Bash at Big Battlefield

Dues

The stone of Big Battlefield's floor bobbed in and out of focus as Quinn did pushups. Rosalina relayed final instructions, but all Quinn could think about was Kazuya and Daisy's interview that played before the fight.

"The Smash Organization offered me a handsome paycheck to appear last time, but I turned it down. But now, they want me to appear and deliver a beating to a whelp. That was the extra incentive I needed."

If Daisy had seen the wicked smile that Kazuya had made, she ignored it, "As much as I love Rosie and Quinnie, I couldn't let my homie Kaz go it alone, so that's what's gonna happen," she said.

"The music will be Kitsch," the canned voice of Mills Ftames announced.

At this, Quinn hopped to his feet.

At least we got to reminisce about how we met in our interview, that was nice, Quinn thought to himself.

"3, 2, 1, GO!"

"Daisy, honey, I'm so sorry for this," Rosalina sighed.

With that, she sped forward, jumping up to the platform where Daisy stood. She and the Luma worked together to make sure Daisy was continually juggled in the air. Meanwhile, Kazuya jumped down to meet Quinn on the main level, assuming his stance.

"Make sure this isn't a waste of my time," snarled Kazuya.

Quinn stepped forward, putting all he had into a basic straight punch. Kazuya ducked, sweeping Quinn. Somehow, he spun in a full circle, continuing the onslaught on his ankles. When Quinn finally lost his balance, even being upside down in the air didn't spare him from a thrust kick to the face. Quinn collapsed to the ground, scrambling up in an instant, only to be pierced by a hot laser from Kazuya's third eye. To add insult to injury, a golf club to the back courtesy of Daisy only piled on the damage.

Kazuya huffed, "Perhaps the goddess will be a better opponent."

"You don't just get to walk away Daisy!" Rosalina shouted.

Kazuya once again fired off a thrust kick, but the Luma blocked it.

"Hm," Kazuya grunted, taking his stance again, "At least a cosmic opponent will provide a modicum of challenge."

Meanwhile, Daisy and Quinn circled one another.

"You have no idea how excited I am that we finally get to spar."

"Hell of a time to bring this up Daisy," snapped Quinn.

Daisy shrugged, "You've been busy, and I didn't wanna be rude. But now I get to see if you've surpassed your master as people have said."

"Alright, let's get to it,"

Quinn ran, but Daisy jumped, leaving Quinn open to getting river danced on. Quinn launched a kick, but the spores Buckenberry sent had him on the back foot, an errant laser from Kazuya put knocked him down.

"Get away from me," Kazuya demanded suddenly as the Luma slashed at him.

"And now, you deal with me," Rosalina hissed.

Holding her signature wand like a baseball bat, she cracked and unsuspecting Daisy across the back with it.

"OW!" screeched Daisy, "Shit Rosie, what the hell was that…?"

A thrust kick from Quinn knocked the Princess of Sarasaland silent.

Quinn caught sight of Kazuya from across the stage, eying a boomerang.

"Such uncouth weaponry," he said, eying the still-charging Luma, "But it will do."

He through the Boomerang just as the Luma pounced once again. Quinn begged his muscles the move to do anything about it, but he was struck dumb, The boomerang knocked him directly into a palm strike from Daisy, sending him up to the top Blast Zone!

Quinn: 2

Rosalina:3

Daisy: 3

Kazuya: 3

Quinn hopped down from the Revival Platform, pulling Rosalina off of a mounted guard she had Daisy in.

"Rosa," he shouted, "We need to work as a team,"

Rosalina's anger immediately flushed from her face. She shut her eyes, practicing deep, meaningful breaths.

"You're right," she said, "Let's go,"

And so, the duos clashed. The metal of Rosalina's aand and Daisy's golf club smashed against each other. The only other sound was the whistling of the wind as Kazuya and Quinn weaved around each other's strikes. Simultaneous thrust kicks sandwiched a Capsule in between them, causing it to explode. Just as he lost his footing, he felt karate gloves clench his ankle.

"DAISY! NOW!" ordered Kazuya.

Before Quinn knew it he was flying through the air, right into Daisy's legendary barbed dress. The tomboyish princess spun, the cuts on his face filling his eyes with tears of pain, just as Peach had done to Master Hart more than a few times. He saw Daisy hang off the ledge to prevent his safe entry, but even then, the world was a watery blur, and Quinn fell limply to the Blast Zone.

Quinn: 1

Rosalina:3

Daisy: 3

Kazuya: 3

A Smash Ball appeared, The Luma warding off Daisy's and Kazuya's attempted capture of it, while Rosalina broke it herself. They were in the perfect position for the kill.

"GRAND STAR!" Rosalina bellowed

Quinn couldn't help but as his opponents were bombarded by star bits growing the Grand Star. Eventually, the grand energy of the cosmos exploded, knocking both Daisy and Kazuya to the Blast Zone!

Quinn: 1

Rosalina: 3

Daisy: 2

Kazuya: 2

"Nice move!" Quinn said, holding out his hand for a high five.

Rosalina and the Luma reciprocated. Just as their opponents appeared on their separate Revival Platforms, a Party Ball fall to the battlefield.

"Can't talk, gotta get that!" blubbered Quinn.
Not even Daisy's palm thrusts or Kazuya's kicks kept his eyes off of the Party Ball, Quinn immediately jumped for its payload when it flashed open. A Smart Bomb slipped out of his hand when Kazuya unleashed a torrent of kicks, the second kick knocking him into it. Daisy, Kazuya, and Quinn all found themselves in the explosion.

