Trouble Strikes Again
AN: Please forgive me for the hiatus! I've been extremely busy.
"Tabuu… We have more Smashers." Snake informs.
Tabuu was floating in the air, of a warped realm. That was the homebase of Tabuu's evil team.
"Drat… Well… We'll have to be more careful. But I know my mistakes. We'll be much better than before! Snag any lonely Smashers you can get without being seen again." Tabuu commanded, and Snake nodded, obeying.
Tabuu called his three other minions. The real, possessed, Sonic, the evil clone Sonic, and the evil clone Snake stood, waiting for instructions.
"Yes we will," the clone Sonic took off, followed by the others.
"This is frustrating!" Dr. Mario sighed. He couldn't get it right, unfortunately.
"Do you want me to help?" Lucas timidly asked. He had never thought about using his own powers to heal them until now. He thought Dr. Mario could heal them all in no time.
Dr. Mario glanced at Lucas. "How?" His voice seemed exasperated.
"I have healing powers," Lucas responded, a little taken aback by the worried doctor.
Dr. Mario nodded. "Do what you can, then…"
Lucas walked over to the sick and injured Smashers. There was Ness, Falco, Meta Knight, and Pikachu.
Summoning his strength, a golden light surrounded the injured smashers. Slowly, their injuries and illnesses faded, and all of them stood, as if nothing had ever happened to them at all.
"Wow… Thank you Lucas," Dr. Mario looked surprised. Everyone else smiled, feeling all better.
"Now, we should be helping out," Falco nodded graciously. He exited the hospital, followed by everyone else. Dr. Mario stayed behind and thanked Lucas one more time, before Lucas exited as well.
Ness was waiting at the entrance. "Something told me that you would actually do that," he remarked. "Thank you, I feel so much better!"
They walked off to find the others. They found Toon Link, Kirby, and the Ice Climbers engaged in a practice match, using their weapons, but hurting each other as little as possible.
Toon Link launched a boomerang, which conked Nana in the head. She recoiled, but sent out a tiny iceberg, which knocked Toon Link a few feet behind. Popo took advantage of this and lightly swung his hammer at Toon Link, as he knew that his hammer could be quite devastating if launched someone's head at full force.
The match ended with Kirby winning, being the smallest. He easily dodged and let the others rack up damage on themselves.
"It's called stategy," Kirby grinned.
"You mostly just let us beat ourselves up," Toon Link laughed, in a good mood.
Nana suddenly noticed more people watching. "Hey, it's Pikachu, and Ness! Lucas, you're here too!"
"We're all better, thanks to our friend, Lucas," Pikachu dashed up next to Lucas, who looked at the others.
"Lucas has the power to heal," Ness explained.
"So even the sickness is all gone?" Popo questioned, curious.
Lucas nodded. "They're all cured."
Olimar always stopped by his new garden, which was at the back of the mansion. Today, Yoshi had joined him, also interested in the garden. Several Pikmin were around, tending to the plants.
"Wow, this is an amazing place," Yoshi remarked, looking at some strange flower.
"I like to garden, because it gives peace and happiness to me," Olimar modestly replied.
Yoshi helped out a little, watering the plants, until he noticed something strange.
"Olimar, you hear that? I think we should go back to the mansion." Yoshi shuddered.
Olimar hadn't heard a thing. "I didn't hear anything."
Yoshi shrugged. Perhaps he was only imagining it, wasn't he?
Continuing to work some more, he still felt uneasy, whatever was out there.
"YAAAGH!" Olimar shrieked as something toppled him over.
Yoshi gasped, flinging himself towards the danger to help his friend in need.
It was Crazy Hand.
"I can't believe that Master Hand is really Tabuu," he cried out, flinging around crazily. Yoshi relaxed, knowing it was only Crazy Hand.
Olimar was concerned. "What happened?"
"I thought Master Hand was Master Hand until he suddenly turned into Tabuu. I thought that dreaded person was dead long ago, but Tabuu wasn't… He attacked me!"
"That's evil of him!" Yoshi spat, his anger rising. "I can't believe Master Hand of all people would betray us, and turn out to be Tabuu. It's still unbelievable!"
