(Series opening theme: Nobody's Listening, by Linkin Park)
Episode Twenty One:
AT THE END OF ALL THINGS! RISE OF EVIL HAND!
No matter.
Everyone has a back up plan...
.... Even me.
*
"Where do we go from here?" Dakota asked as she peered into the Vine Maze.
The Smashers and the Smash Generation had decided that only a select amount of people from both groups should enter the maze to see what was going on upstairs, and the rest should stay behind in case more Slash Elite members were to appear.
The Smashers were sending Link, Ike, Marth, Snake, Captain Falcon and Mario up. Along with them, Lucas, Ness and Toon Link decided that they wanted to go, although Toon Link was going against Zelda's judgement. Young Link had also decided to go with his brothers.
The Smash Generation had a huge argument, 30-Man Brawl, and court order rule on who was going in the maze. In the end, Dakota, Shaun, Todd, Riolu, Tad, Lance, Zel, Rinku, Maven, Aera and Raven were going. The rest had either didn't want to go from the beginning of the fight or were knocked out during the eventful Brawl.
With the winners standing before the Vine Maze, Shiroi and Samze approached and stood in front of them.
"This is going to be dangerous," Shiroi announced. She turned towards the maze, a hand over her heart. "I cannot be sure of the result of the battle between Captain P and Vio... I should stay with you in case one survived and still sees you as the enemy."
"Frankly, I could care less about what happened up there," Samze scoffed as she rolled her eyes. "But it's best that I come, too. You know... to make sure that little Miss I-Blow-Up-My-Neighbour's-Cars here doesn't do anything reckless."
Dakota groaned at that and face palmed. "Mom... Embarrassing me..."
With the two new arrivals, the group entered the maze.
*
"Ay, aye, aye!" Mario exclaimed as he looked up, and up, and up, and up. "This-a maze sure is-a tall!"
"HOLY CRAPOLA!" Dakota agreed instantly as she looked up as well. "I don't think we've ever encountered this thing before!"
The Hyrule siblings agreed.
"We haven't," Zel started.
"If we have, my sister and I would remember it, and we don't," Maven finished.
Aera and Raven, two strange Lylatians, looked at each other with what could be assumed as raised eyebrows.
Aera appeared mostly feline in appearance, but strangely, he had no cat ears and his arms appeared to be wings similar to Falco's. He wore clothing similar to Fox's. Raven, meanwhile, appeared more birdlike, complete with a beak, but she had cat ears and her arms were most certainly not wings. Her clothing more of compared to Krystal's, a pair of nice big boots covering her feet. The two were siblings, with Aera being the oldest, and Raven being the youngest.
Dakota blinked as she scanned the area of the maze that they were in. "So... where do we go from here?"
Shiroi stepped up, in front of the entire group, staring endlessly forward into the maze. "We must go up, it seems. That is where they are - on the floor above us."
Samze scoffed as she, too, looked in the direction. "Problem is... how?"
Zel and Maven took each other's hand, stepping forward and staring towards an entrance into a hall of vines. A Triforce piece appeared on Zel's left hand, her right tightly grasped into her brother's left. On Maven's right hand, a similar marking appeared. Everyone watched in amazement as the twins suddenly turned sharply to the left doorway and Zel pointed.
"It's that way," was all she said.
Dakota was rather confused - no surprise. "Wait! I thought you guys just got warnings! I didn't know you could ask your freaking Triforce for freaking directions! If I had known that SOONER, I would have turned to Shaun when we got lost in the desert that one time!"
Shaun raised an eyebrow at the mention of the desert. "Wasn't I knocked out...?"
The words caused the brunette to appear surprised. "Oh, yeah... So it really wouldn't have mattered..."
The two then realized that they were all alone. Everyone had left without them.
"Hey!!" Dakota cried out, chasing after the group with Shaun at her heels.
*
In the room where a battle had taken place, two bodies were sprawled across the floor, marks on the walls and floor. A black sandal stepped lightly on the tile, a black haired girl similar in appearance to Shiroi Karasu appeared, wearing a black kimono, a black crow perched on her shoulder.
Kuroi, my sweet...
You are my last chance at freedom.
You mustn't let your sister release my brother...
Everything that we have worked hard for will all come to fall if you let this happen.
"Of course, Sire," Kuroi said to apparently the voice in her head. "If I must, I will kill her."
*
The Hyrule twins were once again asking their Triforce pieces for directions. Shiroi suddenly looked up at the ceiling, appearing distraught. She looked back at the group of people surrounding the twins, now nervous.
