Last chapter was a little extreme, don't you think. But it's a great way to start off a story. If you were in Mario's perspective, than you would be scared. WHO WANTS SORT OF SCARY STORIES?
It seems I've made a bad move in my last chapter.
Hrainian: I don't get this part. The characters in this chapter are: Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi. Yes almost all the Mushroom Kingdom people. (except for Yoshi)
How can he be in it, and not in it at the same time? Don't you mean bowser?
I should've said: (except for Yoshi and Bowser). I plan to use Bowser in a different chapter. Remember, Yoshi's name in that chapter was Apple.
Thanks for your help, I'll try to make things less confusing.
Disclaimer- I do not own Super Smash Brothers or any of the charaters in this story, but the ones I make up are mine and belong to this story. Names Like Fred or Bob, you get the idea.
Characters in this chapter: Link, Mr. and Mrs. Fred, Mr. Taokashi, Fox, and Falco.
Sorry I'm so slow updating, I'll try to update more often.
This chapter is sort of long. Read if you have time on your hands.
I wake up one morning, with my last case planted into my mind. I just couldn't get it out of my system, the terror Mario must of had would be most horrifying. I go down stairs and see Capt. Falcon sitting at the kitchen table, drinking his morning coffee. I don't know how he can stand to drink that stuff, it leaves a bad after taste in my mouth.
I walk over to the kitchen table and I take a seat, breakfast was already made so I just started eating it. It was nice and warm, the eggs and bacon tasted like an elegant delicacy. I never knew Capt. Falcon was such a good cook, even though I've eaten this so many times, It still tastes good each time.
"Hey Ness, look at this." Capt. Falcon hands me an envelope. "Hm?" I look at the envelope that says "To Capt. Falcon and Ness." I look at the letter inside, it reads "You have been invited to attend a special welcoming party for Mr. Taokashi." Mr. Taokashi! He's the richest man in the whole city! I wonder why he invited us? "There will be refreshments and drinks at the reception. We would be very pleased if you could attend. Signed, Link."
"Link is a close friend of mine, we have known each other for seven-teen years."
Seven-teen years? That's a long time. Capt. Falcon must be old.
"If you're thinking I'm old, than think again! I'm only 34." says Capt. Falcon.
"Heh, heh."
"Well? What do you think about it? Want to go?"
"Sure."
I stand up and push my chair in. I than head over to the sink and stick the plate in the sink. Next I go up stairs and I get changed.
"Be sure to dress fancy." Capt. Falcons calls up to me.
After about a 20 minutes, I head down stairs and see that Capt. Falcon is already dressed. My clothes were a black tux, with a white shirt under, a fancy looking bow-tie, and a white flower bud. Capt. Falcon forced me to take my hat off. I didn't want to, but Capt. Falcon said he'd kick me out on the streets if I wanted to look like a rat. Ugh. Capt. Falcon wore mostly the same thing I wore, except his tux was white and had a purple flower bud. With a red bow-tie to match.
We headed out around 1 pm, we had to be there around 2:30. It took us an hour to get there, Capt. Falcon wanted to pick up some flowers, just in case he met a cute girl. Capt. Falcon, you're hopeless. It was 2 pm when we arrived, we were early so we just hung around untill everyone else came.
By 3 pm, everyone had come. There were at least 50 people there, it was kinda crowded. Me and Capt. Falcon took a seat in the back of the main room.
"Welcome, we are all glad that you have all showed up today."
I looked up at the stage. "Is that Link?" I asked. "Yes, that is Link. How about we go meet up with him after this reception?" said Capt. Falcon. "Sure." I said.
The reception drug on forever. I was relieved when it was over. It was 4:30 and most of the people had left already. We walked out of the main room and started to look for Link. We found Link drinking some punch next to a big statue of Mr. Taokashi.
"Hey Link, long time no see eh?" says Capt. Falcon.
"CF! Is that really you?"
