Gritzy Desert

Gritzy Desert

Flashback

"Remember," Master Hand said. "I need to get the babies back from you before night falls, B. Chris's parents are going to come and get him back, and please, get B. Ganondorf back as well!"

End of flashback

"And welcome...to the hottest desert...Gritzy Desert..." Chris said panting under the heavy sun's rays.

"...Rain...I want...some rain..." Yoshi said weakly, sticking out his tongue.

The Smashers were now back on track on their mission after listening to Master Hand's story, seeing Mario and Luigi learning a very bizarre move called the Bros. Ball, meeting both Toadsworths, E. Gadd (who tried to capture Master Hand for an experiment) and after the brothers completed a puzzle to go to the next location of the Shroobs, they all jumped inside a new warp hole to the past...

Though one would say the next place was some kind of imitation from hell, it was the burning sands of the Gritzy Desert of the past, a living frying pan of pure hot temperatures.

"Water...need...some water..." Mallow said weakly.

"Are...the babies...okay?" Luigi asked sweating.

"Hmm..." B. Chris muttered weakly as B. Riolu gave him some shade using his tail. "...Heheheh..."

"I just...love my giggler baby self." Chris said panting before someone gave him some shade. "..."

"...I-it's my duty." Lucario said holding his hand above Chris.

"...Fine, but nothing else."

Lucario stared at B. Riolu, who was glaring at him. "...I'm not going to do the same mistake, I swear it!"

"Ri." B. Riolu looked away.

Of all of them, Lucario wasn't all that affected, but he would be if he spent more time under the sun, because he was starting to sweat in his forehead.

"Oh...I see a biiiiiiig lake over there..." Mallow said spotting a big lake of water.

"...Mallow...don't be stupid...it's just sand...the sun's rays are creating mirages...just to confuse us..." Shiek said panting.

"Yes...she is right...because there is no way...Slippy and Peppy...are just over there...drinking lemonade..." Fox said pointing at 2 cactus.

If we see through his eyes, we could see Slippy and Peppy drinking mentioned drink, sitting below umbrellas as they saw them walking under the sun. "Yoooooooouuuuuu knoooooooow yooooooooou waaaaant iiiiiiiit, Foooooox!" Mirage Slippy said waving his lemonade with a smile.

"..." Fox's mouth began to drool.

"Eww..." B. Fox said disgusted and slapped his adult self's face.

"Phew...thanks..."

"Heheh!"

"Look!... I see a big...dome!" Luigi said narrowing his eyes to the Koopa Dome.

"Please...tell me that is not a mirage..." Wolf said weakly.

"Is not!" Mario said already touching the wall, the group found a big switch for 4 to stand (ideal for the brothers, but kind of awkward to the Smashers and Mallow with hs baby self). "There!" Mario, along with his brother and babies jumped above the switch and opened the entrance of the dome.

"Finally...some shade..." B. Meta Knight said as they all went inside the dark dome.

However, we couldn't see inside the dome, we were still looking from outside, where the darkness of the other side of the door only was as their voices were heard.

"Good thing we got inside this abandoned dome." Yoshi said.

"I don't know why am I forgetting something though..." Chris said.

"Shut up and let me find something to drink, I'm thirsty." Wolf said annoyed.

"Hey, I think I found something here." Mallow said.

"I-I think found something else here too." Luigi said.

"UA-Oww! Hey! Who put their foot in my way?" Pit asked.

"You know, I've got the feeling somebody is in here." Shiek said.

"I have that feeling too." B. Zelda said.

"...Me don't like this..." B. Wolf said.

"Me neither..." B, Fox said shuddering.

"Ri!" B. Riolu said hugging B. Chris.

"Uuuuhhh..." B. Chris hid in his mantel.

"...Grrr..." Lucario grunted.

"...Why do I have the feeling that when you grunt, something bad is going to happen right away?" Fox asked.

"...It is because we're in fact, surrounded..." Meta Knight said.

"...Mamma mia..." Mario said before an insane amount of red glowing eyes opened in unison all around them, blinking in unison before yelling a not so understandable language...

"=$/&#)"&#&%=$#%/($=&()#"$%/#"(=)&%&(=$!!!"

The Shroobs were hiding from the Smashers.

Now, since the adults were a lot more brave (Luigi couldn't be considered of this category (Luigi: Hey!)), they didn't yell or screamed.

...But let's say the babies weren't on that category.

"UUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" All the babies ran out from the dome screaming in horror and fear.

"BABIES!" Luigi yelled worried chasing after them.

"OH MY GOD, GET THEM BEFORE THEY SCATTER AROUND!" Mallow yelled loudly as all the Smashers ran out and chased the babies, then a huge stampede of Shroobs chased after both groups.

"(%=/(&#"%$#=/&=%(/=&(%/=)!!!" A Shroob yelled pointing at the group getting away.

"BABIES!" Luigi yelled once again and motioned behind a long pillar where the babies hid quickly, then the green plumber told the group to hide there as well, hidng behind the pillar completly as the stampede of Shroobs ran to the center, to the west, the long stampede seemed to no end, but it ended with a last Shroobs running away.

"God...they...really...want...us...dead..." Pit said panting.

In Luigi's eyes, he saw B. Mario and B. Luigi walking out their hiding spot and he panicked. "BABIES!" Luigi jumped in shock and went after the babies, stopping them on their tracks. "OH, NO! Don't do that agai-"

"#(=%"&$)/)&$/$)$#"=!!!"

"WAAAAAAHH!!!" Luigi got in shock after a Shroob came from behind them, then the 3 ran away as the Shroob chased them around, the babies and their adults selves got out from their hiding spot and looked around, though all the babies sat on the sand to wait for Luigi and the other babies.

"Ha! You saps are all wet!"

"I wish we would!" Yoshi responded before blinking confused. "...Hey, I know that voice..."

From behind them, a spinning pink shell came from underneath the sand and stopped spinning, before their eyes, Kylie Koopa appeared giving all of them her trademark thumbs up. "Waltz into the dome's front door and you're sure to get spotted and carted away lickety split!"

"We...got the misfortune...already..." Chris said panting.

"Geez, you're all sweaty! Why didn't you take a water holder like me?" Kylie took out many water bottles that they quickly took off her arms. "Whoa! You sure were thirsty!"

"Wateeeeer!" Yoshi rejoiced, as we see Luigi, B. Mario and B. Luigi being chased in the background by the Shroob, making the babies to laugh at this.

"What? Remember me, huh? Being the Koopa Kronicle's reporter doll again has gotcha all goofy, does it? That's right, Kylie Koopa's got your number!"

"So, are you here just by coincidence, or it's because you found another big scoop?" Mario asked and Kylie nodded, as Luigi was running away from the Shroob, as both babies chased it with their hammers, making the other babies to laugh even louder at this.

"Yup! Something big's gonna happen in that same dome!" Kylie took some random photos. "Here's the scoop, Princess Shroob's gonna be arriving here any minute now!"

"What?!" Yoshi, Mallow and Pit asked surprised (Chris already knew this part so he wasn't all that hyped up).

Then we see Luigi running from the Shroob, who was being chased by both babies who were one above the other with a hammer ready to smack down the Shroob.

"Yeah, there's gonna be a big to-do celebrating the conquer of the Mushroom Kingdom! And that's just the fries, boys. Here's the burger! Some other princess type's coming too! My sources indicate this other damsel likes pink, and she MAY be royalty of some sort." Kylie said taking random snapshots.

"The other princess should be then..." Pit wondered.

"Peach! Princess Peach!" Mario said.

In the background, the babies blasted off the Shroob by spinning, using their hammer, however, Luigi was seen being hit because he was walking backwards without looking back to the babies, the green plumber also got hit and blasted off the place as the babies went after him while the others giggled happily.

Kylie took out her notepad and began to write down. "What? Princess Peach? The doll they're bringing here is Princess Peach? Princess Peach came here and got pinched by Princess Shroob?"

"Well...that's about it." Fox said.

Kylie jumped. "I gotta get this straight. You're snooping about trying to the adult rescue Princess Peach?"

"And the Subspace Army as well." Pit said.

"...Sounds like balloon juice to me, fellas...but what a scoop it'd be if you're on the level!" Kylie said giggling a little.

"(Please, somebody shut her up already.)" Wolf thought annoyed.

"But...how can we enter the dome if we get stormed out by the Shroobs?" Mallow asked.

"Alrighty then! You need to get into the dome so you can nab the princess, right? Well, word on the street is, there's suppose to be a secret entrance around here...word on the street ain't specific, though so I dunno about its whereabouts. You're not getting in through here, regardless, so you gotta find that secret entrance." Kylie said.

"Hey, bunch of idiots," Wolf called out. "Why'd we open the door when we just can double-jump to those windows of over there?" Wolf pointed to the windows above the main door of the dome and they sweatdropped at this.

"...Why didn't we think of that before?" Shiek asked confused.

"Beats me." B. Wolf said from the babies's place, returning to giggle at the event.

"I...can't double-jump, Master Hand took out my abilities when I left the mansion." Mario said blushing a little.

"Oh, OK then!" Kylie ran above her feet. "It's not trouble for you to get inside anymore! Alrighty! I'll see ya inside to see what are those fellas doing in there, this IS going to become the biggest scoop EVAH!" And Kylie quickly hid in her shell, spun on the sand and buried herself in the sand.

"...A rather scatterbrained friend..." Shiek said rubbing her chin.

"Anyway, we should jump to the windows and enter inside." Mario said.

"Babies! C'mere!" Mallow called out and all the babies walked to them. "...Wait, where's Luigi?"

"Oooooooooohhhhhhh..." Luigi just came spinning down the air and buried his face on the sand as the babies giggled happily at this, the adults, however, were puzzled about what was Luigi doing in the sky.

"I refrain from asking what was this...weirdo doing up there." Wolf said annoyed smacking his forehead as B. Wolf jumped to his back.

So, the group decided to double-jump to the windows (Chris told Lucario to take both brother above, and Lucario had to listen to him in order to be pardoned), however, Chris stopped Fox from jumping while his baby was behind his back.

"Hold on, you're not double-jumping there, are you?" Chris asked.

"Of course I will, I mean, how can I reach that place?" Fox asked.

"No, at the second jump, you're going to flip several times in the air, and what will happen to your baby? Puke, that's what he is going to do, and on you."

"Please, that is not going to happen."

Koopa Dome

Koopa Dome

Fox just came out from the bathroom inside the dome, looking annoyed to Chris.

"Eww..." Pit said backing away from him as B. Fox had a relieved face.

"Told you, he was going to puke on you." Chris said.

"S-shut up and let's move on!" Fox said walking further inside the dome.

The group walked around the dome, there were various golden statues of koopas around, a long red carpet covered the whole floor, the roof was green as a normal koopa shell and they examined everything.

"Please Chris, let me carry him again." Lucario asked again.

"I'm not going to let you anymore, you, Lucario, should be ashamed for growling at the babies! What the hell were you thinking?" Chris asked with a glare.

"I-I'm sorry...I was just furious because you were going to die there an-"

"And growling to practically everything that moved was also necessary?" Chris added, angry.

"N-no!... Please...let me apologize to them."

"Riiiii..." B. Riolu growled at him.

"You heard him Lucario, he doesn't want you to come closer to them, look! Even my baby self doesn't want to see you that he hid his face on his mantel again!... And he's trembling too..." Chris looked down to his baby self who was whimpering in fear.

"...Sorry..." Lucario whispered closing his eyes.

"..." B. Chris didn't respond and Chris gave something to Lucario.

"...What is this?"

"Guess it, a chill pill, Meta Knight gave it to me to control you unnecessary anger."

Lucario glared at him. "I'm not angry Chris!!!"

"...See you later..." Chris said closing his eyes in annoyance and walked away with the babies as Lucario gasped at this, realizing what he has just done.

"..." Lucario swallowed the pill and continued to walk ahead.

B. Riolu looked to his reflection along with B. Chris on a golden statue and he began to remember what happened when he and B. Chris first slept together...

Flashback

The Hands Daycare Center
Babies's Room

Final Fantasy lX - Loss of Me

"Huh? Huh?" B. Chris looked around the bed and tried to find B. Riolu who just snuck below it and below him too, then, B. Riolu appeared from the other side from where the baby was looking.

"Riiiii!" B. Riolu said happily before hiding again, B. Chris quickly turned his head where he was but disappeared.

"Huh?"

"Riiiii!" B. Riolu appeared from the other side before hiding yet again as B. Chris turned his head to find him, but couldn't.

"...Huh?"

A moment of silence came by and when B. Chris turned his head, B. Riolu was on the other side and quickly licked his face with his small tongue, the new baby giggled a lot at this as B. Riolu kept licking his face happily. "Riiiii! Riiiii! Riiiii!"

"Heheheheh! Heheheheheh! Heheheheh!" B. Chris giggled happily as B. Riolu kept licking him non-stop.

The next morning...

B. Riolu was sleeping very close to B. Chris, all the babies who slept in the very same room tried to get near B. Chris, but B. Riolu sensed them even if he was sleeping and growled at them silently, the babies really wanted to play with B. Chris so much but they decided to play outside.

"Riiii... Riiiii..." B. Riolu said as he was sleeping.

Playground

"Ri ri ri riiiii!" B. Riolu showed the playground to B. Chris who was on his arms, the new baby looked around amazed and moved his hands around as he giggled, all the babies looked at him but looked away once B. Riolu glared at them. "Ri ri rii." B. Riolu walked to his favorite spot, the same tree where he once leaned into below the tree's shade, he sat and leaned to the tree, putting B. Chris to his side who had a happy expression on his face.

"...Hmmmmm..." B. Chris stomach grumbled and B. Riolu looked at him, he was thristy and wanted something to drink.

"Ri ri ri?" Riolu suggested.

"Hmm!" B. Chris somehow managed to understand B. Riolu's speech (or simply just guessed it) and nodded clapping his hands, B. Riolu's tail wagged a little and he went inside the house, directly to the kitchen to get fresh milk to B. Chris, the latter baby looked around the playground where the other babies looked at him once B. Riolu was gone.

"Hey! Chris alone! Riolu not here anymore!" B. Link said.

"See him!" B. Roy suggested as some of the babies walked to B. Chris.

"Huh?" B. Chris tilted his head.

"Hi! I'm Karbi!" B. Kirby said moving his hands.

"Heheheh!" B. Chris giggled at Kirby's name pronunciation.

"Me! Me! I'm Fox! Nice to meet you!" B. Fox said smiling to B. Chris, but it seemed that B. Chris was interested in something about them that he pointed at Wolf's tail.

"Me?" B. Wolf asked.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

"This?" B. Wolf grabbed his tail. "Oh, my tail, very fluffy and cute, do you want to touch?"

"Uh-huh! Ahaha!" B. Chris said nodding happily and B. Wolf walked closer to him and moved his tail to his face. "Heheheheheh!"

"Cute? Fluffy you say?"

"A-ha!"

"T-thanks!"

"N-no fair! I have fluffy tail too!" B. Fox said walking to B. Chris and moving his tail in front of him.

"Do you want to play with my boomerang?" B. Link asked taking out a small boomerang, which got B. Chris's attention.

"Aaahh!" B. Chris took the small boomerang and looked at it with happyness.

"You want to play something?" B. Roy asked and B. Chris's eyes glittered with glee as he blinked.

5 minutes later...

"Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck..." B. Roy was running around touching slightly everyone's heads trying to choose someone to play against him, the babies were sitting around a circle close to the tree since B. Chris haven't learned yet how to walk around by his own, the babies were impacient as B. Roy decided who to choose.

"Heheheh! Hahahaha!" B. Chris giggled happily as he saw B. Roy running around.

"C'mon Roy! Choose now!" B. Ike said impaciently.

A very happy atmosphere was around the field, in fact, all the babies were playing the game, nothing could ruin this wonderful moment...

"...Riiiii..." B. Riolu growled angrily and silently, holding a baby bottle with milk inside for B. Chris, the Emanation Pokémon started to fill up with rage as he saw ALL the babies playing with the person he was trying to get away from them.

They? Of all people and not me? Playing at my back with the person I tried so hard to protect since yesterday? How can they be so stupid and dare to do that?... They deserve to die... At least that was what B. Riolu thought.

The babies didn't pay any attention to the furious baby behind them as B. Roy finally decided to choose his person to play against...

Unfortunately, he wanted to play against B. Meta Knight, but since he was so close to B. Chris, B. Roy missed him and touched B. Chris a little harder, yelling out: "You're it!"

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!"

Every baby's eyes widened in shock after hearing that yell of pure hatred, they all turned towards the door of the house where B. Riolu dropped the baby bottle and panted heavily, glaring at them as his hands were covered with his aura.

"...RUN!" B. Zelda yelled out as the babies got up and ran around the playground in panic, however, B. Roy looked to B. Chris and then back at the baby Pokémon who was slowly walking to him.

"H-huh?! W-what are you doing?! D-d-d-d-d-don't hurt me again! P-please!" B. Roy said backing away behind the tree where B. Riolu cornered him, B. Chris tried to look behind the tree.

And of all the yells from the babies, B. Roy's yells and pleas for help were the loudest ones that B. Chris could hear behind the tree...

"UUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!"

Koopa Dome

Koopa Dome

End of flashback

"...Ri." B. Riolu closed his eyes, trying to prevent his tears from coming out, but B. Chris rubbed his head slowly, making B. Riolu's tail wag a little as he giggled a little.

"Hey, there are some lights coming out from those windows..." Pit said poiting at the windows that were on the walls flashing constantly, they could even heard many voices roraring loudly.

"And here you are!" Kylie said appearing from the left side, taking snapshots of them.

"What the-how did you get here so fast?" Mallow asked.

"Is that important to ask fella? The Shroobs are just behind these walls! C'mon! Take a look at this!" Kylie looked through the windows and they all decided to look to the other side, where a group of gasps came from most of them.

Center of the Koopa Dome

"What?" Yoshi said surprised.

"T-there's too many of them!" Mario added.

The whole dome was filled with Shroobs from the top to the bottom, except for the small arena that was located on the center, a huge shadow came above the dome and all of them saw a big saucer ship with the Shroob's face on it, from the center of the saucer, the hatch opened and somebody descended to the arena, they all tried to take closer looks and finally saw the person clearly...

"It's that...Peach?" Luigi asked trembling a little.

"N-no, it's another person..." Chris said trembling with the babies.

"She looks like Peach but..." Shiek trailed off thinking.

"Oh, c'mon! Gimme a break! That's Princess Shroob! The very same ruler of the Shroobs!" Kylie said taking snapshots of the dome.

"She looks very happy with that evil expression of hers." Pit said.

"#(%=&%/$%=%$#(=)%$=)&($/=!!!" Princess Shroob said with a microphone she got from a Shroob and all the crowd cheered loudly at this. "=&%$/&=(&$%)/%)"=)!)=!#$=(#"(&%=!!!" She held out her clawed hand to the mothership saucer and they all saw Peach going down with a rope attached to her hands and waist.

[DededeCloneChris]

"P-PEACH!" Mario and Luigi yelled after Peach was being descended to a pipe, all of them looked down to find Petey Piranha jumping to Peach, trying to swallow her.

"Oh, look! It's Olimar's friend!" Mallow said smiling.

"...His friend who eats his Pikmins actually..." Fox said.

"&%)/$)$)#(&(#($)&%==)?!" Princess Shroob asked the crowd, pointing her mic to them.

"()($)&%()&$()&!!!" The Shroobs yelled.

"$/=(&=$%&)=&)(%=!!!" The Shroobs yelled again.

"$)&$%&)$)=&=(!!!" The Shroobs yelled once more with more enthusiasm.

"=%)#&%($#&=$&=)(&)/%#($"=!!!" Princess Shroob snapped her claws and Peach was dropped inside Petey's mouth, where the creature swallowed her whole and the Smashers gasped at this as Petey wen away inside the pipe, while the Shroobs laughed in unison at this.

Bakc with the Smashers, they all looked to each other. "We have to rescue Peach and fast!" Mario said determined with B. Mario who nodded.

"Oh, well, let me tell Kylie and those Shroobs that look like they're kidnapping her that we're going to rescue Peach, hey Kylie, we're going to rescue Peach, you'll get your big scoop no matter wh-" Mallow was interrupted.

"MALLOW!" Most of the Smasher yelled as Kylie struggled to get free, however, the Shroobs rushed further inside, escaping from them.

"W-wait!" Luigi said before Pit stopped him.

"She'll be fine, we should save Peach and engage the Shroobs, then look for the next Star Spirit." Pit said.

"Whatever thing that keeps me away from that hyperactive media reporter is fine by me, I'd say kill those bastards until there's nothing left of them." Wolf said taking out his Blaster together with his baby self.

"Yeah!" B. Wolf said.

"B-but we should find a way to get further inside...." Chris said before B. Chris pointed at a pink door that leaded to the Shroobs's crowd. "...We sitll need to find a way to snea-"

"Uuuuuhh.....uuhhhhhh..." B. Chris's eyes got teary and B. Riolu growled at Chris.

"P-please! You have to understand tha-"

"UUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" B. Chris broke into tears and everyone covered their ears, except for B. Riolu who apparently tried to punch Chris.

"O-okay! Fine! We'll enter and storm inside! But please, calm down!!!"

"Heheheh!" B. Chris giggled happily as they sweatdropped at this, as B. Riolu licked B. Chris's cheek with care.

"...Seriously, these babies know how to manipulate us." Meta Knight said.

"So," Fox took out his Blaster together with his baby self. "Are we ready to begin?"

All of them positioned in front of the door (Luigi refused at first, but the babies carried him back to them) and prepared to burst out the celebration. "At the count of 3, 3... 2-" Yoshi was interrupted.

"UUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" B. Zelda cried out loud.

"F-fine! GO!" Yoshi yelled loudly as everyone yelled in unison and prepared to take down the door to attack the Shroobs...

Back with the Shroobs...

CRASH!

"&$(&%)&/#$()$?" A Shroob asked confused after he saw dust coming below the door.

"=%$&(=&$#=." Another Shroob said shrugging a little before they returned to cheer loudly.

Back with the Smashers, it wasn't a great idea to slam themselves into the door, because all of them crashed into the hard wooden door and fell on their butts.

"I told you Chris," Lucario said walking to them and looked down to Chris with crossed arms. "This door isn't that easy to take down."

"Y-you didn't say that befo-aw, screw it with slams to doors! Lucario! Use Aura Sphere!"

"...Fine."

Back with the Shroobs...

The door exploded and everyone on the dome looked at the cloud of smoke covering the most portion of the dome, they all heard footsteps running towards the arena and all the Smashers jumped out from the smoke and took fighting stances at Princess Shroob who was really confused at this (we see Luigi missing the jump a little and jumped all the way to the other side of the seats, where he crashed into some Shroobs as B. Luigi giggled at this while Luigi struggled out and fell to the arena, just above a Shroom that apparently died by Luigi's weight).

"...$)#=&($)#%=$#?" Princess Shroob asked confused before Zelda (who changed to her normal self since she thought that it would be a bad idea to present herself to the crowd as Shiek) pointed at her face.

"You, set Peach free, right this instant." Zelda demanded as the Shroobs gasped at this.

"=$%($#)&#&%)$%#=)?" Princess Shroob asked smirking.

"It doesn't matter, set her free because she doesn't deserve to be eaten by a plant."

"$#(=&(#$(%=$&$%/=$#)" Princess Shroob shook her head chuckling evily.

"...Can Zelda understand Shroobinish?" Mario asked with a new word he came up with to Meta Knight.

"Who cares." Meta Knight said.

"$(=#($=%$#)&%)%()&($))$!!!" Princess Shroob raised her claws to the crowd and the Shroob seemed to protest at this. "=)$#(%!=#$((%"=&($)!!!" Princess Shroob ordered an evolved Shroob with a big yellow lollipop came from above on a chain and stomped the floor once it roared at them.

"Yuck, another disgusting creature." Pit said disgusted before they saw Ganondorf and Dark Bowyer walking out a dark portal besides Princess Shroob, who smiled evily as they stood by her side.

"It seems you all are so persistent in getting in our way," Ganondorf made a fist. "Zelda, you will hand over the Triforce of Wisdom, that will be finally mine!"

"Typical villain's goal, that's an overused cliché, don't you think?" Mallow asked.

"Cloudy, shut up, nya!" Dark Bowyer said angrily.

"Never." Zelda said glaring at him.

"A-and give us B. Ganondorf...who is very ugly..." Yoshi said muttering the last part.

"Oh, sorry, I cannot do that...even if I hate him..." Ganondorf said muttering the last part embarrassed.

"G-give us the Star Spirit, you!" Chris said pointing to Dark Bowyer, who merely chuckled at this, snapping his fingers to call Shadow Bugs to take over the Shrooboid Brat (the name of the creature with the big lollipop), the Shrooboid Brat became possesed by the Shadow Bugs in a matter of seconds and it roared furiously, turning into Dark Shrooboid Brat (who we will call DSB). "...Oh, great..."

"&$#(=)&%$="%$#%(=$#&%=)=$&($#=!!!" Princess Shroob ordered and DSB roared loudly as Ganondorf and Dark Bowyer disappeared into the dark portal.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Cackletta Theme

"H-here comes another monster!" Mallow said as DSB roared before shooting his lollipop to him, breaking apart upon making contact with Mallow. "O-oww!"

"Me!" B. Mallow said worried.

"I-I'm fine, but that brat is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy gonna get it! SHOCKER!"

SHOCK-

"Wh-what the?!" Mallow saw DSB taking out quickly another lollipop from its mouth and blocked the thunder stone from impacting into him using same lollipop before throwing the attack back to Mallow in a rapid hit. "AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Mallow let B. Mallow go before he crashed into the wall, falling to the floor and wiping out the dust in his face as his baby self rejoined him. "I-it's...strong." Mallow said weakly.

"RAH! RAH! RAH!" The Shroobs all lifted many signs with many golden "Zs" on them and a Fire Flower was thrown to DSB, who used it quickly on Zelda, burning her alive in a stream of fire with her baby self.

"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Zelda and B. Zelda yelled in pain.

"Z-ZELDA! Alright, that's it! Tokunaga!" Chris slammed Tokunaga in the arena and it grew up. "Surge Breaker!" Tokunaga called a lightning that crashed into DSB, who got staggered as Tokunaga punched it away with a charged punch, saving both princesses in time. "Everyone! It's just only a weaker monster, attack it! O twisted door of distortion, open wide!"

"Right!" Pit said running to DSB and started to deal a combo of slashes from his dual blades continuously, but the creature didn't seemed to stagger and pushed Pit out of the way using its lollipop. "U-UGH!" Pit managed to stay on his feet and glared at DSB. "B-be careful...that rod that it uses is very hard..."

"RAH! RAH! RAH!" All the Shroobs held up green "Ls" and threw an Ice Flower to dSB, who used it instantly on Luigi, who became frozen with his baby self.

"H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-help m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-me..." Luigi called out from the ice cube, chaterring his teeth.

"RAH! RAH! RAH!" The Shroobs this time held up light-blue "Cs" and threw a Green Shell to DSB, using it instantly on Chris, kicking back and forth the shell on him.

"O-O-O-O-OWW!!!" Chris yelled in pain as he wasn't able to escape from the attack, the babies tried to do something but just couldn't do it.

"GUUUUARGH!" Lucario came from Chris's side and kicked the shell back to the DSB's mouth, shutting it for a moment. "Are you alright, Chris?"

"...I'm fine..."

Lucario blinked confused. "T-that didn't make you to apologize to me?"

"W-what the-Lucario! Did you save us just to get your apology?!"

Lucario gasped. "N-NO!"

"You're so low Lucario!" Chris said angrily before running away to another side of the filed to cast Negative Gate as Lucario looked down, ashamed.

"RAH! RAH! RAH!" The Shroobs held up many dark-blue "Ws" and threw a Red Shell to DSB, using it instantly on Wolf who got severly injured by the attacks in a quick succession.

"U-U-U-UGH!" Wolf tried to get away but the attack made him to stagger, preventing him from escaping.

"N-no!" B. Wolf jumped in front of him and used his Reflector to return the attack to DSB, attacking him continuously without moving. "...Ugh..."

"Heh, good work, now, keep him busy!" Wolf said grinning as he prepared his claws to dig into DSB's skin, but just before he could do so, Shroobs from the crowd jumped out, twirled about their feet and shot Wolf down with their laser balls. "UGH!"

"Somebody keep them busy!" B. Meta Knight yelled.

"That would be us." Meta Knight said using Drill Rush to push the Shroobs away from attacking Wolf.

DSB roared furiously and kicked the Red Shell away from it, throwing his lollipops at the group non-stop.

"LOOK OUT!" Chris yelled, stopping from casting his spell and jumping above a lollipop. "Somebody protect me while I'm casting!"

"Alright." Fox said stepping in front of Chris using his Reflector to return the lollipops back to DSB, who ate them to recover his health a little.

"Feel the hammer of light!" Chris casted spinning his staff with one hand as B. Riolu took B. Chris to a safe spot. "Limited!"

A holy glyph appeared above DSB and it shot down a strong light, impacting into it.

"The crowd here hates us with passion!" Zelda said as the Shroobs raised even more signs.

"W-what do they have now?" Mallow asked.

The Shroobs had many yellow "Ms" and they threw a Pocket Chomp, the monster held up the item and a Chain Chomp appeared, who started to chase Mallow around the arena. "U-UAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" B. Mallow cried as Mallow hurried to get away from the unchained dog.

"Baby!" B. Mario held up a Fire Flower, making Mario, Luigi and B. Luigi with himself to get fireballs on their hands.

"Shoot!" Mario yelled firing a barrage of fireaball into DSB, the monster used its lollipop to block off the attacks.

"NOW, YOSHI!" Luigi yelled as Yoshi jumped from behind DSB, shot his tongue at it and swallowed him whole, where Yoshi started to chomp him down.

"BLUA!" Yoshi spat out DSB disgusted. "T-that thing doesn't taste so good..."

HIT! HIT! HIT!

"AAAH!" Yoshi was hit multiple times by a furious DSB who complained to him as he smacked its lollipop continuously on Yoshi before throwing him to the wall wtih fury. "H-help..." Yoshi moaned as he fell to the arena.

"Negative Gate!" Chris was able to finish his spell and created a portal of darkness on DSB, who staggered and yelled out in pain. "Attack it while it's being hit!"

"Ha!" Zelda used Din's Fire together with B. Zelda to explode lights of fire on the Shroob's ally, then the crowd began to raise many red "Ms" and threw another Pocket Chomp, who instantly turned into another Chain Chomp (with a pink bow above it) and chased Mario and B. Mario around.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Mario ran in circles in the arena, joining up with Mallow and B. Mallow, who yelled as both Chain Chomps chased them around.

"M-MARIO!" Luigi yelled worried before DSB ran to him, smacked Luigi down several times with its lollipop and threw him away to the ground, where his face skidded along the floor in pain. "...O-Ooowww..."

"Baby Luigi!" B. Luigi said worried and tried to get Luigi up, struggling a little.

"Over Limit gauge filled!" Professor Kawashima announced.

Chris gulped once he saw DSB focusing its eyes on him. "M-META KNIGHT! USE IT!" Chris said screaming as DSB ran after him, Chris waited for Lucario to act, but the Aura Pokémon was still ashamed, looking down the floor. "LUCARIOOOOOO!!!"

"..." Lucario didn't want to listen and continued to look down with sadness at the worst moment.

"Hmph." Meta Knight called out simply doing a small swing with Galaxia and pointed it to DSB as a rainbow aura exploded in him, B. Meta Knight saw with awe as Meta Knight flew to DSB and hit it with his cape a little.

"W-what is happening?!" Luigi asked panicking as the lights of the dome turned off suddenly, everyone looked around the darkness before they heard Meta Knight, his voice echoing.

"Know my power..."

...

SLASH!!!

A long, fast and deadly slash sliced down the darkness, dealing a mortal hit on DSB, who seemed to be out of cold before it collapsed, not only that, both Chain Chomps were sliced down in halfs and they disappeared, along with the Shroobs who were about to jump down and fight, DSB roared out in extreme pain before it began to shine brightly, then, it exploded into rainbow stars as Meta Knight sheathed his sword.

"Never...underestimate me..." Meta Knight said rather coldly as the aura on him disappeared.

Music stops

"...My goodness..." Zelda said surprised.

"H-he sliced down all the enemies in a blinding speed that I couldn't even see clearly!" Pit said amazed.

"Duh, he turned off the lights." Mallow said rolling his eyes with B. Mallow.

