Galaxy Ball

By Kristoffer Garrett

Within a galaxy far from any other, it is a place of immense ferocious competition. Fortred the ruler of the planet Quifeza, watches in dismay as his all star football team the Shreds are subjugated by the defending champions of a rival planet, known as the flame wolves. The score ends at 17 to 51, this game was his team’s preceding chance at the playoffs. So many things go through his mind, but the thing that upsets him at most is he put the entire planets currency on the line. In other words, he forfeited his entire planets reserves! He is approached by the coach of the wolves.

“Your team isn’t too appalling, but we could have detained them to only three. We wanted the fans to have somewhat of an enjoyable game, here at your home stadium. You have Eight month’s to get all of your planets fortunes, to Cosbo.” Phelm tells.

The two go their separate ways afterward, heading to their individual locker rooms. Players from the winning team get interviewed on the field. Fortfred gives a long agonizing speech to his players, before leaving the dome sooner than customary. He travels over to a large capital building, where the globe leaders congregate. He enters the room to see that everyone was already in anticipation of him.

“You don’t have to inform us Fortred, we saw the ending fallout. We just need to know why you thought it smart to put this planet’s future in jeopardy; you took a huge gamble and lost!!” One guy says.

“Do you think it smart to sacrifice this planet over a team game!! You’re out of your damn mentality!! Did you really think the Shreds had a chance against the champions?! Come to life Fortred, this planet has the seven worst teams out of the planets in this intact galaxy. Now what are we supposed to tell our people?!!! Our teams cannot compete with any of the top 15, and you put everything on the possibility of them beating the unsurpassed!

Over thirty different people sit at the long table, in opposition back and forth! Fortred finally shouts over them all, getting everyone’s awareness. He takes a seat at the end of the table.

“I know I messed up big time, but I think there is a way I can renovate this. It will have nothing to do with any teams of this galaxy. I want you all just to listen in and don’t ask any questions until I am entirely finished.”

The room is soundless as he speaks undoubtedly. There is not much of a choice, which leads them all to agree with his bail out arrangement.

Days later

One of the greatest heroes acknowledged by the people of the mushroom kingdom walks through the castle. He looks around at the many different photos, lost in his bottomless train of contemplation. This is short lived.

“Mario, Mario get down here!! I think we might have some turmoil!” Toad yells.

The Plumber runs down the many stairs, looking out of a window. His eyes broaden to see what seems to be an multitude of un known creatures.

“Reside at this juncture; I’m going out there to see what this is all regarding.”

Toad grabs Mario by his appendage, keeping him from departing.

“Do you think it is Peach they are here for?”

“I don’t know, and won’t find out just standing around. Just stay here; I’m not sure what there intentions are.”

Mario pulls his arm from Toads grasp exiting the front entrance. The plumber looks around, staggered at the magnitude of the colossal assemblage. He takes a few steps forward, as two of them draw near him. They stop in front of him. Mario shakes a bit uneasy.

“Don’t be fearful human, we come in serenity. In fact we need the aid of you and numerous others, so listen very carefully. Before I continue further I need something established. Are you the ingenious Mario?” The being asks.

Mario gulps bewildered and fascinated on how the individual knows his distinctiveness.

“Mamma Mia, how did you know that?! What are you creatures?”

“Your query will be answered in time, but for now we have incredibly significant information for you. We come from a planet called Quifeza, and currently right now our planet has suffered in many different ways. To get down to the point, our prime problem is the cash! We almost have none left, with that said our people will give out given the fact we won’t be able to trade with neighboring planets.”

The plumber looks up puzzled, wondering exactly why this information is being given to him. The piece about the trading with other planets confuses him even further.

“I don’t see how this is my predicament, I couldn’t help you even if I sought to. By the sounds of it, your planet has lost over trillions and trillions of dollars! Not even the Princess would be able to assist you. Can’t your neighboring planets, help you guy’s out?”

“That is not how things work out; the leaders of each planet don’t help unless they are getting something in return. We have nothing to furnish; we pretty much have nothing left. But there is still optimism.”

“I’m listening.”

“I’ll try and make this brief, but the planets in our galaxy are all for competition! Particularly sports, I’m sure you are familiar with the sport called football. Any way, this is the only chance we can make the massive bucks. Do you follow?”

“I’m just wondering where you’re going with this.”

“We need sixteen teams to be put together. Just so you are not enlightened, I am talking about the NFL style football. The citizens of our galaxy would pay large amounts to see teams compete with each other, from another world. That sport is most popular among most everyone in our galaxy.”

Mario jumps back putting his hands in front of him.

“Wow hold on a sec, I don’t play that form of football! Do you understand what you’re asking of me, it’s a unmitigated l waste of time? Go find someone else from your home planet, or some place else. The sport itself is terrific, but why have you come to me? My answer is no”

The alien life forms are quite for a little while before discourse.

“What if I told you we have spoken with Donkey Kong and Bowser, who have both arranged to take part? I believe you are associated in one way or another with the two of them.”

Mario crosses his arms while looking up at them. A small smile escapes his face.

“I guess you can count me in as well, but you need to explain to me further how everything is going to go. How exactly is sports going to get your planet back up, do you know how insane that sounds? And how am I supposed to confide in you beings?”

“Trust me Mario, it will work. I will tell you some of the small details you will need to be on familiar terms with. Since you have agreed to join, is there a precise position you’d like to play? I know you haven’t really taken on this sport, but each team will be given four month’s to prepare.”

“I would like to play Quarter back!” Mario says smiling.

“A stadium will also be built for each team; the team captain/Quarter back chooses where it will be built. Our experts can put them together within two weeks. Be sure to notify your brother about these proceedings. You will be able to put a team together once all participants are on our planet. We will be back in five hours, be sure to meet us in this exact spot.”

With those preceding words, a huge space ship shines its luminosity over the aliens. They are zapped into the ship. Mario turns away for one second, and the space shuttle is gone. Toad comes out of the castle, standing next to Mario. He is thinking hard again, trying to figure out how they knew who he was.

“So what is it they sought after?”

“I will explain to you, when Luigi returns with the princesses.”

Many dimensions away

A Lombax works on the vehicle of a civilian. A large quantity of energy forms in the firmament, as a huge space shuttle appears shooting a huge radiance down onto the grassy meadow. The alien creatures are now on a planet called Veldin. The aliens head over toward the Lombax that works on a automobile, near a edifice site.

“I take it that you are Ratchet?” One of them asks.

He steps from behind the vehicle, surprised to see these mysterious beings.

“Yes I am what is it that I can assist you with?”

“We would like you to join a huge sporting event. I hope you are familiar with football!”

Ratchet listens as he is given the information. He is a bit skeptical with the whole thing, but decides to join in an attempt to help them out. The aliens decide to split up into three different space ships to cover more ground quickly, leaving the planet afterwards. Another portal opens over an island, where an orange bandicoot snoozes under a tree. An additional Bandicoot lifts weights nearby. The bandicoot drops the pounds as the aliens approach.

“Are you Crash bandicoot?”

“No, that is him over there. Is there a message you’d like me to give him when he awakes?”

“I guess that make’s you Crunch, you will also work well for what we necessitate.”

He is given the proposition, and agrees to their offer. He speaks for Crash and himself. Worlds away in a hefty city, lasers are being shot back and forth. A wolf jumps up with two blasters in his hands, shooting at a Fox who shoots back at him. The Fox jumps behind a wall.

“What’s going on down there Fox? Do you need back up sent to you?”

“Don’t worry about me Krystal; I want you and Falco to battle the enemies off in the sky.” Fox replies through his communications mouth piece.

A portal forms in the sky, getting the attention of both Fox and Wolf. A light from the ship shines in front of them both. The aliens appear in a flash; both Fox and wolf aim their weapons at them.

“There is no need for that; we come with no impairment Fox McCloud and Wolf O’Donnell.”

Wolf is so astounded that he unintentionally drops one of his blasters. Fox puts his weapon down to the side.

“We seek your assistance, which includes you both. I have been doing this for a while now, so don’t ask any questions in anticipation of me finishing.”

The same information is given to them, just like the numerous others. Both Fox and Wolf stand in place speechless. That is until a chuckle escapes from Wolf.

“I don’t know who you take me for, do you seriously think I would devastate my schedule helping a dismal species like you?! What you have asked of me is merely for boy scouts, enough said.”

“Did I indicate there will be a lot of money involved, for teams with captivating records?”

“Who do you think I am, you just got done saying your planet doesn’t have much left. You seem like a hypocrite in all integrity.” Wolf replies.

“You don’t pay attention much do you; some of the money we get from the spectators will go toward your compensation. The people from the surrounding planet of ours will be the one’s attending your games. They will also be able to watch from their homes.”

Wolf crosses his arms while lively.

“I think I might be interested in this, how long do we have to make a resolution?”

“I need an answer right now.”

Both Corneria fighters are soundless as the moment itself becomes intense! Fox steps to the side, contacting one of his teammates. Not even a minute passes as Falco descends his vehicle onto the ground. He joins by Fox and Wolf. The leader of the star wolf team has called off the attack, enforcing his pilots to retreat.

“Can either of you tell me what this is all about, shouldn’t we be attacking Wolf and his crew Fox?! What, have the two of you decided to take a break?” Falco asks a bit perturbed.

“Quite down Lombardi, these creatures have a promising proposition for us all.” Wolf explains.

Falco stands in place as the information is given to him. His eyes narrow a bit at some of the things, which are said. Nevertheless, he does not back down from a challenge, he is the first out of the three to agree to their terms. Both Wolf and Fox agree to it as well.

“I guess we lost track of time, which will change things a little bit. I’m going to ask the three of you to come aboard our ship now.”

A laugh escapes Wolf.

