Explanation at bottom. WARNING: This chapter isn't as light-hearted as the others. Okay, have fun!

Angry. Furious. Pissed. Mad. Outraged. Irascible. No words could explain Snake and Samus an hour after the incident. Some would say that it's not that embarrassing, or that it wasn't that bad. But the lack of experience the two had when it came to pranking led them to believe that what happened was the worst that could happen. They were blank. Expressions casual as if nothing happened. They may have been in a terrible mood, but there was no reason to be a donkey about it. They made their way towards the next person on their list. Ganondorf had gone without care. R.O.B followed orders. Now they needed to go get Pikachu. Samus volunteered to go get him, and for Snake and Jigglypuff to keep down the list. Duck Hunt was next. Jigglypuff left to get them. That left Snake. He got the last person on the list. Fox. Well, that can't be right. Fox was at the mansion. Snake was confused. He wiped his eyes and the words were still there. Fox. Even had his last name. The chauffeur asked him where to go.
"Hold on a minute. I need to make a phone call." Snake pulled out his phone. He looked through his contacts and was pleased to find that he still had Fox's number from Brawl. He speed dialed, then waited for Fox to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Fox. This is Snake. Where exactly are you?"
"I'm at the mansion. Why?"
"No, just wondering. Don't leave alright?"
"Uh...Okay."
Snake hit the 'End Call' button. He had nothing else to do, so what now?
"Okay, take me to the hospital."
"Going to go see your friend?" he responded.
"Yeah, see how's he doing. Maybe mock him a little bit."
"Sure thing." The chauffeur pulled off and drove down the street.
Palutena
3:27 pm
Smash Mansion
Palutena hadn't seen Pit yet today. She had already went in his room, but still hadn't found him. She couldn't find him anywhere. Now, her choices were limited. She could:
A. Go find Pittoo and ask him
B. Ask Master Hand to help seek him out
C. Get drunk
D. That was just a joke, C doesn't exist
E. Wait for him to find her
Out of all those choices, A was the worst. So she went with second best and chose C. Okay, I'm just joking. Palutena walked up the soaking wet stairs to Master Hand's office. It probably wasn't destroyed, since Master Hand was in it at the time of that terrible water prank. Once she reached the 12th floor, the 14th being the roof, she walked in and opened the giant door. The door was 16x20 long and wide while normal doors there are 4x6. Luckily, there are tiny handles at the bottom, so that smashers who can't fly can use them. It's also a lot easier btw. She pushed against the large door, grunting with effort. The door gave in and slid back with a lazy moan. Crazy Hand was inside, doing god knows what, but he was available. He looked up at Palutena and jumped out of place. Immediately, he was in front of her.
"Excuse me Crazy Hand, but I have a question." His ring finger twitched.
"A question? I'm great at questions! I win 20 questions all the time! Never lost once, nope! No, no, always win! So, ask away!"
"Umm, okay. Do you know where Pi-" But it was too late.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a minute there. If we're playing 20 questions, then I'm going first. Just answer all 20 questions and then it's your turn. First Question! How many licks does it take to get to the center of a mushroom!?"
"W-wait a minute here! I just wanted to ask did you know where Pit is?" she stumbled. Crazy Hand shook back and forth.
"Nope! I'm sorry, but that's incorrect! Starting from the beginning!" Palutena had no idea on what to do. She hadn't interacted with Crazy this much thus far, so she was confused on how to get him to stop.
"Okay Crazy. I'll be leaving now." She slowly walked backwards. Crazy cocked his body to the side and the doors behind her immediately slammed shut. She shuddered.
"Hey! Haven't you ever heard that it's rude to quit in the middle of the game!? Since you tried to commit such an offense, you can't leave until you win. Understand? Great! 19 more questions to go!" Crazy Hand snapped his fingers and a chair swooped beneath Palutena, knocking her off her feet and onto the chair.
"Hold on now! Crazy, you can't be serious! You're joking right!?"
"I'll be the one asking the questions here missy. Okay! Question #1! By the way, if you get one wrong, you have to start all over. Why did the chicken cross the road?" Palutena sighed.
"To get to the other side."
"Congratulations! Question #2! When does dinner get served in this mansion?"
"3:00 pm."
"Congratulations!" Palutena smiled. Crazy Hand isn't that smart, so he shouldn't be able to come up with any hard question! She thought.
"Question #3! What sound does a Voltorb make when you punch it in the stomach?"
"W-what? H-how am I...How am I supposed to know that?"
"3 seconds."
"Uh, err, Voltorb?"
