GCB Fanfics: The Fanfiction Project

June 2nd, 2003


64 chairs were set out on the lawn.

Soon, the battles would begin. Every day, one victor would live to fight another day, while one loser would be sent back to his or her respective dimension. Every day, the amount of chairs would decrease.

Until there was only one.

Many aspired to be that one. Some had tried before, like Sephiroth, who was clad in his usual black coat. The son of Jenova exchanged glares with his blonde-haired look-alike, Cloud. The Mako glow in their eyes had that power in them. You didn't piss off the two of them, or their swords would do the talking, and those swords had some talking to do... There was an Italian plumber and a green haired elf that the two warriors wanted to see impaled on those swords.

There were new people here too. Kefka, the insane clown, and Magus, the blue-haired enigma. Magus just sat there, with his scythe, waiting for the time to come. He had seen how well his associate Crono had done last year, and if a weakling idiot could go that far, Magus figured that he would have no problems against the competition.

Kefka was preparing in a very different way. Kefka could taunt you and annoy you, and he knew it. Some of the less will-powered people there, like Tidus and Aeris, were already angry at Kefka's eccentric ways... All the better for the clown to work with.

Talking was at a minumum here. Max Payne talked business with Sam Fisher, both trying to refine their skills as a gunsman. Kirby and Pikachu, in their pecular language of squeaks, also communicated, but in their case, they remembered last year. Both of the "cute" characters had been bounced out of last year's tournament early, and both seemed eager to be better off this time around. Auron sat with his young protege, Tidus, and lectured the blonde-haired kid. Auron had been through things like this before, and had excelled at them. He was all to eager to point out Tidus's failure from last year. And Squall, same as always, tuned everyone else out, including Snake, who was all too eager to taunt Squall for the blowaway defeat Squall had faced at Snake's hands last year.

And Crono just said nothing. He couldn't. It wasn't in his nature.

Suddenly, a hush came upon the assembled video game stars. Someone had arrived.

Flanked on both sides by Zelda, his girlfriend, and Ganondorf, his mortal enemy, Link of Hyrule strode into the lawn, and sat down, saying nothing, on the regal chair marked "Champion's Chair" that laid in front of all the others. His advisors, Kaepora Gaebora and Tingle, quickly rushed over.

"Hee hee!! The stupid owl got lost, but thanks to Tingle's maps, everything's okay," the green man aspiring to be a fairy said. He regretted it fairly quickly, as the huge owl turned to him angrily.

"Lost??? I am never lost. I was merely exploring the land. This isn't Hyrule, you know, and we won't know the lay of the land against any possible ambushes. There are quite a few people here who don't want to see you survive to your match with AiAi..." Tingle chortled, interrupting Kaepora. The owl glowered again at the wannabe fairy, but Tingle had too much to say to pay attention.

"AiAi? Hee hee hee! I could beat that monkey! He won't even come close to beating you, sir, he's totally incompetant!"

AiAi, over in the corner, was not doing too much to persuade anyone differently. He repeatedly rolled his monkey ball straight into the wall, as the amused Italian brothers, Mario and Luigi, looked on. People standing nearby were already tired of hearing the phrase "Mamma-Mia!!".

And Link was tired of watching the hapless monkey. He made a rare comment.

"Not a problem."

Three of the more villainous characters in this contest agreed with Link. Sephiroth and Ganondorf nodded, annoyed.

"Link will get into the second round, too easy," said Ganondorf, scourge of Hyrule.

Sephiroth simply smiled.

"It's never easy for too long. He'll be facing someone soon enough... Maybe even you!"

"Let's hope he doesn't get that far... HAHAHAHA!!!!"

CATS watched this from a corner.

"Soon... Soon all their laughter shall belong to CATS. CATS!!"
