Super Smash Bros adventures chapter 60
The final battle has finally ended. Master and Crazy Hand are gone after Mario defeated their final form, Master Core. The Smashers all got back up after Dark Mario beat them. "What happened?" wonders Link, looking around.
"Did we win?" wonders Marth.
The Smashers look around and no sign of Master and Crazy are found. "Looks like they're gone." happily says Robin.
"That means, we won, Mario must've beat them!" announces Little Mac.
The Smashers all cheer for their victory. Smashers from left and right greet each other with hugs, high-fives, group hugs, and kisses for couples. Palutena looks around for Mario and spotted him down on the floor. She runs to him in excitement. "Hey, Mario, you did it!" she happily says. "We can go home now."
No response was made from Mario. He's just laid down on the ground and not even a twitch on his body was made. "Mario, get up!" says Palutena, patting his body.
No response was made still. Palutena puts her head on Mario's chest to listen to his heart. After trying to listen, there wasn't a heartbeat. Palutena turns really worried. "Everyone, Mario's heart is not beating!"
Everyone stops turning and turns shocked after what Palutena said. "What did you say?" worryingly asks Peach, running to them.
"Mario's heart is not beating." sadly says Palutena.
Peach puts her hand on her mouth and tears come out. Luigi then comes up to them. "Hey Bro, get up!" says Luigi, shaking Mario by the shoulder.
No response was made still. Luigi stops shaking and tears come out of his eyes. "I can't believe it."
"We can't give up yet!" says . "We have to take him back to the Smash mansion and I'll treat him."
"We won't know if Mario's gone until we try and treat him." says Bowser.
So Bowser grabs Mario and they all went back to the Smash mansion. As they arrived, Bowser and rush to the Nurse's Office. Bowser places him on a bed and looks for One-Up Mushrooms to make medicine. "Bowser, please wait outside so I can treat him." says .
Bowser follows 's instructions and goes out. blends all the One-Up Mushrooms he has and makes a Shroom Shake. "This Shroom Shake has over one hundred One-Up Mushrooms in it. Hope this works."
opens Mario's mouth and pour the medicine. "Now let's see if it works."
After waiting for thirty minutes, nothing happened to Mario. The medicine didn't work and is in shock. He goes out to tell everyone. "Is Mario ok?" worryingly asks Link.
"Did you heal him?" worryingly asks Pit.
No response was made from , except of a shocked face. He takes off his Head Mirror. "I'm sorry, everyone, Mario's gone."
After 's announcement, almost all the Smasher's eyes turn teary and some Smashers like the villains feel sadness. "This can't be." sadly says Kirby.
"Mario survived these kind of situations before." sadly says Pikachu.
"My Brother is gone!" sadly cries Luigi.
All the Smashers that cried cry harder for Mario's loss. "I can't accept this! How am I supposed to tell him how I feel now?" sadly says Palutena, as she cries harder.
"Mario has done a lot for us." says Sakurai, who just arrived. "The best thing for us to do is to pay our respects by making a Grave. I know it's hard to see Mario like this, but it'll make him happy."
The Smashers tries to stop crying and nods in agreement. "Even though Mario's gone, he'll always be watching us." sadly says Palutena.
Even though it's a sad day for them, the Smashers all go out to get a Grave ready for the fallen Hero.
In the afterworld, Mario has opened his eyes and looks around. All he can see is clouds around him. "Where am I? Where is everyone?"
Mario looks down the clouds and sees nothing. He jumps off the cloud, but responded back. "I can't get down from here."
"Of course you can't."
Mario looks behind him and sees Master and Crazy Hand. "You two!" angrily says Mario, getting into his fighting stance.
"Whoa chill, Mario." says Crazy Hand. "We just want to talk."
"You two must be tricking me so I can let my guard down." angrily says Mario. "I won't let you beat me."
Mario jumps to them and throws a Punch and Master Hand. Suddenly, Mario's attack went through Master Hand. "What the?" wonders Mario.
Mario then tries throwing Fireballs from his hands, but it won't come out. "My Fireballs aren't working either. What is this place?"
"Look, Mario, if you stop attacking us, we'll tell you where we are." says Master Hand.
Mario doesn't really want to do it, but it's the best choice for him to know more about where they're. "Ok, tell me where we at and how come I can't hit you and use my Fireballs."
"We're in Heaven, Mario." says Crazy Hand. "So no attacks can't hit us and you can't use your powers here."
Mario's face turns shocked. "Heaven? You mean…."
