The True Master Of the Smash Brothers part 4
"City Life part 2:The Heroes Arrive,"
Sonic looked at the surrounding law officials awkwardly. "Well this is certainly an uncomfortable position," He commented. In truth it was. The police all had their weapons trained on him and were prepared to fire if Sonic so much as twitched. Sonic's eyes shot to the side to see his friends glaring at him with arms folded annoyed. In hindsight dressing up as a villain was probably not one of Sonic's best moves since he wanted to stay unnoticed. Sonic sighed and turned to the police. He may have to shed his disguise if they were dead set on getting him.
"Step away from the civilians, extremely slowly," ordered one of the officers.
Sonic rolled his eyes. They supposed that one step could turn into like 100 supersonic steps, and two miles away. Sonic supposed they didn't really have anything to really catch the fastest thing alive. Sonic watched one of the lone officers approach him cautiously with a pair of hand cuffs. Sonic looked pleadingly to his friends. They all sighed.
"Ness, if you please," Lucario said.
Ness then activated his PK Flash technique that exploded in a show of light. Anyone who watched the light was instantly blinded. When the police finally regained their vision they saw that all four of the people were gone. They all immediately hopped in their police cars then drove off in random directions hoping to catch the runaway hedgehog. From above on a rooftop all four of them stood watching the streets below.
"Whew, that was a close one," Sonic said.
"Well lucky you had us with you then," Ness said.
"However, your gonna need to ditch this disguise," Lucario said. Sonic looked glumly at him. "Just do it,"
"Fine," Sonic said. Sonic rubbed off the make up on his stomach to get rid of his scars, ditched the jacket, and tossed his sunglasses to Lucas. Lucas looked at the shades wondering what to do with them. "This should be fine right?"
"And you have to carry all our stuff," Ness added.
"But," Ness and Lucario looked at him frowning. "Fine,"
Sonic gathered all the items they bought and they traveled back down to the streets. Once on the ground they began moving about the city as normal as ever. Ness gaped at everything he saw as if it was his first time here.
"Ness, does anything look familiar?" Lucas asked from Ness's side.
"It does look familiar, but I just can't place everything," Ness said with eyes wondering all over the area. Ness looked ahead of them to see a small building. Ness suddenly had a small vision. He pictured himself entering the establishment with a few of the other originals. Ness was snapped back into reality by Lucas's concerned voice.
"You okay, you just blanked out?" he asked.
"Yeah….anybody hungry?"
"It has been a while since we ate. Did anyone see anything while we were walking around?" Lucario asked.
"Let's try there," Ness said pointing at the familiar building.
"That's a restaurant?" Lucas asked. From the outside it looked pretty dark with tinted windows, and the letter were hard to make out since it was written all fancy.
"You've never been to a restaurant before have you?"
"I have…sort of,"
"Well then let's go," Ness said leading the way. Ness walked up to the building then stared it down. The building was painted a sweet cream color, but it looked casual like little house with a gate and everything. The behind the gates were outside tables where some people sat and ate. Ness took it all in then walked up to the front door. He gestured for his friends to follow. When they approached the greeter they saw she was just a regular human girl. She smiled at them.
"How may I help you?" she asked sweetly.
"We'd like a table for four please," Ness said.
"Of course, would you like outside or inside?"
"Let's go outside please," Ness said. Sonic inwardly cursed while glaring at Ness. It took a lot of effort to get everything in, and now he wants to go right back out.
"Alright this way," she said sweetly. She led them outside to the gate and sat them down. Sonic's arms dropped along with all their items taking a breath of relief.
"(You've been carrying that for all of five minutes)," Lucario telepathed to Sonic.
"And your point?" Sonic retorted. Everyone stared at him wondering whom he was talking to. Sonic just sighed and accepted his punishment.
"You're waiter will be here in a moment, is there anything else I can do for you?" the greeter asked politely as she handed everyone menus.
"How about-," Sonic started, but was cut off from Ness clamping a hand over his mouth.
"We're fine," Ness said. She smiled a little jiggling then left.
"Ness…I think that girl recognizes you," Lucario said.
