Chapter 6: Return of The Squeak Squad
Smash Kingdom, Kongo Jungle Zone
Shadow had finally landed and was now looking around the fame Kongo Jungle. "Hm…How in the hell did I end up in a jungle, when I jumped off a cliff?" he groaned, while walking around. "This world is so stupid…"
The Squeak Squad and Donkey Kong had finally caught up with Shadow, and was now peeking at him from behind a tree. "Hm. That must be the guy we saw freefalling, guys." Daroach said, while whispering to the Storo and Spinni.
"Yeah, he don't look all that tough." Spinni said, while folding his arms.
"What we do, Boss?" Storo asked, while bending down at him.
"Hm. I know exactly what to do." Daroach smirked. "Just follow my lead boys. C'mon. Let's go, Ape Escape." Donkey Kong then lifted up Daroach and leapt up a tree, Storo and Spinni followed closely behind.
As Donkey Kong and the Squeak Squad got closer to Shadow, Daroach couldn't help but to stare at Shadow. "Hm. He looks kinda familiar." he muttered, under his breath.
Shadow was still walking around the huge jungle. "Hm. Dammit! I haven't found anybody yet. This is getting boring." Shadow sighed. "Hm…" he muttered, as he suddenly stopped walking. "Somebody's here, trying to sneak up on me." Shadow murmured, as his eyes shifted from back to forth.
Suddenly Storo and Spinni came leaping outta the trees and was heading right for Shadow. "We crush you, hard!" Storo yelled, as he swung his huge fist down at Shadow.
"Err…I knew somebody was trying to sneak up on me." Shadow seethed, while using Chaos Control to teleport around Storo's attack. "Humph. You big oaf." Shadow huffed, while reappearing.
"Nobody can match me, when it comes to speed!" Spinni snickered, while moving toward Shadow like a yellow blur. "Take this!" he then tried ramming into Shadow from behind, but Shadow quickly turned around and caught him with his hands. "Wha…What? How did you catch me??" stammered Spinni.
"Isn't it obvious?" Shadow smirked, much to Spinni's chagrin. "You're just too slow…You foolish little mouse." Shadow's hands then started to glow with a dim yellow color.
"WHAT?!" Spinni snarled.
"Chaos Blast!" Shadow huffed, as he blasted Spinni with a stream of yellow Chaos Energy.
Spinni was engulfed into the yellow energy "UHAAAAAA!!" Spinni shrieked, as he sent flying and crashed into the ground.
"Hey! You forget me!" Storo bellowed, while jumping over to Shadow and then slamming his huge fist into his face.
"UHAHHHH!!" grunted Shadow, as he was sent soaring and crashing into the a huge tree. "Dammit…I forgot all about that bumbling idiot." Shadow then noticed Storo jumping back over toward him. "Fat moron." he muttered, while forming a Chaos Energy in the palm of his hand.
"Me squish you…now!" Storo said, while putting his two huge fist together, as he got ready to deliver a double exe-hammer slam into Shadow's head.
Shadow stared at Storo and sneered. "You idiot! Uhaaaaaa." Shadow then snapped his finger and Storo was struck by yellow electricity that came from above him. "How do you like my Chaos Snap?"
Storo was sent staggering backward. "Colors…Me see pretty colors…Me like pretty colors." moaned Storo, as he dazedly moved about.
Shadow ran toward Storo, smirking. "I bet you do." he then jumped up in the air and was just about to come down on Storo with a flying kick, but then suddenly a huge block of cheese came plunge down toward him. "What…I-Is that…Cheese?…" Shadow muttered, while flipping backward.
Shadow then looked up and saw Daroach standing up on a boulder. "Another mouse…" he mumbled under his breath. "And who are you? Did you come to get your ass kicked just like them?" Shadow smirked, while folding his arms.
Daroach eyes were closed, while smirking back at Shadow. "I'm the Headmaster Squeak of The Squeak Squad. I am Daroach." he said, casually fixing his red hat.
"Headmaster Squeak? Squeak Squad?" Shadow said, while scratching his head. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you telling me that you're the boss of these two idiots?" he sighed, while pointing down at Spinni and Storo.
"Precisely." Daroach said, while pulling out his wand. "Now. For your final test. You must defeat me, Headmaster Squeak, Daroach, in combat." he then pointed his wand down at Shadow. "You're ready?"
"What…?" asked an extremely confused Shadow. "This was a test?"
"Fondue!" Daroach yelled, as he fired extremely hot cheese from his wand.
"…Is that cheese? A-Are you serious?" Shadow then curled up in a ball and leapt up at Daroach. "You must be stupid, if you think hot cheese is really gonna stop me!"
