Bow Before Your King

Chapter 9 - What Can Possibly Go Wrong? (Part 2)

Okay, so I got quite a few reviews last chapter, so thanks a lot to you guys. So it basically confirms that people are still interested in the main kings in Smash. This chapter in particular will be the second and final part to "What Can Possibly Go Wrong?". Of course, anything with a dreaded phrase basically means that the world is in trouble. The Smashers already had to deal with Galeem in World of Light after all. I'll respond to these guest reviews and we'll get started.

Eli: If Young Link does end up getting scarred up for life, then he'll immediately tell Link, Zelda, or Sheik, which means that Ganondorf is going to be chewed out, which will most likely happen anyway thanks to Ness. Speaking of him, for the second question it what in regards to him being the oldest when it comes to the kids. But yeah, it'd basically be his own fault though for getting involved in something he could have avoided.

Guest: Thank you! Yeah, with more heavies coming in every game, the veteran heavies have to share the spotlight with them. This time we got Incineroar, King K. Rool, and Ridley, the latter having yet to make their debut here. As for Ridley himself, he is set to appear soon as this progresses.

Oh, and one more thing. About that name of the movie, I made that name up, but the movie actually exists and it's called "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." just so you know. And judging by the name alone, you could tell that this whole thing is going to end bad. At this point, it's not "if" it's going to end bad, it's more of a matter of "when."

"...So, what's gonna happen to them? Are they gonna get tortured?"

"Who knows. Maybe a superhero that can do no wrong can save the day?"

"This is a horror movie, Toon Link. Superhero movies are more for the action/adventure genre..."

One could have made an inference from Toon Link and Ness's conversation that the movie had yet to cross the half-hour mark, and things were already going wrong in the thriller. Currently, two male protagonists were all tied up in a barn, with another man attempting to intimidate them with that smug look of his.

Yet all the while, nothing major occurred at the time as far as the whole 'horror' aspect was involved. Viewing this was slowly, yet surely proving to be rather boring for Ganondorf Dragmire, his head resting in the palm of his right hand that was increasingly growing numb. Though at that point, he could have cared less. What were the antagonist's intentions? Why did certain horror movies always kidnap all the protagonists except one? Why does that one protagonist somehow ended up either surviving or is killed off last? Why did some horror flicks follow almost every cliche in the book?

Now, the latter in particular never applied to Chainsaw Destruction: Texas Style. Nevertheless, the couple cliches that Dragmire discovered in a matter of minutes were far too blatant for him to disregard. Sure, the movie was barely a third of the way finished. However, it never stopped Ganon to take a second to ponder to himself.

"This so-called 'thriller' appears to be uninteresting for my taste... There are individuals here that seem either frightened, sympathetic for the protagonists, or cheerful for the poor excuses of antagonists to claim victory later on. Of course the ones right near me are mostly the former, with medium-sized, pointy-earned boy pitying said protagonists... In what world am I astonished by all this? Suppose this is not even worth my time. I could be easily either at the gymnasium training myself, or practicing for the tournaments. They are better time killers in my personal opinion..."

"I can't take it!"

Out of nowhere, Luigi the Mario Bro was seen racing through the aisle from the front and center row to the door, pushing right on through and almost breaking it in the process. Not many even realized he was even in the auditorium in the first place. Perhaps someone invited him?

Yet such information was insignificant. Besides, if anyone that had to potential to be scared easily, the kids were the ones that Ganondorf had to worry about. He eyed each one of them carefully. Young Link and Popo appeared to be slightly nervous, yet keeping their composure. Lucas and Villager looked as if they were about to scream their lungs out. Although, for some reason, the Villager never even blink in spite of his obvious overall feeling of what he was watching. Surely it was something Ganon had yet to figure out. It was actually not the first time the Villager had seen a horror movie, and no ever found out why he looked so horrified at the content, yet barely even blinking.

Besides them, Toon Link had his hangs together, rapidly shaking in his seat (though not enough for him to have a public freak-out of some sort), and finally, Ness, Nana, and the Duck Hunt Dog were simply viewing the project screen with curiosity, the actual duck of the Duck Hunt Duo covering his eyes despite already hiding under the dog's seat.

Much more to Ganondorf's dismay, there was another problem. The Inkling Girl from Splatoon decided to join in on the fun after Ness apparently forgot to forward the text to her so that she could be involved in the auditorium, Ganon unfortunately having to shift his legs slightly so that she could pass, instead of using her recovery in the Smash matches. But besides her, it was not to the point to where Ganon had to get to the point to where he was going to rage. Link knew it all too well that it happened quite a few times in the mansion, as well as anyone else that debuted before Ultimate. Yet the heroes of Smash never had to worry in the end simply because of Master Hand. A few sessions of yoga with Wii Fit Trainer also did the trick.