Kuroi... Shiroi knew that this day would come. She just knew it would. Her crow was suddenly active, cawing at any chance it had.
"Hey."
Shiroi turned to the source of the voice, seeing Captain Falcon appearing a bit mad.
"Can you tell your crow to keep it down...? Please...?"
"Of course. I apologize," Shiroi replied. She placed a hand on her crow and whispered, "Shh.... Shirasu... please..."
Captain Falcon turned back to the group. "Those twins find out the next way to go, yet?"
Lucas, Ness, Toon Link and Young Link all turned to him with frowns.
"No..." Ness replied. "They still have that distant look on."
Snake watched Samze as she grew irritated and started checking her gun, before turning to see Dakota was doing the same thing as she stood next to Shaun, who was fidgeting slightly with his feet. Little did Snake know that Ike was doing the same thing as he stood next to Link.
Suddenly, Zel and Maven opened their eyes, both pointing to an entrance that led to branch stairs.
"We go up, then turn right. We go straight until we reach the end, then turn towards our left. From there should be a flight of stairs. That's all that we were able to get," Zel explained. She looked somewhat upset. "The Triforce then said that we would be able to find our way from there..."
Aera and Raven traded looks.
"Did the Triforce know that each maze my brother tried to complete usually ended in failure?" Raven decided to pipe.
"Hey!" Aera exclaimed as he pointed accusingly at his sister. "They did for you, too!"
"I have a sense of direction. You don't."
"I do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do TOO!"
"Do NOT!"
"SHUT UP!" Samze and Dakota yelled at exactly the same time, deserving glares from Snake, Zel, Shaun and Mario. Marth raised an eyebrow at the display.
"If you would please," Tad directed, pointing at the entrance. "We must head on if we are to succeed and fix the time line. I'm sure we all destroyed the future by now."
Shiroi nodded. "I, myself, would like to finish what Vio has started."
Samze loaded her gun. "Well, if it's going to prevent Roy from being an alcoholic and Red being a borderline suicidal maniac in the Saffron Asylum, let's get going."
Todd grunted, annoyed. "You know, I'm sure my mother is turning in her grave right now..."
Shaun almost smiled at that. "I'm sure all our ancestors are."
"Good point."
"Shall we be going?"
"Before Dakota takes all the glory from the top two fighters? Let's."
*
Back to the dead Vio and Captain P, a small pink slipper stepped on the ground. Approaching Vio, the figure bent down.
"Well, you're not done yet, Vio..." a soft, female voice said, touching his forehead slightly. "But since you're dead, I have no choice... but to..."
Vio's eyes opened, but instead of being the wise eyes of Vio, they were now soft, and emotional...
*
"It's a crossroads," Zel pointed out as they reached the top of the flight of stairs. Four openings lead to four halls. The group of heroes eyed each one warily.
"We should split up into four groups," Snake offered as he stepped over to the one on the far left. "One group goes through the one on the far right, two go into the two middle ones, and then one group comes inside this one with me."
"It should be fair as well," Tad agreed as he nodded.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ike approached the one on the far right. "Alright, then I'll go here."
Samze scoffed and loaded her gun as she approached the one in the middle that was closest to Ike. "I'll go through this one."
Link nodded, approaching the last one. He didn't say anything as he stood there, crossing his arms.
The message was clear to everyone else as they scattered among the four leaders.
Captain Falcon, Ness, Todd, Lance and Tad approached Ike.
Lucas, Marth, Aera and Raven decided they wanted to go with Samze.
Toon Link, Young Link, Rinku, Zel and Maven decided to go with Link.
In the end, Dakota, Shaun, Shiroi and Mario went with Snake.
"Good luck, everyone," Snake wished, as they all entered their chosen hallways.
*
Videl, if anyone still remembers her, sat on what appeared to be a throne as she watched Ike's team approach her from their door. She chuckled as she stood up, removing a gun.
"Did you want to hear a story?" she asked them, as she stepped up to the middle of the room.
"Videl? Lance can't believe she's here!" Lance said in surprise, his wings flitting about. "What is it that Videl wanted to tell?"
"It's an old Karasu legend," Videl said with a smile. "Legend had it that twins would be born that had appeared to have nothing in common - a twin of Light, and a twin of Darkness. The twin of Light would follow the path of Good. The twin of Darkness... why, she'd follow the path of Evil."
