True Master Of the Super Smash Bros part 3
"City Life,"
Master Hand was currently flying all over the castle in an attempt to get Crazy all settled in. Crazy Hand actually has stuff, who knew? Crazy was working him too. He went from one room to another. All the crazy gadgets that he put away, or dismantled that Crazy created were being pulled back out. He needed something to keep the hand busy and preoccupied. However, Crazy wasn't making it any easier with his constant nagging for him to listen. Master Hand had to construct an entirely new office, since he refused to share with Crazy. Master Hand was quite frustrated that he didn't think of this sooner. Crazy's appearance has thrown his complete agenda down the toilet. Eventually Crazy gave up on getting his brother's attention to see what the smashers were up to. He floated around the castle for a moment until he found everyone in the living room on the bottom floor. Nobody was really doing anything though.
Either they were taking a nap, or watching the giant T.V. with an unknown movie on it. Apparently, this wasn't what Crazy expected.
"So, watcha guys gonna do today?" he asked floating into the room.
"We're doing it," they all answered.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, we don't really have anything else to do," Pit said.
"Besides with Master running rampant this room is the only safe place," Marth said. Everyone knew Master Hand hated dealing with them as a group.
"But, this is so boring," Crazy whined.
"Well what do you suggest we do?" Link asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, can you give us any ideas?" Popo asked seriously.
"Well, I'm just curious since Master's gonna be preoccupied for maybe the whole day. Maybe around 24 hours,"
"What are you inkling?" Zelda asked.
"Well, I would think with Master Hand distracted you could do something you might be able to get away with, but I guess that's only if your fun like me," Everyone turned from the movie to Crazy. "Only my thought. La, la, la, la…" he said skipping out.
"Did he just bait us to do something bad?" Lucas asked.
"Basically, but we already do tones of stuff we're not supposed to," Ness said.
"And, we get punished for it," Toon added.
"But, there's a chance we can do something, and not get in trouble," Popo said.
"Yeah, but that's only a 80/20% chance," Nana told him.
"Yeah, usually its around 99.9% chance of getting caught," Falco said.
"ACTUALLY, THE CHANCE OF GETTING CAUGHT WOULD APPROXIATELY BE 200 MILLION TO 1," R.O.B. said.
"Besides this is gonna take some thinking. What rule haven't we broken yet?" Fox asked.
The movie they were watching was currently forgotten as they began to think.
Lucas came up with one. "A group visit to the city?"
Suddenly the whole room turned to him. Lucas felt completely uncomfortable under all these stares. Suddenly he regretted the idea.
"That's just plain crazy," Samus said.
"I don't-a think that's-a good one," Mario said. He too was involved in this rule breaking opportunity.
"Actually, that may be perfect!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Sonic think. Master Hand would defiantly notice if we all suddenly went missing. Not only that, but we'd get harassed endlessly," Lucario stated.
"Its called preparation. We can do this. Master thinks we're all in here anyway avoiding his wrath. Not once has he been in here, and we can wear some disguises," Sonic explained.
"That's still unwise, and would be a wasted venture," Meta Knight said.
Sonic stood up to walk to the center in order to address everyone. "Come on everyone I know you wanna go. The closes thing we get to a city is New Pork,"
"Sonic what could we do there?" Pit asked.
"Anything. We don't even have to interact with everyone. I'm curious to see what life is like outside these walls,"
"It's not that big a deal," Capt. Falcon said.
"That's because the original 12 are somewhat familiar with the city. You guys think we can't handle it?"
"(That's right)!" Jigglypuff said.
"I think we can. Come one lets just grab some disguises and head out,"
"It might be fun," Ness said. The other 11 members stared him down. "I mean no its an awful place,"
"Then lets have a vote then," Sonic said. "Everyone one whose for…" everyone beside the 12 raise their hands. "I believe it's unanimous,"
Everyone turned to the red hated plumber. Mario grumbled, and then looked at Sonic. "Fine, lets-a go to the city,"
"YEAH!" everyone cheers.
"Time for some major shopping," Peach said.
"(I hope that bakery with banna bread is still around)," DK said already licking his lips.
"(My fav karaoke bar here I come)!" Jigglypuff exclaimed.
