Yo! S'up? Everybody having fun tonight?

Why are y'all looking at me like that?

Is it because it's been over a month since the last update?

hehehehe, oopsie.

Well, no worries. Here's the new chapter. It took so long to make and I truly am sorry for the wait. In fact, this is the longest chapter in the story yet. But, I think it's worth the wait. Now, enough dilly-dallying! Let's go!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. Nintendo does. Okay? Okay!

Warning: There's going to be some strong language near the end of this chapter, mainly from Samus. You've been warned!


Chapter Eight: "And Then There Were Twelve" or "The REAL Adventure Begins!"

RRROOOWWWRRR!

"FASTER, EVERYONE! HE'S GAINING ON US!"

Navi's poor little throat was getting sore from all the shouting as Bowser ran after the group like a wolf chasing a flock of sheep. DK was holding on the weaken Luigi as tight as he could. Yoshi had the still-unconscious Mario on his back. Bowser was on their tails, eyes fixed on his prey, jaws a gape, breath on fire, blood boiling, claws outreached and rage through the roof.

The group saw a door at the very end of the hallway. In big bold letters, it reads:

BOWSER ONLY! DO NOT ENTER!

"Look! Up there!" Exclaimed Navi, "The Princess must be in there!"

Bowser roared louder than before, "OH, NO YOU DON'T!" he then picks up the pace.

Link, with some quick thinking, pulled out his bow and arrow and aimed it at one of the Koopa King's eyes. He releases.

SHLICKK!

Bowser hisses in agony; his big claw covering his wounded eye. He stops chasing them as he tends to his infliction.

They finally made it to the door and began to beat it down, seeing how it, just like all the other doors in this ship, was locked. Navi became very antsy again, "Hurry! Hurry! Before he gets us!"

DK simply punched in the door, smiling like a fool at his accomplishment. They ran in and they saw dangling from the ceiling in a cage Princess Peach, who had seen better days: her long, golden silky hair looked more like a hay stack, her pink dress was ripped and stained in rust from the cage, and don't get me started on the smell! Let's just say that being in a cage for days on end without bathing doesn't do your nose any favors.

Peach looked down from her prison, "Mario! I knew you were alive!" She took a second look and noticed that her beloved plumber wasn't moving, lying on Yoshi's back. "Mario? Mario! Are you okay‽"

"Yoshi! Yoshi!" cried the green dinosaur as he explained what happened.

"Oh, my!" Peach gasped, "Please! Get my down! I what to see him up close!"

"How do we get you done?" Asked the little blue fairy.

Peach answered, "Over by the wall there's a—wait a minute, who are you?"

The fairy bowed, "I'm Navi the fairy, Your Highness. And this is my friend Link." He addressed the young swordsman as he simply bowed his head in respect.

"Oh!" Peach exclaimed, seeing the new faces in Mario's entourage, "Well, sorry, but there's no time for proper introductions. There's a button on the wall over there." She points to a spot on the wall that got everyone's attention. "Push it!"

DK rushed to the button and pressed on it, causing the cage to drop. The great ape then ran to the cage and using his mighty hands pried the bars apart. "Thank you, Donkey." Peach acknowledged the primate as she slipped through the bars and ran up to the out plumber. She puts a hand on him, "Mario! Wake up! It's me, Peach!"

No response.

"Mario! Answer me!" the Princess shouted fearfully.

Mario still didn't react.

Peach began to cry, "Please, Mario! Answer me!"

"Bowser hit him pretty good, Your Highness." Navi said, "I don't know if he's going to make it."

"Hold your tongue!" Peach commanded the fairy, who flinched at her sudden outburst. Peach rubbed her hand around Mario's head and felt a rather decent sized swelling. "He's got a pretty nasty knot on his head. If we could just wake him up-"

RRROOOAAARRR!

"EEP!" Peach squealed as Bowser busted through the door, his eye no longer tormented by the arrow, but his lids were closed shut around the wounded organ.

"THAT'S IT!" thundered Bowser, "I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU ALL! TIME TO DESTROY YOU!"

