HoiHoiHoi, NyanToDaMax here, and welcome back to Smash Whodunnit! I'm really enjoying this series, and I hope you are too! Now let's see if you can figure it out!
~Nyan's POV~
"Hiyah!" I yelled, slashing at Wii Fit with my sword. Wii was thrown back to the other side of the stage. I dashed forward and slashed her off the stage.
"FALCON, PAWNCH!" I heard Captain Falcon yell. I was hit off the stage and thrown off. I felt a sucking feeling and saw a bright white light, and the next second I was standing on a platform above the stage. Then I saw the Smash Ball swoop over my head.
"The Smash Ball! MINE!" Wii gasped. She leaped into the air and hit the ball a few times. The platform below me disappeared, and I slashed at the ball a few times. Captain Falcon ran towards the Ball, and I was sure he was going to get it. I moved as far away from him as possible.
"AAAAAHHH!" Ike screamed, coming out of nowhere. His sword slammed into the Smash Ball and shattered it. I rushed to get away as quickly as possible, but that wasn't needed.
"EEEYYYAAAAAGGHHH!" Ike yelled as he was blasted off stage. The Smash Ball hadn't given him his Final Smash.
"GAME CANCEL!" Crazy Hand called into the mic. I felt a swooping sensation, and I found myself back in the Smash Launch center, in the tube that transported us in. The tubes hissed open, and I stepped out. Ike flopped out of his tube, as he was extremely dizzy. Crazy Hand and Master Hand rushed over to check if we were okay.
"What on earth was that? Was there a glitch?" Crazy Hand asked us. I shrugged, putting both of my hands up.
"How should I know? I'm not the one who got the Smash Ball." Captain Falcon growled. Wii looked just as confused. Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Hey Ike! What happened?" Marth cried as he slammed the door open. The rest of the Fire Emblem crew was behind him. Nayi followed close by, question marks filling the air around her. Pi trailed behind, her eyes hearts as she looked at Marth.
"Could you please explain what happened there? Why did the Smash Ball blow you off the stage?" Ike shook his head, confused.
"I don't know! I got it, and the next second, Boom!" Ike sighed. Master Hand sighed, confused.
"Nyan, are you capable of solving another mystery?" Master asked me. I brightened and whipped out my trusty clipboard and donned a detective hat that I got from a friend.
"Not to worry, Master Hand! With Detective Nyan and her friends on the case, this mystery is as good as solved!" I announced. Behind me, Nayi and Pi also whipped out their hats and magnifying glasses. Master looked amused.
"Alright. I trust that this mystery is in good hands." He chuckled.
"Alrighty then, chicken, how do we compile a list of suspects?" Nayi asked. I smiled smartly and tucked my pen behind my ear.
"Ask the Fire Emblem crew if they know anyone who has a grudge on Ike and- Pi where are you going?" I asked, grabbing her by the cuff of her shirt. Pi sighed and walked back to us.
"I wanted to interview Marth before you tell me no…" she sighed. I rolled my eyes, taking her and Nayi's clipboards and writing something on them.
"The people you're going to interview are written on your clipboards," I began, handing Nayi and Pi their clipboards, "Nayi, you talk with Kamui, Corrin, and Ike. Pi, you take Roy and Lucina. I'll interview Marth, Robin, and Reflet. Also, keep in mind that in the Smash Game this morning, the Smash Ball functioned perfectly." Pi sighed in defeat and trudged off. Nayi smiled, ate a cookie, and shot off in… some direction.
"Why can I never interview Marth? I always get someone else! Well if Nyan thinks she can keep me away from the love of- Oh, there's Roy!" Pi cried. Roy was talking with Kirby about something.
"Hey Roy!" Pi cried, strolling over. Roy looked up. Kirby waved enthusiastically.
"Hey Pi. Nice hat." he laughed. Pi shrugged and waved back at Kirby.
