Smash Bros Football crossover story(Galaxy Ball)

Galaxy Ball

CHP1: Gathering






Within a galaxy far from any other was a place of immense ferocious competition. Fortred the ruler of the planet Quifeza observed in dismay as his all-star football team the Shreds were subjugated by the defending champions of a rival planet. They were known as the Flame Wolves. The score ended 17 to 51. The game was his team's last chance at the playoffs. So many things went through his mind, but what unsettled him most was he put the entire planets currency on the line. In other words forfeited his entire planet's reserves! He was approached by the coach of the rivaling team.

"Your team isn't awful, but we could have detained them to only three. We wanted the fans to have somewhat an enjoyable game here at your home stadium. You have a year to get all of your planets fortunes to Cosbo." Phelm spoke.

The two went their separate ways heading to their individual locker rooms. Players from the winning team got interviewed on the field. Fortfred gave a long agonizing speech to his players, before leaving the dome sooner than usual. He traveled over to a large capital building, where the globe leaders assembled. He entered the room to see that everyone already anticipated his arrival.

"You don't have to inform us Fortred, we saw the ending result. We just need to know why you thought it clever to put this planet's future in jeopardy! You took a huge gamble and lost!" One said.

"Do you think it smart to sacrifice this planet over a team game?! You're out of your damn mind! 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 all planets in this 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 best!

Over thirty different people sat at the long table, in opposition back and forth! Fortred finally shouted over them getting everyone's attention. He took a seat at the end of the table with crossed arms.

"I know I messed up big, but I think there is a way I can renovate this. I want you all just to listen in and don't ask any questions until I am entirely finished."

The room was soundless as he spoke. There was not much a choice, which led to all agreeing with his bail out arrangement.


Days later


One of the greatest heroes acknowledged by the people of the mushroom kingdom walked through the castle. He gazed around at the various different photos lost in his bottomless train of thought. The moment however was short lived.

"Mario, Mario get down here! I think we might have a problem!" Toad shouted.

The Plumber ran down the many stairs, looking out a window. His eyes broaden to see what seemed to be a multitude of unknown creatures.

"Stay here, I'm going out there to see what this is all regarding."

Toad grabbed Mario by the waist keeping him from going.

"Do you think it's the princess they are here for?"

"Don't know, and won't find out just standing around. Stay here; I'm not sure what their intentions are."

Mario pulled his arm from Toad's grasp exiting the front entrance. The plumber looked around, staggered at the magnitude of the colossal grouping. He took a few steps forward as two of them drew near. They stopped in front of him. Mario shook a bit uneasy.

"Don't be fearful human, we come in peace. 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 asked.

Mario gulped bewildered and fascinated on how the individual knew his name.

"Mamma Mia, how'd 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 money! 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 looked up puzzled, wondering exactly why this information was being given to him. The piece about the trading with other planets confused him further.

"I don't see how this is my problem, I couldn't help even if I wanted to. By the sound of it your planet has lost over trillions and trillions of a coins! Not even the Princess would be able to assist you. Can't your neighboring planets, help somehow?"

"That is not how things work. The leaders of each planet don't help unless getting something in return. We have nothing to supply. We basically have nothing left. But there is still hope."

"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. Anyway, this is the only chance we can make the massive bucks. Do you follow?"

"Not exactly." Mario replied.

"We need sixteen teams put together. Just so you are not confused, 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 amongst most in our galaxy."

Mario jumped back putting his hands in front of him.

"Woooohh hold on a sec, I don't play that form of football! Tennis, Kart racing, basketball and lots of other things but not that. Do you understand what you're asking of me, it's a waste of time? Go find someone from your home planet, or someplace else. The sport itself is terrific, but why have you come to me? My answer is no"

The alien life forms were quite for a little while before continuing.

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

Mario crossed his arms looking up at them. A small smile escaped his face.

"If'a Bowser is taking part than you can count me in as well, but you must explain to me further how everything is going to work. How is sports going to get your planet back up, do you know how insane that sounds? And how am I supposed to trust you beings?"

"Trust me Mario, it will work. I will tell you some of the small details you will need to be familiar 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 eight months to prepare. Of course there will be a tryout evaluation session that'll take place."

"I'll go through this process and then decide from there." Mario replied.

The Mushroom Kingdom's hero was stunned by the latest development and wasn't sure if the group could be trusted. There was something shady about them, but for the time being decided to go with the flow.

