Also, to Boi: Okay, enough. I get it. I know that deep down, you're a good person and all, but I've had enough. This is MY story, and you have no say in it. I may be open to suggestions, but I'm getting sick of this one. Just listen for one sec, alright? If I ever wanted to put in an Undertale character in this series as a small cameo, I'll do it. If I wanted to put some music in there if the mood calls for it, I'll gladly do it. If I ever want to reference something from it, I'll do It! But this has to be on MY terms. Not yours.

BGM: (When) Your Middle Name is Danger (Red vs Blue)

"Spill it. What is so important?" Washington asked.

Meta growled deeply at Washington.

"You want my help? And what would that be?" Wash asked, and was responded with another growl. "Join you? On what, another one of your rampages? Getting your hands on more A.I. and Freelancer equipment?"

Meta's replied with another growl.

"Destroy someone? Sorry, I got other plans…" Washington declined and walked off.

Until another of Meta's growls stopped him in his tracks. The Freelancer didn't know if he should be glad or not that he could understand the Meta, but to make it easy for you lovely people, his growls will be translated.

"Like what, screaming and wondering how the Mushroom Kingdom makes sense and how you desperately want to go back?"

"…How'd you know?"

"I have my ways."

"…Riiiight, anyway, don't you have some other team to get to? I heard from Sarge on the plane that RWBY has this doppleganger team messing with them, while one of them is this brute with a dome-head and what can only be described as a knifle. Seems to fit your description."

"Indeed, it does." Meta signed with a nod. "However, those dark teenagers have been losing constantly every time they face RWBY, they lost Dark Yang for Pete's sake. I've been planning on leaving and resuming my own agenda."

"On getting more A.I? Well, good for you… anyway, I got my own things to worry about, see you later."

Meta growled and pulled out his Brute Shot, firing a shot directly in front of Washington, not exactly hitting him but it made him jump.

"Gah!" Washington turned to him. "What is your problem, Maine?!"

"You're actually asking me that?"

"…Oh… never mind! What is it that is so important?"

"That red haired warrior that's with them. Does she remind you of anyone?"

"Ruby?"

"No, the other one."

"That… Pyrrha chick?"

"Yes."

Washington was silent for a moment. "…No, and I'd rather that we forget about it."

"I can tell you're hesitating, so you do know something."

"Alright, fine, she looks a lot like Carolina! Even sounds like her…"

"So I'm not going crazy." Meta mused.

"What about her?"

"I need you to help me get rid of her. The sooner we get rid of that woman, the better."

"Why do you want to get rid of her? She's actually very polite and… well, extremely different from Carolina."

"You know how I feel about Carolina!"

"Right, right… my mistake. So, what's in it for me?"

"If you help me, I can help you get out of this world."

Washington folded his arms. "Really… is that so?"

"Yes."

"…I dunno about this…" Washington quietly said. Wash had a feeling the Meta had a way to travel through dimensions, considering the last time he and the Reds and Blues encountered the killer, before being transported to the Mushroom Kingdom, was after he took the Delta A.I. "On the one hand, it seems tempting, but… on the other… give me some time to figure it out."

Meta growled, not liking the way he said that. "…Fine. You know where to find me." He said and then disappeared.

End BGM

Washington walked out. "That's tempting… that's really tempting, but do I want to do it to them like that?" He wondered. "Sure, I hate it here but… ugh, don't let this get to you, Wash… you're stronger than this. Don't let him get to you."


Meanwhile, at Gelato Beach…

BGM: Gelato Beach (Super Mario Sunshine)

"HIYAAAAH!" Yang yelled, punching the Plexi glass hard enough, but to no avail. "Seriously…?"

"Yeah, someone else tried to do that, but that didn't work either." The female Pianta said. "This thing's never coming out." She sighed. "Anyway, relax a bit! Have a smoothie! Enjoy the Watermelon Festival!"

"I'll enjoy it once I get that Shine Sprite…" Yang grumbled as she walked out of the hut, where she returned to another hut where Sakura, Elise and their retainers were at, talking amongst themselves.

"So how'd it go?" Elise asked.

"Nothing." Yang sighed. "That Shine Sprite's never coming out." She said and looked at Effie. "Hey, have you tried-"

"It withstood my punch. I couldn't believe it either." Effie said.

"How long was it since your last meal?" Elise asked.

"Five minutes ago."

"Okay, what's that Plexi Glass made out of?!" Elise exclaimed in surprise.

"Give me five minutes with it, I'll tear it down." Hana said.

"Hmm…" Sakura wondered, as she was drinking out of her banana mango smoothie. "This might sound crazy, but what if you pick out a watermelon, take it to the hut and then when you win, you throw it into the blender thing and the juice will either flood the thing and bring the Shine Sprite to the top, or it'll clog the blender and you can easily take it off and grab the Shine Sprite?"

"Watermelon juice clogging the blender… I don't see how that's possible." Subaki said.

"Yeah, that might not work." Hana told her.

Sakura sighed. "Worth a try…"

"…I do like that though." Yang said. "So! How many watermelons are left?"

"From what I could tell… two." Arthur said.

"They were either taken to be judged at the hut, or… mom ate the rest." Percy said, as they turned to Effie who was licking her fingers.

"…What?" She asked innocently.

"I'll go take a look." Yang said as she walked out of the hut and saw one nearby as she picked it up and then looked ahead, where she saw tons of red Cataquacks walking around and with a deep breath, she walked forward. "Excuse me, pardon me, coming through!" She said, making sure not to make any one of them angry as she walked over to the hut and then put the watermelon down. "Alright, fill 'er up!"

"Ooof… that one's too small." The Pianta mused. "No no no, it just won't do! It's smaller than the other contestants! Sorry." He said as he tossed it into the water.