That was another topic for another day, however. Lucas and Villager reacting in a way that he expected. Nothing more, nothing less. Not too much of a problem for the King of Evil. Last thing he needed was to have literally all of them screaming in terror and barking loud enough to the point where ones would have heard them from Master Hand's office. Almost no one knew that the kids were even watching, and for the couple that found them out were none other than Spring Man and Isabelle that came in late. Eyebrows were raised at the sight of the latter, yet if anything, that only proved Ganon's point. If she watched it without any problems, the kids had no reason to be scared, right?

No matter was the ending result was, anyone that said the dreaded phrase, 'What Can Possibly Go Wrong' in regards to a certain case scenario, there was no doubt that everything would progress rather smoothly, and it was rather unfortunate for Ganondorf, the gerudo not even hearing that comment from Ness.

And it was just about to bite him in the butt.

Nearly towards the end of the movie, over time, certain kids began to express all kinds of shock and terror on their poor faces. Lucas and Nana fell victim to the horror aspect of the movie first, as they were on the brink of losing it and scream and shout. Toon Link was not that far behind. Villager's eyes grew wider, yet no other emotion. Young Link and the Inkling Girl's jaw had dropped not too long ago, Popo had his hands over his mouth, and Ness for some reason would never stop blinking every few seconds out of shock.

Regardless of all that, Ganondorf Dragmire never paid attention to any of them for at least one second, since he was too busy criticizing and nitpicking at the movie. Although for him it ended up getting slightly better due to the climax, it was never enough for him. When it came to criticism in general, Dragmire made sure he never held back. ...Then when it came to other Smashers giving him constructive criticism, he just had to bring up how powerful he was in comparison to the rest of the cast just for the sake of his ego and pride. Hypocrisy much?

Anyway, by the time the notorious Nintendo villain took notice of the facial expressions of the kids, it was too little, too late.

One stab too many was just enough for Lucas.

"AHHHHHH!"

Due to the sudden screen, nearly every single Smasher, Assist Trophy, and Pokemon all looked at Lucas. ...Well, at least eye the direction the noise came from. The running that came with it half of a second later though was what made them identify the screamer. They all watched the poor PSI kid dashed out the auditorium door, it slamming shortly after.

"...Hey, wasn't that Lucas?" Lucina thought out loud, standing up from her spot. "Who brought him in here!?"

Noticing the direction he came from, she gradually shifted her eyes to her left, coming to the point of her staring at the only grown-up in the middle back row.

"...You!" Her level of irritation went from zero to ten in a matter of moments. "Why'd you bring him in here? And you brought the rest of the kids, too? Ness! I told you that you couldn't come to the movie!"

Him telling both Ganon and Ness off was irrelevant to the latter, his hands covering his mouth as well as Popo's.

"I... I... I can't take this anymore!"

"Let's get out of here!"

Nana's suggestion did not have to be repeated for the rest of the kids. One-by-one, they all ran after each other through the auditorium's exit, not wanting to pay attention to even more offensive content for kids. A mixture of loud screams, cries, and shuffling was heard throughout the back of the auditorium, eventually making Wolf O'Donnell turn the lights on out of annoyance, also pausing the movie.

If only he would have done so sooner.

See, Donkey Kong just returned to the bathroom after tricking Diddy into thinking he was getting ready to witness a movie about romance (a movie that for DK, was a surprise to everyone that it was a genre that was not despised by him), much to the eyeroll of his nephew. Fighter number two had a soda in his hand, and when Toon Link was getting ready to pass him, Link's cartoon version accidentally slammed right into him, not only causing him to fall back and land on his bottom, but most importantly, the beverage in the monkey's hand ended up out of its container and splashing all over Donkey Kong.

...

Young Link all the while had a hand over his mouth, no one even noting that he was the only kid that remained.

The infuriated stare from Donkey Kong for some reason did not affect Ganondorf's blank look at all. Who was he to care? It was his drink, not his.

Unfortunately for him, his way of thinking never suited well with everyone.

Yeah, late again, but it was earlier than last week, so that's a plus.

But anyway, yep. All we could think of is Ganondorf's consequence. The guy just couldn't understand unfortunately.

Questions:

1. Who would bark the loudest at Ganondorf? Link, Zelda, or Lucina?

2. Would Ganondorf at least try to understand where Lucina is coming from at all?

Yeah, that's all I have. Now next chapter, we are finally going to leave January 12, but that could also mean that you guys could be wondering what else is going to occur, so stay tuned!
