"Hmmf," grunted Link. He had just mopped the floor with Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, AND Sheik, with team attack OFF! He expected more of a challenge, but his own cunning was too much for his opponents. He began to walk back to the mansion, when a light blue arrow and several slashes caused the Hero of the Tri-Force to double over and collapse in pain.

The defeated Smashers were shocked at the fall of Link. They looked toward the mysterious attacker, and were shocked to see the innocent angel, Pit. Things would have been fine, had Ganondorf not said, "HE'S GONE ROUGE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" The three Smashers made an attempt to run for it, when out of the blue, Ganondorf and Captain Falcon were knocked out by blue and yellow... Pikmin, respectively.

Sheik was scared. As if seeing Link getting ambushed by Pit wasn't bad enough, Ganondorf and Captain Falcon had been taken out by Olimar and... some guy wearing blue. Despite this minor confusion, Sheik continued to make a run for it. She was about to reach the steps of the mansion, when she fell victim of a red Pikmin ambush. Sheik fell in defeat, as she was hauled off by the blue guy. The last thing she saw was Pit, grinning evilly... and the world went black.

Kirby saw these events transpire out the window. He was desperate to tell the Smashers and demand a rescue mission. Unfortunately, the hero of the stars still had his mouth full from ZS Samus' breakfast cinnamon rolls. After confronting every Smasher, Diddy Kong tolerated Kirby's lack of manners, and quickly dispelled the information.

Sometime after, Marth came into the room with a bump on his head and a note in his hand. Mario read the note with some concern. "Dear Smashers, I have an offer. Meet me at the Smash Mansion's basement to make the deal. I expect all of your gold... for the lives of your friends! Sincerely, Alph," Only Wario was stupid enough to ask, "Who's Alph?"

The Smashers approached the basement with extreme caution. Only Kirby, Meta Knight, and Marth took the precaution of bringing sacks filled with 'Plan B'. The basement was dark, and looked pretty abandoned. As if on cue, a light clicked on in the distance. Pit was rubbing his chin evilly, and his four captives layed at his feet. Olimar and the blue guy were nowhere to be found.

Captain Falcon was fiddling with his ropes. He somehow managed to break free, stupidly shouting, "Prepare to die, Pit! FALCON..." He didn't get to finish his battle cry before being bombarded with Pikmin. "Mercy! MERCY!" he screeched. Sheik sighed, "What did I ever see in him?" The Smashers nodded their heads in unison. Captain Falcon was offended, adding, "Hey!" to the conversation.

Pit continued the dealings of the meeting, as Olimar and the blue guy (now known to the Smashers as Alph) appeared by his side. "Where's the gold?" Pit demanded. Kirby, Meta Knight, and Marth eyed one another suspiciously. Alph caught their glances, and made a gesture to ZS Samus. She pushed Mario to the angel, who did quick work of the plumber.

Marth was irritated. Meta Knight was annoyed. Kirby was... oh boy... At the sight of his fallen ally, Kirby dumped out the contents of the bag. There was no gold. There was only a Smash Ball. Everyone, even Pit, Olimar, and Alph, gasped in shock. Without warning, Kirby crushed the Smash Ball, and lunged for the oppressors. The rest was just a violent blur.

When the Smashers headed up from the basement, and the kidnappers had recovered from Kirby's onslaught, Ganondorf, ZS Samus, and Diddy Kong randomly dropped onto the floor, laughing the daylights out of themselves. Realizing this probably looked out of place, they explained the whole thing was an elaborate prank! Pit, Olimar, and Alph had arrived earlier that morning!

Cue the gasps from the crowd, and cue Marth and Meta Knight dumping out their bag contents. Smash Balls once again appeared in front of the Smashers' eyes, bit Pit, Olimar, and Alph were spared this time. It was ZS Samus, Ganondorf, and Diddy Kong who felt the unfortunate rush of near death. While everyone else took in the scene with wide eyes, Mario and Kirby grinned ear to ear, pleased with the universal law of karma.

Pit decided to make lasagna and breadsticks for dinner. It was the least he could do after the recent mayhem. While that was happening, Alph was explaining that in the game, Alph would be a palette swap of Olimar. Captain Falcon was also trying to make amends with a refusing Sheik. And thus, peace was restored in the Smash Mansion... Until the next day. :-)

P.S. Thus ends Captain Falcon X Sheik... Most Likely... ;-) Apologies to those upset at the news...
