Chapter 20: Weapons. Stat. Part 1.
It was a peaceful morning, and Waluigi was awake early cleaning the camp and using Game and Watch's pan to cook up some bacon.
Waluigi: Wa... first, my hole is taken over by that stupid puppet, then, I get turned into a maid by that lousy Waddle Dee. When will people realize that I'm a contestant in this game!
Waluigi looked at the sleeping Daroach with his hat over his eyes. Daroach seemed disturbed as he twitched and grumbled in his sleep.
Waluigi: What's up with that loser?
Waluigi shrugged, twisted his mustache, then after picking up another 3 twigs and a rock, decided to go back to sleep. Not before practicing his tennis swing though. As he looked under his bed where he stored his tennis racket, suddenly he began to panic.
Waluigi: Wa? Wa? Wa ha ha?! Where is my precious racket! It's gone!
Waluigi began to bawl like a baby. Daroach opened one eye and looked at the racket under his cape.
Daroach: Wow. I even steal in my sleep.
Daroach glanced at the racket again and looked at it in disgust.
Daroach: Well, better than nothing. Now where did all the other weapons go that I stored?
Waluigi saw Daroach's eyes open and threw a temper tantrum in front of him as Daroach quickly stuffed his racket in his cape.
Waluigi: I miss my racket! Wa ha ha ha ha!
Daroach: That's nice. But I don't really care so please take this somewhere else...
Waluigi: We must get our weapons back! Look at Meta Knight over there, he's chomping at the bit for his sword!
Meta Knight brushed his bat wings, rubbed his eyes, and went to drink some water. Afterwards, he just went back to bed and fell asleep again.
Daroach: Uh, was that supposed to be a good example?
They both glanced at the next person who woke up, Fox. Fox looked above his head to see a coconut tree, and it was rather tall. He felt for his pistol in his holster, but it was no where to be found. Shrugging, he simply climbed up the tree and yanked a coconut off.
Waluigi: Fox could of shot down that coconut .5 seconds quicker with his blaster!
Daroach: Big loss.
Once more they watched another member awaken, Marth. He walked into the forest a bit and saw a dead tree on the ground, and Marth was going to break it up to make firewood. He grabbed the tree, but couldn't even lift it. He tried kicking it, punching it, then finally tried body slamming it, but only ended up hurting himself, and his secret tiara rolled off his head, but he quickly scooped it up greedily.
Waluigi: Marth needs his sword to cut up the logs for firewood.
Daroach paused.
Daroach: Ok, Marth is a wimp without his sword. I'll give you that. Wait, how do you know so much about these people?
Waluigi: I stalk alot. Wa Wa...
Waluigi breathed heavily.
Waluigi: Anyways, we got to gather the All Stars, and find our weapons! Heck, all our camp life is failing!
Now everyone was awake and they lacked food and water, leaving them all annoyed.
Zelda: Like, what's that skinny purple dude going on about? And will someone here get me a glass of water?
Dry Bowser rushed to the very scarce water source and got a glass of water for Zelda.
Dry Bowser: Right here! Now will you go out with me?
Zelda: No!
Zelda then thought to herself in her head.
Zelda: Being the only girl here, I can command all these boys to do my bidding. I can get used to this. Good thing Rosalina isn't a contestant.
Zelda reworded her answer.
Zelda: Thanks, sweetie.
Zelda winked. Dry Bowser growled.
Zelda: Err uh, I mean thanks you big brute of muscle!
Dry Bowser: Damn rights!
Falcon was unusally silent, stirring in the corner and glaring at Daroach. Fawful then stared at the blabbering Waluigi in front of them all.
Fawful: What's that fink rat of fail proportions trailing on about?!
By now, everyone's attention was drawn to Waluigi, who was yelling about how the weapons needed to be returned pronto.
Waluigi: Friends!
Dry Bowser: Well, he lost me.
Marth: Who is this guy?
Waluigi: Very funny! Funny, right friends?
Luigi: No, I think that's a very legitimate question.
Fox: Yeah, it's pretty low when even Luigi doesn't know who you are!
