Chapter 2
"Where is Mario? Fox needs him!" Lucina along with the other three busted into the enormous room subdivided into smaller spaces.
Mario having blankly stared at a desk moved into motion as Chrom and Robin heaved the furry smasher onto the bed wincing quietly as they apologized while Corrin gave the report.
"Wolf turned on us, he's been doing all this. Also Rosalina, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Falco are dead."
"Wolf…" 'So many… he's not that powerful though and we never started dinner so the food couldn't have been laced… something is fishy about this…' "Alright but we still need to get a hold of everyone and get a clear picture, we'll sweep the mansion."
"Has anyones seen my Pokémon!?" Jason burst in with a group, eyes sweeping the room.
"What happened to your Pokémon?" MH asked though the glove creature had a suspicion.
"They vanished!"
"Just like every single pokeball in here." 'This can't be all Wolf…' "I haven't seen yours nor the others."
"Mewtwo was involved too. It had poke balls with it and was working with Wolf. Rosalina managed to finish it with a black hole." Fox gritted his teeth given pain killers as Mario set to fix his leg.
"What are you saying!?" Jason exclaimed his heart pounding as the truth crept in like ice forming in his blood with the denial a burning yet fading fire.
"The black hole took the poke balls too by accident and Mewtwo was killing the Pokémon…"
"Maybe you miscounted… maybe they weren't all there…" Jason muttered, eyes glued to the floor. They couldn't be dead, could they? Why would Mewtwo suddenly flip after having changed? The chaos didn't allow much for a straight thought as anger and grief mixed into a toxic cocktail, hope bashed down by the echo of the words beating down again and again with his heart bleeding.
"Fox needs to rest now." Mario announced having finished, Simon and Richter volunteering to move him into a quiet corner with curtains drawn shut. "I'll help with the sweep of the mansion."
"Wait, we might need to you here again." MH floated in the way.
"Master Hand… I need this…" MH remained silent but gave way slowly with a sigh.
"I know Wolf and Mewtwo have been confirmed as culprits but don't go alone. The mansion received structural damage."
"Thanks." Fox muttered bed moved to a new spot further away from all the talking and Simon put an extra blanket on the side in case the fighter wanted it, Richter already back with the others.
"No problem." Simon replied awkwardly giving a pat on the shoulder as Fox looked quite depressed with his eyes off in their own little world before closing as he laid on his back in the bed with the smashed leg in a cast. The other smashers left joining the others to find Mario about to leave with Banjo Kazooie , Game&Watch, Olimar and Yoshi leaving with the man, Simon joining them. Jason was leaning against the wall, fists in pockets with the knuckles white, head dipped to the floor as he tried to collect himself.
"I'm coming too."
"I think the group is big enough Jason."
"I'm going too!" The trainer snapped at Master Hand. "I'm going to look for them…"
"Jason…"
"Hey wait kid, I'll help you look. You'll be okay with that right Master Hand?" Richter stepped in, MH sighed but agreeing knowing he had to let Jason do this to come face to face with the ugly truth with the last bit of denial out of the window. Though MH still had a plan, he wasn't sure how it would work with black holes though it technically should. But feeling uncertain if this was over, the creature didn't dare play the card until they were certain.
"hEy Bro! AnYThing I can DO?"
"Take Dark Samus with you and ensure that all cameras are working or at least have those not wrecked going."
"What are we looking for Mario?" Simon asked, the whole group wondering what they even chased. The biggest possible culprits were dead and Dark Samus had been with Master Hand the entire time along with him and a few other smashers.
