Chapter 15: Last Minute Wrap Ups


Fox stood with Falco, Roy, and Captain Falcon listening quietly to all of the conversations generating around him. Everyone stood in the hallway, in front of the room where the time machine is held. They had to wait for the PRC members to finish figuring out what went wrong , so it doesn't shut down again. Since there were a lot of people already crammed in the room, most of the smashers and a couple of PRC members waited in the hallway.

Fox still couldn't believe that they had completed the mission. Link was finally back to normal, rejoicing with Zelda and Young Link who had told him everything that happened. All of this happened in one night, when they really went ten years into the future. Their adventure was coming to an end, and now the smashers had to do their part. They must go back in time and prevent Ganondorf from controlling Link. Once that happens, Regga City will have a peaceful normal future, with no one in control.

Roy and Falco began talking about how things are surely going to change from here on and how Roy had missed the entire battle, because he was unconscious. Fox had to agree with them. He actually enjoyed traveling around Regga City with the PRC members. Even though there were near death moments, they all worked together and ended up finishing off Ganondorf and Bowser. Of course when they head back to the past, the two smashers will be alive, but not as powerful.

Captain Falcon walked up to Fox, and placed his hand on his shoulder, congratulating him on the victorious win. Fox accepted the compliment, but knew that every single one of them worked as a team. They had put their power together and their minds and found away to end up as heroes.

Lee came out of the room where the time machine was held. He looked around at the separate groups crowding the hallways and headed over toward his partners in the corner. Fox and Captain Falcon silently watched them as Lee began speaking to Regii, Ashley and Bishop. Fox could tell by the PRC members expressions, the time machine was ready.

It was time for them to head home.

Zelda and Link both walked over toward the PRC members. After exchanging a few words, the two older smashers walked back to the middle of the hallway.

" It seems the time machine is ready," Zelda explained softly to all of the smashers who suddenly quieted down.

" We're going to send you guys back to your original time, so you can prevent this from happening…" Link added. " Make it so that…" He paused for a moment, speaking softly. " I don't go with Ganondorf."

" Since we know where to go now…" Young Link explained. " It's just a matter of getting there in time."

" Before you all go…" Zelda blurted out softly. " I just wanted say, thank you all so much."

Peach crossed her arms, a little perplexed. " We should be thanking you, Zelda. You were the one who brought us here."

Zelda smiled and nodded. " I guess you're right."

Ashley walked closer to the large group of smashers. " I want to thank you guys as well. All of you were really a great help to us."

" We had fun," Roy explained with a nod.

Lee crossed his arms. " Thanks for the help."

Regii leaned back on the wall. " We couldn't have gotten this far without you."

" Yeah, I agree. It was fun, we worked as a team." Bishop added.

Nishi walked out from the group of smashers over toward the PRC members. She slightly smiled, standing in between Regii and Ashley. " Thank you, so much."

" Are you all ready?" Zelda questioned.

The group of smashers nodded talking all at once. Roy was silent looking around at the large group before realizing one of them was missing. " Wait! Where's Marth?"

" So I guess you have to leave now…" Cecilia explained softly, as her and Marth walked back toward the others waiting at the end of the hallway.

Marth frowned and nodded. He sighed deeply and lifted his head looking up ahead at the group talking to each other. He was happy that their journey was over, and that the smashers had won, but he wasn't happy about leaving.

" I don't really want to go…" Marth replied softly.

" You have to…" Cecilia pressured. " Marth, you must."

Marth took a deep breath and nodded, looking up at Cecilia. They both faced each other, silent and lost in thought. Even though this wasn't where the prince belonged, he wanted to stay. He had to admit he had some attraction to Cecilia, that his friends could easily notice. They went through everything together, through all the danger and the entire trip across Regga City. They stood by each other's side.

The prince could tell the others were getting impatient, so he had to quickly say his good-byes to Cecilia. He stepped forward and pulled Cecilia close to him, wrapping his arms around her waist. Just like in a chain reaction, Cecilia threw her arms around Marth's neck, returning the tight embrace. They both felt curious eyes watching them, but what the others thought, didn't matter to them.

