Chapter 21: The climb!

The three figures were rushing along. For the first time Pichu was looking around at them. Although he couldn't see their faces he noticed that on the youngest one's shoulder was a small black cat that looked down at Pichu and licked its lips. Pichu froze slightly and turned around to look forwards.

They had stopped moving and in front of them was Pikachu's body. Pichu jumped out of the youngest one's arms and rushed to his father. "What happened?" Pichu asked confused. The female approached the body and felt around for any sign of life.

"It appears that he is dead." She muttered. "There appears to be no wounds. Most likely he used up all of his energy."

"There are others scattered across the grounds that are unconscious." The older male sighed. "I'm going to get them."

The youngest male looked down at Pikachu. He placed his hand on Pikachu and electrocuted him acting as a deliberator. Within a few minutes Pikachu was breathing again.

When the older male returned in his tow he had Falco, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Ness, and Young Link. "Others are approaching the tower should we stop them in order to enter as a group?"

"That might be the best course of action since we now know who we are up against." They looked up into the air and saw an Arwing slowly approach them. Out of it came Fox with his blaster at the ready. "Fox long time no see."

"I don't believe that we met!" Fox spat holding up his gun. "Put down the bodies and step away, and I may just be forgiving enough to spare your lives."

"That's alright Fox," The older male laughed. "You wouldn't be able to kill us anyways."

"Who are you?" Fox asked.

"Rai," The youngest shouted out rather excited.

"Tei." The older male sighed.

"Sui" The female replied. "It's only been three years your memory can't be that bad!"

Fox smiled however he didn't drop his gun. "I didn't recognize you with the cloaks."

"I see," Tei sighed. "You won't be convinced we are who we say we are until we remove the cloaks." They each reached for their hoods and revealed their faces. Fox breathed a sigh of relief and put away his blaster. "I'm going to gather the others so we can all go up this tower as a group." With that Tei once again disappeared.

Bowser awoke he didn't know how much time had elapsed. All he knew was that someone was shouting something at him. "Wake up!" A muffled voice shouted. All Bowser could hear was someone banging on glass. It took his eyes a moment to adjust to the dark room but eventually he saw a giant rectangle box with glass across it. Cautiously Bowser approached the box. When he got there he saw a silhouette of a human looking figure.

"Who are you?" Bowser asked.

"I am a prisoner. Sealed here by Giga Bowser for my knowledge." The humanoid figure replied. "I also have the power over dimensions. Please free me!"

Bowser was taken aback by this person's request. "How do I know that this isn't a trap?" Bowser asked.

"You will have to figure that out yourself." He placed his claw on the glass and it quickly shocked him.

Roy was running up the steps. It wasn't long until he heard a voice coming from behind him. "Roy wait up!" Roy grabbed his sword and quickly turned around standing there was Dr. Mario who was able to dodge, as though he was expecting the attack.

"Sorry." Roy hastily apologized. Dr. Mario just glared and began to walk forwards.

They both began to walk each one refusing to talk until Dr. Mario spoke up. "Do you know if anyone else is in this tower?"

"I saw Sheik enter it before me." he responded walking forwards.

Dr. Mario nodded. "We will have to hurry then."

Marth, Mewtwo, and Captain Falcon were fighting against the wireframes. Each of them didn't want to give up and were continuing to fight fiercely.

To be continued...

Sigh... Rai, Sui, and Tei, are my Original Characters and thus owned by me...

Well that was short... especially when compared to the previous chapter (7000 word chapters will not be regular...). And after today's Smash Dojo update I officially can no longer wait (actually I probably couldn't wait way back at E3 2006 but...). Sigh... 121 more days until December 3rd... No I didn't count I just found a countdown clock on the internet and had that do it for me...

Camping was nice... Really wish that I could of brought a laptop... I got one after I came back... that was $700 down the drain... Up next is college books... Sigh... And I was actually looking forwards to buying Metroid Prime 3... cues canned laughter ah well this will at least give me time to FINISH the first two... Well SMG and SSBB are still day one for me I probably should reserve them...
