Should've said this in the previous chapter… If you read Darkling, you'll probably remember Big Boy from the New York arc. Yeah, it's the same person, but since he's a minor character, you probably won't notice much about him.

Chapter 29: Get This Item Before You Pass! The Friendship of the Okama Fights For You!

Captain Falcon and Ness stare at the clown and wonder what to do. "Well, are you guys going to make me laugh or not?" asks the clown.

"What can we do?" asks Ness.

"I think there is only one way left," says CF. "Though it may make us look out of character, but there's no other way."

"What is it?"

CF whispers into Ness's ear.

"Sounds silly, but I hope it works…"

CF goes to his car trunk and gets out some clothing, and hands it to Ness. "What are you guys doing?" asks the clown.

After a short while, the two of them are dressed up as clowns themselves! "And now for our super stupid silly show!" says CF. He takes out a slapstick and whacks Ness's head over and over.

"You meanie!" cries Ness. "Eat this!" He takes out an egg and hurls it at CF, smacking him in the face.

"You meanie!" CF grabs Ness and chokes him.

"WAAAAAAA! I'm calling my lawyer!" cries Ness. He kicks CF in the body and falls to the floor, and then he runs behind him and sticks his finger up CF's butt.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" shrieks CF, and then he kicks Ness in the crotch and sends him flying into the sky.

After Ness lands from the flight, he says to CF, "I have found the perfect man! I wanna marry you!"

"So do I!" says CF. They both approach each other in a lovey-dovey romantic style and hugs each other tightly.

"Please don't leave me…" says Ness in a sickening cute voice.

"I will never leave you!" replies CF, and then he takes out a pie and splats it on Ness's head.

"WAAAAA! Meanie!" cries Ness, and the two start beating up each other.

The clown at first still looks grump, but as he sees them doing all sorts of silly stuff, he begins to laugh. "Heh! Can't say I haven't seen such hilarious thing since my younger days!" he says.

"Ha! You laughed!" shout the two. Then they hop back onto their respective cars and zoom off at high speed.

"Phew… Job's done for today," says the clown.

-

"I've wasted enough time messing around!" says CF. "I must catch up with the others!" He steps on the pedal and zooms off very fast.

"I must catch up with the others!" thought Ness. "Oh yeah, the boost fire!" He activates the boost fire and the bicycle zooms off at a speed even faster than the Blue Falcon! "WHOA!"

"What! How can I let him beat me!" gasps CF, and he drives even faster than before. After Ness's boost fire effect ended, CF is able to surpass him. "Ha!"

"Oh darn… At least I should try and catch up with the other racers!"

-

Pokey is driving along and wonders, "What's taking Ness so long? Can he still be stuck with that clown?" Suddenly, CF zooms pass him. "Whoa! That was shocking! I must get serious!" And then he sees Ness approaching. "He's catching up!"

"Great! I found him at last!" says Ness, and then he uses boost fire again to get pass him. "See ya!"

"Curses! Take this!" Pokey fires a couple of missiles at Ness, but he avoids them all.

"You should stop using dangerous stuffs!"

-

Meanwhile, Zoda is in first place, and Lassie in second. Soon, Zoda comes to a large gate with a guy and a table next to it. "What obstacle do we have here now?" asks Zoda.

"In order to pass through this gate, you need to find and bring me the item you're told to," says the man. "Please reach your hand into this box on the table."

Zoda puts his hand in and got out a piece of paper that writes, "Plush rabbit."

"What? I have to find a plush rabbit?" asks Zoda.

"Of course," says the man. "This course is especially designed to contain all those things. Surely you can find it if you search for it. You have unlimited amount of time, so don't rush."

"Why shouldn't I rush? This is a race!"

"True, but you shouldn't get the wrong item. Get it wrong and you're instantly eliminated."

"Fine! I'll be back!" Then Zoda drives off in a random direction.

Soon, Lassie shows up and the man gives her the explanation, and then she picks from the box. "I have to bring you a closet? You gotta be kidding me!" she says.

"That's what you picked," says the man. "You must go get it."

"Fine…" And she drives off.

CF soon zooms into the scene and says, "What's this?" And the man explains to him, so CF picks from the box and finds out he has to bring a chicken. "This shouldn't be too hard, if only I know where to find it…" Nevertheless, he drives off to look for a chicken.