" Good-bye Cecilia…" Marth closed his eyes, hearing the hurt within his voice.

" Bye, Marth…" Cecilia replied. She was the one who forced herself to pull away, and walk over to her group of partners.

Marth dropped his arms to the side, and steadily followed her over toward the group of smashers.

" You ready, Marth?" Roy questioned.

Marth lifted his head to the young prince and forced a smile. " Yes."

The door opened, and Ivory stepped out ordering the group of smashers to pile up inside. The PRC members, along with Zelda and Link waited outside in the hallway, after saying their final good-byes. Once the door had closed, they all knew it would be the last time they would see their PRC friends.

Traiden and Ivory were the only ones in the crowded room other than the group of smashers. The smashers found it uncomfortable, but had to manage to stay this way, until they were transported back to the past. Marth, Fox, Mario and Young Link began helping Traiden and Ivory with the last bit of work. With the others chattering and pushing and shoving, getting things done seemed impossible, but they somehow managed.

Traiden picked up the remote, staying next to the time machine while Ivory tied the wristband around Mario's wrist. She smiled and stepped back next to Traiden, who patiently waited for the group to quiet down.

" You guys ready?" Traiden called. The smashers nodded in response. " You will all be transported to the night of the dance, a little bit before you all were sent here. Since Mario holds the wristband everyone has to be connected to him. Everyone should lock arms."

As if ordered, three smashers grabbed a hold of Mario, while everyone else grabbed them. Pretty soon, everyone in the room was touching someone else, besides the two PRC members.

" Will we have enough time?" Mewtwo's voice came out of nowhere.

Traiden nodded. " You should if you act quickly."

" What about the wristband?" Mario lowered his head, studying the band carefully.

Ivory warmly smiled. " It will disappear once you stop Link from going with Ganondorf. It will prove that Regga City's future is back to normal." She paused for a moment, before continuing. This time, she spoke softly. " Thank you all so much."

Traiden lowered the remote to his side after turning the time machine on. He looked over at the large group of smashers one last time and smiled, nodding to Mario. " Good-luck."

Mario looked down at the wristband and abruptly touched the button on the side. The time machine began charging up, causing Traiden and Ivory to step aside. Once the time machine had zapped Mario, all of the smashers began to light up, before they finally vanished being sent into darkness.


" Mario?"

Mario blinked, and shook his head looking into his brother's face who sat across from him. The red plumber frowned and looked away from Luigi's confused stare studying his surroundings. He found himself in the dinning hall of the campus, at the dance. He was sitting at a table with Luigi, Doctor Mario and Peach who shared the same similar expression with Luigi.

" Mario, what's your problem?" Luigi questioned again.

Mario lifted his eyebrows wondering what happened. Everyone was scattered around the dinning hall, dancing, eating, and talking like nothing had happened. Mario stood, pushing his chair out from underneath him and rubbed his head. His eyes widened as he glared at his arm, around his wrist was the time machine's wristband.

The time machine had actually worked. Mario, and all of his friends were sent back to their original time period, before the incident had happened that caused Regga City a miserable future. He needed to act fast, before it was too late. He doesn't know much time he has, so needs to find Link and Ganondorf quick.

Before Mario had a chance to react, Marth ran up to him. The prince explained to Mario that Fox had gone already to look for Link. The two smashers teamed up and left the dinning hall, out into the hallways where the dorms were. They abruptly ran down the hallways searching for anyone who might know where Link, Ganondorf or Fox had gone.

Luckily, the two located the small group outside, in the middle of the campus near the small park and garden. Fox already confronted the group, but wasn't having any luck. Ganondorf and Bowser were both there leading Link and Zelda away as the two hurried over toward them. Mario felt sick to his stomach seeing his two enemies alive. Link and Zelda were all dressed up for the dance. The Hero of Time still wore his golden crown proving his success in the tournament.

" Link! Stop!" Mario shouted.

Link abruptly stopped and turned raising an eyebrow turning to the two smashers running up to him. " What's with you guys? Fox was telling me to stop as well. What's going on?"

" Don't go with Ganondorf!" Marth snapped, turning his attention to the Guerdo who seemed anxious that his cover was blown.

