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

[DededeCloneChris]

The Glitz Pit was good as a story chapter, but I agree that fighting through all those enemies just to fight the annoyingly easy-to-beat Rawk Hawk was a waste of time... But yay, the Yoshi kid! What is it's name gonna be? And what color?

Default Yoshi color, and name? It's up to them. :P :D ;)

[DededeCloneChris]

Chapter 47: Fights, missing teammates and Yoshis!

"Hey, looks like you're againts me, good luck to both of us." King K. said.

"Gonzales, your match is ready to go, please follow me." A guard said and Mario, Goombella, Fox and Falco follow him to the arena.

"We should also find the bomb before it explodes." Pit suggested.

"Alright, who wants to investigate?" Ness asked.

"Me!" Pikachu said.

"Me too!" Pichu said.

"Your plan is to investigate the whereabouts of the bomb while we fight, but be careful, I have a bad feeling about this place." Chris said and Pikachu and Pichu left the room to search for the bomb.

Meanwhile in the arena...

Glitz Pit's Arena

Don't switch partners during this battle

"They're down! Falco, it's your turn!" Mario said returning from bouncing above the Koopas and Falco proceeded to slash them with Falco Illusion, he managed to do 2 attacks, but were enough to defeate them.

"(Oh right! I almost forgot!)" Falco thought, then he returned to his position doing backflips and this time, the crowd went wild instead of killing him.

They receive 3 Star Points and they greet the audience.

"AND THE WINNER IS THE GREAT GONZALES!" Grubba announced and the crowd went wild once again.

"See?! No biggie!" Goombella said jumping.

Minor-League Locker Room

Pikachu and Pichu cames first, then Jolene enters and gives Mario another poor salary, but with a bit more of money and she leaves. Their rank roses up to 17.

"Hey man, good match back there." King K. said.

"But we didn't saw those other allies of you!" Mario said.

"Oh sorry, some fighters have also allies like you do too, I guess Grubba told you that already, right?" He asked and Mario nodded.

"So what did you found?" Ness asked.

Pikachu shook his head "Nothing about the bomb, but we found Bandy Andy in the hallway and he told us something about "The 7 wonders of the Glitz Pit", wanna hear?"

Just then, Jolene came once again in the room with Bandy Andy in front of her.

"How many times must I tell you? Don't leave this room during the matches or else you're going to be disqualified!"

"Heh, sorry." Bandy Andy said.

"Also, I've got the strange feeling you're following me, that is creeping me out too, now stay in this room and wait for your match." Jolene said before leaving.

King K. walks to Bandy Andy "Man, you're such a MAGNET for trouble, you know that?"

"Sorry King K. but I like to know about this place," Bandy Andy grabbed the doorknob "If you excuse me, I need to find more information." He said before leaving.

"That guy never learns." King K. said.

Mario was already reserving the next match and he decided to take Goombella, Pikachu and Pichu this time. But he didn't liked something about the match.

Kiss the person to your left side after winning

Goombella blushed "What the hell is that rule suppose to mean?!" She asked angrily.

Grubba was still on the screen "Romance is a very demanded thing these days so I'm giving them what they want! You gotta follow this rule or you won't advance further!"

Pikachu looks at Pichu "But he's a guy!"

"Gay pairings are rarely the most popular things instead the usual way, don't ask me that or how." Grubba said grinning before leaving.

"I wonder if the other fighters does this." Goombella wondered.

"Gonzales." A guard called and Mario, Goombella, Pikachu and Pichu followed him.

Glitz Pit's Arena

FOR MAKING THIS STORY MORE INTERESTING, WE ARE GOING TO SKIP THE INTRODUCTION PART AND WE WILL JUMP STRAIGHT TO THE BATTLE

Mario: HP 25
Goombella: HP 20
Pikachu: HP 25
Pichu: HP 20

"Their defense is too high and they have spikes on the top! What should we do Mario?" Goombella asked after viewing the infromation of the Red Spike Buzzys.

"Hmm...use Earth Tremor!" Mario said taking out the gray Crystal Star from a map "Everybody, jump above the star!"

"For what?" Pikachu asked.

"Just do it!" Goombella said and the quartet jumped above the star and Mario focused his mind to make the star bigger and stronger (Pressing the A button in the stars), after a while, the star starts to grow.

"Oh boy!" Pichu said surprised as the star continued growing, until Mario successfully made the star reach its maximum power, the huge star starts to jump on the stage, making tremors and waves towards the Red Spike Buzzys, defeating them...

"...We really need to do this?" Pikachu asked worried.

Goombella sighed "Yep...sadly yes..."

Mario walks to Goombella and they...

CENSORED SCENE FOR DAMAGE OF HUMAN SANITY

"What an ending my friends! THE GREAT GONZALES WINS AGAIN!" Grubba said grinning.

"Yuck..." Was the reply of the team of Mario (Goombella gave Mario a glare because she actually enjoyed the kiss).

Minor-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario his salary and she leaves the room again. Their rank roses up to 16.

"What it feels to be kissed by a Goomba Pikachu?" Ness asked lchuckling.

"Shut...up...now..." Pikachu said angrily.

"...? What's that sound?" Pichu asked. From the other side of the wall, there was someone moaning in pain and he was being carried by some guards and doctors.

"AAAHHH!!"

"Hang in there!"

"Apply more pressure there!"

"AAAAHHH!!!"

"He's leaving us!"

"Don't said that!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

"W-what was that?!" Lucas asked scared.

"Looks like someone got himself a trip to the hospital." King. K said "This happens a lot in this place."

Lucas gulped, fearing that his future doesn't has a bed with his name on it.

"The next match is againts the Dead Bones." Goombella said.

Appeal at least once

"The rule is simple this time." Ness said, a guard came and Mario, Goombella and Pit went to the arena.

Arena

Mario: HP 25
Goombella: HP 20
Pit: HP 30

Mario appeals by waving at the audience and he receives Star Power in the process.

"Guys look! It's an angel! I'm so scared!" A Dull Bone said taunting Pit.

"That's it you idiot!" Pit said selecting his list of attacks.

Normal Attack
Palutena Bow FP 2
Mirror Shield FP 4
Angel Ring FP 6

Pit transformed his blades into a bow and he pointed his arrow to the first Dull Bone.

Hold A button until the bar is filled!

He does the command correctly and launches the arrow at full speed, passing through each Dull Bone and piercing their defenses too, doing 5 of damage.

They receive 1 Star Point and greet the audience.

"ANOTHER MATCH WON BY THE GREAT GONZALES!" Grubba said grinning as the crowd went wild again.

"Goddess Palutena, victory is ours!" Pit said.

"Palutena?" Mario wondered.

"Must be her fianc?." Goombella wispered.

Minor-League Locker Room

Once again, Jolene gives a better salary to Mario and she leaves the room, then King. K walks towards Mario. Their rank roses to 15.

"Hey guys, Mr Hoggle the hot dog vendor from outside is selling special hot dogs with some egg from a southern island, you gotta eat it before a match!" King K. said

"Egg with hot dogs?" I'll pass." Falco said, but his stomach suddenly grumbled "...But is better than nothing I think."

"Yay! Hot Dogs!" Pikachu, Pichu, Ness, Pit and Lucas said.

"(I wonder if Pit is still a kid)" Chris wondered in his head "I want to eat one too."

Lobby

"YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!" A big crowd of spectators were blocking the way to the exit because Rawk Hawk was signing autographs to his fans at that time.

"What do we do now?" Lucas asked. Then Mario started to beat the fans with his hammer to make a path, but accidentaly beats ALL of them and Rawk Hawk sees Mario and his team.

"Hey! Don't beat up my fans! Who is going to get an autograph of the RAWK?!" Rawk Hawk asked furiously. But the group ignores the fighter and they leave, oh, the group was Mario, Goombella, Chris, Falco, Pikachu, Pichu, Ness, Pit and Lucas while Fox and Lucario stayed in the locker room.

Attractions Area

"COME BACK HERE!" Someone shouted from the Hot Dog Stand, it was Mr Hoggler the hot dog vendor chasing a runaway egg escaping from his station of work, the worker tried to get the egg but the animated food was faster than him as it went jumping around. The egg was weird because it had colored polka dots in each part of it.

"It's something wrong?" Lucas asked.

"It's the special egg for the hot dogs I ordered from the southern island, if it manages to get away I won't serve any special hot dog!" Mr Hoggler said.

"..." Pichu was staring at the egg "Food....Pichu....wanna....EAT!!!" The small yellow mouse was drooling like crazy and he crazily ran after the egg, but failed in capturing it.

"Catch that egg!" Pikachu said and everyone started to catch the rare egg.

They tried everything, from running after him and...well, only running after him, but the egg jumped in everyone's head without touching the floor and that annoyed them.

"That egg is probably laughing at us!" Ness said while running after the egg.

After a minute, the egg was surrounded by 9 hungry characters made of paper, all lunged their hands at the egg but the food escaped by jumping away and they crashed their heads with everybody else. Piling themselves above each other, defeated and humiliated by an...egg.

The egg jumped above the Hot Dog Stand and it stopped from moving.

"Get...that...egg!" Pichu demanded.

"...Zzzzz..."

"Huh?" Pit said.

"...Zzzzz..."

"...The egg...is sleeping?" Lucas asked confused after hearing various snores coming inside the egg. There were some Zs appearing above the egg, indicating it was sleping deeply because it tired itself out after jumping and escaping.

"Oh great, now he's up there, can you get the egg for me please?" Mr Hoggler asked.

[DededeCloneChris]

Mario and Goombella walked away searching for something to reach the egg while the group were talking to themselves.

"Well, who wants to reach the egg?" Chris asked.

"Pfff! Mario forgot we can reach that egg with a double jump!" Falco said standing to the right side of the car, but he just jumped one feet "..."

"What are you waiting for? Get the egg!" Pichu said.

"I can't."

"What?"

"You saw me! I didn't jumped twice, I jumped one time!"

"Please, you're just kidding!" Ness said and he jumped one feet "..."

"Now you see?" Falco asked.

Pikachu tried and the result was the same, Lucas tried and failed and so did Chris but failed too.

"Pit! You have wings, fly over there!" Chris said.

But Pit only floated above the ground, with the exception that he made it to 2 feets above the floor.

"Wonderful, he made it! Now we need to wait until HE REACHES THE 6 FEET!" Chris said and Pti rubbed his head embarrased.

"There must be something in this world that prevents us from jumping twice!" Pichu said, still staring at the egg, then, a paper plane came from the right landing safely above the Hot dog Stand.

"Great, we lost the chance to get that well-made paper plane too!" Ness said.

But the paper plane turned into Mario and Goombella!

"I knew it! Mario is a paper plane in reality!" Pichu said pointing an acussing finger to Mario.

"Pichu, you forgot we're of paper right now?" Lucas asked.

"Mario, what are we going to do with this egg?" Goombella asked glancing at the egg. Then, it woke up by jumping and somehow, he was talking "What's that? You want to follow us?" She asked and the egg jumped agreeding "Mario, can we take this eggy-weggy with us?"

"Jumping eggs bugs me out." Mario replied.

AHEM!

"Mario, can we take this eggy-weggy with us?" Goombella asked.

"Ok!" Mario replied.

"Hurray! You heard that eggy-weggy? You're coming with us!" Goombella said smiling at the egg.

"Oh well, jumping eggs must be bad for health if I added it to one of my hot dogs." Mr Hoggler said.

Mario jumped to the floor with the egg following him and Goombella, Chris, Falco, Pikachu, Pichu, Pit and Ness went inside the Glitz Pit again...wait, there is somebody missing here....

"Here you go!" Mr Hoggle said handing over a Hot Dog to Lucas who ate it while returning to the building. And yes, they forgot their hunger.

Minor-League Locker Room

The group continued their way winning the matches easily, they were giving the best to the audience, even if there was something odd in the air around the arena, they were still fighting whatsoever. The egg Mario and Goombella took was always staying in the room with the other fighters (Even some of them polished the egg).

When they reached the rank 13th...

"Hey man," King K. called "I'm going to retire after some matches, you know, I want to surrender this kind of life because I don't want to awake above a bed, y'know what I mean?" He said walking away to his position.

"(I wish I could be him)" Lucas thought.

And finally, they reached rank 11th, just one more rank to leave the minor-league locker room and stay in the major-league locker room. Jolene came from the door with a little violet bat and she explained everything that he should know, after a while, she left again.

"Umm...nice to meet you, I'm Sir Swoop, let's fight with...you know...with honor ok?" Sir Swoop said.

Back Hallway

Pikachu and Pichu were still searching for that bomb when they saw Jolene talking with a guard in front of a door with a lock.

"You say there are strange noises coming from inside?" Jolene asked.

"Yes of course Ms. Jolene, but we can't enter since we don't have the key." The guard said.

"Hmm, keep an eye of this door." Jolene said and the guard left "I wonder if he is in there..." She noticed Pikachu and Pichu were staring at her "Y-you! What are you 2 doing here? Go to your locker room or you're going to be disqualified!" She said leaving.

"She was acting a little odd, don't you think Pikachu?" Pichu asked rubbing his chin.

"There is something inside this room...and now that we're talking about odd things, have you seen Bandy Andy?"

"Nope, he was right there crossing that corner, but he wasn't in the our locker room either."

Mario and Goombella came with a guard leading them to their next match "Hey guys! You're coming with us to the next match!" Goombella said and the 2 mouses followed them to the arena.

Arena

"Welcome once again everyone! Now The Great Gonzales is up againts the Iron Adonis Twins, the Iron Cleft Bros. The Armored Harriers!" Grubba said looking at 2 big blue Clefts with red boots and green boots.

"Hey bruddha!" The green boot Cleft called his brother.

"What?" The red boot asked.

"They're going down right? Because we're invincible!"

"Right on bruddha!"

"Those 2 are just talk and no much else." Pikachu taunted and the crowd cheers.

"Now.....BEGIN!" Grubba said and the battle started bu with another type of music.

Event Battle

Don't use items

Mario: HP 19
Goombella: HP 6
Pikachu: HP 17
Pichu: 15

Mario changed his turn and Goombella moved to the front and she searched in her book for information regarding the Iron Clefts...but...

"WHAT?! This book says they're invincible!" Goombella said in shock, Mario tried to attack using his Power Hammer, but it didn't do any effect on the first Iron Cleft.

Pikachu casted a powerful thunder with full force, but it didn't do any effect like Mario tried "Impossible!" Pikachu said astonished.

Pichu was looking at his list of attacks.

Thunder Jolt
Agility FP 1
Skull Bash FP 4
Thunder FP 9

He used thunder at full force like Pikachu, although the attack was stronger this time (And thus, damaging Pichu by 2), it didn't caused any effect like previous attacks "No!" Pichu said.

The Red Boot Iron Cleft ran towards Goobella and she closed her eyes to resist the attack, reducing it to 3, but her HP was at 3.

"Goombella! Use a Superdodge!" Mario said, Goombella was now defending herself from the second Iron Cleft, unfortunately, she was so tired and the attack came without changing his force and Goombella fell to the floor defeated "Goombella!" Mario shouted worried.

"These guys are invincible! We need to run away and forfeit this match!" Pikachu said.

"Count me in! Goombella suffered a lot already!" Pichu said while holding Goombella on his back.

"....Alright!" Mario said selecting the option to run away and they did.