"What a strange tale that you tell..." Todd pondered, as he stepped up, staff in hand. "But I don't believe in stories like that... never did."
Videl snapped her fingers, an army of well armoured, well armed, and well built Slash Elite members appearing behind her. She gave the team an evil smile.
"Then I guess it's time for the Smash Generation to die," she said.
*
Link's group arrived in a similar room. What they ran into was a blue haired man tossing a Pokeball up and down as he sat in his own throne. Beside him stood a red haired woman, and a Meowth.
"I'm not sure if I know you," the blue haired man said with a rather dull tone.
Link stared in question at the three. They acted more like puppets than anything - almost as if they had no will.
"But I will still try my best," the red haired woman added.
"Meowth... It's a pleasure to meet you."
"My name is Lucy."
"I'm a puppeteer by trade..."
"Murderer by blood."
"I know that you can't see me..."
"Meowth... and it's a good thing that you can't."
Link's little brothers held on tight to his legs.
"Big Brother... how do we defeat something that we can't see?" Toon Link wondered out loud.
Instead of Link answering, Maven and Zel stood before the group, brandishing needles and whip. Together, they claimed, "You destroy the weapon first."
The fairies escaped the Links' hats, Tsukiko joining Link's side, Navi joining Young Link, and Tallys joining Toon Link.
"We'll help you win this fight!" Tallys said with a cheerful pipe.
"Listen! Do as the twins say!" Navi added.
"It's time," Tsukiko cooly finished.
Link took out his Master Sword and pointed it at the three puppets. "Let's do this."
*
Snake's group wandered into a room with a disgusting smell. The Ancient Minister turned towards Snake.
"R.O.B....?" Snake asked in disbelief. "R.O.B.! What's wrong?!"
"YOU WERE ALL USING ME... I WAS NEVER TRULY PART OF YOUR GROUP."
"That's untrue!" Snake yelled in reply.
Mario nodded as he pointed at the robot. "R.O.B.! You-a are truly one-a of us!"
"I NEVER WAS. I WAS JUST ANOTHER PAWN."
"You-a weren't, R.O.B.! You-a are our friend!"
"I NEVER WAS."
"R.O.B., what's gotten into you?!" Snake demanded to know. "You never doubted us before, why start now?"
"THE VOICES. THEY SAID THAT YOU WERE JUST USING ME. THEY RE-ACTIVATED MY FORMER PROGRAMMING. AS SUCH, I AM THE ANCIENT MINISTER ONCE MORE. THIS TALK IS ALL A WASTE OF TIME."
"R.O.B., you're a Smasher! A son of Master Hand himself!"
"NEGATIVE. I AM NOW THE ANCIENT MINISTER ONCE MORE," Ancient Minister claimed, turning towards some unseen soldiers. "ATTACK THEM. LEAVE NONE ALIVE."
A moan was his reply.
The noise caused Dakota and Shaun to groan in disbelief and ready their weapons.
"Crap," Dakota scoffed. "Zombies."
*
Samze's group was faring quite well. They had yet to run into anyone.
*
"MOVE!" Captain Falcon ordered as everyone dodged an attack from a large Slash Elite member.
"Crap..." Ike cursed under his breath as he removed the Ragnell.
Todd readied his staff once more, Lance took his lance and spun it skilfully, and Tad readied his sword. Ness powered up a PK Fire, Captain Falcon readied a Falcon Punch, and Ike seemed ready to kick ass.
Videl sneered as she pointed at the three SG Members. "The Smashers are not the ones to worry about, my sweets. It's the foolish Smash Generation that we must eliminate. Once they are dead... there is nothing that can stop us, my dears."
The Slash Elite attacked immediately.
Ike swung his Ragnell into about three of them at once, swinging behind him when he noticed one tried to get him from there. When a large number surrounded him, he slammed his sword into the ground, creating a shockwave that knocked them all off their feet.
Captain Falcon was having a grand time using all his signature moves on the Slash Elite members that were approaching him, just daring him to attack them. Falcon Punching one in the face, he turned around to Falcon Kick another that decided to try and get him.
Ness PK Fired five Slash Elite members away into Todd's staff, who swung them into a wall almost immediately before focussing his telepathic powers to levitate the Slash Elite members around him into the air, slowly crushing their insides.
Lance dodged and flew up into the air, coming down quickly on a Slash Elite member with his lance, stabbing him right in the head. Tad hid in the shadows, completely out of sight of the member trying to kill him, before rising up from behind and stabbing him in the back.