"Aww…" Yang pouted a bit before turning around and seeing another one nearby, looking to be a little bigger… but the problem was, it looked square, but Yang didn't care. She picked it up and walked back over, setting it down. "Alright, how about this?"

The Pianta facepalmed. "No no no no! Whoever designed this has a sense of humor… the watermelon is supposed to be round, not square! Sigh, I suppose those other watermelons will have to do."

"Oh come on!" Yang exclaimed in frustration as she walked away, wondering what to do since the first watermelon was too small, the other was square and didn't qualify… the other problem was either everyone got another watermelon… or Effie ate them all.

"Dammit, Effie…" Yang grumbled a bit and then as she casually looked over at the palm trees… she saw something that caught her eye. Something protruding at the top of the hill… something huge and round… and green. "What the…?" She wondered as she went over to check it out and then when she got to the top, there she saw it… the biggest watermelon that she's ever seen.

"Oh. My. God. It's beautiful!" Yang grinned, as she imagined pushing it down the hill and having it roll down to the beach where she could roll it toward the hut, win the contest, get that pesky Shine Sprite and have herself a delicious watermelon smoothie.

"Hehehe, this will be a cakewalk." She said as she simply pushed it down the hill where it came to a gentle stop on the beach. "Ha! Perfect!" She grinned… and then a Red Cataquack walked to it, flipped it up in the air and walked away while the Watermelon came crashing down with a splat.

Yang's eye twitched. "ARE YOU KIDDING?! THAT WAS THE LAST ONE!" She yelled as she turned around… and saw the watermelon growing in front of her. "Oh! Well, never mind then!" She said as she started to pick it up and started to run down the hill… where she lost her balance and faceplanted on the sand. "OOOF!"

She got up to see the same Cataquack doing the same thing to it.

"Oh come on!" Yang growled as she ran back up and then decided to punch the watermelon to the hut… where it landed perfectly on the dock, but strangely enough, it rolled to a corner… and suddenly exploded. "WHAT." She yelled, as she then picked up the watermelon and threw it… only she overshot it and landed in the water, where several Cheep Cheeps had quite the meal. "SON OF A…!" Yang screamed.


Several failed attempts later…

A Pianta called out to her. "HEEEEY! HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY?" He yelled.

"OH SHUT UP!" Yang yelled, looking quite annoyed and a bit of an insane look in her eyes.

"Yeesh… touchy." The Pianta sweatdropped as Yang threw the Watermelon on the trampoline where it flew high in the air… and hit a poor Wingull that was minding its own business as the watermelon came to an abrupt stop and fell like a rock… where it was picked up by a Cataquack and splatted on contact.

Yang took a deep breath, trying not to lose her cool even though these dumb Cataquacks was testing her patience as she gently rolled the Watermelon to the edge. "I can feel this… I can do it. This one's in the bag. I will not let this get to me!" She declared and gently pushed it down the hill where she smiled… and then saw it turn a bit and smacked the bottom of the Shine Tower, where it bounced to one of the mirrors, to a tree… to another tree, it basically became a game of Pinball while Yang was cringing the whole time, desperately not wanting this precious Watermelon to be destroyed where the watermelon missed all the Cataquacks before it came to a gentle stop in front of the hut.

"Huh? Phew… that was close." Yang sighed with relief… aaaaand the Red Cataquack walked over to it and flipped it over.

SPLAT!

End BGM

Yang's eye twitched as her whole body trembled, her eyes turning red and her hair burst into flames and let out a loud scream where a stream of fire launched high into the sky, where everyone on the whole island saw the stream of fire.

That… was the final straw.

Yang then launched herself toward the beach and punched the ground hard enough to create a small crater and knocked a few Cataquacks away.

BGM: I Burn (RWBY)

All the Cataquacks turned to look at her while the others snapped out of it… and they proceeded to charge right at her, but Yang wasn't having it as she quickly punched the daylights out of them. She used an uppercut on one that sent it flying high into the ocean and into the water where it drowned in an instant while the other Cataquacks ganged up on her.

One of them bit her hair… which was a fatal mistake as she grabbed it and threw it hard enough toward the shack as she was busy taking care of the rest, while the Cataquack smacked into the Plexi Glass and actually shattered it while it went right into the water.

"Oh… NOW it breaks?!" The female Pianta asked.

Yang, meanwhile, was still going to down on the Cataquacks as she summoned her Xiao Long Arm and knocked several of them flying away to which some of them somehow survived this while the others were either killed or drowned in the water until there was one left where it proceeded to try and ram her but she quickly punched it hard enough to send it into the ocean… and then there were no Red Cataquacks left.

End BGM

Yang finally calmed down and breathed deeply as she then walked over to get the huge Watermelon from the hill while Sakura and the others had witnessed the whole thing.

"Sh-She scares me a little…" Sakura admitted.

"Wow… I've never seen anyone go insane over a watermelon." Hana said.

"I would've eaten it." Effie said.

"Ma… I think I don't WANT to be like Yang when I grow up." Percy said, having paled a bit.

"If… If I ever go insane, someone stop me." Sakura requested.

"Oh come on, you don't have any insanity in you! Nothing could make you snap!" Elise smiled. "…Well, except that one Piranha Plant that messed with you." She said.

"I'd like to forget about that..." Sakura shuddered as Yang rolled the Watermelon to the hut.

"Hit me." She said.

"Well… I think you scared off the other participants." The Pianta said. "Not to mention that your roughhousing with the Cataquacks actually freed the Shine Sprite."

"Oooh! Cool!" Yang grinned. "…Where is it?"

"It took off. You probably scared it away and it ran away to the Shine Gate."

"Aww…"

"Here, have a consolation prize! A watermelon smoothie!"

"Thanks." Yang said and started to drink it.


