Threatening Phone Calls

Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers Brawl or any of the characters.

Summary: Two Smashers make a threatening phone call to Ike. One is a joke (obviously) and the other is a threat. Who made the threat?

Chapter 3: Threatening Phone Calls

"You're just being paranoid Pit." Ash told the angel again for the fifth time.

Once the sun was fully up and all the Smashers were awake, Pit told Ash about the missing clock and the black rose with the note.

"But someone knows my secret..." Pit said in a worried tone.

"Everybody has a secret," Ash told him, "Even Sonic is keeping a terrifying secret from all of us."

"It's probably something embarrassing, but this secret is really important!"

"Again, you're worrying too much."

Sonic came back into the room more irritated than ever.

"Stupid hand! I want to smack it silly!" Sonic yelled.

"What happened?" The Pokémon Trainer asked.

"I told him about last night. I asked him if I could go outside and he threatened me that if I ran outside, I would be kicked out of the game…stupid bastard…"

"Poor little blue hedgehog," Ash mocked.

"Master Hand wants to see you Pit," Sonic told him.

"Uh…okay…"

Pit decided that it would be good to talk to the Master Hand about the threat last night and this morning. He glided out of the room and slammed the door.

Once he was gone, Sonic leaned over to Ash's ear and whispered, "We should play a prank on Ike."

Ash glared at him, "After what happened last night? You're going to be suspected as the one threatening Pit."

"I don't care. I'm still playing match maker."

"Whatever. When and how are we going to do it?"

"When Pit comes back."

The time it took for Pit to speak with Master Hand lasted longer than he wanted it to. Since the threat was directed toward the angel, the Master Hand asked over and over again if he knew who wrote that message.

"If I knew who it was, I would have already reported it to you," Pit said politely. He was one of the few Smashers that spoke politely to the Master Hand. Others included the princesses, Samus, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Meta Knight. Ganondorf lost Master Hand's respect after the Subspace battle. Marth lost his respect last year along with Roy and the others just have no respect for him. The Smashers preferred to speak to Crazy than Master ironically.

"…You're dismissed," Master Hand finally said, "But if this happens again, expect to stay longer than-"

"Oh no, I'm missing my show!" Pit interrupted as he rushed out of the room.

The angel has to come out with a new excuse every time he was called in the room where either Master or Crazy awaited. This excuse though was true since at this time, the anime show Full Metal Alchemist does exist. In America, the show comes on at midnight, but here in Japan (since Super Smash Brothers Brawl originated from here) it comes on early.

The anime is very popular in Japan and is still is today. Recently however, the anime Naruto is taking over, but before the ninja show completely takes over Japan and soon the whole world, the creators of FMA decided to air the show one last time.

Pit, Sonic, Satoshi, Roy, Marth, Kirby, and Zelda are obsessed with the show while others (Link, Snake, and Captain Falcon) don't mind the show while the rest either like or dislike it.

The group would be watching episode thirteen in the huge living room. This technically meant that matches were technically cancelled due to the sheer number of Smashers watching the show.

"I don't want to miss the show!" Pit shouted throughout the hall.

The angel ran at such speed that you would think that he was running as fast as Sonic. He made it to the living room where half the cast was already watching the episode.

"A lot of people here…" Pit mumbled.

Kirby was the first one to notice that Pit was standing in front of the door. Forgetting about the incident last night, the pink puffball bounced over to Pit and explained why there were so many Smashers here.

"According to R.O.B," the puffball began, "This episode is rated a 4.5 out of 5 due to the intense comedy in this single episode."

Kirby's theory was correct as the scene that showed on the huge TV was Mae Hughes talking about his daughter (he put a huge picture of his daughter on whatever you call it) when he was suppose to host the match between the Flame Alchemist and the Full Metal Alchemist. The audience just threw stuff at him resulting in that thing falling down on him. The Smashers either laughed or commented at how stupid Hughes was.

"I already missed the first part?" Pit asked.

"Yeah. Whatever you were doing must have been important. The first part was funny especially when Havoc was talking about cooking the dog-"

"Don't spoil it Kirby!"

Five minutes went by as the group watching the anime. Sonic busted into the room asking if Pit could come with him only to be distracted by the anime. Laughs were heard but there was silence when the fighting scene got serious. After twenty four minutes, the episode ended and the preview was showing. Sonic went back to his job and told Pit to come with him. Before the angel could say anything, the hedgehog dragged him out of the room.