"Do you know who could have a grudge on Ike?" she asked. Roy thought for a second, tilting his head up.
"Ummm… maybe Little Mac? He and Ike are always arguing over food. Remember last dinner?" Roy said. Pi winced. Ike and Mac had gotten into an all out brawl over the last spicy chicken wing. While Master and Crazy were trying to pull them apart, Nyan ate the last chicken wing. She does love spicy chicken wings.
"Yea, good point. I'll look into that." Pi said, smiling. She noted: Little Mac may have a grudge against Ike.
"La-Dee-Doo, gonna interview some people, compile da suspect lissst… lalala… Oh HEY! CORRIN! KAMUI!" Nayi cried. She rushed over to the two. They were standing near the window in the dining room. They turned around as Nayi screeched to a stop next to them.
"WellColaI'mjustgoingtojumprightinwhodoyouknowmighthaveagrudgeagainstIke?" Nayi asked in one breath. The Kamui looked confused for a second, then answered,
"Oh, probably Samus. She and Ike have a huge rivalry going on after Ike beat Samus so badly last Tournament." Nayi smiled and wrote: Samus and Ike have a huge rivalry.
"Actually, what about Pit? Ike did beat him up last week for stealing his chicken wings." Corrin stated. Nayi raised her eyebrows and wrote: Pit might have done it, Ike beat him up last week for stealing his chicken wings.
"Lollipops, Okuuu, thanks for your time I've got to go now, lots more things to dooooooo!" Nayi cried, speeding off.
"Huh, where on earth could they be?" I sighed. I was looking for Marth, Robin, or Reflet. I walked past the Smash Control Room and spotted both Robin and Reflet.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked, walking in. Reflet and Robin were observing the Smash Ball maker. The maker was a tube with a Smash Ball hovering inside it. There was a computer on the side of it for programming. Robin looked up and beckoned me over.
"Here Nyan, look at this." I walked over and looked where Robin was pointing. It was a small computer on the side. The Smash Ball's functions were printed on it. I looked at it for a second and noticed something odd.
"Huh. Looks like someone set the Ball's functions to, "Knock-Back x100". Who did that?" I wondered. Reflet straightened up and brushed some hair out of her face.
"Hey Nyan, I think that anyone who would be able to do this needs to know at least something about technology." Relfet stated. I nodded, adding to my clipboard: Whoever did this needs to know at least something about technology.
"Who do you think has a grudge against Ike?" I asked, tapping a few keys on the keyboard. I turned the function back to "Final Smash". Robin looked thoughtful for a second.
"Probably Olimar. He's kind of tech-savvy, and he hates Ike for accidentally stepping on his Pikmin so much." Robin sighed. I nodded and wrote: Olimar is tech-savvy and hates it when Ike steps on his Pikmin.
"Thanks you two. Say, do you know where Marth could be?" I asked. Robin shrugged. Reflet looked thoughtful for a second.
"The Training Grounds? He does practice a lot." Reflet said. I thanked the Robins for their help and hurried off to find Marth.
"I think it might be Meta Knight. Ike loves to call him "Bat Wings", and it really pisses him off." Lucina said. Pi nodded slowly, writing: It might be Meta Knight. Ike teases him a lot.
"That's a good point, Lucina. We'll definitely look into it." Pi said to her. Licina waved as Pi left to go look for Nyan and Nayi.
"Hey Pi. Solving another case?" Pi heard someone ask her. Pi looked up to see Samus towering over her in her Zero Suit. Pi smiled and nodded.
"Yup! Someone sabotaged the Smash Balls so that Ike got blown off the stage. Do you know anyone who might have a grudge against him?" Pi asked. Samus looked a bit surprised for a second.
"Not that I could think of. He is an absolute jerk though. Absolutely trashed me last tournament…" Samus growled angrily, sulking away. Pi narrowed her eyes.
"Innnntresting…" Pi said, writing: Samus seems to want to get back at Ike.