"Alright, Princess Shroob, hand over Peach!" Mario said pointing at Princess Shroob, who only laughed evily as Shroobs began to surround the group. "...Something is wrong here..."

All the Shroobs suddenly took out hammers and slammed them into the floor where they were standing, it provoked an earthquake and a huge hole was created under their feet.

"...Ha! We can still escape by jumping!" Yoshi said grinning as he tried to jump over the abyss, however, the group tried to jump, but they couldn't do it properly. "U-ugh! W-what's wrong?! Why can't we jump?!"

"Surprise, surprise, nya!" Dark Bowyer appeared from the portal and they glared at him. "Cancelled button function to jump I did, nya! Special powers of mine, nya nya nya!"

"Button function to jump?" Zelda repeated confused as Bowyer took out 4 panels with the "A," B," Y," and "X" from his back, the "A" was in a black color than the other ones that were white, making Mario and Mallow to gasp at this.

"W-wait! He used that kind of magic like that time, right Mario?" Mallow asked.

"Y-yes he did, but I wonder why he can do that." Mario said.

"So, let me get this straight, that "A" button was canceled and affected us in some way, meaning we can't jump, correct?" Fox asked.

Chris sweatdropped in shame. "Correct."

"...Aw, fu-" Fox wasn't able to finish his curse before all of them with their babies fell in the hole, screaming and crying loudly as we see all the Shroobs laughing evily at this, then the screen goes inside the long hole before the darkness covers it completly...

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Lucario said falling into the ground as he began to cry silently. "I-I tried everything to apologize to them...and...I can't...do it..."

...

"Nya nya nya!" Dark Bowyer laughed evily. "End this, I will! Here, your journey ends, idiots! Nya nya nya nya!"

Petey roared agreeding with him.

"...Lucario...we...need you...forgive us..."

"...Chris...I...should be the one...apologizing..."

Chapter 95: Baby tears and good byes

Flashback

The Hands Daycare Center
Infirmary

"Now, now B. Roy... B. Riolu is locked up in the room, he won't hurt you anymore," Master Hand said giving B. Roy, who was sitting on a high bed, a lollipop, the small redhead swordsman took it and whimpered a little. "Hey... I know what it's going to cheer you up...or to be more precise, who."

Crazy Hand came from the door carrying B. Chris, who was happy to see B. Roy. "Aaaaaaaaaand here you go," Crazy Hand put B. Chris close to B. Roy, the new baby tilted his head worried as B. Roy sobbed silently. "Another job done by great me!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Heheh!" B. Chris giggled and B. Roy looked at him, clearing his tears.

"P-please...no Riolu..." B. Roy pleaded shuddering.

"Let's leave them alone for a while," Master Hand said leaving the room, before Crazy Hand left with him, but by breaking down the wall. "...And let's see if we can find a way to cure your unnecessary but stupid crazyness..."

"Hmm?" B. Chris tilted his head again.

"He bad..." B. Roy showed him his hand, it was bleeding a little. "H-he...he bit me...uhhh..."

"...Hmm..." B. Chris got a worried look and noticed that B. Roy was about to cry loudly by his injure, the new baby hummed to get B. Roy's attention and he looked at him.

"Y-yes?"

"Hmm, hmm hmm hmm!"

"Y-you going to talk to him?"

"Hmm!" B. Chris nodded smiling a little.

"N-no! H-he hurt me again!"

"Nuh-uh!" B. Chris shook his head, trying to reassure B. Roy.

"...You promise?"

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Heheheh!" B. Chris nodded happily as he giggled.

"...P-please...no more..." B. Roy said closing his eyes scared.

"...Riiiiiiiii..."

"H-Huh?!" B. Roy noticed a shadow approaching to the infirmary below the door, it was B. Riolu, who was apparently hungry for more "revenge" and looked around for B. Roy, the small swordsman began to panic and looked around for something to hide. "N-no! P-please! H-help me!" B. Roy pleaded to B. Chris, who looked around for a hiding spot.

"...Hmm!" B. Chris pointed to a rather big door where medicines were kept.

"Y-yes!" B. Roy jumped out from the bed and ran inside the medicine's door, where he hid behind and hugged his legs to avoid making noise.

"Riiiiiii..." B. Riolu entered inside the infirmary, growling as he looked around the place.

"Heheheheheh!" B. Chris giggled happily, but B. Riolu wasn't focused on him and searched the room carefully. "...Huh?"

"Riiiiiiiiiii..." B. Riolu growled deeply, walking slowly around the place as B. Roy hid his face behind his legs in the darkness of the backside of the door. "...Riiii..."

"(H-huh?! H-he found me?!)" B. Roy thought scared as he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"...RiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIII!!!" B. Riolu glared at the door that B. Roy was using to hide from him, the baby Pokémon slowly reached the handle and prepared to open it with all his forces and leap to B. Roy.

However...

"UUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Ri? Ri ri ri?" B. Riolu snapped out of his rage and looked back to B. Chris, who began to cry loudly and moved around the bed, B. Riolu began to sweat and went to him by jumping to the bed, taking him above his arms and jumped down, the Emanation Pokémon looked at his face and licked his tears. "Riiiiii..."

"...Hmm..." B. Chris sobbed silently as B. Riolu wagged his tail.

"Riiiii!" B. Riolu got very happy and walked out from the infirmary with B. Chris on his arms, then, B. Roy came out from the door and sighed in relief.

"...T-thank you..." B. Roy said blinking surprised.

That night...

Babies Room

"Riii! Riii! Riii!" B. Riolu continued to lick B. Chris's face during the night, all the babies sleeping there wanted him to stop, but if they ever dared to stop him, they'll only get hurt severly so they tried to tolerate his "Riii!"

Although B. Chris was just pushed back and didn't even giggle at B. Riolu, the baby Pokémon stopped licking him and looked at him.

"Ri?" B. Riolu asked.

"Hmph." B. Chris stared at him with an angry look.

"Ri ri ri..."

"Nuh-uh!"

"...Riiii..." B. Riolu looked at the babies, who quickly covered their faces in fear below their bed sheets. "....Riii..." B. Riolu growled at them before B. Chris slightly slapped his face. "Ri!"

"Hmm! Hm, hm, hm ,hmm!" B. Chris said angrily.

"...Ri ri ri ri riii!" B. Riolu defended himself.

"Hmm! Hmph!" B. Chris turned his head to another way but B. Riolu tried to apologize to him.

"Riiii! Riiii! Riiii!"

Apparently, B. Chris was mad at B. Riolu for hurting all the babies the previous occasions, and even when he bit B. Roy in the hand that day, B. Riolu said that he was trying to protect B. Chris from those "insensitive" jerks with parents.

"Hmm! Hmm!!!" B. Chris said angrily and B. Riolu gasped.

"R-ri!" B. Riolu's eyes widened, he didn't realize B. Chris had parents all along and looked down in shame. "...Riii..." B. Riolu covered his eyes with his small hands and began to sob silently.

"...Hmph..." B. Chris decided to sleep and see if B. Riolu could get to a conclusion of this problem by tomorrow morning.

Gritzy Caverns
Below the Koopa Dome

Area: The Cave

"Uuhhh...uhhh..." B. Chris was about to cry after they fell through the hole, but B. Riolu licked his face for all the time to calm him down.

"...We're...fine...huh?" Lucario was the first one to woke up from his unconscious state, he was very distracted during the fight that he wasn't able to avoid the fall, he looked to all the Smashers who were unconscious, except for the babies who managed to avoid the fall by their adult selves's backs. "...Babies?"

"Riii..." B. Riolu growled at Lucario who stood up and walked slowly to them. "Riiii."

"L-look, I want to apologize...it wasn't necessary to scare you in that fight...please..." Lucario kneeled to them. "...Forgive me...I promise that won't happen again..."

"...Riii..." B. Riolu looked to B. Chris, who hid his face in his mantel. "Ri ri ri, ri!"

"N-no!" Lucario looked at them with a shocked face.

"Ri ri ri ri ri, ri ri ri, ri!" B. Riolu said angrily, turning his back on him.

"I don't understand anything..." B. Meta Knight said as the babies walked to B. Riolu and B. Chris.

"Me neither." B. Zelda said.

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Lucario said falling into the ground as he began to cry silently. "I-I tried everything to apologize to them...and...I can't...do it..."

"Look! Big doggy crying!" B. Mallow said pointing at Lucario who buried his face in his arms, sobbing.

"I'm...sad..." B. Fox said looking down.

"I feel sorry for Lucario...but he big meanie to us!" B. Wolf said.

"B-but Lucario wants to be forgived..." B. Pit said.

B. Chris heard Lucario's sobs and the baby uncovered his face and looked to the Aura Pokémon, his eyes got a sad expression...

...But wait!

W-what are those...curious...things on Lucario?

Those...those...those....

...Those...those pink spots on his feet...they look like they're begging to be rubbed and tickled...

"...Riiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" B. Chris said blinking surprised after he looked at Lucario's feet or more specifically, the pink spots on them. "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!" B. Chris pointed at Lucario's feet and the babies looked at them.

"...Look! Pink spots!" B. Pit said blinking in surprise, Lucario wasn't able to hear them talking since he was still crying on his arms.

"You know what am I thinking?" B. Meta Knight asked moving his gloved hands a little.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Smile - Marta

"TICKLE TIME! HEHEHEHEHEH!!!" All the babies said giggling, moving their hands and fingers in unison as they all leaped to Lucario's feet and started to tickle his pink spots.

"...Uhhh...uhhh...uh...ha...haha...hahahaha..." Lucario started to laugh silently as the babies giggled and tickled his feet. "...Hahahahahaha....hahahahahah, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! S-STOP! IT TICKLES ME! P-PLEASE! STOP! I CAN'T LET THE OTHERS SEE M-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"...Who the hell...is making all that noise..." Wolf asked grunting as he opened his eyes and looked to the babies on Lucario's feet, tickling them non-stop as Lucario cried out with tears and slammed his fists in the ground (making long cracks on it thanks to his brute force). "...What?"

"...Shut up...let me sleep...mhmhmhmh..." Mallow groaned before he slowly opened his eyes, seeing the babies tickling Lucario, he rubbed his eyes and blinked in surprise. "B-babies!"

"Baby Luigi! Baby! Yeah!" B. Luigi said giggling as he continued to tickle Lucario's feet.

"Who's...laughing that loud?" Mario asked grogily, rising his head a little to see the babies tickling Lucario's feet. "...What?"

"Exactly." Wolf said nodding.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"...It's that Lucario...laughing?" Chris asked shaking his head before looking at his own Pokémon laughing like never before. "...Um...what is wrong with you?"

"T-THE BABIES!!! T-THEY...HELP ME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Lucario pleaded for mercy.

"...Oh...god..." Chris couldn't help it but he chuckled at this.

"P-PLEASE! HELP ME! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"...But why should I?"

"W-WHAT?! N-NO!"

"This could be the perfect punishment for making the babies cry for your useless anger! Hahahaha!" Chris said standing up with his hands on his hips.

"...You, my friend, have very necessary and funny punishments." Mallow said winking at Chris as he stood up.

It was no longer before the rest woke up by Lucario's laughs, once they saw him laughing out loud and tears were literally strolling down his eyes, the cracks on the ground by his fists were also part of the loudest sounds that make them wake up.

"This is...amusing..." Zelda said amused at this event, all the adults were standing around Lucario as the babies continued to tickle his feet.

"Lucario was the last person to laugh for me." Meta Knight said.

"Really? I think you were." Chris said chuckling a little.

"...Shouldn't we do something to help Lucario?" Luigi asked.

"Oh, please! This scene is pure gold!" Mallow said chuckling.

"Though he deserved this...punishment for what he did." Mario said.

"Alright guys, we had our moment to enjoy, now, let's do something about this." Fox said crossing his arms.

"You're no fun, you guys are no fun at all." Yoshi said a little ashamed.

"Ba-bies!" Luigi called out and the babies looked at the adults, many happy yells were heard as every baby reunited with their adult self, except for B. Riolu who carried B. Chris to Chris.

"Finally...they stopped..." Lucario said panting heavily as she stood up, looking down the cracks he made in the ground. "...I'm very embarrassed now..."

"And has to be the perfect apology I've seen before!" Chris said smiling to Lucario.

"...Wait, that was my punishment?!"

"The babies are perfect persons to choose appropiate punshiments, right baby me?"

"Ri!" B. Chris said nodding happily as Lucario gasped at this and looked down to him.

"Y-you're not scared of me anymore?"

"Hmm!" B. Chris shook his head giggling as a small tear ran down Lucario's cheek.

"...I'm..."

"So happy?" B. Zelda added asking.

"...Yes..."

"Well, everyone, do you think he already got enough?" Chris asked.

"Of course!" Yoshi and Mallow said.

"It's a shame this didn't last too long...but yes." Zelda said chuckling a little.

"The babies are very happy so I guess so." Mario said.

"I should've done something to stop them...but I was laughing." Pit said.

"Fine by me." Fox said.

"My opinion isn't all that important by now." Wolf said grinning a little.

"I must admit, he got enough." Meta Knight said.

"At least the babies had fun with it, so yes!" Luigi said as B. Luigi giggled.

"Well," Chris looked at Lucario. "I forgive you Lucario, and it seems B. Chris wants to stay with you again."

Lucario looked down to B. Riolu. "...You're not mad at me anymore?"

"Ri," B. Riolu closed his eyes with a happy expression. "Ri ri ri ri ri, ri ri ri."

"...What the-what do you mean you're not going to turn into a beast if you know how to control your anger?"

"Ri ri ri ri!" B. Riolu giggled as his tail wagged, then Lucario got surprised when B. Riolu got B. Chris closer to him. "Ri ri riiii."

"I-I can carry him again?"

"Ri!"

"...Thank you..." Lucario slowly placed B. Chris on his left arm and the baby wanted to say something to him. "...What is it?"

"Lucario! Lucario! Lucario!" B. Chris said happily as Lucario's eyes trembled a little.

"Y-you...you learned my name!"

"Lu-ca-ri-o! Lu-ca-ri-o! Lu-ca-ri-o! Heheheheh!" B. Chris repeated before Lucario pulled him closer to his face and he started to lick his face slowly. "Riiiii!!!"

"(Thank you....Lucario...)" Chris thought.

Area: The Cave

"Chris, I sense high concentrations of Shadow Bugs further inside this cave, it must be Bowyer guarding the fourth Star Spirit, there's also another Subspace Bomb close to that monster!" Kawashima said.

"Then we should move on and disable the bomb, rescue Muskular and defeat Bowyer once again!" Mallow said as B. Mallow nodded.

"But what will we do if he cancels our movements again with his weird magic?" Yoshi asked.

"It's an issue, he could cancel every move of ours whenever he wants to." Mario said.

"Yeah, special moves, jumps, basic attack, even using items!" Mallow explained.

"That could be a really pain in the as-" Wolf's mouth was blocked.

"Not in front of the babies!" Zelda said angrily as Wolf snarled below her hand.

"And the babies, don't forget them." Mario reminded them.

"W-what about Petey Pirahna? H-he could eat us completely!" Luigi said shaking.

Meta Knight started to walk ahead. "I suggest we should see and experience his attacks first before we come up with a strategy to beat Bowyer, and if things get harder, about that piranha as well." Meta Knight said.

"Umm..." B. Chris hid his face inside his mantle.

"Don't worry, I won't let those 2 lay a hand on you." Lucario said.

"Okay, it's good to see my old Lucario back, so, let's finish this before the night comes!" Chris said as everyone nodded and decided to walk further inside the cave.

"M-Mario, where do you think Peach is?" Luigi asked.

"Inside Petey's belly, we saw Petey swallowing her." Zelda said remembering.

"Oh no! If we don't hurry, Petey's stomach will digest her!" Mario said running up ahead.

"W-wait up! Who knows what's beyond!" Mallow said running.

"Exactly!"

Everyone stopped for a moment after hearing a familiar voice close to them, in a room where a pipe with sand was located. "Please, tell me she isn't here..." Wolf said frowning looking up the pipe.

"For your information, yes, she's here." Yoshi said looking up with everyone else.

High above them, there was Kylie Koopa again, but she was very angry for the fact that she was tied up, hanging above the same pipe with sand, she was struggling to get out and when she looked down below where the Smashers were looking to her, she tried even more.

"Hey! What's the big idea? Unhand me, you clods!" Kylie complained.

"Whoa, she's very mad at us this time." Mallow said as B. Mallow nodded.

"Who's mad at you? I'm not! I'm mad at those Shroobs fellas!" Kylie shook her head. "Ace timing, fellas! Boogie up here and cut me loose, will ya?! Bust me out or I'm a snack for sure!"

At that moment, Petey Pirahna sprouted out from the very same pipe roaring loudly at them, the Smashers quickly backed away from the plant who tried to swallow them completely.

"That thing is hungry for more?" B. Zelda asked.

"We need to defeat him!" Mario said.

"C'mon! We're pals, ain't we? I gave you the dirt on the secret entrance, didn't I?" Kylie asked angrily.

"Actually, Wolf kind of did..." Fox pointed out.

"B-but what about Petey?" Luigi asked.

"Save me first I say!" Kylie yelled as 2 Shroobs walked to each side of her, carrying purple axes to throw Kylie down in Petey. "Now it's your turn to be good eggs, or it's curtains for me! C'mon, hurry up!"

The babies were scared of Petey that they hid behind their adult selves back and trembled with fear.

"W-what should we do?!" Yoshi asked panicking.

"Let the girl be eaten, she's annoying." Wolf said as a record scratched.

"WOLF!" Mostly everyone yelled annoyed, then, the Shroobs sliced the rope tying Kylie to the roof and she fell right into Petey, screaming as she was swallowed inside him.

"YOOOIKS!" Kylie yelled as Petey roared at the Smashers and dug his way in the sand, disappearing in a cloud created by the sand as the Shroobs laughed at this and walked away.

"...Now what? We need to rescue Kylie too." Yoshi said looking at the sand.

"Well, w-" Chris was interrupted before all the babies (except B. Riolu and B. Chris) jumped into the sand and began to play on it. "B-babies!"

"Sand! Sand sand sand! Heheheh!" B. Pit said as he tried to build a sand castle.

"Wait, you shouldn't play there, what if the sand is quicksand?" Zelda asked.

"...Huh?" B. Mallow noticed something moving below the sand and he looked down to his feet, that were starting to enter the sand slowly. "U-UAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"I-it's quicksand! The babies are in danger!" Luigi said panicking.

"Riii!" B. Riolu jumped off from Chris's arms and he quickly ran above the sand, picking one baby at a time as he crossed the pipe, every baby was being taken out from the sand and sobbed a little before the adult self calmed him or her down, when he was done saving B. Zelda, he sighed in relief.

"Thank you!" B. Zelda said kissing him on the cheek before returning to Zelda.

"...Riii..." B. Riolu blushed a little as Chris picked him up.

"Riolu! You're the babies's hero!" Chris said raising him above.

"Ri?" B. Riolu looked at the babies behind the adults who were moving their hands up and down as they cheered to him.

"Riolu! Riolu! Riolu! Riiiii!" The babies cheered in unison imitating B. Riolu's speech.

"Riolu! Riolu! Riolu! Riiiii!" B. Chris also cheered and made B. Riolu blush in embarrassment.

"....Riiiii!!!" B. Riolu's tail wagged a lot as Chris hugged him close to his face.

"That's why I love babies..." Yoshi said sighing in relief.

"What a relief, I thought the babies were going to sink in the sand." Pit said as B. Pit nodded.

"...Riii..." B. Riolu muttered as the group decided to go further inside the cave, where he began to remember the next part of his past.

"Hmm...hmm...hmm..."

"...Ri!"

"Hmm...hmm...hmm..."

"Ri! Ri! Ri!"

"...Hmm?" B. Chris shook his head and woke up grogily, the baby turned to B. Riolu who was shaking him a little. "Huh?"

"Ri ri ri ri..."

B. Chris blinked surprised. "Huh?"

"Ri ri ri!" B. Riolu nodded.

"Ah!" B. Chris nodded happily and B. Riolu carried him in his arms to the playground.

Playground

"N-no!" B. Link said gasping, alerting the babies that B. Riolu got outside, all the babies didn't move as B. Riolu stared at them, blinking normally as he held Chris in his arms.

"Hmm!" B. Chris pointed to B. Roy, who was with B. Marth and B. Meta Knight playing in the sand box.

"P-please! Don't hurt me again!" B. Roy pleaded hiding behind B. Marth who glared at B. Riolu with B. Meta Knight as the baby Pokémon walked to them slowly.

"Get away!" B. Meta Knight said angrily.

"No fights!" B. Marth said angrily.

"...Riii..." B. Riolu looked down disappointed.

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm hmm hmm, hmm!" B. Chris said to them.

"What Chris saying?" B. DK asked.

"I dunno." B. Ike said.

"...Riii..." B. Riolu took out a red lollipop to B. Roy and looked at him as his face was still down, but his crimson eyes still looking at him. "Ri ri riiii..."

B. Roy stared at the lollipop, then he looked at B. Riolu. "T-that for me?"

"Riiii..." B. Riolu said nodding ashamed.

"Hmm... Riolu apologizing?" B. Marth asked.

"Uh-huh." B. Chris said.

"Ri ri ri ri ri riiii..." B. Riolu said closing his eyes as he hugged B. Chris in fear.

"Hmm..." B. Chris rubbed his head a little.

"..." B. Roy was still staring at the lollipop, he slowly reached the candy and took it quickly from B. Riolu. "...Riolu not mad anymore?"

"Riiiii..." B. Riolu nodded.

"A-ha! Heheheheh!" B. Chris giggled happily.

"...Hey! Riolu not angry anymore!" B. Ike said smiling a little.

"Can we play with Chris from now?" B. Kirby asked curiously.

"Riiii!" B. Riolu said nodding as his tail wagged.

"Hmm!" B. Chris pointed at B. Riolu.

"Riolu wants to be friend with us?" B. Falco asked.

"Uh-huh!" B. Chris said nodding.

002 - Putting Words Together

"Yippie! No more fights!" B. Roy said happily licking his lollipop as the babies cheered.

"We can play together again!" B. Zelda said to B. Chris who nodded giggling with her.

"Rii! Rii! Rii!" B. Riolu said wagging his tail.

"Who wants to play tag?" B. Kirby asked and every baby raised their hands cheering at this.

Master Hand's Office

"B-brother! Look!" Crazy Hand called his brother who floated to the window and looked outside in the playground. "T-the babies! They're playing with B. Riolu!"

"I can't believe it...B. Riolu opened himself to all of them..." Master Hand said trailing off. "...But why? Why did he open himself to them?"

"I dunno, but I was eavesdropping the babies as I've been doing lately and I think B. Chris had something to do with it."

"You were eavesdropping on th-" Master Hand shook himself. "Nevermind that...then B. Chris changed B. Riolu's ways?"

"Yup, look! B. Riolu has it! Oh man, B. Fox now's in trouble!" Crazy Hand said excited.

"...I think B. Chris has a special talent...the talent to make friends understand and resolve their differences with each other...that baby is going to be a very strong young man when he grows up..." Master Hand said as a faint (invisible) smile formed in him as the babies laughed, giggled and ran around the playground.

End of flashback

Below the Koopa Dome

"Riii..." B. Riolu leaned closer to Chris and decided to sleep without making any noise.

"Riolu? Riolu? Are you wake?" Chris asked but B. Riolu yawned a little before he fell asleep. "...What happened to you?"

"I think he just got tired, he hasn't taken his sleep time in a while." Zelda said before B. Zelda got tired as well and rested. "And that goes for all of them..."

"Dreamy...dreamy...huuuuuuhhh..." B. Pit's eyes slowly closed as he fell asleep on Pit's back, every single baby, except for B. Mario and B. Luigi, fell asleep.

"I don't blame them, they're just babies." Mallow said.

"So, what are you all going to do once we return the babies?" Yoshi asked. "I'm asking you this because this is the last time we'll go around carrying them, and some of you've grown fond of them."

"I'm going to miss B. Riolu," Chris said looking to B. Riolu. "I love to have Riolus close to me, but he needs to return...it's going to be sad."

"I'm gonna miss you, big me" B. Meta Knight said talking in his sleep.

"...I think I'm going to do the same thing." Meta Knight said.

"You will?"

"..." Meta Knight chuckled a little. "It was very interesting to find my baby self here in this world, but once we part ways, try to be..."

"Strong?"

"...Yes."

"And you," Zelda said looking over her shoulder to B. Zelda. "Rule Hyrule with loyalty and defend yourself from Ganondorf."

"...Yes..." B. Zelda said smiling a little.

"(And speaking of Ganondorf, I wonder what is Link doing right now...I hope he returns.)"

"I've got to say, my baby was as funny as I am right now!" Mallow said chuckling a little. "...But it's ironic that we met again, doesn't it?"

"I'm going to kill that hand..." Zelda muttered angrily because she hated Master Hand to do things behind her back, and to her.

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Fox asked. "Well...I'm happy for using my own baby self as a test to see if I'm ready to be fath-"

"No, just no, forget it." Chris said.

"W-what? Why?"

"You're pretty much good without a baby, trust me, you're not, and absolutly, NOT prepared yet to be a father."

Fox rolled his eyes. "Like I care, I'm ready."

"...Whatever," Wolf said frowning. "Heh, I, myself, didn't grow that much with this baby."

"...Huuuuhhh..." B. Wolf yawned a little.

"...But then again, he got what it takes to kill Fox's baby anytime." Wolf said grinning at Fox.

Yoshi sweatdropped at this. "...Have you ever thought before you have a creepy obsession with Fox all the time?"

"The old man is strange, leave him alone." Chris said moving his right hand.

"Strange? Me?! Kid, I'm not strange!"

"Okay, before this discussion keeps going on questioning your gend-"

Wolf aimed his Blaster at him. "Finish that word and you'll be finished as well."

"L-Lucario do something please!"

"I...don't want to be separated yet from him," Lucario said looking down to B. Chris, who moved his head to get comfortable in Lucario's arm. "I want to spend more time with him..."

"Aw, Lucario wobby aboubby libbly baby?" Mallow asked.

Lucario blushed slightly. "D-don't talk to me like that!"

"Shh, you're going to wake up the baby!"

"...Y-you're right..."

"HEEEEEEEELP!" Chris was being chased around by Wolf, trying to get Lucario's attention.

"Chris, shut up! You're going to wake up your baby self!" Lucario said.

"WHAT?!" Chris ducked in time by 2 blasts. "H-hey! Your baby is ganging up on me?!"

"At least we share something in common!" Wolf shouted as B. Wolf giggled and tried to shoot Chris.

"Everyone, stop!" Mario said as everybody stared at him.

Music stops

"W-why?" Yoshi asked.

"We're here, that's why." Mario said pointing at the big door before them.

"...Hey...why am I feeling we traveled the whole cave in little time?" Chris said stopping in his tracks.

"Because all of you kept talking about what would you do when your babies return to Master Hand." Luigi reminded them.

"...As how stupid this sounds, we were ignoring many things as we talked." Meta Knight said.

"Oh, well," Mallow tilted his head. "Then let's end this oddysey and rescue Muskular for Geno!"

"You 2, on the weird blue panel, now." Zelda said staring at the 4-person only blue panel in front of the door.

"...G-geez, you're demanding..." Luigi said as Mario, the babies and himself jumped above the button and the door began to tremble, after 5 seconds of trembling and the lock opening between the door, however, a small, invisible door opened in the right side of the door.

"...Okay, that, was completely, unnecessary." Yoshi said sweatdropping.

"Agreed." Fox said nodding in embarrassment before they all walked inside.

Petey Pirahna's Chamber

"You 2, hit the purple block, now." Zelda said pointing at the purple block floating in midair above a pipe with sand.

"S-stop being demanding for a chance!" Luigi complained before he went to hit the block by jumping below it, oddly enough, it just went even higher. "...What?"

[DededeCloneChris]

"Umm...something is not right here..." Mario said looking around.

"(And Mario wins a Fort 2300!)" Chris thought as the crowd cheered inside his head. "...I don't like how this looks anymore..."

He was really right, the sand began to shook violently and from below Luigi and B. Luigi, Petey Pirahna pushed them out of the way and ate the ? Block, before spitting it out to the wall where it made a crack and disappeared upon the impact.

"U-UAAAHHH!!" B. Luigi woke up crying as Luigi tried desperately to calm him down.

"T-there he is!" Mallow said gasping as Petey Pirahna roared loudly, awakening all the babies in the process.

"Everyone! I sense the Subspace Bomb on the other side of that wall!" Kawashima said alarmed.

"And Petey just happens to be in the way..." Chris said blinking bored.

"And me too, nya!" Dark Bowyer appeared from the portal, just besides Petey.

"Great, the weirdo who speaks weirdly is here too." Mallow said.

"Nya nya nya!" Dark Bowyer laughed evily. "End this, I will! Here, your journey ends, idiots! Nya nya nya nya!"

Petey roared agreeding with him.

"I-I don't think so!" Chris said stomping forward. "I-I hate people who says that to me just to ruin my fun AND adventure!"

"I hate people who doesn't agree either, nya!" Dark Bowyer said spinning his eyes madly.

"...He didn't talk weird now." Mallow pointed out.

"...NYA!" Dark Bowyer stomped the sand. "HATE YOU! HATE YOU! HATE YOU I DO, NYA!"

Petey roared furiously at this as his stomach grumbled, then he started to dance sideways.

"...Why is he...looking at the babies?" Yoshi asked worried, odd thing because of the fact that Petey didn't have eyes to begin with.

"...Because he wants to eat them alive!" Luigi said panicking as the babies blinked in unison, looked at each other and hid behind their adult selves, trembling.

"Now," Dark Bowyer took out 3 arrows from his skinny back as Petey jumped slightly to float in midair flapping his hands. "HERE, YOU DIE! NYA!"

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Boss Battle Theme

"DIE!" Dark Bowyer fired his 3 arrows to the sky and Petey flew high up doing several backflips before falling to the ground, looking away, the Smashers backstepped out of the way in different parts to avoid the arrows, but some of them got attack by 6 boulders that jumped out when Petey sunk in the ground with the impact.

"UGH!" Yoshi backed away when the boulder broke on him. "W-where's Petey?!"

"YUUH!" Petey called from underneath Yoshi swallowing him as he rose up from the ground, starting to munch Yoshi inside his mouth.

"OWW! OWW! HELP!"

"Don't worry, I'll help!" Mallow said running to Petey and preparing to use Star Rain. "Star Rai-"

"Y function, OFF!" Dark Bowyer yelled cancelling the "Y" function to everyone, a spring sound came from nowhere and indicated that the spell was in effect.

"Um...how do I do Star Rain again?" Mallow asked worried and confused to his baby self who yelled as Petey spat Yoshi out directly to them, slamming the Yoshi on both cloud princes. "H-hey! Watch it!"

"S-sorry...he bit me to no end..." Yoshi said moaning in pain.

"Er, I don't know how to use this, anyone care to tell me?" Meta Knight asked holding Galaxia with confusion.

"STATIC E, NYA!" Dark Bowyer called out some sort of data/electrical attack that scratched all the party severly.

"U-ugh, how did he use that?" Zelda asked panting a little.

"I don't know, but what I do know is he is going down!" Wolf said rushing towards Dark Bowyer his claws ready to slice him up.

"A function, OFF!" Dark Bowyer called out cancelling jumps and normal basic attacks as he laughed maniacally.

"W-what? H-how do I attack with my claws?" Wolf asked looking at his claws, confused before Dark Bowyer shot a barrage of 10 arrows straight to him. "U-UGH!"

"We should split up and pick our enemies!" Chris suggested.

"Right." Zelda said running to Petey and used Din's Fire together with her baby self, the flash of fire went straight to Petey's mouth, the plant thought it was a candy and he ate it, before an explosion happened in his mouth that he began to blow his tongue.

"Lucario! Use Aura Sphere on his mouth!"

"GUUUUUAAAAARGGH!!!" Lucario fired a charged Aura Sphere straight to Petey's mouth, another explosion impacted on Petey and the creature fell on his back, the pirahna tried to get up, struggling with his tiny feet.

"He's down, do an all-out attack or something!"

"I have a better idea!" Mario said taking out a Green Shell and put B. Mario on it before kicking the shell to Petey's head, the shell went back to Mario and he returned it as it spun back to Petey. "I-I won't handle this speed for much longer!"

"Then let me help!" Fox said rolling to Mario, replacing him with the kicks and the vulpine began to kick hard the shell back to Petey, although after 7 kicks the shell broke and B. Mario went soaring the air over Petey and landed just in Chris's arms.

"Yay! Yay! Yeah!" B. Mario said moving his hands up and down.

