Chapter 8: Tests
"Where the heck am I?" moaned Roy.
Suddenly, a jolt passed through his body.
"Wake up, you lazy wretch. You and your partners are going to be submitted to some… shall we say… tests." The same cruel voice said.
"Tests?" asked Fox suspiciously. "Who are you?"
"Shut up, vermin. Only time will tell." Laughed the cruel voice.
"Okay. Hey, Father Time! What's this weirdo's name?" asked Fox sarcastically.
In the shadows, two eyes narrowed.
"I don't like your attitude, you vulpine idiot. What an interesting specimen you are turning out to be," remarked the voice casually.
"Shut up. I'm not a specimen! I'm Fox Mcloud, savior of Corneria!
"And I'm Capt. Falcon, winner of tons of F-Zero races!"
"And I'm Roy, one of Fire Emblem's heroes!"
"Hiii!" said Kirby, which meant, "I'm Kirby, the savior of Dreamland!"
However, the voice ignored them, and said, "Start the testing!"
"In this test, we will see who can run the fastest. Ready, go!" said a bored voice.
"This is weird." Commented Fox. The others agreed.
"Falcon, you are the fastest! Come back here!"
"Ugh! What're you doing!" asked Falcon as the assistant jabbed a needle inside his leg and took in a bit of blood.
"Did ya see his face?" asked Fox excitedly.
"Naw." Said Falcon.
"Now, Fox, Kirby, Roy, we shall take your moves." Said the assistant.
"I suspect reflector from me, stone from Kirby, and Flare Blade from Roy?" said Fox suspiciously.
"Bingo," replied the assistant.
"Well, if you guys have Falcon's speed and our powers, what will you do with it?" asked Fox as the assistant jabbed needles into their skin.
"The Master does not tell lowlife beings," said the assistant.
"Ah… yes. We are done. Send them back… The next part of our plan will go smoothly…" said the Master.
"Wait! What about Team 3? What's your next step?" shouted Fox as he and his friends were dragged to a warp portal.
"Oh, you'll see… you'll see, all right…" smirked the Master.
Then, a glaring blue light enveloped Team 1, and then… the world turned black.
