Wow, including this story, I am currently working on six stories. Ha... HAHAHAHAHA! Well, first thing on my agenda is to finish up The Normals, so that I could have some breathing room with my other stories (kill me now)...
ARC 11: SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW - PART 1
Three villains sat around a table - actually, scratch that. Three villains were sitting around a giant tree stump in the middle of a forest in an alternate dimension, with one of the villains sitting within a man-made lake, due to being a giant squid. Yes. That's more accurate. Today, the Garlic King, the Puppit King, and the Squid were making final preparations for their grand, convoluted plan to take down the Smashers.
"...so yeah, that's pretty much it. My plan is genius, is it not?" Wario questioned.
"YeS... iT's FoOlpRoOf..." the Puppit King chuckled with rattling wooden teeth.
The squid slammed a tentacle down. "What about their giant aircraft?"
"The who in the what?" responded Wario.
"Their giant aircraft. They could pile into it while we're enacting our plan, escape, fly over us, and utterly annihilate us. Did you not think about that?"
"...Umm..."
"You seriously forgot that they have that thing? That's fucking incredible."
"We CaN't StArT tHe InVaSiOn WiTh SoMeThInG tHaT pRoBlEmAtIc In ThE wAy."
"Fine, fine. Don't worry. The Garlic King's got this. I will sabotage that stupid face ship, and then we will start our amazing scheme! WAHAHAHA! Come on, laugh with me! WAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"HaAhAaHaAhAaHaAhAaHaA!"
"Fuck no."
It was an average day at Smash Castle and... blah blah blah. Look, we all know how these things go: everything's fine in Smash Castle, or something along those lines, and then some crazy stuff happens and the Normals have to deal with it. It's a fact of life. In fact, it's a path of my life since I have to write a chapter of their chronicles once every one or two weeks.
"Will you get back to the story, please?" Lucario asked.
Alright, fine. Can't I have my fourth wall breakage fun? Anyway, the Normals were all sitting in Dedede's room, playing on the Wii U (which he most definitely did not steal). They were running through New Super Mario Bros U together, having a funtime and enjoying each others company. You readers can also probably guess that this good time will be ruined. Well guess what? You're absolutely correct!
Falco's character (Blue Toad) suddenly froze in midair right over a gap and he fell to his death. "What the hell?" He looked at his Wii Remote. "Ack, this thing is out of batteries!"
"Our remotes are all dying, actually." Lucario added as Yellow Toad stopped running and let a Koopa kill him.
"I told you guys that we should have replaced the batteries earlier." Meta Knight sighed. He decided to just put Luigi into a bubble rather than leave him at the mercy of the game's perils.
Dedede paused the game before his character could die in an unfortunate 'lack of batter charge related' incident. "I'll go see if I sto- I mean bought any batteries." The king left the other three Normals to rummage through his things; he came back empty-handed. "Sorry. I don't have any."
"Maybe we could ask the other Smashers." Meta Knight suggested hopefully. The Normals left the room to chastise the other Smashers, to see if they had any batteries. Unfortunately, their search came up fruitless; most Smashers did not have any batteries on them. The ones that did didn't want to hand their precious power over to them. Finally, they turned to one last person for help...
"SORRY, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY BATTERIES IN STORAGE." the Ancient Minister told them.
"You've got to be kidding me." Dedede said, smacking himself in the face.
"Are there seriously no batteries in the castle?" Lucario asked, completely dumbfounded.
"UNFORTUNATELY. WE USED THE WHOLE SUPPLY FOR THAT ELECTRIC CAR RACING THING LAST WEEK."
"Of course, it has to be the stupid asinine thing that happened offscreen." muttered Falco.
"WELL, YOU FOUR ARE WELCOME TO GO BUY YOUR OWN BATTERIES. IN FACT, GO GET THOSE CHARGEABLE ONES. THAT WOULD BE NICE." the Ancient Minister mused. With that, the Normals left his office and started to head for the castle's hangar.
"I truly wish that this won't be another 'shopping incident'." Meta Knight said while they walked there.
"We don't have the credit card though. What reason would anyone have to mess with us?" stated Lucario.
"Yeah, that's something, I guess." Falco huffed. They entered the hangar, in all of its aircraft storing glory. "Whose ship are we taking?"
"Certainly not yours." Dedede said.
"What. Are you saying that my Arwing is a piece of junk?" Falco aggressively grabbed Dedede by the neck.
"N-No! It's just that we can't take it!" Dedede babbled.
"Why not?"
"Falco!" Meta Knight shouted, pointing at Falco's Arwing; its jets were on, and it was slowly moving out of the hangar.
Falco dropped Dedede and started running after his ship. "Hey you! Get the hell out of my Arwing!" He made a lunge for one of the Arwing's wings, but he missed and tumbled to the floor. When he recovered, his ship was already jetting out into the open air. The avian started punching the floor in utter disdain. "You've got to be kidding me!"
"Who could have stolen your ship? Lucario wondered.
"Doesn't matter." Fox growled. "Meta Knight, we're taking the Halberd. We're hunting the guy down."
"What? Are you sure about this, Falco?" Meta Knight questioned.
"Does this look unsure to you?" Falco said, giving Meta Knight a glare. "That jerkass stole my Arwing, and there will be hell to pay."
"...Then by all means. Let's hurry into the Halberd." the knight said with a nod.
Falco wore a grateful smile on his face. "Thanks! Now let's hurry, before that asshole gets any far!" He was already running up the ramp into the giant ship. Lucario and Dedede looked at Meta Knight, wondering his motive.
"Why did you accept that?" asked Lucario.
"When you two get your own aircrafts, you'll gain a sense of attachment for them. I understand Falco completely. Now come on, let's make sure he doesn't do anything rash and start firing the Halberd's cannons at his own ship." Meta Knight calmly shuffled toward his ship, Lucario and King Dedede following behind him; they were going to help Falco find his ship, no matter what.
To be continued...
Gasp! Who could have stolen Falco's ship? It's probably Wario or one of his lackies. Come on, this shouldn't even be a spoiler, it's so obvious. How does this factor in the Garlic King's plans, though? Well, let's find out in the next chapter!
