Summary: Sonic takes Pit, Ash and Ness to Isle Delfino for a day outside the mansion. Things don't go to well though when the stalker decides to follow them and take Pit with him. Will Sonic be able to protect Pit? And what about Ash and Ness? Will they be the next trophy?
Chapter 5: Vacation Gone Wrong
Early the next morning, Sonic woke up and got ready for the day. He wasn't going to be in the mansion with the suffocating atmosphere today. He was going to have a positive spirit along with Pit and Ash, and nothing was going to ruin that.
"WAKE UP YOU TWO!" he yelled.
Pit woke up instantly. Ash's snoring was louder than the hedgehog's voice, so he didn't hear him.
"What time is it?"
"Time for you to get a watch," Sonic told him.
That statement made Pit wide awake as he rubbed his eyes, "It's not my fault that my alarm clock was stolen."
"Yeah…"Sonic glanced at Ash who started to giggle in his sleep. The hedgehog was rather worried about him. Was he having a…
"I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU GARY!" Satoshi shouted in his sleep. "ESPECIALLY YOUR GIRTH!"
"-red vein- Get the fuck up!" Sonic yelled as he kicked Ivysaur into Satoshi forcing them both to wake up. Ash rose up and asked in panic, "WHAT HAPPENED?"
Sonic sighed, "Get your ass out of bed. We have to leave ASAP."
"Why?" Pit asked as he yawned.
"R.O.B. isn't blocking the door at the moment. If we hurry up and get ready, we can take Ness with us and book."
Both teens understood and got ready as fast as they could.
"And you guys," Sonic continued, "You might want to wear something else. We don't need anybody chasing us."
Pit stared at the hedgehog, "If I change my clothes then I'll be defenseless! You know I can't use my arrows or anything Palutena gave me if I'm not wearing this."
"Then wear something over it."
"That would look awkward."
"Get use to it."
"You two are making too much noise."
Both were silent until Sonic said, "I should go get Ness now."
He opened the door to leave and saw a package at the door. The three Smashers looked at each other with worry.
"Hope it's not from your stalker Pit…" Satoshi mumbled.
"Sonic?"
Sonic took the package and read the tag. He grinned, "It's not for you Pit. It's for Ash. It's from somebody named Gary Oak."
Pit and Ivysaur gave Ash that look. Ash blushed slightly as he walked over to Sonic and the package from him.
"Be quiet! What's wrong with getting a present from a friend?"
"Your boyfriend," Sonic corrected.
"Be quiet! You don't even have anyone!"
"Hey! You admitted it!"
"Please go and get Ness and the camera now."
Sonic glanced over at the angel before zooming out of room. The Pokémon Trainer took the time to open his present. Inside revealed a yellow Hawaiian shirt.
"Nice shirt," Pit complimented. To Ash though, it sounded like he was being sarcastic.
"Whatever. Gary doesn't know what I like…"
"But he knew you were going to an island, so-"
"He just sent over a matching outfit so that if we ever went to Isle Delfino together…just the two of us…then he wouldn'y be the only one who looked dorky in his pink one."
Pit noticed that there was a card next to the shirt. He took it and read it. When he finished, he grinned, "You really are dating."
"I told you that when I came back," reminded the Pokémon Trainer.
"Oh yeah…"
"I don't need Sonic knowing this. He would tell everyone about my sexuality and I'd be punished by Master Hand."
"I know, I know. Don't remind me."
Nothing was said as Ash changed his clothes for Brawl into his Hawaiian outfit. He complained about Ash not sending matching shorts. He was going to use his old ones that looked dilapidated until Pit offered him his shorts.
"Pit," Ash began, "You need those shorts more than me since you have more fans and stalkers."
"Don't remind me. Besides, I have two of the same pair."
"Works for me."
Pit handed one of the pairs to Ash and got the other one. The angel began changing when he heard a big bang coming from the third floor. (Pit, Ash, and Sonic live on the fourth floor of the mansion due to the fact that Pit likes high places as well as Sonic).
"So much for staying quiet…" Ash said with a sigh as he called back Ivysaur to his Pokéball.
Sonic came barging in as soon as Pit started stripped.
"Are you guys ready?" the hedgehog asked with an unconscious Ness in one hand and the camera in another. Upon seeing that both boys weren't ready yet he closed the door slowly, but not before taking a picture of Pit in the nude.
"…I'm going to drown that hedgehog…" Pit mumbled in a dangerous tone.
The four Smashers left at exactly 6:00 in the morning because R.O.B. was coming to their room and fast. Sonic had to throw Ness at the robot to knock it over. He then picked up the boy who had just woken up and sped off. Pit and Ash followed him soon after telling the hedgehog to wait up. Pit decided to wear his regular Smasher clothes while Satoshi wore the Hawaiian shirt that Shigeru gave him.
The ship almost left without the four Smashers, but they did make it in time thanks to fastest thing alive.
"I didn't even get to shower…" Ash complained.
"You can clean yourself at Noki Bay," Sonic told him firmly.
Pit watched Ness get up (since Sonic threw the boy onto the ship) from the landing. He looked around and asked, "Where am I?"
Pit sighed, "This was a bad idea after all."
"No it's not," Sonic insisted.
"He's still in his pajamas."