"(That aroma therapy sounds really good right now)," Pikachu said.
"Wait, why were you guys against it then if you have places you wanna go?" Snake asked.
"Well we lead by example we don't follow the crowd," Samus said. "…And there's this cute little ice cream place I wanna go to,"
"How are we getting there?" Lucario asked.
"We can take my boat," Toon suggested. Everyone shook their head at the idea. Many smashers actually get seasick quite easily. And, Sonic is very annoying on a boat.
"My ships too big so that's out of the question. We'd be spotted easily," Meta Knight said.
"I could just teleport us there," Sonic said.
"Oh yeah like you did to get us out of subspace," Ness said.
"Don't you need a location in mind first?" Ike asked.
"Yeah, but I could just pop over to the city real quick, find a spot, then pop back to get everyone,"
"So I guess we have a plan," Link said.
"Maybe you and Zelda can actually go on a d…" Toon started, but was silence as Link covered his mouth. Zelda raised an eyebrow at her name being called. Link just smiled holding a struggling child.
"Alright operation City Life is a go!" Sonic exclaimed throwing his fist in the air. Followed by the fist and cheers of the others.
Instantly the operation was put into action. With some help from Crazy, Sonic was able to get the curse that kept him bound to the castle lifted temporarily. He ran off, far off the coast over the sea, and towards the city. The other smashers began to prepare with different disguises, some more extreme then others. Ness lent his hat to Lucas that covered his head, so he could comb his hair. He put on pants with black shoes. Finally, he put on a black leather jacket, and some shades. Lucas decided to dress like a random pokemon trainer. He borrowed Red's Pokemon belt to make it seem as if Lucario had a pokeball, and a red vest over a plain white shirt. Dark blue pants with white and red shoes. Lucario didn't have to do anything since there's more then one Lucario in the universe, but he shouldn't talk since most Lucarios haven't developed telekinetic powers like those.
Sonic popped into the room moments later.
"So we ready?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, but you need a disguise to. A big blue talking hedgehog is hard to forget," Ness said.
"True, which is why I think I have just the thing," Sonic reached into his backpack. He went into the bathroom, and then a few moments later came out. Ness, Lucas, and Lucario gaped at him.
"Meet Scourge the Hedgehog," Sonic said with a devilish smile.
Sonic put on a leather jacket with the bottom of the jacket with teeth, flames on the shoulders of the jacket, red sunglasses, different shoes, the most notable green fur, and two fake scars on his stomach.
"That's an…interesting look," Lucas said.
"Yeah, but what gave you this idea?" Lucario asked.
"Well back in the day I had to deal with an evil twin,"
"Evil twin?" they all said.
"Yeah, annoying guy. I never realized how annoying I was till I met Scourge, or how fast. I've had quite a few run ins with him,"
"Then, if he's your evil twin why do you have green fur?" Ness asked.
"He absorbed some pure Chaos energy that permantly changed him, and he got much stronger too. He became quite a handful, but nothing I couldn't handle,"
"Wow, evil twin," Ness said with his hands behind his head, and his elbows up.
"Wait, if he's your evil twin wont that make you seem like a bad guy when you go to the city?" Lucario asked.
"Must we overcomplicate things? We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Sonic said covering his eyes with his shades. Lucario folds his arms already knowing that this will be a problem later on.
They walked out there room only to see Master Hand go flying by then a sudden boom. Crazy floated by also.
"I wonder what's wrong with him. All I said was I put something in the oven for us to snack on," Crazy said to himself.
Sonic and co. decided it was best to take their leave. They meet back up with everyone downstairs in the living room. Some had on basic disguises. All they had to do was look normal, which was abnormal for them.
"Everybody ready?" Sonic asked. Everyone gave a group nod. "Alright then, Chaos Control!" Sonic said holding up a white emerald. The white Chaos Emerald let out a bright light before all the smashers vanished.
Suddenly all the disguised smashers reappeared in a spacious parking lot. Unfortunately, quite a few people were there, and saw their strange appearance. The crowd was odd looking. There were humans, lizards, blobs, and even robots. They all looked at them. The disguised smashers all began to wave at them while they all turn then ran off. They charged through the parking lot and onto the sidewalk. They were meet with less stares, but they decided to look a little less obvious.
