Chapter 2
Locations of the Weapons



After the event of the previous chapter, the Smashers were all summoned to the outside of 10 Lives Apartment by Master Hand for he had something important to talk to them about. "Holy Weapons?" the Smashers all said curiously.

"Yes, we will need to find them and then use them to defeat King Starman," he explained. "The powers of those weapons know no bounds and surely they will be strong enough to bring him down."

"I have heard of such a thing," Samus said. "I remember back when I… Let just say I've learned about it some time in my life… They're supposed to be made by the Hands."

"Yes, my ancestors were the creators of those weapons," MH explained. "They worried that their race will be extinct someday and there are certain evil things in this world that only they can smite down, and thus they created these weapons using their powers and wanted the chosen people to wield it and fight in their place if ever a day like that comes."

"So this is all prophesized since a long time ago?" Link said.

"And are you saying that we are the chosen people to wield them?" Zelda asked.

"I have every reason to believe that this is the truth," MH told her. "It is said that a seer named Future Hand saw the future and claimed that one of the Hands will gather together 26 proud warriors, and look at how many of you there are here!"

The Smashers looked at each other and counted their number up to 26. "There really are 26 of us!" Young Link said.

"So we are the chosen warriors after all!" Ness said. "Somehow I feel proud of it."

"Me too! I never thought I would amount this much in life!" Pichu added happily.

"So where are the weapons that you speak of?" Ganondorf asked. "How do we find them?"

"Fear not, for the map of the weapon locations have been passed down all the way to me," MH told him. "I will check the map again and because the weapons are made from the power of Hands, I will be able to sense out their exact location to some extent. All right; that's it for today! The discussion is over, so everyone go and have a break or something until I gather you lot again. Get out of here!"

After that, MH took off into the air himself and the Smashers started walking back to the apartment while discussing among themselves what they just heard. "Looks like we'll have to get busy after a while," Link said.

"Sure seems like it," Marth said. "The weapons do interest me though. There are 26 of them all made for each of us…"

"To think that the Hands would've planned out everything so perfectly since many years ago," Roy said. "They truly are an amazing bunch."

"But whatever the case is, this time we are going to wage war against King Starman," Fox said. "He has gone too far in his destruction spree and is now planning to take over the world!"

"I will never allow the likes of him to take over the world!" Bowser said. "If anything, I should be the one to take over the world!"

"I object; I'd make a better representative for world domination," Ganondorf told him.

"You got a bone to pick with me?"

"Don't fight among ourselves, okay?" Zelda told them.

MH had returned to the Final Destination which was parked up high in the air like always for whatever reason. He immediately rushed into the fourth-dimensional area within the FD and went into the place where he stored old things and started looking. Crazy Hand came over to him and asked what he was doing.

"Come and help look for the map of the weapons!" MH told him.

"What?"

"You know, the map saying the locations of the Holy Weapons created by our ancestors!"

"What?"

"You don't know?!"

"I do know about the Holy Weapons, but I don't know anything about a map."

"When our ancestors hid them, they jotted the locations on a map so that we can find it if ever we needed to, didn't we?"

"I only remember that we were given a list of where they are hidden and not a map," CH said before showing him a scroll that only had written words.

MH looked at the contents on the scroll and said, "That's the one!"

"This is no map."

"Whatever… At least we found it…"

-

Back in Room 009…

"So you guys on your way to save the world?" Reed asked them from his room on the other side of the hole.

"Yeah," Luigi said to him. "We did this a couple of times in the past, so I'm really used to it, though it's not like I really got any spotlight. I never contributed much either and it was mostly fluke that I got things accomplished."

"At least you have guts to take on something like this. I would rather stay home and hide underneath my blanket and hope that everything ends without me doing anything."

"SMASHERS!!!!" yelled a loud voice that sounded like MH's, which it actually is. The shouting was so loud that everyone jumped up and nearly hit the ceiling.

"Does that idiot have to shout?!" Falco grumbled.

Everyone immediately got out from their rooms and ran outside to meet up with Master Hand and Crazy Hand. "What's with the sudden shouting?!" Zelda said angrily. "I nearly hit the fly that was buzzing around the room for so long!"

"And you made me die in my game too!" Ness added.

"Those aren't important now!" MH told them. "Listen up: I have found the scroll that talk about the locations of the weapons."

"Where are they?" Mario asked.

"However, they are not hidden together in one place, but rather they separated all over the world, and we will have to travel throughout the world in order to obtain them."

"Looks to be very troublesome…" Pikachu said.

"Saving the world never was easy, so this is perfectly understandable," Captain Falcon said.

