SKM here again, bringing you Chapter 12 of Episode II! Sorry I couldn't update for awhile, my internet computer got messed up, so we had to reboot it. But of course, other stuff happened, which made it take longer to get my computer back up and running. Like I said before, I'll be pulling out all of the stops in putting up the story, so expect the next chapter to be up soon! Oh, and I still don't own much, just the ideas and stuff you've never heard of, like usual. On with the chapter!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 12: Sidetracked
Pikachu - Why did the ending of Chapter 11 sound familiar?...
Me - Because it was almost identical to the ending of Chapter 3.
Pikachu - Oh yeah!
----------------------
Things were slow going on the way to SSB Island. I was showing Pichu the controls of the ship and telling him what did what. Pikachu and Yoshi were watching none other than the recent tournament that I won (despite all of the pandemonium that happened), and I think Peach was making a phone call. "Dude! You pulled off some slick tricks in that tourney!" Yoshi exclaimed. "I did okay, I probably could've done better," I admitted. "I guess, but I didn't even know how badly you whipped DK!" Pikachu exclaimed. I turned back to Pichu. "Well, I've pretty much shown you everything. You wanna go watch?" I asked him. "Sure!" Pichu said. So we went over and ended up watching what Pikachu and I had done less than a week ago.
"Destination: SSB Island. We will arrive in three minutes," the computer stated. We had just finished watching me beat Mewtwo with my super-cheap strategy. "Dude, that was hilarious! Mewtwo didn't even see that one!" Yoshi exclaimed. "Yeah, that was as cheap as if you Egg Layed someone off the edge!" I laughed. (I had done the 'Suck up and jump off the arena' trick to Mewtwo, where I sucked him up, walked over to the edge of the arena, jumped off, and spit him out near the bottom, giving me an instant win.) "Would you boys get over here and land this thing?" Peach called from the cockpit area. "Okay, okay..." I sighed as I got up. Once we were close enough, I landed at the southern beach. "It seems only yesterday that we left here to rescue Peach..." Pikachu sighed. "It WAS only yesterday, dummy!" I exclaimed. "Oh yeah!" Pikachu remembered. "Sometimes I wonder how you two are friends," Yoshi said. "Well, let's see..." I started, "it was you that introduced us to each other back at the first Invitational, Yoshi." "Yeah, and after we settled our argument back at the second Invitational, we've been roommates and battle teammates since then," Pikachu added. "So true, so true," Yoshi admitted. "Are we going to just stand around, or go see what Mentor wants?!" Pichu exclaimed as he dashed down the hatch ramp. "What's with him?" I wondered aloud. "Pikachu shrugged and said, "I think he's one of his excited moods."
--------------------
"I don't think I've ever seen the main hallway so empty," Yoshi said. His voice echoed through the hallway. "Neither have I, or at least not after HQ was opened to the public," I said. "I guess most people left after the incident," Peach said. "Most likely," Pikachu nodded.
After leaving the elevator into the main lobby, Yoshi and I stopped. "What did you two stop for?" Peach asked, "Aren't we supposed to go see Mentor in the Class Wing?" "I doubt Mentor is still in the Class Wing," I grinned. "You don't expect him to always be there do you?" Yoshi added with a smirk. "Then where would Mentor be?" Pichu asked. I replied by saying, "Upstairs."
I led the group down a small hallway to the southeast from the main lobby. We stopped at another set of elevators, which led to upper levels and the hotel (Yes, there's a hotel at HQ!). Yoshi pressed the button to up. Once an elevator came, we all filed in. "Just to let you know, we're taking you three to a place that no unauthorized person is allowed to go," I said after we all stepped in. "Which would be?" Pikachu asked. "The REAL Headquarters," I grinned. I pressed a red button labeled 'Com', and up we went.
----------------------
"WHOA!!!" Pikachu, Pichu and Peach exclaimed in unison. Yoshi and I expected them to say something like that when they saw HQ. The lobby of the committee's floor was pretty spectacular, though. There were computers off to each side that told the history of every Smashers' game, the statistics of every single Smasher, and even a simulation of SSBM! "I never knew how cool being a committee member could be!" Pikachu exclaimed. "How come I was never told about this?!" Peach said. "Awesome!!" Pichu exclaimed. Pichu started off for a computer when Pikachu grabbed him. "We're not here for that..." Pikachu stated. "Besides, you aren't allowed to use those... yet," I said. "You three aren't even allowed up here, y'know," Yoshi said. "Yeah; you're only up here to see Mentor," I agreed. "I'd better sign up before we leave then," Pikachu said. "So will I," Peach said. "Me too! Me too!" Pichu exclaimed.
