Super Smash Family part 6
"Negative Influence"
Sonic and Ness had made it to there rooms when Ness's badge started to glow. "Oh come on didn't we already do this," Ness complained. "Well I guess we should go check it out then I'll just get Lucario," Sonic said opening his door. "Lucario we got trouble," Lucario opened his eyes from his meditation and then sighed. "I was hoping to just rest," he said. They hurried down the stairs then they saw all the villains gathering in the meeting room. "Huh I thought Master Hand said we were taking a break," said Sonic. "Well maybe he's just informing them that they shouldn't do anything foolish," said Ness actually curious himself, but more worried for Lucas. They made it to the infirmary when they saw Mario on the ground unconscious. "Mario!" exclaimed Sonic rushing to his side. He put his two fingers on his wrist to check his pulse then sighed. "Well he's still alive," "Who would do this?" Lucario questioned. "A more accurate question would be who could do this Mario is no push over," said Sonic. Ness saw that the doors for the rooms with the beds were blown off their hinges. "Oh no," he thought. Ness ran into the room to see Lucas was gone. Ness pounded the bed with his fist as he closed his eyes tightly. "Who ever took out Mario also took Lucas it would seem," said Lucario. Sonic walked over to the doors and observe them."They might have took Lucas as a bargain for your Chaos Emerald Sonic," said Lucario. Sonic stood up from investigating the doors.
"I'm afraid that no one took, but he may've left on his own," he said. Ness turned to Sonic with doubt on his face. "I mean look at the doors they were blown outward which means something was coming out and the window was closed and locked so the person would most likely force their way in if they couldn't pick a lock and there's no sign of a struggle anywhere if he really took him,"
"So, you're a detective now?" Ness asked.
"I watch a lot of Inspector Gadget,"
"So what you're saying is Lucas is the one that did that to Mario," said Ness.
"I didn't say all that, but I may be thinking it a little," Sonic said.
"Lucario see if you can track Lucas down using you aura," said Ness. Lucario nodded and closed his eyes and focused on Lucas's aura. He scanned the whole building till he found something strange.
"There seems to be some negative aura in the building," said Lucario.
"Hmmm, maybe that's our men where is he?" Sonic asked.
"He's going up the elevator and now he's on the 4th floor,"
"The 4th floor, why go there if he wanted to escape he would go to the roof?" Ness asked.
Sonic thought for a moment then realizes his Chaos Emerald was in his room. Without explaining he said to get Peach to help Mario and ran off. Ness and Lucario looked at each other then Lucario went to find Peach while Ness watched Mario. Sonic wasted no time instead of running up the stairs he was jumping from rails to walls then landed on the wall opposite to the door to his floor. Sonic jumped towards the door and smashed thorough it knocking it off it's hinges. Sonic ran across the hall spinning his feet then he came to his room with the door knocked off its hinges.
"Man Master Hand's going to lose it when he finds out all these doors got knocked down," Sonic muttered then he saw the figure reaching for his Chaos Emerald. Sonic ran and snatched it before the person could lay a finger on it.
"Sorry but this a little to gaudy for you, might I suggest a silly band," said Sonic. Then the figure turned into the light then reveled his face. "I was hoping it wasn't you Lucas but I guess that that's out the window,"
"Yeah and so are you," said Lucas firing a PK thunder, but this was much more powerful and threw Sonic right out the window. Sonic hit the ground level and landing in the dirt.
"I guess I set myself up for that one," Sonic groaned.
Meta Knight who was just passing by heard the crash and ran towards it. "What's going on in here?" He demanded.
As soon as he was in the doorway he was hit by Lucas's PK Freeze and was frozen solid. Lucas glanced at Meta Knight then walked out onto the balcony and saw Sonic sitting up from the attack.
"Man I had no idea Lucas was that strong," said Sonic shaking his head. He looked up and saw Lucas falling towards him. "Yikes," yelled Sonic as he rolled into his back then onto his feet as Lucas slammed into the ground. Sonic readied himself for the next move.
"Sonic don't make me have to take that emerald by force," said Lucas.
"I'm not making you do anything, besides what do you want with it?" asked Sonic.
"Yeah, who doesn't want a gem full of mystical energy," said Lucas sarcastically.