"…I'll be right back."
Sonic zoomed inside the ship and came back with a short sleeve shirt and shorts, "He can wear this."
"Where did you get that?" Pit asked.
"In the locker room."
So he stole them...
"What are we going to do with his pajamas?" Ash questioned.
"We throw it overboard. Leave no evidence that we are on board."
"What happened to the innocent hedgehog?"
Once Ness was fully awake, Pit explained the situation to him. The psychic boy understood completely and actually wanted to join in on the fun. He took the clothes from Sonic and changed from his pajamas to the more comfortable clothing. There was only one problem though.
"What do I do about my underwear?" Ness asked innocently.
Pit and Ash turned to Sonic who chuckled, "Change it when we get back."
Sure enough, around 8:00 AM, the Master Hand called another conference to discuss the disappearance of another Smasher. Most of the Smashers were already awake from the noise that Sonic made two hours, so they weren't that tired as others were.
"I have an important announcement to make!" Master Hand began, "Recent reports from Kirby and Meta Knight is that King DDD has vanished as well."
The Smashers minus Kirby and Meta Knight gasped. The Ice Climbers were the ones shocked by this news the most.
"What happened?" Luigi questioned them in a scared tone.
"We found his mallet last night," Meta Knight explained calmly, "There was another black rose and a note that must have been addressed to Pit."
Meta Knight handed the letter to Master Hand as the big hand read it. (Don't ask me how the Master Hand can read it without any eyes). He then looked up at the Smashers and asked, "Where is Pit?"
Everyone glanced around to realize that he was nowhere to be found.
"Sonic, Red, and Ness aren't here either," Diddy Kong stated.
"And R.O.B. and Lucas…" Lucario added.
"EVERYONE!"
That was Lucas rushing into the conference room with a note in his hands, "Those four…those four…"
Lucas tripped on his own feet resulting in the note floating into the air. Master Hand caught it and read it.
Hey Master Hand! What's up! If you're reading this then you'll know that I'm gone along with Pit, Ash, and Ness. My whereabouts are simple. I have taken the three to Isle Delfino for a deserved vacation for one day. I knew there was going to be another conference, so I decided this trip after you told R.O.B. to keep an eye on us. Well, the robot failed his mission and is currently trying to get up from that position I set him in. We'll be back around midnight. I ask for all the Pokémon to fix our room while we're gone. That's all I got to say. We have to go now or we will miss the ship. See ya!
From the Fastest Thing Alive,
Sonic the Hedgehog
PS: I got your credit card information from R.O.B. so if you're wondering where the money went, I used it to get food and souvenirs. I'll pay you back one day.
If the window was opened, there would have been a huge gust of wind in the room. Crazy noticed that his brother was visibly turning red from anger. Crazy Hand gave the Smashers a signal to run for their lives since Master Hand was going to blow. The Smashers didn't have to be reminded because they saw the note being crushed in his gigantic hands. The fast Smashers had it easy as they just booked. The slower Smashers though had a harder time reaching the door with the speedy Smashers pushing past them.
Once they were all gone, Crazy decided that it was best to return to his room. Once the left hand was gone, Master Hand exploded in anger cursing the heavens at Sonic.
"DAMN YOU SONIC! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"
Sonic was going to be punished when they got back…
Sonic sneezed twice when the ship was about to reach the dock.
"Someone must be talking about you," Pit said.
"If you sneeze twice, then it's not a good thing," Ash added.
"I don't need you guys telling me that."
"At least we're here!" Ness cheered.
The group looked to see the small island. It was indeed beautiful as it was in the virtual world. The major difference was that there was a Piñata statue in the middle of the city and it was huge!
Sonic did his trademark whistle upon seeing the sights, "This place may have water surrounding it, but it sure is beautiful."
"No kidding."
"What is that?" Ness asked as he pointed to a group of Piñatas and Nokis at the dock. All had a notebook of some sort with a pen.
The three Smashers sweat dropped.
"Crap. More fans…" Sonic said with a sigh.
"We got to get out of here before they bury us among them," Ash said.
"How are we going to get away?" Pit asked.
Sonic looked at Ash who looked back at him. The two nodded. Ash got out his Pokéball and called out Charizard.
"We're flying Pit," Sonic answered, "Lead me to the Pinna Park entrance. Ash, you can go wherever you want to go. We'll meet at Sirena Beach around 5:00 PM."
"Got it."
Satoshi jumped on Charizard and took Ness' hand. They flew over the crowd to the Noki Bay entrance. Pit grabbed Sonic by the spine and flew to Pinna Park with the blue hedgehog screaming the whole way when he touched the water numerous times because Pit was very serious about wanting to drown him but decided that torturing him would be better.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Sonic cried out.
"I won't drop you, idiot so shut up!"
Back at the Smashers mansion, the Master Hand finally calmed down, but when he did, he was thinking of all the ways to punish Sonic when he got back from the trip. Most of these ideas were unpleasant. Crazy being the more thoughtful one of the two decided to send two Smashers to retrieve them. The two Smashers were Ike and Mario. Mario because he knew Isle Delfino by heart and Ike because in Crazy's POV, he was the closest friend to the teen Smashers.
"And that is your mission," Crazy said finishing his explanation, "Will you do the mission?"