Several hours later…

Pit emerged out of a Warp Pipe and launched himself near the cannon to Pinna Park. "A Warp Pipe leading me to red coins… well, at least I got this." He said, as the Shine Sprite flew off back to the Shine Gate as he casually walked back. "Alright, just need to get this to Ruby and-"

"This is a D.E.B.S. Alert: The hotel in Sirena Beach has disappeared and large amounts of goop are at Sirena Beach as we speak. We urge to exercise extreme caution should you go to Sirena Beach."

"…Uh oh…" He said as he ran over to the Warp Pipe on top of the building and went straight to Sirena Beach, landing on the sand and walked over where they saw the others standing there. "Hey! I heard the news!"

"Fantastic… but how are we getting this hotel back?" Qrow asked.

"What happened?" Mario asked.

"Well, I was making my usual rounds when this thing started to come out of nowhere from the ocean and spread goop everywhere until my beautiful hotel sunk to the bottom of the ground! I don't even know what to do!" The Hotel Manager sighed.

"What did it look like?" Peach asked.

"Well, it was huge, it was white, it was ghostly-"

Luigi paled at this. "Gh-ghostly?"

"And it was in the shape of-… shape of…" The Pianta saw something emerging from the water. "AAAAAAH! IT'S BACK! EVERYONE PANIC!" He yelled as he took off running.

"I am detecting a large enemy coming out of the water." FLUDD said as they turned around to see a phantom manta ray slowly coming out of the water, and spreading electric goop everywhere. This was none other than Phantamanta.

BGM: Vs Phantamanta (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Oh my goodness!" Toadsworth exclaimed.

"We'll take care of this! CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!" Captain Toad yelled, pulling out his axe as he and the other Toads ran straight for the manta ray, but once Captain Toad touched it, he was flung back. "WAAAAAAH!"

"Man down!" Green Toad exclaimed.

"RETREAT! RETREEEEAT!" A Blue Toad yelled as they quickly ran off.

"Our heroes…" Guzma groaned.

"Looks like we'll take care of this!" Daisy said, cracking her knuckles as they quickly attacked it, but they were soon knocked away from the massive manta.

"Physical attacks seem to not phase it." FLUDD said.

"Well, in that case…" Umber brought out a Pokeball. "Time for my star Pokemon to come out… LET'S GO!" He yelled, throwing it up in the air and out came Decidueye.

"Row!" Pueo cried and flew over to Decidueye who looked at the small Rowlet and made a little smirk as Luigi's other Pokemon came over to help, while Guzma called out his Pokemon.

"Alright, Golisopod! Let's show it who's boss!" Guzma ordered.

"Goliso!"

Decidueye jumped up in the air and fired a simple arrow at the manta ray, to which Phantamanta groaned in pain while Affection and Affectio used Shadow Ball to have it groan in pain before it suddenly split in two.

"What the… it split?!" Jaune asked.

"Attacks from the physical body do not hurt it. Weapons and other attacks will hurt it… and it has a weakness for water." FLUDD said, done analyzing Phantamanta.

"Ironic since it came out of the ocean!" Jen said and shot up the two manta rays, and then it split up even more. "You gotta be kidding me!" She said as Mario had FLUDD split up Phantamanta even more to which everyone was attacking them, while a smaller manta ray snuck up behind Nora and touched her.

"WHOOOOA!" She yelled, as she flew straight for the Electric Goop.

"Nora!" Phoenix yelled as he had summoned a desk out of nowhere and slammed it down on two small manta rays before slapping one away with paperwork.

"She'll be fine!" Ruby said, firing shots from Crescent Rose as Nora hit the Electric Goop and when she got electrocuted, she simply smirked and suddenly had an idea to which she started collecting all the goop within the area and when she was done, she stored it into her hammer and switched to the grenade launcher where she jumped high into the air.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Nora laughed maniacally and shot goop filed grenade launchers right at Phantamanta, destroying several of them… while one hit Grif by accident.

"BZZZT! YOOOOOOW!" Grif yelled, pulling the trigger on his gun by accident and shooting several mini mantas down… and almost shot Sarge in the foot.

"Hey! Watch where you're pointing that thing, itchy trigger finger!" Sarge said, shooting one down with his shotgun.

"Are you sure Nora's not mentally unstable?" Church asked.

"She's just really hyper." Ren replied where Elise let out a healthy dose of fire magic at a few of them while Sakura fired her arrows with Pit, where the little manta rays suddenly started turning red.

"Now they're coming toward us!" FLUDD warned.

"Not for long!" Mona yelled as she punched the ground to create a small crater and launched some debris up to where she punched them hard enough to skewer a few manta rays where Mario did a spin jump and sprayed FLUDD everywhere to kill several of them while a few of them went over to Lillie.

"Lillie! Look out!" Guzma exclaimed as Lillie quickly grabbed a torch and whacked them over the head with them, burning them in the process and eliminating them.

"…Did I do it?" Lillie asked.

"That's not exactly how you do it with a torch, but that'll work!" Guzma said where team JINX quickly took out several of them, with Xena stabbing a few, Nyx shooting some up with Iris, and Jade shot out some ice from her Poltergust.

Meanwhile Peach dug underground and pulled out a Bob-omb. "Oh!" She grinned and then threw it at few small manta rays where Weiss froze a few and Blake slashed through them until there was only five left.

"I'll take care of this." Umber said. "Hey Decidueye, let's end this!" He said and touched the Z-Ring on his wrist to which he did a unique pose while Decidueye glowed brightly with a slight smirk and then activated his Z-Move to which he jumped in the air. "Sinister Arrow Raid!" He yelled to where Decidueye summoned several arrows and flew down, dive bombing the small manta rays before flying up in the air and the arrows surrounded the manta rays, then it exploded and killed the rest of them.

End BGM

"And that's how you do it." Umber chuckled, high fiving Decidueye.

