The Lost
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers Brawl or any of the characters. I only own Sun-Wong, Isaak, Himeno, Roger, Aqua, Mcenche, and Pepper.
Summary: Pit and the Smashers try to figure out from R.O.B. where Li is holding Sonic and the other Smashers. When Master Hand finds out that they plan on leaving to find him without his permission, he makes a deal with Pit. If they can save Sonic from Li before midnight, he will let them leaving the mansion slide. Fail and not only will they be punished, but Sonic won't be coming back to the mansion…ever. Pit takes the challenge knowing quite well that six hours isn't enough to find Li. Will the Smashers be able to save Sonic? And Sonic finds out a sad part of Li. Additionally, the royal bodyguards finally leave, but…they end up in Antarctica. WTF?
This is part 1 of 2 of the rescue mission. I'm quite excited about this chapter. And no Sonic isn't gone like the other Smashers that vanished. No, Li wants to have a personal chat with him as well as another SEGA character that wants revenge. Ulala warned Sonic about him. Well, there will be some Saki/Isaac at long last! Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 20: The Lost
"Come on R.O.B., get on the stupid Google Earth, dammit!" Saki cursed at the robot.
After hearing about Sonic's capture, Saki and Isaac instantly went to the computer room where R.O.B. awaited. They tried to get online, but the internet was down. A great way to start the evening.
"Someone must have messed up R.O.B.'s program…" Isaac mumbled looking into the robot's eyes. They weren't responding to anything.
"Must have been the Li look alike…" Saki mumbled looking behind the robot, "Does this guy have any cords or anything that might bring the internet back up?"
The Smashers made it to the computer room, all upset with Sonic's capture and hopeful that Saki knew what he was doing.
After five minutes of the internet not coming back up, Saki shot R.O.B. with his cannon sword forcing Isaac to pull him away from the robot.
"You damn robot! Someone's life is in danger and all you can say is "Page cannot be displayed?" Bullshit!"
"Calm down Saki! Shooting R.O.B. isn't going to solve anything!" Isaac told him.
Saki calmed down, "You're right. It won't."
"-sweatdrop- Then don't throw a fit."
Saki crossed his arms and sighed, "Now what?" He turned toward the other Smashers, "If I can't access the map, then I can't check to see where this Lived person might be keeping Sonic."
"You wouldn't be able to find him…" Pit mumbled, "Li could never be found when we played hide and seek…"
Ash glared at the angel, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Red please…" Peach murmured.
"He's saying that if we don't have any clues to where might Lived might be, then we won't be able to find him using Google Earth," Ike explained.
Ash glanced at the blue haired swordsmen and then looked away annoyed that Ike responded to Pit again.
Fox (who was sitting on Peach's shoulder at the time) was still holding onto the black feather. He was still angry at himself for not being able to protect Sonic possibly more than Pit. Just a little more and he might have been able to knock the Sonic trophy out of Li's hand.
"Maybe…" Fox began, "We could use this feather to track Lived down."
The Smashers turned to the little fox, "How?"
"I think R.O.B. has a tracking advice somewhere in his system. If we could use that, then we could find out where Lived is."
"That might work…" Pit whispered, "But knowing Lived…he wouldn't leave evidence like this…"
"It's worth a try," Ike said.
They all turned back to Saki who gave them a confused look.
"What?"
"Can you hack into R.O.B.'s system to check if it has a tracking advice?" Snake questioned.
"-sweatdrop- Uh…I was never the computer wiz. My fiancé was...hee-hee…"
Everyone except Pit fell over anime style.
"Then what did you do?" Pit questioned immediately.
"I was on the offense like ninety-five percent of the time. I never had to touch a computer," Saki answered.
"Useless…" Pit murmured.
"HEY! Airan wouldn't let me touch a computer!"
"You probably messed up the system if you came in contact with it…"
"I'm hurt…"
The Smashers got back up and turn toward Snake.
"What about you Snake?" Peach asked, "Can't you hack into R.O.B. and activate the tracking device."
Snake shook his head, "I'm with Saki. I'm always on the battlefield that I didn't have to do technical stuff."
"But you have the IQ of 180!" Ash exclaimed.
"Ask someone else."
There was a long pause in the room until a new voice said, "I'll do it. Move out of the way!"
Everyone's eyes widened at the newcomer making his way toward the robot.
"Gary, you're okay!" Ash said.
The Pokémon Researcher gave Ash a thumbs up, "That capsule really works. Since I'm no good at fighting, I think I'll bypass R.O.B.'s structure and use that tracking device."
"Gary…"
"I'm okay Ash, don't worry about it."
Pit couldn't even look at Gary directly. He still felt guilty for saying all those terrible things about him.
Gary started getting to work and boy was he fast. He instantly found out what was wrong with R.O.B. and got him to respond automatically. The Pokémon Researcher then asked for the black feather. Peach handed the feather to Gary, which he showed it to the robot. R.O.B. examined it and then made several weird beeping noises. His head started to turn as it tried to detect Lived with the matching aura of the black feather. Several minutes passed and it couldn't find Li's location. At long last, R.O.B. managed to find the matching aura. A light appeared from the robot's eyes as it showed on the huge computer screen (like the one from SSE). Where Li was the red dot on the map of Japan.
"And here I thought he was gone from this place," Snake said.
Saki glanced at the location and frowned, "In my world, the place where Lived is a military researching lab that was unknown to the public. They used it to experiment on the Ruffians…"
Upon the mentioning of 'Ruffian' though, Saki glanced at his own arm. How long would it take before he became a Ruffian and lose himself again?
"So," Isaac began, "If this Japan has the same layout as the Japan in your world, then that means you could lead us to the place easily."
"Yes."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ash questioned, "Let's go save Sonic!"
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that…" said a voice.
Everyone froze as they turned around to see Master Hand in his human form along with Crazy Hand in his human form as well.
"You plan on leaving this mansion without my permission again?" he asked in his calm tone of voice.
"Well…no Master Hand…I mean…"
"Please Master Hand, this is important!" Peach exclaimed, "Sonic is in danger!"
"As well as everyone else who disappeared," he added, "From what I heard, it seems that you would only save Sonic and abandon the rest of the Smashers that disappeared."
Peach was speechless.
"I can not afford a majority of you guys to disappear," Master Hand told them, "What would those outside of the mansion think?"
In the end, it's always the humans that come first. Pit thought to himself bitterly.
"Are you saying that we should just abandon Sonic?" Knuckles asked in rage. His anger was getting the best of him.
"Don't raise your voice against my brother!" Crazy warned, "He doesn't like to be challenged by those outside of the mansion."
"What did you say?"
"Stand down Knuckles," the princess told him calmly.
"Me stand down to this hot shot? Give me a break! Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds come first before the humans! Sonic is in danger and this Lived has six of the seven Chaos Emeralds! If he gets all seven, we're all doomed!"