"I know it is, right?" a new voice cackled from behind.
"What the heck…." Fox heard muffled screams and shouts from the back of the mansion. Creeping quietly and stealthily, he found his way to the back. He found Falco and Link there, hiding behind the bushes.
There was two Snakes, and two Sonics!
"We've got to do something!" Fox hissed urgently. The others nodded.
"We'd be outnumbering them." Link agreed, and all three jumped out, attacking the four. Upon attacking one of the Snakes, Olimar was released, and he instantly summoned all of his Pikmin to keep the enemy occupied.
They all attacked the other Snake and one of the Sonics, making them drop Yoshi and Crazy Hand. They all teamed up, attacking the evil minions of Tabuu.
"Why are there two Sonics, and two Snakes? Tabuu must be behind this, certainly!" Link shouted in fury, swiping at what was the clone of Snake.
The other Snake flew back from the impact of Link's Master Sword, and instantly ran away.
"Well, shouldn't this get easier now?"
"It's too early to say that-"
A great shadow suddenly appeared, and Fox stopped.
Yoshi, Olimar, Fox, Link, and Falco all looked upwards. The veterans, even though they knew Tabuu was behind this, were still shocked to see that the infamous Tabuu was right in front of them!
"You lose…" Tabuu cackled, and with a mighty swoosh of his wings, he emitted his powerful off-waves that annihilated the helpless Smashers.
"Pikmin," Olimar whispered. "Run away and tell this to the other Smashers! Quick!"
Olimar and some of his unlucky Pikmin became a trophy, along with the other Smashers in the fight. The other Pikmin who didn't turn into trophies, frightened, scurried to hiding places, out of Tabuu's view. Tabuu didn't notice, fortunately.
At least they're safe, was Olimar's last thought.
After Tabuu had gone, with five more trophies, the Pikmin all huddled up.
"Our friend Olimar is captured!" a red one squeaked.
"Olimar told us we have to tell the others now!" a yellow one responded, and the others in the group nodded. The group of more than thirty Pikmin dashed off into the Mansion, through windows or doors, to inform the Smashers of the bad news.
"Well, where is Olimar? He said that he was going to bring in some fresh fruit by noon, and he's not here! It's already 3:00 pm!" Wii Fit Trainer grumbled, looking around. She was waiting in the kitchen impatiently. "I was going to make a healthy fruit smoothie."
At that moment, a red Pikmin with a green leaf on top of its head scurried in, and it looked alarmed.
"Huh?" Wii Fit Trainer sat up. "Where's Olimar?"
The Pikmin started chattering in high squeaks that she couldn't understand, but the one thing she could understand was that something was wrong.
The Pikmin started to motion for her to come. She stood up.
"Whatever this is… This must not be good," the trainer said suspiciously. She ran off after the Pikmin, until they reached the back.
The garden was ruined, and patches of Subspace made a trail into the woods beyond.
"Isn't it from that 'Tabuu' guy the Veterans told me about?" Wii Fit Trainer thought aloud, and the Pikmin nodded.
Footsteps from behind made Wii Fit Trainer turn as she saw Toon Link, with a blue Pikmin, and Diddy Kong, with a yellow Pikmin, rush to the same room. She also saw the male Robin, Bowser, R.O.B., and Roy right behind them.
"Everyone, look!" Wii Fit Trainer pointed out the window, and the others gasped upon seeing it.
"It's Tabuu!" Toon Link noticed.
"I saw Yoshi and Olimar in the garden, and they must have been taken by Tabuu," Robin remembered. "Was there anybody else there?"
Somebody else came up. "Where's Fox and Falco?" Red, the Pokémon Trainer, asked them. "We were all supposed to have a practice match, but I don't see them there!"
"And where's Link?" Zelda dashed into the room, led by a white Pikmin.
The Pikmin all chattered worriedly and tried to tell the Smashers that they were taken.
Bowser, Diddy Kong, and R.O.B. seemed to understand the message.
"They were taken."
AN: Hope you enjoyed it!
