Anime: New chapter of Judgebenders! This time we're doing Young Link at Sky's request!
Rebekah: Who's he?
Kana: If only you knew about gaming. Well, you'll find out.
Rebekah: Really? Anime does not own Super Smash Brothers but she does own me and Kana.
-A Friend-
He's been popular for a long time but now . . . not so much. Why? All of a sudden he's a loser? He never realized it until now but he was completely oblivious to how he was treating people. He realized he was a pretty big jerk. But, at least his best friend was in the same situation and has realized about back then too, or else he wouldn't have anyone to hang out with. Starting now he'll try to change and be a better person!
This person's name is Jaku. Jaku is a middle schooler up in northern California. But now it's June and he's been changing since the first day of middle school, he was changing into a better person. Jaku and his friend were getting friendlier by each day.

"Rebekah! Why are you starting to tear up," Raphael asked. It was after school and everyone was doing homework, except Rebekah. She finished early and decided to mess with the Master Computer.
"I'm surfing the Person Viewer and this guy's story is pretty sad but happy at the same time," Rebekah answered with a tissue in her hand. Let me explain. The Person Viewer is a program on the Master Computer that lets you watch a person's life so far and give you data on them. Master Hand uses it to see a person and check if they might be a Smasher. They can't be stalkers you know. It's also like a T.V to some Smashers.
"IS THAT?" Master Hand raced toward the T.V. sized computer, shoving Rebekah. "IT IS!"
"Master Hand, what was that for," Rebekah yelled.
"I've found the next Smasher!"
"What, you mean that guy's a Smasher," Yuri question.
"Yes! This person, Jaku, is Young Link," Master Hand boomed.
"Master Hand, Young Link was removed from the roster in the third tournament," ROB stated.
"Yes, I know but we need to get as much help as we can," Master Hand replied.
"He was mean to me sometimes, though," Kirby muttered.
Master Hand floated over to the pink blob and patted his head with his . . . hand, finger? "Don't worry I'm sure he won't be mean to you."
"If you say so."

Jaku woke up that with the strangest dream in his mind; he was in a stupid green outfit hacking away at monsters with a sword. Dreams are weird.
He should probably get to school. Jaku had brushed his teeth, eaten breakfast, gotten dressed, and started his usual walk. He walked in silence until he heard someone call his name. He turned his head and saw it was his best friend.
"Ryo!"
"Oi! Jaku! Can I come to your house sometime," Ryo the redhead asked.
"Yeah! Anytime! You know how much free time I have," Jaku replied.
"Yes!"
The two walked the rest of the way to school talking. Since kindergarten 'til now, they've been friends. Now they're even changing together!
"Do you think something special will ever happen to us," Ryo asked with his hands on his head.
"Who knows anything is possible," Jaku said.
When they entered the classroom they had a new classmate and her name was Rebekah. She seemed nice. Also, when they got to their other classes they had three more new kids in their grade. Jaku and Ryo also heard that there were two more kids in the upper grades. Yeesh! What's with all the new kids?
"So, think we should welcome them," Ryo asked Jaku.
"I don't know. I mean seeing our rep right now they'd be pretty much labeled for life but we should at least tell them our name," Jaku answered.
"Yeah, I guess. Wonder when our reputation will improve," Ryo asked.
-A Friend-
This was a class or two before Jaku's and Ryo's conversation.
"Hey, is that him," Pit whispered to Kana. It was history class and now they were all reading except Pit and Kana. Pit was pointing towards the blond kid in the back.
"Pretty sure," Kana answered. "But I don't think we should be talking about this now."
"I guess," Raphael replied. "Although, should we have brought Kirby because I don't know if Kirbs is capable of middle school. Just look at him!"
They looked over and saw Kirby's human form (pretty much he's a kid with pink hair) doodling in his text book. Kana scratched her neck and answered, "Yeeaaah, maybe that wasn't a good idea. Although At least we know ROB's having a good time."
-A Friend-
There they were at lunch, sitting alone. Jaku and Ryo had improved their personality over the year but still the other kids thought of them as jerks. They had already met the new kids at least but people probably told them about how they were back then already.
