Chapter 1: Preparing For Round Four

Super Smash Brothers. You know it has a fun video game franchise where you can duke it out as your Nintendo's biggest characters (with quite a few exceptions, let's be real here). However, there was more than just a tournament going on in that world, more than you know... and the tale of the world all starts years back.

~Credits from Super Smash Bros. starts to play~

Aside from Master Hand and Crazy Hand, who are essentially the gods of the Smash World and possibly even among the strongest in the entire Nintendoverse, and many, normal animals and plants, the Smash World had nothing much to it. It was like this nearly a million years, until Master Hand had enough of the dull planet. That's when Crazy Hand got a, well, crazy idea: scavenge the Nintendoverse for the most noteworthy heroes and pit them in a tournament to see who was truly the best. Master Hand originally dismissed the idea, viewing it nothing more than rubbish, but quickly grew to the idea. After all, what did he have to lose?

Thus, he soon left his home planet to find the greatest warriors known to nerds. Using his powers, he teleported himself across the dimension, landing conveniently in the basement of Princess Peach's Castle, the Hazy Maze Cave, where Mario was at currently at. There, Master Hand not only found the first hero for the tournament, but also discovered the unusual, green boxes, the Metal Boxes. After watching Mario turn into metal to navigate through the Hazy Maze itself, Master Hand grew fascinated with these power-ups, to the point where he decided to bring two of these boxes home. These boxes would soon become Master Hand's "children", Metal Mario and Metal Luigi.

After that, the giant hand continued his search for heroes, always going unnoticed. Soon, he found Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi in a kart race on Rainbow Road, Pikachu strolling through Viridian Forest, Jigglypuff singing in Route 4, Link riding through the Hyrule Fields on Epona, Kirby causing havoc on the Halberd, Samus fighting Ridley in the Ceres Space Colony, Fox flying through Area 6, Captain Falcon racing through the not-so Mute City, and Ness fighting zombies near the town of Threed. Master Hand believed that these twelve heroes would be enough to entertain him.

~Credits stops as Main Menu from the same game starts~

Before returning home, he temporarily froze time within all other parts of the dimension, leaving the Smash World as the only unfrozen planet. He also made sure to leave the heroes unfrozen and placed portals in their worlds that would lead them to the Smash World. He knew they would find them eventually and have curiosity get the best of them.

Of course, all that work wore out most of his powers. It would take him approximately one hundred years just to gather up enough strength to travel across the universe and head back again, but he didn't care. Soon, he would have his entertainment, and that's all that mattered to him.

There's one thing he overlooked though: the portals were unstable due to the high amount of them, and only resulted in the twelve heroes ending up in each other's worlds. Eventually, after encountering one another, the blamed each other for this madness...

~Main Menu stops as Duel Zone from the same game starts~

... and duked it out across their homes. Eventually, with everyone but Luigi, DK, and Yoshi hunting him down, Mario decided to rush through the portals in hopes of finding out the truth while staying alive. Eventually, he landed in a mysterious place: the Smash World's most famous cave, the Meta Crystal, where Metal Mario currently was. Both shocked at the sight of each other, they had a long duel, ending with Mario knocking his metallic copy over the edge.

~Duel Zone stops~

But a certain someone watched Metal Mario's defeat. In a fit of anger from seeing one of his sons get hurt, as well as excitement from his life finally losing its stagnant nature, Master Hand used most of his remaining power to transform the Meta Crystal into an entirely different stage.

Final Destination.

~Master Hand Fight from the same game starts~

Mario and Master Hand's fight then finally began. Mario barely managed to avoid most of Master Hand's attacks, still getting hit by some such as the finger bullets, but rarely got the chance to strike back, despite his impressive jumps. The fight just kept going on, with both parties only slowly getting tired. Unfortunately for the hand, he said something he shouldn't have during the fight...

"I didn't go through all those worlds and use most of my power just to see one of the closest things I had to a child being hurt like that! I just wanted some entertainment!"