“Do you actually think I am that irrational to do such a thing? I don’t think so.” Wolf replies.

“I understand that you are concerned of your wellbeing, but I can assure you that none of you will be harmed in any kind of way. We must take you all back to our home planet, which is where the draft will take place.”

“What is the draft?” Fox asks.

“It is what will be the method for putting all sixteen teams together.”

The three of them agree to their terms again, as long as they could carry their weapons aboard. Krystal as well as panther joins them before entering. They do not return to their home planet instantaneously, the alien life forms continue to travel the many different galaxies recruiting participants. This ends after a while. The many different chosen players enter the planet of Quifeza, on different spacecrafts. Tiny Tiger steps out of a ship, looking around to see what appears to be hundreds of different inhabitants. Dingodile stands right behind him, as the alien race leads the enormous group into a large dome of some sort. The many participants start conversation amongst each other. A familiar blue hedgehog stands within the crowd, among a group of his allies.

“I can’t believe how much this place is packed; wow this is getting me excited!” Sonic tells.

Knuckles just stands next to him, with his arms crossed.

“You don’t seem too excited. We must have lost Amy and tails in this large crowd.”

Knuckles does not reply, as someone steps onto a podium in front of the crowd. The person picks up a microphone, as everyone quiets down.

“I would like to take this instant to thank you all for coming, as you know our survival is in peril. I will not go through all of the details on how we got in this position, all you need to know is we need each and everyone’s help in this showground. This event will consist of 16 teams, with 16 regular season games. There will be four teams to a division.”

Everyone listens as the rules and regulations are explained.

“Before we begin the main event, I want to inform you all of a few things. There will be twenty cheer leaders to a team, and you cannot purposely commit fatal hits on the field or you will be fined. If you can all look around in this dome, we have set up one area for each position. Go to the area of the position you would like to do.”

Each individual heads over to the area of his or her interest. It takes over twenty minutes before everyone is completely finished. Sixteen alien beings step onto the stage on both sides of the announcer.

“Before we begin I would like to introduce myself, I am Fortred known as the leader of this world. I would like to introduce you all to Fred, Joe, Chris, Hec, Ken, Dan, Wiley, Mark, Jay, T.J, zelph, Carter, Ralph, Greg, Tim, and Frank. These will be the owner of each franchise. It will be a gamble for them all, as none of you are players of this sport. That is why there will be four months of training camp, once you are on a team. And just like any team sport, if you are not wanted, you will be traded. If there are no more questions, the draft will begin now.”

Galaxy Ball

Chp2: The draft





Someone approaches Fortred, whispering something in his ear. It seems to be something essential, which causes the man to shake his head multiple times. He clears his throat while putting the microphone up to his lips.

“All ladies within this dome can ignore what I am about to say, as there is only one role you can take part in. As far as the gentle men, the position that you currently stand in will not positively be the position you will play. Tryouts for each position will take place within training camp, after you have been selected to a team.” Fortred tells.

Everyone listens in silence as he continues to give them information.

“Before the draft begins, we would like to take about an hour to thirty minutes to see you all take part in some exercises. This way, it will give our team owners a better understanding of each and everyone’s physical endurance. That way they will have a less hard time choosing.”

The females are kept within the dome, as Fortred starts them up with running laps from the 10 yard line to the 30. He has them spread out on both sides of the field. Outside the premises, the males are escorted onto an enormous meadow. Once the group is put into different lines, a football is placed on the ground in front of each person who stands at the front of each line.

“I want you all to listen exceptionally vigilantly; the first exercise we will be performing is to see just how far each of you can throw a football. We will also be looking at your posture and style, so please do put forth effort. I don’t want any of you throwing a ball until your name is called, we will begin shortly.”

As he continues to speak, another group of men get the names of each person in the lines. It doesn’t take much longer as the event begins. A large machine is set on the field, which will record how far the ball goes by hitting the land on impact. Getting through the first Thirty Eight guys, the furthest thrown ball was for just twenty five yards. Fortred’s sport staff shakes their heads dissatisfied.

“We better start seeing something superior to this! Fortred’s entire plan could prove to fail.”

He looks down onto his sheet of paper calling up the next person.

“Up next is Link, from the Ordon village.”

The Hylian steps forward stretching his arms, before bending down and picking up the ball. He focuses in, practicing the motions of throwing the ball before he actually does. Taking a few steps back, Link finally steps up releasing the ball! It is a huge moment of silence with the ball gliding into the air with a perfect spiral. Link’s heart rate increases as he watches the ball continue down its path. The ball finally hits the ground way up field! The sport staff members all look up at the score board immediately, along with the many standing in line. Link’s eyes widen to see his score flashing on the board; he threw for Sixty Seven yards!

One of the staff member’s throws his clipboard to the ground.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!! I want you all to give it up for Link!”

Most everyone applauds the Hylian, who just smiles astonished at what he had just done. The man recovers his materials from the ground as they continue on.

“Next up we have Vector the Croc.”

This individual throws for just Twenty seven yards. The day progresses on as many others show off their throwing skills. Link’s throwing distance is finally surpassed, as Donkey Kong throws for 78 yards! Many others show good potential at the position of quarter back. After some time, the sport staff members begin moving people into different groups. Using their stats and information from the exercise, they keep only sixteen participants out of the large group who showed the best potential. The sixteen of them stay within the quarter backing practice session. A group is created for every offensive and defensive position. If someone doesn’t do well in a group, they are sent to another.

“Well, you must be the lucky sixteen!” The guy says laughing.

He looks over the papers on his clip board, looking over the group of participant’s information.

“I’d say by the looks of it, all sixteen of you have secured your spot at the quarter backing position. Each of you threw for at least forty yards or more, with good balance and technique. You guy’s did much better than most everyone else. Remember that your spot can still change in training camp, but if you all are consistent and perform like you did today, you will be just fine.”

The group is then given some time to introduce, themselves amongst each other. Some of them do not require doing that with everyone, given the fact they have already met.

Mario walks over shaking hands with Sonic, remembering him from the smash brothers brawl tournament a decent period ago. The two of them are approached by Ratchet, who introduces himself. Luigi joins his brother’s side.

“This should be extremely interesting Mario, I had no initiative we would end up on separate teams. Regardless of that, it will be enjoyable if I have the fortune of playing against you.” Luigi says.

Sonic places a hand with on the back of Luigi.

“Don’t worry pal, I’m sure this entire occurrence will turn out to be a grand experience.” Sonic replies.

Captain Falcon starts a conversation with Jak and Link. It is not too much longer before; the group is given some more exercise to do. Throughout the elongated spacious pasture, the different groups continue to work intensely. As time goes by an hour turns into three hours! All groups are then finally taken back into the dome. This time each person is directed to which area they will sit within. Fortred re enters shortly after everyone has settled in to their position.

“Now that we have seen you all in some form of exercise, the draft is ready to begin. We will start with first round picks.” Fortred tells.

The majority of the mass applauds Fortred as he leaves the stage. The team owners look over the information of all the participants. The dome is enormously soundless. Hec looks up from the papers, making a resolution.

“For my primary pick, I select Knuckles the Echidna at the running back position.”

Knuckles is beyond shocked to hear his name being announced first! A good portion of the participants cheer for him, before going silent again. Wiley is the next to make a choice.

“For my first round pick, I choose King Dedede at the Linebacker position.”

This process continues for an extensive period of time, as each of the franchise owners continue to select players to their teams. This leaves some of the participants displeased, given the fact they are being separated from friends or family. It takes another few hours before this entire process is complete. Something that is clear for some of the teams, is that they are short a few players. Fortred steps back onto the podium.

“I’m sure you are all blissful that is over, now the fun itself will begin in another few days. I understand that a few teams are short players, but that will be fixed within training camp. To end this day off, I would like all team captains to come up here on the stage.”

The individuals do as they are told, and are directed over to their franchise owner where they will come up with their team name and location of the squad stadium. Everyone else just sits around waiting, as theses preparations are taken care of. The team names and locations are quickly selected. Fortred steps forward informing the rest of the participants of the updated information.

“We will give you all a little bit of time to say your good byes to family and friends, as you will be returning to the planet of where your team stadium will be built.” Fortred tells.

The participants take the time to do just that. Coco bandicoot, spots Crunch within the area of the running backs walking over to him. Crunch turns just in time to see her approaching.

“I just came over to wish you a safe voyage, as you should already know Crash and I will be together.” Coco tells.

“I’ll be just fine; I still find it hard to believe Crash made it at the Quarterback position.” Crunch replies with a laugh.

Coco thinks about it for a few moments, before laughing as well. Mario walks threw the mammoth multitude over to princess Peach who sits beside Daisy. He takes a seat next to them both putting an arm around peach.

“Too bad neither of you will be cheering on my team. Oh well, I’m willing to bet this whole thing will be fun.”

Peach can hear the disappointment in his voice, turning to him with a smile. She leans over kissing him on the cheek. This causes him to blush, Peach notices this and giggles.

“Don’t worry Mario; it will be just for a little while. After all this is over things will go back to being how they were.” Peach tells.

The plumber talks with the two of them, before they depart ways. It is not too much longer before all participants are gathered up, and put onto separate space shuttles which will take them to the appropriate destination. The space ships take off into deep space. Within a shuttle, Jet the hawk sits next to Captain Qwark.

“I understand that you are going to be the quarterback of this team, with that said you better be a darn proficient one. I only agreed to join this thing to help out these people, and to win. So when it comes game day, don’t go out and throw the game away for us.” Captain Qwark tells.

Jet’s eyes open, as he looks over at this individual.

“I don’t believe we’ve met, and already you are trying to tell me what to do. I’m someone who is all about competition, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Jet turns away from him, closing his eyes again.

