"And with that, we say our final goodbyes. Farewell, Toon Link." Ike slowly pulled the rope, lowering Toon Link's coffin into the grave. Master Hand floated over to a clearly horrified Link and a weeping Zelda. After offering his condolences, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. The first to leave the funeral was Donkey and Diddy Kong. Soon after came Ganondorf, Wolf, and Bowser, followed by Dedede and Meta Knight, Fox and Falco, Mario and Luigi. After about fifteen minutes all but eight had left. After Kirby finished expressing his sorrow to Link and Zelda and left, Yoshi walked over to the grave and looked at the tombstone. Of course the name and dates that Toon Link was born and died on were in scripted, but it also read Great Brawler, Great Hero, Great Friend. Yoshi made his way over to Link and Zelda. Yoshi took a moment to get control of himself and hold back his tears. But even after doing this, anger was glued to every word he spoke. "Why doesn't his tombstone say 'Wrongly Murdered'?" His voice slowly got louder. "Why doesn't it say died before his time? And why are we not trying to figure out who would do such a thing!" Yoshi angrily yelled. Jigglypuff gave a disgusted look at Yoshi. Sonic sped over to the Link and the others. "Look, I know you were his best friend. But this is inappropriate behavior. We are at a funeral." Yoshi looked over at Sonic. "You are right. Meet me in my room in ten minutes sharp."

Ten minutes later Pikachu, Link, Zelda, Diddy, Sonic, Olimar, and Yoshi were all gathered in Yoshi's room. Yoshi raised an eyebrow when Diddy came into the room. "I had to leave." Diddy explained "I was much too angry that someone would do such a thing to stay."

"Hold on now," replied Sonic "We don't know that someone killed Toon Link. Maybe he got sick."

"Yes we do." Said Link. "Master Hand said in the beginning that nothing has ever been sick in Smashville."

"No time like the present."

Yoshi spoke up. "We all know that Toon Link was murdered. That's why we're here. The only question is, who?"

"Maybe it's someone who had a grudge against Toon Link." Olimar's idea got no response.

"Well, I hate to say it, but it's probably one of us new smashers. I mean, No one has ever died before here in Smashville." Diddy said.

Link, Yoshi, Pikachu, and Zelda all looked at the ground sadly. After a few moments, which seemed like hours to all in the room, Link finally spoke up. "That's where you're wrong, Diddy. You see, six smashers died in the last tournament."

"What?" cried out Diddy "Six?"

"Yes." Replied Link "Roy, Pichu, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, and... oh, I guess it was just five."

"Who was the fith?" Asked Olimar

Zelda sensed that this conversation was becoming too much for Link. "The fifth was a boy known as Young Link."

"How did they go?"Olimar Asked

Zelda stood up. "Follow me." Diddy, Olimar, and Pikachu followed Zelda out of the room.

Link stood "Sonic, you should probably go too."

"Yeah, you're right. Don't want to raise suspicion."

After Sonic rushed out of the room, Yoshi turned to Link. "What was that all about?"

"Well, during that... problem we had a while back. You see, Sonic and Lucario had just been accepted for the tournament that day. All who know try to keep it sort of hidden. Imagine if everyone knew that Sonic and Lucario appeared the first day anyone has died here."

"Yeah..." Agreed Yoshi. "Good point."

—o0O0o—

Zelda stopped in front of five large statues.

"My god. He looks just like you, Pikachu! And the other one has a slight resemblance to Lucario." Olimar exclaimed. "He's a scrawny Ike, he's a short Link, and... is that Mario?"

"What happened to them, Zelda?" Asked Diddy

"Well, during the last smash tournament, there was a typical fight between four smashers. Their names were Link, Mewtwo, Roy, and Young Link. There were also eight people watching on the side lines. They were Dr. Mario, Pichu, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Mario, Marth, Samus, and me. Somehow, during this fight Mewtwo's skin was penetrated, and blue light started leaking out of him. The blue light swallowed Mewtwo and Young Link. Roy tried to attack the blue light, but he was swallowed into it. Pichu then jumped into the arena and helped save Link, who was nearly unconscious from the fight. But while jumping off the platform, after grabbing Link, of course, Pichu started getting sucked in by the blue light, which was growing more rapidly with everyone it swallowed. Knowing she would die, she threw Link onto the area surrounding the arena. Dr. Mario and Zelda then helped him escape. But while escaping, Dr. Mario tripped, and the light absorbed him too. Everyone else who was watching the fight, however, was able to escape."

"Wait. I thought that us Smashers couldn't bleed or be cut or anything?"

Pikachu shook his head. "We don't have a clue on how it happened."

Suddenly, Sonic rushed over."Sorry I'm late guys. I... had to go to the washroom." He winked at Zelda. "But I'm sure Zelda will fill me in."

With that, they all parted ways. All except for Zelda and Sonic.

"So princess, you got any idea's on who is the murderer?"

"I haven't the slightest. And yourself?"

"Well, I think that whoever did it was at the fight where Mewtwo and the rest died."

"Good point." Agreed Zelda. "I shall talk this over with Link."

—o0O0o—

"It's a good idea Zelda, but maybe that's what the murderer wants us to think."

Zelda shook her head. "I don't know, Link. I think Sonic's on to something here."

"Maybe you should go talk to him. See what you can figure out. Tell me when you think of something."

"Okay. Goodbye." And with that, Zelda walked out of the room.

"There's no way it's her." Link said.

Yoshi nodded. He crossed out her name from the list of everyone in the Smash Mansion.

"Not to hit a sore spot..." Link could tell that from the way Yoshi started his sentence that he was going to hit a sore spot. "Maybe the murderer is targeting you Hylians? Young Link was the closest to Mewtwo when he got injured. Maybe Mewtwo was just used as a power source for the mysterious light of death."

...

Link stood up."I'll go check on Zelda."

"Yeah, you do that Link." Yoshi looked down at his paper.

Once Link left the room, Yoshi erased Zelda's name and wrote it again so that it wasn't crossed out.

He smiled. "I'm not counting you out yet, princess."

—o0O0o—

"No way they're the murderer!"

"Oh really? Why not?"

"Just... because."

"Okay Sonic. Whenever you come up with a better idea on who it is, you come back and tell me."

"Fine. Goodbye Olimar."

"There's the door."

Olimar and Sonic stared at each-other for a moment, until Sonic walked out of the room, slamming the door on his way out.

Olimar turned around and wrote some notes on his pad of paper.

Suddenly a brilliant idea came to Olimar.

"Oh my god... I know who it is."

Olimar jumped out of his chair and ran to the door. But when he opened the door, a figure stood in the hall. Waiting.

"Well, at least I was right."

A hard object crashed down on Olimar's helmet, and the glass rammed through his face.

"GAH!" Olimar fell to the ground, dead.

Link, searching for Zelda, heard the scream and sprinted to Olimar's room instead. In front of Olimar stood Zelda and Sonic. Link souldn't be sure, but he thought he saw a knife in Zelda's hand, mostly covered by her sleeve.

"What happened?"

"I don't know!" Yelled Zelda "I was just in Sonic's room waiting for him when I heard a scream!"

"How the hell did you get in my room?"

"It doesn't matter! Sonic, where were you?"

"I was... just in the hallway when I herd the scream. Why are you here Link?"

"I was trying to find Zelda."

Kirby, Marth, and Lucario ran over to the group in front of Olimar's room.

Kirby looked down. "Oh my god, Olimar is... dead."
