Mystery-guy: Are the 8 weapons now in the hands of the Smashers?
Game2002: No, only two of the weapons, the Durandal and the Binding Blade, are in the Smashers hand. In fact, the other 6 are not the Holy Weapons created by the Hands. Durandal and Binding Blade were created by the Hands and then Roland and Hartmut were the first ones to wield those before they both fell into the hands of Marth and Roy respectively.

SlashMask: Did Cackletta and Fawful appear in any of your previous stories?
Game2002: No, this story is their first appearance.

There was a mistake in the first chapter about the number of Smashers. It should be 18, not 19.

Also, there's an author called Zero-Matter who I have given right to write SSB stories in my SSB universe. He currently has one story entitled The Great Robot Smash Bros., but it has just started so I cannot tell whether or not it is good. Even though he uses my universe and characters, that story will not be considered canon.

Chapter 3
The Spirit of the Cruncher is mine! I will use it for my evil plans!


"If there are no more questions regarding this," the guide told the class, "we will have to leave here because we cannot let people stay around here for too long."

Kazumi raised her hand and said, "I have one!"

"Yes, what is it?"

"I was wondering… If this thing is supposedly very dangerous, why is it placed here for people to see it like an attraction? Isn't there any fear that the spirit may someday escape its container?"

"That's a good question. Currently there are no fear that the spirit will escape from its container because the container is indestructible. Some people have tested it before and claimed that this container is as hard as diamond. Also, it is said that the spirit must reunite with the body in order for the Cruncher to become a threat once more. As of now, nobody knows where the original body is. Professional mages were hired to transport the body away using transportation magic and it has never been seen or heard of by anyone ever since. So long as the spirit and the body does not reunite, there will be no harm. That is why it was decided that it is all right to display the spirit here. Plus, security is very strong here. The glass is made from the hardest kind and there is another layer of powerful magical barrier that can only be broken by extremely advanced magic, and it is set up by some of the best mages in this country. Throughout all these years, nobody has been able to steal the container and revive the Cruncher, so we have no fear of anything bad happening any time."

-

After they were done, Class 3-A were walking up the staircase to reach the surface once again. "Wow! That was a surprise to hear!" Chamo said, "Never thought that your ancestors would be the one to defeat a giant monster that terrorized this country!"

"Yeah, I was really surprised about this," Negi said. "I've only known that my family had been mages since the beginning, but not this. I feel so proud of this!"

Behind him, the girls were all talking about how great Negi's ancestors. "Wow! Negi's great grandparents were sure cool!" Sakurako said.

"His ancestor must be a very strong man!" Misa said.

"No wonder Negi sensei himself is very good at fighting too!!" Fuuka said.

-

Back down there, the elderly woman and the little kid were still looking at the Spirit of the Cruncher and a guard walked up to them saying, "I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave now. We cannot allow tourists to stay here for too long."

"Oh, I'm sorry," the old woman, who is actually Cackletta, said. "But I would like to take bring along something with me out of here first."

"What is it?"

The old woman raised his hand and suddenly a burst of lightning came out from her hand and blasted the guard across the place.

BANG!

"YEOW!"

"That would the Spirit of the Crunche! Yahahaha!" Cackletta laughed. She immediately stripped herself of her disguise and the little kid did the same to reveal himself as Fawful. "Time to get busy, Fawful!"

Fawful used his headgear that he had been wearing the whole time to take flight and fly to the higher part of the glass and he got out a square mechanical device and planted it on the glass. After pressing a button on the glass, the machine let off a vibration that traveled across the surface of the glass, and then suddenly, the entire glass cracked and shattered into pieces.

"Now for the magical barrier!" Cackletta said, "Time to let people know how good my skills in magic are!" She approached the altar but a reddish barrier appeared before her eyes when she was near, so she lifted her right hand which was covered in magical aura and placed it against the surface of the barrier and chanted some incantations that even I don't know how to spell. Glowing lines came out from the part of the barrier that she was touching and traveled all throughout it, and then a few seconds later, the barrier started flickering and eventually faded into nothing. "Geheh! This level of magical barrier is nothing for me!"

The guard who was shot back got up groggily and quickly reached into his walkie-talkie to contact the others. "We have an intruder here! Calling for reinforcement!"

The mouthpiece that was on Fawful's headgear extended towards the container of the spirit. You might be saying to yourself that a solid, round container could never be sucked inside a mouthpiece similar to a vacuum cleaner's, but in reality, the container started to distort and become gaseous when the mouthpiece began sucking it in, and eventually, the container was 'turned into air' and was then absorbed into the mouthpiece and traveled all the way into the glass container of Fawful's headgear where it took a miniature form inside it.

The moment the container disappeared, the alarm went off and bars came down all around the altar the container was on, but Fawful never went in there in the first place and the space between the bars was big enough for the mouthpiece to come out and return to the headgear. "The retrieval of the Spirit of the Cruncher is of big success, O Great Cackletta!" Fawful said.

"Excellent work, Fawful!" Cackletta said. "Now let's beat it before things get too annoying!"

They both turned to the stairs and saw a number of guards with guns running into the room. "Leave the container here and hands up at once!" they shouted.

Of course, a villain would never listen to the guards. Cackletta swiped her arm across the air and released a bolt of thunder in the shape of a crescent and easily knocked away all the guards, and they fled towards the staircase and up it.

-

Upstairs, the alarm had went off and the guards were all rushing for the staircase leading to the lower floor and most of the tourists were panicking at what was happening. "Someone has stolen the Spirit of the Cruncher!" one of the guards shouted. "We mustn't let the thief escape!"

"Someone stole that big metal ball? That's horrible!" Konoka gasped. "I hope the guards can stop the thief from running."

"Um… So what should we do?" Asuna asked Negi. "It doesn't really have anything to do with us…"

"No… I must stop the thief!" Negi said. "It's something that my ancestor fought hard to bring down, so I can't simply run away and pretend nothing happened when something bad is happening in front of my eyes!"

Suddenly, an explosion came out from the door and the guards were all blown away, and from the midst of the explosion, Cackletta and Fawful came rushing out as fast as they could. "They're running away!" one of the injured guards shouted.

"Geheheh! Nobody is stopping us!" Cackletta said.

Class 3-A happened to be in the way of Cackletta's running and Negi stood in front of them and shouted, "Hey you! Put down what you stole at once!"

"Beat it, brat! I've got no time to play with you!" Cackletta shouted. She pointed her hand at him and shot out a thunderbolt.

"What?!" Negi quickly leaped out of the way and was surprised at what he saw just now. "That was magic!"

"Heheheh!" Cackletta and Fawful ran past them and made their way for the exit, but suddenly, Kotaro appeared in front of them in a blink of an eye and a swing of his fist, both Cackletta and Fawful were blown back to the floor. "Ow!"

Kotaro landed onto the floor and got into fighting stance and said, "If you think you can get away this easily, think twice!"

"Brat! If you get in my way, I'll kill you!" Cackletta shouted. She launched another thunderbolt at him but he easily avoided it. "Hmph! Looks like you have some skills there!"

Kotaro turned to Negi to said, "You take the girls out of here first! I'll deal with this hag!"

"Will you be all right?" Negi said to him.

"C'mon! You know that I will definitely be all right!"

"All right, I'll come back to aid you after I get everyone on the bus," Negi said. He turned to the girls and told them to get out of here first. At the same, the visitors of the museum were all panicking and running out of the place to avoid getting caught in this chaos.

-

Meanwhile, the Smashers' bus had been fixed and was on its way to the museum. "Now that the bus has been fixed…" Gyde said.

"Thanks to Captain Falcon!" Pichu interrupted.

"Sorry, but Pichu has a habit of interrupting people," Pikachu said.

"That's nothing big, heheh!" Gyde said with a smile. "So anyway, now that bus is fixed…"

"Captain Falcon is good at fixing vehicles, isn't he?" Pichu interrupted.

"If you know how to drive, you must at least know the basics of fixing a car," CF said.

"So, the bus is fixed and is now heading…" Gyde continued.

"How far is the museum from here?" Pichu interrupted again.

"We can reach there in about ten minutes," Gyde told him. "So…"

"Is this assuming that there is no traffic jam or yes?"

"Well… Going at this current speed, you can be there at 10 minutes… So… Once we are at the museum…"

"Hey, there's a car accident there!" Dedede said, and everyone immediately turned to the direction Dedede was looking at to look at the car accident.

"Thank you all for taking your time to listen to me… Hahaha…" Gyde said with tears flowing down his eyes and a smile on his face. He gave up trying to finish what he wanted to say in the first place.

-

The girls had all returned into the bus and Negi said to them, "You all stay here. I will go back to help Kotaro. Don't come down okay? It's dangerous."

"Please be careful, Negi sensei!" Nodoka said to him.

"Don't worry; I will!" As he turned to leave, Asuna and Setsuna both called out to him.

"Hey brat! You're not going there all by yourself, are you?" Asuna said to him. "Don't forget that I'm your partner, so I'm tagging along with you!"

"I'm going to help you too, Negi sensei!" Setsuna said, taking her sword along.

"Okay then, the more help the better!" Negi said, and the group of three quickly ran in the direction of the museum while the other girls called for them to be careful.

"Please come back alive, Negi sensei!" Ayaka shouted.

Chachamaru turned to Eva to ask her, "Master, do you not want to lend a hand on Negi sensei on this?"

Eva rested back on her seat and laid her head against her arms saying, "Nah, that brat isn't weak to the point that he needs my help in anything. He can deal with this small business by himself."

-

Within the museum, Kotaro dashed around at a blinding speed and managed to avoid every single magical blast from Cackletta. "You're annoying! Stand still!" Cackletta shouted.

"How about you try practicing your aim instead?" Kotaro taunted.

"You'll regret saying this! Fawful!"

"Yes, O Great Cackletta!" Fawful replied. He reached into his cloak and got out a small yellow box. It opened up and a jack-in-the-box came out and its mouth opened to release a large amount of smoke despite its size.

The smoke traveled throughout the place fast and easily blotted out the place, making it impossible to see. "Ha! You think you can obstruct my view? Sorry, but for dog demons like me, smell is more important than… Ugh..." He quickly closed his nose and complained that the smell of the smoke was awful. "What is… this…?"

"Heheheh! It is the smelliness of an egg salad and garlic sandwich dipped in water and then left in dark soggy place for 3 weeks!" Fawful said. Both he and Cackletta had gas masks on that not only allowed them to breath properly, but also allowed them to see through the smoke.

This gave Cackletta the upper hand and she launched a thunderbolt and blasted Kotaro backwards a bit. She suddenly leaped at him at a fast speed and delivered a hand swipe filled with magic and smashed him across the place. He crashed into the leg of a T-Rex skeleton and knocked it off. The skeleton was beginning to fall from missing one leg, but Kotaro quickly got up and placed the fallen bone leg back in place and it didn't fall, so he sighed with relief. "That was close…" he said. When the smoke disappeared, he didn't see both the villain, but he saw them rushing towards the exit. "Hey you!"

"We don't have time to be messing with you!" Cackletta said. The moment they stepped outside however, they were instantly confronted by Negi, Asuna, and Setsuna.

"You're not going anywhere!" Negi said, pointing his staff at her. "Put back what you've stolen at once!"

"Tsk! What is it with kids getting in my way today?!" Cackletta growled. She Turned around and saw that Kotaro was already behind her.

"End of the line for you, you hag!" he said.

"Shall I use this smelliness again, O Great Cackletta?" Fawful asked, holding up the box. Right when it was about to open, Kotaro suddenly rushed in front of him and a swipe of his hand, he knocked the box away. "Ya!"

"You're not using that again!" he said.

"Insolence!" Cackletta pointed her hand at him and launched a quick blast but he quickly leaped to avoid it. "You brats aren't going to stop me here!" She spread open her cloak and then a swarm of bats with her face came flying out and started to fill up the place to blot the scene.

"What the?! Bats!" Asuna cried.

The bats flew all around them and started to harass them. Negi quickly brought up his staff and chanted an incantation, and then a powerful gust of wind was formed around him and it instantly blew the bats all away, much to Cackletta's surprise.

"Eh? So you know magic as well, kid," Cackletta said. "And I thought you were some ordinary snot-nosed brat. No wonder you had the guts to stand up to me! What is your name, kid?"

The wind magic stopped and Negi replied to her, "Negi Springfield, and I will not allow you to steal the thing that my ancestor fought so hard to bring down! Put it right back to where it belong now!"

When Cackletta heard this, she lifted an eyebrow and asked again, "What? Your last name is Springfield?"

"Yes, so what's about it?"

Cackletta started cackling to herself in delight for some reason. "Geheheheh! I see! Very interesting! To think I didn't have to put up any effort looking for someone like you!"

"So what do we do now, O Great Cackletta?" Fawful asked her.

"This is the golden opportunity! I will not allow him to escape my grasp!" Cackletta said. "You're coming with me, Mr. Springfield!"

"Hey! Why should Negi sensei come with you?" Asuna ask. "I will not allow you to take him away!"

"Shut up!" Cackletta launched a thunderbolt at her but much to her surprise, Asuna displayed amazing agility and jumped out of the way.

"Adeat!" She got out a card and then in a flash, the card transformed into something that resembled a paper fan and she ran up to Cackletta and swung it. The evil sorceress quickly pulled her cloak in front of herself and used it as a shield to block the blow. Despite being cloth, it managed to block the attack. "What?!"

"You're no ordinary girl," Cackletta said. "Such an interesting bunch of people I've met today! But the fun has come too far! Time to end this!"

Both Cackletta and Fawful quickly took off into the air and landed on top of the museum roof and then she reached into her cloak and got out a small round egg-shaped thing. "Is it time to use this, O Great Cackletta?" Fawful asked.

"Go on and nurture it," she told him, and thus Fawful got out a pail of water out of nowhere and started watering the egg-shaped thing.

"What are they doing?" Setsuna wondered.

When done watering, Cackletta picked up the egg-shaped thing and then flung it across the air and it landed behind them. They turned around to look at the egg-shaped thing that begun to shake and tremble. Slowly, the egg grew in size and when it was about the size of a football, cracks appeared all over it and light poured from the cracks. Immediately, the egg-shaped thing burst open and bright light came out and slowly, a large (and somewhat fat) green dinosaur materialized. "What the heck?!" Asuna gasped.

"Is this summoning magic?!" Negi asked.

"This is an artificial monster created using the combination of science and magic!" Cackletta replied. "Now all of you will get flattened by Dragohoho! Geheheh!"

The large dinosaur let out a roar and then took a stomp forward and glared at them, and the students took a step back in fear. "You think this giant lizard is going to scare me?" Kotaro said. "Wait till I beat the daylights out of him and see!"

Dragohoho took a deep breath and expanded its cheek before shooting out a large piece of rock in their direction. Setsuna quickly drew her sword and with a single slash, sliced the rock into two pieces, and then she dashed at the dinosaur at a blinding speed and went past it, leaving behind a slash mark that went from the front of its body to the left side. The dinosaur yelled in pain and then turned to glare at the young swordswoman angrily. "You want some more?" she said in a threatening tone.

"Hey, what's the big show here?" said a voice. Everyone turned to the side and then saw the Smashers coming over in their direction.

"Hey look, a dinosaur!" Red said. "It looks so real!"

"Looks like some sort of show is put up here," Kirby said. "Looks fun!"

"Well, I didn't know this would be happening today!" Gyde said. "But why does it look like this place is so empty today?" He looked around the parking lot and saw that there were almost no cars at all, save for a bus parked on the far side.

Negi shouted to them, "You guys please careful! This isn't a show or anything! That dinosaur is real!"

"Real thing?" the Smashers said curiously, and they all eyed Dragohoho with awe.

"A real dinosaur? That's something you don't see everyday!" Yoshi said, forgetting that fact that he is a type of dinosaur himself.

"It doesn't matter who is here!" Cackletta said to Dragohoho. "Kill everyone that you see!"

Under her command, Dragohoho roared again and then walked in the direction of the Smashers. "You guys watch out!" Setsuna said to them. "I'll handle this!" The dinosaur suddenly slammed down its claw on Setsuna but she quickly leaped out of the way, and then the dinosaur immediately shot out a large piece of rock in the direction of the Smasher's afterwards. "Watch out!"

Meta-Knight appeared in front of everyone flew at the rock and then with a quick swing from his sword, the rock was sliced into pieces, much to the surprise of the students and the evil duo as well. "I'm not-a sure what's-a going on around-a here," Mario said. "But-a looks like-a theez thing eez danger to uz."

"So let's take it down then!" Captain Falcon said, cracking his fist.

Mario took a running start at Dragohoho who attacked by swinging its claw, but Mario leaped up really high into the air to avoid the hit and spun in midair like a tornado before dropping down and landing one foot onto the head of the dinosaur incredibly hard, so hard that the dinosaur's head was pushed down onto the ground. "Anniento Crush!"

CRASH!

Mario jumped off afterwards and then Captain Falcon, Marth, and Lucario all rushed at Dragohoho simultaneously. CF had his fist pulled back and charged with fire, Marth had his sword pulled back behind him, and Lucario had a bone made of blue aura in his hands.

"Falcon…"

"Shield…"

"Bone…"

Dragohoho lifted its head up and before it could tell what was happening, the three of them charged straight into it and delivered a powerful blow.

"Punch!"

"Breaker!"

"Rush!"

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!!!

The simultaneous hits sent the dinosaur soaring and spinning into the air and it was a feat that made Cackletta, Fawful, the students, and even Gyde drop their jaws in shock, as they could not believe how a massive dinosaur could be knocked into the air this high. Dragohoho crashed back down with a thud and created a crack that spread across the ground.

It was no match for the Smashers at all…

TO BE CONTINUED

Many of the magic spells in Negima are near impossible to memorize since they sound almost like gibberish unless you translate them, so sometimes I won't bring them up.

Also, for the Extra Shows, I will be putting down short stories about the other Smashers who did not come on this trip. This is to give those Smashers some screen time and role in this story as well as letting you know what they are up to while their friends are in Lycia.

GAME2002 EXTRA SHOW

Zelda walked into the garden and shouted out loud, "Kids! Come help clean the house!" There was no reply at all and she looked in every direction for signs of the kids. "They have to be here. I saw them frolicking around this place a few minutes ago. There is only one thing to do now."

She closed her nose and then got out Snake's sock that hadn't been washed for one week and then threw it at the nearest pile of bush. She kept her eyes on the bush and then a few seconds later, the kids came jumping out of the bush and fell onto the ground gasping for air due to the sock's smell being incredibly horrible. Zelda smiled and gave an 'OK' sign knowing that her plan worked.
