*many fireworks shoot in the air* HOLY SWEET FUDGE NUGGETS!

Okay, hey guys! Warrior Kitty is back with a new story! However, I need to say a few things real quick.

Firstly, I am terribly, terribly sorry for being extremely inactive on this site and not updating any stories. I have so many things that I have to do for school and it's just been running all of my motivation dry the past few months. Again, I'm very sorry for all of this. Also, to any one who's reading my other story "F is for Friends," I will update the next chapter tomorrow when I get off of school! That is a promise that I will actually stick to this time. Okay, now that all of that has been said, let's, uh...talk about this story.

This is actually a rewrite of my well known story, "Operation: Smash Rescue"! But, there are some things that I need to say.

For those who don't know, I am fully aware that Sara is very old news now and that the writer of the "Mishonh from God" series, Princess America, has actually confirmed herself to be a troll and Sara doesn't really exist (THANK GOD!) The reason I'm making this rewrite is because since it's been about two years since "Operation: Smash Rescue" I've noticed a LOT of issues with the writing quality and I wanted to fix them the best I can and to do that is by rewriting it! Plus, I am actually going to be redoing the entire "Smash Rescuers" series and turning it into a trilogy! I will admit, earlier this year I was thinking of just discontinuing it all together, but I really didn't want this series to go unfinished and I know a good number of you all really enjoy it, so I just thought of rebooting the entire series and start over from the beginning. If anyone wants more info about that, the link to it is on my profile!

Now that I got important stuff outta the way, LET'S BEGIN THE REWRITE! WOOOO! Enjoy, you guys! :D

~ The Smash Rescuers ~

Prologue

Video games.

We all know them, we all love them. Through the many years, video games had become a large source of entertainment and enjoyment to the people. With lovable characters, varieties of game play, and even some deep and interesting stories. Many games have left a great impression on fans and formed many loyal fan bases...and even some crappy ones...But, fans have gone to love them so much that many authors write fan fiction about them. As young authors read and write about their favorite games and play them, they were actually...unaware...

Very unaware of what had been existing when these games came to be.

The heroes that we all know, the heroes we play as on their many adventures, the characters we have grown to love; they live. No, not in our world, but in one of their own.

Of course this sounds insane, but the world of reality and the world of virtuality are two separate worlds; separate dimensions parallel to each other, with the former not knowing that the latter exists. But, what if beings of these two worlds were to ever...meet? If this were to happen, most would assume that the heroes of virtuality would be the superior beings over the people of reality. Actually, that's not entirely the case.

It's true the heroes of virtuality surpass in fighting skills and other things, but in actuality, people of reality have more powere over them. How? How can powerless, ordinary beings be more powerful than ones that have went on extraordinary adventures? The answer is because of their imaginations. Humans of the real world have great amounts of imagination, and this is why they are the more powerful. Fan fiction writers written their own adventures for these characters to go on, making them do and say whatever they want. It's not just authors, it's also game designers; the ones creating their adventures and their dialogue, deciding what actions and decisions they make. They have control.

But of course, the people of reality use their imagination wisely. They know how to handle characters, handle the adventures, and not to give themselves too much power and take advantage. However, there are certain types of people out there who abuse this power. They are largely known as Mary Sues. Mary Sues are aware of that they can do to the characters and adventures, and they sometimes create characters that are too powerful. They make them perfect in every way. Authors of fan fiction look down on Mary Sues. So if one were to ever interact with the characters of virtuality, well, who knows what will happen. But for the many years, the worlds of virtuality and reality stayed apart...until one day.

One awful day that one girl took a turn and changed everything...

(Page Break)

Melodies of chirping filled the air as many Bird Pokemon flew through the open sky. The afternoon sun hung in the sky and shone over the little town known as Smashville, located in the heart of the Nintendo lands. As of now, everything was running smoothly. The residents walked along the sidewalks of the small towns, visiting shops and doing their own thing. For once, everything seemed normal. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to last.

Towards the front of Smashville, just barely outside of it, a faint blue light began to flicker in the air. It continued to do this for a few moments until the flicker grew stronger then turned into a glow. The blue light glowed brighter and brighter until finally, it faded. Once it was gone, an Espurr stood there, looking to be within the preteen to early teen age area. She stood for a moment then blinked open her eyes and observed her surroundings. The many buildings of Smashville stood before her and she looked up at them in awe.

Finally realizing where she was, the Espurr smiled and began to walk into the town. Now for my plan to take action. She said to herself.

