Well, we've ditched the legend, because if you have followed up this far, we're sure you've memorized it by now! Another one to remember is this one for Episode 5:
"This indicates the speaker is a fairy – so it could be Navi, Tsukiko or Tallys speaking. Remember this for Episode 5, because we're now deleting the Legend!"
Feel free to ask any questions, and we will answer all that we can! … Also, if you feel the need to guess at which Smashers a Smash Generation character's parents are, feel free! They all have both parents planned. (Well… except for one… and he's not even introduced yet… XD)
Questions:
Raxas' little brother: Why were the Smash Generation brought to 2009 if Master Hand knew about the attack?
Raxas: Well Kevin (Not his real name), Master Hand figured that the Smashers could use a little back up, so he brought the next strongest people of their dimension to help out, hence, their kids. He couldn't go get Cloud Strife, or Naruto, since they live in different dimensions and are ruled by a different entity, so he stuck with his own dimension and went to the future. That's why the Smash Generation was brought to 2009 – in the disguise of a tournament. Not only did this make a good reason to keep the Smashers together, it also brought the enemy to them! Smart, eh?
Axann's mother: If Ike is Shaun's father, who's his mother?
Axann: That's a major plot point and can't be released yet. I can tell you that it will be revealed eventually in the story. You just have to be patient!
(Series opening theme: Brawl, main theme – Subspace Emissary level.)
Episode Four:
THOSE WHO ARE GIFTED! BROTHERS REUNITED!
Shaun had never been more irritated in his entire life. Oh, wait, yes he has. However, at this time, the only other person besides Dakota that could make him irritated was Karasu - and, to be put specifically, Karasu taking control of Jojo. As he dodged the icy attacks coming from the parka wearing boy, he thought of any solution that could easily defeat Jojo without hurting him severely.
"Have you ever wondered why I am able to control this boy's mind?" asked Karasu through Jojo's voice and mouth. Shaun turned towards him, blocking an attack from an icy cold wind.
"No," replied Shaun honestly.
"This boy's mind is weak," explained Karasu (Jojo). "Whoever raised him had no mind to train his mind and brain. Jojo and his sister, Yaya, are easy to control this way. However, if I were to go after... say... Dakota, Cain, you or Maven, your strong disciplined minds would be difficult to manoeuvre through to the control part of the brain. My consciousness will never make it through."
"You mean the part you take over?"
"Yes," Karasu smiled Jojo's sneer. "That is correct." At that time, Jojo removed his hammer, and slammed it down on the ground hard; causing a sort of mini earthquake that caused Shaun to nearly lose his footing.
Jojo then quickly fired an Ice Shot, which fell to the ground and skidded across it towards Shaun. Shaun quickly dodged before racing up to Jojo and hitting him with the butt end of his blade. Jojo quivered, but didn't fall.
Usually by now, Jojo would have used a move where he spun in a circle using his hammer. That was when Shaun realized that he was at an advantage – Yaya wasn't here, which meant Jojo couldn't do his usual moves.
Smacking his hammer to the ground once more, Jojo caused another little earthquake. Shaun jumped up a little to avoid the shockwaves, and then raced up once more to hit Jojo on the head. This time, there was an affect that caused Jojo to collapse on the ground.
Jojo swung his hammer at Shaun once more, this time hitting him and knocking Shaun back into a pointy rock. Gasping in pain, Shaun looked up at Jojo and smacked his blade across the ground, causing a vibration that knocked Jojo off his feet.
This didn't stop Jojo from wielding his hammer once more, and he swung it around, hitting Shaun. Flying back, Shaun hit the ground a good distance away from the parka boy, but he quickly retaliated and smacked his blade on the ground similar to how Jojo had earlier.
The resulting scar across the ground caused a sort of energy to erupt from the ground, hitting Jojo square on the face.
"Ugh!" He fell back instantly. "You will not defeat me!"
Shaun didn't really reply. His only answer to Karasu's sentence was smacking Jojo's head with the handle of his blade. Jojo's eyes rolled back into his head, and he was knocked out.
"It's over," Shaun stated.
That was when, out of Jojo's nostrils came a dense black fog that rose up and swam through the air. Shaun watched as it wrapped around Jojo and, bringing the parka boy with it, lapsed into the ground. His reaction time now slow, Shaun hadn't moved until it became apparent that Karasu wasn't returning with Jojo.
"Damn," he silently cursed, before turning around and realizing that he had no idea where to go from where he was. "... ... ... Crap..."
*
"I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE ARE!!!" exclaimed a distraught Cain, who was now freaking out and bawling on the ground, a river of tears erupting from her eyes. Aine was embarrassed, and was trying to calm her down.
"Give it up, Cain, no one does," Aden deadpanned, as he looked out onto the horizon for any sign of Shaun.
"BUT I'M SO USED TO KNOWING WHERE I'M GOING! IT'S HORRIBLE!" cried Cain.
Zelda and Samus were busy blocking their ears from the eardrum-splitting screams, while Link was too busy cringing at the memory of Redeads. Seth watched, unfazed.
"Cain! Over there!" Johan suddenly announced, causing everyone to turn to his direction. Johan was pointing over to a town in the distance.
Link and Zelda's eyes widened.
"Castle Town?!" Zelda exclaimed. "How did we end up near Castle Town?! Weren't we just in Smash World?"
"The time travel we did must have caused rifts everywhere," Aden guessed. "Our time travel isn't really perfected yet. We must have passed through a rift sending us near Castle Town."
"So you're saying we created teleportation rifts?" Aine asked. "That's so weird."
"We've seen weirder," Aden replied, looking at his sister with a grin. "We've seen Dakota beating up Shaun."
This caused the four Smashers to look at the two oddly, especially Link and Zelda.
"Dakota? You mean that violent girl who watched the fight with us? She can beat up Shaun?" Zelda asked.
"Oh, not on a daily basis," Aden explained, as he turned to the two with a finger pointed upward. "Only when Shaun's really ticked her off."
Johan was still looking towards Castle Town, when he noticed a cart being dragged across the country side via a horse riding towards the town. He didn't think much of it until he noticed who was driving it.
"Uh... guys... we have a problem," Johan claimed.
"What is it now, Johan?" Cain asked through sniffs.
"Uh... isn't that guy the one who attacked the stadium?" he now asked, pointing towards the cart.
Link and Seth took a look, and sure enough, the main man steering the cart was surely the man dressed in black.
"Aw, damn!" Seth cursed.
"What are they doing near Castle Town?" Samus questioned.
Without saying another word, the group headed straight for the town.
