A/N: Hello, and welcome back to a new chapter! Thank you to everyone who have given me ideas and feedback, it really helps! I fixed the typos in the last chapter. The next chapter may or may not be out on Saturday, because I'm gonna be doing something with my family for 99% of the day, so I apologize if it isn't. Anyway, let's get to the chapter!

Chapter 6: The Quest For Color

Mr. Game & Watch was one of the… weirder, smashers. When he first arrived in the third tournament, everyone stared at him. But, he quickly established himself as a very proficient fighter, and made a few friends along the way.

Everyone always praised the likes of Link and Snake for being very diverse with their wide array of weapons. But, nobody seemed to realize that Mr. Game & Watch was even more diverse. He had manholes, fishbowls, oil tanks, and judge mallets! That's not ever all of them. Plus, every one of his weapons are based on his different games! No two weapons are shown in one game of his.

"What could it be? How am I different from them?" Asked Mr. Game & Watch. He was sitting with Lucas, Ness, and Popo on a bench, watching the sunset, while eating hot dogs and lemonade. Lucas just muttered, "I don't know… maybe its because you're 2-D?"

"Nah, that can't be it." Mr. Game & Watch said, sipping his 2-D lemonade, which was pitch-black. He looked at his lemonade, and then had an idea. "Is it because, nothing about me has color?" He wondered.

"Prob'ly," Ness said, taking a bite out of his hot dog. "We need to get you some pizzazz!" He said, jumping up.

"How are we gonna do that?" Mr. Game & Watch said.

"Why don't we try paint?" Popo asked, taking out his paint brush that he just so happened to have on him at this moment.

"Where are we gonna get the paint?" Ness asked.

"I got it." said Lucas, who pulled out a paint can from his shirt pocket filled with colors of all shapes and sizes (?). Popo dipped in his paint brush in blue, and threw it at Mr. Game & Watch. "Catch!" he yelled.

It hit Mr. Game & Watch in the face, and his face had a slight blue tinge to it.

"It worked!" Popo said. But, the blue went away.
"Aww man!" Ness said, taking the paint brush in his hand. He threw it into the lake, earning a cry and slap from Popo. "Any other ideas?" he said, rubbing his cheek. Nobody spoke up.

"Well, I guess I'll think of it tonight. See ya guys later." Mr. Game & Watch said. He shot down his lemonade, and went home. He thought of how to get himself some color, but couldn't think of anything. He finally gave up, and decided to go to sleep.

Ness woke up to the sounds of pit pat pit pat on his roof. Looking outside, he saw that it was raining. Groaning, he went downstairs to get himself some breakfast. When he arrived, he saw Lucas looking at what appeared to be a black rug. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the rug was actually Mr. Game & Watch, who was passed out on the table.

"Uh, My. Game & Watch?" Lucas said, "Get up, it's morning." He poked Mr. Game & Watch with his stick.

"Ah!" Mr. Game & Watch fell of the table, and onto Ness's "gourmet" steak, from the local trash can. "Where am I? Who are you?" He said, wiping his face.

"Oh, it's just you. Hey." He said, sitting up.

"So… No offense, but why are you here?" Lucas said, taking an ice cream cone shaped like Mr. Saturn out of their fridge.

"I was thinking long and hard about how to get me color." Mr. Game & Watch said, "I guess I wandered into the wrong house while I was pondering."

"Well, you should be glad you didn't walk into someone else's house. Imagine if you fell asleep in Bowser's house!" Ness said, taking a bite out of his steak.

"Yeah, he'd squash me until I become 1-d!" Mr. Game & Watch said, chuckling.

Lucas looked outside. "Hey, it stopped raining!" He ran outside, followed by the two guys behind him. Their lawn was squishy underneath, and it smelled heavily of moss.

"Look, a rainbow!" Ness said, pointing at the sky. Mr. Game & Watch stared at it. A rainbow, he thought. "Look at all of the colors!" Ness said, "If only we could somehow catch those colors for you!"

"That's it!" Mr. Game & Watch screamed, startling the others.

"What's it?" Ness asked.

"Rainbow's have tons of color, right?" Mr. Game & Watch asked.

"Well, technically, colors have very little to no weight, so you can't have a "ton" of color…" Lucas said, posing like "The Thinker."

