Gamer4 in. Well, I don't have much to say. Well, this is the third chapter to Super Smash Bros. Brawl novelization. Again, I haven't played any games in brawl except Zelda, Mario, Wario, and Yoshi, so if I get facts about the other games wrong, it's probably because I haven't played those games before. So here's the third chapter.

Chapter 3

Mario turned to see a figure completely robed, with a hood over his head. Mario couldn't see any of him, except for his eyes, which were glowing. He was floating on a platform above the ground. Below him, a couple of magnets were holding a metal sphere with a red X on the front, and what looked like handles on either side. He looked down at them, and Mario spoke. "Who are you?" The figure looked at them, then he spoke too.

"I am the Ancient Minister. Leave now, and you will be spared."

"Spared from what?" Zelda asked. "What are you going to do?"

"Leave now, or you will perish," the Ancient Minister repeated.

"How?" asked Peach. "What do you mean, 'you will perish'?"

"We're not leaving," said Kirby, looking up defiantly. "Why should we?"

"You have been warned," the Ancient Minister said, and, looking grim (though it was hard to tell when they couldn't see his face,) the magnets lifted, releasing the sphere, which fell to the ground. The Ancient Minister flew back to the ship, and as he did, two robots came and put their arms into the handles on either side. The heads were rectangular, the eyes completely round, and lit blue. There was a red light blinking on top, and their arms were attached to another piece, which was stuck to the main body. Instead of legs, there was a platform underneath them that was attached to where the waist was on a human. With their arms in the handles on the sphere, they pulled it open, revealing what was inside.

For a brief moment, electricity surrounded the inside, and when it cleared, they saw what looked like a tube inside. In the tube was a sphere made of something they couldn't identify. But what caught their attention was what was under the tube: a small, rectangular screen that looked like the screen on a digital clock. A timer.

"A bomb!" Mario said, and, without thinking, he charged at it.

"Wait, Mario!" Kirby shouted, starting forward.

Too late. Something that looked like a cannonball was fired out of nowhere. It hit Mario, and he went flying. Kirby watched him fly up into the clouds. "Well, that sucks," he said, looking around to find another surprise waiting for him. In front of him was what looked like a giant plant, with a green and red body, a head that was round without any eyes, with a great mouth with sharp teeth in it. Kirby had to keep himself from laughing at the flower petals around the thing's head. Then he realized that the thing had two cages in his leaf arms (the arms were literally leaves in the sides of its body) and in the cages were the two princesses. "What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know!" shouted Peach, who was clutching the bars of the cage. "When Mario went flying, and you were looking the other way, these cages fell on us, and Petey grabbed the cages!"

"Petey?" Kirby snorted as he backed away from the thing. "What do you mean, Petey?"

"Mario fought him!" Peach called back. "On Delfino Island, this thing tried to kill him!"

"Good to know," muttered Kirby, still backing away. "How did he beat him?" he shouted.

"He took his water shooter-" Peach started, but Kirby cut her off.

"We're a little short on water shooters!" he said.

"Then what are you going to do?" asked Zelda.

"I guess I'll just have to fight him head-on, won't I?" Kirby shouted, fear making him sound harsher then normal. And he charged.

"Petey" swung Zelda's cage at Kirby, who jumped out of the way. Kirby got closer, and tried to punch the plant thing, but it blocked with Zelda's cage. Kirby hesitated when he saw that he'd put a dent in the cage. The plan instantly formed in his mind, and he charged at Petey again, pretending to aim for the creature's head. As he expected, Petey blocked with a cage again, this time Peach's. Again, a dent was put in the bars. Kirby smiled, realizing he could free them. Next, he charged at Zelda's cage, deciding to free her first, because she was more powerful, and would probably be more help in the fight. He swung some punches at it, and it creaked as it weakened. But just as Kirby was just about to swing a smash attack, Petey jumped in the air, and Kirby, realizing what was about to happen, jumped back just in time. Petey crashed down right where Kirby had just been standing. Kirby jumped towards Petey's head again, and Petey protected himself with the both cages this time. Kirby brought down another smash attack, and heard one of the bars of Zelda's cage break. He kept fighting, hoping the cages would give way soon. Petey jumped again, and tried to crash onto Kirby, and this time, Kirby wasn't fast enough. He flew back a little bit, but got to his feet again. Petey saw him get up, and swung Peach's cage at him. He jumped away, and the cage crashed into the ground, losing a bar in the process. Kirby decided to free one this time. He charged at Petey's face, but just as he was about to hit, he swerved to hit Zelda's cage again, and the cage broke apart. Zelda landed on the ground next to him. "You could have been quicker!" she shouted, and Kirby realized that the princesses had been swinging around in those cages. He had just been too into the fight to notice them.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly.

"It's that thing you should be worrying about!" shouted Zelda, and she threw what appeared to be a handful of fire at Petey, who started blazing. Peach's cage dropped and broke on the ground. Peach fell onto the ground from the impact. Petey fell back, still on fire, and the rest turned their backs on him, leaving him to burn.

"Are you okay, Peach?" Kirby shouted out.

"I'm fine," Peach said, getting to her feet, and was immediately proven wrong by what happened next. There was a crash, and they turned around, thinking what now?

A man had jumped to the ground, and was looking at them all like he was deciding who to take out first. He was short and fat, with a large nose and crooked moustache, and pointed ears. He wore a torn coat, jeans, gloves that only covered his palms, and a hat of some kind that was completely yellow except for a white circle on the front with a W in it, Mario-style. He was carrying a giant gun of some kind, which was bigger than he himself was. And right now, he was pointing it right at Kirby and Zelda. "Well, what have we here?" he asked himself, laughing.

"Leave them alone, Wario!" shouted Peach, looking up.

"Hey, Peach," Wario said, turning around to face her. "Long time, no see." And he charged up the gun and shot her. A black arrow came out, and it hit Peach. She was blasted back, and when she hit the ground, she had been turned into a trophy. "Another one for the Master Hand," said Wario, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.

"The Master Hand?!" shouted Kirby at Wario. "Is that who you're working for?!"

Wario just laughed and jumped, and he was gone.

"Come on!" Zelda said, and ran after Wario.

"Umm, Zelda?" Kirby said, remembering the bomb as he ran after her. "What about the bomb?" As he said it, he looked back and saw that the timer said there were 5 seconds left. Kirby jumped for Zelda just as she turned back, and the bomb exploded.

Instead of a regular explosion, what looked like a giant sphere of pure darkness erupted from it, and began to grow. It grew to contain the whole stadium, sucking everything in as it went. And instead of fading like a normal explosion, it stayed just as big when it had consumed the stadium. Out of it flew a yellow 5-pointed star, and holding on to it's rounded points was a round, pink puffball and a human-like figure with brown hair and pointed ears.

Kirby and Zelda were escaping on a warp star.
