Author's Note: Look, I'm having some medical problems in the family, so this one's a bit late. Hopefully I'll get one up on the next due date. So, I'm trying something, having an EarthBound character be a major character in the chapter and NOT focusing on them the entire time. No bottom disclaimer either, today, and you'll soon find out why! I don't own the song below, and all that copyrighted stuff. Also, NOBODY expected a NessXSaria from ME! Mwahahaha! And a lot of hard work went into those lyrics. Like, 2 hours. So BE GRATEFUL. On yet another note, I've explained the major differences between the Skull Kids from Ocarina of Time/ Majora's Mask and those of Twilight Princess. Let's see how many of you get the references in this one!


It was silent. Skull Kid watched closely as the world around him fell. He stood in the forest, his trumpet in hand, waiting for something to happen. He was to warn the Falcon Flyer if the soldiers of Type A would come through the forest. He sighed and noticed Ness. Ness was sitting there, assigned to help Skull Kid, moping as he made his yo-yo dance through the leaves. Skull Kid watched as smoke and ashes of blown-up spirits rained down into the forest. He closed his eyes and began to play a tune that caught Ness' attention.

"You-you know how to play Saria's Song too?" He was amazed.

"Yeah, my friend taught it to me several years ago. I use it to try to communicate with my friends. They haven't really talked back yet."

"My friends haven't really got in touch with me. We had an argument and they went their seperate ways. I was lost and then I met the Smashers, like Link. He helped me a lot."

"My story's about the same. Except mine didn't have a happy ending."

"Well, what happened?"

"I was a mischevious little bugger back then. I found a guy with a bunch of masks. My fairies warned me not to steal from him. I didn't listen. This great evil, he... he took over my body. He overshadowed me and made me do terrible things. My friends, who barely stayed with me, he hurt them. He made the moon fall. It was scary." Skull Kid scratched his head as his duck-bill frowned. A piece of straw fell off his face as Ness tried to find the right words to say.

"Look, maybe we can try to call someone with Saria's Song. There are plenty of nice people in the forest." Ness showed off an ocarina with the Triforce on it. Skull Kid smirked and pulled out his trumpet as they began to play. The grass began to glow as they swirled as a feminine figure swirled around and began to reveal herself. It was Saria herself, accompanied by some Deku Scrubs. They disappeared as she looked at Ness and smirked with a strange smile. Ness's ears turned a bright red and he began to smile nervously as Skull Kid put away his trumpet and walked over to Saria.

"Hello there, miss! I'm Skull Kid, and this is SNES!" Ness motioned to Skull Kid, "Oh, I'm sorry. This is Ness. He's being quiet for some reason."

"Hey, so why'd you call me again? And where's Link? I heard the Ocarina of Time, and I swore that Link still had it, unless YOU took it once more..." Saria scowled at the childish creature, who had piece after piece of straw fall off.

"It wasn't me! It was the mask that took it last time! And Link gave it to Ness because they're buddies." Skull Kid pulled Ness out from behind the fallen tree. He tried to speak, but instead pointed to the Halberd flying above and the falling pieces of Purple Punchers. She gasped and pulled out a few Deku Nuts and immediately began to rise as a Piranha Plant lifted her into the sky as she yelled back at the boys.

"I can't allow them to destroy the forest! The purple one released those purple bug things into here and it took forever to get rid of them! No more fighting!"

"WAIT! The one with the mustache is the evil one! The masked one is on the good side! Link's on that one, fighting ghosts! And I'm coming with!" Skull Kid whistled and his fairies circled around him. They grabbed his shirt and he flew after Saria. Ness sighed and pulled out a cloud and followed. They reached the nose of Type A and Ness looked at Skull Kid. His straw-like face was gone. It was now grey, with craters all over it. The beak was gone, there was a wide grin with pointy teeth. His eyes glowed red. He frowned and looked at his face and gasped.

"It's a acne problem... I think..." Skull Kid began to scratch his face.

"Or, overexposure to the mask. Where is it?" Saria crossed her arms and tapped her foot.

"It's... in my pocket." He looked down and sighed.

"You're going to hurt a lot of people."

"It's to protect the ones I love. I'm trying to control it, but sometimes it takes over..."

"So you mean you're still wearing it?"

"I'm trying to be a hero!"

"Look, you're no Spider-Man. You can't control that venomous evil."

"I- I get it... Venomous... and the symbiotic... I'll shut up." Ness watched as Saria and Skull Kid both frowned at him. Saria gave orders and she leaped off to go free the captives. Ness and Skull Kid shared a smirk and tried to break through the glass. They broke through and watched as Mr. L stood there and watched them. Link stood there, trapped. The two boys shrieked and tried to free him. He hushed them and began to speak.