"Hey Nayi, come over here a sec!" Nayi heard Reflet call to her. Nayi walked over cautiously, curious. Reflet was standing in the doorway of the Smash Control Room. She beckoned Nayi in.
"Well hot dogs, what is it?" Nayi asked. Reflet beckoned Nayi in and walked back inside. Nayi shrugged and walked in after her. Robin was standing next to the main computer screen, tapping some keys of the keyboard. Robin and Reflet were the most tech-oriented out of the whole Fire Emblem Crew.
"Nayi, check out the video of the Battle. We noticed something odd." Robin said. Nayi watched as the video from the last game replayed. The Smash Ball appeared, and Nayi saw Wii rush forward and hit the ball several times. Nyan hopped off her platform and slashed at the ball a few times. But Nayi noticed something odd. The Smash Ball's path, instead of drifting randomly around the stage, went straight to Ike. Ike jumped off a stage above and hit the ball, which blasted him off the stage.
"Well Burritos!" Nayi yelped, "It looks like the Smash Ball went straight to Ike!" Robin looked at the screen and raised his eyebrows.
"Interesting. Reflet, check the Smash Ball Maker's computer please?" Robin asked. Reflet check it and pointed to something on the screen.
"Yup. Someone set it to go straight to Ike. I've set it back to normal." she said. Nayi blinked and wrote: Someone set the Smash Ball's function to only follow Ike.
"Well chips, thanks guys! I'm gonna go look for Ike now!" Nayi cried. Nayi rushed out of the room and skipped down the corridor, wondering where Ike could be. Nayi turned to corner into the Main Hall. She heard rummaging in the kitchen and walked in to see Ike looking for a snack.
"Hey Ike! Can I ask you a few questions?" Nayi asked. Ike came out of a cupboard with a bag of chips and glanced at Nayi.
"Sure. What is it?" he asked. Nayi smiled sweetly.
"Who do you think might have a grudge against you? After all, I just replayed the video with Robin and Reflet, and the Smash Ball moved straight at you. So whoever did this must hate you." Nayi said. Ike looked shocked.
"What?! But who would hate me!? I'm such a likeable guy!" Ike cried. Nayi facepalmed.
"Well cheesecake, no clue, huh? I thought so." she sighed. Nayi walked out of the kitchen, leaving Ike happily eating his bag of chips.
I walked into the training room, looking around. I saw Wii hitting one of the beanbags, and Peach testing her aim. I saw Marth in another area, slashing at a bag. I walked up to him and waited for him to finish. Marth hit the beanbag off the stage.
"Hey Nyan. What's up?" he asked. I held up my clipboard.
"Marth, do you know who would have a grudge on Ike?" I asked him. Marth nodded, looking thoughtful.
"If you ask me, It's definitely Samus. She's got the best tech skills next to Olimar. Unless it's ROB or Megs. Actually, changed my mind. ROB. Remember that time Ike accidentally caused him to glitch by asking him what three divided by zero was?" Marth said. I nodded, interested.
"That is a good point. I think ROB's a good-natured robot though." I reasoned, writing: ROB has great tech skills, and might have a grudge against Ike.
"Thanks for your time, Marth I'd better get back to the other girls now." I said, waving goodbye.
"Okay guys, I'm compiled a suspect list from the evidence we got." I said. I held up my clipboard. It read: Little Mac, Samus (LIKELY), Pit (UNLIKELY), Olimar, Meta Knight (VERY UNLIKELY), and ROB.
"Samus?" Pi said suddenly, "I talked to her a few minutes ago. She seemed to really want to get back at Ike." I thought this was very interesting news.
"Huh, weird. We should look into that. Okay, here." I said, handing them their clipboards.
"Pi, you interview Little Mac and Olimar. Nayi, you ask ROB and Meta Knight. I'll interview Pit and Samus." Nayi and Pi grabbed their clipboards and sped off. I smiled and headed off too.
