"Sir Tabuu, I do not know if it's a good idea. I mean, sure you want to use this bomb, but are you positive about this? We cannot afford to waste this bomb!" The man was talking to someone. That someone in question was Tabuu. As you probably recall from playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he was the leader of the Subspace Emissary. In other words, he's the mastermind of this whole plan.
He was finally defeated by the group of 35 Smashers. Now, years has passed, and for some mysterious reason, he has been revived, and now he want to exact revenge on the Smashers. He is now much more intelligent: he can now talk. And he's now putting his plan to the motion.
"Rest assured, the plan will go smoothly. We just need to plan where to put the bomb, and we will put the plan into motion," Tabuu stated. The man felt like there was no question and he left his hall, but not before saying this following.
"Okay, but if the plan fails, it is your responsability after all. I'm just saying this," the man said as he left the hall. Tabuu smirked; he just knew the perfect place to set the bombs there, without any Smashers knowing of it...
Monday, 9 April. 11:36 AM.
Tokyo. Inside someone's house.
"Pichu... I think you're just my type. Our adorable mouse..."
"Oh, you... Tidio..."
"Tidio, I think you have an strange yellow mouse. And your sister has a strange pink ball, doesn't she?"
"Dad, please... this is not an unidentificable lifeform, this is... nevermind..."
No, they weren't talking with the real Pichu and Kirby... no, they weren't in their dad's car... no, his sister wasn't using Kirby as a pillow... no, none of these were really happening.
They were in a certain house, and they were roleplaying, in the boy's living room. So far, the roleplay has been going along nicely, which started two or three days ago. Today was the first day they returned to the school: fortunately, it consisted mostly of wandering around in the school and then there was a festival which started at 11:00 AM. They almost immediately returned home. And the luckiest thing was that the school was very close to the house.
"Tidio, don't you think we should pause this roleplay and continue on a later date?" His sister asked him.
Tidio was not just your average boy. Not, because his parents were rich. However, they had to start working outside Tokyo when he became six year old. It was most recent. Anyways, he has short, black hair, normal nose, kind of short mouth, brown eyes, and a normal stature. He was around 3'11 feet tall: he was short. Since he can't see a bit, he has to use blue glasses, though it wasn't much of a problem. His special trait? He tries to be nice around everyone, even though it may fail every once in a while. Not all humans are nice, so it's not his fault. At the moment, he likes to wear an white shirt, with a Smash logo, and black pants. He's almost seven years old, and you could say the same with the girl...
Sera is a not-average girl, too. She is Tidio's sister and she has the same age as him, so you could guess Tidio and Sera are kind of twins. She looks like she has a bit long, brown hair that makes her look good. She has small nose, but a bit lengthy mouth and has blue eyes. She's a little shorter than Tidio, heighting 3'10. She can see good enough for her to not have glasses. Her special trait is that she may seem cheerful every once in a while, and would happen while watching some shows, featuring a hero. She likes pink color so she tends to wear pink everything.
"Um... okay, if that's what you want, Sera," Tidio approved his sister's request.
"Nice! The reason I asked this was because I have an friend I need to meet up with. Do you... um... want to go with me?" Sera started to blush at her last sentence: the only thing she wants is that her brother comes along with her.
"Sure, I'd love to see your new..." He paused when Sera suddenly got him into a tight hug with her.
"Yay! Thanks you, brother!" Tidio blushed at this and grinned proudily while running through his hair with his right hand. "Okay, let's go! I can show you where I will meet my friend!"
12:02 PM.
Central Street of Tokyo.
It has took quite an time for them to reach the destination that they needed to go, in order to meet up with a friend. Sera had told Tidio that it would be in a bar, and so they entered into that certain bar. TOKYOBAR, it read, and yes, it was normal for these letters to not have an space. However, inside, they saw nothing, only the shop clerk.
"Is he really this late? He was the one who suggested we meet up here..."
"PIKAAAAAAA!"
"Eeeeeek!"
Sera almost jumped in the hands of Tidio, as he saw a Pikachu. However, it was just a cosplay, and the one wearing it removed his cosplay, revealing...
"You! Don't do this again! You nearly scared me to death..." Sera sighed in a bit of anger at him.
"Who is this guy?" Tidio asked Sera, who just sighed as she replied.
"He is the friend I was supposed to meet, Jacob."
Jacob has the same hair as that of Tidio, and has green eyes, normal nose, and a long mouth at this. He's around 4'2 so he's a bit higher than Tidio and Sera. Like Tidio, he wears the special green glasses. His special trait is being a bit annoying and a impatient one at the time. He likes the green, so he just usually wears green clothes and is always wearing a yellow hat.
"Ha, I knew it, my darling! You're afraid of someone in the back!" Jacob taunted her, who clenched her teeth in annoyance.
Sera sighed as she told Tidio about her friend. "This is my friend, Jacob," she grunted. "He's usually an guy who keep joking in a bad way, and keep picking on the guys and girls, like me. But... I'm trying to get myself to be friends with him. In fact, I've heard that he is actually kind and gentle if you get to know and make friends with him," she took a deep breath.
'Really? It doesn't sound the way to me,' Tidio could only think as he stared at Jacob, who frowned.
"Tidio, stop looking at me! I was just joking, okay?!" He snapped at Tidio, who quickly nodded.
"Anyways, we came here, to the cafeteria, because... um... what was it...? Ah, now I remember!" Sera snapped her fingers. "We came here because you told me there was a important thing about the Smash game. So, um... what was it?" Jacob could only be in slight disbelief.
"Don't you remember what I told you some days?!" He said as Tidio looked at her. "Don't you remember that there was a new rumor about a port of Smash 4 game?" Sera tilted up, remembering back when Jacob had told her. "Well, the good news is that it's not a port, it's a new game! It will be on Nintendo Switch! It's a new game!" Sera and Tidio beamed at this.
