Even if he had somehow leapt further the last time, in the air, his trajectory was still fixed. In the air, he was a sitting duck. Or a leaping LCD image. She would intercept.

Her staff charged with power, timed so that it would be released at the right time to intercept the black shadow. Together, staff and bearer rose into the air to collide with Mr Game & Watch. But he wasn't as predictable as she had thought, for a moment after she collided with him, she was smacked in the chest by a mass of black goop. Though it appeared to move as liquid, the substance felt more like a paving slab smacking against her. As she fell, the words rung in her ears. Two turns left...

Her mind raced as she fell to the ground hard, pushed by the 'oil'. At least it disappeared after it hit the ground; she wouldn't have to spend the rest of her day cleaning her fur. The mass may not have pinned her to the ground, but she was still winded, stuck on the ground, defenceless.

Two turns left, and she hadn't dominated him. The ref had said not to call others to fight with her? Would this count? It didn't matter, she wasn't in it for victory, but to teach this man some manners.

The sound of an engine was heard in the air above Life Sphere Central. From the sun came a bird of the clouds, its wings seeming to score the air as it made a run over the stadium. The ship, on autopilot turned around and made another pass, opening fire on Mr Game & Watch. Whilst that was its primary target, the strategy was more spary & pray. Shots exploded not only upon the field, but in the stands and against the commentary box itself.

Kursed's ship made an additional two more passes, the field being engulfed by its twin lasers. On the next it dropped a smart bomb upon Kursed, the ordinance being calibrated as so as not to damage her. It was in a way a massive shield of explosion. The Cloudrunner. Its white colour and ornate wings made it seem like an angel in the sky. But it was an angel of death, sent to bring divine judgement upon those unworthy of existence.

One more sweep of its twin lasers. From inside the still exploding bomb, over the rush of fire and death, a voice was barely audible.

"I will take this regular daily life and end everything with these hands. Is that really so bad?"

Whether it was the angered screams of Kursed, or merely the rush of death from above is still unknown to this day.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Once his bucket was emptied on his foe, Mr. Game & Watch nearly avoided the jab of the woman’s staff. Thanks to the use of his black goop he didn’t have to face the fate of being poked by that deadly weapon of hers. He pulled out a parachute that matched his likeness and his bug spray as well. He paused for a couple seconds so that he could laugh as his foe fell to the stadium floor. Afterwards, he began to pump his spray which gave off enough force to manipulate where he would land. He was mostly wasting time now as his victory seemed well assured and given that she fell flat on her back, it would take time for her to recover.

After gaining a fair amount of distance from the feminine fox, he let himself drop onto the ground putting away both the items he had out into the zone behind his back that seemed to filled with an endless amount of items. He raised his hands while flaunting them to the crowd to pump them up some more.

The sound of an engine roaring through the sky echoed all around the arena. It startled him briefly, but as soon as he turned to his opponent he was quick to figure out what was going on. Given that she had a look that was unique to those from the Lylat system, it was simple to figure out what was going to happen next.

Finally, the star ship soared over the stadium spray a barrage of laser like bullet that was no doubt raining over the crowd as well. The first wave of fire didn’t hit its mark, but it was no doubt going to be slightly more precise the next time around.

G&W was not going to allow the crazed canine to get the satisfaction.

The flat-man began to morph and reshape his own body. His arms slit in two and as did his legs creating the basis of his new form. He began to grow larger and larger while his features changed in a way that mimicked the appearance of a giant octopus.

As a final retaliation, G&W levitated his leviathan body over to where the tiny blue shaded fox was and began to slam its tentacles against the ground where she stood. It launched three lashes at his foe before the smart bomb landed and exploded in the face of the mighty octopus. As regular G&W that sort of blow would have devastated his figure, but in octopus form it did a bit less. It was enough to knock the beast back a couple feet, but not enough to finish the giant sea dweller off.

He swung one mighty tentacle towards the rightward direction for good measure, but given his distance away he couldn’t do much else. With that, his end of the fight was over.

