Hack: Wow, long delay… Sorry about that, especially since it's been the summer and I haven't had much free time. Crazy, huh?
Ness: But you're supposed to have more free time!
Hack: Bah, school project crap and such.
Fox: (reading chapter) Hey… I have a feeling it's kinda repetitive…
Hack: I think so too. Sorry for those who think the challenge here is pretty repetitive, but I wanted to get it out of the way for now. A new joke will be starting in this chapter too though, in the Blue Team! Hope you enjoy!

Day 6
Red Team
"Sure, I'll join it…" Fox said to Krystal in seclusion from the entire tribe. "But there isn't much point right now…"
"Why not?" asked Krystal.
"Because… We know that almost everyone's going to vote for Porky."
"Yes, but then just to be safe… We might as well stick together as a group."
"I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out something. So who are Link and Zelda going to vote for?"
"Porky."
"Not surprised," shrugged Fox as he heard another explosion. He sighed. "We might as well go back before we're framed or something… Someone must've stolen the stored food again."
"And that must have been Samus blowing up Porky," said Krystal.
"Ouch, Samus blew up Porky pretty badly…" said Captain Falcon.
"Do you want some of this?" asked Samus, standing over a burned Porky.
"No, Ma'am!" cried Captain Falcon, hiding behind a tree.
"But it's quite strange…" said Snake. "That thief got through my traps successfully without triggering them, meaning someone's either really smart or that person is in this tribe…" Louie gulped.
"No, actually, people would be kinda retarded to fall for your traps as you've got machines and such attached everywhere around our food storage…" Roy pointed out.
KABOOM!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Samurai Goroh was sent flying by Snake's traps; he was previously taking a walk to warm up his muscles for the possible challenge.
"…Looks like we've got one retard here," chuckled Popo.
Goroh landed on his head right beside Snake, who was glaring down at him.
"So…. You decided that since people are blaming Porky for the food thieving, you can have another go? I think not!" said Snake, kicking Goroh in the side.
"Ohhhh… My back… My spleen…" groaned Goroh.
"I think Goroh was just taking a walk like he said he did…" said Zelda.
"Things are reeeeally heating up here…" said Link.
"No kidding…" replied Doctor Mario, treating both Porky and Goroh at light speed.
"Hey Link!" said Captain Falcon, getting an idea to see someone else get beaten up. "Remember that time? Yesterday? Where you were 'cheating' on your girl?"
"Huh? Wait! That wasn't my fault! It was you, I was just an innocent bystander!" said Link.
"I remember," said Zelda. "Samus, will you back me up here?"
"Anything to blow up guys…" grinned Samus.
"Ugh…" Link groaned, about to run. "Where's Mewtwo when you need him?"
"Now, Mewtwo, slowly breathe in your chest…" said Rundas. Mewtwo was breathing deeply, holding in his chest. "Yeah, now breathe it all out… Your heat will all be cool now…"
Can you please call it 'anger' rather than 'heat'? asked Mewtwo, rather annoyed.
"I'm surprised you didn't blow up all this time while people were disrupting your meditations," commented Rundas.
Please. Continue the training.
"Hold on, dude, I'm getting a cool signal of someone about to get blown up by my buddy…"
…It is Samus blowing up another person.
KABOOM!
"Not surprised. Let's keep going…"
Link was hiding in the bushes, not noticing the meditating Mewtwo and Rundas.
Where to hide… Where to hide… Where to hide…
"You can't hide from me, Link!" Samus called out, with Zelda right behind her.
"Oh man…" muttered Rundas. "What did Link do this time?"
Link is falsely accused of peeping on Samus.
"Again?"
No. Captain Falcon, the real peeper, reminded Zelda about it.
"Shouldn't you help Link by telling them the truth, dude? We can take on both Zel and Sam together easily."
…Honestly, it's quite amusing to see others suffer.
KABOOM!
KZAP!!
Popo was just relaxing again in the forest, outside of all the commotion back at the tribe. He needed some time to himself, thinking about the alliances and staying in the group and being separated from his sister, Nana.
"Hm… Sooner or later people are going to want to start kicking me out because I don't seem as strong without my partner…" he muttered to himself. "And my alliance numbers only two… I can get Rundas to join, he seems nice, but Samus… I'm too scared to get close to her…"
Samus blew Link up with another missile.
"…I sense someone talking about me again…" she said. "But I don't know who to blow up…"
"…Who? Rundas maybe? Captain Falcon? Falcon is an idiot, but his speed will help out a lot… He'll stay in for sure. Snake and Mewtwo are independent people… The doctor doesn't like working with others either. That leaves Link, Zel, Falcon, Goroh, Rundas, Donkey Kong, Fox, Louie, Krystal, and Porky, but Porky's going to leave. Who to join, who to join…"
Suddenly, a slip of paper fell from the sky, and Popo caught it.
"Hm… Reward Challenge? We didn't do the first one, so… I'll have to tell everyone else!" said Popo. He began to read it. "Need strength? Need accuracy? Need spinning? Look no further, as this challenge is for you! Roll a ball and blow up things is the key! Blow up ten of them in one roll to get strikes, two rolls for… um…"
Popo stopped. "…It stopped there… Must be about bowling! Wow! I can help out a lot here! Maybe I won't be so weak!"
He started to skip happily back to the tribe, happy about his possible prospects.
Green Team
"Okay, so say it to me again…" said Ash. "And very slowly. So last night…"
Sonic sighed. "For the last time… On our free night, last night, Pikachu had a cart of a dozen ketchup bottles. I don't know how, but he ordered them online, even though we don't have a computer here, and they were shipped here last night. He then drank himself to sleep. He was acting reeeally weird… Kinda drunk."
"Drunk? You can't get drunk on ketchup! Is this why he's knocked out right now?" asked Ash. Sonic nodded.
"…I'd never think someone could get drunk off of something not alcohol…" said Ike, looking down at the snoring Pikachu.
"Zzzzz… BOOM!" Pikachu snored out loudly. His snore was so loud that Ash, Sonic, and Ike were blown away by his loud explosion-sounding snore.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Wow, a little loud for the morning?" said Yoshi, gathering fruit around the trees as he saw the three aforementioned smashers fly above him.
"Definitely…" said Mario. "Still, having a free day yesterday was a nice load off of our shoulders. Yoshi!"
"What?" Yoshi asked innocently, swallowing an apple.
"All right, you're coming with me," said Mario. Yoshi's mouth was open in surprise, and Mario took this to his advantage. He swiftly stuck his hand into Yoshi's mouth, grabbed his apple-juice covered tongue, and dragged Yoshi behind him.
"AHHH! GACK!! OOOOOHHH!!" Yoshi cried, resisting Mario's pulls, but it was futile. Mario tied Yoshi's tongue around a tree.
"Where is that rope when you need it?" Mario asked himself, Yoshi whimpering behind him. "Oh man…"
Falco woke up. "What the fuck??" he cried out as he found himself tied to a tree with the unbreakable rope.
It was pitch black around him. He couldn't see anything at all. "…Whoa… this is getting kinda creepy…"
Suddenly, a huge, wide face appeared with a flashlight underneath its chin.
"Welcome, Falco…" it said with a very creepy and evil grin.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Falco screamed; he almost jumped, but the ropes restrained him.
"You are in the realm… of the RING!!"
A yellow glowing circle appeared in the sky right above Falco. Another figure appeared right in front of the face with long, outgrown hair down its face.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Falco cried again. "IT'S THE RING!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I'M GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!"
He fainted.
Mr. Game and Watch took off his wig, and Pit hovered down to the ground.
"Wow, that actually worked!" said Toon Link, taking the huge cardboard box around them off. It was now bright.
"I think your toon face creeped him out a lot…" said Pit.
"BLEEP!"
"You're right, it does smell here…" said Toon Link. "Smells like…"
The three looked at each other.
"EWWWWWWWWW!!" Then they ran away from Falco.
"Look at this…" said Jigglypuff. "It's a note… I guess we're in the Reward Challenge again!"
"Great…" Ness said sarcastically, reading a book. "A challenge."
"We didn't have one yesterday, we have to expect one today and tomorrow," said Jigglypuff.
"I suppose. Read it out, Jiggs."
"…It's about bowling. We're bowling."
Ness jumped up, sending his book flying into the innocent Geno's face. "WHAT? BOWLING?"
"Settle down, what's the fuss?" asked Geno, calmly ignoring the book.
"We're having a challenge on bowling," said Jigglypuff. "I don't see why Ness is making such a big deal out of this…"
"Bowling?" Wario popped out of nowhere. "Pshaw! I'm the king of bowling! Give me a ball and I'll strike them all out!"
"Um, Wario…" said Geno. "That's baseball, not bowling."
"But Geno," said Ness. "That sentence makes sense with Bowling too, as Wario could mean if he gets a ball, he'll strike everything out."
"Exactly! That means that he'll strike all of the batters out!"
"No! He means he'll hit strikes all the time!"
"Precisely, as in giving each batter three strikes, striking them all out!"
"Wait, but in bowling, a strike is hitting all ten pins. He's striking them out!"
"So you mean he's going to strike each bowling player out?"
"No, Geno! He means…"
"Is this argument going to go on for a while?" asked Jigglypuff.
"Doesn't matter, I'll strike 'em all out!" said Wario.
"Exactly! He'll strike all batters out!" argued Geno. Jigglypuff smacked herself.
Blue Team
"Good morning, everyone!" said Tom Nook. "Rise and shine, as breakfast is ready!"
"Mmmmm…" Bowser sniffed the air. "Smells pretty darn good… What is it?"
"Thanks to Olimar, we caught a whole bunch of dwarf red bulborbs to eat!" said Tom Nook.
"Dwarf… Bulborbs? Since when were pikmin enemies around the area?" asked Marth.
"Doesn't matter, if it's good I'll eat it!" said King Dedede.
"My pikmin informed me that there was another migration to this island," explained Olimar. "Since my pikmin know how to deal with them, they made a trap by hiding in the trees above and landing on the bulborbs' backs, then carrying them back into the cave."
"Landing on their backs kill them?" asked Marth. "Are they really that weak?"
"The dwarf bulborbs are, but wait until you meet the red spotty bulborb…" said Olimar. "No, the spotty bulbear, those are deadly!"
"Anyways, Olimar had Louie's recipes for cooking these beasts," said Peach, also helping Tom Nook cook.
Luigi grabbed a piece of paper that Tom Nook and Peach were using for cooking reference and read it out loud. "Hmmmm… 'For a blissful bisque mince the entire beast finely and stir in with heavy cream, artichoke hearts, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat slowly until piping hot. Mmmmm... Rich and creamy!' That actually sounds like some nice meat!"
"And Diddy Kong here is sharing his share of bananas for some reason," said Peach.
Diddy Kong glared at ROB.
"…IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF MINE THAT YOU BET YOUR BANANA HORDE IN SCORING MORE POINTS THAN ME IN SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 1 ON THE NES," said ROB.
"Hey, I wanted to see if I can challenge the perfect computer!" said Diddy.
Luigi, Nana, Marth, and Lucas just came into the dining cavern room, just waking up.
"Ahhh… What a nice nap," said Marth. "What's for breakfast?"
"Goomba Testicles," Bowser said, smirking.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Luigi screamed, running out of the cave. Lucas, Nana, and Marth fainted on the spot as well. Bowser and Ganondorf snickered.
"Bowser! We are most certainly not serving goomba testicles!" scolded Peach. "Just because you villains eat the testicles of your servants doesn't mean that we all appreciate it!"
Isaac put his forks down, holding his stomach. "I think I just lost my appetite…" he muttered, leaving. Metaknight soon followed him.
"For now," said Metaknight. "I just want to relax, but Bowser here had to ruin the meal for some of us."
"That was pretty nasty," said Ganondorf, smirking. Bowser snickered.
Isaac and Metaknight were now outside after 'eating' breakfast, just witnessing Luigi fainting on the spot.
"…Should we bring him back?" asked Isaac. "He really seems a bit like a coward."
"Leave him," said Metaknight. "It happens pretty often."
Lucario was also hovering beside them, not needing to eat. I do believe that we have a free day today.
"Great!" said Isaac. "A free day!"
"Hm… Now that we're out here, do you wanna duel?"
"I'm a bit tired of dueling the same pretty boy in there, a change in my opponent will be appreciated!" said Isaac, drawing his sword at the same time Metaknight drew his.
The Reward Challenge! What's going to be won?
The Red Team and the Green Team were standing beside the mansion that Hack slept in.
"Geez, Hack sure is taking his dear sweet time," said Sonic. "Well… you're too slow," he sighed, running in place.
"Wow, I wonder if Link can participate in this challenge?" asked Rundas. "I think you overdid it, Samus…"
"Thanks to Zelda's help here!" said Samus, holding her arm cannon up.
"See Yoshi?" said Mario. "I'm not as evil as Samus here. Be glad we're not on her team." Yoshi gulped in fear.
"Excuse me?" said Samus, pointing her arm cannon at the Green Team. "I think I heard someone whispering about me behind my back!"
"Ex-nay on the upid-stay…" whispered Yoshi.
KABOOM!
"Who you callin' stupid?"
"I think that was stolen from another movie," said Ness. "As far as my knowledge goes…"
"He must be creating a baseball stadium for us to compete in…" said Geno.
"…Did anyone actually show him the note?" asked Ness.
"Wario ate it because he said he was hungry," said Jigglypuff, pinning the blame on the fat plumber.
Falco yawned. "Geez… what a nightmare… I felt like I relived the Ring sequence…"
Pit, Toon Link, and Mr Game & Watch looked at each other nervously.
Falco looked down. "…why are my pants wet?"
Hack opened the door. "Welcome, everyone!" he said, opening his arms out wide. "Apologies for the delay… You are all here for the reward challenge! Well, the delay is due to the construction of a temporary bowling alley!" he said. "The reward? Like I said, the reward won't be known by you until after the challenge is completed!"
"Wait, you used passive voice!" said Ness, pointing an accusatory finger at Hack.
"Ness… Readers don't give a darn about passive and active voice," said Ash. "At my school, I really don't see why English teachers care so much about using active voice."
"ANYWAYS, the rules are very simple. Each team will play a full game of ten-pin bowling! The different is that instead of one person bowling each round, fifteen people will bowl for each team, meaning the Red Team will have to kick someone out! Each person will complete a full round of bowling, bowl two balls and earn his or her team points! By the end, the team that has more total points will win! You may use any method in your arsenal to bowl, as long as it is only used before the ball is within the lane! Also, bowling balls of many sizes are available for your use!"
"Simple enough," said Mario, pushing up his sleeves.
"Let's give it a go then," said Fox. "Who are we going to kick out?"
Popo was trying to pick up a bowling ball, but it fell on him, squishing him. "…Ow…"
"I guess Popo will be sitting out on this one," said Snake.
Oh dear… This isn't good news, said Mewtwo.
Inside the mansion, there were two lanes, one for each team. After deciding to sit out Popo, the Red Team stood at the left lane. The Green Team lined up before the right lane.
"All right, is your line ready?" asked Hack. The teams nodded. "Ready? Okay, bowl!"
Donkey Kong was up first for the Red Team, while Mario was bowling for his team. Donkey Kong held a bowling ball of twenty pounds, about a third of the width of the lane. Everyone gaped at him.
"Let's… GO!!" cried Donkey Kong, rolling the ball forward at full force. It sped along the lane at light speed, just about to hit the bowling pins.
"It's a strike, guaranteed!" said Roy. "Look at that power!"
"No, there's a spin on it!" groaned Link.
The ball spun a little to its right, only taking out the three right pins. While Donkey Kong was waiting for his heavy ball again, Mario drew his hand back and expertly rolled the ball forward. There was no spin on it, it just went straight down the center and made a strike, hitting all ten in one ball.
"Yeah Mario!" said Yoshi. "Show them who's boss!"
Mario smirked. "That's a strike. Don't need another ball."
Donkey Kong threw the ball forward with full force again, but it rolled through the same spot, only knocking down one more pin. "Awww…" he sighed.
"That's okay, we can catch up," said Doctor Mario, patting his back. "Just watch your shoulder bones, they can break if you use that much power."
"What's the score then?" asked Zelda.
"Saying the score each time will be tiresome, so I'll say the score after each five rounds," said Hack. "Donkey Kong hit four while Mario struck a strike! Next up are the Doctor and Yoshi!"
"Come on, Yoshi, don't waste Mario's strike!" said Geno.
"Says the one who thought we were doing baseball…" muttered Ness.
Like Mario, the doctor threw a clean, expert strike without any special abilities. The Red Team was cheering madly for him. Yoshi, on the other hand, grabbed his bowling ball with his tongue, put it inside his mouth, and spat it out.
"Nice! This means he can aim perfectly for the center without any spin!" said Ash.
Yoshi's ball also struck the center, giving another strike for the Green Team.
"Wow! Both the doctor and Yoshi hit strikes! Next up are Link and Wario!"
Link and Wario went up to their respective lanes. "Let's try some experimentation…" said Link. He grabbed a huge mace with an attached chain, swung it around his head counter-clockwise with his upper body strength, and threw it at the bowling ball he previously laid in front of him. It shot down the lane almost as fast as Donkey Kong's ball! However, since Link was spinning his ball & chain, the bowling ball had a slight spin on it, making it go slightly off course and taking out only the five balls on the left. The entire Red Team let out a disappointing 'Awwww…'
Wario, meanwhile, let his raw strength and sports ability take over and, like Mario and the doctor before him, struck the third strike. The Green Team went wild.
"Yeah! Look at that!" said Wario, flexing his arm muscles.
Link swung his ball and chain the other way, clockwise. He hit the ball with the same force, except it went spinning in the other direction! The ball ended up knocking down the three right pins, giving him eight points.
"Better than nothing, Link," said Zelda, hugging him.
"Yeah, it's not too late."
"Next up are… Zelda and Geno!" said Hack.
Zelda picked up a ten-pound ball with all her might. "Here goes nothing…" she said, rolling it with all her might. It went straight down the middle, but when it hit the front center pin, it went slightly to the left, knocking down seven pins.
"Nice, Zel!" said Link. "Better than me!"
"Geno… Flash!" Geno cried, transforming into a cannon and firing a huge energy ball at the bowling ball in front of him. There was a huge explosion as the ball went flying forward in the air.
CRASH!
…And the ball was flying so high, when it landed, it landed on the two back pins. Those pins knocked over the two other back pins, only scoring four points for that one ball.
"Awww…" groaned the Green team. Geno shrugged.
In the next ball, Zelda rolled the ball again, this time aiming slightly for the right. It struck the remaining three pins, earning her a spare! Geno fired bullets at the ball this time to push it forward, hitting the center of the pins and scoring another four points.
"Okay, next up to bowl are…" Hack was reading off of a list. "Samus and Toon Link!"
The two walked up before the lines to the lanes.
Samus held her left arm out, shooting her grappling beam, and grabbed the ball. She then swung it around like a lasso with the beam and finally released it after gaining much momentum, causing the ball to go shooting into the center of the pins.
BAM!
The ball landed so hard that the pins were sent flying everywhere, knocking all of them down! Strike for the Red Team!
Toon Link, on the other hand, did the same maneuver as Samus, except with his grappling hook. With a lighter ball, he threw it. The resulting explosion was not as violent, but it blew away eight of the pins, leaving the two corner pins alone.
"Nooo! A split!" cried Pit.
"Darn, I thought I could do what Sammy did…" said Toon Link. He rolled the ball again to hit one of the two corner pins, scoring a nine.
"Who's winning, Hack?" asked Sonic.
"Hmm, I can't say the scores yet since Samus just scored a strike, but the Green Team is leading by a bit. Still only a third of the way to go though! Next up are Rundas and Ness!"
"Hmmm, time for some cool improvisation…" said Rundas. He held the bowling ball in his hands, turned it into an ice ball, and threw it across. The ball hardly rolled across since it just slid down the lane. It was about to hit the very center pin…
"Yeah, Rundas!" cried Popo. "It's a strike!"
However, since the ball was so slippery, it simply slipped through the pins, pushing them out of the way and not knocking them off! Rundas left the ten pins still standing, except with a huge gap in the center!
"…Crap!"
Ness was panting. He did not know how to bowl. At all.
"So… you put your fingers here?" he asked Mario.
"Ah-yes! Then you pull your hand back like this… Then throw it forward with your strength!"
"Hm… Like this?"
Ness overdid it. His right arm shot up, throwing the bowling ball up into the ceiling. It crashed down onto the lane with a big BANG and slid into the gutter.
"Awww, gutter ball…" groaned Ash.
Rundas decided to roll the ball normally, hitting six of the pins and unable to overcome the deadly split he made in his first ball.
Ness was sweating. "I'll be the first one to get a Zero for this team…" he muttered.
"Don't worry, we're far ahead!" said Geno. "Just do your best!"
Ness nodded. He rubbed the ball with his right hand, then rubbed the floor. He closed his eyes, thinking.
"The coefficient of friction is this… So with this amount of force… If the pins have… This much momentum…"
Ten minutes passed.
"Hey! Ness! I know I said do your best but…" said Geno. "This is just too much…"
"Got it!" said Ness. He drew the ball back and rolled it forward. He aim it for the right gutter, but the ball spun perfectly to the left, hitting the center! "Yes!"
However, it left one pin standing on the right corner, giving Ness only nine pins.
"Score! Yeah Ness! I knew you could do it!" said Yoshi, patting the smiling psychic boy on the back.
The Red Team's jaws dropped.
Hack recorded the scores on his clipboard as he called out the next members. "Next up are Fox versus Falco!"
"Heh, you must be pretty happy that Wolf's gone, right?" asked Fox.
"Of course, I don't think anyone wanted him in the team," said Falco. "Yoshi's not that bad since Mario's got his eating habits under control."
"I think the Blue Team lost Kirby, so they're in luck," replied Fox, rolling his ball.
"Sure. Let's see if your aim can stand up with the ace pilot's though!" said Falco, also rolling his ball.
BAM! BAM!
Both space animals scored strikes at the same time. Their teams cheered.
"Tie again… Oh well, maybe next time," said Fox.
"So… next are… Krystal versus… Ike!"
Ike simply grabbed an eighteen pound ball, smirking, and bowled it with as much strength as Donkey Kong bowled his. He whistled as the sheer power from the bowl struck the first pin, plowing all of the pins out of the lane.
"As usual, nice power, Ike," said Sonic, giving him a high five.
"I can use this, right?" asked Krystal, holding up her staff.
"Of course," replied Hack, nodding.
Krystal inserted her staff into one of the holes on her ball. Using it as a lever, she plowed the ball forward, shooting it forward with almost as much force as Ike's. It too was a strike.
"Woo! Go Krystal!" said Fox.
"Yep, lots of strikes here," said Hack, recording the scores. "Next are Captain Falcon and Ash!"
Samus cocked her arm cannon. "If you don't make a strike…" she threatened.
"EEK! I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!" Falcon cried, shooting his bowling ball. It landed in the gutter at first, but it bounced out and struck all the pins of Ash's lane!
Everyone's jaws dropped, especially Ash's. Ash pointed a nervous finger at his lane. "Um… Hack…" he said. "…What's going to happen since he hit a strike on my lane?"
"…Well…" said Hack. "That's a free strike for you!"
"Are you serious? Really?"
Samus was glaring down at the racer. Captain Falcon shuddered.
"…Uh… NOOO, I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!" He cried, throwing his next ball automatically. The ball slammed into the front pin of his own lane, exploding. He too hit a strike.
"…Geez, too many strikes, makes the calculations harder…" sighed Hack. "Um… Next are Samurai Goroh and Pikachu!"
"You too, Goroh," said Samus pointing her arm cannon at him.
"Hey, I'm not going to make the same stupid mistake as my rival here," said Goroh, smirking. He sliced the ball in half and bowled the two halves one at a time. The first half plowed through the middle, leaving three pins behind on the left side. Goroh aimed accurately for the left side with the other half, giving him a spare.
"Hey…" said Wario. "Is that legal?"
"Well you can do whatever you want to the ball," said Hack. "So… Yeah, it is. Spare for the Red Team! But wouldn't you hit the pins easier with two full balls rather than two halves?"
Goroh shuddered. Samus pointed her arm cannon at him.
KABOOM!
Pikachu was rearing himself yards from the ball on the ground, directly in front of the lane. He charged himself with electricity, turning into a lightning ball, then cried, "Volt Tackle!" as he plowed into the ball.
BAM!
The ball shot forward, cackling with electricity. It was about as powerful as Donkey Kong's throw. However, Pikachu misaimed his volt tackle and hit the left side of his ball, causing it to gutter in the right side right before slamming into the bowling pins.
"Awww, gutter," said Pit.
"Volt Tackle? I guess it has lots of power but less stylistic control," said KK Slider, strumming a chord.
"Yep, that's true," said Mario, nodding in agreement.
Pikachu tried another volt tackle, but it also mishit and ended up guttering after tapping one pin's side, causing it to knock down two other pins lightly.
"Darn," said Pikachu, snapping his fingers.
"This is why you shouldn't eat so much ketchup, otherwise your new Volt Tackle would be right on spot," said Ash, petting Pikachu.
KK Slider looked at Mario with a stupefied look, and Mario pretended to tie his shoe… Which didn't have shoelaces. Go figure…
"Okay, so Goroh slammed a spare while Pikachu knocked down three pins. Next up are… Mewtwo and Jigglypuff! Two pokemon at it!"
Mewtwo floated up to his lane.
"Oh yeah, Mewtwo, you can't control the ball with your psychic powers while it's in the lane," said Hack. "NOR can you control the pins. NOR can you… Ah, you can't do anything with your psychic powers while the ball is in the lane! Got that?"
Fine… said Mewtwo. The ten pins were knocked down instantly. The ball technically is right before me, and not in the lane.
The smashers around him snickered.
"Ugh… That doesn't count! You can't knock down pins before you bowl!"
Fine… Mewtwo then raised the ball up high and shot it forward towards the center pin with pinpoint accuracy. It didn't even touch the lane, as the applied force was so powerful!
