Not many people were comfortable with Bowser being in the hotel with them. In fact, all of them were wary of the Koopa King.

Well, almost all of them.

"This tea is very nice."

Peach giggled, "Oh, stop. Zeldie makes it better."

Bowser waved his claw, "No. This is the best tea. Period." He emphasized.

"Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable? Anything at all?" Peach asked sweetly.

"Now that you mention it," Bowser continued, "I'd appreciate it if your friends would STOP AIMING ME DOWN IN THEIR SIGHTS!" He yelled, turning around to see that Mario, Luigi, Zelda, and Samus all pointing their weapons at him.

"Krzz, Mario, suggested action: Find a less obvious hiding spot." FLUDD recommended in his robotic voice.

Mario rolled his eyes at his robotic water gun companion, and continued to refix his eyes back on the koopa king.

Luigi had his Poltergust ready to suck in any of Bowser's possible weapons that he may have on him, "Hey, bro. Your buddy there has a point. He can take an insane amount of abuse, and has survived all clashes with us."

Mario nodded, "Same can't be-a said for Ganon, that's for sure."

"Credit where it's due, Bowser isn't immune to magic." Zelda interjected.

"Maybe, but even without magic, Ganon has a lot more power than Bowser." Samus pointed out.

"So, you're claiming that because he has more power, he should win then?" Luigi asked.

"No," Zelda drawled out, "I'm saying that Ganon's proficiency in magic should win out."

"Bowser isn't a helpless," Mario continued, "He has a loyal army. He might be an idiot, but he must be doing something right if all those troopas are still loyal."

"Said 'idiot' is still sitting right here, y'know!" Bowser pointed out.

"Shut up turtle," Samus threatened, "We're debating how you'll lose in the fight."

"What makes you think I'll lose?" Bowser wondered out loud.

"He has a point there," Luigi agreed, "He's captured the princess a lot of times,"

"How many times has Ganon successfully a-kidnapped you, Zelda?" Mario finished.

Zelda went to open her mouth, and then paused. She kept thinking for several moments, then tried again. And again. And again. Until she came to a conclusion, "Ocarina of Time?"

Bowser raised a claw, "Actually, he only captured you AFTER you revealed your disguise. You evaded capture for over seven years. I can capture Peachy here immediately. Even with the knowledge that she can decapitate someone." He looked over at Zelda.

Peach looked uncomfortable for a moment.

Zelda looked defeated, until Samus came to her rescue, "Maybe. But the fact that he can force someone as powerful as Zelda into hiding proves that at the very least, he's stronger than her."

"Stronger because he has the Triforce of Power. Not his own strength." Luigi interjected.

Zelda got her second wind, "But the Triforce is bound to him. So it's technically his power always."

Samus nodded, "And how many people can claim to be the literal personification of someone's undying hatred?"

"Are they really debating this?" Peach asked.

"I think so, Peach. I think so." Bowser lamented.

Peach watched as the debate went on. Several others were getting in on the debate, and choosing sides. She sighed, and got up to head to the Rec Room. She wanted to play someone in Ping Pong.

Maybe Bowser would be a good opponent.

As if he were reading her thoughts, Bowser also rose from the table, and followed the Princess, intent on staying far from the debate.


"Okay, guys. 'Team Punch', versus 'Team sword', let's do this!"

Link, Cloud, Tifa and Yang were all playing Smash 4, intent on going for a few rounds. Link and Cloud selected their characters… Which were them, While Yang and Tifa were left using Shulk and Bayonetta respectively.

"Alright, ready girls?" Cloud taunted.

"One sec," Yang started scrolling through the costumes until she found the one she was looking for, "Aha. Shirtless Shulk. Always good to look at."

Cloud flinched at the pervy side of Yang, while Tifa simply grinned. Link just… Kept his neutral expression.

"Surprised you didn't take Bayonetta, Sunnie. Her hair is pretty damn awesome." Tifa smirked.

Yang had a proud expression on her face, "Not as awesome as my hair!" She pointed at herself.

Link was busy turning off the items when Bowser and Peach walked in, he waved and greeted them.

"Hey Link. Just planning to play Bowser in Ping Pong, you guys keep playing." Peach said cheerfully.

"Neat. Alright, we're all set." Cloud turned to the two girls, "Stage?"

"I'm fine with any random Omega. What about you, Sunnie?"

"Same deal here, T," Yang grinned, "I'm fine with any Omega stage."

"Sweet."

Link moved the cursor over the random button, and pressed the Y button, setting up to make the stage Omega. The stage was Final Destination.

"Wow. Omega Final Destination, huh?" Tifa smirked.

"I'm not making the reference, T. It's a dead joke, and I have standards to my humor."

Cloud raised an eyebrow as he started charging his limit energy, noticing that Yang had cycled to the speed art on her character, "Really? I recall you making some arm and hand puns a little while back."