Barney came next and is told to find a baby diaper. Ness comes up next and he has to bring a friend. "I have to bring a friend of mines?" he asks.

"Yeah," replies the man.

"Then I'll wait." Ness sits down and begins to wait.

"Whom are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for my friend to return."

Pokey shows up next and reaches into the box, and he needs to bring a frog, so he quickly drives off.

-

"What kind of an obstacle is that?" asks Link.

"Just like all other obstacles," says Carlos.

"Seriously… This doesn't fit to be a race obstacle."

"Just watch, okay?"

-

CF spots a chicken pecking along the road, so he got off his car and slowly crept towards the chicken. "My trump card is there!" he says. When near enough, he pounces at the chicken, but it quickly jumped off. "Darn! Come back here!" And he runs after the chicken.

-

Pokey is creeping along a pond, looking for a frog. He sees a frog on a lily pad, and he gets near to the water and jumps at it!

SPLASH!

Unfortunately, he splashed into the water and failed to catch the frog. "Argh! It's too hard!" he says, and then he spots a toad on the ground. "I think I'll just get the toad. They're no different from frogs."

-

The man is still waiting at the gate, with Ness sitting next to him. After a while, Barney shows up with a smelly and dirty diaper in his hand. "I found it!"

"Good! You can pass!" says the man, and the gate opens and Barney passes through it.

Soon, both Zoda and CF show up at the same time, each holding their respective items in their hands. "I found a plush rabbit at last!" says Zoda. "I had to beat up a little girl to get it."

"And I found the chicken too!" says CF. "I had to beat the crap out of it before finally able to get it."

"Good! You two may pass!" says the man.

"Wait, Falcon!" Ness shouts at CF.

"What? Don't waste my time, would you?" he says.

"I am told to get a friend, and I decided that you will be my friend, Falcon!"

"What? You want me to pose as your friend?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Ness! How nice of you to see me as your friend even though we're supposed to be opponents in the race!"

Ness asks the man, "Can I pass now?"

"Well, your friend found a chicken, so you both can go," replies the man.

"Yes!"

"See ya later!" says CF, and then he zooms off without Ness.

"Hey! I thought we're friends!" Ness yells at him.

Suddenly, a closet is shot in from the distance and lands in front of the man. Lassie shows up and says, "I found the closet! Now let me pass!"

"Sure you can," says the man.

Pokey came up next and presents a toad to the man. "I found a frog!"

The man examines the frog, and says, "This isn't a frog; it's a toad!"

"So? They're the same thing anyway."

"Wrong! Toads and frogs are different animals! You got the wrong item, so I declare you… DISQUALIFIED!"

"WHAT! You gotta be kidding me!" gasps Pokey.

"It is the sad truth, Pokey," says Repeata, who is flying above him. "If you get the wrong item, then you are disqualified."

"But… but…"

"Sorry, rules are rules. If you get it wrong, then you are disqualified from the race. You are out," says the man.

Pokey bangs his head against the steering wheel and screams, "NOOOOO! HOW CAN THIS BE! ARGH!"

"And so, Pokey has brought the wrong item and is eliminated from the race!" announces Repeata.

-

Back with the others…

Zoda and CF are banging against each other violently, fighting to get first place. "I won't let you get in my way!" says Zoda.

"Nobody gets in my way!" says CF.

They continue to fight as they drive. Suddenly, a group of people pops out in front of them and they quickly step on the brake.

SCREEEEE!

"Wha! What's the big idea standing in the middle of the road?" asks CF.

Standing in front of them are several young women. "Don't tell me you gals are interferers!" says Zoda. "No girl is going to stop me!"

"We have orders from Lassie to stop you," says one of the girls. "We will halt you here and allow our madam to get first place."

CF sees Barney lying on the floor and beaten up, with Lego pieces all over. "I can see that you girls are pretty tough to beat the crap out of that freak."

"You better not stop me, or else I'll kill you all!" says Zoda.

"You'll have to get through us first," says the girl.

"We'll just ram through you all!" says Zoda.

"Go on and try. We are all well trained martial artists. Busting up vehicles using bare hands is nothing to us."

