Chapter 4: Is This Going to End Anytime Soon? Part 1

By: PokeTrainer

Marth's P.O.V The Lake

PokeTrainer and I had finally got out of the water (after a very large fight might I add). By the time everyone got out the moon was shining brightly in the sky. The boys and Yukiko went to change while PokeTrainer took us back to her house so we could find some dry clothes to wear. Luckily when they found us I still had my bag that had my clothes so I just took one and changed into it. I ended up just wear the lighter blue version of my armor. Then I started thinking, Why did I start blushing? It's not that I like her. Right? While I was arguing with myself PokeTrainer came down from her room. She saw me arguing with myself and looked at me with a confused look. When I noticed I immediately started blushing. What's wrong with me? I never acted like this before. I took a glance back towards her and saw she was heading towards me.

"Grab your bag so we don't have to come back here if we go through another incident like that again. Well, what are you waiting for? I have my stuff and some sleeping bags come on. Marth?" She said.

"Marth are you feeling okay? You're red again." I nodded and responded,

"(Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go.)" She then grabbed my arm and dragged me off. While she was dragging me down I took a look at what she was wearing. She was wearing a light aqua turtleneck, dark blue jeans and a blue headband. In one hand she was holding her soaked backpack with all her wet clothes, and she had another backpack that was a bit larger. However she still had her sword and Pokéball necklace on her. When I stopped looking down at her I noticed we were halfway down so I kept my eyes wide for any enemies. Before we reached the others she let go of my arm and told me to follow. Probably so Yukiko can stop teasing us. We reached the others in less than a minute.

"What took you so long?" Yukiko asked, annoyed.

"Let's see we had to change into some DRY clothes so we wouldn't get sick! Besides I brought the sleeping bags so be happy!" PokeTrainer responded.

"Fine, let's set up camp near the forest. That way we have some protection in case of rain."

"Let's go then, it's already late. We could all use some rest." Then we headed off to the forest. When we got there I helped PokeTrainer set up the sleeping bags, there were only four so we let the boys and Yukiko have them. She took out a blanket and covered me with it. The others had already fallen asleep. Pit and Toon were next to each other. They've become great friends in such a short time. Yukiko and Red fell asleep right next to each other also. I laughed at the thought. PokeTrainer was making a fire using her powers. I walked up next to her.

"(This is big enough for the both us, we could share it.)" I offered.

"No it's okay, you need it more than me. I would want you catching a cold." She said in a whisper. I shook my head and responded,

"(I insist, I wouldn't want you catching a cold. Besides this way we both stay warm and we both don't catch colds.)"

"But Marth-"

"(Really, I don't mind, besides if Yukiko says anything we could show a picture of her and Red sleeping together.)" I said, showing her a camera from my bag. I took the picture and saved it. Then she smiled and finally agreed. We leaned against a tree, she rested her head on my shoulder, but I didn't mind. I just smiled and fell asleep.

Morning Outside The Ruined Zoo Aurora's P.O.V

When I woke up the sun was rising and Lucas was still leaning on my shoulder. Pichu was getting up as well so I decided to wake up Lucas.

"Lucas… Lucas it's morning, time to get up." I said. Then the boy started to open his sleepy eyes and looked straight at me and started blushing. I laughed a bit and helped him up.

"Come on Lucas, we have to get going that way we could head to Smash Manor afterwards and wait for the others." I said.

"Oh, okay." He responded as he walked towards us.

"Pichu, get down from that tree."

"I'm coming!"Pichu said as he jumped onto my head. "I'm done, now let's go!" He said pointing in some random direction.

"Pichu, it's the other way." Lucas said. Pichu sweatdropped and replied,

"That's what I meant to say."

"Right, so let's go." I said. Then we headed off.

Along the way we ran into Primids, Auroros, Greaps, Roaders and whatnot. They were pretty easy safe for the Greaps who were so dang annoying. They took us awhile to get past but in the end we sent them flying. Soon we were directly in front of the ruins. We were about to go inside but got rudely interrupted by a certain rival of Mario. One who I personally hate, the person everyone pretty much hates actually… Wario!

"What are you doing here?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I really do not like him.

"Come to take the prize I missed before." He responded. Then I looked over to Lucas, who was prepared to attack Wario. I got in fighting stance and Pichu prepared his electric attacks. Wario had ran towards us but Lucas stopped him with a PK Thunder. Then I followed his attack up with my Sweet Needles and Pichu attacked with his own electricity. Wario was sent flying but just crashed onto the ground. That stupid, overweight idiot. Why can't he just die! I thought as ran up to him jumped and did a Heel Smash. Lucas attacked with several PK Fire's and PK Freezes. Pichu did the same with his thunder attacks while I used my Sweet Needles and Aura Dome's. We sent him flying yet again and to insure our victory we all attacked him at the same time while he was in the air. And just like we hoped, he turned him into a trophy. We high-fived each other, but after Lucas looked around. I saw the disappointed look on his face.

