Chapter 102: The Odyssey of Snake and the Axem Rangers

Hallway

"Quick, Snake, you need to think of something, your cover will be blown up!" Otacon whispered.

"What the hell do you think I'm going to do now?" Snake asked irritated as Sonic grabbed the box. "Screw it, I'll paralyze them."

"...Okay, but you should take out Sonic first since he's faster and can alert everyone here."

Battle in the Base

"And here we g-UGH!" Sonic was grabbed quickly by Snake who sprang from the box and covered his mouth, the others gasped as the mercenary backed away.

"W-who are you?!" Red asked.

"You don't need to know," Snake said as he looked to Sonic who was trying to get off from his arms. "Now get a rest."

"MHMHMHMHMHMHMHMHMmhmhmmh...hmm..." Sonic was paralyzed by a tazer that Snake used on his back and the hedgehog fainted, Snake setting him free.

"That should do the job."

"Why did you do that? Answer me!" Ivysaur asked glaring at Snake.

"I don't have time to deal with a kid, 2 monsters and that fat-nosed man."

"T-that was insulting you know..." Olimar sniffing a little.

"Be a man, please!" Squirtle yelled as Snake ran to them, Squirtle charged his Water Gun and shot a stream of water to Snake, who dodged it quickly and passed them, grabbing Red from his back. "Hey!"

"HULP MUUUUUUU!!!" Red yelled under Snake's hand before the mercenary took him ou as well, the Pokemon Trainer fainted and layed down on the floor.

"You bastard! Stop that!" Ivysaur demanded using Razor Leaf, but Snake evaded the move by rolling away. "Okay, stop dodging everything, Olimar! Help us!"

"...I-I'm not a fat-nosed man...I-I'm not a fat-nosed man..." Olimar muttered in a corner extremely depressed.

Both Pokemon sweatdropped and looked to each other. "...Oh man..."

"Yes, it's sad to see him like this..." Squirtle said with a frown and a bored look.

However, this distraction was enough for Snake to paralyze Squirtle on his neck, then he used a quick chop of Ivysaur's neck, both Pokemon's eyes widened before they fainted as well.

Snake cleared his hands and looked at his fainted opponents. "Well, that wasn't that troubling at all."

Final Fantasy Vlll - The Spy

"What about Olimar?" Otacon asked before Mei Ling got in again.

"Snake, have you ever heard of the ancient Chinese story, "The Vain Ocean of Wealth and Splendor" from the Zhen Zhong Ji?" Mei Ling asked.

"I've been waiting for the movie." Snake as Otacon frowned.

"Basically, it's meant to express the impermanence of all things. You know, like even when Captain Olimar has lots of Pikmin with him, they could all be gone the next moment. Those poor little guys, they carry, they fight, they multiply...and they get eaten. Olimar might have lots of company one minute and be all alone the next. It's so sad.

Snake looked at Olimar who was...feeling kind of emo right now. "...What's he doing now?"

"I'm not a fat-nosed man..." Olimar kept saying very depressed, not caring about Snake at all.

"...Well...you kind of hurt his feelings Snake." Mei Ling pointed out.

"Tsk, like I care."

"Snake..." Otacon and Mei Ling said at the same time with a frown as the mercenary kept going onward, leaving 4 fainted characters and a fat-nosed ma-I mean, a depressed Olimar behind.

"I'm not a fat-nosed man..." Olimar kept saying depressed.

It was not long before Snake saw the pink puffball, Kirby, with a dazzled look on his face, Snake had to hide on his box as Kirby passed in front of him. "Snake! Watch out!" Otacon warned him, making Snake jump a little in surprise.

"For what? That pink marshmallow?" Snake asked rolling his eyes.

"That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land," Otacon explained. "He's from another planet, in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run."

Kirby was now drooling and Snake had to raise an eyebrow.

"Snake, did you even listen to me?" Otacon asked.

"...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll keep an eye out."

Otacon "hmm'd" as Snake went deeper, getting pass the pink puffball

"Friiiiiiiidge..." Kirby drooled once he made it to the kitchen.

However, there was a yellow character already shuffling around the fridge.

"Oh boy," Axem Yellow said drooling to his weird and oddly-shaped mouth. "Turkeys, chicken, soups, salads, everything! It's heaven! But what can I eat first?! EVERYTHING IS SO FRIGGIN' DELICIOUS-LOOKING!"

Now Kirby was mad, there was an eater on his own territory, he could get in his way to grab all the food and leave nothing behind, the Star Warrior got really serious and an angry face took his expression, the puffball walked towards Axem Yellow who grabbed a strawberry cake, Kirby was gathering his forces to attack, this was now it, the moment of the truth for the little black hole wielder.

With a deep breath, Axem Yellow stopped on his trails, looked shocked at Kirby who then spoke his words.

"You idiot!" Kirby said angrily. "You don't start first with the cake, you start first with the chicken, then soup, then the cake!"

"Oh, right!" Axem Yellow said "smiling" as he put back the cake on the fridge. "I'm an idiot, such an stupid idiot, it's the chicken, then soup, then cake at the end!"

Kirby smiled and patted his back. "Yup, that's how it is, now, let's eat this feast for ourselves!"

"Oh boy, chinese rice!" Axem Yellow pointed at the rice and both of their eyes glittered with glee.

"That's EVEN better than the chicken!"

And both eaters began to eat the endless food together on the table, all alone without nobody else caring about them at the least.

Burps were only heard through the kitchen, somebody could even hear them far away, even in the Smash Mansion...and nobody cared whatsoever.

Hallway

There was a door that was occasionally trembling by itself, it was the broom room where the young Smashers and Raven were hiding.

"So Kirby basically ran off from us and went directly to the kitchen." Pikachu summarized as Jigglypuff nodded.

"He can't hold on that long apparently." Jigglypuff explained.

"Why couldn't you find another place with bigger space?" Raven asked sweating, since he was the taller one of the whole group, he was hidden behind the piled-up Smashers. "It's getting kinda hot in here."

"Sorry, this is the last place where somebody'd find you." Toon Link pointed out.

"Aw man, this sucks, this sucks in so many levels, so many levels that I could NOT get to."

Not long he said that, footsteps were heard from the hallway and they gasped silently.

"Can I ask something?" Lucas said a little bit annoyed.

"Yeah." Pichu said.

"Why did we decide to protect Raven again?"

"Because, blondy, he has superior bow skills that he could teach us any day, and if he gets away, then we'll be no impressive Smashers!" Toon Link said.

"W-wait, you're blonde too!" Lucas protested.

Raven grinned. "Aw, that's cute kids, protectin' your only teacher with superior bow skills, now you're even better than that Karol kid."

"Show off," Nana said annoyed. "We just cheered on you, Toon Link only wanted to know your skills and only him."

"It's LINK!" Toon Link said angrily.

"It's the same." Ness said.

"No is not!"

"Shh! Guys, someone's coming!" Pichu whispered desperated as they all stopped talking.

"Raven?" Estelle's voice was heard coming along with Etna from behind. "Where are you?"

"(Yep, that's Estelle for you, no doubt about it.)" Raven thought.

"Geez, stop asking for him every second please, it's the 58th time already." Etna said quite annoyed.

"Oh," Estelle bowed. "Sorry, but I'm so worried about him, ever since Rita...well...tried to do her things with him, I've been so worried about him ever since and I don't want him get hurt either."

"(Oh, Estelle, you're such a cutie pie.)" Raven thought with toon tears.

"Raaaaaaaaveeeeeeeeeen?" Estelle kept asking for Raven, crossing a door where many characters were hidding from her. "This is so odd, I think there's someone hiding close to me..."

"(NO! NO! NOT THAT DEMON RITA AGAIN! PLEASE!)" Raven pleaded on his mind desperately.

"Raven?!" Estelle kept asking as she walked away.

"...Is he her boyfriend or something?" Etna asked throwing her hands up as the others sighed in relief when they were gone, all of the tripped, opening the door as Raven looked to both sides of the hallway.

"Well," Pikachu got up cleaning his left ear a bit. "So much for that."

"Quick! We must hide now!" Raven said very preocupied.

"She's gone, everything's fine, relax." Ness said.

"Oh no, she doesn't give up on her matters, never! She won't be Estelle then!"

"...Oh brother, this is going to be a long night..." Nana said. "...Speaking of which, where's my brother or what is he doing now?"

Command Room

Crazy Hand had to drag the sleeping blue Ice Climber to the room and put him above a chair, where Popo was awkwardly laying down it, like a curled-up cat.

"And you...attack his weak point...for MASSIVE DAMAGE..." Popo said grogily as he turned to the other side and snored.

"You know," Crazy Hand said (still trembling by the coffee). "That's true, if you attack someone's weak point, it'll do MASSIVE DAMAGE."

Master Hand frowned at this. "Crazy, stop saying that please, it's somehow stupid."

"Crap, he's not here either!"

"Who's that?!" Master Hand asked turning his back, but he could only catch a blurry red color vanishing. "Who the heck was that just now?"

"Sonic?" Crazy Hand asked.

"No, Sonic's not red, he's blue."

"I thought he was the pink one."

"That's Amy." Master Hand said frowning.

Hallway (a different one)

Snake was shown running along the hallways once he climbed the stairs, not forgetting about destroying the lights along the way to get a proper cover, however, more problems came from ahead and he hid in the best spot in the whole world for high-level mercenaries like him.

His trusty and never-so-bad, cardboard box.

...However, this problem was just one, it was a green one with an axe, it was Axem Green.

"Otacon, there's a small green guy with an axe close to me, who's that?" Snake asked.

"No idea with that one, sorry Snake." Otacon replied as Snake grunted on his mind.

"If I were the World Traveler, where could I be?" Axem Green asked rubbing his chin. "Meh, I just need more of this "lurking" around and eventually I'll find him and bring him to Tabuu, now let's see if Axem Red can get the rank before me! Mwhahahahahahahaha!" Axem Green said laughing.

"...Wait, hold on, he's after the kid?" Snake asked.

"It appears so," Colonel said. "And he is accompanied by more allies, it seems."

"I'll be the new leader of the Axem Rangers, not even Axem Black will stop me, or Axem Pink, or Axem Yellow's butt, or Axem Red! He thinks he's the great deal and all, but nooooo, I'll kidnap the kid first and bring him to Tabuu!" Axem Green stated as he disappeared in a blink.

Snake got up and looked back him. "Seems I have some kind of competency for the prize."

"That pretty much sums up your troubles Snake." Otacon said.

Snake grunted. "Yeah, at this rate the kid will be gone."

"Then get a move on and STOP COMPLAINING for once."

"You're not my boss." Snake pointed out.

"I am." Colonel stated.

"You guys are mean." Otacon said ending the codec with a sigh.

Oh, wait just a minute there, Snake's troubles were now showing up again, because Diddy's team came walking down the other direction and guess what Snake did?

That's right, it's cardboard box time.

"...Oh god, first I have to deal with FOXHOUND...now ironically," Snake looked outside through the small hole, and found Fox standing just in front of the item. "I have a real fox in front of me...and it's wearing pants."

"Who shot the lightbulb?" Pit asked looking up the destroyed item.

"Who left this thing here?" DK asked glancing at the box.

"Who cares," Wolf said looking away. "Just a stupid box."

"Focus, the intruder, we don't need any other distractions, RIGHT Diddy?" Fox asked to Diddy, who was flipping his hat in the air.

"Huh?" Diddy asked as his hat fell perfectly on his head. "Right, whatever you say!"

"...Info about them, if you would..and first the fox one to end this." Snake said irritated, since his 3 comrades were somehow itching to explain EVERY single detail.

"His full name is Fox McCloud. He's the leader of the commando-for-hire unit Star Fox." Colonel explained.

"Does he even get money?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Just out of curiosity."

"...No, he forgets to get his payment from time to time," Colonel continued. "They're mostly active in a galaxy known as the Lylat System. Fox and his comrades pilot all-terrain fighter crafts called Arwings. His skills in combat can turn the tide of any battle. ...You seem to have a thing with foxes, don't you, Snake?"

Snake grumbled a little. "...Don't remind me. First FOXHOUND and now this guy... I'm sick of foxes."

"You and foxes have a long history together. You ought to be proud."

"DIDDY! STOP!" Fox said annoyed as Diddy kept playing with his hat.

"...This, however, makes up for it," Snake said as Fox was shown frowning. "Next up, the gorilla."

"Achoo!" DK sneezed. "Weird, did somebody say my name here?"

"No." Pit said.

"That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare," Otacon explained. "He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart, well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather."

"Hold on a second." Snake interrupted.

"W-what is it?"

"That "epic battle" that you spoke of, and since I made my own research about Mario, along with all his adventures from the first to the last one...how in the hell can you define jumping over barrells, climbing odd-shaped buildings to save a forgotten lady that was never spoken of again, an epic battle?"

"...Mei Ling, did you order him to research Mario?" Otacon whispered.

"No, I did." Colonel said.

"The Colonel did it too, heheh." Mei Ling said with a chuckle.

"Well Snake...that...isn't that epic now that I see it..." Otacon trailed off.

"Told so." Snake said rolling his eyes as he listened to the conversation.

"You know," DK looked around. "I heard some weird voices from somewhere along these hallways, they were kinda new to me too."

"It could have been Sonic," Pit said looking at him. "He is the last new person in this mansion so you haven't been used to his voice."

Snake gasped. "Otacon, there's a kid with wings out here. Is he a mutant? Or is he just into costumes?"
 
"Into costume-I mean, that's Pit, Snake. Pit is an angel from Angel Land. He's the captain of Palutena's Army."

"Angels. Give me a break!" Snake said frowning even more, sure, there were anthros (especially foxes, much for Snake's dismay), weird extraterrestrials and other weird and odd monsters around, and now angels? What the hell is happening with this place? At least that's what Snake thought.

Pit glared at nothing in particular. "Someone is mocking me, I can feel it..."

"...Kids are just getting weirder everytime, I swear." Wolf said.

"I dunno, maybe he's from a different species. But those wings on his back and those mysterious weapons he has are the real deal. He may look young, but he's a veteran warrior. Watch yourself. He used to be a weakling, but countless trials over the years have toughened him up." Otacon explained.

"And by trials, you mean killing the (blocked for religious reference)?"

"Snake, the Nazis don't have their own religion."

"How do you know?"

"That sounded so random just now." Mei Ling remarked...or not.

"Give now information about the monkey," Snake grinned in hid mind...at least. "Who's the perfect weapon to annoy FOXHOUND."

"That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well. He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun."

"...Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious? And where's that jetpack you mentioned?"

"I feel like showing you my own Blaster!" Diddy said taking out his Peanut Popgun. "Say hello to my gun!"

"...A wooden gun, how primitive." Fox said rolling his eyes.

"DUUUUUUCK!" Diddy yelled firing a fast peanut directly to Fox's left eye.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Fox covered his eye and began to hop in pain as the broken peanut fell on the floor. "YOU STUPID LITTLE CHIMPANZEE! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD IN YOUR OWN GRAVE!"

"Aw, don't feel bad Diddy," DK said patting Diddy's back. "I'm sure he's just upset."

"SHUT UP!"

"S(beep!)t like this makes my day." Wolf said smirking as he chuckled.

"Wait," Otacon told Snake to see the broken peanut. "Here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little."

"Hmm. Edible ammunition, huh... Times sure have changed." Snake remarked.

"Oh! Oh!" Diddy ducked and grabbed the peanut. "Fox, eat this! It will heal you!"

"Forget it! I'm not taking anything from you anymore and NEVER!" Fox yelled.

"...Oh well," Diddy munched the peanut and smiled. "Aw, it feels so nice..."

Fox pulled his hand away (revealing a red eye, at least around his green pupil) and glared to another way. "Now, let's get moving and kick the crap out of that guy."

"It's the little fox upset about his red eye?" Wolf asked taunting with a grin.

"You, shut up, now." Fox said annoyed.

"And lastly but not least, the wolf anthro." Snake whispered.

"You mean the fighter named Wolf." Colonel explained as Wolf's ears perked up a little and looked around.

"...This place gives the chills..." Wolf muttered, shuddering a little.

"Wolf." Real imaginative name..." Snake said.

"He's the leader of a ragtag team called "Star Wolf." They're the longtime rivals of Star Fox."

"Come to think of it," Wolf began with a smirk to Fox. "The monkey will take you down before I do, how amusing."

"Don't let me use my Final Smash and call the Landmaster to crush you." Fox warned him with a nasty glare.

"Yuck, you have serious eye sickness right there." Wolf taunted closing his eye as Fox gritted his fangs with rage.

"...Yeah, I see the rivalry now... Kind of strange for a wolf to have friends, isn't it?" Snake said and asked.
 
"Well, I don't think he works well with others." Colonel said.

"Duh." Snake said, remembering the moment from a second ago.

"I suppose they're more like hangers-on than actual comrades. But he's a remarkable pilot. And his ship, the "Wolfen," is no slouch, either."

"He doesn't look all that dangerous to me in a hand-to-hand combat, Colonel. He's out of his element."

"Careful, Snake. Those claws of his aren't just for show."

"Those are claws? They're just sharp nails anyway."

"...Sure." Colonel said sarcastically as Fox looked up ahead.

"Alright, let's go now."

"Okay!" Diddy said (somehow getting of Fox's nerves). "First, I'm going to lift this thing up 5 times!"

"...Wait, what thing's he talking about?" Snake asked before Diddy lifted up quickly the box 5 times, and covered Snake 5 times after each time before he ran off. "Shoot, that was insanely close, stupid chimpanzee."

"...Good, he's gone." Fox muttered with a satisfied grin as the group walked away, leaving Snake behind.

"Now, let's get serious and go on." Snake said standing up before he ran to the stairs.

"Huh?" Pit looked behind him but there wasn't nobody there, and the box was gone as well. "But...did that box disappear just now?"

"What are you talking about?" DK asked and looked at Pit's direction. "...Was that box a ghost?"

"No!"

[DededeCloneChris]

Falco's Room

The helpless and somewhat frightened ace pilot was trembling from the cold, truth to be told, he was stuck in his bed during the snowstorm.

"SOMEBODY!" Falco yelled once again before he gave up. "Fine! I don't care if Chris gets kidnapped! It's his fault to get a fever anyway!"

"What was that just now?"

Falco quickly hid inside his bed as Snake passed just in front of his room.

"...Just a bed with a bunch of mantles...this is place is so odd honestly...now, where's that kid? I can't let that axe guy kidnap him before me."

"(...There's another guy trying to kidnap Chris as well? Who's that now?)" Falco thought.

"I must hurry, no more distractions."

"Snake, go forward and you'll see more stairs, once you go there, you should be closer to your location." Otacon said.

"You better say the truth or else." Snake threatened as he ran away.

Falco got really annoyed and stuck his head out. "...If somebody doesn't come here, they're really gonna regret that later..."

Another hallway

"Nope, there's nobody here either." Yoshi said exiting a room.

"Is there even an intruder here?" Mallow asked.

"The alarm was triggered, so yes." Pikachu said.

"Whoever that person is, he's very good at hiding away." Geno said.

"...Wait," Meta Knight stopped and looked around. "There is someone inside that room."

Meta Knight pointed at a very pink room, to the Smashers, it was not surprise for it to be Peach's Room, and there was someone giggling with glee, happily alone.

"Oh my! Like, this so goes with my axe!" A voice said.

"...Silently, follow me." Meta Knight whispered, motioning his hand at him and the others listened to him and went towards the door.

Peach's Room

The Smashers carefully peered from the door, that was a little opened, enough for them to see the person inside the room rummaging through Peach's belongings.

"Wait, Geno, isn't that..." Mallow trailed off as Geno glared with a nod.

"Yes, it's Axem Pink, one of the Axem Rangers." Geno said.

Axem Pink was enjoying her private time by taking all of Peach's perfumes, accesories and jewelry, Peach forgot to get all her things from her room that she left them behind, much for Axem Pink's fortune.

"A jewel over here, another sapphire over there, a gorgeous collar right here and...OH YES!" Axem Pink joined her hands when she looked at herself on the mirror. "Now who's the beauty queen?"

"Not her, that's for sure." Pikachu said shuddering.

"Shh!" Twink whispered as they overheard the ranger.

"Okay, now that I smell so like dandelions and roses, it's time to get like, so serious now," Axem Pink said rubbing her chin. "Like, where is that kid? That World Traveler kid?"

"World Traveler kid?" Geno repeated.

"That's Chris's nickname, isn't?" Yoshi asked.

"Tabuu is like so going to be mad at us if we don't like find him and bring him to Tabuu! He's gonna get especially really like mad to me!" Axem Pink said gasping.

"I wonder if she's alone in this..." Twink whispered but Meta Knight shook his head.

"I'm afraid not, I was able to see them in Samus's world," Meta Knight explained. "She was not alone either, there were other 4 persons that looked like her but had different shapes and colors."

"Then that means the Axem Rangers are all over the place, trying to find Chris." Pikachu said.

"Most likely, and they're trying to kidnap him!" Mallow said.

"Okay okay okay," Axem Pink said throwing the jewelry away...but then she went for them and stood in front of the mirror again. "If I don't get moving, Axem Red is so like going to be more red than before, I want to like be successful and get the kid first!"

"Time to attack?" Pichu asked.

"Hell yes." Pikachu said gathering sparks.

"But this jewelry, this room, I can't leave all of this behind an-"

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Mallow yelled opening the door quickly and the 8 quickly surprised the femenine axe wielder squealed scared.

"Oh, you're so like that stinky cloud and that ugly puppet!" Axem Pink said.

"Good that you remember us, but now it's time for you to leave this place." Geno said adjusting his hand.

"We overheard everything you said, and as a resident of this place," Meta Kight pointed his sword at her. "I ask you to leave, immediately."

"Like, sorry, but that's going to happen like either way!" Axem Pink said taking out her axe. "I thought that it was like going to be hard to fight many of you that once, but! As a matter of, like, fact, I have one little trick in, like, mind!"

"Makeup?" Pichu asked.

"No, that's like the second thing my mind."

"Jewels?" Twink asked.

"That's like the third one! I was like talking about this!" Axem Pink snapped her fingers (if she had) and rose petals began to fill the room.

Yoshi chuckled. "Aw, how sweet, you made petals fall all around Peach's room, she's going to like the new decoration."

Mallow's and Geno's eyes widened after remembering something crucial. "Wait, no! Not this attack!" Mallow said panicking.

"You're scared of petals?" Pikachu asked with a chuckle.

"No! You don't understand! If anybody knows this attack, then the result will b-"

POOF!

There were now 8 small mushrooms (one of them was floating) where the Smashers once were, Axem Pink looked at the mushrooms and giggled with glee.

"Ahahahahaha! My! You all like feel so mushroomy right now, aren't you not?" Axem Pink giggled.

"What the heck?! I'm a stupid mushroom!" A yellow mushroom (Pikachu) yelled hopping.

"Oh, so this is how it feels to be a mushroom." Yoshi (a Yoshi egg patern mushroom...a green one) said hopping.

"You're not suppose to know how it feels, don't be so impressed..." Meta Knight (a dark purple mushroom) said. "...You, however, should be embarrassed and humiliated."

"But I am!" Pikachu said annoyed as Axem Pink kicked him away. "WHOA! EVERYTHING'S SPINNING!"

"Like, I should be going, you can like enjoy the loneliness of this pinky room, ciao!" Axem Pink said giggling as ran away to the halls.

"...Okay..." Pichu (a pale yellow mushroom) began. "...This is so unusual..."

"...Geno..." Twink (the floating white mushroom) called out.

"Yes?" Geno (a deep blue mushroom) said.

"Does this...effect worn out after a time?"

"...Hmm...like in an hour..."

"...Crap then." Pikachu said over a corner.

"Damn straight." Mallow (a slightly dark yellow mushroom) said agreeding with a sweatdrop.

Another hallway

There was someone in the bathroom while everyone was scattered around, it was the curious Ike, and his team was waiting for him outside.

"How's it going in there Ike?" C. Falcon asked.

"I feel relieved, a lot actually!" Ike said as Zelda tried not to puke.

"Okay, see the paper at your side?"

"Yeah?"

"Okay, use that t-"

Zelda blocked his mouth. "Please, no more! This is just too much for me to handle carefully!"

"...Ike! Use it to wipe you-"

SLAP!

"Nevermind that!" Ike yelled already doing something inside.

"Oww..." C. Falcon rubbed his chin where Zelda slapped him.

"Why it had to be this the first thing in the first place?" Roy asked.

"Well, Ike was so curious and he just happened to need it." Marth said shrugging.

Link looked over to his side to find a cardboard box. "Who left this box here? It's from anyone?"

"Not me," C. Falcon said. "I have much better places to keep my things."

Snake, on the other hand, was impressed, he actually bothered to research some of them, and C. Falcon happened to be some kind of celebrity to him. "Hey! That's Captain Falcon, isn't it!"

"Good eye, Snake! He's F-Zero pilot number 07!" Otacon said excited.

"You know, seeing Captain Falcon here reminds me... We should do that thing we've always wanted to try..."

Otacon blinked surprised. "Oh yeah! That thing! Good idea!"

"Hey Ike!" C. Falcon called out. "Have you ever wanted to fight one of us?"

"I'm not sure, I just got here!" Ike yelled.

"Well, do you want to know how my moves are called?"

"Um, sure, why not?"

"OK, ready? Go!" Otacon said, activating the echo sound machine to make it more epic.

"Falcon Puuuunch!!" Snake yelled and everyone looked around confused.

"Falcon Kiiiiiiick!" Otacon yelled, managing the sound to go outside the box.

"Wow, your attacks sound very awesome with the echos, I can't wait to fight you later." Ike said.

"...Where did those voices come from?" Roy asked.

"Those voices are the gods who recognize my abilities." C. Falcon said with a grin.

"Dammit, we got too far with that Otacon." Snake whispered.

"Oops." Otacon replied as Ike got out.

"So, how do you do that?" Ike asked as he adjusted his belt.

"Er, well...it's my specialty." C. Falcon with another grin.

"You're full of surprises, I like that."

Zelda facepalmed. "Right..."

Snake glanced over to Link. "Otacon, who's the guy with the sword?"

"That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule," Otacon began. "That blade in his hand is called the Master Sword, also known as the "Blade of Evil's Bane."

"It looks like it's just a plain sword to me." Snake commented.

"So Ike, are you starting to enjoy technology?" Link asked.

"I've got to say, I'm still a little frightened honestly, but once I got the guts to try it, it feels so good the next moment." Ike said.

Marth sweatdropped. "...But you're feeling because you just used the bathroom, it's much different with other stuff."

"And why do you need guts? Just use them." Roy said.

"He also has a whole arsenal of items at his disposal, bombs and arrows, a shield, a boomerang, and a Clawshot. He's a force to be reckoned with." Otacon explained.

"Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good...hey, where's this guy's equipment anyway? I can see only his sword and shield out."

"...Well...about that..." Otacon trailed off.

"...So?"

"...I...don't...know...all of them can keep and take out their things."

"...Somebody is defying the physics here, and a lot." Snake commented.

Command Room

"ACHOO!" Master Hand sneezed.

Another hallway

"...I, uh... I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Snake." Otacon trailed off, remembering something important about Snake's equipment.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Snake asked a little irritated.

"You tell me, Mr. Utility Belt."

"Achoo!" Link sneezed. "Did...somebody just talk about me?"

"No." Everyone said, even Snake did it by accident and they looked around.

"...This is really getting spooky now...are there any ghosts here?" Roy asked.

"This mansion was built by Master Hand, ghosts aren't living here." Marth said.

C. Falcon and Zelda shuddered once they looked to Link. "...Oh no, that bad memory is still haunting us, Zelda." C. Falcon said.

"I...have to agree with you." Zelda said inching away from Link.

"(Heheheheheh...)" Link chuckled evily in his mind.

"Who's that girl over there?" Snake whispered.

"Snake, have you heard the saying "Politics makes strange bedfellows"?" Mei Ling asked.

"Don't tell me that's a Chinese proverb."

"Err, no... It means that when the going gets tough, you might need unexpected partnerships in order to succeed. Marth was a prince whose kingdom was usurped. He didn't even have an army to fight with him. But as he battled his way forward, he found new allies to fight at his side, and in the end, he was able to reunite the war-torn land of Altea."

"So he built his army from the ranks of his defeated enemies...wait, she's a he?"

Marth glared to nothing in particular. "...I've got the feeling someone said I was a girl again."

"Snake, Marth is a he, his name is even a name for a guy." Mei Ling said.

"But look at that tiara on his hair, even his hair looks girlish."

"He comes from an old age, remember, there were many persons with weird hairstyles, but in reality, that tiara belonged to her sister," Mei Ling continued. "Marth did his share of fighting, too. Even when he had an army, he was always alongside his men in the thick of battle. Then he was betrayed by one of his most trusted friends. I can't even imagine how that feels..."
 
"I can." Snake said simply. "...Wait, who betrayed him again?"

"I tried my best to investigate him but I couldn't find anything else, sorry Snake, I'm going to work harder on him next time."

"Don't worry about that."

"Aww, thank you Snake, you made me feel happy now."

"Now, who's the woman? It wouldn't feel right fighting someone in a dress, though."
 
"Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman." Colonel said.

For some odd reason, Zelda glared at the box. "...I just felt a sexism insult towards me coming from that box."

"Nah, probably not, it's just a box Zelda, you're overthinking," Roy reassured her as he lifted up the box. "See? It's just a plain box and..."

Battle in the Base

"...Curses." Snake muttered.

"...THE INTRUDER!" C. Falcon yelled before Snake ran to Zelda and grabbed her mouth by her back.

"Zelda!" Link yelled as Snake backed away.

"Lut mu gu!" Zelda yelled angrily before Snake pulled out his tazer and electrocuted her, Zelda screamed in pain before she fainted.

"You stupid bastard!"

"Sorry, but I've got no time to play with you." Snake said.

"Now you're going to pay!" Link yelled rushing towards Snake, the mercenary sidestepped out of the way and chopped Link's neck directly, the swordsman gasped before he fell unconscious close to Zelda.

"Link!" Roy yelled before Snake ran to the 4.

"He's coming, stay focused!" Marth warned them as he shielded himself with his sword, however Snake threw a grenade that fell on C. Falcon's hands.

"GET RID OF THAT!" Roy yelled as C. Falcon threw it...at Ike, who took a look closer to it.

"Why are you all so scared about this?" Ike asked getting closer to them.

"NO, YOU IDIOT! STAY AWAY FROM US, THAT THING IS GOING TO BLOW UP!" C. Falcon yelled as they backed away from Ike, who was still getting closer.

Ike looked down to the grenade. "...Wait, what?!"

BOOM!

An explosion covered the hall and smoke came out, Snake backed away and coughed, when the smoke cleared, the 4 were laying down the floor, unconscious as well for Snake's fortune.

Final Fantasy Vlll - The Spy

"...Funny thing," Snake said walking towards Ike. "His cluelessness about technology made everything easier."

"That's a blessing, I guess." Otacon said as Snake continued his way deeper.

"Wait, Snake," Mei Ling began. "I heard Chris is protected by his guardian."

"A guardian? You mean that oversized blue dog?" Snake asked.

"That oversized blue dog is Lucario, Snake, Lucario is among the strongest persons of the whole mansion."

"Hmm..." Snake thought as he ran in the hallways, shooting down the lights as he went further ahead.

"You're almost close to your location Snake," Otacon said. "Just a few more then the mission will be over."

"I'm prepared for anything now."

"And what about Lucario?" Mei Ling asked as Snake stopped on his trails.

...But there was a small grin on the mercenary.

"I have something in mind for him." Snake said as he disappeared from sight.

"...I have a bad feeling about this..." Otacon said.

Main Lobby

"An explosion?" Axem Green asked to himself. "What are explosions doing here? Are these guys bomb's lovers?"

"YUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!"

Axem Green blinked for a moment and an annoyed face appeared after. "...Oh brother, don't tell me that fat hole is..." Axem Green glanced to the kitchen.

And he was right, his thoughts were right.

Kitchen

"BUUUUUUUURP!" Axem Yellow burped. "Man, that was one hell of a feast."

"BUUUUUUUUUURP!" Kirby burped. "Meta Knight wasn't here to stop me...now this is my vision of heaven..."

"You're a pretty nice guy, did you know that?"

"I'm a good guy, duh." Kirby said rolling his eyes as both laughed.

"YOU DORK!" Axem Green yelled entering the kitchen. "You're supposed to find the World Traveler and kidnap him! But instead, you're only making your stomach get even bigger than it needs to be!"

[DededeCloneChris]

"But Axem Green, this was a fridge with turkey, turkey! Can you believe it?!" Axem Yellow said as Kirby blinked at the situation.

"Oh, sure, I believe it, I believe you were going to eat it for your own pleasure." Axem Green said facepalming. "Whatever, get back to your duty and find the kid!"

"...Wait," Kirby began. "You're here to kidnap Chris? Because he is the World Traveler."

"Uh-huh," Axem Yellow nodded. "I was supposed to find and kidnap him but instead I tricked Axem Red that I was excited to work alone, he fell for it and I was free to search the kitchen and eat everything I could eat! Pretty brilliant for someone like, huh?"

"Boy, that was brilliant, kudos to you." Kirby said waving a hand.

"..." Axem Green shook his head. "Stupid, I know there was something odd with you at that moment."

"You didn't expect my plan to work out like that, did you?" Axem Yellow asked with a happy expression.

