Author's Note:
Kirby 123, the guy who requested three Kirby characters to appear, also left this review behind:
"Oh and maybe add meta knight's enemies like galacta knight or dark meta knight?"
I'm honestly not so sure about that - including Magalor, Marx, and Zero in this chapter was awfully hard work (as well as making Kirby look OP), but I got the hang of it. One more guest review to answer:
"Can you do a chapter about sonic and bowser or one with sonic and dedede"
Why not do a chapter with Sonic and both villains? Bowser and King Dedede don't really have much direction currently as of right now - we have yet to see Bowser return to his pranking glory, and King Dedede...well, he's just hanging around. I'll see what I can do.
Episode 37: Make-Believe
Following less than two weeks of grueling community service, which involved cleaning up parks and all that good stuff, Wario made a defiant return to the Smash Mansion. He had to serve hours upon hours of community service after a judge ordered him to such a punishment for crimes that cannot be mentioned by any means - it was "not safe for work", as Isabelle had put it.
And now, the greedy fatso is making his glorious return to the great Smash Mansion, and he plans to do it in style. He made his way to the gaming room, perhaps the most frequented room of the mansion by far, and once he was inside, he lifted his arms to the heavens and belted out the following at the top of his lungs...
"I'm baaaaack!" he exclaimed; the brawlers in the gaming room glanced at Wario for a moment or two before resuming their usual activities. This left Wario scratching his head, wondering what was going on; did he not use that much enthusiasm, did he come at a very unconvenient time? "What gives, why aren't any of you paying attention to me?"
"Because not a single soul here likes you," replied Proto Man, reading a book. "Quite frankly, nobody cared that you were ever gone, your time away was a blessing in disguise, to be honest."
"Do you all feel the same way?" Wario asked everyone else in the gaming room - to his dismay, they all nodded their heads in agreement with Proto Man.
Wario: I thought I was one of the more revered and well-respected brawlers in this mansion! I mean, just look at me - I'm filthy rich, I have my own corporation, I ride a sweet motorcycle, my mustache is arguably better than Mario's, and I can be a pretty funny guy from time to time! What's not there to like about me?
"What's up Wario, glad to see you back at the mansion!" Sonic entered the gaming room, greeting the fatso. A majority of the brawlers glanced at one another, wondering what possibly convinced Sonic to speak with Wario. "So how was community service, was it fun picking up trash and cleaning out water fountains in the park?"
"It got extremely tedious at times...but the bottom line is, I've served my time and hopefully I won't have to go back there again," replied Wario, gleeful that there was someone willing to engage in a genuine conversation with him. "Did anything interesting happened while I was away?"
"Let's see..." Sonic stroked his chin, recalling the mansion's many past events. "Villager found a rare Ken Griffey Jr. card in the backyard...King K. Rool...lost close to twenty pounds...Dark Pit got dunked on by Ike in the hallway...eh, not that much happened." So Link leading Team Mario to victory over the United States men's basketball team in a game of bowling wasn't interesting? Did it have to transpire at the mansion for it to count?
"Figures, hardly anything exciting happens here these days, ever since that Dimentio creep appeared, everything has been mundane for the most part...how is Lady Palutena treating herself?"
"She's doing just fine..." Sonic looked around, wondering why Wario even bothered to ask this question, until something popped in the hedgehog's mind. "Why are you asking about her for, do you like her?" Sonic was now smiling cleverly, attempting to pry a response out of a now nervous Wario.
"What, can an honest man ask about the well-being of a fellow brawler these days?" was the fatso's response. Sweat was now pouring down his face, as those in the gaming room were watching attentively, waiting for Wario's next move.
"Not unless that honest man harbors a crush on that brawler..." What Sonic was about to do next was a slight microcosm of his jerkbag ways. "WARIO LIKES PALUTENA YOU GUYS!" the hedgehog would shout to everyone in the gaming room. What do these individuals have to say about this?
"Get out of your mind Sonic, no woman regardless of her looks would want to be seen with that fiend," Marth had to say about the hedgehog's outburst. Wario frowned and folded his arms at the hero-king's crude remark; he's more than just a fiend, he's a rich fiend! "His ugliness will prevent him for ever finding love, especially from a teenager in high school..."
Marth: Still in disbelief that at one point, Wario was romantically linked with a girl named Mona - and she's in high school, high school I tell you! What's worse is that she practically looks up to Wario, what's there to adore about a man who once offered to pay Alph to brush his teeth for him, that's one of the most basic things a human can possibly do!
Diddy Kong: A girl in high school used to like Wario? Isn't she a bit too young to be a gold digger? *pauses* Then again, that Aaliyah singer was a gold digger herself, at the age of fifteen nonetheless...though that was more of R. Kelly's fault than anything.
"I'm sorry Wario, but I gotta side with Marth on this one," said Yoshi, complying with Marth. "Your personality traits and quirks don't do you any favors either, aside from your...grotesque looks." Wario doesn't mind being called grotesque, he's taken worse insults about his looks.
"Wario will die a calm, peaceful death by himself and nobody will bother to attend his funeral," Mewtwo had this to say about Wario. Wow Mewtwo, that's pretty harsh...a definite low blow right there.
"Seems to me like we got ourselves a couple of haters..." said Wario, trying to sound like WWE superstar Enzo Amore. Though nobody will come close to sounding like Enzo Amore, and you can't teach that. "Screw all of you guys, I'm outta here..." Wario exited the gaming room, and it didn't take the fatso that long until a certain hedgehog came up to him.
"Wario wait up for a second, it won't be long!" Sonic chased after Wario, who came to a stop after his name was called out. "So you like Palutena, is that right? What if I guide you in starting a relationship with Palutena, teach you all the ins and outs of love?" This initially sounded enticing to Wario, though the intrigue went down when he considered whom he'll be receiving this guidance from.
"Like I would want to sixteen year old hedgehog to talk to me about love, give me a break! Thanks, but no thanks!"
"Yet you let a high schooler fawn over you and you were completely fine with the whole thing...so what's your point?" This left Wario pretty stumped, he had no other choice but to say yes to Sonic's offer.
"Okay then, teach me your ways! Teach me everything you know and more about love, and one day I can be loving Palutena, and she can love me back!"
After telling the entire mansion that his wife Daisy was pregnant (and for two months no less, Luigi could told everyone sooner, but he chose not to, goes on to show you how much of a coward he his, though Daisy is at fault for not telling Luigi when the pregnancy test first came in, but Luigi's a frail, sensitive dude so you can't really blame her, also what's with all these complete thoughts going on?), Luigi is now getting all sorts of help from his fellow brawlers on the road to fatherhood, and his faithful twin brother Mario was doing everything he could to lend a helping hand, because that's what great brothers do.
"You know, when you said you would be a huge help to Luigi, I thought you would go the extra mile more than anyone else, but this is way too underwhelming," Yuffie (still on house arrest, mind you) said to Mario...who was painting the nursery room green. Because no loving parents can't nurture their child in a nursery room that's devoid of color on the walls.
Luigi: Unlike-a my wedding planning, which saw one-a person helping me throughout-a the way and oppressing everyone-a else from pitching in, everybody is more than-a willing to help me and-a Daisy out, and I feel-a so grateful for all they've-a been doing for us. Pac-Man tells me about-a what every great father should-a do, Wii Fit Trainer nurses-a Daisy whenever she has-a her dizzy spells, and Fox and-a Falco, well...
"Push, push with all your might!" Fox, wearing a doctor outfit, told Falco, who was lying on Luigi's bed in the plumber's room, with a blanket over his lower body trying to "give birth" while making sounds a woman going into labor would in this given situation. Luigi was forced by the Star Fox pilots to watch this, for it is a lesson in pregnancy that is apparently "crucial" for the plumber.
"Do I really have-a to watch this, I've got more-a important things to do..." said Luigi, feeling uncomfortable as he watched Falco on his bed push with all he's got, with a giant lump on the blanket to boot. The song "Push It to the Limit", sung by Corbin Bleu and playing in the background from Falco's cellphone, made this experience for Luigi all the more cringeworthy, even more so due to the fact that the song has NOTHING to do with pregnancy, especially the chorus part.