"So it's true at all! This oughta to clear some confusion around the players!" Sera cheered happily. Jacob could only sigh loudly at this.
"I have a idea. Why don't we meet up tomorrow in the afternoon to play Smash Bros. for 3DS? Then we can discuss it out, right?" Tidio asked the two teens.
Jacob snorted. "Fine, let's do this. I was getting bored and about to say it too," He said. Sera nudged him to not snort as it's not a bad game.
"Yay!" Sera cheered. "Anyways, we have to part ways. You know I and Tidio have to do some stuffs, right?" Jacob nodded at this. "Bye!"
"Bye!" And they parted ways. But about some distances into, Tidio began to look around suspiciously. Sera just happened to catch him glancing around suspiciously, and she was worried.
"Tidio, what's wrong?"
"I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel like I'm being watched..." He looked around before stopping. "I have a bad feeling. I really hope it's just my anxiety..." Sera frowned a bit.
"It could have been your imagination. Probably it could be from the roleplay we just did..." Sera told him, who got convinced about it.
"Yeah, it may have been my imagination..." He still looked a bit unsure, but decided to leave it alone as they went into their house..
Tuesday, 10 April. 9:12 AM.
At school.
18 minutes remaining unill school begins. Tidio and Sera had gotten their schedules, and they were into elementary school, first class. And they were delighted when they found out Jacob is in the same class as them. By the way, they are in class 1-A.
They entered in the class.
"Tidio! Sera! So we're about in the same class!" Jacob said, happy that they got into the same class as him. His mom recommended this school, and he was interested. So interesting, in fact.
"Hey, Jacob!" They shouted together, but they realised this and they covered their mouths. "I'm sorry, guys!" Sera bowed down. A girl with the glasses happened to see them, and she got closer to them.
"U-um...hello! My name is..."
"Oh, hi there. Your name is...Makota, right?" Sera responded. She nodded. "That glasses girl? I saw yesterday that you got selected as the class president!" Makota blushed at this.
"No, it was nothing this big..." She was a bit shy. "I'm...just lucky to be one..."
"Hmph, what would a class president do? Help? Clean? In fact, I don't think presidents are useful!" Jacob said, being cocky, which made Makota get tears in her eyes. She started to cry a bit, which all guys...and yes, GIRLS, in the class heard.
"You just made her cry!" Sera shouted at him, who just folded his arms. "We'll see..." Meanwhile, Tidio was trying to calm Makota down, but to no avaliable. He, however, got a closer look.
Her hair was blue, she liked to wear blue as sign of the class president, and she had glasses on her eyes, which were blue. When he tried to take another look though, Makota suddenly blushed and pushed Tidio away, blushing a lot.
"Seems like she's so shy..." Tidio said, being a bit drowsy...but then, he snapped out of his drowsness. No, I can't be in love with her! I'm not ready...! He shook this thought off, as the teacher came. He had glasses too, and he had short, spiky, brown hair.
"Welcome to your new school and class! My name is Mr. Kamikodo, but you can call me 'Teacher' if you wish. Anyways. do you remember the new schedules for the school, that I gave you?" He explained. Everyone shouted 'yes'.
"Okay then, let's begin class. I'm sure our 13 years together will be fun!" He shouted, and again everyone cheered 'yes'.
It was at this point where the adventure was going to begin...
Chapter 1: Untold
The first hour in the first day went smooth, mostly it was just explainations.
Everyone had a five minute break, but mostly while they were talking, a spy was watching them from far. It was that same blond haired guy from earlier, who was obversing the three protagonists. They were talking about the same thing.
"Again with this 'Smash' thing? I told you, I will prove it now!"
The five minute break was up, and everyone waited patiently for the teacher to arrive. At a certain point, it started to feel like hours. Makota was muttering 'teacher', but nobody could hear her, though Tidio and Sera had the same thought.
Where is our teacher? They thinked, only for them to be a bit surprised when they were thinking the same thing. Another boy in the class spoke up.
"I'll go search for him!" the boy yelled, but several boys blocked him, telling him that he couldn't search. But he insisted about this, and he know the consequences. Still the other boys didn't let him through. This erupted into a little agruement.
Tidio, Sera and Jacob used the time they had with the agruement, in order to sneakily exit the class. However, when they exited, they were a bit surprised to find Makota outside the class.
"M-Makota!" Tidio said to her, as she looked toward him.
"Tidio..." she muttered to herself. "Please be careful...I have a bad feeling..." she said in a low voice.
"Bad feeling? Maybe this is just another of your jokes!" This made Makota blush a bit at this, and became angry toward Jacob.
"J-Jacob!"
But instead of him, she would be right. Several seconds later, they started to feel the gas, and unfortunately it was a sleeping one at this. They started to cough.
"W-what is this...?"
"Ew, this stinks..."
"I don't like this..."
"Mommy...help..."
In just a second, they fell asleep.
?
Tidio felt something.
He felt something tapping him.
As if it stung. But he just wanted to sleep some more...
Unill he realized there's no time to sleep. He got up suddenly, screaming a bit and putting his hand on his heart.
"Huff...pant...what was this?" He still felt a bit drowsy though, as he looked around.
It was a room, but not what you'd expect from the normal ones. The background was all blue, there were futuristic platforms, and it looked like everywhere was code. Everywhere there were numbers. Like he'd been trapped into a virtual reality game.
"This isn't a game!" He yelled, but there was no answer. There was a path that was filled with arrows. Confused, he decided to follow it.
There was a door but it had a hand code. Basically, you had to put your hand, and the system would verify your hands; if it's the same, the door will open, and if it's not the same, the door won't open and the person might fall into a trap. Tidio thought it was a number code, but as he placed the finger, the system scanned the finger.
He thought it was laser, so he duck down, and closed his eyes for a bit.
Seconds passed before he opened one. The door was open.
What was this? He thought as he entered the door.
There was a console, but Tidio felt something familiar about this.
What is this?
