Super Smash Family part 8
"Divided We Fall"
Ness studied the note Lucas had left intensely. "Why would he leave me a note, is it a trap, or an invitation," Ness thought. Ness was then struck with realization. "Lucas escaped and he was here," Ness thought standing up. "Maybe I should show this note to Master Hand … no I wont do that if he went to the trouble to escape and write a note then he must be trying to tell me something, so it's best I go after him," Ness thought. He stuffed the note in his pocket then turned then noticed something on the ground. "Lucas's badge huh well I guess we can't just track his movements now," Ness said picking up the badge. "It would be pretty dangerous to go without his badge otherwise he could be killed, I bet he doesn't know that, I told Master Hand to get manuals for these things, but he's so cheap," Ness said walking out his door. Ness went to the elevator then he ran into Fox and Falco.
"This is just weird huh," said Fox.
"Yeah, I know. I never thought we would get a mission on our break time, I guess we couldn't just get paid to just lie around," Falco said.
"Where you guys going," Ness asked catching the elevator with them.
"We got a mission apparently," said Falco.
"Hey, didn't see you in court Ness what happened?" Fox asked curiously.
"I fell asleep and besides I didn't really want to go," Ness said.
"I understand," Fox said.
"Fox told me what had happened and I gotta say that's pretty messy, but since I'm not the deep type I can't really say much, but this I can me and Fox argue all the time," Falco said.
"No we don't you pick fights all the time," Fox butted in.
"No, I don't," Falco replied.
"Are you serious of course you do," Fox said.
"Shut up before I turn you into the new welcome rug for the mansion," Falco threatened.
"Oh yeah well I bet I could turn you into a feather duster and Thanksgiving dinner," said Fox.
"Uh guys," Ness said getting their attention.
"Oh, sorry, but that was a good example thank you Fox," Falco said.
"No problem," Fox said.
"Well as I was saying friends fight it happens no matter how big or how small you can't stay against them forever, but that's only if your true friends," Falco said. Then they came to the bottom floor.
"So what's your mission anyway?" Ness asked stepping out the elevator.
"Wolf had left the mansion a couple of days ago and he's making trouble, apparently. We have no idea what he's doing just that it's really bad, no need for both of us to go though," said Fox.
"So I have to make a sweep of the planet sensors are saying there picking up weird and powerful energy signatures so I'm to investigate," Falco said.
"I see well good luck and come back soon," Ness said. They nodded then went to the ship hanger. Ness then went into thought. "It's weird that all the villains have just vanished from the mansion and how everyone is just leaving the mansion," Ness then heard yelling in the courtroom so he went inside and Sonic and Master Hand were arguing and Lucario keeping them from escalating.
"I don't care Sonic, he's a fugitive now, and fugitives are to be captured and punished no trial!" exclaimed Master Hand.
"Oh, come on we both know your ruling unfairly, even with the evidence we presented," Sonic replied.
"Well Lucas has knocked down three doors, attacked Mario, you, and the originals, attempt at murder, and now you can add fugitive. Why do you still think he'll be able to come back like nothing happened?" Master Hand asked.
"Well if it makes a difference Lucas only knocked down two doors," Sonic said scratching his ear while looking away. Master Hand was starting to get very irritated. Ness had then decided to make his presence known. Ness simple walked up to them. Lucario was the first to notice then Master Hand then Sonic. "Well hello sleepy head how was your nap?" Sonic asked.
"Fine thanks for asking, I'm guessing the trial didn't go well," Ness said.
"You guess correctly,"
"Well I'm sure we can work out a deal," Lucario suggested.
"I already gave you a deal. Sonic wouldn't take it, and besides this is law you don't make deals," Master Hand said.
"This is a slapped together court room, with you wearing a fake white wig. Judges don't even wear those anymore," Sonic pointed out. Master Hand looked visibly hurt by such an attack.
"What was the deal before?" Ness asked.
"Master Hand would have dropped the charges if Sonic would just cure Lucas of the negative energy that affected him during our battle with Porky, but Sonic declined saying that the way to be rid of the negative energy could very well kill him," Lucario explained.
"Negative energy?" Ness asked.
"Yeah, the Chaos Emerald posses both positive and negative energy. Lucas was infected by the negative part during our battle with Porky, so he acted only on is negative emotions," Sonic explained. Ness was surprised then he felt guilt knowing it wasn't Lucas's fault in some way it was his.
