This is my first attempt at writing a Smash Bros story and a mystery story in general. As such, if it seems too obvious or something please let me know so I can try to fix it if not for this story but for the future.
It was night. The park was empty, save for two figures that were cloaked by darkness. Normally, the moon would brighten the area enough for the two to be seen, but the cloud cover made it so that the moonlight could not bathe the area.
One of the two was panting. "Heh he, is that all you got," the panting figure quipped.
The other figure, who had a cloak on, replied, "You are in no position to be joking. As you can see, this is not a smash match. Anything I do to you here is permanent, including death."
The panting figure dashed away and jumped into the trees, shouting out as they left, "Well then, I guess you'll have to catch me!" The figure jumped from tree to tree quickly, trying to lose the attacker. After a minute or two of escape, the retreating figure stopped on a tree branch and caught their breath, "Whew. Looks like I lost him."
"You would like to think that, wouldn't you," the cloaked figure said from behind the retreating figure.
The non-cloaked figure turned around and gasped, "How the hell did you catch up to me so quickly? I'm one of the fastest Smashers!"
The cloaked figure grinned wickedly before saying, "Come now, you know me better than that."
The cloaked figure lowered the hood of the cloak, causing the tired figure's jaw to drop in surprise and say, "You? I can't believe that you of all people-." The tired figure stopped mid-sentence because his assailant had stabbed him in the chest with something. The tired figure gasped as he started to bleed from the wound and again when he was stabbed a second time in the heart, instantly killing him. The dead body dropped from the tree and fell into a nearby bush.
"Well," the killer said, leaving the scene of the crime, "I guess I don't have to the move the body now."
It was the morning following the murder, and numerous people were walking through the park. There were two people of interest however. As the couple walked through the beautiful park, random bystanders noticed several things. They noticed the pink dress and crown the girl wore. They saw the blue overalls over a red shirt the man had as well as his red hat.
For almost all of these people, they instantly knew who these two were. They were Mario and Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, and they were two of the warriors that had fought bravely against Tabuu and the Subspace Army. The two year anniversary of Tabuu's defeat was only about a week away, at which time a new smash tournament would take place.
About two weeks ago, those who took part in the second smash tournament but not the third were invited to participate because this tournament was an exhibition. The real fourth tournament was not going to occur for a few more years. As the two were walking along, they were talking about something.
"So Princess," Mario said, starting the conversation, "How do-a you like-a the park?"
"It's lovely Mario. It reminds me so much of the castle garden back home. When do you think we'll get a chance to go back," was Peach's reply.
Mario tapped his chin and said, "Hmm. Oh! I think-a Master Hand said-a we could go back-a home a couple of weeks after the next-a tournament."
Peach looked to the sky and said, "A few weeks huh? I guess Toadsworth can manage until then."
"It'll be nice-a to go back-a home. But I'll miss all of my new friends," Mario said with a sigh.
Peach smiled and said, "I'm certain we'll see them again at the next tournament."
Mario smiled and said, "Wahoo!" After a few seconds, the Italian plumber sniffed and said, "Mamma Mia! What is-a that-a horrible odor? It stinks more than the pipes used to get into Bowser's Castle!" Mario looked around for the source and moved some bushes aside before seeing the dead body from last night. "Princess," Mario called out, "Call the police! And-a Master Hand!"
It was an hour after Mario discovered the body. "I can't believe this," Master Hand said despite lacking a mouth, "Why would anyone kill Falco?" The crime scene investigators were currently looking over the bush that Mario found Falco's body in, as well as the corpse of Star Fox's best pilot.
"Beats me," the police officer heading the operation said, "But from the looks of it, it was simply a random homicide. Our friend here was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I suppose you are correct," the giant, floating glove lamented."
A voice called out, "Let me see him!"
One of the officers said, "Hey son, calm down. You can't just barge onto a crime scene."
"I don't know dude, he's got a gun. A damn nice one at that," a second officer said.
The first officer sighed and said, "Fine. But don't interfere with the crime scene."
Master Hand turned to the disturbance and said, "Oh, Fox. I was hoping to tell you this in private later. I'm terribly sorry for what has happened."
Standing at the scene of the crime was a brown, anthropomorphic fox wearing a black undershirt and a gray jacket. He had a blaster holstered at his hip and was looking at the body with uncertain eyes. "That can't really be him, can it? This is some sort of trick right," Fox said, trying to lie to himself.