"I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. You'll have to start all the way over. Question #1!" Oh come on! Palutena thought. All she wanted to do was find Pit. Now she's stuck here playing a weird version of 20 questions. And the answers don't make any sense.
"Palutena, you look uncomfortable. Allow me to change settings!"
"What do you mean?" Crazy and snapped his fingers and they were in a desert. Palutena was in a glass box and the two were surrounded by an audience like some knock-off game show. Oh wait, it is a game show. Crazy Hand had a small blue bowtie and a microphone. Red chairs, cheering audience, fiery heat, spotlight on Palutena. This is what described the crazyness of Crazy Hand. He cleared his throat.
"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you all for coming and watching 20 Question! We have a good episode today! Let's give it up for the one and only, Lady Palutena!" The crowd claps and hoots.
"My name is Crazy Hand and I'm the host for this show! Alright, let's jump right in! If you could dim the lights and quiet down…" The lights dim everywhere else except for on Palutena and the audience goes silent.
"Question #1! To be, or not to be?"
"Crazy Hand, where are we? What's going on?" she said, confusedly looking around.
"No no no. It looks like we have an amateur player here." The crowd boos. "Okay, I shall explain the rules."
"No! I know how to play! To be! To be!" she exclaimed.
"What is to be?"
"Umm, me winning."
"Correct! Next question! Question #2! How do you defeat a Metroid?" Palutena wasn't to sure about this one. She had never been addressed about Metroids nor did she ever play any of the Metroid series. She did know one thing though…
"You shoot it."
"Correct!" The crowd goes wild. "Now, Question #3! In the original Pokemon universe Indigo league, it states that there are no real animals like cows and pigs. So, in that case, later on, you see the main protagonist, Ash Ketchum, eating meat. What is he eating?" Whoa. Pokemon busted. She had no idea. Saying that they just straight up eat the creatures they love and rely on sounds just too cruel. Crazy floated impatiently.
"Would you like to phone a friend?"
"Yes!" A red telephone poofed out of nowhere into the glass box.
"Who would you like to call?"
"Umm, Lucario please."
"Dark Pit it is then!" Seriously! She had to do what she could. Hopefully he might actually not be a total prick…
Dark Pit
3:35 pm
Smash Lobby
His phone started ringing. The caller ID said 'Bitch Alert'. And to his own surprise, it was Palutena. He started to reject, but if she was calling him, she must have been desperate. Maybe he could get something in return. Or it was a butt-dial. He picked up the phone.
"What do you want!?"
"Dark Pit, I need help!"
"Help? From me? Ha! What's the matter, your little pawn didn't answer?"
"I'm going to ignore that comment. I need you to get Master Hand. Like, now!"
"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"
"Why you...What is it you desire?" Dark Pit smiled.
"I want two things."
"You only get one."
"Oh come on. It's just two, measly things."
"*sigh* Fine."
"First off, make everyone here stop calling me Pittoo."
"Done."
"Second, I want Pit to where Peach's clothes for the next week."
"..."
"Time's ticking."
"A-alright! Done! Now will you get Master Hand?"
"Swear on it."
"What?"
"Swear to me that you'll keep your word."
"I swear! I swear! Crazy is tormenting me with these awful questions! I'm trapped! Get Master Ha-" Dark Pit hit end call before she could finish. He walked into the cafeteria and sure enough, Master Hand was there. Sheik was there too. Pittoo walked up and tapped on him.
"Yo, big hand. Your brother is terrorizing Lady asshole and she wants help."
"Excuse me?" Master Hand turned around.
"I said Crazy is torturing Palutena. You should take care of that." He said smugly.
"Crazy is doing what!?" he boomed.
"She said something about a bunch of questions. I don't really give a shit."
"Hold your tongue Dark Pit. Wait a minute...QUESTIONS! NO! NOT THE GAME SHOW!" Master Hand zapped out of existence.
"Hmph. I deserve way more screen time than this." he said, completely shattering the fourth wall. He went back to the lobby and sat down on one of the sofas. His room got totally trashed during the Song of Storms prank, so he'd just been right in this spot. He plugged in his headphones and started listening to some heavy metal. Not too long after, Samus, Duckhunt, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff all walked in the door. He looked up at them. Easy target. Or so it seemed. He stood up and blocked the entrance. Samus looked at him.
"Excuse me Pittoo. Also, no one leaves." She said, expecting him to move.
"Oh, speaking of no one leaving, where've you been? Out buying jewelry?" he challenged.
