(Before I begin this next part of the story I would like to inform my readers that much of this dialogue was taken from the official manga of the Metroid series that documents the earlier years of Samus's life. I do not own Metroid or anything it affiliates with and I would like to pay the proper homage to this manga. Now with that said and done let's get on with the story. Also a note: Long paragraphs in Italics are narrations done by Samus. This is her dream after all.)
Cosmo-Calendar 2000. The galaxy met with a very prosperous age. A governance alliance called the Galactic Federation was established to represent and protect the planets of the galaxy.
A resource ship traveled the cosmos, its destination, home.
The Federation's spaceship sailed the heavens as a most important caravan of the stars. The prosperity of planetary exchanges and negotiations were all due to this ship, and an energy source for travel was necessary.
It was a routine job for the experienced pilots of the ship for they knew what it was they needed as they approached a nearby planet.
Planetary Colony K-2L was used in mining crystals. Afloraltite. These crystals were used in fueling the ship's ignition module.
The need for Afloraltite was in high demand in order to keep the peace in the galaxy and these veteran pilots were more than happy to help with that.
I lived with the mining corps there with my family.
"Hey boss Aran!" called the cheerful voice of one the crew members aboard the resource ship after it had landed on K-2L, "Long time no see! How's it going?"
"Ah!" exclaimed a slightly surprised Rod Aran, supervisor of the Afloraltite mining operation on K-2L, "It's been a long trip, I know, you gotta forgive me for that!" he called to the crew, a small grin plastered on his face, "Okay! Squads six and seven bring in the Afloraltite, hurry it up!" Aran directed, immediately taking charge and moving the miners to fill the resource ship
"Rod!" a voice called, jarring the busy man from his work
"Oh Virginia…what's up?" he asked, somewhat bewildered, "Not at home today?"
"I brought you lunch!" she replied cheerfully, holding up a cylindrical food carrier
"Wh-What?" he responded, flabbergasted, "You came here for that…?" he wondered, a quizzical look adorning his features
"Huh?" Virginia asked, now she being the one confused at her own husband's confusion, "You need to eat too y'know." She replied, "You've been so busy lately that you haven't even been sleeping!!" she said, in a scolding manner
"Ha ha, well…" he replied, feeling slightly embarrassed at his own short-coming, "…There's a pivotal assembly coming up, they'll need this afloraltite." He replied, trying to explain himself to his wife, "It's my part to make sure that the galaxy flourishes!" he replied, feeling a well of achievement rise up in him, "It's more or less impossible for me to quit now!!" he replied, laughing somewhat as his predicament
Virginia smiled, despite the fact that her heart fell at the sound of her husband's words. His duty to others was what she loved most about him but at times it took away from what she thought was really important.
"But don't you also owe it to your family?" she asked, "It's important to keep your promise to them too." She pointed out
Rod could see the mixed look in his wife's eyes. She was proud of him for being so diligent to the federation and its goals for peace, but even so it seemed to take away from his own happiness.
"You're right." He said, giving his wife a reassuring smile, "My promise to love them." He said, bringing her to his side, "Virginia…" he murmured, her warmth giving him a feeling of love and acceptance
Virginia didn't say any more but she knew that no matter what, Ron would never overlook the most important thing in his life; His family.
Then one day…
"Ahh, darn!" yelled a voice in obvious irritation, "Give that back, it's mine!" the voice yelled, directed toward a small, rabbit-like creature who held what seemed to be a small backpack, "Leave it, come on!" she half-whined, hoping the creature would return her stolen backpack
The barer of the voice was a young girl with short tousled blonde hair, blue eyes and a sweet, if not slightly irritated look upon her face. She glared up at the small creature that looked down at her with a mixed look of interest and bewilderment from its perch atop a tree. The young girl attempt to leap up the tree even though it was clear she didn't have the ability to. Before she could attempt to break her neck her name was called out, gaining her attention.
"Hey! Samus!" someone called and the aforementioned girl named Samus turned her head toward two children running up to her; a boy and girl
"What are you doing? Big news!" replied the girl
"There something going on to the south!" replied the young boy
Both children ran up to Samus, their faces bright as the sun for the news they had just heard as Samus simply looked on in fascination.