"Aw, you're so cute when you're near!" Chris said hugging B. Mario with B. Riolu.

"YUCK!" Petey roared angrily and managed to get back on feet, slapping his face with his hands before looking at the Smashers. "BLUARGH!"

"...EWW!" Zelda squealed as Petey puked on Fox and B. Fox, covering them in a sticky, brown mud that they had to close their eyes.

"...Oh, you've got to be kidding me..." Fox said as he wiped out the vomit on his eyes.

"Second time?" B. Fox asked embarrassed.

"Second time." Fox said nodding disgusted as he tried to move around, but slipped in the mud and fell on his face. "...This is just not my day...AGAIN." Fox muttered on the ground.

"LOOK OUT!" Luigi yelled as Petey jumped in the air and tried to crush Pit and B. Pit, but the 2 rolled out of the way in time and evaded Petey's weight.

"BLUARGH! BLUARGH! BLUARGH!" Petey began to puke all around him and goody mud covered most of the ground.

"Great, now we have to watch out not to slip and for that weirdo." Mallow said annoyed.

"Weirdo?! WEIRDO?! HATE YOU SO MUCH I DO, BOLT, NYA!" Dark Bowyer called out a fast but small lightning that crossed Mallow for a second before disappearing.

"YEOW! D-do you know how much I hate that attack?!" Mallow complained rubbing his head.

"I do of course! The times you cried out in pain I still remember, nya nya nya!"

"T-then stop it! Star Rain!"

"Sta Ra!" B. Mallow called out.

"Y-you wait! C-cancelled the B button I haven't-NYAAAA!!" Dark Bowyer yelled out as 2 big Starmans began to bounce 14 times each above him before mentioned attacks bounced off disappearing as Dark Bowyer raised his hand twitching in pain from the small crater he was. "...Hate babies...I do...nya..."

"Oh? That's all?" Mallow asked tilting his head with his baby self who giggled.

"...NO! ELECTRIC ORB!" Dark Bowyer's twitching hand fired an orb of electricity and it went crashing in both characters who were trapped in a rising wave of electricity, who cried out in pain and Mallow fell to his knees panting.

"...I guess...you're stronger this time..."

"Eldstar! Please come o-" Chris was interrupted as Dark Bowyer snapped his fingers, cancelling the "Y" button. "N-no! How do I call Eldstar out?!" Chris asked to B. Riolu who just blinked confused.

"....RiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiii..." B. Riolu said.

"...Apart that from being very cute, that didn't help."

"Ri." B. Riolu looked down.

"Aw, thank you at least for trying."

"Ri!"

"Yes, I know, hug me you little Ema-"

"RI!" B. Riolu pointed behind Chris.

"Wha-" Chris was suddenly attacked by 3 boulders that hit his back several times, making him back away in pain. "Ugh!... Now...you're so dead...stupid plant!" Chris said furiously slamming Tokunaga in the muddy ground and it grew up. "Go and attack that thing!"

Unfortunately, Tokunaga tried to run to Petey, but it slipped and fell on its back thanks to the mud, making B. Riolu giggled at this.

"Does somebody know how to get rid of the mud?" Zelda asked watching her steps.

"Unless we had something to wipe it out...is there any broom here?" Yoshi asked throwing several eggs to Dark Bowyer who kept shooting them down with his arrows.

"Or water?" B. Zelda asked.

"UA-OWW!" Luigi tripped in the mud and his baby self was so against him since he was laughing out loud. "W-why do you keep laughing at me?!" Luigi asked to his baby self who just pointed at him in amusement. "Noooooo-ho-ho-hooooo!!"

"Anything to make this vomit disappear would be good!" Wolf complained trying to shoot Petey, who slid through the vomit and slammed his head right into him, the lupine was about to crash into a wall but he managed to put his feet on the wall in time and jump back to safe ground.

"...Wait...Petey just sled in the vomit so...I got it!" Chris said snapping his fingers. "We'll slide around the vomit and attack while we're at it!"

"Like in the parties Luigi!" Mario said.

"Y-yes...like in the parties..." Luigi muttered in the mud.

"...Lucario, get Luigi." Chris said sweatdropping.

"Alright." Lucario nodded and jumped straight to Luigi (evading the arrows that Dark Bowyer tried to shoot him), he took Luigi's hand and pulled him back to feet.

"...UAH!" Luigi got scared once he stared at Lucario's eyes that made him back away to the wall as he sled.

"Can we just attack now?" Chris asked complaining.

"We can't, that monster blocked our attacks with those buttons!" Pit said, barely dodging Petey's vomit once again by flying a little in the air.

"X button, OFF!" Dark Bowyer cancelled the options to use items, and as an extra, block Chris's change of jobs.

"You're dead now! O twisted door of distortion, open wide!" Chris casted spinning his staff.

"Hmm!" B. Chris took out a small staff from his mantle and started to move it above him.

"Negative Gate!" Both characters pinted at Petey Pirahna and 2 gates of darkness appeared at the same time, dealing a great and large amount of damage to Petey who twitched in pain constantly.

"BLUARGH!" Petey said angrily as he quickly dug with his hands and disappeared below the ground.

"Be careful, he may sprout out below us at the worst moment to bite us to death!" Yoshi said jumping in the air to evade being bitten by Petey.

"Lucario, use your aura to spot him!" Chris ordered.

"Hmm..." Lucario glowed and examined the ground. "...Pit! He is going after you!"

"T-thanks!" Pit said nodding and rolled out of the way (getting covered in the mud) as Petey sprout out closing his fangs and glared at Pit for evading his attack that he quickly returned to the earth.

"Keep going Lucario!" Chris said as he casted Limited with his baby self.

"...Meta Knight!" Lucario yelled.

"Oh no, don't you? Nya? A button, OFF!" Dark Bowyer snapped his fingers cancelling the function to jump and do basic attacks.

"U-ugh, I can't jump...we need to defeat him!" Meta Knight before Petey sprouted out from the earth and ate him along with his baby self, biting them down as B. Meta Knight screamed inside his mouth.

"Somebody...save them!" Mallow said as he evaded Bolt from Dark Bowyer.

"I'm on it." Zelda said using Din's Fire, again, with B. Zelda to explode the flash in Petey, but the plant didn't stagger that much and kept munching both knights inside his mouth.

"Tokunaga! Use Surge Breaker with a slide effect!" Chris told Tokunaga who nodded its head and rushed to Petey, calling a thunder from above him and Tokunaga spun his right arm which glowed brightly as he slid to the plant and collided its fist right into his stomach, making Petey cough out both knights who struggled to get up.

"T-thank you..." B. Meta Knight said weakly.

"M-Meta Knight, are you feeling okay?"

"That creature almost takes me out...but I should be fine if I can evade his attacks." Meta Knight said taking out Galaxia to use Drill Rush on Petey's forehead, the plant screamed out in pain as Meta Knight landed back on the mud.

"He's hiding inside the earth again!" Mario said as Petey quickly hid inside, but some seconds later, his head sprout out and the earth began to shake.

"W-what now?!" Luigi asked panicking before he felt his feet sinking in the earth. "OH NO!"

"Q-quick! We need to jump to get out!" Fox yelled trying to jump from the sand, but unfortunately the effect of Dark Bowyer's magic was still on. "G-GRR! He's keeping us in!"

"NYA NYA NYA! AND FOR THE FINALE, ARROW RAIN!" Dark Bowyer shot a shining arrow to the roof before it exploded into dozens and dozens of orange glowing arrows that damaged the entire party severly, even the babies screamed in pain and held back their tears.

"GUUUUUAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!" Lucario got furious once an arrow touched B. Chris's face and launched a rapid Aura Sphere on Dark Bowyer, collinding with his skinny body and into the wall where he moaned in pain.

"...Angry...must you...be?"

"BLUARGH!" Petey prepared to bite them all as the quicksand pulled them closer and closer to his mouth as the babies screamed.

"We have to do something before we enter his mouth!" Yoshi said.

"Throw anything inside him!" Zelda yelled casting Din's Fire (again with B. Zelda) continuously to Petey's mouth as Yoshi tried to threw eggs inside as well, however, Petey struggled to resist the attack as they were getting near him.

"Ha! Ya! Ha! Ya!" Pit fired arrow after arrow together with his baby self into Petey, the arrows were at least staggering Petey who grunted in rage, however, it only made things worse and Petey accelerated the effect of his attack and pulled them all inside his mouth as the quicksand turned back into normal earth, we could say the mud was gone since it entered his mouth.

"OWW! OWW! OWW! OUCH! OWW! OWW OWW!" Many yelled inside Petey's stuffed mouth as he bit at all of them before spitting them out to various parts of the chamber, crashing into the walls and falling to the ground, panting heavily.

"...H-help..." Yoshi moaned trying to get up.

"Eldstar! Come on out!" Chris prayed to the stars and Eldstar appeared spinning above Yoshi.

"Oh god...fine, but be more careful." Eldstar said feeling sorry for the Smashers before spinning around Yoshi and recovering his health by a half as he vanished.

"T-thanks Chris..." Yoshi said as he stood up, shaking his head and glaring at Petey and Dark Bowyer who laughed in unison at them.

"B funtion, OFF!" Dark Bowyer cancelled defensive moves in that moment.

"Professor, it's the Over Limit gauge...ready?" Chris asked panting a little.

"No! You need to hit them more times!" Kawashima replied.

"Yay!" B. Mario took out something from his back and Mario looked at it.

"T-that's a Trampoline? W-where did you get that?" Mario asked as B. Mario gave him the item.

"Heheheheh!" B. Mario just giggled as a response before Mario threw the Trampoline in front of him, which instantly grew a little. "Luigi! Jump on it!" Mario said as he jumped separately with B. Mario to the Trampoline and high up in the darkness of the roof.

"W-wait for me!" Luigi said jumping on the Trampoline along with B. Luigi as they also disappeared.

"Where they are now?! Nya?!" Dark Bowyer asked looking above before B. Luigi stomped on his face, backflipped to the Trampoline and jumped high above again. "N-NYA! SO MUCH THAT HURTS, IDIOT-OWW!" B. Mario came stomping on his face, jumped back to the Trampoline and disappeared.

"YIUCK!" Petey was then stomped by Mario, then Luigi, then B. Mario stomped on Dark Bowyer again as B. Luigi stomped on Petey.

"Wait, both of them are very far away from each other..." Pit said wondering as he glanced at the Trampoline.

"Maybe..." Zelda wondered before all their babies (except B. Chris for obvious reasons) giggled, jumped off their backs and jumped into the Trampoline, pushing them high above where they joined to frenzy of stomps together with the brothers at a moderate speed that kept growing overtime.

"I've got it! Let's join 'em!" Mallow said jumping in the Trampoline as he disappeared in the roof's darkness, he later came stomping on Dark Bowyer before backflipping to the Trampoline and joined the stomp frenzy.

"...Fine fine, I'm going now," Wolf frowned. "...Such ridiculous way to get rid of them..." Wolf muttered as everybody jumped in the Trampoline.

"OWW! OOF! OWW! OUCH! OUCH! OOF! OWW! NYA! OUCH!" Dark Bowyer yelled in great pain as every single character kept stomping his face continuously in the insane speed that each one of them were falling, both Dark Bowyer and Petey Pirahna were being damage continuously and their healths were dropping greatly. "DO SOMETHING YOU, NYA!"

"YIUCK!" Petey struggled to get out and shot a small muddy goo to the Trampoline, the item went away and vanished as everybody landed back in the ground, somewhat dizzied but recovered their selfs once they shook their heads.

"Psychopath!" Mallow called out shining a spotlight on Dark Bowyer. "...Hmm...his health is still big, but we got half of it down!"

"Sykopa!" B. Mallow called out shining another spotlight in Petey Pirahna. "...Too! Too! Too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright! We're doing progress now!"

"Over Limit gauge filled!" Kawashima said.

"The tables are...turning up for our favor." Meta Knight said.

"Meta Knight, think you can defeat them with one blow as you did with that Shroob?" Mallow asked.

"...I don't think so, I managed to kill that alien with one hit because the Shadow Bugs not only boosted its strange, but it boosted the tooth decay it had that made him weaker to my own Final Smash." Meta Knight explained.

"...Is tooth decay that bad?"

"Apparently so."

Leaving Meta Knight's knowledge aside and the fact that those monsters didn't have tooth decays (much for Chris's funny dismay), the group noticed Dark Bowyer firing another shining arrow that turned into a rain of orange arrows that spreaded quickly around the room, damaging all of them.

"No!" B. Wolf climbed Wolf's head a little and used his own Reflector to return some arrows to Dark Bowyer, who got surprised and attacked at the same time.

"Heh, good work." Wolf said.

"Yippie!" B. Wolf wagged his tail a little.

"I think it's time for you to use your Final Smash, Wolf!" Chris called as Petey ducked to bite him, but Lucario stepped in the way and used his hands to maintain Petey's mouth open and prevent Chris and B. Riolu (B Chris too because Lucario gave him to Chris quickly). "T-thank you Lucario!"

"Lu-ca-ri-o! Riii!" B. Chris and B. Riolu said giggling.

"You, get off me, this is something you shouldn't take part of yet." Wolf ordered his baby who got depressed but nodded, jumping off his back and running to Zelda. "...Yeah, go with the one who's supporting your back."

"SHUT UP AND USE YOUR FINAL SMASH ALREADY!" Chris yelled as he ran away from a shower of arrows from Dark Bowyer, trying to protect both babies too as the monster kept firing arrows to the air and try to land them of the Smashers.

Wolf rolled his eye before he put his right hand in front of his face and closed his eye. "Time to get gone," He opened his eye with a glare. "And out of my sight!" Wolf said making a motion in front of him like if he wanted to slice someone with same claw before an explosion took place on him and a rainbow aura covered his body, then he rushed towards Petey evading the arrows that Dark Bowyer tried to hit on him.

"X button, OFF!" Dark Bowyer snapped his fingers to block items and Chris's change of jobs usage as he focused his aiming at Wolf.

"Guard him! O twisted door of distortion, open wide!... Here comes a new spell!" Chris said shining for a moment before using a new spell he learned. "Bloody Howling!"

A stream of darkness sprouted below Petey and waves of negative thoughts and dark pulses pushed him into air as he was being constantly damaged by the new attack Chris casted on him.

"That was effective." Zelda said.

"Then let me use it again! "O hellion whose roar chills the very soul, resound!"

"UAAAAAAHHHH!!!" B. Chris screamed once he saw more arrows coming their way and hid inside his mantle, whimpering in fear.

"RiiiiiiIIIIIII!!!" B. Riolu got furious and used his steel plates on his arms to protect his trainer, the arrows made some pain in B. Riolu but he managed to block the arrows in time as Chris was able to finish his chant.

"Bloody Howling!" Chris called forth another stream of negative waves below Petey who was still being stopped by Lucario's brute force, once the Aura Pokémon saw Wolf almost close to Petey, he quickly backstepped out of the way doing 2 backflips, standing right besides Chris when he stopped.

"We're gonna have fun with this thing..." Wolf said dealing a strong uppercut in Petey's chin as he disappeared in the darkness of the roof before a huge, red Landmaster crushed Petey an-

Music stops

"WAIT! STOP!" The scene suddenly freezes like an old movie and Fox appeared by standing up and staring with an angry expression to Wolf's Landmaster. "What the hell is the meaning of this?! When can he use a Landmaster?!"

"Fox, Fox, Fox," Wolf appeared in the other side of the screen, with crossed arms, eye closed, and grinning too as he chuckled (much for Fox's annoyance since he grunted at him). "Your team isn't that hard to hijack."

"Hijack? Wait, were you the one who stole the Landmaster's blueprints from Peppy then?!"

"Affirmative, that wasn't part of my original plan to sabbotage the Great Fox, but hey," Wolf smirked at him as he opened his eye. "I had to admit, using your own technology against you is a dream coming true."

"You mean is a nightmare coming true to me."

"Have you gotten any sense of awareness, Fox?"

"I hate to interrupt the subject," Chris appeared upside-down above them and they looked at him. "But right now, we have a fight to watc-I mean, end, so stop talking between sce-I mean, fights, please!"

Fox rolled his eyes with annoyance. "Tsk, fine, whatever, I'm going to let you go for this time, Wolf."

"You mean, Star Wolf." Chris pointed out chuckling.

"Chris, shut up." Fox said closing his eyes, gritting his fangs.

"Alright, alright, get on with the scene." Wolf said walking away as Chris glared at him.

"THIS IS NOT A SCENE!" Chris yelled. "Anyway, get off the reader's screen, they want a match to end, Fox."

"...Fine, as long as there is nobody else using a Landmaster, and probably NEVER, EVER used one before, it's alright with me." Fox said giving a small smile to Chris with a nod.

"..." Chris sweatdropped upside-down. "...Er...you're really going to kill Falco..."

"Excuse me? What was that you just muttered?"

"GET ON WITH THE SCENE, MIKE!" Chris yelled before we returned to the scene of the fight.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Boss Battle Theme

Wolf's Landmaster landed just above Petey and the plant tried to get off, but the weight of the tank was just too much and it began to whimper in pain as Dark Bowyer gulped when the cannon was aimed directly at him.

With a cannon ready to open fire, the bow-like enemy gulped and wanted to say something before it could fire at him.

"...Oh, shi-"

And huge red blasts began to fire out the tank in quick succession.

"NYAAAA! NYAAAAAA! NYAAAAAAAA! NYAAAAAAAAA!!!" Dark Bowyer yelled in great pain as Wolf kept firing at him, inside, if somebody could see him, he was enjoying it since he was smirking, pressing the button again and again and again.

Chris noticed B. Wolf saying "Bang! Bang! Bang!" and even imitated the shots using his Blaster, not only that, B. Fox liked the attack as he did the same, but Fox? He wasn't all that hyped up. "...Fox?"

Fox's fists tightened as he closed his eyes with an angry expression. "...Don't...kill...him..." Fox muttered with gritted teeth as he panted heavily.

"...Kill Wolf?"

"He...stole...the blueprints..."

"Blueprints?"

"...Shut...up...Chris..."

B. Fox merely wagged his tail with a happy expression, contrary to his adult self who was utterly annoyed or mad off or a combination of the 2.

"...Er...go and help him!" Chris said looking to his baby self. "Now, are you ready?"

"Uh-huh!" B. Chris said nodding happily.

"Ri!" B. Riolu nodded wagging his tail.

"Wait, Lucario!" Chris called Lucario who jumped next to him.

"Yes?" Lucario asked.

"You should carry your baby self too, leave mine with me." Chris gave B. Riolu to Lucario who quickly went to his back.

"B-but..."

Chris sighed as Wolf was still firing at Dark Bowyer. "Look, I know you like my baby self, but sooner or later, you'll have to let him and B. Riolu go away, besides, he's going to be alright with me, trust me in this one, Lucario."

"Riii..." B. Riolu said as Mario evaded some gunk shots from Petey while Shiek (because Zelda transformed into her) fired rapid kunais to the backside of his head.

"...I understand..." Lucario said unsure.

"Then go and attack Petey!" Chris said before he and B. Chris started to spin their staffs above them to cast another spell as Lucario ran to Petey to slam a strong Force Palm on his stomach, B. Riolu peered from his back and used another Force Palm that was a weaker. "O hellion whose roar chills the very soul, resound!"

"Now you're gone." Wolf said pressing a button inside his Landmaster and fired a red long beam to Dark Bowyer who screamed in extreme pain as he fell to his small knee, Wolf jumped out from his Landmaster that disappeared digitally as he grinned a little.

"That was wonderful! I used Psychopath on him to see how much health he has now and it's just a few more to defeat him once and for all!" Mallow said. "On a side note, he asked "What's up with these folks?"

"Nya..." Dark Bowyer gritted his teeth as he stood up slowly. "Irritable all of you are...the end however is now, nya!
B button, OFF!" Dark Bowyer said furiously cancelling special attacks to all the party as he glared at them. "Double Arrow Rain!"

Luigi gasped as 2 shining arrows were about to reach high up and split into even more arrows. "W-WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING OR WE'RE DEAD!"

"Wait a minute, it's a projectile attack, why don't we return them back?" Shiek asked.

"If only I could reach that high and use my Reflector, I could use it to reflect all of them at once." Fox said.

"Me! Me! Me!" B. Fox said waving his hands.

"Calm down, let me thin-" A light bulb appeared above Fox (that B. Fox quickly destroyed with his Blaster) and he looked at B. Fox. "Wait, that's what you were trying to tell, correct?"

"Affirmative sir!" B. Fox said giggling and saluting.

"Alright then, are you ready?"

"Uh-huh!" B. Fox nodded as Fox double-jumped in the air as quickly as he could.

"NOW!" Fox took his baby self and threw him high up in the way of the 2 shining arrows, the baby giggled and used his own Reflector that returned the rain of multiple arrows to Dark Bowyer who gasped in shock.

"N-NO! NYA!" Dark Bowyer said backing away. "(Unless though...)"

"W-where are you going?!" Lucario asked furiously to Petey as the plant resisted the blows that Shiek kept doing on him and the plant ran towards Dark Bowyer and shielded him from his own flurry of arrows, Petey screamed in extreme pain as the arrows hit every part of his body before he fell to his rather small knees and fainted on the scene, while Dark Bowyer chuckled evily.

"What in the-he used his own ally as a shield?!" Mario asked shocked.

"Helpful servants they are, great shields for protecting myself too, nya nya nya nya!" Dark Bowyer said laughing maniacally as he kicked Petey's face.

"You're sick." Shiek said.

"What you want call me, it matters not! STATIC E!" Dark Bowyer called out a fast electric attack that damaged the entire party once again. "ARROW RAIN!" Dark Bowyer fired his shining arrow as they were still being damaged by the electric spell and yelled in pain. "BOLT! BOLT! BOLT! MORE BOLTS! NYA NYA NYA NYA!"

Every single one of them were struck down by multiple bolt attacks, the adults tried to save the babies from getting hurt but it was impossible to do so. "I can't...go on anymore..." Yoshi said panting.

"He unleashed...a flurry of magic attacks..." Lucario said dropping to one knee.

"And he's acting so wicked all of...a sudden..." Mallow said panting. "I don't think...I can't hold on any longer guys..."

"Can you cast...your healing spells?" Pit asked breathing heavily.

[DededeCloneChris]

"I'm extremely tired...and damaged...what about you?" Mallow asked to his baby self who was trying to catch his breath. "...Not good..."

"NOW, YOU DIE IT'S THE TIME! NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA!!!" Dark Bowyer yelled maniacally as he fired more arrows to the darkness of the chamber and showered down on all of them who tried to evade them, however, something wrong was happening...

"UGH!" Shiek got struck by an arrow on her head and she suddenly stopped moving.

"...Hello? Zelda? Hello?!" B. Zelda waved a hand in front of her face but she didn't respond back to her.

"Wait...where did I see this...before?" Mario asked before an arrow struck down his head and he became immobile, without blinking.

"MARIO!" Luigi yelled running to Mario as the babies tried to move the red plumber, but he didn't even move. "NO! MARIO! MARIO!"

"LUIGI! LOOK OUT ABOVE!" Pit yelled before an arrow struck Luigi's head as he became immobile. "N-no...you sick bastard!" Pit aimed his arrow at Dark Bowyer and fired it to him, but Dark Bowyer took the arrow on his right hand and vanished it. "W-What?!"

"NEXT YOU ARE, BRIEFS BOY, NYA NYA!" Dark Bowyer laughed maniacally firing a fast arrow straight to Pit's forehead at a fast speed, Pit's eyes widened before the arrow got stuck in his forehead as he also became immobile.

"ME! ME! ME! ME!" B. Pit tried to get Pit back to his senses, but it was useless. "...Me...uhhh...uhhh..."

"OUT YOU WILL GET! NYA!"

"Hu-" B. Pit looked at Dark Bowyer before an arrow became stuck on his head as well and lost his control as Pit.

"H-hey! The babies are...out of this, don't...target them!" Chris said angrily as he breathed heavily.

"Oh?! Yes, to attack you Tabbu ordered me, nya!" Dark Bowyer said preparing to shoot an arrow to Chris.

"L-LUCARIO!" Chris yelled as the arrow was coming right to him, and since his gained many injuries, he couldn't move around to evade the hit. "W-WAIT! DON'T DO I-"

"UGH!" Fox came using his illusion attack and got the hit right on his forehead, his pupils shrunk before the arrow managed to hit him and he became an immobile statue in front of Chris as B. Fox tried to wake him up.

"NO! NO NO NO!" B. Fox said about to break out in tears and tried desperately to get his adult self back to his senses, however, the baby vulpine screamed once he saw another arrow directed at him.

"FOX!" B. Wolf jupmed in the way of the arrow and sacrificed himself to save B. Fox that he became immobile as well.

"We're just...a few left now..." Meta Knight right before another arrow struck his head.

"NOT YOU!" B. Meta Knight said astonished and tried to do the same action to wake Meta Knight up, but as soon as he turned his back, an arrow got stuck on the same place and the small knight lost his consciousness.

"We're just...me...Chris...his baby self...Yoshi, Mallow, his own baby self...B. Mario, B. Luigi...Wolf...B. Fox...and B. Zelda." Lucario said.

"Ri?" B. Riolu asked.

"And you too..."

"Grr, how are we going to...defeat him in this state?" Wolf asked grunting in pain.

"EASY, FIRST YOU ALL! NYA! NYA NYA NYA NYA!" Dark Bowyer laughed maniacally once again as he shot a flurry of paralyzing arrows to everyone except Lucario, B. Chris, Chris, B. Riolu, Mallow and B. Luigi. "THERE! MANY PESTS THERE ARE NOT LEFT! NYA!"

"This doesn't look good...anymore..." Chris said panting as B. Chris tried to cheer him up.

"Oh, right, to kill you especially Tabbu ordered me, nya! Die you should, despicable World Traveler! Nya!"

"Grrrrr...don't mock Chris!" Lucario said furiously.

"MOCKING?! ME?!" Dark Bowyer took out a shining arrow designed especially to deal a one-hit KO. "WHAT HAPPENS LET'S SEE, WHEN THIS ARROW IS SHOT AT HIS HEART! SHOULD I SAY, HEARTS IN THIS CASE?! NYA?!"

Mallow gasped a little with everyone else. "Y-you couldn't do it!"

"THAT WICKED I AM, CLOUDY CLOUD!"

"C-Chris! Hurry and get...out of here!"

"I-I can't! I'm so...tired to run..." Chris said struggling to run away, but once again the damage that he currently had was just too much for him.

"UUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" B. Chris cried out loud as B. Riolu growled silently at this together with his adult self.

"DIE! WORTHLESS KID!" Dark Bowyer yelled laughing maniacally aiming directly at Chris's chest together with his baby self and fired his arrow at full speed before the inevitable happened...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Both World Travelers screamed out in pain as everyone's pupils shrunk in shock before Chris lost his balance and fell to the ground, where his eyes started to fill with tears as he held his baby self moaning a little.

"CHRIS!" Lucario and Mallow yelled out worried as they ran to him.

"RIIIIIIIIIII!!!" B. Riolu broke in tears once B. Chris was crying silently, B. Luigi ran to him and tried to speak with B. Chris, but unfortunately, it made B. Chris to giggled silently as B. Riolu licked his tears.

"...It's my fault Lucario..." Chris muttered.

"...What?" Lucario asked trying to stop his tears.

"It's my fault...B. Chris got hurt..."

"I-it wasn't...it wasn't!"

"...Lucario...we...need you...forgive us..."

"...Chris...I...should be the one...apologizing..."

"Chris! Please! Hang on! I'm...going to use HP Rai-" Mallow was suddenly interrupted as another arrow fell on his head, becoming immobile as his baby self on his back.

"No! No! Mamaaaaaaa!!!" B. Luigi cried out scared after seeing many of the adults not able to move anymore.

"NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA!!!" Dark Bowyer laughed at them. "FINALLY! DONE IS MY MISSION HERE! IS THAT HOW?! NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA!!!"

"Riiiii... Riiiiiii... Ri-ri-ri, ri riiiii..." B. Riolu closed his teary eyes and leaned his cheek close to his trainer's cheek as he remembered the day when he decided to be his Pokémon.

The Hands Daycare Center
Hallway

002 - Putting Words Together

"RI!" B. Riolu bumped into Crazy Hand, who was carrying a box of Poke Balls that rolled out in the floor.

"Oww! Sorry little baby!" Crazy Hand said picking up the Poke Balls, but with curiosity, B. Riolu picked up one and stared at it with B. Chris.

"Ri?"

"Huh?" Crazy Hand looked down to the babies and laughed a little. "Oh, that's a Poke Ball! It's currently empty, it's used to catch Pokémon like you Riolu! If someone were to catch you if they throw that Poke Ball to you, then you could be captured and be trained by the person who catched you!"

"...Riii..." B. Riolu looked at B. Chris who blinked in confusion.

"...You want to keep it?"

"Ri!" B. Riolu nodded.

"Okay, this is the deal, you can keep it but don't tell Master Hand or else he'll punish me! Understand little rascal?"

"Riii!"

"Fine! Have a nice day you 2!" Crazy Hand said floating away, humming happily as the babies stared at the Poke Ball.

Babies's Room

That night...

"Huh?" B. Chris tilted his head when B. Riolu put the Poke Ball right next to him, the Emanation Pokémon pointed at himself as his tail wagged. "Huh?"

"Rii! Ri ri ri!" B. Riolu nodded excited.

"...Hmm..."

"...Ri ri ri ri, ri ri ri ri riiii..." B. Riolu said looking down.

Apparently, B. Riolu decided to become B. Chris's Pokémon, the baby Pokémon decided that B. Chris needed someone to have fun since B. Chris hated other Pokémon (except the ones in the daycare), and it seemed that since B. Riolu was always happy to carry B. Chris around, he thought it was a good idea to be his first Pokémon.

"Ri ri ri?" B. Riolu asked waiting for an answer.

"...Hmmmm..." B. Chris began to thought, but some seconds later, B. Riolu started to sob silently and embraced himself. "Huh?"

And just for this time, we're going to translate what was B. Riolu saying.

"(Please...I want to go with you out of here...I don't want to stay alone...what if you go away from here and never return?... I don't want that... Your aura...is so kind and calm...I like it so much...and you're so happy all the time...it makes me very happy too...)" B. Riolu said sadly.

"...Hm..."

"(N-no! Don't leave me here! I beg of you! I'm alone! All alone! I don't want to be alone anymore!)" B. Riolu's tears began to stroll down his cheeks. "(I want to be...your Pokémon...I want a new family...I want to see if trainers are good and not bad as the ones who...hunted my parents...please...)"

"..."

"(I-I won't hurt anybody else here! I promise!)"

"...Ri?"

"(Huh?!)" B. Riolu looked to B. Chris who spoke using his own language.

"Ri ri ri ri! Heheheheheh!" B. Chris said giggling happily.

"(T-then?!)"

"Ri!" B. Chris took the Poke Ball and threw it directly to B. Riolu's forehead, when it made contact, B. Riolu was engulfed in a red aura before he entered the Poke Ball that shook several times in the pillow before it stopped, B. Chris slowly reached the ball and looked at it with curiosity, then, seeing the button of the middle, he pressed it and a very happy Pokémon came out wagging his tail.

"(Master! Master! Master!) Riii!!" B. Riolu said hugging his new trainer, however, he heard a small grunt of annoyance from him. "... (You don't want to be called Master?)"

"Hmph!" B. Chris looked away angrily.

"Riiiiiii!!!" B. Riolu cried out loud (waking up some babies) before B. Chris turned to him and leaned his head close to his chest. "...Riii..." B. Riolu blushed a little as B. Chris giggled.

"Huuuuuuuuuhhhhh..." B. Chris fell asleep on B. Riolu and the baby Pokémon licked his forehead happily.

"(Thank you...Chris...)"

Ever since that day an onward, B. Riolu didn't have someone in the world...

...But at least, there was someone who needed him to have fun with.

Living Room

The next morning...

"God, I can't believe this is all happening in the Mushroom Kingdom." Master Hand said as he, along with all the babies who were eating breakfast and Crazy Hand, watched the TV about some news showing the Mushroom Kingdom being invaded by the Shroobs.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." B. Chris got an angry expression once he saw the creatures and B. Riolu looked at him.

"Ri?"

"Hmm!"

B. Riolu looked at the hands a little worried before looking at him. "...Ri?"

"Ri!"

"...Ri." B. Riolu nodded.

Hallway

That night...

"...Ri, ri ri ri." B. Riolu muttered as he carried B. Chris to the door to the Mushroom Kingdom, both decided to sneak and escape to make an effort to save the kingdom of the Toads, because B. Chris hated to see others suffering that he told B. Riolu to sneak and escape from the daycare at night.