"A stadium will also be built for each team. Each selected captain/Quarterback will chooses where it will be built. Our experts can put them together within three weeks to a month. 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 words, a huge space ship shined its luminosity over the aliens. They were zapped into the ship. Mario turned away for one second, and the space shuttle was gone. Toad ran out of the castle, standing next to Mario. He thought hard again, trying to figure how they knew who he was. He had a bad feeling they might even be plotting to capture the princess. Donkey Kong, and especially Bowser didn't seem likely they'd agree to such terms from space aliens.

"So what is it they want?" Toad inquired.

"I'll explain when Luigi returns with the princesses."


Many dimensions away


A Lombax worked on the vehicle of a civilian. A large quantity of energy formed in the sky as a huge space shuttle appeared shooting a huge radiance down onto the grassy meadow. The alien creatures were now on a planet called Veldin. The aliens walked over toward the Lombax working on an automobile near an edifice site.

"I take it you're Ratchet?" One of them asked.

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

"Yes I am. How can I be of assistance?"

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

Ratchet listened as he was given the information. He was skeptical, but decided to join in an attempt to help. Just as Mario didn't fully trust them. The aliens decided to split into three different space ships to cover more ground quickly, leaving the planet afterwards. Another portal opened over an island where an orange bandicoot snoozed under a tree. An additional Bandicoot lifted weights nearby. The bandicoot dropped the pounds as the aliens approached.

"Are you Crash bandicoot?"

"No, that's him over there. Is there a message you'd like me to give him when he awakes?"

"I guess that makes you Crunch, you will also work well for what we require."

He was given the proposition, and agreed to their offer. He spoke for Crash and himself. Worlds away in a hefty city, lasers were fired back and forth. A wolf jumped up with two blasters in his hands shooting at a Fox who returned fire. The Fox jumped behind a wall considering his next move. They'd been going at it for quite some time and wanted to end things sooner rather than later.

"What's going on down there Fox? Do you need back up?"

"Don't worry about me Krystal, I want you and Falco to battle the enemies in the sky." Fox replied through his communications mouth piece.

A portal formed in the sky getting the attention of both Fox and Wolf. A light from the ship shined in front of them both. The aliens appeared in a flash with both Fox and wolf aiming their weapons at them.

"There's no need for that, we aren't looking to battle Fox McCloud and Wolf O'Donnell."

Wolf was astounded unintentionally dropping one of his blasters. Fox lowered his weapon, interested to see what they had to say.

"We seek your support, which includes you both. I have been doing this for a while now, so don't ask any questions until after I've finished."

The same information was given to them, just as numerous others. Both Fox and Wolf stood in place speechless. That was until a chuckle escaped Wolf's mouth.

"I don't know who you take me for, do you seriously think I would devastate my schedule helping a dull 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 exceptional records?"

"Who do you think I am, you just got done saying your planet doesn't have much left." Wolf replied.

"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 crossed his arms while lively.

"I think I might be interested in this, how long do we have to make a decision?"

"I need an answer now. And if you say no, well then you'll be forced to take part and we don't want that."

Both Corneria fighters were soundless as the moment itself became intense! Fox stepped to the side, contacting one of his teammates. Not even a minute passed as Falco descended his vehicle onto the ground. He joined by Fox and Wolf. The leader of the Star Wolf team 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 asked a bit agitated.

"Quiet down Lombardi, these creatures have a promising proposition for us all." Wolf spoke.

Falco stood as the information was given. His eyes narrowed at some of what was said. Nevertheless did not back down from a challenge. He was the first of the three to agree to their terms. Both Wolf and Fox agreed to it shortly after.

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

A laugh escaped Wolf.

"Do you actually think I am that irrational to do such a thing? I don't think so." Wolf replied.

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

"What is the draft?" Fox asked.

"It is what will be the method for putting all sixteen teams together. But the evaluation process must take place first."

The three of them agreed long as they could carry their weapons aboard. Krystal as well as panther joined them before entering. They did not return to their home planet immediately, the alien life forms continued traveling the many different galaxies recruiting participants. The process lasted for what felt like hours. It was then they returned to their home world. The many different chosen recruits touched down on the planet of Quifeza, on different spacecraft's. Tiny Tiger stepped out of a ship, looking around to see what appeared to be hundreds of different inhabitants. Dingodile stood right behind him, as the alien race led the enormous group into a large dome of some sort. The many participants started conversations amongst each other. A familiar blue hedgehog stood within the crowd, among a group of his allies. Mario was amazed at the amount of people within the space; several hundreds of recruits were present.

"I can't believe how much this place is packed, wow this is getting me excited!" Sonic glimpsed around.

Knuckles stood next to him, with his arms crossed.