"Yes, Mario, we're dead." says Master Hand.
Mario turns even more shocked and sits down on the cloud. "So this is why I can't get out of here. I'm already dead."
"It took you a whole month just to wake up." says Master Hand.
Mario's eyes widen. "A- a whole month!?"
"Yeah, and we're sorry for everything that happened." Crazy Hand apologizes.
"We were thinking about all the bad things we've done with you and your friends for a long time." says Master Hand. "We just learned that we wanted to spend with you guys more and not do evil deeds. If we learned this a long time ago, then all those wars we made and you being dead wouldn't have happened."
"You don't have to accept our apology, we just wanted to tell you how we feel." says Crazy Hand.
It's hard for Mario to forgive their apology after everything they've done, but he knows that they really mean it from their tone. Mario smiles at them and gets up in his feet. "I forgive you two. If you just wanted to hangout with us, then you could've just asked."
"I'm glad that you're not mad at us anymore." says Master Hand. "We have an offer for you."
"An offer?" wonders Mario.
"Our offer is to revive you back." says Crazy Hand.
Mario's face turns really surprised of the offer, but turns sad afterwards. "We want to pay you back for defeating us in all of our events and for hurting you and all your friends. Do you accept?" asks Master Hand.
Mario turns quiet for a while until he opens his mouth. "I'm sorry, but I don't deserve it."
Master and Crazy Hand turns surprised. "You're just letting this once of a lifetime deal going to waste?" surprisingly asks Crazy Hand.
"That's right." replies Mario. "I don't deserve to be revived after everything I've done to them."
"But it's our fault for controlling over you." says Master Hand. "Your friends will be happy."
"Why would they be happy?" wonders Mario. "I hurt everyone of them and almost killed them. I heard all the cries from hurting them and all the wounds I gave to them. I even almost killed the one I love. A man like me doesn't deserve to see them face-to-face. It's best for me just to wait here until they go to Heaven and I can apologize to them."
"Would you even stay here if all your friends are miserable after you died?" asks Crazy Hand.
Mario turns his head to Master and Crazy Hand. "After you died, your friends turned miserable." says Master Hand. "They do things that helps them to not forget you, like doing your favorite activities and eating your favorite food."
"While doing that, it made them sad by just remembering you." says Crazy Hand. "All they do is wishing you to come back so the Smash mansion will be complete again."
"The one who's really sad is not just your Brother, but also the Goddess." says Master Hand.
"You mean, Palutena?" surprisingly asks Mario. "But I almost took her to you two so we can use her power to take over all the Worlds."
"She cried every night in her room, just wishing you to come back. She even looked at all the pictures you took together to remind her of you, the man she loved." says Master Hand.
"If you still don't believe us, then take a look of this." says Crazy Hand.
Master and Crazy Hand create a vision cloud that shows what happened a month ago. Mario hesitates briefly, than looks. The scene before his eyes is a solemn one. All of the Smashers are in black clothes and Mario's grave is in front of the Smash mansion. At the funeral, many tears are shed as Smashers deliver their goodbyes and wishes to the deceased plumber. Bowser is currently at the front of the gathering. "Mario and I may have never gotten along so well, but we're friends. Mario is the type of guy who will always save Princess Peach, and someone who helps anyone… Even they're enemies." He tries to hide his emotion. "We had a long history, but I… didn't expect it to end. Mario, even though we may be enemies, we will always be friends."
There is a collective sigh in the room as everyone is moved by Bowser's words. The Koopa King sits down in his seat, wiping a tear from his eye, though he blames it on the pollen in the air.
Mario was surprised at what Bowser has said. "Even your enemy misses you." says Crazy Hand.
"I… know." says Mario. "I didn't think I hear something good from him."
After hearing more Smashers speak, Palutena addresses the gathering with her feelings. "Being a goddess, I never thought how short and fragile life can be… From the day I first met Mario, I knew we'd be friends. We've gone to a lot of missions together, we've hang out on our day offs and after missions, and he's the one who helped me come back to the mansion when I felt like I didn't belong here." says Palutena as tears stream down her cheeks. "No matter where Mario is, he will always be watching over us. Mario is not just a Smasher he's a hero. Mario, if you hear our speeches from all of us I hope you like them and we'll miss you. Don't forget that we won't forget you and everything you've done for us to keep us safe. I know that I said this to you already, but don't forget I love you, Mario." she smiles up to the sky.
