Chapter 4: FREEEEEDOM! Part 2


In a dark place:

"Hmmm...fifteen, eh? Well, that's certainly larger than expected...All right, Eggman, we'll try your strategy, instead of Darkrai's."

"Glad you see it my way, X.", said the rounded madman.

"I still think-", began a dark, phantom-like voice, when X cut him off.

"You've had your say in this, Darkrai, and your strategy will be used when practical. Case dismissed." And with that, the meeting ended. Eggman walked out, giving Darkrai a popular central-finger gesture on the way.

"What IS his strategy, then?", asked a small, floating knight.

"Lay low and keep waiting.", said a pissed Bean. "Oooooo...I HAVE FURY!"

Meanwhile, in random hallway 1...

"So, Amy, what's up with you and Sonic? Are you his sister or something?", asked Daisy.

"Nope. Girlfriend.", she said with a squeal.

"Tell the truth...", Daisy said.

"Okay, I'm his friend. But I Will be his girlfriend by New Years' Eve. Besides, he doesn't have an escape route from me out here!"

"YET", came a voice from under the floor.

"Ha ha, your hilarious, Knuckles.", she responded. "Tell ya what, when you grow a pair and confront Sonic, maybe I'll appreciate your advice."

"Shut it. Just take your big mouth and shut it. You think I'm afraid of him? I'm digging to get back at YOU."

Amy stopped dead. "What do you mean, you coward? Collapsing the school won't do you any good."

"No no, you misunderstand. See this tunnel is an ESCAPE TUNNEL."

"You. Wouldn't. Dare."

Daisy was confused for a moment, then got it. "It's an escape route for Sonic, isn't it?", she asked.

"Knuckles! You better not mess things up between me and Sonic!", screamed Amy.

"Pfft! Please, I wouldn't possibly mess things up between you two. That's YOUR job."

"Knuckles!"

"Oh, by the way, I stole your hair gel and dumped it down the drain. And now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta connect this to the dorms..." The digging sound went to the left, then faded. Amy stood there, eye twitching with rage.

"KNUCKLES!"


Meanwhile, in random hallway 2...

"Marioooooo! Help me!", screamed Luigi as he ran straight into his big bro. "Ghost's! There's ghost's in the bathroom!"

"What-a the hell are you talking about? I was in there 5 minutes ago.", said Mario, with a frog in his throat. Luigi didn't notice for awhile, with his panic attack and all, then asked about it. "Peach's 500 repeat punishment. I lost my voice!." Somewhere, Gannon smiled. "Now, what's-a all this about spooks?"

"I was just in there, fixing the toilet, when-"

"Wait. The toilet's already clogged? It's-a twelve-thrity!"

"Just listen! I-"

"KNUCKLES!", came a scream from...somewhere. Both bros covered their ears, doubled over in pain.

"What-a the hell was THAT?!", asked Luigi.

"What?!", screamed Mario, who was obviously deaf. But Luigi apparently wasn't the most observant person.

"I said-"

"What?!"

"Never mind!", screamed Luigi as he stormed off, the 'ghost in the bathroom' story lost in his memory.

"Hey! Wait-a up!", screamed Mario, who took off after him. "Luigi, wait!" Mario couldn't hear Wario screaming in terror as he dashed into Mario with his pants down. He turned Mario (who was still standing up, somehow) around, then shook him back and forth as he screamed "There's a ghost in the bathroom!"

"What?!", asked Mario, who was still deaf. Wario just ran down the hallway, and as Mario turned to watch, he saw that Wario's pants were down. "Mama mia...", he said just before fainting.


Back at the dorms...

Samus was insistent. Nothing else would do. If this didn't happen, she would...well, she wouldn't do anything, because this was GOING TO HAPPEN.

"NO! For the last time, I'm not giving Snake my number!", screamed Peach.

"But it's the only way he'll trade rooms with us! I just have to be near Sylux! He's plotting, I KNOW IT!"

"Then go bunk with him!", yelled Zelda.

"EWWW! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE?!", screamed Samus.

"Uhh...", said Zelda.

"Exactly! And I don't wanna either!", said our favorite bounty hunter.

"Forget it! It's not happening!"

"Please?"

"NO!"

"Pretty please?"

"NO!"

"Pretty please with sugar on top?"

"NO!"

"Pretty please with sugar on top, on the sides, and underneath?"

"NO!"

"Okay, pretty please in the form of one big lump of sugar?"

"Wha...NO!"

"Please guys, he's the only one who ever got away from me!"

"Oh well if that's the case...NO!"

"Okay.", Samus said with a calm smile.

"NO-wait, what?"

"I already gave it to him.", she said.

"YOU HEARTLESS BITCH! I'M GONNA *censored* KILL YOU!", Peach screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Can ya do it once we're done moving? I'm gonna need to start surveillance ASAP.", she said.

"Grrrrr...", was Peach's response.

"Great! Good thing we haven't unpacked yet!"


Meanwhile, in the...figure it out.

"Poyo!", screamed Kirby, as he was surfing the web. The Popstar gang was already trying to find the perfect piece of land to buy. The rest of them were checking out books at the counter.

"You boys trying to build something?", asked the librarian, Mr. Winter. He wasn't quite sure, but these books on architecture seemed to be flowing from the shelves. In reality, Bio Spark was just really fast at throwing.

"Not yet. First we need a...what's it called again?", asked Knuckle Joe.

"A land title-deed.", Meta Knight replied.

