Yep, cliffie. I know. Here's the last chapter, that you have all been on the edge of your seats, waiting for. Ha just kidding. Here's your chapter though. Yes, this is the final finale thing, last chapter. Sorry I couldn't get around to giving you all a chapter. But you know I'm thinking of you! Please give me lots of reviews! This is, after all, the last chapter of my first story. And if you don't leave me lots of reviews, leave me long ones. Those are just as good. Please enjoy, behold, read and reviews Chapter 12! The last thing that happened was the dagger part. And if you aren't to sharp with riddles, read the names on the interviewers backwards. Please?

Chapter dedicated to: Yureidoru, for speaking up about what I was doing wrong. Thanks. -
Chapter Twelve - Secrets...and DOOM!
Roy fingered the dagger hiding behind his back, his palms sweating for nervousness. Link was yelling commands at him on what to do and when to do it. Autrya was experiencing the same kind of stress, but for reasons unknown.
Link: Come on Roy, pull yourself together! She's evil!
Autyra: (thinking) Come on, Autrya. Get it together! This is your job, this is what Boss wants.
Roy: (thinking) Ok, here I go.
Autrya: Here goes nothing!
They both pull their daggers forward but they can't be seen by each other when...
Waiter: Your bill. (hands them a paper)
Roy: (sweating bullets) Thanks.
Link: ...Alright, ignore him! Stabstabstabstabstab-
Roy: I can't do this. (walks over to edge and chucks the dagger)
Link: (crawling through bushes outside) Fine, if he's not doing it, I am! (gets stabbed by incoming dagger)
Autrya: (sigh) He doesn't deserve this. (chucks el dagger)
Link: (pulling dagger out) Agh, my blood! (gets stabbed by other dagger)
Roy: Well, the bill isn't that much, let's go home.
Autrya: Right, ok!
They set off for home, leaving Link to walk...er, crawl the whole way.
MH: Welcome home! How was it?
Roy: Great!
Autrya: Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
MH: Terrific! Now GO TO BED!
The next morning...
Link: Ah, it burns!
Marth: Hold still! How did you say this happened again?
Link: I don't know, I was just walking and then two daggers fell from the sky! A bad omen!
Marth: (sigh) Wait, daggers?
Link: Yeah?
Marth: Like the one Roy had?
Link: Um... (picking up one of the daggers he took back) Yep, that's the one.
Marth: That cad! What was he thinking, stabbing you!
Link: I don't know!
Marth: ...And you said two daggers...?
Link: Oh, yeah. Here's the other one.
Marth: Hm, there's some writing on the blade...
Link: What's it say?
Marth: I can't tell...there's too much of your blood on it.
Link: (pales)
Autrya: (walks in) Oh! (sees her dagger) You can catch a bad disease touching other people's blood, let me wash that for you! (nabs her dagger)
Marth: Disease? Then what am I doing handling a wounded person?
Link: Hm, why would she - ouch - take that dagger but not Roy's?
Marth: hmmmmmmm, I don't know.
Peach: (walks in) Guys, the interviews start today!
Link: Dammit, she's right! I can't be interviewed looking like this!
Marth: If you would just shut up and be still, I can fix it!
Roy: (walks in, turns around, begins to walk out)
Link: Whoa, hold up there buddy!
Marth: You aren't going anywhere!
Roy: (turns around nervously) Heh heh, what do you want?
Link: You...stabbed me!
Roy: Huh?
Marth: That's not the issue. The issue is...you didn't stab her!
Roy: Look, I know. (closing door) The thing is-
Marth: You have to close that door twice. It opens itself.
Roy: (closing door again) Autyra is not as bad as you think she is. She's a really nice person and her and I have a lot in common.
Marth: Oh?
Roy: Yeah. On our date, we talked and I didn't stab her because she doesn't deserve it! She's a great person!
Link: Really?
Roy: In fact, I got the impression she enjoyed talking to me just as much as I did her. She told me some pretty deep things, like about her past.
Marth: Is that so?
Roy: Yeah, she told me all kinds of stuff, like why she wanted to be a smasher.
Link: Go on.
Roy: ...That's it.
Link: (scoffs) You still shoulda stabbed her.
They hear a doorbell.
Roy: That's the interviewers.
Link: Hurry, Marth!
Marth: You aren't going first, and you'll meet them eventually. Now don't move so much, you're bleeding everywhere!
