A/N:Hi, I'm back with a new chapter! Sorry about the lack of updates, my cousins came over a couple days ago, so I couldn't get on the computer alone to write a new chapter. But, they just left, so now I'm writing this chapter, which is based off the idea from Glumshanks! And, Ms Loner, if you're reading this, I don't know what secret you're talking about because I've never played a Star Fox game, and none of my research has said anything about it. But, I will make a chapter revolving around them based on my research. With all of that out of the way, let's get to the story! Nintendo owns all characters used in this story.

Chapter 4: The Woods

"Alright, everyone on the train, we don't want to be late!" Lyn's voice rang throughout the train station as the assist trophies boarded the train They were going to Smash-City to join the smashers. Many different… people, we'll call them, were there. Lyn started counting all of the people on the train, but she noticed that two were missing.

Lyn walked up to the train rider, who just so happened to be Toon Link"Um, can we delay the train for a little bit? We seem to be missing a couple of people."

"No can do, ma'am. I have a schedule to keep. In fact, we should be leaving right about…" Toon Link started the train's engines, "...now." The train shot forward so suddenly that Lyn fell back into the next train car. "Well, I'd hate to be the ones missing this." Lyn said, looking out into the woods that surrounded Smash-City.

Back at the train station, Waluigi burst into the train station, panting heavily.

"Oh no! I'm too late!" He said, dropping to his knees. "What is Wario gonna think when I'm not there?" He said. He started kicking everything in sight, when he noticed that he was not the only one in the train station. On a bench, he saw Starfy, who was sleeping peacefully.

At least, he was, until Waluigi shook him awake. "You! I've seen your face before! You're another assist trophy, aren't you? Well, the train just left, so tough luck for both of us!" Waluigi said. Starfy started panicking, and took out his map. On the center of the map was Smash-City, and around it were the Smash-Woods. Starfy looked up, and saw that there was a sign across the train track that read: Do Not Enter: Smash-Woods. Extremely Dangerous. He gulped once, then sighed. He then crossed the train track and headed off into the woods.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Waluigi said, running after him. He caught up to Starfy, and they started walking, to hopefully find Smash City.

"So, what are you, anyway? Some sort of starfish-thingy?" Waluigi asked. Starfy turned around and slapped him, with a glare on his face. "No? Alright then." Waluigi said.

"So, you have any fo-" He was cut off by Starfy, who motioned to be quiet and listen. Waluigi strained his ears, and couldn't hear anything, which was surprising, considering the size of his ears. Starfy, the earless star, on the other hand, heard the faint sound of something… being rolled. It was coming from behind them… and it was coming closer! Starfy took Waluigi's hand and dashed forward.

They ran until they reached a river, and collapsed by it. At least, Waluigi did.

Waluigi got up, and saw the river. "Oh, water!" he said, running up to it. He kneeled down, and put his entire face into the water, gulping as much as he could. Then. he felt his lips touch something solid… He stopped drinking, and looked at Starfy, who looked just as confused as he was. Something rose from the water, something that looked like… water! It's shape was almost human-like. It connected its hands and feet to giant cylinders made of stone, and started charging towards them.

"Run!" Waluigi screamed, and took off. He noticed, however, that Starfy was still standing there, petrified in fear. He looked back at the woods, then at Starfy. Then the woods. Then Starfy again. "Curse my great personality!" Waluigi said, and ran back for Starfy. He grabbed Starfy, lifted him over his head, and screamed like a madman as he ran back into the woods. The creature, called the waterwraith, turned purple for a bit while and stood still as Waluigi screamed. Waluigi climbed up a tree, and put Starfy next to him. Starfy was still petrified, and wasn't moving.

"How do you fix a starfish-thingy?" Waluigi asked himself. He rocked back and forth on the tree, and realized that there was a giant lake right in front of him. He made sure that the Waterwraith didn't follow him, and put Starfy inside the water.

It didn't work. He sighed and was about to leave, when he saw a fat, and giant black thing with a yellow shell walk out of the water. He looked at Waluigi, and saw Starfy in his hands.

"Starfy! What happened to you?" The yellow clam asked, taking Starfy from Waluigi's hands.

"Hey! That's my starfish! Go get your own!" Waluigi yelled. The yellow clam just hushed him, took a pouch out of his shell, and spilled its contents on Starfy. The yellow star instantly got up, looking healthier than a few minutes before. Starfy saw the yellow clam, and instantly started doing all of these hand motions, as if he was trying to communicate. He waved his arms, jumped up and down, and at one point, it even looked like he was doing the chicken dance. The yellow clam nodded, as if he understood everything Starfy was doing.