The next scene shows them unconscious on the floor and the crowd cheers the Iron Clefts for their victory.

"And the Armored Harriers wins this match!" Grubba said.

Minor-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario his salary and she leaves, muttering something about a door.

"Now what are we going to do? Goombella was injured in battle, those rocks are invincible, what now?" Pikachu asked.

"Hey, the egg!" Pichu said pointing to the bench were the egg was "It's gone!"

"It was here a moment ago!" Pit said looking around.

"Yo!" Somebody called from the room, a small green Yoshi with a tough face, wearing yellow pants and red hair between his eyes walked towards Mario "You were the ones who saved me from being an ingredient from a hot dog right? Well, nice to meetcha!" It was the same small Yoshi who hatched from the egg.

"Oooohhhh! My baby has born!" Pichu squealed.

"What do you mean your baby? I polished his egg!" Chris protested.

"I was taking care of him from Bandy Andy!" Falco protested (Even if Bandy Andy wasn't in the room the whole time).

"I was telling him a story of an angel saving an ancient land!" Pit protested.

"You mean, you?" Pikachu asked raising an eyebrow.

"Umm...no?"

"I was sleeping with him!" Lucas protested.

"I was showing him my pictures when I was in my adventure!" Ness protested.

"I was covering him with my vest!" Fox protested and everyone gave him a series of confused faces.

"...Are you that protective?" Pikachu asked confused.

"...Sometimes..." Fox muttered.

"Is my baby!" Chris said.

"Mine!" Pichu said.

"Mine!" Pikachu said.

"Mine!" Falco said.

Soon, everybody lunged at every other possible father and they made a fight inside smoke, except Mario, Koops (He replaced Goombella), Lucario, Ness and Lucas.

The newborn Yoshi looked at Lucario and an exclamation mark appeared above his head and he walked to the Aura Pok?mon.

"Hey you! You're my son from now on!"

"What?! Me?!" Lucario asked in shock.

"It's the other way around genius! Besides, you didn't saw him, you saw Mario on the screen instead!" Ness said pointing to Mario.

The Yoshi looked to Mario "When I did that?"

Flashback

Mario and co. were fighting againts the Armored Harriers and the egg was watching the fight from the screen below Lucas, who was sleeping above.

Ness looked at the egg and it bounced from the bench, then when he blinked, the egg was gone and Lucas woke up in the floor with a lump on his head.

End of flashback

"Oh yeah! I remember!" The Yoshi said "Hey bunch of lunatics! I don't need a dad after all! Because I don't need one! Hahahaha!"

The smoke cleared out and they stopped in mid-air (Literally), and fell on the floor.

"So what's your name?" Koops asked.

"Well...I'm a newborn, so why don't you decide for me?" The Yoshi suggested.

"Rocky!" Chris suggested.

"Churai!" Pikachu suggested.

"Victor!" Pichu suggested.

"James!" Fox suggested.

"Angelo!" Pit suggested.

"Ninten!" Ness suggested and strangely, it was the name of someone from Mother 1.

"Pancakes!" Lucas suggested.

"Falco Jr!" Falco suggested and everybody stared at him with weird faces "...What? Isn't Pancakes weirder?"

"No." Everyone else said.

"I didn't even asked you 8! I asked this guy!" The Yoshi said pointing to Mario.

"His name is Mario." Koops said.

"Whatever his name is! It doesn't sounds cool! Now, please give me a name!" The Yoshi demanded and Mario started to think about a proper name for the newborn yoshi.

"(After all we did, the Yoshi decides for himself)" Pit thought.

"I got it!" Mario said snapping his fingers "I have a good name that is better than all yours combined!"

"Really?" Chris asked surprised.

"His name will be..." Drums starts to play "...Yoshi!"

Cricket chirps for 1 minute.

"...Geez, like that name is really original." Falco said sarcastically.

"Hmm, Yoshi? Sounds good to me!" The Yoshi, now with the name of...Yoshi said.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Falco said surprised.

"Too bad he isn't an adult yet, I wanted to ride a Yoshi." Mario said.

"What are you waiting for? Get on my back!" Yoshi said.

"But you're still a baby!" Lucas said.

"Baby my red sticky tongue! C'mon! Get on!" Yoshi said.

"...If you say so..." Mario said jumping in the back of the Yoshi and everyone closed their eyes before Mario could even touch him.

"Oh no! He's crushed by Mario's weight! Why the good need to die so earlier?! WHY?!" Ness asked to the roof dropping to his knees.

[DededeCloneChris]

But instead of Ness' prediction, he opened his eyes and saw Yoshi carrying Mario as nothing bad happened.

"This Yoshi has much energy than I thought!" Mario said while riding Yoshi, then he got out of his back.

"So? Can I join your team?" Yoshi asked and Mario nodded "Cool!...Hmm, oh yeah! Your name was Gonzales isn't?"

"His name is Mario." Koops said again.

"No, I'm pretty sure that guy with the funny ribbon said Gonzales to him, that name is so cool man! I'm going to call you Gonzales!" Yoshi said.

"But my name i-" Mario interrupted.

"No need to talk! Is Gonzales and that's that!"

"...Fine." Mario said surrendering.

"Anyway, I saw your defeat back there in the arena, I can help you out!" Yoshi said reserving the match againts the Armored Harriers without Mario telling him to do it "There!"

"Are you crazy!? We can't defeat them!" Pikachu said.

"Please! Those guys will be out before they say victory! C'mon Gonzales! Let's give it our best!"

"...Sure." Mario said unsure of what he said, a guard came and he, Yoshi and Pit followed him to the arena.

Arena

"The Great Gonzales is back for a rematch lads! Who will win this time?" Grubba asked excited.

"DUH! US!" The Armored Harriers said.

"Get yerself ready......TO BATTLE!!!"

Event Battle

Mario changed his turn to let Yoshi stand in the front.

"Ha! Let me show them who's boss!" Yoshi taunted and he approached slowly to the first Iron Cleft.

"Ooohh! I'm scared! What is a twerp like you going to do?" The red boot Iron Cleft asked taunting.

"EAT YOU!" Yoshi said sticking his tongue in the Iron Cleft, pulling the rock inside his mouth, then Yoshi spat him out to the his brother and both received damage, and they fell defeated!

"What?" Pit said amazed.

They receive 18 Star Points and greet the audience.

"WOW! Amazing! The Great Gonzales has defeated the Armored Harriers in his revenge! AMAZING!" Grubba said making the crowd to cheer wildly and Mario gaves them a thumbs-up.

Minor-League Locker Room

"Here's your fight money, Mr Gonzales." Jolene said giving Mario his salary "Mr Grubba wishes to see you and your team in his office, please follow me." She said with Mario's team leaving the locker room. Their rank roses up to 10th!

Hallway

"Yo! Gonzales!" Yoshi called.

"Yes?"

"I hear everything about the Crystal Stars and your quest for collecting them! So I wanted to ask you if I could tag along!"

"Of course! Why not?"

"Yippie!" Yoshi replied.

Grubba's Office (But still fancy)

Mario and company walked inside the office.

"Mr. Grubba, I've brought you Mr. Gonzales and his team, as you requested." Jolene said.

"Muh-muh-Ms. Jolene! You mind yer manners, now! We KNOCK 'round here, missy!" Grubba said.

"I apologize, sir." Jolene said.

"Ahh, don't mind yer head in little things then, now where I was...somethin' 'bout Gonzales...oh yeah!" Grubba said walking to Mario "Gonzales, you ol' so-an'-so! Lemme me congratulate you and yer team, sons! Major league already, huh?"

Mario nodded.

"I've got that strange feelin' of you getting on the top, and darn it! I love when I'm right! Now lemme give you somethin'-something for yer ascend." Grubba gives Mario 30 coins for reaching the Major-League "Oh, by the way, yer clothes ain't cool, but don't worry, son, when you get the champ's title, I'll give ya some clothes, I dunno, maybe a flashy pink with frills or somethin'"

"(Does-a he think I'm a queer?)" Mario thought confused.

"Now that I'm finished with my little rant, now give 'em yer fightin' skills! Jolene, take 'em to the...MAJOR-LEAGUE LOCKER ROOM!" Grubba said excited.

"(He must be very excited to talk like that)" Ness thought in his mind.

Pichu's eyes shined "For real?! We're top fighters now?!"

"Ya hear right, son!"

Major-League Locker Room

"Okay Mr. Gonzales, nothing is different in this league, except that the room is cleaner and the fighters here are stronger and harder to beat." Jolene said adjusting her glasses "If you excuse me, I need to leave to attend more business around here, have a nice day Mr. Gonzales." She said leaving the room.

"Hmm, not exactly my style of room, but what the hell? We're in the major league!" Yoshi said, just then, Rawk Hawk came from the door and he looks at Mario and his team.

"Hey you! You're that Gonzales guy right? Congratulations on ascending so quickly to this league!" Rawk Hawk said. He notices that Yoshi was inspecting his belt, or more accurately, the Crystal Star "Hey! Get your hands off me or you will get RAAAWWKED!" Rawk Hawk warned.

Yoshi nodded to Mario "Yep! No doubt about it! This one is a fake!"

"What?! You're saying my belt is a fake?! How dare you to insult the RAWK?! I'll crush all of you in the ring later!" Rawk Hawk said offended by Yoshi's words and he leaves.

"That isn't the real Crystal Star then?" Pikachu asked "Where is the real one?"

Suddenly, Mario starts to make a weird music of Super Mario Bros. 3 from his pants' pockets.

"Cool! Where I can find one of those pants with music on them?" Pikachu asked, for his bad luck, it was Mario's Mailbox SP for receiving messages and he looks to his new message and reads it aloud.

FoLlOw My InSTrUcTiOnS tO FInD tHe CrYsTaL sTaR.

From X.

"From X?" Chris wondered.

"Do you think he knows where is it?" Pit asked.

"I say follow his instructions! We don't have any clue about where is the real Crystal Star hidding!" Yoshi said as he reserves the next match, but...

"Hold yer foots son! There is a match currently takin' place in the arena!" Grubba said in the screen.

"Who?"

"Hmm...let's see....oh yeah! The Grey Vulpine VS the Koopinator again!"

When Fox heard this, he pushed Yoshi out of the way and he starts to type on the computer to show the image of the fight.

Arena

"I'll take you out this time for sure." Dark Koopatrol said.

"Heh, let's see that," Wolf said and he looked at Poppant "You, give me that again."

"Lah Dee Dah, here you go!" The Poppant said singing handing over a orange bottle to Wolf.

Major-League Locker Room

"What? Is he thirsty now?" Falco asked chuckling.

"Wait...that bottle...is not ordinary!" Mario said.

"Of course is ordinary! What does it has? A strange potion that makes you big or something like that?" Ness asked chuckling.

"Actually...is that."

"...No...you're not being serious right?"

"It's a Power Punch!" Mario said.

Arena

Wolf starts to drink the entire bottle and he suddenly starts to grow the double of his size and glares at Dark Koopatrol.

"You're dead." Wolf said in a deep voice thanks to the effect of the Power Punch, then he jumps high in the air and struck his claws above Dark Koopatrol, making another earthquake in the stage and leaving a big claw mark on it again, then Dark Koopatrol falls defeated and Wolf returns to his original size.

"WHAT A DEMOSTRATION OF POWER LADS!" Grubba said making the crowd wild.

Major-League Locker Room

Pichu and Lucas were fainted on the floor and some of them had their eyes wide.

"Is-is this some kind of joke right?!" Chris asked scared.

"No, the Power Punch makes you big and your strength obviously is enhanced greatly too." Mario said.

"...Fox?...Are you alright?" Chris asked tapping Fox's shoulder but he faints "Oh god! Somebody help him!"

"I'm...so...dead....now..." Fox managed to say.

"T-that's not true! Besides, it's obvious that Wolf doesn't wants to kill you, right Falco?!" Chris asked but Falco makes a weird laugh "...Falco?"

"Well...not exactly..." Falco said scratching his head.

Flashback

High in the air above Corneria, Fox was taking his daily training in his Arwing when suddenly, his ship is attacked by lasers coming from Wolf's Wolfen and he tries to defend himself.

"Don't escape, I'm going to kill you right now!" Wolf said grinning.

Scene changes, Fox was walking without doing anything else in the streets of Corneria when suddenly, Wolf appears with a gun ready.

"Stand there, I'm going to kill you this instant!" Wolf said grinning.

Scene changes, Fox was awakening from his bed, just to find Wolf with a Rocket Launcher pointing at his head.

"How did yo-" Fox was interrupted.

"Don't move, I'm going to kill you now!" Wolf said grinning.

And that wasn't all of them...

"Panther! Kill Fox now!"

"Kill Fox, Leon!"

"This is the end for you, because I'm going to kill you!"

"Kill Fox is the only thing I want to do in my life!"

"Today, I'm going to kill you Fox!"

"I'm not here to beat you, I'm here to kill you!"

End of flashback

"At least he didn't said kill though!" Ness said sighing.

"What is yer goal in yer life son?" Grubba asked in the screen to Wolf.

"To kill Fox McCloud." Wolf responded bluntly with crossed arms.

"Sorry Ness, I didn't hear you, what did you said?" Pikachu asked sarcastically.

The match ended and Grubba appeared on the screen "You're up againts The Tiny Spinies! Now here's the rule son, I want you and your partners to make a human tower above each other's backs and hold still until 10 seconds after winning, I want to impress some cheerleaders of the front row after all!" He said leaving the screen.

"If it just me or are the rules getting stupidier?" Ness asked confused and he was trying to wake up Lucas.

Arena

"PK FLASH!" Ness shouted commanding the PK Flash to explode between the Lakitus, it exploded right on the middle dealing 8 of damage and the Lakitus were defeated along with their clouds.

"Oh no, here it goes!" Ness said standing above Mario's back, then Lucas stood above Ness' back and Yoshi jumped high in the air to land on Lucas' back, the four made a human tower who tilted to the sides and they counted in their minds the seconds, just before when they were going to fall, they reached the 10 required seconds but they fell to the floor.

"Ooowww...." Lucas said rubbing his butt.

"THE GREAT GONZALES IS THE WINNER!!!" Grubba said and the crowd goes wild.

"I don't want to do that again!" Lucas complained.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario his fight money and she leaves and their rank roses up to 9.

"Say Mario, I want to investigate the Glitz Pit to find the Subspace Bomb, Lucas, do you want to come with me?" Ness asked.

"S-sure!" Lucas said. The psychic kids left the room to find the bomb.

"I hope they find it or this place is doomed." Chris said.

"AAHHH!!" Chris yelled after the first Bristle pinched his body with his spikes.

"How dare you!" Lucario said enraged.

Double Team FP 3
Aura Sphere FP 5
Extremespeed FP 9

He launches an Aura Sphere, dealing 10 of damage to the Bristle and it was defeated.

The second Bristle starts to spin widly and he crashes his own body to Mario, but he defends himself, making the damage drop to zero.

"Take-a this!" Mario throwing his hammer to the Bristle, but it was useless and he didn't received any damage.

It was Yoshi's turn and he decides to defend himself.

Chris' turn and he does the same as Yoshi.

Lucario uses another Aura Sphere and it collides with full force and the second Bristle falls defeated.

They receive 2 Star Points and greet the audience.

"THE GREAT GONZALES IS THE WINNER!!!" Grubba said in the mic.

"We're awesome!" Yoshi said.

