Chapter 9: Jungle Hi-Jinks

Smash Manor- Living room

(Master's Pov)

It was currently 7:00 in the morning. Barely anyone was awake at that time so I had the living room to myself. Of course my brother was awake with me as I always woke him up.

"So? Should we start breakfast now?" I asked Crazy. Crazy, who was still groggy, just shrugged.

"I don't really care... I want sleep.." He muttered.

"Well too bad. You shouldn't even need sleep!"

"It still feels good.."

I groaned as I got up in order to move to the Kitchen and started thinking about what to make this time. I thought about making Smash-cakes again but I decided against it. I was racking my head for thoughts before Crazy slowly came in and asked if we could make omelets.

"Good idea! By the time you go and wake everyone up, Ill have them ready." I told him, making Crazy whine.

"Why do I gotta go!?"

"Would you rather cook?" I countered, making Crazy's eyes widen before he scurried off to wake up everyone. I chuckled as I started to get the ingredients for the many omelets I was about to make.


Smash Manor- Smasher's Hallway

(Crazy's Pov)

Gah... Why did I have to go wake up everyone? I was tired, cranky and just generally beat from yesterday... and my area was still sore... Although, It was weird how I was tired when I am an immortal being... I think we've been humans for too long... So with that thought, I changed into my normal form and immediately felt the grogginess leave my body.

"Ahh, So much better!" I shouted, effectively gaining two groans from the two rooms on my side.

"Crazy, must you be so loud in the morning?" I heard Zelda say spitefully.

"Yeah, girls need their beauty sleep." Peach said with equal annoyance.

"If I cant get sleep, neither will you." I simply said as I started floating down the hall, singing loudly.

"ITS 7:00 IN THE MORNING, THE CONVERSATION GOT BORING!" I sung as people left and right opened their doors in aggravation. I finally reached the rooms that held the 4 teenagers. I started by knocking on their doors. I heard a groan emerge from Austins door, but the rest were quiet. I knocked on Austin's door again and received a groggy response saying he was up followed by some Italian. I dont dare repeat what he said as it was very rude and should have been banned from the world. 1 down, 3 to go. I then started banging on the remaining 3 doors. Kimani, and Jordan both yelled "Shut up!" before they got quiet again. I just got a startled snort from Dylan. Sighing, I made a megaphone appear near me.

"ATTENTION! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THERE IS A FIRE! ALL PERSONAL IS AD-VICED TO E-VAC-U-ATE THE BUILDING! man those were some big words.." I shouted through the megaphone, mumbling that last part and putting the dictionary that I had to use away.

"WHAT!?" I heard a shout, followed by someone literally kicking the door open and running out the room, wearing nothing but pajama pants. It was Kimani and he was looking around haphazardly, trying to find the exit.

"Calm down, I'm joking. There is no fire." I said, Kimani looking at me in sheer hatred. But then his angry look turned into a perplexed look.

"Is that you, Crazy?" He asked as he continued to stare at me. I nodded, somehow. Kimani ahh-ed before he punched me in the grove of my hand, making my floating ability deactivate, and me hit the ground.

"DONT (Censored) AROUND WITH FIRE! OR ME IN FACT!" Kimani shouted. While I got hurt, Kimani actually got everyone that was here to open their doors and walk out.

"Kimani! Why are you shouting at... 7:30!?" Link shouted as he and Toon emerged out of their rooms, wearing identical green pajamas.

"Because I'm mad at the world. Why are you and Toon wearing the same pajamas?" He countered, making the Swordsmen blush slightly.

"We are generally the same person. What do you want from us!?" Link countered.

"Gah, I cant believe we fell for Crazy's plan to wake us up.." Bowser said as he appeared out of the room with his shell off, reveling his green and red striped boxers. Also without his shell on, you could actually see that Bowser was in fact ripped as he had giant muscles where his shell would usually cover. (Try to imagine a giant muscular man with a dragon face and a tail and you'll have a general idea of what he looks like.)

"Wow, your ripped." Peach said, astonished. Bowser took this as a opportunity to flex and make poses.

"Yeah. You like?" He said while making his bushy eyebrow move. Peach instantly started laughing, making Bowser pout. Mario and Luigi stifled their laughter as well.

"Uhh... yeah... Can you go and put your shell back on? Your Turtle parts are showing.." Kimani said as he covered his eyes. Bowser quickly looked down before he yelped and dashed back into the room. My guess was that Peach was actually laughing at that... Ewww... Seconds later he came back out with his shell on.

"WE WILL NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN!" Bowser shouted as everyone rapidly nodded. After everyone got descent, I ushered them towards the Dining Room as I turned back into my human form. As weird as it sounded, I think I like being a human more than a hand..


Smash Manor- Dinning room

(Kimani's Pov)

Everyone had gotten themselves a seat at the table and were eating the omelets Master had fixed us. I never had an omelet before so I was currently poking and prodding it at this point. Zelda, who was sitting next to me, lightly slapped my hand.

"Quit playing with your food and eat it. Its not going to kill you." She said in a soft voice.

"I never had an omelet before.." I answered as I continued to prod it. Zelda sighed as she took the fork I was probing it with, "Hey!"

"Its not bad. Eat it, trust me." She urged on. Giving her an annoyed look, I took my fork back from her and got a piece. I noticed that Zelda was still looking at me, making me slightly un-comfortable. But I sucked it up and put the omelet in my mouth. Hmm, not bad. As I started to dig into my omelet, Master proceeded to tell us about the plan for today.

"Morning everyone!" He shouted, receiving grunted hellos in response, "Today is the day where we go and get another power house."

"Another power house?" I said as I snagged another bite from my food, " Is it Gannondorf?"

Bowser snorted, "Think idiot, If you just saved Link, Toon and Zelda, dont you think we would have seen Ganon?"

"Who the (Censored) asked you, Tiny?" Master Hand intervened before we started fighting again.

"Um, no, its not Ganondorf, but I can see why you said him. Its actually DK and Diddy Kong we are after today."

Yoshi, as well as Toon, instantly shot up and begged if they can go on this mission, startling their neighbors. Me and the gang sweatdropped as we nodded, signaling that they could. They cheered again as they started to plan what they would bring with them.

"So, Since we have that out the way, You will need to head over to Jungle Japes as I sensed them there."

"Isnt that a stage here?" Austin questioned.

"Yeah, but its an actual area around the Ferocious Forest. DK and Diddy actually live there."

"In the Forest?"

"No, the Jungle."

"Oh.."

"Well, ill teleport you to their house and you can start from there."

We got up and got together, "Sounds like a plan. Fire away." I said as everyone surrounded me.

"Oh yeah, one more thing." Master said as he threw my Wii-Mote at me. Startled, I caught it barely.

"Why did you have this? When did you get this?" I wondered.

"I was adding that rifle you found to your Wii-Mote.

"Oh, whats the style called?"

"Lets call it... The Rifle-Man." Fire chimed in.

"Ah... I might change it but sure lets go with that." I said. Firebrand scoffed in response.

"Wow, Jordan's right, you are never satisfied.."

"Thank you!" Jordan said in exasperation.

"Both of you better shut up before I punch you in the face," I pointed at Jordan when I said that, " And Ill throw water on you, Fire."

"Hurtful.." "Well damn..."


Sub-Space Base- ?

"YOU WHAT?!"

Slice, Dice and Headshot flinched as their leader barked at them.

"Sir, we didn't mean to but they were tougher than we thought." Slice started, waving his hands in defense.

"Yeah! And it was two vs one! They cheated also!" Dice yelled in frustration.

"Not to mention that the short one took my gun." Headshot muttered in spite.

"SILENCE!"

The three Primids who were explaining quickly shut up as their leader started pacing in front of them.

"So let me get this straight, not only did you lose to them when they haven't even mastered their powers yet, but you also ALLOWED THEM TO RETRIEVE THE HYRULIANS!?"

"...yes?" "In a Sub-Shell..." "Maybe?" The three Primids said simultaneously. The leader blinked before he threw his hand and backhanded all three of them with one swipe.

"IDIOTS! YOU REALIZE THAT THEY ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE AGAINST US RIGHT!?"

"Yeah, but they seemed to be getting the hang of their powers." Slice told him, rubbing his cheek where he was struck. The leader sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose... or where it should be.

"...fine... I'll allow this one to go, but the next time I WANT TO SEE RESULTS!" The leader barked, making Slice and Headshot quickly salute. Dice looked confused but when Headshot nudged him, he quickly made a noise before saluting. While they saluted, another Primid walked in. It was Prime.

"Sir, my apologies, but we have word that they have Yoshi and Bowser with them as well." The leader quickly turned to Prime, who had a blank face on.

"Oh? And who was in charge of that mission, pray tell?" He inquired, making Prime sweatdrop.

"Ahh, um... Johnson?" He said, racking his brain for an answer. The leader narrowed his eyes at him, making Prime sweat some more. To his surprise, the leader just nodded.

"Johnson ehh? I knew he wasn't capable of that mission... Ill get him later." Prime almost sighed out loud, but he held it in, "Thats it all. Everyone is dismissed."

"Sir yes Sir!" The four Primids said before they scurried towards the door. But the leader stopped Prime.

"Prime? Who is watching over the Kongs again?" He asked. Prime quickly used his watch to display a holographic display. After sliding through some reports (He quickly slid past the one he was assigned to earlier), he showed the leader the file marked Kong.

"That would be Petey Piranha, Sir." He said as the leader focused on the giant plant being.

"Hmm, yes, that will do. But just in case, send Raquaza there as well. He can stop them from even getting to there. Make sure hes placed at the River in Jungle Japes."

"Sounds like a plan. I will get right on that." Prime said as he tried to walk out only to get stopped again.

"And one more thing," Prime turned to look at him, "Send Johnson in. I would like to have a word with him."

"Ahh... Sure.." Prime said, sweatdropping. The leader finally let him walk out the door. Breathing a sigh of relief, he muttered, "Sorry Johnson, but thats what you get for not paying me back those 10 dollars.." before he went to go do the commands he was issued.


