II: Journey
The Smash Brothers were standing outside the Smash Mansion talking amongst themselves while Master Hand was getting directions to the circle. The discussion topic wasn't about Purpy or The D3G SP Ensemble, but about today's journey. Some were hoping that this walk wasn't going to be a long walk, others were complaining about being awake two hours earlier than normal, and others were constantly asking Master Hand if he was finished.
After ten minutes, Master Hand had found suitable directions for a congregation of their size. He was confident that he had found the right way to go, and he was about to tell these fighters that it was time to fly. Not literally, which is unfortunate.
"Attention, Smash Brothers!"
Like the night before, no one responded.
"DO Y'ALL WANNA DIE? LISTEN UP!"
The hand now had the attention of all the video game warriors.
"It's time to march, but I will answer any questions that you may have before we leave."
"Master Hand, how long are we going to have to walk?" asked Pichu.
"It's actually only ten miles away. If we're all walking at the same pace, we'll be there in an hour and forty minutes." replied the giant hand.
"When you go deeper into this property, will you go alone or with some of us?" asked K. Rool
"I will take four of you with me when I venture. Any other questions?"
After a few seconds of silence, Master Hand declared, "We will go now."
At that moment, the assembly of fighters started to advance toward the location of their unknown help. The SBs and Master Hand were excited to finally meet the mysterious creatures. These were the beings that could save them from possible death.
The video game combatants spent an hour and forty minutes thinking and talking about this. When that time expired, they had arrived at a deserted neighborhood. In front of them was a blue colored one bedroom house.
"Listen up! When I call your name, step forth! Mario, Link, Samus, and Kirby." called Master hand
The four went to Master Hand.
"Mario, I want you to knock on the door. If we don't get a response in two minutes and thirty seconds, Samus, I want you to shoot the door down. Do you understand?" whispered the gloved leader.
"Yes sir!"
Kirby set a timer while Mario knocked, and the five began their wait. Thirty seconds into it, Link said, "I hear music coming from in there."
They listened closely for this music, and they heard it coming from the back of the house. To them, it sounded like a violin, two violas, and a vibraphone. The violin was playing a beautiful and expressive solo. The other instruments were providing orchestration.
When the solo was finished, the timer started to beep. Samus shot down the door.
"Someone's broken down the door! Prepare for combat!"
The quintet of Smash Brothers started searching the house when suddenly...
"Freeze!"
Two male and two female humans wearing black and white bulletproof clothing were staring at the five.They had musical instruments in their hands that were pointed at the SBs.
"Umm... are you The D3G SP Ensemble?" asked an embarrassed Master Hand.
"Yes, what's it to you?"
"Well, have you heard of Purpy Draggo? He said you could assist us."
…
"Oh yeah! You must be the Smash Brothers. I apologize for being harsh."
"You are forgiven. We are not all of the Smash Bros., but we are members. I'm Master Hand, and these are Mario, Link, Samus, and Kirby. I have some questions for you all. Would you be willing to answer them?"
"Yes."
Master Hand proceeded to sit everyone down at the nearby dining table.
"So, D3G, tell us a bit about yourselves."
"My name is Nina Galvez, and I am thirteen years old and Puerto Rican. I have the ISTJ personality type, and I am a practical fact-minded person who's reliability is unable to be doubted. My main instrument is the violin, but I also play the flute, trumpet, and piano at an advanced level. I use my violin skills in the Vienna Youth Advanced Orchestra as the concertmaster."
"I'm Dassi Durr, a thirteen-year-old Jewish female with an ESFP personality type. I'm an energetic and enthusiastic individual, and life can't be boring when I'm around. I play the viola most of the time, but I also play the clarinet, French horn, and piano at an advanced level, and I am Lee's assistant in the viola section of the VYAO."
"Hi, I'm Lee Dawson, fourteen years old, English, and ESTP personality type. I'm a perceptive and energetic person and I very much enjoy being on the edge. Like Dassi, I also play the viola, clarinet, French horn, and piano, and in case you didn't pick it up from her introduction, I am the principal violist in the VYAO."
"My name is Kero GuiYing Dee. I am fourteen years old, and I'm half Chinese half Filipino. My personality type is the INTJ type, and I am known to be an imaginative and strategic thinker with plans for almost everything.
"I play twenty-four instruments, and these are: the piccolo, soprano, alto, tenor, and bass flutes, the piccolo, soprano, alto, tenor, and bass trumpets, orchestral, marching, and world percussion, the piano, the violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp, and the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass ukuleles. My main instrument is percussion, and I am the principal percussionist in VYAO.
"We are the D3G SP Ensemble. We play chamber music priavetly and publicly, and we are warriors when necessary."