"O-Oh I see well seeing as he left his badge behind he could very well be in danger of dying," Ness said.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Sonic asked crossing his arms.
"Well you see in this world death is impossible unless you have a smash badge. For you see the badge senses danger that the owner is in and instantly is turned into a trophy that becomes virtually indestructible. The person encased in this shielding will only change back if the golden base of the trophy is touched. However, the person is totally unaware of their surroundings and are immobile," Master Hand explained.
"Yeah, and here is Lucas's," Ness said showing them.
"There is only one thing to do now it's dangerous for him to be without that badge," Lucario said.
"Yeah, ok then so we gotta go find Lucas," Sonic said uncrossing his arms. Then everyone turned their attention to Master Hand who seemed to be thinking.
"Okay here's the new deal we'll have a race," Master Hand said.
"A race!" Lucario exclaimed.
"Come on Master H. you don't seriously think some one can beat me in a race," Sonic said.
"Well in an ordinary race no, but a tracking race well that's different," Master Hand said.
"Tracking race?" Lucario asked.
"You mean a scavenger hunt?" Sonic asked.
"Yes Lucario, no Sonic. Let me explain, you see I will send bounty hunters to track Lucas, and the three of you can go after Lucas yourselves. If you three bring him back then all charges are cleared, but if one of my bounty hunters brings him back then he shall be punished. Ya know, since this is the second deal I gave you instead of three bounty hunters I will send four since you have such an advantage on your team," Master Hand explained. Ness just looked at the ground, but Lucario and Sonic were more then up for the challenge.
"So who are our competitors?" Lucario asked.
"Samus, Capt. Falcon, Snake, and Olimar,"
"Olimar?" They all said.
"Doesn't he study fungus or something?" Sonic asked.
"Trust me I think I got a solid team," Master Hand said.
"Alright Master Hand, you're on! Come on guys lets talk strategy," Sonic said then took Ness and Lucario back upstairs to Lucario and his room.
"Well now is the time to talk strategy while we still can," Lucario said.
"Yeah, I bet we can find Lucas way before those other slow pokes," Sonic said doing a stretch.
"We shouldn't underestimate any of those guys, especially Samus, she always succeeds in whatever mission she is given. Lucas will just be a simple mission for her, and that's if he's being careful," said Ness.
"Come on Ness don't be such a downer besides we already have a leg up on them," Sonic said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well before Lucas took off I gave him my chaos emerald," Sonic said with a smile while closing his eyes.
"Sonic that means you were a product in his escape you could get in trouble if…" Ness started.
"IF I get found out or reported. Yeah, I'm aware, but come on Ness. I know you don't hate Lucas so how about this we split up," Sonic suggested.
"Split up, wouldn't that be dangerous?" Lucario asked.
"Yeah, maybe, but we have to find Lucas as quick as possible. The other hunters will probably spilt up, and I can't go full speed if you guys come with me. If we go our own pace we may be able to track him better. The only downside is who ever is after the Chaos Emeralds will probably realize that I don't have it, so that means we gotta go double time," Sonic explained.
"Sonic, you do realize you've just put Lucas in a very dangerous situation right?" Lucario asked.
"Yeah, I know it's risky, but I have faith in his abilities. Lucas doesn't strike my as a weakling, shy as a crab, but not weak by no means. The fact he stood his ground in such a situation proves that, despite that he turned tale. I've got a niche for finding Chaos Emeralds, trust me. As long as he has that emerald, I'll find him," Sonic explained. Ness looked at Sonic with a questionable look, and then looked at the floor.
'I see why Lucas admires him,' Ness thought. Lucario sensed Ness's nerves.
"You ok to go Ness?" Lucario asked.
"Y-Yeah I will go with you guys…it's just that…Lucas. Do you guys think I treat him like an annoyance?" Ness said. Sonic and Lucario looked at each other then at Ness. They both gave a slight nod.
"The respect you give him is…lacking," Lucario said.
"It could be better is what we're saying," Sonic added.
"Sonic, your such a great hero on your planet. I've done my fair share of good deeds, but…you give off such a pure feeling. Lucario you know what I mean right?"