"Bowser…" Game&Watch suddenly beeped at Mario's answer while Olimar asked quietly if he'd really do it. He did seem to genuinely care Peach sometimes and everyone here knew that Peach's death hurt Mario worse than the others. "No… but if he really cared for Peach… he'll be searching like me and maybe… he already found who it is…" The group slowed down a storage room, the mansion having been shuffled around on the inside with the influx of smasher not to mention the many repairs the building has had changing up the layout. Mario stopped, glancing over the room and suggested looking in every corner as the room provided a great deal of hiding spots as the smashers stepped apart. Yoshi screamed as Mario choked after two steps forward, tip of Simon's chain weapon through his chest tainting his clothing red quicker as the tip receded again yanked out and all eyes turned to Simon already lashing out mortally wounding Banjo and Kazooie before they could react, the pair crawling aside as their throats sputtered drowning on their own blood. Olimar shivered on the spot, frozen in fear as Simon smirked stepping closer having been in the back of the group. Game&Watch and Yoshi charged forward.
Richter glanced to Jason as the two silently walked along, the silence shattered by Yoshi's distant scream. Both bolted forward but Richter grabbed Jason's wrist. "What are you doing!?"
"You don't have a weapon." Richter pointed out.
"I-" Jason bit his lip glancing away. He did always rely on his Pokémon to especially when it came to more than simple punch brawl between people and they had no idea what they were up against. "Then lend me one of yours."
Yoshi glanced up and tried to bolt but too late as the boomerang slammed into him the split moment he had up to see the heavy boxed getting tipped and tumbled with chain weapon, Game&Watch unwittingly contributing by slamming Simon back adding force to the yank. Blood seeped out on the floor after sickening slow crunching noise with blood gurgling choking cries underneath.
"OkAY dokEY! TrY thE CAmEraS!"
"I'll check over here, you check over there." Jason nodded, the two splitting way to check the room on either side and the teen swallowed almost tripping over his own legs as the approached the middle staggering back at the sight. Blood blotted the floor, Banjo & Kazooie, Game&Watch and a Yoshi's tail tip sticking out from under boxes all dead on the ground with Mario hanging from the ceiling on the ceiling strangled and kicked chair underneath the dead man surrounded by the lifeless bodies of the other smashers. Jason whipped around. "Richter!"
"And cameras!"
"SoME aRe BuSTed!"
"I know Crazy, you have examined. The room fell deathly silent as the scene upon scene showed though the toll wasn't anything new except the newly dead quartet in a storage room. "Simon and Olimar are missing…"
"Master Hand! Fox is dead!" Chrom exclaimed just having checked on the fellow smasher.
"What!?" 'This is bad but we still have an option left… Crazy, are Zelda and Link alive?' Ganondorf was right there with them having joined after the lockdown and not left since then which also put him in the partially like Dark Samus.
'YePpERs!'
The other smashers followed MH to the bed where a limp dead Fox laid with no additional wounds visible. Did a shatter leg really bring him down? Fox McCloud seemed stronger than that and Mario had taken care of it.
"Simon?" Richter stepped in to see Simon and a cornered Olimar facing off, a pikmin flung at the taller man's face ripped off and tossed away. Panting slightly and sporting wound s Simon glanced over his shoulder to Richter.
"Richter… Olimar lost his mind…"
"You murdered them all! He's trying to frame me!"
Richter glanced back and forth between the two. Unlike Olimar, Richter knew Simon but it wouldn't be fair to kick Olimar to the curb for that.
"Richter, Mario and the others are dead!" Jason almost fell rushing around the corner coming to a skidding stop beside the guy.
"Jason, which wounds did they have?"
"Uh-"
"Now!" Richter demanded, Simon narrowing his eyes about to turn as more pikmin jumped and Olimar scared but defiantly glared at him.
"Hanging, slashing and stabs!" Jason replied, Richter dashing forward but pelted with two pikmin Simon had thrown off the other crying out in death. Richter stumbled, the boomerang hitting instead of Simon who it was intended for and the blonde chain wielder lunged choking Richter swaying from the blow, the position and constant turning not leaving Jason room to aim and any pikmin ended up caught up between both fighters on hitting Richter instead. Olimar quickly dashed out of the corner and tried to pull Jason along refusing to budge struggling against a wounded Simon because of him.
