The Kidnapped

Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers Brawl or any of the characters. I only own Sun-Wong, Isaak, Himeno, Li, Roger, Aqua, Mcenche, and Pepper.

Summary: The Smashers finally find the thief and Sonic but when it turns out that the thief has no connection to Li, something makes Pit snap and take his anger out on Sonic. Not good because Li is ready to make Sonic the next victim. Will Pit and Ash be able to protect Sonic, or will Sonic be taken away from them again? And what of the other missing Smashers? Additionally, how are the other royal bodyguards going to get Pit's money if they can't access his account?

Chapter 19: The Kidnapped

The Smashers raced to the thief's room. On the way, Ash asked Peach if she had a perfume bottle. She said no making the Pokémon Trainer frown.

"Why do we need a perfume bottle?" the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom asked.

"You'll see when we get there."

When they made it to the thief's room, everyone was quite stunned upon realizing whose door it was.

"I should have known…" Ike mumbled.

Ash decided to kick the door down like he was in a B&E. He held his breathe as he kicked the door down.

"The shows over Wario! Now give back Sonic and the items you stole!"

Two things were quite surprising. One was that Wario's room didn't stink for some strange reason. The other was that Sonic wasn't tied down to anything. In fact, he was leaning over on Wario's shoulder who was using his computer to play a computer game. Another Smasher was behind Sonic cheering Wario on.

"Beat George Bush up!" the Smasher cheered.

"Roy, what are you doing here?" Marth asked in an exasperated tone.

Roy glanced at the Smashers and sweat dropped, "Crap…"

Everyone was confused. Wasn't Sonic in danger? If so, why is he shown having a good time with the last person they would expect?

"What's going on here?" Ike asked ready to attack someone.

Sonic noticed that Ike was not happy and hopped away from the gluttonous Smasher. Knowing that the hedgehog wouldn't say anything, the red head swordsmen decided to explain.

"I'm in here to watch Wario beat up George Bush. We couldn't get past this level, so we asked Sonic if he could get past the level for us, which he did. And here we all are now watching level 50 Beat up George Bush crap."

"It's entertaining!" Sonic had to add.

"What about the stolen objects…" Peach mumbled.

"Do you have to say anymore?" Roy questioned, "Look around. The room is full of stolen objects."

Sure enough, there were stolen objects everywhere ranging from the alarm clock and Pit's yellow tunic to other things that went missing in the mansion. Some were pictures of other Smashers. Most were the female Smashers naked, but there was at least ONE picture with Pit on the wall. One thing that caught Ash's eyes were a set of porn pictures on the wall of Samus and Lyn doing…you know…

"You lucky bastard!" Ash cursed, "I want a yuri picture too!"

"Take one," Wario said not looking away from the computer, "I have too many of them. Can't expect to sell them all on Ebay."

"That's why you stole items from other people?" Lucas questioned.

"What could I do? I don't make as much money as everyone else does. The only thing I can do is steal stuff from the more popular Smashers and sell it on Ebay for big bucks. It works."

Pit went over and took his alarm clock and yellow tunic back, "Nobody takes my stuff…" he mumbled.

"What about the Chaos Emeralds?" Fox asked.

"They're right here," Sonic said as he held up a bag with the five Chaos Emeralds, "We made a deal that if I helped Wario get pass the level he couldn't beat, then he would give me back the Chaos Emeralds and anything he stole from our room."

"So there was no need to call me…" Shahra mumbled as she disappeared.

Sonic mumbled a low apology before turning to Pit, "Nothing bad happened to me Pit. You overreact sometimes."

THUMP!

Pit felt something in his chest. It hurt really bad. Here he was all worried over Sonic's wellbeing and here he is having fun with Wario and Roy. He's worrying him again just like the old times where Sonic would go off and not come back until the next day. That part of him hated Sonic for that…and here it was returning to the blue wonder.

Marth frowned, "Roy, you need to go back to your room."

"Why?" Roy asked in an childish tone.

"You haven't been feeling well these past weeks. You need to sleep."

"I'm not tired and I'm not sick!"

"But-"

"And I'm not pregnant like you think I am!"

