M.G: Is there something supernatural about "crossing the anger point?"
Game2002: It's just people going crazy because of uncontrollable rage. There's nothing supernatural about it.

Sorry for the long wait... I had serious writer's block and also got distracted by several things. There's also work taking up my time...

Also, forgot to mention that Dr. Blak is my OC, though those who read the past installments should know this already.

Chapter 6
Dawn of the Living Uneasiness

What happened that day at World YB was no laughing matter. Lucina made haste to let the president of the country she was currently in, Horton, know about this. Hearing this, the president, normally a cheerful man, became worried. "This sounds like a big problem indeed... I didn't think this would happen again..."

"Indeed, I cannot believe that this is happening again..." said Lucina. "The people of World OYB are more dangerous than I thought... I am still having a hard time believing their claim of having defeating our military forces there..."

"And now you are locked in this world with no way of contacting your world for help..." said Horton.

"I'm sure the people of my world will realize this and do something about this eventually," said Lucina. "All we can do now is hope that World OYB do not launch an all-out invasion before they arrive to help."

"Would be nice if our comrades come over to help now..." said Luigi.

"Speaking of which, are there any more of you people here?" Lucina asked the Smashers.

"Nah, we're the only ones here," said Kirby. "We've got nothing better to do, and since Master Hand is staying at our place teaching some of the stronger ones about hockey or whatever that energy thingy is called, we decided to come here for fun."

"Seems like we've picked a bad time to come over..." said Yoshi.

"Actually, I think we've picked a good time to come over, because I'm sure our strength is needed here at times like this," said Gunner.

"I would prefer that something like this didn't happen..." said Luigi. "Why can't we have peaceful vacations for once...?"

"I'm quite used to it, actually," said Kirby.

Since there was no idea on where World OYP would invade next, it was decided that the yukkuri lab's safety was top priority at the moment, but there were still eyes on various parts of the city, just in case.

Lucina and the Smashers were stationed at the lab, inside a large room filled with yukkuris, all of which were placed in terrariums for their safety. With a serious expression on her face, Lucina looked around and occasionally looked out the windows on the door to see if anything was wrong. She then turned around to look at the Smashers, who were ready to defend the place as well. She couldn't help but question their way of arming themselves, though.

Luigi was wearing a pot on his head and holding a spatula in his hands, Kirby wore a chef's hat and wielded a frying pan and a ladle, Yoshi also wore a pot on his head and was warmed with a frying pan, and both Duck and Hunt had metal cups strapped over their heads. Gunner was the only normal-looking one, having only her arm cannon ready.

"Are those getup really necessary...?" she asked them.

"Just because I've been through stuff like this countless times in the past doesn't mean I enjoy it..." Luigi told her while trembling slightly.

"It's never wrong to be fully prepared," said Kirby while brandishing the knife.

"Agree, especially when we don't really get into fights as much as the others," said Yoshi.

"Please, realize osmething is wrong and come save us and help us with this already..." said Luigi, refering to the rest of the Smashers.

Master Hand went back into the room containing the transdimensional machine and asked the Red Alloy, who was playing Pokemon Moon on the 3DS. "Are they not back yet?" The Alloy shook his head in response without looking up. "They sure are taking their time... Must be having lots of fun there. Oh well, I'll let them enjoy. It wouldn't be nice to cut short their enjoyment." And then he left.

Lucina and the Smashers with her waited and waited. Nothing happened at all. After an hour passed, they started doing different things to pass time. Lucina played with the yukkuris, Luigi was reading a magazine, Kirby and Yoshi were eating snacks and sharing them with yukkuris, Duck and Hunt were both sleeping, while Gunner was the only one doing her job seriously.

Another hour passed by. Lucina was back on "job mode." Luigi had fallen asleep on the floor with the magazine covering his face. Kirby was asleep as well, and Yoshi was playing with the yukkuris. Duck and Hunt were still asleep, and the latter was lying on his back with his front paw on his tummy and his tongue out. He was sleeping like a human. Gunner ended up playing with yukkuris.