Both Smashers agreed to the mission. They couldn't say no because if they did, when Sonic came back with the other three Smashers, anyone that was involved would be punished.
Mario was still hesitant when he agreed though because he DID NOT want to bring back his rival from a more severe punishment. He would have rather watched the blue hedgehog get punished from a distance when he got back instead of lowering the severe punishment.
"That is all. Dismiss."
The two Smashers turned to leave when Crazy Hand announced, "Take the teleporter in the intercom room! You have no time to waste!"
The two Smashers obeyed as they left the room, but when they did, Mario shouted, "Why would I want to help Sonic again?"
Ike turned to him and sighed, "You must really hate Sonic."
Mario decided not to answer that question. While he didn't hate the hedgehog, anyone could agree that he was…a bit out of control ever since he joined the Smashers. Ike took the silence though as a yes.
The two continued to the intercom room, but when they reached the teleporter room though, they realized that the teleporter was already activated. The two Smashers looked at each other and then back at the teleporter.
"Who was here before us?" Mario asked.
We switch back to Pit and Sonic who were at Pinna Park. Since Sonic didn't want Pit to fly all the way to Pinna Park and the angel was getting tired anyway, they went inside the cannon that shot them to the park. Sonic landed directly in the sand while Pit landed on top of him. The blue hedgehog cursed at himself for being the first one to be shot out of the cannon.
"Sorry Sonic," Pit apologized as he got off of the hedgehog and pulled him out.
Sonic coughed up some of the sand as a response.
"Why did you want to come here?" the angel questioned after Sonic recovered from the landing.
"It's the only place where there isn't that much water," Sonic stated, "Beside Sirena Beach, but there's nowhere to run in that hotel, so…"
"Piñata Village has almost no water," Pit corrected.
"The place is too damn small," Sonic said quickly, "This place is the only place I can truly relax."
"So it's all about you then…"
"Not really. The money is on me, and the camera…CRAP!"
"What?"
"Ness has the camera!"
"Now I can't take pictures!"
"Oh well. Ness will get us good pictures of Noki Bay."
"Who cares about that place…"
Pit groaned as a response. Sonic was going to be moody for the rest of the day if he didn't think of something fast.
"Forget about the camera and let's just have fun," Pit told him in an encouraging tone.
Sonic looked at him and sighed, "Whatever."
"You can choose the first ride we go on. I hope he doesn't choose the roller coaster."
Sonic's instantly perked up, "Okay! Let's ride the roller coaster first!"
"Okay…Shit!"
Before Pit could even blink, Sonic took Pit by the arm and zoomed into the amusement park. They were unaware that the stalker followed them into the amusement park wearing a black cloak that hid his appearance.
Ash and Ness had it easier. After Charizard flew over the crowd, they landed in the middle of the Noki Bay Rainbow. Once they looked up, they were teleported to Noki Bay. Once there, Ash withdrew Charizard and called out Squirtle due to the fact that Charizard was weak against water.
"What are you going to do?" Ash questioned Ness.
"I think I'll go exploring in the ruins and then meet you back in that cave."
"Fine by me. I'm going to take a shower."
"There's a shower in that cave?"
"Not a mechanical one, but the waterfall acts as a shower, which is fine by me. There's also some soap in the cave as well as towels."
"I get it. I'll meet you there soon. You better be done though when I go inside."
"Okay."
Ness floated over to the ruins as Ash hopped on his Squirtle and ordered him to swim over to the cave that was behind the waterfall.
There he stripped his clothes off and stood close to the waterfall. The waterfall poured down on the teen, but he didn't drown in it because he had experience of training under waterfalls in Hoenn when it really counted.
"This feels so good!" Ash announced.
Squirtle glanced at his trainer and agreed before jumping out of the cave to go for a long swim.
The Smashers were unaware of it, but there was someone spying on them. He appeared in a black cloak…wait! Isn't this the same guy stalking Pit and Sonic or is it someone else?
"That was one of the best rides I've ever been on!" Sonic declared as the two continued walking throughout the park. "Pit? Is something the matter?"
"The ride was the problem…"
The two Smashers did go on the roller coaster ride and when they did, Sonic had a blast. Poor Pit didn't though. He got really dizzy instead and threatened to hurl all over the blue hedgehog if they didn't get off the ride, so after the roller coaster went around the track three times, they were forced to get off. (It would have went five rounds total). Sonic had to help the angel out of the seat and steady himself on the land.
"Seriously Pit. How can you not like fast rides?" Sonic asked annoyed that he had to get off.
"I'm not like you…Sonic…" Pit said weakly.
"I guess you're right. I bet Ash could tolerate it."
"Ash and I are two different people…don't compare me to him…"
"Okay! Okay! What are we going to do now since you're basically wasted?"
"I just want to rest for a bit."
Sonic allowed the angel to rest. He guided him toward the Pinata tree (the one with the single pear) and placed him near the root of the tree.
"I'll go get something to cool you off," Sonic said as he sped over to a nearby soda machine.
Pit sighed. He shouldn't have ever agreed to ride the roller coaster. He didn't want to see Sonic all depressed though…
He brought his arms back toward his head and rested on the bark of the tree. It wouldn't take long for Sonic to come back. Pit told himself.