"Why would you say that?" Ness asked.
"She never took her eyes off you,"
"Ooooo, that's cute," Sonic said.
"That girl looked older then me though,"
"Speaking of older woman," Sonic said gesturing to the side. They all looked to see Peach, Zelda, Jigglypuff, Samus, and Pikachu walking toward the restaurant. The girls and Pikachu were a little surprised to see them there. "Hello ladies, and Pikachu,"
"Well, what happened to you?" Zelda asked.
"A little confrontation, we wont need to worry about it,"
"That's what he said when he first put together that disguise," Ness said.
"What brings you all here?" Lucario asked.
"Same reason as you guys, we got hungry, so Samu-I mean Samantha, Pikachu, and Jiggly was leading us here. You guys said you didn't remember the city, but I could swear you guys were walking like you knew where you were going," Peach said.
Ness traded glances with Jigglypuff, Samus, and Pikachu, slightly perturbed. It wasn't long until four other smashers with an original lead them to this restaurant, and then another group.
"Wow, this spot must be popular…" Lucas mumbled. Usually when he speaks people tend to be surprised. However, his friends have long gotten used to his long periods of silence and then speaking. It no longer surprised them.
"Popular, or familiar?" Lucario stated.
Pretty soon almost all the smashers, save the villains, had gathered at the restaurant. It really didn't take a rocket scientist to know that all these groups of four knew each other. Each one passed awkward glances. Some sat outside, while some wanted to go indoors. Lucario observed the menu closely then came to a realization.
"I get it now," Lucario said. The other three occupants of his table looked at him to explain, and any other table of smashers were somewhat tuned into what he was saying. "Look at the menu," .As if somebody was playing simon says all the smashers who heard looked the menu up and down. Nothing really eye catching about it. The three smashers at Lucario's table put them down to look at him. "This menu has everything that the Original 12 would like. For Mario and Luigi, a special Mushroom soup, for Yoshi and Kirby just about the whole menu so nothing special about them, but they have fresh fruits which is in their top five favorite food, for Donkey Kong a hot roasted Banana Bread, with all sorts of banana options, for Samus a shrimp Alfredo, for Pikachu the menu has a variety of berry type meals in salads, and we all know how much Falcon loves spicy things and this whole left half of the menu is covered with it,"
Lucario was indeed right. This menu was compromised of the Original 12's favorite foods. Ness even saw a medium rare steak. Basically, Lucario pointed out that this was no mere coincidence in all the smashers gathering here for lunch. Although at first most smashers weren't concerned before, but this did raise some questions now. Sonic reached into the many bags that he was forced to carry. He looked at the Wii he purchased earlier.
"Hopefully we may get some answers out of this thing," Sonic said.
After that they all decided to push that feeling away and decide to focus on having lunch. The waiter soon came and took their orders. They talked and laughed about a few things.
"So what if I actually like to comb my hair," Lucas said.
"It's a waste of time if ya ask me. You're just gonna mess it up later only to comb it again later, over and over and over again," Ness responded.
"Ness do you even own a comb?" Sonic asked.
"Nope, I had used Luc's to get my hair like this,"
"But, you must have some form of grooming. Even I like my fur evened out," Lucario said.
"Nope, I just put on my cap and I'm ready to go,"
"Ness, that's pretty crazy. You at least shower right?" Sonic asked.
"Of course I shower everyday, I'm not some hedgehog afraid of water,"
"Hey!" Sonic said.
"Well I know I shower more then you,"
Sonic and Lucario looked to Lucas. "More or less," he answered.
"You don't comb your hair-spines-thingies…" Ness accused.
"Their called quills and yes I do. You can't get this cool hairstyle without a little help ya know," Sonic said running a hand through his quills.
"That's not a hairstyle that's something you live with,"
"Actually, I've had a few different looks over the ages. When I was real little I only had a couple of quills, like three. I'm glad the other two finally grew out," Lucas tried to picture Sonic with less quills and the picture made him laugh. "I thought I looked cool,"
Sonic whimpered.
"I'm sure you were Sonic," Lucas said smirking.