Link quickly drew out the Master Sword while DK set Luigi aside as he raised his big fists. They remembered what happened earlier, but they didn't really have much of a choice now, do they? Unsurprising, Bowser back-hands the two, hitting them against a wall; Link became dazed from the impact, DK ooked goofily as his eyes spun around in a dizzy-spell.

Yoshi tried once again to lick up the turtle-monster, obviously Bowser was too enormous for the green dinosaur to swallow and the Koopa King grabbed Yoshi's tongue and swung him around with it like a sling before letting go; the little green dinosaur zipping threw the air and hitting the wall, knocking him unconscious as well.

"AND AS FOR YOU!" He hollered, turning his attention to the Princess, "I'LL HIDE YOU SOMEPLACE WHERE NO ONE WILL EVER FIND YOU!"

Peach trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, "No! Please, no! Don't touch me! NO!" She tries swatting at the oncoming beast.


FOOF!

A boy appears out of thin-air, covered in soot from the small puff of smoke he was conjured from. He shook himself of the black substance after he coughed up some soot. "Now that's what I call fast travel." He said to himself, "I'll have to thank Prince Poo for teaching me that little trick."

The boy looks around; he finds himself in a series of hallways. "Now wait just a minute: Where the heck am I? I should be at my hometown of Onett! Did I make a wrong turn at Albuquerque?"

AAHHH!

The boy turned to the sound of a woman's scream. "Someone's in trouble." He rushed to the sound's origin and was surprised when he witnessed a helpless princess in the clutches of a massive monster. "Unhand her, you fiend!" the boy exclaimed as he rushed to the beast.

"What the?" the monster Bowser rotates to the boy who wasn't even knee-high to the brute. "Guards! Intruder!" A pair of Zebesian Pirates crawled from the sides of the door like a couple of creepy-crawly insects. They straighten themselves and aim their pincer-like blasters at him. The boy didn't even look at the guards behind him, he simply flicked his hand and the two were pulled back against the wall with great force, as if some invisible hand got a hold of them and tossed them like rag dolls. Bowser snorted, "What sorcery is this‽ That's my gig!"

"My name is Ness!" The boy explained, "I have the power to manipulate the world around me using the power of the mind." He points to Bowser, "And I will not tolerate you hurting innocent princesses. I will give you a chance to let her go or else I will have to take matters into my own hands."

"You dare defy the Great and Terrible Bowser‽" the Monster growled, his raising urge to punish the boy for his treat resulted in him tightening his grip on the Princess, which in effect, caused her to gasp in pain. Bowser felt his belly firing up again, "I'll just have to teach you a lesson!"

With a quick sniff of air, he shoots a stream of bright flames at the boy. But to his surprise, Ness was not harm! He conjured a small bubble that concealed him and warded the flames. Bowser growled again, "How are you doing that‽"

"I told you! The power of the mind!" said Ness, "Now, this is your last warning: unhand her or else!"

WA-PAM!

Bowser swung his mighty fist at Ness, but the boy dodged it quickly. Ness, in a split second, realized that one of Bowser's eyes was wounded. This gave him an idea.

"PK Fire!"

With that shout and a gesture of the hand, a bolt of swift energy escaped his fingers and directly into Bowser's good eye, resulting in a flame that singed his brow. Pained, Bowser releases the Princess to cover his new wound.

But don't you worry about Peach; she landed safely next to Ness.

Blinded, Bowser roared and trampled aimlessly around the chamber, slashing his claws this way and there in helpless need to find the boy who took his sight. "Gah! Where are you‽‽"

"Quick, Ma'am!" Ness said, grabbing Peach's arm, "Let's go before he gains back his sight!"

Peach pulled back, "Wait! I can't leave without my friends!"

Ness then realized the small band that surrounded him and the Princess. At first, he thought it would take too long to round them up and get; but they were the Princess's friends. So, using his psychic powers, he lifted them up and moved them to the exit.

Ness groaned, "Oh, man. It's been a while since I did this!" he put a hand to his forehead. "It's giving me a headache!"

GRRR!

Bowser had regained his sight, and saw the boy levitating the crew. "Oh, no you don't!" he growled before he rushed at him.

With quick thinking, Ness used another one of his PSI powers.

"PK Flash!"

