Chapter Eight: Entering the Video Game

*A/N: Finally we are getting to the video game entering stage. The arc of getting to know our main characters is finally over! Damn, it took me eight chapters. Enjoy this one, if you haven't given up on this cuz the slow pace.*

To say that I was totally not expecting this is not a lie. I know, considering my family, I should expect everything. I don't, so shut up and get over it. The moment I pressed the ready button, Bucky, Hermione, Draco, and I all were transported into the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The game came out fifteen years ago, but I saved the creator's life--so he gave it to me a choice of this one or the new one. I wanted the older one so he could make more money off the new one.

Now I am currently wearing a Hyrulian green dress and have elfin ears, as you can guess I am Zelda. Bucky is in a blue armor with an orange headband and cape. His hair and eyes are the cerulean color and he holds a two handed sword in one hand. His character's name is Ike.

Hermione was--what?!--a blonde! She played a blonde bounty hunter in a blue technological suit with a helmet. Hermione's name for this game was Samus, Samus Aran.

Draco was a different story altogether. His silver eyes stayed and then his silver hair turned a lighter blue than Bucky's but not by much. He wore regal-looking blue and gold armor that had a cavalry sword within its sheath. Draco, taller than me by three inches still, smiled at his reflection. I rolled my eyes at the boy's antics. "I think this suits me rather well." He said with an arrogant grin. After explaining who his character was, Draco immediately picked Marth. Not for his fighting ability, oh no, for his rank. Marth was the exiled prince of Altea. However, to Draco, once a prince always a prince. I hate aristocrats when they think like that.

"Right, what are we going to do now?" Hermione asked us.

"I have no clue. Maybe we should play through the game and see what leads us home." I said a bit dejected. I wanted to see baby Alexei.

"I second that plan. We have no idea what we are up against and as of now we are behind enemy lines. Rosie Doll, you have played this before correct?"

"Yeah, Renegade, why?"

"What can you tell us of the mode we are in?"

"Umm... well it is a tournament. We chose to have sixteen starting competitors including ourselves. That means we all fight in the preliminary round. The roster of who fights what match is totally random so we may need to fight each other. Once eight people are knocked out, we go on to four matches of two. Then four people are disqualified and we have two matches of two. The final round is one match of two. The winner wins the tournament." I explained to my companions.

"So you're saying that we may need to fight each other before we can get out of the game?" Draco said finally speaking up from his pensive state.

"Sadly yes."

"Well, we have no choice if it gets us home. Do we all agree with this?"

The four of us nod and look at who is fighting who in the preliminaries. I got Link, Samus--I mean Hermione--had Mario, Draco got to fight Peach, and Bucky got Fox. I was up first. Crap. A portal started glowing blue to take me to the stadium's fighter entrance. Another portal, this time the color orange, appeared to Bucky and the others to the stands. I moved towards the blue when Bucky grabbed my hand. He spun me around to look at him. "Good luck." He kissed me softly and let me go.

"I don't need luck. I have a brain not a program." I said cheekily and ran into the blue portal.

I landed in the stage Bridge of Eldin. I like this stage and I am good at it. I can do this.