BAM!
One pin was remaining, unfortunately. Mewtwo immediately knocked it down with his psychic powers. Hack glared at Mewtwo.
…The ball wasn't in the lane and I bowled, so I didn't knock down the pins before I bowled. It's a strike.
"MEWTWO!! Stop cheating!" said Hack. "One more trick like that, and… and… Your team loses! Got that?"
Fine…
Mewtwo shot the ball forward again to knock down the last pin, giving him a spare.
"Heyyy, where's Jiggs?" asked Toon Link.
Jigglypuff's ball was on the floor, right before the lane. However, the puffball was nowhere to be seen!
KABOOM!
Jigglypuff instantly grew twice her size, puffing herself out with so much force that the bowling ball was sent plowing through the pins… Giving her a strike!
"Whoaaa, that was insane!" said Ike.
"Owww… My eye…" said Jigglypuff, covering her red, bloodshot eye. Apparently when she puffed herself out, her eye hit the bowling ball… Hard. She fainted on the spot.
"Ouch… Well… We have five left, and Red team is barely leading by twelve points! Come on, Roy! Pit!"
Roy drew his sword while Pit drew his bow. Roy charged his sword, crying out, "Flare Blade!" and created a huge explosion where the ball was. It slammed into the back corner pin with a ton of force… Knocking down only one pin. Roy also fainted on the spot from the rebound pain of the attack.
"Uh…" said Porky. "Even I can bowl more than that! Look at this!" he grabbed the bowling ball, but Hack stopped him.
"Nope! Wait your turn! Roy only got one pin, so… Let's wait for Pit."
Pit decided against using fancy techniques and settled for using pure accuracy and power to bowl the ball. The ball curved slightly to the right, knocking down four pins.
"Not bad, Pit! Get the rest in the next ball!" said Toon Link, giving a cartoony smile.
"Sure! After we're done, we can get back to the Ring!" said Pit as he bowled again, giving a spare.
"So Roy only got one pin and Pit got a spare! Next are Louie and KK Slider!"
"I have a feeling…" said Snake. "That we lost after that one pin… We've got to beat up Roy after this."
"I agree," both Samus and Zelda said in sync.
"You go first…" said Louie, holding his ball and struggling a little.
KK Slider shrugged. "Sure, why not?" Without any weird abilities like most of the cast, KK Slider simply held the ball in his right hand, rolling it forward and knocking out half of the pins. He bowled again, knocking out the rest and scoring a spare!
"Oh yeah! A spare!" said Falco. "Take that! Man… these pants are really uncomfortable… They smell too, and they're wet…" Pit and Toon Link were shifting their eyes innocently, away from Falco.
Louie was ready to bowl, and he kicked the ball forward. It was way off, about to gutter halfway down the lane, but it spun the other way, spinning towards the middle!
"Wow, nice spin Louie!" said Fox.
Mewtwo was closing his eyes. Ah, so you're hiding your guilt Louie?
"AHHH!!" Louie screamed, jumping ten feet in the air.
Do not worry, Louie, only you can hear me. In fact… Seeing everyone else react to the stolen food is rather… amusing.
The ball was about to gutter at the other side, but it spun again! It struck the center pin, giving a strike!
…And you've put pikmin in there to spin the ball for you too. Tiny little screams were barely audible, fading away as the ball disappeared in the back.
Apparently, Hack never noticed Louie putting in pikmin into his ball. "A strike! Nice!"
"We're nearing the end! Porky versus Mr. Game and Watch!"
"Ha! Watch my pro bowling skills!" said Porky, drawing his bowling hand back.
"Bloop…"
Porky threw the ball forward… It almost guttered, barely hitting the back corner pin. He blushed as his entire team glared at him again.
"Eh heh… Well, here comes my secret weapon!" He pulled out a cradling mechanical arm, grabbed the ball with it, and shot it forward. However, he misaimed and guttered, giving him only one point.
"…Wow… You better run for it, Porky…" warned Popo, pointing at the team behind him. Samus was readying her arm cannon, Zelda raised her hands, about to cast magic, Fox had his blaster out, Krystal had her staff, both Link and Roy drew their swords, Snake had a grenade launcher ready, and Rundas had an ice blade ready.
"Uh…" Porky said nervously.
KABOOM!!
"Bloop…" Mr. Game & Watch said nervously. He put the bowling ball in a bucket and tilted the bucket forward. The ball slipped out, rolling very slowly down the lane. It was completely centered, however.
