Hey guys, What's up? I managed to have some free time on my hand to create a new chapter. Now i'm not ready to create chapters on a regular basis yet.
I'd just release this chapter for a treat, like the small appetizer before the main course.
I hope you like it.
Chapter 26: Outrage
It was pretty nice today.
That's what Swordfighter thought to himself as he stared at the big blue sky, riding his jet ski on the ocean. Even though he's seen it plenty of times, he never get tired of it.
"Man, I'm so glad you brought me out here today." The woman behind him said, grasping onto his waist. "It's what I needed after working my pain-in-the-ass job overtime!"
"Ha" He chuckled "I wanted to give you a reward. You're the hardest worker I know. You deserve this, hon."
"Ah, how sweet of you." Sword's girlfriend replied, giving him a peck on the cheek.
The two were passing by the stadium that was near the cliff, standing tall above the water. He took a look to see the same concrete stairs surrounding most of the stage, crowds of hundreds cheering as two swordsman were battling on a target-shaped platform, doing their best to knock their opponent in the water.
"Looks like the entire place is packed." Remarked the girl.
"Well, it is the most popular sport on the island, it be natural for the stadium to be filled." Explained Swordfighter. "After all, I talk from experience."
"With you being the best fencer in Wuhu, I expected nothing less." Cooed his girlfriend, rubbing his shoulders.
During the massage, the boyfriend saw that one of the fighters was cornering his opponent near the edge of the circle, the opposing fighter did all he could to stay on, but was propel off the stage by a hard whack from a glowing sword. "Ooh, that's gotta smart."
"Yeah, that was absolutely savage." His lover joked. "Just get a load of the screams of terror coming from that guy."
He indulged, rotating his ear in the direction of the falling man, but felt very concerned to what he heard. The man was screaming in hysteria, as if his soul was being torn to shreds. It was like this person was in actual danger.
When the player final hit the water, a loud crash could be heard from all direction, after which was accompanied by a long continuous car horn.
The unexpected noise immediately alarmed Swordfighter. "What the hell was that?!" He asked his girlfriend as he turned around.
His partner was not there, she literally disappeared out of thin air, but that wasn't the only thing that was shocking: The Sky had gone dark; stormy thunderclouds and heavy rain covered the atmosphere, accompanied with the water that had become a sickly black, looking more akin to crude oil than anything else.
The Jet Ski turned off by its own volition, its metal rusting at an exceeding rate as it began to sink.
"WHAT!? OH GOD!" Shouted Swordfighter, he was trying to keep himself afloat in the water, but he was no match for the power of the tide. "I WANT TO LIVE! ANYONE! HELP! I-bliug" Was all he said before the seawater silenced his cry.
In his panic, he attempted to swim upwards was pulled further to the bottom by something grabbing his leg. Swordfighter looked down to see a multitude of shadowy hands grasping onto his feet, now advancing on his waist.
Swordfighter screamed underwater, the last air he'll ever breathe escaping his mouth.
With his fate sealed, his vision began to fade. The last thing Swordfighter saw before everything went dark, was a pair of red beady eyes that snarled at him. Growling with rows of broken teeth.
"Yah!" Yelped Swordfighter, springing his back off the mattress from his terrible nightmare.
"Are you okay Sword!" Asked Gunner who was standing near the bed. "It looked like you were in trouble."
"Oh, uh…" Swordfighter was rubbing his temples, feeling groggy he didn't get much sleep. "Yeah. I had a bad dream but it's over now."
"A bad dream?"
"The worst one I had in a while." Admitted the sword wielder. "It felt so real…and familiar."
"It's just a dream, Sword. It's not going to kill you." Replied Brawler, putting on his brown gloves and red shirt. "If you feel so concerned over a damn nightmare, you can share it with the rest of us on the way to training. I heard Marth and Mewtwo is actually going to teach us how to attack properly for once."
"Attacking?" Sword thought out loud to himself before remembering. "Oh that's right. They told us about it a week in advance."
Sword finally got out of bed, letting out a loud yawn from his mouth.
"Are you sure you want to come with us Sword? You look awfully tired. You could take the day off the rest and regain some stamina." Responded the female Mii.
"As comfortable as that sounds, I'm afraid I have to decline." Answered Sword. "If I want to become a better Smasher, than I have to practice as much as I can. Even during times when it's not convenient, like exactly now for instance."
