Author's Note: Sorry for the bit of wait folks. I had a busy week, but I'm glad some of you guys are patient! ^^ I hope you enjoy this chapter. OMG, I can't believe a no life doosh is referring to popular music. [*gasp*]

I was listening Beethoven Sonata no. 17 [tempest] 3rd movement and I was inspired to write this chapter. Can you believe classical music can inspire me? The music is just so dark, yet beautiful. ^^ I couldn't help but do a rainy scene.

Chapter 22: A Nightmare Come True

Inside the bar of the Mushroom Kingdom castle town, a group of Smashers were gathered around a table, listening to the radio that stood at the center of it. A loud crackle of thunder was heard from outside and so Mario leaned forward and turned the small dial. The voice on the radio grew louder.

"Can we listen to some rock music?" complained Link.

"Shut up! This is important!" hissed Mario.

Strangely enough, there were no reports on any attack. The radio only babbled on unimportant news.

"Now can I listen to some music?" asked Link.

"Go ahead," sighed Mario.

"So are the villains even attacking the Hyrule Kingdom?" asked Falco as they heard freakishly loud music in the background.

"Don't even try to ruin his moment," said Mario anticipating Falco action.

"Do you know how badly I want to punch Link," grumbled Falco.

"What I've done, I'll face myself, to cross out what I've become!" sang Link once the refrain of the music caused the entire bar to shake. He stood on the poker table and held a beer bottle in front of his mouth as if it was a microphone.

Falco tossed a shot cup at Link's heading, causing him to stumble and fall off the table that he was standing. He landed on the floor face first, with his 'microphone' held in his hand.

"Falco, that was just plan rude," said Mario.

"Hey, he was annoying me," said Falco.

"Do we even have a plan?!?" yelled Fox, who actually cared about the terrible situation that is happening which involved the villains.

"Sorry Fox, we are screwed. Those villains are powerful and besides, Sword and Blade said that they have a plan which involves us waiting," reassured Mario.

"Look, Meta Knight is gone; Jigglypuff left Brawl for good; Bowser Jr. gone nuts; and the villains know our every move! What kind of plan would those fools have!?!" roared Fox.

"You can't possibly lose hope that quick," muttered Mario.

"Hey guys, what's up?" greeted Link.

"I'm gonna drown my misery in vodka," said Fox.

--

"What is this place?" gasped Jigglypuff.

"Please do not be afraid Jigglypuff. I want you to be brave. You can not always have someone by your side. Someday, you will have to endure hard trials on your own. Promise you will remain strong, for me at least?"

Jigglypuff frantically looked in every direction, searching for the source of the voice: Meta Knight. There was nothing but darkness.

"Do not worry about me Jigglypuff, I am fine. You should be more worried about yourself because you are a fugitive. Even in the bleakest situation, do not lose hope. I am watching you my dear."

"WAKE UP JIGGLYPUFF!"

--

Jigglypuff woke up after the long turbulent filled landing. Yellow Yoshi was already by the door waiting for Jigglypuff to wake up. Yellow Yoshi carried a small bag which hung on her shoulder and she already took off the pilot uniform.

"What do you have in there?" wondered Jigglypuff.

"You don't have to worry about that. I like carrying a special something in case something bad happens," said Yellow Yoshi.

She opened the door.

"Be careful Jigglypuff, it is raining very hard," said Yellow Yoshi, "and there is no umbrella."

"Oh that is alright, a little rain won't hurt us," reassured Jigglypuff.

Yellow Yoshi pulled the door open and walked out of the spaceship. Jigglypuff followed behind and she was already soaking wet from the heavy rain that was falling from the sky. Jigglypuff looked at the menacing sky. The air was hot and sticky and a loud thunder roared, shaking the spaceship garage slightly.

"Jigglypuff, you look uneasy," said Yellow Yoshi.

"It just the weather," replied Jigglypuff.