Jungle Japes- Dk's Treehouse

(Yoshi's Pov)

When we flashed into the room, we ended up in a pile with me being in the middle of the pile. Everyone started to complain and shout a bunch of stuff.

"OW, MOVE YOUR FOOT!" (Jordan)

"AUSTIN, GET YOUR ELBOW OUT OF MY COLON!" (Kimani)

"THATS ONLY IF DYLAN MOVE HIS BIG ASS HEAD!" (Austin)

"I CAN'T! YOSHI'S BODY IS IN THE WAY! AND ITS NOT THAT BIG, BUTT MUNCH!" (Dylan)

"I KNOW ONE THING, SOMEONE BETTER MOVE BEFORE THEY GET A SWORD TO THE FACE!" (Toon)

Sighing, I squirmed out of the way, taking Kimani, Jordan and Austin with me. They ended up in a mini-dogpile on Kimani, upsetting him. I was far enough from them that I was able to get up and help Dylan off of Toon Link.

"Well that was more than annoying." Toon said as he brushed the dirt of his tunic.

"Ya think?" Kimani said sarcastically, resting his head on his arms while tapping the ground impatiently with half his body peeking out from under Jordan and Austin. Kimani then rolled the two off of him before he stood up. We looked around and saw that we was indeed inside DK's Treehouse.

"Where should we look for them?" Toon asked as he started using his Wind Waker for no reason. He made a gust of wind flow into the treehouse, blowing Kimani's red hood on his head.

"Hey its Little Black Riding Hood!" Austin joked, making us bust into laughter. Angered, Kimani snagged Austin by the shirt collar and roughly dragged him to the door and proceeded to throw him out the tree after looking down at something. All of us looked at Kimani with shocked expressions as we heard Austin scream bloody murder. He simply told us to look. We quickly went to the door and looked down. Expecting a bloody corpse on the ground, we were surprised to see that Austin had landed face-first in a pile of palm tree leaves, shaken but otherwise un-harmed.

"KIMANI! THE HELL YOU THINKING!?" Austin angrily shouted at him.

"I WAS THINKING ABOUT THROWING YOU OUT THE TREE OBVIOUSLY!" He retorted, preparing himself to jump down. He leaped and plummeted into the leaf pile, grunting as he bounced off of it. Dylan went next, saying he was doing the Swan Dive of Eternal Beauty. We all looked away as he made a swan (to us it sounded like a goose) noise then face-planted in the leaves, getting his top half stuck in there. After Kimani and Austin yanked him out, Toon dove off but he quickly pulled out a leaf the size of him and glided down. I jumped off and kicked my legs when I got close to the ground, using my Flutter Jump ability to hover over the ground for a second before dropping. Jordan, however, looked un-nerved.

"C'MON JORDAN! JUMP!" Kimani yelled up to him.

"YOU KNOW ME AND GRAVITY DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE!"

"YES YOU DO! IT JUST PICKS ON YOU A BIT MORE THAN US! YOLO IT!"

"I WILL NOT YOLO IT! THATS RETARDED! AND WE CANT YOLO IN THIS UNIVERSE SINCE WE HAVE REVIVES!" Kimani just frowned then walked over to the tree and Power Kicked it, making the tree shake and making Jordan lose his balance. Jordan yelled as he plummeted down until he smashed into the leaves with a loud crunch and thud noise. He actually went through them and made a hole in the ground. We all peeked into it to see Jordan laying on his back with swirls in his eyes.

"I...hate...you.." He said, dazed.

"You are one very persuasive person Kimani." Firebrand said sarcastically. Kimani just rolled his eyes and proceeded to help Jordan out the hole. After a few moments, everyone was ready to go deeper into the forest.


Jungle Japes- Deep within the forest

(DK's Pov)

"D... ake..."

I tried to focus on the object in front of me but my vision was swimming.

"DK... Wak...p..."

Straining to focus on it, I was surprised to get slapped in the face. Startled, I sat up, throwing off the person that was standing on my chest.

"Ugh... What happened?" I asked myself.

"DK!" A voice shouted, making me look around in surprise. I grunted as something collided with my mid-section. I look down to see my little bro, Diddy, clinging on to me, "Your alright!"

"Well of course I am. Where are we anyway?" I said as I pried Diddy off me. He just shrugged.

"We are still in Jungle Japes, but I've never seen this area before." I sighed as I grabbed the bars to our cage and started rattling them.

"HEY!," I shouted, attempting to see who our "warden" was, "WHATS THE BIG IDEA LOCKING US UP!?"

Instead of getting someone to talk or yell at me, I was instead, greeted by a loud "RAWR!" Diddy and I sweatdropped before we heard thuds comming over to the cage. When the light dimmed, Me and Diddy looked behind us to see a giant plant thing wearing a poka-dot red diaper.

"...Hi?" Diddy meekly greeted, only to yell and duck behind me when it roared again. I reached out and slapped him on the top of his giant lip, shutting him up. He blankly looked at me before he opened the cage, yanked me out then proceeded to use a vine to hang me up by my feet. As I dangled there, upside-down, He then started slapping me with his leafy hands.

"OW! OW! OW! QUIT IT! YEOW!" I said as he continued slapping me. Diddy just sat there, trying to pry open the cage.

"Hey! Stop that!" Diddy shouted, but to no effect as the giant plant thing kept slapping me obnoxiously hard in the back and my chest. After the 25-th strike, he finally gave me a break and threw me back into the cage. I looked at my torso and saw that I had a red leaf print on my chest. Diddy inspected my back and saw that the fur was matted down in the same shape as the one on my chest.

"You ok?" Diddy asked me as he worked on getting my fur back to normal.

Gingerly poking at the brand I was given, I replied, "No. That stung like hell..."

"We need to get out of here..."

"What was your first clue? The giant plant or the cage thats keeping us here?" I blandly stated. Diddy just plucked me in the chest. Normally that wouldn't even make me flinch but due to the stinging sensation of the leaf slaps, I instantly shouted in pain.

"Well until someone comes and get us, just stay out of trouble will ya?" Diddy said, sweatdropping. I sighed and flopped on my chest, ignoring the burning pain I instantly felt. Diddy climbed and curled up into a ball on top of my back.

"Might as well sleep and save our strength.." Diddy said as he doze off on my back.

"Yeah.." I answered as I slowly fell asleep.


Jungle Japes- Outer Forest

The group of six went throughout the forest, taking out the Kritters and Kremlins that dared to cross their path.

"What are these things?" Kimani asked as he jumped on a Kritter, defeating it.

"The tall ones are Kremlins and the short ones are Kritters." Toon Link said as he slashed a Kremlin in the leg, tripping him before he did a Fatal Blow on his chest. Kimani remarked on how much of an overkill that was, only to receive a eye roll from Toon.

"Well at least they arn't hard to beat." Jordan said as he simply kicked a Kremlin off a hill. Dylan and Austin both nodded as they sniped a Kremlin in the face, making it dramatically yell, spin around and flop on his back. Seconds later, a ghost came from his body and started to ascend to the Overthere.

"That was a little much..." Firebrand stated, sweatdropping... (no one could see it however)

"I don't know, Fire, I'd say it wasn't enough.." Venom said sinisterly, making everyone take a step away from Austin. Even the Kritter that was about to bite him in the ankle stopped mid-bite and looked at him as if he was thinking if it was worth it.

"Venom, cut that out!" Austin yelled at his right dagger, making the Kritter question himself even more. It apparently just "YOLO'ed" it and bit Austin harshly on his ankle. Austin yelled, making the Kritter let go and run off, snickering... until Austin quickly turned around and shouted "Triple Strike!" and shot three arrows into it, killing it.

"Yes, let the rage consu-" Venom started, only to get interrupted by a slapping noise. Seconds later, he shouted "OW! WHAT THE HELL WOMAN!?"

"WILL YOU STOP BEING A WEIRDO!?" Ivory shouted in frustration.

"YEAH, SHUT UP ALREADY!" Ebony chimed in. Venom muttered something incoherent. After their argument was over, they continued on throughout the forest, looking for any signs for DK and/or Diddy. Firebrand had spotted some footprints leading up a hill and around a corner.

"Maybe there were taken up there." He inquired.

"Scanners indicate that there is a 69% chance of targets being in area." Alpha said after scanning the area. The four teenagers, plus Firebrand, Ebony, Ivory and surprisingly Typhoon started snickering. Yoshi looked at us in confusion as did Toon Link.

"Whats so funny?" Toon asked. Kimani told him that he would tell him when hes older, making Toon Link fume in frustration. Ignoring the frustrated toon, the group began to climb the hill and peeked around the tree to find nothing but another path. They all sighed as they continued to walk down the path. At the end of it was a river.

"Oh great. Water..." Kimani dejectedly said as he slumped. Jordan found this as a key opportunity to get revenge. So without a word, Jordan picked up Kimani, who shouted "HEY!" out loud then proceeded to throw him towards the water. The look on Kimani's face was a mixture of pure fear and fury. He splashed into the water and, defying logic, instantly jumped up high into the air, screaming his head off. When he came back down, he landed square on his head and flopped on his back. Jordan as well as the others started laughing out loud.

"You son of a.." Kimani started, poking gingerly at the knot on his head. Jordan tried to answer him but he was laughing too hard. So Kimani roughly drop kicked Jordan into the water, making a huge splash that soaked everyone. Dylan even got hurt slightly when a jolt of electricity came from his remote and shocked him.

"Oh come on. It was a joke." Jordan said as he swam back.

"I can't swim remember?" Kimani said, still seething in anger.

"I would have came and got you. Geez, so serious.." Jordan said in an evaporated tone. Kimani roundhouse kicked him in the stomach, making him tumble back into the water, before he started looking around for something to get past the river. He then saw a raft sitting halfway in the river.

"Theres a raft that we can use over there." He said as he pointed towards it. Everyone ran towards it, except for Jordan (He swam there) and pushed it into the water. But it still didn't move.