"Then let's get going." Remarked Brawler. "The sooner we get there, the better."
"Wait! Hold up." Sword said raising a hand. "I still need time to prepare for training, I'm not ready yet."
"Do you want us to wait for you?" Questioned the shooter.
"It wouldn't be fair if you guys stayed behind because of me. Why don't you guys go on without me, I'll catch up when I can."
The two Mii's nodded, leaving the room in an orderly fashion. When they left, Swordfighter took off his pajamas and adorned his fighter's outfit. Dusting off the extra lint that stayed behind from the tumble dryer.
After he gathered his blade and brushed his teeth, he went into the hallway and headed for the kitchen, hoping to get a quick bite to eat before heading out to the gym.
The blonde Mii was chewing on the last bite of his bagel, swallowing it with extreme delight.
'I'm very excited for the new attacks were going to learn today, we haven't had the opportunity to improve our offense techniques in quite a while, hopefully the skills Marth teaches us will be useful in the future.'
Sword approached the gym door and opened it; sounds of a heated argument going down immediately reached his ear drums
"Is this some sort of joke?!"
"Sadly no, I'm not pulling your leg Brawler. I'm serious."
"That's bulls**t. You can't do this, it's not fair to the rest of us."
Brawler was shouting at Marth, being very upset. Whiles Marth did his best to calm the fighter, with Gunner, Mega Man, Mewtwo, Wii Fit, and Villager watching the fight unfold.
"What in the hell is going on here?!" Exclaimed Swordfighter, as all eyes began to turn to him.
"Ahhhh! Sword! There you are, I've wondered if you ever going to show up!" The fist-fighter said in a bitter tone. "Get a load of what this guy is saying! It's insane!"
"What's he going on about?" Asked the blond Mii.
The prince sighed, not wanting to explain the topic at hand. "I know that some of you are not going to like this, but I regret to inform you that all training sessions have been canceled to further notice, as well as Newcomers participating in missions outside of the mansion."
Swordfighter was shocked upon hearing the announcement, staying silent for a couple seconds before responding. "What?!"
"There was an issue going around the palace, concerning the safety newcomers. We thought it was not wise to put so much strain on you at this stage of your development. So the Veterans took a vote on temporary banning the sessions and mission participation. It was a unanimous majority."
"You do not have the right to do that!" Declared Brawler.
"Brawler, calm dow-" Said Gunner before being interrupted.
"No, I'm not going to be chill, this is a serious problem, and I'm not going to calm down till it's fixed!"
"Brawler, I know how upset you are-" Appealed Marth.
"Oh, I bet you do." Sarcastically retorted Brawler.
"-but this is for the best, all of you are not ready for such offensive power, you might hurt yourself or others. When the WOT becomes more stable, we'll teach you new attacks."
""WOT Becomes more stable"?! Are you kidding me! This realm with never be stable'! It'll always be chaotic and unpredictable! If we did everything your way, we'll never grow! We need to learn this moves. NOW!"
"I don't like where this is going. This debate is getting pretty bad." Villager whispered to Mega Man.
"And I think it's going to get a lot worse." The android replied as he pointed towards Mewtwo.
The psychic Pokémon stood by Marth's side, using his telepathy to communicate to Brawler.
"Brawler. We've been here much longer than you, we know how the laws of the WOT works, and we also know the joys and dangers that cover this land. We're not doing this to be cruel, we're trying to help you, that's all."
"Well I don't want your help." Brawler spat with disgust, wiping the sweat of his forehead. "It was you wasn't it?"
"I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to convey."
"You started this entire ban didn't you?" Accused Brawler. "You seem like the type of guy who leads, instead of follows. I bet you pulled the heartstrings of the people here for you to get your way! I-"
"No."
"No?"
"No. I did not started the whole vote on the ban, I was against it as a matter of fact. I voted nay."
"Well, if you didn't start the vote, than who did?"
"That would be me." Answered a different telepathic voice. The group rotated to the door to see Lucario, he had passing by the gym when he heard the discussion, feeling compelled to get involved.
"Huh, so it was you all along." The fist-fighter said in a more relaxed tone, getting closer to the jackal. "What's with the sudden change of mind on training? I thought you wanted us to become better Smashers?"
The aura Pokémon took a deep breath, collecting his thoughts before satisfying the Mii's question.
