Marth's New Sword
Chapter 2: How It Ended
Marth and Ness ran for their lives through the large estate.
"Everyone get away! There's a fire in the mansion!" cried Marth as he passed Red and Pit.
Ness followed closely behind him saying, "It's not my fault! It's not my fault!" Red and Pit looked at each other.
"If there's a fire, I know what to do!" said Red as he pulled out a poke ball from his belt. "Squirtle, I choose you!" Squirtle popped out of the ball and started running around in a circle.
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" Pit raised an eyebrow.
"Um, what's wrong with him?" Squirtle tapped the end of the poke ball and jumped back inside. "You mean to tell me you're pokemon is afraid of fire?!" exclaimed Pit. Red picked up the ball and started shaking it up and down.
"No he's not! He's just being dumb right now!" Red chucked the ball into the wall which made a hole in the wallpaper. "Oops..." Pit looked behind him and saw the fire heading towards them.
"We gotta move!" he said as he grabbed Red by the shirt and ran away from the flames.
"Wait! What about Squirtle?!"
"We have no choice but to leave him!" Red pulled away form Pit and ran to the hole where he threw the poke ball.
"I'm not leaving Pikachu!"
"Wait, Pikachu? I thought you wanted Squirtle!!"
"Oh yeah. Squirtle! I'll save you!"
Red jumped forward and crashed through the wall. He fell out of the mansion and onto the green lawn outside. "Wow, this place sure has poor insulation." Red looked under him to find the poke ball with his blue pokemon. "Squirtle! I found you!" Red opened the poke ball, but frowned when nothing came out. "Squirtle?" Red saw Squirtle tracks leading into the forest outside the mansion. Squirtle had run away. "NNOOOOOOO!!!11!!1" Red wept on the lawn and made dandelions grow from all the salty tears. Inside, Pit was running down the hallway still. His wings were completely burned to ash form the fire.
"No! My wings! When I get my hands on whoever started this thing..." Pit stopped when he noticed Mario standing in the middle of the hallway. "Mario! Move!" Mario did not notice Pit and he collided with him and they landed against the wall in a heap.
"Oh, mama-mia..." Pit looked at the sore plumber.
"Mario, there's a fire right over there!" Pit pointed down the hallway to the flames heading straight towards them.
"Leave it-a to me!" Mario got up and pulled out his F.L.U.D.D. He squirted the fire with all the water he could conjure, but the flames were too thick as Mario was quickly engulfed in the flames. "AAHH!!" he screamed as the human fire ball ran past Pit and down the hallway, spreading the fire faster. "Help-a MEEE!1!" Pit watched the plumber run away before he got up and attempted to follow without being eaten by the flames.
Meanwhile, Marth and Ness organized all the other smashers into the main auditorium. He, Ness and Master Hand all stood on the stage.
"Everyone listen! If we don't act quickly, the fire will kill us all!" cried Marth trying to get everyone's attention. The other smashers were talking amongst themselves and yelling back at him.
"No!! I don't want to die!"
"Head for the hills!"
"There's a fire in the mansion!"
"A fire?! We must leave now!"
"No, we can fight it! We just need to Falcon PAWNCH! it away!"
"That's the stupidest idea I ever heard! We must use dirt to cover it up!"
"If we do that the whole mansion will get dirty!"
"Sonic's the name-"
"Don't even start, Sonic!"
"-speed's my game!"
"Okay, that's it! RAAAAARRGH!!!1!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
"Stop making so mush noise, I'm trying to think!"
"Screw you! We should feed you to the flames!"
"Maybe that's it! The fire can only be stopped with a sacrifice!"
"Yes! We need a sacrifice!"
"But who?!?"
Everyone in the audience went quiet and they all looked at Sonic.
"Whoops, gotta go," he said before taking off at the speed of sound.
"Get the hedgehog!!!" cried Ganondorf.
"YYAAAHHH" cheered the others as they all split up through the mansion to go find Sonic so they could sacrifice him to the fire gods. Master Hand, Ness and Marth stood on the stage silently.
"See, this is the reason why none of you are aloud to use you're powers outside of the stages," said Master Hand. Ness gulped loudly but Master Hand did not hear him. Marth turned to his shorter friend.
"Ness, who started the fire in the first place?" asked Marth seriously. Ness froze. He knew that if he told him the truth, the others would have his head. He needed to think up a lie and quick.
"Um, Marth, you...you didn't know?" Marth raised an eyebrow.
"Know what?" Ness shuffled his feet nervously.
"Um, that...that it was...you!" Marth looked shocked and took a step back.
"What?! How could it be me?! I don't even have any fire powers!" Ness kept pushing at him.
"It was all because of you're..." Ness looked at Marth's weapon. "...Bat." Marth looked down at his weapon then back at Ness.
"That's absurd! What does my bat have anything to do with all this?!" Master Hand was taking interest in the conversation he was hearing.
"So, Marth, you mind telling us the truth?" he asked casually.
"What?! What truth?! I didn't start the fire!" Ness thought back before speaking.
"Remember when I gave you the bat and you were so excited that you locked me in the item storage room?" asked Ness. Master Hand immediately took control of the conversation.
"Wait, what were you doing in the item storage room anyway? You're not supposed to be in there!"
"Marth made me!" Master Hand looked at the swordsman.
"Is this true Marth?" Marth's face was getting red.
"Why are you asking me?! I don't even know what he's saying!"
"You slammed the door so hard that it triggered all the bombs in the room and created a massive explosion! That is the cause of the fire!" said Ness. Master Hand grabbed Marth's collar.
"So, you're the one who started the whole thing..." Marth struggled but could not match the hand's awesome strength.
"No! It wasn't me! Im telling you-"
"Enough! I don't want to hear anymore lies. I'm sure the other smashers would love to hear you're story." Marth looked down at Ness who smiled.
"Sorry," said Ness in his mind. "It was the only way I could get out of it." Master Hand was about to punish Marth when the large doors at the back of the auditorium burst open and a flaming plumber came through.
"AAAAHHH!!!1!!!11!1!one!11!!!!11!!!!!!!" he screamed as he ran across the room and jumped on the stage. The stage curtain's immediately caught fire and it spread across the platform. Master Hand dropped Marth.
"Mario?! What the hell are you doing?!?!" Mario started doing the stop drop and roll until his clothes were no longer on fire. His entire outfit was charred black, though.
"Ah, much-a better." All four of them jumped off the stage and went to the dining room.
"Surely it's safe in the dining room!" said Master Hand. They burst through the door only to see Sonic in a corner with all the other smashers approaching around him.
"Kahly-MAH! Kahly-MAH!" they chanted. Ganondorf was (obviously) leading the group.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!" screamed Master Hand. The other smashers turned to him and seemed embarrassed. Ganondorf's face was turning red.
"Um, we were going to sacrifice Sonic to the fire gods," said Ganondorf. Master Hand jumped onto the table in the middle of the room.
"Look, no one is being sacrificed to any fire gods!" he yelled.
"What about the sun gods?" asked Luigi.
"No!!! No one is being sacrificed!"
"Awww...." said all the smashers. Sonic stood up from the corner and jumped on the table.
"Gee, thanks guys! It's good to know we can all get along!" he said. Everyone stared at him with eerie eyes (except Maste Hand who just floated while facing him).
"On second thought, let's sacrifice him," said Master Hand.
"YYAAAYY!!" cheered everyone as they all surrounded the hedgehog on the table. Even Mario joined in. Marth and Ness however, stood on the side.
"Well this is just great. Not only did my sword break today, but the mansion caught on fire, Master Hand thinks I caused it all, and now they're going to kill Sonic (which isn't so bad if you think about it)!" said Marth. Ness sighed.
"Oh well, it was nice knowing you," Ness replied when he noticed the flames breaking through the door. He sat on the floor patiently and waited for his inevitable death. Ganondorf was tying Sonic down to a chair while the others continued chanting. Suddenly, the window in the room broke open and Red stood outside watching the scene.
"Um, guys, what's going on?" he asked.
None of the others looked at him except Marth who just said, "well, at least one of us is sane..." A smile covered Red's face.
"Have on fear! Squirtles are here!" An army of Squirtles crawled into the room from the window sill. The fire suddenly burst into the room at the same time. "Squirtles! Use Waterfall!" commanded Red.
"Squirtle!" cried the other Squirtles. The entire room was soaked with water from the pokemon. The water pokemon used Waterfall and pushed all of the fire out of the room. Eventually, all the fire in the mansion was put out.
"Good job!" said Red. "Now, return to you're power confined! Squirtles!! (Cardcaptors reference). All the Squirtles except for Red's original Squirtle left through the windows and went back into the wild from whence they came. Red returned Squirtle to his poke ball and smiled to the other smashers. His expression changed when he noticed Ganondorf holding a large knife over Sonic's tied down body. The others were still chanting.
"Oh mighty gods of fire! We are sorry for abusing you're powers! Please accept this hedgehog as a humble token of our-"
"Hey, guys, the fires already out," said Red. The others turned to him. Apparently, they didn't seem to notice the mob of Squirtles completely drench the place. Marth and Ness were still standing on the side.
"Oh," said Ganondorf as he hid the knife from sight. "Sorry guys, parties over."
"Awww," said the other smashers. Master Hand snapped out of his tribal trance and jumped back on the table.
"Well, um, thank you Red for stopping the fire for us," he said as he turned to Marth. "And as for you, I think you should tell everyone how this whole mess started in the first place." Marth stepped forward for everyone in the silent room to see.
