The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest (Megaman Legends Arc)

[DededeCloneChris]

"So?" Sonic raised an eyebrow with a grin.

"...Ugh, fine." Chris gave up.

"Sweet! I'm so gonna enjoy running through Melito!"

"Mexico!" Chris corrected annoyed.

"Whatever it's called! See ya!" Sonic said before leaving a trail of dust behind to his room.

"There goes the somewhat-hyperactive hedgehog."

"Sonic isn't hyperactive," Lucario corrected. "He is just...him."

"..." Chris shuddered looked at Mewtwo. "What did you think?"

"I'm not interested at least." Mewtwo said, narrowing his eyes.

"..."

"But I became interested in something else," Mewtwo called a book about the history of the U.S.A. as Chris sweatdropped (because it WAS in his room). "The history of your nation. The World War I wasn't productive for Germany at all, likewise was World War II. The Mexican Revolution, now, for exampl-"

History lessons approaching, Chris! Quick action!

"Y-yes, go and read all that in your room. I-I'm lending you my book of history for all the time you wan-"

"The Pig War was, as a fact, pointless." Mewtwo went on.

"Seriously! Go and read all that by yourself and tell me everything that wasn't necessary!" Chris said as Mewtwo floated away as he found many mistakes that humanity did before like no other Psychic Pokémon could possibly find. "Phew..."

"Now that is going deeper into details." Lucario commented.

"I hope he doesn't correct any kind of error in humanity, because knowing him..." Chris shook his head once he saw Geno, Mallow and Twink. "Was the truth really shocking?"

"Nope," Mallow said smiling. "There's a brighter side to this."

"...What exactly?"

"Since so many people knows about us," Twink made a happy expression. "That means we're superstars in your world!"

"Oh, I can see it," Mallow put on some sunglasses as he grinned. "Mallow, superstar of the real world."

"Mallow..." Geno frowned.

"What?" Mallow tossed the sunglasses away. "At least it's good to think about bright things, right?"

"I guess, but that's going too far."

"Not to mention they would r-" Twink's mouth was blocked.

"Don't dare to say that or else Eldstar is really going to punish me." Geno warned with an annoyed look.

"...Oh, dangit!" Chris cursed. "I didn't use the Star Spirits that much in the previous fight!"

"You know," Twink looked at him. "Mario used to use their help to the fullest when he rescued them himself."

"I know..." Chris said ashamed. "I should do the same as well and not forget about them."

"I can remind you." Geno offered.

"Me too." Mallow said.

"...Thanks." Chris nodded.

"Now, if you'll excuse us," Geno began as they walked away. "We're going to figure out where is Kalmar."

"We've been looking for him everywhere, but he's harder to find than Carmen San Diego." Chris commented.

The trio turned to Chris. "Who?" they asked in unison.

"...Real world people"

"...Oh," they said before walking away to their rooms.

"Who is Carmen San Diego?" Lucario asked confused.

"...I didn't tell you about her at all before, right?" Chris asked and Lucario nodded. "Well, she i-"

Chris was interrupted as DK grabbed him with his big right arm and hugged him tightly. "So! The tour Diddy and I planned is a game! Huh?"

"D-DK..." Chris panted for air. "I-I can't...breathe..."

Lucario went to DK and released Chris with an annoyed grunt. "Oops, sorry for that." DK apologized.

"Whew..." Chris sighed.

"And not only that, but 2 games!" DK took out both Donkey Konga games. "Maybe I should see what songs are in them to rehearse a little!"

"L-later for now." Chris said.

"...Oh," DK kept the games. "It's okay."

"By the way," Diddy interrupted. "We invited some new musicians here while you were away."

"Really? Who?" Chris asked.

"Weeeeeeeeeeell...they haven't arrived yet. I think it's because of the bad weather outside," DK shivered. "S-speaking of which, I need to sleep in my bed."

Diddy yawned. "I ask for the upper one..."

"Sure do, pal," DK said as both Kongs walked away. "Sure do..."

"..." Chris looked at Lucario. "They didn't tell who were they, right?"

Lucario nodded and Chris frowned in embarrassment.

"Isn't there any game where I sing?" Jigglypuff asked as she walked to them.

"Well...no." Chris responded.

Jigglypuff pouted a little. "So who in your world thinks I'm a good singer?"

"I-I can't respond to that, but see the bright side."

"Which bright side are we talking about?" Jigglypuff asked, crossing her arms as she narrowed her eyes.

"Everyone likes you for your cute appearance."

Jigglypuff blinked a few times before blushing. "...Do you think I'm cute?"

"(Yes.) Er..." Chris looked at Lucario (at even motioned at him while he wasn't looking).

"Do you think I'm cute?" Jigglypuff asked to Lucario, who blinked confused.

"I..." Lucario looked away. "...Guess so..."

"Oh, thank you!" Jigglypuff jumped at Lucario and hugged his head before walking away as she hummed happily.

"...W-why did you do that?" Lucario asked, blushing a little.

"I-I thought Pokémon talking between each other was a better idea so..."

"...Please, don't do that again."

"Hmph."

Chris felt a shiver down his spine and turned around to see Meta Knight. "A-and what did you think?"

"..." Meta Knight looked up at Chris. "They better not mock me behind my back, or else."

"O-of course not. The people in my world thinks you're...very cool..." Chris muttered the last part.

"..." Meta Knight chuckled. "Flattering me isn't going to work."

"T-that wasn't flattering and I wasn't trying to!"

"Sure." Meta Knight said before walking away.

Toon Link walked in as he blushed embarrassed. "D-don't tell me the people saw me doing certain...embarrassing moments as well..."

"Like when the Din's Fire statue blew up and pushed you several miles away to the Tower of the Gods where you crashed into the wal-"

"Don't remind me that!" Toon Link interrupted.

"S-sorry for that."

"...Meh," Toon Link threw his hands up. "Whatever. It's not that of a big deal...as long as they didn't watch other things."

"Like when you fought Orca?"

"S-stop it!" Toon Link said annoyed. "Okay, I'll talk to you about this later. Good night."

"Are you going to see Medli?"

"...Yeah, I think so." Toon Link said before walking away.

"..." Pit walked to them as he looked down.

"...If you're depressed about the truth, then I'm sorry." Chris said.

"No...it's not that..." Pit shook his head.

"Then what is?"

"Well...when I was there, I spotted some kind of big book wit-"

"W-wait just a minute..." Chris took a step back. "Y-you didn't take a peek inside the big book with articles, right?"

"...I did and..."

"OH NO NO NO NO NO," Chris pushed Pit towards the hallway. "E-everything you saw in there is just a different view! Really!"

"...Phew..." Pit sighed as he walked away, waving at Chris with a smile of relief.

"I-am-famous, I-am-famous, I-am-famous," Popo repeated in triumph. "I'm a famous figure for you world, worship me."

"Y-you wish." Chris said annoyed.

"Pfft, you don't recognize true awesomeness when you see it." Popo said before walking away.

"Don't mind him," Nana said. "He has some screws loose in his brain."

"...By the way, I don't think Popo is acting stupid in reality." Lucario said.

"...What do you EXACTLY mean by that?" Nana asked as she crossed her arms. "I've been living with him in my entire life and I know him very well."

"Something doesn't seem right with him at all... It's just my opinion."

"..." Nana looked down worried. "...I don't think something is wrong, except for him being stupid..."

"...Don't worry about it too much."

"...I should. Good night then." Nana said as she walked away. However, Chris could tell she was worrying about something.

"...How do you know that?" Chris asked.

"I take my own time to read other people' minds when I feel like it," Lucario said. "...But don't tell anyone I do this often either."

"Your secret is...safe with me." Chris said unsure. "We should go back to our rooms. Nobody else is here besides us."

Lucario looked around. "...You're right. Let's go and rest."

The World Traveler and Aura Pokémon walked away from the command room as the lights turned off.

And, at last, the truth was revealed and Chris was very relieved to be honest with everyone. The World Traveler never felt so relieved before, and ironically, he was very happy after they listened him from every detail about them.

Nevertheless, Chris was relieved, much for Lucario's own relief as well.

Music stops

Master Hand's Room

"...Um..." Master Hand looked at a control panel. "The security cameras got frozen by the climate outside...how bothersome..." the hand yawned. "Aw, but who cares? Nobody is going to enter here during this weather anyway."

"Crazy veggie people..." Crazy Hand snored on a nearby big bed. "Hands off my little friend, Rocky..."

"..." Master Hand grunted in annoyance as he went back to sleep.

Outside

The blizzard outside raged on with much more force than the last time. Snow was falling everywhere in a crazy tempest of ice, and there was someone walking to the mansion...

...Wait...who is that walking to the mansion?

"B-brr!" the figure shivered. "H-hell no, I'm not going to spend the night inside a cave or something like that..." the person said before spotting the doorknob of the mansion. "G-good, I found the mansion where that masked guy is..." the figure stopped. "W-wait, this is going to be a little bit rude..." the figure thought for a moment before rolling the eyes. "W-whatever, I'll explain my situation and whoever lives here is going to understand me pretty well...or else..." the figure took out a book of Blastia.

And you know who was that person.

"B-because I'm not going to go down without a fight if they don't listen." Rita said as a warning before she slowly entered inside and closed the door slowly while the blizzard raged on.

"...H-huh?!" Chip woke up close to the door. "N-no! S-somebody got inside and I-I didn't! Curses!" the small imp yelled before he flew around the mansion to see an opening.

Of course, he didn't find a single one.

Mother 3 - F-F-Fire!

Many feet away from the mansion, there was Parakarry struggling to get to his destination as the blizzard grew even more violent.

"Y-YOU WON'T STOP ME!" Parakarry yelled as he flew onwards. "I-I'M GOING TO TELL THEM ABOUT YOU 2!"

The Paratroopa gasped when several icicles fell down from the sky and barely crushed him.

"HA! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE NOW! THIS IS SO STUPIDLY FAMILIAR TO FORGET!" Parakarry yelled loudly as he gritted his teeth and flew onward. "I-I'M GOING TO STOP THIS NONSENSE OF THE WHOLE STRONG WEATHER! YOU HEAR ME?!"

Many icicles rained down from the sky and tried to crush the Paratroopa, but they all failed as the scene got covered with more ice while Parakarry kept going forward into the furious snowstorm...

TO BE CONTINUED...

"Ice Nightmare of the High Skies, where I'm going to put an end to this weather!" Parakarry yelled angrily.

Chapter 119: Ice Nightmare of the High Skies

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"Hmm..." Bowser looked at his Brawl form as he wagged his tail a little. "Scaly, but thick. I like this stuff."

"It is a pleasure to have you and your forces again with us, Bowser," Tabuu said. "However, I am mad that the Subspace Bomb's objective did not go as planned since the events of the galaxies changed my plans."

"Pfft," Bowser rolled his eyes. "Like you can't do more of 'em."

"Well, it is true that I can order to deploy more bombs, but this is not important right now," Tabuu narrowed his eyes. "I have received reports that an unusual, insignificant pest managed to get information about the location of the last Star Spirit and it was heading to the mansion."

Ganondorf narrowed his eyes. "Do not tell me it was leaked out..."

"Fortunately, he could not manage to reach the mansion in time. The ones in charge of the Star Spirit stopped the pest from getting to them."

Charizard sighed. "Good... Here I thought they were going to succeed..."

"However," Tabuu went on. "I am concerned about this that I am planning to send 1 of you to guard the path to the Star Spirit."

"Mememememememe!" Bowser pleaded.

"I was planning to send Ganondorf to make up for his failure."

"Aww!" Bowser groaned and mumbled in frustration while Dedede and Charizard chuckled.

Ganondorf bowed to Tabuu. "I am ready to start this."

"Excellent. You may go now." Tabuu said as Ganondorf nodded and walked away into the darkness.

"What are we gonna do in the meantime?" Dedede asked.

"Patience," Tabuu said. "You 3 will rest to recover your energies from the previous battle. Bowser, you need to assemble your troops and organize them properly whenever I command you to invade a world. Do you understand well my ideas?"

Bowser nodded. "As long as you give me all those power ups and crap, I'll be pleased to help you."

"I assure you that Mario, Luigi and the princess are going to be killed in your claws."

"Only the plumbers, not Peach."

"Fine." Tabuu said as the king of the Koopas walked away, chuckling evily.

"Well, why don't we plan our own strategies against them?" Charizard suggested.

Dedede winked at him. "It gotta have me bashing the puffball."

"Only if I get to bash the dumb trainer." Charizard said with a smirk.

"Hmm-hm." Dedede nodded before the 2 walked away.

"..." the Ancient Minister looked away.

"It is something bothering your mind?" Tabuu asked.

"...It's nothing," the Ancient Minister turned to him. "Nothing is bothering my mind."

"Hmm..." Tabuu wondered before he teleported away.

The Ancient Minister looked away to the darkness of the Subspace. "...It's not too long before I decide what to do..."

"I hear that!" Porky said walking to the commander.

The Ancient Minister just shot a beam to Porky to erase his mind without even looking.

"What was I doing again?"

"Doing odd things."

"Oh, that's so me." Porky chuckled as he walked away within his spider mech.

The Ancient Minister sighed in depression.

Smash Mansion
Raven's Room

It was the next morning in the Smash Mansion.

"UAH!" Raven woke up, panting heavily as he looked outside at the snow falling slowly, though there was a lot of snow this time around. "...M-man...for a second there I thought crazy girl Rita got inside this mansion... Must've been a bad premonition or just random thinkin' though..."

The old man decided to sleep even more as he hit the pillow with his head and fell asleep, with loud snores following.

Kitchen

Tales of Symphonia - Off-Key

"..."

"...I know..."

Ness and Toon Link were quite confused after they decided to have breakfast in the morning. Apparently, when both of them made it downstairs and into the kitchen. The microwave seemed to have...disappeared.

"Who in their sane mind would steal the microwave?" Ness asked.

"Beats me," Toon Link lifted his shoulders. "Kirby is the closest person I can think of."

"Nah, I don't think he goes too far," Ness said shrugging. "Screw it, I'm not going to go "microwave-hunting" or something. I'll just have a normal bowl of cereal."

Toon Link seemed to get confused at this. Who would steal a microwave?

"..." Toon Link saw Kirby walking into the kitchen, wearing a sleep cap. "Kirby, did you steal the microwave?"

"Hmm?" Kirby tilted his head grogily.

"The microwave is gone.... Did you take it?"

"..." Kirby looked around. "...No..."

"...Are you saying the truth?"

Kirby nodded.

"Really sure?"

Kirby nodded again.

"Really, but really sure?"

Kirby nodded with an angry expression before walking towards the fridge.

Music stops

"..." Kirby looked at the lobby where Meta Knight glanced to him. The Star Warrior "hmm'd" and decided to have 3 waffles and walked to the masked knight. "Why are you up so early?"

"Because something has been bothering me," Meta Knight responded as he looked outside to the snow. "This weather doesn't seem natural at all."

"Why'd you say that?"

Meta Knight pointed outside where many icicles were inside piles of snow.

"..." Kirby's eyes widened.

"Those chunks of ice out there, for example. They're not common in a weather like this, correct?" Meta Knight asked, despite him already knowing the answer.

"Y-yes..." Kirby nodded as he bit his waffle.

"...I'm going to discuss this with the hand," Meta Knight walked away. "If there isn't this kind of weather, then we should worry."

"...I-I don't have a good feeling..." Kirby responded shuddering.

"Neither do I." Meta Knight said.

Lucario's Room

"B-b-b-b-brr..."

Lucario slowly opened his eyes and pulled Chris towards his chest, where the World Traveler rested his head on. "Chris, are you...feeling fine?"

"N-n-n-no..." Chris responded without opening his eyes. "I-i-i-i-it's getting so cold in here..."

"Hmm..." Lucario looked outside the window where snow was falling. "It has been 3 days straight with this, right?"

"...I-I-I guess so..." Chris responded as he shivered a little.

"...Are you feeling cold?"

Chris nodded slowly.

"You should wake up and take a hot shower to feel better."

Chris slowly opened his eyes and got outside the bed while Lucario watched. "I-I'm going to take one and wake up because I don't want to f-f-f-feel this all the day."

"And catch a cold." Lucario added before Chris nodded and walked away to the bathroom.

"A-and you should take one after me."

"...I'll do it, don't worry." Lucario said before Chris entered the bathroom.

...

"...Was there a bathroom here before?" Lucario muttered confused after finding a bathroom's door in their room.

"Master Hand just put them up early this morning," Pikachu said from the door with a red coat on. "He can make those doors and bathrooms with a simple snap of his fingers. Crazy Hand can but...last time he did, the whole mansion blowed up and we had to sleep outside for 5 days until Master Hand's magic was filled."

Lucario sweatdropped. "...I see..."

Pikachu moved his tail a little. "Anyway, it's not long before everyone wakes up and reunite in the command room. Do something you want to do before we make another conference or what we do every day."

"Thank you. I'll do that."

"Meanwhile, I'm going to take a small stroll outside for the heck of it." Pikachu said before he walked away, whistling.

Outside

"HOLY CRAP!" Pikachu yelled once he made it outside.

"HOLY...wait, why are we saying crap out loud again?" Popo asked near a pile of snow where he was playing in.

Nana popped out from the pile of snow. "Oh, good morning. We decided to sleep outside because it's soooooooo relaxing to have a good ice dream inside this wonderful pile of snow."

Popo chuckled. "Heheh, ice dream, get it?"

Nana chuckled. "Of course not. Pikachu doesn't bother to find out what we do."

"...It's times like this where you 2 creep me out when you get along FOR ONCE." Pikachu said with a bored look.

"Don't think I'm going to do this often though." Nana said with a bored look.

"Besides, she's so going to do that." Popo said with a bored look.

"...That line Popo just said did make sense this time." Pikachu said.

"...Pebbles!" Popo yelled before digging inside the snow.

"Maybe that was just me..." Pikachu shrugged as he tried to remember something. "Oh, where was I? Oh, yeah... HOLY CRAP!"

Pikachu found a lot of huge icicles around the snow plain that Nana noticed with a confused look.

"Oh, these chunks were here the moment we came outside to sleep," Nana crossed her arms. "But I don't know why these are all around here."

"So, you didn't do it." Popo said as he stuck his head out from the snow.

Nana rolled her eyes. "Of course not, and neither did you."

"I know, but you did what?"

Nana facepalmed. "Okay, stop it before I smack you down."

"Why don't you smack him instead?" Popo asked as he took a Paratroopa's face out from the snow. "He looks so KO'd enough to get even more KO'd."

"YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Nana screamed in horror as she smacked the Paratroopa into the snow with her hammer. "P-Popo! W-what were you doing with that dead carcass?! D-don't tell me it was inside this pile!"

"Well, duh!" Popo rolled his eyes. "I told you 30 times but you didn't listen!"

"We were sleeping very close and you didn't say anything, you retard!"

"Then I guess you didn't notice the goggles stuck behind on your back, because you were sleeping on him."

Nana looked her back. "What are you talking abou-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Nana tossed some goggles away. "Y-you dork! W-why didn't you say anything?!"

"I told you 30 times!"

"N-no, you didn't!" Nana yelled scared to death.

"S-stop it!" Pikachu yelled angrily. "What's important now is what are THESE icicles doing outside the mansion!"

"Weird," Popo chuckled. "I thought you were going to say something about Parakarry over there," the blue Ice Climber pointed at the knocked out Parakarry. "He doesn't look that well though. I wonder if the icicles had anything to do with him."

"..." both Pikachu and Nana stared at Popo.

"...What?"

"Popo, I'm impressed. You're starting to stay on something more important for once." Nana commented.

"Duh."

"Then again, I might be wrong." Nana sighed in depression.

"...Um, hello?" Pikachu called out. "Parakarry's dead carcass? Laying close to the mansion? Police could suspect us as the murders? Popo's just stupid?"

"...R-right," Nana shrugged. "I-I think we need to take him inside and see if he's still alive..."

"I found another thing!" Popo yelled as he held up a mailbag. "More things you slept on!"

"You little darn VERMIN!" Nana yelled loudly as she raised her hammer above her.

At that moment, the door of the mansion opened and Sonic (who for once was wearing a red coat) walked out and looked at the 3. The hedgehog noticed the dead carcass of Parakarry close to where Nana was going to hit Popo as Pikachu looked at him a little bit shocked.

Sonic already knew what happened in there. "...I'm so going to call the police on you now..." Sonic said before he closed the door.

"...CRAP!" Pikachu and Nana yelled as they quickly dragged Parakarry inside in a hurry while Popo carried the mailbag and the goggles.

Main Lobby

"ACHOO!" Parakarry sneezed, close to a chimney that Master Hand just put. "B-brr! T-this is the second time I got frozen...or instead, attacked by ice! Seriously! The heck is wrong with those 2 over the clouds?! When I get my hands on them, oh, they're going to regret attacking m-ACHOO!"

"Oh, please. Quiet down," Sonic rolled his eyes. "Sky doesn't attack people."

Parakarry looked at him with an angry expression. "You tell me! I'm seriously going to sue someone for what happened outside an-"

"Wait right there," Pikachu stopped. "Did you say the sky...attacked you?"

"Duh!" Parakarry replied annoyed. "I was going to arrive here yesterday during the night but they got mad and attacked me with those big (beep!) chunks of ice! My legs were going to be freaking cut in half! You hear me?! Freaking-cut-in-half!"

"...But, the sky attacking you?" Nana asked confused. "Why'd would it do something so random and...odd like that?"

Parakarry shivered as he took a sip of his cafe. "...Okay...got to calm down... I can explain this very well if I find something t-" he looked at Popo holding a small ice cube. "GIMME THAT! I NEED TO CRUSH THAT THING!"

Popo backed away. "Leave Mr. Icy Cuby alone! What do you say, Cuby?" Popo looked at Mr. Icy Cuby melting slowly. "CUBY! NO! HANG IN THERE, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU CPR AND MORE IC-"

Pikachu, annoyed by the blue Ice Climber, used Thunder to electrocute him and faint him. "There... He was going out of control...and also he drove me nuts..."

"Phew..." Parakarry sighed in relief. "At least you got rid of that worthless piece of ice..."

"Can you tell us what exactly happened to you?" Nana asked.

"...Okay..." Parakarry sighed again. "You guys are the main reason why I'm here..." Parakarry looked at them. "But, shouldn't I explain everything to everyone in here? I think this is something you need to take care on..."

"Sonic, will y-" Pikachu didn't find Sonic anymore. "...He's already telling everyone, right?"

"Hi there!" Sonic said quickly appearing with a popcycle that he licked. "Missed something?"

"GET YOUR FEET WORKING AND WAKE UP EVERYONE!" Nana yelled.

Command Room

Master Hand sneezed and checked the temperature. "...G-goodness...t-the temperature is dropping really fast today..."

"I-i-i-it's the frozen era again!" Crazy Hand shivered.

"C-C-Crazy, don't say things that don't make any kind of sens-ACHOO!" Master Hand sneezed. "G-geez, I-I don't think this climate should be THIS cold either... C-c-come to think of it, there's no way the temperature could drop at -17!"

"Isn't it 71-?"

"...N-no..." Master Hand replied with a low tone before they saw Zelda walking inside with a shocked expression. "G-good morning."

"My life...is just...a lie..." Zelda muttered as she sat down on a chair.

"...Oh, I guess somebody explained everything to her," Master Hand said. "Hey, we're not "lies" or some crap like that anymore. Chris had a good point abo-"

"My kingdom...has been stalked...by millions of strangers..." Zelda went on with her shocked face. "...And I...didn't...notice..."

"...God, she is in a heavy trance," Master Hand frowned as he floated to her. "Look, emo princess, you weren't yesterday with us and you could've understood what we all agreed at the en-"

"I...don't know...what to believe in... Is everything...real in front of me?"

Apparently, the princess was ignoring the hand.

Master Hand groaned. "Fine, if you don't want to listen the good way... Crazy, do it the hard way."

Crazy Hand floated above the princess and made a fist. "Ooh! Ooh! Do I get to hurt people this time?"

"Afraid so. This is the only way to get her back to us."

"Yippie!"

The insane hand began to move up and down above the princess who didn't seem to react to whatever was in front of her. Just at that moment, Link came from the hallway, letting out a long yawn before talking. "G-geez, the climate in here is getting so cold, I swear..." the Hero of Twilight noticed the event and gasped. "ZELDA!"

Link quickly ran at Zelda to "save" her from Crazy Hand, who lowered down his fist (or himself) just when Link was about to push Zelda, thus crushing both residents from Hyrule.

"...Uh-oh..." Master Hand said as he chuckled nervously. "I think this wasn't the best idea we've had so far..."

Crazy Hand moved himself up and looked down at the 2 KO'd elf-looking characters. "Sweet! A small bonus with hero included!"

Master Hand sighed in shame as he turned to the hallway and found Snake (wearing a special vest for stealth missions during cold weather). "Since when did you wake up?"

"Enough to see you kill them," Snake said as he pointed at Link and Zelda. "I won't be obliged to the same punishment, am I right?"

Master Hand explained everything to the soldier.

Snake rolled his eyes. "Violence isn't the best way to get someone out of a trance. Use freaking therapy."

"Yes, I know," Master Hand said with a bored tone. "Look, this was the best way to get Zelda to understand this."

"What you gave her was a trip to the hospital, not to mention the elf boy."

"Pfft, nothing like 2 Heart Containers can help," Master Hand snapped his fingers as 2 Heart Containers floated down on the Hyrulians...but only touched their backs before falling to the floor. "..."

"...This isn't Valentine's Day either." Snake commented.

"Oops, I guess they need first to take them...though they can grab food and recovery items on the ground if they lay close."

"I beg to differ," Snake said as he looked down at them. "But it seems your brother went too far on them. I can even see some parts of their arms bending the wrong way."

"What do you exactly mean by wron-OH, HOLY DAMN!" Master Hand gasped.

Chris walked in (using the ISOKFMG job with Tokunaga holding on behind his back). "W-why don't you turn on the heater a little bit...more..." Chris looked down at the Hyrulians. "...Sorry if I'm a little rude...but we have 2 dead people with their arms...I don't know...bent the wrong way? Oh, I forgot, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE DEAD PEOPLE HERE!"

1 hour later...

Link and Zelda were staring at the hand with angry expressions. "I hope you understand violence isn't the best way to reason," Zelda pointed at Chris. "Fortunately, he was much nicer to take me back on track, but you..."

"That was my brother, not me!" Master Hand protested.

"Even though you told him to do it for you." Snake said.

"H-hey!" Nana called from the hallway as she came running in with Popo and Parakarry. "W-we have some very good information to share with everyo...where is everyone?"

"Still snoring?" Link responded.

"But Sonic was supposed to wake them up! Where is that pesky hedgehog?"

"Nana, you're starting to sound like Dr. Eggman..." Chris said shuddering.

Nana rolled her eyes. "Maybe I know why he gets irritated by Sonic. Anyway, where's Sonic?"

Raven's Room

"Ahem," Toon Link said annoyed. "I'd like to begin the promised bow lessons you promised to teach me, remember?"

Raven uncovered his face from the bed sheets. "Kid...is so cold out there and I'm bound to faint my poor soul out."

"Nope, your robe is long enough to keep you fine from the cold."

"...Aaaaaaahhh..." Raven sighed exhausted as he sat up. "Fine, fine, kid. We'll go out and start those lessons..."

"Good," Toon Link said smiling a bit. "After so much time of snoozing, I get the training."

Raven rolled his eyes and stood up where he grabbed his bow nearby and put them behind his back. "Then let's get outta here and start. Better finish this sooner before you keep pullin' me 'round."

The small swordsman nodded and began to walk away outside while Raven walked slower with a bored look.

Hallway

The old man stopped on his tracks when he found Sonic licking a popcycle. "Oh, hi, bluish hedgehog." Raven greeted.

"Hey there," Sonic said as he finished his popcycle and tossed the stick away. "I'm here to relax a bit from the cold."

Raven shivered. "And crazy youngster's tryin' to pull me out by my ear. I can't understand how kids have so much energy."

"Hey, I'm a teen," Sonic grinned a little. "That's how we and kids are."

"Man, I wish I had those good ol' days of my younger days," Raven rubbed his chin. "Guess you can't go back in time and change that though."

"My better days where when I was younger..." Sonic smiled a bit. "I used to teack kids good things."

"Really? How?"

After many teachings later...

"...That sounded kinda weird." Raven commented with a shrug as he walked away.

Sonic made an annoyed face. "Blame me. They were at least grateful and...wait..." Sonic looked at no one in particular. "What was I doing again before?"

Command Room

"What is the postman doing in here?" Master Hand asked.

Parakarry cleared his throat. "I have very crucial information about something alarming I found in the clouds up there. I came here to tell all of you about what I found because I'm sure as hell this weather isn't natural, but monster-made!"

"...Monster-made?" everyone in the room repeated.

Parakarry closed his eyes annoyed. "Look, I need everyone here to explain myself! Call them all here and snap them out their dreams!"

Master Hand sighed. "Times likes this call for desperate measures..."

"What do you mean by that?" Chris asked.

Master Hand pressed a button. "I officialy declare the stages open for all the public..." he said on the mic that blared out around the mansion.

The floor began to shake quietly before the World Traveler looked shocked at the hallway where a cloud of dust spreaded out into the room and covered it completely.

"...Tomorrow." Master Hand finished as many groans came from the Smashers, who apparently woke up quickly and rushed to the room in a hurry.

"..." Mewtwo floated quietly into the room with Lucario following from behind. "Seriously, that was the most pathetic trick you all fell on."

"Well, excuse me," DK said. "I was so excited to enter one of 'em."

Chris was utterly surprised that everyone was ready to come in here in such small time. "W-what...h-how did you get here so fast?"

"I was already awakening." Yoshi said.

"B-but I could've sworn you were sleeping! Who isn't here anyway?"

Falco's Room

"..." Falco couldn't even open his mouth (beak) to speak. The cold got so low and kept him perfectly inside his bed. "(WOULD SOMEBODY STOP THIS WEATHER?!)"

Command Room

"...Ugh, that doesn't matter for now..." Chris said before he saw Meta Knight walking in. "But people like him makes sense and not come here in such a rush..."

"...Mario? Princess?" Parakarry asked surprised as he went to both characters. "Oh goodness! It IS you 2!"

"Parakarry!" Mario and Peach said as the trio greeted. "How have you been doing?"

"Heheheh, pretty well, if you ask me." Parakarry said with a happy expression. "So, it was time for you 2 to join every single weirdo in here, right?"

Some grunts came from some Smashers. "Yes. I'm so happy to be here again." Peach said.

"...I just wonder how can the princess fight... I'm kind of worried about her welfare."

"I'm..." Peach looked down. "...I can fight well..."

"...Anyway!" Parakarry turned to Mario. "It's good to have you here, because I can count on someone with something I need to explain!"

"Now I feel offended all of a sudden..." Roy trailed off.

"What do you have to explain?" Mario asked.

"Well, you see, I was peacefully minding my own business on a quite Saturday morning in Petalburg to deliver some mail, where I suddenly met this weird disco-french guy that greeted me and said all sort of things about women and al-"

"That wasn't it!" Nana interrupted. "Or do I have to remember you with..." Nana took out a small ice cube from her back. "This?"

Horrifying music played as Parakarry looked shocked at the ice cube. "D-dangit! That hellish thing from the tundra is here to torment me again!" Parakarry walked to her, snatched the cube and tossed it to the floor where it shattered. "Phew, I feel much better..."

"NO! THAT WAS MR. ICY CUBY'S SISTER!" Popo yelled as he scattered to recover the shards.

Nobody didn't even mind.

"Much better after breaking an ice cube with...a name? Why is that?" Twink asked.

Parakarry turned to them with several pants. "Okay...I think I'm on track now..." he cleared his throat. "Let me recap...oh, there it is! I remember now! Everyone, I have some alarming news. It's about the weird climate out there. Those clouds...those aren't even natural clouds!"

"The clouds aren't natural?" Lucas asked.

"Exactly! Because those clouds are monster-made!"

"...Wait..." Geno wondered for a bit. "...You don't mean..."

Pakakarry made a serious expression. "I guess I should tell everything from the start to end. Okay, let me tell how did I get to find this out..."

1 day ago...

Sky

Tales of Symphonia 2 – Behind Us!

High above the white paradise of ice, there was a familiar Paratroopa who seemed persistent on his task as snow fell on his goggles.

“UGH! Ugh! Ugh!” Parakarry was shown trying to get through the clouds by slamming his shoulder against them but somehow he couldn’t. “W-why I can’t get through these darn clouds?!” Parakarry asked gritting his teeth as he continued arduosly his goal. “C-come on! Let me through! I know there’s something hidden in there that somebody doesn’t want to reveal! Ugh!”

After a while, however...

"Who dares to interrupt our plan to freeze th-"

"Shut up! Don't reveal important details to a stranger!"

"But isn't this stranger a friend of Mario?"

"Oh, yes."

Parakarry stopped banging on the clouds after he heard the voices coming from the other side. "...Did the clouds just speak?"

"Technically speaking, a cloud did."

"So it says the guy with mist as body, and mist is part of the clouds.

Parakarry got annoyed. "Would you show your faces?"

"Certainly," the voices said in unison before an opening to the sky opened up to reveal a big brown cloud with a robe with a floating ice crown and glowing eyes.

"...Wait just an hour!" Parakarry said with an angry expression. "You 2! You're supposed to be dead...or kissing the earth! Weren't you defeated by, I don't know, Mario and myself here?"

"Tabuu brought us back from the dead," the robe spoke. "And it's rude not to bow to me, the Crystal King!"

"..." the big cloud looked at him with a bored look. "It's obvious he's not going to bow down to you, genius."

Crystal King glared at him. "I expected that from you because you didn't bow down either!"

"Will you just shut up? We have the Paratroopa glaring at us."

Crystal King turned to Parakarry. "So, what is your business to stop us from doing our own business? Haven't you had enough pestering us?"

"No," Parakarry glared at him. "I'm so utterly annoyed by this weather because my wings can't tolerate the cold. They're freezing and I need to fly up high to deliver the mail!"

"Like we're going to listen to you," the big cloud said.

"Well, you should!" Parakarry spat back. "If you 2 guys don't stop this, I'll have to be forced to use...force! Yeah!" Parakarry moved by the sides with fists ready.

"To think we lost to this loser the previous fight," Crystal King commented. "Huff N. Puff, will you freeze him?"

Huff N. Puff's cloud turned blue with ice power. "Fine. Since I have mastered the ice power as yourself, and because I have henchmen with ice powers, then I should do the honors and get rid of him."

"Wait 2 hours now!" Parakarry interrupted.

"You're not even making the slightlest sense, Paratroopa." Crystal King said.

"Shut it! I want to know something! Are you 2 responsible for this weather?!"

"...Yes, yes we do," Huff N. Puff said. "In fact, since you're about to die, I'll tell you everything."

Crystal King mistpalmed (because he didn't have a face). "We're really going to regret this in some way or another..."

"Tabuu brought us back from the dead and gave us another chance to defeat Mario and some other guys called Smashers. Using Crystal King's powers to merge them with me have let me take control of the clouds and use them at our favor. This endless climate of cold isn't going to stop until we die. Of course, such a thing won't happen because we're so far away from the ground and nothing can reach it." Huff N. Puff explained.

"Huff N. Puff doesn't have enough strength to make snow so I volunteered to spread the power all over the clouds." Crystal King explained.

"Our plan is to keep this," Huff N. Puff held a card with Kalmar on it. "The Star Spirit away from those Smasher guys."

"H-hey! T-that's Kalmar, the seventh Star Spirit! What are you doing with him?!" Parakarry asked angrily.

"Tabuu gave us 2 orders," Crystal King made an ice bit a number "1." "Keep them away from the Star Spirit and guard it," a "2" floated close to him. "Freeze the entire land before Exor destroys the city."

"...Say WHAT again?"

"That's right," Huff N. Puff nodded. "Our powers aren't still fully prepared to accomplish our main mission: freeze the entire land to an ice era with everyone down there!"

"So, if I defeat you 2, this weather is going to stop, huh?" Parakarry asked.

"Yes, but you won't accomplish something that ridiculous!" Crystal King raised his sleeves. "We're going to get rid of you for real, and once and for all!"

"You know, when someone says "once and for all," it won't mean the end." Parakarry commented.

"Shut up!" Crystal King yelled as he fired an ice bolt that froze the Paratroopa. "There."

Huff N. Puff looked at him annoyed. "Why'd you do that for?! I was going to finish him off!"

"Who was the idiot who told him about our plans?"

"Who was the real idiot who followed the original idiot's explanation?" Huff N. Puff thought for a moment. "Wait, no! I wasn't supposed to say like that! You made me do it!"

"Heheheheh..." Crystal King chuckled as he walked away.

"Wait! What could happen if that Paratroopa manages to be alive?"

"Don't be such an idiot," Crystal King turned to him. "Once he hits the ground, the ice will shatter and he will as well." Crystal King explained as he disappeared.

"..." Huff N. Puff looked down. "But didn't we piled up enough snow to...whatever," the cloud shrugged as he floated away, closing the small opening.

Command Room

Present

"...So, you see..." Parakarry explained. "After I was able to survive by a pile of snow I luckily landed on, the guys getting me out from the icicle I was frozen, the cocoa coffee that refreshed me, the second cocoa coffee I was given again, I made my way here..."

"But why were you dead inside the snow?" Nana asked.

"Didn't I explain that part? I guess not. I was dead there because those 2 knew I was going to tell you all about their plans so they began dropping those icicles on me!" Parakarry made a fist. "I want to show them a thing or 10 if I can!"

"So Kalmar is there!" Twink said. "High above the clouds, the clouds above the mansion!"

"We must rescue Kalmar so we can enter Nintendo City, defeat Exor and Smithy and repair the Star Road." Geno said.

"But question: how are we going to get that high?" Ness asked.

"I can't fly that high... I'm sorry." Pit said.

"I could reach it, but my wings won't tolerate the cold." Meta Knight said.

"Oh, by the way, the clouds are so thick that nothing can go through them," Parakarry explained. "Banging on them wasn't enough and I doubt they're going to open them again. Unless we have some sort of heavy fire power or...someone to go through, then we're stuck in here."

"By do you mean by "we" exactly?" Snake asked.

"I'm joining you guys to defeat those 2 again!" Parakarry made an angry expression. "These last 3 days have been getting colder and colder and I'm not going to stay behind and see you beat their ice butts! My wings can fight back but they won't anymore if I don't do something!"

"You can come." Mario said.

Parakarry got happy. "And I knew Mario was going to be so nice enough to let me in his group again!"

"More like Mario was going to and not us..." C. Falcon said.

"Okay, here's the problem again," Mallow began. "The clouds are supposed to be thick and nothing can go through, right?"

"Yep." Parakarry nodded.

"So we need heavy artillery to go through, you think?"

"At least that's what I think."

"...Okay, you got me." Mallow lifted his shoulders. "I have no idea whatsoever."

Many of them sweatdropped.

"...Any idea how?" Squirtle asked to Chris.

"D-don't look at me! T-this is an original setting and I don't know how!" Chris said.

"Original setting?" Parakarry asked. "Whatever he means by that?"

"Long story." Mario said.

"Oh, I can understand it very well if that comes from you, Mario." Parakarry said with a happy expression.

"...Those 2 creep me out." DK muttered.

"All of you creep me out." Snake commented.

"Likewise," everyone said before glaring at each other.

Several minutes later...

Persona 3 FES - Living with a Determination

Everyone was talking between the others as Chris talked to Master Hand regarding the problem.

"Okay, do you have any idea how to get through?" Master Hand asked.

"Hmm, why don't you do it?" Chris suggested.

"Well, I can't," the hand explained. "If Tabuu knows I'm in a world, he won't hesitate to capture me and my brother to open the portal to your world."

"Wait, that was the reason why Tabuu had you?"

"Afraid so," the hand nodded. "I only have the power to open the portal to your world along with my brother. Tabuu can't do it by himself so...you could refer me and Crazy as "the keys" to your world."

"And I can't go there by myself?"

"No," Master Hand said. "You can only go to other videog...worlds and not yours. That was something I modified."

"Modified?"

"If Tabuu were to capture you if you had the power to go to your world, he'd kidnap you in an instant. Quick thinking of me, isn't?"

"...I guess..." Chris looked down. "I don't want the people of my world get shocked to see Tabuu and...so much chaos would happen."

"Hey, don't get so depressed. We need to work through this together for a better future."

"...Thanks." Chris said, looking up.

"Anyway, back to our main problem."

"W-wait," Parakarry interrupted. "I have something else that you should listen to."

[DededeCloneChris]

"What is it?" Master Hand asked.

"I have a friend that could take us through the clouds since ironically, he commands one."

"...Who?" Chris asked.

Parakarry chuckled. "Oh, a friend me and Mario used to travel with. You'll see who is he."

"..." Chris wondered for a moment. "Well, I should be thinking about the upcoming battle and who to choose, right?"

"Excellent start." Master Hand commented.

"Remember," Parakarry said. "I'm in this fight as well."

Parakarry temporarily joined your team!

"I know," Chris turned to Master Hand. "Since I know Crystal King and Huff N. Puff, I should take with me people with fire elements or attacks."

"Fire isn't going to affect Crystal King that much," Parakarry said. "But for Huff N. Puff it will. The king has a fire resistance so he has no weaknesses."

"Thank you," Chris said. "How many should I take?"

"Take 8-"

"9 with me!" Parakarry interrupted.

"9 with you since they're above the mansion and in a place where anybody can go," Master Hand said. "I think Geno, Mallow and Twink want to go there so ask them."

"First, the shop." Chris said as he looked at Crazy Hand, who nodded.

"Another little itsy bitsy of information," Crazy Hand interrupted. "We're so close in getting all the jobs purchased so, don't hesitate to buy them all!"

"...If I get enough money." Chris muttered.

"I'll buy 2 Superspicy Curries." Chris said.

"...You what do what?" Crazy Hand asked confused.

"I want to try out something with those if you don't mind."

"...Okie-dokie." Crazy Hand took 600 Smash Coins and gave the 2 items.

"Next, I'll buy the Hothead," Chris gave 200 Smash Coins for mentioned item. "And lastly, the Black Mage job," the World Traveler gave 1100 Smash Coins to the hand and he glowed for a moment.

Now, Chris was wearing a long blue robe that reached his heels. There was a pointed hat above his head and he also wore blue pants with brown boots. A staff also appeared on his right hand.

"..." Chris looked himself on a mirror and gasped. "M-my face! I-it's gone!"

"Relax," Crazy Hand said. "It's just what comes with the job. Your face totally black like a nig-"

Chris's face was shrouded in darkness...literally, since the only things he was able to see were his yellow eyes without pupils shrouded with darkness. "...I look like Vivi's older brother or something now..." Chris shrugged as he took off his hat. "...What the..."

His face returned to normal once he removed the hat.

"..." the World Traveler slowly put the hat back and half of his face hid completely in the darkness while his eyes were half yellow. Chris moved it to the side and half of his face horizontally was covered in darkness. "...So this is why their faces are black. The hat is magic." Chris said as he put the hat back on.

"Can I call you ni-" Crazy Hand got interrupted.

"No!" Chris yelled annoyed.

Master Hand looked at Mario and Peach approaching. "Oh, right."

Master Hand snapped his fingers and both Smashers were given their Brawl forms as they looked at themselves.

"...Hmm..." Peach put a finger close to her mouth as she ducked and took out a Turnip. "...I still have this...odd ability..."

Mario looked at the Turnip with the (O_O) face. "...It's just an ability." Mario commented.

"You think so?" Peach asked as she took out another Turnip with the (-.-) face. "This is weird..."

"Sorry," Master Hand commented. "That was the only ability I could think of. Besides, nothing that odd could..."

Peach took out a Turnip with the (AIDS) face. "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Peach tossed the Turnip away where it hit Olimar, who fell down on the floor.

"...P-please, tell me that was just a joke... That wasn't even a face to begin with..." Chris shuddered.

"R-relax," Master Hand sweated. "I-I know that was just a joke because Olimar seems to be fine..."

"...I CAN'T FEEL HIS HEART BEATING!" Mallow yelled as many Smashers stopped talking and looked shocked at Olimar.

"MY GOODNESS!" Luigi yelled.

"..." Olimar simply sat up. "B-boy, that was really weird..."

Many of them sighed in relief and continued talking.

"..." Peach looked at Master Hand with a concerned look.

"...I'm going to fix that little mistake, I swear." Master Hand said.

"..." Chris looked at Mario. "Mario, I was wondering if you were fine to come."

Mario nodded. "I want to put a stop to Crystal King and Huff N. Puff if you don't mind."

"Okay, will do," Chris nodded and looked at Peach. "What about you?"

"I..." Peach looked concerned again.

"...If you don't want to come, I won't force you."

"...Ask Luigi instead if you don't mind." Peach said.

"Oh well." Chris walked to Luigi. "Luigi, do you want to come?"

"Y-yes. I want to fight even more than I did back at the galaxies."

"Your fire attacks are going to be of help too."

"Y-yeah!" Luigi said nodding. "I'm going to shine even more in battle!"

"(Is his jealousy towards Mario this big?) Be ready until then."

The World Traveler walked to Geno, Mallow and Twink.

"You have to take me." Geno said.

"Is it just me or I'm going to do it anyway?" Chris asked.

"Well, I'm supposed to be a star from Star Haven."

"And it's our duty to rescue the Star Spirits ourselves." Twink said.

"And I'm just an extra." Mallow said with a small smile.

"...You want to come as well, right?" Chris asked and the prince cloud nodded.

"Anything to be with Mario and Peach like the good old times." Mallow said.

"Bowser should be too but...due to his current movements..." Geno wondered for a bit. "I think you make a good replacement for the group of 5, Chris."

Chris blushed. "I-I wished I'd be there a long time ago."

Geno chuckled. "Yes."

"Okay then, I'll tell you when as always."

"And then after we rescue Kalmar..." Twink thought for a moment.

"Exor and Smithy are next at last." Mallow said.

Chris thought for a moment. "...If you don't mind, Geno, I'd like you to be the leader when we go after them."

"...Because it's my mission." Geno added.

"Yes... It would make sense if you were the leader."

"Very well." Geno nodded before Chris walked to Roy.

"You need fire to counterattack those ice monsters, correct?" Roy asked.

"Yes, and you are the perfect guy to ask that."

Roy chuckled. "Just don't abuse too much of my Flare Blade because it takes energy out of me...not to mention it hurts."

"O-of course I'll have that in mind. Don't worry."

"I'd worry about yourself."

"H-hey!" Chris said annoyed.

"Haha! Just kidding."

"..." Chris rolled his eyes and walked away. "I have 6 people ready, 3 more to go... Why am I stuck deciding who again?"

"I'd like to go this time." Pit spoke behind Chris.

"Why?"

"Because, since the mission is above the clouds, I thought it was good to feel the air."

"You're an angel of Skyworld so living high above is heaven for you, right?"

Pit nodded. "Walking on the earth is good, but being somewhere high above, where the air feels so refreshing is something I want to feel again. It would remind me my home back at Skyworld."

"Oh... I see then, you're in."

Pit smiled a bit. "Thank you for understanding."

Chris walked to Meta Knight this time.

"..." Meta Knight looked up to Chris with his yellow eyes as Chris stared down at him with his yellow eyes.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...I need to fight in the air to remember how I fight using my wings." Meta Knight said, breaking the silence.

"Then you'll come?" Chris asked.

"What was the purpose to talk to me then?" Meta Knight asked.

"...Nevermind. I'll tell you when."

Meta Knight merely nodded as he saw Chris walking to Kirby.

"Do clouds taste like cotton candy?" Kirby asked curiously.

"I-I don't think these clouds taste like the candies in Candy Costellation though..." Chris shrugged.

"...Oh," Kirby looked down. "I was hoping they could."

Chris knelt and rubbed Kirby's head. "When I was younger I used to think the same thing, did you know that?"

"Really?" Kirby asked, looking up.

"W-well, yes..." Chris blushed. "I-I acted a little hyper because sugar used to make me go wild..."

Kirby chuckled heartily. "Sugar doesn't affect me that much."

"...The black hole in your stomach does though..."

Kirby laughed for a bit. "Black hole, like I have that inside me."

Chris sweatdropped. "(...Then why is his stomach always empty?) A-anyway, leaving the black hole thing...will you come?"

"If that can clear my mind about clouds being cotton candy, then yes." Kirby nodded, smiling a bit.

"(Don't hug him, don't hug him! He looks to cute when he's happy!)" Chris struggled mentally and twitched after he walked away. "...Oh no, I forgot about you."

Lucario looked down but then looked back at Chris. "I-it doesn't bother me, just go."

"Y-you're not angry at me, are you?"

Lucario shook his head. "I'm fine with your decisions..."

"...You can tell me what you think."

"...I guess I'm a little bit concerned when I'm not protecting you."

Chris wondered for a moment. "...Why don't you ask someone who is going to come with me to make sure I'm fine?"

"I'd ask Meta Knight, but since he is...you know..."

"...I'll be fine. I promise." Chris reassured Lucario.

"...Don't overdo it." Lucario suggested.

"I know what can make you feel better." Chris said.

"What?"

"When I return, we're going to train you outside."

Lucario blinked several times. "R-really?"

"I want to see that brute strength of yours lifting a tree like nothing, Lucario!" Chris put a grip of his staff. "I really want to see your strength so much like we used to in our world!"

Lucario blushed and smiled a little. "...It's not going to be that hard to do..."

"Were you showing off your strength?"

"...A little bit..."

"..." Chris walked to Lucario and hugged him by the shoulders. "You don't know how excited I am to see you train."

"...Guuooorrrrrgh..." Lucario growled happily with a happy expression.

"I just LOVE when you're happy. A happy Lucario isn't that common, you knew that?" Chris asked with a chuckle.

"Yes." Lucario nodded.

"Then please wish me good luck."

Lucario nodded again. "I'll be waiting."

"..." Chris looked at Master Hand. "...Where do we EXACTLY have to go?"

"Outside," Parakarry said. "Follow me and I'll take you to a more accurate location."

"People, gather up!" Chris yelled as the selected Smashers walked to him and Parakarry. "Just one more until we enter...god, I remembered we need to enter inside a sword's mouth after this..."

"Let's worry about that later," Geno said. "Right now, worry about Kalmar."

"And use the Star Spirits." Mallow reminded.

"Then, here we go." Mario as everyone nodded and walked towards the exit of the mansion.

"Speaking of which," Ness began. "Have anyone seen a runaway microwave?"

"Runaway microwave," Samus rolled her eyes. "I knew there were some things I never forgot about."

Ness glared at her. "Oh, then you know where did a stolen microwave go?"

"...No, because it doesn't run." Samus replied with a bored tone.

Ness looked around where nobody didn't care. "...Why do I think the thief is dangerous?"

"What makes you say that?" Jigglypuff asked.

"A very bad feeling actually..." Ness shivered.

Outside

Target Smash!!

Just outside the mansion, there were Raven and Toon Link standing besides a target as the old man explained marksman ship to the cartoony Link.

"We're going to hit this target without facing it from the front?" Toon Link asked.

Raven nodded. "Yep, we're gonna hit it from this angle."

"You mean like this?" Toon Link asked as he aimed his arrow to the side of the target and stuck it on the wooden circle's side.

Raven frowned. "No, no that way," the old man aimed at the trees nearby. "See the trees?"

"Yes. I'm not blind."

"Good," Raven looked forward. "Now, watch and get amused."

Raven shot a fast arrow that went soaring through the air at high speed that hit the tree, but then, it began to bounce on tree to tree until it went directly on the center of the target. Toon Link's jaw dropped.

"See that?" Raven asked with a grin and closed eyes.

"I SO totally saw that!" Toon Link said surprised. "How do I do that?"

"Okay, listen up," Raven knelt to point at the trees. "Ta trick to this is to aim the angle in which the trees face each other. Also, take in mind ta trayectory of the arrow and its long-range reach. Add more force to it so it shoots fast."

"Hmm..." Toon Link shot an arrow that got stuck on a tree. "..."

Raven sighed. "No, your arrow wasn't that strong and fast to bounce 'round."

"I know, I know..." Toon Link said as he took another arrow that then got stuck in the same tree.

"Ta speed was fine, but the angle was bad."

"Okay, okay." Toon Link shot another arrow.

"Trayectory, velocity, good. Angle, didn't."

Toon Link looked mad and looked at Raven.

"Okay, gotta show more examples." Raven quickly prepared an arrow that went soaring through the air at high speed that bounced on all the trees' barks before it hit the target right on the middle.

"Hmm..." Toon Link rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes. "I want to study this a little bit more to understand the bounce part," the little Wind Waker user ran to the trees. "Think you can bounce it close to where I am to check its power?"

Raven sighed relieved. "Kid, that's easier than kick Zagi's butt 'round."

"Who again?"

Raven shrugged. "Crazy hyper dude I don't wanna be reminded of."

Final Fantasy VIII - The Salt Flats

While the 2 were practicing, the Smashers got out from the mansion and began to walk on the road to Nintendo City as they looked at all the icicles around that Parakarry mentioned.

"Just look at the size of the ice..." Roy said. "They're so big."

"Around our height." Geno commented.

Parakarry made a fist as he flew forward. "I swear this is going to stop very soon."

"By the way, how are we going to reach the clouds up above? Didn't you say they were so thick and nothing can go through?" Mario asked.

"Well, not a thing...but a person can," Parakarry said as he stopped on his tracks, stopping everyone else. We need to get through the big hill and call those 2 lovebirds over here."

"Lovebirds?" Kirby asked.

"You'll see soon enough who." Parakarry said as they continued their way.

The paradise of snow was slowly getting bigger and bigger with every second it passed. The Smashers had to walk slowly to the hill as they raised their feet through the snow while it continued to get taller and taller.

"I-I-I-I should be happy that s-s-s-s-so much snow is gathering," Chris said. "B-b-b-but is not the time, r-r-right?"

"I'm afraid so," Geno nodded. "Twink."

Twink appeared some feet away with snow on his head. "Yes?"

"Stop playing and stay close to us. Smithy's subordinates could be somewhere around here."

"We're almost reaching the top of the hill," Parakarry pointed out. "On there, we shall ascend the sky."

"But how?" Pit asked. "Meta Knight and I can't go that high, let alone carry any of you."

"I believe he has some kind of trick under the sleeve." Meta Knight said.

"Or inside my mailbag," Parakarry chuckled. "Get it?"

"Yes," everyone replied with a normal tone of voice.

"...You guys are no fun." Parakarry said with a bored tone.

Once they made it to the top of the hill, they all found the big barrier that covered Nintendo City. It was very big and long, and it was covered in thick snow, making it look like a big dome without entrances.

"..." Luigi sniffed. "...T-the city..."

"...It's sad that nobody is inside right now..." Roy commented.

"I used to take a walk around but now that this happened..." Mario frowned in shame.

"...The restaurants..." Kirby sniffed and hugged Chris's leg.

"(The villains who made Kirby hug my leg and cry because they're keeping his restaurants away...)" Chris sniffed and ducked to calm Kirby down.

"...Look," Geno pointed at a very far object that was located on the center of the big city. "...That small building over the distance must be Exor, where Smithy is inside."

Mallow made a serious face. "Because of him, this is happening."

"We just need to go up and fight for Kalmar."

"Alrighty then," Parakarry pointed up to the sky. "Our mission starts here, but over there."

"...Then how do we go?" Meta Knight asked.

"Easy as a Goomnut," Parakarry chuckled and put his hands close to his mouth to shout something. "Hey, Lakilester! Yes! You! Come over here you little cloudy fool!"

Mario tilted his head. "Why Lakilester? I thought he was at Petal Meadows with Lakilulu when w-"

The Smashers suddenly heard a loud voice yelling from somewhere and they looked around the area, the voice was shouting "DAMN YOU, PARAKARRY!!!" so loudly that even some snow from some trees fell down.

They all saw a small figure over the horizon of snow that made its way through the snow, riding an angered cloud with a face that seemed to be acting like its owner's current mood. The Smashers were able to recognize a Lakitu with blackglasses and green hair when he stopped just in front of Parakarry and Mario.

Paper Mario - Lakilester

"You!" the Lakitu pointed angrily at Parakarry who was apparently smiling happily. "I told you so many times before about my name! It's Spike, SPIKE! S-P-I-K-E! SPIKE, DAMN IT!"

"Relax, Lakilester," Parakarry said. "I knew you were going to yell at my face in a hurry just to correct your real name as usual."

"Not only you," Lakilester pointed at Mario. "But Mario as well! He said it, didn't he? You can't lie to me because I hear it very well from over Petal Meadows!"

"...Wow, you came all the way here from Petal Meadows?" Twink asked surprised.

"Duh! I can't forgive the people who can't remember my name!" Lakilester made fists. "You 2 should be really aware of that!"

"But I like Lakilester better than Spike." Mario commented.

"You! But not me! Besides, Mario, who else calls me Lakilester without even listening?"

"Ahem."

Lakilester hopped up and turned to find Lakilulu with crossed arms. She was a little bit mad but her pink cloud looked normal. "...Oh, you're here too, Lakilulu."

"Lakilester," Lakilulu began. "What did I tell you about running off and correct your name to people angrily at their faces?"

Lakilester floated back a little. "W-well, you know my real name, right?"

"Lakilester."

Lakilester floated back while a vein popped out from his forehead (as well as the cloud he rode on) without even disappearing the smile. "Y-yeah, that's my real name."

"Oohohoho," Mallow chuckled. "Boy's getting bossed around by his girl."

"Y-you s-" Lakilester looked back at Lakilulu. "I-I mean, yeah. (I'm going to rip your head off from your pants, smarty cloud)."

Lakilulu giggled and floated to them. "Excuse Lakilester for being so rude. He can't hold back his anger to people who call him by his name."

"Spike!" Lakilester yelled from the other side where he was floating.

"I swear I'm going to throw him a Spiny if he doesn't accept his name."

Lakilester floated besides her. "Now, now, sweetheart. You don't need to get this angry at me."

"Loverboy is apologizing now." Mallow chuckled.

Lakilester ignored him. "S-so, no Spinies at my head, okay?"

Lakilulu thought for a moment before she nodded. "Well, if you apologize first."

"...Sorry guys," Lakilester said. "I think I went too far with my rants."

Parakarry noticed the Lakitus floating slowly away. "Hold on a second! I called you here to help us out!"

The Lakitus turned and floated to them. "What? Besides calling me Lakilester?"

"Hush!" Lakilulu said annoyed.

"I-I mean, what?"

Parakarry pointed up at the clouds. "See the clouds up there?"

"If I weren't wearing my glasses, then no."

Parakarry rolled his eyes. "Okay, I need you 2 to take us up there."

Lakilester looked at the Smashers and gasped. "O-oh my gosh! Y-you're the Smashers from the Smash Mansion! Oh god! I-I'm a huge fan of your fights!"

"...What?" Chris asked as he looked at Roy.

"You didn't know? Our fights are broadcasted all over our worlds...well, in mine they're just newspapers in scrolls since we don't have technology." Roy explained.

"Pikachu's world doesn't," Kirby said. "Because he doesn't want his trainer to find out the truth."

"Roy!" Lakilester said floating to Roy. "Man, I watched that fight between you and Marth and boy, you were awesome out there!"

"But he won in that one." Roy said.

"Bah! Who cares if that nancy boy won. You were so great in that one!"

"...If I have a match...is going to be broadcasted to many people?" Chris asked shocked.

"Over 700 billions of people." Mario said.

"...WHAT?!"

"The channel where Master Hand broadcasts it it's watched by so many people around the worlds," Mario took out an autograph. "If you walk to the Mushroom Kingdom, you're bound to sign at least 1000 a day."

"...B-but what if I embarrass myself in one?"

"Then you're going to be completely humiliated around everywhere nationally, internationally and universally, not to mention spacially and dimensionally."

"...When you say it, Mario, I know you're being so specific with the information..."

Chris looked at Kirby. "The day Bowser lost to Pichu almost all the people laughed their butts off." Kirby said.

"G-glasses everywhere were shattering apart." Luigi shrugged.

"Oh yeah!" Lakilester laughed for a bit. "Pichu, the same one who won against Bowser in a 3-stock match without even losing a life? God, Bowser SO had it coming for showing off!"

Parakarry interrupted the laugh. "Okay, okay. Now, can you hear my favor?"

"A-anything to help these guys." Lakilester said, wiping out his tears.

"You see, the clouds up there are so thick to get through and we need to get up and fight Crystal King and Huff N. Puff."

"Huff N. Puff?!" Lakilester and Lakilulu asked, shocked in unison.

"I-I thought Lakilester got rid of him! W-what is he doing here?!" Lakilulu asked.

"A very evil guy brought him back and he's causing all this snow, along with Crystal King to freeze the land." Parakarry explained.

"If we don't do something, the last Star Spirit is going to stay up there forever!" Twink said.

"H-hold on, Star Spirit? Were they kidnapped again?" Lakilester asked.

The group explained everything to the Lakitu couple.

"Hmm," Lakilester turned to the city. "So that sword thing is causing all of this."

"Lakilester," Lakilulu joined her hands. "We need to help Mario again! Huff N. Puff shouldn't be allowed to cause another mischief with the weather like he did to Petal Meadows!"

"...Geez, being the drama queen like usu-" Lakilester noticed Lakilulu looking for something inside her cloud. "I-I mean, sure, sweetheart!"

"It's great how girls rule over men." Mallow said.

"I rule over them." Geno said.

"Weren't you missile'd on the face by Samus?" Chris asked before Geno glared at him.

The 4 previous sentences didn't take place at all for some reason.

"Well, I kind of have some revenge against him so..." Lakilester turned to the Smashers. "Okay, I'll help you guys out."

Meta Knight rolled his eyes. "I feel like something was meant to happen here."

"..." Chris shrugged.

"So, how are you 2 going to take us up?" Mallow asked.

"Easy," Lakilester looked at Lakilulu and nodded before looking at them. "We just do this..." Lakilester's cloud touched Lakilulu's cloud and both combined before both Lakitus seemed to walk to each other before their clouds grew wider and made a platform. The cloud seemed to get a little pink because of Lakilulu's cloud and it had both faces of both clouds while the Lakitus were standing (without their feet seen) close to each other. "And presto."

"How convenient." Mario commented.

"Well, hop on! We're taking you all up. Your weights aren't going to be problem." Lakilulu said as every Smasher stepped on the cloud before it began to rise up to the air.

"..." Meta Knight looked down at the cloud.

"What is it?" Twink asked.

"It seems both clouds are talking with each other."

"So, baby, what've you been doing around these skies?" Lakilester's cloud asked with hearts on his eyes.

"Teeheehee." Lakilulu's cloud giggled while she blushed.

"Weeeeird..." Twink shuddered.

"...D-don't you feel is getting way colder than before?" Luigi asked as he embraced himself.

The Lakitus looked up. "Well, the temperature is really getting colder." Lakilester said.

"You don't think they're going to attack us, right?" Kirby asked worried.

Chris picked Kirby and looked up. "I hope not..."

Lakilester looked at Chris. "So, you're a new Smasher or what, kid?"

"...I'm a teen..." Chris muttered.

"Teen, kid, whatever. You're Smasher, I believe?"

"...Y-yes."

"...You don't look that tough," Lakilester looked at Meta Knight. "Be like that guy over there! He looks strong for some evil reason."

Chris looked down at Meta Knight, who gave him a chuckle, which got Chris annoyed. "I-I'm strong in like, 20 ways."

Lakilester rolled his eyes. "Pfft, 20 ways."

Lakilulu looked up. "We're almost going to reach the clouds."

"Just a little more until we gather all the stars." Geno said.

"Then...this whole adventure for us..." Mallow looked down sadly.

Geno patted his back. "I know, but there isn't any other option."

"..." Mallow looked concerned.

"So let's do everything we can do so they remember us onwards."

Mallow looked at Geno and smiled a little with a nod.

"Besides, Mario's here! Like the old times, right?" Twink asked.

"We just need Peach and Bowser, then old times will come back." Mallow said.

"Bowser isn't like he used to be though." Geno said.

"He's still stupid." Mallow and Twink said in unison.

"But evil as always."

"True enough." Mario and Luigi said in unison.

"...Er...question," Pit asked. "How are we going to get through the clouds? Do you have some sort of spell?"

Lakilester and Lakilulu chuckled. "Lakitus can go through any clouds since we mastered the ways of the air." Lakilester explained.

"I heard somewhere that Lakitus are like Koopa Troopas." Luigi said.

"You wouldn't understand how hard is to get your own cloud." Lakilulu said.

"One way to be is if your parents were Lakitus." Lakilester said.

The cloud stopped once it was about to reach the enormous cloud. "I have a bad premonition. Be alert." Meta Knight said.

Roy rolled his eyes. "Duh."

Meta Knight glared deeply into Roy's eyes.

"...I-I mean, yeah! T-thanks for the tip!" Roy said quickly.

"Okay, so..." Chris looked at the Lakitus. "How do we get through?"

The Lakitus nodded to each other and held out their hands at the cloud. "DEUX EX MACHINA!!!" they yelled, making a tremble in the cloud before it made an opening.

"..." Chris was left speechless after the cloud began moving up. "...Tell me what you said a moment ago wasn't that true..."

Lakilester chuckled while Lakilulu giggled. "No way. Holding out our hands was enough to open it."

"We wanted so much to say that deux thingy." Lakilulu giggled.

"Amen, sweetheart, amen." Lakilester said before the cloud fit in the opening.

Heaven's Paradise

"..." Parakarry looked around the big field of clouds. "...My goodness..."

Right on the distant, there was a tall tower of clouds where it was located several miles away from them. Many clouds surrounded the tower as they all looked up.

"Oh my, that's the biggest cloud tower I've ever seen." Lakilulu commented.

"This is the first one we see." Lakilester pointed out.

"...So, they're high up there?" Mallow asked.

"You're a cloud yourself! You should know!"

"AHEM!" Parakarry interrupted. "We should make haste and kick their misty faces so this weather stops! C'mon! We're moving onward!" the Paratroopa flapped his wings angrily before he began to fly away fast.

"God, he's more energetic than he used to be when we were traveling together," Lakilester looked at the Smashers. "Okay, here's the thing. When you're done with Crystal King and Huff N. Puff, the latter a huge bastard, call us to pick all of you up to take all of you down. We could go buuuuuuuuut I need to take care of Lakilulu here." the Lakitu looked at the female Lakity, who blushed and giggled.

"Will do." Mario said with a nod.

"To the big (beep!) tower!" Mallow proclaimed as he ran away to the tower.

Twink looked at Geno adjusting his hand. "Oh, ready to kick some butt?"

"Yes," Geno nodded. "But Mallow's one once I catch up with him."

"Why?"

Geno grunted annoyed as he gave chase to the cloud prince, followed up by Meta Knight hovering as he used his wings.

"Well, if we defeat those 2, the weather is going to stop, right?" Roy asked as he ran together with the others following.

"Yes. Falco is going to like this so much." Pit said.

"But Popo and Nana won't." Kirby said.

"Besides," Chris began. "Who else can enjoy the cold weather?"

Outside

Back where the snow paradise was, there were 4 young trainers (2 boys and 2 girls) walking through the forest of snow. They all wore sweaters to stay warm of the cold temperature as they made their way to...well, who knows where since they became lost.

Though one of them wasn't wearing a sweater, because he wore a long-sleeved shirt instead. However, this blond boy was rather energetic with a confident grin.

The other 3? They weren't that amused, but rather annoyed as they followed the blond boy from behind.

"If Candice was here, she would rest in the ice the entire day, and I doubt she'd get a cold out of it," the boy said with a bored tone.

"I swear," the girl spoke with irritation. "Following Barry's directions to get to the Survival Area from the Resort Area was a bad idea."

"I know," the boy rolled his eyes. "But we were supposed to reach the Pokémon Center and rest there, then we could've continued our way to catch a Diglett," he took out a Pokedex. "We only need..."

"259 Pokémon..." the girl sighed. "Seriously, with all the Pokémon we've seen and some of them captured for the Sinnoh Dex was enoug-"

"But see the bright side!" the blond boy responded as he turned to them. "There are 490 Pokémon out there waiting to be captured!"

"I know your excitement...but catch all of them?" the girl sighed again.

"Hey, cheer up," the boy smiled a little. "Not only we get to see many Pokémon and help Professor Rowan with his research and Professor Oak, but we also get to catch them all."

"...I think so."

"Heheh," the blond boy put his hands on his hips. "Do not worry, my friends! Because I, the Pokémon Master, Barry, will be the first one to get them all!"

"This isn't a contest," both trainers replied bored.

"Oh, who're you? I thought you were Lucas and Dawn, the friends who should cheer on me!"

Dawn looked straight to him. "Barry, will you keep your mouth shut for a moment? I think I'm going to pass out after all the so cheery things you've been saying for the last 3 hours! Sheesh!"

Barry rolled his eyes. "Bah, whatever. We should find somewhere to rest."

"That's our main problem," Lucas said. "You made us all get lost."

Barry looked at the girl walking behind them without even a single trail of emotion on her face. "How 'bout you, Marley?"

"..." Marley stared at him in annoyance.

"...Okay, I know," Barry lifted his hands and shoulders. "I don't know why did you tag along with us to begin with."

"Shaymin..." Marley responded.

"And how do you expect us to find Shaymin anyway?" Lucas asked.

"I have my reasons..." Marley responded.

"...You're weird." Barry shuddered as he pointed forward to the main road. "My senses are tingling! There's a mansion over there!"

"My senses, however, are telling me that I need to strangle your throat." Dawn said.

"Oh, seriously!" Barry looked at her. "I know this time for real! A mansion is waiting for us at the edge of the forest to Snowpoint City!"

"We got lost close to the Resort Area, genius!" Dawn yelled irritated.

"We did? I guess I forgot..."

A muttering grunt came from Marley.

"Anyway!" Barry began to ran above his same position. "I gotta go and ask for hospitality in that mansion I can see in my mind! See ya!" Barry began to spring very fast towards the exit of the forest.

"...Should we follow him...I'm worried if he crashes into another trainer...for the 20th time..." Marley said.

"...We should," Lucas got a shocked look. "If the trainer is close to another street and if Barry bumps into him while there is a car..."

Dawn gasped. "O-oh no! I-I'm not going to pay another $100,000 Pokeyens for a broken leg or give away a Pokémon from mine! It's your turn, Lucas!"

Lucas gulped. "F-follow that hyper trainer!"

The trio began to run after Barry...

...And what looked to be towards the Smash Mansion...

"Barry's Busting Out All Over Here Too! Yeah! My biggest debut in something so big!" Barry yelled in excitement.

Chapter 120: Barry's Busting Out All Over Here Too!

Smash Mansion
Outside

Pokémon Platinum - Battle Frontier

On the road, far from road, these trainers didn't feel alone. Barry felt brave and strong and together they could be, it was their desti...

...The sentence you just read suddenly made you shudder...

Now, probably you're wondering who are these guys? Well, here are their bios.

Meet Lucas, the Pokémon Trainer researcher and...well, trainer from Sandgem Town. Lucas is your typical under-the-scary-professor-aide who dedicates his life to fill the Pokedex so it helps Rowan's research about the evolution of Pokémon. Lucas has a little sister that watches so much TV but is able to tell what Pokémon are on which route...so the rivals of his brother defeat or humiliate him (even Dawn or Barry) since she hates him secretly behind his back. Maybe it's the fact that both of them share the same room and Lucas has snores issues? Who knows.

Lucas has achieved the completion of the Sinnoh Dex and now he's very devoted to complete the National Pokédex that Professor Oak requested (to himself, Dawn and Barry).

When he met Dawn and Barry for the first time while on a field research with Rowan, the 3 agreed to travel together through Sinnoh and overcome whatever difficulty could arise before them. They defeated them all though. Lucas could be also referred as the voice of reason between the bickerings of Dawn and her insane childhood friend, Barry.

Lucas owns a Chimchar that for whatever reason it didn't evolve. Well, he knew Pokémon battles very well so he knows how to handle them very well anyway.

Now, meet Dawn. She is your typical loli trainer from Twinleaf Town. Dawn is friends with Barry, a childhood friend that apparently is hyper in so many times and ways. Dawn wanted to be a trainer...because Barry forced her too or else he'd fine her $1 million Pokeyens, but mostly she wanted to be one after choosing her own Pokémon, Piplup. Dawn's mother, Johanna, was an expert Pokémon Coordinator at her age, so Dawn aims to be one.

Dawn has successfully completed the Sinnoh League, and she is currently trying to be a top coordinator while she works to complete the National Pokédex as Lucas and Barry.

Dawn knew her friend Barry very well for being rather energetic (hyper) from her own childhood. Because of Barry, she went through a lot of mishaps (not to mention catastrophic ones, along with Lucas there after) where she apologized to whatever person Barry made a mistake on. The blond trainer shows off a lot before he gets defeated and thinks the same anyway, much for Dawn's dismay.

Dawn owns a Piplup that she newly got from her Empoleon that bred with a...Ditto? Why the heck a Ditto?

Meet Barry, a very enthusiastic trainer who started his adventure with several THUDs with Dawn. Barry is very optimistic about his goals that he tends to act very oddly around his friends (that sadly, are with him). Barry doesn't care what the other people thinks about him so he's carefree. He goes by his own motto, "Hakyni Matata," which meant the perseverance of a Hariyama, the "legendaryness" of a Kyogre, the toughness of a Nidoking, whatever good trait a Magikarp had, the horns of a Tauros (which he didn't have or owned), and the cuteness of a little Taillow.

For some reason, he got sued by this motto and so he stopped using it.

Barry has (somehow) successfully "owned" the Pokémon League and proved himself worthy to participate at the Battle Frontier, which his dad, Palmer, works for. Barry also works harder to achieve the completion of his National Pokédex with his friends. After this, he's going to scam people out of their minds and time (if that's even scamming) once he works with his dad since Barry thinks Palmer scams people out with their battles.

Speaking of Palmer, he is a very "hero" type trainer that commands the Battle Tower. Dawn once met him...or his chest since the rather hyper trainer ran into her before Barry could tackle his dad down (Dawn thinks Barry bumped into him) in happiness. Dawn thinks that this facility is evil since she couldn't achieve 48-wins to face Palmer since a trainer showed up and beat her very badly. It is believed that the facility is evil, and now it was going to be even more since it closed so it could become the Battle Frontier that was going to open in a year. That's right, more Frontier Brains were coming to torture the trainers' mind (but Dawn thinks their brains could explode by listening to Barry's own mind, except his dad, who's very proud).

Back with Barry, he has achieved...even more accidents than a retarded Slowpoke could do. Barry's mom can't believe that both her son and husband are such "distracted" people. The question about why Dawn (and unfortunately Lucas) are traveling together with him remains in a huge mystery to a Dunsparce's mind. Their journey together as friends, maybe? Heh, I'd like to see that.

Barry currently owns a Turtwig that he bred with a Ditto like Dawn did with her Piplup. Barry actually acted evil towards Dawn so he offered the loli trainer to choose her Pokémon first and get an advantage with his super effective side over hers. Sadly, he's lost every match, despite his older Turtwig evolving to a Torterra...because Dawn taught Empoleon how to use Blizzard.

Meet Marley who...tagged along since she thought they could find Shaymin, a Legendary Pokémon that it alters its body to another form. Marley is your typical emo girl that actually acts cool (in some creepy way). Marley is...from somewhere, since she doesn't like to let people know about her own personal matters. Marley is rather unspoken and she tends to be serious as she trails off.

The butterfly-ribbon-wearer girl is owner of an Arcanine, Weavile, Crobat, Electrode and Ninjask that, unlike the previous trio, are in her possession as a whole strong team of 5.

Marley is an expert at Pokémon battles so, no pissing her off or else you'll get the "...You suck so bad..." by her.

Now, onwards with their massive, amazing adventure in the Sinnoh region to collect all the Pokémo...

...Oh, wait, they are here instead of over there.

"Will you stop running like that?!" Dawn yelled to his childhood friend as she gave chase for him.

"Relax! I can see the mansion!" Barry yelled over his shoulder as the trio climbed a big hill that was close to a weird big dome of ice that they didn't bother to inspect at all, or maybe they ignored it.

Barry stopped on his trails as he reached the top before the other 3 reached him and watched shocked (though Marley just blinked a little amused) after spotting the sight of a mansion over the distant.

The blond boy grinned and closed his eyes. "Dawn, my $1 million."

"I'm giving you only 1 million slaps by my Piplup." Dawn said with a pout.

"Well..." Lucas scratched his hat. "Since we're here, why don't we ask for some rooms? I'm sure if we act nice the person or people who own the mansion could give us a room."

"...There's a 10 percent of that happening...but my skirt is getting wet of all the snow..." Marley commented as she slowly wiped some snow off her skirt.

"Then off we go!" Barry proclaimed as he ran through a path of snow that were somehow familiar and leaded to the mansion itself. "Hurray! The gods put a path towards my better destiny!"

"...Follow him as always..." Dawn muttered as they continued their way.

Music stops

Right on the other side of the long path of snow and close to where the entrance was, there were Red and Squirtle talking between themselves while Red sat on the small step and Squirtle stood besides him. Ivysaur wasn't there for the cold climate and the trainer decided to put him inside his Pokeball.

Red sighed depressed. "Squirtle..."

"Yes?" Squirtle looked up.

"Don't you think something is missing in our lives?"

"What do you mean?"

"After I spent all the night studying Chris's guide, it told about many trainers that I was supposed to fight against..."

Squirtle blinked before looking down. "...I know..."

"I-I don't feel like the Pokémon Trainer I was supposed to be..." Red looked down. "I mean, sure, fighting to save all the worlds is a big important task, but there are no trainers to battle."

"W-well..." Squirtle shifted his eyes. "There's always the path back to our world."

"...I'm sorry, but I don't want to go back..." Red looked at him. "I've already decided what I wanted to do...but..."

"...You want to fight trainers..."

"N-not only fight them because who knows, I could become friends... Pikachu told me that his trainer, Ash, met many trainers that he got acquainted with."

"Hmm..." Squirtle wondered for a moment. "...Isn't Chris and trainer because he has Lucario?"