"Sonic-," Ness began.
"I'm Scourge remember uhhh…"
"Call me Sam," Ness said.
"That the best you can come up with?"
"On such short notice yes,"
"Okay Sam what is it you wanted to say to me Scourge the Hedgehog who is not Sonic the Hedgehog,"
"Now who's being obvious?"
"Scourge what happened I thought you were going to send us to an alley," Mario said.
"Well, this city is pretty busy, and it was quite difficult to find a spot. When I came here the lot was completely empty. Don't blame me that the place comes to life after 30 seconds,"
"Well what do we do now?" Red asked.
"Can we go home?" Nana asked raising her hand.
"We've only been here for 10 seconds," Ness said.
"Yeah, and this place blows already. I mean people are staring at us like there's no tomorrow," Bowser said. Bowser only had a tie, and some glasses on. Not very creative. A little anamorphic panda came and took a closer look at Bowser. "What're you staring at!" He roared. The child ran off.
"You're so good with kids ya know that?" Scourge said. Bowser only huffed.
"This place is kinda scary…" Toon said cowering behind Link. He has on his regular outset wear.
"This is truly a marvel of architect," Marth said looking around the buildings towering over them. Marth put on a regular blue shirt with black pants, and blue suede shoes. He ditched the tiara, but he couldn't part with his blade. The same went with all the swordsman there.
The city was indeed quite beautiful. The streets are clean, the air is clean, and the buildings glass shines against the sun. Everyone seems to have hover cars here. Some cars floated above the ground others flew through the air. The buildings themselves were clearly made quite sturdy. They had to be to be made to go so high. The city sported many tall buildings, and still some construction being done. The city is very heavily populated from all sorts of creatures. The city was very hustle and bustle with all these creature trying to go about their business. On the sidewalks were a steady flow of people, as if organized. One side of the crowd moved one way while the other vice versa. This was almost like driving, with people merging in with on another.
The disguised smashers were being looked at so oddly probably because they are in such a large group, and that they're all over the place. They clearly were not aware of the rules of the sidewalk. Eventually they came to a stopping point. They took a rest in park.
The park was a lovely place. You could easily feel how natural everything is even with surrounded by so much technology. Everyone either took a seat on a bench, the ground, or a tree branch.
"Well, I'm already bored again," Popo said yawning.
"Personally, we might of wanted to come at night," Sonic said.
"Why is that?" Lucario said. His voice only heard among the smashers.
"Night life of course. The nighttime is when any city comes to life. The day is okay, but not as exciting,"
"I say we stick around for that," Ness said.
"How're we gonna keep ourselves busy for that long. The sun goes down in 5 hours," Wolf said.
"How do you know that?" Fox said.
"I'm a wolf. I prowl at night. Duh,"
"Well ignoring that, how about we split up into groups. I mean all of us walking around will draw attention. Plus, with some of the unimaginative disguises you guys have if wont be long before someone puts two and two together," Scourge said.
"Alright, we meet back here in 5 hours. We'll split into groups of four. That should be a manageable amount of people in a group. When we meet back up with discuss our next plan of action at night," Mario said.
"Sounds like a plan oh fearless leader," Scourge said.
"Okay, break off into your groups, and try not to destroy anything," Fox said.
The disguise smashers broke off into groups and went about the city. Sonic, Ness, Lucas, and Lucario began walking down the street. Many people were giving Sonic very worried looks.
"Sonic I think that disguise is building a rep for you," Ness whispered.
"I doubt it could get me in any trouble, I mean Scourge is locked up in a jail in some other dimension. He wont be an issue,"
"If you say so Sonic. Just be careful," Lucario said only letting them hear him.
They walked down the street looking for anything of interest. They came to a giant square. Lucas looked up and gaped at what he saw.
"And, I thought the T.V. in the living room is big," Lucas gaped.
All three of them looked at Lucas then at what he was looking at. They saw a giant screen. Playing an old match between Bowser, Link, Luigi, and Sonic.
"Oh, that's just a Megatron. Giant T.V. for people on the go, or for people who want to watch T.V without going home. Also used for advertisements," Ness said.
