Hoi Hoi Hoi, NyanToDaMax here, and welcome to the very last chapter of SMIRBAS! I've really loved writing this Fanfic, but sadly, all good things must come to an end eventually. Remember that I refer to male Robin as "Robin" and female Robin as "Reflet". This is reversed with the Corrins. Now that that's out of the way, I must warn you: SOME CONTENT IN THIS CHAPTER IS DISTURBING AND/OR CREEPY. Okay, you've been informed and warned. Let's get on with the story!
"Pi, do you think that Smash Mansion is a bit… dysfunctional?" I ask. Pi, Nayi, and I are relaxing in the garden after breaking up an argument between Little Mac and Captain Falcon for the third time today.
Nayi, who is sitting on the grass near me, is happily singing to herself as she watches a butterfly flutter around. I am picking some strawberries to make into a sorbet later. Pi, who is reading a book on a hammock, looks up.
"No duh. Everyone is from different eras… or worships different gods or goddesses… or has misconceptions about one another… or… or… or they just hate each other." Pi rants, angrily closing her book with a snap. Robin, who is reading on a bench nearby, looks up.
"Have you considered trying that with one hand instead of two, Pi? It makes you look cooler." he jokes. Nayi bursts into laughter and claps her hands.
"In all seriousness though, when that fight broke out in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, Master ended up making everyone clean the mansion top to bottom… geez. I think everyone is just insane." Pi sighs.
"Hey!" Robin, Nayi, and I yell. Pi puts her hands in the air in mock surrender. I roll my eyes and pick up the basket of strawberries.
"Pi, Nayi, wanna go make this sorbet for dessert?" Nayi springs up immediately, and Pi hops off her hammock.
"Might as well. Let's cast a spell over them too, so no one can eat them until dinner." Pi sighs. I blink, confused.
"Is that a thing?" I ask. Pi laughed sarcastically.
"No, I'm just saying that if we make it now Ike or Toon or practically anyone else might eat them." Pi explains. Nayi nods vigorously in agreement.
"Okay, fine. I'll just store these then~" Nayi suddenly gasps and points down the hall.
"Candy bars- what's that?!" I look down the hall and scream. A girl with black hair covering her face and wearing a white nightgown was standing at the end of the hallway. I hear someone giggle.
I scream again and throw the basket of strawberries in the air.
"RUN!" And Pi, Nayi, and I fled screaming at the top of our lungs.
"Hah! Too easy!" Toon Link laughed, taking off his wig. He picked up the basket and collected the scattered strawberries, chortling.
"Scaredy cats! Alright, Team Ghost! Ready for phase two?" Toon asked, tapping his earpiece to activate it. There was static for a second, and then-
"Team Ghost, how aptly named." Popo said sarcastically. Nana cut in.
"How do you even know that word?"
"Reflet was using that word earlier. I think it means 'appropriately' so I used it!"
"Poyo!" Kirby cried. Toon sighed and quickly cycled to another channel. Ness's voice was audible on the other end.
"I swear Toon is gonna get us all in trouble-"
"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Toon yelled angrily. He heard a yelp on the other end from several people.
"We can hear you without yelling, Toon." Lucas sighs. Toon didn't hear anything from Villager, but that was to be expected.
"Look, Team Special. We've got our next targets coming down the east end hall. Team Ghost will rendezvous with you on the East Staircase. Be ready!" Toon ordered. He heard some sighs.
"Yes, Commander Toon." Ness said sarcastically. Toon beamed with pride and popped a strawberry into his mouth. This was going to be his best prank yet!
"So what do you think, Zeldie?" Peach asked enthusiastically, twirling around. She was wearing a new apron that she had sewed herself. Zelda clasped her hands together in delight.
"So cute! Peachie, you're so good at sewing! Can you make me one as well?" Zelda squealed. Peach beamed with happiness.
"Even better! I can show you how to make one!" Peach cried. Then she grabbed Lucina by the arm.