"It was a rhetorical question!" Mr. Game & Watch said, "Anyways, what if we 'borrowed' some of that color from the rainbow? Do you think that would work?"

"I don't see why not!" Ness said, "But, how are we going to 'borrow' it?"

"Elementary, Ness," Mr. Game & Watch said, smoking a bubble pipe, "We fly through it! With a plane!"

"We could use the planes used in the race a few days ago!" Popo said, popping out from underneath the table.

"Ah!" Lucas screamed, "When did you get here?"

"I've been here for a couple hours. Why?" Popo asked. Nobody answered.

"Well, it's settled! Let's get one of those planes!" Mr. Game & Watch said, running out the door, with the rest of them following behind.

When they got to the plane fields, they saw that the tie-breaker-breaker-breaker race had just finished… as a tie. Again. When the racers limped home, Mr. Game & Watch walked up to Captain Falcon.

"Hey, Captain!" Mr. Game & Watch waved at the captain, who saluted back. "Um… I hate to be a bother…" Mr. Game & Watch mumbled, "But, we need to use that plane."

"Of course you can use the plane!" Captain Falcon said, "but, why do you need it?"

"To fly through a rainbow and steal its color!" Popo screamed.

"Well, count me in, then!" Captain falcon said, "You'll need an expert pilot to fly the plane, and I love a good adventure!"

They got on the plane. Captain falcon started the engine, and its powerful roar made Mr. Game & Watch nervous. They took off, and started toward the rainbow.

After an hour of flying, captain falcon said what was on everyone's mind, "I don't think we can reach the rainbow."

"No! We just have to keep trying!" Mr. Game & Watch said. And sure enough, after another hour, they saw the rainbow approaching them, fast.

"Alright, on three, jump!" Captain Falcon told Mr. Game & Watch. He got his parachute ready.

"One, two, three, jump!" Mr. Game & Watch jumped and into the rainbow. They he used his parachute to land safely on the plane again.

"Wow… you look awesome!" Lucas said, snapping a picture with his phone. Popo handed him a mirror, and he saw that he was shining all types of colors! All the colors of the rainbow were his!

"Yes! We did it! Let's go home." Captain falcon turned the plane around, and left the rainbow, who was shining only one color: gray.

When he returned, he went to go show the rest of the smashers his new look. he was walking through the park, looking for someone to show. He saw Link and Zelda, and decided to show them. But, when he saw walked up to them, they were shouting.

"I never wanted this anyway!" Zelda shouted, stomping away from Link. He put his hands on his head, staring at the ground.

"Um… hey, Link." Mr. Game & Watch said.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Link screamed, looking at him. He put his head back down, ignoring his new look. He got up, and stomped away, in the opposite direction of Zelda. Mr. Game & Watch decided to go find someone else.

He went to the Smash-beach, and saw that Mario and Luigi were there. He decided to show them. But, when he walked within earshot, he heard that they were fighting, as well.

"You always get the spotlight! When am I, the superior brother, gonna get in the limelight?" Luigi said, getting out a fireball.

"Superior brother? Nintendo had a whole year dedicated to you, and I was still the one they focused on more!" Mario said, getting out his fireball.

"Lies!" Luigi screamed, hurling his fireball at Mario. Mario threw his, and they started playing dodgeball to the death.

What's going on? Mr. Game & Watch said, running away. He decided to find Lucas and Ness. He headed to his house. On his way, he saw a goomba and a waddle-dee fighting over a sandwich. He arrived at their house, and saw them on the front lawn.

"Hey, guys!" Mr. Game & Watch said, waving to them, "Have you noticed anything… odd? About the citizens and Smashers, I mean?"

"What's it to you, old man?" Ness said, shrugging.

"All I see is darkness, death, and destruction…" Lucas said, in a fetal position. Something's definitely wrong, here. What happened while I was gone? Mr. Game & Watch took this thought to his sleep that night.

When he woke up, he was at some spring in space or something. there was a fountain that poured rainbow looking water. There was a blinding light, and he saw a man, whose skin resembled Mr. Game & Watch's old texture.

"Hello, there, Mr. Game & Watch." The man said.

"Who are you?" Mr. Game & Watch asked, in awe.

"My name is not important." the man said, "But, this situation, is. You see, in your quest for outer beauty, you have destroyed the inner beauty of everything." He waved his hands, and saw all of the smashers fighting each other, while cursing each other out. It hurt Mr. game & Watch's eyes to watch.