"You act like you have no faith in Shadow…" Isaac said in a low tone.
"I do but-"
"Shut up Knucklehead!" Pit spat.
Shocked that Pit called him by the nickname he did not like, he stopped going up against Master Hand. The angel however stood up to him.
"Do you not have faith in your fighters that you live with everyday?" Pit questioned in a bold tone.
Master rubbed his chin before saying, "Are you challenging me?"
The determined look on Pit's face was his answer. Lucas shivered upon feeling the tension between the two.
"Pit, you might be one of my brother's favorite Smashers, but that doesn't mean you can abuse that title!" Crazy warned.
"I'm not," Pit said simply, "I'm just wondering if Master is afraid of going out of business for saving one of us."
"Pit!" Ash shouted but was cut off by Master Hand.
"How serious are you in getting Sonic back from your stalker?" Master Hand questioned.
Everyone turned to Pit to see what he would do. The angel responded by going on his knees in a begging position surprising them all.
"Please Master. Let us go and save Sonic. It was my fault that this all happened. I have to get him back at all cost."
Master Hand was impressed with Palutena's captain. He was like she said. A child that won't take no for an answer. When an angel begs, you can't say no that easily unless you were a heartless being.
"All right. I'll you guys go save Sonic," Master Hand finally said.
The other Smasher's expressions changed from worry to delight. Pit rose his head up from the floor, "Really?"
"But on two conditions," Master Hand continued, "Listen well. It is almost 6:00 PM now. You have until midnight to get Sonic and any of the Smashers back that you happen to find with Lived. At midnight, I will use my power to teleport you guys back to the mansion whether you saved him or not. If you don't have Sonic with you when I teleport you all back, then he will not be allowed to come back to the mansion. Ever."
The Smashers gasped at Master Hand's declaration.
"So you were planning on kicking Sonic out from the beginning?" Fox asked in disbelief.
"It was a hard decision, but I feel like Sonic isn't ready for Brawl," Master Hand explained, "His fighting moves have gotten worse ever since the incident and isn't improving a bit. I can't allow a Smasher who can't recover instantly to continue fighting."
No one can recover from a rape incident that easily. Gary thought to himself. It's just the way we all are.
"Sonic will improve when he gets back, I swear it!" Fox promised.
"Don't make promises you can't keep," Saki told him knowing very well that Sonic wasn't going to change his personality in one day.
"The second," Master Hand continued, "Is that only five of you can go and rescue Sonic. I will not bring the whole mansion with you."
That limited the Smashers plenty. Only five out of the ten Smashers in the room could go.
"What about those that aren't chained to his place?" Knuckles questioned.
"You can go but let me warn you, I might not teleport you back here without a price."
Knuckles chuckled, "That's okay. I always find my way back to places like this."
"Good. Then you can go along as the sixth person, but you will not be teleported back. Pit, do you accept these terms?" Master Hand questioned.
Pit stood up and nodded his head, "Six hours is plenty."
Ash wasn't so sure. From the location on the map, it would take at least two hours to get there just by running at top speed and the rapid fans were going to make it worse. Then infiltrating the base would take hours and Pit might end up facing Li in order to save Sonic resulting in a long battle where they won't be able to get Sonic within the time limit.
"Good. You have fifteen minutes before I allow you guys to go. Choose wisely in who you want to go rescue Sonic. When you're ready, come meet me at the entrance. I will be waiting."
With that said, Master walked out of the computer room with Crazy following him. Ike glanced at Pit and saw the fire in his eyes. He had never seen Pit this determined.
"Pit, is this going to be okay?" Ike asked.
"I'm positive," Pit said, "This is what I was trained for in Heaven. All those missions with the royal bodyguards will pay off at long last."
"So…" Lucas began in a quiet tone, "Who's going to go?"
Everyone turned to Pit.
"Since it seems like Pit is going to be the captain, he's going to be the one that will choose who will go and who will stay," Ash said in a sarcastic tone.
"I already know who is coming with me," Pit answered. He glanced at Gary, "Gary, can you hand me the feather. I want to test something out."
"Umm…okay…"
Gary took the black feather and handed it to Pit. The angel examined it and smiled to himself. Just as I thought. This feather has the same aura as Sun-Wong's book describes it to be.
"What's up?" Fox asked.
Pit glanced at the fox and grinned, "Fox, can you come over here. I want to try something."
Fox gave Peach a worried look before jumping down. The other Smashers moved away as Pit pointed the feather at Fox.
"Just picture yourself your normal size again and this should work," Pit instructed.
Fox obeyed as he closed his eyes and pictured himself his normal, stronger self that would be able to protect Sonic. The angel closed his eyes. A light seemed to be going out of Pit's body and into the feather which was directed to Fox. The leader of Star Fox was engulfed with a black and white light. The other Smashers watched in amazement as Fox began to grow. He continued until he was his normal size again.
"You can open your eyes now," Pit told him.
Fox opened his eyes. He looked around and noticed that things seemed smaller. He looked at his arms and tail and cheered, "Yes! Fox McCloud is back!"
Peach couldn't help but giggle at his statement.
"That's only temporarily…" Pit said.
Fox turned toward him confused, "What?"
"It won't last long. I say that it would take six hours at most before you turned back to your miniature self."
"WHAT?"
"So this isn't a cure?" Gary questioned.
Pit shook his head, "No, this spell can only be used three times. Once the third time has been reached, then you will die."
"That's messed up…" Fox said as his ear drooped down. His body slumped as well.
"I think with this spell, there is a way to stay your normal self permanently…" Pit mumbled.
"And that is?"
"I forgot…"
There were a lot of groans and sighs coming from the Smashers. Pit glanced at Fox and told him, "You shouldn't worry about the effects now though. We have to focus on saving Sonic. And you're coming with me."
"Who are the others?" Snake questioned.
"Ike, Ash, and Saki," Pit answered.
Snake slumped to the floor depressed. When it came to infiltration missions, he was the man for the job. Chances are that he would have blown up everything he saw though along with Saki.
"Why me?" Saki asked.
"Because Japan is where you were born. You know the streets by heart in your world, so you should be able to lead us to this laboratory very easily."
"But there are some minor differences in this Japan and my Japan,"
"For Sonic's sake, will you do it?" Pit questioned.
Saki was quiet for a second before he nodded his head.
"Good. You might want to get your things before we go."
Pit gave Ash and Ike a glance before leaving but not before saying, "Peach and Lucas, just try to act normal around everyone and try to find the Smashers that Snake said were missing. They should still be in this mansion and not captured."
Once the angel was gone, Ike let out a huge yawn before saying, "I'm going to go get my potions. I'll meet you at the entrance Red."
Ash nodded his head before the blue haired swordsmen left. Fox allowed Hoshi-Tsuki to rest on his shoulder for a change. The leader of Star Fox glanced at the Pokemon Trainer before leaving with an unhappy mercenary, Lucas and the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Knuckles followed soon after mumbling about bringing in reinforcements.