"It's very easy to trick Axem Red alright bu-WAIT! Get moving you...you...YOU!"

"...You can't find the words to insult him, can you?" Kirby asked.

"...Sadly, no." Axem Green said before he shook his head. "You're coming with me, and this time, no more food for you!"

Axem Green grabbed Axem Yellow's hand and dragged him away. "Bye...it was good to know a guy like you!" Axem Yellow yelled waving at Kirby, who waved back at him.

"What a nice guy..." Kirby said smiling before he shook his head and got shocked. "...Did he say they were going to...OH NO!" Kirby jumped to the floor and ran away. "I need to alert the others and reunite with Chris!"

Hallway

"I'm not a fat-nosed man..."

"Olimar?" Kirby asked tapping Olimar's shoulder.

"I'm not a fat-nosed man..."

"But you're not a fat-nosed man, who told you that?"

Olimar quickly got happy and looked at Kirby. "Thank you! Thank you! You don't know how happy did you make me right now!"

"Um...you're welcome?" Kirby said confused as he looked at the fainted Smashers. "What happened here?"

"W-well...there was this old guy in a box and he, well, attacked all of us..."

"Old guy? Did he happen to be a small figure with an axe?"

"N-no, he was really mean to me..." Olimar said sniffing a little.

"...WAKE UP!" Kirby yelled loudly and for his surprise, everyone began to groan and got up, moaning in pain as they looked around.

"U-ugh...that guy is so gonna pay now..." Sonic muttered as he got up along with the others. "...Where'd he go?"

"I-I don't know anything..." Olimar said looking down.

"I swear, he was such a cheater!" Red said making a fist. "How could he attack me?"

"Because you can't fight and we do all the work?" Ivysaur asked raising an eyebrow.

"W-well...yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't retaliate, right?"

"...Give it up, Red." Squirtle said waving a hand with a frown.

"So, on the topic again, where'd he go?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know, I got here because someone axe guys want to kidnap Chris." Kirby said simply.

"...Someone wants to kidnap Chris?!" Olimar said shocked, opening his eyes.

"Damn, there's trouble now, Chris isn't in a good condition to fight." Squirtle said.

"Want me to alert the guys?" Sonic asked pointing at himself.

"Quick! Do it! Something doesn't look right here!" Kirby said.

"I'm on it!" Sonic said with a grin as he disappeared in a blink.

...But later he returned.

"What is it?" Red asked.

"Er, somebody knows where are they?" Sonic asked with a worried chuckle as the others facepalmed in unison.

Hallway (another one)

"Yes, yes, yes..." Axem Black said nodding. "It seems the Blade is ready to take off whenever we're ready to escape with the World Traveler, but...where's that kid? It's such a drag to look for him when we don't know the exact location."

"I know this is a problem," Axem Red called over a small communicator he gave to Axem Black. "But if we return with our hands empty to the Subspace, Tabuu will only get furious and...ugh, I don't want to know what's he going to do after that...huh?"

"What is it?"

"I found some Smashers over here, they're unconscious and some of them are damaged," Axem Red kicked Link's side. "Yep, they're fainted, something happened here."

"Like what?"

"Do you expect me to know? I don't know!"

"You and your anger issues."

"Shuddup!" Axem Red yelled. "Anyway, there's nothing interesting on this place, I'm outta this hallway! Any luck over there?"

"No," Axem Black shook his head. "I don't know where is he, or where are the others...but I sense some people close to me right now..."

"Get your butt out of there and fast! We're so close in getting the kid!"

"Roger that." Axem Black said as he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Just then, Pit came to where he was and looked around. "Strange, I've could have sworn there was somebody here a second ago."

"Pit!" DK yelled from a door. "Did you find something?"

"No! I thought there was someone over here but there's nothing!"

"Then get back to your duties, I'm not having any luck here either!"

"R-right!" Pit nodded as he ran through the hallway. "(But, why are the lights destroyed? It's somebody destroying them?)"

Lucario's Room

"..." Lucario sighed after he looked to Chris. "Nothing yet...I'm starting to worry."

"I'm sure he's alright," Flonne said patting his back a little. "Come on, you have to cheer up!"

"But..."

"No buts!"

"What?"

"You have to put all your faith on him if you want to see progress, you don't need to lose your faith, I'm sure everything will be fine, trust me! I'm your friend remember?"

"W-well, that's true bu-"

"Here we go again with the buts, just believing in him! Does he believe in you?"

"I-in what way?"

"Like for example, you're protecting him, aren't you? Then he believes that you will protect him in this hard moment, right?"

"...Y-yes..." Lucario said kneeling to the bed as he took a closer look to his trainer. "...Please, get well soon..."

Flonne blinked for a moment and blushed. "...S-sorry, I think I got a little cheesy with my words... I-I just love the love and friendship and pretty much everything else..."

"No, it's okay."

"...Thanks." Flonne muttered smiling a little.

"(...Thank you for being so nice to me, Flonne...)" Lucario thought as he rested his head close to Chris's hand.

"(...Aw, both of them look cute together...)" Flonne thought joining her hands as she rubbed Lucario's head, which made the Pokémon growl happily. "(You're a dog, I knew it!)"

"Grrrr..."

"S-sorry!" Flonne said stopping.

"...Who told you to stop?"

"S-sorry again!" Flonne said sweating as she continued, but then, she got an annoyed look. "(Who's he to order me around anyway?)"

"...A-ha...so this is the room..."

Music stops

"Huh?!" Flonne jumped surprised and looked at the door, she could have sworn there was somebody trying to enter.

"A voice?" Lucario asked standing up.

"Finally, this will soon end after the mishaps of those cretins..."

"...We're not alone in this room," Lucario said starting to growl at the door. "Somebody who is not from here wants to enter here."

"W-what are we going to do? I-I'm scared!" Flonne said worried.

"Heheheheheheheh..."

Flonne gulped in fear as the door slowly opened up, Lucario glared at the figure that stepped inside, it was Axem Red, who was chuckling evily as he looked at the 2.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Behind Us

"So," Axem Red began glancing to Chris. "There's the kid, at last, we can end this mission of the kidnapping once and for all."

"Kidnapping?" Lucario asked before he glared down at him. "You're not going to kidnap my trainer if that's what are you going to do!"

"I'll be quiet if I were you, I wouldn't want disturb his rest."

Lucario gasped as he looked to Chris. "U-ugh...whatever, you're not going to do anything with him."

"Sorry, that's not gonna happen," Axem Red waved a finger. "It's a direct order from Lord Tabuu, he said specifically to kidnap the kid, bring him to the Subspace and then Tabuu will use him for his deeds of conquest that you imbeciles have been trying to stop, and let me tell you, he ain't happy about the results so far."

"Grrrrrrrr..." Lucario grunted as his aura covered his hands.

"You want violence? Inside this place? Where your "trainer" is recovering?" Axem Red shook his head. "You're not that protective."

"Shut up!" Lucario yelled.

"...U...u...ugh..." Chris moaned silently as Lucario gasped.

"N-no, please, it's not my fault, he made me do it!"

"Lucario, please, get a hold of yourself!" Flonne said.

"You over there, shut up and be nice to me." Axem Red ordered as Flonne pouted.

"And if I don't want to?"

"Too bad," Axem Red said as he disappeared in a blink.

"W-where did he go?!" Flonne asked looking around.

"...I can't locate his aura...I think he was using something to prevent anything to spot him..." Lucario said as he dropped to one knee.

"Lucario!"

"...I'm an idiot Flonne..."

"What?"

"I'm an idiot, I tried to use violence in here, where Chris was recovering without even caring...my rage is blinding me from protecting the person I like to be with..."

"T-that's not true!" Flonne said ducking to see Lucario. "You wanted to protect him so badly, that's not bad!"

"But Flonne, don't you understand?!" Lucario asked looking straight to her eyes. "If I went in a rampage again, I'd scare Chris and he wouldn't talk to me never again!" Lucario closed his eyes to prevent his tears from coming out. "...And I just...and I just...and I just got lucky for him to forgive me..."

"Please..." Flonne rubbed Lucario's head as the Aura Pokémon began to sob silently. "It's not your fault..."

"I wouldn't count on that."

"Huh?!" Flonne looked up and saw a shadow, it was Snake who walked to them. "N-now who are you?!"

"This guy is responsible for the kid to get ill," Snake said glaring down to Lucario, who looked up at him with eyes in shock. "It's his fault that he got injured."

"T-THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Lucario yelled loudly as Chris moaned more. "...N-no...that's not true...that's not true..."

"Admit it dog, your rage will only destroy everything in its way..." Snake pointed at Chris. "Even the kid, who's going to suffer in your own hands."

"Snake, I think you're going too far." Otacon said but Snake turned off the conversation.

"H-he's not going to suffer in his hands!" Flonne yelled back.

"That's what you think, the monster can't even fight without using his rage to injure greatly his opponent, but his owner as well, who is going to have a phobia against his own ally," Snake shook his head. "Maybe you should leave the kid's side and get away from here as soon as possible."

"B-but..." Lucario stammered as his tears began to stroll down. "H-he needs me..."

"Yeah, but from afar, he won't mind your decision as long as he's happy, am I right?"

"...Yes..."

Flonne's face darkened a little and she looked down the floor. "...Shut up..."

"Shut up about what?" Snake asked. "The kid is in this condition because of his so-called guardian, who ironically hurts him even more without even feeling remorse when he's a monster, oh wait, he's a monster already, a personal monster for the kid's fear."

"SHUT UP!" Flonne stood up and grabbed her magic baton. "You don't know anything about them! Who are you exactly to blame it all on poor Lucario?! You're just a very mean man that wants to crush Lucario's feelings!"

"Girl, I only spoke the truth," Snake said crossing his arms. "And besides, I know everything about these 2...ever since they came here."

"W-what?" Lucario asked confused.

"That's right, I've been spying this mansion ever since you and the kid came from the "real world," there's a small and well protected chip in your fur that you didn't even notice, not even water can damage that."

Lucario rubbed his fur around his waist and then he felt something at the side, he took out a small chip that he examined closely. "...This thing has a small camera...but how did you put this on me?"

"There were chips like this on my "room" that I have somewhere in this house, there are even cameras placed all around the rooms, halls and other places, I know everything about everyone here."

"Snake, you ask for information to us to whoever you see." Otacon said turning on the codec call, but Snake turned it off a little embarrassed.

"I know everything..." Snake pointed at Lucario. "Especially your attempts to protect your trainer from danger."

"Y-you saw all of them?" Lucario asked and Snake nodded.

"Now, it's time for your answer, do you think you've been doing a good job in protecting him?"

"...I...I...I...I..."

"Lucario! You know it, you've been doing an excellent job! Nobody can do that except for you!" Flonne said.

"...No..."

Music stops

Flonne's eyes trembled in shock. "...What?"

"It's all my fault...he got hurt all this time...and sometimes even because my rage did it...I'm hopeless...sorry...Chris...this was all for nothing..."

"Thought so." Snake said walking over to Chris as Lucario let the mercenary walk to the World Traveler, Flonne was looking back and forht between the 2, for one part, she should be helping Lucario, on the other part, she should try and protect Chris from being kidnapped.

"W-what are you going to do?" Flonne asked desperated to do something.

"I'll do the monster a favor and take the kid away from him, where he'll be fine from danger, I don't let my comrades get hurt." Snake explained as he looked down to Chris, who stopped moaning and breathing air. "Once I get this kid out of this place, everything will be more safe with me, so now..."

KICK!

"...I...hate...kids...so...much..."

Flonne's jaw dropped once Snake grabbed a private part of his body and fell twitching in pain on the floor, the mercenary tried not to scream loudly, but he managed to prevent that from happening.

What was the reason for this sudden event?

Well...ask the kid on the bed, who had his leg extended to where Snake was before.

"...Oh...my...lord of Celestia..." Flonne muttered shocked once she saw Chris with a happy expression, apparently, his fever was almost gone from him.

However, something broke the silence, it was Chrs himself who smiled and turned to the other side.

"And you...attack his weakpoint...for MASSIVE DAMAGE...cretin..." Chris murmured as he sighed in relief and fell asleep.

"...Well, that would be his weakpoint..." Flonne remarked with a giggle.

002 - Putting Words Together

"..." Lucario was still left speechless and Flonne ducked and gave him a warm hug. "Huh?"

"Lucario, you're the perfect friend and companion Chris could ever get, it's not your fault that he got sick, after all, he decided by his own and you respected his idea, after all, he knows how to defend for himself because you taught him that, you don't have to listen to what a mean man like him did, if you still like Chris, and if he still likes you, then you 2 make a perfect good match between friends."

"...It's that..." Lucario cleared his tears. "...True, Flonne?"

Flonne giggled. "Of course, I'm so sure about that."

"...If only Chris could be awake..."

"Lucario..." Chris called out from his sleep and Lucario's ears perked up a little.

"Y-yes?" Lucario asked turning to Chris who made a faint smile.

"Please...stay with me forever...we can have so much fun that way...just...don't leave me...I don't want to be alone again..." Chris managed to say before he fell asleep.

"...Master... Chris..." Lucario muttered with a small smile.

"...After all..."

"Huh?"

Music stops

"We won our own luxury hotel in that lottery from yesterday, we can swim in the pool with the others and have the best fun of the world...yeah..." Chris said before he fell asleep again.

"..." Flonne sweatdropped. "I think he was just dreaming, how ironic, isn't? Heheheheh."

Lucario made a bored face. "...Why do you like to humiliate me, Chris?"

"That's it!" Snake yelled as he stood up. "Screw hiding spots and break the emotional structures of the people! The kid's coming with me!"

"GRRRRRRRR!!!" Lucario grunted in rage.

"What's the matter dog? You don't care about your trainer anymore?"

"I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, I DO CARE A LOT ABOUT MY TRAINER AND FRIEND, IF I THINK I'M DOING THE RIGHT THING TO PROTECT HIM, THEN I'LL DO IT AND STOP YOU!"

"Lucario!" Flonne clapped her hands. "That was so heroic!"

"Crap, now he's serious." Snake commented as he backed away to Chris.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lucario roared loudly (Chris didn't EVEN wake up) as he charged up an Aura Sphere.

"Yeah!" Axem Red said appearing just above Chris. "Leave him alone, because I'm taking him with me!"

Falco's Room

"..." Falco was still very annoyed that he couldn't move from his place that he began to talk to himself. "...Okay, first, after Chris gets kidnapped...should I make his grave or save him? If I make his grave, then I'll do a proper burial, but if I do save him, then he will admire me for the rest of his life..." Falco rubbed his chin and closed his eyes. "Yeah, that's has a nice sound to it... I need to imagine it, I'll have a fan from the real world...that's settles it! I'm going to let him get kidnapped for me to save him from the Subspace! Oh yeah, now I'm talkin-"

"Falco, what was all that you said just now?"

Falco sweatdropped once he turned to his right side and saw Fox, with crossed arms, tapping his foot and an annoyed look...with a red eye.

Falco chuckled. "Fox, what happened? Are you sick in the eye?"

"Don't ask." Fox said closing his eyes as the other entered the room.

"We're probably the only ones who haven't found a clue about the intruder." Pit said looking down.

"Wait, don't you mean intruders?" Falco asked, now remembering what he planned to say originally.

"Intruders? I thought there was only one." Fox said opening his eyes, but Falco chuckled. "...Fine, Diddy made this to me by ACCIDENT."

"I'm still saying I'm sorry!" Diddy's voice was heard, because Falco couldn't look at the small monkey.

"Shut up then!"

"Can I talk please." Falco suggested.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Those axe guys," Falco began. "The same axe guys we saw on Samus's world, they're here to kidnap Chris!"

"So they're the intruders..." Wolf said.

"...But the odd thing is that there was another suspicious guy sneaking around this place as well..."

"Who?" Diddy, DK, Fox and Pit asked confused.

"I dunno...but I heard he wanted to kidnap him as well an-"

It was not long before they all heard an explosion where Chris was healing and they looked to all the parts with shocked expressions.

"W-what was that just now?!" Pit asked.

"That came from where Chris was, wasn't it?" DK asked.

The group looked at each other before they ran away...

"...What are you doing here?" Falco asked.

"I'm not the kid's babysitter or something." Wolf said crossing his arms.

"Well, you're not going to let someone else get him, right?"

"Tell me a good reason."

Falco began to think. "...Because...as much as you hate Fox, you hate Chris as much as him and you want to defeat both of them someday...in your own hands?"

Wolf looked away and smirked. "...That changes the whole subject now..." Wolf said chuckling as he ran away.

"...Oh, right, leave me behind!" Falco yelled annoyed, he tried to get up, but failed miserably once the cold got him again. "Not this stupid crap again, dangit!"

Hallway

"An explosion!" Kirby said shocked.

Peach's Room

"Great, the action is starting without us!" Pikachu yelled hopping.

But it was not long before they all turned back to normal as Meta Knight flew away of the room.

"You said the effects would worn off in an hour!" Pichu said.

"...To tell the truth... I was fainted that time when Mallow turned into one, so he knew all along." Geno said looking away.

"My bad." Mallow said sticking out his tongue as they all ran away.

Toon Link's Room

"What should we do now?" Ness asked as they all overheard the explosion.

"Stay behind and protect good ol' me!" Raven yelled hiding below the bed.

"...Let's be lazy and protect the old man, after all, the others can do it all for themselves." Nana said.

"Agreed." The young Smashers said sitting on the floor as Raven sighed in relief.

Command Room

Master Hand sighed disappointed. "And that happens when you let them go and wander around Crazy, they wander until something blows up."

"Man, it must be hard to keep this mansion under control." Popo said trembling because he took a sip of coffee.

"Weren't you sleeping?"

"Nope, not anymore!" Popo said as his eyes grew and shrunk awrwardly.

"Aw, how much I love this kid." Crazy Hand said sighing.

"Crazy, stop being...you please." Master Hand said frowning.

10th floor

"...Hey you..." Etna called.

"Yes?" Estelle asked.

"I'm pretty sure nobody rests on this floor, we should be going down."

"Oh...right..."

Another hallway

"An...explosion..." Zelda muttered as she looked up. "Something is...happening..."

Lucario's Room

Flonne was very shocked, many figures ran in front of her when the explosion occurred, she couldn't see anything, she only found Lucario unconscious on the floor and a huge hole in the wall appeared, Axem Red, Snake and Chris were gone from the mansion, and now they were probably in the snowstorm.

"...W-why?" Flonne asked silently, dropping to her knees while her eyes trembled, dropping close to Lucario. "...Why did this happen?... Why?"

She could only catch sight of a ship going towards Nintendo City as it vanished through the sleet of the night...

Preview of the next chapter

"...Kid, wake up."

"U-ugh...huh?"

...

"And...that's all..." Flonne finished.

"This is not good, they're planning to take Chris into the Subspace through Exor!" Geno said in a serious tone.

...

"Guess we'll have to work together to get out from this junk."

"...I don't have another choice..."

...

"We're almost there," Axem Red said looking to Exor from very far away. "We just need to enter and Tabuu will be very pleased with our success! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"He's out of it now." Axem Green whispered.

...

"Second thoughts of a mercenary...why should I have second thoughts for?" Snake asked.

Chapter 103: Second thoughts of a mercenary

The Blade
Cell

In the night of the snowstorm, we see Chris, who was unconscious thanks to the explosion in the room before, inside the cell where the Axem Rangers had thrown him in, mentioned characters were chuckling to themselves as Chris was immobile.

"We did it!" Axem Red said. "We managed to grab the kid out from those imbeciles! I'm a genius!"

"You should shut up for now," Axem Black said remembering the event in the mansion. "After all, thanks to my Spritz Bomb move to blow up the wall and kidnap the kid after I managed to get in contact with these idiots, it's me who should get the credit."

"Hey, like, that sounded like so mean," Axem Pink said annoyed. "I was like so focused in my task."

"Yeah," Axem Green said rolling his eyes. "I bet you went straight to a girl's room and try on some kind of makeup or jewels, I know you very well."

Axem Pink blushed and sweated. "I...ah...like..."

"I had the best feast in my life." Axem Yellow said burping.

"Wait, you what?!" Axem Red asked and Axem Yellow jumped in shock.

"N-no, I meant I had the best search in my life for the kid, yeah, that's it!... You believe me, right?"

"...Frankly speaking, no." Axem Red said as he shook his head. "Whatever, thing is, the kid's ours and we're now en-route to Exor, since it's the only way to get to the Subspace inside that sword's mouth for the Blade to enter."

"There's trouble with that though..." Axem Green said. "The snowstorm that isn't normal at all because you...well, you know, is preventing the Blade from accelerating."

"...What?"

"Like, afraid so," Axem Pink said. "We're going like at 5 miles per hour...meaning that, like, it's a long way to reach the city..."

"And considering the time of our arrival..." Axem Green thought. "...I'd say we'll make it in...5 hours to reach Exor."

"...You've gotta be kidding me." Axem Red said.

"Nope, we should have made it in 10 minutes, but the force of this storm is just...stupid."

"...Great, I hate delays," Axem Red said crossing his arms. "But what's the point for Tabuu to make this weather so unusual? He wants to let the climate go as it is, but it's slowing us greatly!"

"I heard he's hiding something high above the clouds that nobody wants to suspect," Axem Yellow said. "...Do you think it's the las-"

"Don't divulge information out," Axem Black said looking to Chris. "Even if he's sleeping, he could hear us out."

"Do you think like the Smashers will like come over here and like rescue him?" Axem Pink asked.

"Nah, those guys are far below from our reach now," Axem Red said walking away with his team. "The only way to get here is by using some kind of airship or a vehicle...but that's unlikely to happen fortunately."

"We'll just have to wait until we reach Exor." Axem Black said as the others nodded and left the cell, leaving Chris behind.

"Wait, whatever happened to that old man?"

"I bet he was blasted away by my bombs, don't worry."

Once they left the cell, however, someone was able to infiltrate the ship from the air ducts and dropped just in front of the cell, it was Snake, who had several bruises but was able to keep on, he looked to Chris once he found him.

"Wow," Otacon said. "Things have changed so fast all of a sudden, haven't they?"

"Yeah," Snake said. "I can't believe I let my guard down and got winded up in this ship."

"Good thing you got in," Mei Ling said. "Otherwise Chris could have been kidnapped and taken away by them."

"By the way Snake, we all heard what you said to Lucario." Otacon said as Snake looked away.

"So? It was my only weapon to use and render him useless." Snake said.

"But that was so heartbraking for him... I feel so guilty for what you did." Mei Ling said a little ashamed.

"Mei Ling, it was me, not you."

"But even so, that was really mean."

"Figures..." Snake said opening the lock of the cell and ducked down to get a closer look. "Now, it's time to wake him up."

"Wait, are you going to take him as he's awake?" Otacon asked.

"I'll have to threaten him to get help and get out of this...floating crap."

"Oh man..."

"...Kid, wake up."

"U-ugh...huh?" Chris blinked confused and looked around. "Where...am I?... Sonic!" Chris stood up and continued to look around. "Sonic, where are you? What is your decision then? Are you going to... What the hell?!"

"You're up, that's a relief."

Chris backed away from Snake holding up his book of magic. "W-what?! H-how did you get here?! Where am I?! Where is everyone?! W-where is Lucario an-"

SLAP!

"Oww!"

"Kid, I know you're confused about this whole situation, but you'll have to obey and listen to me if you want to see another place than this dump," Snake said pulling back his hand as Chris rubbed his cheek. "But it will be a long time before you get to see your frien-"

"FIRE!"

Tales of Symphonia - Smile - Marta

"...Huh?...AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Snake's hair began to heat up as a flame took its place, the mercenary tried to pull out the fire with his hands panicking. "AAAAHHHH!!!" Snake was able to vanish the flame and glared at Chris. "Kid, I'll let that one slip out, but no-"

"FIRE!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Snake's head again burned greatly.

"Snake! I think you'll have to be the one under his command for now, you scared him a lot!" Otacon yelled.

"I'M GOING TO MURDER THIS KID, MELT HIS HELPLESS BODY INTO ACID AN-"

"FIRE!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"If you stop your threats against me, I will stop casting my magic on you!" Chris warned Snake as the mercenary got out from his problem.

"You're so dead no-" Snake's eyes widened when Chris's right hand was glowing with fire power as well as his book. "...Fine, I'll listen to you."

"Good." Chris said lowering his hand, stopping his magic from attacking the mercenary.

Music stops

"First, I have many questions in my mind," Chris looked around. "Where am I?"

"You're inside the ship of some freaky axe guys trying to take you to the "Subspace" thing." Snake explained.

"...Alright... I think those axe guys are...the Axem Rangers..." Chris tried hardly to stay calmed and went on with his questions.

20 minutes later...

"...All that happened when I was having a fever then?" Chris asked and Snake nodded. "...I am such a nuisance to them...they were trying to protect me from getting kidnapped and..."

"I may also say that this is Snake's fault as well, Chris." Mei Ling called out.

"...Wait, who was that?" Chris asked.

"Sorry for not introducing myself, I'm Mei Ling, I'm talking through Snake's communicator." Mei Ling with a chuckle.

"And I'm Otacon," Otacon called out. "Snake here tried to kidnap you when you were down."

"I'm Colonel, may as well introduce myself." Colonel said.

"...You all, were trying to...kidnap me?!" Chris asked in shock.

"Yeah, because you're the only one who can answer all our questions about this whole thing." Snake said.

"Questions? You mean all the things you saw through your hidden cameras around the mansion that you were using to spy on us?" Chris asked and Snake nodded. "W-what kind of questions are those?"

"The Subspace, the Smashers, why are our cameras in the mansion, and mostly," Otacon began. "The worlds, and the world where you came from."

Chris gulped. "Uh-oh..."

"Quite a shocker, right?" Snake asked. "We planned to kidnap you since if I went to the mansion and asked you, you'd refuse then."

"...Kidnap me?" Chris repeated looking down.

"Stop repeating the same thing before I'll do it the hard way."

"...All of you..."

"Yes?"

"All of you...ARE SUCH A BUNCH OF DORKS WITHOUT BRAINS!" Chris yelled angrily.

"What? Why?" Otacon asked confused.

"I would have responded to any questions from the beginning! I am a very kind person, the kindest person of the Smashers to be exact! Why kidnap me when you just could have asked nicely to me? I mean, yes, take me to your base sounded good, but for god's sake, I got into this mess because you were not able to ask me first? What is wrong with you?"

"...Wow, that was...all then?"

"Of course it is!" Chris said crossing his arms.

"...I told you guys," Mei Ling said. "The kidnapping was stupid from the beginning and you didn't listen to me even once."

"W-why are you blaming me?" Otacon asked. "If you want to blame someone, t-that would be Snake!"

"What?" Snake asked.

"Y-yeah! You said the kidnapping was a good idea, didn't you?"

"I-I didn't say that, it was the Colonel! He should receive all the fault then!"

"..." The Colonel was speechless but then he sighed. "...As the boss of all of you... I should accept all the blame."

"Guess so." Snake, Otacon and Mei Ling said rolling their eyes.

"So, are you going to take me back to the mansion with everyone else?" Chris asked with a serious tone in his voice.

"...Hold on," Snake interrupted. "Let's make a deal here."

"I am all ears now."

"If I help you return to your mansion, will you answer all our questions and doubts?"

"...I do not know..." Chris said looking away with a sarcastic not-caring expression. "I do not hear the magic word I wanted to hear from you..."

Snake grumbled in irritation. "...If I help you return to your mansion, will you be so kind to answer all our questions and doubts?"

"...Hmm... I do not know yet..."

"...Please?" Snake asked as his right eye twitched.

"...Heheh, that is more like it now." Chris said smiling to him with a nod. "Okay, I will, I want to see everyone again as soon as possible, and come to think of it, I want to see if Lucario managed to control his rage."

"...The dog I..." Snake shook his head.

"Wait, what were you going to say?"

"Nothing, it's nothing special."

"Oh? You mean all the insults that you said to Lucario?" Mei Ling asked.

Chris blinked. "...What insults are you talking about? I demand answers."

"Look kid, it's nothing important that you should know, what matters now is to get out of this thing." Snake said calmly.

Chris clenched his hands. "Sorry, but I need to know what did you say to Lucario, and if you said something that hurt his feelings, I am never going to forgive you, his feelings are still a little damaged, but an insult could break him apart in a second because he is very devouted to his beliefs."

"Well, that's what exactly Snake did." Mei Ling as Snake motioned to shut up.

"...Snake, tell me the truth, what did YOU say to Lucario?"

"...Ugh..." Snake grunted and looked away, Chris had him cornered where he wanted.

A silence fell in as the screen darkened...

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"And then that black guy came in and threw bombs everywhere, blowing up the room apart and created a smokescreen, I also saw 3 other figures running to the hole the black guy made first, when the smoke was gone, Chris was gone, Lucario was unconscious and the axe guy along with the mean man disappeared..." Flonne explained as she was sitting on the chair, most of the Smashers were listening to her explanation, except for Marth's group who were still out of cold in the hall they were in.

"This is just all of a sudden." Squirtle said.

"Did you manage to see something else, Flonne?" Pikachu asked.

"Well... I caught the sight of a ship going to the city but...I don't know why they're going there in the first place..."

"Maybe it's the Blade, the Axem Rangers's main ship." Mallow said.

"All the city has is a barrier that prevents us from entering, right?" Pit asked.

"Yes, the barrier that Exor created." Geno said with a nod before he blinked surprised. "Wait...now I see why they're going there."

"And...that's all..." Flonne finished.

"This is not good, they're planning to take Chris into the Subspace through Exor!" Geno said in a serious tone.

"They're taking Chris to Exor?" Mallow said rubbing his chin. "But I thought Exor was the gate to Smithy's world."

"Well, Smithy can decide what world he wants to be in, so it may be a possibility that Exor is a gate to the Subspace and Smithy's world as well, depending of how Smithy operates the sword." Geno explained.

"It was...my fault..." Lucario said looking down, he was able to recover his consciousness.

"Lucario..." Flonne trailed off looking at him.

"In any case," Master Hand began. "We must rescue Chris from the Axem Rangers before they get to the Subspace or else, I don't want to imagine what Chris is going to experience, the Subspace is the most dangerous world to dwell, if somebody gets lost in it, there's no way out from that."

"But what about the snowstorm?" Ivysaur asked. "It's pretty strong out there right now...brrr..."

"That's another issue," Yoshi said. "I doubt someone could last in that climate for so long."

"Yeah, I mean, who can resist the cold like me and Nana?" Popo asked hopping several times from his seat due to the coffee he drank.

Everyone stared at Popo after that.

"...Popo, you idiot! You and Nana can handle the coldest weather, right?" Pikachu asked and Popo nodded with a chuckle.

"Duh, we're the Ice Climbers, what are you, stupid?" Popo asked rhetorically.

"But even with them alone it's not going to make that much of a difference," Meta Knight said as he looked away. "And I can't chase that ship by flying, my wings wouldn't resist that much."

"That also goes for me as well." Pit said.

"What to do..." Diddy wondered scratching his head.

"Well, we can't waste much more time, every second counts!" Sonic said crossing his arms. "The more we think, the more Chris will get away from our reach!"

"Sonic, go and get Nana, I'll try to think of somethi-" Master Hand said but Sonic was already gone.

"...Do you at least know where's Nana?" Fox asked and then, Sonic returned. "...You don't, right?"

"No idea, heheh." Sonic said chuckling as Fox facepalmed.

Toon Link's Room

The young Smashers were playing a game of the hot potato by this time, Raven was meanwhile sleeping deeply under the bed, making long snores.

"...When is he going to stop snoring?" Lucas asked covering his ears.

"Who knows, old men can snore for long periods of time," Ness said shuddering by the cold. "B-by the way, do you think something happened when that explosion occurred?"

"I don't know," Nana said throwing the potato away. "But something's worrying me though..."

"Raven?" Toon Link asked.

"Not the lazy old man! I mean something else!" Nana yelled as then the door opened, all of them looked and got a little shocked after Etna and Estelle were standing there. "...Um...hello?"

"Oh, sorry for interrupting, but have you seen an old man with long purple coat and funny hair around here?" Estelle asked with a polite bow as she noticed the snores. "...Is anybody sleeping here?"

Toon Link sweated as he looked below the bed. "Er...no? Nope! There's nobody sleeping in here!"

"But those snores are awfully loud and...they somehow feel so familiar..." Estelle said putting a finger close to her chin.

"T-there's definitely nobody snoring in here!" Toon Link shouted flailing his arms as the young Smashers made bored looks.

"...Wow, didn't know he was a fan of him." Ness whispered to Lucas.

"..." Etna made a bored look to Toon Link. "...I think he's not here either, c'mon, I'll give you your own room to rest for the night...but not telling to the hand, got it?" Etna said walking away as Estelle gasped and followed her.

"R-right away!" Estelle yelled running away as Toon Link sighed in relief.

"...Damn, that was close." Toon Link wiping out the sweat. "How come you guys didn't do anything?"

"Because of the fact that we're not the "Crazy Rabbid Raven's Fan Club's members" as you are." Nana said rolling her eyes.

"Well, you could've at least helped me!"

"Toon Link, we just helped you because you promised to us that you were going to give us each 1000 Rupees."

"...I did that Ness?"

"Hell yes you did." Ness said nodding.

"...Dang it!"

"You guys!" Sonic appeared in the door. "Where's Lala?"