"Yeah, I can see where this is going, so I'm just going to tell you to move." She barged past him, clearing a path for the others. He blocked them off again.
"Why so aggressive? Have a good time pissing yourself? Or was it too shitty? Did Snake not have a diaper for you?" That got her riled up.
"What did you just say?" Bingo.
"You heard what I said. You think I didn't hear?"
"How do you know about that? Are you responsible?" She kept her hand close to her gun. She won't be tempted by anger.
"Oh, don't go falsely accusing me because someone got you good. Hey, if it was me, I would be angry too. But tell me, why am I trapped in here while you guys go out getting Chipotle?"
"Have you been following us?"
"No, I can smell it. Kinda. Answer the question."
"I don't have time for this. Just get out of the way." she said. Jigglypuff was behind Dark Pit ready to attack at any moment.
"Why don't you just move me?" he smirked. She pulled out her gun and pointed it at him.
"You clearly want a fight and I'll give you one. But why? Why is it your goal to piss everyone off?"
Dark Pit smiled deviously. "Samus," he crossed his arms, "Every party needs a pooper."
Samus grabbed her gun and Dark Pit prepared for battle. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were both ready to battle too, but Samus said, 'I want this one for myself.', so they sat out. Dark Pit and Samus had walked outside.
"I've been waiting for this for a while. I've fought you once with your powersuit on, so let's see what you've got without it."
"That was in the tournament, where you can't really get hurt. Now, you're gonna feel real pain."
"Enough of the chit chat and let's do this already." They both fell silent, waiting for the other to have the first attack. Samus exploded at him, full of energy. He jumped back, surprised that she was so fast. She ran up to him. By instincs, he blocked, but instead of kicking him, she flipped over and landed on his shoulders. She kicked him and he stumbled forward. Quickly turning around, he slashed at her, barely missing her arm. She fired three shots at him. He dodged all three, the last one him springing in the air to get by. He started flying, raining arrows on her head. She dodged most of the arrows, only two of them hitting her. They grazed by, cutting her arms and leaving revealing marks in her Zero Suit.
"That thing can actually be cut open!? At first I thought it was indestructible!" he laughed. He used his air advantage to fly down and sweep her under her feet. He was successful. She caught herself, but Dark Pit brought down his Silver Bow (Is that what it's called? 'Cause I really don't know) and sliced her stomach. It didn't cut her through her Zero Suit this time, but underneath, it did leave a thin line of blood. She used one hand to flip off of the ground and put her gun right in his face. Before she could pull the trigger, Dark Pit grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. She winced and yelped out in pain.
"Oh? Is your wrist broken?" He grabbed and squeezed her wrist. He earned a satisfying cry out before she pulled away. Using her other hand, Samus punched Pittoo right in his jaw. He flew back and she grabbed him with her gun. She slammed him onto the ground then put him into a choke hold.
"Having fun yet?" Dark Pit struggled against her strength. Damn Chozo DNA! he yelled in his head. She was choking him. Argh! She's actually choking me! I can't breathe! Samus didn't let up her grip. Pittoo's lungs screamed for air. He tried elbowing her, but it didn't work. Then, it clicked. Her wrist! With the rest of his strength, he punched her wrist. Her grip loosened greatly and he bursted out of it. He fell to the ground, taking in deep breaths. Samus also fell to the ground, but she quickly got up. Pittoo swung around and sent his foot into Samus' chest. She grabbed his leg and swung him around. She threw him straight at a wall. He landed on his feet and flew at her. Drawing both sides of his Silver Bow together, he went towards her at super speed, both sides in front of him. Samus dodged into the air. He expected that, and his plan sprung into play. He whipped around in the air and shot her with an arrow. It hit her in the shoulder. Bullseye! He slid onto the ground and ran at her. She was still in the air. She shot at him. A smile crossed his lips, and he reflected it. It hit her, and she was stunned. He jumped up for the finishing blow. He spun and with all of his strength, he slashed through Samus with both swords. Her Zero Suit was cut in two places, leaving two marks of red. She hit the ground with a thud and Dark Pit landed on his feet. He re-connected his Silver Bow together. He started laughing out loud.
"Another top-tier down for the count!" he said, menacing smirk over his shoulder. Jigglypuff and Pikachu both watched with their mouths open. Dark Pit had won. Dark Pit had actually won!
Ness
3:48 pm
Smash Basement
Toon Link and Ness were getting ready for the next prank. Ness notified Toon Link that The Boxcars were fighting outside and they could set up a prank in the lobby.
"Okay, Master Mind, what do you have in mind?" Ness said to him.
