THE WORST KIDNAPPING PLOT EVER - PART 3
The Puppits swarmed over the pit, looking at the Smashers down below like they were part of a zoo exhibit. Wario was getting punched in all directions by the angry children, which is justifiable because A, it's his fault that they're in this mess in the first place, and B, he's an asshole and he deserves it.
"Ow! Jeez! Wait a minute, how did you creepy things know about my plan? Oof!" screeched Wario.
"We DiDn'T. wE mErElY tOoK aDvAnTaGe Of YoUr PlAn." said the leader Puppit smugly.
"What are you going to do to us?" asked Nana, shaking in fear and anger.
"FiRsT, wE nEeD tO cOlLeCt AlL oF tHe OtHeR sMaShErS iN tHiS fOrEsT." The Puppit looks off in a different direction. "aH yEs, HeRe'S oNe Of ThEm NoW." Another Puppit flies over the hole and drops Meta Knight down into the hole; he was tied up in chains, preventing him from flying out of the hole and kicking Puppit ass.
"Ha ha! You got trapped in here!" laughed Wario.
"Says the person who's also trapped in... wait a minute, Wario? Why are you here? Did you orchestrate this whole thing?" questioned Meta Knight.
"Er... no. It's all the Puppits' faults. Yeah." lied the fat man.
"He's lying!" shouted Ness.
"The kid's delusional."
"Okay, what will you guys do after you gather the others and throw them down here?" asked Popo.
"We WiLl ThRoW eXpLoSiVe CrAtEs DoWn ThErE aNd ThEn ThRoW a ToRcH iN; tHeRe WiLl Be No SuRvIvOrS. wE wIlL bUrY yOuR aShEs AnD tRoPhIeS, aNd YoU'lL aLl LiE dOwN hErE, fOrGoTtEn."
There was an eerie silence, with all the Smashers legitimately horrified by this. Meta Knight was the only one with the courage to speak up. "Isn't that a little dark for this story?"
"YeS, yEs It Is."
"There was that arc where I went on a killing spree though. Good times." chirped Lucas.
"OkAy, MaYbE iT iSn'T sO dArK." admitted the leader. "wE wIlL rEtRiEvE tHe ReSt Of YoUr FrIeNdS. uNtIl ThEn, YoU mAy WaIt PaTiEnTlY fOr DeAtH." The Puppits all flew away, leaving the Smashers alone in the chasm.
"...Can you get off my arm now?" Toon Link asked Wario.
Lucario and Falco were still walking through the woods, still having a bit of an easy time. Suddenly, Lucario spotted something; far in the distance, he could see a deep hole in the ground with several people in it. Before he could point it out to Falco, he saw something else: the hordes of Puppits coming to capture them.
"Falco?"
"What?"
"RUN!" said Lucario, pointing at the Puppits at the front of the pack. He formed an aura sphere and threw it at them, causing an explosion. The two Smashers turned around and started to run away, both of them firing aura spheres and lasers at the creepy wooden bastards. Suddenly, something grabbed Lucario by the leg; a Puppit was hiding in a pile of leaves on the forest floor.
"WhErE dO yOu ThInK yOu'Re GoInG?"
"AAAAAHHH!" screamed Lucario, kicking the Puppit away. However, before he could stand up, he got tackled and pinned to the ground by several more Puppits. Falco didn't bother to help, and instead, he kept running. He quickly ducked behind a log and took out his cell phone.
Meanwhile, in the Landmaster, King Dedede was listening to girly Icelandic pop songs.
"Disco girl, coming through, that girl is yooooouuuu..." sang Dedede. He was interrupted when he heard his cell phone ring; he quickly turned off his music before answering the phone. "Hello?"
"Dedede, get the Landmaster over here, now!" shouted Falco over the phone.
"But what if it has to go through a do-"
"All of the trouble is in this dimension! Just come here and help! Huh? Oh, you want a piece of me? Take this!" said Falco. Dedede heard sounds of fighting and struggling before the line went dead.
Dedede gulped. He may definitely be safe in the Landmaster, but the problem is, he had no idea how to pilot it. "I wonder what this button does." He pressed a button at the controls and suddenly the Landmaster speeds off into the forest, causing Dedede to scream his head off.
"We FoUnD tHe ReSt Of ThEm." said one of the Puppits as they brought in Falco and Lucario. The two were immediately dropped into the hole; by then, Meta Knight had gotten out of his chains, but the circle of Puppits around the surface were a good enough defense that he kept getting hit back in.
"Don't bother escaping." grunted Meta Knight with frustration.
"Alright then... can you guys bring us up to speed? We're not sure why a bunch of magical puppets threw us down this hole." said Lucario.
"Wario tricked us into this hole, the Puppits took advantage of it and pushed him in, and now we're going to die a flaming death, and we will never be found again. Thanks a lot Lord Asshole." said Ness.
"No problem." said Wario.
