Well, he we are! The chapter that's been planned since December of last year! It's been awhile since then, but I finally made it, and I'm glad to say that I really enjoy this chapter!

And I had to search up on the internet what "Tsundere" is, and now that I know, all I can say is that we'll just have to wait and see.

Link would definitely be a great lawyer. He's solved a bunch of puzzles, so he smart, and he has a great yelling voice.

Accordingto some people, to Link in SSB4 actually is the TP Link. So that's neat.

Oh, and one more thing... Lucaaaaasssssssssssssss! Roooooooooyyyyyyyyyy! Rrrrrrryyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuu!

That is all.

Anyways, without further adu, to the chapter!

Chapter 32: SherLucario Holmes: Ace Detective: The Note

It was a couple days after the whole incident at Moo Moo Meadows. Many people still believed that the Swarm was out there, but they weren't doing too much about it. Sure, Falco was running around the whole city, screaming "The end is near!" but nobody paid him much attention. The karters had arrived back just the day before, and everything was basically back to "normal." For now. Villager had been gone from Smash-City for a long time, and he hasn't had a chance to talk to his dear friend and fellow newcomer Mega Man. So, they were randomly walking around Smash-City, catching up on politics.

Just kidding. They were talking about chocolate.

"Look, even though I'm a robot, I can still eat chocolate! You ever tried chocolate flavored fuel? That stuff will blow you to another dimension!" Mega Man exclaimed. He held out his bottle of Choco-Fuel. "You want a taste?"

"No thanks. I'll stick with chocolate that won't kill me, thanks." Villager said. "What would you rather have right now? The chocolate coated roasted deku nuts from Link and Zelda's sweets stand, or the chocolate coated star bits from Rosalina's cafe? The first one literally stuns you with how good it is, and the other one has a literal out-of-this-world taste!"

"Well, that's no contest!" Mega Man said when Toon Link was past then. "The obvious better one is- whoa! What's that?" He pointed to an ancient Chinese-looking scroll that was flying through the air. It seemed to gravitate towards them, as if by magic. Mega Man held out his hands, and sure enough, the scroll landed right in them. "Woah?! What do you think's written on it?"

"I dunno. Probably an ad for Marth's knitting club. He loves Chinese stuff like this." Villager said, chuckling.

Mega Man opened it up. "Here's what it says…"

I no longer like you. My friends and i are strong and we can prove it! We kidnapped one of yours, one who usually is not kidnapped, and have taken the person to our land. You have 12 hours to prove we are stronger than you, and we will release the one. If not, we will torture the person and kidnap another.
-Dre het steb

"What? What's this about?" Mega Man asked.

"I have no idea! And who's this Dre het steb?" Villager asked.

Mega Man didn't have time to answer, for Lucario then showed up, calling to them. "Hey guys! What do you have in your possession right now?" Lucario walked up to them.

"Um... It's nothing." Villager said.

"Yeah! It's just a... a love letter!" Mega Man added.

"You're terrible liars." Lucario replied. "And I'm sensing a bit of uneasiness in your aura right now... Perhaps it has to do with this scroll of yours?"

"No! I mean... It's just that I've had a really stressful day and-"

"You're lying again!" Lucario said, smirking. Then, in a quick motion that Villager didn't even catch, Lucario snatched the scroll. He didn't even notice the missing scroll from his hands until Lucario was already reading it.

"Blah blah blah... Kidnapped? Murmur murmur murmur... 12 hours? Reading reading reading... Torture?!" Lucario looked at them alarmingly. "Were you two planning on telling anyone about this!" He shouted.

"Um... Well... We just got the note a few minutes ago, so..." Mega Man started.

"We were gonna say something! We swear!" Villager nodded.

"Good." Lucario closed his eyes, as if he was in thought. Quickly, he opened them up again. "Get to the stadium and get as many smashers as you can to get there as well. I'm calling an emergency Smash Meeting."

Mega Man gasped. "A Smash Meeting?"

"Yeah. You do know what that is, right?" Lucario asked.

Mega Man nodded. "Of course! Smash Meetings are emergency meetings that a few elite members of the smash roster can call in case there's a matter of utmost urgency. Only one Smash Meetings were ever held, when Giga Bowser started tearing up a nearby kingdom."

"Right." Lucario said. "Alright, now get a move on!" He shouted with so much force that they were literally blown into a running pace.

Within twenty minutes, the smashers had were claiming seats in the colosseum for themselves and their friends. Villager and Mega Man sat next to Sonic and Toon Link, where they finally came to a conclusion as to what chocolate treat was the best.

"Ahem! Excuse me, please!" Lucario yelled, calling for silence. After twenty more minutes of trying to get the smashers to stop talking, Lucario continued. "Ahem... So as you all know, I called for a Smash Meeting. Why I called for one is to be discussed. But first, I must address another issue. After taking roll call, I discovered that Pit and Dark Pit are missing. Does anybody know where they may be?"

"Maybe they're making out!" Ike yelled, earning a chuckle from those around him.

