HOUR FOUR: NOW FOR A STORY ABOUT FRIENDSHIP

With the area his post was going to be (the living room) being overrun by Evil Inklings, Fox had nothing better to do than run manically through the mansion. He jumped over multiple ink puddles and dodged many axes as he frantically tried to figure out his next move.

The mansion was an absolute madhouse. With HMS's army now going amok in the place, all plans that were once made were thrown out the window. Master Hand and Crazy Hand thought they had more time, the plan's foundation was having more time. But now with HMS's gang inside and completely spread out -that's another thing they didn't expect: The Hands just figured the enemy would attack as a group, not just get inside and spread out. Them doing that made having posts consisting of a handful of characters useless- it was now every man for themselves. Fox didn't like that. He worked best in a team.

Now jumping over Zoda's unconscious body, Fox decided his next course of action was to find Falco, his teammate. Fox knew he could always count on that bird, so he began running down the halls to find him.

Falco use to share a room with Bayonetta, but since she and Snake got serious she's been crashing in his room instead. Which has been great for Falco, he has had the room all to himself for the past two years. Falco and Fox have been hanging out in Falco's room because of this, that and Fox's roommate is Captain Falcon and the place has so much muscle power lying around it looks like he sells coke in there and that's just no fun for anybody. Therefore, Fox knew how to get to Falco's room so well he could do it blindfolded.

And that's exactly what he had to do. Evil Daisy, out of nowhere, jumped onto his back, grabbed his head in a way that she covered his eyes, and began trying to snap his neck. Fox stumbled down the hallway and barely made it around the corner before he knocked into a window in hopes of shaking Daisy off. It kind of worked, but now Daisy was hanging over the side of the building while holding on to Fox's ears.

Daisy was now trying to pull Fox down with her. She held on to his ears for dear life and tried to pull him down to a three-story drop. It looked like she was going to succeed, too, until Fox pulled out his gun and shot her in the chest. It didn't hurt, it was basically a toy laser gun Slippy insisted everyone on the team has, but it gave Daisy enough of a shock to cause her to let go and float to the ground.

Fox didn't bother to watch the princess float away, he immediately began running to Falco's room. He had to jump over Crash Bandicoot, skid past Skull Kid and push ChuChu out of the way before finally reaching Falco's bedroom. He kicked the door open and found Flaco inside.

And Ben Drowned next to him.

Fox froze at the sight of the creep. Ben quickly noticed Fox, after all, kicking down doors has never been a quiet task. Ben disappeared only to immediately appear again but now stand right next to the space captain with a death grip to his shirt. Ben was holding the black orb, which seemed to cause his eyes to radiant black. Fox made eye contact with him and began to feel very... Sleepy... . . .

Fox had a damn good idea what was going on but was now too tired to do anything. His surroundings began to darken. His eyelids began to close. There was nothing he could do about it.

But at the very last minute, he used his reflector. It caused Ben Drowned to fall onto his side and snap Fox out of the trance. Fox had to blink a few times before he was fully conscious again, but once he was the creep disappeared.

Before Fox could do anything about this, Falco charged at him and knocked him to the ground. The bird then began trying to choke him, his eyes hollow while doing so.

Fox didn't react to this right away. At first, he couldn't believe his friend would backstab him like this. He wondered if this was payback for the fifty bucks he borrowed a month ago and never paid back. He quickly figured no, it couldn't be, Falco would have just stolen his wallet if it were that. Fox then finally noticed the hollowness of Falco's eyes.

"Oh, no," Fox coughed out as he began trying to push Falco away. For someone who doesn't have fingers, Falco had quite the grip.

Fox had no choice but to use his reflector on his friend. It knocked Falco to the ground, giving Fox enough time to run out of the room and slam the door.

He figured the best course of action was to barricade Falco in the room. Fox didn't how to stop or save him, so might as well keep him from hurting others. Fox ignored the video game characters frantically running around him as he began piling Ikea furniture against the door. The only thing that broke his concentration was something from the ground grabbing his leg.

"OH F###!" Fox screamed, dropping the table he was holding. He looked down and found one of the floor tiles have been moved and Samus and Kirby were poking out of it.

"Oh, thank God, your voice is back to normal," Samus said, letting go of Fox's leg.

"You want to hide with us, weirdo?" Kirby asked.

Fox smiled at the sight of his old friends. He pushed one last coffee table in front of the door and then jumped into the floor. Samus then pulled the tile back and any evidence of them ever being there was gone.

HOUR FOUR AND A HALF: ACTIONS MIGHT HAVE CONSEQUENCES

As the world around her was falling apart, Nana sat in a corner of the dining room, hugging her knees and scared out of her mind.

Popo was gone. When the mansion first started getting raided all the auditioning characters started freaking out and caused a stampede. Popo and Nana tried to run to a corner of the room away from the exit in hopes of just waiting for the stampede out there, but Popo got swept away by the crowd. Nana was able to reach the less crowded area and decided to just wait there for her brother to come back for her.

That was an hour ago. Nana now had no idea if he was coming back at all.

