Marth is sitting on the same plush blue chair and was in the same room that he was in the previous episode. He put away his gaming magazine and looked at the camera once more.
"Welcome back to Fate of the Melee Rejects. Once again, I'm Marth Lowell. Like I said in the sneek peek last episode, we will observe Mewtwo, the physic Pokémon from Kanto." said Marth.
Marth held Mewtwo's headshot picture from the Melee tournaments in his hand. The background was the same as the other Melee Smasher's headshots, but the main color of the background was purple. Mewtwo looked like he was going to cast some aura ball. His name was printed on silver ink, and the silver Pokeball insignia was beside his name.
"Because Mewtwo does not like socializing with people, we will have to rely on photos, documents, interviews and security camera footage. He still resides in Smash Mansion, but we're not sure what he does for a living. Until now. "
The scene cuts to the outside of Master Hand's office. Inside were Master Hand, Mewtwo and Captain Falcon. Master Hand was sitting in front of a desk, Mewtwo was behind him, and Captain Falcon was sitting on a leather chair nearby.
"Hello Douglas, we would like to offer you a spot in the next tournament. We're not sure what to name it, but we'd like you to be a player." offered Master Hand. He gave Captain Falcon a few tiny gourmet chocolates and jelly beans.
Captain Falcon glanced at the door. He saw a couple cameras peeking into the room.
"I think we're being watched." said Captain Falcon.
Master Hand looked up and walked to the wooden door with the glass pane. It noticed Marth and the camera crew.
"Marth Lowell of Altea, you are not welcome at this time. And it is against the rules to film people without their permission. Even through you manage to upload it onto YouTube, we have the right to ask Google to take it down." yelled Master Hand.
It grabbed one of the cameraman's cameras, deleted the video footage, and tossed it back to the cameraman.(He didn't notice the other cameramen's cameras)
"I am going to give you a warning, if we catch you spying on another Smasher, you will lose your personalized meal privileges, and run the risk of being replaced by Roy in the forth tournament." instructed Master Hand.
He went back into his office and continued his "talk" with Captain Falcon. Marth returned back to his room to interact with the viewers.
"I work as a security guard in the night shift and have access to every security camera in a single room. When we return, we will watch the footage of Mewtwo's job." said Marth.
Meanwhile:
The Smash Kids were parked back at the TV again and were finished watching the cartoons.
"Hey Lucas, should we tune in to Fate of the Melee Rejects?" asked Ness.
"I loved that sneek peek with the Mewtwo! I can't wait to see his job after Melee!" cheered Lucas.
They grabbed the remote from Red and changed the channel to the one with Fate of the Melee Rejects on. But they were too late. Marth had finished filming Captain Falcon and the commercial break was going to start.
"Oh god, not the HeadOn commercial. I still feel bad for poor Paula, Ness's girlfriend." whined Toon Link.
To their surprise, they got another awkward commercial that wasn't HeadOn.
"Phew. I guess Paula managed to take down that commercial" Ness said with relief.
Before anyone could say anything, the guy on the commercial gave them a heart attack. He was a Toad, wore a blue jacket instead of the usual vest, and held some packet of mysterious tablets in his hands.
"HI! TOAD MAYS HERE" yelled Toad Mays in a cheerful voice, as he looked at the camera, smiling. "And I'm here to show you the original Miracle Berry Tablet!"
"What?" asked Nana. She had a shocked look on her face.
"The fastest, best, quickest and safest way to taste any sour, bitter or acidic food guaranteed! Here's how it works! Just put the tablet in your mouth until the tablet completely dissolves, and you can taste any food in seconds without making you belch, vomit or pucker!"
A model with hot pink spiky hair, who was wearing a cyan hooded dress, was beside Toad Mays, ready to test the product.
"KUMATORA?" yelled Lucas, as he spat his soda out of his mouth. It stained the recently cleaned carpet again.
"At least it wasn't Paula." replied Ness. "I still don't get her and her crazy antics. She told me that she was going to model some clothes and toys, but she lied to me!"
Kumatora consumed the tablet and tried out her new powers on a freshly cut lemon.
"If you like lemons, but not the sourness, this product is for you!" said Toad Mays loudly.
Kumatora gave a thumb up on the taste of the lemon.
"It's sweet, like lemon candy or lemonade!" she replied with a smile on her face. She also have a thumbs up.
"Lemons, coffee, even soy sauce can be made sweet thanks to your new taste bud! Share this with your friends at a food tasting party! The possibilities are endless with Miracle Berry Tablets!"
The scene cuts to Kumatora, Palutena, Daisy, Leaf, Krystal, Lyn and Audino sitting on a couch. In front of them was a wooden coffee table. On top is a giant plate holding a variety of sour and acidic foods. Beside the plate were some toothpicks and more of the Miracle Berry Tablets. Palutena and Krystal grabbed a bottle of vinegar, transferred it to a cup and drank it without puckering. The rest of the girls tasted the food and gave replies of sweetness.
"Are you sure this is safe? Only Kumatora and the tasting party girls had tested it. I'm not sure if they're acting, but I think Toad Mays put artificial sugar in the foods, replaced the vinegar with sugar water and paid them to say that it's sweet." warned Red. "I don't know if it had killed multiple people. That's what they don't tell you."
"Imagine drinking pure vinegar without spitting out one bit!"
The scene cuts back to Toad Mays with his tablets.
"The secret? The tablet's made from a miracle berry that makes sour foods taste sweet! It coats the sour part of your tongue and temporarily replaces the sour taste buds with sweet taste buds!"
"It's more fun than buying presweetened foods, and the only puckers you make are the puckers against the people who aren't willing to try it!"
"Don't worry! If you think you'll be stuck with the taste of sweet foods forever, it'll wear off in 3 hours! You can also end it earlier with our Anti-Miracle Berry tablets that will cancel the effect earlier!"
Interested, Link watched the commercial along with the kids. It seems to pique his mind just because of the annoying Toad, which amused him.
"This will make a great present for Ilia or Malon back home" Link thought.
"Call now to get the original Miracle Berry Tablets with long lasting sweetness than any other competitor for only twenty Smash Dollars! As a special gift, we'll also include a coupon book for free sour and bitter food, free! It comes with fifty pages of coupons that you can give to a cashier at any supermarket! Imagine not having to pay any money to continue this hobby!"
"I'm buying more for Zelda, Saria, Midna the Sages and Ruto!" yelled Link. "Oh, screw you scumbag brain."
"But to make this the best deal on TV, we'll double the offer! You'll get a second pack of Miracle Berry Tablets and a second book of coupons; just pay separate shipping and handling fees!"
Mario and Fox overheard the commercial and fought over control for the phone. They wanted tablets to give out as gifts to friends and family back in the Mushroom Kingdom and in Corneria, respectively.
"This means you get two of the original Miracle Berry Tablets and two of the coupon books for only twenty Smash Dollars! Here's how to order!"
On an animated blue screen, websites and phone numbers appeared while a video of Kumatora trying out the lemon replayed. Babbling of some random fine print was heard, but the only thing that the kids heard is that each packet comes with 24 tablets.
Mario managed to grab the phone, dialed the number to the Miracle Berry Tablet seller and ran off, stealing Toon Link's Bunny Hood in the process.
"Hey!" cried Toon Link.
After the commercial, the show returned back.
Marth is sitting on an office chair in front of around twenty small televisions with security footage of different rooms. Some of the footage seen on the televisions were funny like Princess Peach whacking Mario with a frying pan, Ike and Lyn making out publicly in the hallways or Wolf getting chased out of the girl's bathroom.
"Hello everyone. Marth here and we're at the security camera room like I said. We managed to get some footage of Mewtwo, Captain Falcon and Master Hand, and we're broadcasting it to you. We'll see you after the footage
The scene faded to black and the footage played. The footage of Master Hand confronting Marth played, boring the viewers. But after Marth escaped, the real story began.
"Now we got Marth sorted out, let's get back to your contract thing." said Master Hand. "You'll get some cool revamps to your clothes and skills, and we'll even make you more original by changing Ganondorf's moves or replacing him with that Vaati guy or that Ghirahim guy too!"
Master Hand telepathically moved the contract and a golden ballpoint pen onto Captain Falcon's hands. He started reading it.
"Douglas, what are you doing?" asked Master Hand.
"Reading the contract." replied Captain Falcon.
"What? Why?" questioned Master Hand suspiciously.
"Who signs a contract without reading it? I don't want to risk any dangers that might be hidden in the contract." argued Captain Falcon.
This frustrated Master Hand. He pointed his gloved finger at Captain Falcon.
"Now." Master Hand commanded.
"Bvvvvvvh" went Mewtwo's eyes. It's evil eyes glowed a mysterious purple.
Meanwhile back at the TV room:
The Ice climbers ran into Peach's arms, frightened by Mewtwo's scary eyes.
"Peach, we're scared!" cried the Ice Climbers as they hid their face into Peach's dress. Their tears stained Peach's dress.
"What's your problem? It's only Mewtwo's eyes." complained Toon Link.
"There, There. You can stay with me until that scary Pokemon disappears." said Peach in a loving voice. She also petted the Ice Climbers and gave them some sugar cookies that she recently baked.
Mewtwo's piercing gaze struck Captain Falcon and his eyes also turned purple too.
"Scribble, Scribble." went the gold ballpoint pen.
The contract telepathically moved to Master Hand's desk on its own, piling on the other contracts that were already signed thanks to Mewtwo's brainwashing. The names on the already signed contracts were from Meta Knight, Ness, Bowser and Snake.
"Thank you Douglas, you may leave." said Master Hand.
Captain Falcon left the room. Master Hand summoned Peach to his room and Mewtwo did that to her too. The rest of the security footage consisted of Master Hand using Mewtwo to brainwash them into joining the fourth tournament. The only people who managed to resist the brainwashing were Wolf, Ike, Lucario, Ganondorf, and Red. While Red accepted his contract renewal (on the condition that he uses Tepig, Serperior and Dewott in the next tournament and changes his clothes), Wolf, Ike and Lucario resisted the signing and left before Master Hand could order Mewtwo to brainwash them again. As for Ganondorf, he also couldn't be brainwashed due to his Triforce of Power, but he stunned both Mewtwo and Master Hand with his magic so he can get away.
The scene faded to black and the scene cut back to Marth in the security room. Without saying a word, he pulled out his contract from the third tournament and read it in front of the camera.
"It looks like we're right. Master Hand only did that to get the Smashers he wanted to join the Brawl Tournament. I also found records of Roy and Mewtwo going to be in the tournament. It said that Mewtwo was the first person to sign the contract for the Brawl Tournament, but he declined. So instead of harassing him to be in Brawl, Mewtwo was offered to brainwash every Melee Smasher to be in Brawl and almost every Brawl Smasher to be in the fourth tournament." concluded Marth. "We're not sure about why Roy was cut out and replaced with Ike." he continued.
"Mewtwo attempted to brainwash me, but it failed. I faked being brainwashed and signed the contract, because I can't afford a plane ticket back to Altea, despite being rich. My money is back in Altea, making me a poor little rich boy here in Smashville. To keep it a secret, we will not show any teaser trailers."
Meanwhile:
"Awww…" whined the kids. They got up to order a pepperoni pizza from the nearby pizzeria, while the credits rolled.
"Finally." said Link. "I can watch that Miracle Berry Tablet commercial to get the order details again."
Link sat on the couch, hogging all the space the couch has to offer and tuned into the Miracle Berry Tablet commercial.
This story is inspired by chapter 15 of Dear Fanfiction by JazzHearts, while this chapter is slightly based on AwkwardZombie's comic "The One Where Roy Comes Back (Part 5)"
The part when Wolf, Lucario, Ganondorf, and Ike refused to renew their contract is based on rumors that they won't return to Super Smash Bros 4.
The Miracle Berry Tablet commercial is a combination of the original Miracle Berry Tablet commercial and your average Billy Mays commercial.