However, they were being followed by 7 other babies...

"Riiii..." B. Riolu growled at the darkness before B. Chris slapped his cheek a little to calm him down. "Ri!"

"Where Riolu going?" B. Mallow, the most recent baby of the daycare as B. Pit, asked curiously as the same babies from before revealed themselves.

"Hmm! Ahahaha!" B. Chris got happy once he saw them.

"Ri ri ri ri!" B. Riolu opposed to the idea.

"Hmph!"

"...Riii..."

"Can we...go?" B. Zelda asked.

"We want to help too." B. Ganondorf said.

"Bang enemies! All of them! Bang!" B. Wolf said taking out his Blaster enthusiastically.

"Bang bang bang!" B. Fox said agreeding with him.

"For Palutena, victory shall be ours!" B. Pit said taking out his dual-blades.

"They are scary, I want to get rid of them." B. Meta Knight said.

"Ri ri ri riii!" B. Chris said happily.

"Alright!" Many babies said happily but they lowered their voices after that.

The team of babies then decided to go to their location in the Mushroom Kingdom and help the Toads with the Shroobs...

Mushroom Kingdom - Past
Ocean

However, they wanted to go to the faraway island of the Yoshis in a boat they found, but in their way, there was a storm that moved the boat to all the sides violently, the babies ducked in the boat with fear as B. Meta Knight and B. Wolf rowed the boat through the waves.

"Hold on! This is getting dangewous!" B. Wolf warned them, since long words were still complicated to him, he didn't know the correct way to say them.

"UAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" B. Chris cried in fear as he hid in his mantle while B. Riolu tried to calm him down.

"NO!" B. Pit pointed at a huge wave that appeared before their eyes and it crashed down the boat while the babies cried for their lives.

The wave that hit them was just too much and the boat broke into pieces, all of them were separated in that point and marooned to Yoshi's Island by luck.

Although B. Chris, along with B. Ganondorf, got lost in the event, making B. Riolu cry once the morning rose up on the island, not finding his trainer anywhere.

Gritzy Caverns
Below the Koopa Dome

End of flashback

"Riii...riii....rii-iii..." B. Riolu cried above his fainted trainer as Lucario tightened his fists with rage.

"Grrrrr...grrrrr...grrrrrrr...grrrrrr..." Lucario's fists began to be engulfed with his aura as he slowly showed his fangs with pure rage as Dark Bowyer kept laughing.

Crash...

"Huh? Nya?" Dark Bowyer looked behind him, he could have sworn a sound came from the other side of the wall and an explosion took place, however, he shrugged it off and resumed to laugh.

"You...you...YOOOO-huh?!" Lucario looked down where B. Riolu was grabbing his right burning hand of aura. "W-what are you doing?!"

"Ri ri ri riiii!" B. Riolu said crying.

"W-what?! I-I have to use my aura to kill that bastard! Don't stop me or els-"

"...Riii..." B. Riolu looked down disappointed as Lucario began to think things over before he gasped.

"...No...I was...going to repeat the same mistake..." Lucario said as his eyes trembled and his aura disappeared.

"Baby?" B. Luigi asked tilting his head, stopping crying at the same time.

"...Yes...I was going to turn...into that beast again..."

"NYA NYA NYA NYAAAA!!" Dark Bowyer laughed maniacally and prepared to shoot another arrow, the same one he used to defeat Chris. "THE END THIS SHALL BE FINALLY! NYA!"

"Grrr...ugh..." Lucario dropped to one knee and B. Luigi began to panic.

"MAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" B. Luigi cried out in panic.

"RIIII!!!" B. Riolu hid behind Lucario with fear, the only thing Lucario was able to do was to grunt and glare at his enemy.

"THIS...ENDS...NO-" Dark Bowyer was interrupted before a tremble took place in the cave and he looked behind him with head upside-down. "What?"

New Super Mario Bros. Theme

"BAAAAAABIIIEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!" From the other side of the wall, a huge black figure came blasting off towards Dark Bowyer at a crazy speed and slammed directly into him, the bow enemy blasted off to the wall together with the person and Dark Bowyer let out his final scream of pain.

"NYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Dark Bowyer screamed in extreme pain before the person floated away from him as he fell to the ground, sobbing silently as his body started to vanish. "Lord Smithy...forgive me please...do it I couldn't...uuuuuhhhhh...." Dark Bowyer sobbed before vanishing into the nothingness of the air together with the Shadow Bugs, who then took Petey's body and teleported him to the Subspace, not before Petey spat out a pink familiar shell out that stopped spinning.

"...What are YOU doing here?!" Lucario asked very shocked, he then looked down his feet and ducked to grab a card with the image of Muskular, proof that they defeated Dark Bowyer and rescued him.

Before their eyes, the person who killed Dark Bowyer was the very same young Master Hand, carrying B. Ganondorf and apparently Peach with a weird mask covering her face, how did he get B. Ganondorf? Well, Ganondorf abandoned him together with the Subspace Bomb because he thought he was annoying since he cried a lot when he was pulled into the Subspace, thus dropping him close to the bomb.

Gritzy Desert
Outside the Koopa Dome

"WHAT?!"

"That's right, I'm taking the babies with me now, it's already sunset and they have to return to the daycare!"

Master Hand was able to remove the arrows out of everyone's bodies and saved them from being statues, it was already sunset and the babies were happy yo move around again.

And for Lucario's fortune, Chris was able to survive that fatal blow thanks to Master Hand again.

"I can't believe you're the Hand of Healing in the past." Chris said astonished.

"Yeah, I know, sucky title if you ask me, I'm going to turn into the Hand of Destruction in some years." Master Hand said.

"Thank you for saving Chris." Lucario said bowing to him.

"And for destroying the Subspace Bomb for us and for healing us." Chris said.

"Aw, it was nothing, besides, you guys were in trouble with that wicked guy so, why not lend you a hand? Heheheh, hand? Get it? I'm a hand myself! Hahahahaha!"

Most of them, however, were annoyed at this. "So...basically, all we did here was for nothing." Yoshi said annoyed.

"Pretty much." Fox said annoyed.

"Tsk, I used my Final Smash for nothing." Wolf said annoyed.

"MY stolen Final Smash."

"Get over it, Fox."

"This, can't be happening." Shiek said annoyed.

"Agreed." Meta Knight said annoyed.

"Agreed too." Mallow said annoyed.

"Agreed 3." Mario said annoyed.

"And me too." Luigi said before the 4 previous characters glared at him. "W-what?"

"You broke the combo chain." Pit pointed out annoyed.

"...Oh."

"...Okay, let's start this over again..." Chris said annoyed.

10 seconds later...

"Alright! We rescued Muskular!" Chris said holding out Muskular's card above him.

Although the only ones who cheered were the babies, who were above Master Hand's back (except for B. Mario and B. Luigi).

"...Fine, I know, this sucks." Chris said sighing disappointed.

"Heheh, sorry, but babies are first." Master Hand said chuckling a little.

"Well," Shiek walked to B. Zelda. "I think this is a good bye, be good and just as an extra, train using Shiekah abilities, believe me, they will come in handy."

B. Zelda giggled. "Heheh, thanks, I will."

"Mini me, you better be good, or else no more chocolate!" Mallow instructed his baby self who nodded giggling.

"Be strong at all times and stay sharp, that is all what I can say to you." Meta Knight said to his baby self.

"I will take that on mind." B. Meta Knight said nodding.

"...We didn't have so much time together but..." Yoshi looked away.

"But?" B. Ganondorf asked.

"...Try to be...pretty for a chance..." Yoshi said walking away.

"...Okay!" B. Ganondorf said cheerfully.

"Now, remember, you have to protect my baby self and make him happy all the time, you got it, right?" Chris asked B. Riolu who nodded, jumped to his arms and licked his cheek before jumping to Master Hand. "Hahahaha! I'm going to miss you!" A tear strolled down his cheek. "...Really, take care..."

"Follow Palutena's laws and rights and you should do it fine." Pit said to B. Pit who nodded giggling.

"Palutena forever!" B. Pit proclaimed.

"Just like that." Pit said smiling a little.

"Beat Fox up." Chris sweatdropped after Wolf whispered to B. Wolf, of course, the baby shook his head.

"Beat Wolf up." Chris sweatdropped again as Fox whispered almost the same thing to his baby self, who shook his head as B. Wolf.

"Whatever." Both adults said glaring at each other as they walked away.

"...Wait, someone's missing." Master Hand said looking around.

"Oh!" Kylie was now back people! "You mean the dog who's hiding behind that pillar with that baby?!"

"SHUT UP!" Lucario yelled sweating as they all looked at him holding B. Chris on his arms.

"Lucario, give my baby back." Chris said walking to Lucario, who backed away from him.

"N-no! Stay away! Don't get closer Chris! I'm warning yo-"

You should know by now how Poke Balls are useful, because Chris returned Lucario to his Poke Ball, got his baby, gave him to Master Hand and called Lucario out. "There, problem solved."

"...N-no..." Lucario muttered as B. Chris waved at him from B. Riolu's arms. "He is...going away..."

"...Hmm..." Chris decided to scratch Lucario's ears and the Aura Pokémon's tail began to wag slowly. "So, are you going to miss him?"

"Yes...but at least..." Lucario looked at him as he cleared his tears. "I still...have you with me...right?"

"Aw!" Chris hugged Lucario as the Pokémon growled happily. "Lucario, thank you! That was so nice of you!"

"Okay, I think it's time to leave now," Master Hand "smiled" at them. "Thanks for being such great babysitters, you saved the babies in some way or another...look at the time! B. Chris's parents are coming! We must go and part ways! Babies!" Master Hand began to float away in the horizon as the Smashers waved at the babies who waved back at them. "Chu-chu time!"

"CHU-CHU!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEH!" The babies repeated giggling happily and laughing all the way as they disappeared in the sunset.

"...And there they go." Mallow said wiping out a tear.

"Yeah, too bad though, I was enjoying to play with them." Yoshi said wiping out a tear.

"So Mario..." Chris looked at Mario, Luigi and the babies standing besides "Peach" on each side. "...I think...we need to part ways again for now...are you sure you're going to be fine?"

"Yes! Of course, thank you for helping us, we appreciate it." Mario said handshaking everyone's hands with Luigi as the babies tilted their heads as they giggled.

"I-I promise I'm going to join you once we're over with this, besides, we don't have many adventures anyway." Luigi said smiling to them.

"(See you in Super Paper Mario, both of you, and probably Super Mario Galaxy, and probably the Olympics too.)" Chris thought. "Anyway, babies, take care please...what's this?" Chris took a Green Shell from the babies who giggled as they hugged him. "...Aw, thank you, I'm going to keep this with me."

"Yeah!" B. Mario and B. Luigi jumped happily as they returned with their adults selves.

"Well then, we need to return to the present and return Peach to Toadsworth." Mario said as he took "Peach's hand" on his right hand and walked away to the time hole with Luigi and the babies. "See you everyone! Say hello to Master Hand by my part!"

"A-and me as well!" Luigi said as the Smashers waved at the brothers getting away, jumping inside the time hole and disappearing.

Mario, Luigi and the babies have left your team

"Well!" Kylie began jumping a little, holding a huge key with the Shroobs's insignia on it. "This is really going to be the biggest scoop EVAH! So, fellas, thanks for rescuing me, you're the heroes of my dreams!... Although it was another Koopa, anyway! Thank you! Thank you! I'll make sure you all get a copy of the Koopa Kronicle! I'm gonna try and put that key to use! Which means it's time for me to say so long! Good luck, whiskers!" And Kylie instead of hiding in her shell, walked away to the dunes and in the sunset as she dreamed what awards would she receive by her biggest scoop.

"She's gone, she's freaking gone, finally." Wolf said grinning in relief...yes, you can grin with relief.

"...And I think it's time to say so long to this infernal place of the desert." Yoshi said as Chris opened the portal.

"I'm going to miss the babies, they were so cute..." Chris said walking inside the portal.

"Yes." Lucario said entering inside.

"So we end the truce." Wolf said entering inside the portal.

"Yes, at least we agree in something." Fox said entering entering inside.

"Good bye..." Shiek muttered before entering the portal.

"BABIES! I'M GONNA MISS YOU SO MUUUUUUCH!" Yoshi cried as he entered the portal.

"ME TOOOOOOO!!!" Mallow yelled to the sky as he entered the portal.

"And me as well." Pit said closing his eyes as he entered inside the portal.

Once Meta Knight was alone, he looked to the sunset and sighed. "...I'm probably going to be the one who is going to miss them more than all of you together..." Meta Knight walked to the portal but stopped midway and chuckled. "...Just probably." And with that, he entered inside and disappeared along with the portal.

And thus, they managed to save Muskular (who was still trapped inside the card), the fourth Star Spirit.

WORLD COMPLETED!

You have gained 2300 Smash Coins!

Outside

"...Okaaaay..." Karol looked around the city that was literally blocked by Exor's magic and turned his back, walking to the hill and looked to the Smash Mansion. "...I think Raven is in there, I wonder if someone is living there to begin with..." And the leader of Brave Vesperia walked to the mansion...

Suddenly, the old man felt goosebumps, something very bad that would reveal his hideout from Rita was coming to the mansion...

Chapter 96: Enter Sonic for the third time! And Karol Capel

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"It seems we have failed once again, Lord Tabuu." The Ancient Minister announced.

"Ugh, Ganondorf! Do you have something to say about this?!" Tabuu asked with rage as Ganondorf kneeled to him.

"I am sorry, the wickedness of Bowyer got the better of him," Ganondorf said. "But see our bright side, we managed to save Petey Pirahna from getting killed at he is now currently recovering his energies."

"It is true that Bowyer's crazyness caused him to die, but next time, they will meet probably the most, dangerous Subspace elite general, Ancient Minister!"

"Yes?" The Ancient Minister asked looking at him.

"It is Galleom ready to be deployed to Sonic's world?"

"Preparations for Galleom to be deployed are almost ready, should we give him a Star Spirit to guard? The very same remaining Star Spirits are acting unstable here that their forces recover overtime once they perceive your powers that we need to take them out here as soon as possible." The Ancient Minister explained as the Axem Rangers appeared. "Hand over Misstar."

"W-what?!" Axem Red asked. "N-no fair! We have 2 Star Spirits with us an-"

"GIVE US THE STAR SPIRIT!" Tabuu yelled loudly as the Axem Rangers hid behind Axem Red, who trembled with fear.

"H-here you go! D-don't kill us off please!" Axem Red pleaded giving the card to the Ancient Minister who nodded and floated above.

"Good, now get out of here and wait until I call you...or else..." Tabuu warned the rangers who quickly hid in the darkness of the Subspace. "How are Dedede and Charizard right now?"

"Both of them are almost ready to recover their energies, should we send them to Sonic's world too?" The Ancient Minister asked.

"...Ugh, we do not have another choice."

"You could always send me again, but this time, I will fight." Ganondorf said smacking his fists together with dark energy as he grinned.

"...Very well, this time, you 3 are going to some special business with this doctor," Tabuu showed him a virtual image of Dr. Eggman. "If we cooperate, we should be able to get rid of that despicable World Traveler and the Smashers."

"Understood, I will take my leave now." Ganondorf said walking into the darkness, disappearing.

"I will stay alone and think things over, Ancient Minister, give Galleom the Star Spirit and deploy him when it is the time." Tabuu said as he teleported away.

"(...Just a little more to escape from this place...but we need to wait even more then...)" The Ancient Minister said to an image of Mr. G&W inside a tube where Shadow Bugs were being distracted from him.

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"Here, Geno," Chris said giving Geno Muskular's card. "I don't know how to call him out, would you do it for me please?"

"Certainly." Geno said as he held the card above him as the item began to shine brightly, when the lights blinded the room, the fourth Star Spirit, Muskular, came out from the star spinning and stopped after 3 seconds, then he looked at the Smashers and grinned a little.

"Phew! I'm out of that stupid prison again!" Muskular said relieved.

"Muskular, I'm glad you're alright, everyone here rescued you, especially Chris, the World Traveler." Geno said bowing to him.

"Aw, Geno! So it's true that you were using a doll to fight with Mario before!" Muskular said grinning. "It's good to breath fresh air again, in fact, I'm glad I was rescued by such cool looking guys like you all!" Muskular jumped floating to Lucario. "Like you!" He jumped to C. Falcon. "And you!" He jumped to Wolf. "And look at you!" However when he jumped to Chris, his grin faded and a worried face appeared. "Um..." He jumped to Yoshi. "Er..." He jumped to Mallow. "Well..." He jumped to Sheik and grinned again. "Aw, much, much better..."

"H-hey!" Chris said annoyed.

"Oh! Pardon me, I got carried away, heheh," Muskular said floating to Chris. "So, you're the World Traveler, are you not?"

"Y-yes." Chris said blushing a little.

"Well, I expected you to be cooler that everyone else here but...no offense, but I was waiting for a very tough guy instead of you..."

"(...I'm going to kill this star when I have the time...) Lucario, lower your hand."

"Grr..." Lucario lowered his hand already charging an Aura Sphere that vanished.

"...Anyway!" Muskular chuckled a little. "Do you think I can lend my power to you?"

"Y-yes, if you would please." Chris said.

"Okay, stand still and I'll do the rest in...now!" Muskular began to spin around Chris with spores of light in shapes of stars, when he stopped spinning around, he gave his power to Chris.

Chris has learned Chill Out!

Chill Out decreases the strength of all enemies, caution, it may sometimes fail

"T-thank you for your support!" Chris said bowing to Muskular who chuckled and grinned.

"Heh, you're not too bad World Traveler, or Chris as Geno told me, so Geno! It's this the special elite of fighters you've been talking about?"

"Smashers" it's the correct term here." Master Hand pointed out.

"Yes, they are." Geno said.

"But..." Muskular looked at the young Smashers. "...You mean I was also rescued by kids? Geez, that's embarrassing."

"And babies." Mallow said a little annoyed.

"Well, it's embarrassing to be rescued by kids alri-" C. Falcon received a hard hit on the head by Ness's bat.

"What's embarrassing to be rescued now?!" Ness asked as he tried to hit him again, but Shiek stopped him. "H-hey!"

"Even I'll be glad to hit him many times, but this is enough." Shiek said.

"Oh, disfunctional family, I like that," Muskular said before taking out a Star Piece, a green one. "So, I guess I need to return to Star Haven and put this back to place to repair the Star Road, Geno, Smashers, World Traveler, I'm putting my own faith in all of you."

"Aw, we will save the other Star Spirits, don't worry!" Twink said cheerfully.

"You're still the same enthusiastic Star kid, Twink," Muskular chuckled before he started to spin around in the air. "Call me when you want my power to be used! Good luck and please save the wishes!" And with that, the fourth Star Spirit disappeared in a blink.

"...Master Hand, you created a daycare center and were you the Hand of Healing?" Chris asked as they all looked at Master Hand, most of them annoyed.

"Er...well...how can I explain this...I...LOOK!" Master Hand pointed at a random direction, however, they were not that stupid and Master Hand snapped his fingers as he glowed for a second. "Ha! Try to ask me anything that happened before the first tournament now! I erased my own memories about what happened back then!"

"...You really need to see a psychologist, and now." Nana said frowning in shame.

"That's so sad..." Lucas said ashamed.

"Indeed." Meta Knight commented.

"And..." Yoshi looked around. "Where's Crazy Hand?"

"CHAZAM!" Crazy Hand appeared in a poof of smoke in the counter and they looked at him. "Oof! Phew! I'm so worn out! I finished creating the other 4 new jobs that you requested Master Hand!"

Master Hand looked puzzled to him. "...I did that?"

"Well, duh! You told me that 4 hours ago!"

Mewtwo frowned at this and floated to Master Hand holding out his hand to him as it glowed. "It appears his memory got erased way too far that he wanted, he managed to erase what he mentioned, but it backfired and erased almost everything else."

"Who the hell are you guys?" Master Hand asked looking around the place, confused.

"Is he going to be fine?" Chris asked.

"Don't worry about that, I'll take him with me and reconstruct his memories back," Mewtwo then started to float away holding Master Hand with his psychic powers as he got out of the room. "Do something while I'm busy with him."

"...Crazy Hand, would you plea-"

"Certainly skippy!" Crazy Hand said nodding excited.

"Anyway!" Crazy Hand said. "What do you want?"

"Ninja! Ninja! Naruto! I mean, Ninja!" Chris said giving 1200 Smash Coins to Crazy Hand.

And his clothes once again changed, now he was wearing a red japanese shirt, he got a red hood and a black mouth blocker (probably to protect him against poison gases), red pants, black boots, black fingerless gloves with a katana on a black sheath on his back. Under his red shirt, there was a thin black cloth with X-shapes covering his body, and on his black belt, there were small wallets with kunais, shurikens and spell tags.

"It feels...a little hot in here..." Chris muttered under his mouth blocker and hood, he took both of them off and looked at them. "So, how do I look?"

"The same cosplayer of always." Popo said chuckling a little.

"C-cosplayer?! I-I'm not a cosplayer!"

"But it's true! Once you change a job, you're either copying or cosplaying us!"

"T-that's not true! Right, Lucario?!"

Lucario sweated a little. "Well..."

"...My own Pokémon turns on me..." Chris said looking down as Lucario gasped.

"N-no! I-I think you're normal to me!"

"...Thank you Lucario..."

DK sweatdropped and chuckled a little. "Heheh, I guess Chris knows how to manipulate him."

"You haven't seen anything yet." Pikachu said sighing.

Main Lobby

We see Toon Link and Raven talking between themselves, or rather Toon Link hopping on his feet to make Raven teach him right now at that moment how to shoot arrows like him. "Please! Please! Please!" Toon Link said excited.

"Nah, kid, I have to take a break, besides, I'm pretty useless when I'm tired." Raven said closing his eyes in the sofa.

"B-but..."

"Tell ya somethin', if you wait, I'll promise what ya want." Raven said with a wink.

"R-really?!" Toon Link asked and Raven nodded with a small grin. "T-thanks! Oh man, this is so aweso-"

The door's ring bell sounded and they looked at the door. "Somethin' is wrong?" Raven asked.

"I think we have a guest, wait, let me go and see who it is." Toon Link walked towards the door and opened it, in front of him, a kid carrying a big brown bag with a funny hairstyle was there standing, it was Karol who got confused after seeing Toon Link's ears.

"(A Kritya? Here?)" Karol thought confused before Raven opened one eye to see him, before it got wide in shock as he quickly hid behind the sofa.

"Can...I help you?" Toon Link asked and Karol shook his head for a moment.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce my name, my name is Karol, Karol Capel," Karol introduced himseld to Toon Link. "But I'm looking for a person right now, have you seen a guy with black hair, a little tall, complains about his age most of the time and it's very laid-back with almost a carefree attitude?" Karol asked.

"Oh, you mean Ra-"

"SHHHHH!!!" Raven said in shock behind the sofa.

"Excuse me?" Karol asked confused.

"Er, nothing, who's that person again?" Toon Link asked.

"His name is Raven, I've been looking for him all over this place and well, I got lost in the forest and ended up in this area, it's not even displayed on my map, how weird..." Karol began to think by himself and wondered a little bit. "And to make matters worse, Repede, Yuri's pet, got lost and probably got here as well."

"I'm sorry...but I haven't seen anyone like him around..."

"Oh, it's okay!" Karol said smiling a bit as Raven sighed in relief. "I'm gonna look for him around here!" Karol said closing his eyes with a happy expression as Raven gasped silently at this. "I'll stay in the forest and camp out, I need to find both of them and return to Dahngrest with the others waiting for me there," Karol began to walk away. "If you see Raven, tell him I was looking for him!"

"O-okay!" Toon Link said waving at Karol. "I-I'm Link by the way!"

"Thank you! Please, tell him that me, Yuri, Estelle, Judith and Rita are looking for him!" Karol said as he disappeared in the forest to the left side of the mansion as Toon Link closed the door.

"T-the kid's gone?!" Raven asked standing up.

"Y-yeah, but why were you hiding from Karol?" Toon Link asked as Raven shifted his eyes and looked at him with a freaked out face.

"Look, kid with long ears, if Karol ever finds out I'm hidin' in this place, he'll tell the others, right?"

Toon Link blinked normally. "My name is Link and yes?"

"What WILL happen if Rita gets to know my hidin' spot? Remember she's still with that revenge note on poor ol' me?"

Toon Link gasped. "Y-you're right!"

Raven grabbed Toon Link by the shoulders and shook him. "I'LL GO TO HEAVEN! HEAVEN I TELL YA, KID! RITA'S GONNA KICK MY SORRY BUTT IF SHE KNOWS WHERE AM I!"

"O-OKAY! B-BUT STOP SHAKING ME!"

Raven let Toon Link go and started to dream the possibilities. "Think of this, I'm seein' my grave now..."

Raven's daydream

Tales of Vesperia

Dahngrest
Outskirts

Raven's group was there, in front of a grave near a tree while Estelle was sobbing silently as her tears ran down her cheeks, holding a bouquet of red flowers.

"Estelle, calm down, you don't need to cry anymore..." Judith said patting Estelle's back.

"B-but Judith...Raven is...dead..." Estelle tried not to cry and blocked her eyes.

"Estelle, we need to give the old man his flowers, I'm sure he's gonna be relieved if you do that." Yuri said looking down to Raven's grave with a stone image of him, grinning with some words labeled in gold...

Ol' Man Raven
"Oldest Member of Brave Vesperia"
"Thy pervertness took thee to Heaven"

"Geez, Rita shouldn't have been THAT hard on him..." Karol said worried.

"Good thing she isn't here right now, or else she'd blow up his grave with her Meteor Storm arte." Judith reminded them as Estelle put the bouquet on Raven's grave.

"Here Raven...I wish you're having fun...in the Heaven...uuhhh..." Estelle stood up and cried on Yuri, who hugged her a little before looking to Dahngrest.

Repede whined a little and looked to Raven's grave, where he slightly licked his face (Repede doesn't lick that much), Repede whined again as Karol got closer to him.

"Yeah, I'm going to miss Raven, Brave Vesperia will miss him too, Repede." Karol said trying to hold back his tears. "WHYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Yuri sighed in disappointment "...Well, I guess that's all we can say about the old man, let's return to Dahngrest and see what do we need to do against Alexei, I'm sure the old man would have wanted it that way." Yuri said as they started to leave the grave with Karol sobbing along the way...

Wait, who's that hiding behind the tree?

"HERE YOU ARE!" Rita jumped out sideways from the tree and glared at Raven's grave, directly to his face. "Old man, you're even more than dead!"

And Rita's life defying skills were put into test, once she used her Over Limit, all she was able to yell was...

"BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-BLAH BLAH BLAH! METEOR STOR-"

Please multiply those words by 76 times with a bunch or way too many flaming falling stones from the sky, or in this case, meteors.

Once Rita finished, she was panting heavily at the devastated area she just created, Raven's grave was totally gone from Terca Lumireis, and surely his deceased old body as well.

"That...should teach you...for the eternity!" Rita yelled closing her eyes as she walked away, stomping on the ashes of the destroyed area, then we see Estelle's bouquet still intact, however, it got burned up very quickly in a comic way and turned into dust.

End of Raven's daydream

Smash Mansion
Main Lobby

Raven gulped as he sweated. "Man...that's one scary thought..."

"F-fine, I'm going to prevent them from finding you if you want." Toon Link said shrugging.

"Aw, thanks ki-"

"However though..."

"I knew it! You sly little devil!"

Toon Link grinned mischievously. "You'll have to teach me how to shoot arrows like you do!"

Raven groaned a little. "...Ya got that, it's a deal."

"Yes! Yes!"

Yoshi was shown walking outside with a racket. "What are you guys doing here alone?"

"N-nothing, hey, where are you going Yoshi?"

"I'm going to train for the Olympics, duh! After going to my first adventure, I want to have fun but my myself! So, see you!" Yoshi said closing the door as he walked to the right, both of them seeing Yoshi humming through the window he passed.

Almost completed inn

"...Karol hasn't come back yet." Rita reminded the group as she was still reading her book of Blastia.

"Yeah, I know, guess he got lost as well." Yuri said.

"D-don't say things like that! I'm sure Karol is doing his best to find Raven and probably Repede too!" Estelle said with a glare to Yuri.

"Okay okay! Geez, you don't need to get angry at me."

"Oh...sorry, I'm just a little worried about those 3 now..."

"Do you want me to go and see if they're fine?" Judith suggested raising her hand.

"W-wait, let me go instead." Estelle said standing up.

"No way Estelle, if we let you go alone by yourself, think what could happen if Alexei were to hear about you going alone somewhere." Yuri said.

"But Yuri, Alexei is still in his fortress waiting for us, so we can do anything for the time being, I'm pretty sure he wants us to meet him there."

"...Estelle, I'm thinking about your welfare, listen to me please!"

"No!" Estelle yelled and they gasped (even Rita). "I-I'm going to find Karol, Raven and Repede by myself! I'll prove you, I'm strong enough to fight alone!"

Judith sighed and smiled a little. "Well then, get going."

Estelle gasped. "Y-you mean it, Judith?"

"Yes, if you think you can go alone, then do it, we'll rescue you again."

Estelle blushed embarrassed. "I-I'm not going get kidnapped again! I swear!" Estelle walked to the door and looked at them. "Please, take care, I'll be back before afternoon."

"Just to point something out," Rita looked at her. "Here in Dahngrest is always sunset for some odd reason."

Estelle sweatdropped. "Oh...um...uh...oh well, I...guess I'll see you later...bye Yuri, Judith, Rita."

"...Just don't get hurt." Yuri said with a little grin.

"N-no I won't!" Estelle said before she left to the woods.

"Yuri, Estelle is pretty much dead by herself." Rita said.

"Well, once she has something in her head, she won't let it go until it's resolved, I say let her be." Yuri said as he leaned to the wall.

"You're gonna regret that later." Rita said rolling her eyes as she returned to read her book.

"...Like hell I will..." Yuri muttered sweatdropping.

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"Hey guys! What happened here?... Chris, why are you wearing glasses?" Toon Link asked.

Chris purchased the Scholar job, now he wore a dark-green coat with a brown jacket beneath and a white shirt beneath the brown jacket, he also wore black pants and brown boots, a pair of small lens were on his eyes (he had his eyes half-opened like he didn't have any interest in something), and there was also a light-blue book on his right hand.

"Oh, Toon Link, you're here," Chris said closing his book. "Well, Crazy Hand got new jobs and I bought 2 of them, and it seems this job gives even more IQ that the one I had before," Chris smiled a little. "And it appears I'm a little calmer than before."

"BOO!" Diddy jumped in front of him.

"UAH! G-GET AWAY!" Chris yelled backing away, holding his heart a little as they all sweatdropped. "...Er...well, I haven't changed that much." Chris said closing his eyes half-way.

"It's Master Hand okay?" Pit asked.

"By now, he should be." Meta Knight said before same hand appeared in a poof of smoke together with Mewtwo who appeared in a corner of the room.

"Phew, thanks Mewtwo for saving my memories." Master Hand said sighing in relief.

"It was not that much of a problem." Mewtwo said nodding.

"Anyway, Chris, you got 2 new jobs, good, we should wait for the next attack."

"Can I go this time? Pleeeeease?" Diddy asked.

"And what about me?" DK asked.

"And us?" Popo and Nana asked.

"And us?" Ness and Lucas asked.

"And don't forget to take me as well." Geno said.

"M-me too!" Twink said.

"I-I'll see if I can take you all with me, don't worry!" Chris said backing away as he looked to Lucario. "You're going again if you want."

"...Can I stay behind this time?" Lucario asked.

"W-why?"

"I want to...meditate and try to calm down my fury if it is possible."

"Then allow me to assist you." Mewtwo said floating to Lucario.

"You will help me?"

"I believe if we find a way to use your anger to our favor, the battles ahead will be easier to fight." Mewtwo explained.

"...I see," Lucario said nodding. "Chris, sorry, but I'm going to stay behind this time."

"It's okay," Chris rubbed Lucario's head a little (Lucario growled at this) and smiled a little to him. "I can always count on everyone's help without you."

"Then we shall leave, Lucario, come to my room." Mewtwo said floating away as Lucario followed him, waving at Chris before disappearing in the hallway (as a Prinny with 2 others looked at them and shrugged a bit).

"WARNING! WARNING! WORLD TARGETED BY THE SUBSPACE ARMY, REPEAT, WARNING! WARNING! WORLD TARGETED BY THE SUBSPACE ARMY!" The alarm blared out as the screen showed the next world to them.