Jolene gives Mario a better salary and she leaves, then their rank roses up to 8 and Mario receives another strange e-mail from X.

From X.

"The "Watering Hole"? What does that means?" Yoshi wondered to himself.

"Watering Hole...it means something with water but...we didn't saw anything like a water coming from a hole..." Chris said.

"What if it doesn't needs to be water exactly?" Ness said "It could be something related."

"How about if we just go outside and find something related to a watering hole?" Pichu asked and they nodded.

Attractions Area

Although it was stupid to take the whole party, only Mario, Yoshi, Chris and Pichu went outside to search the "Watering Hole".

"The Hot Dog Stand?" Pichu asked.

"No." Yoshi replied.

"The shop?"

"No."

"The Juice Bar?"

"No."

"The Glitz Pit?"

"We already got out of that place!"

"...The Hot Dog Stand?"

"Ugh, give up Pichu, you're bad at being a detective." Yoshi said.

"Wait, what was the third option again?" Chris asked.

"The Hot Dog Stand?" Yoshi asked confused.

"No, he means the Juice Bar!" Mario said.

"Hmm, the juice is the closest associated thing to the water." Chris said.

"Let's go inside!" Pichu said stepping inside the bar.

Juice Bar

"Hmm, juice..." Pichu said trailing off.

"Sweeeeeet juice..." Chris said trailing off.

"Stoooop doing this!" Yoshi snapped.

The manager of the place looks to Mario and he walks to him "You're the Great Gonzales right? Well, someone left a package in the door but when I went for the package, the person was gone, but the letter told me to give you this!" The manager said giving Mario a Super Hammer!

The red plumber was suddenly pulled to a explanation area with Toadette, except for Yoshi, Chris and Pichu.

"Where is Mario? He disappeared!" Pichu said in shock.

Mario came back blinking from nowhere and the manager speaks to him "That's the Super Hammer 2004, it's the last model in the hammer series, yeah, good refinery, nice handle, the commercials says that the hammer chooses its owner, it isn't cheap too, so someone is really a biggest fan of yours, use it well!" He said and Mario receives another e-mail.

"The Minor-League Locker Room? Now that I remember, there was this huge yellow block to the left side of the room." Yoshi said.

"But how are we suppose to enter that room? There are guards guarding every single room." Chris said.

"Not all the rooms, except for one with a big lock on the center of the hallway." Pichu said.

"Let's just ask kindly and they will let us in." Mario suggested.

"There is a 0.1 percent of that..." Chris said as the scene changes.

Minor-League Locker Room

"...happening." He finished by sighing.

"Look! There is the big yellow block! Gonzales, smash it!" Yoshi said pointing to the yellow block blocking a secret room, Gonzale-I mean, Mario spun around his feet with his hammer and he destroyed the block, they walked to the other side to find a destroyed computer with a book shelf, but above the shelf, a paper was there.

"Now how are we going to reach that place?" Chris asked, but he saw Mario and Yoshi jumping above the furniture which the destroyed computer was and Mario jumped above Yoshi's back and he floated for a few seconds in the air enough to reach the shelf, then Mario took the paper and they jumped to the floor.

Mario, Yoshi, Chris and Pichu examined the paper "Look! It has an article about the Crystal Star!" Pichu said.

"Let's return to our room to examine it with everyone else." Mario said and they agreeded, but just as they crossed to the other side, Jolene was inside the room and she notices them.

"Mr. Gonzales! What are you doing here?" She looks at the paper "And what's that you're holding? I'm sorry but I have to confiscate it." She took the paper from Mario's hands "Now return to your room immediately." She said before leaving.

"Aww man! She took our evidence!" Yoshi said disappointed.

"(And I was hoping to use my Apollo Justice's skills on her...)" Chris thought disappointed with blue text on his words.

"Anyway...let's go..." Mario said leaving the room with them.

Mario's team were fighting againts the Shellshockers, they were 2 Shady Koopas and 2 Shady Paratroopas.

"THUNDER!" Pikachu yelled launching a strong but not so powerful thunder, dealing 6 of damage.

"THUNDER!" Pichu yelled casting a less stronger thunder (And he receives 1 of damage), but the attack deals 3 of damage and the Shady Koopas were defeated.

"BEEP!" They said a curse or a swear in unison and the crowd was left speechless.

"THE WINNER IS THE GREAT GONZALES!!!" Grubba announced over the mic.

"Ha! Take that!" Pikachu taunted and the crowd goes wild.

"HEY!" Somebody yelled from the crowd, it was one of the Iron Clefts from before with his brother and they jump to the arena, demanding another match with Mario "Gonzales! We're here to take revenge! Prepare yourself!"

"Screw it!" Yoshi said gulping one of the Iron Clefts and launching it to his other brother and they were defeated in less than 5 seconds.

"WOW! THE GREAT GONZALES SHOWED 'EM WHO'S THE BOSS 'ROUND HERE! LETS GIVE HIM MORE CHEERS!" Grubba said excited and the crowd goes wild again.

As usual, Jolene gives Mario his salary and she leaves, muttering something about a paper. And their rank roses up to 7 and he receives another e-mail, but...

Keep sticking your noses in where it doesn't belong and you are D-E-A-D M-E-A-T

"Man, THAT dude sounds peeved! I'm thinking he isn't our X buddy." Yoshi said.

"Let's take this as a threatening e-mail." Chris said.

"I don't know why, but I have the feeling that Jolene is that mysterious X." Pikachu said.

"You're giving quick results but without proof." Fox said.

"Leave him be, because I know Grubba is that mysterious X." Chris said.

"No, it's Bandy Andy." Falco said.

"Alright, you either have a rivalry with that Bandit or you hate him." Pichu said.

"I hate him."

"Thought so."

"..." Lucario didn't spoke and Chris looks at him.

"Lucario? You know something about that X person?"

"..."

"Ahh, you're thinking right? I really admire you!"

"...Zzzz..."

"WAKE THE HELL UP YOU DORK!"

"WHO?! WHAT?! WHEN?! HOW?!" Lucario asked in shock as he woke up.

Chris sighed "Nothing...please calm down and don't fall asleep just because you didn't talked so much in this day."

"...Fine."

Yoshi, Chris and Lucario crossed their arms annoyed by the rule and Mario was fighting againts the Fuzz alone. They were composed of a Fuzzy, a Flower Fuzzy and a Forest Fuzzy.

I remember who X is (I think).

It is [spoiler] Jolene, right? [/spoiler]

Oh, well.  Just keep up the interesting story!

I happened to notice you're slipping on the grammar a little again (nothing horrible or anything.).
Remember to check it.  I don't care if checking it takes longer to get another chapter posted, because I want each chapter to show your full potential :)

"HIYAAAH!" Mario used his Quake Hammer to make a tiny quake which dealt 2 of damage to each Fuzzy.

"MEEEOOORRRKKKKK!!!" They "yelled" in pain.

The Fuzzies leaped their bodies (Or heads) to Mario and they started to suck-up his health (And FP, because of the Flower Fuzzy).

Mario used a Shooting Star and stars came from his side, damaging every Fuzzy with 6 of damage, defeating them.

"THE GREAT GONZALES IS THE WINNER!!!" Gruuba announced once again.

"And without doing anything!" Chris said.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gave Mario a better salary and she leaves the room, their rank roses up to 6.

"Where is Ness and Lucas? Haven't they returned yet?" Chris asked looking around the room.

"Something happened to them if they were searching for the bomb for sure." Pikachu said.

"Can you please go for Ness and Lucas, Pikachu?"

"Leave it to me! Pichu, let's go!" Piakchu said leaving the room with Pichu, leaving Mario, Yoshi, Chris, Lucario, Fox, Falco and Pit.

"I have a very bad feeling about this..." Fox muttered to himself.

Finish this match in 5 turns or less

Mario: HP 18
Yoshi: HP 10
Fox: HP 30
Falco: HP 30

They were fighting againts the Magikoopa Masters, a Red Magikoopa, a White Magikoopa and a Green Magikoopa above a flying broom were the members of that team.

And Mario used the power of the green Crystal Star.

"For what was that?" Falco asked and suddenly, a big bomb with a big green star on it appeared on their side and they gasped "MARIO! THAT'S A FREAKING BOMB YOU IDIOT!" Falco said moving his hands crazily up and down, they quickly acted and throwed the big bomb to the their enemies, they throwed the bomb back to them and that continued back and forth until...

BOOM!

The Magikoopa Masters were frozen without moving.

Yoshi floated above the air by moving his foots and he stops above the Green Magikoopa, he starts to jump above him 4 times and returns to the group, the magician was taken down from his broom.

This time, Fox tried to use Fox Illusion and he tries to not fail in his mind, and fortunately, he succeeds and he quickly slashes the magicians 7 times in a row, defeating them in one turn.

"You stealed my spotlight!" Falco said angrily and they receive 9 Star Points and greet the audience.

"THE GREAT GONZALES IS THE WINNER!!!" Grubba announced.

"Hmph!" Falco said angrily looking away.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gives better salary, she leaves, their rank roses up to 5 and the Koopinator walks to Mario.

"Hey. You, Gonzales. Jolene brought you a piece of cake. From a fan, I guess." Dark Koopatrol said pointing to a delicious piece of cake above a red wooden furniture.

"Now THAT is a present! Just look that Strawberry on top of the cake! YUMMY!" Yoshi said and after staring at the cake, he eats it and rubs his stomach "Gooood caaake." He said dreamily and recovers his health.

"All Yoshis are the same, no doubt about it." Fox said.

"...Where is Pikachu and Pichu? Don't tell me they haven't returned either!" Chris said looking around.

"Let me search for them." Pit said leaving the room.

"And there goes another brave soul." Lucario said.

"That was very touching Lucario!" Chris said wiping out a tear from his eye.

Don't take 20 HP of damage

"HHHHHIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Lucario launched the most powerful Aura Sphere he could make towards the Dark Craw, he receives 20 of damage and he was defeated quickly.

"THE GREAT GONZALES IS THE WINNER!!!" Grubba announced once again and the crowd goes crazy about the victory.

"Nobody can defeat us!" Chris said happily.

"MAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRIIIIIIIIOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"...Oh no...that voice..." Chris said shaking his head. From the crowd, the most stupid and idiot king of all, the same Bowser in person cames jumping to the ring.

"I've finally found you of all places!" Bowser said and he looks to Mario's team, especially Chris "Who's the wussy from over there?"

"W-wussy?" Chris asked a little hurted from the inside. But Lucario steps in front of him.

"Call him like that again and you're going to regret it!" Lucario said angrily glaring at Bowser.

"Whoa whoa whoa! I'm a king and I can say what I want to say!" Bowser looks around "Talk about perfect timing! And now all these folks get to watch me murdalize all of you together!"

"Just try it." Lucario demanded narrowing his eyes.

Bowser Battle

"Mwhahahahaha! Now watch me audience! I'm gonna beat the crap out of them!" Bowser said laughing evily.

"Ugh, let's just finish this guy already!" Chris demanded.

Mario uses Power Bounce on Bowser 8 times, then Yoshi makes 3 eggs and he throws them at Bowser, he suddenly shrinks upon receiving the second egg plus 6 of damage in total.

"You little punks! I'm so gonna kill you 4 now!" Bowser said in a squeaky tone due to his tiny size.

"Chris, it's time for you to use the Aura Sphere." Lucario said and Chris looks at him.

"But I'm still a rockie!"

"I believe in you, you can do it."

"...O-ok...let's see..."

Force Palm
Double Team FP 3
Aura Sphere FP 5

Chris focuses his hands to create the Aura Sphere, but just as the orb was getting bigger, it explodes and Chris receives 4 of damage "Oowww..." Chris said.

"...Don't worry, I'll train you after we return to the mansion." Lucario said with a little smile, then he uses Force Palm on Bowser and he receives 7 of damage.

"ARGH! I'll get you for this!" Bowser said walking towards the group and he exhales fire and they receive 1 of damage.

To finish this useless battle, Mario uses Power Bounce again on Bowser and he receives 9 consecutive hits and falls above his belly defeated "Noooo...." Bowser said returning to his original size, giving Mario and company 10 Star Points.

"Hoo, nelly! GONZALES DEFEATED THE OUTSIDER IN A BLINK! CONGRATULATIONS GONZALES! NOBODY CAN STOP YOU!" Grubba said.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario his salary and she leaves as always and their rank roses up to 4.

"That was Bowser right? Man, you can't get away a single day without him annoying you!" Falco said and Mario nodded.

And Mario receives another e-mail (He needs to remember to get a spam e-mail blocker for his Mailbox SP).

"A telephone booth? There is one in this city?" Chris asked "And Pit hasn't returned yet..."

"Let me go for him and the others." Lucario said leaving the room.

"Okay, this is creeping me out now, we need to go outside but this time, together." Chris suggested.

Back Hallway

Rawk Hawk was there and he sees Mario and company "Gonzales! There you are you little punk, if you keep stealing the spotlight from me, you're going to enter a world of hurt! Quit making such a splash, if you value your puny life along with your teammates! Harharharharharhar!" He said laughing, warning and leaving.

"Geez, what the heck is wrong with that guy?" Fox asked.

"He was threatening us, wasn't he?" Chris asked.

"He sounds like Falco, so he must be his cousin!" Yoshi said.

"Haha, look at how I'm laughing." Falco said sarcastically.

They found a telephone booth just near the shop and they found a storage key laying inside. After taking it, Mario receives another e-mail.

"Guys! Fox is missing!" Falco said.

"Wonderful! That counts 7 now!" Chris said angrily, not believing that they just lost almost all their teammates.

...............................................................................................

"It's my fault...why did he had to suffer like that?! Why?!" Chris asked crying above Falco's shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself please, it's obviously not your fault." Falco said patting Chris's back.

...............................................................................................

"You're going down kid!" Wolf said in a deep voice.

"If Fox was here to help us to defeat Wolf..." Chris muttered to himself.

...............................................................................................

"When the time comes, just act kid." Wolf said as he was preparing to fight againts Rawk Hawk.

"You mean, now?" Chris asked.

...............................................................................................

"You bastard!" Mario said to Grubba.

"Say what you want! I'm gonna use the power of the Crystal Star and the Subspace Bomb to crush yer bones!" Grubba said as he started to grow with a purple aura.

Chapter 48: Everyone wants to be BIG

Back Hallway

Our current team is now in their way to the Storage Room in the back hallway, but they find Jolene speaking with a guard and the guard leaves and she spots Mario.

"Mr. Gonzales! What are you doing her-"

"HOLD IT!" Chris yelled dramaticaly stopping his right foot in the floor "Okay, now tell us, you know something about that room, right?" He asked with a dialogue box below him.

"I don't know anything about what is making sounds inside that room and no, I don't know absolutely nothing." Jolene said with a dialogue box below her.

"(Wait, when she said don't, she bit her lips slightly...) OBJECTION!" Chris yelled and then his group jumped surprised.

"Chris, this isn't a courtroom! Stop yelling like that!" Fox said.

"Jolene...when you said don't, you bit your lips a little, meaning that you DO know something about that room!" Chris said with an acussing finger towards Jolene.

CRACK!

Jolene starts to sweat a little "Errhh, Mr. Pedro, stop being paranoic! You can't prove that just because I bit my lips!"

"(She's right, just because she showed nervousness that doesn't means she didn't had...wait, of course she knows something!) Okay Ms. Jolene, tell us everything that you know about the Storage Room!"