Daroach watched as Shadow easily spun through the hot cheese. "Excellent." he murmured under his breath.
Shadow had finally made it up to Daroach and was just about slam into him, but the blue little mouse leapt up high, dodging Shadow's attack. "Not bad, little mouse, but I have yet to begin to fight." he then turned around and started spinning toward Daroach with increased speed. "Homing Attack!" he shouted, while leaping up.
Daroach landed back on the boulder. "Hmph." he then noticed Shadow spinning directly toward him. "I don't think so. Gouda!" Daroach shouted, as he fired a hunk of hard cheese from his wand at Shadow. Shadow buzz-sawed through the cheese and rammed right into Daroach.
Shadow had a yellow streak following behind him as he performed Homing Attack, perfectly. "Perfect as always." Shadow boasted, while landing on the ground.
Daroach was knocked completely off the boulder and was beginning to fall to the bottom, but suddenly Donkey Kong came swinging from a tree and caught him. "Good catch, Ape Escape, now let's get back to the others."
Shadow watched as Donkey Kong and Daroach swung all the way back to him. "Oh, so you're sending your monkey at me now? Do you honestly think your gorilla can handle the power of, Chaos Control?" Shadow seethed, while forming a yellow energy ball in his hand. "I've got a Chaos Sphere with both of your names on it."
Daroach just smiled. "Oh, you do not need to worry anymore, my friend. You've passed the test. You prove that you're indeed a powerful warrior. As a fellow rodent, how about joining the Squeak Squad? You could be my second in command." Daroach smirked, you could see Storo and Spinni slowly walked over to them.
Shadow huffed, while folding his arms. "No thanks. You see, I have this polity that declines me to be any subordinate to somebody I'm obvious stronger than."
"What?! C'mon! You'll make an awesome addiction to the Squeak Squad!" Shadow just walked away. "Erm." Daroach just stared at Shadow, as he continued to walk away. "Wait! I know where I saw you! You're Shadow! You're the one who's been giving out these purple plates." he then pulled out his Shade Mantel.
"Yeah…I guess…" Shadow muttered, while staring at Daroach. "Has word about me already gotten out or is this the work of Mastermind? I shouldn't worry about it now." he thought to himself. "Yeah, that's right. Now if you'll excuse me." Shadow then started away, but Daroach quickly ran in front of him. "What?"
"Listen, me and my boys are bored and we don't have anything to do right now, so how about letting us in on whatever you're doing?" said Daroach. "I'm pretty sure the boys agree with me, right guys?"
"Yeah…Yeah…" Spinni murmured, while gawking. "Jackass…" he quietly muttered.
"Yeah, yeah! Me want help doggy!" Storo said, while stupidity jumping about.
"Yeah, just give us a chance. As a fellow vermin, you should really consider it. We're thieves, so we could really make your worth while." Daroach said, while smirking.
"I don't know…There is something I'm looking for in this jungle. You see I'm looking for Trophies, and I just happen to lost a couple of Trophies that went plummeting down from up that cliff up there." Shadow said, rubbing his chin. "Wait, did you just call me a vermin?"
"Is that it? Listen, I've already got three more Squeak Squad members out there searching high and low, their names are Doc and Squeakers, Squeakers are twins mice. The one named Doc is searching on a Distance Planet far away here, and The Squeakers twins are searching somewhere in this jungle. I could get them to look for those Trophies for you."
"Alright then. If you can bring me a Trophy or the Trophies I was already looking for, then I'll let you three…mice…join me." Shadow huffed. "Oh…Yeah…I've got one more question for you. Why do you use cheese for a weapon?"
"Cheese is the most powerful weapon in the Squeak World, there's nothing cheese can't do! Cheese is treated like a deity." Daroach proudly said, as a tear slowly fell from his cheek. You could see Spinni and Storo nodding in the background. "What do you with cheese in your world?"
"Well…U-Uh…W-We usually eat the cheese…" Shadow awkwardly, stammered.
"YOU EAT THE CHEESE??" All three of the Squeaks said in unison.
Pit was still pursuing behind Meta Knight all though the jungle. "Uh…Dang, Meta Knight's flying so fast. I don't think I'll be able to catch with speed alone." he then pulled out his sacred arrow and took aim. "Sorry about this, Meta Knight, but I have to stop you right now, before you seriously hurt somebody." Pit then fired the sacred arrow at an unexpected Meta Knight.