"You don't seem too excited. We must have lost Amy and tails in this large crowd." Sonic looked at Knuckles directly.

Knuckles did not reply, as someone stepped onto a podium in front of the crowd. The person picked up a microphone, as everyone quieted 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 fourteen regular season games. There will be four teams to a division."

Everyone listened as the rules and regulations were 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 try out for. Granted you will eventually be rotated into all in the course of the next two days. We will assess each of you in depth and see what position best suits you."

Each individual headed over to the area of his or her interest. It took over twenty minutes before everyone was completely in place. Sixteen alien beings stepped onto the stage/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 eight 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 evaluation process will begin now."

Chp2: The draft






Someone approached Fortred whispering into his ear. Whatever it was seemed important, resulting in the nod of his head multiple times. He cleared his throat putting the microphone up to his lips.

"All individuals within this dome that aren't interested in on field positions can ignore what I am about to say. You can apply for cheerleading or other organizational positions to a specific team when drafted. As far as those that are, the position that you currently stand in will not positively be the position you will play. You will be evaluated in each position before and during training camp, after you have been selected to a team." Fortred said.

Everyone listened quietly as he continued.

"Before the draft begins would like to look you all over and let the owners determine which individuals they'd like to draft and at which position. This will also give our team owners a better understanding of each and everyone's physical endurance. That way they will have a less difficult time selecting. Our residence here is massive with more than enough rooms which each and every one of you will be assigned for the next two days."

Those not interested in on field positions remained in the large space, as Fortred directed everyone else outside onto six different fields. They started everyone up with running laps from the 10 yard line to the 30 and back a couple times over.


2 days later


Fortred had the participants spread out on both sides of the field. Outside the premises some were escorted onto an enormous meadow. Once the groups were put into different lines, a football was placed on the ground in front of each individual that stood at the front of each line.

"I want you all to listen closely. The first exercise we will be revisiting is 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."

It wasn't much longer that the event began. A large machine was set on the field, its function to record how far the ball traveled through the air after touching down on the turf. Getting through the first Thirty Eight participants the furthest thrown ball was for just twenty five yards. Fortred's sport staffers were dissatisfied.

"We better start seeing something better than this!" One staffer shouted.

He looked down at his sheet calling up the next contestant.

"Up next is Link, from Ordon village."

The Hylian stepped forward stretching his arms before bending down and picking up the ball. He focused in, practicing his throwing motion. Link took a few steps back releasing the football! It was a moment of silence as the ball gliding through the air with a perfect spiral. Link's heart rate increased watching the ball zip down its path. It finally touched down far up field! The sport staff members all looked to 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 slammed 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 applauded the Hylian who just grinned scratching at the side of his head. The individual recovered his materials from the ground as they continued on.

"Next up we have Vector the Croc."

Vector threw for just Twenty seven yards. The day progressed on as many showed off their throwing skills. Link's throwing distance was eventually surpassed, as Donkey Kong threw for 78 yards! Many others showed good potential at the position of quarterback. After some time, the sport staff members began moving people into different groups. Using their stats and information from the exercise, they kept only sixteen participants out of the large group that showed the best potential. The sixteen of them stayed within the quarterback practice session. A group was created for every offensive and defensive position. If someone didn't do well in a group, they were sent to another.

"Well, you must be the lucky sixteen!" A representative said laughing, "But Hey after being drafted to a team your position could still change."

He glimpsed over the papers on his clip board, looking at the group of participant's information.

"I'd say by the looks of it, all sixteen of you have secured your spot at the quarterbacking position. Each of you threw for at least forty yards or more, with good balance and technique. You guys did much better than most everyone else. And as I said before, 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 was given time to introduce themselves amongst each other. Some did not require doing so already knowing one another.

Mario walked over shaking hands with Sonic, remembering him from the couple Olympic Games both took part in. The two were approached by Ratchet, who introduced himself. Luigi joined his brother's side. The environment was pleasant and looked forward to what the future had in stored for them.

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

Sonic placed a hand on the back of Luigi.

"Don't worry pal, I'm sure this entire event will turn out to be a grand experience," Sonic replied looking to Mario, "And competing against you again will be a joy if that happens."

Both the hedgehog and Mario felt the same. Captain Falcon started a conversation with Jak and Link. It wasn't much longer the group was given more drills to go through. Throughout the elongated pasture, the different groups continued to work intensely. As time went by an hour turned to hours! All groups were eventually summoned back to the dome. That time each individual was directed to which area they would sit. Fortred reentered shortly after everyone was settled into their position.