*
It was a calm day where Dakota, Marth and K.K. were. In fact, it was so calm, that you could never even guess that they were in some sort of trouble only about twenty minutes ago. Dakota was marching dramatically across the plain, an irritated K.K. and Marth following her. Besides being irritated, they were also seriously terrified of her now, as she had just brutally defeated someone that they didn't know.
All of a sudden, a mole with his eyes completely shut and wearing a construction worker's outfit popped out of the ground below Dakota, shocking her and causing her to fall to the ground.
"AH!"
"DON'T RESET!!! Sorry, a bit of a habit," stated the mole, now revealed to be Mr Resetti. You know, from Animal Crossing? He's even an assist trophy.
"Resetti?" K.K. pondered. He sauntered over to the mole. "Nice to see you."
"Yeah, yeah, you're killing me here, K.K... How did you get into Generations while I'm still a stupid Assist Trophy? You know how embarrassing that is? I did more fights than you, I have more experience than you, I even already did the pledge, and you still got in while I just got the 'You're going to be an assist trophy again!' BAH! Well those guys can..."
"Resetti!" K.K. gasped in horror before Resetti could even finish his sentence. Dakota got up and brushed the dirt off her suit.
"What? Oh... Sorry about that. Well, I'm not here just because the four authoresses liked me so much from Animal Crossing, loved getting me as their assist in the game and want me to be here, you know. I have a valid reason to be here," Resetti began to explain.
"Four authoresses...?" K.K. wondered. "What are you talking about, my fellow animal friend?"
"What? Oh... Well, you see, the four authoresses are the... rulers of sorts. They command EVERYTHING, I'm telling you. What's going on, who dies, who lives, who speaks, who says what, which of the Smashers have kids, which of the Smash Generation are going to get kidnapped, and they even control the Dakota vs. Shaun scoreboard. They entrusted some of us cooler characters with the ability to break the fourth wall," Resetti claimed proudly. "I happen to be one of the characters given this amazing gift."
"What?" Dakota asked. She looked at him with a face filled with disappointment. "That's a stupid gift... I mean, who'd want that?"
"Well, with my new ability, I can tell that you're about to fall over flat on your face from being tripped by a rock."
"What?! That's completely insane! I should pound you!" Dakota then marched towards Resetti, but as predicted, she tripped over a rock and fell on her face. "OW!"
Marth cringed. "(That must have hurt…)"
K.K. was impressed. "That's impressive, Resetti."
Marth nodded in agreement.
"Thank you," Resetti smiled at K.K. before continuing. "Anyways, so with this gift, I am able to warn you of things. You're my buddy, K.K., alright? I care about you. I care about Animal Crossing Island and Tom Nook... maybe not that Monique girl... but, I still care about you guys. So, anyways, I've been entrusted with this gift, so I'm going to use it. You're going to be confronted with another one of those characters from the future. This guy? He's insane."
"They're all insane, mole," Dakota stated, as she straightened and once more brushed herself off.
"I'm talking about the one with the pet T-Rex."
"DAMN!" Dakota exclaimed. "He's here?! Oh, wait...they're all here, aren't they?"
"Yes they are." Resetti nodded and fiddled with his pick-axe.
"Crap..."
"Well, anyways, so this guy is coming at yah, right? From what I know, you'll be fine... but it's that T-Rex I'm worried about. I mean, that can eat you, K.K... And Marth, too, since he's hurt. So... yeah." Resetti stopped for a moment before continuing, allowing a cold wind to blow over him. "Just watch your back. The weak point of the T-Rex is..."
"There is no weak point to that thing, I'm telling yah!" Dakota suddenly argued. "We've fought that thing like twelve times, and not even Shaun can land a hit on it!"
"It's the underside of the tail," Resetti deadpanned, looking slightly annoyed, glaring at her. "You and your friends prefer the 'hack and slash' way of fighting, so of course you guys wouldn't be able to find the weak point of Rexxer."
"Rexxer...?" Dakota asked.
"I just came up with that. It's easier to type than T-Rex and is certainly faster. Rexxer, anyways, is fierce, yes. But the underside of his tail is not armoured like the rest of his body."
There was a small silence before Resetti continued. "Well, so that's all I'm here for. Enjoy your time in the brawl, my friend, K.K.! I'll be replacing you one day. So that's all, and remember, don't reset!"
At that, he popped back in the ground. There was a silence before Marth turned to K.K. with a confused look on his face.
"Who was that?" he asked.
"A friend, Marth..." K.K. replied. "Just a friend..."
*
Captain Falcon, Snake and Ensign stood around a gas station, piling gas into the Blue Falcon and the Great Eagle. Snake fiddled with a gun while they waited.
"—Snake!?" exclaimed a voice from his Codec.
"What the-?" Snake instantly activated his Codec. "Otacon?"
"Oh, thank god, Snake, you replied! You see, I have a lot to tell you," Otacon replied.
"I bet you do... but I haven't been able to contact you for the past day and a half," Snake answered.
Captain Falcon looked at Snake with a smile. "Finally got a hold of your friend?"
"Yeah, and I have no idea what's going on," Snake replied. He turned his attention back to Otacon. "Otacon, mind explaining what's going on?"
"I can now, Snake. You see, I have been given the ability to break the fourth wall," Otacon explained. "I have been entrusted with the knowledge of each of the Smash Generation. Anything you want to know about them, or their enemies, I can explain to you."
"The fourth wall? That's pretty impressive knowledge, there Otacon," Snake complemented. "Mind telling me about those guys in black?"
"They're a part of the Slash Elite, led by the evil Captain P," Otacon explained. "They're after each of the Smash Generation after they ruined their plans of using the Smashers for experiments to make stronger warriors. Like all clichéd villains, they're out to rule the world."
"Typical..."
"Exactly," Otacon agreed.
"Why are they here then?" Snake asked once more as Captain Falcon finished putting gas in the Blue Falcon.
"Good thing we had our wallets on us..." Captain Falcon muttered as he put the card in the slot.
"Oh, that? Simple. They're after the Smash Generation. Originally, the Smash Generation were here for the tournament, and the Elite knew about it before they came here."
"So Master Hand probably knew too... a warning would have been nice," Snake complained as he thought about the information he had just received.
"Also, the Elite are not here just for the Smash Generation," Otacon explained further. "They're after the Hand family."
"What good would a bunch of oversized hands be?" Snake asked Otacon as he opened up the passenger door to the Blue Falcon and sat down.