"There's just one little problem."

DING!

"What?"

"How should I know what is inside if there is a lock on the door? I'd have enter anytime instead of asking the guards."

CRACK!

"AAAHHHHHHH!!! SHE'S RIGHT!" Chris said defeated and the dialogue box disappeared.

"Now if you 5 will excuse, I have important matters to attend, please return to your locker room." Jolene said adjusting her glasses and walks away, muttering something about a star.

"...What did I did wrong?" Chris asked with toon tears running from his eyes and the others ignored his "courtroom dramatization" by entering the room, opening the lock.

Storage Room

"Who's there?" Somebody asked above some boxes, it was the treasure hunter, Ms. Mows "Oh it's my hunky mustache hunk! What are you doing here?"

"You're Ms. Mows! So you were making noises inside this room?" Yoshi asked.

"Sorry for not helping you but I didn't made even the smallest sound in this room, a treasure hunter needs to be silent on his actions!" Ms. Mows said denying their question "Anyway, I found already what I was looking for." She jumps close to Mario.

"(Here we go again...)" Mario thought in his mind and Ms. Mows kisses him.

"I almost forgot my sweet...this arena holds many secrets, you know. You should be very careful, lest you end up like the poor souls uptairs. So bye sweeties! Say hello to that yellow handsome mouse for me! We shall meet again!" Ms. Mows said leaving the room.

"Poor souls uptairs? What does that means?" Chris wondered.

And Mario receives another e-mail from X.

fInD tHe StAiRcAsE sWiCtH tO rEaCh ThE aTtIc.

From X.

"There is a staircase switch around here? But I only see boxes in this room!" Yoshi said looking around.

"I think we should end this investigation, darn it! We were so clos-" Falco kicks one of the boxes but he notices something odd in them "Huh?" He kicks the box again "Something's wrong with this box, it doesn't makes a sound inside."

Chris sticks his ear to one box and he knocks it a little "This isn't a box! It's a block beneath!"

"Ooh! I know who to call!" Mario said and he makes Yoshi disappear and he replaces him with a huge woman-cloud thing with...ugh, what did I rated this story T? With...boobs.

"Oh Mario sweetie, for what did you called me for?" She asked.

"Flurrie, can you please shoot air to those boxes?" Mario asked pointing to the fake boxes.

"Alright dear, make air from me!" Flurrie said and Mario starts to make air through Flurrie and she makes the boxes "flip", revealing that in reality, there were yellow blocks! "Ok, my job is done!" Flurrie said leaving and Yoshi again comes from Mario.

"...Mario, did I ever told you that you have weird partners?" Falco asked confused. Mario started to break the yellow blocks and after a while, he found a blue switch with an exclamation mark inside and he stomps the switch, and a staircase appears in the room leading to the attic.

"I just love when things like that happens! Let's go!" Chris said climbing the staircase and they follow him.

Attic

"Just like old-mysteries stories, there is ALWAYS something odd in the attic." Chris said looking around "And look over there! A huge yellow block is blocking something behind those boxes!"

"Another room with a lock." Yoshi said looking to his right, there was a door with a lock on it just close to the staircase.

They went to the left side of the room and Mario smashes the huge yellow block, revealing a ventilation duct below.

"Maybe there is something inside the duct, let's go inside." Fox suggested and they enter inside the duct.

Attic's Ventilation Duct

"Apart that this place is too small, there is nothing else in this duct." Falco said.

"Wait, there is a hole with light over there." Yoshi said finding a hole with light.

"Isn't that hole just above Grubba's office?" Chris asked and Mario looks through it.

"It is, Jolene is inside talking to him." Mario wispered and they sticked their ears on the duct to hear the conversation of the 2.

Grubba's Office (Still fancy)

"...So you didn't find hide or hair of nobody in the storage room, that what yer sayin'? Grubba asked.

"Yes. Mr. Grubba. It appeared to be secure." Jolene said "Don't worry about it, sir. I've taken necessary precautions. It was likely just a rat or something."

"(But Ms. Mows said she didn't made a sound!)" Yoshi thought.

"Well, no big deal either way. Ain't nothin' in there we'd miss too much anyway." Grubba said "Thanks fer stayin' on top of this, Jolene. Hey, an' by the way, any word on King K?" He asked.

"(Well, he said he was retiring soon, right?)" Fox asked in his mind.

"I'm afraid we still don't know the whereabouts of King K, Mr. Grubba." Jolene said.

"(Are they spying him or something?)" Mario thought.

"And so....I deleted his post on our roster per regulations. The Glitz Pit no longer has any official connection to KP Pete, a.k.a, King K." Jolene said continuing "I have, of course, taken the same steps with all fighters who have gone missing."

"(Wait, missing?)" Yoshi thought asking in his mind.

"Hoo, fighters have sure been goin' missin' a lot lately! That's the eleventh this year!" Grubba said surprised.

"(Eleventh? Then he counted our friends too?)" Chris thought confused.

"What in tarnation's goin' on? I even heard some security ijit sayin' the Pit's cursed!" Grubba said.

"I doubt that, sir, but I certainly don't understand the disappearances." Jolene said.

"(Us neither)" All of them thought in unison.

"Well, fer the time bein', tell the other fellas that King K. headed on home for a spell." Grubba said "If word gets out about missin' fighters, it sure ain't gonna be good for business, no siree! Nasty rumors have a way of sendin' folks runnin' to the hills, know what I mean?" He asked.

"A think that's it." Falco wispered.

"Wait, there is more." Chris wispered back.

"I understand completely, Mr. Grubba. I'll take care of everything, sir." Jolene said and she walked towards the door, but Grubba says something to her.

"Y'know, Jolene...yer a dang fine manager, but you just plumb disappear sometimes...I gotta know! Where in the world do you go, darlin'?" Grubba asked.

"The girl's bathroom, duh!" Chris wispered and they chuckled a little bit.

"Uh...th-that's...Mr Grubba, I know you're my boss, but I don't believe that's any of your business." Jolene said.

"Easy! Didnt' mean to pry, now! How 'bout this, then...Heard of the Crystal Star?" Grubba asked grinning.

"(That's what we wanted to hear about!)" Yoshi thought.

Jolene gasps a little "! N-no...I've never heard of such a thing, Mr. Grubba."

"Okeydoke, well, I 'preciate yer time, Ms. Jolene. You go ahead an' run along, now, y'hear?" Grubba suggested and Jolene nods, leaving the office, but then, Grubba starts to talk to himself "Well, if this ain't a fine how-do-you-do! Seems like good fighters are a dyin' breed. That wild child Gonzales and his group are just about the only draw I still got 'round here."

"(Is he considering us like his enemies?)" Fox thought.

"Whoa, Gonzales! WHOA! Did you hear that?!" Yoshi asked.

"We know, fighters are going missing, and surely Pikachu, Pichu, Pit, Ness, Lucas and Lucario are one of them too." Chris said.

"What in the hey?! Dang ceilin's is spookin' me! HEY! Somebody up there?" Grubba asked sweating a little after hearing some voices coming from the roof.

"Errhh..." Falco cawked.

"...Hoo, nelly! Just a little ol' bird...Here I am, thinkin' someone's up there a-peepin'! I gotta relax...take some yoga classes or somethin'...Yep. Well, back to the ring!" Gruuba said wiping out his sweat and he leaves to the arena.

"Phew, we almost got caught by him, that was SO close!" Chris said sighing in relief.

"Grubba appears to know something about the Crystal Star after all." Fox said.

"Don't forget about Jolene, she was nervous after hearing about the star too." Falco said.

"I'm tired of this, let's return to our locker room to fight againts the next opponent before somebody finds us here!" Yoshi said and they found another way out of the duct, they enter and falls inside the storage room, then they head to their locker room.

Major-League Locker Room

"Are you serious Fox?" Chris asked.

"Yes, I'm going to find more about the disappearances around here." Fox said.

"And I'll go with him to be secure." Falco said.

"...Fine, but be EXTRA careful this time, you hear me?" Chris asked and they nodded, but just as they were about to leave...

"Hey Fox, you're running away from me?" It was Wolf who was leaned to the wall with crossed arms.

"He's definitely not running away from you, we're worried about the others who disappeared investigating the whereabouts about the bomb you brought here!" Chris said.

"I'm not a suspect if you're thinking that way."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Wolf looked at Chris with a glare "I don't have anything to do about all those mysterious disappearances."

"Lah dee dah, Master Wolf is right!" Poppant said singing.

"But if you Fox, run away from our match, I'll never forgive you and I'll kill your entire team."

Chris was now worried, Fox was a little scared about that match with Wolf and the Koopinator, could he fight Wolf's strategy?

"I promise, I won't run away." Fox said smiling a bit.

"(What? He was scared a while ago!)" Chris thought.

Wolf smirked "It's settled then, don't let me down...or else."

Fox and Falco left the room.

"...Great, I don't have a partner to fight now." Chris muttered to himself.

"Not-a problem!" Mario said and he used Earth Tremor, they jumped above the star and it started to grow to its maximum size and it caused various quakes in the stage, the Red Chomps received 6 of damage and they were defeated,

" WE GOT OURSELVES A WINNER, THE GREAT GONZALES!!!" Grubba announced excited and the crowd goes wild.

"Who's threating us with these e-mails? It's Rawk Hawk?" Chris asked confused, but he shook his head "No, I don't care who sent us this, but whoever is him, we're going to take him down no matter what with Fox and Fal-" His heroic speech was interrupted because Falco came from the door panting.

"Guys! Fox is missing!" Falco said.

"Wonderful! That counts 7 now!" Chris said angrily, not believing that they just lost almost all their teammates.

"You're kidding me right?! I told Fox to not get missing!" Wolf said angrily.

"It wasn't my fault! He went towards the ring when nobody was there and I went to the lobby, but after checking the ring, he was gone and I returned here to give the news!" Falco said.

"That does it! I order all of you to find him so we can start our match!" Wolf demanded with a glare "I've been waiting for this opportunity to happen in this day!"

"We haven't reached the second rank yet you know." Chris said.

"Then hurry up!"

Out of a cue, Mario received another e-mail.

rEmOvE tHe GrEaT gOnZaLeS pOsTeRs In ThE lObBy.

From X.

"You heard him, let's go!" Yoshi said and Mario, him, Chris and Falco left the room.

"There you go again, running away from your matches!" Wolf said angrily.

"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Chris yelled from the back hallway and Wolf grunted at this.

Lobby

A lot of Mario posters were sticked to the walls.

"Is there any poster with me on it?" Falco asked and Chris frowned at this. They started to peel off the posters from the walls and they didn't found anything behind them.

"Are we going to be put in jail for doing this?" Chris asked worried.

Finally, after pulling off the last poster and key fell from behind and it was another storage key.

"Another key? For what could it be for?" Yoshi asked to himself and another e-mail came to Mario.

gO tO tHe SeCoNd FlOoR oF tHe StOrAgE rOoM.

From X.

"There was a door with a lock on the attic right?" Chris asked and Mario remembered the door with the lock back at the attic and they headed to the storage room.

Attic

"Now open it!" Yoshi said and Mario opened the door, they entered to another different area with another huge yellow block blocking something.

Mario smashed the block with his Super Hammer and Chris takes a look of what was hiding behind it, but...

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" He yelled terrified after finding the most horrible thing his eyes could ever let him see.

"Chris! What's wrong?!" Falco asked from the other side.

"F-FALCO! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T COME OVER HERE! IT COULD BE TOO PAINFUL FOR YOU!" Chris yelled from the other side.

"What are you talking about?!"

"JUST GO AWAY AND DON'T COME!"

"For wha...oh...my....GOD!" Falco's eyes widened a lot, from the other side of the block, they found King K, Bandy Andy and for their surprise...Fox...and what was the scary thing? They were crushed on the floor moaning in extreme pain!

"My......body......" Fox managed to say.

"FOX! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Chris asked crying.

"Don't....go...near....the....ring....when....nobody....is....there....ugh...." Bandy Andy managed to say.

"This is outrageous! Who did this to you Fox?! You must tell me who!" Falco demanded.

"...I...couldn't...see....but...I...saw...somebody...huge....crushing....my....body....from...behind...then...I...woke...up...here...ugh..." Fox said.

"We have to take them back to the locker room to recover!" Mario said grabbing Bandy Andy, Yoshi put King K. on his back and Chris and Falco carried Fox, after crossing some boxes, there was somebody hiding behind the door but he escaped quickly after they saw him.

"Hey, wasn't that Jolene? What was she doing here?" Yoshi asked.

"Worry about that later, we have to reach the room now!" Chris said while carrying Fox with Falco's help.

Major-League Locker Room

They took the injured above the benches and Chris and Falco put Fox above the bed, then Chris quickly hugged Falco.

"It's my fault...why did he had to suffer like that?! Why?!" Chris asked crying above Falco's shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself please, it's obviously not your fault." Falco said patting Chris's back.

"But it was originaly my idea to investigate the Glitz Pit and they offered themselves to help, but they slowly disappeared one by one and we don't know where are the others!"

"What is the meaning of this?!" Wolf asked enraged after seeing Fox extremely injured above the bed "Who did this to him?! Answer my question!"

"W-we don't know!" Chris responded crying.

"Get a hold of yourself kid!" Wolf demanded.

"I...I just can't!"

"Grr, my opportunity to defeat Fox in battle was taken away by somebody else instead of me...WHATEVER! I challenge you to defeat me!" Wolf said pointing at Chris.

"B-but why me?"

"I hear you saying that it was your fault that Fox was injured investigating the whereabouts of your missing companions, so I'm going to finish you off!"

"Easy there Wolf! Chris isn't the culprit of this problem!" Falco said glaring at Wolf.

"Shut up bird brain!"

Falco approached to Wolf "What was that?!"

"Bird brain!"

"Argh! I had enough of your mouth!" Falco said clenching his fists.

"What are you waiting for?! Hit me if you dare!" Wolf said taunting Falco.

"STOOOOOOOOOOP!" Chris yelled at the top of his lungs and both rivals looked at him surprised "Stop right now! I'm so sad after finding Fox in a state like this and you 2 are just worsening everything up!"

"Who is going to tell me what to d-" Wolf was suddenly grabbed by the throat by Chris "Get...your...filthy...hands...off...me!"

"If you really want to fight me so badly, so be it! But you'll have to wait until we reach the second rank so wait for us!" Chris said furiously and Wolf was left speechless for 10 seconds.

"...I like your style kid." Wolf said when Chris got his hands off him "I admire your guts to challenge me like that."

"...Really? Well, I was so furious right now." Chris said rubbing his back embarrased.

"I consider your menace worthy of a opponent like Fox does." Wolf said grinning.

"...Since when did you 2 were friends?" Falco asked confused.

"Shut up bird brain, he's even more worth fighting than you are."

"Hey, Gonzales, Jolene brought another cake to you, from another fan, I guess." Dark Koopatrol said pointing to another cake above the same wooden pedestal.

"This should recover Fox in a sinch for sure!" Chris said grabbing the cake and he walks towards Fox and opens his mouth "Now open wide!" He said dropping the entire cake inside Fox's mouth.

A moment of silence soon followed.

"...GUH!" Fox was grabbing his throat and his face turned to an unusual violet color before fainting.

"That cake had poison on it!" Falco said.

"I just killed Fox by accident!" Chris said grabbing his hair.

