Now for Chapter 14!

Falco: OH NO! NOT CHAPTER 14!

Mr. G&W: 14's my favorite number! Yayness for favorite number!

Falco, you disclaim.

Falco: And it's about time too!...wait, darn you! RF doesn't own us, but the story ideas are hers.

Mr. G&W: Can I do it?

Go ahead.

Mr. G&W: Yayness! (Shakes pompoms) C-H-A-P-T-E-R 14! GO CHAPTER 14!

Pikachu ran through the halls. Never did he expect to hear what his father had just told him. The words kept running through his head as he zoomed down the halls.

'I can't believe he told me that,' he thought to himself. 'I have to tell the princess, now!'

Upon reaching the prison, he was happy to see both Zelda and Samus awake. "Your Highnesses!" he cried out.

"Pikachu? What's wrong?" Samus asked. "You never lost your cool before…"

"Yes, let me calm myself," Pikachu said, closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. At long last, he opened them again and faced Zelda. "I'm afraid my news is hurtful upon you, Zelda."

"What is it?" Zelda asked. Pikachu shook his head.

"Captain Falcon has just left to try and take Peach. However, I'm confident that she won't be taken so easily."

"That's good!" Samus said. Pikachu shook his head again.

"Yes and no," he said. "If Falcon is to fail, Ganondorf is to join him the next time he attacks the Mushroom Kingdom. He might want to finish what he started at the Hyrule Temple."

"NO!" Zelda cried. Samus placed an understanding hand on her shoulder.

"I wouldn't worry," she said. "They're in the MK; most likely things are going to be different."

"Yes, yes," Zelda muttered. "Must…be…calm…"

"You love your bodyguard, don't you?" Pikachu asked.

"I knew him back when he was still a prince," Zelda said. "I'm sure that if the massacres hadn't happened, or rather, if he wasn't blamed for doing them, I would've been marrying him instead."

"But what about Link?" Samus asked.

"I have to marry someone before my 20th birthday," Zelda said. "I'm already 19, and my father didn't want me to wait until the last minuet. We sent emissaries to the surrounding kingdoms; no one wanted to marry."

"What about your bodyguard?" Pikachu asked.

"He lost his title, and was exiled from his homeland; father didn't want me to marry him. It took all the persuasion in me to convince my father to let him be my bodyguard. In the end, the only person left was Link."

"And thus Link changed," Samus said. "He sold you out, though; are you going to still stay engaged?"

"No," Zelda said firmly. "I don't care anymore. I would rather not be a princess than stuck with him!"

"Well, I suppose all we can do now is hope for the best," Pikachu said. "I shall get more information, take care of yourselves."

Zelda and Samus nodded, and Pikachu left.

Meanwhile, day had finally risen. Peach was watching from her lookout point as Roy and Dr. Mario faced off against Falcon.

"You! Clone! What are you doing over there?" Falcon asked bitterly. "You're to work for Lord Mewtwo!"

"I do not serve him!" Dr. Mario said. "I am Dr. Mario, and I only serve the General Roy!"

"He's a general?" Peach asked herself softly. "Must be part of his mysterious past…"

"You think you can take me, don't you?" Falcon asked. "I don't care who you are; I'll kill you all!" He held his hands in front of him. "Lighting Shocker!"

Three bolts of electricity rushed towards them. Dr. Mario was able to dodge, but Roy wasn't as lucky and got hit in the shoulder. He cried out in pain. Dr. Mario ran up to him.

"Don't worry; you'll be okay," he said. He placed his right hand over Roy's injury. "Full Heal!"

The wound as closed; it was as if nothing had happened. Roy smiled at the doc in thanks as he charged at Falcon and unleashed his Flare Blade. Falcon was struck dumb and flew into the wall. He got up, and held his hands in front of him.

"See how you handle this! Thunder Shocker!" he cried as two stronger bolts of electricity rushed at them. Both were able to dodge; Roy had dutifully grabbed Peach and led her out of harm's way. Making sure she was safe on the opposite side, he rushed back into battle. The princess blushed as she watched him go.