"...But he doesn't do that much for Pokémon battles. He fights alongside Lucario."

Squirtle glared at Red. "Nonsense! You fight alongside us, too!"

"But what gives?" Red asked. "So far, I haven't done anything big yet in a fight. Remember that we got frozen inside an ice wall?"

"...W-well..." Squirtle played with his fingers. "...Y-yeah..."

"Then..." Red stood up and adjusted his hat. "...I want to think about something very crucial and I need you to help me think about it."

Squirtle forced a worried smile. "O-okay, just don't let it be that shocking."

"...I won't." Red said before both walked inside and closed the door.

"Make sure you put a good lock on it." Squirtle spoke from behind the door.

"O-oh, sure." Red said as he put a lock on it.

Just at that moment, a blond trainer came from the path of snow and stopped while he stared at the door with several pants before he smiled. "Y-yeah, I made it! Here we are, guys!"

"W-wait..." Lucas panted heavily as he put his hands on his knees to catch his breath. "S-stop...running like that...during this temperature..."

"Pfft," Barry crossed his arms. "You guys need to chill it out, seriously."

"...You're an idiot..." Marley commented with several pants.

"Whatever," Barry looked at the door. "Now, we just need to enter inside and find a room."

"Hold on a moment!" Dawn called out.

"I thought you were tired?"

"We're going to ask for a room, not just barge in and rest like nothing happens!"

"If you remember, people don't mind us to get inside their homes, and whatever is dropped on the floor is ours to take," Barry explained with a snicker. "Seriously, they're so stupid. What the heck happened to their common sense?"

"...I wonder where you left yours...everytime I see your face..." Marley said, making Barry sweatdrop.

"...E-er...so, what'd you say, Lucas?"

"...As much as I hate to say this...we should enter and do whatever we want."

"Onwards then!" Barry exclaimed happily as he tried to open the door. "...Stupid door won't open..."

"Like the one at Canalave City," Dawn said. "...Wait a second, it's still bad to just barge in!"

"We'll enter from the windows!" Barry said as he pointed at the windows...closed. "Grr, this is pissing me off now. Lucas! Take out Chimchar and order him to break the windows down!"

Lucas looked at him. "I'm not a thief, nor a home wrecker!" Lucas protested.

"...You, on the other hand..." Marley trailed off as she looked at Barry.

"Oh, right!" Barry snapped his fingers (as the others sweatdropped minus Marley) and tossed his Pokeball high up where Turtwig came out...and bit his leg. "AAAHH!! TURTWIG! STOP IT!"

"How come all the Pokémon you caught seem to crave for your leg?" Lucas asked.

"Karma." Dawn responded simply as Turtwig let go of Barry's leg.

"Okay, you little Pokémon with a twig on his head, Tackle on the window!"

"Wig!" Turtwig nodded and he rammed to the window...before he got pushed back to the snow where he got knocked out. "Wiiiig..."

"...Hmm..." Barry inspected the window. "Unbreakable windows, not many have one of these here."

"Ahem, your Pokémon?" Dawn coughed.

"Oh, you're right. TURTWIG!" Barry ran to Turtwig and picked him up. "Turtwig! You little bastard, come back to your senses!"

"Why do I think Frustration is a good move for Turtwig?" Lucas asked with a frown.

"..." Marley merely walked away from them and to another window that was further to the left, where she peeked inside and found a big kitchen. "...They have food on here..."

"Really?!" Barry asked as he put Turtwig back to his Pokeball and tripped by an ice block. "Oww! Stupid ice block!" Barry picked the ice block (and couldn't see that it had a mauve imp (Chip) inside) and kicked it to the sky. "There! Go annoy Cyrus if you can!" Barry shouted before he ran to the mirror with Dawn and Lucas following.

They were asking themselves what was inside the ice, but forgot about it later.

"...Hmm..." Marley ducked a little to stay looking inside the big kitchen.

"Wow, look at that! There's a huge kitchen for a restaurant in there!" Dawn said amazed.

"...Huh? Wait, duck a little more. I think there's someone walking inside." Lucas said as the 4 ducked.

"...I spy with my little left eye a Slaking." Barry said, narrowing his eyes.

"..." Lucas took out his Pokedex. "...Nope, it says that gorilla isn't a Slaking."

"...The tie looks cute on him..." Marley remarked.

"...Wait a minute, what is a gorilla doing inside a mansion?" Dawn asked confused.

"Duh, it's the owner, genius." Barry said.

Dawn hit him on the head. "I'm not stupid!"

"Don't hit me!" Barry spat back as he hit Dawn on her own head.

"H-hey! What are you doing?! You're not supposed to hit a girl!"

"Screw women rules! I'm changing them for good!"

"...Oh, then..." Marley took a Pokeball and Arcanine came out before it stomped Barry's poor little body.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Barry yelled after Arcanine wanted to bite his face off.

"M-Marley, don't you think you're going too far on Barry?" Lucas asked terrorized.

"...Frankly speaking...no," Marley smiled a little. "...I like to make him suffer...a little bit..."

"Well, that's kind of going far."

"...Fine...party pooper..." Marley called her Arcanine back and Barry sighed in relief before quickly returning to the window. "...You're okay?..."

"..." Barry grunted annoyed and kept staring inside. "...Now I spy with my little trainer eye...a Sandshrew!"

"As far as I know, Sandshrews aren't blue and...humanoid-looking?" Lucas answered confused.

"...You're thinking too much..." Marley said. "...Nothing can prove that the hedgehog inside is humanoid..."

"...He's talking with the ape?!" Barry asked shocked.

Dawn leaned her ear to the window. "...Oh my! T-they're using English like humans!"

"Seriously?!" Barry asked as he leaned his ear on the window. "...Holy Gulpin's crap! It's true!"

"Well..." Lucas looked miffed. "I don't find it too interesting...unless Pokémon could talk, that is."

"Hey, I have some sort of crazy but awesome idea!" Barry spoke up. "What if those animals inside are undiscovered Pokémon?"

"Like the time you thought Volkner was one?" Dawn asked with a bored look.

"It wasn't my fault the guy liked Electric Pokémon so much!"

"You hit him with a Pokeball, and I think he also fell inside the big gears of the Gym..." Lucas shrugged. "Nobody could challenge him for at least a month, thanks to you."

"Then you got an "earful" by him." Dawn added.

"That earful was more like a grunt to me." Barry said, crossing his arms.

"...Back to the "undiscovered" Pokémon..." Marley interrupted as they all focused their views inside.

"Oh, there's a Vulpix in there too." Barry said.

"...I don't believe that's a Vulpix. I don't see its 6 tails or red fur...this one is well..." Lucas thought for a moment. "...Humanoid as well. It's talking with the gorilla and the hedgehog."

"...He looks handsome..." Marley blushed a little. "...I want to rub his tail a little..."

The 3 looked at her with shocked looks before shaking their heads in unison and then looked inside.

"...I like cute things..." Marley commented with a small glare.

"Screw this," Barry took out a Pokeball. "Let's catch them all before they run away!"

"W-wait!" Lucas interrupted. "T-there are even more of them now!"

"I spy with both of my eyes a Slakoth, a Poochyena, a Cranido-ooh, it's shiny! A Hitmonch-"

"That one is human." Dawn interrupted.

"Whatever!" Barry yelled as he stood up and grabbed the window from below. "It's hunting time!"

And for their shock, the blond trainer raised up the window and everyone inside stopped talking and looked at the trainers.

"S(BEEP!)T! THEY'RE LOOKING AT YOUR SKIRT, DAWN!" Barry yelled.

"W-what?!" Dawn asked embarrassed.

"Oh, god! Let's get out of here while we can!" Lucas yelled as the quartet quickly closed the window and ran away.

Kitchen

"...Who were those guys just now?" Diddy asked confused.

"Kids who don't have nothing better to do except bother us." Wolf responded with an annoyed grunt.

"Aw, too bad. The girls were so young." C. Falcon said.

"...You seriously are returning to your pervert side again..." Yoshi said with a bored look.

"Hmph." C. Falcon looked away.

Outside

Pokémon Platinum - Encounter! Officer Looker!

"This is all your fault, Dawn!" Barry yelled behind some trees.

"E-excuse me?! M-my fault?! W-who was the one who opened the window?" Dawn asked irritated.

"They weren't going to look at us if it weren't for your short skirt! Seriously! What the hell is wrong with that thing?!"

Lucas rolled his eyes. "And here we go again in another amazing quarrel, imaginary ladies and gentlemen..."

"...I was expecting this..." Marley responded.

"Anyways!" Barry stopped arguing with Dawn as the latter crossed her arms annoyed. "Our main mission is to get inside the mansion and catch them all!"

"Geez, you sure are so energetic and dedicated today." Lucas said.

"Like he isn't the previous days before this one." Dawn said.

"...But I'm not too sure, guys..." Lucas wondered for a moment. "...Are they Pokémon at least?"

"...I was hoping the chimpanzee and the fox could be...oh well..." Marley sighed.

"...They were wearing clothes." Dawn muttered.

"Maybe they have cold, like us outside!" Barry said. "Pokémon are not retards, for crying out loud."

"And that reminds me about getting a room inside." Lucas said.

"...Maybe they're wearing disguises?" Dawn asked.

"Their tails and whatever other thing they had moved very realistic," Barry said. "Times like I wish to have my Heracross."

"I took my Piplup, Staraptor, Luxray, Krickectune, Rotom and Banette with me." Dawn said.

"And I took Chimchar, Cherrim, Gliscor, Bronzong, Gabite and Vileplume." Lucas said.

"...What th-we promised we weren't going to use 6 Pokémon for our research!" Barry said.

"And let ourselves get defeated by those strong Pokémon out there? Forget it, I'd rather stay prepared for anything than you." Dawn said.

"...You were the only one who took a Pokémon...dork..." Marley said.

"...J-just you wait here!" Barry said angrily. "I'm going to return here with my Pokémon and we'll catch those Pokémon inside! And when I mean us I mean myself!" Barry yelled before he ran away inside the forest.

"...Let him get lost..."

"Agreed." Lucas and Dawn said in unison.

30 minutes later...

"I'm baaaaaaaack!" Barry yelled as he rode his Rapidash before stopping close to them and calling his Pokémon back to his Pokeball. "Phew, I'm back from the Pokémon Cent-" he noticed that the trainers were glaring at him. "...Oh, don't tell me Marley said something to make you mad at me now."

"You knucklehead!" Lucas yelled angrily. "You're saying you came back from the Pokémon Center and didn't get lost?"

"Well, duh! That's what I did!"

"Then why didn't you tell us before? W-we could've had returned to the Resort Area by now!" Dawn yelled.

"Excuse me, but I didn't have my team of awesome Pokémon, didn't I?"

"...May I suggest a slow and painful death?..." Marley suggested.

"...Later..." Lucas sighed and tried his best to calm down. "Okay, Barry, lead us back home."

"I kinda forgot the way back," Barry looked at the trail of snow with a chuckle. "Freaking snow erased it."

"LET ME KILL HIM! LET ME KILL HIM!" Lucas yelled as Dawn held him back from murdering Barry.

"Oh, wanna fight, huh?" Barry put his fists in front of him and jumped to the sides. "Then fight, man! I want to see some intense fist action!"

"..." Marley walked to Barry and hand-chopped his head.

"Oww!"

"...You deserved it..." Marley responded with an annoyed look.

"Ugh," Lucas closed his eyes annoyed as Dawn let him go. "Okay, enough about the quarrels. We need to actually ask the people in there for a room."

"Then we catch them? Wow, dude! You're seriously a genius!" Barry remarked with a grin.

"We're not catching any of them, for the last time!"

"Then you suck! We have to!" Barry pointed at one window. "Or else that Mewtwo over there is gonna get away!"

"...Mewtwo, you say?" Lucas asked with a bored look as the smarter trio looked at the window 3 floors above. "You're not convincing me with...oh god..."

"..." Marley's eyes seemed to get wider by at least .1cm.

"T-that's Mewtwo! N-no doubt about it!" Dawn said surprised. "I've heard Mewtwo escaped from a Pokémon Lab a long time ago, b-but he's inside the mansion!"

"And he's ours to take!" Barry proclaimed. "We need to infiltrate the building!"

"..." Dawn sighed. "...If you can't defeat them..."

"Join them." Lucas added with a frown.

"...Then kill them when they don't expect it..." Marley added.

"So, my fellow Pokémon Trainers, are we clear about our mission?" Barry asked.

"Get the information of Mewtwo." Lucas said as both girls nodded.

"NO! We're gonna catch that fat tail Pokémon and rule over the world!"

"For some reason we got rid of Team Galactic, remember?" Dawn asked.

"Yeah, because their hairstyles were for queers."

"...Besides that!"

"They were all looking the same as all the Galactic Grunts?"

"B-besides that!"

"The fact Cyrus was such an emo, and he was young despite looking old?"

"B-b-besides that!"

"Stop!" Lucas interrupted. "We should get going now!"

"Right, weaken it so I can catch it." Barry nodded.

"How about point our Pokedexes at it then go away? I've heard Mewtwo possess heavy psychic powers." Dawn suggested as the trio walked towards the mansion from the right side.

"...If it attacks...throw Barry at it...so we can escape..." Marley suggested.

"I'll toss you instead!" Barry yelled annoyed, which Marley replied by rolling her eyes.

The quartet carefully ducked and walked underneath the windows.

Then, from one, came a big explosion that shattered the glass.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Barry yelled out as they quickly sneaked further ahead.

?'s Room

Somebody was coughing inside the room where the explosion took place. Smoke flew everywhere as a hand tried to move it away from the window.

"D-darn..." the voice spoke. "T-this Blastia was sure weird...because it had weird mechanisms on it... What a pain, I wasted it totally..."

Surprise, it was Rita Mordio, who messed around with a familiar microwave.

"Talk about annoying..." Rita sighed. "Oh, well, I guess that's what I get for messing around with it," she made an annoyed expression. "The fact I was the one who destroyed it makes me mad, though... Ugh, I'm not going to make the same mistake again if I find another Blastia inside this mansion."

...Wait, why is she going towards the door?

"To hell with it, I'm going to look for another Blastia and check out what functions it has." Rita said before she left the room.

Red's Room

"It Takes Mewtwo to Tango?" Red read on the guide.

Squirtle and Ivysaur (wrapped up in bed sheets) chuckled. "Mewtwo doing tango. I can picture that very well." Ivysaur said.

"Hey, check it out, it says here what items are."

"Nobody uses items." Squirtle said.

"But I'm going to," Red looked back at the guide. "Hmm... So, Brock has these Pokémon with him..." he looked at his Pokémon. "And I have a big advantage..."

"Didn't you say you weren't going to go back?"

Red blinked before looking down. "...Yeah, I know."

"...Look, Red, we can go back if you want."

"N-no!" Red stood up from his chair. "We still need to catch Charizard, remember? We were supposed to be together in a team, all the 4 of us!"

"...But he's kind of a...I don't know...jerk?" Ivysaur asked with a glare.

"Just because you're a Grass type, it doesn't mea-"

"Grass types hate Fire types, simple as that." Ivysaur dug his chin inside the bed sheets.

"Yet you want to get warm." Squirtle pointed out.

"Hey! We Grass types need to stay neutral between cold and heat!"

"I can handle both very well."

"Show off..." Ivysaur closed his eyes annoyed.

Red chuckled before looking back at the guide. "...I wonder...I wonder if we can meet real trainers like me...or am I a trainer?"

Squirtle rolled his eyes. "Oh no, we're not jumping from "I want to meet trainers!" to "I'm a real trainer?" here."

"O-oh, sorry."

"Apology accepted." Ivysaur said before digging his head inside the bed sheets where he sighed in pleasure.

Command Room

"What? Kids?" Master Hand asked.

Yoshi nodded. "There were some kids trying to enter the kitchen by the window but they got scared when we all looked at them."

"Hmm..." Master Hand looked away. "Weird, there shouldn't be anyone out there since the city is blocked..."

"They looked like this: one was a boy with a funny red hat and white scarf, another one was a girl with a short skirt, even though she was wearing a sweater, another girl looked kind of depressed but she was oddly staring at some of us for long periods of time, and the last one was this boy with blond hair and very hyperactive mood."

"...Nope, no idea who they are," Master Hand looked at Yoshi. "Did they get scared?"

Yoshi nodded. "A lot. The blond boy yelled very loudly and I twitched a little."

"Are those kids around the mansion?"

"Er, who knows."

"...Well, do tell the others about them. The last thing we want is to call their parents."

"They looked kind of mature to me," Yoshi rubbed his chin. "Though the blond one wasn't for who knows how many ways. What if they enter the mansion?"

"Snake's face will scare them off."

"I heard that." Snake said as he walked from the hallway with a grunt.

"It is." Master Hand said.

"Totally." Yoshi nodded.

Outside

"Stop," Lucas whispered as he stood up and took out his journal. "Journal time."

"Oh, right," Barry got up and took his own journal. "Write down what we've achieved so far."

"...Well...I agree." Dawn said as she took her journal out.

"..." Marley took her own out as well.

"There," Lucas said as they all put their journals away. "Now, let's go."

The quartet ducked and sneaked close to the wall and the windows...then Barry opened on.

"Barry!" Dawn whispered angrily.

Barry stuck his head out. "Relax! This is what we were going to do anyway!"

"...For once, he is right..." Marley responded.

"Everybody in..." Lucas said in a bored tone.

Ganondorf's Room

"...U-um...g-guys..." Barry backed away once they all entered in.

Surely, finding blood around the walls with images of a swordsman and a princess (with their faces cut in half) and pretty much everywhere wasn't a pretty view, right?

"I-I think I'm gonna piss my pants 4 times..." Barry whimpered.

"...I like the style..." Marley said, smiling a little as she ran a hand on the bloody wall.

"W-what kind of girl are you, anyway?" Dawn asked as she embraced herself. "O-oh, the cold isn't getting into me, i-it's the creepy atmosphere in here!"

"S-sure," Lucas nodded gulping. "L-let's just get over that door and go through it..."

The trainers decided to walk over a pit full of spikes that layed down between the door and themselves. Surely, Ganondorf had a weird taste of violence, even at the point to make his room a small dungeon with all sorts of traps...and spill blood all over it.

"...E-er, so, Lucas! I heard you were such a brave man...screw it. GO! OPEN IT!" Barry yelled.

"Quiet! They could hear us!" Dawn whispered in shock. "C-can we leave this place already?"

"Cross the pit!"

"Y-you first!"

"...Can we stay here?..." Marley asked, sitting on a dark chair.

"NO!" the trio yelled back.

"...Idiots..." Marley muttered in annoyance.

And so, they crossed the pit...or just got around it.

Hallway

The trio (except Marley) sighed in relief and sat down on the floor.

"W-what kind of mansion is this, anyway?" Barry asked, looking around.

"Full of weird Pokémon?" Lucas asked.

"...Wow," Dawn looked around. "...This place is...so gorgeous-looking..."

"...Hmm." Marley said as she shifted her eyes slowly at the sides.

"Hey! I have a better idea!" Barry stood up and made a fist. "Let's own this place for ourselves!"

"I-I don't think the owner is going to like that at all." Lucas said sweatdropping.

"Bah! The owner my butt. If we catch those Pokémon here, then nothing or nobody is going to stop us from achieving our plans!"

"...If they have law suits...you're dead, Barry." Marley said.

"Law suits, yeah, right," Barry rolled his eyes and adjusted his scarf. "C'mon! Exploration time!"

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl - Eterna Forest

"If I were an odd Pokémon, where could I be?" Barry asked, crossing his arms.

"Far away from you." Lucas and Dawn said at the same time.

"...Well, that doesn't help too much..." Barry said.

"...It does." Marley added.

"Who ASKED you?" Barry asked irritated. "Look, just follow me and we'll eventually find our precious loot of Pokémon!"

"You promise you're not going to get us lost again?" Lucas asked.

"I swear it for my dad's extra Cresselia that I'm not going to!" Barry said.

"...For once, he made an important point," Dawn wondered. "If I remember, didn't he have a Regigigas too?"

Lucas made a bored look. "The fact we saw one at Snowpoint Temple and that he owns one is really confusing. Remember what Candice said before?"

A cloud formed above Dawn's head as Candice, the Gym Leader from Snowpoint City, appeared with a cheerful smile. "Oh, and please, watch out in there! There's the only known Regigigas of the entire region of Sinnoh! Absolutely no one else owns a Regigigas as far as I know because it's like super rare. Nobody! Nobody! Nobody! Nobody! Nobody! Nobody! Nobody!"

The cloud disappeared.

"Nobody!" the voice rang inside their heads (except Marley's head).

"My dad owns one 'cuz he's awesome...like me and my Pokémon!" Barry said proudly.

"Hey, Dawn." Lucas whispered.

"Yes?" Dawn whispered.

"Did he hit his head when he was a baby?"

"Many, but many times."

"Oh."

"ONWARDS!" Barry yelled as he began walking soldier style, further deeper into the hallway while the others decided (or didn't have another option) to follow him.

"Shh!" Lucas whispered. "Don't go yelling everywhere or else we're bound to startle someone..."

"Who's someone?" Barry whispered. "I bet they don't know we're here."

"We got inside without anyone seeing us." Dawn reminded in a bored tone.

"I thought someone did," Barry said as they continued walking down. "...'Kay, no idea where they are."

"...I don't know why did I come here again." Marley said.

"Me neither." Lucas and Dawn said in unison with a sigh of disappointment.

"If I remember, quiet girl wants some animals." Barry said.

"..." Marley looked away.

"Friends want data from super-rare Pokémon."

"...Ugh." Lucas and Dawn said at the same time.

"Cool trainer wants Mewtwo." Barry pointed at himself.

"Stupid trainer wants to get pummeled." Dawn muttered.

"What?"

"Friend wants to conquer the world, while we don't agree with you."

"Sweet! Just like that!" Barry said. "Now, if just Master Wake could be here to see how awesome I've gotten..."

"Didn't he kick you out from his Gym when you got inside and set up a camp?" Lucas asked.

"Because he wanted to give me his strong kick of acceptance!"

"...Somebody, please find Barry's brain at once." Marley said.

"And somebody replace Marley with Cheryl. Cheryl was much nicer with everyone and pretty me."

"She's a little bit naive." Dawn commented.

"Not as naive as Pearl, that is..." Lucas muttered.

"...Odd Pokémon." Marley said.

"What?" the trio asked before they turned their heads forward and found an "odd Pokémon" staring at them.

"Y-you're the guys who tried to enter before...and you're in here!" Yoshi yelled as he pointed at them.

"BANZAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!!!" Barry tossed a Pokéball at high speed that hit Yoshi's head so hard that the Yoshi passed out and fainted, falling face-first on the floor with Xs on his eyes. "Dammit! It doesn't get inside the Pokéball!"

"Of course not!" Lucas yelled.

"Right!" Barry took out an Ultra Ball. "Ultra Balls are way better that crappy Pokéballs!"

We also noticed the difference between names so now we're correcting that and write "Poké Ball" right.

Dawn facepalmed. "Y-you dork! A Poké Ball is the same as all the other Poké Balls! Y-you just killed it!"

Barry got annoyed. "Fine!" the blond trainer tried to tore open the ball with both hands. "I'll make it enter instead! Ugh! Stupid thing won't open!"

[The Seventh]

LOL The remark about Dawn and Marley from Captian Falcon reminded me of pedo bear :D

Also, interesting twist with having them enter the picture.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Will you stop that?" Dawn pointed at the knocked Yoshi. "Y-you killed him!"

Lucas checked Yoshi's pulse while he pointed his Pokedex at him. "...Nope, it's still living. No new Pokémon eithe-"

At that moment, Barry slammed the Ultra Ball on Yoshi, but it just bounced off and made a bump on Yoshi's head.

"I told you this isn't a new Pokémon!" Lucas yelled, looking up at Barry.

"Whoops, I thought it was a Digimon but they're supposed to look more evil instead of this...though they look soooooo cool when they grow into beasts." Barry said.

"...A what again?"

"No clue." Barry shrugged.

"...You don't make any sense." Lucas said before he stood up.

"If this wasn't a Pokémo-"

"Digimon." Barry interrupted Dawn.

"Pokémon, then does that mean the others here aren't as well?"

"Blasphemy, Dawn!" Barry yelled proudly. "They must be Pokémon!"

"...I have my hopes then." Marley smiled a little.

"Barry." Lucas reminded Marley, who then disappeared her smile.

"So then," Barry stepped on Yoshi's back and pointed to some stairs close to them. "We'll climb up those stairs and reach the Mewthree!"

"MewTWO." Lucas corrected.

"Whatever, Mewfour then!" Barry said with a chuckle before they all sighed and followed the trainer.

"Where's a REAL Pokémon to show Barry how wrong he is?" Dawn asked.

"...There..." Marley pointed forward.

"...Pfft, big deal," Barry rolled his eyes. "A Pichu."

"!!!" Pichu gulped and sweated.

"OOOOOOOOHH!! HOW CUTE!" Dawn squealed with glee.

"..." Marley blushed a bit.

"...C'mon! We don't have time for a Pichu!" Barry yelled. "Besides, what's so great about it?"

"H-hey!" Pichu spoke. "I-I'm a very special Pichu! M-mind your manners!"

Big error.

"...Pardon me...but did it just..." Lucas pointed slowly at Pichu.

"...It? I'm a mal-" Pichu blocked his mouth and gasped once the 4 stared at him with surprised looks (not counting Marley who just looked at him). "...I-I mean...Pipipi? Pi-chu?"

"..." Barry turned to them. "...You know what this means, right?"

"..." Dawn slowly took out a Luxury Ball. "...That Pichu is so mine..."

"(W-what?!)" Pichu thought with a gulp.

"...This means we can FINALLY understand Pokémish!" Barry exclaimed happily as he called out his Heracross. "Dude! I ALWAYS wanted to have a nice talk with you!"

"...Hera?" Heracross tilted its head.

"..." Barry called back his Pokémon before turning at Pichu with a serious face. "...Okay, everyone wants that rat, right?"

"If it helps Professor Rowan's research, then yes." Lucas said with a serious face as he took out a Nest Ball.

"..." Marley pulled out from her back a Premier Ball.

"Here's the deal," Barry began. "Whoever catches that Pichu is theirs to take and nobody will complain. We're clear on that, right?"

"But no harming the little thing!" Dawn said. "I think we can easily catch it with just throwing our Poke Balls at it."

"(O-oh Arceus, I-I didn't want to be captured this way! W-what are the others going to say?!... A-are they even going to ask me?!)" Pichu thought worried.

"...Go and catch it... I'll start." Marley said.

"(AAAAAHHHHH!!!)" Pichu yelled mentally.

"Then!" Barry exclaimed. "We'll start the hunting after 3!" the trainer turned to the Pokémon. "3...2...1............................"

"...It's gone..." Marley pointed out as a cloud of dust that had Pichu's image vanished.

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl - Oreburgh City (Night)

"...DAMMIT, DAWN! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" Barry yelled.

"M-my fault?! E-excuse me?!" Dawn asked angrily.

"GUYS!" Lucas yelled as he interrupted both Twinleavians. "A talking Pichu just escaped and it's not too far from our reach! We have to catch it in order to contribute the Pokémon science!"

"Heck no!" Barry interrupted. "I'll make money out of his voice! Think about all the fortunes and money we could gain!"

"A-are you nuts?" Dawn pouted a little. "I'm going to take it to a Pokémon Contest and we'll rule the stage!"

The trio turned to Marley...

...She was gone.

"...FOLLOW AND CATCH THAT MICKEY!" Barry yelled as the trio gave chase to catch Pichu.

This little event was the start of a horrible one.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! I MEAN, PIIIIIIIIIIIIICHUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Pichu yelled loudly as he ran through the hallway of the mansion. Before the Pokémon, there was Marley running after him, but then Barry got in first place (second if you counted Pichu) and after them, Dawn and Lucas followed.

"COME BACK HERE!" Barry yelled.

"PICHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Pichu yelled.

Several meters away from them, a door opened up and Pikachu came out from it. "What's the big problem here now?" Pikachu asked, looking around.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Pichu ran past in front of Pikachu.

"...Pichu? Why are you running?" Pikachu asked before he looked at the direction where Pichu came from and was ignored by Barry and Marley. "...Were those trainers just now?... Oh...you've got to be kidding me..."

"H-hey! Look!" Dawn yelled. "A Pikachu wearing a cute red coat!"

"(D-DAWN?!)" Pikachu thought with a gulp as Dawn went after him. "P-PIKACHU, PIIIIIIIIIIII!!!" Pikachu yelled as he joined in the chase.

"Come back! I'm here to take you to a better home!" Dawn yelled.

"NEVER! I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU!" Pikachu yelled before he got a shocked look. "P-Pikachu! Chu! Chu!"

"Sweet! It talks like Pichu!" Dawn said happily.

"PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!" Pikachu yelled loudly.

The whole group ran around the mansion and even to all the floors. They climbed and they went down the stairs all the way as they tried to catch any of the 2 Pokémon that later got closer.

Barry, however, was the one who was in the lead, followed by Marley, then Lucas and Dawn following.

"ISN'T THERE ANYBODY IN HERE TO HELP US?!" Pikachu yelled.

Several meters away from them, close to the stairs to the 5th floor, Olimar sat idly with a White Pikmin.

"What do you think the others in the sky are doing?" Olimar asked.

The White Pikmin merely stared at him.

"Oh, right." Olimar nodded with a chuckle.

"MAKE A PATH!" Pikachu yelled as both he and Pichu jumped over both characters and ran upstairs.

Olimar looked up. "W-why are you 2 running like that?"

"THEY WENT UP HERE!" Barry yelled as he stomped the first step (killing the White Pikmin) and pointed up. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"

"M-MY PIKMIN!" Olimar yelled.

"Huh?" Barry noticed a big white spot on his shoe. "Eww..." Barry brushed his shoe on the step to wipe it out as he then continued his original purpose while the other 3 ignored Olimar and went up.

"M-my...Pikmin..." Olimar moaned. "...W-why everybody doesn't care about them?... I-it's not fair...r-really..."

Back with the group of trainers.

"ANYONE! PLEASE! DAWN WANTS TO CATCH ME!" Pikachu yelled as Pichu dodged a Luxury Ball. "YIKES!"

"I-I don't want to have a random trainer yet!" Pichu yelled.

"TOO BAD!" Barry took out 2 Great Balls. "YOU ARE SOOOOOOO MINE!"

Several meters away, another door opened up and Marth came out, looking around. "Geez, why is there so much noise today?"

"GET AWAY!" Pikachu yelled as both Electric Pokémon ran in front of the Altean and away from him as he scratched his head in confusion.

"...Why that attitude?" Marth asked confused.

"Out of the way, girl!" Barry yelled as he passed in front of Marth.

"...G-girl?" Marth twitched.

"...Passing...coming through..." Marley said as she came running.

"...W-what is going on in here?"

"Sorry!" Dawn yelled as both she and Lucas passed. "W-we didn't mean to barge in but you don't know Barry that we..."

Marth couldn't hear Dawn once they were gone.

"...Hmm..." Marth wondered. "...Were they the "kids" who tried to enter?"

And back again with the group of Pokémon Trainers...

"Screw it!" Barry raised both Great Balls. "I'll catch 'em at the same time! GO!"

Both Pokémon turned their heads at the Great Balls and gasped. Both yelled and closed their eyes in shock.

Before the Great Balls could land on them, however, a door opened right between the mouses and balls, and the person who got out got hit twice on the head before fainting.

"CRAP! NOT A POKÉMON EITHER!" Barry yelled as he stepped on DK's dead body and took quickly his Great Balls from the floor.

"..." Marley stepped on his head as well.

"W-will you slow down and let us catch up with you?!" Lucas asked as he and Dawn jumped over DK.

"...Diddy..." DK muttered. "...Our bananas...turtle people...stealing them...smash them up..."

"Why isn't anybody trying to help us?!" Pikachu looked back as he ran. "They're trying to capture us! I-I don't want to see Ash again!"

"I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN MY SPECIAL BOX!" Barry yelled in excitement. "I'll earn lots of money with both!"

"...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" both Electric Pokémon yelled.

As before, several meters away from them, another door opened up and Fox came out.

"What's up with all the noise?" Fox asked confused.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!" Pichu yelled as he and Pikachu passed, leaving a trail of dust behind.

"...Wh-"

"OUTTA THE WAY!" Barry came just behind the other side of the door (since Fox's door didn't let the vulpine to see the trainer) and slammed it hardly before running after both Pokémon.

The door opened back up and Fox dropped fainted on the floor with a KO'd expression.

At that moment, Marley passed but then walked back. The unspoken trainer smiled a little and ducked to rub Fox's tail a little. Marley stood up, dropped the Premier Ball on Fox's head and it just rolled (after bumping his head) away a little.

"..." Marley's smile faded as she ducked and looked at the vulpine with an annoyed expression. "...Bummer..." Marley muttered before she saw Lucas and Dawn passing as she joined back.

Since Fox's room was technically next to Falco's room...

"S-S-S-S-S-S-SHUT UP!" Falco yelled from his room. "S-S-S-S-STOP YELLING! I CAN'T SLEEP!"

"Oh!" Barry came back and stuck his head from the door to look at Falco. "Staravia's hidden evolution! Sweet!"

"...W-w-w-w-w-w-what?" Falco asked before his face met a Net Ball. "..." Falco got knocked out as Barry quickly went for it and ran away.

He yelled "Evolve into something who CAN be captured!"

"...T-t-t-t-t-t-things are getting so w-w-w-w-w-w-weird..." Falco muttered before letting out a groan as he fainted.

Back with Pikachu and Pichu.

"Jigglypuff!" Pichu yelled as both spotted Jigglypuff. "Run! Trainers are in here to capture us!"

"Trainers?" Jigglypuff asked confused.

Pikachu stopped to point at them.

"...TRAINERS!" Jigglypuff yelled as she jumped on Pikachu's back and joined in the chase.

"H-hey! Why don't you run like us?!" Pikachu asked.

"I can't run that well! You 2 can!" Jigglypuff yelled.

"Aw, a talking Jiggylpuff!" Dawn yelled happily. "So much better than a Pikachu!"

"Phew!" Pikachu sighed.

"But I want them both!"

"CRAP!" Pikachu yelled as the trio of Pokémon yelled loudly.

"Hey!" Sonic appeared from besides as he ran along with the 3 (2 without Jigglypuff) with a grin. "Wanna have a race with me?"

"SONIC, THIS ISN'T A RACE! WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE OUR SOULS FROM GETTING INSIDE POKÉ BALLS!" Pikachu yelled.

"B-but I thought you were already owned by someone!" Pichu yelled.

"Well, yeah! But I need to keep Dawn away from me or else she'll tell Ash!"

Sonic ran backwards and looked at the trainers. "Wow, they sure are fast."

"That isn't the point!" Jigglypuff yelled. "We need to get away from them!"

"I have an idea!" Pikachu spoke up. "Sonic! Take us all somewhere away from those 4!"

"Gotch-"

Just when Sonic was about to give them a thumbs-up, Barry tossed his Ultra Ball so hard at the hedgehog's head and made him faint as he was stepped on by the 4 trainers. Barry picked up his Ultra Ball and managed to catch up with the 3.

"...I KNEW THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!" Pikachu yelled.

"W-wait!" Pichu stopped and panted heavily once he found a door. "Let's enter inside this door!"

"A-are you nuts? H-he's going to rip our heads off if we interrupt his privacy!" Pikachu yelled.

Jigglypuff pointed at the 4. "What's better? Being captured of being killed?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Oops."

"...Enter!" Pikachu yelled as the 3 entered inside in a hurry.

The 4 trainers stopped running and they looked at the door. "Finally...they're cornered..." Barry panted with a smile.

"I can't wait to show these Pokémon to Professor Rowan once we catch them..." Lucas said as he panted.

"...Enter..." Marley panted a little and turned the doorknob.

"...I have a bad feeling now..." Dawn muttered as she backed away a little to let the 3 enter first inside the almost dark room.

Mewtwo's Room

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl - Old Chateau

"..." Mewtwo slowly turned to them and narrowed his eyes.

"Bingo!" Barry exclaimed happily. "Those 3 idiots leaded us to Mewtwo! Man, I was waiting for this moment!"

"...E-er..." Dawn gulped as Mewtwo stared at them coldly. "...I-I think we made it a little mad..."

"(...Imbeciles...)" Mewtwo thought.

"...Okay..." Lucas took out a Poké Ball. "Guys, we have t-"

"Wait, Lucas! I thought you said we weren't going to capture Mewtwo!" Dawn interrupted before Lucas quickly put his Poké Ball away.

"I-I'm sorry, b-but Barry got me carried away..." Lucas laughed nervously.

Dawn sighed. "Well, for now we ju-"

"Heeeeeey...I feel like something is taking us..." Barry said.

"..." Marley looked down below his feet and they were levitating above the floor, then she looked forward to see Mewtwo holding out his hand at them. "...We're done for..."

"...Oh, thank you SO much, Barry!" Dawn yelled. "I wanted to have a GOOD life with Pokémon but noooooooooooo, I had to listen to you!" her eyes began to fill with tears before she broke out crying. "Waaaaaaaah! I wanted to become a Pokémon Coordinator! Not to mention beat Barry's dad!"

"Nobody can beat pops!" Barry proclaimed happily.

"U-ugh..." Lucas tried to reach his Pokédex but he couldn't due to Mewtwo's Confusion. "...Dammit...I can't..."

"Duh." Barry rolled his eyes.

"You shouldn't have entered here and interrupt my privacy," Mewtwo spoke before he glared at them. "I detest Pokémon Trainers so much that I want to kill you all, right here."

Dawn stopped crying. "W-wait! W-we'll leave you alone if that's what you want! R-really!"

"...Or we can offer you Barry..." Marley offered.

"...Oh, thank you, Marley," Barry glared at her. "I knew you were trying to kill me from the very beginning."

"...Wasn't it obvious?" Lucas asked with a bored look.

"It was?"

"SILENCE!" Mewtwo yelled irritated and the quartet looked at him. "I've had enough of Pokémon Trainers and all of you are NO exceptions. You must be killed in order to let me get peace."

"Kill Barry! He's the one who did all of this and dragged us as well!" Lucas yelled.

"Wait, what?" Barry looked at him. "Dude! All of you agreed from the beginning! If someone should be killed, it's Marley!"

"...Can you tore his brain out?" Marley asked.

"I have something better," Mewtwo began. "Compress your bodies."

"...BARRY! I HATE YOU!" Dawn yelled.

"...Or..." Mewtwo opened a window. "Just throw you outside and learn about this."

"Y-yes!" Lucas nodded as he sweated. "T-throwing us outside is so much better than compressing our bodies!"

"...W-wait!" Dawn interrupted. "M-Mewtwo, can I ask you 2 little and small favors?"

"Quick." Mewtwo said.

"C-can we obtain your data?"

"..." Mewtwo made their 3 Pokédexes float out from their pockets to examine him before they all returned to them.

"Sweet data...thank heavens..." Lucas sighed in relief.

"Done. What is the other favor?" Mewtwo asked, narrowing his eyes.

