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

[DededeCloneChris]

666th floor (seriously, this time, we're going to stay here WAY longer without changing the scene constantly)

The 6 now were wandering aimlessly around the halls of the abandoned floor, but Pichu was hugging Lucas as they walked together.

"...Look at this..." Zelda bended down to pick up something. "This is..."

"Toon Link's Wind Waker." Mewtwo pointed out.

"S-something bad happened to him?" Pichu asked.

"I fear yes." Mewtwo said and Pichu gulped.

"Not only that," C. Falcon said bending down, getting a lot of items. "This is Ness's cap, Etna's axe, Pikachu's fur, Flonne's feather, Falco's Blaster, a Prinny's pouch, Wolf's cyber eye patch and one photo of that crazy party we had when the Melee Tournament began," he chuckled at the photo of him and Marth totally drunk with Roy. "Man, how wild was that one..."

"I blame you for pouring beer in Marth's and Roy's sodas." Zelda said glaring at the captain.

"H-hey, it was still fun!"

Meta Knight frowned at this and looked around after a thunder fell. "We are not alone."

"W-what?!" Lucas asked.

"We are not alone." Mewtwo repeated.

"I-I know, I just got surprised!"

"Hey, look at this," C. Falcon found another item. "Is this a camera?"

"It has Pikachu's logo on it, maybe he recorded something?" Zelda asked and C. Falcon turned on the camera and played a video that it was stored on the memory.

Wess's Dance

However, it was a video of Pikachu doing the Wess's Dance with Lucas and Ness and the captain quickly pressed the forward button to the next video as Lucas looked away embarrassed when Pichu looked at him.

Luigi's Mansion Theme

"HELP! PLEASE! THERE'S A FREAKY BEAST CHASING AFTER US!" Pikachu pleaded as he was carrying the unconscious Popo above him while Etna ran past him carrying Ness without his hat. "LISTEN TO ME! THIS IS NOT A JOKE! THERE IS A BEAST HERE TRYING TO EAT US ALIVE OR DEAD!"

There was a familiar growl and roar that Lucas quickly recognized and backed away scared.

"SO LISTEN! WE ARE GOING TO HIDE IN SOME SAFE ROOM AROUND HERE, TRY TO FIND AND SAVE US FROM THAT DEMON FROM HELL!!!" Pikachu accidentaly dropped his camera, but it was his plan as they saw 4 pink foots on the screen before it ran out of batteries.

"N-n-n-no...i-i-i-i-it can't be..." Lucas said dropping to his knees.

"W-what?" Pichu asked trembling.

"I-i-it's the Ultimate Chimera, the monster I was trying to talk about that time when we readed the book of clichés!"

"The monster with the rubber duck?" Meta Knight asked and Lucas nodded trying to not scream.

"T-the Ultimate Chimera is a dreaded beast, i-if someone gets close enough to it, t-the monster will send a serious bite that will KO or maybe even kill someone with one hit, a-and don't even try to hurt it, i-it's totally invincible!"

"That is...almost impossible to believe..." Mewtwo said.

"B-but it's the truth! You saw how Popo and Ness were badly beaten, right?"

Lucas's Confessionary

"CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! WHERE ARE YOU?! I NEED YOU SO BADLY NOW!!!" Lucas screamed crying to the roof.

Zelda looked with a worried look the halls "...I think the goosebumps are getting to me..."

Mewtwo looked down before he turned quickly to find a floating ghost trying to scare them, but he used Confusion to reveal the identity of 3 Prinnies holding drinks. "What are you 3 doing here?"

"Y-yeah! Why did you try to scare us?!" Pichu asked hiding behind C. Falcon.

"Dood, sorry! We just couldn't resist the urge to do it!" Prinny 4893 said.

"We walked to this place and thought it would be fun to play the ghosts, dood!" Prinny 1103 said laughing heartily.

"Have you seen Etna or Flonne around here?" Zelda asked.

"Hmm, dood, now that I remember, we saw Flonne and another small guy with Prinny 3489 running away screaming from a pink beast with a duck on its head, dood." Prinny 5867 explained to them.

"...Then the beast is hunting us." Mewtwo said.

"P-Porky! H-he did this whole thing!" Lucas said.

"Maybe, but our top priority is to gather everyone else and escape from this floor, then bring Master Hand to do something about this."

"Good, because it would be a great idea if we do that now, dood." Prinny 1103 said.

"Why?" Zelda asked.

"'CUZ THE PINK BEAST IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU, DOOD!" Prinny 4893 yelled screaming terrorized, the 6 quickly turned their heads to find the UC roaring loudly, standing several feet away from them.

"Ugh, it's useless to fight that thing back." Mewtwo said narrowing his eyes.

"T-then what do we do?" C. Falcon asked.

Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise

"The most logical option we have...RUN!" Mewtwo said quickly floating away and the others began to scream (not Meta Knight, of course) loudly as the UC roared again before chasing them.

"AAAAAAHHHHH! WE'RE SO DEAD NOW!" Lucas screamed.

"Quick! Turn this way!" Meta Knight said pointing inside a room, they quickly entered inside and the UC passed the room by accident.

Inside the room, only their eyes were visible in the darkness.

"UAH!" Lucas tripped.

"Great...now everyone is here." Wolf's voice was heard as we see his right eye.

"Wolf? What are you doing here?" Pichu asked.

"What do you think?... Hiding from that monstrocity, that stupid thing bit me in the leg, but I managed to get away from it, heck, I even saved the bird brain from becoming dead dinner! ...Have you seen my cyber eye patch laying around here? I can't let people see me without it."

"Here." C. Falcon gave the patch to Wolf, who put it on.

"Here, use this to heal your leg and Falco." Mewtwo said handing over 2 Heart Containers to both of them, Wolf glanced at Falco and threw the heart to him, regaining their energies.

"What...happened..." Falco asked opening his eyes slowly before finding the others by their eyes in the darkness. "What are you all doing here?"

"Hiding from a monster? Like you 2?" C. Falcon asked sarcastically.

"...That...grr! I'm gonna kill it when I see it again!"

"It's useless, that chimera is invincible as Lucas said before." Zelda said.

"Shh, it's coming here, shut up." Meta Knight said leaning to the door, the steps of the beast were heard, they paused when it stopped right in front of the door, the beast looked at it as another thunder fell and illuminated the room where they were in for a moment, but the chimera turned its head and walked away. "...It's gone..."

Pant...pant...pant...pant...

"Wolf, I told you, stop your tries to scare me and get off my shoulder!" Falco said annoyed in the darkness.

"I'm not even close to you, bird brain!" Wolf replied back.

"...Wait, those yellow triangle-shaped eyes are familiar..." Pichu said wondering, they looked over Falco's shoulder to find 2 yellow eyes glaring at them, a thunder fell outside and they found the UC in the room, panting heavily and licking its lips as he drooled and their eyes shrunk in unison, even Meta Knight's eyes shrunk.

Flonne, Toon Link and Prinny 3489 were walking slowly in front of the same door, looking carefully at all directions to stay alert from the chimera. "...It isn't here dood..." Prinny 3489 said.

"Good, we lost him." Toon Link said.

"What a relief, I thought we were going to die just now..." Flonne said sighing in relief and they leaned next to the same door. "I want to find the exit to this place and get out of here..."

"Well, good for you, I have another problem trying to find me here."

"Who?"

Before Toon Link could even respond, the door bursted out opening and they were slammed hardly to the wall by it, and all the Smashers ran out panicking (take your guesses who didn't again) from the UC who roared and ran away from the room, then the door slowly opened and they had very shocked faces with swirl eyes.

"...Wait...for us...dood..." Prinny 3489 said before the trio collapsed and slowly got up, shaking their heads.

"Oh no, they're here and the monster is trying to eat them alive!" Flonne said worried.

"...RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Toon Link screamed loudly as he saw them returning back, with everything and UC included, Flonne and Prinny 3489 looked at each other and the penguin jumped on Flonne's arms and ran away, joining up with the entire group.

"TOON LINK?! HERE!" C. Falcon said giving Toon Link back his Wind Waker.

"WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!" Falco asked as he screamed.

"WE NEED TO FIND THE OTHER 4 AND RUN TO THE STAIRS TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Zelda yelled as Mewtwo evaded one bite of the UC by moving his tail to the front.

"DEAD END!" Flonne yelled worried, looking back to see the UC running at them with its jaw opened.

The Prinnies looked around and found a door. "Go! Go Go Go! Dood!" The Prinnies yelled and evrybody quickly entered inside the room, evading to be crushed by the monster who crashed into the wall.

"Holy Lindblum's Gysahl Greens! There's another door over there!" Zelda said relieved, finding another door leading to the other side of the hallway.

"Quick!" Wolf grabbed the door knob and opened the door. "Get to the othe-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Most of them screamed in terror.

Wolf took a quick glance of the door and the UC was there roaring loudly, the grey vulpine got this time scared and slammed the door with all his forces. "RETURN! RETURN! RETURN!" Wolf ordered by yelling loduly and they quckly left the room from where they came from.

Prinnies's Confessionary

The Prinnies were running around in circles and occasionally tripping as they said "dood" over and over and over and over again.

"Please, tell me, it's not here!" Pikachu pleaded hiding inside a cardboard box with Etna and the 2 unconscious Smashers.

"Shh," Etna said and she looked outside through the hole of the box, she shifted her eyes and kept that position until she looked back at Pikachu. "The coast is clear, we can escape now."

"A-are you serious?"

"Yes, now get a move on!" Etna said throwing the box away and they stood up with each Smasher.

"T-this is getting out of hand, we have to get out of here and tell Master Hand about that monster!"

"Relax," Etna said moving her right hand and smiled closing her eyes as she walked to the corner of the hallway. "I bet that monster is far from us by now, we should take the guys to Flonne so she can heal them in the infirmary an-"

"OUTTA THE WAY!!!" Pichu yelled appearing and jumping over Etna, running away as he screamed terrorized.

"W-was that Pichu just now? What is he doing here?" Pikachu asked confused.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" A stampede of Smashers came from Pichu's direction and stomped on the soon-to-be vassal girl along with the dead Ness, her right leg twitched and Pikachu sweatdropped and went to check on her.

"...Etna?" Pikachu asked poking Etna's forehead with his tail.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

Pikachu quickly turned his head and his body froze from fear after he found the UC running towards them, the electric mouse Pokémon screamed and ran away...before returning to amazingly lift Etna's and Ness's body above him to join up with the others as he quickly ran to them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Pikachu asked, yelling.

"THE THING CHASING US, THAT'S WHY!" C. Falcon said yelling.

"GIVE THESE TO THEM!" Mewtwo yelled handing over 3 Heart Containers to Pikachu, who quickly threw them at the 3 unconscious people who woke up, after seeing the beast, they began to scream as well and joined the mad escape.

"WHERE IS SOMEBODY WHEN YOU NEED SOMEBODY?!" Ness asked yelling.

"NANA! WHERE'S NANA?!" Popo asked yelling scared.

Ice Climbers's Room (forget what I said before, sorry)

We now see Nana being treated by all the Prinnies of the whole mansion as if she was a princess, enjoying her sweet life with all the luxury she could ever demand, the pink Ice Climber took a sip of her highly expensive orange juice. "Yes, leave the psychopaths dealing with the "beast" alone while I enjoy all the luxury for my own pleasure!" Nana said laughing heartily beofre sighing and burying herself in her sofa. "Nothing...nothing can wreck this moment..."

Nana's Confessionary

"I swear, like, this is the happiest moment in my life ever since Popo found out about what it meant to get vaccines, god, he freaked out so much that time that he pinched the doctor to death! At least he received 30 years of healthy life!"

"...Toon...Link..."

Nana's eyes quickly opened up and looked at the other side of her room, finding a creepy shadow with red eyes on the window, out in the rain as another thunder illuminated the room, surpassing the candles's light. "...Hmm...hey, is that you Link? What are you doing outside?"

"Sword...test it...with me..."

"Sorry, but I got no sword." Nana said laughing before Link growled at her.

"Dood, should we let him inside?" Prinny 57902 asked.

"First, let me see his face, I can only see his creepy red eyes that are bothering me."

The Prinny took out a flashlight and pointed it at Link...

...And somebody could hear a girl screaming in panic and thousands and thousands of Prinnies scattering around the mansion while the girl ran away for her life from a maniac.

666th floor

The UC was inspecting an abandoned room, but after some seconds, it walked away from it.

But after that, all the Smashers along with Flonne, Etna and her Prinnies came out from behind the furnitures and sighed in unison.

"Mewtwo, I was wondering, why couldn't you just teleport all of us to the room?" Pikachu asked.

"I can't, that beast has something that prevents anyone from disappearing or teleporting." Mewtwo said.

"Shouldn't we do something ourselves instead of Master Hand saving our rears?" Popo suggested.

"...Well, he does have a point..." Etna said.

Etna's Confessionary

"Don't think I don't think, I have pretty sweet ideas in my mind, and I could use them anytime I want!... It's just...well...I want to see if they can come up with something as good too!"

"I don't know what to do, any ideas?" Toon Link asked and they got in thinking positions.

"...Hmm..." Ness looked around and Pichu looked at him.

"A-ha! You got something in mind, don't you Ness?" Pichu asked excited.

"I was thinking of splitting up and try to find things to help us catch the Ultimate Chimera...." Ness wondered and Popo laughed heartily and walked towards a mantle.

"Fear not, my boys!" Popo pulled the mantle and they looked to what was under it, the best machinery to catch ghosts. "We have all the perfect and technological ghost traps stuff to catch ghosts here!"

Popo's Confessionary

"I think I got a little smarter this night! Take that Nana! Popo, 4 points, Nana, 3,589,249 points!"

"Oh, Popo! You're such a genius!" Falco said smiling.

"Really?"

"No," Falco's face turned serious. "You do know we're dealing with a MONSTER and not a GHOST?! Can't you see the difference between those 2 things?!"

"...I dunno." Popo said sticking out his tongue and Falco facepalmed and frowned at this, feeling sorry for the Ice Climber for a moment.

"Lucas, are you sure there isn't a way to stop it?" Zelda asked.

"W-well...there's a way but..." Lucas shook his head. "N-nevermind, the chimera has a button on its back, right?"

"Now that you mention it, it does!" Popo said remembering.

"T-that button is actually to turn it on or off, i-if we can reach if in time before the chimera eats us, we could capture him without problems..."

"I got it!" Ness said slamming his fist on his palm. "Everyone, private reunion, gather around me and let me explain the plan!" They gathered in a circle except for Lucas, who kept shaking his head.

"B-but I haven't told you the reason of the du-"

"Lucas! Come here, Ness's plan doesn't sound so bad!" Flonne said with a smile, the PK kid sighed in fear and decided to hear Ness's plan.

10 minutes later...

We see Pikachu and Pichu walking down the halls by only themselves, they were laughing too. "Pichu! I didn't know you had so much meat under that skin!"

"It's the truth Pikachu! I even have a ketchup flavor, the doctors told me in the analysis of my blood test!"

Both mouses began to hear footsteps coming and they smiled at each other. "But I have even more flavor, I taste like fresh grilled steak!"

"No, really?!"

The UC appeared roaring loudly and both characters began to run as fast as they could from the same beast who chased after them. "There! The room!" Pikachu said running inside a room with Pichu following him, before the UC got inside but lost track of both Smashers.

"Yohooooooo!!!"

The UC roared loudly before his eyes widened and turned into hearts, on the other side of the room, there was a small female UC waving at him, the UC ignored the reason of why she could stand in 2 foots, apparently, it was Popo in disguise. "Gooooooooooorrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh..." The UC tried to imitate a wolf's whistle, but couldn't do it as Popo giggled.

"My, what a strong and powerful UC you are, I have been searching for the ideal man to marry." Popo said winking at it, the UC tapped his right foot and this time, whistled to the roof and towards the fake female UC.

"(...Somebody please tell me the chimera isn't falling for that.)" Mewtwo thought irritated from somewhere.

"(Unfortunately, it is.)" Meta Knight replied back through telepathy with Mewtwo.

Popo wagged his little pink tail in front of the UC's face. "So...are you single?" The UC quickly nodded its head, drooling. "Are you looking for a woman?" The UC nodded faster this time. "Hmm..." Popo petted the UC's head as it dropped to the floor, wagging its tail. "Heeeeeeeeey...can I touch this little button from your back?" The UC nodded even faster before his eyes turned into shocked eyes.

CLICK!

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!" The UC's yellow eyes began to blink and suddenly turned black, the chimera let out a small growl before it collapsed on the floor, and Popo quickly removed his disguise and took out another hammer.

"EVERYONE! TIE IT UP, NOW!" Popo yelled to the ceiling, the ceiling was very dark but with a closer look, all the other Smashers were stuck on it thanks to Mewtwo's Confusion and fell around the chimera and quickly tied everypart of its body, after 2 minutes, they succeeded and most of them high-fived each other after defeating the monster, but Lucas was still worried.

"Yes! Yes! We beat it!" C. Falcon said making a fist in the air.

"I can't believe that plan actually worked." Wolf said frowning.

"The scarier they are, the dumber they will be!" Ness said adjusting his hankerchief.

"Now, we need to take this sin against nature to Master Hand and see what can we do with it." Zelda said.

"...OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!" Lucas panicked after he examined the UC's head.

"What is it Lucas? It's over! You don't have to worry about anything now!" Toon Link said laughing.

"N-NO! IT'S GONE!"

"What's gone? The horror of this night? The ordeal we went through together or the bravery we have displayed so far?" Pikachu asked poetically.

"THE DUCK! IT'S GONE! WHERE IS IT?!"

"...The duck? You mean the chicky on its head?"

"Y-YES! WE HAVE TO FIND IT, HURRY!"

"Lucas, I don't see why are you panicked about a small bird." Mewtwo said.

"I-IT'S BECAUSE THAT DUCK WILL ACTIVATE THE CHIMERA ONCE IT'S TURNED OFF TO TURN IT BACK ON!"

Everyone froze for a moment and looked around.

"...Wait, you mean that chicky wasn't for making it cuter?" Popo asked.

"I-it wasn't!" Lucas said terrified.

CLICK!

"...It's awakening..." Meta Knight said glancing over the chimera, who began to roar loudly and ate the ropes tying its legs, it shook violently before jumping and standing, then the bird from before appeared from behind it and sat on its head as the UC started to growl at the Smashers, who backed away to a book shelf where they leaned into it.

"Oh no, no no no no no no no no NO! My plan was useless because of that bird!" Ness said and looked to the Prinnies taking out all the books from the shelf. "W-what are you doing?!"

"There must be a book that can turn over this shelf to save us, think about it, this whole place is creepy and a place like this is not complete with the shelf that can spin with a special book, dood!" The Prinnies said in unison and accelerated, throwing all the books to the chimera.

"We are SO dead now!" C. Falcon said.

"Dood?" The Prinnies's prediction turned out to be true and the shelf began to tremble before it spun on its place and took all of them to another room, where they sighed in relief after seeing nothing in front of them, just another door to somewhere.

"...They were saying the truth..." Flonne said panting heavily.

"...Wait, something is not right..." Mewtwo said looking to the shelf, then, all of a sudden, the UC crashed into the shelf just above Lucas and Ness, the others watched in fear as the beast moved its head to get out and then, the Smashers ran away from the room before the UC got out and chased them down, yet again.

"LOOK! THERE ARE MANY DOORS IN THIS HALLWAY!" Toon Link yelled.

"SPLIT UP AND CONFUSE IT!" Ness yelled and everyone entered in all the different rooms, oddly enough, the amount of rooms was the same as they were, the UC glanced at all the rooms, it roared before charging inside Zelda's room.

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH!!!" Zelda ran out from her room and entered Lucas's room, the UC following her.

"UAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Lucas and Zelda ran inside Toon Link's room with the UC.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Toon Link along with the previous 2 ran to 3 different rooms and the UC decided to choose its way.

And you would know what happened next after this, everyone were running around the room, entering and exiting, screaming and scattering, tripping and yelling, the scene pretty much looked like they weren't even getting out from the rooms they were in, what was odd, one could have sworn seeing Colette, Boney, Jolene, Shinon, Red, Green and Yellow Kirby, Cream, Slippy, a Bulborb, Paula, Jeff, Genis, Guy, Kumatora, Peppy, the Axem Rangers, Charmy, Cynthia, Medli, even a random Primid, screaming and running inside the rooms where they would never be seen again...

...Oh, and a New Age Retro Hippie too.

"THAT'S IT! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE FOR REAL THIS TIME, THIS PLACE IS REALLY SCARING THE HELL OUT OF ME NOW!" Pikachu yelled leaving the crazy rooms with everyone from the UC, unfortunately, they were cornered in a dead end.

Music stops

"...I think it's the end of the line for us..." Flonne said dropping to her knees. "It was really a good experience knowing all of you...but...it's time...to die..." She buried her face in her hands as another thunder fell.

"F-Flonne, don't say that...at least you're not going to die alone..." Etnsa said hugging Flonne as she cried.

"Dood! Miss Etna!" The Prinnies joined in and hugged them as they cried.

"C. Falcon...I think I need to tell you something..." Zelda said looking down. "You...kind of...managed to get my attention..."

C. Falcon facepalmed. "Great, I was going to ask you out for a fate if we could get out of this!"

"But please...don't let me die first!"

"...Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Hmph, it was a shame my life was going to end like this..." Wolf said shaking his head. "There are many things that I had yet to do, like kicking out Leon from the team."

Falco's eyes widened. "No way!" Falco said surprised.

"Nana! Please! Take care of you by yourself! I'm going to stay with you in your dreams and heart an-" Popo's mouth was blocked.

"Popo, stop it before it gets cheesier." Pikachu said as he hugged Pichu, who was crying.

"Pikachu, you were like a brother to me, a role model to follow!" Pichu yelled crying.

"Don't cry! You're going to be a...wuss...WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Pikachu cried loudly together with Pichu.

"Forgive me for not ending our match...but it's over for me..." Mewtwo said looking down, probably he was talking to Lucario but without talking directly to him.

"Kirby...sorry..." Meta Knight said throwing Galaxia away.

"If only I could see Link for one last time..." Toon Link said sadly.

...A moment of silence fell and they looked at each other.

"Hey, wait a second, where is that bastard?" Zelda asked angrily.

"Yeah! Link hasn't appeared yet ever since this whole thing started!" C. Falcon said.

Not much time passed before they heard stomps and screams for help coming from behind the UC, the monster even turned its head and saw a pink image passing by its side and hugged Popo tightly.

"Nana!" Pichu said wiping out his tears from his eyes.

"GUYS! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Nana yelled panicking on his brother's arms.

"Duh, we have an insane beast in front of us, we can't escape from he-" Ness was interrupted.

"NO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE FROM HIM!" Nana pointed scared behind the UC, and they saw a shadow figure with glowing red eyes walking closer, laughing maniacally and evily which made them to shudder in fear.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Heheheheheh...come here...Toon Link..."

"...OH MY FARORE! IS LINK!" Toon Link yelled screaming.

"Mwheheheheheh...look...we have many people to test my sword...OF BLOOD!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" A thunder just illuminated the place as Link crackled maniacally.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" At this point, being constantly chased by a monster that could KO or kill you with one hit on the night, with a thunderstorm, and now with a crazy swordsman assassin with blood dripping out his clothes and sword with scars would scare even the most clamest character (Mewtwo or Meta Knight).

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!" The UC roared loudly and charged at Link.

"...WHAT THE HELL IS LINK DOING NOW?!" Falco asked scarred for life as Link jumped to the ceiling and began to run on it to fall above the UC, stabbing his bloody sword on its back.

"BLOOD! BLOOD! LINK WANTS MORE BLOOD! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Link yelled laughing maniacally and constantly stabbing the UC's back as everyone screamed at the top of their lungs.

"LINK IS A SERIAL KILLER NOW!" C. Falcon yelled scared.

CLICK!

Fortunately, Link pressed the button on its back and the chimera turned off, the bird tried to go there, but it got sliced down by Link and died on the scene.

"...Hey! That's not fair! Why did I think of that before?" Lucas complained.

"LUCAS! SHUT UP!" Ness yelled to him before Link looked at them with a scary dark look on his face.

"Heheheheheheheheh..." Link slowly approached to them, walking in a very unusual manner. (If someone reading this has ever seen a Heartless walking, well, Link was walking like one now).

"MEWTWO! DO SOMETHING FOR THE HECK OF IT!" Pikachu yelled.

"...NO! I-IT'S USELESS! MY POWERS DON'T WORK ON HIM!" Mewtwo yelled gasping.

"YOU MEAN HE TURNED INTO A DARK TYPE OR SOMETHING?!"

"MORE LIKE HE JOINED THE DARK SIDE!" Popo yelled with Nana as they cried.

"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" The maniac Link lunged at them with his sword raised in the air and they screamed loudly and closed their eyes and waited for the moment to be killed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"SHUT..." A big shadow appeared from behind Link and slammed him down as another shadow put the chimera inside a cage. "THE HELL UUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A thunder illuminated the place again, there were 2 scary monsters floating above the floor, holding both killer monsters above them as they approached them, they trembled in fear and leaned to the walls...

...However, Meta Knight took a closer look when the lights decided to return to the mansion, the lights revealed the monsters to be Master Hand and Crazy Hand. "...You?!"

"God, why were all of you yelling like maniacs or lunatics or both combined together all night long?" Master Hand asked confused.

Command Room

"Well gang, looks like we solved this mystery!" Ness said sitting on a chair and throwing his hankerchief away.

"There wasn't a mystery at all." Mewtwo pointed out.

"Porky managed to infiltrate the mansion in a reckless manner and let the chimera in." Master Hand said.

Zelda looked to Link's cage, where he tried to destroy the bars with his teeth as he laughed evily. "B-but what is happening to Link?" Zelda asked.

"Simple my dear Zelda, Link went insane because Marth or Roy aren't here, the current weather even threw him in a sick mental state."

"MH!" Toon Link came in panting heavily before looking up holding the Ocarina of Time. "I fixed the weather and day, it's clear and it's the afternoon!"

"Good job, now everything is going to be back to normal."

Etna smiled and put her hands on her hips. "Worry no more, all my Prinnies are fixing up the whole 6th floor to get in clean, take it as an appreciation."

"I'm glad everything went back to normal, I was really scared." Flonne said sighing in relief.

Master Hand's Confessionary

"I couldn't let my Smashers to be killed, I'm not that evil unless someone enters my office or if someone steals the items or if someone puts pictures of my brother naked in the internet o-"

Crazy Hand's Confessionary

"LOL!"

"What do we do with Link?" C. Falcon asked backing away from the cage.

"Simple," Master Hand said, he lifted up Link's cage, opened a portal and threw him inside before it vanished. "We'll send him with Marth and Roy to get him back to normal."

Link has left your team

"I won't miss his new self though." Zelda said.

"W-what are you going to do with the Ultimate Chimera?" Lucas asked.

"I'm going to use it as a new hazzard for a new stage I'm going to show you all once we gather more people." Master Hand said.

"It won't get away, so rest assured!" Crazy Hand said.

"I'm going to burn down this recording when I get the time, no memories of this again, got it?" Pikachu asked holding his camera.

"And we definitely didn't say something personal that time, it's a secret between us!" Pichu said smiling.

"Finally, no more Halloween stuff." Wolf said taking a sip of his coffee.

"But is not Halloween yet!" Falco said.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Everyone laughed, even Mewtwo and Meta Knight laughed together for this time only.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Crazy Hand took out pink costumes for everyone. "Since you all were accomplices of Falco and Wolf, you will wear pink versions of your clothes for this day since you all got scared by something we didn't do!"

"..." Everyone shot glares at the insane hand and went for their clothes, even those who had fur had to be clothed, no exceptions.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Somewhere in Gallia

"Here he comes Marth!" Roy said pointing at Link, who came walking down the woods, back to his normal self.

"Finally, what took you so long?" Marth asked.

"Heheh, sorry, there were some problems but I managed to get away with our plan to get me here after all." Link said laughing heartily.

"Told you Marth, it was going to work." Roy said.

"It did work..." Marth said as the trio walked away, talking about what happened...before they got rulers out of nowhere and did you know what with them.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[DededeCloneChris]

Now, back with our current chapter.

[DededeCloneChris]

In that moment, Mallow and Lucario came from the trees as Diddy prepared to hit the ball. "Did you find the bombs?" Chris asked.

"No, we couldn't find them, I'm sorry." Lucario said.

"This is bad, if the you-know-what can't be found, they will you-know-what the entire forest!" Mallow said.

"Even my aura can't detect them."

"At this rate, the bombs will explode!"

"...Mallow!" Geno yelled before they heard footsteps.

"Excuse me, but what is that of bombs exploding?" Mario asked appearing from Peach's team.

"Er..." Twink looked at both directions preocupied.

"W-we're not talking about bombs Mario!" Chris said sweating.

"...Mallow, are you hiding something from me?" Mario asked.

"N-no I'm not! We're definitely not hiding the fact that bombs are hidden through the forest and they could explode in any moment!" Mallow said.

"...Mallow, you idiot..." Geno muttered smacking his forehead.