Planet Ireigiel

Phelm the offensive coordinator of the Flame Wolves enters a room sitting down. He is awaited by a group of persons. Cosbo sits at the other end of the table.

“Congratulations on your win over the shreds, a few days ago. I would expect that Fortred’s council will be sending payment soon. But that is not the reason I called you all here tonight. We have some what of a problem.” Cosbo tells.

He directs his assistant Elisa over to his desk. She returns throwing a few folders onto the table tops. Cosbo opens one of them, and has his assistant pass out the papers which are inside. She does this fairly quickly.

“As you all can see we are loosing viewers to our sports station. But it should be an easy problem to fix. I’m sure this is because of the slaughterer crows, Flame Wolves, ogres, blizzards, and clash Predators. They are the only teams as of late winning championships; viewers must be getting tired of it.”

Cosbo discusses with his staff on a way to resolve the quandary. A great distance away, a ship lands within the enormous city of Corneria. After all the passengers exit the ship, it takes off back into space. Falco Lombardi, being the only one accustomed with the conurbation leads everyone to the closes hotel. All check into the hotel except one. Tiny Tiger didn’t carry any money with him, leaving only one choice. Falco decides to take the big cat home with him. Pulling a contrivance out of his pocket, he uses it to call out the sky claw to his position. Falco turns to Tiny as the vehicle drifts down to the ground in front of them.

“Lets just get one thing straight; when we get back to my place I don’t want you touching anything. Hopefully we are clear on that.” Falco tells.

Tiny pats Falco over the shoulder while smiling showing his prickly teeth.

“No need to worry, I Tiny won’t touch a thing.”

Falco looks down at him with a frown, making it apparent that he is stern. Both beings hop into the vehicle, as Falco takes off into the night sky. The two of them arrive at his place promptly. Getting out of the vehicle Tiny looks around, and is impressed with what appears to be Falco’s weapon’s arsenal! There are missile launchers, blasters, many different types of grenades and weaponry! Falco opens a door, which leads them into the central section of his residence. Tiny is again enlightened by the way things are set up in this space.

“Wow who is she, Tiny is in love.” Tiny tiger asks, looking up at a picture while drooling.

Falco looks over at the picture, smiling under his beak after seeing who it is.

“Her name is Katt; I guess you could say she is somewhat a friend of mine.” Falco replies.

“Maybe you should call her, and see if she will join our cheerleading squad! Please, that would be a real treat?!” Tiny asks.

Falco attempts to say something, but stops. Thinking about what Tiny just said, he comes to a realization that it isn’t such a bad idea.

“I think we might do that, but for tonight we should just get some rest.” Falco replies.

Tiny follows Falco into his massive living room, which has a lot of furniture and a long black leather coach. Tiny leaps onto the coach sitting in front of a big screen T.V. Using the nearby remote, he turns it on.

“If you need anything Tiny just let me know, I’m going to be working on something upstairs.”

The big cat just nods as a form of response. Turning on a light, Falco walks up the stairs. Significantly far away a ship lands on the field of Hyrule, just outside Ordon village. The passengers exit, as the shuttle returns to Quifeza afterward. Link explains to everyone who is not familiar with his village, on how things work. After doing so, most of the participants decide to set up camp exterior of his village. The Hylian looks over at Zelda, who stands next to Peach.

“You should probably try and cover your features a little bit, if any of the villagers knew that the princess of their kingdom was here in this village, it could become chaotic.” Link tells.

Zelda smiles while wrapping a scarf around her head, over her hair.

“Luckily this will just be for a night; I’m going to take Princess Peach back with me to the castle tomorrow. Did they say exactly where the stadium would be built? It’s not really that important, it’s just so I can inform the kingdom choice makers it was my decision.” Zelda asks.

“I just told them it will be built on Hyrule field, about two miles from the city.” Link replies.

Everyone camps outside of Ordon village, except for Link, Peach, and Zelda. Out of the whole group, Banjo and King Boo don’t mind. Not trying to alert any of the villagers, Link directly leads both women up into his tree house. Zelda looks around, only to see one bed. She looks over at Link, placing both hands on her waist.

“Not to be rude or anything, but you only have one bed?! How is this going to work?” Zelda asks.

Link looks over at what appears to be a moody Zelda.

“Don’t concern yourself; the two of you will be sleeping in the bed while I take the ground.” Link tells.

Zelda takes off the scarf, and Link can see the relief within her face.

“Thank goodness, I thought you were going to say something else.” Zelda replies.

Peach giggles getting the attention of them both.

“What is so funny?” Zelda asks.

“It’s not really anything, but looking at the two of you talking back and forth I could see you as a married couple.” Peach tells, giggling again.

Link smiles while Zelda frowns.

“That would never happen; I am a princess of high class. My bride to be will be of a royal family.” Zelda tells.

Link’s heart drops at her words, not that he wanted to be with her or anything. Trying to escape the situation, Link decides to go get them all something to eat leaving the tree house. Peach turns to Zelda.

“I think you may have hurt his feelings, personally I think he is really cute.” Peach tells.

Zelda takes a seat on the bed, laying back.

“You shouldn’t worry, I’m sure he is fine.” Zelda tells.

Within subterranean space, Fortred’s inhabitants continue to search for participants to fill up the spots they are short. The group is very successful in their mission, coming across many individuals. They come across Princess Rosalina, giving her the opportunity of joining a team as the leading cheerleader due to her gorgeousness. She is updated on why the event is accruing, and is given the option of joining a team. Looking down on the paper, she recognizes a familiar name smiling! She decides to join that team, taking part in the affair.

CHP3: Training Camp




A few weeks have conceded, as each and every team has been training vigorous within their arenas. Forted sits within an office with the rest of his council, discussing the details on when they will broadcast their event to the other planets. They decide to set up a press conference, with Fortred informing everyone.


Deserted Island

A stadium has been built for the seals that in whom practice routs. The ball is snapped to Crash who hands it off to Funky Kong, but is stopped at once. The defense read the play coming up the middle with a blitz. The play results in a loss of six yards. A defender helps Funky Kong to his feet, afterward both players get back on their sides of the field. The ball again is snapped to Crash, who takes a few steps back. He looks down the field for his Tight end a Goron gunning the ball into his chest! The offence picks up thirteen yards, before the player runs out of bounds. Everyone on the field wears pads helmets etc. Funky Kong Looks around, at everyone’s jersey’s which look to be over twenty years old and tattered.

“I can’t wait until they provide us with our actual attire, when game day begins in another three month’s! Hopefully our team logo doesn’t look screwy.” Funky Kong Whispers into Crash’s ear.

The bandicoot replies by just nodding.

“Alright everyone, we are going to run one more play before we send you all out on a break.” The team leader tells.

Crash has difficulties with the communications piece in his helmet, and has to walk off of the field to get the play from the offensive coordinator. After this is done, he runs back onto the field. At the line of scrimmage Crash sends Skid Mcmarx in motion. The ball is snapped to him, as the defense comes with a full force blitz! The Bandicoot looks up field and is hit as he throws. Skid jumps up to make the catch but it is too high, and ends in an incompletion. The team leader steps out onto the field.

“I want you all in the locker room within the next ten minutes; I have something important to update you all with. Afterward we will return back on the field for some exercises.”

Most of the players head directly to the locker room.


Dream Land


The Bleach brother players, all stand within their locker room suiting up. All of them get ready to take the field. All players do this hurriedly, as they know there is a lot to be done throughout the day. When on the field, the players set their helmets to the side. The head coach walks around with a clipboard to make sure that all players are on the field, calling off each name. This process is finished without delay.

“Alright gentlemen, before we begin our frequent practice session we will begin with some exercises. I want you all to be in great shape, so when training camp is over you will all scamper through our contesters!”

The group is sent off running laps from the end zone, to the fifteen yard line and back. They continue doing the same process, but switch to a different exercise after some time. One of the player’s slows down getting drowsy; the coach notices this and has the group go even longer. He has them stop after another few minutes.

“As a whole group you all did very well, don’t worry as we continue to exercise you will all get stronger. Over time it will get easier, I’m just pushing you all hard so that you will be ready! I would like to create a playoff team here in Dreamland; if you all work hard we can do it.”

The players listen to their coach speak aloud. After he is done talking, he gives the group a break before the official practice begins. The offensive players proceed to the field with their helmets ready to begin. Waluigi looks down at the plays he has strapped onto his arm. He calls his team into a huddle.

“This should be an automatic completion if you all do your part. This is going to be play hg4, a screen to WR Kirby. I need you players of the line to do a good job, unlike the last few days. Their blitz schemes are something that we need to overcome.” Waluigi tells.

The huddle is broken with the offensive players getting in position. The defensive players are on the field shortly and the session commences. The ball is snapped to Waluigi, as a group of defenders rip through the line and take him down. The defensive coordinator applauds his defense. Waluigi is helped to his feet by Vector the Croc. The Offensive players follow Waluigi back into the huddle.

“As I said before, I need the line to hold up for longer. This time we are doing play qs2, I want all receivers up field. If they are thinking, the defense will play man to man.”

The huddle is broken as each player returns to his proper position. Waluigi takes the snap and instantly can see the blitz. Waluigi runs to his right trying to avoid another sack, he is grabbed from behind as he releases the ball. This one is intercepted, but the defender doesn’t get far as he is tackled by an offensive line men. Waluigi shakes his head aggravated. He again directs his team into a huddle.

“We as the offence need to start putting something together, this defense has been destroying us for the past couple days now.”

Waluigi looks at the plays with on his arm band, choosing yet another play. The offence gets back in their positions. But this time Waluigi picks up the blitz before the ball is even snapped to him. He sends Kirby in motion. The instant the ball is snapped to him, Waluigi moves around in the pocket while looking up field. His line holds the defenders long enough for him to launch a rocket! The ball zooms out soaring into the air, with an almost perfect spiral. Kirby is alone with the closes defender a good five yards back. With much concentration the pink being jumps up making the catch! He runs for another fifteen yards before leaping into the end zone and celebrating. A smile appears on the face of Waluigi, very pleased with the play. It was a completion of 72 yards.