"Now that we have seen you all in depth with forms of exercise and football drills, the draft is ready to begin. We will start with first round picks." Fortred informed.

The majority of the mass applauded Fortred as he left the stage. The team owners looked over the information of all the participants. The dome was enormously soundless. A set order in which each owner would select had already been determined. Hec looked up from the papers, making a decision.

"For my first pick, select Knuckles the Echidna at the running back position."

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

"For my first round pick, I select King Dedede at the Linebacker position."

The process continued for an extensive period of time, as each franchise owner continued selecting players to their teams. This left some of the participants displeased, given they were being separated from friends or family. It took another few hours before the entire process was complete. Something that was clear for some teams, was being short a few players. Fortred stepped back onto the podium.

"I'm sure you are all thankful 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, I would like all team captains to come up here on stage."

The individuals did as they were told, and were directed to their franchise owner where they came up with team names and location of each individual squad's stadium. Everyone else sat around waiting as the preparations were taken care of. The team names and locations were quickly selected. Fortred stepped forward informing the rest of the participants of the updated information.

"We will give you all 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 constructed." Fortred told.

The participants took the time to do just that. Coco bandicoot spotted Crunch within the area of the running backs. She walked over getting his attention. Crunch turned at his name being called.

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

"I'll be just fine. Still find it hard to believe Crash made it at the Quarterback position." Crunch replied with a laugh.

Coco thought about it for a few moments, before laughing as well. Mario walked through the crowds spotting and walking to Princess Peach who sat beside Daisy. He took a seat next to them both putting an arm around Peach.

"Too bad neither of you will be teammates of mine. Oh well, I'm willing to bet this whole thing will be fun."

Peach could hear the disappointment in his tone, turning to him with a grin. She leaned over kissing him on the cheek. The action caused him to blush, Peach noticing and giggled.

"Don't worry Mario it will be just for a little while. After all this is over things will go back to how they were. I originally figured I'd just join the cheerleading squad, but then I thought hey why not try out for another position and see what happens. Well for now at least I'll be playing Cornerback." Peach informed.

The plumber talked with the two for a little while longer before departing ways. It wasn't much longer all participants were gathered, and put on separate space shuttles that took them to the appropriate destination. The space ships blasted into deep space. Within a shuttle, Jet the hawk sat 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. And of course they said money would be involved, and the better the team the more green!" Captain Qwark said with excitement.

Jet's eyes opened as he looked over at the individual.

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

Jet turned away closing his eyes again.


Planet Ireigiel


The offensive coordinator of the Flame Wolves entered a room sitting down. He was awaited by a group of persons. Cosbo sat 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 somewhat a problem." Cosbo spoke.

He directed his assistant Elisa to his desk. She returned throwing a few folders atop the table. Cosbo opened one of them and had his assistant pass out the papers inside. She did it fairly quickly.

"As you can all see, we're losing 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 are getting tired of it."

Cosbo discussed with his staff a way to resolve the problem. A great distance away, a ship landed within the enormous city of Corneria. After all the passengers exited, it took off into space. Falco Lombardi, being the only one accustomed with the city led everyone to the closes hotel. All checked in except one. Tiny Tiger didn't carry money, leaving only one choice. Falco decided to take the big cat home. It was a decision he wasn't fond of but had no other choice. Pulling a device out of his pocket, used it to call out an Arwing to his position. Falco turned to Tiny as the vehicle drifted to the ground in front of them.

"Let's 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 or might have problems." Falco informed.

Tiny patted Falco over the shoulder smiling showing his prickly teeth.

"No need worry, Tiny not touch a thing."

Falco looked down at him with a frown, making it clear he was serious. Something about the big cat seemed off. Both hopped into the vehicle, as Falco took off into the night sky. They arrived at his place promptly. Getting out of the vehicle Tiny looked around, and was pleased with what appeared to be Falco's weapon's arsenal! There were missile launchers, blasters, many different types of grenades and weaponry! Falco opened a door, which led into the central section of his residence. Tiny was again enlightened by the way things were set up in this space.

"Wow who she, Tiny in love." Tiny Tiger asked, looking up at a picture drooling.

Falco looked over at the picture.

"Oh her…that's Katt. Guess you could say she is somewhat a friend of mine." Falco replied.

"Maybe you call her, see if she join our cheerleading squad! Please, that be real treat?!" Tiny begged.

Falco attempted to say something but stopped. Thinking about what Tiny said, came to a realization wouldn't be such a bad idea.

"I think we might do that, but for tonight should get some rest." Falco replied.

