Summary: Master Hand wakes up and finds his mansion partly destroyed…and some people are going to be under house arrest until the mansion is repaired. Who will be punished? And Shigeru ends up following Samus into the dark part of the mansion only to get by a hoard of zombies. Will they survive?
Chapter 15: Dark Secrets and False Emotions
Master Hand woke up in a terrible mood. He couldn't remember what happened last night. All he knew was that Little Mac served them tea during the night and then he past out along with his brother.
Crazy was next to him snoozing like an innocent puppy. Master decided not to wake his brother up. He got dressed and headed outside his room…
As soon as he did, he turned into that giant hand and decided to go float outside to see his beautiful mansion in the early morning.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" he screeched as soon as he saw half of the mansion destroyed. Even the needle at the top of the mansion was bent and the walls were gone somewhere he didn't know. All he knew was that someone was going to pay dearly.
Pit was the first one to wake up from Master's scream. As soon as he did though, he looked around and noticed that everyone was STILL asleep.
Lazy bums… Pit thought to himself.
The angel noticed that the Smashers and assist trophies (minus Mr. Game and Watch and Jigglypuff) all had weird markings on their face. He would have laughed if he didn't rub his forehead and find that he too had black markings on his face.
"I am so going to kill that balloon…" Pit mumbled as he pulled the earplugs out of his ears. They were of no use in the end.
Pit noticed that Ike's forehead read SEME. The angel shook his head. Because he couldn't read what was on his forehead, he did not know that Jigglypuff was referring the two as a couple.
"Ike, I think it's best if you wake up now," Pit whispered in the blue haired swordsmen's ear.
Ike moaned before turning his head away from the voice. Pit smiled. He had such a cute face when he slept.
That smile did not last as the intercom came on. Crazy was on the other end while Master Hand was heard too and he didn't sound as calm as Crazy, which was unusual.
"Umm…if all Smashers could come to the main hall, we shall talk about…the damage of the mansion…" mumbled Crazy who was still tired.
Pit shook his head. They were so fucked...
"FUCK THAT! I'M TELEPORTING EVERYONE IN!" screamed Master.
He did just that as every Smasher and assist trophy were teleported to the main room regardless of their position. Only those who weren't Smashers were not teleported.
When everyone woke up and saw each other, all were feeling mixed emotions for each other. Peach and Jigglypuff were rather blissful about last night. Link and Bowser were still very much heartbroken and look liked zombies. Mario, Mr. Game and Watch, Ganondorf and Zelda were still very much angry. Sonic, Isaac and Lucas were very quiet as they were teleported when their friends were still injured. Everyone else was either really tired or really scared from both the right hand and Zelda. Ash was embarrassed because he wasn't wearing anything to cover his private parts and had to sit in a girly pose. Pit was the only one who seemed neutral as he wiped the marker off his forehead.
Crazy tried his best to calm his older brother down, but it still couldn't stop him from shouting, "WHO THE FUCK RUINED MY MANSION?"
The Smashers glanced at each other. Would they say something that would give Captain Falcon away?
Pit would have spoke if Captain Falcon didn't step up and say, "It's my fault Master Hand."
"WHAT?"
"Please clam down brother…" Crazy mumbled.
"I planned a party without your permission," Captain Falcon explained without looking up at the white glove, "It was to cheer everyone up. If I would have known that this was going to happen, I would have never…"
"It's not your fault," Samus interrupted, "We're all to blame for this."
Nobody said anything because they knew that the female bounty hunter was right.
Crazy looked at Master who seemed to calm down slightly.
"Brother?"
"I'll let the party thing slide," Master Hand said, "I can't take half of you seriously with permanent marker on your faces."
With that said, Pit couldn't help but giggle. All the Smashers and assist trophies that were in the room when Jigglypuff sang had marker on their faces. They wiped it off as soon as it was mentioned.
"And I can't take Red seriously if he doesn't have any clothes on," Master Hand added.
Everyone turned to the Pokémon Trainer causing his cheeks to light up.
"W-What? I sleep without my clothes! Is that a crime?" Ash questioned angrily.
Pit knew he was lying, "No, not really."
Crazy hand noticed the injury on Saki's shoulder. He asked, "What happened to you Saki?"
A suffocating aura filled the room. If Saki said something, Zelda might actually attack him again. He glanced at Isaac who glanced at Lucas, who glanced at Sonic.
"I-It's nothing! Just got injured from a falling piece of the ceiling-"
"You should actually take care of yourself instead of just standing here," Fox interrupted.
"Fox…" Sonic mumbled.
"And I think we have to take care of a certain echidna that was injured during the collapse of the mansion."
Fox was giving a few Smashers a signal to run off while they still can. Dr. Mario was needed, so he allowed Saki to rest on his shoulder and walked to the infirmary. Isaac and Lucas followed behind shortly and were later joined by Pit, Sonic, and Ash (who at last minute made a sprint at the door). As soon as the door closed, Master Hand asked.
"What really happened?"
Ash left the Smashers to go back to his room and put on his clothes and wake up Gary. When Dr. Mario saw his infirmary destroyed he looked pissed off.
"Did Zelda do this?" he asked in an angry tone.
"Yes," Fox answered. He was the only one who was willing to respond.
"I see. She's probably getting punished as we speak…"
Ash and Gary came upon the scene with record time. The Pokémon Researcher asked, "What's going on?"
The brunette didn't need an answer as the scene in front of him gave him the answer he needed.
"Now would be a good time to use that room Dr. Mario," Fox told him.
The newcomers and assist trophies were confused. What room was Fox talking about?
"I guess you're right. I wouldn't be able to work in this condition anyway."
Satoshi took Knuckles and carried him on his back. Hoshi-Tsuki flew over and placed herself on Sonic's other shoulder that Fox wasn't sitting on. Dr. Mario told Isaac to allow Saki to rest on his shoulder. Dr. Mario then went inside the room and opened a hidden door in the floor.
"I never had to use this room…" Dr. Mario began, "But in times like this, it's the only way to successfully heal."
Dr. Mario lead the way inside the dark room. The room was very dark, but as soon as he flicked the lights, the room was filled with blue lights that gave faint light to the room.
"What room is this?" Sonic asked Fox.
"It's a room not of this world," Fox explained, "We only had to use it during the very first tournament. That was a long time ago…and that was because of reasons…that have to do with the dark side of the mansion."