He tried to touch the console, but soon it started to glow white. It blinded him alot, and he couldn't see. He thought it was all over, but then he felt a sharp pain in his mind-
His eyes was wide.
"G-gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" There was sharp pain all over his body, as the red Joycon was removed-
Tidio did the classical transformation pose.
He showed the red Joycon in more detail, tilted it slightly left, and-
"Tra-," he started as he made a circle. He put the Joycon up before-
"-sf-," he continued while drawing down, forming a line. He put his Joycon left and then-
"-orm," he said as he drew right, forming another line. The Smash logo was fully drawed, but it wouldn't be completed without-
"Red!" he finally said as the light surrounded him.
He felt like the body wasn't moving, and felt himself going through something that turned him into clay stone for a while. He seemed to fall, unill the stone started to light up. Light were flowing through him, and eventually it exploded.
Once the light went away from him, he looked like his clothes has changed. Instead of the usual outfit, he now had red gloves, red pants, red shoes, and red long shirt. He now had also the sword, which looked like it was made from plastic. Basically, he's wearing everything in red. His hair colour was also changed as it now looks very black, but it almost looked like that of a devil.
"Swordsman!" He said while grinning.
...Grinning? Tidio looked around confused.
"...Since when did I have that sword? And where is the Switch?" He looked around confused, but then he saw the Switch in his left pocket. He grabbed it and looked at the console.
It was flashing new, like nobody has used that console ever. The screen is black, so it's powered off. There are Joycons, but it seems like these are removable. It also seems like the red Joycon is still on the Switch, despite Tidio having used it for the transformation. There is also a blue Joycon.
He would inspect the Switch more, but suddenly he could hear something. Soon after, he found out that the green monsters, that looked like the Slimes, were circling around him.
What are these green monsters? How can I repel them? He thought a bit disgusted, unill he remembered he still had that plastic sword. He pulled it off of his back, and he could hold it with one hand. It could be my time... But his thought was interrupted when the Slimes started to tackle him.
GET READY
One Slime tried to tackle him, so Tidio tried to get back, only for him...to jump. And not just a normal jump, it looked like that of some distance.
"Ahhhhh!" He screamed as he fell down. Smoke started to surround him, then started to disappear as it was revealed he hit his head. However, he was a bit surprised to discover that the jump did not hurt him.
"No...damage?" He wondered a bit confused, but one Slime successfully tackled him from the behind. He was pushed a bit far, and there was a bruise on his back.
"Ow...I think I understand now.." He groaned a bit as he started charging at a Slime. He pushed the weapon into the slime - after pushing the weapon, the slime started to yell in a unknown language, probably meaning pain, before he disappeared into goo.
The other three slimes were angry at him. They tried to use a attack in succession, so Tidio tried to run, but he could feel a new light inside him. Several sparkles were around him as he started to learn the basic combo. He thrusted, then kicked, after that he slammed the sword to ground two times before slamming it hard and knocking the slimes away, transforming them into goo.
What was that...? He thought at this. Maybe it was some new ability or a new skill...But then he could feel a new power going through him.

Tidio has learned a new skill: Double Slash!
SP cost: 4 - Slash your enemy twice for double damage!...Maybe?
He huffed, and puffed, as he was exhausted from the battle.
I felt a power going through me. Was it a level up? Or was it just me absorbing my enemies? Whatever it was...I have to find Sera, Jacob and Makota! Tidio started to think as he went through different rooms.
Meanwhile...
Makota suddenly woke up with a burst of 'Ah!'.
She looked around the room. It was so futuristic, and that freaked her a little. But then she calmed down. I...I...I think I can get...out... she thought as she got up. There was a control room in front of her.
She went in, but then she saw something unexpected.
In front of her was a boy fighting with some monsters that looked like Slimes. She didn't understand the situation, but she thought that the boy needed help. The boy in question was green coloured, as his clothes were all green. He seemed to have a plastic gun. She tried to approach him, but...
"Get away from me, Makota!" The voice seemed so familiar, it struck her...
"J-J-Jacob?!" She felt a wave of intense blush around her. It was the same boy that said she was wrong, from earlier. Suddenly, she was tackled by a blue slime behind her. Her glasses fell off.
"Makota!" Jacob yelled as he tried to help her, but the Slimes blocked him. It seemed like there was no hope. Makota was yelling loudly while the Blue Slime was tackling her. But then nothing happened to her.
She opened her eyes, and saw that a yellow Joycon was in front of her. It was glowing, too. She reached to touch it, and as soon as her fingers touched the Joycon, it glowed brighter, blinding everyone around the Joycon.
"A-Aaaaaaaaah!"
Makota was now standing up.
"Tra-!" She said as she held the Joycon up-
"-sfo-!" she continued as she tilted it-
"-rm!" Then she put the joycon in a position that seemed like it was a arrow and-
"Blue!" Light surrounded her.
She felt herself going through something that turned her into clay stone for a while. She seemed to fall, unill the stone started to light up. Light were flowing through her, and eventually it exploded.
Once the light went away from her, she looked like his clothes has changed. Instead of the usual outfit, she now had yellow of everything...She also had the yellow flower on her hair, and she had a plastic bow.
"Archer!" she said as she pointed the bow.
"...Archer? What...is an archer?" She looked around confused, and when a Blue Slime tried to tackle her, she just jumped due to the startle. She jumped higher than she expected, and she started to fall, exposing her underwear in the process. Jacob blushed at this.
"J-J-Jacob!" Makota yelled enraged at him and began throwing arrows at him, but he just dodged out of the way and let the arrows hit the green slimes, of which they disappeared into goo. But the Blue Slime was still behind her.
"Look out!" he yelled as he suddenly shooted at the Blue Slime. It looked more like a precise shot, a critical shot, as the Blue Slime suddenly disappeared into the Goo. Usually it would survive.

SP cost: 4 - The accuracy of your Guns is raised, and you also deal very low damage!