"What's wrong Sonic?"

"We're going to play a prank on Ike."

Pit glared at the blue hedgehog, "Don't you dare-"

"This is for your benefit…and mine…Ash's…and Link's."

Sonic added Link because the hero of Hyrule and the blue haired swordsman have been rivals the first time they encountered each other. While most fights were about who was the best swordsman (which Roy and Toon Link joined in as well. Marth and Pit are staying out of this one) was, Sonic speculated that Link had a sort of crush on Pit. Ash says that this information is false though because of his affection for Zelda. The two then decided that if Ike was with Pit then Ash's theory of Link being straight (Sonic says bi) will be obvious.

"It's a good laugh Pit, and if all goes well, everyone else will be worried too. Ash is going to try to get everyone's reaction on a video camera. If he doesn't he'll ask Read or Die to record everyone's reaction."

Pit had no saying in this since the hedgehog and Pokémon Trainer already had this planned. He however corrected Sonic on the robot's name, "It's R.O.B. and not R.O.D."

"…I knew that…"

The angel would rather not be in any schemes that raised suspicion throughout the mansion, but hey! If it was a joke, then it's a joke, right?

Ike sat silently on his bed doing…nothing! Well, if you count staring at wall as something then he is doing something! He was recalling the incident last night unlike other Smashers who wanted to forget about that night and hope that Falco was okay. The message written in blood that threatened Pit…the note that mentioned that he was someone close to the angel…the black rose…it must have been a sick joke directed only at him. If it was a joke, severe punishment would be to that person if it was someone amongst the Smashers. If it wasn't then it might be a new evil rising.

The silent swordsmen recalled Peach reading a horror book called Secret Admirer to the Ice Climbers, Lucas, Ness, Yoshi, Pichu and Kirby not to long ago. The book was about a senior named Selena who was the star of the school when it came to acting. She one day received a bouquet of dead flowers and a note claiming that she would give up the stage to be with this person forever. Peach would read three chapters and then stop every time to continue it the next night before the younger Smashers went to bed. It was stupid to think that the book had any connection to this joke, but if it was, then the person who did the joke or threat was one of the Smashers.

Ike snapped out of his thoughts when the phone rang. Who could be calling at this time? For all one might know, he could be training which he did ninety percent of the time. If the person calling was some fangirl then he would stab the person who gave his number away (which is highly likely either Sonic or Captain Falcon.)

The blue haired swordsman picked up the phone, "Hello."

The other line was silent until the person asked, "Have you checked that angel's bedroom yet?"

Instant panic struck the usually calm swordsman. What did this person mean by that?

Without thinking, he rushed out his room, stepping on his roommate's servants, which were the Pikmin, as he rushed to Pit's room. There was no one in the room. Evidence that someone came into the room and taken the angel was that the window was opened and the bedroom itself was a mess. Ike still had the phone in his hand and demanded the person where Pit were.

The phone was silent for a moment until the person said, "Come in the kitchen and you'll see what's happening to them."

Ike didn't even reconsider the fact that this phone call might be a joke. He rushed to the kitchen and…

"Hey Ike! What's up!" Sonic asked.

Ike glanced at the scene before him. Sonic had the phone in his hand with a voice changer in another. Pit and Ash were playing with the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon cards and it seemed that Ash was winning (again).

"Where's-"

Sonic cut him off with a laugh with Ash and Link joining in. The hero of Hyrule was hiding behind the robot since the Pokémon Trainer was too lazy to bring to ask it to record the reaction. Convinced by the trio, he asked R.O.B. to record the scene in front of them. The robot thought he was doing a good thing, so he obeyed.

"No one kidnapped anybody!" Sonic declared, "We just wanted to see your reaction."

Ike was stunned at the answer.

"Did R.O.B. get it all on film?" the hedgehog questioned.

"Beside the Pokémon battle that Pit lost to yes," Link answered.

"Recording complete. Please send video to a CD," R.O.B. said in his robotic tone.

"I'll be doing that," Link said as he dragged the robot away, but before looking back at Ike and saying, "That was one of the best moments in my entire life. Keep up the good look."

Ike was still taking in all the information. When he combined the words 'no one', 'reaction' and Link's words, he lost his cool composure. He sadly took that anger out on Pit who had just lost the Pokémon battle with Ash.

"Pit…" he began in a low tone, "Did you intend to piss me off?"