She buried her face into her hands. She never had to deal with anything by herself before. It was always Nana and Popo, her and him. Even when Popo did leave she always knew he was coming back. Now she didn't, and it terrified her. All she could do now was sit and worry.

But suddenly, someone placed a hand on her. Thinking Popo was finally back, she smiled and looked up.

Nope. It was actually Bayonetta, of all people. "Looks like you can use some help, darling," she said while smiling her signature smile.

Nana's smile, on the other hand, dropped. "Oh, hi," was all she could respond.

Bayonetta didn't like this reply. "Seriously? I come all this way just to get an 'oh, hi'? You always looked nicer than that,"

"Oh! Sorry! Please don't be upset!" Nana jumped up and exclaimed. The last thing she wanted to do was get on a fan favorite's bad side. "I just thought you were- LOOK OUT!"

Bayonetta turned around just in time to watch evil Isabelle hook onto her hair. Bayonetta lunged forward when the dog began reeling her in, but she quickly regained her footing and began pulling Isabelle towards her instead. "Oh, you're making this easy," she sneered as was just about to kick Isabelle in the face. But right when the dog was close enough to do that, Isabelle pulls a banana gun and shoots Bayonetta right in the face.

She fell to the ground. "G##damn," she swore under her breath. She began to pick herself up, she sees Isabelle aim a Llyod at her. Bayonetta's eyes widened as the damn thing began flying towards her.

Thank goodness Nana jumped up and used her hammer to whack the thing and send it flying back to Isabella. The dog pulled up her sheld but Llyod broke it, causing her to not only get hurt but also become dazed.

"Perfect!" Bayonetta cheered as she got back on her feet. Nana immediately assumed she was talking to her, as in complimenting her for finally getting off her butt. "Why, thank you. I was worried that hitting it would just cause the thing to explode, but I took a gamble and I'm glad it paid off- What are you doing?"

Bayonetta now stood right next to evil Isabelle, who was still dazed. "This is what you get for messing with me, darling," she said right before shooting the little thing in the head.

"NO!" Nana screamed, lunging for the gun. It was too late, Isabelle's dead body fell to the ground as Nana grabbed Bayonetta's arm and pulled her to the ground as well. "Why would you do that? She probably didn't mean to hurt you!"

Bayonetta laughed at the thought of this. "Didn't you see her eyes! They were windows into nothingness. She was clearly brainwashed by that Happy Mask freak. I had to stop her. She was just going to hurt others,"

"In that case, she didn't know what she was doing! She didn't need to die! We could have-"

"Owwww. What just happened?"

The two looked over and watched as Isabelle slowly sat up. Her eyes were back to normal and she looked utterly confused. "Did I hit my head?" she asked them.

Nana was too busy having her jaw on the floor to see the grin growing on Bayonetta's face. "Oh, this is just lovely," she said as she nudged Nana. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm having a hard time thinking at all right now," was Nana's response. She snapped herself out of her shock and began yelled. "What was THAT! You freaking killed her! How- What- What is going on?!"

"I died?" Isabelle asked rather casually. She was still too confused to understand what exactly was going on.

Bayonetta just shook her head and nudged Nana to start walking. "Come on, let's go back to where Snake and Popo are and figure out a plan,"

HOUR FIVE: THE GAME ROOM

Have you ever hide underneath a pool table before? No? Well, let me describe the experience for you.

At first, it's going to be pretty nice. You'll find the rug it's on surprisingly comfy. You'll also be surprised to find not much gum underneath the thing, but messages instead. Stuff like "ness was here 07/2011" and "Ike&Zelda 4evr" written on the underside of the game. You'll find these messages comforting because for some reason knowing you're not the first person to be sitting under here makes you feel a little less stupid.

After an hour of being under there your neck is going to start complaining, along with your back and butt. The rug ain't actually as comfortable as you first thought it was. You're going to find yourself preferring lying down underneath there much more than sitting down.

The two-hour mark is when you realize this sucks. You were never able to feel your butt bones until now and you hate it. You'll be sick of the crappy rug. You'll be sick of the stupid messages. You'll even be sick of all thirty-seven hairs that are in the three pieces of gum stuck under there. You'll be sick of everything and literally want to be anywhere other than here.

Yeah, take a wild guess where I've been hiding.

I figured the game room would be a good place to hide. I mean, at the end of the day, who the hell hides in a game room during a war? No one would think of going in here! Except me! And that's what I did.

The thing is, this game room has windows. That people could see through. That's why I've been hiding underneath the pool table, the only table game that's not only not near a window, but also next to a couch, giving me extra coverage.

And if you haven't noticed yet, it sucks down here. My phone died an hour ago and I've been losing brain cells from boredom ever since. I should get out. I should be out there helping. But I can't. I have no way of helping out there. In fact, I'll most likely get in the way. I'm sure others have already figured out the black orb thing and even if they didn't I saw Ben Drowned get it before running in here, so there's almost no way to pinpoint him down and get it. I'm sure I'll be the most helpful right here, out of the way. I'm just going to stay here and count the letters written on this pool table again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7-

Do I smell smoke?