"No Luigi, this is for your benefit!" stated Fox. "What if the doctors presiding over Daisy giving birth are suddenly revealed to be super incompetent, and you need to take matters into your own hands? This is what this lesson is for, it's for you to put on that Superman cape, and step up for the challenge when it matters the most!"
"Someone get a tissue or a cloth or something!" Falco barked out, the imaginary sweat running down his face; Fox grabbed Luigi's handkerchief and rubbed it all over Falco's face, to the chagrin of the green plumber. "Thanks, man." Fox placed the handkerchief back where it was before Falco went back to pushing and making groans and the usual stuff.
Finally the cringe fest for Luigi was over, and after all the time of pushing and groaning and sobbing that produced no tears whatsoever, Falco finally gave "birth"...to a Smoochum? Fox gently took the kiss Pokemon from underneath the blanket when it was all said and done, and Luigi was understandably confused and distraught at the same time.
"Of all the things-a you could have chosen, and it had-a to be a SMOOCHUM?!" questioned Luigi. If he wasn't so greatly concerned with Fox and Falco before, he definitely is now.
"Smoochum is a baby Pokemon, and is also human-like as well, so it makes sense," Fox defended his and Falco's choice of using a Smoochum. "Also, Smoochum is a 'she', and not an 'it'. Quit being so insensitive to Pokemon, they have feelings too!"
Fox and Falco headed downstairs to the living room, where Ashley, Roy, Takamaru, Shulk, Fiora, and Lucario were working on an announcement chalkboard sign with March 2017, the expected arrival month for Luigi's and Daisy's baby, written on it, along with some preppy phrase and vibrant colors on it. Once he had everyone's attention, Fox lifted up Smoochum in the air like Rafiki from The Lion King, holding the Pokemon in the air for everyone to see, while "The Circle of Life" played in the background, out of Falco's cellphone. Nothing but blank stares and confused expressions were written on the faces of those working on the chalkboard sign.
Ashley: Heard Falco make some rather pain-inducing sounds upstairs while I was working on the chalkboard sign. I was going upstairs to investigate and see what was going on, but I decided against doing so...and now I see that I hardly regret my decision at all.
"Guys is this-a really necessary, you're making a huge-a scene out of nothing," Luigi said to Fox and Falco once he came down the steps. Suddenly Falco fell to the floor in imaginary pain, clutching his stomach. "Oh, great, what is it-a now?"
"I think I'm going into labor again, my stomach burns!" yelped Falco, huffing and puffing to make the scene look more authentic than it should. Gotta commend Falco for the great acting job he's exhibiting. "The pain, it burns, it burns us!" Now he's sounding like Golem from the Lord of the Rings...maybe he's taking this acting thing a bit too far...
"Well, aren't you-a going to 'doctor' Falco?" Luigi asked Fox, who slowly backed away from Falco. "Why are-a you backing away?"
"Dude I already had my chance, now it's your turn; time to put what you have learned into work!" responded Fox. As if Luigi actually learned anything from his "lesson"... "What if you're at home, and Daisy goes into labor, and you can't get her to the hospital in time? This is what this current scenario is for!"
"I can get-a to the hospital in plenty of-a time, it's not-a that far from..." Luigi stopped, for he knew that arguing with Fox with Falco screaming uncontrollably would be a very unwise thing to do. "...never mind." So the plumber knelt down at Falco's side, and treated the avian pilot who's apparently "going into labor", doing every little step a regular doctor would when presiding over a woman giving birth to a child. The chalkboard sign workers watched this unfold with pained looks on their faces, for they felt the cringe and uncomfortable nature Luigi was subjected to the first time around.
"What a wonderful time of shopping we had together, we should definitely go out shopping again!" Peach happily conversed with Daisy as the two princesses entered Luigi's home, carrying shopping bags in their hands, when they stepped inside the living room and saw Luigi tending to Falco. One glance of Falco with a blanket over his lower body and a giant lump in said blanket was enough for the Peach and Daisy to drop their things and depart from the house, trying to forget what they had seen.
Falco's "pregnancy", part 2, ended when Falco "gave birth" to yet another Pokemon - this one being Magby. Luigi held the live coal Pokemon in bewilderment as Falco sprung up from the floor like nothing happened and played "You're the Best Around" by Joe Esposito from his cellphone, running around the house with his arms in the air and those working on the chalkboard sign giving the avian pilot concerned looks. Fox stood where he was, clapping for Falco.
"You know, you and your fox friend are one of the many reasons why I'm sometimes reluctant to come and visit you guys," Fiora said this to Falco as the pilot continued to run about, too busy "celebrating" to pay attention to the Homs.
Lucario: Wish we had video evidence of Falco giving birth to that Magby, as well as giving birth to Smoochum, so we can show Krystal what crazy, maniacal things Fox is doing with his best friend. Heck, she knows Falco as much as Fox does, so I bet she's probably worried sick about Fox's frame of mind whenever he and Falco are plotting stuff together. Falco is that kind of friend that would help you rob a bank or two, and then run away and let you get arrested and sent to jail while he's on the run, basking in all the credit. I think we've all had that kind of friend before once in our lives.
"Can some-a one tell me what's-a going on, what is up with-a all that commotion?" Mario exited the nursery room and popped up in the living room, after hearing the music playing and Fox's applause from where he was. Falco stopped in his tracks when he saw Mario, glaring at him as he ran near him, and Fox stopped clapping at right about the same moment Falco stopped. "Not a single word-a from the both of you, follow me..." Fox and Falco did as they were told, following Mario back to the nursery room. Looks like they're on timeout...but what grown man puts two other grown men on timeout?
"Flashlight, check...water canisters, check...insect repellent, check...first-aid kit, check..." Lucina was going over a list of hiking materials in her room, and Chrom was packing up hiking equipment in his backpack. It's his first time using a backpack, but fortunately for him, it's a pretty easy object to use. "Looks like we got everything that we need..."
"We will be needing these, for comfort," Robin entered the room, carrying three pairs of hiking shoes and dropping them on the floor. In case you couldn't tell, Lucina and Chrom are going out hiking, as a part of their "father-daughter bonding", and for some reason, Robin wants to tag along with them. Perhaps he's trying to get closer to Lucina? "The terrain we'll be walking on will be very rocky and bumpy, and these shoes will negate any problems we may have."
"Thanks for the shoes Robin - I doubt Lucina and I can rock these shoes to perfection, but we'll make the most of it," Chrom said to Robin, who simply flashed a smile.
Chrom: So Lucina and I are going out on a hiking trip - to see what Seattle has to offer, aside from the usual forest, parks, and rabid Seattle Seahawks fans we've grown accustomed to. Never seen so many sports fans that dedicated to one lousy sports team...
Lucina: Master Hand rarely lets us outside the mansion for such activities; the only time he lets us out to roam unknown places is if we're doing "missionary work". To this day I still don't know what he exactly means by that.
Chrom: I believe this "missionary work" is an umbrella term for recruiting certain individuals to join Super Smash Bros and participate in the Smash tournaments. Once he delegated Olimar to complete this "missionary work" that he speaks of, and now poor Olimar has a restraining order from Cammy from Street Fighter...which means he can't enter Britain ever again.
Peeking through the doorway of the room was Link, who was hiding, though not stealthily - if you walked by you could easily see him perched near the door. And that's how Cloud found his best friend, sitting on the floor and watching Lucina and Robin closely and attentively.
"Spying on your fellow brawlers, huh?" Cloud grinned at Link, catching the Hylian off-guard when he heard his voice. "I have to admit Link, that's pretty low even for your own standards."
"Whoever said I was spying, I'm just...observing, that's all," Link defended himself before he returned to "observing" Lucina and Robin. Cloud noticed that Link was stroking his chin thoughtfully...he's definitely observing alright.
"Observing is the same thing as spying, if you ask me. Why are you so intrigued in Lucina - is she your side chick or something?" Understandably, this question got Link all fired up.
"Ew, no, I never liked Lucina, ever!" The way Link responded, it made it seem like to Cloud that the Hylian thinks of Lucina as unattractive, when plenty of male Smash fans tend to think otherwise. "...What I'm trying to say is, I'm not interested in Lucina. I'm just watching her and Robin's interactions, that's all."
"You're watching how Lucina and Robin interact together? Bet it's because they're a presumed couple and they're practically meant for each other, isn't it? Sounds like something a jealous boyfriend would do, watching other romantic couples mingle and stuff. Sure you aren't jealous?"
At this point, Link was fed up with Cloud's constant questioning. Cloud has never asked this many questions before - Larry King must have put him up to it.
"No, I'm not jealous, nor am I envious," stated Link. "I'm just...a bit intrigued, it's hard to explain." And Cloud still wasn't convinced.
"Gotta wonder what Zelda would think of this..." Cloud shook his head as he walked away. Once the blonde swordsman was out of sight, Link resumed his spying, or "observing", as he calls it.
"Thanks for inviting me over for your tea party, you guys are the best!" Daisy said to Peach and Zelda, who were having another one of their tea parties - this time inviting Daisy over to join them. "I really needed this little get-together, to forget what Fox and Falco were putting my husband through..."
Zelda: Peach and Daisy told me that Falco was trying to "give birth", likely as a way to teach Luigi about what to do when Daisy goes into labor. That's about all I have to say about this matter.
"Care for some more tea?" Zelda asked Daisy, carrying the tea kettle in her hands; the princess of Sarasaland happily nodded and Zelda poured some tea into her cup. "We should really invite you to our tea parties more often, Daisy, you're arguably one of the better guests we've had...at least you won't release any toxic fumes out of your exterior like Pit and Wario tend to do, those childish fiends..."
The princesses' tea party continued peacefully, with no Bowser to distract them or Doc Louis to smite them for not having any chocolate whatsoever, when all of a sudden something happened to Daisy. The flower-obsessed tomboy began to hold her head, feeling very light-headed. Peach, the ever attentive one, noticed this real quick.
"Daisy is there anything wrong?" the Mushroom Kingdom asked Daisy, who was moaning as she grew even more light-headed. "Tell us what the problem is immediately, we can't bare to see you like this!"
"She must be feeling extremely dizzy!" panicked Zelda. Dizziness is a symptom most pregnant women face during their ninth week of pregnancy, and now Daisy is understanding what it's like to be carrying the burden of giving birth. "We have to get her to a bed, and fast!"
"Pika pika!" Pikachu chirped (not a bird chirp obviously, the type of chirp you'd make when uttering a high-pitched sound) as he happily rustled through flowers in a vase, placed on a chimney in the living room. Yes, the mansion has a chimney, the more you know.
"Stupid mouse, get away from those flowers, Meryl gave them to me and I can't have vermin like you sniffing those flowers!" Snake angrily ran towards Pikachu, scaring the mouse Pokemon away and making him jump down from the chimney. "Meryl had bought these flowers for me...and not that Johnny Sasaki jerk." In case you didn't know already, Snake has ill will towards Mr. Sasaki for marrying his romantic interest, Meryl Silverburgh, and the former spy has been feeling bitter about it to this very day.
"Pika pi, pika?" Pikachu, lying on the floor, looked up at Snake with his puppy eyes. Snake tries to resist the allure of the puppy eyes look, but as proven time and time again, trying to look away is absolutely futile, giving in is your only option.
"D'oh, I can't stay mad at you forever...sorry for unleashing my anger upon you," Snake knelt down and scratched Pikachu's forehead, making the mouse Pokemon smile.
Snake: *face in his hands* Can't believe I fell for the classic puppy eyes look trick, I'm such an idiot...why can't my accelerated age mechanism make me the tough guy that I'm supposed to be?
Pikachu: Pika pika pika... *rubs his paws evilly*
"Let me tell you something about age, 'cause you're gonna be facing what I'm facing...only without the accelerated age crap," Snake said to Pikachu, taking a seat on a sofa next to the chimney. Yes, the living room has a sofa, you learn something new every day, don't you? "When you get old, you tend to forget things, sometimes more than you remember. However, there's only one thing - or person - that I'll never forget, and her name is Meryl Silverburgh." Hoo boy, is he going on a mini-rant about what could have been regarding him and Meryl? Why would Pikachu care at all for that? "Even though I'm fastly approaching senior citizen status (if I haven't approached it already), I'll never forget Meryl, and the fun times we would have together." Pikachu eyed the room, wanting to know why Snake is even telling him this. "I remember she gave me a picture of me and her together, at Shadow Moses Island...I've been looking all over for it, but it's nowhere to be found. Perhaps I should resume my search today, it's not like I have anything else better to do..."
Snake looked outside one of the living room windows, and was amazed to see a blue Galleon ship soaring in the sky to an unknown destination. But this was no ordinary Galleon ship - after all, what kind of ship floats in the sky, with no water to propel it?
"A ship in the sky?" Snake raised an eyebrow. "Too early for that stuff, that usually happens in November...either Seattle is a weird place, or I'm just having delusions. No matter, that's not important now. What is important is getting that picture..."
Peach and Zelda escorted a terribly dizzy Daisy to Peach's room, and laid her in Peach's bed to get some rest. The princesses, as well as Palutena and Aerith, remained in the room, with the latter two women checking on the princess of Sarasaland.
"These dizzy spells are definitely due to the pregnancy," stated Palutena as she observed Daisy, who had her eyes closed at the moment. "I'm afraid Daisy will experience more symptoms as the pregnancy wears on...Also, where is Pit, I told him him retrieve Luigi! What is taking him so long?"
"He's taking an awfully long time, he should have been back right about now," said Aerith, looking out the open door. "Unless he came across any distractions..."
"Lady Palutena I'm finally here!" Pit entered the room, bringing Luigi - who was carried by the arm - with him. The angel had paint all over his face and toga, and it made the ladies concerned about what mess Pit had gotten himself into. "Sorry I got here so late, while I was looking for Luigi at his home, I ran into a few paint cans here and there, and since these paint cans were placed at inconvenient places..."
"Those-a cans were lined up against-a the wall, you're the one-a who was running frantically around-a my house looking for me..." clarified Luigi. Pit giggled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. That grin isn't going to save you from the scolding Palutena and the other ladies are giving you, Pit.
Pit: Getting myself splattered in paint was an ulterior motive...I wanted to be like one of the Inklings, to be soaked in paint - I wanted to know how they handle being covered in paint without losing their mind. I haven't lost my mind...at least not yet. Maybe I did it wrong...
"We noticed something was wrong with Daisy while we were having our tea party," Zelda told Luigi as the plumber headed over to the bed to check on his loving wife. "She's suffering from dizzy spells, and by the looks of it, they're pretty bad ones as well."
"Dizzy spells from out of nowhere, that can't be good!" Pit had this to say. Luigi and the ladies looked at one another, figuring out which unfortunate soul would have to break the news to Pit and tell him that the dizzy spell is due to Daisy's pregnancy. Pit isn't exactly the brightest angel, so telling him the information and expecting him to intake it without asking pointless questions might take longer than expected.
"Daisy didn't get the dizzy spells out of nowhere Pit, it's her pregnancy that gave her the dizzy spells to begin with," Peach happily explained for Pit, but he didn't understand, as evidenced by the confused look on his face.
"Ugh, you people are so gullible; Daisy isn't pregnant, and was never pregnant to begin with, and if she was, then why isn't her stomach big?" Does Pit not know that a pregnant woman's stomach starts off small, then grows bigger and bigger as time goes on? Biology is obviously one of the angel's many lacks of expertise...
"...Pit, would you be a dear, and stay with Luigi and Daisy?" asked Palutena. The goddess of light would put Pit on blast for failing to understand the basic factoids of pregnancy, but she'll put it on hold...for now. "They'll need all the company they can get..."
"I'll stay with them as well, I can be a nurse of sorts," elected Aerith. The flower girl offers no form of medical assistance whatsoever, but she can certainly offer encouragement and soothing and moral guidance, if moral guidance is even needed.
