[Mr. Game & Watch]

Mr. Game & Watch stepped into the large circular ring that was within the arena with his hands clasped together as he swung his combined fist over his head trying to getting the large crowds attention. Not too many people showed up to fight him, but at least a lot of people showed up to watch him fight someone. He had his back turned to his opponent since the bell hasn`t wrung yet and the match hadn`t started. He faced the crowd that was behind him taking in a mixture of boos and cheers for him.

The crowd`s mixed reaction to him was because he did play a leading role in saving the Life Sphere when the infected attack not too long ago, but he also displayed himself as a blatant racist on the poster he hung around all over town. He enjoyed the reaction since it balanced out the negativity and positivity quite well.

He quickly turned around to look at his opponent with an overwhelming amount of confidence that he was going to be the victor, however, his arrogance may cause him to underestimate his mammalian challenger. Mr. G&W pulled out his bell and dangled it out in front of him creating a loud beep that sounded like a broken alarm clock.

And from her corner dropped Kursed, stood there, staff drawn, ready for battle. The cheers and boos of the crowds reached her ears.

"Fickle creatures," she said quietly to herself. "I saved your sorry, pathetic existences on multiple occasions, and you still call me traitor."

It was doubtful that any of the audience recognised her. Her former lover hadn't recognised her. Krystal was dead. All that remained was a cursed husk.

The insolent one was stood at the other end of the field, appealing to the crowd. She did not need the crowd. She did not want the crowd. She wanted this to be over and be rid of one more pest. 

"Stop grandstanding, and start fighting. I have more important things to be doing."

That was a lie. She didn't have anything else to be doing at this moment. But the flat humanoid was an insignificant existence. One that would swiftly be disciplined.

A broad shouldered figure with a tough demeanor walks into the stadium from the back entrance. There are dozens of spectators pouring in to watch the fight now filled with mixed feelings of excitement, joy, envy, and worry. Many of them start making noise and the sound level builds to cheers and wooing. The figure walks closer to the combatants now and stands between them. He is the official referee of the battle.

"Alright everyone, you may both know me from helping call matches for Little Mac and others, but soon, you will know me for much more! Fairness, ambition, encouragement, balance, and support. You will also...HEY!"

The referee looks at both of them in the eyes. Unfortunately he was...extremely short. Barely the same size of Game & Watch. He accused them of staring at him wrongly.

"WHAT'S WITH THE EVIL EYES!?! I KNOW I AM SHORT BUT COME ON!"

He grunts and pulls out a red flag meaning to initiate battle. He prepares to wave it.

"Now...the fight needs to be clean. No killing, no cheating, and no calling on others to come and help you. It's a solo battle of wits and a competition of strength. Do not test me. Before I wave this flag, any questions?"

The referee looked at both of them in wonder, hoping he could see a sign of fair competition and friendliness in their eyes.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The girl was angst filled for sure; her bitter aura took over the entire stage the minute she stepped on it. Good, Game & Watch preferred his opponents that way, since he can bring out their rage much easier. He was eager to begin the battle since he wanted to take his already impressive fighting skills and combine it with what he learned from the Bounty Hunter Training Manual he picked up earlier this week. Hopefully he could remember what he learned off the top of his head because he already sold off the book to some guy in the black market.

Suddenly a another man entered the arena looking to about the same size range as G&W. He came to the center of the ring, which probably meant he was the referee of this event. He proclaimed that someone was giving him a bad look, but G&W didn`t have visible eyes so he probably couldn`t determine what facial gestures G&W was making.

The man asked if anyone had any questions and G&W shook his head indicating he didn`t. When the red flag went up, he pulled out his frying pan to ready himself for combat. It would be completely fair since the woman already had her staff out. He pulled out his other fist so that he could give the ref a thumbs up letting him know he was ready.

[Deleted]

She faced her foe. Waiting. Waiting for the word "go". Awaiting for the duel to start. The referee spoke of rules. What did he think this was? Sport? No, this was retribution. Retribution for his arrogance, his insolence, and for desecrating her house. Her goal was not to win, but to humiliate. To humble the fool that stood before her, to teach him not to bother her. The judge would find no sign of fair competition, no friendliness in her cold, dead eyes.

One part did confuse her. Sure, the referee was short, but her eyes were locked on Game & Watch. Her foe didn't appear to have any eyes. Perhaps the ref had a complex?  If so, that did not bode well for his impartiality. Not that it mattered. What really mattered was how her opponent felt after the duel was through.

Not moving her gaze away from her opponent she shook her head. Kursed had no questions. She needed no clarification. She needed to start. Three words passed her lips. "I am ready!" 

So, her opponent was using a frying pan? She would give him something to cook with. It was time to collect her bounty.

[WolfEx]

The referee looked the opponents over once more, studied the focus and determination in their eyes, saw the intensity within their body language. If he didn't get this going soon, they'd trample him to dust.

"AND...BEGIN!!!"

Instant cheers broke out in unison, high levels of energy were being tossed from the crowd pumping up the combatants for an epic fight. He waved the flag signalling battle, and ran for the seats jumping over the gigantic wall of the stadium in a hurried climb taking cover for what was about to begin.

As the battle started a few toads jumped up into the broadcasting booth just above crowd level in a sky box and put on some headsets. It appeared they were the commentators for this battle.

"Hello everyone, my name is Toad! And I'm here to give you all the best calls of this fight! Let's GO!"

"And I...am Toadette! I'll be your beautiful and absolutely ADORABLE co-commentator who is slightly better at it than Toad is."

"HEY! That isn't funny Toadette!"

"Teehee. Woops. Let's get things underway!"

And with that, the floor was now the combatants to do with what they may.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The second after the referee signaled them to start, Mr. Game & Watch began to shake his frying pan in an up and down motion. The bits of bacon that flew out of G&W’s pan seemed to have an endless source and materialized inside the pan. The path of the destructive food was an arch that flew over the ref as he fled for safety and landed in the vicinity of his enemy. He threw as much as he could at the female fox making it seem like she had a storm of bacon rain over her head.

Once he was done with his frying pan, he returned it to where ever it was his object went before and after they are used and pulled out his Bug Spray weapon. He retreated to the right side of the ring so that he would bring himself closer to his opponent, but keep it so that there was still distance in between them. He preferred this tactic because it would mean that she would have to approach him giving him the defensive advantage and even if she were to use a ranged move he would still have an answer to that.

He prepared a stance to ready himself for his attacker’s next move. No doubt she was going to take the aggressor’s role based on how she acted. He kept his one hand on the body of his weapon and the other on the pump ready for use for when he needed it.

[Deleted]

"Begin!" The word echoed through the air. And she did begin. Her staff was already aimed in his direction, as bolts of fire flew towards the 2D one. Not all were aimed directly at him, most being fired in his general direction. Predictability was easy to dodge after all.

But he had launched his own assault, the air becoming thick with black particles. Their high arc and little semblance of weight led Kursed to believe that they were just a distraction tactic, one she didn't fall for. Oh how she regretted it as the first black particle exploded upon her flesh. It wasn't a very powerful strike, but it stung, causing her to flinch. A few more rained upon her before she regained her senses and was able to roll out of the way.

Her opponent had also moved, backed up at the edge of the stage, with little manoeuvring room. He was a mouse, and she was the cat. The blue vixen approached her pray, a stream of ice blazing from her staff, sweeping the ground in front of her as she approached, ready to block any sign of escape her opponent made.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Before the woman had began her charge at Game & Watch, he looked back at the area he had begun at noticing that the female had flung fireballs at him before he ran over to his new position. Luckily he decided this tactic because he didn’t even notice the fireballs before now, although it would have been nice to get some of the projectiles into his bucket.

Watching the succession of his barrage from the angle he was at was an enjoyable experience. The black bits of bacon smacking against his unknowing enemy as she tried to escape after realizing they hurt by the touch. It seemed that many he had faced against couldn’t realize that his bacon was lethal until it was way too late. He supposed that gave him an edge against enemies that knew little about him.

Anyways, Mr. Game & Watch was a bit caught up in thought so he didn’t notice Kursed’s initial charge until she was already fairly close to him. He tightened his grip on his Bug Spray weapon. There was a strange blast of cool air leading her charge, which meant nothing good for G&W. He could retreat back to his starting position, but the fireballs wouldn’t have passed by just yet, so the best course of action would probably be to leap over his opponent. Though, that was easier said than done.

Game & Watch charged toward his opponent as if he was responding to her. He waddled as quickly as he could until the two were only a couple meters apart and he sprang off the ground while firing off his weapon. He flipped over the head of his opponent continuing to blast the toxic air out of the item he had. He didn’t expect the weapon to actually be close enough to land a hit, but if it did that wouldn’t be all that bad. His feet landed firmly on the ground and as they did he could feel a sharp pain in them. He glanced at his legs for a brief moment to see that he had small chips of ice on his legs meaning he wasn’t quick enough to avoid the female’s attack. He had endured much worse in his lifetime, but the pain wasn’t easy to shrug off either.

[WolfEx]

Toad and Toadette were very much so expressing interest in the battle. They loved the timing of each foe's attack. Both parties were giving a balanced battle, no one stronger than the other yet. Toadette chuckled enjoying the bout.


"WOW! We see equal hits from both parties! That bacon must be REALLY hot!"

"Haha...well I don't know if it's the bacon that's hot. I think it's just me!"

"Focus Toadette!"

"Well in any event, Game and Dude over there better keep an eye on his legs, Kursed was clever with that ice attack!"

The crowds were fully enthralled by the elegance of both combatants. They could see the focus and the versatility on both sides were the same. They both wanted victory pretty badly, and this was going to be one heated fight! Cheers erupted, craving more!

