The stadium is buzzing with excitement. Spectators cheer loudly.

In the VIP section, PEACH and ZELDA sit, watching the arena with anticipation.

PEACH:
(Smiling)
This is going to be so exciting, Zelda! I can't wait to see Mario in action.

ZELDA:
(Nodding)
Indeed, Peach. And Kirby is always full of surprises.

The camera shifts to the arena entrance. MARIO steps out, waving to the crowd with a confident grin.

MARIO:
(Waving)
Let's-a go!

On the opposite side, KIRBY bounces in, equally enthusiastic.

KIRBY:
(Bouncing)
Poyo!

MARIO and KIRBY face each other in the center of the arena. The atmosphere is charged with excitement.

MARIO:
(Grinning)
Alright, Kirby. Let's give the audience a good show!

KIRBY:
(Nodding energetically)
Poyo! Ready when you are, Mario!

The referee signals the start of the match. Mario and Kirby get into their fighting stances.

PEACH:
(Cheering)
Go, Mario! You can do it!

ZELDA:
(Supportive)
Show them your strength, Kirby!

EXT. SKYWORLD - DAY

PIT watches the battle unfold below from a magical fountain, which displays the events of the Battlefield Stadium like a hologram.

PIT:
(Watching intently)
Mario and Kirby are really giving it their all...

PALUTENA appears behind Pit, observing the scene.

PALUTENA:
(Softly)
They are strong warriors, Pit. We may need their strength soon.

PIT:
(Turning to Palutena)
Do you think something's coming, Lady Palutena?

PALUTENA:
(Nodding)
I sense a disturbance. Stay vigilant.

PIT:
(Determined)
Yes, Lady Palutena. I'll be ready.

INT. MIDAIR STADIUM - DAY

The battle between MARIO and KIRBY reaches its climax. MARIO manages to land a powerful hit, knocking KIRBY down.

KIRBY reverts to his trophy form, lying motionless on the ground. MARIO walks over, picks up the trophy, and revives KIRBY with a touch.

MARIO:
(Smiling warmly)
Good match, Kirby!

KIRBY:
(Bouncing back to life)
Poyo! You too, Mario!

They both turn to the crowd and wave, the audience erupting in cheers and applause.

PEACH:
(Clapping)
Well done, Mario! Well done, Kirby!

ZELDA:
(Smiling)
Such good sportsmanship.

As they celebrate, the sky begins to darken ominously. The scene sets up for the next unexpected event.

MARIO and KIRBY are still basking in the crowd's applause when suddenly an ominous howling noise fills the stadium. The sky turns dark as red clouds gather ominously overhead.

PEACH:
(Looking up, worried)
What's happening?

ZELDA:
(Alarmed)
Something's coming...

The HALBERD appears through the red clouds, casting a massive shadow over the stadium. The crowd gasps in fear.
