Dark Pit and Palutena were both thinking an evil thought. Conveniently, their target was approaching them down the hall. Meta Knight was sipping his cup of coffee of breakfast, unaware of a fate worse than death. Without warning, Dark Pit tripped the masked puffball up and over. Palutena, seeing her cue, dashed in front of Meta Knight and ripped off his mask.
Lucina was stiff. When Meta Knight had recovered, without his mask, He. Looked. SO CUTE! Not knowing what had come over her, she quickly dashed over to Meta Knight, squishing him in her embrace. It no longer mattered of his dark and brooding reputation. He was so adorably cute, and that was all that mattered to her…
Meta Knight couldn't process the events faster enough. "U-unhand me chi...ld…!" he tried to yell. "N-never, Meta Knight! You're to cute to let go!" Lucina squealed like a fangirl. "Snap out of it, Lucy!" Robin begged his wife in vain. "Give me back my mask, Palutena…" Meta Knight barked. Palutena put on an innocent look, before throwing the mask out the window, and succumbing to Meta Knight's cuteness.
Pit was worried when he saw every female Smasher squish Meta Knight while in their cute trance. "STOP IT!" he yelled, lunging for the mob. Palutena, still under the cuteness' spell, knocked Pit off course, and raised her staff to end the 'threat'. "I see it. GRAAHH!" cried Shulk, as he canceled out the blow and knocked the goddess into the wall. As Pit's mouth opened agape, Shulk explained,"Visions of the future," and pointed at his forehead.
At this point, multiple waves of cute-crazed maniacs began pouncing on the resistors, determined to nullify them to keep their cute, cute happiness. As Pit and Shulk fought valiantly, Kirby and Bowser somehow threw Meta Knight out of the little kerfuffle. "We gotta find my mask," Meta Knight ordered, "Bowser, Robin, King Dedede, hold the girls off! Pit, Shulk, Kirby, you're with me." Bowser, Robin, and King Dedede held down the fort as best as they could, giving the four Smashers an opening. Meta Knight, more eager than usual, set off with his crew to find the missing mask.
While Palutena threw the mask rather far, Meta Knight's precise vision tracked it's location to… Desert Canyon. The boys trekked aimlessly, looking for the mask that would save the female Smashers from eternal cuteness submission. Everyone was complaining, even Meta Knight! Before everyone could lose their heads, Shulk had a vision. Without speaking, he activated his Speed Monado Arts, and took off without a word!
Meta Knight's cute face burned with anger. "After him!" he yelled, as Meta Knight donned his wings, Pit summoned the Power of Flight, and Kirby summoned his trusty Warp Star. It took them a few minutes to catch up to Shulk. When the blond haired foreseer looked behind his back, he slashed his sword at the group. "Get back!" he cried, narrowly missing. Had Shulk gone insane?
Meta Knight didn't get a chance to yell, and Kirby didn't get a chance to cry. Out of nowhere, tentacles of darkness began grabbing at Shulk, surrounding him in their dark shadow. His teammates looked in horror. "Follow the one trails behind! He lead you to the m-" Those were Shulk's supposed last words, before the tentacles dragged and buried him into the sand.
Surprisingly, a lone tentacle was left behind, and it made no haste as it scurried away. Pit wasted no time staying hot on its heels, and the two puffballs followed his lead. Finally, the tentacle disappeared in the shadow of a cave. Spikes of rocks were surrounding a small pool in this cave. And in the center, would you believe it, was Meta Knight's mask.
Meta Knight rushed toward the pool, but was blocked off by a figure emerging from the shadows. It was comprised entirely of darkness, showing the silhouette of both a man and a sandstorm. "I am the Void…" it eerily whispered. "And you,..." the creature took a step back, and it's eyes glowed red,"ShAlL dIe HeRe!" A mountain of tentacles lunged at the warriors. Though caught off guard, they fought to the near death.
This is where there unmarked grave would lay. They would meet the same fate as Shulk, but to a more grim end. Meta Knight, still slashing tentacles, knew this would be true. He began to let himself take the bruises, and his teammates non-purposefully followed his lead. Nothing was left to save, and as the world grew silent, save the bashing against their bodies, Meta Knight new it was all ov- "FALCON… PUNCH!"
Captain Falcon had somehow sneaked out of the mansion, and his fiery fist had gone straight through the creature's chest. The tentacles were stunned, and Pit wasted no time shooting his bow at the mask, freeing it from its Earth Spike. "No!" the Void yelled, summoning tentacles to take back the mask. Shulk, who somehow escaped the creature's grasp, slashed the tentacles to bits. The creature jumped in desperation.
"No PeAcE sHaLl CoMe To PaSs oN tHe SmA-!" The creature was cut off from Kirby landing a fiery hammer into its head. As the creature was temporarily blinded, Meta Knight, behind Kirby, grabbed and put on his mask. "I've had enough of you, Void" Meta Knight ominously proclaimed, slicing the creature in half. The Smashers' potential worst nightmare… faded to ashes.
As the Smashers out in the Desert Canyon (and Captain Falcon) made their way back to the mansion, it seemed Meta Knight donning his mask yet again had immediate effects! You see, when he put the mask on, the girls in a cute trance fainted, waking up back to their normal selves. They were a little tired though, seeing as how they burned through their energy like maniacs when under the spell. The Smashers welcomed back Meta Knight and his crew (even Captain Falcon) with a feast! They welcomed Dark Pit and Palutena… with 99 KOs. Can't win them all...