"Okay, here you go." Toon Link handed Ness five medium sized white packages. They were all white and translucent. You could make out a murky, yellowish substance on the inside.
"What is this?" Ness held one up to the light.
"It's a project I've been working on since yesterday. I call it a honey bomb. Pull the string inside and they'll explode in approximately 5 seconds. They're made out of honey, a flashbang, salt, and just for good measure, rubberbands."
"What are the rubberbands for?"
"To make sure the flashbang goes off. It's kinda complicated. Like I said, just pull the string and BANG!" Toon Link smiled even though he still felt bad about Lucas.
"Keep smiling Toon Link."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"It just draws attention away from your eye. Also, this prank reminds me of that part on Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. On the train."
"Yeah, yummy, sticky surprise? Anyways back to business!" Ness took the packages upstairs. Ness exited the basement, the person behind the counter snoozing on the job. Perfect! He started putting the packages in all of the corners. He had the strings in his hands. As he was placing the last one, Olimar walked behind him. He tapped on Ness' back. He was shocked once he turned around. Olimar? Crap! I thought he left with Team 1! Olimar spoke using sign language.
Translation
"Ness, just what are you doing?"
"Me? Oh, uh, nothing important."
"It doesn't look like nothing. It looks like you're trying to pull a prank."
"What makes you say that? That's a false accusation ya know."
"This is too risky. I'm sorry Ness, but you're going to have to come with me."
Not Translated
Ness knew that this wouldn't end well. At least he hadn't seen the packets. Ness followed behind Olimar closely. Yellow pikmin kept poking him in the butt with sticks if he fell behind. Blue pikmin inspected the lobby up and down, quickly finding all of the packs. The string that needed to be pulled was back at the lobby on the couch. They didn't get it because it's just a piece of string. Or so they thought. It was still connected to the bags. If someone could just pull it. Secretly, Ness pulled out his walkie talkie and spoke as quietly as he could.
"Toon Link? Are you there Toon Link? Speak quietly, over."
"Ness, this is Toon Link. How can I help you over." Olimar looked back. Ness tapped on the walkie talkie like a smart phone.
"Put that away." he signaled.
"Toon Link, SOS, pull the string. I repeat, pull the string immediately. Over and out, over." Ness shut it off and took the batteries out. Olimar held out his hand. He wanted the walkie talkie. Ness sighed, and handed him the walkie and the batteries. Olimar put the batteries in the Walkie Talkie and tried it. Nothing but static.
"Is this another game of yours?" He said. Ness blushed a little bit. Olimar had a purple pikmin put the walkie in a plastic bag and carry it off. Olimar led Ness to the second floor, then into a door that led under the basement. Under it was a place Ness hadn't seen in all of his years at the mansion. Inside the metal iron doors was a big, dim room. It was a long, dusty hall. It clearly hadn't been used much, and it took Ness by surprise. The place was the dirtiest in the mansion. Olimar walked forward, normal procedures. They walked to a door marked 37 and Olimar pulled out a key and unlocked it. Inside was...nothing? There was nothing but a a padded floor and a hanging lamp at the top of the ceiling. It looked like a haunted house.
Translation
"Alright, wait here."
"Wait, what? In this dump?"
"It'll only be temporary...If you're not guilty."
"Th-this is going over the limit!"
"Master Hand told me to use any and all extreme means necessary. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do."
Not Translated
Olimar gave the signal, and purple and rock pikmin began to close the door. The sound of steel scraping the ground was an awful sound and Ness put his hands over his ears. Sparks flew and the door slammed shut. Ness was left in the damp and stuffy room. He felt along the walls and then he realized how lonely he was.
"I'm alone. Oh god, I'm alone. This can't be happening." His voice echoed off the walls. The dim light wagged back and forth.
"Is this a prison? I've been through worse, but I'm kinda scared right now. I don't wanna stay in here." There was no response. A loud bang pierced the area.
"Oh jeez. Toon must have pulled the string. But it's no use now." Ness put his back against the wall.
"It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay. They ain't got nothin' on you..." Ness said to himself.
"I wonder if they can here me. HELLO? I'M INNOCENT YOU KNOW! LET ME OUT PLEASE!...OR NOT! I'M COOL WITH BEING IN HERE ANYWAY!... THAT'S SARCASM! I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!" A slot in the side of the wall slid open. Ness stood up and walked over to it. Through it, he saw the next room. Sheik slowly lowered herself from the ceiling.
"Hey, could you quiet down!? It's hard to sleep in here when you're screaming your lungs off." she hissed.
