Everyone quickly set up the brilliant trap that Rose thought of. It was shown that the Smasher Prankster was very proud on his work leaving behind paint at ever corner he turns. It was also shown by Snake that the Prankster even colored rooms just for the fun of it without any pranks or missing items. It was then Rose figured out along with some suggestions to trap the Prankster.
The plan wasn't a very well developed plan but it was all they had anyways. They didn't have Bowser Jr's Paintbrush but they did manage to find some orange paint in the basement. After some horrible purposely artwork and some rope and a net bag they were ready to catch the culprit once and for all.
Ness was beginning to wonder where was Lucas, he did send a text to him so where could he be? He would never miss something out like this. Oh well, his loss then. The black haired boy watch Snake add the finishing touches of the trap. "Alright, everyone, it's time," he declared.
Soon everyone began to hid, Snake of course in his box, Villager, Ness, Diddy and Kirby fit in the closet, the older guys hid in the locker room but keeping the door creaked a little open with Ike's eye peeking out, the girls done the same thing and all was so quiet. Not a peep of sound.
This time they will win, this time they'll catch the prankster read handed and then we'll see who really is the prankster.
Sweats formed on the side of Link's face. He was beginning to feel nervous.
Not about the trap, about the culprit. He hasn't seen Toon at all, not a sight of him. The warrior would be lying if he said the thought never crossed his mind, if Toon Link was really behind all this. But that was still impossible.
Every Smasher in this mansion got pranked even the people who Toon Link was never close to got covered in paint. But the only one who wasn't harmed in any way was Aryll. Now that made things a little difficult for Link to believe it wasn't his counterpart.
The Hero of Twilight felt a hand on his shoulder returning him back to reality. "Link," Marth said looking at him with concern. "You need to focus," he said in a whisper.
"What... what if it Toon? What if he gets kicked out of the tournament? What am I suppose to do?" said Link covering his face as he inhaled deeply.
Marth sighed. "We still don't know that for sure," he said trying to help the hero but he kept silence. His head then immediately perked up at the sound of someone hissing in anger. It was difficult to see, his view isn't clear but there was someone here definitely and he/she was standing in front of the large wall covered in orange paint. It looked ridicules, like a childish play toy, the culprit thought.
Are they mocking me? He muttered in a very low voice as he reached out the Paintbrush. He'll show him alright, he'll show him what artwork really is. "No class at all," he complained. To think that this was all the Smashers could think of? Ha! They are getting desperate by the minute and this was just the beginning... or so he thought.
Before his hand could even wave his hand around to try and fix this ridiculousness the circled rope that he obliviously stepped into when he wanted to get a better look tighten, he felt himself being lifted into the air and wrapped in a black thick net covering his vision. He couldn't help but yelp out as he struggled over and over but this was it.
He was caught.
This long ears perked up at the sound of footsteps coming in closer and more chattering. "Oh my godness, we did it!" Zelda said laughing. Peach clapped her hands and Bowser rubbed his hands. "Alright, quite wasting time. Let's see who this dead meat is," he growled.
Mario agreed as Snake cut down the rope, Samus was in position with her gun and everyone surrounded around feeling their hearts beating. The bag then dropped down with a groan of pain. But that groan of pain was far too familiar. As the bag uncovered big catlike eyes blinked out. Link felt his heart sink. "T-toon Link," he said unbelievable. Samus lowed her arm as she stared at him.
Jaws were dropped as they looked at the young hero would wiped himself as he stood up. His mouth opened to say something but was interrupted by the doors swinging open. Lucas entered in out of breath but next to him was Toon Link? Huh? Wait just a second-
"There are two of him?!" Ganondorf said feeling like he'll have a heart attack. The Toon Link standing at the door his face harden as he grabbed his Master sword. "You imposture!" He shouted as he lunged forward.
The other Toon link wasted no time in grabbing his sword and blocking his attack meanwhile everyone was frozen as they watched the two Toons battle. Their swords clinkered against each other, it was like looking at a mirror. One Toon Link was coping the other, neither of them had the upper hand. No one bothered to step in fearing that the real Toon's life.
That was then before Samus stepped forward charging her laser. "Both of you stop it or I'll shoot!" She threatened, hearing that the two hylains stopped and looked at her. Both had frightening expression. She pointed the gun at the Toon Link at the left the one that was called an impostor, but wait wasn't it the one on the right? No it has to be the left it but what happens if she shoots the real Toon Link? This gun is more powerful to kill him.
She was sure it was the one on the left, but what about the right? How can she be so sure?
