It was one of the most secretive places in the world. So secret that less than a handful of people around the world are aware of its existence. Everyone that worked there from the security guard, to the man who files paperwork, to the cooks, to the cleaners and even the tea boy are permeant residents there.

Getting to the location is a hassle on its own. First one would have to climb one of god knows how many mountains, which is impossible to climb unless if one is aided up there or if they are exceptionally good mountain climbers, if one were to narrow the exact mountain in the world of trophies.

Then one would have to find a particular cave, which is a challenge upon itself, as there are countless cave entrances to choose from, all of which can take days or even weeks to navigate through. And even if one enters the exact cave they would have to navigate their way through the maze, which is filed with booby traps from lava pits to ice traps and more.

Then one would have to submerge themselves through an extremely deep pool, (that was designed to counter a certain blue hedgehog) and swim through (or receive help through) a maze of underwater caverns which is extremely easy to get lost in.

After one were to submerge through a clearing, they would find themselves in a large cave chamber which had a small concrete shack in the middle of it, which had a fancy door. Had an intruder placed his hand on the doorknob, it would send a 10,000 electrical volt charge that would instantly incinerate the intruder.

And even if one were to bypass all of that, and enter the shack that led to the lift, they still had to face facial recognition spy cameras and sensors on the floors to tell if someone had held someone who had access to the bunker as a hostage, which would result in a hidden gun firing upon the intruder.

Pit hated these security protocols. He shook himself dry from the water that was all over him. He knew that it was unwise to argue with Emperor Mario. He stomped up into the lift that looked like something one would expect to see in a 5 star hotel and pressed a button that was (of course) fingerprint sensitive. Pit heard the good charm and felt the lift shudder as it went slowly down the lift shaft.

Pit looked the same as he always had 5 years ago. Except for the fact that he had changed his arsenal to more 'lethal' weapons. He is now equipped with a flamethrower, a quiver with enough arrows to kill everyone around the world tenfold, machine guns and even grenades.

The lift took what felt like hours to reach its destination, and when the doors flew open, it is to reveal a large meeting room.

The meeting room was both very narrow and very wide at the same time. The room was dimly lit, had a giant glass table in the middle of it that was all surrounded by giant leather throne like chairs, and all the way at the end of the room was a giant TV that took up the entire wall. The air felt as if it was made of ice that was crushing down upon Pit's back.

"Your late." A sharp, icy voice said

"Sorry." Pit said hesitantly "I was…"

"Now is not the time" The sharp voice declared "Take a seat."

Pit flew up, flying up and then diving down onto his seat. He then looked up and down the table, looking at all the austere faces.

On his left was Fox, he was still wearing his yellow lantern corp uniform and he was busily looking at some kind of invincible projection that only he can see. To his right was Samus who had changed very dramatically over the last 5 years. Samus looked more wild, in fact she looked as if she had just been in a fist fight. She had scars all over her face, she had a giant eye patch over her right eye, her hair now resembled a wildfire, she seemed to have gained more muscle and there was a fierce look in her one eye that paralyzed Pit's soul.

In front of him was General Mega Man who was wearing his military uniform complete with his unearned medals that gleamed like stars. General Mega Man seemed to be in the middle of some kind of meditation technique due to the fact that his eyes were closed and he had a false calm expression on his face.

"Now." The voice said, as Pit turned to face Luigi who was at the very end of the table, or to be more precise the far right hand corner if one were to look at the television end of the room. Luigi had changed into a fancy looking suit that one would wear to their daughter's wedding "Since we were interrupted by our late arrival, shall we continue with our monthly report? Fox?"

Fox turned to face Luigi "Sector 14 in the universe had agreed to Mario's terms, after some, persuasion." Fox said robotically "Sector 147, Sector 292 and Sector 618 attempted a revolution, but they were quickly taken care of. Also the, special delivery should be here in four days' time. It took us a while, you know how hard and fragile the cargo is. However, we are currently transporting it all here as we speak."

"Good" Luigi said clapping his hands "Pit?"

"Olympus is under control now." Pit said "The worst thing I had to deal with is a man who nicked a can of cabbage soup. He has been, taken care of"

"I am glad to hear of it." Luigi said, then he turned his attention at Mega Man. "Now. I am aware that you have some news to address."

"Yes" Mega Man said, his voice rich in a commanding tone "A few hours ago my base had been attacked by imposters."

"Imposters?" Pit said cocking his head

"What looked to be that white hedgehog, the yellow fox and what looked to be a perfect copy of me suddenly appeared in my base and attacked my men." Mega Man said without emotion "We attempted to apprehend them, however Zero got involved and managed to get away."

"I beg your pardon" Luigi shouted venomously "You had Zero in front of you, and you failed to apprehend them!?"

Mega Man didn't look fazed at all. On the contrary. He looked pleasantly amused. He returned the favour by saying "And what happened 2 years ago with Zelda?"

Luigi looked as if he had been punched in the face, but he quickly pulled himself together "Very well." He said bluntly "Now, about those, 'Imposters'? Do you think they are a concern. To my knowledge the white one should be under intense care after what happened last month, and we know that the fox should be dead…however we shouldn't rule out the possibility that Sonic got his hands on a…"

Luigi however was interrupted by another voice that boomed throughout the room like an angry God "Well, well, well." The voice boomed, sending vibrations throughout the air.

Pit turned to see the screen had turned on to show the flag of Mario, and nothing else. The room was immediately invaded by the blinding red light like some kind of disease. "Why do I have quite the interesting thing to declare." The voice said

"E…emperor…" Mega Man said, stuttering on each letter on what he said

"Silence!" The voice cried out like a whip, and everyone in the room "I have heard quite the interesting report from you General Mega Man, as well as from a little friend of mine. And I have reason to believe that little blue speed rat, Sonic is once again attempting a coup!"

There was a long deadly pause as everyone stared at the red screen. The voice continued "I want guards at the castles 24/7, we need to guard it. He already has 3, while we have the rest. And Fox. I want the delivary ASAP!"

"I will do as much as I can Emperor." Fox said saluting the screen.

"Good." The voice boomed "It's a shame that Bowser is on holiday, but once he gets back, I am going to need his help on project galitica that will bring strength to our kingdom and stop Sonic once and for all! And when I am done, the entire universe shall be ours!"