"Plenty. There are all sorts of different Hands, Snake. Each one has their own power and each one is equally as dangerous as the next. Using the Hands for your own gain would cause complete chaos and instant death in the cases of extreme amounts. I could sit here all day and name all of the Hands for you, but unfortunately that would take too long..."
"Yeah, I'd rather not... Hey, Otacon.... you're gifted now with the ability to explain the Smash Generation to me, right? Can I make a random guess?"
"Uh, sure, Snake," Otacon replied.
"Ensign is Captain Falcon's kid, isn't he?"
Otacon's laughter could be heard as Captain Falcon entered the car. "You're right, Snake!"
"What's he laughing at?" Captain Falcon asked as he started up the car.
"Oh, nothing. Talk to you later, Otacon," Snake replied, and turned off the Codec.
The Blue Falcon and the Great Eagle then drove off into the sunset.
*
It was dark out now, and the day seemed to have only started to some of the villagers of Kakariko. Visitors piled into the hotel while Ike only stepped into Renado's tent to the sight of the shaman placing a wet, cold rag onto the forehead of Toon Link, instructing the boy to hold it there. Master Hand, still in his human form, was standing off to the side watching. Ness, Lucas and Popo were off to the side as well, playing with Renado's daughter, Luda.
Ike approached Master Hand and showed him the now full bag. "I got more supplies for when we're on the move."
"That's good," Master Hand replied, and turned to Ike. "Renado doesn't seem to understand why Toon Link is feeling the way he is... It's clearly something unseen in Hyrule."
"Lucas told me what happened. Apparently Toon Link was nearly sucked into the Subspace..."
"Hmm..." Master Hand placed his fingers on his chin before turning towards Renado once more, who was handing some tea to Toon Link. Toon Link tried it when Renado walked away and made a disgusted face. "It's possible that a fragment of Subspace was able to enter his body."
"That's possible...?" Ike turned to Master Hand with a frightened face on.
"Yes. How else do you think you were able to get into Subspace directly to head to Tabuu? Subspace lapses through you, unlike everything else, which goes around you," Master Hand explained as he watched Toon Link pour the rest of the apparently very bad tea into a nearby plant. "It enters your body and goes through it."
"That is so creepy..." Ike stated as he turned to watch Toon Link as well.
"Well that's life."
"Master Hand," greeted a sudden visitor. Everyone turned to see Shad, the man who could read ancient Hylian.
"Ah, Shad. Nice to see you," Master Hand returned the greeting with a flare of happiness in seeing the Hylian. "What brings you here?"
"Yes, Shad," Renado asked as he walked up to the unexpected visitor. "What brings you here?"
"I'm here under terms of what's going on," explained Shad. "You see, I had a strange visitor last night... and she claimed to be called 'Axann'... She told me that I would have the ability of 'present sight'... Ever since then, I have been getting visions of what's going on with the Smashers. It's strange."
"Present sight? That is a rare gift, Shad," Master Hand commented.
"It's also rather..." at that, he silenced and gazed straight ahead, as if he had suddenly frozen. Ike straightened his stance, as if expecting something violent to occur. Toon Link looked up, as if just noticing him.
"Shad?" Master Hand approached the scholar cautiously.
Shad suddenly blinked. "Link and Zelda... they are approaching Castle Town now."
"Link and Zelda?" Ike questioned.
"My big brother?! He's not too far, then!" Toon Link cried out happily, as he jumped up and bounced over to the scholar. "Are they at Telma's bar?"
"Toon Link?" Shad questioned, before smiling. "Well... I just saw them enter Castle Town. But, if I know your older brother, they're definitely heading to her bar."
Ike turned to Master Hand. "Should we start heading there, then?"
Master Hand looked as if he was contemplating it, even crossing his arms. "I have other plans for what we should be doing, but I'm sure I can complete it on my own. The boys can surely head towards Castle Town, but I am worried for their safety..."
There was a long silence as everyone thought about the pickle they were in. Ness and Lucas looked at each other, worried, as Popo just stared at the adults contemplating everything. Toon Link was fighting back a barricade of coughs and failing. Ike suddenly blinked and exclaimed,
"I can go with them!"
"What?!" Master Hand turned to Ike, startled.
"Master Hand, I can defend them. They need someone stronger than themselves to fight off those Redeads that Toon Link told us about, and that girl at the shop said they were roaming everywhere now," Ike explained. "Also, I don't think the people of Castle Town would like a bunch of twelve year old boys running around without an adult with them. Besides, we're heading to a bar, right? They need someone older than the legal drinking limit to be with them."
"Yeah!" Ness exclaimed. "I like that idea, Master Hand! Please?"
Shad turned to Master Hand, who was thinking about it. "Master Hand, I can go with you so that you know how they are faring...."
"Then it is agreed," Master Hand nodded, and turned to Ike. "However, considering the circumstances that we are in, you are not to tell a soul that you are all Smashers."
Ike nodded in response, but it only caused confusion with the kids.
"What circumstances is that, Master?" Popo asked.
Master looked at Popo and smiled a grim smile. "Those men in black you saw are after all of you. They will not stop their hunt until they have gained all of the Hands, the Smash Generation, and the Smashers."
"Weird..." Ike commented.
"Oh, no!" Ness exclaimed worriedly. "We are all completely easily spotted because of the Brawl tournament! Link's in trouble, then!"
Renado seemed affected by this, and quickly went to a large storage cabinet in the room. He took out four small outfits and a large one. He passed the four small ones among the four boys, and gave the large one to Ike. "Here are some disguises for you. I will give you my cart and horse, so you can easily avoid the Redeads stalking the fields at night."
"Thank you, Renado," Ike answered, a smile coming on his lips.
*
Telma washed the counter in her bar as she waited for the oven to finish cooking tonight's meal. It was more than she usually made, but she had guests. When the meal was finished, she removed the steak and grabbed the salad that was going with it. With both in her hands, she walked over to the table and placed it down, her guests surrounding the table, dinnerware already placed.
"Soup's on!" she announced. "Help yourselves."
"Thank you, Telma," replied Zelda.
The four of the Smash Generation only watched with confused faces, but helped themselves to the food. The meal was pretty much uneventful, and afterwards, as Telma washed the dishes, with Zelda and Samus helping her, Link approached.
"Have you heard any news of my brother?" he asked.
"Which one? Toon or Young?" Telma asked with a chuckle as she placed a plate on the drying rack.
"Toon. Young should be at home," Link replied.
Telma sighed, and shook her head. "I haven't heard a thing, Link, I'm sorry."
"Damn..."
Zelda eyed Link worriedly before looking away and drawing her attention back to the dirty plates. Cain was looking out the window, when she noticed something strange.
"Hey, Link... that guy's outside the bar again."
Link and Seth instantly went to where she was, and saw the man in black with the cart eyeing the bar. Quickly, Seth pulled the curtains closed.
"This is bad..." he voiced, as he turned to look at everyone else. "Who is he after?"
Telma thought about it before looking at Zelda. "Maybe he's after Zelda? She is the princess of Hyrule, after all..."
Cain scowled as she looked at the now blocked window. "No... He's after us."
Link, Seth, Samus, Zelda and Telma looked at her with confused faces, demanding an explanation wordlessly.
"His name is Karasu," Cain explained with a cold tone in her voice. "That's his last name... none of us know his first. He is the leader of the Karasu clan, who command birds, mainly black crows. There has been a few that used white crows. He once planned to use people for experiments, but we stopped him before he did anything too damaging. He doesn't give orders... he takes them, from a guy... um, I mean a woman named Videl."
"So why's he here?" Samus asked in response to the new information.
"Probably for us," Johan guessed, as he shrugged casually. "Karasu is out to kill us, mainly out to kill Shaun, Dakota and Todd since they completely destroyed all his research."
Aine and Aden peeked through the curtains in order to see what was going on while the others were talking. Sure enough, now Karasu was peeking through a window across the alleyway that Telma's bar was placed in. They quickly drew the curtain back.
"Guys! He's checking windows!" Aden announced.
Cain cursed a very colourful word under her breath. "Now what?"
Everyone instantly began thinking of ways to get out of their current predicament. Telma began tapping a glass on her bar, Zelda fiddled with her gloves, and Samus twirled her gun. Link looked down and crossed his arms, and Seth lowered his head. Cain looked up at the light, Aine and Aden looked at each other thoughtfully, and Johan didn't even move.
After about three minutes, he eventually headed straight for the door, about to open it.
Cain moved to stop him. "What are you doing?!"
Johan looked her, his face grim. "He's not going to go anywhere until he's found us. I'm going after him!"
Cain seemed to think about is as Johan prepared to turn the knob of the door. "Wait!" she suddenly called out, causing Johan to turn to her. "I'm going with you."
"Are you crazy?!" exclaimed Aine and Aden at the same time.
"Possibly..." Cain muttered, as she followed Johan. "Are you two coming?"
Johan opened up the door and kept it open for Cain to leave before him. After she left, Johan left, closing the door behind him. The room was silent after they left, as the Smashers watched Aine and Aden puzzle over what to do.
Aine suddenly stomped her foot in mock anger and stepped over to the door. "Oh, screw it! Those two are right!"
"Aine, wait for me!" Aden called out. The two twins left the bar.
That was a couple of hours ago to the Smashers, as Seth, Samus, Zelda and Link sat around Telma's bar drinking things that she was preparing for them. Nobody else had entered the bar since then, and the night was growing old.
"I don't hear anything," Telma noted, as she prepared another drink. "Think those four young ones got captured?"
"I'm not sure what to think, Telma," Zelda replied.
Link just smacked his head on the table, leaving it there. Samus and Zelda, who were on both sides of him, were both startled by the sudden loud noise. Seth shook his head.
"This is turning out to be one hell of a week," he pointed out, as he took a sip from his drink. He thought for a few minutes before continuing. "I guess we can do nothing but hope that the other Smashers are okay."
The others instantly agreed.
*
Somewhere very far away, in the city of Pewter, a doctor walked up to the Pokemon Centre with three strange creatures tailing him. Dr. Mario, Tails, Sonic and Knuckles were hoping for directions to the closest hotel.
"Oh, not a problem, Dr. Mario," answered Nurse Joy, cheerfully. "We offer rooms right here for guests! You can stay with us for the night."
"Thank you," Dr. Mario replied with a tired smile.
Sonic gave a sigh of relief as Tails merely yawned. Knuckles crossed his arms.
"So, where are we going to go from here?" he asked.
Sonic shrugged. "We might as well just see where we go."
*
In the town of Kakariko, Renado watched as another group reached his town. Inspecting the group, he counted the strange members.
King Dedede sighed as he rubbed his head of sweat. Turning to Meta Knight, he grumbled, "I sure hope that Kirby's okay. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll do with my life."
"I'm sure you'll figure out something," Meta Knight said, nodding his head.
"Look what Lance has found!" exclaimed Lance all of a sudden. The group looked over to see the extremely cheerful angel rush over, his hands clasped together, holding something in. Opening them, a fairy was floating softly in his palm, a light being emitted, acting as a lantern in the darkness.
"Wow..." Pit whispered, astonished by the sight.
Donkey Kong smiled. "Link sure is lucky to live somewhere with such beautiful creatures."
"Lance has never seen one before," Lance admitted as he watched it. "Lance has never visited Hyrule with Rinku and his siblings. Lance doesn't think they like him. But that's okay with Lance! Everyone is free to their own thinking."
The four Smashers watched him with sad eyes as he looked at the beautiful fairy.
"It's very pretty, isn't it?" Lance asked them. "It's cute! Can Lance keep it?"
None of them expected that question to come out of his mouth. Hesitantly, Dedede nodded.
"Uh, sure... if you can find something to keep it in..."
"How about this?" asked a voice. Turning towards them, they saw Renado, his face beaming with pride as he showed the angel boy a lantern with holes at the top.
"Lance thanks Mr. Shaman, a lot!" Lance thanked, as Renado opened the door to the lantern. Carefully, Lance placed the fairy inside. "Lance shall name the fairy... But Lance doesn't know what to call it."
The group watched them as Lance pondered.
All of a sudden a large smile came upon his face. "Lance shall name the fairy Palutena, after his Goddess!"
That was when Pit fainted. Meta Knight looked at him with worry.
"Pit... is everything okay?" He asked in concern.
*
The next day at Telma's bar brought a new sun and new hopes to the four Smashers. Seeing as how now they knew they were being hunted, Telma had gone out and bought a few outfits for them.
Samus now wore a simple plain beige shirt and dark blue denim. She had taken her hair out of its ponytail, letting it flow around her body. With the new shirt on, her pregnancy was more noticeable. Zelda was now wearing a dark beige dress that went down to her ankles, simple boots protecting her feet. She had removed all of her jewellery, entrusting Telma to watch over it. Link had switched his Hero's tunic for a plain brown tunic, but left his pants and his belt on. He had also taken off his cap. Seth took off his armour and anything bearing the symbol of Renais, which instantly nearly made him unrecognizable.