"Lucina, you should try it too! An apron would look lovely on you!" Peach cried. Lucina sighed in defeat.
"Well there's no choice if you want me to…" Lucina groaned. Palutena sweatdropped.
"Peach, you shouldn't harass Lucina into doing things she doesn't want to." she sighed. Suddenly all the lights in the hallway went out.
"Hey, what's going on?!" Palutena cried. Peach and Zelda screamed and hugged one another. Lucina pulled out her sword.
"Palutena, could you-"
"Already on it!" Palutena cried, glowing. But…
"Why is my light not penetrating the darkness?!" Palutena cried. Then the girls heard a sound from the darkness.
"You did this…" Peach, Zelda, and Lucina screamed as a cold wind blew around them. Palutena stood her ground and readied an attack.
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" she cried. Only the sound of howling wind for a second. And then, a horrible face dripping blood emerged from the darkness.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" The girls screamed and ran the other way, stumbling through the dark hall.
"Nice one, Kirby!" Ness whispered, dispelling the darkness with Lucas. Kirby threw the costume off and nodded. Nana and Popo slid down the banister of the East Staircase.
"Alright then, I suppose we're ready for a few more targets." Nana groaned, holding her own ghost costume. Toon jumped down from the second floor landing.
"Yup we are! Our next targets are in the Lounge. Come on! We've gotta put on a good show for them. They're not easy to scare." Lucas's eyes widened.
"You're not saying… Not the rest of the Fire Emblem crew?!" Lucas cried. Toon smiled evilly.
"Of course the rest of the Fire Emblem crew! Let's go!"
Pi, Nayi, and I run down the hall at breakneck speed, screaming. With my eyes shut tight, I couldn't see where I was going and-
"Hey, we heard screaming! What's-" Pit was cut off as I crash into him. I cry out in surprise. There are similar yelps from Pi and Nayi.
"Ow! Oh, I'm sorry! Pit, are you okay-"
"Don't worry about that! Are you alright?! We heard screaming!" he cries, helping me up. I look around and see Meta Knight, Fox, Pi and Nayi on the floor. Pi gets to her feet, shaking. Nayi sits up and rubs her head. There's a bump forming on her forehead.
"Pit, there was a ghost! We saw it! And it giggled! And- And-" Pit looks confused.
"Wait, a ghost? For real? Are you sure it wasn't just-"
"PIT, IT WAS A GHOST!" I scream, flailing my arms around. Meta Knight stands up and shakes his head.
"I doubt it was a ghost. They aren't real! It might be a mirage or hallucination, to be honest. It is quite warm today-"
"I QUITE DOUBT THAT WE COULD HEAR IT GIGGLE!" Pi yells. Nayi just plopped back down on the floor again.
"...Raspberries… I wanna go back to our room now…" Nayi sighs weakly. Fox rolls his eyes.
"Are you sure you got enough sleep last night?" Pit asked. I nod, still shaking. Suddenly, we hear a high-pitched scream from the Lounge.
"I swear, Cloud gets mouthier every time he beats me!" Kamui griped. The Fire Emblem Crew was relaxing in the lounge after a game. Reflet looked up from her book.
"Do you think rolling all the time was going to help? I think not." Reflet sighed. Marth nodded in agreement.
"Enough rolling and Cloud was bound to predict it. How many times has he kicked your butt this week? Five times?" Marth mused. Kamui growled angrily and turned into a dragon, splashing Marth with water.
"Geez, Kamui, chill." Roy sighed, squeezing water out of his hair. Marth shook the wet hair out of his face.
"Hey guys, is it just me or did it get colder all of a sudden?" Ike asked. Reflet shivered.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm not sure that it-" Reflet was cut off when a freezing wind suddenly blew her tome out of her hand.
"Hey! Who did that?!" Reflet cried. Corrin drew her sword.
"Something's up…" she growled. Then the lights went out.