"Yes, Sonic's aura is the purest I've seen,"
"Awe you guys are gonna make me blush,"
"It's true, and I'm wondering. How is it possible somebody could be so well modeled for the greater good,"
"I value those close to me, both new and old. I've only known Lucas for two days, but I know enough. I don't care who it is, if their being wronged I'm not just gonna stand by and watch. I'm quick to make friends, but even quicker to defend them,"
"I see, so Sonic, am I…"
"Why even bothering asking you already know the answer. I'm buds with all you guys. I can tell were going to be pretty tight for this tournament, but first we gotta get the fourth member of our crew. So without further ado lets get moving there's no time to waste lets do it to it!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Ok I'll meet you guys in the front a little later ok," said Ness taking his leave.
"I will meditate to calm my mind and to begin planning our movements," Lucario said sitting down. Sonic nodded then also stepped out.
"Maybe I could go talk to this Samus," Sonic said running down the hallway.
In another part of the luxurious Smash Mansion, a long hallway stretched from one end of the mansion to the other. It's a great big wide hall that is usually used to get from one half of the mansion to the other. Soft red carpet that practically glistening in the light, with fancy lamps hanging from the walls, and a small window with a seat right underneath it. It was empty at the moment, a strange occurrence in this house, save for one person. Ness is walking through the hall with his head low. He then took out the piece of paper in his pocket and looked at it. Ness hadn't really heard anyone and noticed the hall is empty, so he paid little attention. Unfortunately, he should've been watching where he was going because he bumped into someone. This someone was built probably as strong as he was so when they collided they both fell.
"Oh, uh, sorry about that," said Ness. He then looked up and saw a kid wearing a green tunic quickly getting to his feet. At first he thought Link shrunk, but then he remembered the other Link everyone called Toon or TL.
"Oh, hey Ness, huh what's this," Toon Link said picking up the piece of paper Ness dropped.
"Hey give that back," Ness said lashing out. Toon Link was a very heroic and kind person just like his counterpart and unfortunately like his counterpart they can be very dense.
"Hold on let me read it," Toon Link said jumping to the side avoiding Ness and opening the paper at the same time. Ness knew it would be very difficult to catch him seeing as he was much quicker than him. Toon Link unfolded the note then began reading it aloud. "Dear Ness I wrote this cause I felt I had to…" Toon Link read.
"Give that back Toon!" exclaimed Ness diving again. Without even looking up with his face buried in the note he sidestepped Ness making him it the floor.
"Ness I feel you are my friend, but I also feel that you don't truly feel that you are mine…" Toon Link continued to read. Ness decided it was time for trickier tactics. He threw his yoyo to try and tie his legs but he jumped out with barley any effort or concentration. "I think your just being friendly not actually my friend, but I don't want to believe that. Even if it's obvious to everyone else that, that's what the case is. How you threw me aside when you felt I betrayed you. No, hesitation, and that hurt a lot…" Toon Link said still reading.
"I'll burn it then PK Fire!" Ness exclaimed shooting out a wild narrow flame from his finger.
With a swift motion Toon Link pulled out his shield and blocked the flames from the paper. "Calm down Ness I'm almost done it's kinda hard to read since it looked like he was in a hurry, and not to mention Lucas's handwriting looks like chicken scratch," Toon Link said.
"TOON you better give that back!" Ness yelled running at him. Toon Link then threw his shield at Ness's feet making him trip, but he finally also took hold of Toon Links legs making him fall as well. Toon Link still had the note, but Ness was scrambling for it. Toon Link pushed Ness away with his foot in Ness's face as he read the final part.
"Ness I want to believe we are friends, but in order to know the truth we must talk. No fighting, no yelling, and no slanders. Just talking like regular people…" Toon Link said still reading. Ness removed his foot then went for the note, but then Toon Link flipped Ness judo style onto the floor. Ness landed on his back then tilted his head up and saw Toon Link back on his feet. Ness rolled onto his front, then charged Toon Link one last time with his hands spread out about to close on Toon Link. He brought them together on nothing. Toon Link had jumped in the air then landed on top of Ness sitting on him. "I think we should meet somewhere so we can have a one on one talk. If you still feel the same way you can beat the tar out of me all you like then whatever you want to do I just want us to be True friends since I know I can't be your best when you've got so many old friends to choose from I'll see you later, Lucas," Toon Link had finally finished reading. "Wow that's kinda deep so any idea where he might be?" Toon Link asked Ness finally taking his eyes off the paper.