“That is what happens if you blitz us too much, eventually they will be burned for it. Just like this play.” Waluigi tells Vector.

The Croc smiles as well, ecstatic with the play. Kirby returns down the field only to be taken off to the side. Another receiver is put in, so that he could rest up after the long completion.


Hyrule Field


The team known as the Legends practice and train hard throughout their stadium. Link walks off of the field and over to the offensive coordinator. The Hylian puts his arm up, pointing down to a specific play on his arm band.

“I like the route Banjo runs on this play, but we have both seen his speed and I think his route should change. The other receiver is fine, but I think we should make some adjustments to this play, so we can hit Banjo up the field a little further.” Link suggests

The coordinator opens his play book, looking for Play S1. He finds it after flipping through a few pages, and looks it over. Looking over at Link he smiles while pulling out a pen.

“I’m definitely going to agree with your request; he is a very fast individual. You will now need to throw the ball to this point; the two of you just need to get the timing down.”

Link puts his helmet back on while walking onto the field. The Hylian gets back in his position. Link yells out something to his offence noticing something familiar from the defense. The ball is snapped to Link, who hands it off to Crunch. The bandicoot finds a hole to run through, lowering his shoulders he is taken down by two defenders. The play results in a gain of seven yards. Link takes his offence into a huddle.

“Good work so far today, you have all done fine. Lets try play av5.” Link tells, looking down on his arm band.

The offence returns to their standpoints. The ball is snapped to Link, faking the hand off to Crunch he looks up field. He punt fake’s to Banjo looking to the other side of the field he has a player open. Stepping up he throws the ball putting a lot of zip on it. King Boo makes the catch, but is pushed out of bounds after a gain of seventeen yards. The Offence moves up the field as they continue. The ball is snapped to Link, with defenders coming at him from all directions. The pocket collapse as Link runs forward, stopping in place. The Hylian launches the ball into the air! Banjo is double covered running into the end zone all three players jump up for the ball. Surprisingly Banjo comes down with the ball! Link and the rest of the offence are thrilled, by his great effort. Banjo along with the defensive players walks down the field to return with everyone.

“Wow Banjo that was a really amazing catch. You sure do have good hands.” Link says.

Banjo walks over to the Hylian, patting him on the shoulder.

“I couldn’t have done it without the tremendous pass.” Banjo replies.

Link responds by smiling. The head coach walks onto the field.

“Before I send you all out on your thirty minute break, we are going to practice the two minute drill. It is quite apparent that you are able to put away a game when on top.”

Players on both sides of the ball get into their spots, getting ready for the exercise. A few miles away, Princess Peach enjoys a hot bubble bath within Hyrule castle. The princess looks up at the ceiling, thinking about her kingdom. It bothers her, not knowing if everything is ok. Her thoughts are interrupted as someone knocks at the door. She slides up revealing the upper part of her body.

“Who is it?”

“No need to panic Princess Peach, I’m just a messenger sent from the central vestibule. I’m just letting you know that Princess Zelda will be returning to the castle within the next ten minutes.”
“Ok, thanks.”

The guy leaves afterward. The Princess finishes shortly after, stepping out of the tub drying off with two towels. She wraps one over her hair, and the other over her body. Making her way out of the bathroom she feels refreshed, leaping onto the bed laying back. It isn’t long before the door to her room is opened. She looks up to see Zelda, who closes the door behind her.

“I hope your enjoying your stay here in Hyrule so far. We have cheerleading practice this evening, but afterward we are going to have dinner down in the dinning room. Their will be a lot of guests, I just thought I would inform you.” Zelda tells.

Peach sits up looking at her, as the two of them smile.

“That sounds good.” Peach replies.

Zelda leads Peach over to a closet so that she can find a dress to wear for the occasion.


Down Town
Station Square


A stadium has been constructed and built for the Speed Dodgers. Special shoes have been provided for Sonic, Shadow and anyone else who has over the top speed! It slows them down to a playing level of almost everyone. Sonic hands the ball off to Samurai Goroh, who runs up the middle breaking tackles. He is finally taken down after a gain of twelve yards. The offence moves up, before getting in position again. The ball is snapped to Sonic, a blitz is preformed by the defense, but the line holds. This gives sonic time, punt faking to Shadow he throws the ball to his tight end. They pick up nine yards. Sonic decides to take his team into a huddle.

“Nice job everyone, I especially want to give credit to the line you guy’s are giving me loads of time to do things. Anyhow let’s go with RL2.0, I smell the end zone. These guys’s are probably expecting us to try and pick up small yards.” Sonic tells.

The huddle is broken up, as the players get in their rightful spots. Sonic sends one of his receivers in motion as the ball is snapped to him. The hedgehog steps back looking up field, smiling. He bullets the ball into the air with a flawless spiral, Shadow out runs everyone with the closes defender ten yards behind him. Shadow looks over his shoulder, making the catch running into the end zone for a 51 yard completion. A lot of defenders shake their heads over the blown coverage. Shadow returns down the field with the ball.

“Great catch pal, couldn’t have done it better myself.” Sonic tells Shadow.

The head coach comes out onto the field, informing the offence to practice a hurry up offence.

“This should be fun, I’m all about speed.” Sonic adds.

Both the offensive and defensive players get into their positions. The ball is snapped to Sonic who runs to his right, seeing nothing open he tosses the ball to his running back. Samurai Goroh picks up over four yards. The hedgehog gets his players to the line. The ball is snapped to him. Sonic guns the ball in the direction of Shadow, but a defender knocks it away. Sonic has the ball snapped to him again, but this time a defender comes in un touched taking him down for a loss of three. The hedgehog gets up instantly shaking it off.

“Watch for the blitz guys, we can’t afford to give up yards.” Sonic tells.

Sonic signals for the ball, as it is snapped to him immediately. The Hedgehog scuttles around within the pocket; one of the line men falls over as two defenders come through. Sonic does the smart thing and makes a run for it. He dashes off to his left where there is a great deal of just green grass in front of him. Sonic picks up fourteen yards before he slides down.


Isle Delfino


A football stadium has been built for a team called the Ultra Bros. Mario runs around in the pocket trying to get away from the pressure, but is sacked by Petey Piranha for a loss of 8 yards. Petey helps Mario up, as they both get back to their set positions. The ball is again snapped to Mario who hands it off to Storm the Albatross. Petey Piranha comes from the side taking him down for a loss of three yards. The entire defense applauds the plant for his great effort!

“I can tell you this for sure when it comes to playing the many teams in a few months; Petey will really be a difference maker on defense. He has been making big stops for the last few weeks.”

The defensive coordinator talks with the head coach. Mario decides to take his offence into a huddle.

“Mammia if we want to get something going, I need at least two to three guys blocking Petey. He is just too dangerous.”

Mario discusses with his line men on what he wants, and calls the play afterward. Heading back to their places, Mario feels a bit more confident. He takes the snap, stepping back a few yards the defense comes with a blitz. The plumber slides to his left, looking up field. Petey and another defender break through the line coming after Mario who steps up to throw. Yoshi makes a perfect catch fifteen yards up, but is not taken down instantly as a defender misses the tackle. The dino runs for another ten yards before he is brought down. It results in a completion of twenty five yards.

“That is more like it, but aside from that we have one tough defense.” Mario says.

Shy Guy shakes his head agreeing. All players move up the field, to the point of where Yoshi was stopped. Mario signals for the ball and gets it, stepping back a bit. He finds Yoshi, launching the ball into his chest. The Dino makes the catch but is taken down by Petey and another defender. They only pick up five yards on the play. The head coach yells out on the sideline getting everyone’s attention.

“That will be enough for today, you guys can head into the locker room and go get cleaned up.”

Everyone does that except for Mario, who notices someone sitting over on a bench. He walks over to the individual taking a seat next to her, and taking his helmet off.

“What are you doing here so early? Doesn’t the practice session for you all begin in another hour?” Mario asks.

“Yes that is true, but I thought I’d stop by a little earlier so that I could see you.” Rosalina tells.

Mario smiles while giving her a hug.

“That is really nice of you; I will see you at the hotel back on Sirena beach. I need to go get cleaned up.” Mario tells.

“Ok see yah later.”

The princess takes another lick of her chocolate snow cone, watching Mario heading to the locker room.


Corneria


It’s somewhat of a cloudy day in the city of Corneria. The team known now as the Lylat Birds, practice within their stadium. Falco Lombardi takes the snap, having no receiver open he dumps the ball off to Knuckles the Echidna who picks up two yards. The players get back in position, with the ball being snapped to Falco again who hands it off to Tiny. the tiger runs over the defenders picking up Twelve yards before running out of bounds. Falco heads up the field with the rest of the players. Immediately he takes his offence into a huddle.

"We don't have much time left in this practice; this will most likely be the last play so let’s make it good."

Falco looks down on his armband, making a decision. Back in their positions, Falco takes the snap. He looks up field to see the defense playing man to man coverage. Looking for his best receiver Espio, he throws into double coverage! It is caught by his receiver in the end zone.

This is a fun story to visualize! And I like how Petey is considered a difference-making player.

I don't know about the speed-reducing shoes, though. Shouldn't each character be able to use their own advantages? I'd like to see more specialized playing out of each player (Mario's fireballs, etc.).

