Ultimate Smash Adventure
When we last left the smashers, they had asked around Phenac City, hoping to find a lead on Crocodile. Eventually, they had to fight Mr. 3 and Ms. April Fool's Day to save the current Mayor of Phenac City. But what became of Mr. 3? And what information does the mayor have to share with the smashers?

Odd Numbers
The smashers and the mayor were now sitting in her office. The mayor behind her desk, and the smashers either sitting in other seats or standing. "So you know something about Crocodile?" Zelda asked.
"Yes I do." The mayor said. "I happen to be good friends with the hands and they told me a good place to go on vacation. It just so happened to be this place called the Grand Line." She said.
"Grand Line? I think Luffy and his friends mentioned a place like that." Bowser said.
"Yoshi." He nodded.
"Pikachu?"
"I've already told you that story." Bowser said.
"Anyways. From what I heard while I was vacationing. Crocodile was one of the seven warlords of the sea." The mayor said.
"Is that bad?" Marth asked.
"The warlords were former pirates, all of them were by far the most feared pirates at the time, however they struck a deal with the Navy, where they only steal from other pirates or corrupt towns. And all of them are very strong." She said.
"Do they have bounties?" Bowser asked.
"Since they work for the Navy, no. But they usually had some of the highest bounties on their heads. Crocodile's used to be… 80,000,000 berrys." She said.
"JIGGLYPUFF!" The others couldn't hide the shocked look on their faces either.
"That's got to be a whole lot!" Ness said.
"It is. As for why Crocodile's in this alliance you're talking about. I don't know." She said.
"He said that soon, Kefka would be taking orders from him." Snake said.
"?" Everyone except for Ness looked at him quizzically.
"Well, first we should explain a few things we learned about the alliance to the mayor." Ness said. "And then Snake and I can explain about Crocodile." Ness said.
Meanwhile…
There was some old train engine that had a few gas pumps. There was also a ramp going in to the engine. The sign hanging at the door read "Outskirt Stand." Inside, there was a woman with blue hair tied in a bandana and she was also wearing glasses behind the counter cleaning glasses. The other seats and tables were empty. Suddenly she heard a voice.
"Come on come on come on come on! Hurry hurry hurry! We can't wait all day Mr. 4!" A short portly woman with bushy brown hair, sunglasses, white shirt, fairly tight pants, and sandals walked in followed by a really really big and fat guy with blonde hair, and did I mention he was big?
"Ms. Groundhog's Day, Mr. 4. Glad to see you here." The woman behind the counter said.
"Uuuuhh…" The big guy that was obviously Mr. 4 uttered.
"The guy that runs this place is out for the week. I told you he would be last week." The woman said.
"Hello Paula!" Shouted Ms. Groundhog's Day. She then started slapping the table over and over. "Orange Tea now now now! Not to hot, I want it Fast!" She shouted really quickly.
"I see you didn't make that switch to decaf." Paula said pouring her a cup of Orange Tea. "Apple Tea for you Mr. 4?" Paula asked.
"Yyyeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss…" He said really slowly. Really SLOWLY.
Ms. Groundhog's Day had already finished off her tea. "Ow, my hip. Massage it for me Mr. 4!" She shouted.
"Yyyeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss…" He said as slowly as last time. Suddenly, they all hear some ballet music.
"En, deux, trois." Came an all too familiar chant. "Keep in rhythm men. En, deux, trois. En, deux, trois."
"I guess Mr. 2's here." Said Paula. Mr. 2 came in on his tiptoes with a few of his men behind him.
"Alright men, now go outside and keep practicing while you wait for me." Mr. 2 said.
"Yes Mr. 2!" The men said as they all danced off.
"And how's my entrance?" He asked in his usual gay manner.
"Stupid as always." Paula said.
"Hmph… no appreciation for the fine art of ballet." Mr. 2 said. He then turned around and faced Mr. 4 massaging Ms. Groundhog's Day's hip. "Well, if it isn't the fatty pair." He said.
"Hey! You shouldn't talk to us like that freak!" Ms. Groundhog's Day shouted.
"Never mind." Mr. 2 said sitting down.
"Takopa right?" Paula asked.
"That's right! It's deeeeelicious." Mr. 2 said. "I heard all the agents were supposed to be here today. Must be pretty important." Mr. 2 said. Suddenly a buff man with a shaved head wearing desert clothes walked in holding two guys that were beaten up and bloodied in his hands. He then threw them on the ground.
"They were doing strange moves in the desert. They're still alive, but unconscious." The guy said.
"Hey! That's my men!" Mr. 2 said looking at his two beaten up subordinates.
"Strange friends like that will lead to your downfall." The guy said.
"I'll show you not to mess with my men!" Mr. 2 said while getting up. Mr. 2 threw a kick that the guy backed away from and threw a punch. Mr. 2 did a spin while ducking under that punch.
"Sock him! Beat that guy up!" Ms. Groundhog's Day was cheering.
"Wwwwwoooooooooooowwww." Mr. 4 said slowly while watching the two fight and dodge each other's blows.
"En, deux, trois." Mr. 2 chanted perfectly in rhythm while throwing kicks and dodging counters. Finally… "En…" Mr. 2 dodged a blow. "Deux…" Mr. 2 did a sweep kick that the guy jumped over. "trois!" Mr. 2 then landed a kick that hit that guy in the chest while he was still jumping, a hard kick that sent the guy flying out the door.
"What footwork!" Ms. Groundhog's Day gasped. The guy did a backflip in mid-air and landed on his feet and skidded a little bit.
"I'm going to kill you for that!" The guy said. Suddenly Paula stepped in the way of that guy.