There this long silence between everyone. Only the noise of Wario using the keyboard to punch George Bush in the face was heard.

"Then why did the pregnant test-"

"You read it wrong Marth! I checked before I left and I was perfectly fine."

Marth hid his eyes behind his hair, "Oh…"

"You should still go back with him," Ike told the red head swordsmen, "He was worried sick about you."

"Sometimes I think he worries too much. It's not like he's my mother or anything."

Those words rang in Pit's head. Not his mother…I'm not…

"I'm sorry for treating you like one," Marth began, "But I am worried about you. You skipped out on the karaoke party. That's something you wouldn't do…and I was…"

Roy smiled, "It's okay Marth. I understand. That's just in your personality to worry. But I'm okay."

Sonic couldn't say the same thing for Pit. It wasn't like the angel to worry about him this much. He should be worrying about his own problems instead of worrying about his whereabouts. It hurt him more then ensure him that he was safe.

Pit clenched his fists in anger. Why was the rage building up inside of him because of their conversation?

"So…how much was the yuri pictures worth?" Ash questioned.

"20000 yen (186,439 US dollars)," Wario stated.

"Shit! That's a lot of cash. All hail lesbians!"

All the conversations that were happening now were upsetting Pit terribly. Wasn't everyone worried about the Smasher's disappearance? They were a few minutes ago, but now everyone was laughing and getting along like nothing happened! Isn't Li apart of this to let everyone's guard down?

Fox noticed the anger building up inside of Pit. He was going to say something to the angel when the blue hedgehog beat him to it.

"Hey mom, make sure you don't go looking for me again," Sonic said in a sarcastic tone, "Your son can take care of himself."

Ike was infuriated by this statement and tried to slash Sonic with his Rangell. The hedgehog kept dodging the sword swings and taunting, "You're too slow, dad!" over and over again. Something inside Pit was slowly emerging. He never felt this feeling before. He wanted to unleash it as soon as possible.

Ike gave up trying to attack Sonic after he hid behind Peach.

"Damn brat…" he murmured.

"Come on, step it up!" Sonic taunted playfully.

Peach giggled at the hedgehog's taunt.

The next scene silenced everyone and made everyone glance at the scene. Even Wario, who was in the middle of blowing up George Bush to smithereens stopped what he was doing.

It was a repeat of what Sonic did to Knuckles before he disappeared that faithful when he was raped only it seemed to be in slow motion. Pit pushed Peach out of the way in order to slap Sonic on the cheek like a mother would to her child when he disobeyed her.

"You think this is all fun and games Sonic…" Pit began in a low yet furious tone, "You were lucky that it wasn't Li that took you…"

"Pit, what are you-" Ash was cut off.

"You wouldn't be laughing if Li took you! You would probably be dead by now!"

"Pit…I…"

"And what happens if there weren't more of us here? You wouldn't have been saved! Would you have been able to defend yourself then?"

Sonic was speechless. Pit was thinking outside the box the whole time.

The angel continued to glare at the hedgehog, "Dammit, at times like this, I wish you would disappear and never come back!"

Ash was infuriated by this statement, "Pit, you're going too far!"

Pit shook his head furiously, "No! This isn't the only time where I wished he would disappear! Ever since that incident happened, all he's been doing is clinging to me like a child that can't even fend for themselves! And you Ash Ketchum haven't been helping! You told me that we would help him together, but you just hang out with your boyfriend and leave me with all the work! I had it!"

Ash was pissed now, "Don't bring Gary in this conversation just because I want to hang out with my boyfriend! You're just jealous because you don't have one!"

"Me jealous of a prick that can't even defend himself and needs a woman to protect him? Some boyfriend!"

"What did you say you fag?"

"What did you call me you hypocrite?"

The fight between the two was going out of hand. Ike and Peach tried to break up the fight, but it wasn't working this time. Both strings broke for both of them.

Sonic watched everything from a distance. He let Pit's words sink to him. Did Pit hate him that much that he wanted him to disappear?

Fox hopped onto the blue hedgehog's shoulder and asked if he was okay. He wasn't and probably would never be okay after hearing what his best friend thought of him now.

"Don't let it get to you," Fox told him.

Sonic shook his head sadly, "No…it's true…"

"Sonic!"

The fighting between the two teen Smashers stopped briefly to hear what Sonic had to say.

"I lost myself ever since I that happened. I tried not to rely on anyone…including you Pit. I really did tried to get my life back on track…but I failed miserably. All I am now is a big burden to all of you. My fighting style isn't the same anymore…"

"Sonic, what are you saying?" Peach questioned, "You know that isn't true."

"It is! I made everyone worry again just because I was reckless! I thought about what would happen if I was in that situation, and I realized that I wouldn't be able to do anything. I'm so useless!"

"Sonic, stop it!" Ike told him.

"I'm sorry! I'll resign from Brawl and leave you guys alone…"

Everyone gasped. Sonic resigning? That was overkill.

Fox couldn't stand Sonic like this and neither could Pit. What he meant by disappear wasn't to leave Smash Brothers mansion permanently. He just wanted Sonic to stay away from him and stop clinging to him. Now he was going to lose a friend because of what he said.

Sonic was tearing up on the inside and outside. It hurt the Smashers to see him so broken. Pit and Fox didn't want to see him like this the most. The angel couldn't say anything to him. Not even a simple "sorry" would make anything better because the words that came out of his mouth were words he wanted to say to Sonic for a long time ever since that incident.

"Sonic…" Pit didn't know why he called his name out. It was probably instinct. When he did though, Sonic bolted out of the room at super sonic speed. Hoshi-Tsuki gave chase on his little wings as Fox held onto Sonic for dear life. He passed Knuckles on the way not to Master and Crazy Hand but the dark part of the mansion.

Knuckles came into the room confused.

"I saw Sonic running off. What happened?" the red echidna asked.

The suffocating atmosphere in the room was Knuckles' answer. He knew something bad happened to Sonic, but he wasn't going to do anything about it. The Guardian of Angel Island thought that Sonic would get over it eventually. How stupid he is thinking that.

In another part of the mansion, Lyn was giving chase to Stafy, Shadow, and Jill who joined the little star in the mayhem of the mansion. She was getting pissed off at the black hedgehog helping the little star and the little girl escape her blade.

"Damn you Shadow! Drop those two off so I can cut their heads off!" Lyn shouted.

Shadow shivered at the female swordsmen's threat. He would have dropped the two kids off a while ago if they didn't stop clinging to his spine. It hurt like hell.

"I would if I could Lyn…"

Lyn slashed at the black hedgehog again. She almost cut his head off. Shadow started skating faster but God knows how Lyn was able to keep up with the Ultimate Life form.

"You're the Ultimate Life form, right?" Lyn asked, "Then be heartless and drop them!"

Another reason why he wouldn't drop the kids was because they reminded him of Cream very much.

"Weren't you listening to what I said the first time?"

She wasn't. She slashed again and shattered the window to the left of him. Shadow let out a huge sigh. Not only was Mr. Game and Watch going to be pissed as he usually was, but he wouldn't make it in one peace.

He suddenly felt this strange impulse inside of him and stopped. Stafy and Jill fell off of him. Lyn didn't attack with her sword again though.

"What's wrong?" she asked him confused why he stopped. She was actually enjoying the little chase.

"…Something doesn't feel right…" Shadow answered. He pulled out his Chaos Emerald and frowned. Does it have to do with you Sonic?

Somewhere outside the mansion, Luigi lazily followed Dr. Wright to Elvin Gadd's laboratory which wasn't very far from the mansion. Luigi introduced E-Gadd to Dr. Wright one day. Since then, they been close friends always trying to invent something new and Luigi would be dragged along to be the test subject or to test out the invention. At first he disliked going with them but ever since Pit's stalker appeared making the other Smashers disappeared, it was his best interest to be away from the mansion as much as possible so he wouldn't be the next victim. Ever since Mario proposed to Peach though, he wanted to stay far away from his older brother as much as possible. He didn't want to be in the way of their relationship.

