The Events! Part 6; Challenger?
A/N: This has been retyped, the old authors notes were just me explaining how I'm dropping the handicap thingy, feeling sad that I had no reviews and thought no one was reading and telling my reason for not updating. (Back then it actually wasn't laziness, I used to type this on my laggy Netbook... ten minutes to open Word...)
^The Fountain^
"So…" Fox starts while we all (but Samus) sit on the edge of the fountain in silence.
"What?" Bowser snapped.
"How'd you think we get back with the others?" Fox asked.
"Probably dead." Zelda says, she had decided to stay.
"Why do you think that?" Bowser asked looking at her.
"That Nic guy doesn't seem right…" Zelda says.
"Greetings!" An annoying voice says loudly, Omochao then lands down onto the ground near the fountain. "Because you four were away the others have arrived at the mansion safely and have completed two events without you. My master wants you to know this and also wants you four to try attempting some… or just send me away leaving it all up to the others who with Link's idea have decided to only send the weakest into missions," Omochao says.
"Stupid Link!" Zelda says angrily.
"Wouldn't have caused any harm since they beat two missions," Fox says shrugging.
"Who were used?" Bowser asked.
"Nana, Popo and Ness," Omochao says.
"The young kids?" Bowser says slightly confused at Link's 'method'.
"Now, the two missions available are called 'Pokémon Battle' and 'Hot Date On Brinstar'," Omochao says.
"Brinstar..." Samus mumbled.
"I'll try the first," Fox says quickly.
"Why do you always instantly say that?" Bowser asked annoyed.
"Cool it, if you want to lunge blindly into a mission without knowing about it you go ahead, just don't stop me from doing that," Fox says.
"In this event you are against a level four intelligence Pikachu, you must use Pokémon to fight each other! You both have two chances," Omochao says.
"Alright Bowser, go ahead," Fox says.
"Huh!? I was only asking why did you always say you'll… oh never mind! I'll do it!" Bowser says and the five of them all vanish... After they did the Fountain bubbled and something covered in Black Fur walked out of it...
"Well now isn't this a surprise?" The Black Furred being says before sprinting away...
(Bowser)
I appear on a small area, there were tiny floating platforms floating above the left and right sides of the large platform. I look at the yellow rodent thingy as it ran passed me and jumped onto the platform above me.
I slam my fist upwards and hit something metal, a red and white orb thing flew into the air and fell down in front of me.
"What is this?" I ask looking out of the glass boundaries at the others.
"You probably have to break it open!" Fox yelled. Pikachu grabbed it so I slam my fist into it, the metal thing didn't break but it slammed into Pikachu's head dazing the rodent thingy. I grab the orb and throw it at Pikachu. It bounced off it's yellow fur and landed on the ground opening, a red and white orb creature appeared. The thing started to glow so I punch it, it flew into Pikachu and exploded. The small creature flew through the air and into the red mist.
I watch it reappear and it landed down near me, it ran to a red orb and grabbed it, it then threw it off the area and into the red mist where it vanished.
"Hurry up Bowser!" Zelda impatiently snapped.
"Why?" I yell as a red orb lands in front of me. I stomp down onto it but it exploded from the force of my stomp and sent me flying up into the red mist above the stage. (Can't be bothered typing 'large platform with two smaller…)
I reappear and land down near Pikachu, it grabbed a orb so I snatched it away and throw the orb at its furry face. Pikachu was knocked back a bit and a weird polygonal creature appeared, it flew forward into Pikachu and the yellow rodent was sent flying away into the red mist... everything vanished and I then reappeared… somewhere?
^Unknown Throne Room^
I was in a large room and there was a gigantic version of me standing in front of me.
"Bowser," A voice says from behind the gigantic me.
"Who are you!?" I ask stepping forward, after I did someone rushed towards me covered in purple flames and grabbed my throat, they then held me up into the air.
"Release him!" The voice behind the big me ordered. Some really ugly and mean looking guy lets go of my neck. "It would be wise to stay still," The voice says.
"Why is there a huge me here!?" I yell.