He sighed as he thought about the events of the previous days. Who was threatening him and why was this person targeting the other Smashers? If he was the one that is after, then why go to the length of making the other Smashers disappear. The only thing it did was cause the Smashers but mainly Fox to suspect that he was the one behind it.
If it's that person…then maybe…I might have a chance… Pit thought to himself. He shook his head. No I wouldn't! He's on a different level than me!
Pit felt something cold against his forehead. He snapped out of his thoughts and jumped back a little.
"Cold enough for ya?" Sonic asked him. He was holding a 7Up can toward him and had a Pepsi can in the other.
Pit said nothing as he accepted the soda can. He was about to open it when he saw the look on Sonic's face. If Sonic was playing poker, he would lose easily. The angel grinned as he opened the soda can in Sonic's direction resulting in the soda squirting him.
"COLD!"
Sonic fell on his ass coughing up any soda that he accidentally swallowed causing Pit to just laugh at the current state he was in.
"What would work on Ash won't work on me Sonic," Pit scolded.
"Dammit…"
Sonic intended to hose Pit with his soda substance when they both heard a scream coming from the main entrance of the amusement park. The hedgehog gave the gesture for Pit to stay back as he checked to see what the commotion was about. When he did, he saw a black figure that was heading toward them at a fast speed. Before the hedgehog could react, the cloaked figure rammed right into him sending him flying. His soda flew out of his hands and into the pool of the pirate ship ride. The hedgehog fell into the pool soon after. Pit made an attempt to go over and help him, but before he could though, the cloaked figure grabbed the angel by his angel wings and ran off. The only thing that Pit could do was scream Sonic's name.
"Pit!" Sonic called out as soon as his head was above the water.
The cloaked figure was moving at a fast speed, but Pit wasn't going to let him be taken away easily. He couldn't reach his bow in the position he was being carried in. He activated his angel wings to try and fly in the other direction that the cloaked figure was going in, but that didn't help much since the cloaked figure responded by stopping and punching the angel in the stomach temporarily stunning him.
"Things are getting interesting, so it's best if you don't struggle," the cloaked figure said in a threatening tone.
Pit groaned in pain as he was forced to stop struggling. The punch was incredibility powerful. His whole body was paralyzed.
The cloaked figure grinned under the cloak and jumped high into the sky. Sonic knew that the cloaked figure wasn't leaving anytime soon. By analyzing the body language of the figure, the blue hedgehog determined that he wanted to fight Sonic one on one and the battle would take place above the Ferris wheel.
Sonic jumped out of the water and raced to catch up only to realize that he had to go around in order to get above the Ferris wheel since the cloaked figure did something to the Ferris wheel as soon as he passed it which included speeding it up to the point of it not being safe to ride.
The hedgehog looked up at him. The cloaked figure was already at the top due to his high jump and wasn't leaving. It was then that Sonic knew that it was the stalker was going to use Pit as some sort of hostage when he saw the cloaked figure tie Pit up on the pole at the very top above the Ferris wheel.
This isn't good… Sonic thought to himself. He prayed that someone would help him, but he knew that help wouldn't come. He had to protect Pit now or he would surely be slain by Ike when he got back to Smashers Mansion with Ash and Ness.
Ness wasn't really enjoying himself. The ruins were kind of boring after using his PK Thunder to hit the switch that make the walls appear. It was cool at first but after hitting the switch a fifth time, it got boring. The boy decided to float to the top of the ruins and meet Ash inside the cave. There was a hole at the top of the cave where anyone could jump inside and surprise people. Ness intended to surprise the Pokémon Trainer, but Ash was already done taking a shower and drying himself off with a towel.
"That shower felt so good!"
Squirtle came back from the swim. The turtle Pokémon was smiling due to the fact that he had a good swim enjoyed playing with the Nokis.
The Pokémon Trainer put his clothes back on and was about to call Squirtle to his Pokéball when he turned his head toward the boy to see Ness with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Ash questioned.
Ness said nothing as he sat himself on the table which was in the middle of the room, "It's nothing…"
Ash grinned evilly, "You were thinking about Lucas were you?"
Ness looked at the teen in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Lucas. You were thinking about him, were you?"
Ness nodded his head, "It would have been nice if he came along with us as well."
Ash sighed, "If Sonic didn't make that much noise in the hallway then we would have been able to take more people with us."
There was silence between them before Ash quickly said, "Maybe not. We would have attracted too much attention."
"That's what I was thinking, so then why…"
"Sonic wanted your camera."
"He could have taken it."
"Sonic's not a thief. He's a kidnapper," Ash said with a laugh.
The two laughed at the joke but soon stopped when Ness said, "I wanted to thank you."
It was Ash's turn to be confused, "What for?"
"For taking care of Lucas when I was…you know."
"In trophy mode?"
"Yeah. I thought my sacrifice would be in vain, but I guess it wasn't when you came along and helped him out."
Ash smirked, "That's what friends are for, and I couldn't leave a little boy alone when the Primids outnumbered us thousand to two."
"You didn't even fight."
"I could if I wanted to…" Ash mumbled. His face turned dark for a brief second as he mumbled, "If I did then I might actually hurt someone though…"
"What?"