"A new ship showed up!" the girl said excited
"They're arguing about somethin'! With guys called "Choujinzoku!" the boy exclaimed
"Eh?" she gasped in excitement, "Wh-What…?" she mumbled
Not many people came to the colony which made any visit a real treat. Many of the workers at the mine were perplexed by these new arrivals and their strange ship; which needed a particular source of energy.
"What the hell? You want our afloraltite?" one of the workers asked, perplexed toward their strange cloaked visitors
"No, that's not really it." Replied one of the cloaked figures, "I just need to borrow some, quickly!" he quickly explained "…and…I think this is the only place I can get it." He mentioned
"Ah, sorry. What's up?" asked a Boss Aran, pushing through the crowd of workers to see what the commotion was, "What's going on?" he asked
"Oh, Boss Aran, they're…" One of the workers replied
A few moments later…
"Now this is a problem…if an observer from the Chairman of the Federation found out…" mumbled Aran, wondering what the consequences would be if he freely gave out the pricy afloraltite, "But the excavated goods are under my control for the federation so it should be okay…" he thought, thinking over the possible outcomes, "What do I do?" he wondered, "What would be a sensible decision for these Choujinzoku?" he pondered, trying to come to a reasonable conclusion
Unknown to the perplexed mining foreman a small trio of troublemakers were making their presence known.
"Ah ha, ha! Wait up Samus!" called out the boy merrily
"No! I'm not gonna lose!" Samus yelled back, giggling, unaware of the figure dead in front of her
Wham!
"Urg!" grunted Samus, running full speed into a cloaked figure
The impacted caused the cloaked figure's hood to fall from his face, revealing his true form for all to see. With the head of a bird and blank, yellow eyes this strange creature standing before the young girl was a sight to behold. Samus gasped in surprise over this strange creature, feeling a host of emotions welling up within her.
"C'mere Samus." Her father called, jarring her from her astonishment
"Ah, Papa!" she cried out, knowing full well she was in for it
"I told you to stay away from here!" he yelled, feeling annoyed
"Oh, oh, you okay little girl?" asked the bird creature sincerely, "Are you hurt?"
"Ah…no…" replied Samus, taken back by the strange creature's appearance
The old Choujinzoku sensed Samus's alarm, his own eyes widening in surprised as he figured out what troubled Samus.
"Is this the first time you've seen a Choujin?" he asked
Samus didn't reply and the old bird took this as a yes.
"Don't be afraid." He replied earnestly, "My appearance may differ, but inside…" he explained, "Peace dwells within both your heart and mine just the same." He replied
Samus's expression changed from surprise to content and the old bird continued.
"You can call me "Old Bird"…" he replied "or "Bird Grandpa" is fine too." He replied, "Do you want to be friends?" he asked genuinely
In respect Samus replied properly to the old bird.
"I'm Samus Aran, three years old." She said, and to his question, "Yeah, okay!"
That's when Samus remembered her earlier predicament and talking to Old Bird gave her an idea.
"Hey hey, c'mere!" she asked pulling on the arm of Old Bird
"Hm?" he wondered as she pulled him away
"Please…?" she asked, hoping he would come
Old Bird didn't have much choice in the matter. The little girl was much stronger than she appeared as she basically dragged the Choujin away.
"Ah, ah…" he gasped, slightly shocked at the girl's forwardness
"Ah! Sa-Samus, wait!" her father called, trying to stop them, but they were already at the stairs leading to the base of the mining area
"W-Wait, Old Bird…!?" called out the other cloaked figure
"Ah, ah, I'm sorry Grey Voice." Old Bird called back, "Please continue with the negotiations." He managed to say before Samus pulled him completely out of sight
"That kid is trouble…" Rod Aran mumbled, scratching his head in confusion
Grey Voice simply stared off to where Old Bird once was, his hood down to reveal a face of concern.
A few moments later (again)…
"Eh, can you fly?" Samus half-asked, half-hoped
As she has approached the area where she had lost her backpack she began to have doubts about Old Bird's ability to lift off the ground.
"Ah, that's not it." Old Bird replied, "We lost use of our wings a long time ago." He replied solemnly, "Sorry to say."
Samus looked downtrodden at this sudden declaration, looking up at the creature that still held her beloved backpack.
"If you can't fly, neither can I…" she stated, "What can I do? How can I get that back…?" she wondered
Her pondering gave the aged Choujin an idea.
"Hm, if you let yourself get worked up you'll never get it back." He told her
"Eh?" she mumbled, bewildered by Old Bird's words
"What if he wants to be friends, just like you and me, Samus?" he asked her
This question lead to the beginning of a solution for Samus's little problem.
"Why don't you start off by giving him a name?" Old Bird asked her
"Eh? A name…?" she asked perplexed, but soon she went along with the idea, "Hmm…" she thought, trying hard to come up with a name
In seconds an idea hit her and without hesitation she blurted it out for all to hear.
"Ponchi!!"
As if this was its name from the very beginning the small rabbit-like creature perked up at Samus's proclamation, squeaking in surprise. Samus and Old Bird noticed this and turned ever so slightly to the creature. When Samus and Old Bird saw the look of surprise on its face they could help but giggle at the sight. They quickly turned away before it noticed them, the look of bemusement still plastered on their faces.
"Heh." Chuckled Old Bird, his plan working like a charm
"Eh, heh." Laughed Samus, "Eh, heh heh!"
Soon the forest was filled with their laughter over nothing but the exploits of a little girl and her newest friend.
Some time later…
From the looks of things the strange ship of the Choujinzoku was beginning to take off, the negotiations at an end.
"We trust the Choujinzoku." Replied Rod Aran, but the look on his face betray his feelings for what he was going to say next, "But that is another story…we just can't do it under these circumstances. Please understand?" he asked
"No no, we understand your position in entrusting that much from the federation." Replied Grey Voice
"We didn't mean to cause any troubles for you." Replied Old Bird, "Forgive our rudeness."
"So you're going?" asked Samus somberly, "But we're friends…" she groaned
"Y-Yeah, but we have a job to do." Replied Old Bird, somewhat shocked at Samus's reaction
"BIRD GRANDPA! COME BACK!" Samus yelled to the heavens as the Choujinzoku's ship left
Leaving the orbit of K-2L…
Meanwhile, back on Bird Grandpa's ship…
"Failed, as we had expected…" Grey Voice commented, "But we tried. Without the Afloraltite we just don't have the sufficient energy."
"Hmm." Muttered Old Bird, "We don't have time. We have to change the plan." He said before reply in the earnest of ways, "In any case, we must stop the Metroid Cultivation!"
Both Choujinzoku understood that much.
"If we just sit idly by, it will multiply." Old Bird pointed out
"If the Galactic Federation doesn't do something, they'll be paying for it before they know it!" replied Grey Voice
Back on the colony…
"Samus was such a little cutie when she was little!" squealed the pink wearing princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, "What coulda happened that made her the stone cold wall she is today?" she wondered
"Whatever it was it is probably something that truly affected the way the woman thinks." Replied Mewtwo, coming out from the bushes
"Why'd we have to hid in the bushes anyway?" asked Young Link, "I think something crawled into my pants." He said, scratching at his hind-quarters
"It is imperative that we are not seen or we could change how this dream plays out and never discover the secret behind it." Mewtwo replied, "Luckily Samus has returned to the main mining facility so we should be okay." He replied
"Well that's a relief." Replied Pikachu, this granted him strange looks from the others, "What?"
"Whoa…did Squeakers over here talk?" Bowser asked
"Whoa…I can talk human…awesome!" cheered Pikachu
"Actually that is inaccurate." Replied Mewtwo, "The truth of the matter is that you are communicating your thoughts and because we are currently linked mentally in a dream, all language is being deciphered into a means that we may all understand." Replied Mewtwo
"So I can talk?" asked Pikachu
"Sure, let's go with that." Muttered Mewtwo
"I can talk!" squealed Pikachu, "Oh, there is so much I want to tell you guys."
"But we can already understand you." Replied Peach, "Some of us rather well."
"Yeah, but not in human language."
"What's the difference?" asked Bowser
"It's human language!"
"Yes, this is a riveting conversation, but we should really get back to Samus and discover how this dream will play out." Mewtwo replied
"So we have to hide again?" asked Young Link
"Yes." Replied Mewtwo
"But what if we get caught or someone sneaks up on us?" Young Link asked
"Inconceivable. With my divine psychic powers no body shall ever catch us, let alone sneak up on us." Mewtwo replied
"Hi weird floating cat." Replied a small voice
Meooooooow!
Mewtwo nearly jumped out of his skin, leaping into a tall tree and hanging onto it for dear life.
"He's a weird cat." Replied a little girl holding a large rabbit like creature
"You were saying "weird cat"?" quipped Bowser
"Quiet turtle."
"That's tortoise! Preferably Koopa King!"
"You're a king?" asked the girl in awe
"Yep, Bowser, the Terrible King of the Koopas." Bowser replied
"I'm Samus Aran, three years old." She said, "And this is Ponchi." She replied, referring to her fluffy friend
Ponchi tilted his head to the right and stared at the strange newcomers.
"Did you guys come with the Choujinzoku?" she asked, "'Cause if you did, Bird Grandpa already left."
"No…we uh…have a ship of our own." Replied Peach, trying to hide the fact that she was fibbing
"Oh…watcha doing here anyway?" Samus asked
"We're just…visiting. This place looks so nice that we just had to come."
"Smooth." Replied Bowser
"Hi, I'm Pikachu." Replied the yellow mouse, "I can talk."
"Really…cool?" replied Samus, unsure on how to respond
"This is troublesome." Replied Mewtwo, floating down from his perch
"Huh…?" asked Peach
Mewtwo guided her a few feet away from the others and as quietly as he was able he explained their predicament.
"She now knows that were are here." Replied Mewtwo, "The dream could change in any number of ways."
"But she doesn't know it's us. Maybe if we play along things will go smoothly." Replied Peach
"This is the human psyche I am speaking off. Nothing ever goes "smoothly" when dealing with the mind of a human."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Just as it implies." Replied Mewtwo
"Oh…" growled Peach
"I like your hat." Samus commented
"Thanks." Replied Young Link, "See, I told you this hat was cool." He said to Bowser
"Whatever long-ears."
"Hey, can you talk?" Pikachu asked Ponchi
Ponchi simply stared at Pikachu with a slightly confused look on its face.
"Guess not."
Meanwhile, in orbit around K-2L…
A strange presence moved among the shadow of the planetary colony. It was soon to be revealed that this presence was of a sinister looking ship with a mysterious aura about it. Smaller ships, mostly likely fighters, jettison themselves from the much larger space ship as it loomed in orbit around the planet. Deep within the ship's bridge sat a creature more imposing than even the ship itself. On its perch this creature stared off toward the small planet before him, having just watched the ship of the Choujinzoku fly out of sight.
"So you're going to transfer it to some far-off star, eh Old Bird?" The creature murmured
Before the creature could ponder its thoughts further it was cut off by the yell of one its subordinates.
"Sir Ridley!" The subordinate yelled, "We've picked up a large surge of energy in the form of Afloraltite. We think it's the Galactic Federation's Mining Corps."
"What!? What?" cried out Ridley, "Afloraltite?" he said dumbfounded
That's when the pieces began to fall into place and a wicked grin ran across Ridley's face.
"Ho ho, is that right?" he chuckled, beginning to understand, "That stupid old man again. What does he think he can do?" Ridley rasped
Ridley couldn't help but snicker at Old Bird's relentlessness. It made the dragon creature laugh at the hopelessness of the situation. But Ridley had other concerns at the moment than to chase some old fool.
"Pinpoint that energy source!" he ordered
Back on the planet's surface…
"Control, control, do you read!?" boomed a voice, "This is Beatrix III, advise launch procedure, control. Control?"
"Hey, why aren't you taking off?" yelled Rod Aran as he boarded the ship
"Ah, Boss!" one of the crew members gasped in surprise, "Atmospheric electromagnetic waves are toppling any ships that are trying to leave!" the crew member responded
"What!?" gasped Aran
"Infrared rays are at an abnormal level…outside electron beam irradiation is affecting the maps…"
"The maps?" Aran wondered, "The one here is most affected…" he pondered, "It's all coming from here…" he wondered, "Have they found the planet's energy source?"
That's when Rod Aran came to a startling revelation and true horror began to overtake the mining foreman.
"Sound the alarm!!" he yelled, "Send out an emergency signal!" he boomed, "Alert the Federation troops for dispatch!" he ordered
"W-what is it?" asked the crew member
"Use the terrain for shelter! It's basic tactics!!" he shouted as he made his way off the bridge of the ship
"Y-you mean…" the crew member murmur, a feeling an impending doom looming over him
"Get the entire crew to take refuge!" Aran yelled, doing his best to remain calm, "Forget the load, abandon ship!!"
That final yelled had drained the foreman and it was obvious that the man was at the end of his rope as he turned, face a flood of sweat. His next words were low, yet frightful, almost as if they were taboo or bringers of the end. And in a way, they were.