HOUR SIX: BURN ALL THE BAR DOWN

"Heeeelp! HEEEEELP!"

Dark Pit screamed out through the smoke. He was sitting next to a Lucina, who was not only unconscious but also trapped underneath the support beam that fell on her moments ago. No matter how hard he tried, Dark Pit couldn't get her free. All he could now do was cry out for help.

"IS ANYBODY THERE!? WE NEED HELP!" he cried out. No answer.

Lucina and Dark Pit came in here half an hour ago to hide out and plan what to do about the insanity. They soon began arguing about what exactly they should do: Lucina wanted to sneak over to wherever Happy Mask Salesman was and assassinate him. Dark Pit wanted to have Palutena's god friends wipe the mansion off the face of the Earth. Lucina thought Dark Pit's plan was too reckless and vice versa thought it'd be impossible to sneak up to HMS. While they were arguing evil Young Link and evil Richter burst in, lit the place up and left the two teenagers to die.

One of them could escape easily, but Dark Pit wasn't going to leave his girlfriend behind. "HEEEEELP USSSS!" he screamed out one more time before going back to trying to free Lucina. "Lucina! Wake the f### up!" he exclaimed as he shook her back and forth. Nothing. Which is never a good thing, especially now, with the flames getting closer.

Dark Pit looked around his surroundings just in time to watch a booze bottle explode from the heat. He covered his and Lucina's face and when he looked up he noticed a water bottle behind the broken bottle. He quickly jumped up and grabbed it. But instead of trying to use it to put out some flames, he poured it on Lucina's face instead.

"Oh, come on!" Lucina coughed moments after the water snapped her back to consciousness. "Was that necessary?" she asked Dark Pit. The angel didn't bother to reply to her but instead waited for her to notice all the fire and the stuck-ness.

When she did, she started screaming. "Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Oh, gods! What the hell happened, Dark Pit?!" she screamed as she frantically tried to get herself up. Her and Pittoo tried to move the support beam, but no luck.

"A##holes lit this place and got you stuck," he explained as he picked up the bar counter and placed it underneath the beam. He then wedged a chair leg under that and began jumping on the counter, trying to seesaw his girlfriend out of certain doom. It wasn't working. "You've been out cold for over ten minutes now, but now that-"

"Why didn't you leave?!" the princess exclaimed, once again annoyed with her boyfriend's actions.

Dark Pit scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Oh, wow! You're right! I should have left you here for who knows how long and convinced some people to run into a burning room in hopes you're still alive once we came back! How stupid of me to not think that." Pittoo stared at her for a few seconds to emphasize his point before going back to the jumping. "Listen, I've been trying to do the best I can, but it being as hot as the sun surface in here -trust me, it is, I know that for a fact- is kind of making it hard to think-"

"No! You leave! Get out of here!" Lucina said as she pushed one of Pittoo's legs, causing him to fall over. "You need to get out of here!"

That confused Pittoo. He didn't bother to get up, instead, he just sat on the floor next to Lucina. "What? And leave you here?"

"Yes! Forget about me! Save yourself!"

"No,"

"Why the hell not?!"

"Because-"

Suddenly, they heard something. Someone was outside! "Hey! Help! Heeeeelp!" Dark Pit began screaming again. The person seemed to hear them because Pittoo could now see an outline of them through the smoke. "Yeah, you! We need your help! My girlfriend is stuck and I-"

"Dear, shut up," Lucina grabbed his arm and whispered.

Dark Pit looked at her like she was crazy. But before he could say anything, evil King K. Rool jumped out of the smoke and tackled both of them, his weight breaking the beam Lucina was under and also knocking Dark Pit out.

Lucina knocked that ruler away, jumped up and pulled out her sword. "Come at me!" she stood in front of her boyfriend's unconscious body and screamed. King K. Rool gladly accepted the challenge and shot his cannon at her, an attack Lucina easily dodged and then charged towards the animal. "I cannot lose!" was what she screamed right before the crocodile punched her in the stomach and made her crash into a liquor cabinet.

The princess slowly sat up just in time to see King K. Rool grab Dark Pit by the wings and began carrying him out. "No! Stop!" she screamed as she tried jumping up. Instead, glass pieces pierced through her skin and the pain kept her from standing up.

The ruler ignored her screaming and headed for the door. HMS was going to be so pleased with what he caught.

...But we will never know! But right before King K. Rool could step out Jack Sparrow jumped out of the flames and whacked him over the head with an empty bottle! "Take that, you bloke!" he exclaimed as he took hold of Dark Pit, pulled him out of evil King K. Rool's grip, and tossed him outside the bar. "I came here to loot booze, but I'll be damn if I let you hurt the children!" he screamed as he picked up Lucina and tossed her out too. "Go! I'll defend the bar with my life!" Jack tackled King K. Rool and knocked him into a wall. It was a good thing he did, part of the ceiling collapsed right where they were just standing.

Lucina didn't question any of this. She just picked her boyfriend up, threw him over her shoulder and ran as far away from the fire as possible.