" Go where?" Link asked, switching glances from them to Ganondorf.

Ganondorf abruptly shook his head stepping closer to Link, trying to persuade him to leave. " Don't listen to them, follow me--"

" We know what's going to happen." Fox explained interrupting. His eyebrows arched in fury, as he turned to Ganondorf. " We know what's Ganondorf planning. He's going to control you!"

Ganondorf's eyes widened. " What?"

Bowser panicked, and shook his head. " Our cover is blown!"

" Shut the hell up!" Ganondorf snapped, raising his hand almost to strike at the turtle. He calmed down, looking back at the three smashers who arrived. " How do you know?"

It was silent for a moment, as the three smashers looked at each other. Should they try to explain their reason, or come up with something easier and believable? Time travel, PRC members, Link turning evil…no one will probably believe them.

Fox was the one who stepped up first, thinking of something to say. " Let's just say we went through it all." He smirked and turned to Link. " Link, it's time to take pictures anyway. Master Hand is looking for you."

Link nodded and took Zelda's hand. " Let's go Zel, we're missing the party."

Mario watched as Link and Zelda both walked away from Ganondorf, heading back inside to the dance. It was finally over…and now he felt like rejoicing. They managed to go through time, stop three powerful smashers and save Regga City…or more importantly the world. With the help of old friends, and new ones as well, they managed to triumph over evil. The tournament would never compare to the wild adventure they had gone through.

Marth crossed his arms looking over at Ganondorf and Bowser, taunting them. " You guys failed."

" How did you know?" Ganondorf demanded, his hands rolled into fists.

" We're helping our friend," Mario replied, his voice slowly trailed off, as he noticed the heated Guerdo. "…Making sure he stays the way he is."

" You guys don't even like him!" Ganondorf shouted.

Fox shook his head. " We may have said some rude things, but thanks to you, we know now, it was wrong."

" I won't let you three ruin my plan!" Ganondorf charged for the three leaping forward.

The smashers jumped to the side, getting out of the way of Ganondorf's attack. Bowser frowned and stepped back. He kept his distance nervously watching them. Ganondorf ran over toward Fox, holding his hands out in front of him. Marth jumped in the line of attack protecting the young Fox, but Ganondorf violently shoved him to the side. Before Fox could react, Ganondorf grabbed Fox's neck, lifting the smasher off the ground.

" Ganondorf! What the hell is going on?" A voice boomed from behind them.

Everyone turned their attention to Master Hand who headed out onto the campus. Link and Zelda both stood by the door, watching excitedly as Master Hand broke up the battle.

" Master Hand…" Fox gasped.

Ganondorf released his grip on Fox, dropping him to the ground. Fox held his neck running over toward Marth and Mario, watching Master Hand yell at Ganondorf for starting a battle on campus territory.

" You know better! I don't want to see this again! You are expelled from the REST of the dance, I better NOT see you there again!"

Ganondorf frowned, his striking red eyes turned to the group of smashers, who were safely behind Master Hand. He sighed irritated and turned walking away with Bowser abruptly following. Master Hand waited until Ganondorf and Bowser were out of sight, before silently walking by the three smashers over toward Link and Zelda.

Mario chuckled and smirked nodding at this two friends. His eyes suddenly widened as he looked down at his arm. " Guys look!"

Marth and Fox both turned following Mario's gaze. They all watched amazed, knowing that all of their hard work has come to end. They traveled great distances through time, and saved the world. They were finally able to relax, and finish their last day in the tournament in peace. For tomorrow they all were heading home.

" It's finally over…" Mario let out a relieving sigh.

The future was saved, and all the proof they needed was right in front of them. The wristband had finally disappeared.


A/N:

Hopefully this chapter turned out well, at first I wasn't happy, but after re-reading it, I'm pleased. Yes, like I had said before this is the last chapter featuring cameos. I thank all of the cameos now, for wanting to be apart of the story and letting me use their characters or themselves. I had a very fun and exciting time doing this story and…god what am I saying? There's one more chapter left, so look out for the last chapter.

Until Next Time!