Finally, the waiter just appeared and placed down their specifically asked meals. The meals exactly the way they were described, and it looked delicious. They all thanked the waiter for the food. Soon Ness and Sonic dove right into their food, with Lucario and Lucas looking a bit put off.
"Will you guys be going to the Festival?" the waiter asked them. Since Ness and Sonic had full mouths, and Lucario isn't supposed to talk the responsibility fell on Lucas. Lucas gulped slightly when he realized he needed to answer.
"Uh… w-what festival?"
The waiter looked shocked, but quickly regained himself smirking. "The Fireworks Festival. The city has a giant fireworks show with games, food, and finally we shoot fireworks into the air. Usually we do this at the end of the year, but it was pushed up in celebration of the Smashers saving everyone from those monsters,"
"Fireworks…that sound fun," Lucas said.
"It's held in Capital Park in the center of the city,"
"Okay…u-uh thanks," The waiter nods then leaves. "I kinda get the feeling he knows something,"
"But…" Ness gulps down what was in his mouth. "It does sound like fun, we should definitely…"
Ness suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence. He dropped his fork and began staring in space. His friends quickly noticing his lack of attention, but also noticing that they weren't the only table with a dysfunctional party member. The other smashers noticed that lack of attention in one of them, one of the original 12 to be exact. In the blink of an eye Ness's eyes turned red also glaring. His friends were instantly surprised. Lucas reached over to Ness shoulder to grasp it.
"Ness, a-are you okay?" Lucas asked shaking him a bit.
Ness reacted viciously by slapping Lucas's hand away then pushing him out his chair. Sonic and Lucario quickly stood from their chairs to get to the bottom of things, but this resulted in a chair being chucked at them. Ness used his PSI to launch the table right into the side of the restaurant. Luckily, it didn't hit anything fragile, but it was only a moment until a powerful thunderbolt shot through one of the biggest glass windows. It was only moments until Mario, Luigi, Samus, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Yoshi burst from the window and running off in random directions. The smashers outside began overturning tables and throwing things. The smashers tried to calm them but it was useless, so they opted to making sure no one was hurt. Donkey Kong, Falcon, Link, Fox, Kirby, and Ness all caused collateral damage outside then dashed off. The smasher quickly recovered greatly confused and trying to figure out what had just happened.
"Okay, that was weird," Sonic muttered.
"Why would they just flip out like that?" Lucario asked but no one had an answer.
"My question is why did they all flip out at the same time?" Marth said curious.
"Well we can keep asking ourselves questions we can't answer or we can chase after them and make sure they don't hurt anyone," Sonic said.
"Sonic, I can't stop Samus myself, and Mario is gonna be hard too," Peach said.
Sonic huffed. He didn't realize how much muscle the Original 12 brought to the table. "Okay…then lets divide up these teams," Sonic looked everyone over to see what he was working with. R.O.B, Game, go for Luigi, Marth, Pit go get Link, Red round up those Pokemon the only way you know how, Falco go get Fox, Meta Knight get Kirby, Toon Link, Lucas you guys get Ness, Nana, Popo, Diddy you go with Lucario here and get Doneky Kong. Peach, Zelda go try and bring back Samus, and I'll try and get Mario under control. Once you get someone try and span out get another. We gotta find out what's going on and try keeping an eye out for those lazy villains," Sonic said.
"Alright," everyone chirped then went their own way to try and find who they were looking for.
Sonic dashed off toward where he saw a few of the Originals run. He couldn't believe this was happening, now of all times. To think they weren't going to get caught breaking this rule, heck they'd be lucky to leave their rooms when this was all done. Sonic quickly caught up to Mario and Donkey Kong who were causing quite a lot of damage. DK turning cars over and Mario smashing windows and other smashable objects. They both noticed him on the spot and stopped their rampage. Sonic quickly noticed that he was first to arrive on the scene.
"So, guys, the customer service wasn't good enough?" DK chucked a car at Sonic. Sonic leaped up then ran on top of the car then slid off the end. "You could of just not left a tip!"