... and he even chose the worst time possible to say it, for the remaining unfrozen ones arrived. Realizing who was really behind the recent events, all twelve of them teamed up and quickly brought the hand down.

~Master Hand Fight stops as Practice/ Training from the same game starts~

Once Master Hand was down, Crazy Hand arrived and begged the twelve fighters to go along with Master Hand's plan of a tournament, promising that Master Hand wouldn't do anything so world-bending again. While most of the twelve were still skeptical about the two hands, they still decided to partake in the tournament. Soon enough, the tournament ended, with Mario being the victor, and Crazy used some of his power to unfreeze time. The twelve left the Smash World, but Master Hand and Crazy Hand left the portals open. The twelve spread word of the events, and soon, everyone got excited about a tournament, potentially an even bigger one, just like it.

~Practice/ Training stops~

In fact, the excitement eventually made Mario talk to Master Hand about just how much people wanted to see a tournament themselves...

~Menu 1 from Super Smash Bros. Melee starts to play~

... and thus the second tournament came to be, with all sorts of creatures watching on their TVs, and new fighters joining the fray, some of them from new worlds. Tournament grounds were made, where the stages and a new palace for the fighters to live in until the tournament's end would be. Even a city was made in the Smash World, a city named Smashtopolis.

... yet new terrors would arrive from the following tournaments.

~Menu 1 stops as Giga Bowser from the same game starts~

Near the end of the second tournament, Bowser had obtained a new power from a mysterious energy that no one to this day is entirely sure where he got it from. Regardless, the new energy granted him a far more powerful form. One drove him into a mindless, murderous state. One that allowed him to create a fake copy of Ganondorf and Mewtwo that would fight alongside him. One that could match even the strength of both hands in their weakened state, forcing everyone to work together to take him down and slay the fake copies before they could reek chaos elsewhere.

~Giga Bowser stops~

With Giga Bowser defeated and the energy drained from Bowser, the tournament soon came to a close. Everyone went back home again, most of them unaware of what Master Hand had planned. Only Mario was told of another potential tournament, one even bigger than the last. And after seven years of grueling work by the two hands, Metal Mario, and Metal Luigi...

~Menu 1 from Super Smash Bros. Brawl starts to play~

... The third tournament was ready. Most stayed, though a few of the fighters failed to return. Strangely, even though Master Hand didn't send letters to most of the axed fighters, he did send one to Mewtwo... and never got even the quickest response from him. Not before the tournament, not during, not even years after. Mewtwo's disappearance, while a problem, wasn't a top priority for Master Hand. Instead, Master Hand used a bit of his remaining special power to alter the Smash World's reality with one change: that once anyone took enough pain, they would transform into a trophy in an attempt to avoid death within the Smash World.

... A change that was eventually reverted back at the tournament's end due to numerous complaints about being stuck in a horrifying black void of nothingness during the trophy state, but a change nonetheless. And despite the complaints, the third tournament was just a few days before starting up...

~Menu 1 stops~

... until Crazy had a bizarre dream. A dream about a powerful being, trapped within a dark, seemingly reality-defying realm hidden away from the Nintendoverse that lurked in the Smash World. A dream Crazy deemed to be a glimpse of the future, and a dark future at that. Crazy's idea was tossed aside as just a dream, and a few of the Smashers even ridiculed the hand for it. Upset that he wasn't being taken serious, Crazy ran off, forcing Master Hand to send Sonic the Hedgehog, Jigglypuff, Toon Link, and Wolf to look for him. And then came the day before the third tournament's start...

~Step: Subspace from the same game starts~

... Master Hand and Mr. Game & Watch got kidnapped the being from Crazy's dream, a supernatural entity named Tabuu. Instead, copies of the two formed from Shadow Bugs harvested from Mr. Game & Watch's body took their place that day just to make it seem as though everything was just fine, only for those two clones to get wiped out during the first Subspace Bomb's explosion. With Tabuu using Master Hand into tricking Bowser, Ganondorf, and Wario into joining the Subspace Army, he thought nothing could get in his way from destroying the Smash World...