"I wish it were Fox. But sadly we must face facts. Falco is dead," Master Hand told the captain of Star Fox.
Fox merely stood there staring at Falco's body for a good three minutes before he ran away quickly. "Fox," Master Hand called out.
The head officer interrupted, "Let him go. I've seen this plenty of times, he'll come around quickly."
Master Hand turned to look at the body again and said, "I hope you are right."
Fox burst through the doors to the mansion and shouted out, "All right! Where is he?"
A man wearing a blue racing suit with gold boots and gloves, as well as a blue helmet was sitting on a couch watching television in the adjacent room. He turned to look at the entryway and said, "Who, Falco? Haven't seen him since last night dude."
"Falco's dead. I'm looking for Wolf. Have you seen him Captain Falcon," Fox replied bitterly.
Captain Falcon cringed and said, "I'm sorry I haven't seen Wolf. I'm sorry to hear that Falco's dead."
Fox simply ran into a different area of the house. He ran into the kitchen, where he saw a man wearing a green tunic with blond hair under a green cap. He had a sword and shield strapped to his back. With him was a reptilian creature with dark yellow skin, sharp claws, a little bit of fiery red hair, and a green spiked shell. The two were currently having a tug of war with a box of cereal.
"Let go lizard brain! I was here first, so I should get the cereal," the man said.
The reptilian beast snarled and replied, "Not a chance Link! This is my favorite kind of cereal, so I say it's mine!"
Link tugged back and said, "Do we have to settle this with a fight, Bowser?"
"Fine by me," Bowser said as he and Link placed the cereal box on the counter. As he left Bowser said, "You should record this Fox. It'll be great material to torment fairy boy here with."
Link stayed behind for a minute and said, "Is everything all right Fox?"
"You mean besides the fact that Falco is dead and I can't find Wolf anywhere? Yeah things are fine," Star Fox's captain sarcastically replied.
"Falco is dead? Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I don't know where to find Wolf. Sorry Fox," the Hylian sadly replied as he departed to challenge Bowser.
Once Link and Bowser left, one of the cabinets opened and out popped a pink, puffball like creature. It had big blue eyes and it had big red shoes for feet. It looked up at Fox for a moment before it noticed the cereal box on the counter and used a suction ability to inhale the cereal box into its mouth, swallowing it whole.
Fox sighed and said, "It might be pointless asking this, but do you know where Wolf is Kirby?"
Kirby turned to Fox and nodded before running off toward the hanger bay attached to the mansion. Fox gave chase, following the puffball inside the other building until Kirby stopped.
In front of Kirby was a golden yellow ship. There was a green viewport on it. Working on the underbelly of the ship was a person in an orange, robotic suit of armor. Fox facepalmed and said, "That's Samus, not Wolf."
Looking over from her work, Samus removed her helmet and said, "What's that about Wolf?"
"I'm looking for him. I think he may have killed Falco," Fox said bluntly.
"Well, I haven't seen him around today, but I might have an idea where he might be," Samus said before putting her helmet back on, "Come on, let's go."
She pressed a button on her suit and a hatch popped down from the bottom of the ship. The bounty hunter and space pilot stood on the platform that descended from the ship. The platform lifted the two smashers into the ship, and Samus said, "Hey, sorry in advance if it's cramped in my ship. It's really only meant for one person, though it could fit two people."
"It's not a problem. I need to figure out why Falco was killed and the sooner I get to the bottom of this mystery, the sooner Falco can rest in peace," Fox replied. Samus sat at the controls and started up the ship that looked a lot like her helmet. The landing gear retracted as the thrusters started to work, making the ship hover over the ground. The roof of the hanger bay retracted as Samus' ship prepared to leave. The ship accelerated forward, and out into the atmosphere, its destination currently unknown.
Master Hand floated down a hallway of the mansion with two of the guests from the second Smash tournament. One of them carried a sheathed sword and was wearing blue armor. He had a matching headband on his head that kept his red hair out of his face. The other person was very pale, almost purely white, with a purple tail. His hands had three small circular fingers and he levitated over the ground.
"It's very unfortunate that Falco was killed last night, but I don't plan on canceling the tournament. I want to welcome you two as well as the others back and I feel like that won't happen without the tournament," Master Hand stated.