"...I take back my words, you're worthless kid." Wolf said walking away.

"Great, now we need to get a cure or an antidote for Fox!" Chris said.

"That'll be not necessary, the poison is going to worn-off in an hour, he needs to rest." Falco reasured.

"Thank goodness..."

[DededeCloneChris]

Arena

VS The Koopinator

Don't use your jump

Mario: HP 25
Yoshi: HP 10
Chris: HP 30
Falco: HP 30

"And the Spike Shield badge was going to be useful for this time, I'll use this!" Mario said using Power Smash on the Dark Koopatrol, dealing 2 of damage.

"Gimme a break Gonzales! This guys isn't hard to beat!" Yoshi said walking over The Dark Koopatrol and he eats him and spat out dealing 4 of damage.

"Glad I can help!" Chris said using Force Palm on his enemy dealing 4 of damage "Wait, it doesn't paralyzes the enemy, it's a defense piercer! Now Falco, use fire on him!"

"Gotcha!" Falco said as he was surrounded by fire, after 5 seconds, he was launched at full speed towards the Dark Koopatrol dealing 8 of damage (And doing a somersault in the air while returning to his position).

The Dark Koopatrol started to stomp the floor and he ran after Mario with his spike of his helmet directed to him, Mario couldn't defend because he was faster than him and he received 5 of damage.

"Mario! Are you alright?" Chris asked worried.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" Mario reasured using a Thunder Bolt and the thunder came above the Dark Koopatrol dealing 5 of damage.

"And now for the final blow!" Yoshi said using a POW Block, the block appeared on the center and Yoshi hits the block from below causing a tiny quake enough to defeat the Dark Koopatrol with 2 of damage.

"THE WINNER IS THE GREAT GONZALES!!!" Grubba announced once again.

"That means we're on the second rank now!" Chris said.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario a better salary and she leaves, their rank was now 2nd.

"Finally, we can settle this." Wolf said.

"Wait just a moment please." Chris asked as he changed his job for the Space Mercenary (For those who forgot about this job, is the job with the same abilities as Fox's skills) "There, I'll fight using this."

"Changing your clothes doesn't changes anything."

Chris took out his own Blaster "I think my little friend says the contrary!"

"Heh, we shall see that."

Arena

"In the left corner, The Great Gonzales makes his stand with his team!" Grubba announced.

"We're going to win!" Yoshi said.

"On the right corner, the Grey Vulpine is preparing for battle!"

"Stop calling me like that!" Wolf demanded angrily.

"Lah dee dah, obey Master Wolf's demand!" Poppant said singing.

"Get yerself ready...TO BATTLE!!!" Grubba yelled on the mic and the scene changes to the theater.

Fatalize

VS Wolf

Appeal at least once

Mario: HP 20
Yoshi: HP 10
Chris: HP 30
Falco: HP 30

"Hey! Wolf acted before he could take his turn! Not fair!" Chris said as Wolf was already a giant.

"You're going down kid!" Wolf said in a deep voice.

"If Fox was here to help us to defeat Wolf..." Chris muttered to himself.

For this fight, Mario used the Peekaboo badge to know about Wolf's HP.

"What? He has over 50 HP!" Mario said surprised.

"No way!" Chris said.

"But we can't lose this fight!" Mario used Power Smash on Wolf but he dealt only 1 of damage "And his defense is of 3!"

"Darn it, that wasn't an ordinary Power Punch then!" Yoshi said.

"Even though, I can pierce any defense with...Force...Palm..."

Normal Attack
Reflector FP 3

"Shoot! I don't have many attacks in this job!" Chris said in shock.

"Hey Pedro! Isn't your turn yet, it's my turn!" Yoshi protested.

"Oh, right, I forgot, go on please." Chris said embarrased and Yoshi used Gulp, he was somehow able to eat the whole body of Wolf and he spat him out towards the Poppant dealing 4 of damage.

"Daaah! That hurts Master Wolf!" Poppant complained.

"Shut up you twerp." Wolf said.

"I'll use my normal attack!" Chris said standing in front of the big Wolf charging his attack, then he was moved towards Wolf with a strong kick dealing 3 of damage and he returned to his position "It's all yours Falco!"

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Falco said using Fire Falco and he dealt 5 of damage to Wolf.

"Now die!" Wolf yelled and he was moved with great speed using his claw attacking the whole group dealing 10 of damage...wait, 10 of damage?

"ARGH! Gonzales, avenge me..." Yoshi said fainting.

"YOSHI!" Mario yelled.

"Lah dee dah, Master Wolf, take this please!" Poppant said throwing a Ultra Mushroom to Wolf, who recovered his damage in an instant.

"This is unfair! We were so close to beat him if it weren't for that Primid!" Falco complained.

"In that case, let's defeat that Primid first! Besides, he has only 16 HP!" Mario said jumping above Wolf and stomping above Poppant using Power Bounce, Mario was able to deal 9 of damage to him and he returned.

"Daaaahhh! Master Wolf, do something!" Poppant said in pain.

"Ugh, I can't! Something is preventing me to move from my place!" Wolf said.

"Hahaha! It's because of the Game Engine! You can't do anything unless your turn comes!" Chris said laughing a little.

"Damm you Game Engine!!!" Wolf shouted angrily (Making half of the audience to flee away scared).

"(But I can't attack that Primid because Wolf is blocking the way to frontal attacks, Ugh, what should I do?)" Chris asked in his mind and suddenly, he glowed and learned a new ability!

Normal Attack
Reflector FP 3
Chris Illusion FP 4

"Even though my name it's part of a name of this attack, it sounds stupid in reality, really." Chris admitted with an anime drop on his head "Still, I'm going to use this!" He said walking towards Wolf and he prepared his attack in his mind, but he was able to do 4 slashes without damaging Wolf because of his defense "It's on the ropes Falco, don't fail!"

"Leave it to me!" Falco said selecting Falco Illusion and he concentrated his mind to not fail, fortunately, Falco managed to make 5 consecutive attacks in a row, and Poppant was defeated and he disappeared.

"Master Wolf, forgive me!!!" Poppant said before vanishing.

"THAT'S IT!" Wolf yelled angrily and he used his Fire Wolf attack to deal massive damage of 14 HP with his foot to the entire group and Mario was in peril with only 1 HP left.

"This...is...impossible...I...need to...use...Sweet Treat!" Mario said casting the Magical Map and the 7 Crystal Stars came from it and they flew above the scenery, stars appeared on Mario's hands and he started to launch them to hearts with the faces of his team to recover their injures, Mario was concentrating his aim carefully to not touch any Poison Mushroom and at the end, he managed to shoot down all the hearts and flowers and they recovered 8 HP in total.

"Gotcha!" Chris said and he learned the next ability!

Normal Attack
Reflector FP 3
Chris Illusion FP 4
Fire Chris FP 8

"Sounds stupid!" Chris said.

"How come that attack is the last of your list?" Falco asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean it's the third attack on my list but why did you have it at the end?"

"Hmm...maybe because it deals more damage...let me try it!" Chris stepped in front of Wolf and fire started to come below his body "FIRE!" He shouted lauching towards Wolf colliding with his body, dealing a damage of 7 since Wolf's defense was of 3 "Cool! That was awesome!" Chris remarked smiling.

"I'll get you for this!" Wolf said grabbing his body in pain.

"Let's continue this assault! FIRE!" Falco said using Fire Falco on Wolf and he received 8 of damage.

"Wait, your attack pierces defense then!" Mario said.

"Here he comes!" Chris warned as Wolf charged his claw attack again, this time however, Mario used a Superdodge just in time and Wolf received 1 of damage and he returned to his position.

"ARGH! STOP COUNTERING MY ATTACKS!" Wolf yelled angrily but suddenly, his body was starting to shrink and he returned to his normal size "No! This can't be! My power is gone!"

"And so does your insane defense!" Mario said and he used Power Smash on Wolf dealing 6 of damage and he did 4 backflips while returning to his place and the crowd goes wild.

"(Huh? What's this? My mind is telling me something....)" Chris said in his mind.

"(Chris? It's that you?)"

"(Falco! How did you get inside my mind?)"

"(I could ask you the same thing)"

"(Well, my mind was telling me something about a combinated attack with both of us)"

"(Strange, I was thinking that too)"

"(Hmm, how about if we combinate our fire attacks into one?)"

"(Sounds good to me!)"

"Alright, let's get this started!" Chris said and he and Falco jumped high in the air and they stopped in mid-air, preparing their attacks with fire, when they were ready, they went towards Wolf colliding with a burning attack in unison "DOUBLE FIRE!!!" Both said in unison and Wolf received a combinated damage of 20, then they made a somersault in the air and Falco lands first then Chris lands above Falco but he moves Chris to his right and both return to their positions.

New ability learned! Double Fire!

An attack in which 2 persons use the same attack with fire and crash their attack to their opponent, dealing great fire damage

"Ugh, how could you 2?!" Wolf cursed and he decided to attack them with his own illusion attack, but Mario uses a Superdodge and Wolf's attack fails again.

"And now for the final blow!" Mario said jumping above Wolf and uses Power Bounce once again and he manages to deal 9 of damage and finally, Wolf falls defeated.

"I...must...know...your...power...kid..." Wolf said before fainting.

They receive 18 Star Points and Mario's level goes up! He decides to increase his HP to 30 and recovers all his FP lost in the match.

"WE GOT OURSELVES A WINNER...THE GREAT GONZALES!!!" Grubba announced to the crowd and they go wild.

"That was hard, but we were able to win!" Mario said.

Major-League Locker Room

Jolene gives Mario his salary and she leaves, then their rank roses up to 1, meaning that they can challenge Rawk Hawk for the Champ's title.

"I couldn't believe that attack we made together in that fight! I was feeling a strong power inside me!" Chris said amazed.

"For the first time ever, I did a combinated attack with you, that was very impressive!" Falco said.

"(Wait, I need to check out my DS first...hmm...wow!)"

Fox: 85

Falco: 100

"(N-no way! Now Falco trusts me completely! I'm so...so...)"

"Chris, it's something wrong?" Falco asked.

Chris hides his DS and he looks at Falco, sweating "No no no! I'm fine, thanks for asking! (Then what Master Hand told me was true)"

Flashback

"Of course! Well, your job is to unlock all the abilities and raise the levels to their maximum intervals, after that...something good will happen..."

"What?" Chris asked again.

"Maybe an attack combined with you and another Smasher working in perfect synch or making your partner stronger than he actually is by launching a devastating attack, basically, you make combined Final Smashes...but not now, you need to work hard in your battles if you want to discover those special powers."

End of flashback

"(But what if he didn't said that there are more combined attacks with just one partner? I don't know why but I think there is more than just this attack, but how can I discover it?)" Chris thought confused.

"Hey kid." Wolf was standing behind Chris.

"Oh great, what do you want now?" Chris asked annoyed.

"I'll join you." Wolf said.

"What?!" Falco asked surprised "Why do you want to join us?!"

"I want to find that person who took away the opportunity to defeat Fox from me, however, I won't follow you after we defeat him though."

Mario blinked in confusion "Well...what do you think Chris?"

"...I say let him in!"

"Are you kidding me Chris? He's only but trouble! There is a reason of why he has a large bounty on his head in Corneria!" Falco said angrily.

"And tell me, why in the hell the police or your team always let Wolf go away?" Chris crossed his arms "Something tells me that Fox always forgets that part everytime they fight againts the other!"

"Errhh...well...when you put that in that way..."

"The kid has a point bird brain." Wolf said.

"Just one condition." Chris said.

"What?"

"You're going to call us for our names, I'm so sick of hearing kid coming from you everytime you call me."

"Ugh, fine k-k-k-k-k-"

"...Why is your mouth twitching?"

"K-k-k-k-C-C-C-C-C-"

"Oh please, don't tell me you can't say a name besides Fox or your team?"

"Look! I can do that! It's so easy C-C-C-C-C-"

".....-_-.....You're totally hopeless Wolf."

"And so you are, C-C-C-C-C-"

"OH STOP IT! CALL ME KID IF YOU WANT! I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE!"

NEWCOMER!
Wolf has joined your team temporaly!

Mario was already reserving the match againts Rawk Hawk and he waited for the guard to come in.

"Gonzales, come with me." The guard came from the door calling Mario and his team.

"Yoshi, I hope you don't mind if Wolf replaces you." Mario said.

"Ah, don't worry Gonzales, I understand, besides, I need to rest a little." Yoshi said disappearing in Mario and they walk outside the room.

Back Hallway

The guard walks to the left "Hey! Where are you going? The ring is in the other side!" Chris called.

"This is a special match and you need to enter another area, sorry, regulations." The guard said walking away with the group following him.

"Something fishy is going on here..." Chris muttered to himself "Wait, Wolf, you know where is the bomb you brought right?"

"I don't know anything about the bomb." Wolf responded bluntly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I came here just for the desire to defeat Fox, even if it costed my appearance as you may have noticed, the bomb was dropped somewhere in this city without me knowing it."

"Originally, you weren't included in this world to invade right?" Falco asked and Wolf nodded.

"You can say that, I act on my own most of the time."

"But then, why did you joined the Primids?"

"Because it was the only way to track Fox down. And another thing, my superiors are sick of you calling them the Primids, we're the Subspace Army."

"The Subspace Army...that sounds...good?"

"That's right kid."

"We're here." The guard said in front of a door and they enter inside.

Minor-League Locker Room #2

"Wait, this is the minor league room! What's happening?" Mario asked confused, when they turned their heads to the door, the guard disappeared locking the door with them inside.

"Get us out of here!" Chris said trying to open the door "It's no use! I can't open this thing!"

"Out of the way!" Wolf said charging at the door with his shoulder, but after crashing, Wolf was pushed back in the floor and he got up "They reinforced the door from outside, we can't get out!"

"Oh no, the match is going to start in any minute now!" Mario said.

Arena

Rawk Hawk was already entering the ring while many of his fans were cheering him.

"Our champ, Rawk Hawk is now here right in front of yer eyes! But what's this?! The Great Gonzales isn't here yet!" Grubba said grinning.

"I'll tell you why he is not here! Because he ran away to his house crying with his mommy for not challenging the RAWWWWWKKKKK!!!" Rawk Hawk said yelling and the crowd goes wild.

"Hoo hoo hoo! Good speech there buddy! The question is, where is exactly The Great Gonzales?!" Grubba asked excited.

Minor-League Locker Room #2

"What now? We can't go outside...that's it, we lose this tournament." Chris said.

"Don't give up yet, there's gotta be something here with some kind of secret passage!" Falco said looking around.

"Like that poster of the princess without crown?" Wolf asked pointing to a poster of Peach without her crown.

"What is a poster of Peach doing here?" Mario asked and he touched the poster "Huh? I can't feel any wall behind it." He pressed his hand on the poster and he made a hole.

"Mario! You did it! You found a secret passage!" Falco said pulling the poster off, revealing a secret passage as he said before.

"Whatever it has inside, it must be more interesting than this dump, move on!" Wolf said walking inside the passage and they followed him, they found a small TV in front of a mini table but there was a door leading to who-knows-where and they entered.

Major-League Locker Room #2

"Another major league room? Why is this place without participants?" Chris asked.

Falco tried to open the door but he couldn't do it "No good, this one is locked too."

"Mario, where are you going?" Chris asked glancing at Mario entering the bathroom of the room "Oh, I see, gotta do what you need to do right?"