"I don't do those anymore. They got out of hand after a while." The huntress smirked.

Tifa stifled a giggle as she managed to land Witch Time on Link, setting him up for a rather impressive combo from Yang's character.

Link rolled his eyes and Cloud groaned, "Ugh. That was so horrible, I think it disrupted my flow of the game." The AVALANCHE member muttered.

Tifa giggled a bit, "Maybe that's why Spider-Man does it so much to his enemies," She managed a sizable amount of damage on Link, "At least that's what I heard."

Cloud smiled, "Actually, I heard that he does it because he's scared shitless of his opponents." He smirked, knowing that Yang was a fan of the wall crawler.

"Spider-Man is a brave, and powerful hero! He might be afraid, but that doesn't stop him from going in and being a hero!" Yang argued.

"Oh dammit, not this again." Tifa lamented. Cloud was a Batman fan, and Yang was a Spidey fan. This was inevitable, and was the primary reason why Cloud didn't interact with Yang too often when she was crashing at Seventh Heaven. Link and Tifa's characters were both forced out of the game in a mutual KO.

How they both got KOd, neither of them could figure out. But Yang's character was at 47% damage, and Cloud was at 45%. Both at one stock.

But with this argument coming up, they weren't going to be getting back to the game anytime soon.

Link handed Tifa Yang's controller, and it was clear that he was holding Cloud's. It was clear that he was offering to continue while Yang and Cloud were having a… Motorcycle measuring contest.

Tifa nodded, and got back into the swing of things. It was a while since she played Shulk, and Link was likewise inexperienced with Cloud.

The two of them continued on until a victor was decided.

By sheer luck (or lack thereof) the issuing squabble knocked the controllers out of Tifa and Link's hands. They both dived towards them.

Tifa managed to get to her's first. She pressed the B button five times, and prepared an attack on Link's character.

Link's Cloud had just landed after using the recovery move, but Tifa used the counter and sent his character flying. Being at 134% damage, that was game, set, and match.

Peach and Bowser, on the other hand, were having a very civil and calm game of Ping Pong. For those of you wondering, the score was 5:3, Bowser's favor.

THWACK!

5:4, Bowser's favor.

The game continued on for half an hour, while Tifa and Link were trying to calm down Yang and Cloud respectively. It took a threat from Tifa never giving Yang a Strawberry Sunrise for an entire month to make her calm, While Link had to use his Clawshot to disarm Cloud and put him in a wrestling hold.

"Hey, where's Peach and Bowser?"

Link had no idea, and pointed to the door, suggesting that the two may have gone back to the dining room.

"Makes sense, Why'd they come here anyways?" Cloud asked, finally calm.

Tifa shrugged, "I think it was because they wanted to play Ping Pong for some reason."

"Makes sense to me." Yang replied.


"Are they still at it?" Peach asked, half impressed at the other contestants' stamina, and half irritated as to how freaking long this was going on.

The original four debaters even got some of the other fighters in as well.

"I'm only on this side because Layman is thinking Ganon." Wade replied as he walked past Peach to get his chimichangas, "Wanna watch the debate go on?" He offered the princess and turtle-dragon one of his Mexican treats before pulling back, reaching into his pocket, and pulling out a bag of popcorn instead.

The princess waved it aside, and decided to get a cupcake from the desert line, while Bowser got himself a Pizza that had pterodactyl tail on it, with some dino, and some lizard. He began picking off the mammal and worm toppings and placed them in the nearby compost bin. Just because he regularly pilfers princesses, doesn't mean he isn't environmentally conscious. He also got some hot peppers, and sprinkled them onto his pizza.

Meeting back up with Peach and Wade, he sat down and watched the debate continue.

"Ganon's vulnerability to holy weapons is inconsistent! He's been harmed by other swords before! Like the Biggoron sword!"

"I never said it was his only weakness, I only said that it's more effective on him than other weapons! And since when does Dennis Hopper over there carry those kinds of weapons?"

"He DOESN'T, but he certainly has more durability than Ganon-dork! How many battles has he survived with Link? Uhh, let's see- ZERO! Bowser, on the other hand has survived EVERY SINGLE encounter with the brothers since his creation!"

Wade turned to where one would put a camera to record a sitcom, "We, may be a while folks. But, point is, is that the fight will be available to RT Sponsors on Monday, while everyone else can watch it on Wednesday, April sixth."


AN: WOW! This was a long chapter. It seems that when the fighters are debating the uh, fighters… The chapters seem to go on a bit longer.

Coming up next: Either a 'Congratulations on the win' cake, or a 'You fought good, sorry you didn't win' cake. I could go either way really.

I'm thinking of doing a Q&A via Deadpool, what do you guys think?

Well, I-

I'm not asking you. You owe me for all the trouble you've caused The Layman.

Fine…

Good, now-