"Well then, we'll just leave you all be," Zelda said as she, Peach, and Palutena departed from the room. "If you ever need anything, you know who to call." Once the three exited the room, Pit instantly asked the following question...
"Has King K. Rool been pregnant this whole time, what with his gigantic belly and all?" the angel had the gall and the audacity to ask this question, and on a slightly serious note nonetheless. Luigi facepalmed, and Aerith sported a faint smile, both having some sympathy for Pit. Must be illegal to be dumb like him...
Palutena: Pit staying over with Luigi and Daisy is only for the greater good. My hope is that Luigi and Daisy can at least educate Pit, and teach him that pregnancy is more than just carrying a fetus in your belly and having to eat certain foods...and also remind him that it's only WOMEN who can become impregnated.
Daisy, whose eyes were closed for the longest now, suddenly opened her eyes, surprising Luigi, Aerith, and Pit. The princess looked around, analyzing her surroundings.
"Wh-where am I, how did I get here?" Daisy asked Luigi, Aerith, and Pit, who were looking at the princess with their mouths agape. Luigi and Aerith dropped their facial expressions in a quick second, but Pit didn't - his brain processing must not be that strong. "Why am I even here in the first place?"
"You were-a having dizzy spells, sweetie, but it appears that-a you've been cured," explained Luigi, resting his loving hand on his wife. "You look-a much better now, but we must keep-a you in the bed, for the time-a being. It's only for-a the best..."
"Why don't we tell a story, to keep your spirits lifted up?" suggested Aerith. Always great to have a sensible person like her around. "Don't you think that's a good idea, you guys?" the flower girl asked Luigi and Pit; Luigi nodded his head, and Pit...was still stuck with his mouth agape. Luigi had to nudge the angel to make him snap out of his little trance.
"Oh yeah, oh yeah, some storytelling would be nice!" Pit eagerly nodded his head. "Good thing is, I know the perfect storyteller! Stay right here, I'll be right back!" The angel ran out of the room, to retrieve this "perfect storyteller". Just who is he possibly referring to?
"Sign looks great outside the house!" Shulk smiled as he watched Mario implant the chalkboard sign of Daisy's pregnancy into the ground. "And it looks so colorful too, don't you think so Mario?"
"Indeed-a it does, you guys did a wonderful-a job with the sign!" the plumber agreed, just when he was finished implanting the sign. "Daisy would enjoy this-a sign very much! Wonder where she-a is, haven't seen her or-a Peach since they went-a out shopping..."
"Mario, Mario, we have a major crisis on our hands!" Takamaru ran outside Luigi's home to alert Mario. The samurai was all panicky and serious, but he might be over-exaggerating a bit. "It's Fox and Falco, they've gone insane!" Well, there's no over-exaggerating the Star Fox pilots' antics, and Mario understood that real quick when he looked at Takamaru in shock.
"Take-a me inside this instant!" ordered the plumber, and Takamaru led Mario back inside Luigi's home and to the nursery room, with Shulk following them to see what the hullabaloo was all about. Inside they saw the chalkboard sign workers huddled near the nursery room entrance, and when Takamaru took Mario and Shulk to the crowd, they both looked in horror when they saw Fox and Falco painting the room...in neon colors. Far from what Luigi envisioned.
Fox: As punishment for our antics with Luigi earlier, Mario delegated us to painting the nursery room, and he wanted us to paint it green, just the way Luigi wants it. However, Falco and I both felt that painting the room with one measly color is too mainstream.
Falco: And, so the newborn baby won't have to be unnerved by a basic color like green, we're going to paint the nursery room with neon colors, so it will look lively. I mean, Mario has to love that, right?
"I HATE IT!" Mario screamed at the top of his lungs. "Hate it, hate it, HATE IT! Take it all-a down this instant!"
"Yeah we would...but the paint is permanent, so..." stated Fox. Mario inhaled and exhaled deeply, as the others did their best to console the plumber and keep his cool down. "Is it possible to paint over permanent paint?"
"Alright Mario, let's settle down for a bit, no need to go off on Fox and Falco..." Roy soothed Mario, but the plumber was still ticked as ever. He and the others seated Mario on the couch, where the plumber would hyperventilate less and less, until he was at peace.
"You think we can make it up to Mario if we paint the nursery room with neon red and green colors?" Fox asked Falco, after witnessing that rather brief episode from Mario.
"Only one way to find out..." replied Falco, picking up a paintbrush and two cans of neon-colored paint he and Fox had bought a while ago.
Pit had returned to Peach's room, and he brought with him the perfect storyteller - Viridi, who once charmed Pit with a few books she read, although the angel bothered not to listen. Viridi's duty is to read a storytale to Daisy, to keep the princess's spirits up.
The story the goddess of nature decided to read was "The Dragon and the Princess", a fairy tale written by some sap who thought such a fairy tale could keep his kids quiet at night. In order to "enhance", Viridi had Luigi and company dress up - Luigi wore a dragon suit, Aerith wore an elegant gown and a crown to look like a princess, and Pit wore some medieval clothing, and also carried a rifle. Would you trust Pit wielding a rifle in his hands? No sane person wouldn't.
"'Once upon a time there was a dragon who lived in a great castle high up on a mountain'," Viridi began the story. "'The dragon had lived there for thousands of years, but no one had seen him. In the village that was located just below the mountain, they talked much about what it might be like in the castle, but no one dared to visit it. The dragon had been in the village several hundred years before, but had been frightened by a...'"
"Viridi how long-a do I have to stay up-a here, I feel somewhat-a uncomfortable from his height!" said Luigi, perched atop a makeshift tower made of pillows. You'd think Luigi wouldn't be so afraid, given how much time he spends up in the skies fighting the forces of evil in Bowser's airship (most of the time).
Viridi: When Pit asked me if I would like to tell stories to Daisy, I just had to accept the offer - storytelling is one of my favorite hobbies! Good thing is, Pit didn't shake my hand this time, like he did last week, that felt so...so awkward beyond words...
"The tower is only temporary, you'll get used to it eventually," assured Viridi. "Continuing on with our story... 'the dragon had been frightened by a strange noise. It was a shepherd boy, who had blown his flute. The dragon had never heard music before, and he thought it was terrible...One day, when the dragon was sitting in his castle, looking down at the village, he saw a beautiful girl with a crown on her head. He fell madly in love with her and thought that he would like to marry her. He did not know, of course, where she lived. But I'll have to look for her, he thought. But how would he dare to go down to the village? What if the terrible sound came again, that thing the people called music? He gathered courage for several days. Finally he went down.'" Luigi got down from the tower of pillows, feeling relieved. "'When he reached the village, he went into the woods, but she was nowhere to be found.'" Aerith is now hiding in the closet. "'Suddenly he saw a boy coming along. He carried a rifle. It was Peter, who was out in the woods hunting'." Pit walked towards Luigi, holding his rifle. "lWhen Peter saw the dragon, he was both surprised and scared. The dragon stopped and asked where the nice girl with the crown lived.'"
"Do you know-a where that nice-a girl with the crown lives?" Luigi asked Pit; the angel did not answer, for he was legitimately confused.
"Pit, did you seriously forget your lines?" questioned Daisy, fearful that the angel might ruin storytime with his incompetence.
"No I didn't forget my lines, what do you think I am?" responded Pit. "I'm just trying to figure out who this 'nice girl' is supposed to be, when we already have a female character in the princess." Viridi shook her head in dismay at Pit, baffled by her boyfriend's stupidity. Putting up with him is like a daily tolerance lesson.
"The nice girl is the princess," Aerith whispered to Pit from the closet. Pit nodded his head in realization, and soon the story picked up from where it left off.
"You're looking for the nice girl?" Pit asked Luigi, resuming the story. "She lives in a castle, in case you were wondering."
"'Then Peter rushed home and told everyone he met about the dragon, but no one believed him, for the villagers all told him that he was dreaming,'" Viridi read on. "One day the princess was gone. They looked everywhere throughout the spacious garden where she was picking flowers. Everyone in the castle looked for her, but she was nowhere to be found. The king's servant rode down to the village and put up a large poster saying that the princess was gone. The king promised a large reward to anyone who found the princess."