"Sh-Sheik!? What are you doing in there?"
"I got a week in here for attacking Master Hand. Got my clothes back though." she did a little pose to show off her new - old outfit. "Feels good to be back."
"W-wait, you're Madame Claudine? Wow, I never knew you could be so pretty..." Sheik's hand burst through the slot and grabbed Ness by his shirt. She snatched him by the collar and spoke to him in a real, threatening way.
"Listen closely. I heard what you said before, about you and Toon Link. I know what you've done to me and to other people. I'm tempted to come in there and beat the living shit out of you, but out of the kindness of my heart, I'll settle for something else. I can get out of here anytime I want. I could get YOU out anytime I want. And that's what I'm gonna do. Once I get you outta there, you had better call off your little buddy and end this or I'm going to give you and Toon Link more than a black eye. Understand!?" she barked. She wasn't bluffing. Ness took too long to answer because she pulled him forward and banged his head on the iron wall. "Do you fucking understand!?"
"Es!" That was all Ness could get out. She let him go and he fell to the ground. He clutched his head. He felt something warm and wet. Blood. She whacked him hard on the wall and he bled a little. There was a poof and she was in his cell. She grabbed him in one arm and teleported from the cell. Once they were out, there was sticky honey all over and a pikmin or two still stuck. Olimar was nowhere in sight. Sheik threw him down on the ground as if she just scored a touchdown. There was another loud bang, only this time, it was Ness. He coughed hard. A drop of red hit the back of his hand. It was his mouth now. Ness never knew that she was so strong outside of the tournament. He knelt down on one knee, trying to overcome the pain.
"Remember what I said. Now go." Sheik watched him struggle along the ground. She drew back her leg then sent a kick to his ribs. He went sprawling onto the ground.
"What are you waiting for!? Beat it!" he slowly picked himself up and walked down the long, sticky hallway. She threw down a smoke bomb and as soon as it cleared, she was back into her cell, probably taking a nap.
With his head and mouth bleeding, Ness grabbed his ribs as he made his way out of the door. He had to warn Toon Link.
Snake
3:40 pm
Orange-Orange Hospital
"I'm here on account of a buddy named Ike. What room is he in?" Snake asked.
"Oh, are you a friend of his? Let's see...He is currently in room #212. Here, follow me." The lady walked from behind the counter, someone new taking her place, and led Solid Snake through double-doors and down a hallway. The hallway opened up and busy people and patients were being wheeled from here to there. They turned around a corner to a dead-end and entered the door to their left. She knocked and then opened the door. Inside, Ike was on the hospital bed with his leg hoisted up and wrapped in bandages. He was dead to the world. His snoring was equal to a gorilla's, heavy and slow. His head was cocked to the side and hair messily sat on his head.
"Excuse me, but he seems quite oblivious at the moment." she said. "Are you going to be okay here? The doctor should be back soon." The lady was 5'6 feet tall. Snake stood above her at nearly 6'0 feet tall.
"Yeah, I should be fine. Thanks." Snake walked in and the lady closed the door gently behind him.
"Geez, you're either eating or sleeping...Hey! Ike!" Ike moved a little bit.
"*sigh* Get up!" Snake nudged Ike's arm. Ike turned his head. Snake shook him a little bit more. Ike turned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Eyeah-whatis?" He was still half sleep.
"Ike, just wake up."
"Huh? Oh, hey Snake. *yawn* What's going on? How's stuff hanging?" he was more awake now.
"Finally. I'm doing just fine. Brought you some flowers."
"Really?"
"No. What'd they say about your leg?"
"Wheelchair. For a long time. Could even be a couple of years. Not too worried though. I can still fight."
"Damn. That's rough. Sorry to hear that. Bowser got us all good. Glad we taught him a lesson. Anyways, glad to see that it's still you. Sure you're not worried?"
"Of course I'm sure. Broken a lot of bones in my body. They all heal, they may take some time, but I can still do what I did before. Chin-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, and a bunch of other things." he smiled. "How are the other Boxcars? Doing well I presume?"
"Rosalina's down, Sam's wrist is broken, your leg is fucked up, MY leg is fucked up, and Jigglypuff is other."
"Man, the Boxcars are getting their asses kicked..." Ike looked down.
"I beg to differ. I bet Jigglypuff and Samus are in battle right this very moment..."