Pit looked at him and sweat dropped, "I have no saying in this. It's all Sonic."

"Pit! Don't give it away!"

"You're the one who came up with the idea of playing a prank on Ike!"

"But you're the-"

"Sonic…" Ike said in a dangerous tone.

Sonic didn't like that tone of voice because it reminded him of Amy Rose's voice when she was angry.

"Come over here so I can slice you in half like those people do in Mortal Kombat…" he threatened as he got his huge sword out. The sword in reality was very heavy but to Ike, it was light as a feather. If someone was hit by it, they would take a lot of damage.

Ash glanced at the scared hedgehog and announced, "Now is a good time to run."

Sonic didn't need Ash's advice as he was already out of the kitchen running for his life. Ike chased after him knowing that he would never catch up to him unless he teamed up with Captain Falcon and Fox.

"Want to play again?" Ash asked.

Pit was about to reply when Sonic's screams were heard along with Ike's cursing which he never did unless someone ticked him off when he was already in a bad mood.

"Maybe later. I'm going to get something to eat."

"Hope there are still cinnabons."

"Knowing Kirby and Yoshi, they probably already eaten it…"

"Along with the rest of the food."

"Yeah."

The two were silent until Zelda came into the kitchen asking why Ike was cursing at Sonic of all people.

"Sonic played a prank that went too far," Ash said simply, "Ike's probably embarrassed that Link saw him in that state and R.O.B. recording the whole thing."

"No wonder Link is staying in his room," the princess of Hyrule stated.

"Can you cook something for us? We're too afraid to look in the cabinet to see Pikmin eating all the food," Ash said in his most sarcastic tone he could muster.

The angel glared at the Pokémon Trainer, "Ash!"

"I might as well," Zelda began, "I was getting a little hungry too."

Ash gave his victory pose. Pit continued to glare at the Pokémon Trainer who just had to be rude to the princess. Good thing she's not Samus. Otherwise, Ash wouldn't of had been able to get away with that kind of talk.

"Sorry for Ash for being rude," Pit apologized to the princess, "He just beat me again at something he's good at, so…"

"Red is like that," she said, "Just like Link sometimes."

Ash did not hear that comment since he was still doing his victory pose. Pikachu came into the kitchen to see his trainer all happy go lucky. The yellow Pokémon soon joined his trainer.

Pit was shocked that he compared Ash to Link, "Explain how Ash is like Link?"

Zelda smiled, "That's for me to know and you to find out."

Pit frowned, "You're his girlfriend, so of course you know."

The princess smile faded, "I wish I knew everything."

"Huh?"

"I feel like he's keeping one secret from me that might ruin our relationship."

Pit was rather confused. He didn't know that Link kept secrets Ash's words that morning of 'Everyone has a secret' struck him. The angel then knew what she was talking about, "I doubt it's something that big. It might be something embarrassing, but nothing that might make you hate him."

Zelda glanced at the angel. When someone else said that, she had usually had her doubts, but whenever Pit said something to her, she always believed him. She thought that it was an angel's power to gain the trust of others like that. She couldn't help but smile at his sincere face when he said that, "I guess your right."

Pit couldn't help but smile back. Out of all the females in the mansion, he liked Zelda the most. She was probably the most understanding of the them all. Samus might have been more understanding, but most of the time, she's quiet and stays out of most conversations. Peach was understanding too, but she's always looking on the bright side of life making him wonder if she could deal with cynical people. Zelda was the one that had that vibe where you know if you asked her something, she would give you a sincere answer.

"I'm going to make the food now," Zelda told the angel in a calm voice.

Pit snapped out of his thoughts and nodded his head. He headed back to the table and noticed that the Pokémon cards that he was playing with were gone. His heart missed a beat. What happens if the person who threatened him yesterday took his cards? Pit shook his head, No! You're just being paranoid Pit!

Satoshi came back from his victory pose with Pikachu and asked, "Where did your Pokémon cards go?"

Pit didn't know what to say. The Pokémon Trainer was confused, "Did you take them somewhere?"

"No…don't you have them."

"Of course not. Did you take them Pikachu?" Ash asked his Pokémon.

"Pika," the Pokémon said as he shook his head.

"That's strange," Ash said as he scratched the back of his head.

Pit would have said something if he didn't notice another black rose pinned at the bottom of the table. On the tip of the thorn was another note. The angel snatched the rose from the table and read the note. He began to shiver slightly that Ash noticed immediately. When the trainer saw the note, he took the note out of the angel's hands and read it to himself.

