"Welcome back to the Mario Kart Grand Prix! For some odd reason, Palutena isn't with me at the moment but whatever. For now, I'm here live with the racers as they are making some modifications to their rides." He said.
"You're transforming my ride to a submarine?" Sonic asked.
"Well, if I don't, you'd be a sitting duck...or in this case, a sitting hedgehog." Tails chuckled, working on his ride.
"Riiiight..." Sonic rolled his eyes.
"That should do it." Nitori said, done with her work.
"You just put an air tank behind my bike..." Marisa said.
"Yes, but this air tank is special. Once you go underwater, it'll automatically give you air so you won't have to hold your breath anymore." Nitori smiled.
"That's awesome!" Marisa smiled.
"What are you putting on the metal horses?" Sora asked.
"Non-rusting wax. It shouldn't be able to rust after what happened at Water Park." Zelda said.
"Non-rusting...wax? That's a thing?" Sora wondered.
"Yep." Zelda nodded.
Suddenly, someone screamed as they turned to see Palutena running to them with a huge smile on her face. "What is it, Lady Palutena?" Pit asked.
"Read this!" Palutena smiled as Pit took it.
"Dear Lady Palutena, you are invited to fight in the latest Super Smash Bros tournament. Come to the Smash Mansion and we'll get you signed up. – Master Hand." Pit read.
"WHAT?!" Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Zelda, and Sonic yelled at the same time.
"Didn't see that coming." Tails said.
"I'm still waiting for my invitation..." Daisy muttered, glaring at Rosalina.
"You seriously need to Let it Go." Rosalina sighed.
"DON'T YOU PULL A FROZEN REFERENCE ON ME!" Daisy yelled.
"And that's not all, apparently some guy named Mii and Pac-Man are also in there as well." Palutena said.
"PAC-MAN?!" Mario and Sonic yelled.
"First Mega Man, and now Pac-Man... so much for Snake returning..." Sonic muttered.
"Oh I am so excited for this!" Palutena has a huge smile on her face.
"So are we going to tell the viewers who are standing in the places?" Lakitu asked.
"They can check the last chapter...I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF AT THE MOMENT!" Palutena yelled.
"Okay then..." Lakitu said.
"So we got Kid Icarus reps now..." Sonic said, looking at Mario. "This might be interesting."
"Especially Pac-Man..." Mario said.
"Right." Sonic nodded.
"Gee...I hope Knuckles or Shadow gets invited." Tails said.
Back on the track...
"THREE! TWO! ONE! GO!" A Lakitu yelled as they drove off.
"Man, I can't wait to hear that in the tournament!" Palutena smiled.
"Am I going to hear you fangirling all the time in this race?" Lakitu asked.
"Maybe." Palutena smiled.
"Thanks for the warning." Lakitu sighed.
Everyone drove right into the water, as Sonic's car immediately transformed into a submarine. "Way to go, Tails." Sonic smiled.
Heh, this is pretty sweet. Marisa thought as she was in the water and already breathing.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that there are BOOS in this race? Luigi thought as he was underwater.
Did we go through those walls that fast? Rosalina thought.
"Okay, is it just me or did they go through the walls that fast?" Palutena wondered.
"Yep...it was a blink and you miss it moment." Lakitu said.
Everyone got out of the water as most of them breathed a sigh of relief but Marisa and Sonic went past them. "Why couldn't Nitori give one to us all?" Luigi asked as they drove through.
"Lucky bastards..." Zelda muttered as they drove off the gliding ramp and glided through.
Marisa and Sonic drifted through the corners and made their way into their second lap...while everyone else was behind, and as soon as Luigi turned, a Boo possessed a statue and it hammered down on Luigi.
"OUCH! Poor Luigi." Palutena said.
"Ah, he's probably used to ghost pranks like that." Lakitu said.
"Stupid Boos..." Luigi muttered as he drove off.
"And now everyone is in their second lap." Lakitu said.
Reimu was next to Marisa. "I wish Nitori gave me an air tank." She said.
"Yeah well, I struggle with water ever since Kingfin so she's looking out for me." Marisa smiled.
"I'd hold your breath, Reimu." Sonic said, pointing ahead.
Reimu looked ahead and sweatdropped. "THIS AGAIN?!" She yelled as they drove in the water.
Natsu and Gray glared at each other underwater, as they kept bumping into each other, as that would just keep making things worse, considering they're underwater.
Pit drove underwater like it was nothing, but still struggling not to drown and noticing Zelda speeding past him. What do you know, that wax DOES work... He thought.
Once everyone got out of the water...and Marisa and Sonic WAY ahead, they sped up.
"I thought Pit had strong lungs...he was struggling." Lakitu said.
"He minored in branchial respiration." Palutena said.
"So...that's a good thing?" Lakitu wondered.
"Yep, he can hold his breath for a very long time underwater, but if something bumps him, he loses a lot of air." Palutena explained.
"That makes sense...considering Viridi playfully bumped him...and Samus violently bumping him." Lakitu nodded in understanding.
Marisa put down a banana peel before they hit the gliding ramp, and then Sora drove over it, slipped and fell down below. "Why I oughta..." He muttered and sped up.
Marisa and Sonic drifted through the Boo possessed statues as they slammed into Peach, Roxas, and Mario.
"OW!" The trio yelled as they drove off.
"Everyone is in their last lap now! THIS IS GETTING INTENSE!" Lakitu exclaimed and looked at Palutena. "Uh...Palutena?" He said, waving his hand in front of him.
Palutena wasn't paying attention, she was currently thinking of Smash Bros at the moment.
"Well...I guess I'll be doing the commentating all by myself, it looks like." Lakitu said.
Everyone quickly drove through the walls as Lakitu looked closely...everyone drove through the item boxes and used mushrooms. "Oh that explains it...but I wonder why only mushrooms." He wondered.
Sonic and Marisa drove in the water again as Rosalina drove right through them with a golden mushroom. "Did she just...?" Sonic wondered as he looked at Marisa as she nodded what she just saw. "I thought so." He said.
Rosalina shot out of the water with a smile. "Glad I got out of that quickly." She smiled.
"You know, I'm going to ask Nitori if I can talk underwater because thanks to this special air tank she made, I can breathe underwater." Marisa said.
"I wouldn't be surprised." Sonic said.
Natsu came out of the water with a blue shell. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled, throwing it, as it hit Rosalina before she could drive through an item box.
"Ow..." Rosalina muttered as Marisa, Sonic and Natsu drove past her.
"WILL IT BE MARISA? WILL IT BE SONIC OR WILL IT BE NATSU?! I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL WIN BUT ROSALINA IS CATCHING UP!" Lakitu yelled.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt hit the four of them as Sora drove past them and crossed the finish line. "IT'S SORA! HE GOT IN FIRST PLACE WITH MARISA IN SECOND AND SONIC IN THIRD!" He yelled, and then looked at Palutena...who was STILL daydreaming.
"And Rosalina in fourth, Natsu in fifth, Mario in sixth, Roxas in seventh, Samus in eighth, Donkey Kong in ninth, Luigi in tenth, Peach in eleventh, Daisy in twelfth, Bowser in thirteenth, Reimu in fourteenth, Pit in fifteenth, Zelda in sixteenth, Yoshi in seventeeth, Shy Guy in eighteenth, Viridi in nineteenth, Toad in twentieth and Gray in last place." Lakitu added, still looking at Palutena.
"I guess we'll end it off here...considering Palutena is dreaming about the tournament. See you at Shy Guy Falls!" Lakitu waved.
Palutena, Mii and Pac-Man are going to be fun fighters.
