"Where are you taking us?" inquired Holly.

"To the lounge." replied Sheik.

"There's a lounge in here?" Holly said incredibly.

"Yes," Sheik replied, "the ship is big enough for a lounge."

Artemis, Holly and Butler entered the lounge. What they saw shocked them and the Smashers who saw them were shocked too. "Who were they? Why are they here?" crossed the minds of many people.

"Uh...hello" Holly said sheepishly.

All the smashers were quiet.

"Everyone, this is Artemis, Butler, and Holly." said Sheik.

"Yea, they were the people who tried to capture us," Sonic said.

"But don't worry, they won't harm us now." Pit cheerfully said.

They smashers continued on their work. Some came and introduced themselves. A pinkish ball came up to Holly. It had red feet and blue eyes. "Awww. It's so cute!" Holly squealed, "What's your name?"

"Kaabii!!" it replied.

"Kirby?" Holly asked.

"POYO!" Kirby replied.

"Wow, that is seriously cute." said Artemis while all the while thinking "Did I just seriously say that?"

Butler chuckled then responded, "Artemis, none of us can resist how cute he is."

Artemis responded, "Well, I agree on that but what makes me curious is that that Link person said a few moments ago about not bringing him. He would have been a valuable asset to their side."

Butler replied, "Yes, I wondered about that too. Curiosity strikes the very nerve of me."

Holly said, "How could something so cute be harmful?"

"There are probably plenty of reasons Holly." Artemis replied coolly.

Someone replied behind them, "Trust me, once you see Kirby's powers, you'll know what we're talking about."

A short kid wearing a blue and yellow striped shirt walked up to them. He was wearing a red hat, short pants, and tennis shoes (Ness). "Hi, my name is Ness and I'm one of the veteran smashers here."

"Veteran?" questioned Butler.

"Smasher?" questioned Holly.

"It's a term for the previous tournaments some of us were in." Ness replied.

"So this is a fighting competition," Butler said.

"No, not really, there are more then just fighters here." Ness said, "Come, I'll introduce you to some of the Smashers." They walked over to a trio of swordsmen. Two had blue hair while the other one was Link. They glanced at them and introduced themselves.

The one with blue hair that was wielding a two-handed sword in one hand introduced himself first.

"My name is Ike and I am very skilled with a sword." He said.

"My name is Marth, Prince of Altea, and I too am skilled with a sword." The other guy with blue hair said.

"So may I ask why you intrude on us?" Ike said.

"We wanted to find out more about this mysterious ship that landed here." replied Holly.

"Captain Short!" said an earpiece in her visor. Holly visibly winced.

"I'm located in the ship, Commander." Holly said while noticing that the swordsmen were looking at her in intense concentration.

"Well, well! Glad to see you've actually done some work now. I'll get Foaly to contact you. Don't get caught Captain Short or the entire mission will be in jeopardy. And make sure that Mud boy and Butler don't keep you from doing your job." The commander said.

"Umm...Commander?" Holly questioned.

"What? I'm listening," he responded while wondering what was wrong.

"Well, I'm inside their ship because they invited me in along with Artemis and Butler. The people inside are actually pretty nice. There are a lot of them here." Holly replied, noticing that the swordsman had returned to talking as if she wasn't there and that Artemis and Butler were listening to her conversation.

"YOU WHAT!?" Commander Root yelled. Ness had also heard the entire thing and said to Holly, "You know, they can come up here to our ship. It's protected from radiation and we won't harm them."

Fortunately, Commander Root had heard them and he replied with a strain on his voice, "I'm coming up there along with Foaly, and you better not be in any trouble."

"Yes, sir," Holly replied.

"So there are more people coming to visit us." Marth quietly replied.

"Well, they were probably interested in all of you. You guys are alien to this planet." Butler replied.

Yes, I suppose so. However, the people visiting us are another fairy and a centaur perhaps. Quite interesting…

"Oh hey Lucario, How's it going?" Ness said cheeringly. The others were shocked and wondered how he got here so quickly.

Very well, thank you. Lucario replied. (A.N. Just a quick note for some people who haven't caught on, Lucario is using telepathy to talk to everyone.)

"I expect we'll meet them soon," Marth said.

So the Smashers (Link, Marth, Sheik [not Zelda yet, she hasn't transformed], Ness, Ike, and Lucario) left to meet with Commander Root and Foaly.

Meanwhile…..

"Foaly!" barked Root, "We have to go now. Captain Short may be in danger!"

"Ok! Ok! Don't blow a nerve. I'm coming." replied Foaly. They were loading into a shuttle ship and traveling to the place where they sent Holly to. Foaly was very interested in meeting these foreign individuals. He couldn't wait to get there.

They soon arrived at their destination to find a group of strange-looking people and the Mud Men with Holly. When they arrived, their backs were to the ship.

"Who are these people? I thought you said there was a lot." Root said. They hadn't yet noticed the ship.

"There is a lot sir. They're just in the ship." Holly said.

"What ship?" Foaly asked.

"The one behind you," Link said.

They both turned around and were shocked at the enormity of the entire thing.

"That ship passed our sensors?" Root said in awe, "D'Arvt! That thing is huge!"

"I agree with you. I couldn't build a ship like this if it took me a whole lifetime." Foaly said in shock, "Do you know who built it?"

"No," admitted Holly, "I haven't yet."

"Well take me to the person who built it," Root ordered, "That ship is better then anything in Koboi laboratories and anything Foaly made."

"Hey!" Foaly said with a pout.

"You know the only pout that can probably get Commander Root to agree with anything is probably Kirby's." Holly said jokingly.

"That's probably true." Ness said.

"Most of us spoil him," Link said.

"However, there are very few Smashers on our ship who don't spoil him." Sheik said while being cautious of the recent newcomers.

"Yeah, like all the villains, Meta Knight, and Lucario," replied Ike.

Though I do admit to caving in to Kirby's requests.

Foaly and Root were shocked at the voice in their heads, however, they quickly made a deduction that the dog-like thing was a psychic.

I am NOT a dog. My name is Lucario.

"Don't worry Lucario, they don't know you yet. Have you checked if they are allowed to enter the ship?" Ike asked.

Do not worry. I checked. They are how you say it, 'good to go'

"Thanks," said Marth.

"Am I missing a point here because I'd like to go inside the ship and meet the rest of this weird gang," Root said.

"Sure, follow us," Marth said, "We'll show you around."

They entered the ship.