The man with the sword shrugged and said, "Even without the tournament, I would come back if given the option. I like the challenge of fighting with everyone else here."
The other being telepathically said, "You would say that Roy. Aren't you at least a little bit upset that Ike replaced you? I'm a little miffed at Lucario personally."
"Not really. I mean, yeah he's a swordsman and his sword has some fire properties, but aside from that there aren't any real similarities between he and I. You and Lucario are pretty different too, Mewtwo," Roy stated.
Master Hand interrupted, "Well, should things go well in this tournament, then I think you two as well as the other three can come back."
"Personally, I would love that," Roy said. Mewtwo snorted and said, "You would say that. I don't know if I'll come back. I've got other things that I need to attend to."
"Well, you're here for the duration of the tournament. Why don't a few of the Smashers take you two into town so that you can see what it's like here? I have a feeling all future Smash tournaments will take place here so you should get acquainted with the surrounding area," Master Hand suggested.
Roy smiled and said, "I like that idea. Who would be going?"
Master Hand floated in midair before he snapped his fingers and said, "I will send a bunch of the Smashers, as we need to pick some things up in town. I'll send Mario, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Zelda, Bowser, Marth, Meta Knight, Lucas and Toon Link. Some can show you around while others run errands."
"My old pal Marth! I can't wait to catch up with him. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to him yet," Roy cheered.
Mewtwo muttered, "Yeah, keep cheering like that Roy. You're only going to give me a migraine."
Samus' ship flew through the vast reaches of space for a few minutes at near-warp speeds until it approached a small moon. Samus took the ship down slowly in front of a large building. Alien music could be heard from the building.
"What is this place," Fox asked, confused about where he was.
Samus shrugged and said, "Between tournaments and other things, I've explored this universe."
Fox looked even more confused as he asked, "This universe? What do you mean? Aren't we all from the same universe?"
"No. We all come from a variety of different universes. This universe is separate from all of the other ones. Anyways, as I explored, I discovered this place. It's like a bar or nightclub but it's where a lot of shady characters from this universe generally head to," Samus explained.
The ship landed and the two exited the craft, heading for the door. As they passed the various spacecraft that the patrons flew, Fox saw one in particular. "Hey! That looks a lot like Wolf's ship, the Wolfen," Fox exclaimed, pointing to the red and white ship that the Star Wolf captain piloted.
"Well then, let's find who you're looking for," Samus said as the two reached the entrance and the doors slid open. The strange music the two heard before was even louder now as they walked inside and looked around. There were a variety of creatures on the dance floor, dancing to the odd music. A DJ table was set up against a wall, where an octopus-like creature was using his multiple tentacles to spin and scratch numerous records simultaneously, producing an interesting sound.
Samus motioned to move around the crowd and once the duo reached the other side, she said to Fox, "I've come here a few times for information in the past. The person I usually ask, the bartender, is on the third floor."
The two approached the elevator to the third floor and they saw a sign that said 'Elevator out of order.'
"I guess we take the stairs," Fox said, heading for the door to the stairwell.
"I've never been to the second floor. I wonder what it could be," Samus commented as the two Smashers entered the stairwell.
Roy and Mewtwo were standing in the foyer of the mansion with Master Hand. The nine Smashers the glove planned on sending into town were present as well. "Roy, Mewtwo, I'm certain you remember most of these people from the first smash tournament," Master Hand commented, only to see that Roy wasn't next to him.
The swordsman was talking to another swordsman with blue hair and was wearing blue armor and a blue cape. Master hand floated there for a second before stating, "Well then, Mewtwo, you already know Mario, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Zelda, Bowser and Marth."
"Indeed I do. You had better hope I don't fight you in the tournament Pikachu. If I can beat you in a Pokemon battle, you won't last in a fighting tournament," Mewtwo taunted to a small, yellow rodent creature. Electricity crackled in its cheeks as if to respond to this threat.
A woman with brown hair and wearing a purple and white dress pet the Pokemon on its head, saying, "Don't listen to him Pikachu. He doesn't know what a Final Smash is."
"Final what now? Explain yourself Zelda," the psychic-type Pokemon commanded.
Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, shook her head and replied, "Master Hand said we can't tell you anything about the third tournament. He'll go into details the differences between everything before this new tournament starts."