"...Huh? What's this?" Mario asked inside the bathroom and he got out "Guys, there is a pipe leading to another place in this bathroom!"

"A pipe? You don't mean...the toilet right?" Falco asked disgusted and Mario nodded "...Okay, it's our only way to get out from this place..." He said entering the bathroom with Chris and Wolf.

"And I thought I'd never enter the same bathroom with 3 other persons." Chris said as they entered inside the toilet and were taken away inside the pipe, it took them through the back hallway below the floor until they reached the other side.

Major-League Locker Room

They appeared inside the bathroom of the first major league room.

"Ugh, traveling inside a pipe isn't my style." Wolf said disgusted.

"C'mon! We have to go to our match!" Falco said exiting the bathroom and they got out of the room, but Chris saw Fox in the bed and he wispered something to him.

"I'll find that idiot who made you this, I promise!"

[DededeCloneChris]

Arena

"...Huh?! Whuzzat?! The Great Gonzales is here folks!!!" Grubba announced as Mario, Chris, Falco and Wolf walked to the ring while their fans cheered them.

"GO, JUMPMAN!"

"Isn't that the Grey Vulpine?!"

"YOU'RE AWESOME!"

"MARRY ME!"

"This is the battle for the ages ladies an' gentlemens! Who will win in this clash of powers?! The Great Gonzales?!" Grubba asked excited pointing to Mario "Or the undefeated powerhouse, Rawk Hawk?!" He pointed to Rawk Hawk who crossed his arms "GET YERSELF READY...TO BAAAATLE!!!"

Suddenly from nowhere, Shadow Bugs came appearing from the center of the stage and they cover Rawk Hawk's body completely "ARGH! GET THIS THINGS OFF ME OR YOU WILL GET RAWKED!" Rawk Hawk said.

"Hey Grubba! Stop this math, he needs help!" Mario said but Grubba ignored him "Grubba! Listen to me!"

"(Heh, Gonzales is so predictable...)" Grubba thought evily in his mind.

The Shadow Bugs took Rawk Hawk's body and he glowed in a purple aura, then he starts to yell "RAAAAAAWWWWWWKKKKKKKK!!!!!" And suddenly, he starts to grow the double of his size!

"What the-those Shadow Bugs are making him stronger!" Chris said in shock.

"When the time comes, just act kid." Wolf said as he was preparing to fight againts Rawk Hawk.

"You mean, now?" Chris asked.

VS Dark Rawk Hawk

Don't use items on this fight

Rawk Hawk

Mario: HP 30
Chris: HP 30
Falco: HP 30
Wolf: HP 50

"RAAAAWWWWWKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" Yelled Dark Rawk Hawk furiously, his HP was of 60.

"Just shut up already!" Chris complained.

"Let's-a go!" Mario said doing a Power Jump on Dark Rawk Hawk, only to deal 1 of damage "His defense is of 5?!" He asked surprised.

"No problem! Leave it to me Mario!" Chris said using Fire Chris on Dark Rawk Hawk, dealing 5 of damage.

"Let me pierce his defense!" Falco said using Fire Falco, piercing Dark Rawk Hawk's defense and doing 8 of damage.

"Heh, bring it on." Wolf said grinning.

Normal Attack
Reflector FP 3
Fire Wolf FP 6
Wolf Illusion FP 7

Wolf used his Normal Attack, which was a simple claw atack that pierces the defense of his opponent and he deals 5 of damage to Dark Rawk Hawk.

"RAAAAAAWWWWWKKKKKK!!!" Dark Rawk Hawk yelled furiously and he starts to spins in the air jumping above each member doing 15 of damage and he returns to his position.

"He's so strong...I already lost the half of my HP and we can't use items either...so let me use Sweat Treat!" Mario said calling forth the power of the Magical Map and he starts to launch stars at the recovery icons, he failed sometimes, but he gets 8 recovery hearts for each one of them.

"Let's use our combination attack Falco!" Chris said.

"...Right, how did we did that again?" Falco asked confused.

"What do you mean? We...umm...well...we..."

"Don't tell me you forgot how to use that combination now!" Mario said.

"(In a moment like this? It's time to use that attack again but why we can't use it?...Maybe...it has something to do with pressure that we were under pressure that time...)" Chris thought in his mind "I can't use that attack now, there is only one way to defeat that monster and that is with our normal abilities!" He said using Fire Chris once again, dealing 5 of damage.

Falco used Fire Falco again, piercing through his defense and dealing 8 of damage, Wolf used Fire Wolf and he dealt a strong downward kick dealing 4 of damage "It's better if I use my Normal Attack!" Wolf said cursing under his breath.

"RAAAAAAAWWWWWWKKKKKKK!!!!!" Dark Rawk Hawk lifted one finger to the roof and then, he made a backflip and he touched the wall with his foots and then, he crossed his arms and blasted fastly towards Mario dealing massive damage of 30 and Mario falls defeated.

"MARIO!" Chris yelled preocupied "You're gonna pay for that!" He said glaring at Dark Rawk Hawk "Wait, don't tell me we need to spam our fire attacks again and again?"

"Afraid so." Falco said.

"Ugh, I hope poeple out there don't get mad at me or something, fire!" Chris was sent colliding with Dark Rawk Hawk dealing 5 of damage "Now as our unthinkable and annoying strategy goes, use it Falco!"

"Fire!" Falco was surrounded by fire once again dealing 8 of damage "Our FP is depleted!"

"That doesn't matter!" Wolf said sending another claw attack dealing 5 of damage.

"RAAAAAAAWWWWWWKKKKK!!!!"

"Does this guy ever shut up?" Falco complained, then Dark Rawk Hawk stomped the floor and part of the scenery's stage goes down from above slowly, the big adversary hung into the iron bar and he starts to shake it and objects starts to fall above the group.

"AAHHH! How in the-AAAHHH!! STOP I-AAHHH!!" Chris yelled in pain after receiving 14 of damage, Falco received 12 of damage and Wolf received 13 of damage "I...don't have much energy left..."

"But we're so close now!" Falco said panting.

"He is above and we need to use an attack that doesn't jumps but instead crashes since there is a floor above us. If only our FP wasn't depleted...wait, I don't care if we break a rule! This could end our lives if we don't use items!"

"I dunno, but-" Falco was interrupted.

"Falco, may I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Well, of course I trust you!"

"Then trust me in this time, you won't regret it!"

"...Alright, do what you want to do."

Chris smiled "Thank you!" He said as he drinked a Maple Syrup, recovering 10 FP "End this match now!"

"FIRE!" Falco shouted crashing into Dark Rawk Hawk's beak dealing 8 of damage and the big purple hawk stops hanging from the bar and falls on his back above the floor and the Shadow Bugs leaves his body and shrinks instantly.

They received 30 Star Points and greet the audience.

"AMAZING! ASTONISHIN'! THE GREAT GONZALES HAS WON THE VALUABLE AN' HARD-TO-GET CHAMPION'S TITLE! GONZALES?! HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?!" Grubba asked to Mario.

"I...feel like a-"

"HE FEELS LIKE A CHAMPION DUH! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION AN' HIS NAME IS THE GREAT GONZALES!!!!!!" Grubba said ignoring Mario's words and the crowd gives their final big cheer to the team and Mario gives up and salutes them.

"Here's your fight money, Mr. Gonzales." Jolene said giving Mario 20 coins "Mr. Gonzales, if you don't mind, could you please follow me to the champion's room?" She asked adjusting her glasses.

"We did it! We're the champions!" Chris said and he glanced at Fox "Hmm...we should take him with us."

"I'll give you a hand." Falco said.

Champion's Room

"Now here you go." Jolene said giving Mario the Champ's Belt as Chris and Falco put Fox on the bed carefully "From now on, this is where you'll stay. It's your room now, so make yourself at home If you excuse me, I have special business to do, have a nice day Mr. Champion." She said leaving the room.

"After so many fights, we finally reached this room." Chris said "Wait, are we forgetting something?"

"The disappearances?" Falco asked.

"Oh right! I forgot about that!"

"Okay, now what?" Wolf asked.

"Well, we don't have any clue yet of where are they."

"But those spores came right from the center of the stage, that was weird." Falco said rubbing his chin.

"And Grubba didn't do anything after watching the whole thing too." Mario said.

"Hmm..." They said in unison getting in thinking positions.

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"Huh? Where's that voice coming from?" Mario asked looking around the room

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"It's coming from the air vent." Wolf said looking at the air vent from above the closet.

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"The question is.....it's a ghost?!" Chris asked scared a little, then Mario receives another e-mail and he reads it aloud.

fInD tHe GhOsT iN tHe ChAmP's RoOm.

From X.

"There are ghosts in this place too?" Falco asked.

"One way to find out is entering that air vent and discover the "ghost"." Wolf said while looking at the air vent.

"Let's go then." Mario said trying to climb the closet and Chris helps him to climb, then Falco and Wolf does the same and they enter inside the vent.

Air Vent

"Follow the big gray road!" Chris sang looking to the other side of the vent.

"Shh! Shut up and listen to that voice kid!" Wolf wispered angrily, they leaned their ears to the other side of the vent and they heard the voice of Grubba, talking to himself.

Grubba's Office...Fancy!

"Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk! Well, THAT'S in perfect condition, as usual! Yep, as long as I got THAT baby workin' fer me, this ol' bod ain't NEVER gonna get weak!" Grubba said.

"Body? Is he talking about his body?" Chris wispered.

"But I'm gonna have watch my tootsies here fer a little bit...First, I let that King K. ijit walk in on me when I was with...THAT...An' now I can't shake the feelin' that Jolene an' Gonzales' team are onto me..."

"He's starting to act suspiccious now." Falco wispered.

"Well, I guess I'll burn that bridge when the time comes, I'll just disappear 'em! Yep, just like I did to them others...like I did to Prince Mush, the first champ!"

"So he was behind all the disappeared fighters from the beginning!" Mario wispered surprised.

"I better lock this room up tighter 'n a peanut butter jar at a squirrel convention. An' I'll just go ahead an' hide the paper relatin' to THAT in the desk drawer...There we go! Y'know what, though? Since I'm thinkin' aloud here. Good fighters ain't nothin' to mess with. Even Rawk Hawk lost to Gonzales usin' the Shadow Bugs that ol' pal Tabuki...was that his name? Said to me to use 'em on him."

"Wait, Shadow Bugs? Those are the things we saw on the stage? He must know something about the bomb as well!" Chris wispered.

"This new champ might have to disappear purty soon...For my sake..." Grubba said before leaving his office, Mario smashed the vent to open it and they entered the room inspecting the desk drawer to find that paper (Chris found a Star Piece and gave it to Mario), then, they found the paper.

"Hmm...wait, this is a machine hiding under the stage! This is a blueprint of the entire stage!" Falco said.

"Calculations, force divided by 3, there are many equations on this, but look at this part!" Chris pointed to the top of the machine "This is surely the real Crystal Star! This machine sucks up the power out of the people using the Crystal Star! Talk about disgusting!"

"So Fox's energy was drained out then?" Falco asked.

"It seems that way...along with King K. and Bandy Andy too." Chris responded.

Suddenly, Grubba enters the office again and he finds Mario, Chris, Falco and Wolf looking at the paper and they look at him with glares "GREAT GALLOPIN' GULPITS! How in tarnation did YOU get in here, sons? Well, slap me an' call me sassafras! Yer starin' at my secret paper, too!" Grubba said surprised.

"Okay sassafras, you're making me sick now, we know all the things you have been doing around here!" Wolf said.

"Whoa, nelly! This ain't good!" Grubba said scared and he runs away from the office.

"After him! Don't let him get away!" Chris said and they started to chase Grubba.

[DededeCloneChris]

Back Hallway

They lost him in the way when they got out of the office.

"Where'd he go?" Chris asked.

"Probably in the arena." Mario said and they walk towards a guard guarding the left door of the arena.

"Oh, Mr. Grubba? Yes, he went inside, but there aren't any match scheduled now." The guard said stepping out of the way. But first, they prepared their HP and FP to be ready.

Arena

The crowd was gone, the whole area was silent, only Mario, Chris, Falco and Wolf were the only ones inside along with Grubba standing on the center of the platform, grinning evily.

"Okay Grubba, you can stop your plan to suck up the energy of the fighters!" Mario said.

"Like I care Gonzales, drainin' energy from others makes me feel like I'm on the top of an army of bulls! Don't you understand?" Grubba asked grinning.

"You're wrong Grubba, you need to accept your age and be a good business guy!" Chris said.

"Whatever you say it's useless againts me sons! I hope yer lifes were enjoyable before this, because I'm gonna use my machine and the Subspace Bomb!"

"Wait, Subspace Bomb?"

"That's right! That Tabuki guy or whatever his name was made a deal with me, if I finished you like I did with that little furry guy from a while ago, I'd keep the bomb for my own purposes to stay young! Sweet, isn't?"

"So it was YOU!" Wolf said glaring.

"How could you be so stupid? It's a bomb, not a power machine!" Chris said.

"The Subspace Bombs have many secrets son, an' 2 of 'em are spawning Shadow Bugs out and givin' absolute power to his target if it's used correctly, but I dunno if I only have one of a kind." Grubba said as the stage started to shake widly and he falls inside a hole, then a huge yellow machine with the Crystal Star on the top appears with Grubba inside "Hope you enjoy the arena in the heaven sons!"

"You bastard!" Mario said to Grubba.

"Say what you want! I'm gonna use the power of the Crystal Star and the Subspace Bomb to crush yer bones!" Grubba said as he started to grow with a purple aura.

"I won't forgive you for draining Fox's energy!" Chris said.

"Me neither!" Falco said.

When he stopped growing, his body turned into a dark orange color, his shell had spikes on it, an dark orange mohawk on his head and his clothes were small for him "MAAAAAACCHHHHHOOOOOO!!!!" Grubba yelled, now turned into Dark Macho Grubba.

Macho Grubba Battle

"MAAACCCCHHHOOOO!!!!" Dark Macho Grubba yelled.

"Ugh, I hate this kind of people already." Falco said.

Mario: HP 30
Chris: HP 30
Falco: HP 30
Wolf: HP 50

"Since I think he is going to attack us with a powerful attack, Wolf should be in the front because his HP it's high enough to resist." Mario said moving Wolf in the first position "And his HP is of 80? I can't believe-a this." He frowned.

"Stop talking and let's start!" Wolf said using Fire Wolf and was rocketed towards Dark Macho Grubba and he dealt 6 of damage and returned to his place "His defense is of 3 I presume." He said.

"Hmm, this should help us a little!" Chris said using a Courage Shell on Wolf and his defense was raised by 3.

"Good move kid." Wolf said grinning.

"Aww, don't mention it."

"...I didn't asked for your help!"

"...Fine." Chris said frowning.

"Fir-"

"Wait Falco."

"What Chris?"

"Why don't you use your Normal Attack for a change?"

"Hmm...sure..." Falco said walking towards Dark Macho Grubba and he lifts his hands above his head and when it was charged enough, he moved them down quickly dealing 3 of damage "That was useless!"

"Oops, sorry, I think I just wanted to see that attack."

"My turn!" Mario said walking towards you-know-who already and he lifts his hammer above his head, and he was able to deal 4 of damage because he use Piercing Blow.

"At this rate, we're not going to defeat that bulky monster!" Chris said.

"MAAACCCHHHOOOOO!!!" Dark Macho Grubba yelled gaining 2 more attacks each turn.