Luigi: Yeah no kiddin- Hey!
Everyone shared a laugh on this, even Dry Bowser. Game and Watch clapped his hands slowly.
Fox: Finally! I told a good joke!
He jumped in the air in victory. Waluigi stomped his foot into the ground so hard he got it stuck into the earth. He could not remove his foot with his meager strength and growled. Then, he began his speech with one foot lodged in the ground, looking like a fool.
Waluigi: Everyone! We must reclaim our weapons once more! Without them, we are have the person! Half the man, lady, beast, whatever! I say as a team, we charge into the forest and find these weapons and return our former glory! What do you say, my All Stars?!
Marth: Ok. But we already discussed this after we got back from tribal before going to bed. We're going to go find our weapons that Funky stole after the challenge. Since when were you an All Star?
Waluigi's mustache, nose, and face drooped.
Waluigi: Wa? Y-You discussed this without your fellow contestant Waluigi?
Game and Watch scratched his head at the mention of Waluigi's involvement within this game.
Ness: Contwstint? Deed eye mess phomting? (Did I miss something?)
Meta Knight: No.
Zelda: Like, the kid who I can barely understand is right. Is he actually a contestant?
Luigi: I think he's just crazier than a goomba on a Tuesday.
Waluigi sighed as the group walked away from him. He tried to follow but his foot was still submerged underground. He tried yanking at his bony leg but to no avail.
Waluigi: Hello? Wa? Guys? Friends?!
Ignoring Waluigi's pleas for help, Daroach noticed Falcon had not moved an inch, nor let his sights off him.
Daroach: Way to hold a grudge.
Daroach attempted to walk towards Falcon, only for Falcon to hold up a flaming fist with a sneer. He did not want to be talked to right now.
Fox: Wow, he's pretty angry with us isn't he?
Zelda: Like yeah. He's just a bit of a baby. I didn't sulk that much when Link or any of my fellow girlfriends were voted out.
Fox: Actually, you had to consoled for 3 days straight with Link-
Zelda quickly changed the subject.
Zelda: Foxy hun, would you mind grabbing me some of that coconut you got earlier?
Fox's lip began to quiver.
Fox: Only Krystal orders me around! Whaaaaaa!
Fox ran off sulking, Zelda sighed.
Zelda: Irony at it's finest!
Zelda began to call out to Dry Bowser.
Zelda: Dry Bowser, you big strong man-
Dry Bowser returned with a whole stack of coconuts.
Zelda: Thanks!
She then leaned in a bit closer to him.
Zelda: So, if I asked you to vote whoever I asked off this island, would you do that for little ol' me?
Dry Bowser: Hmm, I don't like to be pushed around like this princess!
Zelda: I'll give you a kiss. Hehe.
She then gave him a very playful wink.
Dry Bowser: As long as I get that kiss!
Dry Bowser trudged away. Zelda smiled.
Zelda: One primitive male down, and more to go. I feel that the rest won't be as easy as him though. For shame.
Over around Marth's bed area closer to the forest than anyone else's resting area, Marth was offering Ness English lessons. He felt that due to him learning English prior to this contest in order to increase his odds of winning the game, he decided to be generous enough to provide Ness with the same.
Marth: Ok, say "Hi, my name is Ness"
Ness: Heye, meye nime es Nezz.
Marth: No, try again. Hi, my name is Ness. Not so much emphasis on the I in hi. or the Y in my. Also, how in the world did you get an I sound instead of an A in name? Try once more.
Ness: Hi. My. N...hrame. Iz Nezz!
Marth: Well we're getting there. Practice makes perfect! Again!
Ness's eyes suddenly turned red. He felt a scream enter his head.
Ness: Quiet you overgrown gremlin maggot! Screw practice and screw you!
Ness slammed Marth with his fist, then dashed into the forest. Marth uttered a curse in Japanese.
Marth: What the hell was that about?!
Meta Knight saw this from the corner and rolled his eyes.
Meta Knight: Kids. Overgrown brats.
Marth stood back up again and rubbed his head.