CHP4: Training Camp PT 2





Over a month and a few weeks have passed. The sun levitates over Yoshi’s island awakening Jak. He sits up on the bed stretching and can feel pain throughout his body. This is due to the training within camp. Getting out of bed he gets dressed, and can see that it is 5:35 am in the morning looking over at a clock. Feeling very restless he exits the room heading down a group of stairs and into the kitchen. Jak pours himself a bowl of cereal while sitting down at a nearby table. Someone enters the room sitting next to him. He looks over to see one of his team mates.

“How are you doing this morning Gloshi? I couldn’t sleep so I just decided to get up, after I’m done eating I’m heading out to the stadium for some morning warm ups. The others should be there by 6:45.” Jak says.

The dino picks up a nearby magazine, looking through it.

“I guess I will follow you out there, besides I know our head coach is already at the stadium planning our practice for the day.”

Gloshi gets up from the table, walking over to the coffee machine to make himself a cup of it.


Bomb-omb
Battlefield


The players get suited up within the locker room. Afterward they are guided onto the field by their team leader. The players are ordered to run across the 100 yard field twice. This gets them prepared for what they will do throughout the day. The offensive and defensive players get into their appropriate spots, which are determined by the play called on the sideline. Koopa Troopa takes the first snap but trips up over a line man, trying to sustain his stability; he plummets back for a loss of 4 yards. Blooper helps the individual back up. Koopa Troopa takes the snap running to his left, throwing up the field he is intercepted by Bowser! The defender brings it back fifteen yards before being taken down. Koopa Troopa shakes his head at the mistake. Bowser approaches the little turtle.

“I dare you to throw my way again, next time I’m taking it to the house.”

The words from Bowser bring trepidation into the petite turtle. Both players get back on their sides of the field and get ready for the next play. Koopa Troopa takes the snap handing it off to Blooper who runs to his left. Blooper takes a few players up the field six yards before he is taken down. Koopa Troopa looks down on his arm band to find a play that can get them further yards. Moving up the field the ball is snapped to him; shifting a few times he gets rid of the ball. Metaknight makes the catch picking up 16 yards.


Veldin


Ratchet sits on the sideline geared up, waiting for the practice to begin. The Lambox drinks Gatorade, looking up into the bright sky and smiling. There is not a single cloud within the dazzling blue sky. Setting his helmet down to the side, Toad takes a seat next to Ratchet.

“How’s it going Toad, I’m glad you came my way I need to discuss something with you.”

Ratchet shifts his body a little bit.

“I need you to stop having short arms, when you do that we are going to have a lot of in completions. And what I mean by that is whenever you hear footsteps approaching from any direction you tend not to reach out, I need you to ignore them and make the catch.” Ratchet tells.

Toad understands what it is he needs to improve on, but at the same time it won’t be easy to completely fix. Ratchet places a hand on his teammate’s shoulder.

“There is no need to feel down, I know it might take a little time. Besides for the most part, you, Clank, and Rick Wheeler have been terrific.”

It isn’t too much longer before Ratchet and Toad are directed to the field along with everyone else. With the first play Ratchet hands the ball off to Paratroopa who is very quick on his feet. The turtle runs up his left side picking up four yards and a few inches. Ratchet playfully hits Paratroopa on the shell after the play. Ratchet signals for the ball, taking the snap. He takes a few steps back, looking up field for something big. Finding something he steps up throwing the ball, which is caught and dropped by Rick Wheeler.

Ratchet takes his players into a huddle.

“Listen up all of you; we are going with the Ye3/ the coaster Wheeler option. We have about a sixty percent chance of throwing them off, and if we do it should make for a good gain. One of you bone heads better not mess this up.”

Ratchet looks over at a few individuals with a glare in his eyes. Once at the line Ratchet sends Rick in motion. As he takes the snap all of his receivers are quick getting up field. Punt faking to Rick, Ratchet causes the defender guarding Clank to fall. Ratchet takes this opportunity throwing to his open receiver. Clank leaps into the air making the catch and running off into the sideline. Ratchet smiles while moving up the field with his offense.


Corneria


Falco stands up against a wall with both his arms and legs crossed. He watches the footage which is showed to him by Hec, the franchise owner. The ace pilot studies a single person on the screen, which is Tomler/ the quarter back for the slaughterer crows.

“Do you expect me to play the position of quarter back, similar to this individual? That’s just something I’m not interested in doing.” Falco tells.

“I’m not asking you to imitate him exactly, but I do however want you to study him. He is arguably the best Quarter back within my galaxy. When opening game day comes, I want you to be top three in this league of 16.”

Falco decides not to respond, watching Tomler’s posture and style. Outside of the room and down on the Stadium Tiny Tiger sits on a bench, along with a Goron from Hyrule. The two of them watch as the kicker for there team practices kicking field goals. Tiny picks up and opens a play book which is lying next to him. The Tiger flips through a few pages before stopping.

“Tiny like this formation, the defense has a hard time stopping us when in it. I just hope the lead man doesn’t have us do too many additional aerobics today.”

The tiger talks with the Goron who is an offensive lineman. The two of them look just in time to see the kicker of the Lylat birds kick a fifty seven yard field goal. Together the rest of the players enter the field from the locker room. Falco also returns to the field, with Peppy Hare the offensive coordinator. Tiny jumps up running over to Falco.

“Can we please run the hurry up offence first, please?! That is the best way for I Tiny to get warmed up.”

Falco looks down at the energetic Tiger.

“I’m sure that won’t be a problem, but you will have to ask the head coach. Only he decides what we will and won’t do.”

Tiny follows the team captain over to the rest of the offensive players. Falco looks down at his selection of plays, waiting to see what the team will commence with.


Cool Cool Mountains


It snow’s severely, which is why the top to the dome has been placed on. Luigi sits in a lounge which was built for the players sipping on hot chocolate. Fox Mccloud sits in a nearby coach along with two others watching a T.V. Flipping through a few channels he stops, seeing someone proverbial. Fortred stands before a huge crowd of different beings. He waits for the commentators to quite down before speaking. Many pictures are taken of him as he stands before everyone.

“I’m glad to see that you have all come, for the announcement of an upcoming event. I would like to make this short and sweet so I will cut right to the chase. All citizens of each planet will have the pleasure of attending the football games, of 16 new teams that will compete against each other!”

Throughout Fortred’s announcement laughing can be heard within the crowd of people. It doesn’t take too long before he is finished speaking. At this time many hands go up to ask questions. He selects a person to speak.

“Not to sound like an idiot or anything, but this is completely preposterous. No one will pay money to see unskilled players engage in games against each other.”

Fortred answers many questions only to be criticized more and more. The head coach for the Mushroom dashers enters the lounge getting all of his player’s attention within the room.

“I want you all on the field right now, your thirty is over.”

Fox crushes his Pepsi can, standing to his feet.

“Obviously the critics aren’t expecting much, I guess that will leave it up to us to give them a performance they won’t see coming.” Fox says.

All players exit the room ready to take care of business on the field. Luigi puts on his helmet leading his offensive players to their usual sideline the group waits for the offensive coordinator who doesn’t take long.

“Before we begin I would like to say that I am proud of the offensive line, for helping with better pass protection in these last few practices. But I would like to see improvement in the area of opening holes for the running back. We haven’t done to well on that, besides that you have all done well.”

The coordinator sets down a simple plan for his offence, before they are lead onto the field by Luigi. The defensive players are on the field not long after. Luigi signals for the ball, getting it right away. The plumber hands the ball off to Wario, who manages to only pick up a few inches. This time Luigi sends his number one receiver in motion. Taking the snap he runs to his left, looking down the middle of the Field is Fox Mccloud. The defense play’s man to man, Luigi launches the ball downfield. Fox makes the catch over his left shoulder while in stride. Outrunning everyone he makes it to the 10 yard line before being stopped.

“Some how we need to shut that Fox down, whenever they get the ball to him he always picks up huge yards.” A defender complains in frustration.

All players jog down to the point of where the ball ended.

“That was a good catch and run Fox, I thought you were goanna go the whole way.” Luigi says.

“It doesn’t always work out that way, but you can always look to me for a huge completion.” Fox replies.

Both players trade smiles getting back into the huddle. Setting up the screen Luigi takes the snap. Luigi throws to Koopa in the end zone for a completion. The defense was totally thrown off by the play.


Venom


Wolf O’Donnell walks down a hall within the stadium coming across a soda machine and stopping. He inserts a dollar, getting himself an energy drink. Feeling another presence behind him, he jumps a bit startled.

“No need to be frightened dare. I guess we haven’t had the chance of introducing ourselves. I’m Rouge the bat, and this is Mia we are both part of the cheerleading squad.”

“And I am supposed to care; the two of you shouldn’t even be here. The practice for your squad isn’t till later in the day.”
“You sure are rude, but anyway we just came to see you all practice. Don’t worry it’s just the two of us.”
“That’s fine by me, but if you could get out of my way, I have to get ready.”

Wolf walks passed both of them not saying a word. Both females turn to each other.

“He sure has a grouchy personality.” Mia says.

Wolf enters the locker room, getting into his pads and whatever else just as everyone else in the locker room. Different conversations can be heard throughout the room. Wolf gets into his stuff getting out onto the field. He walks over to the defense coordinator who is none other than Panther Caruso.

“I’m glad to see your up and around, so how is that right shoulder of yours?” Panther asks.

“It’s actually quite fine, I just dislocated it yesterday. I will be able to perform at 100% today.” Wolf tells.

Wolf warms up by throwing the ball back and forth to his tight end. The two of them do this until the remainder of players and coaches come onto the field. The players warm up by doing stretches and jogging on the field. Afterward each player gets into his position. Wolf yells something out to his line picking up the blitz from the defense. Wolf gets the ball and is taken down by King Dedede before he can hand it off to dry bones. Dedede helps Wolf up.

“Damn it’s going to take three of us to hold Dedede; this guy is a born natural brute.” An offensive lineman nags.