"In the flesh."
"It's been forever since the last time we met."
"Sure has been."
"How about we go meet Mr. Taokashi?"
"Really! We'd love to, right Ness?"
"Yeah." I said.
Link leads us to the main room where we meet Mr. Taokashi.
"Hello Link, who are these two?" asks Mr. Taokashi.
"These two are friends of mine, the tall one is Capt. Falcon and the little one is Ness."
LITTLE! I can't help it if I'm short, I'm only a kid.
"Very nice to meet you. I am Mr. Taokashi, if you haven't noticed. I don't believe you've met my two personal assistants. Fox and Falco."
"Falco." says Capt. Falcon in a low whisper.
"Fox." says Link in a low whisper as well.
What had happened between them? They act like they're enemies or something. When I turn to face Mr. Taokashi, two people walk out from the left and right side of him.
"Hello Link, and Capt. Falcon." says Fox.
"Who are these two?" I ask Capt. Falcon.
"We used to go to high school with them, they were our sworn enemies."
"What did they do?"
"Pranking us, frameing us, you get the picture." says Capt. Falcon.
"Oh, so you do know each other. I know this may sound strange, but I'd like you all to stay in myhouse tonight. You are a detective, right Capt. Falcon?" says Mr. Taokashi.
"Yes."
"Good, there seems to be someone stealing my fortune late at night. So I need you to help investigate."
"Sure, I guess." says Capt. Falcon.
Later That Night.
"Oh, that dinner was delicious." says Capt. Falcon.
"Yeah, it was." I say.
"Hey Ness? Do you want your hat back?" he asks me.
"You mean you brought it with you? Of course."
Capt. Falcon hands me my hat and I put it on my head. Ah, my sweet hat is back where it belongs.
We both walk down stairs and look for Mr. Taokashi. We find him talking to two people.
"Who are these two?" Capt. Falcon asks Mr. Taokashi.
"Oh, hello Capt. Falcon. These two are my executives, Mr. and Mrs. Fred." says Mr. Taokashi.
"Pleased to meet you." says Mrs. Fred
"Same here." says Mr. Fred.
"Okay." says Capt. Falcon.
Hmm, something doesn't feel right. These two seem utterly suspicious. I'll have to keep an eye on them, but not only them on Fox and Falco as well. I walk away and I head to the bathroom. On my way there, I hear a strange creaking noise. It seems like it's coming from above me. I get Capt. Falcon and we head upstairs. We swing the door open and we see Falco jumping around.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask.
Fox walks in the room. "He's doing his workout, he always jumps around so he won't lose his grip on jumping."
"Humph, whatever." says Capt. Falcon.
I decide to head to my room, I have to share a room with Capt. Falcon. I walk in the door and I head to the bed. I fall into the bed and I drift off to sleep.
"whisper"
"whisper"
"...What should we do about the boy?"
"What else..."
"...very sly."
"...what about Capt. Falcon?"
"This is what we'll do..."
"...and then we..."
"...it's perfect."
I awake by the light of the moon. I cover my head to get away from the light. After about a minute I decide to get up. It is 11 pm so I go down stairs. The first person I spot, is Fox. He has a strange smirk on his face. He looks over at me.
"What are you looking at!" he says to me.
"Uh, um, nothing."
"Hmph."
He walks upstairs. I don't know if I should follow him or not... I guess I will, this might prove something about him.
I creep along the wall, and I watch his every move. He turns around and I hide behind a huge vase. I hope he didn't see me. He starts to walk my way, closer and closer he gets, but something catches his attention. He turns back around and he starts to run. Fozen still,I rise up and I look beyond the vase. He's no where in sight, I continue on the pursuit. I look past the corner, and I see him talking to someone.
"Should I or should I not get closer?" I say to myself in a whisper.
I start to move, but someone grabs my collar and they pull me back. "What are you up to?" says a voice behind me. I turn to face the shady character but when I do, someone hits me hard on the back of the head.
