Captain Falcon and Carlos walk through a wide street filled with people and many shops. "I never thought Sedan Headquarters would be this attractive!" says CF.
"The headquarters is more like a big city," explains Carlos.
The scene zoom s up high into the sky so you can get a good bird's eye view of the place. Sedan HQ is a circular fortified city surrounded by mountains on all sides.
And now we zoom back into the HQ again to meet up with the others.
"Where are the others?" asks CF.
"Oh, I'll take you to them," says Carlos. He takes CF into a fast food restaurant, where all the other Smashers are.
"Oh, you're awake!" says Samus. "You sure slept for quite a while."
"You gotta taste the fries here!" Yoshi tells him. "They're plain awesome!"
"And the hamburgers too!" adds Kirby.
CF orders a meal for himself and then finds a seat. "So, how did you guys get here?"
"After we entered the passage," explains Mewtwo, "we soon came directly into Sedan Headquarter. That passage was the entrance here after all."
"How about the racers? Did you experience some weird phenomenon where you are in the darkness and…"
"Oh! We got passed that test with ease!" says Falco.
"Right-a! Nothing can break-a our bond of friendship!" says Mario. "That-a eez how we got in!"
"Well, it's good to see everyone," says CF. "But where are the Wario Bros.?"
"They went their own way," says Luigi.
"Oh Smashers! I knew we would meet again!" says a familiar gay voice. They all turn to the entrance of the fast food restaurant and see Bon Clay and his men! "I'm so glad you all made it!"
"You came too?" asks Pichu.
"Oh yes! I followed the call of friendship and made it here safely!"
"Why are you anyway?" Marth asks him.
"Because you are my friend and friends must be together! I have come to spread my charm so you have the energy to race!"
"Right…"
"Let's go for a walk around this city after we're done eating," suggest Peach.
"You're most welcome to," Carlos tells her. "We sell many products that are had to find in other places and there is also a big garage that will do all kinds of upgrades for your vehicles. Be sure to check it out!"

Falco is at a weapon shop, browsing through the guns. "You sure got a big selection here," he says to the seller.
"We imported from all over the world," explains the seller. "As you know, many racers will attack their opponents in order to reach the finish line, so it is necessary to sell weapons of various kinds. However, we do not encourage you to kill people, but rather, just disable them."
"Which kind of gun would you recommend?"
"I recommend the tracking bullet," says the seller as he takes out a box of bullets. "Surely you heard of tracking missiles, but these are bullets that lock onto opponents."
"Looks very good! What else do you have?" Then Falco sees a large gun hanging on the wall. "Cool! What's this?"
"That is the Drill Rifle. It fires a bullet that can cut a clean hole through anything," explains the seller.
Falco decides the play with the rifle around, as it contains no bullet. Actually, the rifle DOES have bullet, but he doesn't know it. He points it against the ceiling and fires, and the bullet comes out and hits the light on the ceiling.
BANG!
And the store turns dark…
"Sorry…" apologizes Falco.
-
Yoshi and Kirby are eating at a roadside food stand. "The foods here sure are good!" says Yoshi with a mouthful.
"Right!" agrees Kirby.
"You two sure eat a lot!" says the cook. "Eat more! You get a special discount if you eat more than 6 fillings!"
"Thanks!" they both say.
"So are you two in the race?"
"I am!" says Kirby.
"I did not pass the test, so I didn't get to join the race," says Yoshi sadly. "But it's all right, because I share the same wish as my friend here and he will win the race for me!"
"What are your wishes?"
"A whole mountain of food!" says Kirby.
"Haha! You sure are a greedy one! I hope you best of luck!"
-
CF has retrieved his car and is at the garage Carlos talked about. Many people left their cars there for checkup and necessary upgrades. "Is there anything wrong with it?" CF asks the fixer.
"Your car is in good condition," says the fixer. "Besides a few scratches on the outer covering, everything is fine with it."
"That's because I take good care of my car!"
"Well! If it isn't my eternal rival Captain Falcon!" says a voice behind CF.
CF turns around to see Samurai Goroh. "Goroh! It's you!"
"So it's me!" replies Goroh. "I knew you would come here!"
"What do you want with me?"
"Just a proper greeting, can't I? Let me warn you before hand, I'm gonna bust you up real good if we are in the same race!"
"Say all you want, but nobody is gonna stop me from winning the race!"
"You better be careful! I have spent hard time training for this particular race! I will show you what I have learned!" Goroh takes out his katana blade and swipes at a random steel pole. At first, the steel pole doesn't seem to have anything happened it, but then it suddenly breaks in half! "See! I can cut steel in half!"
"So?"
"So I'm gonna cut your car into pieces!"
"Try and do it!"
