Chapter Two
Her umbrella lay strewn across the battle field, it was the only thing left, and Mario just had to have it. He looked at his clock next to his bed, 3:00 AM. He slowly got out of bed. Didn't bother to put shoes on, those would only make more noise, and slipped out the door into the night. He had no idea how to get around in the place, he didn't even know where he was, but still he pressed forward, he needed that umbrella.
Creeping around in the dark, Mario looked inside every door he came to, but none of them seemed to Yoshi's place. After about 30 minutes of all that stealthy slinking, Mario came upon a giant door, no doubt oak. He guessed he was in the grand foyer or lobby or something, so he opened the door, what he saw shocked him. It was like master control room. I guess all the battles and TV's are controlled from here, Mario thought. At the back of the control room there was a huge red plush chair, just like the one The Face sat in. I should check it out, Mario thought. He than proceeded to walk up to the chair, and cautiously turn the chair around. In the chair was a little silver, metal sphere, and on the top was a red button. Mario pushed it, and a giant person came shooting up and out of the sphere. It was The Face, Mario jumped back in fear, afraid that The Face was going to kill him, but as he jumped back, his hand went out, and made a clean cut right through The Face. The Face's neck was split in two for a second, but it instantly came back together again. The Face is a hologram! Mario couldn't wait to tell the others. He rushed out of the room, and into the lobby. Then a thought cane to him, how would he be able to convince the others. He went over to wall and broke off a piece from a candle stick, then as he walked back to his room, every other tile on the floor he stepped on, he left a little knick with the candle holder.
"Everyone, wake up, wake up," Mario screamed running through the castle, after a while some people joined him and eventually they had every one. "You guys have to see this come on, it's really amazing." Mario than followed the knicks in the floor to the big oak door he had just been to moments ago. He pushed open the door, and led everyone to the giant plush chair, turned on the hologram, and watched every ones face go from anger, for being waken up so early, to astonishment."The Face, is a hologram," Pikachu said.
"Than that means The Face isn't real."
"But who else could control it with out being inside the building?"
"Unless, The Face, or rather its controller, is one of us. Some one has been controlling The Face while he, or she, has also been taking part in the battles."
"But, who is it?" That struck panic in all the Smash brothers, one of them was controlling The Face. It was hard to believe considering all of these people are all their friends, but than Ness said something that made everyone think.
"Hey, where is Marth?" Every one turned on Roy.
"What? My brother would never do something like that, he's a good person!"
"But, he killed Peach!"
"Yeah!"
Every one marched straight out of the control room, and right up to Marth's door.
"Marth, open up, please. It's me Roy, the other Smashers, they just wanna talk to you." But nothing was heard. No sound of anybody getting up, or making a move for the door, nothing. Roy reached out for the handle, only to find that the door had been unlocked the whole time. He stepped in, and looked all around the room, but no one was here. Marth was gone.
Then the TV screen back on, and The Face was there, or rather the hologram.
"Now, what are you doing out of bed at this hour!" He said.
