A/N: Okay, I here we go, folks! Part 2 of the beginning of the end. This chapter will tell you what's happening around the Nintendo Universe. You'll also see the main characters…well some of them.
Recap: Last time. Sonic was running through his universe scouting the area for any strange activities, but he must wasn't doing a really good job at it, because Shadow quickly came and ambushed the blue hedgehog. After turning Sonic into a Trophy, Shadow decided to visit Final Destination, he quickly found a R.O.B. standing in the middle of the arena. The R.O.B. told him to follow him. Shadow tried asking the R.O.B. questions, but it just ignored, and so Shadow blasted it. That when he saw Mastermind, the imprison angel…man thing. Anyway, after calling truces with him Shadow agreed to help gather Trophies for Mastermind. What will happen? Just read part two, please.
A/N: I might as well give you the heads-up, Shadow's not in this chapter.

Chapter 2: The Jungle's Beat Down
Skyworld's Underworld Prison
Trophies of Mario, Link, Peach, Donkey Kong, Zero Suit Samus, Ness, Luigi, and Meta Knight, could all be seen throughout the whole Nintendo Universe. "Aw…I can feel it. I can feel that more Trophies are beginning to fall." Mastermind said, while spreading his broad black colored wings.
Mastermind could sense the Trophies through his wings. "I can feel my collection growing. Marvelous." he then lifted up the Sonic Trophy. "And now I have a new addition to add the bunch." Mastermind then placed the Sonic Trophy inside a giant hamster cage. "I even added a hamster wheel, you like running around, right? Now you have all the space in the world." he then started laughing uncontrollably.
Mastermind then bald up his fist and stared intensely at it. "Those fools up in Skyworld can't even sense that I'm beginning to slowly regain my power, soon I'll be free and will be able to finish what I started." he then spun the hamster wheel the Sonic Trophy was inside. "Mwahahaha…And unlike Tabuu, I don't have to worry about some pesky blue rodent stopping me."
The Smash Universe, Jungle Area
"We must keep running, Ike! Do not falter behind." muttered Marth in a Japanese accent, running in front of Ike.
Marth and Ike ran through the forest, until Marth spotted a huge tree not too far from where they were at. "Ike, thisaway." Both Marth and Ike hid behind the huge tree. "We should be safe from danger for now." Marth muttered, while peeking from behind the tree.
"Errr! Dammit!" Ike seethed, slamming his heavy sword into the ground. "This doesn't make any sense! Why is he attacking us?! I thought we were all friends! I thought we were all on the same SIDE! Dammit! It doesn't make any sense."
Marth just stared at Ike, he then turned and stared down at the ground. "I know it might seem…strange, Ike, and I understand that you're angry and upset, but I don't think that the same person we met before…It seems that someone or something might be controlling him…"
Ike looked at Marth and huffed. "That's completely absurd, Marth! He's too strong-willed to be easily manipulated like that! I think he always had some kinda agenda, and now he's showing his true colors." Ike then folded his arms. "Humph. You're too naïve, Marth."
"No, Ike…You're wrong. I've had the privilege to fight along side him, and I'm telling ya, this isn't like him." Marthgriped. Suddenly Meta Knight came through the huge tree slicing it in halve. Both Marth and Ike quickly jumped outta the way.
Meta Knight's whole body was shrouded in a purple aura, but it wasn't visible to the naked eye. "Meta Knight!" both Ike and Marth said, while unsheathing their swords.
"You still think the same way of him, Marth?" Ike mumbled to Marth. But Marth remained quiet as he stared at Meta Knight.
Meta Knight looked at both Ike and Marth and shook his head in disgust. "I scoff at you two." he then opened up his batwing like cape and took to the air. "You two actually call yourselves swordsmen?!" Humph. You're cowards, that's what you are." he then pulled out his blade and pointed down at them. "I mean really?! Resorting into hiding. Where's your honor?"
"HONOR?! You come at us with honor?!" Ike shouted, angrily. "When you came from behind and tried ambushing us! I think you're the one with no honor, Meta Knight!"
"Humph. The only reason why I attacked you two without noticed back there was, I thought that you would actually tried fighting me back." Meta Knight retorted. "But instead you just fled from me with your tails between your legs like frighten puppies!"
Marth just stared at Meta Knight. "…Meta Knight…What happened to you?" he murmured, while still staring at an airborne Meta Knight.
