SDB: Well, thanks to E.B. Keane-Farrell for reviewing. In answer to your question, the Guest Character's will show up this chapter. I might have changed some of their abilities, but on the whole, they will be the same. I also changed the title for this chapter so it will not be called Wireframes.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but I do own a copy of the game.

(Cut from last chapter. Story will take place immediately after the paragraph.)

Shadow moved forwards and stood by one of the teleports. "Everyone, prepare for the battle." The teleport started to glow red as intruders started to teleport. "Get ready, here it comes, ATTACK!"

The Smashers all raced towards the teleporting intruders, but stopped as they saw the first one. It was a human with her hands up in surrender. "Don't shoot!" her voice squeakily managed to get out.

"Hold your fire," ordered Shadow. "Who are you, and why are you here?"

"I am...," the person paused, looking nervously at all of the Smashers and their weapons pointing at her. Kirby had his final cutter blade out, Samus had a fully charged gun, Mewtwo had a charged shadow ball, and the swordsmen were all in a position to slice her to pieces.

"Zentaku," she finished. "Me and five others have been held captive by the wireframes for almost a year now. We all have special abilities and the wireframes have been forcing us to break the barriers between their virtual world and the real world. Once the virtual arena's formed, the wireframes have been preparing to take over the real world. The five of us managed to escape, and are trying to get back to the real world. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get my friends out."

She stepped off of the teleport and the next person came out. She also moved, and two people teleported in. One was a human, and one was what looked like an intelligent hedgehog. They all stepped off the teleport, and it started to turn red with the next person.

10 SECONDS TO SHUTDOWN. The teleport machine was almost done shutting down.

"No! We have to let the last person through. Come on, can't you cancel the shutdown?" Zentaku cried out.

"No, there's a five-minute shutdown sequence. We cancel that, and we'll be overrun with wireframes," said Shadow.

3, 2, 1, SHUTDOWN COMPLETE. The machine shutdown, and the hum it made disappeared.

"NOOOOO!" Zentaku's cry was long and loud. "My sister, Amy, is trapped with the Master Hand. She'll be punished thoroughly for trying to escape."

The Smasher's all stood there with shocked expressions. "The Master Hand... he's alive?"

"Yes," replied Zentaku. He came back from the last tournament badly injured. He spent almost nine months badly injured, before being restored to complete health. He rebuilt his army and prepared for the takeover." Zentaku, obviously exhausted, collapsed, and Shadow managed to catch her.

"Come on you guys, you need to take a rest. I'll take you all to an area of the building where you can shower, and get a rest. We'll discuss what we are going to do with you later," the Official led the new arrivals off.

(The next day)

"Sorry I got so emotional yesterday. It was a long and hard day, because we had to blaze through hundreds of the wireframes to get out. I am worried about my sister though, because the Master Hand knows our true power," Zentaku said.

"No problem, but what is your true power?" asked Shadow.

"We are six of the seven guardians. The seven guardians are responsible for keeping the mighty dragon Chaos sealed. If he were set free, the whole universe would start to crumble. The seven lesser dragons, all good creatures, have imbued their powers into seven people. That was twenty years ago, and it happened to all of the guardian's fathers. Sometime ago, our parents all disappeared. It was," Zentaku was interrupted by Shadow.

"Ten years ago."

"How did you know?"

"My father disappeared ten years ago, and right before he left, he did something that caused me to go into a coma for a month. When I woke up, my mother had passed away because of grief."

"Could you... is it even possible... no way...but it all lines up." Zentaku thought about something for a moment, and asked, "Ever had a memory blank?"

"Yes. Here watch this video, because I think it has to do with what you were saying."

As Zentaku watched the transformation, her look changed from questioning, to awe, and finally to satisfaction. "You are the seventh guardian."

"What!" was Shadow's reply.

"It all adds up, the change, the parent disappearing, the coma. You are the seventh guardian. The black dragon is your guardian power, and you tend to deal with dark energy attacks. I'll explain our groups powers in a moment," Zentaku's voice faltered as she thought about her sister but became steady again.

"I, Zentaku am the yellow dragon's guardian form. I tend to wield destructive power from a rune blade, just like you infuse your blade with power. Ryu, the guy with the red hair, has a red dragon as the source of his power. His powers include teleport, items summon, and he can set his scimitar on fire and wield it. His super power, a direct dragon powerup is Rage mode, where he is unstoppable and his damage inflicted is two times higher than normal. My dragon power allows me to move at super speeds, making me invisible to all.

"Sonic Junior (SJ) is a strange guardian. He got his powers when his old body died, releasing them into his new form. He wields Chaos Emeralds, which can control enormous amounts of power. He can do a variety of attacks with the Emeralds, and when he gets the blue dragons power, he enters advanced super power mode, where he is untouchable, and does 5 times the attack.

"Swordtamer's power comes from the green dragon. She can communicate with animals, change into animals, or summon animals to fight with her. Her super power mode allows her to see into the future during a battle, and allows her to spot enemy moves before they happen.

"Samer Shaker (Sam) is the next person in the group. He wields the power of the brown dragon, as he can control the elements. He can shoot fire, a giant ice blaster ball, and can control the wind. His cape allows him to fly through the air on the wind and to push enemies away. His super power allows him to control the land; shaping it into something he tells it to.

"The last person, the one still caught is Amy. She controls the power of the white dragon, one that is more healing than offensive. Her abilities include heal, which restores all life to all allies, reflect, which returns enemies attacks back to themselves, and time jump, which allows her to stop time and get somewhere else on the arena. If we cannot rescue her, then we will not be able to stop the Master Hand once and for all. Apparently, the Master Hand is working for the Chaos Dragon."

"We'll rescue her, I promise," Shadow said seriously. "One question? Why didn't Ryu just teleport you guys out of the Master Hand's reach?"

"We can only group teleport to a place that four of us all have seen."

"Oh. Can he teleport us into the area where Master Hand is?"

"Yeah."

"Hey everybody, were going on a trip to save the world. Everyone have all of their stuff?"

Various cries of yes, ready, and lets go were heard. Everyone raced into the room and prepared to teleport.

Ryu stood there chanting foreign words. With the last word, everything faded to black, and then reformed into something different. They were on a world whose sky looked like the background on Final Destination, but everything else was different. "Do you guys all see that building way over there?" Zentaku pointed way off in the distance. "That's are goal."

There was only one problem. There were thousands of wireframes patrolling the distance all of the way to the building. "This could be a problem," Shadow said nervously.

"Are you kidding," exclaimed Kirby. "With all of us here, how are they going to stop us? Let's go."

So they started off, but Shadow said, "I have a bad feeling about this?"

Who knew how accurate his words would soon prove.

SDB: Well, sorry this chapter was kind of boring, but I had to introduce the guardians somehow. If you want to find out more about them, check the reviews. Next chapter will be called Wireframe's. This time I promise.
