Chapter Eleven: Science is Cool (it really is)

"Count me out."

"Me too."

"Me three."

The six little kids shook their heads simultaneously at Master Hand. The hand appeared to produce more wrinkles as he stared hopelessly at the little Smashers. He had announced to the Smashers that the day's plan was to spend the day in the science museum, maybe actually learn something education-wise. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the little Smashers wouldn't tolerate going somewhere to learn. I mean, who would?

"Everyone else is going," Master Hand urged.

"But I hate science!" Ness complained.

"It's my least favorite subject," Nana added. The others murmured in agreement.

Master Hand, as a last resort (as much as he knew he'd dread it), told them, "If you go, you can ride on me and Crazy Hand for a couple hours."

The kids perked up. They began whispering to each other. "That'd be pretty fun," Lucas said.

"Yea, I wonder how different it'll be than a horse," Toon wondered. (Master Hand bristled at that. I'm NOT a filthy horse, he thought.)

"Riding on floating hands must be epic!" Diddy mused.

"It'll be an exciting story to tell, you know, like 'I rode a detached hand,'" Popo snickered.

"Okay! We'll go!" the six sang together. Master Hand was relieved, but at the same time, dreading it.


"This is awesome!"

"Cool!"

"Look at that grand staircase!"

All the Smashers were cooing over the gigantic science museum of Smashville. Even Ganondorf, Wolf, Bowser, and Wario were awed by the display in front of them.

"Hmph. Almost as big as my castle, but not quite," Bowser muttered displeasingly.

"Remember, Smashers, this is a museum, so no running, and no shouting—"

"'Kay, we got it," someone said and that cued everyone to scatter in several random directions. Master Hand was reminded of the day at the carnival.

He turned to Crazy. "Brother, I have some unfortunate news to tell you regarding the little Smashers…."


"I'm still the better pilot than you," Fox sneered to Falco.

"No one proved that!" he glared at each other, narrowing their eyes. "

Well, prove to me that you're better at driving," Fox challenged.

"Oh, you're so on," Falco accepted. Then he looked around. "Too bad, Fox, but it seems there are no bumper cars available today," he told the anthropomorphic fox.

Fox smirked, and pointed up over their heads. Falco peered in that direction, and stifled a gasp when he saw a suspending model plane attached to the ceiling. Sadly, competitiveness was stronger than common sense and it had the two Star Fox members scrambling up, racing to see who could arrive in the plane first.

Falco dashed up the left staircase while Fox went up the right. On opposite sides of the plane, the two, at the same time, jetted horizontally to the plane, Falco using Falco Phantasm and Fox using Fox Illusion. They reached the plane together, claiming they got in there first.

"I got here first!" Fox insisted, trying to shove Falco out the plane.

"No, I did!" Falco countered, returning with his own childish push. The plane teetered precariously in the air.

Below, Olimar spotted a bird tail and a fox tail hanging out from each side of the plane. Well, gotta get outta here quick, he thought. The Hocotatian promptly scampered off, potentially confirming the death of the two Star Fox members.

"Oh, HO! So this is a wrestling match now, isn't it?" Fox scoffed, jamming an elbow into Falco's chest.

"Guess so, unless someone obediently accepts their defeat with good sportsmanship and approves that I'm the better pilot!" Falco responded, shoving his shoulder into Fox's face.

"And that someone is you!" Fox sneered, kneeing Falco in the crotch. The plane rocked even more.

"That's it," Falco growled and pulled out his blaster. Fox did the same. And with one simultaneous shot, the plane gave out.

Before they knew it, Fox and Falco were plummeting down, screaming their throats out and clinging onto each other as if the other wasn't sharing the same fate and could save theirselves.

"I'm sorry, buddy! You're much a better pilot than me!" Falco sobbed to Fox.

"No, no! I totally acknowledge your talented flying skills as dominant over mine!" Fox sniveled back.

"Let me rest in peace with the best pilot legend!" Falco serenaded woefully.

"You took the words right out of my mouth!" Fox blubbered.

The two hugged each other tight and expected the impact. The plane did smash into something, knocking the air out of both of them, but to their upmost surprise, they weren't dead.

"Am I in heaven?" Falco coughed.

Fox groaned in return, "Guess we are."

"Nope, you're not," a third anonymous voice said.

