I guess G. King either didn't notice that Luigi was also a member of the Smashers he loves so much, or didn't think anyone would notice if the green plumber was killed.
Game2002: The Green King doesn't care if he is a Smasher or not; "evil" of all kind must be purged, according to him.


There is an important note at the end, so please don't miss it out.

Chapter 4
Influence


An intense fight was happening between Captain Falcon and Brawler. Both sides traded punches and kicks furiously, neither of them actually scoring hits.

The racer managed to catch Brawler's fist when the Mii attempted to punch him in the face, but then the latter jumped and spun vertically in response to make him spin along, causing him to hit the floor. When Brawler brought down his fist onto Captain Falcon, the latter crossed his arms in front of himself as an act of defense and then quickly leaped back on his feet before closing in on him to attack again.

Brawler attacked with a series of advancing roundhouse kicks that Captain Falcon was able to block, but each hit caused him to take a step back. When Brawler stopped, Captain Falcon used this opportunity to attack with his own, and Brawler was barely able to block it and was thus sent sliding back a bit of a distance.

Captain Falcon dashed at him afterwards and attacked with a fiery uppercut that knocked him into the air in a defensive stance. He jumped at the Mii afterwards with one fist pulled back, and the latter responded by dropping down with his fists folded together. Their fists came in contact with each other very hard, causing them to come to a stop in midair, and then they were repelled from each other and landed on their feet.

They stared at each other with serious expressions for a few seconds, and then Captain Falcon smiled as he lowered his fighting stance. "Good fighting! Master Hand made you a great fighter! You exceeded my expectations!"

"I am pleased to hear that I did not disappoint you with my fighting skills!" said Brawler with a smile. "Even I am surprised at my skills!"

"I look forward to seeing you in a real fight some time!" Captain Falcon said as they walked up to each other to shake hands.

"I look forward to that too!" said Brawler.

The two were sparring on a large mat in the yard, and nearby, Marth and Swordfighter had just finished their sparring as well. Captain Falcon and Marth walked up to each other, and the former asked the latter, "Did he give you a challenge?"

"He's incredibly skilled," replied Marth. "He almost forced me to go all-out!"

"These guys sure are tough! Better not underestimate them!" said the racer.


In the living room, the decision on where to go for vacation was still in progress.

"So… have we decided on where to go?" asked Parry.

"I'm starting to think-a Bioneez eez a good-a place," said Mario while looking at a travel magazine. "Apparently, they have a special discount for a tour on both Bioneez and Mechoneez!"

"This deal is ideal," said R.O.B. "I highly recommend this deal, as it allows us to get the best of both worlds."

"Sounds good to me as well!" agreed Pikachu happily.

"We'll talk-a with da othaz about-a theez first," said Mario.

"Enough of your sniping spamming!" Toon Link angrily said as he slam opened the door to Dark Pit's room.


Dark Pit turned to him in surprise and angrily said, "Didn't you see the sign at the door saying 'No Entry!?'"

"Who cares?! If there's one thing I hate the most about playing Call of Duty, that's people hiding themselves and sniping others in the head! That cowardly and dirty method takes no skill to win at all!"

"You just suck at the game! Sniping is the most effective method at winning!" Dark Pit told him.

The two argued nonstop about how Call of Duty should be played, and even though the other kids tried to stop them, they continued to do so.

"We'll have to get used to this from now on…" said Ness, watching the two shouting angrily at each other.

"I knew those two would get along really well since day one…" said Young Link sarcastically.

"Sorry…" whimpered Pit.

"If you mean you being responsible for your clone's existence, then don't," Ness told him. "Everyone makes mistakes, and what's done is done. At least they're not beating up each other yet…"


"This is not Caesar's Pizza Palace!" Bowser shouted into the phone. "If you don't want me to call over my good friend to give you a piece of his mind, then start calling the right number from now on! Be glad that we don't know who you are or where you live; otherwise, he would've gone over to poke your eyes out already!" Then he slammed down the phone.

While watching Bowser leave the living room, Parry said, "I just realized something…"

"Yeah?" asked Game & Watch.

"That phone sure can take a slamming!" replied the parrot.


"Phew… My arms are in great pain…" said Peach as she leaned against the wall after doing several push-ups.

"It's normal for people who usually don't exercise to feel a large amount of pain in their bodies after they do workouts," Miss Fit told her. "You'll feel lots of pain in your arms later today, and it will last for a few days before it wears out. After that, you won't feel pain again if you work out, assuming that you didn't stop doing them for too long."

"So that means I've become stronger?" asked Peach.

"It takes constant exercising to increase your strength, but that is a start," said the trainer. "Keep it up! No pain, no gain!"

"Too much pain isn't good, I think…" said Peach.

"That's true, but as long as it doesn't reach a dangerous level, it's good for your body," said Miss Fit. "Exercise is good, but adequate amount of rest is important too. Don't forget to go easy on yourself every once in a while! Speaking of rest, the studio is closing next Friday. My brother and I are going on vacation to Wuhu Island."

"I see," said Peach. "We're planning on going on vacation some time next week too! We haven't decided on where to go yet, though."

"You can come to the same place if you want to!" Miss Fit told her. "That's a great place for relaxation and also working out! The fitness club there is very famous!"

"Even during vacations, you still can't help but exercise, don't you?" asked Peach.

"You can say I was born to exercise! Heheh!" said the trainer with a laugh.