"I'm coming Quinn," declared Rosalina.

Both the karate devil and the princess found themselves on the business end of flying flip kicks.

"LAUNCH STAR, COME FORTH!" Rosalina commanded.

The princess of the stars found herself launched towards her two opponents, successfully tackling both, from the ground however, Quinn could see a Pokeball tucked into Kazuya's massive clenched hand.

"ROSA, WATCH OUT," Quinn cried.

Kazuya smiled evilly, throwing down the ball, and unleashing a Staryu.

"KEEYAH!" the starfish Pokemon grunted.

Before either of them could react, they found themselves pelted by razor-sharp stars as Staryu unleashed its Swift attack.

"Heh, how ironic," Kazuya growled, "The woman of the stars pelted by stars,"

An impish grin on her face Daisy cooed, "I don't get it, could you explain it to me?"

Kazuya frowned, "I'm thankful that this pitiful display is almost at its end,"

Daisy untucked a Pitfall from a hidden compartment in her dress, "You'll be singing a different tune when I throw this bad boy out.

Finally, the Staryu disappeared. As Rosalina and Quinn dropped to the floor, Daisy took a baseball pitcher's stance.

"Sorry about this loves," she said, "But Kaz is getting cranky."

She threw the Pitfall. A colorful aura enveloped Rosalina

"FUCK!" shouted Daisy, "I forgot you could do that!"

Rosalin assumed the same pitcher's stance Daisy had earlier.

"You forget I've been invited to all the sports events you have darling. I can read you like a book."

With those words, Rosalina tossed the Pitfall back burrowing Daisy into the ground. A running, jumping punch sent the encumbered princess to the very tip of the Blast Zone, but she managed to fly back.

"You may be loud, but you're tough, I can respect that," Kazuya said, "But these two are mince meat in the palm of my hand."

Quinn charged, "I may be, but she's not."

With that, Quinn delivered a soccer kick to Kazuya's nether region. He didn't drop as Quinn had expected, but he dropped his stance. Quinn grinned. He could work with that.

A barrage of punches saw Kazuya wobbling over the edge of the stage, completely unguarded.

"EXPLODING KICK!" Quinn yelled.

As Kazuya flew towards the Blast Zone, Quinn gulped. Kazuya had transformed into his devil form and was flying back.

"Quinn, don't," Rosalina hissed.

"I've held you down all match, and this is the one competent thing I can do. I'm sorry," Quinn's voice warbled.

Closing his eyes, he pitched himself off stage colliding with Kazuya and dragging him down in the process.

QUINN MARAMDUKE ELIMINATED

Kazuya sauntered over to a recently spawned Assist Trophy and opened it.

"YO!" said the likeness of Knuckles the Echidna.

Rosalina clenched her fists in anger, her entire body vibrating, "Do you think this scares me?"

"Kaz, we might be in trouble here," Daisy quivered through a shaky boxing stance.

Kazuya scoffed, "It's just a pouting woman. I've encountered many, and not one has been a threat to me.

"Luma, go. Don't hold back," Rosalina ordered in a voice barely above a whisper.

The Luma charged, unleashing a lightning-fast barrage of sharpened punches and kicks to Daisy, a final kick sending her to the Blast Zone just as a digging uppercut sent Rosalina there as well.

Quinn: 0

Rosalina: 1

Daisy: 1

Kazuya: 1

A bewildered Kazuya shot Daisy a baffled glance, "That thing moves faster than the finest Capoeira master, and I don't understand how."

"I told you!" Daisy snapped from the Revival Platform.

Wand and golf club clashed against each other in the air as both princesses stepped off the Revival Platform, but Kazuya zipped up to them in his devil form, grabbing Rosalina by the throat.

"I've had enough," declared Kazuya.

Slamming Rosalina down to the earth, a barrage of kicks and punches, Kazuya's famous 10-hit combo, pummeled a defenseless Rosalina, Kazuya once again transforming, gripping her by the throat, and slamming her down into the Blast Zone.

GAME! DAISY AND KAZUYA WIN!
 Kazuya walked up the tunnel, Daisy following behind, visibly frowning.

"That was fun," said the half-devil, "I look forward to working with the Super Smash Brothers in the future."

Meanwhile, the losing team was not so jovial.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking," Quinn grumbled, as a furious Rosalina glared down at him.

"I don't either," Rosalina huffed, "We were outclassed, but not beyond the point of problem-solving. That's what you have to learn if you're to beat Red.."

"Yeah," Quinn blurted.

Rosalina sighed, "Please Quinn, get some rest and think about what I've said.."

With that, she disappeared.

Quinn stumbled up the tunnel alone. When he entered the auditorium, Mario and Kazuya were shaking hands.

"Thanks for coming Kazuya," Mario said.

"I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other shortly. Men, let's go."

The former Tekken Force soldiers that had been looming in the back of the room huddle onto the elevator, Kazuya following them down. As soon as the elevator snapped back up, Daisy immediately slumped.

"I thought he'd never leave," she sighed, "Weegee, we're going to put on some hot cocoa, you're gonna undress me and rub my back until I tell you to stop."

"Damn," Cloud said.

Meanwhile, Luigi blushed, "Yes ma'am,"

Mario sighed, "I didn't realize this was gonna take such a toll on everyone. I'm sorry. Dismissed," Mario said with a sigh.

And with that, the group departed, Quinn, shooting off a text to Zangief.

That demon guy that killed Ryu's master. Call him in.