The laboratory that E-Gadd was slightly smaller than Smash Brothers Mansion. But that was only because the professor didn't want a place that big. He just wanted a big enough room so he could work. Dr. Wright thought differently though. They never fought about it though because they were too busy making their projects.

There recent project was a hand held mirror. E-Gadd dubbed it the "Tranquil Hearts". The name did not make sense to Luigi. Not like the other inventions that E-Gadd invented had any better names. Basically this item supposedly allowed the person using it to look inside a person's heart to see if there was good and bad in it. If all is happy go lucky heart nothing would happen. However, if the person has a dark heart, the mirror reflects what is making the person suffer. The person will be viewed as someone dangerous though and must be dealt with.

"I don't know how this is going to help with what's happening with Pit…" Luigi mumbled as he held the mirror in front of his face.

"You should be able to find out about what he is feeling for the situation and this stalker that is stalking him," E-Gadd explained, "You might be able to prevent something. Just don't drop the mirror."

Right on cue. Luigi dropped the mirror. Good thing it didn't break. Dr. Wright said that he put glass that wouldn't shatter in this mirror. Luigi wasn't going to have bad luck for a while.

"I think I should just give this to one of the assist trophies and have them give it to Pit instead of you," Dr. Wright said as he picked up the mirror, "You might damage it more than it already is."

Luigi felt offended by this. It wasn't his fault that he was so clumsy!

The plumber turned to leave. Dr. Wright reflected the back of Luigi and gasped what he saw in the mirror.

"There is darkness in his heart…" Dr. Wright said as Luigi walked out of the laboratory.

"What?" E-Gadd asked, "My assistant showing darkness in his heart? Impossible! My mirror must be broken! I have to fix it again!"

E-Gadd snatched the mirror from him and continued working on the already finished mirror. Dr. Wright shook his head. Elvin Gadd was known for being in denial when it came to Luigi in general. The plumber was like a son to him and just like any father, they would be in denial if their child showed this much darkness that the mirror showed.

The mirror reflected Luigi sitting down in the darkness all alone. The location seemed to be from Luigi's Final Smash the Negative Zone. Dr. Wright couldn't predict why this darkness was so strong. He just hoped that Luigi doesn't do something stupid that might hurt not only those around him but himself as well.

He didn't know where he was. All he knew was that he felt pain throughout his body. It was stupid to be alone with his greatest enemy and now he was paying for it. The villain of Hyrule couldn't possibly rape him in his room, so he used his dark magic to move him to a room that was on the dark side of the mansion where no one would dare to go. With the zombies and Wire Frames hanging around, no one would save him from this hell.

"Your amazing in bed. Did you know that?" the villain of Hyrule asked him.

He did not respond. He felt like he lost his voice from all the sucking he had to do.

"We should do this again Link," the villain began, "Meet me here tomorrow night. Tell no one."

Link was tired of listening to him. He would kill Peach for making that love potion. Now it took a turn for the worse because Ganondorf awoken a power that a love potion is known for. Absolute devotion to one that the love potion made him fall in love it. It ruined his life was what it did instead of being happiness like it would in a fairytale.

"You understand, love?"

"Yes…Master Ganondorf."

His voice wasn't his own anymore. It was that of an empty doll. How long would he be like this? How long will it be until someone notices that something is wrong? Where were the other Smashers when you needed them?

They're so busy trying to help Pit out when he doesn't want any help. That's what they're doing. Link told himself.

Link got out of the bed and proceeded to leave. Ganondorf stopped him just by telling him to stop. He couldn't even get his body to do what he wanted to do anymore.

"I sense others here. Stay in this room and don't come out until I tell you," Ganondorf ordered as he got out of the bed and began to get dress.

"Yes…Master Ganondorf."

"And have I mentioned how you look from the back?"

The Hero of Time just wanted to sit in his own room and cry his eyes out, but not a single emotion came out. Just a blank stare at the door which would have been temporary freedom.

What Ganondorf sensed was Sonic's presence in the dark part of the mansion. The hedgehog didn't want to go back to his room. He couldn't even call it his room anymore if he was resigning. He was such a coward that he didn't even go to Master Hand and ask if he could resign. All he was doing was running away from everything.

