The Darkest Day
Chapter 1: The darkest day
By Dr. John Smith
Callie and Marie were on their way to the recording studio to announce today's turf wars. It was such a beautiful day, and all of the Inklings were enjoying the sunshine as well. As the Squid Sisters were walking, Callie, the black tentacled one, ran up to a shopping window. "Oh my gosh! Marie look at these new clothes! They're so fresh!" Callie yelled to the silver tentacled one. Marie gave a heavy sigh.
"Come on Callie, we have a job to do." Marie said, grabbing the back of Callie's shirt, dragging her to the studio. Some time later, Callie and Marie were close to the studio, passing an alley way. Callie noticed an out of place cardboard box.
"Hey Marie, do you see that box?" Callie asked.
"Yes, big deal, let's get to work. I wanna get back home and finish my project." Marie answered.
"But you weren't working on a project. You were just sleeping while eating potato chips." Callie said to Marie.
Marie rolled her eyes, "That is a very tough thing to do. You know how hard it is to fall asleep with your hand in a bag of chips?" Marie said to Callie. As the two reached the studio, that's when it began. The sky grew dark, and these creatures, what looked like humanoid crocodiles in brown trousers, dropped from hovering airships, along with turtles with hammers, and what seemed like little brown mushrooms with legs. They stormed into Inkopolis, and began destroying the place. Callie and Marie ran away from the destruction, and hid in they alleyway, Marie noticing he cardboard box from earlier, "Really Callie!? That cardboard box won't protect us from-" Marie was cut off by three crocodiles, all three of them were blue. Callie and Marie held each other in fear, both had tears in their eyes, scared for the end.
"Looks like this is the end Marie." Callie said.
"Yup, I just want you to know, I've always sort of liked you!" Marie said to her Sister.
"Marie I once used your stilettos to unclog our toilet!" Callie confessed.
Marie glared at her nervously smiling sister, "What?" Then the crocodiles grew closer, the Squid Sister screamed, and suddenly, the cardboard box behind them was thrown at blue Kremlings. The Squid Sisters looked behind them, seeing a man in a grey morphsuit with darker grey straps that looked like they held guns and bullets. The man had a dark brown mullet, and wore a head band that covered his entire forehead and a shallow beard. The man gazed at the Kremlings, "Kept you waiting, huh?" He said with a deep, gruff voice. The Kremlings roared, the man looked down to Callie and Marie, "Get behind me." As Callie and Marie scurried behind the man, the Kremlings roared even louder, and the man took a fighting stance, "Bring it on." Instantly, the man took one Kremling and flipped it, and tossed one into the other, knocking all three out. He turned to Callie and Marie, "Follow me." The Squid Sisters nodded and followed him. As they made their way through Inkopolis, the man spotted a weapons store, he looked to Callie and Marie, "Can you two use weapons?" He asked, the two nodded, "Great. Stay put." He ran off to weapons store. He broke the window and jumped in, he hopped out with a zapper and standard blaster. He gave the weapons to he Squid Sisters, and peered around the corner seeing a quick escape to the highway, he looked back to the Sisters "We're making our to the highway, there a friend of mine will pick us up." He informed them.
"But what about Inkopolis?" Callie asked frantically.
The man put a hand up, "Sush, Look." He pointed to a latter dropping from one of the airships, and a bigger, more rotund crocodile wearing a cape and crown climbed down and laughed. The man growled at the sight of the crocodile, "King K. Rool. Of course he would do this, that fat bast-" He was cut off by Callie sushing him.
"No!" She scolded him, "You can't curse! Grandpa says cursing is bad." Callie told him. The man looked to Marie.
"Is she for real?" He asked.
Marie nodded, "Just roll with it, you can curse all you want in private." He grumbled.
He pulled out a folded piece of cardboard and unfolded into a box, big enough for three, Callie giggled, "Are we gonna hide in that?" She asked.
He nodded, "Perfect camouflage. No one will suspect a thing." Once the box was covering them, they started moving, "Move as if you're sneaking past someone you don't wanna get noticed by. Trust me if we get noticed by that guy. I'm dead and you two are sushi. Got it?" He ordered the Sister, they nodded. They slowly moved towards the highway carefully, then King K. Rool spoke out.
"This is perfect! Inkopolis is mine!" King K. Rool said. A giant turtle like dragon thing dropped down as well.
"Save it Rool. Inkopolis is only the beginning." Bowser said to King K. Rool.
The box the three were in slunked all the way to the highway, The man standup and folding up the box and putting it away. He took out a pair of binoculars, and looking around, he smiled "Good. Right on time." He turned to Callie and Marie, "On three, we jump." He told them.
"What!" Marie yelled.
"Why?" Callie asked.
He grabbed the back of their dresses and got in a jumping position, "Because he has no plans on stopping. One." He began the count down.
"What are you doing!" Marie yelled.
"Two."
"Marie, I'm scared!" Callie yelled.
"One!" And with that, they jumped high into the sky as the speeding hover car drew closer. It was blue and had a from that resembled a falcon. As they fell closer to the ground, the girls screamed even louder. The top of the racer opened and they dropped into the car, Callie and Marie landing safely into the back seat.
"Right on time Falcon." He said to the F-Zero racer.
"Right on!" Captain Falcon said, "Any thing found?"
He nodded, "It was a joint plan between Bowser and King K. Rool. Inkopolis was destroyed sadly." The man looked back to the Sister, "My name is Snake. Solid Snake."
"I'm Callie! And this is my sister Marie!" Callie introduced, shaking Snake's hand rapidly.
"Hey." Marie said, giving a much calmer hand shake to Snake.
Snake looked back to the front and took out a smaller box and popped a cigarette into his mouth. To which Callie had another outburst.
"Stop! You can't smoke! Grandpa says smoking is bad." She told him.
"Marie, if she has another outburst like that again. I'm gonna smack her." Snake threatened. Marie nodded, turning to her sister.
"Callie, leave Mr. Snake alone. He saved our lives." Marie told her sister.
"Ok." Callie said with a sad voice. Snake grumbled to himself.
"This is going to be a long drive back to the Mansion." He said to Captain Falcon.
Captain Falcon laughed, "Ease up Snake. I got it! I'll put on some tunes." And with that, Captain Falcon put in a CD into the player, and a song began, the name of it was "Escape from the City"
Snake grumbled once more, "A really long trip."
As the Blue Falcon drove off to the Smash Mansion to meet up with the other Smasher, Snake knew something bad would happen along the way.
I'm sorry, I thought of this while walking my dog, and had to write it down. I decided to make Callie and Marie polar opposites, Callie more child like and innocent while Marie is more grown up. Hope you like it! Also, more Smash characters to be added later on.