~Step: Subspace stops~

... but I don't think we need to reiterate that part of the Smash World's history.

~Step: The Plain from the same game starts~

After Tabuu's defeat and supposed death, R.O.B. joined the third tournament, and everything went back to usual. And once the tournament ended yet again, R.O.B. met with the one who created all of the R.O.B.s, Professor Hector, and joined him to build a new island of metal where the Isle Of The Ancients once was. The new island would be given different names from everyone who knew about it, ranging from Mechanized Island, to Neo Ancient Isle, to Ancient's Remains, to even just Trash (you can thank Wario for that one), though Hector and R.O.B. never settled on a name until later on in time.

~Step: The Plain stops~

Years passed after the third tournament. Master Hand had announced that there would be another tournament, sent out letters to a certain few of those he wanted to return, and excitement spread around once more. And that's exactly where our story begins, on September 8th of 2014, when Master Hand was working on developing the fourth Smash Grounds. More specifically, Master Hand, Metal Mario, and Met-

"OOOOOOH! WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?!"

"Crazy! Can you please knock it off with the signing and help us build this stage?!"

... As I was saying, Master Hand, Metal Mario, and Metal Luigi were busy building the new Gerudo Valley stage while Crazy was busy goofing off, signing and spazzing out. And normally, Master Hand wouldn't care about Crazy's usual brand of craziness, nor would he care about his brother not assisting, but the four didn't exactly have a lot done. In fact... they only had a few other stages done.

~Trophy Shop from Super Smash Bros. For 3DS/ Wii U starts to play~

"Why are we bothering on making this stage anyways?" Metal Luigi asked. "I mean just look at it! It's just a dingy place with nothing but stupid sand! Who in their right minds would want to see such a dump, and especially who would want to fight here and get damn sand all over them?"

"Plenty of people wanted it apparently. Ganondorf in particular really wanted it for the past two times now," Master Hand informed his metallic son.

"You're actually going to listen to a megalomaniacal villain's wishes? Really?" Metal Luigi inquired.

"Ugh... we'll talk about this later. We've got stages to build before some of the Smashers show up tonight."

"Oh yeah, Mario's showing up tonight! I hope I get to fight Mario again later, and prove to him once and for all that I'm the more powerful of the two of us!" Metal Mario exclaimed, sweeping some sand off of Gerudo Valley's bridge.

"That's never happening, bro. As long as you weigh two tons, you'll just be combo'd into oblivion by him. Or anyone who can fight at all for that matter," his brother claimed.

"Hey! I do not weigh two t-"

"Every villains is lemons!" Crazy squealed, rolling around by the new 3D Land stage.

~Trophy Shop stops~

Master Hand was about to ask what Crazy was up to, but the sudden sound of trees falling right down in the nearby forest grabbed his attention.

"Crazy! Please stop with the babbling and see what that noise was!" the hand said.

"Oh... you're no fun," Crazy muttered, ending his rolling. He floated through the gates, entering the woodland just in front of the grounds, before thinking to himself. "Trees falling down? I'm pretty sure nothing like this was supposed to happen." The hand floated into the depths of the woods, and as soon as he was nearly out of sight, three robed beings popped out of a bush nestled against the Smash Ground's walls.

~Sunken Ship from Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars starts to play~

"This looks like the place," one of the robed strangers said.

"About time we found this place. Now let's get outta here ASAP. My legs are killing me. Literally. One of them just grew and arm and is trying to punch me to death," another one said, lifting his robe to show that he was telling the truth.

"Hang on, I gotta go double check just to be sure," the first robed being stated. The second one groaned as the first tried to climb the closest tree.

"So, did ya hear that the managed to get Mewtwo on our side with no complications?" the third one informed.

"Really? None whatsoever?"