Tiny followed Falco into the living room, which had lots of furniture and a long black leather couch. Tiny leaped onto the couch sitting in front of a big screen T.V. Using the nearby remote but had lots of trouble turning it on.

"If you need anything Tiny just let me know, I'm going to be working on something upstairs." Falco informed.

He didn't like the idea of leaving the big cat alone but just shrugged the thought off. Tiny nodded as a form of response. Falco flipped on a light walking up the stairs. Significantly far away a ship touched down on the field of Hyrule, just outside Ordon village. The passengers exited as the shuttle returned to Quifeza. Link explained to everyone not familiar with his village how things worked. After doing so, most participants set up camp at the exterior of his village. The Hylian looked over at Princess Zelda, who stood next to Princess Peach.

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

Zelda grinned wrapping a scarf around her head, and over her hair. He was absolutely right, and didn't want to take the risk.

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

"I just told them somewhere on Hyrule field, about two miles from the main city." Link replied.

Everyone camped outside of Ordon village, except Link, Peach, and Zelda. Out of the whole group, Banjo and King Boo didn't mind. Not trying to alert any of the villagers, Link directly led both women up into his treehouse. Zelda looked around, only to see one bed. She gazed 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 questioned.

Link looked over at what appeared to be a moody Zelda.

"Don't concern yourself. The two of you can sleep in the bed while I take the floor." Link replied.

Zelda took off the scarf, and Link perceived the relief in her expression.

"Thank goodness, I thought you were going to say something else." Zelda responded.

Peach giggled getting the attention of them both.

"What's so funny?" Zelda asked.

"It's nothing really," Peach chuckled somewhat, "Just listening to your back and forth could see you as a married couple." Peach said giggling some more.

Link smiled whilst Zelda frowned.

"That would never happen. I am a princess of royal blood. My bride to be will be of a royalty. He is nothing more than a mere peasant errand boy." Zelda said.

Link's heart slightly dropped at her words, not that he wanted to be with her or anything. Trying to escape the situation Link decided to go and get them all something to eat leaving the tree house. Peach turned to Zelda.

"I think you may have hurt his feelings, personally I think he's really cute." Peach said.

Zelda took a seat on the bed laying back.

"You shouldn't worry, I'm sure he's fine." Zelda replied.

Within subterranean space, Fortred's inhabitants continued to search for participants to fill the spots they were short. Some being starting positions and even backups. The group was very successful in their mission coming across many individuals. They came across Princess Rosalina giving her the opportunity to join a team as the leading cheerleader due to her gorgeousness or another position of her choice. She was updated on why the event was accruing, and given the option of joining. Looking down on the paper, recognized a familiar name and smirked! She decided to join the team of interest. How things would play out from that point would be a wait and see.

CHP3: Training Camp






Three weeks passed with each team training vigorously within their arenas. Forted sat inside an office alongside the rest his council, discussing details relating to when they'd broadcast their event to other planets. After talking it over decided to set up a press conference. Fortred went around informing everyone.

Podj Island

A stadium had been built for a team called the Seals. The players went through different routines on the practice field. The ball was snapped to Crash who stood under the center handing off to Funky Kong, but stopped immediately by a defender. It was the third day into padded practices, and while Crash wore a red jersey everyone else wore silver. It was used as a way to distinguish the team captain from everyone else. The defense anticipated the previous play coming up the middle with a blitz. The play resulted in a loss of six yards. A defender helped Funky Kong to his feet, afterward both players returning to their positions. The ball again was snapped to Crash, taking a few steps back. He looked down field for his Tight end, a Goron from Hyrule gunning the ball into his chest! The offence picked up thirteen yards before the player ran out of bounds. Funky Kong Looked around at everyone's jersey's which looked to be over twenty years old and tattered.

"Can't wait till they provide us with our actual attire when game day begins in another seven month's or however long we still have! Hopefully our team logo doesn't look screwy." Funky Kong Whispered into Crash's ear.

The bandicoot replied by just nodding. Crash wasn't one to speak much but had certainly made new friends if nothing else.

"Alright everyone, we are going to run one more play before we send you all on break." The head coach spoke.

Crash had difficulties with the communications piece in his helmet, and had to walk off the field getting the play from the offensive coordinator. When done returned to the field. At the line of scrimmage Crash sent Skid Mcmarx in motion. The ball was snapped to him as the defense came with a full force blitz! The Bandicoot looked up field and was hit as he threw. Skid jumped making the catch but was too high falling incomplete. The coach stepped 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 on. Afterward we will return here for some exercises. There is another formation I'd like to incorporate into our practices."

