[Mr. Game & Watch]

Zero’s robotic brethren gasped at the sight of Banjo displaying his black magic. The other half of the crowd cheered him on spouting things like ‘Go get’em Banjo!’ like they were excited to see their hometown team score a home run. The booms and claps of the audience was hardly something any sane person could tolerate audibly. Even Surge hopped out of his chair, his hulking body waiting for the action and his teeth at the tension that threatened dental work.

“WHOA! Banjo has this one in the bag! Poor Zero, he’s gotta deal with an angry tag team without any chance of hurting them!”

“I taught them that, Eekumbokum”

“Oh, so now you talk”

“Wow, zing, zam! I don’t even have words to describe this! The odds may be out of Zero’s favour, but we still got us a match and he still has a chance to take it all”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The Maverick hunter began using evasive action, his eyes still glinting with unmistakable and unfathomable proficiency, dodging the oncoming attack with the natural grace of a gymnast by hurtling over the oncoming fuzzy feathered cannonball that was Banjo and Kazooie.  "Pity that magic don't come with the natural speed that graces the Blue Blur, that way you'd be able to make an about face to attack me before I even landed."  Zero said as he landed on the opposite end of the arena, withdrawing his Z-Saber so as to defend himself if banjo launched another cannonball combo like that again.

Even if the duo could beat Zero, it wouldn't be enough to break his pride, at least he had been humbled by them through the wound that they inflicted on him and this proved to be the only thing that they ever managed to do, their teamwork and bond were similar to the teamwork and bond that He, X, and Axl had forged when it came to hunting their own kind, but this was messed up, they thought him a common thug, a punk that believed that his brand of justice was the right way, and that his ideology was incorrect.  That had been naging zero even after he had brought down Lumine with help from his partners.

This wasn't a fight of pride, he wanted to keep his honor and would be prepared to die fighting to keep his honor from being tarnished in this battle, just as he always did when going up against foes such as Sigma.

"You COWARD! You know, you talk too much. You want speed? I'll give you speed."  Banjo and Kazooie figured out that Zero would go on the evasive the moment their magic has surfaced, and they still had a final turn with the magic still in tact to shake the foundation of Zero's every core. The wound they inflicted was not enough to get their message across. They devised a new form of attack that was all tactic and intellect. Banjo once more grabbed Kazooie's body which was now surrounded by sharp and pointy feathers; however this did not hurt Banjo in any way, and used the bird like a sword. He aimed to hit another beak Buster but this time Banjo was going to be clever. The bear let out a roar and began spinning his body around whipping Kazooie like a mace. And then with a unique spin on his attack, he chucked Kazooie straight for Zero's vulnerable armor doing an airborne Beak Buster in which the bird's attack would hone in on Zero with the bird still glowing bright and it feathers still fluffed out. Banjo was no longer protected by the glow since they separated but Kazooie still had the power, and she was honing straight for Zero no matter which way he dodged, it was like a homing rocket at top speed.

Afterwards, not sure what Zero would do next, Banjo activated his bubble shield to cover his now vulnerable body in case Zero were to use his ultimate attack and in case Kazooie didn't finish the job with the last resort move. And if Kazooie did somehow miss, she would be able to fly away fast enough after recovering to shield her own self from Zero's next attack since she had complete control over her own body. Although Banjo and the bird were bonded somehow, they could still manage their own tricks and thoughts on their own when they had to. This was going to be their final blow, it had to hit, they were counting on it. Out of options, and out of any other creative ideas, all Banjo could do was shield himself from Zero's next outburst and all Kazooie could do after her swift attack, was to fly away to avoid getting hit by Zero's ultimate attack again. With her eyes peeled and her senses sharpened, she was ready to do what she had to if she failed, and that was to do everything she could to stay alive for her buddy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Zero had seen many tricks, but none like what Banjo did; he saw Kazooie coming at him like a heat-seeking missile, and saw Banjo put up a Bubble shield, Zero reacted by puting up his own Bubble Shield.

but most unfortunately, it wasn't enough, Kazooie had not only pierced the shield, but the force of the blow had completely dismantled Zero's left arm from his body, and causing Kazooies beak to be lodged firmly into the arena wall right behind Zero. "AGH!" Zero cried out as as he clutched the section of his body as he fell to one knee. The section of the stands that had all of the various humanoid robots gasped, even the Repliforce General and all of Wily's Robot Masters were shocked, the moment Zero let go of the section of his body where his left arm was located, there was only an empty socket, the joint in his left arm was visible, and it looked as though it could still be attached, in which zero merely grabed it and did just that, though it was still in danger of falling out again, in which case Zero held his arm to keep it from falling out.