We walked up to the receptionist at the other end of the room. "Hi, we have an appointment with Mr. Mentor," I said to her. "Name?" she asked me. "Oh! Uh... Kirby," I replied. "Okay," she said as she picked up a phone, "...Mr. Mentor? This is the front desk. I have a Mr. Kirby and friends here to see you. ...Okay, got it." "Well?" Pikachu asked. "He'll be right with you," the receptionist replied. Mentor suddenly entered through the double doors to the side of us. "Hello all!" he said. "Hi. What is it that you wanted to show us?" I asked. "Well, it involves the three of you, but we also need two other Smashers..." Mentor started. "You mean us?" Pichu asked as he stepped to the front of us. "Pichu?! Where did you come from?!" Mentor said in an alarmed state. "Me and Yoshi escaped from the Forsaken Tower and met up with Kirby and Pikachu and Peach!" Pichu exclaimed. "Yoshi's here too?!?" Mentor exclaimed. "What? You didn't notice me?" Yoshi said. "What luck! Yoshi and Pichu just happen to be the other two that are explained in what we found!" Mentor exclaimed.
"What are we explained in?" Peach asked. "I'm guessing this is what you asked us to come for?" I asked. "Yes! Let us go to the conference room; there is a TV there and I think the national news channel is supposed to be airing the explanation soon," Mentor beckoned.
We followed Mentor down a hallway and into the major conference room. "For you three that don't know, this is where regular SSBC meetings are held," Mentor said, "You all probably want to join, right?" "Yes!" Pikachu and Peach said simultaneously. "Yeah! Yeah!" Pichu added. "Okay, but first, take a seat," Mentor said. We all sat down at the large table in the room, at the end closest to the television. Mentor turned the TV on, and switched it to NNN Headline News. (That's Nintendo News Network, if you must know.) "...In other news, archaeologists have reported finding an ancient stone tablet from deep within the ruins of the Desert Colosseus in Hyrule," the anchorman said. "Oh good, we just caught it," Mentor said. "The top archaeologists have deciphered the stone tablet, which gives us this saying: 'Four years after the second millenia, a group of famous Nintendo characters will embark on an epic journey," the anchorman continued, "A marshmellow-like creature, two electric rodents, a princess and a dinosaur will be aided by..." The anchorman was interrupted by a man with a paper. "I've just received breaking news. According to the local news team, Meta Knight is destroying Dream Land!! More details will be revealed shortly." the anchorman stated. "WHAT?!!" I exclaimed. The TV went to a video of Meta Knight and his soldiers destroying and blasting stuff. "Here is what Meta Knight's employer has to say:" said the anchorman. The TV changed to a video of a news reporter and King Dedede. "It's not fair! I'm suppos' to be the baddest guy in Dream Land!" King Dedede whined, "I thought that Meta Knight could be trusted now, but noooo... wait, is that camera on?"
"Things never get any easier for us, do they?" Pikachu groaned. "And the worst place to pick, Kirby's home!" Peach exclaimed. "Grr... he's not getting away with it this time..." I growled through clenched teeth, "C'mon guys; I've got a score to settle!" "But what about the tablet?" Yoshi asked. "Mentor! Try and contact those archaeologists directly and find out what the rest of that stone tablet says!" I exclaimed. "Right! I'll call when I find out!" Mentor replied. I immediately shot out of the room, with everyone running to keep up.
"Of all the lousy tricks..." I groaned as we ran down the main hallway, "I thought he was my ally." "I bet this has to do with Mewtwo," Yoshi said. "You think he has inside info?" Pikachu asked. "Most likely," Yoshi replied. "Let's just get there and beat this Meta Knight!" Peach said. "Yeah!!" the rest of us exclaimed. We made no stops until we reached the ship. We all quickly piled aboard. Everyone hastily took their seats. I turned the power on, hit the gas, and gripped the throttle. We zoomed off to the northeast. "Time for another special feature!" I said as I opened one of the many glass containers, "WarpStar Warpspeed!" I slammed the button that was under the glass. The ship was engulfed in a ball of purple fire. Suddenly, the ship's speed was instantly tripled! I clenched my fists (or what I had of fists) until the repressurization was complete. I let out a quick sigh, and exclaimed, "It should only take an hour to reach Pop Star at this speed!"
And so, we were off, on yet another dangerous mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why has Meta Knight suddenly attacked? Does it have anything to do with Mewtwo, as Yoshi thought? Will the ends of chapters where the gang travels to another island stop sounding dumb? Find out next, in Chapter 13: Aerial Antics!