"Bombs? You mean the same kind of bombs we saw in the Glitz Pit before?" Mario asked.

"...Yes..." Chris said.

"And they're here? In this forest?"

"...Yes..."

"And why didn't you tell that to me?"

"Because I feared you would said that to the others and start a panic attack or something."

"Are you serious?" Mario pointed at Peach's team, which was cheering on Diddy. "I can't take their fun away, just look at them! They're so excited for the festival!"

"...But unfortunately, we don't know where the bombs are." Squirtle said.

"Don't worry about that detail, I won't tell anybody about this." Mario reassured them.

"Phew, thank you." Chris said sighing.

"But I have one favor."

"What is the favor?"

"Please try to destroy the bombs before they blow up, I'll distract the others to evade attention or else the festival will be ruined!"

"...I don't know if I ca-"

"Got it." Fox said nodding.

"Fox!"

"Thank you! And in the meantime, please enjoy the festival!" Mario said as he returned to Peach's team.

"Why did you say that for?"

"I guessed you were still going to agree, so I went ahead before you."

"..." Chris was blinking confused.

"Also," Fox grinned and crossed his arms. "Take that as an example for deciding before we can decide for ourselves."

"...Fox." Chris walked towards Fox and smiled a little.

"Yes?"

"Shut up." Chris hand-chopped Fox's head with his right hand.

"Oww!"

"Diddy's ball is getting closer!" Lakitu announced after Diddy was able to pass through the rings.

"Now." Charizard whispered to the grass.

"(Oh, I don't think so!)" Diddy thought happily as somehow the ball got around the sudden bump on the grass and entered inside the hole.

"HOLE-IN-ONE! ONE POINT FOR THE PEACH FENCERS!" Lakitu yelled and mentioned team cheered loudly for this.

"This is getting repetitive but noooooo, you had to make my son to lose!" Bowser whispered angrily to Charizard.

"You 2 are such idiots!" Bowser Jr. said holding back his tears.

"We move on to the next hole!" Toadsworth said walking away with all the other teams.

"...Chris..." Lucario walked closer to Chris.

"Yes Lucario? Do you have something to tell me?" Chris asked.

"Yes...I wanted to tell you I made friends with Mallow."

"...Seriously Lucario?"

Lucario nodded. "We had an interesting conversation too...so I may do the same with everyone else, but in another day and time."

"Lucario, that is progress coming from you!"

"...I don't know what to say..." Lucario said looking down before Chirs hugged him, making the Aura Pokémon to growl happily.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed of, you're a very unique Lucario, all the other ones should be like you!"

"...Thank you..."

"...Weirdos..." Wario muttered as he passed them from the side, making Lucario to growl angrily.

"Lucario, ignore that comment," Chris said rubbing Lucario's head. "He's not worth it."

"Grrrr..." Lucario grunted.

"And we're here!" Toadsworth said.

"...But isn't this a little longer than usual?" Mallow asked.

The next hole was very large, the green was 1000ft away from the tee and their positions, what's more, no rings were around the air, it was a long, straight course between the green and the tee area.

"And where are the rings?" Toadette asked.

"Simple, this, my friends, is the last hole!" Toadsworth said.

"But what about the golfers that haven't participated yet? Like me, you and Toadette?" Toad asked.

"Oh ho ho! You see, I lied about the 10 holes, this one is the last, now, the last 3 teammates from each team, Boo, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Toadette, myself, Mallow, Geno and Olimar will participate in a race to the hole!"

"Race to the hole? I haven't heard of that kind of event before." Olimar said.

"It's very easy to understand, the remaining golfers will hit their balls-" Bowser chuckled at this part. "-and then all of them will run as fast as they can to hit the balls again, the first team to gets their ball's team inside the hole will win 3 points!"

"WAIT!" Bowser stomped furiously at this. "That isn't fair! The Peach Fencers and Yoshi Suckers (Yoshi's team: HEY!) have 2 points each and my team has 3!"

"Oh, Bowser! You saw the meaning now, if a team wins this hole, they win the golf event!"

"But Wario's fatness will slow him down!"

"HEY!" Wario yelled angrily.

"And my legs can't run that fast either..." Olimar said looking down.

"I'm a bad runner myself!" Toad said.

"Well, that pretty much equals all of you in the same category, anyway! Teams! Prepare your teammates!"

"Whatever." Geno said grabbing his golf club.

"Oh, I don't like this," Toad said grabbing his golf club. "Toadette, prepare to run." Toadette nodded.

"Mess up this one and you'll be sorry!" Waluigi threatened his "brother."

"Same thing to you!" Wario said grabbing his golf club.

"Who says we can't get help a little..." Charizard whispered smirking evily.

"And 3! And 2! And 1..." Toadsworth trailed off.

"GO!" Toad, Geno and Wario hit their balls as strong as they could do and they went soaring through the air before landing, all the 9 characters began to run to their objects, while their teams loudly after this with all the other spectators back at the dome, since the Lakitus broadcasted the match. (And stayed away from Daisy's reach).

"Oh! Oh! Uf! My back! Is killing me!" Toadworth complained.

"Get a hold of yourself old man! The trophy is at risk!" Toadetted said.

"My! Back in the old days, children were most respectful to thei-"

"Just don't talk and let's get the ball!" Toad said as the Toads ran.

"Wait! Let me hit the ball this time!" Olimar said as they reached their ball, he grabbed his golf club and hit it in 5 seconds, before they continued running.

"Nice work! You hit fast!" Mallow said smiling.

"My skills in the golf haven't changed, I think." Olimar said.

"There it is!" Boo said pointing to their ball behind a tree.

"Rats! It's behind that tree!" Wario said panting heavily.

"Unless somebody can change the things a little bit!" Waluigi said grinning as the ball rolled by itself from the tree and reached an open area for Waluigi to hit it. "HA!" Waluigi hit the ball and it went soaring to the air before landing closer to the green.

"So far, nothing seems suspicious." Kirby said.

"Let's hope nothing happens." Yoshi said worried a little.

"Knowing our percentage to win, I'd say something will happen." Lucario said.

"Just let's hope for the best, don't get depressed now!" Chris said with a little enthusiasm.

"Old man!" Toadette yelled to Toadsworth, who was holding his back in pain with the golf club on his right hand.

"Please...don't...run...so...fast...." Toadsworth pleaded as he reached both Toads and gasped for breath. "O-okay, I'm ready!"

"Peach, you should decide which teammate to disqualify now." Daisy whispered to Peach.

"I know that, hmm, Toadsworth is not going to hold for much longer so..." Peach trailed off.

"Ha!" Toadsworth hit the ball, still gasping for breath and it got closer to the green. "Somebody! Carry me! Please!" Toadsworth yelled.

"Ugh, fine!" Toadetted grabbed Toadsworth above herself and the trio of Toads continued to run.

"Heheheheh! There's the ball!" Boo said quickly floating over the ball and landed a strong hit on it, getting even closer to the green. "Uhaha!"

"Alright Mallow, it's your turn now." Geno said nodding to Mallow.

"I won't fail!" Mallow said happily grabbing his golf club and prepared to hit the ball.

"I don't think so." Dedede whispered smirking.

"...HA!"

"...Wait, Mallow! The ball is still here!" Geno said shocked.

"He's right! How can this be?!" Twink asked alarmed.

"W-what?" Mallow looked down and the ball was still there. "B-but how? I could have sworn I-"

"Quick! The other teams are advancing!" Olimar said alarmed, opening his eyes and flailing his arms.

"HA!" Mallow looked to the green, but looked down and the ball was still there. "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"

"Heheheheh, the Subspace Bombs are ready to explode in 5 minutes." Charizard said evily.

"Keep doing your work and continue to make the cloud thing angry." Dedede whispered to the grass.

"Heh, no problem with that."

"Oww! My back! Is...killing me!" Toadsworth complained holding his back before hitting the ball.

"Hurry up! I can't believe Wario's team is getting ahead of us!" Toadette complained angrily.

"Ugh! Why you must be so hard on an old man like me?!"

"No sir, why you must be so tired and make us lose?!"

"Toad! Do something about her!"

"S-sorry!" Toad said hiding behind a tree. "B-but Toadette gets REALLY scary when she's angry!"

"HIT THE BALL!" Toadette demanded.

"Bwhahahahahaha! Gotta love team issues!" Wario said and he was about to hit the ball, but instead hit Waluigi from behind his back. "You! Get outta my way!"

"MY EYE!" Waluigi complained holding his eye. "YOU BASTARD! I TOLD YOU NOT TO SCREW UP, AND YOU DID IT WITH MY EYE!"

"You 2! Stop arguing and hit the ball already! Both teams are distracted!" Boo said angrily.

"We can't because Mr. Fatty McButt is not hitting the ball!"

Wario glared at his brother. "What's that? Mr. Skinny McBones?!"

"You heard me! Mr. Farty McGasses!"

"Mr. Ugly McFace!"

"Mr. Snobby McBum!"

"Mr. 2 Idiots McDorks! Hello?! We need to win this now!" Boo said annoyed.

The other teams were watching the disputes from their spots, cheering loudly or arguing. "...Somehow, I just knew this was going to happen..." Squirtle said frowning.

"...Honestly, I also knew that." Chris said.

"Why do you think that?" Red asked.

"I mean, look at our team without Yoshi, we're the most, weirdest team ever made! We're a teenager that freaks out by anyone's antics, a Pokémon Trainer that started with the left foot, a so focused talking puppet, an hyperactive cloud prince, an almost silent Aura Pokémon who's bad at golf, a singer Pokémon that can't stop adjusting her hair in front of the cameras, 2 more Pokémon that haven't done anything, a captain of some minor and not so important company, a Super Tuff Pink Puff/Star Warrior of some part of the galaxy, a talking little and young star and on top of all those things, a mercenary that can't even find his lost dad!"

"Grrrrrrrrrrr."

Chris sweatdropped after almost his entire team glared and grunted at him (save Lucario, Yoshi and Kirby). "...I said something bad?"

"GET HIM!" Red yelled loudly and the not mentioned characters before started to, for the first time, beat Chris up to a bloody pulp inside a cloud of dust.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Chris yelled loudly. "LUCARIO! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE MANIACS!"

"Why should I? You deserved it." Lucario said frowning.

"OWW! MY LEG!"

"..." Lucario groaned and went inside the cloud, he lifted up everyone except Chris and threw them one feet away from his badly beaten up trainer.

"T-thanks...remind me to give you steaks...lots and lots of steaks...ugh..." Chris said fainting with swirl eyes.

"Fine."

Back with the teams...

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Mallow tried to hit the ball, but failed everytime. "DANG IT! I CAN'T DO IT!"

"OLD MAN! HURRY UP!" Toadette yelled annoyed.

"ACK! MY BACK! IT HURTS SO MUCH! PLEASE, HAVE MERCY ON THIS POUR SOUL!" Toadsworth pleaded but Toadette kept arguing as Toad hid completely behind the tree.

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!" Wario argued furiously with smoke coming from his ears.

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!" Waluigi cursed loudly.

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEP) Mc(BEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEEEEEEEEEEEP) Mc(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)!"

"Mr. (BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) Mc(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)!"

"...Why are we even recording all their curses anyway?" A random Lakitu asked another one.

"Because duh, we win more money that way, besides, we have censorship in this T rated story anyway." The other Lakitu said rolling his eyes and breaking the fourth wall.

"...Should we stop Toadette from murdering Toadsworth? She's scaring me..." Luigi said trembling a little.

"No, she needs to release all her fury to stop being angry, I learned that doing Yoga." Birdo said.

"I wouldn't want to be on her bad side, EVER." DK said shuddering.

"You say it, DK." Diddy said nodding.

Petey roared silently to Bowser. "Yeah, I'm sick of this too, just move the ball!" Bowser ordered the grass.

"...Eh?" Lakitu watched Wario's ball moving slowly towards the hole by itself, what was odd, Wario didn't even hit the ball at all and the fact that the hole was still 300ft away, it got all by itself to the green, close to the hole, and inside the hole.

"We need to leave Yoshi's team behind too, so give Peach's team a hand."

"...Okay, this is really stupid now." Lakitu said yawning as Toadsworth's ball rolled inside the hole by itself. "...Zzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"..." Another Lakitu came in and slapped the first Lakitu.

"THE BOWSER FANGS WIN THE GOLF EVENT! The Peach Fencers come in second place and the Yoshi Islanders stay in the last position!"

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!" The Bowser Fangs cheered after this.

"Oh well, we did this just fine." Peach said giggling a little.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT US?!" Yoshi said dropping to his knees. "WE COULD HAVE WON! BUT MALLOW MADE US TO LOSE!"

"...W-w-w-w-what?" Mallow stopped trying to hit the ball and his eyes got teary all of a sudden.

"The bombs are going to explode in 1 minute, let's get out of here!" Charizard whispered to all the team and they ran away, with the Wario Bros. arguing, but they hid in a spot out of the bombs's reach area.

Music stops

"...Huh?" Mario looked up to see a lot of dark clouds gathering, then he looked at Mallow and gasped. "Geno! Is Mallow about to cry?!"

"Y-yes! B-but I can't stop him, he is going to do you-know-what!" Geno yelled from afar trying his best to calm Mallow down.

"Oh mama mia! Mallow is going to do it again!"

"W-what do you mean by it?" Chris asked with a patch on his left eye.

"Mallow calls clouds to make rain when he cries, but that's not the worst part!" Mario said alarmed and suddenly, very loud sounds from thunders came from the sky.

"W-what do you mean by that? It gets worse?!" Chris asked terrified.

"Y-yes...much worse...this only happened one time in the past, it almost destroyed the entire Land's End!"

"...Mario, you're starting to make no sense and to scare me at the same tim-"

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The World Traveler sweatdropped and looked above him. "....T-THAT WAS THE LOUDEST THUNDER I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE BEFORE!"

"WE NEED TO GET OUR BUTTS OUT OF HERE AND FAST!" Mario yelled loudly panicking.

"(If Mallow's action was enough to make Mario say butts, it must be very dangerous!) GUYS! HURRY UP AND ESCAPE FROM THIS PLACE!"

"IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" Luigi yelled screaming from behind.

Squirtle rolled his eyes when it started to rain. "It's just rain, for the love of Arceus, why can't people enjoy a little rain?" Squirtle asked smiling opening his arms to the sky.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The Tiny Turtle Pokémon got zapped by a powerful thunder and their jaws dropped a little. "...I...hate this..."

More thunders came from above and Kirby and Jigglypuff hugged each other trembling. "P-please! Tell me we're going to be fine!" Jigglypuff asked trembling with fear.

"LOOK OUT!" Red yelled after a devastating thunder fell on a tree from far away, who got burned and started a forest fire, even the rain couldn't stop it.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Mallow cried veru loudly, causing the thunders to become more wild.

"MALLOW! CALM DOWN! YOU DIDN'T MADE US TO LOSE, NOW STOP CRYING!" Geno yelled louder.

"PLEASE, BEFORE I TURN INTO STAR SOUP!" Twink yelled hiding in Geno's cape.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Mallow continued to cry still and Geno grabbed him and ran towards his team with an alarmed Olimar before thunder divided the suspended field in half.

"...All this madness caused by that crybaby cloud? How can that even be possible?!" Charizard asked in his hiding spot, before an enormous tree fell nearby in flames.

"...OH NO!" Dedede yelled shocked.

"What is it penguin?!"

"THE SUBSPACE BOMBS! ALL THE TREES! ALL THE SUBSPACE BOMBS ARE BEING DESTROYED OR CRUSHED BY THE TREES!"

Charizard's jaw dropped. "Y-you gotta be kidding me!"

"No! It's the truth!" Lava Piranha Plant came from the ground and Petey waved at him. "All the bombs are being destroyed in this replica of a war!"

"PAPA! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Bowser Jr. cried hugging Bowser.

"Jr! Be a man and face this destr-" Bowser felt the ground shaking violently and he looked around frantically. "SCREW IT! I'M OUT OF HERE!" Bowser yelled calling his Koopa Klown Car and escaped with his son.

"PRINCESSESES AND KIDS FIRST!" Daisy's voice was heard in all the chaos.

"ME TOO!" DK yelled.

"L-Lucario! D-don't leave my side please, I-I'm so scared!" Chris said hugging Lucario's back.

"Grrr, we have to get out of here!" Lucario yelled.

"B-but where?! All the trees and the fire are preventing us from escaping!" Fox yelled.

There was another earthquake and they looked to the grass. "I-I don't like where is this going anymore!" Yoshi said trembling and ducking in fear.

"...THE PLATFORM IS FALLING APART!" Ivysaur yelled.

And the platform did that, the platform splitted into 2 big-halfs and all the teams fell into the depths of the jungle, screaming and yelling scared.

"WE'RE DEAD!" Kirby yelled crying with Jigglypuff.

"AND THANKS TO MALLOW!" Yoshi yelled angrily as Mallow continued to cry louder.

"YOSHI, YOU'RE NOT HELPING AT ALL!" Geno yelled angrily.

"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" Luigi yelled passing them, and a Waddle Dee fell from Dedede's coat and it looked at Luigi, who screamed like a girl of 1st grade. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!"

"EVERYONE, HOLD ON!" Fox yelled.

"TO WHAT?!" Olimar yelled panicking.

"MARIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Peach yelled scared as Mario dove faster to catch her.

"I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER LIFE BY THIS!" Chris yelled, crying on Lucario's shoulder.

"NOBODY WILL DIE!" Lucario yelled.

Meanwhile, all the Lakitus were escaping but one was still recording all the teams falling. "Er...ow...oh no!" A tree's bark fell from the sky and it hit the camera.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

Peach Dome

All the crowd was very shocked at this that they began to panic a little, they looked at the screen to see if they could get a small view of the event, but all they got was:

We're sorry, but we're experiencing technical difficulties right now at the moment, please wait

And the advice was there in the screen along with a Toad's mushroom head in the floor as same Toad had a towel above his head, trying to get the head and avoid getting seen without his mushroom head.

The crowd went silent for a moment before looking down at the center of the dome, where slowly, one by one, all the golfers came walking through the halls and to the center, making the crowd to go wild and cheer loudly.

Though, in reality, all of them looked like if they just went to a war and came back, many had their clothes ripped, blood trails on their noses, some were moaning a little, even Bowser and Jr. couldn't escape in time and got severly injured.

The only 2 characters that weren't hurt were Peach and Chris, Peach because Mario protected her from all the pieces of wood from the sky (poor plumber, he broke a leg in the process) and Chris because Lucario shielded him (even Lucario called forth his aura to grab a gigantic piece of wood to save them in time).

"I can't...believe we survived...that cataclysm..." Geno said, with his hat ripped.

"I-I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." Mallow said burying his face in his hands.

Geno looked above the dome and more clouds began to gather. "Mallow, it wasn't your fault, now please, try to cheer up."

Mallow uncovered his face and the clouds disappeared. "...T-thanks..."

Chris looked at the screen showing Congo Canopy...or what used to be Congo Canopy. "...Lucario..."

"Yes...Chris?" Lucario asked panting, dropped on his knees.

"...I think Mallow made a perfect replica of Bahgdad."

Lucario looked at the screen, all the trees were destroyed, turning into dust that perfectly looked like sand, and some trees were still burning. "...God..."

"Hey, the leaders are going to say who are they going to disqualify from their teams." Ivysaur said (a fang lost from his mouth).

"Now...Princess...can you please say...who are you going...to disqualify?" Toadsworth asked (his cane broken and part of his mustache was ripped).

"Hmm...well...you." Peach said.

"Oh ho ho ho! What a joy! I'm disqualified an-" Toadsworth paused when Peach's eyes widened a little. "...Er, I mean, what disappointment...oh no..."

"...The next one will be...hmm...DK."

DK's jaw dropped in shock. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! First, Congo Canopy was destroyed, and now, I'm disqualified!"

"DK! I'm still in this!" Diddy said.

"..." DK groaned a little but patted Diddy's back. "Aw, that's good, at least one of us will continue in this, try to win this for me, pal!"

"My turn!" Bowser yelled and quickly decided his first 2 teammates. "WARIO! WALUIGI! BOTH OF YOU, SCRAM!"

"(BEEP) you!" Wario and Waluigi flipped Bowser off, fortunately, their fingers were censored.

"It's Yoshi's turn, I wonder who is he going to disqualify?" Chris asked as Yoshi put his finger close to his mouth and looked at his team (his all badly beaten up team).

"Yoshi?... Would you please decide?" Toadsworth asked.

"Hmm..." Yoshi thought harder.

"Nice trousers you're wearing now." Olimar remarked Petey's blue trousers, because the last ones were ripped.

"...Olimar, isn't your helmet broken?" Jigglypuff asked (hair messed up).

Olimar looked at his helmet and found a hole in it. "Ah, yes, it is, fortunately, I don't think there's oxygen in this planet."

"Why do you ask that?"

"Oxygen is deadly poison to me, good thing there isn't any of that here or else I'd die!"

"...Olimar..."

"Yes?"

"...There IS oxygen here so..."

Olimar's face turned purple in a second and he began to gasp for breath. "UGH! ACK! SOMEBODY!"

"GUYS! OLIMAR IS CHOKING!"

"...Huh? OLIMAR!" Chris yelled worried and ran towards Olimar, and he quickly blocked the hole and Olimar's face returned to his normal color.

"T-THANKS!" Olimar said breathing heavily.

"...Olimar!" Yoshi decided.

"...W-why did he say my name?"

"Because...he just disqualified you." Red said (backpack with a hole and left black eye).

"...Oh...teabags..." Olimar said snapping his fingers.

"Well," Chris unblocked the hole. "I think he did it just for your safety an-"

"CHRIS! THE HOLE!" Jigglypuff reminded him as Olimar began to choke again.

"S-SORRY OLIMAR!" Chris said blocking the hole again and sighed in relief.

"Whew! ...Well...I sort of...didn't want to participate in tennis..." Olimar revealed.

At that moment, Geno walked towards Yoshi and returned to his team. "What did you say to Yoshi?" Kirby asked (cast on right arm).

"Geno!" Yoshi decided and Kirby looked at Geno with a worried look.

"Sorry, I'm not into sports so, I quit." Geno said.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Good thing the golf event ended now," Chris said and looked at all the other characters. "Everything went nuts just a while ago."

"At least...we survived that..." Fox said (scouter broken and belt missing, along with his Blaster). "Damm, I lost my Blaster...it probably got crushed in some tree..."

"...Hmm..." Chris ducked to see Fox and the vulpine looked at him.

"What is it?"

"I'm just surprised."

"For what?"

"Your boots," Chris pointed at Fox's boots. "I mean, they look like they haven't been scratched at all."

"Oh, my boots?" Fox knocked one of them and it made a metal sound. "These boots aren't ordinary, they were made with the best metal and iron from Corneria, not even Link's Master Sword can make a cut on them."

"Falco's boots are also made like yours, right?"

"Exactly, both of us talked to Slippy to made stronger boots for the next tournament, not even the strongest bite can pierce through them, the bluckles are the hardest part and the strongest part of my kicks."

"Wow, I didn't know that before."

"We are going to take a break of 2 hours before the tennis event, so please rest and eat something to recover your energies." Toadsworth announced, before every single character fell to the ground exhausted.

Entrance of Peach Dome

"Hmmmm..."

"Hmmmmmm..."

"Hmmmm..."

"Do you like the ice cream I bought to you Lucario?"

Lucario nodded smiling and continued to lick his ice cream, as Chris rubbed his head and laughed heartily.

"That is your reward for saving my life in the woods, you looked so strong holding that big piece of wood!" Chris said laughing heartily and Lucario waged his tail a little, but Chris sweatdropped after looking at everyone else. "...But since Kirby pleaded to me, I had to buy ice cream for everyone else."

"Yum!" Kirby finished his 3rd ice cream and grabbed his 4th one from the 10 he had with him.

"...Okay, let's see, 14 persons, 24 ice creams counting Kirby's, 10 Smash Coins counting as 10 Mushroom Coins for each ice cream, multiply it by 24 and we have...240 Smash Coins spent in ice cream...well, we could have bought more." Kirby looked at him with glittering eyes. "...Er...I mean...we couldn't..." Kirby looked down ashamed before the ice cream cheered him up.

"I finish." Olimar said, with a big bandaid covering the hole on his helmet.

"...How did you eat yours with the helmet on anyway?" Jigglypuff asked licking her ice cream.

"Sometimes, I'd wish people don't ask me how."

"...Eww..." Jigglypuff shuddered and continued to lick her ice cream.

Yoshi was looking down sadly and Mallow looked at him. "Yoshi, please, cheer up!"

"I can't..." Yoshi replied shaking slowly his head.

"Your ice cream is melting, you have to eat it before it melts."

"I don't wanna..." Yoshi said throwing the ice cream away (which Kirby sucked up and burped happily).

"Cheer up, we only lost one event, we still have 2 more events to win!" Ivysaur said eating the cone.

"But if Bowser's team wins another event, they will win the whole festival!"

Red stopped licking his ice cream and looked at Yoshi. "W-what?"

"So, in other words, 2 events won by a team means the end of the festival." Geno said.

Squirtle came in burping a little after finishing his ice cream, with Fox following him. "Where were you?" Red asked.

"We went to see how is the tennis event, it's going to be with doubles."

"The tennis event will be with doubles?" Yoshi asked.

"Yes, but I know something, they're going to decide with who." Fox said.

"More reasons to end up with an unexpected partner..." Chris said.

"Fortunately, I told Mario how are we going to play and he went to Toadsworth." Squirtle said.

"Please, tell me you paired me up with Lucario!" Chris asked and Squirtle nodded. "Phew, thanks, Lucario likes t-" Lucario quickly blocked his mouth again.

"I told him you and Lucario were going to be doubles, Red, Ivysaur, me and Jigglypuff, Yoshi and Kirby and Fox and Mallow."

"I'm looking forward to the kart racing event, I hope I can make it there!" Mallow said running on his feet.

Peach Dome

"Okay, I need to put this on Toadsworth's desk and the doubles will be decided! I hope I get paired up with Toadette to calm her down!" Toad said happily carrying 3 papers with the names of the 24 participants. "Oww!" He tripped and the papers were released, all of them went floating towards a corner of the hallway, where a red claw took it, 5 seconds later, it returned back the papers. "Where are they? ...Oh, there they are." Toad ducked, took back the papers and walked away humming the Super Mario Bros. theme.

"Heheheheh, let's see now if we can win this event..." Charizard appeared from the corner smirking evily and burning down 3 familiar papers with his mouth, before he walked away to the darkness of the halls.

Entrance of Peach Dome

"Just by curiosity," Jigglypuff began. "If there was a secondary partner, who would that be for each one of us? I'd select Kirby!"

"I'd choose Jigglypuff!" Kirby said finishing his 7th ice cream.

"Well, I'd choose Mallow." Red said.

"Same here." Squirtle and Ivysaur said nodding.

"Sounds good to me!" Mallow said.

"Hmm...I think I'd like to participate with Fox." Chris said.

"I'd say the same as Chris." Fox said nodding.

"...Then..." Chris looked at Lucario and Yoshi. "...I think that left an interesting but sick idea in my mind..."

"...What was that?" Lucario asked opening one eye.

"...Well...I'd rather have Kirby..." Yoshi said looking away.

Lucario looked at Yoshi and shrugged. "...Well...I'd rather have Red, Ivysaur or Squirtle, no offense."

"None taken." Yoshi said closing his eyes and nodding.

"My my," Chris adjusted his glasses who shone creepily. "The day that happens I'll bring a camera and take a picture of it."

"Since when do you wear glasses?" Twink asked, trying to finish his ice cream on a bench.

Chris threw the glasses and hyperveliates a little. "What glasses? I don't see any glasses!" He calms down. "Anyway, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to look for the Subspace Bombs around the area, I could use Olimar's help." Geno said.

"Don't forget me!" Twink said burping a little.

"O-okay, as long as my Pikmins are with me, I won't complain." Olimar said looking to his back, where his Pikmins were gone.

That moment, Petey came in sucking up 6 leaves and smiled proudly, then Olimar looked and waved at him. "...Oh, screw them, they're stupid." Chris said frowning.

"Participants, please report to the dome and see your partners, repeat, participants, please report to the dome and see your partners." Toadsworth announced.

"That's our call!" Jigglypuff said running to the dome with everyone else except Geno, Twink and Olimar.

"Good luck!" Twink said waving at them.

"We'll search for the bombs, try not to lose!" Geno said.

"Say hi to Petey!" Olimar said.

"Hell no!" Chris yelled annoyed.

Hallway

The other participants were there seeing the boards for the doubles, upon more inspection, it looked like Peach and Daisy, Diddy and Birdo, Mario and Luigi, Toad and Toadette, Bowser and Charizard, Dedede and Boo, Petey and Bowser Jr., Koopatroopa and Paratroopa got in doubles, neither of them were complaining and they walked away.

"Who needs to see the boards? We know with who already!" Kirby said walking pass the board.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if we ended up like this, Red, Ivysaur, Squirtle and me, Jigglypuff and Kirby, Yoshi and Lucario and Chris and Fox like the board says!" Mallow said walking pass the boards with the others...before they returned without turning their backs and looked at the boards, shocked.