"...You mean Nana," Nana said a little annoyed as she stood up. "What?"

"This is serious, Chris..."

Command Room

The young Smashers decided to join up the meeting, but left Toon Link behind with Raven since the old man was still sleeping deeply.

"Please, tell me you're not sending me and my brother alone, we're too few to save Chris!" Nana protested grabbing his brother's right hand. "And who the hell asked you to give him coffee? He gets a lot weirder than usual!"

"ButNanaI'mFine!" Popo said extremely quickly as he hopped up and down, pupils spinning madly at this moment.

"Oh, great, he's insane, now is going to be a headache to get him to sleep."

"But you can resist the weather outside, can't you?" Pikachu asked.

"Well, yeah, that's true, but we need more people before we go out, who knows if us alone is enough!" Nana pointed at Fox. "How about you for example? Where's your weird mini-battleship thing? It would be a LOT of help in this situation right now!"

"It's "Arwing" and second, I don't have it here with me." Fox said crossing his arms.

"...Yes, I knew you were going to say that," Nana said frowning as she took out her hammer. "Even so, we need people, and people who can tolerate the climate even a bit, who's coming with me?"

A cricket happened to pass by and chirped several times, nobody wanted to raise their hands as Nana stared at them with bored looks.

"...Who let that bug in?" Nana asked before she smashed the cricket. "Okay, who's coming?"

Another cricket (hidden somewhere) chirped as nobody did anything.

"...Seriously! This is not a joke, who's coming?"

The cricket stopped chirping and they just only blinked.

"...You know what? You all want to get Chris so screwed, fine! Be that way! I'm the only person cares for him here?!"

"Lucario!" Flonne yelled loudly and Lucario shook his head in surprise, because he was still lamenting himself for what happened.

"Y-yes?" Lucario asked.

"Are you going to rescue Chris or not?"

"...I...I..."

"DECIDE NOW, QUICK!"

"...Yes!" Lucario said nodding.

"Good, Lucario is both a Steel type and Fighting type, he can handle the snow for long periods of time like Popo and Nana." Pikachu said. "...Wait, where's Mewtwo?"

"Right here," Mewtwo appeared in the room as he used Teleport. "I've been recovering my energies because of the training with Lucario." Lucario looked away embarrassed. "...But I managed to keep track of the events as well."

"Can you use Teleport to appear in the ship then?" Pichu asked but Mewtwo shook his head.

"I need first to get there to know the area before I can use Teleport effectively," Mewtwo said closing his eyes. "But I can't do that right now, the climate outside it's just too strong to use Teleport in a known area, it's discrupting my senses a lot."

"Then you're so useless as everyone else here," Nana said frowning turning to the hallway with Lucario. "Okay, you all wait here, after all, since nobody wants to save Chris, well, screw you, I'll get all the credit for this."

"AndWhatAboutLucario?" Popo asked pointing quickly to Lucario who was still ashamed.

"...Well, mostly him I think," Nana said as she shook her head. "...Whatever, let's go!"

And the trio ran to the main lobby where they left to the strong weather outside and closed the door.

"...I-I'm going too!" Lucas yelled running away.

"Heh, that kid got a dead wish." Wolf said frowning as he saw Fox running away as well. "...And him as well?... Damn then...fine, I'll go too...stupid kid..." Wolf muttered as he ran away.

"...Chris! Wait for me!" DK yelled running away.

"DK! Wait for me!" Diddy yelled following DK.

"I-ah-wait! I'm coming too!" Pichu yelled running away.

"Oh no, you're all trying to convince me into going too?... Then screw the snow!" Pikachu said annoyed as he ran away.

"Squirtle, Ivysaur, let's go!" Red said running away with Squirtle...and only him.

"Forget it, snow bad for Ivysaur, so bad." Ivysaur said in third-person, hiding below a desk as Sonic passed right besides him.

"See ya!" Sonic yelled running away at a high speed.

"...Oh boy..." Olimar shrugged as he "ran" away with them.

"...Er... I'm going too..." Ness said unsure as he walked away.

"...May as well go with them." Meta Knight said to Pit who nodded and both ran away.

"...I..." Yoshi looked to Master Hand. "...Can I look where is Link first?"

"Oh, right, he must be still somewhere, go and get him." Master Hand said as Yoshi nodded and ran away.

"Geno!" Mallow yelled startling Geno and Twink.

"O-oh, right!" Geno said nodding in shock as the trio ran away.

Master Hand cleared his throat once Kirby and Jigglypuff were the only ones left. "...So?"

"So what?" Jigglypuff asked.

"...Let's go..." Kirby said taking her hand as they walked away from the room.

"...Mewtwo?" Master Hand asked and Mewtwo narrowed his eyes at him.

"I hate the cold." Mewtwo stated crossing his arms.

"...But you shoul-"

"I HATE the cold." Mewtwo said glaring at him as Master Hand backed away trembling a little.

"See? He hates it as well, let him be," Ivysaur said smiling a little as he looked to Flonne. "And what are you going to do?"

"I...I want to stay behind and see where's Etna." Flonne said walking away calmly, she in reality was thinking to herself. "(Please, Lucario, it's not your fault, it's useless to lament for what happened...)"

[DededeCloneChris]

The Blade
Cell

"...Snake, that was really unnecessary of you..." Chris said looking down. "How could you do that?"

"Kid, it was the only way t-" Snake was interrupted.

"I know, kidnap me, I still think that was really mean of you!" Chris said angrily with a glare. "Once we get back to the mansion, I want you to apologize to Lucario, and I want to hear an acceptance from him as well!"

"Like a kid is going t-"

"FIRE!"

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!! STOP IT!" Snake yelled, this time, the fire appeared on his butt and he cleared it out in panic.

"We have a deal now?" Chris asked crossing his arms.

"...Fine, deal, but no more fire spells on me..." Snake said grumbling a little.

"That settles it then," Chris said as he sighed. "...But the main problem is this place, I do not know how long is this from the inside, I did not see anything else before."

"Guess we'll have to work together to get out from this junk."

"...I don't have another choice..."

"Hey, I thought you were going to say "do not" again."

"People makes mistakes sometimes, I am not perfect anyway." Chris said walking out with an annoyed face as Snake followed him.

Snake temporarily joined your team!

Persona 4 - Secret Base

Both of them walked to the stairs and went up, the next room was just a bunch of old machinery scattered around the floor as they looked around.

"Machines," Snake began. "Something is going on in here."

"I agree," Chris said adjusting his glasses. "This is the ship of the Axem Rangers, is not it? I kind of...expected that they would have metalic things around I guess."

"Otacon, Mei Ling, can you both analyze the surroundings?"

"Sorry Snake," Mei Ling began. "I'm afraid we don't have a map of the complex that you both are currently in, so you'll have to explore until you find the exit."

"Everything is going down for the worse then." Snake said as Chris spotted various windows looking outside, the World Traveler blinked before he walked to them and looked outside.

"...This climate is very strong..." Chris muttered as he breath was seen as steam. "But if my calculations are accurate, this airship is not moving very fast."

"Why is that?" Snake asked.

"Technically, the whole ship is itself too heavy to move in the air, and the snowstorm outside renders its movement through the sleet," Otacon said. "Remember? Just like Shadow Moses Island, only specialized choppers can fly through."

"You mean any kind."

"...Yeah, pretty much." Otacon said with a chuckle.

"Anyway, the windows are too small to get out," Chris began finding more stairs. "I think we can advance further, let us go and hope for safety out of this place."

"Hold on." Snake said stepping in front of him.

"What?"

"I'm going in the front."

Chris made an angry look and put his book on his lap. "Just because you are an adult does not mean you have to be in the front."

"No, it's not that." Snake said shaking his head a little.

"Then what is?"

"Your safety over mine."

Chris could only blink in surprise but he shook his head a little with some trails of blushes. "Oh, I see now...fine, go on before me."

And both continued their way through the ship as they climbed the stairs, if they hurried in getting out from the ship, then there was hope to escape and get away if they could resist the climate outside.

"So, Snake..." Chris trailed off, looking down as they walked through a corridor.

"Spill it, I know you want to ask me something." Snake said.

"Well... I was wondering if you could...join us."

"...And why should I?"

"Because I did not bother to play yo-I mean, I did not bother to know your world very much and I thought it would be a bad idea to go to a world that I do not know about...and since you are here trying to find a way out...would you plea-"

"Sorry kid," Snake said looking away. "I have better things to do first."

"Like?"

"...Getting out of here."

"That is one, but what else?"

"...Nothing...nothing else." Snake said frowning.

"Then please, come with us, you are one of us too, that is also another reason why your cameras are all over the mansion, because you set them when..."

"When?"

"...I rather not talk about it right now...however, I would if you could do me that favor..."

"...Hmph, I don't make any promises."

"...I understand..." Chris said closing his eyes in shame.

Outside

The snowstorm was just too much so see something through, with a closer look, we see the Smashers running through as they covered their faces, most of them had to wear fur coats because either they didn't tolerate the cold or they just used them to avoid getting a cold, and since the weather was strong, they had to yell in order to stay in contact.

"Come on! We have to keep moving!" Nana yelled running through the covered road with snow.

"Lucario, can you sense something with your aura yet?!" Pikachu asked.

"I-I'm sorry, but I can't locate anything with the snow's force, it's discrupting my senses as Mewtwo's!" Lucario yelled as he clenched his fangs.

"Let's just hope we can find them and fast!" Mallow yelled.

"Meanwhile, IWillStareAtTheHugeShipMovingIncrediblySlowAboveUs!" Popo yelled insanely quickly.

"I-I-I didn't hear you, w-w-what did you say?! Achoo!" Sonic asked as he sneezed, he was so stubborn to get out without wearing a fur coat.

"...What did you say?!" Mallow yelled loudly.

"What?!"

"What?!" Pikachu asked.

"What?!" Pit asked.

"STOP!" Meta Knight yelled. "Above us, the ship!" Meta Knight yelled pointing at a shadowy ship above them, the ship wasn't moving too fast and they stopped their feet and looked above.

"...So basically, we ran 10 feet away from the mansion?!" Twink asked looking at the mansion, which was exactly 10 feet away from them.

"...Who cares!" Ness yelled looking at the ship. "We have to get in, but it's too high above! Who can jump that high?!"

"Lucario!" Pikachu yelled.

"I-I can reach the ship with my jumps, but I can take 2 at a time before I get back here!" Lucario yelled as Ness and Lucas grabbed his hands, the trio nodded and the Aura Pokémon jumped very high and reached the rear part of the ship, just behind the turbines of the ship, Lucario jumped back to the snow and got 2 more, after a while, everyone was now aboard the ship where they entered inside an air duct.

Axem Rangers's Main Room

"We're almost there," Axem Red said looking to Exor from very far away. "We just need to enter and Tabuu will be very pleased with our success! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"He's out of it now." Axem Green whispered.

"...Why isn't this thing going faster?!" Axem Red asked stomping the floor angrily. "We're never going to make it in time to get our new ranks!"

"Or mine!" Axem Green yelled.

"Or my food!" Axem Yellow yelled.

"Or, like, my expensive makeup!" Axem Pink yelled.

"Would you 4 shut up?!" Axem Black yelled as the 4 glared at him. "We don't much of a choice right now, we need to move at this speed sadly...and I need my new shades as well as your things."

"At least," Axem Green got a happy expression. "We got what we wanted after all! Tabuu will award us with the biggest present, and think about it, we're the only ones who have made progress on his deeds instead of the others!"

"And like, don't forget about Lord Smithy!" Axem Pink said squealing.

"We have 2 prizes for the exchange of 1, sweet!" Axem Red said spinning his axe above him. "We can ask for power, money, EVERYTHING!"

"Just let me take a look to the cell and see our hostage." Axem Green said walking over to the monitor where he clicked (if he had fingers to begin with), he began to see the security cameras. "...Well, look at that." Axem Green said pointing at a familiar card with a star.

"The Star Spirit, Klevar," Axem Black said rubbing his chin. "I forgot we had him concealed withing our ship."

"Yeah, like, it's the source for our weapon, right?" Axem Pink asked and Axem Red chuckled.

"Yep, if this was taken away, then we'll be screwed over by Tabuu or Smithy or both." Axem Green said shuddering a little.

"Hopefully, it's well hidden." Axem Yellow said as Axem Green kept looking the cameras, ignoring an important one at first when he selected the cameras from the cell.

"Oh, look, either my eyes are blind or the kid got invisible." Axem Red said rubbing his chin.

"Like, wow, now I know why Tabuu wanted him, like, so badly." Axem Pink remarked nodding.

"..." Axem Black frowned at his companions's idiocy. "...Guys, the kid's gone, the cell is empty, and also, Axem Green ignored a camera where the kid and that old man were walking."

"...Oh, you mean this?" Axem Green asked selecting the camera where Chris and Snake were walking through a solitary hallway. "Well, they're getting through our ship alright..."

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

"CRAP! HE'S BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN!"

"This isn't good, this ISN'T GOOD!" Axem Yellow said panicking.

"Smithy or Tabuu or both will have our heads for dinner!"

"OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN! WE HAVE TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING AWAY!" Axem Red panicked before Axem Black slapped his face. "Oh, thank you, I needed that... WE HAVE TO STOP KID FROM GETTING AWAY!"

"And like what about the old man with the tight butt?" Axem Pink asked.

"...Think Tabuu wants him as well?" Axem Green asked.

"...It could be a perfect excuse to save us from our delay." Axem Black said.

"...Then Axem Rangers, MOVE OOOOOOOOUUUUUUTTTTTT!!!" Axem Red commanded as the 5 ran downstairs, rather than teleporting swiftly around like they do.

However, they ignored the figures getting through the air ducts, which of course wasn't going to be so good for them at all.

Air ducts

"You know what's worse than rescuing a kid inside a ship with probably the most poor excuse of henchmen of another person?" Wolf asked.

"No, what is it?" Pit asked.

"Stare at your rival's butt through this small space," Wolf said looking in front of him. "Even worse, I think someone farted in here."

"Eww, Fox, youAreNasty." Popo said insanely fast as he trembled.

"Wolf, shut up," Fox said annoyed as all the group went crouching their way through the ducts. "The only last thing we want to hear is you complaining about small facts that aren't that frustrating."

"But it is very frustrating, I assure you." Wolf said.

"I have a better idea," Jigglypuff said. "How about if we all SHUT UP and stop complaining?"

"...Lucario?" Pikachu looked back to Lucario. "Are you okay?"

"...Yes..." Lucario responded with a nod.

"...Look, I've been in many situations like this with Ash and the others, and trust me, everything always goes alright in the end."

"...Pikachu..."

"Yes?" Pikachu asked with a small smile.

"...Don't get me wrong but...this isn't Team Rocket that we're talking about right now..."

"...Oops." Pikachu said sweatdropping with a chuckle. "...Wait, hold on, how do you know about Team Rocket if I didn't tell you about them?"

"I-it's because...that's not important right now..."

"...Okay?" Pikachu said as they all went further inside. "...But if it helps you...just be like you always are."

"A mindless person with pure rage?"

Pikachu sighed in disappointment. "Seriously, you have to get over it sooner or later...but SOONER, now."

"...I just can't...sorry..."

"...Chris will get worried you know." Jigglypuff said.

"..." Lucario just remained silent as Pikachu and Jigglypuff looked worried about the Aura Pokémon.

"Squirtle." Red called.

"Yeah?" Squirtle asked.

"Aren't you going to cheer him up or something?"

"I thought that was your job."

"W-well, maybe, but you're a Pokémon like him, so cheer him up!"

"I...don't want to do it, I mean, Pikachu is better than me..."

"I hate to interrupt," Geno said. "But I think Lucario needs to resolve this by himself for now, we must rescue Chris and get back to the mansion."

"While we're here," Mallow began. "Why not defeat the Axem Rangers in the process? They could, you know, have a Star Spirit in their hands."

"...The Star Spirit!" Geno said blinking surprised. "Yes, I forgot, every henchmen of Tabuu or Smithy always had a Star Spirit to protect from us, the Axem Rangers must be also in charge of the next one!"

"And if we rescue the Star Spirit, then we'll have one more left to rescue!" Twink said.

"Then we can enter inside Exor and challenge Smithy after finding him in his factory again..."

"...It's not the same without Mario and Peach, is it?"

"..." Geno shook his head. "But see the bright side, we have even more persons with us this time that we did years ago."

"Well," Twink smiled. "That's true."

"...Let's hope there's nothing dangerous ahead."

"...Wait a minute," Mallow looked behind him. "Where's DK?"

"Oh, DK?" Kirby asked. "He was too big to fit in so he remained outside with Diddy."

Outside

"...Why aren't there any doors outside?" DK asked to Diddy as they were sitting near the ducts.

"Because it would be useless to have doors near the turbines?" Diddy asked with a sigh.

"...And why are there air ducts below the turbines anyway?"

"Beats me," Diddy said throwing his hands up as a familiar figure was seen flying close to them. "Hey, aren't you that Paratroopa?"

The figure was Parakarry who seemed to be carrying something, the Paratroopa had a hardtime flying through the sleet that he got lost in the air. "Oh, DK, Diddy! What are you doing in this height? It's dangerous to stay here near these...turbines?! What's happening here?"

DK and Diddy explained everything to Parakarry, who nodded every 2 seconds.

"I see now...well, all I can do is wish you guys look good, this ship is going towards Nintendo City as you're here doing nothing," DK and Diddy looked at him annoyed. "...However," Parakarry glared at the clouds. "I've got this weird feeling about the climate..."

"What's strange? That's just strong?" Diddy asked but Parakarry shook his head.

"No, I mean, those clouds are so oddly familiar...and this snowstorm is familiar as well but...nah, it couldn't be, weird ideas from a Paratroopa like me, don't mind me, heheh." Parakarry said with a chuckle.

"Wait, before you go, can you take us to the upper part of the ship?" Diddy asked and Parakarry chuckled a little.

"Sure! I've gotten stronger all these years ever since I traveled with Mario, I can carry you 2 at the same time if yo-"

"Hop on!" DK yelled jumping to Parakarry's shell along with Diddy, the Paratroopa began to pant heavily and flew slowly above the ship, carefully evading the turbines in their way.

"O-oof!... W-wait...who's the fat one here?" Parakarry asked struggling to fly upwards.

"I'm not fat, I'm strong." DK said as a toon vein appeared on his forehead.

"Hmm..." Diddy tilted his head as he glanced upwards. "...Weird, there's like, I don't know, a dome over there."

"A dome?" DK asked confused.

Close to the central area

The World Traveler and the spy soldier were still navigating through the ship, not finding any kind of way out apparently and got even closer to the center of the ship instead without even knowing it.

"How can this ship be so big?" Chris asked looking around. "At this rate, we are never going to find the way out of here."

"Beats me kid," Snake said looking around as well. "This place is just like a maze to me, a maze that I don't even know that existed."

"That could include me in the same category." Chris said adjusting his glasses.

"Um, sorry for interrupting your moment but..."

Both of them stopped as Chris took out his DS. "Oh, Professor Kawashima! I forgot about you all along."

Kawashima made an angry expression. "Well, you could've asked me about the Axem Rangers's ship, I know the layout of the entire area and where's the exit as well."

"An interactive tutorial..." Snake said rubbing his chin. "Things here keep surprising me."

"Oh, oh! Can I examine that if you feel like bringing it to me?" Otacon asked.

"Sorry, but no," Chris said closing his eyes as Otacon groaned disappointed. "So, can you tell us where is the exit?"

"Actually...now that you're inside the ship of those weirdos, you should start looking for the next Star Spirit." Kawashima said shifting his eyes.

"The Star Spirit is here?"

"No doubt about it, it seems it's somewhere close to your location."

"...Well, tell us!"

Kawashima sweatdropped. "Forgive me Chris! The area around the Star Spirit is really blurry for me to examine due to something using the star as its source of energy, it shouldn't be too far from where you 2 are so, you should hurry up!" Kawashima said as he turned himself off with the DS.

"Kid, we're not going for some odd star just because you have to."

"...Too bad," Chris said as his book and right hand were glowing a red bright color. "Now we have another deal?"

"...This will only make me stay away from you, I'm warning you." Snake said with a frowned as Chris stopped his magic, both of them found another way and they decided to follow it, to another emptyness of darkness since the lights were off. "...Do you hear someone whimpering?"

"I-I-I am sorry but... I-I-I am afraid of darkness..." Chris said studdering.

"...Now I ask myself, how did I end up with some coward kid?"

"Snake, stop being such an ass." Mei Ling said a little irritated, caughing off-guard everyone, even the Colonel.

"...Wow, and I thought here she had good manners." Otacon said.

"...I need to stop being an insulter all the time." Snake muttered as both walked through the darkness.

"D-d-do you have something to illuminate this hallway?" Chris asked.

"Why don't you use that weird glow from your hand to make some light?"

"...Oh, you are right, sorry, heheheh." Chris said scratching the back from his head as his right hand glowed a red color, however he didn't want to cast the spell Fire, the World Traveler sighed as he heard something. "Wait, did you chuckle?"

"What?" Snake said stopping. "No, why would I chuckle in a moment like this?"

"...Wait a minute," Chris stared at his hand. "...I think I have figured out a way to be ready to cast a quick spell...yes! If I let my hand glow, I could cast a spell in less than a second for a surprise attack!"

"That's great and all, but keep moving." Snake said as Chris frowned.

"You do not seriously know the benefits, right? I need time to chant a spell before the spell acts by itself, but if I focus my energy and keep it at bay, I could chant the spell and use the spell in store."

"But then you wouldn't cast a spell in less than a second because you have to chant before yelling out that magic." Snake pointed out as Chris blushed embarrassed.

"O-okay, I made some miscalculations, people makes mistakes, did not I tell you before?" Chris asked.

"(...This kid is really something when someone has time to talk with him...now I see why everyone in that mansion enjoy their together.)" Snake thought hiding a small smile.

"...I can detect it!" Kawashima called out.

Music stops

"What?" Chris asked stopping with Snake.

"The Star Spirit, is really close!"

Snake examined the darkness around, he could hear some echos around by their footsteps in the floor of steel. "...This place is kind of big."

"Spacious." Mei Ling pointed out.

"And enormous." Otacon added.

"Spacious, only that." Mei Ling said with a chuckle.

"I cannot illuminate much more here," Chris said shuddering a little. "I can only illuminate this small radius, sorry for disappointing you all."

"But I should be the one disappointed, instead!" A voice yelled from the darkness, both of them looked around to find the source.

"W-who is there?" Chris asked with his magic ready to attack.

Suddenly, lights began to turn on, and both found themselves inside a dome with a big field, on the other side of the field, the Axem Rangers were there glaring at the 2, standing in front of the same machine that they used against Mario, Geno and Mallow years ago, the Star Spirit in his card form inside a tube that was embedded to the machine.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Behind Us

Axem Red stepped in front of the group with his axe on his right hand, he tapped the floor slightly with it before speaking. "Look what do we have here, it's the utterly annoying nerdy kid with glasses that couldn't be a good kid and stay in his cell, and the weirdo that just happened to wind up in our whole kidnapping part!"

"No, you have it wrong, you interrupted my kidnapping." Snake said as Chris looked away.

"But guess what? This, it's the end of your line, we're going to take the kid with us you like or not!"

Axem Black stepped by his right side and put his axe above his right shoulder. "You 2 should get out from Smithy's way once and for all, even Tabuu has been upset with the kid's action against his army."

"B-but that is because what Smithy is doing right now i-" Chris was interrupted.

"Yeah yeah, wrong, but no, you have it all wrong, this is for a better universe."

"T-that is what you think at least!"

Axem Yellow walked to Axem Red's left side and his stomach grumbled a little. "Your food was so good, but as Axem Black said before, I won't fall behind to stop you from getting away and spoil me my future dinner as a reward!"

"And talk about pathetic..." Snake muttered with a frown as Axem Yellow glared at him.

"W-what's so pathetic about eating all what you want? You don't understand anything! Not even a pie!"

Axem Pink stepped by Axem Black's side and she made a "go away" gesture with her hand. "Like, you should surrender now, because like we're going to inflict so much pain in, like, your dear little bodies as you scream in, like, agony, like, yes!" Axem Pink squealed.

"Even if you are more than us, that does not mean we can't try, right?" Chris asked.

Axem Pink giggled as she glared at Chris. "Like, you don't understand, the more the allies are, like, there, the easier our task gets!"

Axem Green stepped by Axem Yellow's left side and swung his axe a little above him. "Don't underestimate us just because we don't have the Shadow Bugs to enhance our powers, we're not going to have too many problems with only 2 pests like an old man and a kid!"

"...I somewhat doubt that..." Snake said.

"What?" Axem Green asked glaring at him.

"I've heard of single men that fought battles against an entire army of soldiers, and surpringly, only a person with good strategies and tactics in battle can decide the result after the fight."

"Mei Ling, did you give him that book about wars?" Otacon asked and Mei Ling nodded with a giggle.

"Snake, that was really important coming from you." Chris remarked adjusting his glasses.

"Tsk." Snake looked away.

Axem Red continued to talk. "Ha! That's a laugh." Axem Red pointed at the machine behind him. "If we can't defeat you, then our machine will as hell end the job for us!"

"The Star Spirit will strengthen the Blade's power!" Axem Green said.

"You're inferior compared to the power of this magnificent piece of metal." Axem Black said.

"And you will like be so sorry about fighting us." Axem Pink said.

"Our reward is waiting for us...we came so far just to fail!" Axem Yellow said.

Super Mario RPG - Armed Boss

"We fight for evil!" Axem Red said swinging his axe and stepped a litte further ahead of the group.

"We live for disorder!" Axem Black stated doing 2 sideways swings of his axe, also walking a little bit.

"We like what we do!" Axem Green proclaimed lifting his hand in the air without moving.

"We struggle for chaos!" Axem Pink said throwing a kiss with a wink.

"We are..." Axem Yellow trailed off as he spun his axe and slammed it into the floor.

"The AXEM RANGERS!!!" The Axem Rangers yelled doing their actions again as they backstepped and ran to different directions to confuse their opponents.

"Snake, be careful, the mouse cornered in the alley could attack the cat at any time." Colonel said.

"...Right..." Snake trailed off as Axem Black ran to him.

[DededeCloneChris]

"I've always wanted to do this," Axem Black said taking out a bomb that he threw to Snake, however Snake frowned, took the bomb and returned it quickly where it exploded in his target. "Ugh! What?!"

"I've been training self-defense a lot and a simple attack won't reach me." Snake said delivering a kick on Axem Black, the ranger yelled in pain as he bumped in the floor but regained his stance.

"That was really good, Snake." Mei Ling remarked with a giggle.

"Freeze them up, BLIZZARD!" Chris casted a small cold breeze on all the Axem Rangers, damaging them a little with ice damage.

"Oh, you think you're the best using magic? Think again!" Axem Green shouted concentrating his magic. "Solidify!"

A sheer of cold covered the field and froze up both Chris and Snake, before it shattered and they grunted in pain. "I-I admit it..." Chris said embracing himself. "T-that caught me off-guard but I will not...s-s-surrender now! M-m-my life is at risk!" Chris said focusing his magic once again before Axem Red teleported in front of him in midair.

"You're not going to know how much I'll enjoy chopping down your head off!" Axem Red yelled raising his axe, but just then, a grenade was thrown to his pipe-like mouth and the ranger blinked shocked before it exploded, sending him crashing into the floor.

"Thank you very much." Chris said with a nod to Snake.

"Oh like, that was so fast and mean at the same time," Axem Pink said as she got an idea. "Do you feel mushroomy now? Heheheh, Petal Blast!"

Petals began to appear around the field and Chris gasped. "No, I need to stop this attack and fast...wait... Burn in ashes, Fire!"

The petals were instantly ignited in small fire that made them vanish in thin air, Chris closed his eyes and resist the outcome but as his thoughts predicted, nothing happened and Axem Pink cursed under her breath. "Like what happened?! How did you, like, find out that there's a way to cancel my attack?!"

"AXEM PINK, SHUT UP, DON'T GIVE OUT IDEAS!" Axem Red yelled as Snake tackled him down with a quick move, Snake began to punch the ranger in the face but then Axem Yellow pushed Snake away.

"Meteor Blast!" Axem Green called out multiple bursts of stars that damaged both opponents considerably.

"I need to use something else instead of magic!" Chris said panting a little as he looked at Klevar's card in the machine. "...The Star Spirits! I forgot about them!" Chris joined his hands together and prayed to the stars, then, Skolar came out spinning and looked at Chris.

"Do you need my help?" Skolar asked.

"Yes, please strike all of them down!" Chris ordered as the Star Spirit nodded and called forth a cascade of stars that damaged every single one of them, after 5 seconds, the attack stopped and the Axem Rangers yelled in pain. "Thank you for your help." Chris said with a bow.

"Please, don't hesitate to call us again." Skolar said spinning before he vanished.

"Kid, I need help over!" Snake said as Axem Red, Axem Black and Axem Yellow tried to slash the soldier, then, Axem Black moved forward and made contact with Snake, making him yell in pain as the trio went all of him.

"Chris, I think a change of jobs would be good right now, magic isn't that effective!" Kawashima suggested.

"...Then I will use Ninjutsu skills!" Chris said changing to his Ninja job where he began to make lots of hand signs.

"Oh, like, no you don't!" Axem Pink yelled running towards Chris to slash him with her axe.

"Let's take him on then!" Axem Green said running together with Axem Pink as both jumpedand raised their axes to slam them at the World Traveler.

"(Got you,)" Chris thought as he stopped his hand signs with a last one. "Thunder Style, Blitz Jutsu!"

Lots of impacts from thunderbolts fell around the whole field and the Axem Rangers yelled in pain, Snake took this opportunity to make his 3 opponents trip by slidding his leg quickly, then he took out 3 grenades that later exploded once he rolled back, making a great amount of damage at the same time.

"Dammit, somebody stop him from using magic or whatever he uses on us!" Axem Red yelled as he stood up, not before Snake punched him 2 times, followed by a quick kick on the face. "I'm really getting sick of you SO MUCH!"

"Then..." Axem Green stood up once the attack ended and glared at Chris. "Elegy!"

"Elegy?" Chris repeated confused as a bell of light appeared above him, the bell began to play a sad music and notes fell around the World Traveler, Chris felt something extremely sad inside of him that he looked down depressed, when the bell vanished, it finished the effect and made Chris mute. "!!!" Chris tried to yell but it was useless, he was silenced and thus magic was out from his reach.

"Ha! And for the next magic, Static E!" Axem Green shouted as waves of electricity quickly damaged Chris and Snake, the World Traveler tried to yell but nothing came out from his mouth.

"Chris was silenced, you have to keep an eye on him!" Kawashima yelled from Chris's pocket.

"How about if I have some help over here?" Snake muttered as Axem Yellow threw a weird rainbow-colored ball at him that Snake easily dodged, but then Axem Red used Flame to burn him, after that, Axem Black used Spritz Bomb to explode bombs around Snake, the soldier yelled in pain after he rolled away from them. "This is not good...they're all ganging up on us..."

Chris only made an angry expression and jumped high in the air, he quickly took out from his belt many shurikens that he revealed by moving his fingers, after that, he threw all of them at the same spot, that was Axem Green's stomach, the ranger's eyes widened as every shuriken came in contact with his thin body that he yelled in pain, the World Traveler landed back and glared at him.

"For being silenced...you're strong..." Axem Green said standing up using his axe. "But...that doesn't mean...I need to stop either! Solidify!"

Another sheer of cold covered the whole field, but for Axem Green's surprise, Chris managed to dodge the attack in time but Snake wasn't that fortunate and got into a sharp ice needle that shattered after 2 seconds. "Now...I know why I hate magic..." Snake said panting heavily.

"B-but how could you dodge my magic?! Is unavoidable!" Axem Green yelled at Chris demanding for an answer.

"The Ninja job grants a high evasion to Chris, it's not going to be easy to land a hit on him, even magic can't reach him!" Kawashima explained as Axem Green stomped the floor angrily.

Chris tried to speak with Snake, but it was useless, no words came out and he looked ashamed before he pointed at Axem Green.

"What? You're mad at me because you can't talk anymore?" Axem Green asked and Chris nodded, but the ranger merely chuckled. "Ha, sucks to be you now! The only thing that can heal you is defeating the same person who put the spell on you an-" Axem Green sweatdropped as Chris took out 5 shurikens. "...AXEM PINK! HELP!"

"L-like, right!" Axem Pink said nodding desperated before she jumped and tried to slash Chris, but the World Traveler kept dodging her moves, getting her on her nerves. "Like, stop moving, I can't hit you!" Axem Pink complained as she missed 5 pointy objects going towards Axem Green.

"Look out! OH, DAMMIT, AAAAHHHH!!!" Axem Green yelled as the weapons made contact with him and dealt a great amount of damage to the ranger, who panted heavily as he tried to stay on his feet.

"Wha-like, AAHH!!!" Axem Pink yelled as Chris took out a katana from his back and slashed her several times before sending her to the air with an upward slash, then the ninja spun 1 time and jumped to hit her right in the stomach, Axem Pink yelled in pain as she bumped several times in the floor before she slid and stopped.

"I can't believe...he's taking both...of us down!" Axem Green said with a frown as he panted. "Axem Pink, recover me!"

"Axem Red!!!" Axem Pink yelled angrily after thinking he situation carefully.

"WHAT?!" Axem Red asked as he stepped on one of Snake's mines.