Ash glanced at Gary, "Are you going to be okay by yourself? It's not safe here."
"I know," Gary said calmly, "But Sonic comes first Ash. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just focus on saving your friend."
"Gary…"
Before Ash and Gary got into their make out scene, Saki and Isaac quickly left the room dragging R.O.B. with them.
Saki and Isaac were technically alone in the hallway. Saki was trying to memorize the map, so he could lead the Smashers to Sonic without getting lost and wasting precious time.
"Saki," Isaac began, "You know what this means?"
"Hmm?"
"If you guys succeed in this mission, Master Hand might allow you to be in the fourth Smash lineup…"
Saki shook his head, "I like being an assist trophy."
Isaac was shocked, "You do?"
"Yeah! We stay in battle for fifteen seconds at least, but we're invincible and can cause massive damage to everyone!" Saki explained.
"But our boundaries…"
"Plus, I got to meet some cool people just by becoming one." Saki stopped walking as he continued his speech, "For example, I met someone who resembles my fiancé, an emo hedgehog, a cute starfish, and-"
"Shadow isn't emo and Stafy is a star. Not a starfish," Isaac corrected.
"I knew that. Anyway, the one I'm most happy to meet…is…" Saki paused as he glanced at the blonde. Isaac was blushing the longer he stared at him, "You…"
Isaac turned his head away embarrassed, "D-Don't say things like that! We all know that you're straight and want to get in bed with Lyn, so stop acting like you want to make love with me!"
Saki frowned, "Who said I was straight?"
"…Mr. Resetti."
"I'm going to play Whack-A-Mole with that animal when I come back…" Saki mumbled in an angry tone.
"You're not straight?"
"I'm bisexual. There's a difference there!"
"…"
The two glanced at R.O.B. for a second. Saki couldn't bring the robot with him to show the map. Ash will probably end up getting a communicator from Gary at the very least.
"Umm…" Isaac began in a shy tone.
"What is it?"
"I…uh…"
Isaac searched through his pockets and pulled out a ring. It had a hawk as the jewel part of the ring. He took Saki's hand and put it on his pinkie finger.
"It's a War Ring…" Isaac began, "It should help you if you run any trouble…it helped me when I was fighting in my world…so…"
The blonde removed his hand from Saki. The dirty blonde looked at it and gave a blank stare, "It's rather small."
"T-That's because I-"
"You have small hands. I understand that."
Isaac was flustered again. His face became more red when Saki took this opportunity to seize Isaac in a passionate kiss. R.O.B. was not happy and closed his eyes not wanting to see anything.
The kiss lasted for two minutes before they pulled apart.
"I'll see you when I get back," Saki told him.
"Please be careful…"
Saki gave him a wink as he rushed off to the entrance of the mansion. Isaac was left there to stare at Saki's back as it got smaller and smaller.
What have I gotten myself into? Isaac questioned himself.
R.O.B. gave a robotic noise that would have translated to "I don't know." Isaac looked at the robot and then sighed.
Fifteen minutes was almost up. Ash and Pit were not waiting at the entrance yet. Ike waited impatiently for them. When the two came, it seemed that they came to some sort of truce that allowed each other to speak to one another again without feeling awkward. Ash had a watch of some sort on his right arm. Pit seemed to be carrying one of Sonic's gold rings which he stuffed somewhere in his tunic.
Once all the Smashers (and assist trophy) were gathered, Master Hand grinned. Pit had chosen a decent team to go rescue Sonic. Although Master would have considered Snake a better choice than Ash mainly because of battle experience.
"Good news!" Master began, "Since you guys are going to a destination far away from here and since I don't want some horde fan girl getting our phone number, I decided that you will be able to use the Air Ride Machines."
Fox's eyes widened, "But they belong to Kirby and Meta Knight! We can't just take them without their permission."
"Meta Knight will allow it," Crazy told him, "And Kirby wouldn't care as long as it isn't his Warp Star. Anyway, you cannot choose Dragoon or Hydra Star. Choose from any of the others."
With that said, Crazy snapped his fingers and almost all the Air Ride Machines appeared in front of them. Pit decided that he would be flying the whole way though. Fox wanted something that resembled his Arwing, so he chose the Jet Star. Ike wanted to keep up with Pit in the air, so he chose Wing Star despite not liking the pattern on it. Saki chose Shadow Star because it was the strongest machine that could fly in the air for a while. Since Saki was also a risk taker, it was no wonder he chose it.
Ash was about to get on the Flight Warp Star when he heard a familiar cry. Ash slowly turned his head toward the voice.
"I'm sorry Pikachu, but you're going to have to stay here…" he told his yellow Pokémon.
"Pika pi…"
Ash smiled sadly as he petted Pikachu on the head, "I'll be okay. Just look after Gary for me while I'm gone, okay?"
Pikachu nodded his head sadly. He started to walk away from his trainer. He gave Ash one last glance before racing over to Crazy Hand.
"Where is Knuckles?" Ike questioned.
As if Ike really needed to ask that. Knuckles came flying on an Extreme Gear that seemed to belong to Shadow.
"Miss me much?" he asked.
The Smashers ignored him.
"Okay," Master Hand began, "Now that you all have something to fly you across the city, you may leave in ten seconds…"
Master Hand started counting down like it was a race to see who could get to the laboratory first. Ash quickly pulled his hat backwards. Saki made sure his hair wasn't in the way and that the ring would stay on. Knuckles was ready to fly through the air. Fox was turned on his scanner. Ike glanced at Pit who was ready to spread his wings. Pit was determined to save Sonic within the time limit. It was just like an role playing game somewhat.
"Three…two…one…GO!" Master Hand shouted.
With that, Crazy Hand snapped his fingers and the door opened. All the Air Ride Machines and Extreme Gear took off at extreme speed. Pit waited for them to be ahead so he could open his wings and take off at blinding speed.
Once Pit was gone, Crazy close the door. Pikachu let out a worried cry. Master Hand said a few words that they wouldn't be able to hear.
"Make me proud. Don't make me regret allowing you guys in Brawl."
Midna snickered upon seeing Li in slight panic. That black feather that was next to the black rose was gone and that was all because Midna decided to attach it to Li when he went to capture Sonic. It's funny how he lost an item that was so important that if the good guys got it, they would become stronger.
"Dammit Midna! Why did you have to attach that feather on my tunic?" Li asked quite annoyed. It's surprising that he didn't sound angry. Just annoyed.
"I thought you would notice," Midna said with a laugh, "You're stronger than Pit, so you would think that you would notice the aura."
Li turned away. Midna could tell that he was flustered from that simple mistake.
"I can't help it if I lose feathers from flying."
"…Tee-hee."
"I'm going to kill you when I complete my mission…" Li murmured. Midna knew he wasn't serious though.
