*___________Chapter_15_____________*
Toon Link whistled as he walked down the hallway. Apparently being in a creepy factory that obviously belonged to enemies had no affect on him. Just then, he heard a small whimpering noise. He looked down to see…
"A puppy!" He shrieked as he stooped down to pet the nintendog. Just as he did, its eyes suddenly turned red and it began growling viciously. Toon Link cautiously backed away as it began foaming at the mouth. It let out a loud bark that sent him running down in the opposite direction screaming "MONSTER!"

"Slippy, can you connect me to the Wolfen?" Fox asked.
"FOX!" Slippy yelled in his high-pitched voice, "You found your headset!"
"Huh?"
"Falco told me you lost your headset," Slippy explained, "That's not very responsible of you. You should really take better care of your things."
"Excuse me," Fox said, "I did not lose my headset. It was stolen when I was thrown in the dungeon inside of Princess Peach's castle."
"WOAH REALLY?!" Slippy squeaked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"My guess is that Falco didn't want you guys coming down here," Fox said, "Now would you please connect me to the Wolfen."
"Yeah, I'm already on it," Slippy said, "Where is Falco, anyway?"
"He's got his own team momentarily," Fox smirked, "I figured he'd earned it. Am I through?"
"Yep! Check your radar!" Slippy said.
"Thanks, Slippy," Fox said then disconnected.
"Um… Fox," Mario said, pointing to the radar. There were three red objects.
"Crap," Fox said.

Samus's gunship was speeding through the forest in the direction of Mushroom Kingdom. She just wanted to catch the damn wizard. All of this "team work" was taking too long. She'd get things done faster by herself anyway. Once the castle was in view, she landed her ship and decided to enter on foot. She'd have a better chance of not getting caught if she kept her gunship hidden. Suddenly, a yellow flash blew past her.
"Pikachu?" She called.
The little Pokémon crawled out of the forest. "Pika!"
"Where are the other two?" Samus asked.
"Chu!" Pikachu said, "Pikachu!"
"What happened?" Samus asked.
"Pika! Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"Well where are they?" Samus asked.
Pikachu pointed into the forest. "Chu!"
"Okay…" Samus said, and followed the Pokémon into the forest.

"TODAY YOU DIE!" Leon yelled, sending a cascade of lasers out of his ship.
"I hate that guy," Fox said, barrel rolling out of the way.
"You've-a got one behind you," Mario yelled, "Do a loop!"
"Thanks, Peppy," Fox said sarcastically, pulling a U-turn to avoid Panther. He flipped on his radio. "What are they doing here, Wolf?" He asked.
Wolf laughed. "Don't tell me you're not enjoying this," he said, "I thought you would have liked the company."
Fox turned off the radio and turned on his headset. "Falco, Falco come in."
Falco's voice came on the other end. Fox could tell he wasn't happy. "Fox McCloud, if I don't kill myself first, I am going to rip out your innards and make a piñata out of you."
"I'm not through with you, McCloud!" Panther shouted. Fox performed another barrel roll out of the way.
"Yeah yeah, I get it," Fox said, "We've got a little problem. You need to get your Arwing."
"Thank the lord," Falco said, "Why, what's up?"
Fox's Arwing was bombarded with more lasers, shaking the entire ship. "I don't have time for stories, Lombardi!" He yelled, "Pick up your Arwing and get over here!" He disconnected his headset. "How're you doing back there, Mario?"
Mario forced a small smile. "No-a problem here!" He squeaked.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Toon Link kept running without looking back. Unfortunately, he wasn't looking forward either, and ran into something. He looked up to see a robot with blue flashing eyes.
"Eep!" He screamed, "Don't hurt me!"
The robot's eyes blinked a few times. He extended a mechanical arm.
Toon Link looked at it quizzically, then took it. The robot helped him up. "You're a nice robot, huh?" He said.
The robot blinked his eyes again.
"Then you need a name!" Toon Link said excitedly, "How about… R.O.B.? It stands for Robotic Operating Buddy!"
Rob's eyes blinked happily and he picked the boy up and onto his head. The two of them proceeded to the exit. Luckily, Rob knew where it actually was.