Marth: ...I'm so proud! He nailed the English in that sentence perfectly!
Marth then noticed a sliver of wood fall off his face.
Marth: Wood? That's a bit weird.
Fawful: It's...a cat doing a cartwheel!
Game and Watch shook his head in disagreement. He hopped in the air and juggled a couple of rocks on the ground. They were playing cherades in order to pass time until their next challenge.
Fawful: A type of exotic snail?
Game and Watch sighed, tying a pair of balloons on his backs and floating in the air a bit.
Fawful: I got it! You must be a toaster that had a really bad day at the office!
Game and Watch slammed his helmet in anger on the ground and beeped loudly, throwing his arms up in the air. Meta Knight popped up behind Fawful.
Meta Knight: It was a clown. What's wrong with you?
Meta Knight strode away and Game and Watch clapped for Meta Knight.
Fawful: What? I was close! Ham sandwiches with lots of mustard!
Zelda, on the other hand was beginning to play her feminine strengths to her advantage. She was ordering people to grab her items that she felt entitled to as "she is like, royalty and the only girl here". Surely enough, most people fell for her charm.
Zelda: Oh Luigi my sweetness, would you care to take the twigs that are in my hair?
Luigi: Well, you are the princess of Hyrule. Think you can say hi to Link for me after this contest?
Zelda: Yeah yeah. Thanks honey!
Luigi went to work picking twigs out of her hair. Dry Bowser fetched her more food and water out of the already dwindling supply of food. The roasted Gyrados from a while back was mostly devoured, and water was becoming harder to find.
Dry Bowser: So, about that kiss?
Zelda: Oh of course! Close your eyes.
Dry Bowser closed his eyes, and Zelda smacked him right around the face, more centered in the lip region. Luigi snicked.
Dry Bowser: Wow! That was great! Shut up Luigi! At least I've now received a kiss on the lips from a princess! 25 years of rescuing that broad Peach and you get nothing but pecks of the cheek!
Luigi: H-Hey! I'm working on it!
Most of the camp was also under her spell. Back when ZSS was still around, most of the contestant failed to notice Zelda. Now that only she remained, a lot more attention of fixated on her when she yearned it. Luigi, Dry Bowser, Fawful, and Game and Watch would take heed to her commands if she asked. Ness had also returned from the forest once again and fell for Zelda's charm...Geno included. Meta Knight just ignored everyone and everything like usual. Falcon stirred in the corner, glaring at Daroach. Daroach stared back at Falcon, also paying no interest to Zelda. Marth and Fox did not buy her act at all.
Marth: She is a total succubus! This prince does not approve.
Fox: Amen brother! Krystal is the only women I need! K-K-
Marth: Seriously man, don't start with that. I'm wearing a tiara and I'm more controlling of my emotions than you.
Fox: ...Point taken. I'll resist. Alright partner, what are we going to do about it?
Marth rubbed his chin with a tiny bit of facial hair. He always kept trim with his sword that he carefully used to shave his face before, but without it he was unable to do so.
Marth: Well first we find our weapons that that sneaky ape hid on us! Then we'll think about Zelda after. Got it?
Marth and Fox shook hands. Finally in what seemed like forever, Rosalina came by with the Lumas waiting for them.
Rosalina: Challenge time my sweets! Hop on a Luma and let's get to it!
Everyone boarded a Luma and set off. Dry Bowser had a hard time staying on his Luma and almost fell off.
Dry Bowser: Goddamit Luma! This thing is too small for my muscle bound body!
Finally, after a nice Luma ride for everyone but Dry Bowser, everyone arrive to the challenge site. This time, there was 10 long protruding poles sticking out of some rather swampy and murky water. Pirahna plants anxiously stuck their heads out underneath along with Klap Traps, hoping to get a bite at one of them.
Rosalina: Welcome to your next challenge!
Eggplant Wizard: It's test dummy time! I love being a test dummy! Bandana Dee tells me I'm good at it!
Bandana Dee: Yes you are, you big dummy!
Rosalina: You boys are so rude to each other! Anyways, as you can see, their is a pool of water, and 10 thick poles to stand on.