"OkAy, EvErYoNe Is GaThErEd HeRe. BrInG tHe CrAtEs AnD fLaMiNg ImPlEmEnTs." commanded the leader. Before the Puppits could scramble and do that, one Puppit came up to the leader.
"SiR, tHe BiRd SmAsHeR wAs CoNtAcTiNg SoMeOnE oN hIs PhOnE!"
"WhAt? WhO cOuLd He HaVe BeEn CoNtAcTiNg?" That question was quickly answered when the Landmaster barreled through the forest, running over trees and Puppits close to the ground. The high-tech tank uneasily turned to face the monsters. Within the Landmaster, King Dedede was quickly scanning through a manual to learn how to control the thing. He pressed a button, attempting to activate the Landmaster's speakers so he could address the Puppits.
"Disco girl, coming through, that girl is yo-" The music played out loud and was rapidly silenced as Dedede's voice came on air. "Uh... that was the wrong button." The Smashers down in the pit were both cheering and laughing.
"WhAt. WhAt Is ThIs." said the leading Puppit.
"Dedede! Kick his ass!" shouted Falco.
"No! YoU wIlL nOt StOp U-" said a random Puppit before getting completely vaporized by the Landmaster's cannons, along with all the other unfortunate saps floating next to him. The Puppits flew at the Landmaster and started slashing at it, trying to pull Dedede from it; the penguin countered by making the tank spin, throwing all the Puppits off and he finished them off by shooting them. The Puppit leader watched in disbelief; a quarter of his forces were already decimated.
"ReTrEaT! wE wIlL hAvE oUr ReVeNgE lAtEr! YoU hAvEn'T hEaRd ThE lAsT oF uS sMaShErS! wE wIlL bUiLd OuR oWn TaNkS aNd-" The Puppit leader ducked, dodging a Landmaster shot aimed at him.
"Yeah yeah, you'll get revenge. Look, all villains say that, and even I say that sometimes. Get lost already!" said Dedede, firing a warning shot into a group of trees. The wooden horde was forced to retreat into a door into the other dimension. Their leader gave the tank a cold glare before retreating into the door himself.
"Yay! We're saved!" said Toon Link. Dedede awkwardly drove the Landmaster into the pit to rescue the people inside, accidentally landing on the cartoon Link. "...Oof."
A hatch on the back of the Landmaster opened up, with Dedede at the opening to greet them. "Get in guys!" The kids and adult Smashers eagerly went in; before Wario could enter though, Falco turned around and kicked him in the crotch.
"What was that for...?" said Wario weakly.
"Everything." said Falco, closing the door behind him and leaving Wario behind. "Alright Dedede, take us home."
"Wait, you're letting me drive the rest of the way?" repeated Dedede in astonishment.
"Yup. You've earned it." Dedede excitedly got behind the controls and started to make the Landmaster rise out of the pit. Meanwhile, Meta Knight was confronting the child Smashers.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Meta Knight.
"We almost burned to death, but yeah, we're doing fine." said Ness.
"I'm traumatized. Again." said Lucas.
"My whole body's crushed. I'll get over it." said Toon Link.
"I promise not to pick up random maps anymore!" exclaimed Popo.
"That's good." said Meta Knight.
"I don't!" said Nana.
"That's good enough." sighed Meta Knight. Lucario was looking out the front window of the Landmaster when he noticed something hanging at the tip of the cannon.
"Wait, what's that?" said Lucario, pointing outside. Then, the thing starts pulling itself up the cannon; it was Wario.
"Wahaha! The Garlic King has escaped!" laughed Wario triumphantly. Dedede silently pressed a button and activated the cannon, blasting Wario off of it.
Falco gave him a pat on the back. "Nice! Maybe I could get you your own Landmaster."
"Really?"
"No. You could steal Wolf's though."
"Yeah!"
"If we drive fast enough, we could reach Smash Castle before lunchtime." announced Lucario.
"Hell yes, let's go!" cheered Dedede, driving through the trees and away from this death trap place. Back near the pit, Wario had luckily (for him) landed outside of the hole, but was badly charred.
"Oh, ThErE's A sMaShEr LeFt BeHiNd?" said the creepy voice of the Puppit leader. The door that lead to the other dimension opened back up as the Puppit leader floated back out.
"Hey, why are you even targeting me anyway? Those loser Smashers threw me out! I'm not a Smasher anymore." said Wario.
"ReAlLy? HoLd On, ArE yOu ThE gArLiC kInG?"
"Yeah! Have you heard of me?"
"YoU hElD fIrSt PlAcE iN tHe 'LiSt Of TeRriBlE fIcTiOnAl LeAdErS.'"
"...Yeah! First place! The Garlic King is number one!" cheered Wario before groaning in pain.
"I'm SoRrY tHeN. wE oNlY pLaN oN tAkInG rEvEnGe On ThE cUrReNt SmAsHeRs." The floating puppet turned around to enter its own dimension when Wario perked up.
"Wait, hold on! I have beef against those losers too!" Wario made an evil smile. "Will you help me in my plan to take over those losers' castle?"