"After what happened last mission, witnessing the casualties that took place, I believe that it was too risky and dangerous to train the Newcomers at this current moment in time. So I brought my case to the Veterans and we took a vote, it passed, and we implemented the ban."
Despite Lucario's best efforts, it wasn't effective in relaxing Brawler. "So let me get this straight, you decided to postponed all the necessary training we need to survive in this world, because someone got hurt? Are you joking?! It feels like your trying to piss me off on purpose!"
"Guys, come on. Don't-" Spoke Swordfighter.
"No." Interrupted Wii Fit, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let them."
"It's not like that Brawler!" Retorted the canine "I didn't "ban" Newcomer participation just because Gunner went into her trophy state. It was because I had a sudden realization! You guys are new to this world, you have powerful tools at your disposal, but you don't have the proper skills or knowledge necessary to properly fight against the elements of the WOT. It was irresponsible of us to bring you guys on these missions when you're still in your training shoes, you could have gotten seriously hurt! It was a miracle it didn't happen sooner, also, I may have started the discussion but this isn't entirely my doing. It was a group vote."
"Getting hurt is part of process, Lucario!" Argued the fist-fighter. "You can't ride a bike without getting a couple scratches. Forcing us not to train will make us deliberately vulnerable. We need to train to improve ourselves!"
"I agree with you on that, but we can't do it at this time. With the Newcoming happening, and the with a potential madman terrorist on the loose, it'll be too much of a risk to put all of this strain on the Newcomers. When all of this is over, we'll resume training, I promise."
"We are not children, damn it, we can handle ourselves."
"Hold up, I thought you said earlier that you hated training?" Asked Mega Man. "Why now all of a sudden you're outrage we can't do it right now."
"That is none of your consider kid!" Brawler said in a harsh tone.
"Brawler, enough." Mewtwo stated in a firm tone.
The Mii dressed in red, turned around, giving the Pokémon as scornful look. "Enough? How can you stand idle whiles this idiocy takes place?! You said it yourself that you disagreed with the vote, why aren't you standing up against it?!"
The psychic shook his head in displeasure. "Whiles I heavily disagree with the vote, I still stand by it. This was a group decision, and the majority is first priority. If any of us force these decisions without proper procedure or vetting, it would devolve into a power struggle."
"The majority is not always right!"
"Possibly, but it's the rule of this place; we have to stand by it, even if it includes decisions that we don't like." Mewtwo faced the rest of the Newcomers "Since training has been postponed, you are allowed to whatever you want in this mission, do whatever you like. You're all dismissed!"
As the group began to move towards the door, Brawler's eye began to twitch involuntary, feeling insulted from the way the Smasher's are running the mansion. In his outrage, he forcefully grabbed Mewtwo's arm. "You listen to me! You can't-"
Brawler was pushed to the ground by an unseen force, and levitated slightly above the ground. Some of the crowd gasped at this show of man-handling by Mewtwo, whose furious eyes had glowed blue under the tremendous psychic energy that's coursing through his mind.
"NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME!" The Pokémon's voice was so cold, it could freeze the hottest of temperatures.
"Mewtwo, What you doing?!" Lucario shouted.
"Emphasizing my point." Stated Mewtwo, before looking deep into Brawler's eyes. "I don't give a damn if you're upset over the ban, I couldn't care less. We're doing this to help you all, you spiteful brat. And this how you treat us after all this time, after we took you and took care of you? How immature. If this keeps up, or if you lay another hand on me again, I'll make sure that you'll be permanently banned from training. Do I make myself clear?"
Brawler stayed silent, grinding his teeth as he clenched his hands tightly.
"Hmph, that's what I thought." He slowly placed the Mii back on the ground, to which he collapsed onto his buttocks.
Mewtwo turned around to a stunned crowd, not sure on what to say. "Like I said, do whatever you want, I've got to finish my duties around the mansion, dismissed!" He declared before teleporting elsewhere.
It took a couple of moments, but finally the group began to move again, exiting through the gym door, leaving the Brawler, Gunner, and Swordfighter all by themselves.
"Are you okay Brawler?" Gunner asked as she and Sword approached him caution.
The fist-fighter was muttering to himself, shivering and tearing up under the intense anger running through his body. "That ungodly…pink f***ing, d**k-tailed, Mother******** son of a BITCH!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Brawler stormed out of the room, kicking the door open as he disappeared into the hallway.
"That escalated quickly." Commented Sword.
"This is not good, we have to go after him." Said Gunner.
"I agree, Brawler unpredictable when he's angry, come on! Let's get a move on!"
The two Mii's ran after their friend, hoping to calm the beast before anything happens.
Gunner and Sword was following Brawler until he went inside their bed room, looking inside, the two could see the fist-fighter pacing back and forth, being visibly frustrated.
"They can't do this to us!" Exclaimed Brawler. "Not only is it stupid, they are making us weak on purpose. How could they be so brain dead!?"
Gunner walked in, trying her best to look confident. "Perhaps it won't be too bad Brawler, since we can't train anymore, we'll have more free time to ourselves, wouldn't that be great?"
He turned around giving the shooter a dead-panned expression. "Having free time won't matter if this place falls, imagine what would happen if all the Veterans fell in battle? All of us will be poorly prepared to take on the world; it's ridiculous!"
"Brawler, it's only temporary, it's not like the bans going to continue forever."
"We need to learn the techniques now Gunner." Argued the fist-fighter "With everything that's happening now, it could save us from dying out there. Are you two honestly fine with this rule?!"
The two stood silent as they tried to form their own answers, Gunner was first. "Well, I guess, I mean…I'm not exactly ready for this type of stuff-"
"You're never ready." Remarked Brawler, doing a defeated face palm before turning to Sword. "How about you?! What do you think?"
"I…" Sword swallowed his spit, feeling uncomfortable at the situation. "…don't really like how they are taking care of this. I was so eager to learn how to learn the art of smashing, but now that we can't, I feel kind of upset."
"Do you now?" Asked the fist-fighter, raising an eyebrow. Maybe he and Sword had more in common than they thought.
"But I don't want to disappoint them or make them angry as well, I'm pretty conflicted, I could try to appeal to their better nature in order to reinstate training again."
He spoke to soon.
Brawler snarled out loud as he began to pace again. "Well I'm very disappointed in them. They been here way longer than us, and went through many adversaries and challenges, they should know what the world is really like! But instead they treat us like cowardly children?! Unbelievable!" Said the black-haired Mii as he accidently kicked the bedroom's treasure chest on its side, spilling its contents.
"Ah dammit, more crap I have to put up with." He stated as he tried to clean up.
"Well maybe we should look on the bright side." Commented Sword. "I mean, we can always-"
"Sword, just shut up." Said the fist-fighter. "You're making things worse." The Mii was almost done putting everything in the chest, when he saw a new item that wasn't there before: a sphere that was a dark blue at on side, and an orange-red at the other.
"What the hell is this?" He picked up the object, carefully expecting it. The other two Mii's came close to the fist-fighter to get a better look.
"Where did that came from?" Asked Gunner.
"Don't know, I found it, apparently it was in the chest." Responded Brawler.
"Hm, you know, that ball looks familiar, it's almost…Wait! Hold up!" Sword began to search the chest, frantically shuffling the items inside. "They're not here!"
"What's not here?" Said the fist-fighter.
"The gems!" Explained the blond as he closed the chest. "They're missing!"
"You mean the three crystal balls we found on our adventures?" Questioned Gunner.
"Yeah! They're gone!"
"How could they go missing?!" Spoke the shooter.
"I think a better question is what happened to them." Corrected Brawler "Did someone steal our treasure?"
"I don't think it ever left the room." Said Swordfighter, causing the other two Mii's to become confused.
"If it didn't left the room, then where is it now?" Asked the fist-fighter.
"Your hand." Pointed the Sword wielder. "I think it's in your hand!"
"What?! Sputtered Gunner, taking the sphere into her own hands. "This thing is a result of what happened to our gems?"
"It has to be, there is no other explanation!" Stated Sword. That sphere is the size of the crystal ball that Villager gave to me, and it has the colors of your guy's gems. Our crystals must have combined when we weren't looking!
"But why would it do such a thing?" Said the shooter.
"I…I don't know." Sword rubbed the back of his head, not sure on what's taking place here.
Just then the sphere glowed, creating a white hue that sparkled in Gunner's hand.
"Woah!"
"What's wrong Sword?!"
"Yeah, what's with the freak out? You're acting like a creep."
"The ball! It's glowing!" Announced the blond.
