Chapter 10: Double Trouble Takedown

Smash Kingdom, Kongo Jungle Zone, Area: Banana Fields

Plum just stared at Squeako. While Kirby stared at Squeaka, who head was stuck in the ground. "…Uhh." Plum gasped.

"…Dude, what's up with the silent treatment?" Squeako said, smirking up at Plum. "Ssshhhiiitttt! How about telling me what a SMOKING hot piece of cheese like you, doing in a broken up place like this?" he said, with his nose twitching.

Plum then suddenly shrieked. "EEEEEEKKKKK!! A MOUSE!!" she then tossed him down on the ground and ran behind Kirby. "T-That mouse just spoke to me…"

"UHHH…" Squeaka grunted, finally pulling her head outta the ground. "Oooh…My aching head…" she then turned and noticed Plum and Kirby looking down at her. "Oh, no…It really is Kirby. Oooh…This really could be a problem now…" she said to herself.

"Damn, you didn't have to go and throw down a playa! Shoot!" Squeako yelped, slowly picking himself off the ground. "These females nowadays! You can't even spit game RIGHT! Without getting physically hurt someway." he muttered. "You know what I mean, K-Dawg?" he said, turning to Kirby.

"Uhh…Y-You know Kirby?" Plum said, looking down at Kirby, she still had Pit's backpack on her back. "Do you know this mouse, Kirby?"

"Ermmmm…Poyo?" Kirby cooed, tilting his body, as he stared oddly at the little perverted mouse.

"Squeako! Be quiet!!" Squeaka yelped, jumping on top of her younger brother. "Hahahaha! I'm so sorry, you two!" she said, smiling nervously at Kirby and Plum. "Please forgive my little brother, he's…Um…a bit…Uhh…retarded?"

Kirby then turned to Plum, but she just shrugged. "Uhh…another talking mouse?" she said, as she watched Squeaka squish Squeako. "Well, I guess that's not really all that strange to me when I think about." she then folded her arms. "They're kinda cute when I look closely at them."

"Dude?! Who are you calling RETARDED?!" Squeako yelped, while flailing frantically underneath Squeaka.

"What do you think you're doing confronting Kirby like that?!" Squeaka muttered into Squeako's ear. "That was quite foolish of you! You just totally messed up our plan."

But, Squeako just stared annoyingly at her. "Whoa…Dude, you really need to chill out." he sighed.

"Chill out? You're telling me to…CHILL OUT?!" Squeaka screeched her face red from anger. "Master Daroach was set on turning Kirby into a Trophy!" she then started staring annoyingly at him. "What were you thinking? You already know how powerful Kirby is! How are we gonna get Kirby now?!"

"Dude, chill and take a deep breath." Squeako calmly said, placing his tail on Squeaka's forehead. Squeaka then sighed loudly. "Now, feeling better?"

"Yeah, I'm cool now." Squeaka sighed. Now, if you didn't mind, could you please remove your tail from my forehead?" she huffed.

"Sure thing, sis." Squeako chuckled, taking his tail off his sister. "Now, dude, take a look see at the pink dude!" he chuckled, pointing over to Kirby.

"Huh, what're you talking about?" Squeaka then turned and faced Kirby. "I don't see anything differ…" Her eyes then suddenly widen up. "T-This can't be…H-Have he already forgotten who we are?" she then started grinning, menacingly. "Hmm…Maybe, I could use this little opportune to our advantage…"

Plum just there stood staring the Squeaker Twin, as they continued their conversation. "Umm…Is there anything wrong over there, you two?" she asked.

"No, no. Everything's fine, I'm sorry that we even bothered you two." Squeaka said, while smiling. "I guess we should get going now." she then turned to her brother. "Come along, Squeako."

"But, dude, what about Kirr…" Squeaka then slapped Squeako in the face with her long, skinny tail. "Alright, alright! DANG! You don't have to be hitting on me and stuff." he grumbled, holding his face, as he followed behind Squeaka.

