Young Link stood in the hangar, checking Amelia for any signs of malfunction. So far all of the weapons systems were working accurately, and her sensors were fine. Her infrared vision wasn't quite right, but he hadn't finished installing all of the parts, so that was no big deal.

"Hmm…activate homing sensors and find the position of Ness," he commanded.

There was a loud clicking noise, and then a response. "Ness is presently 2,410 feet under the Smash Manor's foyer, in the 'Handy Food Making Plant'," Amelia responded in her robotic drone.

Young Link frowned. "That's weird…what's 'Handy' supposed to mean, anyway?" He began to ponder it for a few seconds.

The clicking noise came from Amelia again. "Handy is probably a reference to Master and/or Crazy Hand. It could also refer to convenience."

Young Link grinned. "All right! I'm glad you're auto-response feature is working right. Let's see…I guess you can power down for now."

Amelia's eyes (which were currently two laser pointers) grew dark. So far she didn't look like the Uber Robot of Death and Adult Link Crushing he wanted her to be. She was pretty much wires, really.

He bent over and began installing a new component for her infrared sensors. As he worked, he heard the sound of the hangar door opening.

"Well, if it isn't Young Link," Ganondorf said amiably. As odd as it was, they had grown to be friends – mostly because they shared an immense dislike for Zelda's current boyfriend.

"Hey, Ganondorf!" Young Link squeaked as he jumped up and stood in front of his creation.

"…What's that?" Ganondorf asked.

"It's, uh…it's…uh…"

Samus then walked in. "We've really got to do something about all this pink," she griped. "It's driving me…WHOA!" She ran over to the robot. "This thing is awesome! Are you building it?" She turned to Young Link.

"Uh…yeah…"

Samus grinned. "I should have known. I had no idea you were so good with machinery."

"Heh, thanks," Young Link said, starting to grow more comfortable with the situation. "Ness helped out a lot early on, so I could get a good idea of the schematics and stuff."

Ganondorf walked over to them. "Once again…what is it, exactly?"

"It's an all-purpose combat…well, I assume it will be an android. She can find anything on whatever planet she's on, and she has all sorts of weaponry equipped…and…is this a Unlimited Pepsi Dispenser?" she asked in awe. "Where did you get that?"

"Mewtwo's Black Market," the boy responded.

Samus frowned. "Well, I can't say I approve of your sources…but this is truly an amazing weapon!"

"I take it she's for anti-Link purposes?" Ganondorf asked.

"Yeah."

Ganondorf grinned. "Well, I'm willing to help out!"

Samus stared adoringly at the robot. "Can I help, too? I know a lot more about this than you or Ness would…"

"…Yeah, sure. As long as you don't tell anyone else about it. Especially Zelda."

Ganondorf eyed Young Link. "How far behind are you, anyway? Didn't you hear that the Psycho Killer got to her?"

"Really?" Young Link asked. "That's interesting. It seems like he or she would have waited to take her on. She's much more defensive than most of us."

"Well, maybe that's why Bowser killed her," Samus said.

"You think it's Bowser?" Young Link inquired.

"YES! Who else would kill someone by dropping a chandelier on Jigglypuff? Or by putting a huge hole under DK's bed? Or by rigging Ness' bedroom lamp? I mean, seriously!"

Young Link looked over to Amelia. "I dunno…those things seem like stuff that Mewtwo might do. He could come up with stuff that did any of those things."

Samus snorted.

"I'm not really sure who it is," Ganondorf mused, "but I think it might be Peach. Mario and Dr. Mario died off pretty quickly since she and Bowser started hanging out…of course, I guess that suits Bowser, too."

"Hmm…Amelia, wake up!"

Amelia's eyes lit back up and she rose out of her metal box. "Yes, master?"

Samus laughed. "Nice touch."

"Amelia, I want you to accept orders from Ganondorf and Samus from now on. Also, I need you to do something for me."

Amelia stared at him. "What do you require of me?"

"I need you to monitor Peach and Bowser over the next week. I want to know what they're doing…"

"My sensors are not fully functional. I will not be able to track them when they enter the dining room, arcade, or the rooms on the western side of the LCHH."

"…Oh. Right." Young Link turned to the couple. "I guess we'll have to wait until she's complete. That's one of the last parts to install."

Samus sighed. "Well, it's okay. I'm ready for that turtle-thing."

Ganondorf looked at the ruined Arwings. "Oh, by the way – Fox is out to kill you. He said that he's going to kill you and then jump up and down on your corpse."

Young Link smiled. "I'm not afraid of him. I'm more worried about Adult Link. He's gonna be mad now…"


Fox lay on his bed, sobbing into his pillow and beating the mattress. "Why? Why did he tear my ship apart?" He looked over at the clock. 5:15.

Time dragged when you were lamenting the loss of your most prized possession.


Peach walked into the dining room to find the Ice Climbers and Mewtwo waiting for her. "We're ready for dinner!" Popo exclaimed.

"They've been making snow cones for the last hour," Mewtwo growled. "I hope you're planning on making a very quick meal."

"Don't worry, Mewtwo, I'm only making pizza." She looked to the Ice Climbers. "How are you making snow cones, anyway? I thought we left the ice machine at the Smash Manor."

"We made the ice ourselves!" Nana yelled. The two seemed to be on some form of high, hopefully off of the sugar in snow cones.

"Ness wanted me to tell you that Zelda wishes it was as pink there as it is here…" Mewtwo muttered. "That's the last message I'm delivering, by the way."

"Hmm…well, thanks." She walked into the kitchen to find Luigi napping on the counter.

"Uh…shouldn't you be in your room?" she asked.

"I can't sleep in there anymore!" Luigi exclaimed. "I'm so worried that the Psycho Killer will leave another trap for me!"

Peach folded her arms. "And the solution to that is sleeping in the room where we keep the butcher knives?"

Luigi squealed and ran from the room. Peach took a second to blink, and then went on to prepare her meal.


Captain Falcon stood in the arcade, waiting for someone to enter. He still needed to unleash his wrath on somebody. Ganondorf and Samus…Ganondorf and Samus…

Fortunately for everyone in the LCHH, somebody else had decided to take out his or her wrath on him. Before he knew what had happened, the F-Zero simulator he was standing next to exploded.


When he woke up, he was in a large, dome-shaped room. The first thing he heard was…

"RUN! It's Captain Falcon!"

There was a sound of a door closing, and then something melting. When the captain sat up, he was a blast door across the room from him, the two sections of it stuck together.

"...I thought we were going back to the Manor!" he grumbled.


And that's Chapter 11!

Valete…