Turn your back on a set of cards

And you'll forget about it.

Turn your back on your past

And it will hit you really fast.

Signed BFF (Still don't know who I am?)

Ash glanced at Pit. He could see the fear emerging from the angel's body. Looking back at the note, he thought that this might not be a joke.

"I think," Ash began, "We should show this to Zelda."

Pit avoided eye contact with his best friend. Ash noticed this and frowned. Was Pit hiding something from him? No, it might not just be him and from everyone else as well?

Ike was still chasing Sonic throughout the whole mansion. It alerted all the Smashers to get the fuck out of the hallway. Nobody wanted to make or see Ike angry. The first time he was pissed off was during Subspace Emissary when the enemy he was facing along with Meta Knight and Marth got away and almost killed Lucas and Ash. Marth described that anger as 'Homunculi anger' or scarier than Wrath. Sonic just had to piss him off somehow and the only one laughing was Link.

Wario wanted to make it worse by farting in the hallway just to make Sonic slow down and actually get hit by Ike's sword, but he didn't have enough time to do that since the blue hedgehog crashed right into him sending him flying high above the mansion (and causing a hole in the ceiling). Bowser witnessed this and stayed out of the hedgehog's sight. Mr. Game and Watch started making noises that was censored because his dialogue was cut in half due to being two dimensional. You could tell that he was cursing at Sonic for the hole in the ceiling. King DDD actually made it worse for Ike but better for Sonic.

He was showing the Ice Climbers how to play golf with a mallet. He hit the golf ball and it went flying out the window (shattering it of course). He was going to do another ball when Sonic came rushing toward the trio. The penguin king didn't want the game to be ruined, so he timed his swing. When he swung his mallet, it hit Sonic sending him out the window. The hedgehog turned into a star. When Ike caught up to the place, he saw the figure of the hedgehog in the background. He glared at King DDD and stormed off. He was actually going to leave the mansion to try and cut Sonic in half.

"That was amazing King DDD!" Popo declared.

DDD grinned, "Off course. I'm the best when it comes to golf."

"Not that! You actually made Ike go the other direction," Nana corrected.

DDD did not like that statement even though it was true, "Just try hitting the golf ball now."

"Okay!" the Ice Climbers shouted.

Mr. Game and Watch saw the shattered window and beeped at DDD for destroying it. He went to get the tools to patch the window like he did with the ceiling.

"This is seems serious," Zelda said after reading the note again.

"And to think that I thought it was a joke," Ash said.

"Pika."

"…"

The four Smashers were suppose to have a nice meal together but because of the note and the black rose the tension at the table was very suffocating.

"What ever happened to the last note?" Ash questioned the princess of Hyrule.

"Link still has it," she replied it, "I think he'll ask R.O.B. to scan it after we show him this one." Zelda turned to Pit, "So is this the second note you received?"

"The third…" Pit mumbled, "I got one this morning."

"Do you still have it?"

"Yes."

Pit shuffled through his tunic and pulled out the note. He handed it to Zelda. She read it and asked, "What secret is this person talking about?"

Pit didn't answer. Zelda looked at the angel with worry, "Is it something personal."

"I think so…"

"If we knew about Pit's secret then we would know what this person wants," Ash said, "But nobody would tell someone's secret. If this was a joke then they got you to admit it."

Zelda placed both notes in front of her and recalled the one last night. "This person seems to know you very well."

I know… Pit told himself.

"Taking you back….knowing your secret…walking away from the past…has this person met you in the past?" Zelda questioned.

"If I knew who it was, then that person would have already been severely punished from Master Hand."

"That's if it's one of the Smashers. These three notes seem to be someone outside the mansion."

Nothing was said as Pikachu finished eating his Pokémon food that Ash set without the help of the princess of Hyrule.

"We still don't know if Falco's disappearance is connected to these threats," Ash stated the obvious.

"If Falco does not come back tonight then it will be obvious that he is connected," Zelda.

Pit stayed quiet as he listened to Zelda converse with Ash. Why was this happening to him? He didn't remember making any enemies during the Subspace Emissary. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He was positive that he was on everyone's good side. Even Bowser and Ganondorf who were the most ruthless Smashers. He was sure that all the previous Smashers respected him at least. If that was the case, then why was he being threatened now?

"Tomorrow, we'll show Master Hand these notes," Zelda stated.