Richter's hands slid down, the limp body kicked down and slashed. "Where are my Pokémon?" Jason snarled having been unable to land hit and refusing to listen to Olimar.
"Pokémon… those things in the balls… I don't know…" Simon chuckled staggering closer as his body bled. "But what I do know… is that I murdered them… and enjoyed it… every last one of them here… You know ironically, I did it with a Pokémon!" The man laughed, Jason's eyes narrowing as he lunched forward to punch the guy in the face but Olimar shoved him causing him to fall sideways so the teen would stop. The man in space suit received the glare now instead and a snarl questioning what he was doing. Simon smirked, the two fighting and pushed forward, chain rattling a deadly hymn as it lashed out, a pikmin torn to pieces instead of Jason faces and the chain quickly got whipped out again, slashing Olimar's suit wrapping around the leg as the man urged the teen up staggering backwards yelling for the boy to run. Jason slowly but finally turned and ran with his heart pounding in his chest while Simon yanked Olimar to him. Jason slowed for a single breath as he heard a thud, part of him wanting to check if Simon was the one who had lost and glance over his shoulder confirmed it as Olimar came out of the room running after him. Jason smiled in relief slowing down and starting to turn but two pikmin left screamed wildly gesturing at him one having hitched a ride on his leg without the teen even noticing while the other one was running from Olimar. Jason turned around again and ran as fast as he could, his head spinning with thoughts like a deafening screaming mess. Jason tried to slow to slow down but couldn't as Marth and co dashed from around the corner, the trainer teen bowling over the teen prince.
"I'm so sorry."
"Have you seen the intruder?" Samus asked, all heads following Jason's gaze as a voice called.
"Hey Jason… why are you running?" Olimar smiled coming closer and the pikmin having tightly held on to the trainer's leg shivered in fear wailing out in fear at the sight of Olimar.
"Oh hey Olimar, have you seen Roy?" Marth asked, Jason suddenly awkwardly trying to stop him from talking though Marth was taller than him as the two got to their feet and Zelda glanced at him questioningly though everyone noticed the pikmin's unusual fear and Jason looked scared too.
"No, sorry about that Marth."
'Zelda, get out of there with Link. It's imperative that you with Ganondorf are okay, get to the medical bay.'
"That's not Olimar!" Jason exclaimed, Olimar tilting his head.
"Why would you say that? I know it's chaos but finger pointing usually just creates more you know?"
"Didn't know there are pikmin that don't like you especially since today." Marth coolly pointed out.
"Simon went crazy and after that Olimar went nuts too!" Jason added. Zelda glanced to Link but couldn't bring herself to run off like MH had ordered. Snake let the gun audibly load, a warning to Olimar as everyone took a step back with their weapons poised.
"You know I always knew I'm the butt of the joke and get picked on but this is ridiculous. If I was 'crazy wouldn't I have already tried to attack?" Olimar hung his head. "Fine if everyone feels so threatened by me you can tie me up and lock me away till is over." The man in suit turned around offering his hands behind his head and the group glanced at each as if to decide on what to do. Ike took off his bandana and approached only to have Jason suddenly cling to his arm inches away from the smaller smasher.
"Wait!"
"Jason, back off." Snake sighed. Ike pushed forward, Jason rather hapless at being weight and the teen quickly grabbed the cape tossing it over Ike's arm awkwardly almost falling forward clinging to the other male just as Olimar whipped around springing into action and reached out with his hand where the suit was ripped exposing skin reaching for Ike's arm. The cloth of the cape managed to get between, Olimar's partially exposed hand on the cloth as the room froze. Jason fumbled, bashing the weapon from Richter onto the helmet as Ike stumbled back with him, Olimar hanging his head with the helmet cracked.
"You know? Was I careless?" Olimar tilted his head, single shard having caused a cut on his forehead, the line of blood rolling down to his smile.
