Like the dope he was, he was excited with the sheer fact he had even managed one KO, let alone the first one, that he was too busy cheering for himself to notice that the moment she appeared on the stage she was flying right for him with one amazing attack.

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 also waited, knowing that whoever made the first move now could easily be blocked. Still, she decided that she could still have some of the surprise needed, even as she ran a few feet towards him. Suddenly, in a flash of green, she was gone.

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.

He saw her dash forward and immediately crouched into a more defensive position, fire hand held out as always to let loose a handy firewall just in case.

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.

Zelda clicked her tongue, realizing she had overshot and just barely missed hitting him with the resulting explosion that came with her appearing. This likely blew her cover, though, meaning she had to act fast. She inched a bit closer, crouched onto the ground, and kicked, hoping that the low attack would trip him up. Although, if it didn't trip, at this stage it probably wouldn't do as much damage as she'd hope.

Zelda had one thing in her favor, while the resulting POP did alert Luigi, it mostly scared the hell out of him, and he was too busy shuddering in in fear to notice the kick to his legs.

He cried out and fell to the stage, onto his back, but as before he was able to rock back onto his feet, but he felt his knee give a twinge of protest as he spun around to face the girl. Furrowing his brows, he ignored it and did a quick dodge move, somersaulting quickly to get round her other side, and turning to grab her from behind, he spun her about for a second then toss her across the stage. As she flew he ran toward her, hoping to do another spastic run at her as she was standing up.

Zelda had been thrown, and had landed on one of the platforms. She made the mistake of falling through it, though, and by the time she realized what Luigi was doing, she had been knocked back again, almost off the edge. She was able to grab the edge just by doing a jump, though, and instead of just simply pulling herself up, swung her lower body up and into a brief attack. Zelda then jumped up to the platform above.

Luigi was knocked back onto his back from her surprise edge attack, and wasn't as quick to get up again as before. When he was up, he glanced around him once more, confused that he couldn't see her again. He suspected her of transporting again, and put himself back on guard, failing to even remember there were platforms above him.

Zelda noticed the pause, and decided Luigi was trying to figure out where she had gone. She fell through, getting a quick kick in as she did. This wasn't very strong, given that where wasn't enough time and distance to plan it out better, but it helped set up a second blow. She jabbed her hand out, shooting a few sparkles a very short distance in front.

He shot across the stage floor, sliding painfully on it and coming to a halt a couple feet away from the edge. He jumped back onto his feet, shaking out his body, trying to loosen the budding hurt in his leg at least, and he turned to face her. He dashed forward, desperate to do some damage, and when he reach her let loose with random punches, lower kicks and finally a head butt. He realised he was being rather erratic now, but often than not he had to depend on melees of attacks, as his blows generally weren't as powerful on their own. He was hoping this would knock the battle back into his favor.

Zelda tried to shield in defense, but was hit by the first few blows, and that messed her up completely. She fell onto her back, and rolled back onto her feet, finding out that she was now on the opposite platform. That last attack had put them about even now.

She jumped off, finding no sense in staying there, but then used Nayru's Love, the blue shield spinning before breaking into pieces, hopefully catching Luigi in its range.