"Hey! This is not that kind of fanfic!" Fox shouted back. "Not that I have any problems with those fanfics, anyone can write what they want!"

"Guys, we have to be serious!" Lucario screamed.

"Maybe they just didn't get the message!" Robina suggested.

"Nah, I don't think so. My ocarina should've reached through the whole city." Link replied.

"What kind of ocarina can do that?"

"A magic one, Robina!"

"Oh my gosh..." Lucario mumbled, shaking his head. He could only watch helplessly as the smashers kept making elf guesses as to their location. He prayed to Mew that his suffering would end soon.

Thankfully, his prayers were answered, and Dark Pit rushed into the stadium, panting. His arrival silenced the entire stadium. He tried to take a seat discretely, but Lucario had a sharp eye.

"Dark Pit! Come here." Lucario said.

"I didn't do nothing!" Dark Pit said when he reached Lucario.

"Well... That's a bit suspicious of you to say. I haven't accused you of anything yet, after all." Lucario replied, smirking.

"W-what?"

"Why were you late?" Lucario asked.

"Well, I-um... I was... Eating." Dark Pit murmured.

I knew it. He's lying! Lucario thought triumphantly. "You wouldn't happen to know where Pit would be, would you?"

"N-no!" The dark angel replied hastily. "Why would I know where that lame-o would be?"

"Look, just tell the truth. Your punishment won't be as severe if you cough up now." Lucario said. All of the smashers looked at Dark Pit intensely.

Dark Pit looked around helplessly. None of the smashers believed his made-up alibi. Not even the less "intellectually advanced" ones. Finally, he sighed. "Fine... I beat him up."

"What?! Where is he now?"

"He's passed out in a nearby alley." Dark Pit said slyly. "I pushed him against a wall. Guess we know who's the better Pit now."

"Lead me to him, now!" Lucario ordered. "Villager, Mega Man! You're coming with me."

Dark Pit shrugged. "Fine."

When they arrived at the alley, Pit was nowhere in sight.

"What? He should be right here?" Dark Pit said.

"You mean he's missing?" Lucario asked, surprised. The kidnapping! I guess Dark Pit wasn't the sender after all.

"What are we gonna do? How are we gonna find him?" Villager asked.

"Without all the other auras blocking my view, I can try to find him using my aura sense.!" Lucario grunted. He tried sensing Pit's aura, but he found nothing within his range of vision. "It's no use! He's either out of the city or he's..."

"Hey, don't look at me like that!" Dark Pit yelled, referring to the death stares that Lucario, Villager, and Mega Man were giving him. "I wouldn't kill him! If he dies, I die!"

"So, if you're alive... Then that means that he must be alive as well!" Lucario deduced.

"Well, we better find him quick! The note says we only have 12 hours!" Villager said.

"Wait, what note?" Dark Pit asked.

"Never mind that." Lucario said. "Just split up and ask anyone if they've seen Pit around in the last few hours."

Lucario interviewed the smashers, Villager interviewed everyone in the Smash-Market, and Mega Man interviewed everyone in the residential area.

Toon Link, Palutena, and Dark Pit all reported seeing Link hanging out with Pit this morning. Thus, Link was put into custody on the spot as a suspect, much to his dismay. I mean, the only reason they were hanging out was because Pit was the one Link chose to accompany him for his first day of walking with crutches. And now he's in jail. With a broken arm and leg.

Viridi, Rosalina, and Meta Knight recalled that they saw Pit and Kirby having a competition of who could eat the most floor ice cream at the Smash-Market around noon. So, Kirby was thrown into police custody as well. Kirby didn't mind. It give the pink puffball a chance to sleep.

One last suspect did arise before sundown. While Mega Man was investigating Pit's home, he saw his calendar. Today's date was circled, and on it, written in pen, was the reminder to "Meet with Lucina at 2:00 p.m!" This threw tons of suspicion onto Lucina, and she was thrown into custody as well.

"They got you too, huh?" Link asked when Lucina was thrown into a cell with them.

"Yeah... But I'm innocent, I tell you!" Lucina yelled.

"Aren't we all..." Link sighed, petting a sleeping Kirby with his one good hand.

Afterwards, Villager, Mega Man, and Lucario met at Lucario's home to discuss plans.

"Well, it looks like we have three potential criminals on our hands." Lucario said.

"I don't get it. None of them seem like they would ever kidnap Pit!" Villager cried.

"Well... I guess that just means that one of them has a hidden side. A dark side..." Lucario concluded.

"Hey, what's with the bubble pipe?" Mega Man asked. "It kinda makes you look like Sherlock Holmes!"

"It helps me relax." Lucario shrugged. "Either way... One of them is not who they seem to be. And I'm going to find out who's the liar if it's the last thing I do! I swear I'll do it, or my name isn't SherLucario Holmes! Ace Detective!"

"B-but..." Villager said. "Thats not your name at all..."

A/N: Oh! A mystery! And the coolest thing is, even I don't know what's going to happen next!

Oh, and question of the chapter: which chocolate treat do you think would taste better?

Until next chapter!