Makota has learned a new skill: Triple Arrows!
SP cost: 5 - Shoots three arrows that has longer range, but has very low damage.
"Huff..." Makota muttered as she stood there, exhausted.
"What happened? I could feel my power increasing..."
"We have not got time, Tidio might be in danger!" she interrupted him, with her voice being confident, but she covered her mouth and blushed.
"D-D-Don't t-tell a-anyone I-I s-said t-this, o-o-o-otherwise y-y-you're d-dead!" she yelled as Jacob nodded immediately.
But while she was running toward a door she found, he thought to himself. This girl is a bit cute when blushing...Maybe I should ask for her autograph, but she is not a idol...Wait, I can't think about these things! Stupid yourself! He slapped himself and began chasing after him.
On the other part, Tidio was in the strange world. There were platforms, and sometimes, the platform would gradually disappear, so he had to jump around. At a certain point, he found Sera, and she joined him in the running...Finally, they reached a blue-coloured house, and they entered the house, so that they can feel safe.
"Ugh, I'm never going to stay in that dimension! I want to go home!" Sera yelled a bit, but Tidio just shook his head.
"There's nothing we could have done. We should wait..." A cracking voice could be heard... "and see if a ghost scares you," he finished after hearing the voice.
"G-Ghost!? How dare you say that thing! Stop lying to me an-" She looked behind...
"Eyaaaaaaaaaah!"
She snuck behind Tidio, and looked, thinking it was probably a monster, that is coming to eat her. But he just saw a blond child. He had brown eyes and he had a cyan Joycon in his hands.
"A...blond man?" Sera wondered.
"I don't know if he is a NPC or a human, but let's talk to him..." Tidio said as he went near the child.
"Um, hello, what's your name...?" He said, but the blond child just seemed to tilt his head.
"Name?" he repeated, clearly confused. Tidio and Sera looked at each other.
"Well, my name is Tidio..." the black haired guy chuckled, but he just tilted again.
"Tidio? What is an Tidio?"
"Tidio...I think he might have amnesia." Sera spoke up, worried about him.
"Amnesia?" Tidio repeated, not knowing that word.
"Amnesia is when someone doesn't remember anything. For example... Well, you remember me, and you know that I'm your sister, right? But the blond guy doesn't know what is an name, and he doesn't seem to know anything."
"So he might have lost his...memory?" And Sera nodded.
"Exactly! I don't know how can we..." Just before she said the 'help' word, the blond guy spoke up.
"Caius..." he repeated to himself.
"Caius? Is it someone you know?"
"Maybe it's your name, Caius?" At Sera's response, the blond got a bit startled, but then he tilted his head.
"Now's not the time to talk to him, we have to go! The ground is shaking a lot!" Tidio shouted.
One second later, he was right. The ground shook violently in a way that they have never seen before. They had to run, and Tidio did not forget to drag Caius by grabbing his hand.
"Hang in there, Caius!"
Makota and Jacob were running at the same time, while the ground was shaking.
"Where d-did this come from!?" Makota yelled, wanting to go home like Sera.
"Ma'am..." Jacob started but was kicked by Makota. "Ow! What was this for!?
"I'm n-not your lady..." But when she finished, she could feel that something was removing her hands. She saw that her hand got separated from Jacob, and she was about to fall from the ground.
"MAKOTA!" He screamed in vain as he watched her fall.
When it seemed like all hope was lost, however, she disappeared. He got confused, and when he looked behind, he saw that a unknown girl held Makota like she was a prince.
"A-Ah..." she blushed a bit. "Thanks..."
The unknown girl set her down. "It's no problem, but I think you should be careful, ma'am." She blushed at the last word.
"Umm, t-thanks, but I-I'm not a lady or a princess. My name is M-Makota..." she stuttered a bit. She looked at Jacob, but seeing that he was coming near the girl, she stepped a bit away from him.
The girl had long, cyan hair. Her eyes were cyan, like a feature that nobody has seen before. She also looked like she was wearing a white ribbon.
"Y-Your eyes! Are you from the future?!" He slightly screamed which flinched the blond girl. Makota looked a bit at her, and he was right.
"W-Where do you come from? Are you going to c-capture us, future monster?!" Makota yelled, concerned about her, but she just got angrier.
"Monster?! I am not a monster!" She yelled. "This 'monster' you speak of is not one of them. Besides, I have a name, and it's Mikaru! Do you not see that you have your Joycons?" She said, pointing at what the two were carrying.
"You mean this?" Jacob said, holding up the green Joycon. Makota held up the yellow one.
"I have this, and it's orange..." She said, holding up the orange Joycon. And now the two seemed to trust her, because they lowered the guards.
"I'm sorry to have scared you. Honestly. But one thing is clear-right. Yes, I come from the future!" Jacob and Makota gasped at her statement. "Therefore, I know how this works!" She said cheerfully.
"Then...Do you per chance, know where Tidio and Sera are?"
"Tidio the Swordsman and Sera the Wizard, right?" They are surprised by this.
"Of course I know this, this white ribbon is actually used for many functions! Let's see..." she grabbed the white ribbon. By touching the center part, she opened up a menu. She looked through the GPS map.
"Hmm...It seems like they are nearing the gate. There is also two friendly peoples who are running toward the gate. However...the troubling part is there is a red dot very near the gate. That means someone plans to destory the connections!"
"Damn! If we don't hurry up we might get stuck forever in this place!"
"Y-Yeah, you're right...W-We should go right a-away!"
They two ran off, with Mikaru following after them.
"Hold it!"
On a other side, another twin were running in the cyberspace. The second half, the female one with short, brown hair and green eyes, was running, while the first half, the male one with messy brown hair and eyes, was struggling to catch up, and he was in his wheelchair. Eventually, they reached a dead end, but it had a teleporter system that could teleport. They also had in their hands two Joycons; the boy was holding the black Joycon which was on his legs, while the girl was holding the white one.
