~ Chapter III…Act I ~ (Ness' point of view)

I walked up the stairs, every three stairs creaking under me. I saw a door in front of me. I opened it slightly. I looked inside and saw none other then…

----------------------------------------------------------

~ Chapter III…Act II ~

(Marth's point of view)

Ness. Whew. I thought I actually had something to worry about. But something was wrong with Ness, as if he wasn't him. I was probably in that volcano for too long. Anyway, Ness turned around and started to walk away from us.

"Wait, where are you going?" I asked.

"I found a secret staircase." He said, "Let's go."

"Okay." I said.

I wonder what good a secret staircase would do us. It would either lead us to danger or the other Smashers. Anyway, I don't really feel like arguing right now. I guess all I can do is depend on Ness to lead us into either a way out of here or to the Smashers. But for some reason, I get the weird feeling that this isn't Ness…

I have to laugh at myself sometimes. I mean, if this isn't Ness, who is it? An evil spirit who's just acting or pretending to be Ness? An illusion? A trick? I don't believe that. Not now at least.

"Roy, come on." I said.

"Okay." Roy said.

I thought I heard a snigger from Ness, but I could have been hearing things. I'm just going crazy.

"Oh, so you found Roy." He said, "I didn't find anyone yet, but I'm sure that someone's just out there." He said.

Why does that voice give me chills all of the sudden?

~ Chapter III…Act III (Ness' point of view)

Marth and Samus. It appears as if Samus and Marth have already been taking care of things. What a relief. I walked up to them.

"Hey Marth. I see you found Samus." I said.

Marth just grinned back at me. For some reason, his look seemed a little…evil? What was I thinking! I'm crazy. I must be hyperventilating.

"Hey Samus, why don't you get along?" I said.

"Sure. I need to visit my friends anyway." Samus said and took off.

Marth just looked at me. He looked behind him.

"Ness, I found a doorway that leads to the other Smashers. It's right over there. Just come with me." He said.

"How do you know it leads to the other Smashers?" I said suspiciously.

"I defeated this guy who was working for him." I said. "I got him to tell me where the other Smashers were." He said.

I really don't know what to believe. But do I have a choice other then to believe Marth? I guess not. So, I guess I have to go with him.

"Fine. Let's go." I said.

We walked along the corridors. I don't see what was so special or where Marth was taking me. All I knew was that I had a hard time believing in Marth for some reason.

Chapter III…Act IV

(Marth's point of view)

Thump.

We all turned around as soon as we heard the noise. Behind us was a person who looked like Roy. He was severely beaten. He was breathing heavily and deeply, but he looked really angry. He pointed his sword at me.

"You got me fooled last time, but I'm ready this time!" he said.

"W-what?" I asked.

"Don't play dumb with me!" he yelled and swung his sword at Marth.

Roy and I closed their eyes and Ness just stood there. Just then, another sword intercepted the other swordsman's sword. He looked like me, but his outfit was white, black, and yellow.

"Cool it Rey. These aren't them." He said.

The one who looked like Roy, Rey, drew his sword back and turned his back on the others. "Fine."

"You have to pardon my friend." The one who looked like me said. "My name is Konki. My friend Rey doesn't have faith in anyone. He's very suspicious of everyone he meets."

"But what did he mean when he said I had him fooled?" I asked.

"Oh, someone who looked like you attacked him. But I know it wasn't you. Anyway, are you guys looking for someone?" Konki wanted to know.

"Yes, our friends, the other Smash Brothers." Roy and I said.

"Smash Brothers. Hmm. I know a place where we can do some research, so let's go." Konki said.

Roy, Konki, Rey, and I left the room. Ness just stood there. He appeared to be fuming in anger.

----------------------------------------------------------

Chapter III…Act V

(Ness' point of view)

Marth and I continued walking. I was really tired, but Marth looked determined to get me into the room where the other Smashers were supposed to be. I'm not sure if Marth is even leading me down the right path. But then, I saw the other door open. I was shocked to see whom I saw.

"M-Marth?"

We stood there for a second, staring at each other. Just then, the person next to Marth, someone who looked like Roy let out a yell.

"You're the one who attacked me!" he yelled. "Die!"

He lunged at the Marth next to me. He slashed his sword and the Marth by my side just vanished.

"That means…" Marth looked at the Ness besides him. "He's a fake!"

Sennen Spirit: So, what's going to happen now and are Konki and Rey going to stay?

Bakura: I want to know what'll happen.

Ness: I want this fic to continue! I hope The Kefka Fanatic gets the rest of this up soon.

Bakura: Right!

Sennen Spirit: Samus, say your comments!

Samus: *not here*

Sennen Spirit: Samus?

Ness: I guess she really went with her friends when you told her to go with her friends.

Bakura: Anyone who read any of Arita, Defender of Opinions' stories, you'd know what he means.

Sennen Spirit: The next part is by The Kefka Fanatic and her muses! See ya!