Falcon had jumped onto the highest point of the rooftop. He was about to pull out his strongest lighting attack when he was struck by a huge wall of earth. Since earth was strong against thunder, and he was a thunder user, the move was very effective. Roy turned around; how Kirby managed to get behind him and attack without him knowing was a mystery. But he was glad Kirby showed up.

"Dang! You're the earth user!" Falcon cried.

"Yeah, live with it!" Kirby shouted. "Trampoline!"

And just like the last time he used the move, Falcon was shot into the air. He yelled quite loudly as he flew away from the castle.

"Good, he's gone, for now," Roy muttered. Kirby looked confused.

"For now?" he asked.

"Kirby, I want you to get your sword master and the pokemon. Falcon will be back, and I know Ganondorf will be with him," Roy said. "Make sure you come back here when you do find them!" Kirby nodded and left. Roy turned to Dr. Mario. "Doc, I want you to lead Peach to her room and stay with her."

"But I—" Dr. Mario started to say. Roy shook his head.

"You'll have the advantage against Ganondorf, since he'll probably be weakened after dealing with us and you're a light user. Find any guard and tell them to tell this to the captain, 'Falcon's gone for now, but he'll be back with Ganondorf. Get all men to protect the Princess. I and the warriors from Hyrule will hold them off on the roof."

"Yes," Dr. Mario said, nodding. He walked up to Peach. "Let us go Princess. This place will be dangerous."

Peach nodded, but before she left she gave Roy a hug.

"Please don't die," she whispered.

"I promise," Roy said. Peach nodded and left with Dr. Mario. In no time, Kirby had reappeared, with Marth, Pichu, and Jigglypuff behind him.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Kirby asked.

"Kirby, we'll take Falcon," Roy said. "I'll leave the rest of you to take Ganondorf."

"Oh yeah!" Pichu said, smirking. "I have the Ultimate Prank ready to go; I shall have my revenge!"

"This will defiantly be interesting," Marth said. He motioned to the two pokemon. "They've been practicing."

"I help in fight!" Jigglypuff cried. "I help Master and Pichu!"

"Well, places everyone, because here they come," Roy said. Kirby followed him and they took their places over on the right side of the roof. On the left side, Pichu got into his hiding place, holding something in his paws. Jigglypuff floated over to the top of the roof, where she stood by, while her master merely took out his sword and was looking at it.

Falcon and Ganondorf made their entrances. Falcon looked pissed that Kirby was still helping Roy fight. They immediately got into battle, no words were spoken. The left side, however, was different.

"I'm surprised you're still alive boy," Ganondorf said. "You should've just died at that temple."

"That's what you think," Marth said coolly. He signaled with his sword. "Pichu, Jigglypuff, now!"

"Wha?" Ganondorf had no time to finish his sentence, for a bright light shined into his eyes. It was Jigglypuff, holding her hands up to the sky. Ganondorf then felt objects being pierced into his shoulders. "What are these things?"

"Mushroom crosses," Marth said. "Objects of pure holiness; they weaken those following the dark."

"You—" he cast his hands out and dimmed the light, then was knocked to the ground, soaking wet. Pichu had just thrown a bucket of water at him. He got up, spitting the water, glaring angrily at the laughing Pichu. "How dare you! You will die for that, you little rat!"

"No way! I shall have my revenge!" Pichu cried, getting into a fighting stance.

"It's time for a rematch," Marth said, also getting into a fighting stance. "And this time, we won't lose!"

Luigi: Hopefully, right? End of chapter!

Marth: Did the prank look familiar? Pichu's used it before, on me I'll add.

Luigi: The Ultimate Prank, because Pichu is so good at it. Nice way to end, though; looks like a cliffhanger of sorts to me!

Marth: Hopefully the readers won't get too angry. Anyway, review!