"I see," said Mater Hand. "Now, can you tell me a little bit about how you combat opponents?"
"We have attachments that go on various spots on our instruments, which attach and detach from the instruments easily. These attachments are basically guns powered by electricity." began Nina.
"The attachments have transducers that convert sounds into electricity which powers the gun. When the attachment is on the instrument, the gun will shoot when the instrument is played. It will not shoot when the instrument is not played." continued Dassi.
"The ammo for these guns are small extremely hard rubber balls. The attachments can hold twenty of them at a time. We all wish that they could hold more, but our instruments would have too much stress onto them if they held more than twenty." explained Lee.
"We actually designed and built these attachments ourselves. One day, while we were playing music together, I had a theory that we could make our instruments into weapons by creating a small attachment that had the components of a gun inside. The trigger would be pulled by means of an electric pulling device. The electricity would, of course, be provided by the music.
"I created a design for these attachments, and then we built one. It needed a lot of experimenting on, but after awhile, we found the best way to construct it. We built thirty-nine more of the perfected attachments." concluded Kero.
"That sounds amazing. I always like it when I meet fighters with unique fighting methods. Where do you store your instruments?" asked Master Hand
"Inside our jackets," replied Lee.
"There are little data chips that are attached to the inside of our jackets. When we press the button that is on top of the chip, the chip forms into an instrument. After you are done playing the instrument, you press the same button to turn it back into a chip." described Dassi.
"I will demonstrate that for you," said Nina.
She pressed a button on the right side of her violin, and it turned into a chip. She opened her jacket, put the chip back in a slot, and took out another one labeled "Flute". Then, she pressed that very button, and a flute formed in her hands. She played a short melody, then she put it back in its chip form and put the chip back in her jacket.
"The attachments are already attached to the instruments when they go from chip form to instrument form. If we don't need the attachments, we take them off and place them in a slot in our belts. The instrument will not go back into chip form unless the attachments are back on the instrument." added Dassi.
"Impressive," stated the Hand. "Now, the reason that we came to see you is to request your help."
"I see. What do you want our help for?" asked Lee?
"Well, Purpy Draggo threatened us with war. He basically said that you were our only chance of beating him." replied Master Hand.
"Interesting. However, we don't really know you. This means that we don't fully trust you." stated Lee.
"Yeah, what he said." said Nina in agreement.
"This could be a trap, and you could do something horrible to us." said Dassi.
"We've been kidnapped and endangered once. We don't need to be again." declared Kero.
"Well then. Shall I show you his threat letter?" asked Master Hand.
"Please do." replied Kero.
The gloved giant pulled out the letter. He had decided to take it with him, thinking that it might be useful. It was quite useful.
When the letter was presented, four pairs of eyes were on the sheet of paper. Kero read it aloud, and his teammates read along. After they had finished reading it, they thought to themselves. Breaking the silence, Lee said, "I recognize that symbol. I think I saw it while Draggo was kidnapping us, but the memory is extremely fuzzy."
"So did I." stated Dassi and Nina in unison.
Seconds later, Kero asked, "Mr. Hand, you said that the five of you aren't all of the {Smash Bros.}. Are the rest of them with you?"
"Yes. I'll let you see them." answered Master Hand.
Master Hand took Kero outside to see the giant mass of warriors. The four Smash Bros. and Kero's friends followed them.
"Everyone who is ten years or younger, please come forward!" commanded Kero.
Red, Isabelle, Bowser Jr., Larry, Morton, Pichu, the Ice Climbers, Young Link, and Mega Man came forward.
"Hello, children, I'm Kero GuiYing Dee. Is your organization actually in danger, or is Master Hand trying to do something horrible to my friends and I?"
Overlapping remarks of "yes we are in danger, and Master Hand is not trying to do something bad to you" followed the question.
"Mr. Hand, please give us a moment." requested Kero.
The tiny chamber ensemble walked thirty feet away from the Smash Bros. and formed a small circle together. They started having a conversation with each other about whether or not they should actually go with all these people. They talked about the outcome of going with them, and they talked about the outcome of not going with them.
After a solid four minutes of discussion, they returned to the hand and handed him a notecard and a pen.
"If you can sign this, we will go with you. Give it back to us when you're done." said all of the members of D3G.
Master Hand looked at the card which read,
I promise to deliver The D3G SP Ensemble to their homes when this war is finished
Sign here: _
He signed it and gave it back to the quartet, who read over it as soon as they got it.
"Master Hand, Smash Bros., we... will go with you." said D3G in unison.
Cheers from the rest of the giant assembly of warriors followed this statement, and Master Hand thanked them for their willingness to go. Now, it was time to get home and get to work.
Get to work on ensuring victory in the battle...