They ran toward the castle town as the rain continued to pour from the sky. A lightning would occasionally rip the sky and a loud thunder would accompany it seconds after. The street sides were flooded from the rain trying to enter the storm drain. They walked by the recently constructed road, which lead straight to the castle town of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Yellow Yoshi fell to her knees at the sight of the destroyed castle. Her hands were on the ground as the she looked at the remains of the castle. The flag barely stood on to the pile of rubble, yet the flag continue to wave as the storm wind stirred.

"How can this happen? Are we too late," muttered Yellow Yoshi.

"I'm sorry Yellow Yoshi, we couldn't defend the castle, we tried our best," said Lucario.

He walked up to Jigglypuff and Yellow Yoshi and stood between them. He too was gazing at the scene of destruction.

"They were too powerful. I couldn't do anything," added Lucario.

"That's okay. As long as everyone escaped the castle safely, everything is fine," muttered Yellow Yoshi, yet she felt the same way as Lucario. They were both feeling regret from the defeat.

"So where are the other Smashers?" asked Jigglypuff.

"Everyone is at the bar," said Lucario, "except for me. I just feel so much regret from letting this happen. I cannot believe Meta Knight left us. I just hope our plan will not fail."

"Why don't we go to the bar and see what is the next plan?" asked Jigglypuff.

"Very well then."

The rain continued to poor from the sky, yet they were walking as if it was a dry day. Once they arrived at the bar, the Smasher completely stopped what they were doing. Zelda ran up to Jigglypuff and hugged her.

"Oh Jigglypuff, I really missed you!" exclaimed Zelda, as Jigglypuff endured the tight hug. "I am so sorry for what Master Hand did you to!"

"Oh that's alright," gasped Jigglypuff. Zelda quickly let go of Jigglypuff.

"So what is the plan?" asked Mario.

Sword and Blade merely looked at each.

"Okay guys. You're gonna think we're superstitious freaks, but this is the ONLY way we can have a chance at defeating the villains," said Sword.

"Look, we are VERY desperate," growled Zelda, "just tell us the plan and we will stick with it."

"Well, I think you may have heard of a legend that a Pure Heart can communicate with someone even if they are physically gone. I know its not telepathy, but it's a pretty cool ability in which you can talk to people. I don't know how he can communicate, but I'm sure Meta Knight will find a way if he really love Jigglypuff. Basically, we are going to take a chance to see if Jigglypuff can talk out Meta Knight," explained Sword.

"That has got to be the STUPIDEST plan ever!" cried out Fox.

"Do you have a better plan!" roared Blade.

"Yeah, kick the villains' ass."

"We tried and failed utterly," said Mario.

"Then I guess we're doomed," sighed Fox.

"I think it is best if we go with the plan," said R.O.B.

"Let's go to the Hyrule Kingdom. We will ride on the Star Fox which is big enough to fit everyone," said Fox.

--

"I see that your little vacation worn off your strength," taunted 'Meta Knight.'

He held his sword out at Master Hand, who was lying on the ground suffering from severe injury. Crazy Hand was in a just as bad state.

"We failed to defend the Hyrule Kingdom," muttered Master Hand, "they are just too powerful."

"And you are correct. I shall spare you for now, so the Smasher can see our strength. Good riddance."

Meta Knight turned around and looked at the innocent people who were watching the defeat of Master Hand and Crazy Hand the entire time. His eyes glowed a menacing red as he withdrew his sword and slashed one of the townspeople. The town went into a state of panic after witnessing the sudden attack.

Other villains soon joined Meta Knight in destroying the town. They ransacked and burnt many homes and stores.

The destruction, for some reason it satisfied Meta Knight…or to be precise Tabuu. He stood on a roof, watching the destruction he had caused.

--

"I refuse to see this destruction. This is not me, this is Tabuu. I am capable of controlling my curse."

--

Meta Knight wrapped himself in his tattered cape as he watched the mass destruction of a whole city. People were screaming in terror as building collapsed and homes burned. The whole sky was a fiery red.

"Why did you do this!" cried out Yellow Yoshi, "you killed so many innocent people. Don't let your curse take over you!"

Meta Knight only stared at the Yoshi, with no emotion.

"M-Meta Knight.."