"Lucas, what's wrong?" I asked.

"My friend, he was captured by Wario. But, he's not around here." He answered. I put my hand on his shoulder and Pichu jumped onto his head.

"Don't worry, we'll find your friend. Is he also competing?" I responded.

"He's one of the originals, one who was here since the first tournament."

"Wait would this friend be Ness?" Pichu asked.

"Yeah," Lucas responded.

"That's official, after we look in the ruins then we have to find Ness. He's also one of my friends so I have to help."

"Thanks Pichu."

"No problem, now let's go! Who knows who's in there."

"Keep your fur on Pichu, we're going in no matter what." I said.

The Lakeshore Link's P.O.V

Well what do you know, Kirby saved Peach from the explosion while Wario made off with Zelda. I know that because we have to face Shadow Peach! Funny thing is, Mario hasn't heard the fighting yet, or he's trying to make it seem like how it was supposed to happen before. The three of us(Young Link, Yoshi and I) had already done a lot of damage to Shadow Peach. Young and I had tried to finish her off with a double smash attack but she dodged last minute and ended up hitting Yoshi instead. He yelped in pain and that's when Mario finally noticed us.
"Mamma-mia, LINK!" He shouted as he ran up to us with Mewtwo right behind him. He attacked the shadow version of Peach with a punch and Mewtwo sent her flying with a single shadowball attack. Shadow Peach turned into a trophy and disintegrated. I then walked up to Mario.

"You guys just had to make that dumb wish didn't you? Not only is Pit missing but so is Toon Link! The same thing must have happened to Marth and Red too. I swear when we find Ike and Pikachu I'm going to give you guys such a beating. We could be relaxing at the manor right now instead of having to go through this a second time!" I scolded.

"Well excuse me for getting mad! Remember it was Ike's idea!" Mario responded. We just kept arguing while Mewtwo and Yoshi were talking.

"Any idea what they are talking about Mewtwo?" Yoshi asked.

"They are a pathetic species, if you ask me. But what they are arguing about worries me. They seem to be talking about an alternate reality that we're all trapped in." Mewtwo responded.

"I think they've finally lost it! This is their third tournament that they are participating in so it must be getting to their heads."

"Hopefully that is true.*Turns to look at us*. Looks like they're going to fight each other."

"Should we stop them?"

"Let's let them settle this themselves, when one of them turns into a trophy then we interfere."

"Reasonable,"

Research Facility Pikachu's P.O.V

"The shock comes in 5…4…3…2…1!"

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt Bzzzzzt Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!

"Chaaaaaa!" Come on Pikachu, get a hold of yourself! Samus will be here anytime now. At that moment Samus entered the room and the machine turned off for a minute. Then turned on yet again. Luckily Samus used her whip to break me out.

"Wahoooooo!! Look out world PIKACHU IS FREE!*See's R.O.B units* Finally some payback!" I shouted.

"Pikachu, you really need to calm down." Samus replied.

"Whatever, less talking more attacking." I said while body slamming several R.O.B units. Then followed up with several thunder attacks. Samus blasted them with her gun and attacked with her whip. Those things are so dang annoying, it must of taken an hour to get to the monitoring room. That's when something caught Samus' eye. It was her power suit! Now all we had to do was find it.

The Lakeshore Mewtwo's P.O.V

Those two just can't seem to stop fighting. They keep arguing about the same thing and it looks like they're ready to actually fight it out. Link pulls out his Master Sword out of his sheath and Mario rushes at him and get readies to punch him. Link uses his shield to block off the attack and starts to shoot out his arrows. Mario preferably dodges them but still gets hit. They just keep lashing out attacks at the other person. And they keep doing the same patterns. It's redundant. Whenever Mario attacks with a fireball, Link counters with a bomb. Whenever Link attacks with arrows, Mario uses his F.L.U.D.D. Then they both attack each other in the air. Link uses his spin attack and Mario his Super Jump Punch. They do the same things over and over again until a bomb-omb mysteriously appears and blows up when both fighters were exactly on top of it. Both fighters were turned into trophies. Young Link had rushed over to the two trophies but was interrupted by an overweight penguin driving what seemed to be a cart. The cart extended a claw and grabbed the two trophies. The cart had already had Zelda, Luigi and Ness on it so the three of us followed it immediately. While we were chasing after it, Kirby had done a downward swipe with his sword and released the two fighters. He freed them from their trophy prison and Link shot the cart with an arrow. The cart began to slow down so we chased after it and found ourselves at a cave.

"Come on, we have to go in after King Dedede!" Link said.

"How is it you know his name?" I asked.

"Lucky guess?"

"Fine, we best go in after him then." Then we ran into the cave. I'd rather not go into details of what we faced since they were the same old enemies we faced before. Anyway, we found a room with the ceiling collapsed over it. There was a hole in the wall that we went through right after seeing it.