A blot of green light was generated from the ether and slowly made its way toward the charging brute of a turtle. Once the flash of light was close enough, it detonated; And the Koopa King fell flat on his back, out like a light.

"That should take care of him long enough for us to make a break for it." Ness explained.

Peach kneeled and hugged the boy, "Thank you so much, young man." She then plants a kiss on his cheek, in effect causing Ness to turn as red as a tomato. Peach then looked at Mario's band, they were all knock-out; even the little fairy was hit unconscious. She even noticed Luigi, who was so pale and weak-looking and laced in cuts and bruises that he almost appeared dead! "Oh, I hope this isn't asking too much, but could you do just one more thing for me?"

Ness nodded, "Anything for you, fair princess."

"Could it be possible that your powers can fix my friends?"

Ness looked at them, and he remembered this one trick Prince Poo taught him. "Absolutely, your majesty!" He inhaled and concentrated, "PSI Healing!" a calm, friendly light enveloped the fallen group of heroes.

Quickly, the group started to get up; the bump on Mario's head finally reduced and Luigi! Oh! He looked worlds better than before: His skin was no longer that ghostly white, all the inflictions that were put upon him were gone. He even got his full moustache back!

They woke up and looked around confusingly. "Mama mia…" rang the voice of the red plumber, "What happened?"

"MARIO!"

"OOF!"

Mario was pinned down by the pink-cladded princess and was assaulted with dozens of kisses. A little startled at first, but he found out who it was, he smiled and hugged her. "Princess!" he spoke, "You're okay!"

"Yes, Mario." Peach answered, "And I'm so happy you came for me." She kisses him some more.

Ness then took the time to observe the group he just healed—oh, wow! They were a very…different party then wait Ness was used to traveling with. But he'd seen weirder things. Much weirder things.

Mario then gets up, "I'm so happy to see you're okay. OH!" He remembers. "Where's Bowser?" He raises his fists, "That big palooka! I'll tie him in knots! I'll…I'll…"

Peach puts a shoulder on him, "Easy, Love. Ness took care of him."

"Oh, he did, didn't he? Wait!" he turns to Peach, "Who's Ness."

"He is."

Mario and the group looked at the boy. "You defeated Bowser‽" the small voice of Navi chimed like a psalm. "But how'd you do that?"

Ness smiled, "I have the power of the mind. But I'll tell you more about it later. Right now, let's get out of here before he wakes up!"

He as well as everyone else ran out the room and into the labyrinthine halls.


"RRAAAGGHHH!"

Samus's wails echoed throughout the halls as she, Fox, Kirby and their newest member Pikachu were being ambushed by a hoard of cronies. The group blasted and zapped their way through the hoard as the minions lay defeated in the hero's wake.

PEOO!

PEOO!

PEOO!

Fox shot his blaster endlessly at the oncoming wave of underlings. "Where's the end to this thing?" he whined.

Kirby and Pikachu made a cute little tag team strategy: Pikachu would fry the enemies with its electric shocks and Kirby follows up by inhaling them in and gulping them down. Mmm-mmm.

Once all the minions were finally dealt with, Fox saw the way to the ship's control room. "Look!" he ordered, "The control room's dead ahead!"

SHLING!

A long, sharp blade of a sword appeared and resided at Fox's throat, startling the vulpine. The sword belonged to none other than Ganondorf, who smirked slightly in confidence. "And what do you think you're up to?"

His voice got the attention of the others. Pikachu became angry and assumed positioned on all fours, little zips and zaps fleeing from its cheeks. Kirby tilted his head at the man with the sword. Samus pointed her arm-cannon at Ganon. "Drop your weapon!" she shouted.

Ganondorf chuckled, "Or?"

"Drop it!"

Ganon simply lifted his fist, revealing a golden triangle on the back. Then a mighty gust of power shot out; it sent Kirby and Pikachu flying, but Samus somehow stayed put. This made Ganondorf raise a brow but was impressed, "Not bad, Space-lady! Ridley wasn't lying when he said you're tough."

Samus shot out her grapple beam at the Gerudo King and pulled him in. "You bet your sweet ass I am!"

