Pit was flying over the ocean after fleeing from the explosion. He hadn't been flying too long. In fact, he had been flying for just less than five minutes
Nameplate: Pit
"Ok, Pit" Said Palutena, "The power of flight is running out. It's time to land. Unfortunately, I won't be able to contact you for a while, I need to sort out some things. You can handle this yourself right?"
"Yeah. I can handle it. I need a rest anyway. I haven't slept in days…" Pit replied
Being and angel he could live for high amounts of time without rest, food or drink. But eventually he would and he was feeling slightly parched and needed to sleep desperately. Pit closed his eyes and let out a big yawn. As he yawned he heard a loud rushing noise.
As his eyes opened he realised the rushing noise was getting louder and louder until he eventually turned around and there, larger than five halberds, was the biggest robot he had ever seen. The robot shot overhead and almost deafened pit. His ear drums were almost crushed by the sound of the flying robot.
The robot finally cleared and continued on its flight path. Pit held his ears as he watched the robot heading off to a large island where there was a thick fog surrounding it. Pit had a feeling that that was where he had to go. If a giant robot was landing there then Pit would too... plus he could get some sleep. Palutena had the same thought and quickly made pit fly towards the island before his wings burned up.
The closer he got the drowsier he got which was strange as angels didn't tire that easily.
After a few seconds he landed on the island and he felt like he was going to drop like Kirby's down special. He slowly laid himself down on the floor and his eyes began to close.
Then suddenly... the ground around him began to melt away into blackness. Pit quickly stood up and began to fly upwards as the ground he was sleeping on had melted away too. He continued to fly until he saw his soldiers flying towards him to help him up.
They grabbed his arms so he didn't have to fly and pulled him up away from the rising darkness. Suddenly, a bit of the darkness shot out and hit into one of the soldiers. The small angel fell down and was engulfed by the pitch blackness. The other centurions quickly began to lift Pit as high as possible but then more darkness beams shot out and got the others.
Pit's eyes widened when his soldiers were eaten by the dark and he panicked and began to use his Pegasus wings. He rose up and up and up until... he escaped.
Pit fell down on all floors with exhaustion. He looked up and Palutena stood there glaring down at Pit.
"Pit!" She shouted. "Your selfish actions have caused 6 centurion soldiers to die trying to save you and you let them just die!"
"There was nothing i could do..." began pit but the goddess refused to listen.
"For your selfish acts you shall be banished from the heavens and will be forced to live in the underworld with medusa!"
Pit was horrified as the ground opened up and he dropped. His wings refused to work and he landed with a thud. The last thing he saw was a big ominous shadow closing in on him when...
"Pit... You okay?" Pit woke up with a shock and looked around. A short guy with a giant nose, a spacesuit to protect him from the oxygen and five multi-coloured plant animals following him was standing there looking confused.
Nameplate: Captain Olimar and his Pikmin
"Wow... what a nightmare..." said pit and Olimar gave him a funny look. "I had a nightmare too" he said...
After pit and Olimar had explained their nightmares to each other, they both realised they had something in common. In both dreams, the same ominous shadow had appeared right before they woke up.
"So do you have any idea what that shadow was?" asked pit, petting the red Pikmin sitting on his lap.
"Uh... i don't think so. But it scared me more than those giant R.O.B things" replied Olimar, who was busy plucking more Pikmin.
"Well... i still feel tired now so maybe it's something to do with this fog." said Pit. He put the red Pikmin on the ground and stood up. He took in a deep breath of the fog and felt like he was going to fall over like a log and just... sleep.
"Yep... it's definitely the fog" said pit and he sat back down again before he fell asleep.
"We need to find out what's causing this island to make the fog. In fact, that's the main reason me and the Pikmin came here" said Olimar. He blew his whistle and all the Pikmin he had (about 35 by now) jumped up and ran over towards him. "C'mon pit. Let's go find out what's going on.
After about an hour of walking, pit and Olimar came to a small clearing in the forest with a large puddle in the shape of a full moon. And then that same creepy shadow from the dreams crept across the water. Pit and Olimar back away slowly but suddenly they heard a voice.