"Sonic, you have to go back," Fox warned him, "It's too dangerous here."

Sonic shook his head, "I'm not going back…"

"Sonic!"

"What's the point in going back? Nobody wants me here anyway!"

"That's not true…"

Sonic smiled sadly as he continued walking down the familiar dark path.

"You know something Fox…" Sonic began in a low tone.

"What is it?"

"I never really wanted to join Brawl…"

Fox was surprised at this, "What do you mean?"

"There was a poll going around in Japan telling people to write down the person they wanted in Brawl…"

"No…"

"It was between five people that we all know so well. It was Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Cloud from Final Fantasy 7, Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia, Mega Man from his series, and me. I don't know why I won the poll…"

"Are you telling me that the request of the fans of Smash Brothers asked you to participate?" Fox questioned.

"I was going to turn it down to spend more time at the Superstar Tournament…but fans were more important than how I felt…so I got in…"

"So…"

"I ended up leaving my friends behind to join…"

"But you made more friends."

"They all hate me now for being a huge burden. I know they wanted someone as strong and reliable as Sora to join. Why did it have to be me?"

"Because we need you," Fox answered.

Sonic looked at the little fox like he was crazy.

"If it weren't for you, we would all would have been killed by Tabuu."

"I was this close to not even coming to save everyone," Sonic pointed out.

"But you did and we are all grateful for that."

Sonic shook his head, "Stop trying to make me feel better. If it was Sora that saved everyone, they would have been cheering."

"Stop comparing yourself to someone like him! You're both different!" Fox shouted.

Hoshi-Tsuki agreed as he replied with a screech of delight.

Sonic stopped walking and glanced back at Fox, "How many Smashers were happy that I'm in Brawl?"

Fox couldn't answer that question. He knew that some of the Smashers complained about him being in Brawl. He was one of the few that didn't really care. Thinking it about it then and now though…he was glad that Sonic was accepted.

"I'm glad that you're in Brawl," Fox told him, "Along with Pit, Red, Mario, Peach…heck! Even Ike and Wolf are grateful!"

Sonic blushed slightly when he heard that Fox was happy for him for being in Brawl.

"And I'm positive that Stafy and Lyn are happy for Shadow being an assist trophy."

"It was suppose to be Tails but again…the fans wanted Shadow and they replaced my buddy at the last minute," Sonic said with a sigh.

Fox could tell from his tone of voice that he was feeling a little better talking with the leader of Star Fox.

"Both of you were unhappy in the end. Fans are so evil…"

"Tell me about it. Look what happened to Deviant Art. All you see is yaoi and all of us Smashers out of character."

The two laughed at that joke. Fangirls were evil when it came to that kind of stuff.

"Think of it this way," Fox began, "If Sora or Cloud were in the game instead of you, imagine the fan base."

Sonic tried to picture the fan base. When he did, his face turned slightly green.

"GROSS!"

"Ike's going to have a lot of competition if that ever happened."

"Or Link would have more then one suitor than just Marth."

The two laughed thinking about that pairing. It wasn't going to happen. Only in a fangirls dreams because Marth has Roy and Link…is straight…right?

"I'm glad you're feeling better," Fox finally said getting back on subject instead of talking about yaoi fangirls and their crazy ass pairings.

Sonic smiled faintly, "Thank you…Fox…"

"Hmm?"

"I really am a burden. You doing everything to cheer me up proves it."

Fox's cheeks lit up bright red, "Y-You're not a burden! You really need to have more confidence in yourself or end up like Lucas."

"That's what Pit said a long while ago…"

At the mention of the angel's name, Sonic frowned again. Pit's words still rang in his head and they hurt a lot. He wanted to believe what Fox told him but Pit's opinion about him seemed more important than the actual facts.

"Fox…I got a question…" Sonic began.

"And that is?"

"Do you think Pit hates me?"

All the Smashers in Wario's room minus Wario and Pichu went after Sonic. Marth and Roy only stopped when the redhead swordsmen announced that he had to use the bathroom and it would take a while. The blue haired swordsmen sighed as he decided to guard the door to make sure that Roy wouldn't try to run off on him again.