"Alright, that's enough Mr. 1." Paula said.
"Out of my way Ms. New Year's Eve!" Mr. 1 demanded. Mr. 2 was also trying to run for Mr. 1 to continue attacking him. But Mr. 4 was holding by the arms.
"Let me go fatty! Let me at him!" Mr. 2 demanded. Paula, who was really Ms. New Year's Eve then did a quick change with her wardrobe. Her blue hair fell out of the bandana; she was wearing a long sleeve coat, an incredibly revealing top underneath her coat, and some tight pants.
"Now then, it's time to go meet the boss. Face to face." Ms. New Year's Eve said. Everyone there gasped. "That's right, in all the time we've worked for Mr. 0, it's finally time to see his face." She said.
Back with the smashers…
"So he's going to betray the alliance?" Marth asked.
"Exactly." Snake said. "But as for how he plans on doing it, I don't know." Snake said.
"You said they were looking for this black rune right?" The mayor asked.
"Pikachu." Pikachu nodded.
"Well, rumor has it that a strange black stone exists somewhere in this desert. Maybe he believes that it's another piece to this black rune." She said.
"You know… that just might be it." Marth said. "Do you know where it is?" Marth asked.
"Well… sort of." She said.
"Oh well, it's not that important." Snake said.
"Why not?" Bowser asked.
"Think about it, all of this can be solved by beating Crocodile." Snake said.
"Yoshi." He nodded.
"But can we really take him?" Marth asked.
"If all of us work together, I'm sure we can beat him." Zelda said.
"Jigglypuff."
"Pikachu."
"Crocodile can probably be found at his own personal base." The mayor said. "It's on the coast far to the east of here." She said.
"How do you know that?" Ness said.
"The public knows Crocodile as just another tycoon." She said. "And you guys ended up telling me who he was, so I thought the information might be helpful."
"It is. Thanks." Marth said.
"I'll have some vehicles for desert travel ready for you. But you'll have to wait about an hour or so." She said.
"Pikachu…" He sighed.
Meanwhile…
The Baroque works agents were being carried in a carriage pulled along by a team of Rhyhorns and Lairons. Finally, they pulled up to this pyramid building only a few miles away from the ocean. But it was still surrounded by desert sand. The agents then walked inside and after a while of walking. They finally came to this room with a large table and enough chairs for them to sit at. The room had windows, but the windows weren't looking outside, rather they were looking in to a tank of water that had numerous Gyarados swimming in it.
"Where is he? I want to see him! I can't wait!" Ms. Groundhog's Day said while banging the table rapidly.
"Can't someone calm her down before she snaps my last good nerve?" Mr. 2 asked.
"Just be patient, all of you." Ms. New Year's Eve said. Suddenly a lot of sand gathered in the gigantic chair at one end of the table.
"Hello, agents." The chair turned around to reveal Crocodile, smiling his usual arrogant smile.
"Crocodile!" The agents gasped.
"But you're one of the Seven Warlords? Why would you lead an underground crime syndicate?" Ms. New Year's Eve asked.
"Just like I don't need permission from the government to do what I want, I also don't need to be ordered around by some clown faced lunatic." Crocodile said.
"Clown faced lunatic?" Mr. 1 asked.
"Yes… you see, none of you know that our little alliance is lead by a man named Kefka. I'm sure you've heard the legends." Crocodile said. "Well even so, soon Baroque works will take over the alliance and we'll be the rulers of every dimension instead of Kefka."
"How will we do that? He's supposed to be really really powerful right?" Ms. Groundhog's Day asked.
"It's quite simple… all we need is another piece to the black rune." Crocodile said. "And one piece is in this desert. Once we acquire it, we will just need one more piece before Kefka can completely put together the whole Black Rune. Once he does that, I'll take it from him and with the money I made from the tournament I hosted, we'll form a large army of our own to over throw the alliance. And then we'll rule everything!" Crocodile said. "However, this piece of the Black Rune is important, so in front of you, I have laid out your final assignments for this operation." The agents picked up pieces of paper that had a lot of stuff written on it. "Now destroy them so that no one will know about this operation." The agents then all reached for a candle on the table and burned all of their parchments.
"And what about me?" Came a familiar voice. Mr. 3 then came walking down the stairs. Everyone turned and stared at him.
"Weren't you supposed to bring me the mayor of Phenac City?" Crocodile asked. "Where is she?"
"Well, the smashers came and…"
"The smashers?" Crocodile yelled, getting angrier by the second. "Why didn't you kill them then?" Crocodile asked.
"Well, they proved to be… um… a lot…" Mr. 3 said while getting nervous as Crocodile was getting angry. Crocodile then stood up and started walking toward Mr. 3. "Wait! Uh, There was this kid with a baseball hat, and this guy that looked like a turtle and…"
"We already know about them!" Crocodile said as he reached for Mr. 3 with his right hand. He grabbed Mr. 3 by the neck. "You used to be one of the best Mr. 3. But your failures lately have been too frequent and too many." As Crocodile was holding him, Mr. 3's skin began to dry up and prune up.
"Waaaateeeer… waaateeer…" Mr. 3 moaned while drying up. Crocodile then dropped him on the floor.
"If you insist." Crocodile said. He pushed a concealed switch with his foot and Mr. 3 fell down below where the tank surrounded the room.
The floor around Mr. 3 opened up and a Gyarados came up through the hole with a lot of water. "A gyarados!" Mr. 3 shouted. The Gyarados then swallowed Mr. 3 in one gulp. The other agents looked down at the scene, horrified at what just happened.
"Now then… let's get this operation underway." Crocodile said. The agents nodded nervously and took off.