"Hey!" Ike cried angrily. Marth looked up at the balcony and squinted.
"Guys, do you see something up th-" Marth froze. Roy followed Marth's gaze.
"Marth, there's nothing up there." Marth drew his sword.
"It disappeared!"
"Hold on, I'll turn on the light." Reflet said, taking her fire tome. She conjured up a small ball of flame, but another strong gust of wind blew it out.
"STOP THAT!" Reflet yelled angrily. Roy suddenly started to shake.
"Guys… I just felt… someone watching us…" he gasped. Then they heard a voice.
"I… Am… Here…" Ike screamed and immediately slashed his sword at thin air.
"WHO'S THERE!? W-WE'LL FIGHT YOU!" he cried. Roy shook his head.
"Not 'we'll'. I'm out of here!" Roy cried, running towards the foyer. He didn't get far though, as suddenly he screamed in terror and was thrown back into the lounge, into the fireplace.
"Roy! What happened?!" Kamui cried. Roy sat up and brushed the soot off, shaking with terror.
"Something grabbed me! And then it threw me!" Roy cried. Reflet gasped and picked up her Thunder Tome from the ground. She charged it up and readied it.
"Okay, Roy, on three, light up the room with your attack." Reflet ordered. Roy nodded vigorously and charged up his attack. The others readied their weapons, staring through the darkness of the room.
"One, Two, THREE!" Reflet cried. Roy brought down his sword with a cry, and the room lit up from the light of his inferno. From the brief light it brought, Reflet could see thousands of dolls. They were hung on red strings, dangling from the ceiling by their necks.
"THORON!" Reflet yelled in panic, firing it randomly. The spell hit one of the ropes, and the doll fell to the ground. Ike screamed in terror; the doll had landed on his head.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Ike's scream, which was scarier than the actual situation, caused the rest of the crew to scream in terror.
Then the lights came back on.
There were no dolls in sight.
"High five!" Toon whisper-cried, high fiving Ness. Villager rolled his eyes and picked up one of the dolls. It shrank into a leaf and he put it in his pocket.
"God, that was so scary… and if Ness hadn't managed to throw Roy back we would have been discovered… and if the Invisibility Shroud on Kirby when he went to get the doll off of Ike had malfunctioned..." Lucas muttered. Kirby nodded, floating down with the remainder of the red strings.
"That was super scary. I almost got hit by Roy's attack!" Nana gasped. She dropped down from the ceiling with Popo.
"In addition to that, we had to set them all up the second the lights went out. Toon, your prank is-" Toon shushed Popo and smiled evilly.
"Just get ready. According to my sources, Mario, Luigi, and Bowser should be returning from a game of tennis just about now. Let's set up a niiiicce greeting for them!" Toon laughed evilly. Villager shook his head disapprovingly.
"You're right. He does sound more like Ganondorf when he does that." Lucas groaned.
"Mario, I swear you're cheating." Bowser growled angrily. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser were just returning to the mansion. Luigi looked accusingly at Bowser,
"Oh yeah? And what about-a setting the ball on fire?! Is that-a not cheating?!" Luigi cried. Mario nodded in agreement.
"It's-a true, Bowser. We don't cheat, you're the-a one who set the ball on-a fire." Mario pointed out. Bowser growled and seriously considered burning a few hairs off of Mario's head.
"At any rate, I still think-" Bowser was cut off as a chair got thrown into a wall right next to his head. There was a yelp from Luigi as he cowered in an attempt to avoid the flying pieces.
"W-what-a was that all about?!" Luigi cried, his voice shaking. Mario looked at the hallway to left, where the chair had come from.
"It doesn't sound like there's anyone fighting…" Bowser grunted. Mario peeked into the hallway and nodded.
"No one-a there. I wonder what-a-" Mario suddenly jumped back as the lights in the hallway shut off.