Suddenly, Ness shoots forward REALLY fast on his bicycle. It is because he used the second boost fire to get through. He moved so fast that the girls have no time to stop him. "Oh no! We let one pass!" says a girl. "Madam won't be happy!"

"But at least we must stop these two from passing!" says another.

Then Lassie shows up in her car and says, "I see that you two are having fun with my subordinates."

"So you are the one behind this, eh?" asks CF.

"Sorry, but I'm going to be the winner no matter what. Do you think you can handle a large number of beautiful women? They will prove to you that women are superior to men!"

"Why you!" growls Zoda angrily.

"Gotta go!" And Lassie zooms off ahead.

"Nobody's stopping us!" yells Zoda. He quickly steps on the pedal to zoom off, but before he has the chance, one of the girls delivers a strong kick to the side of the Death Anchor and sent it spinning. "Ya!"

"They're strong!" gasps CF. "But surely they can't match for my speed!" Suddenly, one of the girls grabs CF by his collar and yanks him out of the driver's seat. "Hey! What's the big idea!" The girl then punches him in the abdomen hard and slams him onto the floor. "Ow!" CF gets up and says, "That's it! I'm going to fight back and then catch up with that wench and Ness!"

CF and the girl charge at each other to attack, but suddenly, a spinning figure pops out of nowhere and hits the girl, knocking her away.

BANG!

"Ya!"

"Uh? Who's that?" asks CF.

The spinning figure lands and reveals himself to be none other than… Bon Clay! "I am here to help you, Little Falcon!" says Bon Clay.

"I'd say, you sure show up at the right time too."

"Leave this to me and my men!" says Bon Clay. "You go and catch up with that woman."

Zoda punches out one of the girls attacking him and says, "If you're going to do it, then I'm out of here! I have a race to catch!" He gets into his car and drives off, and so is the same with Captain Falcon.

"Have a great time racing!" Bon Clay calls out to him. Another girl charges at him to hit him, but he avoids it and kicks her in the face.

Soon, a great battle between Bon Clay's group and the scantily clad girls ensue.

The other racers race pass here and stare at the battle going on, but they did not give it a second thought because they have a race to participate in.

-

"Woohoo! I'm first!" says Ness. "I have nothing to fear of!"

"Hey brat! Out of my way!" yells Lassie as she zooms pass him.

"Darn! I need to get pass…"

But suddenly, Zoda and CF zoom pass him at the same time.

"Doh! Now I'm starting to get left behind!" says Ness. "But Fox warned me not to use the boost fire the third time… It sounds risky, but I want to get first place and prove to Pokey I'm better than him!" Without thinking twice, he uses the boost fire the third time.

Like usual, his bicycle shoots forward at tremendous speed, going pass both Zoda and CF and almost catching up with Lassie. But then something starts to go wrong; his bike begins to emit smoke.

"Uh oh… I'm afraid Fox is right…" says Ness. He begins to loss control of his bike, and soon enough, his bike automatically broke down into pieces. "…" And CF and Zoda zooms pass him.

"What has happened? Ness's vehicle is out of order!" says Repeata.

-

"Ness! I told him not to use it the third time!" says Fox. "Now he has no more chance in the race!"

"That's what he gets for being so determined to get first place," says Falco.

"Says the person who was so determined to get first place no matter what…" mumbles Samus.

-

The battle between Bon Clay and the girls is still going on. Most of his men are beaten up, but the number of girls left isn't much either. 3 girls charge at him from all sides, and Bon Clay begins spinning in place. "Memories of the Past Summer!" He performs a spinning kick that knocks the girls away.

Another girl jumps into the air and performs a flying kick towards him. Bon Clay quickly reaches out his hand and grabs her by the leg, and then spins her around and around before hurling her away.

"Anymore?" asks Bon Clay. Another girl charges at him to attack; she throws several quick punches and kicks, and Bon Clay counters with the same moves. After much hit trading, Bon Clay hops back a couple of yards and then lunges forward very fast, kicking the girl hard in the chest and knocking her away.

Finally, he is down to only one girl left. "How dare you!" says the girl angrily. She rushes forward and performs a roundhouse kick, but Bon Clay quickly ducks under it, and then counters it with a powerful kick into her chin. He kicks her high up into the sky and then she falls back down and slams onto the floor.