"The Wireframes were let loose during that time," Dr. Mario continued, "This was the only room that they could not detect and enter. The veterans used this to their advantage to find a way to send them all back to the dark side of the mansion. This room is perfect for planning strategies and a chance to heal. Nothing can get through here."
"I see…" Pit mumbled.
"Now place Saki on one of the beds," Dr. Mario instructed the blonde.
Isaac obeyed as he gently brought Saki toward the bed. He allowed him off his shoulder. Saki then laid on the bed. When he did, a capsule like thing appeared above his head and surrounded him completely.
"What the-"
"This capsule protects anybody resting on the bed," the doctor explained, "It will then shoot a ray that will heal your wounds."
Sure enough, the capsule shot out blue rays. Saki closed his eyes as his wounds magically healed on its own.
"Amazing!" Gary stated.
"What is powering the capsule?" Pit asked.
"We don't know. All we know, is that it's some mystical power from above that protects this sacred place."
"Doesn't look sacred…" Pit mumbled.
"This is something you're not use to?" the doctor questioned.
"No, sacred things in my world are usually very bright places with very shiny artifacts and has a picture of a God somewhere."
Dr. Mario smiled, "Then there's something I want to show you in here. Ash, can you place Knuckles on that bed over there?"
Ash obeyed and placed Knuckles on the bed next to Saki. A capsule covered him and the blue rays appeared and started to heal the wounds that the bat didn't heal.
"It's strange that Knuckles doesn't have that many injuries as last night…" Lucas mumbled.
He's right. Fox thought to himself. He glared at the bat that knew something that they didn't.
"I think it's because he's the guardian of the Master Emerald," Sonic stated from the facts he knew.
"So what did you want to show me?"
Dr. Mario lead the Smashers away from the beds and into another section of the hidden room. They gasped.
"Is this proof of a sacred room."
In that section, there were two gold statues. One was of a girl no older than seventeen. She wore a white mage robe. Next to her was a winged beast of some sort. Compared to the girl, the beast was huge and took up most of the room in the room.
"This is-"
"The Summoner that protects this room and her Aeon? Yes," Dr. Mario answered, "Lady Yuna was the one that saved everyone in ancient times. This is probably the last artifacts that were left behind when her time period died out."
Pit heard of the High Summoner Yuna from Sun-Wong. He would always go through the books in the library and tell stories to the other royal bodyguards about a seventeen year old girl that was following her father's footsteps to stop an evil that terrorizes the people every three years. She was followed by her bodyguards who she considered her caretakers Wakka and Lulu and of course the one that watched her for many years when she was young Kimahri Ronso. She was joined by a young man who she later fell in love with which was Tidus. Later the bodyguard of her father Sir Auron and an Al Bhed Rikku joined the party. Together they crossed terrains and defied the rules of the usual Summoners in order to banish the evil Sin forever. From what Pit heard though, Tidus and Auron lost their lives even before Sin died and decided to join him in the Farplane.
Sun-Wong never finished the story after that, but he did start the second part which included Yuna getting out of her white mage habit and traveling around with Rikku and her new friend Paine as a Sphere Hunter. Her goal was to find any remains of Tidus. The earth angel never got to the end where it said if she found him or not.
To think that all this happened many years ago… Pit thought.
"But this all happened in another world that crossed over with ours when it ended," Dr. Mario added.
"Figures."
"What is that bird's name?" Lucas asked.
"It's a wing beast," Ash corrected.
"Her name is Valefor," Dr. Mario answered, "She was High Summoner Yuna's very first Aeon and she continued to gather others to help her fight. She used her the most."
"What were the other Aeons?" Pit asked.
"The flame beast Ifrit. The lighting horse Ixion. The ice queen Shiva. The wing beast that overpowers all Bahamut. The Japanese swordsmen Yojimbo. The death God Anima. Finally the triple combo the Magus Sisters."
Pit gasped. He remembered seeing half of the Aeons during his time of recovery and going on missions with the other royal bodyguards. In fact, he realized that half of the royal bodyguards had those Aeons listed based on their element. Pepper had Ifrit, Isaak had Ixion and Mcenche had Shiva.
"If they ever come again, it will only mean that the world is in danger…" Dr. Mario mumbled.
"Why?" Isaac asked.
"I heard that only chosen ones can control an Aeon."
He's got that right. Pit told himself with a nod. The Aeons that the royal bodyguards had only came out when the group was in danger during their missions all of those years in Angel Land. They were summoned at least once and never responded again according to the royal bodyguards but they could still feel the presence inside of them.
Sonic kept staring at the Valefor statue. Fox noticed this and tried to shake him out of his thoughts. The hedgehog didn't seem to notice the leader of Star Fox. It was almost like he was mesmerized by the statue.
"Sonic," Ash began snapping the hedgehog out of his thoughts, "Is there a reason why you keep staring at the Valefor statue?"
Sonic shook his head, "No. It just seems like Valefor is asking me to release her from that prison."
"Furthermore," Dr. Mario continued as he pointed to the staff that Yuna was holding, "That staff isn't fake. It can be used in battle, but no one has been able to pull the staff out of her hand."
"So we basically only pull it out in time of need?" Pit asked.
"Yes."
"…Then that will be soon."
Someone suddenly groaned in pain. Sonic knew who it was and rushed toward it. The other Smashers slowly followed behind.
Knuckles was slowly waking up.
"Knuckles, are you okay?" Sonic asked in an exasperated tone.
The red echidna looked up at the blue hedgehog and smiled nicely. Sonic felt his cheeks lit up while Fox felt his heart hurting.
"Knuckles?"
"I love you Sonic."
Ike was not happy. That whole hour that he was kept in the main room was hell. He felt like he was in a courtroom with everyone was either objecting to each other's claim or prosecuting someone of doing an evil act. The blue haired swordsmen found this immature and left the room with Wolf, Samus, and Pikachu joined him. Samus decided to go back to her room and wash her face. Wolf only stayed with Ike to see how Fox was doing. As for Pikachu, he stayed on Ike's back to see his trainer.
"At least we know that Zelda is under house arrest," Wolf said.
"They could have solved it more professionally instead of shouting OBJECTION across the room." Ike told him.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
Wolf couldn't say anything smart-ass.
Once the two made it to the infirmary, Pit, Sonic, Ash, and Lucas were leaving.
"What happened?" Ike asked when he walked up to them.
"Nothing much. Dr. Mario is healing them in that hidden room," Pit responded as he pointed to the door that was in the floor.
