Author's Note: This was definitely a filler chapter and the scenes switch around A LOT. It's a fun little thing I had decided to do, but I hope you guys don't get confused too much. It's not easy trying to introduce many Smashers who are separated. -_-; I hope you guys enjoy the story!
FYI: I do make a reference to the setting to an awesome Yoshi fanfic…yeah I've been REALLY getting into Yoshi lately. 0_o I gotta go back to reading Kirby fanfics again. xD
~Chapter 2: Stranded~
Jigglypuff was standing on the balcony, gazing at the bright stars shining above Dreamland. Meta Knight walked to her side and put his hand on her shoulder. Jigglypuff smiled and continued looking up.
"You must really enjoy looking at the stars, Jigglypuff."
"The stars are much more beautiful than the ones on my planet. I love to look at them."
Meta Knight chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing…I was thinking, do you want to go outside and look at the stars on the grass? I do not like being in the castle, especially with King Dedede around."
"I would love to!"
Meta Knight turned around. His cape brushed Jigglypuff's cheeks. Jigglypuff followed him out of the castle and into the grassy field surrounding the castle. They sat down on the soft grass. The crescent moon above the sky made the dark ocean sparkle. The wind blew gently across the land, causing the flowers hidden in the darkness to stir. Jigglypuff leaned on Meta Knight and looked up at the stars.
"I can look up at the stars forever..." said Jigglypuff.
"The stars are magnificent."
Meta Knight smiled under his mask, enjoying his time with the one he loves. Jigglypuff slid her fingers up to Meta Knight's mask. His mask felt cold from the warmth of her fingers. She and Meta Knight looked at each other. Meta Knight lightly caressed her cheeks.
Jigglypuff slightly blushed. She looked at Meta Knight's golden eyes. She smiled at him.
"Hey, do you mind if we use your telescope?" asked Sword all of a sudden.
Jigglypuff quickly pushed Meta Knight away from her. Meta Knight blinked. "Yes you can use my telescope."
Blade carried the telescope and placed it in front of the two lovers. Jigglypuff sighed.
"Hey Jigglypuff?"
"Yes Blade?"
"I can show you where your planet is from the telescope. Do you wanna see?"
"Sure!" Jigglypuff jumped up and stood by Blade who was looking into the telescope for her planet. Meta Knight stood up and wrapped himself in his cape and gazed at the stars.
"This sure is an amazing night to look at the stars..." said Sword.
Meta Knight nodded his head in agreement. "It is."
Blade took a step back from the telescope. "Just look into the telescope and you'll see your home planet!"
Jigglypuff walked up to the telescope and looked through the small glass hole. She saw a tiny blue planet. "That's my planet?" she asked.
"Yes it is."
"Meta Knight? When can we go visit my planet? I want to see my friends and family."
"We will see your family and friends I promise." said Meta Knight.
"Thanks Meta Knight! But what about King Dedede? What is he gonna do without you guys?"
"Screw that fat ass penguin!" blurted Sword. Jigglypuff giggled.
"Besides, he does pretty fine on his own. He does have the Waddle Dees to help around and guard his castle." added Blade.
"I will ask King Dedede tonight." said Meta Knight.
"Thank you so much Meta Knight!" she jumped up and wrapped her around Meta Knight's cape. "Mmm…you're cape is warm..." she said to him and giggled.
Meta Knight chuckled.

"Well, it was great seeing all of your friends and family, but I think it's time for Toony and I to leave." said Link .
The two Hylian stood by the entrance/exit to the village with a group of Yoshis surrounding them, including the one and only Yoshi.
"I'm gonna miss you!" said the pink Yoshi in an annoying high pitched voice. She waved her hands and gazed dreamily at the adult swordsmen.
"Can we go now before I get tackled to death by that freak?" whispered Link to Yoshi.
"I'll be back guys!" Yoshi led Toony and Link into the jungle.
After about an hour of walking through the jungle, they finally emerged onto the sandy shore where the swordsmen first took their step onto the land. Toony ran ahead, but the King of Red Lions was missing.
"Where is my sailboat!?" shouted Toony.
"What!? How are we gonna get out of this island!?" Link grabbed Toony's collar and shouted on his face. "We're stranded on an abandoned island!!"
"You do realize I live here." said Yoshi.
"Oh yeah, but we're still stranded."
"I left the stone at my boat, so I can't even call him back..." said Toony.
"Wow Toony, your breath stinks. You want some of my breath mints?" Link randomly took out a pack of breath mints from his pocket.
"Oh thanks." He took a breath mint and put it on his mouth.
"Anyways, I guess we're stuck here until someone comes here to rescue us. That means we're gonna have to learn to live the way of the Yoshis!"
"Oh you gotta be kidding me..." mumbled Yoshi to himself.
"What about that pink Yoshi?" asked Toony.
"Damnit you're right! How am I gonna survive this island!?" desperately cried out Link.
"Well the 'annoying' pink Yoshi is gonna be asleep by sunset. Why don't we go exploring around the island to kill some time?" asked Yoshi.
"An exploration!? That's sounds awesome!" exclaimed Toony cheerfully.
"Now let's go!" Yoshi leads the two Hylian into the jungle to being their exploration of Yoshi's Island.