Dark Pit
3:58 pm
Smash Yard
"Damn! Too fast!" He sliced Jigglypuff away and dodged a lightning bolt. Pikachu jumped at him and zapped him, sending a channel of electricity through him. Pikachu used Iron Tail and smashed him down to the ground. Dark Pit landed on his feet. He looked up and dodged an oncoming attack from Pikachu. Dark Pit reached out and grabbed Pikachu by his tail. He slung him around, battering up Jigglypuff each time Pikachu went around. He let go, sending him flying through the air. He shot an arrow at him and one at Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff jumped over it and came running at Dark Pit. Ready to counterattack her, Dark Pit got hit with another lightning bolt. Stunned, Jigglypuff kicked him into the building. Pikachu came right next to Jigglypuff and started charging. Dark Pit was in pain. He had just beaten Samus, now it was 2 on 1 when he was already hurt. He would have to bust out the big guns now. Pikachu launched full power at him.
"Electroshock!" Dark Pit rushed forward and smashed Pikachu diagonally into the air. He flew through one of the windows in the mansion. Dark Pit jumped into the air and brought one of his blades down onto Jigglypuff. She rolled to the left and he hit nothing but dirt. His sword, now stuck, stood into the ground. Jigglypuff grabbed Pittoo's other blade and threw it. He could easily go get it, but Pikachu was coming back, which meant...
Hand-to-hand combat. He knew more than the basics, but was an amateur at most. Great, this is their specialty. Pikachu jumped from the window, as he was coming down you could see electricity surging on his cheeks. Jigglypuff used Pound. It being as slow as it is, Pittoo spun to the side and kicked her. She flew through the air and hit the mansion. Pikachu came down and jumped at Pittoo. He ducked and then jumped over Pikachu's next attack. Dark Pit extended his wings and flew at Pikachu. He picked him up, then flew high into the air. Quickly, Pittoo zoomed down towards the ground. Pikachu struggled, then used thunder. The lightning came fast from the sky. As soon as he nearly reached the ground, he got hit. It burst through him, shocking the insides of his bones. They hit the ground hard, sending dirt and soil in every direction.
After the dust cleared, Dark Pit was on his hands and knees, watching the blood drip onto the ground. His blood. He wretched and blood and puke spilled out onto the ground. He looked up. Pikachu was still standing, but he looked pretty beat up. He gathered himself and prepared to finish this.
"Y-you're pretty good Pikachu. I a-actually haf-ta compliment you o-on that one..." He pulled part of his Silver Bow out of the ground.
"But sorry, it's time to say goodbye now." He raised his sword, ready to attack again. Someone tapped on his back.
"What the h-" He turned around and Jigglypuff jumped into his arms.
She used rest.
It was all over. He flew through the mansion walls. He exploded through the top of the ceiling and was flying through the cafeteria. He was spinning like a bullet, 'round and 'round. He hit a table and started flipping through the air.
"Holy hell!" Falco yelled. Dark Pit hit the solid stone wall, creating a small crater in it and sending wall pieces everywhere. It was a loud and sickening crash. He lie there on the ground, motionless. The only movement was his brief, unsteady breaths. Falco ran over.
"Son of a bitch! What in shit just happened!?" he said, kneeling down behind Pittoo. Dark Pit had a loud ringing noise in his ears. His entire face was wet with red. It came from everywhere. His arm, his collarbone. Both broken. He couldn't move. Jigglypuff walked in with steam coming from her ears. Pikachu was right behind her. They slowly closed in on him.
Instinctively, his wings weakly extended. He started to ascend, but very slowly. He was flying. With one sword in one hand, He went to collect the other. Everyone watched as he could barely carry himself. Dark Pit's body was sunken down, facing the floor. He floated outside, leaving a trail of blood. He used the same hand to grab his other sword and. Pumping his wings hard as ever, Dark Pit flew away. Jigglypuff jumped after him, but Pikachu held a hand up, telling her that it was over. Dark Pit couldn't even speak, or fly regularly. He went up, then dropped. He was physically broken. Went up again, then dropped. If only he could pronounce the words, he would tell them exactly how he felt. The pain. Not even he could be vulgar, which was his third favorite. They don't know where he flew to, but they do know that he couldn't go very far. But for now, there was other work to be done.
Toon Link
4:00 pm
Smash Basement
An invisible force was tying him up. He was on his knees while something strange was binding his arms back with a rope. Toon Link clenched his teeth. What the heck is this!? This can't be magic! he thought. After it finished, it grabbed his restricted hands and pulled him up. He got to his feet. The invisible force pushed him towards the door. When Toon Link didn't move, it pulled him to the door. He followed closely behind it. It guided him all the way to the room with the cells.
