When Lucario stopped falling, he got up to see four figures conversing. Sonic… Greninja… and Pit? That wasn't right. Lucario couldn't identify the fourth figure, but it seemed like the three smashers were working for him.

How can Pit be working for this monster? the Aura Pokemon asked silently. He crept up closer.

"…Dark Pit, I want you to trick Pit into coming here, so I can brainwash him," the mysterious figure instructed 'Pit'.

So that explains it! I have to warn Pit! Lucario gasped. He ran up the stairs and out of Sonic's room, closing the secret passageway so no one would get suspicious. Lucario ran to the Detective Squad stand, where Robin and Pit were waiting.

"Finally, what took you so long, Lucario?" Robin scolded.

"I fell down a secret passageway in Sonic's room. I found out that Sonic, Greninja, and Dark Pit are working together to help some guy kidnap Mario and make sure no one finds out," Lucario explained.

Pit froze in horror. "P-Pittoo is helping another Smasher with the case?! We have to tell Master Hand!"

Robin nodded. "That's right, but who exactly were they working for?"

Lucario shrugged. "Who knows? It could be anyone, even one that looks innocent like Jigglypuff or Olimar."

"Jigglypuff and Olimar have no reason to kidnap Mario. Now, a villain can have a reason," the tactician deduced.

"W-Well, let's not tell Master Hand until we know for sure who kidnapped Mario," Pit said. He was clearly still in shock from finding out that Dark Pit was working for this figure.

Lucario noticed the sound of footsteps approaching from behind him. He turned around to see Robyn, or the female Robin.

"Oh, hello Robin, Lucario, Pit," she greeted, surprised that Pit and Lucario were there.

Pit smiled in delight. "Hi Robyn! Why are you here?" he asked.

"I found out something that might be crucial to solving this mystery," Robyn replied.

Lucario was now interested. "What is it?"

"While cleaning Dark Pit's room, I found an unfinished note that was meant to go to Meta Knight." Robyn handed the note to her male version.

'Dear Meta Knight,

As the official recruiter for the S.W.E.T. (Smashers Who do Evil Things), I hereby invite you to the S.W.E.T. If you accept this invitation, come to'

The note ended there.

"Hmm… suspicious… We better keep an eye on Dark Pit. To do that, we need Pit," Robin said, deep in thought.

Pit looked at Robin, stunned. "Me? Keep an eye on Pittoo? I-I think I can do that. I-I can't believe that not only he is that group, but is recruiting other Smashers!"

Still, Dark Pit recruiting Smashers for this group? If Bowser or Ganondorf got in that group, that can spell trouble, Lucario said silently.

"Since it's my week to clean the Smasher's rooms, I might be able to find some more clues about who this mysterious figure is," Robyn suggested.

Lucario nodded in agreement. "That is a great idea. If you find anything else, bring it to us."

Robyn smiled. "Alright!"


Dark Pit, Greninja, and Sonic inspected the footprint left behind by an unexpected visitor.

"Gre, Greninja!" Greninja yelled. The translation was, "I can't believe that someone just walked in here without being noticed!"

Sonic shrugged. "Well, do you know whose footprint that is at all?"

Greninja glared at Sonic. "Gre, ninja! Gre gre ninja!" It translated to, "Of course I do! That's the footprint of a Pokemon!"

Sonic looked at Greninja, shocked. "If you know whose footprint that is, why didn't you tell us!" he scolded.

Greninja only shrugged, and said no more.

"Well, judging by the footprint, I guess that's Lucario's footprint," Sonic concluded.

Greninja nodded in agreement. The figure that they were working for stepped up to them.

"Well, you know your jobs, go do them!"

Dark Pit ran up the stairs, opening the passageway that led into Sonic's room… to find Robyn cleaning it. She turned around in surprise.

"Huh? Pit? Weren't you just over there?" she asked, puzzled.

"No! I-I… This isn't what it looks like!" Dark Pit ran out, running to his own room, and locking it.

F***, Robyn found out! What will I tell the master? he wondered, worried. Dark Pit paced around his room, unsure of what to do now. The dark angel had a sick feeling in his stomach, worried if Pit had found out.

Dark Pit shook it off. No, I have to do this now!


A/N: The story is getting pretty suspenseful, and sorry if Robin/Robyn is OOC. I only made Pit (and Palutena) only call Dark Pit 'Pittoo' since they are from Kid Icarus, and most likely, others wouldn't bother to call him that. Next chapter will start in Pittoo's point of view. Stay tuned for the next chapter on Saturday!
