Meanwhile, at the dining hall, the Smashers were having a hell of a time, eating and socializing. Mario was talking with Cloud regarding closer contact with the rest of the Smashers, while Cloud, interested in the conversation, politely urged Mario to continue speaking, as he had grown to see the Smashers as a family after his first year in the fourth tournament. Cloud, in the middle of his rice bowl, nodded as Mario went on regarding communication with the rest of the Smashers, especially with the new ones.
Yoshi, Kirby, and King Dedede were having an eating contest, and some of the other Smashers began to place bets over who would last the longest, with most of the money going on Kirby, due to the Smashers' knowledge of the Hypernova.
Isaac and Matthew were having a grand old time talking about their respective quests, Isaac in particular was doubled over with laughter upon hearing that Garet's son had started a long quest all because of a broken glider. After the had finally gotten it all out, Isaac offered to take his son to his friends that helped in his and Felix's quest to unleash Alchemy. Matthew obliged, and the two set off to the outskirts of the Mansion.
Banjo and Geno were talking about their respective experiences, with Kazooie occasionally butting in with a snarky comment. Banjo pulled out his Game Boy and offered it to Kazooie in an effort to continue his conversation uninterrupted.
Ridley and K. Rool had ended up sitting with Bowser and Ganondorf. Midway through his tenth serving of TNT Drumsticks, Bowser got up and went to Junior and the Koopalings, who were playing amongst themselves, mostly to get away from K. Rool.
Wolf, meanwhile, had stolen yet another jug of Lon Lon Milk from the kitchens, and chugged half of the container's contents in record time, while Isabelle and Villager watched with exasperated smiles on their faces.
Samus and Donkey Kong were drowning their sorrows at the bar, both of them furious at the fact that their sworn enemies had gotten into the Smash tournament. They were soon joined by Mr. Game & Watch, who fruitlessly tried to drink something, which went through his body, getting a laugh out of the primate and the bounty hunter. Snake, after finishing a conversation with Captain Falcon, went off to his quarters to spend time with Hal and Sunny.
Isaac brought Matthew to the array of houses that looked like they came straight out of Vale, and knocked on the door of the middle house. After hearing Jenna yell, "I'll get it!" Isaac gave a smile that read "Brace yourself," to his son.
Jenna opened the door, and when she saw her boyfriend out at the front, she wrapped him in a tight hug before saying, "Isaac, what is this place?"
Isaac chuckled, and responded, "Smashville, last I heard."
Jenna's attention shifted to Matthew, and she asked Isaac, "Who is he?"
At that, Isaac blushed, and awkwardly said, "He's... our son. From the future."
Jenna looked at Matthew again, and she too turned scarlet. Matthew resembled his father a great deal, but had a look of fire in his eyes that only a Mars Adept could have. Jenna then welcomed the both of them into her house, and then immediately called Felix over to see his nephew. Felix, after seeing Matthew, said nothing as he climbed up the stairs to go back to sleep. As Jenna and Isaac began talking to each other at the dinner table, Matthew politely excused himself to go back to the Mansion. Upon returning, he walked over to Villager, and asked, "Pardon me, is there a mail room?"
Villager nodded, and began to give the Adept directions.
Once the festivities had ended, everyone headed off to bed. Kirby, from his little tree, saw a bright star in the sky.
The next morning...
As the Smashers convened in the hall for breakfast, they all noticed that Master Hand, surprisingly, was not there. They didn't pay it much mind, however, until Fox ran over to Master Hand's office to ask a question, and got no response. Suspicious, the Star Fox leader opened the door, and found no sign of the hand in the office. Fox then noticed a note on his desk, and read it. Fox then ran back into the hall, and the note fluttered to the floor. The note read, "To whoever finds this note, tell all the Smashers to meet at the Craggy Outlook."
