July 6th, 2003Preshow Ratchet was sitting in his locker room, inspecting his massive arsenal of weaponry. This was what he wanted, in a different dimension competing with other warriors from different dimensions, this was the life for him. Clank was busy fixing the rocket launcher. Stupid robot, think's I won't win. I mean seriously that guy's a freakin plumber, as far as I can tell his only weapons are a flashlight and a vacuum cleaner. I mean while I was taking out Chairman Drek, this Luigi character was trying to save goldfish out of a toilet bowl. "Once again, Ratchet, you can't underestimate Luigi." The small robot said. "Come on, Clank," Ratchet said, picking up the fixed rocket launcher and checking the sights. "How is he gonna get away from this puppy." "He'll have his way's, his older brother Mario made it all the way to the final's last year." "That's his brother, and besides, I wasn't there last year." "I'm not saying you can't win Ratchet, I'm just saying be careful, he'll be tougher than you think." "Relax, Clank, I didn't come from the other corner of the universe to lose in the first round." ---- Meanwhile, in Luigi's locker room, the Super Mario Brothers were having a big pasta meal, to prepare for Luigi's match. "Hey-a Mario, how am I-a gonna win-a. He's-a got-a huge-a freakin guns-a." Luigi said "Well," Mario replied. "If you're about-a to-a lose, use-a this." Mario pulled a big star from his pocket. "Hey-a Mario, thats against-a the rules-a." "Of course-a it is-a, do you think-a I could've-a beaten Cloud and-a Crono, any other-a way. (>_> <_< >_>) Besides, you probably won't-a need it in-a this-a match, we're pretty-a strong." "OK," Luigi said. "I'm-a ready for him." The Battle Mario sat up in the stands, looking down at the arena, greatly anticipating the upcoming match. Anticipating it mostly because it would give him a chance to see Luigi in some real action, without a vacuum and without himself accompanying Luigi. Also, he was a little curious to see who exactly Ratchet was. Nobody had seen much of him before the tournament and Mario had not even caught a glimpse of him. "GOOHAHAHAHA. Plumber! Here to see your brother get blown into a million pieces?" Mario recognized the voice, and the stench, of Bowser Koopa. Mario looked over his shoulder and saw the spiked reptilian sitting behind him. "I've seen some of the gadgets this guy Ratchet has. Makes that guy Mega Man look like a toaster oven. GOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. TOASTER OVEN. PRICELESS." Bowser pointed over at Mega Man, who was sitting a few rows over. Mario just smiled over at Bowser. "We will-a talk after we see-a who wins-a the match." "You won't be talking much! You'll be in shock after seeing your brother get roasted. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. ROASTED IN A TOASTER OVEN!!! OH I SLAY MYSELF! GOHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!" Bowser couldn't keep big mouth-full-of-teeth shut and just kept on laughing. The stench of his breath was unbearable; it smelled like rotten pasta. Bowser shut up though as the announcer's voice spread throughout the arena. "And now it's time for the match you've all been patiently waiting for!!" The crowd let out a deafening cheer. When it died down, the announcer came back on the mic. "First, coming from the South entrance… is the that loveable cat, he is RATCHET!" Mario watched Ratchet come out of the south entrance, looking carefully at him. He wasn't sure that was a cat. "That is-a no cat like-a seen before-a." Ratchet waived the wrench he brought out with him in the air, trying to shout something that was inaudible to Mario. The announcer came back on. "Errr.. my apologies, the loveable FURRY ALIEN, RATCHET!!" Suddenly there was a loud crash, and Mario realized it was Bowser jumping up and down on the bleacher. The bleacher began to bend under his massive weight. "Where are the GUNS?!?! You brought out a stupid WRENCH over all your GUNS!?!?" Everyone looked over at Bowser. Tommy Vercetti seemed particularly interested in the mention of guns. "And next coming from the north entrance, popularly known as brother to Mario, the ultimate second-fiddle, the one, the only, LUIGI!" Mario looked on anxiously as Luigi stepped out, ghost-sucking vacuum strapped onto his back. Mario rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead. "Oh no! I ah-told-a him not to-a