As Samus was about to club him with her arm-cannon, Ganondorf swung his mighty sword at the bounty hunter, cutting into her power suit; it fizzed a bit, blinking in and out of the ether from the blow, not unlike how that 'fat bastard' at DK Isle knocked her down.

"Shit!" she hissed, "Not again."

Lucky for Samus, the blade didn't cut deep enough to cause any bodily harm to the woman inside; but the blow was still very intense.

Ganon chuckled again, "Looks like you're not as tough as Ridley promised…"

PIT-TEW!

Fox's pistil spat out a torrent of little beams that plagued Ganondorf's back. With a groan, he turns around to lash at the vulpine only for the Fox to dodge the attack.

"Missed me!" Fox bragged. Ganondorf swings his sword again, resulting in another successful dodge. Fox teased again, "Nice try. I think I felt alittle wind that time!"

"Arrraugh!" the Gerudo groaned in irritation as he continued to swing his sword at Fox who keeps dodging. This goes on until Ganondorf grabbed Fox's neck; Fox began to squirm in the Gerudo's grasp. "That's enough of you!" he growled. He turns back to attack Samus again, but she had recovered from the blow and shot Ganondorf in the chest, knocking him back and releasing Fox.

Fox gasped for breath, "…Thank…you."

"Don't mention it." She replied, "Let's just get to the control room."

They ran to the control room as Kirby and Pikachu got up from Ganon's previous attack. Speaking of Ganon, as he got up, he blocked the way of the two small fries. "You little rat!" he said to the Pikachu, "I'll put you back in that generator one way or another!" Pikachu growled at Ganondorf and got on all four in a threatening position and Kirby bulked himself up to fight back.

DOOWA!

With a wave of his hand, Ganondorf thrusted his wave of black magic at the two and flung them around. "You fools." He chuckled, "My power succeeds yours! You're like toys in my hand!" After a good sweep, the two were pretty beaten up. Ganondorf grabbed the Pikachu and laughed, "Now, to put you back in your place."

As he walks off, something small and pink was infront of him. "What the?" The creature before him kind of looked like Kirby, except it was a lighter shade of pink, had big glistening eyes, cat-like ears and a curl of hair on top its head.

"What the heck are you‽" he ordered.

The creature tilted its head, "Jiggly?"

"Get out of the way, you!"

Ganondorf kicks the puffball out of the way, producing a loud "Pah!" from it. The little round creature got back up and inflated itself in frustration. "Stupid worthless creature!" muttered Ganon. As he began to walk away with the outed Pikachu, the round creature ran infront of him. Ganondorf groaned with impatience, "You dare defy me, creature‽"

The little thing below him pulled (presumably from a pocket) a little microphone. This made Ganondorf laugh, "What are you going to do, creature? Lull me to sleep?"

The creature cleared its throat.

"Ji-i-i-ggly-y-puff. Ji-ggl-y-y-y-puff. Ji-i-i-ggly-y-puff. Ji-ggl-y-y-y-puff. Ji-i-i-ggly-y-puff. Ji-ggl-y-y-y-puff."

As Ganon was about to taunt the little thing and knock it away, he suddenly felt the urged to yawn. "What the-e-a-augh!" His eyes became heavy, and his body longed for relaxation. He loosened his grip on the Pikachu and fell to his knees. It was at this moment that Ganondorf knew exactly what was going on: the creature was lulling him to sleep.

"Well I'll be damned." He uttered before he finally fell to his side with a thud, fast asleep.

The pink creature stopped as Ganondorf landing. It saw him all shut-eyed and sawing logs. This resulted in the little round creature to inflate itself in annoyance, and pulled off the cap of its microphone, revealing a marker tip. It zipped up to the unconscious king and started scribbling all over his face.

Satisfied with its accomplishment, it put the cap back on; its face was painted with triumph. It then heard a Pikachu waking up and Kirby's voice soon followed. Pikachu, after noticing the pink creature, squeaked in surprise and zapped itself behind Kirby, leaving Kirby a little confused at Pikachu's actions.

Pikachu grabbed Kirby's stub of a hand and ran in the direction Samus and Fox ran towards earlier; The little pink creature followed.