"After looking through the scroll," MH continued, "I found out that there are five weapons hidden in this place. While they do not say the exact location, I am able to decipher where they might be from the riddle-like passages. Okay, let us have a look." He turned to CH and told him to read out loud the passages.

CH placed the scroll onto the floor and said, "The words look like earthworms. I don't understand them at all!"

"You're reading it upside-down…"

"Oh." He flipped it to the right side and read from it after clearing his throat, "Here goes! Two weapons rest peacefully in a valley."

"That would be Peaceful Valley," Mewtwo said. "It's next to Twoson."

"Yeah, you got that all right," MH said. "We figured that it would be Peaceful Valley."

"Next passage," CH said. "One lies in the valley of the ringed planet."

"Valley of the ringed planet? That sounds familiar…" Samus said.

"I believe that would be in Saturn Valley," Fox said. "Saturn is a planet known for its visible and spectacular-looking rings."

"How come I've never heard of a planet called Saturn?" Luigi asked.

"Supposedly it is several billion light years away from our galaxy or something like that… It might even exist in another dimension."

"A dimension where its entities are reading everything in our lives," MH added.

"What do you mean?"

"Nah, I'm just joking around. Heheh!"

"The fourth weapon lies in the village that is the opposite of sadness," CH read from the scroll again.

"Hmmm… A village opposite of sadness…" Ness said. "I think that would be Happy Happy Village, which is right next to Peaceful Valley."

"You guys are good at this!" MH said.

"And the last weapon of Onett is underneath the fourth place," CH said out loud.

"Underneath the fourth place?" Yoshi said curiously.

"I know! It's buried underneath where the fourth weapon is!" Pichu said.

"Nah, that's not the case," MH said. "Whoever said that the one hidden in Happy Happy Village is the fourth weapon? They are in no particular order."

"Fourth place… Where can that possibly be…?" YL told himself while thinking deeply.

"I believe that would be Fourside," Mewtwo said. "It is the fourth populated area to be built in the history of Eagleland after all."

MH snapped his finger and said, "Good going! That's exactly what I'm thinking too!"

"Okay, now that we know the locations of the five weapons hidden here," Link said, "I assume that it's time to set off to look for them?"

"There are four locations, so let us split up and look for them," MH suggested.

"But we don't know exactly where in those places they are hidden in…" Luigi told him.

"That's not an issue, for I will hire someone to tag along with you."

Immediately, a large shadow loomed over everyone and they looked up to see the Final Destination slowly descending. The Smashers knew what it was, but the passersby where freaked out and either began running for their lives and started taking pictures. "It's an UFO!"

The FD slowly flipped itself upside-down and when it did, the center opened and a beam of light shined down and three wireframe beings slowly descended from the column of light. "This reminds of those cheesy alien films," G&W commented.

"The wireframes are artificial beings created using Hand technology," MH explained to them. "Therefore they are able to sense the location of the weapons. You may not be able to understand what they are talking about, but their gestures will surely help you find the weapons. Since Saturn Valley is the farthest from here, I will take some people over there while you others take the subway or whatever with the wireframes to the other locations."

Then they started discussing among themselves about who will go where, but the discussion was taking a while and they couldn't come to a conclusion. MH eventually grew tired of waiting and then came up with an idea. "How about this? I'll throw some papers into the air and all of you must catch them. Whoever catches the one with a red spot will have to go, got it?" Immediately after saying this, a wireframe got out a paper and started drawing red spots all over it before tearing the paper into pieces. He handed it to MH who then threw it into the air for each of the Smashers to catch.

And like this, everything was decided.

Peaceful Valley: Mario, Luigi, Samus, Marth
Happy Happy Village: Zelda, Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Yoshi
Fourside: G&W, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Roy
Saturn Valley: Ness, Bowser, Link, Donkey Kong

As you can see, not everyone was chosen to go to those places. "We will be waiting for your return," CF said to the chosen ones.

"All right, everyone! Let us get moving now! We must get all the weapons as fast as possible before King Starman goes too far!" MH said.

"This story sure is progressing really fast," Link commented.

"Shhh! Don't break the fourth wall!" G&W said to him.

And thus the Hands and the ones that were chosen to go to Saturn Valley boarded the FD to take off while the others went together to the subway to go to their respective locations.

The hunt for the Holy Weapons is finally beginning…


TO BE CONTINUED

Indeed, this story is progressing very fast to the point where it feels rushed. But keep in mind that trying to remake a very simple and poorly made story isn't as easy as you think. I tried my best to flesh out everything and add details, so I think this is much better compared to the original already.

For people who have forgotten, this entire story takes place in between chapters 15 and 16 of Time in 10 Lives Apartment: The Remake.