"Well, we don't have to be so practical. I mean what do you want to do with it," Sonic asked again. Lucas took a breath.
"I want the energy inside of it of course, during that battle with Porky I saw the emeralds true power, and I want that power for myself," Lucas explained.
"Lucas, I don't get why you would betray everyone like this, but I'm sure there must be a reason for this. Though at this point in time, it's far beyond me what, but I'm sure we can resolve this peacefully,"
Lucas charged up his powers and readied himself for battle. "Yeah, I thought not," said Sonic as he prepared for a fight.
Lucario had come back into the infirmary with Peach with him. "Oh my, Mario are you okay," asked Peach. Mario had finally come to.
"I just have a headache, but nothing to serious," Mario said. Peach merely grazed Mario's head when Mario had flinched.
"Humph a headache huh, seems to me like you could have a fractured skull," said Peach.
"Can you help him?" asked Lucario.
"Yes, I can bandaged him up, give him some pain killers, and maybe find some medicine that should speed up the healing process," Peach said stepping away from them and going through the medicine cabinets.
"Well what should we do about Lucas?" Lucario asked.
"The 12 will deal with him," said Mario standing up. However, a scalpel had flew through the air and landed right near Mario's head. Mario had then fell back to the floor in fear. Attention shifted to Peach who seemed to not even notice, but he got the hint. "D-Did I say the 12 I meant the 11 must stop him Lucario you go help to," Ness and Lucario nodded as they went out to find the other originals.
Sonic jumped over Lucas's mega PK Fire and then tried his slamming kick, but Lucas rolled out of the way. Lucas then let out a Psychic shockwave that blew Sonic back. Sonic landed on his back then looked up as Lucas came down on him. Sonic rolled to the side then spun right into Lucas making him skid across the ground. Lucas stammered to his feet and charged again. He then released a PK thunder that he swerved around then it hit him in the back. Lucas came at Sonic at an incredible speed. Sonic raised his Chaos Emerald then it started to glow. Sonic was fused with the energy he spun around and charged at Lucas. When the two collided sparks started to fly everywhere. Sonic then was able to break through and launched Lucas in the air then Sonic jumped up jumped up then grabbed Lucas. He then started spinning while he had Lucas in is grasps. He launched Lucas to the ground at an incredible speed. Lucas had slammed onto the ground. He was still for a moment and Sonic thought it was over. Then Lucas had got right back up.
"Come on Sonic I know you're a better fighter than that," said Lucas brushing himself off. Sonic actually could end the fight if he really wanted to, but he was holding back.
"Come on Lucas, your affectionate, I'm lovable, can't we just hug this out?"
Lucas glared at him. "You wont get off that easy,"
"I never do," Sonic groaned.
"Well since apparently that was your best shot here's mine," Lucas said. He jumped into the air and stared spinning. His energy had trapped Sonic and was shocking him then he kicked him away with some PSI energy. He pulled out his rope snake then grabbed Sonic's leg. Then spun him around and around and around then he had the snake let go. Sonic was hurled to the ground and when he landed he left a dirt trail. Lucas had then gathered energy into the palm of his hand. "Good Bye Sonic the Hedgehog,"
Suddenly two balls of energy had come at him. Lucas was blown away by the two attacks. He looked up and saw 11 of the original 12 and Lucario. They had wasted no time as they charged at Lucas Lucario and Ness ran to Sonic's side.
"Hey, Sonic, you okay?" asked Ness. Sonic pulled his face out of the dirt shook his head then spat out some dirt.
"Other then my bruised ribs, and my funny bone acting up, I'd say I'm good," he said.
"Lucario you stay here with Sonic leave everything to us," said Ness as he started off.
"Ness I know this doesn't feel right to you, but I've got a feeling that Lucas's action aren't his own so don't be to hard on him," Sonic said.
Ness just ran off seeming as if that didn't matter. Everyone had engaged Lucas in battle. Kirby had turned into a rock then Samus had grabbed him with her tether beam and swung him around. The rock form of Kirby had hit Lucas right in the stomach, and then Fox had come from behind and then punched him. Yoshi came and rammed Lucas with his head. DK came in and tried to slam his hands on Lucas, but Lucas used his PSI powers to halt DK. He then used a powerful Psychic shockwave that when DK hit the ground he formed a crater. Lucas then let out a mega shockwave that blew everyone away. Ness had got up then charged Lucas. Lucas let out a blast of energy that knocked Ness back down. Ness got up and looked at Lucas.
