Alright then, let's continue. Here's chapter 17.
Falco: There better not be more than 25 chapters!
Flaco? You're bored?
Falco: Yeah, and don't call me that!
Game Watch, you disclaim.
Mr. G&W: RoyalFanatic doesn't own most of the stuff in the story, but she does own the V.A., the Brinstar Kingdom, and the story itself, I suppose…
Okay then, well, enjoy!
Pikachu walked the two "prisoners" to his father's room.
"Most likely he won't care about where I put you guys," Pikachu said. "But just in case he does, I'll make sure you both get to see the three princess at least once."
"You must really hate Mewtwo," Marth said. "To do this much for us and the princesses..."
"He's a menace!" Pikachu cried out. "He plans on removing all true living beings and replace them with clones! Did he forget his so-called son was one of the true living?"
"So, what do we do?" Pichu asked.
"Just look hopeless," Pikachu said. "You guys are trapped, with no way out; make sure you look that way."
"Got it!" Pichu shouted happily; then put on an EXTREMELY sad face as the three enter Mewtwo's room.
"Father, I've brought prisoners," Pikachu said. Mewtwo looked up from his ball.
"Well well, if it isn't Hyrule's exiled!" he said. "I saw all; frankly, I was most upset."
"What makes you say that?" Marth asked coolly.
"If you were still allowed to live in Hyrule, I wouldn't have to put all my minions on the line in order to nab Peach," Mewtwo said, equally coolly.
"You think we wouldn't have showed up?" Pichu asked. "Because we would've had!"
"But I wouldn't have needed to worry about sending Ganondorf and D.K. to get Peach," Mewtwo said. "After all, you would've still stayed in Hyrule, helping out a broken friend; a friend who decided to betray you instead of being honest."
Pichu began shaking; for he noticed Ganondorf and Falcon enter the room.
"Lord Mewtwo, everything is…" Ganondorf began speaking, but fell silent upon seeing Marth alive and, for the most part, well. "What the heck? How did you survive?"
"So, he is the boy you were talking about," Mewtwo muttered, looking over the swordsman carefully. "Hmmm…power wise, you're somewhat lacking, but speed and accuracy wise, you're very well. I'm impressed. Perhaps I shall make a clone of you next."
Ganondorf's eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets. It seems that nothing was working his way anymore! First Pikachu is allowed to talk with the princesses, then he's forced to retreat BEFORE he could claim the Mushroom Kingdom, THEN the boy he fails to kill is guaranteed his pathetic life! He opened his mouth to speak, but Falcon kicked him.
"Don't say a word!" Falcon hissed into his ear. "Lord Mewtwo's words are final!"
"Yay, I'm honored," Marth said sarcastically.
"Pikachu, I understand you're watching the princesses?" Mewtwo asked. Pikachu nodded. "Very well then, you may put these two with them. I will have no word against it."
Ganondorf looked like someone stepped on his foot. Pichu smiled, because when Ganondorf looked down, he realized that Falcon had indeed stepped on his foot. The King of Evil angrily punched the ex-racer as Pikachu led his prisoners away.
"That was good!" Pikachu said. "It's been a while since Falcon had to actually calm the loser down. This way; the princesses are down here."
Pikachu led the two down to the depths of the Temple, finally stopping when they reached a door. Pikachu knocked; then entered.
It was a simple jail room, with two cells. In one of them were Samus, Zelda, and Peach. They looked up; all three were expecting Pikachu, but not the other two.
"Pardon, but I'm afraid you three will have some guests," Pikachu said. Pichu bounced up and down, despite the chain collar around his neck.
"Master! Master! You live!" Pichu cried. "I mean, I knew you were okay, but I just HAD to say it!"
Peach and Samus laughed. Zelda was speechless. They were both okay.
"Pikachu, I thank you," Zelda said. She turned to her pokemon and guard. "It's wonderful to see you both again."
"It truly is," Marth said, bowing.
"What he said," Pichu said, bobbing his head.
"So polite!" Samus said. "I should have people like that!"
"Okay then," Pikachu said, opening the door of the second cell. "You guys will have to wait it out here."
"I heard about Ganondorf almost taking my home," Peach said. "Is Roy okay?"
"Pikachu here made sure of that, or so I heard!" Pichu said happily.
"Yes, Roy is unharmed, but Dr. Mario seemed to have lost his arm," Pikachu said. The three maidens hissed in sympathy. "But he is still as alive as he can be; after all, he was built to be able to take severe damage. But I'm afraid I won't be able to talk with you ladies much longer."
"Why's that?" Samus asked. Pikachu bowed solemnly.
"I'm afraid I can't help you when it comes to when you guys are to make Link's clone," he said. "My time of aiding you is almost up. I hope you forgive me."
"There's nothing you can do?" Samus asked. Pikachu shook his head. "Well, you did enough. You kept on going even though Ganondorf started to suspect you."
"And I knew I had a good reason to!" Ganondorf's voice rang out. The maidens gasped in horror as the king himself appeared. "Lord Pikachu, how could you be so dishonorable?"
"I am dishonorable?" Pikachu asked. "I did nothing but ease the minds of these troubled women. I did not steal them from their homes, almost destroy their loved ones, more than once for the Princess Zelda, and almost take their homes! My father should be thanking me!"
"You are nothing more than a spoiled child," Ganondorf said. He pointed over to Marth and Pichu. "What about these two? I know you plan on helping them set the princesses free. Perhaps even help the Link clone escape too, like you did for the Mario clone we made!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Pikachu said. "And remember I have higher power than you do! My father would not believe you, no matter how demented he is!"
"I will get you, you spoiled rat!" Ganondorf said. "You will rue the day you decided to go against us!" He transported away.
"Heartless desert worm!" Pikachu shouted, spitting where the king once stood. He sighed; then turned to the princesses. "I must go; I have things to do."
"Surely you don't—" Peach started to say, but Pikachu held a paw up.
"I don't trust him," he said. "I'm sure that if I don't participate, he'll use that to his advantage. To you two, swordsman and kin," Pikachu now turned to Marth and Pichu. "I ask too much of you, but allow me to hope that you will aid me."
"Of course we will!" Pichu said. "We'll help take the V.A. down! What do you need?"
"Take this," Pikachu said, handing a notebook to Pichu. "This has the plan to free the clone and the princesses. It's written in a special code in our tongue, so only I can understand it, but with your ability to translate and the knowledge of four people and you in this room, I'm sure you can decode it."
Pichu nodded, and Pikachu left.
"Well, let's do it!" Pichu cried.
Luigi: Yeah! Do it! Do it!
Marth: Did you take your medicine?
Luigi: Yes…uh…maybe… (Laughs strangely and bounces off the walls)
Marth: He's drugged…anyway—
Luigi: (Singing) I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I—(Is shot in the leg with a tranquilizer, and passes out)
Marth: (Holding gun) He'll be out for a bit…anyway, review! Reviews get ice cream cake!