"Huh?" Fox and Falco poked their heads out of the window to see the plane still a mere five feet off the ground. Then it was set gently onto the ground, the Star Fox members tumbling out. They sprang onto their feet and searched for their savior…and came face to face to Little Mac.

"LITTLE MAC?" they gasped.

The boxer flashed a blinding, Colgate smile. He flexed his bulging biceps and simply explained, "Thought I should work out at the science museum today. Lots of heavy-weighted things. You guys sure challenged me with that toppling plane."

Little Mac glanced at the gaping Fox and Falco, and then noticed a bruise on both of their heads. The boxer turned around for a second and called, "Dr. Mario! You have two more patients!"

A Mario duplicate came jogging out of nowhere with a head mirror instead of a red cap, white coat instead of a red shirt, and white pants in place of blue overalls. The only same clothing with Mario was the white gloves and shoes. He was carrying a clipboard with a stethoscope wrapped around his neck.

"Dr. Mario!" Fox gasped, surprised even more.

"Mario?" Falco wondered aloud.

The doctor asked Little Mac, "Would you please be kind enough to help me carry these injured ones to the infirmary?"

Little Mac cracked his knuckles and nodded. He hauled Falco up like a dumbbell, as Dr. Mario dragged Fox away, the Star Fox members frozen solid with disbelief.

"Pick up your burdensome feet, you indolent dog!" Dr. Mario grunted while lugging Fox across the ground. Normally, the anthropomorphic fox would've retaliated with a face-punching name of his own, but instead, he tamely tucked his feet up.


Lucario, Pikachu, and Charizard were milling around the big, optical illusion maze. They were racing on who could get out of the confusing maze first, and the three Pokemon eagerly started at three entrances, and together they plunged into the muddled maze.

Lucario smiled slightly and closed his eyes, trying to sense movement at the end of the maze so he could follow it out. Still with his eyes closed, the Pokemon followed his sense of a living being, guiding himself to the , he couldn't resist that it felt like this presence was a little too…close to be outside the maze. But, he continued, nevertheless, before bumping into that close being.

Lucario opened his eyes, surprised, and drew in a sharp breath when he took in the figure before him.

Pikachu stealthily tailed Charizard from behind. Maybe once Char found his way out, Pikachu could pull Skull Bash and rocket past first out of the maze before the fiery Pokemon. The electric Pokemon continued to crawl behind Charizard, but suddenly, he accidentally tripped over his flaming tail, emitting a distressed "Pika!"

Charizard whipped around and glowered at the Pokemon. Pikachu smiled innocently, and then noticed that the exit of the maze was right in front of them.

Ignoring the other advancing Pokemon, Pikachu pulled Skull Bash and whizzed out the maze, triumphantly singing, "Pikachu!" for winning the race. He rolled around happily before spotting that Lucario had come out first, and that he was in a battle stance across from a similar looking Pokemon in the same posture…Mewtwo?!

Charizard was still stomping his way out, his glare prominent on his face, eager to get revenge for losing to that stocky little Pokemon.

Pikachu was still staring at Mewtwo and Lucario, distracted. Finally, Charizard was towering over him, about to release a long torrent of flames. Right when the fire seeped out of his mouth, a splash of water doused it out, also splashing Pikachu back to his senses.

Alarmed, Charizard looked around and was greeted with another chunk of water to the face.

Shaking his head clear of any more infuriating liquid, the fire Pokemon finally spotted a skinny figure hanging upside down from the skeleton display. It jetted off abruptly, and suddenly appeared in front of Charizard, delivering another watery blow to the nose.

Snuffling, Charizard clawed at that annoying Pokemon and managed to land a blow onto his little, froggy head. Greninja rasped, dazed by the sudden strike onto his head. Glaring, he landed several quick jabs to Charizard.

Meanwhile, Pikachu stared hopelessly at the fighting Pokemon, him sandwiched between the fight. Suddenly, he felt an unexpected electric shock to his back. Whipping around, he saw a small figure rolling on the floor laughing (a.k.a. ROFL), clutching its stomach. P

ikachu gasped when as he saw Pichu get up, pointing at him and continuing to silently laugh.

Enraged, Pikachu pulled Skull Blast to shut the impish Pokemon up. Pichu stopped laughing and countered with an attack on his own.

Soon, all six Pokemon were fighting, Lucario, a Steel-type against the Psychic-type, Mewtwo, Pichu vs. Pikachu, both Electric-types, and Fire-type Charizard against the Water-type, Greninja.