"You better pray when that time comes! Hahahaha!" With this, Samurai Goroh walks off, laughing proudly to himself.
-
Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser are taking a walk through a crowded market. They stop to take a look at a jewelry shop. "Wow! These jewelries are so beautiful!" says Peach.
"I'll buy for you if you want to!" Bowser tells her.
"No, let-a me pay for eet!" says Mario.
"You don't have the money! I'll pay for you!"
"No, I have lotsa money!"
"Let me pay!"
"Let-a me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Thank you, and please come again!" says the seller as he gives Peach what she bought.
"Thank you, Luigi! You're so kind to pay it for me!" Peach says to Luigi, the one who paid the money.
"It was nothing. I don't know what to do with my money at the moment anyway," he says.
Mario and Bowser stare at Luigi weirdly. "He beat us to it…" says Bowser sadly.
Next, they stop at a flower shop because Peach is attracted to those beautiful flowers. "Wow! These are much more beautiful than the ones back home!" she exclaims. "Which one should I pick? I want to buy the kind that smells good so our hotel room smells good also!"
There is a lady in pink and red dress standing next to her, and she replies to Peach, "I recommend these kind!" She shows her the ones she is talking about.
Peach sniffs the flower and says, "They sure smell good!"
Meanwhile, the two plumbers and the turtle are at a nearby store, because they have no interests in flowers. "So where do we eat at next?" asks Luigi.
"You hungry again?" Bowser asks him.
"Hey, a single burger isn't enough to keep you filled."
"Then you should've ordered more! I ordered 4 burgers, 2 large bag of fries, 5 pies, 3 pieces of fried chicken, a sundae, and a large soft drink, all at super size!" As he is saying this, he did not look in the front and hits his head against something hard. "Ouch! Watch where you're going!" He looks up to see that he hit his face against the flat part of a large sword.
"Oh, sorry," replies the person wielding the sword.
"It's dangerous to carry a large sword against your shoulder and walk around with it! Someone might get hurt or they'll think you're a psychotic killer of… of…" Bowser takes a closer look at the man. "Blond, spiky hair… Big sword… Blond, spiky hair… Big sword… You… You're…"
"Good to see you again, Cloud!" says Luigi.
"Hi," says Cloud simply.
"CLOUD STRIFE! I knew I saw you before!" says Bowser loudly.
"Do you know him?" asks Mario.
"We met him in Pokemon Coliseum during the whole Darkling Incident," explains Luigi. "He was tricked by the Darkling to work for them, but he turned to our side after he learned the truth."
Bowser gets into fighting stance and says to Cloud, "Now that we have meet again, let us fight as promised! C'mon! Bring it on!"
"I have no interest in fighting you," replies Cloud.
"Don't tell me you're afraid! I knew you are afraid of me! You're shocked at my power back at that time, right? Ha! I knew it!"
Cloud lets out a sigh and says, "Well… If you really want to fight… Then…"
"Please don't fight here, Cloud!" says a girl's voice.
"Tifa!"
A girl with long brown hair and wearing white sleeveless shirt approaches Cloud and says, "I told you not to get into fights with other people!"
"He started it."
"Right! We promised a long time ago!" says Bowser
"Please don't use violence here…" says Luigi.
"You stay out of this!"
"Are you friends of Cloud?" asks Tifa
"Well, we met a long time ago," replies Luigi.
"Theez eez my first time meeting him," says Mario.
"Nice to meet you! I'm a good friend of Cloud, Tifa Lockhart."
"Hello!"
Just then, Peach and the lady that was suggesting flowers for her walk to them. "Hey everyone!" says Peach.
"Are you done, Peachy?" asks Mario.
"I'm done! This lady with me sure knows a lot about flowers! I bought some very lovely ones!"
"Where have you been, Aerith?" Cloud asks the lady.
"Just out shopping," replies the lady known as Aerith. "And are these your friends?"
"They are my friends too!" Peach tells her.
"It's nice to meet you all!"
"Nice to meet-a you too!" says Mario.
"Heh heh, you have a strange accent!"
"He couldn't get rid of his Italian accent," explains Luigi.
"So Cloud, are you racing or what?" Bowser asks Cloud.
"I'm not interested in it, but my friend over there is," says Cloud, pointing to a guy who is window-shopping a gadget store. "I'm only here to accompany him."
"I was hoping you would… So I can show you who's better!"
The window-shopping guy walks over to them and says, "Cloud, are you keeping these two ladies companied? And what's this? You attracted a third girl?"
"Stop joking, would you?" Cloud tells him.
"Ha! You can't help the fact that many girls are attracted to you!"
"No! Peach is mines!" says Bowser. "She would never like spiky hair! So is the same with this fatso."
"Hey!" cries Mario.
"Cid, this guy here says he wants to race you," says Cloud, gesturing to Bowser.