Throughout the entire battle, Videl stayed in the background, occasionally firing her gun at one of the Smash Generation members, and missing. Apparently, this was really starting to bug her, as she eventually switched her small rifle to a large machine gun. Aiming her gun, she fired.
Lance was minding his own business, dodging an attack from a Slash Elite member, before a bullet hit him from behind, shocking and freezing him completely. Helpless, he fell from the air, landing on the ground, crushing one of his wings under his weight, but he felt no pain.
Lance was already dead. And before too long, another shot fired and Tad was the one that took the hit.
Tad didn't stand much of a chance against the bullet, either. When Videl tried to fire on Todd, he just used his powers to create a field and send the shot right back to her, hitting her instead, killing her instantly.
At the loss of their leader, the Slash Elite members raced away. Todd, in a small panic, rushed over to be by Lance and Tad's sides, but he knew it was already too late.
A shot fired from above, causing him to look up in surprise.
"Samus...?" he asked himself in confusion.
*
Despite usually being Pokemon trainers and a cat Pokemon, Jessie, James and Meowth were being fist fighters as they acted like puppets for Lucy. Working together, the Links kept James at bay as Rinku focussed on Jessie and Maven and Zel focussed on Meowth.
Before too long, the Links had eliminated James by bashing his head into a wall using Link's Ball and Chain.
Rinku was surprisingly struggling as he strained to hit Jessie across the neck with his sword, but she kept getting away and then trying to choke him. Eventually, Jessie cornered Rinku into a corner.
"Oh, look," Jessie said in Lucy's voice. "I've cornered you. It's time to finish what Captain P couldn't."
Jessie took out of an unseen pocket, a gun. Rinku's eyes widened as he became aware of the last moments of his life.
The sound of the gun going off distracted Zel and Maven from their tag fight against the quick Meowth. Seeing their brother bleeding on the ground as the life stemmed away from him was not quite the image they wanted to see.
Meowth took out a similar gun and fired on Zel, surprising Maven as, in slight revenge, slight reaction, he tore the cat Pokemon's head off with his whip. He then did the same thing to Jessie.
"Oh my... I'm out of puppets. This isn't good... I wasn't done..." claimed the voice of Lucy, still unseen. "I must go warn... her...."
Maven screamed in frustration as he kicked the Meowth by his foot. His ears twitched as he caught the sound of a gun firing from upstairs. He dismissed it as he just collapsed on his knees by his dead twin sister.
Now he knew why his uncle went mad.
*
From the darkness, zombies came out. Dakota and Shaun scowled as they named each zombie for Snake and Mario.
"Marth..." (Dakota)
"Sapphire... She's alone this time..." (Shaun)
"Wario..." (Dakota)
"Jigglypuff..." (Shaun)
"Young Link..." (Dakota)
"Pichu..." (Shaun)
"Donkey Kong..." (Dakota)
"Diddy Kong..." (Shaun)
"Strange... Dr. Mario ain't here..." (Dakota)
"That's-a because we got-a rid of him before," Mario explained, remembering the fight that he had when he broke into the base the first time with Justin and BJ. "We-a stopped him."
"Awesome," Dakota claimed with a smile as she readied her gun. "One less zombie to worry about."
"THERE IS PLENTY TO WORRY ABOUT," Ancient Minister decided to mention. "THE BULLETS IN THE GUNS YOU SEE AROUND YOU ARE PROGRAMMED TO INSTANTLY KILL ANYONE WITH 2029 GENETIC MAKEUP."
"Wha...?"
"He means that there must be some kind of genetic quality unique to us," Shaun guessed as he looked at her. "It must identify the difference in Triforce pieces, as well..."
"Well, duh," Dakota realized. "So, don't get hit by bullets. Got it."
Shiroi brandished a feather sword as Snake readied a gun and Mario readied a fire ball. They were all ready for this fight.
Snake fought the Marth zombie, remembering most of his actions from previous Brawls and thus, figured it would be the easy one for him to take down. Dodging every attack, he kicked at the legs and knees, disabling the legs first before taking care of the upper body.
Shiroi took down Sapphire with ease before turning her attention to the Young Link zombie, recalling a few of his moves from their brief fight.
Mario fire balled the Kongs, continually switching between the two of them. Punching Donkey Kong, he kicked Diddy Kong and dodged both their punches, causing them to hit each other.
"Dull-minded, even-a as zombies," Mario chuckled to himself.