"Yeah. Turns out, the dude was enthusiastic about our plans. Kinda weird, considering how he's supposed to be the most reluctant "bad guy" if our memory serves us right, but I guess stayin' in some cave for all those years drove him nuts. Just like the time I went into that Dark Cave place in Johto."

"You were in there for two minutes."

"I know, and it drove me crazy. So crazy that I drove my car right into the water in there an-"

~Sunken Ship stops as Outlaw! from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Time/ Darkness starts~

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MONSTER!" Crazy screeched, bolting on back into the Smash Grounds.

"The heck's scaring him?" the second robed guy wondered.

"PINGAS!" a loud voice screamed. The floating head of Dr. Robotnik from Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog came out of nowhere, knocking down a large tree with a single tackle, before coming face-to-face with the two robed beings on the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" the third one squealed.

"Hey, stay back, foul... uh, thing! I have a third arm on my leg, and I ain't afraid to use it!" the second one threatened, making sure the floating head got a good look at his leg arm.

"Pingas!" the Robotnik head said before using his mustache as a hand to rip the arm right off.

"AAAAA- Hey, actually, that feels way better than having it punch me, so thanks." However, the Robotnik head then headbutted the second robed stranger off into the skies, swiftly becoming nothing more than a star in the clouds for a few brief seconds before becoming just nothing within view. The remaining two screeched, the first one leaping out of the tree before they both ran off at the speed of sound.

~Outlaw! stops~

Satisfied with the chaos it had caused and the fear it created, the Dr. Robotnik head floated back into the forest's depths, occasionally shouting out "Pingas!". Meanwhile, Crazy was back in the grounds, shaking in front of his brother and his two metal nephews.

"A-and it looked exactly like one of those character from those YouTube Poops I watched years back! I think his name was Dr. Robuttnik or something! Except it was just his head, no body!" Crazy informed.

"What the hell is a YouTube Poop?" Metal Luigi inquired.

"YouTube Poop is the most unexplainable thing I can think of. Trying to explain it would just result in major headaches for both of us," Master Hand replied.

"So just like every other world in this universe aside from that Fire Emblem world to an extent? Gotcha," Metal Luigi remarked.

"Explain more about this... "Robuttnik" thing, Crazy," Master Hand ordered.

"It was yanking the trees out of the ground with its mustache and knocking them down by headbutting them! And it shouted "Pingas" a lot!"

"You know, if our worlds beyond this lame excuse of a planet were actually sane, I'd have a hard time believing that," Metal Luigi commented.

"Are we gonna fight it? I wanna fight it!" Metal Mario exclaimed.

"Hey, you might not get completely destroyed by it in a few seconds, so it might actually be worth a shot. Don't expect to last more than a minute though."

"Metal Luigi, c'mon! I'm not that weak!"

"Yes you are, and so am I! Mostly you but that's besides the point! We're too slow and too heavy! We'd get wrecked by nearly everything!"

"Both of you, please stop before you wage another small war on each other again," Master Hand demanded. "We'll definitely deal with that... thing later. The fighters are definitely capable of combating or fleeing from that oddity if they have to, and we have other business to attend to. That said... I better send a warning about that thing to those in Smashtopolis. You three continue building the stages while I call Smashtopolis's train station."

"Aye aye, captain!" Crazy gleefully replied, giving his brother a salute. Master Hand only sighed before floating to the newest version of the Smasher's Palace that sat in the middle of the grounds.

"Metal Mario, if we survive whatever our insane uncle makes us go through while we build these stages... I'll believe you that we're stronger than what I think we are."

XxXx

~Athletic from Super Mario World starts to play~

Crazy Hand and the Metal Mario Bros. were on the nearly finished Balloon Fight stage, making the final touches. Crazy Hand was placing Flippers in the air, but then decided to go really wild with the number of Flippers on the stage. He quickly placed so many that the Flippers took up almost all of the stage. Metal Mario accidentally walked backwards into one, sending him flying to another, before flying into another one, stuck in a chain of flying into Flippers, with all these collisions with the hazardous items making pinball noises. Metal Luigi sighed before jumping up to save his brother, only for one of the clouds to shoot out a spark that stuck Metal Luigi. The electricity flowed through every part of his metallic body, and thus he fell down, constantly shaking. Crazy, proud of his work, floated over the water. As soon as he left the land though, the 8-Bit mechanical fish of the stage bit him and dragged him down to the blast zone.