"I see…"
Wolf saw that Fox wasn't on Sonic's shoulder. He was on Pit's shoulder instead. The leader of Star Wolf would have questioned Fox if he didn't give a look that could kill. Wolf looked at Sonic and noticed that his cheeks were very red. Was he sick?
"Good luck getting to your rooms," Wolf finally said as he walked in the opposite direction.
"I wonder what he meant by that…" Ash mumbled.
Ike tried to get to his room, but upon seeing the ceiling was crumbled and the debris destroying his room he decided that he would stay in Pit's room. Lucas thought the same room when he couldn't even enter his room.
"It's going to be crowded tonight…" Pit mumbled.
"Have I told everyone that I'm claustrophobic?" Ash questioned.
Sonic did an upper cut on his face.
"You are such a liar."
Pit sighed. How were six people going to sleep in the same room? Fox and that new bat that Sonic found would be just sleep on the desk. The angel might end up sharing a bed with Sonic.
"Ike and Lucas can use Sonic's bed," Pit said.
"What about-"
"You're sleeping with me tonight."
Sonic really didn't mind that but Ike did and he had a reason to. Why didn't Pit want to sleep with him?
"You don't mind that arrangement, do you Lucas?" Ash questioned.
"Not at all."
"Go easy on him Ike," Ash joked.
This earned him a punch from both Pit and Ike coming from both sides.
"OWW!" he cried out.
"Serves you right," Ike mumbled.
Pit nodded his head. Lucas and Sonic giggled. Fox just shook his head in annoyance. As if tolerating four teens was enough for him.
The angel looked out the window and noticed something you wouldn't see everyday. There was this dove at the window with an envelop. It was pecking at the glass.
"You don't see that everyday," Pit said as he walked to the window and opened it.
The Smashers watched as the bird came in and handed Pit an envelop. The angel read who it was from and frowned.
"Give it back to him," Pit said quickly as he handed the dove back the envelope.
The dove didn't take it back. It just continued to chirp.
"She's saying that she wants you to read it," Lucas translated.
"Another she?" Fox asked.
Pit sighed as he opened the envelop.
"Whose it from?" Satoshi asked.
"It's from Isaak," Pit answered.
"He lives in the mansion though…" Ike muttered.
"Not that Isaac! Isaak is one the royal bodyguards that serve under Palutena. He is the 6th seat and therefore my subordinate and comrade," Pit explained.
He read the letter. As he did though, he was tempted to rip it to shreds.
"What does it say?" Sonic questioned.
"Do I have to read it?" Pit asked in an angry tone.
"N-No…"
In the end, Pit decided to read it and sound like the yellow angel. He ended up failing though because he didn't have the German accent.
What's up Captain Armpit?
It's been a while since I talked to you. How's life at the mansion? Up here is great! Dr. Pepper's Chocobo, Chobi is causing everyone problems. It benefits me zough. Dr. Pepper is the same as usual trying to stop him, but he keeps biting her hair or taking her glasses to prevent further scolding. Old man prince is getting tired of it. It's funny to see him squirm.
Schwarz is cool! We're like best friends now! Why couldn't Li-Li be like him? Ze answer is simple! Because he's not black! LOL
Oh! Ze monkey and Prisnzessin Himeno still haven't achieved much. Zey need to take the next step in zere relationship and just have one of zem ask ze other out. It's embarrassing to see failed attempt after failed attempt no?
As for Aqua, she's still silent and only says a few words like…once a month or so, but when she does speak, she always has something rude to say about me. Why is zat? But I'm still glad zat she's recovering. If it weren't for you, zen she'd be mute forever and its better to have her say cruel zings zan not to hear her pretty voice.
Anyway, enough about me. I heard that zere was karaoke party at the mansion and I ask you, "WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME? You could have introduce me to the chicks zere!" Ah man, I missed out on such a party with the usual bodyguard duty. -sniff-
I sent my lovely dove weiß to give you this letter to ask you another question. "Why is the mansion destroyed and why are there so many people outside the mansion with video cameras? Just a question you should be wondering.
Oh crap! I'm running out of room on zis paper. Angel Land needs a larger sheet, but if I complained about ze paper, Nina would kill me! LOL I got to go! Chobi just lit Old man prince's hair on fire. It's a wonderful sight to see him screaming at Aqua to put the fire out. LMAO.
Frieden~
From the magnificent prince,
Isaak
PS: Is zere anybody I can hook up at in the mansion? I need a date real bad now.
As soon as Pit read the last line. He took his two swords and sliced the letter into little pieces.
"This is what I think about you Isaak! Wasting my damn time!"
The Smashers moved back away from Pit. Who knew a letter could make him so mad?
"Armpit?" Ash asked.
"Don't start. He gave us all crappy nicknames except Aqua."
"I thought she was mute," Sonic stated.
"That can be recovered easily," Pit explained recalling the mission he had with her and how she opened up to him instantly after saving the human world in their world from the Great Flood, "She's still silent though."
"That would make her emo."
"-red vein- She's not! If you said that in front of her, she would kick your ass!"
"And what's up with Li-Li?" Fox questioned knowing the angel would get upset.
Pit frowned, "He gave that name to Li a while ago…I haven't heard him mention Li in a while after his supposed death…he was just as upset as me when we thought he died…"
Nobody said anything. Voices were heard and that's when Ike asked, "What did he mean by people with video cameras?"
Pit looked at the white dove who pointed her wing outside. The Smashers looked out the window only to see people lining up at the front of the mansion trying to get a picture of it. There were also reporters there and Sonic noticed one of them.
"Ulala?"
"What is going on?" Ash asked.
As soon as he said that, Sonic jumped out the window and toward the tree branch that was in front of the window.
"Sonic, get back in here!" Pit shouted as he jumped after the hedgehog that was proceeding to meet the people. The other Smashers were forced to follow the angel.
On the ground, Sonic sped over to a tall girl with pink hair and blue eyes and asked, "Ulala, what are you doing here, and what's with the cameras?"
"Sonic?" she began, "It's been a while."
"Same here."
The two couldn't have a simple conversation because the reporters instantly surrounded the blue hedgehog and asked him many questions. Some were about the destroyed mansion while the other one was about Link and Zelda breaking up.
"How did they know about Link and Zelda?" Sonic asked the Utala, "I mean it's obvious that the mansion is partly destroyed, but Link and Zelda?"
"Someone posted a video of how the mansion was destroyed on Youtube," she answered, "It was someone by the username TL."
"Toon Link…" Sonic muttered.
"SONIC!"