"...Sonic again." Chris said.

"Yep, Sonic again alright." Popo said.

"Who's that Sonic guy?" C. Falcon asked crossing his arms.

"Oh, Sonic is a new selected Smasher to participate and join us, he is also the fastest thing alive as I've heard from my sources." Master Hand said before C. Falcon gasped.

"What the-he's the fastest thing alive, and he's coming here to take MY spot as the fastest one to run around here?" C. Falcon made a fist. "That guy is going to get it for crossing my line."

"Excuse me, but you're not the only who can run fast around here!" Pikachu said angrily.

"A-and what about me? I can run really fast!" Pichu said angrily.

"Both of you are too slow, I'm the one who is the fastest." Fox said pointing at himself.

"Yeah yeah, look, hate to interrupt, but I'm the fastest here." Falco said pointing at himself.

"I think I'm the fastest here!" Pit argued.

"None of you are the fastest, I'm the fastest one." Sheik said with a glare.

"I'm the fastest one!" Popo argued as Nana glared at him. "I-I mean, we're the fastest ones here!"

"I can fly faster than running!" Jigglypuff said but however, most of them ignored that comment.

And a discussion soon broke out between many of them (not going to mention who argued and who not) as Master Hand, his insane brother, Chris, Diddy, Geno, Twink, Meta Knight, Mallow, Red, Lucas, Kirby and Wolf (dangit, I did it after all) were watching the Smashers arguing back and forth, sometimes the arguers would push other arguers right in the chest or glare at another arguer.

"...Anyone thinks this discussion is really unnecessary?" Mallow asked yawning a little.

"It's pointless in a time like this." Meta Knight said.

"Heh, everyone knows I'm the f-" Wolf was interrupted.

"The fastest one around here, heheheh." The rest repeated much like Wolf was going to say, all with chuckles included.

Wolf snarled a little at this. "Bunch of...ugh, whatever."

"Should we do something to stop them?" Kirby asked suggesting.

"Oh, I have the right idea," Chris said adjusting his glasses. "Everyone, we're going so, good bye."

"What?!" The arguers glared at Chris and he sweatdropped, somewhat scared.

"...I mean...who wants to go this time?"

"How about me?" C. Falcon asked grinning. "I'll teach that guy something he will never forget, besides, you need a racer."

Pikachu and Pichu jumped to his shoulders. "And we can use electricity!" Pikachu said gathering sparks on his cheeks.

"Yeah!" Pichu said gathering sparks as well.

"...I'm not completely sure why do we need electricity, but it's fine with me." Chris said.

"C-can I go as well?" Lucas asked raising his hand.

"And me!" Ness said. "Both of us can use electricity attacks too!"

"You're in, who else? Geno?" Chris asked.

"Fine." Geno said nodding.

"I-i'm going as well!" Twink said flying to Geno's shoulder.

"How about you Falco?"

Falco made a fist in victory in front of him. "Alright, time to get going, good thing I used to race with skateboards back when I was in High School."

"Really? Interesting." Chris remarked.

"You can take another one since Twink isn't a fighter." Master Hand pointed out.

"Hmm...can I take Popo and Nana?" Chris asked.

"Well...I think it's alright for them to go, let's see if the portal accepts them," Master Hand said snapping his fingers to call out the portal instead of Chris. "Be careful, I'm not sure why but I got a bad feeling about this..."

"Yes! We're going!" Popo said walking with Nana to the selected group.

"Time to go then!" Ness said running inside the portal with everybody else (Nana kicked Popo inside to see if he was going to get zapped, but nothing bad happened and she jumped inside) as the portal vanished with them.

"Raaaaaveeeeeen! Teach me now!" Toon Link said running away from the room.

Sheik frowned at this. "I hate that old man..."

"Pervert old man." Jigglypuff pointed out.

"Yeah..."

?

?
?

"So, you want me to kidnap the kid?"

"Exactly, he apparently knows a lot about this matter than the rest of the monsters and people living inside the mansion, it's the only way to get information out of him unfortunately, you're going right now, Mei Ling was able to locate one of those portals close to your current area."

"We'll give you information about how to defeat every single one of them if you were to get spotted, it's that alright with you, Snake?"

"I've fought worse battles than this."

"Snake..."

"Fine, I'll request help if I need it."

"Please be careful Snake, don't be too reckless."

"Got that, I'm off then."

Sonic Riders

Splash Canyon
Close to the finish line

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy were talking close to the next competition, we see Tails explaining some complicated complex about the Extreme Gears, boards that have the ability to hover over the ground, to all of them, because Knuckles was a little curious and decided to ask away.

"That's easy to explain. According to the Kutta-Joukowski Lift Theorem, the control surface flow is balanced by the inverse kinetics of the-"

Tails's high technological explanation seemed to get Knuckles instantly nuts because his eyes started to spin madly with an angry expression on his face as Tails kept explaining on and on and on and on and on and o-

[DededeCloneChris]

"STOP!!!" Knuckles yelled as Tails gasped a little. "I get it, okay?! It just floats and that's good enough for me!"

"Leave Knuckles alone Tails, his brain is really too small to understand your explanations." Sonic said grinning.

"I'm going to let that one go this time, Sonic." Knuckles said grunting a little.

Amy's ears perked a bit and she looked to the sky. "...Huh?"

"What is it Amy?" Tails asked.

"I could have sworn there were some yells coming from the sky just now..."

"It's Eggman?!" Knuckles asked glaring at the sky as Sonic took a fighting stance.

"I don't think Eggman wants to cause havoc in his own competition." Sonic said as we zoom to the sky and 9 familiar figures were shown yelling and screaming.

"W-what's that?!" Tails asked scared as he backed away.

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! IT'S GOING TO CRASH!" Amy yelled running away with the team as the 9 familiar figures landed in the bridge, falling above each other.

"Get...off...me..." Ness muttered below all of them.

"Guys! Geno!" Twink came floating down the sky shocked. "W-what happened?! Why did we fall?!"

"U-ugh! I have a better question, why are you asking that if we were the ones who ACTUALLY fell and not you?!" Nana asked trying to get off from C. Falcon.

"I think...there was another error...with the portal again..." Chris muttered above Ness but below the rest of them.

"...Huh?" Amy came walking and she looked down to them. "G-guys! You're here again!" Amy said smiling as she pulled Chris away from the pile, the others then managed to get off and stood up.

"Amy!" Chris hugged Amy and she giggled a little. "It's good to see you again!"

"Okay! Okay! Stop hugging me! You're making me blush!" Amy said blushing as Chris stopped. "So, what are you guys doing here now?"

"Hey, Amy!" Knuckles came from behind and looked at them. "...It's you guys!"

"What do you mean Knuckles?" Tails asked as he and Sonic came from behind and looked at them. "E-everyone!"

"Tails!" Pikachu, Pichu, Ness and Lucas ran to him and gave him a group hug as they laughed.

"Hey, I'm right here." Sonic said grinning pointing at himself.

"Uuuuhhhh..." The quartet looked at each other with bored looks.

"...It's something wrong?"

"No offense Sonic," Ness said. "But we haven't forgotten yet about you in that battle."

Sonic scratched his head a little. "What battle? I don't remember..."

"Oh!" Chris adjusted his glasses. "I think they mean when you-"

Flashback, back in chapter 65...

"W-WHAT IS THAT MONSTER?!" Lucas asked terrorized.

"Metal Sonic has a new ability, that ability consist of using all the destroyed machinery to fuse them all together with his body, creating a beast with unbeliavable power." Dr. Eggman explained to them.

"And with the Shadow Bugs is even worse!" Pit said.

"Argh...if we had the Chaos Emeralds...there could be hope to defeat him!" Dr. Eggman said before he found all the 7 Chaos Emeralds in Sonic's arms. "N-no! Y-you gathered all the Chaos Emeralds?!"

"Along the way." Espio said.

"Then Sonic! Turn into Super Sonic to defeat Metal Sonic once and for all!"

Sonic smirked. "Of course...but! Let me wait for the exact moment to use them!"

"WHAT?!" Was the response of everyone, except the calm characters.

"YOU IDIOT! JUST USE THEM NOW BEFORE METAL SONIC GRABS THEM!" Knuckles said furiously.

"Don't worry Knucklehead, I'll use them just before he tries to grab them from me!"

"Sonic, this is by far the most, stupid, idiot and dangerous idea I've ever heard of!" Chris said, not trying to believe it.

"Relax Chris, nothing bad is going to happe-"

"LOOK OUT!" Rouge yelled before all of them were pushed away by Shadow Metal Overlord's tail, Sonic, by accident, released the emeralds from his arms and the robotic monster took them and ate them, then, an even stronger earthquake took place and his body glowed intensely, increasing drastically his power before he roared and many buildings across the area were instantly destroyed in a chain reaction effect, creating chaos and destruction.

Sonic stood up before he felt many nasty presenses gathering slowly behind his back, then he laughed very scared and turned to see them cracking their fists in perfect unison.

"SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC?!" They said in unison with so much rage in their voices.

"I...ah...well...you guys...well...don't need to be...so mad about...it...right?"

3 minutes later...

Sonic was very badly damaged, both of his eyes were black, there was blood coming from his mouth, much dust covered most parts of his gloves and arms, and one of his shoes had many scars. Even one of his tooths was missing.

End of flashback and back to current chapter...

Sonic sweatdropped and looked away. "I-I don't know what are you talking about..."

"Sonic, if I'm not mistaken, the sweating that is in your forehead must be there because you do remember the incident that you cau-" Chris's mouth was blocked by Sonic before a second could pass.

"I-I'm telling you I don't remember that!" Sonic argued as Ness crossed his arms in annoyance.

"(It's official, these guys can make my day.)" Knuckles thought grinning.

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy joined your team!

"So anyway..." Sonic tapped his foot a little and looked at them. "Why are you here again?"

"The Subspace Army wants to take this world again." Pikachu said.

"You mean the same army that wanted to kill us?" Tails asked.

"And the ones who wanted to take Sonic from me?!" Amy asked taking out her hammer with fire in her eyes.

"A-Amy! You need to control your anger please!" Chris said backing away as Amy calmed down.

"Oof...okay...I'm calming down now..."

"Hey, you," C. Falcon looked to Sonic. "The name's C. Falcon, pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, I see now, my name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic said giving him a thumbs up with a grin and a wink.

"I heard you were going to join us very soon, and that you are the fastest thing alive."

Sonic raised his eyebrow. "Then I was MEANT to join you guys? Awesome!"

"Thank you for spoiling the surprise to Sonic." Chris said frowning, but C. Falcon ignored him.

"Finally, I can have a different adventure that beating the crap out of Eggman daily, I want to have something different! An adventure where I can fight something else than freaking robots!"

And Sonic went on and on about how great, wonderful, cool and awesome would be to have a different adventure...

Babylon Rouges's Airship
Jet's Cabin

There was a red blimp, or airship, flying far away from our group, it was the airship of the Babylon Rouges, thieves that were experts in the use of the Extreme Gears.

Inside the airship, in the cabin, we see a conversation being held.

"So!" A green hawk smirked to Dr. Eggman and the trio of the Subspace in a hologram. "You want me to take out Sonic and his gang, correct?"

"Exactly," Dr. Eggman grinned. "This time, I'm going to act like the true villain I am and take out Sonic once and for all!"

"Do not forget about the kid and the Smashers, they're a horrible nuisance to our plans." Ganondorf said crossing his arms.

"You bet! You have another deal Eggman! And you too!" Jet said making a fist.

"Then remember, I need to get the Chaos Emeralds and give Sonic a preview of something that I'm going to do once I build my special invention," Dr. Eggman smirked. "Let's just say it's a preview that his hidden "darker self" from the Metarex incident will take advantage to kill them if he ever joins them."

"Why isn't Red with them? I wanted to have fun with him." Charizard asked frowning.

"Eww." Dedede said grinning.

"W-what?! I'm not strange, you idiot!"

"Silence you 2," Ganondorf said before looking at Jet and a big white albatross whose name was Storm, Jet's right hand man and the muscle of the team. "Report to us once your mission is done, then, we will pay your services." Ganondorf said before Dr. Eggman closed the communication as jet crossed his arms at Storm.

"Heh! I think that means a better chance to beat that hedgehog again!" Jet said grinning rather evily.

"Boss, Wave is already on her way to sabbotage them." Storm informed.

"Excellent! Now we have to wait until she returns here!"

"Er...I was meanin' to ask something..."

"Spit it out then!" Jet said impatiently.

"Er...you know that Wave's boyfriend was such an...uh...ass to her?"

"Oh, you mean that freaky green bird that used explosives?" Jet asked with an angry expression. "The guy had it coming, and for a chance, it was stupid of him for turning her down."

"That's why we beat him up to a bloody pulp, right boss?"

"Duh! Of course! Wave was really sad and cried in her room for 3 days straight! I can't believe that wuss did that to her!"

"Then, can I ask you something out of...uh...curiosity?"

"Ask away!"

"What could happen if...she fell in love with another one?" Storm scratched his head. "I mean, if another idiot turns her down again and she...uh...falls in love with him?"

Jet smacked his right fist into his left palm. "We'll beat him up as well!"

Storm smiled. "R-right! I'm asking that because she is...already looking for another one right now..."

"...WHAT?!" Jet asked angrily and Storm ducked in fear. "She's looking for another boyfriend AT this time?! Right now?! In our mission?!?!?!"

"D-don't get mad boss! Think of your blood pressure!"

"GRRR!" Jet somehow was able to kick his rather big desk with his foot and was flung away. "If Wave EVER falls in love again with another, I'll going to kill her this time!"

"...If she doesn't kill you first, I mean, she's bossier than you when she gets angry." Storm pointed out as Jet calmed down with a shocked expression.

"...Well...let's see what happens and we'll do something!"

Splash Canyon
Close to the finish line

"...And Sonic wins!" Pichu said waving a checkered flag as Sonic finished the 3 laps by foot around the course in record time, while C. Falcon was still with 1 laps and a half completed.

"I told you! I'm the fastest!" Sonic taunted as his voice echoed.

"S-shut up! L-let me get there first!" C. Falcon shouted from very far away.

"YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" They all looked above and Falco came doing a lot of maneuvers as he jumped down using Sonic's Extreme Gear, the expert pilot landed in front of them with a grin as he jumped to the floor. "Man, I haven't used those moves ever since the school!"

"Too bad though," Tails said as he took the Extreme Gear. "You're not a participant of the race, if you were, then we could have had a chance to win...maybe..."

"Are you still depressed that Fox didn't come?" Chris asked as he was sitting on a rock reading his book.

"W-what?!" Tails blushed. "N-no I'm not! A-and how did you-I mean, no!"

Nana stared at Chris and tilted her head. "You know, I find that job very useful to find out people's secrets."

"Oh?" Chris looked at her. "Like you weakness of handsome me-"

Nana blocked his mouth. "How did you-I-I mean, no!"

Popo chuckled a little. "I guess he found ou-"

Nana also blocked his mouth as she blushed. "Shut up, both of you!"

"Pikachu, did you record that?" Ness whispered to Pikachu who was holding his camera.

"Yep, recorded and safe." Pikachu said chuckling as he hid his camera behind his back.

"I think that's wrong..." Lucas said a little worried.

"Aw, come on!"

Not far away, there was a humanoid purple swallow, it was Wave, another member of the Babylon Rogues, sighing depressed, holding a small detonator on her hand, he was still depressed after her boyfriend turned her down (and got beat by Jet and Storm), she was still thinking if there was another person out there meant for her.

"...C'mon, Wave, you have to forget it anytime, sooner or later..." Wave muttered to herself as she then saw Tails explaining more about the Extreme Gears to the Smashers. "...Well...I guess it's time to put the plan into action, now get serious..."

"STOP IT ALREADY!" Knuckles said annoyed. "I told you I got that! It just floats and it's good enough for me!"

"(And if I'm not mistaking, Wave should appear right...now.)" Chris thought as mentioned character came behind them, laughing at the moment.

"Hahahaha!" Wave laughed as they all looked at her.

"Huh?" Knuckles said confused.

"Sorry, but it's just too funny!" Wave said stopping laughing as she eyed the Extreme Gear "(Let's see...)" She took it from Tails's hands and inspected it. "Huh? This gear's unusual..."

"Customized it myself." Tails said putting his hands on his hips.

Wave was looking the Extreme Gear from the underneath part as she thought. "Hmm... (This isn't half bad for an amateur. Still, you can never be too caref-)"

"Oh!" Chris said as Wave jumped scared, she didn't notice him and she quickly hid the small detonator behind her. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself, my name is Chris, nice to meet you."

"Er...I..." Wave was left speechless and shook her head, glaring at Chris after she finished. "Hey, watch it jerk! You almost scared me!"

"...I see, sorry for being rude." Chris said chuckling a little, getting on Wave's nerves.

"(So this guy is the one that Jet told me to watch out for...)" Wave thought seriously. "(...He looks like a nerd to me, so why'd I get worried?)"

"It's bad to stare at people directly if you don't speak, you know."

"W-what?" Wave asked rudely. "I'm not interested in you! Now let me see this Extreme Gear!"

"Wow, Tails, she's interested in you." Twink said winking.

"W-what?" Tails asked blushing. "W-wait, I haven't asked for your name yet...and the other guy that looks like a puppet..."

"Oh, my name is Geno, nice to meet you." Geno said introducing himself.

Though Wave backed away and examined the Extreme Gear again as she thought. "(Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the bomb...I just need to put this little baby here an-)"

"I-I'm coming! I'm coming!" C. Falcon came running from behind Wave (getting her angry again as she hid the device behind her) and panted once he stopped. "I...I admit it, you're the fastest thing alive Sonic...whew..."

"Told ya." Sonic said grinning in triumph.

"CAN YOU PLEASE BE QUIET AND LET ME PUT THIS FREAKING B-" Wave shut her mouth in shock as they all stared at her.

"Can you finish that word again?" Amy asked.

"I...I wanted to say "put this freaking badge" in the Extreme Gear!" Wave said smiling scared as she took out a badge with the letters "Y-O-U S-U-C-K" on it in gold.

"...Why were you going to put that on it?" Knuckles asked with a glare as he crossed his arms.

"What? AH!" Wave threw the badge away and sweated. "J-just let me inspect it in peace!" Wave said inspecting the underneath part of the board. "(Finally...I can go along with the plan without interruptions...now...let's put this little, annoying baby here an-)"

"You guys!" Falco came with Pichu (Wave's anger was getting even bigger this time), the avian crossed his arms and grinned. "Do you know where I can find a "Chaos Emerald" thing to enter the race?"

"Wait, if you're going in, I'm going in too!" C. Falcon said before Wave got caught in her fire of rage and glared at the 2.

"WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP BEING ANNOYING AND LET ME FINISH M-"

"...There's someone very mad this day." Falco said frowning.

"I agree heartfully." Amy said annoyed.

"Us too." Popo, Nana, Ness, Geno, Lucas, Twink, Pikachu and Pichu said nodding with bored looks.

"So, who's she? It's a new friend, Tails?" Falco asked as Wave just stood there staring at him.

"I...no...she just came here out of nowhere." Tails said.

"(...Hmm...those eyes...)" Chris thought as he looked at Wave.

There was something weird happening to Wave once she focused her eyes in Falco, her pupils shrunk instantly after she looked at him, she quickly felt butterflies flying inside her stomach, there was a small smile forming around her beak and through her eyes, she saw Falco in front of a glittering pink background with roses around him.

"(Oh my...he...he is so...so...so handsome...)" Wave thought dreamily.

"...Hello?" Sonic waved a hand.

"Hey, why are you staring at me with those eyes?" Falco asked getting closer to her.

"(He is looking at me...oh god...what should I say now?... I'm so embarrassed...)" Wave thought as she blushed a little.

"...Are you blushing?"

"(Oh no, what should I say now? Don't freak out, please don't freak...I really like his vest and bandana...it makes him look too hot...)"

Chris backed away from her. "...This is...really awkward..."

"...Are you feeling alright?" Falco asked.

"...U-ughh..." Wave took out the small detonator from behind her back, the others saw it as it went inside Wave's mouth who swallowed it while her eyes were still looking at Falco. "...I...um..."

"Yes?" Falco asked raising an eyebrow.

"...I need to...to go...sorry..." Wave said giving Sonic his Extreme Gear, the swallow turned her back without changing her expression and walked away from the scene.

...3...2...1...

BOOM!

After she was gone, an explosion came from the same direction she went and they sweatdropped.

"...Was she going to put that bomb in your board?" Lucas asked to Sonic.

"I think so...weird, I think I saw her somewhere before." Sonic said wondering, rubbing his chin.

"Oh that girl!" Amy said with a glare. "Who does she think she is?"

"A strange one, that's for sure." Falco said puzzled as he tried to know why was she lost once she looked at him.

"(...Aha...)" Chris thought with a small smile. "(A new pairing is soon going to be born...)"

Babylon Rouges's Airship
Jet's Cabin

Jet sat on his seat while he looked at his weird blue-transparent box with curiousity as Storm stared at the clock, his eyes reflecting the pointers of the clock moving around with every second.

"...It's she here?" Jet asked.

"No." Storm responded without looking to him.

"I hope she's participating in the race now...or else I'll k-"

"Awwwww..." Wave came from the door, she had a dreamy face (and was covered in black dust), the swallow sat on the sofa and sighed in relief. "I just met the most, handsome hunk in the universe..."

"Who cares?" Jet asked looking outside the window before he gasped. "Wait, what?!"

"I met the guy of my dreams...today, I'm have a new mission, and that is know him better..."

"Wave! I told you before not to hang out with more "boyfriends" again!" Jet said angrily.

"I must return and get changed, I sacrificed that bomb just to not hurt him...here I go..." Wave said sighing with pleasure as she went to her room and change to her new clothes...which were the same.

"...THE BOMB?! YOU, YOU "SACRIFICED" THE BOMB?! UGH!" Jet stomped the floor with rage as Storm sweated a little. "YOU!"

"Y-yes, boss?" Storm asked shifting his eyes in fear.

"Keep an eye on Wave and see who's this "handsome" guy she was talking about, once you find that guy, tell me! ASAP! NOW!"

"R-right, boss!" Storm said saluting Jet as he ran away comically to the Splash Canyon.

Jet frowned wtih fury and crossed his arms behind his back as he looked outside. "So, these "Smashers" want to stop me, huh?" Jet smirked. "There's no way I'm gonna let them get in my own way, oh no! Just you wait, Sonic the Dumbhog!... Geez, I'm bad at laughing at people and changing their names as well...oh whatever, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

[DededeCloneChris]

Splash Canyon
Close the finish line

"The race is about to begin, competitors please report to the finish line!" Omochao announced flying around as Tails was walking to the finish line with Amy, Extreme Gears on their arms.

"Wait, Amy, where did you get your Extreme Gear?"

Amy giggled a little. "I'm not going to tell you, Tails!"

"What? Tell me! That Extreme Gear looks really good! (Besides the pink color...)"

"Sorry, I'm not going to tell you even if you're my friend." Amy said looking away.

The Smashers and Sonic's group (though only him and Knuckles), meanwhile, were watching them from the cliffs were people (mostly robots) cheered at this.

"Talk about machinery going wild..." Pikachu said looking at the robots.

"It's a shame we can't enter the race." C. Falcon said as Sonic patted his back.

"Don't worry, something good will happen, sooner or later." Sonic said.

"Maybe."

"I find this interesting..." Chris said as he talked with Professor Kawashima. "You said the Subspace Bomb is moving around here?"

"It appears so, but it's strange, I sense some kind of hidden power in this one..." Kawashima said as Chris closed the DS.

"Chris, you should stop using that job, it changed you drastically." Nana said a little annoyed.

"But he got so badass when he was just about to reveal your weakness for h-mhmhmhmhmhmh." Popo's mouth was blocked by her sister.

"Not to mention you look like a nerd." Sonic commented and a vein popped out from Chris's forehead.

"Well! Since you seem to be so annoyed, I'm going to change jobs right now!" Chris said annoyed as she changed to his Ninja job. "Okay, how about now?"

"Tomato," Sonic said randomly and they looked at him. "...What? He made me think he was one with all those red clothes."

"...I understand, I DO look like a tomato in these clothes." Chris said blushing embarrassed.

Chris obtained the title, "Tomato Ninja."

Given by a hedgehog during your travels...now go and spread the healthyness of a tomato!

"Ah, Chris, I wanted to ask you something." Sonic asked crossing his arms.

"Yes?" Chris tilted his head confused.

"I was wondering if...you could let me go with all of you this time...it's fine with you all if I go?"

"(Well, let's see, you'll skip meeting Blaze in Sonic Rush and Marine in Sonic Rush Adventure and Silver and the alternate Blaze in Sonic 06, also he's skip the Secret Rings, or Sonic and the S(BEEP!)ty Rin-)"

"Wait!" Sonic smiled a little. "I had the idea to go to this city called Soleanna for a while, I think I'm going to go right now before joining you guys!"

"W-wait, what?!"

"I heard there's this festival that they're going to have!"

"OOHH, NO NO NO! You do NOT want to go that way!" Chris said shaking his head several times.

"It's my decision, sorry."

"Sonic, you do know I know what it's going to happen if you go there, right?"

"...I guess so?" Sonic said puzzled. "Alright, spit it and spoil me, I love spoilers!"

Chris sweatdropped (and had to agree with Sonic about spoilers). "...You're going to meet a silver hedgehog with psychic powers and bad voice that will kick you so hard that you will end in defeat everytime you fight him."

"Better yet."

"Dr. Eggman is going to have an horrendous look."

"To annoy him for all his life? Sweet."

"You will crash into a lot of walls."

"Pfft, like if that is going to happen."

"You will think the entire place feels like it's glitched or something."

"Cool, I want to see that."

"The entire story is stupid by itself."

"Not until I see it with my own eyes."

"Shadow acts even more emo than before."

"Suh-weet!" Sonic said rubbing his hands's palms together.

"Tails and Knuckles are not going to be of any help, because they're useless."

"WHAT?!" Knuckles's voice asked enraged.

"E-um, I mean, Knuckles is very strong that he could lift a mountain!"

"Nevermind then!"

Chris sweatdropped and went on, losing his sanity for a moment. "You're going to die by the EVIL FORCES OF EVIL!"

"I don't die, that's crazy!" Sonic said laughing to himself.

"You're going into a very crappy future where humanity didn't even do anything to prevent it."

"Then I'll help them out."

"They're dead."

"More time for me I guess."

"...Shadow saves your life from that hedgehog."

"Pfft, I'll save his own (beep!) anytime."

"(Dammit! Is there anything I can use to make him understand?!... Wait...)" Chris looked at Amy punching the air and Chris got an idea. "...You're going to fall in love..."

"With Amy? Not a chance."

"That's not the worst part!" Chris said shocked. "You're going...to fall in love..." Drums began to play thanks to Twink. "...With a human..."

Sonic raised an eyebrow. "...Come again?"

"You're going to fall in love with a human, a princess to be exact."

"...Why'd I do that?"

"Because she's the key to something very stupid, the very stupid thing will kill you with one blow and you'll die in a stupid, dramatic sequence where she cries over you without getting pinched by your quills in a crappy area where the grass is as plain as the newspaper and doesn't move by the wind, then the very stupid thing will laugh at you, wishing for eternal darnation to all humans as he turns into a very giant monster as a normal cliché in some kind of freaky dimension where you're still dead."

"...Oh well, it can't be helped."

"WHAT?!"

Sonic grinned as he crossed his arms. "Heh, this may be even a new experience! Alright! I can't wait to visit Soleanna and go through all those curious things an-"

Chris had enough and decided to lie one time to Sonic, just for his own and stubborn self. "...Did I mention you're going to make out with the princess?"

"W-W-WHAT?!"

"Yes, and not only that..." Oh god, Chris was already going too far. "You're ALSO going to make out with Amy, you'll admit to Shadow that you're a mere faker and he's cooler than you, Knuckles will turn into Super Knuckles and defeat the main villain, Tails will say that you suck while you don't care, since you're still making out...with b-" Chris's mouth was blocked by Sonic who was utterly shocked.

"A-A-Alright! I-I get it! I won't get near that infernal place!" Sonic shuddered a bit as he unblocked Chris's mouth. "M-man, that's one scary thought...thanks Chris for making me understand the horrible future I was going to have...BUT MAN, that's insane and crazy!"

Chris smiled and chuckled. "Oh, you're welcome! Good thing I prevented you from going there! (IN YOUR NOT-SO PRETTY FACE, ELISE! GO AND CRY ME A RIVER! MWHAHAHAHAHAH-)"

"...Chris? Chris?" Sonic waved a hand in front of Chris's happy expression. "...I'm sure...this is the right option..."

"Look, it's the same girl we met!" Pichu said pointing down at Wave who rode her Extreme Gear and stopped in the finish line, staring at Tails and Amy.

"You're the same girl who tried to hurt my Sonic!" Amy said angrily.

"...Aren't you going to say anything Sonic?" Knuckles.

"Why?" Sonic lifted his hands above his shoulders with a bored look. "It's always the same thing with her, nothing can stop Amy, sadly."

"Shut up," Wave said as Amy pouted a little. "You, shorty."

A red toon vein popped out from Tails's forehead. "M-may I help you?"

Wave approached to his ear. "You do...know who was that guy? You know...the one with fierce blue eyes and red feathers around his eyes?" Wave asked blushing a little.

"Hmm...you mean Falco?"

"(Falco?! Oh my! That is such a-oh my god!)" Wave thought dreamily. "Yeah...that one...okay, I got that, thanks."

"...You're welcome?" Tails said confused as Wave got in her position.

"Oh," Wave turned to Tails. "By the way, don't tell him I asked you that...I want to...you know...um...nevermind..."

"What?" Amy asked.

"Y-you! Get on your own business!" Wave said walking away as Amy grunted at this.

"I'm going to beat you so hard that you're going to the earth's core! You hear me?!" Amy asked swinging her hammer madly while Tails backed away scared.

Seeing all of this from above, the only thing that Falco could wonder was: "(Who's that girl anyway?)"

"Sooo, this is blind love? It's blind love right?" Lucas asked to no one in particular.

Preview of the next chapter

"Wait, I sense some signals from the Subspace Bomb!" Kawashima said.

"Then let's look around!" Pikachu said jumping off from Chris's shoulder.

...

"B-boss!" Storm called out to his walkie-talkie.

"What?!" Jet's angry voice replied from the machine.

"I-I found the guy Wave was talking about!"

...

"Sweet! Now you can challenge me in the race!" Sonic said grinning to C. Falcon, who grinned back to him and shook hands...as they grinned rather evily to each other.

"...C. Falcon sure changes when women are not involved...pretty much like Zelda..." Chris remarked.

...

"A love letter? For me?!" Falco asked grabbing the love letter.

"T-that girl gave it to me and told me to give it to you." Lucas said playing with his fingers.

...

"Next time: Extreme races, lovebirds and an angry Jet!" Knuckles said.

Chapter 97: Extreme races, lovebirds and an angry Jet

Splash Canyon
Close to the finish line

Splash Canyon

Wave was breathing silently as she thought about...you know who. "Okay Wave...you can get his attention...just concentrate..." Wave put her googles on and looked in front of her way. "Just stay focused and everything will be alright..."

"Weirdo, you talk alone." An Eggman robot said in a monotone voice.

"Shut up, you steel, ugly can! Ugh!"

"3..." Omochao prepared the countdown and the racers backed away. "2..." The racers stopped walking back. "1..." They all began to dash to the finish line and then... "GO!" They all jumped into their Extreme Gears and speeded across the track as the crowd got wild cheered loudly.

"So, that's how the race goes..." C. Falcon said wondering.

"Yeah, personally I like to run around, but hey, a new challenge is always good for a change." Sonic said.

"And mostly because you were "owned" by that bandit last night." Knuckles added as Sonic laughed sarcastically.

"Ha-ha, that's because he used the Chaos Emerald's power."

"Seriously, those things are always trying to kill us in some way..." Ness said remembering the Metal Sonic battle. "But nooooo, Sonic had to show off that time!"

"I ALREADY said I'm sorry! It won't happen again!" Sonic said annoyed.

Pikachu rolled his eyes. "Sure, look Sonic, I don't know if it is a good idea to let you join us, you should reconsider it before doing a mistake."

"..." Sonic looked down depressed, though with a serious face.

"...Stop it guys!" Chris said and everyone looked at him. "It's not Sonic's faul-"

"IT IS SONIC'S FAULT!" Ness, Falco, Popo, Nana, Pikachu and Pichu said angrily, except for Lucas who was unsure about it.