The four now civilized Smashers had gone out for the day to shop, as Telma waited on thirsty customers. Link and Zelda were showing Seth and Samus around the town.
"This is the Malo Mart," Link explained. "Don't go in there."
"Why not?" asked Samus. "It's got good deals, right...?"
"Well, yes," Zelda admitted. She then shivered in memory. "It's also very annoying, since they do nothing but dance and demand products."
"Wow..." Samus shook her head in disbelief.
Zelda giggled for a bit before continuing. "The sad thing is Link knows the person that runs it. He's one of the boys that live in Ordon Village."
"You mean where Link and his brothers live? That's rough."
"Excuse me, but are you the travelers staying with Telma?" asked a voice.
The four turned, becoming face to face with one of the people running the fruit stands on the street Telma's bar was on. He was smiling.
"Yes," Samus answered.
"She told me to go find you," he explained. "Apparently someone showed up and Telma needs Lincoln and Zeldana right away."
The four gave each other confused looks at the names, but shrugged it off. Samus turned to the man once more.
"Thank you."
"Not a problem," the man replied. "It was my pleasure to help you."
As he walked away, they turned to each other once more.
"That was strange," Seth told them. "Wonder who showed up?"
"'Lincoln'...?" Link asked himself.
"Not as bad as 'Zeldana'," Zelda muttered. "That's my mother's name."
"Let's just go," Samus ordered. Instantly, the four raced down to Telma's bar.
*
"But that's not as bad as the time that a wolf tried to barge into my bar," Telma told her guest, grabbing another towel and passing it over. "You're just lucky you landed somewhere where I could help you."
"Telma?" Zelda called out, as she entered with Link, Samus and Seth right at her heels.
"I'm in the back, darling!" She called out. She turned back to her guest. "Seriously... you must be clumsy... And dragging those kids with you everywhere you go..."
"What's wrong?" Zelda asked, as she came into the back. Seeing the sight before her was unexpected. Of all the people they had come up with trying to guess, they hadn't thought of Ike. "Ike! What happened?"
"The horse we were using got spooked," Ike explained. He was soaked to the bone, wearing a brown tunic similar to Link's, and light beige pants. He didn't change his boots, but he had either traded his cape, or died it green. He had kept his headband. "I fell in that fountain."
Zelda giggled as she thought of it. "Glad to know that you're okay. Where's Master Hand?"
"I left him with Renado," explained Ike as he dried off his hair with a towel. "Some guy named Shad showed up, something about you guys coming here..."
"Shad?" asked Link, as he walked into the room.
Unlike everyone else, Telma certainly felt the tension rise when Link had strolled into the room. "Um... I'm going to go into the house... get some tea..." She walked over to a secret doorway and entered the room. Zelda and Link could hear some yelling coming from it.
"Hello, Link," Ike greeted, warmly.
"Hello, Ike," Link returned.
"Play nice," Zelda demanded the two of them. She turned back to Ike. "Now Ike, tell me about Shad telling you something..."
"Zelda! Big Brother!"
The two Hylians, instantly remembering such a high-pitched voice, turned in shock at the door to see Toon Link standing in the doorway wearing the clothing his Grandmother had made for him. Like his older brother, Toon Link was no longer wearing his hat, his blonde hair a complete mess. Behind him, came Lucas, Ness and Popo, each wearing similar outfits. Lucas' was mostly yellow, with mixes of orange and red, Ness' was mostly red, with strands of dark red, orange red, and orange yellow and was no longer wearing his hat, and Popo's looked more like a jacket, similar to his parka, and was solid blue. It had no hood, completely revealing his brown hair. The four boys ran up to Zelda and Link. When it became apparent that Ness, Lucas, and Popo were so excited, Toon Link backed away, and settled with watching the three barricading the two with questions and exclamations.
"It's so great to see you guys again!" Ness exclaimed.
"We never thought we'd get here!" Popo added.
"We've missed you!" Lucas continued.
"Where have you been?" Ness asked.
"It's been horrible! We arrived at some desert town and it was completely boring!" Popo complained.
"It was hot there, too!" Lucas added.
"But there was a hot spring on top of the hotel that we didn't stay at, since we had no money, so we settled for the tree nearby, and then Ike showed up with Master Hand, and he looked so weird! He was a human all of a sudden, it was so weird!" Ness told them.
"Yeah! And then, we met this nice girl named Luda!" Popo added.
"But enough about that, who else is with you?!" Ness asked.
"Is Meta Knight, Red or Marth with you?" Lucas asked.
"Is Luigi?" Ness asked.
"Have you seen Lucario?" Popo asked.
"Is Eirika?" Ness asked once more.
The bundle of questions stopped when Toon Link began coughing uncontrollably. Instantly, Ness, Popo and Lucas rushed over to him. Link, although confused to how his brother was sick, rushed over as well, and lifted him up, cradling him. The noise attracted the attention of Seth and Samus in the other room, so they had come over as well.
"Easy, Toon..." Link told his brother calmly.
The coughing began to slow, and Toon Link closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around his brother's neck, hugging him. Link returned it, his eyes now filled with worry.
Zelda turned to Ike, who flinched under her glare. "What was that?!"
"We don't know," Ike explained. "Master Hand thinks Subspace must have entered his body or something."
"It can do that?" Samus asked him.
"Apparently."
Ness turned to Samus and Seth, and smiled. "So Samus and Seth are with you? That's good."
Samus smiled at him, and knelt down before him. "It's good to know that you're okay as well, Ness."
Seth, however, noticed something strange. He counted the kids before looking at Popo. "Where's your sister?"
The sudden depression was evident in all four of the boys.
"Nana... she didn't make it..." Popo explained. "It's my fault that Toony's sick... I stopped to go get her and Toony tried to stop me..."
"No it's not!" Toon Link suddenly said, as he let go of Link and hopped down, landing in front of Popo. He looked rather angry by the ice boy's assumption, and frowned. He placed his hands on his hips similar to the way Link's friend Ilia did. "Any brother would have stopped to save their sibling! It was completely normal!"
"But..."
"No buts! We are now going to make a promise of not blaming anyone for why I'm sick! Got it?" Toon Link turned to Ness and Lucas, as if joining them in it all. The two PSI boys nodded, and turned to Popo, who looked sad.
Smiling a little, Popo nodded as well.
"Alright! It's settled then," Toon Link said, smiling. He coughed a little before continuing. "Now then, I'm going to tell my big brother about what happened after that."