XxXx

The Metal Mario Bros. were on the Rainbow Road stage, specifically on the trampoline-like mushroom of the track. The two looked for Crazy, but couldn't see where he went to. Soon enough, Crazy came by, driving in a kart his size alongside the usual Shy Guy drivers, nearly running the brothers over. Metal Luigi got ticked off by Crazy's shenanigans and tossed a Shy Guy out of his kart before taking the wheel. Metal Luigi ran into an Item Box on his chase after Crazy, granting his a Lightning Bolt that he instantly used. With the other racers slow and tiny from the shock, Metal Luigi swiftly caught up to Crazy and ran him over, flattening the insane hand.

XxXx

Crazy was hammering in a nail on the Wrecking Crew stage with the Hammer usually used in battles. When he made the final swing onto the nail, the rest of the stage began to crack, eventually leading to the entire building to fall down on top of the giant hand. Crazy managed to climb out of the remains of the stage, but Metal Luigi came by, swinging around a Golden Hammer, smashing Crazy before somehow fixing all of the damage down to the stage with it.

XxXx

~Athletic stops~

Metal Mario and Metal Luigi were lying down in front of the finally finished Gerudo Valley stage, panting heavily as they stared at the setting sun.

"Well... I guess we are a little stronger than I thought... Not by much... but a little..."

"You really... underestimate our potential, Metal Luigi! I may have more potential than you, but... I can tell even you have plenty of potential!"

"No we don't. We're slow and heavy. Being heavy is rarely a good thing, and being slow is always a bad thing. Until we somehow manage to hit way harder than we do now, or we become faster, we'll never stand a damn chance against anyone... except maybe that Ganondorf guy. He's a complete joke."

"Hey, you at least know our weak points! And that's the first step to becoming better!"

"No, it's the first step to giving up, followed by realizing we can never do anything about those weak points, and that is followed by giving up and doing better things with our lives, like keeping out of the fights and laying in bed all day."

"Sheesh, you always have to be such a pessi-"

"WEEE! IT'S ALMOST TIME!" Crazy squealed, rolling his way towards the grounds's gates.

"Yeah, it's almost time I went to bed for the next few years or whatever," Metal Luigi muttered.

"Oh no it isn't, it's almost time for some of the Smashers to be here, and you're going to greet them with the rest of us," Master Hand stated.

~Credits from Super Smash Bros. Brawl starts to play~

"YES! It's finally time to meet Mario again!" Metal Mario exclaimed, racing after Crazy Hand. Master Hand and Metal Luigi gave chase, the latter doing so rather reluctantly. They met up with Crazy at the gates, and Master Hand slowly let the gates open...

~Credits stops as Menu from Super Smash Bros. For 3DS/ Wii U starts~

... and right behind the other side of the gates were the "original eight". Fox, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Link, Pikachu... and in the front and center of the group was Mr. Video Game himself, Mario.

~Menu stops with a record scratch~

... And Peach, Luigi, Toad, and Toadsworth were right beside the "original eight".

"What the? Peach, Luigi, why are you two here so early?" Master Hand wondered.

"Uh... you mean you didn't want to send our invites this-a early?" Luigi asked, showing his invite.

"Gah! No, I wasn't planning on sending any invites for anyone but the original eight. I apologize."

"The only thing you better be apologizing for is if some chaos starts again and the princess gets in trouble! And if anything else happens to the princess, I WILL smack you with my cane this time, and trust me, it WILL hurt!" Toadsworth threatened.

"You already got rid of the Fighting Alloy Team? I thought you were going to keep them for a little longer like you did with the Wire Frames," Samus said.

