Back to present day…

Link and Mario were exploring the base that had replaced the castle. The guards were nothing special and were taken down with a few combos.

"Hey!" said a voice. Mario turned to Link and saw a small blue light with wings floating around him. "Look over there link!" said Navi and Link turned to see a big metal door with the words DO NOT ENTER printed in big red letters.

Mario and Link ran down the corridor with Navi following closely. Link tried the door but an electronic voice said "Identification of commander". Link and Mario turned to each other.

"I-sa got this" said Mario and pulled out his F.L.U.D.D.

After a short charge, the fludd shot a jet of water all over it. The circuits of the door began to spark and crackle. Soon the door gave way and fell backwards off its hinges. "Commander... Keramon... confir..." the computer said in an increasingly deeper voice as it short circuited.

Mario and Link had arrived in what appeared to be the central power room. There were buttons and gadgets everywhere. Mario ran over to a nearby monitor with a keyboard attached began typing. He had found a whole folder full of documents for random machinery such as; the brawnbots, a "shadow-trans-meet-ograph" and a..."Hammerspace gateway?"

Mario opened the file and there was images of a large metal wall with an orb jutting out of it. The orb was half open and inside it there was a purple whirling pattern that looked like the portal on the palm of the Dark Hands. And sure enough there were dark hands growing from the orb, just like the cannonball. Link read the screen aloud.

"By activating at least 4 Hammurs beacons outside of the main base one, the gateway will open and allow Hammerspace to return." He read.

"What's-a-that supposed to mean?" asked Mario.

"I have no idea. But it can't be good." Link replied. He drew his sword and turned to face one of the power columns. "According to the designs, this is one of the Hammurs beacons" he said and without another word, Link ripped straight through it with his sword. He smirked at the damage he caused and then the smile faded as a siren began to blare.

"All personnel to evacuate immediately! Base destruction imminent!" Said the Tannoy system. Mario face palmed.

"Think about-a what-a you do next time!" He said before toadstool jumping link and running towards the exit. Link managed to catch up just in time to bump into a crowd of robots and Dark Hands trying to escape too.

Link tossed his boomerang at a group of hands and Mario set it on fire with his fireballs. Link started going after the robots with a load of bombs while Mario grabbed a Dark Hand by the middle finger and spun it round Mario64 style before making it crash into the rest of the hands. Link was having some trouble with the last robot. His sword had been wrestled from his grip and his bomb bag was lying on the other side of the robot.

"I'll help for once Link!" said Navi and she flew out of her hiding place and flew around the robots head very fast. She stopped spinning but the robot had been blinded by the bright light whooshing past it's head. Mario retuned to the good old days and finished the robot off by crushing it with a hard jump to the head.

Link grabbed his sword and hid Navi in his hat. "Now let's get out of here!" he shouted and the two of them sprinted to the door. Mario busted it down with a fly kick at the same time as one of Link's bombs and they got out just as the place blew to pieces.

Mario and Link looked at the wreckage and knew that they had to stop the other Hammurs beacons...

Samus' ship flew up to the massive floating ship. She had spent the week preparing for her journey. Like making sure her power suit was as powerful as it could be. She had made sure she had her final smash sticker in case a situation called for the zero laser. The ship had managed to sneak right up next to an airlock without being detected. The roof of her ship opened up and Samus exited.

Nameplate: Power suit Samus

She activated her scan visor and used it to analyse the airlock. She found the unlocking mechanism and the airlock slid open. Samus slipped inside and her ship flew off and landed on top of the Slabship in case a quick getaway was need.

Samus was trying her hand at stealth. It wasn't her thing and she was used to blasting anything that got in her way. She was doing rather well. She had nearly been caught at one point by some robots. They all had a different number printed on them and they were all different colours. Her scanner called them "E-100 Series robots"

Samus continued searching until she found a doorway with a sign that said "Main Hammurs base 2 surveillance room". Samus decided that this would be the best way to find the prisoners of the Slabship, or as it is actually know, the main Hammurs base 2.

She couldn't hack into the room so she blasted it down with her charge beam. It may not have been stealthy but it worked. Samus was soon surrounded by the multi-coloured E-robots. She then realised that while there were millions of colours, black and red had not been used at all. She didn't have time to think though so she instantly grappled the nearest one and used it as a wrecking ball and knocked down the closest robots. She then used missiles to blast a couple of them and blew one up with a fully charged charge beam.

She then turned into the morph ball and slipped into the room un-noticed and left behind a bomb. All the remaining robots exploded and their wreaked framework fell to the floor. She began to walk away when she noticed that the robots were opening. Samus held out her cannon as if she was expecting another enemy.

The robots opened up and small animals like rabbits and birds managed to climb out and run away from their robotic prisons. Samus seemed confused as the little animals ran off but didn't let it faze her. (After all she had a mission to do).

Samus looked at the surveillance screens of the ship. She saw patrolling robots, the bridge of the ship (completely empty for some reason) and then she saw somthing that caught her eye. Samus looked at the screen on the upmost right and there was another one of the E-Series robots half built, but it was red. She didn't understand why there were multiple of the other colours but there was only one that was red.

Nameplate: E-102 Gamma

Samus looked at the screen as another figure walked onto the screen. He has a fat, bald man with a red jacket, black trousers and boots. Plus a big, bushy moustache and small glasses that completely covered his eyes.

Nameplate: Dr Ivo Robotnik (Dr Eggman)

"Oh, hohoho!" laughed Eggman. "Soon my most loyal robot will be revived. And this time, Sonic WILL be destroyed and the boss may allow me to build Eggmanland in smashville! E-114, bring me an animal to power gamma with!" He monolouged. A white E-Series robot walked in holding Pikachu's trophy and handed it to Robotnik. He shoved it inside of Gamma and his eyes began to glow.

"Now we must give him time to charge up his power" Eggman said and he walked away with E-114 following him. Samus stared at the screen in shock. Her lead had paid off and it turned out that the brawlers that had been sucked up by the palm vortex had just been sent to the Slabship.

Samus had to get to the robot known as Gamma so she could rescue her old friend Pikachu...

OOC NOTES TIME:
