In the meantime, Pit was at the cafeteria hurriedly taking food for himself and Roy. It was nearly lunchtime and he assumed that Roy was hungry, like him. The other brawlers who were sitting and chatting with their friends oddly looked at him. Why is he taking a lot of food, they wondered. It is fit for two people! Is he that hungry?

After putting Roy's lunch in a paper bag, Pit was about to leave the cafeteria when all of a sudden, a familiar deep voice growled, "Well, what do we have here?" With a yelp, Pit quickly turned around and saw the monstrous turtle glaring at him with an evil smile. Right by his right side, was a tall man with crimson hair and tanned skin. He was dressed in metal armor and a flowing, scarlet cape.

"I-It's you!" Pit shuttered, petrified with fright. "Y-You're still angrily at me for bumping into you yesterday?"

"Yes, I am!" the turtle replied vengefully. He suddenly snatched Pit's paper lunch bag from his shaking hand and it held it from the angel's reach.

"Hey!" Pit shouted angrily, jumping to retrieve Roy's lunch. "Give it back!"

"If you want it back, fight for it!" The turtle was about to grab Pit by one of his wings and fling him across the cafeteria when all of a sudden, someone aggressively stomped on his tail. "Ywoch!" The turtle yelled. He turned around and spotted an irate Marth glaring at him with narrowed cerulean eyes. Ike was right next to him, keeping an eye on the two opponents. "Oh, it's you Marth." The turtle said to the prince. "What do you want?"

"Give it back to Pit." Marth spoke sternly, pointing at the lunch bag.

"No!"

"BOWSER!" Marth shouted furiously, his annoyed eyes widening. Bowser sighed and tossed the lunch bag back to Pit.

"Here you go." Bowser said frustratingly. "But I'm giving back just because the prince here said so. Next time, you won't be so lucky!" Bowser spoke before turning to the ginger-haired man. "Let's get some lunch, Ganondorf." The two went towards the food bar without another word.

"Thanks, Marth." Pit thanked the now-smiling prince. "Was that actually Bowser and Ganondorf themselves?"

"Yes." Marth answered with a sad gleam in his eyes. "They are bad."

"I know." Ike spoke up. "Just look at how they treated Pit!"

"Back at Melee Tournament, they tease me and old friend." Marth continued. "They call me girly and weak." Pit slightly jumped at the mention of the words "old" and "friend".

"W-Who was this old friend?" Pit asked with interest. Marth may give some information about Roy! Marth's small smile turned into a gloomy look.

"His name Roi." Marth began. Ike listened carefully along with Pit. "He… He from Fire Emblem." Marth shuttered as he tried to speak proper English. "He i-is a loyal and funny friend. When Bowser and Ganondorf tease me, Roi-kun w-would defend me." After finishing that statement, Marth clutched his fists as he felt tears stinging his eyes.

"Did anything happen to him?" Ike warily asked, expecting Marth to break down into tears.

"I…" Marth spoke up, his tiny voice shaking like a small earthquake. "I don't want to say it…" Pit was about to object when Ike spoke up.

"If you don't want to say what happened to Roy, then it's ok." He said gently. "Hey Pit, do you want to sit with us?"

"Sorry, I'm kinda busy." Pit answered with a wink. Ike caught the meaning of the wink and nodded his head in understanding.

"Let's get some lunch, Marth." Ike told the prince, who quickly wiped away his tears and smiled back.

As soon when Marth and Ike left, Pit hurried back to his room, unobvious to the fact a certain Hylian was listening to the short conversation. Link was eating his lunch by himself; he couldn't find Princess Zelda. When he saw Bowser and Ganondorf picking on Pit, he was about to march towards the two evil kings and defend the helpless angel, when Marth took care of the situation himself. After that, Link "accidentally" overheard the conversation about Roy with his pointy, sensitive ears. Roy? His cousin had a lot to say about Roy. He described the redhead as an immature, annoying, and rude swordsman. Concluding the Hero of Time's description as true, Link did not follow Pit and continued to consume his food.

Roy just signed his name on his letter when Pit entered his room and closed the door behind him. "Hey Roy, I brought you some lunch." he said.

"Thanks." Roy said, folding his letter neatly and putting it in an envelope. The angel took two sandwiches out and began munching on one. Roy took the other one and began to eat it.

"Why were you writing a letter?" Pit suddenly questioned, eying the envelope in his hand. Roy swallowed his chewed food.

"Well, I've found out I've been in the attic for months." Roy answered. "My friends and family hadn't heard from me for a while, so I decided write a letter to them."

"How are you going to deliver it to them?"

"You came to the Smash Mansion by a teleporter brought by Master Hand, right?" Roy began to explain. "Well if I remember correctly, we can send letters through a specific teleporter that transfers letters back to our homeland."

"That's cool!" Pit remarked. He took a small sip of grape soda.

"I know!" Roy replied. "I'm planning to deliver the letter after lunch. Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure!"

After finishing their lunch, the two snuck through the hallway, down the stairs, pass the crowded cafeteria, into the teleporter room. It was a strange, large room filled with about fifty teleporting machines. Each of them looked exactly the same, only that they had a name and number indicating what was its destination.

"Let's see..." Roy said, walking around the room with Pit. "Hyrule... Mushroom Kingdom... Kanto Region... Oh! There it is! Pherae!" The redhead pointed to a teleporter with the name "Pherae" on it. He went towards it and pointed to a slot big enough for a letter to fit. "Pit, this is where we put the letter. The teleporter will teleport it back to the destined land." Roy set the letter in the slot and waited for the complicated machine to take it in. Strangely, nothing happened. Is there a glitch? With a raised eyebrow, he tried to force his letter in like if he was trying to force a stuffed suitcase shut.