Lucas was starting to chicken out the closer they got to the darker part of the mansion. He cowered behind Peach who comforted him. Ike was making sure that Pit and Ash didn't get into any fight while they were getting there. Snake only tagged along because Pit didn't give him the album with Samus pictures in it. Knuckles came to make sure that he was right that Sonic was going to be okay.

Pit thought of many things as they hurried to the dark part of the mansion. He wanted to apologize to everyone. He wanted to apologize to Sonic for lashing out at him, Ash for putting all the blame of taking care of Sonic himself on him, Gary for being the reason that Ash wasn't helping him when he hasn't done anything to harm anyone in anyway ever since they brought him back to Smash Brothers Mansion, Ike because he wasn't helping the situation and causing him to stress, Peach for pushing her out of the way, Marth and Roy for thinking that they were the reason he snapped and Lucas and Snake for setting a bad example. The one he wanted to apologize the most to was himself for letting himself lose it. If he was on a mission with the royal bodyguards, him losing his temper would be the end for him and his followers.

Pit glanced at Ash but quickly looked away. He had no right to talk to the Pokémon Trainer after what he said about Gary. He looked at Ike who gave him a reassuring look that everything would be okay. That was all Pit needed to keep going.

As soon as they entered the dark part of the mansion, they heard a scream. Pit's eyes widened in horror as he felt a familiar aura.

"NO!" Pit shouted as he rushed toward the scream.

After Sonic's question, Fox answered that he was positive that Pit didn't hate him.

"I hope you're right…" Sonic mumbled.

"We should turn back now…"

Sonic reluctantly agreed. When he turned to head back to the light part of the mansion, Hoshi-Tsuki screeched really loud that hurt Fox's ears.

"What now?" Fox questioned the bat in annoyance.

Fox really didn't have to answer that question. The two turned around and gasped.

"Sonic, make a run for it!" Fox instantly told him as they saw the Pit look alike behind him.

Sonic was too scared too move. Li's eyes were staring down at him. The look he gave him reminded him of Pit.

"Sonic!"

"Game over hedgehog," Li said in a playful tone as he prepared his dark beam.

Hoshi-Tsuki and Fox tried to get Sonic to move. The hedgehog wouldn't budge…until the last second when the dark beam was fired. Sonic didn't run, but instead, he grabbed Hoshi-Tsuki and Fox and threw them away from the beam. Both were stunned at his actions. Fox was certain that he saw Sonic crying again as the dark beam covered him. He was horrified upon the dark beam disappearing leaving a Sonic trophy behind. At that moment, Pit and Ash came on the scene horrified at what they saw.

"SONIC!" Pit cried out.

"He can't hear you anymore," Li told him as he quickly swooped down and grabbed the Sonic trophy, "I guess I'll make my leave now."

"I won't let you!" Ash shouted as he rushed over and tried to punch the dark angel. Li instantly dodged it. This gave Fox and Hoshi-Tsuki the opportunity to grab at his black tunic and hang on as Li quickly flew off deeper into the dark part of the mansion.

"WAIT!" Pit shouted as he took flight and flew after the dark angel.

Ash was going to follow them if Ike didn't step on his head and ran after Pit. Peach, Lucas, Knuckles, and Snake stayed behind to help him up.

Li was far ahead of Pit right now and could easily make his get away. All he had to do was get rid of the bat and fox that were clinging to his tunic. Were they that desperate to save the blue hedgehog?

The dark angel summoned his faithful bats to knock the two off. While Hoshi-Tsuki was fighting against a lot of them and was winning, the bat was forced to let go of Li leaving Fox to try and get Sonic back. It was futile since Fox was too small to even cause some serious damage.

"What is your motivation for saving him?" Li had to ask Fox, "He's useless. No one wants him, yet you still try to save him. Why?"

"Sonic is really dear to me," Fox began, "And I won't let you take him."

Li scoffed, "Too bad. I am. This is where you stop clinging to me."

Li stopped flying in order to grab Fox with his free hand. He threw him at the rest of the bats. Fox manage to pull a black feather that was in the back of his tunic though. That black feather stood out from the rest. The dark angel didn't noticed and continued to glide through the halls.