Gaining more confidence, she picked up her pace and walked faster along the streets. As she did so, some sort of strange foreign energy emitted from her and began to spread through the air. It moved all around and once it reached the residents, their eyes widened and they froze up on the spot, the energy beginning to affect them. Knowing this was happening, the Espurr smiled once more.

It's working. She said to herself. She continued to walk through Smashville until she finally arrived at the very place she wanted to go. In front of her, a long road stretched a great distance and lead to a large building many kilometers away. The one and only, Smash Mansion.

Now it's time to spread my powers and fulfill my goal. The Espurr said once more. My way. Without hesitation, she began to make her way up the road, heading toward the mansion.

(Page Break)

The atmosphere was quiet. No other noise filled the air except the chiming sound of raindrops falling from the gray sky, pattering against the leaves of the trees and the surfaces of the buildings.

Many months have passed since the strange Espurr had appeared in Smashville. All of the residents and the Smashers themselves soon learned her name, which was Sara. However, this is only because of what she brought...

Sara had unleashed her imagination and used her powers to corrupt the minds of the Smashers, brainwashing them and forcing them to believe what she believed. She spread her beliefs and took over Smashville, but she did so in her way, which was not good in the slightest. Her thoughts were offensive, her logic on things didn't make sense in any way possible, and her beliefs didn't even follow through on how the real logic of it all actually works. However, if someone were to belief something that she didn't, she would make them suffer. When all of this had happened, Smashville had went downhill, and became more and more of a wreck.

As of now, the cold rain continued to fall from the clouds above, soaking the emerald green grass that covered the Smash Mansion's yard. Within the backyard, all the way at the far end, many trees and bushes stretched along in both directions, indicating it was the front of the forest. Everything seemed still, until a few leaves rustled in the undergrowth. Just then, the head of a certain Pokemon cautiously peeked out of the leaves and scanned the yard with his beady, black eyes. His yellow fur was damp from the rain and water droplets fell from his long, black-tipped ears. This Pokemon was none other than the Smasher, Pikachu.

He continued to look out into the yard. Seeing that no one was around, he silently stepped out from the edge of the forest and made his way into the mansion's backyard and quickly scampered across it. Soon, the sight of a little garden at the side of the mansion came to his vision and he picked up the pace, recognizing it as Peach's garden. Pikachu finally reached it and plunged himself in the many flower beds and plants within it.

Breathing quickly, he perked his ears and listened intensely for any sounds. Nothing except the sound of rain. Relaxing his muscles, Pikachu took out a little bag that he had been carrying and turned to the many crops within the garden. Many plants were brown and wilting, due to the lack of care that's been given to it since Sara's takeover. Pikachu quietly crawled among the plants in search for any crops that were still alive and healthy. Soon, the only thing he spotted was a single carrot and a few strawberries. The Pokemon was quick to pick all of them, place them in the bag, and tied it closed.

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded from inside the mansion and he stiffened up, his eyes widening and his heart racing. He twitched his ears and listened hard at what was going on. Loud, muffled noises were heard from inside, sounding like a bunch of inaudible shouts. Just then, the backdoor opened a few feet away from the garden, causing Pikachu to huddle low in the plants. That was when the voices could finally be heard clearly.

"Josh! Be sure to take out the trash and actually put it in the trash bin this time!" Sara's voice called from inside.

"Alright, alright, jeez!" A male voice shouted back from the doorway. A few seconds of silence passed until a large trash bag was tossed right outside and landed on the patio with a loud thud. The sound of the backdoor closing then reached Pikachu's ears and he let out a large sigh of relief. Wasting no time, Pikachu immediately shot out of the garden and ran across the yard, disappearing back into the forest.

(Page Break)

Rain-soaked leaves squished under Pikachu's paws as he made his way through the forest. The large bag filled with berries was gripped tightly in his teeth and dragged along the ground. Soon, a small wooden shed came to the Pokemon's vision and he began to trot toward it. Once reaching the front, Pikachu set the bag down and knocked lightly on the door.

Everything remained still until the door finally creaked open and a green eye peered out. Recognizing who it was, it was the opened fully and revealed the Smasher, Fox standing there.

"I got the berries." Pikachu announced as he stepped inside the shed.

"Good." Fox said in relief and closed the door. "...You didn't get spotted, did you?"

Pikachu shook out his wet fur. "I hope not." He replied. "But if I did, I'm pretty sure they would've confronted me or followed me here. By the looks of it, we're in the clear." The two fell into an awkward silence.

"We should rejoin with the others." Pikachu finally said, breaking the silence. Fox nodded and followed as the Pokemon began to scamper toward another door a few feet away. The pilot twisted the knob and opened it, both stepping in and closing it behind them. As soon as they entered, Falco, who was leaning against the wooden wall next to the door, glanced at them.