"When did I say that?"
"So you wanna challenge me, eh?" says the man named Cid. "By any chance, can you be that oversized turtle Cloud talked about?"
"Why, that's me! The great Bowser Koopa!"
"He said that you challenged him to a battle, and now you want to challenge me in the race! You sure are a competing type, eh? You don't really look like the kind that can drive a car. You seem unlikely to fit in the driver's seat either!"
Hearing this makes Bowser mad. "What do you mean I don't know how to drive! I'm gonna smash your car into pieces when I race against you!"
"Ha! Like that would happen! I'm afraid you'll crash into a wall before you can steer your wheel!"
"I'll show you what I'm capable of! Just you wait!" And Bowser turns around and storms off, but then he turns to Cloud again. "And that doesn't mean I'm forgetting the deal with you, spiky hair!" And he continues storming away.
"What's with him?" asks Tifa.
"That'a-a just like him," says Mario.
-
Marth is taking a stroll alone through another part of the market. "There's quite a crowd here," he says. "I wonder where the others are." As he walks pass a clothing boutique, he sees a girl shopping there. He immediately stops to take a good look at her.
Why does he want to look at her? First, she is very beautiful. She has long, straight and bright blue hair. She also has a very beautiful and slim body. What's more is the way she is dressed up! You wouldn't believe it, but she's wearing nothing but a blue 2-piece bikini out in the public! You would never find a girl wearing like that out in the public, but she is!
"Wow… What a figure!" thought Marth.
The girl brings a jacket to the counter and then opens her wallet to get the money. "Oh dear," she says. "I'm afraid I don't have enough. Guess I can't buy it…"
Marth immediately goes up to her and says, "Let me help you!"
"Thanks! But why?"
Without saying anything, Marth pays the clerk for the jacket that she bought. "It's yours! I paid for you!" says Marth.
"It's so kind of you!" says the girl. "I was worried that I don't have enough money, and it's rather cold out there, so I really need a jacket."
Marth is able to get a good look at her figure. She has a really cute and beautiful face, with a beautiful blue eye color. Her body is also very beautiful and perfect that one would say she is a super model. "Um… May I ask why… you're wearing… a bikini out in… the public?"
"Oh, it's my favorite clothing style! It's absolutely comfortable! You feel like you are free from everything! But it can be a bit cold sometimes, so that's why I bought this jacket to keep warm."
"Um, yeah… So what's your name? By the way, my name is Marth."
"My name is Cassmon. It's very nice to meet a gentleman like you! You're the type I like!"
Marth blushed a bit at hearing this. "Heh heh… So, would you like me to treat you to something?"
"I like too! Thanks a lot!"
So Marth and Cassmon walk together through the market, and he bought her some treats to eat. After a while of walking and talking together, Cassmon looks at her watch and says, "Look at the time! I have an appointment right now. I have to go! It was nice knowing you! I hope we meet again!"
"Good bye! And don't forget to wear more clothes. You can get sick," Marth tells her. Cassmon says good-bye to him and walks off, swaying her hip left to right as she walks. Marth eyes every movement she makes until she is too far to be seen. "What a lovely girl… She's just like an angel… Can this be love at first sight?"
-
Bon Clay and his men are walking around happily, looking for fun things to do. "What a great place this is!" he says. "I feel like doing a ballet!" He begins spinning on one foot while his men cheer him on.
"Mr. 2 Bon Clay is the best!" they say.
"Ah, Mr. 2… Long time no see!" says a voice.
Bon Clay turns to the source of voice and is shocked at that person. "No… You can't be… Mr… 3!"
"So it is I!" says Mr. 3. "We meet again!"
"Hello, Mr. 2," says Ms. Goldenweek, who is next to Mr. 3.
"Where have you been after Baroque Work is disbanded?" Bon Clay asks them.
"Going back to my former lifestyle, an artist," replies Mr. 3. "Things aren't really going good, so I entered this race along with Ms. Goldenweek."
"Our dream is to become the world's greatest artists," replies Ms. Goldenweek.
"Hmph! At least you're not planning anything bad!" says Bon Clay. "I never really liked Crocodile in the first place."
"I hate him too!" says Mr. 3. "It's good that he's out of my way! By the way, are you in the race?"
"Oh no, I'm not, but I'm here to cheer for my friends, the Smashers!"
"The Smashers? Them? Hmph! Why would you cheer for enemies?"
"They are good people! If it weren't for them, then I would've been working for Crocodile forever!"
"Well, I'll give them credit for that."
-
Meanwhile, at the council of the priests…
All the priests are gathered at a table, and the director of this year's F-30 Grand Prix, Carolla, a short and wrinkled old man, is making a lecture. "The year has come for the Grand Prix to begin. All is going along as Carma intended. But this year can be quite dangerous. As you know what happened to the race 300 years ago. That incident caused a great havoc. This year, 'HE' is going to return again."
