Floodwater

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from the Super Smash Brothers Games, as they are actually the property of Nintendo (but of course). If you assumed that I would take these characters as my own, then you are misinformed.

Author's Note: This chapter is about the infected Smashers integrating with the uninfected ones. Also, the uninfected Smashers begin to ask questions about where the people killed in the ward are. This could possibly mean part of Mewtwo's plans becoming revealed.

Chapter Four: First Flood

"Roy, Marth! Are you there?" shouted Link, now tied to the ground.

"Yeah, we're here!" shouted Marth, from the other room.

"Is there anyway that you can cut yourself free?" asked Link.

"Actually, I've got this little Swiss army knife!" said Marth, "I can try and cut myself free!"

"Wait, I've also got a Swiss army knife! I can try getting myself out as well!" said Link.

"We don't have much time!" said Marth, "Cut yourself quickly!"

"Hey Falcon!" said Donkey Kong, "Come here!"

Falcon, now on the second storey, passed a few bedrooms, and walked to Donkey Kong.

"What?" asked Falcon.

"Be quiet," said Donkey Kong, putting his finger over his mouth, "I think the water has been infected, and has been making some people do some crazy things."

"Really?" asked Falcon.

"Discuss it in this nearby bathroom, and make sure nobody is looking," said Donkey Kong.

Falcon and Donkey Kong walked into the bathroom.

"Now, the whereabouts of some of the Smashers is a mystery," said Donkey Kong, "And I personally believe that Fox, Mewtwo and Bowser are up to something."

"Now, have you touched any of the floodwater recently? Like, the poisoned water from the wave pool?" asked Donkey Kong.

"I'm not sure," said Falcon.

"Wash your hands with soap, just in case," said Donkey Kong.

"Okay," said Falcon, washing his hands.

"Now, do not trust any of them, okay?" asked Donkey Kong, "I think they killed Mario, Pikachu, Link, Falco and many others, okay?"

"Okay," said Captain Falcon.

Donkey Kong walked out of the bathroom, and walked up to Mewtwo.

"Falcon is infected," said Donkey Kong. "I made him wash his hands."

"Excellent," said Mewtwo.

"I'm free!" said Link, cutting off the last restraint.

"Yes!" said Falco, "Now can you cut my ropes off?"

"Sure!" said Link, turning on the lights. "Marth, are you free?"

"Yep," said Marth, "And I'm trying to get Roy free as well!"

Link looked at the door, seeing some water, slowly seeping in through the crack.

"Oh crap," said Link, "Marth, we have to run!"

Marth ran into Link's room.

"Why?" asked Marth.

"The water is coming!" said Link. "We still have shoes on, so we shouldn't get infected!"

"But what about Roy and Falco?" asked Marth.

"But if we try and save them, then we could get infected!" said Link. "Do you have a sword?"

"Yep," said Marth.

"Okay, you go and slice Roy, and then I'll set Falco free!" said Link.

Marth ran into Roy's room. He saw some water on the floor, gradually seeping towards Roy.

"Oh crap, the water is already leaking through!" shouted Marth.

"Cut me already!" screamed Roy.

Marth sliced Roy's ropes off, and shouted, "Run Roy!"

Roy looked behind him, noticing about thirty metres away, about half a metre of water rushing through a room.

"Run!" screamed Roy.

Marth and Roy sprinted through a few rooms, back into Link's.

"There!" said Link, finally slicing Falco's ropes.

"Run through the door!" said Falco, opening the door.

A giant stream of water rushed through the open door, hitting Falco. Marth and Link, noticing the water, by reflex jumped onto the hospital bed. The waves rushed through the whole ward, also hitting Roy.

"Damn it," said Link, "I think they're infected!"

"Save me!" said Roy, up to his knees in water.

"I'll try!" said Marth.

"He's already made contact! Don't bother!" said Link, "He'll kill you!"

"But what if there is a few minutes before he's infected? What if I can save him?" asked Marth, standing next to Link on the hospital bed.

"We have to get out of here through the air vents! We're only a ruler-length above the water!" said Link. "You can't save him!"

Link jumped from the bed, up onto a higher table. He opened the air vent on the ceiling, and pulled himself up, into the vent.

"Hurry Marth, it's going to reach you! There's no point! He's already infected!" said Link, from the air vent, a few metres above the water.

"But I-"

A metre-high wave rushed through the room, pulling Marth along with it. The wave pushed him, head-first into the wall, drawing blood, killing him.

"NUUUUUEEEEEEZZZZZZ!1" screamed Link.

"Everyone who is still alive, come into this room!" shouted Master Hand.

Fox, DK, Bowser, Mewtwo, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Jigglypuff and Samus walked into the air hockey room.

"How do you feel?" whispered Donkey Kong to Falcon.

"Homicidal," whispered back Falcon, now with red eyes.

"So there are eight of us left," said Master Hand. "Wait… how can that be? What about Link?"

"Or Ness? Or Falco? Or Link? Or practically everyone?" asked Kirby, puzzled.

"Does anyone know what happened?" asked Master Hand.

"Er…" said Mewtwo, "They must have drowned… from the flood…"

"I think we know that," said Master Hand, "But how come, like ten people didn't come when I called everybody up? I mean, it must be the sensible thing to get away from the flood!"

"Yeah… very strange…" said Mewtwo, nervously.

Link walked in.

"Link, where were you?" asked Master Hand.

Said Link, "It's a long story, and a very shocking one-"

Mewtwo telekinetically pushed Link out of the room, and ordered Fox, Donkey Kong, Bowser and Captain Falcon to go after him.

"Help me!" shouted Link. "It's them! They were the ones who murdered all of them!"

"Murder?" said Master Hand.

"Er… nothing!" said Mewtwo, running out of the room, closing the door behind him.

"Barricade the door!" said Mewtwo, grinning.

Donkey Kong and Bowser started to push heavy objects against the door.

"Murder?" said Master Hand, inside the room.

"NUUUEZ!1 Help me!" screamed Link.