"How else could you be in different bodies? You have to have some way to jump around! And going through Olimar and having two very specific spots torn on the suit is suspicious. Plus in the fight with Richter I saw you reach from him too but you stopped when he got too wounded."
"Possession can happen in many ways." Zelda agreed, speaking up and Ike had moved back, Jason having let go as the mercenary moved a little in of Marth.
Olimar suddenly clapped. "You were halfway guessing weren't you? So now you all have to die on the spot for my secret to stay. But tormenting is so much more fun, you know there are some really strong friendships here. But tell me Jason, why are you so sure there is only one of me?" Their eyes widened and narrowed, Olimar's smile pulling into a grin.
"Enough fucking talking!" Samus growled, gun pointing point blank at Olimar but Zelda shook her head at her.
'We have to try to save him.' Samus scoffed but stepped forward glaring at Olimar.
"Not going to shoot me huh?" Olimar tried to dash past lunging into the group with an outstretched hand sending them scattering and tripping having stood closer together but everyone managed to out sped him and Sheik's chained quickly wrapped around him restraining him long. Samus gave a paralyzing shot, sheik quickly letting of the chain and MH came rushing to the scene with Chrom and Lucina while Crazy was ordered to stay back. With ropes brought, Sheik took back her chain and Samus and Snake handled Olimar as Snake had only his face exposed.
"Hey… " Marth awkwardly glanced away wanting to comfort his friend but no clue what to say, Jason sitting against the wall in the bay with his face buried in his legs with his arms tightly wrapped around them.
"How… how do you keep going after losing friends like that?"
"Uh… You have to…No matter how much it hurts… Because if you give up, the bad guys win."
"All smug in there that bastard…" Samus snarled, the thick door between them and Olimar contained in the room tied to a chair. A padlock sat next to the door locking the door and only MH knew the code for safety.
"Hey, we're all going to discuss a plan." Snake said walking up to her Marth and Pichu as no one was left alone anymore and Roy and Bowser had been found and teleported to the others by Crazy any last stragglers picked up. Samus stopped leaning on the wall and marched ahead, Marth and Snake following while Pichu stopped for moment turning around and going back trying to hop up to look through the thick window allowing sight into the room next to padlock and door. Talk about the monster was buzzing and Pichu hadn't seen it yet though the Pokémon was quite glad it didn't have a gory encounter. With a huff, its stubby arms clung to the minimal ledge, Olimar hanging his head but the man suddenly jerked it up with smirk freaking Pichu out letting out a frying shock in fright and scurrying away after tumbling down.
"Any ideas on how to save Olimar?" MH started.
"Well an exorcism or freeing spell should work for a possession." Zelda pointed out.
"We'll definitely try that."
"That would be great if it's that easy but what if it's a biological invasion? For all we know we're dealing with some tiny organism that, with the whole touch thing, can slip through at skin cells like a knife through butter." Samus pointed out.
"Out of all of us, you, Snake, Crazy, I and Dark Samus know the most about this kind of stuff so we'll look into that while Zelda, Ganondorf and Link work on the magical solution.
Olimar smirked stepping out of the room and leaving the bay behind heading upstairs.
"Crazy, go check on Olimar."
"oKaY!"
"What a day…"
"OliMar GoNE!"
"You're ba- WHAT!?" The room fell silent as everyone with MH rushed to the room finding the door ajar and the floating love swiveled around. Had the monster already switched? Were there multiple ones? The footage was not completely conclusive from what they got. Simon was one to have been by Fox but yet Olimar was out and he couldn't have gotten out without help. The tension thickened. "Someone here helped Olimar." But he had seen them all there, how could no one notice? Then again, they didn't know their attack or attackers well at all.
"HeY BrO! ThE lock is BusTed!" Before anyone else could speak, Pichu shot forward with cry, shaking as the Pokémon realized that the shock released upon being scared had caused the damage. Pichu relentlessly sobbed and squeaked trying to apologize and Incineroar tried to explain but couldn't speak words either. Jason stepped forward kneeling down to the yellow creature.