Dawn narrowed her eyes at Barry. "If you can read minds, would you see what is Barry thinking? Just for curiosity..."

"..." Mewtwo grunted. "Fine."

"H-huh?" Barry noticed that Mewtwo was entering his mind...

"...UGH!!!" Mewtwo grunted in extreme pain as he almost fell to one knee, but managed to stay up as he twitched a little.

"...What seems to be the problem?" Marley asked.

"I-I..." Mewtwo staggered. "I-I haven't wandered inside a mind where the thoughts are so insane and utterly scrambled... H-his thoughts can make someone's head get a horrible headache..."

A record scratched and Barry glared at him. "Hey! My thoughts are perfectly ordered! They aren't utterly scrambled!"

"...We thought as much..." Lucas, Dawn and Marley said in unison with bored looks.

"...You guys su-" Barry was interrupted.

"BEGONE AND LEAVE MY MIND ALONE FROM YOURS!" Mewtwo yelled as he quickly motioned his hand at the window and the 4 were tossed outside while they yelled (again, except Marley, who was a little bit amused). Mewtwo let out a small grunt as Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff came out from a dark corner of his room.

"Mewtwo, are you feeling okay?" Pikachu asked.

"..." Mewtwo closed his eyes. "I haven't read such an altered and twisted mind ever in my life before... I hope his was the last one..."

"...Y-you're not hurt, right?" Pichu asked concerned.

"...N-not that much..."

"Hey, Mewtwo, I wanted to ask you if you knew how to use Metronom-" Red came from the door with Squirtle and Ivysaur (wearing a small coat that was specifically made for him) and looked at the Psychic Pokémon dropped on one knee on the floor. "...What happened here?"

"Trainers got in here and tried to capture us!" Jigglypuff said shuddering.

"...Wait..." Red blinked one time before looking shocked. "...You mean Pokémon Trainers...were inside here...a moment ago?"

"Yes..." Pikachu rolled his eyes. "The blond one was a lot scarier than the other 3."

"...Red..." Squirtle looked up to his trainer. "...Do you think they're still outside?"

"...Dammit!" Red cursed as all the Pokémon looked at him. "I've got to meet them before they go! Squirtle, Ivysaur, let's go! Quick!"

Red ran away from the room in a hurry as both his Pokémon looked at each other and ran after him.

"...What's the matter with him?" Jigglypuff asked.

"If he's thinking about meeting them...THEN call them here..." Pikachu's cheeks began to release sparks. "I'm having 5 toasted trainers."

"Why didn't you attack them so we could get away from them faster?" Pichu asked.

"...Aw, fu-"

Outside

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl - Route 201

"..." Barry took out his head from a pile of snow and breathed deeply. "S-stupid Mewtwo! Stupid talking Pokémon! We were so close guys!"

"I know..." Dawn sighed as she stood up and wiped out snow from her scarf. "I was so psyched about Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff..."

"We all were," Lucas said as he stood up. "But I guess entering inside is a death wish now."

"...Barry, you go inside." Marley said.

Barry glared at her. "Hell no! I'm not going in and get killed!"

"...You sure know how to ruin my fun..." Marley commented annoyed.

"Well..." Dawn looked around before looking back at the mansion. "...I'm not sure, but we should get going..."

"Say WHAT again?!" Barry asked.

"We may as well leave and forget about them," Lucas said. "I don't want to die too."

"B-but what about the Mewtwo?!"

"Funny, I thought you said you weren't going in again."

"O-only for today! T-tomorrow we can think of another pla-"

"We're not demolishing the mansion." Dawn interrupted.

"Aw, Dawn! Don't skip my ideas!... And how did you know I was going to do that?"

"Because you said the same thing at Pastoria City's Great Marsh," Lucas began. "You promised to demolish the whole place because you couldn't catch a Wooper."

"And ironically, there was a BOMB accident in there by Team Galactic," Dawn gave him a bored look. "And who was the one who wanted to stop that?"

"Master Wake, you, Lucas and m-" Barry shook his head. "T-that's not the point right now! We have to think about a plan!"

"...Screw it..." Marley said as she began to walk away to the forest. "...I'm done with you."

"H-hey! Come back here!" Barry shouted.

"...You're not my mother..." Marley responded as she continued.

"I-I-ah, well, we need your help, Marley!"

"...And I need to stay alone and look for Shaymin...a thing you 3 haven't done that yet." Marley said as she turned to them.

"Remember?" Lucas pointed at Barry. "Barry here made us get lost. It's his fault."

"F-fine! I admit it! I made all of us get lost!"

"...What else?" Marley asked.

Barry groaned. "It was my fault we almost got discovered by the Pokémon who weren't real Pokémon at all."

"...And?"

Barry groaned again. "It's my fault we almost got killed by Mewtwo."

"And?" Dawn asked.

"It was my fault for hitting you."

"And?" Lucas asked.

"It was my fault I burned Eterna Gym's by accident with Ponyta."

"And?" Lucas and Dawn asked.

"It was my fault Gardenia got a trip to the hospital."

"And?" Lucas, Dawn and Marley asked.

"It was my fault we got in a lot of problems around ALL Sinnoh. There! I admitted all my mistakes and ideas!" Barry crossed his arms and looked away. "You guys just don't recognize my mind!"

"For better, of course." Dawn muttered.

"..." Barry sighed. "...Fine, let's hit the road and return to the Resort Area..."

"At last..." Lucas sighed.

The 4 Pokémon Trainers got closer to each other and started their way back to the Resort Area, through the paradise of snow that layed down on their path.

"WA-WAIT!" a voice shouted from the mansion.

"Guys, don't turn your backs now," Barry whispered as he walked. "They're probably trying to lure us inside where they're going to eat our..."

The blond trainer noticed that his friends weren't paying him any attention.

"...Ugh." Barry turned his back and looked back at the mansion where a Pokémon Trainer ran towards them with a Squirtle and an Ivysaur.

"Finally!" Dawn exclaimed. "A person who is a REAL trainer and not in a costume!"

"W-wait..." Red panted heavily as he stopped in front of the 4 with Squirtle and Ivysaur. "I-I wanted to see you..."

"...Oh, how cute." Barry joked as he rolled his eyes.

"Shh!" Dawn whispered angrily. "A-anyway, who are you?"

"I..." Red looked up before standing straight up. "I'm sorry for interrupting your path, but I wanted to meet more trainers like you and well..."

"...Wait," Lucas pointed at the mansion. "You mean you live in there?"

"Huh?" Red looked at the mansion. "Well, yeah."

"!!!" Barry gasped. "D-don't tell me you have Mewtwo in your possession as the Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff in there!"

"What are you talking about?" Red asked confused. "I don't have those 4 with me because they don't want to."

"...Okay, reunion time," Lucas said as they walked several steps away from Red and formed a circle between them. "So, this trainer came out from the mansion and wanted to meet us."

"The same mansion with the same people living in there." Barry whispered.

"Hey, you!" Lucas shouted to Red. "Are you the owner of the mansion?"

"I'm no-" Red was interrupted as Ivysaur pushed his leg a little. The trainer looked down and saw Ivysaur shaking his head, giving him a different answer. "Y-yes! I am!"

"..." Lucas looked at them. "...This is getting weird..."

"Why did you say that?" Ivysaur asked.

"I-I'm not going to scare them away by saying "Oh, the owner is a big floating hand" or anything like that. This is an opportunity I've been waiting for, guys!" Red whispered excited.

"You just had that idea yesterday!" Squirtle whispered angrily.

"So, your point?"

"..." Squirtle frowned.

"Hey!" Barry called out. "How many people live in there with you?!"

"Er..." Red looked at Squirtle, who shook his head. "Only Pokémon! My Pokémon along with Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff and Mewtwo! They live here because they like the mansion!"

"..." Barry narrowed his eyes. "Oh, thank you!" he turned to the others. "Liar, liar, pants of Monferno's fire, guys."

"Okay," Dawn rubbed her chin. "He's lying to us, but why?"

"Marley, what do you..." Lucas noticed that Marley was gone. "...Where did she..."

"Look!" Barry pointed at a trail of foot marks going to the forest before it disappeared by the snow falling from the sky. The hyperactive trainer ducked to find a note that Marley left behind. "Hey, check this out."

To Lucas, Dawn and Reckless Idiot:

Honestly speaking, it was fun to travel with you for this short period of time. I, however, hate the idiot who also happens to be Barry and your supposed friend. You (Lucas and Dawn) were so nice to me for trying to find Shaymin, but problems came after that and I don't want even more because of you (Barry). Therefore, I don't want to travel with either of you (Lucas and Dawn) just to get close to Barry. I'll look for Shaymin on my own with Professor Oak from now on. At least I'm going to get professional help this time.

Don't worry, we will travel together some time when I have some tolerance towards Barry.

Sincerely,
Marley

P.S.: If you decide to kill Barry at last, call me.

P.S.S.: If you can catch some Pokémon inside the mansion I like, don't hesitate to show them to me.

P.S.S.S.: Barry, I honestly want to wish you a life full of trouble, problems so you can go to hell, where you rightfully belong to and where my Arcanine will go and eat your guts out. Yes, I'd like to see that happen with my own eyes.

"...Wow..." Barry commented.

"...That was...so her..." Dawn said embarrassed.

"...I know..." Barry looked at them and threw the note away. "...She didn't write her long periods without saying anything."

"And great going," Lucas rolled his eyes. "That's the first trainer who has so far rejected us just because of Barry himself."

"Marley couldn't resist my awesomeness." Barry said.

"Shut up, will you?" Dawn asked irritated.

"Hey!" Red called out. "Are you going to stop talking between yourselves or what?"

"Wait just a minute!" Dawn yelled before turning to his friends. "So, he could be hidding something that we don't want to know because of the people in there..."

"...They want to conquer the world?" Barry asked.

"That's Team Galactic." Lucas corrected Barry.

"Kill the Bidoofians?"

"That isn't even a religion."

"Just don't let Barry say something else," Dawn waved a hand up and down, making Barry grunt. "So...why would he lie to us?"

"You know," Barry crossed his arms and nodded while he clossed his eyes. "I'm smelling some kind of conspiracy that they're hiding from all the people. Some sort of secret like, who knows..."

"..." Lucas looked at Dawn. "...I'm a little bit curious myself..."

Dawn looked worried. "But what about our Pokémon research hunt?"

Just then, a baby Diglett popped out from the snow, close to them and it looked at them as they did the same. The Diglett made a happy expression before it got inside the snow and went away.

Barry looked further away to some trees where a (real) Slakoth was hanging on a branch.

Dawn looked behind her and found a Snorunt peering from a tree before hiding.

Lucas looked above where a Delibird was seen flying while it looked down and waved at them happily.

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl - Route 210

The 3 Pokémon Trainers smiled and looked at each other. "Hey, I have an idea," Barry began. "Why don't we ask him for some rooms? Surely he won't say no."

"Besides," Dawn continued. "There are many Pokémon around this area and we can go out and catch some of them."

"Or get their data for Professor Rowan." Lucas added.

"...And..." Barry looked at Red. "Shall we?"

"Hey!" Lucas called out. "Can we ask you something?"

"Um, sure?" Red said as they all ran to him.

Dawn joined her hands. "Would you give us a room to stay? We want to stay here for a little while and get the data of some Pokémon around these parts!"

"P-Pokémon around thes-" Red noticed Squirtle with a serious expression before he nodded. "O-oh! You mean that...er...what is it's name again? Mudlet?"

"Diglett." Lucas corrected.

"R-right," Red nodded before scratching the back of his head. "W-well, I can let you stay but..."

"But?" Barry asked.

"...You promise you're going to listen to me when you get inside?"

"...Sure?" Dawn responded.

Red sighed in relief. "Well, my mansion (I'm so going to get killed for this) has many rooms and you can stay in there as long as you want to. Don't worry, just don't try to capture the Pokémon in there because they don't want to."

"Sure," Lucas nodded. "So, would you take us inside?"

"Follow us then!" Red said as he walked back to the mansion with Squirtle and Ivysaur, as the trio followed them from behind.

"Red, psss!" Squirtle whispered.

"Yes?" Red looked down with a worried look.

"We're going to get punished for this because you wanted to meet trainers!"

"What is Master Hand going to do if he finds out?" Ivysaur whispered.

"We'll be dead Pokémon meat if you don't do something!"

"And also, what if the others find out about them as well?"

"I...I'll think of a way," Red whispered. "I'll be careful and nobody will know."

"We have a sweet opportunity to catch Mewtwo now," Barry made a fist. "I'm going to reserve that space on my boxes just for it and it only."

"But I'm curious," Lucas rubbed his chin. "Why did he lie to us?"

"Something is afoot..." Dawn whispered. "But let's just have somewhere to rest for now."

"OWW!" Barry bumped into Red's back by accident and Red fell on the snow while Barry fell on the snow with his butt.

"...Yeah," Dawn chuckled. "Some things never change."

"You're happy because you're not the person who got bumped." Lucas said.

"Likewise."

The screen began to move up to the clouds as the trainers talked between themselves.

"So," Barry began. "What's your name, dude?"

"My name...is Red." Red said.

"...What kind of name is that? Seriously?" Dawn asked with a chuckle.

"Oh no, not this again!" Red yelled. "S-stop it! Stop laughing at my name!... Squirtle! Ivysaur! Not you too!"

Heaven's Paradise

"..." Chris stopped once they were about to reach the tower of clouds.

"What is it?" Mario asked.

"...Have you ever felt that we were like...left out for some reason?"

"...No." Mario answered.

"...Then it was just me..." Chris shrugged.

TO BE CONTINUED...

...

"Riding on Clouds of Fights. Hey! It doesn't have me anymore?! H-how come?! This sucks like a freaking Lvl. 100 Magikarp!" Barry yelled.

Do you want to save your data?

Yes

Chapter 121: Riding on Clouds of Fights

Heaven's Paradise

Persona 4 - Heaven

The tower of clouds remained still as the Smashers saw an entrance to it. Mallow stepped forward and looked up at the big building of what he was made of. "...Too cloudy..."

"They're obviously on the top," Parakarry glared up. "Grr, I don't like this at all."

"We're not going to fly up, right?" Pit asked.

"Going through this tower from the inside seems to be safer." Meta Knight said.

"Because they could attack us from the outside with flying enemies." Roy said.

"...At least that's what I think so too..." Chris shrugged.

Caaan’t get my miiind, of those memooooriiiies
Now time to tell them, don’t take my dreeeeeeaaam
Still music keeps, on turning me, from the words that hurt-my-soul
Removing doubts from my miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind...

Those long days passing by from that door, like late summer they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune play-all-daaaaay, with my eyes clo-osed
Those long days passing by from that door, like late summer they slowly fade away
Finding way through the favorite tune filling meeeee, with tho-ose so-ounds!

"Are we going to stare up all the day?" Kirby asked.

"No," Meta Knight as he walked inside the tower. "Let's go and reach the top."

"...I hope my magic is of use..." Chris muttered as the team walked inside the tower.

"...W-wait a minute..." Luigi trembled. "S-something is not right here..."

The clouds began to tremble and the Smashers remained close to each other. The floors began to change shapes and the wall of clouds shrouding the tower vanished as each floor separated by leaving long stairs that took at every single floor, one over the other.

"W-what's happening?!" Mallow asked.

"It seems the tower itself changed and in its place..." Geno looked at the new shape of the dungeon of the skies. It was now very long with long staircases to different floors. The Smashers looked around and found a long staircase to the next floor that was far away from them. "...This was formed..."

"..." Mario looked up. "...I can't see the top now..."

"There are so many clouds with floors, preventing us from seeing the top..." Twink said.

"Pfft," Parakarry rolled his eyes. "Great deal. C'mon!" the Paratroopa flew to the staircase that leaded to another floor. "We'll start from here and reach the top where those 2 will PAY for altering the climate!"

"Being the over-energetic Paratroopa of always..." Twink sighed.

"I'm not over-energetic," Parakarry made a serious face. "I hate those guys so much for making my job much harder than it already is!"

"You fly slow though." Mario pointed out.

Parakarry sweatdropped. "...W-well...y-yeah, I did say that..."

"So much for that." Roy said.

"P-poor guy..." Luigi commented.

"..." Parakarry turned his back and began flying slowly to the stairs. "...If you guys need me, I'll be on the top fighting those guys alone..."

"What a laugh."

"Yes, what a laugh." Mallow nodded.

"...Who was that just now?" Geno asked.

Mist suddenly began to gather at the center of the cloud floor and everyone blocked their eyes at the sudden breeze that circulated in a small place before a blue robe with an ice crown appeared as well as the glaring yellow eyes before it chuckled.

"Welcome..." the figure said. It was Crystal King who appeared before them. "Welcome, my uninvited guests, to Heaven's Paradise!"

"GET HIM!" Mallow yelled as everyone charged at the king.

Crystal King chuckled. "Fools, I'm just a mere hologram just to inform you th-"

The villain got instantly attacked by everyone who began attacking him from all the sides. Crystal King yelled in pain as every attacked landed on him while he tried to get away but with no success at all.

"STOP IT!" Crystal King demanded as everyone stopped their attacks as he panted. "S-seriously! Why don't you let me talk before we EVEN start fighting?! The nerve of all of you, filthy peasants!"

"Shut up," Geno glared at him. "Now, hand over Kalmar now."

"You've been saying the same thing at least 5 or so times and they aren't going to listen." Chris said with a bored look.

"Oh, okay," the king said as he walked and gave Geno the card containing Kalmar on it. "There."

"..." Kirby shifted his eyes. "...This was...too easy..."

"...Should we leave now?" Pit asked.

"...NO!" Parakarry and Crystal King yelled in unison as the king ran to Geno and quickly snatched the card back.

"F-fools!" Crystal King yelled as he hid it inside his robe. "Stop tricking me like that or else I'll freeze you to your deaths!"

"Give us Kalmar back right this instant!" Geno demanded.

"It was you who let him get Kal-" Chris looked away once Geno glared at him.

"Would you PLEASE let me speak before you raise weapons on me?!" Crystal King asked.

"...Go on..." Roy said.

"Thank you," Crystal King coughed. "As you can see, welcome to Heaven's Paradise! The only place where the seventh Star Spirit can be rescued!"

"GET HIM!"

"STOP!" Crystal King yelled and everyone stopped from attacking him. "Good... As I was saying before, you won't get the Star Spirit until you get to the top flo-"

"GET HIM!"

"SILENCE!" Crystal King yelled as he shot an ice bolt to Roy, where he got frozen inside an icicle as the others watched with caution. "Dare to STOP my speech or else you will end like the red-haired idiot over there!"

"O-o-o-o-okay..." Luigi gulped.

"..." Crystal King frowned and continued exactly where he left on. "-or, where Huff N. Puff and I are waiting for you to get there."

"Heaven's Paradise?" Pit looked around. "I'm not showing off or anything, but Skyworld is much more of a real paradise than just floors because it has fountains, temples, Palutena's shrin-"

"Who asked you?" Crystal King asked with a glare.

"Why don't we finish you off here?" Meta Knight asked as he drew Galaxia out.

"Because it's rude and imprudent," Crystal King explained. "Screw this," the king made a snapping sound with his right sleeve before he disappeared. "Now, this way you won't attack me." Crystal King said as his voice echoed.

"What is your deal with us now?" Geno asked.

"Let me get there!" Crystal King demanded. "We want to play a little game with all of you now. Are you interested to hear and listen?"

"...Yes?" Twink responded.

"Good. Take a good look at the cloud floors around the vicinity." Crystal King ordered and the Smashers looked at all the clouds connected to each other with the staircases.

"So? They're just floors." Parakarry said with a glare.

"Oh, ho ho ho, that's not quite true," Crystal King went on. "On each floor, there is one of the many Subspace Army's enemies that you will face on a match. There are 50 floors with 50 different enemies altogether."

"...I get it," Chris began. "We have to defeat them all in order to advance, right?"

"Of course," Crystal King chuckled. "But, not like the way you all do."

"What way?" Kirby asked as he swallowed a cloud.

"The "run forward until we reach the boss" way. Oh no, you'll have to advance slowly until you get on the top. But, there is a condition you must listen to," Crystal King pointed at them. "There is a certain amount of enemies of the same type on each floor, but you can't fight them all as a group."

"Are you forcing us to fight a group with just one us then?" Mario asked.

"Dammit, I wanted to say that but I guess you get what I mean now," Crystal King nodded. "Correct. Each floor contains a certain amount of the same strong enemies that one of you must defeat alone."

"And what happens if that person fails to defeat the group?" Mallow asked.

"The clouds underneath you will disappear and form a big hole back to the earth where you will return to. If you manage to survive the fall, then you can go back and face the challenge again from the beginning," Crystal King chuckled. "I expect you to lose at some point because these enemies are very strong, indeed."

"...What do you say?" Mario asked to the others.

"Well, I wanted to run through but...I think it's interesting." Roy commented.

Mario looked at the icicle where Roy once was and looked back at the swordsman. "...Nevermind... So?"

"If this is the only way to reach Kalmar, then we have no choice." Geno said.

"Y-yeah, whatever they said..." Luigi gulped worried.

"If each cloud have a different flavor, then I'm not complaining," Kirby said smiling. "This cloud had a blew flavor..."

"Hmph," Meta Knight grunted a little. "Fine by me."

"Alrighty!" Parakarry punched the air. "Ready for some fights alone!"

"...I-I'm not so sure... O-okay." Chris nodded preoccupied.

Mallow cracked his fingers. "Right on!"

"I agree as well," Pit nodded. "Surely this could be considered like small fights, right?"

Mario nodded and looked at Crystal King. "We decided. We want to do it your way."

"Brilliant!" Crystal King chuckled. "Don't worry about us. We won't set up any traps to make you lose. Every fight will be fair for you, except for the amount of enemies, that is..."

"Then let's go!" Parakarry said determined.

"Hold on," the villain interrupted. "There is an extra floor before our floor where a special challenger will fight one of you alone. That challenger will decide who will fight."

"Extra challenger?" Twink asked.

"I bet either Dedede, Charizard, Bowser or Ganondorf." Roy said.

"Close, but decide which of the 4." Crystal King hinted before he disappeared in a swirl of winds.

"So..." Mario walked to the stairs. "Shall we?"

"The faster, the better." Geno said as they all proceeded to advance.

They reached the first floor, which was just a plain cloud with another staircase. However, the staircase was all covered by a force field that was also shrouding the whole path of stairs and clouds.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Crystal King laughed from the top cloud. "Welcome to the first floor! Now, you must face this powerful enemy!"

5 clouds appeared on the cloud they were in and from them came...

...5 Goombas who tried to roar.

"...Oh my god, save us. Goombas want to...kill us... Call the NAVY or someone else, please..." Chris joked as his yellow eyes made a bored look.

"That is right," Crystal King was heard saying. "Goombas! Mario's horrible enemies! Mwahahahahahahaha! Now let's see if you can defeat them all!"

"...I'll go..." Mario as he stepped forward and a force field prevented them from walking ahead.

"Be careful, Mario!" Parakarry yelled. "I don't like the look on those guys' faces!"

"(Maybe there's something weird with them?)" Mario thought.

Mega Man 8 - Tengu Man

"Oh no," Chris shook his head once the Goombas charged at Mario. "There's something really weird here! I don't like it at all!" he jumped behind Pit, who looked at him confused. "Prepare to hold me before we fall!"

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Mario simply stomped all of them with simple jumps as he simply landed and blinked confused.

"NO!" Crystal King yelled. "H-how did you defeat all of them?! T-they were supposed to defeat you ins-I mean, hahahahahahahaha! So! Mario! You defeated them all as I expected after all!"

Many of the Smashers sweatdropped.

"Very well!" Crystal King made the force field to the next staircase disappear. "You can go to the next cloud, where another new enemy is waiting for one of you! Advance now!"

"...Chris, would you stop grabbing my shoulders?" Pit asked.

Chris took a long step to the right and chuckled. "O-oops, I got a little bit worried there... S-sorry..."

"...Yeees..." Pit shrugged as they all went forward.

"And welcome to the next floor!" Crystal King greeted them from the top cloud of the whole place. "Here, you shall face this enemy!"

4 Puppits came from above and they all fixed their eyes on them.

"Puppits! Their claws will get the most unfortunate's heart out! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I'll go for this one." Pit said as he stepped forward.

"BEGIN!" Crystal King yelled as the 4 Puppits slowly went after Pit with their claws ready to slice him down.

Pit ducked as 2 tried to use their claws as drills and the other 2 simply approached and sliced him 2 times each before giving a last slash, making him back away as he twitched.

"Pit!" Kirby yelled.

"I-I'm fine..." Pit muttered as he looked up at the 4 Puppits' eyes that shone red, indicating that they were going to fire lasers at their own will. "...Oh, you lost now..." Pit said as he simply took out his Mirror Shield and reflected back the lasers that instantly blasted the Puppits away.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Crystal King yelled. "I was waiting for your being sliced up, not the other way arou-mwahahahahaha! Go on and proceed to a worse dead, insolents!" Crystal King laughed maniacally as the next staircase was unblocked.

As the Smashers were walking further above...

"..." Kirby yawned. "Why do I think this is going to repeat?"

"Because the fact the idiot gets shocked by the Subspace enemies being defeated or the fact he's going to do the same thing over and over again?" Roy asked.

"I-I think the latter one..." Luigi shrugged.

"Welcome again!" Crystal King greeted them as they made it to the next cloud. "Now, your next fight is against these guys..."

10 Mites appeared from 10 different small clouds as they looked around in confusion.

"Mites! Their sizes will annoy you to no end!"

Mallow coughed and walked forward. "Me thinks it's me turn."

"Speak correctly..." Twink said annoyed.

"BEGIN!" Crystal King yelled as the 10 Mites charged at Mallow, who merely cracked his throat (if he had one) and held out his hands above.

"Thunderbolt!" Mallow called out a powerful rain of thunders that electrocuted every single Mite and killed them all, in record time. "Done."

"W-what?!" Crystal King asked outraged. "T-these clouds are betraying us! You there! Explain yourself!"

"H-hey, it's not my fault the clouds don't listen to me." Huff N. Puff said with a chuckle.

"W-well, do something about i-proceed forward to your DOOMS!" Crystal King yelled as the next staircase opened, before he laughed maniacally as someone's grunt came from where he was.

"Now I want to murder them rather than defeat them." Roy said.

"And I want my candy cloud." Kirby said as they climbed the staircase and arrivd at another cloud.

"Welcome blah blah blah blah, meet your enemy." Crystal King said annoyed.

4 Primids came from the clouds and adjusted their hats, if those were hats.

"Oh, let me do this one." Chris said as he stepped forward.

"Blah." Crystal King said before the 4 Primids charged at the World Traveler, who then focused his magic on the top of his staff.

"Shock them for greater good... Thundara!" Chris called forth 2 thunders that impacted the Primids' side and dealt a good amount of damage.

"They're still alive!" Twink yelled before the 4 Primids tripped and pushed Chris back a little.

"Ugh," Chris said annoyed as he focused more magic on the tip of his staff. "Burn them to black ashes... Fira!"

A big flame appeared right in every single Primid before they turned into Shadow Bugs and vanished in thin air.

"Too easy. No problem." Chris commented with a chuckle.

"DAMN YOU ALL! ESPECIALLY YOU, LITTLE BASTARD, SON OF A BI-don't worry, the next one is going to be a lot more dangerous than this!" Crystal King laughed maniacally as they proceeded to the next floor.

"..." Meta Knight sighed. "To think getting the last star was going to be like this... I expected something harder..."

"But solo matches are better...I think." Pit commented.

"Then if this continues like this, let me face an enemy that seems competent enough."

"Enemies."

"Better yet."

"You know what? I'm not bothering introducing anyone this time." Crystal King said as 3 Bucculus appeared on the ground.

"I-I'll go. Wish me luck!" Luigi said determined as he stepped forward and walked to the 8 red spots on the floor. "...Hmm..." Luigi made a bored look and ducked to see them closer.

Bad idea.

The 4 Bucculus jumped and stuck their lips on Luigi's head as the green plumber screamer in horror and ran around the cloud in panic, flailing his arms frantically.

Mario frowned embarrassed. "Luigi, pull yourself together!"

"I-it's easier said than done!" Luigi screamed.

"Use your darn cyclone, dangit!" Chris yelled as almost everyone stared at him. "...What? It's the only way to get free from them and he was getting a little bit on my nerves..."

"AaaaaaaaaaaAH!" Luigi used Luigi Cyclone to get free of the Bucculus, who got pushed away and bounced on the floor.

"Attack them." Meta Knight suggested.

"H-how?"

"DO IT!" Mallow yelled.

Luigi gulped and he ran at 2 Bucculus to...advance, flailing his fists in panic as they actually made decent damage. Luigi used Green Missile to charge a little and rocket off to the same 2, who then got pushed away and disappeared. Luigi quickly turned and tripped (evading the other Bucculus who lunged at him) then accidentaly used a low kick to push them away. He later used Luigi Cyclone to go quickly over the lip monsters to defeat them as he panted heavily.

"...So far, Luigi has made more effort." Geno said.

"OH NO! Y-you?! D-defeating those powerfu-ha! You got luck! That's all!" Crystal King said as the Smashers went to the next cloud.

"You need to stop gasping like that, seriously." Huff N. Puff suggested.

"Leave me alone, creepy fat cloud!"

Huff N. Puff sniffed. "Y-you crossed the line, man..."

"Sorry, man."

Twink got a little bit creepied out. "Is it just me, or are they turning into..."

"No," Geno shook his head. "They're not turning into gangsters."

"Funny you say that," Chris looked at Geno. "Who was the one who said "Yo'! Smithy!" when he found Smithy? I thought he was going to turn into one."

Geno blushed. "I-I was a little bit excited to get rid of Smithy at last..."

Chris's eyes made a happy expression. "Aw, it feels so much better to say these kind of things now that you know I played the game you were in."

Once they reached the next cloud, 3 Buckots appeared as they propelled above the air.

"This one is for me." Roy said as he stepped forward.

The 3 Buckots fixed their eyes at Roy and they quickly hovered above him. The red-haired swordsman looked as the 3 dropped fiery trash that Roy evaded easily as he backstepped, jumped towards them and used Blazer, which wasn't that effective since the Buckots only got pushed back a little.

"Look out!" Kirby yelled as the Buckos dropped more trash on Roy as it all hit him constantly. The red-haired swordsman grunted in pain but then rolled away to jump at them again. This time, Roy used Double Edge to use an aerial attack of 4-hit combo at the enemies before they got pushed down with a meteor smash and disappeared.

"Phew..." Roy landed back and looked at them. "That went well."

"FOR YOU AT LEAST!" Crystal King yelled as he opened the next staircase for them.

After they climbed the stairs...

A Paratroopa was floating above the floor. Parakarry glared at him and went to his enemy. "Look, pal, there's space enough for only one Paratroopa here."

"Oh, okay," the Paratroopa said. "I was getting tired anyway."

The Paratroopa flew high above and then disappeared out of sight while Parakarry kept glaring upwards. The Smashers looked confused at this simple and short moment.

"...That's it?" Geno asked.

"Er...what was all that about?" Chris asked confused.

"W-WHAT?!" Crystal King asked furiously. "T-the nerve of tho-go ahead and please, get killed!"

The Smashers walked further ahead to the next set of stairs, leading to another cloud.

2 Shaydas appeared spinning and they stood above the cloud. Meta Knight grunted and walked forward with Galaxia ready.

The Shaydas slid on the cloud without even moving and towards the masked warrior who waited for them. The blades on their arms were raised and they sliced Meta Knight, only for the masked warrior to use Dimensional Cape to teleport behind them and slice their backs.

The Shaydas turned and quickly raised their blades above, but Meta Knight used Drill Rush to pierce their red spheres on their chests...

...Killing them after he used his sword against them for 3 seconds.

"Fearsome enemy with pathetic weakness." Meta Knight commented.

Chris yawned and closed his yellow eyes. "And you...attack their weak points...for MASSIVE DAMAGE..."

Kirby looked up at the sleeping World Traveler while Crystal King cursed. "Chris? Hello?"

"Huh?" Chris shook his head and looked down to Kirby. "Oh...sorry. I got a little bit sleepy...because I'm getting a little bit bored..."

"Oh."

"Let's go ahead." Mario said as they all walked to the next cloud.

A Jyk appeared and Kirby went forward with a serious expression as he took out his hammer and slammed it on the Jyk, but Kirby got electrocuted for a moment and was pushed back.

"I-I can't hurt him!" Kirby yelled.

"That's right," Crystal King said. "The Jyk is itself invincible and that means you can't win against it! Mwahahahahahaha!"

"Technically speaking, the Jyk thing won't as well." Geno said.

"Why is that?"

"Because it's not moving. It's just remaining in its same place," Geno pointed out. "And since it can't fight unless someone touches it, it's useless, right?"

"...Yes..."

"And since Kirby made the first strike, he basically fought it, but the Jyk didn't do anything except remain there."

"That counts as an action," Meta Knight continued. "That is a rule of battles. Kirby won the moment he tried to attack it, and by default."

"...W-well...i-it's true...b-but...I-I..." Crystal King studdered before grunting annoyed. "Fine, you can go forward."

"Yes!" Kirby said happily before the Smashers went to the next cloud.

"Behold." Crystal King said as 3 Bombeds appeared.

"I'll go this time." Geno said as he stepped forward.

The 3 Bombeds ran at Geno and tossed their heads at him, which he dodged by jumping towards them (and over the bombs). The Bombeds jumped in shock as Geno put his left hand over his right hand and shot a rocket punch that collided with one and destroyed it.

The other 2 Bombeds recovered their heads and they quickly turned and tossed them at Geno. The puppet received 2 explosion in which he got pushed to the air, but then he flipped to use Geno Beam on the 2 Bombeds, who got severely injured by the beam and vanished.

"NO!" Crystal King yelled. "Go forward and get killed this time!"

"How about no?" Roy asked as they all went to next cloud.

"Now please, for this time, lay down and DIE!" Crystal King yelled as 4 Spaaks appeared, floating around.

"I'll go." Pit said as he stepped forward.

The 4 Spaaks floated towards him and released 4 balls of lightning that he countered with his Mirror Shield. However, once the balls hit them back, the clouds turned black and they all flipped in the air before releasing 4 lightning bolts that struck Pit.

"UGH!" Pit twitched in pain and dropped on his right knee.

"Pit! Are you feeling alright?" Roy asked.

"I'm fine..." Pit said as he stood up. "I'll be more careful..."

"Reflecting their attacks back is a bad idea. It doesn't work that well." Geno said.

"Thanks... I'll take that in mind." Pit said as he flapped his wings and flew above where he dove for the 4 clouds. The Spaaks flipped and tried landing 4 bolts at the same time, but Pit flew at the sides to evade them in time before he took out his dual blades and slashed 2 Spaaks across.

The 2 Spaaks crashed into the floor but were able to survive. The 4 Spaaks flipped again and shot 4 bolts of lightning that Pit quickly dodged by rolling towards them. The angel slashed 2 times the 2 previous Spaaks and ended up killing them.

"Only 2 more!" Mallow yelled as the 2 Spaaks seemed to stop, because they were recharging their attacks. Pit took advantage of this and shot several arrows at them. The Spaaks tried to use their attacks but Pit kep stopping them quickly and soon enough, they were blasted away.

"Dammit!" Crystal King cursed as the next cloud's path was unlocked.

"You can still walk, right?" Twink asked.

"Yes... Let me rest for a bit and I'll be ready." Pit said with a nod as they went to the next cloud.

"Next ones won't be so easy." Crystal King said as 2 Armights appeared laughing, crossing their swords.

"Ooh, swords." Roy said as he stepped forward.

The 2 Armights quickly went over the red-haired swordsman and quickly slashed him across, then landing a last blow that pushed Roy back. Roy grunted and charged at them to use Double Edge constantly.

"Keep going like that. They can't move!" Parakarry yelled as Roy slammed his sword on the Armights. The enemies with whiskers grunted in annoyance, flipped around in the air and shot their swords at him. However, Roy used Counter to make the swords unless once they touched him.

"Now..." Roy said as he ran along the cloud and behind the Armights who tried turning quickly, but were defeated by Roy's Flare Blade, which was a small charge enough. "There."

"GRR!" Crystal King grunted as the Smashers went to the next cloud. "I hope this one can defeat you!"

2 Hammer Bros. appeared and looked around. "Hey, we were just playing a game of baseball. What are we doing here?" the first asked.

"Who knows," the second one replied. "Oh, Mario's here. Maybe we should fight him."

"Or me." Kirby said as he stepped forward.

"Hmm..." Chris tilted his head. "Such simpleness to step forward, and from Kirby."

"Sometimes, he likes to fight." Meta Knight said.

The Hammer Bros. remained in their places and tossed their hammers at Kirby, who swallowed them all and turned into Hammer Kirby.

"Hammer!" Hammer Kirby said happily as he raised his hammer and went after the 2. The Hammer Bros. seemed to twitch for something.

"H-hey! How come we can just jump and throw our hammers?!" the first one asked as he jumped and tossed hammers at the Star Warrior. "T-this doesn't make any sense to me!"

"Y-yeah!" the second one said as he saw Hammer Kirby pushing the hammers away with his own hammer. "H-he's gonna hit us! Save me!"

"BAM!" Hammer Kirby slammed his hammer down on the first Hammer Bro. who got killed.

"BROTHER!!!" the other Hammer Bro. yelled before glaring at Hammer Kirby. "Y-you'll pay for killing my brother! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

He simply jumped. Hammer Kirby walked down below the hammers, charged his hammer with fire and slammed it on the Hammer Bro.'s face, making him collide with the force field before he disappeared.

"...Now, if Kirby was this powerful in battles..." Chris wondered.

"Oh, darn you all!" Crystal King cursed as he opened the next path to the next cloud. "Please, don't do anything this time. Seriously, we want to see dead bodies here."

10 Auroros appeared from above and flapped their wings.

Chris chuckled. "Oh, I know how to deal with them," he said as he stepped forward.

"No! You're going to get killed!" Luigi yelled worried.

The 10 Auroros flew above Chris and dove their beaks down. Chris just took a long step back as every single Auroro's beak became stuck on the cloud as they tried to get out. The World Traveler simply walked and quickly pulled them out, then tossed them away where they got instantly defeated without any effort.

"...You must be kidding me..." Crystal King muttered in annoyance as the next path got open.

"So if they become stuck in the ground, they become items once you grab them?" Mario asked as they all climbed the staircase.

"Yes. The Auroros can be defeated like that or by killing it normally like an usual enemy," Chris chuckled. "Courtesy from the DOJO on the official site."

"...The DOJO?" Luigi asked confused.

"Er, the official site of the game... I-I'll show you that place soon." Chris said as they reached the floor.

"Get...killed...please..." Crystal King panted as 3 Boom Primids appeared.

"Just stop exploding in fury like that." Huff N. Puff suggested.

"I know, but these idiots keep making me mad like nothing happens!"

"You're exploding in fury again..."

"So?!"

The Smashers were ignoring all this as Mallow stepped forward.

The Boom Primids tossed their boomerangs at the prince who jumped over them and used Shocker to crush the weapons. The Boom Primids remained confused of what to do as Mallow jumped out from his pants and called forth a big Starman that bounced 14 times on the Boom Primids before disappearing as Shadow Bugs.