"Ha, your so pathetic it's to bad it had to be this way, but you know all things must come to an end sooner or later, sad really but you know what doesn't matter I didn't really care for you anyway," Lucas said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I didn't really feel that we were really friends I mean how could we be you just met me and you acted as if we've been buddies for years. I understand that you were being friendly, but that's all it ever was. You didn't care about me, and treated me like an annoyance. You know the really sad thing is I really did want to be friends and it's to bad you didn't feel the same. I hate you for that!" Lucas told him.
Ness looked at him with rage coming over him. What he said was somewhat true, but hearing it out loud made him feel worse. Ness did feel like he was just forced to be friends with Lucas because they're from the same world. That didn't much matter to Ness though but apparently it kinda did deep down. Ness then charged Lucas throwing punches.
"Aww what's the matter I hit a nerve," Lucas teased as he avoided all the punches. Ness grabbed him with his PSI then hurled him in the air. Lucas recovered then shot out a PK Freeze. Ness assumed that Lucas was showing his true colors, which is why he was so strong. Ness rolled away and saw this as his chance. He then used his PK Flash that hit Lucas hard. Lucas flipped in the air and landed on the ground holding his arm.
"Don't try to look weak now you jerk!" yelled Ness. Ness punched Lucas in the face then grabbed him with his PSI then slammed him into the ground over and over and over and over and over again.
The others had just let Ness vent his feelings since they had heard all that Lucas said. Lucas was badly injured, but he fought on anyway. When Ness had charged him he back handed him then in one swift motion had his rope snake grab Ness then swung him back then into the ground. Lucas then stood over Ness.
"Now I'll end this," He said raising two fingers in the air and started charging his energy. The others ran to aid Ness, but Lucas had a charge shot ready in his left hand and blasted them away. Lucas was about to bring his hand down when everything suddenly stopped. The wind, the trees, everything had just stopped. Then Sonic and Lucario had walked up.
"Incredible Sonic you stopped the flow of time," said Lucario amazed.
"Yeah, so I did. But we should probably do this now before time runs out," Sonic said walking over to Lucas. Lucario picked up Ness then Sonic had charged his Chaos Emerald then he disappeared. Sonic had sped around Lucas and started attacking him at supersonic speed. Lucas's body was reacting very slowly so it was as if he was standing still while Sonic was attacking.
Sonic had finished his supersonic onslaught then he snapped his fingers and time had started to progress as usual. Lucas then fell to the ground unconscious. Sonic looked at Lucas then to Lucario.
"Do you still sense the negative energy?" he asked. Lucario put Ness down then closed his eyes and then opened them.
"No I don't sense any of the negative energy from before,"
Ness walked over to Lucas with his fist a clenched then he turned and walked away. Sonic watched him as he left then sighed.
"Man this will be tough to fix, but better take Lucas to the infirmary," said Sonic going to pick up Lucas. He was then cut off from missile. "Hey, what's your deal the battles over,"
"Yes, it is, but Lucas is not going to the infirmary he's going in a cell and going to await his trial," said Fox.
"What! Guys you gotta be joking, the kids thirteen. It's completely normal for a evil presence to take root in them at that age,"
"Well Sonic he attacked Mario, you, and us consequences must be taken," said Luigi.
"His actions weren't his own I'm positive," said Sonic.
"Well you'll have to prove that in the trial," said Link. Donkey Kong took up Lucas and carried him back to the mansion as the others went with him. Sonic sighed.
"Well this will be a new experience being a lawyer," Sonic said.
"Your more like a defense lawyer but that's not the case we should figure out some evidence to prove Lucas is innocent," said Lucario. Sonic nodded and they walked into the mansion.
Deep in the smash mansion below the first floor was a basement. This basement was where some items were stored and prisoners. There were ten cells average in size and it was quite chilly in these cells. The cells were made from smananium the strongest metal in the smash world so strong the combine might of Bowser, Ganondorf, Donkey Kong, and even Master Hand could merely dent it. There was only one person in the cells a small blonde kid who was severely weakened, with cuts, and bruises. The boy was just starting to come to.