One of the Toon Link pointed at the other. "Quick Samus, shoot him! He's the fake one!" He exclaimed with an accusing finger.
The other one looked back at surprise and glared. "No, this guy's the fake!"
Toon met Samus' eye looking at her with a pleading smile. "C-come on, Samus. Y-you wouldn't sh-shot me, I'm the real Toon."
The other one pushed him. "No, I'm the real Toon."
"No, I am!"
"No, I am!"
"I am me!"
"No, I'm me!"
"Enough!" Samus' voice eurpted both the Toon's conversation, they both stood still looking nervous. "Any of that and I'll shoot, get it?" She threaten feeling her heart race. Toon Link's life is in her hands. What if she messes up?
Link was completely lost, nothing could describe his confusion, he just stood still. Marth went up to the Toons pointing his sword. "Both of you, weapons on the ground," he ordered.
Slowly, both blond boys did so, bringing out the exact same weapons the other one had. Peach looked at them. "I-I can't tell the difference," she said hopelessly.
Link looked at the both both them hoping that the real Toon Link would meet eyes with him but Peach was right they both looked so much alike. You can't tell the difference.
"Mama mia! So one of them is the fake Toon," Mario obsorved, brushing his chin was he looked very closely at one of the Toon would leaned back feeling uncomfortable by his closeness.
"And one of them is the real one," Lucas said. "He was locked up in the closet by the guy dressed up like him," he explained and now it made so much sense, kind of. Now, they have to figure out who is who.
Ness stepped up with a small clipboard. "I got this," he said looked at one of Toon suspiciously while Samus adjusted her gun.
"Alright, one of you is my laughing buddy," he said going walking around them like a lion walking around his prey. "And one of you is the jerk behind all this," he said looking at them for the slightest offense or a hidden glare at his insult but both had the same expression and a straight face.
The boy sighed and looked at his clipboard. "What's my favorite snack?"
"Cereal," they both said in perfect chorus. "You love eating those for dinner," one of them added. The other one (Real one *hint*) was sweating. What if the false one wins?
"Correct," he said eying the one that spoke up. "Okay, what kind of socks do I wear on a Monday? And why?"
"You wear your lucky white socks so then you can have a good day because you hate Mondays," they both said at the same speed.
Ness raised an eyebrow. "Correct. Now, what's nine times eight?"
"Seventy two." This time one of them said it while the other one kept quiet. Ness pointed his pen at the one who spoke up. "Ha! That's the fake!"
The Toon jumped up and waved his hands shaking his head. "No! No, I'm not him! I'm the real one, dude"
"Ya you are. Since when does Toon do math?" Ness pointed out. Samus pointed her gun at the Toon. "No! Please! R.O.B gave me subsitution! I swear! You can ask him!"
This time Samus glared at him. "We would if someone didn't take his wires and messed him up," she said in a sharp glare. Link suddenly unfroze and came in the way stopping Samus. "Just wait," he said.
"Wait?" she snapped.
Link ignored her and went up to the two. "Listen, I'm talking to the false one. Just show yourself up and I promise no harm will come to you, please," he said begging. He was just so worried that Samus might shoot the real one.
"Look, Link, step aside he's obviously not going to," the bounty hunter grumped.
Marth thought for a moment. "What if it it true?"
"It's not true. Why would that robot waste his time for a kid who never went to school?"
"I'm trying to find a reasonable explanation."
"Marth, this is not your call."
"We need evidence!" Marth insisted.
The bounty hunter glared at him. "That's not necessary."
"Would you just shut up, woman, and just shoot him already? Sheesh," said one of the Toon impatiently with his arms crossed and a bore expression but wrapped his hand in his mouth shut realizing what he just said. All eyes landed on him.
Our Toon Link at the right.
"I think we just have our evidence," Fox proclaimed.
The real Toon sighed of releif while the other one took a step back with a nervous smile. "Oh come on! Do you really believe that?" He with a panicked expression and pointed a finger at the Toon besides him. "He-he drugged me, yeah that's what he did!" He said but from the face of the Smashers they're not buying this.
Before he could react Samus fired her gun blinding the Smasher for a second. They heard a shriek of pain followed by the zapping sound of the electric laser. When it died they all saw who the culprit really is, standing in the middle of the back burnt floor is...
Cliffhanger! Did not see that coming! So this is it. In the next chapter we'll finally now who it is! So who is it? Would you have believed if Toon got lessons from ROB? And what do you think will become of our Prankster in the next chapter? Comment for more ;)