[Deleted]

In the air, your manoeuvrability is much less. Your movements are predictable. You are practically a sitting duck. The same was true of Mr Game & Watch, for as he leapt, Kursed turned her staff upwards, exposing him to the cold stream of ice, a stream longer than the range of his puny puffs of gas.

She lost the stream as his shadow passed over him. Given the initial distance from which his two dimensions leapt, he couldn't have landed far from Kursed. She swept her staff low in a clockwise half-turn, facing behind her, moving to make a short hop and slam her staff into his thin frame.

A wicked grin flashed across her face. It was her calling card, designed to haunt the dreams of those that saw it, though most victims of her gaze didn't have long lifespans afterwards. She was hungry, hungry like Wolf O'Donnell

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Mr. Game & Watch has very impressive jumping skills as he can jump high and far since he weighs very little in mass. That being said he was able to land a couple of feet behind her making him too far away for her spinning attack to hit him.

His legs took the brunt of the female’s freezing attack making his legs very stiff and not nearly as manoeuvrable as they were at the beginning of the brawl. Shards of ice decorated his shins and he couldn’t swipe them off just yet since his attention had to be fully on his opponent otherwise this match would turn horribly out of his favour.

Once the woman knew where her enemy was, she twisted around swiping her staff into anyone who might have been in the immediate area. Luckily for G&W he wasn’t in that vicinity. He kept his weapon out despite its earlier failure because he knew that the woman would do more than just that. When she hopped toward him he stuck his Bug Spray out as a means to defend himself from the staff when she attempted to slam it against him. The two blunt weapons would no doubt clash.

Since they were at odds with each other, G&W decided to test out a new ability that he learned recently. He took one hand off his weapon and grabbed at the ground below his enemy. A circle of black formed around the floor the woman was standing on. G&W flipped it, which could either unbalance his foe or cause her to fall backwards. G&W didn’t know what it did just yet and it was entirely possible that she could dodge the attack.

[Deleted]

He had flown further than she had expected, so her initial strike had missed. But her target was not there. Her slam was blocked by his spray. Despite her greater mass, and momentum from her slam, she was unable to break through his block. He had impressive strength for one where there was such little there. They were face to face. A drip of sweat rolled down her face, splashing the arena floor below them.

For some reason her opponent attempted to grab the floor. He never made it. They were close together, and Kursed saw his quick movements. A few low blows would interrupt his move. A quick kick to the head would give them some distance. Following up with a volley of fire would add to his damage counter, a volley she would fire whilst steadily retreating.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Unfortunately for Game & Watch his canine opponent was quick to pick up on his move and stopped him from pulling the ground from under her. Quickly afterwards she made an attempt to kick him straight in the face, but since G&W already had his Bug Spray in a defensive position he could easily place it in the path of his foe’s kick. Given the amount of unstable force that was given to his Spray and his lack of stance this time he became unstable and let the Fox lady freely retreat.

Once G&W fully regained his balance, which was fairly quick, he noticed the present the woman left behind before she fled. A barrage of fire balls were heading quickly towards him, leaving him with little time to think. Though, being the experienced fighter that he was he pulled out his bucket as if it were instinctive. The opened square box caught a majority of the flame projectiles instantly turning them into a mysterious black goop. One stray fireball landed in between his legs burning his legs slightly before he jumped out of harm’s way. It stung him, but it at least melted the ice shards on his legs allowing free movement once more.

He wasn’t going to let his enemy flee the battle just yet there was still another minute or so. He chased after his enemy and leaped into the air for the second time since his running was slower than his leaping speed. Once becoming airborne he released his bucket’s contents over the head of his foe. The black goop spread far as it fell, no doubt blackening the sky from his opponent’s perspective.

[WolfEx]

Toadette eyes the damage done by each opponent and starts seeing some seriously tuckered and wounded fighters down there. A flash of worry fills her face but quickly goes back to an intent driven demeanor. Toad watches eagerly still amazed by the balance between the fighters.

"I am being told by our fight crew that the battle's limit is almost up! Game & Watch has one more turn in this bout and then he has to end his fighting. Kursed, however, has two whole turns left!"

"That's insanity! It feels like we just got started! But rules are rules! Let's see what kind of game that Mr. Watch can bring to try and finish her off, if he even can. This will be one of the all time greater battles Li has ever seen!"


"The keys to victory I think will be in Kursed's favor. She has two turns left, let's see what she has planned for the pixel pest! Girl power!"


"That is blatant stereotyping!"



"And just what are YOU going to do about it?"


"Uh...well...let's just get back to the fight."


Both combatants are reaching their limit now. The cheering has dulled and a sharp silence has enriched the arena. You couldn't even hear the sound of a pen drop. There was just breathing of interested bystanders and widened eyes as well as the different sounds and expressions of the fighters. The air was thick with competition, it wasn't long now until the battle was over.