where-a that stupid thing!" Bowser began laughing again, some of his spit flying onto Mario's cap. "GAHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! The vacuum! He's not a plumber he's a maid! AHAHAHAHAHA. He's gonna CLEAN HIS CLOCK ALRIGHT! OHOHOHOHOHO. That was a good one!" A voice from behind them shouted, "Down in front, dumb@$$!". Mario recognized it as Conker the squirrel. Mario just snickered a little, not bothering to look at Bowser's reaction to this. The bell sounded and the fight began. Ratchet, with his wrench in hand, immediately charged Luigi, who suddenly bent over, looking like he was going to tie his shoe. Mario was about to shout something, but apparently Ratchet wasn't expecting this and tumbled over Luigi's crouched form, landing face first on the floor. Luigi stood up and looked around and all Mario could do was shake his head. "Ohhh Luigi!" Luigi had bent down to tie his shoe, and before he knew it, his opponent was gone! This was just one thing to add to his list of worries. Luigi was already sweating bullets of nervousness. He had never fought like this in front of a crowd before! All he could think about was all those people watching him, especially Bowser, who he could see laughing his head off. Luigi turned around quickly and saw Ratchet standing up and tossing his wrench to the ground. "Okay, so you wanna play rough, huh? CLANK!" Luigi was confused, but suddenly a little robot came running from the south entrance, carrying a very large gun. He started backing up as fast as he could. Luigi could hear Bowser shouting something in the background as the little guy tossed Ratchet the gun. "I call this my Devastator!" "Mama mia!" Luigi was quite some distance from Ratchet when the gun fired, releasing a very large missile headed straight for Luigi. He was so confused, so nervous, he did the first thing he could and ducked. When he tried to duck, his rather large nose his the button on the vacuum, which sucked up the approaching missile. Luigi looked around, confused a little bit, but then hit the expel button on his vacuum and shot a burst of flame right back at Ratchet. Ratchet dove from it however and the flame ball veered a little and was headed straight towards Mario. Luigi gasped. "Sorry Mario!" All he could see now was his brother's smoke covered face, burning hat, and charred mustache. Oh yeah, and Bowser laughing his head off. Before Luigi could say anything else another missile was flying towards him. This time he rolled to dodge it and fired another burst from his vacuum at Ratchet. This burst hit Ratchet's Devastator head on, and before it could explode Ratchet tossed it away. "CLANK" This time the robot tossed Ratchet a weird looking glove. "I call this, my bomb glove." Luigi didn't like the sound of this and tried to launch another fire blast from his vacuum, but only smoke came out of the pipe. "Ooohh nooo!" The bombs came flying quickly at Luigi, and instinctively he starting sucking them up from the air, right into his vacuum. All was good, until he felt a weird rumbling from the backpack of his vacuum. "Uh-oh". Running away, he quickly slipped off the backpack and threw it over at Ratchet. It exploded and sent Ratchet flying a few feet. Luigi had ducked, pulling his green hat over his head. When he looked out he saw the blast didn't get Ratchet completely, but clearly damaged his bomb glove. "CLANK!" He shouted. Luigi was worried. He had no vacuum, and Ratchet seemed to have an unlimited supply of weapons. He realized he would have to rely on his strength, wits and cunning… but he quickly remembered he had no strength, wits, and cunning. All Luigi could think about is what Mario would do in this situation… and he remembered! The star! He didn't want to use it because he thought it was cheating, but since Ratchet was getting help from Clank, it didn't matter anymore. Ratchet began to shout over there, cockily. "This is my Morph-O Ray. Time for you to lose, Luigi!" Luigi grabbed the star from his pocket, and just as the beam fired at him, Luigi began to flash a brilliant silver color. When the beam hit him, it bounced right off into multiple directions, creating multiple beams. A few of the beams just hit the stadium ceiling, one hit a random fan in the crowd, one hit Clank, and another hit Bowser. All the beam's victims were turned into chickens. Ratchet was too distracted. He ran over to Clank, who was