"Thank you Mr. Advertiser," Sonic said.
"Whatever, lets just hit some shops!" Ness exclaimed.
They all journeyed to the mall the perfect hang out spot. They had plenty of money and we're in the mood to splurge. They went into clothing stores, video stores and strangely enough video game stores. All four of them felt quite weird in the store. While in one store Sonic just couldn't contain himself.
"Why is my face on this box!" Sonic exclaimed. The whole store looked at him.
"He tries so hard to be just like Sonic," Ness said laughing nervously. This is why Lucas and Lucario decided to wait outside. "Sonic what's wrong with you? You can't just do that,"
"Sorry, but look at this," Sonic said practically shoving the box in Ness's face.
Ness took the box and held it farther from his face. He raised an eyebrow at it.
"Sonic Unleased…okay what's up with you?" Ness said referring to the Sonic on the box.
"That was the time I had became a werehog. I didn't want anyone to see me like that. Why in the world am I being broadcast to the world," Sonic was clearly upset.
"Chill Sonic. In this world they have people who make games based on the real life of others. I've had a game based on my adventure to. But, I only got one, you've had bunches so far,"
"I feel like a boundary has just been crossed,"
"Are ya gonna buy it?"
"…What the heck," Sonic said going to the cash register. He stopped abruptly upon realizing something. "Ne- I mean Sam do they have games on the smash tournament?"
"What're you kidding of course. The latest one is right here," Ness said grabbing a box with the title 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' on it. Sonic took it from him then looked it over. He decided he'd buy this to, but that wasn't his only reason for asking the question.
"Do they have games based on the older tournaments?"
"Yeah, of course,"
"Even the first?"
Ness started to understand what Sonic was getting at. "I doubt the game will reveal our past Sonic," Ness said lowly.
"It might you never know. What've we got to lose?"
"Our lives,"
"Don't be so melodramatic,"
Sonic began to quickly, but subtly look around the whole store for the game. He didn't understand all this system stuff, but he'd figure it out later. But no matter how he searched he couldn't find what he was looking for. Eventually he went over the counter to an anamorphic pig was. He had a name tag that read 'Charles'.
"Listen…Charles I need some help,"
Charles typed something in his computer then looked at Sonic. Instantly his face dropped and he began sweating bullets. Sonic is only oblivious to this, or trying to ignore it.
"Listen, I need a game,"
"Y-Y-You ca-can take whatever you want!" he said quickly.
"That's sweet of you, but I only need one game. Could ya help me out?"
He nods quickly.
"Okay listen I need Super Smash Bros., but I need the first one,"
"The very first smash brothers,"
"Yeah, you got it?"
"S-S-Sir we…no longer carry that game in stores," He squirmed back as if preparing to be strike.
"Darn! Now how am I suppose to get it?" Sonic looked very frustrated.
"But you can buy on the Wii shop channel of your Wii. Yeah, do you have one?"
"I don't know. Hey Sam do we have a Wii back home?"
Ness came over from scanning games to the counter. "Of course we have a Wii Scourge,"
"Sorry I asked. Then I'll just get these two games. So, how much I owe ya?"
"N-No charge!"
"Seriously? Naw you messin with me. I know I look like Sonic the hedgehog, but trust me I wouldn't be caught dead even in the same room with that guy,"
"Seriously, you don't have to pay,"
Sonic instantly started sweating. "Listen pal take the cash, and you better not tell anyone I was here got it!" Sonic said forcibly.
Charles squealed like a pig then hit the floor. Sonic dropped a hundred on the counter took a bag himself and walked out the store with Ness behind him.
"Now what was that about?" Ness asked nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets.
"I think he may've saw through my disguise. We'd better leave,"
"Uh, where's Luke and Lucario?" Ness asked looking around the mall.
Lucas and Lucario were sitting on a bench outside with other bags that had been purchased skateboards, clothes, and other accessories. Now it would seem only the bags were still there. Ness and Sonic collected the items then went in search of their pals. However, they weren't in the mall at all. They were actually down the street at what looked like a pokemon battlefield.
