Okay, here's another chapter.
Just so that you know: Nintendo developed Super Smash Brothers and Fire Emblem.
Chapter VI: The Secret Cavern
Paula, Jeff, Poo, Ike, Link, Zelda, Mario, Peach, Lucas and Luigi went into Dr. Andonut's lab.
The old scientist was surprised"Sounds like there was quite a commotion, Jeff. Oh, and who might these folks be?"
"My name is Ike. The others with me are Zelda, Link, Peach, Lucas, Mario and Luigi" said the blue haired mercenary.
"The trouble outside has been dealt with. Our guests, aside from myself, Paula, Poo and Ness happen to be from another world" said Jeff.
"Well, it is good to see you, everyone. So what brings you here?" smiled the old scientist.
Paula replied"We heard there is an island somewhere between Winters and Summers."
Dr. Andonuts thought for a moment, then replied"Of course there is. Some kind of ruin is supposedly located there, but it's just a myth. I heard about it when I was about your age. But excuse my curiosity, where did you hear of it?"
"It's a long story" said Ike.
"Don't worry about it, I can handle sitting through a story of any length" reassured the old Scientist.
Ness teleported Pokey and himself to Onett and made his way to the blond's house.
When they got there, Ness rang the doorbell. A familiar woman answered"Yes? Oh, it's you, Ness. What do you want?"
Ness grabbed Pokey's arm and threw him in front. The now aged Pokey weakly spoke"hi."
"Hm! I don't recognize you" said the woman.
Pokey rolled his eyes"This is ridiculous, Ness. Time Travel aged me, how am I gonna explain it to my family?"
"I can fix it" said a voice, as Yune appeared.
"How?" said Pokey.
The Deity of Chaos merely cast a spell, Pokey's hair color and body began to glow. When the light dispersed, Pokey found himself returned to normal.
"So it is you, Pokey" said his mother.
Ness addressed Yune"Thanks."
"No thanks is required. But Ness, you should hurry back to the others, soon" said Yune.
Ness nodded, then turned to explain the situation to Pokey's parents.
Lardna was shocked"Oh my... Pokey, you're in big trouble now. Ness, I'm sorry he caused so much trouble, but this dosen't mean I forgive your family for leaving mine in poverty. I'd be happier if you left sometime."
Ness addressed Pokey"Good-bye old 'friend'."
"Yeah, whatever you say Pig's Butt" mumbled the blond.
Ness went back down the hill and teleported back to Winters after stopping at his house to say hello to his mother and sister.
Back at Dr. Andonut's lab, Ike finished explaining to Dr. Andonuts about the state of affairs in their world.
"Hm, that does explain what has happened recently. Anyway, Jeff and I built a new Skyrunner, but it's still only a prototype" said the old scientist.
"I understand, there is no guarantee it will not break, right?" said Paula.
"Exactly" said Dr. Andonuts.
Just then, Ness teleported in.
"How did it go?" said Paula.
"Great, so where are we headed now?" inquired the black haired teen.
Paula replied"There is a hidden island in the ocean of this world. It should take us to our next objective."
The heroes went to board the Skyrunner after saying good-bye to Dr. Andonuts.
The old scientist said"I will pray for your safety. Jeff, good luck."
Jeff nodded, then activated the new Skyrunner.
The machine then took off.
After sailing the sky for a bit, the group piloted the Skyrunner to the island and tried to land carefully.
But the Skyrunner crashed into bits as it collided with the small area.
"Guess there is no way to make a Skyrunner unbreakable" remarked Jeff.
Ike glanced to his right to see what looked like a row of pillars"Let's check it out."
"All right, let's go" said Ness.
The group proceeded towards what looked like a run-down temple.
"Hm, this looks like it was built a very long time ago" remarked Jeff.
"The entrance is up ahead, let's head in" said Poo.
They entered the ruin to find a stone statue at the end of the first room.
"Don't tell me we gotta go underground" griped Lucas.
"We'll get through this, you just have to be brave, Lucas. Ness, your Psi power should move the statue, right?" said Zelda.
"No problem. Psi Rockin!" cried Ness.
The Psi blast blew the statue apart, revealing some stairs leading downward.
As the heroes went down the stairs, they found themselves underground.
"So this is the hidden sanctuary which Yune mentioned" remarked Ness.
"All right, let's stay alert. We don't know what we may find down here" said Link.
The group proceeded through the damp cave until they ran into a group of Primids.
"So Subspace is not completely gone?" said Lucas.
"Psi Starstorm" Poo chanted. The spell blasted through the Primids.
Several Shadow soldiers appeared in the area in place of the fallen Primids.
"Enough of this" said Ike, shooting a barrage of magic blasts from Ragnell.
The enemies faltered and vanished from the attack, allowing the group to rush farther into the cave. At it's end, they came to a large chamber with an exit ahead.
"What were the Subspace remnants doing here, anyway?" gasped Ness.
"I don't know, but we should we go on" replied Ike.
"That's what you think" said a voice as the shadowing form of another figure appeared. Link was shocked"It can't be."
"Oh, but it is, Link" chuckled the figure.
A contigiment of Sword Primids and Shadow soldiers appeared around the enemy.
"You've got to be kidding" said Lucas.
The man smirked"Heh, my job is done. And this is not all what you'll be up against in this place."
"What do you mean?" inquired Zelda.
Dark Link replied"See for yourselves." Shadowy replicas of Link, Zelda, Ike, Lucas, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo appeared.
"Subspace couldn't stop us before. Bring it on you bad Sci-Fi movie rejects!" said Ness.
Dark Link shruggged"I care not what happens now, I'll see you all again if you survive."
Ness, Paula and Lucas cast their strongest Psi, eliminating the Shadow Soldiers.
Link, Ike and Poo duked it out with the Sword Primids.
Jeff's doppelganger attempted a Bottle Rocket attack at the real Jeff, only to be intercepted by a laser shot from the real Jeff Andonuts.
Poo defeated his opponent and sliced his doppelganger, only to be countered by Lucas's doppelganger.
"Psi Freeze!" Lucas froze his doppelganger in place, while Ness barely held off his clone with his Psi reserves nearly drained.
Link and his clone dueled until the real Link managed to disarm and stab his opponent.
The heroes were barely holding on against the onslaught.
"Where's the calvery when you really need it?" groaned Jeff.
"Psi Starstorm!"
The blast wiped out the other clones as three more people entered the fray.
Lucas recognized them"Claus? Duster? Princess Kumatora?"
"Thank us later, little brother" said Claus, blasting a group of Shadow Soldiers with Thunder.
Duster stood at the other man's side, while Kumatora shot another Starstorm blast, eliminating the rest of the enemies.
"Thanks, but what made you see sense, Claus?" inquired the blond.
The man addressed his brother"Someone called Paletuna revived me, and contacted Kumatora and Duster. We heard you were in danger, Lucas and came as quick as we could. But I cannot expect this to excuse my actions in your first quest."
After the group introduced each other to the newcomers and explanationed that followed, Claus shrugged"All right, Duster, Kumatora and I will join you, if that's acceptable."
"Why not? We can always use more help" said Ness.
The group made their way to the end of the cavern, where they came to a small stream of water. A mystic melody echoed throughout the room.
"If only I still had the Sound Stone" gasped Ness.
"We thought this would happen. Lady Paletuna told us to give you this when we were called upon to help with your journey" said Kumatora, handing over a familiar stone to Ness. The melodies of the other eight scantuaries echoed within and a warm light surrounded the group.
When it faded, Ness realized that the Sound Stone had been recreated and granted him and his allies even more power and vitality then before.
"I feel stronger, somehow" remarked Jeff.
"That must have been what Yune was talking about" said Ike.
"All right, let's head out of here" said Link, using the magic gem to transport himself and his friends back to Winters.
"I'll have to tell my dad about the Sky Runner" said Jeff.
"We'll wait for you here" said Ike.
Jeff nodded, then went to his father's lab.
Poo addressed Kumatora"Pardon my inquiry, I am Prince Poo of Dalaam. May I ask, perchance who you are?"
"You can just call me Kumatora. Lucas, Claus, Duster and I are from the future of this world" replied the girl.
"This all seems too wierd to me, to be honest" shrugged Paula.
Another ten minutes passed before Jeff returned"Sorry for the wait, so where to next?"
"We should return to Smash Mansion. I don't think the gem can transport too large of a group" said Zelda.
"Good idea, we need to rest for a while anyway" nodded Link.
The heroes transported back to the mansion to report their recent discoveries.
Sorry for the wait, but this chapter is now up and running. I must also apologize of anyone seems OOC. I only know a little about the Mother 3/Earthbound 2 cast, aside from what I read on Wikipedia, and most of it probably dosen't fit cononically with the events of Mother 3, which is in Japanese.
Please feel free to review