CRASH!

Samus was being scrapped along the metal floor by the flying Space-Pirate, Ridley, who was cackling like a complete maniac after snorting an entire bag of cocaine.

"IT FEELS SO WONDERFUL TO DO THIS TO YOU, SAMUS!" he squealed. "AFTER WHAT YOU AND YOUR CONRADES DID TO ME, RETRIBUTION IS FINALLY MINE!"

Samus tried to lift up her arm-cannon at the beast, but Ridley forced her down so hard she could barely move. Pikachu saw the woman that saved it was in trouble, so with quick action, it charged up a bolt of lightning and threw it at Ridley.

The result of phenomenal: Ridley was fried to a crisp and collapsed on the floor. Samus broke free from his grasp and looked at the little Pikachu that helped her. "Thanks, little guy." She said, making Pikachu grin.

Samus noticed the pink round creature next to him and Kirby. "Who's that?" she asked, "Your girlfriend?" Her little joke made the pink thing puff up angrily, implying that the creature was in fact not a female, all the while Kirby and Pikachu tried to hold in their laughter at the thing's anger.

"Samus! Come here!"

Fox's voice was heard from the Control Room and the Bounty Hunter ran to his call with the little creatures following behind her. But unbeknownst to the group, Ridley began to pick himself back up.


"Thanks for the help back there, asshole!" Samus grunted at Fox as she and the other's walked in.

Fox was standing in front of the control panel, pushing buttons in search of anything on the ship's settings that initiated a self-destruct sequence of some kind. Still looking at the controls, he responds to Samus's outburst, "Well, you said you had it under control, and I should just continue finding a way to blow this place up." He looks down to see Kirby and Pikachu accompanied by an unknown creature with a tuff of swirly hair. "Who's the powderpuff?" he asked.

"Never mind that!" Samus stated, "Have you found the 'blow-this-ship-to-smithereens' code yet?"

Fox argued, "Not a thing! How do you even know this ship has a self-destruct setting anyway? You think these guys we're trying to stop are that stupid?"

"Every ship, base and institute I've ever been to had one."

"And you think this one is going to have one just because all the ones you've been to did?"

"YES!"

"Well, this one doesn't seem to have one! Maybe they knew better?"

Samus pushes Fox out the way and examines the settings: she searched hard, but Fox was right; nothing on self-destruction. She groaned, "Great! Just great! Now what can we do?"

As the two were discussing what to do, they didn't notice Ridley sneaking up on them with his sickled tail propped and ready to skewer….

CRASH!

Everyone, including Ridley, quickly turned to the sound of the crash

This made Ridley lose his sense of stealth, "What the f-"

"FALCON PUNCH!"

A man wearing a helmet and a racing outfit flew in a punched Ridley right in his face. The blow was so powerful that it knocked Ridley out instantly.

The crew instinctively prepared themselves to fight this intruder, but after seeing him literally punch a monster in the face, they slowly but surely relaxed as they later saw him pose.

"Ho, yeah!" he exclaimed, "Another mission accomplished, thanks to Captain Falcon!"

The crew was kind of, well, confused by this new character. Samus spoke up, "Uh, who the hell are you?"

The man turned to the woman and answered, "Fear not, my lady. The beast before you lies defeated. For I, Captain Falcon, had got your distress signal and traveled at the speed of sound to save you."

"Distress signal?"

"Yes! I got a call from this very ship that in had been struck down." He points to the unconscious Space Pirate, "I assume this is the beast responsible for attack your ship."

Fox spoke up, "Uh, actually sir, this is his ship. We struck it down!"

Captain Falcon turned to Fox with a bit of surprise, "Really‽ Perhaps I attacked the wrong person?"

"Oh, no!" Samus quickly said, "You hit the right guy! See, that thing you knock out, he's a space pirate. He and some friends of his are trying to take over the universe and we're trying to stop them."

Captain Falcon smiled, "It just warms my heart to see people put an end to villainy." he poses again, flexing his massive muscles.

He's…going to do that a lot…

Anyway, He continues, "Is there anything I can do to help you on your quest to put stop wrongdoing once and for all?"

