Haltmann went to Susie's office to go check up on Susie's progress. He expected her to be organizing her files or something, but instead, he saw Susie in her workout outfit, punching the punching bag. "Uh... Susie, dear...?" Haltmann called.

"Oh...!" Susie exclaimed in between her pants. "Mr. President! What brings you here?"

"I just wanted to check up on your progress," Haltmann said, trying hard to not shiver in fear. "Now, what are you doing? You're scaring me..."

"I just gotta be physically stronger to beat that Tiff!" Susie said as she continued to punch and kick the punching bag. 

"I'm just... I'm just gonna go..." Haltmann said. Susie did not respond as Haltmann spoke so softly that was inaudible between the punching and kicking sounds. "I'll... check up on you later..." Haltmann closed the door to let Susie train herself to be physically stronger to teach Tiff a lesson. "I wonder what's gotten into her..."

"This should help me concentrate better," Susie said as she printed out a face of Tiff, placed it on the punching bag, and proceeded to punch and kick the punching bag repeatedly. "You're gonna feel sorry you messed with THE Susie!!"

********

At the same time, Tiff was also training. She was training much harder than Kirby. Meta Knight was so confused about why she was training harder than a Star Warrior. 

"Tiff... what are you doing...?" Meta Knight asked.

"Poyo, poyo!!" Kirby greeted. 

"Oh, Meta Knight! Thank goodness you're here!" Tiff said as she stopped punching the bag. Before she asked him a favor, she leaned against the punching bag to catch some breath. "Whoo! This training is harder than it looks!"

"Why are you training...?" Meta Knight asked. 

"Poyo, pay!" Kirby cheered. 

"I need to kick Susie's butt!" Tiff said. 

"...Why...?" Meta Knight asked. 

"Poyo?" Kirby said. 

"Oh, you weren't there, were you?" Tiff said as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead and her neck. "We had a physical fight during the Invader Armor."

"I see," Meta Knight did not need to hear anymore. 

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby said. 

"Yeah, I need to practice so that I can kick her butt!" Tiff said as she continued to punch and kick the punching bag. 

"Allow me to give you a few pointers," Meta Knight said. He hopped in front of her, placed his hands out, and said, "Jab, jab, jab, one-two."

As Meta Knight coached her, Tiff gained more confidence in fighting Susie physically. That night, before she went to sleep, she wrote a letter to Susie saying:

An invitation to fight,

Susie, our fight did not end yet. Let's have a physical fight some time until one of us goes down. If you turn down on me, then I'll consider it my victory. You'd better be ready.

Tiff sent a letter through Dedede's transporter. 

While Susie was still training, she received something through the transporter. When she saw an envelope, she said to herself, "Is his majesty finally paying the bills he's behind on?" When she opened it, she said, "Well, even better."

Susie sat down, took out a piece of paper, and wrote,

Oh, you little brat. You dare challenge me to a fight? All right, let's do it. I'll show you what death feels like. How adorable of you.

Tiff received a reply letter and trained even harder. 

Susie was also training hard in her room. For the first time since I wrote this book, Susie has actually missed a deadline of submitting the daily, weekly, and monthly reports of the sales, manufacturing, and factory progress. 

"Umm... Susie, dear...?" Haltmann peeked inside Susie's office as he carefully opened the door. He was afraid of Susie's behavior as she angrily punched, kicked, and head-butted the punching bag. "Just checking up on you... I mean..." Haltmann said cautiously. He was afraid that Susie's fist, feet, or head might end up on his face. "You're behind on 2 months worth of the reports... so..."

"URGH!!" Susie said as she groaned as she dropped to the floor. "I'm gonna kill her!!" she screamed in anger and frustration. 

"Susie, dear...?" Haltmann carefully approached her. "If I set up a fight place for you and... what's that brat's name again?"

"Tiff..." Susie gritted her teeth. 

"All right," Haltmann continued. "So, if I set up a fighting place, or maybe better, an ring, will you start catching up on your reports? Please?" 

"Of course, I will, Mr. Haltmann," Susie said. 

"Great! I'll set it up right now!" Haltmann said excitedly as he really needed the reports, especially from Susie. 

I just set up the ring, you'd better not chicken out.

The message from Susie was sent to Tiff. "Let's do this!!" Tiff said as she crumpled the paper. 

"Tiff, my dear," Lady Like called as she entered the room with her husband. 

"Are you sure you want to do this fight?" Sir Ebrum asked.

"How did you know I was going to fight?" Tiff asked. 

"I saw you training with Sir Meta Knight," Lady Like said. 

"Tiff, dear, we don't want you in that fight," Sir Ebrum said. 

"But, mom, dad, please," Tiff begged. "I've been training so hard for this! I need to settle this down with her! Pleeeaaaase?"

"For this first time in our life," Sir Ebrum said. "She's acting more foolish than Tuff."

"Tiff, promise us you'll be safe," Lady Like said. 

"I'll try to win," Tiff said. 

********

"WEEEEELCOME TO THE FIRST MIXED MARTIAL ART COMPETITION!!" Haltmann announced. Everyone from Cappy Town and Haltmann Works Company was all in the audience seat of the ring and they violently cheered. "From the red corner, we have a fierce and intelligent young yet fierce warrior from Cappy Town, TIIIIIIIIIIFF!!!" 

As Tiff came out and waved, citizens from Cappy Town cheered while the employees of Haltmann Works Company booed. 

"From the blue corner, we have a fierce and intelligent young yet fierce warrior from Haltmann Works Company," Haltmann announced. 

"Why is he using the same explanation for me and Susie?" "Why is he using the same explanation for me and Tiff?" Tiff and Susie asked themselves respectively in the different places.

"SUUUUUUUUSIEEEEEEEEE!!" Haltmann announced. 

As Susie came out and saluted, employees of Haltmann Works Company cheered while the citizens from Cappy Town booed. 

As Tiff and Susie stepped on the ring, they glared at each other with boxing gloved on their hands. 

"Heh heh heh!!" Dedede laughed. "This is gonna be fun!!" 

"Oh Susie... please don't get hurt," Escargoon said as he chewed on his nails out of anxiety. 

"Allow me to explain the rules!" Haltmann said. "They may punch, kick, throw each other out of the ring, but absolutely no allies and no weapons of any kind will be allowed!"

"Looks like you're not gonna have the pink fluff ball to protect you," Susie taunted. 

"I don't need Kirby when I'm fighting you," Tiff said. "I am going to kick your butt!"

"Ooo~" Susie said sarcastically. 

Tiff and Susie took their stance as they raised their fists that were covered with the boxing gloves. 

"Round 1! Fight!" Haltmann announced. Tiff and Susie ran towards each other with their fists raised and swung at each other. This made their fists punch each other's fists, which created a forceful impact that pushed each other away. 

Everyone cheered from both sides as their fists created an impact:

"GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF! GO, TIFF!"

"GO SUSIE GO! GO SUSIE GO! GO SUSIE GO! GO SUSIE GO! GO SUSIE GO! GO SUSIE GO!"

"Not bad," Susie said. 

"Don't evaluate me," Tiff growled. "You have no rights."

"Bring it on, pipsqueak," Susie said. 

Tiff and Susie ran towards each other again and, as if they read each other's minds, kicked each other with their right legs. The impact did not cause them to push each other away, but they continued to do other moves. Tiff swung her fist, Susie dodged it, and then spun to trip Tiff, Tiff jumped at the right time and swung her foot at Susie, Susie pushed her head backward and punched. She meant to punch Tiff's foot, but she punched right in the middle. Tiff fell and crouched and held her stomach in pain. 

Haltmann Works Company side cheered as Susie stood up straight and swung her hand to encourage cheer like some professional fighter. While Susie was receiving praise from the audience, Tiff snuck up behind and struck her head down as hard as she can. 

As Tiff went down, Tiff screamed "YEEAAAHHH!!" while Cappy Town citizens cheered for her, including Kirby. 