"I hope you realise that I will never be beaten by second-rate parlor tricks." Zero said, his eyes boring into Banjo's with a fervor that the bear would never be able to contemplate. Zero did not move from his spot as he had already used up his last turn in defending against an attack.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

A timer next to Surge’s seat rung out loud as Zero finished his last words. The lightning American dashed over to the device and slammed it until it fell silent. “Match over! Electrivire, Raichu, you know what to do!” he commanded loudly as he too activated his bubble shield. His though was specially equipped to resist his pokemon’s electric based attacks for logical reasons. His orders echoed toward his pokemon that surrounded the ring and as they connected with their ears, they readied themselves for combat. The two unleashed a Thunder Wave that encompassed the entire matted battlefield. Anyone knowledgeable with pokemon knew that Thunder Wave caused instant paralysis. With the two frozen in place, Surge entered the ring once more.

The master of lightning types’ Magnezone hovered over his head once more and dropped off a microphone for him and he caught it nonchalantly. “Alright Life Sphere, this has been a good match. All toddlers learn to walk and it seems these two learned to fight, but I’ve got your results. The winner of this battle is… Banjo and Kazooie!” he announced as he paced himself over to the winning pair. He pulled out a full restore from his camo pants and sprayed a good portion of it on the two of them which instantly rejuvenated them. From his other pocket, he grabbed a lightning badge and tossed it at the bear and bird combo. “You got chops, kid. Come by my gym anytime and maybe you’ll learn something new” he spoke with a simple smirk. “As for now, I got places to be” he continued as he pulled an iron out of his pants and held it to the air. His Magnezone circled back around and picked him up by the metal with its magnets. The two of them flew off. As for Zero, Surge’s Raichu rushed to his aid and applied the same medication to him and scurried off once its task was finished.

The crowd was uproarious, chanting Banjo’s name from an unbelievable victory. Their excitement was short lived though, it lasted for a good minute or two before dying down as the citizens had to return to their daily duties around the Life Sphere. It was a glorious few minutes though.

“WHOA! I didn’t see that coming! The master maverick hunter lost? Congrats to the both of ‘em for being good sports!”

“… I’m going to be in debt for a while, I thought this match was going to be a no brainer.”

“Oh, Big Top, look on the bright side!”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Zero stood up and turned to leave the arena, just as he left through the doors, he turned his head to glance at the pair. "Be lucky that you won today, but do not let it go to your head. This is only the begining for your journey, and I'd like to see how you match wits with my master." Were Zero's only words as he left the arena through the doors leading out.

The Reploid had been humbled only once in his life, but this was back in his world when sigma fought him, now Banjo and Kazooie had humbled him, though this was only out of retaliation to Zero mortally wounding the pair when he was fighting Waluigi.

Banjo's shield fades away and he nearly collapses to the ground from the over-extension of his abilities. He falls to his knees and eyes his buddy Kazooie stuck in the arena wall after her attack. The bird flaps its wings gesturing for help. Banjo giggles nearly teary eyed happy it was over, it was finally over. They had won. Maybe they weren't so weak after all, maybe they had more to their abilities than they thought. Banjo scuffles over to Kazooie in a limp nearly toppling to the ground as his legs ached from the fight. He wraps his big bear paws around the bird's feet and yanks several times before Kazooie is sent flying out of the cracked wall and sent into the air where she maintains her balance and lands gracefully to the ground. Banjo leaps at her in a big hug tears finally shedding down his cheeks. "Oh Kazooie! You're alive. We're alive! We did it pal, we did it." He lets the moment sink in for a minute embracing her until the bird speaks up. "Come on now buddy, I never doubted us for a second! Stop your sobbin Banjo, we got ourselves a new attack that we can use now! I am so glad we got permission to start utilizing it. Let's use it right now." The ever eager bird surprised Banjo. He liked her zestfulness even in tender moments like the present.

Banjo laughs and figures now was the best time to give it a shot. "Well alright! Here it goes nothin." Banjo reaches into his bag and takes out a small remote controller. He presses the only button on it which was big and red with an antennae stickin out. The remote looked like, for the most part, that it was made of leftover parts. The moment he pressed it with his furry finger the sound of an engine roaring filled the arena and a vehicle started swerving towards the duo. It looked like a Go-Kart except slightly bigger and shimmering with fancy equipment. "I am so glad we can use this now, and even more glad I was able to fix it!" Kazooie celebrated hopping up and down not only for their victory but also for their long forgotten third friend, the Dirt Buggie. "This will be super useful in another battle!" The two jumped in the car with Banjo at the wheel, and drove off humming tunes of joy to themselves happy to be alive.