"Well," Said Fox, pointing to the control pad, "We're trying to blow this place up by activating the self-destruct program. Come to find out that there is none."

In an instant, Captain Falcon reached into a pocket and pulled out a flash-drive. He walks over to the control pad and slides his hand along the sides. Samus and Fox look at each other then back at Falcon. Pikachu, Kirby and the pink creature just stared in confusion.

"A-ha!" Falcon found a small outlet to plug in the flash drive. Once it was inserted, a window popped up and it said in its contents a file can be seen. It read 'Kill Code'.

Falcon activated the file, and this set off a timer; as well as an alarm.

WARNING! WARNING! SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENSE ACTIVATIED! EVACUATE IMMEDIANTLY! SELF DESTRUCTION IN T-5 MINUTES!

"Time to go!"

With that, Captain Falcon grabbed the flash drive and he, Fox, Samus, Kirby, Pikachu and the pink creature got the heck out of dodge.


From one end of the hallway, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, DK, Link and Navi, Ness, and Yoshi were dashing through as the alarms went off. At the same time, on the other end of the hall, Samus, Fox, Pikachu, the pink creature, Kirby and Captain Falcon ran for their lives; Captain Falcon ran at such velocity that he was outrunning Fox! This surprised the vulpine.

The two groups finally met in the center of the hall and surprised to see the new faces.

"Who are you?"

"'Who are we'? Who are you‽"

Samus interrupts, "Run now, ask questions later!"

They all listened to her as they began to run out what they believed to be the way they got in.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The ship started blowing out from the inside. The group ran extra fast to escape. Finally, the group reached the opening, but if very little time to spare; they would have escaped faster without all those twisting and turning hallways. As they all ran out, Peach was the last to go out the opening when-

KER-POOH!

A massive explosion occurred, sending everyone flying, especially Peach, who was soaring of the opening like a cannonball.

ZZZOOOOOoooooooooo-bing!

After that event, the crew got up, dazed of course, but thankfully no one was harmed. They saw the burning wreckage of the once mighty ship the villains rode.

Mario looked up at the sky. His princess was nowhere to be seen. He sighed, "Oh no! Not again!"

"AW, FUCK!"

Everyone turned to Samus as she shouted that obscenity into the air. "My God, Samus!" The voice of Fox rang out, "What's your problem‽"

She points to the sky, "That's my problem!"

In the air away from them, way out in the distance, something that appeared to be an escape pod was soaring from the wreckage and out of sight.

Samus's anger began to rise, "They got away! Which means Ridley got away! Again!" She then balls her hand into a fist, "Every time. Every fucking time I have to deal with this shit! Ridley always gets away! Always! Why can't I catch a motherfucking break‽‽ That's all I'm asking! A fucking break!"

She then feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns to see it belonged to Link who wore a look that read 'chill, dude' on his face. She sighs, "Sorry."

After her little lapse into a nervous breakdown, every settled down near the wreckage and finally got to know each other better: Ness explained his PSI abilities, Captain Falcon explained how he installed the kill-code to destroy the ship and, through an excessive amount of translating, the pink creature turned out to named Jigglypuff, and it used its singing ability to sooth Ganondorf to sleep. Once everyone was introduced, Mario, Link (while not exactly Link since Navi was speaking for him) and Samus told them about how the three villains had band together to take over the Universe.

But what started out as explaining the situation at hand, their conversation quickly changed into one of sharing each other's past adventures and missions of saving their own worlds from certain doom or adventures for the sake of fun and…well, adventure!

All this talk of adventure and battle between good and evil got the gears in Mario's head turning. "Mario." Luigi's voice was heard, "I know that look on you face. What are you thinking about?"

"LET'S START A TEAM!"

Everyone looked at Mario. A little confused at his shout but Captain Falcon quickly caught on and praised the idea, "YES! I can see it now!" he poses a few more times as he describes his vision of their group: "The twelve of us. Teaming up to create the greatest group of good-doers ever assembled! And together, we will ward off evil once and for all time! I call our team the 'Super Smash Brothers'!"

Everyone stared at Falcon, mostly because he was posing like some crazy bodybuilder flexing his muscles.