Lucas and Lucario were waiting on their friends, when suddenly a pushy Pokemon Trainer came up to them asking for a battle. Of course Lucas refused being that he's no real trainer, but the guy wouldn't leave unless he had a battle with Lucario. Lucario didn't care either way, probably because he knew he'd cream whatever this Trainer had in his arsenal. So, here they were on a battlefield waiting for the Trainer to throw out his pokemon. They decided to have a one on one battle, seeing as Lucas didn't really have any pokemon with him save Lucario.
"You ready Luke?" said the trainer who introduced himself as Daimian.
"As I'll ever be," Lucas said.
"Stay confident, besides this should be easy. You wouldn't even have to udder a word to me. Since we both have telekinetic powers," Lucario said only focusing his thoughts to Lucas.
"Yeah, but that's cheating it wouldn't be fair. Besides it might be fun. Red showed me a thing or two about pokemon battles. And, since this is a pokemon battle and not a brawl the rules are probably different,"
"Different?"
"Yeah, you know how to fight may be. You may have the moves, but they may not come out the same way,"
"I get what your saying. Well since we'll be battling this way my moves are Aura Sphere, Pound, Double Kick, Extremespeed, Metal Claw. Double Team, Close Combat, and Force Palm,"
"What's Metal Claw, and I think I know what Close Combat is?" Lucas asked. He's very familiar with all Lucario's moves except this one.
"It's a move I had before I came here. If I had to guess, I might lose some moves too,"
Both Lucas and Lucario focused on the Daimian.
"Alright lets go Infernape!" he called throwing a pokeball. In a bright flash of light a big monkey appeared, with a flame fuming on his head, and his hands. A long orange tail with an orange muzzle, white fur on his torso, hands, and feet.
"Hey just like Charizard," Lucas said.
"You could say that, but you'll find I have a type advantage,"
"He does?" Lucas telepathed to Lucario. Lucario merely turned to him and nods.
"I'm a metal and fighting type. Infernape is a fighting type as well, but his fire attribute trumps my metal,"
"You sure you can do this Lucario?" Lucas asked out loud this time.
Lucario turns and nods.
"You can have the first attack Luke,"
"A-Alright, Lucario use uh Aura Sphere?"
Lucario's quite used to Lucas's unsure nature, but even he was thrown of a bit by his lack of confidence. He charged an Aura Sphere then threw it.
"Dodge!" Daimian ordered. Infernape obeyed. "Now use Flame Wheel!"
Infernape began to spin Sonic the hedgehog style also surrounding his whole body in flames then rushed at Lucario.
"Dodge it," Lucas called. Lucario smoothly sidestepped the attack. "Not counter with an Aura Sphere,"
Lucario fired an Aura Sphere behind the flame wheel. Suddenly, the wheel changed direction taking a sharp turn left. Lucario fired, but missed his mark. Infernape came back around and nailed Lucario in his side. Lucario hit the ground hard. Infernap stopped spinning and took his position on the other side of the battlefield.
"Lucario are you alright?"
Lucario staggered getting up.
"Wow this is too easy, alright Infernape use Mach Punch,"
Infernape's fist began to glow as he charged toward Lucario. Lucas panicked not knowing what to do.
"Lucas think of this as a brawl. You're a great brawler as well. Put yourself in my position, and plan accordingly," Lucario instructed as he began to rise.
Lucas began to think. "Alright Lucario get 'up'," Lucas said. Putting special emphasis on up. Lucario nods in understanding.
When Infernape got close, Lucario used his get up attack, which was a sweep kick. Infernape fell back on his feet though.
"Use pound!"
Lucario brought his tail up then slammed it into Infernape's stomach. Infernape slid across the ground, but bounced up onto his feet.
"Okay getting a little fight huh. Alright Infernape use Close Combat!"
"You too Lucario!"
Both Pokemon charged head on. Lucario threw punch, but Infernape ducked. Infernape tried to send an uppercut into Lucario's chin, but Lucario quickly moved to the side. Lucario tried a spin kick, but Infernape preformed a back flip avoiding the kick.
"Block and back throw," Lucas said.
Lucario smiled at the command. He blocked Infernape's punch with his right arm. Then he grabbed his fur then turned sharply throwing Infernape into the ground.
"Now Aura Sphere,"
Lucario charge an Aura Sphere real quick then threw it at the downed Infernape.