Master Hand pointed to the other three people in the room and said, "Before you all leave, let me introduce you to some of the new Smashers." Pointing to a small round, masked man with a cape, he said, "This is Meta Knight."
The masked man pulled out a sword and said, "If what the others tell me is correct, you shall be a good rival Mewtwo."
"Yes, and if what the others have told me is correct, you're ridiculously cheap," Mewtwo replied.
"Moving on, this is Lucas," the glove said, pointing to a boy wearing a red and yellow striped shirt. His blond hair was styled similarly to the way Elvis' hair was styled.
"Um, Hi," the boy said meekly.
Master Hand pointed to the last of the people and said, "And this is Toon Link." A young boy that looked just like Link with the exception of his freakishly large eyes, his lighter colored clothes and the fact that he looked like a cartoon.
"Hi guys! It's great to meet you," Toon Link excitedly said.
"Right," Mewtwo replied with a bit of uncertainty.
"Well then, lets-a go," Mario said as the eleven Smashers left the mansion.
It was quiet for a few seconds until Link shouted, "What happened to the cereal?"
Fox and Samus opened the second floor door and entered the room. The two Smashers had to cross the room in order to make it to the third floor stairwell. What they saw though, surprised them. They were in what would best be described as a strip club. Scantily clad women were all over the place, dancing on poles, some giving men lap dances, others could be heard inside of semi-private, locked rooms, moaning and shouting.
"Ugh, this disgusts me," Samus said to her companion, as they began to walk across the room. Fox tried to ignore the women from various species trying to attract as much attention and make as much money as possible. They crossed the room as quickly as possible, eventually making it to the other side of the room.
"Let's hurry up and get to the next floor. The longer I stay here, the dirtier I feel," Samus said, opening the door.
Fox nodded and said, "Agreed." The door closed behind them as they began the climb to the third floor. Once they reached the door, Samus opened it and headed straight for the counter.
She stood there for a second before a bipedal, troll-like creature walked over and said, "Samus! Always a pleasure to see you. What can I do for you today?"
The bounty hunter pointed at Fox and said, "I'm not actually here today for me, Flamehorn. I'm helping out my friend here. He's looking for somebody."
Flamehorn the bartender nodded and said, "And who is your friend looking for?"
"I'm looking for Wolf O'Donnell. Samus thought he might be here," Fox replied.
"Yeah, Wolf's here all right. He's had quite a few in the last hour or so," Flamehorn said, pointing down the bar to what looked like a gray anthropomorphic wolf with his head face down on the counter.
Fox nodded to the bartender and said, "Thanks."
"No problem buddy. I'm willing to help Samus or one of her friends. She's always helping me track down lowlifes who rob the place," Flamehorn said as he went to clean some empty glasses.
Fox walked down to the other end of the counter where Wolf still had his face on the counter. The captain of Star Fox pulled his blaster from its holster and aimed it at his rival, saying, "Alright Wolf, tell me, why did you kill Falco?"
"Huh? Who's that," Wolf muttered as he lifted his head off the table, his Dragon Ball Z-like scouter missing from his face. The gray-furred wolf stared at his rival before breaking out into a smile and saying in a bit of a drunken slur, "Hey Fox, old buddy old pal! How've ya been?"
"Didn't you just hear me? Falco's dead! And you killed him," Fox shouted, his grip on the gun unwavering.
"Who's Falco again? He's the bird right? Or is he the frog," Wolf said, clearly drunk to some extent.
Fox facepalmed and said, "Yes. Falco is the bird. He's dead now. Did you kill him?"
Wolf hiccupped and said, "I don't remember man."
"Samus, do you know how to get him sobered up," Fox asked.
"I've got one idea," replied the bounty hunter as she threw a cup of cold water at the drunken wolf.
The water splashed all over his face, and he immediately growled, "Hey Samus, you've got a lot of nerve to do that to me!"
Fox aimed his blaster at his rival again and said, "Now that you're nice and sober, did you kill Falco?"
"Birdbrain? Hell no, Panther called the kill shot on him. I'm only out to beat one person, and that's you Fox," Wolf replied before asking, "Wait, you mean he's dead? As in literally dead?"
Fox holstered his blaster and said, "Yeah. He was stabbed by someone last night."
Wolf frowned and replied, "And because you and I are enemies, you just naturally assumed it was me?"
"Pretty much," Fox said with a nod.