"Mmm…Now, that I think about it, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Plum giggled, turning to Kirby. "Maybe we should start back moving as well, Kirby!"

"Poyo." Kirby nodded.

"I really think we should try getting out of this jungle, it's beginning to ware down on my nerves a bit." Plum muttered, while looking around the dense jungle. "Uhh…Wait…W-Where are we anyways." Kirby just stared at Plum. "I-I think we're lost, Kirby!"

"POYO?!" Kirby yelped.

"Yeah…" Plum muttered, looking inside the backpack. "…And I don't this backpack gonna help us find our way outta here, nether." she sighed.

"…Poyo?" Kirby cooed, while staring at Plum.

"There's no map inside here…" Plum said turning to Kirby showing the bag. Kirby then started running around in circles, while screeching. "Kirby, calm down! I'm sure there's a rational way to solve this problem…"

"POYO!!" Kirby yelped out, sitting down on the ground.

Squeaka then started grinning, as she stared at Plum and Kirby from the corner of her eye. "Excellent. Just as I thought." she said to herself. "Umm…Excuse me." she said, walking over to Plum. "I'm so sorry to intrude, but I couldn't help but to overhear…" she then snickered. "Did you say that you're lost in this jungle?"

"Umm…Well." Plum then put her head down and sighed. "Uhh…Yes. It's true, we're hopelessly lost." she then lifted her head and started looking around. "Not only that, but I have NO idea how I even in up in this jungle."

"Poyo." Kirby chimed in, agreeing with Plum in his own little language.

"Oh, is that so, sweetheart?" Squeaka said, half-heartedly. "Hmm…That is quite the predicament you're in." she then smirked. "But…worry not, my dear, me and my brother know this forest from back through forth."

"Huh? W-We do?" Squeako muttered with a weird expression on his face. "Since when?" he then turned to Squeaka. "Dude, I coulda sworn that we were lost in here, as well."

Squeaka then pushed Squeako into a tree in the background. "Anyways, I like I was saying!" she said, clearing her throat. "Me and my…dimwitted brother know this forest from back and forth."

"Oh, really?!" Plum shrieked. "Could you two escort me and Kirby outta this jungle? Oh, please, oh, please?!"

"…Well." Squeaka said, looking away from Plum. "Alright." she smiled. "We'll have you two outta this jungle in no time, just follow us."

"Oh, thank you little mouse! Oh, thank you! I really appreciate your help." Plum said following behind The Squeaker Twins.

"Don't sweat it. I'm just glad to be helping somebody who was in need of assistance." Squeaka then turned around. "By the way, my name's Squeaka and that's my little brother, Squeako."

"I think we already met before, if I'm not mistaken." Squeako smirked, while winking at Plum. "Dude, the pleasure is…YOURS, babe!"

"Umm…Well, yeah…" Plum muttered, while clearing her throat. "Anyways, my name's Plum and that pink little fellow behind me is Kirby."

"It's very nice to meet the both of you." Squeaka nodded. "Now, let's get going, we have along way to go into we get into we make to the exit."

"Right." Plum nodded. "C'mon, Kirby, let's get outta here."

As Squeaker Twins lead Kirby and Plum through the jungle, Squeaka suddenly grinned all sinisterly. "The fools!" she said to herself. "They don't even have the slight notice that we're leading them straight to our leader, The Headmaster Squeak, Master Daroach!"

Squeaka then turned toward Squeako and nodded. "Roger that, good buddy." Squeako then stuck his tail up and started wigging it. "Oh, yeah, baby! Invisiwave!" The mouse then started releasing almost invisible waves that went all throughout the forest.

Meanwhile, deeper and farther inside the Banana Fields

Pit was still walking throughout the forest, looking around for the Meta Knight Trophy. "Uhh…This is getting me nowhere and FAST!" he suddenly yelled.

