Fear Itself
Chapter 7- Fear of Fire
---Dark spooky place---
The dark figure stood infront of his blue orb, watching the Smashers. "Heh, Zelda's dead. Now Link has a bigger fear." He mutter, waving his hand over orb. The face of Jigglypuff appeared and the figure smiled. "Yes, that's an odd fear. But I can get her at any time." It waved its hand again and Mr. Game & Watch's image appeared and was quickly dismissed. The faces of Nana and Popo appeared and the figure let out a cold laugh. "Prefect! Thats the best! I must get them!" The figure turned away from the orb but quickly looked back. His eyes fell upon one of the Smashers off in the back, his vessel. "Hmm...Prehaps it's best I fake my death now, unless I wanna risk being discovered."
"Master?" Came the low voice of the figure's servant, C. "Fake your death? How would you do that?" He asked.
"Well, I noticed that about two to three of the Smashers have the fear of Fire. I can just have my vessel go with them, then have you kill them." The figure said, smirking.
"Bu-But, I can't make people's fear come true like you." C answered.
"I know, I want you to distract them with the normal tricks, Cold wind, taunting and stuff, what you can do. When they see you, I'll just use my vessel to burn them to the ground." The figured moved close up to his dark servant and pulled him close to his face. "You'll need to pull me out of the fire. If my vessel dies, I die! I still need to kill more before my power is back and I can return to my normal body. If I die, you die."
C nodded and his master rushed off into the darkness of his lair. He waited until he was sure his master had gone before asking out loud, "How could he kill me if he's already dea-"
A great voice boomed through-out the dark lair, saying, "I HEARD THAT!"
---Smashers Living Room---
Marth sat on the couch with the paper found in Zelda's room. "He's toying with us." Marth said, crumpling up the paper and throwing it at the ground reading, "Spiders. That is what this woman feared. And her time came to face her fears. Your time is coming too. Twenty Smashers remain." (A/N: If you didn't already know, I'm counting Nana and Popo as 2 differnet Smashers.)
Mario, who sat across from him on a plush chair, nodded in agreement. "And now that Zelda is dead, I'm worried about Link. He's taking this pretty hard."
"How can you blame him. His girlfriend, his mini-self and even his archenemy are all dead now." Marth said, sinking into the couch.
"Maybe we all should start sleeping together in the living room. That way-"
"The kill will still be able to kill his target. Roy was in a room of people...and he still died." Marth said sighing at the thought of one of his best friend's death site.
---Hallway---
Mewtwo made his way down hallway, holding the side of his head. It was pounding and the images of the vision he had last night were flashing through his head. Laughing. Darkness. Heat. Fire. Screams. He couldn't remember it all, but what he does remember is making his brain hurt. "Someone...is going to die in fire..." He muttered without his own knowing. The pain then got worse and he brought both of his hands up his skull and let out a scream in pain. "It hurts...I've never felt this before! ARGH!" He began to run down the hall, smashing into anything unluckly enough to be in his way. Including Yoshi and Mr. Game & Watch.
"WAH!" Was all the two poor smashers could say before getting ran over by, what seemed to them, a crazy giant kitty.
"Ow...Stupid giant cat." Yoshi moaned, standing up rubbing his head.
"I can't move Yoshi." Mr. Game & Watch muttered. Mewtwo had flattened him onto the floor. Yoshi bent down and peeled the 2-D hero off the ground. "Thank you!" He told the dino, he was about to say somthing else when Yoshi cut him off.
"What was wrong with Mewtwo!" He yelled at the way he thought he saw Mewtwo run off in.
"Yoshi..."
"That guy makes me so mad. He thinks just becauses his a psychic cat he can rule the place!"
"Yoshi..."
"I hate him. He's just an evil stupi-"
"Yoshi!"
"WHAT?!"
Mr. Game & Watch pointed up at Mewtwo, who was standing behind Yoshi. The green dinosaur was facing the wrong way and now, that he saw the purple cat, he felt as if his very life was now brought down to a few happy moments of living. Even though they wouldn't be very good moments, seeing as the only thing he is looking at, is the evil glaring eyes of a certain pokemon. "I'm a what?" Mewtwo asked, rasing an eyebrow. Before Yoshi could answer, the pain in his head returned. He gripped his temples and let out another yell, louder then the first.
"Is somthing wrong, Mewtwo?" Asked Mr. Game & Watch and Yoshi in unison. Mewtwo nodded but before he could tell them anything, a cold chilling wind blew past the three of them as a dark figure appeared.
C walked up to the three but quickly stopped. "Master!" He said in his mind. "Mewtwo is with them! He could defeat my powers."
"Don't worry, I'm blocking his mind." Came the reply from his master. "He won't be able to do anything."
C nodded and began walking up to the trio. "Fire. You three are afraid of fire!"
"He looks just like-" Yoshi began but was cut off by another gust of wind, this time burning hot.
"Burn in hell." C stated coolly as he made the wind turn into a ring of fire. Mr. Game & Watch tried to yell by his yell was drowned out by Yoshi's own scream. Mewtwo watch in horror, but the pain in his mind was too great and he couldn't help the other two at all. The ring of fire began to close in on the three, melting the vase that was near by. The fire soon rose up, higher then Mewtwo and flooded down upon the group. All three let out screams of pain as the fire began to burn through their flesh and melt their bones. C knew he had to act fast and held up his hand. The flames parted slightly and a charred body ran out. He smiled, knowing that it was his master and he had done his job.
"Should I throw in a dumby body?" Asked C to the smoking figure infront of him.
"No, they will be burned to ashes." With that said, the figure lost control over his vessel, letting the body fall into C. C smirked and in a gust of cold wind, left the hall. The fire continued to burn until both of the Smashers within the flames were nothing but ash, along with a note reading:
"Fire. That is what these three men feared. And their time came to face their fears. Your time is coming too. Seventeen Smashers remain."
---Dark spooky place---
"Where...am I..." Muttered the killers vessel. He looked around the room and saw nothing but darkness. But sleepy-ness overcame him and he slipped into a deep slumber...as the killer took control of his body.
