Wow…only two significant weeks of school left. For me, anyway. And that's not including finals, because finals are half days and don't involve learning.

Here is chapter 23!

I don't own Rat Race, of course. Or Fire Emblem. XD

Young Link slowly walked through the mansion, trying to avoid Samus. He had lifted one of her suits to equip on Amelia, and things hadn't gone well from there…

"WHERE ARE YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT?" Samus shrieked from the dining room. He shuddered and made a run for Captain Falcon and Ganondorf's room, hoping that she would be to repulsed by the lingering Captain Falcon smell to get anywhere near it. Unfortunately for him, he was unable, to stomach the odor either, and had to try Marth and Roy's room instead.

"What are you doing here?" Marth asked scornfully. "I believe the kiddie pool is in the simulated courtyard."

"Samus is trying to kill me" Young Link whispered. Marth's eyes widened.

"Well, why are you dragging me into it? Get away!" the prince squealed. He hurled Young Link out of the room and slammed the door.

"Don't think I've giving you my leftovers tonight!" Young Link yelled through the door. He then turned and came face-to-face with a very angry bounty hunter.

"What a wonderfully perfect opportunity to test out my new Blonde-Away!" Samus said with a sugar-coated grin plastered on her face. She raised her arm cannon and fired at Young Link.

As it turned out, the Blonde-Away Beam had a large splash radius, and hit both of the light-haired Smashers. A dense black fog surrounded the two for several seconds.

Marth opened his door and peeked outside. He saw Samus and Young Link lying on the ground, with the new feature of blue skin.

"Coooool," he said.

Fox and DK were trying to pry two combating Smashers apart.

"I'm good!" Dr. Mario called as he strained to pull out a Megavitamin to throw at Mario.

"I'm better-a!" Mario retorted, clutching at his cape.

"I'm best!" Dr. Mario exclaimed. He grabbed his stethoscope and whacked Fox with it.

"I'm bester!" Mario cackled. He shoved his feet into DK's torso and flew at Dr. Mario.

"Yo momma's bester!" Dr. Mario yelled.

The two collided and a gray cloud surrounded them, occasionally ejecting lightning bolts and flames. When it subsided, the two Italians lay exhausted on the floor.

Captain Falcon suddenly ran in. "You are both under arrest for causing a public disturbance!" he shouted as he whipped out a brand new police badge.

Suddenly Tracy from Rat Race crashed through the dining room wall in a Flying Fortress of Doom 2007 from Mewtwo's Black Market Incorporated! She charged at Captain Falcon and screamed obscenities at him while shooting seven machine guns at once. Captain Falcon screamed and ran through a nearby door.

"Doesn't that go to the Oil Tank Room?" Fox asked.

"Me no know," DK answered. "Too many rooms with no point."

"I like pointless rooms!" Dr. Mario said as he pushed himself up. He then tackled Mario and began to whack him with his mallet.

Tracy suddenly returned, looking content. "that was fun!" she called to the Smashers. "I got to blow him up five times before he ran into the basement!" She waved and flew off into the distance.

DK grunted. "Lucky."

Kirby floated into the hangar and began to seach methodically for a wrench to take the sink disposal apart.

"Who is it?" Amelia called. Kirby turned around and saw her standing next to her box, looking rather dejected.

"Hi, Amelia!" he called. "What's going on?"

"I am sad. Mewtwo has died, and I will not see him again for a long time." She turned to Kirby. "Is this typical of robots?"

"Uh…" Kirby thought for a second. "Well, lots of times robots are able to overcome their natures and gain souls. That happens a lot, actually, especially with morphs, although they aren't exactly the same as robots."

Suddenly the legion of morphs from the Manor appeared! "Damn. Right." They said in chorus. They teleported away, leaving a very confused puffball and a less confused cyberchick.

"This is good," Amelia said. "I feel more human now. Perhaps I can become like a Pokemon as well."

Kirby hesitated. "Uh, sure. But you might want to ask Young Link to give you a tail or something."

Amelia looked at him. "Thank you, Kirby. Would you like a cherry pie?" Her abdomen opened, revealing a very delicious looking cherry pie.