"Why isn't it moving?" Jordan asked after he climbed on and shook the water off of him, getting Kimani wet on purpose.

"Maybe there's too much weight on it." Kimani said bitterly as he, yet again, shoved Jordan into the water.

"How many times are you going to do that!?" Jordan shouted as he climbed back on.

"Until I feel better." He replied...then shoved him once again, but this time Jordan caught his arm and took him with him. Kimani clinged on to Jordan's back as he treaded water.

"Truce?" Jordan said as he spat out the water that got in his mouth.

"...For now." Kimani said as he eyed the water carefully. "Now take me back to the raft, Moby, before I spear you in the back with a harpoon."

"Sure." Jordan said with fake kindness as he harshly threw Kimani back on the raft, making him do a scorpion. Muttering curses and death threats, he looked at the sail on the boat.

"Toon, think you can make a gust of wind?" He asked, making Toon scoff.

"Please, can a fish swim?... oh wait, bad analogy.." Toon started only to cover his mouth when Kimani shot him a dirty glare.

"Just move the raft..."

"Yeah...Sorry..." Toon then pulled out his baton and started to conduct the wind. After he made a motion down the river, a steady gust of wind started to blow in the sail and they started moving.

"So," Austin said as he looked at Jordan and Kimani, who were glaring at each other, "What should we do for the time being?"

"Throw Kimani overboard..." "Spear Jordan with a harpoon..." The two replied hatefully, making Austin sigh in exasperation.

"Anyone know any Sea Shanties?" Dylan asked while scratching his head. Toon perked up as well as Yoshi.

"I know some! I'm a sailor!" Toon said while raising his hand.

"And Toon taught me a few of them." Yoshi added.

"Yo ho ho and a bottle of-"

"NO!" Everyone shouted at the two, making them put their hands up in defense. After that, they had unanimously decided to just sail in silence. After 15 minutes of going down the river, Dylan, who was laying down and looking down at the water, noticed that the water was bubbling.

"Um... Is there anything in the water?" He asked as he got up and backed away slightly.

"No. And im certain that theres nothing there since I checked... Four times.." Jordan said as he eyed Kimani as he said that last part.

"Keep it up and it will be 5." Kimani shot back before he turned back around and looked forward as he was the look out. Austin rolled his eyes as he walked over and looked to where Dylan had claimed of seeing bubbles. Although, he didn't see any at that moment.

"Well, whatever it was, its gone now." Austin told him. Dylan gave the spot one last look before he shrugged and looked forward. The raft continued to float down the river for another 30 minutes before the raft finally reached land.

"Geez... Thats 45 minute of my life I'll never get back..." Kimani commented as they walked off the raft.

"Amen to that, Bro.." Austin agreed, "At least you and Jordan are buddies again."

"We never weren't. Thats just how we get past our disagreements. C'mon Austin, how long have you known us?" Jordan asked him.

"Apparently not long enough.."

"I have no lines..." Dylan randomly said, making everyone look at him in confusion. Before anyone could comment on it, the water started bubbling near the raft.

"Dylan, you said something about bubbles?" Austin asked as everyone looked at the bubbles, which were getting bigger.

"Yeah, but they weren't that bi-" Thats all Dylan got out before the water below the raft exploded out in a geyser-like fashion. When the water cleared, a green serpent with red, slightly glowing, lines on it was flying around. After one last fly-by, it rested on the water and roared at the group.

"WHAT IS THAT!?" The four teens shouted in surprise as the serpent swung his tail at them and made a giant wave splash them. The wave hurt them and they also took extra damage when Dylan's Wii-mote shocked everyone. Out of everyone, Kimani took the most damage since Water was his opposite element, while Jordan didn't take any damage at all.

"Ugh, this element..." Dylan muttered as a few sparks jolted off of him.

"Your element?" Kimani retorted as he showed Dylan his almost dark Hp square.

"Whats Raquazza doing here!?" Toon shouted as he picked himself up.

"Raquazza? Like the Pokemon?" Austin asked in confusion. Raquazza roared again as he flew towards the group of 6. Yelling, they scattered as he narrowly snagged Kimani and Austin as they were closer.

"Yeah, exactly. Something must have disturbed him." Yoshi said as he threw an egg at Raquazza, only to get it smacked back towards him. Yoshi got hit in his nose by the egg, making him yelp. Raquazza then stared at them and made his eyes flash. Toon instantly knew what would happened and told everyone to move. Austin and Jordan instantly moved as well as Yoshi, but Dylan hesitated slightly and Kimani tripped and got caught in an explosion. Kimani didn't take as much damage as Dylan did due to his element alignment, but it did leave them with a bit of soot on them.

"Alright, I'm getting tired of this... Fire, how do I activate the Rifle-Man style?" Kimani asked as he activated his Wii-mote.

"Throw the Wii-Mote in the air and shout Morph." Firebrand answered. Kimani nodded before he took his Wii-Mote and threw it in the air. He then shouted "Morph!" and watched as the Wii-Mote quickly morphed into the red plated gun Super Scope and fell into his arms.

"Cool.. Moves?" Kimani said as he started firing at Raquazza, who started dodging.

"Power Shot or Charged Shot and the Skull Bolt." Kimani nodded before he crouched in order to aim better and started charging up a Charged Shot. To add more power to it, he allowed some of his Fire element to go into the gun, making the red energy blast turn slightly orange. He waited until Raquazza started charging at the group again.

"FIRE BLAST!" Kimani shouted as he let go of the trigger and sent the red-orange blast spiralling towards the serpent. It hit him just as he was about to ram Jordan, who was holding his hammer in front of him for protection. Raquazza roared in pain as the explosion sent him flying back into the water. It also made Jordan and Dylan, who was close, stumble back from the force of the blast.

"Watch it!" Jordan shouted with an anime vein on his head while Dylan had a sweatdrop on his. Kimani's face turned red as he shouted back, "I just saved you, Moron!"

"Can you save the violence for THE GIANT POKEMON TRYING TO KILL US!?" Toon shouted as Raquazza rose from the depths of the lake and sent another wave at them. Everyone made a shield and blocked it. Dylan still took a slight bit of damage from his Wii-Mote but was otherwise fine. Kimani had 2 Hp squares left, Dylan had 3 on his while Jordan and Austin were at full health.

"Fine. Typhoon, how can I hit him when I dont have any ranged attacks?" Jordan questioned.

"Good question... I actually dont have an idea.."

"Shocker.." Both Firebrand and Venom muttered sarcastically.

"Shut up you two.." Typhoon scolded "I would say just wait until he gets close then smack him." Jordan nodded then waited until Raquazza went for another nose dive. He then smashed Raquazza into the ground with a violent overhead strike. He roared in pain as he dug underground, narrowly avoiding another strike from Jordan.

"Hey, that does work!" Jordan proudly said.

"Nice one Big Guy," Kimani complemented, "But I think you ticked him off..." As soon as he said that, the ground below Jordan started to rumble and Raquazza burst out the ground, knocking Jordan into the air. He then tail whipped him and sent him crashing into a nearby tree.

"Ow..." Jordan muttered as stars circled his head. Yoshi went to go see if he was OK as the rest kept Raquazza busy.

"Your mother was a snake!" Dylan shouted, making Raquazza roar at him.

"And your dad was a salamander!" Kimani added. Raquazza looked at the both of them before he quickly charged a Hyper Beam attack and shot it at the both of them.

"OH SHIT!" "AH HELL!" The two shouted as they dove out the way, but was still launched due to the force of the blast. The two ended up landing into a prickly bush, saving them from breaking any bones but not from taking extra damage.

"OW, OW, OW!" Kimani yelped as he struggled to climb out from the bush. He and Dylan both flopped out of the bush and started to pull the pins that stuck to them off.

"We aren't doing so well are we?" Austin asked Toon who was shooting arrows at Raquazza. Yoshi ran over when Jordan told him to go while he waited for the area to stop spinning.

"Not entirely, but this is your first giant boss battle so you aren't really prepared for it." Toon responded before he quickly used his baton to make a strong gust of wind blow Raquazza off course and making him smash into a tree. Yoshi quickly snagged a fairly large rock with his tongue and ate it, allowing him to make an extra large egg. He then hurled it at Raquazza, nailing him in the head and making a visible knot appear on his head. Raquazza shook his head, ridding himself of the knot, before growled before he picked up the tree with his tail and threw it at the three. Toon yelped as he franticly reached into his pockets and acquired a blue gem.

"NARU'S LOVE!" He shouted while holding it up above his head. A blue diamond crystal shield surrounded them. The tree smashed into the shield, making the group slide back and made Toon wince as he had to concentrate on keeping the shield up. When they stopped sliding, Toon dropped his arms in exhaustion.

"You ok, Toon?" Austin asked as he shook Toon a bit, snapping him back to reality.

"Yeah, that seemed to have taken a lot of energy." Yoshi also wondered.

"Yeah, just a bit winded from using that. I really gotta practice my magic..." He responded. Jordan jogged over at that time; same with Kimani and Dylan.

"OK, I'm tired of this overgrown snake hitting me!" Kimani yelled as steam came from his head. Everyone agreed before the roaring from Raquazza made everyone look at him.

"Alright, we know all of his tricks now. So lets get him!" Toon said as he pointed his sword at Raquazza. The rest cheered before people like Jordan, Kimani (after switching styles) and Toon charged towards him while the others used their ranged attacks against them.

"Jordan, maybe I can make your Cyclone stronger." Kimani said as they dodged another Hyper Beam attack.

"How?" He responded as a question mark appeared over his head.

"Just follow my lead." He responded as he dashed at Raquazza with Jordan struggling to keep up. Toon got there first and slashed Raquazza in the midsection, gaining his attention. He tried to bite Toon Link with a Hyper Fang attack but Toon blocked it with his shield. While Toon distracted the serpent, Kimani and Jordan were behind it.