"They're coming." He said, almost unable to bear to say the next to words, "…Space Pirates."
Returning to the forest…
Not much had change since the Smashers encounter with the three year old Samus. Peach and Mewtwo were still talking amongst themselves. Bowser and Pikachu were few feet off; Pikachu talking away a mile a minute while Bowser looked like he was doing his best to keep from ringing the rodent's neck. Samus was busy playing with Ponchi, her light laughter bringing a smile to the lounging Young Link. He had never once heard Samus laugh like that and he thought the woman should do so more often. From his perch atop a tall tree the Hylian boy looked content, his mind not focused on anything in particular; his eyes half-closed.
"Now you see, as I was saying…" replied Mewtwo before his eyes went wide in shock and he looked over into the direction of the mining corps, "Oh no…"
"Ha ha, Ponchi, that tickles!" giggled Samus, before she noticed a bright light, "Hm?"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Samus's horrific scream was drowned out by the sheer ferocity that was unleashed! She held onto Ponchi for dear life as the force of the ferocious explosion threw her back. The other Smashers felt the inconceivable power released by the blast but it was Young Link who suffered the most from the concussion waves unleashed. Being high in a tree the young boy was catapulted through the air, unable to control himself and was launched miles away.
"Young Link!" Peach hollered, but it could barely be heard over the thunderous boom
"I'll retrieve Young Link!" yelled Mewtwo, "The rest of you watch over Samus and find the cause of this, but do not let yourselves be seen under any circumstances. We cannot let ourselves be drawn into a battle!" he yelled before disappearing
At the newly made battlefield…
Alien ships dived in, launching an attack on the tiny colony. Some were shot down by the defenses on the colony, spiraling down in a fiery ball of destruction, but it was obvious that there were too many ships for the small colony to handle. Leading the attacking force was Commander Ridley, flying without a ship down to the planet's surface.
"Let's Go!" yelled Ridley, "Suppress the energy, then take what you can!!"
"Yes, Sir Ridley." His troops replied, coming in fast
"Just be careful with the afloraltite!" Ridley barked, "If we hit the energy source with a beam, it'll explode!"
Ridley was feeling great excitement from the anticipation of completely destroying the colony and all that resided in it. It acted as nourishment for the despicable creature.
"This place's too quiet without us!" chuckled Ridley, "CHOP IT TO BITS!" he screeched
The alien fleet flew in over the forest, a few explosions visible as the bulk of the fleet made its way to the main colony.
"Too long since blood and meat!" roared Ridley in laughter, "KILL AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, HAVE FUN!!" he cried, "We can collect the spoils slowly later!"
Further ahead…
The horrific screams of people being slaughtered had reached the ears of the Peach, Bowser and Pikachu. The group had long since lost track of Samus, but the sight before them stopped their search in its tracks.
"T-t-t-this…is horrible…" gasped Peach, watching in agony as Samus's home world was shredded to bits
Pikachu was unable to say anything about the horror playing out before him, his jaw simply dropped in utter disbelief.
"This isn't right…" replied Bowser, truly repulsed at what he was seeing
Sure, Bowser was mean and really didn't care who he hurt to get what he wanted, but not even the Terrible King of the Koopas would do something of this magnitude. If made his stomach turn and he would see no more of it.
"Come on!" he barked, startling Peach and Pikachu from their stupor, "We're getting in this."
"But Mewtwo…" replied Peach, not being able to finish
She kept telling herself that none of what she was seeing and hearing was real, but more than anything she wanted to stop this. But the princess was afraid of what Mewtwo told her, anything could happen if they interfered. The pink princess looked to Pikachu for an answer and saw it in the form of electricity dancing wildly on his cheeks and a look of anger on his face.
"Y-y-you want to help?" she asked, unbelieving
"Help…please, I'm just want to fight. Like I'd help blondie." He said, but deep down inside there was another reason, "So come on, let's fight!" he roared
Though his put up a good show Peach saw right through Bowser and smiled. She always knew that deep down the spiked koopa had a heart. With a nod she turned to the battle, rushing in with Pikachu and Bowser at her side.
Back in the forest…
"Thanks Mewtwo." Replied Young Link, carried in the arms by the flying cat as they made their way to the main colony
"Don't mention it." Replied Mewtwo
Suddenly Mewtwo picked up on something and almost immediately afterward he sighed in defeat.