"W-what is this place? I've never seen anything like it!" The force dragged him all the way to cell 40 and the sound of keys rattled into the lock. The heavy door slid open with ease. The force threw him in with no regards. The door slid on the stone floors, spitting sparks in all directions. It slowly started to close. As soon as it connected with the wall, the loud bang echoed across the land. Silence took over. Footsteps could be heard down the hall, and then the door opened and shut.
Toon Link was left in the dark, hands behind his back.
"Oh no. Oh no! What's going on!? Were we sold out? Where am I?" His words echoed across the walls. He had been locked up before, but never has he felt so helpless.
"This is perfect. Will someone come for me? Man, this is just like a giant, terrible, prank. I don't want to play this anymore." He sat in the middle of the room. There was a long pause. All of a sudden, a cloud appeared in the middle of the room. It cleared and Sheik was there. She stared down at Toon Link with deathly eyes.
"Sh-Sheik?...Huh. How'd you get in here?" She took a step up to him.
"Hey Sheik. What are you in fo-" Sheik quickly grabbed him and picked him up by his neck.
"Well well well. If it isn't our little comedian. I take it Ness warned you didn't he?"
"*choke* N-no! I hvnt seen im ence he lefft!" he coughed. Her eyes narrowed.
"I can't even explain what I want to do to you. I could break both of your arms and no one would know. I don't think you understand what you've done. This mansion, these people, Master Hand. All of this is your fault. And your little buddy Ness. Hey, since you're so clever when it comes to pranking, tell me why I shouldn't just tear you to pieces." She pulled back her arm and lugged Toon Link right into the wall. He smacked it with a loud bang.
"O-ow! That hurt!" She slammed her fist into the wall right beside his head. "Answer the question! Do not make me repeat myself!"
"P-please Sheik! Calm down! I never wanted to make everyone mad! It's late Summer, we wanted to make everyone smile! Yes, we did play practical jokes on everyone, but went meant it all in good fun! I planned this day to show everyone that we're smart AND funny! I wanted to do it to raise everyone's spirits, not to lower them! Please Sheik, I only did it to make people happy as a day we could look back on and laugh about it! Had I known that it would just make everyone hate me then I never would have done it!" he cried. The tears began to come now, creating a dam at the edges of his eyes.
"Toon Link, you crossed soo many lines. Many that should never be crossed."
"And I'm sorry! I didn't understand back then, but now I know enough the hard way. I've experienced the worst outcome, even I've suffered from my own misdoings. I only want to apologize to everyone if I hurt them because seeing how angry you are only show's me how much I've hurt you! I'm sorry Sheik. I mean it." He started crying. The dams overflowed with water and tears spilled down his cheeks. Sheik's expression didn't soften, but her heart did. Her rage wasn't there anymore, only understanding and love.
She pulled out a knife and cut Toon Link's neck- err, ropes. His hands were free now. She picked him up. He stared back at her with pure sorrow.
She hugged him closely and he sobbed in her chest, (if she had one). He had his arms around her. After quite some time, her embracing stopped and she stuck her hand out. She touched his face, then worked her way up to his eye. When she did touch it, he winced and pulled away.
"Does it look bad?" he brought his hand up to it.
"It's swollen. It should get better. Listen, Toon Link. You have my forgiveness and I'll let you off with a warning. But Master Hand and the others have their orders. Master Hand is angry beyond control. An apology won't do you any good with him. The others have their orders and will do anything to catch you two. I'm going to get you out of here. Once you're out, you need to get Ness and leave as soon as possible. Go find someplace so stay until this dies down. I can't imagine what Master Hand is going to do once he gets ahold of you. Make sure that doesn't happen. Use whatever means you have to escape. Even murder...okay, maybe not that, but you get the point. You need to leave. Whatever pranks you have left, use them. Do you understand what you have to do?" Toon Link looked at her dazed.
"Do you fucking understand!?" he jumped back, startled.
"Y-yes! I understand." Sheik grabbed him and teleported out of the room. She brought him outside the cells.
"Sheik, I-"
"No time, just go." she interrupted. As he was leaving, she bent down and hugged him tightly. He noted that her hugs were almost as good as Zelda's.
She pulled away from him. "What are you waiting for? Hurry!" Toon Link ran down the hall. He opened the door and disappeared behind it.
"Good luck Toon Link...Alright, I'm going to go take a nap..." she said and teleported back into her cell.
Palutena
4:00
Unknown
Master Hand had been lecturing Crazy for nearly an hour. Palutena was just sitting back in her glass prison while the audience silently boo'd Master Hand.