"Why...do you run...so fast...Chiara?" the male struggled to talk.
"I'm not running fast...You're just slow. It's not my fault you're sitting like this, Michele." The girl, now identified as Chiara, replied to him. He whined.
"I'm not slow...you know...my body is..." But he then shook his head, as if to say that now was not the time to remind her, while she was looking around.
"It looks like we reached an dead end," she replied, but the brother just coughed again.
"And we've... come this far..." he sighed, then he caught sight of something that he hasn't seen before. "Look to the right! There is...an device?" They went to check the device. It looked like it was made straight from a sci-fi movie.
"I have no information...about this device...where are we really? Do you know, Michele?" she asked him. He was usually the intelligent type.
"...Maybe, we died." This freaked her out. But then she realized it wasn't true, she was alive, so she was angry.
"Michele! How many times I have told you to not say some creepy things?! Let's see what this teleporter does!" She carried her brother with the wheelchair. A light surrounded them, and when the light faded, they were gone.
Eventually, the six members of the supposed group came to the same location, and when the first part of the group looked at the second part, they immediately felt an sense of familiarity.
"Makota? Jacob? Why are you here...?" Tidio said, confused, while Sera hugged the cyan-eyed girl.
"I could say the same about you! Who and why is that blond guy with you?!" He yelled, suspicious about him. This mentioned boy, Caius, just tilted his head.
"He's not called blond guy for nothing, he's called Caius! And what about that girl...that my sister is hugging?" he replied, a bit awkwardly. On that mention, Sera stopped hugging that girl. She blushed, trying to talk.
"Well...My name is Mikaru. And, uh, well..."
"She comes from the future!" Jacob shouted, but there was dead silence afterward. "What?! Why are you not believing me?! Come on, it's all true, look at her white ribbon! And she might even have a small robot following her!" he said, anger obvious in his voice.
"W-We were just kidding, J-Jacob! We're sorry! We believe you! It's obvious by her cyan eyes!" Makota said, flustered. The others nodded as well.
Just then, the third group arrived. But to the six, it was a first meeting. The six doesn't know anything about the final group, which was an boy and a girl. It looked like they had the same age, so you could probably guess they were twins. They looked at the six, and they were going to reach to them, but the boy pushed the girl and, using his wheelchair, he went near...
"Oh my goddess, you're so beautiful! W-Will you marry me, my love?! Your beauty is astonishing!" he shouted. At this, Sera blushed madly, and the other just stared blank-eyed... "Umm...", unill his sister stepped hard on his feet, so hard that he probably would have screamed if he didn't cover his mouth.
"W-What was that for, Sister?! D-Don't ever do this again!" he yelled at her, but she just pulled his ears. "Ow, ow!"
"How many times do I have to remind you, Michele?! Stop flirting with other girls! You can worry about flirting when you grow up. Right now, you're still a little (Michele grumbled) kid, so stop trying to marry a girl!" She shouted at her. "Now shut up!" He went silent and looked down as if he wanted to cry a bit.
"Now...I'm sorry for my brother's behaviour. He just won't stop unill he finally gets a girlfriend. My name is..."
"H-Hey, b-black haired guy with black eyes...I'd like you to marry Chiara. Yes, I'd like you to marry her, you sound like a..." A whack once again. "Ow! Not this again!"
"W-Will you please stop with this?! I-I'm not interested in having a boyfriend! Ahem, my name is Chiara, his name's Michele...Despite his name, he's actually male. Actually, well..." she said, pointing at his wheelchair but everyone already understood that.
"It's nice to meet you Chiara," Tidio said as he shook hands with her. She blushed a bit, but returned the handshake too. Then, Tidio started talking.
"Alright...So where are we? All we know is that first, there's a girl claiming to be from the future (Mikaru: I am NOT, and I'm Mikaru!), there are five unknown members, one of which looks like a bully (Jacob: Bully!? I-It's Jacob!), and I don't know if you all are in the same school, or anything else..."
"I agree! I do know Tidio, as he's my brother, but I don't know about rest of you. Well, maybe Jacob..." Sera said, being greeted with a glare from Jacob. He seemed to be the most ignored. ("Are you ignoring me!?)
"My name is Mikaru. As I told you before, I come from the future." She said, with a glint of her eyes.
After a very quick greeting...
"...So...um...w-where are we, in the first place?" Michele stuttered, but at this point it was a bit scary. "I wanna go home..."
"To be honest, we don't know." This stung horror in Michele, who stared at Sera. "I don't know how or why, but we are now here. Everything is cyan, like there's a lot of codes..."
"Wait, what? Does this mean we're data?"
"I-I-I don't know...To tell you the truth, I'm pretty scared," Makota commented, raising her hand.
"Yeah, I'm starting to think this might be a bad dream..." Jacob also raised his voice.
"Well, does anyone kn-"
"I actually know what's going on, but not much," Everyone stared at Mikaru. "Well...I wish I-I could discuss it with you all, but...We need to get out of here. It sounds...creepy." she sighed. (Michele: "I wanna go home!")
"But...where do we go from here?" Tidio said, a bit confused on the direction, and everyone thought about it for a while.
"H-Hey, I have-"
"- an idea? I'm afraid to say that it won't work. Phone, GPS, devices...Nothing works here." she said, downcast. Chiara just sweatdropped.
"You can't be serious, right?" she said as she remembered that she had a phone in her dress pocket. She got it out, and started it up. Indeed, what Mikaru said was right; looking at the signal, there is an cross icon, indicating that there's no signal. "N-No way..."
"Only way you can know the direction is to rely on me. Here, I have this white ribbon," she took it out from her hands. She touched the center part, the circle of the ribbon. Something holographic popped up, and everyone suddenly backed away. Michele looked like he was about to fall.
On the holograph, there was the general map. There were three paths revealed; two of which to the six it looked familiar, but the third path was very simple and it was from the two newcomers. The three paths ends into a big room, where there was...