"No!" Pit shouted. He did not intend to raise his voice, "If you guys show it to Master Hand, then I'll be the number one suspect in Falco's disappearance!"

"Calm down Pit," Satoshi told his friend, "You're not going to be the suspect if the message is directed toward you."

"Fox already suspects me…"

"He jumps to conclusions easily," Zelda assured the angel, "Don't worry about it."

Pit turned away from the two. They didn't understand what situation he was in. Ash and Zelda glanced at each other in worry. It was natural for the angel to be paranoid over something like this, but he seems more terrified than before even though he didn't show it.

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

The four Smashers snapped out of their thought when they heard Sonic's voice. Apparently, he was still being chased by Ike. The hedgehog made it back into the kitchen and hid behind the closest person. That person had to be Pit. Once Sonic was behind him, he felt safe especially when Ike came in. Seeing the blue hedgehog behind the angel made him calm down slightly.

"You stupid hedgehog…" he mumbled.

Pit sighed, "It's best if you put your sword away. We don't want anyone getting hurt."

Ike gave Pit a weird look before putting his sword away, "At least I scared him."

Pit shook his head when he saw Ike walk away. Once the blue haired swordsman was away, Sonic thanked Pit and asked, "How come you didn't confess your feelings?"

Pit glared at the hedgehog, "I thought you promised that you would drop the subject."

"I did? Since when?"

"-red vein- Yesterday."

"Really? I must have forgotten."

Ike wasn't the only one who wanted to kill Sonic at that moment, "You-"

"I don't see how you can like that guy when he's that angry!"

Pit's cheeks flushed a bright pink, "I already told you that I don't like him that way!"

Sonic shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever."

"It's true though! I DO NOT LIKE HIM THAT WAY!"

Ash giggled slightly at the scene that was unfolding in front of him. Zelda smiled slightly. It was obvious to half the Smashers that Pit had a crush on Ike ever since the last battle against Tabuu. She was one of the few witnesses of the final battle since only six people could fight Tabuu at once (and they were chosen by Tabuu himself). She saw the worried look on Ike's face as he watched the battle from a distance. She saw the reaction that Ike gave when Pit was almost killed by Tabuu. She saw the reaction that they both had when Tabuu blew up and Ike caught Pit in his arms. (DDD landed with a big bang. Luigi landed on his face. Sonic and Kirby landed gracefully and Ness landed on top of Lucas). She witness the looks exchanged by both of them after the battle. She knew that they were meant to be together. She just prayed that nothing bad will happen to them when Master Hand finds out. She didn't want to see the miserable faces of her friends again.

"If you weren't in denial then I wouldn't be teasing you," Sonic told him.

"Just shut up!"

Many hours later after the mansion calmed down (which was around 8:00 PM), most of the Smashers decided to go to bed to catch up on there sleep (or rather not to face Master Hand's wrath since he commanded the Smashers to go to bed as soon as they were done eating). Pit, Sonic, and Ash didn't want to go to bed that early, so they decided to play a card game called BS also known as Bullshit. The game is very simple. Whoever had the ace cards went first and you would go in a clockwise order to play down cards that were face down. If you did not have the card that was next like if you had no sevens in your hand, then you would lie that you had them and place the card face down. The game continues until someone runs out of cards. The trick though is that if you lie, you have the risk of someone calling out BS or Bullshit. You are then allowed to flip the card that the player placed face down. If it wasn't the number that they called out, all the cards that were in the center were given to the person who lied. However, if the person is telling the truth when someone called out BS then the person who said BS gets all the cards in the middle. The trick was to have a straight face throughout the whole game. Pit is really good at this game because he can trick people to think that he's either lying or telling the truth and Ash would fall for it every time.

Other Smashers decided to crash for the night while some of the quiet Smashers who were Meta Knight, Mewtwo, Lucario, Wolf, and Samus (in her zero suit outfit) decided to investigate Falco's disappearance before the bird was reported missing. R.O.B. was suppose to help them out, but they decided not to bring him along as R.O.B. was the most loyal member to Master and Crazy. It wasn't the robot's fault though. He was just programmed like that.

Ike decided to stay in his room and think about the incident yesterday. It was hard though because his roommate Olimar was bouncing on the bed with his Pikmin. The reason why he roomed with Olimar was because the little human was very quiet. You wouldn't even know he was there unless you heard the sound of Pikmin. He originally wanted to be roommates with Pit, but Sonic and Ash beat him to it.