They all gazed at the poles that had carved mushrooms and starmen in them.
Rosalina: Every once in a while, while you are on the poles, a piece from both sides of the pole will shave off and become skinnier. The objective is to stay on the pole the longest without falling off-
Fox: Should we just forfeit? I mean, Game and Watch is just gonna turn 2D again...or Falcon will just be amazing or something.
Rosalina: Good for him! Now, let's watch the contestants up right now and see how the last.
Vivi and Eggplant Wizard were balancing on the poles. They were all stern, and focused to win. This went on for 30 minutes and no one twitched, that is, until Dry Bowser got impatient and hit a button next to Rosalina. The poles submerged under water and knocked everyone into the murky depths. There were Klap Traps on the water, and they were snapping away at the three victims.
Vivi: Back you mutated alligators!
Rosalina: Dry Bowser! That was very naughty of you! Say you're sorry!
Dry Bowser: No! He pouted.
Rosalina: Say you're sorry or I won't let you participate!
Dry Bowser: Grr...sorry! There!
Rosalina: Better! Are you ok guys?
Eggplant Wizard: My eye!
Fortunately, they all climbed out and were soaking wet.
Luigi: Are we falling into that water!?
Bandana Dee: Yep! It actually helps cause it makes you more focused not to fall in!
Rosalina: Sorry guys! I let Bandana Dee make this one! He likes being needlessly cruel apparently.
The two got out of the water and growled at Bandana Dee.
Bandana Dee: Sorry, to Dry Bowser's defense, you were taking far too long. We got a schedule here for the contestant!
They mumbled and set up a game of cards. Marth then raised his hand and turned to Rosalina.
Marth: Oh yeah, one question: There are 11 contestants, and only 10 poles.
Bandana Dee snickered.
Bandana Dee: Oh, did I forget to put one in?
Meta Knight: Intentional.
Rosalina: Oh you mischievous Bandana Dee! Ok, go quick, this should be fun!
Everyone began moving towards the poles, racing not to be left behind.
Marth: So when do we start?
Marth finished looking at Rosalina when he caught on, and so did everyone else.
Marth: Every time! Why does no one say go!
A lot of people were pushing back Game and Watch into the water so that he couldn't participate as they climbed up the poles. Marth just barely skirmished up a pole with his speed. Now only Fox and Meta Knight were left to get the last pole.
Fox: Just about there!
Fox climbed up the pole, and Meta Knight did not even move an inch from where he was standing. Suddenly, he flung his cape behind him and appear on top of the last pole.
Fox: Not fair! How'd you do that?!
Meta Knight replied dryly.
Meta Knight: Speed.
Fox grumbled and quickly swam across the water to avoid the monsters in it. The challenge was on.
Waddle Dee: Alrighty then, the competition starts... now!
The poles were pretty thick right now and no one was having problems balancing.
Vivi: So... how's camp life?
Luigi: It's a pretty good... aw man.
Luigi stared beside him, and Game and Watch was 2D. He would never fall off at this rate.
Vivi: I-I see he puts his talents to good use.
Dry Bowser: You're telling me! Woah...
Dry Bowser was already slipping up a bit, due to his big stature.
Rosalina: The poles are now smaller!
The poles shrunk slightly, and Dry Bowser was struggling now. Meanwhile, Ness was sweating again as his face twisted.
Ness: Heh, look at these fools, i'm gonna win this!
Marth: What? Did you just speak clear English again?
Ness regained his control.
Ness: Keh?
Fox was meanwhile having a debate with Eggplant Wizard over how Landmaster should be the new form of transportation.
Fox: You know, why do people drive these silly cars and stuff? We need Landmasters! They are stylish, have self defense, and don't use too much fuel consumption!
Eggplant Wizard: What's a Landmaster?
Fox: Of course, who am I kidding. Anyone here know what a Landmaster is?
Rosalina raised her hand up.
Fox: I can always count on you Rosalina!
30 minutes had passed. No one had fallen in yet, although Dry Bowser was very close to doing so.
Rosalina: Thinner poles!