Most players headed directly to the locker room.


Dream Land


The Bleach Brothers were another of the sixteen teams. All players stood in the locker room suiting up. All got ready taking the field afterward. They went about their business quickly as possible. When on the field, players set their helmets to the side. The head coach walked around with a clipboard making certain that all players were on the field, calling off each name. The process finished in minutes with minimal delay.

"Alright gentlemen before we begin our normal practice will start with some cardio. I want you all to be in top shape, so when training camp concludes will scamper through our contesters!"

The group was sent running laps from the end zone to the fifteen yard line and back. They continued doing so for minutes, switching to different workouts after time. One player slowed down getting drowsy. The coach noticed and had the entire group go even longer.

"As a whole you all did very well, don't worry as we continue to exercise you will get stronger and in proper shape. 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 work hard we can do just that."

The players listened to their coach speak aloud. After he was done gave the group a break before the official practice began. The offensive players proceeded to the field with their helmets ready to begin. Waluigi gazed at the plays strapped to his arm. He called 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 pass to Kirby. I need you players on the line to do a good job, unlike the last few days. Their blitz packages are something we need to overcome." Waluigi said.

The huddle was broken with the offensive players getting into position. The defensive players joined them on the field shortly after. The ball was snapped to Waluigi as a group of defenders ripped through taking him down. The defensive coordinator applauded his defense. Waluigi was helped to his feet by Vector the Croc. The Offensive players followed Waluigi back into the huddle.

"As I said before, I need the line to hold up longer. This time we are going QS2, I want all receivers up field. If they are thinking, the defense will play cover two."

The huddle was broken as each player returned to his proper position. Waluigi took the snap and instantly saw the blitz. Waluigi ran to his right trying to avoid another sack, but grabbed from behind as he released the ball. The pass was intercepted but the defender didn't get far tackled by an offensive lineman. Waluigi shook his head aggravated. He again directed 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 looked at the plays on his arm band, choosing yet another play. The offence got back into their positions. But Waluigi picked up the blitz before the ball was snapped to him. He sent Kirby in motion. The instant the ball was snapped, Waluigi moved around in the pocket looking up field. His line held the defenders long enough for him to launch a rocket! The ball zoomed out soaring into the air, with an almost perfect spiral. Kirby was alone with the closes defender a good five yards back. With much concentration the pink being jumped making the catch! He ran for another fifteen yards before leaping into the end zone and celebrating. A smile appeared on the face of Waluigi very pleased with the play. It was a completion of 47 yards.

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

The Croc smiled ecstatic with the play. Kirby returned down the field only to be taken off to the side. Another receiver was put in, so he could rest up after the long completion.


Hyrule Field


The team known as the Legends trained hard on the practice field. Link walked off the field and over to the offensive coordinator. The Hylia put his arm up, pointing to a specific play on his arm band.

"I like the route Banjo runs this play, but we have both seen his speed and think his route should change. The other receivers are fine, but I believe we should make adjustments to this play, so we can hit Banjo up field a little further." Link suggested.

The coordinator opened his play book, looking for Play S1. He found it after flipping through a few pages, and looked it over. Glimpsing over at Link pulled out a pen.

"I definitely agree with your request; he is a very fast and quick individual. You will now need to throw the ball to this point. The two of you just need to get the timing down."

Someone approached Link from behind tapping at his shoulder pad. He spun around looking directly at Coco Bandicoot. She'd originally been drafted to the Seals but a trade was made for her in exchange for an offensive guard. It was her first day of practice with her new team. She left behind Crash but was now with Crunch. Outside of him wasn't familiar with anyone else.

"I'll do what I can getting up to speed on everything. I don't think we properly introduced ourselves, I'm Coco." She extended an arm.

Link shook hands with Coco giving off a smile.

"Great to have you aboard, you'll surely add depth to our wide receiver core."

Both put on their helmets jogging onto the field. They got into their positions. Coco looked across the way staring into the eyes of the one assigned to guard her. It was none other than princess toadstool/A.K.A Peach. Based from what the coaches had been saying was the team's most athletic CB to that point. Coco gulped getting into her stance. Link stepped back into shotgun formation yelling out to his offence noticing something familiar from the defense. The ball was snapped to Link, who handed off to Crunch. The bandicoot found a hole to run through, lowering his shoulders and was taken down by two defenders. The play resulted in a gain of seven yards. Moving up to the new spot Link took his offence into a huddle.

"Good work so far today, you have all done fine. Let's try play av5." Link said, looking down on his arm band.

