The Future of Classic Gaming

Battle Blood

  This throws me onto my back, and I curse at myself for getting too cocky. "Let's dance." I taunt Samus, getting back into fighting stance.
"I'm ready, are you?" she says back. I know I am, and I double jump into the air, and I scream "falcon kick!" and I fly to the ground right at Samus, and she parries with a rocket, and I duck, we fight in close combat, throwing moves in quick succession, and then the ground beneath our feet begins to quake and rumble, sending vibrations up my leg.
A windmill appears behind Samus, and I quickly jump onto one of the spinning blades. I see her come down and I am ready for her, because I am two steps ahead of her now.
I bring my fist back, and feel the beads of sweat forming streams down my forehead. Time slows down, and I am razor-sharp focused. The words escape my mouth, and a light forms around my fist, and I finish saying the command.
"FALCON PUNCH!!"
It lands and the punch creates fire all around my body as my punch thrusts me forward, driving into the metal armor and the blast creates a sense of release, and Samus is sent like a bullet through the air. Her helpless body is sent into darkness, and then there is the signature CHING as she hits the edge, and a beam of red flashes out of where she disappeared. She appears ahead, on a platform that flashes a light, and she blinks white until she hits the ground. Too late, because I already proceed to punch her, and it quickly becomes a flurry of hands, and I can hear in the background, the announcer counting down, and I continue to stall, because I have almost two hundred damage and one good punch could end it for me. But I am not good enough, and I get hit with a punch.