"...With 4 bounces was enough..." Mallow said a little bit disappointed.

"And with a single defeat you could've gone down!" Crystal King yelled as the path got open for the Smashers before they walked to the next cloud.

Hammer Kirby looked down, where the enormous cloud that caused the strong weather was floating over a big portion of the sky. "W-we're getting farther away from the sky..."

Luigi looked up. "A-and we're getting closer to the...space?"

"It's not high enough to reach the space," Geno said. "It's a lot farther away from where those 2 are."

"These will do some serious damage to you." Crystal King said as 5 Borboras skipped around happily.

"...Who skips these days?" Mallow asked.

"Seriously..." Roy frowned.

Geno stepped forward and the Borboras stopped and blew a powerful wind that prevented the puppet from advancing.

"(Hmm...)" Geno looked around. "(If there's a force field covering this cloud, then...) GENO WHIRL!"

Geno shot a blinding yellow ring that bounced around the whole force field and into the Borboras multiple times as they were unable to even blow wind out from their heads, then they got instantly defeated as the force field went down.

"...AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Crystal King yelled loudly.

"Take a stupid chill pill for once!" Huff N. Puff suggested as he then chuckled. "Heheh, chill pill..."

"That was quick thinking." Mario remarked.

"I have to use all the advantages of the field as much as I can, shouldn't I?" Geno asked with a chuckle.

"T-the next one is for me..." Luigi said.

"Luigi, are you serious?" Roy asked.

"Y-yes..."

"...Huh?" Crystal King said confused as they reached the next floor. "T-the green man is fighting? T-then HAHAHAHAHAHA! You're not going to get through once you fight..."

3 Poppants appeared and Luigi yelped in horror. The 3 Poppants jumped scared and they all ran to the force field, where they banged on it before it somehow broke and they all ran off the edge and downwards where they got killed once they landed on the enormous cloud.

Some of the Smashers chuckled at this before Luigi got up and looked around with a sigh of relief.

"...You fight...these..." Crystal King trailed off as the next path got open for the Smashers. "..."

Huff N. Puff patted his back. "There, there. I bet they will die very soon."

"..." Crystal King sobbed for around 2 minutes.

"I feel sorry for the guy..." Roy said as they climbed the staircase. "Working like this surely is painful."

"I hope he doesn't get possessed by the Shadow Bugs..." Pit shrugged.

"...Right," Crystal King said as he chuckled evily. "Alright then! You won't defeat this enemy either!"

A Red Paratroopa appeared looking around and Parakarry flew to him.

"Take a hyke, man." Parakarry said with a glare.

"Huh?" the Red Paratroopa looked at him. "Oh, I was planning to. Appearing here randomly is just so wrong and...random," the Red Paratroopa said as he flew high above before he disappeared.

"..." Crystal King inhaled a lot of mist. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

When the staircase's force field disappeared, the Smashers climbed it while Crystal King kept yelling in fury.

"Yes," Mallow nodded. "His job must suck if he hates us this much."

"Or he hates his job much more than he does to us." Twink said shuddering as they reached the next cloud.

Crystal King stopped yelling. "That is IT! I'm just going to watch and not do ANYTHING else whatsoever!"

4 Bullets Bills appeared. The Smashers gasped and ducked before they could explode on them and the bullets went far away into the distance, where they never returned.

"..." Crystal King tried but he let out a small sob as the Smashers simply went to the next cloud.

"...I've been meaning to ask something..." Pit interrupted.

"What?" Mario asked.

"If these are the enemies of the Subspace...how come we were suffering a lot because of them in our previous plan to infiltrate the Subspace?"

Mario shifted his eyes. "...I now feel very embarrassed..."

Pit, Hammer Kirby, Meta Knight and Luigi nodded.

"Wait, you too, Meta Knight?" Chris asked.

"Just because an insane amount of enemies surrounded me when I most didn't expect it." Meta Knight explained.

Once they reached the next cloud, 3 Roaders appeared and prepared their wheels to ram at the first Smasher who wanted to challenge them.

"My turn." Meta Knight said as he stepped forward with Galaxia ready.

The trio of Roaders revved up their wheels and ran towards Meta Knight. The masked warrior charged his attack and slashed them all at the same time.

"This is not going to last much longer that it needs to." Meta Knight said as he used Mach Tornado to quickly fly to the wheel enemies and trap them inside the yellow/orange tornado, which sliced all of them many times before Meta Knight landed the last slash, blasting all of them away as he stopped and sheathed Galaxia. "Pitiful..."

"(...That was SO badass...)" Chris thought.

"You know," Huff N. Puff began. "Maybe the way they do to reach a boss could've been a much better ide-"

"SHUT-UP!" Crystal King yelled annoyed as the Smashers went to the next cloud.

"Meta Knight!" Chris interrupted, excited. "Can you teach me how to be...well...strong as you?"

"Hmph," Meta Knight said. "You should do many trainings and regimes to achieve my currect status as a swordsman."

"Show off..." Roy muttered before Chris stomped on his right foot without even looking. "O-oww!"

"What kind of trainings and regimes?" Chris asked curiously.

"..." Meta Knight looked at him. "First, you must wake up at 3:00 AM and practice using your sword on hard objects. You also need to calculate the time in which you slice them all down. It won't count if you can't slice through them and you'll have to start from the beginning until you succeed. However, once you succeed, you should take in mind the time you did it and compare it with another record if you succeeded 2 times. There are also other kinds of regimes I usually do daily but that would be knowing my style of fight."

"...(...Frankly speaking...I'm not going to be like him ever...)" Chris shook his head. "I-I understand...b-but I like to wake up at 6:00 AM or later..."

"...It's a shame," Meta Knight commented. "Here I was hoping you could do it."

"We're here." Mario said.

6 Cymuls appeared, floating around the cloud as Geno stepped forward.

"This should do." Geno said as he fired several bullets at all the Cymuls, but all of them spun around wildly and reflected back the bullets at Geno who yelled in pain and backed away.

"Geno!" Twink yelled worried.

"Just how many...of these enemies are there waiting for us?" Geno asked.

"27 plus these," Roy said. "Don't try to use projectiles because they'll reflect them back at you!"

"I got that clear," Geno said as he flipped and turned into a cannonball. "GENO FLASH!"

"Did he just turn into a cannonball?" Roy asked as Geno fired a small flame that stopped and grew in size in the middle of the Cymuls.

"Geno is that amazing." Mallow said.

"I don't even know how he does that." Mario said.

"The world may never know..." Twink trailed off as an explosion of fire took place in the cloud as the Cymuls disappeared while turned back to normal.

"Complete." Geno said.

Kingdom Hearts II - Working Together

"Must...restrain...fury...towards...idiots..." Crystal King muttered as the next staircase opened and the Smashers walked to the next cloud. The enormous cloud below was now getting farther away from their feet.

"If we keep going like this, we'll reach the top in no time." Mallow said.

"Let's hope this remains easy." Mario said.

3 Koopa Troopas waited for them and Mario stepped forward. He simply jumped above them to make them hide inside their shells. But something then happened.

Mario looked around. "...How do I get rid of them if they're hiding inside their shells?" Mario asked confused.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Crystal King laughed. "What's this, Mario? You can't defeat these now? And here I was thinking you could!"

"Hmm...wait! I know how!" Chris said. "Heat them with your fireballs!"

Mario nodded and he began to shoot several fireballs at the shells which them turned bright red and the Koopas jumped out in pain with several screams. They all ran around in panic and Mario noticed the shells were not protecting them. He proceeded to slam a small fireball on his hand on one of them before continuing with the other 2, thus defeating them all.

"...Hurray, you did it. Now advance..." Crystal King cheered sarcastically as the Smashers went forward to the next staircase.

A Gamyga sprouted out from the next cloud and it stared at no one in particular, before Gamyga sprouted out and did the same.

"Oh, would you please let me?" Pit said as he stepped forward.

The Gamygas' bases began to rotate a little as they closed their eyes and fired lasers at Pit, which he simply reflected back and caused severe damage to the masks above the bases.

"Hmm..." Hammer Kirby wondered for a moment.

"What is it?" Twink asked.

"Isn't it spooky that those monsters never stare at us but at the same time they attack us? I don't know if they're staring at someone else..."

Chris shrugged as Pit finished them without taking away his shield since the Gamygas could only fire lasers that they couldn't reflect back.

"Easy..." Pit said with a bored look.

"Afraid so...afraid so..." Crystal King said as he opened the path.

"The only thing that tires me out is the long staircase," Roy said. "They keep going up and up with no end..."

Luigi sighed. "M-my legs aren't going to hold on for much longer."

"Then you should better fight the next enemy since your energies are depleting." Parakarry said.

"H-huh?... W-well, if you say so..."

A Mizzo inside a glass was waiting for them.

Music stops

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Chris, Hammer Kirby, Luigi, Parakarry, Mallow and Twink yelled scared.

"S-s-s-s-s-s-save me..." the Mizzo said. "K-k-k-k-kill me..." it muttered.

"W-what is that monster?!" Luigi asked as he hid behind Roy.

"I-it's some kind of sin?!" Pit asked as he carefully drew his blades out.

"...Hmm..." Meta Knight stepped forward. "I remember this monster being inside my ship..."

"K-k-k-k-k-k-kill me...p-p-p-p-p-please...I-I-I-I beg you..." the Mizzo muttered in pain as it moved around the strings that supported him.

"...Such unfortunate soul that was born from the Subspace..." Meta Knight said as he drew out Galaxia. "It is my duty to send this to a better place."

With a charged slash, Meta Knight sliced the machine in half and it exploded, along with the Mizzo who was no more around the clouds as the path opened.

"...Let's go." Meta Knight said as he walked ahead.

"...I think that wasn't necessary..." Chris said as he looked down. "That enemy made me feel bad."

"And Meta Knight destroyed it without holding back..." Hammer Kirby shed a tear and wiped it out. "...W-why?"

"..." Meta Knight turned to them. "Because it wanted to be killed."

"Isn't that bad?" Pit asked.

"No," Meta Knight shook his head. "Sometimes, dying is better than living for some creatures. And if they're begging for their deaths, then we should give them what they want as an act of generosity."

"I still feel bad for it." Mario said.

"So do I, but it can't be helped." Meta Knight said as he climbed the staircase.

Mario Party - Mario's Rainbow Castle

On the next cloud, 5 Trowlons flew above the air as Luigi stepped forward.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Luigi yelled loudly as the 5 Trowlons chased after him along the cloud. Luigi decided to jump and use a quickl drill kick (which, firstly, wasn't even close to the Trowlons).

"Luigi, stop panicking around!" Mallow yelled.

"AAAAAHHH!!!" Luigi yelled as one Trowlon pulled him above its back and began rising up slowly. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH!!!" Luigi yelled as he quickly got off (except the Trowlon who went high up and disappeared from the scene).

"That gives me an idea," Geno said. "Luigi! Step on their backs and get off them quickly! That way they'll rise up and won't come back!"

"O-okay!" Luigi shouted as he turned to the Trowlons, gulped, sweated, adjusted his hat, his trousers, his shoes, hi-

"DO IT!" Parakarry yelled annoyed as the green plumber jumped on each back of the Trowlons. The airborne enemies began to rise up into the air but didn't notice that Luigi wasn't on their backs.

Luigi sighed in relief as the Trowlons disappeared high into the sky. The path was open once again and they all climbed the staircase.

"Why do we have the most pathetic enemies?!" Crystal King asked in irritation.

3 Glices appeared and rolled around the cloud. Chris stepped forward.

The 3 Glices rolled towards him and prepared to open themselves to release a freezing mist. The World Traveler was busy trying to cast fira but the 3 rotating enemies opened themselves quickly and froze Chris inside an icicle.

"Chris!" Pit yelled.

The icicle broke and Chris shook his head, but then a Glice opened itself and froze him again.

"Oh no, he's constantly being frozen!" Mallow said.

The icicle broke out but another Glice froze him again.

"At this rate, his energies are going to disappear." Meta Knight said.

"He needs to think of something before he dies!" Roy said. "Chris! Do something to stun them!"

The icicle broke out and Chris quickly backstepped from a Glice. The World Traveler closed his yellow eyes to cast a quick spell. "Burn to ashes, Fire!"

Fire began to melt the inside of a Glice and it vanished as well. The 2 Glices rolled towards the World Traveler but he closed his eyes again as the top of his staff began glowing.

"Burn them to black ashes... Fira!"

A big flame shrouded the 2 Glices who instantly got their internal ice melted as they shrieked a little and vanished. The path was open once again and Hammer Kirby walked to Chris, who was looking weak.

"Are you...okay?" Hammer Kirby asked.

"I'm fine...almost..." Chris said.

"Hmm..." Hammer Kirby got a worried look as they proceeded to the next cloud.

3 Glires were now rolling about. Mallow stepped forward and the rolling enemies went after him.

"Snowy!" Mallow called out as a sudden blizzard began to cover the cloud before a big snowman fell down. It blinked several times in confusion before exploding into a lot of snow, causing severe ice damage to the Glires who vanished instantly. "Ha! Take that!"

Chris grunted.

"Why are you grunting?" Mario asked.

"I feel humiliated after Mallow just used one attack to defeat them all and I got frozen at least 4 times."

"Somebody is always better than you. I can say the same thing to me."

"Now you got me worried...and jealous."

"Sorry."

"Pfft," Crystal King rolled his eyes. "Like your ice powers outmatch mine."

The path opened and they all climbed the staircase.

If I recall, aren't Jyk's supposed to be INVINCIBLE?

If I recall, aren't Jyk's supposed to be INVINCIBLE?

Problem solved.

[DededeCloneChris]

3 Glunders were now rolling the cloud while they let out small sparks. Hammer Kirby stepped forward and as the previous 2 kinds, they rolled towards him.

Hammer Kirby jumped into the air and spun his hammer upwards with a spin of 360 degrees that pushed a Glunder back. The other 2 Glunders rolled behind Hammer Kirby and they let out their shells to release strong sparks that electrocuted the Star Warrior. Hammer Kirby backed away and put his hammer in front of him to defend himself.

"Kirby, spin your hammer around you when you run at them." Meta Knight said.

"H-huh? R-right!" Hammer Kirby said as he ran at the 2 Glunders and spun him hammer around himself, slamming it to the Glunders who jumped into the air and shook themselves. However, Hammer Kirby came again with a spinning hammer that defeated both Glunders. The last Glunder tried to sneak behind him but Hammer Kirby quickly turned with a serious expression and slammed hard the hammer on the Glunder, who disappeared as Shadow Bugs.

Hammer Kirby sat down with a sigh as the next path opened.

Chris ducked to grab the hammer wielder and rubbed his head a little. "Can somebody be this cute and strong? Yes, Kirby can."

Hammer Kirby made a happy expression as they all walked to the next cloud.

4 Sword Primids appeared and moved their swords (that looked like Beam Swords) around as Roy stepped forward.

All of them ran at him and instantly thrusted their swords forward rapidly. The red-haired swordsman couldn't evade the fast thrusts that he resisted the blows and backed away. "Ugh..." Roy grunted in pain.

"They used to ambush a single one in order to gain an advantage." Meta Knight said.

"I'd really hate if they did it on me..." Chris shrugged.

Roy quickly ran at them to deal an upward slash to pull 1 of them above in the air before he used Blazer to slam it away to the force field. The 3 Sword Primids ran underneath Roy and used their swords as drills when they jumped towards him.

"Not today!" Roy yelled as he used a downward slash to push the 3 away to make a safe landing. Roy quickly charged his Flare Blade to slam it on 2 Sword Primids, who got blasted away by the small intensity of the blow. The first Sword Primid ran at Roy but tripped, accidentaly slashing him but giving a chance to use Double Edge at the downed Sword Primid who got blasted away.

"The last one is right above you!" Pit yelled as the mentione Sword Primid used his sword as a drill downwards to the swordsman, but Roy used Counter to vaginaerattack the blow and when the Primid got on the cloud, the swordsman made a simple slash that slammed it down. The Sword Primid was disappeared afterward.

"DAMMIT!" Crystal King yelled as the path got opened as always.

"Hey," Roy pointed at 3 Roturrets in midair without moving. "Don't those guys rotate to fire?"

"Pit, I think you need to go and just use your shield. You'll win very easily." Chris suggested.

"Okay." Pit nodded and he stepped forward, where the Roturrets activated themselves and fixed their turrets at the angel, who pulled his shield out.

...But nothing seemed to happen as they aimed at Pit but didn't shoot.

"..." Pit peered over his shield. "...Aren't you going to attack?"

"They CAN'T speak, genius." Crystal King said.

Pit put his shield away but then the Roturrets fired 18 shots at him. The angel gasped and ran away but half of the shots landed on him as he was pushed back to the force field and crashed.

"PIT!" Luigi yelled.

"They're smart," Crystal King said. "If you put some kind of guard, they won't shoot until you take it away."

Pit coughed a little before 9 more shots were fired at him as he yelled in pain.

"Pit! Use your arrows!" Mario yelled.

"Q-quick..." Pit muttered as he got up and fired several arrows as quickly as he could to discrupt the Roturrets who spun madly.

"Keep going! They won't attack if you keep doing that!"

After a barrage of blue arrows from Pit's bow, the Roturrets blasted away and vanished before the path opened for the Smashers (with Crystal King cursing).

A Red Koopa Troopa was waiting for them with crossed arms.

Parakarry flew to him. "Take a break, you."

"Never!" the Red Koopa Troopa said angrily. "I want some action because appearing out of nowhere isn't exactly what I was planning to do!"

"Oh," Parakarry blinked. "Then do you want a ride back home?"

"..." the Red Koopa Troopa thought for a moment. "...Hmm...well, if you would."

"Hang on." Parakarry carried the Red Koopa Troopa upwards where he passed the force field and let the Koopa fall. "If you keep going down, you'll eventually find your way back home!"

"Thanks, my friend!" the Red Koopa Troopa yelled as he disappeared in the long depth of clouds before Parakarry returned to the cloud and the force field disappearing once again.

"...How did you get outside the force field?" Crystal King asked.

"Because his enemy gave up the moment he decided to return back home." Meta Knight explained.

"...I curse Lord Bowser's minions..." Crystal King muttered as the Smashers advanced to the next cloud.

4 Feyeshes appearing, fixing their eyes at the Smashers.

"Oh, I know how to deal with these." Geno said as he simply stepped forward, shot several bullets at their eyes an-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" the Feyeshes yelled.

"...Did they just speak?" Parakarry asked.

"D-dude! Why did you do that for?!" one Feyesh asked with its eye turning red while they all cried.

"Our eyes are everything for us! Y-you're so mean!" a second Feyesh said as it tried to wipe out all the tears from its lower eyelash.

"Why do you treat us like this?! W-why?!" a thrid Feyesh asked while it cried and sobbed.

"Y-you're very rude, mean and not to mention heartless to our kind!" the fourth Feyesh cried. "That's it! We're getting out of here! We don't care what Tabuu does to us because we like our eyes very much! C'mon, guys! Let's go find our paradise!"

The 4 Feyeshes nodded and they all floated up before disappearing.

Geno blinked confused before turning to the Smashers, who most of them were glaring at him. "...Oh, please! They were our enemies!" Geno defended himself.

"You're mean, dude." Mallow said simply before Geno glared at him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh..." Crystal King sighed in utter disappointment as he opened the next staircase for them.

2 Towtows were sleeping peacefully as the Smashers reached the cloud.

"...Luigi?" Mario asked.

"...W-well, they look cute..." Luigi said as he stepped forward and walked all the way to the Towtows. "...H-hell-"

The Towtows suddenly woke up and roared loudly, releasing sparks that made Luigi scream and back away in fear as both creatures lunged at him. Luigi used Super Jump Punch that didn't turn into a Super Fire Punch as it only made a simple hit (and coin come out) on the Towtows, making them even angrier.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!!!" Luigi screamed as the Towtows chased him around the field.

"Dealing with him in a match isn't going to be that hard." Meta Knight said before Chris wacked his head slightly with his staff. "And why the hit, I ask?"

"For acting superior when you're not." Chris said with crossed arms.

"Hmph."

"I-I have to strike back!" Luigi yelled as he slid along the cloud and saw the Towtows lunging at him. The green plumber gasped but since he was still sliding, he tripped and the Towtows passed over him and directly to the force field where they yelped in pain, grunted and looked at each other's nose.

There was blood coming from them and they yelled in horror before stupidly running into the force field where they vanished.

"...I-I did it?" Luigi asked as he looked back. "...I-I did it! I did it!"

"Well...was that a way to win?" Roy asked.

"Even the most clever can make a horrible mistake." Meta Knight said.

"Oh, so that applies to you." Hammer Kirby said.

"...Shut up." Meta Knight muttered as the force field lowered.

"D-did you see how did I-" Luigi was interrupted as they climbed the stairs.

"Er, Luigi, I think you did very well. N-now we need to advance so don't show off that much either..." Chris said as he sweated.

"...Okay..."

A Bytan waited for them. It took out another Bytan out of its eye and then the 2 took 2 more, then 4 more, then 8 more, then 16 more, the 32 more, then 64 more, then 128 more, then 256 more.

"..." the Smashers simply watched all the Bytans overflowing the cloud where they were and accidentaly broke the force field and fell off the cloud in a rain of themselves, thus killing themselves by multiplying.

"...Huff..." Crystal King sobbed. "W-why do we have such stupid underlings?! T-this isn't fa-a-a-a-a-aair!!!"

The Smashers went ahead to the next staircase as the 2 villains tried to stay under control, or Crystal King even more.

3 Autolances were rolling around the cloud as if they were guarding it. Meta Knight took a step forward with Galaxia ready and the 3 Autolances quickly turned and fired several lances at him, which he quickly evaded using Dimensional Cape and appearing behind one of them, pushing its helmet out to reveal an emergency light.

"Why would they need an emergency light? They don't seem to be the Subspace Army's emergency vehicles to me..." Roy trailed off.

"Aah, the mystery!" Twink said as Meta Knight took a step back from a thrusting spear of another Autolance. The masked knight used a fast charged slash to push the helmet away before using Shuttle Loop to pull the remaining Autolance's helmet away.

The 3 Autolances quickly aimed at him flying around and fired their lances. Meta Knight simply moved to the sides with ease as he descended upon the Autolances to land a severe slash on the 3, right on their emergency lights that caused their defeat as Meta Knight landed and sheathed Galaxia.

"...That was very entertaining." Pit remarked.

"I remember fighting these enemies before, and that knowledge about their weaknesses is valuable." Meta Knight explained as the next path opened. "We must go."

"Why don't you go back instead?" Huff N. Puff suggested. "Pleeeease? Crystal King is in a mental state because of you."

"No." Mario said.

"Sugar on the top?"

"No."

"With candy?"

"No."

"With cheeries?"

"No."

"How about lemon ice cream?"

"Hmm." Hammer Kirby and Chris "hmm'd" at the same time. "Lemon ice cream..."

"You like lemon ice cream?" Chris asked.

"And all flavors." Hammer Kirby said.

They all reached the next cloud and 3 Big Primids appeared from the air and stomped the cloud like sumo-wrestlers.

"Leave them to me." Mario said as he stepped forward.

The 3 Big Primids ran at Mario and tripped to crush him, but the red plumber rolled to the right and jumped straight to them to land a fist on the first Big Primid. It bounced a bit before spinning with a jump towards Mario that made some damage to him.

"Look out! They're charging their attacks!" Parakarry yelled as the other 2 Big Primids raised their fists with engulfing flames before slamming all of them on the plumber, who got pushed to the floor in pain.

"Oh no, Mario!" Chris yelled worried.

"I'm fine!... A bit hurt but I'm fine!" Mario shouted as he coughed.

"If by little hurt he means a bloody nose..." Geno trailed off as Mario didn't notice half of his nose bleeding badly. "...Then I'm worried."

Mario jumped straight towards the second Big Primid and pushed them away with both feet before using several Fireballs to debilitate them even more. The Big Primids adjusted their "hats" and ran at Mario who landed and used a headbutt to push them upwards.

"Was that a headbutt or did he slam his fists with his head?" Chris asked confused.

The 3 Big Primids charged their fists in unison but Mario took out FLUDD a shot a stream of water to the fists who got wet, making the Big Primids get shocked.

"I know that WASN'T fire technically." Pit said with a bored look.

And with a sliding kick, Mario slid underneath the 3 Big Primids and used a Super Jump Punch to get coins out from them. The plumber got unable to move but with a quick fall, he was able to recover, and enough to use another headbutt to blast the 3 Big Primids away.

"That was very impressive," Chris said. "Mario, you're really a natural fighter."

"Oh, thank you," Mario nodded. "I train normally without showing off my abilities."

"Suuuuuure." Roy said.

"You don't believe me?" Mario took out a list that Chris took once they walked to the next cloud. "See who shows off in there after winning a match."

"...Mario...pretty much EVERYONE except you, Luigi and Peach are here...and the date for this is 2001, when the Melee Tournament took place." Chris pointed out.

"I think they still do that." Mario said.

"Well, in that case, I pity the guys who really like to show off after a match ends."

Chris was pitying Bowser, Captain Falcon, Falco, Fox, Ganondorf, Link, Ness, Pikachu, Roy, Dedede, Sonic, Wario and Wolf.

"I pity the guys who don't use swords." Roy said.

The red-haired swordsman didn't pity Marth, Ike, Link, Toon Link, Meta Knight, Pit and Chris if he used his Swordsman or Moogle Knight job.

"I pity the "fighters" who don't show any bravery during battles." Meta Knight said as Luigi forced a glare that later turned into a shocked face.

Meta Knight pitied Luigi, Lucas, Pichu and Olimar.

"And I pity the guys who can't eat a whole feast in one minute like me!" Hammer Kirby said with a happy expression.

Kirby just pitied everyone else except himself.

"We're here, "pitiers." Mario called out.

"And clean your nose." Pit said as he took out a napkin from his back.

"Why?" Mario asked before Pit used his Mirror Shield to reflect Mario's reflection. "...Oh."

"Quick. I hate to use these sacred items as every-day accessories." Pit said.

4 Scope Primids appeared and Pit decided to participate again to reflect their shots backs, which the Scope Primids didn't evade as they received stupidly their shots, thus killing them.

"Hurray for reflectors." Roy said as he high-fived with Pit.

"Hurray for dead Smashers!" Huff N. Puff yelled while Crystal King sobbed.

On the next cloud, 3 Fire Primids appeared, rubbing their stomachs where they stored fire to be prepared for the next fight.

"Don't worry," Chris said as he stepped forward. "I know what spell to use."

The 3 Fire Primids ran at him and pulled back their heads to shot a stream of intense fire.

While the fire enemies were about to release their stream of fire...

"Douse and drown them down!... Watera!"

A big splash of water came underneath the Fire Primids, which they swallowed accidentaly, dousing the fire inside their stomachs to nothing as they seemed to panic.

"Since they're wet... Shock them for greater good... Thundara!"

2 powerful bolts of lightning crashed into the 3 wet Fire Primids, which electrocuted them greatly before blasting away to the force field where they vanished as Shadow Bugs. The force field was removed and the Smashers went to the next cloud.

"I was wondering," Geno began. "Why don't you use that combination with an enemy? They seem to get more damaged with water and lightning combined."

"Hmm..." Chris wondered.

The next cloud had 3 Tickens walking around slowly. Parakarry decided to fight this time.

"You 3, get out." Parakarry said with a glare.

"This isn't going to work this time." Mario said.

"Oh, really?" Parakarry asked before the 3 Tickens raised their spikes upwards and pinched the Paratroopa as he was pushed back. "Y-you little!" Parakarry flapped his wings angrily and hid inside his shell, where he aimed at one of the Tickens and used Shell Shot to slam himself to it.

The Ticken suddenly trembled and it released a small chick that flew upwards and disappeared.

"Was he fighting a little chick and was it controlling the armor?" Mallow asked.

"Sometimes it's better not know." Twink shrugged as he saw Parakarry hiding inside his shell to slam himself on another Ticken, who released another little chick that flew away.

"Ha! I'm far stronger than before. Fear me!" Parakarry proclaimed as he used Shell Shot on the last Ticken, who released another little chick that flew away to the distance.

Hammer Kirby sniffed. "W-will they find their mothers?"

Chris picked him up and rubbed his head. "T-they will..." Chris shed a tear. "I'm sure they will..."

Meta Knight shook his head in shame (for Chris and Hammer Kirby) as they all advanced to the next cloud.

The next cloud had 2 Shellpods and Roy stepped forward.

The 2 Shellpods quickly ran towards Roy, who charged his Flare Sword quickly to release a devastating blow. When the 2 Shellpods lowered their horns to raise Roy to the air, the swordsman slammed his sword hardly on them to create a big explosion, causing some damage to him and the Shellpods whose shells got broken.

The 2 Shellpods (without shells) let 2 high pitched bellows before Roy used Double Edge, the dance inflicting 3-hits followed by a last slam that blasted them away. "That's more like it!" Roy said with enthusiasm.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" Crystal King cried out before sobbing out loud, opening the next staircase to the next cloud.

"We're causing a mental breakdown in his mind." Geno said.

"Meh, the more severe, the better." Mallow commented.

3 Metal Primids appeared and they adjusted their hats a little as Hammer Kirby stepped on the field.

The 3 Metal Primids, as their previous comrades, ran at Hammer Kirby who charged his hammer behind him before raising it with a devastating force that pushed 2 of them to the air before landing back. The other one got behind Hammer Kirby and kicked him 2 times.

Hammer Kirby gasped once his ability bounced away from him and disappeared once it touched the force field.

"H-he lost his ability!" Twink said in shock.

"Relax," Mario said. "Kirby can use another one."

Twink looked back at Kirby who pulled out another hammer from behind his back and slammed it on the third Metal Primid, who got pushed away a little before Kirby leaped to him with 3 spinkicks that managed to blast it away.

Kirby looked back where the 2 Metal Primids charged at him and tripped to crush him with both of their weights combined, but Kirby flipped back on the floor and then rushed at them by spinning with his hands and feet, before spliting his legs apart by spinning them to push them at both sides of the force field, where they vanished and opened the way to the next cloud.

Then Kirby did the Kirby Dance, which Chris considered very cute.

On the next cloud, 4 Floows appeared and floated slowly to the sides. Luigi, with some courage, stepped and made a ridiculous fighting stance.

"Luigi, don't humiliate yourself even more..." Roy said with a frown.

"T-this is how I fight, okay?" Luigi said with some tone of annoyance.

The 4 Floows floated to Luigi and they remained close to him without even doing anything. Luigi took advantage of this opportunity to use a Super Fire Punch in a chain-reaction manner to all the Floows, who got pushed back as their tiles moved at the sides.

"I remember them very well," Mario said. "Luigi! Attack them before they recover!"

"R-right!" Luigi said as he ducked and charged up his Green Missile to blast himself towards a single Floow, who got blasted away as the other 3 recovered their healths and floated to Luigi before releasing terrifying screams of agony that damaged Luigi severely. "YEEEEEEEEEH!" Luigi yelled his own scream of agony.

"Luigi, you need to counterattack their attacks!" Pit yelled.

"I-I want to see you doing it!" Luigi yelled as he quickly used Luigi Cyclone to push the 3 Floows away. "P-phew..."

"C'mon! Attack them now!" Twink yelled trying to cheer on Luigi as the green plumber looked up to the Floows recovering. Luigi jumped straight to one of them to use another Super Fire Punch to blast it away with success. Luigi quickly landed (on his head) and tried to get up quickly to jump at another recovering Floow.

"Isn't Luigi changing his ways to fight now?" Mario asked.

"He sure is." Roy said with a nod after Luigi used 4 karate chops on the second-to-last Floow, blasting it away.

"F-fear me!" Luigi yelled at the last Floow who floated to his way and tried to release its scream of fury and agony, but Luigi used a fast headbutt to stun the Floor for a moment before the green plumber used a flip kick to finish it off. "Y-yeah!" Luigi said, jumping in excitement.

"Damn you, green man!" Crystal King yelled as he opened another path to the next cloud.

"Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Luigi! Lui-"

"Luigi! We're going to leave you behind!" Mario yelled from the staircase.

"...Huh?" Luigi turned to Mario and sighed in depression. "N-nobody appreciates me..." Luigi muttered in shame as he slowly walked to them.

"...I do." Chris said, standing from behind Luigi.

"...O-oh, thank you." Luigi said with a small smile.

The next cloud had 2 Greaps that rolled around the place.

"I had horrible nightmares with those monsters before," Pit said as he took a step forward. "I won't let them torture me again."

"Their weak points are their heads, remember." Mario said.

"I will." Pit said as the Greaps rolled towards him and raised their sickles above, which Pit took the opportunity to roll behind them.

"It looks like a baby carriage to me." Twink said.

"It exudes both creepiness and cuteness..." Meta Knight trailed off.

"Ooh, Meta Knight saying cuteness?" Parakarry teased.

"You want your head on the floor?"

"N-nevermind, sir." Parakarry nodded in shock.

"Yiah!" Pit jumped behind one Greap and used a forward slash with both of his blades to make it jump off the ground a little. Pit proceeded to spin his blades quickly to slash his head several times before he used a downward slash to blast it away.

"Watch out!" Geno yelled as Pit got attacked by the other Greap's sickles, which slammed into him and pushed him to the force field. Pit grunted in pain and he ran at the Greap while he yelled. The Greap raised its weapons again and Pit made a risky move and jumped to his head.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Kirby yelled in slow motion as the Greap slowly moved its sickles on Pit while the angel moved his blades forward.

The first attack landed, and the enemy got pushed back.

"..." Kirby opened his eyes and saw Pit dropped on the cloudy floor.

"...Oh my god..." Chris muttered. "...Pit...he isn't..."

The Greap rolled towards Pit and it raised its sickles again.

"...Huh?" Crystal King said confused. "...He's dead?... He's actually dead?"

"It appears so..." Huff N. Puff said.

"...YES! FINALLY! VICTORY IS OURS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"

He was interrupted as a familiar Greap was shown blasting off outside the force field that disappeared once it was defeated.

"..." Crystal King looked to where Pit was, and the angel was shown holding the Palutena Bow with a small smile and weakened eyes. "...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"PIT!" Mario and Roy yelled worried as they all ran to Pit.

"Pit, can you move?" Roy asked as he knelt to Pit.

"I can..." Pit muttered weakly as he slowly got up. "I'm...a little bit...tired..."

"Don't push yourself like that," Meta Knight said. "You're going to become a burden if you do that."

"Meta Knight!" Chris yelled.

"I merely said the truth."

"..." Chris looked at Pit. "If you want, I can heal your wounds."

"...Thanks..." Pit nodded as Chris changed to his Fonyc User job and healed Pit's wounds while they got to the next cloud.

The next cloud had 3 Nagagogs playing tag, and Geno stepped forward.

The 3 Nagagogs ran to Geno, who jumped to the air and fired several bullets at them. However, the Nagagogs rubbed their stomach and they grew up in size, before growing to big red versions of themselves, beating Geno's own height as the puppet's eyes widened in shock.

"RUN!" Twink yelled as the huge Nagagogs ran after Geno. The puppet, while he ran away, used Geno Beam to make them back away. Geno noticed that one Nagagog was gone before it slammed its fist on him, pinning him down to the cloud while some of the Smashers gasped.

"Oh no, not him too!" Mario said worried as Geno struggled to get off from the Nagagog's hand on him.

"You...won't..." Geno clenched his mouth (since he didn't have teeth). "...You won't...stop me...from saving Kalmar... Take...THIS!" Geno pulled out his right hand and fired a charged beam to the Nagagog's face, which made it back away before it was blasted away to the force field.

"Come-back! Come-back!" Mallow and Twink cheered as Geno got up and rolled away from the other Nagagogs' fists. The puppet quickly held out his hands to the sky where he shot a light and slammed his hands on the floor, calling forth several lights from the sky. "GENO BLAST!" Geno yelled as the Nagagogs were constantly damaged before they blasted away and vanished.

"I'll provide healing," Chris said as he went to Geno and made his staff glow. "If this continues like this, we're going to have problems."

"I know..." Geno nodded. "But we're so close to Kalmar now. We can't fail."

"Exactly." Mario said with a nod as they proceeded to the next cloud.

Music stop

"...Oh no..." Pit muttered.

"...It's..."

There was a R.O.B. Sentry waiting for them. Mario, Pit, Kirby, Luigi and Meta Knight felt nostalgic about what happened during the invasion of the Subspace Army.

"...Now..." Kirby began as he looked down sadly. "...I wonder what happened to R.O.B...."

"That's right..." Chris said. "You fought alongside him for a short time, didn't you?"

"Yes," Pit nodded. "If I remember, R.O.B. couldn't forget something tragic about himself..."

"R.O.B. was involved greatly as Tabuu's Ancient Minister," Meta Knight explained. "He was a very depressed character to begin with. Nobody could make a conversation out of him, ever if we tried."

"He only wanted to stop Tabuu from hurting the other R.O.B.s, but at the same time, he was very frightened to face Tabuu himself." Mario added.

"I tried to cheer him...but it was useless..." Kirby said sadly.

"So, who's this R.O.B. guy?" Mallow asked.

The 5 Smashers explained everything to the others.

"I can't believe his race got imprisoned by Tabuu..." Twink said worried.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Behind Us!

Chris turned to the R.O.B. Sentry and made a serious face. "(Wait...a race? It's stupid to me... Robots are not considered a race. They're...um...artificially created by people so, they're technically machines. Calling them a race is going a bit too far to define them... Which brings a question...)" the World Traveler put his right hand on his chin and looked down. "(If robots are created by people...and since they're not a race like humans, anthros, Pokémon, elves, half-elves, featherfolk, felinefolk, menodixes, and other races...)"

"Chris?" Pit turned to Chris.

"(If robots are created by people...who made the R.O.B.s?)"

"Chris!"

"Huh?" Chris turned to Pit. "O-oh, sorry. I was thinking about something regarding the robots."

"Well...why don't you share what you think to us?"

"...Later..." the World Traveler turned to the R.O.B.. "Right now, we need to advance."

"I'll be fighting it." Roy said as he took a step forward.

The R.O.B. Sentry quickly went towards Roy and it tried to slap its hands on him, but Roy used Counter to push it back. The R.O.B. Sentry went after him again but Roy used Double Edge to defeat it easily as the path opened again.

"..." Roy looked down. "...After you told me everything about R.O.B...I feel guilty for destroying one that looks like him."

"Let's just go." Meta Knight said as they went to the next cloud.

And there was a R.O.B. Blaster waiting for them.

"...I'll go." Mario said.

The R.O.B. Blaster pulled back its head and shot a fast and strong laser that Mario reflected back using his cape. The R.O.B. Blaster got pushed back but regardless, he shot another laser that Mario reflected back. Its own laser was just too much for the robot that he exploded into bits as the path opened again.

"...Sorry..." Mario muttered in shame as they advanced to the next cloud.

There was a R.O.B. Launcher ready to fire a missile. Mallow stepped forward and he called an impacting lightning bolt (Shocker) to crush the R.O.B. Launcher. It wasn't enough and it shot a missile that slowly flew to Mallow. The cloud prince jumped over it and took out a stick that he slammed on the robot, making it explode into bits.