"Glowing?" Said Gunner as she looked at the object in her hand. "I don't know what you're talking about, it looks perfectly fine to me."
"Wait, you guys don't see it?"
"No, what the hell are you talking about?" Asked Brawler.
'The glow, am I only one that can see it?' Thought Sword 'Maybe it's doing that for a reason, perhaps it's calling for me?'
Sword went to Gunner, cautiously touching the object with his index finger, which caused an immediate reaction. Holograms made of white light began to fill the room: Starfish and moss began to cover the walls, bubbles began to float in the air, and sand and coral began to sprout from the floor.
"What's happening?!" Exclaimed Gunner.
"I don't know, but I don't think we should stick around to find out!" Spoke the fist-fighter "Let's get out of here!" The fighter tried to exit the room, but stopped in their tracks when they saw a swarm of piranha, sharks, and pairs of tentacles guarding the door. Brawler took a step forward but the fish growled and displayed their teeth at him, causing him to go back, and allowing the fish to become non-hostile.
"This is insane, we need to get help." Gunner took a deep breath before shouting "HELLO! ANYONE THERE? WE NEED SOME HELP!" However her efforts were fruitless however, in addition to creating holographs, the crystal sphere also created a barrier, preventing sound from going in or out.
"What did you do?!" Brawler accused Sword.
"ME?!"
"This happened when you touched the thing! What did you do?"
"I don't know! I just touched it, that's all!"
"Where are these things?" Questioned Gunner, wanting to change the subject.
Sword look around, writing down the details in his mind. "They look like holograms, more specifically of seaweed, fish, sand…basically stuff you typically find in the ocean."
"Why would the sphere create a holographic environment of an ocean?" Asked Brawler.
"No idea, but what I really want to know is why that thing is there!" Exclaimed Gunner as she pointed to the middle of the bed room. There was a large text box that floated in the air.
Want To Play?
Yes? No?
"A game? What game is it talking about?" Asked Sword. "Will it play a game if I press "yes"?"
"Should we press yes then?" Questioned Gunner, folding her hands nervously.
Brawler looked dumbfounded, shocked to hear her suggest an idea like that. "Uh…No! We shouldn't!"
"You think something bad will happen if we pick yes or no?" Spoke the sword wielder.
"Oh no, I think it'll give us presents and candy, of course something bad will happen if we press it!" Brawler declared in a sarcastic tone. "That crystal abomination created those freaks to guard the door." Gesturing to the piranha and sharks. "It could lead us into a death trap if we accept, so we can't press yes! no matter-"
The box selected "Yes." Apparently, it had an option of being voice operated. The words in the holographic square changed, presenting a different set of guidelines.
Welcome Player!
Game Selected: Deep Diving
The scuba diver wants to find a treasure that is hidden deep below the sea, help the guy by guiding him through the dark abyss, avoiding dangerous obstacles and ferocious sea monsters that would kill him in an instant. If you get the bottom and open the chest, you'll be rewarded.
To prevent unnessacry interruptions, the surrounding area have been turned sound-proof. So there's no need to worry about any kind of obstruction.
Pick the controller on the floor when you're ready!
The trio looked downwards, and just like the text said, there was indeed a video game controller on the floor. It was similar to the controllers they had in the game room, but instead it had an ocean-themed design: Seaweed was wrapped around the grips, the buttons were made from various sea shells, and the frame was made from a very dense yellowish grainy substance, most likely sand.
"It wants us to play?" Asked Gunner. "Is this like a video game or something?"
"Possibly, but we won't know for sure until we press start." Explained Swordfighter.
"Wait, you're not actually thinking of picking that controller are you?" Questioned Brawler. "That's dangerous Sword! You don't know what it would do! For all we know it could be a trap!"
He made sense in that regard, there is was they can predict what would happen if they would play, or what the reward would be, the safest thing to do would be to wait it out, and hope help would come.
But something in Swordfighter told him he had to pick of the controller, play the entire game. It was like he was compelled by some unseen force. That was when he made his decision. "I'll play."
Gunner looked confused whiles Brawler was shocked. "Sword! Are you-"
"I have a feeling Brawler." Stated the blonde "I have a feeling that we have to play this game, it's the only way we can escape! The room has been sound-proofed, and the door is blocked, this has to happen guys, I have a gut feeling."