"Well I can guarantee that I wasn't the one who killed him. Isn't that right Flamehorn? I was here since last night," Wolf asked the bartender.
Flamehorn nodded and said, "Yeah, you were here since last night."
"Wait, so if you didn't kill Falco, then who did," Fox asked, confused over the current events.
Wolf shrugged and said, "Hell if I know. Well, I think it's about time I headed back to the mansion." The leader of Star Wolf put some money on the bar, got up and left, heading for his ship.
"Well this sucks," Fox said as he started to walk away.
"Hey, Fox," Flamehorn said, attracting the fox's attention.
"Yes? What is it," asked the leader of Star Fox. Flamehorn pulled a napkin out from his apron and said, "This one guy's come in here regularly for a while now and every time he comes, he scribbles the same thing on a napkin. I wish I could tell you what he looked like but he always wore a cloak. I only know it's a guy because he always asks for some sort of drink."
Fox picked up the napkin and looked at it before he said, "This just says the words 'Kill the Copies' over and over."
"Exactly. Every napkin the guy writes on, he writes those three words over and over,"
Flamehorn replied, "I don't know if that helps you, but it just might."
Samus nodded and said, "Thanks Flamehorn. Give me a call if you ever need any help."
The bartender nodded and said, "Can do Samus." The two Smashers then went back to the ship to return to the mansion.
The nine Smashers showing Mewtwo and Roy around the city stopped in front of a small fountain in the center of a public square. "So, who wants to do the errands Master Hand asked us to do," Zelda asked, casting a glance around the others.
Lucas, wishing to avoid the two newcomers, raised his hand and timidly said, "I'll do some of them."
Mario nodded and said, "Me too! Wahoo!"
Zelda cast a glance at the rest of the Smashers and said, "I guess I could do the rest of them."
"All right! So should three of us each go with Mewtwo and Roy and show them around," Captain Falcon asked.
"I'm cool with that," Roy said with a shrug.
Meta Knight looked at the Smashers assembled and suggested, "Well, how about Pikachu, Marth and Toon Link go with Roy and Captain Falcon, Bowser and myself go with Mewtwo?"
"I don't particularly care too much," Mewtwo remarked.
"All right! Lets-a go! Should we meet back here in an hour," Mario suggested.
Zelda nodded and said, "That should give us enough time to do what we need to do." The group then split up to do what they had planned to do.
Three men were sitting on a couch in the Smash mansion, watching TV. "Hey, can you change the channel," a man wearing a blue shirt with some pieces of armor here and there and a red cape asked.
One of the other men, who wore a camouflage suit and had a bandanna on his head, asked in reply, "Why? What would you rather watch Ike?"
Ike shrugged and said, "I was just wondering what was on Snake. Though it looks like Luigi doesn't like what's on right now." Ike and Snake looked at the other end of the couch were a man wearing overalls over a green shirt as well as a green hat was huddling in the fetal position.
"Okay. So maybe this war movie wasn't a great idea," Snake commented while stroking his chin, his hand running over the beard stubble.
At this moment Master Hand floated in and said, "Hey, I sent some Smashers to run some errands and I forgot a couple. Would you mind doing them?"
"We don't have much of a choice in the matter, do we," Snake asked.
"No. Have fun," Master Hand said as he departed.
Ike got up and said, "All right. Hey Luigi! We're going to run some errands. Come on."
"You don't-a have to tell me twice," the green-suited plumber said as he quickly got up.
Snake got up as well and said, "Well we don't have all day, let's go." The three Smashers then departed the mansion to run the errand for Master Hand.
Many of the Smashers were in a department store running the errands for Master Hand or showing the others around. The only people who weren't in the store right now that went with the group were Mario and Zelda. Captain Falcon was showing Mewtwo the armory that this department store had for some reason. "So this is where Master Hand orders the Cracker Launchers and Ray Guns from. I know you used Ray Guns but I think the Cracker Launcher may be one of the best weapons in the game," the F-Zero pilot explained.
"Oh? And why is that," Mewtwo said in a tone that implied he didn't care.
Bowser didn't pick up on this and so the king of the koopas explained, "It fires about fifteen shots that explode on impact. If you can juggle an enemy in the air with one of these guns, they're gonna be knocked out soon enough."
"You mean like what happened during your fight with Link earlier," Meta Knight asked, somewhat mockingly.