The poles shrunk again, and Dry Bowser fell into the water. But the fish were so badly freaked out at his appearance, they flopped out of the water and tried to flop away, but Eggplant Wizard picked one up and stroked it.
Eggplant Wizard: Aw, it's huuungry.
Vivi: I-I'd drop that-
Rosalina: This ain't going to be pretty.
The pirahna started snapping at Eggplant Wizard and chewed him up.
Eggplant Wizard: My eye! Again!
Rosalina quickly launched star bits at the fish until it came off.
Meta Knight: Clown.
Meta Knight then looked down for a moment and noticed a slash of mud upon his shoe. He used his cape to clean off his little purple shoes, but he slipped a little, and tripped over his cape and into the water.
Dry Bowser: Are your shoes clean now?! Hahahaha! Nerd!
Meta Knight silently walked off into the corner and lowered his head for his embarrassing defeat in the challenge. Although Game and Watch was holding very sturdy on the pole, they noticed Falcon had not moved an inch either with a stern expression on his face. Luigi whispered to Marth.
Luigi: I don't a like Falcon like this. He's not as energetic as he was before.
Marth: Yeah it's kind of odd huh?
Bandana Dee: Great, everyone's concentrating, this oughta be a while!
One hour now. All them had tense faces, and Game and Watch wasn't sideways anymore because he was bored of it. He was now feeding bacon to the pirahnas. Fawful slipped into the water after he sneezed. The poles were that thin now. Only Luigi, Daroach, Game and Watch, Zelda, Ness, and Marth were left.
Ness: Hiy Genow, I tink uo are a pozzeing mee sumtimes. Shop pwese. (Hi Geno, I think you are possessing me sometimes. Stop please)
Geno: Kid, possessing? No I'm not taking over your consciousness Ness...are you quite alright?
Ness suddenly focused his psi powers onto Luigi's pole.
Luigi: Hmm, I'm surprised I'm still up here, I had bad traction problems after all.
Ness focused, and Luigi's pole shook enough so that Luigi fell into the water, and the pirahnas almost had their lunch... but Luigi was running on water.
Daroach: How in Miyamoto's name does he do that?!
Luigi: Super Mario 64 DS. Why wasn't I in the first one?!
Fox: It's bad if Game and Watch wins, right Meta Knight?
Meta Knight: Whatever.
Luigi: What?! My pole was a shaking on it's own!
Ness, Game and Watch, Marth, Falcon, and Zelda were standing on one foot in discontent. Game and Watch shrugged and turned 2d to be skinnier than the pole. Ness was busy attempting to shake Falcon's pole next. Zelda was slipping a bit. Marth was holding out well. Ness began to focus upon Falcon's pole, and his sturdy stance began to shake a bit. Falcon caught wind of this though and shot his head over towards Ness.
Falcon: If I were you, I'd suggest you stop.
Rosalina Stop wha...
Waddle Dee saw a little vein on Ness' head begin to pulse.
Rosalina: Ness! I'm sorry hun, but I caught that! You're out!
Ness: Waaaa!
Ness regained himself, and was standing on the ground next to everyone.
Ness: Whay happoned?
Dry Bowser: Kudos kid! Cheating is the way to go!
Ness: Chetaahing? Noooo!
Ness went off to a corner separate from Meta Knight and started uttering to Geno.
Ness: Yoo gout mei cuit!
Geno scratched his head in confusion.
Geno: What? I didn't help you cheat! That's not part of my assertion training! Crazy kid...
A large wind began to blow, making Game and Watch sway a bit, along with Marth and Zelda. Marth just couldn't keep his composure long enough though and fell and slammed his head into the ground.
Marth: ...So blame me for having a healthy diet of some lettuce per day!
Dry Bowser: More like a woman's diet.
Marth: You're a bully turtle!
Marth hopped in the air, and hopped on Dry Bowser. Dry Bowser fell into a piles of bones, then regenerated three seconds later. Everyone chuckled and laughed.
Dry Bowser: At least I look better than any of you! ...I hate this!