"Giga? Oh he is one of my bodyguards, now Bowser, because you completed Pokémon Battle you have allowed you and the others to challenge a clone of someone who was… not freed, if you win against the clone of said person they will be freed and able to help you and the others attempt the events, now I will send you back to the others, tell them what I have told you and then tell Omochao that you wish to challenge… the first challenger!" The voice says.
"Show yourself and I will!" I order.
"Very well!" The voice says, the ugly guy nods his head and walked to me, the person behind the huge me must have gave him a signal to do something. He grabbed my head and put a blindfold over my eyes. "Giga, move aside!" The voice says. I heard loud bangs that must have been 'Giga' moving. "Here I am! Now go!" The voice says slightly angry and I reappear at the fountain without the blindfold.
^Back with the others^
"Hey Bowser! Where did you go?" Fox asked.
"The water was bubbling the whole time… now it has calmed down," Samus says looking at me through her visor.
"I spoke with the top dog, the master, the one who is making us do this stuff," I say.
"And?" Zelda asked not interested.
"He says because I have completed a certain mission I can fight a clone of someone still trapped… and if I win they will be able to help us," I say.
"Seems like a trick." Zelda says.
"I doubt that, but the whole idea of these missions does," Samus says looking back at the fountain.
"Why would the water bubble?" I ask.
"It must be the link between our location and the airship," Samus says.
"What now?" I ask.
"I believe she means we are in some sort of dimension," Fox says.
"Kind of, but we could just be in some remote location, like a planet in the Dasha region," Samus says.
"What!?" I ask annoyed.
"They mean we aren't onboard the airship," Zelda says with a sigh.
"I got that! I meant what is the Dasha Region!" I yell.
"Probably a space region," Fox says.
"Correct," Samus says not looking away from the normal looking fountain.
"Maybe that's why Ganondorf wants us to quickly beat mission thirty, but if he was like us he should be unconscious," Zelda says.
"What does this guy look like?" I ask.
"Ugly, red hair, long nose, very muscular, wears dark coloured armour and is usually frowning," Zelda says mentally picturing Ganondorf.
"Well… when I was with that leader guy, he had a guard that looked like me but huge… and a guy who looked like what you said… only smiling…" I say.
^The Mansion^
(Mario)
I sat in my room looking out the window at the black sky… there was never any stars, or the moon, and at day there wasn't a sun… no clouds either.
"…Mar…re…o…" A zombie sounding voice says slowly. I look at the closed door worriedly. "…help…me…" The voice says.
^A lot later - Back with the fountain group^
Omochao flew over to the four again, "Ready for the next mission?" The robotic Chao asked.
"Wait!" Bowser says, "I wish to fight the first challenger!" Bowser says nodding. The robot's eyes then change to complete red circles and Bowser vanished alone…
^2D Pokémon Stadium^
(Bowser)
I appear back at the stage from the event and saw a smaller version of Pikachu running towards me. It stopped in front of me and fired a small spark at me from it's cheeks, I felt the electricity zap my leg so I jumped back. It moved closer so I whacked it away, it then ran back to me and zapped at me again with amazing speed. I jump onto the platform above to avoid getting electrocuted. There was a flash of light and an arc of lightning stuck down onto me from some storm clouds above... I screamed out in pain and hopped off the platform and look at the yellow beast with anger. I run to it while breathing fire and it's yellow fur lit alight. I swipe at it and held it in my claws while I breathed fire at its face.
I stop breathing fire once it's fur had burnt off completely. It was trying to squirm out of my grip but I held tighter. I open my mouth and slam the thing into it. I slammed my teeth shut crushing the creature and I chewed and chewed, every time I chewed I heard the crunch of its bones.
After hearing no more snaps I spit it out and stomped onto it's lifeless, mangled, deformed and pink body. I then push it into the red mist...
I appear back at the fountain and Fox looked at me. "What happened to you? You have blood all over your mouth?"
"I ate the clone!" I say and Zelda stared at me mouth open.
"That… could you have… fought another way?" Fox asked shocked, a flash of light caught my eye and we look at a small yellow thing appear, Samus quickly aimed at it with her arm cannon.
"You again!" I roar stomping to it.
"Wait! This is probably the real one!" Zelda says and Bowser stopped.
"Great, another Pick speaking thing!" Fox says sarcastically.
"Pick speaking thing? Why what a strange name given from a weird Fox," The creature says in pure English.
"You speak?" Fox asked eyes widened with shock.
"Why of course, what would suggest otherwise?" It asked.
"Uh… never mind," Fox says quietly.
"That aside, my name is Mason," Mason says.
"Do you five wish to regroup with the others?" Omochao asked.
"No," Samus says almost instantly.
"Ignore her, I do!" Zelda says and starts mumbling to herself about what Link has probably done.
"Sure, they need us," Fox says.
"I'll stay with Samus, just in case something happens here," I say.
"I'll stand guard of my saviour!" Mason says hopping closer to me.
"Bye Bowser, I'll let the others know about how you three are doing," Fox says and held out his hand for a shake.
"I'll tell them that you and some rat stayed to keep the possible traitor from doing anything," Zelda says eyeing Samus.
I reach out and grip Fox's hand tightly, causing his eyes to bulge in pain. I then shake up and down quickly and hardly, making sure to keep my grip really tight. "May we eventually meet again," I say smirking as I let go.
"Uh… yeah," Fox says backing off as he shook his pained hand. Omochao then looked at the two and all three of them vanished.
"You two didn't have to stay," Samus says looking at the fountain.
"I just wanted to wait till the easy stuff is passed so I don't have to put up with people losing the easiest events," I say.
"I'll go wherever my saviour goes!" The smaller Pikachu says.
"O…key…" I say slightly freaked out.
^At that same moment - The Mansion^
"Is this to your liking young master?" Keith asks while holding out a tray filled with fish.
"Hmm… are these raw?" Link asked looking at the obviously cooked Fish.
"No, they have been cooked," Keith says politely.
"I don't want em, I like fish raw," Link says.
"LINK! Just accept something!" Donkey Kong yells, annoyed since Link was second last to be served and because he wanted something else for dinner Donkey Kong had to wait... since he was last.
"Forgive me sir, would you like me to get a new batch?" Keith asked Link nicely.
"Nah, I like fish better cooked," Link says taking the tray instead of just the plate with the fish.
"Now was it Bananas you wanted?" Keith asked DK.
"Yes," Donkey Kong says annoyed.
"WE'RE BACK!" Fox yelled barging into the room, causing Nana, Popo and Ness to jump in shock.
"Fox? Oh and Zelda!" Link says just seeing Zelda.
"Greetings comrades! How was your stay away?" DK asked.
"Probably boring… Yoshi!" Yoshi says while eating his food (eggs… Yoshi eggs).
"Where's Bowser and metal suit girl?" Captain Falcon asked while he sat with an empty plate in front of him.
"They stayed behind," Zelda says taking a seat next to Link, which wasn't that hard since no one was sitting even two chairs from him.
"Hello there, my name is Keith Bellic and I am your personnel butler," Keith says to Fox and Zelda.
"Attention everyone!" An unknown voice says. Everyone looked over at Nic Os has he stood against a wall with his hands behind his back.
"Hey Nicky!" Link yelled waving.
"What do you want?" Zelda asked glaring at him.
"My masters request me to inform you lot of stuff," Nic Os says.
"What-ta stuff?" Mario asked.
"Is it about the lack of activities here?" Nana says.
"Yeah! Because we haven't seen any TVs around here!" Popo says.
"Silence!" Nic Os yelled sounding slightly different. "Now, as you should know, you do not have access to the events all the time, it is whenever Omochao asks for competitors that you have access, now seeing as my masters are nice they have granted you lot with the responsibility to have… stuff in the mansion."
"Like what?" Kirby asked.
"Access to television, games and whatnot, but this comes at a price!" Nic says.
"If it's too risky don't risk it!" Fox says still standing.
"And what if that means we don't get entertainment?" Peach asked.
"Then you'll have to get used to living like a normal non-princess-y person!" Fox says glaring at the princess.
"Silence!" Nic yelled. "Now, the price is that you allow my masters to keep… the place guarded," Nic says with a fake smile.
"By whom?" Zelda asked.
"By guards of course," Link says.
"Will they be dressed nicely?" Popo asked while Nana nodded at his comment.
"NO! They will be guards for our staff… I mean the staff! My masters want them to feel safer!" Nic says angrily.
"Wait… you have staff at this place?" Kirby asked.
"Yeah, if they didn't the rooms wouldn't be so clean," Ness says.
"Pika, Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika!" Pikachu says. [Yeah, and there would not be any already cooked food!]
"Just… don't speak… it hurts my head trying to think of what you could possibly be saying…" Link says.
"Anything you have to think about would hurt your head," Zelda snapped.
"Sooo…" Nic says ignoring Zelda and Link, "Do you accept?" He asked with a sly smirk.
"I guess so, because those guards would only attack if we do something wrong," Ness says.
"Ness, you're too young to decide these huge decisions… now, I think we should accept because the guards would only attack if we do something wrong!" Link says.
"But what would be… wrong?" Captain Falcon asked suspiciously.
"Attacking staff, each other and the mansion," Nic says.
"I say yes!" DK says.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu says. [Me too!]
"I guess so…" Fox says scratching the back of his head.
"I agree, it may give some entertainment…" Kirby says while thinking of fire-related things.
"Sure," Mario says.
"Fine! But I doubt this will end well!" Zelda says. Nic Os then smiled an evil smile, he flicked his arms out and a purple light enveloped him, after the light dispersed he was gone.
^That Night - The Mansion^
Kirby couldn't believe it, the once amazing mansion was now like a prison, from outside his window Kirby could see two clones of Link guarding the entrance to the mansion, and he doubted that they were guarding the insides of the mansion. It was probably midnight, if the clock was correct, but Kirby didn't sleep. Every couple of minutes he would hear footsteps pace by his door. Kirby looked at the tall mirror, it didn't show his reflection because he wasn't in front of it, but something else was in the mirror? Kirby jumped up off the window sill and walked to the mirror. A blurry, humanoid figure was in it.
"help me…" A drawn out groan sounding voice says. Kirby just pulled out his hammer and smashed the mirror, glass shards burst out all over the floor near him. Kirby turned around and hopped up onto the bed.
(Mario)
Footsteps… more footsteps…
A groaning noise comes from the room next to Mario.
"Please be someone snoring," I silently prayed... a loud sound echoed from the room next door, it sounded like glass breaking! "I don't like it here," I mutter to myself.
^At the generator core of the Airship^
I large person stood staring at the glowing core at the base of the airship, the person was wearing a dark space helmet only transparent on one side and completely black on the other, they had a dull red space suit with many pockets.
'This seems to be the right place, wonder why it's not guarded?'
The suited person walks over to a control panel near the glowing core. There was a panel covered in buttons but there was also a cyan coloured switch at the edge of the control panel.
"Hunter stop!" A loud voice boomed and Master Hand flew over. The Hunter spun around and saw the huge hand, who was flying quickly over to stop him. The Hunter quickly planted an EMP grenade on the control panel and pressed a few coloured buttons on a dial across his left arm. The Hunter quickly became transparent and then gone. Shortly after his teleportation the EMP grenade went off…
A/N: Now that the first hidden character has been acquired I can start up the longer chapters, which will have more plot then just two missions and short talks.
But first, a brief rundown of what has happened so far:
Mario, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Link, Zelda, Captain Falcon, Ness, Kirby, Nana, Popo, Samus, Pikachu, Fox and Donkey Kong have been kidnapped by two giant hands called Master and Crazy Hand. Said people were captured and cloned, until Captain Falcon made a deal with the true master of the two hands, the deal was that they were granted freedom if they bet a series of challenges. But with only ten goes on a challenge per person things start to get tough… and then some people start getting visions… As a new foe emerges from deep in the airship, things start to get deadly for the captured people… but is he really a foe or is he just a hero trying to help them?
New A/N: After this chapter keep a keen eye out for secrets, retyping this chapter I have noticed that I was quite deceptive, I had obvious references to upcoming things and small little hidden details, like "...masters...'