"Ugh, where am I?"
I try to stand, but the pain is too strong. Instead I look around, it is dark and hard to see. Something catches my eye, I see a shady character sitting in a chair in the far corner. He catches my eyes and he stands up. He walks over to me and says:
"Are you ready?" he asks me.
"Huh? Re-ready for what?"
"...For your annihilation."
My eyes widen with fear. I try to get away, but the character holds me down. I still try to get away, but it is hopeless. The man grabs the ropes that bound my hands and he drags me across the floor. He drags me through the room, down the hall, and into another room. He throws me in the room and he locks the door.
"Ow, my head. I have to get out of here, or they might kill me."
I need to cut these ropes. I search around the room. Hmm, maybe I can...Yes! Now I need to get out of here. I head over to window and I look out of it. Oh no, I'm on the second floor. I gather the sheets and covers on the bed and I tie them together. I tie one end to the bed post and throw the other out the window. Whew, good thing for gym. I shimmy down the sheets, when I come to the end I jump off. I creep around the house and I come up to the front door. Dammit, it's locked. What am I going to do now? Huh, someone's coming? I hide in the bushes and I look for the person...It's Capt. Falcon! I jump out of the bushes.
"Capt. Falcon!"
"Huh? Ahhh! Get away!" says Capt. Falcon.
"Capt. Falcon, it's me." I say.
"Huh? Oh hello Ness. I thought you were sleeping?"
"Capt. Falcon, there's something strange happening in the house?"
"Hmm, like what?"
I explain everything that happened to Capt. Falcon. At first he didn't believe me, but after I told him more, he started to believe me.
"Hmm, there is something happening. My guess is that someone's trying to kill Mr. Taokashi, and don't want us around."
I think to myself, maybe they're not trying to kill Mr. Taokashi. Maybe they are trying to do something else, but what could it be.
"C'mon Ness let's head inside." says Capt. Falcon
Capt. Falcon walks up to the front door and he opens it. "Hey, Capt. Falcon? Where did you get that key?" I ask him. "Mr. Taokashi gave it to me, I am on patrol remember."
We go inside, it seems everyone's asleep it's pitch black. Capt. Falcon turns on a close by light. It lights the whole room and we continue on. First we need to check the rooms, we might find something important.
Me and Capt. Falcon walk upstairs and we go down the first hall. We come upon a room with the lights on. We go inside and we find Mr. and Mrs. Fred sitting in two chairs.
"Have any of you heard anything wierd around here?" says Capt. Falcon.
"No, nothing. What's wrong?" says Mr. Fred.
"My partner Ness, was kidnapped by two people. That wouldn't happen to be you would it?" he asks them.
"No, we've been in our room since 10 pm. When did it happen?"
"It happened around 11, right when I woke up." I say.
"Well, I guess we'll go check some where else." says Capt. Falcon.
Capt. Falcon closes the door and we move on. "Capt. Falcon, why did we leave? We were on to something." I say. "We weren't, they were in their rooms at 10 and it happened at 11." he says. Oblivious ogre, they could've left there room and then come back before we came. Grr...Capt. Falcon, you're not using your head.
We try the next room, inside we find Fox and Falco jogging in place "What do you want?" says Fox. "We're investigating, my partner Ness was kidnapped by two people. I don't suppose they were you, huh?" says Capt. Falcon. "No way, we wouldn't waste our time on that runt." says Fox. "Besides, we were in our room at 10:45."
RUNT! HOW DARE HE!
"Fine, we're leaving." says Capt. Falcon.
We continue to walk down the hall, until we hear something strange.
"What's that noise?" I ask Capt. Falcon.
"It sounds like scraping." says Capt. Falcon.
"Come on, I sounds like it's coming from over here." I say.
We head into the room and we find Link lying on the floor.
"Link, what happened?" says Capt. Falcon.