Daroach, Falcon, Game and Watch, and Zelda remained. Out of the 4, Zelda was closest to slipping. She then winked at Game and Watch from the other side of the poles. Game and Watch shrugged in confusion. Zelda then began to blow a kiss to Game and Watch. This happened to make Game and Watch swoon enough to fall off the pole and into the water. Everyone was surprised at him falling out like this.
Luigi: Well that was a weird.
Fox: A little too weird...
Only Falcon, Daroach, and Zelda remained. Only Zelda was close to slipping off again. She couldn't even catch Falcon's attention to try to sway him to fall off. Falcon just stared out into the clouds. Daroach was worried about Falcon's ability to stay on the pole.
Daroach: Grr...he's going to target me if he wins this.
Falcon still did not move an inch. He was like a bronzed statue, erected with a bold and majestic stance. A good hour passed before everyone began to fall asleep...including Daroach. He passed out and plopped right into the water. Falcon was the winner. Everyone woke up when the water splashed them all from Daroach's fall.
Waddle Dee: Falcon wins the challenge! Congrats!
Rosalina gave him a kiss and the idol with Mario and Luigi in a buddy pose performing peace signs. Falcon took the trophy and gave a smile.
Falcon: ...Nailed it!
Dry Bowser: Brilliant, she gives kisses now as rewards!
Daroach: Was that sarcasm? It wasn't very convincing with all the happy emotion.
Dry Bowser: No way freak, it was joy, for when I win the next challenge, she'll give me a kiss!
Luigi: Guys, she's closest to me, stop trying to win her! We had two games together!
Daroach: You say that, yet you're cheating on Daisy?
Luigi: Who a told you that!?
Daroach: Waluigi.
Luigi: Why that little-
Rosalina: Back to camp now! What are you going to do with the remaining time cuties?
Fawful: Off to find our implements of mass destruction!
They hopped on the Lumas, and made it back to camp quicker than Daroach can make up another witty and sarcastic pun. Waluigi was still stuck the ground, trying to inch his nose close enough to grab a cup of rice near Goroh's old bed.
Waluigi: One...more...push...
The Lumas came crashing down into the camp, spilling the food all over Waluigi's face.
Walulgi: Waaaa! I yi yi yi!
Dry Bowser: Hey, get out of our food supply!
Dry Bowser yanked the lanky weirdo from the ground and threw him to the side, growling in anger.
Waluigi: Thank you kind sir!
Dry Bowser snapped at him with his bony jaw.
Dry Bowser: I am not nice!
Dry Bowser took him and shoved him back into the ground.
Waluigi: Aww...
Soon, the All Stars formed a group around where Daroach said "That purple pole that wasn't there before is" and began discussing an intricate game plan.
Luigi: Off to find our a weapons. Anything we should plan out first?
Falcon: ...CHARGE!
Falcon burst into the forest with a loud yell. He seemed to be chipper again with his latest victory. Everyone else shrugged and follow suit. They even yanked Waluigi out of the ground and Dry Bowser hoisted him over his shoulder like a spear. 15 minutes later, they became lost smack dab in the middle of the forest.
Meta Knight: Great plan.
Daroach: Whatever. Any idea on the location of our weapons?
Luigi: Any ideas?
Fox: Hmm...I know who we can ask for help!
Fox's eyes gleamed as he looked at a sitting crow on a branch next to them.
Fox: I got it!
Fox attempted to climb up the tree, but fell on his face. He then rammed the tree with his head, but injured himself. Dry Bowser, tired of watching Fox brutalize himself, smacked the bird out of the tree, and gave him to Fox.
Dry Bowser: So, what's your oh so amazing plan?
Fox: Ok, guys, I tell the crow to go find our weapons like a dove, and we will have our weapons... in no time! Hey?
Fox outstretched his arms in a smart aleck fashion, and Meta Knight face palmed.
Marth: I think he's in denial.
Waluigi: Hey Fox, that's not a dove, it's a crow.
Fox: Ha, good one Waluigi!
Fox ripped a piece of his white jacket onto the crow, and tossed him into the sky.