"Knock it away!" Daimian ordered.
Infernape turned swinging his arm knocking the Aura Sphere away. Lucas forgot how easy it is to deflect them.
"Use Flamthrower!"
Lucas knew just what that looked like, and knew first hand it hurt. "Lucario roll!"
Lucario instantly moved out of the way of the flamethrower. "Now charge!"
Lucario began sprinting toward Infernape. Infernape kept shooting flames out its mouth at Lucario. Lucario dodged and weaved through the flames. One good shot with aura sphere and this battle would be done. Lucario was getting pretty close now.
"Gotcha now use Flame Wheel!" Daimian ordered.
Infernape began to spin surrounded with flames.
"Lucario use Force Palm!" Lucas ordered finally getting into the battle.
Infernape came charging at Lucario. Lucario pushed it's right paw out. The second Lucario's paw made contact with the flames he winched, but he unleashed his force palm attack. Now in the brawl area he was able to focus it into a short burst at long range. At close range he could deliver a very powerful punch once he grabbed an unlucky smasher at close range. Now, in the battle area the attack had a slightly more, explosive side.
When Lucario touched the flame wheel there's a big explosion. A thick cover of smoke covered the pokemon. This was Lucario's chance.
"Now Lucario use Close Combat!" Lucas said. Lucas knew with Lucario's aura he can sense out Infernape no matter what. He also knew Infernape did not have such an ability. This became Lucario's advantage.
The sounds of grunts were heard, along with many fighting sounds. Infernape burst from the smoke with bruises. Lucario calmly walked out while opening his eyes.
"Okay now finish it with Aura Sphere, and when its fully charge throw him off to fire it,"
Daimian was very flustered. This Lucario is probably the strongest Lucario he's battle nay he's ever seen. It fought with precision, strength, and it's trainer gave it confusing directions, that strangely it followed with maximum results. He needed to act quickly.
"Infernape use Overheat!"
Lucario's eyes narrowed. He was familiar with this move. He heard that this is supposed to be the most powerful fire attack there is. However, it's only at its most powerful when its first fired. Not only does it get weaker after the first shot, but the attack strength of the pokemon may drop. Lucario still held his charged Aura Sphere. Infernape fired an intense flaming attack. It was so hot the fire's a hot white. As soon as it came in contact with Lucario he…disappeared! Both trainer and pokemon gaped. Lucario came from the side with a sweep kick knocking Infernape in the air. He then fired his fully charged Aura Sphere. It exploded on contact. Lucario turned as the beaten Infernape hit the ground.
"Infernape!" Daimian exclaimed rushing to his side.
"Way to go Lucario!" Lucas exclaimed grasping his paw to shake it. Lucario smiled.
"That was a great battle Luke. We should do it again sometime," Daimian said with Infernape now it's feet albeit barley. "No offense but I thought you were a pretty weak trainer, but I see that was only your strategy. Your Lucario is something else,"
"Lu," Lucario said in his native tongue. Lucas was able to translate that as thanks.
"You fought well to Infernape," Lucas said.
"Infer, Infernape,"
Lucas could translate that into a 'thanks, but next time will be different'. Lucas nods.
"Hey Luke, Lucario!" called a voice. They both turn to see Ness and Sonic waving.
"We better go. Thanks for the battle," Lucas said waving. He and Lucario walked over to their friends.
"Well that was some battle," Ness said.
"Oh you saw that?"
"Most of it,"
"Well that was fun, but lets go meet with the others," Sonic said.
"Yeah," Ness said.
"It looked like you were struggling a bit there Lucario old buddy. You losing you touch?" Sonic teased.
"Remember who your talking to here," Lucario replied.
"Uh guys," Lucas and Ness said.
"What?" Sonic asked.
"We may have come to that bridge Sonic mentioned earlier," Ness said.
Sonic and Lucario just now realized that they were surrounded by police officers, and swat teams. They all point there guns in there direction.
"All of you stay where you are! Scourge the Hedgehog, you are under arrest, and will be placed in permanent confinement! You will surrender!" called the presumed Lutinant.
"So, about that bridge crossing," Ness, Lucas, and Lucario said looking at Sonic.