"Hey Pi. What's up?" Mac said. He was in the training room, taking a break after punching a sandbag around. Pi consulted her clipboard.
"Hey, Little Mac, did you sabotage the Smash Ball to kill Ike?" Pi asked. Mac looked confused.
"There's a way to sabotage the Smash Ball? Well I'd say Ike got what he deserved, that jerk, hogging all the chicken wings. Not sure where that chicken wing got to in the end." Mac ranted. Pi rqaised her eyebrows and added to her clipboard: Mac doesn't know how to sabotage the Smash Ball.
"Yeah, okay, thanks for the info." Pi said, slightly amused. Mac nodded and returned to punching sandbags. Pi turned around to leave when she heard a smashing sound.
"I think Mac punched another Sandbag out the window…" Pi sighed.
"Well potatoes, where is Meta Knight?!" Nayi screeched. Nayi was very mad. She hadn't found Meta Knight or ROB anywhere. A whirlwind appeared next to her, causing Nayi to leap into the air.
"You rang?" asked Meta Knight. An anime vein appeared on Nayi's head.
"META KNIGHT DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT OR I WILL KICK YOUR BUTT NEXT GAME!" Nayi screeched. Meta Knight put up his hands in mock surrender.
"Sorry Nayi. It was so tempting. Anyways, what do you need?" Nayi sighed as soon as her breathing and heart rate returned to normal.
"Okay Meta Knight, what do you know about Ike's total bomb during today's fight?" Meta Knight shrugged.
"How should I know what happened? I was in the forest taking a walk all day, I wasn't even there! YOU THINK I DON'T HAVE BAT WINGS, RIGHT!?" Meta Knight suddenly lashed out at Nayi. Nayi took a step back.
"Er, that's def your cape Meta. Okayyoudoyougottagobyeeeee" Nayi cried, speeding off and hurridely scribbling: Meta Knight was in the forest all day taking a walk.
I was strolling through the mansion, wondering if I should borrow Villager's mic to call Samus or Pit. I was walking past the window to the garden when I saw Pit lounging in the hammock, staring at the sky.
I rushed to the garden door and rushed outside.
"Hey Pit! Could I ask you a few questions?" I asked him. Pit started, tumbling off the hammock.
"Ow! Sorry, you scared me. What about?" Pit asked. I sweatdropped and cleared my throat.
"You saw today's battle, right? Do you know anything about what happened to Ike?" I asked. Pit winced.
"Yeah, sucks for him. I mean, he did beat me up, but it really does suck for something like that to happen to you." Pit sighed. I nodded, still skeptical.
"Then do you know anything about what happened to the Smash Ball?" I asked. Pit looked at the sky again.
"Not a clue. I guess someone messed with the thing, but I don't have the skills to, in case you're wondering. Just ask Lady Palutena." he sighed. I nodded.
"Thanks for your time, Pit." I said, walking off. I added: Pit doesn't have the skill to hack any computers.
Pi wandered through the corridors. She wondered where Olimar was. She was about to check the library when she spotted a few Pikmin scurrying along in the corridors, carrying a wheel of sorts.
Pi strolled after them, wondering where they were going. The Pikmin turned to corner into the Lab, where Olimar was tinkering with something.
"Hey Olimar, what's up?" Pi asked. Olimar turned around, and Pi caught the frame of a robot on the lab table.
"What do you know about what happened to Ike?" Pi asked. Olimar looked at her, confused.
"Well, the person who sabotaged the Smash Ball definitely has great tech skill. I can tell you it wasn't me, though. Ike's always killing my Pikmin, but it's usually an accident." Olimar said good-naturedly.
"So you had nothing to do with it?" Pi asked, skeptical. Olimar nodded and returned to his robot. Pi left him to his work, adding: Olimar knew nothing about it, and he's a good-natured guy.
"Hey Nayi! What's up?" Nayi turned around to see Nana and Popo walking towards her.