Another hour passed, and Lucina was seen feeding a koyukkuri milk through a baby bottle. Luigi was reading another magazine. Kirby was eating snacks, and Yoshi was asleep. Duck was walking around to kill time, while Hunt was looking bored. Gunner was playing Pokemon Sun.

"Is everything all right inside?" Dr. Furhead shouted from outside all of a sudden.

"Everything's A-OK!" said Kirby with a mouthful of potato chips.

That night, at Smash Mansion, all the Smashers present were having dinner. "Where are Mister Luigi and the others?" asked Pit, looking at the empty seats.

"No idea," replied Fox. "They haven't called at all to let Master Hand know what they're up to."

"I hope they're all right..." said Peach in concern.

"I'm sure they'll be fine," said Brawler. "What sort of trouble can they get into there?"

"Still weird that they haven't come back or called us..." said Peach.

"I'm sure Masta Hand eez looking into that-a," said Mario. "They will be all right-a, I'm sure of eet!"

"If they're staying there overnight, they would've let me know by now..." said Master Hand, looking at the trandimensional machine with the Red Alloy. "This isn't like them...?" He then turned to the Alloy. "Did you try contacting them yourself?" The Alloy shook his head. "Well, they wouldn't be able to understand you anyway..."

The Hand then pressed a couple of buttons on the control panel for the machine to contact Luigi. However, he got no response. "No connection? Funny... There shouldn't be this problem... What's wrong?"

Due to the lack of enemies showing up at the yukkuri lab and being unable to go back to their own world, the Smashers decided to spend the night at a cheap hotel, one that would allow pets.

In the room they rented, Luigi tried getting in touch with his world using the communication device Master Hand gave them, but it was useless. "There's really no hope... We're stuck here..." he said in depression.

"Relax," Yoshi told him while watching TV. "Our comrades will rescue us eventually. We always managed to pull through bad things in the past, so this one will be no different."

"Right, no use crying over something that will resolve itself," said Kirby in agreement. He was watching TV as well.

"Yeah, you're right, but I'm just worried they won't come over until after things get complicated here..." said Luigi. "Those people are preparing to invade this place... Obviously, they have a huge army in order to do that... Who knows how much damage they may have caused by the time they arrive? If those people managed to take out the military of our world, they must be very powerful..."

"You're worrying too much," said Kirby. "They only defeated a small portion of our world's military. They haven't seen anything at all yet. You guys managed to beat them before, right? Surely we can beat them again!"

"Right," said Yoshi with a nod.

"I still wish that our friends will come before that happens..." said Luigi nervously.

Lucina went to the hospital to see Whiplash in order to get more info from him. Since he appeared to the leader of the thugs who came from World OYP, she figured that he would know more. The yukkuri abusing "celebrity" was confined to bed due to the wound he received from Lucina, and there were policemen outside his room to make sure he wouldn't escape. It was a straight drop to the bottom outside the window, so that route was out of question.

"Too bad for you!" Whiplash said to her. "There's nothing for me to tell you, because they feared that something like this would happen and purposely didn't tell us a lot so that we won't give out any info!"

"You better be telling the truth, or else I will cut more wounds on you!" Lucina angrily said to him.

"Ha! I'd like to see you try! You got lucky that time!" the man taunted her. "You won't change what is coming! As much as I'd like to tell you everything to send shivers down your spine, I unfortunately don't know anything! Like I said, the smart ones and higher ups didn't tell us everything they wanted to do in order to keep info from spilling! I do know that whatever they are planning, it's going to be awesome! And once it's all over, yukkuris will be ours again, and nobody can change anything again!"

"And I'll see to it that you don't succeed!" Lucina angrily said to him. "Let them come with their army! I'll send them all fleeing back to their world!"

"You're the one who will end up fleeing back to your world!" Whiplash said to her. "Oh right, you can't go back to your world now! Too bad for you! Hahaha!"