Mario came charging toward Sonic at a quicker speed then Sonic expected the plumber to go. Mario made a sliding kick that Sonic narrowly leaped over. DK then came charging to deliver a close line that dived under. Sonic rolled then faced his opponents. Sonic tried his spin dash, however DK quickly caught Sonic in the palm of his hand. DK slam Sonic into the concrete then threw Sonic into a wall. Mario came charging toward Sonic with a hook kick. Sonic rolled narrowly dodging the kick that cracked the concrete even more then Sonic's body. Sonic reacted with a homing attack, but Mario pushed off the wall with his extended leg to avoid it. Then DK came in to punch Sonic straight into a dumpster this time.
Sonic groaned, "Good talk guys…"
Mario then went about setting things ablaze, but only for a blast of cold air silenced the flames. Mario's red eyes shot to the side then he leaped back to dodge a double hammer drop. Nana and Popo stood ready to defend the hedgehog. Mario lit his hands on fire, looking ready like he was about to unleash his Mario Finale. Nana and Popo flinched at this. Mario unleashed the tornado of flames onto the climbers. Sonic dashed up to pick both Climbers from around the waist then leaped over the flames.
"How'd Mario do that!" Popo half yelled/asked.
"I thought he couldn't do that outside a brawl," Nana added.
"We gotta worry about it later, right now you two handle those flames, and I'll get sir toasty over there," Sonic said as his feet came back to the ground. Sonic sat both Climbers on their feet to let them do their thing. Sonic returned his attention to Mario only to see a giant fireball coming towards him. Sonic cowered back, but luckily an aura sphere intercepted it dousing the flames. "Thanks,"
Lucario gave a nod in response then focused on Donkey Kong who was trying to smash Diddy Kong into the pavement. Diddy quickly moved around Donkey's wild blows, and careful to keep his distance and strike when an opening appeared. Donkey Kong brought both his fist up about to slam done on Lucario. Lucario used his extreme speed to dash up to DK then placed his hand on DK's chest. Then unleashed a powerful Force Palm. DK only slid back on his feet slightly then swung his giant arm horizontally. Lucario was surprised, but was able to dodge it bending his torso to the proper angle to avoid it. DK used his other hand to reach for Lucario, but Lucario swiftly moved. However, he wasn't kick enough as DK got a grip on his tail. DK yanked Lucario's tail to bring Lucario's face into its thick arm. Then slammed Lucario into the concrete, and was probably about to break every bone in Lucario's body had Mario not gone flying into the ape knocking him off his feet. Sonic joined Lucario at his side ready to fight, and the Ice Climbers soon joined them after putting out the fire.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but…I think I need to see a doctor," Sonic muttered.
Lucas and Toon Link went after Ness to see if they could possibly end his rampage. Luckily, he was alone, the problem was, he was alone. Toon Link and Lucas obviously knew that Ness was no push over, but between the two of them stopping Ness shouldn't be a problem.
However, things didn't work out that way.
Toon Link and Lucas were easily being handled by Ness, who hardly had to even use his powers to deal with them. Toon Link swung his sword at Ness, the flat part so not to injury him, however Ness leaned out of the way. Ness then grabbed Toon's arm with his inside arm to pull Toon forward as to ram his knee into the latter's gut. Toon hit the ground holding his stomach. Lucas fired a PK Freeze aimed at Ness feet, but Ness jumped up bringing his knees to his chest. When Ness feet touched the ground he charged toward Lucas at blistering speed.
"Boo!" Ness said as he suddenly stopped in front of Lucas who cringed ready for the next attack. Lucas then opened one eye noticing the pain never came. He noticed Ness standing in front of him smirking, almost mockingly.
"N-Ness is this s-some kind of sick joke?" Lucas asked.
Ness smirked again patting Lucas on the head. Lucas was confused until he felt Ness's grip tighten on his blonde locks. Ness's smirk is replaced with a malicious smile. Ness then yanked Lucas by his hair earning a cry of pain from Lucas. With Ness's other hand he balled it into a fist then drove it straight into Lucas's abdomen. Lucas was unprepared and with his cries of pain he was already winded. He wanted to fall to his knees, but Ness kept a good grip on his hair keeping him on his feet. Ness smiled increased in malice as he continued to slam his fist into Lucas's gut. It wasn't long until blood started to trickle down Lucas's mouth. Lucas was astounded by the strength Ness had, and disappointed in himself for being so easily put in this position. At the rate Ness was going he would make him cough up enough blood till he died. Ness pulled back for another punch.
