Red was out of breath. He had been running for miles, as far as he possibly could, to escape the unmentionable horror.

It was terrible! It had followed him, even to the Smash Mansion!

It had found him when he was without his trusty friends and allies, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Then... It attacked, as it always did. One by one, it swallowed all the others, too... Red was alone. All his friend and allies were consumed by the terror.

His breathing ragged, Red sprinted down a corridor, hoping against hope that it would just wear off and that things would go back to normal...

He dived around a corner as he heard something behind him. They just kept finding him, and he knew why; they'd gotten Master Hand.

They'd gotten Master Hand, and now they were coming for him. Red's breathing quickened again. He couldn't let them catch him! No!

"I like shorts! they're comfy and easy to wear!" Ness? what?

Red froze.

"No... nonononoooo..." Red covered his ears, but in vain, as he could still hear the words that had so haunted him.
