Okay, let's get on with chapter 13.

Falco: Unlucky 13…

Roy: Oh come on! Nothing bad is going to happen! Unless we die…

Yup! Everyone dies, Giga Bowser rules the world, and uh…other bad things happen, the end.

Pikachu: NOOOOOO! ;.;

Just kidding! XD

Pikachu: Oh…anyway, RoyalFanatic only owns Master Hand's, Crazy Hand's, and Giga Bowser's pasts, Mrs. Nina Hand, the GateKeeper Nivian Lant, the Demon King of legend, and the story. Anything else, nope! Not hers!

Roy & Falco: AWAY NEXT CHAPTER!

After seeing everyone safely to the mansion, Master Hand took off for Eternia. He hoped that Samus, D.K., Jigglypuff, and Kirby were now being informed about what was going on and that Mario and the Doctor learned that the Mushroom Kingdom was in good hands. He knew Luigi and Peach would be very happy to hear the news as well.

Unfortunately, the damage that was caused by wireframes did not vanish; Master Hand assumed that would happen once they successfully freed Marth. The Star Spirits had finally paid off their long held debt, yet they continued to watch over the kingdom and the people that started to head back.

Master Hand sighed; he felt the guilt rise, and as much as he tried to block it out, he knew he couldn't. Things certainly were turning in their favor, but he knew Genes would probably have a much worse plan than world domination when they finally confront him…perhaps he had that plan now? Well, the only way to find out was to train and storm the Door.

He landed the chariot on the front lawn of one of the houses; it was a bright orange with the average amount of windows and a porch. Ignoring the passing by angels that looked puzzled, he floated over to the front door and knocked.

"Who is—ah ha! Sir Jeffery!" Nivian answered the door; it was obviously his home. "Come in! Come in!"

"The mission was a success?" Master Hand asked.

"Yes," Nivian said. "Although now I realize I should be getting back to weightlifting!"

"Indeed," Master Hand said, chuckling.

Nivian led the glove through a hall into the living room, which had armchairs, a couch, a T.V., a coffee table…the usual furniture. The walls and ceiling were painted yellow, the carpet was red, and the furniture was orange. Master Hand was amazed how strongly Nivian admired the flame.

On the coffee table was the weapon in which could open the Door, Sanctus Lancea. Roy was sitting on the couch, watching the lance as it glowed. Luigi and Peach were in the middle of a game of War. Luigi had more cards than Peach, and it seemed he was going to win. Peach looked up from the game.

"Master Hand!" She said happily. Luigi and Roy also looked up, and smiled at their guardian.

"It's good to see you all safe," Master Hand said. "Not that I doubted Nivian, but the wireframe activity's always been high."

"We've actually had to deal with wireframes," Luigi said. It was almost as if he was boasting. "About ten of them, all cruel, but we managed to win. Man, Nivian has some cool moves! No wonder he looks like a flame!"

"That's because when of the name he was given when he was born," Master Hand said. "Each of the Gods and Goddesses decide on a special name. Nivian's is the Flame Master, which is why he dresses in honor of the flame."

"What about my brother?" Roy asked.

"He would be the Crystal Prince," Master Hand replied.

"It also explains why the lance is made of crystal, right?" Peach asked. "And Nivian's sword is made of fire." Master Hand "nodded". "Wow…"

"Now, first thing first, some news for Peach and Luigi," Master Hand said. The two addressed looked confused, and a little worried. "We just came back from the Mushroom Kingdom to save the smashers trapped there, and not only did we save them, but we liberated the kingdom as well."

"The Mushroom Kingdom is safe?" Both Peach and Luigi yelped. Master Hand "nodded" again. The two began to dance, laughing in relief.

"Now, shall we go?" Master Hand asked, lifting the lance. "Heavy…but unlike Nivian, I do have experience with angelic weapons." Nivian shot a pretend look of hurt, but laughed anyway. The glove and smashers left; Nivian waved them off as they headed back to Smash Mansion.

"So, this is the lance everyone's talking about," Mario said. "Incredible."

Everyone, including those stationed at the Door was gathered at the mansion. They went from only five to eleven, then from eleven to nineteen. They heard all the sides, and were all brought up to speed. Now was the time to plan everything out; the ones invading the Angels' Door were to be the ones to train, while those watching the Door and Mansion will continue to do so.

After an hour of planning and planning, it was finally decided: Mario, Dr. Mario, Zelda, and Jigglypuff were to stay at the mansion and defend it; just in case something went horribly wrong. Yoshi, Falcon, Falco, Pikachu, Mewtwo, Pichu, and Samus were going to stay at the Door and continue to watch it. The rest will charge the Door.

"Take heed; once you agree to your job, you cannot change it," Master Hand warned. "Does anyone want to change jobs?" There was no reply. "Very well then, off you go. I want the eight charging the Door to meet me at Smash City; all will be explained there." He left, taking the Chariot.