"What the? Squirtle! You said you told Mario!" Ivysaur said glaring at Squirtle.

"I-I'm pretty sure I did, but this wasn't it!" Squirtle said worried.

"Suckers!" King Dedede came in and laughed at them. "By now, you should have figured out all the traps from the golf event were made by us!"

"Weeeee pretty much knew that from the beginning." Mallow said scratching his back.

"...What?"

"Dude, you were like, talking to the grass all day long." Squirtle said.

"And we're not blind, there were bumps on the grass and the green." Ivysaur said.

"...Yeeesss, I knew that too..." Yoshi said chuckling nervously, before looking at the board shocked.

"...Well! It doesn't matter! You can't prove anythin' without proof, and you will be forced to play the tennis event with your most hated partner! Hahahahahaha!" Dedede laughed loudly.

"..." Everyone looked at each other before Chris, Fox, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Mallow, Kirby and Jigglypuff bursted out laughing and dropped to the floors, holding their stomachs in pain as Dedede got confused and scratched his forehead.

"...I don't get ya all..."

"You idiot, you paired us with our second prefered partner!" Jigglypuff said rolling and laughing.

"...WHAT?!"

"Okay, we can't mess this up now, let's go!" Mallow said and everyone ran outside to the center of the dome, as Dedede's right eye twitched before stomping the floor in fury.

"I'LL GET YA ALL! ESPECIALLY YOU KIRBY!" Dedede proclaimed angrily and ran to the center as well.

...The camera looks back at the board and we see Yoshi and Lucario with shocked expressions, staring at their faces on the boards, one standing besides the other.

"..." Yoshi didn't speak.

"..." Lucario didn't too.

"...Are you good at tennis by the way?" Yoshi broke the silence.

"...I'm afraid to say it but...I'm think I'm very good, Chris told me once."

Yoshi took out a ball and a racket and handed it to him. "Let me see your first serve."

"...Fine." Lucario nodded, he threw the ball above him, raised the racket behind him and delivered a strong hit that went crossing the other side of the wall...or 5 walls and Yoshi watched the holes with wide eyes.

"...WE HAVE THE TROPHY IN THE BAG!" Yoshi said jumping, flailing his legs happily.

Center of the dome

All the teams except for the disqualified characters (DK, Wario and Waluigi) were there in the lines, each one were given a racket with the initial of their names or a sign or emblem.

"Hey, is this some kind of a joke? I got a racket that has "U SUCK!" on the center!" Chris said tapping his foot impatiently.

"Heheheheh." Charizard chuckled evily before Chris got a racket with the "C" in light blue color.

"Welcome, current participants, to the next event, the tennis event!" Toadsworth (healed) said in the speaker and the crowd cheered loudly for this. "As with the golf event, the tennis event is going to be different as well, following tournament rules!"

"Spit it out!" Bowser Jr. yelled.

"Okay, seeing you eagerness to start, the tournament will be all about mini-games!"

"Mini-games!" Kirby yelled excited.

"There are mini-games in tennis?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Yes, fortunately, they're fun to play." Yoshi explained.

"Artist on the Court, please let Artist on the Court be the first mini-game." Chris muttered crossing his fingers.

"There are 12 doubles, 4 for each team, this event will be an eliminatory match between 2 doubles against each other, the events can be of who gets the highest score or who have met the conditions to win!"

"SAY THE MINI-GAMES ALREADY!"

"Chris, calm down." Fox said calmly.

"The first mini-game will be, Artist on the Court!" Toadsworth announced and the crowd cheered loudly.

"YES!" Chris joined his hands happily.

"The identity of the other mini-games will be said after the first mini-game ends!" Toadsworth pointed at the screen, showing how the mini-game is going be played. "Doubles will have the task to compete against another doubles, the rules are simple, the first team who can get their wall with the right paint color on the right area will win and advance to the semi-final of another mini-game! To win, you must see the color of the pipe and a ball of the same color will pop out right after the pipe changes, bouncing towards you in any part of the court!"

"Sounds easy, don't you think?" Yoshi asked.

"I guess so..." Lucario trailed off.

"Just...try not to get hit by them, or else you'll end up messed up with paint."

"I'll take that in mind."

"Now, here they are, the doubles and their rivals!" Toadsworth announced as the screen shows all the rivals for each double, from left to right in the brackets, meaning if the first, third and fifth brackets lose or win, they will advance to the next part.

Toad & Toadette VS Bowser & Charizard
Peach & Daisy VS Red, Ivysaur, Squirtle & Mallow
Birdo & Diddy VS Yoshi & Lucario
Bowser Jr. & Petey Piranha VS Fox & Chris
Mario & Luigi VS Koopatroopa & Paratroopa
Boo & Dedede VS Kirby & Jigglypuff

"W-why do we have to face them?" Toad asked pointing at Bowser and Charizard, who chuckled evily.

"Hush! They're nothing!" Toadette said putting her hands on her hips.

"Say that in my face." Charizard in a deep tone, making Toad to hide behind Toadetted.

"Heh, twerps." Bowser mocked.

"Hey! Why do we have to face against 4 guys? That's not fair!" Daisy said angrily.

"H-hey! Only 1 of 3 of us play!" Red argued back. "However, we have freedom to change whenever we can!"

"Peach! Say something!"

"Hmm...they can do that, according to a letter I got from Master Hand." Peach said.

"In your face!" Squirtle, Ivysaur and Mallow said in unison.

"WHAT?! THAT CREEP WHO DIDN'T ACCEPT ME IN THE TOURNAMENT?! I'M GONNA GIVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND LATER AN-"

Luigi tried to calm Daisy down. "Daisy! Not again please!"

"Here we go again..." Mario said frowning.

"Should we tell him?" Koopatroopa whispered to his partner.

Paratroopa looked to Bowser, who glared at him. "...B-but...what will our previous boss say about this?" Paratroopa asked trembling.

"...Maybe we should when Bowser doesn't see us..."

"Please, let's win! I wanna play against him!" Diddy said to Birdo, pointing to Fox who shook his head witn an angry expression.

"Diddy! Birdo! You have to get through us first!" Yoshi said pointing at him.

"Y-Yoshi..." Birdo looked away.

"And you!"

"Yoshi, don't start an argument." Lucario said.

"...Grr, fine." Yoshi crossed his arms and looked away.

"...Yoshi..." Birdo muttered and looked down.

"Whatever you do, please win your match." Fox said to Yoshi.

"...May I ask why?" Yoshi asked.

"Diddy, that's why." Fox looked at Diddy, who was staring at him with the same creepy smile. "DK! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Diddy! Stop it!" DK yelled from the crowd and Diddy walked away.

"Ha! Loser! Hey you! Loser! Over here!" Bowser Jr. called Chris and the World Traveler looked at him. "Ha! I made you to look at me, loser!"

"H-hey! You little!" Chris said angrily.

Petey merely roared and let some leaves drop from his mouth.

"...I won't ask from where did those come from..." Chris said frowning.

"2 puffballs! This couldn't have gone better!" Dedede said laughing.

"Nieheheheheh!" Boo laughed.

"Pfft, Gastlys are far scarier than you," Jigglypuff said rolling her eyes. "What about you Kirby?"

Kirby's stomach grumbled. "...I want to eat something..."

"...You just ate 10 ice creams! One of them was a weird sea-salt ice cream!"

"The last one was goooooooooooood."

"Tennis players!" Toadsworth clapped his hands to get the attention of everyone. "We shall now enlarge the dome to hold all the 6 matches at the same time!"

"...What?" Yoshi asked confused.

Toadsworth took out a button from his back, pressed it and an earthquake was created, all the players ran away from the big cross that divided the dome in 4, the crowd remained seated on their benches and the dome began to enlarge by itself, from the hole of the big cross, walls without color and pipes came out on a big and large platform, there were 12 walls, 24 pipes loaded with different colors, and even more crowds appeared from the hallways and filled the extra seats that appeared, making the dome even gigantic and enormous.

"Teams," Toadsworth began. "Prepare to play tennis, on the first mini-game, Artists on the Court!!!" The crowd cheered loudly at this as all the players took their positions in their assignated courts.

"Wow, that was incredible!" Chris said in awe.

"Stay sharp, we have a wall to paint!" Fox said.

Chris looked at the painting...it was Diddy on his jetpack flying to the west as Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha's painting.

"...Damm it!" Fox cursed.

Preview of the next chapter

"...Let's face it! There's something stuck in the pipe!" Chris said.

"Maybe the ball got stuck?" Fox asked and walked towards the pipe to see what was the problem.

...

"Don't throw up, don't throw up..." Red said trying not to throw up after seeing the water below the platform...but he did it. "BLUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"Gross!" Ivysaur, Squirtle and Mallow said disgusted.

...

"The finalists will use items to win the last round...on Balloon Panic!" Toadsworth said.

"I HATE that game!" Chris said angrily.

...

"Baseball! Baseball! Baseball!" Red said excited.

"I don't want to run..." Jigglypuff said worried.

...

"Next time: Tennis and Baseball, return and it's getting away!" Mallow said.

Artist on the Court

"...W-wait, I think we should look like if we have the same team but with the same clothes." Chris said.

"What do you mean?" Fox asked.

"I mean, this!" Chris changed to his Space Mercenary job. "Okay! I think this feels better now boss!" Chris said saluting Fox.

"That's fine with me, but you don't have to call me boss."

"Nope! It says here on the manual for the novice member for the Star Fox team, written by Peppy Hare himself!" Chris said taking a manual from his back.

"...How did that end with you?"

"Who knows boss!" Chris threw the manual away. "Also, I recall that if a member should lost his weapons, he or she needs to have a replacement or the same weapon!" Chris took out another Blaster from his back. "And I happen to have another one with me, take it boss, I'm not going to lose mine like yours!"

Fox took the Blaster and placed it on his belt. "Well, than-"

"Hold on a second boss!"

"W-what is it?"

"The manual also specifies that the leader should follow the rules to show an example of leadership to his or her team too, where is your replacement?"

Fox began to sweat. "I-I left it with Falco."

"Hmm, boss, I suspecting of you!"

"(Wait, if I'm his boss then...) A-TTENTION!"

Chris made a salute. "Yes, sir!"

Fox sweatdropped and didn't think of talking like this before. "Since I'm your boss, all the regulations need to be followed by the boss himself, correct?"

"Of course boss!"

"Then hear my orders! You will stop talking like a soldier and to remind your boss of rules that he should know by now, understand?!"

"YES, SIR!... Wait..."

"Got you."

Chris sweatdropped and looked down. "Oh...well...you're my boss so...I'll listen..."

"If you're asking what color your painting needs, look below you to find the image of the cleared painting, the flashing parts are the parts where it needs the correct paint. And now, we begin!" Toadsworth announced pressing down a button, that ordered the 24 pipes to throw paint balls to the tennis players.

Bowser and Charizard's painting was Mario's face as Toad and Toadette's,
Peach and Daisy's was Peach with Toad and Toadette as Squirtle and Mallow's painting, Birdo and Diddy's painting was Luigi about to hit a ball as Yoshi and Lucario's, previously, Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha was Diddy with his jetpack as Chris and Fox's painting, Mario and Luigi's painting was a lot of different Yoshis like Koopatroopa and Paratroopa's painting, and lastly, Boo and Dedede's painting was Bowser with Bowser Jr. as Kirby and Jigglypuff's painting.

"Why the hardest one for us?!" Luigi complained hitting a green ball to the white Yoshi.

"Relax Luigi, everyone wants to see us to paint this one!" Mario reassured him, hitting a black ball to the black Yoshi's mouth.

"Hey, dragon! Tell the plant to act and make every double of my team to win!" Bowser whispered as he hit a blue ball to Mario's hat.

"Plant, do your work now." Charizard whispered, evading a green ball.

"Right-o." Lava Piranha Plant said nodding in the darkness of the grass of the court, smirking evily as he snuck his way quickly to every part of the court.

"...Okay, we have trouble with this one..." Chris said sweatdropping after seeing their painting, Diddy's mouth was red, his fur was blue, his eyes were black, the fires were violet and the background was brown. "I-I think this mini-game is hard to complete."

"Fortunately, I know what to hit and touch!" Fox said spotting a red ball flying towards him, but he ran after it.

"Sorry, but no."

A bump appeared on Fox's path and the vulpine tripped, not only that, the ball hit him and got spilled all over his face as he fell to the grass. "..."

"...Fox...Boss?" Chris took a closer look to Fox.

"...Ugh..." Fox rubbed his forehead and got up, noticing Chris chuckling at him. "...What?"

"Y-your face...heheheh..."

"..." Fox touched his face and looked to his hand before he gasped. "What the, hey! Where is that bump?!"

"Bump?"

"Yes, there was a bump that appeared out of nowhere and made me to trip!"

"I don't recall seeing one..."

"Now let's have some more fun."

"Hey! We're skipping a lot of paint balls, we should get back to play now!" Chris said hitting a blue ball that crashed into the background. "Bull's-eye!"

"That wasn't a bull's eye, the target was very big." Fox pointed out.

"You always have to ruin my fun, don't you?"

We change the perspective to Toad and Toadette, who were having trouble with the sudden bumps from the grass, Toad tripped in every last one of them but didn't get hit by a paint ball.

"Hahahahaha! Look at him tripping!" Bowser laughed loudly, hitting a cream ball to Mario's nose.

"...Wait, no! But look at her!" Charizard yelled pointing at Toadette.

Toadette was shown with fire on her eyes and she took advantage of every bump to jump in the air and hit the balls back to the painting, surprisingly, she was hitting every part of the painting with perfect accuracy. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Toadette yelled loudly hitting all the balls with speed as Toad watched in awe.

"T-Toadette! A-are you okay?!" Toad asked trembling with fear as Toadette ran around the court hitting every ball.

"HOW IN THE HELL IS SHE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OU-" Charizard's mouth was blocked by Bowser.

"Shh! We can't let the other people to know about our plan!" Bowser whispered angrily to him.

"...Fine, alright, what do we do? At this rate, we're going to be defeated by those twerps!"

"START HITTING BALLS!" Bowser yelled loudly hitting a brown ball to Mario's hair.

"Kirby and Jigglypuff have won the game!" Toadsworth announced astonished.

"What?!" King Dedede asked in shock, he glanced over Kirby and Jigglypuff's painting at it was already painted with the right colors. "B-but how did the puffballs end so soon?!"

"Hiiii!" Kirby waved at Dedede, the king looked at Kirby and was shocked after seeing a hat with paints and a brush on Kirby's right hand, Kirby was also covered with paint in some places, since he absorbed a paint ball and turned into Paint Kirby to shoot the correct balls to each part.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"That's it! I'm out of here!" Boo said throwing his racket to the grass and disappeared, but he was there, sobbing while he was invicible.

"Yes! We're on the lead now!" Yoshi said happily dodging a green ball. "...Wait..." Yoshi looked to Lucario's racket, which was all covered with paint. "...Hey, what's wrong with your racket?"

"I don't know, but I've been hitting all of them." Lucario said as he hit a black ball, but as he hit the ball, Lucario's force was just too much for the ball to handle that it got destroyed and was spilled all over Lucario's racket and the grass. "I don't know why there isn't any of them in the wall."

"It's because you have been hitting each one of them with so much force!!!" Yoshi yelled loudly pointing at Lucario's racket. "They're PAINT balls, meaning they're SOFT!"

"...Really? I thought they were just painted tennis balls."

Yoshi smacked his forehead and frowned at this. "Oh man...I think you're not good in this...I think we should withdr-" A fast, brown ball hit Yoshi's face and the dinosaur fell to the grass. "W-who threw that paint ball to me?!"

"Yoshi, dare to withdraw and you'll be sorry, and I mean it!" Fox said from his court, glaring at Yoshi with his racket pointing at him.

Chris tripped again by another bump and looked up to Fox. "I didn't think you really hated Diddy that much! Why is that?"

"Just looking at him can make me to shudder, I mean, look at his face!" Fox pointed to Diddy, who was staring at both doubles. "Stop that! Can't you play for a chance?"

"...If you didn't notice, he's playing." Lucario reminded him, pointing at Diddy's tail with his racket hitting every ball that was going to pass him, the monkey showed his teeth with a smile to both doubles, who sweatdropped in unison.

"...Boss..." Chris muttered.

"...Yes?" Fox looked down to Chris.

"If Diddy has a creepy obssesion with you...then that means he's the "G" word..."

"Hmm..." Fox began to think before he gasped and returned to hit the paint balls quickly.

"Oh, boss! You really know how to show it to m-"

"STOP TALKING LIKE THAT AND GIVE ME A HAND, QUICKLY!" Fox said, not caring about how many times was he tripping.

"...Well, those bumps are still annoying, but I'll go with you nevertheless!" Chris said cheerfully (or creepily) as he slowly got up and continued to hit the balls.

"No fair!" Daisy said annoyed after glancing at her rival team, where Ivysaur was shown hitting the paint balls...using Vine Whip to reach them in time without moving as Mallow watched from behind surprised. "Peach! They're cheating, do something!"

"I'm sorry, but Ivysaur can't use anything else to hit the balls so he will resort using his vines." Peach said calmly as she hit a red ball with a smash move, hitting the right part of Toad's mushroom.

"B-but Peach!"

Ivysaur yawned and decided to move to the right and to the left, decreasing the Vine Whip's length to do some exercise. "This is tooooooo hard..." Ivysaur complained sarcastically.

"Keep it like that!" Red cheered from the back of the court, with Squirtle above his head (how did the turtle remain on his head if Squirtle was bigger was odd).

"I think WE have the trophy on the bag!" Squirtle said doing a high-five with Red.

"Can I play? I want to!" Mallow said to Ivysaur.

"Meh, go ahead, I'll keep the balls from getting away." Ivysaur said stepping back as Mallow went forwards.

"Not a chance."

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Mallow tripped by the sudden bump and Squirtle gasped a little and jumped off from Red's head.

"Mallow! Are you okay?" Red asked.

"I'm...I'm fine but..." Mallow got up. "Something made me to trip!"

"...Huh?" Ivysaur shook his head to wake up. "Something made you to trip? Then that means this is Charizard's doing all over again!"

"Charizard! Stop this!" Red yelled angrily to Charizard, who was panting heavily to catch up with the Toads.

"You're...not...my...boss or something!" Charizard yelled panting as he ducked his head to evade a brown ball.

"Time to get the plan on wheels...wait, that sounded stupid..."

Lava Piranha Plant's work was becoming even more evident because even more bumps appeared on the grass which weren't with Bowser's team.

"What the?!" Mario stopped right in front of a bump that just appeared. "Was this here befor-"

"AAAHHH!" Luigi tripped just behind Mario and both fell to the grass, 3 balls of paint hitting their backs. "M-Mario, what's happening?!"

"I-I don't know! These bumps appeared out of nowhere just now!"

"Daisy, be careful please!" Peach said as she spotted the bumps on her court.

"Always do, don't worry!" Daisy said using the bumps to jump to the air and hit the balls as Toadette.

"Junior! Get to work with the plan!" Bowser said to Jr. as he tried to catch up with Toadette as she didn't even care about the bumps, as long as they helped her reach the high balls.

"Oww!" Toadsworth tripped by a vine that appeared behind the stage's screen and it quickly hid to make the Toad from seeing Bowser's plan.

"Okay you 4! This is a warning...or actually, this is what you get for messing with my dad's team and me!" Bowser Jr. said pointing at Yoshi's and Chris's team.

"What's he talking about?" Yoshi asked confused before Bowser Jr. took out his Magic Paintbrush.

"TAKE THIS! Ha! Ha ha! Ha!" Bowser Jr. made 3 rainbow colored paint balls, one went towards Yoshi's painting and 2 went to Chris's painting.

The first ball turned half of Yoshi's painting to its white color while the other 2 balls turned Chris's painting back to white, making both teams to glare at Bowser Jr., even the crowd got angry at this boo'ed the Bowser Fangs.

"You bastard, look what you did!" Chris said angrily.

"I bet Toadsworth saw that!" Yoshi said angrily.

"...Correction, he didn't." Lucario pointed out.

"He's right, look!" Fox pointed at the screen where Toadsworth was slowly getting up, moaning in pain.

"Wait, it is just me or did they..." Yoshi wondered.

"They are trying to take us all out, duh!" Jigglypuff said over a bench with Paint Kirby.

"Then we'll just have to keep playing and watch out for their tricks." Fox said returning to his game as the other did.

"B-but they keep popping out from the grass!" Chris pointed out.

"Wait, the balls are supposed to bounce to us, we need to hit them from one spot!" Yoshi said as he hit another paint ball.

"Remain at your position Chris!" Lucario said hitting a ball, taking note not to break it in the process too.

"Red! How is your team doing?" Chris asked as he focused his mind into the game.

"Good so far, Ivysaur doesn't need to move around and hit them!" Red said as Ivysaur remained in one place and used Vine Whip to return the balls.

"Did you hear that Koopatroopa?" Paratroopa asked.

"Oh no." Chris, Fox, Lucario, Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Mallow said at the same time, word quickly spreaded to Mario's team and they took advantage of this.

"We gave them ideas by accident!" Squirtle said gasping.

"Thanks for pointing the obvious for us, really." Red said frowning.

"Dedede!" Charizard called out.

"What dah ya want?!" Dedede asked appearing behind the court.

"Go and see him."

"...Him?... Oh, right!" Dedede laughed before he ran away to the hallway.

"Looks like they got out from the first plan, then let's try the next one!" Bowser said.

"Plant, now, go and control the dome's roof, cut off the electricity and return everything back to normal, we're going to make Yoshi's team to lose." Charizard whispered to the grass.

"I don't like where is this going anymore Paratroopa..." Koopatroopa whispered to his partner.

"B-but if we tell Mario or Toadsworth, Bowser's going to kill or eat us for dinner." Paratroopa whispered trembling with fear.

"Ha! I'm gonna win Birdo!" Yoshi said happily as he spotted 3 spots without paint.

"Y-Yoshi... (Please, don't be mad at me...)" Birdo thought sadly.

"...Huh?" Diddy looked around the dome and an enormous shadow began to grow in size, he looked up and saw the roof closing as the crowd looked up and got confused, then, when the roof closed, the dome's lights tried to turn on, but it didn't and the crowd began to panic as the tennis players stopped and remained in their places.

"What is happening now?!" Mallow asked.

"Somebody cut the electricity and closed the dome!" Squirtle said.

"How do you know that?" Red asked rolling his eyes.

"BLUARGH!"

"Hey, who's there?!" Fox demanded in the darkness.

"Who's there? What do you mean?" Chris asked.

"There is someone here on our court besides us...but he got away."

"BLUARGH!"

"Grrrr..." Lucario grunted and the darkness and he used his aura to see through it. "T-the painting!"

"What about it?" Yoshi asked.

"BLUARGH!"

"I-I hear someone!" Mallow said trembling.

"Yeah, there was someone here just a moment ago!" Ivysaur said.

The dome began to open again and the lights returned but turned off, however, previous characters that could have sworn someone on their courts gasped when they saw their paintings...

The paintings were all covered in some kind of muddy goo, when the mood slipped from them, the paintings were all brown, preventing them from seeing the colors that the parts needed to have.

"N-no! M-my painting!" Yoshi said gasping and looked to the other paintings. "Y-you too?!"

"Aw, please! We were almost done!" Mallow complained.

"But who did this to us?" Fox asked.

Lucario looked at Petey Piranha, who chuckled smiling as some familiar goo was falling from his mouth. "He did this!"

"Birdo and Diddy win!" Toadsworth announced.

"...No!" Yoshi looked at Birdo's painting, which was completed as Diddy cheered loudly for this.

"Oh, c'mon! This can't be happening!" Fox said frowning.

"But we haven't won yet!" Chris reminded him. "And don't ever think about losing boss!"

"...Chris..." Fox muttered annoyed.

Chris blushed a little. "...Oops, sorry, I got carried away..."

Hallway

"How are we supposed to find those bombs?" Geno asked to Olimar with his 6 new Pikmins.

"I don't know, but this is the first time I get to do something like this..." Olimar looked down.

"Me too, I thought the army was supposed to take the Star Spirits away from us, not blow up bombs."

"W-well, they tried to do that in the Pikmin world..."

"Really? And how did you win?"

"Chris and the others came in to help me out, I was very happy to meet them."

"Yeah, I know what you mean, even if they're not Mario's group, they're a lot of help."

"...May I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"What is the weird guy with the king's coat doing over there talking to the fat man an-"

"HIDE!" Geno pulled Olimar to the corner to hide along with his 6 Pikmins, on the other side of the hallway, Dedede was talking with Wario alone.

"Let me get this straight, so, your boss wants to take me in his army?" Wario asked.

"Yep, that's about it, he promises to give you lots and lots of fame and fortune." Dedede said chuckling.

"Hmm, fortune..." Wario wondered.

"What are they doing?" Olimar whispered.

"Shh, keep it down." Geno whispered back.

"Sorry, but I gotta take care of my business in the incorporation back in Diamond City." Wario said

"Your incorporation? I betcha it's not so great!" Dedede taunted Wario.

"What did you say? Don't dare to insult my incorporation! W-I mean, I make good business!"

Dedede put a hand on his right ear and grinned. "What was that? Were you going to say "we?"

"N-no! All the money is for me and me alone!" Wario said stomping the floor.

"No need to hurry fatty, anyway, we have a deal or not?"

"I'm so gonna refuse your offer penguin!" Wario said walking away as he grumbled to himself.

"Be that way! But! You will regret it later, ya hear me?!" Dedede yelled walking to the opposite direction, passing by Geno and Olimar who revealed themselves after Dedede went away.

"I wonder what were they talking about just now..." Geno wondered.

"S-something about the fat man named Wario to join their army as far as I know." Olimar pointed out.

"But it seemed that they didn't agree after all."

"Maybe because the penguin was taunting him?"

Geno nodded. "Probably and luckily, if they hate each other, it'd be easier to us then."

"What a relief."

"Now, let's go, we should be looking around for the bombs." Geno said walking away to another direction with Olimar and the Pikmins following him.

"W-wait! Do you have any idea how to find them?"

"Not yet, but that isn't an excuse to stop searching, right?"

"...I guess so..."

Center of the dome

"Mario and Luigi win!" Toadsworth announced with enthusiasm as the crowd cheered at the plumbers's victory over the Koopas.

"Y-yes! I did it!" Luigi cheered.

"Ahem..." Mario coughed.

"...Oops, I mean, we did it!"

"Oh, I knew we were going to lose..." Koopatroopa said sadly.

"Aw, don't feel bad, it was still fun." Mario said in his court.

"...T-thanks Mario." Paratroopa said nodding.

"Y-you know, you're not a bad guy as Bowser t-" Koopatroopa stopped talking when Bowser glared at him. "...I-I mean, you know what I mean, right?"

"...Yes, I do." Mario said scratching his hat.

At that moment, back with Chris and Fox, the paint balls stopped coming from the pipe and they got confused.

"Oh no, what now?" Chris asked.

"As far as I know, the balls can't get out." Fox said.

"B-but that's impossible! We're almost done with our painting an-"

"TAKE THIS! Ha! Ha ha! Ha!" Bowser Jr. used once again his Magic Paintbrush to shoot 3 more balls that went splattering on their painting, turning the painting back to its white color.

"...Now I'm mad off..." Chris said trying not to burst out of anger. "And tell me something, Toadsworth DIDN'T see that, right?"

Fox glanced over at Toadsworth, who lost his glasses and looked around for them, probably because a vine quickly hid behind the screen. "...He didn't...."

"Now, try to stop the balls from getting out, that way, junior is going to win." Bowser whispered to the grass.

Lava Piranha Plant was somehow struggling. "Y-yes, b-but I don't think I'm going to hold on much longer!"

"YOU IMBECILE! Remember who's your original boss here!!"

"Y-yes Bowser, I mean, yes sir!"

"TOAD AND TOADETTE WIN AGAINST BOWSER AND CHARIZARD!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!" Bowser asked very shocked at this statement, the king of the Koopas looked at Toad and Toadette's painting that was completed, Bowser wasn't even half completed for his dismay since he was distracted ordering the piranha around.

"Ha! Take that!" Toadette said making a fist.

"Today, we're going to put this victory on the record for the citizens of Mushroom Kingdom against Bowser without the help of Mario!" Toadsworth announced loudly and all the other Toads cheered loudly for this.

"T-this can't be! No way!" Bowser yelled stomping the grass in fury.

"Great going jackass!" Charizard complained to Bowser.

"What did you say?!" Bowser asked angrily, fire preparing to be shoot from his mouth.

"Now now, no fights here." Toadsworth reminded him.

"Hmph!" Bowser crossed his arms and looked away annoyed as Charizard did the same.

"Oh please! They need to come on out now, we're going to lose to that brat!" Chris said pointing to Bowser Jr.

"Hey! Watch your mouth or my Papa is going to crush you both to smitherings!" Bowser Jr. threatened them.

[DededeCloneChris]

"So far, he has lost most of the matches against me." Fox said pointing at him, grinning.