"Why are you still here... Why did my nightmares not send you away? You two are just like the young green yoshisaurus that came here, exploring. AND YOU SHALL HAVE THE SAME FATE!" said the voice. Then, the shadow on the water began to grow and the Pikmin sank inside. "My dark void will swallow you whole for you ignorance" said the voice again.
Pit sank in along with the Pikmin and as Olimar sank in he asked "Who are you..?"
The voice chuckled. "I am the master of the dark and the nightmares. I am..." but Olimar never heard the end of that sentence. For he had been swallowed by the darkness...
The Robots aboard the Slabship worked hard to fix up the old E-100 model robot. And the memory chip was nearly ready to be reinserted. Unfortunately they cannot see what is on the chip... as it could lead to Eggman's downfall.
Samus ran through the endless corridors of the Hammurs base. It was impossible to navigate in any way and she had found no map pickups like she usually does. She blasted down robot after robot and found nothing until she found a door labelled "cells"
Samus opened the door. It could have meant power cells or prison cells and she thought that either way, she would need to get in there. She walked in and right in front of her were about 20 prison cells. All of them were empty but one solitary cell had an occupant.
Nameplate: Red (Pokémon trainer)
Red sat there holding a single pokeball in his hands and was weeping. "Red? Is that you?" asked Samus, taking off her helmet.
"Samus! Oh boy, am i glad to see you" Red replied. He wiped a tear from his eye and stood up. Samus noticed that he only had one pokeball with him.
"Where are your other Pokémon?" she asked.
Red's eyes began to water. "About 5 days ago, a robot came in and took Squirtle's pokeball from me and yesterday they took Ivysaur. About an hour ago they came in and took Pikachu who was in the cell next to me" He explained. "Now i only have Charizard, but there is this machine thing in here that stops my pokeballs from working".
Samus put her helmet back on. "Stand back, kid" she warned and he instantly jumped to the back of the cell. She held out her arm cannon and began to charge up and then, BOOOM! The cell door fell apart, allowing Red to simply step out. His face wore a glare as he stepped out. "Time to get my friends back!" He said darkly.
The door burst open as a robot came in. "PRISONER ESCAPING! PRISONER ESCA..." began the robot. But red was not in the mood at all. He threw Charizard's pokeball as hard as he could and the ball, itself, ripped the robot's head off. Charizard was released on the other side as more robots began to show up and he instantly knew what to do.
"Rock smash, Charizard!" shouted Red and the Pokémon lifted a boulder above the robot and smashed the rock over it, destroying it.
"No time for fighting, Red. We have to find your Pokémon!" said Samus. She had opened a door that was hidden on the darker side of the room and she ran through it. Red hopped on Charizard's back and glided after her.
The robots were following them and they proved that they were faster than they looked. Every now and again, Charizard would stop and shoot a fire blast at the robots to hold them back. Soon, Samus saw a door up ahead that read: "Do Not Enter! Building In Process".
She charged up her beam to full power and then blasted the door down, while Charizard finished off the robots. As the robots blew up, Red noticed that afterwards, small animals would exit and run off. And he realised something.
"What the..! Who are you?" shouted Eggman as Red and Samus entered the room. He was watching Gamma as he charged up his power. Soon he would be working again.
"I'm Red and this is Samus. I DEMAND that you release Pikachu and my Pokémon NOW!" said Red. He climbed off of Charizard's back and walked forwards slightly.
"OH-hohohoho! Listen, pipsqueak. Your pocket monsters are powering my greatest machines yet so i suggest you either get back to your cell or end up lying face down on the floor!" threatened Robotnik. He clicked his fingers. "ZERO! BETA! Attack!"
Two Robots arrived in front of the duo.
Nameplate: E-100 Alpha (Zero)
Nameplate: E-101 Beta Mk II
Beta, instantly took flight inside the giant factory room. Charizard was quick to follow him, leaving Samus and Alpha. Samus fired a missile at the Green robot that had a hard time dodging due to his heavy weight. However, he had high defence too, so little damage was taken. He then shot his hand at samus and she managed to sidestep just quickly enough. Zero then retracted his hand back into his a wrist using the rope that attached the two.