"You mean with the fairies?" Lucas asked with a curious look on his face.
"Yep!"
"Fairies...?" Link asked, unsure.
"I questioned his sanity..." Ike admitted. "I won't question it again... Toon?"
"Right!" Toon Link piped. He turned to his brother, and proceeded to explain everything about the fairy named Tallys, how she was the Fairy of Winds, Navi was the Fairy of Time, and another fairy named Tsukiko was the Fairy of Twilight. Without them, the time line would be altered. "So, we were heading to get Navi," he finished.
"That's pretty heavy stuff," Samus commented.
"But how are we going to get Navi?" Zelda asked them. After thinking for a bit, she added, "Speaking of which, why do you want her first?"
"Well, we know where she is," Toon Link answered.
At this, Popo scoffed. "Yeah, right! The best that happened was we got lost!"
"We were not lost!" Toon Link argued before a brief cough. "I know where Lost Woods is!"
At this Link piped up, "Yeah, but I have a better sense of direction."
The silence that followed was deafening.
At last, Toon Link admitted, "You're right... you're better at land, I at sea..."
*
"Finally! We reached somewhere where we can get help!" Peach exclaimed, excited. They strode up to the strange looking house and she knocked on the door. The door slowly opened, but then it fell off its hinges and to the floor with a loud THUD noise.
Pear looked up at Peach and smiled. "Nice."
Peach huffed. "I tried."
Justin, meanwhile, peered inside and took a good look around from the spot he was at. "Looks abandoned. I think we should back off."
Mario nodded in agreement. "I-a think you are-a right, Justin..."
Suddenly a large bird Pokemon named Zapdos crashed through the roof of the building and soared through the skies. Startled, the Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants rushed into the large mansion and hid among the furniture, as if expecting it to come back.
"That-a was random..." Mario admitted to Peach, who hid next to him.
"What was that, Riley?" Pear asked her friend.
Riley stood up from behind the couch they were hiding behind. He looked out the door. "That was a Zapdos... It's one of the three legendary birds of Kanto... but I don't know why it was here."
"That's because I was," explained a voice behind them. Everyone turned around to become face to face with Mewtwo.
"Mewtwo!" exclaimed Mario. "That's-a where you-a are!"
"Yes," answered Mewtwo as he came over to where they were. "And I have terrible news for Master Hand. Where is he?"
"We don't know," answered Bowser Jr. "We haven't found anyone but Riley."
Mewtwo seemed distressed. "This is bad..."
"Mewtwo... What did you find?" Peach asked the Pokemon. "What's so distressing about it?"
Mewtwo turned to Peach with a sad look on his features. "I was captured. I was caught off guard when I realized the attack was more dreadful than we had presumed. Along with Jigglypuff, Aaron and Nana, I was sent to the enemy's base. In there, I realized who the leader of the organization was... and it was very disturbing."
"Who was it?" Mario asked.
"I cannot tell you. I can only tell Master Hand," Mewtwo answered. "But I can tell you that the leader is one of our own... from the year of 2029."
At this, Justin, Pear, Riley and BJ turned away and avoided the gazes they were getting from Mario, Peach, Mewtwo and Bowser Jr. Riley was even whistling a bit.
"Who is it?!" Peach demanded.
Justin was sweating from the pressure. "It's..."
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL THEM!" exclaimed a voice that caused the group to turn upward towards the rafters of the second floor. Up there, was Mew. There was something different about this Mew, as she was smaller than the Mew that the Smashers knew. It was the Mew that Lucario knew.
"Mew?!" Mario said in shock. "Aren't you-a supposed to-a be in that-a Tree of Life thing...?"
"It does not matter..." Mew explained, as she floated downward towards them. "What matters is that you do not know who the leader of the Slash Elite is."
Justin chuckled nervously. "Yeah... we were hoping the Slash Elite didn't show up..."
"You know who this 'Captain P' is, Mew?" Mewtwo asked, astonished.
"Of course!" Mew chuckled with a smile. "Toad told me. Toad was gifted with the ability to break the fourth wall for some reason. He can't be here right now, as he was also given the challenge of breaking into the base to bust out Nana, Jigglypuff and Aaron."
"Why?" Peach asked.
"You got me," Mew answered, turning to her. "But Captain P is not playing with all his cards right now. Someone got rid of Jojo and Kuromeru... In fact, apparently, Kuromeru is in critical condition with multiple bullet wounds and his balls smashed."
"Dakota," Riley said with a smile. "That was definitely my sister, Dakota."
Bowser Jr and BJ both shook their heads.
"I also want to propose an idea," Mew said with a nod. "Mewtwo can take some of you to find Master Hand, who is heading up Death Mountain, and the rest of you can head with me to the Smash Mansion. That's probably where everyone else is heading."
"Good idea, Mew," Mewtwo complimented.
"Alright-a!" Mario agreed. "Then, BJ, Justin and-a I shall go with-a Mewtwo. Pear, Bowser Jr, Riley and-a Peach can go with Mew!"
"Alright, Mario," Peach agreed. "You be careful!"
"Let's go," Mewtwo ordered.
So the group broke up.
*
Snake, Captain Falcon and Ensign found themselves in the Mobius country, where Sonic and his friends were from. Driving their cars through the highway, they tried to keep an eye out for anyone that they knew. Silence was the norm now among the group, and even Ensign couldn't find anything to say to Captain Falcon and Snake as they kept their eyes on the road.
At least, not for awhile.
"Hey, Snake... Falcon. There's something up there, do you see it?"
Looking a little harder than they were, the two listened to what the boy had to say, and saw a large building in the distance. Following it as they neared it, more buildings came into view.
Snake recognized the sight. "That's Station Square... Sonic showed me pictures of it during the Brawl tournament."
"Maybe we can get directions away from here," Captain Falcon said with a smile. "Sorry, Ensign, but your little trick with the teleporter really got us off course."
"Sorry... I just typed in the first coordinates I thought of," Ensign explained. "Recently Sonic in our time brought us to Mobius, so..."
"I understand, you don't have to over explain things," Captain Falcon replied with a chuckle as they passed the sign welcoming them to Station Square. "I'm just glad we know where we are now."
Once they reached the City Hall, Captain Falcon entered to get directions out of Mobius and towards Smash World, where the Smash Mansion was. Snake got out of the Blue Falcon to stretch and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. As Snake and Ensign waited for Captain Falcon, Ensign checked his teleporter and Snake contacted Otacon.
"Yes, Snake, what is it?" Otacon asked.