"Wow, boss! You're incredible!" A chibi-style Chris said clapping.

"AHEM!"

Chris turned back to normal. "Oops, sorry..."

"Peach and Daisy win!" Toadsworth announced and the crowd went wild.

"Yes! Yes! I won! Take that!" Daisy said and high-fived Peach and the crowd groaned out loud. "What the?! Hey! what's wrong now?!"

"You said the same thing in the previous chapter!" A pink Pianta yelled from the crowd.

"You stupid little fourth breaker wall Pianta! Come over here and say it in my face an-"

"DAISY!" Luigi yelled holding Daisy by her waist.

"GET OFF ME! I NEED TO SHOW 'EM AND THING OR 2!"

"WAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Luigi cried as Paint Kirby sweatdropped at this.

"Poor Luigi..." Peach muttered.

"...I know, she's scarier than any other person out there..." Jigglypuff whispered trembling.

"N-no! W-why?!" Red asked shocked dropping to his knees. "If it weren't for that muddy goo, we could have won this!"

"Change of words, the trophy wasn't in our bag..." Squirtle said disappointed.

"Sorry." Ivysaur said looking down, before he heard a loud thunder crash above the dome. "Mallow!"

"Ivysaur! Tickle him! Quick!" Red ordered.

"Okay!" Ivysaur used Vine Whip on Mallow's sides and the cloud prince began to laugh out loud as the clouds disappeared from the sky.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mallow laughed.

"Phew, please, we don't want another Congo Canopy here..." Squirtle said sighing in relief.

"So!" Toadsworth began. "It seems we only have 2 doubles left! Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha with 95 percent of their painting done against Chris and Fox with only 11 percent of their painting done! It seems so obvious that Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha are going to win!"

"In your face, furry!" Bowser Jr. said laughing as he hit more paint balls, laughing together with Petey.

"...Let's face it! There's something stuck in the pipe!" Chris said.

"Maybe the ball got stuck?" Fox asked and walked towards the pipe to see what was the problem.

"Found something?"

"Hmm..." Fox looked closer inside. "Nothing, it's like a dark maze in here!"

Below the pipe, we see Lava Piranha Plant's mouth being filled by dozens and dozens of paint balls, the plant didn't enjoy this at all and struggled to hold on or else he'd see Bowser's rage against him.

"UGH!... I... CAN'T... TAKE THIS... ANYMORE!"

"Try to reach the bottom!" Chris yelled outside the pipe.

"...WAIT, NO!"

Fox's hand reached Lava Piranha Plant's mouth and the plant gulped a few paint balls inside.

"Hey, there's something in here, I can feel the paint balls gathering in some place and..." Fox took out his hand, all covered in saliva. "...Eww..."

"WATCH OUT!" Chris yelled.

"For what?" Fox raised an eyebrow and looked back at the pipe, which was trembling and moving awkwardly making Fox to backstep away from it, then, dozens and dozens of paint balls were fired to the air and began to descend to both of them as the crowd stared in awe after seeing the balls rocketing 50 feet above in the dome.

"It's a frenzy of paint balls! What should we do now?!" Chris asked panicking.

"...Um..." Fox thought if he looked around he would find something useful, and how right he was, he glanced over Chris's Blaster, his own and snapped his fingers. "That's it!"

"What?!"

"Chris, we haven't used our combinated Final Smash in some time, care to use it now?" Fox reminded Chris who gasped.

"W-wait, I haven't either bothered in finding them all yet, but that's the only thing we got...but we're just going to destroy the balls an-"

"Trust me, I know something good will happen!"

"B-but in order to use it we have to be under pressure!"

"And it's now!"

"...Wait, you're right!"

Both of them took out their Blasters and waited for the moment when the balls reached the floor. "We're-gonna wiiiiin! We're-gonna wiiiiiiin!" Bowser Jr. sang happily as he and Petey continued to hit the paint balls to their painting.

"Suffer a lot of shots!"

"...Huh?" Petey glanced over Chris's court and looked at all the paint balls falling down, when they were about to reach the grass...

"100 BLASTS!!!" Chris and Fox yelled synchronized and firing a barrage of 99 shots that went across every single paint ball with perfect accuracy, somehow, the shots turned into each paint ball's respective color and went touching Diddy's painting at all the places, painting where the parts that were white and coloring the whole wall, Petey tapped Jr.'s shoulder and the small Bowser looked at him annoyed.

"Can't you see I'm trying to win here?! What is it?!"

"Iuh!" Petey pointed at their opponents.

"What are you trying to tell m-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"Last one!" Chris said charging his Blaster together with Fox's.

"Now!" Fox ordered and both shot their charged shots together that combined and went across the last brown ball, turning their shot into a brown shot and hitting Diddy's fur, the last part of the painting, completing it in the process.

"CHRIS AND FOX MOVE ON TO THE SEMI-FINAL!!!" Toadsworth announced the last team that passed the mini-game as the crowd went wild and cheered loudly for this.

Star Ocean 3: Victory Bell

"The sign of victory!" Chris held out his right hand above him and Fox raised his right hand confused.

"Like this?" Fox asked.

"Yay!" Chris jumped towards him, high-fived and spun in the air to stand at Fox's left side crossing his arms behind his back, smiling proudly of their victory.

"What was that about?" Fox asked blinking confused.

"BLUARGH!" Petey couldn't resist anymore and puked, making everybody on the dome to look disgusted at this.

"This...stiiiinks!" Bowser Jr. smacked his racket to the grass. "This STINKS!" he smashed it harder. "THIS...STINKS!" he sat on the grass and began sobbing. "Uhu...uhu...UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Bowser Jr. flailed his arms and legs, crying out loud.

"(DAMM YOU PIRANHAAAAAAAAA!!!)" Bowser thought enraged and went towards Bowser Jr. "Junior! Be a man and stop crying! We can still win!"

"PAPA!" Bowser Jr. hugged Bowser, both of them were sobbing against each other.

"Now, now jr., you did well, you looked like a total, evil villain back there!"

Bowser Jr. sniffed and looked up to his dad. "Y-you think so Papa?"

"Yes!"

"PAPAAAAAAAA!!!"

"JR!" Both of them hugged each other as the crowd "aww'd" at this. "ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!"

"The final bracket for the semi-finals is this!" Toadsworth announced getting the attention of everyone.

Toad & Toadette VS Peach & Daisy
Birdo & Diddy VS Fox & Chris
Mario & Luigi VS Kirby & Jigglypuff

"Wait, there are 2 doubles of the same team!" Luigi pointed out.

"Hmm, in that case, the leader can decide which 2 of the 4 of them can go the the finals!" Toadsworth said. "But let's leave that for later!"

"...Huh?" Chris looked to Yoshi's court where Lucario looked down in shame, kneeled. "Lucario?" Chris walked towards Lucario and kneeled to see him.

"I...lost..." Lucario said slowly.

"But Lucario, I was able to continue an-(Wait, you dork, that is not going to comfort him!)"

Lucario closed his eyes. "I'm sorry Chris...huh?" Lucario saw Chris hugging him.

"Good job Lucario, I think you would win if it wasn't this event, I know that!"

"...Thanks..." Lucario muttered with a small smile.

"Awwwwww!!!"

Both of them found a Lakitu filming their moment to the whole dome, making them to blush and stopped hugging quickly, looking away embarrassed. "(I thought you didn't care if many looked at us in this kind of moments.)" Lucario said telepathically to Chris.

"(Unfortunately, this is very different!)" Chris replied back.

"Oh no, this is so bad, we only have 2 doubles of my team and Peach's team is still inside!" Yoshi said worried.

This time, Chris was confident of himself and patted Yoshi's back. "Don't worry Yoshi, I'm still in the game! See? I told you YoshixLucario doesn't work an-"

"LUAMP!"

"GET ME OUT OF THIS EGG!!!" Chris yelled inside a Yoshi egg, moving and rolling around the grass since Yoshi ate him and turned him into that.

"Grrr..." Lucario grunted at Yoshi.

"LUAMP!"

"You have got to be kidding me." Lucario said inside his Yoshi egg, not moving at all.

Ricco Harbor

Ricco Harbor

"This, my friends, is the Items event in Gimmicks with Birdo & Diddy VS Chris & Fox!" Toadsworth announced above a platform, hanging just above the court close to another platform with seats, where Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Mallow were cheering at their team.

However, let's say Red had trouble with the water...

"Don't throw up, don't throw up..." Red said trying not to throw up after seeing the water below the platform...but he did it. "BLUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"Gross!" Ivysaur, Squirtle and Mallow said disgusted.

"Somebody call the Pianta Environment Team and clean that mess!" A random blue Noki said far away.

Delfino Plaza

"We also have the items and Gimmicks event of the main city, Delfino Plaza, with Mario & Luigi VS Kirby and Jigglypuff!" Toadsworth announced over Ricco Harbor, in that part, on the seats, Peach, Daisy, Toad and Toadette were there cheering loudly, Olimar and Geno decided to give up in searching the Subspace Bombs and cheer their team, with 6 Pikmins...

...Wait, what is Petey Piranha doing there seated besides Olimar?

"Oh, hey Petey!" Olimar waved at Petey, who waved back laughing. "Weird, I could have sworn my Pikmins were there where you sat just now..." Petey burped and Olimar looked at him. "You were eating that weird soup you talked me about, right?" Petey nodded. "Oh, Petey, why do you keep eating it?"

"Heheheheh..." Petey merely laughed at this while Geno frowned.

"Both teams will participate in Items and Gimmicks events, with the Ricco Harbor court, teams will have to be careful not to bounce their ball on the water blocks that opens depending of which arrows the ball hits, resulting in a fault and a point for the opposite team, also, watch out for the items as well which will complicate the whole thing! Each game will be of 6 game points, the first team who gets a set point wins the event!" Toadsworth explained. "In the Delfino Plaza court, doubles will have to be careful of the muddy goo from the Piranhas Plants and avoid to trip or else the ball will bounce away, watch out for the items too!"

Ricco Harbor

"First off Fox, I'm so glad I got paired up with you by accident, of course, but I'm just happy that I finally got with someone who is at least sociable and intelligent." Chris said.

"Really? Then can you tell me something?" Fox asked.

"Sure?"

"How was it?"

"What?"

"Fighting alongside Wolf and Falco."

"To be honest, with both was a complete disaster, Wolf just thought by himself the whole time and Falco...well...Falco was Falco..."

Fox sweatdropped. "Can you give me more details?"

"Wolf was being such an hypocrite and always went away by himself, while Falco was hungry of Super Mushrooms, you can't believe how many times he asked me to lend him the mushroom until I gave up and made his wish come true. Frankly speaking, you're the next person besides Lucario whom I can talk with without something distracting us from the whole subject." Chris explianed.

"Well, I'm glad to be on your good side." Fox said smiling a bit.

"No no no no no no no no, don't think Falco and Wolf are on the bad side, they're just..."

"...Irritating sometimes?"

Chris closed his eyes and nodded. "Yes..."

"It's typical that you will have companions that will irritate you sometimes, but you'll get over it and get used to it in no time, trust me, I've experienced that before many times."

"See? You're a real person to talk with besides Marth or Lucario. It's really nice of you."

"Good, now, can I ask you something?"

"Whatever, ask away."

"CAN YOU PLEASE REMOVE DIDDY FROM YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT?!" Fox asked very irritated staring at Diddy above Chris's head, the monkey was there even when the conversation started.

Chris looked up to Diddy and both laughed. "Hey, Diddy's a good friend when you meet him, right Diddy?"

"Uh-huh!" Diddy said nodding.

"Too bad, he irritates me, now go to your court area!" Fox demanded.

"What was that about people irritating us?" Chris asked.

"There are 2 different kinds of people, the ones who are with us, and the ones who ARE NOT with us, and Diddy happens to be the latter!"

"Aw, sorry Diddy, but Fox doesn't want you around him." Chris said patting Diddy's back.

"Can I do something before I go?" Diddy asked trying to hop sometimes.

"Sure."

"Alright!" Diddy used Monkey Flip...on Fox's face.

"GET OFF ME YOU STUPID LITTLE MONKEY!" Fox yelled angrily trying to get Diddy off his face.

"Looks like Diddy is monkey-rapping Fox." Squirtle said over the platform.

"SQUIRTLE!" Red, Ivysaur and Mallow yelled annoyed.

Chris noticed a Lakitu filming the whole thing and he aimed his Blaster at him. "Keep recording and you die!" Chris threatened and the Lakitu flew away scared and the World Traveler went to help Fox. "DK! WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU?!"

"DIDDY!" DK, ironically, appeared from the cranes, jumped and landed right besides the four and looked down. "Stop Diddy! You're making bad publicity you know!"

"Got it!" Diddy said getting off from Fox's face and jumped towards his side of the court with Birdo waiting for him.

"That was...interesting..." Birdo remarked sweatdropping.

"Are you okay?" Chris asked.

"No, as a matter of fact, I'm not, this day turned out for the worst to me." Fox said, irritation filling his voice.

"Aw, don't worry, I know everything will get better."

"Hey, Fox!" Diddy called over his area.

Fox grunted and turned to him. "Wha-"

HIT!

"..." Fox turned his face to Chris and the World Traveler chuckled uncontrollably...

...Because Diddy threw a ball inside Fox's jaw, blocking his mouth.

"...Don't...say...anything..." Fox's voice was heard behind the ball before he spat it out.

"And without further ado, the games begin!" Toadsworth announced.

Delfino Plaza

We see all of Bowser's team (minus Wario, Petey and Waluigi) hiding behind some buildings, arguing with each other. "What do you mean we can't sabbotage the kid's game?!" Bowser asked to a plant pot where Lava Piranha Plant appeared trembling with fear.

"B-because they're above a platform? Which is above the water? Which is bad for me because once water touches me I'm dead?" Lava Piranha Plant (who we are going to call LPP for short) pointed out trembling.

"GRR! YOU USELESS PIECE OF FLOWER!!!" Bowser roared out loud and LPP hid, or escaped.

"We can only sabbotage Mario's game so..." Paratroopa said.

"No chance in hell I'm going to help out Mario!!!"

"Whoa, easy there, I know Mario is your rival but sheesh!" Charizard said rolling his eyes.

"..." Bowser rolled his eyes, grabbed some water from the ocean and dripped it above Charizard's tail.

"MY FLAME! MY CUTE LITTLE FLAME!!!"

"So! I guess everyone does have an embarrassin' thing!" Dedede said laughing.

"Focus you 3!" Boo said.

"Right, right, focus, we need to do something about this!" Bowser Jr. said.

"We have to make Yoshi's team to lose, meaning that we have to help Mario to win this...there's no other way out of this one Bowser..." Koopatroopa said unsure.

"Grr...fine! Fine! We'll help Mario out!" Bowser said grunting angrily.

"Can't believe this Papa!" Jr. said.

"Sometimes Jr., you have help out your enemy to defeat your enemy." Bowser said frowning and teaching how to live to his son. "Hey, where's Charizard?"

"FIRE! FIRE! I NEED FIRE FOR MY TAIL!!!" Charizard was seen screaming and running around, holding his tail and shooting fire to prevent the tail's flame from vanishing. "Phew, that was close..."

"...Hey!" Dedede got angry. "Hace you placed the Subspace Bombs yet?!"

"...Er...we have a problem with that actually..." Charizard said scratching his head.

"What dah ya mean?!"

"We...kinda used all the Subspace Bombs on the jungle so..."

Dedede slapped his forehead. "...You've gotta be kiddin' me..."

"...Afraid so..."

"...Great, just great, Tabuu's really gonna get mad at us for this one..."

"...But!" Charizard snapped his claws. "We still can do 3 things at the same time!"

"I'm hearing."

"We can 1) stop Yoshi's team from winning, 2) kill the selected members of the kid's group and finally, 3), kill or take the kid to Tabuu!"

"...That...is the most BRILLIANT idea to save our butts dragon!"

"Heh, I'm evil man," Charizard said smirking. "But leave Red and his puny Pokémon to me."

"Got it."

"Alright!" Bowser smacked his fists together. "Let's get a move on!"

Bowser's team walked away from the scene...not aware of Lucario who overheard the whole conversation.

"If they want to kill my master, they will have to get through me first...and the others, I must tell the others too." Lucario said narrowing his eyes before jumping away towards Ricco Harbor.

While the conversation was in progress, the event already started.

"30-0!" Lakitu said raising a flag to Mario and Luigi.

"Oh, I have an item under my invicible sleeve..." Jigglypuff thought grinning.

"You think so, pinky?"

"Ha!" Kirby served first and Jigglypuff took out a Lightning.

"Now!" Jigglypuff said. "What the?!"

In a quick movement, both Kirby and Jigglypuff were shrunk instead of Mario and Luigi, who looked confused at this. "What happened?" Kirby asked as he quickly flew above to hit the ball.

"I-I don't know! The Lightning malfunctioned?!" Jigglypuff responded confused.

"W-what's going on Mario?" Luigi asked.

"Lightnings aren't supposed to malfunction, this must be a mistake!" Mario said.

"Er, I can't tell if there was an error but the game needs to continue." Lakitu said scratching his head.

"No fair!" Jigglypuff replied pouting, missing the ball.

"40-0!"

Both puffballs returned back to normal. "Oh no, we have to win this!"

Previously, we see the cause of the malfunction, it seems LPP used his vines to quickly grab Kirby and Jigglypuff by their feet, then he quickly put them above Mario and Luigi before the thunders could fell on them, shrunk, then were put back before they could notice.

"Luigi! Watch out!" Mario said when Luigi was about to trip by the mud a Piranha Plant shot at the floor.

"NOOOOOO!!!" Luigi screamed as he was about to fall.

"No kiddo."

"Huh?" Luigi noticed that he was standing perfectly fine and returned back the ball to Kirby. "W-what happened?"

"Something weird is going on around here..." Kirby wondered.

Ricco Harbor

"What?!" Red asked shocked and Lucario nodded.

"Their new plan is to kill us." Lucario repeated.

"I'm too young to die!" Squirtle said panicking.

"Pfft, we can't be killed." Ivysaur said rolling his eyes.

"Not only that, they want to take Chris away from us." Lucario said with fury filling his voice.

"I guess we should be careful then." Mallow said.

"(Hmm...)" DK overheard their conversation and began to think.

"Wait a minute, where is Yoshi?" Squirtle asked.

"Weird, I haven't seen him in Delfino Plaza." Lucario said.

"Maybe you should look for him?" Mallow suggested.

"But..." Lucario looked down at Chris, who was returning the ball but tripped by a Banana Peel. "I...want to take care of Chris, I don't want anything bad to happen to him."

"You're the only one here who can run fast and jump very high, you can also use your aura to detect people far away!" Red said.

"...Fine, but keep an eye on Chris...or else." Lucario said, the last part with his eyes glowing yellow before he jumped away.

Mallow gulped. "I-I wonder what he meant by the or else part..."

"I guess 5 new spots in the Cemetery." Ivysaur said shuddering.

"1 game point for Diddy and Birdo! 1-0!" Lakitu announced.

"Diddy! Can you keep yourself from aiming at Fox's mouth? This is the 6th time already!" Chris yelled as Fox spat out another ball, since Diddy has been aiming at that part the whole game.

"Diddy, I think you should listen to him for once..." Birdo trailed off.

Diddy looker at her? and laughed heartily. "But I love to do this!"

"But not for him! I can see his creepy glare at you!" Birdo pointed at Fox's glaring face towards Diddy.

"Aw, that's because we're friends, right Fox?"

"NO!" Fox yelled angrily, stomping his right foot on the metal platform.

"(I guess it would be better to tell him much later that I asked Master Hand to let Diddy join the tournament...)" DK thought closing his eyes and smiling with a worried look.

"YOU! GET ON WITH THIS GAME, THE SOONER WE END THIS, THE BETTER!" Fox suggested "friendly" to the Lakitu who nodded quickly.

"B-boss, you're even scaring m-" Chris received a nasty glare from Fox, he could even see the fire surrounding his leader. "N-nevermind, I'll listen!"

Pianta Village

Atop the biggest tree of the whole village, we find Yoshi looking down disappointed as he was sobbing a little. "W-why...I wanted to win this by myself so badly...and we're losing this competition..."

"Hey, how did that Yoshi end up there?" A Pianta asked looking up from the base of the tree.

"I dunno, but let's go to Ricco Harbor and see the tennis event! I hear the monkey it's humiliating a member of Yoshi's team!" A Noki said cheerfully as both ran towards the Warp Pipe to get transported to Delfino Plaza.

"This is unbeliavable..." Yoshi said burying his face (or at least 10 percent, since his nose is way too big) on his hands, before a breeze touched his face.

"Here you are."

Yoshi looked behind him and found Lucario standing there with crossed arms. "Leave me alone."

"No, listen to me, we have to return with the others." Lucario said uncrossing his arms.

"Why? To see them losing?"

"No," Lucario shook his head. "Bowser's team will try to kill us and we must stay together."

"...What?"

"What you heard."

Yoshi got angry and stood up. "D-don't play with me! I'm in a emotional state right now! Was that a lie just now?"

"No," Lucario repeated again. "It's the truth."

"H-how do you know it's the truth?" Yoshi questioned.

"Just trust in me, you can die if you're alone!" Lucario said irritated.

"O-okay! B-but don't get angry!"

"It's because I want to take care of Chris or else he will too!"

"F-fine! I'm following you!" Yoshi said walking to Lucario. "...Oh what the heck, let's jump." Yoshi jumped from the tree's leaf and descended slowly, Lucario fell faster but landed with a soft touch in the ground. "..." Yoshi sighed as he landed safely.

"There you are!"

"Grrr..." Lucario grunted after finding Charizard and Dedede blocking their way to the Warp Pipe.

"Oh, please, just leave us alone!" Yoshi said irritated.

"Nope, orders are orders, kill the Smashers, period!" Dedede said smirking and raising his hammer.

"Steel freak going down!" Charizard said gathering fire in his mouth.

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

"Huh?" The 4 looked to their right and found 20 Piantas with police uniforms smacking their police batons in unison.

"Hey! Who was going to start a fight here during the festival?!" The boss asked threatening them. Yoshi and Lucario quickly pointed at their opponents. "GET 'EM BOYS!"

"CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!" Charizard and Dedede yelled loudly as they ran away before all the Piantas rang their whistlers, raising their police batons in unison before leaping into the 2 and started to beat the crap out of them, ironically.

"...That was...good?" Yoshi asked confused.

"I think so, now move on." Lucario said calmly jumping inside the Warp Pipe with Yoshi.

Dedede tried to enter the Warp Pipe, but a police dragged him back and continued to beat him up.

Delfino Plaza

"So far each team has 2-2 game points!" Lakitu said as Kirby and Jigglypuff were shown panting heavily, even they had bruises.

"I...can't believe this..." Jigglypuff said panting, holding the ball on her left hand.

"We have been...attacked by our own items...and still nobody wants to believe us..." Kirby said panting heavily.

"K-Kirby, maybe you should give up now?" Luigi suggested confused.

"N-no way! Even if the items are somehow against us, we're still on this..."

"(This has to be Bowser's work...but how can I prove it?)" Mario thought.

"Serve!" Jigglypuff yelled hitting the ball with all her forces as the crowd cheered loudly. "I have a Starman! Yes!"

That was only the beginning of cruel results for Kirby's team from that moment, all the items they got were always backfired at them, there wasn't any exception, Mario kept trying to find out if Bowser was behind this while Luigi didn't seem to care (well, partly, he began to worry later), both puffballs were pushed to their limit but kept going on.

The Lakitu kept saying the scores. "15-30! 40-30! Deuce! 0-15! 30-40! 30-15! Deuce! 5-5!"

Music stops

"God, the competency is really getting hard." Geno said.

Ricco Harbor

"God, the competency is really getting hard." Mallow said, repeating Geno's words by accident.

"Well, that's for Kirby and Jigglypuff, things aren't looking too well for Chris and...well...the poor Fox we have there..." Ivysaur said sweatdropping and glanced to the score.

4-0

"All the points were given to Birdo and Diddy because Diddy has the bad habit to aim at Fox's mouth, resulting in a hit and a point for Diddy..." Red said sweatdropping.

"THANKS FOR REMINDING ME THAT!" Fox yelled angrily, mad off at this point. (And possibly to the max.).

"Diddy! Please! For once, just listen to me and stop doing that!" DK yelled down to Diddy, who wasn't paying any attention and was clapping his legs happily.

"THAT'S IT!" Chris walked over to Diddy and glared down at him. "Diddy, for once, stop doing that! This is supposed to be an event of sports, not the humiliate Fox event, that is scheduled in 2 weeks after the humiliate Link event!"

"HEY!" Fox yelled angrily.

"Uh-uh..." Diddy backed away a little.

"Please, stop-hitting-him-right-now! It's annoying all of us and the joke already got boring!" Chris said and Diddy's mouth began to tremble.

"He's right Diddy, I don't want to win this...like this..." Birdo said embarrassed.

"Listen to her!" Yoshi said appearing from the cranes and jumping besides Squirtle.

"Yoshi!"

"Hmph!"

"...Oh..." Birdo looked down.

"..." Diddy closed his eyes in shame.

"Look, I can even see the smoke going out from his ears and nose!" Chris pointed at Fox, who literally had smoke coming out from mentioned parts.

"...Sorry..."

"...What was that again?"

"...I-I'm so sorry..." Diddy said apologizing. "I-I kinda admired Fox in some way..."

Multitudes of "awwwwwww" were heard coming from the dome, making Fox to get even angrier than before.

"...I-I'm sorry...I won't do it again...I promise this time..." Diddy said with tears on his eyes.

"...What do you say Fox?" Chris asked glancing to Fox with a worried look.

"...Whatever! The sooner we end this, the better, I'm already annoyed by this point!" Fox said enraged.

"...Sorry Diddy, you screwed up your own opportunity..."

"...No...it's okay...go to your court area..." Diddy said sniffing.

Of course, this emotional moment caused many to glare at the vulpine and label him as "monkey hater."

Fox looked up to the platform where everyone was glaring at him. "Oh, c'mon! Now I'm the bad guy of the story? He started it all!"

"You did!" Many yelled from the dome.

"I didn't!" Fox argued back.

"...I think you should accept his apology..." Chris suggested worried.

"No...way...no!"

"Just look at him! He's about to break in tears!"

"...This is all a set-up by him, I know that!"

"Apologize to him, now."

"You don't order me around!"

"I'm 16 years old, 1 year older than you!"

Fox narrowed his eyes in a bored way. "...Chris...actually...I'm 30 years old..."

"...What?"

"I'm 30 years old."

"...But you look like a 15 years old anthro to me!"

"Well, I take that as a compliment, thanks."

"...(I can't believe my best friend is an adult...how embarrassing...then that means Falco...)" Chris shook his head. "So, are you going to apologiz-"

"No, period."

"But please, do it for Diddy! I bet he won't do it again!"

Fox looked to Diddy who had his face buried in his hands, the vulpine frowned and sighed to himself and walked towards him. "HE'S GOING TO KILL DIDDY!" A Noki yelled from the harbor.

"SHUT-UP!" Fox yelled back before looking down to Diddy. "...Diddy?"

"...Hm?" Diddy muttered while he was still looking down.

"Look, I'm sorry for being harsh, but you were just so annoying to me, and I had to put yo-"

"Actually, I kind of did that for yo-"

"Shut up Chris," Fox said closing his eyes. "Anyway, what I want to say is...forgive me..."

"...Huh?" Diddy looked up wiping out his tears.

"I'm sorry Diddy."

"...You're not angry with me anymore?"

"To be honest, I am," Diddy looked down in shame as Fox opened his eyes. "But I'll give you a second chance if you stop annoying me for once."

"...A-are you sure?"

"Yes."

"...Thanks Fox..."

"Good, now let's end this event and let the best win," Fox held out his hand to Diddy, but for his surprise, Diddy's mood changed to a happy one and handshaked his hand very fast. "O-Okay okay! I get it now, stop!"

"OK!" Diddy said walking back to his court area as Fox returned to his court area.

"Boss, that was really nice of you." Chris said.

"Okay, hear me out Chris, we're going to win this once and for all." Fox said smiling.

"Alright boss! We can still recover from our bad losing streak and win against Birdo and Diddy!"

"That's the spirit, now, let's play!"

20 minutes later...

6-0

"6-0! Birdo and Diddy win!" Lakitu announced as the crowd cheered loudly while Diddy and Birdo were celebrating between themselves.

However, let's say that Fox didn't take it so well...

"...Fox?" Chris looked at Fox, who was turning his hands into fists.

"...Chris...what was that of recovering again?" Fox asked cracking his fists.

"That we could recover?"

"We could...what does it says on section R-6, fourth paragraph of the manual?"

"If by any chance the leader and one of his companions are pitted into a sports event, the leader can do any kind of punishment to his or her ally if they lose, however, this can be decided by the leader himself or herself and can choose not to do it, that's what it says if I remember...wait..."

"You're getting it now..." Fox said smirking.

"..." Chris looked around, not good, they were on a platform above the water, much worse, Chris didn't know how to swim. "...B-boss! Wait!" Chris stopped Fox right before he could hit Chris's face.