Ness just sighed at his defeat. Toon Link sensed he was embarrassed. "No need to be so embarrassed Ness, I got a lot of practice from my little sister. You pretty much did the same thing she does except the fire though," Ness got up pushing Toon Link off him. "Well what are you going to do?" Toon Link asked getting back up.
"None of your business," Ness said snatching the note from him finally, and turning to walk away.
"Oh, come on Ness no need to get mad," Toon Link said stepping in front of Ness.
"Hmph," Ness huffed facing another direction.
"Well I think you should talk to him at least. Lucas just so happens to be my friend too ya know. To be honest you're not very nice to him, even given Lucas's passive nature,"
"You're an expert on people now?"
"It's no secret you treat Lucas like dirt,"
"You have no idea how I treat him, and I do care,"
"Why?"
"Because…because…uh…" Ness stammered.
"Lucas is trying so hard to be accepted by you that he's willing to be your doormat, and I find it really depressing. Not only is Lucas too good a person for that, but also you're not all that. No offense," Toon said frowning at Ness.
"None taken, I guess,"
"Challenge him to stand up for himself, to fight you head on, after you talk of course,"
"Huh, you want me to fight him after we talk. Didn't you just say he's too good a person to be my doormat?" Ness asked.
"Well Lucas is shy, but he's also pretty strong. You don't respect him as a strong person. You don't see his strength, so I think he has to show you for you to get the bigger picture. Basically, he has to punch your face in," Toon Link said with a smile. Ness gave him a look. "Too blunt?"
"A tiny bit yeah,"
"Try getting to know him first,"
"I…don't think he'd appreciate me anyway,"
"Are you…wait…do you think Lucas is too good a person to be your friend?" Toon asked shocked.
"I…just don't know…how I can be friends with someone like him. I mean he's such a good person. I'm envious,"
"That's what he told me about you," Toon said raising an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yeah,"
"I never thought he was envious,"
"He was and is,"
"Then I really need to fix this. I messed up, really bad. My greatest strength is the trust I have in my friends, and for the longest time I've been guarded of whom I let close to me. I guess too guarded. Lucas just reminds me of a former friend I loathe with a passion. I guess I unknowingly treated him that way because…"
"Of the past experience with that other friend?"
"Yeah,"
"Obviously you can tell the difference now,"
"Yeah, and I feel so stupid for thinking the two were anything alike. I feel like such a prick! I gotta make up for this,"
"Well, go for it pal," He said with a smile.
"Thank you To-I mean Link, I really needed that," Ness said.
"No problem, always ready to make a friend," Toon said picking up his shield then walking away.
"Friend?" Ness questioned at first, but then Ness then smiled as he turned and walked away. "Yeah and even quicker to defend them,"
(Space ship hanger)
Samus was in her Zero Suit with a big metal case in her hands and heading to her ship. "I wonder why Master Hand is so keen on finding Lucas, the kids no criminal," She said to herself. Something about this whole situation didn't seem right, but she just had to deal.
"Hey Samus," said a voice from behind. Samus turned and saw Sonic walk up to her.
"Hello… Sonic right?"
"What other blue, supersonic moving, lawyer, and talking hedgehog do you know?"
"Good point, so you ready?" Samus asked.
"Yeah, I guess I just don't think this is the right thing to do ya know," Sonic said.
"Well Sonic, I would have to agree with you. I think this whole situation is weird. First all the villains just suddenly disappear, then Meta Knight leaves, Fox and Falco go on a mission, and now we go on a fugitive hunt. Why are so many of us suddenly getting hauled out of here?" Samus asked not expecting an answer though.
"Yeah, I know so why don't we do a little investigating," Sonic said crossing his arms.
"What are you trying to say Sonic?" Samus said smiling.
"Well I just think that maybe we could stay connected while were out there searching for Lucas and maybe a few bad guys," Sonic said smiling.
"Are you coming on to me?"
"Is it working?"
"Yes and no,"
"What does that mean?"
"No, you putting the moves on me isn't working, and yes my paralyzer does work,"
"You're a cold one, Miss Samus, but still I'm gonna need those digits. For business reasons of course,"
"Of course. Well against my better judgment Sonic that doesn't sound like a bad idea so here," Samus said handing him a communicator. "You keep me posted and I'll keep you posted,"
"You got it pretty lady. For someone who cares little of how they look, you sure do look drop dead gorgeous. Care to explain?"