"It's nothing!" Ash said waving his hand in the 'Don't worry' gesture. He stopped instantly when he felt someone nearby. He turned toward the waterfall and glared at it asking, "Whose there?"
The cloaked figure decided that it was pointless hiding and appeared in front of the cave. Ash jumped back slightly along with Squirtle.
"Hiding just won't do when you're around," the cloaked figure said.
"Who are you?" Ash questioned.
"Just someone that's going to turn you into trophies for my master plan."
"What?"
The cloaked figure didn't have to explain anything as he got out a sword that turned out to be a beam sword, "You might want to prepare yourselves."
"How the hell did he get a beam sword?" Ash questioned as Squirtle moved in front of his trainer.
"So the stalker was among us…" Ness mumbled as he got out his homerun bat out.
"I wouldn't say I was one of you," the cloaked figure hinted as he attacked Ness.
Ness blocked the blow with his homerun bat in the nick of time. Both jumped back when Ash ordered his Squirtle to use water gun to blow away the cloaked figures cloak. The turtle Pokémon fired a blast of water from its mouth. The cloaked figure dodged it successfully to the point where Squirtle changed the direction of the water gun. The cloaked figure was focused on protecting his identity that he was leaving himself wide open to many attacks. The water gun ended up hitting most of the vases in the room. Gold coins as well as two blue coins appeared when certain vases were it.
"PK THUNDER!"
Ness fired his PK Thunder at the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure jumped resulting in the thunder technique and the water gun to cancel out.
"We almost had him!" Ash yelled.
The cloaked figure glanced at the two Smashers and grinned under the cloak, "I really have to take you guys seriously now."
It took Sonic officially fifteen minutes to reach the top of the Ferris wheel. That gave the cloaked figure enough time to successfully tie up the stunned angel. Pit didn't have enough time to fight back due to the punch in the stomach. It also gave the two time to exchange a few words.
"Why…" Pit began, "Why are you doing this?"
The cloaked figure turned toward Pit and grinned, "You should already know the answer Pit."
Pit shook his head, "I don't understand…"
The cloaked figure walked over to the angel and sighed. He removed his hood temporarily revealing his face. Pit was flabbergasted.
"Now do you know why I'm doing this?"
"It can't be…you…"
The stalker put his hood back on and sighed, "I knew you would have that reaction when you saw me. Brings back old memories."
The cloaked figure grinned when he saw Sonic making it inside one of the seats in the Ferris wheel.
"Because you've forgotten about me or rather you don't care about me, you're going to see one of your friends turned into a trophy in front of your eyes."
"Stop! I order you not to do it!" Pit shouted suddenly regaining some confidence but it fell back down when he realized that this person would not listen to him anymore.
Once the seat made it to the top, Sonic jumped off it and landed on the small platform.
"Dammit! I am never going to use Mario's method ever again!" Sonic complained.
Sonic took forever because he attempted to reach the top of the Ferris wheel by doing the same thing Mario did in Super Mario Sunshine. However, without Fludd to turn the gates around, the hedgehog was stuck in one place that pissed him off to no end. He couldn't wall kick either since the wall had water all over it making it slippery. In the end, Sonic used the spring that he kept with him to boost his jump from the bottom of the Ferris wheel.
"The shows over pal! Release Pit now!" Sonic ordered.
The cloaked figure grinned, "Oh really? I think it's curtains, for you!"
The cloaked figure got out a beam sword to Sonic's surprise. He frowned, "That's not fair! I have no weapon!"
At this time, Sonic would have expected the angel to yell out, "Fight with your fists like you always do!" He didn't get any reply. The hedgehog saw the stunned expression on Pit's face. The stalker must have done something to him. Sonic thought to himself. He won't get away with this!
The cloaked figure decided to attack first. He lashed at the hedgehog with his sword. Sonic dodged it. It was then did he realize that Pinna Park looked way different. Everything was purple except the sky which was a maroon color. The Ferris wheel and everything and everyone were gone. The only thing left was a few small platforms and the pole that Pit was tied up to. The setting looked like a stage created by the player but with a very dark theme.
"You're fighting in my territory now," the cloaked figure said.
"Tch."
Sonic and the mysterious person clashed but Sonic was at a disadvantage since he had no weapon to fight with. The cloaked figure kept using his sword. Sonic kept dodging it. He waited for the stalker to use a smash attack or a special move. If he did then Sonic would know who the stalker was, but that didn't happen and it never will. The stalker wasn't going to reveal himself to him now.
Damn! If only the battlefield wasn't this small. Sonic complained to himself.
Sonic attacked with his homing attack. The cloaked figure blocked with his beam sword. Sonic then quickly used his spin dash to counter. The cloaked figure sidestepped out of the way. Sonic then quickly did a spin charge toward him at such speed that the cloaked figure couldn't avoid it. He landed a direct hit on the stalker, but when he did, the mysterious person countered by stabbing Sonic in the right shoulder with the beam sword. Sonic jumped away in pain and clutched his shoulder. It was only when did Sonic feel something cold on it. Sonic pulled his hand away from it and looked at his hand. It was stained red.
Blood?
The cloaked figure laughed, "I forgot to tell you. Since this is my world and not virtual, any damage you take from a sharp object will actually hurt you."