"What is it." Fox asked in a serious tone, his fist about to hit Chris's face.

"I-if I remember, we can't fight during the festival!"

"...You're lucky..." Fox said crossing his arms, before Chris gave him a hug. "W-what are you doing now?"

"I'm just happy for participating together with you! I really enjoyed this experience!" Chris said happily.

"Please, tell me this isn't a try to get me happy again."

"No is not! Really Fox, if I ever get the chance to be your partner again, I'm going to take it...if Lucario isn't around that is..." Chris hugged him tightlier. "Thank you so much boss!"

"(...Ah, whatever, if he's happy why shouldn't I?)" Fox asked with a smile inside his mind and gave Chris a quick hug and a pat in the back.

Everyone else jumped to the platform. "Chris, I need to tell you something, it's important." Lucario said.

"What is it?" chris asked confused.

[DededeCloneChris]

Delfino Plaza

5-5

"GO MARIO! GO LUIGI! BETTER YET, GO, LUIGI!" Daisy cheered throwing her pompoms above.

Luigi blushed at this. "D-Daisy! Stop it please!"

"This has been a really heated match folks! Both doubles are struggling to get the next spot in the finals! Kirby and Jigglypuff have been severly damaged by their own items while Mario and Luigi haven't even received a scratch! It's lady luck accepting a husband? Or 2 husbands in this case?" Lakitu asked.

"Dude! You shouldn't have say that!" Another Lakitu said appearing quickly.

"Wh-" The first Lakitu was attacked by a flaming pompom from Daisy. "Oww!"

Kirby and Jigglypuff were panting heavily as the Mario brothers were a little worried. "Kirby, stop! You're just hurting yourself!" Mario said worried.

"B-but...even if we have been attacked by 38 Red Shells, 50 Green Shells, 10 Lightnings, tripped by 89 Banana Peels and lose 20 Starmans...we can...go on..." Kirby said panting heavily.

"I'm worried about Kirby and Jigglypuff..." Peach said.

"It would be cheesy to say "they're going to be fine, trust me" in this situation, but all we can do is wait." Geno said.

"...That didn't reasure me at all..."

"It didn't have to." Geno said and Peach sweatdropped.

At that moment, the rest of the team in Ricco Harbor came in and sat on the benches. "So! I hear Diddy beat your butts but good!" Toadette said laughing, earning a nasty glare from Fox. "Er-eh...nevermind..."

"How is the game going?" Squirtle asked.

"Very bad, something odd has been happening to Kirby and Jigglypuff, all their items backfired at them!" Olimar said.

"But that isn't supposed to happen." Chris pointed out.

"But it does!"

"Why we just don't blame Bowser already?" Mallow suggested.

"We need actual proof to prove that, unfortunately, we don't have any." Ivysaur said shaking his head slowly.

"15-15!" Lakitu announced and they looked at the court.

"Hey, I have a better idea!" Mario said snapping his fingers.

"What idea?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Why we just evade using the items to make it fair?"

"Wow!" Lakitu said astonished.

"You took your sweet time to think and say it at this moment of the game?!" Jigglypuff asked annoyed.

Chris looked to Lucario who was glowing with his eyes closed. "Lucario, what are you doing?"

"The vines..." Lucario trailed off.

"The vines?"

Lucario stopped glowing and looked at Chris. "The vines that I saw in the jungle, those vines are also here."

"But what do the vines have to do with this?"

"They have been moving around, even I suspect that they're following us wherever we go."

"Do they have some kind of relation with the event?"

Lucario shook his head. "I...don't know, they move very fast and I can't track down their patterns or movements."

"JIGGLYPUFF! BE CAREFUL!" Red yelled as Jigglypuff's Red Shell bacfired at her.

"Oh, no, PUF!" Jigglypuff used Pound of the Red Shell to push it away and used a Smash hit on the ball, both Mario brothers couldn't reach it in time and failed.

"0-15!" Lakitu announced.

"Did you see that?" Mallow asked.

"Well, the shell DID backfired..." Ivysaur said. "...Wait...I can feel something..." Ivysaur laid down on the floor and closed his eyes.

"You're sleepy, that's it." Red said.

"No, it's not that," Ivysaur said focusing. "Something below is moving quickly without even making the slightliest sound."

"How do you know?" Squirtle asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm a Grass type Pokémon, duh." Ivysaur said rolling his eyes before focusing again.

Cipher Admin Theme

Behind some buildings, Bowser and the rest of his team (without previous mentioned characters) were chuckling evily (but Koopatroopa and Paratroopa weren't used to that that they coughed).

"Dedede, you have the bait?" Charizard asked and Dedede pulled out lots of food.

"I do." Dedede said chuckling evily.

Toadsworth came walking from the plaza and Chris looked at him. "Hey, can you tell me what it's the next mini-game about, I hear somewhere there are going to be items there but what about the mini-game for the finalists?"

"The finalists will use items to win the last round...on Balloon Panic!" Toadsworth said.

"I HATE that game!" Chris said angrily.

"Balloon Panic?" Mallow asked.

"It's an infernal game where you have to prevent some balloons from popping out from Klaptraps that climb into vines, you must change the direction to areas without globes to stop them from exploding!" Chris noticed that a Lakitu broadcasted his rant.

"Well! I don't think I need to explain the game anymore, well done boy!" Toadsworth said chuckling. "But if Mario and Luigi win...the finals are going to be canceled..."

Petey looked back at the building and nodded to Bowser, the piranha changed seats to block their view to the right as a box appeared besides Petey.

"30-40!" Lakitu announced.

"Yes! We can win this Kirby!" Jigglypuff said happily.

"...Huh?" Kirby put his hand near his mouth and glanced over the box, suddenly, the box opened and it revealed lots and lots of food, fortunately, Kirby ignored it.

...

...Who am I kidding?

"Ooooooooooohhhh..." Kirby's mouth drooled and he silently walked towards the box without making any noise.

Odd thing nobody noticed him at all, Peach and Daisy were giving Mario and Luigi bottles of water to fresh them, the Smashers were discussing what to do about Bowser and the rest were not paying attention and looked around.

However, when Kirby was about to reach the box, it got pulled farther, Kirby got confused but kept walking to it. "Almost..." Kirby said drooling as he disappeared from sight.

"Well, let's end this!" Luigi said excited.

"Be careful, they managed to get through all the items and this is a no items battle." Mario reminded his brother. "...Where's Kirby?"

"Kirby?!" Yoshi looked around in shock.

"H-he was here just a second ago!" Jigglypuff said shocked.

Music stops

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"What was that?!" Toad asked terrified.

"...Kirby! No!" Jigglypuff gasped and ran away from the court.

"W-wait!" Chris yelled chasing her.

"D-don't forget me!" Yoshi said preocupied.

"Should we follow them?" Mallow asked.

"No, they got everything under contro-" Geno was about to finish but...

"GUYS! COME OVER HERE! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" Chris's voice was heard and Lucario quickly used Extremespeed to appear besides him.

1 minute later...

Tales of Symphonia 2 - The Grudge

"...W-what the..." Fox muttered under his breath with a shocked face.

The entire group found several holes around the plaza but Kirby was nowhere to be found, everyone looked into the holes but they were dark and bottomless.

"K-Kirby?" Red studdered in fear and looked through one hole.

"...The vines..." Ivysaur and Lucario said at the same time.

"D-don't tell me the vines did this to Kirby..." Geno trailed off.

"Mario...I'm scared....what's happening?" Peach asked.

"Peach...it's possible that Bowser..." Mario couldn't find the words to explain Peach about Bowser that he shook his head disappointed.

"Bowser what?"

"...Nothing..."

"Oh! What seems to be the problem her-OH MY MUSHROOM!" Toadsworth gasped and jumped surprised after seeing the smal destroyed area. "W-what happened to young Kirby?"

"He disappeared through one of these holes!" Yoshi said pointing at the holes.

"B-but that means...LAKITUS! DON'T COME OVER HERE! STOP BROADCASTING!" Toadsworth yelled warning the Lakitus from recording the event and they turned off the cameras.

"...I'm going in!" Chris said about to jump inside a hole but Lucario stopped him by grabbing his right hand with only one hand. "L-let me go Lucario!"

"No, it's dangerous in there, there's a long way to the underground where the vines are, you're only going to get yourself hurt because the vines have sharp thorns all over them." Lucario said putting down Chris to the floor.

"He isn't lying, I know that very well." Ivysaur said nodding.

"S-so, anybody knows where Kirby is?" Toadsworth asked.

"...No we don't..." Yoshi said worried about the outcome.

"Then...the Peach Fencers...win this event by forfeiting the match against Mario and Luigi..."

Kirby has left your party

Nobody knew what really happened to Kirby, the event that just took place behind our backs was really unexpected to me, everyone decided to try and avoid this conflict and evade possible turmoil and panic to the spectators back at the dome, even my Pikmins were trembling with fear (though one of them said it was because of Petey) but Petey's good.

Anyway, where I was? ...Oh, right.

It was the time to disqualify people, as far as I know, Peach disqualified Diddy, maybe because of what he has been doing to Fox (poor guy actually) and she also disqualified Toad (who cried before Toadetted slapped him, ouch), Bowser came laughing evily and disqualified Koopatroopa and Paratroopa, both were relieved in some way, finally, Yoshi had to disqualify Lucario (for showing clumsyness in the first mini-game) and Kirby by obvious reasons.

The spectators were confused at this event, but Toadsworth managed to explain everything in a way that nothing chaotic would rise from all the commotion that just happened.

Now the only ones left are Yoshi, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Jigglypuff, Fox, Chris and Mallow...

Music stops

Peach Courtyard

"Baseball! Baseball! Baseball!" Red said excited.

"I don't want to run..." Jigglypuff said worried.

"Welcome to the baseball event everybody!" Toadsworth said cheerfully as the crowd gathered in the courtyard cheered loudly.

"It's rather cruel to leave things like that." Olimar said to Geno and Lucario, who were seating together with the crowd.

"Don't worry, we're going to look for Kirby once this event starts, Bowser is now evil to me..." Geno trailed off.

"Fortunately, we have things under control!" Twink said.

"...Twink, where were you?"

"I...was looking around for more ice cream..." Twink said sticking out hin tongue.

"Guys! You know what to do right?" Chris yelled from his team's bench.

"Yes, we'll search." Lucario said nodding.

Back with Yoshi's team's bench, Yoshi was looking down depressed. "...We're going to lose now...we haven't won a game yet and if we lose now..." Yoshi muttered.

"N-no we won't!" Mallow said jumping from his pants. "We WILL win this event!"

"B-but with Bowser's trap around, it's likely that..."

"We can be careful about that, we have a secret weapon..." Squirtle looked to Ivysaur and winked at him, the Grass Pokémon winked back.

"We're not going to fall so low like them by doing the same, right?" Yoshi asked raising his invisible eyebrow.

"Nope, Ivysaur will tell us where are those vines going to appear while he searches through the soil for Kirby." Red said.

"Wow, I think things are going to work out very well this time around, we're prepared for the worst now!" Chris said excited.

"Well! I can't run fast but I can fly faster than my feet!" Jigglypuff said pouting a little.

"Running is for me." Fox said nodding.

"And this game is as good as ours!" Mallow said making a fist in the air, he looked to everybody who gasped before raising their fists in the air (vine in Ivysaur's case), however, Yoshi looked down and Chris looked at him.

"Yoshi?" Chris asked worried.

"Well...I'm counting on you all...I hope we win this for once ...This is...stupid...and...madness..." Yoshi said disappointed.

"...Madness?" Red's right eye twitched (you should know what it's going to come by now). "THIS...IS...S-"

Preview of the next chapter

"You're SOOOOOO going down furry!" LPP said laughing evily as he rose up quickly below the running Fox who was about to reach the fourth base...

CRACK!!!

...

"This...is...just amazing..." Chris said sniffing after looking at the track.

"Welcome to Mushroom Gorge!" Toadsworth said cheerfully.

...

"Shopping malls, electric stairs, crazy shoppers and cars can be found here!" Toadsworth said excited.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!" Chris cheered loudly.

...

"I don't like this at AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!"

"HOLD ON!"

...

"What? What do you mean there's a sudden change of new tracks at last minute?" Toadsworth asked confused.

"Y-yeah, w-we're going to this hot place..." Toad said pointing down at the map.

...

"Next time: Baseball and Kart Racing, it's getting away and race around!" Squirtle said.

Chapter 89: Baseball and Kart Racing, it's getting away and race around!

Peach Garden

Mario Superstar Baseball - Main Theme

"-PARTA!" Red finished panting heavily and they looked at him.

"...Parta?" Ivysaur repeated confused.

"N-no! I-I said Sp-"

"Look Red, I know you liked that line I told you before, but please, not here! Or do you want to be Popo?" Chris asked.

"Once again, welcome everyone to Peach Garden!" Toadsworth said cheerfully. "In the baseball event, the 3 teams are going to participate in the same match!"

"The events just keep getting weird." Twink said, he looked around and the previous 3 disqualified characters were already gone. "H-hey! Wait for me Geno!"

"We have the Peach Fencers, Daisy, Toadette, Mario, Birdo, Luigi and Peach herself!" Toadsworth announced lifting one hand to mentioned team which waved at all the audience from the center of the field as they walked to the center. "We also have the Yoshi Islanders, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Chris, Jigglypuff, Fox, Mallow and the captain, Yoshi!" Mentioned team waved at the audience as they ran to the center, oddly enough, the spectators cheered loudly to cheer up Yoshi. "And lastly, we have the Bowser Fangs!"

Bowser, Jr., Petey Piranha, King Dedede, Charizard and Boo came in running (some of them stomping), when they made it to the center, they all made peace signs with cheerful faces to the crowd...

...However, a quick silent filled the whole place and crickets began to chirp, but they stopped 3 seconds because they got bored as the crowd.

A random blue Pianta's cough was heard from the crowd as a dry plant ball crossed the garden out of nowhere from the eastern winds.

"..." Toadsworth shook his head and decided to ignore this useless wait that he himself considered. "A-anyway!" The crowd began to cheer loudly again, making Yoshi's team to chuckle a lot at Bowser's team. "The event for the baseball sport will have the 3 teams competting with each other!"

"How is this going to work out?" Toadette asked.

"Simple!" Toadsworth laughed. "This is how it's going to be played, one team will have the batter, which will someone from Peach's team, the pitcher, the 2 in the first and third base and the one in the right area of the outfield, which will be 3 from Yoshi's team, and finally, 2 on the second base and fourth base, and left area of the outfield will be the 3 for Bowser's team."

"I...think I need more details..." Red said.

"Okay, this is how then, the batter will try to score a run and try to evade the ball from landing in a base or if she or he can be touched, however, it's more complex than that, since the 3 teams merge in one match, the rules are as follow, if a team manages to score 3 outs, that team will receive a point depending of which player was the one who got the out, defensive players can gain 1 point for, well, defending, while the offensive team is able to score more runs if it keeps scoring points, be aware, each team will have an opportunity to participate in battering."

"Well, I think I can play with those rules..." Yoshi said thinking.

"Okay, captains, please decided the order of your teammates and positions, the first order will be batters and the pitchers will be the captains from the second team ahead of the first one."

Peach Fencers: Peach, Mario, Daisy, Luigi, Birdo and Toadette

Outfield (From left to right): Mario and Luigi

Bases: Peach, Daisy, Birdo, Toadette

Bowser Fangs: Bowser, Charizard, Petey Piranha, King Dedede, Bowser Jr. and Boo

Outfield: Bowser Jr. and Boo

Bases: Bowser, Charizard, Petey Piranha and King Dedede

Yoshi Islanders: Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Mallow, Chris, Red/Ivysaur/Squirtle and Fox

Outfield: Ivysaur and Fox

Bases: Yoshi, Mallow, Red, Squirtle, Chris and Jigglypuff

"Now the first order! From the Peach Fencers as the batter, Peach! From the Yoshi Islanders as the pitcher, first, third and right part of the outfield respectively, Yoshi, Mallow, Chris and Fox! And from the Bowser Fangs as the second and fourth bases, and the left part of the outfield, Charizard, King Dedede and Bowser Jr.!" Mentioned characters ran to their positions as the others ran to their benches and began to cheer.

"This is a little weird, but...I'm not planning to lose either!" Mallow said putting on his glove.

"This isn't going to be easy, but prepared for anything." Fox said.

"Traps..." Yoshi muttered.

"(Let's see who's going to win now, LPP is ready to take out all of you as he did with Kirby, which is now imprisoned somewhere in his vines.)" Bowser thought evily.

Dedede glanced to the crowd and didn't find the trio, making him to grin. "(Ha, everything is going according to the plan, 3 mutts gone, 3 more out.)"

Mario Superstall Baseball - Peach Garden

"Now...BEGIN!" Lakitu announced putting on his mask and the announcing the beginning of the game.

"Huuuuuuuu..." Yoshi charged his ball. "HA!" And threw it to Peach who hit it with force. "No! Fox! It's going to you!"

"Got it." Fox said lifting his hand and running towards the ball's landing point.

No problems so far, he got it.

"Out! 1 out point for the Yoshi Islanders!" Lakitu said as Peach looked down in shame but returned back to her bench, giving the turn to Mario.

"(Now Mario, it's time for your to lose.)" Bowser thought evily as Yoshi threw the ball at Yoshi, but Mario hit it as it went across to Bowser Jr.

"Hahahaha! Now, pain for you!"

"First base is mine!" Mario said running to the first base but...

BITE!!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Mario cried mysteriously in pain and threw himself to the ground, grabbing his right foot.

"STOP THE GAME!" Lakitu yelled and everyone on the field (except Bowser's team) ran to Mario.

"Mario!" Peach ran towards Mario and looked down to him. "M-Mario! W-what happened?!"

"...Something bit his right leg!" Mallow said worried.

"...But I can't see any holes nearby, maybe his leg twisted?" Yoshi asked confused.

"I...can still play..." Mario said twitching a little pain.

"No you can't! That leg got severly injured, you need to rest, Luigi will take your place!" Daisy said.

Chris looked to Bowser and glared at him. "(...You're going too far...stop now before it's too late for you...I know you did this...I know that very well...)"

1 minute later...

The game resumed while Mario was being attended by Peach in the benches as Luigi walked to the fourth base, Yoshi and Bowser have 1 out point for each one.

"This is for...Mario..." Luigi said sniffing a little.

"Luigi, Mario isn't dead." Yoshi reminded him.

"Yet." Bowser said chuckling evily, receiving a glare from Yoshi.

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuha!" Yoshi threw the ball to Luigi.

"STRIKE!" Lakitu said returning the ball to Yoshi.

"Luigi! Focus on the game!" Daisy yelled from the benches.

"I-I can't! Mario is stil-" Luigi was interrupted.

"He'll be fine! But please, let's play the baseball gam-" Chris was also interrupted before the crowd stood up and...well...let's say they...began to sing the opening of the game.

"LET'S PLAY! THE BASEBALL GAME!" The crowd began to sing as all the players sweatdropped at this weird moment.

"...Did I say the secret words or something?"

"Er...it seems we skipped that part of the beginning of the game actually...heheheh..." Toadsworth said embarrassed.

"...Okay...as long as the song doesn't last too long..." Ivysaur said.

10 hours later, however...

"...WHY...THEY...CAN'T...JUST...SHUT UP?!" Bowser Jr. asked yelling, blocking his ears in pain.

"I WANT TO PLAY THE BASEBALL GAME ALREADY, ALRIGHT!" Red said annoyed blocking his ears.

"I THINK I MEMORIZED THE SONG AT THIS POINT!" Mallow yelled blocking his ears in pain.

We could also mention it was night already too.

"Hey! I know how to shut them up!" Toadette said snapping her fingers.

"ANY KIND OF IDEAS ARE GOOD TO HEAR!" Luigi yelled.

"Daisy! I hear somebody over the crowd, or the whole crowd, that you suck!"

"WHAT?!" Daisy asked yelling.

"I hear somebody over the crowd, or the whole crowd, that you suck!" Toadette repeated.

"WHAT?!"

"I hear somebody over the crowd, or the whole crowd, that you suck!"

"WHAT?!"

"I hear somebody over the crowd, or the whole crowd, that you suck!"

"WHAT?!"

"I hear somebody over the crowd, or the whole crowd, that you suck!"

"WHAT?!"

"I HEAR SOMEBODY OVER THE CROWD, OR THE WHOLE CROWD, THAT YOU SUCK!!!"

"OH, THEY DID NOT SAY THAT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Peach Dome
Hallway

"We've been searching around the dome and nothing so far." Geno said.

"And that annoying music coming from Peach Garden hasn't stopped yet." Olimar said.

"I wonder how is the team doing." Twink wondered.

There was a huge explosion in the garden and they glanced to it. "...I guess the song ended in some brutal way..." Lucario said.

"FEAR THE POWER OF DAISY!"

"Yikes!" Twink hid behind Geno.

"That is not important to me...unless she hurts Chris, then I will do something." Lucario said.

"...Anyway, back on the plan, 10 hours have passed and we haven't found Kirby yet, are you sure you lost the tracks of the vines?" Olimar asked and Lucario shook his head.

"I lost them, they went further down the earth and my aura can't reach that far."

"Kirby, we were just starting to be friends." Twink said sniffing.

"Twink, I'd like to point something out, you haven't spend time with Kirby at all." Geno pointed out.

"...Oops." Twink stuck out his tongue.

"...Silence..." Lucario said closing his eyes as he began to glow.

"What is it?" Geno asked.

"...The vines are starting to move..."

"...W-where?" Olimar asked.

"...They're moving to..."

"...Why it suddenly feels so hot all of a sudden?" Twink asked as they saw red rocks getting brighter and brighter from the opening of the vines.

Peach Garden

"...What the..." Ivysaur looked at the grass. "...The vines appeared quickly on the dome but disappeared very quickly...but if I'm not mistaking...that's the direction where Lucario, Geno, Olimar and Twink went to..."

"W-what do you mean?" Red asked.

"...I'm afraid they got captured..."

"N-no!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"LUIGI GOT INJURED! STOP THE GAME!" Lakitu yelled as the previous event repeated by itself.

3 minutes later...

It was break time and the 3 teams were re-doing their strategies, however, Yoshi's team was planning another thing while they were on a circle.

"Okay, this is getting dangerous now, Bowser will take us out one by one by doing something unexpected while we don't notice it." Squirtle said.

"But what can we do to evade his traps?" Mallow asked.

"Maybe we could...just jump all the way to the bases?" Chris suggested.

"That WILL humiliate us in front of the spectators though..." Red trailed off.

"It was a good idea still..."

"Then...should we just resist even more than Mario and Luigi?" Jigglypuff suggested.

"Wait, Yoshi's supposed to offer a good plan, any ideas Yoshi?" Mallow asked again to Yoshi who had his mind somewhere else.

"H-huh? O-oh right, a plan...I forgot about that..." Yoshi trailed off a little worried before clearing his throat. "Okay, I'm sick of getting worried about the event...alright! Everyone, listen up!"

1 minute later...

"As the batter, Daisy!" Toadsworth announced but many in the crowd shuddered in fear after Daisy waved at them cheerfully.

"Throooooooooow it, throw it, throw it throw it!" Daisy taunted Yoshi who grunted in irritation and threw the ball at Daisy, but she failed.

"STRIKE!" Lakitu said.

"C'mon! You can't throw it well!" Daisy kept taunting, ignoring Peach's voice that tried to calm her down.

"STRIKE!" Lakitu said after Daisy failed to hit the ball.

"I dare you to throw it at me!" Daisy taunted again, grinning this time.

"THAT'S IT!" Yoshi yelled angrily.

HIT!

The crowd, the players, and Toadsworth gasped when Yoshi ACTUALLY threw the ball at Daisy...literally on her face.

"HEY! THAT'S A FAULT!" Daisy yelled angrily to Lakitu.

"STRIKE! OUT! 1 OUT POINT FOR YOSHI'S TEAM!" Lakitu yelled as the crowd cheered loudly, but Daisy shot a nasty glare to them that they quickly stopped, sweating in fear as she returned to the bench.

...Wait, did she just flip off the whole audience just a second ago?... Maybe not...

"Papa, that princess scares me." Bowser Jr. said trembling with fear.

"Me too Junior...me too...why do you think I don't ever think about kidnapping her?" Bowser said nodding and asked.

"Bowser, did LPP captured the others?" Charizard asked walking to Bowser to the benches.

"Yep, they're gone, but not for good."

"Good, now we just need to take the rest out and we win this fight and the competency." Charizard said smirking as he returned to his base.

"The next batter, Birdo!" Toadsworth announced as Birdo was applauded and she? walked to her place where she got worried after seeing Yoshi.

"Y-Yoshi..." Birdo waved at him shyly.

"...Just play already..." Yoshi said frowning.

"(Yoshi...)"

"...Ew..." Chris muttered under his breath and Red walked to him.

"What was that "ew" for?" Red asked.

"You see..." Chris explained Red by whispering on his ear about Birdo's gender and Yoshi's clueless behavior.

"GROSS!" Red yelled, running to the benches.

Yoshi glanced to Ivysaur and both nodded. "Now!" Yoshi threw the ball at Birdo and she hit it with force that was getting away from the field, but Ivysaur's senses reacted.

"BIRDO! STEP TO THE RIGHT!" Ivysaur yelled to Birdo who got confused at first.

"LISTEN TO HIM!" Yoshi warned Birdo.

"O-Okay but I don't know why..." Birdo said wondering as she stepped to the right quickly.

In slow-motion, we previously see Birdo turning a little to the right where we see LPP raising quickly from the ground, failling to bite her leg and he quickly hid and left no trails of the hole he made, the piranha cursed under his breath and waited for Birdo to cross to the second base.

"Fox! Try to climb the wall!" Chris yelled to Fox who quickly turned to the wall at the ball's direction and used it as platform support by jumping to it and hit it with his feet, to jump towards the ball.

"I-I'm not going to make it!" Fox said struggling to reach the ball in time, unfortunately, an inch of difference between his glove and the ball made the round object to cross the wall, making a Home-Run.

"HOME-RUN!" Lakitu yelled excited as Birdo got happy and began to twirl around the field, successfully reaching the base as all the team looked down in shame, except for Yoshi who sighed in relief.

"(Thank goodness, I was able to save Birdo from getting hurt...)" Yoshi thought with a smile.

"Next batter, Toadette!" Toadsworth announced as Toadette waved at the crowd and prepared to hit the ball.

"(Luckily, she's small so she won't reach the ball.)" Yoshi thought as he threw the ball.

Bad idea actually, Toadette hit the ball and Yoshi cursed as the ball went away...and away...and away...

"SOMEBODY GET THE BALL!" Yoshi said shocked.

"The ball IS mine!" Charizard said flying towards the ball, extending his right hand to it as he smirked evily. (Though it was unnecessary, I mean, what the hell does he need to smirk for anyway?)

"I don't think so!"

"What the?!" Charizard saw a cloudy hand appearing quickly from below him and snatched the ball in time before it could get away from the garden, it was Mallow's right hand that stretched to catch the ball as the cloud showed the ball to the crowd as he smiled and chuckled heartily.

"OUT! 1 POINT FOR YOSHI'S TEAM, THEY GET A RUN, ENDING WITH A TIE TOGETHER WITH PEACH'S TEAM!" Lakitu announced cheerfully as the crowd cheered loudly, Toadette, however, stomped the floor before walking to her bench.

Next formation:

Batter: Bowser Fangs

Pitcher, first, third bases and right outfield: Peach, Daisy, Birdo and Toadette (due to Mario and Luigi's temporal immobility)

Second, fourth and left outfield: Red, Squirtle and Jigglypuff

"BEGIN!" Lakitu said putting his mask on again.

"MWHAHAHAHAHA!" Bowser laughed evily as he walked to his position with his iron bat.

"I'll try my best." Peach said.

"Who said something about doing your best Peach?! Throw the ball!"

"...Okay..." Peach said nodding as she gracefully threw her ball...which Bowser failed to hit.

"STRIKE!"

Bowser grunted angrily and Peach threw the ball again.

"STRIKE!"

Bowser was getting angrier as the ball was sent to him.

HIT!

Bowser grinned and began to run to first base as Red, from the second base, got the ball from the grass and began to run towards Bowser, who quickly turned his back and got safe in the first base. "Darn it!" Red cursed returning the ball to Peach.

It was Charizard's turn, smirking at Red and Squirtle who glared at him. "Alright, let's finish this already." Charizard said spewing out smoke.

"Ya!" Peach threw the ball at Charizard.

"STRIKE!"

However, Charizard didn't see that as a strike. "THAT WASN'T FAULT, IT WAS A BALL!"

"Nope! I'm graduated from the Baseball Academy sir and that was a strike!!!" Lakitu said excited.

"Whatever!" Charizard said before noticing the ball crossing him.

"STRIKE!"

"God! I wasn't prepared!" Charizard cursed before raising his bat as Peach threw the ball at him, he hit it and the Pokémon quickly flew around the diamond-shaped field.