"You wouldn't kill me," the Princess of Twilight told him simply, "You have goodness in your heart unlike the other men I've befriended."
"I'm not your friend, and I'm the same as those pathetic humans…"
"You're not. Isn't that why you turned that hedgehog back into his original form as soon as he got here?"
Li scoffed, "I only did that for that guy to beat him up and take his revenge…"
"And what happens if that guy kills him when you're not in the room?"
There was a long pause. Li gave Midna a look that could kill. Midna let out a cackle as he sped walk out of the room cursing to himself.
"He does have a heart," Midna told herself.
This darkness is familiar. Have I been in it before?
You have?
W-Who said that!
I'm disappointed in you Sunny-boy. To not be able to recognize your uncle's voice.
Uncle Chuck? Where are you?
With your mother and father away from you.
W-Why?
You should have been born a daughter. If you were, we wouldn't have died in vain.
That's not…
You should die in this hellhole right now!
No! Uncle Chuck, please help me! I don't want be in this darkness again!
DIE!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Sonic opened his eyes as soon as he was hit by the beam of light that attacked him in his nightmare.
Uncle Chuck really hates me… Sonic thought to himself.
The blue hedgehog looked around and saw nothing but darkness. Was he still in his nightmare? No, there was light coming from a computer to the left of him meaning he was still alive. He tried to walk over to the light, only to realize that his feet were off the ground and his hands were chained up as the chain hung from the ceiling.
What the?
"Your finally awake blue hedgehog," said a voice, "Now my revenge can start."
Sonic flinched upon hearing the voice. Oh no…
The figure emerged from the shadow with an axe in hand ready to chop someone's head off. The figure was none other than Alex Kidd. The killer of one of his best friends at SEGA Superstar Tennis Tournament.
"W-Why are you here?" Sonic asked. He tried not to sound scared, but he was. You would be too when a killer has an axe in his hands ready to chop your bones and probably use your insides to make cupcakes.
"To have my friends. The black cupid said that I could have my way with you, so I thought I should kill you right now for taking everything away from me," Alex explained.
Sonic shook his head, "Wasn't killing him enough?"
"No, he was just someone that postponed your death and shortened his greatly."
"He had nothing to do with this! It was just a tennis match between you and me!"
"Everything was at sake in that match," Alex spat, "I could have risen to fame by defeating you once and for all and get revenge on the company that fired me for your sorry sake."
Sonic was confused, "What do you mean?"
"When they saw your sorry self wondering the earth with your supernatural speed, they instantly took a liking to you for your fake personality. You helped them achieve their dreams when I couldn't. What did they do to me after they took you in? Simple, they fired me saying that it's useless to make it back to the top. How dare they?"
Sonic turned his head away from the killer. He indirectly caused some pain in this man, "I'm sorry."
"It's too late to apologize," Alex said with an evil laugh.
"But-"
"If 'sorry' was good enough, there would be no need for hell!"
"But you ruined HIS life by killing him! He didn't deserve it!"
"Anyone who sides with you will die. Once I kill you, I'm going after that little monkey and then that reporter!"
"You stay away from Ai-Ai and Ulala! They did nothing to you!"
"Except call the police and force me to hide in the shadows until the day I would be captured. I guess you could say I was thankful to the black cupid for allowing me to hide out in this abandoned laboratory."
"Lived is here?"
"Did he not capture you?"
Sonic couldn't remember what happened after he was hit by the dark beam. He prayed that Fox and Hoshi-Tsuki were okay.
"Enough with the chitchat! Time to spill the blood that I wanted to see the first time I met you and stole my life away!"
Sonic watched in fear as Alex raised his axe. The hedgehog closed his eyes waiting for his head to be chopped off. The axe came down on him, but it only hit his right shoulder. He screamed in pain as the axe was pulled out of it. The blue hedgehog opened one eye to see why his head wasn't chopped off. He then saw the black angel behind Alex gripping on the arm that held the axe.
"Who said you could kill my test subject?" Li asked in a dark tone.
Alex glared at the Pit look alike, "You said I could have my way with him, so why can't I kill him? You broke our promise!"
"I told you we need him alive. The boss has to confirm something about him before violent actions can occur," Li explained.
"You bastard."
"That's Mcenche's title. I'm known as The Devil. So lay off the violent act for a while, huh?"
Alex brought his axe down and glared at the dark angel, "I will kill him. Just you wait."
"Do it when we're not finished and I'll send you to hell," Li promised.
Alex said nothing as he walked back into the darkness.
Sonic sighed with relief despite his shoulder being in pain. He was just saved from the blink of death from the person who wanted to capture all the Smashers.
"Before you say thank you," Li began, "I'm just going to say this. I did not stop him for your sorry ass. My boss has to confirm something about you before any violent actions can happen."
Sonic couldn't glare at the devil. He didn't have the strength to, "What do I have that he wants?"
"Beside the Chaos Emeralds," Li stated as he held a brown bag with six of the seven emeralds. He used his other hand to point his double edge sword at his heart, "It has something to do with your heart."
Sonic was confused, "My heart?"
"He's too confusing? He kept saying, "The heart is the purest part of the body" and "A pure heart could ruin my plans" or something among those lines. I don't know what the hell he's talking about, so I'll let him confirm his superstition with the experiments."
Sonic hated that word. When it came to being different, Sonic was the one that usually stood out. People always wanted to exam him so they could figure out why he was blue, why he could talk, and he could run so fast that he broke the speed barrier.
"So be a good boy and cooperate. Otherwise, I wouldn't mine being the one to violate you again."
Sonic trembled. He didn't want to be raped again.
Suddenly, Midna appeared from the shadows and gave Li a worried look.
"Two Smashers are here to speak with you."
Li frowned, "Tell them to come in. I'll give them a surprise for helping me make Pit snap."
So he had something to do with Pit letting everything out… Sonic thought to himself.
Midna nodded as she disappeared. She came back with two familiar Smashers with her. Both were giving a mean stare at the devil. Li found this amusing. Sonic was stunned.
"You two…"
"We did what you wanted, so give us the money you said you would give us!" shouted the Smasher.
"Pichu!"
Li laughed bitterly, "And how much was that?"
"Enough to make a living."
Li continued to laugh, "You pig? Would I really give you and that yellow rat money that I don't even have?"
The Smasher was pissed off now. The Pichu by his side got into battle position.
"You deceived us?"
"It was easy. Wario, we all know that money is the most important thing to you than someone else's safety. That's why I asked YOU to act like you didn't know me."
Wario clenched his fist in anger and gritted his teeth, "If that's how it is, then I'll to everyone in the mansion who you are and the horrible things you did to him. You are-"
Wario didn't get to say who Li was possessing because he fired a dark beam at both of them engulfing them completely. When the dark beam was gone, they were nothing but trophies.
"A fitting end to two traitors" Li said with a laugh as he picked up the two trophies, "Eight down, two more to go."
"Why are you doing this to us?" Sonic questioned in anger, "What have we done to you to go back to that horrible state?"
"It's not what you did, it's what he did to me," Li mumbled.
"By he…you mean Pit…right?"
Li said nothing.
"Pit wouldn't do anything to hurt someone he cared for so dear."
"Is that why he hurt you today?" Li questioned in an angry tone, "If he truly cared for you, would he have attempted to rescue you when I captured you? Would he not have said those harsh words?"
Sonic was the one to be speechless now. It was true, Pit hurt him to the point where he felt like dying. Yet…he still wished for Pit rescue him.
"Face it. Pit isn't going to save you. Nor is anyone else."
"Pit will!"
"He won't. You admitted that you weren't suppose to even be in Brawl. If you ask me, it seems like you invaded their territory and ruined their lives. It would have been better if you were in that forest where you could get eaten at any time."
"SHUT UP!" Sonic screamed.
Li grinned. He was getting to him. The dark angel walked over to the hedgehog (after placing the Chaos Emeralds and trophies on the ground) and touched Sonic's wound. Sonic winced from the touch.
"So fragile yet they throw you away when you have great potential."
Sonic glared at the devil, "What…do you mean?"
"I don't know. You have to ask the boss. But let me ask you this. Why do you still believe in Pit? He's not coming. I should know from the years I've been with him."
Li knew that Pit would come to save Sonic out of regret but he also knew that using his past would make Sonic question the angel.
Sonic hid his eyes behind his spike. He didn't want to believe Li but when it came about the past, Li was an expert on Pit.
"No…I'm sure he'll come. I just know it…"
Li shook his head. He had no choice but to use that power that he hated.
"I guess I have no choice…"
Li used his free hand to lift Sonic's chin and force to look into his eyes. He murmured a spell in his head and all went black for Sonic for a few seconds.
Sonic didn't know what happened. One minute he was force to stare at Li and the next, he was back in that black void. He realized that his hands were chained anymore. He looked around and saw nothing but black. He didn't like it.
The blue hedgehog noticed a white pair of wings in the darkness. He ran over to them.
"Pit you're here! I knew you would come!"
When the angel turned around though, he wasn't smiling. He giving Sonic a smug look. Sonic was confused.
"Pit?"
"Why would I come and save you?" he asked in an emotionless tone.
"Eh?"
"My life has been ruined ever since you came into my life! I can't even cause chaos with Satoshi or speak with Ike without you clinging to me everywhere I go! It's annoying!"
"Pit, I-"
"Why can't you protect yourself for a change instead of relying on others? What are you going to do if we weren't around?"
"But you're here now, so…"
"And who said I would rescue you from this fate? You don't deserve to be in Brawl. I was so excited thinking that someone like Lloyd would come. I trained for the day to fight him in one on one match trying to determine who was the better swordsmen. Well, that dream is gone when he you came!"
Sonic was stunned. Was this what Pit was feeling from the very beginning? No! If that was so, then why did Pit take the time to befriend him?
"You're a disgraceful fighter! Mario doesn't have a challenge when he's fighting against you. You're a horrible partner and you suck in general. I kept asking Master Hand why he kept you instead of kicking you out? He said you had potential! Potential for what? Being the downfall of us Smashers? Give me a break! I don't know why I'm speaking to you now!"
The hedgehog felt like crying. Pit was getting him where it hurts the most.
"Pit, I'm sorry."
"I'll only forgive you," Pit began, "If you rot in this hellhole to the end of time!"
"Pit no!"
Sonic grabbed the angel by his waist trying to embrace him. The angel just shoved him off. He fell to the ground.
"Get away from me you filthy animal! I want nothing to do with you!"
Sonic shook his head in disbelief, "No Pit…I-"
"Just die."
Pit turned his back on him as he faded away into the light. Sonic tried to get up and chase after him only to realize that he wasn't going anywhere.
"Pit, don't leave me!" he cried out, "You were…one of my first friends at Smash Brothers Mansion… please…don't leave me…"
The angel turned his head to the hedgehog and grinned evilly as he continued toward the light. The light disappeared engulfing him. Sonic was left in the dark again. Alone. He was on his knees crying like he never cried before.
"Don't…leave me…Pit…"
"How pathetic," said a voice, "An angel abandoning his friend in need? Not so angelic I see."
Sonic didn't even bother turning around to see who was pitying him. He should have because it seemed like the person was a man, but he was surrounded by purple smoke so you couldn't see his body completely.
"My poor boy. That angel can't be your friend if he left you alone like that."
Sonic turned his head slightly, "Who are you…?"
"My name is of no concern. I am just a man that will lead you out of the darkness if an angel that you considered a friend wouldn't."
Sonic shook his head trying to wipe the tears from his eyes. They kept on coming.
"I'll only help you on one condition though," the man said.
"What is the condition?" Sonic asked. He had lost all hope already.
"You are different from the others who you fight along side with. I need to confirm something about your body."
Sonic really didn't have a choice. He just nodded his head slowly. The man grinned.
"Good job my beautiful angel."
Sonic felt the purple smoke wrap around him as he was brought closer to the man. He felt the man embrace him. He glanced at the man's eyes. He couldn't look away. They kept pulling him in.
"Forget everything my angel, and you will feel no pain," the man said in a calming yet seductive voice, "If you do that, you will belong to me eventually."
Sonic felt like he lost control his body and emotions the more the man spoke. He just submitted to the darkness.
Li was disappointed with himself for using that move. The move basically turned the person that the victim loved the most against him and then his boss appearing and acting as the one who really cares. Once the boss got the victim where he wanted him, there would be no escape.
The devil knew that after he used that move against Sonic, the blue hedgehog would completely lose all hope for Pit coming to save him. He released him from his grip. The hedgehog's head drooped down. His eyes were a pale green. They had no emotion at all.
"Was this really okay?" Midna asked him snapping the devil out of his thoughts.
"The boss wanted it, so…"
"You looked like you didn't want to go through with it."
"It's just…that move…is so painful…I should know…"
Li walked over to the computer and started tapping some buttons on the huge keyboard, "The experiment will be starting now…"
Li pressed the red button on the keyboard. A capsule appeared behind Sonic. Li quickly threw his double edged sword at the chain cutting it down and allowing the capsule to place the hedgehog in it. The capsule closed instantly and started to fill up with water.
"You plan on drowning him?" Midna questioned.
"If what the boss says is true, then he won't drown," Li explained.
"And if he's wrong?"
"The boss is never wrong? If he is, then the hedgehog as good as dead."
Midna groaned as she trotted over to the computer glancing at the screens. Li watched as the capsule disappeared in into the darkness into another room. It showed on the computer screen where the room was. What happened in that room was that these wired came out of nowhere and attached itself to the capsule which was place in the middle. More wires surrounded the capsule like how vines would. A screen appeared on the top right of the computer came up and started tested for something in Sonic's body. Midna didn't know what it was, but Li did.