All was silent in the room until the phone rang. Ike didn't want to pick up the phone again. If it was Sonic playing a prank on him, he would slice his head off even if it was in front of Pit.

The answering machine picked up and the voice on the other line was indeed not one of Sonic's pranks.

"Hee-hee-hee! If you didn't pick up because you thought this was a prank, you're obviously mistaken. I will only say this once. Stay away from my Pit if you and the rest of the Smashers know what's good for you. Otherwise, you'll end up like Falco and soon the rest of the world! Hee-hee-hee-hee!"

The message ended. Ike was stunned that it wasn't a joke. It was a threat made by the same person last night. Olimar stopped bouncing on the bed when he heard the threat.

"What was that?" Olimar questioned innocently.

Ike decided not to respond to Olimar's question simply because he knew what it was. The first thing that hit him though was to check Pit's room again. He might have been paranoid but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Ike rushed out of him room again. He made it to Pit's room only to hear laughter coming from behind the door.

"This is bullshit!" Ash cursed.

"That's your fault for falling for the same scheme!" Sonic said with a laugh.

"I can't help it if I'm too much for you."

Ike's eyebrow twitched at this remark. What are these teens talking about?

"I WIN AGAIN!" Pit declared.

"Bullshit…"

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

"How can you trick me every time?" Ash questioned with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"Because you're gullible," Sonic replied.

"I quit!"

"Forfeiting again?"

"I never win this game anyway! Can we play another game?"

"Tomorrow. The girls hog all the games in their room," Sonic stated.

"What would we play tomorrow?" Pit asked.

"It has to be something scary."

"Clue Murder."

"Which one?" Sonic questioned.

"The Simpson one."

"They should make an anime one."

"Which anime?" Pit asked.

"Bleach. It should be Who killed Aizen?"

"And the characters would be?"

Satoshi started to crack up, "Hinamori as Mrs. White. Rukia as Ms. Scarlet. Soifon as Ms. Peacock. Ichigo as Colonel Mustard. Ishida as Professor Plum and Toshiro as Mr. Green."

That last one made all three of them laugh.

"Toshiro? The calm short captain as Mr. Green?" Sonic asked in between his giggles, "He should be Ms. White! He's the one with the white hair!"

"Think about his personality," Ash said with a grin.

"If Aizen is the bad guy though, wouldn't everyone be happy that he's dead?" Pit asked.

"Exactly!"

The laughter continued before Pit asked, "Are we playing BS again?"

Ash stopped laughing and started yelling at the angel. A string of curse words were heard, but he could have been cursing at Sonic.

"Stop fighting you two!" Pit yelled.

Ike couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself. These three were some of the loudest teens he had ever met. He slowly made it back to his room. He was unaware of the stalker waiting for him to leave the hallway so he could listen to the angel's voice.

Outside the mansion, Meta Knight, Mewtwo, Lucario, Wolf, and Samus waited for Falco to return. If he really was turned into a trophy then they would know. There wasn't enough evidence that Falco vanished. Mewtwo kept using his psychic powers to try and contact with Falco. There were no results.

"Falco is gone," Mewtwo stated.

"I don't feel his aura," Lucario added.

What the two Pokemon said was correct. Falco was nowhere to be seen.

"We should report a missing report to Master Hand tomorrow," Samus stated.

"Who knew that bird boy would vanish without a fight," Wolf said in his gruff voice.

Meta Knight faced the wolf and asked, "Aren't you friends with him and Fox?"

"Not even close. We're more of a rival than anything else. What happens to Fox now is none of my business."

"You saw that now," Mewtwo began, "But when Fox starts attacking Pit, what will you do?"

"Someone else will end up stopping him from doing any violent acts toward the angel," Wolf said calmly.

"We can all rely on Ike to protect him," Samus said with a hint of sarcasm in it.

"We should be focusing on who wrote that message," Meta Knight stated, "Instead of stating the obvious."

"But you probably think it's cute to see your second rival infatuated with Ike," Samus teased.

"Tch."

Meta Knight saw Pit as a rival ever since he clashed swords with him. They were usually compared with each other due to the fact that they have the same style (in aerial combat) and the color of their wings. Meta Knight had bat like wings and usually called the devil while Pit was the angel with his looks and personality.

"Who could have written the message?" Lucario asked Mewtwo as he tried to use his psychic powers to go back in time slightly to see who wrote it.