Sonic glared at the stalker. He should have known what situation he was going to be in. It was like him to rush into battle without thinking though.
"It's time for me to end this!"
The stalker charged at Sonic. The blue hedgehog managed to move out of the way before the beam sword collided with him. The mysterious figure quickly slashed Sonic's right leg with the beam sword. Sonic wasn't fast enough to dodge it and ended up getting a cut in his leg. The hedgehog ended up tripping due to the injured leg. The stalker laughed.
"So that's your weakness. One injury in the leg and you're useless."
"Shit…" Sonic cursed to himself.
"Sonic, are you okay?" Pit asked finally recovering from the shock.
Sonic turned to Pit and gave him the thumbs up, "Don't worry! I'm okay!"
Glancing at the angel's worried expression made Sonic want to push his limits. He might not be able to run for a while if he continued fighting now, but if he didn't defeat the cloaked figure and end this madness, Pit will still be in danger. The hedgehog stood up despite the injury and took out a dark blue Chaos Emerald.
The cloaked figure did not expect Sonic to have the Chaos Emerald in his position, "You-"
"I still got an ace in the hole," Sonic told him bitterly, "Don't think you defeated me yet!"
Sonic activated the Chaos Emerald's power. While he couldn't turn into Super Sonic with just one, his speed increased drastically and his attacks would do more damage. Sonic used another spin dash, and this time the stalker couldn't avoid it. He rammed right into him sending the cloaked figure flying off the stage. Sonic was positive that he would find out who was behind the cloak with this attack.
He was wrong as the cloaked figure made a gesture with his hands which made the platforms move. One moved below him which didn't make him fall off the stage.
"No way!"
"Yes way. You're forgetting that this is my territory now! I can control anything here," the stalker explained.
Sonic cursed at himself again. If the stalker could control the whole territory then Sonic had no way to defeat him one on one unless he finished him off quickly. The hedgehog proceeded to do another homing attack when the stalker decided to cheat.
The stalker quickly jumped over to Pit and held the beam sword to his heart.
"One move and the angel's dead!" the stalker threatened.
Both Smashers were too stunned to move. Sonic had to stop himself from running toward the stalker.
"You scum…" Sonic hissed.
"I'll do anything to win this match," the cloaked figure said with a grin, "And now you're dead!"
The stalker prepared to shoot the dark beam that turned DDD into a trophy. Pit warned Sonic to look out. The cloaked figure fired the dark beam at Sonic, and while the hedgehog was able to avoid turning into a trophy, it didn't save him from falling off the platform he was on.
"Oh shi-"
Pit watched in horror as Sonic fell to oblivion.
"SONIC!" he cried out.
The stalker chuckled as he saw the hedgehog fall to his doom. Even if the beam missed, if Sonic fell off the platforms and landed to the bottom, he would turn into a trophy automatically for losing, or worse, his head would splatter to the ground.
Sonic tried to use his spring to bounce him back to the platform, but he was too far from being saved. The hedgehog closed his eyes and cursed at himself for not being able to save Pit.
Sorry that I couldn't protect you Pit…
Just when you think that Sonic was a goner, someone came out of nowhere and swooped the hedgehog into his arms. The savior was actually riding on the Dragoon Star. The Dragoon Star glided back to the platforms. The stalker did not expect this.
"A miscalculation?" he asked himself.
Pit gasped when he saw who rescued Sonic from certain doom.
"Ike?"
The blue haired swordsmen dropped Sonic down on the platform. He got off of the Dragoon Star as it disappeared. He groaned, "Next time you fall off the edge, please make an attempt to get back up."
Sonic glared at the heavyweight, "Shut up. I was this close to becoming a trophy so it was either go back to that horrible state or become a pancake!"
"How did you get here?" the stalker asked seemly losing his calmness, "I set up a barrier so nobody can get in or out until the match was done."
Ike turned toward the stalker and gave him a look that could kill, "If you were one of us, you would know that the Dragoon Star can destroy barriers in an instant."
The truth was that only half of the Smashers knew that the Dragoon Star could destroy barriers. Not only did the stalker not know, but Pit and Sonic were also ones that had no clue.
Ike saw Pit behind the stalker. Upon seeing the tied up angel, he brought out his huge sword out and pointed it at the cloaked figure.
"Expect no mercy from me," Ike said in a low yet dangerous tone.
Ash and Ness were not doing so well. The cloaked figure was serious when he said that he would take them seriously. Ash had to dodge many attacks that were aimed at him since the cloaked figure wasn't fighting his Pokémon. Ness' attacks kept missing the cloaked figure as well.
The Pokémon Trainer withdrew Squirtle and called out Ivysaur to fight.
"Use your razor leaf!" Ash ordered.
Ivysaur attacked with sharp leaves that were easily cut in half with the help of the beam sword.
"PK Flash!"
Ness tried to concentrate his powers to unleash a powerful PK Flash, but the cloaked figure countered by grabbing Ivysaur by the leaves and throwing him at the boy canceling out the attack and damaging them both.
"Ivysaur! Ness! Are you okay?"
Ivysaur replied with a low roar. Ness stood up perfectly fine.
"I think this is the best time to surrender," the cloaked figure told them.
"Why would we surrender to someone to the likes of you?" Ash questioned in anger as he gave him the pointy figure.