As much as Lucina wanted to beat him up, she held back. Since there was nothing else she could get out of Whiplash, she angrily left the room. "I will protect this world at all cost! I will!" she said in her head.

The next day...

Some people were hanging out at the park, playing with their pet yukkuris. "You heard?" a woman asked her friend. "The people from the world where the yukkuris originally came from are supposedly going to invade this place. They want to take back the yukkuris."

"That's what I heard as well," said her friend. "Why would they think of invading? Can't they just ask nicely?"

"Apparently, they are very barbaric people who know nothing but violence, which is why the yukkuris were sent to our world so that the latter can live in peace," said another woman.

While they were talking about this, one of the woman's pet momiji jumped towards a patch of trees. It was big enough to be considered a small forest. The woman called out to the momiji to not go too far. The yukkuri sniffed around within the trees for anything interesting. It suddenly noticed a flash of of blue light coming from before it. In fact, the flash was so bright that some people at the park actually noticed it.

A loud scream suddenly came from within the patch of trees, and all eyes turned to it to see what happened. "Was that my momiji screaming just now?" one of the women asked.

They kept on looking at the patch of trees and noticed something slowly coming out from it. Their eyes widened in shock when they saw a group of people with rolled back eyes walking out while swaying left and right slowly. They were all making moaning sounds, and some of them were chanting "yukkuri" over and over. The woman who questioned about her momiji noticed that one of these people was holding what appeared to be a torn apart dough with white hair and dripping with maple syrup in his mouth.

The Smashers were in their hotel rooms, doing things like watching TV, chatting, surfing the net on their smartphones, and playing games on 3DS to pass time. There was a knock on the door, so Luigi went to open it and found Lucina standing out there with a serious expression on her face. "What's wrong?" the plumber asked her.

"Time to move," she said. "Those people have made their move."

Luigi sighed in frustration. "I knew it..." he grumbled.

"What are we up against?" asked Kirby.

"For a lack of better terms, zombies," replied Lucina, much to their surprise, especially Luigi.

It was almost like a zombie apocalypse, except these supposed zombies weren't attacking people. Instead, they were exclusively attacking yukkuris. The living buns screamed and ran as fast as they could as these zombie-like people ran after them. When these "zombies" caught the yukkuris, they would either tear them apart or eat them alive. Despite moving slowly initially, these "zombies" ran at fast speeds when they saw yukkuris, and while they posed no threat to other people, they would attack them or push them aside if they got in the way or tried to stop them from going after the yukkuris.

The people of World YB were scared and confused as to what was happening. Those with pet yukkuris ran with their pets in their hands, and those "zombies" would chase them to take their yukkuris. The police showed up to try to stop these "zombies," but the latter showed no fear at all even when threatened with guns. One policeman shot one of these bizarre people in the legs, but the latter kept on crawling towards any yukkuri he could find even when injured.

"What's with these people?!" asked one of the policemen in shock.

Dr. Blak, Victor, Edward, Elrond, and a bunch of other people were looking at World YB through a wide portal they opened up in their lab. Through the portal, they saw the "zombies" they sent forth going after the yukkuris found on the other side.

"I have to say... Even I don't know whether to be impressed by this sight or be terrified by it!" said Dr. Blak with an evil smile. "Even though I know these people, after being kept from abusing yukkuris for so long, would behave in such manners when given the chance to abuse them again, I did not expect something like this!"

"It's unfortunate that they are reduced to mindless monster-like states that act more or less on instinct," said Victor. "It saddens me to know that even after given the chance to abuse yukkuris again, they may still be unable to return to normal."

"We only have these people to blame for taking what rightfully belonged to us," said Elrond.

"It's one thing to forcefully take away what belongs to us," said Edward. "It's another thing to not know what to do with what does not belong to them! We shall show these people how exactly you treat yukkuris! If they do not know anything about yukkuris, then they have no right keeping them!"

"I say we better start getting ready for the next part," said Victor. "It's time to show them that we are serious!"
