She doesn't truly know what it's about but tells me to continue. "Well, I...um...I guess there's no beating around the bush. I love you." I started blushing like mad. I fully expected that she would reject me. I am wrong, as she walks closer to me, closes the gap between our heads, and softly, lightly kisses me. I am completely fine with being wrong. She explains that she has loved me for a long time too, but could never really express it because of her royal obligations.

Will's POV: Well, this is possibly the last match we will have to do for these tests. I can't comprehend why Alice choose me. It doesn't really matter now, but it still lingers with me still. I know that some of the contestants wanted to take a break. Heck, even some of the smashers wanted us to take a break; namely Peach. I don't understand these women. I doubt any man will be able to. They are so beautiful, yet so hard to understand sometimes. I overheard some female smashers talk about guys, they were all looking at me, so I did something great to get them quit their talking so I could concentrate on training (They were in the practice room). I used a move similar to Ike's Aether move. Then I used something like Eruption, but with a fairly loud bang. It scared them off. And I was finally able to train. But that was a few days ago. Like other great men, I am starting to feel things like emotions towards a certain young fighter. I can't think of why a big strong man who doesn't have hardly any emotions would start to develop some for a lady. Anyway I finally confess my new found feelings and she lightly kisses me and tells me of her youth when she had a "schoolgirl" crush on me despite the fact that we were about the same age. She also told me that her friends tried to figure out if I liked her back. I however, being the blunt and strong guy, revealed nothing to the matter, because nothing was the answer.

2 couples down, one more to go. Sorry for the length of it. The next chapter will be the results. Will there be a Round 5?