"I'm so pumped!" Link said, unsheathing and waving his Master Sword in the air. "I can't wait to trash Giga Bowser!" D.K., Kirby, Luigi, Peach, Fox, even Ganondorf, laughed at the bold hero, while Roy merely stared at the floor. D.K. was quick to notice Roy's solemn mood.

"What's wrong Roy?" The ape asked. "You look down in dumps."

"I…guess I kinda am," Roy replied. "I've haven't felt this way before; why now?"

"Maybe you're scared?" Luigi suggested. "I mean, you have someone close to you who's in great peril; I would probably feel the same way if I was in your shoes."

"Don't worry Roy!" Kirby piped up. "Sure, things are probably gonna be apprehensive now, but you have us."

"You're…you're right. Thanks," Roy said, giving a healthy grin.

"That's what I like to see!" Link said. "A happy Roy's always better than a sad Roy! Now off to the city!"

It was an easy, carefree walk to the city itself; the island was still protected. Link was the first to notice how the people were cheering him and the others on, as if they knew the deed they were soon to do. Or maybe they just wanted to wish them well because they thought a tournament was soon to begin.

Nevertheless, Link took in the attention, and was often dragged by D.K. or Ganondorf when he decided to stop and show off for his fans and admirers. The teenaged girls literally passed out on the streets as Link waved his sword into the air, holding his trademark grin on his face. Ganondorf and D.K. were less humored, as was Master Hand by the time they reached the port.

"You'll have PLENTY of time to show off after we fix this mess that threatens our world!" Master Hand angrily told Link. "Now, I'm going to split you up into four groups of two, where you'll—"

"Wait, we're splitting up?" Luigi asked. "Is that such a good idea?"

"You have no reason to worry," Master Hand replied. "Nina and I contacted four Guardian Angels who are off duty as we speak. They will watch over you and make sure you stay alive. Splitting up will be the best way for all of you to gain experience and strength."

"Where will we go?" Link asked. "The Mushroom Kingdom's off the list, since the Star Spirits are there. Am I going to Hyrule? I must go!"

"Yes, yes, you are," Master Hand said. "You and Ganondorf are to head to Hyrule. Your tickets have already been paid for, so you can leave when you're both ready." The two nodded and ran for the boat that would lead them to the broken down Hyrule.

"Where to next?" Kirby asked. "And who will go?"

"I have decided to send Fox and D.K. to the southern lands," Master Hand replied. "The jungles out there are fitting for D.K., while the fact that most of the lands' own by the Space Program will be fitting for McCloud. They too are already set ticket-wise, so they may leave when they're ready." Fox and D.K. nodded and ran for their boat.

"Will Luigi and I be paired together?" Peach asked.

"Indeed," Master Hand replied. "Although you may hate me for this, but I'm sending the both of you to the desert lands out west."

"The desert?" Peach asked, horrified.

"I know you don't want to go there," Master Hand said in apology. "But I want you to be ready for your mission, and learn that life's not all glamorous and nice as your kingdom or Eternia."

"We understand," Luigi said; Peach nodding in agreement. They ran off to their boat.

"And last, you two," Master Hand said, turning to Kirby and Roy. "You two will be training in the hidden northern and southern continents."

"Both? Why?" Kirby asked.

"Both aren't as big as you would expect them to be," Master hand replied. "And the fact that there aren't as many frames there as, say Hyrule, or any other place on the planet; the hidden continents are hidden for a reason after all."

"Will we be taking the Chariot?" Kirby asked, noticing it not too far off from where the three stood/floated.

"Of course you will," Master Hand answered, sounding annoyed. "They're named the "Hidden Continents" for a reason after all!"

"Okay, okay! Yeesh! It's was just a question!" Kirby said. "So, let's leave now."

"Not so fast," Master Hand said. He turned to Roy. "You're going to be the leader of the charge, so make sure you train well." Roy nodded. "Kirby." Master Hand now turned to the puffball before continuing. "You're going to be second-in-command. Train yourself well."

"Will do!" Kirby shouted happily. "Come on Roy, let's go!"

"We'll be ready," Roy said, as he joined Kirby on the Star Chariot. "I promise you we'll be ready; and we won't hesitate when the time comes."

"Lots of luck to you both," Master Hand said. Roy and Kirby waved, and the two headed off.

Ness: End chapter!

Yoshi: RF says she's not too sure about this chapter; what do you guys think? There are so few chapters left to go...wow! It only seems like yesterday when we first learned that Marth here had wings...

Marth: We'll see what happens, and RoyalFanatic wants to apologize for the long delay; she hasn't been in much of a writing mood for some time…

Ness: Yeah, tell me about it…anyway, please review!