"It's only a matter of time now…"
It was taking longer to find the laboratory because Saki was having a hard time with his Air Ride Machine. It kept landing on the rooftops of Tokyo. He needed enough speed to continue. Flying next to Ash was really annoying because the Air Ride Machine that he was flying was faster than the Shadow Star in the air than on the ground.
"How many more minutes until we get there?" Ike asked.
Ash pressed a few buttons on the watch like thing and it showed a map of their current location, "It seems it would take thirty more minutes."
Ike groaned, "We've been riding for an hour now…"
"We still got five hours left to save Sonic," Knuckles told him.
"I know but-"
"Ah, daddy Ike is worried about his son!" Ash joked.
Ike rammed his Air Ride Machine into Ash which resulted in the Pokémon Trainer almost falling off of his. Saki flew above them before Ash's machine hit his.
"Wahhh! I'm going to fall!" Ash cried out.
Ike glared at the raven haired trainer, "Serves you right."
With that said, the mercenary flew ahead of the group. Pit slowed down in order to help the Pokémon Trainer back up.
"T-Thanks Pit…" he mumbled.
Pit shook his head, "It was nothing. Sonic comes first before we continue…"
Ash frowned. He didn't want to continue arguing with Pit anymore. It wasn't worth it and he didn't want to lose Pit's friendship.
"Pit…I…"
"What?"
"…Never mind…let's just focus on saving Sonic."
With that said, Pit flew next to Ike who slowed down for Pit's sake. The blue haired swordsmen checked the angel's face. His eyes told him that he regretted saying those horrible things to Sonic.
"Pit, we'll save Sonic," Ike reassured him.
Pit glanced at the blue haired swordsmen and nodded his head slowly, "I hope so."
"We will. Trust me on this."
Ike said those words with so much confidence that the angel knew he was telling the truth. Pit couldn't help but blush.
"I will."
Ash started to snicker. He was about to make another family joke when Fox rammed into him. Ash almost fell off his Air Ride Machine again.
"What the hell?"
"Don't start…" Fox mumbled.
Ash sighed, "Okay. I'll stop the jokes."
The five Smashers and Knuckles continue to soar through the air. Knuckles prayed that those that he contacted from his world would come and help them save Sonic soon. Chances are that they will knowing their leader's obsession with Sonic.
Li bowed to the darkness that was surrounding him. His boss summoned him for a little chat. The dark angel would have refused if it wasn't so urgent. He made his way through the dark hallways of the abandoned laboratory and entered a dark room. It required a password to enter it, but for Li only, it would open to him without any problems.
"What is it now?" Li asked in an aggravated tone.
There was no response. Li didn't like the silence in the room. It gave him the creeps knowing that his boss could kill him ay any moment in the darkness of this room.
The boss finally spoke, "You shouldn't speak so lowly of the one that gave you another chance of life."
Li turned his head away from the voice, "S-Sorry…Master…"
"That's better," the voice said in an evil tone. It was almost mocking him.
"Why did you call me?" Li asked.
"You should already know why," the voice began, "I have come to ask you of the hedgehog's condition."
"…It hasn't been that long…but judging from the record that the computer shows…your hypothesis seems to be correct…" Li answered.
The voice laughed bitterly to himself causing Li to shiver.
"I thought so. You know what this means Lived?"
"…No…"
"You must make sure he never gets in contact with those you considered your family. If he manages to speak to even one of them, even that Goddess of Light, the probability of Valefor coming back to life after all of these years will increase from the twenty percent to sixty-five percent."
"But I don't see how that hedgehog is related to the High Summoner Yuna!"
"The computer says it all."
"…It's unbelievable…"
Suddenly, there was a alarm that went off in the laboratory. Midna appeared from underneath the shadows to tell Li that the Smashers were coming. Li frowned.
"That was fast."
"Well, what do you expect? Sonic has many friends."
"Doubt it."
"What do you want me to do?" Midna questioned.
"Set up all the traps that we have in the laboratory," Li ordered, "Have those pathetic animals that I brought back to life fight them. Let the zombies and demons loose. Make sure Alex Kidd doesn't kill Sonic but instead, kill the other Smashers except Pit. We need him alive."
"Understood."
"And don't allow ANYONE in that room. We are not done with examining that hedgehog's DNA yet. It will take five more hours to get all the data we need."
Midna scoffed, "That won't be a problem. As long as I'm here, you'll get your job done."
"Just hurry up," Li said quickly.
"All right! I'll go."
Midna was about to disappear back into the shadows when she said, "I'm only doing this because we're friends. Remember that."
When the Princess of Twilight disappeared in the shadows, she left the dark angel confused with that one word.
"Friend?" he asked himself.
The voice laughed hysterically.
"Friend? You have friends? Ridiculous! Only the weak need people like that!"
Li smiled sadly. He hadn't heard that word in a while. As long as he had a job to do, he could never consider Midna as a friend no matter how much time they spent together in the past and present.
"Yes Master…only the weak need friends…" Li mumbled.
The laughing echoed throughout the dark room.
Peach let out another huge sigh. Her reason for being upset at the moment was not because Pit didn't choose her to come along for the rescue mission, but because of Snake. He was rather demure because he couldn't come along. He wanted to blow something up so badly. Peach knew that he wanted to impress Samus if they completed the mission. Not like Samus was interested in him. In the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom's POV, Samus seemed to like Captain Falcon more than the mercenary, but that only her opinion.
"It won't do you any good to be so sad Mr. Snake…" Lucas told him again and again.
Snake just waved his hand in front of him, which made Peach even more upset. Lucas was going to be dragged into the dumps at this rate. So, Peach decided to try and lighten the mood.
"Hey, let's go look for the other Smashers that are on your list," Peach suggested, "I'm sure they're all safe, but we can't be to careful."
This instantly cheered Lucas up.
"Okay, princess!" he cheered.
Peach smiled. One down. One to go.
Snake didn't respond the way Peach wanted him to though. He just said, "I wanted to go blow someone's head off in that mission."
"What mission?" An innocent voice asked.
"A mission to save Sonic from that Pit look alike," Snake answered without even looking to see who asked the question, "Why do I have to repeat myself?"
"Uh…Snake…" Peach began, "Lucas and I know that…but…you just told someone that shouldn't have known…"
Lucas waved at the assist trophy that Peach was referring to. Snake glanced down and noticed a happy go lucky star by his side grinning like he saw a big ice cream cone.
"Yay! Something to tell everyone!" Stafy cheered.
The three Smashers sweat dropped. That was not good.
The cute little star sped off in one direction announcing that Sonic was kidnapped causing great panic amongst the Smashers. Peach and Lucas instantly ran after the star to get him to stop. Snake decided to continue moping even when Jill, Shadow, and Lyn passed him shouting at Stafy to get back here to either help, protect, or kill the star.