That left Dakota and Shaun with Wario, Jigglypuff and Pichu. You'd think they'd be easy.
The Wario Zombie was - after Dr. Mario - one of the smelliest, rotting zombies of them all. One of his eyes wasn't even secure - it had a tendency to fall out of its socket, hanging by threads of flesh. Pichu was the fastest zombie, hard to hit and rather hard to dodge. Jigglypuff - without vocal cords - couldn't cause you to sleep, but it's stare was the creepiest thing you'd ever faced.
Shaun was taking care of the Pichu zombie. Swinging all around, he was able to hit the fast zombie a few times.
That left Dakota with Wario and Jigglypuff. Quickly getting rid of the Jigglypuff zombie by stepping on her and shooting her in the head, she turned her attention to the Wario zombie, to find herself face to face with the barrel of a gun.
In a corner.
She smirked sadly. So... this is how it ends. Shame... I was expecting to age to 100...
Shaun had just finished off the Pichu zombie, turning his attention to Dakota...
Farewell, Shaun...
A gun fired. Dakota hit the ground.
Shaun didn't even hear the gun upstairs.
*
Before all those other fights happened, Samze and the others reached a flight of stairs.
"Guess we're heading upstairs, huh?" Samze said, as she stepped up. Marth, Aera, Raven and Lucas all followed her.
Just as the fights had started, they reached a door. Standing in the wall was what appeared to be glass eyed doll chained to an anvil. The doll blinked.
"Only one can enter."
Everyone wasn't sure how to react, but Marth pushed Samze forward.
"Only you? Then so be it. The door opens only for you."
The door opened, and Samze walked through.
She came face to face with Vio, and a small Hylian girl with auburn hair. There was something wrong with Vio, something she couldn't place...
The door closed behind her.
"Vio," Samze called, causing the two to turn to her.
"I'm not Vio..." 'Vio' claimed, his eyes tearing up. "My name's Red!"
"Red...?"
"Yeah!" Red rushed up to Samze, falling to his knees and grabbing her shirt. "Please forgive me, Samus! I tried to stop Vio, but he was too strong and I couldn't hold him back for too long, you know! He was so sure that his plan was going to work..."
His eyes flashed a dark blue before they became mean looking. Samze assumed it was another Toon Link.
"But when I get my hands on him, he's dead to me!" This new Toon Link claimed. "I'm going to bash him to pieces with my hammer, no matter what Green says I shouldn't do! Vio's in so much trouble right now!"
Samze nodded, confused as she tried to gesture this new Toon Link to calm down. "I'm sure of that..."
"I mean it!"
His eyes flashed again, this time red. Red returned, and he was once more begging Samze.
"Please forgive Blue! He can be so mean sometimes, but he means well! He just wants to help! He's just so mad that Vio's done this!"
"He's not the only one," Samze scoffed at Red, taking his hands off her shirt. "I, myself, am PISSED."
"Please don't be mad at Vio!" Red begged some more.
"I have no choice but to be mad at him!" Samze demanded. "Do you know how much he's screwed up!?"
Red's eyes flashed a different colour this time - green. Samze had a feeling come to her. She knew him. She watched as this new identity fell to the floor, sobbing sounds coming from him, sounds of rejection, pain and... sorrow? She slowly approached, kneeling down and touching his shoulder.
"Samus..." this new identity said, grabbing her hand. She helped him sit up. "Samus... I'm so sorry... Eight years... It's really been eight years since I've seen any of you... and... for once, I'm... seeing Vio in a different light."
"Toony..." Samze cooed, trying to calm him. "It's not your fault..."
"It's 'Green', Samus.... and, yes... yes it is, my fault. I created him, from memories of my Four Sword adventure... I felt so alone after that, that in my mind, I created them again..." Green claimed as he looked at his hands. "After Young died.... I..."
Samze sadly smiled at him as he reminisced.
"Samus... Can you do something for me...?" Green asked her, looking up with a serious face.
Samze was confused at his words, but she nodded all the same.
"Samus... I... I want you to shoot me."
"WHAT?!" Samze exclaimed, getting up and backing away. "You're.... You're insane! Asking me to do that...! Your brother would kill me!"
"I deserve it, after all I've done... I consciously let Vio take over me, I knew he was going to kill Marth, and I knew that he planned all this..." Green said to her, standing up himself. "And you know what? He saved my life, let me live a whole eight years more than I was planning to. Shoot me, Samus, for I have killed. I killed my brother's best friend, I made myself go insane, without fully meaning to! I'm never going to be okay. I'm never going to become well again. Shoot me, Samus."