Pit was catching up to him. He saw the bats ahead of him and cut most of them in half. Hoshi-Tsuki killed most of them surprisingly though. The angel caught Fox in his left hand and placed him on his right shoulder.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"No…" Fox mumbled, "I feel like my bones are crushed…then again, Master Hand does it all the time..."

Pit ignored the answered and continued the chase. He knew that Ike was behind him telling him to stop for some strange reason. He didn't care. He had to save Sonic from Li.

Li was too far up ahead from Pit. When he reached a certain part of the mansion, he disappeared in the purple smoke that was surrounding the area. Fox gasped and told Pit to stop going up ahead. The angel refused to listen.

Ike miraculously caught up to him and grabbed his wings pulling him back.

"What are you doing Ike?" Pit asked in anger, "Let me go! I have to save Sonic!"

"You don't know what's out there!" Ike told him. He was using most of his strength to get Pit to stop that he had to drop Rangell.

"This mansion is the dangerous part of the mansion…" Fox began, "Only Ganondorf and Bowser could tolerate this part. Anyone else would probably end up as a zombie or a meal for the Wire Frames or whatever is behind the smoke. I hate to admit this Pit, but we lost him."

"NO!" Pit shouted, "I still sense Li's presence! I can still catch up to him!"

Pit's struggle became futile. Ike was not letting him go.

Not again! Pit thought to himself. It's just like that time I couldn't do anything for Li! NO!

Ike noticed that the angel was losing strength and slowly released him from his grip. The angel ended up falling on his knees. The blue haired swordsmen turned away from the angel as he said words that he didn't want to hear again.

"I couldn't save him…"

Pit punched the floor with his right fist and kneeled down. Tears started to flow from his eyes and no matter how much he tried to old it in, they kept coming like rain at a funeral. Ike didn't want to see his tears but could not say anything to lighten the mood.

Pit wasn't the only one who was crying. Fox was crying too. He was right there when Sonic was taken yet didn't have the power to protect him. All he got in the end was this black feather that had no use.

Back in Heaven, the royal bodyguards had a problem. They all knew what they wanted to get Li for his 18th birthday, but they had no money! Palutena wasn't helping either. You would think that the Goddess of Light would be generous and give you enough money to buy all the stuff?

Palutena had a good reason not to give the royal bodyguards her supply of valuable that were worth a lot of money. The main reason was that the price would have been over 100000000 yen (932,198,344 US dollars). Angel Land would go bankrupt if the royal bodyguards got the money from her. (A reason why they need Pit there so he could keep them all from spending so much).

Plan A didn't work, so they went to Plan B. Plan B was hacking into Pit's account and take all of his money that the Angel Land ATM could have. Would have been good if they knew the password.

"Nice plan Isaak," Pepper said in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, if you can figure out the password, zen we can take all of his money."

"Palutena," Pepper guessed.

Isaak put that in. It didn't work.

"Next."

"Death," Roger guessed.

Isaak didn't like that one. Pit wouldn't have that word as a password.

"Princesse Himeno?"

"Light?" she guessed.

Isaak put that one in and that one didn't work.

"Your mom," Mcenche joked.

"Be serious!" Pepper shouted.

"Fine! Captain?"

Isaak put both of them down and both did not work.

"The 'your mom' one was a good guess though," Isaak joked, "Next."

"Alexander?" Sun-Wong guessed.

"Who is that?"

"It's the light Aeon. You know we all have a summon creature."

"I haven't seen him use it."

"I don't think he has one."

Isaak typed the name it. It didn't work again.

"I'm out of ideas."

"Ike," Aqua suggested.

"That swordsmen dude?" Isaak questioned, "There is NO way that Armpit would put that guys name as password."

"It would be so easy to get into his account," Pepper told the 7th seat girl.

"try…" she mumbled.

Isaak put those three letters in…and it worked!

Everyone minus Aqua jaw dropped.

"Armpit really needs a better password than that," Isaak said with a sigh.

"Pitiful," Roger joked.