"Shut up," Bowser grumbled.
"Hey guys," a voice called out and the four turned to see Snake, Luigi and Ike standing around.
Captain Falcon waved and said, "What's up?"
"Master Hand forgot some errands on the list he gave you so he asked us to go," Ike said with a shrug.
"Hey there plumber boy. I hope you haven't forgotten how great I am," Mewtwo smugly said.
Luigi shook slightly and said, "N-n-no, I haven't."
Mewtwo smirked and said, "That's right. And you aren't going to forget it."
Snake frowned and said, "Hey, leave Luigi alone. He's been in more of these tournaments than you have."
Mewtwo crossed his arms and said, "Oh yeah? Well I think-." The power suddenly went out and the entire building was cloaked in darkness.
"Pit, wake up. I've sensed something terrible," a voice sounded inside the head of one of the Smashers. The person in question woke up and stretched, stretching his white wings and moving his arms around the sleeves of his white tunic. A crown of laurel branches rested atop his head of brown hair.
Pit yawned and asked, "What is it Lady Palutena?"
A hologram-like image of a woman with long green hair wearing a white dress and a considerable amount of jewelry appeared and it said, "I had a vision that one of your fellow Smashers is in terrible danger. I don't know who it is but I fear that they may be close to death."
"What? Lady Palutena, you have to tell me where they are," Pit exclaimed, picking up the Sacred Bow of Palutena that was entrusted to him by the Goddess of Light.
The image of Palutena nodded and said, "In my vision, whoever it was in danger was at the department store in town. You must go quickly. Take Sonic, Yoshi and Link with you. Hurry Pit."
Pit nodded and dashed out the room, exclaiming, "I'm on my way Lady Palutena!"
Inside the department store, many people were in a panic. People were running around in the dark, causing items to fall everywhere and people to fall as well. Amid all the chaos around them, a figure approached one of the Smashers. The Smasher was unaware that someone was behind them. The figure smirked behind their cloak and pulled an object out from behind their back. It was a piece of merchandise that the store sold: A sharp kitchen knife. The figure raised the knife and quickly ended the life of the Smasher by slashing their neck. The figure then stuck the knife in the back of the now-dead Smasher and left the scene of the crime, removing a glove from the hand they used to murder the Smasher.
When power was finally restored, Mewtwo looked to see Luigi huddled in a corner with his legs drawn up to his chest. "How the hell did you manage to make your way through a haunted mansion yet you can't stand total darkness," Mewtwo asked to nobody in particular.
Ike frowned and said, "Leave him alone Mewtwo. Jeez, I guess everybody was right when they said you're a jerk."
Mewtwo said in fake emotion, "I'm wounded Ike, I really am. I actually admired you. Few people are actually able to stand up to the powers of a God and live to tell the tale."
"Thanks, I guess," Ike responded.
"So where are Falcon, Meta Knight, Snake and Bowser," Mewtwo asked.
Ike tapped his chin in thought and said, "Captain Falcon knows the layout of this building really well. He probably took them to the roof."
Luigi walked over and said, "Well then, lets-a go there or out the main entrance. I don't want to be here anymore."
"Attention shoppers," a voice said over the P.A. system, "We regret to inform you that nobody will be allowed to leave for a moment. We've had a bit of a situation that needs taking care of."
Pit glided over to the top of the hill overlooking the town. As he landed, a blue hedgehog wearing red sneakers skidded to a stop next to him. A moment later, Link arrived riding a green dinosaur with a red shell-like saddle on its back.
Sonic quipped, "Hey, how come the mansion is so far from the town if we need to go to the town every day or two?"
"It's because of the Smash fights. We have them on location at the mansion and if we get to close to the town, there could be collateral damage," Link replied.
"Makes sense to me," Sonic said with a shrug.
"Uh oh. This can't be good," Pit stated. The four Smashers looked into the town at the department store and saw a good half dozen police cars waiting out front. Pit looked up to the sky and said, "Whatever Palutena tried to warn us about, I fear we are too late."
Only one chapter in and two people are dead! Falco and somebody inside the department store that isn't Mewtwo, Ike or Luigi are our victims so far. I have plans for this to be about six or seven chapters long. In total, I plan on killing off no more than eight people. Make guesses and please tell me your criticisms, so long as you aren't an asshole about it. Thank you and please wait for the next chapter. Until next time!