"…Whoa." Luigi said in amazement while Pueo was completely in awe over what it'd become.

"So, I see you have a shiny variant of a Rowlet. I like it." Umber said, where the whole place started to rumble and then Hotel Delfino rose from the ground while the electric goop disappeared… and then a Shine Sprite emerged from the top of the hotel and landed in front of the others.

"Well, that is another shiny caught, thanks to this Faunus right here!" Mona grinned.

Yang groaned. "For the last time, you're not a Faunus!"

Thank you… someone else who agrees with me! Jen thought.

"Yang, for the last time, I am a Faunus!"

"Oh please, like you could actually pass as one."

"I can too and I can prove it!"

"Oh yeah? Do you have any proof? I don't see any!"

"…Is it me, or does Yang sound a little… stressed?" Weiss asked.

"You should've seen her at Gelato Beach…" Elise told her.

"…So that stream of fire was-"

"Yup."

"…What happened now?" She asked with a groan.

"I'm telling you… that you are NOT a Faunus!"

"Yes, I am!" Mona yelled.

"No, you're not!"

"YES… I… AM!" She yelled, and in one split second, she quickly punched Yang straight to the beach.

"Uh oh…" Ruby quietly said.

"We'll… meet you in the hotel." Qrow said, grabbing Tai before he could say anything.

Mona walked over to the beach, glaring at Yang. "When will you realize that I am a Faunus?!" She yelled… and then got a shotgun fist to the gut by Yang.

"You… You're gonna regret that." She glared.

"You wanna rumble? Well let's rumble!" Mona said, cracking her knuckles.

"Shouldn't we do something?" Camrin asked.

"I wouldn't. Once Yang is angry… there's no stopping her." Blake said.

"…Oh boy." Anthony sweatdropped.

"Alright! Cat fight!" Tucker cheered.

"My money is on the shotgun gauntlets!" Sarge said.

BGM: Bang Bang (Hollywood Undead)

Mona quickly ran toward Yang and punched her repeatedly, but Yang blocked the attack and punched her in the gut followed by an uppercut as she jumped up in the air and jumped up and punched her into the sand where Yang landed on the ground.

Mona got back up and punched the ground to kick sand up in the air and since Yang was close to her, it got some sand in her eyes as she quickly punched her in the gut repeatedly and then punched her in the face, followed by a roundhouse kick that kicked her to the small wall.

Yang growled and launched herself, summoning her Xiao Long Arm and swung it at her, to which Mona jumped to the side and kicked her in the side before punching her in the head, but then Yang used an uppercut as a counter to knock her back and then she put it away, where she fired her gauntlets at her, smacking her in the chest a few times.

"Nnngh…" Mona winced as she ran toward Yang, dodging an attack from her and countered her by punching her in the face, but Yang kneed her in the gut and then kicked her in the knee before using another uppercut, before jumping up and scissor kicking her down to the ground.

Mona got back up, already feeling exhausted. I gotta end this! She thought as she ran forward and punched Yang, but she countered the attack with a punch.

Let's see if this works, Ryu… Yang thought and then punched her a few times until she did a jumping uppercut. "SHORYUKEN!" She screamed, launching Mona high into the air until she landed on the ground, as she tried to get up, but passed out from the pain and exhaustion.

End BGM

"I told you… you're not a Faunus…" Yang panted, wincing from a few bruises that she got from the fight and saw that Mona wasn't getting up. "Ah geez…" She said as she picked up the unconscious woman. "Sorry about that." She said, noticing her pendant in the sand as she picked it up and walked over to the hotel. "Hey, we probably need a medic over here!"

"Coming!" Sakura said as she and Elise came by as they went into the main lobby of the hotel and gently put her down on a couch where she was groaning in agony as Doc, Sakura and Elise were patching her up.

"Well, that was quite the fight. You okay?" Jaune asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm just a little bruised." Yang replied and then put the locket on Mona's chest. "I think this belongs to her."

"You know… I wonder why she believe she's a Faunus in the first place?" Blake wondered.

"Maybe she has an animal trait that's invisible! That's a thing, right?" Elise asked.

"It's not impossible."

"Maybe she was dropped on her head as a baby." Church quietly said.

"Oh, don't be like that!" Tucker said.

"Well… there's only one way to find out about this." Anthony said to where Weiss was the one to take the pendant from Mona.

"Ugh… w-wait…" Mona groaned.

"Save your strength." Sakura quietly said and then Weiss opened it up to which her eyes widened.

"Oh… Oh my…" She whispered.

"What is it?" Ruby asked.

"In this pendant, it shows Mona and her mother as humans, but her father? He's a Faunus." Weiss said, tossing the others the pendant to the others where they saw it.

"So… her father is a Faunus. I can see why she would think she's a Faunus, right?" Sun asked.

"I'm… not sure." Neptune replied.

Mona sighed deeply. "May I… see that for a moment?" She asked as Weiss gave it back to her, to which she looked at the pendant as a tear escaped her eye.

BGM: Kairi III (Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix)

"So… what if I am not a Faunus physically?" She asked herself. "I will always be a Faunus at heart."

"Oh for fuck sake! We just proved you're not a Faunus!" Church said. "For the love of God, you are not-"

"Will you be quiet for one second?" Camrin asked. "Just let her believe what she wants to believe. Human. Faunus. Whatever. It doesn't matter. She's still the same girl we all know and love. We all still love her the same, I love her the same way. Nothing will change that."

"But… agh, fine…"

"Just let it go, Church… just let it go." Sarge quietly said.

"Yeah, letting it go would be advisable. She's had a rough life." Anthony said.