Palutena wipes the tears away from her eyes and sits down again. "Palutena, I almost forgot how much you think of me." sadly says Mario.
"Now you know how they felt. They want you to come back." says Master Hand.
"So what's your choice now? Do you want to stay here or should we revive you?" asks Crazy Hand.
Mario, who once thought his friends would be angry with him, sees things from their eyes now and grins with happiness and relief. "Please revive me!" Mario replies. "I don't want my friends to be miserable anymore. I want to see them again and finally tell Palutena I love her."
"That's a better answer." says Master Hand. He looks to Crazy Hand, who nods.
"This may take a while, but we'll have you back among the Smashers good as new." says Crazy Hand, circling in the air once with giddiness.
"Oh take your time." says Mario, and suddenly, the time away from his friends becomes more enjoyable. He is going back to them, after all.
Back at the Smash mansion, Link and Pit slump against the wall, out of breath.
"Catching Cuccos again is hard work without Mario." says Link.
"I miss Mario." says Pit. "We would've struggled doing this together."
Link nods. "How's Palutena handling all this?" he asks.
"Don't know," says Pit. "Same as everyone else, I guess. We should go find her."
"I have a feeling I know where she'll be…" Link says.
Link leads Pit to the front of the mansion, where Palutena is gazing at the stars by herself. "Mario…."
"…Lady Palutena?" Pit says softly.
Palutena turns to them. "Oh Pit, Link, I didn't know you were here." replied Palutena.
"We just got back from a mission." says Link.
"What are you doing here by yourself?" ask Pit, stepping up next to her.
"This is where Mario always went when he wanted to feel the nice breeze. I always found him here and we'd have a nice chat." says Palutena.
"The breeze does feel nice." says Link. "And the stars are pretty bright, too."
"A month has passed since Mario saved us. I wish that I can see him again." sadly says Palutena. Link and Pit nod solemnly. They don't know what else to say, so they listen. "When Master and Crazy Hand attacked, they wanted my power, but now I'd give every drop of it if it would mean bringing Mario back."
"I'm sure he wants to see us again, too." Pit says. "Mario fought to have us keep living."
"If Mario was still alive then we would've started dating…" Palutena says. A tear rolls down her cheek and lands on the grass below.
"Don't cry, Lady Palutena. I'm sure you'll find someone else one day." says Pit.
Palutena wipes away her tears. "I always told Mario to forget about Peach and move on." she says resolutely. "And now it's my turn... It'll be hard for me to move on from him though."
"Lets go find Peach and the others. Maybe they can help you cheer up." says Link. Palutena nods, and the three of them head back inside.
What seem like days later, Master and Crazy Hand have conjured a portal. "Ah, not as much power as we used to have…"
Mario looks at them, and a question that has been bugging him since he woke in the flowery place comes to mind, and now he finally has the courage to ask it. "Why are you doing this? You're… helping me…"
Master and Crazy Hand turn to each other. "Well… It may be that we had given you so much Dark Energy that it included the darkness inside us…" he turned to his brother. "I feel lighter, don't you?"
"Yes! Yes! So much lighter and brighter!" Crazy cried.
"It's also like you said before, we're friends now." says Master Hand, giving a thumb up.
Mario smiles as he realizes that the darkness in the hands is gone. Now they won't terrorize his friends anymore! "Thanks for making this for me, guys." says Mario.
"It's no problem. This is what you get for beating the both of us and saving the Smash world." says Master Hand.
"Now get back there and confess to Palutena." says Crazy Hand.
Mario smiles, than frowns. "I don't know if I should confess to Palutena anymore. I've been dead for over a month and I almost killed her. Do you two think she still in love with me?"
"It's best to find out. We'll be watching you and everyone else here." replied Master Hand.
Mario smiles and nods. "I'll do it." Mario shows his fist to Master and Crazy Hand, and they fist-bump, which ends up knocking Mario down. Mario gets up and jumps into the Smash portal, on his way back to the real world. He looks around and realizes he's in front of the Smash mansion, his home away from home. After pinching himself to make sure this is real, Mario lets out an excited cheer. "I'm back! Woo-hoo!"
Inside the mansion, Robin and Lucina are reading in the living room. Robin looks up from his magic tome with a start. "Did you hear that?"
"It sounded like Mario." replies Lucina.
Robin nods and places a hand to his chin. "You don't think…"
Lucina nods. "Honestly, it sounds too real to be an illusion or a trick."
The two swordsmen get up and go investigate. They see a lone figure standing on the lawn out front and gasp in shock. "Mario!" Both of them cry out in astonishment.
