Chapter 5: Reuniting With All but Two
By PokeTrainer
The Seashore Cliff Pikachu's P.O.V
Okay, only a few words described how I felt at the moment. And they are: annoyed, ticked and ready to kill something. On our way to meet the others Falcon was being annoying as hell. I swear he was only here as a practice dummy instead of a fighter. He could tick anyone off and then get sent to Dr. Mario's office a few minutes after. Right after we left the Island of the Ancients he started flirting with Samus while HE was driving. Do you know how hard it to restrain her from killing him? It took D.K., Diddy, Olimar and myself to just stop her from strangling him. R.O.B helped pry her away when she was charging a charge shot. By the time we landed Samus was about to use her zero beam on Falcon. We quickly tried to drag her out and barely made it outside when the beam went off. Samus' armor fell off but she quickly put it back together. Damn that Captain Falcon. Why'd he have to go and tick off Samus of all the girls here? He's a complete idiot, I thought. As we dragged Samus away from Captain Falcon Meta Knight landed his ship onto the ground. The passengers on the Halberd jumped down from where they were and walked over to the group of smashers waiting for us. While we were dragging Samus away I heard a few snickers coming from the crowd of smashers in front of us. I instantly recognized them as Mario's and… Roy's! What the hell is Roy doing here? He should be back at Pharae, I thought. I let go of Samus and ran to where the voices were. To my surprise Mario was talking with the Melee 'rejects', as I always called them to mess with them, and Ike was talking with Lucas, Pit, Red, and Toon. Wait, back track. Pit, Red and Toon!?! Then I turned to Link who was nervously waving at me.
"Hey Pikachu, how are you? Listen, I know you want answers and you'll get them," Link said as I scurried over.
"You bet I want answers, but I want them now. If this really because of some dumb wish why are they back? And what's with the rejects being back? Who are those other two girls? And why are you acting as if I was going to kill you? You're the freaking wielder of the tri-force of courage," I questioned, making the Hylian even more nervous. Well, more like embarrassed.
"Okay, first off the reason I looked nervous is because you looked ticked. We've already witnessed a pissed Pikachu before and do not wish to go through that again."
"The only reason I'm pissed is because Falcon was flirting with Samus while he was driving and the others and I had to keep her from killing him so we wouldn't crash into the dang ocean water and have to swim all the way here. Not to mention almost getting hit by her zero beam as we dragged her out of the ship. I have half a mind to-"
"Pikachu, I see the point. Now do you want an explanation or not? 'Cause if not we can just get started on a plan to finish Tabuu," Link interrupted.
"Explanation please," I responded. Then the Hylian walked over to me and whispered what had taken place while I was with Samus. He gave the most details when it came to the point he found the boys with the girl named Yukiko. What got me thinking was why they weren't in their own dimensions. But I let the thought go as he told the rest of the story. He finished his story as Ike approached us with Red and the others.
"Hey Pikachu, it's been awhile," the swordsmen welcomed.
"Cool, a Pikachu," Red commented.
"What's a Pikachu? Is he a Pokémon Red," Pit wondered.
"Yes, he is. Pikachu's an electric mouse Pokémon. He may be small but sure packs a punch. And by the look of his fur someone took real good care of him," Red responded.
"You're so lucky to have these creatures around," Toon commented. I blushed from embarrassment.
"Sorry for the interruption but it's about time we planned out our next actions," the girl known as Yukiko announced.
"Yukiko's right. We don't know when the enemy will strike so we should have a plan," the other girl named Aurora said.
"Gather everyone up and we'll start making a plan," I responded. Then the girls went off and started gathering the smashers.
After a good ten minutes both Aurora and Yukiko brought the rest of the smashers over to the area we were waiting. And somehow they were able to bring Samus over without her trying to kill Falcon. Everyone introduced themselves to the new comers that didn't participate in Melee and the new comers did the same so that everyone got to know each other. Then two people from each group that traveled together stepped up and began devising a plan.
"The leader is that damn Gannondorf. He was the one controlling the R.O.B units at the Research Facility," Samus commented.
"It can't be him, he isn't that powerful. There is no way he and Bowser could work together without trying to kill each other. You know that," Link responded, trying not to sound suspicious.
"Who's Gannondorf? And Bowser? I've never heard of them before now," Yukiko said.
"Bowser's a giant turtle with spikes on his shell and he walks on two legs. Gannondorf is supposedly the king of evil. He holds the tri-force of power. He has flame colored hair and very dark skin," Link responded.
"And you're scared of them? They seem like easy to beat 'creatures'," Aurora said.
"And you've faced worse? Like what, a giant fish," Samus smirked.
"Try PokeTrainer on a bad day. We've been training together since we all met and continued to do so when my other two sisters left," Yukiko growled.
"You don't seem so tough," Samus retorted.
"Oh, and you think that suit makes you look so tough," Yukiko sneered, while glaring at Samus. Samus just ignored her. Red sighed. Wonder what's going on in his mind?
Red's P.O.V
Why does Yukiko have to go and pick a fight? That's the last thing we need right now. We have no idea what's going on and they're about to fight! I sighed, hoping they would stop.
"Are you listening to me!?! I'm talking to you," Yukiko yelled, loud enough for anyone near the lake could hear.
"Yeah, I'm listening. Why can't you just shut up! You're annoying," Samus argued. Yukiko getting mad is an understatement. She was pissed, even more than when PokeTrainer dropped us into the water as revenge. Yukiko got up and slapped Samus straight across her face leaving a cherry red mark on the bounty hunters face. Samus got up and slapped Yukiko back leaving a crimson mark on the teen's face. I got up and walked over to Yukiko. Before she could slap Samus again I stopped her. I grabbed hold of her wrist and held it tightly so she couldn't escape.
"Let go Red. This has nothing to do with you," Yukiko ordered.
"Just stop it. Stop it. Yukiko, this does have to do with me! We're all in this together and fighting each other won't help! Just stop! What good is this going to do? Don't you understand!?! What if Poke were here? Or if Marth was here? Would they want this? No, they wouldn't! They'd want us to get along and be friends with each other. Fighting isn't going to do anything but cause a greater problem! Damn it, are you even listening to me Yukiko!?! Look at me," I pleaded. This wasn't the time to be fighting. I may not have been through what these people have, but I still understand the situation better than them. Then I saw Yukiko staring right at me, along with Samus and Pikachu. Everything was quite for a few moments.
"I-I'm sorry, Red. You're right; this isn't the time to be fighting one another. We should be focusing on the enemy. I've known PokeTrainer longer than you, yet you seem to understand how she'd feel better than I ever could. You're a real friend Red," Yukiko admitted. I was at a loss for words, and so was about everyone else around.
"Wow kid. You sure know how to stop a fight. But who is Poke? She seems like a nice person to meet," Samus complemented.
"She's a friend of ours. She and Marth got separated from us mid-air. After that we met Link and his friends," I stated.
"Shouldn't Marth have been directly sent home? He wasn't supposed to be here because he let Roy take his place in Brawl," Fox addressed.
"Remember, he was exiled. He couldn't return home, but was too stubborn to let Roy leave when the guy loved battling so much," Falco acknowledged.
"What are you talking about? What's with the whole Marth is exiled thing? He seemed like he was heading home when we found him," Yukiko implied.
"How exactly did you find us? I mean when we woke up in your home you said you found us, but not how you did it or where," Toon questioned.
"I thought Poke told you. Well, I'm not surprised. She was more worried about your well-being than anything else. You see, we were on one of our daily walks in the forest. Usually we go as far as the pit in the forest and were about to turn around. That was until Poke saw the gleam from Marth's circlet on the other side. She drifted over to the area and found all four of you there. You each had high fevers and seemed in pain. Poke insisted on taking care of you even though we knew not of who you were. That never mattered to her though, that's just who she is. After that we took you guys to our home and took care of you until you felt better. You did wake up once before but you still had the fevers. And that's about it." Yukiko explained.
"That still doesn't explain why Marth was here in the first place," Samus noted.
"Shouldn't we be focusing on a plan now, and then worry about Marth? I mean we've already used up most of the morning talking of this," Lucas mentioned.
"Yeah, you're right, so here's the plan…" Link began but I didn't bother listening. I was thinking of what happened to both Marth and Poke. I knew they were strong but I was worried about how they were actually doing. Please be safe you two.
Near the Ruins PokeTrainer's P.O.V
We were nearing the ruins but stopped dead in our tracks. We saw another one of those subspace bombs that have already been detonated. Just our luck.
"(Now what? Is there anywhere else to go? Poke, what do you think we should do,)" Marth asked.
"Well, we could head to mountain range which isn't much farther. We're rather close to the area after all, it is a few minutes away," I stated. He nodded and we headed around the subspace towards the mountains. It was quite except for the usual creature walking around. They were pretty easy to beat. We reached the base of the mountain in twenty minutes flat. When we reached the area nothing was there. Not a single clue to if anything living was ever in this area that is except the small amounts of blood on the ground. The blood was drying up but still a bit moist, meaning someone was here a little while ago.
"Marth, someone was here a little while ago. Should we try to find them? They couldn't have gotten far," I noted.
"(Yeah but which way do we go? All we have is the trail of blood,)" Marth acknowledged. I began to think about the current situation until I heard someone yell,
"Are you even listening to me!?! I'm talking to you!"
"Please tell me you heard that," I told Marth.
"(I think we could have heard that in the forest,)" Marth pointed out.
"Well, at least we know which way to go," I said pointing due north. Marth nodded as we started straying towards the sound of the voice. It wasn't very far away. It was about five minutes away. We hid behind a rock on the seashore cliff.
"I haven't been here in days," I murmured. Then I peeked out from behind and saw Red holding Yukiko's wrist and pleading to her about something. We were too far off to hear, but could easily see what was going on. Red, Yukiko, Pit and Toon were surrounded by a lot of people and humanoid animals. There were also Pokémon, a pink puffball, a blue puffball in armor, and a green dinosaur. Though they all seemed to be talking, so I assumed it was safe. However I didn't think we should show ourselves.
"(Those are some of the competitors from the Melee tournament and some new comers from this tournament. Don't worry they are completely safe to be around. But, should we confront them? They are my friends,)" Marth addressed.
"No, I have a feeling something's going to happen. It would be safe to watch from a distance. Besides, we can't babysit them all the time now can we?" I answered and then winked at the swordsmen. A small blush appeared on his face. I just quietly giggled making his blush deepen. It took us a few minutes to finally calm down but when we did we saw that everyone was loading their ships into the largest of the ships and then entering the ship itself. "Well, at least they are working together on this."
"(True, but for how long? In Melee we barely got along unless we came from the same general area,)" Marth pointed out.
"Yeah but most of these guys are new right? So wouldn't they at least try to get along. Especially with the world at stake," I responded. I really didn't like where this conversation was going, and I knew something bad would go wrong. The ship then took off into the air and headed straight towards the Island of the Ancients.
"(Why are they heading in that direction? Is there anything of interest in that area Poke,)" Marth asked.
"Yeah, the source of the subspace…. The Island of the Ancients. At least that's where I think they're going. Hopefully they get there safely, but I get the feeling that they're going to get to reckless and somehow get in trouble. And you know what I'm talking about," I responded.
"(How are we going to reach them? I don't really think you trying to fly us there again using your powers,)" Marth wondered.
" Trust me on this okay. Don't worry I won't be flying us," I smirked, leaving Marth completely clueless. I laughed and took out the Pokéball from my necklace. Marth was still a bit confused. I chuckled, "You didn't honestly think I only worked with my sword and powers, did you? Remember, I even told you that Yukiko and I both use Pokémon. Although mine are all evolved and I have one that can actually fly. I'll even introduce you to him seeing as you won't let me fly. Besides he's our only choice to get there now. Now give me some space," I responded.
Marth quickly backed up as I tossed the Pokéball into the air. "Come out of the shadows Shadow!" I called as the Pokéball opened releasing a Giritina in its altered form. Marth jumped back in surprise but tripped and landed on his back.
"(What is that thing,)" He asked.
"I'm not a thing swordsmen. I'm a legendary Pokémon of the Giritina species. The name's Shadow and you would be," Shadow asked.
"(I'm Marth, it's nice to meet you,)" Marth responded.
"Okay Marth, now miss Poke, what is it you are need of assistance for? As always I'm happy to help," Shadow responded.
"You know how Yukiko is reckless right? Well so are the three other boys from before. So we were hoping if you can help us follow them 'cause as you know my powers in levitating and teleporting still need a few adjustments so I can't really fly us that far. So can you please help us out? I'd be very grateful," I pleaded. Shadow just nodded and allowed us to sit on his back. Just as we were about to take off an energy beam shot off in the distance. It hit the area near us forming another one of those subspace orbs that we saw before. However the force of the beam was strong enough to push us into the subspace.
On the Halberd Fox's P.O.V
We were nearing our destination, the Islands of the Ancients. I don't know why we had to go there when Pikachu said the island was engulfed but what he described as subspace. Meta Knight had told us to head down to our ships as he set the ship to auto pilot. Then he headed down to our ship that I was supposed to be driving, but nooooooooooo. That girl Yukiko kicked me outta my seat and said she'd pilot it. It was my ship so I was supposed to piloting it. Damn she's stubborn, more so than Falco who was in another ship. I believe it was Samus', I feel sorry for him.
"It is time to lift off guys, unless you want to be hit by that beam coming towards us," Meta Knight announced through the speakers of my ship.
"Guys, buckle up back there 'cause this is gonna be one wild ride," Yukiko warned as we took off. We escaped just as the beam hit the Halberd. Then I looked to Meta Knight, who seemed to ready to kill something. Then we were getting attacked by the weapons on the Subspace Gunship. Yukiko simply did a barrel roll to dodge the attack, but soon I noticed something else, mostly cause I fell on my head. She was flying the damn ship upside down! I was about to get up when I felt four bodies land on top of me. First was Red, then Toon Link, then Pit and lastly, Aurora. Lucas was hanging upside down from his seat beat.
"Yukiko! Turn this god damn ship up right! I don't like being upside down on my own ship," I yelled.
"Someone help me please!?! I'm the one whose actually upside down," Lucas yelped. Meta Knight didn't seem to have a care in the world.
"I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you Foxy ol' boy," Yukiko responded. As if I wasn't mad enough when everyone was off of me, she turned the ship back right side up making us land in the exact same position as before.
"YUKIKO," The five of us yelled. Lucas and Meta Knight just sweatdropped and Yukiko was laughing her ass off. Damn teenage girl thinking she's the boss around here!
Attacking the Subspace Gunship Kirby's P.O.V
Apparently my job was important seeing as Pikachu followed me using my Warpstar. I knew I couldn't mess up or else Pikachu and the others will have my head. All I had to do was destroy part of the ship using Dragoon. How hard would that be? The signal was when the gunship started firing, then I'd come swooping in and destroy the machine. Which is exactly what I did. I destroyed the part that was shooting out subspace. Then the ship retreated into the Subspace area and we all entered, ready to fight.
Author Note Section:
First off, Please don't kill me for the late update. School gets hectic especially since my elective takes care of most of the school events we hold. But still, I delivered like I promised. So again, don't kill me! Secondly, I've set up a poll on my profile so you get to decide Tabuu's fate and that'll take place after the next chapter. The next chapter will be just like in the game except somewhat different. I won't really give out details. Yadda yadda yadda… I'd like to thank PKAurora and Diagon the Dialga for reviewing. You girls rock!
Anyway:
What's going to happen to Marth and the others?
Why the heck did Yukiko give in so easily to Red's pleas?
And why the heck am I asking you? You'll find out very soon on New Destiny!
Good-bye for now! XD
