I'm sorry that this is somehow more shorter than the last chapter, but I got sick, so I'm not in a writing mood. However, since I already wrote up the first half by then, I decided that I may as well finish it.

LUNCHTIME SHOPPING - PART 2

"Hello, welcome to Wal-Ma... rt..." The Wal-Mart greeter was utterly baffled by the sudden appearance of a tank. He was even more confused when a midget, a dog-thing, a fat penguin, and a bird came out of it. Ah. The troubles of being a normal human living near the establishment of insanity known as Smash Castle.

"Hello greeter-human! I hope you don't mind this, but can you pilot this tank and shoot at any suspicious person coming after us? That would be appreciated." said Lucario. Falco threw the keys to the Landmaster at the greeter as he followed his entourage into the Wal-Mart Supermarket. The greeter pinched himself repeatedly to wake himself up, but was shocked to find that he wasn't dreaming. After that however, he immediately got into their tank for two reasons: one, the customer is always right, and two, when do you get the opportunity to drive a tank?

They entered the store, briefly getting stopped by some Wal-Mart employees. All it took was to flash them with their IDs, which said they were Smashers. The Wal-Mart staff (minus the greeter, who's apparently a new guy) let them pass, as they know the Smashers too well. Meta Knight looked over the list of things to buy. "Okay, it looks like we should split up to get the job done quickly. Dedede, go get the frozens. Lucario, get fruits and veggetables. Falco, you can get drinks and grain items while I get meat. Agreed?"

"Nope." said Dedede.

"Big surprise. The king doesn't want to pull his fat, heavy weight. Alert the press." said Falco.

"That's not what I meant! You see, I have this idea..." said Dedede.

"Really? Care to share?" asked Meta Knight.

"Yes. Okay... WADDLE DEES, COME OUT, YOUR KING DEMAND IT!" yelled Dedede. Out of nowhere, a large legion of Waddles Dees appeared, enough to fill up an entire aisle. "Dees, I want you to get all the items on this list, pronto!" He held the list up high for all the Waddle Dees to read. After just twenty seconds, the Waddle Dees run off to get all the required items for the grocery trip. Dedede turned to the others, wearing a smug grin.

"...Good job Dedede." admitted Meta Knight.

"...That was lazy and completely brilliant at the same time." said Lucario.

"...Where... where do you get minions? I want minions!" yelled Falco.

Meanwhile, a helicopter was flying toward Wal-Mart. Within the helicopter was Snake, Mario and Samus, who decided to team up since they wanted the same stuff.

"So, what's-a the plan?" asked Mario.

"We break in, find the Normals, and shoot them until they give us the credit card." said Samus.

"I was thinking of something a little more... discrete. I suggest we all hide in boxes, sneak up on them, and steal the credit card while they're not paying attention. Of course, we have to do our shopping with the boxes on, but it's a price to pay for safety." suggested Snake.

"That's a stupid idea."

"ARE YOU TRYING TO ASSASSINATE ME?"

"...What made-a you think she was-a trying to assasinate-a you?" said Mario. Immediately after he said that, a large energy beam flew past them, barely missing them.

"See! She is trying to assassinate me!" yelled Snake.

"That makes no sense! For one, I'm standing right next to you!" yelled Samus.

"Then where are-a those shots coming from?" asked Mario. Snake started to lower the helicopter so they could get a better look at what's shooting at them, while avoiding more energy shots. Soon, they could perfectly see what's shooting at them: the Landmaster. The Wal-Mart greeter was having the time of his life, driving a tank and shooting at a helicopter. Snake flew out of the way, continuing to advance toward Wal-Mart.

"You two, grab some parachutes and parachute down to Wal-Mart. I'll try to distract the Landmaster. Oh yeah, and don't forget your cardboard boxes." said Snake.

Samus, who was putting on her parachute, briefly paused. "We're not doing that."

"Why not? Oh, is it because you're an assassin?"

"Just ignore him. Let's-a go!" yelled Mario, jumping out of the helicopter, Samus following shortly after.

While the Waddle Dees were doing the shopping for them, the Normals spent their time in the book/magazine section of the store. Even with all the Waddle Dees, it would still be awhile until the Waddle Dees got everything they need.

"How come all these teen magazines have Justin Bieber in them?" complained Dedede.

"...Why are you even reading those magazines?" asked Falco, who was slightly amused.

"For... the... cooking recipes?" This was the first excuse that came to mind. And it was a terrible one at that.

Suddenly, there was the sound of something breaking along with the screams of several shoppers. "What was that?" asked Meta Knight.

"I'll see with my powers..." said Lucario. He closed his eyes, drawing upon his aura-based powers. His vision shifted to the scene of the noise: Mario and Samus had just broken in through the ceiling and was currently questioning people on where they were. "Oh god no. Mario and Samus are here."

"Crap! They're going to shoot us and then set us on fire, I just know it! Dedede, when will your Waddle Dees be done?" asked Falco.

"I don't know. Hey, Dee." King Dedede called to a random passing Waddle Dee pushing a shopping cart. "When will you guys be done?"

"We're almost finished king!" answered the Waddle Dee.

"Well hurry up! We need to get out of here, pronto!" said Dedede. The Waddle Dee gave a little salute and ran off.

"Okay, so, what are we going to do? Fight them?" asked Falco.

"We can't do that. That might get us banned from the store. We just need to hide out somewhere. Preferably a place they wouldn't go to..." said Meta Knight.

"The pet section? We're hiding in the pet section?" said Falco. They were now hiding in the pet section of the store, which sold various pet food, toys, and goldfish.

"Yeah, well, neither Mario nor Samus have a pet, so it's unlikely for them to come here." said Meta Knight. In a genre blind world, this may turn out to be the case. But unfortunately, everyone in this world was genre savvy, and so, they were only slightly surprised when Mario and Samus actually showed up.

"See! I-a told you that they-a would be hiding somewhere we-a wouldn't go to!" said Mario.

Samus pointed her arm cannon at them. "So, what will it be? The credit card or your lives?"

"Or how about... fish food!" yelled Dedede. He grabbed a can of fish food, opened it up, and threw the entire contents onto Mario and Samus, who were not amused.

"...What was that supposed to accomplish?"

"Seriously, what was-a the point of... ARRGH!" screamed Mario. All of the goldfish in the nearby fish tanks suddenly flew out of their tanks and attacked Mario and Samus, biting them while trying to get their delicious food. Falco turned toward Dedede.

"Did you get that off of Family Guy?" asked Falco.

"Maybe." said Dedede.

"Alright..." Lucario was using his aura powers again. "Your Waddle Dees finished getting the stuff. We just need to pay for them and get out of here."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!" said Meta Knight.