"Uh, someone snuck into my room while I was sleeping. I managed to drive them away, but they cut my leg." says Link.
"When did all this happen?" I ask him.
"It happened about 10 or 20 minutes ago." says Link.
Whoever did this, must have been in the house. It was either Mr. Taokashi, Fox, Falco, Mr. Fred, or Mrs. Fred. That person must have done this for a reason. They must have done it while me and Capt. Falcon were outside, the perfect time to too.
"I'll be back, I need to check something." I tell Capt. Falcon.
"Wait, you shouldn't go alone. I'll come with you. Link, will you be okay on your own?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." he says.
I check around in the hall. Wait, what's this. It looks like a piece of cloth, the person must have had this with them and they dropped to either throw us off track, or lead us to them. I go in the next room, I see nothing. I go in the next few rooms and still see nothing. Hmm, if they weren't in any of the rooms, then they must have entered the room through the window. But how? I think Link would know if the window was open. Unless...yes that could be true. I think I have this case wrapped up. Next I need to get the facts straight. I head back to Link's room. I open the door and I take a seat in a chair.
"Link, can I take a look at your leg?"
"Sure, I guess."
I go over to Link, I look at the cut on his leg. Just as I thought, the material from his pants was ripped off, not cut. He must have ripped a part from his pants, than he planted the cloth in the hall to through us off track. Next he had to cut himself to look like the innocent bystander.
"Okay that's good."
I leave the room and Capt. Falcon shows up. "Where have you been Ness? I was looking for you." says Capt. Falcon.
"Capt. Falcon I think I know who kidnapped me." I say to Capt. Falcon.
"Oh, who is it?" says Capt. Falcon.
I explain everything to Capt. Falcon. He denies it at first, than he starts to believe it. We gather everyone up and we head to the main room.
"Everyone, I have asked you all to come here because I have figured out who kidnapped me, and who's been trying take Mr. Taokashi's fortune." I begin.
"Who was it?" asks Mr. Taokashi.
"It was none other than Link and Falco." I say.
"What are you talking about?" says Falco. "I was in my room almost all night."
"No you weren't. You left the room to kidnap me after I was spying on Fox and Mr. Taokashi. You were going to spy on them, but I got in your way. You had Link knock me out, then you took me upstairs and you tied me up. That all happened before youwent to yourroom. You were going to kill me, but I managed to escape. I was the flaw in your plan."
"Do you have any proof that I was involved?" says Link.
"As a matter of fact I do. The cloth I found in the hall is the same material as the pants you wear. No one cut the cloth off, but you ripped it off. You then placed it in the hall to throw us off. No one could get in through the window, because you were on the top floor, there would be no way someone could climb all the way up there even with a ladder. Next you cut yourself to look like the innocent bystander. You used all of this to throw us off Falco's track, you couldn't risk getting Falco caught so you used yourself to distract us. You did all this just to get Mr. Taokashi's money. You were going to kill Mr. Taokashi, but you didn't expect us to stay the night. You were really close to Mr. Taokashi, so you would get all his inheritance. He doesn't have any family so he would have to give it to his best pal, you. Falco joined you because he couldn't stand being behind Fox. Fox was going to be promoted, which would mess up your plans to get Mr. Taokashi's money. So you and Falco joined forces, you both had the reason to. And don't try to deny it, it is the full truth."
"Grr...we're caught Falco." says Link.
"Yes, it seems that way." says Falco.
"I can't believe you would do it Link we were best pals, I never thought greed would get in the way of that." says Capt. Falcon.
The Next Morning
The morning sun has risen, and Link and Falco are going where they belong. Capt. Falcon was really disappointed in Link. I'm sure Link felt disappointed in himself too. That was such a long night, I feel like I could fall out right here and now.
"Nice job Ness. You have done it again." says Capt. Falcon. "Ness? Ness? Are you awake? Heh, he fell asleep standing. Hahaha."
