The Training

So very sorry for such a big delay, but I've wanted to get a chance to get brawl before updating. Please forgive me. I hope this chapter was worth waiting for. I hope, an I sure you do to, that I'll get the next one done sooner.

Getting ready…

"What?" John said, still suspicious

"It all started six months ago…

We were getting ready for Brawl and so we needed to make many changes to the characters. We needed to make trophies of them as prizes, but we were running out off time, so Crazy hand made a crazy idea. He said we should clone the smashers, and then make the clones into trophies. And to my endless shame, I agreed. We decided to make a prototype of three clones for each smasher. Then Crazy revealed his real plan. He had changed the DNA and made the clones evil, ("Yeah, that's original (!)" Jake whispered as a snide comment.) And made them kidnap the originals, and finally brainwashed the originals, so now they guard the path to his palace. It is because of that I can't get to it and save them, and there is no-one to help me, except for…" and then master hand pointed to a robot sitting in the corner, "this robot that was here when I made this mansion. It appeared out of nowhere, and now shall never see a single battle, since there is no-one to fix him." Somehow, a sad face seemed to appear onto the hand. "With out the heroes to protect the lands of Nintendo, this world can be attacked at any moment. The lands of Saga won't attack, but Sony and Microsoft will overcome us with there characters as soon as they find out we are defenceless. We only have the small heroes, the old heroes and new ones with no skills. Without a leader, or without the heroes' skills and tactics, we will be wiped out in a few months. I have been forced to make a vortex in the void to get players who can help us. The skills are in the characters, but the thing that was most needed was courage. The only way someone could show that was to risk putting more turnips then they should of, even at the danger of their wii/gamecube crashing!"

Josh, Jake and Lee all shifted nervously as John gave a death gaze to them and asked the hand "So the only reason we're here is because we put to many turnips in the black hole? So if someone or some people had listened carefully, we wouldn't be here?"

"Wait," said Master Hand "Your not here on purpose? Well, you will have to do."

"No deal!" Jake shouted.

"Wait, we need to save Sam! She came in with us, but she didn't change!"

"Didn't change?!" Master said, suddenly alarmed "This is bad, I made sure that who ever was coming in here would change into the character they were playing as, but since all the characters that are needed are here, she must have been in the room with you."

"So we need to find her-" Lee started to say.

"In 10 days!" Master completed "In 11 days, any non-game characters will not me able to live on pixel air. You have got to save her before then. You have to change her into a character." Master hand explained.

"We can change our characters?" Josh asked.

"Of course you can…" Master hand started to say, before Lee and Jake bowled at him.

"Change me, Change me!" They both yelled.

"Hold it!" John said, for some reason pointing it's finger, I think it should go in this order, Jake, Lee, Josh and Me last, since I'm not sure who to change into. I don't care how much you like to have a weapon; you need to be your best character to be at your full power."

"Actually, I have four changing capsules ready!" MH said, "As I knew to make the black hole glitch work, you needed to choose specific characters."

""Changing capsules"?" Jake said, obviously not impressed.

"Do you want to stay like that, your Royal Highness, Princess Peach?"

"…Lets see them." Jake said.

Changing capsules actually suited the design perfectly, as the looked like the capsules containing items with red bits at either end, with the pink part at the top and the white part at the bottom. The pink end slid off, meaning the smashers would have to climb into the white end. Josh and John could get in easily, while Lee, being smaller then the others had to climb over the white end to get in, and promptly fell on his head. Jake, being taller then the others, was able to step in it, but had to lift his skirt first. The others could not help but laugh at this.

The top suddenly screwed back on, and somehow righted Lee so he faced a computer with two screens, one on the bottom, and one on the top. The top one showed a version of Ness, standing on a trophy stand with a bat in hand, striking something invisible, while on the bottom it showed a screen saying "touch me". When he did he saw the character select screen and he heard the words "Choose your character!" After a bit he found he had to drag a cursor on the character he wanted. He new who he was best at, so he went for Link. The screens turned black with some red words and the same voice saying "Waiting for others to join the battle!"

Josh saw a trophy of Fox, firing at some sort of enemy, and cursed that he wouldn't get to do that. He had to choose his best character, and so settled his curser on a pink blob.

Jake looked at the top screen. He couldn't help but be disgusted by the taunt that he himself had pulled at least three times. He immediately went to the character he had the most experience in, Mario.

It was John who was holding all the others up, as he couldn't decide who he should be, as he was fairly good at all the characters. He looked at the statue of Falco, and he knew he couldn't stay as him. The way he stood He was a smart boy, so he needed someone smart, and with the selection of characters in front of him there weren't many choices. Should he choose the boy genius Ness, or perhaps, the technical genius Samus? It was all so hard! Then John looked at the pokemon Mewtwo. He could not understand why he was always thought of as evil. He had watched the movie when he was little, and had always thought that in the end, he did what was best for everyone. John had made his mind up. He went and dragged his cursor so the top screen showed a statue of Mewtwo.

Flaa-ee-aa-ee-aa-ee-aash!

John was the first out. He had a tail, pointy ear like… things and a startling new IQ, but he didn't like it. He felt naked, even if he had nothing to see, so to say. How ever, as he had the power of illusions, he decided to make people think he had a simple pair of jeans on. Unfortunately, it turned into a pair of boxers. He tried again, and he got a pair of green shorts. He tried once more and finally got some jeans.

Next out was Josh, the pink puff! Not Jigglypuff, but Kirby. He looked around, trying to get a good view of himself, but only tripping over. He gave a huff, and looked at the other two capsules.

Next out was…Mario, basking in his originality. He looked around, and suddenly realized that his hand was on fire.

"Jeez!" Said Jake, firing out a fireball. It went straight to John, who teleported to the side, swearing, and Josh dodged left, which meant the fireball was going straight to the robot, and who knew how it would react!

Suddenly, Lee was diving in front of it, as Link, and blocked the flame with the shield.

"…"

"What?" Said Jake.

"…"

"Isn't it obvious? He's swearing at you!" John said, and the ears of every one in the room didn't hear, but somehow knew what he had said.

"…Telepathy?" Jake asked.

"I think so. Wait a second…" John then closed his eyes, and in exactly a second, a sudden sharp noise hit everyone's head.

"Jake you little, nauseas rowdy YOUTH!!"

"I believe it's worked…"

Beep…Beep…Beep…

"So, this is the subspace bomb?" Said Jake

"Yes." Was all that master hand said.

Beep…Beep…Beep…

"So, even though this thing destroys everything, at the same time, it connects them at the same time, creating a path to Crazy Hand?

"Yes."

Beep…Beep…Beep…

"And due to a freak anomaly, Items will appear randomly?"

"Yes."

Beep…Beep…Beep…

"And we have to kill anyone in our way?"

"Yes."

Beep…Beep…Beep…

"And your being controlled by…?"

"Yes."

Beep…Beep…Beep…

Suddenly, Jake fired out a fireball, John fired out a shadow ball, Josh threw a sword, and Lee threw a boomerang. All of these projectiles hit one of the strings controlling Master Hand. Not wasting a second, Josh inhaled the hand, and spat him outside the door. John created a barrier, and Lee stabbed the bomb…

Beep…Beep…

There was so much sound, but no one heard it. All any one could do, was let it take them. There was nothing. And suddenly, there was a voice. It went…