Pit swooped down from the skies and snatched Sonic from the ground. The reporters were filming this and asking Pit the same question.
"I have no idea why you people are here, but you need to get out before Master Hand goes nuts!" Pit yelled.
They didn't listen to the angel. They just wanted answers.
Stupid humans… Pit thought to himself. This is why we have no fucking reporters in Heaven. If there was a reporter there, we would send them back to hell.
Good thing Ike and Pikachu were there. Ike threatened all the reporters to get away from the mansion with his Rangell. Pikachu showed off his powerful lighting bolts as a warning. Lucas, and Ash just sat from the tree branch and watched. Hoshi-Tsuki flew close to them. Fox was on Pit's shoulder when he followed Sonic.
It worked. The reporters and camera crew were soon leaving. All but Ulala who wanted to speak to Sonic.
"Sonic, I still have to talk to you!" she yelled.
"About what?"
"Has Alex Kidd come around here?"
"No!"
"Good! Make sure everyone here stays away from him. Especially you Sonic!" she warned as she ran off to follow the reporters.
Everyone got back inside Pit's room to discuss the problem.
"Why is a hot chick like her know you?" Ash asked the blue wonder.
"We both participated in the Superstar Tennis."
"Oh yeah!"
"She…took care of me…whenever the Sega cast was regrouped," Sonic said. His cheeks lit up slightly.
"Lucky bastard…" Ash whispered.
"She's a really good friend and an amazing reporter. I should have known she was coming here…"
"Whose this Alex Kidd?" Fox asked.
Sonic froze at the mention of the name, "He's…a killer…on the loose…"
Everyone gasped.
"He shouldn't have had come to the Superstar Tennis. He…killed…"
Sonic didn't get to finish. He was shivering all over just thinking of the image of one of his friends dieing in front of his eyes. Pit comforted the blue hedgehog.
"We won't get anything from him…" Pit began, "We just have to be careful."
"As if Lived wasn't enough…" Ash said with a sigh.
"The real question is, why Toon Link posted the video," Ike stated.
"He usually does," Lucas said, "For a while, he's been using R.O.B. to record incidents in the mansion."
"That's against the rule!" Ash shouted.
"I never said anything…because most of them…were times…that Samus beat up either Snake or Falcon…"
"Now that's something you see almost everyday here," Ike said with a laugh.
"He did follow Zelda and Ganondorf the whole cat and mouse game…" Lucas continued, "I thought he would stop after Saki got hurt, but ended up continuing after all."
"They might come back tomorrow…"
"And the next day…until Master Hand finally snaps."
"Mr. Game and Watch already has," Pit said.
When they said that they heard these loud bangs and a very loud beep. Chances were that Mr. Game and Watch ate the super mushroom and is using his size increase to fix the mansion.
"If he's fixing the mansion now…then that means-"
Ike was cut off because the intercom came on. Master Hand was on it and he was very calm now.
"Let's see. I found out who destroyed the mansion. It was Zelda! For destroying the mansion, she'll be under house arrest until further notice! Everyone must stay away from her room no matter how tempting it is! Break this rule and you too will also be under house arrest! That is it!"
Master Hand went off the intercom.
"Poor Zelda…" Lucas mumbled.
"Didn't know she would really snap," Fox added.
"Further notice…I wonder how long that is…" Pit mumbled.
"That took forever!" Stafy complained to Shadow, "The adults wouldn't shut up."
Shadow ignored the little stars complaints.
As soon as Pit and the others left, Master Hand asked what really happened. The blame was instantly put on Zelda. While she countered with the fact that it was Ganondorf's fault many sided with the villain. The black hedgehog wished that he followed Ike and the other Smashers when they left. At least it would have been quiet.
The end result was that Zelda was under house arrest but Ganondorf and Link were forbidden to see her until then. Ganondorf didn't mind but Link did. The poor elf was already heartbroken and now not being able to speak to the Queen of Hyrule hurt him even more.
Shadow glanced at the little star. He doubted that Stafy knew what was going on.
"Now what?" the star asked innocently.
"We…go back to our room unless we want to help that two dimensional freak."
"I want to go skating!"
"-red vein- Later!"
"You're so mean Shadow!"
"Is there any place here we can skate without bumping into Mr. Game and Watch?"
"No…"
"Thought so."
"Wahhh…"
Peach let out another sigh as she stared at the door in front of her. The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom was tempted to open the door to Zelda's room.
Everyone was not allowed to speak to Zelda until further notice. This worried the blonde for many reasons. One question was how was she suppose to eat? How could she use the bathroom? How was she going to take a shower? What if she didn't get enough sleep for being alone for so long?
That does it. Peach thought to herself. I'm going in.
Peach knocked on the door to Zelda's room. Surprisingly, Zelda didn't scream at her. The reason for this was the most obvious reason.
"You may come in. I'm not Zelda and Master Hand only said no one could see Zelda."
The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom came into the room to see Sheik on the bed.
"Sheik, is Zelda okay?" Peach asked the ninja.
The ninja shook his head, "No, she's in distress at the moment. I took over to make sure she wouldn't do anything more reckless."
Peach smiled. Everyone called Sheik Zelda's alter ego when they were indeed two different people. They just shared the same body. Another major difference that one can tell that they are two different people is that Sheik was more calm in almost every situation and won't snap that easily.
"You substituting for her was a great idea," Peach said with relief, "At least I know Zelda won't rot in her own room."
"I'll only come out every now and then," Sheik told her, "Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B. were told to watch over this room every now and then so Zelda won't try to escape and kill anybody."
"She wouldn't…"
"She would. She tried to kill Ganondorf last night."
"But that was-"
"You should stop making up excuses for Zelda," Sheik said, "It will only make her feel worse."
"I'm sorry."
"What's done is done and you can't undo it."
Sheik suddenly heard someone come down the hall.
"It's best if you leave now," Sheik said, "If you don't leave, you might be under house arrest too."
Peach frowned but left the room before the Smasher passed the room. Once the Smasher was gone, Sheik let out a big sigh, "What am I going to do with you Zelda?"
The Smasher or rather Smashers that were passing Zelda's room were Toon Link and R.O.B.. The cartoon version of Link was trying to figure out the greatest mystery. Who hacked into his profile and posted the video Zelda vs. Ganondorf on Youtube that made reporters come to the mansion?
"I'm positive that I logged out," Toon Link told the robot, "And I'm certain that no one knew the password, so how…"
"I am sorry," R.O.B. said in a robotic tone, "I did not see who hacked your profile."