"Otacon... I was just wondering randomly. You know tiers? I was wondering if the Smash Generation did that." Snake didn't even know why he was thinking about it. He had suddenly come up with the idea when they had parked in front of the City Hall, wondering who was the strongest of the Smash Generation.
"Actually, yes. They fought each other in order to see who was the strongest. They did it mostly out of curiosity, however," Otacon explained. "I could tell you right now that the strongest Smash Generation is Todd O'Donnell."
"Todd O'Donnell...? You mean that jack ass fox?" Snake tried to imagine the stoic young fox fighting, but couldn't. He could just envision the fox standing there, ignoring his opponent on the stage.
"Yes. He's not exactly related to Wolf O'Donnell... he was adopted by him," Otacon explained further. There was a pause before Otacon began. "As a matter of fact, Todd isn't sure who his parents are, but he knows that they're Smashers."
"The only foxes I can come up with are Fox and Krystal... but they only have one kid, Marcus..."
"Well..."
"Hey, Snake," piped Ensign all of a sudden. This caused Snake to look up in shock. "Can you come hold this together for me while I fix this?" He held up some wires, showing them to Snake.
"Huh?" Snake nodded as a reply. "Uh, sure kid." He walked over to the Great Eagle and held the wires together. "What was that, Otacon?"
"I didn't say anything. Anyways, allow me to continue on the tiers for the Smash Generation. They don't call it that. They call it the 'Order of Strength'," Otacon explained to Snake.
"The Order of Strength? Who came up with that name?" Snake wondered.
"Nutjob," Ensign replied absentmindedly as he fiddled with the teleporter.
"He's right," Otacon replied. "After Todd comes Shaun."
"Saw that one coming," Snake muttered, remembering the kid pretty much murdering Captain Falcon without breaking a sweat. "That kid has a lot of guts."
"Then comes Dakota," Otacon continued.
"Dakota? She's that strong?" Snake pondered. "I did not see that one coming."
"Dakota's violent... that's really the only reason she's up that high. She doesn't exactly give up during battles. She'll run, but she'll turn around just as fast to shoot you to smithereens," Otacon explained. "If that doesn't work, she has a taser, a whip, and a bottle of pepper spray. That's not even all she's got."
"Pepper spray... that's completely random to have in your belt," Snake commented.
"Well... it's Dakota," Otacon responded casually. He then continued. "The fourth strongest is Riolu."
"You got to be kidding me." Snake rolled his eyes.
"I'm not."
"No, seriously. That Riolu is the fourth strongest?"
"She is," Otacon assured. "She was trained by Lucario and Mewtwo. The only reason why she's not evolved is because she has no trainer... so she hasn't become friends with a trainer yet."
"Alright... so who's the four weakest?"
"To my knowledge that I was gifted with? The four weakest was blocked out by lame specially edited Authoress Spoiler Tags... but I can tell you the weakest is the Yoshi named Bubbles."
"Hey, Snake!" called out Captain Falcon. As Snake turned to look, Ensign took the wires from Snake's hand and fixed his teleporter. Captain Falcon was heading down the stairs of Station Square. He was waving a map with marker all over it. "I got directions to Smash World! We'll be at Smash Mansion by tomorrow, and hopefully, Samus would be there."
Snake smiled at Captain Falcon gratefully. "Hopefully."
"Snake?"
Snake turned back to his Codec. "Yeah, Otacon?"
"There's also some news I wanted to break to you... Captain P used to be a Smasher," Otacon revealed with a voice filled with sorrow. "His true identity is also covered by Authoress Spoiler Tags, so I can't reveal to you which Smasher it is... but, just watch out. It could be anyone that you trust."
Snake's face was grim as he heard the news Otacon gave him. "I'll watch my back. Thanks, Otacon..."
Captain Falcon opened up the driver side of the Blue Falcon, and turned to Snake, a worried face on. "What did Otacon tell you? What's wrong?"
Snake just sighed and opened up the passenger door. "Let's just get to Smash Mansion."
"Alright..."
Ensign looked upset as he got into his own car. As he sat down, he gripped the steering wheel. "And this was supposed to be fun... but no.... the Slash Elite can't even leave us alone for six months... because Captain P freaking can't wait six months..."
The two cars left Station Square, and turned on the highway. Speeding up, they sped towards Smash World.
*
Captain P, in all his glory, sat on his throne in his evil lair. His eyes were closed. He had a breathing mask on, connected to two tanks pumping air into him. He was small, but he was not easily judged. Unfortunately, that was all one could tell about Captain P. For all one knew, he had orange fur, or maybe even strange ears. He was shrouded in all darkness, so one could never truly tell which Smasher he once was.
"You two... what do you have to offer?" Captain P asked his two followers.
At this, Karasu sneered. "Captain P, I present you the Emblem Quartet."
Immediately, four of Karasu's fellow crow users approached, each holding one of the four kids by the hair.
"Let go!" complained Aine, as she struggled to get out of the grip.
Captain P's eyes opened in amusement, his black orbs surveying the scene before him. "Good..."
Now he turned towards Videl, who gave him a smile.
"I don't have the location of Master Hand, but I have something far better for you, Captain P," she declared. She took from her pocket a doll. The doll was dressed in a pink dress, its solid black orbs staring forward, its hair tied in braids. It was the same doll that followed Master Hand and Ike in Episode 2. It blinked.
Captain P's eyes opened wide. "The Hando Doll of Lady Hand...?"
"Yes, Captain P," Videl said with an evil sneer. "I caught her tailing me. It seems the Hando Dolls exist in 2009 as well."
"Let go of me! I'm a lady, you know!" complained the Hando Doll. She squirmed in the hard grip of Videl, twisting and turning, her little limbs rendered useless since she was so soft. "I declare that you drop me this instant!"
"Oh, shut up," Videl returned as she squeezed the doll, resulting in a high pitched squeak from the Hand. "You are useless in this form, so you can't do anything to me!"
Captain P stood up, and walked across the room to Videl and Karasu, dragging his oxygen tanks along the floor with him. "This is surely the best that you two have done. I am very proud of you both. I would promote you... but I'm afraid that you'll have to get me Master Hand and Crazy Hand to do that. You see... I need all the Hands in order to fully take over the world. Karasu, take your mind off the Smashers for now. You focus on the Hands... Videl, I would like if you could get me the Smashers."
"We'll get right on that, Captain P," Videl assured. At that, the two turned away, leaving the four Karasu clan members holding the Emblem Quartet tightly.
"What would you like us to do with these four?" asked one of the clan members.