"A g-gate? But why would it be h-here...?" Makota said, confused.
"Exit ticket! Let's go!"
"Wait, Michele!"
As soon as the gate icon popped up, Michele suddenly wanted to follow the gate, so he suddenly darted with his wheelchair; Chiara wanted him to wait and stop for a moment, so she got after them. Realizing that the gate thing was probably important, the remaining six decided to follow him. So far, the path was going very nicely, despite being all code - to be honest, it could have probably been like running in a grassplain filled with a lot of beautiful flower. It almost felt like a change of pace.
But everything would come to end soon as there was suddenly a smoke that stung the kid's eyes. They were coughing again, as if they got a flea or something. "W-What is going on...?"
"Who is there? Can the person plea-"
"You need to stop right there."
When the smoke went away, the eight members looked around for the voice, for the source. They saw the voice near the very same gate they were going for, but it was very different than what they expected.
The 'figure' was standing up, and it was sitting up, like some kind of werewolf. It also had almost black fur, and it looked like he was wearing a futuristic gun. It suddenly pointed the gun at...
"Give me this Shino guy. We need him." it said, shocking everyone. It was pointing its gun at what seemed like Makota.
"M-M-Me?" she backed away, but then realized it wasn't talking about her, so she got a little away to see who. It was pointing the gun at this 'Caius' guy! He was pointing at himself, as if to say, 'Me'?
"Yes, you. We've come to retrieve you!" it yelled, but this 'Caius' guy just tilted his head.
"Retrieve him? What are you going to do?" Tidio said, looking at him suspicious.
"Yeah! Consider that he has amnesia! He lost his memory, everything of it!" Sera said, "Amnesia...Really?" Mikaru said to herself.
"What... is... amnesia...?" 'Caius' said, shocking this figure and almost everyone. However, Mikaru strangely didn't seem this much surprised. Jacob took note of this, he will have to ask her later about this.
"...It does not matter. At this point..." But it was interrupted when Michele came over to him. "Um..." his sister said, a bit awkwardly, as she stared at him with a blank look... "Bro-"
"Hey, hey! You're Wolf O'Donnell! I am a huge fan of you being at Nintendo! You fought once against your Fox and your Falco! You became friends with them at one point! You had to team up with them despite hating them! Yes, really, I'm meeting you in person! Can I please have your autograph?! You come from these Star Fox games! Can I please have yo-"
BANG!
His wheelchair fell to ground and he was launched, clutching his head with his hands due to his banging against the terrain. It looked like he was screaming in pain. "B-Brother!" she said as she went to him, checking on him. Tidio and Sera also followed him. Makota just gasped and put her hands on her mouth, as if she just witnessed a murder.
"How dare you?!" Jacob pointed his guns against him. "You shot him!"
"I have no need for ostinate idiots like you. Especially...that cyan-haired brat. I have some business with Shino!"
"C-C-Cyan-Haired Brat...?! I'll have you know, my name is Mikaru! Nobody calls me a brat!" she said as she whipped her Orange Joycon, as it suddenly now glowed. Chiara's Joycon also glowed. She held the White Joycon in her hand, clenching a bit with her hands as she got up.
"I-I can't believe you tried attacking my brother! Unforgivable!" she screamed the last word so much that it glowed more intensely, as the white and orange light surrounded the two girls. "A-Aaaah!" Michele's sister yelled, but Mikaru wasn't yelling at all-
"Tra-!" she started as she held up the White Joycon.
"-sf-!" she continued as she put it more upward.
"-orm!" She put it down, and then created another line a little above the center part of the vertical line.
"White!" she finished as she made a pose that seemed like she was praying. She got surrounded in the white light, almost like she was in the tower.
Again, like the rest of the fighters, she was turned into a clay stone, then the stone glowed as it broke. Once she was free, she now had white gloves, a white dress and a staff. She also had the lucky four clover as her headband.
"Priest!"
"Tra-!" Mikaru started as she formed a circle.
"-sf-!" She formed four arrows.
"orm!" She formed the circle on the center.
"Orange!" She spun her Orange Joycon around as if she was throwing a boomerang. She was surrounded in the orange light.
Once the light faded, she now had a mask that covered her mouth and nose, and she was all orange. She also had a orange cape.
"Assassin!"
"Let's go!" Mikaru said as she fired several, small shurikens. Wolf dodged it and shot a laser, but she also dodged it.
"Looks like you're more advanced than I thought, brat. Time to get serious!" he said as he readied the other gun.
"W-what...? I-I don't remember him having two..." "If you talk now, you'll just get more hurt, Michele! I get what you're trying to say!" But now Michele couldn't stand it anymore. He only watched as he was helpless now.
Wolf dodged the shots and easily scratched through the two, sending them to the ground. "Ow!"
I-If I only I wasn't helpless now...I don't want to see him murder the two! T-This doesn't look a game anymore...
He huffed a lot as he was still clutching in pain, but his Black Joycon was glowing. Finally, he mustered the courage, and tried to open his mouth... "I-I can't stand this anymore! I wanna protect Big S- Aaargh!"
"B-Brother!"
"Tra-..." He now held the black Joycon, and he was now standing up. He pulled it back. "-sf-!"
He thrust it forward-
"-orm!"
Then he made a circle, a simple circle that had a size of a hand- "Black!"
A tower appeared. Once it disappeared, he now had black in everything, and black gloves, as he landed softly. He opened his eyes, which were now slightly red, as if to show a blazing aura.
"Fighter!"
As soon as he transformed, he charged toward the enemy. Wolf fired a blaster at him, which was unusually fast and it looked big, but Michele jumped and dodged the attack. Suddenly, it seemed like the brother learnt martial abilities in a instant, as he landed behind Wolf and dealt some blows with his kicks, finishing with a kick in the head to down as he sent the wolf down.