Bon Clay looks around for any more opponents, but sees no more. "Phew… I have won the battle," he says. Then he goes to check on his injured subordinates and make sure they are all right. "I hope Little Falcon is all right."

-

CF and Zoda have finally caught up with Lassie. "All of you get out of my way!" shouts CF.

"I'm going to get first place!" yells Zoda.

"You two dirty men get out of my way!" shouts Lassie. "I will not let any of you beat me!"

"The finish line is not too far ahead now!" says Repeata. "They are getting nearer and nearer by the minute! Who will pass the line first? Will a fight ensue between them?"

CF drives in between Zoda and Lassie and rams them in the side. "Take that!"

"You're the one who should be taking that!" shouts Zoda.

"You take that back yourself!" says Lassie. The two racers sandwich him in between and try to crush him.

"Argh! I'm getting pissed off!" says CF. "Time to show my true power!" The Blue Falcon suddenly performs a spinning attack and immediately knocks both racers off the course!

"YAAAAAAAAA!" they both scream as they fly through the air. Both the cars hit the side of the road and lands upside-down, not able to move at all.

And so, CF passes the finish line, followed by a couple of other unnamed racers. "YES!" exclaims CF.

"Congratulations! Captain Falcon has won the race of Toy Land!" says Repeata.

Zoda crawls out from his car and curses loudly, "Argh! You made me lose! You'll pay for this, Falcon!"

"I can't believe I got beaten by a man!" shouts Lassie angrily. "I am so mad!"

Because several other racers made it pass the line before them, they both have lost the race.

-

So this race has come to an end. It was a pity that Ness lost, and so is the same with Barney and Pokey.

And to celebrate CF's winning first place in his first finals, they went to another fabulous restaurant to eat. "Cheers for me!" says CF, raising his cup.

"Congratulations on winning first place, Falcon!" says Samus. "But if I were racing you, then you'll never beat me!"

"I thought I beaten you before. Surely you cannot beat me!"

"But this time I'm sure I can beat you!"

"I'm going to beat you all so I can get first place!" says Kirby. "And then… food!"

"Yes! Kirby will win!" cheers Yoshi.

"No! I will win!" says Bowser.

"Wrong, the person winning will be me!" says Ganondorf.

"Hate to burst your bubble, but it is I!" says Roy. And the usual argument breaks out among them… again.

"Um, can we not argue about this?" asks Pit.

"Don't bother stopping them, Pit," YL tells him. "They're always like this. They'll stop sooner or later."

"But… Fighting among friends isn't good."

"That's just the way they are." YL then turns to Ness. "How ya feeling?"

"Well, can't say I'm happy, but I admit I wasn't obeying Fox," says Ness. "I really should've listened to him…"

"This teaches you a lesson," says Fox. "I clearly said using the boost fire a third time would make you lose."

"I'm sorry…"

Bon Clay shows up with his men at their table. "Congratulation on winning first place, Little Falcon!" he says.

"Don't call me that name!" says CF.

"Oh sorry, then I'll call you Falcon-Chan!"

"That's even less nice…"

"I was a great help back then, right? Without me, you'll probably never win!"

"I admit: You did me quite a favor. I give my thanks to you."

"Oh, you're such a nice man! You're my favorite type!" Bon Clay goes near him so he can give him a hug, but CF pushes him away.

"Don't even think of it!"

-

Pokey is in his hotel room; grieving about the fact he lost. "No… This cannot be possible! It's all because of Ness! He made me lost! He's responsible for everything! Though he also lost his race, I cannot forgive him! I must make him feel sorry!"

Meanwhile, a mysterious person is outside his window watching him. "Hehehe… Perhaps I will give him hope."

TO BE CONTINUED…

Well, this race has ended. What do you think of it?

I still haven't reveal Lassie's DF power yet. This probably means she'll show up again? Who knows?

And I must make an announcement. If we focus on every single race, then this story might take forever. Therefore, I will be rushing through things a bit faster. We will not be focusing totally on the races. Don't worry; I assure you the story will still grab your attention. I am really excitedabout the parts after the final race, so I really want to get there fast. I hope you understand.