"Hmmm ugh w-what happened," he said waking up with his face on the cold floor. Lucas then attempted to move but was unable because of the soreness.
"Well look who's woken up," said a voice. Lucas crawled over to one of the two bunk beds in the room and grabbed the ladder and pulled himself up. Lucas couldn't hold onto the ladder for long so he turned his body as he fell to the ground to turn to the voice.
"Wow your in that much pain Sonic did a number on you," the voice said again.
"Who are you and what have you done to me!" demanded Lucas.
"Well it's just me," said Ness stepping into the light.
"Ness w-what's going on why am I in here and where is here?" Lucas asked in panic.
"Well you've been accused of treason and this is where we keep traitors or dangerous guest," Ness answered calmly.
"Treason! What are you talking about I've haven't done anything wrong," Lucas exclaimed. Ness then looked angry.
"You little twerp you got some nerve trying to play dumb!" yelled Ness. Lucas looked at Ness in shock. Ness never talked to him like that.
"Ness what happened?" Lucas asked.
"You seriously want to ask me that again like you weren't there like you're so innocent when in fact you're just a liar," Ness said coldly.
"What happened Ness," Lucas repeated this time more serious.
"You better not ask me that again," he threatened.
Lucas paused then began to talk. "What happened," Lucas repeated obviously trying Ness.
Ness glared at him then he walked over to a panel on the outside of the cell. Lucas watched him. Ness then pressed a button then the whole cell started glowing red. Then Lucas was painfully electrocuted.
"This cell is made to hold just about anyone and just incase someone could get out we had this installed," Ness said while Lucas was screaming in pain. Ness didn't seem to care about the fact that he was killing him. Lucas then rolled all over the floor still screaming. Ness then finally turned it off. Lucas was gasping for air. "Well may that be a lesson,"
Then the door to the basement opened and DK came in. Ness just glanced at him.
"Ness what do you think your doin?" he asked.
"Well he just decided to play dumb with me," Ness said.
"That was unnecessary," DK said.
"Maybe," he said.
"S-So this is w-w-what it comes to huh," Lucas said with barley any life.
"You're the one that wanted it this way right?" Ness responded.
"No, I didn't but it seems that our friendship has broken to pieces somehow and your to lazy to help me pick up the pieces so I guess you must want it this way," Lucas said.
"What friendship? There never was one," Ness said.
Those words hit Lucas hard. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"W-What," he said turning his head.
"Can't pick up the pieces if it never even existed," Ness said.
"YOU!" yelled Lucas standing up as if he hadn't gone through any of that pain. The dark aura he had earlier had returned.
"Now can I press it?" asked Ness wanting that in the beginning. DK ignored him and pressed the button himself. The room turned red then once again let out the electricity. However, Lucas was so in raged that it was like it wasn't even on. He then absorbed some of the energy then blasted the bars. He wasn't planning on breaking the bars, but he was trying to get Ness. The attack landed Ness right in the stomach, and sent him into the wall where he left an imprint. Lucas then succumbed to the electricity that's when DK turned it off. Lucas had then passed out.
DK just sighed. "That was insane I thought he might kill us," he thought. Ness had got back on his feet brushed himself off then left without a word.
(The 3rd floor)
"Yo Snake, can I talk with you for a moment," Sonic said knocking on the door. Then all of a sudden Sonic heard like a dozen locks then he saw part of Snake's face as he opened it.
"What?" he asked.
"Listen Snake I've got a problem could I talk with you?" Sonic asked.
Snake thought for a moment. "Ok fine," said Snake.
"Thanks," Sonic said. Then there was an awkward pause. "Well?"
"Well what?' Snake responded.
"Aren't you going to let me in?"
"Nope," Snake replied. Sonic sighed then explained the situation to him. "Well where do I come in?" Snake asked.
"Well I need to prepare a defense for Lucas, but I'm not sure how and since your like a secret agent I thought you dealt with the law before," Sonic said.
"More or less," shrugged Snake. "Alright I think I can help tell me what happened to Lucas before he went crazy,"
"Well there was this big battle that Lucario, Lucas, Ness, and I had got into. We did well and beat the guy, but he had one of my Chaos Emeralds somehow. He used its negative energy, and Lucas was hit with a concentrated shot. I didn't think much of it though," Sonic explained.