"Hey! Can we sit with you guys," Raphael said to them. They were surprised that all the new kids were going to sit with them. While the others learned from Kirby's experience that these guys were either jerks or annoying.
"You're asking if you could sit with us," Jaku asked. The Smasher gang thought that he was asking that to say that he was too cool or something. But then he said, "Are you sure because you've heard of our bad reputation right? You'd be thought as a jerk, too."
"We did but right now you don't seem bad if you're considerate towards us," Rebekah said.
"Well, if you want to, just warning you again though, you'll be labeled immediately," Ryo said. The two honestly thought that the new kids were either joking or being dared.
"Who cares? You're really nice. Plus, you look lonely," Kana said to them as they sat down. That statement really touched the redhead and blonde. No one has ever been that considerate towards them in a long time.
"Um, sure, but you have one last chance. Are you sure," Jaku said looking at the staring, gossiping people.
"We are sure we want to sit with you," ROB or 'Robert' said.
They gang started chatting but Yuri was talking to Kirby. "Are you sure Young Link was mean to you?"
"Yeah, but I don't remember him like this back then," Kirby whispered, eating his pile of food. "He used to be a prankster and never took anybody all that seriously."
"Wonder why he's changed then," Marth wondered.
-A Friend-
"That was awesome," Kana said. She had been getting along great with Ryo and Jaku. "I don't know why you don't like Young, Kirby. He's pretty fun."
"I think he changed or something because I remember that he got kicked out because he was mean," Kirby answered.
"Well, I can't wait for tomorrow and if you notice this is the first time we haven't been attacked on the first day we talk to or before a Smasher," Rebekah pointed out.
"That is correct and can be put on as a positive note," ROB replied.
"I suppose," Yuri said coming in with a cup of water.
"I just hope that we don't have to stay in that school for too long because we'd be missing assignments and stuff at our real school," Raphael said while channel surfing.
"You just ruined the fun," Kana replied. Raphael just chuckled. The rest of the day went by as it usually would.
-A Friend-
"Hey Jaku and Ryo," Raphael said waving.
"Hey, it's you guys," Jaku greeted surprised.
"Yeah, what's got you surprised," Yuri asked.
"I though you would avoid us," Ryo answered.
"You're still on that? You guys are nice in my opinion," Rebekah replied.
"Okay, okay. It's just that if you hang out with us your reputation is ruined," Jaku reminded.
"We don't care what they think as long as we're living happy," Kana said.
"We won't be here permanently anyway," Robert muttered.
"What was that," Jaku asked.
"Nothing, nothing," Rebekah said as she elbowed ROB. She whispered to Robert, "For a robot you're pretty stupid."
"Oh, alright," Jaku said obliviously.
-A Friend-
The Smashers were outside of school waiting for Jaku and Ryo. But then they noticed the Shadow Bugs fall from a darker looking Halberd but to the Smashers they knew it was a replica. They knew that they couldn't just change outfits in front of people with a magical process like that so ROB signaled them to a nearby alleyway. They changed and ran out into battle.
-A Friend-
The two were walking through the hall, excited that they have friends since so long. They went through the door when they saw their long awaited new friends battling for their lives. The two were in shock, seeing the people their age, a robot, and a strange pink creature fighting like pros.
"What are we supposed to do, Jaku," Ryo asked.
"We're their friends we have to do something," Jaku said.
"But we have no chance in fighting those things," Ryo countered.
Jaku cursed under his breath in annoyance. He couldn't just stand around like a stupid doll! "That's it! I'm going to help them!"
Ryo had tried to grab Jaku but he missed by a second. Jaku started punching and kicking as much as he can. Jaku got hit back but he had to do this. If there's one thing Jaku learned throughout this school year it is that you can never take friends for granted. They are a person's treasure.
"You have finally learned Young Link."
Jaku's memories were slowly returning. "Master Hand . . .?"
"It is time you become a Smasher once again."
"I . . . I remember!"
"Young! Remember your past life! You'll get your equipment!" Remember? Okay. He remembered all the times he saved Hyrule but he didn't transform!
"Why is it not working," Jaku yelled in frustration.
"Young, you must remember what you learned."
"What I learned?"
