Chapter 11: …With Three, Makes Ike

Damn, this chapter has been fixed!

Smash Kingdom: Kongo Jungle Zone, Area: Banana Fields

Marth and The Ice Climbers had finally made into the horde of trees where Pit fell into. "Hmm…That angel must be somewhere around here." Marth muttered, looking around.

Marth then turned and saw The Ice Climbers; they were searching over by some bushes. "So, Nono, Papa, have you had any luck of finding our missing angel?"

Nana and Popo looked at each other and then turned toward Marth with an angry expression on their faces. "Nana! Popo!" the both shouted in unison.

"Humph. Getting your names right, holds only little significance to me." Marth huffed turning away from them. "You shouldn't let things so trivial distract you. Have you already forgotten our main objective?" The Ice Climbers both sighed as Marth started his long and boring lecture.

Meanwhile, Pit was hiding behind some trees, the trees provided him with a moderate amount of camouflage. "Uhh…This is good." he chuckled. "Those two won't find me, if I'm hiding here. I just need some time to catch my breath, that swordsman really gave me a beaten out there."

Pit then pulled out the quiver where he stored his sacred arrows. "…Just five arrows, eh?" he sighed. "Well, they just have to do, until return to get more from Skyworld." he then noticed the Mirror Shield lying down next to him. "Hey, when did that shield get outta my robe?"

Pit then slowly walked over to the red shield. "Well, I might as well put it back then." he sighed, to lifting it up. That's when Pit noticed the reflection of a tree house shaped like a workshop in the middle of the it. "Huh…W-What the…" Pit then turned around. However, the only thing he saw was a bunch of trees. "I don't get it. There's nothing but trees back there. How did the reflection of a tree house get on the shield?"

When Pit looked down into the shield, he saw something different this time. "…Uh…I-It's…It's the swordsman and those twins." Just like Pit said, the image of Marth and The Ice Climbers were seen on the shield, they were heading right in his direction, too.

"…Astounding! So, this shield...it has the power to show the reflection of things from far distances!" Pit then chuckled. "Hehehe. So, that was the extra feature Melodi was hiding from me. Maybe, this shield could be useful to me, after all." he then gripped his shield. "But first thing's first, I need to get my second blade back." he then started making his way toward Marth and the Ice Climbers.

Meanwhile, Marth and The Ice Climbers were still walking. Marth then suddenly heard something rustling nearby. "…Hmm. It seems that somebody's watching us. I know that angel isn't dumb enough to try and ambush us." Marth said to himself. "Nono! Papa! Keep your guard up." her muttered.

"NANA! POPO!" Both Ice Climbers shouted in unison.

Suddenly, Pit came leaping out from behind some trees, holding only one of his blades. "Round 2! Let's do this thing!!" he shouted, looking at Marth.

"Humph. An attack from the rear? How quaint!" Marth smirked, gripping his sword tightly. However, he quickly noticed that Pit wasn't aiming for him, but for the Ice Climbers. "Nono! Papa! He's coming for you two!"

The Ice Climbers also noticed Pit coming toward them and were just about counter, but got distracted when they heard Marth mispronounce their names again. "NANA!! POPO!!" They shouted in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"You fools! Look out!" Marth shouted.

The Ice Climbers then turned toward Pit, but before they could get a chance to do anything, Pit quickly made it over to Nana. "I'll take my blade back, thank you!" he chuckled, slashing her with his blade, knocking the second blade outta her hand.

Pit quickly put his two blades together, forming his crossbow. "I think it's about time we even the score, don't you think?" Pit then fired off his arrow, piercing both Ice Climbers.

"WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" The Ice Climbers cried in unison, as they went hurtling far away, completely outta vision. (Star KO)

"I guess it's just me and you now." Pit smirked, separating his crossbow into two blades once again.

"Humph. I wouldn't have it any other way." Marth smirked, pulling out his blade.