"Activate your Berserk power." Kimani instructed.

"Alright, Berserk!" Jordan said as he started growling as a blue aura started to appear around him. He then shouted out loud as his aura exploded and his eyes were glowing. Kimani shuttered when Jordan looked at him.

"Now what?" Jordan said, his voice sounding slightly demonic due to his power being active. Kimani shuttered again before he told him to use his Cyclone ability then he would kick Jordan's hammer while he was spinning to increase the speed of his spin.

"OK, ready?" Kimani said as he got ready. Jordan nodded then shouted "Cyclone!" as he started spinning. Kimani then shouted "Power Strike!" and landed a powerful kick on Jordan's War hammer as he spun, making him go significantly faster. He even made a mini-tornado as he spun towards Raquazza, who was about to bite Toon after he yanked his shield away. Jordan spun into Raquazza and made him roar in pain as Jordan smashed his side many times. After the 15th time of getting hit, he was launched into the clusters of tree that Jordan had smashed into moments ago. Jordan finally stopped spinning but his Berserk power ran out and he also got the Dizzy aliment.

"Urg, I feel- *Ulp* sick..." Jordan gagged as two stars were floating above his head, signaling that he was dizzy. Kimani just slapped him in the face, effectively ridding him off his status.

"There." Kimani simply said, making Jordan steam at him. A roar made the two look over at the trees and saw Raquazza gunning towards them. He snagged both of them by their shirts and swung them around before throwing them at the people who were shooting him this whole time. Jordan barely missed Yoshi, who yelped as he dove out the way, but Kimani ended up tripping the other two when he hit the ground rolling.

"Well that was rude..." Austin muttered as he picked himself up and dusted himself off. Dylan (who had Austin's style on him) nodded before he scanned Raquazza as he forgot to.

"This is Raquazza, a very powerful Pokemon. Raquazza can use Hyper Fang, Hyper Beam, Surf, make a delayed explosion with his eyes and also create a lightning storm by spinning its body in the air. It can also burrow its way underground and attack using Dig and can even grab you with its talons or ram you at high speeds. Just keep calm and pay attention to what moves it uses so you can counter correctly and you should be alright." Alpha explained.

"Why didn't you do that in the beginning?" Yoshi asked. Dylan shrugged before he copied Kimani and took his jacket and style. He then switched to his Rifle-Man style and started to fire at Raquazza. He got hit by a couple of them, making him fly above them and started circling above. Storm clouds started to form in between his body and they started firing lighting bolts at everyone.

"He can make LIGHTNING!?" Kimani yelled as he was barely smited by a rouge bolt. The ones that got struck the most were Toon, since he had metal armor under his tunic plus his sword, and Dylan as he was taller than all of them and his element was lightning. Although Dylan took significantly less damage than everyone else did. Raquazza finally stopped spinning and looked at the singed heroes. This time, Jordan took the most damage as he got hit by a couple and they did double the damage.

"*koff* Ow...Stupid armor..." Toon said as soot covered his whole body. He shook it off before he took out a red gem, shouted "Din's Fire!" while he slammed his hand on the ground and made an giant dome of fire spread out until it hit Raquazza, burning him. The fire didn't effect anyone else as they were close enough to Toon when he did it. Raquazza retaliated with a Hyper Beam, making them scatter again. It still made Austin fly face first into a tree as he was too close to the blast when it hit the ground. Dylan attacked Raquazza by Power Kicking him once Raquazza got close and tried to claw them. He looked winded from the hits he suffered from but the others weren't so good either. Everyone had scuff marks on them and people like Dylan and Toon had singe marks from the lightning. Kimani still had thorns poking out from the back of his hoody from when they landed in the bushes, Austin had a bump on his forehead (an anime one) and everyone was also damp from getting hit by Raquazza Surf attack many times.

"Geez, we're pretty banged up..." Kimani said, slightly drooping. Everyones Hp, with the exception of Yoshi and Toon as they didnt have any Hp bars, were at half capacity at the moment. Kimani's, however, was blinking red at the moment as he had 1 Hp square left.

"If only we had a Smash Ball..." Yoshi muttered in spite as he imagined himself in his Dragon Form.

"Well we dont, so we have to make the best of what we got.." Jordan told him.

"He almost done though," Dylan said, motioning towards Raquazza, " I mean, look at him. Hes panting too!"

"RAWR!" Raquazza roared in response, making Dylan sweatdrop.

"He seems to be disagreeing with your statement, Master Dylan." Alpha inferred.

"...Uh, yeah... I got that message loud and... loud." He deadpanned, picking his ear to stop the ringing. Raquazza seemed to have had enough because he soared into the air and tried to dive bomb everyone. He narrowly missed Austin, who used Stealth to dodge, before he dug into the ground. Everyone stopped and looked at the ground very closely. The ground rumbled near Kimani's feet.

"Kimani! Hes going for you! MOVE!" Firebrand yelled, making Kimani jump away just in time as Raquazza burst from the ground. Kimani then retaliated with a Fire Strike to its body as it flew past. It roared again, making everyone cover their ears.

"I'm going to go deaf at this rate.." Yoshi said as he threw an egg at him in order to shut him up. Raquazza's eyes flashed as he made an explosion hit Yoshi. Jordan caught Yoshi as the explosion sent him flying towards him. Austin switched to Venom and started firing at Raquazza. He got struck by three arrows before his eyes flashed and a barrier appeared and blocked the remaining arrows.

"He can use Protect? Thats a new one..." Toon gawked as he tried throwing his boomerang, only to watch as it bounced harmlessly off of him. Luckily for them, he couldn't attack while he was using Protect.

"He probably has like 1 Hp left..." Kimani deadpanned as he fired an Focus Blast at him. Just like the last time, it bounced off his shield. Toon actually had to step out the way as it was reflected back towards him. Toon glanced at Kimani, who sweatdropped, before he attempted to make the wind knock him off balance. Raquazza started to wobble as he struggled to resist the wind and keep Protect up.

"Hes losing it, keep it up Toon!" Jordan yelled as he started throwing stones at Raquazza. Everyone, including Raquazza himself, sweatdropped at him before Raquazza got blowned over and splashed into the water. Jordan quickly threw a rock, hitting him in the head. Raquazza, with a knot on his head from the rock, roared one final time before he flopped on the shore with swirls in his eyes. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and exhaustion. Raquazza made a slight choking noise before he spat out 4 Element Shards.

"Well, thats convenient... " Kimani said as he walked over towards Raquazza. Before he picked them up, Raquazza's eyes shot open, making Kimani yell in panic. He rose his body up and leaned closely towards Kimani, who was preparing to sock him in the nose... only to lower his head to him as if he was apologizing. Confused, Kimani turned and looked at the others, only to receive shrugs in response. Jordan told him to play dead, making Kimani give him a look. He turned back towards Raquazza and saw his eyes flash. Expecting a fury of fire and smoke in his face, he, as well as the other, were surprised as they started glowing. He looked at his Wii-Mote and saw that the Hp squares on his remote were filled.

"Oh... Ah... thanks?" Kimani muttered questionably, yelping when Raquazza nuzzled him slightly. He then dove back into the water. Still feeling awkward, Kimani picked up the shards and brought them over to where the others were.

"Kimani, you OK? You seem kinda spooked.." Toon asked, concerned that he still had a blank face on.

Kimani shook his head, "Well I can clearly say that I have stared a Raquazza in the face and lived... hmm... Never thought I would say that..." Everyone laughed before Kimani gave each person (except Yoshi and Toon) their shards. They all smashed the shards against their chest and were surrounded by their element for a second before it fizzled out.

"My connection with my element has gotten stronger...Although you cant do anything new yet..." Firebrand said, making the four groan in disappointment. With that out the way, the group continued through the forest, hoping that they would find the missing apes soon.


Smash Manor- Living Room

(Mario's Pov)

We sat there in the living room and wondered if the heroes, Toon and Yoshi had found the others yet. Luigi was sipping tea he pulled out from an unseen dimension, Master was reading a book about magic. He was reading it at one point then attempting to do what it said. Right now, he was attempting an spell that made one invisible. When he snapped his fingers, the recliner he was sitting on turned invisible but I dont think he even noticed. Crazy was in the middle of the floor, using his magic to make little beings of energy fight each other. It looked like it was him vs Bowser at this point. Link, Zelda, Peach and Bowser weren't in the room at the moment so we guessed that they were in their rooms.

Attempting to break the silence, I asked everyone, "So, what do you think the others were doing?"

The others stopped and looked at me before they shrugged in return.

"Why dont we call them and see where they are right now." Crazy suggested as he swiped his hand across the floor, knocking the mini figurines away. Master nodded before he attempted to get in touch with the others. We all felt our thoughts merge together as we heard him telepathically call out to the others.

"Firebrand, Typhoon, Venom, Ebony and Ivory, Alpha, You there?" Master said. After a good 15 seconds, we got a mixed amount of replies.

"Fire and Kimani here, whats up?"

"This is Typhoon and Jordan, What do you want?"

"This better be important... Me, Austin, Ivory and Ebony here were having the most interesting chat ever..." Everyone sweatdrop as he sarcastically said that. Another slap sound was heard, making Venom shout "Ivory!" in anger.

"Alpha and Master Dylan, awaiting feedback."

"Where are you guys? Have you found DK and Diddy yet?" Master asked.

"No, not yet. We got held by a giant serpent..." Typhoon said.

"It was Raquazza, Ty..." Toon corrected. Typhoon told him, "Shut it, Cartoon."

"Raquazza? I thought he wasn't a bad guy anymore." I said as I remembered a story Diddy and Fox had told me a few years ago about their encounter with him.

"Something disturbed him so he went on a rampage. After we defeated him, he calmed down, healed us and even gave us Element Shards." Yoshi explained. Master ahh-ed.

"Well, are you guys alright?" Master pondered. Everyone said "Yeah."

"Wait a minute.. What the...Hey guys? Whats that over there?" We heard Kimani ask the others. Confused, I attempted to figure out what he meant.