"Hurry up guys!" Mario yelled. We were all getting irritated by Mario and Link, first off because we have no idea what they are talking about. And secondly, they're getting too bossy. Back to reality, we were in the tunnel which turned out to be more of a cave. Somehow both Mario and Link knew which ways we had to go through, which began to stir my suspicion. When we got outside we found Bowser trying to get away with Zelda. Link had shot an arrow at him and he stumbled. Bowser fell of f the cliff but was caught by his weird flying machine. He escaped to a ship that was in the red clouds from before. We heard an explosion and one of those subspace bombs had gone off. I teleported the six of us away from here.

The Forest PokeTrainer's P.O.V Late Morning

I had finally woken up and found that everyone else was still asleep or at least acting that way. No one else was stirring, except for Marth. He was starting to wake up. He opened his eyes and the first thing he looked at was me. A small blush appeared on his face, while I giggled. Strangely, the fire from last night still went strong.

"(How is it the fire is still going on? I was sure the wind would have caused it to go out.)" Marth said.

"That is true, unless these guys are actually awake and are trying to save their own butts!" I responded, when I said that the four of them jumped out of their sleeping bags with red faces. We weren't impressed.

"How'd you know we were awake?" The blond boy asked.

"Reason a) you were breathing faster than you did when you fell asleep last night. Reason b) you were in different positions than you were in before." I responded.

"Well, you still prove my point about you and Marth!" Yukiko said. The two of us laughed. Then I whispered in his ear,
"Do you still have the picture?" He took out the camera and flipped to the picture. I giggled.

"What's so funny?" Yukiko demanded.

"Well, what about you and Red? You both looked so cute sleeping together, your heads almost touched." I said. Red's and Yukiko's faces flushed. They had no comeback. Then Pit and Toon started laughing. Math and I joined in. That's when we heard an explosion in the distance.

"Okay, what the heck was that?" Yukiko asked as she snapped out of her trance.

"I don't know, maybe we should find out." I responded.

"(I agree, now that I think about it, I heard something similar before we met, and when we were back at your house after swimming.)" Marth said.

"So there have been multiple explosions?" Toon asked.

"(Yeah, we should investigate it. Something could be happening that we don't know about.)"

"I agree with Marth and PokeTrainer, I think we should check it out." Red said. The others nodded.

"It'll take too much time if we run so, Yukiko do you mind if we both try to levitate everyone to the area? It'll give us birds-eye view and we'd get there faster." I asked.

"Not at all," Yukiko responded. Both of our eyes started to glow and we were all in the air, above the trees. We could see half of the region. There were several large purple orbs that seemed to be sucking in the terrain around it. We headed east, seeing that was the direction the explosion came from. We found another one of those purple orbs. It wasn't as large as the others indicating it was new. We landed on the ground safely and slowly walked up to the orb. We stopped a few feet away from it. Toon Link was about to move forward more but I stopped him.

"Don't go any closer. If you can't see, that thing is sucking in the terrain. Take a look." I said as I picked up a rock. I threw it close to the orb. It was inches away and sucked in immediately.

"You see. If we go any closer we'd get sucked into who knows what! And it seems to be expanding every minute; we can't stay here too long." I said.

"Should we get a sample of it?" Yukiko asked.

"I'd rather not risk it. We could create another one of those things if we do and we wouldn't want that to happen."

"Yeah, you're right it's too risky. Maybe we should find out who did this?"

"The only clues we have are that whoever did it used some sort of bomb to do it. And, whoever made it used some type of subspace material."

"Wait, didn't we hear something about the research facility doing research on subspace?"

"Yeah, they were. So should we check out the Island of the Ancients?"

"I was thinking around the area because they did research everywhere."

"Then let's go before this thing gets any closer to sucking us in." I finished as we began to take off again. This time we let the boys control their movements in the air.

Marth floated over to me and we began to slow down. He grabbed hold of my hand and gave me his reassuring smile that gave me hope. I smiled back at him, reassuring him. We didn't need words, it was like we could read each other without talking. We both started blushing and started to burst into laughter for no apparent reason. I had to drag him over to the others, but before we reached the others I had lost my focus and we both began plummeting to the ground. And yet again Yukiko and the others didn't take notice. Marth had pulled me into a protective hold while I tried to find a way to soften our fall. I finally thought of something. My brown eyes then began to glow a leaf green color. Below us a large pile of leaves and flower petals had arose. It'd still be a crash landing but at least we wouldn't get as hurt. We landed with a large whoosh behind us. Marth still had me in his arms, and his grip didn't loosen. I saw him staring at me with those warm sapphire eyes of his. His warm smile had gone away, replaced with a worried frown. I removed a strand of hair from face and welcomed him with my own warm smile to try to get him to loosen up.

"Marth, I'm fine." I reassured him.

"(I know, I just-)" He said before I cut him off.

Yeah, I'm going to split this Chapter in half seeing as this is already getting long and I still have a lot to write. I will post the second half later.