Meta Knight was just sitting next to Kirby as he thought, Is this fight really necessary...? Although Meta Knight coached her, he still did not understand why this fight was still necessary. 

But that was just something only Meta Knight worried about. Everyone else was having fun, including Tuff. "Yeah!! Go get her, Tiff! That's my sister!!" 

Of course, her parents were not enjoying this, but for different reasons from Meta Knight. "Tiff! Please be safe!!" Lady Like said. 

"Don't let her hurt you again!" Sir Ebrum said. Sir Ebrum and Lady Like already wanted her to quit since the first fist impact. 

"Oh, you're going down!" Susie screamed as she rubbed the back of her head to relieve the pain. 

"Like how you just did now?" Tiff asked. 

"You know what?" Susie said as she took off her boxing gloves. "Bring it on."

"As you wish," Tiff said as she also took off her boxing gloves. 

Just like last time, they grabbed each other hair and pulled on it as if they wanted to rip the hair out of their head, or even better, have a piece of head rip out of their body as they forcefully pulled it out. As Susie jerked it harder, Tiff lost her balance and fell forward, but she thought quick enough to scratch Susie's face as she fell forward. 

"UGGGHHH!!!" Susie grunted in deep anger. Susie grabbed Tiff's hair, twirled it on her fist, and yanked on it as she stepped on Tiff's back. 

Tiff screamed loudly in pain, but she still managed to rotate her body and roll herself so that Susie can fall down. Susie fell down backward as she let go of Tiff's hair. Tiff climbed up on her and started throwing fists and claws on Susie. Susie quickly raised her head and swing it forcefully so that she can headbutt Tiff. As she headbutted each other, they both grabbed their forehead in pain. Then they gripped their fists as they glared at each other. 

In slow motion, Tiff and Susie swung their fist at each other, everyone's eyes and mouth began to open wide, Lady Like covered her eyes, Sir Ebrum covered his mouth, Haltmann clenched his fists. Susie and Tiff punched each other at the same time, the drops of sweat splattered out of their hair and face as their fists landed on each other's faces, they both lost their consciousness and fell on their back. As they lay flat on the floor of the ring, everyone, except Lady Like, Sir Ebrum, Meta Knight, and Haltmann, cheered loudly. 

By that time, Haltmann has already called the medics, and they both were carried away in the gurney to the treatment room. Lady Like and Sir Ebrum ran along with the gurney as she was being carried away on the gurney. "Oh, Tiff, my baby!" Lady Like screamed in concern. 

"Tiff! Are you all right, dear??!!" Sir Ebrum called. 

Tiff was not dead, and she was not going to die, but she was still unconscious. 

"Susie! Susie!" Haltmann called as he was also running along with the gurney that Susie was being carried away in. 

"OH, SUSIE!! IS SHE GONNA LIVE?? PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S GONNA LIVE!!" Escargoon begged as he ran along with the gurney and Haltmann. 

"Have her get up as soon as possible!" Haltmann said to the paramedics. 

After being treated, Tiff and Susie woke up at the same time. They did not understand why, but their beds were right next to each other. They glared at each other and stared at the ceiling. 

"I won that one," Tiff said. 

"If by 'won' you mean that you were punched in the face and fainted, sure, you won," Susie said. 

"You want to go again?" Tiff threatened. "Not only you'll lose your conscious, but you'll also lose your teeth and hair."

"As if you can," Susie growled. 

"Both of you, stop fighting," Haltmann said as he entered the room with Lady Like and Sir Ebrum. 

"Oh, Mr. President," Susie greeted. 

"Mom? Dad?" Tiff also greeted. 

"We're here for you," Lady Like said. 

Before anyone can approach them, something pushed them out of the way. "OH, SUSIEEEEE!!!" Escargoon cried as he pushed everyone away and ran towards Susie. "YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!!"

Susie groaned as she rolled her eyes. 

"Wow, I lived with him in the castle almost all of my life and he cares more about an annoying chick whom he met since NME was shut down," Tiff as she crossed her arms. 

"This isn't over," Susie said. 

They glared at each other as they crossed their arms.