Wolf takes the snap, taking three steps back. Dedede comes from Wolfs left side with two line men falling over smashing into the quarter back’s side. This leads to a fumble with Dedede recovering it and running back to the opposite end zone. Wolf gets up brushing himself off.

“It’s a good thing I won’t have to play against King Dedede and this defense, when it counts. They will be a huge part in this team’s success.” Wolf says.

Dedede comes back up the field with the ball, in addition to the offence starting over. Wolf takes the snap, just keeping his attention up field and nowhere else. The pocket holds up for a little while, but a few defenders come through. Three defenders get a hand on wolf as he releases the ball. It is caught by Boshi up field for a gain of eleven yards.


Kongo Jungle


The Primates practice without a top on the stadium. The temperature is at 79 degrees, with a little light rain. Candy Kong sits at a bench on the side with Kiddy Kong watching the players practice.

“Watch for the deep pass to Koopa, make sure that turtle is double covered. While you do that, the front four will try and burry DK into the dirt.”

The defense gets themselves organized, not trying to let the offense get anything. Donkey Kong takes the snap moving around a little bit. The line holds the defenders trying to come through. Donkey Kong throws to a receiver who drops it, hearing footsteps coming from his backside. Taking the snap DK immediately tries to get the ball off to Koopa, but is intercepted just because of that. Donkey Kong leaps forward in an attempt to tackle the individual, but the defender just jumps over him. He is eventually taken down by the running back. After the lengthy press conference, Fortred and his group begin putting the schedules together.

“Listen carefully, remember to put some of or teams here in the planet Quifeza on teams games. Just choose them at random; this will be a good way to see how good the teams are in this 16 team league.” Fortred tells.

Good to see that they're all training hard...and you have worked hard to illustrate how they're training.

CHP 5: Training camp Pt3






Much time has passed, and it is now just two days away from the opening game day. Small news within this time span is Krystal was traded from the Lylat birds too the mushroom dashers. Replacing her at the #1 spot is Katt. The Lylat birds also picked up Charizard at the defensive end position. Coming off of their fifteen minute break, Ike takes his offensive players to the field.

“While we wait on everyone else I would like to take this moment to congratulate you all.” Ike sets his helmet down. “It’s been a real pleasure working with this group, and come Sunday in two days we’ll show everyone we’re the team to beat!”

The offensive players listen to Ike’s speech which gets them wild up and ready to play. The owner of the franchise comes onto the field, surprising everyone. He is hardly ever seen by any of the players.

“Just letting you all know that Fortred and the league, have released the official schedules for the season. Your first game will be against the reindeers, but you will be traveling to their stadium.” The owner tells.

He gives a few copies to Ike, who hands them out to his players. It isn’t much longer as the coaching staffs along with the defensive players enter the field. The head coach gets the attention of everyone.

“I know you’re all really excited for what’s coming up shortly, but we need to take advantage of these two last days of practice.”

After he finishes speaking, the practice session starts up.

Down Town

Station Square

Taking the delayed handoff is Samurai Goroh, who runs up the middle turning and throwing the ball back to Sonic. The hedgehog steps up throwing a flea flicker. Shadow locates the ball over his shoulder, but when trying to make the catch he bumps helmets with another receiver. The two of them plunge too the ground and gaze at a defender making the interception. Shadow is swift to get up stopping the defender from gaining any yards. Sonic laughs a bit as the players come back down the field.

“What is so funny?” Shadow asks with a slight grin. “Sometimes I just don’t understand what goes on in that little head of yours.”

The Blue Hedgehog does not reply, getting everyone ready for the next play. Sonic lines up in the shot gun, with an empty back field. He signals for the ball a few times, receiving it belatedly. The defense plays in a cover 2. Taking a chance he throws across the field into traffic where the ball is caught by his tight end. This play results in a gain of thirteen yards.

“This will be a quick slant, keep the D moving.” Sonic whispers.

Sonic takes the snap and finds an open receiver up five yards throwing to him. This individual can’t quite pull it in, which results in an incomplete pass.

Hyrule

The sun levitates over the kingdom, with the Hylian Link returning from a morning walk to his tree house. Climbing up the latter he looks at Epona, giving her a smile for indebtedness. After doing so he makes his way up the full latter. Once he enters inside he smiles at the sight of a sleeping Banjo. Link sets the bag of stuff he carries onto his bed, the honey bear snoozes on the ground in a sleeping bag with a pillow. Link bends down patting Banjo over his shoulder, awaking him.

“Sorry to disturb your sleep, but it is almost time for us to hit the road.” Link pulls the bag off of his bed. “I’ve even brought in some breakfast for us, before we head out.”

Banjo yawns sitting up observing the room. He and Link decide too take the food with them. The Hylian and Honey bear depart from the tree house, climbing down the latter. Link hops onto the back of Epona, while Banjo gets on the top of another barrowed horse from the castle. Epona leads the way with Link, but Banjo doesn’t trail too far behind. They cross a few miles on Hyrule field finally reaching the stadium. The two of them enter, leaving the horses.

“By the sounds of it, I’d say we’ve arrived very early.” Banjo looks down the long quite hall. “I guess it’s better than being late.”

“That’s for sure, last time someone was late it sure was a hectic practice.” Link replies.

Advancing down the hall turning a few corners, the two individuals come across the cheerleaders who hang around in the lounge.

“What are the two of you doing here this early?” Banjo and Link look over at Hena who speaks. “Don’t you guys have another forty five minutes before your practice?”

Banjo is silent while looking over at Link.

“We just felt that it would be nice to get ahead start on everything this morning.” Link says, a bit edgy.

This causes many of the females throughout the room to giggle. As a reaction both Link and Banjo become nervous, but strive their best not to show it. A door opens across the room, taking the attention off of them. Entering is a wet Princess Peach, wearing a towel over her body, and another wrapped in her hair. She jumps startled at the sight of the Hylian and Honey bear!

“No need to ask questions, we were just leaving.” Link says maliciously.

“You don’t have to leave, sit down.” Peach walks over to a coach taking a seat. “Don’t be a stranger I won’t bite; besides we really haven’t had the chance to talk.”

“The two of you can discuss whatever it is you want, I’ll be in the training room.” Banjo pats Link on his shoulder. “See you in a bit buddy.”

Link can hear through Banjo’s voice that he used this as a way to escape the situation. Banjo exits the room and Link subsequently takes a seat next to Peach.

“So how has it been like working with the princess Zelda?” Link sets his hand on the sofa’s surface. “I’ve only really seen her on a few occasions until this event came up.”

“She is a really nice person, but can get moody when it comes to making decisions for this kingdom. That reminds me of myself, we are much alike in some ways.” Peach replies.

The Princess slides over close to Link placing one hand over his. His comfort level drops a bit, but shows no signs of this.

“It must be somewhat stressful being the team captain in all. But I’ve seen how you handle the position, and you will do just fine.” Peach says giving Link a smile.

Cool Cool Mountain

Fox MCcloud sits in a back room on a computer typing. A door from his backside opens with Luigi and the head coach entering.

“How is our best receiver doing this afternoon?” The coach asks.

Fox does not answer immediately until he types in a password hitting enter.

“I’m doing just fine, since we have this day off from practice I thought I would take this time to check up on some things.” Fox clicks into his inbox. “Wow it looks like I have a lot of messages from Myspace.”

The coach places a hand on the shoulder of Fox smiling a bit.

“About that, I need you and Luigi to get suited up in the locker room and meet me out on the field. It’ll just be the two of you; everyone else is a few miles from here snowboarding. I’ll explain everything when you get out there.”

The coach exits the room leaving Luigi and Fox.

“Here I was thinking this was going to be a day of relaxation… that blows.” Fox complains.

“Don’t worry man; we probably won’t have to do much of anything.” Luigi replies.

The two of them leave the room together walking down the long halls to the locker room. With any resonance, it echoes through the lengthy corridor. They get suited up in their pads helmets etc. Luigi slips his arm band on last, which contains his important offensive plays.

“So what’s your guess of what our official uniforms will look like?” Luigi asks excited.

“I have no clue, but everything will be revealed tonight. I just hope our team logo is fierce, the franchise owner did however reveal to me which number I will be wearing.” Fox tells.

“What number is it?”

“Eighty one.” Fox replies with pride in his tone.

The two of them waste no more time departing from the room. Fox leads them to the field where they are greeted by many.

“Before the two of you begin I will tell you what is going on. These people are part of Fortred’s organization; they have been observing the practices of every team for the past month. A few receivers have really caught their attention, and you’re one of them Fox. So what is going to happen is, Luigi is going to throw you a series of routes.”

“So basically they’re taking an even closer look at me, I got yah.” Fox concludes.

Luigi shakes hands with the women and men.

“So how did your institute come up with the schedules for each team?” Luigi asks.

This is explained to Luigi by a young woman who tells him each team has division opponents which they must play twice. The prime time matches were set up using what the observers saw from each team’s practices, which looked to be the best. Fox and Luigi head onto the field to commence. Two men from Fortred’s staff enter the opposite side of the field, playing as defenders. One plays man to man, while the other plays safety. Luigi sends Fox in Motion, giving him the signal to run his rout. They go through a few different curl routes and slants, with Fox catching every single one. He also beats the safety deep on a rout making a one hand catch! The groups on the side line write notes on their clipboards.

Isle Delfino

Mario bench presses in the workout room, wearing tan pants and a sleeveless shirt. In there with him are several defensive players, including Yoshi who works on a machine to help increase his speed and endurance. Petey Piranha lifts weights. Outside of the stadium are many Piantas, Boygeys and Tanooki’s purchasing tickets for the big game tomorrow. They’re all very energized for the huge event.

Some distance away Rosalina lies out on Sirena Beach in a bathing suit, along with some of the cheerleaders. One of them rubs sunscreen on her back. They laugh and talk about what they’ve been doing for the past few weeks.