"..." Mallow looked down in shame as the path opened.

"Just 2 more clouds to reach them." Geno said.

"...Yeah, but..." Mallow shook his head.

"...I know...the robots..."

There was an Armank waiting for them.

"I TOLD YOU TO CALL FORTH 2 OF THEM!" Crystal King yelled.

"You forgot to remind me the 3 previous fights!" Huff N. Puff yelled.

"I'll fight it." Meta Knight said as he stepped forward.

The Armank slowly went after Meta Knight and when it was close, a big arm sprouted out from the top and it spun to shoot a big energy ball that Meta Knight dodged by a long backstep. The masked knight jumped to the arm and used 3 slashes to cut it down.

The interior of the Armank opened and between the chassis and the lower part, a blob-looking creature looked around in panic before the masked warrior used Shuttle Loop, combining it with a strong slash that pushed the Armank back.

It was going to close the chassis but Meta Knight used Drill rush to pierce through the middle of the enemy to make it explode once he landed on the other side.

Thus, the second-to-last cloud was at their reach, while the bigger cloud that contained Crystal King and Huff N. Puff was closer that before.

Music stops

Kirby looked down where the enormous cloud was. "...We're pretty far from the ground now..."

"And very close to get Kalmar back." Geno said as they climbed the next staircase.

"..." the Smashers stopped walking once they reached the next cloud, but nowhere was there waiting for them.

"...Wait," Pit looked around. "Something is going to appear here. It's a guess, but I'm sure of it!"

"Thinking back where we were attacked 50 times, it's no surprise." Chris said as he rolled his eyes.

A dark portal appeared between the next staircase and the Smashers. From it, a foot took a step out before it slowly showed them the person walking outside of it with several evil snickers.

"...You..." Roy muttered as he slowly reached for his swo-

"W-wait," Chris interrupted. "Roy, what is the name of your sword? I know Marth's sword is Falchion and Ike's sword is Ragnell, but what's the same of yours?"

"Sword of Seals." Roy muttered.

"Oh, thank you."

"So," the figure that spoke in front of the Smashers. "You're here at last."

"Shut up, Ganondork!" Roy yelled.

Ganondorf glared at Roy. "Why must the young swordsmen always have to be this disrespectful to me?!"

Preview of the next chapter

"You shall not pass through here!" Ganondorf demanded.

"We shall pass through here!" Mallow yelled.

"Make me!"

"I will!"

...

"Crystal King's Issues. Only a small preview? But the title pretty much says that we're going t-" Mallow was interrupted as a random Snorlax fell on top of him.

Tales of Symphonia - Zelos's Theme (Serious Arrangement)

"..." Twink looked at Geno.

"...Yes, he finished." Geno said as he unblocked Twink's ears after the king of ice ended his long sentence with curses.

"You have arrived," Ganondorf said as he crossed his arms. "At last, another chance to get rid of you."

"But aren't we going to fight you with only one of us?" Mallow asked.

"True, but you will fall to your deaths if that person dares to fail."

Chris looked at Luigi. "N-no! Not me!" Luigi said as he shook his head quickly in panic.

"Hmph," Ganondorf chuckled. "Do not worry, I will not fight such a pathetic vermin like the green man."

"W-why can't anybody remember my name?" Luigi asked.

"I do." Mario said.

"B-but because you're my brother!"

"We do," everyone said.

"B-but just because I live with you!"

"I do not." Ganondorf said with a glare.

"B-but just because you hate pretty much everyone but yourself!"

"Please, we are not jumping to bonds with people," Ganondorf smacked his right fist into his left palm. "Enough about this. I want to see this cloud with blood spilled all over it."

"I'll make sure that blood if from you!" Pit said as he took out his dual blades.

"...Wait..." Chris stopped Pit from stepping forward. "Ganondorf, I want to ask you something."

"...Very well." Ganondorf nodded.

"Do you know what is R.O.B. doing?"

"..." Ganondorf closed his eyes. "That fool is serving Tabuu as his high officer commander, who instructs everyone to deploy the Subspace Bombs around all the worlds. I do not know more about that piece of metal."

"H-hey! You were worried about him before!" Mario yelled.

"I did?" Ganondorf asked with a smirk. "I do not care about anyone else rather than myself. The day I become a "hero" I am going to be very bad at it and make a fool of myself saving the naive princess and the coward idiot."

"...I don't know guys...but I think he's saying the truth about that." Chris said as he looked away.

"Good, somebody understands me." Ganondorf said with an evil smile.

"That's more like a smirk to me." Parakarry said as he looked at no one in particular.

Shh!

"Oh, sorry."

"With who were you talking to?" Kirby asked.

"N-nobody..." Parakarry shuddered.

"Ganondorf," Meta Knight began as he took out Galaxia. "Step aside and let us pass to finish the imbeciles on the cloud."

"You shall not pass through here!" Ganondorf demanded.

"We shall pass through here!" Mallow yelled.

"Make me!"

"I will!"

They all saw Roy stepping in front of the group as the force field appeared and trapped both challengers inside.

"Roy, are you serious?" Geno asked.

"Like hell I am!" Roy said as he looked at them over his right shoulder. "I always wanted to fight Ganondorf myself just to show Link that I can defend very well against him. Don't worry, I won't lose because we're sure don't want to fall at this height."

Kirby looked down at the insane height they were in. "...I can float down."

"And I can descend slowly." Pit said.

"And I can...turn into a moogle and descend slowly too..." Chris looked down in shame.

"To me, that job seems very useful." Meta Knight commented.

"Really?"

"SILENCE!" Ganondorf yelled as he took his right foot behind him and glared at Roy.

Tales of Vesperia - Fury Sparks

"Swordsman! You shall die by my hands!" Ganondorf yelled as he rushed at Roy.

"I'm also doing this because Link made a bet with me!" Roy said as he rushed towards Ganondorf. "If I can stab my sword at his heart, Link will lend me his Master Sword for a week!"

"I hope Zelda doesn't get a word of this." Mario said.

Ganondorf rushed with his arm ready to slam it at Roy, who jumped over him and slashed his head one time before landing behind the lord of darkness and thrust his sword to his back. Ganondorf grunted in pain as he was able to turn at Roy and use Wizard Foot to push him away as black flames radiated from the red-haired swordsman before vanishing.

"Roy, remember, Ganondorf has strong moves but he's slow." Mario said.

"I know..." Roy said as he shook his head as charged at Ganondorf, who smirked and used Flame Choke to grab the swordsman by the throat and slam it using the dark energy down to the floor. "Ugh..."

"Die!" Ganondorf yelled as he raised his right foot right above Roy's face. The swordsman gasped and rolled to the right to evade the stomp in time before quickly getting up. "Hmph, making your time to die come later?"

"At least I'll make yours faster. HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Roy rushed at Ganondorf with his sword ready as he thrust it forward with great speed, stunning Ganondorf with the blow for a moment, enough to use a small charged Flare Blade to inflict a good amount of fire damage.

"Ha!" Ganondorf slammed his fist into Roy to stun him a little before using Wizard Foot, pushing the swordsman to their before the lord of evil used Dark Dive to raise himself towards Roy, grabbing him by the shoulders as Ganondorf transferred electricity to Roy's body before pushing him away with an explosion of dark energy.

Roy rolled sideways along the cloud and stopped with his face on the floor as he twitched in pain. "...You won't...kill me...Ganondork..." Roy muttered as he stuck his sword on the cloud to stand up before regaining his composure.

"Phew..." Parakarry sighed in relief as he wiped out some sweat from his head. "One second there I thought he was done for..."

"Heh," Ganondorf chuckled. "Well, can you still stand up?"

"Yes..." Roy muttered weakly. "Enough to...push you down...to the clouds..."

"Sorry," Ganondorf said as he began running to Roy with his fists glowing dark energy. "But I will be the one pushing you out!"

"(Closer...)" Roy thought as Ganondorf was about to smack both fists on his face. "THERE!" Roy used a quick Counter to retaliate quickly at the lord who gasped and grunted in pain once a fast attack with fire slashed him across his armor. "Not even done!" Roy yelled as he quickly stepped in front of Ganondorf and used Double Edge to land 4-hits, the last one being a small fire slash that pushed Ganondorf back.

"U-ugh!" Ganondorf took several steps back and shook his head. "T-this is why I hate people like you..."

"And you're the main reason...why I hate creepy green guys..." Roy said as he panted.

"Then does that mean Ganondorf is an alien?" Kirby wondered.

"No, Kirby," Chris ducked and smiled to Kirby. "Ganondorf has a horrible face sickness that only seems to work on him."

"Ooohhh..." Kirby tilted his head.

"...Really?" Luigi whispered to Mario.

"No." Mario shook his head.

"I will kill you this time..." Ganondorf muttered as he ran at Roy, but then jumped in the air to slam his feet down on the swordsman. Roy gasped before he was pushed to the air straight as Ganondorf jumped and used a flip kick to push him away to the force field, where he crashed and landed on the cloud in pain.

"...U-ugh..." Roy stuck his sword on the cloud once again to regain his stance. "J-just...a little more..."

"Triforce of Power," Ganondorf began. "...Bring darnation to these impudent fools!!!" the lord of darkness yelled loudly as an explosion of rainbow aura covered him while he chuckled darkly.

"...Now that's bad." Roy said with shocked eyes.

"Pit," Chris began as he grabbed Pit's right hand. "Prepare to carry me."

"W-would you cheer on Roy before we fall?" Pit asked.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Ganondorf yelled loudly as he started to grow in size, transforming into Ganon with the same darkish aura in flames that emanated from his body. Roy's eyes widened while his pupils shrunk once the beast stomped the cloud in fury and fixed his eyes at the swordsman. "PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM, PUNY SWORDSMAN..."

Pit rolled his eyes. "Meet your doom...that expression is so overused in you."

"SHUT UP!" Ganon yelled at Pit.

"Now, Roy." Mallow whispered to Roy once the swordsman saw the opportunity to sneak underneath Ganon, where he thrust his sword on his stomach before the beast roared in pain and slammed his stomach on Roy to crush him.

Ganon proceeded to push Roy with a big foot to slam him to the force field as the beast chuckled darkly. "I MUST BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU IDIOTS DO TO ME. TABUU ALTERED MY FINAL SMASH SO I CAN STAY LIKE THIS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, BUT I EXCHANGED INVINCIBILITY FOR MORE TIME, ENOUGH FOR ME TO CRUSH ALL OF YOU DOWN!"

"I was starting to wonder that," Chris said. "Your Final Smash should've only been a stomp to bury your enemies to the ground before ramming at them."

"I ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR WISDOM," Ganon said as he chuckled. "TOO BAD I CANNOT HURT YOU TO STOP YOUR STUPID MOUTH FROM LEAKING OUT INFORMATION ABOUT ME."

Chris gulped once Ganon glared at him, narrowing his white eyes. "Y-yes, i-it's a shame y-you can't kill me r-right now..."

"AW, THE KID IS GOING TO MAKE AN ACCIDENT ON HIS CLOTHES, BELOW?"

Kid.

"..." Chris put a stronger grip on his staff. "N-no, I-I'm not going to do a dirty thing like that..."

Roy slowly walked towards Ganon from his back and tried charging up a Flare Blade to deal a massive blow.

"HMPH," Ganon stood on his front feet and pushed Roy quickly with his back feet to slam the swordsman to the force field, where he yelled in agonizing pain as blood began to stroll down his mouth. "PATHETIC TRIES TO GET ME DAMAGED."

"ROY!" Pit yelled worried.

"SO," Ganon looked at Chris and narrowed his eyes. "DO YOU WANT TO DIE, KID?"

Chris put a stronger grip on his staff and shook his head. "N-no. W-why?"

"BECAUSE IT SEEMS I COULD ENJOY YOUR CRIES IN THE DARKNESS VERY WELL," Ganon explained as Roy tried to move from the back. "YOU ARE A CRYBABY, ARE YOU NOT?"

"Stop scaring him! He's not fighting you!" Mario yelled with a glare.

"If somebody should get hurt here, that's Roy!" Mallow said.

"Mallow, quiet!" Geno whispered angrily.

"AH, SUCH TASTE OF VICTORY..." Ganon licked his lips a little. "I WAITED FOR THE MOMENT TO KILL THE SWORDSMAN, AND THE TIME IS NOW!" Ganon jumped to spin in the air and turn to the weakened swordsman. "NOW, WHAT ARE YOUR LAST WORDS?!"

"...Go to hell...and fu-" Roy was interrupted.

"NO curses." Geno interrupted as Twink tilted his head confused.

"YES," Ganon nodded. "THAT IS WHAT THAT IDIOT LINK USED TO TELL ME WHEN I ALWAYS HAD HIM CORNERED LIKE THIS. HOWEVER, I HAVE YOU IN HIS PLACE!" Ganon laughed maniacally. "AND HE ALWAYS USED TO COME UP WITH A LAST STRATEGY TO DEFEAT ME. I HATED SUCH IDEAS OF HIM WHEN THAT HAPPENED. IF IT WERE NOT FOR HIM, I COULD HAVE HAD HYRULE UNDER MY REIGN!" the beast stomped the cloud. "BUT YOU ARE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT YOUR DESTINY TO DEFEAT ME, IT IS MINE!"

"U-u-ugh..." Roy sat down on the cloud as he leaned his back to the force field.

"AND NOW..." Ganon began. "LET ME CRUSH YOUR BONES TO NOTHING!"

Ganon began to stomp the cloud madly as he rushed towards Roy, who only opened his right eye to see the beast about to crush him under his weight. Roy smiled a little and he was about to faint...

...Until...

"HOLY LANCE!!!"

4 spears of light appeared from below Ganon and they all impaled him across all the sides, making the beast roar in pain as Roy watched surprised at the sudden magic appearing out of nowhere.

Back to the Smashers, there was Chris pointing his staff at Ganondorf with a serious face before he blinked a few times and got a surprised face. "...W-what did I just do?"

"Your magic hurt him," Pit pointed out. "B-but I thought we couldn't help someone in these fights!"

"Oh, I understand now." Meta Knight said with a nod.

"What do you understand?" Parakarry asked.

"We can't physically enter to aid whoever is fighting," Meta Knight looked up to Chris. "But magic, on the other hand..."

"...Now I get it..." Mario rubbed his chin. "Magic can trespass the force field because it appears inside randomly."

"Since it doesn't go through like a missile or a bullet, it can appear like a portal." Geno added.

"Correct," Meta Knight nodded. "All this time we could've had used magic to rely others in their fights from the very beginning."

Chris blushed. "S-so basically I was able to help any of you?"

"Oh, let me try something," Mallow cracked his fingers and held his hands to the sky. "SHOCKER!"

"UGH!" Ganon grunted in pain as a huge bolt fell on his back and disappeared.

"A-ha!" Mallow put his hands on his hips in triumph. "I can trespass the force field with my own magic!"

"WHY?!" Crystal King cried. "W-why must our plans need to fail like this?! W-we had everything planned very well!"

"Maybe we forgot some details..." Huff N. Puff said embarrassed of himself.

"I HAVE NOT FAILED!" Ganon yelled to the cloud.

"S-should we support Roy with magic?" Luigi asked.

"..." Chris looked at Mallow, who nodded with a small smile. "...Mallow, let's support Roy with our magic. Ganondorf won't attack him if we keep interrupting his attacks constantly."

"Okey-dokey." Mallow said with a chuckle.

"T-that's my own line!" Luigi protested, but Mallow ignored him.

"Roy! Can you still go on and fight?" Pit yelled.

"WHERE IS THAT SWORDSMAN?!" Ganon demanded as he looked around the cloud. "THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE. THE TERRAIN HERE IS PLAIN!"

"Time to fool the fool," Parakarry whispered to Twink, who nodded. "Oh my gawd! Roy is flying?!"

"WHAT?!" Ganon asked as he looked up and tried to find Roy. "WHERE IS HE?!"

"RUUUUUAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Roy yelled on the top of Ganon's back with a fully charged Flare Blade, which caused a big explosion on the back of the beast as it roared in pain. Roy quickly jumped back to the floor but twitched in pain. "D-darn, that attack weakened me...even more..."

Roy coughed several times before Ganon slowly turned to him with some deep grunts. "YOU-WORTHLESS-SWORDSMAAAAAAAAAN!"

"It's Roy...stupid Ganondork..." Roy muttered with a chuckle.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Ganon roared loudly in fury as he prepared to slam his body down on the red-haired swordsman.

"Thou who wouldst take revenge, carve here thy holy seal... ECLAIR DE LARMES!" Chris created a cross underneath the beast which rose up and cut his stomach with light energy, making Ganon take several steps back in pain.

"Psychopath!" Mallow called out as 2 spotlights focused on Ganon and made him confused. "Hmm...his health is still too big... He likes to live in the darkness and also kill swordsmen, something I was expecting from him." Mallow pointed out.

"R-Roy! Attack him!" Kirby yelled before Roy nodded and wiped the blood off from his mouth and put a grip on the Swords of Seals. The swordsman then charged at Ganon and slashed him across the face before the beast roared and moved his front feet in pain while he stood up.

"This is my chance..." Roy muttered as he looked at the bright scar on Ganon's stomach and used Double Edge, successfully doing a 4-hit combo before slamming his sword at the thick stomach.

"Y-YOU!" Ganon yelled as he almost crushes Roy by standing with his four feet.

Roy quickly rolled backwards and stood on his right knee with his sword ready as Ganon made like a bull and shot smoke out from his nostrils. Roy motioned towards himself and some of the Smashers gasped.

"H-he's not going to stand there and get crushed against the force field, is he?" Twink asked worried.

"We can only watch and wish for what is best..." Meta Knight said with a frown.

Ganon began to run slowly towards the swordsman, stomping the cloud with force and making it tremble with every foot he lowered down. Roy narrowed his eyes and put his right hand's palm facing Ganon.

"I-I don't know what is going to happen...b-but Roy, don't die!" Chris yelled.

"I...won't..." Roy muttered with a cough.

Once Ganon was about to pin Roy to the wall, the swordsman's palm touched Ganon's face and he quickly pushed himself to the left side and Ganon took a quick look to Roy's grin before he ran to the force field and yelled in pain.

"Heheheh..." Roy chuckled. "You're Ganondork, alright... Stupid enough to ram yourself...into the force field."

"Yes," Meta Knight nodded. "As I've said before, even the most clever can make a horrible mistake." Meta Knight repeated.

"Oh, so that applies to yo-" Kirby gulped once Meta Knight stared at him directly with his eyes. "I-I didn't say anything..."

"...Good." Meta Knight said before turning back to the fight.

"DAMN YOU, IMBECILE!!!" Ganon roared loudly as he shook his head and went after Roy.

"D-darn..." Roy fell on his right knee and panted heavily. "I-if this keeps going on like this..."

"Oh no, he won't!" Mallow yelled as he held out his hands. "Star Rain!"

"HUH?!" Ganon looked up where a giant Starman appeared and crushed him 14 times with several bounces before it jumped away and vanished. The beast was laying down on the floor but he shook his head and slowly got up. "YOU ARE LUCKY I CANNOT GO OVER WHERE YOU ARE AND EAT YOU ALIVE!"

"Eat this!" Chris yelled as closed his eyes and focused more energy to his staff. "O melody beckoning toward the abyss..."

An echoing voice of a woman was heard and everyone looked around for the source, before focusing on Ganon who found several bubbles coming from underneath him, exploding continuously as they somehow made him confused without moving. "S-STUPID..." Ganon said as he tilted his head by the sides.

"W-where did you call that voice?" Luigi asked confused.

"Er..." Chris turned to him. "I-I honestly don't know, but it usually appears when I do those kind of spells..."

"Ahem." Mallow coughed.

"Oh, sorry."

"Wait," Mallow snapped his fingers. "I have an idea to help Roy."

The cloud held out his hands towards the sky and closed his eyes to call forth a small cloud with a weird smile that floated over Roy and made rain. The rain that fell all around Roy suddenly began to heal his wounds by a half before it disappeared.

The swordsman stood up and shook his head a little. "...Why didn't you do that before?"

"Oops." Mallow stuck out his tongue.

"GRR!!!" Ganon shook his head to recover his composure and glared at Roy. "YOU ARE RECOVERED?! FINE! I AM GOING TO ENJOY CRUSHING YOUR BONES A LITTLE BIT MO-"

"Thundara!" Chris (using the Black Mage job) called forth 2 thunders that impacted Ganon from both of his sides. "Now! Attack!"

"Thanks for the help!" Roy shouted before running to Ganon's face and raising his sword to charge it up.

"Quick!" Pit yelled as Ganon moved himself back to ram at Roy. "Stop him!"

"SHOCKER!!!" Mallow yelled out.

SHOCKER!

"UGH!" Ganon grunted in pain as a big lightning fell down on his back. The beast noticed that Roy was very close to his face as he began to shine brightly with a shiny red color. "N-NO! YOU WILL NOT LAND THAT ON ME!" Ganon yelled as he jumped above Roy and slowly fell down to crush the swordsman.

"Magic won't push him away now," Meta Knight said. "Roy is in serious danger now."

"Trap my enemies in the coldest ice... Blizzara!" Chris yelled as a big icicle sprouted out in front of Roy and impaled Ganon on his glowing scar.

The beast was stopped in the air and Ganon looked down, where the icicle that impaled him disappeared, letting him fall down on Roy. "DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!"

Music stops

"OOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!"

An explosion of fire covered the area where Roy and Ganon were. Most of the Smashers dropped their jaws a little in shock, while Meta Knight watched without a single trail of emotion. Smoke almost covered the whole inside of the force field.

"...Did he..." Twink muttered worried.

"Please...tell me Roy didn't die..." Chris muttered worried.

"..." Mario's eyes trembled as the smoke cleared out...

...And both Roy and Ganondorf were knocked out.

"N-no!" Parakarry yelled.

"...I-idiot..." Roy muttered as Ganondorf couldn't respond back. "...I-I told you...you're an idiot..."

"...Roy!" Kirby yelled happily as the force field lowered down and the Smashers ran at Roy. They all saw Ganondorf entering inside dark portal, leaving the cloud and everyone.

"T-thank goodness..." Chris sighed in relief as Pit helped Roy to get up. "I-I thought you were going to die."

"...Heh..." Roy smiled weakly as he wiped some blood. "At least...he's out of the way now... T-too bad I lost the bet to Link though..."

"C-come to think of it," Luigi began. "Defeating Ganondorf was very fast this time."

"Because we discovered the flaw of those force fields." Pit said.

"T-thanks, guys," Roy chuckled. "If it weren't...for you...I could've died..."

"And now," Chris changed to his Fonic Hymn User job. "Your reward is a big recovery, by me, of course."

"T-thanks..." Roy nodded with a chuckle as the World Traveler healed the swordsman.

5 minutes later...

Everyone stood in front of the final staircase and to the big cloud that had Crystal King and Huff N. Puff.

"..." Parakarry flew to the front and looked up. "Those dorks are so going down after I ram my shell at them," he turned to the Smashers. "Okay, everyone! It's time to bring the beautiful spring back because I'm sure as hell we don't want an eternal winter forever, right?"

Mario nodded. "I haven't been that long to experience what you did, but I'll fight to end it."

"And to rescue Kalmar," Twink began as he looked up. "We need to defeat them. Just that."

"But we should be careful," Geno warned them. "They could be hiding something to surprise us the moment we step on that cloud."

"L-like?" Luigi asked worried.

"I don't know what. Either way, precaution is necessary."

"You worry too much," Meta night frowned. "After how the king reacted at the fall of every single enemt, it's clear that this won't be very hard to deal with."

"So that's his weakness?" Kirby asked.

"Perhaps, perhaps not."

Chris shuddered. "S-something very bad is going to happen after we climb these stairs..."

"You're thinking too much." Roy said.

"I'd be careful," Geno said. "Who knows what awaits with those 2."

Mallow rolled his eyes. "Just climb those stairs and let's fight those guys! They're REALLY going to be so dangerous after we reach them!"

Meanwhile, on the top cloud...

Mario Party - Mario's Rainbow Castle

"My mother was the best ice ruler," Crystal King said as he laid down on a cloud bed with Huff N. Puff using a notepad and wearing glasses. "S-she always used the most deadliest punishment upon those who dared to oppose her," he sniffed. "I-I admired her as my father. Both of them were the best of the best."

"Uh-huh," Huff N. Puff nodded before pointing his pen at him. "Any good memories besides that one?"

"..." Crystal King thought for a moment. "...Icicle Cream?"

"..." Huff N. Puff nodded as he wrote it down.

"Icicle Cream was much better than ice cream itself," Crystal King sniffed. "My father used to give me one of those. The icy aroma was incredible..."

"And what happened to that Icicle Cream?"

"T-the ice vendor...melted..." Crystal King sobbed. "W-what's worse, he was the only one of the whole mountain who knew the recipe, s-so that wonderful dessert was forever lost! LOST!" Crystal King cried loudly as several ice cubes fell down his yellow eyes.

Huff N. Puff nodded as he wrote it down. "(To think a guy like him was this troubled from the inside, if he has an inside that is...)" he shook himself. "Anyway, don't worry."

"W-why?" Crystal King asked as he looked at him with several sobs.

"We're in charge to protect the last Star Spirit. Tabuu gave us another chance to live so why not be happy for it?"

"...I don't see why the happiness is needed..." Crystal King looked away. "Our forces were slowly destroyed one-by-one and they're probably about to reach this place."

"We're here, in fact." Mario called out.

Huff N. Puff looked at him as Crystal King went on without noticing them. "In short, my childhood was horrible. I used to freeze the bed when I slept, freeze my dog, freeze the bathroom, freeze the enjoyable cold water, my dog again..."

"Y-you should stop now." Huff N. Puff suggested.

"But I'm not done yet," Crystal King looked at him. "I was about to explain the time my mother gave me a spat on my misty butt whe-"

Crystal King stopped once he saw the Smashers blinking confused at him.

"...T-that was what my friend Dennys told me about all his sucky childhood!" Crystal King said cheerfully as he jumped off from the bed cloud. "He sure had a very sucky past because the look on his face of mist was priceless! Yes! I also think his life sucked!"

"We're not idiots," Meta Knight said annoyed. "You, however..."

"...You don't believe me, do you?" Crystal King asked with a bored tone.

"No," everyone said.

"..." Crystal King sobbed one last time. "D-Dennys, w-why did you have that bad childhood..."

"They're NOT believing you anymore!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he tossed the pen, glasses and notepad away.

"Fine!" Crystal King yelled in fury. "Now you know how my past sucked so much! I hate it! I want to rewrite that history to correct the errors I did along the way to become a better person, but I don't have that kind of power and NEVER, EVER will!"

"Then, can you please give Kalmar back to us?" Mallow asked.

"Oh," Crystal King took out the card from his robe. "Here."

"NO!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he snatched the card and hid it somewhere inside himself. "Stop being such a pansy and get yourself together! We have company," he pointed at the Smashers. "And a bad one!"

"B-but I..." Crystal King staggered.

"Will you act like the usual villain you are for once?! You were one of Mario's most difficult enemies, for your ice crown's sake!"

"...Y-yes..." Crystal King sniffed as he adjusted his ice crown. "I-I'm fine now... I-I can do this..."

"Yeah," Huff N. Puff nodded with a chuckle. "Remember, you have the ice power with you."

"I have the ice power..." Crystal King repeated.

"You can freeze anyone..."

"I can freeze anyone..."

"You can recover at the last moment to annoy them..."

"I can recover at the last moment to annoy them..."

"You're a king, despite not ruling your own kingdom or nothing else."

"I'm a king, despite not ruling my own kin-wait, what is that supposed to mean?!" Crystal King asked angrily.

"You don't make any sense with the "King" part of your name!" Huff N. Puff argued.

"You will bow down to me RIGHT now, this instant!"

"Ha!" Huff N. Puff laughed. "I won't, because you're not my boss!"

"Neither you are!" Crystal King yelled. "I'm the one who came up with the idea to cause this weather, remember?"

"That was Tabuu, actually..."

"Oh well," Crystal King rolled his glaring eyes. "But I gave more contribution than you!"

"I MADE all the clouds in here! You gave me a boost of ice power!"

"And I came up with the idea of our forces against them!"

"Oh," Huff N. Puff chuckled. "You mean the one where you failed miserably?"

Crystal King gasped and grunted afterward. "Y-you take that back!"

"Nah-ah," Huff N. Puff tilted by the sides. "It's the pure and honest truth. Admit it, your ideas suck."

"You didn't DO a thing if I recall correctly!"

The 2 of them continued arguing as the Smashers shifted their eyes between both of them. Twink yawned along with Mallow as the villains argued between themselves.

"Anybody thinks they're going to destroy each other if they keep going like this?" Roy asked.

"Apparently so..." Chris shuddered (using the Black Mage job).

"HEY!" both villains turned to them. "We're not killing each other!" they yelled.

"Then would you start the evil speech before a fight as we're forced to listen in a daily basis?!" Pit yelled.

"...You know, when you put it that way, it makes me feel rather useless for having to fight bosses like them with the evil speech part..." Chris said with an ashamed look.

"Or feel ashamed." Meta Knight added.

"Meh, it works, it sells and it pays off pretty well." Mallow said with sunglasses on, that he later tossed away.

"Okay, got to return to our evil senses," Huff N. Puff said. "Oh, so you finally arrived! We were tired of waiting for you but it seems you were strong enough to defeat everyone in your way up here."

"The solo fights was a bad idea for you 2." Geno said.

"Told you." Huff N. Puff whispered to Crystal King.

Crystal King frowned. "I expected all of you coming here to confront us. Gathering the previous 6 Star Spirits was an easy task."

"But," Huff N. Puff chuckled. "We're not idiots like the previous 6 keepers. We're a lot smarter than all of them combined."

"Yet, the mist dude cried the entire day." Mallow pointed out.

"S-shut up!" Crystal King yelled. "You just put me on my icy nerves! You won't do such a thing to me now that we have you where we wanted!"

"And I have you there as well!" Parakarry yelled. "Because of you, my job is much harder to do! Do you think my wings are going to hold me up for much more time? What the heck are you 2 thinking?!

"...Freeze the land in an eternal ice era?" Huff N. Puff responded in confusion.

"Hell no!" Parakarry flapped his wings angrily. "I'm here to give you 2 a piece of my mind! After that, my shell is going to give you one!"

"Leave the guy behind so he does all the work for us." Mallow whispered.

"No." Geno whispered.

"Parakarry, I think you should calm down a little bit..." Mario suggested.

Parakarry turned to him. "Nope. Mario, I'm not listening to you this time. This job of a postman is everything for me! I want to say the usual thing I always say when I lose a letter!"

"Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's job is never done?" Mario asked.

Parakarry nodded. "Yep, that same one," he turned to the villains. "Time to get you 2 to leave! I'm prepared for anything you throw at me!"

"...I told you it was a bad idea to freeze him and not do anything else after that." Huff N. Puff whispered.

Crystal King mumbled angrily.

Music stops

Chris's staff glowed red. "Fire magic should put you 2 out."

Both villains chuckled evilly.

"W-what is funny?"

"Tabuu told us about you," Huff N. Puff said. "He warned to get rid of the kid with the different powers to make everything easier."

"Why can't ANYBODY see that I'm a teen?!" Chris asked to the Smashers, but many looked away. "Y-you guys! Y-you're unbeliavable!"

Mist began to gather around the place as Crystal King moved his sleeves in circles. "Stand aside from the kid."

"Teen!"

"It doesn't matter." Crystal King said as the mist began to close in to the World Traveler.

"W-what are you going to do to me?" Chris asked worried as the circle of mist began to shrink.

"Quick!" Geno yelled. "They're going to do something to him. We need to stop them fro-"

"Not today!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he slammed his hands on the cloud and created an earthquake on it, causing the Smashers to stumble back.

Meta Knight was shown jumping to the air, before diving towards Chris. "Stay right there." Meta Knight said.

"That's what you think!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he lifted his right hand to the masked knight and a tower of thick clouds rose up from the floor and pushed him away.

"I-I need to stop him!" Chris said as he closed his eyes and focused his magic on Crystal King. "Burn them to black ashes... FIR-"

A loud sound was heard and the mist collided with the World Traveler, all around him. The Smashers saw Chris and gasped once that his body turned blue with several glitters around.

"W-wait, did they...freeze him?!" Luigi asked in shock.

"Yes," Crystal King nodded. "But that's not all."

Huff N. Puff began to grunt as sparks began to be released out from him, pulling his fists to him before raising them to the air, calling forth a strong lightning bolt that impacted on the frozen World Traveler and shattered the ice, setting Chris free but leaving him extremely weak.

"...I'm...so...sorry...everyone..." Chris muttered weakly before he collapsed by the right side and fell on the floor.

"CHRIS!" Kirby yelled worried as he ran to him and shook him a little. "Wake up! P-please! Wake up!"

"..." Geno ran to them and ducked to examine Chris. "...Not good, he was knocked out."

"N-no..." Kirby sobbed a little.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Crystal King laughed maniacally. "1 out! That's a nice comeback for us!"

"Bastards..." Roy muttered with a glare.

"This isn't good..." Pit shook his head. "If Chris is down, then that means we can do our combined attacks."

"I presume he will be fine once we finish this fight." Meta Knight said as he took out Galaxia.

"You? Finish this fight?!" Crystal King laughed for a bit to the sky. "I want to see the impossible happening!"

"We had enough of all of you!" Huff N. Puff yelled before looking at the king. "It's time now!"

"But of course," Crystal King said. "It's time for us to...merge!"

"Merge? The 2 of you?" Twink asked.

"Wouldn't use the Shadow Bugs be better?" Pit asked.

"For what?" Crystal King asked. "We're pretty strong if we merge together. The Shadow Bugs corrupt someone's mind and we don't want to take any risks. Tabuu himself told us to do it our way and he agreed."

"(But he said about us regretting it...)" Huff N. Puff thought. "So, shall we?"

"Exactly!" Crystal King yelled before pointing at the Smashers. "Behold! This merging is going to be your true nightmare!"

Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! - Boss Battle

The atmosphere around them turned a little bit blue as the cloud where they were on began to shake violently. Crystal King and Huff N. Puff chuckled evilly a clouds began to slowly cover both of them. The Smashers backed away a little from the gathering of clouds where the villains were standing.

"B-be on your guards," Meta Knight shouted. "We shouldn't underestimate these imbeciles!"

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" 2 voices from the cloud laughed evilly. "Now, this place is going to be your final resting grave!"

Geno took a step back. "Be prepared!"

"Right!" Mallow and Twink nodded.

When the clouds stopped gathering around the 2 villains, a new villain floated in their place...

...But something was wrong.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" both of them yelled. "BEHOLD OUR ULTIMATE TRANSFORMATION! We're now Crystal Puff: the Ultimate Subspace Army's Keepers of the Star Spirits! Now, you won't get the Star Spirit out from us so easily because our powers have increased to a new level, a level you won't resist for the first 4 minut-"

"It's just the crybaby king standing above the big cloud..." Parakarry pointed out with a bored look.

Back to where the "new" villain was standing, there were Crystal King standing on top of Huff N. Puff's head. Nothing else changed apart from Huff N. Puff in his icy blue color.

"...So much for that entrance..." Meta Knight said with a frown.

"Not to mention the stupid names combined..." Roy commented with a bored look.

"S-shut up!" Crystal Puff (both of them talking in unison) yelled angrily. "You don't comprehend our powers combined! For that, you'll die here!"

Parakarry quickly grabbed Luigi by the shoulders from escaping. "Oh no! You're staying here to fight those guys!"

"N-no!" Luigi yelled as he struggled to get off from Parakarry's hands. "I-I don't want to die! I-I'm allergic to death!"

"Nobody's stupid enough to be allergic to death. Now stay here!" Parakarry yelled as he pulled Luigi in front of the Smashers.

Luigi shed a tear and stood up. "A-alright...we can do this...we ca-"

"Say, who's going to look after Chris?" Mallow asked.

In an instant, Luigi appeared right besides to knocked out Chris and ducked with a bored look. "I-I can stay behind and let you guys fight them. I-I'll stay here and keep Chris safe."

Mario nodded to his brother. "Thanks, Luigi."

The others, obviously, frowned at Mario's over-confidence and naiveness towards his own brother.

Luigi made a happy expression. "W-well, get fighting! T-those 2 aren't going to stay glaring us the entire day, right?"

"...Let us leave him behind..." Meta Knight said with a frown as they turned to Crystal Puff.

"Wait right there!" Kawashima was heard from Chris's pocket. "I want to remind you all that Chris bought 2 Superspicy Curries and a Hothead. We also have a Green Shell, Poison Mushroom which is not effective against bosses and lastly, a Bumper. You can use them whenever you want but think carefully about when!" Kawashima explained. "Useful tip: Crystal Puff has gained back his weakness against fire so exploit it to the fullest."

"Useful info is always good." Mallow said with a nod.

"Oh, please take care of Chris too. I'm inside his pocket so if he gets crushed or anything...well...it's Game Over for me as well."

"I-I will..." Luigi shuddered as he dragged the World Traveler close to the staircase.

"STOP IGNORING US!" Crystal Puff yelled as he raised his 4 hands. "Ice, freeze them to their deaths!"

Mist began to circulate beneath everyone's feet and they all sidestepped out of the way as 8 icicles sprouted out before disappearing.

"Hmph, evasive actions..." Crystal Puff grunted.

"Attack with fire!" Roy yelled as mostly everyone ran to Crystal Puff.

"Begone!" Crystal Puff yelled as he waved a hand quickly in front of him to launch a strong wind, pushing them all back. "Hahahahahaha! Reaching us isn't going to be so easy ei-"

"Shut up."

"What?!" Crystal Puff looked up where Meta Knight went swiftly through the air and slashed the villain across both faces before landing close to him (them) and using a fast Shuttle Loop to slash them again, before thrusting his sword at Huff N. Puff's face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Crystal Puff yelled loudly. "H-how dare you, filthy knig...where did he go now?!"

"Very slow." Meta Knight commented as he appeared behind the villain (villains) using Dimensional Cape with a slash attack from behind.

"Our turn!" Pit yelled as he flew above a little to dive down on Crystal Puff and use a downward slash on Crystal King himself.

"U-ugh!" Crystal Puff backed away. "Freeze!" Crystal Puff raised both hands above and several ice bolts fell down the sky.

"D-dam-" Pit couldn't finish his sentence before an ice bolt down on him and froze him.

"Pit!" Roy yelled before glaring at Crystal Puff. "You're going to pay for that!"

"You do!" Crystal Puff yelled as he called forth several stalagmites of ice under the swordsman, slashing him across his body as Roy screamed in pain before the ice shattered.

"I-I'm not going to be pushed to the brink of death again..." Roy said as he coughed a bit.

"Too bad Ganondorf couldn't stop you," Crystal Puff said with a chuckle. "But we have the honor to do it."

"I thought you 2 were combined so technically you're one now?" Twink asked.

This little mistake was going to cause several confusions to everyone (the Smashers, and the figures stalking them every day behind the fourth wall, and probably beyond a screen on many rooms across a big, big world).