"I am not Meta Knight you foolish creature. I am Tabuu, and so you are the only Pure Heart left in this pitiful universe!" yelled Meta Knight who jumped off the burning.

"What?" gasped Yellow Yoshi, "no, Meta Knight is not gone. He can't be, he IS there and I will prove it!"

"Meta Knight!" shouted Jigglypuff, "I know you are there, please listen to me! Don't let Tabuu take over your mind. You can control youself!"

"But how can you take over Meta Knight's body if he wasn't angry?" wondered Link.

"Oh, but when Jigglypuff told Meta Knight why she accidentally poisoned him, he was very angry. Not at Jigglypuff though, he was angry at Knightmare for deceiving her," explained Tabuu.

"Since Meta Knight is cursed, you can take over his body when he is angered. That is what Knightmare tried to do back in the Smash tournament, but I got in the way when Meta Knight got angry. I can still remember the pain of that stab," muttered Yellow Yoshi.

"Now if you please, I will continue my destruction," added Tabuu.

"Speaking of chaos heart, where is Bowser Jr." asked Yellow Yoshi.

"Looking for me!" shouted Bowser Jr. all of sudden.

Yellow Yoshi looked up and smiled at her friend, as he stood next to Meta Knight. She began to shiver at the sight of the young Koopa prince.

"Jr., are you with them?" asked the Pure Heart.

"I have joined the villains Yellow Yoshi. I want to spread destruction. It feels so good, why don't you join me?" offered Bowser Jr., "everything is hopeless for you, you are up against me and Tabuu. Those Smashers are too weak to take care of us. What do you say?"

Yellow Yoshi's hand trembled. Why would Bowser Jr. ask her to join him? She looked up at Bowser Jr. She promised Bowser that she will never separate from him, no matter what. She walked up to Bowser Jr. and faced the Smashers.

"I'm sorry guys," muttered the Yoshi.

"What the hell. Did you just betray us!?!" roared Link.

"My, you have made a wonderful choice," said Tabuu. "We shall continue on with out destruction at the castle town of the Mushroom Kingdom and neighboring towns."

"Yellow Yoshi, please don't go with them. This was not what I meant!" shouted Bowser all of a sudden. He was the last one to arrive at the scene.

"Ignore him! Once you're with us, you stay with us!" roared Bowser Jr.

"You know what, I change my mind. I refuse to be with you! You are not Bowser Jr.! You are…I don't know what you are, but you are NOT Bowser Jr.!" yelled Yellow Yoshi.

"How dare you!" roared Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr. slapped Yellow Yoshi on the cheeks. His claws dug into her skin, causing blood to seep from the claw marks. She dropped to the ground, but Bowser Jr. grabbed her wrist and lifted her.

"I don't know why. I love the smell of your blood," said Bowser Jr., giving off a creepy smile.

The rain continued to pour from the sky. A lightning struck directly behind Bowser Jr. His evil eyes glowed as he glared at the Smashers. Tabuu wrapped himself in his cape as he began to chuckle slightly.

"I'm okay," muttered R.O.B, who attempted to do a sneak attack from behind, but he was struck by a lightning.

"What were the chances! R.O.B, you are a bad luck magnet!" cried out Link.

"That girl is really foolish," muttered Tabuu.

"Are you talking about me?!?" roared Link.

"I was talking about the Yoshi you idiot," retorted Tabuu.

"Let go of my sister!" roared Green Yoshi.

Green Yoshi ran up to Bowser Jr., but Tabuu jumped in the air and sliced the air, causing a large sword beam to form. The sword beam struck Green Yoshi and tossed him into the pile of debris.

"Brother!" cried out Yellow Yoshi.

"Meta Knight, please try to snap out!" shouted Jigglypuff.

"Meta Knight is gone!" yelled Tabuu.

"Please snap out of it! Meta Knight is there! Listen to me Meta Knight, it's me Jigglypuff…I can't lose hope."

"Aww, is Jigglypuff crying for her little boyfriend?" taunted Bowser Jr. who still held on to Yellow Yoshi.