The cloaked figure shook his head, "You just don't get it do you?"
The mysterious person prepared to fire a dark beam at both Ivysaur and Ness. The two Smashers didn't know what he was doing, but instinct told them to move out of the way. When the dark beam was fired, Ness jumped out of the way as Ash withdrew Ivysaur and summoned Charizard.
The dark beam hit the wall and bounced back at Charizard when it came out. Charizard was forced back into his Pokéball as the dark beam disappeared.
"What happened?" Ash asked with worry.
"It seems in the real world," the cloaked figure began, "That if a Pokémon that is owned by a trainer is hit by that attack, then it will be forced back into its Pokéball. If the real trainer is hit though, then that's the end for them."
The cloaked figure grinned as he prepared another charged beam that was aimed at Ash. It was fired much faster than the first one though. Ness attempted to destroy the dark beam with his PK Fire, but all it did was engulf the beam in flames making it more powerful.
"WATCH OUT RED!" Ness warned.
Ash was frozen in place. He couldn't run even if he wanted to. He was faced with a life or death situation. The teen knew that there was only one way to prevent him from turning into a trophy. But is it worth it? Ash asked himself. When the beam was about to hit him, Ash shouted, "OH HELL! I'M BREAKING THAT DAMN RULE THAT MASTER HAND PUT ON ME!"
Ash focused all of his powers that he acquired when he became a Smasher on his target. The aura transferred from his mind to his fist. With one blow he deflected the dark beam with his fist. The dark beam was destroyed instantly. When it was punched though, Ash's fist was bleeding like crazy.
Both Ness and the cloaked figure were astonished at the Pokémon Trainer's sudden burst of physical strength. "But how?"
Ash grinned evilly at the cloaked figure, "My secret weapon that I can only use outside of battle…"
The cloaked figure clenched his fist in both anger and fear. How could a Pokémon Trainer carry this much strength?
Ash turned his head toward Ness and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry Ness, but you're going to have to fight this battle on your own. I used too much…aura…"
With that said, Ash fainted. Ness ran over to his fallen comrade and called his name over and over again. There was no response from the Pokémon Trainer though. The cloaked figure chuckled at the boy's attempt.
"How foolish to use your secret technique only to pass out from it."
Ness glared at the cloaked figure with his homerun bat still in his hands. The cloaked figure stared at him amused.
"What are you going to do with that?"
"I'm going to defend Red until help comes!"
The cloaked figure laughed, "I wonder how long you'll last."
Ness jumped away from Ash and attempted to do standard combat with the cloaked figure. The mysterious person found this amusing and dodged all the punches and kicks thrown at him. The boy tried his very best to land at least one hit on him, but it was useless. The cloaked figure ended up kicking the boy in the stomach out of reflex. Ness was sent flying and crashed into one of the vases shattering it.
"Child's play," the cloaked figure taunted as he prepared another dark beam pointed at the boy.
Ness attempted to stop this attack this time with his PK Flash. Both unleashed their attack at the same time. The two attacks collided. The dark beam was clearly more powerful then a fully charged PK Flash. Ness knew this and attempted to shield himself with his PK Magnet. The dark beam shot through PK Flash and hit Ness directly breaking his shield engulfing him in darkness. When the darkness was completely gone, Ness was nothing but a trophy.
"Three down!"
The stalker turned toward the unconscious Pokémon Trainer, "And now it's your turn…when I'm done with the note!"
As stupid as it seemed, the cloaked figure forgot to write another note since he was in a rush to ruin the four Smasher's vacation. It was a good thing that he always carried a pen around because he would never here the end of it when he forgotten a writing utensil in the past. He scribbled a another threat before throwing a black rose in the middle of the crumbled table (that was destroyed in battle) with the note attached to it.
"I think I won't have time to turn that Pokémon brat into a trophy…" the cloaked figure stated as he saw another Smasher coming toward him. He turned to the unconscious Pokémon Trainer and mumbled a few words before disappearing in darkness taking the Ness trophy with him.
The Smasher he saw was Mario with his water pump. Upon seeing the destroyed cavern, the plumber searched for anyone that was still alive. That was when he saw Ash on the ground unconscious and a black rose with another note attached to it. Mario checked up on Ash to see if he was still alive. Once he confirmed that the Pokémon Trainer was still alive, he ran over to the black rose and plucked the note out of the thorn. He read the note out loud.
When you arrive here,
You'll realize that baseball boy has struck out.
If you want to me to disappear
Then question the one that has his doubts
I'm sure angel boy knows who I am
Because he is a sweet lovable boy.
From BSS (the one in Pinna Park is a fake of course)
Beside the line that was crossed out since it was suppose to be a joke, everything else was a threat. Mario shook his head, "We have to take this guy seriously now."
The cloaked figure in Pinna Park was the one losing in a two against one match. He could no longer use Pit as a hostage since Ike found a way around that. While Ike was fighting with his sword against the beam sword, Sonic used the remainder of his strength to jump to Pit's platform and untie the ropes. Once the angel was free, he instantly joined the battle that was easily won thanks to Pit's arrows and the fact that Pit understood the mysterious figure's battle style very well. Ike and Sonic did not catch this though and only proceeded to kick more ass.
