Alright! Since I have the chapter written down already, why don't I be nice and type it up so you can read it? You can thank me via review. XD
Falco: So, what's going to happen now?
Lots of information, I'm afraid to say, but uh…this info will be good! Trust me! You'll also get to meet…well, I won't say any more; don't wanna spoil! XD
Pikachu: RoyalFanatic does not own SSBM and everything in it, but she does own the Angels' Door and the Hand's and GB's past. Oh, and she also owns the Angelic Informer who will appear in this chapter; you'll find out more about her near the end of the chapter.
Roy: Away fifth chapter!
A soft sound, like a bird's song…yet he could hear human words…
What were those words saying? Don't give up? Breathe? Open your eyes? And what were they? The sounded male…or were they female?
Luigi opened his eyes.
He was at the Final Destination in all its glory, as it was before its own destruction by Mewtwo's hand. He dimly looked around; Peach, Yoshi, Fox, Falcon…they were all here.
But how did they get here? And why?
"What's going on?"
Luigi turned; it was Fox who asked the question. The kitsune was looking around, rubbing his eyes.
"We appear to be at the Final Destination," Luigi replied.
"How? And why?" Falcon's voice asked. Falcon was also up.
"I have no clue," Luigi replied.
"Did it have anything to do with that light?" Peach, who just got up, asked.
"I don't know. Probably," Fox replied, looking himself over; nothing broken or strained.
"So, uh, how do we get out of here?" Now Yoshi joined the conversation, having gotten up when Peach was talking.
"I have no clue," Luigi replied again.
"Then why don't you get some help?" A female voice asked. The five turned, shocked, to see a woman on the other side of the platform. She had sea green hair and eyes, and was wearing a long white robe. She had a pair of beautiful white angel wings and a golden halo.
"An angel!" Yoshi cried.
"You guess it!" The angel said. "And what a bad predicament this world's in! I'll have to find Heartilly and tell her she was right…" The angel seemed to be thinking out loud.
"Who are you?" Peach asked.
"Not important," The angel said. "All you need to know is that I'm an Angelic Informer."
"Angelic Informer…" Fox muttered.
"Yup. I'm here to give you the what's going on and such," The Informer said. "But yeesh! To think that Shino could get caught so easily; he's the fourth of his job to open the door for evil! And the Guardian Angels are also slipping…this just proves that we angels are losing our touch!"
"Wait…you know Marth?" Falcon asked.
"Of course I know Shino!" The informer replied. "Being an Informer, I memorize stuff with ease; I know almost all the angels and their jobs! But we're getting off track here! "The Informer cleared her throat. "As you know, Genes Koopa, a.k.a. Giga Bowser, opened the Angels' Door in evil's name. He has not only changed the world in his favor; he has also become its king."
"Not good," Fox said, frowning.
"His huge army is also back on its feet," The Informer said. Yoshi let out a wail of hopelessness. "But do not despair! For that means the dead walk again."
"The dead walk again…" Luigi muttered. "Does that mean—"
"Right now, I'm afraid to say you're too weak to challenge Giga Bowser," The Informer said, interrupting Luigi. "But even if you wanted to challenge him; you can't open the door."
"How do we do that?" Peach asked.
"All angels have Holy Weapons, depending on their jobs," The Informer said. "For example, Guardian Angels all wield bows; the Gatekeepers of our fair Realm have swords; the Angel of Death brandishes an axe; Informers, much like myself, wield magical books; Guardians, or "Keys", of the many worlds' Angels' Doors' wield lances."
"Lances, eh?" Falcon muttered.
"Shino's lance is located somewhere on this planet," The Informer said. "You must journey to find it, and grow stronger as you journey. We'll worry about how you guys use it to open the Angels' Door later."
"Does the weapon have a name?" Fox asked.
"Certainly," The Informer replied, conjuring a book and showing the smashers a page. "Sancutus Lancea."
The lance was colored ice blue, and looked to be made of crystal. A pair of angel wings, also made of crystal, but a pure white, was attached near the tip of the weapon. The tip itself was shaped like a club; the three leaves very sharp.