The phone rang, and Mario picked it up and was about to say this wasn't Caesar's Pizza Palace when Snake's voice on the other side told him right away that it's him.

"What-a eez eet?" asked Mario.

"You probably want to turn on the television and go to any news channel right now," replied Snake. "If you're lucky, you might spot what I'm doing right now."

"Okay…" said Mario in confusion, and then he ended the call before heading over to the remote control to turn on the television.

When he went over to the news channel, he saw the camera showing a scene depicting several people running around the streets of Fourside, destroying shop windows and making a mess out of the shops themselves from the inside. The different scenes that follow showed policemen trying to subdue the troublemakers, and Snake was seen in one scene beating up some of the latter.

"You are now looking at the scene of chaos happening at Fourside currently," said the news reporter. "A group of people of about twenty suddenly showed up and started attacking various stores. Some of them were heard shouting that they demand justice for being cheated of their money and also demanding to be made up for poor service in the past. The police are currently trying their best to subdue the mob."

Mario couldn't believe what he was looking at, and he was soon joined by a few other Smashers when they came into the living room and heard the noise coming from the television.

Their eyes were glued to the screen throughout the duration of the news broadcast, and when it finally ended, Donkey Kong asked, "Can someone explain to me what I saw just now? I didn't hear properly what the news reporter was saying…"


Snake came back to the mansion about thirty minutes later, and some of the Smashers immediately rushed over to see him. "Snake! You're back safe and sound!" said Fox. "We were worried for a moment!"

"I'm fine," replied Snake. "Those people were easy to deal with. They're just a bunch of angry mobs who thought violence was the best way to make up for poor treatment from certain shops in the past. I'm willing to bet that they were inspired by that Rath guy from America and the Green King."

"That's what we thought as well," said Fox. "Looks like what they did is really influencing people out there… How are things over at Fourside now?"

"The police managed to resolve things," said Snake. "The Green King wasn't among them, but he is believed to be the instigator."


"Hello? Cut Man? This is me, Dr. Light," an old man with a large, bushy beard said to his smartphone. "I'm calling to let you know that we have arrived safely in America. Is everything okay there? All right, that's good to hear! Take care while we're gone! We'll return some time after the conference is over! All right! Good-bye!" When he was done with the phone call, he turned to a boy and a girl that looked about twelve years old. "They're doing fine at home."

"That's good to hear!" said the girl—Roll. "It's the first time we left them by themselves at home, so I was worried that they would mess things up…"

"I thought you would be happier about this, because you may get the chance to do lots of cleaning when we get back home!" the boy—Rock—jokingly said to her.

"Just because I'm a housekeeping robot doesn't mean I take pleasure in seeing people making a mess out of things for me to clean afterwards!" Roll angrily said to him.

"That was just a joke! No need to get so mad!" Rock told her.

"All right, if you're done chatting with each other, help me find our luggage and then get going," said the old man—Dr. Light—while keeping his eye on all the luggage that were moving down the conveyor belt.

After a bit of waiting, they managed to find their luggage. When they were done finding all of them, they began to make their way through the airport to leave the place. As they were doing so, Dr. Light thought he heard chirpings coming from inside his luggage. Shrugging it off as himself hearing things, he continued on his way until Roll told him there were indeed chirpings coming from inside the luggage.

"Strange… What could be making this sound?" the scientist wondered as he put down the luggage to open it. To his surprise, a round, blue bird flew out. "Beat?!"

"Beat! What are you doing here?!" Rock asked the bird in surprise as the latter happily flew into his hands. "How did you get pass the luggage checking?!"

"He must've slipped inside while we weren't paying attention back home. As long as he stood still, the machine wouldn't notice anything peculiar inside the luggage while it is being checked," explained Dr. Light. "You really want to come with us, don't you?"

"It's not like it's a bad thing!" said Roll as she carried Beat in her hands. "Poor little guy, it must be very uncomfortable inside the luggage! Glad to be free and able to stretch your wings again, right?" The robotic bird chirped happily in response.

"Well, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, it's fine," said Dr. Light. "I'm sure hotels don't have anything against robotic pets."

Nearby, the back of a person with a flattop haircut was seen, and he was dragging along a wheeled suitcase. If one were to look inside that suitcase, he or she would find a red demonic mask…


TO BE CONTINUED

If you want to rant about Capcom's treatment towards Mega Man, DON'T!

I have absolutely enough of people ranting nonstop about this. Some people simply refuse to let things go and would rather continue to hate on someone forever, never forgiving them and constantly tormenting themselves with this hatred.

Sure, it's disappointing about all the cancelled games, but that's a long time ago already, so LET IT GO!

You think Capcom doesn't care about Mega Man anymore? Guess what, if they really don't care, they probably wouldn't let him be used in SSB4. Mega Man still makes cameo appearances in Capcom games from time to time. If Capcom truly doesn't care about him, they wouldn't have let him make all those cameo appearances.

Just because he doesn't have games recently doesn't mean they don't care about him anymore. They still know he is a marketable character and thus try to shove him into various stuff. That is still showing care.

Seriously, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT to hear a single ranting about this in your reviews, so please do me a favor and prove yourself to be level-headed people who are willing to forgive, let go of the past, and look towards the bright future for new MM games and not say he will never get new games ever.

PLEASE.

Just so you know, the words above aren't mine, but from someone who is level-headed enough to not hate on Capcom for the Mega Man stuff in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

On the side note, all the Mega Man characters in this series use their designs from the Mega Man Megamix manga series. Please keep that in mind.