"Did you do this Pichu?" Pichu sniffed and nodded. "Did you do it on purpose?"
"Pi!" Pichu vigorously shook the head still crying and sobbing.
"Then why?" Pichu glancing up for help eying the busted door before hopping forward and creating the scene but keeping the managing to keep the shock to a minimum before trying to point at the pad over and over again. "Pichu must have looked inside and Olimar scared him."
"That's not unlikely and Pichu is very easily scared." Zelda sighed.
"Still, what about the chair?" Chrom pointed out.
"Maybe he hid a tool or blade in his suit." Lucina suggested.
"Either way, next time full body check and we have to stop this thing roaming around here. Groups of no less than five, Pichu and Dark Samus you stay with us. Everyone carry these and press the button as soon as anything happens and I mean anything even if you think you spotted something but aren't sure and if you do, move to camera spots. And don't let any skin to skin contact happen. Olimar has last been sighted going upstairs to the bedrooms, move out." The smashers nodded dispersing in groups, friends immediately lumping together while Ganondorf was ordered to go with Link and Zelda no matter what.
Nana's pet rabbit snarled clacking its teeth together as the hand reached in with glee cornering the terrified animal lashing out with the sharp teeth biting the hand.
"He left all the doors open, even though we can clearly see which one he entered…"
"Probably to confuse the others, he doesn't know about us being able to communicate I hope. Bastard!" Olimar smirked into the multiple cameras having barged into the kids' rooms and come out with a slingshot shooting out the cameras with paint balls and if they didn't break they definitely got splattered enough to cause a problem. "Everyone, Olimar obstructed the cameras by the bedrooms. Team A clean up any unbroken ones."
"Why haven't you called in help?" Bowser suddenly growled from behind having ditched his group.
"Bowser what did I say about walking around alone?"
"Answer!"
"And call who Bowser to help the smashers of all people? We are the strongest force here. But if it will soothe you I'll make a call but if I make a call it has to be someone that actually has a chance of helping and won't end up fodder for thing being!" Bowser huffed but accepted the reply and turned around. "Bowser, stay here now. I don't want to lose another smasher."
"Hey look guys, it's Nana's pet rabbit!" Pit pointed at the animal wiggling the nose and leisurely hopping around the floor. "Aw what are you doing out here aren't you supposed to be in her room?"
"Pit, don't you dumbass!" Dark Pit growled.
"Come on, you think a vicious monster would choose a little rabbit?"
"Trap of cute, why not? Actually don't answer that just leave it!"
"He has a point Pit." Palutena agreed still in a very bad mood. Since they had clue of what was going on, MH didn't cave in to her begging. Incineroar and WiiFit Trainer tagged along with the trio.
"Fine…"
"Oh I was so worried, you're okay!"
"Nana, DON'T!" But their shout had come too late, Nana having already picked up her pet licking her face to which the girl giggled.
"Nothing happened…" Dark Pit blinked.
"Ha I was right!"
"Nana, why are you alone?" Palutena asked, the group walking over to the girl.
"Oh I'm sorry but I couldn't leave Hobbles but I'll go right back to the library to the other kids and I won't leave the group again, I promise!"
"Alright but you're not going alone. Dark Pit, go with her." Palutena ordered.
"Pfff, I'm not going without Pit!"
"Oh look who is being a caring friend!" Pit teased, Dark Pit glancing away with a growl and mutter, 'I don't care…'
"I have an idea. Master Hand who is the closest group to our location?"
"Team C, behind you heading right in your direction Palutena."
"Alright boys, you're both going with Nana to keep her safe we'll join Team C."
"But Lady Palutena, you're still-"
"I'll be fine, go on." Pit knew there no arguing, begrudgingly accepting his order and the two boys headed off, Nana thanking them. Team C having seen the send off quickly got filled in and the three joined.