"They got rid of themselves. Literally just three minutes after all of you left last time, they drove on out in a bus," Master Hand informed. "I don't even know where those wild ones are now."

XxXx

~Now You've Done It from Mario Party 9 starts to play~

The army of Alloys were on a distant beach on a distant universe, causing all sorts of chaos as the other beach-goers ran for their lives. A Red Alloy was beating up several other kinds of Alloys, two Yellow Alloys were spinning in the air, a Blue Alloy was riding a Sharpedo on the sand, and a group of Green Alloys were using Cracker Launchers to fire fireworks into the sky and at the remaining beach-goers.

XxXx

~Now You've Done It stops~

"Eh, I'm sure they're not in too much trouble," Fox stated. Everyone stepped into the grounds... only to find very few fully built stages, a few stages still nowhere near complete...

~Goomba Bros. Defeated from Paper Mario starts to play~

... and a giant recreation of Captain Falcon, with his arms in front of him and the palms of hands facing the sky.

"Where did that thing come from?!" Master Hand demanded to know as Crazy revealed himself from behind the giant recreation. "Crazy! Did you do this?!"

"Yep! I did it while you guys were babbling about stuff!" Crazy responded.

"You made that entire thing THAT quick?!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"Of course! And next up on the agenda is a giant Squidward T-Posing! That'll be the best stage in Smash history!"

"Crazy, no! We'll get sued if we use a stage like that without permission, and I'm not going through THAT kind of negations just for a stage of some random person all for the sake of a joke! And get rid of that giant Captain Falcon! That's taking up space!" Master Hand demanded.

"Man, you'll spend so much time building boring stages, but when I make glorious stuff like this in seconds, you reject them. Lame. Really lame." Crazy grabbed the giant Captain Falcon statue and floated off with it as everyone just looked at each other, confused.

XxXx

~Goomba Bros. Defeated stops~

The sun had set and the moon was slowly rising to the top of the sky. The two Metal brothers had already fallen asleep, most of the newly arrived guests were getting ready to join them in the land of dreams, going to bed early to help Master Hand build the rest of the stages in the morning. All except Pikachu, who was too busy staring out his window into the night sky, lost in thoughts all alone in his room... at least until Mario and Link stopped by, peering into the room.

"Hey, Pikachu, what's up?" Link asked.

"You're-a usually the first one asleep. Is something wrong?" Mario added, the two slowly entering the dark room.

~Revelations from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia starts to play~

"Y-yeah... I've been... I've been thinking about the last two events of chaos that happened during these tournaments," Pikachu started, keeping his gaze upon the stars. "That Giga Bowser incident... and then the Subspace Emissary... especially the emissary ordeal... as bad as Giga Bowser was, he still wasn't beatable. We still took him down pretty quickly. But the Subspace Emissary... and Tabuu... Tabuu was way more of a threat than Giga Bowser could dream of. A threat only limited to where he could unleash his own raw power since he couldn't escape Subspace. But even when stuck in Subspace... he managed to kidnap Mr. Game & Watch and even Master Hand... used Master Hand to manipulate Bowser, Ganondorf, and Wario... and I shouldn't have to bring up what that madman did to R.O.B. and his fellow... R.O.B.s."

"Those are all in the past though, Pikachu. You shouldn't have to worry about those events anymore," Mario said.

"That's true, but... Tabuu was way more of a threat than Giga Bowser. What's going to happen when we encounter the big bad guy of this tournament? The Giga Bowser and Tabuu equivalent? What if they're even worse than what Tabuu was?"

"Pikachu, you're actually thinking there's a trend of some form of evil endanger the world every tournament just because it happened twice in a row?" Fox questioned, standing by the door. "You sound just like that Goomba I came across at Smashtopolis today, who insisted that Krystal was going to join the tournament just because Wolf joined last time, and Falco joined the tournament before that. The only difference between you and her is that she was stupidly stubborn and wouldn't shut up about it."

