Thank you for all those comforts you gave me! Now I know this site has lots of nice people! It's good to hear this! But as I said, the flame-happy people of GameFaqs gave me a new inspiration for a new story. I'm not ready to talk about that story just yet. Anyway, on with the actual story!

Chapter 32: Bad News Emergency Broadcast! The Greatest Mistake Ever Made!

Marth and Pit are still running from Kaku and Jabura. "Where is the key!" says Marth. "I cant' take it any longer!"

"I'm tired, Mr. Marth!" says Pit.

"You're an angel; do something!"

"But even I don't know what to do in this situation!"

Jabura then turns to Kaku and tries to attack him, but Kaku avoids it. "Hey! Why are you attacking me?" asks Kaku.

"You tried to attack me earlier, didn't you?" replies Jabura.

"Because you were getting in my way!"

"You are too!"

"If you want to fight, then I won't hesitate to do so!"

"That's just I'm thinking of, you herbivore!"

"If I could choose, I prefer meat."

Wario is holding a string with a pencil tied onto the end, and he is reading a book entitled How to Be a Dowser, written by Lyserg Diethel. "Let your pendulum swing in midair and think of the thing that you want to look for…" says Wario, reading the book. "If you imagined the object in your mind clearly enough, the pendulum will point towards the direction of the most likely thing you're looking for…"

Wario did as the book told him and lets his 'pendulum' swings around. "Ah… I believe it's pointing to that door!" Wario runs to that door and opens it, and tons of junks fall out and on top of him.

CRASH!

"Not!"

In another room, Pikachu is lying stunned on the floor, unable to move, while Califa is taking a bubble bath right in the room and in front of him (lucky guy!).

Califa blows some bubbles playfully and says to him, "I thought you wanted to take on me seriously. Did I hear wrong?"

"Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself for taking a bath in front of your enemy?" asks Pikachu. "If I had the strength to move, I would've eliminated you already!"

"But you're just lying there and not doing anything. You should've agreed with me and join me in here."

"Don't think I'm weak just because I'm cute-looking! I will show you that I am capable of fighting!" Pikachu tries to move, but he feels very weak for some reason. "Does it have something to do with these bubbles?"

"I think it's about time I get up. Now if you'll excuse me…" Califa gets out from the bathtub and goes behind a drape and starts putting on her suit.

Meanwhile, Pikachu is struggling hard to get up, and finally he feels strength coming back to him. "I can move at last! This time you're finished!" He begins to charge up electricity.

"Oh, then I better hurry," says Califa while putting on her skirt.

"Too late! Thunder Shock!" Pikachu fires a beam of electricity forward, but Califa zipped off using Soru and appears behind him.

"What's the rush?" asks Califa, putting on the last bits of her clothe.

"Thunder!" Pikachu quickly fires a large bolt of electricity into the ceiling, and it reflects down on top of Califa.

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!

"Ha! I got you!" says Pikachu, but to his surprise, he sees a large bubble in place of Califa! "What?"

The bubble pops and Califa appears! "I've never thought I would see an indoor thunderbolt. This is cool!"

"What are you? How did you do that?"

"Shouldn't you have figured out my powers by now?"

"It's related to bubbles, right?"

"Even if you found out, it's not like you can do anything to me. That's right; I ate the Awa Awa Fruit. I am a human soap, for I can create foams from my body!"

Note: Awa is Japanese for Bubble.

"Is that even useful in combat?"

"I can wash away any dirt and even the powers of my opponents."

"So that explains why I was feeling weak just now! Those bubbles washed away my strength!"

"Now that you had your turn, it is my turn to demonstrate to you my powers! Soap Sheep!" Califa surrounds herself with lots of foam and forms them into a sheep.

"What is that supposed to be?"

"Sheep Cloud Relaxing Bubble!" She separates the foams around her and fires them all at Pikachu.

"Whoa!" Pikachu quickly runs around to avoid them, and then he fires another beam at Califa, who avoids it again.

"For something cute like you, you sure use dangerous attacks."

"I told you I'm not just for looks! Swift!" Pikachu then shoots out several star-shaped beams. Because they are moving so fast, Califa wasn't able to avoid them in time and got hit in a couple of places.

"Ow… But that wasn't much pain. It's nothing compared to what I am delivering to you. Rankyaku!" She kicks out a wind blade at Pikachu, and he barely dodged it.

"Pika! If I got hit by that directly, I'm dead mouse!"

Suddenly, Califa appears behind him and kicks him onto the floor.

BANG!

"You should be more aware of your surroundings," says Califa. She shoots out several bubbles at Pikachu, and because he is still trying to recover from the hit just now, he didn't avoid the bubbles and got hit by them, and is stunned.

"I can't move again! I feel like my powers have gone from me!"

"Now to clean you up. Golden Bubble!" Califa grabs Pikachu and rubs him all over her body. After a while, she drops him onto the floor, and Pikachu now looks shiny and rather distorted in form!

"What happened to me!" he cries. "I look so odd and can't stand properly!"

"I have encased you in wax bubble," explains Califa. "Now you're clean as anything else!"

"How dare you!"