"Well I think this is pretty much an open shut case, but I bet there are some blanks you can fill in ok I think I can help," Snake said. Sonic thanked him and they continued to talk.
(The 4th floor)
"So it's gone just like that?" Lucario asked.
"Yes, someone took it when I was frozen," Meta Knight grunted.
"Who ever did this is quite good to get away with a ship that big,"
"The strangest part about the whole thing is there were some creatures guarding the door and some odd looking robots," Meta Knight said. "I will get the Halberd back no matter who gets in my way," he began walking to the elevators.
"Where are you going?" asked Lucario.
"I'm going to find King Dedede's castle, mysteriously he just disappeared the same day as my ship, and then I will simply search for it," Meta Knight.
"Sir Meta Knight that could be dangerous especially going alone why don't you take someone with you?" asked Lucario.
"No, they'll just slow me down," Meta Knight said stepping into the elevator. He waved to Lucario then the doors closed.
"I have a feeling this wont end well," Lucario said. Then on another elevator Ness stepped out. Then Lucario started to glare at him.
"What's up with you?" Ness asked casually.
"I just can't believe you turned your back on Lucas just like that without even so much as a fight," Lucario said. Ness then had an annoyed look on his face. Then he started for his door, but Lucario blocked his path. "I wont let you off that easy you have to hear this,"
Ness looked at him, this prompt Lucario to continue speaking.
"Ness you know Lucas better then anyone do you really believe he would throw away a friendship that easily? He trust you, but it seems you don't feel the same. You just stomped on whatever chances you had to fix this. You gave up so easily and you turned your back on him even easier," Lucario said.
"So I'm the only one at fault huh everything's my fault even though the words came out his mouth," Ness exclaimed.
"Lucas was not himself you know that, yet you still hate him which is something I don't understand was the friendship you formed false or was this simply a test of your friendship cause apparently you failed," Lucario said.
"Like you understand. I thought Lucas, and I were great friends," Ness said looking down.
"Hmmm great friend? Strange since Lucas sees you as his best friend. Lucas was the one who got Sonic and I to go help you, Lucas saved your life, now when you get the same chance you throw it away," Lucario said.
Ness felt ashamed. "Please move Lucario," Ness said with is head down. Lucario moved his hand from the door then backed away. Ness then opened the door then closed. He looked at the bunk bed then a memory came to him.
(Memory)
"I get top bunk," said Ness jumping up onto the top.
"Hey I wanted the top I called it," said Lucas.
"Sorry, but veterans choose first," Ness said.
"Well then I'll take it from you," he said jumping onto the top bunk. The two then wrestled then it ended with Ness sitting on top of Lucas's back. Lucas began to struggle and whine. "That's not fair,"
"Well that's life pal," Ness said with a laugh. Lucas then stopped struggling. Ness looked down at him then got off him. "What's wrong it's just a bed,"
"It's not that its just I feel so weak that I wonder what am I doing here," he said without getting up.
"Lucas you're stronger than you think I know you are now all you gotta do is show them," Ness said.
"Do you really believe that Ness do you think I'm strong?" Lucas asked.
"Of course don't be so dumb, and at any time you can't handle something I'll help you out," Ness said. Lucas then turned on his side then sat up and looked at Ness.
"So does this make us friends or allies?" Lucas asked. Ness looked at him.
"Both you got my back I got yours as simple as that… now get off my bed," Ness said as he pushed Lucas off the bed and to the floor.
"You jerk," Lucas said on his back on the floor.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah," he responded. Lucas then sat up with a bit of a smile.
(Back in the room)
Ness then walked over to Lucas's bed. "Stupid Lucas," he said as he got on his knees and started to cry on his bed. Lucario felt that he had said the right words that should help in the recovery of there friendship. Sonic had then walked up to Lucario.
"Hey uh what's up why you just standing here?" he asked.
"Nothing just finished talking to Meta Knight is all," Lucario responded.
"Hmmm I see well thanks to Snake I think I have a good defense for Lucas," Sonic said.