CUE EPIC POKEMON BATTLE.

Needless to say, they were racking up quite a hefty amount of money for reparations.


"I could be ironing my poor cape right now," Marth sighed despairingly.

"Come on, what can get cooler than this?" Ike mused, gawking up at a tall dinosaur skeleton.

"Everything," Marth said flatly, "including ironing my wrinkled cape. I mustn't let anyone see me in this disgrace!"

Ike shrugged. "Well, I see your wrinkled cape," Ike pointed out.

"You don't count."

Ike wasn't sure if that was an insult or not.

"Hey, check this out, your Majesty," Ike sarcastically said, presenting Marth a rusty-looking sword. Marth gazed at it for a longer-than-Ike-thought moment.

"Resembles mine quite a lot," Marth realized.

Ike looked at it and gasped—it did look a lot like Falchion with the red jewel in the middle and gold casing.

"Hey! Thieves! You can't steal my sword!" a voice suddenly was heard.

Marth and Ike whirled around to see a sprinting redhead coming for them. "Mine!" he shrieked and dove for the weapon, snatching it out of Ike's grasp.

He swiveled around and screeched, "This is mine! No one can steal this—Marth?! Ike?!"

"ROY?!" Ike and Marth exclaimed.

They all stared at each other, mouths gaping, before Roy promptly dropped his sword again (exposing it to any real thieves) and launched himself at the prince and mercenary. "HI, GUYS!" Roy sang.

They hugged each other heartily before hearing another voice, female this time, piercing the air. "Roy? Where'd you go running off to?"

The owner of the voice turned the corner and they all gasped. Ike dropped Roy, who he was carrying, and ignoring the pained complaints, pointed a confused finger at the female, then turned to Marth, then looked back at her, then at Marth again, mouth hanging open with no words coming out.

"You have a twin sister?!" Ike finally managed.

Marth shook his head profusely. "No!" the prince and the anonymous girl said.

She's my…descendant...Lucina." Marth clarified.

Lucina waved. "Hey, Ike," she said.

Ike looked as if he was going to faint.

"Lucina! Did you find that rascal?" a third male voice suddenly came.

Lucina waved over to another young man, whose appearance made Marth gasp again and Ike to finally faint. The silvery hair glinted briefly off the overhead museum lights, and he closed a mysterious book that was radiating purple energy.

"Robin," he introduced himself, grinning.


"What would you want to look at?" Link questioned Zelda.

"Hmmm, how about the models of the horses?" Zelda suggested.

"Sure." Link shyly took the princess by the hand to the display of horses.

Zelda reached up to run a hand down a metal muzzle of a handsome stallion. "How's Epona?" Zelda suddenly asked Link.

"My horse?" She's doing well," the Hero replied.

"I miss her," Zelda sighed, stroking the fake horses. "I wish I could become a child and ride a horse again."

"Yeah, I miss all the fun we can have as kids," Link agreed. He took both of the princess's hands and looked at her straight into the eyes. "But as kids, we never could spend time together like we can now," he told her.

Zelda blushed and looked down. "You're right," she said.

"How about we play a game that we used to play as kids?" Link suggested. "Maybe we'll become kids again just by playing this!" he joked.

"Hide and seek?" Zelda implied.

Link smiled and nodded. "Do you want to hide or search first?" he asked.

"Hmm, I guess I'll search first!" Zelda chose. "But hide well! You don't know my amazing searching skills."

Link grinned and said, "Alright! I'm off!" The Hero sped off.

After a minute, Zelda went off to search. Humming her lullaby, she combed through the horse display room tediously.

"Ha!" she said as she yanked open a cabinet. Link wasn't there. Zelda continued, checking behind horses and shelves.

Finally, she spotted a green hat poking out from in a discreetly hidden storage box. Zelda smirked and snuck up to the box…then tipped the box over, yelling, "Found you!"

The green clad figure tumbled out, whining, "Ow!" but…the voice seemed a bit…hmm…young. Z

elda gasped as the short boy picked himself up and faced her. "Young Link?" she exclaimed, taken aback. Link had told her he might become a child again from playing hide and seek, but she hadn't thought he meant that literally.

She heard a chuckle coming from behind her and then a warm embrace with a quick peck on the cheek. "Fooled ya," the familiar voice of Link rang in her ears.

Zelda smiled and playfully whined, "That wasn't funny!"