After five minutes, Mewtwo shook his head, "I tried seeing the scene again, and it went by too fast."

"Could have been Sonic," Wolf suggested.

"Sonic wouldn't play a cruel joke on Pit or Red," Samus told him.

It was true. Sonic saw Pit and Ash as his true friends at this mansion. He would do anything to protect them and of course, he wouldn't play horrible pranks on them like he did with Ike this afternoon.

"So it has to be one of the fast characters," Wolf suggested.

"I'll try again…" Mewtwo mumbled.

He tried to recall the scene before Peach's scream. It was hard to see the two figures. He was certain that one of them was Falco. The other one was surrounded in shadow. It was like the shadow knew what Mewtwo was trying to do and blocked his image from his mind. He saw the scene where the shadow turned Falco into a trophy with some a blast of darkness that wasn't from the gun that Bowser and Wario used to turn the Smashers into trophy. This power was much darker, more powerful, and more sinister. When the blast hit Falco, Mewtwo was forced to quit using his psychic powers.

"What happened?" Lucario questioned seeing the clone Pokemon in slight pain.

"I saw Falco being turned into a trophy with this negative energy…it was so strong that I could the pain that Falco was feeling."

The Smashers looked at each other and then back at Mewtwo.

"This is quite interesting," Wolf began, "For someone with psychic powers that cannot repeat the past scene again."

"It's not that I can't repeat it," Mewtwo protested, "It's the fact that I feel that the shadow saw me and attacked me as well."

"The shadow seeing you in a flashback? Get real."

"It's true."

The five Smashers were quiet for a moment until an explosion was heard followed by three screams. Lights were turning on when they heard a scream. The five Smashers knew who's scream that was and rushed to the room immediately. Chances were that the window's were closed, so they had to go through the hallway.

Ike was the first one out of his room with Olimar on his back to check to see if Pit, Sonic, and Ash were okay. When he reached the room, the outside of their doorway was pitch black. Something must have blown up.

"Are you three okay?" Ike asked as he kicked down the door since the doorknob seemed to be jammed.

"Nobody was hurt!" Sonic answered, "We're just shaken!"

"That's the last time I'm opening up a present that is signed anonymous," Pit complained.

Ike looked around the room. The cards they were playing with were scattered everywhere. The whole room was a mess, but not from the explosion. Only the outside of the room was damaged. Ash was huddling close to Pit who seemed the most terrified one of the three.

"What happened?" he asked sternly.

The other Smashers came from all directions asking what happened and if anyone was hurt. Sonic explained what happened.

"Someone sent Pit a present that was signed anonymous. We were stupid enough to open the gift to see a time bomb in it. I through the present out the door before someone got hurt and that's why the hallway is black outside.

Pikachu saw his trainer scared and ran up to comforted him. Pit was shaking slightly.

"And of course the same person left a black rose and a note," Sonic continued, "The note was blown up along with the rose, but it said…

One Smasher is gone.

But I'm not done.

Soon another Smasher will disappear.

But it will not satisfy me yet.

If you liked my present then

Wait until the next time.

I'll give something to you that

You'll die for.

Signed BFF~"

"How can you memorize what the person wrote?" Ike questioned having his doubts.

"You make it seem like I'm dumb. I'm positive that was what the note said and I'm positive it was more poetic than ever."

Pit looked at Ike and mumbled, "What he quoted is similar to what was written…"

Mr. Game and Watch saw the damage of the hallway and beeped at everybody before getting the tools he needed to fix the hallway and the door that Ike kick down.

The Smashers glanced at each other. First a threat written in blood telling Pit to beware along with a note and a black rose. For a few Smashers who knew about all the notes that Pit received, the missing alarm clock, the missing Pokémon cards, and now a bomb threat? They came to one conclusion.

Pit was being stalked.

The stalker was among the group of Smashers and when he saw the terrified look on Pit's face. He grinned. Like I said Pit. I'm closer to you than expected.

Me: TBC with 6658 words. Notes!

1. Read or Die is an anime series about a girl who is more than just a bookworm. I'm not explaining it since I never watched the series myself. Check wikipedia.

2. Secret Admirer is a Fear Street book written by RL Stine. The book was simply amazing and Pit is put in the same situation before I read the book, so it's quite ironic. The ending has a twist like who the stalker is in this…maybe not. It depends on your imagination.

Nothing much was changed this chapter really...just grammar and so on.