Fox: He's somewhat white, he's a growing dove, now fly into the sky my birdie friend!
The crow moved forward in the sky, then swooped around and started pecking at Fox.
Fox: Ow-no, bad dove, ooow!
The crow flew high in the sky, and prepared a final blow, but an Arwing nailed the crow into the horizon and out came, you guessed it, Falco.
Fox: Thanks for stopping the insane bird, but why do you keep coming back?
Falco: Cause I care.
Dry Bowser: Yeah-
Falco snapped at him.
Falco: Don't try me.
Falco pulled out some cake from his pocket, and Dry Bowser approached him.
Dry Bowser: Gimme some of that cake, turkey!
Falco: Hands off my cake!
Dry Bowser shrugged, and jacked Falco's Arwing instead, leaving everyone in the dust.
Dry Bowser: Ha ha losers, i'm outta here, who needs this competition!
Dry Bowser zoomed off into the distance, maybe never to be seen again.
Falco: I'm a victim to loss of Arwings!
Luigi: He's not that big of a victim, right Meta Knight?
Meta Knight: Hmm.
Luigi looked at the smile on Falco's face after seeing Fox's discontent. The same smug smile he used the day he was eliminated from the contest.
Fox: Why can't he stay out? Man, I feel sorry for the other contestants who didn't get no extra appearances.
They all move on with the current loss of Dry Bowser, but with the addition of Falco, the cake hogging, showoff Brooklyn accent chicken. The search continued.
Another 15 minutes passed. Tensions were growing high as they swore they walked pass that same tree that looked like Wispy Willows 20 times over.
Fox: So ,any idea where our weapons are stashed? OR where we are?
Falco quipped back to him.
Well, my Arwing maybe could of tracked them out, but I don't have my Arwing with me!
Zelda: This is TORTURE.
Fawful suddenly jumped up in the air and pointed as he found Ness' Yoyo dropped on the ground. Ness squealed in delight.
Ness: Yay! Meye Yo-To!
Luigi: That's strange. Maybe we will find more weapons if we follow the direction of this Yo-yo!
Falco nodded his head in agreeance.
Falco: Yes, maybe if we follow the path, we can find your weapons. Luckily I still have mine.
They watched the ground as proceeded forward as they followed the path the Yo-yo was found on, only to have ropes snag their feet and hoist them upside down.
Falcon: I got this!
Falcon tried melting through the rope with his flaming fists. Oddly, the rope was fireproof.
Falco: Step aside! I'll shoot us down with our blaster!
Falco whipped out his now dual blasters, but dropped them as they clumsily fell out of his hands.
Fox: Niiiiice.
Marth: We are certainly in a sticky wicket eh?
Game and Watch sighed. The weapons were already too far ahead to follow. At least they knew which direction they were.
Daroach: Any bright ideas?
Then, they pondered. Pondered on a solution out. Finally, they drew up some conclusions. The answers to the trapped All Star's problems were: Chewing the rope. All of them were chewing away, except Meta Knight and Daroach. Falco and Fox seemed to be the furthest ahead, due to Falco's beak and Fox's sharp teeth. Daroach and Meta Knight just swung suavely back and forth like a pendulum.
Marth: You two could try helping!
Daroach: Gladly.
Daroach easily teleported out of the trapped and smirked. Fawful almost chocked on a piece of rope.
Falco: You could of told us you could teleport!
Daroach: It was amusing watching you all. Anyways, these ropes are hard to loosen it looks like.
Daroach approached Game and Watch's rope and sliced it with his sharp claws. Game and Watch fell on his head, but he received no injuries due to his scuba helmet. Daroach let everyone else drop on their heads though, and gave them all headaches.
Daroach: Now, we need a marker for this place. In case we get lose or off track again.
Fox: Daroach's hat?
Daroach: NO!
Daroach instead yanked a feather off of Falco's arm. Falco squawked loudly.
Falco: Hands off!
Daroach stuck the feather onto a tree. He then yanked another feather off of Falco.
Falco: Your askin for it!
Daroach placed the feather on the corner of his hat.
