Chapter 5
It's Evil Lord Time!

The Evil Lords' flying saucer flew in the direction of two gigantic humanoids that were locked together in a fighting posture out at sea. "According to this research, those two are the Bionis and the Mechonis, two giants that fought each other millennia ago until they died and remained in that position," explained Lord Exaggeratron while looking at holograms of the two dead giants. "Since then, life was appeared on those two giants, which are more or less islands nowadays."

He continued to explain everything they had to know about the Mechonis and the Bionis, and then Scumlord asked, "Which place do you think we should invade first?"

"It's probably best that we don't invade that place," suggested Lord Exaggeratron. "Who knows if those giants will suddenly come back to life and…"

"I'm not asking you for an opinion!" Scumlord angrily said to him. He then took out a coin and said, "Since nobody is offering me their suggestions, I'll make one myself!"

"We haven't even said anything yet," said Lord No-Brain.

"If the result is tails, we'll go to that giant robot-lookalike island, but if head, we'll go for the rocky one," said Scumlord before flipping the coin into the air.

All eyes were on the coin as it spun around in the air. It was falling back down when suddenly Lord What reached forward and caught it in his mouth. "HEY YOU! WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD EAT IT!" Scumlord angrily shouted at him.

Lord What laughed with his teeth closed and then spit it into the air in an arc. Scumlord caught the coin and said, "No more eating it this time, you m****!"

"Why didn't you just let the coin hit the table when he spit it?" Lord No-Brain asked him.

"Because it only counts if I threw it myself!" replied Scumlord. He threw the coin into the air, and it landed onto the table this time. "Head! Good! We go to that stone giant!"

The inhabitants of Colony 9 were living their lives peacefully. Rosalina and her Lumas were taking a walk throughout the place, greeting various people she came across. Even though she hadn't been in the place for a long time, she had become popular and famous throughout the Bionis due to her background and powers. She often used her powers to help people, and combined with her kind personality, it was no wonder that she would be loved by many.

"Rosalina! Good afternoon!" Fiora said to the "space" princess as she approached her from the front.

"Greetings to you, Fiora!" Rosalina said to her.

"Hope you're used to living in this place," Fiora said to her. "With your powers, "I'd imagine that many people come to you to ask for help."

"Oh, I'm perfectly fine with that!" Rosalina told her. "I like helping people! I don't feel bothered by people coming to me often all the time!"

"Maybe you should start a business and make money off your powers," said Fiora.

"There is no need for that," said Rosalina. "I'm perfectly content with using my powers to help people for free! Seeing their happy faces is more than enough of a payment! I already have a job at the library, so there is no need for this."

"How's work there?" Fiora asked her.

"It's great! Children often come to me to read books for them!" said Rosalina with a smile.

Just then, they heard people crying out something, and they turned to see several of them looking and pointing at the sky. They looked up and saw a flying saucer up there. "Is… Is that a UFO?!" asked Fiora in surprise.

Everyone followed the flying saucer as it flew towards the center of the city. Fiora and Rosalina eventually came across Shulk and Reyn, who were following it as well. "Wow! Never would I expect to see one in my whole life!" said Reyn. "Guess this is my lucky day!"

"Let's not be too happy now, because it's likely they're here for the wrong reasons," Shulk told him.

The flying saucer stopped moving when it was in an empty square in the middle of the city, but it remained up in the air rather than coming down. Everyone watched in silence at the flying saucer, waiting for it to do something. Eventually, Lord A's voice was broadcasted from it. "Listen, you Toonerians! We are…"

"Wippy dee dee!" said the voice of Lord What all of a sudden.

"Shut up! I'm making a broadcast here!" Lord A angrily said to him.

"What was that just now…?" wondered Shulk.

"I think I've seen that flying saucer and heard those voices somewhere before…" said Rosalina.

"Ahem… As I was saying, we are the Evil Lords, and we are here to take over your pathetic, little planet, and we are going to destroy your beloved city first!" said Lord A. Upon hearing this, everyone down there gasped in horror.

"I knew they were here for the wrong reasons!" said Shulk.

"So I guess we'll be fighting aliens and save the world soon?" asked Reyn.

"Evil Lords… I've heard of them, and even met them before," said Rosalina after hearing the alien's broadcast.

"Evil Lords? What are they like?" asked Fiora.