Samze panicked slightly. Where did that girl go? Was she still watching all of this? Looking around, it appeared that the girl had vanished off the face of the very Sedaindo. Turning to her gun, she suddenly felt disgusted at the very fact that she was holding it.
"Shoot me, Samus."
Closing her eyes, Samze pointed her gun. She couldn't believe she was doing this right now.
Her finger tightened around the trigger, a shot sounded...
And Toon Link "Green" Hylia hit the ground, blood pouring out of his head.
And Samze suddenly felt like she had lost more than just a friend.
*
Ike and Captain Falcon had just finished helping Todd clean up Lance and Tad's bodies. They had covered them with white sheets that they had found, placing them off to the side of the room.
Captain Falcon patted Todd on the shoulder. "I'm sorry."
The fox just responded by staring at the floor intently, clearly very angry at what had just occurred.
*
The Link Brothers didn't dare approach Maven. His siblings on the ground hadn't even been touched, they were still bent in the ways that they had landed on the ground. He stayed exactly where he was, curled up against the wall, his face in his arms.
"Is he going to be okay?" Young Link asked Link as he looked up at Link.
Link shook his head. "No." Link couldn't even imagine what it must have felt like.
*
Snake, Shiroi and Mario had just seen the worst murder they had ever seen in their entire life. The Wario zombie lay on the ground, completely mutilated, limbs hanging off and the head completely off the body. Shaun now stood before the Ancient Minister, his sword ready.
"You just killed my best friend," Shaun said in a very dangerous tone. "You had better pray that before my sword hits you, one of the others stops me."
"YOU WOULD NOT DARE," Ancient Minister defended, appearing nervous despite its brave words. "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BRAVERY TO DESTROY ME."
"Watch me," Shaun said once more. His sword shook a little, but stayed exactly where it was.
"Shaun!" Snake called out, rushing up to him and holding him back. Shaun tried to stop him. "Shaun, don't do this..."
"He killed Dakota!" Shaun yelled, clearly both hurt and angry at what had just occurred.
Snake was having difficulty trying to keep the boy back, so Mario rushed up to help him. Shiroi also came up, pinching a part of Shaun's neck, causing him to collapse in Snake's arms.
"He will wake up in at most a half an hour," Shiroi told him when he looked at her questionably.
"I... I've never seen him like that before..." Snake recalled, as he brought up the conversation he had with Shaun and Dakota in the living room of the Smash Mansion. He looked up at his future daughter, a lump appearing his throat as he placed Shaun on the ground and approached her. He straightened her body and then moved his hands over her eyes, closing them.
The Ancient Minister looked down somewhat when Mario glared at him.
"Come on," Snake suddenly said, standing up. "Grab Shaun. Let's go regroup and see what happened to everyone else."
*
Everyone else clearly had the same idea, Samze appearing shaken as she fiddled with her gun as she arrived with her team. Looking up at the group, she saw that her daughter was missing. She turned sharply at the now awake Shaun, who looked away.
"No..." She rushed over to him, shaking him violently. "WHERE IS SHE!?"
Shaun didn't say anything. His silence was the only answer she ever needed. Tears came pouring out of her eyes as she stopped shaking him and instead hugged him close to her, surprising him.
"Oh, god..." she sobbed into his shoulder.
*
Kuroi stepped into the room with the dead Green on the ground. Giving the dead body a small smile, an idea came to her that would make even the most insane person squirm. Turning to her crow, she gave it an evil smile.
"Kurasu, my sweet... Get me the bodies of the dead," she ordered. "I think it's time I got my own army of zombies. And, since they're fresh... they'll be even stronger than Captain P's former army."
Kurasu cawed in reply, flying high and out of the room.
"It's time, my little twin sister," Kuroi claimed to herself, as she approached the body of Green. "It's time, for destiny and fate to intertwine. What did your friend do other than completely destroy life? Let's see if you can fix everything..."
*
Meanwhile, Lance and Tad's bodies rested peacefully under the white blankets. If one were to look closer to Lance's body, they would see a light blue glow emanating from his pocket...
*
It's time for: SMASH GENERATION SIDE TRACKS!
__________
Wolf turned to Fox, who appeared like he had just been in quite the fistfight.
"Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes," Wolf told him, a smile on his face. "He saved 800 lives, including yours. I dare you to do better."
Fox gave Wolf a determined smile.