"I was… raised by a family friend. He was a Faunus just like my father." Mona spoke up. "I was thrown out of my own home when I was a young age. My pendant is the only memento I have of my parents. I was born and raised in the kingdom of Vacuo… and I started to believe that I too, was a Faunus, and I proudly wore it like a badge of honor… but no one in the town treated me right after that. After I came out that I was a Faunus, I was chased out of the town and being called horrible names. That whole discriminatory thing involving Faunus? I thought it was just a myth until I faced it myself. When I was chased out, I found this cave and practically evicted out all the Grimm out of this world so I could call it my home. I've lived off the land ever since."

"So… you were kicked out because everyone was an idiot to believe that you're a Faunus when you're not." Qrow said. "That's a hell of a town, if you ask me. Bunch of idiots running the place if they believed a regular human girl was a Faunus. Tch… pathetic."

Jen's eyes had widened, as a tear escaped her eye. "So that's why… you never had anyone to raise you like true parents ever since you were kicked out, over something that wasn't true. I don't know what came into your parent's minds to have raised you like that. I wish I had known sooner, Mona. I… I want to apologize for being such a hardass to you all those times before and for being such a bad teammate. All along I thought you were living in some fantasy you made up but… seeing how that belief of yours was such a big part of your life, I'm… I'm sorry… I…"

Mona, without even saying a word, got up, wincing from the pain as the three medics were still working on her, went over and wrapped Jen into a hug. "I forgive you, Jen… we are more than teammates. We are family."

"Mona…" Jen quietly said and returned the hug.

"It's understandable… families have their own arguments. It's perfectly natural." Camrin chuckled a bit where Mona turned to Yang.

"Sorry about… losing my temper earlier." She said.

Yang sighed. "It's alright… I shouldn't have retaliated like that." She said.

"So… friends?"

Yang smiled. "Friends." She said. "And honestly, I don't care if you're a Faunus or not, you're still a badass chick in my eyes." She said, giving her a thumbs up with a wink.

Mona giggled. "Thank you!" She said and hugged Yang.

"Aww…" Weiss smiled.

Faunus or not, even she got treated poorly… Blake thought. This is getting out of hand.

"Alright, let's all get some sleep. We got another day of collecting Shine Sprites." Tai said as they all nodded in agreement.

The next day, at Ricco Harbor…

BGM: Ricco Harbor (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Fish! Get your fish here!" A Pianta exclaimed as Peach, the Toad Brigade and Toadsworth were walking nearby.

"Oh, what kind of fish?" Peach asked.

"Glad you asked! Just take this fishing pole and get the fish in the tank! Whatever you pull up, you'll win and you can take home and eat it!"

"Interesting…" Peach mused as she took the fishing pole and dipped it into the tank… and then when she got a bite, she quickly reeled it up and a Feebas came out.

"That's the ugliest thing I've seen." Captain Toad said.

"You can put it back, right?" Toadette asked.

"You can if you want to… which I highly recommend." The Pianta said.

"Hmm, I'll keep it. It looks cute!" Peach said.

"CUTE?!" Everyone yelled.

"Yes. It looks too cute to throw it back in the tank and to be eaten. I'm keeping this."

"…Is the sun getting to your head? I've seen Lumineon cuter than this." The Pianta said.

"No. I'm keeping it." Peach said, unhooking the Feebas from the mouth and stroking its head, to which it let out a smile.

"…Well, this rarely happens but, if you don't want to take it home and eat it, then…" The Pianta gave Peach a Dive Ball. "Here ya go."

"Thank you." Peach said and lightly touched it with the Dive Ball, to which it went in and with three shakes and a click, Feebas was hers to which she giggled.

"Princess, I'm uh… not sure how I feel about you thinking that ugly thing is cute." Toadsworth said.

"What may look ugly to some, it may look cute to another." Peach said. "Another man's trash is another man's treasure after all… or in this case, fish." She said with a giggle.

"Eh, more power to her." Captain Toad shrugged as they kept walking where they noticed a lone Purple Yoshi resting nearby.

"Oh! What's a Yoshi doing here?" Blue Toad wondered.

"Yoshis are native here in Delfino, but they all seem to have run off somewhere. It seems they're slowly returning from whatever scared them off." A Pianta informed.

"Huh, neat." Toadette said as they walked around and saw something shining on a caged platform. "Oh! A Shine Sprite!"

"Oh! It's way over there." Peach said.

"How are we going to get over there?" Captain Toad asked. "…Peach?"

"I can float for five seconds but that's it." She told her. "Not to mention these Cheep Cheeps might grab me by the foot."

"Fair enough. How are we going to get across then?"

"Yo Yo!" The Purple Yoshi came over to them with a smile, requesting Peach to get on him.

"Uh… okay." Peach said as she got on him as he got up front and watched the Cheep Cheeps. "So… are you going to jump on them or-" The Purple Yoshi suddenly spit out purple juice, hitting the Cheep Cheeps where they became platforms. "Oh my goodness!"

"WHAT?!" The others yelled as Yoshi hopped on the platform to where the platform safely made it to another where Yoshi jumped on it, and did the same thing a few more times as they eventually got to the highest platform and the Yoshi juice dissolved the goop barrier and happily hopped in and grabbed the Shine Sprite.

"That is not your average Yoshi!" Toadette exclaimed, where the platforms turned back into Cheep Cheeps, seemingly unfazed by what happened to them a few seconds before as they the Yoshi did the same thing as they made it safely across.

"I'm… not sure what happened, but I'll take it!" Peach said.

"Indeed." Toadsworth nodded.

At the Plaza…

Mario came out of the doors, holding another Shine Sprite where FLUDD was in his Turbo Nozzle, though he looked a bit bewildered. "That was… interesting." He said.

"I don't think I have used that much water in my life." FLUDD admitted.

"Hey Mario!" Daisy came over to him. "You've gotta check this place out! You have that weird rock that E. Gadd gave you, right?"