"Hey, didn't you only hit one pin too?" Link asked Roy. "If so, why're you beating up Porky?"
"Huh?" replied Roy, but the gang beating up Porky also targeted him. Ouch…
"Got any fives?" Ash asked Pikachu.
"Nope, Go fish," said Pikachu, who had three fives in his hand.
"Darn…" said Ash. "Pit, it's your turn."
"Geez, that ball's going to take a while. Uh, you've got any fives Ash?"
"Darn it!" said Ash, giving his five up to Pit.
"Any fives, Toon?"
"Nope, go fish," said Toon Link. "Your turn, Pikachu."
"Hm… Pit, got any fives?" asked Pikachu.
"Shoot…" Pit gave his five up to Pikachu.
"Wait a second, you only have one five! So when you asked Ash for fives, you didn't have a five! You cheater!" said Pikachu.
"Pikachu! You had three fives when I asked you for a five! You're the one that's cheating!" said Ash.
Mr. Game & Watch's ball finally hit the pins. Because of its pinpoint accuracy, it also had a strike, despite its lack of power.
"Woo! So then Porky scored one pin while the 2-D guy got a strike!" said Hack. "For the final round, we have our two third-party guys! Snake and Sonic!"
Sonic was up at his lane, staring at the dust cloud ensuing in the other team's lane.
"Give me a sec…" said Snake as he released an explosion on Porky and Roy. "There we go… Now then, just like rolling a grenade forward…" Snake crouched on his knees as he slipped the bowling ball from his hands, allowing it to slowly hit the center pin… And give him a strike.
"Really nice there," said Sonic. "But you're too slow for me. Watch this!"
Sonic took several steps backwards. He suddenly appeared at the bowling ball, kicking it with the force from his running speed. The ball shot forward, knocking down all the pins.
"Yeah, Sonic!" said Pit.
"You go you speed demon!" said Yoshi.
Hack took out a calculator, calculating the final scores. "Hmm… Well, the Green Team wins by a long shot, almost by a hundred points!"
The entire Red Team glared at Porky and Roy.
"So… The game goes to the Green Team! Your reward… The Unbreakable Lock! It has a password that one person can set, and if he or she chooses, that smasher can keep it to him or herself!"
"WHAT? AN UNBREAKABLE LOCK??" Screamed the Red Team.
"I really could've done with something like that to protect the food…" muttered Snake.
"Sweet… But I don't think it'll be that useful…" said Mario. "We'll find uses for it."
The Red Team glared at Porky and Roy again.
KABOOM!
Blue Team
"Goomba… Testicles… Ew…" Luigi muttered, throwing up for the millionth time.
"Luigi, are you okay? You've been out here vomiting for… The past ten hours!" said Peach. "What Bowser said was just a joke! Goombas are also just mushroom heads, it's not like they can have testicles!"
"NO GOOMBA! GOOMBA BAD FOR LUIGI!!" Luigi cried hysterically.
"If you haven't noticed…" said Metaknight, who was trying to help Peach comfort Luigi, but not doing much. "Even ROB was disgusted by Bowser's joke. His robotic functions were malfunctioning from the disgust…"
"Goombas are stupid, don't pay any…" Peach started, but Luigi interrupted.
"NO GOOMBA! GOOMBA BAD FOR LUIGI!"
"Oh man…" Metaknight sighed, smacking himself.
Bowser was dancing along in the background, whistling the Bowser Dungeon theme from Super Mario 64.
"My next dungeon… Platform here… Make it a seesaw… Ha, Mario'll have trouble getting across those goombas I've planned there!" he muttered to himself.
Luigi's ears perked. "GOOMBA BAD FOR LUIGI! NO GOOMBAS!!" He screamed, jumping Bowser. Peach and Metaknight were looking at each other with confused looks, then shrugged.
"If we don't have the reward challenge today…" said Isaac, tapping his sword on the ground. "That means one of us can leave tomorrow for the solo challenge…"
"Well," said Marth. "Is there anyone you don't like too much here?"
"Bowser. Goombas are just disgusting, I can't imagine… Ugh," said Isaac. "I almost threw up."
"I see what you mean," said Marth, nodding. "Well he has his good sides, but there isn't anyone else I'd rather have leave."
Diddy Kong was listening in the shadows, smirking. "Hmmm… if they're going to vote for Bowser, my bids on him leaving the team next will be… Heh heh heh…"
Lucario was also meditating, muttering to himself. I sense an unreliable entity nearby…