"We must do something about it, Carolla," says Carlos. "If we just let the race go on like this, things will go bad! You know very well that 'he' isn't interested in the race, but rather meeting Carma himself directly!"
"But we cannot abandon this race; it would be sacrilege. Nevertheless, we must continue this race and make sure not a word has been spread to everyone. We must not let them know that 'he' has returned." Carolla looks at the clock, and then says, "It's about time, make the announcement for the opening ceremony!"
-
An announcement is made through the various speakers of the HQ. "Attention every racer! We are now about to begin the opening ceremony! Please make your way to the stadium in the center of the city. Audiences please also go to the stadium to witness this grand event."
-
At the stadium, the seats are all filled with audiences, all cheering loudly. "Wow! What a sight!" says Zelda. "I wonder how many people are there?"
"It's so noisy…" says Pichu, closing his ears.
"Just imagine if I was in the stadium!" says Bon Clay. "I would be one happy okama! I have always dreamed of going on stage in the public!"
"And I always dreamed of going on stage public too!" says Parry, who is perched on Mewtwo's head. "I want to let them know I'm the world's talking parrot!"
"You're not the only talking animal in the world," Mewtwo tells him.
Carolla takes his seat at the main throne, and he makes his announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to this years F-30 Grand Prix! You have gone through all the trouble to reach here to see the race! This year we have more than 300 participants! Many of them are expert racers that have fought their way to the top, and let us now welcome them!"
There is a loud applause as the large door opens, and all the racers of this year step out in a large group. "Look! I see our friends!" says G&W. "Over there!"
Ness is walking among the large crowd while jumping up and down, saying, "Can everyone see me? I'm famous! Yahoo!"
"Don't act like a little kid, would you?" Samus tells him.
"But this is a rare opportunity! I wouldn't want to waste it!"
Wario is walking with great pride and saying to himself, "A great person like me deserves this treatment! Wahahahahaha!"
Barney is skipping along happily. "I'm so happy! Everyone is looking at me! Lalalalala!"
All the racers gather at the center of the stadium and stand still there as Carolla continues his announcement. "These are noble racers that have made their way here. They will all race for the great god Carma. Many will race, but only 3 shall prevail. Let us give them a big hand of applause!" At this, the audiences went wild again.
"You're my man!" shouts Bon Clay happily and loudly. "You can do it!"
"Kirby! You must win!" shouts Yoshi.
"I'm rooting for you, my love!" Lilina shouts to Roy. "I love you!"
-
"Wow! What a great experience!" says Link. "I have never stood in front of such great audience before!"
"It makes me think I'm famous!" says Ganondorf.
"Everyone! Hear me roar! RAAAR!" roars Bowser loudly.
"Everyone! Hear me sing!" says Barney happily.
"NESS!" yells a loud voice. "It is I, your greatest enemy! I shall see that lose badly!"
"That's Pokey…" thought Ness.
"Behold the great Wario that is I!" says Wario. "Everyone shall know the great might of me!"
"And me too!" says Waluigi.
CF raises his hand and shouts out, "I have confidence that I will win! Show me your moves!"
All the racers shout out words to the audiences about how good they are and how they will surely win the race.
"Wow! Everyone's so confident of themselves!" says Popo.
"It's so noisy…" says Pichu again.
"I wish I over there to sing song!" says Jigglypuff.
"NO!" the other Smashers shout at her.
Marth doesn't seem to be paying attention to any of these. He is deep in thought about Cassmon and how lovely she is. "Hey, Marth. What's with you?" Zelda asks him.
"Oh? Nothing!" he replies as he snaps back to the real world. He still can't help thinking about her lovely face and beautiful body. "Gee… She's so beautiful and sexy…"
"And let's officially begin the finals of the F-30 Grand Prix!" says Carolla loudly.
"YAY! YAHOO!" cheer the audiences and racers.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Wa la! The finals are officially starting! Let's all look forward to it! Yahoo! I'm getting excited! I hope that you make your reviews detailed and in-depth. I would like to here comments on various stuffs in this chapter and so forth! This lets me know that you have been reading it thoroughly.
And as you can see, Marth got a girlfriend here, and a sexy one at that. If only I was a good artist, then I would draw a picture of Cassmon and post it here. Too bad… You just have to use your imagination on how she looks like: Long blue hair, beautiful and sexy body, and wearing a blue bikini. So will Marth claim her? I tell you: Things do not look as simple as you think.
And there are a few returning characters from Darkling too. Surely you recognize them, right?
And one last thing: Just who is 'he'? You'll have to find out in the future!