"Super Smash Brothers?" Ridiculed Ness. "Did you just make that name up on the spot?"

Captain Falcon replied, "Uh, well, what if I did?"

"And why would it be called Super Smash Brothers?" came a skeptical voice from Samus.

"Well…" Captain Falcon was thinking of something to say then Fox said something.

"Oh, don't tell me you're one of those female heroes, are you‽‽"

Samus retaliated, "Well, that title seems a bit unfair! I mean, I'm the only girl here out of-I don't know, eleven dudes? C'mon!" she then thought of something, "Wait. Are those two guys?" she points to Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

"Don't know." Said Fox, "Someone will have to check."

"Not it!"

Everyone other than Luigi was able to say that in time. With his head low in defeat, he walks over to the two strange creatures and…er, 'examined' them. And to say the least, Pikachu and Jigglypuff didn't like it. Pikachu even bite the plumber's hand once or twice. Afterward, Luigi came to his conclusion, "Oh, yeah. They're boys."

"And what about me‽" Navi's voice sprang up, "Are I a girl too‽‽"

Samus replied, "You don't count."

This made Navi groan in frustration.

Captain Falcon interjected, "Besides, Super Smash Brothers just rolls of the tongue better than 'Super Smash Brothers and Sister'. You gotta think practical when it comes to the merchandise."

"What?" Fox ridiculed.

"Yes!" Falco said, flexing again, "We'll be so good at our job, we'll be famous before we know. We'll get a toy deal, a movie deal, a comic book series, a breakfast cereal…"

"Cereal?" Samus scoffed.

"Oh! And even a video game starring us!"

"A video game?" Fox questioned, "Now that's just ridiculous!"

"Well, can't blame a guy for dreaming."

"Okay!" Mario said, gaining everyone's attention, "If we do come together, we may all stand a chance to defeat this evil band of villains and save the Universe. So, who's with me?" He puts his hand in front of him.

"I am!" Immediately stated Captain Falcon as he put his hand on top of Mario's.

"I am." Softly said Luigi who gently put his hand on top of Falcon's.

"DK help friends!" the great ape ooked and put his massive hand on top.

Link gently placed his hand in the center too, Navi stating, "Link and I never back down from a fight."

Samus mirrors Link's actions. "Anything to make sure that winged bastard gets what he deserves." She said.

"Yoshi! Yoshi!"

"Poyo! Poyo!"

"Pika! Pika!"

"Jiggly! Jiggly!"

The group of cute critters walked up and place their own hands in the center.

Ness walked up, "I already have a team, but being on another wouldn't hurt." He then puts his hand in the center.

"I'm on a team too." Said Fox, "But unlike them, you guys seem competent enough to not need my help every two minutes. So, what the hell! I'm in!" he puts his hand on top, that makes everyone's hand in.

"Very well then." Mario declared, "So, I hereby dub us, the 'Super Smash Brothers'!"

"YES!"

They all flung their hands in the air, making their team official. And from that moment onward, the real adventure begins!


What'z uuuuup? I hope you liked that Chapter. It took me so long to write it. I hope you all understand. I'm in the middle of writing a request that someone asked me to do as well as thinking for another chapter for The Tales of Aaron the Riolu (which is not dead for anyone who is wondering. I just haven't thought of anything for it yet.) And forgive me if the ending felt a little rushed. Just trying to wrap it up for y'all.

As a matter of fact, I have something to say. Now, listen, because this is important to me: I'm in a bit of a stump. I'm stuck between continuing the plot on this story or as a new story. I'll create a voting poll on my bio page so you all may vote. Since it's almost the end of January now, I'll leave the poll open until the first day of March. Until the votes are in, I'm taking a break from the story. Now, don't worry. It's only until March, 1st.

Also, I'd like to know your thoughts on the story so far. Do you like the path it's going down? Do you want it to be darker and edgier as to story goes. Or would you all rather have it be silly and lighthearted? Let me know in the review section. Also, if you have a special request, don't be afraid to send me a PM. Because, I can't do all this by myself. If you want me to make more content, then I need your help.

And so with that, I bid you all a wonderful day, I hope you liked this chapter, and I get back to this in March! Later, Gators!