"For a stupid rabbit…" Dark Pit muttered, Pit elbowing him. "Ow-"
"don't, she loves her bunny!" Pit whispered in snappy tone.
"I'm sorry I'm making you two fight…" Nana sighed, the boys quickly turning to her.
"Oh no, you don't! He's always a jerk and we always fight no matter what!" Pit quickly denied the claim.
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Pika!"
"Olimar is dead!" Everyone pooled into the room where Olimar was dead on the floor.
"So where is that thing now?" Chrom voiced the obvious question.
"We were altogether, that thing had nowhere to go from Olimar." Lucina pointed out.
"No knife…" Robin informed.
"Did Nana let her pet rabbit run around today?" Samus asked out of the blue.
"Alright and we're here! All safe now, no scary-"
"Pit I'm not five years old and I have fought evil before I know what's going on and I'm a smasher too. Stop treating me like a toddler needing protection just cuz you're older." Nana deadpanned walking past the angel holding the library door open and Dark Pit smirked at the remark met by a sticking out tongue.
"Bye kid. Come on Pit, let's get back to Palutena." The two left, Pit waving to the others.
"That must have been scary for Hobbles all alone…" Popo remarked petting the pet between them as the kids sat in a circle while Daisy and Ken listened to the news a few steps away, Nana did have a point but MH wanted them a little sheltered.
"Think he saw any bodies?" Toon Link blurted out.
"Hobbles is really cute, Nana." Daisy giggled kneeling down by the kids and Hobbles crawled into her lap standing up and trying to lick her Daisy lifting up the animal higher up in her arms. Hobbles licked her neck immediately standing up in her arms and the group smiled until the blood splattered out from Daisy's throat, Hobbles suddenly savagely biting and tearing into it with the sharp teeth. Daisy sputtered falling over and Hobbles pushed off having shredded her throat in seconds tainting the snow white fur and pushed out of her arms, paws landing in Ken's face instinctively putting up his hand in defense which didn't help as the little paws touched his skin. Hobbles dropped dead as Daisy choked on her last own breath and in another seconds, Ken's big meaty hand had ripped down Popo's hood and had the boy on the neck before setting him down abruptly, Popo grinning as Ken dropped dead while the device Crazy had brought a while ago blared with Samus' voice to not touch Nana's pet rabbit. Popo lashed out with his hammer, Nana frozen for a moment from the sudden loss and brutal scene unable to get up fast enough and the hammer smashed into her leg painfully. Toon Link snarled with sword and shield poised, Lucas shivering but standing bravely while Ness was ready to PK fire. "Never seen bunnies misbehave?" Popo grinned tilting his head, hammer pulling back again and the three other smashers lunged to defend Nana yowling in pain.
"Crap!" Dark Pit yelled, Samus blaring through the device as Palutena had handed it to them, the two quickly turned and dashed back to the library as Pit tucked it back in his clothes.
"We'll get you out of there Popo!"TL growled, Nana leaning against Lucas almost slipping out of conscious as Ness focused with Toony on the fight. Popo wiped his bloody stepping back almost slammed in the back by the double doors suddenly flying open and Pit and his double rushing in stopping with weapons out. Toon Link and Ness screamed for them to watch out as Popo quite beaten up grinned, glove off the hand in a split second and slapping against Pit's leg with a slasher smile. Popo dropped dead, Pit firing an arrow right away piercing Nana in the head ending her as her corpse fully leaned on Lucas for whom fear and shock overtook any bravery as the boy trembled. Dark Pit's blade smashed into Pit's as he countered his attacker with a smile.
"You bastard!"
"You know, I hate doubles. I hate you and I always have. I just pretend for Palutena. You should do everyone a favor and die in the sewers, no one wants you around!" Pit smiled as the others eyes narrowed with his push becoming weaker and the two stepped apart for a moment. Ness and Toon Link inched closer.
"Don't! This is my fight!" The blades clashed again, Pit shoving his double back as the eyes glinted in amusement. "Pit! Snap out of it, fight it! I know you can do it!"