"I've been looking for Meta Knight for far too long now!" Pit then turned and started looking in the direction where he left Plum. "Maybe I should pullback, I'm pretty sure that little girl have woken up by now."

Pit then went to walk away, but he suddenly stopped. "Wait…If I do that, wouldn't it be like I gave up on my mission?" Pit murmured "ARGH! And, if I do that, Queen Palutena will chew me out." he then sat down on the ground. "I really don't want any of that…" he sighed.

As Pit sat on the ground, he suddenly felt something inside his robe. "Uhh…What the?" Pit then started digging inside his robe. "…Wait, what's this?" Pit was holding a tiny mirror like shield with red linings on the sides. "Uhh…A shield? But…How did I get?"

Pit then noticed some writing on the back of the shield. "Uhh…This is Melodi's handwriting." Pit then read what was on the back of the shield.

Dear Pit,

If you're reading this message, then you find the Mirror Shield. I stuck it into your inventory, before you left. I guess I should explain what the Mirror Shield does, right? Anyways, this shield has the power reflect incoming projectile attacks, it also has one more feature, but I'm thinking you should try figuring that out on your own. Eheheh.

PS: Oh, there's one more thing I want to tell you, now promise you won't laugh. Ahem…There's something I've been hiding from you since you saved me a few years back. PIT, I lo-

The letter seems to ends abruptly there.

"Umm…That's weird I wonder why the letter ended so soon. I really wanted to know what she was about to say." Pit then flipped the shield back over. "I still don't know how I didn't notice this shield before." he murmured, looking down at it. "Speaking of this shield, how am I suppose to shield or reflect projectiles with it? It's so small, I don't think it'll be any use to me."

Pit was still standing there, staring at the shield, when he suddenly heard something rusting inside the bushes. "Uhh…W-Who's there?" he said, standing up, while pulling out his crossbow.

But, to his surprise, nobody answered back. "There's no use in hiding yourself! I already know you're out there! Surrender now!" Pit yelped, pointing his bow over to the bushes.

Suddenly, all the bushes around Pit started rusting. "Uhh…W-What's going on here?" Pit then noticed something moving really fast, it was going from bush to bush, moving like a blur. "Now, that some speed. I need to keep my guard up." Pit murmured, reaching behind him. However, he didn't feel anything. "Wah? W-What happened to make backpack?"

Suddenly, Marth went leaping outta the bush with his blade gripped tightly in both hands. "Shield Breaker!" Marth echoed. Marth's sword was then cloaked in a purple shine as he swung it, ferocious, down toward Pit.

"Uh…It's that swordsman from the Smash Games!" Pit said, barely dodging Marth's attack.

Marth's blade crashed right into ground, creating a small crater, small rocks were also seen flying all around the area. "Whew…That was TOO close for comfort." he said, wiping the sweat of his forehead.

When Pit lifted himself off the ground, he immediately noticed that Marth's body was shrouded in the purple aura. "Uhh…H-He's been tainted by the Shade Mantel as well?" he said to himself.

"Humph, so you were able to elude my attack." Marth huffed, while flicking his dark blue hair as he also stood to his feet. "Not bad, but I'm afraid you're gonna need more than a good reflexes to defeat…Us."

"Us? W-What are you…" But, before Pit could finish his sentence, Popo quickly came from behind, kicking Pit in the back with his cleats. "UHHHH!!" he grunted, as he went crashing right into a tree. "Uhh…M-My back." he groaned, climbing outta the broken tree.

When Pit pulled himself completely outta the tree, he saw the Ice Climbers standing next to Marth; they were also BOTH shrouded in the purple aura and were smirking.

"…WHAT?! Them too?" Pit sighed, while rubbing his head. "…Okay, I'm pretty sure that the Shade Mantel is being used by somebody down here now…"

"We have been entrusted by our master to have you…'converted'." Marth said, as he motion the Ice Climbers to move back.

