What's Going on Around Here!?

Lobby

Smash Mansion

Twilight has given way to midnight, but one figure was still awake. She was moving around the halls, looking for something. She was sleek, clothed in black robes. Her glossy red-orange hair remained in the hood. A sort of jewel was embedded in her forehead. As she wandered about, she came across the familiar room 658. It was where she hid some of her...stuff.

However, she felt that there were two more familiars in there. As she reached out, she sensed a man...and a ferret. Curiosity got the better of her and she peeked inside. The ferret-which was green-laid on the table, sleeping. The man had fallen asleep in his chair, a book in his hand. She grinned. She could enter the room, but not disturb the sleeping familiars.

Or so she thought. As soon as she closed the door, the man jumped up with two odd guns in his hand.

"Damn it," she cursed, and quickly teleported away to the safety of her realm.

"...Horizon, who was the dame?" Zephyr asked, half-awake. "Were you..."

Horizon sighed. "No Zephyr, she came in on her own. I've got to lock the door sometimes...who was she anyways? She was damn fast..."

"WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER! INTURRUDER!" an alarm began sounding. "ALL SMASHERS REPORT TO THE COMMAND ROOM. YOU TOO ZEPHYR!"

Horizon and Zephyr sweat-dropped. "I'm pretty sure either Master Hand or Crazy Hand is making that announcement." Zephyr commented.

They ran out of the room and jumped down all six floors of the mansion. So much for a peaceful night.

Command Room

Smash Mansion

A woman sighed. She was clad in a blue jumpsuit( that showed most of her features...), and had her blond hair in a ponytail. "Zelda, why didn't you turn on the shield?" she asked. Her eyes never left the screen, which were replaying all the security camera's footage.

"That's because I thought Master Hand turned it on!" Zelda said indignantly. "Besides, it's not like you would've turned it on Samus!"

Samus smirked. "That's because I just got back from vacation."

A blue-haired swordsman sighed. "Sorry, Zelda. I agree with Samus. You were here more than us, so you would've turned the shield on."

Zelda glared. "Oh shut up Marth. You're not helping at all."

Link rubbed the back of his head. "Actually, Zelda, I kinda agree with Marth."

"LINK!" Zelda cried "You're supposed to be on my side!"

"Well..." Toon Link started, but Zelda stopped him.

"Never mind..." Zelda sighed

Bowser laughed. "Princess, none...Allies...."

"Also none." Horizon said as he came through the door. Bowser glared at him. "Er..one."

Meta Knight tapped his foot. "Before we start arguing on whether or not Zelda should have turned on the shield, can we please take a look at the footage?"

"Let's." Zephyr agreed. He looked at Samus and Marth. "Okay, whose the dame and whose prince tiara?"

Marth sighed. "At least he didn't assume I'm a woman...anyways I'm Marth, and she's Samus."

Samus kept looking at the screen, trying to see something Horizon did not.

"...So who are we looking for again?" Horizon asked. Samus rolled her eyes.

"A girl named..." Samus started.

"..Midna" Peach finished. "She aided Zelda earlier on."

"Oh I see. Was it that girl that tried to enter my room?" Horizon asked. Immediately he was being shaken by Samus. Zephyr started to get dizzy.

"What did you see? What did she do? Did you capture her?" Samus asked.

"Samus stop." Meta Knight commanded. Samus then stopped shaking, as Zephyr and Horizon began to recover from dizziness.

"I didn't know you cared about them!" Peach exclaimed.

"I don't. However, you don't want them to puke here now, do you?"

"Okay, Okay." Horizon said. "I'll explain what happened, and in that split second, what I felt..."

????

The female-Midna-sighed. Her sol that she had brought along had protected her from the manaworld's sunlight, despite the fact that a sol was not much brighter than the manaworld's moon.

But who was that man? Midna thought. And why in the etherworld did he seem so familiar? Is it possible?...No, he can't possibly be....him Her thoughts were, however interrupted, when a cry rang out. Up until now, Midna never thought about the fact that she was on the Twilight Palace's balcony. A Twili was approaching her, and it's markings were blood-red. It had sol-thread weaved into his robe.

"Hello there, Midna." it said. It's words were like poison.

Midna gasped. "Z-Zant! How did you-"

Zant laughed. "Only by the powers of a Vault of Souls, I've come back." He smirked. "You certainly gotten younger. Perhaps you can charm Link to tell me where is the true Vault of Souls, or who's this man. Either one"

"Never!" Midna cried. She made a hand gesture, and teleported away.

The guards that were accompanying Zant backed away. They saw how Zant releases his anger. But Zant, rather scream in rage, laughed.

"Midna, you may hide...you may run...but you will not stay unnoticed." Zant smiled. "Guards! It is time to enter Subspace!" All of the guards nodded, and entered a dark portal.

"...And that's what happened." Horizon finished. All of the current Smashers nodded.

"Well, then" Master Hand concluded, "We shall do some research. And by "we", I mean you."

Horizon jumped. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"Behind. Anyways, Zelda, Samus and Horizon. You are drafted to start the research of the Twilight Realm. Everyone else, prepare for the rest of the Smashers return."

"...Why us?" asked the drafted women(and man).

"Just because. Good night." Master Hand replied. He made a loud yawn as he headed back to his office.

"Well I hope the research doesn't bore you to death!" Bowser taunted. The rest just felt lucky that they weren't drafted.

Samus sighed. "Well, let's get started.'

Zelda and Horizon nodded, and began searching the records for the Twilight Realm.

Zephyr sighed. It was going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG night.

A/N: Yes, Midna is appearing in this story. Yes, Horizon and Zephyr know that Samus is a girl. Yes, Zephyr assumed that Marth was a guy. Yes, Zant is back. Yes there is no skit. Got a problem?