"...Shut up!" Crystal Puff responded as he raised his hands up and brought down an ice bolt on Twink, but Geno quickly pushed Twink out of the way and he got frozen.

"GENO!" Twink yelled before he tried to shatter the ice. "P-please, hold on!"

"Freeze you too!" Crystal Puff yelled as they (we told you it's confusing) called forth another ice bolt.

"Thin lollipop!" Kirby yelled excited as he quickly aimed his mouth at the ice bolt and jumped over Twink to save him from getting frozen as the puffball ate the ice bolt and started to shine brightly.

"W-why is Kirby shining like that?" Parakarry asked.

"Since the lightning had ice and electricity combined, I guess both were fused together but Kirby's ability recognized both as separated," Meta Knight explained. "And when he eats 2 different abilities..."

"He gains a random one." Mario added.

When Kirby stopped shining, he wore a jet cap on his head as he hovered above the floor a little with a mini-jetpack inside his hat, smiling a bit. "Jet Kirby prepared to take off, VROOM!"

"Take off but away!" Crystal Puff yelled as he inhaled a lot of air and blowed it to Jet Kirby.

"Storing Mach 5 engine!" Jet Kirby said as he used Store Power to, ironically, store power inside his hat as he pulled his left foot behind. After enough power was store, he used Jet Dash to blast himself towards Crystal Puff at an insane speed before releasing all the stored power's energy out by using Jet Cracker, creating strong shockwaves that damaged both enemies greatly. "VROOM!" Jet Kirby said happily.

"D-dangit!" Crystal Puff yelled in pain. "H-how can a puny marshmallow have this power?!"

"I wonder myself that too many times," Meta Knight commented before receiving a glare by Jet Kirby. "Finally, you defend yourself with a glare for a change."

"Vroom..." Jet Kirby grunted.

"Actually, he obtains a more serious personality when he copies a power from us." Mario said.

"If he had that personality without an ability he would be feared otherwise." Meta Knight said.

"Will all of you stop talking?!" Crystal Puff asked angrily as they called forth several Ice Puffs from the floor. There were 4 of them grinning with their bluish eyes staring at the Smashers.

"Want us to freeze them?" one Ice Puff asked.

"Yes. Go forth and kill them all!" Crystal Puff ordered before the 4 Ice Puffs floated towards the Smashers and gathered winds inside themselves.

"I'm not going to be frozen again..." Roy muttered as he used a small charged Flare Blade. Surprisingly, the small charged sword with fire was enough to blast one of them away.

"DAIHOOOOOOOOO!!!" the Ice Puff that Roy blasted away yelled.

Mario looked behind him where an Ice Puff blew an icy wind that froze him completely.

"MARIO!" Luigi yelled worried before the same Ice Puff turned to him and grinned. "...U-uh-oh..." Luigi muttered as the cloud enemy went towards him and the knocked out Chris. "S-stop!" Luigi yelled as he stood up and took a ridiculous judo fighting stance. "I-I can use fire!"

"Really?" the Ice Puff asked.

"Y-yeah!" Luigi said as he shot a small fireball that attacked the Ice Puff.

"AAH! IT BURNS! HELP!" the Ice Puff yelled in panic as it floated away to another Ice Puff that was trying to freeze Mallow.

"...P-phew..." Luigi sighed in relief and sat down by falling.

"UGH!" Parakarry held his hand up in pain after an Ice Puff froze him. However, when the Paratroopa fell down on the floor, the ice shattered and he was released instantly. "Y-you'll pay for that!" Parakarry demanded as he flew back and extended his feet to the ice cloud, using Sky Dive to push the cloud to the floor. "HA!" Parakarry accelerated to crash his feet on the cloud, making the enemy yell in pain before it vanished.

"My chance to get a raise!" an Ice Puff said cheerfully while gathering wind inside. At that moment, Geno broke out from his frozen state and aimed his fist at the cloud. "What? Gonna rocket your fist at me?"

Geno's fist began to shoot out steam before it went rocketing on the Ice Puff's face directly, causing a critical hit on the enemy.

"NO!" the Ice Puff yelled before it disappeared by the impact. Geno's fist turned back to him and the puppet caught it in time to put it back on his wrist.

"That's what you get for freezing me." Geno said before Twink floated to him and nodded.

"SHELL SHOT!" Parakarry yelled as he hid inside his shell and got himself blasted towards Crystal Puff at a high speed, colliding with the king above.

"AAAAAAAHH!!!" Crystal Puff yelled in pain before they shook themselves. "Hurting a king is against the laws of a kingdom, sick dork!"

"Yell whatever you want to yell back at me!" Parakarry yelled. "I'll yell it back to you until you're down without breathing air again!"

"Fool!" Crystal Puff yelled angrily as he seemed to gather electricity. "We hope you die with this!"

Both villains opened their arms as they shot down an ice bolt below themselves and to the floor, where it spreaded and froze everyone's feet with some damage.

"I'm F-L-Y-I-N-G, you know!" Parakarry yelled with a glare.

"...Great going," Huff N. Puff said as he looked up to Crystal King.

"Y-you, quiet!" Crystal King whispered angrily.

Pit slashed the ice from his feet to get released from it. "This little trap isn't going to stop us that much."

"But it does hurt..." Roy said with a cough as he got his feet out from the icy floor.

"Then try to get close to me!" Crystal Puff demanded.

The swordsman put a stronger grip on the Sword of Seals and he ran towards the villains, but on his way, he tripped and slammed his face on the floor, followed by a moan of pain. "O-oww..." Roy moaned in pain.

"The floor got frozen," Crystal Puff pointed out. "You can't see where is frozen because the mist covering your feet can't let you see well. Imagine the desperation to know which part isn't frozen!"

Mario was shown shooting fireballs around him as steam came from almost everywhere. "I imagine the desperation to freeze everything again."

"DAMN YOU, MARIO!" Crystal Puff yelled angrily. "Ice bolt, fall down upon him!"

An ice bolt fell down from the sky over the red plumber, but he quickly rolled behind to evade the bolt before charging at the cloud enemy.

"GRR! This is why I hate guys like you, bothersome guys!" Crystal Puff yelled as he created 2 ice saws between their (confusion again) hands and shot them at Mario.

"Thunderbolt!" Mallow called out as several lightning bolts impacted on the saws and disappeared them into bits of ice.

Mario jumped straight towards Crystal Puff and slammed a fist downwards on Crystal King, while Huff N. Puff shook in pain before shaking even more after Mario used a headbutt.

"Geno Blast!" Geno yelled as he shot a light to the sky and called forth several towers of light that slammed down into the 2 enemies, who yelled in pain.

"VROOM!" Jet Kirby used Jet Dash to cross the combined enemies and land on the floor before looking back at them.

"Oh no, you won't gang up on us like that again!" Crystal Puff yelled, gathering electricity on himself.

"Attack!" Roy yelled as he jumped straight to the enemies.

"N-no!" Mario held out a hand to Roy before the swordsman touched Crystal Puff and got severely electrocuted, pushing him away to the floor where he grunted and twitched in pain while some sparks flew out.

"NOW!" Crystal Puff yelled as he released a strong ice bolt on the floor and froze everything on it.

[DededeCloneChris]

"RED DUDE!" Parakarry yelled as Roy got frozen totally since he laid down on the floor after the push.

Not only that, the ice almost reached the World Traveler and the green plumber, who managed to pull Chris away from the frozen floor.

"UGH!" Crystal Puff twitched in pain after Meta Knight used Mach Tornado to trap them both inside. "BEGONE!"

"Hmph," Meta Knight stepped out of the way by a slam of Huff N. Puff's hands. "You're not worth the trouble." Meta Knight said as he then used 2 upward slashes to deal damage to the stomach.

"HA!" Crystal Puff yelled as he bounced on Meta Knight 3 times to stun him before shooting down an ice bolt to freeze him. "Out of our sight!" Crystal Puff yelled as he slapped the masked warrior out from the cloud.

"M-META KNIGHT! VROOM!" Jet Kirby gasped as he used Store Power to used a downward Jet Dash to get Meta Knight in time before crashing on something.

"Not good," Geno looked at Crystal Puff. "We're 6 against 1 now."

"2." Twink corrected.

"1!" Crystal Puff yelled, lifting his hands above to call forth several ice towers that pulled everyone above the air. "Freeze, ice, freeze!" Crystal Puff chanted as he called forth several ice bolts from the sky and from everyone before they all fell to the floor and were released once the ice shattered. "Mwahahahaha!"

"G-great deal..." Mallow muttered as he got up. "T-that combo wasn't that strong..."

"Your arm is bleeding." Geno pointed out.

"DUAH! HP RAIN! HP RAIN!" Mallow panicked as he called forth a small smiling cloud that rained water down on his arm and healed him. "Phew...that was very close."

"To what?" Twink asked (being the only one who for some reason didn't get attacked).

"...Y-you know what I mean..." Mallow said with a bored look.

"T-too bad I was in the air..." Parakarry coughed. "The bolt from the floor didn't touch me but the one from the air did...ouch..."

Pit embraced himself. "B-brr...his attacks are getting colder as well..."

"Be impaled!" Crystal Puff interrupted as he raised an ice tower on Pit and pushed him into the air before he crashed into the ice floor and yelled in pain.

"T-this ice floor...i-it hurt my wings..." Pit twitched in pain as he got up.

"Well then," Crystal Puff floated towards Pit and looked down to him. "It ends here, forever."

"Oh, no!" Mario yelled from behind as he shot several fireballs that melted the ice and bounced all the way to the ice cloud, who twitched once the fireballs reached him.

"S-stupid plumber!" Crystal Puff yelled as he turned to Mario and made a big iceball that he tossed to him.

Mario quickly pulled out his cape and reflected back the attack, which hit Crystal King and pushed him out from Huff N. Puff.

"..." Geno made a bored look. "See? He was standing on top of him after all..."

"S-silence!" Crystal King yelled as he got up and shook his crown. "Huff N. Puff! Take me on top of you!"

"That pretty much gives it away..." Twink said with a bored look.

"W-well, don't underestimate us still!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he reached for Crystal King.

However...

"VROOM!" Jet Kirby came back from down below and used Jet Cracker and sent several aerial shockwaves that pushed Huff N. Puff on Crystal King and crushed the king.

Pit looked behind him where Meta Knight slid above the ice floor and charged a slash attack that made a severe cut on Huff N. Puff, causing the cloud to yell in pain while Crystal King struggled to get out from his partner.

Meanwhile, with Luigi...

"O-oh man..." Luigi looked to Chris. "I-I need to do something to help them...b-but what?"

The green plumber looked for something behind his back and took out a Superspicy Curry.

"..." Luigi looked at the item before looking back at Chris. He took out a spoon from his back and wondered something. "(Maybe this dish can revive people...)"

"STOP!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he spun to make a whirlwind and pushed Jet Kirby and Mario away to pick up the king and put him on his head. "There. We've merged together."

"You just put him above your head!" Twink yelled angrily.

"SHUT UP!" Crystal Puff yelled as he tried to slap the Star Kid away, but Geno pushed him out from the slap and got pushed to the ice floor, where it shattered before the puppet looked weak.

"G-Geno! A-are you alright?!" Twink asked worried.

"B-barely..." Geno muttered as he got up and coughed weakly. "I-I promise they won't do this again..."

Twink made a worried look before looking at Luigi dripping something in Chris's mouth. "Why is Luigi feeding Chris with that dish?"

Geno coughed before looking at them. "I-I don't know...but let's not get distracted and fight those guys..."

"You go," Twink said as he floated to Luigi and Chris. "I'll cheer you so I don't get in your way."

"...Good idea..." Geno nodded before he adjusted his right hand and ran towards the 2 villains.

"Hey," Twink called as he reached Luigi. "What are you doing with that?"

"I-I thought if I feed him with this curry, something good could happen..." Luigi said as he continued to put more and more curry inside Chris's mouth. "B-but nothing happens..."

Twink rolled his eyes and took the plate off from Luigi's hands. "You're doint it wrong," the Star Kid said before he floated over Chris's mouth...and dripped all the food inside without missing a small bit. "This is HOW you need to do it!"

Luigi gasped in shock after the Superspicy Curry's plate got empty after Twink tossed the plate away. "W-what did you just do?!" Luigi asked as he grabbed his hat.

"Duh, I fed him everything," Twink said. "At your pace you wouldn't finish soone-" the Star Kid looked down where steam began to come out from Chris's mouth (and even nostrils). "...Uh-oh, I guess I went too far..."

Luigi saw Chris's face turning bright red and he took several steps back. "I-I think we should step back for no-"

Then the flames of hell came out from the World Traveler's mouth as he opened his shocked eyes and quickly got up, shooting fireballs from his mouth.

"WATER! WATER! WAAAAAATEEEEEEEER!!!" Chris pleaded as he grabbed his throat and ran around, making Twink fly higher up to evade the fireballs. "WATER! WATER! PEPSI! SODA POP! MUSHROOM SHAKE! ANYTHING! WATER!!!" he yelled loudly before he ran towards the other Smashers, melting all the ice on the floor on his way.

"The Superspicy Curry acted like some sort of reviving item, b-but it caused this like how it should be!" Kawashima yelled as he explained.

"W-what?!" Crystal Puff said after he saw the World Traveler rushing at him. "I thought we got rid of yo-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

"W-what's happening now?" Parakarry asked confused as Chris remained close to Crystal Puff, where he shot a stream of fireballs from his mouth without even doing it on purpose.

"G-GET YOUR FREAKING FIREBALLS OFF ME!" Huff N. Puff yelled as he blocked his face from the fireballs, only to get his hands burned constantly. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OWW!!!" Chris yelled in pain as every fireball was shooting out from himself, though he took advantage of this and tried to attack both villains using the mentioned effect as much as he could.

He motioned to the others to attack the villains.

"T-they're stunned, we must attack!" Pit yelled as the 7 Smashers ran to Crystal Puff and began attacking them (confusing again) from all the sides.

"OOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Roy slammed a fully charged Flare Blade, creating an explosion of fire that damaged the "merged" characters greatly. The swordsman latet twitched and dropped on his left knee.

"S-STOP IT!" Crystal King yelled before several fireballs were shot at him.

"VROOM!" Jet Kirby used another Jet Cracker to send several aerial shockwaves, causing the king to be pushed off from Huff N. Puff again.

"H-healing!" Crystal King yelled as he used magic to recover 20 percent of their injuries, seeing after the fireball died down. "F-finally..."

Chris stuck his tongue out with jaw hanging down a little as he used his hand as a fan. "I-I'm back...i-in a painful way..."

Huff N. Puff went to him and raised his hands above. "N-now, it's time for me to crush you down!"

Chris gulped and took out another Superspicy Curry, which made the cloud gasp in shock, waving his hands in preoccupation.

"N-no...p-p-put that dish down...a-a-and I won't hurt you..." Huff N. Puff muttered, moving his hands down a little to the floor.

Chris sniffed...and put the dish down on the floor.

Huff N. Puff sighed in relief, wiping out the sweat from hi-

Oh wait, Chris took the dish and ate it after all.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Huff N. Puff yelled in pain after many fireballs were shot at him. The cloud tried to get away from the World Traveler, who apparently was running behind him to stop the extreme heat from coming out.

"S-stay back and away from me!" Crystal King yelled as the 2 were getting closer to him.

Both the cloud and World Traveler turned to another way and Crystal sighed.

"I hope you like this. OOOOOOAAAAAAHH!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Crystal King was pushed to the air after a sudden explosion from Roy's Flare Blade. The swordsman was now panting heavily after draining many of his energy.

"W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-WATER!!!" Chris pleaded as he kept running behind a panicked Huff N. Puff.

"Closer..." Mario muttered as the cloud didn't bother to open his eyes to see the red plumber jumping straight to him. Mario used a fast Mario Tornado (despite his move being replaced) and extended both fists to push Huff N. Puff above.

"Attack pattern!" Parakarry yelled as he hid inside his shell and began slamming himself to the cloud several times at insane speeds, using Air Raid before flipping back and finishing his move.

"S-Star Rain..." Mallow muttered as he called forth a huge Starman that bounced several times (6) on Huff N. Puff before it bounced away and disappeared.

"Yiah!" Pit, who was charging up his attack, dealt 2 strong slashes just in front of Huff N. Puff's face, causing the cloud to yell loudly in pain as he ran around frantically from the World Traveler's fireballs.

"AAAAAAAAAAA...huh?" Huff N. Puff looked around confused once the fireballs stopped from coming behind him. After he looked behind him, he lowered his hands in pain as he panted. "N-no fair...you kept firing those fireballs at me...a-and they're my new weakness because of my new ice powers!"

Chris (using his magic hat as a fan to his mouth) made a weak expression. "W-w-w-well, t-t-t-try to eat 2 Superspicy curries in a row and see how bad it is..."

"Good to have you back..." Geno said with some coughs.

Chris stopped using his magic as a fan and put it back on his head, where his face got covered in pure darkness. "P-please, if I ever eat t-those dishes again...stop me...and I mean it..."

Geno sweatdropped. "It was your fault you got into that."

"Yes, bu-"

"SILENCE!" Crystal King yelled as he shot an ice bolt from his sleeves. Geno gasped and quickly tackled Chris out of the way, evading the attack. "GRRR! THAT IMBECILE! WHY IS HE BACK?!"

Chris looked to the king from the floor with a glare. "B-because an idiot froze me and kept me from fighting!"

"That was SUPPOSED to be the idea!"

"Well..." Chris got up and made his staff glow. "I-"

"Chris, Star Spirits, use them, now." Geno reminded Chris.

"...Oops," Chris stopped his staff from glowing and prayed to the skies. "Klevar, show me your dexterity and lend me your aid..."
Klevar appeared besides him with a happy expression. "Ah, addressing me in such a manner. I'm here and what are your orders?"

"Stop the time for those 2!" Chris said as he pointed at Crystal King and Huff N. Puff.

"If...it isn't the same stupid Star Spirit I was guarding a long time ago..." Huff N. Puff said panting.

Klevar glared at him (without opening his eyes). "Hmph, I wanted to teach you a lesson myself. Clocks of time," he called forth several clocks that surrounded the field.

"We can't be stopped, remember! Trying this is futile!" Huff N. Puff raised his hands. "Now, it's time t-"

"Stop."

The clocks stopped and the time for both villains stopped all of a sudden. The background even got dark.

"I like when I add my variations of words to others," Klevar chuckled and looked at Chris. "Please, try to use us more."

Chris blushed embarrassed. "I-I will."

"You have enough Star Power. Keep fighting! We want Kalmar back to us!" Klevar said before he spun and disappeared.

"GIVE EVERYTHING YOU GOT ON THEM!!!" Mallow yelled loudly as the 10 characters (with Luigi deciding to join the fight) started to attack the stopped villains.

"Burn to black ashes..." Chris chanted.

Roy stood behind Huff N. Puff, charging his Flare Blade.

"...W-wait!" Chris interrupted before he prayed to the skies. "Misstar, please, show us your cuteness and appear!"

Misstar appeared with some giggled, just besides the World Traveler. "Did you call me?" Misstar asked.

"I want you to heal Roy. He's exhausted if you look at him." Chris said as he pointed at the red-haired swordsman, who blinked confused (after he stopped his charge) as the Star Spirit floated close to him.

Misstar closed her eyes and gave Roy a light kiss on his cheek. The swordsman blushed embarrassed before his wounds glowed for a moment and healed by 75 percent.

"W-why can you raise your hands and shoot magic to me instead?" Roy asked.

"Because I like to kiss, and to men like you." Misstar said simply with a giggle.

Roy backed away from her before she spun and disappeared in a blink.

"Burn to black ashes..." Chris chanted.

"O-oh," Roy shook his head. "I almost forgot..." he began to charge his Flare Blade to deal a powerful blow from behind.

A blink in the sky appeared. The blink got bigger before it revealed to be Parakarry (carrying Pit from below), diving at a high speed to Huff N. Puff. "AIR FORCE DELTA ATTACK!!!" Parakarry yelled.

"We didn't give this combination a name!" Pit yelled.

"SHUT UP AND LET ME GET EXCITED!" Parakarry yelled angrily. Pit sighed with a frown and took out his blades to stab them hard on the cloud.

Geno took a step back and charged his beam with a cough. "Let me take part of this...as well..."

Chris nodded as he was about to finish his spell.

Then...

"FIRA!"

"OOOAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"AIR FORCE DELTA ATTACK!!!"

Pit frowned as he stabbed the cloud with a strong impact.

"GENO...BEAM!!!"

The 4 attacks combined and a big explosion of fire occurred on the field. Smoke flew everywhere, making the 5 cough uncontrollably before it cleared out.

"...Damn! He's still alive!" Roy cursed.

"Er, no," Kawashima began. "The time stopped so once he gets his time back, he'll faint if he was damaged so badly."

Geno sighed and looked at the stopped Crystal King being ganged up by Mario, Luigi, Jet Kirby, Meta Knight and Mallow. "We must help them...now."

"...Wait, hold on," Chris stopped Geno from advancing and prayed to the skies. "Eldstar, please come and..."

Eldstar appeared and looked at Chris. "And?" he repeated.

"...S-sorry, I couldn't think of anything."

"Over Limit ready!" Kawashima announced. "Use it when the right time comes, you got that?"

"Y-yes." Chris said with a nod.

Mario used several fireballs on Crystal King before he rushed at him and used a sliding kick to push the king a little to the air, where he got stopped and remained in midair.

"SHOCKER!" Mallow called out a big bolt of lightning that fell down on the stopped king of ice, pushing him back to the floor.

"Die! D-die, please! D-die!" Luigi pleaded as he used the tip of his hands to stab the king several times, albeit slowly...so slowly.

Meta Knight simply stood below the king, slashing the air continuously and his enemy as well before Jet Kirby grabbed the king and used Jet Blow to push him even higher to the air. "VROOM!" Jet Kirby exclaimed happily.

"Ha!" Meta Knight used Shuttle Loop to deal a strong slash upwards as he flew in a circular motion and stabbed his sword behind the king's robe, landing on the floor with a grunt.

The time seemed to return back to normal and an extreme yell of pain came from behind them.

Huff N. Puff blocked his face and yelled loudly.

"W-why?!" Huff N. Puff asked. "W-why do I have to be defeated this way?! Y-you're all a bunch of cheaters! Y-yes! That's what you are!"

"You know what..." Chris made his staff glow as his yellow eyes made a glare. "I'm very sick of this climate that I'm to stop..."

The World Traveler looked over at Geno.

"...Go ahead." Geno said with a nod.

"I'm going to stop it, once and for all!" Chris yelled.

Parakarry crossed his arms. "No fair! I wanted to be the one to say it!"

The World Traveler looked at Parakarry and blushed embarrassed. "O-oops," the glow on the staff disappeared. "W-why don't you deal the finishing blow the-"

A fast ice bolt was shot to him and froze him totally.

Twink looked back where Crystal King was. "O-oh no!"

"That is...ENOUGH!" Crystal King yelled furiously. "I'm on my nerves because...this is just...useless! Worthless! And useless all over again!"

"..." Parakarry rolled his eyes and used a fast Shell Shot on Huff N. Puff.

"...AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Huff N. Puff yelled in pure agony before he exploded several times (into many Ice Puffs) and vanished from the place.

A big tremble occurred on the clouds. Jet Kirby peered down where the clouds seemed to move up and down. "Vroom, the clouds are moving."

"U-ugh..." Crystal King shook his head. "Now that...Huff N. Puff is gone...I won't be able to control the weather all along by myself..."

"...Lucky!" Twink said as he floated to where Huff N. Puff was and took out a card from the cloudy floor. "I-I've got it! Geno!"

Geno looked at Twink as his eyes widened. "T-that's...Kalmar's card...isn't it?"

"W-what?!" Crystal King looked around his robe. "D-dangit! I put the card inside Huff N. Puff but I forgot to grab it back!"

"Then...we're leaving?" Mario asked.

"YOU WON'T!" Crystal King yelled as made an ice ball and tossed it at Chris, who got free from the ice and fell down on the floor, defeated.

"H-hey! That's not fair!" Jet Kirby pouted. "He was already defeated once, vroom!"

"Kirby," Meta Knight began. "We're dealing with a villain. Such a thing like this is expected."

Crystal King panted heavily. "I'm...I'm going to...kill you all...even if it is me alone...I'm going to...kill you all!!!"

The king of ice began to cast ice bolts down from the sky, raining around crazily as the Smashers gasped and tried to evade the ice bolts.

"N-no!" Twink yelled once an ice bolt fell on the defeated World Traveler and froze him. "B-but why did he lose this fast?"

Geno was running around from them as he dodged some ice bolts. "Because he forgot to...heal himself early. If he...recovered earlier, then this wouldn't have happened at all."

"Freeze...everything...freeze...everyone...freeze...THEM!!!" Crystal King yelled loudly before laughing evilly and maniacally to the sky, while many ice bolts fell around the cloud.

"UAH!" Luigi yelled as an ice bolt crashed down on him and froze him completely.

"What are you waiting for?!" Kawashima yelled from Chris's frozen pocket. "Use your Final Smash on him! He won't resist for much longer!"

Parakarry was flying around as fast as he could and glared down at the king. "U-ugh! I knew bosses are supposed to reach madness, but i never thought you woul-" he stopped once an ice bolt froze him, making him crash down on the floor where he got free, albeit he received more damage after that. "...Darn..." Parakarry muttered.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Crystal King laughed maniacally. "Nobody shall leave alive from here! I WILL rule everything! I WILL rule the peasants! I WILL rule every single place and then freeze everyone into their oblivion!"

"(I have to...stop him...)" Mario thought as he hopped up a little with a fist to the air. "Let's-a go!" Mario yelled as a rainbow aura covered him, his eyes turning yellow with the power of the Final Smash as he tried to get closer to the king.

"BEGONE!" Crystal King yelled as he fired an ice bolt from his sleeves and froze the plumber with the Final Smash.

"M-Mario!" Mallow yelled. "C-come on, I need to have something here to help him..." Mallow tried to look for something behind his back...then he took out a Hothead. "...What was this doing with me?"

"Ahem." Kawashima coughed to remind Mallow. Then, a bolt of ice fell on Chris's pocket and froze the DS even more.

"Oh..." Mallow thought for a moment (while the ice bolts seemed to fail in hitting him). "Hmm..."

"W-would you just throw that thing somewhere and see what happens?!" Roy yelled before an ice bolt froze him.

"Q-quick!" Pit yelled as he rolled backwards from 2 ice bolts. "If he freezes us, it's over!"

"H-hey! Ice dude!" Mallow yelled as he held up the Hothead. "Hope you melt your crown this time!"

Crystal King stopped laughing and glanced to Mallow with a cold glare. "Fool! My crown neve-"

"HA!" Mallow tossed the Hothead at high speed to the ice king, who gasped before he got hit and pushed back to the floor, stopping the rampage of ice bolts while the item started rolling around, melting the ice patches that the ice bolts left behind.

"...Good idea..." Meta Knight said as he panted. "The item's temperature is...enough to melt the ice..." he saw the item running above Luigi, who was able to shake the ice off after the item went over him. "And it's enough to defrost anyone on its path..."

Parakarry used his hands to look up and see the king laying down on the floor. "T-this is my chance!" Parakarry yelled with a twitch before he flapped his wings to pull himself up to the air. "Boots to the head!" Parakarry yelled as he pulled himself back before he extended his feet to the king's face (of mist) and descended.

"He doesn't have..." Meta Knight was interrupted as Parakarry's attack made the king yell in pain. "...I hate when physics aren't applied here..."

Mario, once the Hothead rolled over him, was set free and shook his head. "P-phew...I was about to get a cold in there...maybe..."

"Should I suggest...your Final Smash?" Pit asked as Crystal King got up and raised his sleeves to call forth more ice bolts. "That trick is already ol-"

"HA!" Crystal King lowered his sleeves down and he froze the cloud entirely. "Please, PLEASE! DIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!"

"Geez..." Mallow muttered with a frown. "Everyone out there wants us dead..."

"Typical..." Geno muttered as he tried to move. "...Great, he froze our feet."

Mallow looked behind where the Hothead vanished. "And our source to melt the ice disappeared...just great..."

"Then," Pit took out his bow. "I'll use long-range attacks."

The angel began to shoot several arrows at the ice king, who then made an ice wall to protect himself from the attacks.

"Darn it!" Pit cursed.

"Bow time." Mallow raised a finger.

Pit gasped and began to pray to Palutena.

"Do it ANOTHER time, will you?!" Geno asked angrily.

"Multiply!" Crystal King yelled as he made several copies of himself and stood next to the middle one. "Heheheheh, let's see if you peasants can guess the real one."

"The middle one, vroom?" Jet Kirby guessed.

"No!" Crystal King yelled. "The left one! Darn it, why can't you be more intelligent than-"

"..." the Smashers blinked with bored looks.

"...Like, you got screwed yourself," the middle copy said.

"S-shut up! You're not allowed to talk!" Crystal King yelled angrily.

"T-time for me to save the day...with a cool move! Haiyah!" Luigi, in an effort to make a cool move...shot a green fireball to the real king and made the others disappear once the attack made the ice king yell a little. "Yes!"

"Wow," Roy rolled his eyes. "That was...so cool..."

"I know!" Luigi said with a happy expression before he blinked confused. "...W-wait a minute, were yo-"

Meta Knight interrupted once Crystal King...seemed to disappear. "Wait, our enemy is gone."

Music stops

"Vroom?" Jet Kirby tilted his head. "I thought he was over there a moment ago, vroom."

"W-well..." Parakarry flew to Pit. "I saw him hiding inside the cloud we're on..."

"...Tell me something." Pit began.

"What?"

"You're the only one flying...and who has his feet free from the floor..." Pit's eyes made a bored look.

"..." Parakarry looked away.

"...So tell me...WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING?!"

"Pit, calm down," Mario began. "Parakarry sometimes gets distracted so is not his fault."

"Aw, please!" Mallow groaned. "It was his fault tha-"

"Huh?" Meta Knight saw a small part of the cloud, behind Luigi, that was sprouting out mist. "Behind you!"

"Wha-" Luigi tried to turn around but a sleeve reached to his throat and pulled him on the ice floor, where he gasped and screamed when Crystal King appeared with an ice blade coming out from his right sleeve. Mostly everyone gasped at this and tried to move.

"D-don't you dare to move!" Crystal King yelled as he held close to ice blade above Luigi's throat, freezing his hands and legs from moving. "One move...and this maggot...is done for..."

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!!!" Luigi let out a girly scream.

"Man, pull yourself together...and be a man!" Parakarry said.

"SHUT UP!" Crystal King yelled. "I-I've had enough...of this crap...and you..."

"So do I," Meta Knight spoke. "There is no other option, sadly."

"Yes...indeed..." Crystal King glared down at Luigi. "Who knew with one person as a hostage...was very helpful?"

"Leave Luigi alone!" Mario yelled.

"In heaven? Or hell? Oh, right, this is Heaven's Paradise," the king chuckled. "He's already in heaven...so I'm bringing him down to hell where he belongs..."

"Aaaaaah..." Luigi fainted.

"...Hey, wait a second, vroom," Jet Kirby interrupted. "You can use ice blades?"

"Yes, so?" Crystal King asked.

"And you can multiply yourself into 3 copies, right?"

"Yes..."

"And you can also cause a rampage of ice bolts, right?"

"Yes... Why do you ask all those meaningless things?" Crystal King asked with rage on the tone of his voice.

"...Why didn't you use that a lot time ago when the fight firstly started?"

"Because I-" the king made a shocked expression. "...I...I..."

Roy facepalmed. "So basically...you had all the power to beat us from the beginning...but you forgot about them..."

"...A-apparently so..." Crystal King responded.

Luigi opened his right eye and looked at the king, sniffing silently.

"W-why?" Crystal King asked before he broke into tears. "W-why nothing I think of works like the way I want?! WHY?!" Crystal King asked as he withdrew the ice blade back into his sleeve and fell back with open arms (sleeves) on the floor.

Luigi sat up before getting up, walking slowly over to Mario, where he hid behind his glowing brother.

"T-this isn't fair! NO! THIS ISN'T FA-A-A-AIR!!!" Crystal King began to hit the floor with the end of his sleeves. "I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING IN LIFE, B-BUT I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT! I...I HATE MY LIFE! I HATE IT SO MUCH! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"Ugh," Meta Knight frowned as he took his feet out from the ice floor by using 3 slashes around them. "Mario, finish him."

"B-but..." Mario looked at him.

"...It's for the best..." Roy scratched his right arm. "If he hates life so much...then it'd be the right thing to kill him now..."

"Vroom..." Jet Kirby looked down sadly. "I-I'm so...but so sorry for him...vroom..."

Geno closed his eyes and shook his head. "Why do some of them have to act like this before dying before us?"

"The Axem Rangers did the same, right?" Mallow asked.

"Yes..." Twink nodded. "Kind of feels bad when they do this..."

"The Mizzo thing repeats itself again..." Parakarry frowned. "But, I'm not complaining. Finish him off so the weather returns to good ol' spring, Mario."

Mario looked at Crystal King before he opened his hands and pulled them back. "...Forgive us..." Mario muttered before he made a glare and his hands glowed with fire power. "Oh-yeah. UUUU-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

A huge stream of fire began to spread out to all directions with huge fireballs circling with an extreme heat. Crystal King stopped flailing his sleeves on the floor before he sat up and screamed.

"N-NO!" Crystal King yelled as he blocked his face with his sleeve (if he had a face). "NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOO!!!"

Then the stream got him and pushed him along the air, off from the cloud he was once in as the fire continued to push him out to the sky.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!" Crystal King screamed in extreme pain before the fire began to burn his crown and everything he wore (even his eyes) before nothing was left, causing the stream of flying fireballs to seize and disappear.

"..." Parakarry's jaw dropped. "...What a way to finish a guy..."

Mario panted a little. "...Wow...so that's a Final Smash..."

"Amazing power, isn't?" Roy asked. "I want to use it again in the future."

"...This means..." Parakarry looked at them with a happy smile. "The weather is no more! It's gone! It's leaving! It's disappearing! It's vanishing! We did it and I landed the finishing blow on the cloud monster...like I did again! Oh my gosh, this is a dream coming true to me!" he tossed several letters out from his bag. "Hurray!"

"Don't you need those though?" Mallow asked.

"...Crap!" Parakarry cursed as he began to pick up the letters from the floor.

Luigi peered down and he saw the enormous cloud trembling violently before it began to move up and down, separating and creating holes. "Y-yes! Look!"

The Smashers walked to the edge of the cloud and saw the event happening, far away from their feet. "...I'm glad this is over as well." Meta Knight said.

The cloud that they were on began to shake as they felt the floor softer and softer.

"...Uh-oh..." Roy said. "...S-since this tower was made up by them, along with the weather and the cloud far below..."

"...Everything they made is disappearing." Geno finished.

"..." Luigi gulped. "...T-that means..."

"THIS PLACE IS GOING TO MAKE US FALL AT THIS HEIGHT!" Mallow yelled out loudly before the cloud began to vanish, along with the 50 clouds and the staircases they climbed.

"OH NO!" Luigi yelled as they all began to fall down at the huge height they were.

Pit, Meta Knight, Twink, Jet Kirby (using jetpack) and Parakarry, however, were descending slowly since most of them had wings.

"...Vroom..." Jet Kirby looked down. "W-what is going to happen to Mario, Luigi, Roy, Mallow and Geno?!"

"Relax," Meta Knight said. "We have 2 people waiting for them."

Meanwhile with the other 5...

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!" Luigi yelled in terror.

2 clouds descended close to them and they all looked at the 2 Lakitus (Lakilester and Lakilulu) laughing together.

"W-what is so funny?!" Mallow asked.

"W-well, we played a game and loser had to make or suffer something," Lakilester said as he was shown with his face covered with kisses. "B-but let's say I lost so many times and I had to be kissed wildly. Man, that was...awesome!"

"Teeheehee." Lakilulu giggled while she blushed a little.

"Aw, romance," Mallow made a happy expression before making it a glare. "HELP US, WILL YOU?!"

Lakilester rolled his eyes. "Hmm, fine. Alright, alright," he touched Lakilulu's cloud with his own cloud to extend it and floated down faster to get everyone on it. "Everyone, board the Lakitu Express."

"Baby, nice to meet you around these skies again." Lakilester's cloud said with hearts as eyes to Lakilulu's cloud, who giggled with some blushes.

"Phew..." Roy (ignoring the clouds) wiped the sweat out as the flight members descended and landed on the cloud. "I thought we were going to fall down."

"So!" Lakilulu spoke. "You defeated the 2 of those baddies?"

"We sure as hell did!" Parakarry said happily. "Finally, I can deliver mail like I was supposed to!"

"B-but isn't Nintendo City without anyone and...shielded with a barrier so you can't deliver?"

"Rude," Parakarry glared at him. "There are more than one city outside the biggest one, remember?"

"Oh," Mario nodded. "Yes. There are other cities out there. Unique like Nintendo City."

"...U-um..." Pit looked around the cloud. "...G-guys?"

"Yes?" Geno looked at him.

"...A-are we all here?"

The Smashers and the Lakitus looked around the cloud. "Yeah," Lakilester said. "Why'd you ask?"

"Because I swear we're missing someone here..." Pit wondered.

"..." Jet Kirby's eyes widened in horror. "CHRIS!!! VROOM!!!"

Roy looked down below and found a small spot going down at a high speed. "D-darn! He's falling down faster!"

"I-I almost forgot," Twink began. "He got frozen but he didn't get out from that!"

"That is bad..." Meta Knight shook his head. "Since he got frozen, he gained a little more weight."

"We have to get him before he dies!" Pit yelled as he jumped off from the cloud.

"C-can we catch up with him?" Jet Kirby asked worried.

"It's better to try rather than not doing it," Meta Knight looked away. "However, I fear the worse will most likely happen if we don't hurry."

"GO!" Parakarry yelled worried before the flight members jumped off from the cloud and dove down as fast as they could.

"Sorry," Lakilulu shook her head. "We can't go down faster."

"Meaning you have to wish for the best." Lakilester added.

"...Twink." Geno began.

"Yes?"

"Do you have it?"

"...Oh," Twink took out Kalmar's card. "Here."

Geno took the card and stared at it. "...Very soon...this will..."

Mallow made a worried face and looked down sadly.

Smash Mansion
Outside

Chris already crossed the clouds after they dispersed. The flight members passed the clouds 5 seconds later and dove down as fast as they could to catch up with the falling frozen World Traveler.

"HURRY!" Pit yelled as he pulled back his arms behind. "IF THE ICE IMPACTS, HE WON'T SURVIVE!"

"VROOM!" Jet Kirby used a fully charged Jet Dash to go down faster but he lost speed and made a worried look. "I can't go down faster!"

Meta Knight narrowed his eyes and extended his wings on his back to increase the speed, but he couldn't reach him. "Darn it..."

Parakarry tried to go down faster, but he was the only one going at a much slower speed. "I can just fly high but not descend that fast! If I had someone like the angel then I could!"

"I'm PIT!" Pit yelled annoyed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Jet Kirby yelled loudly.

The other 3 looked down and gasped when the World Traveler was 30-feet away from the ground.