Captain P thought over it carefully. "Lock them up with the three we got from the stadium. I'll deal with them later." He turned back towards his throne, but didn't step forward. He turned his head back to the clan members. "And fetch me my plant. It needs to be watered."
"Yes, sir," replied the clan member.
As they stepped out, one of the subordinates of Captain P stepped into the room. Watching the four walk away, she watched sadly as the Emblem Quartet was led away. She was rather beautiful, with long, snow white hair that was done similar to Nurse Joy's hair, but quite a bit of strands had fallen out. Her eyes were coloured silver, and she wore a long, white kimono with black lining. She wore Japanese sandals and upon her shoulder sat a pure white crow.
She looked down when the Emblem Quartet was led down the hall and continued walking towards Captain P. When she stopped in front of him, she turned towards him and bowed gracefully.
"Captain P," she greeted in her soft, bell like voice.
"Shiroi Karasu..." Captain P whispered. "I was wondering when you would show up. To what do I owe the honour?"
Shiroi paused for a bit, as if pondering her words before saying them. "I have confirmed that we missed one of the Smash Generation that did not head to the tournament. His name is Maven."
"Ah, Maven... I remember his birth," Captain P remembered. "Link was so surprised when he learned Zelda had twins... I for one wasn't... as his little brothers were twins..."
"Captain P, this is very serious," Shiroi told him. "Maven is the tenth strongest of the Smash Generation. He is not to be trifled with."
"I understand that," Captain P assured her, probably smiling behind all that blackness that covered his face. "I know his father well. Maven is just like him in a way, but his attitude is more like his mother's..."
Shiroi nodded as if agreeing with him. "Is there anything you wish for me to do, Captain P?"
Captain P thought for a bit before replying. "Actually, yes, there is... there is one group in Castle Town. Do you remember the boy that Kotonashi nearly captured? It seems that Subspace has entered his body, nearly making him a tracking device. Your highly trained bird there is great for that... I want you to track him down. Oh... and get me Zel, Rinku and Gavin. They have pieces of the Triforce. We'll need that."
"Which is more important, Captain P?" she asked once more.
"Get me the boy," Captain P said sternly. "He is far more important than those three brats! After all... once we get the boy... we get Link."
"As you wish, Captain P," Shiroi decided, and she turned to leave the room.
Before she did, Captain P said, "Oh, and Shiroi?"
She turned back to him.
"When you get the boy, get me Ike as well. He'll make a good bargaining tool for Shaun and Dakota."
"Of course, Captain P," Shiroi said calmly. She then stepped out of the room.
As soon as she left, Captain P sat back into his throne, still dragging his oxygen tanks with him. Finally sitting once more into his throne, Captain P took out a photo of the Smashers before the Generations Tournament. In the photo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dr Mario, Pichu, Roy, Marth and Young Link were crossed out with a black marker. Captain Olimar was scratched out with a knife, and Lucas was blotted out with an ink blot. The others were left untouched, save for a bit of graffiti on some of them, such as moustaches or devil horns. Mario even suddenly had a pair of badly drawn glasses.
Chuckling softly to himself, Captain P declared, "Finally, I shall have my revenge on the rest of the Smashers... and in doing so, I'll have rid myself of their annoying little spawn."
He continued to laugh to himself evilly as a Karasu family member entered the room with a little daisy like plant.
*
It seems things aren't going to be any easier for the Smashers now that Captain P is revealed! Will all the Smashers heading to the Smash Mansion make it safely? Will Shiroi complete the task handed to her? What purpose do the Hando Dolls and the Triforce serve? Stay tuned for next time, on Smash Generation! Next Episode: The White Crow! Magical Bird User Shiroi!
It's time for: SMASH GENERATION SIDE TRACKS!
----------------
Falco jumped up suddenly from nowhere and raced towards the screen, rapidly. He showed no signs of stopping and he looked very angry. "Hands off my prey!"
He then tripped on a rock similar to Dakota earlier in the episode, and landed on his face. The surroundings were then revealed when a light bulb above Falco was suddenly turned on, revealing it to be the hallway of the Great Fox.
Fox happened to walk by at that moment, he stopped, and he looked at Falco with an amused face. "What were you doing just now?"
"I have no idea," Falco answered, his voice extremely muffled. He sat up and coughed up dirt. "I just suddenly had the urge to do that..."
Fox shrugged. "Oh, well. Get to your post."
"Okay..."

Random Bits of Info:
1. The reason Shaun beat Jojo so easily is because Jojo is like... the fifth weakest... and Shaun's like... the second strongest. Not a good pair up, that's for sure. (Raxas)
2. Yes, if Dakota is extremely ticked at Shaun, she will beat him to a pulp. This is mainly because he doesn't fight back for fear he'll kill her. (Chrislma)
3. There are exactly seven people with the ability to break the fourth wall. So far, Resetti, Otacon, Shad and Toad have been revealed with the ability. Each one has different ranges of how much of the wall they can break. Otacon can only describe the characters, Resetti can only describe future events, Shad can only describe present events through visions, and Toad knows the ins and outs of the Slash Elite. (Kageshi)
4. We picked Resetti for exactly the reasons he pointed out. (Chrislma)
5. None of us have played Metal Gear Solid. We picked Otacon merely out of reputation. (Axann)
6. The name of the Slash Elite with the T-Rex named 'Rexxer' courtesy of Resetti is named Kyouryuu, which means 'dinosaur'. (Chrislma)
7. Yes, Captain Falcon spawns. (Raxas)
8. Shad was picked for his knowledge of Ancient Hylia, so plus that, he was given the gift of Present Sight. (Axann)
9. The reason Cain, Johan, Aine and Aden didn't tell the Smashers about Captain P is because they didn't want them to know that Captain P was once one of them. (Raxas)
10. No, we are not going to spill who Captain P really is. Yet. (Chrislma)
11. Lance is right when he says Rinku, Zel and Maven aren't particularly fond of him. (Kageshi)
12. Pit fainted because he is in love with Palutena and thinks Lance is as well. Don't worry, he's okay. (Raxas)
13. The deserted mansion that Mario and his team arrive at is based off of the Pokemon Mansion in Cinnabar Island. It somehow ended up in the middle of nowhere for the benefit of this fiction. (Chrislma)
14. Yes, Riolu is the fourth strongest. (Axann)
15. The name "Kotonashi" means "Nothing", and Kotonashi was formed from Subspace. Using an English to Japanese dictionary, the word 'subspace' does not exist, so we settled for 'nothing'. (Raxas)
16. The "P" in Captain P's name stands for "Payback".