"Uh… M-Mariooooo!" Luigi cried. The lights in the entrance hall were shutting off one by one, slowly getting close to the group of three. Mario quickly used a spare fire flower.
"Come on-a, Luigi! You've-a dealt with ghosts quite a lot!" Mario cried. Luigi cowered.
"But-a this is-" Luigi was cut off as the last light, right above them, flickered and went out. Then there was a giggle somewhere in the hall.
Luigi screamed in terror. Even Mario gasped in surprise. Only Bowser remained unfazed. He took a deep breath and breathed fire down the hall. It illuminated the hallway. And it also illuminated a girl standing at the end of the hallway.
Bowser then grunted in surprise. Mario spoke up bravely.
"Who-a are you?! Why are-a you here?" Mario cried. The girl did not answer. The hall was dark again. And then a voice.
"Yooooou…" Luigi screamed in terror and bolted. Mario and Bowser followed without hesitation. Behind them, the lightbulbs shattered.
"Nice job!" Toon called as Kirby floated down. Toon took off his wig and nodded to Ness and Lucas, who disconnected the power panel.
"My voice is all sore now…" Nana complained as the Invisibility Shroud wore off. Lucas snapped his fingers, and magical lights filled the hall.
"All in the name of the prank everyone! Hey, wanna take a break and eat some strawberries?" Toon asked, holding up the basket of strawberries he had stolen from us.
"Where the heck did you get these?" Ness asked, popping one in his mouth. Toon smiled evilly.
"I stole them from Nyan." he said, chomping down on another one. Ness choked on the strawberry and started coughing. Lucas slapped him on the back.
"TOON! You stole these?!" Ness coughed. Toon rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, so?" Toon asked. Nana shook her head in disappointment.
"Toon, I get that you want to pull the best prank ever, but that's just thievery!" Nana scolded. Popo nodded in agreement. Toon sighed.
"Alright. If you don't want a strawberry you don't-" Toon was cut off when the entire basket was whipped out of his hands by Kirby sucking all of the strawberries in. Kirby chewed for a second and then spit a slimy basket out.
"Kirby!" Toon yelled angrily.
"Wh-what was that?!" I cry. I'm shaking head to toe, and Nayi just plops back down on the ground in a dead faint.
"It came from the lounge. Let us investigate." Meta Knight says. I vigorously shake my head.
"NONONONONO! I just wanna run out of here right now, this place is haunted, we need to get out of here we can't just stay in here when a dang ghost is wandering around we should be getting the heck out of here-" I take a deep breath and promptly black out.
"LET ALL THE SMASHERS GATHER IN THE DINING ROOM RIGHT NOW!" The intercom blares. I blink as my fuzzy vision clears. I'm lying in the infirmary, which I suppose is to be expected.
I sit up and dash out of the room, not wanting to stay in one place for too long. I screech to a stop in the dining room entrance and take my seat between Pi and Nayi. They're both looking anxious.
"How long was I out?" I whisper to Pi. Pi shrugs meekly
"Oh, the rest of the day. It's morning now." Pi whispers back. I facepalm.
"Well, hamburgers, I did faint for the rest of the day as well, if it makes you feel better." Nayi mutters to me. I shake my head ruefully.
"Okay, everyone, we're dealing with a serious crisis on our hands." Master Hand explained. The smashers have their full attention trained on him. That's a first. Several Smashers are shaking, others look grim and determined.
"I have received multiple reports that a ghost is haunting us around the mansion-" Master Hand broke off as Toon raised his hand.
"Master Hand, if a ghost is haunting the place, shouldn't we move out?" Toon asks. Several Smashers nod their heads in agreement. Master Hand growls.
"We have resided in this mansion for a long time, Toon Link. We don't even know why a ghost is haunting it in the first place. For all we know, it could just be a prank." He explains.
Is it just me, or did Toon flinch when he heard that? I think. Master Hand sighs.
"At any rate, we have to figure out-" Master Hand cut off when the cup of hot coffee sitting on the table flew up and hit him in the face.