"My makeup's running!" Axem Pink yelled running towards the Star Spirit's card.

"TOO BAD!" Axem Red yelled as the mine exploded, sending him above in the air where Snake jumped and slammed his right foot on his head, the red ranger grunted in pain as he crashed into the floor before Axem Yellow's Poison attack.

"!!!" Chris tried to speak but it was useless until he looked to Axem Green and glared at him.

"Crap...my energies are almost gone..." Axem Green muttered before bombs fell around Chris and exploded, the World Traveler suffered a moderate amount of damage as Axem Black appeared in a flash before Axem Green.

"Leave him to me, meanwhile attack using magic as you always do." Axem Black said spinning his axe a little.

"Roger that...but I don't think I-"

"Shoot!" Axem Black said after Chris leaped out from the smoke of the bombs, quickly ran at the rangers and slashed Axem Green with a fast slash of his katana, the World Traveler closed his eyes before Axem Green yelled in pain.

"Axem Red!!!" Axem Green yelled angrily.

"What?!" Axem Red asked as Snake sent Axem Yellow crash into the wall.

"I have a headache!" Axem Green complained as he joined Axem Pink who was looking down, low in energies close to the Star Spirit.

"Get some pills!" Axem Red yelled back.

"...So much for that," Axem Black said glancing at Chris. "Well, don't think I'm going to be easy to take down, you're out of luck this time, to show you my apologies, I'll le-"

CRACK!

Axem Black's sunglasses broke a little from one side and the ranger looked at it, his anger inside began to build up until he lost his patience. "Axem Red!!!"

"What now?!" Axem Red asked as Snake put a grenade inside his mouth, which exploded after that.

"I broke my shades!" Axem Black complained running to the others, Chris just made a bored look and frowned with a facepalm.

"That's what you get for being cool!" Axem Red complained as he wiped out the soot and charged at Snake again.

"...A-ah..." Chris coughed a little and gasped. "F-finally! I can speak again!"

Axem Yellow appeared in a blink close to him and raised his axe. "Great, now I can hear your screams of agony 'cuz once I lower this baby, I'll get my dinner for tonig-"

GRUUUUMBLEEEE!!!

Axem Yellow blinked in shock as he stared down at his stomach, he lowered his axe to his side and yelled to the roof. "AXEM RED!!!"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT NOW?!" Axem Red yelled annoyed as he managed to land a slash on Snake's left arm.

"I'm hungry!" Axem Yellow complained running with his team.

"Eat your air then!" Axem Red yelled angrily as Chris joined Snake. "Oh, let me guess, you're going to gang up on me, won't you?"

"Afraid so," Snake said cracking his fists. "I'm already sick of this crap anyway."

"Me too." Axem Red said pointing at them. "...That's it, you 2 win! Go and get the Star Spirit, happy?!"

Music stops with a scratch

"...What?" Chris, Kawashima, Snake, Otacon, Mei Ling and Colonel asked confused.

"That's right, you win, my team was screwed because we're just a bunch of weak meddlers, you know what? Get that frickin' star off from our hands and get out of my sight and from our ship!" Axem Red yelled angrily pointing at the star behind the Axem Rangers, who ducked trembling in fear.

"...That was easy..." Chris muttered.

"...Something's fishy around here..." Snake muttered narrowing his eyes.

"...Soooo...should we grab the star and go away?"

"...We don't have another choice, it seems." Snake muttered as both began to walk towards the Star Spirit's card, they almost crossed the ducked rangers and looked up to the star hanging in the tube of the ship's robot.

...However, the Axem Rangers snickered silently.

"I knew it, it's a darn trap!" Snake shouted glancing down at the rangers who quickly lunged and pushed down both of them, stood on their backs (2 rangers on each one) and moved their axes close to their throats, pinning them down to the floor as Axem Red came walking to them, laughing maniacally.

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Axem Red laughed loudly together with his team. "Did you think we were going to give up the star so easily? It was all a trick to get you where we wanted!"

"I..." Chris struggled. "...I was...expecting that..."

"Then how come you didn't do anything before we got in this mess?" Snake asked angrily.

"Sorry..." Chris said trying to look away.

Axem Red raised his axe above Chris. "Screw Tabuu's orders! If I get rid of you right now, he won't mind the slightlest bit about a pathetic excuse for a "hero" like you, you've been a pain in the (beep!)ss for so long, you've been trying to screw Smithy's plans much for our dismay and my blood pressure is going to burst!" Axem Red made a nasty glare as he put a stronger grip on his axe. "SAY YOUR DAMN PRAYERS!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Chris screamed out loud as Axem Red quickly dove his axe right above his throat.

A shocking sound was heard and the scenery got suddenly bright, after a small silence, the Axem Rangers were shocked to see Axem Red struggling to get up, they all started to sweat once they looked at his leader about to faint.

"GET...AWAY...FROM...MY...MASTER!!!" A voice that roared demanded loudly and the Axem Rangers looked back where Chris and Snake came from, in a blink, a fast curled blue ball sent Axem Green to the wall, a punch was delivered to Axem Black who backed away, 2 small bolts that exploded into flames reached Axem Yellow and somebody smashed his head into Axem Pink's face, who squealed in pain and backed away as well.

"...Crap." Snake muttered once he looked up from his spot.

"Did you miss me?" One of the figures asked tapping his right red shoe in annoyance.

"Chris! Chris! A-are you alright?"

The figures revealed to be the Smashers, Ness, Lucas, Pikachu, Pichu, Red, Squirtle, Fox, Wolf, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Popo (still under the coffee's effect), Nana, Geno, Mallow, Twink, Meta Knight and Pit.

And of course, Lucario was also there, his fists burning with aura as he kneeled to see Chris.

"Lucario!" Chris said smiling as he slowly stood up and hugged his Pokémon. "...Thank you Lucario...you saved me..."

"...Ugh..." Lucario closed his eyes ashamed.

"...What's wrong Lucario? It's...something bothering you?"

"Can we beat the crap out of this guy? I've got a thing or 20 to discuss with him." Sonic asked with a glare as Snake stood up and glared down the hedgehog.

"...Hmph," Snake began. "Kind of ironic now, your whole group is now here to punch me to death."

Squirtle made an angry expression. "Oh, you know us really well, how sweet." Squirtle rolled his eyes with sarcasm.

"...Lucario..." Chris began as he grew worried. "...Are you still thinking all the things Snake told you before?"

"Grrr..." Lucario grunted silently towards Snake, who was being stared angrily by almost all the Smashers.

"Lucario! Listen to me now!" Chris demanded as he stood up, Lucario shook his head surprised and gasped. "It's not your fault again that I got sick over a thing I decided to do, it was my decision to begin with, not yours because you understand me, right?"

"...But..." Lucario closed his eyes as Chris sighed.

"...I think we should we better return to the mansion for now..."

"And eat this guy up," Kirby said grumbling a little, some of them had to raise their eyebrows because Kirby wasn't that serious most of the times. "I don't like him at all."

"Neither do I." Snake said as some of them took their weapons, abilities, sparks, or just plain glared at him.

"Guys, stop!" Chris said as he stood up. "Snake saved me from the Axem Rangers, he's not a bad guy!"

"Chris, do I need to remind you that he tried to kidnap you?" Fox asked as Chris blinked confused at him. "...What?"

"Fox, this is kind of unrelated but...are you sick in the eye?" Chris asked tilting his head as Wolf snickered a little, he earned a glare from Fox before the latter looked back at Chris.

"...Just...stay on topic..." Fox said through gritted fangs.

"...Well...I know he tried to kidnap me at first but....he doesn't want to do that anymore."

"...SUUUUUUUURE he doesn't want to." Ness said raising an eyebrow as his fingers glowed with PK energy.

"N-no! It's the truth, he doesn't want to do it anymore! Please, believe me!"

"...He says the truth." Lucario said and they looked at him. "...Believe in him..."

"...Thank you again..." Chris muttered with a small smile.

"...Well, wow, that changed the subject." Red said lowering his Pokeball.

"Why did you were holding the Pokeball if I'm OUT?" Squirtle asked with a frown.

Kirby walked to Chris. "Um...Chris...are you not feeling sick anymore?"

Chris shook his head. "No, that fever is gone now, it wasn't all that dangerous."

"Good," Meta Knight began. "Now let's get out of this place."

Geno looked at the machine with Mallow and Twink. "Wait, we should grab the Star Spirit before we escape."

"Oh, you're right, the Star Spirit is here," Twink said sighing in relief. "Somebody can fly over there and grab it?" Twink noticed that Mallow and Geno were staring at him with bored looks. "...Umm...coming!" Twink said sweating as he went over the Star Spirit.

Pit looked around and noticed that something was missing...or someones. "Wait, where are those axe people?"

Snake looked back where the rangers once were. "Letting guys like them scramble around without us noticing was reckless."

"Since when did WE were on the same team?" Jigglypuff asked pouting a little.

"Shut up, marshmallow."

"Hey!" Jigglypuff and Kirby said annoyed.

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Axem Red appeared on the top of the machine and pushed Twink away using his axe, the other rangers jumped by his side and laughed rather maniacally as well. "Indeed, that was reckless of all of you and let us go away!"

"Dammit, can't you stop regaining energies for once?!" Chris asked annoyed.

"Give the Star Spirit back!" Mallow demanded making a fist as he pouted.

"It's enough with all of you around," Axem Black said looking away to change his shades for new ones. "So, since we're outnumbered, we're going to use the Blade's power along with the Star Spirit's."

"Wait, that's impossible to do." Geno said.

"Nope!" Axem Green said with a chuckle. "The Subspace Army made some changes around here and drain the power out from the spirit and strengthen the power of the Blade!"

"In a few words, you're screwed, and totally this time." Axem Yellow said.

"It's more easy said than done," Wolf said narrowing his eyes. "I want to see yours words true in all those things you just described."

"Like, be patience!" Axem Pink said with a giggle. "The Blade is like getting prepared to unleash it's real power...like more times, gorgeous!" Axem Pink squealed.

"BLADE! FULL POWER!" Axem Red ordered and the whole dome began to shake violently, everyone looked around and then above where the dome began to open, the blizzard began to land in the deck, which was actually the top of the ship, they all watched the head getting inside the ship as all the Axem Rangers jumped inside.

"EVERYOOOONNNNEEEEE!!!" Diddy yelled from above as DK landed, the monkey jumped from his back and ran to Chris. "Thank goodness, we were worried about you!"

"Uh, Diddy, I hate to differ a little, but right now we have something really really bad coming right now." Chris said sweatdropping as Parakarry flew to them.

"...Yeah so...bye!" Parakarry said with a chuckle and he disappeared in the sleet.

"What the-that's all he could say to us?!" Nana asked angrily as she looked to Popo, who stopped trembling. "Good, you're back to your senses."

"Am I what?" Popo asked.

"...Partly I mean." Nana said with a frown as the center of the deck began to open, everyone backstepped away from the abyss opening and from it, the same head from before rose up, however, that wasn't enough, the head now had a huge body of 15 feet, everyone's eyes widened at the height of the machine that almost got dark thanks to its height and for the night, including the snowstorm, on it's chest, there was the Star Spirit, Klevar's card, trapped as red energy came from it.

"...Oh, crap! This looks like probably the huggest rip-off of the Power Rangers so far!" Chris said shocked as everyone looked at him confused. "...Y-you'll see what I mean later!"

The machine was huge, it had purple, white and red colors spreading around its body, it had spikes on his shoulders, fists, legs and knees, missiles were installed on its back, its fingers could fire lots of bullets at high speed and it could also use magic because of the Star Spirit.

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Axem Red yelled inside a control panel of the machine, the machine stared down at them who got into fighting stances. "SEE, THE DAMN TRUE POWER OF THE BLADE AND THE AXEM RANGERS!!!"

"Don't mind him, he lost his cool now." Axem Black called.

"Oh, now I can see my future feast ahead of me!" Axem Yellow said happily.

"With our height, power and magic, you're 150 percent dead now!" Axem Green said laughing maniacally.

"Like, enjoy your last breath, like, for the last time? Heheheh!" Axem Pink said giggling.

"We fight for evil!" Axem Red said swinging his axe and stepped a litte further ahead of the group inside the machine.

"We live for disorder!" Axem Black stated doing 2 sideways swings of his axe, also walking a little bit but being careful with the controls.

"We like what we do!" Axem Green proclaimed lifting his hand in the air without moving.

"We struggle for chaos!" Axem Pink said throwing a kiss with a wink.

"We are..." Axem Yellow trailed off as he spun his axe and slammed it into the floor, thought he almost hits the panel by accident.

"The AXEM RANGERS!!!" The Axem Rangers said doing a group pose inside as they laughed, snickered, giggled, chuckled or some other form to laugh.

"...Do we have a chance to win this?" Twink asked worried to Geno.

"...This could the hardest battle so far...but only a miracle could save us if we were to lose..." Geno trailed off closing his eyes worried.

"Heh," Sonic smirked. "I beat guys like that every day, bring it on!"

Pikachu, Ness, Pichu and Lucas made bored looks. "...Sure." They said sarcastically.

"...Maybe I should use..." Chris trailed off from behind Lucario who was still in doubts, he reached from his pocket for an item...

...The item he got was the Green Shell that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi had given to him.

Chris looked back and forth between the item and the machine and sighed worried. "...Please, help us!" Chris yelled slidding the shell along the snow, the Axem Rangers merely laughed maniacally and decided to make a step forward an-

TO BE CONTINUED...

"Oh, come on!" Pikachu and Jigglypuff yelled annoyed as the screen frozes, the Axem Rangers just about to launch their first attack to the Smashers.

Chapter 104: Thinking of Everyone

The Blade
Deck

Super Mario RPG - Armed Boss

"WE WILL END EVERYTHING FOR YOU TODAY, MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Axem Red laughed maniacally as foam began to exit his mouth, now he really lost his sanity and dignity at this point, the others, however, just frowned at his reaction and got serious.

"DIE!" The Axem Rangers yelled loudly as they stomped on the deck, just above the Green Shell that Chris just threw...

...However, something really unexpected happened the moment they stepped on the shell.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" The Axem Rangers tripped on the shell that went somewhere else, out from the ship as the machine tried to regain its balance, it crumsily leaned to its front and back side, the Smashers quickly backed away from being crushed under the huge feet of the machine as they saw with confused looks the robot that was about to slip out from the edge.

"NO! NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! WE CAN'T LOSE LIKE THIS! IT'S STUPID! IT'S PURE BLASPHEMY! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Axem Red yelled panicking as he tried to move forward, the robot itself sweatdropped scared as he didn't feel floor below and then...

...The robot went down to the nothingness, the Axem Rangers yelling and screaming as the whole robot disappeared in the darkness of the sleet.

Music stops with a scratch

"...Wait, that's it then?" Olimar asked looking around as everyone went to the edge and looked down, not able to see anything until they heard a huge explosion that illuminated the whole place.

"...But I wanted to fight!" Ness said angrily as another explosion came from below.

"...G-good, I was really scared of that robot..." Lucas said sneezing a little as another explosion came from below.

"Tsk, this is great, just great." Sonic said crossing his arms with a frown as another explosion came from below.

"Well...I think that was for the best, I mean, that robot was huge at it could take us all in one hit." Twink said as another explosion came from below.

"Sure, yeah." Sonic said rolling his eyes in annoyance as another explosion came from below.

"...I kind of feel sorry for them." Chris said making a worried look as yet another explosion came.

"Feeling sorry for the enemy? Kid, your brain has some nuts dropped somewhere." Snake said a little irritated as another explosion came from below.

"And to think I was finally going to fight." DK said looking down sadly as he saw another explosion.

"What about me?" Diddy asked as yet another explosion was seen.

"Why worry for such imbeciles like them?" Wolf asked crossing his arms as yet another explosion illuminated the whole place.

"...You're right on that one." Squirtle said crossing arms with several nods as yet another explosion came from below.

"Let's leave that alone and see what can we do now." Pikachu said with a bored look as another explosion came from below.

"...Just how many times it's that robot going to explode?" Fox asked confused as yet another explosion came from below.

"...Maybe because it was really very powerful and the engines inside were really strong as well, and even more with the Star Spirit?" Mallow asked as yet again another explosion came from below.

"Phew," Red sighed in relief as yet again another explosion came from down below. "Man, I thought I was going to get crushed by that humonguos robot."

"...A-anyway," Nana made an angry expression as yet another explosion came from down below. "We need to do something about this ship."

"And get the Star Spirit back as well." Geno said as they all saw another explosion.

"...Do you think they're alright?" Kirby asked glancing down to see another explosion.

"...By this rate they're probably dead." Jigglypuff said sweatdropping as another explosion was heard and seen.

"..." Lucario didn't say anything as he saw another explosion.

Meta Knight turned his back and walked away, not wanting to see the other explosion. "The bridge should be around here, everyone, get off the ship while I activate the self-destruct mechanism."

"You mean the self-destruct button?" Popo asked as they all saw another explosion.

"...Yes." Meta Knight muttered embarrassed as everyone saw yet again another explosion.

"..." Chris just stared at Lucario with a worried look as yet again another explosion came from below.

And that counts 25 explosions so far...oh god...

Smash Mansion
Outside

The Smashers saw the Blade exploding in the air while they were down below, they saw Meta Knight flying down and landed in front of them. "I was able to destroy the ship, and fortunately my wings let me get here as well."

"What a relief... I think." Pikachu said as everyone turned their backs to the huge scraps of metal of the robot, Geno came from behind one and showed them Klevar's card.

"Well, that means we only have one Star Spirit left, and that should be Kalmar," Geno said as he walked to Chris. "Also, this means that you need to form the pact with Misstar and Klevar at once too."

Chris nodded as he looked around. "Yes...but...where are they?"

"The Axem Rangers?" Mallow asked. "They're not around anymore so I guess that was the end for them...what's that?!"

"What?" Olimar asked pointing a 5 figures dropped in the snow, they were the Axem Rangers who seemed to be sobbing silently, they all ran to them and looked down. "Y-you're still alive?"

"...Like...why..." Axem Pink sobbed as she looked up to them, tears strolling down her eyes. "We just...wanted to...be like...of use to...Lord Smithy...ugh..." Axem Pink fainted as she vanished in the snow, possibly because she didn't have energy left enough to live.

"That means...no feast for me...you're all...a bunch of...mean guys..." Axem Yellow sobbed as he vanished as well.

"But you did all this to yourselves, so no harm done to us." Snake said crossing his arms as Axem Green looked up.

"At least...we're not going...to see your ugly...face anymore...and not another face..." Axem Green spoke silently as he fainted and vanished.

Axem Black grunted as he looked up at them. "Let's see...if you can really...defeat Lord Smithy...(BEEP!)" Axem Black flipped off the whole group before his face hit the snow and vanished.

"...(Beep!)hole." Snake muttered with a frown as Twink wanted to ask what were those curses, but Geno blocked his mouth as they all stared at Axem Red, who seemed to be the most damaged of them all.

"...So..." Axem Red glared at them. "Finish me off...I don't have any purpose to live now...my whole team...my ship...my dignity...my pride, everything was crushed by you!" Axem Red said before he hit the snow with his face and began to sob. "...I want to...see you all...suffering...but I can't do that...anymore...how ironic...isn't?... I leave it all...to Lord Smithy and... Lord Tabuu...bunch o-" Axem Red's words couldn't go on anymore as he died and vanished as well.

"...Why do I feel sorry for them even more now?" Chris asked looking down with a worried look.

"It's useless to mourn about them, kid," Wolf said looking to the clouds. "After all, this happened because you threw that shell at them."

"...Now I feel guilty." Chris said sweatdropping.

"..." A moment of silence fell in as the weather somehow got weaker and now normal snow fell quietly and silently, everyone looked around after that.

"The Axem Rangers..." Popo muttered as Nana stared at him.

"What is it Popo?" Nana asked.

"The Axem Rangers...they were just a team of dorks, idiots, imbeciles, greedy people, chaotic, donkeys, scatterbrained fools..."

"...That's right...wow, you're right for once..." Nana said with a smile.

"But even so...they were still just a team of dorks, idiots, imbeciles, greedy people, chaotic, donkeys, scatterbrained foo-"

SMACK!

"Popo, it doesn't make sense when you repeat the SAME thing you said before!" Nana said irritated.

"...Oh yes!" Chris said smiling a little as he picked some snow. "It's snowing! I haven't seen snow for a long time back in my house! Right, Lucario?"

"..." Lucario was still speechless.

"...Lucario..." Chris muttered worried as he dropped the snow back. "...But it's so late to be playing now."

"Anyway," Sonic grinned at Chris. "Glad to have you back with us."

"Sonic!" Chris said surprised, not noticing Sonic the whole time. "So you did join us after all! I'm really glad to see you here since I fainted because of the fever back in the Sand Ruins!"

"...Wait, hold on," Sonic made a serious look. "I didn't join you when we were in the Sand Ruins, I joined after many things happened...which means..." Sonic narrowed his eyes at DK.

"...Why are you staring at me like that?" DK asked as most of them looked away.

After another moment of silence, Pichu came back carrying a familiar shell. "Look! The shell was left unharmed!" Pichu gave back the shell to Chris, who flipped it to see the Green Shell from below.

"...Wait, there's something written in here..." Chris trailed off. "Extremely Durable Green Shell, it will resist even 50 Goombas's weight."

"Oh, then that's a shell for all the life?" Red asked.

"It seems so." Chris said keeping the shell away.

"...I guess that's a mission complete, right?" Pit asked.

"...Well, yes, but that was...disappointing..." Ness said.

"Very disappointing." Geno added.

"And humiliating, but then again, those guys were so out of it this time around." Mallow said sighing.

"...Right now," Fox looked at Snake with a glare. "You need to pay for what you did back in the mansion, infiltrating, attacking, intent of kidnapping and don't forget ALL the lights you broke."

"Who do you think you are? The police?" Jigglypuff asked raising an eyebrow.

"Tsk." Snake looked away.

"Don't worry Snake," Chris said smiling. "I bet nobody will beat you up to a bloody pulp, I can make anyone understand your meanings, they always listen to me after all."

Command Room

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Off-key

"AND TAKE THIS! AND SOME OF THAT! AND THIS FOR THROWING A FREAKING GRENADE TO US! AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?! OH, DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME! I'M HITTING YOU HERE! LET ME STOMP YOU ON! OH, DID THAT HURT?! SORRY!"

Chris had his arms behind his back with a bored look as he, Lucario, Meta Knight, Lucas, Pichu, Mewtwo, Flonne, Master Hand and Crazy Hand all stood next to each other watching the huge cloud of dust in the center of the room, apparently Chris's statement proved to be false and Snake had to suffer lots of punches, kicks, electric attacks, fire attacks, stabs, slashes, and pretty much everything else you could use to harm a soldier like Snake.

And by this moment, Link, Marth (out of the fight as well), Roy, Ike, C. Falcon and Zelda ragained their senses but attacked Snake there after.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Snake yelled and screamed loudly inside the dust.

"Snake, Snake! Do you copy me?!" Otacon asked in panic.

"Snake! Please, hold on a little longer!" Mei Ling pleaded.

"Snake, get up and fight like a darn man!" Colonel said, sounding a little weird.

"Snake!" The trio yelled once again, not receiving any response. "Snake?!" They asked again getting worried as Snake screamed out loud. "SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!"

"SHUT UP!" Chris yelled blocking his ears, having enough of all the complains and yells. "WHY WON'T THEY SHUT UP?!"

"At times like these..." Mewtwo frowned. "...Violence is overused in this place."

"It even makes me feel smarter..." Marth muttered as Lucas and Pichu glared at him. "...Sorry."

"Geez, but that's not an excuse to kill Snake." Master Hand said.

Music stops

"Lucario, please, say something!" Chris said but Lucario was still looking down. "...Please, Lucario, talk to me!..."

"...Ugh..." Lucario closed his eyes.

"...I'm feeling sad right now..." Chris muttered and Lucario looked to him.

"...Just...don't cry..." Lucario said as he looked away.

"(That didn't work...)" Chris thought worried.

"(...Lucario...)" Flonne thought worried.

30 minutes later...

The Smashers were done with the punishment to Snake, the soldier now had both eyes black, blood came out from his nose and mouth, some parts of his suit were ripped off, and Chris could have sworn that a tooth was laying close to Snake...

"...Well..." Snake said as he wiped out the blood. "You're done with the punishment, now, I want some answers, and I demand them now."

"...Ouch, he's able to stand up after all that beating?" Chris asked surprised.

"Ahem."

"S-sorry..." Chris said blushing a little. "...Snake...to be frank, I don't think this is the appropiate moment to be asking."

"Kid, you're skipping the deal we had, I want the answers, everything, now." Snake demanded as he walked to him, but some of the Smashers stepped in his way and glared at him. "...You're being brave because you have your little army against me."

"N-no!" Chris said blinking surprised. "It's just it would be too fair to explain everything else to everyone, and that counts the Smashers that haven't joined us yet!"

"I'm sorry for interrupting," Geno said coughing a little. "But, if it's not much trouble, could you gain Misstar and Klevar's power right now before something else happens?"

"...If that's alright for Snake and leave him think about it again."

Snake looked away. "...Fine, do your business with those stars."

"...Geno, go on now." Chris said and Geno nodded, the puppet held up both cards in each hand and they began to shone brightly, in a few seconds, both cards turned into light that later turned into Misstar and Klevar, both Star Spirits spun around a little and they stopped, looking around their surroundings and the Smashers.

"...Ah," Klevar said smiling a little. "It's good to be back again."

Misstar sighed in relief. "I know, being inside a card it's not my thing."

"Misstar, Klevar," Geno kneeled to them and the stars looked at him. "It's an honor to see you gain."

"Geno?" Both stars asked surprised and Geno nodded. "...So that is the puppet you used a long time ago with Mario..." Misstar said smiling a little as Twink flew to them.

"Honorable Star Spirits!" Twink said smiling happily. "I'm so glad to see you well!"

"Twink, you also got in this trouble?" Klevar asked.

"Uh-huh, at first, we were just Geno and myself, but over time, we got the help of everyone here, including Mallow!" Twink said looking at the Smashers.

"...Oh, now I see." Klevar said with a chuckle as he and Misstar flew around. "...Yes, I do indeed feel power in everyone here, not only power though, wisdom as well."

"You're clever." Zelda remarked as Klevar stopped in front of her.

"Thank you kind lady." Klevar said as he flew back to Geno.

"Now Geno, which of all of them can use our power to fight? If Mario was here, we could give it to him, but we feel another person who can use it as well." Misstar said looking around.

"Indeed, that person was blessed by Eldstar, and if Eldstar's blessing was given to a person, then that person can use our power."

"Um... I'm that person." Chris said raising his hand and both stars flew to him.

"Oh, my, aren't you the World Traveler?" Misstar asked.

"Y-yes, I am, I'm Chris."

"Yes, you're the young man that has been protecting the worlds from the Subspace Army, aren't you?"

"...I guess you know because..." Chris trailed off.

"Because we know everything, even people's wishes." Klevar said.

"...Oh, right! I'm not the only one who's been saving worlds, everyone here did it too!" Chris said looking at the Smashers, then he made a happy expression. "And if I was just alone, I could've been dead...fortunately I've been saved many times because of everyone too."

"Then our blessings are with all of you," Klevar said as he looked at them, then at Chris. "Now, please stand still and let me give you my power."

"And me as well." Misstar said with a giggle, Chris nodded and both stars started spinning around Chris, spores that made stars touched Chris and after a while, they stopped right above him.

"There, now you have our blessings as well." Klevar said smiling a little.

"Please use them at the right moment." Misstar said with a small chuckle.

Chris has learned Time Out!

Call the clocks of time and stops the time of all the enemies, if may fail sometimes

Chris has learned Smooch!

Kisses an ally or the user with a sweet kiss, recovers 75 percent of the target's health

"Thank you." Chris said as both stars nodded.

"Now, before we go," Klevar began. "There's something that has been bothering me...it's about the location of the last Star Spirit, Kalmar."

"Yes, Tabuu has him in his hands now." Geno said but Misstar shook her head. "What?"

"Kalmar has been relocated somewhere already," Misstar explained. "They're maybe protecting him from us as we speak, somewhere, yes, he is around somewhere."

"Can you give us more information?" Mallow asked.

"...I'm afraid that my sources aren't that accurate," Klevar said. "Locating Kalmar is, as a fact, hard, they developed some kind of machine to prevent us from finding Kalmar."

"He could be anywhere in a few words," Misstar said as she made a serious look. "You have to rescue Kalmar as soon as possible, Exor is planning to make something awful to the city it fell on."

"...Like destroying the entire city?" Pichu asked.

"...There's a big chance he is going to do that." Klevar said a little worried.

"No, not Nintendo City..." C. Falcon said.

"But it's just a city, right?" Chris asked and mostly everyone glared at him. "...What?"

"Nintendo City is the best place to hang out!"

"And it's the biggest city of the whole universe!" Falco shouted from his room, somehow he managed to hear everything.

"...How big?" Chris asked.

"It's 500 kilometers long." Master Hand pointed out as Chris looked shocked at this. "Hey, it's a metropolis for something you know!"

"...God." Chris said astonished, for him, the city looked like a plain city, not something that big and long.

"Yes, it's quite shocking," Klevar said before he chuckled. "But, since you've rescued all of us, then looking for Kalmar it's not going to be that much of a problem."

"...Let me guess, you believe in all of us, our power and everything else, right?" Chris asked with a bored look.

Misstar blinked surprised. "My, you took my words off from my mouth, you're all special." Everyone except the Star Spirits frowned at this.

"Geno, Twink, everyone here and the World Traveler," Klevar began as he shone a little with Misstar. "We have to leave to Star Haven, we'll be waiting for Kalmar and when you're ready to confront Smithy."

Misstar began to spin as she slowly floated up. "Call me to heal your wounds, I'll be so glad if you do that!"

"Say hello to Mario and Princess Peach as well, good luck!" Klevar's voice echoed as both stars rose up to the ceiling and disappeared in a blink, leaving a trail of stars behind.

"...Now," Snake began as everyone stared at him. "I want the answers."

"...But..." Chris stammered a little, getting on Snake's nerves.

"Kid, I'm already mad off, answer my questions right this moment before I decide to do something really, really harmful around here."

Everyone glared at him with nasty looks as Chris looked worried to Lucario, but the Aura Pokémon was still depressed. "...Please, I need something to make Snake understand, anything!"

"...Huh?" Master Hand saw the screen flashing a little. "...Samus?" The hand ordered the computer to analyze Samus's world, once it found her world, it focused on her receiving an odd-shaped suit above her armor and everyone looked at the screen.

"Isn't that Samus?" Jigglypuff asked.

"...Samus?" Snake muttered as they all saw Samus ran to the main deck, apparently, she was being instructed of some weird events on a planet called Bryyo, she made a salute to the Aurora Unit 242 before she ran to the hangar and boarder her Gunship, heading to Bryyo in the distance of the space...

"...Why did we watch that?" Ivysaur asked, still hiding below the table.

"To tell the truth," Master Hand looked at them. "I had in mind to recruit Samus, that's why I put a certain schedule on the computer and tell me when she was ready, however, I thought if someone helped her in her matters mid-way, then everything should be faster to make her join us."

"Hold on a second," Snake said as Kirby stared at him. "You're saying that Samus is one of everyone here, correct?"

"...Y-yes, but this is weird, why do you ask?"

"...Kid," Snake began. "I'm joining this."

"WHAT?!" Mostly everyone asked shocked.

NEWCOMER!

Snake joined your team!

"W-wait, why did you decide to join us just now?!" Chris asked as Snake looked away.

"...Because I have my reasons." Snake said simply as he walked away.

"H-hey, where are you going?" Pit asked.

"To my room and get some sleep, also, I need to be prepared for anything." Snake said as he walked away.

"...I wonder why'd he do that...that was fast." Roy said rubbing his chin.

"...U-um..." Kirby began. "I-I saw Snake's nose bleeding a little after he saw Samus...do you know why?"

C. Falcon blinked before he grinned. "Ooooooohhh, I get it! Snake is in love with Samus!"

Chris blinked in shock. "W-what?! Does that mean Snake has an interest in Samus and that's why he joined us?!"

"Snake, you sly little devil, I like your reasons and attitude!" C. Falcon said running away, probably to Snake's room.

"...Girl power for the win." Nana said with narrowed eyes and a proud smile.

Zelda facepalmed. "...You've got to be kidding..."

Link crossed his arms and made a confused face. "Weird, you said something very nostalgic and yet scarring..." Link shrugged.

"Snake! Man, I didn't know you liked Samus!" C. Falcon's voice was heard as they heard the sound of a fist colliding into a chin. "Oww!"

"I know you're a celebrity, but that's not an excuse to become friends with me...and for the girl, shut up." Snake's voice was heard as he walked away, C. Falcon returned rubbing his chin in pain.

"He got strength, I know that...in the painful way," C. Falcon said as Zelda chuckled a little. "Yes, laugh at me, go on."

"Ahem," Master Hand coughed to get their attention. "Firstly, I'd like to say congratulations for making it this far, you've been saving the worlds and rescuing the Star Spirits together to prevent another catastrophe, but, since we have a Star Spirit left to rescue, we should focus also to recruit the last members of the team."

"And those are..." Roy trailed off as Master Hand snapped his fingers, the screen now showed Mario, Luigi, Peach and Samus in different blocks. "Oh yeah, those 4 are the last ones."