"Okay, I'll talk. It all started when Bowser-"
"Just get to the point already!" screamed Wario above all the silence.
"Basically, my sword broke so Ness went into the item storage room..."
"Gasp! Item Storage room!"
"...and he..." Marth looked at Ness who had tears forming in his eyes. "...he...didn't do anything...I started the fire....it's my fault."
"That's what I wanted to hear," said Ganondorf as he pulled out the knife he was going to stab Sonic with. "Let's get this over with nice and quietly now-"
"Wait!!" shouted Ness.
"OH NOW WHAT?!?!?" cried Ganondorf. Ness stepped in front of Marth.
"Marth's lying! I set the mansion on fire! I used my Pk fire to set the item storage room on fire! It's al my fault! Punish me!!" he cried. Marth put his arm in front of Ness.
"No, he's lying! It's all my fault!" The others were getting confused. Ganondorf tossed the knife up and down in the air impatiently. Master Hand could see the tension growing among the smashers so he silently floated out of the room.
"Oh well, it was nice knowing them. Better get started on cleaning up the place," he chuckled. The dining room was silent as Marth and Ness stared at the other smashers. Ganondorf was losing his patience. "Look, I haven't killed anything in over 5 hours! Someone is going to die today! And I don't care who it is!" started the king of evil, "If both of you are saying it's you're faults...there's only one thing to do..."
Marth and Ness both closed their eyes, ready to accept their fate. Ganondorf continued.
"We must...KILL SONIC!!!" Sonic jumped up.
"What!?!?" he cried.
"GET HIM!!!!!" Everyone except Marth and Ness jumped on the blue hedgehog and started beating the crap out of him.
"WWAAAAHHH!!!! MOOMMY!!!" cried Sonic as Ganondorf's fist collided with his face. Marth and Ness just smiled at each other.
"Hey, thanks for sticking up for me," said Ness.
"No problem at all, I'm sure you would have done the same thing..." Marth gave him an evil smirk as he pulled out the home run bat. Ness started backing up from him.
"Hey, wait Marth, what are you doing?" Marth slowly stepped towards the boy, clutching the bat tightly.
"Oh nothing. Just a little something I'd like to call...PAY BACK!!!!" Marth swung the bat hard at Ness but he dodged, which created a large gash in the wall. Ness ran out the door.
"Marth! Stop!!" Marth's grin did not disappear.
"Come back Ness! I promise this will only hurt a little!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And so, to conclude, Marth got his revenge on the boy who tried to turn him in. The bat that he had taken from the item storage room really payed off.
Ness was sore for a little while but after a few months, he was back on his feet and ready to brawl.
Marth did get a real new sword eventually after ordering it online at this cool website called eBay. It looked just like his old one and he finally managed to beat Ike without cheating.
Master Hand put all the smash crew in charge of cleaning the mansion which took them nearly a year to finish because they all kept goofing off every 20 minutes or so.
Mario ditched his F.L.U.D.D. after realizing that it was unable to put out fires regardless of the fact that it squirted water.
Pit's wings did not grow back so he had to buy some new ones made out of wax. He was fine with these until he flew too close to the Sun and the wax melted making his wings fall off again (Daedalus and Icarus reference). After that, he stole Meta Knight's wings and painted them white to make it look like his.
Red became the King of Spain after overthrowing the government with an army of Squirtles. He writes back to his fellow smashers every now and then.
Bowser got in the Guiness World Book of Recordsfor being the laziest video game villain of all time.
King Dedede got fatter than he already was until he stopped walking and had to get around by magic carpet. It was pretty convenient when it came to brawl matches.
Ganondorf made an appearance in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom starred as the main villain who rips peoples' hearts from their bodies. He made millions of dollars but blew it all partying.
And as for Sonic, he was stuck in the local hospital in a coma for well over 2 years until he was finally allowed back to join the ranks of brawl again....where they then beat the crap out of him again.
And they lived happily ever after, that is, until Mr. Game and Watch was abducted by a mailman and shipped off to Norway for 5 years before any of the other smashers noticed he was missing.
THE END
Author's Note: You know, I tend to notice with my short stories that they usually have two chapters. One for the introduction and is not so funny. And another for the ending which is hilarious. I don't know why but I kinda like it. If you guys liked this, you should read my other short Brawl stories on my profile or you can browse them in the Smash Bros section. I'm sorry for any Sonic fans if I tortured him too much in this story. I even think I went a little too far, but still, it was pretty funny. I actually am a huge Sonic fan myself, but I don't think he's that good or cool in Brawl, which is why I make fun of him so much in my stories. Anyways, thanks for reading and putting up with my bad comedy! Don't forget to please review! I would really appreciate it!