"Did you find any food?" He asked, looking down at Pikachu.

"Yes I did," Pikachu replied. "But...it was only a couple of strawberries. It's not enough for everyone."

Falco didn't say anything as he narrowed his eyes at the news. "...Then we give it to the kids." He then said. Both Fox and Pikachu agreed the the Pokemon gripped the bag again and started to scan their current area. They were in a large room that was the majority of the shed's interior. Granted it wasn't very big, but it was enough for all of the Smashers to stay hidden in...Well...what's left of the Smashers.

Within the room, Donkey Kong was sleeping with Diddy Kong curled up on his back. Lucario, Wii Fit Trainer, Roy, Meta Knight, and Sheik stood together in a little group, whispering to each other in a quiet conversation. At the far left side of the room, Mega Man sat on the ground with a whimpering Rush laying text to him and Sonic sat on a window sill, looking out at the rain-soaked forest with an empty expression.

Finally, sitting near the door of the large room, the only remainders of the young Smashers all huddled together. Pichu was sitting against the wall with Yoshi curled into a ball next to her, Ness was trying to calm a visibly upset Lucas by reading him a book that they had found within the shed, and finally, Villager was lying on the ground wrapped in a worn-out blanket, trying his best to go to sleep. Seeing all of them like this, a wave sadness washed over Pikachu and he approached them.

"Here." He said to them quietly, giving them the bag. "This as much as I could get from the garden. Eat up, all of you." With large smiles forming on their faces, the five kids thanked him and began to dig in the bag, taking the strawberries and hungrily ate them. Pikachu rejoined Fox and Falco and watched as they ate until another door and the very far end of the room opened and the legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo, stepped out.

Upon seeing the three, he headed toward them. "Fox, Falco, Pikachu." He addressed them with a nod. The three noticed the urgency in his voice and gave him their full attention.

"Hi Mewtwo." Fox replied. "Is there something you need?"

"Yes. I was just in a discussion with Master Hand in the backroom." Mewtwo said. "We've been thinking on a way to solve this issue with Sara, but we're not certain on how we're going to act on it. He wishes to discuss this with the three of you as well."

Fox, Falco, and Pikachu all glanced at each other and refaced the legendary. "Okay. We'll see him." Pikachu said with the two pilots nodding in agreement. Mewtwo then led them toward the other door. Unknown to them, two Smashers had noticed the little conversation between the four. Pichu had her large ears perked and was eavesdropping and Sonic's green eyes watched them from where he sat as they headed across the room. Curiosity and suspicion sparked within the two.

Fox, Falco, Pikachu, and Mewtwo had reached the door and pushed it open, entering the backroom of the shed. Inside the dim room, Master Hand was silently floating back and forth, as if he was pacing.

"Master Hand," Mewtwo spoke up, taking a step forward. "Pikachu, Fox, and Falco had agreed to speak with you about out problem." Not a word was spoken as the floating hand continued to pace, not bothering to face them. A silence grew heavy in the room as the four Smashers waited awkwardly for a response.

"This is no good!" Master Hand finally said loudly, causing them to jump. "Everything. Everything has gone all wrong! It's disgusting to see what has happened to our home since Sara had arrived. Forcing such ridiculous and insensitive thoughts onto us and only harming others who simply think differently of her. We cannot go on living like this; this needs to stop!"

"We know, Master Hand." Pikachu replied quietly. "But...There's just no way. Sara is a being from the world of Reality. Her abilities of imagination are too powerful for us to face off against."

"We can no longer try fighting back." Mewtwo added, crossing his arms. "Since...what happened back at the mansion when she first arrived..." A solemn look gleamed in his purple eyes as he remembered the scene, but he quickly shook it away. "I'm afraid we just don't stand a chance." Master Hand didn't speak again and turned away from them to think.

"So, that's it?" Falco then said sarcastically. "That's all you called us here for? To discuss how much our lives went down the drain? Yeah, good talk; I 'definitely' feel like we found a solution..."

"Falco." Fox growled to him. "Now's not the time to be a-"

"It's okay." Master Hand interrupted, looking back at them. "Falco's statement is understandable. I have yet to find any sort of tactic that we can use to bring Sara down, but so far, I haven't found anything. But every problem has a solution. Sara has done nothing but bring madness into our world. It must stop!"

"We know, Master Hand." Fox replied. "But it's just like what Mewtwo said; we can't fight back. If we try to, it'll just end up like last time and more people will get hurt."