"So THAT's the Mario guy!" Sonic said grinning. "He looks a little chubby to me, the olympics aren't going to be that hard after all."

"H-he's isn't fat!" Chris and Yoshi protested.

"SUUUUUUUUUUURE he isn't." Sonic said closing his eyes with a triumphant grin.

"..." Master Hand shook his head. "A-anyway, as I was saying before, these 4 need to be recruited as we try to find the last Star Spirit, so, your main priority is to make them join us, that's an order that I'm expecting to be fulfilled as soon as possible. Also, if we recruit those gu-"

"2 guys and 2 girls." Zelda corrected the hand.

"Right, 2 guys and 2 girls, then...okay, this is really going to get you all very excited." Master Hand said snickerinh rather evily.

"More than the time you made that weird strange man Tingle come to the mansion?" Link asked making a disgusted face as he shuddered.

"...Don't tell me he touched your butt too!" Toon Link asked appearing from the hallway.

"Nope, he slapped it with a frickin' giggle!"

"Toon Link, why are you here? Where's Raven?" Ness asked.

"It's LINK! And Raven is still dreaming under my bed." Toon Link said.

"...You let Tingle come here?" Chris asked confused.

"O-okay, maybe bringing the old man with the gender problem was a bad idea...but! This is even better!" Master Hand said raising a finger.

"Even better than the time you let Celebi use his time powers and make us all grow old?" Pikachu asked.

"Hey, at least that taught you to respect your elders."

"Even better than the time you let everyone here speak a foreign language like Marth and Roy do?" Zelda asked.

"Now I remember why saying "-kun" at the end of Mario was wrong..." Link said looking away embarrassed as Chris chuckled uncontrollably at this.

For those who don't know, in Japan, if you say someone's name with "-kun" at the end, you're addressing that person as a term of familiarity, however, it's mostly said towards men than women if a woman spoke to a man, a man that says that to another man is just so wrong in so many levels...so you may know why that sounds wrong.

"...W-well, you don't have to remind everyone about the events of the pas-" Master Hand was interrupted.

"Even better than the time you let King K. Rool be a Smasher, and he actually brought all the Kremlins inside the mansion and started a party with a riot?" DK asked.

"H-he came by his own! I swea-"

"Even better than the time you let Legendary Pokémon wander around the mansion, just to seek us out for capturing them?" Pichu asked.

"T-they were just mad off that awful Wenesda-"

"Even better than the time you changed everyone's gender?" Yoshi asked as everyone shrugged.

"...Eww, you're really sick." Chris said making an ashamed face as he backed away from the hand.

"...Fine, is there someone else who has a complain?" Master Hand asked. "...Okay, now, on with th-"

"Even better than the time you made us all climb the Icicle Mountain to find the pressumed summit and we ended up jumping and jumping and jumping and jumping and over and over and over and over and again and again and again and again?" Popo asked.

"Oh! Now there's a clue for what I want to show you all!" Master Hand said nodding.

"...OH NO, you're not going to let us climb THAT thing again, are you?!" Nana asked making an angry look. "I know, Popo and myself are the Ice Climbers, but that's going farther away than the "extreme" word!"

"Okay okay, here's the thing," Master Hand began raising a finger. "What's the place where you always fought?"

"The stages, duh." Pikachu said.

"So, what's the thing that you haven't seen yet here?"

"...The stages to fight between us?" Ness asked.

"Now you know where I'm getting at?"

Everyone looked at each other before the Smashers that were on the previous tournament began to cheer loudly.

"Once we recruit these guys, all the stages are going to be ready to fight at! We'll also make a huge tour around the stages and let you know better the installments! There will be no exception whatsoever!"

"Yes! I wonder what our stage will be." Link wondered to Zelda.

"Probably from the new Hyrule." Zelda said.

"Wait, stage? What's that?" Toon Link asked and Zelda explained everything to him.

"Oh! Oh! Do I get my own stage as well?" Kirby asked.

Master Hand remembered something extremely vital regarding Kirby and Meta Knight's stage...the Halberd that was gone. "...Um...sure?" Master Hand responded sweating as Meta Knight stared at him with his menacing yellow eyes.

"Yes!" Kirby said.

"What about me?" Ness asked.

"You and Lucas will have your new stage," Master Hand said calming down. "To be exact, it's huge, that's all I can say...oh, and Lucas will probably remember that place."

"W-what place?" Lucas asked.

"You'll see." Master Hand said.

"Hey, what about us?" Roy asked pointing at him and Marth. "We don't want to share the music in Zelda's stage again."

"Oh ho ho ho, don't worry, you 2 along with Ike have their stage ready."

"I think it's a castle, I have that feeling." Marth said as Master Hand sweatdropped.

Yoshi walked to him playing with his fingers. "Do I...still get my own stage?"

"Yup." Master Hand said.

"...Sweet." Yoshi muttered.

"...Wait..." DK began.

"You and Diddy have a new stage as we-" Master Hand was interrupted.

"No! That was not what I meant!"

"...Huh?"

"I mean, there's someone missing besides Mario, Luigi, Peach and Semus!"

"DK, I think it's Samus." Diddy corrected him.

"Samus I mean!"

"If you mean Ganondorf and Bowser, then no, I have the feeling that Bowser will join the army as well." Master Hand said.

"I was talking about Mr. G&W!"

Everyone suddenly stopped talking between themselves as they noticed that Mr. G&W hasn't been seen around, nor they wondered where the weird flat black (not being racist by the way) guy was.

"Didn't we meet him on the Halberd in C. Falcon's world?" Ness asked remembering.

"Yes, he said fools to us." Marth said.

"Then he turned into Shadow Bugs..." Lucas trailed off.

"Then C. Falcon fought that guy that Toon Link totally embarrassed with the dance." Popo said laughing, some of them chuckled at the picture in their minds.

"Speaking of him, where does he live?" Link asked.

"In the flat world...who knows where's that world." C. Falcon said.

"Is that even a world? When we fight in that stage...well...it feels extremely weird." Roy said.

"Well...how can I say this..." Master Hand began, he didn't want to tell everyone about Mr. G&W's whereabouts, of course, Chris knew where the flat character was, but thought that the Smashers would turn against him. "...Mr. G&W disappeared, just like that, after he left the mansion, I've heard some sources, that I don't want to talk about, that he disappeared after he left, I even came to the conclussion that he got missing or kidnapped."

"...Poor guy." Jigglypuff said looking down.

"Then does that mean the Subspace Army kidnapped Mr. G&W after he left?" Fox asked.

"Wait a minute," Master Hand thought for a moment. "Then that means, if Mr. G&W was kidnapped after he left, then the Subspace Army has been around ever since the second tournament ended!"

"Tabuu has been living ever since we left the second tournament?" Pikachu asked.

"It's all clear now, Tabuu has been planning to kidnap Mr. G&W from the beginning!"

"But," Chris began as he thought. "That's weird now that you mention it, we don't know exactly how Tabuu came to live either or when, but..."

"You think there's some sort of Tabuu's meaning to live, am I right?" Mewtwo asked looking at Chris.

"Yes... (Wow, I feel like I'm a detective that wants to resolve a murder case!)" Chris thought happily. "...Well, the Subspace Army was created because of Tabuu, right? So, what if Tabuu existed when Mr. G&W came to the mansion?"

"Has Mr. G&W ever lived before the tournament to begin with?" Marth asked.

"No, I brought Mr. G&W personally from his flat world," Master Hand said. "I thought bringing in a bizarre character like him would be good for propaganda, you know, to convince people and make the tourney even better."

"And at the end," Meta Knight began. "He was kidnapped in order to..."

"That's the answer we want to find." Yoshi said.

"He was kidnapped because he has the Shadow Bugs in him," Mewtwo said as everyone looked shocked at him. "Master Hand hid the fact that Mr. G&W contained the Shadow Bugs, the source of Tabuu's army."

"I...well..." Master Hand sweated a little as mostly everyone glared at him.

"Mr. G&W can make as many Shadow Bugs as he wants, in short terms, he is an endless supply of Shadow Bugs that will never seize to stop."

"So, that guy can spam Shadow Bugs as much as Tabuu tells him to make?" Ness asked.

"...I don't know that much, sorry, that's all I had to hide." Master Hand said.

"Yes, you're saying the truth." Ness said as the hand noticed he was glowing.

"Mr. G&W is a...traitor then?" Pichu asked.

"Looks like it...maybe he searched for Tabuu and made a deal." Roy said.

Chris shook his head. "W-wait a minute! We're jumping to conclussions so fast, we need to know first the details even closer!"

"But if Mr. G&W had the power to make Shadow Bugs..." Zelda trailed off thinking. "Why he didn't use them before?"

"...Maybe we can find more clues as we fight the army?" Pit asked, trying to understand the events of the past (as Squirtle, Ivysaur, Wolf, Ike, Toon Link, Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, Olimar, Sonic, Geno, Mallow, Flonne and Twink).

"That should be the most reliable source... I-I think that's it." Lucas said.

"Good!" Master Hand said. "Maybe if you all try to decipher the true meaning of Tabuu's origins, then you should unravel the mystery of the Subspace!"

Chris sighed in relief. "You know, it feels tiring, but yet so intriguing and exciting to find out the truth!"

"What if we work through our fights and find the meaning?" Zelda suggested.

"That sounds really entertaining." Pichu said as he wagged his tail a little.

"Hmph," Mewtwo closed his eyes as he grinned a bit. "Solving a mystery is, indeed, interesting to say at least."

Sonic yawned. "Whatever, anything that floats your boat is fine with me."

"The mystery isn't all that exciting for you, is it?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Meh, I'd rather chase down a criminal."

[DededeCloneChris]

"This, is going to be an important duty to achieve now that I think about it," Master Hand began. "If we know all the origins of the Subspace and Tabuu, we may find out even more secrets as well."

"Hey, hey! How 'bout if we put this as another sidequest?" Crazy Hand asked.

"Hmm... Good thinking..." Master Hand said snapping his fingers, Chris noticed a small glow in his pocket and took out the DS, it now showed a new sidequest.

Seekers of the Truth of the Subspace

The Subspace even Tabuu himself hold many hidden meanings and secrets that must be discovered in order to understand their origins, try to decipher the mystery, solve the mystery and even fight the mystery! Only by thinking, you can get very far! This sidequest requires the help of all the Smashers in order to get all the clues together.

"I'll give something really good if you manage to find the origins and unravel the mysteries." Master Hand said.

"...Um..." Chris went to the hand and he whispered. "Did you even think about doing this before?"

"To be honest, no," Master Hand said. "All happened all of a sudden and well, there was no time to rest during th-"

"It's bad to whisper in front of the people." Ike called out and both chuckled nervously.

"Wait a minute," Chris looked at Sonic. "Wasn't there a sidequest about Sonic?"

"A "sidequest" about me?" Sonic asked confused.

"Oh, you're right, and since you managed to save Sonic that time, first, here's the money you adquired." Master Hand gave 2500 Smash Coins to Chris in a bag.

"Oh yes, now I'm feeling rich again like I do in my world." Chris said as he kept the coins.

"And, since you completed your first sidequest, you get a reward!" Master Hand said snapping his fingers as a small bow with the SSBB's emblem apeared floating between them. "Open the box, your reward will be activated once you open it."

Chris took the box and opened it. "...There's nothing inside!"

His statement proved to be false once a light came out and went floating around, until it spread to various directions and touched everyone's bodies until they stopped glowing.

"...You really like to show-off with the lights, don't you?" Nana asked.

"Nope," Master Hand said. "Anyway, you all got a new skill, the "Combinated Final Smash Lvl. 1's Accelerator."

Combinated Final Smash Lvl. 1's Accelerator

No matter the situation, now you can use the CFS even sooner than before, you don't need pressure anymore to activate the attack, also, increases the odds to find more combinated attacks with the correct jobs and characters

"Oh, so now we can use our combinated attacks more often?" Ness asked and Master Hand nodded. "...Chriiiiiis, we need to find our CFS sooooooon!"

"Hey, I want to find mine as well." Pikachu said.

"What about us?" Squirtle asked pointing at him, Ivysaur and Red.

"And me too!" Kirby said raising his hand.

"I may as well agree." Zelda said.

"Me too." Link said.

"I-er, me too!" Toon Link said nodding.

"Before anyone else speaks, I'll be more focused in getting all of them, but don't pressure me!" Chris said frowning.

"...Get mine, and fast." Wolf said pointing at Chris.

"...Oh, brother..."

"Good thing we don't have to ask for that, right?" Mallow whispered to Geno.

"Okay," Crazy Hand began. "I'll be really really really really really pleased if you Chris buy something from me today! I've been wanting to see what's going to happen once you buy the knight job!"

"Why is that?" Chris asked.

"Oh, you'll see... It's a surprise..." Crazy Hand snickered rather evily as Chris sweatdropped and approached his counter.

Jobs (New!) - Stickers - Smashing Abilities - Items

"You have new jobs again? When are they going to stop from appearing?" Chris asked.

"Once you have all the compatible jobs for everyone else." Crazy Hand said.

Smash Coins in hand: 3500

Jobs

Moogle Knight - 1400 Smash Coins

Agent - 1100 Smash Coins

Juggler - 1300 Smash Coins

The circus's came to town! But it left a juggler! This job lets you fight with small daggers as the Thief job, but in a more enthusiastic and happy mood, use balls to confuse your foes, berserk your allies to increase their powers or juggle your way to victory!

Beastmaster - 1000 Smash Coins

A simple job that lets you talk with the monsters and animals, with a hit of your whip or instrument as you like, the monster or animal will obey your orders until you lose your focus by a hit or if you decide to let it go

"...Why it's the description of the last job...not so...you?" Chris asked.

Crazy Hand yawned. "Aw, I made that out of the blue, I was running of ideas so why not put this worthless job in the shop?"

"You were going to sell me a worthless job?" Chris asked with a glare.

"AHEM! More money, more jobs! Get buying!"

"...Fine, I'll buy the Moogle Knight job, change my clothes!" Chris demanded handing over 1400 Smash Coins, and he instantly glowed and looked up to Crazy Hand once he stopped. "Now, how do I look this time?"

"Snrk..." Chris noticed that some of the Smashers were snickering or chuckling, he tilted his head in confusion and crossed his arms.

"...What's so funny?" Chris asked looking above to find a weird red pompom. "And what is that pompom doing over my head?"

Lucario decided to look at his trainer and his jaw dropped a little. "...Chris? Is that you?"

"Duh."

"...You...turned into...a Moogle..."

"..." Chris blinked normally as we see his appearance, now he was wearing a pale purple shirt with shoulder pads, black pants, a small light-blue sword on his right hand and small boots...

...Thought when he found out that he turned into a Moogle, now he had white fur all over him below his clothes (aside from the small part of black hair on top of his head), his eyes changed as well, he had also a small height (technically now everyone in the room surpassed his height, well, at least Pichu didn't since he was his height), he had a red pompom that was literally hanging from a string that connected it to his head, where the hair was, there were 2 small red wings on his back and 2 long white ears (the black hair was between) that reached his pompom...

"...KUPO!" Chris yelled blinking shocked as mostly everyone began to laugh loudly at him. "What the hell did you do to me?! I'm a freaking Moogle, kupo!... Dammit! I can't stop saying "kupo" either, kupo!"

"But now you're the cutest furried character ever!" Crazy Hand said as Chris began to pout a little.

"Oh, you tell me! I'm going to be like this if I use this job, kupo?!" Chris asked angrily as Crazy Hand nodded with some chuckles. "You did this to me because you thought it was going to be funny?! Because I'm not laughing, kupo!"

"Aw, you're so cute..." Flonne said ducking to hug Chris close to her.

"S-stop it!" Chris struggled from Flonne's arms and he got out by pushing her face away. "My god, how can I fight with this short height anyway, kupo?!"

"Use your sword, duh." Toon Link said chuckling as Chris flew to him and crossed his arms.

"Oh, you're acting so tough just because I'm way smaller, am I right, kupo?!" Chris asked angrily as he looked back to his wings. "...Although... Look! I can fly anywhere with these wings, they don't tire out either, kupo!"

"So, this is how you obtain your powers?" Sonic asked as Chris flew to them.

"Yes, it's the only way, kupo." Chris said as Sonic grinned with some chuckles. "...I was SO waiting for you to laugh at me as well...kupo."

"Want more jobs?" Crazy Hand asked as Chris flew to him and shook his head several times.

"Forget it, I'm not buying those jobs after you put me through this humiliation! Kupo!" Chris said angrily as more laughs came from behind him, now they were getting on his nerves. "Laugh even more and I'll call the Moogle Brigade! Kupo!"

"Please, no more!" Popo pleaded rolling as he laughed loudly.

"...What the hell is the Moogle Brigade?! Kupo?!"

"CoughyourFinalSmashcough." Master Hand coughed as Chris looked annoyed.

"I want to buy a Smash Ball, please, kupo!" Chris proclaimed as everyone stopped laughing and got shocked looks with some gasps. "...What?"

Master Hand took out mentioned item as mostly everyone stared at it in awe. "Behold, the Smash Ball," Master Hand began as a spotlight shone above the floating glowing orb of power. "This item holds the ability to use your Final Smash."

"We just take it, right?" Roy asked, somehow, Master Hand didn't notice that many were preparing to do something with the ball.

"No," Master Hand chuckled. "You have to break it apart and the one who breaks the ball, will get its power, so, if you see this baby going around, I suggest you to BREAK IT!" Master Hand ducked in fear as many projectiles wanted to break the ball, though Chris looked fairly shocked at this moment that he hid behind the counter with Crazy Hand by flying over there quickly. "STOP IT, YOU BUNCH OF LUNATICS FOR POWER!" Master Hand yelled releasing the ball by accident.

"Oh...my...goodness...kupo..." Since you know who said that, we're not going to bother.

The ball flew around the room and mostly everyone (except Lucario, Meta Knight, Lucas, Mewtwo, Flonne and the hands with Chris) tried to break it by doing all sorts of attacks, it was like a corral with angered bulls trying to get the last meat first, chaos flew everywhere as Chris lifted his head up from the desk and stared angrily at Master Hand.

"You just HAD to show them that, hadn't you?! Kupo?!"

"I forgot they're all people who are hungry for power, my bad!" Master Hand yelled.

"Oh, dangit! They're all power hungry fools then, kupo?!"

Power Hungry Fool

"I WASN'T TRYING TO CHOOSE THE MUSIC, KUPO!" Chris yelled angrily as the music stopped with a scratch.

"Ha!" Everyone stopped fighting over the ball as they saw Sonic glowing with an evily smirk. "Yes... I FEEL THE POWER RUNNING THROUGH ME!"

"Oh, (beep!)t! He's not going to turn into THAT here, is he, kupo?!"

"HaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Sonic yelled extremely loud but, oddly, stopped glowing as the sound of someone farting was heard, everyone looked confused at this by now. "...What? W-what happened?! The power! Is gone!"

"YOU STUPID POWER HUNGRY FOOL, IMBECILEEEEEEEEE!!! KUPO!" Chris yelled angrily, flying towards to the hedgehog with a mad off look, smacking Sonic hard in the face with his sword and the hedgehog went rolling all the way to the wall where he crashed on his back.

Sonic just ignored the pain as he blinked confused. "B-but, why? I thought I was going to something really devastive a moment ago..."

"Wait, Sonic uses the Chaos Emerals to turn into Super Sonic, but, nothing happened? Why is that?" Master Hand muttered. "Er, Sonic, may I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you by any chance holding the Chaos Emeralds?"

Sonic took from his back each emerald that were oddly very pale and threw all of them on the floor, everyone stared at the pale emeralds as some of them inspected them closer. "You mean these? Yeah, I have them with me, but they just recently lost their power, why do you ask anyway?"

"...Weird..." Master Hand muttered looking away.

"Ah," C. Falcon looked the pale Green Chaos Emerald. "This is some source of power?"

"Yep," Sonic said getting up (as Chris made a bored look because the hedgehog was still ignoring the pain). "If I use them, I'll turn into Super Sonic, the most extreme transformation of all the times! My strength, my speed and my power go up really high, not only that, I can fly around at extreme speeds too!"

"Isn't power and strength the same thing?" Lucas asked.

"...Oh...right..." Fox said throwing the pale Yellow Chaos Emerald to Sonic who caught it. "You mean the transformation that was going to kill us in that colony?"

Sonic chuckled nervously as he shifted his eyes. "I-ah, I-I was possessed that time, did you forget?"

"It was Tabuu's fault, so you have to let Sonic go in that one." Master Hand said as onic sighed in relief. "But, what I'm wondering now is, what happened to the emeralds?"

Sonic shrugged. "Beats me, all I can think is that probably Eggman had something to do with it...and think about it, I've been really weird ever since he used that machine on me, during the nights, I have thoughts of killing people, but also, I have the sensation to turn into something as well..." Sonic noticed that everyone was staring at him, some of them with shocked looks by the "killing people" part.

"...K-k-k-k-killing people, kupo?" Chris repeated studdering.

"...Wait, no! I don't want to kill anyone here!" Sonic said moving his hands around in some panic. "That's not me! You all know me very well, right?"

"A super egocentrical hedgehog that thinks about himself most of the times that also wants to show-off whenever he wants." Ness pointed out as Sonic made a bored look.

"Sheesh, you didn't have to say it that way."

Mewtwo was examining the pale purple emerald as his eyes glowed. "...It appears the emeralds were drained of their powers."

"Drained? Like taken away?"

"You could say that too," Mewtwo said as he lowered down the emerald. "There is no energy coming from them anymore, what's more, somebody took them as well."

"...Eggman, that bastard, he did it!" Sonic said with a serious look as he made a fist. "I bet he did something else with the emeralds with that machine!"

"Sonic, calm down, kupo," Chris began. "I'm trying to get a hold of myself this time, but, thinking about that dorky doctor isn't good right now, kupo."

"Ugh..."

"...I..." Ike began and everyone looked at him. "I-I'm sorry, but I don't understand anything so far, I'm clueless by now."

"There are so many things to keep track on, it's giving me a headache." Red said putting his right hand on his forehead.

"Sidequest time!" Crazy Hand said snapping his fingers as Chris's DS glowed again, now it had another sidequest...

Emeralds of no Chaos

The Chaos Emeralds have no longer their unbelievable power, but why is that? Maybe you should drop off to Sonic's world again when you have the time...

"Crazy, I didn't plan to make a sidequest out of that!" Master Hand whispered angrily as he groaned a little. "Whatever, too many sidequests already, anyway! Chris, I want you to do some of them by tomorrow morning."

"W-wait, but what if the Subspace Army attacks again, kupo?"

"They won't, because I have planned to give you all a day-off again."

"You mean by sacrificing some of your magic again like you did last time, kupo?" Chris asked as Master Hand went closer to him.

"Look, I also want you to spend the time with some of the Smashers that haven't reached the full partnership level yet, like Meta Knight or Wolf for example, I also think you could raise DK, Ike, Snake and a few others as well if you try." Master Hand whispered.

"...Are you kidding me, kupo? Spending time with Meta Knight is like resting with a serious person that will pull out a dagger and stab it in my throat, and with Wolf..." Chris shuddered as he looked to Wolf, and gave him a glare. "...I-I'd rather not think about what will that guy do to me if I turn my back...ever, kupo."

"Um, you're whispering in front of us again." Ike pointed out.

Master Hand ignored the barbarian and went on. "Also, it's snowing out there! I think it will continue to snow tomorrow, so go out and have fun, why won't you?"

"Hmm... I DO want to play out there... Kupo." Chris wondered rubbing his chin.

"Aw, man, then it's going to take more time to let me go to a world?" DK asked.

"Well, I want to know the mansion even more." Diddy said as he looked around.

"I'd like to do that as well if you don't mind." Ike said.

"I'll check this place out tomorrow!" Sonic said as he let out a long yawn. "And I'm very tired now...do you have a room for me?"

"Oh, right, Marth, if you would, could you please escort them to their rooms?" Master Hand asked.

"W-why me?" Marth asked raising an eyebrow.

"I think you're one of the most clever persons of the mansion that knows the place very well, so why not?"

Marth rolled his eyes, because he knew the mansion very well, we may add. "Alright, follow me you 4..." Marth said walking away with Sonic, DK, Diddy and Ike.

"H-hey! I'm want to see Ike's room!" Roy said running away.

"...You know you want to." Zelda said staring at Link who ran away as well.

"Oh candies in a leaf, look at the hour," Olimar said staring at his watch, where did he get it? Who knows. "It's really late and I should've been sleeping 2 hours ago, sorry and beg my pardons, but I need to sleep, good night." Olimar said with a bow as he walked away.

"...Candies in a leaf?" Ivysaur repeated confused with Twink.

"Of course, it's too late to be awake, you should all get some rest and enjoy the next day tomorrow, meanwhile, I'll rest once I finish with the magic, Crazy, hand magic time!" Master Hand said as he and his brother (who made a thumbs-up) disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Toon Link yawned and mumbled a little. "I can't see what is in front of me anymore...nah, I'll get my sleep, g'nite..." Toon Link said grogily as he walked away.

"Wait a minute," Jigglypuff began. "Isn't kind of risky to leave Snake alone?"

"Now that I see it, Snake could be still dangerous if someone doesn't watch his moves." Zelda said.

"And he could kidnap Chris in front of ourselves." Pit said.

"Then someone needs to keep tabs on him just in case?" Red asked.

"I rest close to his room," C. Falcon said. "Leave the guy to me, I'm also trying to be pals with him so it's going to be really interesting to know him more, and also, good night!" C. Falcon said before he walked away.

"...Now I'm really, REALLY worried." Nana said with a shocked look.

"Who cares?" Ness said. "He can't escape from here, after all, who of the adults besides him is a rabbid Samus's fan?" Ness asked with a wink.

Chris stared at Fox and Wolf. "...T-that was just because I got surprised!" Fox said with an annoyed look.

"And what about you, kupo?" Chris asked to Wolf.

"Tsk, I could say the same thing... Later." Wolf said walking away.

"Let's call this a night and rest," Lucas said. "I just want to sleep right now."

"Lucas, you surprised me, you didn't studder as you normally do." Pikachu said.

Lucas blushed and played with his fingers. "I-it's because it's snowing outside and if it continues, I'm going to play outside."

"Oh, yes!" Ness said snapping his fingers. "It's snowing, we forgot about that! We could play Extreme Snowball Fight!"

Pikachu made a tough look. "Haha, did you forget who was the winner last time?"

Ness cracked his fingers. "You, sir, are demanding a rematch."

"Bring it on," Pikachu said gathering sparks. "My electrocuted snowballs will make my path to victory!"

Chris shifted his eyes between them. "...Gosh, you're that violent, kupo?"

"Heck yes." Ness and Pikachu said nodding with grins as Chris sweatdropped before both walked away.

"Popo and I are the best throwers of snowballs...wait a minute, Popo!" Nana called his brother.

"Oh right! It's snowing, so we should make an igloo and rest inside!" Popo said taking out his hammer.

"Yep, now that's the brother I have...and love? Let's go!" Nana said taking her hammer and both ran away outside and made an igloo.

"And they're they go again," Zelda said with a sigh. "Those 2 can't stop loving ice and snow, can they?"

"What, they do that often, kupo?" Chris asked.

"Yes, they never stop when it snows... And it's getting late, so I should rest as well, good night." Zelda said with a polite bow as she walked away.

"So, I'm resting, good night!" Lucas said enthusiastically as he ran away.

"I better look for my scarf and be ready for the Extreme Snowball Fight." Pichu muttered as he walked away as well.

"What are you going to do, Mewtwo, kupo?" Chris asked.

"I'll take advantage of tomorrow and meditate for the time being... Chris." Mewtwo looked at Chris.

"Yes, kupo?"

"Maybe we could control your psychic powers as well, I may be able to take them under your control if you want."

"I-I'll think about it, kupo." Chris said with a nod and Mewtwo merely nodded before he teleported away.

"Can you sleep with me, can you, can you, can you?!" Flonne asked hugging Chris.

"N-NO! HELL NO!" Chris yelled pushing Flonne away.

"Aww... Oh well, maybe I'll have my chance tomorrow," Flonne said with a smile as Chris backed away from her. "I'll better rest for now so-AAAAAAHHHHH!!! OWW!" Flonne accidentaly tripped towards a computer and she fell on the floor, however, her fingers managed to type something and, oddly enough, the computer began to search and it found a result.

"F-Flonne! Are you alright?" Pit asked as he helped her to get up.

"Y-yeah...wait..." Flonne looked at the computer and she readed the information on it. "...The Netherworld...location of King Krichevskoy's son...OH MY! THERE HE IS!"

"What is there?" Jigglypuff asked walking to her.

"T-there he is! It's where Laharl's sleeping!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Etna's voice was heard from the 8th floor and she amazingly ran all the way down, rivaling Sonic's speed in some cases, in a blink she came followed by a long cloud of dust, pushed Flonne away and looked the computer. "Yes! Yes! Finally, I found Laharl! After all this time, I can go for him and get his throne back!"

"H-hey!" Flonne stood up flailing her arms. "I have to assassinate Laharl, remember?! The angels of Celestia will be mad at me if I don't accomplish my mission!"

"Nah-ah, you will not do such a thing!" Etna said closing her eyes with a grin. "Laharl needs to reclaim his throne back from Vyers that took it when his father died, I don't know exactly where did this Vyers guy came from, but if Laharl shows up in his castle, then the throne will be reclaimed, I'll get my salary for the Prin-I mean, I'll get my job as vassal back and everything will be as it should have been before!"

Flonne pouted a little. "B-but I have to kill him!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"Nah-ah!"

"Yes-uh!"

"STOP IT, KUPO!"

"Who's the new guy?" Etna asked as Chris got annoyed.

"Oh, screw it! I'll change jobs, kupo!" Chris yelled changing to his Chozo Arts job, in doing so, he recovered his normal appearance (much for Flonne's dismay). "That's where Laharl is then?"

"Yup, and we're going tomorrow morning!" Etna said putting her hands on her hips with a proud smile.

"...Hate to say this, but no one can leave the mansion tomorrow, Master Hand will close the paths to all the worlds, so practically you're stuck in there until the next day after tomorrow... I think." Yoshi explained.

"...Oh, great," Etna closed her arms and looked away. "To good to be true...darn...oh well, better spend the last day with all of you, huh?"

"I think so."

"...Fine, g'nite," Etna said as she extended her arms and yawned as she walked away. "By the way, I have a friend who's staying here, so not telling the hand about her!"

"What?" Chris asked as he shook his head. "I think I need to rest now...wait a minute, Master Hand! Where's my money for defeating the Axem Rangers?!"

"Here." Meta Knight said giving Chris a bag of coins.

"W-wow, thank you." Chris said looking inside the bag.

"I found it laying close to the self-destruct butto-I mean, the mechanism to blow up the ship, so I thought you wanted it."

"..." Chris shaked the bag upside-down and a coin fell down on his right hand.

"...Just one single coin?" Flonne asked staring at the coin.

You have gained 1 Smash Coin!

"...That's it?!" Chris asked making a fist as he kept the coin with him. "Why did I receive just a coin?!"

"Perhaps because of the excessive amount of us that wanted to fight those lunatics?" Meta Knight asked.

"T-they were going to kill us with one stomp with that huge machine! And all I get it's a stinking coin for that?"

"Hey, they happened to trip because of the shell." Squirtle said.

"B-but that could have counted as an attack, right?... Aw, forget it, I'm so tired to be complaining..."

"Even so, it's good to be saving little by little." Fox said.

"...Fox, don't make me punch you in your sick eye."

Fox made an angry expression and crossed his arms. "Fine, I'll be sleeping now, so good night." Fox said as he walked away.

"Drink some medicine for your eye before though!" Ivysaur yelled cracking up with Squirtle as Fox grunted angrily in the hallway.

"For the last time, it's NOT sick!"

"Oh man, that was a good one, good one there..." Squirtle said embracing himself to stop laughing.

Chris noticed that Kirby walked to him. "What is it Kirby?"

"Um, I was wondering if you could take me to a world next time..." Kirby said.

"Aw, of course, I can't resist to see you look down like that," Chris said as Kirby jumped to him and gave him a hug. "Oh, thank you!"

"You're absolutely welcome!" Kirby said jumping back and walked towards his room.

"...Hmm..." Lucario just kept looking at Chris after Kirby hugged him.

"Squirtle, Ivysaur, we need to rest for now." Red said walking towards the hallway.

"Coming!" Squirtle said walking away as both noticed that Ivysaur refused to walk with them. "Hey, come on, we have to rest."

"Nope, snow bad for me, very bad." Ivysaur said hiding further inside the table.

"...Oh man..." Red frowned as he put Ivysaur inside his Pokeball. "Now, are you better inside?"

Squirtle chuckled. "Weirdo, you talk to things."

"I-I'm not a weirdo!" Red argued as both walked away to their room.

"I shall enjoy my last day tomorrow, good night." Flonne said with a bow as she walked away, humming happily.

"Chris, can I ask you something?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Um, sure." Chris said.

"I was wondering if you could, you know, we could perform tomorrow again with another different song than the last time, you know? Everyone here enjoyed the last play so much, and it could be good to do that again, do you agree to do it again? Pretty please?"

"O-of course! I had so much fun last time, let's do that tomorrow again!"

"Sweet, thank you and good night!" Jigglypuff said happily as she walked away, humming happily.