“Would you ladies like something to eat or drink?” A Pianta asks walking by with a tray.

All of them order the islands finest smoothie. He takes their order walking off back into the hotel. Behind them approaches Storm the Albatross. All of them notice him right away.

“What brings you here, aren’t you supposed to be with the rest of the guy’s preparing for tomorrow?” One of them asks.

“I just forgot my good running shoes in my hotel room and had to come back. I saw you all hangin around here, and just thought I’d say hi.”

Storm turns to walk off but is tapped on the shoulder.

“When you do get back to the stadium, could you tell Mario I think he is very adorable? I wonder if he would give me his number.”

All of them begin laughing except Rosalina who almost roles her eyes, Storm just smiles.

“Make sure you tell him the message is from Angela.” She almost says seductively.

“No problem, I’ll let him know. Tomorrow is a big day, and I must be going now. You ladies have a nice rest of the day.” Storm replies.

They all wave as he walks off. Angela lays back, resting her head on the upper part of Rosalina’s leg.

“So are we goanna go through the opening routine any more today.” Someone asks.

“Yes of course, we must be fully prepared for tomorrow.” Rosalina replies, running her fingers through Angela’s hair.

Veldin

Ratchet runs across the field dodging defenders with spin moves but is quickly brought down. This was because of the fact there wasn’t an open receiver anywhere. He is helped up by Toad.

“That wasn’t too bad a play, but you did have Rick Wheeler open for a second on the cross route.” Toad says.

Ratchet just pats Toad on the helmet getting back in their positions. Taking the snap the Lambox moves in the pocket, waiting for something to develop up field. He throws to one of his receivers on the left slant. It is a gain of sixteen. With the next play, Ratchet takes the snap handing the ball off to Paratroopa who finds some running room up the left side. He picks up decent yards before being stopped.

A great distance away, fortred discusses the big event with his council.

“Tomorrow is going to be a big day; by the looks of it we have already pulled in some nice numbers with pre ordered tickets, especially in that of Corneria, Station square, and Dreamland!” Fortred tells.

A door to the room opens with two others joining them at the table.

“Good news sir, we’ve got the transportation set up for civilians of the surrounding planets of ours to attend the games.”

“That’s excellent, now have a seat this meeting is far from over.” Fortred stands up passing papers out to everyone. “Let us discuss the huge interview we have for the public this evening.”

Everyone at the table puts in their ideas, arguing back and forth before coming to a consensus. It is then they move on to the next set of business.

To be continue

Banjo's a honey bear? Oh yeah...honeycombs...right. -_-

Fox is going to be MVP. Just wait. Even though you're the one writing it.

So the training is over? It looks to be an exciting day ahead.

Galaxy Ball
CHP6: Game time




After numerous hard fought weeks of training, the day has finally come where dreams will begin or be shattered. Each franchise is set to try and be the best, but their can only be one crowned victor in the end! Fortred speaks before the many news casters and critics, mounting up to hundreds. The pressure is definitely on, but there is no way he can show any weakness or panic. It is just thirty minutes before the opening kick off too the first set of games!

“So Mr. Fortred how did you and your team of experts decide on which teams get the chance of playing prime time games such as the Monday night game tomorrow between the Legends and Mushroom dashers?” A commentator asks.

Fortred steps forward clearing his throat out before speaking.

“As you should all know we have been keeping a close eye on all sixteen teams through camp. So using what we saw to be the best performers is how we put the schedule together.” Fortred replies.

“Do you really think you will get much viewers tuning in, or even attending these games? Lets face it is a bunch of amateurs playing against one another?”

Fortred just shakes his head as more and more rude comments are yelled out. Regardless of what the media says, there are many spectators already in the stadiums of the games about too begin. Who knows if it was for the excitement and hype for the event, or maybe some were just curious to see how the whole thing would turn out. Not just that but many sit at home watching the event on flat screen TV’s.


Port Town


The sportscasters sit in a booth some distance above the stadium, getting settled in. The camera’s record them as they speak about the game.

“Behind us is the Big Blue stadium, which is named after this city. And today it will be the F-Zero brutes up against the Dragons who have a very hard hitting D. C-Falcon might have a long day if their running game doesn’t show, The Dragons offence is nothing too special but has a good set of schemes.”

“Don’t mind if I get in Allard I just wanted to add this game will most likely be decided on which team has the fewest mistakes. Neither team has an explosive play maker such as some other teams we’ve seen. In about another minute or two the players should be taking to the field.”

Allard and Ken continue to entertain viewers watching at home as the F-Zero brutes exit out of the tunnel and onto the field to their roaring fans. Captain Falcon comes out last sprinting across the field smiling as some get up to their feet and cheer.


Corneria


Tiny Tiger sits on the sideline staring down at the logo on the side of his helmet smiling. He is very happy with whoever designed their team jerseys and overall uniform, because they did a magnificent job! Tiny looks up at the field with a pounding heart as the ball has been kicked off! The Lylat birds had won the coin toss and elected to receive. Tiny stands to his feet as the ball is caught by Troshi the punt returner. The dino doesn’t get far getting leveled at the nine yard line. The audience lets out a loud roar at this. Troshi is helped up by one of his teammates.

“Alright guys this is it, all of our hard weeks of training must deliver. Just remember your assignment, don’t worry about the other guy next to you.” Falco tells.

He tries hard to get his offence wild up, but can see that most of them are very tense. Falco couldn’t blame them; this was the first time they would be playing in front of billions! Even with the pressure most on him, it only excites him further. Falco takes his offense onto the field to face off against the defense of the Blood Hounds. The audiences at this point are incredibly deafening.

“Remember all together we’re one mind and spirit and can accomplish everything, now let’s put together a drive that will leave them stunned.” Falco tells his offence.

The intensity can be felt among those watching and the players themselves as the huddle is broke. Falco, Knuckles, along with Tiny Tiger wear black visors on their helmets face masks. Lombardi steps back getting into shot gun formation. The ball is snapped to Falco who hands the ball off to Tiny who runs to the left, but ripping through the line is Dedede to drop him for a loss of 2. The crowd boo’s at the result of the play. The next play is quickly run as Falco again hands the ball off to Tiny who gains only one yard trying for the other side.

“Well now it is 3rd and 11, if the Lylat birds do not convert here they will be forced to punt, and what a way for the Birds to open their first home series like this, what a shame.” A commentator speaks.

Falco again works out of the shot gun, signaling for the snap receiving it. A corner blitz is brought on by the defense, with King Dedede coming from one side and a Goron from Hyrule on other. Falco steps up throwing the ball into the chest of Redy, who runs the cross rout. A defender misses a tackle allowing him to pick up three extra yards. The play is a gain of sixteen. The appreciation can be known by the cheering crowd.

“Well the Lylat birds only needed eleven yards but picked up sixteen, and you can see just how much potential Falco has as a quarterback, he put that one into tight coverage.” A commentator tells.

The Lylat birds now stand on their own twenty four yard line. Falco takes the snap moving around in the pocket running to his left. Dedede rips through the line coming after him and as the big bird smashes into Falco he launches the ball deep! It is headed up field toward the right side where Espio is being covered by just one defender. The ball comes down with the defender getting a hand on it knocking it to the side, but jumping over and making a one handed catch is Espio! The defender grabs hold of his waste trying to pull him down but just tumbles and falls. All he can do is watch as Espio runs the remaining yards into the end zone!!

“Touchdown Espio, wow Seventy six yard completion!! I knew coming into this game, this player would have a big game!!”


Station Square


“The weather is great down here in Station Square; the temperature is around Seventy eight degrees with a light rain. The Speedsters won the coin toss but decided to differ, which means the Speed Dodgers will be receiving the ball. The most asked question coming into this game was who would have a more explosive day between that of Shadow the Hedgehog or Bio Rex.”

The commentators continue to speak in the booth with the offence of the Speed Dodgers entering onto the field. Sonic looks around the stadium noticing that basically every seat in the massive stands have been bought out. There must be over thousands of Spectators looking down on them! This doesn’t bother the hedgehog much, as he loves the attention.

“It’s time for us to give them all a show, let’s not disappoint guys.” Sonic tells.

Taking the snap Sonic pitches the ball back to Samurai Goroh. He takes off at full speed to the left side trucking over two defenders, being tackled after a gain of seven. With the next play Sonic gets the snap taking several steps back observing the field. Moving around in the pocket he throws the ball watching as it is caught by his post receiver running a quick slant. The team gains eleven yards, and now are on their own forty two. This time Sonic works out of Shotgun. The hedgehog takes the snap faking it to Samurai Goroh spinning while looking up field. On the left side of the field his tight end is wide open, but decides to go for something much bigger launching the ball deep! In stride is Shadow who is double covered with two defenders on both sides, looking over his shoulder and locating the ball. All three stop at the last second knowing the ball was thrown a bit short jumping for it. A huge pause can almost be felt throughout the stadium with the Hedgehog coming down with the ball, being tackled instantly!

“Wow, are you kidding me! This defense seems to be asleep; they don’t seem to have an answer to stop this offensive power house. I still can’t believe Shadow went up and made that catch, those defenders stand at around 5”9 and 5”10 while Shadow is barely passed 4”5. All I can say is this individual has hops, but we have to give credit to Sonic who put the ball right in the middle, or else that ball would have been intercepted.”

The audience is loud with much excitement, watching as the Speed Dodgers move up onto the 25 of the Speedsters.

“Nice catch Shadow, for a moment there I was worried that play would end in disaster.” Sonic congratulates his teammate as they get into their positions.