"Yeah?" Mario asked as Daisy grabbed him by the arm and took him to a building where he noticed an E. Gadd logo on the front door as they walked in.

"Hello!" A Scientist Pianta waved. "Welcome to the E. Gadd Restoration Lab! I am one of E. Gadd's many friends and actually works for him! This bad boy just came in the other day! What would you like to restore?"

"Well, E. Gadd gave us these two stones." Daisy said. "I was wondering what they were."

"Let me take a look here… oooh… these are not ordinary stones! These are fossils! Pokemon fossils to be exact!" He beamed. "Oh, this is gonna be exciting!" He said. "Now, Daisy… you have the Jaw Fossil, correct?"

"Yeah."

"Royalty first!" He said as he put it in and turned it on, where a few seconds later, they heard a ding… and a small Tyrunt jumped out.

"Oh! You look cool!" Daisy said with a smile, to which the Tyrunt looked at her… and then tackled her, his tail wagging and nuzzling Daisy's cheek. "H-hey! Stop! That tickles! HAHAHA!"

"Now, this right here is the Sail Fossil." He said and put it in, and a few seconds later, there was a ding and an Amaura came out, to where it walked over to Mario and gently rubbed his cheek with its head, and then he gave Mario an Ice Flower. "You might need this. Give it to the Amaura." He said as Mario took it and gave it to the Amaura, and when it absorbed it, nothing seemed to have happened.

"Um… what did it do?" Mario asked.

"While Amaura is an ice type, it tends to live in colder climates back in the prehistoric days… and since Delfino is basically a humid area, this little one wouldn't last long. This is why I gave it the Ice Flower, where it'll permanently stay cold forever." He said. "It helps when E. Gadd sent that Ice Flower to me as well."

"Neat." Mario said, petting the Amaura to which it gently licked Mario's cheek where they were given two Ultra Balls to which they put them in the Ultra Balls and they put them in said Ultra Balls, and put them in their pockets.

"Have fun, you two!" He waved as the two walked out.

"You seem really happy." Mario said.

"Of course! I got me a Pokemon!" Daisy said. "What would make me really happy though… is if I ever get in the actual Smash roster. I'm tired of being in the B Roster." She sighed. "But… given how everyone is wanting people like K. Rool, Ridley, or that dork Waluigi, I don't think I'll ever be in there…" She said and walked off.

"Uh… Daisy?"

"Just leave me alone…" She quietly said.

"Hmm…" Mario mused and then pulled out his phone, calling someone. "Hey, Master Hand?"

"Ah! Mario, how are you doing? How's that vacation?"

"Well, it had a rocky start but it's going well so far."

"Excellent! Now what are you calling for?"

"Well, I was wondering… I know we're still waiting for a few people for the fourth tournament and you announced that fifth tournament that got everyone excited… but I was wondering-"

"Ah, about that… I've decided to merge the fourth and fifth tournament together and we're calling it the Ultimate Tournament. What makes this better? EVERYONE IS HERE! …Well, almost everyone. Rosalina isn't here yet. I have this feeling she's blocking us 'cause Crazy Hand kept spamming her inbox."


With Crazy Hand…

"Please come!" He wrote to Rosalina's inbox and sent it… and then he did it again. "Please come!" He sent it again. "PLEASE COME! PLEASE COME! PLEEEEEEEASE COOOOOOOOOME! I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA CAVE IN EVENTUALLY!"


Back with them…

"Aaaanyway, we have the Ice Climbers, Wolf, Young Link, Pokemon Trainer, …We're still trying to hatch a Pichu from Pikachu and Pikachu Libre… I've never seen Samus so giddy… and we also brought Snake back!"

"Really! That's cool. Any newcomers so far?"

"Why yes, we have the Inklings, Ridley-"

"Probably not Daisy. I just had a talk with her and she seemed depressed that she's probably going to be called to the B Roster again."

"Funny you should mention Daisy…"

"Oh?"

"I'll tell you later. I'm actually gonna tell her in person. Where is she?"

"Delfino."

"Excellent! I'll be there! I'm leaving Samus in charge… last time I left Crazy Hand in charge, Rayquaza was on another rampage! See you soon!"

Mario hung up. "Hmm… interesting…" He mused.


With Weiss…

"Danger: Poisonous Water." Weiss read a sign as she had made the tedious trip with a Yoshi on that deserted island. "Poison water, eh?" She mused as she quickly stabbed the ground and turned the poisonous river into an ice rink. "Not anymore!" She smiled and ice skated forward, collecting the red coins in the area and then grabbing the Shine Sprite at the end of the area. "Another one down!" She smiled.


Back with Mario…

Mario walked around the plaza when he noticed the sunlight pouring down at a mural on the ground next to the fountain, as he curiously walked over to it and then he casually looked up to the sun… where he was suddenly taken to a new area, and the ones who noticed this were Pit, Ruby, Luigi, Blake, Sakura, Subaki, Hana, Qrow and CFVY as they did the same thing where they wound up where Mario was at.

BGM: Noki Bay (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Whoa… where are we?" Nyx asked.

"I have no clue…" Blake replied.

"Why, you're in Noki Bay!" An Elderly Noki told them. "You came at the wrong time unfortunately… our bay is covered in poisonous water and I believe it's from that pesky Monty Mole that corked our beautiful waterfall!"

"…How do you cork a waterfall?" Hana asked.

"That's what my grandson said! I don't think our bay will ever return to normal until we get that waterfall uncorked."

"Just leave it to us! We'll take care of it." Coco said as they jumped over the platforms and started climbing the mountain with Mario spraying the goop on the walls and bringing the platforms back. They jumped toward the platforms and made their way up where Mario had to wall jump to get higher while Subaki offered rides on his Pegasus where they went higher, making sure to take out the Goobles and the Goop balls that were coming down and getting rid of the goop. They then came across the Monty Mole on top of the mountain.