Daroach: It looks "suave"
As they all turned around again, Daroach one more plucked a feather off of Falco.
Falco: You better have a good reason for that!
Daroach: No. That time I didn't.
Daroach turned his back on him, and Falco kicked his reflector at the back of Daroach's head, knocking his face into the mud puddle next to the trap.
Daroach: Low blow.
The All Stars continued to walk...and walk...follow by more exciting walking. They became bored and decided to discuss just what species of bird Falco was. Zelda now had Luigi carry her on his back, much to his delight and dismay. She was sick of walking.
Zelda: Like, move faster. I don't weigh that much.
Luigi: I'm trying princess!
Daroach: So Falco, what part of the avian variety are you anyways?
Falco: Dammit, I'm an Falcon!
Falcon: No, I'm Falcon!
Meta Knight: Crow.
Luigi: No, let's not a discuss that all over again!
Game and Watch drew a picture of an ostrich in the sand and pointed to Falco.
Fawful: He's a phoenix! My sureness is like plant labels.
Game and Watch drew a question mark in the ground, then pointed everywhere.
Meta Knight: He doesn't know where we should go... we've been pondering this for quite a while now.
Daroach: Fine, let's split up. Luigi and Zelda, Marth, Fox and Falco, Fawful and Game and Watch, Falcon and Ness, and Meta Knight and myself.
Meta Knight: I work alone.
Meta Knight dashed off looking for his lost blade the Galaxia.
Daroach: Or there's that...alright, let's move!
Waluigi yelled loudly, regarding his non assignment to any group.
Waluigi: You forgot about me! Wa? Waaaaa?
Everyone was already gone.
Waluigi: Fine, I'll find my own way around here!
The group was officially split up, each taking a different path in the forest, hoping to reclaim their weapons soon enough. Luigi and Zelda started off to the North-West. He was still carrying Zelda.
Luigi: Zelda! Please! Can I take a break?
Zelda: But love, don't you want to be with me, Rosalina, and Daisy?
Luigi scratched his chin hair.
Luigi: Fine a. Let's keep walking. Or a me anyways...
Zelda: Thanks a bunch! Hehe. By the way, would you mind helping me eliminate someone who I feel has suspicions of my undying generosity of my actions?
Luigi: W-Who?
Zelda: Oh no one special. Just Marth.
Luigi's mustache drooped.
Ness: Fawcoin, hive anknee eyeideia whear wii arr? (Falcon, have any idea where we are?)
Falcon: Uh, that's nice little buddy.
Falcon and Ness were trudging through heavy mud to the North east. They may of taken the worst path of the bunch.
Falcon: Man, I wish Funky was still here. He'd know what to do!
Falcon then stopped for a second and thought for a second.
Falcon: Actually...no he wouldn't. But he was still a cool guy nonetheless!
In this dark, misty part of the forest, a rustling was heard from behind them.
Ness: Whut wazz dat!?
Falcon armed his fist, flaming at the bit. A shadow swished around the tall tree around them. Falcon hopped up and punched the tree, making it fall to the ground.
Falcon: That should do it buddy- Ness?
Ness was gone, no where to be seen. Falcon glanced to his right, only for a hand to the left to drag him under the mud and tie him up.
Meta Knight was still searching for the location of the weapons. He chose to work alone though so had no help or advice from anyone else. He simply sat lost in the section of the forest he inhabited. Lots of Kricketots and Zubats chirped and squeaked. He pondered lost, then suddenly saw a bright light.
Meta Knight: Finally.
Meta Knight dashed closer, closer to the light. When he reached his objective...he was sitting back on the camp site, alone.
Meta Knight: Failure.
Daroach skidded through the south side of the forest, pushing objects aside, kicking away Koopas that crossed his path, and began to see swirling sands out one of the exits of the forest.
Daroach: Could this be?
Daroach inched a bit closer, approaching the sands slowly before dashing out in defensive mode with Waluigi's racket.
Daroach: ...this is an embarrassment to all armaments out there. Anyways, there's a desert out here?
?: Yes , yes there is. The Gerudo desert to be exact.