He backed away and then he held his left hand forward, motioning to come toward him. "Wanna more?" He yelled as his voice seemed childish, smiling a bit. This was actually a insult to the wolf.
"Why you...!" He came to charge at the boy, but just when it seemed like he'd reached him, the boy just suddenly jumped up and kicked him from behind in the face. Sera was impressed by Michele's actions. "I'm going to join you!" she said as her blue Joycon lighted up. "Gyaaa!"
"Tra-!" Sera yelled as she held the blue Joycon in her right hand, similar to her brother's pose. "sfo-..!" Unlike Tidio, she immediately spun around happily as she stopped after a spin, and-
"-rm!" She yelled as she shook the Joycon in front of her, as if she wanted to cast some magic.
The tower appeared. Once it disappeared, she immediately had her blue shirt on, a blue skirt on and she also had a short but cute and blue-ish wand. She also now had a magician hat.
"Magician!"
Wolf failed to notice the transformation, as he was about to scratch Michele, but he was immediately stopped by the fire that appeared in front of Michele, as he used the Fire skill.
"You ain't getting him! Get past us!" Jacob said angrily as his green Wii Remote lightened up.
"Tra-..." Jacob set the green Joycon up with his right hand. "-sf-!"
He stretched his right arm to the right-
"-orm!" As he said this, he now stretched the same arm forward, and then immediately pulled it back, as if to shoot someone, the Joycon now rotated vertically as he put the other hand on the Joycon, akin to the similar feature of what a Wii Remote would do on a TV.
The tower appeared. Once it disappeared, he now had green shirt and pants as instead of the Joycon, he now had pistol on both of his hands, as he pointed the right gun on the camera, while keeping the left gun pointed on the ground.
"Gunner!"
Wolf couldn't dodge as the transformation was sudden, as Jacob fired several shots on Wolf.
"Accurate Shot!" He yelled as he put the gun in front of his eyes, as if he was trying to concentrateon firing. He shot several times and fortunately, they didn't miss.
"Nice, Jacob!" Tidio smiled so much, as he concentrated. He transformed into the Swordman with his red Joycon, taking some seconds as he was having a sword now as he tried to thrust against Wolf...
...only for him to realize that he was thrusting nothing. The enemy disappeared!
"He disappeared! Where is he?!" he looked around as the friends also looked around, this 'Shino' guy staring with a blank look. "I-I have no information on this! How can he hide like this?!" Mikaru said concerned, as she helped Chiara get up, Makota staring suspiciously...
Unill she turned to look at this Shino person. "Found him! T-Triple Arrows!" She said as she launched three arrows. "M-Makota!"
But Sera realized that the target wasn't Shino. The arrows curled up as it flew past above Shino's head. It seemed like they hit the invisible opponent, but the arrows quickly disappeared into the darkness as the figure was revealed, grabbing Shino by his shirt from behind...
"Wolf! How could you!?" Tidio yelled, as Mikaru looked on in slightly scared face. "What are you doing with him?!"
"I told you already...Shino needs to get back, and I have to help him. You brats are just getting in my way!" Jacob and the others just got even angrier. "Now come, Shino. You need to be taken back to your home..." Wolf stopped when he saw the light coming from Shino. He looked at him carefully, and he found out that he had a Joycon. He went to immediately force him to give it back, but just as he reached the hand, the light glowed cyan as Shino's eyes widened, his mouth hanging open.
"N-No!" He struggled as he tried to get the enemy to let him go, but Wolf just got even angrier. "Shut up!"
As soon as Wolf touched the Joycon, the light just glowed even brighter, as if it didn't want to be grabbed by none other than Shino.
"S-Stop!" He yelled as he somehow with force managed to shove Wolf away, dropping the boy in the process as he suddenly yelled, backing away and clutching his shirt.. "A-Aaaaaargh-"
He was standing there, with a very faint cyan aura, as he stood there, but he was emotionless, as he lifted up the Joycon with his hand. "Tra-" He would grab the cyan Joycon with his right hand.
"sf-" He shook it in front of him, stretching his right arm.
"orm." He stated calmly as he thrust the Joycon forward. Suddenly, he was covered in the cyan tower.
Once the tower disappeared, he now had cyan daggers instead of the Joycon as he had cyan in everything. His face also seemed to have changed a bit as he was now smirking a little, and his hair was now ragged.
"Thief."
He stood there as Wolf backed away. "This still doesn't do anything-" Shino disappeared. The next thing Wolf knew, he'd been stabbed in the back by the dagger, as he got away from Shino. "W-What is this?!"
Tidio and the group ran toward Shino, although Mikaru didn't seem very surprised. "Are you alright, Shino?!" Tidio yelled, but Shino remained silent as he glared at the enemy.
"So far...i-it looks like we can u-use that t-to defeat any e-evil..." Makota said, shyly, as she held her bow.
"Listen. This is really important. We've got the enemy down, and he's injured. This is it, guys and girls, we need to unleash our powers!" Chiara said, with a serious look.
"Yeah! We look like a team of eight, a purifying team. We'll beat that'cha guy down!" Jacob yelled in high pitch.
"W-Well...We don't really look like a purifying team. Still, that guy is really annoying. He's... like a creepy guy..." Sera stated, although she was timid at her last sentence.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Everyone, expect Shino who was silent, cheered as the team was now staring at the enemy.
"Libra!" Chiara yelled as she tried to scan the enemy. Her staff immediately lighted up...

Information: Wolf O'Donnell is a notorious criminal, and everyone knows him due to his crimes. He has once been hired by Andross, to destory what is known as the legendary Star Fox. (Michele: No way!/Makota: T-This is... horrible...) Years later, he gained the respect as the most popular criminal, leading him to also own the biggest bounty, of $3,000,000. (Jacob: This is so much money!/Mikaru: Stop talking about being rich, Jacob!)
"Wait, so you're a criminal?" Sera would question the enemy, confused.
"You bet I am! You want my bounty transferred to you?" This gave Sera an horrified look.