"Let go me," muttered Yellow Yoshi.

Bowser Jr. merely gripped the Yoshi even tighter, causing Yellow Yoshi to bit her lips from the pain.

"Are you trying to break my wrist?" grumbled Yellow Yoshi.

"If you continue to struggle then I will!" roared Bowser Jr.

"Dude, throw a fireball on his face!" cried out Red.

"It's not that easy Red," said Lucario, "you got to understand that she does not want to hurt him. Why did you think she wanted to join them in the first place?"

"I just thought she was stupid."

"Hey guys, Green Yoshi is not getting up and he is bleeding a lot. I am getting worried," said Link who was standing by Green Yoshi's side. "Don't just stand there, attack those retarded villains!"

"If you dare attack us I will kill Yellow Yoshi," said Bowser Jr. holding his claw out by Yellow Yoshi throat.

"I will rush Green Yoshi to the hospital, he's dyin!" cried out Link.

"Go ahead Link!" yelled Mario.

Link called for Epona and the horse came rushing to him.

"Sorry that I made you come into the city, but this is an emergency," said Link to his horse.

He placed Green Yoshi on the horse and Link rode away.

"How could you do that to my brother!" cried out Yellow Yoshi.

"Hey, he tried to attack and I tried to defend," said Tabuu.

"Now witness the last Pure Heart getting cursed," said Bowser Jr.

"Wait, what are you doing?" gasped Yellow Yoshi, "you are going to kill me?"

"What are you talking about? On the contrary, those who are cursed live for thousands of years. Did Meta Knight even mention how long did he serve Knightmare? Let's not waste any time shall we?"

Bowser Jr. held his claw and glared at the Smashers. "Are you Smashers even going to do anything?" taunted the Koopa Prince.

The Smashers were utterly clueless. After what Tabuu did to Green Yoshi, they were completely defenseless.

"I feel so hopeless," muttered Capt. Falcon.

"Don't give up hope guys! We can't!" cried out Jigglypuff.

"Do you even notice that Master Hand and Crazy Hand are lying on the ground, beat up!"

"We just can't let them do this to Yellow Yoshi. There is no cure for the curse! Green Yoshi practically risked his life for his sister, we can't let that effort be put in vein. We should take advantage that Bowser Jr. is taunting us," said Jigglypuff.

"Guys, this was my fault. Don't worry about me anymore. Just let fate do what it have to do…farewell guys," said Yellow Yoshi.

Yellow Yoshi grabbed a dagger from her bag. She grasped the dagger and a teardrop fell out her eye. She stabbed herself in the chest.

"Yellow Yoshi!" cried out Bowser Jr.

He allowed the Yoshi to fall in his hands.

"If she killed herself, then the curse won't work…" gasped Bowser Jr., "please don't do this to me Yellow Yoshi! Please don't leave me so soon!"

Bowser Jr. began to sob. He nuzzled the Yoshi and held her in his arm.

"And who do we blame for letting all this happen: Jigglypuff," said Tabuu.

The rain continued to pour from the sky...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This has got to be the biggest twist I ever made. [*gasp*]. LOL, R.O.B could have taken down the villains, but he was struck by lightning. What were the chances? Well, he is all metal! O.o Oh if you wonder where did Yellow Yoshi get a dagger: did you remember when Jigglypuff asked Yellow Yoshi about the bag? That should have been a foreshadow! ;D

I have no comment because this came all of a sudden in my mind. I guess my mind was trying to tell me that it was inevitable. TT_TT You know, two perfect people gone from the world. It like, the world was not meant for perfect people. Remeber: Pure Heart NEVER did a sin in their life...well yeah Yellow Yoshi hijacked a ship and did some other stuff, but it was for good intention. :) Meta Knight only STRETCHES the truth. He can tell the truth by lying. O.O

But isn't there always a saying: no one is perfect? They have their own weakness. What is their weakness? That can easily be figured out: they care too much for others.

This has got to be such an awesome cliff hanger. You guys are so lucky that this is the weekday. Heck yeah there will be a quick update! ^^