"Don't take the names I come up for him!" Isaak shouted as he checked to see how much money was in his account. His eyes became as wide as watermelons, "What the hell! He's a billionaire!"

"Well duh! He's in Brawl," Pepper told him with a sigh.

"Okay…well…I'm taking 10000000000 hearts (93,217,831,026 US dollars)."

"-sweatdrop- Do we need that much?" Mcenche asked.

"We need the money for presents," Himeno stated, "As well as birthday ornaments, food for everyone, souvenirs and-"

"YAOI!" Pepper finished.

Himeno laughed nervously, "Yes yaoi and the Brawl game itself. I'm surprised that Pepper has a Wii but doesn't have Brawl."

"I'm sorry if I play Tales of Symphonia!"

"We need to see what Pit is doing in Brawl," Sun-Wong told her, "We don't need you playing over 80 hours of Tales of Symphonia just to get the gay endings!"

"But I like Lloyd/Zelos!"

"Why is Lloyd seme?" Sun-Wong questioned.

"And why the hell are we talking about yaoi?" Mcenche questioned losing his cool. He did not like the homosexual subject.

"I can answer both questions. Sun-Wong's question because Zelos is just TOO girly to be seme and yaoi is my life!"

"Yo need to get a life…" Roger mumbled.

That earned the black angel a kick from Chobi which the yellow bird came out of nowhere.

Isaak grunted, "Instead of talking about a gay pairing, could we go now?"

The female royal bodyguards looked at each other and announced, "WE'RE NOT READY YET!"

All the males fell over anime style. This was going to take forever.

Me: TBC with 6960 words.

Yohko: What the hell is up with you and yaoi?

Me: A lot of people ask me that. I love it and I strongly support it!

Yohko: You kind of ruined the mood at the very end…

Me: So? Anything with the royal bodyguards until a certain part of the story is non-serious and these scenes are important because we aren't doing our job.

Yohko: And why did Sonic have to go?

Me: Because I love torturing him. He's not finished yet like the other Smashers that disappeared though. Notes!

1. I was just checking a popularity poll and it seems like Wario is the most unpopular character in the game beside Mr. Game and Watch and Ice Climbers which I don't know why these two are unpopular. I decided to make a reference that the more popular you are, the more money you make in Brawl. From chapter 4, Link and Toon Link are the most popular so earn the most money. This is followed by Sonic, Meta Knight, Pit, and Lucario. This explains how Pit has so much money in his account.

2. On Brawl Wiki and the Luigi trophies itself say that Luigi is overshadowed by Mario A LOT and that opened a dark power within him called the Negative Zone. There are even some pictures of Mario and Luigi where Luigi doesn't seem happy. Super Paper Mario is the biggest reference to Luigi's dark side which they call him Mr. L. This picture right here is cool. You should look at it. I feel sorry for Luigi though. And Super Paper Mario is one of the DARKEST Mario games in the series. No seriously! People ended up dieing in that game. Make sure to add the the http crap when you put in this URL. It's on my favorite's though. kojinkaluigigodzilla./art/Two-Souls-One-Body-84450001

3. Before Brawl came out in Japan, there was a poll that asked people who they wanted most in Brawl. Sepiroth was among the top people who they wanted in Brawl. I still don't know how Sonic won. Personally, I think it would have been Sora. I don't really like Cloud that much. And…Naruto was on the list too…he would have been my punching bag if he was in Brawl.

4. Ever wonder why Sonic came at the very end of SSE instead of the beginning? In most Sonic games, Sonic would instantly rush in to help, but not SSE. The reason for this was because the creator was already ahead of making the game and had no room for him in the main story, so they put him at the end. In this story though, Sonic was more reluctant to come.

5. Again, this had to do with popularity. Since Shadow is the second most popular character in the Sonic fandom, they put him as an assist trophy. Tails was going to be one too, but they took him out at the last minute along with Rosalina and someone else from Mother 3.

6. Sonic was thinking of a threesome.

So…uh…the black feather is very important in the next two chapters. It does something to Fox? Can you guess what it does?

And I'm glad that people are responding to the poll.

So besides grammar and changing how the royal bodyguards talk, there was nothing wrong with this chapter.