Snake finally got up and proceeded back to his room, but was stopped when he noticed a certain elf walking toward him. He looked completely drained and looked more out of it than he did.
"Fancy meeting you here Link," Snake began.
The Hero of Time ignored him as he continued walking toward his room, which wasn't far from where he was now. Snake found his behavior rather odd and proceeded to continue the conversation.
"Who were you fighting to make you this tired?" Snake questioned.
Link continued to ignore him. He was almost to his room when Snake grabbed at his shoulder and turned him around.
"Hey, I'm talking to you," Snake said in an annoyed voice.
He was stunned to see a tearful eyed elf. Despite the fact that he was crying, his eyes were pale blue.
"What happened to you Link?" he asked.
The Hero of Time pushed the mercenary off and ran all the way to his room and locked it. Snake was stunned. Link would never act like this. Something was definitely wrong. Well…a lot of things were going on in the mansion that making a lot of the Smashers suffer. There was nothing he could do at the moment if Link wouldn't even respond to his voice.
At long last, the five Smashers and Knuckles made it out of the city and toward the abandoned laboratory. It was huge in Ash's POV, but Saki stated that he seen bigger.
"We're finally here," Saki began.
"The rescue mission will finally begin…" Knuckled mumbled. Where are they? They're suppose to be here by now.
"Hey Fox," Ash began, "I hope you didn't lose your fighting techniques while you were the size of Pikmin," Ash joked.
Hoshi-Tsuki squeaked in a way that Fox didn't like.
"Gee thanks. I hope you don't break your wrist."
"I won't. I can finally prove how powerful I am."
"We're counting on you."
Ike turned toward Pit. The angel was already tired just flying to the laboratory. He knew that the angel should have ridden with him.
"I'll keep my promise to you Pit, so just relax," Ike told him.
Pit shook his head, "I'm fine Ike. I'm not tired. Beside, Sonic comes before me."
While Pit was trying to be serious at the moment, Ike considered it as a joke and scoffed. His cheeks were slightly pink when he turned away from the angel.
Pit looked at the laboratory that was coming into view. Security was probably very tight, so he wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't get in. He was determined to get Sonic back no matter how many enemies he had to face or obstacles that he had to overcome.
Fox's scanner began to react. It was because bird demons were flying toward them. Everyone got their weapons ready for the rescue mission. Pit got his arrow out and aimed at the bird demons.
I will save you Sonic. Pit told himself.
With that said, he fired his arrow.
Somewhere on the South Pole…
Things weren't going well with the royal bodyguards. For one thing, they weren't in Japan where Pit and the other Smashers were staying. No, they ended up fifty plus kilometers away from the island of Japan. They ended up on the continent Antarctica where the penguins lived.
The first thing that Isaak had to scream was, "WHAT ZE FUCK MCENCHE?"
Mcenche just looked at the blonde like he was an idiot, "Nani?"
"WHY DID YOU CHANGE OUR LOCATION?"
The ice angel has no idea what he was talking about, "IDK."
"I DON'T KNOW MY ASS!"
"Please…arguing won't solve anything…" Himeno mumbled as she sneezed.
Antarctica was a very cold place. Even if it was the summer and even if global warming was making this planet warmer, it was still cold where the penguins lived. Mcenche was completely fine in this freezing climate and so was Pepper because she was the fire angel. Aqua was okay too as long as she was in the water. The other royal bodyguards weren't so lucky. Himeno's wings were already frozen from the cold. She would likely be the one to freeze to death first.
"It's not my fault that I read the destination wrong…" Mcenche finally admitted.
"So you did change it!"
"Hey! I'm not going back to a populated city to be used as a manikin or to get molested!"
"Why would you get molested? You're not ze handsome one?" Isaak said as he flashed his pearly whites at the crystal angel to prove his point.
"You got too many witnesses. Beside that, you're not a virgin," Mcenche told him flatly.
Isaak was shocked by this, "I…am a virgin."
"Really? I had no idea!" Sun-Wong shouted.
"You shut up! You can't even get laid with princesse Himeno!"
Both Sun-Wong and Himeno blushed and turned away from each other. Roger couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey guys, let's play with the penguins!" Pepper shouted as she tossed a baby penguin in the air.
"What type of penguin is that?" Sun-Wong questioned flustered.
Himeno slowly walked over to Sun-Wong who warmed up next to him as she responded, "I think that's a Macaroni Penguin."
"No, it's a Jackass Penguin!" Pepper stated, "It looks like donkey and its beak looks like a asshole."
Himeno shook her head as she sneezed three times, "Iie, I'm positive it's a Macaroni Penguin by the feathers on its head."
"She's right," Mcenche said as he skated over to the fire angel and snatched the penguin from her, "It's definitely a Macaroni Penguin from it's puppy dog eyes."
Pepper sweatdropped, "Okay…penguin freak."
"At least I'm not a yaoi fanatic…" Mcenche murmured under his breathe.
"Did you say something?"
"N-Nothing…she's scary..." Mcenche whispered to the penguin. The penguin seem to understand him and nodded it's head, "She scared you too? I'm sorry."
Pepper was ready to punch the ice angel when Aqua threw a snowball at the back of her head.
"Who the fuck did that?" she questioned in rage. Her temper was already flaring.
Aqua held a few snowballs in her hand and smiled faintly. Pepper gave one look at the water angel. Her eyes widened in horror as these dolphins came out of nowhere and used their tails to knock the snowballs out of Aqua's hand and at the fire angel. Pepper had to use her fire magic to not get hit.
"Oh I see how it is Aqua! Using your favorite animal to attack me! SNOWBALL FIGHT!"
At first the snowball fight was between Pepper and Aqua, but eventually after the two adult angels warmed up, Sun-Wong and Himeno joined them. They got Mcenche involved as soon as the four of them teamed up to throw a storm of snowballs at him and the penguin. Mcenche could no longer act brusque toward them.
"Don't challenge me in the snow," Mcenche said in a threatening tone, "You'll lose."
Mcenche started skating in the snow and used his ice magic to attack everyone.
"No fair Mcenche!" Pepper shouted, "Your element is ice! Make your own snowballs!"
"No way! You guys are teaming up against me!"
Roger sighed as the five angels continued to play, "So much for Mcenche and Aqua in being the anti-social angels."
The black angel noticed that Isaak wasn't among them. He turned to see Isaak walking away and sitting himself near the ice as he watched it float past him. Roger decided to see what was up with the blonde, so he flew over to Isaak. Why he flew instead of walk was because he didn't want his wings to be incased in ice.
Once he got there, he asked the blonde what was wrong. Isaak let out a huge sigh as he used his hand to scoop up some snow.
"I wish I could show Li-Li this…" he told him, "Li-Li would love to see the white continent."
"That heartless bastard? Give me a break!" Roger derided.
Isaak ignored him. He hated when Roger spoke of Li as someone lower than him. Li really was a nice person at heart. He was just…confused inside.