"Ooh, how much is the reward?" Pit excitedly rubbed his hands. There he goes again, interrupting the story...
"That doesn't matter right now. Anyway... 'When Peter read the poster, he came to think of the dragon, who had asked for the princess. What if it was the dragon who had abducted her! Peter wanted to go as fast as possible to the castle, because it was there the dragon had disappeared, but when he thought about it, he thought it was better to wait until it got dark. After dark Peter sneaked up to the castle, but when he came near, he saw that the dragon was awake and sitting on the steps and looking at the moon. Suddenly there was a terrible noise. Someone knocked on the window and shouted..."
Viridi stopped when Gil opened the door to the room and saw the goddess of nature reading from the storybook, seated next to Daisy. He then saw Luigi and Pit in their costumes, and felt very dismayed.
"I see how it is..." the knight grumbled as he slammed the door and walked away bitterly. Someone sure is salty today...
Gil: They have the best storyteller in the mansion, and they don't bother asking me to tell a story...instead they ask Viridi, Little Miss Cactus. What story does she possibly know, Twilight?! Harry Potter?! Hunger Games?! By the looks of it, I bet that's her first time reading a fairy tale, ever! *grumpily folds his arms*
After Gil's brief interruption, the story went on as planned, Pit found Aerith in the dungeon, Pit used "sleeping pills" (jelly beans) on Luigi to put him to "sleep", and Pit saved Aerith from this make-believe dungeon, and then everyone lived happy ever after, the end, you know the drill. All and all, Daisy enjoyed the story, as evidenced by her clapping.
"May I hear another story, pretty please?" the princess asked Viridi; the goddess of nature eagerly nodded, and flipped through the pages of the storybook she was reading from, in search for another story to read.
The threesome of Lucina, Chrom, and Robin were all set to go on their hiking expenditure, as the three stood in the foyer with all their materials ready. Link stood from a far distance, watching Lucina and Robin, and the Hylian wasn't alone this time...
"Sorry Link, but if you keep spying on Lucina and Robin, then I'm gonna lose a ton of respect for you," Cloud said to Link, the blonde swordsman forced to tag along with the hero of Hyrule. Someone has some amount of respect for Link? Well there's a first for everything...
"Only reason I'm bringing you along is as a fall guy; should we run into trouble, I'll make a run for it and you'll handle everything else," explained Link. "You're more capable than I am, after all." There's no denying that - they don't call Cloud one of the strongest fighters in Super Smash Bros for nothing!
"Poyo poyo poyo!" Kirby approached Link and Cloud, and it appears that the pink puffball wants to join them. But it's hard to determine what Kirby wants, since he literally said "poyo" three times. He could either be cursing out the two swordsmen, or nonchalantly telling them Dream Land gangster lingo., or some other reason. Like the center of a Toostie Roll pop, the world may never know.
"See, even Kirby wants to come along with us!" Link said to Cloud, still unconvinced. Lucina, Chrom, and Robin exited the mansion, taking their hiking stuff with them. "They're out of the mansion, time to make our move!" Link grabbed Cloud's hand and ran out of the front door, and Kirby ran after the two swordsmen. That puffball has no prior knowledge of Link's so-called "observing", why is he tagging along? The reason may be revealed eventually...
The next story Viridi was yet another fairy tale, "The Dog and the Sparrow", and it was written by the Brothers Grimm, two awesome German writers who evidently preferred being called the Brothers Grimm, instead of the Grimm Brothers. To each their own!
Luigi: "The Dog and the Sparrow" will-a mostly involve Pit having to speak-a for the Duck Hunt Dog, and as for-a me, I'll have-a to wear a bird-a suit. It won't-a be pretty, but I'm sure-a Daisy will enjoy it.
"'The dog lay down in the middle of the road, and was soon fast asleep,'" Viridi read. "'While he was sleeping a carter passed by, driving a wagon drawn by three horses, and laden with two barrels of wine." Bowser Jr., who was brought over to serve as the carter, walked by the Duck Hunt Dog, fake sleeping on the floor, with a toy wagon.
"Will I get paid for doing this, is there any reward or benefit from pushing a stinking wagon?" Bowser Jr. stopped momentarily to ask Viridi this.
"For the last time, you're not getting paid, now quit interrupting the story and push that wagon!" Viridi angrily responded, clearly fed up with Bowser Jr.'s foolishness. The young koopa grumbled as he went back to pushing the wagon. "'The sparrow noticed that the man was not going out of his way to avoid the dog, but was driving right in the middle of the road where the poor animal lay; so he called out...'"
"Carter, take care what you are about, or I shall make you suffer for it!" Luigi, wearing his bird suit, called out to Bowser Jr.
"'But the carter merely laughed at his words...'" After Viridi said this, Bowser Jr. bellowed a thoroughly evil laugh, an evil laugh Bowser would be proud of while wiping away a tear. "'...and, cracking his whip, he drove his wagon right over the dog, so that the heavy wheels killed him.'" Bowser Jr. rolled his wagon over the Duck Hunt Dog, and the mutt played dead on the floor. All that experience of playing dead on the floor has been put to great use. "'Then the sparrow called out...'"
"'You have caused my brother's death, and your cruelty will cost you your wagon and horses!'" Luigi defiantly said to Bowser Jr. He ran up to the koopa and beat him up - and no, it wasn't an actual beatdown, it was more of a playfight, a one-sided playfight that was in strong favor of Luigi. Pit and Aerith, both sitting on a stool they shared together, were amused by the "fight", and Daisy was amused as well, enjoying the more fun side of her loving husband.
"Stop it you two, that's not how the story is supposed to end!" Viridi stood up, bitter about the outcome. "The story is supposed to end with Aerith with a toy ax and..."
"...striking me in the head with it, I get it, I understood the story before we began," replied Bowser Jr., finishing for Viridi. "Calm your tits, Little Miss Cactus." Viridi gritted her teeth at the koopa's response - which do you think she's more angry about, having been told to calm her tits (or the lack thereof), or Bowser Jr. dubbing her Little Miss Cactus?
Bowser Jr.: Me and Luigi reviewed the story before we had to act it out, and we both agreed that the ending was too dark. So instead of having Aerith accidentally "killing" me, we've opted to do some playfighting, and Aerith was pretty chill with the decision we made. Though she's pretty chill with just about anything!
"I don't think the ending was that bad, it was actually kinda funny," Daisy offered her opinion. She was looking much better than before. "I can go for one more story."
Sonic had brought Wario to the computer room, where the hedgehog will give the fatso a "lesson in love". And what exactly does this lesson involve? Watching romantic music videos, of course!
"Do we really have to watch a video, I don't have the attention span to be watching anything!" Wario grumbled as Sonic searched for "Down" by Jay Sean (what is that man up to these days?) on YouTube. "Please tell me we aren't watching a music video..."
"Well that's exactly what we're doing, it'll help you learn quicker!" stated Sonic, clicking on the video. "Now shut up and listen closely to the lyrics!"
Sonic: "Down" wasn't the first song I had in mind, I kept evaluating my options over time. One song choice I had in mind was by this R&B group Dru Hill, and it was called "Tell Me" - had the same theme as the song I ultimately picked. What struck me the most was the music video (watch it for yourself, you won't regret it) - the four members of the group where doing some kind of bunny hop dance, and snapping their fingers at the same time; that unique choreography would've be able to keep Wario's attention intact. I asked Ike, Marth, Corrin, and Roy to do the dance after I showed it to them, but they were too busy laughing at the video's entire choreography to give me a valid answer.
"Ugh, you just had to pick a lousy R&B song, what is wrong with you!" Wario grumbled as he folded his arms once the video played. Wait until he hears the Lil Wayne solo, let's see what he would have to say about that!