"Hey! Uncork this waterfall right now!" Ruby yelled.

"How about no and you guys skedaddle!" He replied, throwing Bob-ombs at them to which they quickly avoided the Bob-ombs and Hoopa came out of his Pokeball.

"I have an idea!" Hoopa said.

"Oh? What is it?" Luigi asked as Hoopa pulled out of his rings and pulled out an Espeon.

"Alright, here's what you gotta do." Hoopa said, whispering to the Espeon's ear.

"Espy!" Espeon nodded as Hoopa flew over to the cannon.

"Hey buddy!"

"What do you want? Get out of here, ya whippersnapper!" He ordered, throwing a Bob-omb at him to which Hoopa casually avoided and leaned his hand on the wall while Espeon secretly used Psychic on the cork. "Don't just casually lean there slyly! You're gonna get-what's that rumbling?"

"Have a nice flight!" Hoopa waved and then Espeon nearly uncorked the waterfall.

"Uh oh…" The Monty Mole paled… before it was uncorked and he was sent flying off. "AAAAAAAAH!" He yelled as a star shined brightly in the sky.

"Well, that's one way to do it." Qrow said as Hoopa took the Shine Sprite with a smirk and then took the Espeon back after thanking it as they went back down to where the Elder Noki was at.

"Hmm, the waterfall is back to normal, but it's not clearing up the poison." He mused as they returned. "Oh! I know something! There was this huge monster that dropped from the sky the other day and landed at the ruins over there. Perhaps that is the reason it is poisoned!"

"Well, we can try." Velvet said as they hopped over to the other platforms and made it safely across where they saw the giant wall in front of them.

"Well, great, how are we going to get up there?" Coco asked.

"I am detecting something from this wall. Mario, spray some water on that image on the wall." FLUDD requested as Mario did so, and then the wall started to go in, leaving a pathway for them, the only problem was, the pathway started by wall jumping.

"O-oh my…" Sakura whispered.

"Oh, that's inconvenient." Pit grumbled.

"Um, Mario, none of us can wall jump unlike you." Luigi reminded.

"That would be a problem." Mario rubbed his chin in thought as the walls caved back in.

"And there's the other problem." Blake said.

"I can get you guys on top." Subaki said where he had his Pegasus take them up to the top one by one until Hana was the last one.

"Thanks Subaki." Hana smiled… and then Subaki took off. "Uh… Subaki?" She wondered and then a minute later, Subaki returned with a Shine Sprite.

"Forgive me, I've noticed a golden bird holding on to a Shine Sprite and I went to go get it. I'd say I did it perfectly." Subaki said with a grin while Hana sweatdropped.

"Oh brother…" Hana groaned as they walked over… where they saw Gooper Blooper looking out on the ocean, who had bandages on his head.

"…You gotta be kidding." Blake said. "Yang threw him all the way here?"

Gooper Blooper heard Blake and turned around… where it got ready to attack them… ooonly for Yatsuhashi to charge in and punch him in the face, causing him to go flying far into the sky where a star shined brightly shortly after.

"Why do I suddenly feel bad for him?" Sakura wondered.

"Friend of yours?" Qrow asked Blake.

"Not entirely." Blake replied, and then they heard cracking as they looked to see part of the ground that Gooper Blooper was on crumbled.

"I'll go take a look." Subaki said as he flew down.

"Nice punch, by the way." Coco praised.

"Thank you." Yatsuhashi nodded and then Subaki came back up with a Shine Sprite.

"Got it!" He grinned as he climbed out and then they looked down into the bay… where nothing happened at all.

"So… nothing?" Luigi asked.

"Maybe we should ask him." Pit suggested as they went back down.


With the Noki Elder…

"Grandpa!" A younger Noki called out to him. "We've found something at the bottom of the bay! There's a monstrous Eel with a bad case of hygiene living in our ancestral home! It's poisoning our water as we speak!"

"Aha! So that's the reason." The Elder mused and then pulled out a bottle. "I guess I should teach them the art of diving!" He said and then they returned. "Everyone, we have a situation. We actually found out the reason why we are having this predicament. There is an Eel with some personal hygiene issues that is plaguing our ancestral home."

"Okay, so where's it at?" Mario asked.

"At the very bottom of the bay! That is where this bottle comes into play, for you see, this will help teach you the art of deep see diving!" The Elder explained… and then Qrow picked up the bottle.

"This thing? You're kidding, right?" He gave the Elder a 'you gotta be kidding' look as he accidentally turned it upside down… and everything in said bottle emptied out, including some red coins.

"Oh… never mind then." The Elder muttered quietly and then saw something. "Oh! I was wondering where my grandson's diary was at." He said, pulling it up while they collected the red coins and got the Shine Sprite.

"There's no way we're gonna risk our lives in the poisonous water to take care of some Eel's issues." Qrow protested. "You might as well suck all the water up just to get to him, but that's not really possible." He said, where Pit got an idea.

Suck it all up. The words echoed into Pit's head and he got an idea. "…Actually, it's not as impossible as it sounds." He said and pulled out his phone. "Hey. Yeah… it's at Noki Bay in Delfino… uh-huh… great! See you then." He said and then turned to them.

"What, do you have one of your god friends that can manipulate water?" Qrow asked as he pulled out his flask."

"Well… not entirely." Pit said and then at this moment, they heard a strange noise as they looked up in the sky to see a certain puffball coming down on a Dragoon.

"Poyooooo!" Kirby waved before it came to a stop and hopped off the Dragoon. "Hiiii!"

"Hey Kirby!" Ruby cheerfully waved as Kirby waved back at her.

"And what will this puffball do?" Qrow asked as he started to drink out of his flask as Pit asked Kirby what to do as he nodded and ran up the water, where he pulled out some kind of fruit.