Link: (holding perfectly still)
Roy: I should probably go now. See you guys later. And sorry for stabbing you Link.
Link: yeah yeah sure you are...
Downstairs, there are about 4 people at the door and Peach greeting them.
Peach: You must be the interviewers! It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Peach! I'm one of the smashers.
The interviewers include: An old man, a young woman, an older woman, and a younger man.
Old man: My name is Rehsams Lanrete. (about 70 years old)
Older woman: I am Urodieruy. Please call me Uro. (about 40 years old)
Young woman: I'm Ayokan, pleased to meet you. (about 20 years old)
Younger man: And I'm Loof Gnizalb. (about mid 20's-30's)
Peach: Ah, such an honor to meet you all. (curtsing before them)
MH: Please, do come in.
They all have a seat in the main room. Everyone else besides Peach, Roy, and Master Hand are getting ready.
Roy: Sooo...those are some pretty weird names you got there...where ya from?
Rehsams: Huh wha-?
Uro: Excuse me?
Ayokan: Oh, nowhere in particular really. Hee hee.
Loof: We're from around here.
Roy: Cool...
MH: (ahem)
Peach: May I offer you something to eat or drink?
Rehsams: Water please.
Uro: Green tea.
Ayokan: Um...no thanks.
Loof: I'll pass.
MH: While Peach gets those drinks, I'll go over the rules. (explaining long and boring rules)
Rehsams: Ok, now run that by me one more time sloooowly...
Roy: I can't take this. (goes upstairs)
Upstairs, many smashers are still getting ready. Madness...
Fox: Has anyone seen my jacket?
Zelda: Mario, did you iron my dress yet?
Luigi: Samus wake up!
Pikachu: Does anyone know where my bowtie is?
Ganondorf: Captain Falcon, give me back my curling iron!
Falcon: Neva!
Bowser: Hurry up, I need the bathroom next!
Roy enters his room again, where Link is asleep on the floor, bandaged, and Marth is sitting next to him.
Roy: (closing the door) . . . . . . . . . . (closing it again)
Marth: So, how many are there?
Roy: Only four. I guess they plan to do us four at a time.
Ness: (rushes into the room) Ohmigosh this is gonna be soooo exciting! (rushing out of room)
Roy: How's Link?
Marth: Better, I guess.
Zelda: (entering room) Hey guys, you should go now. Your category is after the Starfox, Metroid, and Kirby people.
Roy: Ok, let's go Marth.
Marth: But, Link-
Zelda: I'll watch Link.
Marth: (reluctantly leaving)
Link: (waking up) Oh my god, who are you?
Zelda: Uh, it's me, Zelda.
Link: ...Oh.
Zelda: Geez, you're useless, you know that?
Link: Well excuuuse me, princess!
Zelda: (sigh) Marth and Roy left to do interviews.
Meanwhile...
Uro: So, do you enjoy being a smasher?
Samus: Well, it's alright. I'd rather do something else though.
Uro: . . . .And how does that make you feel?
Samus: oh god no.
- - - - -
Fox: So yeah, basically I just like to shoot a bunch of things and kill people, so it makes me feel good you know?
Rehsams: (sleeping)
Fox: . . . .Hello?
Rehsams: Eh? What? Oh, next question. Uuuuh...
Fox: (sweatdrop)
- - - - -
Kirby: Well, being a smasher is alright...I miss my friends though.
Ayokan: Me too, I get that way all the time like whenever I go on a trip or something I'm always like "wow i miss my friends" and then I'll like call them on the phone and be like "hey i miss you and stuff" and they'll be all "hey i miss you too" and we'll be like "cool".
Kirby: . . . . . . .Wha-?
- - - - -
Falco: Um, being a smasher...gee, I don't know. It's ok, except Master Hand's a bitch, Fox annoys me all the time, and there's just so much to take care of. It's like one big madhouse!
Loof: Sometimes the peace that you search for lies in the midst of a storm...
Falco: Ok, dude. You're creeping me out.
- - - - -
MH: Ok, we need the Fire Emblem people, the F Zero people, and the little psychic dude next.
Ness: The name's Ness.
MH: Right right...
Soon, the next interviews were underway...
Uro: Is there anyone in this mansion that you cannot stand?