"R&B songs are mainly focused on love and romance, so I have no idea what you're talking about!" retorted Sonic, defending his song choice. "Now listen to the words of the song, for it will be your benefit!" Wario did his best to muster through the song, but after the Lil Wayne solo, the fatso couldn't take it anymore, and had to leave the room. "Wario, where are you going, you're gonna miss the rest of the song! Aw man, now you've missed the Birdman cameo! The Birdman cameo is what makes this music video so great!"
Wario stomped through the mansion, bitter about having his time wasted by a professional time-waster in Sonic, until he stopped in his tracks and saw Palutena standing in the hallway, looking down at the floor with a solemn face. The fatso suddenly recalled the music video Sonic had showed him - it was mainly about Jay Sean asking his girl if she was down. And by the looks of it, Palutena looked down as well. Sonic must have fully prepared Wario for this opportunity!
"Palutena why are you looking so down, did Pit drive you insane?" Wario asked the goddess of light as he came near her. "Trust me, I understand the pain you're going through, that boy Pit can be a major pain in the butt sometimes...and I mean that literally!" Wario rubbed his butt when he said this, rubbing the spot where Pit shot him at with an arrow. The pain still lingers to this day.
"No, Pit didn't drive me insane...not this time, that is," Palutena flashed a smile. "I'm just...concerned with Daisy, and how she's handling pregnancy. She had some dizzy spells earlier today, and I'm nervous about what other symptoms she'll face as the weeks pile on...I just want her to be fine and dandy, and all..."
"So what you're saying is, if Daisy feels one hundred percent, then you won't be all doom and gloom?" Wario stroked his chin when he said this; thankfully Palutena didn't notice this otherwise it would've been all over for the fatso.
"More or less, but there's more to that. I'm just about as concerned with...Wario?" Palutena suddenly noticed that the fatso was gone - likely about to go on another scheme. Only this time around, it has something to do with love...
"Great Wario, you're back, just in time!" Sonic gleamed when he saw Wario return to the computer room. "Thankfully I got the choreography down for the other music video, that "Tell Me" video, while you were away, and that bunny hope dance was...woah where are you taking me?!" Wario suddenly grabbed Sonic's hand, and ran out of the computer room.
"I know just the thing that will make Palutena happy!" Wario said to Sonic, walking down the hallway opposite from where Palutena was. "And you're coming with me!"
Luigi: The final-a story that will be-a read to Daisy is a bit-a of a classic - it's called Pinocchio. For what-a ever reason, Pit chose not to play-a as Pinocchio, saying that he-a has a "special surprise", which explains-a why I'm wearing this-a get-up... *shows off Pinocchio attire*
For this last story, someone was needed to play the part of Geppetto, a woodcarver who affectionately calls Pinocchio. Sounds creepy when you think long and had about it. Snake, who would have been more than perfect for the part due to his elderly looks, was busy searching for the missing photograph of him and Meryl Silverburgh, so Viridi had to improvise, so to speak...
"'Many years ago, there lived a poor man named Geppetto,'" read Viridi. "'He made puppets from pieces of wood. He called his favorite puppet Pinocchio.'" Luigi laid on the floor, his eyes open and his smile very much apparent. Seems evident the plumber has some experience of playing dead himself. So who is playing this Geppetto character?
"I would love to be a father to a real boy!" the Black Knight, who is apparently playing the part of Geppetto because of a strong lack of options, exclaimed with vigor and hardiness. Right after the Black Knight said his line...
"OH I WANNA BE A BOY!" Out of nowhere, the theme song for Teacher's Pet, a show that aired on ABC before it had a featured filmed burdened with short running time, played from Pit's cellphone. Everyone looked at the angel questionably, and Pit could only smile sheepishly.
"Whoops, played it at the wrong time..." Pit giggled, but the looks didn't go away. "Sorry about that..." He's not that sorry, he probably thought it was funny the whole time. Yet he's the only person laughing it up...
"That song has NOTHING to do with the story, but oh well," said Viridi, before resuming the story at hand. "'That night, a fairy who knew Geppetto was a good man, cost a magic spell over Pinocchio.'" Aerith, carrying a magic wand (a toy magic wand, rather) tip-toed over to Luigi and struck him lightly with the wand, and Luigi, slowly getting up, was walking. "'Geppetto was very happy to find that Pinocchio could walk, sit and talk. Poor Gappeto wanted to send Pinocchio to school. He sold his only coat for a spelling book...'"
"Wait just a second, how can there be a school, where would Luigi have to go to?" questioned the Black Knight, interrupting the story. Viridi's stories have now been interrupted so many times, the goddess of nature doesn't even care anymore.
"There doesn't have to be a physical school of any sort, just imagine a school being there!" suggested Viridi, wanting to continue the story. But unfortunately for her, the Black Knight believes he's too old for this imagination crap.
"Screw that, I'm out of here!" the knight angrily exited the room, leaving the story unfinished. Second time that has happened, and Viridi facepalmed and let out a huge sigh, shaking her head.
Black Knight: A grown man like myself using my "imagination" to create some make-believe school...who does Viridi think I am, a kindergartner? Does it look like I need a separate time in my day to take a nap, do I need to go outside to some playground just to have fun? I think NOT!
"So sorry you had to witness that Daisy," Viridi apologized to the princess...who's now looking much better than before. The princess certainly looks refreshed and full of energy, compared to her dizzy and lopsided state earlier ago.
"It's fine Viridi, I didn't really care how the story went," said Daisy, stretching out her arms. "I feel so much better already, I feel like going back home now!" The princess hopped out of the bed, and stretched a little more. Luigi was sure glad to see his wife back to normal again.
"Shall I escort-a you back to our home?" the plumber asked Daisy, locking arms with his wife. Daisy smiled as the two lovebirds exited the room, arm in arm, while Pit, Viridi, and Aerith looked on.
"Guess we can consider that a job well done, those stories sure did the trick..." grinned Pit, folding his arms behind his head. He looked over to Viridi, who was smiling intently while holding the storybook in her hands. "Don't even think about it..." Viridi frowned as she put the book down, hoping to get her chance another time.
"You may think you're better than me Heihachi, but I won't go down without a fight!" Ryu said to Heihachi Mishima, as the two were in an arm-wrestling battle in the lounge. It was an absolute stalemate; both men were strong beyond words and couldn't put the other down.
"Sore wa anata ga panku kangaeru monoda naraba, anata wa daun tsumoridesu!" Heihachi taunted his competitor, mustering all his strength to bring Ryu's fist down to the table. While the match wore on, Snake was snooping around the lounge, in search for that picture of him and Meryl. He had already looked inside his room, but the picture was nowhere to be found. It's the mystery not even Sherlock Holmes could solve.
"Missing something that's precious of yours?" Bayonetta, lying seductively on a couch, asked Snake, examining the spy's frantic facial expression. "Let me guess, did you forget where this thing you're looking for is located? Oh dear, accelerated age must be a great nuisance..."
"Shut your yap woman, I didn't forget, I just...didn't remember, that's all," replied Snake. Still along the same context as forgetting. "That picture of me and Meryl Silverburgh, I can't find it anywhere! I've looked everywhere - the kitchen cupboards, the laundry room, and even the toilet - but the picture is nowhere to be found!"
"Hmm...if I remember correctly, I saw Corrin exit this mansion with a picture in his hand." Snake looked up at Bayonetta, suddenly intrigued. "I could be wrong, but...it's something more than worth investigating."
Bayonetta: Saw Corrin exit the mansion with a picture in hand while I was in the foyer. I would have stopped him, but what would be the point? A wiser idea was to let that naive boy see where his ingenuousness will lead him to...
"Oh man, that kid is gonna pay for stealing that picture like that!" Snake gritted his teeth, anticipating the beatdown he'll give to the prince of Nohr. "Where can I find Corrin, tell me at once!"
"You honestly think I'm a Master Hand pawn, I'm going to know where every person of this mansion is located?" Bayonetta scoffed. "Why don't you go find Corrin yourself, he's your problem, not mine..."
"When are you gonna go on your date father?" Lucina asked Chrom, as she, Chrom, and Robin were hiking on a hiking trail in the outskirts of Seattle. "It's been the longest now, what's the holdup?"