The offence returned to their standpoints. The ball was snapped to Link, faking the hand off to Crunch and looking up field. He punt faked to Banjo looking to the other side of the field where he had a player open. Stepping up threw the ball putting a lot of zip on it. King Boo made the catch, but pushed out of bounds after a gain of seventeen yards. The Offence moved up the field as they continued. The ball was snapped to Link, with defenders coming at him from all directions. The pocket collapsed as Link ran forward, stopping in place. Just before the hylia could get rid of the ball was brought down by Peach on a corner blitz!

"Gotcha." Peach said softly sitting atop him

It seemed as though they were in that position for several seconds.

"You gonna sit on me all day?" Link inquired.

"Oh sorry." Her cheeks turned red as she pushed up helping him to his feet.

Before practice could continue a guard from Hyrule ran onto the field. No one knew for what reason, but talked with the coach in private. Afterward Peach was called over to the sideline, joining the two.

"Your practice session is done for the day, Princess Zelda has summoned you to the castle." The Coach informed.

"For what reason?" Peach asked.

"She didn't go into details but requested I escort you back ASAP." The guard replied.

"Ok, let me just get out of all this first." Peach replied.

She removed the helmet from her head undoing the bun she'd tied her hair in, letting it fall. Peach waved to her teammates as she headed into the ladies locker area not far away. After undressing departed with the guard.

Practice resumed shortly after everyone getting into their positions. The first play from scrimmage caught the defense off guard as Link launched the ball into the air! Banjo was double covered running into the end zone all three players jumping for the ball. Surprisingly Banjo came down with the ball! Link and the rest of the offence were delighted, by his great effort. Banjo along with the defensive players walked down the field returning with everyone.

"Wow Banjo that was an amazing catch. You sure do have good hands." Coco said.

Banjo walked over to the hylia, patting him on the shoulder.

"Couldn't have done it without the tremendous pass from him." Banjo replied.

The three smiled together. The head coach walked onto the field.

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

Players on both sides of the ball got into their spots, getting ready for the exercise. Nearly an hour later Princess Peach enjoyed a hot bubble bath within Hyrule castle. The princess looked to the ceiling thinking about her kingdom. It bothered her not knowing if everything was ok. Her thoughts were interrupted as someone knocked at the door. She slid up revealing the upper part of her body.

"Who is it?"

"No need to panic Princess Toadstool, I'm just a messenger sent from the central entrance. I'm just letting you know Princess Zelda will be returning to the castle within the next five minutes."

"Ok, thanks."

The guard left afterward. The Princess finished shortly after, stepping out of the tub drying off with two towels. She wrapped one over her hair, and the other around her body. Making her way out of the bathroom felt refreshed, leaping onto the bed. She laid back gazing upward. It wasn't long before the door to her room opened. She looked up with Zelda standing in the doorway. The princess stepped through letting the door close behind.

"Hope you're enjoying your stay here in Hyrule thus far. The cheerleading practice will commence this evening if you're interested we could overlook it together. But the main reason I summoned you from practice is we're having a huge dinner down in the diner; lots of special guests and what not. I wouldn't have a woman of your status miss out on such an event. By the way how's this room been suiting you?" Zelda asked.

Peach sat up looking at her, as the two smirked.

"Just perfect, plenty of space and a great view of your kingdom through that window. I couldn't ask for more. Oh wait I've been meaning to ask what role you've played in all this? I mean with the whole sporting event?" Peach asked.

"Oh yeah, I guess I never told you. Well of course I'm not taking part on field, and cheerleading isn't exactly something I take part in. I discussed in depth with the league owners running this and in ways am a VIP to the Legends. I've been given free access to the stadium when it's completely built, and any team activities if I so choose. But enough about that, let's get you dressed."

Zelda led Peach to a closet where she could pick out the best dress for the occasion.


Down Town

Station Square


A stadium had been constructed and built for the Speed Dodgers. Special shoes were provided for Sonic, Shadow and anyone else who possessed over the top speed by the league! It slowed them to a playing level of almost everyone. Even so were still the fastest players on the field. The practice was already midway through and had gotten a lot of work in. Sonic handed the ball off to Samurai Goroh who ran up the middle breaking tackles. He was finally taken down after a gain of twelve yards. The offence moved up getting in position again. The ball was snapped to Sonic. A blitz was brought by the defense but the line held. That gave Sonic time, punt faking to Shadow and throwing to Dimz his tight end. They picked up nine yards. Sonic took his offence into a huddle.