"It's okay. I think we all know that this must be the work of the Pit look alike," Toon Link said.
Little did he know that he was dead wrong. Midna watched them from the shadows and giggled at the two.
It's so easy to play pranks on them. Midna told herself. If I keep this up, then maybe Lived can keep his promise.
With that said, she disappeared back into the darkness.
Night took forever to come. As soon as the moon rose, Gary returned to the room only to realize that Ike and Lucas were going to stay.
"I don't mind really," Gary said as he gave a mean look at Lucas telling him to back off Ash.
Lucas just smiled back because it was funny seeing someone he barely knew be jealous about Ash of all people.
Sonic jumped on Pit's bed. The angel yelled at him to get off and go under the covers.
"Come on Pit! Stop treating me like a kid."
Pit scowled at the blue hedgehog, "Do you want to sleep on the floor or not?"
Sonic sighed, "Okay mom, I'll stop."
Sonic quickly covered his mouth but 'mom' already came out. When it did everyone minus Pit laughed. The hedgehog's cheeks turned pink.
"Nice one Sonic!" Gary declared.
"I guess that makes Ike the dad!" Ash stated.
That earned him yet another punch by Ike and Pit sending him flying toward the door. At least it didn't break this time.
"Just go to sleep!" Pit yelled.
Sonic said nothing the rest of the night. Ike reluctantly allowed Lucas to cuddle next to him. Fox and Hoshi-Tsuki had to sleep on the same counter. The two would glare at each other for the rest of the night. Both trainers knew they couldn't take their clothes off in front of Lucas, so they went to bed in their pajamas to their dismay. Pikachu decided to sleep on top of the two. The light bulb went out eventually. Tomorrow, Pikachu was going to fix it.
Fox couldn't sleep. He was still too upset with Sonic despite it not being his fault. He had the red echidna to blame. Those two words that he said to the blue hedgehog rand through his head over and over again.
I love you Sonic.
Fox couldn't stand it. Why was this affecting him the most? It was probably because of Sonic's response.
…I love you too Knuckles. I don't want to lose you…so please don't hate me.
I never said I hated you Sonic…I just…didn't want to hurt you.
Knuckles…
STOP IT! Fox thought to himself. Stop thinking about that incident. You knew that this was going to happen all along! Just stop thinking about him all together.
Even though Fox said that, he couldn't get that confession out of his head.
"How pathetic of you to lose to some echidna who doesn't love Sonic!" cried a voice.
Fox shot his head up. Who said that?
"I'm up here little Fox!"
Fox turned to see Hoshi-Tsuki on the ceiling. Her eyes were staring down at Fox like he was prey.
"I knew there was something more to you than meets the eyes," Fox said.
"Well duh! Everyone sees me as this little female bat that can't do anything! I'm glad that someone saw through it."
"So you are a boy."
"Eh, people get confused with my gender all the time. I consider myself a male, so all is good for me. Anyway, I know you're still upset about that stupid Knuckles confessing his feelings for Sonic."
Fox turned away from the bat, "Why would you think that?"
"Come on. I know you're being plagued by that scene as we speak."
"Let me tell you something. That echidna hasn't won this fight yet. There is still time to take Sonic away from him."
Fox was baffled, "What are you saying?"
"Like I said. Take Sonic away from Knuckles. Sonic has better match ups than him. I mean really! I prefer Sonic ending up with that black hedgehog then that echidna!"
Fox shook his head, "I don't like Sonic that way."
"Why not?"
"Because I already have someone."
"So you can just-"
"And even if I did like him, it's wrong to love someone…so young…"
"He's not young. Believe me," Hoshi-Tsuki said with a laugh.
"-red vein- Well sorry if you don't get my definition…wait! You seem to know Sonic so well."
"I do. You met Ulala right?"
"That reporter? Yes…well I saw her face."
"I was one of the people to participate in the Superstar Tennis that Sonic mentioned but that bastard Alex Kidd killed me because he was a such a damn poor sport."
Fox gasped, "But I thought-"
"He was trying to kill Sonic. I defended him and died…but I hate Heaven for what a certain angel did to me there…so he sent me back to Earth in the form of this bat. I'm going to kill him if I die in this form."
"What happened in Heaven?"
"I needed a credit card to get in."
"…WHAT? You have to pay to get into Heaven now?"
"I guess."
The two were silent for a while absorbing that information. Fox realized that he would have to question Pit on how they handled Heaven when he had the time. Hoshi-Tsuki didn't care and just continued.
"Anyway, the red echidna decided not to help me when trying to defend Sonic. I hate him for that. To get my revenge, I'm not going to allow him to be with Sonic."
"Isn't that a little…harsh?"
"Death hurts when you haven't achieve your purpose more than a broken heart. And if you don't make a move on Sonic sooner or later, I will."
Before Fox could say anything, Hoshi-Tsuki flew over to Sonic who was in the arms of the angel. Not knowing what was going to happen next, Fox ended up grabbing onto the bat's claws pulling him down.
"What are you doing?" the bat asked.
"Stopping you from being stupid."
"I need to make my move! I'm hungry for something salty!"
Fox's cheeks lit up, "That's low!"
"The thing I love about being a bat. They can get away with almost everything."
Hoshi-Tsuki managed to pry Fox off his claws and went under the blanket. Fox chased after him.
The leader of Star Fox was very disappointed in the bat for the main reason of taking advantage of someone who was asleep. Just as he was about to leap at the bat, Hoshi-Tsuki already made his move on Sonic and then flew toward Fox. There was some type of liquid in the bat's mouth that he passed on to Fox as soon as he opened his mouth.
Fox was speechless as he accidentally swallowed the fluid.
"How do you like the taste?" Hoshi-Tsuki asked seductively.
Fox ended up collapsing under the sheets. The tastes was too much for him.
"You know you liked it," Hoshi-Tsuki said as he flew to the ceiling and clung to it the rest of the night. Part one of getting Fox and Sonic together was successful for him.
Now for part two.
It was past 1:00 AM when Gary woke up from a nightmare.
Not another flashback! Gary thought to himself.
The brunette rubbed his forehead. Out of all times to dream about the past, why did it have to be now.
I only have that dream when something bad is going to happen…
Gary sighed as he realized that he wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep. He slowly got out of the bed and tiptoed out of the room. Hoshi-Tsuki noticed his leave but decided not to say anything.
Gary walked around the mansion for fifteen whole minutes before deciding to return to the room. He didn't get a chance though because he saw a dark figure heading straight to the dark part of the mansion.