After a while, Starfy finally stopped his motions, and the yellow clam talked to Waluigi. "Hi, I'm Moe. Starfy's professional friend, and his super awesome, muscular bodyguard!" Moe said, extending his face to be shaken.

"Uh… Hi. I'm lost." Waluigi said, "We're looking for Smash-City."

"Nice to meet you, Lost!" Moe said, taking out a poorly drawn map of the woods. "I've explored every inch of this forest, and mapped it all out! Just follow my map, and you'll be at Smash City in no time!" Moe said, handing him the map. "Well, it was nice talking, but a clam has a very busy lifestyle. I gotta go, bye!" Moe said, diving into the lake again.

Waluigi and Starfy left the lake, and tried to make sense of the map Moe had given them. It just looked like a drawing of a man with a bushy eyebrows, and a nose for a mouth. They threw the map away, and kept walking.

On their travels, they met a colony of Yoshi's worshipping a giant egg, a tribe of Mr. Saturn's, and a bunch of animals listening to a single girl sing. Finally, they reached saw the entrance to Smash-City in the distance.

"Yipee! We did it! Finally!" Waluigi said, hugging Starfy in joy, while almost squeezing him to death. They started running to the entrance, but then they heard something rolling in front of them. Then, they saw two waterwraiths appear from nowhere, and roll towards them!

"Yikes! Not you again!" Waluigi said, climbing up a tree again. Starfy followed him up, and one waterwraith started charging into the tree, while the other guarded the exit of the woods..

"Well, I guess this is the end." Waluigi said, "I never thought I'd go out like this. I thought I would go out in a hot dog eating contest with Wario. I guess its not totally bad. At least I didn't die completely alone." Waluigi said. He closed his eyes, and waited for him impending doom…

He thought about all the good times he had. Like when he applied to be an assist trophy and was accepted. And when and Wario put some poison mushroom juice in Mario's drink. He was in the bathroom for hours. Then he thought about today, when he woke up late due to an alarm clock misfunction. When he was forced to be the hero and save Starfy from the waterwraith. When he screamed louder than he's ever screamed in his life, causing the waterwraith to turn purple…

"That's it!" Waluigi said, startling Starfy, who was looking down at the waterwraith. Starfy looked at him confusedly, but his eyes were full of hope. Waluigi picked Starfy and jumped off the tree, landing between the waterwraith. The waterwraiths started charging toward them from both sides. Then, he started screaming like it was his last day on the planet. If this didn't work, it would be.

Fortunately, both waterwraiths turned purple and became paralyzed. Starfy saw what was happening and started screaming as well. But, no noise came out of his mouth. He didn't notice, though. They screamed while they slowly walked out of the woods. When they were outside the woods, they stopped screaming and ran for their lives.

They ran all the way to the entrance of Smash-City, which was surrounded by 10-foot high walls. A guard patrolling the top of the wall saw the two, and let them in. They entered the city, and they were greeted by the rest of the assist trophies.

"There you guys are!" Knuckle Joe said. "All of us were almost concerned for you! What happened?"

"Oh, it was horrible! We had to walk through the woods! We were walking for hours, and we were attacked by these water thingies!" Waluigi said, "But, like the hero I am, I boldly stepped in and saved Starfy." Waluigi puffed his chest out and flexed.

Knuckle Joe started laughing and said, "First of all, we just arrived here, so you were only in there for about 15 minutes. And, second of all, those are waterwraiths. Anything that can make sound can defeat them!"

"Don't take away my victory!" Waluigi said.

"Fine, whatever." Knuckle Joe said. "Here, I'll show you to your house." He took Waluigi and Starfy to their houses, and life went along like normal.

One week later, Waluigi was checking on his mail, and saw that he got a letter from Starfy. He opened it up, and on it was the a poorly written "Thank You!" and a childish drawing of Waluigi. He had a really big mouth and was screaming so hard that little lines had to be included to show it. Waluigi then looked over at Starfy, who was hanging out with Knuckle Joe and Kirby. He smiled and waved at him, and he waved back. Waluigi then went back inside his house, and hung the drawing on his fridge. "You still got it…" He said to himself, and then proceeded to put poison mushroom dust in Luigi's sandwich.

A/N: If you read to this point, thanks! I'm a little out of it today, and I have a headache, so if this chapter isn't as grammatically correct or isn't worded as good as the others, that's why. I just needed to get a chapter out for you guys! I'll be alright, don't worry. Feedback/suggestions welcome. Who so you want to see in the next chapter? Thanks, and until next chapter!