"Also, the rest of the Smashers are under Sara's control." Mewtwo intervened. "There's only us, Lucario, Sheik, Mega Man, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Roy, Wii Fit Trainer, Pichu, Yoshi, Ness, Lucas, and Villager. We're greatly outnumbered."

As the four were discussing, Pikachu had zoned out and focused on his own thoughts. It really did seem like they were at ta dead end. No matter how much they thought, it just seemed like there's no solution. It didn't matter what they'd do, Sara would overpower them, only because she's a real world being. They're beings of virtuality. They can't do anything.

...

But could they? Like what Master Hand said earlier; every problem has a solution. Maybe they can find some way to fight back against Sara, but what would it be?

Pikachu now began to look around the room. He hasn't noticed it when they had walked in, but the place was a mess. Books and papers were strewn all over the floor, as if Master Hand had been researching for possible solutions. Pikachu continued to look over everything until his eyes soon spotted a laptop near the far right side of the room. With perked ears, he scampered over to it and powered it on. Maybe he could search up an answer.

Pikachu started to type on the keyboard and began to search. The first thing he put in was 'How to defeat a being of reality.' After entering it in, the results started to pop on the screen. He looked through all of them, but pouted in disappointment when none of them gave an actual answer. Instead, they were just articles talking about the differences between virtuality and reality and how they parallel each other. Pikachu gave a small sigh, then an idea came to him.

He remembered back to when Sara first arrived at the mansion, she had announced her name, along with an anonymous name that she used online back in her world. Pikachu recalled what he anonymous name was and typed it in the search bar. He figured that if he searched her up, he could possibly figure out why she's doing all of this destruction to their world and if she could possibly have any weaknesses. Pikachu hit search again and sure enough, Sara's anonymous name popped up on link to a story that she had wrote. Curious, the electric Pokemon clicked it and began to skim through it. After reading some of it, Pikachu immediately lowered his ears and gave a strange look.

So that's who she is? He said to himself. Just a terrible fan fic writer? Well okay, but by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like she has any weakness; I can't find any. Pikachu gave another disheveled sigh and went back to the results page, but then that's when something else under the link to Sara's story caught his eye. Hoping it would actually contain some information, he clicked on it and read it. Well, it didn't give any more info on Sara, but something about it and who wrote made him perk his ears with interest. After reading some of it and reading the reviews for it, an idea began to dawn on him.

"For the last time, we can't keep fighting back!" Mewtwo said loudly in frustration. Meanwhile, the other four were continuing on their discussion about stopping Sara. "If we keeping trying to fight an enemy that we know we can't defeat, it'll only lead to more casualties and to someone possibly dying!" Mewtwo finished.

"Then what else is there?!" Falco argued back at him. "We can't just sit here and let that little brat tear our home to shreds! There has to be something else that we can do! If we can't fight back, then what other possibly option is there?!"

"We fight fire with fire."

The sudden sound of the voice caught the four's attention and they all turned to see Pikachu sitting in front of the laptop. With their interests peeking, they walked toward him and stood next to him.

"Um, what do you mean?" Fox questioned the Pokemon.

"I think I just found a solution." Pikachu answered with a smile. "So Sara's a being of reality and beings of virtuality can't really do much against her, correct?"

"Yes, that's correct." Master Hand nodded.

"What's your point?" Falco asked bluntly.

"Well," Pikachu continued, turning to face them. "If we're not going to be enough to stop Sara from ruining our home, then maybe...maybe...we can get other beings from reality to help us." The four's eyes all widened once his words were spoken.

"You mean bring more real world humans here?" Mewtwo asked.

"Is...Is that even a good idea?" Fox said in concern.

"Yeah, if our problem is a real world human, how is bringing even more of 'em gonna help?" Falco argued.

"He has a point." Master Hand said to Pikachu. "If we were to bring another, we risk the chance of accidentally allowing another being that abuses their power and would turn against us."

"I understand all of your concerns," Pikachu said to them. "But I honestly believe I found the right group of people."

"The right people?" Fox repeated.

"Yes. You see, while I was searching for answers and I found that Sara is actually known on the internet of the real world because of a fan fic she wrote called 'Mishonh from God.' By the looks of it, she's trying to turn what she wrote into something real."

"So that explains her motives." Mewtwo said quietly. "Okay, but what about these people that you've found?"

"I was getting to that. By looking further, I found an MST on the story by a girl who refers to herself as Light. She also has four more friends and they seem like they all dislike Sara's story and her behavior. They seem pretty protective of us and care about what happens to us in the story."