Who goes to that part of the mansion this late at night? Gary asked himself. Is he suppose to be there at all? Wait! What happens if that's…Lived…
The Pokémon Researcher shivered. Could he stop Lived on his own?
Of course I can beat him! I'm Gary Mother Fucking Oak! I can handle myself without Ashy boy around!
Shigeru decided to follow the dark figure into the dark part of the mansion. It was a big mistake. Since it was past midnight, all the lights were turned off. The only light that was in the hallway was a dark purple flame. As a result, he couldn't see anything.
"It's like the beginning of Silent Hill…" he mumbled, "I hope a zombie doesn't attack me…"
Gary could hear the growls of something. He trembled slightly. What was that?
The growls were getting louder and louder. Gary gulped as he unintentionally moved forward deeper into the darkness.
It was then did Gary see something red on the ground. His eyes widened in horror.
Blood?
Sure enough, there was blood on the floor. He didn't know where it was coming from. It just seemed to be leaking toward him.
Suddenly, something jumped out of the darkness. Gary didn't get a chance to scream because a whip slashed the thing in half. Blood gushed out of its guts and onto the floor adding to the red coding.
"And there goes another one," said a voice.
Gary glanced ahead. There was a light coming from a lantern. The light came closer revealing Zero Suit Samus.
"Samus, what are you doing here?" Gary asked.
"I should be the one asking you that. It's late and kids should be tucked into bed."
"I-I came here to follow the Pit look alike! Did you see him?"
Samus shook her head, "There has been nobody in this hall except me…and these zombies…"
"ZOMBIES?" Gary questioned.
Samus smacked him on the head, "Keep your voice down. Do you want the zombies to bring in reinforcements?"
Gary shook his head as he used his hands to cover his mouth.
"Thought so."
Samus took her gun and continued forward. Gary reluctantly followed her. He did not want to be left behind in this dark place where anything could attack him.
"So why are you here?" Shigeru questioned.
"I come here every night to train," Samus explained, "Recently though, the Wire Frames haven't been appearing. Instead these zombies come out of nowhere and attack. They're worse than the Wire Frames."
"Damn…I came here at the wrong time."
"If you say the Pit look alike is around here, then he must be the reason why the Wire Frames disappeared."
"I guess."
"Do you have a gun?" she asked.
"N-No. Why."
Samus sighed, "You can't be serious. You're in zombie territory now. At least carry a weapon to protect you."
"-sweatdrop- Sorry. I didn't think there would be any-"
"Quiet!"
There was another roar coming from a zombie. Samus turned off the lantern and proceeded into the darkness to shoot the zombie. Gary waited until she killed it. Once she did, she came back.
"Coast is clear," she told him.
Gary continued to follow her. He wished that he could close his eyes, but what good would it do? There was blood all over the place. Why did Samus have to blow off the zombie's head?
Samus continued to slay the zombies. Gary was forced to witness all of the deaths. He never felt so scared in his life. Well the last two times were in the past and when he thought that Giovanni was going to kill him. This was beyond a nightmare though. A nightmare that Ash won't be able to save him this time.
"Damn!" Samus cursed, "The lantern died."
"W-What?"
"Do you have a Pokémon that can light up in the darkness."
"Beside Umbreon…"
"Then use him."
Gary called out Umbreon from his Pokéball. The black Eevee evolution instantly lit up it's body revealing light everywhere.
Samus frowned, "We should hurry."
"How many more rooms?" Gary asked as he and Umbreon chased after the bounty hunter.
"There is this big room that allows access to the Wire Frames. If we can figure out what is wrong with the computers, then these zombies should be able to disappear," she explained, "You're good with computers, right?"
"Of course!"
"Then we should finish this easily."
The next zombie that attacked the two, Samus sliced it into pieces. Gary covered his eyes. How much more blood was he going to see?
"We're almost done," she said.
The two made it to the room. It was just as dark as the hallway. The computer had light to it though, so some of the room was in lit.
Gary instantly ran to the computer to see what was wrong with it.
That's strange. There's nothing wrong with it. Gary thought to himself.
Sure enough, all the buttons were in the same position as Samus left them.
"It seems like no one messed with the controls…" Gary mumbled.
Samus glanced at the computer, "That's strange. Then why are these zombies appearing?"
"You're asking the wrong person."
The two were silent until several growls were heard. Samus got her gun ready as Umbreon was ready to pounce.
Zombies suddenly appeared everywhere ranging from emerging from the darkness of the floor to falling down from the ceiling.
Samus instantly started blowing their heads off with her gun. Gary ordered Umbreon to use dark pulse on any zombie that got near them. The zombies kept coming back up for more.
"How many of these zombies are there?" Gary asked.
"Just keep fighting!"
Gary wished he had a weapon. That way he could fight back easily instead of sitting on the sidelines.
One of the zombies took the shape of a Wire Frame and wasn't killed easily by Samus' gun. She used her whip instead, but it had no affect either.
"Now they start merging…" Samus muttered.
The zombies started to join together and sure enough there were at least eight zombies that were as big as a Wire Frame. The rest of the small fries kept multiplying.
"This could be difficult…"
Samus rushed forward toward the zombies and disappeared among them.
"SAMUS!" Gary called out.
The researcher was so focused on the bounty hunter that he wasn't paying attention to his Pokémon. One of the zombies attacked Umbreon from the ground knocking it out.
"Umbreon, return!" Gary called.
The Pokémon was forced back into it's Pokéball. Gary was soon surrounded by zombies. Umbreon was the only Pokeball he brought along. The rest were on Ash's desk.
"Oh no!" Gary cried out.
The zombies lashed out at the researcher. His screams were heard as Samus fought the stronger zombies.
"Blue!" she called out.
Turning her back on the enemy was a big mistake as the zombies took advantage of this and knocked the gun out of her hand.
"Damn!"
The zombies were all over Gary now. It would only be a matter of time before he became one of them.
Dammit…why can't I do anything like Ash can? Gary asked himself as the zombies continued to scratch at him. Why can't my aura fight back these zombies? Please…I want the power to defend myself for a change…
Do you really need the power? asked a voice.
Gary thought he was going crazy for a moment. Who said that?
Do you want the power to protect the ones you love and yourself or not?
The voice was definitely female.
Who are you?
My name is not important, but Pit knows who I am.
Pit does?
Now answer my question. Do you or do you not want power?
I do.
Then take this Rod of Water. I already gave one to Aqua and she can use it well. We can only hope that you can use it too.
