Luigi approached the stage, feeling incredibly nervous. He wasn't worried that Zelda was going to be cruel, she being a senior like himself he had spent more than enough time with her to know she was very kind. However, she was also very strong and would fight to the full of her ability, and that alone frightened him somewhat. Any prospect of being injured or hurt generally gave him quaky knees. He also didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the crowd.

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.

Zelda smiled, getting up and wiping dirt off the back of her skirt. "The same for you, Luigi!" She backed up slightly so that she was standing in the middle of the platform. "So, are you ready?"

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.

He nodded enthusiastically as he took to doing his usual en-garde stance, fireball hand forward and ready. "I'm-a ready!" he said with a bit more serious tone.

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.

Zelda saw the fireball heading for her, and put up a blue shield around her, Nayru's Love reflecting it. However, by that time, Luigi had moved back and likely out of the way.

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.

Luigi saw the spark of flying coming at him, going almost too fast for him to properly react to it. In a fit of thought, he thought to just leap out of the way, simple enough of an idea, but not quite fast enough. It exploded where he had been, so he didn't take a direct hit, but the aura was enough to throw him off and tumbling to the stage with a shout. A bit dizzy, he leapt back to his fit and suddenly decided to do his cyclone move, hoping that he was close enough, and surprising enough, to catch Zelda off guard to strike her with it.

Zelda had not expected this, and was hit multiple times by his attack. She nearly fell onto the ground, but regained her sense of balance. However, she used this to her advantage, and drew her leg back, giving herself only a second to prepare before she kicked at Luigi, hoping to connect and knock him back.