"That's good lets get ready then head to the meeting room for the trial," Lucario said. Sonic nodded then Lucario opened the door to their room.
"Wait hold on is Ness in his room?" Sonic asked.
"Yes,"
"Well I need to talk to him about what he's doing," Sonic said going to knock on the door.
"That wont be necessary," Lucario said stopping Sonic's hand from knocking.
"What do you mean?"
"I already talked to him, so just let him gather himself," Lucario said letting go of Sonic's hand then going into the room. Sonic glanced at the door then walked into his room.
2 hours later
(Meeting room)
Everyone was present in the court room everyone except for Ness. Lucas was sad because he really wanted to see him, and probably make him suffer for what he said. It kinda scared him that he was thinking like that, but it didn't feel bad though.
"Alright lets move this into the court room," said Master Hand. He then snapped his fingers and the meeting room turned into a courtroom. Master Hand sat as the judge with a giant hammer. The originals sat as the jury, and the accused sat on the left side of the room.
"This court shall come to order, you Lucas stand accused of treason to the smash manor, how do you plea," Master Hand asked. Sonic put his feet on the table.
"He's cool your honor," he said. Everyone in the courtroom just shook their heads.
"Not guilty," Lucas said.
"Well we shall see what are the accusations?" Master Hand asked.
Kirby stood up. "Poyo Poyo Poyo," he said. Everyone just looked at him. Link took the paper from Kirby.
"Uh they are violent actions toward house mates, attacking without warning, destruction of property, and attempt at murder," Link said.
"Wow sounds worst when you hear it out loud like that," said Sonic.
"Sonic were suppose to defend him," Lucario whispered to him.
"Ok then please tell me why you would do these things Lucas," Master Hand said.
"I really don't remember much of anything yesterday," he said.
"Well what do you remember," Master Hand said with a hint of humor.
"Well I remember waking up, and someone talking to me telling me go upstairs destroy those who get in my way," he said.
"So, what your saying is you were being controlled," Master Hand said.
"Yeah, I guess," Lucas said.
"Well it seems that you can't think of a better excuse then that then you might as well submit me and Mario checked on you there was no one around to do anything to you," Master Hand exclaimed. Lucas flinched since he didn't know what to say.
"It's simple MH he was under the influence of negative energy," Sonic said.
"Sonic first of all I'm a judge so you call me your honor second what negative energy?" MH asked.
"Well I'll start from the beginning," he said. Sonic held up his chaos emerald. "It started a couple of years back when I lived in a city called Station Square. You see there was this creature called Chaos that was made of pure chaos energy. Chaos gained power and transformed every time he was given a Chaos Emerald. My enemy Dr. Eggman controlled him and I fought him many times. In the end Chaos got all the chaos emeralds and absorbed all the NEGATIVE energy in the chaos emeralds. The chaos emeralds had lost there luster and turned into regular emeralds. That's when my friends had given me the chaos emeralds, and believed that I could stop him. Our positive emotions toward each other brought the true power out of the emeralds and I was able to use my positive aura to destroy his negative one," Sonic explained.
"Very good story Sonic, but how does that apply to this case," Master Hand asked.
"Well you see 'your honor' when Lucas, Lucario, Ness, and I were battling Porky he had brought on negativity onto the emerald bringing out it's negative energy and shooting it at us Lucas was infected with the negative energy," Sonic said. Everyone was in shock at the explanation.
"So, when you used the positive energy of your emerald you were able to destroy the negative energy in him," Master Hand said.
"I think I only weakened it, it's up to Lucas to destroy it," Sonic said glancing at Lucas.
"So this negative energy is still in him can't you completely destroy it like Chaos?" he asked.
"Well I didn't destroy Chaos all his anger just was gone," Sonic said.
"Then in order to get Lucas off the hook you must completely destroy the negative energy," Master Hand said. Everyone seemed ok with this compromise except for Sonic.
"Are you nuts? I could kill him Chaos is stronger then Lucas, and not to mention Chaos was a god. The effects would be different especially in his weakened condition now," Sonic said.
"Sonic we finally get a compromise and you wont take it," said Master Hand.
"That is no compromise the only way for the negative energy not to be a problem is A: Lucas gains control of it, B: Lucas is able to get rid of the energy, or C: He uses the positive energy of my emerald to get rid of it," Sonic explained.