Chris sweatdropped. "...Well...maybe it is...but you don't have to remind him those awful events! We're still living, right?"

"Technically yes..." Nana trailed off.

"And he just wanted to have some fun, yes, I know, his fun time almost gets our lifes, but he can't help it!"

"I think you just turned against him..." C. Falcon pointed out.

"...Oops... IT STILL DOESN'T MATTER! At least I accept his apology, and I trust that he will not make the same mistake again, that's right, Sonic?"

"...If you say so...I won't do it again." Sonic said giving him a small smile.

Chris smiled a bit. "Good! That's good enough for me!"

Twink wiped a tear. "Touching moment...small but touching moment..."

"(...What happened between them when I wasn't here?)" Geno asked mentally, confused.

"Hey, we should focus on the race." Popo reminded them as they all continued to watch the race.

All the competitors were now arriving at the rapids, where Amy was gaining the first place, followed by 2 Eggman robots, Wave and Tails, then 3 other robots.

"YAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Amy was pulled upwards by the cascade all everyone else were pushed high into the air doing several backflips in the air before landing and accelerating.

"(There, a ramp, time to use my skills and get his attention...please Babylon, please! Help me!)" Wave thought as she saw a ramp in her way, once she prepared to jump, she rocketed to the air and did a Heelflip, Kickflip and finally a Varial Backflip, before she landed and the crowd went wild. "Ha! Beat that shorty!"

"H-hey! I'm still new to this but I'm doing my best to learn!" Tails shouted from behind as they went inside a cave with a ramp, Tails accelerated and jump high up, doing a 720 and a Backflip, however, once he was about to finish it, he landed in the floor and failed. "Ouhh..."

"Oooh! He failed to land directly!" Omochao announced as Tails cursed a little under his breath.

"Was that really necessary to point out?!"

"Of course!"

"...Whatever..." Tails said frowning as he exited the cave from behind the waterfall as Amy jumped above him and accelerated to the finish line, clearing the first lap, however, Wave was in 1st place.

"Wow, that girl is really good." Ness said.

"I-I can't do those insane tricks she just did." Lucas said.

"Hmm..." Falco began to wonder.

Either Wave had a camera just to look at Falco or she had a very good ear, because she blinked surprised as she joined her hands. "(Yes! I'm getting his attention! Oh yes! I just need to win this race and then he will k-)"

CRASH IN THE WALL! O-OH WAIT, TOO MUCH INFORMATION ALREADY!

Wave wasn't that focused on the track and she crashed directly into the cave's wall.

"Looks like Wave is gonna have a serious scar for that!" Omochao said as many robots began to laugh.

"I'm a little bit impressed after she crashed." Falco commented as somehow Wave cried toon tears.

"(Nooooo! I'm losing him!)" Wave thought crying a little as she quickly got in her board and tried to regain the first place, since Tails was now in the lead.

"Hey, teacher, professor, whatever you are," Pikachu said searching in Chris's pocket and taking out the DS, then he jumped to Chris's shoulder. "Any trails of the Subspace Army, Shadow Bugs, Charizard?"

"How rude you Electric Mouse Pokémon! I'm not a whatever, I'm a professor!" Kawashima said.

"Hmm?" Sonic walked to them and took the DS in his hands. "Hey, how do you use this? It has videogames or something?" Sonic asked looking on the back and found the pen. "...So..." Sonic began to use the pen in Kawashima's face and the professor began to feel tickles.

"H-hey! Stop it! You're tickling me! Hahahahahahaha!" Kawashima pleaded laughing.

"...Good job Sonic, you found something to annoy the professor." Chris remarked.

"T-tell him to stop!"

"Hmm..." Sonic tapped the Sudoku option and a puzzle appeared, where he quickly began to play. "Hey, this isn't that hard..."

"Er, Sonic, I think you should stop playing with Kaw-" Chris was interrupted.

Ding!

Kawashima appeared on the top screen and blinked surprised. "Oh my! He finished the first Sudoku puzzle in 10 seconds!"

Chris blinked surprised before shaking his head. "F-fine! We all know Sonic can clear Sudoku challenges, now please, tell us if you detect the Subspace Army!"

"Gimme that!" Pikachu said taking the DS from Sonic's hands (who grunted a little since he was enjoying the game). "Now, search!" Pikachu said holding up the DS above him.

"...Can I try later?" Knuckles whispered to Sonic.

"Sure, I guess." Sonic said.

"Let's see now..." Kawashima said examining the area.

"I think I'm going to stay behind," C. Falcon said. "This race is something I don't want to miss."

"Hopefully, the next Star Spirit should be around here." Geno said.

"Star Spirit?" Sonic and Knuckles repeated confused.

"Oh, you haven't heard of them before, allow me to explain it."

2 minutes later...

It was the final lap and Amy was in the lead, trying to get away from Wave's dynamite attack to give it to her.

"I see, so that's why you're here too." Knuckles said rubbing his chin.

"...Ever wondered how the number "7" is overused these days?" Sonic asked.

"What do you mean?" Pichu asked.

"Look! 7 Star Spirits, 7 Chaos Emeralds, 7 Star Pieces, 7 of anything!"

Chris began to think. "...You're right... (Let's see, 7 Chaos Emeralds, 7 Star Spirits, 7 Star Pieces, 7 Dragonballs, 7 Super Paper Mario worlds, 7 wonders of the Glitz Pit, the 7 years event in Melee...)"

"Wait, I sense some signals from the Subspace Bomb!" Kawashima said.

"Then let's look around!" Pikachu said jumping off from Chris's shoulder.

"...Huh?"

"W-what is it?" Lucas asked.

"...This is strange..." Kawashima said trying to think. "...It's moving around at high speeds somewhere in the area, across the jungle... I didn't know the Subspace Bombs could wander around by their own before..."

"A Subspace Bomb that moves around by its own?" Lucas asked wondering. "...But...wait...why do I..."

"Huh? Lucas? It's something bothering you?" Chris asked.

"H-huh? N-no...it's just...I think I...n-nevermind, forget about it please."

"...Okay...if you say so."

"So, are we going or what?" Pikachu asked.

"Who wants to come?" Chris asked and Pikachu, Pichu, Ness, Lucas, Geno, Twink, Popo, Nana and Knuckles raised their hands. "Why are you 3 staying behind?"

"Same reason as before, duh." C. Falcon said.

"I wanna see if Tails can win this race." Sonic said pointing down below with his thumb.

"I'm a little bit curious as well." Falco said.

"Okay, then let's go and see if we can end this mission quickly." Ness said nodding as everyone except the 3 previous characters left the crowd.

Not too far away from them, there was someone using binoculars hidden in the bushes, it was Storm, who was looking around the place. "Let's see...who's that person Wave was talking about? Uhhhhh..."

With the team...

"Why'd a Subspace Bomb move around?" Pikachu wondered.

"Well, don't they use those weird robots to activate the bombs?" Nana asked.

"That's true, but they should move around but slowly." Ness said.

"Who cares?" Popo said swinging his hammer. "We'll smash that thing like before and presto! End of the mission!"

"Those things are hard to crush, just to let you know."

"...Maybe we can destroy them using our Final Smashes?" Chris suggested.

Pikachu remembered something and blinked surprised. "...The next Over Limit is mine! Period!"

Ness glared at Pikachu. "Oh no no no no, it's mine, mine should be enough to destroy it!"

Nana took out her hammer. "Oh, aren't you gentlemen? Let a girl do it first!"

Popo rubbed his chin. "I bet Pichu's one is bet-" Nana hit him with her hammer in annoyance.

"I-I wanna do mine!" Pichu said angrily.

"C-can I do mine, please?" Lucas asked raising his hand.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

They argued and argued until somebody else spoke.

"Mine!" Twink said angrily and they stopped to stare at him with angry looks.

"..." A moment of silence fell in. "...Mine!" Ness argued as everyone continued to argue.

"Are they always like this?" Knuckles asked.

"You don't know anything until you get to live with them..." Chris whispered shuddering a little.

"I don't care about their arguments," Geno said looking around the jungle. "What do I care is the location of the Star Spirit."

"Good! Somebody cares!"

"...I'm always caring about that, it's my job."

Chris made a bored look. "...Oh...right..."

"Mine!"

"Nana, shut up!"

And back to the race...

"This race isn't that hard to win." Tails commented as he and Amy were accelerating to the U-turn section.

"Yeah, but I wonder where is that girl again." Amy said.

"Isn't a little bit too weird, though?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"I mean, when I told her about Falco's name, she blushed a little..."

Amy began to think and then she snapped her fingers. "Oh my! Tails! I know why she blushed when you said Falco's name!"

"Y-you know Amy?"

"Of course I do! I'm an expert in this field! Look!" Amy began to explain as they entered the cave with a ramp. "It's very obvious! That girl i-"

"DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TO FINISH THAT SENTENCE!" Wave yelled from behind accelerating to Amy and dropping something above her hands as Wave jumped high up to land in the highest platform.

"...What is this?" Amy asked confused as both her and Tails jumped high up as well.

"...AMY! THROW THAT OUT! IT'S A-"

BOOM!

An explosion came from the cave and Wave got out by jumping from the waterfall and landed on a downslope, where she quickly used her boost to accelerate and reach the finish line.

"Dynamite..." Tails finished by muttering, since the explosion caught him as well.

"...I'M GONNA RIP THAT GIRL'S HEAD OFF!" Amy yelled extremely loud as she began to accelerate to the exit of the cave.

However, that wasn't enough.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!!!!!!!!" All the robots began to cheer loudly once Wave crossed the finish line in 1st place, Wave stopped with a turn and waved at the crowd, where she grinned.

"Shoot! They lost!" Sonic said snapping his fingers.

"Well, obviously, that girl had many skills at her favor." Falco commented.

Wave gasped and she quickly fainted.

"...What's the matter with her now?" Falco asked looking down to Wave.

"Hmm... Maybe..." C. Falcon rubbed his chin.

Not a second ago, a bush jumped close to them, Sonic looked the bush in curiosity but shrugged a little.

"Tails! Over here!" Sonic yelled to Tails and Amy who were just crossing the finish line, Tails grabbed Amy's hands and flew to them. "Sorry for that."

"I-it's okay, I'm still learning anyway." Tails said laughing a bit worried.

"But ugh! She cheated! I can't believe it!" Amy said gritting her teeth.

"Amy, we can use weapons to attack our opponents."

"...But she was behind me and..."

"Calm down, I'm sure that won't happen again." C. Falcon reassured her with a wink.

"Oh, why, thank you." Amy said giving him a bow.

"Anyway, we need to gather up with the others, they went to search for that bomb thing they mentioned." Sonic said.

"W-why they didn't tell me that before? I can disable those bombs this time without using substituters!" Tails said.

"Then let's get a move on!" Sonic said running away at high speed.

"H-hey! Can't you wait for me?!" C. Falcon asked as he tried to catch up with Sonic, but with no success.

"He doesn't know the word wait you know!" Tails yelled as he flew to them, but Amy got his hand and when Falco was away, she pulled him closer to her face. "W-what is it, Amy?!"

"I'm going to tell you why she blushed, I can't let this one slip off my hands." Amy whispered as she shifted her eyes. "This is it...that girl...is...in..."

2 minutes later...

"...Whoa..." Tails said, blinking surprised.

"(A-ha!)" The bush thought, overhearing their conversation.

"So anyway! Let's follow them!" Amy said giggling happily as she ran to the group.

"W-wait up!" Tails said using his tails to fly in the air with Amy.

Back with the mysterious bush, it moved and shook before Storm, who revealed himself to be the one spying on the group, took out his walkie-talkie to report the news to Jet.

"B-boss!" Storm called out to his walkie-talkie.

"What?!" Jet's angry voice replied from the machine.

"I-I found the guy Wave was talking about!"

"Really?!"

"Y-yeah! I found the buffoon she was talking about, his name is Falco, over!" Storm said saluting the sky.

"It's that so?!"

"Um...pretty sure boss..." Storm looked down where Wave was still fainted. "...Should I bring Wave to you? She's out of cold in the middle of the track, over."

"Hmph! Bring her here! I want to have a serious discussion with...wait, no! Don't do that! I'll join up with you 2 in a while, wait for me in the Splash Canyon, over and out!" Jet yelled angrily as he finished the communication.

Storm accidentaly threw the walkie-talkie away with a bored look. "Umm..." Storm looked down below and decided to carry her as he clumsily tripped all the way down.

And back with the group...

"TA-DA!"

"ACK!" Chris backed away. "S-Sonic! D-don't appear out of nowhere like that again! Y-you were going to make my heart jump out!"

"Oh, sorry for that." Sonic said grinning with an air of mischief around him.

"...Okay, now that you're here...where are the others?"

"They're trying to catch up here," Sonic put his hands on his hips and looked back above his shoulder. "The hero guy is coming."

"W-wait...darn you..." C. Falcon came panting heavily. "..."

"Oh, you're here!" Sonic said.

"Course I'm here, I did my...best to catch up...ugh..."

"Are you alright?" Twink asked.

"Just...let me...regain my energies..."

Ness sweatdropped. "...So, what were we doing again?"

"The bomb, the bomb!" Nana said annoyed smacking her forehead, then from the jungle, the other 3 came running or flying in Tails's case.

"We lost the race...sorry everyone." Tails said depressed.

"It's okay Tails." Sonic said.

"...Thanks, I think."

"Professor, can you please pinpoint the location?" Chris asked.

"Certainly," Kawashima called out. "...Hmm...it's just 50 meters away from here, follow the path of the north, beware, there are enemies around the bomb since it stopped."

"Lead the wa-" Sonic was grabbed by Chris by the shoulder. "Hey!"

"Sorry, nobody's going first, everyone goes always together to be safe."

"Pfft, yeah right, look, sorry, but this is how I work in a group."

A toon vein popped out from Chris's forehead. "Um...you should know the rules of traveling like we do, Ness!"

"Okay." Ness took out a paper from his backpack and gave it to Sonic, who stared it down in his right hand.

"...What's this?"

"Rules for traveling 101, read it if you want to come with us."

"...Alright...let me see..."

Rules for traveling 101, designed specifically for Sonic the Hedgehog

"Hey! This is just for me?" Sonic asked with a glare.

"Just keep reading, please! Complain later!" Chris said.

Rules:

You shall not separate from the group and wander off from your own, if everyone goes together to the same place, it will be safer that way

"Lame." Sonic commented.

You shall not confront an enemy alone

"Lame."

You shall not create an excuse just to wander around, alone

"Lame."

You shall not taunt the enemy either

"Lame!"

You shall not laugh at the enemy either

"Lame!"

You shall not use attacks at the moment you want, only when you have to

"Lame!"

You shall not disobey the current's leader orders

"LAME!"

You shall not work alone, did I mention this already?

"GRR!" Sonic ripped the paper in pieces and threw the pieces to both directions. "Sorry, but following these stupid rules mean not be myself! That's a bullsh-"

Ness blocked his mouth quickly. "Shh! There are kids here, like Twink!"

"Geno, what is bu-" Twink's mouth was quickly blocked by Geno, who glared at Sonic.

"This is really going to take a while for Sonic to understand." Chris said.

"You know Chris? I think I should "wander around" by my own first before I join you guys, sorry, I made my decision." Sonic said annoyed.

"(...Oh no, I did a mistake here.)"

"Tails, Knuckles, prepare, we're going to Soleanna tomorrow by morning!"

"Hey, who told me you're my boss or something?" Knuckles asked cracking his fists.

"I-I don't know what to say about this..." Tails said scratching his arm.

"..." Amy got an angry expression. "Hey! What about me?!"

And it was not long before the trio (except Tails) began to argue between themselves.

"Oh god, what did I just do?!" Chris asked grabbing his hair.

"Tell you what," Falco said with a grin as he talked like some sort of bigger entity. "YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE FIGHTS BETWEEN PEOPLEEEEEE!!!"

"OH GOD!"

Falco made a bored look. "...Chris, I was being sarcastic."

"...Oh!" Chris laughed half-scared. "I-I see! O-of course you were being sarcastic!..." Awkward moment of silence soon followed. "...You don't believe me, do you?"

"Guess." Falco said crossing his arms.

"Hey, sorry for interrupting, but we got 2 hedgehogs and whatever Knuckles is arguing." C. Falcon said.

"I'M AN ECHIDNA, THANK YOU!" Knuckles yelled out loud before returning to the discussion.

Chris felt someone pulling his shirt and he looked down. "...Yes, Lucas?"

"C-can you please stop them from arguing? I think I'm going to have nightmares with Sonic's glare..." Lucas said shuddering a little.

The World Traveler sighed. "...I guess I'm going to have the same nightmares as well...wait...STOP PLEASE!"

However, they were being spied during this whole time from even more bushes, yes, you may guess the bushes are the perfect places to hide for mediocre villains by this point.

And who were those mediocre villains?

The Babylon Rouges, those who.

"So, Wave," Jet asked glaring at Falco, who was conveniently with crossed arms. "That's the guy you fell in love with?"

"Yeeees...isn't he dreamy?" Wave asked blinking quickly with joined hands.

Jet rolled his eyes. "Yes, dreamily enough to be asking for a grave."

"Hey!" Wave glared at his younger brother. "What was that, gnome?"

"Hey! I told you a long time ago not to laugh at my height!"

[DededeCloneChris]

Storm, meanwhile, was in his own world. "Boss? Wave?" Or maybe not at all.

"Yeah?!" Jet and Wave asked glaring at him.

"I-I think we should stop yelling out loud."

"So, you're gonna order me around?" Jet asked.

"N-no! It's not that! The bird is getting suspicious!"

"Hey, did you hear something?" Falco asked looking around.

Wave pushed Jet out of the way and spied Falco again. "O-oh! Look at those sapphire eyes! Aww..."

Twink looked at the same bushes. "I think it came out from those bushes over there!"

"Uh-oh." Jet muttered.

For their fortune, a random explosion came from the opposite direction and the Smashers and Sonic's team (who stopped arguing) looked in shock.

"W-what was that?!" Popo asked.

"An explosion, duh, let's go!" Sonic said disappearing in a blink.

"I told you, it's going to take a while to make him understand!" Chris yelled as he tried to use his ninja skills and jumped very high to a tree. "...AWESOME! Did you see how high up I jumped?!"

"Get moving and stop getting impressed!" C. Falcon yelled as he ran deeper inside the jungle with everybody else, as Chris went jumping from tree to tree (with Geno and Twink, who decided to go with him).

"...That was close." Storm said standing up.

"Aw! I wanted to meet him!" Wave complained glaring down at her brother. "This is all your fault, Jet!"

"Hey! I'm the boss here, you'll listen to me right now!" Jet said glaring at her before Wave grabbed his throat. "U-UGH!"

"YOU. ARE. NOT. GOING. TO. ORDER. ME. NEAR. FALCO!" Wave said trying to crush Jet's throat, before Storm decided to...

Hug them to death.

"Oh, brothers! I think we have our next member of the Babylon Rogues!" Storm said with a happy expression.

"WHAT?!" Jet asked shocked as Wave asked happily.

"Think of this boss, that guy has the looks to be with us!"

"PUT ME DOWN, YOU MUSCLE-BRAIN!" Jet complained as Storm released both of them. "Ack! I need to catch...my breath...ugh...what do you exactly mean by that?"

"Oh, Storm!" Wave hugged Storm (for the first time in their lifes). "That is the most, greatest idea you've ever come up with!"

"Uh..." Storm blushed and touched his face with a finger.

"NO NO NO NO!" Jet yelled angrily. "The day I make that stupid wish I'll be the king of Babylon...a dead city by the way!"

"Jeeeeeeet?!" Wave cracked her fists.

"J-just let's follow that bunch of knuckleheads and challenge Sonic and his crazy team!"

Close to Egg Factory

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Behind Us

There was a big tank with Ganondorf, Dedede and Charizard, apparently, the trio were finishing some business they had back in the factory, probably they set up traps for the next race.

"The plan is simple," Ganondorf said. "Once the race starts, the traps will activate by themselves by detecting their boards and then..."

"They go to the air and yell in pain," Charizard said smirking evily. "Yeah, that should do it."

"Ya know, that plan is way too simple to get rid of 'em." Dedede commented.

"Oh, is that so?" Ganondorf said looking at the tank behind them. "If we were to fail such easy idea, then this will be enough to take them out." The king of all evil said smacking the tank a little with his palm.

"Oh, right," Charizard said grinning at the tank. "The "moving" Subspace Bomb or in the right na-"

"Say no more."

"Tsk."

"...We are not stupid kid, we know you are there trying to hide from us using that fake mantle tile."

Chris was hiding using a mantle to camouflage with the environment. "Wait, how did you see me?"

Dedede smacked his forehead. "Kid, we can see yer face."

True to Dedede's words, Chris's head was sticking out of the paper.

"And the thing you're using to hide doesn't even match with the grey pipe." Charizard pointed out frowning.

"...Crap! I used the other side instead!" Chris said cursing under his breath as a flamethrower almost burns him, but Geno quickly came from below and took him down before the flames reached the pipe. "T-that was close, thank you Geno."

"It's my job," Geno said before glaring at the trio. "If you hand over the Star Spirit, we won't fight you."

Twink came from the sky flailing his little hands. "Or better! Release all of them!"

The trio of the Subspace chuckled evily at this as the others joined the group. "Yes, ask the idea away, the one that will not happen." Ganondorf said.

"And ya can have the hedgehog!" Dedede said glaring at Sonic who was laying down above the tank, the hedgehog smirked and jumped back to the group as he grinned.

"Oh, look, it's the clone of my moves." C. Falcon said to Ganondorf.

"Clone? What a laugh, my skills are far more superior than yours."

"At least I have common sense!"

"Stop it, both of you," Nana said annoyed as she put her hammer above her shoulder. "We want to end this now, give us the star!"

"You wish," Charizard said. "We're just here to assist that doctor that doesn't even cure anything with a little project he has in reserve for that pesky hedgehog."

"...The dragon does have a point." Knuckles said rubbing his chin.

"Heh," Sonic smirked. "Bet that project he has for me isn't that hard to take down then."

"Again, you wish, it's the most, brilliant idea ever to use you as a tool." Charizard said chuckling.

"Charizard, that is enough," Ganondorf said as Charizard frowned. "Unfortunately, we have to get out of here and meet in another occasion."

"H-hey! You can't leave!" Pikachu said gathering sparks.

"And what will the cheeky-rat do? Zap us to death?" Charizard asked taunting.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"T-that's offensive, you know!" Pichu said a little angry as he gathered sparks.

"Silence, all of you." Ganondorf said.

"Hey! I have an idea, let's get outta here for real this time instead of losing our time here with 'em!" Dedede suggested jumping in the tank.

"You're not getting away this time, stay here!" Ness said.

"Aw, sorry big-headed kid, appointments and such are in our agenda currently."

"Want to know what is in my own agenda then?" Sonic asked pointing at himself with his thumb.

"(Sonic, no!)" Chris thought shaking his head.

"This!" Sonic said using a quick Homing Attack on Dedede, but the king quickly used his hammer to knock him out the tank, the hedgehog was pushed away to a near pipe but used his feet to spring back with a faster Homing Attack.

"Fire missiles!" Ganondorf ordered the tank to fire missiles at Sonic, the hedgehog turned back to normal, grinned and did a backward somesault to evade the missiles.

"Ha! What a bad aim you got there!" Sonic said taunting before noticing something. "...What the?"

There was a cloud of smoke in front of them that once it cleared out, the trio and the tank disappeared.

Music stops

"So that's why their aim was bad, it was to create a smokescreen with the missiles." Tails said.

"Damn, we couldn't do anything to stop them." Knuckles said frowning with shame.

"I-I was thinking what was the project they were talking about to use in Sonic." Lucas said.

"Who the hell cares what Eggman does to me?" Sonic asked rhetorically throwing his hands up. "I'll find him, fight him and break 'im up if I can."

Chris looked away and Pichu noticed his action. "(...Did I mess up the storyline again?... I'm worried about this...)"

Pichu jumped to his shoulder. "Chris? It's something wrong?"

"What? N-no, I'm fine Pichu, thanks for worrying about me."

Pichu wagged his tail a little. "Heheheh! No problem!"

"Were you thinking the same Amy?" Lucas asked.

"Of course!" Amy said crossing her arms and pouted a little.

"...I know, "I don't want anything bad happen to my dear Sonic", right?" Ness asked.

C. Falcon chuckled and decided to change the subject. "Anyway, I say let's wait for them to make their move and we'll attack as well, for now, let's focus in some maybe more important."

Sonic grinned and snapped his fingers. "Hey, that's right, the race!"

"Now you're talking, do you know how can I enter?"

"Well," Tails began. "You need a Chaos Emerald to enter, but Sonic, myself and Knuckles used our own emeralds to enter."

"And don't forget about me!" Amy said.

"Where did you get your emerald Amy?" Knuckles asked.

"A girl has her means to get anything."

"...Eww."

CRASH!

"WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN?!" Amy asked to the sudden red bump on the floor, maybe because of the hammer she was holding up with fire.

"NUTHUNG!" Knuckles yelled angrily.

"FINE!"

Tails shrugged. "Er...that...doesn't matter...okay, as I was saying, you need a Chaos Emerald to enter, but seeing that 4 were given, then the other 3 were..."

"Given by us!" A voice echoed through the pipes.

"...OK, I know it's getting repetitive with the hidden echoing voices, but who's that?" Popo asked looking around.

It was not so late before they saw 3 persons riding Extreme Gears coming to their direction, the persons were the Babylon Rogues who appeared from behind them, jumped the Smashers, landed in front of them and took their Extreme Gears in their arms (for an odd reason, Wave tripped).

"Oww!" Wave complained.

Jet frowned mentally as he grinned at the Smashers. "Remember me?"

"Hey, you're the guy from last night!" Sonic said pointing at him.

"Impressed by my skills on the board, hedgehog?"

Sonic rubbed his mouth a little before grinning. "Not a chance, I've gotten better enough to take you out."

"Yeah, right."

"(And the battle of the egos has just begun, ladies and gentlemen.)" Pikachu said blinking bored.

Knuckles got out from the hole and glared at Storm. "You!"

"You!" Storm repeated stupidly.

"Was that necessary?" Jet asked.

"Umm, yes?"

Jet facepalmed and frowned. "Ugh, we're so out of it today, especially miss out of this world over here." Jet pointed at her older sister who was looking dreamily to Falco.

"...Miss out of this world?" Falco repeated confused.

"Aww..." Wave merely sighed with pleasure.

A wiltered ball plant rolled between both groups in an awkward silence.

"..." Jet shook his head. "...You're stupid, you know that?"

"What?" Falco asked crossing his arms.

"Jet!" Wave said glaring at her brother.

"...Can you please tell us why are you here in the first place?" Chris asked.

"That's obvious kid," Jet said pointing at Sonic's group. "We're here to demand a challenge with the hedgehog, the fox, the pink hedgehog and whatever the red mad dog is!"

"I'M A DAMN ECHIDNA!" Knuckles yelled furiously.

"Ooohhh, group quarrel, me likes it." Popo said as Nana facepalmed.

"So, are you up to the challenge? Sonic the Slowhog?" Jet taunted about to board his Extreme Gear.

Chris sweatdropped. "...If you think Sonic will get mad at the dumb nickname you gave him, then you're dead wro-"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Sonic asked furiously at this.

"(And officialy not all the things you know from your comfortable bed or sofa as you play a game are nothing but lies once you get to know your favorite characters.)"

"Hey! That's rude!" Amy said ready to smack them down with her hammer.

"Sorry, but we don't have time for these things," C. Falcon said. "Right now, we want to know how to enter the races."

"Yes, I'd like to partcipate as well, by any means if that's possible." Falco said grinning a little.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Off-Key

Wave gasped and she quickly grabbed Falco's hands. "Wait! If you want, I can convince the host to make you enter and your friend if you want again!"

"R-really?" Falco asked taking back his hands.

"O-of course! Don't worry, I can convince anyone just for you!"

Falco grinned at her and nodded. "Then that'd be very nice if you could do that."

"(Aww, he's so handsome when he grins...)" Wave thought dreamily.

"...It was true Amy." Tails whispered to Amy.

"And not only that! I'll design you the best Extreme Gear that I've ever created, to you and the weirdo in the superhero costume (C. Falcon: Hey!) I'm an expert in this field unlike shorty!"

"Hey!" Tails said angrily, but Falco ignored that comment.

"Wow, can you do that too?" Falco asked.

Wave nodded rather quickly as Jet tried to ignore the scene her sister was causing. "Y-yes! Just leave it to me!"

"Good, thanks!"

"A-a-a-a-aww..." Wave blushed a bit shade of red and instantly fainted in front of Falco.

"...You okay there?" Falco asked looking down to her before Storm took her on his right shoulder and walked back to Jet.

"Look, if you think she's gonna do that just because she thinks you're the best man there is, you're so dead wrong on that!" Jet said angrily.

"...What, come again?" Falco asked tilting his head confused.

"Oh, blind love, just wonderful." Amy said giggling as she muttered.

"What?"

"Oh, I get it!" C. Falcon said.

"W-wait, can anyone care to explain me?"

"Ugh! You're so useless, all of you!" Jet complained.

"STOP!" Chris yelled. "Look, what are you going to do now?"

"Beat the hedgehog!" Jet said boarding his Extreme Gear.

"Yeah!" Storm said taking Wave, her Extreme Gear above his own Extreme Gear.

"Alright! Action time!" Sonic said taking out his Extreme Gear and jumped above it.

"Bring it!" Knuckles said getting above his own Extreme Gear.

Geno shook his head surprised. "Wait, where did you take those?"

"W-wait again, are you going to race here right now?" Twink asked confused.

Music stops

Their moment was soon broken by a mechanical Chao that floated down between the 2 groups. "All competitors, please report to the finish line in Egg Factory! Repeat! All competitors, please report to the finish line in Egg Factory! Knuckles the whatever and Storm the Albatross, please report to the finish line in 20 minutes!" Omochao said.

"Knuckles the WHAT?!" Knuckles asked furiously.

"I-I think that robot was programmed by Dr. Eggman himself." Lucas said as Omochao flew away using his small jet-pack.

"Seriously! It's hard to remember the word Echidna?!"

"I haven't see any echidnas before, or ever heard of them." Twink said sticking his tongue out.

"Tsk!" Jet said. "Fine, Storm, go and kick the echidna's butt in the race, I'll take Wave to the airship!"

"Right!" Storm said putting the unconscious Wave above Jet's board along with her Extreme Gear and both went away at high speeds. "So, knucklehead, ready?" Storm asked cracking his fists.

"I'm sure as hell!" Knuckles said as both went away to the finish line.

"...Knuckles lost, that's all." Sonic said frowning.

"I know he's easy to get angry, but that is ridiculous." Geno commented.

"You don't know anything." Chris said with a bored look.

Close to the finish line

Egg Factory

All the competitors (which were lots of Eggman Robots of another line of series) and both headstrong rivals were getting prepared to race in the track around the factory, which was centered and focused only about magma and fire.

"This is...hell..." Nana said sweating in the scorching fire's steam.

"Need...to take out...gloves..." Popo said about to remove his gloves.

"Popo! Don't do it! Someone will see our skin!"

"O-oh! You're right!" Popo said pulling the glove back to his hand.

"Who thought it was a good idea to build a factory with magma?" Twink asked sweating.

"Eggman, that's who." Sonic said wiping out the sweat from his forehead.

Meanwhile in an area somewhere around the factory...

"What?"

"Make these 2 enter, now."

"What?

"Make these 2 enter, now."

"What?"

"Make these 2 enter, now."

"What?

"Make these 2 enter, now."

"What?"

"Make these 2 enter, now."

"What?

Wave got furious. "MAKE THESE 2 ENTER THE DAMN RACE, NOW!" Wave said pointing at some pictures of Falco and C. Falcon, where she got them was a mystery.

"W-who told you I'm going to listen you?!" Dr. Eggman asked with a glare.

"Okay, fine! I'll tell Jet that a lie, you were trying to sabotage us!"

Dr. Eggman began to sweat. "W-why would I do such thing?" O-of course I'm never going to sabotage anything!"

"Then?" Wave crossed her arms. "Are you gonna listen or not? Hurry! I need to design some Extreme Gears!"

"I-I-ah...w-well..."

"WELL?!" Wave asked pulling out a gun from her back.

"D-darn you! Fine! These 2 are entering, there!" Dr. Eggman said adding their names on his computer. "Happy?!"

"You bet I am! Thank you!" Wave said throwing the gun at the lava, running away to the airship as Dr. Eggman got very confused.