Luckily at this point Toon Link intervened. He threw his boomerang at the back of Ness's head. Ness's senses were very acute so all it took was a turn of his head to stop the boomerang inches from his face. Ness then launched it back at Toon, luckily Toon swerved around it. Lucas barley conscious, but aware enough to notice Ness's lack of focus to charge up a PSI attack. Obviously being so close Ness sensed it and used Lucas as a shield. Toon hesitated enough for Ness to launch a powerful PK Thunder into Toon's chest. Toon skid against the ground, but he was up in a moments notice. Lucas was able to get his feet underneath him to pull out Ness's arm. Ness wasn't too keen on losing his shield so he pulled Lucas back. Despite the pain Lucas was able to straighten Ness's arm out.
Giving Toon a clear shot at the arm.
This gave Ness an ultimatum. Either ditch Lucas as a shield or lose an arm. Any sane person would know what to choose in a moment. Ness released Lucas to jump back away for the downward sword swing of Toon's. Lucas collapsed to the ground groaning in agony. Toon quickly shielded Lucas so Ness wouldn't take advantage of a downed opponent. Obviously Ness isn't fighting fair, or clean.
"Ness cut it out! You're hurting your friends, and causing pain. I may have to really hurt you if you don't quit it," Toon warned. Ness chuckled in response. "I'm serious!"
"I laugh because you actually believe you wanna-be-smashers can take on a real smasher. You guys are add ons," Ness said, but his voice was distorted. Like something else was speaking through him and both voice intertwined with each other. "Pathetic add ons might I add," Ness said casting a red eye glance at Lucas.
"You're…not Ness…who are you?" Toon demanded backing up a bit closer to Lucas in case of the off chance of having to grab him to avoid an attack.
Ness's red eyes suddenly widened, "Oh, I stand corrected, not all of you wanna-be-smashers are pathetic,"
"What?" Toon was confused because they were the only ones present.
"My apologies I'm not really to focused on this fight, but another fight happening. I must say that blue quickster is quite something else,"
"Release our friends!" Toon demanded trying to gain the puppeteers attention.
"I have a better idea," Ness said as he suddenly turned and ran off again. Toon was about to give chase when he remembered Lucas. He looked down at the boy still recovering from the beating.
Toon bent down to his level, "Will you be alright?"
"Yeah…..l-let's go…." Lucas moaned out wiping away the traces of blood. Toon helped get Lucas to his feet. Toon advised Lucas to rest but Lucas refused saying Ness and the others needed help.
Once on his feet Lucas regained himself somewhat. He could still sense Ness, so he lead Toon Link as they gave chase. As they chased Ness down they began to notice the other battles around the city. Falco was tossed across the ground into the sidewalk by Fox who also turned tail to run off. Falco assured the boys he was fine and gave chase. Ironically they both ended up going the same direction indicating that The Originals must all be gathering together. That wouldn't be good. If a couple of smashers could overpower them separately then they wouldn't be able to handle them all together. A somewhat happy thought was that they saw Mario go flying through the air into a wall. They turned to the source to see an exhausted Sonic.
"Yeah…and there's more where…that came from…" Sonic breathed.
"Sonic, this isn't working!" Falco exclaimed.
"Agreed," Toon Link said.
"I know…Donkey Kong almost squashed the Ice Climbers back there. If we want this to end we gotta find some way to take the fight out of them,"
"We tried hitting, but that doesn't seem to work," Falco said as his eyes shifted to the side to see Mario shaking off the impact and getting back to his feet.
"We just keep trying I guess," Toon suggested.