"Yeah, lightning actually is-a capable of striking the same target twice, but it won't be doing that consistently," Mario remarked.

"Unless a certain someone's the one summoning the lightning in the first place," Link commented.

"Heh, y-yeah..." Pikachu muttered, thinking back to all the times he struck people with his Thunder attack... especially the time when he used Thunder to save Samus from Ridley's grasp during the Subspace Emissary events.

"I'm pretty sure no threat's going to pop up this time anyways. But even if it does, we'll defeat it just like we have before," Fox stated.

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry for making you guys worry."

"No need for apologizes, Pikachu," Link said.

"Link's right, there's nothing to apologize over. But we better get to sleep so we wake up as early as we can in the morning," Mario replied. Mario, Link, and Fox left, and Pikachu leaped onto his bed, curled up, and slowly fell asleep. And not long after, everyone else sans Master Hand joined him.

XxXx

~Revelations stops~

Even though the stars failed to shine over Smashtopolis, the moon sure did, along with all the bright lights in the metropolis. Everything seemed calm around the area surrounding the newly built Nook Hotel as a lone Spear Fighter from Hoshido tried to take a bite of some chocolate...

~Decide In The Eyes from F-Zero X starts to play~

... but dropped it as soon as a car driven by a Koopa Troopa nearly ran him over. The Koopa Troopa got back on the road just as some police cars arrived on the scene, chasing after him.

"SUPER MARIO MAKER 2 BABY! WOO!" a Waddle Doo in the back seat of the car screamed.

"Oi, shut it back there! And what's a Super Mario Maker 2?! There's not even a Super Mario Maker 1!" a Kritter in the front passenger seat growled.

"I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST EXCITED FOR IT! IT'LL COME EVENTUALLY, ME SOUL'S TELLING ME IT IS!"

"Ergh... why'd we have to have this moron join us? And why couldn't he have been the one left behind instead of that Alakazam guy?" the Kritter wondered.

"Pull over to the side of the road or we will use Sheer Force!" one of the officers shouted.

"Don't you guys mean "brute force"?" the Koopa Troopa inquired.

"No, we don't!" the same officer answered as a Nidoking leaped over the cop cars, leading the chase after the trio.

"Hey there new friend! Are you excited for Super Mario Maker 2?!" the Waddle Doo asked the quickly approaching Nidoking, who only answered by using Ice Beam, which struck the Waddle Doo's eye. "Wow! You're more hyped than I am!"

"AAAAAAH! THAT THING'S GOING TO SEND US TO THE NEXT ICE AGE!" the Kritter screeched.

"No worries, I have a plan!" The Koopa Troopa then swiftly took her shell off and chucked it at the Nidoking, sending him flying back over the cop cars once it stuck him. "There! Problem solved."

"YOU'RE NAKED! THAT'S EVEN WORSE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Hey, I'm still wearing underpants, you idiot! Oh, there's the getaway Warp Pipe!" The Koopa Troopa drove the car into a blue Warp Pipe sticking out of the side of a large tree and, as soon as the car entered, the Warp Pipe's entrance shut itself before the entrance to the pipe slowly faded away.

XxXx

~Decide In The Eyes stops~

... and within just a few minutes, the car popped out of the Warp Pipe's other end in the empty countryside, at the base of a small hill. Once the car was out, the other end of the Warp Pipe vanished just like the entrance did.

... and on top of the small hill were the demon king Ganondorf and the same Alakazam who was left behind by the three goons, the two standing in front of a green Warp Pipe.

"Took you three long enough. If only you could teleport like this one here," Ganondorf remarked, drawing the trio's attention.

"Hey, at least we got those bombs you wanted!" the Kritter replied.

"Hmph. At least you three are capable of doing anything. Whatever. Come with me, Alakazam. Those three can bring the weapons in themselves," Ganondorf said. The two entered the remaining Warp Pipe as the trio got out of the car and started bringing boxes out from the trunk.