Several Smashers screamed. Others jumped up and drew their weapons. Master Hand just floated there, stunned.
"Okay, you know what? I still think…. We should approach this… calmly." Master Hand growls, trying to keep his anger under control. I sigh and plop my head down on the table, hands clenched in my lap. Suddenly, I feel something in my hand.
I look at it, head still down, and see that it's a thin, transparent string. I experimentally give it a tug.
"EEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Wii Fit trainer cries as suddenly, her protein bar flies out of her hand and hits Olimar's helmet. I look up in confusion. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Toon staring at Ness angrily. Strange.
"Okay, Master Hand, this is really starting to creep me out! Just the other day I saw my shampoo bottle move by itself!" Palutena spoke.
"Also, my gun is missing and I found it the other day covered in ketchup! And I'm only sixty-seven percent sure that it was ketchup!" Samus cried. I blink, then use my hands to feel under the table again. I grasp another string and tug it.
This time, the entire tablecloth is ripped from underneath the table, scattering food and items that were laid on it. Many of the Smashers scream. I look at Toon Link again. He's looking just as shocked as them. Something clicks in my head.
"Master Hand?" I raise my hand. Master Hand nods for me to talk. I look directly at Toon Link and hold up the string I just pulled.
"Toon, can you tell me what this string is doing under the table, by perchance?" I ask. Toon looks panicked.
"What are you talking about?!" He says, a little too loudly. I hold up another string.
"I apologize in advance for this." I say, and give it a tug. Immediately, all the lights go out. There's silence in the room as the lights flicker back on. Toon looks really panicked now, glancing at Ness, Nana, Popo, and Kirby in turn. Lucas squeezes his eyes shut.
"THAT'S IT, TOON!" He yells, slamming his hands down on the table. Everyone is shocked. Lucas has hardly ever raised his voice.
"I'm sick of you blackmailing us to help you on your so-called 'best prank ever'! Reveal our secrets, I don't care! Tricking the entire mansion into thinking it's haunted is crazy! And only to get caught?!" Toon looks shocked. He steps backwards, and then makes a break for it.
"After him!" Ike yells. I drop the string and rush after him. I point my sister after him, while I round a corner into the kitchen. Past the kitchen, into the main hall, and into the east wing. I hear others running behind me, coming to the same conclusion as I.
I screech to a stop in the lounge, and Toon gasps and manages to not crash into me. He's surrounded. Master Hand swoops in on him.
"Toon Link, would you like to tell me what all this 'ghost' stuff is about?" Master says dangerously. Toon sweatdrops.
"Well, it's nice to know that it was all just a prank in the end." I sigh. Pi and Nayi murmur in agreement. We can still hear Toon scrubbing away to the mansion halls with a toothbrush. Master Hand had made him clean the entire mansion that way. Including the toilets.
"I guess after all the excitement, Toon still is just being Toon. He's still just a kid, after all." Pi reasons. Nayi shakes her head.
"At any rate, it's getting late. We should slee-" Nayi is cut off by a huge crash from upstairs. Sounds of a wall crashing down. Then yelling. Then a heck ton of other commotion. I faceplam.
"From the sounds I am hearing, Olimar or Samus was working on something which exploded, blowing up a wall, causing someone to get angry." I groan. Looks like we aren't really going to get much sleep tonight. Pi shrugs.
"Hey, you know what? In the end, you can't deny it. Smash Mansion in really bad at sleeping."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH AT LAST AN ERA IS OVER! I'm so glad I got to write such an amazing story! It was a lot of fun to write this, even when I was just a terrible writer. At any rate, I'd like to thank you all for coming on the journey with me! My next project is going to be a collab SYOT with my sister, American-Pi!
Chapter Question: What secrets do you think Toon was using to blackmail the others?
So thank you all so so much for reading, and me, NyanToDaMax145, will see you guys next time! BOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII! 3