"Kid, I've fought Fox a couple of times and he's never been this strong,"
"The same goes for Mario and DK…" Sonic muttered. He took a cleansing breath as he charged back toward Mario for another go round. Mario met him head on. They both dived at each other, but both missing their target. Sonic rolled, as did Mario then they charged again. Sonic curled up charging at Mario, but the latter leaped over it. Mario brought his fist down, but Sonic already spun out the way. "Call we call a time out, or a bathroom break or something?" Mario swung his leg in response, but Sonic leaned back enough for the leg to travel above him. "I can't stand it anymore, just let them go, guy-who-is-super-creepy,"
Mario continued to throw a flurry of punches at the hedgehog that Sonic had to glide back on his feet to avoid them. Mario swung his leg for a sweep kick aimed at Sonic's lead leg, but Sonic lifted the leg to avoid it. Mario spun back around to ram his forearm into the hedgehog's chest. Mario allowed a satisfied smirk to finally land a blow on the quick hedgehog.
"Okay you hit me, now cane we stop?" Sonic asked. Sonic jumped above a powerful fireball shot out Mario's right hand. Sonic landed on a light post automatically having balance on it. "So I'll take that as you chewing it over!"
Mario leaped up to meet Sonic on the lamppost. Sonic leaped back higher onto a rooftop, so Mario gave chase by following. Mario landed on to rooftop to be met with a spin attack. The attack was dodged however making the hedgehog plummet into the building. Sonic just so happened to come crashing down into a convenient store. Sonic grunted then opened his eyes to see Mario following towards him. Sonic flipped onto his feet avoid the slamming punch by Mario. Mario turned then grabbed a whole rack to throw at Sonic. Sonic performed a cartwheel narrowly avoiding it. Mario then tackled Sonic into the glass of the cold drink section. Sonic noticed a soda can so he quickly grabbed it then shook it wildly. He popped the can in Mario's voice forcing him to recoil. Sonic then kicked forward hitting Mario in the chest forcing him back.
"That really was convenient," Sonic smirked as he chugged a bit of the soda that hadn't exploded in Mario's face. Sonic took a track start then charged forward with a spin attack that bashed into Mario and forcing him out the window of the store. Mario then kicked off Sonic forcing the hedgehog face first into the ground. Sonic was rising to his feet when suddenly a giant green fireball was charging in his direction. Sonic panicked but luckily Mr. Game and Watch jumped in with his trash can to catch the attack. "Whew, thanks Game,"
Mr. Game and Watch gave a solute while beeping then turned to go assist R.O.B with Luigi who had fired the fireball. Sonic suddenly heard the high pitch sound of metal meeting metal. Sonic turned to see Marth and Ike both dueling Link who held his own quite well. Link fended off both swordsmen while at the same time throwing in his own attacks. DK suddenly slammed into the ground on his back. Sonic smirked knowingly when he knew the cause. Lucario landed nimbly on the ground also looking a bit winded.
"Sonic, this must end, its getting worse," Lucario warned.
Sonic glanced around to see The Originals had all finally gathered on this one street. Ness sent Toon flying while pummeling Lucas into the ground. Link bashed Marth with his shield as he fended off Ike with his sword. Meta Knight was having a Mach Tornado battle with Kirby who was quickly gaining the upper hand on him. Samus was without her suit luckily, but she proved to be a bit much for both Peach and Shiek, and with Jiggplypuff in the mix it gets crazier. Luigi almost disassembled R.O.B if Mr. Game and Watch hadn't interfered. All the smashers were in a tight spot, and it didn't seem like it was getting better.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!"
And it just got worse…
All the smashers including the originals were stunned in shock then turned their attention a giant white gloved hand. It was twitching so much that it was almost mistaken for his brother who was by his side. Master Hand was clearly so angry that the sun's energy would only be a fraction of the amount of rage that was felt. A universe could be powered on the rage he felt. Crazy Hand just looked on curiously.
"I thought you guys were just gonna hang out," Crazy said confused.
"YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS!"
"Is that a trick question?"
Master Hand decided to deal with him later he turned his attention to the smashers, most of them shaking in fear. The Originals all looked challenging at the Hand. Mario straightened himself up.
"Why it's good to see you again Master, you look well," Mario said.