"Like what?"

"Scanners indicate that a large being has left tracks. Searching Monster/Creature database for matches... Searching complete, results: None." Alpha roboticly answered.

"Yeah, I know that! I saw it over there!" Kimani retorted.

"I saw it too. It sorta looked like a giant plant thing..." Jordan added. Giant plant thing? I pondered about what it could possibly be. The only plant being I knew about was the Lava Piranha Plant and he only lives on Lava-Lava Island miles away from here.

"Mar, you ok?" Crazy asked as he waved a hand in my face. I blinked twice before I shook my head.

"Yeah, sorry. Just thinking. The only plant thing I know of is the Lava Piranha Plant."

"But there are footsteps so it cant be one." Austin told me.

"I know..."

"Mario. What about-a Petey?" Luigi pipped up. An exclamation mark appeared over my head.

"Petey? Who the hell is that?" Firebrand asked. Before anyone could answer, Alpha started explaining.

"Results for 'Petey.' One result found. Petey Piranha. Petey is a Giant Piranha Plant that somehow grew a body. Because of this, he is capable of walking around and picking up objects with his leafy hands. He is also capable of eating everything and puking up goop that has various effects to people. Other than that hes just a oversized Piranha Plant."

"Oh. So DK and Diddy must be with Petey." Kimani said before he sighed, "Why can't we just fight something our size today..."

"Because that would be too easy." Firebrand replied.

"And being too easy is a bad thing?"

"No, You just can't have it." Everyone heard Kimani groan out loud.

"Well, just be-a careful. Petey is a bit tricky to beat." I told them.

"How is he hard? All we need to do is spray him in the mouth with water and make his gut stick out. Then we get Jordan to jump on him." Dylan said.

"HEY! WHY ME!?" Jordan shouted in anger.

"Because no one can ground-pound and your the heaviest. No offense."

"...Fine, you make a fair point..."

"Do any of you have a F.L.U.D.D device on-a your back?" I asked with an vein on my head.

"...No..." They replied sheepishly.

"Thats why its tricky. Just wail on him enough so-a he'll leave you alone. Jordan, if your-a able to, try and get some water in his mouth. It will make him slower and his belly-a button will pop out. Hit him there hard enough and it should do-a some tough damage against him."

"I dont know how I can do that, but OK." Jordan said.

"Well we better go before Plantzilla here gets any ideas about lunch." Kimani said before they all said "Goodbye!" and disconnected from our minds.

"At least they are close to finding them." Master said, making us nod in agreement.

"I guess the only thing we can do is just sit here and wait..." Crazy said as he laid on the ground. Master shrugged and went back to reading his book, only to stumble across something inside it.

"Hey, I just found out a spell that allows me to make projections of people." He said.

"Big whoop. I already knew how to do that." Crazy said as he made two mini-Crazy's wave at him.

"I ment, I can see what they are doing and even show everyone else." He said flatly as he snapped his fingers. A circle of light appeared on the ground, making Crazy yelp and quickly move. Inside the circle, they could see life sized projections of the heroes as well as Toon and Yoshi.

"Thats so COOL! TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT!" Crazy yelled as he snatched the book from Master and read the spell. Master sighed but otherwised ignored him. As Crazy read the book, we watched them travel through the small clearance.


Jungle Japes- Inside the Jungle

(Kimani's Pov)

We walked through the clearance, trying our best to ignore the giant footprints we were following.

"So this, Petey, person. Is he dangerous?" I decided to ask. Toon was the one that answered me.

"Not really... He's a goof ball to be honest."

"So this should be easy?"

"Should be. But then again, when is it ever easy?"

We continued walking down the path, I noticed that there were a couple spots where there was this weird goop on the ground. Yoshi had told me not to touch it as it might affect me somehow. After a 10 minute walk, We finally reached a large open area. But more importantly, We saw a cage that held an Ape and a Chimpanzee.

"Hey, its them!" Toon yelled as the two primates quickly shot up in surprise. They started making loud monkey noises, which would tip off Petey. I quickly told them to shush before we heard footsteps coming from behind the row of trees near the cage. I made some hand motions, signaling everyone to hide. But instead, I got confused looks.

"Just take cover.." I flatly said, making everyone ah. I facepalmed as we dove into some nearby bushes. Seconds after we hid ourselves, a giant plant wearing poka-dotted shorts or underwear came stomping towards the cage. We heard the plant make some noise which sounded like a retarded dino and Diddy responded with a squeak.

"Anyone speak...well...animal?" I whispered.

"Petey asked why were they yelling and Diddy just said 'no reason.'" Yoshi responded. I nodded as they continued to communicate with each other. After a loud grunt from DK, which sounded like fighting words to me, I heard the cage open and DK loudly yell as we heard slapping noises. Peeking out, we saw Petey slapping him hard in his back while a vine held him upside down. Yoshi apparently wouldn't stand for this because he dashed out the bushes and head-butted Petey in the stomach. Petey yelped as he fell over on his back.

"Well, so much for the element of surprise..." Austin deadpanned as he fazed back into existence.

"You used Stealth?" Dylan asked as we jumped out of the bushes.

"Yeah, I was planing to go over there and pick the lock."

"Well, that would have been boring..." Typhoon bluntly stated. We facepalmed before we heard Yoshi yell in protest. Glancing over, we saw that Petey had grabbed Yoshi, and was planning on eating him.

"Not on my watch! Focus Blast!" I said before I quickly charged up a small ball of energy and shot it towards Petey. He ended up swallowing it, making me sweatdrop when it exploded and made his stomach bulge out for a second. While it didn't seem to do any damage, it did distract Petey long enough for Yoshi to wiggle out of his grasp. Austin had ran over towards DK while Dylan went to the cage for Diddy, But Petey...threw up... some red goo and made it surround both the cage with Diddy inside it and the tree DK was tied to. Austin and Dylan stepped in the goo and instantly yelled as they hopped away with their feet on fire.

"OW! WHY THE HELL IS THAT STUFF HOT!?" Austin yelled as he took damage from the Ignite status. Dylan took damage too but he didn't have the Ignite status on him and he didn't take as much damage as Austin did.

"Uh-Oh, Your Ignited Auzzy! You'll lose HP every 5 seconds until it goes away! Get someone to beat the fire off of you or jump into some water!" Ivory panicked.

"He seems to have some elemental power inside of him... Dylan, see if Alpha can see what tricks he has up his...uh... diaper." Ebony asked. Dylan, after smacking the fire off of Austin, whos clothes were darker in tint because of the ash, nodded before he scanned Petey as he slapped me into a tree.

"Thats Petey Piranha, a Giant Piranha Plant. Somehow he managed to grow a body so hes dangerous compared to a normal Piranha Plant. He seems to have some elemental attacks in the form of goo. He has goo that will slow you down, poison you, shock you, set you on fire and he can spit plain water on you as well. This battle will test how much you know about your element's strengths and weaknesses. Kimani, watch out for the water as it will make your elemental ability's fail and also the Icy Goo will affect you more than everyone else here. Austin needs to avoid the Fire Goo as he takes more damage from that and hes more likely to be Ignited. Jordan, avoid the Electric Goo because not only can you be seriously hurt by it, but If your Paralyzed by it, chances are you will still be in the goo and will take even more damage. Dylan, just like Kimani, avoid the water. You'll take damage from it the longer your in it." Alpha explained.

"Phew, thats a lot to take in..." Dylan muttered, sweatdropping. I peeled myself off the tree Petey slammed me into before I punched him hard in the stomach. Good thing was he took some good damage, bad thing was that he threw up water and drenched me.

"Be careful, your Soaked. My Fire Ability's dont work when your wet and you'll take double damage from any Lightning or Electric attacks." Firebrand told me.

"Yeah, not to mention, I hate water anyway..." I said as I tried to wring my jacket out. The roar from Petey made me look to see him charging at me. Yelping, I slid under him then kicked him. He stumbled from the extra momentum and crashed into Jordan's war-hammer. While he was on the ground, Austin and Dylan jumped onto his back with their daggers equipped.

"Triple Poison Strike!" "Triple Lighting Blade!" Austin and Dylan yelled as they slashed thrice at Petey's back, doing tons of damage as Austin's passive made their attacks do double damage. (Dylan also can copy people's passive ability's) We all high-fived at that act of teamwork before Petey turned red and went berserk. Even his petals fell off and got replaced by fiery ones.

"Ah, Hes mad isn't he?" Austin asked as we sweatdropped. Toon was busy trying to walk through the Fire Goo surrounding the cage that held Diddy using his Iron Boots and Yoshi had used his Flutter Jump and landed on a branch then started to crawl over to the branch that held DK.

"Yeah, he's pissed. Keep him busy so me and Yoshi can get DK and Diddy." Toon said. I sighed as Petey roared, making us slide back from the force of his roar.

"OK. GET HIM!" Jordan shouted as he charged at plant being, only to get violently headbutted in the face, sending him into the bushes we just took cover in. We sweatdropped as Petey laughed then started firing Fire Goo at us. Everyone quickly ducked behind cover and waited until Petey stopped before we rushed at him. I went to punch him but he jumped over it and did a Ground-Pound on my back, squishing me. Dylan and Austin had tried to attack him with an aerial attack, but Petey grabbed both of them with one hand then slammed them together twice before throwing them away.

"What hit me?" Austin said with a dazed expression. Dylan just groaned in response. I was still pinned under Petey so I couldn't do much...unless... I checked to see if I was still Soaked. To my satisfaction, I wasn't, so I quickly made a small flame appear in my hand. I then held it up towards Petey's bottom and waited until Petey jumped up, shouting in pain. I quickly scurried from the spot as Petey landed on his face.

"Where did you learn how to do that?" Fire asked me as I shook my hand to dispel the flame from my hand.

"I don't know. I just thought of fire and I got fire." I responded, only to get hit by Petey's Icy Goo. Not only did that do damage but it also slowed me down drastically.