"I've told you several times not to do this without my consent! How can I trust you when 80% of the time you're so irresponsible and disrespectful! You can't just trap smashers treating them like dolls! I am very disappointed in you! Now, apologize to Palutena." Master Hand lectured.
"I'm really really sorry Lady Palutena." Crazy slumped down.
"Good. Now, let's end this and get back to the mansion." Master Hand sighed and snapped his fingers. When he did, him, Crazy, and Palutena were all zapped back to the mansion.
It was all chaos. There was cuckoo's everywhere. Enough to surf on them. They were pissed and all moving as one. They covered a certain object, but none got to see it because the cuckoo's kill everything.
"What is going on here!?" Master yelled. No one answered. The wave of cuckoo's were coming right at them!
"Uh bro! We should stop that, right?" Crazy asked. They both looked at Palutena, but Palutena wasn't there. Just skid marks and dust.
"Crazy, create a giant shield! Whoever is inside the wave of cuckoo's must be the prankster!" Master shouted.
"Okay!" Crazy opened up his hand wide and so did Master Hand. Together, they made an orange barrier that covered the entire hall. "We've got them now!" The wave of cuckoo's rushed right towards them. They crashed off the shield, not even making a dent.
"Now Crazy!" They both pushed the shield around all of the cuckoo's and the prankster. They trapped them in a giant ball like hamsters. Crazy picked up the ball and spun it on his finger.
"Nice job Crazy. Now, let's see who our famous prankster is." Master said. He used the force (not really) and cleared out all of the cuckoo in the way. It was a dummy.
"Blast it. Where's the real one? Crazy, the attack came from up ahead, so let's go!" Crazy rushed forward, eager to battle.
"Yaya! Hey bro, how come we don't get to fight as much anymore!? This is fun!"
"Crazy! W-wait up!" Master Hand and Crazy flew forward. They sped through each floor of the mansion in seconds. They met back up in the middle of the 5th floor.
"Crazy, I didn't find anything. Did you?"
"No, but there was a shadowy figure climbing out of the window. I asked him if he saw anyone and he said no."
Argh-for the love of-Crazy! Where was this figure?"
"3rd floor."
"Okay, you go outside and I'll go to the 3rd floor. Go!"
"Wahoo!" Crazy was having a little too much fun. He teleported outside like Master Hand said. He didn't see anybody. Master Hand was on the third floor. Then there was the shadowy figure. Two of them actually. They looked surprised to see Master Hand and quickly jumped out of the window.
"Hey, wait! Get back here!" Master Hand flew after them.
"Crazy, cut them off!" Crazy formed a giant purple bat.
"Batter up!"
"No Crazy! We're not trying to kill them!"
"Oh, okay bro." Crazy put that away and instead formed a bazooka.
"CRAZY!"
"Wait, it's a net gun!" Crazy fired it and a gigantic net spread open and flew, practically laying itself around the figures and Master Hand.
"Well done Crazy! Well...Kind of. Now, I have you!" Master Hand said. At least, that's what he thought. The holes in the rope were a little too big and they easily slid through them. Crazy made a fist and rushed at them. He flew with sonic speed...and missed. He zoomed right over them and right into Master Hand. They fell to the ground like bowling pins. Before the two figures had time to laugh, they fled across the bushes and into the city.
"No Crazy no!" Master Hand pushed past him and quickly searched the area. They were gone. He punched the ground.
"No! No! No! Crazy, how could this happen! No. No. No. It doesn't matter. We know where they are now. Crazy, go phone the Boxcars. We have work to do." Master Hand cocked his ring finger and a humongous blue barrier surrounded everything within 200 meter radius.
"That should keep them close."
"So bro, how do you plan on finding out who that was? Ya know, the prankster?"
"Well, that's simple now Crazy. All we need to do to figure out who did it is to take role call. The two that aren't here...Come on, we need to get the boxcars. Let's have them search the area while we count heads." Master Hand floated towards the mansion.
"Uh, bro?"
"What is it Crazy?"
"Are you angry at me?"
"No Crazy. I'm not angry with anyone. I'm relieved actually. Relieved that this is coming to an end." said he. Crazy followed close behind. Master Hand was half right. Things were coming to an end. But things were just getting started. But for now, there was work to be done. No time for crying or fussing. No time for fighting or stalling. Not even time for playing. The time? This time, this time. It's crunching time.
That's going to be it for now. I'm not going to use any excuses for why this is so late, I've just been putting it off. So use your imagination.
