Ch 2 Lee's run

After ducking under the rafts Lee was running in the basement of the building, which was just now catching fire. GameandWatch wasn't far behind and Luigi footsteps could be heard in the distance, Jigglypuff was nowhere to be found though. Lee had it all planned out; he new where the exit was and just needed to make it to the others. Then they all would escape to the new planet, no one yet knew. GameandWatch wasn't letting Lee out of his sight though. GameandWatch reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair out a pair of bunny ears, he left one behind for Luigi. He rushed right in front of Lee, blocking the exit. Lee saw the challenge and pulled a giant key out of his pocket, but then he smiled and turned sideways. GameandWatch couldn't do anything, not even his kind could see each other when they turned sideways. Guarding the door was the best GameandWatch could do. It was quiet for a while, then out of nowhere, there was a shotgun blast and GameandWatch instantly turn sideways. Luigi came running in.

"Where is he?" Luigi was furious.

"Bleep bleep bleep." Mr.GameandWatch replied hoping Luigi wouldn't shoot him.

Luigi sighed. "He got away huh. Well, I guess we got to keep tracking him down. Let's get out of here before the building completely burns down."

"Bleep" Mr.GameandWatch was relieved that Luigi didn't shoot him; though he was still nervous that Lee might still be in there. Mr.GameandWatch slowly opened the door, and suddenly something flew by him.

"JIGGALY!." Jigglypuff was spinning so fast, that his voice was barely recognizable. He was also wearing the bunny ears GameandWatch left behind for Luigi.

"What was that?" Luigi didn't recognize Jigglypuff.

"Bleep bleep!" Mr.GameandWatch insisted it was Lee.

"Fine let's go then" Luigi agreed.

"Bleep." Mr.GameandWatch handed Luigi a pair of bunny ears.

"Right" Luigi put away his shotgun and took off with GameandWatch

It wasn't Long before they were gone, however Lee hadn't left yet. He was still invisible, and once Luigi and GameandWatch were long gone, Lee reappeared and ran off to join the others. Meanwhile, Snake and the others were searching aimlessly through space.

"This seemed like a better idea when we left" Mario was struggling to stay awake out of boredom.

"How long has it been?" Kirby asked.

"Only a few minutes." Snake replied messing with the controls. "I never said we we're going to a specific spot. Heck if I know where Lee was headed."

"That wasn't very smart was it." Meta-knight said.

"Falcon, agree." Captain Falcon agreed.

"I follow orders, not make them." Snake defended himself. "I don't know one thing, Lee isn't smart enough to come up with a plan like that. He must have had some help."

"I do remember hearing him say something about deserving to be in brawl, then he mumbled something about others." Yoshi continued.

"How do you know?" Mario asked.

"Well next to the Master Hand I was closest to the stage." Yoshi replied.

"Oh, right, but what about KFC isn't it strange that he wasn't there?" Mario said. "He's a giant flaming chicken that can travel through space, he should've been there before any of us."

"We can figure that out later. Right now, all that's important is getting Brawl back." Snake replied. "Our only clue is that it's people that are not in Brawl."

"Who could it, falcon, be?" Captain Falcon asked.

"Well, there's not a real narrow line." Kirby began to wonder.

"It could be more than one person. All we really need to do is fine them." Yoshi said.

"Still too many people to choose from." Mario said.

"Whoever it is has to be extremely crazy and unreasonable." Snake tapped his chin.

"Yea, like that makes it any easier." Kirby was getting hungry. "There are a lot of unreasonable people around."

"I'm talking about someone who argues with the basic principle of eating." Snake slammed a fist into his other hand.

"I got an idea." Mario said.

Mario began describing his idea to everyone but, on another planet, Lee was regrouping with his partners. Snake was right Lee wasn't smart enough to think of stealing the pre-release. However, Lee himself didn't know who's plan this was, he was just following orders. He was hoping to find out now though. Lee still wouldn't find out though, because they rendezvoused in a dark room. Lee had protested against this because he was so dark himself, but he followed through anyway

"Alright, I got the pre-release." Lee through the disk on the table, "Now who are you?"

"In due time Lee, but I must." The dark figure was cut off.

"In due time my big black nose. I want to know now." Lee jumped out of his seat and pulled a lantern out of his pockets.

"Sorry Lee, I admire your attempt, but it's not that easy." The figure remained dark and shapeless. "If anyone knew who I was I would be destroyed in a matter of minutes."

"Even the people you control?" Lee sat back down.

"Yes" The figure replied.

"Can't I have some sort of clue?" Lee asked, "it's not easy to trust someone when you can't even tell whether they're a guy or girl."

"Heck if I know." The figure replied.

"You don't know if you're a guy or girl?" Lee was stunned. "I'm out"

"Wait, you want your place in Brawl Don't you?" The figure stood up for a second.

"I'm more interesting in knowing if I should ever bend down around you." Lee still headed towards the door.

"Jokes aside, I need to you do one last thing." The figure walked around the table. "Do this for me and you become the best character in Brawl."

"I'm listening." Lee finally stopped heading towards the door.

While Lee received instruction, Snake and the others hand landed on mushroom kingdom. Mario claimed they only need one unreasonable person to lead them to whoever's behind this whole thing, and he had the perfect one in mind.

"I hope you're right about this Mario." Snake was hiding in the bushes near the house they were at. "We traveled 9800 miles to get here and gas isn't cheap."

"I'm positive." Mario replied. "Okay Falcon, break down the door."

"That's captain falcon to you." Captain falcon took his stance. "FALCON PUNCH."

As the door broke in half while catching on fire their culprit was revealed.

"Mario? What the heck do you want?" Waluigi showed up looking half a sleep, carrying a bowl of cereal