Meanwhile, Charizard and red chased after Beta near the ceiling of the huge factory. Beta had a pattern that Charizard seemed to have memorized. Missiles, laser, laser, dash attack, giant laser ball. First, he would set the missiles alight with flamethrower and bank left to avoid the first laser, and then he would use flamethrower to block the second. While Beta charged for his dash attack, Charizard would fire as many fire blasts as possible before barrel rolling out of the way. And then he used rock smash on him while he was close.
As Beta used the dash attack again, Charizard had an idea. After dodging, Charizard grabbed hold of the robot and began to fly towards the ground. At the very last moment he let go of Beta and let him crash right on top of Zero, destroying them both. From the wreckage, two pokeballs rolled out and stopped at Red's feet. With a smile he returned Charizard and picked up his other Pokémon.
Samus and Red advanced on Eggman who backed away. "Now, Now... let's not do anything hasty..." He began but then he heard a familiar beeping noise. He turned his head and saw Gamma turn himself on. "No! The memory chip isn't in yet... ugh. So be it. Gamma! I am your master! Eradicate those pests over there!" Robotnik said quickly and he sprinted away.
Gamma looked at Samus and Red. He had no time to work out what was happening but had a feeling he should do what he was told. He shot a laser blast at Red, who fell backwards in pain. He got back up with a frown and sent out Squirtle.
Gamma wasted no time and instantly began to shoot Samus and Squirtle without stopping. Soon Squirtle had fainted so Ivysaur was released to fight, but he didn't last too long either. So now just Samus remained, but her Power suit was low on energy. Gamma was too powerful for them. Suddenly, a small red robot that looked like a head atop wheel with a small claw coming off it entered.
"Master Robotnik! Gamma's memory chip has been fully recovered!" It said. Samus was caught off guard and shot a charge shot at the clawbot. It blew up on contact and the chip went flying through the air. Robotnik leapt through the air and just managed to catch the chip before it landed.
He stood up and held the chip above his head triumphantly and then proclaimed, "A-ha! Now, Gamma can recognise who i am before he destroys you!" He walked proudly over to gamma who fired one last shot at samus. She fell to her knees and looked up at gamma, who was now aimed directly at Samus's helmet.
"Gamma! Hold your fire!" Said Robotnik. He stood behind Gamma and opened a small slot in the back of his head. He inserted the SD sized chip and reclosed the slot. The head light on Gamma flashed on and then turned off again to show that the files had been downloaded.
"Mission complete. E-101 Beta has been... Where am i? Illogical!" Said gamma as his last memory finished downloading.
"Gamma! You have been rebuilt by me. Do you remember me?" asked Robotnik.
"Affirmative. You are Eggman" Gamma replied, lowering his gun.
"Correct! I... wait, no. I am your master, Robotnik!" said Eggman, confused.
"Your information is incorrect. You are Doctor Eggman." Gamma said. He turned away from Samus and Red and pointed his gun at Robotnik. "And your master registration has been deleted. You have been registered as... enemy". Finished Gamma and Eggman's eyes widened. Without another word he turned and sprinted towards the door as fast as he could.
Gamma lowered his gun and all the other robots fled. He turned to Samus and Red. Red was using max revives on his pokeballs and used a max potion on Charizard. Samus's suit was still low on power but managed to stand up. "Are you... still fighting us?" she asked with her arm cannon ready.
"Are you allies with Eggman?" Replied Gamma, also preparing his gun.
"That fat guy? No. He took our friends" Answered Red.
Gamma lowered his gun and replied "Then i am your... Friend. Where are your friends being held?" Asked Gamma.
Before Samus could say anything, Red answered the question for him. "They are dotted around the ship's prison blocks. If we're lucky we might be able to find them" He said.
"Then let us go! Follow me" Said Gamma and he walked off out of the factory. Red followed but Samus thought about Pikachu. Gamma was a friend, but he was being powered by Pikachu. What should she do? She then realised they had gone so she ran off after them...