"And where did the gut feeling come from?" Spoke the shooter.
The sword wielder took a self-reflection within himself, he stayed silent for a moment before saying. "I don't know, it's a feeling, like instinct. You know?"
The fist-fighter sighed before shaking his head. "Fine, play the damn thing! But don't say I didn't warn you!"
Sword nodded before facing the device that was one the floor, he picked it up ever so carefully, when he touched it, a sense of duty and revitalization ran through his core, once the anticipation passed, he pressed the button.
The screen changed to a 32-bit scenery, with a fishing boat sailing in a treacherous sea. On top of the boat was a diver putting on his gear, when he was prepared, he jumped in the water.
Nervousness racked through the trio's brains as the scuba diver swam to the deep dark trenches below.
"So you're saying this just appeared" Lucario was in the lab, looking at the computer, seeing that the white box was now apparently opened.
"Yep, happened a few minutes ago." Explained Samus, moving he mouse to click on the window. "Check it out."
The white box expanded, displaying a question that puzzled everyone in the room.
Solve all three problems, and you'll gain all the pieces of the puzzle, the key of finding out who I'm really am.
Question 1: What is a star's favorite snack: _
"What is this all about?" Snake was rubbing his chin, think on what the words really meant.
"We think it's a riddle of some kind, but other than that, Sammy and I are stumped to what its purpose is." Answered Fox.
"It said three a questions." Spoke Mario. "Where is the other two?"
"Probably in the other text boxes." Samus Said.
"They're still not opened yet?" Questioned the blue jackal.
"Still closed, the white on is the only one that's opened."
"Should we a guess the question?" The plumber suggested.
"I don't think we should, we should get R.O.B. down here to see if he can hack into it." Replied Snake. Immediately after, his phone began to ring, he looked at the caller I.D. "Speak of the devil." He commented before putting it on speaker.
"Yes, R.O.B."
"[We got another one!]"
"Another one, you mean another Newcomer?" Spoke the bounty hunter.
"[Yes, the main computer had detected one right now!]"
"Okay I guess we can solve the problem later." The solider said to himself before telling the robot "Alright R.O.B., just give us the location, and we'll get right on it."
"[About that, I discovered something shocking about the location of the Newcomer.]"
"Shocking? Oh, please don't tell me that the fighter is in Tox Falls!" Grunted an frustrated blue canine.
"[No! He or she is not in that radioactive graveyard, in fact they're not in the region, or on the planet for that matter.]"
"Not on the planet?!" Shouted a surprised Snake. "Are you trying to tell me to that Newbie is in Outer Space?!"
"Um…that's exactly what I'm trying to say."
"Pichu pi chu pi chu cu!" (Wait! Wouldn't the Smasher die from the lack of air in space!) Asked Pichu, who happened to overhear the conversation as he reading his favorite kid's book.
"That would be the case in other world, but its different here in the WOT." The vulpine explained to the yellow mouse. "You can actually breathe fine in Outer Space in this realm, so there is no worry for suffocation."
"Though there is still the problem of actually getting to the Newcomer." Butted in Lucario. "How far is the Newcomer from the planet?"
"[Too far.]" R.O.B. deadpanned. "I doubt you can rescue them quick enough with a simple space ship."
"If we a can't do it with a rocket, then how are we gonna get there!" Commented Mario.
"[There is better way to get to the deep recesses of space, it's unconventional, but it should work.]"
"We'll take it regardless, what do you have in mind." Snake stated without no doubt of his mind.
"[I'll explain later, meet me in the armory and I'll tell you what I have in mind.]"
"We'll be there in a second R.O.B., over and out." The aura master said before ending the call. "Ready for an adventure, old friend?"
"Always prepared for the occasion, and don't call me old!" Retorted Snake. "You know how I feel about that incident."
"Pic Pic huh u pi? Pichu!" (An adventure to space? I can't wait!) Exclaimed Pichu as he ran out the door.
"I suppose we should follow him, we'll have to plan out our trip if we're going to the outer heavens." Said Snake
"Indeed, it's been a long time since I have been in space, this will be interesting." Replied Lucario
"Well Mario, Fox, and I will try to see if we can crack the code, we'll be waiting your return when you get back." Spoke the bounty hunter.
"Sure thing Samus, See you later." Replied Snake as he and his blue companion chased after the little yellow mouse.