Pikachu then refaced the four and smiled again. "Honestly, these girls seem like they have good spirits. Good enough to potentially stop Sara. If we bring them here, they can probably help us." All was quiet as Fox, Falco, Mewtwo, and Master Hand thought about the Pokemon's suggestion. Finally, Falco gave a little groan and shook his head.

"That's a stupid idea." He muttered.

Pikachu's smile started to fade when he said this. "But...But I thought...How so?"

"Well," Falco said. "Let's just take a moment to remember that beings of reality don't have the fighting abilities that we have, especially young girls like them. The only way they can go against Sara is if they abuse their power as real world humans. So if we bring them here, they'd be useless dead wights."

Everything was silent again as they let the pilot's words sink in. "I'm afraid he's right again." Master Hand then said. "They don't have the experience, nor the capabilities of gong against a big foe like Sara. We'd only be putting them in danger."

"Unless we change their form." Now all eyes turned towards Mewtwo. The legendary had been quietly listening to the conversation and was thinking it over. Once the little issue had came up, and idea popped in his mind. "Pikachu's plan could work." He continued. "Taking down a real world being with others from the same world is our last resort and it has a higher possibility of succeeding. However, if we change the girls' forms into a species of our world, we can train them on how to battle."

Fox gave an approving nod. "That can actually work. Just what species would we turn them into, though?"

"How about Pokemon?" Pikachu suggested. "Pokemon are built for battles, so training them won't be a big challenge and they could use Pokemon attacks for more experience." Master Hand thought everything over and pieced things together. It did seem like a formidable plan. Turning the girls into Pokemon and enhance their skills and since they would contain the blood of real world beings, they could just stand a chance. Hope was starting to faintly spark back within him.

"Everything is settled." Master Hand spoke up. "We will be using Pikachu's idea and bring the five girls here to aid us in stopping Sara. We may have found our solution, gentlemen."

"We can only hope for the best." Mewtwo said, closing his eyes.

Falco looked at the four of them with shock and disbelief. They're actually going with this?! He said to himself. After a moment, he then narrowed his eyes into a scowl.

"Fine." He muttered. "Do what you want, but I'm callin' it right now; after one day, those girls are gonna be nothin' but roadkill and I'm gonna be there to say 'I told you so.'" With a huff, he turned his back on them and stalked to the left side of the room and leaned against the wall. Fox, Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Master Hand watched the pilot as he did, disapproving of his attitude, but shook it away and got focused on the task at hand.

However, back in the large room of the shed, Pichu had her ear pressed against the door of the backroom, listening to everything that was going on on the other side. Right next to her, Yoshi was fidgeting uncomfortably in his spot.

"Pichu..." He mumbled. "We probably shouldn't be doing this. If Master Hand only called Mewtwo, Fox, Falco, and Pikachu to discuss something and not the rest of us, we're probably not supposed to know about it-"

"They're bringing more here." Pichu suddenly said, cutting him off.

Yoshi looked at her and tilted his head. "What?"

"They're going to bring more real world people." Pichu repeated, turning to face him. "They found five girls who are fans of us and they think they could help us, so they're going to bring them here and turn them into Pokemon."

"Really? Would that be a good idea?"

Pichu gave a shrug. "I dunno. But it doesn't matter to me, though 'cause no matter if this is good or not, I'm gonna help them out."

(Page Break)

The rain had came to a stop, so the only pattering noises that were heard came from drops of water falling from the wet leaves of the trees. While the whole conversation between Master Hand and the four Smashers had gone on, a certain blue hedgehog and robot were hanging outside of the shed just under the window to the backroom. The two had been listening to everything as well and Mega Man was barely peeking through the window so he wouldn't be noticed, his blue eyes were shining with amazement. He was lost for words. However, Sonic was leaning against the shed with his arms crossed over his chest. After hearing the entire conversation, his interest was sparking.

"So they're bringing real world people here to help fight off Sara, huh?" He said quietly when smirked. "Heh, this outta be interesting."

And now, it all begins...This will be a wild ride.

Welp, that wraps up the prologue! Now, there's one thing that I forgot to mention in the first author's note, so I'll tell you guys now! Not only am I fixing the writing quality in this rewrite, but I'm also making a lot of changes to this story as well. I have a journal up on my Deviant Art that has a list of all of changes. There's a link to it on my profile as well and I really want you guys to take a look so you'll know what to expect from this story!

But other than that, tell me what you guys think so far. Leave a review or a critic, I would love to hear your thoughts and if there's any mistakes that I made, let me know! Thank you guys for reading and I hope you enjoyed, see ya! :)