With that said, the voice disappeared in Gary's head and a blue rod appeared in front of the researcher. The zombies were still pounding on him when he grabbed it. When he grabbed it, he felt the aura that he had inside him pulsing within him and flowing toward the staff.
Will this work? Gary asked himself.
He was able to lift the rod easily and knock the zombies off of him.
It's so light.
Don't just stand there! Use the rod's special powers!
I thought you disappeared.
Not until I see how well you can use the rod.
Gary nodded his head. He focused his aura into the rod and sure enough a whip similar to Samus' whip but blue appeared from the tip of the rod. He used the whip similar to Samus and sure enough, it had the same results with the lesser zombies.
You are doing good. Now save the bounty hunter.
Gary nodded his head as he continued to use the whip from his rod and rushed to help the bounty hunter. On the way, he used the whip to grab the gun and throw it back at her. She was fighting with her fists and leg attacks now. Samus caught the gun in midair and shot at the bigger zombies. Since it was weakened, it had an effect.
"Thanks."
"Sorry it took so long…"
They couldn't celebrate so soon because the eight bigger zombies decided to merge together to an even bigger zombie that was bigger than the room. When it did, one of it's arms fell to the ground still moving.
"This is not good…" Samus mumbled, "I really wish I wore my power suit now."
Hoshi-Tsuki couldn't take it any longer. Gary had been gone for more than twenty minutes. If he got lost in the mansion is one thing, but the Lived could attack him at any moment. He did the only thing that he could do. He let out a loud screech that bounced off the walls and into the Smasher's ears.
They all woke up with funny results. Lucas screamed into Ike's ear which made him push the blonde off the bed and into Pikachu who let out a cry. The yellow rat ended up using thunder shock to electrocute Ash and Lucas and also the light bulb bringing light back into the room. Sonic ended up pushing his spines against Pit's back when the angel turned around in his bed. This made Pit do a back kick on the hedgehog forcing him off the bed and into Ike who fell on his face. Fox did not hear the screech but was also kicked off the bed and in between Sonic's legs.
"What the hell Hoshi-Tsuki?" Sonic cried out, "Why did you wake everyone up?"
The bat flew down to the hedgehog and explained to him in bat language. Lucas recovered from the thunder shock really fast and translated it.
"Gary isn't here…" Lucas mumbled.
That snapped Ash out of his daze, "GARY?"
Ash sat up and looked around the room. There was no sign of the Pokémon researcher.
"Dammit! Where did he go?" Ash asked.
Hoshi-Tsuki told Lucas who translated.
"He went for a walk and hasn't returned for over twenty minutes."
Ash let out a groan of annoyance, "Couldn't he just wait until morning?"
Ash proceeded to leave when Sonic asked, "Where are you going?"
"To go look for my boyfriend. I can't leave him alone for one damn second! And you should focus on protecting yourself Sonic." Ash grinned at Fox who just woke up, "I think you'll understand."
Ash left when Sonic looked down on the floor to see Fox there.
"What happened?" Fox asked as he tried to stand up.
The blue hedgehog's cheeks lit up.
"How could you Fox?"
"What?"
Sonic swatted Fox away and into Ike. Ike caught him in midair and sighed.
The other Smashers followed behind the raven haired teen. On the way, Ike asked Fox, "So how was the view?"
"-red vein- Shut up."
Samus cursed at herself. Why didn't she bring her power suit? She wasn't that strong without it and in this situation, it was going to cost her and Gary's life.
Gary was doing more damage than the bounty hunter but because he was inexperienced with his weapon, the zombie took advantage of this and seized the brunette with its other arm.
The arm was coated with some strong armor that Samus' gun and whip couldn't infiltrate.
"Hang in there Blue!" she called out.
Gary was unresponsive. He lost most of his aura just trying to cause damage that he didn't have enough to get him out of this condition.
You really can't use the rod after all...I should have known. Aqua is the only one that can use it…
What do I do now?
Nothing. I'm taking that rod back since you are unworthy of it.
NO!
If you can't use it's full power, then it's best if I hold onto it. The rod is happier this way.
When the voice vanished again, the staff evaporated in Shigeru's hands.
"No…I still…"
The brunette was on the verge of passing out when suddenly, a double edge sword flew through the air and sliced off the arm of the zombie. The zombie cried as its hand came out as well as a whole lot of blood.
Samus couldn't see who saved them because that person ran off before he could be seen. She didn't think about it as she ran over to the Pokémon researcher.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"No…" Gary answered, "I really can't fight like Ash at all whether it's in battle or in a situation like this..."
"Blue?"
"She said that I was unworthy of holding that rod…"
"Who is she?"
Samus didn't get an answer because the zombie proceeded to stomp on them. That was until a Smasher came up behind it and punched it in the head so hard that its brains fell out of its head. The head fell off as well.
"I don't see what Snake and Falcon see in you. You can't even protect a child and yourself."
Samus glared at the Smasher, "Should I be saying thanks Ganondorf?"
"No."
The zombie ended up collapsing to the ground. When the big one died, all the little ones that were still around died with it.
"I could get you punished by Master Hand for coming in this area," the villain of Hyrule began, "But since I'm having fun watching Zelda suffer, I'm keeping this a secret."
Samus turned away and she picked up Gary and threw him on her back with his face to hers and walked out of the room.
"Your welcome," Ganondorf said sarcastically.
Ash and the others were searching for Gary for at least ten minutes and couldn't find him anywhere.
Sonic and Lucas were on the verge of crashing for the rest of the night. Ike was stuck carrying Lucas on his back as Pit allowed Sonic to rest on his. Fox stayed on Ash's left shoulder away from the blue wonder. Pikachu was on Ash's right shoulder using its ears to hear anything out of the ordinary.
"Where are you Gary?" Ash called. It was hard to move around the mansion with it party destroyed. The only path that Gary could have walked now was the dark part of the mansion. I told him not to go there! Did he not get my warning?
As Ash proceeded to the dark part of the mansion, he was stopped upon seeing Samus coming out of the dark part of the mansion with Gary on her back.
"GARY!" Ash cried out as he ran toward his boyfriend, "What happened Samus?"
"He followed me to the dark part of the mansion," she explained, "And we were attacked by zombies. He almost died back there."
Samus allowed Ash to take Gary off his back. The Pokémon trainer than sat down and shook the brunette asking him to wake up. Pikachu and Fox jumped off of him while he attempted to wake his boyfriend up. The other Smashers came onto the scene.
