Now let's do chapter 16! Woo!

Falco: Okay, so, HOW much longer is this going to last?

Mr. G&W: What…?

Flaco, we just got to Peach's kidnap; we still have quite a way to go.

Falco: Aww…not fair…

Game Watch, please disclaim.

Mr. G&W: RoyalFanatic doesn't own us, the MK, Goomba Village, or Hyrule, but she does own everything else!

Falco: Okay, well, here's chapter 16, so we can get closer to the end!

When Pikachu reached the rooftop of the kingdom, he was shocked to see the damage.

The giant pillar in the center had collapsed; leaving the place in shambles. Pichu and Jigglypuff were both in fainted conditions. The mouse wanted to shout in rage. His kind, one of his own species, was hurt. How much more of this nonsense could he take? The injustice of it all killed him!

Just as he was about to enter the castle, he felt a cool breeze coming from the humongous pile of rubble. He turned to it, and ran up to the top, clearing away the rubble as he tried to reach the center of the pile, hoping for the best.

Kirby was wide-eyed upon seeing his sword master's blade in Ganondorf's hand. Anger swept throughout his body and he charged at him.

"You…you…yahhhh!" he could only scream as he held his blade above his head. Ganondorf rolled his eyes.

"You will learn your place," he said. He held Falchion in front of him. "Fear the power of your sword master!" He flicked his wrist and ten icicles shot at Kirby. The poor star warrior took all ten and was shot into a wall.

"Kirby!" Dr. Mario cried, heading over to the unconscious puff ball. Roy took out the Sword of Seals and ran forward.

"I already failed Peach…but I will not fail the Chancellor!" he shouted. "I will not betray my kingdom!"

"Foolish boy. Prepare to die!" Ganondorf shouted at him, meeting Roy's Sword of Seals with his own dark blade.

Pikachu was still pushing rubble away. He jumped back when he knew he did his job. After a second, Marth was able to push away the remaining pile on top of him.

Slightly bruised and scratched; the only major injury he probably had was a second scar that cut across his first one like an "X". Pikachu walked up to him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Depends," Marth replied. "So you want good news or bad?"

"You know who I am?" Pikachu asked. Marth nodded.

"You're Pikachu, right? What brings you here?" he asked.

"Well, when Ganondorf hadn't showed up, I decided to come and see what he was doing," Pikachu said. "His only orders were to help D.K. capture Princess Peach, not attack the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Heartless worm," Marth muttered. He then noticed Pikachu looking at him weirdly. "What's wrong?"

Pikachu handed him a broken piece of a window. He observed the "X" mark on his face.

"Nice," he said. "If things get worse, I could live in Brinstar." He reached into his belt and pulled out two revives. He gave them to the fainted Pichu and Jigglypuff.

"Aww man!" Pichu complained. "I can't believe he won! And he had those crosses on him too!"

"What we do now?" Jigglypuff asked. "Do we fight Ganondorf?"

"I got a better idea," Pikachu said. "My father told me to get prisoners if possible. Since I know you're dead worried about Princess Zelda…"

"Why would you help us?" Pichu asked.

"How could I not help my kin?" Pikachu asked. Pichu smiled. "I already have a plan. Here's what we do…"

While Ganondorf realized that his opponent was strong, he knew that his weakness was his emotions. If he could get Roy upset, or hesitating, perhaps he could claim the kingdom?

"You're skills are dull," he said as he easily dodged the oncoming Roy. "How could one such as you be a guardsman?"

"That is none of your concern!" Roy said. "I will not allow you to take the Mushroom Kingdom!"

"Why are you so determined to protect this kingdom?" Ganondorf asked as they clashed swords. "Does it have something to do with, oh say, your past?"

Roy flinched, but was able to dodge Ganondorf's sword. He jumped back.

"My past has nothing to do with this!" he shouted.

"Then why are you getting so upset?" Ganondorf asked, charging at Roy. He had him in the palm of his hand.

"My past…" Roy muttered to himself. He held up the Sword of Seals and countered Ganondorf's attack. Roy seemed to catch on to Ganondorf's tactics and calmed himself. "You attacked Hyrule and now us; you have stolen and helped steal Princess Zelda and Princess Peach. You have not the right to know about my past."

"You think you're so special, don't you boy?" Ganondorf asked, with a smirk on his face. "You will pay for your foolish words!"

The doors of the throne room blew off their hinges, and Pikachu stood in the door way. He had an angry glare on his face.

"Ganondorf, you will stand down!" he shouted. Ganondorf turned and faced him.

"Lord Pikachu! What brings you here?" he asked.

"You know full well!" Pikachu replied. He was still shouting. "Your orders were to assure Peach's kidnap by attacking the rooftop with Falcon. You were not ordered to capture the kingdom!"

"But we can take it!" Ganondorf cried. "This is the perfect time! You're father is foolish to waste this opportunity!"

"ENOUGH!" Pikachu bellowed. "You are a servant of my father, yet you speak against him. Do not forget you can be easily removed! You've done enough; Peach is ours and we have prisoners. Unless you forgotten that my father wanted prisoners, not kingdoms."

Prisoners…the word shocked Roy. Ganondorf looked angry; he opened his mouth to protest when Jigglypuff barged in.

"Roy! Kirby!" she cried, running over to them. Roy picked up the pokemon and held her.

"Lord Pikachu, what is the meaning of this?" Ganondorf asked.

"They're strong," Pikachu said. "If you hadn't spoken out against my father, she wouldn't have escaped! Now we leave, before the others escape too!"

Ganondorf looked bitter, but nodded and teleported away. Pikachu spat on the ground and left the doorway. He could hear Roy's voice and knew the red-haired general was following him. Pikachu dashed through the hallways, heading for the entrance of the castle.

A minuet after Pikachu exited the castle, Roy did too. He was still holding Jigglypuff. He scanned the grounds, until he could see three figures far ahead. One looked human; the other two looked like pokemon. One of the pokemon raised its head, and a lightning bolt struck the three. Where they once stood was nothing but burnt ground.

"They got away!" Jigglypuff cried.

Roy kicked the ground. "Oh man! What did we do to deserve this? C'mon; let's get back to the Chancellor."

They entered the castle and headed back to the throne room. Kirby was awake and brooding; Dr. Mario had told him what happened. Upon seeing Roy and Jigglypuff, he looked at them hopefully.

"Well?" he asked. Jigglypuff gently freed herself and bounced to the Chancellor.

"You no worry," she said.

"What does that mean, Jigglypuff?" The Chancellor asked. "Your master was just taken prisoner, as well as a friend."

"Was unintentional, yes, but intentional also," Jigglypuff said. Roy and Kirby looked confused, Dr. Mario's face brightened up, and the Chancellor nodded.

"Very well then," the Chancellor said. "Let's hope everything goes well."

"Yes," Jigglypuff said.

"Chancellor, what is Jigglypuff talking about?" Roy asked.

"If what she says is true, we have a friend in the V.A.," the Chancellor said. "Perhaps the prisoners WANTED to head over to the V.A.'s home."

Roy and Kirby finally understood. They both nodded. Roy turned to Jigglypuff.

"Where do they reside? What defenses do they have?" he asked her. Jigglypuff then began to tell them everything Pikachu told her.

Luigi: You got captured, but it was good?

Marth: It'll be great seeing Zelda and Peach safe.

Luigi: Pikachu rocks, simple as that. He deserves a good master. (Looks at Marth)

Marth: Perhaps so, perhaps not. We'll see.

Luigi: Review guys!