"Sadly Raven keeps postponing our date for reasons she chooses not to explain," responded Chrom. For those of you who don't know, or may not remember, Raven is the female counterpart of Robin. "I've asked her several times online what the problem is, and she refuses to give an answer."
"I dunno Chrom, maybe Raven is looking for other people and she's just using you to her advantage," Robin implied while nudging the prince of Yliesse, while moving his eyebrows up and down. Chrom shook his head at Robin, in disbelief Raven is looking for other people - aside from Chrom, who else could she possibly go out on a date with?
"Quit being so childish Robin, and leave Father alone," Lucina scolded Robin, but the mage was still cheesing it up with a cheesy smile. So Lucina had to nudge him...hard. The impact definitely caught Robin off by surprise.
"Ouch, Lucina, not so hard!" Robin was now rubbing the place where Lucina nudged him at. What a cupcake... "C'mon, can a honest man joke around every now and then, Chrom and I were just having fun!"
"If you want to call it fun..." Lucina folded her arms and looked the other way. Typical Lucina, poor girl can't take a joke because she's serious ninety-nine percent of the time. It's sometimes hard to see what Robin finds in a woman overly serious like her.
Robin: Am I still bitter about Chrom messing up my opportunity to kiss Lucina? Obviously I am, that moment could have revealed to Lucina that I love her and care for her, and we could have started a relationship and go from there! But no, Chrom had to be a jerk, and prevent all of that from happening! I suspect that he doesn't want me and Lucina to love each other until he goes on his first date, and he's probably delaying the date, while using excuses like "Raven keeps postponing our date", just to prevent Lucina and I from affirming our relationship! He has an ulterior motive, I tell you, and I shall exploit it in due time...
As Lucina, Chrom, and Robin hiked along the trail, Link, Cloud, and Kirby watched from a far distance, following behind the Fire Emblem trio. Cloud was growing exhausted already, and Link was too, but he won't let the exhaustion get the best of him...until his spying mission has commenced.
"Link can we go back home now, you've been spying on Lucina and Robin for the longest now," Cloud said to Link, the sweat running down his face. He felt like he was about to collapse at any minute, but he'll keep marching on if it means keeping Link content.
"Our mission is not yet completed yet, just a little longer and we'll be done!" responded Link as he trudged onward. Who is he referring to by "our", he's the only one devoted to the "mission"! He forced Cloud to come along with him, and who knows why Kirby is even here.
"Ooh wah!" Kirby suddenly exclaimed when he saw a blue Galleon ship that instantly caught Link's and Cloud's attention - it was the same ship Snake saw in the sky earlier - ahead. What struck the pink puffball more was that a certain alien was next to the ship - Magalor, Kirby's former rival. And Magalor wasn't alone, another Kirby villain was with him - Marx, the main antagonist of Kirby Super Star; thankfully he wasn't in his bat form. Cloud grabbed Link and Kirby and hid behind a tree, while Lucina, Chrom, and Robin approached Magalor and Marx, interested in why they're even here.
"Hello there, are you two lost?" Chrom asked Magalor and Marx, not knowing they're both evil. "I see that you're ship is here, you're looking for an ocean to sail upon?"
"No, we're not lost or anything, we're just expecting a 'friend' of ours to come," explained Marx. Lucina, Chrom, and Robin, now would be the time to run away, if you know what's good for you.
"We're expecting him to appear at any minute now," added Magalor. "Fortunately for us we haven't waited here for an awfully long time..." Magalor pulled out a picture...a picture of Snake and Meryl, the same picture Snake's been looking for!
"Wait where did you get that picture from?" Lucina asked when the picture came into her focus. "I do believe that belongs to someone!"
"Some silver-haired dude gave me the picture a few days ago, he was easy to take advantage of. All I had to do was ask him for a picture, saying that I would donate the picture to charity, and he obliged! Who honestly gives pictures to charity? No one does! I played that man like a fiddle..."
Magalor stopped when a huge shadow fell over him. He turned around nervously...and saw Zero, the giant eyeball of Kirby fame, staring at everyone with his ominous...eye...of evil.
"Ahh, Zero, we've been expecting you..." Marx smiled evilly, and soon the Fire Emblem trio knew what they were getting themselves into...should have ran away when the had the chance, but now it's too late...
Corrin: Why did I give away the picture of Snake and Meryl to the alien person with the jester hat? Well, he said he was donating it to a good cause, so I had no other choice but to give him the picture, it was the easiest picture I could find. It's great to see individuals like that alien guy doing things for the greater good - like Donald Trump when he says he's going to make America great again. He's a textbook example of a role model, a selfless man willing to steer this country of America in the right direction, it just puts a smile on my face...
"This picture should be able to bring back some of your powers," Magalor held up the picture of Snake and Meryl to Zero; the giant eye scanned said picture, and then he shook violently, suddenly feeling recharged. Zero is back in business...and Link, Cloud, and Kirby were concerned for the Fire Emblem trio's well-being.
"That giant eyeball is freaking huge!" exclaimed Link, more concerned with the size of Zero than if whether or not Lucina, Chrom, or Robin might get killed on the spot. "No way we can stop that thing, not without...Kirby what are you doing?!" Cloud watched in horror (or pseudo horror, rather) as Kirby sucked up Link and spat him out, absorbing the Hylian's powers and gaining his bow, as well as his trademark hat. They're not exactly actual powers, but hey, they still count!
"Prepare to face the mighty power of Zero..." Marx said to Lucina, Chrom, and Robin, all of whom cowered in fear. "Say your last words, or forever hold your piece..."
All of a sudden an arrow was fired at Zero, striking the eyeball in the eye. Magalor and Marx got away at the nick of time as blood spurted out of Zero (not the first time this happened). The blood was about to land on Lucina and Chrom, but Robin saved the two by concealing them underneath his arms, with his back turned as the blood doused over the mage. He may be soaked in blood, but at least Lucina and Chrom are safe.
"We must salvage Zero before it's too late!" vowed Magalor. "To the mansion!" Magalor and Marx got inside the Galleon ship and flew off to the Smash Mansion, with Zero, his bleeding stopped for now, followed the ship.
"Now what are you three lads doing here?" Chrom asked when Link, Cloud, and Kirby =who obviously shot the arrow that struck Zero - ran up to the prince, seeing if he and the others were okay. "Don't tell me you were stalking us, that sounds very much unlike all of you!"
"For the record, it was Link who was doing the stalking, he forced me to come along, and apparently Kirby wanted to come along too," explained Cloud. "But that doesn't matter now - what does matter is that we get out of here! It's too dangerous!"
"What about the mansion, it will be in danger when those three foes arrive! We have yet to see what that eyeball is capable of doing..." We already saw what Zero is capable of...it can bleed profusely like it's nobody's business.
"Someone will take care of them, I'm sure of it." Cloud then thought over what he just said long and hard. "...you know what, let's hurry to the mansion before things get out of hand." So Cloud, Link, Kirby, and Chrom left the scene; Lucina tried to run, but Robin grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes, smiling romantically, before leaning to her face with his lips puckered out...
"Why are you two lollygaging for, we have no time for your foolishness!" Chrom came back to retrieve Lucina and Robin, ruining Robin's chance to kiss the girl of his dreams yet again.
Robin: One of these days Chrom, one of these days...
Luigi escorted Daisy to their home, and on the front lawn they saw the newly finished chalkboard sign; the very sight of it made Daisy happy.
"Told-a you they would build-a one," Luigi told his wife as they walked down the walkway and to their house. After Luigi opened the front door and led Daisy inside, they saw Mario seated on a couch with Pac-Man, the latter brawler doing his best to cheer up Mario after that brief episode with Fox and Falco by going over the wedding plan. Yuffie sat on the opposite couch, resting her eyes.
"Now that you've finalized your guest list, we can begin working on the wedding party!" Pac-Man said to Mario, who was frowning; Luigi and Daisy will later see why Mario is so salty. "Who do you want sitting next to you at the altar? Luigi? Bowser? Pauline?" Mario bothered not to answer, clearly he's still in a bad mood.