"What do you want?"
"Can't someone just give a free compliment?"
"Male compliments are never free,"
"A woman's needs aren't either,"
"Touché,"
"How good is your radar by the way, and I mean the one on your ship,"
Samus gave him a look before speaking, "Well its state of the art that can track all types of things why you looking for something specific?"
"Yeah, there could be a few Chaos Emeralds around. As I've learned from experience where there are Chaos Emeralds there is sure to be trouble as well,"
"So you've got a nack for looking for trouble huh?"
"Well the opposite actually. I kinda want a different approach this time. However, no matter what I do or how I do things because with my luck trouble usually finds me," Sonic said. Suddenly, both Samus and Sonic heard a noise. They weren't sure what it was, but it was close. They hadn't noticed it before strangely enough until now. They assumed it may've been their imagination, but upon listening further into the hanger they heard this faint noise. Fainter then anything they could think of. It was so faint they could only come to one conclusion. Someone was breathing, which meant they weren't alone. They both scanned the hanger until Samus sharp eyes noticed something on the ceiling seeing two pairs of eyes looking back at her. Sonic noticed her gazed and followed. Once seeing the creature he sighed. "Well I guess we have the same luck. Dating is gonna be a hazardous thing for us,"
The creature detached itself from the ceiling and fell to the floor, and then let out a mighty roar. It had razor sharp claws and teeth. It was purple with giant wings and on the inside of the wings they were orange.
"Whew, that's a big one," Sonic said striking a fighting pose.
"Yeah, don't worry I've beaten him before, so this will just be a warm-up now," Samus said also striking a pose. They both charged at the creature. Sonic was quite surprised at Samus's speed as she was right next to him, but he wasn't even running half his full speed.
"So Samus you and this guy got history together, or am I just imagining that I'm a third wheel?" Sonic asked jumping then flipping over the creature as it lashed out with its claws more at Samus then Sonic. Samus did small leap to the side.
"Yeah, his names Ridley. He's the leader of the space pirates, and an irate personality you wouldn't believe," she said pulling out her whip to snap it against Ridley's extended hand. Ridley quickly pulled back his hand then began rubbing it, now angered, Ridley beat his wings creating a mighty wind that blew Samus back. Ridley then turned on Sonic who didn't even flinch.
"It feels like someone just opened a window. Better seal that draft," Sonic then charged at him then head butted him in the chest. Sonic spun forward then landed an axe kick on Ridley's head. Sonic jumped back before Ridley could slam Sonic with his tail. Sonic skid to halt then came at Ridley sideways. However, Ridley was quicker then expected when he smacked Sonic away making him hit one of the ships in the hanger creating a dent. "Good reflexes! For a future handbag,"
Samus had stabbed her whip into his back making Ridley yell out in pain. He then turned grabbed her whip then swung her around. She was about to hit the floor, but Sonic slid and caught her. Ridley then raised his claws. Sonic with Samus still in his arms jumped up landed on his head then jumped again. Sonic's jump had recoiled on Ridley's head then he slammed into the ground. He then turned seeing Sonic in the air then flew up and raised his claw. Sonic then got his feet on the ceiling then jumped to the floor. Ridley's hand went into the ceiling.
"Miss me, miss me, now you gotta… wait never mind,"
Ridley was not very good with teasing with his hand still in the ceiling he ripped his hand out causing boulders from the ceiling to fall.
"Sonic watch out!" Samus exclaimed.
Sonic looked back and saw the boulders coming at him. Sonic landed on the floor then jumped to the side of the wall narrowly avoiding the rocks. Ridley dove down not seeing Sonic had escaped the rocks. Sonic then jumped from the wall then kicked Ridley in the face. Ridley slightly lost his balance, but recovered by going air born. Sonic saw one last boulder coming at him then kicked it into Ridley's chest.
"Nice shot," Samus said. Ridley took the rock and out his chest then threw it at them. "My turn now," Samus said leaping out of Sonic's arms. She pulled out her whip then whipped it horizontal, vertical, and twice diagonally.
The boulder had fell apart. Then Samus pulled her whip back then Sonic grabbed onto the end and started to spin. Samus pulled forward toward Ridley and then Sonic was slammed into his chest, then his face, then an uppercut, and finally she slammed him on top of him slamming him into the ground kicking up smoke. Sonic then casually walked out of the smoke.