While in Shotgun Sonic hands the ball off to Samurai Goroh who runs up the middle for three yards. On 2nd down Sonic takes the direct snap running from the pressure brought on by the D. He throws the ball with it being caught by Shadow for a gain of 13 on a simple slant. The offence now moves up to the nine yard line of the Speedsters.

“Let’s go Speed Dodgers, get that ball into the end zone and shove it in their face!” Amy jumps up excited. “Come on Sonic I know you can do it!”

The offence has trouble on the first and 2nd down only picking up four yards, left with a 3rd and 6. Many fans within the stands sit with crossed fingers, hoping for six points. Sonic punt fakes to Shadow looking over and throwing to another receiver in the corner of the end zone. The receiver catches the ball but is tackled not maintaining possession. This play results as an incompletion bringing up 4th down. Sonic and company get off the field as the field goal unit comes on. The ball is kicked going straight up the middle, giving the Speed Dodgers a 3 point lead.

“Wow this must be heartbreaking for the SD’s; they had such a good drive and only have three points to show for it.”

Much more time progresses throughout the day, with the battles in stadiums to try and receive win number one.


Isle Delfino


It is within the 4th quarter with only seven minutes left to play. The Ultra brothers lead over the Bleach bros 38 to 24.

“It looks like a timeout has been called down on the field by the Ultra brothers. What the Bleach bros need right now is to stop Mario and this offence on 3rd and eight, they need two touchdowns to still have a chance to run off with this win.”

During the timeout Rosalina runs her group of cheerleaders through a simple routine keeping the audience entertained. Both teams come back on the field getting in position, for this crucial down. Mario drops back as the pocket collapses with the pressure getting to him. Mario goes down hard while being sacked loosing six yards. Storm the Albatross shakes his head disappointed with the result of the play. He walks over to the sideline along with Mario.

“Well it looks like it is up to our D to make a stop, I have faith in them.” Storm walks over sitting on the bench next to Mario. “Let’s pray that we can close this thing.”

Mario nods agreeing with Storm looking up at the score board. Storm looks across the field at Rosalina who glimpses back in his direction at a particular individual. He had noticed this action several times through the game and it became obvious to him that she has a crush on Mario. Not wanting to keep it to himself, he reaches over patting Mario on the shoulder pad.

“I just have a quick question for you. Um is Rosalina like your girl fr..” Storm stops in mid sentence. “Just forget it; I’m sure it’s nothing.”

Mario looks up at his teammate a bit worried. Both watch as Waluigi completes a seven yard pass to Kirby. With the next play Waluigi takes the snap handing the ball to Vector the croc that is taken down by Petey Piranha trying to make a cut up the right side.


Cloud Spires


“This has been a great game so far, the Cheetahs lead by just seven with the score being 21 to 28. But with just under three minutes to play, time is running out on the hammerheads. Both teams still have one timeout remaining, so this game is not over yet.”

The Hammerheads lineup at their own 32 getting ready for what could be the final drive of the game! Jak sends a man in motion taking the direct snap while in shotgun. He looks up field but can’t seem to find much of anything dumping the ball off to the running back. Hammerbro runs straight up the middle picking up fourteen easy yards. The defense was playing deep zone making it an easy gain. The Hammerheads make their way up to the forty six yard line. Jak receives the ball dropping back with the defense bringing a zone blitz. Running to his left he throws the ball over the head of Gloshi who reaches out making the catch running up the sideline dodging one defender before bumping helmets with another and falling. The team picks up seventeen yards. The defensive coordinator pulls a few players off to the side infuriated with the coverage on the play. Jak takes his offence into a hurry up mode, working in the shotgun formation. Stepping forward is Jak making an adjustment at the line; the team is just forty one yards away from a touchdown.

“We came here today to leave an impression, and that is what I will follow out and do.” Jak tells.

Dropping back Jak throws a screen to Hammerbro who only picks up two yards. It is at this time that the 2 minute warning goes off. Jak takes this opportunity going over to the sideline.

“Now that we’re down to the last two minutes, we need to burn some time off while trying to score. It’s time to start using some of the play action deep set of plays.” The head coach tells.

After the short time both teams return back onto the field, ready to finish the final minutes of the ball game. Jak drops back with the ball in hand looking and throwing to Daxter who is immediately tackled picking up five yards. The offence now faces a 3rd down and three. Jak licks a finger signaling for the ball and getting it. He guns the ball into the chest of his tight end on a curl route. The Hammerheads gain another five yards. With the next play the team goes with a play action fake to Hammerbro fooling the defense who tackles him almost instantly. Jak moves out of the pocket quickly while looking up field. He finds something that he likes stepping up and launching a bullet! Daxter jumps up to try and make the catch only to have it tipped and caught! To Everyone’s surprise it was by that of Gloshi who was coming across on a deep post! The dino is finally tackled after picking up two extra yards. Jak yells out demanding the rest of his offensive players to get down to the twelve yard line so that he could spike the ball. Everyone hurries down getting into their set positions as Jak does just that. All that remains on the clock now is just 45 seconds, with both teams with one timeout each. Most the audiences stand to their feet, the intensity of the game has just doubled! Jak takes his offence into a huddle.

“Alright this is it guys, just like what they say its games like this that champs win. We started off being down 7 to 21, now let’s just punch it in and tie this thing.” Jak speaks loud getting his players hyped.

The team comes out of the huddle with much confidence getting into their positions. Jak drops back with the ball in hand throwing to Daxter who is tackled for a loss of three. On 2nd down and 13 the defense brings heavy pressure down the middle. Jak notices this throwing the ball into the end zone with his post receiver making the catch! This quiets most of the home team’s crowd. The kicker comes onto the field for the extra point attempt. The snap along with the kick are good, but someone gets a hand on it causing it to bounce the opposite direction! Fortunately for the Hammerheads it is caught by the kicker who tries to run the ball into the end zone. He is denied being taken down by a group of defenders, and with only 24 seconds left on the clock the game is over!

“What a series of events, this game is goanna haunt the Hammerheads for weeks to come.” A commentator tells.

Ratchet has taken a knee to end the game. The Reindeer beat the Golden knights 45 to 35. With the passing of a few more minutes all games come to an end. Fortred prepares himself for yet another press conference; hopefully the media have changed their views on the event. At the universe wide sports station a set of commentators recap the games played for the viewers.


“Welcome back everyone, I am here with my associate Kara, and boy has it been a great event so far.”

“Yes you are right Victor; we will begin with that of the Bloodhounds vs. The Lylat birds. What began as a close game fell apart for one side; we’ll take you down to Corneria live.”

On one of the T.V. screens in the studio appears a man who stands on the sideline.

“Hello to you Kara, Just as you were saying this game started off close until the injury of Falco Lombardi in the start of the 2nd quarter. He is the one who scored the team’s three touchdowns connecting with Espio twice along with Redy the red yoshi once. The final score ended in 59 to 24, this was truly a disappointment for the fans and the Lylat Bird organization. What really killed this team today were the five interceptions by Garldo, the backup QB to Falco, three of which were run back for touchdowns.”

The sports caster pauses for a second sending footage to the commentators.

“As you can see in this video Wolf O’Donnell walks over to the sideline of the birds taunting the injured Falco with the closing seconds of the game. Corneria fans must pray for Lombardi to have a speedy recovery, or this team might find themselves struggling just to get even one win. On another note both defenses played extremely well, it was the offence of the Lylat which seemed to roll over.”

“Thanks a lot for the inside, but now we’re goanna move on to the match up of the Dragons vs. the F-zero brutes, which was quite an enjoyable game. The ending score in this one was 21 to 24 with the Dragons taking the victory.”

The commentators continue on talking about the different games.

While the rest of the players head into the locker room, Mario stands on the sideline while being interviewed.

“So it must feel really good to win, so how did your team prepare for this game?”

Mario does not answer right away giving the question some thought.

“We actually didn’t have a real plan coming into this’ a game. But we will be better prepared for our opponents in week 2, seeing as there will be video footage to look off of.” Mario replies.

“In your opinion, who will win the Sunday night match up later? Will it be the Primates or Seals?”

Mario has no knowledge of either team deciding not to respond.


Hyrule


Link lays back bench pressing with the door to his left side opening. Entering is Princess Peach, Link quickly stops trying to reach for his shirt but is grabbed by the wrist. Peach sits down by his side moving her fingers over his forearm. She wears a white skirt with a blue trim along the edges as well as a sky blue shirt.

“Wow Link you sure are strong, so are you ready for the big night tomorrow?” Peach asks.

She takes her hands off him, realizing that he might be uncomfortable with those actions by her.

“Yeah I’d say so, all of us might be a little nervous but we’re definitely ready. Is there something you wanted to ask me?”

He knew there had to be something, why else would she randomly come into the men’s workout room. The princess leans back a bit putting one leg over the other looking up at Link.

“No not really, but I did however want to say thank you for being so kind to me over the past weeks. I’m not really too accustomed to Hyrule and all so thank you.”

“Don’t mention it; I try to do the best I can.” Link replies.

Peach moves over closer to Link putting one hand on the side of his face. Link does nothing as she rubs her hand over his face. What she does next scares the hylian, but in a good way! She brings her face close to his pressing her lips up against his! It is at this time that she wraps her arms around his neck embracing into a deeper kiss! Link’s eyes widen as her tongue enters into his mouth. Link decides to go along with this reaching over and wrapping an arm around her waste. Peach pushes off of him almost immediately hearing the sound of footsteps near the door. The princess stands walking a few ft away from Link before turning and looking back at him.

“See you later cutie.” Peach says seductively.

Peach blows him a kiss before exiting the room. The hero of time can’t believe what he had just done, wasn’t Peach Mario’s girl?!! How could he have done that? But it wasn’t his fault, she came on to him. Link tries not to worry about it putting his shirt on. Besides he has a big game coming up against the Mushroom Dashers lead by that of Luigi.