"Well, they are… to say… a really weird bunch…" replied Rosalina. "I met them while I was on a civilized planet, and they showed up one day, claiming that they wanted to take over the place…"

"What happened after that?" asked Shulk.

"They tried to do what they claimed, of course, but… they didn't succeed…" continued Rosalina.

"As proof that we are serious about what we are saying," said Lord A, "we're now going to drop bombs all over the place and blow your city to kingdom come! There is nowhere for you to run, so take your time to enjoy your grisly deaths! Hahahahahahaha!"

After saying that, the bottom of the flying saucer opened, and then what looked like rockets fell from it. "Are those… bombs?!" asked Shulk in shock.

Everyone watched in shock as the rockets fell to the ground. They expected them to explode, but nothing happened to the rockets at all when they did so. Everyone looked at the fallen rockets, expecting them to explode sooner or later, but that never happened as well.

The Evil Lords stopped dropping rockets, as they saw that they weren't exploding. "How come they aren't exploding?" asked Scumlord.

"I removed the gun powder inside them after realizing the potential danger of keeping explosives in here," replied Lord No-Brain.

"You i****!" Lord A angrily shouted at him. "That's the point of explosives! You're supposed to fill them with gun powder or whatever exploding elements so that they are of use! You could've told us earlier that you removed them!"

Outside, everyone was confused as to why the bombs didn't explode. "What was that supposed to be about…?" asked Reyn.

"As I was saying," said Rosalina, "the Evil Lords are very clumsy and mess up pretty much everything they do. When they attacked the civilized planet I visited once, we didn't really have to do anything at all. All we really did was watch them mess up their attempts at intimidating and attacking us. Eventually, there was this person who claims to be a space cop showing up to arrest them. They got into a fight which… I'm not sure if you can even call it a fight…

"In the end, the Evil Lords left after thinking they've messed up enough and are too embarrassed to go on… That space cop then claimed that he managed to save us all before pursing them…"

"Seriously…?" asked Shulk, having a hard time believing her story.

"In that case, we'll use the Super Big Bang Cannon against them!" suggested Scumlord. "It's fixed, so why not try it out on them to see how much better it is now?"

All the Evil Lords except for Lord Underestimateron and Lord Oblivion agreed. Soon, the trumpet-shaped cannon appeared at the side of the flying saucer.

Everyone down below watched in horror as the flying saucer tilted a bit so that the cannon was pointing at them, and most of them started to run in fear. "Uh oh… This is bad…" thought Shulk.

However, all that came out from the cannon were Lord No-Brain's "bang, bang, bang," which confused everyone. "What in the world!? Again?!" asked Lord A in shock.

"How predictable," said Lord Hindsight.

"We didn't refill its ammo, and we don't have any more either," said Lord No-Brain.

Everyone looked at the flying saucer, waiting for it to do something else, but it flew away after about a minute of hovering in midair and doing nothing. "I think it's leaving…" said Fiora.

"Told you so…" said Rosalina.

Most of the Evil Lords were frustrated that their attempt at taking over Tooneria had been unsuccessful so far, which wasn't anything new to them. "I can't believe I'm still hanging out with people like you…" grumbled Scumlord. "If I had a team of more competent people, I wouldn't have to be facing such large amount of humiliation and already be the ruler of one of the planets we attempted to take over in the past!"

"I can say the same too!" said Lord A. "You all are an incompetent bunch who can't do anything right! If I were doing this alone, I would've succeeded already!"

"None of you here have the brains to get anything right! If only you people listened to me and allowed me to show you the wonders of my brain, we would've succeeded a long time ago!" said Lord Hasbrain. "But no, you just have to think that your brains are better than mines and use your own ideas instead!"

"You people are a bunch of weaklings," said Lord Underestimateron. "Taking over the world is something so easy that we should've succeeded a long time ago, but because you people are all too weak, you keep on messing up!"

Those Evil Lords argued among each other about who was the best, while the others watched on with no idea about what to do. Lord Oblivion suddenly brought up something that grabbed everyone's attention. "I just remember that we haven't come across Incrediblus yet."

"You're right… Usually by this time, Incrediblus would've caught up with us already to try to stop us, and then we would humiliate him and beat him up," said Scumlord. "I wonder what's taking him so long."

"It's likely because this planet is too big for him to find us, so it's going to take a while for him to find us," said Lord Exaggeratron.