"You have changed since you entered the tournament. How have you changed? What have you learned that changed you?"
"What did change me," Jaku questioned himself. He didn't care how his friends were treated back then but now he considers them as blessing. He realized this because he lost everything in his social life except his . . . friend. Jaku didn't realize it but he had gotten his old outfit back. He was Young Link once more!
"Let's go!"
Young had started ripping and slicing his way through the crowd of Primids, Glires, and anything else that's in the Army. Soon they were all reduced to Shadow Bugs.
"Jaku! You were awesome! Although what's with the Young Link outfit," Ryo said as he came over.
"Um, about that," Young replied. He started whispering stuff in Ryo's ear. Ryo's eyes kept getting wider and wider through young's whispers.
When he finished Ryo said, "WHOAH! My best friend's Young Link!" Pit was making a portal in the background.
"Shut up about that," Jaku yelled. He then heard a car tires screech behind him and saw his parents.
"Mom . . . Dad?" They came over, his mother holding a suitcase in her hand and his dad's eyes filled with tears.
"We came to say goodbye," his mother said.
"How did you know I was leaving," Young asked.
"There was a situation in southern California that was just like this. (*cough* Rebekah*cough*) We never thought that you would be one of them but if so we're ready," his dad answered.
"Here's your bag," his mother said.
"Thanks . . . well, I guess I'll be going now," Jaku said as he started walking towards the portal.
"Wait!" Young stopped. His mother had said, "There's one more thing I must tell you. You . . ."
"What, Mom," Young asked softly.
"You're adopted," his father finished. The statement had shocked him.
". . . what?"
"You were an orphan back when you were a baby. You had two brothers but you we only adopted you," his mother said.
"Why didn't you tell ever me?"
"We didn't want you to think that we didn't love you just because you weren't related to us by blood," his mother said. "We love you with all our hearts."
Young sniffed and wiped his nose. He said, "You know, if you told me a long time ago then it would mean you love me more."
"We're sorry," his parents said in unison.
"It's okay. I know that you didn't want to hurt my feelings or to change my feelings toward you," Young said.
"Well, I suppose it is time to say goodbye," his father said.
"Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Dad," Jaku said.
"Goodbye, Jaku," his mother said.
"Bye, son," his father said.
"Hey! Don't forget about me," Ryo said. Jaku chuckled.
"I would never. Bye, Ryo. Think you could survive in school without me," Jaku asked.
"It'll be hard but I'll try. Bye, man."
The others went through the portal. Jaku was the last one to go through.

"Oh my god! It has been so long since I've even laid foot in Smash Mansion," Young Link said. He was lying on the couch, excited that he's a Smasher again.
"Yeah, but Young Link why are you even here? I thought you got kicked out of the tournament and for bad behavior for that matter," Rebekah asked.
"Actually . . . I don't really know myself," Young said. "Oh, yeah! You know how you told me to think about my past. I didn't get my stuff by thinking about that. I got my stuff by thinking about how I changed compared to the tournament."
"Really," Raphael asked.
"Yeah."
"May we ask for the reason Master Hand," ROB asked. Ever since school ROB has been talking more normal because he learned that the way he speaks confuses normal people.
"As Kirby knows, I had kicked you out because of your behavior. I also kicked you out so that you will learn what made you act like that how you should change. But, you died too early to learn that. I reincarnated you so that you would finally learn that you took friends for granted and that you should value your friends," Master Hand told him.
"I did learn that, huh? Oh, and Master Hand is that also why you kicked out a few others that were in the third tournament?"
"Yes. The five of you needed to learn an important life lesson," Master Hand answered.
"Well, it was definitely important," Young said. "It changed me a lot. Thanks!"
"You are very welcome."
"YO YO YO! IT'S ELF BOY!"
*GONG*
"Made it in time," Kana said with the frying pan. She just came in at the lucky moment. Kana walked over and placed the frying pan down. When all of a sudden . . .
"YOEZ BROZ AND SISES! I HAZ A LIL NAP AND NOW I FELL ALL BETTER," Crazy yelled as he got up.
"SHIT! HE'S STARTING TO GET IMMUNE," Kana yelled. They all started running.
-A Friend-
