"Hey, look!" Link exclaimed to Zelda and Cloud. "Looks like the tournament matchups are out!" He pointed to the papers on the bulletin board that a few smashers were looking at.

"Doesn't seem like there's enough space for us to look now," Zelda said. "I'm going to go have a look later." She ran off.

"I wonder why she ran," Cloud said.

Zelda ran off back to her room, and opened up her laptop.

"Come on... delete, DELETE!"

She was trying to destroy every single piece of evidence that showed that she was Sheik. She couldn't have anyone find out, especially Ganondorf. No one knew, except for Link, that is.

Link walked in the room with Cloud. They didn't care about the possibility that she could've been working on something secret.

She quickly changed windows and said, "You could've knocked," with an annoyed voice.

"Yeah, whatever," Link said. "Let's go look at the matchups now!" He made a sad puppy face.

"Why can't you just go with Cloud?" Zelda said, still annoyed.

"I want all of us to see it!" he said, as cheery as a little boy in an amusement park.

"Just go, Link," Zelda said, shooing them off.

"Come on, man," Cloud said, dragging Link across the floor.

Zelda closed the door, because Cloud didn't.

"I'm pretty sure that you can just look it up online," Zelda said. She had finished deleting the last video and article of her identity being revealed and went to Master Hand's blog.

She clicked on the "Matchups" button and up came a list of the battles on the first day of the Glory Tournament (basically 1v1 on For Glory).

"Let's see here... the tournament starts at 10 today? Barely anyone's ready for battle at that time... PAC-MAN vs. Mr. Game and Watch, what an obvious match... Marth vs. Link, huh? Link's probably winning. Hmm... so who am I against?"

OH NO.

She was pitted against Sheik.

"Shit, shit, shit, SHIT! What am I going to do?!"

Zelda had never learned how to make clones before. She probably didn't even have the magical capacity to do it anyway.

"ZELDA! ZELDA! DID YOU SEE?! DID YOU?!" Link exclaimed as he barged in. Cloud followed behind him, with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah..."

"What are you going to do, Zelda?" Cloud asked.

"You... know?" she asked.

"Yeah, Link told me," he said. "When we went to see the matchups, he was like, 'How is Zelda going to fight herself?! Oh, yeah, you don't know. Sheik is Zelda in disguise. And don't tell anyone, 'kay?' But don't worry, it wasn't that loud enough for anyone other than me to hear."

"Sure... but what am I going to do?" she muttered.

"Hmm...why can't you just tell Master Hand, then?" Cloud said. "He probably won't be able to tell anyone anyway."

"But won't people ask about the change?" she asked.

"Calling Marth and Link! Marth and Link! Your battle is about to begin, so please get ready," the intercom said.

"Well, looks like we'll have to figure that out later then!" Link said.

Then later...

Link noticed that Marth seemed more menacing than usual.

"Uh, hello... Marth. Let's have a great fight, yeah?"

"Yeah, whatever. You're not the one I want to fight anyway. Let's get this over with!"

Marth lunged in for the first strike.

"So, who do you think's going to win?" Cloud asked.

"Link, of course. According to the tier list the fans have made, Marth is just one above Link, but I think that with Link's weapons, he'll be able to win." Zelda said.

"Well, looks like he's proving you wrong," he said, pointing to the battle.

Marth was landing combos left and right, and Link could barely land an attack.

"GAME!"

"Whoa... what happened to Marth?" Zelda said.

Cloud pointed to Bayonetta, who was also watching the fight.

"But of course."

Following yesterday's events, the girls had given flowers, sweets, and other assorted gifts to Marth as an apology. Obviously, Bayonetta didn't do that. The placement of the gifts outside of the window made it look like a memorial. The painting that Peach made really topped it off.

She scooted away and decided to go the library.

The library had many books, with topics spanning from the basics of teleportation magic (that one was contributed by Zelda) to the 12 volumes of Shugo Chara (that was contributed by Toon Link).

"Let's see here... anything on cloning magic?"

She picked up a few books that piqued her interest.

"Oh, hello, Zelda," a male voice said.

She turned around to see Robin (guess he was a dude today) keeping a few books suspended in the air.

"Oh, hi," she replied. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought that I'd take this time to look up who Sheik is. Sheik is such a mysterious person! Never really showing up, not even for breakfast, or dinner, but only for fights!" he said. "You transform into hi- wait, is Sheik a boy or girl?"

"Umm..."

"Oh well, that doesn't matter. Anyways, shouldn't you be Sheik? You know, with the transformation thing and all."

"Umm... no I'm not. Just think of it in Charlotte when Misa possesses her little sister without her knowing (sorry, spoiler!). I never remember the times when Sheik supposedly transforms into me."