"Being Slowed is pretty obvious. If your Slowed, then your attack speed and general actions will be slowed. Since your element is Fire, this affects you more."

"Nice to know you'll tell me what these status effects do.." I said as I tried to run away from Petey, but I couldn't so he caught me and slapped me hard on my back. I yelled as I soared into a tree and smashed my back against it. I slowly slid down the tree until my head touched the ground before I flopped on my stomach.

"I dont think he likes you.." Firebrand stated, making me look up in annoyance. I glanced at my Hp and saw that it was knocked to half. I swear we needed some kind of upgrade for that. I got myself up and saw that I had landed next to the tree that held DK. Yoshi was still fumbling with the vine and trying to untie it. I shook my head as I made a flame appear in my hand again. I held it close to the vine and waited until it burned through it half way. DK's weight did the rest and made it snap. DK yelped as he face-planted on the ground. Seconds after, Yoshi had untied the vine.

"Geez, that was a hard knot to un..." He started only to see me helping DK up, "Tie..."

"Yeah, sorry Yosh. Didn't mean to steal your spotlight." I said. Yoshi just dropped his head as he jumped down. DK gave us a bear hug, which almost broke some of my ribs, before he grunted something. Luckily, Fire came to our rescue before we passed out.

"DK, I think you need to let them go. Kimani is turning blue...and thats not easy for him to do honestly." Firebrand said. DK looked at me before he let us go. We sat there and got our breath back before we listened to his grunting.

"DK said to get on his back so we can get over the goo." Yoshi said as he used his Flutter Jump to cross the goo again. I glanced at DK, who crouched so I could reach his back. Sighing, I climbed on his back and waited until he stood up and started climbing the tree. I yelped as he almost threw me off but I grabbed a handful of his fur. He glanced back as if he was telling me not to yank his fur. I sweatdropped as he jumped off the tree branch we were on and landed safely on the other side. I jumped off his back and scratched him on the top of his head. He nuzzled me slightly before he yelped and yanked me out of the way of Jordan, who flew past us after Petey slapped him in the face.

"Alright, I'M GETTING TIRED OF YOU!" Jordan roared as his Berserk power activated automatically. Jordan stormed past us, making me and DK step back as he passed. Jordan then took Typhoon and slammed him harshly into Petey's stomach, launching him into a nearby tree. DK ook-ed something, making me shrug in response.

"No, He isn't normally like this... Must be Typhoons doing." I said, while watching Jordan repeatedly slam his hammer on Petey. More grunting came from the Ape, "Thats his weapon's name."

"Did you understand him?" Fire asked me.

"Not really. But after that scene, I had a really good idea what he said." I told him.

"Got it!" Toon randomly shouted as he finished picking the lock to Diddy's cell. Diddy jumped on Toon's back while chattering happily.

"Your welcome!" Toon responded as he started walking back with Diddy still on his back. Now that we got the Kongs back, all we had to do was take out Petey.

"RAWR!" Which wouldn't be easy I guess... Everyone glanced at Petey, who was now starting to glow.

"Ah, what happened to Petey?" Jordan asked as his Berserk power deactivated and he started backing up as he was standing next to him.

"I think it had something to do with the beat-down you did to him." I deducted. Jordan had a confused expression so I told him nevermind. Petey then snapped his head back and roared, turning into a darker green. His red head and diaper both turned black as he now had 2 fiery eyes looking at us. Needless to say, it freaked us out.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM!?" Yoshi yelled as he shot a dark glob of energy at us. We moved out the way and let it hit a tree. When it collided with it, it instantly designated.

"Dylan, a Scan would be very helpful right about now!" I yelled as he fired a glob of water at me. When it hit, it did a fair bit of damage and disabled my Fire moves again.

"I'm on it! Scan!" Dylan said as he looked at Petey.

"Thats Dark or Sub-Petey. Apparently, they injected him with some Sub-Space and made him into...well that! Dark Petey can use the same attacks, only they do more damage now. Dark Petey can even shoot globs of Sub-Space at you. Be sure not to get hit by that as it can devastate your Hp since your humans. Your lucky we are with you but all we can do is prevent you from turning into a Sub-Being."

"So that crap can one-shot us basiclly?!" Jordan yelled as Petey shot some Sub-Space at him. He panicked and accidentally tripped, making the energy soar over him.

"Yes! Now stop talking and take care of that giant weed!" Fire yelled at him.

"Gladly! Got a giant weed eater!?" I shot back.

"THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ONE LINERS!" He roared, making me raise my hands in defense as I switched to my rifle and started firing at Petey. But, Petey just ate the bullets and spat them back out. Yelping, I quickly dove out the way as the bullets came close to nicking me in the shoulder.

"OK, so ranged attacks wont work.." I muttered as I switched again and went to hit Petey. I slightly hesitated so Petey got the first swing in. He almost took my head off with a dark leaf to the skull but I swayed and barely avoided it before I came back with a strong straight to his stomach. Petey grunted as he pounded me on top of my head then attempted to grab me, but Austin came and sliced his leaf, making him recoil. Dylan copied Toon and jabbed him in the back a few time while Jordan pounded him in the side. Toon starting hacking away at Petey's other side, Yoshi jumped on Petey and started wailing on him while Diddy pulled out two wooden guns and started firing at Petey. DK joined me in socking Petey in the stomach as hard as we could. Petey was angered and spun while making a twister surround him, sucking us in. We yelled as we were flung around by the twister. When he stopped, we hit the ground hard, making us taking heavy damage.

"Oy... Firebrand...We need...more...Hp..." I muttered as my Hp was blinking red.

"Ah, Cant help you there.." Firebrand said, making me sigh in exasperation. Everyones Hp was pretty low at his point. Me and Jordan was at 1 square while Austin and Dylan were at 2.

"Well we cant survive on this amount of health..." Jordan deadpanned as he cracked his back.

"I dont think there are any Health Shards... which is bullshit..." Typhoon grumbled.

"Well, this isnt good..." Dylan sulked. Petey roared as he stomped towards us. At that time, I felt like were were doomed...


Smash Manor- The Living Room

"NO!" Master shouted as he watch the hologram. Everyone was pretty injured while Petey had an energy boost and could inflict more damage.

"We gotta do something!" Crazy said as he stood up and tried to punch Holo-Petey. Mario pulled him away as Master was pacing around.

"Ah...Ugh...ERRR... I DON'T KNOW!" He said as he flopped on the ground in frustration.

"Master, we're in a rut right now!" They heard Firebrand say.

"Yeah, we see that! You guys gotta move or something!" Mario yelled.

"I think the heroes are winded from doing two giant boss battles in a row. Can you teleport them to safety or something?" Venom asked.

"Maybe, But since you're far away, it might take a while to gather the energy." Master said as he stood up.

"WELL STOP TALKING AND HAUL ASS THEN! WE ARE TAKING A BEATING!" Typhoon roared, making us recoil. Master sighed as he told Crazy to help him teleport everyone to the manor.

"Alright, it might take at least... 5 minutes until we are able to transport you. Can you survive till then?" Crazy said as him and Master locked hands and started concentrating.

"Doubt it. But we'll do our best." Ebony said.

"Such lack of faith..." Ivory commented, making Ebony say "Whatever. I'm joking.."


Jungle Japes- Inside the Forest

(Firebrand's Pov) (Weird right?)

Great, just great. So we had to survive for 5 minutes with critical Hp and with a Sub-Space powered plant... Definitely harder than it sounds...

"OK, so all you need to do is avoid him for 5 minutes, then you should be home free." I told them. Kimani panted before looking at me. (his remote, basically)

"Should be?" He questioned. I sighed as I ignored him and watched as he narrowly avoided a Sub-Space glob from hitting him.

"Oh yeah, definitely avoid that. That will screw you up.." I said, sweatdropping.

"I think they got that in mind Fire..." Venom muttered.

"Just shut up and stay focused on the task at hand.." I told him bitterly as I watched Jordan yelp when he almost got zapped when Petey spat a Lightning Bolt at him.

"He's not playing around!" Jordan said as he tripped again and slid under a second bolt.

"Yeah! This is one monster thats out of our league!" Austin agreed as he got hit in the back with some Icy Goo, slowing him down. He then fired some Sub-Space Goo at him, only to hit air as Dylan yanked him out of the way.

"What would you do without me?" Dylan sighed as he avoided a patch of Fire Goo.

"Whats that suppose to mean?" Austin said, offended. Dylan laughed as he put Austin down.

"I'm kidding. WHOA! MOVE!" Dylan told him before yelling as another glob of Sub-Space came their way. Austin grabbed Dylan and used Stealth, making both of them disappear before they got hit. When the projectile missed, they phased back.

"Wait, that worked?" Typhoon gawked.

"Apparently. I just winged it..." Austin responded, ignoring Dylan's cry of "WHAT!?"

"I forgot about that. Some powers can also affect other heroes if they are close enough or touching." I said as Kimani did a barrel roll to avoid a water ball from hitting him.

"So could I make someone gain the effect of Berserk?" Jordan asked as he got hit by a glob of Fire Goo.

"That one is a no." Typhoon said, making Jordan pout slightly. Petey attempted to make another tornado to suck them up, but everyone had grabbed something so they didn't get hurt by it.

"Phew, glad we saw that coming. Master, how long will it take now?" Kimani said as he threw a rock at Petey, which he smacked away before running up to Kimani and slapping him hard in the face.

"Uh, 2 minutes? Think you'll make it?" Master's voice said.

Kimani groaned as he rubbed his head, "Ow... Yeah. Not if I keep getting slapped like this..."

"Then dont throw rocks at it!" I shouted at him, making Kimani pluck the remote in response. I actually felt it and said "Ow." lightly. Kimani gave me a slight glance before he looked up, yelled and threw his shield up. A glob of Sub-Space smashed into his shield, making him slide back into the tree again.

