Fox: Smash doesn't own smash brothers, konami, OR sega.
Friday, March 7th, 2008-5:20 PM-5th Floor Stairwell
The sound of clanking metal filled the empty staircase. If you were to gaze from above you would just see a heap of armor shaped in a ball strolling up the steps. But in reality this was Sir Meta Knight and by the looks of his eyes…..well. You couldn't really tell anything. But he was deeply troubled and in deep thought.
Now who would be stuck up enough to murder Toon Link? The Knight asked himself. Ganondorf is a logical choice. But a bit of an obivous choice. He turned and went up another flight of steps towards his destination. The attic.
--5:20 PM--Garden--
Down outside the cafeteria was a large and magnificent garden filled with gorgeous flowers and magnificent butterflies. The almost always happy Yoshi was strolling along admiring the wonderful scenery. Yoshi loved to come down here and just admire the scenery.
The creature sighed and plopped down on a nearby bench. Within moments the Yoshi fell into a deep nap.
--Back to Meta Knight--
The Attic door slammed open and dust spewed all over the vast room. Inside the attic were old chairs, photos, trophies and most of things you could think of. Meta Knight wasn't here to pick out some old furniture that was for sure.
Behind vast piles of useless junk was the meditating Lucario. His eyes were closed and glowing while his….dreadlocks pointed outwards. You're here. Lucario stated simply.
On those words Meta Knight quickly unsheathed his loyal sword Galaxia, but on seeing Lucario sheathed it and walked over. "Yes." Meta Knight paused for a moment. "I am."
Good. Lucario responded.
"So." Meta Knight began. "You called me telepathically. What do you require?"
You saw Toon Link correct?
"Of course." Meta Knight nearly whispered. "I was right next to you."
What Lucario would state next would even cause Meta Knight to flinch.
Someone else shall die tonight.
--Training Room--
On the 2nd floor there lie a vast room filled with punching bags, weights, you name it, and if it had to do with Training, it was there. Ever since the Subspace Emissary incident Master Hand doubled the size of the training room allowing all 35 smashers to train at the same time. In case there was trouble, Master Hand wanted it under control.
In the training room at this moment was Fox, Falco, Olimar, and Luigi. Luigi and Olimar still looked pretty shaken from last night's murder but Fox and Falco were purely concentrated on training.
Fox and Falco were shooting bulls eyes over and over again with their handguns. Olimar was lifting his weights along with his pikmin (they had specially made, very small weights) and Luigi was aiming his fireballs.
"If the murderer comes I am so dead…"Olimar shivered to himself as he starting lifting them faster.
"Wh-wh-why-a?" Luigi asked as spooked as Olimar.
"I only have pikmin!" He cried silently. "Not that they aren't strong but if they're gone I'm gone!" He cried out again a bit louder.
"Will you stop the crying for crying out loud!" Falco roared. "The murderer ain't gonna kill another smasher. I'll make sure of that!"
"I believe Master Hand has it covered." Fox stated calmly.
--7:00 PM-Main Lobby--
Meta Knight and Lucario were exchanging glances. "You sure?" Meta Knight asked with very unusual uncertainty.
Yes. The murderer is bound to strike again. I sense bad aura and it hasn't gone away since it appeared this afternoon. I'll say that another smasher will fall before midnight.
"It is just a hunch correct?" Meta Knight, again out of character, asked Lucario.
Just a hunch correct. Lucario stated. But it's a pretty darn good one He thought to himself.
--8:30 PM-Lounge--
30 out of the 31 smashers were gathered in the Lounge. "Alright. It's movie night and I've picked a nice horror film for you all." Master Hand stated. Some groaned. Others cheered and the rest seemed uncertain.
"Where's the WONDERFUL SCRUMPTIOUS GREEN DINOSAUR!!" Crazy Hand crazily interrupted.
"Crazy. Yoshi is not for you to eat. And where is Yoshi anyways?" Master Hand continued.
"I believe he's sleeping out in the garden." Olimar stated.
"Oh well. HIS LOSS!!" Crazy Hand interrupted again.
"Please enjoy." Master Hand said dragging Crazy by the finger.
"OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!" Crazy Hand cried as he was being dragged away.
As the movie started Crazy Hand could still be heard far away. "NOT THE MEDICINE!!" Crazy Hand cried. "ANYTHING BUT THE MEDICINE!!"
The movie, which scared the living daylights out of the kids, lasted for almost 4 hours. It shouldn't need explaining that it was a long movie. I just said it was a 4 hour lond movie. By 9:30 only about 10 smashers were left watching, many still eating all the popcorn they could. The kids had all left within 15 minutes of the movie's beginning and went to bed shivering in fear. Luigi and Olimar, strangely still watching the movie were shivering holding each other as a person was about to be murdered on the TV.
"EEK!" Luigi, Olimar and the pikmin cried. On the screen a person was unknowingly having their throat slit.
Suddenly a loud cry rang out. "YOSHI YOSHI YOSHI YOSH!!" There was a loud bang and then all was dark.
CLIFFHANGER!!
Oh I'm so EVIL! And yes this is the shortest chapter yet. I needed to leave off on a good spot and I did. So, anybody guess who was crying out will earn a very burnt cookie!
Whoever guesses who was murdered gets a scrumptious cookie, and whoever guesses what the heck's going on gets a tractor trailer full of cookies.
So please Read and Review!