"HIYAH!" Wolf used his claw attack on Dark Macho Grubba dealing 5 of damage, Chris used his turn to give a Repel Cape to Falco and he became dodgy, then Falco used Fire Falco dealing 8 of damage and Mario used Piercing Blow, dealing 4 of damage.

"MAAACCCHHOOOO!!!!" Dark Macho Grubba yelled increasing his power by 3, then he walked backwards behind him and then, he ran spinning above the stage and the group jumping above each other, but since Falco was dodgy, he fell on the floor and returned to his position cursing in his mind. Wolf received 17 of damage and Chris received 20.

"Now you're fine because I gave you that Courage Shell! At least be thankful!" Chris said to Wolf.

"This is not the time to talk!" Wolf said.

"Wait, what attack besides your Normal Attack pierce defenses?"

"Well, my illusion can, I think."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"..." Wolf smirked "Heh, I think I perfectly do." He walked towards Dark Macho Grubba and he started to slice him down with 9 slashes of his claws and Dark Macho Grubba received 9 of damage in total.

"Good! But I'll look to our FP to keep using special attacks." Chris said keeping an eye of the FP "Now Falco, I know this is getting repetitive, but-"

"Fire!" Falco was already using Fire Falco again on Dark Macho Grubba dealing another 8 and Dark Macho Grubba yells in pain.

"...Oh well, our FP is vital." Chris said.

"Oh wait, I forgot we have this too!" Said Mario taking out a Mr. Softener and making Dark Macho Grubba's defense drops temporaly by 2.

"MMMMMMMAAAAAAACCCCCCHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!" Dark Macho Grubba yelled increasing his defense by 3 and making the Mr. Softener's effect useless and he jumps in the air and crushes Mario dealing 25 of damage.

Without interruptions, Wolf used his illusion dealing 9 of damage.

"25?! That's a lot! I'm sorry but I have to sacrifice this turn by using this Ultra Mushroom!" Chris said giving Mario and green mushroom recovering his damage "No wait, let me say it, fire!" Chris said Falco's words as Falco used his own attack on Dark Macho Grubba dealing 8 of damage.

"It's on the ropes now!" Falco said.

"Charge!" Mario yelled increasing his attack power by 2 using Charge.

"MMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!" Grubba yelled making himself dodgy and he jumps in the air and stomps on Wolf, dealing 25 of damage.

"Wolf, are you alright?" Chris asked a little worried.

"Don't be distracted just because I was damaged!" Wolf replied angrily.

"Very well Wolf, I'll ignore your moans of pain." Chris said.

"I didn't moaned either!"

"Ok fine! But I'll stay recovering your wounds you like it or not!"

"HIYA-what the?!" Wolf missed his attack on Dark Macho Grubba by stopping with 3 jumps behind Dark Macho Grubba and the bulky monster falls on his back crushing Wolf and dealing 30 of damage and Dark Macho Grubba got up "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Wolf yelled in pain.

"Hey! That wasn't suppose to happen!" Chris complained "Wolf! Don't punish me but are you alright?!"

"..." Wolf didn't responded.

"Great, we lost him! Now this is going to be harder to defeat that thing!" Falco said angrily.

"There must be something here to revive Wolf, but..." Suddenly, one of the audience's members holds something above his head and throws it to Chris, it was a Life Shroom "Just what I was looking for! Wolf, even if you're out of cold, catch it!" Chris said throwing the Life Shroom to Wolf's back, the heart-shaped mushroom starts to blink and then, it disappears in tiny lights surrounding Wolf's body and he opens his eyes and returns to his position.

"Hmph, that was a smart move kid." Wolf said with crossed arms.

"It was nothing, thanks to somebody in the audience." Chris said (He didn't saw who threw the Life Shroom, and that person was Luigi for luck).

"Fir-not again!" Falco said crashing his own beak to the floor and Dark Macho Grubba falls on his back above Falco, but..."Not this time!" Falco said using a quick Superdodge dealing 1 of damage to Dark Macho Grubba and protecting himself in the process.

"Charge!" Mario said charging up and increasing more his power to 2.

Dark Macho Grubba did the same yell and he increased his attack by 3, then he walked backwards and ran and jumped spinning above the stage and stomping in Wolf, but he used a Superdodge, stopping Dark Macho Grubba's attack.

"Umm...bad news, we ran out of FP." Chris said.

"Are you kidding me?!" Falco asked in shock.

"Nope, unfortunately, we can only use Normal Attacks and worse yet, we don't have any FP recovering items and the audience always wants to see difficult in these kinds of fights and don't help the main heroes, or us, and if there is a posibility, people who watches or somehow reads our actions in some kind of freaky dimension where nothing fun happens." Chris explained.

"Was the part of the other dimension really necessary?" Mario asked confused.

"Erhm, no, but even worser, out Star Power was completely depleted because that freaking bed on the major league room doesn't recovers Star Power!" Chris said angrily.

"...If you finished your rant to no one on particular, let's continue!" Wolf said snapping out the explanation and he was able to hit Dark Macho Grubba with his claws and dealing 5 of damage "Just 10 more and this nightmare ends..."

"Wait just a second...there is a Power Punch on the inventary!" Chris said taking out the Power Punch.

"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me!" Falco and Wolf said in unison.

"Erhm...sorry, but since Mario is charging up his attacks, he can defeat him with just 2 jumps!" Chris gives Mario the Power Punch and he grows the double of his size.

"Aww! I wanted to be big!" Falco said before using his Normal Attack on Dark Macho Grubba, fortunately, it hits and deals 3 of damage.

"Okay Mario, I know this could be the last move but please, even if Grubba is dodgy and some attacks can miss, DON'T MISS FOR THE LOVE OF CAREER AS A PLUMBER WHO DOESN'T FIX PIPES!" Chris pleaded.

"Okay...but I don't make promises..." Mario said in a deep voice and he jumps above Dark Macho Grubba and the entire stage and audience stops.

"(This is the end! If we fail, we get a free pass to the Game Over screen, nobody wants to live in that place for sure, I mean, a very dark place with the letters G-A-M-E O-V-E-R above their heads while they cry is just painful!)" Chris thought in the stopped time.

"(Fox, if Mario fails at hitting that guy, I swear I'm going to haunt every single plumber in the world in your behest and probably kill them if I'm the right mood)" Falco thought in the stopped time.

"(If you thought I was going to say something stupid as those 2, think again, I'm not an idiot)" Wolf thought to the readers breaking the fourth wall in the stopped time.

Out of nowhere, Merlee the magician appeared on her magic spinning box and she disappeared putting a spell on Mario.

Damage will be increased in this turn!

The big Mario jumped twice on Dark Macho Grubba dealing damage of 11 in each jump, making in total 22 and Dark Macho Grubba moves his arms up and down and then, he falls on his huge belly above the floor giving the group 40 Star Points.

"YAARRGGGGHHHHH!!!" Dark Macho Grubba said defeated and they greet the audience (Wolf, however, howled to the roof).

The Shadow Bugs escapes from Dark Macho Grubba's body and he shrinks to his original size (Still defeated) and the black spores disappear in thin air.

"No...How'd this happen? How could a perfect bod like mine lose to such chubs? Oh...Great...Gonzales...Great fight, there, son. Great fight...Urrrgghhhh...." Grubba said in a weak tone inside the machine, the Subspace Bomb stopped its countdown and nobody noticed it the entire fight.

"Mr. Champion!" Somebody called Mario and the group from behind, they turned their heads to see Jolene standing below the stairs of the arena.

Sad Music

"...No, I mean...Mario..." Jolene said "Please allow me to offer my earnest thanks for defeating that foul Grubba."

"Huh? What do you mean Ms. Jolene?" Chris asked.

"I really have to apologize...I'm so sorry that I had to get all of you involved. But you must understand...I had to learn the truth about this arena by any means." She said.

"Why did you wanted to learn about this anyway?" Falco asked.

"Let me tell you everything...I had a little brother once, by the name of Mush. He'd have done anything for me."

"Mush? I hear that name before...wasn't him the champion of this arena?" Mario asked and Jolene nodded.

"Our family was always poor, so he became a fighter here to support all of us...But he suddenly went missing one day. Our family was inconsolable. I suspected foul play so I got hired as the manager and investigated in secret. As I looked for clues about my brother, I accidentaly saw Mr. Grubba transform. Seeing what I was up againts, I almost gave up hope...and then you appeared. So I decided to secretly guide you." She explained.

"Wait, then that means you were that X person?" Falco asked.

Jolene nodded "Yes...it was me. Once I saw all of you fight, I knew I found the only ones who could challenge Grubba." She said climbing the stairs and walking to the machine were Grubba was dropped inside "Now, sir...No! Not "sir"! Grubba! I want answers, right NOW! What did you do with my precious little brother? You know exactly what I'm talking about! The first champion: PRINCE MUSH!" Jolene asked angrily.

"And what happened to Ness, Lucas, Pikachu, Pichu, Pit and Lucario?" Chris asked angrily too.

"Urrgghhh...Prince Mush...as those 7...they...they...discovered the secret of my...power-suckin' machine...I...had them...disappear...Any which way you look at it...oooog...they ain't around these parts no more." Grubba said in a weak tone.

Upon hearing that, Chris was left speechless and he dropped to his knees "No way...that...can't be...possible..."

"...No!" Jolene yelled "I...suspected as much...Oh, poor, sweet Mush..."

"Wow, talk about depressing, she lost her brother...and we lost them too..." Falco said shaking his head slowly.

"Don't said that! I know they are here somewhere!" Chris said trying to not cry.

"...Huh? Something is happening to that star!" Wolf said pointing to the Crystal Star on top of the machine, it was spinning like crazy making the machine crazy, after some seconds, from it, a toad with the same color for his head and hair as Jolene's except for his blue kenpogi appeared on the floor spinning a little and he looks around.

"Whoa...is this...Am I back in the Glitz Pit?" He asked confused.

"MUSH!!!" Jolene yelled with some tears on her eyes and she walked towards Mush.

"Oh...is that really you, sis? What are you doing here? I...I was...I was just..." Mush trailed off.

"There, there, Mush. It's OK. It's all over...finally..." Jolene said.

"He was inside the Crystal Star? That was...unexpected..." Falco said.

Jolene looks at Mario "Now, Mario...the Crystal Star...is yours..." She said and the Crystal Star falls on the stage and it bounces a little.

"Are you sure you don't mind giving it to me?" Mario asked.

"It's better that you have it...so that nothing like this will ever happen again."

"OK then!" Falco walks towards the star and grabs it "It's ours from now on!"

"F.l.O!!!"

"....Huh? Did anybody else heard that?" Falco asked looking around.

"What?" Mario asked.

"FA..O!!!"

"Those voices."

"I don't hear anything." Mush said.

"FALCO!!!"

"Wait, something is coming from this thing." Falco said glancing at the Crystal Star on his feathered hands.

"Why don't you shake it?" Mario suggested.

"...Well, that will surely not work...but let's give it a try!" Falco said shaking up and down the star, after feeling something moving inside the star, the star made Ness, Lucas, Pikachu, Pichu, Pit and Lucario appear and fall above each other unharmed (But unfortunately Lucario's spike touched Pit's back and he screamed in pain) "What the-guys! You're alright!"

"LUCARIO!!!" Chris screamed preocupied and he ran to Lucario "Lucario! Are you alright?!"

"Chris...is that you?...It's you!" Lucario said jumping from the pile (And they moaned a little in pain) and he landed, kneeled to Chris "Thanks for rescuing me and the others."

Chris gave Lucario an embrace "Oh please, nothing could have been possible if it weren't for the help of...hey, where'd he go?" Chris asked when Wolf was gone from the area.

"Of who?" Lucario asked confused.

"Erhm...of Falco and Mario!" Chris said looking to Falco and Mario, and Falco smiled a little.

"....Grubba!" Jolene said.

"What about him?" Falco asked.

"He is gone!" She said, Grubba took the opportunity to escape from them and they looked around, Grubba was standing to the left door with one hand to the wall.

"Hyuk hyuk hyuk! I'm afraid you lost the chance to get me inside a jail, too bad! I'm leavin' sons and..." A familiar hand with finger-less gloves tapped his shoulder from the right "Huh? What do you-"

PUNCH!

"ARGH!!!" Grubba fell unconscious on the floor and the hand in the glove disappeared and then, the person who punched Grubba on the face appeared.

"It's...a miracle..." Chris said surprised "....FOX!"

"Oh hey guys, what happened?" Fox asked sarcastically with a little smile and Chris and Falco ran to him.

"I can't believe it, you're fine!"

[DededeCloneChris]

"I just needed a rest, that's all." Fox said.

"Listen Fox, I have to apologize to you."

"For what?"

"I dragged you into this mess even if you didn't wanted to visit this world, it was selfish of me...I'm sorry."

"...Well, to tell the truth, I really enjoyed this place."

"...Really?"

"Of course, I had to fight through many enemies like all of us did, if I knew this was going to happen, I could visit this place without second thoughts."

"Oh thank you Fox! That really means so much for me!...Oh, by the way, here is your boot Roy stole from you." Chris gave the boot to Fox.

"Erhm...thanks, I guess....I think you should have this in return, not for the boot for sure." Fox gave to Chris an emblem.

"What's this emblem? It seems familiar."

"That is an emblem of the Star Fox team, it proves that you are an official member."

Chris jumped a little "What? That means I'm a member of your team now?"

Fox nodded "That's right, you earned it."

"...I'll promise I won't lose this." Chris said keeping his emblem on his pocket, then he looked at the Crystal Star "Now to finish with this world, Falco, give Mario the Crystal Star."

"..." Falco didn't responded.

"Falco...give Mario the Crystal Star."

"...Errrh...sorry, but, I want to find that treasure."

"Sorry but Mario will do that, now give him the Crystal Star!"

"No!"

"I said give it!"

"No!"

Chris tried to take the star from Falco's hands "Give it!"

"No!"

"Give it!"

"No!"

"Give it!"

"No!"

"Look! Isn't that Katt?"

Falco looks away "Where?! Is she here too?!" Chris took the Crystal Star from Falco's hands "Hey! You cheated!"

Chris walked towards Mario "The genius always win, sorry!" He looks at Mario "I think this belongs to you Mario!"

After giving the star to Mario, it starts spinning around him until it stops above his head and Mario holds up the star with a different background, and he learns to use Power Lift!

END OF CHAPTER

The curtain closes and text appears on the center.

Mario was able to obtain the third Crystal Star from the mysterious Glitz Pit, with the help of Chris and company, his adventure is getting shorter and shorter, Jolene is now reunited with his lost brother, Mush and everything is now at peace, what does the future holds for Mario? And what for Chris and the others? Only the time will tell...

1 hour later...

Rogueport

Bowser was walking weakly through the streets searching for Kammy Koopa as the citizens were running away scared of him "Ugh, defeated by Mario again? How can the evil king of the koopas fall so low again? GRRR!!" Bowser said stopping the floor in fury.

"Maybe I can help you." A voice said in Bowser's mind and he looks around.

"WHUZZAT?!"

"Bowser, king of the koopas, do you wish to defeat Mario?"

"Well duh! That's so obvious genius!"

"The join my army of the Subspace, you will be a powerful general."

Bowser took out his agenda "Sorry pal, but my agenda is full of things to do." The agenda had this written on it.