"Uh, Should I be worried?" Kimani asked as he disbanded his shield and looked at his arms. To be honest, I wasn't sure. Kimani was the only person who used his arms to block. (Dylan's goggles can make a shield appear)

"It hit your shield right?" I asked. He nodded in response, "Then you should be alright.. Just dont turn into a Primid on me."

"Isn't that your job?..." Kimani deadpanned. Oh yeah... I coughed as I told him to shut up. He really did remind me of myself... He was sarcastic most of the time, he hid his embarrassment the same way I did and we were very rude to our friends a lot, but we meant well. My thoughts were interrupted when Kimani yelped as he got hit by another water ball. He went sliding into a tree before he slumped down.

"Kimani, You ok?" I asked. I sorta panicked when he didn't respond. He must have lost his Hp. "KIMANI!?" OK, so I panicked a lot.. I bet Ty was the same when Jordan got KO'ed that one time.

"Fire, calm down! I think he needs a revive. I'll send Austin over to revive him." Ebony told me. I muttered before I sighed. She was right. Theres no way a water ball could kill him. I saw Austin appear in front of him after using Stealth to sneak over.

"Fire, you in there?" Austin asked me.

"Yeah, I'm still here. I guess you need to know how to use Revive right?" I questioned. Austin nodded in response, "Place your hand on Kimani's Wii-Mote and say Revive. It takes a while to kick in so keep your hand on it."

"Got it," Austin said as he placed his hand on me. "Revive." Austin's Wil-Motes started glowing as Kimani's did too.

"Alright Fire, the energy is coming your way. Just dont put it to waste.." Venom told me. I felt the urge to roll my eyes as the energy from the 4 of them reached me. I then focused on transferring it to Kimani. After a second of concentration, Kimani's body glowed before he opened his eyes.

"Bah... What happened. Did I zone out?" Kimani slurred as he looked around for a second. Austin sweatdropped.

"No, You lost all your Hp." He told him, making Kimani gain a vein on his head.

"SERIOUSLY!? DAMN IT!" He shouted, gaining Petey's attention.

"WAY TO GO BIG MOUTH!" Venom shouted.

"SHUT UP YOU PSYCHO!" He shot back.

"For the love of... STEALTH!" Austin muttered before grabbing Kimani and disappearing. Petey had just shot a Sub-Space glob at them just as they disappeared and made the tree de-materialize.

"I swear, your timing with that move.." Kimani commented as they phased back into existence. Austin just swatted Kimani in the back of his head and told him to calm down. Kimani gave him an dirty look but sighed and reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, We are ready to get you guys out of there. Get everyone together and we'll teleport you out of there." Master's voice rung out. Everyone nodded before they tried to get together. But Petey had to ruin everything and make another tornado and sucked up everyone. He did this for a while before the tornado flung everyone in a different direction. Kimani, DK and Jordan landed somewhere to the right of Petey and they had piled on Kimani.(Surprise, surprise) Austin, Dylan and Diddy went into a couple of prickly bushes and Toon and Yoshi landed on top of a tree.

"Guys, I cant teleport you unless your grouped together." Master told us, "If you want to get out of there, you might actually have to fight Petey after all."

"Well, our Hp is kinda low. And Petey hits like a truck." Jordan strained to say as he attempted to push DK off of him. Kimani was under the both of them, dying.

"If you think you can take him, I can refill your Hp, but thats your last chance. After that, I cant assist you for 30 minutes."

"So basically, do you guys have enough balls to take on Dark Petey now?" I translated. Everyone but Kimani (who was still suffocating) looked at each other before they nodded.

"Really? You guys are braver than I though... OK, We'll refill your Hp but be careful. It was a hassle gathering the energy to teleport you guys and we wont be able to help you for a while. We wont even be able to talk to you!"

"Just go ahead and heal us. By the looks of it, I think Kimani needs it. DK, get off of them." Toon said as he and Yoshi leaped off the tree. DK heard Toon and shook the cobwebs out of his head and rolled off Jordan, who got off of Kimani. Kimani was actually as flat as paper right now. Jordan picked up Kimani and attempted to un-flatten him by shaking him but it didn't work. Toon sighed as he pulled a bike pump from his hammerspace and threw it to Jordan, who caught it before using it to inflate Kimani back to 3-D.

"I'm so tired of people landing on me..." Kimani deadpanned.

"It seems to be happening a lot lately..." I said, making Kimani glare at me.

"Put a sock in it..."

"It's not my fault your a professional air cushion."

"I'll just heal you..." Master muttered as the heroes, Toon, DK, Diddy and Yoshi glowed for a second. After that, I didn't feel Master or Crazy's presence anymore.

"OK, I guess we are alone now. You know what to do; take out Dark Petey so you guys can escape safely."

"Sounds like a plan. Now that our Hp is filled up, we should be able to take him down." Kimani responded while cracking his knuckles. He cracked one too hard and shook his hand with a disdainful look on his face. Dark Petey roared before he shot another glob of Sub-Space at them.

"Scatter!" Dylan shouted before everyone moved in different directions. Kimani and Jordan used their tag team move in order to do some damage against Dark Petey. I added some fire to his attack and made Jordan turn into a Fire Cyclone. Since Petey was technically a plant, it did a ton of damage to him.

"I love doing that!" Kimani cheered as Petey beat the flame that was on him.

"Easy for you to say... Your not the one that gets dizzy from that." Jordan said with swirls in his eyes. Kimani simply slapped him like last time, making Jordan's aliment go away. Petey then grabbed both of them, slammed them together 4 times then threw them somewhere behind him.

"TO ARMS, MY TRUSTY STEED!" Toon shouted while holding his sword up into the air. He was on Yoshi's back at the moment, who sweatdropped.

"My trusty steed?" Yoshi said in confusion. Toon's face dropped slightly.

"Wha- I said, TO ARMS!" Toon said in frustration as he kicked Yoshi with his heels, making Yoshi make a realistic horse sound and charge at Dark Petey. Petey swung at them but Yoshi jumped over it and Toon slashed Petey in the head, making him yell in frustration. Petey then shot a glob of Fire Goo at them, but Toon used his Wind Waker and made a strong gust of wind blow it back. Petey got hit by it, but it didn't do that much to him. Just then, Austin and Dylan snuck up on Petey via Stealth and slashed him in the back. Petey whined before he fell back, squishing the two. When he got up, they were slightly embedded into the ground.

"Well that hurt..." Dylan muttered.

"Yep..." Austin agreed. They almost got stomped on again but they moved out the way. DK roared as he charged at Petey and punched him in the stomach, sending him into the tree DK was tied to earlier. Petey roared in frustration as he picked the tree up and barfed Fire Goo on it, igniting the tree.

"Oh great. He's armed now.." Kimani grumbled as he helped Jordan up.

"Wasnt he already armed before?" I asked in confusion. Kimani gave me his trademark glare in response.

"Do you ever shut up?" He asked me disdainfully.

"Nah. Talking is too fun. Also, If it aggravates you then my job is complete." I told him, earning a groan in response.

"I think I have an idea.." Dylan said. Everyone looked at him.

"What is it?" Kimani asked, yelping when a Sub-Space glob nicked him. Even though it didn't directly hit him, it did do enough damage to cut his Hp down to half.

"Exactly. Thats why you dont want the Sub-Space to touch you. That substance is extremely dangerous to humans." I told him as he inspected the spot where it nicked him. There was a small spot where his skin was darker. (than usual that is)

"Should I be worried?" Kimani said as he glanced at the spot before he covered it back up with his jacket, which also had the spot.

"Maybe. Lets take care of Petey then we'll get Master and Crazy to look at it."

"ANYWAY," Dylan said loudly, a bit flustered that he got cut off, "I was saying that maybe we could trap Petey inside the cage that DK and Diddy was in."

"Thats a tight fit.." Jordan said as he looked at DK, who was currently exchanging blows with Petey.

"Maybe, but lets go help DK first." Kimani told them before they heard DK cry out in pain. They saw DK get launched towards them when Petey landed a hit on him. Kimani, Austin, Dylan and Jordan all helped in catching him, but they still slid back from the force of his body.

"Geez!" They all shouted as they struggled slightly. They then put him down and was rewarded by another bear hug, much to Kimani's annoyance.

"Cant... Breath...AGAIN!..." Kimani weakly said, making DK drop them and grunt something. Kimani glared at him.

"What do you mean by that?!" Kimani shouted, making DK grunt in the same tone, "Well its not my fault, I'm sma- I mean, your bigger than me!"

"Was you about to say something about your hi-"

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT FINISHING THAT SENTENCE!" Kimani roared as his hands caught on fire, greatly startling everyone. Even Dark Petey looked a little nervous for that slight second. DK quickly grunted something while waving his hands defensively and sweatdropping. Kimani snorted while crossing his arms. His hands weren't on fire anymore. Petey interrupted their argument by throwing the tree at them. Everyone yelled before Kimani quickly turned then Power Punched the tree, effectively sending it back towards him.

"Scanners indicate that Kimani's strength has increased by 50%. Also his anger level has increased 75%" Alpha informed us. Kimani sighed deeply before he looked at Petey, who was pushing the tree off of him.

"Dylan," Kimani started, making him raise his eyebrow, "How would we get him in the cage?"

"I dont know. Knock him in?" He said with a shrug. Everyone sorta muttered OK's and other things, making Dylan give them a face. They looked at Petey and saw that he was actually tapping his foot impatiently with his arms crossed. We sweatdropped as Kimani stuck his tongue out at Petey.

"At least he was kind enough to wait for us..." Jordan trailed off.

"No he wasn't! He threw a tree at us!" Kimani shot back. Petey grumbled something as he stomped towards us and swung his leafy hand at the group. Since people like Toon and Diddy were short enough, they didn't need to duck. Even Kimani avoided it by tilting his head down slightly. Everyone else had to duck though. Kimani Power Punched Petey (Try saying that 5 times fast..) in the stomach again, making him roar and pick up Kimani. He started pounding on his leaf before Petey threw him at Jordan, who caught him but still fell over. Austin attempted to stab him in the side, but Petey kicked him away before shooting some Sub Goo at him. Austin yelped before he called his shield and blocked it.