now a weird cross between a robot and a chicken. Luigi was fixated on the scene that Bowser, now a rather large chicken, was creating. The whole stadium was in pandemonium. He was going around randomly pecking people. One of those people was Link. "I'll take care of this!", Luigi could hear Link shout, and he saw Link raise his sword and start whacking the Bowser-chicken with it. Suddenly, clucking could be heard in the distance. As if they were coming out of thing air, chickens started raining down from the ceiling, flapping their wings wildly and landing among the stadium's fans. They were pecking away, but most of them were going for Link. "What-a is going on-a? The star's effect had worn off by now and Luigi was just watching all the craziness created by the chickens in the stadium. Ratchet was busy chasing after Clank the chicken, who was making a b-line straight Luigi. Clank tried pecking at Luigi's leg. "CLANK! CLANK! Come back! Sorry Clank!" Luigi jumped back a little, away from the chicken. Ratchet suddenly looked over at him. "This is your fault! You turned Clank into a dumb chicken! I'll beat you without my weapons then!" Ratchet charged at Luigi, but now that he was weaponless, Luigi was a bit more confident. He leapt over the charging alien and landed very close to wear he tossed his wrench earlier. Luigi picked up the wrench and threw it at Ratchet, who got hit square in the back of the head. Luigi then leapt again, landing right on Ratchet's head with his very large boot. Luigi bounced off of Ratchet's head and landed right behind him. Ratchet looked a little dazed and in pain, so Luigi added to this by giving him a huge dropkick right to the butt. Ratchet flew a few feet and landed face first. Luigi leapt again, this time landing on Ratchet's back with both feet. He could tell Ratchet was down for the count. The announcer came on the loudspeaker. "AND WE HAVE A WINNER! LUIGI! Thank God that's over and done with, now hopefully those who have been turned into chickens can go to the medical ward and be turned bac-AHHHH! GET OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID CHICKENS! AHHHHH!" Aftermath The Arena Luigi has won the battle, which was a very hard fought battle with Ratchet. He left for his locker room after some of the chickens pecked at the beaten body of Ratchet. "You-a beat me? HA! That wasn't even-a close, you-a furry alien thing-a." said Luigi. Ratchet, after an hour of being out cold and the chickens pecking the ever loving you-know-what out of him, left for his locker room. He had felt angry about the finish of the match. I've should of used the RYNO, that could of won for me. But, at least I'll get respect of my fellow friends for this battle. ---- Luigi's Locker Room. Luigi and Mario were celebrating the win for little bro. "I told-a you that Ratchet couldn't beat-a one of the Marios-a." said Mario. Luigi was standing around and told Mario, "Hey-a, Mario. Don't you got to fight that-a Captain Olimar fella in this-a tourny?" "Yeah. But-a, we need to celebrate-a little, Luigi. You kinda need to relax-a. You won't fight again for at least-a another month." "It's-a Squall next for me...I'm sure-a that this 'sullen and mysterious' hero-a will be no match for the mighty Luigi!" With that, Mario left and Luigi celebrated by himself. ---- Ratchet's Locker Room Ratchet sat by his lonesome with all of his weapons near him. All of this high-tech weapondry and he couldn't win the match. "What luck...I have all of this weapondry, and I lose to a stinking plumber." Just then, Clank (Who's back to normal now) walks into the locker room along with a couple of Ratchet's friends. "Jak, Daxter...What are you two doing here?" "We're on vacation and we thought that since you were involved in this event, we would come and see you." said Daxter. Jak, who rarely speaks, finally spoke. "Great work, Ratchet. I know you have my respect." Daxter, being the smartaleck that he is, was non-chalant on his comments on how Ratchet lost to a "crack showing, wrench using, piece of..." Jak and Clank finally shut Daxter up by covering his mouth with duct tape. Ratchet knew that he shouldn't be ashamed of his performance. He actually fought a legend, and gave him a fight. Ratchet and friends headed off for the hotel, knowing that now, people know who Ratchet is and probably knowing how much of a fight he gave the mighty Luigi. Next Entry Back |