"...I we go to the demon's world... Palutena will get angry at me...wait, did you hear that? D-don't mind me please, good night." Pit said walking away.

"Aw, with all this snow, it's going to be hard to train for the Olympics...wonder when are they going to be announced... I have this hunch that it will be very soon..." Yoshi wondered as he walked away.

"Rude, he didn't say good night." Twink said.

"Anyway, since it's almost time to fight Smithy, we should think harder about the whereabouts of Kalmar." Geno said.

Mallow groaned a little. "Geno, why don't we try to enjoy tomorrow as well? You need to relax and have fun, yep, that's what you need urgently." Mallow grabbed Geno's right hand.

"W-where are you taking me?" Geno asked as Twink followed them.

"Duh, get some sleep and try to relax tomorrow, everyone is going to do something fun to do, and we need to get sleeping as well, good night!"

"G-good night! Mallow, stop dragging me! Mallow!" Geno said from the hallway as both went away, with Twink laughing at Mallow's ignorance all the way.

"..." Chris stared at Meta Knight.

"...Good night." Meta Knight said simply as he walked away.

"...Oh, look!" Chris looked at Lucario. "It's just the 2 of us here now, just like you like it, right?"

"...Ugh..." Lucario looked down, still ashamed.

"Lucario..." Chris trailed off as he tried to do something for Lucario. "Oh, I know! We can eat dinner tonight if you want."

"Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to eat something..." Lucario said as Chris grabbed his right hand.

"Are you sure? I have something to eat that both of like to eat together, you know where I'm getting at?"

"...Wait, but I thought that was in our house."

"Nope, I asked Master Hand to bring some food here, and also he brought the instant soup!"

Lucario blinked for a moment before his stomach began to grumble, making him blush a little. "...Fine..."

"Then it's true the way to get someone's attention was through the stomach!" Chris said with a small laugh as both walked away.

"I thought it was to get to the heart." Lucairo pointed out.

"...Well, it's almost the same thing."

[DededeCloneChris]

Kitchen

Persona 4 - New Days

"...It's almost ready?" Lucario asked as he was sitting on a chair, there was another chair besides him with bowls, spoons and oddly, chopsticks.

"...Wait...okay, it's done." Chris said taking out 2 boiling cups of noodle soup from the microwave and poured both of them in the bowls, the steam's odor went towards Lucario and he smelled it, he let out a sigh of pleasure as Chris threw the empty vases to the trash can. "Oh yes, I missed to eat this back home, and it's even better with the climate out there."

"I also missed this as well," Lucario said grabbing the chopsticks. "But doesn't it feel awkward to eat the noddles with chopsticks?"

"Well, I just saw the chopsticks laying on the table in home when I was eating the soup, and I thought to use them instead of the forks," Chris said grabbing his chopsticks. "But you've got to admit, it's fun to eat the noodles as well like this."

"...That's fine but..."

"But?"

"Can we stop talking and eat the soup while it's hot?"

Chris stared at his bowl and chuckled a little. "S-sorry, I was just answering your doubt."

"It's fine..." Lucario said with a small smile as both started eating their soups.

The delicate texture of the noodles, along with the soup's flavor were just enough for them to make happy expressions, the Aura Pokémon and the World Traveler were enjoying their time together as they ate all alone.

"Lucario..." Chris began as Lucario opened his left eye as he continued eating. "Are you still ashamed for what happened?"

"..." Lucario stopped eating and looked away with a worried look. "...I...I don't know Chris..."

"But Lucario, you came to rescue me even if you were ashamed, deep down, you were still you."

"...I was still me?" Lucario asked confused looking at Chris.

Chris smiled and closed his eyes. "Yes, the same Warrior of the Aura that looks and protects me, you don't know how much I like that."

Lucario looked down. "But am I worthy to accept all the praise?"

"Because I got hurt when you weren't with me?"

"...Yes..." Lucario muttered.

"...You dork."

"Huh?"

"Remember, it was my responsability to make that decision, you accepted it if I recall, right?"

"Y-yes, but..."

"Lucario, don't give me the buts again, it was my own fault that I got hurt, it wasn't yours... I think I was thinking back then "I can do this without Lucario to shield me, I should start defending myself and not use the others's help" when I choose my final decision."

Lucario closed his eyes, still feeling regretful.

"...Maybe, just maybe, I need to stay more time with my favorite hero of all times..."

Lucario opened his eyes in surprise and blushed a little. "N-no, I'm not a hero..."

"You ARE a hero, Lucario!" Chris said raising his voice as Lucario blinked in surprise. "You've saved me countless of times before, you've also spent the time together with me when I was feeling sad in our house, you looked after me when I got sick in school days, you used your tremendous strength to help me fight against the Subspace Army and such, and not only that..." Chris blushed a little. "...You've been the greatest person in the universe for me..."

Lucario couldn't help it but he smiled a little.

"Seeing you fight in the battles it's the only thing that inspires me to be strong, I have many skills under my arsenal, but I admit it, I still have lots of troubles to get used to them, but I try hard enough every day just to get strong like you," Chris looked to the window where the snow was falling outside, he could see the Ice Climbers making the igloo they mentioned. "I sort of want to be enough strong to save you from an attack that could kill you, so after that I jump towards the bastard who does that and beat him to a bloody pulp...just to protect you of course."

"...I have the same feeling Chris..." Lucario muttered as Chris smiled a little.

"So, are you still ashamed?"

"Haha, not anymore, thanks to you, now I feel very honored."

Chris blinked surprised as his eyes widened. "U-um, honored? Isn't that going too far?"

Lucario chuckled. "No."

Chris chuckled after that and looked back to the window, to the Ice Climbers as well who looked at him and waved. "Of course, everyone here gives me the same thing as you, but...since we know each other very well, you give me more than anyone else here."

"...Do you know what I can't wait to do?"

"What?"

"Shield you from a bullet with my arms."

"...But isn't a bullet going to bounce off from your arms?"

"That's why I'll beat the bastard to a bloody pulp..." Lucario noticed that Chris looked worried. "...I-it's just a saying, not literally of course!"

"Phew, I thought you were serious for a second."

Lucario wrapped his left arm around Chris's shoulders and pulled him close to him. "I'd never do something to scare you, anymore."

"Thank you, Lucario..." Chris trailed off as Lucario liked his cheek a little. "...The soup!"

Lucario let Chris fall by accident and quickly continued to eat.

"You...little..." Chris muttered in the floor as Lucario glanced behind him, he gasped and decided to help Chris.

"Sorry... I was hungry..." Lucario trailed off blushing.

"I-it's okay...but, don't do it again..." Chris said moaning a little in pain, but Lucario once again licked his cheek as an apology. "You're like my tall dog."

"...Chris."

"Yes?"

"Please, don't ruin this moment."

Chris made an annoyed look. "Now I'm the one ruining the dinner?" Chris asked as both laughed together after that and continued to eat.

Several minutes later...

"Have you finished yet Lucario?" Chris asked swallowing his noodles.

"No, we talked too much." Lucario said.

"Duh, I finished mine some minutes ago." Kirby said as both gasped when they found Kirby sitting close to Chris, the Star Warrior burped since he finished his bowl.

"W-when did you appear?!" Chris asked.

"After Lucario let you fall."

Lucario looked away, sighing disappointed.

Lucario's Room

Both now where laying down in the bed as they looked outside, the snow falling during the night as Chris sneezed a little, but decided to look the snow again.

"...I can't wait for tomorrow and play outside." Chris said burying himself in the bed sheets.

"It's going to be very cold, right?" Lucario asked.

"Of course, I need to be careful and not get a cold...achoo!"

Lucario wrapped his arm around Chris's shoulder and pulled him closer to his neck. "Now, let's rest."

Chris blushed. "A-am I going to rest above your neck? Why?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm protecting you."

"But from what?"

"From getting a cold, my fur is warm enough to get your head warm, isn't it?"

"W-well... I do admit that is warm..." Chris said as Lucario put a stronger grip on him. "Okay, okay, I'm sleeping now!"

Lucario licked his face and Chris chuckled heartily, the World Traveler decided to lean his face to Lucario's chest and the Aura Pokémon growled happily before he fell asleep.

Now, Lucario was happy again, Chris was very happy again, he was under his protection, and better than that, both of them were together once again, it was a cold night too, so the Aura Pokemón decided to keep his trainer warm for the rest of the night, it was Lucario's dream coming true, nothing would interrupt their peaceful sleep...

"...Grr..." Lucario growled silently as he put a stronger grip on Chris, the World Traveler slowly opened his eyes and looked to Lucario's face, the Aura Pokémon wasn't paying any attention to his trainer as he shifted his eyes around.

"(...Why is he growling?... Wait...)" Chris thought. "(...He's just worried about me, and that's why he wants to keep me closer under his arm... Lucario, you're the best... There's no doubt...)" Chris hugged Lucario as he began to fall asleep.

"(Huh?)" Lucario looked down to Chris, the World Traveler was smiling happily. "(W-why did he hug me?... I shouldn't be asking that right now... Thank you... Chris...)" Lucario said licking Chris's forehead a little as he fell asleep with a yawn, showing his fangs completely before falling asleep above his trainer's head.

"...And I tried to crush their bond..." Snake muttered from the slightly opened door, it was because of him that Lucario growled, the soldier just chuckled silently as he closed the door slowly. "I better keep an eye in the kid's progress."

"Snake, are you happy for being part of their team now?" Mei Ling asked.

"...Heh," Snake smiled a little as he walked away to his room. "Just maybe, this could prove to be interesting after all..."

"I think it's because of Samus." Otacon whispered.

"What was that?"

"N-nothing Snake, good night." Otacon said sweating.

"Yes, Snake, have good dreams." Mei Ling said ending the codec call with a chuckle.

Snake looked back at their room as he walked away. "...Good night to you 2..."

"...Chris?" Lucario called.

"...Yes..." Chris asked grogily.

"Where is the Smash Ball that you bought from Master Hand? Didn't you buy one?"

"...I'm going to kill that hand...good night, Lucario..."

"...Good night..."

Preview of the next chapter

"Okay, let's see, the short leg goes here then...aw, dangit! I can't believe I don't understand the formula anymore!"

"Ah, you mean you want to know how to get the hypotenuse of a triangle?"

"That's what I want to...wait, what are you doing here?"

...

"So Nana and myself will sing this song?"

"Yes, Zelda wanted to stay out for this time."

"Ugh, I hope everything goes well..." Nana said.

...

"Excuse me, but have you seen an old man in a purple coat, with a laidback and lazy attitude?"

C. Falcon's eyes widened after he saw, or thought when he saw the most sexiest person in the universe besides Samus, at least he thought, standing in front of the door.

"..." C. Falcon was left speechless.

...

"Fortunately Link told me that he never drinks beer, right Link?"

"Yeah...right...hic!"

"...Oh my god..." Chris said astonished.

...

"A Persona-lific break... Dammit, why am I saying the next chapter's name again? Idiots..." Snake grumbled.

Chapter 105: A Persona-lific break

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"..."

The Ancient Minister looked away. "...You may be angry by the result of the Axem Rangers..."

"..." Tabuu was still speechless.

"...And for the lost of the sixth Star Spirit as well..."

"..." Tabuu sighed in disappointment. "Another battle that we lose...curse them all..."

"I, as well, may report that the hands have sealed the path to the worlds again like the last time."

"...Then, we should take advantage of this little situation and prepare those fools from the incident with Sonic."

"Ah, you mean the power of the Final Smash that you want to bestow upon them?"

"It is the only thing I can do for now to make them stronger... For now, I shall think by myself again, however, I want you to keep in guard the last Star Spirit," Tabuu turned his back. "We do not want them to find that star, do we?"

The Ancient Minister shook his head. "Most certainly no, since the Star Spirit is right close to them without any kind of suspicions."

"That is enough."

"...Right." The Ancient Minister watched Tabuu teleporting away, then, he looked around to be secure that he was alone, and quickly, opened the screen to see Mr. G&W again. "...We'll escape soon from here...just...give me more time for now..."

But there was someone watching from the darkness...

"Heheheheh...so, he wants to escape from this place? I'll tell Tabuu about that and I'll probably get whatever I want!"

The Ancient Minister merely turned and fired a beam to Porky, the beam paralyzed the machine that he was in and Porky shook his head as the Ancient Minister closed the screen. "Porky, you can't go and cause havoc when there are no orders, may I ask, what are you doing here?"

"I...well...what am I doing here? I just feel like a beam did something to my brain..."

"Don't be stupid and get away."

"R-right away!" Porky said stomping away.

The Ancient Minister looked at the darkness of the Subspace as he talked to himself. "I'm not that ignorant and let anyone know about my own plans, designing this mind eraser beam was a good idea after all..."

Smash Mansion
Igloo

Snowman

The morning came in the snowy paradise of snow, it was 5:00 AM at the time, inside the igloo, we see the Ice Climbers sleeping deeply in ice beds, ice pillows, everything was of ice while the snow fell gently from the sky.

Unfortunately, their peace was going to end soon for now...

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Someone was knocking on the door and Popo grumbled annoyed, the blue eskimo jumped off from his bed and walked towards the door, eyes still closed with grumbling noise from his closed mouth, Popo grabbed the ice-shaped doorknob and opened the door.

On the other side of the door, there was small imp creature, the creature had purple fur around his small body, except for the white oval from his stomach to neck, on his neck, he wore a necklace with a green crystal on the center, the creature also was flying with his small and rounded fairy-like wings, it had a white cream-shaped tail, as well as the white cream-shaped hair of his forehead, it also had a trusty but somewhat cartoony face and it appeared that the creature wasn't that affected by the snow at all.

"Hi there kind sir!" The imp called with a smile.

"Hmmmmmm..." Popo grumbled, still unable to open his eyes.

"Sorry for interrupting at this hour, but, you see, I lost something very important and I need your help!"

"...Hmmmmmm..."

"I lost my memory! My memory! Can you believe that? I lost my memory, everything, even my name!"

"...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...."

The imp kept going on with his speech. "So I was wondering if you could help me and look for my memory because I think I had something really really really important to do an-"

"We don't accept credit cards, have a nice day..."

SLAM!

The imp blinked with his smile still on his face after Popo slammed the ice door in front of him and looked at the mansion, not that far away from the igloo. "...Well, I can always ask to anybody in there, I wonder if there is anyone there though..." The imp went to the door and knocked on it. "Hello? Is anybody in there? Hello?"

The door opened slowly and revealed Sonic on the other side, he was still yawning (and his eyes were still closed) from getting up so early and decided to eat a chocolate bar, somehow, the imp focused his eyes on the chocolate bar. "...Oh...hi there..." Sonic said grogily, eating his chocolate as the imp's eyes reflected the image of the dessert.

"Good morning sir, but, may I have your time?" The imp asked.

"...Sure..." Sonic said yawning.

The imp kept looking at the chocolate bar. "Um...well...you see...my...memory got...um...missing and I can't even...remember anything...so..."

Sonic opened one eye to look at the imp, but closed it after a second. "Oh...I see..."

"And I was...wondering if you...um...can I...eat that?" The imp asked pointing at the chocolate bar.

"...Sure...go ahead...Chip..." Sonic said giving the chocolate bar to the imp that he named Chip out of the blue.

"C-Chip?" The imp asked with wide eyes. "W-why are you giving me a name?"

"Is not obvious?... You like desserts...my chocolate bar disappeared once I gave it to you..."

The imp had a brown mud around his mouth as he blinked. "I DO like the chocolate, thank you so much si-"

SLAM!

The imp blinked with his smile as he turned his back to the door once Sonic slammed the door in front of him. "...Hmm... Chip... That isn't a bad name...from now on, I'll be Chip! Yeah!" The imp named Chip said making a fist in the air as he remembered something important. "Oh no! My memory! What can I do about that?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Chip began to run in the air, putting his hands above his head as he stared at the mansion once he stopped. "...Hmm...maybe there are more people in there besides that guy...oh well, I'll come later and ask." Chip said humming happily as he flew away.

Lucario's Room

Meanwhile, we see now the World Traveler sleeping peacefully, close to the Aura Pokémon who still had him under his arm, Lucario let out a long yawn (showing completely his fangs again) as he grumbled a little and stared down at Chris.

"...Lucario...your fur...is all fuzzy...heheheh..." Chris mumbled with a chuckle as Lucario blinked surprised while he blushed.

"...Chris..." Lucario muttered as he rested his head above Chris's head.

1 hour later...

Persona 4 - Your Affection

"It's sno-wiiiiiing!" Chris woke up happily by shouting, he looked outside and for his luck, the snow was still falling from the sky, his wish came true and the day was very good for him. "Lucario, wake up! It's still snowing!"

"Hmmmmmm..." Lucario grumbled.

"Lucario, wake up! I want to stand up!"

"..." Lucario set Chris free and the World Traveler got out from the bed, the Aura Pokémon opened his eyes slowly, letting out a long yawn again. "Good...morning, Chris..."

"Good morning, Lucario," Chris said with a heartily chuckle. "I can't believe it's still snowing out there, I can play in the snow after all!"

"...Good for you..." Lucario said turning his back to Chris.

"Oh please, you don't feel that excited as me today?" Chris asked and Lucario shook his head. "...Fine, it's rare to see you out of energy in a morning, you're usually meditating at this hour...whatever, I think I'm going outside."

"Go and have fun..." Lucario mumbled as he covered with the bed sheet.

Chris was about to leave the room as he looked to Lucario, then, he remembered something important. "Wait... I think I should stay behind."

"..." Lucario was now sleeping.

"Lucario, do I have homework to do?"

"...Yes, you do...you have a math homework that you left pending when you made the 2 of us get in this long journey..." Lucario mumbled as he returned to sleep.

Chris sweatdropped. "...Did you have to say it that way?"

Various minutes later...

For his suprise, Chris found his backpack below the bed, maybe because Master Hand moved by himself some things from Chris's house when Chris didn't notice.

Much for Chris's surprise, there was his Wii and PS2 under his bed as well, but why were those things there, along with all the accessories? There wasn't a TV to plug in the consoles...

He let that go for later and decided to do his homework on the desk of the room, he was being impatient because he wanted to play out in the snow so badly, though why did he ask himself to do his homework at that moment? Maybe because it was going to be boring and play outside all alone with everyone else sleeping.

On a side note, his Knowledge increased.

"...UGH!" Chris grabbed his head in frustration after he got in a problem for an exercise.

His Knowledge decreased...

"Okay, let's see, the short leg goes here then...aw, dangit! I can't believe I don't understand the formula anymore!"

"Ah, you mean you want to know how to get the hypotenuse of a triangle?"

"That's what I want to...wait, what are you doing here?"

Chris found Geno standing in front of the door, the puppet walked to him and looked at the notebook.

"It's very simple, to get the hypotenuse in this triangle of 90-60-30, you need to use this formula: Hypotenuse equals 2 by shortest leg, that is the side in front of 30 grades."

Chris stared at the numbers of the notebook and began to do the mentioned formula.

By thinking through, his Knowledge went up again.

"Basically, it's the double in short terms." Geno explained as Chris finished.

"Thank you, Geno, I didn't know you could do geometry of this level."

"We the stars need to be wise, you could ask Twink the same thing and he'll probably answer it as well."

"Twink can do geometry of this level?"

"He could assist the college if he wanted."

Chris couldn't believe that a young star like Twink could enter the college, now Chris felt embarrassed. "Oh... I see, maybe I could ask him to be my teacher."

Geno chuckled a little. "That's kind of funny."

"...Wait, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"I wanted to inspect the mansion while everyone was sleeping, and I happened to stumble in this room when you were doing your homework."

"You're worried about Snake?"

"...Possibly, I mean, I can't trust him that well yet, and mostly everyone here as well."

Chris looked outside. "Yes, after all, he tried to kidnap me but decided not to at the end..."

"But I have to see bright side," Geno began. "You're here and that's a relief for everyone."

"Thank you."

"No problem, you seem to be an important part of this group."

Chris blushed a little. "T-that's just because I like to be kind to anyone that is a good guy..."

Geno chuckled. "Maybe that is your natural ability, have you ever thought about having a natural ability?"

"...Nope."

"Well, you have a natural ability, that is getting along with anyone."

Chris looked down. "...It's just because I didn't have many friends in my school and mostly because I didn't want to make friends once my parents left me alon...n-nevermind."

Geno raised an eyebrow. "Were you going to say something?"

Chris chuckled nervously. "N-no... I'd rather not talk about something I don't want to remember..."

Geno looked a little worried but smiled a little. "Okay, I need to inspect the mansion a little more, see you." Geno waved at Chris as he left the room.

"...Please, I don't want to remember that again..."

His Expression went up a little bit.

Chris thought now about what to do for today besides playing outside in the snow.

"Professor, can you show me my partnership level with all the Smashers?" Chris asked turning on his DS.

"Oh ho ho, certainly! You should work a little more on them!" Kawashima said showing Chris the list of all the Smashers living in the mansion.

Partner: Percentage Level
Lucario: 100
Yoshi: 100
Pikachu: 100
Pichu: 100
Jigglypuff: 100
Mewtwo: 65
Red: 80
Squirtle: 85
Ivysaur: 75
Donkey Kong: 70
Diddy Kong: 90
Kirby: 100
Meta Knight: 17
Link: 80
Zelda: 85
Toon Link: 85
Fox: 80
Falco: 100
Wolf: Basically he still hates you even after all the things you did, so 0
Captain Falcon: 70
Olimar: 70
Marth: 75
Roy: 80
Ike: 50
Ness: 100
Lucas: 100
Pit: 90
Ice Climbers: 100
Snake: 20
Sonic: 101

"...There are many questions circulating around my mind..." Chris said staring at some of the percentages. "...Why is Sonic 101?"

"Because it seems he just plain likes you so much." Kawashima said with a chuckle.

"...But even more than Lucario? That's creepy...but some of the percentages have been lowered as well."

"That's probably because you did something offending or haven't spend your time properly, the percentages won't stay at 100 all the time, you need to be careful when talking to one of them."

Chris raised a finger. "Give me one reason why is Fox's level even lower than before."

"You insulted him with his "sick eye" if I remember."

"Hey! I didn't know it wasn't sick, it looked sick to me!"

"Even so, you need to apologize to him."

"...Fine, should I get working on them now?"

Kawashima smiled a little. "That'd be great." Kawashima said as he turned himself off.

"...Maybe I should spend time with Mewtwo for now... I want to use psychic powers as him..." Chris muttered as he walked to the hallway and went to Mewtwo's room.

Tales of Vesperia

Dahngrest
It is almost completed...the inn I mean

United Oath

"..." Rita stared at Yuri as she readed her book of Blastia.

"...Fine, I'll go and get Judy." Yuri said rolling his eyes as he walked away from the inn.

"..." Rita somehow knew that people were watching her and glared at the readers. "Yeah, I know, I'll go for those guys after Yuri fails as well...you're still there?!"

Smash Mansion
Mewtwo's Room

Music stops

In a hurry for not getting pummeled by Rita's Violent Pain, we change the scene quickly to Mewtwo and Chris, both of them were meditating silently (because Chris was using his Psychic user job).

"..." Chris was glowing in a pink aura, along with Mewtwo.

Mewtwo slightly opened his eyes, and Chris seemed to do the same. "...Well done, now leave and wait until we get more training at the right time."

"...Understood..." Chris muttered as he walked away from Mewtwo.

"...Change your jobs before leaving," Mewtwo began. "Leaving this energy powered room will only cause destruction in your path, your psychic powers need more training and control."

"...Yes..." Chris muttered as he changed to a job and left the room, Mewtwo blinked as he was still glowing, but closed his eyes with a small grin.

"(I shall wait for our next training, it's hard to find a disciple like you around...)" Mewtwo thought with an echoing chuckle.

"...Dammit, kupo!"

Mewtwo stopped chuckling as he frowned, Chris chose the Moogle Knight job by accident. "...Whatever..."

Hallway

Persona 4 - Heartbeat, Heartbreak

"Ugh, now I'm back being a Moogle, kupo!" Chris said stomping the floor angrily.

"Oh, Chris!" Pichu came walking down the hall (wearing a red scarf around his neck) and went to Chris. "Good morning, it's good to see you in that appearance!"

"But I hate it, kupo!"
"Meh, it's the same...kupo."
"Why are you being so nice now, kupo?"
"Kupo?"

"Meh, it's the same...kupo." Chris said frowning.

Pichu shifted his eyes a little. "Well, it's still early, so everyone is still sleeping, what do you want to do?"

"I had in mind to spend time with some of them and raise the partnership level, kupo, but what can I do while they're sleeping, kupo?"

"Sneak into their rooms?" Pichu thought. "You know, I think Falco woke up early, so why don't we go and see him?"

"Okay...kupo." And both small characters went to Falco's Room

Falco's Room

Falco was still, unable to move out from his bed because it was very cold for him to walk out in the halls. "...Dammit, why it has to snow outside? For god's sake, it's still snowing out there!" Falco made an annoyed face. "At this rate, I'm not going to do anything besides someone entering if I can see someone first!"

"Hey Falco!" Pichu jumped quickly above Falco.

"UAH!" Falco screamed in fear as he almost got a heart attack. "D-don't do that again!"

"Sorry..."

"...What are you doing here, anyway?"

"Well, Chris and I wanted to visit you, because it's still early."

Falco looked around from his pillow. "And where is he?"

"Um...here, kupo." Chris said looking away embarrassed as he flew and landed besides Pichu.

"...Pichu, is that a Pokémon creature of yours?"

"P-Pokémon?! I-I'm Chris, kupo!" Chris protested pouting.

Falco rolled his eyes. "Okay, if you're Chris, tell me something both of us remember."

"You had an affair with Wave the Swallow, but ended up dumping you that made you change into a guy who doesn't like girls anymore, kupo."

Falco blinked shocked at this. "...You're Chris...right?"

"...Yes, kupo?"

The avian continued to blink as he tried not to laugh at Chris's appearance. "Snrk..."

"...Fine! Go ahead and laugh at me! I got this job of the Moogle Knight in the shop yesterday and I turned into this, kupo!"

"BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!" Falco bursted out laughing as Chris crossed his arms with an annoyed face. "O-oh god, my funny bone! I can't stop laughing! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Grrrr... Kupo..."

Falco started to laugh even harder than before after a while, but then he panted heavily, wiping out a tear from his right eye. "M-man, this makes up for the annoying prison of cold this is!"

"Okay, okay, okay, we laughed at Chris because of his furried appearance, now, stop it, seriously...kupo."

Falco chuckled a little but calmed down. "Well, at least that was entertaining, thank you for you coming here."

"...Pichu, let's go before he laughs at me again, kupo." Chris said annoyed as he flew away with Pichu following, of course, once they closed the door, they could hear Falco cracking up even more than before. "Hope you get into an iceberg, kupo!" Chris yelled annoyed as he walked away with Pichu.

On the hall, however, they found Marth holding a book on his hands.

"Oh, good morning." Marth greeted them as they stopped.

"What is that book you're holding?" Pichu asked.

Marth grabbed the book on one hand. "It's a special book that lets you understand the foreign laguage I use, for example, you can...well, you wouldn't understand its meanings, but I was planning to give it to Chris."

"Oh, thank you, kupo."
"Great, another book to look for, kupo."
"I don't want it, kupo!"
"Gimme! Kupo!"

"Gimme! Kupo!" Chris said extending his hands to Marth's book. "Hmm..."

"Well, I have some things to do today, so I'll be leaving you." Marth said walking away.

"Are you going to show Ike the mansion?" Pichu asked.

Marth scratched the back of his head as he went away. "...Yes, he still needs some pointers about the technology here." Marth said as he disappeared in the halls.

Pichu peered at the book Chris was reading. "So, this book will help us talk like Marth?"

"...Oh! Look at this! You can add these japanese termings at the end of each one's name to point out something, kupo!" Chris said reading through the book with Pichu. "...For example, I can call you Pichu-san."

"-san" Shows respect and deference, usually to one's elders or simply people one does not know very well.

Pichu raised an eyebrow as he readed through. "But it's not -kun?"

"-kun" is a term of familiarity, mostly used in address to males.

"Nope, kupo, it says here that women use this term to males, however, there are men that have been saying this to men, kupo."

"So what is the difference?"

"Well...let's stick with -san, okay, kupo?"

"If you say so...hey, there are more in here!"

"Like -chan?"

"-chan" is like "-kun" but mostly addressed to females.

"Oh! Oh!" Pichu hopped a little. "For example Jigglypuff-chan!"

Chris nodded. "Yes, but I think Jiggly-chan fits well, don't you think, kupo?"

Pichu rubbed his chin. "Hmm...it sounds good... Jiggly-chan!"

"Or Zelda-chan, kupo!"

"Or Peach-chan!"

"Or Nana-chan, kupo!"

"Or Samus-chan!"

Chris readed the book a little more. "Hey, there's even more in here, kupo."

Pichu got closer and readed along Chris. "Hmm, so we can use more terms?"

"Yes, for example -sensei, kupo."

"-sensei" denotes professional respect, such as to teachers or doctors.

"Dr. Mario-sensei then?" Pichu asked.

"Too bad we won't see that clone around...kupo." Chris said shrugging.

"I can't think on any sensei here..." Pichu said lowering his ears in shame.

"Blame Master Hand-sensei, he doesn't hire any professional here... Is Master Hand even a sensei? Oh, here's another one, -senpai, kupo."

"-senpai" is used to address senior or "mentor" figures; a relationship that is generally absent in America. The opposite of senpai is kouhai, the student or junior figure.

"What is an America?" Pichu asked confused.

"Er...I'll tell you later."

"Aww..."

Chris readed the definition again. "...Oh, I see, senior figures would be people who are older than us, kupo."

"Like Snake-senpai?"

Chris shuddered. "...Er...I won't call that guy senpai never, ever...pick another guess, kupo."

"Hmm... Like..."

"How come we can't remember seniors in here, kupo?" Chris said thinking.

"...Wait, isn't Mario a senior?"

"Oh, Mario-senpai, I like how that ends with, kupo."

"And isn't Pikachu a senpai too?"

"At least for you he's a senpai, but I'll use -san with him."

"I have another one! Fox-senpai!"

"Hmm, I like how that ends as well, kupo."

"Should we address them like that when we see them around?"

"Pichu, that has to be the most, interesting idea I've heard so far during this day, kupo!" Chris looked at the book. "And we got the last one, -sama, kupo."

"-sama" is a very high form of respect, used to address authority figures.

"I guess Master Hand falls on that term." Pichu said.

"Master Hand-sama... Master-sama... Kind of ironic, isn't it, kupo?"

Pichu chuckled. "Yes, master and sama are related."

Chris looked at the book again. "There are even more foreign terms as well, but let's look at them sometime later when we need to."

"But you know, I want a ko-tat-su table, it says here it's great for cold seasons, like this one we have today."

Kotatsu: A small table with a heater beneath the surface and an oversized blanket draped on top of it to cover the openings. It is used to warm oneself on cold winter days.

"I think I saw a kotatsu table in a channel on the TV," Chris said rubbing his chin. "Maybe someone here knows where is a kotatsu table, kupo."

"Nah, I doubt it, probably Marth or Roy, but nobody else knows about this." Pichu said.

"Let's find one, kupo!"
"And if we make one ourselves, kupo?"
"Screw differences, I want my hot table, kupo."

"Screw differences, I want my hot table, kupo." Chris said keeping the book in his inventory.

"But there isn't one here!" Pichu reminded Chris.

Chris sighed disappointed. "I know if we had one, everybody would try it once they see us using one, kupo!"

"Too bad that there isn't one here though..."

"...Want to wake up Jiggly-chan?"

Pichu wagged his tail. "Of course!"

Various minutes later...

The trio showed Jigglypuff the foreign meaning, and she apparently got interested in them as well.

"Haha, it's fun to address people with those funny sounding terms." Jigglypuff said as the trio were walking down the main lobby.

Main Lobby

"Everyone is still sleeping, right Pichu-san, kupo?" Chris asked.

"Unfortunately, it's 8 ó clock and we're the only ones awake." Pichu said.

"Hey, didn't Popo-san and Nana-chan mention that they made an igloo outside?" Jigglypuff asked.

"We could go inside the igloo they made!"

Chris walked to the door. "Okay, so let's go and visit Popo-san and Nana-chan to do something funn-"

When Chris opened the door, there was Chip again, the imp wanted to knock on the door but Chris opened it before he could do his move.

"...May I help you, kupo?" Chris asked.

"O-oh!" Chip laughed heartily. "Good morning sir, you see, I wanted t-"

Chris chuckled heartily. "Sorry, but we don't accept credit cards today, and possibly none of the 38 people and the crowd of Prinnys living in here, good bye, kupo!"

SLAM!

"...38 people? Then I'll keep coming here more often!" Chip muttered to himself as the trio walked away from the door.

"Okay, we can't get out because that credit card seller is outside, he could keep bothering us for all the days and, who knows, every single day...I have that feeling, any ideas, Chris-kun?" Jigglypuff asked.

"There should be anyone in here who's awake, kupo, but who?" Chris asked as suddenly a fast blue bur ran in front of them. "...That should be Sonic..."

"Hey you guys!" Sonic returned back and put his right hand on his hip. "Good morning, I was checking out this place, and it's completely awesome, there's even a GYM and pretty much everything else!"

"Yes, we thought you were going to wake up early." Jigglypuff said.

"(There's a GYM here, kupo?)" Chris thought surprised.