"What's wrong?" Young Link asked
"It would seem that the others had gone against my instructions and have engaged in battle with the Space Pirates."
"But this is a dream, right?" asked Young Link, "We can't really get hurt, can we?"
"Physically no, however our brains will interrupt any pain we feel in this dream as actual pain and if we should 'die' in this dream our brains will stop responding and we will truly ceasing living." He replied
"Great…" muttered Young Link
"Well, since there is no avoiding what has already come to pass, we should prepare for battle." Replied Mewtwo
"You didn't need to tell me. I'm getting back at the pirate who launched that bomb." Replied Young Link
"First we must locate Samus. She is the key to discovering just what ails her so." Mewtwo replied
Back at the fight…
"Heh heh heh" chuckled Ridley, delighting in the carnage his troops were creating
Although, the terrible space lizard was jarred from his front row seat by a small voice.
"Papa, Mama, where…where are you?" the young girl called, her rabbit-like creature huddled in her arms in fear
Crouched in a sitting position Ridley turned to the girl and simply looked at her and her to him. They didn't hear the cries of dying colonist or explosions in the background. For the moment it was only the two creatures, both with looks of plain interest for the other on their faces. Suddenly one of Ridley's subordinates came into view with news.
"Sir Ridley, we've captured their bases." He informed, "We're boarding the transport now."
"Good." Ridley replied, acknowledging the subordinate before ordering to go his other duties
"You're R-Ridley?" the young Aran asked, "I-I'm Samus." She replied, "T-Three years old…"
Tears formed in the child's eyes and yet they were not tears of sorrow. She was simply crying for she hoped she had made a new friend in Ridley. And hopefully Ridley would see here as the same.
"Ridley, I'm not scared…it'll all be okay…even though we look different…we're friends, right…?" she asked, choking with each sentence she said as she sobbed
Ridley looked down at the girl, his normal expression of sadistic pleasure gone. The murderous pirate could help but stare down at the girl in pity. She was so…innocent. In his travels the dragon had never quite met of girl like this. And as he stared at her with eyes of sympathy, something welled up inside him, returning him to his original persona.
"Hmm. Can't have a cute girl around…" he muttered to himself, knowing what would happen if he spared the child, "We just can't!!" he barked at nobody in particular
"How come…?" Samus asked, quivering
Ridley couldn't afford to let his heart get the best of him now. It would be better off for the girl if she simply vanished…simply…
"TIME FOR YOU TO DISAPPEAR!!"
Samus screamed bloody murder as the ravenous Ridley attacked, her scream of pure fear alerting quite a lot of people to her presence.
"Was that Samus?" Peach asked, having just dealt with a Space Pirate with her trusty frying pan
"Yeah." Replied Pikachu
Bowser had heard it too. But so had someone else.
"Samus!?" cried Virginia, finally finding her daughter amidst the chaos
"Ah, mama…" Samus gasped, watching her mother run toward her
The other Smashers ran toward Samus as well, but they wouldn't make it in time as Ridley opened his mouth. Plasma flames danced in his gullet, aimed right for the young Samus Aran.
"We will take that afloraltite reserve!" roared Ridley, "EVERYTHING WILL BURN!" he bellowed, unleashing his breath attack
The ground buckled under the ferocious power unleashed by his breath attack, an attack that literally ignited the air around it, making it even more lethal than it already was. When it hit its target the beam exploded in a massive fireball that incinerated the victim, thought not without giving the poor receiver of the blow time to unleash one last blood-curdling scream.
"KYAA!"
"MAMA!"
The three Smashers arrived just in time to see the brutal end of the mother of Samus Aran. Eyes fell upon Ridley, the last of his flames dissipating into the wind.
"Y-y-you…" snarled Peach, pointing accusingly at Ridley, "Monster!" she barked
She didn't care if this was a dream. Ridley was going to pay for what he had just done.
"Pi…" growled Pikachu, electricity swarming about him like a storm
Bowser didn't make an utterance, simply standing and glaring at the horrendous creature standing in front of him.
Ridley turned to these new creatures, a wicked grin sliding across his face. With a voice that dripped in venom he spoke to the angered Smashers
"So…it would seem you Smashers want to interfere with this dream." He said
This will end chapter two. Hope you like it and I hope you'll enjoy the next chapters coming out.