Link and Zelda were still fondling with each other before they remembered Young Link still there. They slowly peered over at him to see him with wide eyes. "You didn't see anything!" Link called.

Suddenly, an earsplitting crash was heard. The three all whirled around for the source, and then unexpectedly, the wall was cracked open, revealing a skeleton of a dinosaur. Moving. Towards them.

"AAAAAHHH!" they all cried as they tried to escape. The possessed dinosaur skeleton continued to trample towards them, emitting a deafening roar and opening its jaws, lusting to consume them.

Link, Zelda, and Young Link were cornered against a wall. Before anyone could think of a plan, the dinosaur's head plummeted…and swallowed the three up.

Tumbling down the skeletal throat, the three landed painfully into the cage-like stomach. Since there was no flesh, they were simply sitting in something like a cage.

"The bones are too close together to squeeze out!" Young Link shouted, distressed.

"Oh no!" Zelda cried.

Link accidentally knocked into her as the dinosaur pounded away, tearing through more walls of the museum until reaching another set of victims. Link spotted Ike and Marth and…who are those three people? But anyway, he shouted to them, "Run!"

However, it was too late. Before Link knew it, he could have sworn his neck broke as Ike came crashing into his head from above with Marth toppling inside, as well as the other three unfamiliar characters.

The dinosaur skeleton made its way around the museum, deteriorating it along the way, and swallowing any Smasher in sight. Soon, all thirty-five Brawlers and nine more were crammed in the stomach.

"No one to save us!" Sonic bawled.

"What the hell happened to this skeleton?" Wolf snarled.

"Who are you?" Kirby questioned to the non-Brawlers. "I wonder what it's like if I swallow you?"

It seemed like forever they were trapped in the huge cage stomach before Snake shouted, "Hey! Look over there!"

The Smashers all turned to where Snake was pointing. Standing at the doorway were their saviors.

"Need a hand?" they heard someone say from the group. Suddenly, Wii Fit Trainer backflipped out of the midst of the group and swung up with the help of all the wreckage the dino caused, up to its skeletal face and delivered a tough kick, dazing it.

Next was a short human with brown hair and dark eyes. He calmly walked up beside the dinosaur and started to dig a hole, then threw in some seeds before covering it up.

"HEY! WHY'RE YOU GARDENING WHEN WE'RE IN DANGER HERE!" Red shouted down to that oblivious being. "YOU JUST WANT OLIMAR'S JOB NOW, SINCE HE'S TRAPPED, RIGHT?"

Villager merely ignored him and proceeded to water the seeds.

Red stuck his head out. "YOU BAS—"

He was suddenly hit in the nose by a tree branch shooting up into the sky, forcing him to yank his head back in and grip his nose. "That hurt!" Red whined.

The tree was as tall as the dinosaur. Villager pulled out an ax out of nowhere and sawed at the trunk. The Smashers watched, awestruck, as the dislodged tree tumbled down onto the skeleton, severing its head off. The headless body now ran crazily around the area, the Smashers lurching in its stomach.

"I'm gonna throw up…," Pit muttered. "For the love of Palutena, get me out of this!"

"As you wish, Pit." Pit looked up, surprised.

"Palutena?!"

The goddess gracefully sliced across the dino, weakening the strong bones, as a sparkle whizzed by.

"My dear, Rosalina!" Pit heard Mario croon.

Rosalina and a red Luma worked together to trip the careening skeleton, it collapsing haphazardly onto the ground.

The next person the Smashers saw was a blue boy in rocket gear jetting up to them. Once they were level which each other, Mega Man produced a metal blade from his palm and threw it precisely across the stomach of the dinosaur. It sliced open, finally releasing the cramped Smashers, them tumbling out clumsily.

Lastly, Pac Man made his appearance and promptly swallowed the dinosaur remains, like in his arcade game.

The Smashers sat tangled together in a heap.

"No wonder science is my least favorite subject," Nana moaned before passing out with the others.


A/N: This chapter is dedicated to battlefield4us-they wanted the Smashers trapped with a "dinosaur made of impossible science." XD Sorry for keeping you waiting for this long!

This is also dedicated to Multusvalde for the appearance of five Melee characters and the new eleven characters for SSB4! I know it's only a very brief appearance, but they'll appear again in later chapters!

I haven't neglected ZeLink, sippurp123!

Some sexy, sassy Marth for you, Paku159!