"Sonic I don't want him in contact with that emerald he could absorb the negative energy in it," said Master Hand.
"Your honor Lucas is in full control of himself now, and the only way the negative energy will return is if he has negative impulses," Lucario said.
Master Hand thought for a second. "Jury what do you rule?" Master Hand asked them. Pikachu, Kirby, Link, Samus, and Yoshi voted not guilty. Jigglypuff, Capt. Falcon, Luigi, DK, and Fox said guilty. Mario was the deciding vote. Everyone thought since Lucas injured him this would be a vote for guilty however Mario voted not guilty. "Well since Ness is not here his vote shall not count making the final vote 5 guilty and 6 not guilty hmmm ok you all shall go while Sonic, Lucario, and I talk about this,"
Everyone had agreed to this. Sonic and Lucario walked up to Master Hand to talk. "I want you all back in half an hour," he said as they all left. DK then took Lucas to his cell.
'Master Hand seems pretty keen on getting me banned I wonder why,' Lucas thought. DK was in front of him as the entered the basement. "DK do you think Master Hand is being kind of unfair?" Lucas asked.
"Well he does seem kinda harsh seein as he woulda let cha slide wit all the evidence," DK said. Lucas thought with all the strange things happening it wouldn't be surprising if Master Hand had some involvement. DK stopped Lucas in front of his cell DK then went to the pad and pressed some buttons. Lucas then came do a decision right then and there. He had to do something other then get banned he had to prove who used him. He was indeed influenced by the negative energy, but a mysterious negative force was leading him. He decided in order to prove himself he had to take action.
As soon as the door was open Lucas pushed DK into the cage using his PSI. DK hit the shook his head then looked at Lucas with rage. Lucas didn't know what button to press so he simply smashed the panel. That worked as DK charged at Lucas he slammed into the barrier. DK then roared. The roar was very loud so eventually someone would come but he had to block out DK's roar. Lucas ran over to the items that were stored there and went through them. He found what he was looking for. Lucas covered his eyes as he through a deku nut at the cage stunning him. Lucas then ran up the steps to the first level. He opened the door slowly looking around hoping no one would see him.
"I need to get to my room," he said. He took one final look then dashed toward the stairs.
Lucas was at the door to the stairs when somebody stopped him. "Where do you think your going?" said the voice. Lucas was breaking in a cold sweat for what every chance he had of staying was gone. Then he recognized the voice.
"Sonic?" he said turning.
"Yeah it's me so where do you think your going?" Sonic repeated.
"Sonic I don't think Master Hand will let me off the hook even DK says he isn't this up tight so I decided that I will escape I prove myself innocent or find what force is behind this," he said. Sonic only looked at him then nodded.
"Yeah, I think your right actually. Truth be told I was about to go get you myself since Lucario covered for me saying that he made notes, and he wants me to go get them, but since you escaped yourself I guess you have a plan," Sonic said.
"Yeah, I have something in my room that I could use to get away," Lucas told him. Sonic grabbed Lucas and ran up the stairs at supersonic speed. He dropped Lucas off at his room.
"Well Lucas I guess this is it Lucario actually made notes so I better get them, but don't worry we come and find of and here," Sonic said as he tossed him his chaos emerald.
"Just in case you need it. A good luck charm," Sonic said. Sonic then went in his room then come out with some papers gave thumps-up to Lucas and ran off.
Lucas then tuned to his door and opened it slowly. He felt alarmed as he saw Ness laying his head on his bed then he heard snoring then felt relieved.
"I wonder what he's doing on my bed," He wondered. He walked over to see if he was really sleeping which he was. Lucas then noticed his bed was wet and Ness had tear tracks on his face. Lucas looked at him then remembered why he was there. He pulled out Mr. Saturn's tea table. Before he left however he wrote a note and out it next to Lucas. "Maybe he wants to fix things to,"
Lucas took one glance at the chaos emerald then mounted the tea table. He opened the glass door with his PSI powers then rode the table out. He closed it behind him. Ness then suddenly awoke shaking his head. He then saw what looked like a note then saw it was Lucas's handwriting. Ness picked up the letter after wiping away his drool and read it. His eyes widened with interest, shock, and guilt.