Jet Kirby blocked his eyes, Pit closed his eyes with a grunt, Parakarry pulled his helmet to his eyes and prevent seeing the crash and Meta Knight kept looking forward, but with a grunt of shame.

"..." Meta Knight found a fast spot moving through the ice field, going towards the World Traveler. "...I wonder who is that..."

"Huh?" the trio opened (raised his helmet in Parakarry's case) their eyes and saw a fast spot jumping towards the World Traveler.

Close to where the ground was, a figure quickly jumped high up to catch Chris in the air. The person then landed back on the ice field and looked down at the frozen character with a weak expression.

"...Be glad I was worried..." the figure spoke before it raised a blue glowing hand, placing it on the ice to shatter it with a small push, setting Chris free from it. "...Wake up... Please, wake up..."

"...H-hmm...ugh..." Chris shook his head as he wiped something from his yellow eyes. "...I-I'm...living?"

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - Air Harmony

Suddenly, something licked his face.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Chris laughed. "T-there's only one person who does that without feeling embarrassed of himself!"

The figure blushed and looked away. "W-why do you have to say it like that? Now I do feel embarrased this time..."

Chris slowly opened his yellow eyes and looked at the person holding him on its arms. "Lucario!"

The Aura Pokémon smiled and looked down at Chris without turning his face to him. "W-welcome back."

The World Traveler was put down safely on the snow before he stood up and took off his hat, the darkness disappearing from his face. "L-Lucario! W-what happened? H-how did I end up here?"

"You were falling from the sky," Lucario explained. "I was meditating close to where you went to the sky."

"F-falling?" Chris asked before he looked up and then looked at Lucario. "And how did you..."

"Your aura," Lucario began. "It alerted me."

"...Yes..." Chris looked down with a worried look. "You said before my aura alerts you if I'm in trouble..."

"That is a good thing, isn't?" Lucario asked.

Chris looked at him and smiled. Then, the World Traveler hugged his Pokémon by the shoulders, closing his eyes. "But of course! You're like my guardian angel, you know that?"

Lucario smiled a little. "If you are in trouble, you know what I'll do."

"Save me from danger, no matter what." Chris added.

Lucario nodded and looked up to the sky. "Everyone is here."

The World Traveler opened his eyes and looked at the flight members landing in front of them. Several seconds later, the others came back as well and the Lakitus separated their lover clouds.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Lakilester's cloud yelled.

"Oh, you shut up! There are plenty of moments for that later anyway!" Lakilester said before sighing in relief. "Heh, whaddaya know? Mario, everyone, you did it!"

Lakilulu pointed at the sky. "The clouds are disappearing. Look!"

Everyone looked at the sky where the clouds were, indeed, disappearing, stopping the snow that was falling down.

"Good thing you were close," Geno said to Lucario. "To think we almost lose Chris."

Chris looked down in shame. "I'm so sorry for getting knocked out twice in battle..."

"You got knocked out?" Lucario asked. "So that is why you were frozen."

"I'm afraid so..." Chris said before he looked at Lucario and smiled a little to him. "And, since you tend to do this to save me from the "suicide moments" or like I like to call them, I should take you more with me so I can be safe."

"Thank you for understanding." Lucario said with a small smile.

"...Hey..." Chris narrowed his eyes. "Did I just say I was weak alone?"

Many of them chuckled as the World Traveler looked at them annoyed.

"Y-you guys are unbelievable!" Chris yelled annoyed.

Back where the Smash Mansion was...

Popo and Nana were playing a snowball fight between the 2 of them, throwing snowballs from forts they made as they laughed. The Ice Climbers then looked up where the snow stopped from falling and the clouds slowly disappearing as well. Light shone down the multiple holes from the sky.

Both of them looked at each other and gathered air inside their mouths...

"Awwwww!!!" they groaned out loud in annoyance.

Behind the mansion...

"Hmm?" Raven looked up were light began to come out from the clouds. "...So, weather's goin' away."

Toon Link stopped firing arrows and looked up. "...Hey, I saw them going up so...they did it!"

"What?" Raven asked confused.

"Er...nothing..." Toon Link shook his head. "Hey, watch this! I can do it!"

"Really?" Raven raised an eyebrow.

The small swordsman shot an arrow to the trees, which bounced the arrow around.

Raven grinned a little bit. "Seems you learned the trick... Oh no..." his eyes widened.

"What?" Toon Link asked confused.

"W-where did you shoot the arrow again?"

Toon Link pointed at the tree he used the arrow on. "That one on that parth of the bark, why?"

The arrow came back and hit Raven's crotch.

Back with the Smashers...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

A familiar yell was heard echoing and they looked around.

"What the heck was that just now?" Lakilester asked.

Mallow shrugged. "Do we want to know?"

A bag of coins fell down and Chris picked it up. "...2100 Smash Coins."

"The way those coins appear out of nowhere bothers me..." Lucario commented with a worried look.

"But," Chris kept it. "See the bright side."

"Which one?"

"I get rich quickly...then I get poor quickly..." Chris looked down. "...My life sucks here rather than my other life in my own world, right?"

"Totally," Roy said before he was blasted away by a big Aura Sphere. "Oh, come on! You're not crushing my ribs again!" he yelled from afar.

"Grr..." Lucario grunted, showing his fangs.

"...Then again," Chris chuckled. "This one is much better and interesting."

"Amen." Mario, Pit, Mallow, Geno, Twink, Jet Kirby, Parakarry, Lakilester and Lakilulu said in unison.

"Oh," Jet Kirby tilted his head. "Wasn't there someone who wished for this weather to disappear as soon as possible in the mansion, vroom?"

Falco's Room

The windows to Falco's room opened and the pilot looked outside with crossed arms. Falco looked up where the light began to touch the ground and everything in sight.

With a sigh of relief, the avian grinned and said "About darn time for the sun to kick in."

Crystal King at the end seemed similar to Zant, but more sane.

I think he should come back, you know, later.

Also,as constructive criticism, you need to stop all the Deus Ex Machina, its making the fights less fun to read.

What the hell is that?

Chapter 123: Afternoon of Warnings, Preparations and New Challenges

Smash Mansion
Main Lobby

On the small sofa located in the lobby, there was Snake lighting a cigar to smoke it. The special undercover agent shot a stream of smoke out of his mouth as he glanced down at his can of soda on the nearby table.

It made a small drop jump out, and to the mat.

"..." Snake raised an eyebrow before he felt a tremble coming from above. "...Now what the hell is happening here..." he said with a bored tone.

"S-STAY BACK!" Master Hand's voice was heard as several explosions were heard from where Snake was. "D-DAMMIT! STOP IT! STAY BACK! CRAZY!"

"Doing my best over here! Oww!" Crazy Hand yelled in pain.

"C-close them before they get out and beat the crap out of our gloves!"

"Right-o!" Crazy Hand yelled as the sounds of doors closing were heard. "Wow, that was such an awesom-"

"Shut up! Don't you dare say anything else! I almost lose a finger because of that levitating-cape guy with the "Dhaos Laser" or whatever the hell he yelled at me!"

"Oops, my bad. Heheheheheh..."

Snake frowned. "Somehow, I think I'm going to regret asking this..."

The elevator (located after climbing the stairs) opened up with smoke coming out. The hands then floated out and coughed. They were all covered in soot as they went to the lobby, where Snake turned his head to face them from the sofa.

"May I ask what is going on now? I'm sure this isn't something we should take part of." Snake said, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh," Master Hand shook himself to wipe out the soot. "Just adding a little floor. You know, some changes here and there."

"I want more details. Why add another floor when the f(beep)ng mansion is already big enough to hold an infantry camp for 5 nations?"

"Never, EVER, curse my mansion," Master Hand warned. "And since you want more details, then you'll have to wait until everyone is here."

"You mean those stages you wanted to show us?"

"Nope," Master Hand shook himself. "It was a request that Link asked me to."

"What would the elf boy ask you to make?" Snake asked.

"Allow me! Please please please!" Crazy Hand started in excitement.

Master Hand grunted and looked at his soot covered brother. "Fine. Start the flashback waves."

Snake rolled his eyes in annoyance as mentioned waves began to move on the screen.

Flashback

Command Room

Several hours before, around the time Chris's group went out and the trainers got inside without anyone seeing them, there were Link (sitting bored on a chair), Master Hand and Crazy Hand (talking between themselves) in the command room. The Hyrulian sighed and looked up to the ceiling.

Link folded his arms. "Man, this is boring..."

"And why is that?" Master Hand asked, appearing from behind Link.

"U-uah! S-stop it! D-don't do that again or I'm going to attack you by accident!" Link yelled as he held his hand close to his heart.

"Well, talking with my brother can cause several brain cells to explode in my brain," Master Hand shrugged as his brother made a thumbs-up from the counter. "And I figured out that talking with a person, normal person, like you could be interesting," he explained. "So, why are you bored?"

"Guess."

"Because you were defeated the last time?"

"No."

"Because you weren't chosen to go with the others and clear out the weather?"

"No."

"Because Zelda isn't for you?"

"NO." Link said with a glare.

"Because Illia dumped you?"

"NO."

"Or how about Saria?"

"NO."

"What about Romani?"

"NO!"

"How about Ruto?"

"NO!"

"And Kafei?"

"HE'S A GUY, YOU IDIOT!"

"Then that means you have an engagement with Zelda, Romani, Ruto, Saria and Ilia at the same time? Wow, you're such the womanizer guy right there."

"W-would you stop talking about the girls I met? I was talking about how easy this is!"

"Oh, right," the hand took out a schedule. "Normally, keeping the Ultimate Chimera in its cage is a daily problem, but not that much ever sin-"

Link grunted. "Let me talk, please. If I let you guess then you won't guess it."

The hand tossed the schedule away. "Fine."

Link put his elbows on his knees and put his chin on his hands. "I was wondering why we don't have difficult battles."

"Difficult battles? But everyone gets almost alive from every encounter with the Subspace Army. I don't see what's wrong with that."

"What I mean is...why isn't there a battle where we are totally screwed?"

"What do you mean by totally screwed?"

"Stupidly hard."

"Like?"

"Oh, like everyone in a group dies in a fight and...I don't know, the fight is over and we lose?"

"Look," Master Hand raised a finger. "The way we work things here is fine. Why do you want to increase the difficulty?"

"Because I want a challenge," Link stood up. "A challenge where we are put into the brinks of death."

Crazy Hand quickly floated behind his brother to listen to the speech.

"A challenge where we are the pushovers and not the other way around, a challenge where we meet the most dangerous enemies that ever took a step on the field of battle, a challenge where we develop the most complicated strategies to defeat our common enemy, a challenge where our current skills can be put at test, a challenge where we can sweat everything out from ourselves, a challenge where we can celebrate for after beating that enemy, a challenge where we can grow stronger out of it," Link said determined. "I want to have something like that here."

"Cruel Brawl," the hands said in unison.

"...A-a little bit less dangerous, that is..."

"Hmm...heheheheheh..." Master Hand chuckled evilly as the room began to get darker. The swordsman put a grip on his sword from his back to stay prepared. "So, you want to have a real challenge where...pretty much all the things you said before?"

"Yes," Link nodded with a glare to the hand. "Amuse me. I want that here and now."

"Mwahahahahahahahaha," Crazy Hand laughed. "You won't get the key in my room for the pigs. I warn you, puny boy, step right ahead to my room."

The room suddenly returned to normal and a record was heard with a scratch.

Master Hand looked at his brother. "Don't ruin the atmosphere like that again! Geez, I want to make a good impression here...or trying to!"

"Oh," Crazy Hand chuckled. "My bad. Go on then."

"Fine," the sane hand said before the room quickly got dark as he stared down at Hero of Twilight. "A challenge is what you will get."

Link made an evilly grin. "Heheheheh, that is going to be interesting."

"Mwahahahahahaha, you shall see true evilness unfold upon you, and everyone you just took with you, too." Master Hand said with an evil snicker.

"Bring it on," Link muttered. "I'm sure they will agree to this."

"NO!" Pichu yelled away from the dark atmosphere, standing in the hallway.

The trio ignored him.

"We shall see..." Master Hand nodded. "We shall see..."

"Yes, we will... Yes, we will..." Link said with slow nods.

"Mwahahahahahaha..." Master Hand laughed.

"Mwahahahahahaha..." Crazy Hand laughed.

"Mwahahahahahaha..." Link laughed.

"Mwahahahahahaha..." the trio laughed evilly.

"Say," Ness came from the hall and watched the trio inside the dark atmosphere that covered the whole room except the hallway. "What are they doing?"

"...Who knows?" Pichu asked before they walked away. "You know how those 3 are."

"True enough."

End of flashback

Main Lobby

"And so," Master Hand began. "We took Link's request into test by using our original minds."

"I heard from the kid's world that some of the guys here are "clones" because of y-"

"ALMOST original minds," Master Hand interrupted with a frown. "By using our ALMOST original minds, we created something to make Link happy."

"Of course," Crazy Hand began. "Something that he will regret for the rest of his life. Mwahahahahah-"

"We're done with the evil laughs, you know. Save those for the Final Destination."

"Oh, okay."

Master Hand turned to Snake. "You guys want to be and get stronger, yeah, that's so overused these days so what? Anyway, I took Link's request into mind and thus I ended up creating a new floor where...ha! I'm not going to tell you until everyone arrives!"

"...Well, at least I expect it to be worthwhile." Snake commented.

"Coughforevercough." Crazy Hand coughed.

Snake rolled his eyes. "Thank you for the spoilers."

Master Hand grunted. "Nothing can seem to escape from his mouth at al-"

The doors to the exit suddenly were opened by a fast slam as the Ice Climbers came out with annoyed looks. "And you HAD to stop the weather." Nana said annoyed as the Smashers that went to the sky came in.

"W-well, excuse me!" Roy yelled. "Those guys wanted to make an ice era in here and roughly everyone but you 2 would disagree with it!"

"That could've been nice!" Popo yelled. "You don't understand what we like, do you?"

"Duh!" Roy frowned. "You 2 live in mountains where the ice really got inside your own minds!"

"Okay," Nana turned to him. "We don't want to hear anything more from you! If you'll excuse us, we're going to plan the domination of all the lands with an eternal winter of our own!"

"...You're not going to do that, right?" Chris asked worried.

"...No..." Nana said. "...Ugh, it couldn't be helped so...well...spring is good, I guess..."

"Yeah," Popo nodded. "At least my TV commercials will be back on."

"Popo, the city's people escaped and nobody is at the TV Station anymore."

Popo's eyes widened in horror. "O-one bad thing after the other!"

Nana facepalmed. "Why do I even bother teaching him..."

"Your cue." Snake said to Master Hand.

"Welcome back," Master Hand said as he went to the Smashers. "I presume all ended well, right? Oh, look at that, the sun is back and the snow is gone."

The Ice Climbers grunted annoyed before walking to the stairs.

"Who are those 2?" Master Hand asked as he looked at the Lakitus.

"Oops," Lakilester began. "I think this is as far as we can get for now."

"Seems that way." Lakilulu said.

The male Lakitu turned to Mario. "Mario, everyone, good luck in saving the city. We need to return to Petal Meadows and live a very happy life there."

"Sweet, sweet, happy life." Lakilulu said as she blushed.

"Aw, you're going?" Mallow asked.

"Don't fear!" Lakilester said. "We'll drop by and visit all of you sometime in a near futur-"

The Lakitu suddenly stopped and Lakilulu looked at him.

"...Uh-oh..." Lakilulu muttered.

"What?" Pit asked.

"He's going to. So, good bye everyone," she smiled at them. "I hope you can save your city, and I'll wish for your success."

"But can you tell us why did Lakilester stop talking all of a sudden, vroom?" Jet Kirby asked.

"I HEARD THAT!" Lakilester yelled as he pointed outside. "WATT, I KNOW YOU SAID MY FAKE NAME! IT'S SPIKE, YOU HEAR ME?! SPIKE!!!" Lakilester yelled before his cloud made an angry expression, pulled itself back and flew away at a high speed to the horizon.

"...But Kirby said Lakilester just now..." Luigi trailed off.

Lakilulu giggled. "He seems to let you call him by his real name. I think he's happy about it, which for me is kind of considerate," she started to float away outside as she waved at them. "And it's time for me to go as well! I need to stop that man before he murders anyone. He gets like this and I get defensive like usual."

"Good bye then." Mario said as he waved his hand at her.

"Oh, thank you! Good luck everyone!" Lakilulu yelled before her cloud pulled back and flew away at a high speed to the same direction where Lakilester went.

"There goes a friend of mine." Mario said with a small smile.

"Let's hope Goombario drops by." Twink said.

"And..." Parakarry looked around his bag and gave several letters to Chris.

Obtained Garnet's Letter!
Obtained Laharl's Letter!
Obtained Kylie Koopa's Letter!
Obtained Soren's Letter!
Obtained Birdo's Letter!
Obtained Wave's Letter!

"6 letters, duly delivered," Parakarry made a happy expression. "A postman's job is never done."

"..." Chris took a big letter. "Why is...Laharl's Letter so heavy and big?"

"I don't go further into other people' mail, I'm afraid!" Parakarry said cheerfully as he flapped his wings faster. "Aw, the good feeling to fly in the blue skies and delivering people their mail, something I wanted to see at last!" the Paratroopa began to fly outside. "Well, this is my cue t-ah, wait!"

The Paratroopa gave Chris a small box with holes around. Something seemed to move slowly on the inside.

"What's this?" Chris asked.

"This girl Kumatora wanted to deliver this to Lucas, so be sure to give it to him when you see the boy," Parakarry said before he continued in his path. "That's all for me for now! I'll be happy to deliver you all the mail you need to get your hands on."

"Where are you going now?" Mario asked.

"To the blue skies where my freedom is located! Although it's practically everywhere, but who cares? I'm back to my job!" Parakarry yelled before he began to fly high up to the sky. "See you so much later! Thanks a lot for getting rid of this weatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...."

His voice began to fade before Jet Kirby closed the doors.

"...I'm going to read the letters later..." Chris said as he kept the letters.

Parakarry has left your team

They all looked to Master Hand.

"Getting help from people is pretty nice and considerate," Master Hand said. "I can't hardly wait to see who else helps us."

"Weren't you going to say anything to them?" Snake asked.

"Oh, right," Master Hand made a megaphone appear. "Everyone in the mansion, please report to the main lobby! We have a special announcement right now so get your FREAKING BUTTS OVER HERE, OVER!"

Snake rolled his eyes. "I presume you tend to yell at them like that."

Master Hand tossed the megaphone away and chuckled. "Well, they won't listen the good way. They're sometimes nice to me but most of the time so rude," he sniffed. "I-I just want more love from them..."

Chris made an apologetic look and patted Master Hand's glove wrist. "There, there. I think you're pretty awesome."

"R-really?" Master Hand asked with a sob.

Chris nodded. "You're hand with magic and no body. What's more impressive than that? They don't know your potential but I know it very well."

Master Hand sniffed and hung his pinky finger above Chris's shoulders. "T-thank you. You're the only one out of all these...Smashers who appreciate me like this."

"Just be glad you're very good to me."

"Yes," Master Hand floated above a little. "Good thing this isn't an altered dimension."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I've had some visions where...well...I get severely punished..." the hand shrugged. "But here, I'm pretty much safer."

Chris looked at Lucario. "What do you think about Master Hand?"

"I...think...he is very good?" Lucario responded.

"...Well, that didn't sound that honestly...but it's a first."

Several seconds passed before a worried Red came from the hallway with Squirtle and Ivysaur following.

"S-so, you guys stopped the weather?" Red asked.

"Yeah," Mallow nodded. "Yes, we did."

"Why are you looking kind of worried though?" Geno asked.

"Heheheheheh...n-nothing to be worried about... Nope! Nothing!" Red said with a nervous chuckle.

Lucario narrowed his eyes at him.

Squirtle gasped. "W-will you believe in him before scanning his mind?"

"No," Lucario shook his head. "I want to see if he isn't hiding somethi-"

"Lucario, stop." Chris ordered.

"B-bu-"

"I told you before you can't go into other people' mind like that because it's rude. Stop now."

"Y-yes..." Lucario closed his eyes embarrassed.

Ivysaur chuckled. "Aw, little blue doggy is getting disciplined?"

"S-shut up..." Lucario muttered.

"(Phew!)" Red sighed in his mind before he made a relieved look.

"Hm-hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!" Falco came from the stairs, extending his fists upwards before putting them inside his pockets. "So, winter is gone and spring is back, huh?"

"Pretty much so," Twink said. "That made you happy, right?"

"100 percent," Falco said with a grin before crossing his arms. "I really missed the times where I was outside the bed the entire day...and not the other way around," he shrugged. "Oh well, at least it's finally over."

"For the winter, yes," Geno said. "For Smithy, very soon."

"The caaaaaaaaaaaard..." Mallow said, moving his hands around.

Geno took out Kalmar's card and looked at Mallow with a bored look. "Would you wait until everyone gets here?"

"Hi!" Sonic said, appearing in a flash. "Did it go well?"

"Why are you..." Roy trailed off as he pointed at Sonic. "...All stomped over?"

There were several foot marks all over the hedgehog. Sonic shrugged. "Some kids stomped on me..."

"Kids?" Master Hand frowned. "The only kids we have here are the younger Smashers."

"I-I'm pretty sure I saw some older ones in here before..."

"(G-gulp...)" Red gulped in his mind. Surely, Sonic didn't mean the trainers, right?

"...Maybe my imagination though." Sonic said, throwing his arms up.

"D-definitely." Red said.

"NO READING MINDS." Chris said to his Pokémon, who was almost going to glow as he looked at Red.

"F-fine..." Lucario said.

Several minutes later...

As Peach walked down the stairs, everyone was already reunited in the lobby, talking with each other. "I hope I don't..." Peach muttered worried but she shook her head once she walked to Mario. "Everything went well, right, Mario?"

"Yes," Mario said with a nod. "The weather is back to normal and we have the last Star Spirit with us."

"Oh, Lucas," Chris walked to Lucas (the PK kid, not the trainer) and gave him the box. "Parakarry told me this is from you."

"Me?" Lucas asked confused before he slowly opened the box, revealing a small containter with several branches inside. "...Huh?"

"Lucas!" a voice shouted from inside the box and a red snake peered from a branch. "Lucas, good to see you again!"

"Rope Snake!" Lucas said with a small smile, opening the cover of the box where Rope Snake got out and jumped to his shoulder.

"H-hey, my name is Snake Rope, not...oh, who cares," the snake frowned. "I'll be Rope Snake for you if you want."

Lucas put the box down. "S-so, how's everyone in Tazmily?"

"Good," Rope Snake nodded. "If you were wondering how did I get here, Kumatora found me in my house and she asked me to go to you. She put me inside that box and she found a weird mailbox where "anything that put inside will be delivered to the person you want to deliver your mail, objects, presents, etc." and that's how I ended up with you here!" the snake smiled. "And goodness, only 1 person! I can only handle your weight all the day!... No more, right?"

"N-no...if situations aren't that hard..." Lucas shifted his eyes.

"...Oh well!" Rope Snake said cheerfully as he embraced Lucas's neck with his tail. "I'll be hanging on you aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the day long."

"U-ugh..." Lucas's face turned purple.

"Whoops," the snake pulled back his tail. "Sorry about that."

"Ahem," Geno coughed to draw everyone's attention to him. "It's time to release the last Star Spirit. Everyone," he turned to them. "Please, start thinking about what will we do next with the Star Spirits."

Geno held the card above him and it began to shine brightly. Everyone watched carefully as the card let out a small light that later turned into glitters and were combined together to form Kalmar, the seventh Star Spirit.

"..." Kalmar looked at the smashers (without even opening his eyes). "The great feeling of freedom is back to me. It's very good to float around like this."

Geno knelt to him. "Kalmar, it's good to see your presence again."

"Geno? So, that is the doll you used to fight with Mario," the star turned to Mario and Peach. "I was rescued by Mario again? Times surely don't change and you had to rescue me again, didn't you?"

"Well," Mario began. "I didn't do it alone."

Kalmar raised an eyebrow and looked at all the Smashers. "Hmm...you must be the special elite of fighters known as Smashers, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"...I don't like to sound rude, but the nickname "Smashers" sounds a little bit...too unusual to me."

"Oh, what do you know?" Master Hand asked annoyed. "Everyone here likes that nickname, right, guys?"

Everyone shook their heads with annoyed looks, mostly everyone.

"..." Master Hand grunted annoyed.

Kalmar flew to Chris, who blinked. "I sense the power of the Star Spirits bestow upon you, is that right?"

"Y-yes, sir," Chris said with a nod. "Eldstar gave me his blessing to hold your abilities."

"Well," Kalmar hopped a little. "You must be the World Traveler, then."

Chris's eyes widened and he nodded once more. "T-that's right, too."

Kalmar chuckled. "I can see how kind and considerate you are just by looking at your face."

"M-my face is hiding in darkness," Chris pointed out. "How can you tell?"

"...Okay, I was lying about that," Kalmar chuckled. "I can't see that clearly or not, but I guess you're kind and considerate, right?"

Chris nodded with some grunts.

"No need to be annoyed!" Kalmar said as he continued chuckling. "Well, before we get dragged away from the main point..." the star held up his hands and several glitters flew to Chris and gave him a new ability. "My power is yours to use now."

Chris has learned Up & Away!

Turns all the enemies in the field into stars to fly them away.

"T-thank you." Chris nodded.

"Now," Kalmar turned to Geno. "All the Star Spirits were gathered, I presume?"

Geno nodded. "That's right. Thanks to everyone here the Star Spirits were rescued."

"Then this calls for a reunion," Kalmar said before he made a snapping sound. "Eldstar, Mamar, Skolar, Muskular, Misstar and Klevar, come to us here!"

The lobby began to be filled with Star Spirits who appeared above the Smashers and flew to the center of the lobby, where Geno, Twink and Kalmar were.

"A-ha!" Muskular spoke with a grin. "Everyone is finally together, like it should be!"

"Yes," Mamar nodded. "It's a good thing to hear."

"Indeed," Skolar said. "Our little "committee" is back."

"Ah," Klevar began. "The mere thought makes a smile on me."

"You're always smiling." Misstar pointed out.

"I'm always happy. What is wrong with that?"

"Stop," Eldstar said. "It's not the time to start a small argument. We have much more important matter to deal with now."

"Smithy." Twink began.

"Correct," Mamar nodded. "We shouldn't let that person do what he wants with Exor trying to destroy the city."

"If we repair the Star Road with Exor and Smithy around, then they could destroy it again." Muskular said.

"That's why we must make haste and defeat Smithy and his gang." Geno said as he stood up.

Eldstar nodded. "Correct," he looked at the Smashers. "Using your help combined will make this easier than we thought."

"But how do you plan us to get through the barrier they set up?" Mallow asked.

Eldstar closed his eyes. "...You can't cross the barrier. Our powers aren't that powerful to break it. Exor's power has been enhanced by Tabuu himself and nothing can go through."

"However," Skolar adjusted his glasses. "You can literally go and walk on the barrier as a big floor."

"But is Exor outside the barrier?" Twink asked.

"The main part of his body is," Misstar pointed out. "His face is out while his entire sword's edge is inside."

"Although there is the problem of how far he is," Marth began. "Since the city is 500km long then Exor would be 250km away from any side of the barrier, because he is on the center."

"Actually," Skolar began. "Exor is not that far away. He's 10km away."

"It's still a little far away." Mallow said.

"Heh," Sonic crossed his arms and grinned. "Let me handle that part."

"Why?" Ness asked. "It's not like we can all run as fast as you."

"Nope," Sonic closed his eyes and shook his head. "You can."

"...You're not making any sense." Pikachu said with a bored look.

"Remember? Didn't Chris buy something to let anyone behind me to run fast?"

"...Oh!" Chris blinked surprised. "Y-yes, I did buy an ability like that before... Wow, Sonic, you're intelligent for once."

Sonic chuckled. "Am I not?"

"No," mostly everyone said.

Sonic's ears lowered a little as he made a bored look. "...Whatever."

"Problem solved," Geno said. "What else should we take in mind?"

"Hmm..." Misstar thought for a moment. "...Ah! When are you going to start this mission?"

"That's right..." Geno wondered for a moment. "We should agree the time to start and also...how many people will go."

"Why can't you help us a bit?" Link asked to Master Hand.

"Me getting out plus Subspace Army equals kidnapped hand," Master Hand explained. "That's why I don't go with you to a world or else is my funeral."

"Oh."

"And as for people..." Master Hand thought for a moment. "...Geno should take half. If they try to send some kind of surprise attack, which they probably won't do after all this time, to the mansion, then having half here would be for the best."

"O-oh, that's right," Chris nodded. "I told Geno that he was going to be in charge of this mission... That makes me a partner rather than the leader."

"You know," Yoshi looked at him. "In some worlds you should be the leader...but not all of them since we know how to get aroun-"

"Disgaea."

"...I didn't go there."

Pit shrugged. "I-I agree with Chris..." the angel said and Yoshi rolled his eyes. "...Then again, he didn't know that much."

Chris blushed embarrassed. "But I remember how well you took my advice that time."

"T-that's becau-"

"Stop!" Master Hand interrupted. "Geno's the leader and that's that!"

"Good!" Eldstar spoke. "Geno would make a good leader for this since he went inside Smithy's dimension before with Mario, Mallow and Peach."

Geno nodded. "I'll be honored to be the leader."

"Show off..." C. Falcon muttered.

"World Traveler," Skolar spoke and Chris looked at her. "We'd like to bestow upon you the Star Beam."

"Star Beam?" Chris asked. "B-but nobody is using the Star Rod."

"Oh, that doesn't matter," Kalmar began. "It's good to get rid of those enemies who use a boost of power with this beam."

"Like Shadow Bugs and the like." Klevar explained.

"E-even Shadow Bugs?" Olimar asked.

"Well, we're not that sure, but it's worth a try." Misstar said.

"How about upgrading it to the Peach Beam?" Twink as he flew to Peach. "I bet her wishes can help."

"I..." Peach looked worried. "...I...well...o-okay..."

Twink made a confused look. "Something's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." Peach shook her head.

"Hmm..." Twink got worried.

"So, then," Eldstar spoke. "World Traveler, stand between all of us here."

"...Okay..." Chris walked to the center of the Star Spirits and Twink flew to the center. Peach walked to them with a concerned look but then joined her hands together as several sparkles flew to the Star Spirits.

"Hmm-hm!" Muskular grinned. "Pure wishes! Alright!"

"Everyone," Misstar began. "Commence!"

All the Star Spirits began to spin around the World Traveler as Twink hopped a little and shot a small light to Chris, which made him shine a little as more and more sparkles touched him and made him glow brighter before they all stopped.

"Phew..." Eldstar wiped out some sweat from his forehead. "Done. You have learned the Peach Beam!"

Chris has learned Peach Beam!

A beam made out of pure wishes and love. Able to remove enemies' buffs permanently and possibly Shadow Bugs.

"How the heck can you do that?" Squirtle asked to Peach.

"The Star Spirits told me that my wishes are the purest wishes of them all and that they make them feel stronger," Peach explained. "I need to be in a fight though..."

"Now," Mamar smiled. "How do you feel?"

"...The same..." Chris said with a normal look.

A record scratched and Muskular made an annoyed look. "Dude! Mario said he felt strong when we gave him that but you can't feel it? What the heck is wrong with you?"

"Please, calm down," Eldstar began. "You musn't be this harsh on the World Traveler."

"Tsk."

Chris sighed. "Thank you for understan-"

"Now what makes you say that after I gave you my blessing?" Eldstar asked with a glare. "For crying out loud, each one of us gave powers to you and you say that you don't feel anything but the same? Mario was nicer than you were!"

"...Never in my life I waited to see Eldstar getting angry..." Geno said a little shocked.

Mario whistled innocently and Chris's jaw dropped, although the Star Spirits ignored the whistles.

"(H-he didn't lie...did he?)" Chris thought shocked.

"Now, now," Mamar said as he pulled Eldstar back (who was panting). "There's absolutely no need to be harsh on him."

"D-don't be harsh on me either." Chris trembled.

Mamar giggled. "I won't. Eldstar is just a little bit grumpy today. Now, Eldstar, breathe and count to 7."

The Star Spirit did and sighed.

"That was good for one's being." Eldstar said.

"When are we starting this, though?" DK asked.

Geno wondered for a moment. "...Let's start this...tomorrow...during the night."

"During the night? Oh, I see. We can sneak through the darkness and to the city from a point." Samus said.

"But Exor could spot us even if it is night," Twink said. "Then we go directly and make a frontal assault?"

"...I think so." Geno said with a nod.

"The Star Road is going to be repaired very soon after Exor and Smithy are no more," Misstar explained. "Wishes sure are pilling up as we speak. I expect you working there, Geno."

"...Yes..." Geno looked down with a frown. "I need to enjoy the time I have left here..."

Mallow patted his back. "I'm sure we're going to...r-right?"

"..." Geno nodded silently.

"Hmm..." Peach made a concerned look.

"Well, then!" Eldstar spoke. "Be sure to be ready for tomorrow, because this isn't going to be very easy at all. Geno, Twink, you 2 make sure to enjoy what is left here before you return to the Star Haven."

"...We will." Geno said.

"World Traveler, Smashers, do everything what you can do to defeat Smithy and his gang. We'll wish for your victory."

The Star Spirits began to shine brightly. "Please, call us when you need us. Let me stop the time when the time comes!" Klevar said before he vanished.

"Make me make some guys weaker!" Muskular said with a grin before he disappeared...but then he reappeared and quickly floated over Sonic. "Aw, pure, pure coolness," the Star Spirit said before he disappeared.

Sonic grinned and closed his eyes, showing off.

"I'll make everyone fall asleep...if I can." Mamar said with a giggle before disappearing.

"If you're injured, please, call me." Misstar said with a wink before she disappeared.

"I'll teach some of them a good lesson with some meteoric stars by me." Skolar said before he disappeared.

"Good old Star Heaven," Kalmar said. "Let me help you by turning enemies into stars. Of course, I don't guarantee it but give it a try," he said before he spun and disappeared.

"Making small puns to their abilities..." Eldstar chuckled. "They're all the same."

"We know you're going to." Geno and Twink said in unison.

"...Call me if you're tired or ill. Until then, good luck and may the stars bless you." Eldstar said with a sweat drop before he spun and vanished.

"...The final mission is close..." Geno said to Mallow. "We need to be careful when that comes."

"Too bad this isn't the showdown against Tabuu," Roy said. "But meh, it's the same altogether."

"And we're done here," Meta Knight said before he turned to the stairs. "That is my signal to lea-"

"OH NO!" Master Hand interrupted as he put himself between Meta Knight and the stairs. "We're not done yet here!"

"I'm very sure we are." Wolf said as he walked towards the hallway.

Once he was gone, Master Hand went after him and he returned, pushing him from his back as the vulpine glared at him with crossed arms and stopped when he pushed him to the Smashers. "Nope, I have another thing to announce here and nobody will go away."

Diddy blinked. "The stages?"

"Close, but no," Master Hand shook himself. "It's about a little floor I recently added. Didn't anyone feel the small tremble of the explosions?"

"Oh," Zelda began. "You mean the same tremble that made my invaluable Snowpoint Dynasty Vase drop and break?"

Link glared at the hand. "H-hey! Do you know how much time did I spend to find that for her?"

Several "awws" were heard from many of them. Then, some snickers came there after.

Link blushed. "I-it's not what you think!"

"Stop!" Master Hand interrupted the snickers. "Please, all you need to do is follow me to floor 7th and you'll find out."

"T-that's the same floor where my room is!" Ike yelled.

"I ADDED, not DESTROYED," the hand turned to the stairs and floated over them. "Think before speaking, got that?... WAIT!" the hand turned to the Smashers (who didn't even move at all) and looked around. "We're missing someone here."

At that moment, the door from the exit opened and Toon Link came, carrying Raven underneath his right shoulder before the doors closed. They wondered why was Raven moaning in pain.

"Oww..." Raven moaned. "W-why did you have to aim ta arrow there?"

"I'm sorry, okay?!" Toon Link apologized with annoyance. "I said sorry 16 times! Why don't you understand?"

"D-don't be so harsh on an ol' man like good ol' me, kid..." Raven said with weak look on his eyes.

"May I ask what happened?"  Zelda asked.

"K-kid hit me with an arrow...to my...prides and joy..."

Zelda's jaw opened but Link quickly blocked it. "D-don't say those sick innuendos here." Link said with a sigh.

"Prides and joy?" Twink asked in curiosity.

"Aww!!!" Geno groaned out loud.

Toon Link held an arrow on his right hand. "This is wha-"

"Ugh," Master Hand snapped his fingers and a Maxim Tomato fell close to Toon Link. "Make Raven eat that and he should be fine. In the meantime, we need you to follow us."

Toon Link made an angry expression. "For what?" he let Raven fall to the floor and looked at the hand. "We're in the middle of an important training! What's more important than that?"

"My...survival..." Raven muttered as he slowly reached for the tomato.

"Well...I didn't want to say this...but..." Master Hand coughed. "...We have a special floor of very, but VERY hard battles."

All the Smashers that had the unluckyness to be in the Melee Tournament (including Chris and Lucario) took a step back.

"It's NOT Cruel Brawl, I swear!"

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Hmm..." Toon Link kicked the tomato closer to Raven and looked at the hand. "Fine, but make it quick."

"And everyoe MUST follow me." Master Hand said as he went to the stairs with the Smashers following behind...

"...Hmm..." Raven sighed in relief after he ate the tomato, regaining his energies as he stood up. "Man, magic tomatos..." the old man turned to the kitchen...

...And voila, there was her who appeared from the other side.

"!!!" Raven gasped and quickly made a swimmer jump to the sofa. "(No, no no no, no no no, NO NO NO! S-she can't be h-here, right where I-I am!)" Raven thought in shock as he grabbed his hair.

Kitchen

"Huh?" Rita looked at the main lobby, where she could have sworn a person looking at her. "...Weird, I thought somebody was watching me just now...oh well," she took the toaster before she grinned at it. "Time to bust this Blastia wide open."

The Genius Mage began to walk away to her room (that she stole) with the toaster as she hummed what looked to be Dahngrest's theme as she walked to the right side of the hallway across the kitchen...

...Then, several seconds later, Barry came from the other side of the hallway and quickly rummaged through all the food in the refrigerator.

"Turkey!" Barry exclaimed happily as he took out a piece of turkey. "I hope this isn't a Psyduck 'cuz they have headaches and I don't wanna have one so..." the blond trainer took out more food. "Of course, Lucas and Dawn would like some food as well."

The trainer closed the refrigerator with his right foot and walked away to his room, where the other 2 were. Barry was humming what looked to be Oreburgh City's night theme.

...Wait, what's he singing instead of humming now?

"I wanna be, the very best!" Barry sang.

Main Lobby

Raven peered the half of his head from a cushion and shifted his eyes. "(Gotta make an escape while I can...)" he thought before he quickly jumped off from the sofa and ran to the hallway from upstairs, where he used the stairs to get to his room.

From the other side of the hallway, Estelle appeared and looked around confused.

With some blinks, she looked confused at no one in particular, put a hand on her chin and said "Why do I think I just missed something big in here, as well as someone else, too?"