"Ever consider this could feel great?" Pit suddenly spun around, arrow there and back again aimed at Ness trying to get Lucas to rise having a breakdown and Dark Pit stumbled into him due to the lost pressure but the other didn't budge unwavering like his smile. Dark Pit growled pushing down the arm and sideways shoving Pit, subverting the aim from a death blow to a deeply slashed cheek and Pit turned to him with smile as the double was practically almost draped over him the bow lowed and bladed in one swift move before digging into dark Pit's side in seconds. Dark Pit sputtered as his blood filled his throat hazy vision turning up to his smiling counter giving hold with one arm while the other pushed in the blade into his flesh further and further, Dark Pit erupting in a gurgling scream.
"Come on, let's run and find the others." Toon Link growled wishing to fight but Lucas was a liability right now, Bowser Jr, already having hidden and ready dash away. If they could at least get to the hands, they could drop Lucas off with them while they fight with the other. Ness and Toon Link practically dragged away Lucas, Pit turning and gazing after them as Dark Pit slid and the lifeless body dropped to the floor with the eyes dull drowning in pain before and the poll of blood from mouth and wound growing steadily. Pit stepped forward to follow as the device livened up again with MH ordering everyone to the library and Palutena along with Snake to the med/heal bay immediately. Pit took off, dodging a paralyzing shot from Samus barely catching him out of the corner of her eye immediately suspicious of the blood stain and the blonde changed direction in favor of following with a few others while a chunk continued to the library and another chunk broke off in a completely different direction. Incineroar snarled smelling the blood as Pit zoomed into sight from a corner running alongside them and Greninja switched from Paluntena's left to her right placing the Pokémon between Palutena and Pit with the other one. Pit waved at Palutena with a smile but bow at the side without an arrow and the green haired woman wasn't sure how to feel. Pit hadn't attacked, he right now he just ran beside them granted it had only been seconds. But that giant blood stain…
"Where is Dark Pit?"
"Dead!" Pit replied suddenly turning his body sideways during the run and falling while loading the bow in the blink of an eye while dodging a paralyzing shot from Samus. "Like them!" The arrow pierced Incineroar in the head murdering it and send Palutena stumbling forward while Greninja had rushed in front of Pit at the jovial reply to cut him off instead his by Samus' shot going down twitching. Pit quickly got up on his feet leaping over an attempted energy whip ankle grab stabbing Greninja mortally wounding it as the last seconds of the Pokémon's life slipped away painfully.
"Where did Bowser go?" MH turned around, blinking if he could as the smasher had silently left. "Crazy, let's go apprehend Pit."
Bowser's eyes narrowed, Pit coming into his sight focused on Palutena with Samus hot on the heels. Bowser rushed in Pit's way out of the room reeling back his arm and slammed his clawed hand into his gut the boy's choked blood splattering in his face as Bowser's ignoring the slash to his face the winged smasher's body falling limp. Bowser cast aside the body off of him with a snarl and the smashers further and Palutena came to a halt, Paluntena's face contorting from shock to rage aimed at Bowser. "You murdered him! "
"That monster murdered Peach…" Bowser snarled turning around and marching away.
"Pit could've still been in there!" Palutena barked, tears starting to slide.
"Not so fast monster… you touched Bowser there was more than enough time…" Samus growled stepping closer.
"Seriously? Fine! Ask me something only I would know Samus!"
Samus' eyes narrowed taking a step back as Bowser had whipped around with a roar. "Fine…" 'I don't know him well enough…' Silence spread as Samus didn't know what to ask, Palutena sobbed for Pit and Dark Pit and a handful of other smasher arrived including Luigi while Bowser angrily but patiently waited even though it caused him to be more surrounded. "Luigi! Ask Bowser something only he would know! You know him better than me."
"Which fight did you finally say my name and take me serious instead of calling me 'just the green guy?'"
