'Pant, pant, pant…' Ganondorf ran alongside Daisy, Ness and Fox. They were in the plains, near where Icicle mountain was. They were all in the same room when Master hand called out the warning of the bomb, and had decided to run together. They must have gone at least 5 miles when it started to rain. Fox stopped running. "I don't like the rain. I mean, I really don't like it." He explained, taking shelter under a tree. Ness sighed, and plonked himself underneath the tree as well. "There's only so much running a boy can do, you know?" He told Daisy and Ganondorf, while pulling a packet of raisins and nuts from his pocket. He opened them, poured some into his hand, and bit into them. They were crunchy, and very sweet. Daisy walked over to Fox and Ness alongside Ganondorf, and the four of them sat under the tree, sharing the nuts between them. "We have to get moving soon though- unless you all want to be dead meat." Ganondorf told the crew, while they all looked shocked.

"What are you insinuating?" Daisy asked him, using a word she learnt from Zelda. Ganondorf stood up, and paced back and forth. "Well, you see, if that WAS a subspace bomb-then there would have been two robs holding it, right?" He started.

"Right." Fox and Ness said, who has seen plenty of bombs in their lives. Ganondorf pointed at them. "Exactly. You all know that when we were running, I went back for something? I went to look at the bomb. I mean, with Tabuu defeated and all, I figured, 'That's kind of odd.' You get my gist?" Ganondorf explained, while Daisy shook her head. "I'm confused. Who's Tabuu? What's subspace?" She asked, to no one in particular. Ness walked over and told her everything he knew about subspace- how Ganon and Bowser and once worked for it, how Tabuu was the master, and that ROB was part of it all too. Daisy wiped a tear away from her eye. "That's awfully brave of you, Ness. Sacrificing yourself for Lucas, I mean. If I was there, I would have run away for sure!" Ganondorf cleared his throat, and continued his theory. "Well, if it isn't Tabuu, who is it? I think it's another hopeful. He could be easily defeated, but one things for sure. We need to find some other smashers. They can help us." He finished, while Fox ate the last of the nuts.

Just above them, the negative minister watched them. Maybe they were getting on to the Boss's plan! He had to stop them. Quickly, the negative minister got Luigis soul. They had salvaged just enough to make one bomb before, but now they had captured him, they had a lifetime supply of Negative power. Just like shadow bugs came from G&W, Negative power emitted from Luigis soul. The negative minister had concentrated it so hard, that its effects lasted forever, and nothing could stop it. Well, apart from one thing. Emotions. But the negative minister had removed all the emotions of the smashers he captured. The negative minister groaned. If only he'd bought a trophy with him. Then he could've used it against those people discussing his plans. But what if…? The negative minister grinned and charged up his negative gun.

ZAP! The four smashers turned around at this sound, and what they saw wasn't very nice. The tree they were sitting under had changed. It had pale blue bark, and bright pink leaves, like candyfloss. "AAAAAHHHH!" the smashers screamed, but it wasn't over yet. The tree developed two holes in its bark, with two bright lights inside them. Another huge hole appeared underneath these, and the whole thing gave an appearance of a spooky looking face. The tree lunged forward with one of his branches, swiping Fox and Ganondorf. Ganon shouted, and did a shadow kick on the tree while Fox used his Blaster. "PK FIRE!" Ness yelled, and the tree caught on fire, damaging it quite a lot. Roots came out of the ground and almost tripped Daisy up, but she stomped them back into the ground, which hurt the tree a bit. The tree bit Ness, which made him faint. This made Daisy really angry. She slapped the tree round the cheeks, and then came over to check on Ness. The tree groaned. It knew it was beat. The last thing it saw before it died was Ganondorf winding up a Warlocks punch.

"Yes! We defeated the evil tree!" Fox cheered, hi-fiving Ganondorf. "Guys, come over here!" Daisy yelled, and the two men came over to see what was the matter. "Ness is poisoned. Really badly." Daisy explained. Ness groaned, struggling to keep his eyes open. "I… say… goodbye to… Paula… for… me." Ness said, before he lost consciousness. Ganondorf sniffed him. "Desert poison. Best thing you can do is drink plenty of water, but what we really need is an antidote. But where are we supposed to find that?" He explained, looking around at the plains. Ganondorf picked him up and walked off, while Daisy and Fox followed. They had to find a house for him to rest, and an antidote to use on him, or he was, as Ganondorf said, Dead Meat.