"That is to be expected," said Lord Hindsight.

"Gao," said Lord What with a grin.

"Instead of waiting for him to come to us, why don't we go to him instead for once?" asked Scumlord. "All these failed attempts make me want to beat up someone to vent my anger, and who better than to vent our anger on the person who's been on our trail for so long?"

"Your thought is as good as mine!" said Lord Hasbrain. "I was thinking the same thing as well, though I wouldn't be surprised if you somehow read my mind and said it before me."

"I came up with that idea first, but you both said it before me!" claimed Lord A.

"Prove it, wise guy!" Lord Hasbrain told him.

"All right, enough of pointless arguments! Let start looking for Incrediblus and show him who the incredible ones really are!" said Scumlord.

"Don't you have anything better to do than to watch TV?" Samus asked Incrediblus, who was slouching on the sofa with Luigi, Falco, and Mr. Game & Watch. "Like looking for the Evil Lords so that we can go after them?"

"You are very right in saying that, but we have to know where they are first," Incrediblus told her.

"You've been following them for a long time, so don't you have a way for tracking them down?" Luigi asked him.

"Indeed, I have a device back on the Incredibus that should be able to let me know where they currently are," said Incrediblus as he got off the sofa and went out through the sliding glass door.

"Could've done that earlier, couldn't he…?" said Mr. Game & Watch.

"He obviously got too carried off relaxing with us," said Falco. "With a body like that, I wouldn't be surprised if he spends most of his time eating donuts rather than doing his job."

"You have to give it to him for coming all the way here to catch the Evil Lords, though," Luigi told him.

Duck and Hunt watched as Incrediblus went to the Incredibus, which was still parked at the same spot, and went inside it. Some Smashers who saw him going in there came out to meet him. He came back out a few seconds later with a device that was a metal box with a small satellite dish above it. "What's this?" asked Donkey.

"This is what I have been using to follow the Evil Lords all this time," replied Incrediblus.

"How does it work?" asked Fox.

"Simple, you just crank this lever until it spins," said Incrediblus while pointing to said lever at the side of the box. "After that, the satellite dish will start spinning and scan this planet until it makes a sound to let us know that it found them. The longer you crank the lever, the longer it will spin."

"How long will it take for them to be found?" asked Samus.

"It depends on how far away the Evil Lords are from us," said Incrediblus. "It will take within a day if they aren't far away, but a couple of days if they are far away."

"Seriously…?" asked Falco, not believing what he heard.

"After they are spotted, this screen at the front of the box will show their current location using longitude and latitude," said Incrediblus. "I'll just have to hop on the Incredibus and go after them after that."

"I may not be an expert in technology, but this method strikes me as being rather… primitive…" said Zelda.

"By the way, in order for the Incredibus to fly, it will have to travel at 88 miles per hour before it can take off from the ground," added Incredibus.

"Like the DeLoreanm from Back to the Future?" Diddy asked him.

"No idea what that means…" replied the space cop.

"Why does it have to run first before taking off?" asked Falco. "Can't it just take off on spot?"

"Unfortunately, no," replied Incrediblus.

"And they say all alien technologies are more advanced than Tooneria's…" said Samus.

Incrediblus wasn't the only person who uses that kind of searching device; the Evil Lords also use it. As the evil aliens flew around somewhere in the skies of Tooneria, they hoped that the box with a satellite dish would eventually tell them his current location. Whenever the dish stopped spinning, Lord Hindsight would crank it up to let it spin again.

"Sometimes I think of all the things we could've done, we could've at least steal money from banks…" said Scumlord. "Then we wouldn't have limited funds and buy only cheap products…"

"Why bother with petty theft when you can instead take over the world and make yourself famous overnight from it?" asked Lord A. "Someone as good as me deserves better than being known as a common thief!"

"You're just afraid that you won't be as good of a thief as me," Lord Hasbrain told him, enraging him.

"You arrogant b******!" Lord A said to him. "You think you're better than me?! Remember the time you tried hacking into the central server of Planet Hogiboh to gather vital information that can be used against its citizens, but instead, you pulled up a random video of some guy doing a random, silly trick that anyone can find on the internet and got us busted?"

"Because that video is the vital information!" claimed Lord Hasbrain, trying to prove himself right.

"How so?" Lord A asked him.