"That stuff didn't hit you right?" Ebony asked. Austin shook his head as he watched the Goo fall off his shield. While he dealt with that, Dylan copied DK and gained black fur around him. He even had DK's tie on, but it had Dylan's initials on it and it was black. Dylan started spinning his arm around rapidly as Petey was detracted by Diddy Kong. Diddy Kong was currently climbing on Petey and taunting him. Whenever he swung at Diddy, he would move, resulting in Petey hitting himself. This went on for a while before Dylan threw his fist forward and socked Petey in the stomach really hard. It sent him crashing through many trees. Angered to no end, Petey went into another fit of rage and started firing many globs of Sub-Space at us. Every one yelled as they quickly scrambled to hiding places. The problem was that when the Sub Goo hit an object, (except the ground) it would de-materialize and everyone would have to scramble around to another spot. This went on for a moment before Yoshi gained a anime vein and threw an egg at Petey, stopping him when he got the egg stuck in his throat. Kimani 'helped' him by planting his foot in his gut, hurting and making him spit the egg out. The egg ricocheted off of Dylan's head, dazing him. Kimani then got slapped again and flew towards everyone. Since Dylan was dazed by the egg, he couldn't avoid Kimani's body so he got hurt when Kimani slammed into his stomach.

"Im just a big ache today.." Kimani slurred as he had swirls in his eyes.

"Yeah, you are." Dylan said as he pushed him off. Petey panted slightly before he uttered another roar. He then ran towards everyone with his mouth agape.

"He's hungry! MOVE YOUR ASS!" I yelled as Kimani and Dylan were getting up slowly. Petey had reached them and had chomped Kimani in his side and started to shake him around, making him yell loudly. It took 5 punches from Kimani in order to get Petey to let him go. Petey left some teeth marks on his side, angering him even more. The only reason he didn't get ripped to shreds was that since he linked with me, I gave him increased defense and attack power so he couldn't get hurt as easy, So basically, I made him sorta un-breakable.

"AHH! YOU SON OF A!" Kimani shouted as he did his variation of a flying dragon kick and struck Petey in his temple, effectively staggering him. Jordan brushed past Kimani and sweeped Petey off his feet when he swung at his legs. Petey tipped over and Jordan asked Typhoon if he could make some water appear.

"Nope. You cant do anything like that yet." Typhoon answered, making Jordan pout. Toon had an idea and pulled out his Wind Waker again. After he conducted, The clouds got dark and it had begun to rain. Kimani and Dylan had retreated under the nearest tree seconds before it started to rain. Petey got enough water inside him and it made his stomach budge out. DK apparently knew what they was planning because he went next to Petey and cupped his hands. He then signaled for Jordan to jump into his hands. Jordan nodded as he took a running start and jumped into DK's hands. DK visibly strained as he didn't think Jordan was that heavy, but he still was able to throw him high into the air. Jordan did an unintentional flip before he came down and stomped hard on Petey's stomach. Petey roared in pain as Jordan jumped off. Petey continued to roar and flail around before he slowed down and stopped moving. Everyone held their breath as they continued to stare at the giant plant. After some arguing, they all picked Jordan to be the one that would check him out.

"This is so unfair..." Jordan muttered as he walked up to Petey. He used Typhoon and nudged Petey with him.

"DON'T USE ME, MORON!" Typhoon shouted in rage, making Jordan almost drop him in surprise.

"No, use him. Its hilarious." I instigated, laughing when Typhoon said "QUIET, YOU PITIFUL FLAME!"

"Bring it, Puddle!" I challenged, making Kimani hide a snicker. I mentally told him that was a good one and he agreed.

"Cut it out you two!" Jordan said as he dispelled Typhoon and poked him, much like Kimani would do. Petey just made a choking sound and spat out 8 Shards. After that, his body started turning into Shadow Bugs and floated up into the sky.

"So, that wasn't the real Petey?" Yoshi asked with a confused expression. Toon and DK both shrugged while Diddy, who was cowering in the trees came down and chirped something. DK gave him a deadpanned look before he grunted something. Diddy stuck his tongue out at him in retaliation. Kimani roughly said for them to speak English, but DK and Diddy both made noises at him.

"Well... Hey! He dropped Smash Shards and Element Shards!" Jordan said as he just noticed them lying there. Kimani instantly bolted over there.

"Really!? AW YEAH! NEW ABILITY'S AND WE CAN USE OUR ELEMENTS!" He shouted, making Jordan clamp a hand over his mouth while picking his ear.

"Yes... and OW." Jordan whined. Kimani took this time and picked up a Smash Shard and his Element Shard. Everyone else did the same thing once they came over.

"So which one should we use first?" Dylan asked as he eyed his two shards. Half of the group said Element Shards while the others said Smash Shards. Everyone looked at each other before they tried again. This time, each half said the opposite thing that they said last time. There was an awkward silence before Kimani said that they should use the Element Shards since that was new to them. Everyone agreed and took their shards and smashed them against their chest. As usual, they were surrounded by their element but it didn't faze out as pitifully as usual.

"Congratulations, you can now use my element... well more effectively now." I told Kimani, " You are now capable of throwing Fireballs and can now use my Fire Form technique."

"Fire Form? The hell is that?" He said as he made a ball of Fire appear in his hand.

"You can coat your body with fire so you can do more damage and can Ignite people just by touching them or being near them. Just dont use it for too long or you'll start damaging yourself." Kimani's eyes literally sparkled at the thought.

"Ahh, I have a feeling im gonna enjoy this." He sighed.

"So, Typhoon, what did I get?" Jordan said as he looked at his hammer.

"Well, yours is kinda strange to say the least. You can make waves of water by slamming the hilt of me down on the ground and can use one of my elemental techniques. Yours is called Liquefy. You can turn your body into water and move quickly."

"Huh? Thats strange... Mind if I try it out?" Jordan asked.

"I'm glad you ask, I have no idea what the hell it is. I never used it before... So go ahead."

"OK... Liquefy!" Jordan shouted before his whole body turned into a puddle of water and he started to flow across the ground really fast. Just to annoy him, he turned himself into a wave and washed over Kimani. He laughed as he turned back into a solid state.

"Oh great... Not only can Jordan suffocate me in his flab... but he can drown me as well..." Kimani deadpanned as he took his soaked jacket off and wringed it out. He then took a fireball and held it near his jacket and quickly dried it. Jordan patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax. I wouldn't drown you... I would suffocate you though.." He muttered that last part fast. Kimani heard him though and snapped his head in his direction.

"Before they get into an argument, what are mines?" Austin asked.

"Sure Auzzy! You can make vines appear from the ground and make them ensnare your foes." Ivory said while "Auzzy" sweatdropped.

"And for your special elemental ability, yours is called Toxic Mist. As the name implys, you can create a cloud or mist of poison where you are," Venom told him but he noticed that Austin had glanced over to his friends, who were still arguing at the moment, "Oh yeah... Dont worry about affecting your friends, their Wii-Motes protect them from your ability."

"OK. Thats good. Because I'm more than certain Kimani, Jordan and Dylan wouldn't appreciate me poisoning them."

"Proceeding with tutorial. Master Dylan, like Luigi, you can fire Lighting Bolts from your hands and can use the technique known as Quicken. By stimulating the atoms inside some one, you can make someone faster for a short time." Alpha instructed. Dylan nodded as he held his hand out and fired a Lighting Bolt for practice into the air.

"And now for the Smash Shards." Kimani said as he gave everyone a Shard and they smashed it on their chest. They felt a burst of power flow through them.

"Ah! Now this is a good one! Kimani, say hello to your new passive called Super Guard. With this passive, If you block at just the right time, you can counter the person that attacked you by quickly hitting them with a three hit combo. The great thing about this passive is that you will take absolutely no damage during this. This also works with ranged attacks as well but you can shoot a quick Focus Blast or Fire Ball." I told him.

"Meh, I cant really complain. That should come in handy." Kimani said.

"OK, Jordan. Yours is a passive too. You got the ability known as Stand Strong. Every now and then, when you are attacked, the person that attacked you will stagger back and do half damage. Also your harder to stagger." Typhoon said next. Jordan nodded and accidentally slammed Typhoon on the ground, sending a wave at Kimani. Kimani yelped and blocked at the last moment, triggering his Super Guard and making him fling a Fire Ball at Jordan. Jordan sidestepped it and shot Kimani a hateful stare, making Kimani sweatdrop.

"Well... it works..." Kimani sheepishly said, making Jordan groan in response.

"Austin, yours is a passive called Retreat. When you block, you can quickly jump back a fair distance in order to give you some breathing space." Ebony informed. Austin gave an OK sign in response.

"Master Dylan, your Copycat ability has been upgraded so you can now use their second special attack." Alpha told him.

"FINALLY! I always felt like Kirby since I could only use their main one..." Dylan sighed as he flashed a smile. Diddy and DK had walked over and started nudging Kimani.

"Huh? What?" Kimani said as he almost fell over when DK nudged him a bit too hard. DK ook-ed something, making Kimani gain a question mark over his head.

"Hes asking if he can leave yet." I told him. Kimani made a understanding noise before he asked me if Master was with us yet.

"Just arrived. Glad to see you guys are still alive." Master said out of nowhere.

"Yoshi, you-a ok?" Luigi asked, making the Dino nod his head.

"Well, we can teleport you guys back to the Manor if your ready."

"Of course! And Master, get Mario prepared. I think I need medical assistance.." Kimani muttered as he glanced at his shoulder that dawned the dark spot. Master understood and told Mario to go to the clinic and make the preparations then told us to get together. The group bunched together just as a circle of light appeared around us. Before anyone could comment on it, they were whisked away.


DEAR...GOD... *sighs* I'm sorry for the long wait. School and these college applications have been sucking up my spare time... Either way, I completed this chapter and will see you guys next time!