"...Thank you? Did I miss something?" Dr. Eggman asked scratching his head before shaking it. "That doesn't matter right now, I have to finish that machine to show Sonic his little surprise...heheheheh..."

And back again with the group...

"GO!" Omochao yelled signaling the start of the competition where the racers accelerated at full speed and jumped to the factory using the ramp.

"With this heat, Knuckles's temper is going to be even worse than before..." Amy said wiping out the sweat of her neck.

"Oh, can I have your attention, please?" Omochao asked floating to the group. "I'm looking for Mr. Falco and Mr. C. Falcon, do you know them?"

"That'd be me." Falco said.

"And me." C. Falcon said.

"Oh, I see, there have been some changes around here so, you 2 are officialy competitors for the next race in Green Cave for tomorrow in the night."

Falco smiled a little. "Wait, for real? Are you serious?"

"Well, the schedule says so, and if you excuse me, I have to make some arrangements for the next track, have a nice day sirs." Omochao said floating away.

"Aw, how sweet," Amy said joining her hands. "Isn't love great? Falco?"

"...What?"

"Oh, brother..." Pikachu said frowning at Falco's cluelessness.

Pichu looked bored somewhere else. "And he calls himself a casanova..."

C. Falcon made a fist. "Great, things are starting to look up."

"Sweet! Now you can challenge me in the race!" Sonic said grinning to C. Falcon, who grinned back to him and shook hands...as they grinned rather evily to each other.

"...C. Falcon sure changes when women are not involved...pretty much like Zelda..." Chris remarked.

"I have to get a warm-up before I challenge that Mario guy." Sonic said as the Smashers stared at him.

"Oh yes, Mario said he got a letter from Sonic during his festival of sports." Geno reminded them.

Sonic blinked. "Wait, you know that Mario guy?"

"Know him? We're friends of Mario." Twink said smiling a little.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, if you want to know about him, he's the nicest person in the universe," Chris began. "He cares about the people around him and likes to save his home from Bowser, a villain that keeps kidnapping Peach, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom."

Amy raised her hand. "I was the one who found out about Mario, news spread too quickly to these parts."

"And Amy told Sonic about Mario and he decided to challenge him once he saw all the news about him over the newspapers...and internet." Tails added.

"Heh, then I thought the Olympic games were the perfect challenge to have a match with Mario and his pals," Sonic said grinning. "If he thinks he can out-run me in the running division, then he's so wrong on that!"

"Say, maybe we can invite you guys to participate as well."

"Hmm..." Popo began to think.

"Does it counts if I was the best of my school in athletism?" Ness asked.

"Don't worry about little details, we can invite you all to have a friendl-" Amy was interrupted.

"But fierce competition between rivals!" Sonic said making a thumbs-up. "What do you say?"

"I'm SO in!" C. Falcon said pumped up.

"Not another competition..." Geno said frowning. "I need to gather the Star Spirits..."

"Geno! For just one time, enter!" Twink said angrily.

"O-okay! Okay! I'm in!"

And the rest of the Smashers decided to enter as well.

"Good!" Amy said. "Now we just need to find our team and the Olympics will start soon!"

Lucas was unsure about this and backed away from the group who didn't notice him. "...I have to stop being a coward... I studder so much..."

"Pss!"

"UAH!" Lucas jumped in terror and looked behind him. "W-who is there?!"

"Pss, kid, you!" A voice called from behind a pipe.

"M-me?" Lucas asked.

"Yes! You! C'mere a second!" The voice said motioning to itself.

Lucas looked at the Smashers, then at the hand, then at the Smashers, then at the hand, and finally walked to it slowly. "W-what do you want?" Lucas thought something in his mind. "I-I'm warning you, I can make you suffer with PK Fire with PK Freeze if you attack me!"

"No!" The voice said annoyed. "Listen, I want you to deliver this letter," The voice gave Lucas a letter with a heart on the center. "To that handsome blue bird with fierce eyes."

"...You mean Falco?"

"Aww..." The voice said dreamily taking the letter back to it.

"...Hmm..." Lucas walked behind the pipe and found Wave, who gasped after the boy looked to her. "You're the sam-"

"Shh!" Wave blocked his mouth and shifted her eyes. "...Look, I want you to give him this letter...does he has a last name?"

"...Lumburdu." Lucas muttered under her hand.

"What?" Wave asked pulling her hand away from him.

"I-I think his last name was Lombardi..."

"L-Lombardi?!" If you thought she once again sighed in relief, then you were right. "Aww... Falco Lombardi... W-wait here!" Wave said tearing the letter apart, writing in another paper something, then put it inside another letter with another heart and gave it to Lucas in 20 seconds. "There! Now, please, go and give him the letter."

Lucas took the letter and tilted his head. "D-do I need to say yo-"

"Don't say my name to him!"

"I-I don't know your name!"

"Perfect! Now get out of here!!!" Wave said kicking Lucas away from her spot, where he went soaring to the sky and crashed into the floor, and ironically enough, next to Falco who looked to him, ducked to help the PK kid stand up and talked a little bit with him.

"What were you doing in the floor?" Falco asked.

Lucas looked where Wave was and she glared at him. "E-er... I was licking the floor! (STUPID LUCAS! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?!)"

"...Yuck." Falco said before turning his back to Lucas.

"W-wait!" Lucas pulled Falco's hand.

"What now?" Falco asked a little annoyed.

Lucas showed him the love letter. "T-this is for you...a love letter..."

"A love letter? For me?!" Falco asked grabbing the love letter.

"T-that girl gave it to me and told me to give it to you." Lucas said playing with his fingers.

"(I'M SO GONNA KILL THAT KID!)" Wave thought furiously hiding in the darkness.

"Hmm." Falco opened the letter and began to read every sentence to himself.

017 - Adelle

Roses are your red flaming feathers,
Violets are your deep sapphire eyes,
Sugar is your enticing voice;
And so are your handsome self.

Meet me in the forest of fireflies;
to give you my most important present.

Sincerely yours truly:
Wave the Swallow

"Oh, an appointment to get my Extreme Gear, thanks." Falco said with a nod before Amy sidestepped and took the love letter.

"...Oh my! I can't believe it! I was right!" Amy said hopping in excitement.

"Yeah, weird letter to tell me about where she wants to give me my board."

"Not that you silly!" Amy said with a glare before joining her hands. "This is absolute true love in the air!"

"Steam." Lucas pointed out because of their location.

"Whatever!"

"...Whoa, whoa whoa whoa WHOA!" Falco said shocked as his pupils shrunk. "W-what do you mean by love?"

"(Oh my... I-I need to get going now!)" Wave thought as she ran away from the darkness and to the airship.

"Isn't obvious? Geez, a person could tell a mile away, if that person wasn't you, of course!" Amy said angrily.

"Then..."

Amy smiled and put her hands on her hips. "You're understanding now!"

"...That girl...fell...in love...WITH ME?!" Falco asked shocked pointing at himself.

Amy rolled her eyes and pointed at the letter. "The poem gives it away, it describes your features in a romantic and poetic way!"

The blue avian blushed a little. "...Ouch...and I'm supposed to charm women when I'm unaware that they do the same thing under my nose."

"Beak." Lucas pointed out.

"Then, what're you gonna do, casanova?" Amy asked with a serious face.

"...Should I really do this? I mean..." Falco began to wonder.

"Ooooooooohhhhh! Falco is in lo-ve!" Popo came from behind taunting Falco, the pilot looked behind him to see that everyone else overheard their conversation.

"W-what the-you guys were eavesdropping?!"

"Duh, you were yelling." Ness said rolling his eyes with a frown.

"I can't help it, you're hitting on a girl, finally man!" C. Falcon said giving him a thumbs-up.

Sonic crossed his arms. "Pfft, what's so great about love? It just gets in your way..."

"Hmph!" Amy pouted angrily at this.

"Can I be the godfather then?" Popo asked before Nana smacked his face with her hammer.

"H-hey! Who said I'm in love with her?!" Falco asked blushing a bit shade of red.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Well then! Your attempts to charm girls finally made roots!" Chris said.

"I-I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, DAMMIT! STOP TEASING ME, YOU GUYS!" Falco yelled, as we see Storm and Knuckles trying to punch themselves out of their boards as they were crossing the finish line to get the second lap.

"Im not teasing anyone," Geno stated. "I'm just watching this for amusement."

Twink looked at him. "Ooohhh, Geno, I didn't know that side of yours!"

"U-ugh!" Falco crossed his arms and looked away.

"Ironic how the ladies that he tries to charm turn him down and the girls who charm him are turned down by him," Pikachu said. "...Wait, this happened before with Brock... Oh well."

"Come on, it's not that bad." Nana said.

"But I'm not in...whatever!" Falco said utterly annoyed.

"...Hey," Ness got an idea. "...I think we can use this for our advantage."

"Advantage?" Chris asked.

Ness nodded. "Yes, in reality, I readed her mind."

"You can read minds?" Sonic asked surprised.

"Of course...well, to be honest, this is the first time in a long time I ever use it...but something seemed fishy about the Babylon Rogues, and turns out they're working with Dr. Eggman."

"(I...should have said that since I know the storyline...)" Chris thought looking away.

"And that girl, Wave, knows a lot about his plans, on a side note, I hope Knuckles isn't being too reckless because they hid explosives along the track just to explode when h-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Sonic grinned and cleaned his right ear with his index finger. "Sorry, I didn't hear anything."

The group sweatdropped at this and went on. "O-okay, as I was saying, we're going to use this "romantic" plan to get Wave the plans we need to know!" Ness said as everyone talked between themselves, agreeding with the plan.

Let's say Falco wasn't.

"Hey! I'm not some sort of bait, I'm out!" Falco said.

"If I remember, she has the Extreme Boards." C. Falcon reminded him.

"Extreme GEARS!" Tails corrected him.

"Falco, please! We need to save Soni-" Pichu was interrupted.

"Like if I'm in danger." Sonic said crossing his arms.

"We need to save Sonic from that plan!"

"...What now?" Falco asked worried looking to the sky.

"You have to do it! It will benefit you as well!" Twink said.

"For the Star Spirits, do it." Geno said amused.

"For this world as well, remember!" Chris said.

"And for love!" Amy said, though many ignored her.

"...Guys..." Falco began closing his eyes.

"Yes?" Everyone asked getting closer to each other.

"...Firstly, I'm so against this idea...but..." Falco opened his eyes with a sigh. "But since you're the annoying bastards of my entire life...and mostly because Fox will kick my a-" Falco stopped after Geno glared at him, and because Twink wanted to hear the last word. "...M-my Airwing I mean...I'll give a shot and sacrifice myself to get it for the team... I'm so gonna kill you for this one day..." Falco said annoyed muttering the last part.

"YES!" Ness, Popo, Nana, Amy, Pikachu, Pichu and Chris said jumping in victory.

"All I have to say is," Sonic made a thumbs-up. "Go get her."

"Tiger!" Popo added motioning like a cat.

"Alrighty then," Amy grabbed Falco's hand and walked away with him (though Falco was being dragged). "I'll make you the most, handsome bird in the universe!"

"...Do I have another choice?" Falco asked rhetorically as they went away.

"...It's okay to force Falco?" Lucas asked curiously as a familiar red echidna yelled in pain.

"W-well, I-I was hesitating a little, so why not?" Ness asked.

"It may be good...wait, let me go with them, Twink, come with me." Geno said walking away to Amy and Falco.

"W-wait up!" Twink said.

"What are you going to do?" Tails asked.

"I'll tell him what he need to say to get the information we need." Geno said as he disappeared.

"...Wait a minute..." C. Falcon began and looked to Ness. "If you readed her mind, how come you didn't read the rest where the plans were?"

Ness could only blink in shock and he spoke after 3 seconds. "...Dammit!"

"Let's wish good luck to the good couple." Pichu suggested and they nodded.

BOOM!

"I HATE THIS PLAAAAAACEEEEEE!!!" Knuckles yelled at the top of his lungs.

"...Did anybody hear that?" Sonic asked.

"...We'll pretend we didn't." The Smashers said sighing in disappointment.

Preview of the next chapter

"Okay Wave...the man of your dreams is coming here...you can do this...just...be-"

"Hey."

"A-aww..." Wave fainted.

...

"Now Sonic," Jet said grinning. "Ready to beg?"

"I want to see that, but from you instead!" Sonic said smirking.

"Oh, brother..." Chris said.
...

"Heh, hey, you're very good at the board."

"R-really?"

"Yes, come to think of it, I think I'm starting to pick an interest in you."

"...Oh...my..."

...

"The Subspace Bomb! It's getting closer!" Kawashima alarmed them as the same tank from before came to the ruins.

"This," Ganondorf appeared from the tank with the other 2 and each one of them stood besides the tank, that slowly transformed into something. "Is your last warning, stop getting in our way and we will not use brute force!!!"

"Here they come, stay focused!" Chris warned the group as their eyes widened (except Sonic's) when they saw the tank finishing his transformation. "Oh...NO!!!"

...

"Next time: The Blue Birds Blues! Get the title?" Tails asked as he chuckled.

Chapter 98: The Blue Birds Blues

Green Cave
Close to the finish line

In a farther area, far away from the Egg Factory, there was Wave doing her things to complete the Extreme Gears she promised before.

"Ugh...this...is for...him...you can do it..." Wave said wiping out the sweat from her forehead. "...There!" Wave finished the Extreme Gears and she stood up, panting a little as a smile of victory appeared on her face. "Phew, that was hard...but nevertheless," She picked up the blue and red Extreme Gear, which she named the "Air Slicer" and looked down to the "Blue Falcon" (which is kind of ironic for who it was). "These boards are masterpieces, now I'm totally going to win his heart!"

Behind some bushed, we see Geno and Twink spying the purple swallow closely but carefully. "So far, she's not saying anything..." Geno muttered.

"Just how wonderful is going to get Falco fall in love with her." Twink whispered.

"Where is Amy? She said she was going to finish her part with Falco."

"Well, it's hard to find appropiate clothes in a jungle so, she had to return to Metal City and go to a clothes shop."

"I'll never understand the mystery of a girl's mind."

"I kind of know, thanks to Peach."

"...Where are they? It's getting late."

Twink looked at the sky and the pyreflies flying around. "It's because it's night here, tomorrow the next race will start at night, right?"

"Yes."

Wave sat on a rock and she looked at the sky and sighed. "...Will this be okay? I mean, Jet is very angry for my decision...who cares about that little bastard! He needs to know and understand my feelings!"

"Looks like she got in a fight with her brother." Twink whispered.

"Shh, keep it down." Geno whispered.

"I feel lonely...and...I want to be loved for one time..." Wave said to herself.

Twink shed a tear. "...I didn't know she was that lonely..."

"It's that too much to ask? I also want the acceptance of my brothers!"

"Do you think this is...making us feel guilty?"

"Because we're using her heart in a plan that we're just going to execute in order to know the plans of Dr. Eggman, who may have information about the whereabouts of the Star Spirit and the plan that he wants to use in Sonic?"

"Exactly!"

"...I'm sorry, it troubles me, but there's not another choice."

Twink looked down disappointed and Geno blinked for a moment.

"...But, who knows, what could happen if they DO fall in love with each other?" Geno asked with crossed arms.

Twink looked up with a happy expression. "Oh! Do you think that can happen?"

"Haha, it's a possibility, but it could."

"Yay!"

Wave blinked surprised and looked around. "Hey! Who's hiding there?!"

Twink imitated the sounds of a cricket.

"...Oh, just a cricket, I think I'm overreating..." Wave said resting her chin in her hands.

"Good job." Geno whispered as Twink nodded with a smile.

"...There they are!" Twink said looking at Amy and Falco walking to them. "...Wow, Falco, you look good!"

"Hmph." Falco said as he crossed his arms, probably in annoyance.

Amy giggled silently. "I spent all the day choosing the right clothes for him, until I came up with this selection, behold the new Falco!"

Falco was now dressed with a blue jacket, a black shirt underneath, blackglasses above his eyes (not ON them), a black belt on his white jeans, with black shoes, we could also add that he was showing his chest a little to look more attractive. "Seriously, I think my old clothes were just fine, now I look like I want to dance or something." Falco said frowning.

"Rude, that's what a girl wants of her boyfriend!"

"I'm not anyone's boyfriend!... Well, at least for now."

"You're going to do this for us, if you don't want to do it, tell it." Geno said.

Falco sighed. "But for once I'm thinking seriously about the mission and not myself, but is this...necessary?"

Amy facepalmed. "Of course, I told you 6 times already."

"Not to mention it could benefit you." Geno added.

"Now go for her, grrr!" Twink said.

"...Fine, fine, I'm going..." Falco said walking out from their hiding spot.

"Wait," Geno stopped Falco and whispered in his ear. "...You have to ask her all thos things."

"Geez, that's a lot to remember! How am I suppose to remember all that?"

"Don't worry, with the first thing you ask you'll remember everything else, but try to be yourself, that should be enough for her to answer." Geno said as Falco frowned to himself and walked out this time from their hiding spot.

"Ooohhh, look at him! He's my masterpiece in romance!" Amy said dreamily. "Now, if Sonic could wear that kind of clothes for me..."

"For now, concentrate on this." Geno said as Amy grunted in irritation and hid in the bushed with the duo, to spy on the "couple."

Wave was still sighing to herself. "I wonder when is he going to come..."

"You! Over here!" Falco called and Wave quickly looked at him, coming closer to her.

However, there was something odd happening inside Wave's mind, there were little versions of herself squealing with glee and running around.

"Oh god, look at the way he's dressed!" A pink Wave with "love" on her cap said dreamily.

"It makes it so much better for his appearance!" A green Wave with "eyesight" on her cap said squealing.

"I wanted the old one though." A black Wave with "thinks better than the other Waves around this crazy mind" on her cap said leaning.

"Hush! You don't know what to love!" Pink Wave said.

"Yeah!" Green Wave said.

And back to reality with the swallow and avian...

"I was looking for you all over the place." Falco said with a grin as he stopped in front of Wave.

"U-um...here." Wave said giving Falco his Extreme Gear. "T-this is...the Air Slicer, I designed it just for you."

"Hmm...it looks very good... I'm going to try it out very soon in the next race."

"I-I'm glad you liked it." Wave said playing with her fingers.

Falco looked at the farther Extreme Gear for C. Falcon and walked to it. "Is this for C. Falcon?"

"Y-yes! It is! I-I worked much harder in yours though..."

Falco chuckled a little. "Well, that isn't so bad, I guess." Falco began to walk closer to Wave.

"Okay Wave...the man of your dreams is coming here...you can do this...just...be-"

"Hey."

"A-aww..." Wave fainted.

Falco looked down to her and ducked. "You okay there?"

"I'm...fine..." Wave said as her eyes were spinning around.

"Pss! Falco!" Amy called from the bushed and Falco looked to her. "Grab her in your right arm!"

"What?" Falco whispered shocked.

"Just do it, and say something to get her!" Amy said before ducking.

"...Ugh, fine." Falco said grabbing Wave's back with his right arm and looked to her. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Huh?!" Wave asked shaking her head, and blushed a little when Falco's face was very close to her's. "Y-yes, I-I think I just fainted all of a sudden...heheheheh..."

"Hmm...so, what do you want to do tonight? (DAMMIT! I GOT TOO FAR WITH THAT!)"

Wave blinked in anticipation, stood up and grabbed Falco's hand. "W-well, do you want to eat? I-I prepared the food close to us here! In a special spot I chose!"

"(Wow, she's good at loving people and preparing the dinner just for Falco, I like her iniciative.)" Amy remarked.

"O-okay, can you lead the way?" Falco asked.

"C-certainly!" Wave said pulling Falco's hand and dragged him away from the spot.

"Shoot! They're getting away, let's follow them!" Amy said sneaking through the bushes with Geno and Twink.

The next day...

Our group gathered in the area as Amy was really, really excited about what happened yesterday.

"It was a total success!" Amy said squealing a little. "Everything worked out so well that night! It was soooooo romantic!"

"Please, shut up." Falco (now with his normal clothes on) said annoyed.

"But she was REALLY happy!" Twink said.

"And we got the information out of her," Geno said. "Though it was a shocker what we found."

"What is it then?" Tails asked.

"Firstly, Dr. Eggman is building a machine to use in Sonic, though it's not any kind of normal machine...she said it was a machine to transform the target into a...what was it, Twink?"

"I-I don't know, she didn't say anything else, only that the Chaos Emeralds were required to make the machine work." Twink said with a worried face.

"And that Ganondorf, the others and that tank that they're with are going to make an ambush at the "right moment" to capture Sonic and submit him to the machine."

"Did you hear that Sonic?" Knuckles asked (by the way, he lost the race with Storm, much for his dismay and anger). "...Hey, where's that idiot?"

"UuuuuuaaaaaaAAAAAAAAhhhh..." They all heard Sonic yawning as he was laying down on a tree's branch with hands on his back of his head.

"Sonic! Did you hear them?" Tails asked.

"It's not that important, don't worry!"

"But it could be, they could capture you!" Twink said.

"And I just could run the hell out of the way, nobody can catch me, remember?"

Ness made a bored face. "Someday, your attitude will get you, trust me."

"Whatever! Tails! Knuckles! Are you ready to go to Soleanna?" Sonic asked.

"B-but what about Dr. Eggman here? He has all the Chaos Emeralds!" Tails said.

"Not to mention you're not my boss!" Knuckles added.

"Tsk," Sonic jumped from the tree's branch and landed between them. "Well, since you 2 want to stay here, it's not my problem."

"(...It's my fault that Sonic is behaving like this?)" Chris thought worried.

"And what about that hawk guy?" Pikachu asked.

"All that matters to me is that he can go to hell." Sonic said waving a hand.

And suddenly, high up in a tree, there was Jet, Wave (somewhat not focused) and Storm, who jumped down using their boards and appeared in front of all of the-

"YOU!" Jet yelled angrily stomping the floor towards Falco. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?!"

"Hey! I gave her her "special" night like she wanted, didn't I?" Falco asked with a glare.

"And how did you know it was Falco?" Amy asked.

"OH, YOU TELL ME!" Jet said pointing at her sister.

"Falco... Aww... Falco..." Wave said dreamily as everyone sweatdropped.

Pichu looked at Falco with a bored look. "...What did you tell her?"

"Well, I told her she was pretty, she was cute, she made really good french bread yesterday and..." Falco facepalmed. "Dammit! Why the hell did I need to listen to Amy with her whispers?!"

Amy giggled. "C'mon, you totally got her this time!"

"AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM!" Jet yelled furiously. "I HAD PLANS FOR HER TO CARRY OUT, AND ALL SHE COULD DO YESTERDAY WAS TO SAY YOUR HORRIBLY, STUPID, IDIOT AND DORK NAME ALL THE NIGHT REPEATEDLY!"

Falco crossed his arms and made a nastier glare to Jet. "What's that?"

"HORRIBLY, STUPID, IDIOT AND DORK NAME!" Jet yelled taunting shoving his face to Falco's face.

"OH, WANT TO TAKE IT OUT HERE?!" Falco asked cracking his fists.

"WHY NOT?! BRING IT!" Jet yelled before both birds began to fight in a cloud of smoke with punches, kicks, jabs, uppercuts and pretty much everything else as both groups watched the dispute.

"Um... Boss?" Storm asked getting closer to the cloud.

Jet's head stuck out and glared at Storm, before Falco took him back. "WHAT?!"

"It's really...um...necessary to fight here with that guy?"

"BUT OF COURSE! AAAHHH! NO LOW-HITS, YOU CHEATER!"

"W-Wave! Aren't you gonna do something?!" Storm asked turning to Wave. "...WAVE!"

"Falco... Aww... Falco..." Wave repeated dreamily.

Lucas and Ness looked away and looked to each other with not-interested looks. "...Ness...isn't this stupid?"

"She's off in her own little world." Ness replied.

Just then, C. Falcon came in with his Extreme Gear, stepped on the ground and looked at the fight. "Wait, are you betting? Because I want to bet on who's winning."

"This isn't a game, Falco is beating Jet up!" Chris said annoyed.

"Go! Right there! Yes! You got him!" Popo said punching the air as Nana faceplamed.

"Boss!" Storm's stupidity came at the worst moment. "You can beat him, he's just a wimp with good looks and actually dresses, not like you or me!"

"SHUT UP, YOU DUMBA-AAAHHH!!!" Jet yelled in pain before punching Falco in the face.

"Isn't fighting for the love of a girl just romantic?" Amy asked blinking with joined hands.

Nana looked at her. "I'm pretty sure it i-wait! That's not the point here!"

"And are you going to do something, Sonic?" C. Falcon asked.

"Why?" Sonic asked with a grin. "This is really entertaining."

"...My friend, you're absolutely right." C. Falcon said doing a high-five with Sonic as Ness frowned.

Twink went to Wave. "So, aren't you going to do something to your boyfriend?"

"I'M NOT HER BOYFRIEND!" Falco yelled angrily.

"...Aww..." Wave was still in her own little world.

"That's it!" Chris said changing to his Scholar job, where he began to flip the pages of his book and found a spell. "Fall, small bolt! Thunder!"

ZAP!

"AAHHH!!!" Wave yelled in pain after a small bolt fell from the sky and on her. "W-what the hell was that?!"

"Hello?! Jet is beating Falco!" Twink said motioning to the cloud.

"What the-JET! STOP THIS MOMENT AND LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Wave yelled to the cloud which kept ignoring her. "JET!"

"SHUT UP!" Jet yelled.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Wave yelled out loud and leaped inside the cloud, where it got bigger and more punches came from inside.

Pikachu looked to Chris. "Hey, I thought you weren't going to use that job again!"

"This is pissing me off!" Chris argued as he adjusted his glasses. "Besides, I cannot tolerate such attitude being displayed here!"

"Oh brother, he's starting to talk like a geek." Popo said.

"I am not a geek!"

"Then talk normally like you do!" Pichu said.

"Forget about him, what about Falco?" Ness asked pointing at the cloud.

Something that shocked everyone was that Jet crawled his way out of the cloud, very badly beaten up as he panted and wiped out the blood from his beak. "M-man...if you get in Wave's way you'll get punched and fataly wounded..."

Storm looked down at his brother and got him up. "B-Boss...if you are here...then who's punching the bird?"

Jet looked back at the cloud. "...Uh-oh..."

"AND TAKE THIS! AND THAT! AND THIS TOO, YOU WORTHLESS, PIECE OF CRAP!" Wave yelled inside the cloud as it slowly cleared up, everyone's jaws dropped a little after seeing Wave holding the unconscious Falco by his throat, also, she was almost going to punch his eye. "...OH MY GOD OF BABYLON!"

"Falco!" Chris ran to Falco and looked to his eyes, who were swirls at this moment. "A-are you alright?"

"Tell the marine to attack the patroon! Wohoo! I'm the biggest captain of the worrrrrrllllddddd!!!" Falco said dazzled as he fainted.

Most of them chuckled, unlike Popo, who rolled around laughing and of course, Wave who only blinked embarrassed.

"F-FALCO! PLEASE! ANSWER ME! I-I DIDN'T MEAN TO, I THOUGHT YOU WERE THAT BASTARD OF MY BROTHER!" Wave said shaking Falco by his shoulders.

"Hey!" Jet said angrily.

"...It's no use, he passed out for this stupid quarrel." Chris said knocking Falco's forehead a little.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, DAMMIT!" Wave yelled angrily as she lunged to her brother and...continued to beat him up.

"A-ARGH! ACK! S-STORM! YOU USELESS PIECE OF SCRAPPED METAL, HELP MEEEEE!!!" Jet pleaded.

"U-umm...." Storm bega to think.

Twink got an idea and sneaked behind his back. "You know, he's been bad with you, beat him up." Twink whispered like a bad guy.

"Well..."

Twink went to the other shoulder and whispered: "I agree, beat him up."

"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!" Storm yelled out loud before joining the fight of his brother and sister as Twink laughed at this.

"Twink!" Geno said angry.

"Heheheheh! Sorry! I couldn't resist anymore!" Twink said chuckling.

Sonic looked down to Falco. "...What now?"

"Oh, let me help, let's see..." Chris flipped through his book and found a spell. "Hmm, this should be helpful... Now... Heal the wounds... Cure!" Chris casted a white light on Falco and it recovered him a little, enough to make him recover his conscience.

"My head...everything is spinning..." Falco said shaking his head. "...What happened?"

"Jet and accidentaly Wave punched you to death."

"WHAT?!" Falco asked standing up quickly as Sonic pointed at the 3 brothers fighting with each other as the avian cracked his fists. "HE IS SO DEAD! AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Falco lunged to the 3 and another cloud appeared between the 4, now all the birds were fighting...though 3 were beating up the green one.

"Chris! Do something! I can't stand this anymore!" Pichu said burying his face on his hands.

And suddenly...

"(...Wait, in a time like this? Who is it now?)" Chris thought as his voice echoed.

"(H-huh? W-what's happening?)"

"(...Is that you, Pichu?)"

"(Chris?)"

"(Then... Pichu! We discovered your first Combinated Final Smash!)"

"(R-really? And first than Pikachu! Hurray!)"

"(Do you know how the attack goes, right?)"

Pichu looked worried. "(...B-but, it looks dangerous! It's not going to hurt me, right?)"

"(Not until we see it...let's hope it's not what you think...)"

"O-okay, I'm ready!" Pichu said jumping to Chris's right hand.

"Okay...now..." Chris chanted silently and focused his magic on Pichu, who put his hands close to each other and blue sparks began to gather around his body before he was covered in pure sparks, then Chris made a pitcher pose by preparing to shoot Pichu like a baseball...yes, awkward to imagine using the Scholar job. "Zap my enemy!"

"Spark Bullet!" Pichu added as Chris quickly shot Pichu like a rapid bullet to the 4 birds who got zapped and electrocuted severly with great lightning damage as they yelled in great pain. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Pichu yelled as he stopped after he traveled a certain distance, the small mouse blinked and then smiled. "It didn't hurt!"

"Yes! We discovered it!" Chris said putting his hands on his hips.

New ability learned! Spark Bullet!

Charges magic and turns it into electricity on the user, fires the user at blinding speed after charging up and deals moderate lightning damage to whoever gets in the path of the bullet

"...You know, it was weird to see a move like that for a bookworm." Popo said.

"I am not a bookworm!" Chris argued.

Pikachu got angry. "So Pichu gets his Combinated Final Smash and not me?"

"Jealous?" Pichu asked with a proud smile.

"I-I'm not jealous, no sway!" Pikachu said looking away.

"L-lame..." The 4 birds said moaning in pain as sparks were still coming out from their feathers.

And in that moment, Omochao came down from the sky. "Competitors, please be ready for the next race in this very same spot, repeat, competitors, please be ready for the next race in this very same spot!" Omochao announced.

"But it's not the night yet!" Tails said.

"Oh, really?" Omochao asked pointing at the moon in the sky.

"...What the-I just could have sworn it was morning here a moment ago!" Knuckles said astonished.

"You all are such slowpokes," Omochao stated as everyone groaned in frustration. "Sorry, but you are! Anyway, we have important news, it seems there are some changes around here, Team Sonic will challenge the Babylon Rogues in the next 2 races, this one and the last one, with all their members, including Mr. C. Falcon and...where is Mr. Falco?"

"You mean him?" Knuckles asked pointing at the dead carcasses of the 4 birds.

"...Yeah...those 4 too...a-anyway!" Omochao shook a little. "Please, prepare for the next race, people are anxious to see this event now!" The robotic Chao said before he flew away.

C. Falcon walked to the 4 and kicked them a little bit. "...Chris, could you..."

"I'm on it." Chris said flipping the pages of his book to heal them. "Let's see... Hmm... Remove the bad omen!... Esuna!"

20 minutes later...

The 8 competitors were preparing to begin the race, as the other group was watching from paltforms attached to the trees, along the track, there were robots cheering loudly as well, though they were all on the Babylon Rogues's side.

"GO! GO! SO-NIC! GO! GO! SO-NIC! YAY!" Amy cheered throwing her pom-poms to the air as she cheered, close to where the others were.

"Ugh, please, not here..." Sonic muttered annoyed.

Although there was something or someone that would fire him up in a second.

"Now Sonic," Jet said grinning. "Ready to beg?"

"I want to see that, but from you instead!" Sonic said smirking.

"Oh, brother..." Chris said.

"This is going to be a race to remember...sadly." Nana said sighing with the young Smashers.

"And the same incident we had with C. Falcon it's repeating," Pikachu said remembering. "By the way, we're actually doing something, right?"

"O-of course." Lucas said.

We now see the teams, and both the avian and the racer, arguing sometimes with each other.

"You're not going to get away with this like last time, dork!" Knuckles argued to Storm.