[WolfEx]

The stadium rumbled with excitement as Game & Watch displayed a glorious finale of unique standards as he morphed into a giant octopus and unleashed fury upon his foe. But his foe was putting up a display of her own honing her starcraft to hit precisely against Game & Watch and aim to bring him down. Both were using their ultimate attacks on eachother nearly destroying the arena shaking and quaking the area with gigantic explosions and thumps.

"WOW! WOW WOW WOW! I feel like we should be hiding and taking cover somewhere! What a showing from both sides!"


"The tenacity of each attack, so destructive, so focused, so...terrifying! HOLD ME TOAD! PROTECT ME!"

Toadette jumps onto Toad's lap as his face goes red in shyness.


"Uh....I think we'll be ok up here in the sky box."



"But now I'm comfy and don't wanna leave!"


"For the last time let's focus on what's going on! The battle is about to end, but both are rigorously staying in the fight with fierce strength. They are a perfect example of equal power."


Toad pushes Toadette off his lap and leans towards the glass of his window to better appreciate what was happening below. All he could see was destruction and pain from both ends completely tearing eachother apart. It was a dance of torture and plight for one another, a murderous tango in a public array of aggression. Soon the dance would end, soon peace would ensue the arena once more.

She had lost. No matter what the judge said after the bell had rang, she had not brought humility to the arrogant one.

Death rained from above. She stood up as explosions erupted around her. Screams from panicked Toads, Octoroks, Zebesians and who else knows what in the audience filled the air. She didn't care. She didn't care about a single thing. Nothing in this wretched world mattered. If it was destroyed, so be it. She would willingly detonate the planet without anybody escaping, given half the chance.

Of course, her foe wasn't done yet. He never was. He was arrogant, a fool. Someone who had to be taken down. His transformation did not impress her. She had fought tentacles before. Spinning her staff, Kursed easily deflected each strike he attempted to make, all the while steadily advancing upon him.

"You will see my pain. The hurt of the scorns of a million people. May you rot like their souls have. May you die alone, you wretched fool. Darkness will cloud your path, the pain of fire shall consume you. You shall eat, but never be satisfied. You shall drink, but always be thirsty."

Kursed had reached him. A single leap landed her astride of his face, her staff pointed at his eyes.

"May this curse befall you."

Her weapon fell, stabbing each optical of her foe. She was relentless, a demon fox possessed. In the haze from the heat of the Cloudrunner's blasts, one audience member reported it appearing as if she had nine tails. She was still not done. Mr Game & Watch would find him assaulted from two angles. The lasers searing his aquatic skin, her staff thrusts perforating it.

"All of you ungrateful peoples, who took everything away from me, will feel my loss, and despair."

The bomb fell, yet she continued on her strikes, invisible in the explosion.

"I will take this regular daily life and end everything with these hands. Is that really so bad?"

This was no sport to her. This was life itself. Though she would cease fighting when ordered, the battle was not over.

[WolfEx]

The referee quickly leaped over the barricade before the battle got any worse and waved his white flag signalling the battle's end. He screamed out at the Stadium Staff near the sky box it seemed and waves his flag high as well as his body in a jumping motion to get their attention.

"ACTIVATE THE DEFENSES! IT'S CHAOS DOWN HERE!"

A line of magical Koopas along with Kamek herself began channeling magical energy and focused their power on the battle field. A big flash of light encompassed the entire stadium as the crowd sat amazed and after the flash every attack was nullified and the combatants were stopped. Game & Watch was now back to his normal self and Kursed all the sudden couldn't find herself having the strength to attack any longer. The referee wiped some sweat from his brow and let out a sigh of relief. Kamek and the other magical Koopas returned to their areas. Everything was neutral and calm in the stadium again. And all the damage that was caused seemed to have been reversed back to an original state.

"I see you two got a bit...carried away but no matter. Based on the battle speculations, the method and technique of attacks, damage done to one another, and the focus of your powers...we have a winner...."

The audience was on the edge of their seats in a shock. Hearts racing. Eyes glued to the stadium. Half of them began chanting Kursed, while the other half was chanting Game & Watch. It was a mix of both with the party getting equal chants. Toad and Toadette were biting their nails at the sight of them.

"Your winner...by way of extreme pain....is none other....than BOTH of you!"

