A CHALLENGER IS APPROACHING

“You didn’t have to come.” 

It was a cold day, in the mountains. Everything was covered in snow and all the rivers became frozen. I turned around to see the man with the scar on his face with his hunting gun. It was obvious that he was the same man I met on the grass field. I tried to look behind him to see if he had that…that  thing with him.

I repeated the same words, ”You didn’t have to come.” 

“Well you didn’t say I couldn’t come, so I’m here. Beside I have the approval invitation right here.”, he responded as he took out the invitation, that had the official “S.S.B.” symbol. 

Then I spoke, “So where’s your… thing.  Is it here or not?” 

He looked at me and gave me a disturbing smile.  Finally he said, "Do you possible think I would come alone?"  He stepped aside and did a mysterious whistle and I could see something coming towards us. My vision was blurry because of the snow, but as it came closer, it became clear that it was the “thing." 

My heart stopped.

It came closer and closer and I realized the “thing” was … a dog with a duck on his back. A cute, furry little pet set! I smirked and said, “Is this really your challenger?!” I started to laugh thinking that it was a joke. 

Then the man said, “Duck Hunt… you are no longer on my command” At that moment I stopped laughing and was confused for a second. That’s when the dog jabbed my face with his front paws and the duck jabbed my stomach with its beak. That duck sure has a strong head and beak, I thought. 

I fell to the ground. For a second I thought I was defeated and I got ready to fight. Cute and furry? Yes, but a dangerous pet set, too! And that's how Duck Hunt and I were invited to SSB4. 

(FYI: I was a MII Character and Duck Hunt is… well, Duck Hunt.)