Falcon: Well, Ness maybe. Pikachu, Pichu, Mr. Game, Marth, Peach, Master Hand-
- - - - -
Rehsams: Eh, alright sonny. Do you ever have strange desires to-
Roy: I don't even wanna know what you're about to ask me! (leaves)
- - - - -
Marth: Uh, you're supposed to ask me something.
Ayokan: Oh really? Hee hee, sorry! Umm, are you going out with anyone?
Marth: ...I thought you were an expert at this.
Ayokan: I asked you a question! You're supposed to answer it!
Marth: This...(sigh) I give up. (leaves)
- - - - -
Roy: (outside in the main room) Got you too?
Marth: Oh yeah.
- - - - -
Ness: Well, as far as people that bother me, I'd have to say...Roy and Marth and Link.
Loof: Why?
Ness: Because, they soak up all the attention.
Loof: Sometimes, when you judge someone by their cover, you can get the wrong impression and miss out on a truly extraordinary oppurtunity.
Ness: Whoa! Way too many big words! I may look smart, but damn!
- - - - -
MH: Next up is...
So the interviews continue and as time went by, they were over.
Link: (on crutches) Whew, glad that's over.
Falco: Hey, now that we have nothing to do, I need to ask you all something.
All: What?
Falco: Who's shoe is this? (holds up pink high heeled shoe)
Fox: . . . . . .
Flashback
In the forest in chapter 5...
Falco: So what if I have a bad sense of direction? And isn't that Zelda's shoe?
Fox: ...What?
Falco: No, really. (picking up pink thing) Yeah, it is!
End of Flashback
Fox: Wow, you still have that old thing?
Ganondorf: Let's do it like in Cinderella!
Mario: Ok, all the girls line up. Who will put the shoe on their feet?
Falco: (dropping shoe) Not me!
all: (silent)
Roy: (pushing Marth)
Marth: Hey!
Mario: Perfect! Marth!
Roy: (laughing)
Marth: What goes around, comes around Roy...remember that.
Peach: Ok! I don't think it's my shoe, but...(trying on shoe, to no avail)
Samus: I don't wear these kind of shoes! (trying on, foot too big) See?
Popo: Oh, and trust me, it ain't Nana's.
Zelda: (trying on) Nope.
Falco: Man, in the forest, I really thought it was yours.
Zelda: (transforming)
Sheik: (trying on) Nope.
Luigi: Is that it?
Autrya: No! Wait! (comes down the stairs wearing a dress that she wore for interviews. It is white silk and very formal, but something looks missing...
Marth: Ok, I don't know how it could fit you if you weren't even around when Falco found this.
Autrya: I don't have to try it on...
Pikachu: No, go ahead, now that you're down here.
Autrya: (trying on the shoe) Gasp!
Mario: A perfect fit?
Marth: How can that be?
Zelda: Impossible!
Autrya: Not even I understand!
While they bask in awe, some gears are turning and churning...
Roy: (To Link) So wait. If that was found in the forest, and it's her's, and we didn't know her yet, was she following us?
Link: Maybe. She is our biggest fan...
Autrya: Alright, allow me to explain! I followed you into the forest because I am such a fan!
Roy: we're one step ahead of her...
Samus: Well, that's so kind. Yet very creepy.
They all dissapear into their rooms, Roy following Marth to his.
Roy: So, she followed us because she's so obsessed...stalker.
Marth: It's really weird. (taking off jacket) But what I don't get is...how long has she been stalking us?
Roy: I don't know, I didn't think she was that kind of person.
Marth: Yeah, weird.
Marth opened his dresser drawer but saw something that struck him as so unbelievable, even Roy freaked out.
Roy: Ah! (falls to the floor)
Marth takes the object from his dresser and observes it. It is a white, silk sash that he found earlier. Very similar to the fabric of Autrya's dress.
Marth: Roy! Doesn't this look familiar?
Roy: uuuh...
Flashback
Beetle: OOOOWWW! OUCH! (on fire, swinging arms and legs in a rampage, knocking away some of the earth)
Roy: How'd you like that?
Marth: Shut up, showoff.
Roy: Ok, Beetle! Stop...flipping out and fight me!
Beetle: (not listening, swinging around in a rampage, knocking away more earth, causing it to shake, causing Marth to fall over, causing...)