"Hey, your food dispenser works!" Kirby cheered. He inhaled the pie and grinned.

"Aww…" Master Hand grabbed a tissue and then realized that he doesn't have eyes.

The four remaining Smashers sat around the dining room table. Marth occasionally looked up from his meal to stare at Samus and Young Link, who looked very unhappy with their blue bodies.

"This is your fault, you know," Young Link said.

"My fault? You're the one who stole my Gravity Suit!" Samus snarled.

"You're the one who's too stupid to remember her own hair color!" Young Link yelled back. "And you call yourself FEMALE!"

Samus grabbed a pineapple off of her plate and threw it at Young Link. He dodged, grabbed a ketchup bottle, and sprayed it on Samus.

"Guys, no!" Kirby yelled. "You're wasting food that I could be eating!" He quickly flew over to Samus' plate and began inhaling everything on it. She picked him up and threw him at Young Link instead. Young Link flew back in his chair and hit his head on the pineapple.

"…wow." Marth muttered as he ate his pizza.

Peach and Zelda sat in the ballroom once again. Peach was laying flat on the ground and wearing a blissful smile.

"JOY!" Peach cried out.

Falco poked hi head in and stared at Peach. "What's going on?" he asked Zelda.

"I had to give her one of Jigglypuff's happy pills," Zelda explained. "She was really upset about the "defacement of all things culinary'…"

Falco looked at her skeptically. "One?"

Zelda rolled her eyes. "Okay, five. She was going ballistic!"

"HAPPY!" Peach yelled. She folded her arms and began to roll around.

"…I'm leaving now," Falco said as he turned around.

Roy and Link sat in an Arena near the Manor, watching gladiator battles.

"I miss Marth," Roy said, wiping his eyes. "I can hardly remember the radians that his arms moves when he uses his left jab."

Link looked at Roy. "You're weird." He then turned his attention back to the fight, where a monk with an orange afro had just annihilated a paladin.

"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff cheered as she returned with some steaks. "Jiggly jiggly Jigglypuff!"

"I think the cute archer's up next," Link said.

"Which one? The green haired one, or the one who started crying halfway through the fight?"

"Jiggly," Jigglypuff said. She pointed to the scoreboard.

REBECCA VS. GENERIC SAGE

"Why are all these guys named Generic?" Roy asked.

"Because they're generic, I guess," Link responded.

The two combatants walked onto the field. The sage shot Rexbolt at Rebecca, who dodged and fired seven arrows into the sage's nose. She turned to the crowd, curtsied, and then walked back into the building.

"Archers are so hot," Link said.

"Yep," Roy agreed.

Young Link sat in his room, trying to find some way to counteract the blueness of Samus' Blonde-Away Beam.

"This is ridiculous!" he shouted. "Why did she have to do that?" He scrubbed at his chin with a washcloth, but to no avail.

"Young."

He turned around and saw Amelia standing in the doorway. She looked pretty out of it.

"Link."

She began to walk toward him. He put his washcloth down and sat on the counter. "What's up, Amelia?" he asked.

"Time. To. Go." She took two more steps toward him.

"…Did you get drunk?" Young Link asked. "even though that isn't technically possible?"

Amelia grabbed his shoulders. "It is. Time. To go."

She exploded.

Mewtwo sat in the Technical Room, trying to build an improved version of the Blonde-Away Beam. As he worked, a strange mist appeared nearby.

"What?" he grunted at the cloud. He used his psychic powers to shift the water particles away from the center. They moved away obediently, revealing Amelia and Young Link in the center.

"She killed me!" Young Link screamed. "My own robot killed me!" He slapped his forehead. "I should have made an anti-corruption device!"

Mewtwo floated over to Amelia and hugged her. "It is good to see you once again," he said.

"I am glad to see you too, Mewtwo." Amelia said.

Young Link sighed. "Well, at least my work on her didn't go to waste." He walked out the door and searched for Ness.

And Young Link & Amelia are gone! Now all that's left are Kirby, Marth, and Samus…who will win?

…Bye.