"So anyway..." Sonic scratched his left ear with one finger. "Nobody's awake now, it feels like a storm came through here and took all of them away, it's like a dead cemetery."

"...Cemeteries are supposed to have dead people, Sonic-san." Jigglypuff said with a bored look.

Sonic got confused about the "-san" part at the end of his name. "...Sonic-san? What's that? Some kind of new word?"

The group explained what it meant and Sonic grinned a little bit.

"I see now, it's a foreign term as the other ones you showed to me, right?"

"Yep, and it's fun to use!" Pichu said hopping a little.

"I thought you didn't like to learn something new, Sonic-san, kupo."
"Sonic-san learning something?! It's the apocalypse, kupo?!"
"I should call you Sonic-kun then, kupo...wait, nevermind."
"Wow, that's new coming from you, kupo."

"Wow, that's new coming from you, kupo." Chris said.

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well...to be honest, I thought you were more hyperactive and didn't like to learn something like this before, but you impressed me, you did care about this, kupo."

Sonic chuckled a little before he yawned. "Maybe because I'm just plain bored, you know, kill the time and all that."

The trio sweatdropped at this with bored looks.

"...I knew there was something behind him." Jigglypuff said as Sonic sweatdropped.

"...What are you guys doing anyway?" Sonic asked crossing his arms.

"That's what we're trying to think," Pichu said. "We don't have anything else to do, maybe we should wait for everyone to wake up first?"

"There you are!" A voice called out and Master Hand appeared in a cloud of smoke. "Ah, Chris, I've been looking for you, come on, we have to do a sidequest I want you to do," Master Hand looked at the others. "If you want, you can follow us too."

"Alright, Master Hand-sama." Jigglypuff said as the 5 walked towards the command room.

"So you're learning foreign terms? Wow, there aren't many Smashers who use those foreign terms here."

"Knowledge is a dinner well served, kupo."
"Only because we wanted, kupo."
"We want to make a fad, kupo."
"Can you use foreign terms too, kupo?"

"We want to make a fad, kupo." Chris said as the others looked at each other with surprised looks.

"Hmm, a fad using foreign terms? That should be interesting to spread some culture around here." Master Hand said.

"...Wait, weren't you weak because you sealed all the paths to the worlds, kupo?"

"Pfft, I tricked Crazy and made him use all his energy instead of mine, he is now sleeping, dreaming with seahorses and singing something under the sea."

Chris shook his head. "...Nevermind, kupo."

Command Room

"Good morning..." Toon Link said grogily extending his arms a little bit.

"What are you doing here?" Jigglypuff asked.

"Master Hand wanted me for something so I came here and see what does he want." Toon Link explained.

"Okay, Toon Link, you said before that you knew 2 musicians, correct?" Master Hand asked.

"Yes, Medli and Makar, both can use instruments...wait, it's LINK!" Toon Link said angrily, but the hand seemed to ignore him.

"Chris, open the portal," Master Hand said simply, the World Traveler looked confused but opened the portal to Toon Link's world. "Now, Too-I mean, Link-san, I need you to go with those 2 and get them here."

"For what?" Toon Link stepping in front of the portal.

"Remember that those penguin things destroyed all the 258 tracks that we were going use in the stages? Well, I have a hunch that we're going to use them really soon and so we need the music to spice up the battles, battles here are not battles without some beautiful tracks to listen!"

"...I dunno if they're going to c-" Master Hand grabbed the small swordsman and threw him inside.

"Well, that takes care of that." Master Hand said chuckling.

Jigglypuff's ears perked up a little. "Oh! Can I sing and do some tracks as well? Pretty please, please, please?"

"Hmm...if your singing doesn't make anyone fall asleep, then yes."

Jigglypuff began to think. "That's...going to be hard, but..."

"You know, the Musician job has some hidden skills that affects some people, and in your case it could change your voice to get the right song correct."

"I-I can do that? Kupo?" Chris asked blinking surprised.

"Yep, that's another reason the job was expensive, but don't worry about tracks with voices, there aren't many."

"...Well, compose music is fun, kupo..."

Sonic yawned a little. "Are there any rock style music? 'Cuz I want to do some rockin' around this place, I'm good at the electric guitar."

Chris's right eye twitched. "(Oh, no, NO NO NO NO NO... Please, this can't be the Sonic from Sonic Underground, kupo!) S-Sonic-san, do you...have any brothers?"

Sonic made a confused look. "...None that I'm aware of, I'm glad that I don't have ones to begin with."

"Phew, kupo..."

30 minutes later...

"...How much until that guy gets here?" Sonic asked with crossed arms.

"Hey, it's hard to navigate through the ocean." Master Hand said.

"...O-ocean? T-the same ocean with water all around the distance?!"

"Sonic-san, you seem freaked out." Pichu said.

"It's because Sonic-san hates water so much that he wants to stay away from it, kupo." Chris said.

"Y-yeah, I-I mean, it's just a bunch of water in a big place where there's no land...u-ugh..." Sonic shuddered embracing himself.

"Coming!" Toon Link said walking out the portal with 2 familiar figures before it closed. "Sorry, but I had to travel in the ocean in order to get Makar." Toon Link said as Sonic shuddered even more.

The 2 figures were Medli, the Rito and Makar, one of the children of Forest Haven, the Koroks.

"H-hi," Medli said with a polite bow, her harp behind her back. "M-my name is Medli and...I'd like to make music to your hearts contents so...please, be kind to me." Medli said blushing a little.

"Hello!" Makar said carrying his leaf violin. "I'm Makar, and I'd also like to make music together with many other people as well, I'll give it my all just for you!"

"Don't worry Master Hand," Toon Link said. "They're used to see monsters so, they won't fear anyone here, or you."

"Well, that's great," Master Hand said. "Welcome to the Smash Mansion you 2, I hope Link explained everything to you."

Medli nodded. "Y-yes, he did, I was training with my harp on the island when he suddenly appeared, I really got happy after so much time it passed...and I got even happier when he was looking for a talented musician..." Medli looked down blushing. "A-and I accepted his request after saying good bye to the tribe...but Prince Komali looked kind of sad, but he will be fine, I trust him."

"And I was just playing below the waterfall when he came in, so why not making music with other musicians as well?" Makar stated simply with a chuckle.

"Ahem, Chris," Master Hand began. "We still need more musicians, and I'd like to have more around here in order to get all the tracks together."

Medli looked at the creature that Master Hand was looking. "...You're...Chris?"

Chris blushed and nodded. "Um...yes...long story, kupo..."

"Oh...then I hope you get back to your normal form soon...at least that is what I think..."

"No no no no, I can return to my normal form whenever I want, don't worry, kupo."

At that moment, the Ice Climbers came to the room and looked at them. "There are new guests here?" Nana asked.

"They're our first 2 musicians to get all the tracks, the 258 tracks that ETNA'S SERVANTS DESTROYED!" Master Hand yelled annoyed.

"I told you, it was an accident!" Etna yelled from her room.

"Dood!" All the Prinnys yelled before they fell asleep.

"258?" Medli and Makar repeated shocked.

"That is going to be the hardest work to complete!" Makar said.

"I agree...258 songs? That is a little way too much..." Medli wondered.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Oh, did you buy any of that credit card's guy credit cards?" Popo asked.

"...We didn't, kupo." Chris said sweatdropping.

Nana frowned. "Seriously, that guy went on and on about something about his memory being lost and all that, but who's going to bother with him?"

"His memory got erased?!" Sonic asked shocked.

"...Er...that isn't that shocking, he probably just hit his head with a brick, you know, he even looks like he came out from some sort of cartoon, how creepy..."

"More music, less talk, more rooms, less words, more singing prowess, less credit cards, chop-chop!" Master Hand said.

Music Room

Music stops

Makar flew around the room as Medli walked to any part she could walk to, both of them were amazed of the space of the room that they got interested about working in such place only for music.

"My...this room is beautiful..." Medli said astonished as Master Hand laughed heartily.

"Aw, you're making blush, anyway, welcome to the music room, where the music shall be born with the most talented musicians of all times!" Master Hand greeted as some trumpets were heard in the background.

Toon Link looked at Popo holding a trumpet. "...You play the trumpet?"

"Meh, only in my free time." Popo said throwing the trumpet away.

"Now, I know this is kind of rushed but...I want to hear any kind of song or music today," Master Hand requested. "Since everyone is still sleeping, and I consider that rather offensive personally, I want to have a good music for this morning, would you please musicians do something like that?"

Medli grabbed her harp. "Maybe, I mean, I just got here and...I want to see an example if you don't mind..."

Makar flew and landed above Toon Link's head. "Yes, I want to see an example as well if that's alright with you!"

"Chris? Would you?" Master Hand asked as Chris sighed (in relief) and changed to his Musician job.

Medli blinked surprised. "Wow, you grew up!"

"...Master-sama, I want you to explain everything to them later, I don't want to explain something." Chris said with a bored look.

10 minutes later...

Chris, Popo, Nana, Jigglypuff and Sonic were behind the curtains, planning what to do for a song.

"Okay, let's see... I think this song should be enough to amaze the audience out there." Chris said handing some papers to Jigglypuff and Nana.

Sonic was fixing his electric guitar a little bit. "Yeah, let's rock on! This guitar wants to sound so hard right now!"

"Wow, he's pumped up already." Jigglypuff remarked.

Chris called an electric piano to make stylizing sounds. "Let's see again, are you okay with the arrangements?"

"So Nana and myself will sing this song?"

"Yes, Zelda wanted to stay out for this time."

"Ugh, I hope everything goes well..." Nana said.

"Wait, you asked Zelda? When?" Jigglypuff asked.

Chris made a bored look. "Hey, I do some things when nobody is looking...of course, they're not bad, so don't think sick things!"

"...You better say the truth." Nana said narrowing her eyes.

Popo made a solo with his drums. "Just how many instruments have you used before, Popo-san?" Chris asked.

"My brother does everything, heck, I don't even know what he does alone." Nana said sweatdropping.

"I play the drums, the trumpet, everything, just name it!" Popo said continuing on his solo, which was ACTUALLY really professional for someone like him.

"...Er...wow, so many here hide many things..." Chris wondered as the curtains opened, only Master Hand, Makar, Toon Link and Medli were sitting there on the chairs. "Um...hello everyone! We just came up with a song so...please enjoy it, Sonic, you start."

"Alright!" Sonic said lifting his right hand above him with a smirk, Chris prepared his fingers to play the electric piano and Popo stopped to go along, Nana and Jigglypuff were standing on the center with a microphone for both of them.

Persona 4 - Reach Out To The Truth -First Battle-

Master Hand began to hear the first beats of the music. "Hmm... Not bad..."

Chris looked to Sonic as he played his instrument. "Wow, Sonic keeps amazing me...or is it the room or my job that inspires them to do their part?"

Popo began to play once the song did 2 parts the same time again, it was beginning to get even enthusiastic over time as Nana and Jigglypuff prepared to sing.

Yeah, naked truuuth lies, only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla, warfare to keep it fair
Bro, change your rage to a smaaarter greater cause
You know the stake is high-star-dom is near

Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs do justice to them all

Now, I face out
I hold out

Seeking to seize, on the whole moment to nooow, breeeak awaaaay!

Oh God let me out
Can you let me out
Can you set me free from thiiiis dark inneeer world save me, now last beat in the soooouuuul...

Chris's jaw dropped surprisingly after hearing the lyrics coming out from both girls. "What the heck?! T-their voices changed drastically!"

"Oh yeah! They got the talent for this!" Sonic said ignoring the effects as he rocked on the stage with Popo.

Medli was meanwhile getting happy at such performance that she began to clap. "Oh! So this is how it's done then? It's so fun!"

"I just can't wait to perform on the stage!" Makar said trying to hold his urges to play the violin.

A Prinny happened to pass by the music room and stopped on his trails once he saw the made-up band. "Dood! They're playing another song, c'mere everyone, doooood!"

The room began to fill up by all the Prinnies as they all cheered loudly at the band like the last time, it was crowded before Master Hand knew it. "Man, don't these guys stop multiplying?" Master Hand asked suddering as he returned to watch the band.

"That's it, I want to be the master of ceremonies and conduct the music here!" Toon Link said taking out his Wind Waker.

They didn't notice that some of the Smashers woke up and stood by the door, the music got so far to almost all the mansion by this time.

"Prepare, we have the grand finale coming, so don't screw up or else!" Chris reminded them as they nodded and went to the second part.

Yeah, naked truuuth lies, only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla, warfare to keep it fair
Bro, change your rage to a smaaarter greater cause
You know the stake is high-star-dom is near

"The final part is coming, Sonic, prepare to do your thing!" Chris yelled as Sonic gave him a thumbs up with a grin.

"They do music in here?" Link asked.

"Yes, last time it was a beautiful music..." Zelda said remembering the last time she played on the stage.

"Now!" Chris yelled.

Persona 4 - Reach Out To The Truth -Instrumental Version-

Sonic grinned and began to change the sound of his guitar with style as the crowd cheered even louder than before that lights of different colors began to shoot everywhere at each sound his instrument made, even Chris and Popo began to play louder than before while the 2 girls waited to sing once again, for the last time.

"Yeah, rock music, about time." C. Falcon said grinning as he leaned to the wall.

"I kind of like calmer music, but I think it's fine." Pit said smiling a little (not noticing that his right foot began to tap slightly).

"Well, they do play good so..." Olimar trailed off.

"Shh, they're going to sing again!" Pikachu whispered angrily.

"We know!" Squirtle whispered angrily.

Yeah, naked truuuth lies, only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla, warfare to keep it fair
Bro, change your rage to a smaaarter greater cause
You know the stake is high-star-dom is near
Those who sympathized, you die killers pass by
Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs do justice to them all

Sonic began to jump and rocked on with style together with the others, the crowd continued to cheer nevertheless at the loud music that made them extremely pleased.

"Yes, yes! This is the true magic of the music room, just imagine all the tracks you'll make in here!" Master Hand said wiping out a tear. "It's...just so...amazing...sniff..."

"Yes... I can imagine such a thing..." Medli said as her eyes glittered.

"This is just too much! I DO want to make such plays all the time!" Makar said enthusiastically.

Chris blinked as he looked at the crowd that appeared out of nowhere, a small smile formed on his face. "Everything's working fine, keep on going, please!"

"Rock on!" Sonic yelled getting even wilder than before as the group smiled to each other (grinned in Sonic's case) as they reached the last part of the song.

"I've never used this kind of voice before, it's so good!" Jigglypuff yelled to Nana.

"Now let's see if Peach can beat us next time!" Nana said with an evily grin.

"...Oh god..." Chris muttered facepalming himself.

"YEEEEEEEEAAHHHHH!!!" Popo yelled crazily together with the crowd as he moved back and forth his head.

"You need to see a doctor, seriously and urgently!" Nana yelled angrily.

The group then reached the last part, the Prinnys began to cheer loudly as the lights came back on and applauded at the group who bowed politely at them, well, everyone except Sonic who made a sign peace, some of the Prinnys even held up signs with his name.

Music stops

"MORE, DOOD! MORE, DOOD! MORE, DOOD! MORE, DOOD!" The Prinnys yelled loudly with happy expressions as flowers began to be thrown at the stage, beginning to grow in a big pile of flowers.

"They love me... THEY LOVE ME!" Jigglypuff yelled loudly as she dove into the roses. "OWW!" Jigglypuff yelled in pain because she forgot the roses had thorns on them, her teamband even chuckled at this.

On a side note, Chris's Understanding went up.

Living Room

Some of the Smashers, along with the teamband, were enjoying a talk in the living room after the concert ended, a last Prinny help up a Nana's autograph in triumph as he walked away, humming happily.

Toon Link wasn't there because Master Hand told him to show Medli and Makar their rooms to stay in, even the hand had to go back to his room and take care of his brother...shocking, isn't it?

"You 5 were great out there, man, Sonic, I didn't know you rocked that hard before." C. Falcon said handshaking Sonic.

"Heh, just learn from the pro." Sonic said with a smirk and a nod.

"His ego just went up higher."
"(Won't he stop showing off?)"
"Was I good?"
"That was really fun."

"(Won't he stop showing off?)" Chris thought with a bored look.

"Was that music?" Ike asked. "The music I know was supposed to be more peaceful, you know, with girls singing an oath or something."

"Dude, you're far behind in the modern era, you need to keep on track of the last trends." Pikachu said.

"Otherwise everyone will make weird looks at you." Zelda said taking a sip of her tea.

"...Is that so? Well, hopefully I have Marth and Roy to show me that." Ike said crossing his arms.

"Good luck catching on."
"You're pretty far actually..."
"Ike is the modern man."
"Just...don't destroy machines."

"Just...don't destroy machines," Chris said with a worried look. "Zelda told me that you destroyed 2 computers when they sounded."

Ike sweatdropped. "Well, what I was supposed to do? They startled me!"

"Oh man..." Sonic said frowning as they heard the doorbell ringing.

"No! Don't go, that credit card guy could be still there!" Popo warned C. Falcon.

The captain just walked away. "Tsk, credit card guy, yeah sure, there isn't any company trying to sell anything in this weather anyway..."

As the captain left, Pikachu wondered why Popo called him Pikachu-san that Chris explained the details to the group.

Main Lobby

The doorbell kept ringing and ringing as C. Falcon walked even faster. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Geez, just give me time and open the door!" C. Falcon said with a frown as he opened the door. "Good, now, how can I...help...you..."

"Excuse me, but have you seen an old man in a purple coat, with a laidback and lazy attitude?"

C. Falcon's eyes widened after he saw, or thought when he saw the most sexiest person in the universe besides Samus, at least he thought, standing in front of the door.

"..." C. Falcon was left speechless.

It was Judith it you weren't wondering, the Krytia just smiled and tilted her head a little to the right as she put a finger on her chin. "Um...have you met somebody like him?"

"I-I-I-I-I-I..." C. Falcon was left speechless, staring at a certain part of Judith's body.

Of course, Judith liked to seduce people, just because she found it rather amusing instead of offensive.

"Hmm... You don't seem to remember, do you?" Judith asked.

"I... I do..." C. Falcon said gulping.

"Well..." Judith put her hands behind her back and got closer to the captain. "I'll be happy if you tell me where is Raven, I'm sure you know him well, right?"

"Y-yes..." C. Falcon said.

Toon Link's Room

"AAAAAH!!!" Raven got up (slammed his head on the bed since he was still resting below) and crawled out the bed in desperation. "Oh no, oh no, OH NO! Somebody, I know it, somebody revealed my location here, oh man, poor ol' me! I'm so dead in Rita's hands!"

"Hello?" Estelle's voice came from the hall and Raven did the unthinkable as he gulped worried.

"...Fine...a man should do the unthinkable to save his sorry butt..." Raven said with a serious face, turned his back, stared at the window and then...

CRASH!

He jumped out from the building by jumping outside, breaking the mirror in the process as he was heard screaming in pain as he landed outside, because he just jumped from the 5th floor.

"Hello?!" Estelle called out entering the room, where she found the window broken, the princess gasped in horror and ran to the window to stare down, but she found nothing, only snow with the image of Raven's body that it quickly got covered. "This is strange... I could've sworn I heard Raven screaming...but that image on the snow...no, I-I must be overreacting..." Estelle muttered to herself as she walked away with a depressed look.

Main Lobby

Moments before, Judith managed to hear a familiar scream from behind the mansion, then she smiled and stood up normally. "Well, I think I have to go now."

"W-wait!" C. Falcon grabbed her hand. "P-please, you mustn't stay out there in the cold, I mean, your skin is probably so delicated and could be ruined, you don't want that, right?"

Judith blushed a little, chuckled and got her hand back slowly. "Sorry, but I really need to go, so, good bye and thank you." Judith said waving to the captain as she walked away to the back of the mansion.

"...Dammit!" C. Falcon punched the wall. "I lost my chance to score with that hot girl an-"

"Hello there!" Chip appeared from above the wall and greeted C. Falcon. "Sorry for interrupting sir, but I-"

"WE DON'T ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!" C. Falcon yelled angrily as he...

SLAM!

...Slammed the door on Chip.

"Maybe I should wear a costume and get help out of them..." Chip wondered as he flew away.

Garden (frozen and covered in snow)

We see Raven still screaming in pain under the snow, it managed to spread out through the backside of the mansion that he woke up some of the Smashers.

"Would you please shut up, dangit?!" Wolf yelled from a floor as he stared down at the snow with a glare. "I'm trying to sleep in this horrible weather, for crying out loud!" Wolf spat out with a snarl as he slammed the door of the window and returned back to his bed.

...Though it was 1:48 PM by that time.

"...Hello, Raven..." Judith said staring down at the snow, the old man's head got out quickly and spat snow out.

"...Oh...hell no..." Raven muttered as he looked up to Judith...but after thinking things, it wasn't so bad to look at Judith from below as Raven blushed with a perverted chuckle. "Hi there, Judith, missed ol' me?"

Judith chuckled as she helped Raven. "C'mon, everyone's worried about you, we need to go back to Dahngrest an-"

Raven remembered something very important and dangerous...her, the genius mage... "NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA RETURN! I DON'T WANNA, DON'T MAKE ME JUDITH HONEY!"

SLAP!

"Oww!" Raven rubbed his cheek.

Judith chuckled heartily. "Please, even Rita's missing you, it's not the same without you."

Raven pouted a little, crossed his arms and turned his back to Judith. "No, no, no, I'm not gonna go back and get good ol' me killed by crazy girl Rita, no way, NOOOOOO WAY."

"But is she even going to do that?" Judith wondered out loud.

"Remember that she's still mad about the last time I saw her?"

"...Oh, right, now that I remember, she's been thinking ways to murder you during the night...slowly and painfully in her dreams, and she seemed to have fun saying that overused catchprase she uses frecuently to cast her spells very quickly."

Raven gulped as he began to sweat, despite the snow falling around them. "...No! Staying in this mansion has been the heaven I wanted to have, the guys there are the most incredible people to live with, instead of getting my freakin' (BEEP!) crushed by Rita's meteors!"

"Hey, Geno! What is an (beep!)?" Twink's voice was heard somewhere around the mansion as Geno's voice groaned out loud.

"Well, you do have a point there, she's very easy to get angry..." Judith said snapping her fingers. "I know, you can stay here a little more, but, it's not going to be late before she comes here by herself...then you're pretty much dead."

Raven made a bored look and looked at her. "You like to make my life miserable, don't ya?"

Judith chuckled heartily. "In a few words...probably."

Raven cried toon tears. "Oh, by ta way, Estelle's livin' inside and lookin' for me as well."

Judith looked at the mansion. "Oh, then she's here as well..."

"And that Karol kid came not long ago too, but I dunno where he went, probably in the forest over there."

Judith began to wonder. "I see...well, I'll better look for Karol then, I don't think he's fine all alone anyway and who knows, maybe I can find Repede around here as well...so, see you, if you see Estelle, then it's over, your game I mean." Judith said with a smile as she walked away to the forest and disappeared.

Raven blinked for a moment before he let out a depressed sigh. "Man...things aren't going to turn out good... I have that feeling..." Raven said as he walked inside from the back door.

Hallway

We see Chris walking all alone towards Wolf's room, apparently, he wanted to spend the time with the lupine, the World Traveler opened the door and entered inside.

Wolf's Room

Persona 4 - Who's There?

"Go away." Wolf said harshly on his bed.

"But I..." Chris stammered looking down.

Wolf took out his Blaster and aimed it at Chris's head.

But what was Chris going to do now?

Hold position.
Scream and run away.
Fight him.
Dude, he's aiming at your head, you love your life, don't you?

Chris gulped and held up his position, his Courage went up.

"Oh, you're planning to stay there then?" Wolf aske raising an eyebrow as he sat on his bed.

"Y-yes, I want to spend the time with you." Chris said gulping.

"Too bad though," Wolf put his claw in front of him. "You're just wishing to be dead."

The tension was rising all of a sudden...

What was Chris going to do now?

Hold the position, even if he seems threatening.
Run away.
Scream and fight him.
Try to reason with him.

...Chris gulped and held his position, his Courage went up again.

"...Hmph," Wolf grinned and crossed his arms. "You held your position even if I was threatening you, kid, I admit it...you do have guts to confront me."

Music stops

"Phew..." Chris sighed in relief.

"...However, I hate people who barge in and wake me up, I was awaken once but twice it's irritating...so...you know what am I going to do now?" Wolf asked smirking as he put his claw in front of him again.

"...Uh-oh..."

Sorry, we don't have many more options for you.

"(WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE OTHER OPTIONS?!)" Chris thought desperately as Wolf got closer to him with his smirk on his face.

"Before I slash you down," Wolf's smirk grew wider. "Come back here when I'm NOT sleeping, got it?"

"...Y-ye-"

Fox's Room

And Chris thus walked all the way to Fox's Room, several scars on his cheeks, his clothing a little bit ripped apart and his right eye black, very black to add to his badly beaten self.

THUD!

Chris just fainted above Fox's bed, the vulpine yawned out loud, got up with a bored look and stared down at Chris, who was laying close to him.

"...Let me guess, Wolf did this to you..." Fox said with a bored look as he yawned again.

"...Yeeeees..." Chris responded weakly as Fox sighed.

"Chris, the only way you'll get close to him is by being dead, nobody has ever befriended that bastard, not even Leon or Panther and never will for that matter." Fox explained crossing his arms.

"But I want to make a differenceeeeee..." Chris sobbed silently.

"...Then why did you come here?"

"Because you're the only person that knows Wolf very weeeeeell..."

Fox looked to another direction and frowned. "...Well... I don't have any tips so...sorry..."

"It's okaaaaay..."

"...Come on now," Fox patted Chris's back. "Cheer up, if that's what you want, just keep going."

"...Thank yooooouu..." Chris looked up (and Fox got surprised that his eye was very black). "That cheers me up when you say it, thank you...hey, is that medicine over there?" Chris asked pointing at a medicine close to Fox, above a table...for the eyes.

Fox blushed a little and closed his eyes with an annoyed expression. "...Let's just say I was actually sick in the eye and Diddy didn't do anything after all with his darn gun with peanu-" Fox began to hear chuckles coming from Chris and the vulpine grinned down at him. "...Don't make me punch you, I warn you."

Hold position.
Laugh at him and hold your position.
Laugh out loud and hold your position.

Chris held his position and broke out laughing, his Courage went up agai-

PUNCH!

Hallway

"You better listen to me next time or it'll be worse, got it?!" Fox yelled annoyed from his door as Chris walked out, now both of his eyes were black because of his actions as he slammed the door angrily.

Chris cried toon tears. "Now how am I going to get closer to that freaking wolf?!"

"Just give up on that!" Fox yelled.

"Oh, you shut u-" Chris remembered something important the moment he was going to finish that word and blocked his mouth in shock.

"You'll have to be careful with your mouth Chriiiiiiis... Or else they will hate yooooooouuuuuuu...." Kawashima's voice echoed in Chris's mind.

"...Professor, I know that didn't ring in my mind at all." Chris said with a frown as his pocket trembled a little.

"Oh, I'm bad at faking thoughts then..." Kawashima sighed. "Anyway, be careful Chris."

"What were you going to say?" Fox asked making an angry expression.

Chris could have sworn that some fists were being cracked and footsteps were heard coming from Fox's room...

Make a fast apology.
Beg for forgiveness.
Spend time with Fox.
Call Lucario and order him to kill Fox.
Number 1, 2 and 3 all together, after all, he can kick your sorry (beep!) anytime.

"I'M SO SORRY FOX-SENPAI!" Chris said bowing at the door quickly. "S-sorry for insulting you, and for everything, but please, I'm begging you, don't kill me, anything but the death it's fi-ine!!!"

Yoshi (wearing a fur coat by the weather) happened to be walking close, down the hall and looked down to Chris. "...Are you feeling well?"

"NO-OOOOOO!!!" Chris yelled as his face was on the floor.

"...Okay..." Yoshi said looking back at Chris as he walked away.

The judgement day came to Chris, the door in front of him opened up and he prepared to...

Say an apology again.
Hug Fox and cry.
Run away and scream.
Call him Fox-sensei instead.

"...Fox-senpai?" Fox asked confused as he looked down the World Traveler.

"U-um..." Chris cleared out his toon tears. "Y-yes, i-it addresses senior or mentor figures, yo-you're a senior and mentor, p-practically both things...SO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, FOX-SENPAI!"

"...But why would I?" Fox asked raising an eyebrow. "I'd never do such a thi-"

This time, Snake came walking down the hall and looked down at Chris is his somewhat embarrassing position. "Kid, have you gotten any dignity left in you?" Snake asked.

Chris looked back and forth between the soldier and the vulpine before he quickly stood up and coughed a little. "Er, sorry for being like that, I was feeling an emotional breakdown just now." Chris said trying to sound smart.

"Tsk, really, I even wonder myself "Is this kid even worth it?" many times." Snake said with a frown as Chris gasped a little.

"W-well... I..." Chris couldn't find the words that he...

Remain silent.
Find something else to argue back.
Wait for someone to do something for you.
Sob.

"Okay, that's enough," Fox said crossing his arms as he stepped up in front of Chris and Snake. "In my point of view, he's worth it, no, he's more than being worth it, you can't judge him after all, he likes to be that way with everyone here and I don't have any problems with his attitude."

"(...I can't believe how happy am I right now...)" Chris said with a relieved happy expression.

"Like a furry is going to tell me "its" opinion." Snake taunted as Chris could have sworn a red toon vein popped out from Fox' forehead.

"(...Uh-oh...)"

Fox made his right hand a fist and grinned at Snake. "Oh, so I'm an "it" and a "furry" for you?"

"Yeah, pretty much both things." Snake said harshly.

"F-Fox-senpai, please don't fight him." Chris said worried as Fox looked to him with a smile over his shoulder.

"Nah, I won't do that, besides, I don't feel like fighting against hi-" Fox was interrupted.

"The furry is a vagina-y then?" Snake muttered with a snicker.

"THAT'S IT!" Fox yelled furiously as he lunged at Snake and both began a fist fight in the hall, now, the only thing Chris could do, after watching Fox biting Snake's right hand while Snake elbowed Fox's neck was...

Stop them.
Cheer on Fox.
Cheer on Snake.
Better yet, call Pikachu and his camera.

"PIKACHU! HEY PIKACHU!" Chris yelled loudly. "COME OVER HERE, YOU HAVE TO RECORD THIS!"

Pikachu, conveniently, appeared from the hall (wearing a small red fur coat) and looked to Chris. "What is it?... Oh, alright! Senior men fighting each other!" Pikachu said taking out his camera. "Oh yes, this is so going to the internet! Chris, I need back-up, say something that'd raise epicness!"

"R-right!" Chris said nodding. "Oh my god! Snake did that move on Fox? Wow! Fox made a comeback!"

"Yes! Just like that!" Pikachu said chuckling as both watched the fist fight.

"Pss!" Kawashima called out. "Good job, it seems you managed to get Fox's partnership level to its maximum, and Snake's went a little up as well!"

"Shut up! I'm trying to watch this!" Chris yelled excited.

"...Oh dear..." Kawashima said sweatdropping.

Chris's Expression went up after this event.

Lucario's Room

After watching the fight (that was still going on), Chris decided to see Lucario and if he was awake, but when he got in the room, there was Lucario laughing together with Flonne.

"Did I...just walk into a private conversation?" Chris asked confused and both looked at him.

"Oh, sorry, but I must be going now, bye Lucario!" Flonne said laughing heartily as she walked away from the room.

"Lucario-san, did you were having a conversation with her?"

Lucario smiled a little and nodded. "Yes, she cheered me up when you were...you know..."

Chris looked down. "...I see... I have to thank her sometime."

"And did you use a foreign term now?"

Chris blinked surprised and looked at Lucario. "H-how did you know?"

"Pichu came here and called me Lucario-senpai, and I asked him why did he say that and explained everything about foreign terms so..." Lucario looked away as he blushed. "...D-do I have to call you Chris-sama?"

Chris blushed embarrassed. "N-no! Please, no! That also means master but I-I don't want to be called like that!"

"Then how about Chris-senpai?"

"...J-just call me Chris-san, please..."

Lucario looked down disappointed. "I see... I was looking forward to use the term -sama with you... But if that's what you want..."

"B-by the way Lucario..."

"Yes?" Lucario said looking up.

Chris changed to his Aura Apprentice job. "I want to have the aura training again and I was wondering if we could do it outside..."

Lucario blinked for some moments before he smiled a little. "Of course, you still haven't mastered the Aura Sphere, I'll be glad to teach you agai-"

Chris quickly hugged Lucario. "Thank you, Lucario! I want to do something productive after Wolf and Fox punched me toda-"

Lucario started to growl menacingly. "...They did what to you?!"

Chris noticed that Lucario's aura was covering his whole body. "N-nothing! P-please, forget about that and let's go outside, ASAP if it is possible!"

"GRRRRRRRRR!!!"

Cry.
Remind him about his rage problems.
Hug him tightlier.
You're not going to get back at those 2?

"Lucario!" Chris stopped hugging Lucario and looked worried to him. "I-I can't believe your rage is..."

Lucario gasped and his aura disappeared. "...Sorry...please forgive me..."

"..." Chris rubbed Lucario's head a little and the Aura Pokémon growled happily. "...It's okay... Someday you'll control it, I know that..."

"...Thanks..." Lucario muttered.