"Well marshmallows, hey guys. 'Sup?" Nayi asked. Nana walked up to her with a concerned look on her face.
"Nayi, I have to tell you: I saw someone wearing red go into the Smash Control room before Ike's game." she said. Nayi raised her eyebrows and added to her clipboard: Nana saw someone wearing red go into the Smash Control room.
"Thanks Nana. Do you happen to know where ROB is?" Nayi asked. Popo pointed to the Main Hall.
"I think he's testing out a custom move in the Main Hall." he said. Nayi thanked them and rushed off.
"Alrighty, now where-AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!" Nayi screamed as ROB landed right in front of her.
"Hello there Nayi. Do you want to talk to me about Ike's complete bomb during today's game. Yes I already know because of reasons that you would never understand. I know for a fact the Samus and Ike have huge grudges against each other so the chances that it is Samus are very high. Yes I do know Ike caused me to glitch but it was an accident now if you'll excuse me I have to go good talking to you." Rob said this all very quickly, then he sped off.
Nayi blinked in confusion, and slowly wrote: ROB is good natured, and he thinks that it's Samus for sure.
"Hey, Samus!" I called. Samus turned around, looking surprised. She was in her robot suit now. I had found her on the third floor.
"Samus, what do you know about Ike's-"
"Didn't I already answer to one of you? Well let me tell you again- he deserved it." she growled. I raised my eyebrows and added: Samus seemed really mad at Ike.
"Er, thanks Samus." I said, heading back to the lounge.
"Okay, what did we get?" I asked Nayi and Pi. We were finally reviewing our clues in the lounge.
"We didn't get enough clues. I don't know who the culprit is." Pi sighed. I started to smile. Nana had given me a crucial detail.
"Not necessarily. I think I know who did it."
Okay, you know the drill! Let's review the suspects first: Little Mac, Samus (LIKELY), Pit (UNLIKELY), Olimar, Meta Knight (VERY UNLIKELY), and ROB. Now let's review the clues:
-in the Smash Game this morning, the Smash Ball functioned perfectly.
-Whoever did this needs to know at least something about technology.
-Someone set the Smash Ball's function to only follow Ike.
-Mac doesn't know how to sabotage the Smash Ball.
-Meta Knight was in the forest all day taking a walk.
-Pit doesn't have the skill to hack any computers.
-Olimar knew nothing about it, and he's a good-natured guy.
-Nana saw someone wearing red go into the Smash Control room.
-ROB is good natured, and he thinks that it's Samus for sure.
-Samus seemed really mad at Ike.
Okay, have you figured it out? Keep scrolling to see if you're right…
"You know who did this?" Master Hand asked us. I smiled smugly and held up my clipboard. Crazy Hand had gathered the suspects and the Fire Emblem Crew in Master Hand's office.
"When you put all the clues together, it's easy! The person who sabotaged the Smash Ball is…" I began. Even before I said who she culprit was, I could see them shifting uncomfortably.
"OH MY GOD WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAUSE EVERY TIME YOU SAY THE CULPRIT!? IT'S SAMUS!" Pi screeched. Samus tried to sneak out of the room, but Marth slashed at her with his sword.
"Geez, Pi, fine." I sighed. Master Hand swooped towards Samus, looking angry.
"What possessed you to do this?" Master Hand asked dangerously. Samus looked around for an escape route and, seeing none, sighed.
"Okay, fine, yes, but it was because he rubbed it in my face that he won last game." she growled. I smiled.
"Just as I thought. You should've been more careful in sneaking into the Smash Control Room. Nana saw someone wearing red go in. You have a red suit." I said.
"You've got a lot of tech skill, so clearly you could easily reprogram the Smash Ball. Also, you really hate Ike, soooo…" Pi added. Samus sighed in defeat.
Samus was charged with cleaning the basement.
Wheeew sorry this took so long! With everything I was doing, I barely had time to write my stories. I hope this one wasn't too complicated.