The stalker attempted to make a clean getaway when he saw that he lost, but Ike wouldn't let him. The blue haired swordsmen delivered the final blow to the head of the stalker only to find out that he slashed through nothing but darkness.
"There's nothing here…" Ike mumbled.
Pit turned away from the darkness. He knew at the start that the cloaked figure was a fake when he revealed his face. The real stalker was somewhere else.
Once the darkness was gone, the stage itself went back to the Pinna Park setting. The Smashers were still above the Ferris wheel. The commotion that was happening on the ground though went back to normal like nothing happened.
"Mission complete!" Sonic announced, "Shouldn't we get a Shrine Sprite now for defeating the boss?"
Both the angel and blue haired swordsmen glared at the hedgehog. Sonic knew that now wasn't the time to crack jokes.
Pit's angry stare vanished as quickly as a marble falling out of a little girl's hands when he saw the injuries that Sonic sustained.
"This is all my fault…" Pit mumbled as he went over to the hedgehog and looked at his injuries, "If I actually made an attempt to fight back then you wouldn't have had…"
"No worries!" Sonic said with his usual grin, "I won't die from this! The Doc. will patch me up in no time!"
"If you actually make it back in one peace," Ike stated, "The Master Hand is going to punish you when we get back."
The two Smashers flinched. They knew that they would be punished, but not that soon.
"I think I'll die right now," Sonic said in an exasperated tone.
Ike walked over to the hedgehog and grabbed him by the spines, "Shut up and let's get out of here."
"-sweatdrop- Okay! I'll go back! Just stop pulling on my spines!"
"You're making him bleed again Ike!"
"Yes! I can die faster!"
"How about I cut your head off for putting Pit's life in danger?"
"…At least I know that this relationship isn't one sided…"
That resulted in Ike pulling on Sonic's spine even harder. The whole park could hear the hedgehog's scream and thought that it was a giant Yoshi of some sort and started to get on their knees and hail him.
"Poor Sonic…" Pit mumbled.
The three Smashers made it back to Isle Delfino in one peace. The fans were long gone mainly because they saw Mario again who told them not to talk to any of the Smashers they saw since most of them were on punishment and they would make it worse. The Piñatas believed Mario and left them alone. The group met up in the middle of the island.
The first reaction from Pit was the battered Ash on the back of the plumber.
"Ash! What happened?"
Mario glanced at the unconscious Pokémon Trainer and shook his head, "I don't know. When I arrived at Noki Bay, I found him like this. I also found another note with a black rose."
Pit's face darkened. I knew it.
"Are you saying that the real one was over there?" Ike asked quite irritated that he defeated a fake.
"I would believe so. The note was written at such speed that it's almost unreadable."
"Where's Ness?" Sonic asked weakly. At this point, he lost a lot of blood and was near the state of falling unconscious.
Mario glanced at one of his longtime rivals and was shocked that he was beaten up quite badly, "If the real one at Noki Bay, then this fake you speak of was at Pinna Park."
"Yes," Pit answered.
"And the fake did that much damage to Sonic?" Mario asked.
"Just answer my damn question!" Sonic hissed.
Pit was just as eager to know what happened to Ness. Mario glanced at the note and shook his head.
"He's gone," Mario said, "Just like Falco and DDD."
The information was too much for Sonic as well as the blood loss. He ended up fainting upon hearing that Ness was turned into a trophy.
Ike hid his eyes behind his hair so no one would see what emotions were in his eyes. Pit clenched his fist in rage. If Ness didn't go on vacation with them, then the boy would never have disappeared. But no! They just had to kidnap him instead of taking his camera from his room.
"Lucas is not going to take this well…" Ike finally said breaking the silence.
"And the punishment will be more severe for Sonic…" Mario added, "Mama mia…"
Me: TBC with 8869 words. Notes!
1. During the Hoenn arc in the anime where Ash trained under the waves (I wish it was a waterfall) when he lost to Brawly. In this story, he would have done that when he was thirteen.
2. In the anime, Ash is usually connected to the Legendary Pokémon and is always receiving their power from them. In the second movie, he was involved with Lugia. The power he has is similar to the one he has in Pokémon the movie 8 Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. He resembles Sir Aaron who had the ability to use aura and near the end of the movie, he could use the power of the aura. And recently in the Pokémon Black and White movie, he is granted powers from Victini. In this story, that is his supernatural power. Why he is forbidden to use it will be revealed in chapter 8.
I gained more knowledge about Pokémon and that has allowed me to change a lot of the facts on here concerning Ash. Also, when Sonic comments about how Ash would enjoy the roller coaster,Best Wishes episode (BW051) shows that Ash DOESN'T like the roller coaster so it's hilarious in hindsight.
Another joke is because I changed Shigeru back to Gary Oak, I can make more internet jokes. The best one is talking about his girth. If you don't get this joke, then I feel sorry for you. After all Shigeru is polite to Satoshi but is still a dick, Gary is a jerk to Ash and that's the major difference between the Japanese and English version.
I changed Pit's overall attitude to the mysterious figure because of who he is. Pit wouldn't let him take control and would shout at him as evident in my other stories. Also, it would make more sense for Pit to understand how he fights since he knows him so well and him freezing up is because he didn't expect him to pull dirty tricks.