Marth: (picking up a white sash on the ground that looked fairly recent) What's thi-
Beetle: You will not...survive! (knocks Roy over on top of Marth, who quickly put the sash in his pocket)
End of Flashback
Roy: No, I've never seen it. But I had this weird flashback that you picked it up with we were fighting the Beetle.
Marth: That's right! Wait, I'm onto something here! (leaves the room in a hurry)
Downstairs, Autrya is talking to Peach.
Marth: Autrya, does this belong to you also?
Autrya: (gasps) Where did you find that?
Marth: The same place where Falco found your shoe. I'm guessing you dropped this also? But why would you wear a dress in the forest if you were just stalking us?
Peach: And why would you wear pink shoes with a white dress! Talk about a fashion emergency!
Autrya: Marth, I need to talk to you in private.
They leave for the master bedroom, where the lights are dim and the silence deafening.
Marth: What do you want now?
Autrya: I want to tell you the truth. I wasn't in the forest because I was your biggest fan. I was on an assassination plan. My boss, the guy you saw in the pyramid, ordered me to kill all the smasher's because you guys were stealing all his business.
Marth: ...
Autrya: That's where the second dagger came from, me trying to steal Roy. I am particularly after you, Roy, and Link because of your excessive amount of fangirls.
Marth: Well...
Autrya: I stole your statues so my boss could destroy them in his anger.
Marth: Ok now that's just childish.
Autrya: I was in cathoots with Francis and that beetle. I stole all your food that one day, making you go to the grocery store. My boss ate it all, that's why he's so fat. And I switched the bag of letters for Meredith's to be sent.
Marth: Why'd you do that?
Autrya: Just because.
Marth: Well, I'm glad I understand now. And I'm also glad you've gotten over that and chosen to become one of us.
Autrya: But Marth, it doesn't end there.
Marth: What?
Autrya: I'm still on this mission, I was never one of you. Marth...
Autrya leans up and kisses Marth tenderly on the lips for a brief moment. Then, she whispers, "You always were my favorite. I'm afraid the time has come now. Good-bye...forever..." She trails off and pushes a button on a remote she had. The whole mansion begins to shake and soon after, collapse. "Autrya, what have you done!" Marth yells, but the girl is already unconcious, or at least almost. Marth falls to the floor because of the increasing magnitude of the mansion. Autrya is gone from his sight and the room he was in caught on fire.
Smoke filled the mansion and the sound of people's cries fills the air. Roy appears in the doorway of the master bedroom. "Marth! What are you doing, we gotta get out of here!" He helps Marth up and coughs at the amount of smoke in the house. Zelda and Link also help evacuate people, but none found Autrya anywhere. In the foyer below, the door is blocked by a large wooden beam. Bowser, MH, and Ganondorf try uselessly to move it. "We're trapped!" Peach cried.
Mario took one last look around and they all heard a countdown begin. "What's going on? This is terrible!" A bright light shines and the mansion is filled with a heavy battle arua. Zelda closed her eyes and clung to Link, shouting, "Do something!" Link looks frantically around, the smasher's are disappearing one by one from his vision. Marth finally fell into the grasp of unconciosness and Roy tried to support his dead weight. "Link, Zelda, watch out!" He yells to them an instant before a cloud of firey explosion consumed them.
The mansion exploded, dynamite being the cause. The smasher's were sent flying in one general direction, some still alive, some unconcious, maybe even some dead. The were sent far far away and a few caught a glimpse of their burning home before they collided with either sea or sand. Roy opened his eyes and was lying on the sand, Marth still near him. He crawled over to his friend, who was thankfully still alive. Link carefully approached Roy, tears in his eyes. "Roy, I lost Zelda!"
Then reality struck Roy for the first time in a while. Despite the smasher's strength, a few could still die, and Zelda was no exception. Tears continued to flow down Link's face as he fell to the sand in defeat. Roy looked around to see several other smasher's strewn along the shoreline. Marth stirred for a moment and his eyes fluttered open. He sat up. "Where are we?"
Well, it lost some of its humor there at the end, but oh well. Sorry for any typos, I'm super jitterey right now. So Autrya was evil after all. As you can tell, there will be a sequel to this. It will have some humor, but that moment had to be all drama. Sorry if you were looking for a good laugh. So, what do you think? Where are they? Who survived? Where's Zelda? Dead? In the water? Still at the mansion? (no) Will Link be able to carry on without her? And will Marth thank Roy for saving him? Find out next time in
the sequel...baby