Zelda stopped. She and Toon Link had been running away from the smash mansion for a while now, and she was tired. She sat down on the beachy area were they had ran too. Toon Link gulped, and walked over to Zelda to comfort her. "Come on, Zelda. I'm sure we can meet up with the other smashers. You can call them using your mind, maybe?" Toon Link asked her. But Zelda cried. "It's all my fault! All my own, stupid fault the smash mansion blew up!" She shouted out to sea, and her wailing voice echoed across the land. She growled, and kicked a crab so hard it went flying all the way onto a boat. T. Link was surprised to see Zelda this cross. She was one of the calmest of the smashers, often telling the others to relax and stop fighting. But a bit of role-reversal was in play for Toon Link today. "Look… I mean… it's not your fault. No one could have known that the Smash mansion would blow up. Why would you know that?" Toon Link asked, trying to reveal what Zelda was hiding. Zelda stopped her crying. "You're right. Crying will get me nowhere. I'll tell you. It all started 3 days before the tournament. Lucario and me were having a meditation session with Mewtwo. But, we saw something that would happen. We saw that a bomb would come to the smash mansion. We talked for ages about what we should do, and we decided to tell no-one." Zelda told The Cat eyed boy sitting next to her. Toon Link looked down. "Why didn't you tell Master Hand?" He asked, shocked yet again Zelda didn't tell anyone. Zelda broke into tears again. "Because," she sobbed, "The tournament was coming up, and everyone was so happy. We didn't want to ruin that spark of happiness, and we were going to tell them once the tournament was over, but it was too late. TOO LATE!" Zelda shouted at the end, looking away from Toon Link. Suddenly, Toon Link heard a voice. "Link, it's been a while, hasn't it?" Toon Link knew that voice, and so did Zelda. It sounded familiar to both of them. They spun around, and saw Toon Zelda smiling at them. "Toon Zelda?" Link said, then looked at Zelda. "Zelda?" He was confused, and Zelda was even more confused. "Wait… I just spoke there…?" she asked, completely confused now. Toon Zelda laughed. "Oh, come on now. Toon Link here has to cope living with two other versions of himself- Young Link and ordinary Link!" She said, which added to the confusement. In their state, Toon Link and Zelda fainted.

"Come on, Fox, it's the only hope we have!" Daisy told the orange fox, who was refusing to go inside what looked like an abandoned Mansion. "No way, dude. You must think I'm crazy." He said, walking away from the house. Ganondorf grabbed him. "I betrayed Ness before. I don't want to do it again!" He said, feeling the urge to choke the fox, but he didn't. What was the use in that? The four crept into the mansion. "Hello, anyone home?" Daisy shouted into the darkness. Only a few bats squeaked and flew down from the rafters on the ceiling. "This is spooky, even for my standards." Ganondorf said, shivering. Then, a ghost like voice came from upwards. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment." It said, and suddenly all the lights came on. There stood a girl with two huge bunches with black hair, wearing an orange tiara and a red dress. She held a yellow staff in her left hand, with a red orb at the end. She frowned, but smiled at the same time. Daisy gawped. Fox's eyes popped wide open. Ness was sure he felt something odd in his conscious mind. Ganondorf… was in love. She was perfect. She had an old mansion-and judging by her staff- was a witch. She was also pretty, not like those other witches Ganondorf had liked before. "Who are you?" Daisy asked the girl, who shrieked with laughter. "I'm Ashley. I work for Wario at the moment. And, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?" She said, her emotion changing halfway through the sentence. "Well… it's a long story, but…" Fox said, and then he explained to her exactly what happened. Ashley smiled. "Sure, of course I can help your friend… Ness. Follow me." She said, before walking into a room full of potions. "Thanks, but why are you doing this?" Daisy asked, confused why Ashley would want to help a random bunch of smashers. "Because… Wario changed ness into a trophy, as I guess you know. Well… think of this as my apology. I can't do anything else really, can I?" Ashley explained, while she tipped a blue liquid into ness's mouth. Ganondorf sighed. "You can join us… we're looking for help, and other smashers." He said, in a dreamy voice. Ashley had hypnotised him with her looks. "I'd love too!" Ashley said, clapping her hands together with excitement. Then, Ness woke up. "Huh? Where was I? Where am I?" he asked, confused by the matter. They told him everything, and then Ness told them that he sensed people near the forest. Without further ado, the group set off to the forest, Ashley tagging along behind.

"Wake up, sleepyheads…" Toon Zelda said, and shook Zelda and Toon Link awake. Zelda looked around. She was on a pirate ship, in the middle of the sea. She was about to scream, but Toon Zelda stopped her. "We're just about to pass another pirates territory. We need disguises. And fast." She explained, before turning into Tetra. "What can you do?" She asked Zelda, and She immediately changed into sheik. Then, Toon Link rushed into a room, and changed his clothes into a simple blue sweater and orange trousers. Good. Now everyone, be quiet.

"Boss, I couldn't capture them…" The negative minister said, begging for mercy. The boss sighed, his yellow body increasing in size, and his patience decreasing. "Why didn't you bring a trophy?" It shouted, angry at the stupid minion of his. "We have loads! I'll even read you the list, you ignorant little piece of trash!

Lucas

King Dedede

Paula

Falco

Diddy Kong

Luigi

Young Link

Yoshi

Ray MK III

R.O.B

Bowser

Ike

Pichu."

The negative minister swallowed. "Please boss! One more chance!" The boss sighed. His stupid minion obviously wanted to work more, so it thought, 'Use 'em till they die.' The boss smiled, and said, "Fine. Go and capture the teen angel. Pit."

"Yes, my lord." The negative minister said, picking up two trophies: Paula and Yoshi. He then flew off, ready to capture that Angel and make his boss proud. After all, he had betrayed it once…