Meanwhile, farther away from Pit, Marth, and The Ice Climbers

Plum, Kirby and the Squeaker Twins were still making there way through the jungle. Plum and Squeako were walking in front, while Kirby and Squeaka were slowly following behind.

"Now, this is the way to travel, right babe? Squeako chuckled, while wrapped around inside Plum's arms.

"Huh? Um…I guess so." Plum muttered.

"What's wrong, babe?" Squeako said, looking up at her. Plum just shook her head. "I'm not stupid, I know something's wrong." he then started snickering. "And I know what just to do!"

Squeako then started wiggling around all inside Plum's arms. "Hehehe! Stop! Stop it! Hehehe! You're gonna make me drop you…" Plum chuckled, while staggering back and forth

"Eheheh. You know you like that, baby." Squeako then turned and looked up at Plum. "You know, I could really rock you world, if you know what I mean?"

"Uhh…I seriously doubt that…" Plum sighed, while looking down at the amorous mouse.

"…So, you're betting I can't?" Squeako said, slowly moving toward her chest.

"…Yeah. That's right." Plum smirked.

"Oh, then watch this!!" Squeako then jumped inside Plum's shirt and started wiggling around inside.

"Hehehe…Eheheh…HAHAHAHAH!!" Plum cried, as she started laughing uncontrollably. "…Stop it…Stop it!! Eheheh…Cut it out! You won, you won!!"

"Dude, what do I look like stopping? I'm in heaven…inside here."Squeako cooed, while still moving around inside Plum's shirt.

Squeaka just stood there, shaking her head as she watched Plum fall to the ground, still laughing. "…How pathetic." Squeaka then turned and saw Kirby standing behind her. "…Huh, what do you want?"

"Poyo…" Kirby cooed, while pointing at Squeaka and then at his head. Kirby then bent down in front of her.

"Uhh…I don't get it. What are you…" Squeaka then looked closely at him. "Wait…Uhh…You want to give me a piggyback ride?"

"Poyo." Kirby said, while nodding.

"Oh, how sweet, but no thanks. Uh…I rather walk, thank you!" Squeaka then tried moving away from Kirby, but he just stepped in front of him, blocking her way. "Uhh…Well, I never." she yelped, falling in front of him.

"POYO!" Kirby yelled, reaching out toward Squeaka.

"Uhh…You beast! Get away from me!" Squeaka screamed, slapping Kirby's nub outta the way."No means…NO! Now, please. Step aside…IF YOU WILL!"

Squeaka then tried moving around Kirby, but he just picked her up off the ground. "How dare you?! Leggo! LEGGO OF ME!" she yelped, while flailing around.

Squeaka was screaming so loud, that it caught Squeako and Plum's attention. "What's up with all the screaming and stuff?" Squeako smirked.

"This little beast won't take 'NO' for an answer!" Squeaka yelped, as she ran away from Kirby. "I told him that I didn't want a piggyback, but he keeps being persistent with me!"

Plum just stood there watching as Kirby and Squeaka ran around in circles. "But, Squeaka. That's just Kirby's way of being affectionate with you."

"Yeah, Sis." Squeako chimed in, while chuckling. "That's the pink little blob's way of saying: I really, really, really, really…" Squeaka then glared at him. "…Uhh…The pink dude like's ya!"

Kirby then lunged at Squeaka. "Uh…That's sweet and all, but could you tell him…" she then yelled, while running over to Plum and Squeako. "…I'm really NOT interested!"

"Uhh…C'mon, Kirby. Squeaka don't want to play, so leave her alone, okay?" Plum sighed, calling Kirby to come over to her.

"Oh, thank you…" Squeaka said with a huge smile on her face. "…Oh, can I speak to my brother right quick. It's REALLY urgent."

"Uh…Sure." Plum said, while shrugging.

Squeaka then pulled Squeako by the tail and hauled him away. "So, Squeako? Have your invisiwaves reached Master Daroach yet?" she muttered to him.

"Huh? The Invisiwave? Yeah, I guess it so..." Squeako muttered back. "We just have to wait. I'm pretty sure that they'll be meeting up with us any minute now.

"Excellent." Squeaka said to herself, while chortling. "Pretty soon, both Kirby and that snot nose little brat will be Trophies and we will be closer to our goal!"

"Which is…?" Squeako asked.

"Shut up!" Squeaka shrieked, while slapping Squeako with her tail. "Must you ruin everything?"

Plum was staring at the two mice, when she suddenly noticed something shiny in the distance. "Uhh…What that?" Plum muttered walking closer to shine, which was by some trees. "Uh…It's a…sword?" Just like Plum said, there, protruding outta a tree, a huge sword was seen gleaming brightly. "Hey, guys? You gotta check this out!" she shouted

"Uhh…What's wrong?" Squeaka muttered. Squeako and Kirby were also seen turning, facing Plum.

Kirby and The Squeak Twin then walked over to Plum and there they saw, immediately, the strange sword poking outta the tree.

"Uhh…Dude…It's a sword…A huge sword." Squeako murmured, looking up at the sword. "How do you think it got up there?" he said, turning to Plum.

"Dunno…" Plum muttered, while staring at the golden sword. "…It sure is pretty, though…I never seen a sword from up this close before."

Plum then went to reach out toward the sword. "WAIT!" Squeaka suddenly shouted. "What're you doing?"

"I'm gonna pull the sword outta the tree and take a closer look at it." Plum said, turning around.

"But…Don't you think that's dangerous?" Squeaka said, moving over to Plum. "It must've been left there for a reason, ya know? And, whoever it belongs to, he or she is probably gonna come back for it." she then closed her eyes and huffed. "I think we should leave it and keep moving."

"Ah, C'mon, sis, don't be a party-pooper." Squeako chortled. "I want to see the sword from close up as well, too."

"Humph. If you two want to be stupid and fidget around with other peoples belongings, then that's fine by me." Squeaka huffed, turning away from Plum and Squeako.

"C'mon, babe, pull that thing out." Squeako sniggered.

"Right." Plum nodded. Plum then turned toward the tree, placed both her hands on the sword and then tried tugging. "ERMMMMM!!" she grunted, but to no luck. "Uhh…Wow…I couldn't even make it budge."

"I would help, babe…Really." Squeako then chuckled, while looking down at himself. "…But unfortunately…I have no arms. Maybe the fat little blob could pull it out."

"Oh, that's a good idea." Plum giggled, before turning to Kirby. "Kirby, do you think you can pull that sword outta the tree?"

"Poyo." Kirby nodded. Kirby then floated over to the tree and placed both of his nubs on the blade. "Hrmmmmm!!" he grunted. But, to no avail. "Ooooh…" he moaned, as he placed his head down.

"Don't worry, Kirby, you did you best." Plum smiled, rubbing Kirby on the top of the head. "Now, let me try again. I bet I could pull it out this time."

Plum was just about to grab the sword, when somebody suddenly came running from behind the tree, it was a man with blue hair. The man lunged at Plum, jacking her up, and then slammed her into the tree.

"EEEEEKKKK!" Plum shrieked, closing her eyes.

"ERRRRR! How dare you?!" the man roared, while effortlessly pulling his sword outta the tree. "Now, before I destroy you utterly! Tell ME?! Why you were trying to STEAL my blade?!" he growled, pointing the tip of his blade toward Plum's throat.

"AHHHH!! Did I not tell you two?" Squeaka shrieked, jumping into some bushes. "That blade belonged to somebody and now he's back to get it."

"ARRR! I should…" The man then took a closer look at Plum. "…Wait?! Y-You're just a little girl?" the man muttered, staring perplexed at her.

Plum could feel the man grip on her loosen. As she fell on the ground, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Ike, he was standing over her with his arms cross, his blade was sticking outta the ground. "Uhh…" she muttered, while blushing slightly.

Ike was still standing over Plum, when he noticed Kirby leaping toward him from behind, he was holding his hammer in his nubs. "ARRR! I don't think so!" Ike yelped, quickly parrying Kirby with his blade.

Kirby was knocked down to the ground. "Kirby! Are you okay?" Plum said, running over to him.

"…Coward." Ike sneered, walking over to Kirby. "…Wait?! haven't seen you before?" he then took a closer look at Kirby. "Yeah! I have seen you before! You're Meta Knight's friend, aren't you?" he then lifted his blade up high. "If it wasn't for him, Marth would still be with me!" he then swung his blade down toward Kirby. "After I'm finish deposing of you. I'm gonna track down Meta Knight and destroy him, with extreme PREJUDICE!"

Ike's blade was almost down to Kirby, when Plum jumped in front of him. "NOOOO! Stop it! PLEASE!" Plum pleased, pulling her arms out.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ike griped, slamming his blade into the ground. "My quarrel is with him, not you!" he growled, pointing his blade at Kirby. "If you truly value your life, you'll not interfere."

"Wait! Please don't hurt Kirby." Plum said firmly, her arms still out. "I don't know what Meta Knight did to make you so angry, but I know for a FACT that Kirby didn't have anything to do with it."

Ike was just about to answer back, when Kirby suddenly jumped up and started pummeling him in the face with his Vulcan Jab attack. "Kirby! STOP!" Plum shouted.

However, Kirby didn't listen, instead, he spun downward (Pressing A in midair, if it was the actual game) and pulled out his hammer. Kirby then pulled back and slammed his hammer, HARD, into Ike's stomach, sending the swordsman flying.

"NOOOOO!" Plum shrieked as she watched Ike go crashing completely through the tree, breaking it in halve. Plum then ran over to the broken tree. "…A-Are you okay?" she muttered, peeking inside the tree.

Ike then came bursting outta the tree, he was fuming mad. "THAT IT!" Ike snarled, gripping his blade with both hands. "He's gonna feel the full wrath of my Ragnell!"

"Dude…" Squeako snickered. "The swordsman and the pink blob's are totally gonna scrap it off. Awesome!"

Squeaka was still hiding behind the bushes, staring at both Kirby and Ike. "Master Daroach, where are you? I could really use your assistance at the moment…" she said to herself.

Ike and Kirby then went charging at each other, Kirby holding his hammer, and Ike holding his blade. The two were just about to clash once more. "That's…ENOUGH!!" Plum yelled, coming between the both other them.

"Uhh…" Ike gasped, as him and Kirby stared at the young girl.

"STOP FIGHTING!!" Plum then turned toward Ike, her cheeks were still pink. "Listen. I know you're angry at Meta Knight, but that not fair for you to take your anger off on Kirby." she then sighed. "He only attacked you because, he thought that you were gonna hurt me."

Ike then turned to Kirby and huffed. "Humph. Whatever, I don't have to take this." Ike then put his extremely heave sword on his shoulder. "I need to find Marth. You two are just wasting my time."

Ike turned and started walking away from Plum and Kirby. "Wait!" Plum shouted. Ike stopped, but he didn't turn around. "You lost your friend somewhere in this jungle?"

"No. I didn't lose him. Somebody from his world turn him into a Trophy and carried him away." Ike said, pointing at Kirby.

"A trophy?" Plum muttered. Squeaka was seen in the background gulping.

"Now, if you excuse me." Ike said, walking off again.

"Wait! Don't go." Plum shouted. "Maybe, we can help you find Marth…" she said, hesitantly.

"I'm listening. Continue." Ike said, stopping once again.

"Uhh…Well." Plum mumbled, while blushing. "If you stay with us I promise, we will help you find your friend."

"If you truly ARE speaking to me with the utmost honesty, then I MIGHT consider taking your offer." Ike said, finally turning to Plum.

Plum then smiled. "Oh, I'm definitely speaking with sincerity. I promise that we'll help you find your friend. But first, we have to find our way outta here."

"Humph. Agreed." Ike huffed, folding his arms with his eyes closed.

Plum just blushed. "…Okay."