"Do you know where it is?" Falcon asked.
"I'm afraid not," The Informer said, clapping her hands; the book vanished. "That's part of your overall trial of strength."
"When do we begin this trial?" Fox asked. "And what is it for?"
"It's what you shall use to strengthen yourselves," The Informer replied. "And it has already started."
"So…how do we get out of here?" Yoshi asked.
"Leave that to me," The Informer said.
"Wait…how is Planet Nintendo doing?" Peach asked. "Is the mansion still safe? I'm also worried about my kingdom."
"Smasher Island remains a safe haven," The Informer said. "I'm sorry to say everywhere else is under King Giga Bowser."
"But if the Door's on the island…" Falcon muttered.
"Do you doubt Shino's power so? What kind of friends are you?" The Informer smacked her forehead with her palm. "Yes, the Door is located on the island, but surely you know that the one thing we're best at is protecting the ones we love! Why do you think there are so many Guardian Angels?"
"Actually, we don't know," Fox said. "We only learned that Marth's an angel a week ago."
"Kept it a secret?" The Informer asked. The give nodded. "Now I get it. I'm not surprised though; Door Guardians usual keep themselves hidden."
"You call them Door Guardians…" Yoshi muttered.
"The gods were the ones that made the Doors and assigned Angels to them. They only told us that those specific angels hold a tie to the door," The Informer said. "When we learned that it was them themselves that opened the Doors, we began calling them Angel Keys. But which sounds better: the Doors' Keys or the Doors' Guardians?"
"I see…I think I understand," Fox said. "But, where are our friends? Are they all okay?"
"Well, there's a group of them in the mansion; the rest were captured," The Informer said. "I would suggest that you go there first. But before you go, tell me one thing: does Shino have any younger siblings?"
"Yeah," Falcon replied. "A brother."
"Watch over him well," The Informer said. The five nodded. "Take care."
The Informer raised her hands, and the stage was enveloped in whiteness.
"Hey…I think Luigi's coming to!" A voice said. It sounded very familiar.
Luigi opened his eyes and sat up.
He was in the Infirmary. On other beds were the other four. But what amazed him more were his and the others' guests.
Falco was sitting by Fox. Pikachu, who had spoke, was on his bed. Mewtwo was in a corner meditating, Roy was sitting by Yoshi, Zelda and Master Hand were by Falcon, and Mario and Dr. Mario were by Peach.
"Luigi!" Mario immediately ran over and hugged his brother. "I'm so glad to see you awake!"
"I'm glad to see you alive!" Luigi said. He turned to the others. "It's good to see the rest of you too!"
"What happened?" Pikachu asked. "I mean the Door gets opened, we come back as everyone else gets scattered…"
"We were at the Final Destination," Luigi replied. "We met an Informer there; she told us about what was going on."
"An Informer?" Falco asked.
"An Angelic Informer," Master Hand replied. "An angel born to watch over a specific group of people and lead them when they get lost. You said you met her on the Final Destination? What was she like?"
"She had sea green hair and eyes," Luigi said. "And wore a long white robe. She didn't say her name though."
Master Hand began laughing.
"M-master Hand? What's wrong?" Luigi asked.
"Of course! How could I've thought otherwise?" Master Hand said. "I can tell you her name. She is Nina Hand, my wife."
"You have a wife?" Roy asked. "I never knew that!"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me," Master Hand said. "But I'll tell you those things in a time of peace. What did Nina have to say?"
After getting Peach, Yoshi, Fox, and Falcon up, Luigi explained all that happened.
Yoshi: Yay! Chapter is done! XD
Marth: Quite a few interesting things; if you're still confused, RoyalFanatic will be happy to help. Just let us know.
Yoshi: Now for a little fun thing: if you couldn't tell; Marth's lance's name is in Latin. If you can figure out what it means in English, then you receive an angel plushie!
Marth: A hint for you all; the English name also appears in another game for the Gamecube; in the game, the name is a spell. The game is a RPG, and has some things mentioned in this fic.
Yoshi: So, well…review!
