This is PerfectPhoenix here, telling the Christmas Special of the Smashers. This has three parts, with two Christmas stories and a complete Christmas celebration.
It was snowing at the Smash Mansion, and there were several small ice rinks and tons of snow. It was enough to cover at your waist at least. The kids (Toon Link, Ness, Lucas, Ice Climbers, Tails, and Kirby) were firing snowballs at each other, but Kirby was literally firing snowballs from his mouth, and the other kids were covered in them. In the ice rinks, Link and Zelda were ice skating a beautiful duet, and their moves were perfect. They were enjoying it and they were going in for a kiss until Kirby hit Link with a snowball clear in the head, and that made him fall on his face. They began laughing until Link threw a bomb and then the Star Warrior swallowed that too and became Ice Bomb Kirby. Everyone broke for it as the puffball threw the bone-chilling explosives.
Inside, everyone was singing a happy Christmas Carol song, all except for Mikee, who stood in his usual position with arms crossed. Shadow was also with him, but on the other side of the wall. The entire Mansion was brightly decorated with the colors of Christmas. Hanging snowflakes and the smell of gingerbread wafted around the entire house. This kind of stuff would put a smile on Mikee's face, but it wasn't exactly the smells of Christmas. It was Dawn's mood, and she was happy. That made him happy has well, but he felt sorry for Shadow though. He heard about his loved one, Maria Robotnik, and how she died in front of Shadow's eyes by the people he protected. So, Mikee felt some sympathy for him.
They had a job to do today, and that was to be the Caroler's escorts through Smashville. There was no threat of the villains, but you never know. The Horde was still around, and even the Horde Commandos. Just because they follow rules doesn't mean evil does. It was going to be easy, and the Caroling Smashers were doing it for a good cause: to fix up their healing chambers. Lately, the machines have been malfunctioning, and they needed money to buy replacements, or else the Smashers will have to turn into trophies.
"Shadow, Mikee, it's time to go you two!" Princess Peach called out to them. Both of them nodded and followed out the small crowd of Peach, Jigglypuff, Dawn, Zelda, and Toon Link outside to the cold air and pretty deep snow. It was already above their feet, and each step made a sound whenever they stepped along the path, but they weren't going to walk. They looked at Shadow and Mikee as they both nodded. Shadow took out a Chaos Emerald.
"I got this." He said and held up his Chaos Emerald in the air. He said two worlds out loud. "Chaos Control!" After the sentence was finished, the whole group vanished quickly, leaving behind some melting snow as a round circle around them.
They appeared inside the town of Smashville, landing on the near-frozen tile. They almost slipped, but everyone regained their balance. The singing and touring the houses commenced after that. Mikee and Shadow just stood about a few feet from them singing. As they went from house to house, Mikee noticed that they barely received money from the singing. The reason was because all of the people in the homes went late-Christmas shopping and barely have any money left. This didn't seem right to Mikee. It was Christmas Eve. Also, the Smashers saved the world countless times, shouldn't they be grateful for that?
The Smashers all took a break at the last house. They looked at their donation box, which was not even close to the money they need. It was only about fifty-eight coins, and they needed about four hundred, maybe more.
"Sorry everyone, but our coin count is pretty low. It's nothing close to what we need." Peach told the group. They moaned in displeasure.
"We need those healing chambers for the future in case one of us is injured badly against the Horde!" Toon Link reminded them.
"Heh, I recall the only one using the chambers is Mikee here, since he's always getting his butt kicked every time he gets into a fight." Shadow commented. Mikee just shot him a look, and Dawn calmed him down.
"Well, what can we do? I think we can sell cookies and such, but who would buy cookies on Christmas Eve?" Toon Link asked. It was true, and since it was the day before Christmas, people were all packed up and ready for the celebration in Smashville. There was probably no actual chance to get more coins. The group sighed as Mikee looked around the town.
Suddenly, there was a sudden explosion in town square, and the group reacted. Both Shadow, Mikee, and Toon Link assumed battle stance and the blaster appeared, revealing himself to be Bowser. The Koopa King was on one of his battleships, and it had three medieval cannons aimed at the three. His booming laughter was heard from all over Smashville.
"BWAHAHAHAHA! Everyone fear the mighty Bowser! You will all perish soon with my weapon to ruin Christmas!" He yelled. The turtle glanced at Shadow and Mikee as they both took out their power source.
"Chaos-" Shadow muttered.
"Shadow-" Mikee muttered.
The Koopa King laughed as both of them finished their sentence.
"Control! Warp!" Both of them yelled and vanished. In a second, there was an impact, and a bubble was revealed. Both Shadow and Mikee yelled out grunts and landed on the town square. Their movement was stopped by a force field.
