Wow, I got a ton of reviews! Thanks a lot you guys! You're the best! This story officially ranks the top of my Most Reviewed list, well, since you guys mainly put OC's, heh.

Hope you guys like this next chapter!

Also, I started this again, and I'll post links to videos that have the songs, since some people have problems finding these. I'll post them on my profile. Opening and ending songs that I listen to for this fic to have an anime-feel to it. If any one of you has suggestions for the opening/ending music for this, please let me know.

Subspace Saga

Chapter 2

An Icy Problem

Tabuu floated among his empty void of Subspace. The view of Power Academy was seen through a bubble. The deity watched on his enemy, watching for any weaknesses or openings for an attack. He knew a way to attack, and that was to get the ROB that led his army before, the same ROB that was the Ancient Minister back then. If he could regain control over it, then he would be able to manufacture Subspace Bombs. The being had to find someone new to trust in. There were lots of considerations. Bowser was only loyal to Master Hand, but his hatred to Mario could be of some use. He couldn't trust Ganondorf, but the tyrant was still trapped in his trophy stand. The other enemies were being reconstructed by the Shadow Bugs. They will be fully restored, but he was running low on the Shadow Bugs. Soon enough, he wouldn't have any more left.

The one being that had all the Shadow Bugs.

Tabuu needed Mr. Game and Watch.

I need assistance for help. Tabuu thought.

Meanwhile, back at the Power Academy, Gym class began. All the students were doing an activity of exercise. There were so many activities, including exercise, running, weights, sparring, or anything else. Sonic and Captain Falcon overviewed everyone's duties with smiles on their faces.

"Everyone, listen up! Gym class lasts for two hours with a half-hour break in between. That means you have forty-five minutes to train in this class. See, the purpose of gym class is pretty simple. Falcon can explain that one." Sonic said, passing the speech to the racer.

"YES! Gym class is a way to train with what you learned from each of your classes. We have everything needed to train harder, and this gym is open twenty-four seven. See, each of your classes focuses on one single point. You can train in whatever you feel like. If you need help though, you're free to ask."

"Of course, if you need a break, you can take one, but you can't leave the Gym during this time. If you do, we'll find you and take you back. After the class is over, you all have four hours to roam around until nine o' clock, where you all have an hour left to get back in your dorms. Inside, your dorm leaders will make sure everyone is accounted for. If you are not at your dorm, then please alert Master Hand or your dorm leaders if you have plans. If you are missing, we will search for you in the case of being captured by any possible enemy. We talk about these rules because it is near the end of the day. Now, get back to training your hearts out!" Sonic declared. The students cheered out too and got to work.

"So, the both of us are going to make sure all these students are here, right?" Captain Falcon asked the blue hedgehog.

"Yeah, let's see here…" Sonic said as he dashed to the back office and brought back a list. Captain Falcon took it and looked down the list. It was a pretty long list, but it was average. It listed all the students that were in the Gym Class and all the possibilities that were late in coming*. Their eyes darted from the paper and then back to the students. Everyone that wasn't in the other list was there.

"Good. That accounts for everything. All the students are here in this very gym. Come on Falcon, let's race again if you want." Sonic said, tapping his red shoes on the ground.

"Fine then Sonic, show me your moves!" Captain Falcon responded as both of them bolted for the track and ran laps to see who's faster. Some students decided to take off after them in an attempt to catch up. It seemed like a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, just outside the cafeteria, ROB floated around, looking at all the sights to see in Power Academy. It was the afternoon sky, and it sure was pretty, or at least that was what ROB guessed. He knew he was just a machine though, and he wasn't programmed to have feelings or know about admiration. All he knew was objectives and goals, but he could think a lot about everything.

ROB was outside because the robot remembered all his fallen comrades a long time ago back in the Isle of the Ancients. It was such a peaceful time with his fellow ROBs. Their island floated in the sky hopefully to never be bothered again, but Tabuu came along and took over everything. Their creation of the Subspace Bomb shattered this dimension, and every time one was detonated, two ROBs had to be sacrificed. He despised that his own fellows had to turn to scrap every time.

"ROB? What are you doing out here?" A voice asked the robot. His head turned to see Princess Peach coming from another part of the campus. She was holding a big wooden basket.

"I am simply roaming around the grounds. It is what people do when they are thinking. What about you?" ROB asked.

"Oh, I was just delivering some snacks and refreshments to the others who are doing patrol. You can't keep your guard on an empty stomach, can you?" Peach asked.

"No. Their guard work would be insufficient. It is a very thoughtful thing of Master Hand to do." ROB mentioned, lifting his arms up and down.

"Nope. Me and Zelda started cooking and then Dawn came to help once her class was done. We just thought it would be nice for everyone to just relax with these students. We all need to be in a good mood." Peach added. ROB thought about the previous statement for a bit.

"Yes. I agree. How is Mario's condition?" ROB asked.

"Mario is doing pretty great. He says his class is pretty fun to teach. It's all about teamwork and the right things to do." She told the robot and paused for a second. ROB turned around and looked at the lake for a second. Something caused the water to ripple for a second. Peach didn't notice it, but she wondered what caused ROB to disregard Peach.

"ROB? What's wrong?" The princess asked. The robot scanned for anything that might have caused the ripple, but nothing seemed to be there. His thermal scanners (installed by Fox and Samus themselves.) didn't pick up anything either. It was odd to the robot. Not much caused a ripple out of nowhere.

"ROB?" Peach asked again. The robot turned to face her.

"I apologize. I must be having a slight bug in my system. You have a pleasant day, Peach." ROB said and floated away towards the offices. Peach shook off any other odd feelings and walked along the path to the Cafeteria. Around this time of day, the Smashers hung out there as their break room until dinner was going to be served. As the princess entered the doors, the smells of dinner filled the air. Game and Watch was cooking up something good.

"Peach!" Zelda called out to her from one of the tables. Both princesses sat down.

"So, you gave the snacks to the Patrol section on the East side, right?" Zelda asked.

"Of course! What about you and Dawn?" Peach asked.

I already got it done. I have Fayore's Wind, so it isn't too hard. Dawn is still out there getting the goodies to the North side. She should be back any minute." Zelda answered.

"Well, that's good news. Besides that, I thought she would be with Mikee around this time. They both have no classes for the rest of the day, don't they?" Peach asked.

"Mikee went to Smashville for some time to think. Apparently, one of the students reminded him of something and he needed some time alone to think. Dawn is just giving him some time to himself." The brown-haired princess answered.

"What about Link and Meta Knight? How are their classes going?" Their conversation continued onward, both having fun conversing about their heroes. It was around this time when the students left the Gym Class. They looked pretty exhausted from their recent class. Some even looked pretty injured, but each and every one of them looked satisfied. This was a great first day for everyone.

"Dia, hey!" Someone called out to the PSI girl. She turned around to see her brother, Risk. He looked pretty excited, as if he heard something worthwhile.

"Risk? What's up?" She asked.

"Well, are we going to Smashville? I hear that there's a bustling market going on which has all the different items from the different worlds. They might have battle weapons for us too." Risk mentioned.

"Well, I wanted to find something good to eat. We'll eat something, and then shop around for weapons." She said and they began to make their way towards the gate when two fast ships took off to the distance. She didn't know what those were, but one was sort of blue and one was red and both were sort of different shapes.

"Whoa, look at that! I wonder what those two are going to do? It's probably some awesome air fights." Risk exclaimed. Dia shrugged and walked onward.

"Well, Wolf and a student named Gregory Macolm took off in their ships towards the Delfino Isles. Speaking of which, there's been some recent activity around the Plaza where the cave is located within Corona Mountain. Apparently, some of the citizens have gone missing around there. Samus, if it is all right with you, investigate the vanishing citizens of Delfino Plaza." Master Hand asked. He was floating among holograms in a wide room. Holograms of all the Smashers were there, even with Mikee and Dawn.

"Understood, Master Hand." Samus answered.

"I hope they're okay though. They probably got lost or something or went too far into the cave." Princess Peach mentioned.

"Next on the list is a Co-Op Mission. This is simply a mission where teachers go with students to complete missions. It teaches teamwork, extra training, and bonding with teacher and student. The benefits go to the students and the teachers depending on the reward you'll get and the mission you do." Master Hand explained.

"That's a brilliant idea Master Hand! When will these missions be available?" Mario asked.

"They will be open in a few days once our teams find requests from all over the universe. I promise, this will open new ways and for these students to get much stronger. Now, our meeting, dismissed." Master Hand announced and all the holograms vanished instantly. The deity of Brawl floated around for a moment and then vanished in a cloud of black smoke.

As for Greg and Wolf, they were flying pretty high above Delfino Plaza. Both of them were chasing each other, firing lasers and doing barrel rolls. It was a decent fight if anyone really saw it.

"Well, well, well, someone has been practicing. I'm slightly impressed, Greg." Wolf commented.

"Don't be. I plan on beating you on this fight." Greg replied, boosting faster and chasing Wolf's tail. The older pilot scoffed and made a tight U-turn after boosting, slightly losing Greg's pursuit. The fox followed and fired off more lasers, but Wolf barrel-rolled to deflect them. As they flew, Samus's ship flew past them undetected into the city. The sunset was coming, but it couldn't be enjoyed by the bounty hunter as she landed near-by. Her Varia Suit was armed as she made her way into the caves.

These sort of missions seemed to be a waste of her time. As Peach said, it was probably some lost Pintas and that no one bothered to look for them. They enjoyed volcanoes and the heat given off by the lava and magma, so it shouldn't waste too much time.

What she discovered within Corona Mountain was quite shocking. It wasn't hot at all. It was just thirty-six degrees, below zero. The entire cave was encased in ice. She was lucky to have the Varia Suit.

"Samus to Base, I reached the Corona Cave, but it's completely covered in ice. I didn't find the missing Pintas though. I'll investigate further in." Samus reported over her comms channel. The cave was deep as expected, but the ice was cut, as if something dug its way in. There were no tracks so it wasn't from a vehicle.

She had to begin charging her beam in order to have some light in the cave. As she progressed inward, it was darker, and the tunnel lead to the center of the mountain. It was hollowed out, but the ice covered the top, so there was no light up there either. Her Charge Beam didn't provide all that much light, even with the sunset beginning to fade, making it even darker. Her Thermal Visor activated as she only saw dark blue, but then there were two slightly red scans, and they were the Pintas! The problem was that they were encased in a large block of ice.

"What the heck?" She exclaimed as she switched to her Flare Beam and began melting the ice, but something picked up on her radar. There was a large crash behind her as she turned on reflex.

"WHAT THE-" She yelled and fired several times before being encased in a freezing blast of ice. A roar followed up afterward, echoing out the cave and causing a slight crack on the ground.

Well, it ain't much, and I wanted this up by the Fourth of July, but it's the 5th now at 1:05 AM.

So, it's a bit shorter than normal, I had this typed up before, but my laptop decided to update itself, and with that, it deleted half this original story. It was going to be awesome. The laptop didn't think so. No more cookies for this junk!

Anyway, sorry it took so long guys. While I'm away off this story, I'm doing research (By research, I mean watching Let's Plays and replaying some old games related to some characters.) of the Nintendo universe, and I recently watched through Mother 3, so I know the past behind Lucas. So, I'm not wasting my time, I think.

As for other OC's appearences, well, it's difficult. I think I have over twenty characters who want their characters to be in this, but if you noticed, I've stuck with the more Nintento-universe characters. The characters who seem real-life to me and from other universes have a small delay, since it involves more research. It is also the fact that the current plans don't call for many appearances, but I do promise you this: your characters will appear eventually. I will grind my head to make a situation where it brings out the best, but there are still some that I can't use in the end. During that time, I'll let you guys know.

Now, I made things easier on myself by taking a hint from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and created 'Missions.' Basically, teams of students followed by a Smasher or Teacher will go out and complete a mission. This would help me since I'll showcase a bunch of OC's at once.

So, read, review, tell your friends, and see you next time after another few months, expect an update! I'm just kidding. There's going to be a mini-boss fight next chapter though, and if you know me, fight scenes are my specialty. Expect a chapter soon you guys.