The crowd let out a giant gasp blown away by the result. But it seemed to make sense as both parties did an equal amount of damage to one another and knew how to fight, and fight well. They came, they saw, and they BROUGHT it.

"That's right folks. You've seen the destructive power of these two...PSYCHOS. And I don't wanna see anymore! I just want em both the hell out of my arena. So...congratulations. Kamek will bless both of you with one added attack. Use it wisely."

Kamek descends into the battlefield on her magical broom and lands between the two of them. She takes out her wand, waves it in the air, and says an enchantment.

"Bibbidy...Boppidy...Berserk!"

A strange blast of magic touches both of them from her staff enchanting them with the wisdom and knowledge of a brand new form of attack. She graciously bows to the two of them afterwards, and flies away into the sky. The referee raises both their hands in the air with a grumpy look on his face as the crowd is once again on their feet but this time cheering for both competitors.

"YOUR WINNERS!"

Toad and Toadette seem confused, but also happy that the right call was made. This was certainly a one of a kind match they got to commentate and they loved being a part of it.

"What an amazing match! Impressive showing from both these fighters and I was honored to be part of such a memorable event."


"I'm kinda bummed Kursed didn't win, but darn...that was one for the record books!"

Toad realizes time is almost up for them on the speaker so he finishes up with Toadette.


"Thanks to all who came and watched this awesome battle, and I hope to cya all again real soon!"



"Don't be a stranger everybody, and when the chips are down...just remember...to JOIN THE FRAY!"

Toadette glomps Toad all the sudden in a playful surprise hug as Toad's face reddens and he smiles semi-affectionately. The two then take off their headsets and hop along outside the Sky Box and back to their homes.

The referee walks up to the two of them as the crowd begins leaving the stadium in a hustle and bustle and sends his regards.

"You two put on a great showing today, you should be proud of yourselves. Now's the chance to talk to eachother for any post show comments. I'll leave you two to be mature about it, otherwise you may just leave and go your separate ways. I have a date with a hot tub. Cya!"

And with that last comment, the referee scuttles off and out of the arena leaving the two combatants to say whatever they wish to eachother until they leave on their own accord.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Even if Kursed hadn’t been pulled away before she stabbed Game & Watch in the eyes, it wouldn’t have affected him nearly as much as the blue fox was expecting it to. The ‘eyes’ on his octopus form were merely for show, nothing more nothing less. Considering that G&W’s regular form had no eyes either it would be a very safe assumption to speculate.

Speaking of his regular form, with the match being over the two were separated by the means of Kamek’s magic and while he was being pulled away from his foe he slowly reverted by to the blocky man he once was. He landed gently on his feet and crossed his arms waiting for the verdict of who was the victor. With the announcement of their fight being a draw, G&W pulled out his chair and threw it against the ground in anger. A tie was worse than losing.

With G&W’s new found foul mood, he leaned his head back looking into the sky with his arms folded tightly around his chest waiting for the event to be finally over with. A tie what an outrage, G&W clearly outperformed the female. Well, that was what G&W thought anyway, but then again no matter how well Kursed fought he would still be hard pressed to believe the same way.

Game & Watch loosened his arm so that the referee could raise it into the air and let the magical koopa enchant him with a spell. Once the crowd left the stadium followed by the strange ref, Game & Watch was left alone with his competitor on the stage. He threw his hand at her then quickly turned around and began to waddle away displaying his uncaring toward his opponent.

[Deleted]

So...this is how it was. It was amazing how strong the defenses upon the stadium were. Kursed immediately found herself weakened as most of her 'handiwork' was undone. If only such power was put to a more practical use, than just the coliseum. Panem et circenses. People were such scum.

No love was lost between her  and her opponent. It may have officially been a draw, but her mission had failed. She doubted he had learnt humility. It was of no consequence to her that he had offered her his hand. She would not have taken it anyway.

She did give him one thing, a set of orders. A declaration. A threat. For as he left, he would have heard the following words.

"You better clean up. If I see any more of your posters, it shall not be in the arena that you will face me again. I shall be in the shadows, a shape in the corner of your eye. You will beg for death at every moment of your life."

She herself, left.