"Mario why do you look so mad, did someone upset you?" Daisy asked the plumber. Mario could at least answer this question.
"Go look-a in the nursery and see..." uttered Mario, his frown still apparent. So Luigi and Daisy walked over to the nursery...only to be stopped by Wario and Sonic, who sprung up out of nowhere and caught the couple off by surprise.
"Ah, Daisy, just the gal I...or we...needed to see!" exclaimed Wario. "Palutena told me that you weren't feeling so well, said you were having dizzy spells, and so I'm here to correct that and make you feel better again!"
"That's good Wario, but...I feel better now, the dizzy spells went away." Wario snapped his fingers in disgust when Daisy said this, having his perfect opportunity to please Palutena wasted away. "But thank you for caring about me!"
"Mario we have a major problem on our hands!" Master Hand appeared inside the home, confronting the plumber. "Some giant eyeball and his two lackeys just attacked the mansion, and everyone's now running to the basement so they can hide like the bunch of pansies they are! What's worse is that I don't have the insurance to...Mario are you even listening to me?!" Evidently Mario was still ticked off, too angry to even pay attention to Master Hand. Fox and Falco really upset this man...
"Why do you always expect Mario to handle this crap, why not let someone else take care of business for a change!" said Sonic. "That dumb eyeball is going down!" Sonic looked for something to take out Zero, the giant eyeball in question, and looked inside the nursery room, where Fox and Falco were painting the walls with neon red and green colors. Sonic looked at the room in awe, and Luigi and Daisy looked for themselves, both in awe as well.
Fox: Apparently Mario was against us using neon red colors...but we went ahead and used them anyways. I thought red was his favorite color?
"Quit looking all googly-eyed like that, we got a mansion to save!" Wario entered the nursery room and grabbed several cans of paint, giving one to Sonic, Luigi, and Daisy. "Let's go!" Wario led the three outside the home, while Falco went down the ladder to get some more paint with his paintbrush...only to find no cans to be found.
"Bro where did all our paint go?" Falco asked Fox, who looked around below him from the ladder and shrugged.
Outside, Zero the giant eyeball was firing lasers at the mansion (since it's the only thing he can do aside from bleeding, apparently), causing minor to medium damage to the establishment, while Magalor and Marx watched from Magalor's ship. Luigi, Daisy, Wario, and Sonic stood undeterred, with cans of paint in their hands.
"How are we gonna attack that thing, he's too high up in the air!" Sonic looked up at Zero, before the Galleon ship caught his attention. "And how are we gonna take out that ship?" Soon Link, Cloud, Kirby, Lucina, Robin, and Chrom arrived, and just in the nick of time.
"You're seriously going to stop that eyeball with paint?" Robin raised an eyebrow at the four with the paint cans. "Whose crazy idea was that?" Luigi, Daisy, and Sonic all pointed at Wario, who frowned when the fingers were pointed at him. "Oh, I see now, it all makes sense now..."
A crazy, but effective idea suddenly spurred in Kirby's brain, as the pink puffball grabbed the four cans of paint and did the near impossible...he sucked up the cans of paint, and then his stomach started acting all funny as he shook violently. Not a good sign, especially when you're someone like Kirby.
"I think he's gonna blow, everyone make a run for it!" Cloud exclaimed as everyone ran away from Kirby. The pink puffball continued to shake, like he was a maraca, and then opened his mouth, unleashing a rainbow-colored beam of paint at Zero; this beam lasted until Zero was brought down to the ground damaged. Although he was down, he certainly wasn't out, and Kirby's rainbow beam had ran out of juice, as the pink puffball fell back on the ground with a thud out of exhaustion. So who would take care of Zero once and for all? Luigi rose up to the challenge, as he defiantly marched towards the giant eyeball with his fists clenched.
"Luigi get back here, that thing could recover at any minute!" screamed Daisy, concerned for her husband's safety like any other concerned wife would. But like any other defiant husband, Luigi didn't listen, as he soon found himself standing but a few inches away from a nearly-depleted Zero.
"No one harms-a my friends and get away with-a it..." Luigi seethed at Zero, before unleashing his world-famous Super Jump Punch on the eyeball, initiating the "PING!" sound as he sent Zero flying upwards and towards the ship Magalor and Marx were on. Zero crashed into said ship, and flew through the sky with the ship like Team Rocket does, with him, Magalor, and Marx likely never to be seen again. The picture of Snake and Meryl slowly fell from the sky after Zero and company were defeated, and it landed in the hands of Luigi. Kirby, as well as those who had ran away, came over to Luigi, inspecting the picture in the plumber's hands.
Cloud: I had just opted to give the picture to Snake, not only because he deals with me better than he does with anyone else, but also I know how to deal with others when they're in a bad mood. Snake was probably in a bad mood with that picture missing, and maybe vented his frustration on a few unfortunate souls...
"Who in their right mind donates pictures to charity, that's like a blood donor giving urine to someone who needs blood, it makes no sense!" Snake went off on Corrin in the living room after everyone left the basement, making the prince of Nohr cower in fear. "What, you that the charity was for a good cause?!"
"The alien I gave the picture to said he would donate the picture to a charity that can stop belly button cancer!" explained Corrin. Snake's eye twitched when the prince said this, nobody can't possibly be that lacking in wisdom.
"BELLY BUTTON CANCER ISN'T EVEN A REAL CANCER, YOU STUPID IDIOTIC PIECE OF..."
"Hey Snake, I found this picture for you," Cloud tapped the former spy on the shoulder; Snake turned around and saw that Cloud had the picture. He grabbed the picture from the swordsman and gave him a manly hug. Snake hugging people? That's something you don't see every day.
"I've been looking all over for that picture! Thanks for finding it for me, I went through a lot of trouble looking for it!"
"That's great...now can you let me go?" Cloud eyed the living room, hoping no one would see. No one like Wario, who was speaking with his crush Palutena.
"I'm so proud of you Wario, checking on Daisy and making sure she was fine, I never would have expected that from you!" Palutena said to the fatso, grinning from ear to ear. "Always knew you were more than a greedy individual!" The goddess of light patted Wario on the head, and happily walked away, just when Sonic approached Wario.
"Must have taught you right, didn't I?" the hedgehog asked Wario, who gave a confident thumbs up. The lesson Sonic gave may have been weird on many levels, but somehow it was still effective.
"So what do you think?" Fox and Falco asked Luigi and Daisy after they were finished painting the nursery room...in neon red and green colors. Mario was with the married couple, expecting them to say no and put the Star Fox pilots on blast, but to his surprise...
"We love-a it!" gleamed Luigi, and Daisy happily shook her head in agreement. Mario looked on with his mouth agape as Fox and Falco cheered and exchanged high fives. Whatever happened to using regular colors, why does everything have to be neon these days?
Mario: Hmph, no matter if Luigi and-a Daisy like how the nursery room-a looks like...coloring the room green-a would have worked-a SO much better.
"So did you have a fun time hiking today?" Robin asked Lucina in the living room of Luigi's home, while Yuffie continued to rest her eyes. Though it may seem like she's actually taking a nap...
"Except for that whole eyeball thing...yeah, I had a pretty fun time..." smiled Lucina.
"Well I'm glad to hear that." Robin looked around, making sure nobody was looking. "And since we're both alone - save for Yuffie who's sleeping - I must get something off of my chest..."
And it finally happened: Robin drew closer to Lucina, and his lips met hers, and soon enough, the two were kissing on the couch, with no Chrom to ruin the moment in some manner or fashion...and Link, who was watching from a window outside, was witnessing the entire thing. Stinking pervert...
"Heh heh heh, I knew they would be a couple..." Link snickered; unbeknownst to him, his girlfriend Zelda stood behind him, with her arms folded.
"Link what is wrong with you?!" the princess grabbed Link and dragged him away. "Thought I told you to stop spying on Lucina and Robin, we've already discussed this on Monday..."
At least Link is the only known individual to have seen Lucina and Robin kiss - not that many people can claim that distinction.