The voice frowned to himself "Fine, but remember the deal, you won't be disappointed." The voice said leaving Bowser's mind.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever....HEY! What I was going to do now?" Bowser looks his agenda "KILL MARIO? Oh yeah! It's that time again!" Bowser said smiling and walking away, whistling.

Lobby

"Mario, and everyone, thank you so much for your help, I'll never forget what you done here." Jolene said, the entire group along with Bandy Andy, King K, Prince Mush and Rawk Hawk were there saying good-bye to Mario.

"Hey man, thanks for helping us through all this trouble, if you ever want to fight me again, just come to the minor league room and I'll do it." King K. said.

"Heh, good thing you were here or else I couldn't recover for those injures." Bandy Andy said.

"Gonzales! You showed me what true fighting is all about! From now on, I'll hit the dumbells, vitamins and reclaim my title as a champ without cheating! I'll be waiting for you in the ring!" Rawk Hawk said.

"I think it's time to leave, let's go Mario!" Yoshi said walking outside Mario and the others.

Attractions Area

"Mario, I really enjoyed my time here, but we must leave now becaus-" Chris was interrupted.

"I know, defeat that villain who brought those Shadow Bugs things right?"

"Uh-huh! You understand then?"

"Of course! I won't give up either, I have many people to help me too."

Mario and Chris did a handshake "Well, the blimp is waiting for you 2, have a nice adventure!" He said waving at Mario and Yoshi, who boarded the blimp and they flew away, waving at them inside the blimp.

Falco sighed "There goes my chance to find that treasure."

"Oh cheer up!" Ness said patting Falco's back "You still have us!"

"...How is that going to cheer me up?"

"Okay everyone, time to leave this place." Chris said opening the portal to the mansion "I'm sorry because you couldn't fight with me Lucario."

"No, we can get another chance next time." Lucario reasured.

"You're right, thanks!" Chris said stepping inside the portal with Lucario.

"I wanted to eat a Hot Dog." Pichu said disappointed.

"I think there was a hot dog on the fridge in the mansion." Pikachu said.

"Hurray!" Pichu said stepping inside the portal with Pikachu.

"Ness, it's my fight style getting better?" Lucas wondered.

"Well, I'm not really sure, but let's train together in the mansion, how that sounds?" Ness asked with a little smile.

"G-good, I think." Lucas said stepping inside the portal with Ness.

Pit sighed "I need to improve my skills to fight, I didn't got any chance to fight much on this world." He said stepping inside the portal.

"Hmm..."

"What is it Falco?" Fox asked.

"Nothing, I was just remembering how we fight with the others back at the mansion."

"Oh, right, when we get back, everything will return to normal."

"Wait...everything...that means...HERE I GO, MY HANDSOME APPEARANCE!" Falco said running excited inside the portal and Fox sweatdropped.

"...I need to remember why I ever let Falco join me." Fox muttered to himself stepping inside the portal and it disappeared.

WORLD COMPLETED!

YOU GAINED 1100 SMASH COINS!

Fox's partnership level is filled! A path to a different world has been opened!

Falco's partnership level is filled!

TO BE CONTINUED...

Preview of the next arc

"ARGH! My...my body!...I'm...feeling...different!" Chris said putting his hands on his head and everyone else fell to their knees.

...............................................................................................

"Grrrrrrrr."

"It's official, we're wild beasts now." Chris said.

...............................................................................................

"Link, do you think we can trust them?"

"Midna, they're friends and they can help us a lot."

...............................................................................................

"(So they are trying to kill Link, I won't let them ruin my plans so easily)" She thought with a smirk on her face.

[The Seventh]

Great chapter!

Twilight princess, hmm?  Although I was wanting Metroid Prime.  That would also make another epic chapter.

Still, Twilight princess should make a GREAT chapter.

Can't wait!

[Triforce_Luigi]

TP? Interesting. If the humans turning beasts, what will Fox and Falco do?

[DededeCloneChris]

TP? Interesting. If the humans turning beasts, what will Fox and Falco do?

Unfortunately, they aren't planned to be in this arc.

Chapter 49: Beasts of Twilight

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"First, you aid them in a battle that they could have lost, then, you join them? What kind of henchmen are you?" Tabuu asked furiously.

"I told you before, my only goal is to defeat Fox and nothing else, I had no choice but to make a little truce for revenge." Wolf said bluntly.

"Urgh, and of top of that, we have the second, annoying general..."

"Who are you calling annoying? Mr. Virtual Old Man?" Porky asked angrily within his machine.

"Shut up! You shall refer me as your lord!" Tabuu's voice boomed through the Subspace.

"O-okay, if you want that to be in that way, I won't argue!" Porky said sweating.

"Lord Tabuu, what is our next movement?" The Ancient Minister asked.

"I'm still planning to get more soldiers to our organization, I heard that someone out there named Ganondorf is the lord of all evil and wielder of the Triforce of Power, send the next Subspace Bomb to the next destination!" Tabuu ordered.

"Hey Mr. Virtua-I mean, Lord Tabuu sir! Can I please go there?" Porky asked sweating "I have a very evil plan in my mechanized claws!"

Tabuu blinked "And that is?"

"Kill flowers by stomping on them!" After Porky said that, the whole Subspace was starting to shake violently and the Ancient Minister floated away slowly "He-hey! What's with the sudden earthquake on this place?!"

"And just when I thought things couldn't get worser..." Wolf said walking away.

"Hey! Could anybody please tell me what the hell is going o-" After Porky looked at Tabuu, he was preparing his laser eyes "Oh no..."

Then Tabuu fired his lasers at Porky and he said "YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SH-"

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"ACHOO!"

"Chris, are you getting a cold?" Pichu asked.

"No...is not that, I feel like I haven't been doing anything for the last week or something."

"But we just returned from Mario's world!"

"Ah, forget it, is not important of all manners."

Chris has been explaining all the things that happened when most of the Smashers were missing, although his explanation was being a little too childish...

"And then BOOM! We dealed like 20 of damage in a combinated attack!" Chris said, slamming his DS with his manual.

"I know this explains a lot, but aren't you getting...hmm...I don't know, too excited perhaps?" Marth asked.

"Oh sorry, I just get excited when something suddenly combines to create something stronger like that...hey...do you feel something strange?" Chris asked confused looking around.

"I don't feel anything." Popo said.

"No, it's true, I can feel something close to me."

"Look!" Master Hand pointed to the DS and manual that Chris just slammed a moment ago and both things started to shine intensely.

"What the heck is going with these things?!" Chris asked in shock as the light was engulfing all the room and they blocked their eyes, then about 5 seconds later, the light was gone, along with the manual and Chris blinked in confusion "...What happened?"

"I tell you what happened, lights and manuals don't mix!" Pichu said.

"Geez, that sure explains a lot." Chris said sarcastically.

"I really laugh at all your comments!"

"WHOA! Where did that voice came from?" Lucas asked surprised.

"It's coming..." Chris said opening his DS "From my DS."

"Oh! Hello there!" A floating head of a japanese man said happily inside the DS.

"Who are you?" Chris asked.

"Pardon my manners everyone! My name is Dr. Ryuta Kawashima!" The japanese head introduced himself as Dr. Kawashima.

"Erhm, nice to meet you...but...what are you doing inside my DS? I don't remember I had Brain Age on the Game Slot."

"Well...hmm...your name is Chris, right? The memory of this DS tells it, it's quite simple actually! When you placed this DS with your manual, they combined together to let me live inside here!" Dr. Kawashima said excited.

Master Hand looked at the DS "You!"

"Oh, it's the same hand again who failed at Sudoku." Dr. Kawashima said a little ashamed.

"You failed at Sudoku?" Chris asked raising an eyebrow.

"He failed the Beginner level like...well...I lost the count between 39 times and-"

"Oh shut up! Or I'll banish you to be an instruction manual again!" Master Hand said annoyed.

"Like you would do that again!" Dr. Kawashima taunted.

"Hey both of you! Stop!" Chris said "Now how can you help me?"

"Simple as fractions! I'll be your interactive manual! You can ask me anything like doubts and questions whenever you want!" Dr. Kawashima said excited.

Chris looked at Master Hand with a mischievous face "I think he can be of more help than you are."

"In your face if you have one!"

Master Hand sighed in defeat "Ugh, alright, I'll let you keep him."

"Thank you very mu-wait, that sounded like you're treating me like an animal!" Dr. Kawashima said.

"It's because you are!"

"Want to try Sudoku again?"

"Blasphemy!"

"STOP!" Chris yelled "You 2 will stop this nonsense already!"

"But..." Both said in unison.

"I don't care how many times Master Hand lost in Sudoku, I care what world is in danger to be taken by the Subspace Army!" Chris said.

"Great strategy Chris!" Dr. Kawashima remarked "Now how about if you try to pass the Beginner level of Sudok-" Chris quickly turned off his DS and closed it with force.

"On second thought, I'll ask him later my question when he forgets his idea to let me play Sudoku." Chris said sweatdropping and blushing a little of embarrasment.

"Wait...don't tell me you..." Master Hand trailed off.

"Blah! Blah! Blah! Please, tell us which is the next world!" Chris said sweating.

"Well...Link's world is currently in danger so..."

"Lucario, Mewtwo, Pikachu, Pichu, the Ice Climbers and Marth, we're going in now!" Chris said creating the portal.

"At least do you know if they can go?" Master Hand asked.

"The mentioned characters can go because 1, Link can turn into a wolf and I think Lucario falls on that category, 2, there are rats, both Pikachu and Pichu can go, 3, a lot of cats are there, Mewtwo can go too, 4, swordsmans can be in this world and I think Marth can go and finally, Popo and Nana can go since they are humans...with big eyes."

"Wait wait wait, Link, turning into a wolf? Since when he can do that?" Fox asked.

"Since...well..."

"Ahem, that IS a different Link." Master Hand pointed out.

"A different Link?" Chris asked confused.

"Of course, the new Link is very different from the last tournament, and unfortunately, this one doesn't remembers anything of the past."

"But he will." Mewtwo said raising a finger.

"What?" Master Hand asked confused.

"This Link is a descendant of the previous Link, if I can use an ability that I developed for several months, I think I can revive his past memories inside his mind." Mewtwo stated.

"That would be very helpful, we don't want another Link afraid of the toaster again." Pikachu said.

"Afraid of the toaster? Why?" Chris asked confused.

Pikachu laughed for a bit "When we met and when we were only 12, Link was acting like a cave-dweller as the bread was being burned inside the toaster, then when the bread popped out, Link screamed like a mad man and he literally destroyed the toaster with his sword saying that Ganondorf cursed it."

"...Men are so hopeless these days." Nana said frowning.

"And too many." Chris added "Okay then, let's go...by the way, how is Roy?"

Infirmary

"Just a few little more Roy and I'll take you out of this room!" Jigglypuff said as she dropped more Maxim Tomatos inside his mouth using a small spoon.

"Hey! You're giving him too many! I want too!" Crazy Hand said angrily.

Command Room

"He's fine, now go!" Master Hand said as Chris, Lucario, Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo, the Ice Climbers and Marth stepped inside the portal, disappearing.

"Hey Lucas! C'mon! I need to show you the mansion!" Ness said walking away.

"Co-coming!" Lucas said leaving with Ness.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Hyrule
Twilight Lanayru Province

Our group of Smashers appeared on the twisted world of twilight currently surrounding the north part of Hyrule, they stepped outside the portal before it disappeared.

"Wait, isn't this the twilight?" Chris asked as his voice echoed.

"Apparently, it is." Lucario said.

"Why? It's something wrong?" Marth asked.

"Well, I remember that only Link can travel inside this world in his wolf form, but...I have...a...very...bad...feeling...about...us...ugh...my...body!" Chris said.

"Ugh! What is this...power?" Mewtwo asked.

"Everything is spinning...around me..." Marth said.

"Pikachu...I don't feel so good either..." Pichu said.

"Something...is...changing us!" Pikachu said.

"I...can't...stand up!" Popo said dropping to his knees.

"Everyone!...Just...hold...on..." Lucario said, also dropping his knees.

"Popo...don't...leave me..." Nana said before she fainted.

"ARGH! My...my body!...I'm...feeling...different!" Chris said putting his hands on his head and everyone else fell to their knees.

Soon, everyone else fell unconscious as their bodies were being covered by a dark light...

"Ugh!...Don't...think...they...will...take...my...consciousness!" Mewtwo said enraged inside the black light and he slashed through the darkness and stood up, then he slashed the other black auras surrounding the bodies of everyone else and he managed to save them in time "What the..."

"Mewtwo..." Lucario trailed off as he got up "Thank you for saving us..."

"Lucario..."

"...What?"

"What happened to your face?"

"What do you mean?"

Mewtwo looked around for something to show what happened to Lucario and luckily, he found a river "See your reflection in the water."

Lucario walked over to the water to see his face and he kneeled to see clearly "What...happened to me?" He asked, his face changed when the light covered him, his fangs were sticking out from his mouth, his fur grew a little, especially his yellow fur, the appearance of Lucario was now beastly inside the twilight.

"Not only that...they changed too." Mewtwo said looking at the others fainted on the grass.

"Hey...what happened?" Chris asked as he was getting up "And...why I'm feeling I got small? Mewtwo? Did you grew up?"

"Chris...you're a..." Mewtwo trailed off.

"I'm a what? I'm a human, you know that very well."

"No...you're a..." Mewtwo couldn't finish his sentence because Chris looked at Lucario and he almost screamed.

"AAAAHHH!!!" Well...he screamed anyway "Lucario! When did you got so scary?!"

"Chris? Is that really you?" Lucario asked.

"What do you mean? Stop leaving me in suspence! Tell me, what happened to me or something!"

"You're a Riolu!"

"...Okay, I know you really liked when I was a Riolu back at Mystery Dungeon, but seriously, stop joking!" Lucario quickly grabbed Chris and he ran to the water "Hey! Let me go!"

"Look at the water and tell me what do you look." Lucario said.

"At the water? For wha-" Chris discovered that he was in fact a Riolu again, however, little fangs were sticking out from his mouth and his fur was a little bit longer too "...I'm a freaking tiny beast!"

"AAAHHH!! What did you do to Nana you monster?!" Popo asked in shock after finding a Topi in Nana's clothes.

"No! What DID you do to Popo you monster?!" Nana asked in shock after finding a Topi in Popo's clothes.

"Wait, that voice..."

"It can't be..."

"Nana?"

"Popo?"

"WE ARE TOPIS!" Both said in shock.

"AAAHHH! PIKACHU! THIS ISN'T HALLOWEEN!" Pichu said covering his face.

"What are you talking about Pichu?" Pikachu asked confused "Oow! Who put these fangs in my mouth?!"

Chris walked with Lucario to where everyone were "Oh god, this is what I was trying to tell all of you before!"

"Chris, did you turned into a Pok?mon?" Pikachu asked.

"I thought I was going to turn into a wolf, but this is the closest thing that suits to me I think."

Pichu uncovered his face and Pikachu looks at him "PICHU!"

"What?"

"You have fangs!"

"What? But, you too have fangs!"

"What about us? We're Topis!" Popo said.

"And what happened to Marth?" Nana asked looking around.

"I'm here." Marth said raising his hand, oddly, he didn't changed at all.

"...How come Marth didn't changed?" Popo asked confused.

"I was able to save him first in time before all of you, but it was too late for everyone else." Mewtwo responded.