"I got it! I got it! I got it!" Jigglypuff said flying towards the ball.

Ivysaur's eyes widened and looked quickly to Jigglypuff. "JIGGLYPUFF! FLY TO THE LEF-"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Jigglypuff was instantly pulled to the grass where she moaned in pain as the ball hit her stomach and rolled away.

"Mine!" Toadette said grabbing the ball and throwing it to Birdo.

However, the ball quickly changed directions to the north and Toadette gasped. "W-what the hell just happened?!" Daisy asked confused.

"I-I don't know, the ball turned directions all of a sudden!" Birdo said confused as Charizard passed her and landed in the fourth base.

"1 run for the Bowser's Fangs!" Lakitu yelled as the crowd boo'ed them, but Bowser roared at them in fury.

"Jigglypuff!" Chris ran to Jigglypuff and ducked to see her. "A-are you alright?"

"Y-yes..." Jigglypuff said standing up and shaking her head. "S-something got my foot and pulled me back to the ground!"

"It's your leg alright?"

"Y-yes, I think so..."

"What a relief...but please, be more careful."

"O-okay." Jigglypuff said as Chris returned to the benches.

"(...I wonder if Lucario and others found Kirby yet...)"

Music stops

?

Somewhere in the depths of the earth of the Mushroom Kingdom, we see the 3 captured Smashers, Geno and Twink inside a thick vine cage that was surrounded by even more vines with sharp thorns, luckily, the cage didn't had thorns inside.

"I-I'm scared, what are we going to do to get out?" Twink asked trembling together with Kirby who hugged him in fear.

"Lucario, can you break the vines?" Geno asked to Lucario who tried to use his brute force to tore open the vines, the Aura Pokémon let out a long grunt before panting heavily.

"I...can't...these vines are too strong to break...the only way to break these would be using fire." Lucario said dropping to one knee.

"Oh, boy, this isn't good..." Olimar said as he saw his 6 Pikmins trembling.

"...What is it?" Kirby asked.

"My Pikmins tell me something bad is going to happen, the vines around this place aren't too safe to be around...and they say the one controlling these vines will something very bad to everyone above..."

"Grrrrr, I can't let this thing to kill Chris." Lucario grunted in rage.

"Unfortunately, we'll have to wait here until something happens." Geno said looking down in shame.

"...The vines are moving!" Twink said as the cage suddenly began to tremble and moved to another location of the earth.

"...This isn't good..."

"I-I know..." Kirby said preocupied.

Peach Garden

Peach Garden

Back in the surface, we see the ball going away to the distance until it crossed the wall, earning another run for Petey's action as the piranha happily ran around the field. "Another run for the Bowser's Fangs!" Lakitu said.

"At least they didn't cheat this time." Yoshi said.

"Next up is King Dedede!"

Dedede walked towards his position, however, he was going to use his hammer instead. "Throw that thing to me, pinky princess!" Dedede taunted Peach.

"Wow," Peach gasped surprised. "H-how did you know I like the pink color?"

"...What?"

"I mean, nobody has ever told me that before, I thought it looked obvious but nobody told me that before."

Everyone there sweatdropped as Dedede coughed and raised his hammer, Peace gracefully threw her ball, which Dedede failed.

"STRIKE!"

"I-I wasn't prepared!" Dedede said.

"STRIKE!"

"S-seriously! This time is for rea-"

"STRIKE! OUT! 1 OUT POINT FOR THE PEACH FENCERS!" Lakitu announced happily as the crowd cheered loudly.

"Bah! Who needs this game anyway?!" Dedede asked angrily, leaving to his bench as Bowser Jr. walked to this position.

"Get maaad!" Bowser Jr. said putting on his mouth mask as Peach threw her ball at him. "HA!" Bowser Jr. hit the ball and it went soaring through the sky as he ran to the first base.

"It's mine! It's mine! It's mine! It's min-" Red was going to catch the ball but he mysteriously tripped quickly and the ball hit his head and it rolled away to Squirtle, then, Bowser Jr. was coming to the fourth base.

"You're mine!" Squirtle said holding out the ball in front of him.

"I don't think so, blue turtle soup!" Bowser Jr. said smirking evily as LPP was going to make Squirtle to lose touching his opponent.

"SQUIRTLE! JUMP!" Ivysaur yelled.

"W-what?!" Bowser Jr. asked astonished as Squirtle jumped from the ground and touched his face with the ball.

"OUT! 1 OUT FOR THE YOSHI ISLANDERS!"

"DARN IT! DARN IT! DARN IT! I HATE ALL OF YOU!" Bowser Jr. said angrily, hiding his sobs as he went to his bench and sat besides Bowser, who patted his back.

Dedede ran to Charizard. "Uh-oh, they are creatin' plans to evade our traps already."

"Hmph, fear not, this is only the beginning." Charizard said with a smirk.

"...I hate when people says that when it's already too long..." Dedede muttered as he returned to his bench.

"Last one on the field, Boo!" Lakitu said as Boo appeared in front of his face laughing, which made Lakitu to hide in his cloud before Boo took his position.

"Heheheeeh!" Boo laughed as Peach threw the ball.

HIT!

Boo quickly floated towards the first base as the ball got away to the north, it reached the grass and Toadette took the ball before Jigglypuff. "BIRDO!" Toadette yelled launching her ball at Birdo.

"RED! JUMP TO THE RIGHT AND EXTEND YOU RIGHT HAND!" Ivysaur yelled from the benches.

"R-right!" Red nodded jumping to the right and extending his left hand with his glove, the ball was going to reach Birdo, but it quickly took directions to the left, where Red catched it in time as he rolled in the ground and quickly ran after Boo. "S-Stay there!"

"Oh, no!" Boo said horrified as Red was getting closer to him, the Boo turned his back to the first base where he was close to reach. "(Hahaaaa! I'm going to be safe there, that stupid kid will never reach me in tim-)"

"Daisy!"

"WHAT?!" Boo saw the ball flying above his head as Daisy merely extended her right hand, right in front of Boo's face where the ball landed between them.

"OUT! 2 OUTS GATHERED FOR THE PEACH FENCERS, CHANGE PLAYERS!" Lakitu yelled declaring his statement as the crowd cheered loudly, Boo hid his face in his small hands and vanished from the field as the final leg took place.

Next formation:

Batter: Yoshi Islanders

Pitcher, first, third bases and right outfield: Bowser, Bowser Jr., Charizard and King Dedede

Second, fourth and left outfield: Peach, Daisy and Toadette

"Hmm..." Chris glanced to Mario and Luigi, who were on the benches with casts on their right legs. "...Maybe..."

"It's something wrong?" Ivysaur asked as Yoshi walked to his position.

"I think I can..." Chris trailed off.

"Now, Yoshi, on the bat!" Lakitu said putting his mask on again.

"BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bowser's laugh echoed as he pointed at Yoshi with an angry expression. "You! Greenie! Are going down!"

Yoshi grunted at this. "Grr."

"BEGIN!" Lakitu said as Bowser charged his ball and threw it at Yoshi.

HIT!

"DANG IT!" Bowser cursed as the ball passed above his head as it went towards the wall. "(Not quite my dear Yoshter...)"

"OUT! 1 OUT POINT FOR THE BOWSER FANGS!"

"W-what?!" Yoshi looked to Dedede, who was throwing the ball slightly above his hand as he smirked. "N-no!" Yoshi said looking down as he returned to the bench and sat down, giving Jigglypuff her turn.

"A vine sprouted out from the ground and gave the ball quickly to Dedede." Ivysaur said.

"Oh no, if we let this going like that again, they're going to win this..." Red said worried.

Chris saw Boo floating in front of him as he returned to his bench, then, a light-bulb appeared above Chris's head. "Do you have an idea or something?" Fox asked looking at the light-bulb.

Chris took out a hammer from his back and destroyed the light-bulb without even looking as he hid the hammer behind, making Fox to wonder where did he get that hammer. "Idea? Well...wait here..." Chris walked towards Boo before he could get near the bench.

"What do you want?" Boo asked.

"Well, I wanted to ask you a favor."

"Favor? Do I look like some kind of good ghost to you? Don't waste my time!" Boo turned his back.

"W-Wait!" Chris got out an old-music player with a disc on it. "I'll give you this in return if you help me!"

Boo turned to him and looked to the disc before gasping. "I-it's that the Sorb. Oiram disc?! W-where did you get that?!"

"A Toad gave it to me as a runner-up present, I think, you want to hear this music?" Chris played the record by spinning the handle, playing a familiar tune of the Mario Bros. Theme that Boo liked and began flailing his arms at the sound of the music. "So, do you want me to give it to you?"

"YES! GIMME!" Boo went towards the record but Chris put it behind his back.

"Not so fast you music-hungry ghost, first, the favor I wanted to ask you."

Boo rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll listen."

"IT'S GETTING AWAY!" Squirtle cheered as Jigglypuff flew to the first base while the ball got away from the field, making the trio of villains to smirk evily.

"(Alright, GO!)" Charizard ordered inside his mind and crossed his arms.

...But nothing seemed to happen and the ball crossed the wall.

"HOME-RUN!" Lakitu yelled as Jigglypuff got happy and began to dance her way to the fourth base.

"Yes!" Jigglypuff looked to the sky with a smile as the crowd went wild.

"W-what happened?!" Bowser asked astonished, suddenly, Boo appeared with his music playing, making Bowser to cover his ears. "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INFERNAL MUSIC?!"

"Sorry Bowser! I'm afraid I can't tell you that!" Boo said happily.

Previously, we see the ball about to be grabbed by a vine, but then at that moment, we see Boo touching the ball slightly for a moment to turn it invisible along with himself to evade the vine, then Boo disappeared and the ball got visible before crossing the wall.

"Good job Jigglypuff!" Chris said hugging Jigglypuff close to his face as both laughed heartily.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" Jigglypuff said happily.

Mallow walked to his position, waved at the crowd and raised his bat. "Coming, coming coming coming, coming!!!" Mallow tried to taunt Bowser.

[Triforce_Luigi]

Awesome. Good job with Halloween.

[The Seventh]

Yeah, that holloween special was awesome.

[makuta]

Wait, will Clause show up?

He is an alternate costume for Lucas.

Unless (Spoilers from the end of Mother 3).

[DededeCloneChris]

"(Wait, I have an idea to take the cloud out and reclaim an out.)" Bowser thought before talking to the ground and returning to see Mallow.

"Ivysaur, what did he do?" Red asked.

"Hmm, he talked to the ground again, but I can't perceive anything yet." Ivysaur said.

"BUAAH!" Bowser threw the ball to Mallow and the prince hit it and began to run to the first base.

"...Wait, a vine is going to sprout somewhere else..." Ivysaur said looking around.

"OUT!"

CHOMP!!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Mallow cried out grabbing his leg.

"STOP THE GAME!"

3 minutes later...

It was raining and Yoshi's team was gathered on the benches while Mallow cried as he had a cast on his right leg. "Okay, that does it! We need to find a way to end this nonsense with the traps!" Jigglypuff said pouting.

"M-Mallow, can you tell us how did you were hurt?" Chris asked preocupied.

"S-something bit my leg very hard..." Mallow said sobbing as the rain began to slow down.

"So Mario, Luigi and Mallow got bitten, that's why their legs were hurt." Fox said, getting in a thinking position.

"...If we just could figure out a way to reveal that trap..." Squirtle tried to think.

"Well, as far as we know, it bites anybody unexpectly." Ivysaur reminded them.

"I-I don't want to get bitten..." Yoshi said studdering.

"Bitten...bitten...maybe..." Chris thought.

"How bad, if we just had something so hard that it can't be penetrated or pierced so easily, we could capture the bitter." Red said.

"But where are we going to get something like that?" Fox asked before Chris looked at him.

Flashback

"Your boots," Chris pointed at Fox's boots. "I mean, they look like they haven't been scratched at all."

"Oh, my boots?" Fox knocked one of them and it made a metal sound. "These boots aren't ordinary, they were made with the best metal and iron from Corneria, not even Link's Master Sword can make a cut on them."

"Falco's boots are also made like yours, right?"

"Exactly, both of us talked to Slippy to made stronger boots for the next tournament, not even the strongest bite can pierce through them, the bluckles are the hardest part and the strongest part of my kicks."

End of flashback

"...Wait a minute...I remember something you told me before..." Chris trailed off looking at Fox's boots...

3 minutes later...

"W-what's this?! It seems Yoshi's changed his team formation, because the last member to take the bat, Fox, is coming to his position with bat ready!" Toadsworth said astonished as Fox put a serious face and raised his bat.

"Pfft, furries, who needs 'em." Bowser said frowning.

"(How amusing, boss is gonna show him...wait, since when I started to say "gonna"?)" Chris thought confused. "(...Must have been Sonic...)"

"So, the plan is to bite his leg to take him out, right?" Dedede whispered to Charizard, who nodded...smirking again.

"BUUUUUAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Bowser charged his shot with full force.

"STRIKE!"

"Grr." Fox grunted at this while Bowser chuckled.

"STRIKE!"

"(Please Fox, just hit the ball or our plan it's going to fail!)" Yoshi thought worried.

"BUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Bowser charged and much, more powerful shot that caught fire instantly.

HIT!

"RUN! RUN! RUN!" Red yelled loudly as Fox quickly dashed through the field, towards the first base.

"(Boo, do it now!)" Chris thought as Boo made the ball invisible while he was invisible himself to evade somebody from seeing him as the ball landed on the grass, far away from the catchers on the outfield.

"Amazing! Fox is displaying quite the speed on the court, he's going for the third base!" Toadsworth said surprised.

Bowser began to sweat and stomped the ground. "(PLANT! DO YOUR WORK NOW!)" Bowser thought angrily as Fox crossed the third base.

"You're SOOOOOO going down furry!" LPP said laughing evily as he rose up quickly below the running Fox who was about to reach the fourth base...

CRACK!!!

Music stops

"..." Fox stopped and looked down to his right leg, upon seeing the cause of the traps without moving from his spot, the Star Fox leader smiled.

"..." Everybody on the field stopped yelling or getting desperate and glanced to the cause, Bowser's team looked very shocked by the revelation that they began to whistle innocently.

"..." Yoshi's team had their mouths wide opened after seeing the cause, not moving at all while Fox's iron boot was between his fangs, which were conveniently on the hardest part of them, the buckles which Fox mentioned they were very hard to pierce through.

"..." LPP didn't move and froze upon making contact with his victim, using X-Ray vision, we see his fangs cracking up and shattered into dust, while long, red trails indicating pain ran across his body.

Sky

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Peach Garden

"OWW! OWW! OWW! OWW! MY FANGS! MY PRECIOUS FANGS! THEY'RE GONE FOR GOOD! OWW OWW OWW OWW!" LPP cried out in pain as he stopped bitting Fox's boot.

"IVYSAUR! USE VINE WHIP!" Red ordered running to LPP with Ivysaur.

"NOW!" Ivysaur yelled grabbing LPP by the neck using a quick attack of his Vine Whip and raised him so the crowd could see him.

"Everyone! This is the cause of Bowser's weird winning ways, this plant caused all the mysterious traps from the golf event and onwards! He's an accomplice of Bowser, Charizard and King Dedede!" Jigglypuff said pouting.

The crowd instantly glared at Bowser's team and they continued to whistle innocently.

"YOU THERE! SAY THE TRUTH!" Chris demanded to LPP who was trying to get off from Ivysaur's Vine Whip.

"Ugh...I...won't...say...anything..." LPP said panting heavily.

"...Oh well," Mallow gave Chris scissors and he opened them, putting them wide open on LPP's plant. "I guess you wouldn't mind losing a portion of your body then, I'm sorry, but this seems to be the only way to end this...or...you can always save your grassy ass by telling the truth..." Chris received surprised stares from his teammates. "...What? I wanted to say ass, this thing made Lucario to lose after all!"

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M CONFESSING!" LPP said crying loudly. "Charizard and Dedede brought me back to life using the Shadow Bugs and they took me to my old master Bowser to cheat in the whole event, also, we were planning to kill you, Smashers, in the process after you destroyed all the Subspace Bombs! But please, LET ME LIVE!" LPP cried out, begging.

"..." The crowd shot nasty glares to Bowser, even Toadsworth and Peach's team shot glares at him while Ivysaur slowly lowered LPP to the ground, but without releasing him as Yoshi's team gathered around him, cracking their fists.

"W-what are you gonna do to me?! I-I told the truth already, set me free!" LPP said sweating nervously.

"THIS, is for making Lucario to lose!" Chris said angrily.

"THIS, is for trying to make us to trip in the tennis event!" Jigglypuff said angrily.

"THIS, is for making me lose against Diddy!" Fox said angrily.

"THIS, is for ruining my painting that I tried so hard to paint!" Ivysaur said angrily, with Red and Squirtle standing at boh sides.

"THIS, is for making me to fail in the golf event!" Mallow said angrily.

"THIS, is for making my team to lose!" Yoshi said angrily.

"W-WAIT! I-I'LL BE GOOD! I'LL BE GOOD!" LPP pleaded. "Y-YOU CAN'T FIGHT IN THE FESTIVAL, REMEMBER?!"

"THIS, is for breaking my favorite lens of last model, I'll make the rule of "not fighting" off this time to teach you something, my boy!" Toadsworth said angrily as we zoom to his lens, that had labeled "semi-last model made from Gold Coins, cheaper than the last model, therefore, bad."

"...NO!"

The 7 Smashers and Mallow started to beat the crap out of LPP, releasing their inner fury with every single fist they landed on the plant, cursing a lot, punching a lot, kicking a lot, shooting a lot, pretty much every combination of attacks were directed to the plant, heck, even Petey who was watching the massacre to one of his brothers made him to shudder in fear and hid below a bench, which was way smaller than him.

After 20 minutes, they stopped panting heavily, staring angrily at a crushed, punched, stomped and badly hurten, LPP. "...I...will...take...my...revenge...on you...just...wait...ugh...." LPP trailed off fainting as he vanished with a poof of smoke.

"Crap, they all know the truth now, what are we gonna do?!" King Dedede asked panicking before Toadsworth coughed and glared at them.

"So! All the traps, the cheating, the breaking of my last model lens and the attacks on the players were caused by you all, dirty scoudrels?!" Toadsworth asked angrily.

"...Yes?" Charizard said dumbfounded.

"THE BOWSER FANGS ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM THIS EVENT!!!" Toadsworth yelled furiously as the crowd went completely wild and cheered after hearing those sweet, words for their ears while they threw trash to Bowser's team who ran away from the field, humiliated.

"I knew Bowser was behind this...oww..." Luigi rubbed his leg.

Toadsworth walked to Yoshi. "I must say sorry for you Yoshi, I should've notice Bowser's tricks from the beginning, unfortunately, he can still participate in the kart racing event since we can't take off points."

"...Wait, if you said they can participate in the kart racing event...then that means..." Mallow's eyes began to glittet with glee.

"Since the Peach Fencers have 1 run and the Yoshi Islanders have 3 runs, 1 extra since Fox managed to reach the base in time, and the only point left the Peach Fencers can gain with outs in their last turn, THE YOSHI ISLANDERS WIN THIS EVENT AND CAN PROCEED TO THE KART RACING EVENT, THE FINAL EVENT OF THE FESTIVAL!!!" Toadsworth said happily as confetti began to fall from the sky by the Lakitus, the crowd cheered and applauded loudly, Yoshi's eyes began to fill with tears of joy that he instantly hugged Chris while he wagged his tail happily, the whole team was laughing heartily at this moment.

Peach was very happy for Yoshi and her team applauded along with the audience, even Mario and Luigi cheered at this moment, we see the Yoshi's team high-fiving each other as the camera gets away from the Peach Garden and pans out...

Mushroom Hotel

"HURRAH!" Mallow cheered loudly together with Red, Ivysaur, Squirtle and Chris, raising their sodas to the air.

Since it was night, the next event was going to be held tomorrow, the teams were allowed to use the Mushroom Hotel, a high class place to let teams relax before the events continue, Yoshi's team was gathered there, they were all sitting in a circle in their big room as they celebrated for their victory.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! We can win this festival in the kart racing event!" Yoshi said happily.

"Everything went well after all, I'm so happy!" Jigglypuff said happily drinking her soda.

"Bless Fox's weird selection of boots!" Squirtle said touching Fox's left foot, which made Fox to sweatdrop.

"Stop it." Fox said with an angry expression.

"Anyway, Yoshi, I didn't see who you disqualified." Chris said looking to Yoshi.

"...I disqualified Red, Ivysaur, Squirtle and Fox." Yoshi said simply and mentioned characters looked at him with shocked faces.

"W-what?! Why?! I was the one who revealed the identity of that plant!" Fox argued.

"Sorry, it's just that...I haven't seen you riding a kart before, if there are motorcycles, then I'd have kept you."

"Great, thanks a lot." Fox said glaring at him.

"B-but why us?!" Red asked shocked.

"Apparently, Daisy convinced Toadsworth that 3 characters in one was cheating so he told me to disqualify you or else we couldn't move on." Yoshi explained as the door of their room suddenly opens, where Daisy appeared by sticking out her head.

"Ha-ha! Now everything is fair between u-us!" Daisy taunted them as she closed the door with a slam.

"...That crazy girl can't have her mouth closed for some good seconds..." Ivysaur muttered angrily.

"That means we made it to the finals!" Chris said to Jigglypuff and Mallow.

"Of course, I'm worried about you Chris, I haven't seen you riding a kart before." Yoshi said.

"Oh, that's no problem actually..." Chris changed to his Racer job. "Here, with this job on, I can drive like a normal racer."

"Wow, that was fast..." Yoshi trailed off as he shook his head later. "Whatever! Let's drink one last time to celebrate!"

"Alright! Twink, Geno, Lucario, Kirby, Olimar, drink up!" Jigglypuff said cheerfully as the team drank their drinks in unison...

...Before spitting it out between them, since they were in a circle as they coughed.

"OH, GOD!" Squirtle said shocked.

"I know! This soda has 0.1 percent proteins! You know how bad this is for my health?! I need even more proteins than this thing!" Jigglypuff complained.

"Jigglypuff, that's not the point! We forgot to ask the piranha about Kirby and the others!" Yoshi said angrily.

Chris hit his head with the can of soda. "I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'M AN IDIOT! We had the chance but we forgot it!"

"...Well...we can ask Bowser about them..." Mallow suggested.

"He's right, Bowser still knows where they are." Fox said.

"...Thanks goodness...I'm worried about them..." Jigglypuff said sighing. "...But seriously, 0.1 percent proteins?!"

"JIGGLYPUFF!" Everyone else said angrily.

Chris yawned. "...Well...I think we should rest for now, it's very late...but...on a side note, how am I going to give Lucario those steaks I promised to him if I can't even cook them?"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Fox yelled terrorized and hid behind Chris, trembling with fear.

"W-what is wrong with you?!"

"SHE IS HERE!"

"Who?"

"RAINE!" Fox pointed to a mysterious poster of Raine on the wall, everyone looked to it like it was normal.

"...Why is Fox scared about that woman?" Red asked, after some explanations... "...She tried to dissect you?"

"Come to think of it," Chris got up and walked to the poster. "How did this end up here?" Chris slightly touched the poster...

And a cloud of smoke appeared covering the World Traveler as they got up surprised, expecting an enemy who could attack them there. "S-show yourself!" Jigglypuff said a little scared.

When the cloud cleared out, however, Chris was there surprised, because of all the people in the universes, the most, lurkiest character appeared there, it was none other than the Wonder Chef, the same chef with the giant fork and red cape.

"I am Wonder Chef! The incredible chef of culinary skills!" The Wonder Chef with a smile.

"W-what the hell where you doing in here spying on us you creep?!" Squirtle demanded for an answer.

"Well, my dear turtle friend, someone of you all has a problem with food related, am I right?" The Wonder Chef asked.

"...I...want to know how to cook steak..." Chris said blushing.

"Oh? Is that so? It's easy! I shall let you know how to cook steak!"

Chris has learned how to cook Steak!

"Finished! Now, you have learned the Steak recipe!" The Wonder Chef said with a smile.

"...That was fast..." Mallow said.

"...Hey, wait a minute, how did you get in here in our room?!" Fox demanded for an answer but the chef put his right hand on his right ear.

"I hear cries of help by the Dark Chef! I must go now, please, enjoy preparing Steak!" The Wonder Chef said raising his giant fork in the air as he vanished in a poof of smoke.

"...Who was that weirdo?" Red asked confused.

"I myself want to know that too, I hav-wait, leave that theme for another day, let's sleep and forget this happened!" Chris said as he laid down on his bed, but everyone else were staring at him. "...I said sleep!" Chris clapped his hands and the lights turned off, leaving them looking at each other before going to sleep.

Mushroom Gorge

"This...is...just amazing..." Chris said sniffing after looking at the track.

"Welcome to Mushroom Gorge!" Toadsworth said cheerfully.

The next event was surprising, it was an event only about kart racing, with new uncoming tracks from the next Mario Kart, the teams had their teammates gathered there cheering loudly along with the crowd who were spreaded along the track, above the cliffs.

"In this magnificent, last event, teams will have to race to the finish line! The rules are very simple! If a teammate reaches the finish line before the others, that member and his team will receive a point! There are 4 tracks in total, so, do your best to win!" Toadsworth explained. "Oh! There's also another thing! We're promoting the racers to use motorcycles, if you can make stunts on the air, you will receive a small boost after landing successfully on the ground to get ahead of your opponents!"

"...MOTORCYCLES?!" Yoshi gasped after Fox shot a nasty glare to him from his position besides the finish line.

"Please, select if you want to choose a kart or a motorcycle!"

Everyone selected motorcycles, but Mallow was the only one who chose a kart.

"Speaking of which, what members did Peach and Bowser disqualify?"

"Oh," Peach walked to him giggling. "Bowser disqualified Boo and Petey and I disqualified Mario and Luigi."

"You WHAT?!"

"Heheheheh, the plumbers are out for good now, with their legs in a bad shape, they won't bother me for a good time!" Bowser said laughing evily.

"Hi Bowser." Mario and Luigi passed in front of him, walking to their area to cheer on Peach and Daisy.

"Oh, hi there idiots, now, where I was?" Bowser thought before he gasped. "What the?! How did those 2-"

"Surprise!" Chris said smiling. "I used my healing skills with the Fonic Hymn User job in the night and casted First Aid on them continuously...god, I used like 174 First Aids on their legs before they could feel them again...and same with Mallow here." Chris explained as Bowser shoved his face at him.

"YOU LITTLE RUNT! I WILL MAKE SURE TO KILL YOU SOME OF THESE DAYS!!!"

"...Just try it! Lucario will kill you first! And by the way, where is Kirby?!"

"Ha! I'll never tell you! No way!"

"And if I win the race?"

"...If I win, you'll get out of my way, but if you win, I'll tell you where they are!"

"Deal!" Both of them shook hands, but Bowser tried to crush Chris's hand.

"See ya...kid!"

"...I'm not a kid damit!" Chris said angrily as he panted heavily.

"Chris, calm down please." Mallow said behind him, already prepared in his kart.

"...It's just that I hate people telling me that I'm a kid..."

"Racers! To your positions!" Toadsworth announced over the mic as all the racers rode their motocycles. "On your marks!" Toadsworth raised his checkered flag. "Geeeeeeet set!" Everyone started the engines of their motorcycles and looked at each other before focusing on the track.

Mushroom Gorge

"GO!" Toadsworth yelled moving his flag as all the racers took a good start as they drove away while the crowd cheered loudly.

"Holy crap! Look at that motorcycle!" Yoshi said surprised as Mallow glanced to Charizard's motorcycle, which was big as him as the dragon smirked.

"I'm surprised that a Pokémon can drive actually!" Chris said accelerating as they all got items.

And from that point, crazyness started.

On the first place, Peach was getting the lead and they reached the first mushroom where they performed their stunts and landed with a small boost to accelerate. "Not so fast!" Bowser Jr. said using his Spiny Shell that went soaring the sky and crashed on Peach, dropping her to 7th place as she regained her speed.

Now Dedede was in the first place (driving a Wheelie from Kirby Air Ride), taking advantage of the next mushroom to jump in the sky, land on the green mushroom and then use the red mushroom to land with a small boost using a stunt, then everyone else followed him by behind.

"Oh no, you're not getting away!" Daisy said accelerating as she used a Red Shell, but Dedede took out a Banana Peel that he used as a shield, entering inside the crystal cave with mushrooms.

"Ha! No way princes-" Dedede was interrupted before Daisy threw her 2 remaining Red Shells at him, making Dedede to spin madly and lose his speed, falling to last place. "You're gonna regret that! Ya hear me?!" Dedede cursed as he recovered his speed.

Everyone reached the mushrooms that made a path across the abyss, in the first place, Chris accelerated and did some stunts in the air as he jumped through the mushrooms, apparently, the racer job gave him a chance to be a normal racer. "YUPPIEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Chris yelled happily as he went jumping from mushroom to mushroom.

"CHRIS! BE CAREFUL!" Jigglypuff yelled from the 4th place.

"WhaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Chris yelled loudly after he looked to another place and fell to the abyss, where a Lakitu brought him back, dropping him to the last place as everyone else crossed the mushrooms. "Oh, wait for me will you?!"

"Second lap!" Lakitu announced loudly as all the racers, then Chris, crossed the finish line by passing the curve.

"Wahoohoohooo!!!" Toadette was on 9th place but she got a Golden Mushroom which she used instantly and was sent rocketing to the first place, jumping to the mushroom where she accelerated using the mushroom until it disappeared.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" A Lightning crashed down on all the racers minus Bowser Jr., who laughed as he went ahead to the crystal cave.

"No way!" Mini Charizard said taking out a Mega Mushroom, which he used as he grew the double of his size with his motorcycle and began to accelerate, crushing Yoshi, Daisy, Birdo, Mallow, Chris and accidentaly, King Dedede who complained as he was flat. (Though Charizard thought Dedede had it coming for something). "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! SEE YOU, LOSERS!" Giant Charizard yelled as he jumped towards the path of mushrooms, doing stunts by throwing flames above him before he returned to his normal size once he was hallway through.

"WEHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Mallow cheered using a Bullet Bill, making him to cross the mushrooms and pass around the curve where he crashed into Charizard and got the first place.

"FINAL LAP!" Lakitu yelled.

Mushroom Gorge Final Lap

"Chris!" Squirtle jumped above the sign where they were and yelled to Chris stretching his right hand. "High-five!" The others who were there did the same thing as Chris turned to the right.

"Yes!" Chris did 4 high-fives with Squirtle, Red, Fox and Ivysaur as he sped forward.

"Hey, everybody! High-five with me!" Yoshi said coming in 5th place.

PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!

However, previous characters punched Yoshi in the right eye since they were mad at him for being disqualified, and Yoshi received a very black eye.

"OH NO!" Jigglypuff saw a Spiny Shell flying towards the first place, which was with Mallow, who was about to cross the gap between the bridge and the mushroom, the shell exploded into him and the prince fell down the clouds, as Charizard took the first place back, crossing the abyss and going to the second row of mushroom.

"Oh no you don't!" Daisy yelled throwing a Banana Peel, right on Charizard's face.

"I'M BLIND! I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Charizard lost control of his vehicle and drove accidentaly to the abyss, as Daisy took the first place and did stunts, accelerating inside the crystal cave.

"Fall back!" Mallow yelled coming right behind Daisy using a speed boost to gain the first place as they were about the final row of mushrooms.

"Ha!" Toadette used a Starman to gain a great amount of speed, passing the 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th place, but the effect ended when she was hallway the mushrooms. "Rats!"

"NO SO FAST!" Bowser came from behind using 3 Mushrooms, accelerating towards the end of the mushroom path where he pushed Mallow in the air and the cloud prince fell to the abyss before reaching safe ground.

"MALLOW!" Yoshi yelled jumping from the final mushroom as he was in 2nd place, but the dinosaur/dragon/whatever he is made a serious face and did a wheelie to gain velocity, though it was very little to catch up with Bowser.

"He's not going to make it!" Red said gasping as Bowser was a few feet away from the finish line.

"FINISH!" Lakitu declared once Bowser crossed the finish line. "THE BOWSER FANGS WIN THIS TRACK!"

"HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Bowser laughed evily, stopping with the breaks as everyone crossed the finish line.

"No! We lost!" Yoshi said shocked.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." Red said sweatdropping.

"Now, we move on to the next track!" Toadsworth announced.

Coconut Mall

"Shopping malls, electric stairs, crazy shoppers and cars can be found here!" Toadsworth said excited.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!" Chris cheered loudly.

The next track was the Coconut Mall, home of the shopping madness and also a convenient location for a race like the kart racing event.

However, something peculiar caught Chris's eyes as he looked around surprised.

"...Aren't all those people inside the mall and outside my Miis?" Chris asked confused glancing at all the Miis cheering loudly together with the Piantas, Nokis, Toads and other people.

"Hey, look at him, isn't he Chris?" Red asked pointing at Chris's Mii standing besides him, the Mii looked at him.

"( :-) )" The Mii said with his face.

"...Er...hello?"

"( ?:-( )"

"Can't you talk?"

"( ?:-( )"

"...Well...see you..." Red said looking back at the racers preparing for the race to begin.

"Attention all shoppers, 80 percent off on sales for orange skirts while the race is on!" A Toad said over the speaker.

"YEAH!" Daisy said making a fist in the air.

"FREE DISCOUNTS TO THE BEST SHOPPER!"

"OH, I KNOW WHO'S THAT GONNA BE!!!"

"Ahem! Daisy, please resist your shopping sprees for the race." Toadsworth said as Daisy crossed her arms and looked away.

"...So, you want us to do that strategy?" Mallow asked and Yoshi nodded.

"Yes, in the previous tournament of karts, whoever who could get behind a racer would gain a speed boost to take the lead." Yoshi explained.

"Oh! Then you want us to-" Chris was interrupted.

"Shh! Yes, exactly, now take your positions!" Yoshi whispered as they ran to their motorcycles (kart in Mallow's case).

"3! 2! 1!"

Coconut Mall

"GO!" Toadsworth waved his flag as the racers took a mini-turbo and sped inside the mall as the crowd cheered loudly (which was overused at this point already).

"Peach! Let's take the electric stairs of the right!" Toadette suggested, since those stairs were going up.

"Alright!" Daisy said taking mentioned stairs together with Peach's whole team, taking them up to gain advantage.

"They also devised some ideas to get ahead, we should take theirs too!" Jigglypuff said as they turned around the corner to the right.

"Stunts!" Bowser Jr., said as Bowser and him used the fountain as a ramp to make stunts in the air and gain a speed boost, they were inches away from Birdo who accidentaly gave both Bowsers a speed boost and passed her from behind.

"W-why aren't we climbing up this thing?!" Charizard asked.

"BECAUSE IT'S GOIN' DOWN!" Dedede pointed out since they took the wrong electric stairs who were going down.

"See ya!" Mallow said from the other stairs, getting away further inside the mall with Yoshi.

"DANG IT!"

All the other racers made it to the mall's garden area. "I wonder for what is this?" Toadette wondered taking out a POW Block that appeared on everybody's head except her team.

"Huh? For what is this bloc-UAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Yoshi lost control of his motorcycle wtih everybody, before he could use the flowers's borders as ramps to do stunts, he crossed over the flowers as he spun before getting control again, but Daisy appeared from behind and got the first place.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bowser Jr., threw a Green Shell to Yoshi, making Yoshi to roll on his place as he was dropped to 10th place.

"Y-you little!" Yoshi tried to curse but he regained his speed and chased after Bowser Jr.

Daisy was in the front, crossing the cafeteria to the highest ramp of the mall where her team accelerated to and did long stunts in the air, landing in the far away street to gain a mini-turbo, then Mallow, Jigglypuff and Chris came to the street also with a mini-turbo, then Bowser and his son came in with mini-turbos and accelerated.


However, Yoshi was being interrupted by Charizard and Dedede, who were pushing him constantly between them. "Heh! Take that greenie!" Dedede said pushing Yoshi to Charizard.

A small smirk appeared on Yoshi's face. "Oh, now you're going to regret that." Yoshi said as both passed him, but Yoshi pulled out a Mega Mushroom that made him to grow double his size.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Dedede and Charizard yelled loudly while the giant Yoshi flattened them under his big weight, Yoshi used the speed pads from the cars in the parking area to go even faster, he even pushed the cars away with his big height before returning to normal after he crossed the finish line.

"Second lap!" Lakitu announced.

Inside the mall, we see Birdo taking the lead before a Spiny Shell crashed into her by Jigglypuff, who passed her and stuck out her tongue to Birdo. "Ha-ha! You got a-ttac-ked!"

"JIGGLYPUFF! WATCH OUT!" Mallow yelled.

"Huh?" Jigglypuff turned her back to her direction, where she crashed inside a shop and many things were broken, ran over, people screaming, even Mallow lost sight of her and turned around the corner, hoping for Jigglypuff's safety.

On a side note, he was now in first place!

"OUTTA MY WAY!" Daisy came from behind using a Green Shell om Mallow, making him to stumble, rolling on his spot, giving Daisy the first place as she went to the electric stairs and passed them.

"You've gotta be kiddin' me! We're so far behind!" Dedede said as Charizard and him turned around to the right, while the rest of the racers already were in the garden.

"Huh? What's this?" Charizard took out a Blooper that flew away.

"Hey! Get out of my sight!" Toadette complained to the Blooper that appeared in front of her, but the Bloope pointed its tentacles at her and sprayed ink on her eyes, making her to lose control of her motorcycle as the rest tried to look.

"I can't see anything!" Chris complained, stopping as he cleaned his face with his hands, then he resumed the race and went to the cafeteria, noticing that Bowser Jr. was now in the first place.

"Uheheheee!" Bowser Jr. chuckled as he turned around the corner to the lowest part of the ramp.

"Hey, you! Take this! A gift!" Chris took out a Fake Item Box that he threw to Bowser Jr.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" Bowser Jr. rolled above his spot as Chris took the first place with him and did stunts after reaching the ramp. (He did the Superman).

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" Bowser roared from behind Chris who threw at him a Bom-omb, exploding on the World Traveler who jumped in the air by the explosion as Bowser accelerated using the boost pads in the parking lot, evading the cars there with the Miis.

"Final lap!" Lakitu declared.

Coconut Mall Lasp Lap

"Ha!" Peach used a Spiny Shell from the parking lot, it went soaring through the sky and crashed on Bowser who jumped in the air as Birdo took the lead of the race and used the stairs to get up quickly.

"Now! Let's use the strategy!" Yoshi said as he and his team entered inside the mall, the 4 racers lined up with Yoshi behind the line, Mallow, Jigglypuff and Yoshi got a speed boost that helped them reach even further inside as Chris was left behind waving at them.

"Go! Go! Go!" Mallow said to Jigglypuff and Yoshi who gained another speed boost, using the fountain as a ramp to make a long jump to the top of the stairs, Mallow saw 2 Red Shells coming from behind by Dedede and he sacrificed himself to protect Yoshi and Jigglypuff, who were now in the garden trying to catch up with Birdo.

"Y-Yoshi!" Birdo said surprised as she went towards the cafeteria, Yoshi accelerated using the speed boost from Jigglypuff combinating it with a wheelie, running besides her.

"Birdo, I hope you can understand how bad I felt back then!" Yoshi said with a serious face to Birdo as both ran to the highest ramp.

"I-I'm sorry Yoshi, I didn't want to make you mad at me, but you wer-"

"Actually, I should be the one saying sorry." Yoshi said ashamed as they ignored doing their stunts on the ramp.

"...R-really? You mean it?" Birdo asked blinking surprised.

"Yeah! I admit it, I was very harsh on you, it was my fault Birdo..." Yoshi closed his eyes before opening them again as they made it to the parking lot. "...I'm sorry...I wish you could forgive me..."

"...I do! I'm even saying sorry if I offended you!" Birdo said happily.

"...Thanks!" Yoshi said happily as they leaned closer to each other an-

Well, let's say the people around watching this part of the event refrained from saying "EWWWWWWWW!!!" since they knew Birdo's gender and not to make Yoshi feel bad.

"FINISH!" Lakitu declared.

"But who crossed the line first?" Ivysaur asked.

"The Yoshi Islanders win this track!"

"YES! YAY! HURRAY!" Chris, Mallow and Jigglypuff (who came fully dressed with jewels, clothes and even expensive boots that oddly fit her) cheered and stopped after crossing the finish line, running to Yoshi as the quartet jumped together with joy.

The rest of the racers crossed the finish line and stopped, however, Peach looked around. "Where is Daisy?"

"OUR BEST SHOPPER OF THE RACE IS DAISY!" The speakers said loudly as Daisy was seen on the screen holding lots and lots of bags, apparently, she couldn't resist it anymore and dropped out the race to buy a lot of things, and of course, receive free discounts.

"YAY! YAY! I WON! TAKE THAT!" Daisy said in victory as everybody groaned loudly at this. "WHY YOU LITTLE PIECES OF-"

Er, let's skip the scene of extreme violence and Luigi trying to stop Daisy's mad fury, shall we?

DK Summit

"Welcome now to DK Summit! Our next leg of the race!" Toadsworth said with a red coat while the audience cheered loudly.

It was a snowy paradise, there were gondolas reaching the summit with Shy Guys skiing down with their skis or snowboards.

Chris sneezed. "W-why this track needs to be on i-ice? I-I won't resist this climate at all during the r-r-r-race! Achoo!"

"Here, use this to protect you from getting a cold." Fox gave Chris his bandana.

"...B-but that is yours, how are you going to-"

"It doesn't matter, remember? I have fur over all my body, perfect protection to me, but don't lose it, okay? I don't want now to lose clothing after losing equipment."

"..." Chris quickly covered his throat and mouth with the bandana. "T-thanks Fox! I really appreciate this!"

"I'm glad you like it, good luck." Fox said smiling a bit as he returned to Red, Squirtle, and an apparently frozen up Ivysaur.

"IVYSAUR!" Red yelled worried after noticing his Pokémon in a big chunk of ice, then he and Squirtle started to hit the ice to save him.

"This is just unfair!" At that moment, DK and Diddy appeared from Squirtle's side (wearing red coats) "There's a track with my name on it and I'm not even in the race to test it out!"

"Even worse," Diddy began, putting on some binoculars from behind his back and looked to the top of the mountain. "There's a giant wooden Mario statue with a snowboard, why aren't you the wooden statue?"

"What?" DK snatched the binoculars and looked to the mountain. "Hey!"

"That doesn't even make any sense." Jigglypuff said.

"Hmm, I wonder why." Mario appeared besides Diddy rubbing his chin.

"You! Give back DK's pride!" Diddy pointed an acussing finger to Mario and leaped to him, starting a fight (without Toadsworth noticing it for Mario's dismay).

"Stop it you 2 and help us to get Ivysaur out from this!" Red yelled trying to save his frozen Pokémon.

"Racers! On your marks!" Toadsworth announced and Jigglypuff flew to her motorcycle. "Get set an-aw, whatever, GO!"

DK Summit

"Yes! We got ahead first!" Jigglypuff cheered as she got the first place with Mallow drivin behind her in second place.

Both turned right and gasped after they found a huge barrel pointing at the top of the summit. "W-wait, are we going to use that to get HIGH UP THERE?!" Mallow asked terrified as they entered inside the barrel and blasted off to the summit.

"I don't like this at AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!"

"HOLD ON!"

Everyone else followed the duo as they were blasted to the summit at high speed, where they landed and looked around.

"Everybody! Follow my path!" Yoshi yelled accelerating to the ramps of the left side, his team followed him by behind and did a group stunt as the crowd got impressed and cheered loudly.

"Marvelous! The Yoshi Islanders know how to amaze the folks!" Toadsworth said surprised repeating the stunt of the team on the screen.

"GO!" Bowser yelled using a Lightning to shrink everybody except his team, running over Yoshi, making the crowd to get angry at them as they got the first place. "SHUT UP!"

Bowser's team reached the multiple bumbs of snow, they smirked in unison and began to do stunts non-stop, gaining a lot of speed and crossed the field before the others could. "Papa! We're going to win this!" Bowser Jr. said happily.

"Jr., remember, this is how you win, like your big, evil, daddy!" Bowser said as they turned right and then left to reach the hall-pipe area.

".........yaaaaahoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Toadette appeared using a Golden Mushroom and passed the team at high speed, even she reached the finish line in time.

"What th-CATCH HER! WE CAN'T LET HER WIN!" Dedede ordered angrily and the quartet chased after Toadette.

"Second lap!" Lakitu announced.

"...By the way, can you all tell me about this "Subspace Army" thing?" DK asked to Red, who was almost done with the ice since he destroyed half of the chunk of ice as Ivysaur looked at him with a small smile (since he really hates ice).

"DK? You want to know about the Subspace Army?" Squirtle asked.

"Yes, I heard you talking about them on your "private" mettings and I got interested, even Diddy here got interested as well."

"We wanted to ask you if you could let us join your adventure!" Diddy said smiling excited.

"No no no no no no! I-it's alright, we don't need more help!" Fox said smiling worried as he sweated a lot behind his head.

"Why don't we ask Chris first?" Red suggested and Fox glared at him.

"Right, why we don't ask Chris first." Fox replied gritting his fangs as they saw Chris coming from the hall-pipe. "Chris! Do you want DK and Diddy to join us now?" Fox yelled shaking his head for a "no" as a reply.

"SURE!" Chris said as he passed them and went to the barrel to be blasted off to the summit, leaving Fox with his jaw dropped in shock.

NEWCOMER!

Donkey Kong joined your team!

NEWCOMER!

Diddy Kong joined you team!

"Alright!" Diddy did a backflip on his spot. "We're going to have lots of adventures together, defeat bad guys with style, do awesome victory poses and even get treasures on the way! Isn't that so cool Fox?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Yoshi looked back to hear the yell as he was being blasted off to the summit. "Was that Fox yelling just now?"

Jigglypuff shuggred. "Who knows..."

"I'm impressed he didn't cause an avalanche." Mallow said as the trio nodded in unison and made their way to the snow bumps.

We see Toadette still in the first place where she was crossing the hall-pipe, doing stunts to accelerate a little and to evade the Shy Guys. "Ha ha! Nobody can stop me now!"

But a Spiny Shell crashed on her and Charizard took the lead as he laughed. "Nobody except me, little weak girl."

"W-why you!" Toadette said angrily as she regained her speed.

"FINAL LAP!" Toadsworth announced after Charizard crossed the finish line with Toadette following him from behind.

DK Summit Final Lap

An epic race between the dragon and the Toad girl began as they went blasting off to the summit. "You! Get outta my way!" Charizard yelled to Toadette.

"No sir, you get out of my way!" Toadette argued as they landed on the summit and began their descend to the bottom.

"MINE!" Both yelled loudly taking items from the boxes on their way, both got Triple Banana Peels and began to launch each other to get ahead, unfortunately, none of them were able to aim well and they even crossed through the snow that slowed them down.

"I won't let a twerp like you to win!" Charizard said as every Toad in the seats gasped in unison and trembled with fear. "...Why something is going to happen that I will regret?"

Toadette was filling up with anger inside her as her face turned reddish and glared at Charizard. "YOU JUST DID NOT SAY THAT!!!" Toadette yelled loudly as her voice echoed through the mountain, the girl Toad began to accelerate madly and she literally blasted off to the gondolas's ropes which she used as gridding points to go down the mountain faster, making Charizard to sweatdrop with fear as he was crossing the bumps.

Toadette jumped off the ropes and made crazy stunts as she made her way directly towards the finish line.

"W-what is she doing now?!" Ivysaur (now recovered) asked in shock.

"She's doing a 360 degrees!" Diddy said amazed.

"540 degrees!" Squirtle said astonished.

"720 degrees!" DK said utterly surprised.

"900 degrees!" Red said really amazed.

[DededeCloneChris]

"...1800 degrees?!" Mario said shocked.

"What?!" Previous characters asked astonished, then, the crowd watched as Toadette descended towards the finish line.

A section of only Toads raised "10" signs of 10 x 10. "TOOOOADETTE! TOOOOADETTE! TOOOOADETTE!" The Toads yelled loudly flipping their signs, making Toadette's face.

"FINISH! THE PEACH FENCERS WIN THIS TRACK, ENDING IN A TIE WITH THE YOSHI ISLANDERS AND BOWSER FANGS!" Lakitu announced loudly, the crowd went wild (again) and...we see the other racers reaching the snow bumps by this time as Charizard made it to the finish line but walked away, cursing under his breath.

"...You got to remark, the races were pretty wacky..." Ivysaur said (wearing a long, purple scarf around his neck).

"But there's the last one, right?" Red asked.

"So, can you tell us more about this "Subspace Army" thing?" DK continued to ask.

"Well..." Squirtle trailed off.

After many explanations, the Smashers back at the mansion, the reason of why they were there, their mission to rescue the Star Spirits, and the racers finally reaching the finish line...

"Thank you Fox, your bandana helped me a lot." Chris said returning the bandana to Fox.

"And thank you for making Diddy to join us." Fox said.

"...Really?"

"Have you ever heard of sarcasm before?" Fox asked with a glare.

"...Er...yes?"

"Then you should know what do I want right now."

"...DK! Diddy!" Chris said turning to both Kongs, leaving Fox to mutter curses.

"Don't worry about explaining the details to us, we know all about the Subspace Band!" DK said.

"...You mean Subspace Army..."

Dk tilted his head. "Oh...is that the name? Weird, I thought it was Subspace Band...oh well, anyway! I'll be glad to lend you all a hand!"

"Me too!" Diddy said jumping on DK's back.

"Well, we need a lively duo like you around so I don't see why not." Chris said.

"Thanks!" DK took out his Bongoes. "Also, we need to make a tour in Nintendo City and play some new songs we learned about after our first performance!"

"...DK...Diddy...you should know what happened to Nintendo City..." Jigglypuff said looking down in shame.

"What happened?"

"Nintendo City is currently at risk of being destroyed by the Subspace Army for a giant sword named Exor." Mallow said looking down.

"...WHAT?!" DK asked shocked. "B-but that city is probably the most populated city of all the cities in the worlds! Diddy! You know how many people could have seen us doing our performances there?! Like the people of Mushroom Kingdom multiplied by 50!"

"W-what? Is Nintendo City THAT populated?" Diddy asked with curiosity.

"I'm not joking!"

"Er, hate to interrupt your moment of shocks, but we need to go to the next track." Yoshi said walking away with his motorcycle.

"Well!" Mallow began. "If we win the next track, that means we win the festival and get the trophy!"

"...But...huh?!" Ivysaur layed down on the ground. "...No...the vines..."

"The vines again? But didn't we kill the plant?" Squirtle asked.

"No...I can feel them moving again...but they're moving to the opposite direction of the track an-"

We now see Bowser, Charizard and Dedede chuckling evily (with Bowser Jr.). "LPP was revived once again?" Bowser asked.

"Yep, the Shadow Bugs managed to bring that plant back to life, which means we can still proceed accordin' with the plan." Dedede said grinning.

"Hold on, I hear from the plant that there's a hidden track where his powers could grow to the max." Charizard said.

"Hmm, the only thing that can increases LPP's power is lava or magma." Bowser wondered crossing his arms.

"Exactly."

"...Oh, this is ought to be good..." Bowser Jr. said rubbing his hands together with the villains, chuckling evily.

"So, how are we going to take everyone there? That track is in the opposite direction." Dedede asked.

"Don't worry about little details, I ordered the plant to change the tracks for our advantages." Charizard said as we see Toad running to Toadsworth, whispering something in his ear and gave him a map.

"What? What do you mean there's a sudden change of new tracks at last minute?" Toadsworth asked confused.

"Y-yeah, w-we're going to this hot place..." Toad said pointing down at the map.

"Hmm...this track wasn't supposed to be used but...are you sure this is official?"

Toad nodded. "Y-yeah, you said "go get the map at the desk back at Peach Dome, then bring it to me to see which was the last scheduled track," that's what you said to me."

"In that case then..." Toadsworth cleared his throat and got the mic closer to his mouth. "Everyone! It seems we have a change of courses at last minute, please, spectators, proceed to the Peach Dome, racers and teammates, please proceed down that path where you should find a teleport pad to take you to the next track!"

Many people groaned and began their walk to the Peach Dome as the rest of the racers got confused but continued their way towards another path.

"...I have a bad feeling about this..." Jigglypuff said studdering.

"Alert! Alert!" Chris took out his DS where Professor Kawashima was freaking out. "I sense high levels of Shadow Bugs being gathered on this path!"

"What? What do you mean?" Mallow asked.

"I can sense a dangerous beast deep in the earth's depths, not only that, it seems I can detect the others who disappeared during the event!"

"T-that means Kirby and Lucario with the others are there!" Chris said worried.

"We should be prepared." Fox said.

"Hey! Are you going to fight against something?" DK asked punching the air, boxing-style.

"Well, probably..." Jigglypuff trailed off.

"I could give you all a hand, I wanted to have a new fight against something new after pummeling those bosses in the jungle!"

"I will too!" Diddy said but DK shook his head. "W-why?"

"You wait at the dome Diddy, you don't have any weapons with you, once we tell Master Hand to give you your moveset, then you fight."

Fox chuckled at this. "I hate to say this," Fox said sarcastically, but DK didn't notice his sarcasm. "But Master Hand haven't told you yet if Diddy is a Smasher like us."

"(I hate to say this to you Fox but Diddy IS a Smasher...)" Chris thought in his mind sighing.

"...Aww..." Diddy said disappointed as he returned to the dome, looking down all the way with the spectators.

"...Alright! I'm prepared for the worst, bring it on!" DK said a little excited.

"(I hope DK is enough to help us out...) Yoshi?" Chris noticed Yoshi looking down worried.

"Huh?" Yoshi looked up.

"What are you doing?"

"I was...thinking if we can still win..."

"I can't really say but...let's do this...er...together, okay?"

"...Alright..." Yoshi said, still worried as he walked ahead with his motorcycle.

Preview of the next chapter

Soon, chaos reigned the place, roaring sounds were heard, the lava shook violently around and everbody panicked, the spectators back at the dome were scared by this moment, thunders were filling the dark sky, and the Smashers prepared to fight against the creature causing this event of destruction.

...

"Next time: Kart Racing and LPP! Racing around and...what?" Diddy asked confused.

Chapter 90: Kart Racing and LPP! Racing around and...what?

"...Are we sure this is the location?" Jigglypuff asked trembling.

"Well, they said this area is called "Grumble Volcano," so I guess this is." Yoshi said.

Grumble Volcano

"It's just me...or does the heat increases by every second?" Red asked wipping out the sweat from his forehead.

"We're surrounded by magma, lava, magma, and even more lava...hey, how did we come here again?" Squirtle asked confused.

"Beats me." Mallow said.

"Welcome, everybody, to Grumble Volcano! A place filled with dangers of lava, magma, pits and even flying hot rocks!" Toadsworth said.

"I-isn't this place a little bit dangerous to race though?" Luigi asked seeing waves of lava crashing into the rocks.

"Not at all, we proved this place as safe for racing, moving on, are the racers in their positions?"

"Oh hell yes!" Daisy said pumping up her motorcycle.

"(Daisy seems to be ready...from the beginning.) OK! Racers, take your positions, the winner of this race will determine the winner of the festival of sports of the Mushroom Kingdom!"

Many Lakitus were broadcasting the match from above, people back at the dome were cheering loudly.

"...Not good, I can't sense the vines anymore." Ivysaur said.

"Why is that?" Squirtle asked.

"The magma is discrupting my abilities...and the heat here is intolerable as well..." Ivysaur said wiping out sweat from his head using Vine Whip.

"...Everyone! This is the last time so, I hope none of us screw up this!" Yoshi said to his team who nodded.

"3! 2! 1!"

Grumble Volcano

"GO!!!" Toadsworth waved the flag and announced the start of the race, everyone got a mini-turbo as they all raced down the road very close to each other.

"...What was that?!" DK asked hearing a loud explosion under the lava.

"I don't know, but maybe that explosion is part of the track?" Red wondered.

Back in the race, the racers were entering the cave, turned right and grabbed the item boxes once many took separate roads.

"Birdo is on 1st place!" Jigglypuff said.

"Correction, was!" Mallow said using a Red Shell that went towards Birdo, but Birdo threw a Banana Peel to use it as a shield, they were now exiting the cave.

"MOVE OUT! COMING!" Bowser appeared using a Mega Mushroom exactly from last place, he accelerated towards everybody who were all lined-up, eventually crushing all of them under his weight as he sped to catch up with Birdo.

"I hate to say this but Bowser didn't cheat this time!" Mallow said as he was flat.

"Was that really necessary to point out?" Chris asked, crossing the gaps to reach the other side, where many volcanoes were erupting with rage.

"Oh, lava, how much I love thee." Charizard said poetically.

...Before a flaming rock crushed him.

"...Oh, flaming rock, how much I HATE THEE!" Charizard yelled angrily (and poetically) under the rock, dropping to last place.

"LOOK OUT!" Yoshi yelled turning right too evade being crushed under a flaming rock.

"...What the hel-METEORS ARE COMING THIS WAY!" Toadette yelled loudly seeing dozens and dozens of flaming rocks being fired from all the volcanoes, flying high up in the air and starting to descend rapidly to each one of them.

"EVERYONE BY THEIR OWN!" Daisy yelled loudly taking another part to the finish line, while everyone did the same and did their best to evade the flaming rocks.

"Second lap!" Lakitu declared once Birdo and Bowser passed the line, 8 seconds later, the other racers passed the line.

"There's another explosion!" DK yelled.

"...Wait, something is not right..." Fox glanced around the track.

"Those magma rocks are being spreaded all over the place...but non-stop!" Red said gasping.

"Chris! Chris! Chris!" Professor Kawashima yelled from Chris's pocket as the World Traveler evaded 4 rocks.

"W-what is it?! C-can't you I'm trying to save my life?!" Chris asked by yelling.