"Ha! Little red mutt is gonna burst into anger again?" Storm asked with a smirk.

Tails quickly held Knuckles by the arms, but with no success because he was being dragged. "YOU CALLED ME A RED MUTT?! COME OVER HERE AND SAY IT TO ME!"

"K-Knuckles! Please, calm down! You're overreacting!" Tails said struggling.

"LET ME GO, DAMMIT!" Knuckles argued as he just kept walking forward.

"...Sooo..." Falco crossed his arms and looked at Wave, who was staring deeply to his eyes. "...Are you feeling okay?"

"Close to you, you bet your voice I am..." Wave said sighing with pleasure.

"...C. Falcon, do something to help me out." Falco whispered to the captain who was behind him.

"Oh," C. Falcon snapped his fingers and grinned. "Keep looking that way please."

"...Okay?" Falco said staring away from Wave as C. Falcon walked to Wave. "...What?"

"Turn around."

"Fin-mhmmmhm!!!" Once Falco turned his head, he accidentaly kissed Wave right on her mouth, because C. Falcon pushed her closer to him as she backed away with small pupils on her eyes, causing the blue avian to blush as he backed away from the spot. "B-BLUAAAAHH!!!"

"A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aww..." Wave blushed as she quickly hummed happily and went for her Extreme Gear.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! NOW SHE'S GONNA THINK CRAZY THINGS ABOUT ME!"

C. Falcon chuckled. "But hey, you should admit it, you liked that fast kiss."

"I-I DIDN'T!" Falco said blushing even more.

"Oh, my! Did you see that?!" Amy asked shaking Nana.

"I-I saw that, stop shaking me!" Nana said.

"Competitors, please, prepare!" Omochao said waving a checkered flag and everyone got in their positions.

Green Cave

"Finally, no more romance and actual action," Pikachu said jumping to Chris's shoulder. "Aw, if something Ash taught me really well was to get a great view from someone's shoulder."

"Aw, you look cute when you're closer." Chris said rubbing Pikachu's head.

"H-hey, stop that..." Pikachu said, although a hand rubbing his head was just too much as his tail began to wag.

"I-I want appreciation too!" Pichu said jumping to the other shoulder as Chris did the same with him. "Oh...yes..."

"Awkward." Ness, Lucas, Geno, Twink, Popo and Nana said with bored looks.

"You call me awkward? He does this with Lucario even more and you don't say that to him?!" Pikachu asked with a glare.

"Of course we don't, because he'll kill us in a quick but painful death." Ness said.

"A-and partly because he's scary when he's angry." Lucas added trembling a little.

"Ugly when he's angry." Popo added.

"...Whatever, who asked you anyway? A little more to the left, Chris!" Pikachu said as Chris listened him.

[DededeCloneChris]

"3...2...1...GO!" Omochao said waving his flag as the 8 competitors accelerated at full speed towards the track...though someone was bothering Falco.

"Hey! Leave me alone, will you?" Falco asked trying to get away from Wave.

"Why?" Wave asked with a smile as her eyes turned into hearts. "I shall follow you to the ends of the earth if it is necessary, aww..."

"Somebody help me!" Falco yelled accelerating ahead with Wave following him.

We now see a heated battle between the green hawk and blue hedgehog.

"HA! See ya!" Jet said sticking out his tongue to Sonic, who made a serious face and used his boost to catch up with the hawk. "Oh no, you don't!" Jet said passing by Sonic's left side.

"Got ya!" Sonic said snapping his fingers as he used his Spin Dash to damage Jet several times, dropping his speed greatly as Sonic stuck out his tongue as a response.

"GRRR! YOU STUPID HEDGEHOG!" Jet cursed as he used his boost to regain his velocity.

Meanwhile, both Knuckles and Storm were fighting against each other rather than accelerating, though they were still on the track.

"DODGE THIS!" Storm yelled angrily as Knuckles evaded his right fist. "PESKY LITTLE MUTT, STOP MOVING AROUND!"

"WHY DON'T YOU TRY AND PUNCH FOR REAL THIS TIME?!" Knuckles yelled furiously as he tried to do the same, but Storm evaded all his punches.

"Man, can't you guys stop fighting?" Tails asked appearing from behind as he went further ahead. "This is a race, not an arena!"

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, SHORTY!" Storm yelled as Knuckles managed to land a punch on his face. "WHY YOU LITTL-"

A toon vein popped out from Tails's forehead and he made a glare. "Fine, I'm leaving you 2 if you excuse me..." And the 2-tailed fox did that.

"Heh," C. Falcon grinned as he passed the 2. "This race isn't going to be so hard with you 2 fighting, just 5 more and I'll win." C. Falcon said chuckling as he went away.

Both Knuckles and Storm stopped fighting and saw C. Falcon using a ramp, where he jumped a made his maneuvers. "...Truce?" Storm asked.

"Grr, truce, but only for THIS time!" Knuckles said accelerating to get away from the albatross...

...Albeit to say, both started fighting again in 5 seconds when they were close to each other.

"Jet is using his amazingly blinding speed!" Omochao said as Jet was using the rails to get ahead of the race, where Sonic was following him from behind.

"Oh? You want to see blinding speed?" Sonic asked with a grin (as familiar voices that came from the finish line yelled the negative of yes). "Here you got it! HAA!" Sonic used his Spin Dash on the rails and was blasted off with "blinding speed" as he went along the way, Jet noticed a sudden wind and looked behind before yelling in pain, the hawk yelled as he was pushed out of the rail and fell to the abyss. "Heheh! See you later!"

Jet came back to the track by...appearing on it again? "Just you wait until I smack you down with my fans!"

"FANS!" Ness yelled chuckling before many of them bursted out laughing out loud.

"W-WHO ASKED YOU FOR YOUR OPINION?!"

"Fans are for pussies!" Popo yelled as he rolled around the platform, clumsily rolling to the edge where he fell to the track, however, even the pain couldn't stop him from laughing.

"I'LL GET YOU LATER, BUT FIRST THE HEDGEHOG!" Jet yelled angrily as he used his full boost to catch up with the others, who were far away from him since he was dropped to 8th place.

"RAAAAAAAAMP!" Falco yelled loudly as he tried to get Wave away from him, but he was able to jump high and did 2 Kickflips and a Heelflip. "Yes! Now we're talking!"

"Wait for me my beloved!" Wave yelled from behind as Falco watched her rocketing to the air, surprisingly, Wave had all the time necessary to make a Varial Kickflip while she spun, doing a 1440 and landed, making the crowd to go wild. "Did you see that?"

"...I'm sure as hell..." Falco said nodding.

Just then, C. Falcon appeared from behind and grinned. "See? You're falling for the girl now, that's progress man, progress!" C. Falcon said as he accelerated.

Falco blushed and glared at the captain. "S-shut up! That's not true!"

"Wait until the day of our wedding." Wave asked leaning to him.

"UAH! G-GET AWAY FROM ME!" Falco said accelerating.

"The competitors are having a heated match this time in this track, Tails is getting lead as C. Falcon comes in 2nd place, then we see Sonic in 3rd, followed by Jet in 4th, Knuckles and Storm at 5th place both and the lovebirds, Falco and Wave at 7th!" Omochao announced as many aww'd at this.

"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Falco yelled.

"Pikachu." Ness winked at Pikachu who was holding his camera while Chris was still rubbing his head.

"Yep, everything safe and recorded, wait until we torment him with this beautiful and funny memory." Pikachu said as his tail wagged.

"...Popo! Get up here now!" Nana yelled to his brother who stopped laughing and climbed his way to the platform, before the 8 racers came from the other side and reached the second lap.

"Second lap," Chris said. "At this rate, I think either Tails or Captain Falcon will win."

Sonic's right ear twitched a little. "What did you say? I'm gonna win here!"

"Oh, shut up!" Jet said. "Who's the best at the Extreme Gear? It's me, obviously!"

"Who asked you? Besides, at this rate, you're gonna fall and trip on your own feet!" Sonic taunted with a smirk.

Geno looked at the others. "...If he ever joins us...do you think he will do that a lot with all our enemies?"

"There's a 97 percent he will...wait," Twink went to Chris who whispered in his ear. "No, 97.6 percent he will."

"...In some ways, I like Sonic." Lucas admitted.

"And in some ways, I want to smack him to death," Nana said as Amy glared at her. "It's my opinion!"

"Oh?" Amy called her Piko Piko Hammer. "Want to say that again?"

Nana took out her own hammer. "Bring it, girl! AAAAAHHHH!!!"

Both pink girls began to fight in a cloud of dust as we see Popo eating popcorn besides the cloud with Twink.

"Don't you love when your sister fights?" Popo asked.

"I don't have a sister, but yes!" Twink said.

Back at the race...

"Think you can do something with those 6 behind?" C. Falcon asked to Tails who looked behind, where Knuckles and Storm were fighting as they sometimes collided, Sonic and Jet fighting with their big egos and Falco trying to get Wave off him. "This isn't a race with just the 2 of us!"

"But people here are actually enjoying this much...how do you say it? Randomness?" Tails asked looking at the various trees with people cheering louder than usual at the 3 events. "...And come to think of it, the crowd is much more focused than the last race in the Egg Factory."

"Yeah, but I want my challenge! A true race! I didn't get this Extreme Board for nothing!"

"Firstly, it's Extreme GEAR, secondly, what do you expect me to do? If I tell Sonic to stop doing that, he'll ignore me, if I try to stop Knuckles, all I'm going to get it's a very black eye, and if I stop Falco from...well...technically, he is fine."

"I'M NOT! HELP!" Falco yelled as he used a ramp to do his maneuvers, however, Wave kept following him doing a lot of complicated maneuvers that caught Falco's eye. "...Hey, she isn't that bad with the board..."

C. Falcon got a lightbulb above his head. "...Now I see what can make him..."

"And then, what do you want me to do?" Tails asked noticing that C. Falcon was ignoring him. "H-hey! I'm talking to you!"

"Shh! Shut up fox boy, I'm trying to think." C. Falcon said thinking.

Tails glared at him. "How rude! I'm leaving you behind then!"

"No, wait!"

"What?"

"Don't you see it?" C. Falcon asked pointing at the 2 birds. "Falco appeared to be interested in her once she did all those crazy but awesome maneuvers in the air...now I know how to get those 2 closer to each other..."

Tails facepalmed. "Please, tell me you're NOT going t-"

"See you later!" C. Falcon said dropping his speed to get closer to Wave, Falco sighed in relief and went ahead to catch up with Tails. "Hey, you there."

"What is it jerk? Can't you see I'm busy?" Wave asked rudely.

"Actually, I wanted to give you a hint." C. Falcon suggested with a wink.

"Look, I'm not into superheroes, what do you think I am? 6? You can go away and save a cat from a tree."

"(Must...resist...temptation...to strangle...) A-anyway...want to know how to get my friend interested in you?"

At that moment, Wave pulled C. Falcon closer to her face and shook him violently. "TELL ME! TELL ME NOW OR I'LL KILL YOU! I'M CRAZY FOR THAT GUY!"

C. Falcon pushed her away as they simply jumped a ramp to get to the other side. "Okay, first, I saw him remarking your skills with the Extreme Board."

"It's Extreme Gear, you retard." Wave said with a bored look.

"Yeah, whatever this thing's called, it seemed that Falco remarked your maneuvers...you know where I'm getting now?"

"...No idea, freak."

C. Falcon sweatdropped. "...Falco likes your maneuvers in the air, if you keep doing that, he will fall for you in a matter of seconds."

Wave blinked in surprise and hugged the captain. "Oh, thank you superhero freak!" Wave said as she accelerated and went ahead.

"Would you stop calling me a superhero or freak or both things combined?!" C. Falcon asked annoyed as he used his boost to catch up with the others.

"Hey, Sonic!" Jet called from behind with 2 big fans.

"S-STOP!" Sonic said shocked before Jet did a hard spin with both fans and...oddly enough, Sonic's body became twisted and fell back behind as Jet stuck out his tongue. "See ya, dork! Mwhahahahahahahah-ack! Hahahahahahahaha!"

"...That effect is physically impossible to make," Chris said adjusting his glasses. "The odds of that happening have little percentages, but I assume the body of the target would boost the chances since Sonic is skinny in some ways."

"Oh, I see." Pichu said.

"...Nerd." Popo commented as he watched the girls's fight.

"...Shut up." Chris muttered annoyed as his glasses shone creepily.

Back at the race again...

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Wave said dropping a dynamite on Storm's hands, the albatross yelled loudly together with Knuckles who were very close to each other before the item exploded, then Wave catched up with Tails and Falco, the latter trying to get away from her.

"Please, please! Just leave me alone! All I want to do is to be alone!" Falco pleaded.

"(Okay Wave, time to get serious this time...just I hope I don't faint by thinking of his soft feathe-)"

"Yohoo! Hey you!" An angel appeared on Wave's left shoulder and knocked her head a little, the angel was actually a little version of herself, who looked annoyed. "Girl, you need to stay focused for REAL this time! Your behavior isn't helping at all if you want a serious relationship with that hot guy!"

A devil that looked like her appeared on the other side and crossed her arms. "Sadly, I have to agree with her, stop studdering, stop thinking of him, be yourself, be the genius Extreme Gear designer you are and he'll fall for you in a matter of-"

"Seconds!" The angel added at the end.

"I-I'll do that! Just give me time!" Wave complained.

"Great!" The devil threw away his costume, since he was trying to mimic Wave's appearance and now was dressed like a mini-pixelated kid with a cape and a gun...and she was an it like the angel. "Now let's go angel, we have to cosplay a weird kid who gets killed many many times in a creepy world of stupid deaths!"

The angel disguised itself as the kid. "Okay, but I don't wanna be that guy, ugh." And both entities disappeared in a blink.

"...Get away from her, she talks by herself." Tails suggested by whispering.

"I just want to have a good and normal race for once, with talented competitors! It's that all hard to ask?!" Falco asked yelling to the night sky.

"Okay!" Wave said putting on her goggles as the crowd gasped dramatically. "You want your race? I'll give you your race, turtle!"

"...Turtle?" Tails and Falco repeated confused.

"So far, Wave has miserably failed to taunt her opponents!" Omochao announced.

"Shut up!" Wave yelled as she saw a ramp, where she grinned and accelerated.

"We can't let her win!" Tails said accelerating together with Falco.

Amy peered from the cloud and smiled. "Yes! I can feel the love!"

"Eww." Twink said backing away from her as Nana stopped fighting with her.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Wave yelled loudly as she rocketed to the air and began to make complicated maneuvers, she did 3 Hardflips, 4 Kickflips, 5 Varial Kickflips, all together while she did a 1780, amazing the crowd, the competitors, and even Falco himself as she landed throwing a fist in the air.

"What's the score, guys?" Pikachu asked as everyone raised a big red "10" sign above them. "Yes!"

"HA!" Jet grinned at Sonic. "Can somebody of your team do that kind of spectacle in the race?!"

"You bet your beak I can!" Sonic said pointing at himself. (Many ignored these 2 characters, by the way).

"WAVE! WAY TO GO!" Storm yelled punching the air.

"Don't get too impressed, the race just started!" Knuckles said accelerating ahead of Storm.

"Finally, we can have a serious race this time!" C. Falcon said as everyone were getting closer to each other.

"...Whoa, that was crazy and at the same time impossible." Tails remarked.

"...She's really good." Falco remarked rubbing his chin as both did not-so complicated maneuvers to gain air.

"(Yes! It's working! It's working! I can't believe it! I can do this! I can!)" Wave cheered inside her mind as she focused on the race.

"Final lap!" Omochao said waving his flag, then the robot flew to the group and held up a mic. "You, kind sir."

"M-m-me?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, do you have any comments of this race between these 8 opponents? Most of them in teams?"

"W-what kind of comments?"

"Like, you know, who do you think is going to win or who has the better skills, etc."

"...Well, I think Tails is g-"

Omochao turned at the spectators. "There you got it! This kind sir thinks Tails is going to win the race, but he's not a speed type racer, how can he win? Let's watch this to the end!"

"UGH! GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY!" Knuckles yelled furiously punching Storm.

"I got a better punch!" C. Falcon said extending his right fist behind him, and behind Storm. "Falcon..."

"Huh? What do you want?" Storm asked before...

"PUNCH!"

"UAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Storm was sent blasting off to the trees where he crashed and saw birds flying around his head. "...Pretty...little...birds..."

"Yes! He's away! I can play the race normally now!" Knuckles said making a fist in the air.

"Aren't you going to thank me?" C. Falcon asked.

"Oh, riiiiight..." Knuckles grinned rather evily as he slowly approached the captain.

"...You okay Knuckles?"

"OUT!" Knuckles said throwing a fist to C. Falcon, who quickly dodged it and used his boost to get ahead. "GET BACK HERE!"

"Geez, you're the fighter type, aren't you?!" C. Falcon asked as he accelerated to get away from Knuckles.

"A-CHOO!" Jet sneezed of Sonic's face and gained the advantage. "Bye!"

"SHIE!" Sonic quickly used his Spin Dash to catch up with Jet, who got in the way of the attack and got severly injured by the dash that he dropped his speed as Sonic gained the lead. "See ya!"

"GRRRRR!!!" Jet used his boost again and continued to fight the hedgehog.

"HA!" Wave jumped very high with another ramp and she did grab moves, combined with flip moves and landed successfully and safely on the floor. "Yes! I'm me this time! I can win!"

"You there!" Falco came from behind and Wave looked at him. "Not bad, I've seen your maneuvers, and I got to say, you're very good."

"T-thank you, I do my best everyday to excel at this sport." Wave said nodding a little embarrassed.

"Heh, hey, you're very good at the board."

"R-really?"

"Yes, come to think of it, I think I'm starting to pick an interest in you."

"...Oh...my..."

Amy jumped on her feet making a fist in the air. "YES! YAY! IT WORKED!"

Chris adjusted his glasses with a small smile. "And we got ourselves a new pairing."

Falco blushed a little and glared. "H-hey, who said we're...I mean..."

"Ba-bye!" Tails said waving the birds with a smile as he went ahead.

"NO FAIR! YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS MOMENT!"

"That's what you get for being clueless!"

"I'M NOT...you know what?! Forget it!"

"All the competitors are now about to finish this race!" Omochao announced as every spectator leaned to the edges of the platform in anticipation for the winner.

"(Wave, you did it! Now you just need to win this race and hopefully his heart!)" Wave thought as she used her boost to get ahead.

"Oh no, even if you impressed me, I'm still going to win this!" Falco said with a grin as he used his last boost.

Wave smiled a little to him. "Well, I'm not going to lose either, and even if it is you whom I racing against!"

"I like your new style, you're far more interesting than the last time I met you! Why can't you be like that around me then?"

"It's because you're the most handsome stud I've ever met!" Wave yelled as everyone around watching the race gasped surprised, the swallow looked around after that. "Yes people! I'm not afraid to say it anymore! I love this guy and he's only for me!"

"Awwww..." The Smashers said in unison together with the spectators as Falco's jaw (or beak) dropped a little in surprise.

The avian shook his head and grinned again. "Who cares? I'm as well going to say that I'm interested in her!"

"WHAT?!" Amy and Nana asked excited with each other, forgetting about the fight they had a moment ago.

"...THE HELL THEY'RE BLABBING ABOUT?!" Jet asked once he listened to their responses, accidentaly dropping the speed of his board.

"Isn't love beautiful?" Twink asked as Amy hugged him together with Nana.

"UGH! WAAAAAAAAVVVVVEEEEEEE!!! YOU FILTHY TRAITOR!"

"SAY WHAT YOU WANT, JERK!" Wave yelled angrily as she noticed C. Falcon passing through her. "Y-YOU!"

"I don't want to feel rather excited about your love, but I have to win this!" C. Falcon said snapping his fingers as Tails saw him getting ahead. "And that counts for you too!"

"They're coming here! All at once!" Pichu said watching the 8 racers coming to the finish line, though Jet was far behind with Storm.

"I have to win!" Sonic said.

"No, I have to!" Jet yelled.

"Let me win this!" Tails said.

"No! None of you, is either me or Falco!" Wave yelled.

"Or let me defeat that guy!" Knuckles yelled pointing at Storm.

"I'll smash you up, mutt!" Storm taunted.

"Or how about me? It's my first time doing this!" Falco asked.

"I'm the original racer here, let me!" C. Falcon yelled.

And finally...

"FINISH!!!" Omochao yelled waving his flag around as many cheers were heard...

...But the screen panned out...

Music stops

Babylon Rogues's Airship
Jet's Cabin

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Jet stomped the floor in rage as Storm shifted his eyes in the sofa, while Wave was leaning to it with a grin. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WE LOST! WE LOST AGAINST THAT STUPID HERO-LOOKING GUY!"

"Admit it Jet," Wave said. "It's not the board who made you lose, after all, I designed it myself."

"Who said it was your useless board anyway?!"

Wave glared at him. "Hey! I created the boards for our team, it's not the board, it's you who sucks at it!"

"WHAT?!"

"You hear me! S-U-C-K-S, sucks!"

"Er, Jet, Wave," Storm called out and they stared at him. "Shouldn't we contact...um... Dr. Veggieman again?"

"It's EGGMAN you dumb bird-brain!" Dr. Eggman said angrily activating the communicator.

"Eggman! I want to get rid of those guys RIGHT NOW!" Jet demanded.

"You shall get what you wish," Ganondorf said as he appeared besides Dr. Eggman. "Everything is ready for the assault tomorrow at the ruins, the weapon to, let us say, "unleash" in Sonic is now ready."

"Together with the tank that we're using." Charizard said with a smirk.

"Excellent!" Jet said with a grin. "Tomorrow, that hedgehog and his bunch of imbeciles will pay for humiliating us!"

"Hohohohohoho!" Dr. Eggmam laughed evil Santa Claus style. "Well well, I see you're already itching to see our weapon! Though if it succeeds, Sonic will be affected only duri-"

"Don't spoil dah surprise!" Dedede said.

"Oh, right, the surprise, yes."

The group was unaware that Wave was taking all of this in mind.

"So Jet, don't worry about the plan tomorrow, just win the race and the path to Babylon Garden will be finally open!" Dr. Eggman said as he lifted up his hands. "And together, we wil-"

"Wait, together we what?" Jet asked raising an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.

"I-ah-mean, you will uncover the secrets of Babylon by my help, yes, that's it! Mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Please, ignore this wacko, his laughs are really weird." Dedede whispered to Jet as Dr. Eggman laughed maniacally.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Let us meet tomorrow and prepare for the plan to carry out," Ganondorf made a fist. "The day that kid's life ends will very soon arrive, together with his group!"

"Everyone is acting so weird today, I swear..." Charizard said frowning as the communication ended.

"...You 2!" Jet called crossing his arms behind his back.

"Yes?" Wave and Storm asked.

"Better get prepared for tomorrow, got it?"

"Fine you little brat," Wave said getting up and walked towards the door. "If you excuse me, I have to tell Falco something very important I just heard a minute ago."

"What the-Wave! Stop right there!" Jet yelled.

"What is it?" Wave asked.

"You're going to warn them about the plan, am I right?!"

Storm carefully hid behind the sofa.

"So what are you going to do if I do that?" Wave asked.

"If you do that, I swear I'll kill that Falco with my bare hands!"

"Just try it! We know here he'll beat you up, he's very strong after all!"

"Wave, don't think about what you are going to do!"

"Make me!" Wave yelled running away as Jet ran after her.

"You're not getting away!" Jet's voice was heard as both left the room, and Storm with it.

Storm carefully and slowly stood up, then he looked around confused. "...Please lord of Babylon," Storm prayed to the sky. "Make my brothers and me a happy family again, I don't want more fights please, our fathers don't want us to fight between us...please...hear me out..."

The next day...

Sand Ruins
Altars

"Now, our race has reached its final stage. The remaining competitors are pacing, anxious for the race to begin. Only a few minutes left. Who will win this big event?" Omochao asked as the crowd cheered loudly at this.

"It's kind of cheating because of us." C. Falcon said.

"I say, who cares?" Falco asked.

It was the final leg of the race, the same competitors from the night were appointed to participate in the last race to prove who was the one who could be the winner of the torunament.

But Kawashima wasn't all that excited.

"You all have to be careful, something is really bothering me now..." Kawashima warned them.

"Why?" Chris asked.

"Something big is approaching at full speed to this location..."

Pikachu gathered sparks. "Then let's get serious this time."

"I totally agree." Nana said taking out her hammer with Popo.

"Isn't this ironic? Sonic said he was going to leave and yet he's here still participating." Pichu said.

"Well," Amy began. "Sonic isn't the kind of guy who leaves Dr. Eggman behind doing his schemes, in the end, Sonic would be no one without the doctor."

"True enough, Amy, true enough." Chris remarked adjusting his glasses.

"Sonic! Congratulations! I'll be over here, cheering you on!" Amy cheered from the seats as Sonic made a thumbs-up with a grin. "Aww..." Amy instantly fainted and Popo kicked her head a little.

"Yup, she's passed out." Popo said.

"Ugh." Sonic shrugged and walked to the altar with a Chaos Emerald in hand, to his left side, Jet came in and held his emerald as both glared at each other.

"And now," Dr. Eggman appeared on the television of the ruins and the crowd looked at him. "It's time for the final event! And it's set here...in Sand Ruins! The rules are still the same; anything goes in this extreme race! Although it needs no further explanation, the first one to reach the goal will win this race!"

"I bet he has something in mind." Ness said with a glare.

"I-I'm going to do my best." Lucas said with a serious face.

"So am I." Geno said adjusting his hand.

"Do not forget about me and my dexterity." Chris said adjusting his glasses.

"Change jobs, now." Everyone said.

"H-hey!"

"But remember," Dr. Eggman began raising a finger. "The prize will be won by the racer who's performed the best throughout this competition!"

"I bet Wave won the race," Falco said as mentioned character walked to him, but normally. "Hey there."

"Hi, it's good to see you again." Wave said with a smile.

"Wave!" Jet called from behind.

"Oh, shut up!" Wave yelled as Jet cursed and went to the altar, far from Sonic. "Falco, I need to tell you something important, it's really necessary."

"What?" Falco asked.

"Eggman and Jet, together with those weird guys are planning to do something with Sonic, Dr. Eggman made a machine that he's going to use in Sonic to transform him into something, what's more, the guys will bring a tank that will attack you and try to destroy you at the same time!"

Twink was conveniently around them and smiled. "I have to tell the others!" Twnik said as he flew to the group and informed them about the plan.

"I knew something was wrong around here." Falco muttered.

"...Falco, you didn't." C. Falcon pointed out.

"Shut up!" Falco said before smiling a little at Wave. "Anyway, thanks for the information, wish you good luck in the race," Wave quickly hugged him. "H-hey, no need to get all emotional..."

"...Oh," Wave stopped and blushed. "...Sorry..."

"Heh, don't get embarrassed, I enjoyed it."

"...Thanks." Wave muttered as she walked away, waving at Falco.

"Man, you got her this time." C. Falcon remarked.

"Well, I may as well accept a girl this time."

"Congratulations to you for that." C. Falcon said doing a high-five with Falco.

Jet glared at this moment, but then grinned at Sonic once they were in the altar. "Hah, you're lucky you got this far. It obviously wasn't due to your, "skills." Jet taunted with a smirk.

Sonic replied with a smirk. "Heh, I won't lose now."

Both of them put their emeralds in the altar, glared at each other and ran to the finish line.

"Hohoho! Get ready; it's time for the final race to begin!" Dr. Eggman announced as the crowd cheered while the 8 competitors prepared to begin.

"You lost already, hedgehog!" Jet taunted as he walked behind.

"I could say the same!" Sonic taunted.

"I'll get you out this time!" Storm taunted.

"Just bring it, bird-brain!" Knuckles taunted.

"Oh no, not another Wolf to deal with," Falco said frowning. "Anyway, good luck to you."

"Heheheh, thanks, you too." Wave said with a small chuckle. (Jet was mad off at this moment).

"I'll be careful this time." Tails said with a nod.

"Just stay on the track, or better yet, watch me win." C. Falcon said.

"You do that." Tails said with a wink.

"3!" Omochao called and the 8 prepared to run. "2!" The spectators prepared to yell loudly as they were preparing to dash. "1!" The Smashers shifted their eyes in an unusual manner as the 8 began to dash. "GO!"

Babylon Garden

"YES!" Sonic said gaining the lead of the start, the crowd cheered loudly and the Smashers left the seats (Amy following them since she was concerned as well), walking outside the ruins.

The air of the sand was seen around the dunes, there were 2 roads, one for the track, and one for public use, they looked around their surroundings and took fighting stances.

"...This is...very calm..." Lucas said.

"Be on your guard, I don't like this silence." Geno said looking around.

"Sonic is informed of the situation," Amy said with hammer ready. "Tails gave me and him these small but important mini-walkie-talkies to stay in communication."

"Good, that is perfect." Chris said.

"Yes guys, I can hear you loud and clear!" Sonic called from Amy's communicator.

"Good luck, don't get distracted please!" Lucas yelled.

"Hey! I'm not going to get distracte-hey! Jet! Get over here!"

The group sighed in unison.

"...Oh no..." Pichu felt trembles coming from the sand. "...Something is coming!"

"The Subspace Bomb! It's getting closer!" Kawashima alarmed them as the same tank from before came to the ruins.

"This," Ganondorf appeared from the tank with the other 2 and each one of them stood besides the tank, that slowly transformed into something. "Is your last warning, stop getting in our way and we will not use brute force!!!"

"Here they come, stay focused!" Chris warned the group as their eyes widened (except Sonic's) when they saw the tank finishing his transformation. "Oh...NO!!!"

"That was a rather fast entry," Geno said. "But...what in the love of Eldstar is that thing?!"

"It's huge!" Popo commented.

"It's scary!" Pichu said trying to gather sparks.

"It's mechanical!" Pikachu said glaring at the machine while the villains chuckled evily.

"It looks like Donkey Kong in some ways!" Ness said gathering PSI energy on his right hand.

"(...But why is that familiar to me?)" Lucas asked in his mind.

"Prepare!" Charizard said smirking evily. "This machine it's probably the most, hardest Subspace enemy you have faced so far!"

"CODENAME, GALLEOM!" The machine said looking down at the Smashers, revealing its name. "SUBSPACE WEAPON, HOLDER OF THE FIFTH STAR SPIRIT, PERMANENT AND MAIN TRAVELING WEAPON, MASSIVE WEIGHT OF HEAVY METAL AND ASSIGNATED TO TAKE OUT OR KILL SMASHERS, ALONG WITH THE WORLD TRAVELER!"

"M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-me?!" Chris asked trembling.

"AFFIRMATIVE!" Galleom said standing up.

Ganondorf walked to it and pressed some buttons. "Next time, try not to yell."

"Understood, Lord Ganondorf."

"Ya guys are dead, dead!" Dedede said swinging his hammer.

"Surrender, we are far more stronger with all of us fighting against plagues like you!" Ganondorf said gathering dark energy on his hands.

"...E-even so, we'll fight!" Ness said determined. "We're many, that's a point!... Right guys?" Ness asked a little scared.

"I guess so," Nana said. "But all we can do now is plan our strategies well, and the Final Smashes as well, they're important!"

"L-leave that to me then," Chris said raising his hand. "I shall use magic and study the enemy's weaknesses!"

"Ya think yer hammers are better than mine?" Dedede asked taking out his hammer as the hammer wielders (Popo, Nana and Amy) glared at him. "Well, guess what, they ain't stronger than mine, nooooooo way!"

"Shut up and let me smack you but really good!" Amy said swinging her hammer a little.

"We'll freeze you, then-" Nana said.

"Smash you to bits!" Popo finished nodding with Nana.

"Good," Pikachu said glaring at Charizard who glared at him, both groups glared at each other before dashing. "ATTAAAAAAAAAACK!"

"CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!" Dedede yelled charging together with the 3 to the Smashers...

...But...what will happen next?

Preview of the next chapter

"What in the name of god is that?!" Knuckles asked.

"We can't get sidetracked, we need to finish the race first!" C. Falcon said.

...

"Hey, mind if I join the fight?" Sonic asked with a smirk.

"FOR MY OWN GOOD, PLEASE!" Ness yelled from Galleom's fist.

...

"U-UUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"SONIC! NO!" Chris yelled worried as Sonic lost consciousness.

"Hohohohohoho!" Dr. Eggman smirked evily. "Now, the hedgehog's DNA has been altered!"

"...What?"

...

"...My...head...everything..."

"...Chris? Chris?!" Sonic said multiple times before the World Traveler...

...

"The next chapter is: Galleom deployed!" Storm said.