"Uh, what's that?" Velvet asked.

"Just watch." Pit said and then Kirby absorbed it... to where he started glowing a rainbow-like color.

Kirby had become Hypernova Kirby, and when he started sucking up the in full force, it was much stronger than how he'd usually do.


BGM: Suck it Up! (Kirby: Triple Deluxe)

At the plaza…

"Hey Mona, where did you get that Shine Sprite?" Anthony walked over to her.

"At Bianco Hills! I got it after collecting 100 shiny coins! I wonder if there is a 100 coins in each area? I am gonna go take a look aaaaand why is the water going away?"

"Huh?" Anthony turned his head to see the water slowly going down. "…That's peculiar."

This is a D.E.B.S. Alert. The ocean is slowly disappearing! PANIC! PANIC! RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES IF YOU HAVE TO!

And that is what all the Piantas did.

Yang and Weiss looked at each other as they were at the docks. "Kirby?" Yang asked.

"Kirby."

"I know what we need to do!" Sarge said as he was holding Grif up in the air. "We need to throw him into the water and save our oceans!"

"PUT ME DOWN, YA MORON!" Grif yelled.

"HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK?!" Church yelled at him.

"Huh… this is unusual…" Phoenix said, looking at the receding water.

"I know! That Sarge guy is picking up that Grif guy like he's nothing!" Maya said.

"…That's not what I meant…"


Back at Noki Bay…

Resume Noki Bay BGM

"…What." Qrow said as he looked at his flask, wondering if he drank too much while Kirby had the whole bay in his mouth while the rest of the ocean got a liiittle bit shallower.

"Oh my!" The Elder Noki said.

"Holy. Shit." Coco could only say and looked at Kirby. "I'm liking you a whole lot more!"

"Guys, look!" Hana exclaimed, pointing to an Eel resting on the shallow water, looking depressed. This was none other than Eely Mouth as they walked down to Eely Mouth while Kirby was currently holding the ocean in his mouth.

"I am detecting some really bad hygiene coming from its mouth." FLUDD said.

"Hey big guy… can you open your mouth for a sec, please?" Ruby asked as Eely Mouth opened its mouth in response… and they saw nothing but dirty teeth… and a breath so foul, all of their faces went green.

"Yeesh, what have you been eating?!" Pit asked.

"It is likely that it hasn't brushed its teeth." FLUDD said. "It is also likely that it is the source of the problem."

"Well, let's clean the teeth then… apparently." Subaki said as Sakura pulled out her rod and gently placed it on its skin.

"I'll ease the pain if it has cavities." Sakura said as Mario went off to wash the gunk off of the teeth, while Luigi noticed a Red Coin fish flopping around.

"Huh…" Luigi mused as he walked over to collect the red coins, but did replace the red coins with regular coins since he felt bad for it. The coin fish didn't really seem to mind the replacements… and then Luigi heard the sound of Eely Mouth groaning in agony as a tooth fell out and Sakura was healing him up.

"Easy now… easy!" Sakura said, as the teeth were being cleaned one by one, some more falling out until the last one, a golden tooth was spat out, as coins emerged from it, in the shape of a heart. It seemed to have been grateful as a Shine Sprite emerged from the golden tooth as well.

"Got it!" Hana said, taking a hold of the Shine Sprite.

"Sweet! Now this bay should be back to normal!" Ruby cheered.

"…And we need to get back up. Now." Blake said.

"Why?" Qrow asked.

"Because it looks like Kirby is about to blow!" She exclaimed as they looked up and their eyes widened as they quickly ran back up… right when Kirby spat out all the water and quickly filling the bay and the whole ocean back up.

At a deserted island near the plaza…

"Freedooooom!" A stranded Pianta exclaimed as he ran forward… and then noticed the ocean was rising back up. "OH DEAR!" He yelled and quickly ran the other way… back on the deserted island to boot as he realized what he just did instead of running to the plaza. "Dag nabbit!" He facepalmed.


In the plaza…

Grif emerged from the water, glaring hard at Sarge. "What do you know, it actually worked!" Sarge said.

"I NEARLY DROWNED!"

"Dag nabbit! You didn't hit your head hard enough!"

"OH SCREW YOU!"

"What was THAT?!" Sarge growled.

"Screw you, SIR."

"That's more like it!" Sarge said in a chipper tone again.


Back at Noki Bay…

"That was a close one." Blake said.

"I'll say." Pit said as a portal opened up for them. "Hey Kirby, do you wanna come help us collect Shine Sprites?"

"Poyo!" Kirby's eyes sparkled as he happily dragged his Dragoon inside the portal.


With Washington…

"…Okay… that's it." Washington said as he walked away somewhere. "Hey Maine!"

Meta reappeared in front of Washington. "That's Meta." He corrected via growl. "…Have you made up your mind?"

"I did." Washington nodded. "…I'm in."

"Good. I need you to take that Amazonian girl somewhere private. Alone. I will be there."

"Right." Washington nodded. I hope I don't regret this.


Somewhere else…

A lone individual in cyan armor was in a Pelican, alone, in deep space. "Okay, seriously, where am I…?" She wondered to herself and then spotted something on her radar. "Wash? He's here too?" She asked, and then found his location. "…Isle Delfino? What's that area… and why is… what the hell… Maine? What are they doing there?! I hope they're not doing something stupid!" She said, kicking the Pelican into full gear and taking off.


The fight between Yang and Mona plus the whole scene afterward was my friend's idea who owns Mona. Also, the song too. Go him!

Also, someone help me, I can't stop listening to the Galaga Medley on the Smash blog. IT'S SO GOOD!

Also, Delfino Plaza's been confirmed to return. I wasn't worried about it. ...Now if only Fountain of Dreams will make its grand return.