Master Hand was absolutely shocked that Mario would be so calm. Master was about to go off until he made a strange discovery.
"Wait…that voice…it can't be,"
"Oh, but it is Master. It's good to see you well. Although I wonder why you have all these posers as Smashers. I must say some of them don't meet the standards I thought you set,"
"How dare you show yourself," Master growled.
"Well that's not polite, seeing as I have you outnumbered and outmatched,"
Master Hand suddenly realized that the Original 12 now surrounded him. Master huffed, "You just made things easier," Master Hand snapped his giant fingers that unleashed a blue wave. This hit the Original 12 and suddenly their bodies turned into trophies on the spot. "Alright, wake them up now,"
The Smashers's looked at him unsure, but knowing Master Hand's current mood they followed his orders. In a matter of moments all the bases had been touched and began glowing. However, the Smashers all formed a line and ready with weapons pointed. In a matter of moments the Original 12 sat up from the ground looking around, confused.
"Weren't we just at a restaur-ow, my jaw hurts," Captain Falcon said. The Smashers looked the Originals over carefully and noticed the lack of red eyes.
"Guys, what's going on?" Ness asked looking at his friends. His eyes drifted to a half beaten to death Lucas. "What happened!" Ness asked jumping to his feet and running over to Lucas.
"Don't move!" Falco barked with his gun trained on Ness. Ness stopped instantly, but mostly out of shock. The other Originals shocked.
"Whoa, Falco, put your gun down!" Fox ordered.
"Then nobody moves!"
"Has all that altitude finally gone to your head!"
"My head is fine, its you guys who I think need to get checked,"
"You guys…your all injured…" Link noticed looking everyone over.
DK noticed Diddy's many injuries. He was about to approach when he noticed the tinge of fear in his eyes. DK looked behind him to see nothing that could cause the monkey fear. Then he faced Diddy who kept staring at him with fearful eyes.
"Okay, what's going on?" Samus asked fed up with the weird looks. She was used to be feared, but not by people she cares about. It didn't feel right to her.
"Pika!" called Pikachu. All The Originals turned to the mouse pokemon for it to point. They followed until their eyes fell on Master Hand.
"Oh…so we got caught?" Falcon asked confused.
"No, well yes, but that's not what has us so freaked," Sonic said being the only smasher to speak to the Original without showing anger. "You guys all flipped out at the restaurant and attacked us,"
"You-a mean… we-a…did this to you guys?" Mario asked shocked.
"We didn't do it to ourselves," Popo said.
Ness eyes fell on Lucas who was being supported by Lucario. Out of everyone he looked the worse. Ness felt a lump grow in his throat. "Did I…do that…to you?" Ness asked. Lucas nods weakly. "Oh my gosh,"
"We, but, I don't remember us doing anything like that!" Link exclaimed facing Master Hand.
"We don't have time to talk about it. Let's go home, now," Master Hand said sternly. All the smashers looked to the ground. "The Villains will be found, but we are going now,"
"Does that mean…we wont stay for the festival?" asked Lucas weakly. Master Hand shot around at him, but Lucas could sense it was out of shock then anger. "I mean…we all wanted to go on this trip…we didn't want all that to happen, but…could we at least end things well…since everyone wanted to only have fun…"
Master Hand knew that the request was simple, but at this point not practical. The Smashers caused heavy collateral damage, and if the city didn't know Smashers were tearing the place up they did now. To show up to such a public place would cause chaos and fear. "…Sure…"
The Smashers stood on a rooftop over the festivities. They longed to be among them, but the risk of panic was too great. They simply stood and watched the fireworks shoot into the night sky then explode in a flash of light. The Originals stood off to the side. Partly out of shame and from being shunned.
Ness looked painfully at Lucas who still leaned on Lucario. If Lucas wasn't so tough…there was a possibility he could of killed him and that terrified Ness greatly.
Everyone simply watched the lights in the sky dance, and enjoy this venture. This may be the last moment of peace or happiness they get…
A/N: Sorry this took forever to spit out, but I got the plot going now. This should give everyone a little someting to chew on for a while.