"Converted?" Pit muttered, staring at Marth.

"Yes, but think of it as a compliment." Marth said, while smirking. "Our master thought that you were actually worthy enough to be acknowledge by him." he then placed his sword back inside its sheathe. "To be honest, I would rather avoid a confrontation, so make this easy on both of us and just give up."

"…Master? Meta Knight also said something about having a Master. I wonder, is this the same Master from before?" Pit said to himself.

Marth just glared at Pit. "Humph. Well, that's something very strange for somebody tainted by the Shade Mantel to say, wouldn't you agree?" Pit said, while smirking. "But I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to decline your offer. You see, I have this strict policy of refusing to give up my own freewill."

But, Marth didn't think Pit's form of humor was hilarious and so he pulled out his blade. "That certainly was the foolish choice. I'm afraid we'll just have to force you with persuasion then."

"Oh, yeah!" Pit smirked, flying backward, while splitting his crossbow into two separated blades. "Bring it on! I was inching for a fight."

"…You fool." Marth murmured. "Now, let's Goooo!" Marth and The Ice Climbers then lunged toward Pit.

"Yeah, yeah…Bring it." Pit muttered, getting his fighter stance.

Marth then tried slashing Pit with his blade, but Pit started spinning his two blades around, canceling out Marth's attacks.

The Ice Climbers then ran on the other side approaching Pit's right side. Nana then jumped on top Popo's shoulders and he catapulted her off. Nana then went started spinning downward, while clenching onto her wooden hammer.

Pit looked up and saw Nana coming down. Nana then tried attacking with a downward hammer strike, but Pit quickly threw one of his blades up at her. "Gotcha!" he snickered.

Nana was immediately caught inside the spinning blade and was sent spiraling away from both combatants. Nana went crashing right into the ground, the blade had pinned Nana completely down into the ground.

"Eheheh. How do you like that? Not bad, eh?" Pit grunted, while smirking.

"Humph. I'm afraid you forgotten something extremely vital." Marth said, while smirking, still trying to break through Pit's defenses.

"What's that, funny man?" Pit grunted, giving Marth a cocky like smirk.

Marth's face then got serious as he said. "You conceited, little fool! There's two Ice Climbers. They fight together in duo."

"Wha?" Pit then looked up and saw Popo right above him. "Ack! I forgot about him." Popo then came down hard onto Pit's head with his hammer, which immediately broke his guard against Marth.

Popo then started performing his Squall Hammer attack, slamming his hammer into Pit's side repeatedly. Popo then jumped backward and hammered Pit toward Marth.

"My turn…" Marth yelped, quickly intercepting Pit. Marth then started hacking away on Pit with fast-paced strikes. "Now, Dancing Blade." Marth then started moving around Pit in an unorthodox manner.

"Uhh…What are you up to, now?" Pit moaned, barely holding himself up. Suddenly, Pit felt himself getting slashed in the side by something. "What the?" he yelped. But to his surprise, Marth was still moving around him. "…Huh?"

Suddenly, Pit found himself getting slashed repeatedly by blue, green and red lights. The lights seemed to be coming from every which away "What's going on?" he groaned, trying to shield himself. But no matter what Pit did, the lights still somehow find their way over to him.

"Now, let's finish this!" Marth then slashed Pit with a vertical strike, sending the angel hurtling upward. Marth then quickly ran toward a tree, catapulted himself off and went right toward Pit. "Dolphin Slash!"

As Pit came hurtling down, Marth pierced Pit in the back with the side of his sword. Pit went sliding off the blade and crashed down below inside a horde of trees.

"Damn, I almost performed it perfectly." Marth muttered, landing on the ground. The Ice Climbers then came walking over to Marth, Nana was holding Pit's second blade in her hands. "Come, let's find the angel. Our Master must not be letdown."

The Ice Climbers and Marth then went walking deeper inside the forest, as they started their search for Pit.