"The... the self-destruct code... It's the tune right there." Link eyed a sheet of paper that held musical notes. The glass reformed as the two began to shiver. They pulled out their instruments and played it. Mr. L came out of the shadows and clapped. Link transformed into nothing but shadow bugs as they swirled into Mr. L's hand. The boys shared a puzzling look.

"Good job, boys. You know, I never thought such a smart kid as you, Ness, could fall for the old False duplicate trick. You know the song, Korobeinki, or better known as Tetris Type A? The song Type A to activate the Tetris bombs? It always works."

"What's your beef, Luigi? Why did you go evil? Why are you doing this?" Ness growled as two Sidesteppers grabbed their arms as Mr. L laughed. He pressed a button as speakers popped out.

"Because..."

"Ignorance is bliss?" a Goomba smirked. Mr. L stomped him and music came on.

"It's for peace and love."

(SONG CUE! If you want to hear the ORIGINAL before it was turned into this Smash version, as well as the accompanying music, go to watch?v=srgwbsog8bc and I promise this'll be the final musical chapter of this Day.)

Mr. L cleared his throat and began to sing.

" To the Kingdom I came, seeking fortune, but they're making me work 'til I'm dead. The first bananas have it so easy. Mario's putting stars on his bread.

The henchmen and others are hungry, but think what a feast it could be, if I could create, a second-banana state, that put in charge people like ME!

I am the man who arranges the blocks that descend down by me from up above. They go down and I spin them around 'til they fit in the ground like hand in glove. Sometimes it seems that to move them, it's fine and the people will die as the blocks fall. Then I see that I have misjudged it. I should not have nudged it after all. Can I have a long one please? Why must these infernal bombs tease?

I am the man who arranges the blocks that continue to fall from up above. Come, let us fight! Let the henchmen unite! A collective regime of peace and love. I work so quick in arranging the blocks that my brother attempts to suck me dry. But my people shall rise, we will not compromise for we know that the old ways have to die. Long live Weegee, kill the bro. We'll push my power as far as it'll go!

I am the man who arranges the blocks that continue to fall from up above. All the food on your plate for my hypnotized state. A collective regime of peace and love. I have no choice in arranging the blocks, under Dimentio rule, what he'll say goes. The rule of the game is that I'm now the same and my blocks must create unbroken rows. Long live my lord, he loves you. Sing his praise or you'll know what he'll do!

I am the man who arranges the bombs that are made by the men in Type A's hat. They come very late, and the labor I hate but we're working to my lord's secret plan. I am the man who arranges the men that will make all my friends just keep away. Sir Luigi is dead. Mr. L has now led. Let us point all our guns at Master Hand. We shall live forever more. We shall make an energy war!

I am the man who arranges the blocks that are building the doom of every race. Hip Hip Hurray for Dimentio's day. He is sending you to die in Subspace. I work so hard in arranging the blocks and I can't just go home to Daisy in tears. What's the point of it all when you're building a wall and everyone you care for disappears. Pointless work for my doomsday. THis is one game I'm forced to play! I AM THE MAN WHO ARRANGES THE BLOCKS!

But tomorrow, I advise to stay in bed. For the world shall be gone, I'll be just a pawn, and everyone I love is dead. "

(END SONG IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO IT.)

Mr. L was sweating. He was growling and punching his stomach as the green left his eyes and turned to blue. A spirit left his body, in the form of a 2D jester-like person. Dimentio continued to blast green energy at Luigi, who fought back. Ness and Skull Kid flipped the Sidesteppers and punched underneath them, causing them to go unstable. They grabbed it and began to throw them at the jester. They went right through him, and he continued to fight Luigi. Luigi ripped off the mask and clothes, wearing nothing but his undershirt and Ghostbusters boxers. He pulled out the Poltergust 5000 and began to attack Dimentio, and caught him in a tornado of power. Dimentio phased through and left through the doors as they turned into adamantium walls, blocking anyone from getting through. Skull Kid sighed and pulled out a heart-shaped mask. Multi-colored, spikes all around it, creepy eyes, straight out of a horror film. He smashed it against the glass. The glass immediately broke.

They jumped on top of the hat. Zombified interviewees like Geno and Pac-Man attacked Link, Quote, Pikachu and Mario. Magnus sliced up Koopa Troopas as above from the ship the other Smashers slammed into the ship. Ness looked at Claus, Lucas, Meta Knight, everyone else, continued fighting from the Falcon Flyer. Saria was held down by several Chozo Spirits as Kamek charged his wand at her heart. Ness and Luigi jumped immediately into battle, but Skull Kid stayed. A single tear crawled down his face as tentacles popped out of the mask. He closed his eyes and whispered something as he rammed it into his face.

"I am Majora."