"Yeah, one of those.", Knuckle Joe finished. "Say, you wouldn't know anyplace totally worthless? Money-wise, I mean."

"Mmmm...well, last summer a forest to the south did become a swamp...river aperantly was diverted by a seismic event. Now it's a bog, so land value must have dropped."

"Gee, thanks Mr. Winter.", replied Knuckle Joe.

"Think nothing of it. I just had to repay you for helping me clean place this up. Still don't know what those kids did at lunch..."

"It was nothing, really. We're used to cleaning up after Dedede, here.", said MK.

"Hey! When did I make a mess?", Dedede asked. "Ya know what? Don't answer!"

"Aww...and I was just about to start...", MK moaned sarcastically.


To the Headmaster's office! Dadada, dadada, dada DOMDOMDOM...That was dumb...I'm sorry...

"AND TO THINK I EXPECTED BETTER OF YOU! WELL, NO MORE, TOON LINK!", screamed the Headmaster.

"What?! I was just helping with the photoco-", started the troublesome pre-teen when he was cut off.

"NICE TRY, BUT YOUR ACCOMPLICES ALREADY RATTED YOU OUT!"

"Damn it! I knew I should have gone solo...", Toonie said. He glared at the two to his left, Waluigi and Bowser Jr., who were actually whistling nonchalantly.

"You three are in for a world of hurt! Ready? Here goes...I've assigned Link, Bowser, and Wario to watch you like hawks!", said Master Hand.

"AND THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PUNNISH US? I'm not affraid of Link!", stated Toonie. "And I'm pretty sure Bowser won't rat out his son, and Wario wouldn't-"

"There getting PAID.", Master Hand interrupted.

"Oh crap...", said Waluigi.

"They get 1000 credits for every time they foil one of you're pranks. NO MORE INK BOMBS NOW, HUH?"

"Your over reacting.", Jr. said.

"Crazy Hand begs to differ! He's so traumatized he's afraid to be seen!"

"There's a difference between traumatized and filthy, ya know...", Toon Link said, regretting it almost instantly.

"THAT'S IT!" Master Hand pressed a buzzer on his desk. "Maria, send in the hawks please, would you?", he asked in a super calm voice.

In came Link, Bowser, and Wario, who was being dragged by the former.

"What happened to him?", asked MH, pointing at Wario, who had curled up like an armadillo.

"He went to the bathroom, came back screaming about ghosts with his pants off, and curled up into his present form.", said Link.

"OH FOR CRYING OUT-" He pressed the buzzer again. "MARIA, TELL TO CHECK THE BATHROOMS FOR BOOS!"

"Okay, but he'll probably drink it...", she said. Everyone laughed, except MH and Wario, of course.

"UGH! IF IT WASN'T PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, I'D SHOOT MYSELF!", Master Hand screamed.


TIMESKIP TO 3 P.M.

"Why are we here? I need-a to go unpack!", said Waluigi.

"Because of the monthly Smash meeting.", replied Sonic. "We touch up on whatever happened in the last month, or in this case, two, and we-" Sonic stopped talking when Blaze walked up to them. "YOU! Where the hell were you hiding?", he demanded.

"The one place you'd never go: the pool.", she replied with a smirk. She waited for his ranting to stop before she sat down, enjoying every moment.

Now the Smashers were flowing into the meeting place: the Peace Garden. 40/50 had shown up. Then, as Kirby and gang showed, Meta Knight stood at the base of the big yew he had spent the morning up in. He counted heads, 1, 2, 3, and so on until...

"Where are Tails and the Lylat group?", asked MK. No answer. "Well then, if they don't show, we'll just have to wait."

"Awwww...can't we just catch them up tomorrow? I hate waiting!", screamed Sonic, who then received a blow to the head from Amy. "Never mind..."

"WAIT, WAIT! WE'RE HERE!", screamed Tails as he rushed in the door. Suddenly, he tripped over Sonic's leg *coincidence? NO!* and went flying into Blaze.

"There, we're even", Sonic said to the both of them. When the Lylat group sitting down on the grass with everyone else, MK began.

"Thank you for coming, all of you.", he said. "First off, I'd like to welcome our fifteen newcomer's, and say it is an honour working with you all." Some clapping occurred, and Meta started again. "Secondly, I would like everyone to know that the 'Popstar Brotherhood', as we have declared ourselves, will NOT be staying at the dorms this year." There were wild cheers, most coming from the male vets. And stay out!, Good riddance to bad trash!, and more could be heard. "Yes, yes, we all knew you'd respond like this, so we thought this might dampen your spirits." He pulled out a document from under his cape and held it up. "This is a copy of the land title deed we used YOUR MONEY to buy." Everyone stopped laughing. Amy hit Sonic over the head and Blaze kicked him in the groin. Before he could say ouch, he blacked out. "Well, since Sonic is now under the weather, I'll make this brief. If ANY tresspassers are caught in the bog to the south, any member of the Popstar Brotherhood has every right to beat them down."

"WHAT?!", screamed Red.

"Big tough Meta, thinks he's all...tough.", said Ness.

Meta Knight unsheathed Galaxia. "You want to fight, Ness?", he asked.

"...No." There were giggles.

"Good. Now, is there anything anyone wants to say?", asked Meta. Luigi raised his hand. "Yes, green bean?"

"There are ghosts in the bathroom! Wario says so too!", he exclaimed. Knuckle Joe just smiled.

"Anything not revolving around Luigi and ghosts?", asked MK. No one raised their hands. "Good. Meeting adjourned."

P.S. I OWN NOTHING!