The man waved his wands, and the image changed. This time, it was the rainbow. But, this rainbow didn't look friendly at all. It was completely grey, and gave off a purple aura. Did I do that? Mr. Game & Watch asked himself.

"Yes, you did." The man said. "You see, rainbows are the source of the good feelings we have. If you destroy a rainbow, you destroy the good feelings of everyone around it."

"But, what is the source of all bad feelings? Why can't we destroy that?" Mr. Game & Watch asked.

"It is not so simple." the man said. He displayed another picture. This time it was of a storm in the middle of the sea, with a boat stuck in the middle. "You see, there are many sources for both good and bad feelings. Rainbows are a source of good feelings. Rain is the source for bad feelings. but what created rainbows? Rain does. what created rain? Clouds and the sun do, which are sources of happiness. You see, they coexist with one another. One cannot live without the other." He changed the picture, and this time it was the same boat and sea, but the storm had stopped, and a rainbow flew above the sailors' heads.

"How do I fix this?" Mr. Game & Watch asked.

"You must return to the dying rainbow," the man said, "and give it back its color."

"Ok. I'll do what I must." He said. The man waved, and Mr. Game & Watch woke up.

He headed for the planes. He saw that Captain Falcon was shining the planes.

"Hey, can I borrow the plane again?" he asked.

"Yeah, if you want to be Falcon-Punched to oblivion." Captain Falcon said.

Well, that didn't work. Mr. Game & Watch looked around. "Look, some people fighting over a hot dog!"

"Hey! That's my hot dog!" Captain Falcon screamed, running in the direction he pointed in. Mr. Game & Watch got on the plane, and took off. After two hours, he saw the rainbow. He was about to jump through it, when he was crashed into from the side. He looked, and Captain falcon was there, his eyes glowing red.

"That's for tricking me!" He screamed. He jumped off his plane, and landed on Mr. Game & Watch's plane. He pulled off a James Bond pose, and started attacking Mr. Game & Watch.

Mr. Game & Watch watched the dying rainbow start to get thinner. He was running out of time! He hit Captain Falcon with his mallets, but he wasn't budging. He looked ahead, and saw a mountain approaching them, fast. They were gonna crash.

Please let this work. Mr. Game & Watch pulled out his gavel, and hoped for a 9. He didn't get one. Instead, he got a 7. Well, I had a nice life. Mr. Game & Watch prepared for impending doom. But, the food that came with the seven happened to be a rainbow lollipop, and it landed in Captain Falcon's mouth!. He swallowed it, and his eyes become white again.

He grabbed the plane controls, and brought the plane up, just in time. "Mr. Game & Watch had his hands over his eyes. "Am I dead yet?" He asked himself.

"No, but you gave it your best shot!" Captain Falcon said. Mr. Game & Watch looked up, and beamed when he saw that captain falcon was shouting. "Now, let's get you to that rainbow!" Captain falcon shouted, picking up speed. The rainbow was fading, fast.

The rainbow was almost gone when they arrived. "Jump!" Captain Falcon shouted. Mr. Game & Watch jumped into the rainbow just as it was disappearing.

Once he jumped through it, the Rainbow instantly returned to its colorful state, and a blinding light emanated from it that everyone could see from miles away (Kind of like when Aang started to win in the red versus blue thingy at the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Back at Smash-City, many voices rejoiced. Link and Zelda made up and went to get a smoothie, Mario and Luigi shook hands and played beach volleyball, the goomba and waddle-dee split the sandwich, and everyone was happy again. Even more happy than usual.

Mr. Game & Watch looked at himself. He had lost all of his color. He sighed.

"hey, don't worry about it. What matters is on the inside." Captain Falcon said. He touched Mr. Game & Watch's with his finger, and he saw his chest glow with all the colors of the rainbow faintly.

Mr. Game & Watch smiled. "Let's go home."

A/N: I really enjoyed writing this chapter, and I hope you guys enjoyed it! Again with the corn, but I just had corn this morning, so I think it's fine. While I was writing the part about Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch almost crashing into the airplane, I was listening to "Dragon Racing" from "How to Train your Dragon 2." I may have been inspired by that song in that part :P. Anyways, feedback/suggestions are always welcome. And if you catch any typos, please tell me about them so I can fix it. Until next chapter!