But unlike Marth, Ike was seething with anger. "Why you?! Y-You traitorous son of a bitch!" Ike sneered, while gripping his unbelievably heavy sword. "After what all the three us did together, and this is how you repay us?!" Ike then leapt up in the air at Meta Knight. "I'll show you who's the coward, little man!"
"Ike! No! Don't you see? He's doing this just to test your patients. You're falling right into his trap!" Marth said, trying to stop Ike.
But Marth's plead fell on death's ear. "Shut up, Marth! I don't need to hear none of your pitiful lecturing! Unlike you, I'm not a coward!" Ike sneered, while lifting his huge sword. "I'll show you the true power of the, Great Aether!"
Marth just placed his hand on his forehead and sighed out of frustration. "Uhh…Why don't he ever listen to me? Eh! He's So thickheaded."
Meta Knight just stared menacingly at Ike through his mask, as he watched Ike approached him. "Humph. The young fool. I think I'll make an example out of him." he murmured.
Ike's blade was now cloaked in flames. "Eat this! You little Imp!" Ike then leapt above Meta Knight, he then started plummeting down with his sword lit ablaze. "Eruption!" But Meta Knight wrapped himself inside his cape and vanished. "Huh?" Ike muttered as he landed on the ground. "Wha? Where did he go?" Ike murmured, while frantically looking around. "ERR! The coward!" he then lifted his head and saw Meta Knight gracefully flying through the air. "Wha? Err! You insolent little cur! How dare you make a fool outta me?!"
"Ike! Stand down! You're never gonna win! You're too blinded by anger!" Marth shouted, getting annoyed by Ike.
But just like last time Ike ignored him. "SHUT UP! You stay outta this Marth! This is my fight!" Ike shouted, while leaping up in the air. "Aether!" he then swung his huge sword, but Meta Knight flew around him, he then struck Ike in his chest with his blade.
Meta Knight flew backward and started spinning around forming a small tornado, he then spun toward him trapping Ike inside the mini-tornado. "You fool. It was very unwise to challenge me single handy. Now you'll pay with your life!" Meta Knight then started moving back and forth around the area, while slashing Ike repeatedly inside his Mach Tornado attack, he then started spinning like a drill and slashed Ike upward.
Meta Knight took Ike high up in the air, he then quickly changed directions and started spinning in a downward position. "Err…Errr…Damn…I-I'm getting owned here…" Ike grunted, as they plummeted toward the ground. Ike was slammed into the ground.
"How did you like my Drill Rush, you fool?" chortled Meta Knight, tauntingly, while standing over Ike's lifeless body.
A huge dust cloud filled the area. "Ike…" murmured Marth, looking on at the debris that lied before him. "IKE?!" Marth yelled, running inside the smoke. "Ike? Ike?! Where are you?!" Marth then turned and saw Meta Knight standing over an injured Ike.
"Let me kindly take you out of your misery. Muhahahaha…" Meta Knight snickered, sinisterly. Meta Knight then opened up his cape up wide, it was cloaked in a darkish purple aura. "Humph. I don't really think you're worth this final attack, but I think it's fitting for a weaken like yourself to die this way." Meta Knight then started to cover Ike with his cape. "Galaxia Darkness. I'll see you in hell."
Meta Knight's cape was almost completely covered over Ike. "NOOOOO!!" Marth shrieked, as he came out of nowhere and pushed Ike outta the way.
Both Ike and Meta Knight was flabbergasted. "Ma-Marth? Wh-What are you doing?!" Ike muttered, as he weakly reached out to Marth.
"Ike. Go. You must go on, and run from here. He's already proved himself to be stronger than you." Marth said, as the cape completely covered him. "This is the least I can do for you. I'll see ya later, my friend."
"MARTH! NOOOO!" Suddenly a huge purple blur came down diagonally, slashing Marth while inside the cape. Ike could hear Marth screaming in agony while inside. "No…W-Why did you do that?!"
Meta Knight then opened up his cape, and stared at Marth. "Hmm…This wasn't what I was expecting, but I guess it will have to do." Meta Knight murmured, while walking over to a Trophy of Marth. "He only instructed me to bring him one Trophy." he then lifted up the Marth Trophy, while spreading his batwing like cape. "Humph. You truly are a weakling. Your friend gave his life away for your own survival, can't say I know why, though. I hope you're grateful." he then took the sky and flew off.