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

The huddle was broken as the players got into their spots. Sonic sent one of his receivers in motion taking the snap. The hedgehog stepped back looking up field whilst grinning. He bulleted the ball into the air with a flawless spiral. Shadow out ran everyone with the closes defender ten yards behind. Shadow looked over his shoulder, making the catch running into the end zone for a 51 yard completion. Lots of defenders shook their heads over the blown coverage. Shadow returned down field with the ball.

"Great catch pal, couldn't have done it better myself." Sonic told Shadow.

The head coach came out onto the field, informing the offence to practice the hurry up pace.

"This should be fun, I'm all about speed." Sonic added.

Both the offensive and defensive players got into their positions. The ball was snapped to Sonic who ran to his right, seeing nothing open tossed the ball to his running back. Samurai Goroh picked up over four yards. The hedgehog got his players to the line. The ball was snapped to him Again. Sonic gunned the ball in the direction of Shadow, but a defender knocked it away. Sonic had the ball snapped to him, but a defender came in untouched taking him down for a loss of three. The hedgehog got up instantly shaking it off.

"Watch for the blitz guys, we can't afford to give up yards." Sonic said.

Sonic signaled for the ball receiving it immediately. The Hedgehog scuttled around within the pocket but one of the linemen fell over as two defenders came through. Sonic made a run for it given the breakdown in protection. He dashed off to his left where there was a great deal of green grass in front of him. Sonic picked up fourteen yards before sliding down.


Isle Delfino


A football stadium was built for the Ultra Bros. It came down to the Mushroom Kingdom and or Delfino and the paradise vacation spot was ultimately selected. Mario ran around in the pocket trying to get away from pressure, but was sacked by Petey Piranha for a loss of 8 yards. Petey helped Mario up as both returned to their positions. The ball was again snapped to Mario handing off to Storm the Albatross. Petey Piranha came from the right side taking him down for a loss of three yards. The entire defense applauded 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 days."

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

"Mammia if we want to get something going, I need at least two guys blocking Petey. He is just too disruptive."

Mario discussed with his linemen what he wanted calling the play afterward. Heading to their positions, Mario felt more confident. He took the snap, stepping back a few yards. The defense came with a blitz. Mario slid to his left, looking up field. Petey and another defender broke through the line coming after him as he stepped up throwing. Yoshi made a perfect catch fifteen yards up field, but not taken down immediately as a defender missed the tackle. The dino ran for another ten yards before he was brought down. It resulted in a completion of twenty five yards.

"That is more like it, but aside from that we have one tough defense." Mario said.

Shy Guy shook his head agreeing. Just then someone emerged from up the hill pacing over on the sideline and received whistles from several players. She sort of just ignored their advances taking a seat on a bench licking at a chocolate cone.

"Hey, hey that's enough gentlemen!" The head coach yelled.

All players moved up the field to the where Yoshi was stopped. Mario signaled for the ball stepping back a bit. He found Yoshi, launching the ball into his chest. The Dino made the catch but was taken down by Petey and another defender. They only picked up five yards on the play. The head coach shouted on the sideline getting everyone's attention.

"That will be enough for now, head to the locker and go get cleaned up. After you're done meet with I and the rest of the staff in the team facility."

Everyone did that except Mario. He walked over sitting next to the woman on the bench. He took off his helmet as he did so.

"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be resting up that ankle? How is playing safety by the way?" Mario asked.

"It's enjoyable actually, being able to observe much of the field from the back. By the way you've been doing very well Mario, I mean taking command of the offence and all." Rosalina said.

Mario grinned giving her a hug.

"That is 'a really nice of you. I will see you at the hotel on Sirena beach. I need to go get cleaned up." Mario said.

"Ok see yah later."

The princess took another lick of the cone, watching Mario head to the locker room.


Corneria


It was somewhat a cloudy day in the city of Corneria. The team known as the Lylat Birds, practiced on an open field. Falco Lombardi was drafted as the team's QB and had done a splendid job up to that point. He leaned under center taking the snap, having no receiver open and dumped the ball off to Knuckles the Echidna who picked up two yards. The players got back in position, with the ball snapped to Falco again who handed off to Tiny. The tiger ran over the defenders picking up Twelve yards before running out of bounds. Falco headed up the field with the rest of the players. Immediately took his offence into a huddle.

"We don't have much time left in practice. This will most likely be one of the last play so let's make it count."

Falco looked down on his armband, making a decision. Back in their positions, Falco took the snap. He looked up field to see the defense playing man to man coverage. Looking for his 2nd receiver Espio, threw into double coverage! It was caught but had the ball dislodged out of his grasp by a linebacker.