"Hey you were so wrong. That wasn't even a warm-up. That was stretching at best,"
Unfortunately, Ridley was down, but not out. Ridley rose from the smoke he raised his hand then smacked Sonic away and sent him rolling across the ground. Ridley then dug his hand into the ground then charged at Samus then raised his hand as she was thrown into the air.
"Samus!" Sonic yelled. Sonic then took a track position then zoomed off towards them. Ridley slammed his hand into Samus slamming her into the wall then roared. Sonic then started running on the wall then spun into Ridley's face. Ridley and Sonic went flying towards the ground. While in the air Ridley grabbed Sonic then thrust him into the ground then started flying around the room plowing Sonic through the ground. Samus was on the ground then staggered to her feet.
"I guess I will need my power suit after all," she said. She went to her ship to get the metal case she kept her suit in. She was then shocked to see her suit was gone! "Some bodies ass is grass for this," she growled.
She then looked as Ridley was still dragging Sonic. Sonic was face first in the ground, but he was able to turn his body making his feet take the punishment.
"I guess we're beyond talking this out huh?" Sonic then spun his feet turning the tables on Ridley. "Stop me if you've heard this one," Sonic said now pulling Ridley along. Sonic then ran towards a wall, which Ridley and immediately let go. However, he was going too fast to control himself. Sonic ran up the wall and bounced off. Sonic slammed into Ridley's chin making Ridley's whole body do a loop de loop then slam head first into the wall. Ridley didn't move so it seemed he was out cold. "Huh, I guess you haven't heard that one before. You should probably get out more," Sonic was trying to catch his breath also spitting out some dirt. "Somebody needs to clean these floors," he said. He then ran over to Samus. "You ok?" Sonic asked.
"No, I'm not someone took my power suit," Samus said with anger.
"How?"
"Probably while we were fighting Ridley,"
"I guess this was only the beginning. You need to go to the infirmary?" Sonic asked.
"No, I'll be fine once I find my suit," she said stepping into her ship.
"I'll text you if I find out anything!" Sonic yelled out. She just nodded as Samus entered her ship the hatch to it closed, and she started her ship.
"Open the doors," she said through her ships speakers. Sonic walked over to a wall and pushed the button he thought would open the doors. The doors to the hanger opened and Samus's ship took off leaving behind Sonic. Sonic then looked over to where Ridley was or supposed to be. It seemed he to is gone
"H-He's gone but how!" Sonic exclaimed checking where he was. "Guess he must've left a cake in the oven," Sonic then turned and dashed out the hanger. He then walked outside where Ness and Lucario were waiting.
"Whoa, Sonic, what happened to you I thought you were going to talk to Samus?" Ness asked.
"I did but we were ambushed by an enemy of hers," Sonic told them still brushing himself off.
"Well what do you wanna do you look hurt," Lucario said.
"Were going to find Lucas. That creature was there to get my emerald I saw his radar, but it didn't go off so he must realize I don't have it. Now we have to hurry," Sonic said closing his eyes. He tried to focus on finding the Chaos Emeralds. "We gotta search wide okay guys. There's one in the mountains over there, one in the forest, and one at the edge of the desert," Sonic said.
"Ok I'll go in the mountains," said Lucario.
"I call desert," Ness said cheerfully. Sonic and Lucario looked at Ness.
"Well good to finally see you got your pep back. Dull Ness wasn't as much fun, so that leaves me with the forest," Sonic said.
"Here Sonic," Ness said giving him a communicator. "So we can stay in contact,"
"I feel like a secret agent on an assignment. The names hog, Hedgehog,"
"Be serious Sonic and lets go," Ness said rolling his eyes.
Sonic yelled spinning his feet and running off towards the forest. "Safe travels," Lucario, said dashing off. "Good luck you guys!" Ness yelled activating his PK teleport and disappearing. Little did they know things were about to go bad. "Heh what fools to leave now that we have gotten rid of the majority of the good smashers now is the time ATTACK!" yelled a voice of a man in a flying machine. Suddenly shadow bugs had surrounded the mansion, along with robots, and Koopas and Goompas. "Now they shall fall hahahahHAHAHA!" he laughed. The smash mansion was now under attack marking the beginning of war.