[DededeCloneChris]

Outside

Persona 4 - New Days

The weather was peaceful as both aura holders were meditating above rocks, above the snow, Chris had to wear something warm but Lucario could resist the cold very well by himself, both of them were glowing with aura energy.

A time passed after a while before Lucario stood up. "Congratulations."

Chris opened his eyes and looked at him. "I-I did it?"

Lucario shook his head. "No, you completed the meditation, but now you need to hone your attacks as well, wait here please." Lucario said walking away to the young Smashers, they were playing the Extreme Snowball Fight that they mentioned yesterday.

"...I don't like where this is going..." Chris muttered worried.

10 minutes later...

There was huge pyramid of snowballs in front of Chris, who was standing various meters away from Ness, Lucas, Popo, Nana, Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff, while Kirby was sitting on the top. "...Lucario, I don't like where you want me to get at..."

Lucario was standing besides Chris with crossed arms. "Be prepared, I told them to shoot all the snowballs you see there, you have to use Force Palm on every snowball, be careful, you must concentrate your aura even stronger because they could put some kind of extra attribute on them."

"W-what kind of extra attribute is that?" Chris asked as Ness threw a snowball in the air and used PK Thunder on it, it went down with electricity and it got in pieces once it collided with the ground. "...O-oh...that..."

"Begin." Lucario stated with a nod.

"W-wait!" Chris yelled as all the young Smashers began to shoot the snowballs at him, either Ness or Lucas infused their snowballs with electricity or Popo or Nana would put an ice shard on their snowballs, Jigglypuff and Kirby were the only ones who didn't add any effect to the snowballs while Pikachu and Pichu gave more electricity than both PK kids.

Chris noticed that the speed was going up after every second and he began to sweat, slamming all the snowballs he could hit.

"Chris, you're getting hit by almost all of them." Lucario said as Chris was shown running everywhere.

"H-how am I suppose to hit all of them in time?! I don't know Extremespeed like you d-OWW!" Chris was hit by an electrocuted snowball from Pikachu.

"Hey, we around here don't like pussies, act like one and be killed." Pikachu warned Chris with a smirk.

"S-shut up you! OWW! They're all ganging up on me!" Chris yelled.

"Resist all of them, endure the hits and destroy the snowballs." Lucario said simply.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Chris yelled loudly in utter annoyance.

Main Lobby

Various hours later...

It was hell for Chris, he couldn't enjoy this day at the fullest and now, he was partially attacked all the time, even Lucario didn't help as his trainer was all bruised.

"Well, we end the training for today, congratulations, if you keep on like this, it's not going to be late before you learn how to use Aura Sphere." Lucario said.

"It's easier said than done..." Chris said crying toon tears. "...I can't believe it's already evening, isn't there anything interesting to do here?"

Lucario looked away. "...Don't tell anyone but... I heard many are going to a bar from Flonne tonight so..."

"...Wait, hold on there, HOLD ON THERE..." Chris said shocked. "There's a bar in here?!"

"A-apparently so..." Lucario said closing his eyes.

Chris wasn't the kind of people who liked drunk people, he hated drunk people so much that he wished that they should be dead with shame upon drinking that horrible water.

"Oh no, no! I'm not going to let everyone here get drunk, let alone Lucas!... The bar doesn't accept kids, right?"

"It's open for all the public..." Lucario pointed out.

"...Lucario, get prepared, I'm going to do justice around here and close that pointless, worthless place, once and for all!"

"Chris, you just knew about the place and you're saying once and for all?" Lucario questioned as Chris walked away with him.

"Sorry, but I hate that kind of people and you know it!"

"Yes, I know that very well."

Bar

Persona 4 - Persona 3 FES Opening

It was the bar, just as Chris thought it would look like, it was big, long enough to hold all the Smashers, mostly everyone was there drinking but oddly enough, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, in fact, everyone was sober and nobody was drunk.

"Just as I thought, music that I remember from a game, looks like it's a little dark, red couches around with tables and drinks, yes, this is a bar!" Chris said angrily as he walked inside.

"...Should I go with him?" Lucario asked to himself, looking around. "...Flonne-chan wanted to see me in her room so...he'll be fine, nobody will attack him here." Lucario said as he walked away.

"Hey there!" Roy called from a table. "Chris-san, what are you doing here?"

The fad about the foreign terms spreaded around that now everyone knew about it.

"I'm here to stop everyone here from drinking alcohol!" Chris stated as Roy laughed heartily.

"Relax, nobody's drinking alcohol, in fact, these are just normal drinks as sodas or juice." Roy explained giving Chris what looked to be a normal-looking juice.

Chris drank the juice and he thought for a second. "Hmm...well, it is juice..."

"Come on, sit here and enjoy the music." Roy said as Chris sat besides him.

"It's just weird...why is this a bar even if there isn't any beer?"

"Because we don't want to remember what happened last time." Marth said appearing, holding a can of soda.

"What happened the last time?" Chris asked curiously.

"C. Falcon poured beer in all the drinks, even the juice and everyone went nuts after that, there was an o(beep!) in here so..n-nevermind that, forget that please." Roy explained, blushing embarrassed.

"Yes, I expected that from him."
"That bastard must die in oblivion...wait, an o(beep!)?!"
"Really?"
"Oh god..."

"Oh god..." Chris said frowning.

"Luckily, Master Hand banned the beer from here so, there's nothing to worry about." Marth said reassuring Chris.

"Thank goodness, I hate drunk people so much."

Link came from another part and chuckled. "Yeah, we don't want that happening again...oh yes, don't think I love beer, I hate it ever since that o-"

"Dude, we don't want to remember that, stop it!" Roy said shocked.

"Hey guys..." Ike came behind Marth. "This is a party? I thought they were much...peaceful than this."

Roy stood up. "You'll get used to this, it's fun because the music, the talks, th-"

It was not long before Popo appeared behind the couch and yelled loudly: "KING'S GAAAAAAMEEEEEE!!! EVERYONE, GATHER UP AND LET'S PLAY A GAME!"

C. Falcon came from somewhere and grinned. "Oh yeah! Let's play the King's Game! EVERYONE SIT IN THIS COUCH AND LET'S PLAY!!!"

"..." Chris made a confused look. "Are Popo-san and C. Falcon-senpai drunk?"

Marth blinked confused. "...But I thought the beers wer-"

"C'MON EVERYONE! LET'S PLAY!" Popo yelled loudly as everyone looked to each other confused.

10 minutes later...

In order from left to right, Chris, Marth, Roy, Ike, Link, Zelda, Popo, Nana, Toon Link (left Medli and Makar int the music room), Pikachu, Pichu, Fox, Yoshi, Sonic, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Red, Squirtle, Ivysaur (surprisingly), DK, Diddy Kong, Olimar, Ness, Lucas, C. Falcon, Wolf, Pit, Mallow and surprisingly Snake were sitting in a circle-shaped couch, most of them were wondering what was the King's Game.

"Here!" Popo proclaimed as he came to the table on the center, putting down a cup with 30 chopsticks. "Now we can begin the's game!" Popo said stupidly due to his drunkness.

"...What is the King's Game?" Pit asked.

"Okay, see the chopsticks?" C. Falcon asked hiccuping. "The chopsticks have numbers on 'em, but one of them is red, if anybody here gets the chopstick with the red color, that person will be the King."

"And that King needs to give crazy orders to the ones holding the numbers, it must be crazy and there're no turning back for the one that the King orders to do!" Popo said chuckling stupidly. "But which person has which number is a secret until the King gives the orders, heheheheheheheh, he needs to give orders to the person with the same number he or she mentions!"

Lucas's jaw dropped a little. "I-i-is it that kind of game?"

"C'mon! Everyone draw!" Popo yelled grabbing a chopstick, everyone looked worried to each other and wondered why did they agree to play.

After a while, they all sat back.

"Okay, so...who's the King?!" C. Falcon asked and Diddy Kong got up.

And we forgot to mention, Diddy was drunk as well.

"Diddy's is red, REEEEED!!! Is Diddy the King?!" Diddy asked excited as DK blinked surprised at his overly happy behavior.

"We're doomed, somehow, I know we're doomed..." Fox said frowning.

"I! The King! Command thee to smooch me without delay!" Diddy yelled as everyone got shocked expressions. "Smoooooooooooch Diddy!"

"W-wait, smooch?!" Nana asked horrified.

"Please ape god, grant me Zelda-chan!" Diddy hopped as the princess hid behind Link, however, something was odd with Link as well... "Numbeeeeer 6!"

"DAAAAAH!" Squirtle jumped shocked once he remembered that he was number 6.

Diddy looked at the turtle and gasped. "...I meant number 18!" Diddy said shocked.

"Hey, you already said there's no turning back!" Red yelled pointing an accusing finger to Popo, who hiccuped as a response.

"Smooch! Smoooooooch!" Jigglypuff (also drunk as well) said waving her hands above her, Squirtle looked freaked out as Diddy stared at him.

"Oh, Squirtle-kun! So you were after my furry fur!" Diddy said making a childish smile, which caused Squirtle to back off scared. "Oooookaaaaayyy... But this is my first time... Beeee gentleeeeee!"

"W-wait!" Squirtle tried to get away from Diddy, but the chimpanzee moved his fingers weirdly and lunged at Squirtle, both of them went behind the couch and some of them looked behind.

"SQUIRTLE!" Red yelled worried as C. Falcon prevent him from calling his Pokémon.

"Aaaah! Quit that! DON'T MAKE ME KILL YOU, DAMMIT!" Squirtle yelled from behind the couch they were sitting on. "AAAAH!!! NOOOOO!!! HEEEEELP!"

There was a long and passionate smooch which made everyone gulp in horror.

"...There goes one of my Pokémon..." Red said sadly as Ivysaur patted his back with his vine.

"Aren't you his uncle?" Olimar asked sweating to DK.

"Um... I...rather not stop Diddy right now..." DK said shifting his eyes.

"(Please, PLEASE, I don't want to do something that daring!)" Chris pleaded in his mind.

Snake was shown snickering a little. "Heh, this is getting fun all of a sudden."

"H-how could you be enjoying this blasphemy?" Zelda asked.

"Hey, people have something to be interested in, live with it." Snake said taking out a cigar that he lighted up.

"Ohooooo! Only the first round and the 2 of 'em dropped out already!" Jigglypuff said hiccuping.

"W-wait, what do you mean first round?" Pichu asked.

"You don't know? The next King will be choosen once the last one made his dare, it's time for the next King to take the throne." C. Falcon explained.

"On to round 2!" Popo proclaimed happily as everyone decided to change their chopsticks, then they picked a different one this time.

Chris picked the last one, and it was red, meaning that he was the new King for his diismay.

"Who's the King?!" C. Falcon asked drunkily.

Chris raised his hand as he gulped, which made Pikachu sigh in relief. "Phew, finally someone who's not sick of the mind, no crazy orders this time." Pikachu said.

C. Falcon waved a finger. "That's not how it goes! If the last King demanded a smooch, the next dare gotta be even more extreme!"

"Pikachuuuuuu-kun, don't be such a party pooper, heheheheh, hic!" Jigglypuff said.

Mostly everyone got shocked looks except for some who were drunk.

"...Now I'm so worried..." Chris said looking at everyone.

"Link-san...are you feeling well?" Marth asked tapping Link's shoulder.

"...Hey, Link-san is acting a little weird." Roy said.

"I'm not acting weird..." Link said.

"Fortunately Link told me that he never drinks beer, right Link?"

"Yeah...right...hic!"

"...Oh my god..." Chris said astonished.

"Kiiiiing!" Popo called out. "You have to make the orders now, or we'll decide for you!"

"I-" Chris was interrupted.

"Oh! I know! The King should order the first one to rest his or head on his lap!" Popo said and everyone gasped.

"Oh, oh! I know a better one! The 2nd one should sit on his lap!" C. Falcon suggested.

"Oh! Or the 3rd should have to hug him!"

"Even better than that! The 4th one should have a piggyback ride!"

"The 5th should have his or her stomach rubbed by the King's fingers, slowly!"

"The 6th should hug completely the King with a kiss!"

"The 7th should sleep with the King!"

"The 8th should swap foods with the King...using the mouth!"

"The 9th should swap clothes with the King!"

"The 10th should rub his or her cheek with the King's!"

"The 11th should let his or her hair be combed by the King!"

"The 12th should say something very gay to the King!"

"The 13th should say something very embarrassing to the King!"

"The 14th should lick the King's face!"

"The 15th should slap the King's butt!"

"The 16th should be the King's chair!"

"The 17th should be the King's bed then!"

"The 18th should act like a baby in the King's lap!"

"The 19th should eat the King's saliva!"

"NOOOO!!!" Chris yelled once he realized all the dares that Popo and C. Falcon chose for him. "I DON'T WANT TO DO THOSE DARES! NEVER!"

Most of them nodded quickly in fear, however, at this point there were many drunk people for some reason...

"Nope!" Popo said with a dumb smile. "You need to do it, sorry but you didn't say anything!"

"...Oh no..." Chris muttered gulping.

"C'mon King! Who's gonna do what?!" C. Falcon asked as Chris remembered all the 19 dares...

"Number 1 shall rest on my lap."
"Number 2 shall sit on my lap."
"Number 3 shall hug me."
"Number 4 shall get a piggyback ride."
"Number 5 shall get his stomach rubbed by me."
"Number 6 shall get a complete hug with a kiss."
"Number 7 shall sleep with me."
"Number 8 shall swap foods using the mouth."
"Number 9 shall swap clothes with me."

"Number 15 shall slap my butt."
"Number 16 shall be my chair."
"Number 17 shall be my bed."
"Number 18 shall act like a baby on my lap."
"Number 19 shall eat my saliva."

"...H-here goes nothing..." Chris said gulping as he...

We know you want to see all the dares, so, you shall see all of them.

"Number 1 shall rest on my lap." Chris said as Jigglypuff blinked in happiness.

"YEEES! I'M NUMBER 1!!!" Jigglypuff yelled happily as she quickly flew to Chris and rested her head on his lap.

"J-Jiggly-chan?!" Chris asked shocked.

Jigglypuff giggled. "Hehehehe! Chris-san's lap feels really warm, it's so nice..." Jigglypuff said resting on Chris's lap, muttering the last part in relief.

Chris could only blush in embarrasment, but his Diligence went up...

However, let's see what should've happened if he chose the other options.

"Number 2 shall sit on my lap." Chris said as Nana gulped.

"N-number 2?! W-why it has to be me?!" Nana asked blushing embarrassed.

"The King's orders is..." C. Falcon trailed with a wink to Link, who nodded with a dumb smile.

"Absolute! Hahahahaha!" Link laughed crazily as the Smashers gave him odd stares.

"...I hate you, I hate all of you! I HATE EVERY DRUNK PERSON IN HERE!" Nana yelled angrily as she walked up to Chris and both stared at each other, the pink parka girl gulped embarrassed and sat on his lap, but she didn't sit closer to the World Traveler, who was blushing embarrassed as well.

"C'mon! You gotta sit closer up!" Popo said giving a wink.

"P-Popo, shut up and be quiet!" Nana yelled and she looked down embarrassed.

"...This is scarring for life, isn't it?" Chris asked with a bored look.

"It is..." Nana said as both sighed disappointed.

Chris felt that the partnership between him and Nana went up...

But what could have happened if he chose a different one?

"Number 3 shall hug me." Chris said, realizing what he just said was stupid as DK looked at his number.

"3?! Why it has to be me?!" DK asked.

"Go DK-senpai...go..." Diddy muttered behind the couch as the ape sighed, went to Chris and...gave him a big hug.

"...Please, don't think bad of me." DK whispered crying toon tears.

"As weird as this sounds while you, a gorilla, is hugging me, don't worry, I'm going to kill Popo-san and C. Falcon-senapi later." Chris said crying toon tears with DK.

"Heh." Snake and Wolf snickered at this part.

The parnertship level between Chris and DK went up that day...

...Or not.

"Number 4 shall get a piggyback ride...a piggyback ride?!" Chris repeated confused as Pikachu got up.

"A-a piggyback ride?! C-can't I just ride on his shoulder?!" Pikachu asked.

"Nope!" Popo and C. Falcon said quickly.

Pikachu sighed as he and Chris got in front of the group and the World Traveler carried Pikachu behind his head, it looked kind of cute because Pikachu tried not to fall from that he had to put down his hands on his forehead.

Pikachu sweatdropped as some of them snickered. "...You had enough right, Chris?"

"U-um..." Chris was utterly embarrassed at this moment while he was looking down.

"Please, show some mercy to me!" Pikachu pleaded.

Their partnership level went up that day...

...Probably.

"Number 5 shall get his stomach rubbed by me...oh no, I don't want to do that!" Chris protested. "(Please, let it be Kirby-san, let it be Kirby-san for god's sake!)"

Falco looked at Fox's number. "...Hey, Fox, your number is 5, right?"

Chris saw the opportunity to protest together with Fox, fortunately, both would agree not to that. "Fox-senapi! Please, you know you don't want to do this, we both agree, right?!... Right, Fox-senpai?! Fox-senpai! Are you even listening?!"

"Something's not right with Fox..." Falco said as he looked that Fox was looking down. "Fox?"

"...Hic?" Fox responded looking up, and they were there on his face for Chris's dismay, the blushes that pointed out the drunkness he was in. "...Yeeees... I'm number 5..."

"...Please, no, please, no! I don't want t-" Chris was interrupted as Fox was already resting his head on his lap, staring directly at Chris. "Ack!"

"Oh, we forgot to mention, you have to rub his abs directly!" C. Falcon added as Wolf couldn't help it but let out a small laugh to the roof.

"Ha, now I have something to annoy Fox with, kid, do it now." Wolf said with a smirk.

"I-I don't want to!" Chris kept protesting as he looked down to Fox, who was, for his dismay, taking out his vest.

"Don't worry, Chris..." Fox said with a wink, his eyes at the point to be closed. "I have abs on my stomach."

"...Dammit! I didn't want to find out that in this way, and neither wanted to do it in the first place!" Chris yelled angrily, blushing. "Somebody help me!"

"I'll do it!" Popo said grabbing Chris's right hand and pulled it closer to Fox's stomach.

"Y-you littl-" Chris stopped when he felt something on Fox's fur...

"Now you know?... Chris-kun?" Fox asked with another wink.

Not only Chris found out that Fox had abs, but he found it the wrong way!

Dude, you're sick!

"YEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

His Courage went up really high...

...Fortunately, that didn't happen.

"Number 6 shall get a complete hug with a kiss... Popo-san, you can stop there, Popo-sa-!" Chris was now being kissed by Popo.

That didn't increase his Courage at all, rather his Horror went up...

"Number 7 shall sleep with me..." Chris trailed off, wondering what he needed to do.

"I'm numbah 7!" C. Falcon stated happily.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"Why he has to suffer this humiliation?" Zelda asked.

"Because, Zelda-chan, my dea-" Link was punched by Zelda once he wrapped up his arm around her neck.

Next event that could have happened.

"Number 8 shall swap foods using the mouth...who's number 8 again?" Chris asked as Kirby raised his hand. "...Well, I think he wouldn't do that..."

Much for his dismay however...

"Hic!" Kirby responded.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

His Courage went up.

Next event.

"Number 9 shall swap clothes with me, well, at least it's not that bad." Chris said sighing in relief.

"Er... I'm number 9?" Sonic asked confused.

"That means Chris-kun needs to get naaaaaakeeeeeed!" Link yelled laughing with the other drunks.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

His Dignity just went down in so many levels...

Next event.

"Number 10 shall get his or her cheek rubbed." Chris said as Olimar's eyes opened in shock.

"Olimar-kun, you cheater! Take off the helmet!" C. Falcon said angrily.

"N-no! I can't take my helmet off! It's bad for m-" Olimar protested but C. Falcon quickly took it off. "Oof! I-I...can't...breath...give it...back to me...please..."

"Oh Arceus-sama, Olimar-san is getting asphyxiated!" Ivysaur said shocked.

"Hmm?" Popo grinned. "You don't mean (beep!)phyxiated?" Popo asked cracking up together with Link.

...And Olimar died...

"...Olimar-senpai?!" Chris noticed that Olimar wasn't moving. "OLIMAAAAAAAR!"

"Dude, chill out, he's just resting." Fox said (drunk if you forgot).

"Shut up, you stupid drunk!" Chris yelled crying on Olimar. "...Olimar-senpai..."

His Expression went up...how could his Expression go up again?

Next event.

"Number 11 shall get the hair combed." Chris said as Link gave him a comb.

"Did I mention you have to comb every single hair?" Popo asked with a chuckle.

"...That isn't so b-" Chris noticed that Link's hands were going to his tights. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

His Courage went up, ironically if you know why.

Next event.

"Number 12 shall say something very gay." Chris said as Marth groaned.

"Nancy boy is going to say something very gay? Finally!" Link said cracking up with Jigglypuff as Marth muttered curses.

"Marth-senpai, you don't have to do it! Don't do it!" Chris pleaded but Marth looked away.

"...I'm sorry, but by the rules of Altea, if someone of my heritage accepts a dare, he or she needs to complete it in order to prove the loyalty...so..." Marth gulped. "...I once thought Ike looked sexy."

That was enough for everyone, without exception (well, Chris was an exception who had his jaw dropped), to crack up...

"Please, tell me that was a lie..." Chris said with wide eyes.

"...It is..." Marth whispered embarrassed.

"...What is the word sexy again?" Ike asked confused as Chris facepalmed.

His Understanding went up.

Next event.

"Number 13 shall say something very embarrassing." Chris said.

"..." Red looked down. "I once kissed my rival by accident in kindergarden..."

The drunks cracked up like never before as Ivysaur glared at them.

"..." Chris sighed disappointed.

Next event.

"Number 14 shall lick my face." Chris said as his eyes widened.

"...Number 14?!" Wolf said his number out loud.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

His Courage went up again...

Next event.

"Number 15 shall slap my butt...what?!" Chris asked in shock as C. Falcon pulled him out from the couch.

"I-I don't want to do it! Stop!" Zelda yelled as she was being dragged by Popo, Link and Fox, once the trio managed to grab her hand she...

SLAP!

"OWW!" Chris moaned in pain.

"S-sorry! I didn't want t-oh, the hell with this! DIE!" Zelda yelled using Din's Fire to burn the bar...

Everyone screamed in pain as the fire increased in size and covered the whole mansion under the snow...

Next event.

"Number 16 shall be my chair." Chris said confused.

"In other words, you have to sit on someone's lap!" Popo said.

"Then who is it?"

"...Me?" Pit asked confused as Link quickly grabbed Chris and put him in Pit's lap. "G-get off me, please!"

"I-I can't! Popo-san put some kind of glue in my butt!" Chris said struggling to get out from Pit's lap.

Popo threw the glue away. "This, is going to the album!" Popo said giggling as he took a photo of the 2 with embarrassed looks, trying to get off from each other.

"Heh, (beep!) like this makes my day." Snake and Wolf said snickering.

Next event.

"Number 17 shall be my bed...this isn't going well..." Chris said.

"Who's gonna be the bed?" Link asked as Falco's eyes widened.

"...Oh cra-" Falco was crushed by Chris because both Link and C. Falcon threw him at the avian, both of them went crashing in the floor until Chris lost his consciousness above the unconscious pilot, both of them had swirls in their eyes.

"My dignity...my dignity is being crushed..." Chris managed to say as the drunks cracked up.

"...How ironic..." Falco managed to say.

Next event.

"Number 18 shall act like a baby on my lap." Chris said.

Yoshi looked at his number. "W-what?! H-hell no! I like babies, but I don't want to act like one!"

"Hmph," Snake said as he stood up, grabbed Yoshi and threw him at Chris's lap, the World Traveler was almost going to fall but was able to hold his position. "Now do your part."

"W-what th-Snake-senpai! Why'd you do that for?!" Chris asked.

"Because, this is something that I want to see personally."

Yoshi crossed his arms. "I refuse to do that though!"

"Here, some onions." Popo said scratching some onions under Yoshi's nose, the Yoshi began to sniff as soon as the odor went to his eyes and his nose began to run as well.

"Sniff...stop it guys...sniff..." Yoshi said clearing his tears.

The World Traveler couldn't help it but rubbed Yoshi's head.

"H-hey!"

"S-sorry, b-but you looked cute to me!" Chris protested.

His Expression went up.

Next event.

"Number 19 shall eat...my saliva?!" Chris said shocked.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, you shall eat the saliva of your next person!" Popo said as Mallow giggled, he was also drunk as well.

"Oh yeah, you're going to like this." Mallow said gathering something in his mouth as he went closer to Chris.

"N-no! Please! Stop! I beg of you Mallow-san! You don't want to do this!... LET ME GO!" Chris yelled trying to get away from Link and C. Falcon, who grabbed him by the arms. "SOMEBODY ELSE, HELP ME!"

"Get closer or else..." Popo aimed them with a gun. "...You die..."

"W-where in the hell did you get that gun from?!" Toon Link asked.

"MOMMY!" Lucas yelled crying as Popo aimed the gun at his face.

"P-POPO! STOP IT!" Nana yelled terrified with the others.

"I'M DAH MAN, DAH MAN, YOU (BEEP!)!" Popo proclaimed as Chris was shown screaming from the cloud prince, Mallow was now ready to do his action...

...But...

"Stop, that is enough," Meta Knight appeared from nowhere and slashed the gun, cutting it by half. "The bar is closed for today."

"Awwwwww!!!" C. Falcon, Link, Popo, Fox, Jigglypuff, Kirby and Mallow groaned.

"Stupid, party pooper..." Snake and Wolf muttered with glares at the knight.

"Also, I'd like to know why are you 6 drunk as well, no alcohol has been served here ever since when I came and took the bar under my care." Meta Knight said.

"W-wait, you were serving the drinks then?" Chris asked and Meta Knight nodded. "Why didn't you do something to stop these sickos?!"

"Because I thought no one would go this far and make you suffer in this pointless game, and it turns out they did."

Ness sighed in relief. "Thank Onett, that was insane..."

"...Then how did these get drunk in the first place?" Toon Link asked as the drunks had weird looks before they fainted in unison, falling on the table as well.

"I assume they were drunk just because of the atmosphere." Meta Knight pointed out.

"...We were drunk off from the atmosphere?" Lucas asked confused. "I-is that possible?"

"It appears so," Meta Knight said. "Now, everyone must go back to sleep, the bar is closed for today, or else I'll report this to Master Hand."

"Dang it!" Etna appeared from the hallway, snapping her fingers. "I wanted to have some fun in here, good thing I'm leaving this place tomorrow!" Etna said cursing as she went away.

Everyone decided to go to sleep for the night as Chris sighed in relief, he noticed that he and Meta Knight were the only ones in the bar, the drunks have to be carried by some of the Smashers.

"...Idiots," Meta Knight began. "The bar doesn't have an hour to close."

"What?" Chris asked. "So why did you say the bar closed?"

"You were suffering a horrible humiliation." Meta Knight said looking away.

"...Meta Knight-senpai, you did this for me?"

"...To be sincere, yes," Meta Knight said looking at him. "It's not fair for you to drink someone's disgusting liquid just because some drunks told you to do it."

"...Thank you, Meta Knight-sensei." Chris said wiping out a tear.

Meta Knight let out a small chuckle. "Thank you for calling me your "sensei," and since we're the only ones left here, I'd like to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"I'd like to train with you someday using our swords, of course, none of us is going to get injured."

"T-train with our swords? B-but I have 3 jobs with swords involved..."

"The job with the small creature."

"...The Moogle Knight job?"

"Yes, I noticed that once you transform, you gain wings and your height and weight lets you attack faster, I could also add that it almost reaches my skills as well," Meta Knight pointed out. "I'll be glad to fight alonside you while you use that form."

"...Hmm...fine, if that's what you want, I'll do it." Chris said with a nod.

"Very well then, now go and sleep, tomorrow is going to be a new day and fortunately, everyone is going to be sober than this awful night." Meta Knight said walking away.

"...Meta Knight-sensei, you really worry about me, don't you?" Chris asked to himself.

"Yes." A familiar voice echoed in the hall as Chris chuckled heartily to himself.

[makuta]

NO.

[DededeCloneChris]

Lucario's Room

Music stops

"And Mallow-san wanted to giv-"

"Chris-san, stop it, I can't sleep..." Lucario muttered as Chris sighed, he told Lucario everything that happened during the day, both of them were lying down on the bed but Lucario wanted to sleep.

"And it turns out I suffered instead of enjoying the day, to make matters worse, I couldn't play outside in the snow!" Chris complained as he looked outside. "...I wanted to play outside..." Chris muttered sadly.

Lucario's ears perked up after he heard someone sobbing close to him...

"...Chris-san? Are you sobbing?"

"...Lucario-san..." Chris sobbed silently.

Lucario pulled Chris closer to him under his right arm. "Please, don't cry Chris-san, everyone has their bad day and this day happened to b-"

"I don't care Lucario-san... I want to have fun...but I couldn't get it..."

"..." Lucario looked outside, it was night and everyone was probably sleeping, it was cold outside for Lucario's misfortune. "...Chris-san...do you want to... I don't know...make a snowman outside...with me?"

Chris cleared his tears and looked up to Lucario. "W-what?"

Lucario blushed and looked away. "...If you want, we could make a snowman to make you feel better, I-I mean, you're looking depressed and we could do that..."

"...I don't know..." Chris said.

Lucario was thinking what to do now...

Be stubborn.
Agree with him.
Sleep.
Make the snowman anyway.

"No, we're going outside," Lucario said jumping out of the bed. "Put on a sweater and let's go outside."

"...Okay..." Chris muttered worried.

Lucario's Expression went up.

Garden

Snowman

"At first, I was against the idea, but now..." Chris smiled and closed his eyes. "This makes up for all the trouble I went through today! Thank you, Lucario-san, you know how to make me happy."

Lucario blushed and wagged his tail a little. "I'm glad you're happy, that is good for me to know."

Just then, Lucas came out from the mansion and walked to the duo. "H-hello you guys..." Lucas said.

"Lucas-san? What are you doing here so late?" Chris asked.

"W-well, I could ask you the same thing..." Lucas trailed as Chris looked away. "I-I was wondering if I could help you with the snowman, I saw you 2 from the window of the living room and it looked fun so I put my sweater and my scarf on..."

Snow fell on Chris, since the snowman was 2 times Lucario's size and snow began to fall out from its head. "Y-yes, we could use your help, achoo!"

Lucas smiled a little and picked up snow. "T-thank you! I was kind of disappointed for today's snowball fight, I ended up being hurt and nothing else but I wonder how can Ness-san and Pikachu-san resist so much..."

"Less talk, more snow." Lucario said as Chris chuckled awkwardly. "Why are you laughing?"

"Lucario-san, that was unexpected coming from you." Chris said.

"W-well...blame me, I was trying to cheer you up."

"Lucario-san!" Chris ran to Lucario and hugged him. "Thank you, I knew you were trying to make me feel happy again, I couldn't ask for more!"

Lucario made a happy expression and growled happily. "(It worked...)" Lucario thought happily as they continued to make the snowman.

It was not long before Toon Link and Kirby joined them, apparently they looked outside the window (Toon Link wondered why was his window broken) and found them making the snowman.

"It's getting bigger." Kirby pointed out.

"Yep, it is," Toon Link said as he took out a bucket. "Now we just need to put this on...but we need someone to fly up there."

"I'll do it!" Kirby said taking the bucket as he flew to the top, he carefully put the bucket on he head and descended just above Chris's head, the 5 looked up the snowman they just made and smiled to each other.

"Dunno why, but this looks good." Toon Link said rubbing his chin.

"It has been a long time ever since I made my last snowman in my house." Chris said.

"We couldn't do it during Christmas if I remember." Lucario recalled.

Chris looked up in the sky. "I hope it keeps snowing, we could make a bigger snowman tomorrow if we have enough time."

"Yeah, we could use with our arrows," Toon Link said taking out his bow. "That reminds me, I met a girl inside the mansion, I didn't know why was she there in a room, she was looking for Raven but I refused to tell her that I knew him."

"...A girl?" Kirby asked.

"Yes, the same girl from yesterday when you were EATING in the kitchen!"

"Guys, let's appreciate the snowman!" Flonne said joining her hands together.

"...Where did you appear from?" The 5 asked confused as Flonne laughed heartily.

However, 2 shadowy figures were spying the figures far away in the clouds, one looked like a big and enormous cloud, the other figure looked like a king of a frozen palace, the figures chuckled to themselves.

"Oh, so the kid wants the snow to keep going?" The king asked.

"Great for him, because that's the plan." The cloud said.

"They shall suffer the horrible and intolerating power of the ice, forever!"

"Grrrrrrr..." Lucario grunted at the sky.

"Lucario-san, what is it?" Chris asked.

"...I think there were people spying us from above just now." Lucario said.

"...From above?" Flonne asked looking at the sky. "But it's just the clouds."

"Maybe I was wrong?"

"Who cares, let's go to sleep." Toon Link as the 6 returned back to the mansion, not noticing the figure sleeping close to the door.

"...Must...get...chocolate...Chip...needs...more of that..." Chip said grogily, ignoring them completely.

Preview of the next chapter

"...Er...guys..." Toon Link pointed at the screen. "...Isn't that Mario's dead carcass floating in the space?"

"What do you mean by carcas-...OH...MY...LORD!" Yoshi shouted panicking. "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

...

"The Triple Riddle, huh?... It's me again? Stop that already!" Snake said annoyed.