"Nice try, but I expected that. This force field doesn't allow anyone to interrupt my speech! Now, as the villain of this series, I believe it will be my own tradition to ruin Christmas! Sure, the Horde is welcome to try, but they have something I don't. I have a secret laser cannon that can wipe out this entire town! I'll unleash its wrath at midnight tonight. Once it's unleashed, the entire city and the Smash Mansion will be nothing but rubble!" Bowser declared, getting numerous gasps and some screams.
"Bowser, why do you have to show your face and ruin the spirit of Christmas for everyone in the city?" Toon Link asked.
"It's because I'm evil like that. Deal with it kid." Bowser stated and the cannons took aim, this time at the women behind them. The three of them looked back at Peach, Zelda, Dawn, and Jigglypuff. As Bowser fired the cannons, Shadow grabbed Peach and kicked away Jigglypuff while Toon Link took Zelda's hand and pulled her away while Mikee took Dawn's hand and they both got out as the bombs hit. The explosion knocked the group flying as Bowser made his get-away. Everyone was separated from the blast and they rose back up easily. It wasn't really much of an explosion.
"Damn it, he got away! Maybe I can catch up to him and try to take out that shield with my Shine Blast attackā¦" Mikee thought out loud, but he knew that it wouldn't work either way.
"Heh, this is a first from Bowser. Who would've guessed he would have tried to pull a stunt like this?" Shadow suggested. The Smashers just gave him a look and he stepped back. They had to get back to the Smashers and deal with the situation. Before they warped, Mikee looked back at the town that they were going to save. In his mind, he wondered if this town was actually worth saving.
"Hmm, this is a terrible situation." Mario said out loud as the group briefed him on Bowser's actions. Luigi was baking some cookies in the kitchen while this was happening.
"Yeah, it's bad. What's worse, we don't even know where he is, or what he's doing. The laser can come from anywhere." Peach told him.
"It could be that he's bluffing the whole thing just to get a good scare out of everyone." Mario asked.
"No, it was real. Why else would he have a force field around that flying ship of his?" Mikee mentioned, getting Mario's nod.
"It's a pretty simple mission actually. We just have to find Bowser, ask him where the laser cannon is, stop the process, and save the town. That's pretty easy on my case. His castle isn't that far from the Mushroom Kingdom." Mario explained.
"Fine, we'll go and ask him personally. Come on, I'm itching to kick some rear!" Mikee declared and got up. He vanished, and after an awkward silence, he returned.
"Uh, which direction is the Mushroom Kingdom?"
"Mikee, I know you mean well, but you better let me handle this. Luigi, Peach, come on. We have a laser to stop, and I know exactly what we should do." Mario said as they ran out of the Mansion. Mikee watched with a little anger in his eyes as he went outside too. Dawn followed and every one resumed Christmas decorating. The next second, Smashers were chanting, "Chug, Chug, chug!" It was Captain Falcon drinking eggnog against Donkey Kong.
Mikee stood next to the tree with his arms crossed and his hardened expression. He looked upon the city and clenched his fists. Why save a town that wasn't going to help their heroes?
"Mikee, are you all right up here?" He heard Dawn call his name as he saw her approach.
"No, I'm not exactly all right. Sure, the Mansion might be destroyed, but there's going to be no stopping that princess-obsessed turtle. Even if we save the town, what will they do? It is Christmas, not Greedmas." Mikee complained.
"Mikee, we're heroes. We do selfless deeds to save the world. That's a hero's job." Dawn reminded him and smiled. As she said that, a piece of roof collapsed from the snow and Pikachu yelped out in pain and unleashed electricity in the air. Mikee looked like he proved a point to Dawn. She sweat-dropped and he looked back at the city.
"You know, I think we need to teach this town a lesson taught by none other than Dr. Seuss." Mikee mentioned, his eyes glowing slightly.
Hey Guys, I'm running a Christmas Special, and this will go off in three parts. This is simply the prologue. The first part will be the Bowser part, where Mario, Luigi, and Peach will confront Bowser about the laser. We'll see what happens there.
The second part will be Mikee's adventure, where he goes through his plans as well. These two parts will be in the same time as each other.
The final part is my own custom Christmas celebration, where everyone celebrates, even the bad guys. Well, not all of them.
I apologize yet again for the slow updates, but right now, I'm kind of on break until February, and I will hopefully get updates sooner than expected, but I never know. I will be putting a bit more effort in the comics, and I'm working on the sprites for the rest of the cast. I finally perfected Mikee and Dawn, so now on to the bad guys.
The next chapter of ROTH is halfway complete, so expect that within the week.
Power Academy is going pretty well, so expect an update soon on that.
Thanks for reading! I'll say Merry Christmas at the end of the Special.
Last thing: I'm planning a New Year's Special, but I need your votes on the Hero and Heroine couple. It will be centered on that couple having an awesome new year. Please, get friends to vote for this! Here are the couples to vote for:
