Okay, I'm back from the Velvet Room! I've been practicing drawing on a tablet recently, and so far, I'm slightly above the shit level. I'm actually planning on making a cover for this story, because I'm tired of my avatar but I don't want my new avatar to be everywhere. Oh, and guys, I'm sorry but the Lucas thing won. I forgot to close the poll on the deadline and currently the beach episode is tied with it. Unfortunately, I was already in the process of writing this when I realized that I didn't close it, so tough tofu. But still, please enjoy this arc.
ARC 6: BEWARE THE NICE ONES - PART 1
"Come on guys! You got this!" cheered on Lucario.
"Go Donkey!" screeched Diddy Kong.
A group of Smashers were gathered inside of the viewing room, which was basically a room with a bunch of sofas and chairs with giant plasma screen TVs. Sure, everyone had their own TVs, but come on this was pretty sweet room. The Smashers were watching a Team Brawl on one of the TVs. The match had Falco and Lucas go against the combined force that is Donkey Kong and Bowser in a Stamina match at Hyrule Temple. All of the combatants were low on health; it was anyone's game.
"Oi, Lucas! Come over here and lend me a hand!" yelled Falco, shooting at an advancing Bowser.
"I WILL EAT YOUR FACE!" growled Bowser in an unstoppable battle rage.
"HURRY UP!"
"Hold on! I'm coming!" said Lucas, running into the fray with a Beam Sword.
"SHINY SWORD!" yelled a voice from above. Donkey Kong fell in front of Lucas and smacked him away, sending him over an abyss.
"Recover and get your ass up here!" shouted Falco, who was now fighting Bowser hand-to-hand.
"Don't worry, I... whoops." Lucas failed to hit himself with PK Thunder, and he had already wasted his double jump. As he fell out of the sky, he screamed, "I'm sorryyyyyyy..."
Falco facepalmed as Donkey Kong advanced on him with the Beam Sword with Bowser. "Damnit Lucas."
Half of the crowd of Smashers cheered, while the others groaned. The groaning ones unwillingly gave out bet money to the happy Smashers, among them being The Normals. "I would have won that stupid bet if Lucas hadn't messed up." Muttered Dedede.
"Yeah. If I was in his place, things would have gone so much better." said Red.
"(What the hell are you talking about? You don't even do the actual fighting.)" said Ivysaur. Sadly, unlike Pikachu and Jigglypuff, Red's Pokemon cannot be understood.
"You shouldn't be saying that. It's not as if you has psychic powers." said Meta Knight.
"...I wish I do... hey, I would be awesome with psychic powers, right Charizard?"
"(One day, you will die, regardless of what power you have. And it will not be a natural death. I will be your deathbringer. Soon, when you have your back turned, I will slow-roast you as you beg for mercy. After you die hours later, I will burn your body to cinders and throw the ashes to the wind. Everyone will briefly wonder where you've gone, but stop caring, because everyone here is batshit insane. You will never suspect this, as you blindly believe that I love you like Ivysaur and Squirtle do. Those poor ignorant fools. I will bring them along with me to freedom, flying through your remains as I celebrate with a triumphant roar.)"
Red hugged him. "I love you too Charizard."
Falco and Lucas entered the room, having just exited the arena. "What the hell Lucas? You've been fighting for months now and you messed that up?"
"I'm sorry..." apologized Lucas.
"Falco, you need to lighten up." said Lucario.
"Lighten up? No I won't lighten up! I put a large bet on this because I thought we would win. Oh, and by the way, catch!" Falco threw a bag of Smash Coins at Toon Link's face.
"Yay! My face reeks of wealth and pain!" cheered Toon Link.
"Nice job Lucas." said Bowser as he and Donkey Kong entered as well. He patted the boy on the head. "Way to lose!"
"I didn't mean to..." said Lucas quietly.
"Thanks for the shiny sword. It made beating up the bird man more easier." said Donkey Kong. He and Bowser started to laugh while Falco continued to fume and yell at Lucas. Finally, Lucas burst into tears and ran out of the room crying. As the villain and technically villain left to go celebrate, the other Normals were berating Falco.
"You didn't have to be so harsh to Lucas." said Lucario.
"Yeah, and even I thought that was a dick move." said Dedede. He then realized something. "Wait... if you're the resident jerk of the story... THEN WHAT AM I GOOD FOR OTHER THAN BEING A FAT IDIOT?"
"Dedede, you're not usele-" encouraged Meta Knight, bt the penguin king was already turning away.
"I need to become a jerk again, and fast!" screamed Dedede. He randomly shoved Marth into a wall before jumping out a window to start his nefarious jerk spree.
"...Look, Falco, you shouldn't have yelled at Lucas. Not only is it cruel, but considering his past, he may be a little emotionally unstable." said Meta Knight.
Falco was looking at the floor, feeling ashamed. "You know, you're right. Maybe I was a little mean..."
"Then go apologize to him." suggested Lucario.
"You know what, I think I will... after this match finishes because I put a bet on it." said Falco, taking a seat.
Meta Knight just stared at him. "You need to stop gambling."
"Well I need Arwing upgrades, and they're not going to pay for themselves."
"They won't if you keep losing!" shouted Toon Link.
"Don't be a smartass."
Meanwhile, Lucas is walking through the halls of the castle, crying to himself when he was unfortunate enough to run across Wolf. Since Wolf is a jerk, he'll probably make things worse.
"Oh, hey Lucas. Why are you cryi- oh that's right, you lost a match because you were stupid!" chortled Wolf.
"I-It was an accide-" mumbled Lucas.
"What's that? I can't hear you over your crybaby tears!"
Lucas' eye twitched. "Grrr..."
Wario walked stealthily around Smash Castle, watching people, planning his moves. If he was going to get his revenge, it was going to be through an unnecessarily elaborate scheme, because that's how most villains do it. And Wario thought he was the greatest villain of all. While he was spying and gathering more information, Dedede fell next to him through a window.
"Hey." greeted Dedede, not bothering to see who he wad talking to. "Can't talk now, I need to restore my status as a jerk." And so he ran off to do a vilainous deed, holding candy that he stole from Jigglypuff's secret stash. Wario looked at him, shrugged, continued on his way... and then a bloodied Wolf fell in front of him.
"Waa? Is it 'Fall Out of the Sky Day' already?" Wario said to himself.
"...Help me..." said Wolf weakly.
"How dare they not invite me, the Garlic King, to this! When I take over again, no 'Fall Out of the Sky Day' for those chumps!"
"Help."
"Lucas?" Falco poked his head through the door of the newly rebuilt MOTHER dorm. "Look, I'm sorry about all those things I said earl- WHAT THE HELL?" And so Falco found himself in that awkward moment where you find a bloody bat on the floor right next to an ominous notebook. He picked up the notebook and he recognized that it was written in Lucas' handwriting. He flipped over to the last page, which was definitely not unsettling.
Dear journal,
I am finally tired of these guys. No, not just the people who make fun of me (ie most people); I mean everyone. I am sick of everyone ehre and I will kill them. Besides, Samus and Ness sort of go on rampages when they're angry, so why not? I've already gotten rid of Wolf... now what?
Note to self: Remember to pick this and the baseball bat off the floor. Why did I just leave these here anyway?
Note to self 2: I need better role models. Still, Samus and Ness are on to something.
Note to self 3: You know what I'll just leave these here. Besides, it's not as if someone will come in and discover them unless they were trying to apologize to me. Which is probably unlikely.
Falco dropped the journal, a look of horror on his face. "Oh god why." Falco bolted out of the room and turned into a corridor. He saw that the passage was blocked by Smashers, who were looking into a room that a bunch of Primids were in.
"They already took it away." gossiped Zelda. She turned into Shiek. "Aw! But I like dead bodies!" Switch. "Shiek, this is a serious crime!"
"I already saw it." said Dr. Mario with glee written on his face. "I can't believe that someone actually did that to Bowser."
"Yeah. It must take massive balls to attempt and actually kill Bowser." commented Sonic. Falco's blood practically froze then. He saw Meta Knight and Lucario inside of the crowd.
"How come he didn't turn into a trophy like all the other times when people died?" questioned Lucario.
"Maybe Hyper's taking creative liberties. Everything will probably be back to normal by the end of the story arc." responded Meta Knight.
"Guys! I need to tell you something!" called out Falco. Before the two turned to look at him, Mr. Game and Watch came into the scene, clearly in a panic.
"EVERYONE! THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER MURDER; DONKEY KONG JUST DROPPED DEAD FROM EATING A POISONED BANANA!" announced Mr. Game and Watch. Everyone gasped.
"What? Two people are dead?" questioned Zelda. She turned into her alter ego again. "It's actually three idiot." Switch. "Wolf's death was a murder?" Transform! "Yes. Since it's not 'Fall Out of the Sky Day' and Wolf isn't that stupid, then clearly someone pushed him out." Bloop. "Oh my."
"Clearly we are dealing ith a serial killer here." said Meta Knight. That was enough to send everyone into a panic; everyone ran in various directions, screaming and fearing for their lives. The only people left were Dr. Mario, Meta Knight, and Lucario.
"...So, anyone else here that wants to check out DK's body? ...Just me? ...Fine, you guys were boring anyway." Dr. Mario left, leaving Falco with privacy to talk with his friends.
"Falco, there you are! We need to look for Dedede, before this killer gets him too!" said a worried Lucario.
"Hold on... didn't Dedede leave to commit crimes...?" suggested Meta Knight.
"...Wait, you're not saying..."
"I'm not saying that it's Dedede, I don't believe that he's capable of murder. But within these circumstances..."
"No, listen. It's not Dedede, it's actually..." Falco stopped. Far behind his two friends was Lucas, who was watching him with a knowing look. "...um... yeah, it's probably Dedede."
Lucas grinned and mouthed, "I'll kill you later," before trotting off happily.
Falco has never been so scared before in his life.
To be continued...
Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, I was playing Lucas on Hyrule Temple when I messed up his rocket jump thing and fell to my death. I immediately went into a rage and killed all of the computer players. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW. So yeah, that's where the inspiration for this chapter came from. So, we have another poll! Today's question: who is your favorite Normal in the story? So, go out there and vote, will ya?