"It would have been nice if we brought Armpit along as well," Isaak added ignoring Roger's statement, "Zen we would have been the eight royal bodyguards again."
Roger glared at the blonde. The original eight? Why am I not included?
Isaak scooped up some more snow. He made it into a snowball and then began carving something in the snowball.
"What are you doing?" Roger questioned. He was very bitter at the moment, so he couldn't help but snapping.
"I'm carving a wish into this snowball," Isaak explained, "I heard from Mcenche that if you carved names into a snowball or a snow angel, zen make a wish, it will come true somehow."
"You know he was lying, right?" Roger asked.
"Mcenche wouldn't lie when it comes to ze snow. Beside, the snow here might melt due to global warming, so ze wish might not come true. I'm trying anyway."
Roger watched as Isaak carved eight names into the snowball. They were in the following order: Pit, Sun-Wong, Mcenche, Himeno, Lived, Isaak, Aqua, and Pepper. His name was not presented.
"It looks like I ran out of room…" Isaak laughed nervously, "Sorry Roger! I didn't mean to leave you out. You were going to be on the bottom of Pepper."
"What's the wish?"
"I wish for all of us to be reunited someday and live in peace and happiness like the family we were before the war zat took Li-Li away from us…and changed Pit's innocent personality."
"The dead cannot come back," Roger told him simply.
Isaak smiled sadly, "I know. Pit and I learned zat the hard way…"
Roger scoffed, "If you're going to continue moping, I'm going to go dominate those losers over there."
The black angel walked off leaving the yellow angel alone. Isaak frowned when he looked at Li's name.
"I really do miss you Li-Li…" he mumbled to himself. Nobody heard what he said, because if they did, they would have felt sorry for him.
Me: TBC with 11662 words.
Yohko: Now you make a long ass chapter.
Me: Yep. I think I like this chapter the most so far. I got new questions, but first, notes!
1. This is the power of the black feather that was next to the black rose. It turned Fox back to his regular size. Since it can only be used three times, Fox has to find the one he loves before he uses it a third time. It's pretty obvious who the one he loves is.
2. The War Wing is a ring you can equip in the Golden Sun game. It boosts attack power. Something that will help Saki later.
3. Jet Star is an Air Ride Machine from Kirby Air Ride. It's one of the fastest machines in the air. Once your in the air, it picks up speed drastically until the charge menu is full. You can then stay in the air for 11 seconds. The machine is faster than the Wing Star but harder to control on the ground.
4. Wing Star is an Air Ride Machine from Kirby Air Ride. It is one of the best machines in the air but not the fastest. Instead, you can stay in the air longer than the Jet Star although it is harder to speed up. It is also slow on the ground, but easier to maneuver.
5. Shadow Star is an Air Ride Machine from Kirby Air Ride. It is the most riskiest machines. Not only does it not have a lot of health to keep you on it, but it is very hard to steer. It's attack power is simply amazing though.
6. Flight Warp Star is an Air Ride Machine from Kirby Air Ride. It can only be used in City Trial. It is basically a warp star that can fly in the air for 23 seconds at most compared to the normal Warp Star.
7. Ai-Ai is the monkey from Super Monkey. In other words, Ai-Ai is a SEGA character. If Ai-Ai is mentioned at this point though, then you all know that Ai-Ai isn't Hoshi-Tsuki. Ai-Ai is an adorable monkey though that appeared in Sonic Riders and Superstar Tennis as a power character.
Well…how we get back to Heaven? We get back somehow after the snowball fight. Here are the questions.
Please review. I got Brawl rants today.
Yohko: Oh boy. If you don't want to hear Momo talk, stop now and review. Otherwise, continue.
Me: So Mcenche stood me up for almost two weeks until yesterday, he FINALLY came over and proved who better at Brawl…and I beat him…AT ALL TEN GAMES WE PLAYED. I rock! Here are the rounds. Some will be posted on Youtube eventually after I figure out how to convert my videos to a setting that Youtube will take.
1. Zelda (me) vs. Samus (Mcenche) on Final Destination
2. Pikachu (me) vs. Olimar (Mcenche) on Final Destination
3. Sonic (me) vs. Meta Knight (Mcenche) on Final Destination
4. Li (me) vs. Ganondorf (Mcenche) on Final Destination
5. Li (me) vs. Ganondorf (Mcenche) on Battlefield
6. Kirby (me) vs. Captain Falcon (Mcenche) on Mcenche's Stage (My ice stage dedicated to him)
7. Mr. Game and Watch (me) vs. Sonic (Mcenche) on Saber's Stage (an angel that hasn't been introduced)
8. Lucas (me) vs. Ness (Mcenche) on Himeno's Stage (My air stage dedicated to Himeno)
9. Peach (me) vs. Ness(Mcenche) on Green Greens
10. Li (me) vs. Meta Knight (Mcenche) on Final Destination
Out of all of these battles though…I almost died when I was Sonic, Game and Watch, and Peach because with Sonic, I underestimated Meta Knight. With Mr. Game and Watch…the stage was designed for Sonic to fight on. With Peach…it was because of the bombs on the stage. I screwed up with Lucas once because I couldn't control PK Thunder. (Jessie couldn't either.) My stepsister came eventually and just invited herself to play despite me telling her that she couldn't play because she didn't do her share of work. I got her back by kicking her ass along with Mcenche on every stage. They started ganging up on me, but I beat the crap out of them with Pit, Kirby, and Zelda. (We only played three games before we switched to Tales of Symphonia.)
When we switched to ToS, it was crazy! I was playing as Lloyd, Mcenche was playing Genis, my stepsister was Sheena, and the computer was Zelos and we went up against that Rodyle boss. I almost died protecting everyone. Mcenche wasn't helping because he kept pressing A when I was trying to use the healing items since Zelos was taking too long to cast Healing Stream on everyone. During the whole battle though, both were commenting on how Zelos looked like a women more than a man. I officially declared Zelos uke yesterday. LOL We beat the crap out of the boss thanks to Sheena summoning Gnome and my awesome combos. Then there was that long scene and there wasn't much time to fight after that since it was all talking.
Yeah…I realize that I love Tales of Symphonia as much as Brawl now. Joy! Anyway, that ends both video game rants. I got a new chapter to work on and summer school and tennis isn't going to make updates any faster. Ja ne!
...I realized that I couldn't delete the rant about Brawl despite the fact that Mcenche and I aren't friends anymore. These were the fun times...-sigh- Why did Mcenche go run off with some whore? It's not fair...
But back to the chapter, beside changing some words and grammar, nothing major was changed again. I mean, these are the chapters where I did more editing than the first fifteen chapters.
Oh yeah, so this chapter has Saki/Isaac but basically this pairing is reversible, which I forgot to mention so while Saki acts dominate now, he becomes...rather submissive toward Isaac later...at least that's what I planned after chapter 38.