"The Shadow Bugs are getting even closer, much worse, the rocks falling all over the place shouldn't be attacking anyone!"

"Attacking?"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Chris looked behind him where Toadette once was, but a flaming rock didn't appear from the sky, but from the pool of magma, pushing her off the stage.

"Toadette!"

"Don't worry about her, she will appear back on the track shortly!" Yoshi said speeding close to Chris, crossing the gaps to the small valley of volcanoes.

"...Lakitu! Get moving and bring back Toadette!" Toadsworth yelled to one Lakitu, who panicked as he searched around. "What is wrong with you?"

"I-I can't find Toadette anywhere! She disappeared from my reach!" Lakitu yelled.

"Nonsense! The lava here isn't damaging, unless she fell to the bottom, which is unlikely possible to happen!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

"PEACH!" Jigglypuff yelled after Peach was attacked by a flaming rock, pushing her off the track. "OWW!" Dedede came from behind using a Red Shell, the "king" smirked as he took the right road to make to the finish line.

"Oh, no, Mario, I-I don't think this is normal anymore..." Luigi said trembling (both Luigi and Mario were close to the Smashers).

"Well, there's a lot of chaos around the track s-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The Smashers gasped when Mario was attacked by another flaming rock, Luigi watched his brother falling to the lava in horror.

"MAAAAAAARIOOOOOOOO!" Luigi yelled scared.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Daisy was also attacked before she could pass the finish line to reach the final lap.

"DAISY! NOT YOU TOO!"

"(Heheheheheh, this isn't going so bad at all.)" Bowser thought evily as he crossed the finish line.

"FINAL LAP!" Lakitu declared.

Grumble Volcano Last Lap

"H-how can you say that after seeing everyone running for their dear lifes?" DK asked.

"I'm not the one racing, besides, everything is just fine." Lakitu said.

"Toadette, Peach, Daisy and even Mario who isn't participating were attacked and haven't returned yet!" Ivysaur said angrily.

"OH MY GOSH! MARIO TOO?! I DIDN'T SEE THAT! EVERYBODY! SEARCH FOR THEM QUICKLY!" Lakitu panicked yelling to all the Lakitus who began to descend close to the magma to search for the fallen racers.

"...Wait just a second! Why isn't Bowser's team being attacked as all of us?!" Mallow asked seeing all the magma rocks only trying to crush or push them, but to Bowser and his teammates, they weren't being threatened at all as they crossed inside the cave.

"Heheheeeeh! That is because we're cheating again!" Bowser Jr. said chuckling evily.

"JUNIOR!" Bowser yelled from the front angrily.

"...OH, NO!"

"YOU'RE CHEATING AGAIN?!" Yoshi asked in shock as they crossed the gaps, then, Birdo appeared from behind.

"Yoshi! We need to get out of here, my team was attacked and they haven't returned here yet!" Birdo said panicning a little.

"H-how could you be cheating again?! Can't you play fair for once?!" Jigglypuff asked.

"Not a chance in hell!" Charizard said. "We're GOING to WIN this STUPID event by taking and killing all of you once and for ALL!"

"That's it, it's official, you 3 are totally sick of the mind!" Chris said disgusted.

"...Hey! What about me?!" Bowser Jr. asked angrily.

"No use hiding this crap anymore!" Bowser said snapping his fingers.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Luigi was attacked by a magma rock and was pushed to the lava.

"LUIGI!" Red yelled worried.

"TAKE COVER AND DUCK!" Fox ordered loudly as he duked.

"OH MY HOLY-TAKE COVER!" Squirtle yelled scared, hiding in his shell.

"W-what's wrong?" Red asked confused.

"GET DOWN!" DK yelled pushing Red with himself to the ground, evading a series of magma rocks coming from the lava pool.

"T-THOSE ROCKS ARE ATTACKING EVERYONE!" Ivysaur yelled seeing the magma rocks pushing all the Lakitus broadcasting the match, Toadsworth and even Birdo who were pushed to the lava.

"YOSHIIIIIII!!!" Birdo yelled before she? fell into the lava.

"BIRDO!" Yoshi yelled preocupied.

"Sorry, but this is the end of the line for you, good bye, it was a pleasure to tolerate you around!" Dedede said laughing with the villains who jumped off the track and fell into lava, the Smashers thought they did a stupid move, but probably they were safe in some manner.

Music stops

The track was empty, nobody was there except of the Smashers and one last Lakitu that survived the attacks (he even had one last camera with him), silence reigned the place and Yoshi, Mallow, Jigglypuff and Chris looked around for the sudden peace as they returned with DK, Fox, Red, Squirtle and Ivysaur.

Only the sound of waves of lava crashing into the rocks were heard, along with small explosions around.

"...I-I'm scared...we were left alone in this place..." Chris said studdering.

"Everyone was attacked but we were lucky to get through." Fox said.

"This is bad...I don't think things are going to get better..." Red said studdering a little.

"You there!" The Lakitu flew to them and aimed his camera at them. "Do you know what happened here? The crowd in the dome is panicking for this unexpected event! Maybe you could shed them some light to this?"

"(Must...avoid...stage...fright...)" Chris thought blushing embarrassed after Lakitu aimed his camera at him. "...Er...well...w-we don't know exactly what did this, b-but surely this is going to be a-answered shortly if we do some research."

DK looked down into the lava. "...Are we going in?"

"N-no way! Lava is fire, magma is fire! Bad for grass! Bad for Ivysaur!" Ivysaur said panicking in third-person.

...And suddenly, an earthquake began to manifest and the whole area shook violently, thunders began to fill the clouds.

"...Mallow, please tell me you're crying..." Yoshi said studdering.

"I-I'm not crying! This is not my doing!" Mallow protested.

"ALERT! WARNING! SOS! CAUTION! CALL THE MARINE! SHADOW BUGS ARE BEGINNING TO APPEAR!" Professor Kawashima said panicking in Chris's pocket.

Soon, chaos reigned the place, roaring sounds were heard, the lava shook violently around and everbody panicked, the spectators back at the dome were scared by this moment, thunders were filling the dark sky, and the Smashers prepared to fight against the creature causing this event of destruction.

"...T-then..." Chris changed to his Summoner job. "I-I hope I'm doing the right choice..."

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"W-what was that?" Jigglypuff asked.

The center of the track was covered by a wide plain of rock that appeared from the magma, making a big field, the center of the track also got vines that spreaded all over the place, a tall tower of vines with sharp thorns covering something inside rose up, the Smashers looked puzzled at this but went on the new area, looking around to stay with caution.

"...Let's go." Fox said walking towards the plain.

"H-hey! I-I should be saying that line, no fair!" Chris said pouting a little before walking inside.

"Mallow, don't get scared, this is your first time you participate in a battle in a long time, don't get scared, don't pee your pants, is your pink hair looking good?" Mallow asked himself.

"Too much information." Jigglypuff said shrugging.

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!"

"S-stop with the maniacal laugh and show yourself already!" Yoshi demanded trembling.

Holes began to sprout around them once they were close to the vine tower, magma sprout out, but after that, it stopped before erupting, the holes were 10 spreaded around, they were wide too.

"...LOOK OUT!" DK yelled after another earthquake shook the place, before they knew it, 5 tall, big figures covered in lava sprout out from the holes and looked to the sky, once the magma left their bodies, they lowered their heads to grin evily after looking down the Smashers who gasped in unison.

"Y-you! I thought we were done with you!" Squirtle said.

The figure was none other than LPP, his body was glowing with a dark aura, probably because the Shadow Bugs enhanced his strength to a dangerous level.

"I am Shadow Lava Piranha Plant! One of the kidnappers of the Seven Star Spirits!" Shadow Lava Piranha Plant said laughing evily together with his heads, who said the same thing in unison. (We're going to refer him as SLPP for short).

"S-Shadow? Then that means you're a much powerful foe like that Metal Sonic..." Chris said and the 5 nodded chuckling.

"Exactly," One of SLPP's heads showed them his tongue and they found a card on it. "Here, proof that we have the third Star Spirit, Skolar!"

Skolar's reflection appeared above the card and looked worried to the Smashers. "Help! Somebody! I need to be rescued! I don't want to stay in this prison any longer like the last time!" Skolar yelled before he vanished and the head got his tongue back inside.

"G-give it back to us!" Chris said pointing his staff at them.

"Unfortunately, we're the bad guys here, so guess what? We're not doing that!" One of SLPP's heads said.

"We can't wait to kill these persons either!" SLPP said ordering a vine from the vine tower to lower, the Smashers gasped when they saw something inside the vines...

...The rest of the Smashers, and the racers were there inside a vine cage, unconscious as Chris almost broke into tears after seeing Lucario faint. "L-LUCARIO!" Chris yelled worried about his Pokémon but the vine rose up and covered the cage. "Y-y-you stupid, bastard! What did you do to Lucario?!"

"That guy tried to get out, but our vines are supeeeeeeeeer thick to be cut down by his so-called "brute force" Tabuu mentioned." SLPP said chuckling.

"Can we start fighting already? I can't WAAAAAAIT to pummel this plant!" DK said pushing the air.

"You, together with everyone else, are going to be the ones being pummeled you monkey! You should surrender, this field favorates us since there's magma and lava involved, you don't stand a chance against us this time!"

"W-w-we can do this!" Jigglypuff protested trembling.

"F-for Geno and Mario!" Mallow said trembling.

"A-and for everyone else and Lucario..." Chris closed his eyes before opening them again. "W-WE WILL SAVE THEM FROM YOU, F-FREAK!"

Final Fantasy X - Boss Theme

"And it begins!" SLPP said hiding inside the magma with his heads.

"B-bad move, I'm going to call a summon now!" Chris said gathering magic into his staff before showing it to the sky.

...But petals began to fall around and the Smashers got confused, even a petal tree appeared close to them and they heard someone barking.

"Huh?" Chris looked to the tree where an orange dog came barking happily and he stopped right in front of Chris, who ducked and petted his head. "Aw, you're a little cute..."

"Chris, this ISN'T the time to be petting dogs!" Red said before a japanese guitar was heard and footsteps began to appear behind the tree.

From the tree, a caped tall figure appeared walking slowly towards, the figure had a hat, a long cape covering his weaponry below, a chinese sword on his belt, the figure was the Aeon, Yojimbo, who stopped right in front of them and looked to Chris.

"I am Yojimbo, Summoner, I am here to help you in your ordeals." Yojimbo said nodding.

"Sweet! We got a samurai to help us out!" Iyvsaur said happily.

"...However, my services aren't free."

"WHAT?!" The Smashers asked surprised.

"You must give me my payment in order to accept my services." Yojimbo explained.

"...There is always something screwing up your "Summons," Chris." Fox said sweatdropping.

"H-hey, I know you're supposed to be the Aeon that accepts money to attack, but can you make an exception this time?" Chris pleaded joining his hands.

"Then I would lost the whole reason of being a hired bodyguard." Yojimbo said.

"What did he mean by that?" DK asked.

Chris pulled out his glasses and coughed a little. "Basically, Yojimbo's name has roots in Japanese history. A yojimbo is a hired bodyguard that acts as a...well, a bodyguard, but you need to pay him or her in order to be protected," he threw the glasses away. "But you're my Aeon! I didn't hire you!"

"The rules of making pacts with the Aeons are not applied to me, now, pay me." Yojimbo said holding out his hand.

"...That sentence sounded really awkward in a situation like this..." Mallow said blinking bored.

"...(Okay, remember, Yojimbo can attack depending of how much I pay him, he can attack ordering his dog...what was his name? Daigoro? Yes, that was it.)"

"THE PLANT IS APPEARING! HURRY UP CHRIS!" Squirtle said as one of SLLP's heads rose up preparing to attack them.

"Scatter around everyone!" Chris ordered and everyone ran to different parts of the area. "Okay, here, 200 Smash Coins, use a good attack!" Chris gave 200 Smash Coins to Yojimbo, who nodded.

Chris gave 200 Smash Coins

"Daigoro, go." Yojimbo said ordering his dog to attack using his legs on SLPP, doing minor damage.

"...That's it?" Chris asked.

"You need to pay me more if you want another attack by Daigoro." Yojimbo said before a toon vein appeared on Chris's forehead.

"You're supposed to attack! Not your dog!"

"Daigoro is also a part of me, both of us are Aeons in one."

"...At this rate, I'm going to lose all my money..."

"What did you say Summoner?"

"N-nothing... (Why do I keep getting pathetic attacks?)"

"Hey! You! Prepare to be crushed!" SLPP appeared from behind a hole and Chris screamed, but Yojimbo took him under his cape and jumped out of the way of a head slam.

"...Wow, thank you Yojimbo! You aren't that bad actual-"

"That would be 400." Yojimbo held out his hand.

"WHAT?!"

"Protecting my client is even more expensive than attacking, now, pay me."

"...Grr..." Chris gave 400 Smash Coins to Yojimbo.

Chris gave 400 Smash Coins

"What do you want me to do now?"

"Stop asking me for money!" Chris complained.

"No, that would not do."

"DAMIT!"

Back with the others, they were really having a real fight, not like Chris.

SLLP's heads appeared from the holes and began shooting fire at all directions, everyone were rolling out the attacks to evade them.

"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" Ivysaur screamed as he was dodging fire balls like crazy.

"Hey, let me help you!" Squirtle said stepping in front of the scared Ivysaur.

"Squirtle, use Water Gun and protect Ivysaur!" Red ordered from the finish line (since he can't fight).

Squirtle nodded and shot a stream of water from his mouth to back off the fire and protect Ivysaur. "Hmm...I wonder if..." Ivysaur called his guts and grabbed Squirtle using Vine Whip to approach him closer to SLPP, who backed away after the water was getting near.

"Ha! Not that powerful as you boasted!" Squirtle said...stopping as he was burned. "...Ivysaur...sometimes, I hate you...this is one..." Squirtle said fainting.

"Oops." Ivysaur replied before he was about to be burned. "HEEEEEELP!"

"Coming!" Jigglypuff came from the right using Rollout to push Ivysaur and herself out of the way, even Squirtle was dragged since he was on Ivysaur's vines.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Ivysaur said rubbing his cheek to Jigglypuff's.

"H-hey! Stop it! You're making me blush!" Jigglypuff said blushing embarrassed.

"Here you are!" One of SLPP's head popped out from a hole as he charged a shot from his mouth.

"...Wait, something is not right with that shining light..."

"HA!" SLPP shot surprisingly a ball of magma that went quickly to Jigglypuff and Ivysaur, making a explosion of fire and engulfed both of them.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Ivysaur and Jigglypuff screamed loudly.

"M-magma?! He can shoot magma balls at us?!" Yoshi asked in shock, seeing 2 heads charging magma balls. "AH!" Yoshi ran somewhere panicked evading the shots of magma.

"I-I'm worried about Jigglypuff and Ivysaur!" Chris said worried. "Okay, 600 Smash Coins!"

Chris gave 600 Smash Coins

"Kozuka." Yojimbo said taking out a dagger from his cape, before revealing 2 more daggers that he shot at fast speed to one of SLPP's heads, making a fair amount of great damage.

"UGH! YOU!" SLPP grunted in pain and charged more shots of magma from his mouth.

"U-umm, I'll resist the attack instead of evading it!" Chris said crossing his staff in front of him.

"Be that way." Yojimbo said doing nothing.

SLPP shot a barrage of magma balls to Chris, the World Traveler closed his eyes to resist the attacks and Yojimbo just stood there, not receiving any attacks since they were all aimed at Chris.

"...Nothing happened?" Chris asked uncrossing his staff.

"Hey, you should evade if you want to live." Fox said in front of Chris, who quickly appeared using his Reflector to protect Chris.

"T-thanks Fox!"

"AAHHHH!!!" SLPP was being damaged by his own shots and he was pushed back, but he returned grinning. "Fools! Reflecting my own attacks can heal me!"

"W-what?" Chris and Fox said shocked.

"NOW, BYE!" SLPP yelled using a new attack, a stream of lava being fired from his mouth.

"I can't reflect that, roll out!" Fox ordered rolling out of the way with Chris, a part of the stream touched Chris's right arm and he felt extreme pain.

"Ugh!" Chris grabbed his right arm.

"C-Chris! Are you alright?"

"O-of course not! That attack can kill us with one-hit if we aren't careful!"

"You should have payed me to protect you, or both of you." Yojimbo suggested.

"..." Fox looked at Chris with a bored look. "Is this "Aeon" always like this?"

"...Unfortunately." Chris said sighing together with Fox.

"Hello?" SLPP appeared from a hole a prepared to slam his head on them.

"YOJIMBO! ATTACK HIM!"

"Pay me." Yojimbo demanded.

Chris gave 500 Smash Coins

"Kozuka." Yojimbo appeared right in front of them at blinding speed and stopped SLPP's head using his 3 daggers as shields. "Hmph, begone." Yojimbo said pushing SLPP away and stabbing his 3 daggers into him.

"At this rate I'm going to be broke!" Chris complained.

"Are you going to pay me?"

"THAT'S IT! Yojimbo, dismiss!" Chris said angrily, swinging his staff one time.

"Too bad, I thought using Zanmato to end this fight with one-hit was good with the next payment you were going to give me regardless of the amount of money." Yojimbo said disappearing in a cloud of smoke when he did a hand-sign, Daigoro also disappeared with a howl.

"...Oh hell no! I'm not going to call you back just to be scammed!" Chris yelled to no one in particular.

"BYE!" SLPP yelled as he was about to crush both of them with a fast head slam.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" DK came from the left and grabbed both of them with his left arm and evaded successfully the slam.

"Thank goodness! It was really a good idea to make you join us!" Chris said before DK put him and Fox down.

"Over Limit gauge filled!" Professor Kawashima said.

"Let's save it for later, we should first see if SLPP has an attack pattern." Fox said.

At that moment, all the heads hid inside the magma and they all looked to the holes. "Now what?" Mallow asked.

"HEAD BASH!" SLPP yelled inside the magma, all the heads suddenly began to sprout out from the magma in a quick succession and slammed their heads to the ground, damaging everyone with moderate damage as they yelled in pain.

"OWW! OWW! OWW! OWW! OWW!" Mallow yelled in pain as the others did the same before the attack seized. "...I'm almost...done for..."

"...Why do I need to use this job the most..." Chris said frowning as he changed to his Fonyc Hymn User job. "O healing powe-"

"Forget about that!" SLPP called from the magma and appeared near a hole, went towards Chris and swallowed him whole.

"HELP MEEEEEEE!" Chris yelled inside SLPP's mouth.

"W-we need...to rescue him!" Jigglypuff said panting.

"Duh!" Red replied from the finish line.

"Well, that's going to be easy since we're too many an-" DK was interrupted before the heads shuffled together by entering and existing the holes rapidly. "...Forget what I said..."

"Chris! Can you hear us?!" Yoshi asked by yelling.

"Heheh, too bad, I made him faint and it's going to be difficult for you to find him!" SLPP said chuckling. "If you don't hurry up, the magma will incinerate him..."

"But the lava here is harmless!" Red yelled.

"Nope! Not a chance!" SLPP said laughing before the magma shone and stopped. "The magma is now harmful but good for me to hide!"

"Everybody! Start looking for Chris!" Mallow ordered and they began to attack the heads by double jumping and using aerial attacks on the heads. "...Wait, maybe I can...SNOWY!" Mallow called out to the sky where winds containing ice quickly scattered around the field, frozing the heads instantly by a big snowman that crushed the field but not the Smashers before exploding into more snow, that vanished.

"Good job Mallow!" Jigglypuff said using Rollout in one of the heads.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" SLPP grunted in rage and shattered the ice around him. "I HATE ICE!"

"Yeah! You know? That's very bad for our health an-" One of the heads was speaking with a weird tone of voice, like if something was inside his mouth, then Yoshi snapped his fingers and looked at that head.

"Chris is in there!" Yoshi said.

"...Oops." SLPP said embarrassed.

"..Sorry, but I have to do this..." Yoshi swallowed Mallow, turning him into an egg and used Yoshi Egg to aim at the head and throw his egg to him, the egg hit the head with a direct hit and it dropped Chris, who was falling to the ground unconscious.

"Oof!" Mallow got out from the egg and shook his head.

"Somebody catch Chris before he gets hurt!"

"I'm right on that!" DK said running to Chris, the gorilla rolled to the ground and caught Chris on his arms then looked down to him. "Hey, Chris! Wake up!"

"...Uuuuugh..." Chris shook his head and tried to regain his vision, before seeing DK's face straight.

"Heheh."

"UAH!" Chris yelled scared and jumped off from DK's arms.

"Be grateful, you were going to be thrown in the lava!"

"...Really?"

"Watch out!" Mallow yelled as DK took Chris with him and evaded a head slam.

"O healing power..." Chris quickly tried to cast First Aid on Ivysaur.

"SQUIRTLE! SQUIRTLE!" Red yelled from afar and tried to wake up Squirtle, the turtle Pokémon shook his head and awakened. "Squirtle! Can you still fight?"

"I-I guess so..." Squirtle said before he quickly hid in his shell and resisted a flamethower attack from SLPP. "HELP!"

"(Wait, I got it!) First Aid!" Chris casted First Aid on Ivysaur, who regained consciouness and shook his head, he looked around and found Mallow. "Mallow, attack the same head that is attacking Squirtle, he's distracted trying to hurt Squirtle, do you have an attack to deal a great amount of damage?"

"Y-yes, I do! Thunderbolt!" Mallow held out his hand to the sky and thunderbolts began to rain down the clouds, not only the thunders hit the one head, but crashed into the rest of the heads who screamed in pain.

Burning Fighting Spirit

"...Mallow! That's it! Your magic is the weakness of this monster!"

"Really?" Mallow asked tilting his head with a small smile.

Chris looked at the heads who were stunned and couldn't move around. "Everyone! I got a tactic!"

"I'm all ears, tell us." Yoshi said.

"Look, the heads can get distracted when they attack someone, during their attack, they stop focusing their attacks on the others, if someone can attack them while they're busy, then we could win against them, not only that, if Mallow's magic can reach all of them, then it's much better!" Chris explained and the group instantly smiled with a nod of agreement.

"And don't forget the Over Limit gauge ready." Fox reminded him.

"What's the Over Limit thing?" DK asked.

"The Over Limit lets someone use his or her Final Smash to deal a powerful attack to the enemy, everyone has a different Final Smash of their own, to use it, you need to say a sentence to use the Over Limit, then, use your Final Smash anytime when you are glowing." Chris explained.

DK began to hop a little. "Ooh! Ooh! It's my Final Smash about making me bigger?!"

"..." Chris remembered DK's Final Smash. "...Er...I don't think so..."

"Aww...oh well, anything's good."

"How about if we use the items for a chance?" Red asked from afar.

"Hey, he's right! We haven't used the items!" Jigglypuff said.

"And the Star Spirits, I can use them to help us!" Chris said.

"Is everyone ready?" Yoshi asked.

"Ready!" Everyone said and they turned to different heads, who regained their compostures and looked at them.

"Let's stun them for more time, Mamar! Please help us!" Chris said joining his hands and calling forth Mamar in a blink of light. "Mamar! Use Lullaby on them!"

"Oh?" Mamar looked at the piranhas looking straight to her. "When I was a little child, my mother used to cook these good cookies that I usually enjoyed, they were so good that I shared them with my friends in the schools for young stars, anyway, they thought they were so delicious that they asked me for more, so I asked my mother to make even more cookies to share with my friends and then we thought about opening a cookie shop to sell in the Star Street, basically, the idea was to make money and donate it to the needed stars, did you know that there are homeless stars up above the sky where they need food to survive? So we started that shop and I need to tell you, we sold a lot of them! Dozens by dozens, they began t-"

"All that talk is making me feel kind of tiiiiiiiiiiiireeeeeeedddddd..." SLPP said before the heads fell asleep, snoring loudly.

"Zzzzzzzz..." Chris was shown sleeping as he was standing up.

"CHRIS!" Jigglypuff yelled using Pound on him.

"Oh, what?! They're asleep! Attack them!"

Mamar giggled. "Call me once you have more star power sweetie." Mamar said before she disappeared.

"Let's see...what to use..." Chris searched through the inventory. "Soccer Ball?"

DK quickly took the Soccer Ball out from Chris's hands and used a charged up Giant Punch, the ball was engulfed by the fire (OF YOUUUUUUUUUTH! Not actual fire) and stroke down one of the heads dealing massive damage. "Bull's eye!" DK said as the ball fell down.

"Oh, you want a bull's eye?" Mallow asked raising his finger in the air and the prince closed his eyes before slamming it down in the air to the ball. "SHOCKER!"

SHOCKER!

A huge bolt fell down the Soccer Ball and it got covered in fire, blasting off to one of the heads, again, dealing massive damage as it fell down to the ground.

"Hmm..." Squirtle looked at the Soccer Ball rolling towards him and then got an idea. "I got it!" Squirtle said snapping his tiny fingers, the turtle Pokémon hid inside his shell and charged up a Water Gun attack.

"Now, Squirtle, use fully charged Water Gun!" Red ordered and Squirtle shot a fast stream of water to the ball, it went blasting off to another head, dealing massive damage.

"...Wow, I didn't think the Soccer Ball had so much power..." Chris said in awe.

"...All of you..."

Yoshi looked to his right where Fox looked down clenching his fists. "...Fox? Are you alright?"

"...All of you..."

"All of us what?" Jigglypuff asked confused.

"...All of you...ARE COMPLETE AMATEURS!" Fox yelled angrily before he sped towards the Soccer Ball, making everyone to make confused looks.

"...Complete amateurs?" Chris, Jigglypuff, DK, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Yoshi and Mallow repeated confused.

What they saw next was really surprising, once Fox reached the ball, he lifted it with his legs high in the air, jumped to it and did several complex soccer maneuvers that made the Soccer Ball to caught fire and blasted off to every single head in quick succession, making everyone to open their jaws wide open.

"...Falco wasn't kidding about the soccer memories..." Chris said in awe.

"...Wait, maybe we can take advantage of Fox's soccer skills and deal many attacks with them!" Yoshi suggested.

"...I got it!" Chris said snapping his fingers as he finally decided to use the Dragoon job (he was dressed as Freya Crescent, but in light-blue clothes). "If we can maintain Fox in the air long enough, we could extend the duration of the combo he's making!"

Yoshi looked to Fox who began to descend from the air. "Hurry! Follow me!" Yoshi said running towards Fox.

"...Yoshi's a tactician as well?" Chris asked to himself, shook his head and followed Yoshi.

"Alright, here's the plan, both of us will stand below Fox and we'll be human platforms to make him stay longer in the air as he continues to hit them."

"Sounds good to me." Chris said nodding to Yoshi who nodded back, Yoshi jumped towards Fox and pushed him higher in the air with his back, the vulpine continue to kick the ball back and forth as Yoshi descended and Chris jumped high up to levitate him using his lance.

"OWW! OWW! WATCH IT! OWW! OWW!" SLPP's heads complained as this combo constantly kept going.

The Soccer Ball was going to vanish, but Fox did a final kick stronger than the last ones and blasted off the ball with great speed to one head, surprisingly, it killed one of the 5 heads as Fox landed between Chris and Yoshi as he grinned, triumphaly.

"That has to be the MOST, AMAZING COMBO I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" Chris said happily.

"As I've said before," Fox stood up, crossed his arms and closed his eyes, still grinning. "You're all amateurs."

"I have to remark your opinion, that was soooo incredible!" Yoshi said.

And what do you know, Fox finally had his badass moment coming for a while, didn't he?

"Y-you darn furry! You killed one of me!" SLPP said angrily.

"...Wasn't that sentence awkward as well?" Ivysaur asked.

"(Huh? Is this...feeling again...)" Chris thought.

"(W-what's happening? Where am I?)" Yoshi thought.

"(Y-Yoshi?!)"

"(Chris?! W-what's happening? And what do I have this weird idea of creating an attack together with you?)" Yoshi asked confused.

"(...Wait, the Dragoon job is compatible with Yoshi then?... So that's how our Combinated Final Smash goes...)"

"(Chris!)"

"(O-oh! Sorry Yoshi, w-well, you see, this happens when me and another Smasher have reached their maximum partnership capacity, meaning that you trust me completely, right?)"

"(W-well...I do trust you...I mean, you offered to help me in the festival of sports...)"

"(...I'm so happy for that Yoshi! It means so much for me!)"

"(...So, what do we do now?)"

"(Our Lvl. 1 Final Smash, remember how is it?)"

"(...You know, I do!)"

"Then let's test it!" Chris said nodding with Yoshi.

"Hey, stop ignoring me!" SLPP said annoyed.

"And me!" SLPP said annoyed.

"Or me!" SLPP said annoyed.

"And most important of all, me!" SLPP said annoyed and the heads looked at each other with annoyed looks...annoyed.

"Jump!" Yoshi said as Chris rode Yoshi's back (Chris thought it was really fun to ride Yoshi) and the dinosaur/dragon/whatever propelled up very high in the air and disappeared in a blink.

"...Where'd did they go?" DK asked confused.

"Who cares about those pests?! It's time to get revenge on you!" SLPP said preparing to shot a stream of magma from his mouth.