Meta Knight was still flying ahead of Pit, when he quickly noticed a blue bright light moving toward him at an extremely fast pace. "Huh?" he muttered, turning around to see the sacred arrow swiftly coming toward him. "Eeyayayayaya!" Meta Knight grunted, while swinging his blade around quickly, deflecting the arrow. Meta Knight then turned and started looking around. "Hm. How dishonorable."
Pit had quickly hid himself inside a horde of trees. "Dang it! I missed." Pit muttered to himself, while peeking behind a tree. "Well…I should of known it wouldn't worked that easily, I am dealing with Meta Knight here." he chuckled, with his arms cross, while levitating.
Meta Knight was still looking around in the air. "Humph. The little whelp." he muttered to himself. "You actually thought by ambushing me, you could succeed in defeating me?" Meta Knight said, while pulling out his tiny blade. "But, look on the brightside. Whoever tried ambushing me, saved me all the trouble for looking for a new person to serve my master."
"Huh? Master?" Pit said, while turning away from Meta Knight. "So that means somebody must be controlling Meta Knight, but who?" he then turned back to Meta Knight. "I don't think it really matters right now." he then pulled out his bow and aimed the sacred arrow at Meta Knight, again. "I need to purified him ASAP." Pit then fired the sacred arrow up at Meta Knight, again.
Meta Knight turned around and saw that the arrow was coming up toward him. "Child's play." Meta Knight boasted, while easily deflecting away the arrow. "Hm. It seems that arrows came from those trees down there." he muttered, while slightly looking over to the trees.
"It didn't work, again, and now I fear that he now knows my position." Pit muttered, while running away from the trees. "I've got to end this, NOW!" Pit then placed three sacred arrows in his bow. "Triple Arrow!" he then fired the three arrows from his bow, the arrows went hurtling up toward Meta Knight.
Meta Knight was now slowly descending to ground, when he noticed more arrows coming up at him. "What, more arrows?" Meta Knight then started moving his blade around quickly, deflecting the arrows. "Easy." he huffed, watching as the arrows went off in different directions.
Suddenly Pit came bursting out from the tree, he was holding his bowing arrow and aiming it right in front of Meta Knight. "Oh, really, huh?" Pit smirked.
"I-I was outsmarted?" Meta Knight stammered, while staring at Pit. "The other arrows were just a diversion."
"Yep. It seems like it, bud, and you feel right for it." Pit then fired the sacred arrow at point blank range. The light blue arrow went piecing right through Meta Knight's armor. "Sorry about that, Meta Knight."
"UHHHHHAAAAHHHHHH!!" moaned Meta Knight in pain, as he was sent hurtling far away from Pit.
Meta Knight had went shooting off so far, that Pit couldn't find any sight of him anymore. "Oh no! I think I overdid it a bit." Pit said, while frantically looking around. "Great…Just great…Now I've got go and look for him." he then turned over where Plum was lying. "I'll try to get back at you, just wait until I find Meta Knight." he then went flying off in the same direction where Meta Knight got Star KO'd.
Ike was still lying in the grass, when he noticed something strange far way from him, it was plummeting toward the woods. "Hm…What was that? Arr…It not like I really care…The only thing I'm worry about is finding Marth…" he grumbled, while turning back around. A Meta Knight Trophy plunged down and crashed deep inside the woods.
As Pit flew off in Meta Knight's direction, Nega-Mario was in the shadows watching him and smirked, sinisterly. "Hm. It seems that his arrow has the power to revert a person back into their previous self. Interesting." he then turned toward the Ice Climbers and Marth. "Come alone, my followers, we have an angel to seize control of. Muhahahaha…" he then slowly walked behind Pit.
Marth and Ice Climbers bowed. "Yes, of course, master." Marth muttered, while him and the Ice Climbers followed behind Nega-Mario.
Plum was now beginning to regain consciousness. "Uhh…I-I feel so weird…Wh-What happened?" Plum's stomach then started rumbling. "Oooh…I'm so hungry." she then looked down and saw the fruits that Pit laid down. "Hey, cool! Wait this has got to be somebody's else food, right?"
"Hello! Does this food belong to somebody?" Plum shouted, while looking all around the jungle. "I guess it doesn't." she then turned back to the food and smirked. "Heheheh...I'm about to chow down, now!"
As Plum began to chow down, she suddenly heard moaning from not too far where she was at. "Huh, what was that?" she said, while nervously standing to her feet. She then heard the moaning once again. "Oh…There it goes again." Plum then picked up the food and followed the moaning.
The moaning took Plum all the way to a huge tree, she saw Kirby lying up again the tree. "Huh…Oh no, he looks hurt." Plum then ran up to Kirby, his body was all green from sickness. "Oh, you poor little thing, you look positively horrible." she said, while rubbing Kirby's stomach.