"We have visited, Ness, Pikachu, Samus, Mr. Game & Watch, Capt. Falcon, and just recently Meta Knight and his pals..." said Fox reading over a list of Smashers behind Falco.
Falco was piloting the Great Fox and looked at the screen below him. "Well based on the coordinates, we're closest to…damnit."
"What's wrong Falco?"
"We're close to Link's planet."
"Falco, why do you hate Link so much? What has that guy ever done to you? Link is always trying to be nice to you, but you push him off! He may be a goofball, but he has great courage and cares for those around him!"
"I just don't like him."
Fox frowned. "Well we're going to visit Mario and his pals anyways first. I know there is a reason for your dislike."
"Yeah, whatever."
Fox sighed. He walked around the control room, looking at the photos that hung on the walls. Many of the photos were pictures of past Smash Bros. tournament. One of them included Fox holding a trophy for being second place in the first main event tournament. Mario was next to him holding the first place trophy. Fox smiled upon the nostalgia. He continued to walk around and saw Falco with a smaller trophy, for being in the semi-finals during the second tournament.
The main event tournament was usually held at the last week before the Smashers had to return home. It was considered the main event and the most important tournament.
Fox saw another picture of Link holding the first place trophy of the second smash tournament. He was standing next to Link and Falco. Fox closely examined the picture and noted the expression on Falco's face. Falco was not smiling at all, even with the trophy in hand.
"Oh! That's right! You're still mad at Link for kicking your ass during the second tournament?" asked Fox.
"Shut up. He's also very annoying."
Fox gave off a smirk. "If you say so."
"Hey! I'm receiving a transmission!" shouted Falco.
Fox ran over to Falco's side. "From? Whose it coming from!?"
"This is Samus Aran speaking." said the voice from the transmitter.
"Hey Samus!" greeted Falco.
"What are you doing around here?" asked Fox.
"Oh, handling some of those crazy space pirates like you guys. I was thinking about visiting some of our friends," said Samus.
"Well, we were also planning to visit Mario and his pals since his planet is not too far away."
"Maybe I could follow you?"
"Go ahead."
Falco set the coordinates and steered the Great Fox toward the planet in which Mario and his pal resides. Samus followed behind.

Link and Toony followed Yoshi along the sandy shoreline for hours, but the sun continued to remain high in the sky. The sun's heat caused Link and Toony to sweat under their tunic and hat. Their feet ached from the long trek. The swordsmen were tired overall, except for Yoshi who was perfectly normal.
"How the hell are you NOT tired?" complained Link.
"I've done a lot of trek." replied Yoshi.
Yoshi led the swordsmen onto a wooden dock. They stopped at the very end. Yoshi looked at the water and spotted a dark opening.
"This is it guys. That opening you see there leads to the forbidden ruins." pointed out Yoshi.
Toony broke a sweat. "F-Forbidden?"
"Yeah. We're not allowed into the ruins, but I've always wanted to go there! Besides I have you guys who ventured into many ruins and dungeons!"
"Are you scared Toony? Are you gonna wet your pants?" taunted Link.
"I DON'T WET MY PANTS!" roared Toony.
"You know I heard that someone actually died in those ruins!" exclaimed Yoshi enthusiastically. The swordsmen didn't know whether he was actually excited or just trying to scare them.
"Let's go!" Yoshi dove into the water.
"You go first Toony!" Link pushed Toony into the water.
"Damnit I forgot my Zora suit…oh well." Link jumped into the water and began to follow behind.
They swam into the dark opening. Suddenly, a loud thud was heard from behind. The three Smashers turned their heads and saw that the entrance had closed on them. Toony opened his mouth to gasp, but he panicked after water got into his mouth. Link grabbed Toony's hand and continued to swim ahead with the Yoshi by his side.
A small light began to appear from a distance. They swam toward the light and emerged into the ruins. Yoshi and Link pulled Toony out of the water. The young swordsmen fell to the cold ground and coughed out water. Once he stood up, he looked around.
"So, this is the ruins?"
"Yep!" replied Yoshi.
Toony stood up and spotted a diamond Yoshi figure in a hall to his right. "Whoa, that's pretty cool!" He walked into the hallway and looked at the diamond Yoshi figure.
"Toony! Get the hell over here!" shouted Link.
"Link! Check this out! This figure is made entirely of diamond! Nothing compared what you can find in ANY temple in the Hyrule Kingdom."
"I wanna see!" Link ran into the hallway, leaving Yoshi behind.
Once Link entered the hallway, a large stone tablet fell down, separating the swordsmen from the Yoshi. Link turned around and banged on the hard stone tablet.
"No! We're stuck…AGAIN!" shouted Link.
"What!?" Toony turned around and saw Link banging on the hard stone tablet that was blocking their only exit.
"How did that happened!?" shrieked Toony.
"Guys! Can you hear me!?" shouted Yoshi from the other side of the wall.
"Yeah!" shouted Link.
"What are we gonna do!?" cried out Toony.
"Why don't you guys go exploring for a bit? I will be going around the place too. There has to be a way out and I'm sure we'll meet up eventually!" reassured Yoshi.
"I guess you're right." said Link. He turned his attention to the boy who looked as if he was going to wet his pants. "Let's go traveling! We've been to plenty of dungeons. I'm sure we're gonna survive this one!"
"O-Okay."
Link and Toony began to walk through dark hallway of the ancient ruins. The two swordsmen were on their own in the forbidden ancient ruins.