"N-No way! You want u-us to be criminals and NOT y-you...?!"
"You're so annoying!" Michele would interrupt as he charged toward the enemy. However, surprisingly, the enemy would prove to be formidable, as he jumped and launched a laser in his behind, as he was knocked down. "Brother!"
"Why you little..." Jacob raised his guns as he shot several times the enemy, as he barely grazed the hits, but... "Fire!" Sera followed this up as the fire instantly appeared and he fell right into it, as he was feeling hot. "Hot!"
Shino suddenly followed this up. "Runner." he silently said as he felt the movements quicken, stabbing several times the enemy from behind. However, right before he could shove him, Wolf suddenly launched an aggressive aura.
"I've had enough!" he yelled as he kicked Shino behind, knocking him by several metres and almost causing him to fall. "Wolf Flash!" He yelled as he charged himself. "Watch out!" Tidio said as the group braced. He suddenly dashed, and just right then, Mikaru unleashed the Knife ability, shooting several knives. While it did directly hit him, to her complete shock, the enemy didn't flinch.
Tidio jumped as the group made several dodges here and there as Makota stared surprised. However, the next thing would shock some, including her.
Tidio was still in air, as Wolf got past him, being below him..but then, to his surprise, the air pressure tightened as he was suddenly thrusted into the ground, hitting his head in the process. Mikaru also got pushed down, but she didn't hit the head.
"N-No! Tidio!" Sera said a bit scared as she saw her brother fall down. "Ugh...!" he groaned.
"Stop it!" Michele was charging again recklessly as Chiara was coming toward Tidio, to treat him. "E-E-Emergency...First...Aid!" she yelled as a magic bandage appeared over him as he was being treated.
"Power Punch!" He charged up the fist as it was lighting up, before suddenly punching Wolf in his face, as he was surprised, his jaw being exposed and being a little broken due to the hit. The skill caused him to get the push by several metres as he hit the ground with his head.
"Huff..." the brother groaned as he stared at the enemy. The group was still wary for several seconds, unill they saw that the enemy was not responding. "W-What...? D-Did I kill someone...!?" He looked scared and thinking he'd murdered someone.
"N-No...H-He...is unconoscious..." Mikaru concluded as she sighed in relief. "I-I think you deserve the accomplishment, Michele." she calmly stated as the group was taking a breather. "Wow! Brother, you're so cool!" Chiara just finished treating Tidio, as she was staring at the brother with look of amazement. Shino was staring at him, as if he had a interest.
Suddenly, everyone could feel a tingle, as their bodies glowed...before they returned to their usual attires, their weapons now turning back to the Joycons. "W-W-We...D-Did it..." Makota sighed as she clutched her heart. Michele, however, suddenly fell down, but fortunately the fall was stopped as he was now sitting again...in his wheelchair. "W-What...? H-How...?" he said confused as to how did the wheelchair appear. He thought there was a hope, as he stared at his black Joycon, as Chiara went toward the brother to see if he was alright.
"...Y-Yeah..." Tidio sighed in relief, too, before he felt a sudden push as Sera hugged him. "You're cool, too!" she complimented.
"It felt like a boss battle..." Jacob said straightly.
Battle end!

You got a item!
Broken Nintendo DS: A old, and broken Nintendo DS. It appears to have the LED scratched, the screens broken, and of course, it will not boot up. Perhaps someone can help with repairing this item...
"This...is a...Nintendo DS?" Tidio wondered.
"Yeah! But I don't know why it's broken..." Sera said with a sad face.
"Perhaps...Someone had it..." Michele said, but then he bit his lip as he was feeling depressed. Chiara shown sympathy for him.
"We should hold it for now," Mikaru said seriously as she grabbed her ribbon again, and opened the map. "Alright, we're close to that gate," she said. "Follow me!"
The group stared at the very long, big gate that was standing in front of them, in a digital room.
"...H-How do w-we open it?" Makota said, confused.
"Simple. We use our Joycons."
"Huh?"
"Did you notice that you transformed with those Joycons?" Mikota said. "Um, yeah..." everyone else talked awkwardly.
"Well, those can do more. Hold them in the front of the gate." she explained. "Please!"
"If this really works. Otherwise, you're in trouble, liar!" Jacob said angrily, insulting the girl with the word 'liar', as he put the green Joycon up in front.
"You don't have to be so rude..." Chiara scolded him as she held up the White Joycon too. Everyone else held up the Joycons. Suddenly, it felt as though the ground was shaking a lot, then-
MMMHRRRRRRR!
There was a very huge sound as the gate slowly, but surely, suddenly began to open, although it gave a very loud noise as the eight Joycons were shining now, brightly. It felt like the aura was soothing. Eventually, within a minute, the gate finally opened fully, as there was a very blinding light, for a moment.
"See? Told ya!"
"That's certainly interesting..." Tidio wondered aloud. Sera nodded as Shino stared, not looking surprised or anything like this. "Are you ready? This is going to be our new adventure."
"A...new adventure...?" Sera said a bit confused as she stared at Mikaru, who spoke about this.
"Yeah! Like, a new world, or anything. If you were given the chance to go to a adventure, would you go?" Tidio and the others immediately understood this explaination.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered together, expect for Shino, who just nodded as they stared at the gate, eager to go, unill...
"Hey!"
The group looked behind, and saw...
"Come back here!" It was that Wolf guy again!
"A-Again!?" Michele said worried as right now he couldn't get up, as he was in his wheelchair. "Help me!" Chiara helped her by carrying the wheelchair. "Let's go!" Everyone ran inside the gate. Wolf tried to go inside the gate, but a invisible, powerful barred pushed him back a lot. The last thing he saw was Mikaru stopping, to look at him, sticking her eye with her finger and her tongue out, as she turned again and went inside the game.
They were off to the adventure. A adventure, that eventually would lead up to be the one, to stop a crisis...