"Way to go, Ivysaur! You can do it, Squirtle!" Red shouted.
"Kid, they're going to the bathroom," Falco said.
"Up the butt, Charizard!" (A/N: Quoted from Brawl Taunts. Go to youtube.)
Falco sighed and averted his attention to the rest of his obnoxious team.
"Falco," Captain Olimar said, "I really think we should get moving."
Falco grabbed the antenna on his helmet and lifted him up to eye-level. "We're moving as fast as you all can go!" He said, "Here's an idea: Take your little plants and your spaceship, and go back to wherever the hell your home planet is."
Mr. Game&Watch beeped.
Falco dropped the captain. "And as for you," he said, pointing at the little figure, "You are outdated and a pathetic excuse for a video game character."
"Falco, calm-a down," Luigi said.
"God damnit, where are the monkeys?" Falco asked, noticing their absence.
Yoshi emerged with a mouthful of fruit, followed by the Kongs. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong both had an armful of bananas.
"This is not time for food!" Captain Olimar said, "We really have to get moving!"
"Where are we going, team?" Red asked.
"Falco," Fox said through Falco's headset, "Falco come in."
"Fox McCloud," Falco said, "If I don't kill myself first, I am going to rip out your innards and make a piñata out of you."
"Yeah yeah, I get it," Fox said, "We've got a little problem. You need to get your Arwing."
"Thank the lord," Falco said, "Why, what's up?"
"I don't have time for stories, Lombardi!" Fox shouted. "Pick up your Arwing and get over here!" Then he hung up.
"What's-a going on?" Luigi asked.
Falco looked at them all for a moment. "Olimar's in charge," he said, "Don't get yourselves killed." Then he bolted in the direction of his ship.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Saki, Kirby, and the other two Pokémon were running through the forest towards what they thought was Mushroom Kingdom. None of them really had any idea which way that was.
"Can't you just admit that we're lost?" Lucario asked.
"We're not lost!" Saki said, "We can just follow that big penguin. He's obviously going in the same direction as us."
"He flew over hours ago," Lucario said, "How do you know he didn't take a turn somewhere along the way?"
"Well what do you suggest we do?" Saki shouted, "I'm sure you and your aura can come up with a better plan."
"As a matter of fact-"
"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff interjected.
"She's right," Lucario said, "We shouldn't argue. Isn't that why Pit left in the first place?"
Saki sighed. "Sorry."
"Let's just keep going," Lucario said, "I'm sure we'll get there eventually."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Meanwhile, Fox and Mario were just trying not to get shot down.
"Stop moving so I can shoot you!" Leon yelled.
"Falco where the hell are you?" Fox said into his headset.
"Calm down, Foxie," Falco responded, "I'm here."
Falco's ship came up behind Leon's and he started shooting. Leon pulled a loop behind him. "Well if it isn't McCloud's little sidekick," Leon said, "I'll take care of you myself."
"Not today, lizard boy," Falco said, "I have had just about enough of you." Falco pulled his ship around and shot at Leon. Leon's ship took the hits. Both wings were knocked off and his ship went down in flames.
"Oh my God!" Panther said, "You- You killed Leon!"
"Holy shit, Falco!" Fox said.
"YOU'LL DIE FOR THAT!" Wolf screamed, diving the Wolfen towards Falco. Falco barrel rolled out of the way.
"You would not believe how good that felt," Falco said, "I should've killed him years ago."
"Let's get out of here before they kill us too," Fox said.
"Since when don't you want to stick around for a fight?" Falco asked.
"Since Mario's still in my Arwing!" Fox said.
"Good point." The two of them turned their Arwings around and flew away from the crash site.
"They won't follow us," Fox said, "They'll go down to help Leon."
Falco scoffed. "Good luck."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Saki and her crew were still trying to figure out where they were. The four of them continued walking, until Kirby stopped suddenly and looked around.
"What is it?" Saki asked.
"Jigglypuff," Jigglypuff said.
"He hears something," Lucario explained.
Kirby looked up at them, then dashed into the woods. The three of them followed him.
"It would be nice if he would tell us where we were going," Saki said.
"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff said.
"Watch your language," Lucario said.
Kirby suddenly stopped. The rest of them skidded to a stop behind him. Kirby pointed at something. Saki looked in the direction he was motioning to.
"Pit?" She asked, seeing him standing a few feet away. She ran up to him. "Pit!" She yelled and threw her arms around his neck. "Oh my God, you're okay! What happened!"
Pit laughed and returned the hug. "It's good to see you, too!" He said, "We escaped."
"We?" Lucario asked, "Where exactly is Marth?"
"He's back here!" Pit said, "Come on! We know where the baddies are!" Pit ran into the forest.
The four of them ran after him. "Wait," Saki said. They stopped.
"We don't have time, Saki!" Pit said, "We know where the villains are!"
"I-I just wanted to apologize," Saki said, "I shouldn't have been so brash. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it," Pit said, "Let's go!"
Pit started running again, and the rest of them followed.