Lord Hasbrain hesitated for a second and then said, "Because that video shows the way the government of that planet punishes wrongdoers, which we can use for making people fear us!"

"Well, then let's give it a try, shall we?" Lord A asked him. "If you really think that what we saw that time is the ultimate way for striking fear into people, we'll try it out on Incrediblus, and if it fails, you take the blame for everything wrong in our lives, even if it has nothing to do with you!"

"Bring it! Who's afraid of who?" said Lord Hasbrain fearlessly, or so it seemed.

"Gekgekgek," said Lord What in a manner that sounded like laughing.

Just then, the searching device let out a beeping sound, and then numbers showed up on the screen in front of the box. "Incrediblus's location has been found," said Lord Hindsight.

"Good! Look up the location! We're heading to wherever he is now!" commanded Lord A.

At around the same time the Evil Lords discovered Incrediblus's location, the space cop's searching device made beeping sounds. "The Evil Lord's whereabouts are discovered!" he said. "Quick! Find out what that place is!"

He picked up the box and looked at the longitude and latitude, but since he had no idea what location it was referring to, he showed it to the Smashers, hoping that they would know the answer to this. R.O.B. took the box from him and looked at the numbers. "This location refers to Twoson, a city close to our current location."

"They came to Eagleland already?!" asked Mario in surprise.

"Then we must head there fast!" suggested Incrediblus.

"Wait a minute… Since the location on the screen is fixed, does that mean they are currently in Twoson and not going anywhere, or are they actually moving but happen to be at Twoson when the radar spotted them?" asked Samus.

"The latter," replied Incrediblus. "This device can only show the location they are currently at when it first finds them; therefore, it is possible that you don't find them when you go to the location shown due to them being on the move and have already left."

"Doesn't sound-a too reliable…" said Mario.

"True…" agreed Luigi with a nod.

"So what are we going to do? Go to Twoson?" asked Donkey.

"I'll go check the television to see if they have anything on this matter," said Mr. Game & Watch before rushing back into the house. A few seconds later, he ran back out and said, "Nope, I flipped through all the channels, and there are no live news regarding this. Looks like they're simply flying over Twoson and not actually landing there…"

"Don't you have a better way of tracking them?" Samus asked Incrediblus.

"I have always been using this method to track them, so I'm afraid that I don't have any other way," the space cop told him. "Don't worry; I'm sure we'll be able to find them. At least we know the general location they are in, so we should go to this place called Twoson and see if we can find out anything about them."

"Hey guys! I'm seeing a UFO in the sky!" shouted the voice of Young Link from his room, and he had a telescope in his hand.

The Smashers turned to look at him before looking at where he was pointing at. Incrediblus's eyes widened upon seeing the thing flying in the sky. 'That's… That's the Evil Lord's flying saucer! They're coming this way!"

All the Smashers watched as the Evil Lord's flying saucer headed in the direction of their mansion. The flying saucer did not stop until it was above the mansion, and then it slowly descended while releasing its legs.

However, not all the legs were on the rooftop. Two of the legs were off the edge, so as a result, the flying saucer tilted over and fell to the ground. Much to the surprise of the Smashers, the flying saucer bounced off the ground as if it was a lightweight object. The flying saucer bounced around for a bit before coming to a stop in a, miraculously enough, upright position in the front yard.

The Smashers approached the flying saucer, and Samus asked, "How is this thing not damaged from the fall?"

"Their flying saucer is made from heliumite, a kind of metal that is very light, so falls like that won't hurt it very much," explained Incrediblus. "Things made from heliumite are very light, which allows them to travel at very fast speeds, but at the cost of being easily disrupted by wind and such."

"Didn't know such a kind of metal exists…" said Snake.

"It's probably not something found on your planet," said the space cop.

"Light or heavy, that fall and bouncing around must be very painful for them in there…" said Link.

The Smashers and Incrediblus looked at the flying saucer, waiting for the Evil Lords to come out. It took about a minute, but the bottom of the flying saucer eventually lowered the decagon-shaped table with the Evil Lords seated around it.

All of them except Lord Oblivion got up and faced the Smashers and an angry-looking Incrediblus. "We finally meet, Incrediblus!" Lord A said to the space cop. "We've been looking for you!"

"Evil Lords! We finally meet on this planet!" Incrediblus said to them. "This time, I'm going to arrest you and make sure you do not escape again!"