Gary slowly opened his eyes. Ash was the first person he saw and instantly glanced away.
"What happened Gary?" Ash asked in worry.
"I was useless again…" Gary mumbled.
"What do you-"
"I let Samus down and almost got us killed! I couldn't even defend myself!"
"Ga-"
"She said I was unworthy of the Rod of Water and took it away when I was going to die. I'm that useless."
The Pokémon researcher started to cry. The raven haired teen allowed him to cry on his shoulder. He only understood half of it but all he knew for certain was that he faced another life and death experience…again.
"Don't cry Gary…everything will be okay…" Ash mumbled.
Gary didn't hear him as he continued crying.
When Rod of Water was mentioned, Pit knew who it was that tried to give him power but took it back because she thought he was unworthy. This happened with Aqua as well.
Queen Neptune must have hurt him. Pit thought to himself, Now I have to ask Aqua to speak to her.
Me: TBC with 11031 words.
Yohko: I thought the fighting scene would be longer.
Me: There were a lot of scenes that I took out or shortened in this chapter. Here are some.
1. I was going to add the whole argument that the Smasher's where it got to the point that Ike, Wolf, Samus, and Pikachu left the room.
2. The confession between Knuckles and Sonic would have been longer.
3. Toon Link and R.O.B. were going to be among the Smashers that stopped the reporters, but then TL would be yelled at by Ike. Additionally it was Li that was going to hack R.O.B. and post the video on Youtube, but because Zelda has nothing to do with Pit, he allowed Midna to do it.
4. The fighting scene of Samus and Gary vs. the huge zombie would have been longer, but since Gary can't fight that well, he would end up using the same moves as Samus making the fighting scene boring so I cut it out.
Notes!
1. Yuna is from Final Fantasy 10 and 10-2. Her role will be critical to what happens to Sonic later on. After all, Sonic kept staring at the Valefor statue.
2. Chocobo is that annoying bird that is in the Final Fantasy series. They're annoying but they are so cute. The Chocobo that Pepper has is based on the one from Final Fantasy 9 in which the Chocobo can change its color. The name Chobi is the Chocobo name from Final Fantasy Unlimited and yes, it annoys everyone in this story like it does in the anime.
3. Ulala is a character from the SEGA series. She is from Space Channel 5 and she is reporter which is why she appeared. She is good friends with Sonic in the story. Her role in the story is to support Fox and Sonic for being together which she'll appear again later for that purpose.
4. Alex Kidd is a character from the SEGA series. He was originally the SEGA mascot until Sonic came along in 1991 replacing him completely. He was hardly heard from again…until he was a playable character in Sega's Superstar Tennis. You would think after all of this time he would try to kill Sonic for taking that popularity from him, and that's what he's going to do in this story. Try to kill him.
5. This person is from Pit and Aqua's mission a year after Li's supposed death which was six years ago. As Pit mentioned that it had to do with a Great Flood in the human world. Let's just say that this was an underwater mission kind of similar to the one that Sora did in Kingdom Hearts I. The only difference is the bad guy they had to stop. At the end of the chapter, the name of this person is Queen Neptune and in the next chapter, Pit will mention that she is one of Palutena's friends as Neptune is the queen of the ocean in Pit's world.
6. Rod of Water is one of the weapons that Yuna uses in Final Fantasy 10. Not the strongest rod but has a water element. This is the name of Aqua's staff that she uses in battle.
Enough about the notes. Now you all know that Aqua isn't completely mute as she is in chapter 12. Let's just say for that that the mission she had with Pit six years ago gave her the ability to speak again but not that much.
We all know now that Hoshi-Tsuki is a SEGA character killed by Alex Kidd. Can you guess who it is now? The hint in the last chapter was HT.
Oh yeah! Before I forget, Midna and Li are teaming up in this story for their own reasons, but we all know that Midna isn't evil, and if she's friends with Li then you can assume isn't necessary evil. Okay, the one who saved who saved Gary was Li. Why he saved him will be revealed in the next chapter.
Now I'm done. Please review. I'm going to start a website dedicated to this story eventually. I tried to start it at school…but I don't have enough time to finish it, and it's school appropriate. I swear people can't handle homosexuality…when the school is full of lesbians! So what I'm asking is to continue to contribute pictures of scenes from this story and post it on Deviant Art. You will be praised. I will now rant about Brawl.
Yohko: If you don't want to listen, stop here and review. Otherwise, continue.
Me: Let's see. Nothing much happened. I got Kirby Air Ride and I've been playing that game more. I'm loving the Dragoon star. You can fly FOREVER with that machine. But I still think the Hydra would have been better in Brawl because once the machine is charged up, it will destroy anything as soon as it hits. It happened when I was fighting King DDD in the game. One hit and he was dead!
And then there is Star Fox where I keep yelling the dinosaur Tricky to not get lost and stuff. He could have been an assist trophy. He would probably just run away though, but his flame attack would have been good. Or he could just ram into the opponents like Ganondorf's Final Smash does.
And that's it~ Ja ne!
Well I had to make different references to other games. I added Ace Attorney reference as Ike would find shouting annoying, but I love the game of course.
And Isaak's letter is different with all the German words in it. If you go to google translate, they mean, black, princess, white and peace in that order. And of course all the th words are replaced with z.
I noted that the royal bodyguards can summon in the actual story. Still, Pit is the only one lacking a guardian force as usual but you know it's Alexander anyway.
Now I mention another angel that hasn't been introduced. Because VampireFriend isn't online anymore, I have to make sure I don't use her OC characters, so instead of Yuki being the main librarian, I made a new OC called Ninian or Nina for short who takes care of the library. She's Russian by the way. Her last name is yet to be revealed for good reasons.
So I joked about the whole zombie thing being similar to Resident Evil. I look back and think, "Needs to be scarier." What's scarier than a zombie game? "Amnesia..." And all is history...
But I think I should explain why Gary is feeling insecure since people seem to miss it originally. So during the climax of fighting Team Galactic, Gary apparently loses to Saturn horribly despite having the advantage and everything. It takes that one battle to crush Gary's confidence because Gary was forced to sit on the sideline and watch Ash, Dawn and Brock risk their lives to save the Lake Trio. This insecurity is why Gary wants to prove himself to Ash. It's seen in the Kanto arc to whenever he loses and Gary seems to be in a state of shock like when he lost to Mewtwo. But that's why Gary freaks out when he can't be of any use here. The loss in the Sinnoh arc is what drives him to do better.