Robin and Lucina's shout attracts a few other Smashers.
"What's all the noise about?" Villager asks.
"It sounds like something to do with Mario." Peach says.
"Let's check it out." Mega-Man replies, and they all head to the front.
Many other Smashers join them, and soon, a crowd is gathered at the front, staring in shock at the red plumber. They're not quite sure what to do. Is this real? Is this some kind of ghost? What happened? "Uh… hi…" Mario says, waving weakly to everyone. He is just as shocked and pleased to see the Smashers, but doesn't quite know what to make of all the staring.
"Mario? Is that really you?" asks Luigi.
"Yeah. It's me, bro." Mario says, offering a small smile.
Luigi, Link, and Pit are the first to rush forward to greet their friend. Most of the Smashers have tears in their eyes and run to Mario in twos and threes. "Mario!" they happily call out, and jump on him.
"Ow! Ow! I can't get up!" Mario splutters.
"We missed you, Mario!" happily says Peach, wiping off some tears from her eyes.
"I missed you guys too." Mario responds, still trying to free himself from the throng of Smashers.
"We thought you were gone forever." sadly says Kirby.
"I know. It's thanks to Master and Crazy Hand that I was able to come back." says Mario.
Everyone who jumped on Mario decides to give him some space. Mario dusts himself off, looks up, and finds Palutena who's in tears of joy. "I'm back, Palutena." Mario says uncertainly.
Palutena's expression turns from joyful to anger. She marches up to Mario and, to everyone's shock, punches him in the head.
"Ow! What was that f-?"
Palutena pulls Mario close and gives him a big squeeze. "I missed you so much, Mario!" says Palutena as more tears fall her eyes.
Mario's jaw drops, but then he smiles and hugs her back. "Sorry… about what I did before." he says.
"Mario, you don't have to apologize. You saved the entire Smash world." says Luigi.
"It's good to have you back, Mario." says Sakurai.
"Thanks. I'm glad you're not mad at me from… before." says Mario, glancing up at the others.
"Mario, remember what you were suppose to say to me before?" asks Palutena.
"Hm? Oh!" Mario then remembers. "Yes I do." He stares into Palutena's green eyes, wondering how to say all the feelings that seem to be riding a merry-go-round in his head. How can he express all of them?
He looks around, hoping nothing will interrupt him. He has a feeling that this time, nothing will. Mario takes a deep breath… and stops. After everything they've been through, he knows that mere words can't express what he feels for the amazing goddess standing in front of him. Nothing else needs to be said. However, four words that he wants to say float like clouds to the front of his mind. He takes her hands in his and looks her in the eyes. "Palutena… I love you."
Palutena smiles at Mario as she finally hears the words she has hoped to hear from him for so long, the words she thought she'd never hear. "I love you too, Mario." happily says Palutena.
She hugs him again and pulls him close, and then their lips brush against each other in a tender kiss. The plumber and the goddess don't even care that everyone is watching them anymore. Not even the Smashers wild cheering can disturb their happiness. Mario and Palutena are together at last. "Good job, Mario!" cheered Link.
"That's my bro right there." cheered Luigi, as he wipes some tears away from his eyes.
The crowd cheer louder, the Villains even smile and clap for the new couple. Peach makes the biggest smile, seeing her first true love found someone that can take care of him. "I'm so happy for you, Mario." she happily says.
Mario and Palutena look at each other and smile. "I'm glad that I'm back again." says Mario.
"Me too, Mario." happily says Palutena, as they go in for another passionate kiss.
"Yeah, now I can I can finally have a Dad!" cheered Pit.
The cheering stops, Mario and Palutena stop also, and they all look at Pit. "It's too soon for them to marry though." says Dark Pit.
"I can wait." says Pit.
Everyone all laugh of Pit's silliness. "Now that we have Mario back, let's celebrate!" announces Sakurai.
The Smasher head back to the mansion to set up for the feast. Mario looks up in the sky and smiles. "Thank you."
"What are you smiling at, Mario?" asks Palutena.
"Oh nothing." says Mario. "Let's go join everyone else."
Palutena smiles, holds hands with Mario, and walks back to the mansion. Master and Crazy Hand are happy that Mario is together with Palutena. "I knew this would happen." says Master Hand.
"I love happy endings." says Crazy Hand.
"I really do wonder when they'll get married though." wonders Master Hand.
"I hope it comes soon." says Crazy Hand, holding his excitement.