Ike quickly stood to his feet and ran behind Meta Knight. "NOOO!! Come back here! Bring Marth back!" But Meta Knight was flying too fast, there was no way Ike could catch him. "Ahhhh!! MARTH!" Ike shouted, loudly, as he struck a huge tree with his blade. "...Why...I didn't ask you to SAVE MEEEEE!!" Ike then fell to his knees and stared broodingly at the grass.
Meta Knight carried the Marth Trophy all the way to a short man who wore an expensive Rolex and a black Armani tuxedo, this man had his black hair slicked back and a pink rose behind his ear. "I've brought you back a Trophy, sir. Just like you instructed me to." Meta Knight muttered, while kneeling to the shady man.
"Excellent work, Meta Knight, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Eheheh…" The man looked strikingly like Mario in the face, instead of having a hat, he had a handkerchief with the letter M embroidered in. "Hmm…It seems that you've got me a swordsman this time?" the shady man muttered, while walking around the Marth Trophy with his fancy black dress shoe. "She's quite the looker too, if I might add." he said, while inappropriately feeling around on the trophy.
"Um…Sir, I don't mean to intrude on your…fun…But I think I should tell you…That's not a woman…It's a man." Meta Knight said, while still kneeling.
"WHAAAAA??" The shady guy yelped, while staring astonishingly at the Marth Trophy. "Why didn't you tell me that early, you buffoon?!" he muttered, while frantically wiping his hand with the handkerchief. "Deplorable. How could I…Ma-rio, been fooled so easily?"
"Mario, what do you require for me now?" Meta Knight muttered.
The shady looking Mario, or Nega-Mario for short, then said. "My name's not Mario, It's Ma-rio! It sound more sinister that way."
"But, sir, isn't that still the same thing?" Meta Knight muttered, while lifting his head.
"No, you fool! You've got to separate the Ma from the Rio!" Nega-Mario said, while casually putting his handkerchief away. "I'm gonna take this Trophy with me. You go and find more victims for me! I'm gonna just stay here and admire myself a little longer...Hehehe..."
Meta Knight saluted to Nega-Mario. "SIR!" Meta Knight spread his cape like wings and took the air.
Nega-Mario stared at the Marth Trophy and smirked, sinisterly. "Eheheh…I've got special plans for you, my girly looking friend." he then pulled out a Shade Mantel and placed it under Marth's original Trophy Mantel. Marth's Trophy was beginning to be covered in a purple aura. "Pretty soon, I'll be shrouded in greatness, when I finally obtain that power." Nega-Mario smirked, while fixing his black tie.
Meanwhile deeper in the forest.
Kirby was walking around the forest. "Poyuu?" Kirby muttered, as he spotted a watering hole in the distance. Kirby slowly walked over to the watering hole. "Puyooo…" Kirby squeaked, happily, while staring at the clear blue water.
"Puyoooo!!" Kirby then jumped inside the water and started drinking it. Suddenly a Trophy of The Ice Climbers came plunging inside the water, smacking Kirby on the head. "Eeehyoo…" grunted Kirby, while rising to the top of the lake.
Kirby walked back on shore, while holding the Ice Climbers Trophy. "Puyooo?" he muttered, staring at the trophy. Kirby then turned and noticed Donkey Kong, he was shrouded in the purple aura like Meta Knight.
Donkey Kong was standing at the edge of the lake, growling ferociously. "Poyoo?" Kirby murmured, while slightly tilting his head…or body.
Donkey Kong then leapt over the whole lake and smacked Kirby over the face with his huge fist. "Eeeeyaaahh!!" shrieked Kirby, as he was sent crashing into a tree. Donkey Kong then roared, while furiously beating his chest.
Kirby slowly walked out the broken tree, rubbing his forehead. "Puoo…Pooyo…" Kirby then lifted his head, and saw Donkey Kong standing over him. "Puyoo?" Donkey Kong then let out a huge ferocious roar and once again slammed his huge fist into Kirby's face. "EHAWHOAAA!!" shrieked Kirby, as he went crashing right back inside the broken tree.
A/N: Marth was turned into a Trophy protecting Ike from Meta Knight, who seems to be controlled by a shady man named, Nega-Mario. Who exactly is this Nega-Mario? And Is he behind Donkey Kong attacking Kirby?