Mario and Luigi knocked on the door to Princess Peach's castle. A toad opened the door and allowed them into the castle. Zelda and Princess Peach were sitting on the stairs having some tea.
"Hello Mario. Hello Luigi." greeted Princess Peach.
"Hello Princess. How have you been doing?" asked Mario.
"I've been doing great. Only Zelda is here. Link and Toony went to Yoshi's Island to visit Yoshi."
There was another knock on the door. Mario walked to the door and opened it. Fox, Falco and Samus were standing in front.
"It's great to see you guys!" shouted Mario.
"It's great to see you too." said Fox.
"Where are the others?" asked Samus.
"Well, Link and Toony went to go visit Yoshi. I don't care about Ganondorf..." said Zelda.
Princess Peach took a sip of her tea. "Why don't you guys give Link and Toony a surprise visit?"
"Hmm…that's not a bad idea," said Fox.
Falco glared at Fox.
"I think we should get Yellow. She hasn't visited her home in about a year." said Princess Peach.
"But that means we're gonna have to go to Bowser's castle!" retorted Mario.
"Please Mario. Let's do it for the sake of Yoshi. He's our friend and we want to surprise him with his sister."
Mario sighed. "Fine."
"Let's take our ship. It's big enough to fit all of us," said Fox.
Everyone followed Fox and Falco into the Great Fox, which was parked to the side of the castle. They entered the main control room. Falco sat on his seat and began to make flight preparation.
"Wow, you sure have a lot of photos here." said Samus, looking around the room and admiring the photos that hung on the wall.
"Yeah, a great way to keep memories." said Fox.
"Prepare for landing!" announced Falco.
The Great Fox landed near Bowser's castle. Everyone gathered near the exit, except Falco who had to remain in the pilot seat.
"Mario, you got get Yellow." ordered Princess Peach.
"Why not Luigi!? Everyone ignores Luigi!" complained Mario.
"Mario, just listen to the Princess. No ifs, ands or buts!" said Fludd.
"Fine." Mario walked out of the ship and stopped in front of the castle door. He turned his back to see the group of Smashers looking at him. Mario faced the door and rang the doorbell. He heard a loud thud before the door opened.
"Mario!" squeaked Yellow.
The yellow Yoshi ran up to Mario and hugged him.
"Hey Yellow, do you wanna go see your brother?"
" What!? You mean as in right now?"
Mario nodded his head.
"I-I gotta ask Bowser first. Do you mind?" Yellow slammed the door shut and ran back to the koopalings who were watching a movie. "Guys…Mario is at the door and he said that he's gonna take me to see my brother!"
"You should go ahead then. I know you must miss your family..." said Wendy.
"We don't mind torturing Kamek for a bit. Go ahead!" said Ludwig.
"You really mean it!?" exclaimed Yellow.
"Go see your family. Papa is upstairs in his room." said Bowser Jr.
"Thanks guys!" said Yellow with tears streaming out of her eyes. She ran up stairs and entered Bowser's room. Her entrance interrupted Bowser and Ganondorf's card game.
"Bowser, can I got visit my brother?" asked Yellow nervously.
"Sure go ahead. I'll get Kamek to baby sit the kids." said Bowser as he looked at his hand.
"You got a 3?" asked Ganondorf.
"Go fish b****." said Bowser.
Ganondorf's eye twitched. He reached for the deck and grabbed a card. He placed the card in his hand and looked at Bowser behind the cards he held in his hand.
Sirius walked back downstairs and opened the door. Mario was leaning on the wall, half-asleep. Yellow tapped his shoulders. "I'm ready."
FLUDD squirted Mario's face. Mario jumped up and glared at FLUDD. "What the hell was that for!?"
"For being stupid. Yellow was talking to you!" said FLUDD.
"Oh you're ready? Fine let's go," Mario walked toward the Great Fox with Yellow following behind him. They entered the ship which immediately took flight.

"I have to use the bathroom..." said Link.
"Too bad there are no bathrooms in temples."
"Aww shit…"
Seriously, regarding every Legend of Zelda games, there is no place for Link to use the bathroom…so how does he…I'm thinking too much. xDD Maybe there is a bathroom. xD Anyways, besides the constant switch in settings, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! ^^