-

Spandam, Samus, and Lucci are still walking through a hallway. "Ha! You should just stop thinking about getting rescued, Samus," says Spandam. "Those fools will never find us here! That explosion earlier must be a mistake I heard!"

Suddenly, they all hear a really loud shout that goes, "SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMUUUUUUSSSSS!"

"At last!" exclaims Samus.

"What the! They're here? This can't be!" gasps Spandam. "What do I do!"

"You go first, boss," Lucci tells him. "I'll handle him."

-

Captain Falcon is running forward very fast, and he spots a door. "This door doesn't look too tough. I can destroy it!" He shoulder bashes the door and rams it down, and he ends up in a large room with crates all over the place. "Hey you! The pigeon guy!"

"You're here at last," says Lucci. "I am waiting for you!"

-

Spandam is dragging Samus with him as fast as he can. "Dang! How can one of those Smashers get here already?" He reaches for his phone and tries to contact the CP9. "Hey CP9! Answer me! One of the Smashers got here! Are you replying?"

Meanwhile, Samus looks at him with a shocked face. "You… That's… that's…"

Spandam takes a close look at his phone again, and his mouth drops open in shock. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! I USED THE WRONG ONE!"

-

In a faraway place, inside an army headquarters of sorts…

"The Annihilation Call has been summoned!" says a soldier general. "The target is Alias Lobby! Prepare the battleships at once and get ready to annihilate Alias Lobby! We will get there in 30 minutes!"

-

"Damn! I pressed the Annihilation Call button by mistake!" curses Spandam. "I was so careless!"

"You called, boss?" says the voice of Califa through his phone.

"So this is the right phone! Man! What have I done? I have summoned the Annihilation Call!" And Samus listens to this with a huge shock on her face.

What Spandam didn't know is that he has set his phone to a mode where the voice is being broadcasted to all over the island, and so everyone on Alias Lobby heard him talking.

"That's the voice of the director!" say the soldiers. "And did he just summon the Annihilation Call?"

"You must turn it off now!" says Samus. "You're putting everyone's life in danger!"

"Turn it off? Let's put it like this," says Spandam. "I summoned the Annihilation Call in order to eliminate the Smashers in this island! So I did not make a mistake after all!"

"It won't be so simple! There is no heart in that attack! That attack will keep on destroying until the whole island disappears from the map! What do you think human life is that you can do such a cruel thing?"

"Don't you forget that the CP9 is a secret government organization who will do anything for the sake of justice! If we have to sacrifice 1000 people in order to save 100 people, then we won't hesitate to kill those 1000 people! Besides, what use are those dumb soldiers who can't stop villains from coming in here in the first place? They're better off dead!"

The soldiers on the island listen to this with mix of anger and fear in their minds.

"The Annihilation Call! It's going to destroy us all!" they cry. "We don't want to be sacrifice for this sort of thing!"

"Plus, I will be getting a promotion after this is complete!" says Spandam. "Why should I care for the lives of others? It is my life that is more important than anything else!"

"The phone is set on broadcast mode…" Samus reminds him.

"What! You mean everyone on the island heard this!" gasps Spandam. "Um... uh… It's-a me, Mario!"

"DON'T LIE!" shout the soldiers.

"Everyone! Please escape from this island at once!" Samus shouts into the phone. "This whole place will be destroyed very soon! You must evacuate!"

"Who do you think you are that you dare give orders to them!" says Spandam angrily, and he punches Samus hard in the face and knocks her to the floor. "You do not have the right to command anyone on this island, you devil!"

-

The soldiers on the island got wild and begin running for their lives. "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! THE ANNIHILATION CALL IS GOING TO KILL US ALL!"

"What's all this rush?" asks Bluto.

"Didn't you hear that several battleships are coming to destroy this island?" says Meta-Knight.

"But boss and the Smashers are still inside the Judicial Tower!"

"We must get back to the Halberd first! They should be able to handle everything themselves!"

-

Inside the tower…

"Looks like the Annihilation Call is on the way here," says Kaku.

"Jeez… What is that guy doing?" says Jabura.

"Looks like danger is coming," says Marth.

"We're already in danger…" cries Pit.

-

"I pity you guys for getting yourselves involved in this," says Califa.

"I don't need your pity!" says Pikachu.

-

"That's the voice of Samus just now!" says CF.

"Yes, and she is behind this door," says Lucci. "But I won't let you pass."

CF angrily charges at Lucci to hit him, but Lucci grabs him by his arm. "I told you I'm not letting you pass." And he throws CF to the other side of the room using one hand.

"Damn you!" CF gets up and charges forward again and throw a punch. Lucci grabs his fist, so CF lifts up his leg to kick him, but Lucci also grabs his leg and then hurls him away again.

CF charges forward yet again and throws several furious punches and kicks, but Lucci is able to block them all with ease.

CF then pulls back his fist and yells, "Falcon Punch!" He throws a powerful, fiery fist forward, and Lucci also attacks with a punch.

Both their fists come in contact together, and the powerful force sends them two flying in opposite directions and crashing into the crates.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

TO BE CONTINUED…

The Annihilation Call is summoned thanks to Spandam's mistake. They only have 30 minutes to get out of this mess alive. Can they make it in time? And will Wario ever find someone to fight? Review happily!