"Are you supposed to do that?" Pit asked.

"N-No!" Roy answered. With a frustrated grunt, he pulled the letter out of the slot. "It's supposed to automatically take it in!" Pit went behind the teleporter and took a closer look at it. There must be something wrong with the teleporter! Is it missing a part? The angel sudden gasped when he noticed the problem with the machine. Although he was no expert in technology like Fox, Falco, and Samus, he noticed two large sockets.

"Hey, this machine is missing an important plug!" Pit pointed to the two sockets and Roy took a look. Blood drained from the redhead's shocked face.

"What happened?!" Roy asked panicky. "It was there the last time I came here! Who would take it away?!" With a cry full of anguish, Roy collapsed on his knees. The tears that poured in his distressed wide eyes blurred his vision from reality. "N...No. How am I supposed to keep in touch with my family and friends now?!" Pit kneeled next to the sorrowful redhead, who immediately buried his weeping face into his soft, white toga.

Link, who just finished his delicious lunch, was exiting the cafeteria when his pointy ears picked up a small cry followed by muffled sob. That cry... It sounded like it was full of sadness. Tracing the source of the sobbing with his ears, the Hero of Twilight was led to the teleporter room, where he saw Pit trying to comfort Roy. Link recognized Pit, but wondered who was that red-haired teen. He went closer to the two to try to get a better look. Pit heard Link's footsteps, looked up and alarm, and attempted to hide Roy with his wings but it was too late. The Hylian had already seen everything.

Roy lifted his head, turned around, and saw Link examining him with his curious azure eyes. Ruffled cardinal hair, navy-blue eyes, short and skinny body... Wait. Link's pointy ears twitched when he realized who the redhead is. This boy's physical appearance matches his cousin's description of Roy Pherae! Why is he crying?

"Are you ok?" Link gently asked. Roy sniffed softly. "Don't cry, Roy." The redhead's eyes widened when Link said his name.

"L-Link?" Roy questioned, wiping his eyes. "Is that really you?" Usually, Link would just ignore him! Link smiled at the confusion, kneeled down, and cupped Roy's soft hair with his warm hand.

"I'm a different Link." Link said. "I'm the Hero of Twilight, not time. Now, can you tell me why are you upset?" Liking the new Link, Roy began to explain what happened to him. After hearing the redhead's depressing story, Link's eyes narrowed sadly. "I'm sorry." he said. "I would try to find the missing plug but I have no idea where it could be." The Hylian's sensitive ears perked up when he heard footsteps walking down the hallway, towards the teleporter room.

"What's wrong, Link?" Roy asked.

"Someone's coming!" Link whispered, standing up. "He's coming this way!"

"We can't let him see Roy!" Pit said, standing up with Roy. "Let's go!"

Link cautiously hurried out of the room and looked around for the other brawlers. He heard Fox and Falco casually chatting with each other. "The coast is clear! Go!" Link whispered loudly before taking off. Pit and Roy scurried out of the room after the Hylian but in the hurry, Roy's letter slipped out of his fingers like ice on a flat surface. It slid unobtrusively on the floor next to a teleporter that led to a certain star ship.


"Hey, Ernest!" The white-haired crook whispered to the brunette crook. The two were dressed up as gardeners, which consisted of dirty overalls, mud-smeared shirts, and leather boots. Held in their gloved hands were a rake and shovel. "This outfit looks so stupid on me!"

"I know, Bruce." Ernest responded. "Doug, is this actually going to work?"

"Yes, it is." Doug replied with a sigh. He was sitting in the van. The back doors were wide open in advance. "You guys remember the plan, right?"

"Enter the mansion, tell the idiot brawlers that you are just here to work on the backyard, pretend to work on the backyard, look around for the angel and redhead, grab them, and return to the van." Ernest repeated the steps.

"Well done." Doug smiled before hissing, "Now, get to work!"

Bruce and Ernest cautiously went towards the front door of the Smash Mansion and knocked on the door. A blond princess wearing a fancy pink dress greeted them. "Hello, er- Who are you guys?"

"We're gardeners." Bruce said, trying not to sound suspicious. Princess Peach raised an eyebrow and her baby blue eyes filled with distrust. This doesn't sound right… "Master Hand called us to work on the backyard."

"Really?" Princess Peach asked. "We usually have volunteering brawlers do yard work…" she said softly to herself.

"Ma'am, we're here to do yard work." Ernest spoke.

"What's going on here?" A pointy-eared princess wearing a white and purple dress asked. Princess Peach turned to Princess Zelda with a worried look.

"Zelda, these guys say they are here to do yard work." Princess Peach whispered. "Did Master Hand actually call them?"

"I don't think so." Princess Zelda whispered back. "The yard looks fine! It doesn't need work!" The two princesses looked at the two criminals with a suspicious glare.

"Err… We got the wrong address?" Bruce said uneasily with a nervous smile.

"Mario! Luigi!" Princess Peach shouted for her most trusted men.

"Link, I need your assistance!" Princess Zelda called for her hero.

"Let's go, Bruce!" Ernest quickly said, running back to the van.

"Yeah!" Bruce hastily replied, running after his partner. The two princesses watched the distrustful men run exit the front yard and dash down the block like if they just saw a ghost.

"Princess Peach and Zelda! What-a is it?!" Mario asked. He and his brother Luigi hurried towards the two princesses.

"Mario and Luigi!" Princess Peach gasped. "There were strangers trying to enter the Smash Mansion!"

"Why?" Luigi gulped; he did not like the sound of this.

"We don't know." Princess Zelda answered, trying to stay calm. "All I know is they were up to no good."

"I'm reporting to Master Hand about this incident." Mario said, hurrying to the Hands' office.
