However, he reasoned with himself, even if he lost, as long as he TRIED he wouldn't be made a fool, right?
He straightened himself up and adjusted his hat with a confident air, even if it was just bravado, and nodded at Zelda, with a friendly smile on his face. "Good luck!" he said with a sing-song tone to his voice.

She wasn't sure if the countdown would be made automatically or not, but decided that there wouldn't be too much of a difference if the combatants did it instead, anyway.

A voice rang over the speakers:
Three . . . Two . . . One . . . GO!
And with that, he swung his arm back and out, green flame shooting forth and heading for Zelda, and he somersaulted back, just to be a bit further back in case Zelda let loose with a closer range attack as well.

She decided two could play at this game of fireballs, and sent her own Din's Fire towards him, hoping to time the ending explosion correctly. Still, Zelda knew the distance would have to be closed eventually.

He fell on his back, but immediately rocked back up onto his feet and did a move that was completely embarrassing but seemed effective: Run like a total spazz, fists flailing, eyes shut tight as he uttered tiny cries. Opponents generally seemed put off enough by a grown man with a moustache attacking like that that he was able to throw in a few good blows. (He also like the attack because it meant he could let out some of the fear he felt in a total cowardly way but still be effective, but no one really needed to know that.)

Rolling back onto her feet to get up close to Luigi again, she went for a quick attack, swinging her arm in front of her, at him. A trail of sparkles followed her hand, adding more power to the blow.

She reappeared just above a platform, but momentum kept her going forward, so the ended up falling past it, to the solid ground below. The sheer concentration involved in using Farore's Wind prevented her from reacting much, during this, leaving her open to another attack.

She used Din's Fire again. However, her aim was a bit more off than when she first used it, as she still had trouble making the path curve, and she had lost some of her focus from the attack. Judging from how far she went from the punch, it wouldn't take more than a few more strong hits to finish her.

Then came that familiar feeling, of momentary darkness and rejuvenation, before the sights of the stage came back to her. She stood on the restoration platform, and took a second to regain her wits. Zelda had one more life, and could still win if she hustled.
She came down, heading for Luigi, and ran for him as soon as she touched the ground. When she was close enough, she stopped, drawing her right arm back and concentrating a lot of magic into it. Zelda had to grab her upper arm with her free hand to keep control, and jabbed it out, expelling that magic in a powerful burst of sparks, hoping to hit her target.

One moment he was smiling in joy and the next moment he felt amazing pain before he saw a flurry of lights as he flew too far away from the stage.
Dazed, he came to on a restoration platform of his own. He blinked away the remaining stars in his head, adjusted his cap once more, and thought sternly to himself not to screw up like that again. He desperately wanted to win: for his brother who he knew was watching him in the audience; to have a proud story to tell Peasley when he was done; and most of all, to show Dimentio he wasn't some wimp to take lightly.
He jumped off the platform, but away from where Zelda was warily waiting, standing on the other side of the stage for a moment to see if he could think of a plan quickly before he took any action.

Zelda reappeared near Luigi, hopefully catching him with the 'bang' of her teleportation. In her junior year, she had almost always used Farore's Wind as simple recovery. Now that she had grown more confident with it, she wanted to see how practical it was as a direct attack.

Then, she disappeared.
He kept his hand still up defensively, but he had no idea where she was going to show up, and so he couldn't properly cover all angles at all. He glanced about in a panic, biting his bottom lip as he tried to concentrate and hopefully ~sense~ where she was coming before she showed up.
Yeah, that wasn't happening. She in fact appeared right opposite of where he had been looking.

She knew she was on the losing end, but she was going to go down fighting. Zelda did a kick down, hoping that she was above Luigi, as she had become slightly disoriented.

Then, he found himself out in thin air. With a cry, he double jumped and some how miraculously found the edge of the stage under his fingers. He paused to breathe deeply and gather his wits. He thought he heard her approaching, and hoping hard that he had heard correctly, he kicked off the stage, flipping up back onto it, doing a kick, similar as she had done before, trying to trip her or even knock her back hard.