Actually, she remembered a time where she battled as Sheik and easily beat Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, and Bowser.

"Really? Then, Sheik, are you there? Helloooo?" Wow, seems that Robin is somewhat of a gullible person.

"I don't think that's going to make Sheik come out..."

"Ok then. I'm off!"

Zelda went back to the book she was reading. It was about different types of magic, but sadly, there was nothing on cloning. None of the books had anything about that either.

"Hmm... maybe I could have them cook up a CPU right before the fight..."

She ran off and told Link and Cloud her plan.

"But won't you lose?" Link said.

"It doesn't matter. I'm planning to win, obviously," Zelda said, very sure of her plan.

"Well, try your best then," Cloud said.

"It's almost time for your fight, so let's get prepared," Link said.

So, they walked up to the official stage controller room, which it controlled stage selection for the tournaments. For some reason, it still had the function to create a CPU even though tournaments didn't need them at all.

Luckily, the room was empty, as it was usually left on autopilot.

"Okay, Zelda, do you want to be Sheik or no?" Cloud asked.

"I'll be Sheik, of course," she said, and transformed into Sheik.

Just then the intercom sounded, calling for Sheik and Zelda.

"Well, now's my time to shine," Sheik said, and vanished.

"Whoa, those two sure got there fast," Rosalina said.

"Sheik's dishing out those combos early! Nice!" Shulk said.

"Sheik's moveset is made for that, right?" Robin said. "It's part of the reason why the fans believe she's the top tier. That being said, I wonder why Master Hand put the highest and lowest in battle together."

"Yeah, huh..." she said.

"This CPU is a challenge indeed... maybe if it were an amiibo, I wouldn't be able to defeat it..."

Sheik went for a kick, but then the Zelda CPU transported out of the way.

"Let's get her offstage..."

"Should we go back? You know, in case they think that it's weird that we're not watching," Link said.

"You can go back. I'm going to keep watch here," Cloud said.

"Why do you get to keep watch?!" Link asked.

"You guys are from the same franchise, right?" he said.

"Where's Link? I'd expect him to be somewhere around here," Shulk said, looking around.

As if on cue, Link took a seat and watched the TV, which was streaming the fight.

"There he is," Rosalina said.

"Whoop, Zelda sure lost quickly," Shulk commented as the fight ended.

"What did you expect?" she said.

"Yeah, yeah. I wonder how Sheik is going to be against Marth, though. He seems more menacing in this tournament," he said.

"No, we need to see Marth vs. Bayonetta," Rosalina said, followed by Shulk saying, "Oh, definitely."

As if on cue, Bayonetta showed up. Marth was here watching the stream, so it was most likely to pester him.

After the battle...

Zelda appeared out of nowhere, and of course Sheik was nowhere to be seen.

"So, not much of a challenge, was it?" Link said, sipping some orange juice.

"Yeah, I guess. The Cruel Smash Challenge is a whole lot harder though," Zelda said, feeling quite beat.

She sighted Marth and thought, I wonder what happened to Marth?

"What happened to Marth? You know, other than the fact that we removed him of his dignity," Zelda asked.

Just then, Cloud showed up and elaborated on the subject.

"Didn't you remember how he came back yesterday?" he said.

"Oh yeah, he was naked. Wait, did he go streaking?!" Link exclaimed.

"Not on purpose... what could he do? Bayonetta took his clothes. Come to think about it, I don't think he ever got them back," Cloud said.

"Dang... luckily I left early enough to not see that," Zelda said, with a tad bit of relief.

"It doesn't matter," Link said. "Besides, you already saw his dick."

"No need to say that... besides, basically everyone saw it. Except for Lucina and the Pokemon, of course,"Cloud said.

"Okay, don't remind me of that image..." Zelda said, and walked off.

Somewhere else...

"Umm... you're okay, right Marth?" Roy said, a little uneasy.

"Yes, of course I am. Why would you think otherwise?" Marth asked, glaring at Bayonetta.

"You're sort of... staring at Bayonetta a lot," Ike said, with a plate of food in his hand.

"It's called observing the opponent, Ike. Robin or anyone else could say that," Marth said.

"I didn't know that observing your opponents meant staring at them 24/7," Roy said, sipping his glass of water. "What's next, watching her in the shower?"

"OF COURSE NOT!" That came out a little louder than it was supposed to.

Everyone around looked at him.

"Umm... sorry!"

Now somewhere else...

"You did great, Lady Palutena!" Pit exclaimed.

"Really? Wasn't much of a challenge for a goddess like me," Palutena said. "But get ready for the camping trip next week, okay?"

"Okay then!" Pit said.

Then that means that's the end of this chapter. The next chapter is the Camping Trip!
