Author's Note:
Lot of guest reviews to answer this time around, first anonymous review:
"Can you do one [chapter] where bowser sits on sonic or where they are stuck together"
Someone must be very interested in Sonic and Bowser interacting with one another...I can do a chapter where the two are stuck together. Don't know if I'll do one where Bowser sits on Sonic...that would be weird. Second anonymous review:
"I don't know if I'm bothering you (really sorry if I am) but I have this weird idea in my mind... Like what if Mario forces a bunch of dudes in the mansion to form some sort of K-pop boy band (cuz he saw how phenomenal they have become recently) or something and set up some concert to raise funds for the mansion (but also partly for his wedding lol)? Lol wat lol
"Also, I was that kid who recommended the Mario and Zelda cartoon thing... Really now, thanks for doing it, and I've really been enjoying this fanfic! Keep up the good work!"
Glad that you enjoyed Mario and Link reacting to the Super Mario Bros Super Show and that cringeworthy Legend of Zelda cartoon. Funny thing is, I've had the idea of Mario starting a k-pop boy band for the longest now, only problem is deciding on who the members would be.
"I also forgot to mention that Jin (BTS) is obsessed with Mario lol
/OH GOD I CANT BELIEVE IM FORCING KPOP DOWN YOUR THROAT IM SORRY"
No it's perfectly fine...my two older sisters love k-pop and I've been pretty "exposed" to the genre over the years (it's gotten to the point when I've now developed a crush of Sooyong, from Girls Generation), so it's all good. Last anonymous review:
"I like this fanfic. Can u make an episode where the chain chomps run loose terrorizing the smashers and include the tekken crew visit heihachi."
Frankly I might put both suggestions on hold, especially the second one. Might hold off visits from video game characters from different franchises, who knows. Now we have someone named Shadow fan, with a character suggestion:
"Needs more Shadow!"
Shadow the Hedgehog, eh? The original plan was to have just Amy Rose appear as a recurring character from the Sonic franchise, but I suppose I can make some room for Shadow. Next up is Shadow 123456:
"Needs more Shadow!"
Hold up, is this the same person as Shadow fan? Man, you folks are so persistent...not that it's a bad thing or anything. Lastly we have Darth Sigma 86, who I contacted with via private messaging:
"I think I have three more Ideas for you.(they can be separate,and I can wait)
1:Snake is still in Jail ( since the prison he is in is unknown, let's just say that he is in the prison Island from sonic Adventure 2)and Bayonetta is bored to death (and lonely)with no roommate to flirt and heard that Prison Island's guard are the elite of the elite on their out of boredom (loneliness)and the thrill for a challenge she decides to make a rescue operation to get snake out of there and back to the mansion with immunity (thanks to Master Hand).But she will be accompanied by the dynamic duo of Pit and Kirby in this Mission (XD)
2:Samus and Wolf coincidentally lost a bet to their best friends and they are doomed to work together to this time create a Anime OVA of comedy and cuteness (the anger in Samus's face XD)
3:Marth decides to create a Romance Club in the Mansion to teach the ways on how to get a lady to like you,and his first 4 students are none other than:
Captain Falcon,Chrom,Ganondorf and Wario.
So...pretty cool huh?"
First idea sounds great, second idea has some potential, and the third idea...just splendid. I haven't used Marth that much ever since Luigi's wedding, so hopefully I can put the third idea into action soon.
Episode 44: Heroism
Mr. Game and Watch has always been underappreciated as a housekeeper of the Smash Mansion. This 2-D man that we all know and love could be considered a Mr. Do-It-All - he cleans the mansion floors, keeps the kitchen tidy, dusts off the windows, and everything a housekeeper was meant to do, and then some.
Yet none of the brawlers don't seem to commend him for his work; whenever they see Mr. Game and Watch cleaning away in the bathroom, they don't say, "Wow Mr. Game and Watch, you're such a great housekeeper, perhaps the housekeeping GOAT, keep up the good work!" (Okay, so they wouldn't call him the housekeeping GOAT, but it would make his job performance even better.) All the 2-D man receives instead of an encouraging remark would a mere smile or grin.
But today, Mr. Game and Watch would have his work cut out for him. With Mario travelling with Pac-Man to pay Cilan (the man who'll bake the wedding cake with his brothers) a visit, Master Hand needed someone to take over the reigns of the famous plumber while he was away - and he had one person in mind. The creator of the Smash Universe would come across Mr. Game and Watch in the hallway, dusting a painting of Ganondorf.
"Ah, Mr. Game and Watch, just the guy I needed to see!" Master Hand approached the 2-D man, startling him. "Not sure if you know about this already, but Mario went with Pac-Man to see the man who'll be baking the wedding cake for the wedding, Cilan. With Mario's absence, I need someone to take his place while he's away - and that someone is you!" Mr. Game and Watch looked shocked as he pointed at himself, wondering why him of all people was chosen. "Normally I would select Luigi to fill the role, but he's a man in love, and I can't disturb him by any means!"
Master Hand: Mario had told me that he was leaving the mansion on a very short notice - he likely told me his decision late on purpose, because he fears me that much. But I don't blame him for thinking that way, I can be a very frightening being at times, sometimes I even frighten myself!
"Now, now, please contain your excitement, I know you're more than excited about being the temporary man of the mansion," Master Hand said to Mr. Game and Watch, still very much confused about the proposition proposed to him. He has never been in charge of anything, so to be in charge of close to a hundred people? Sounds like a daunting task for the 2-D man, but no task is too daunting for him. "But I know that you can do the job - just make sure everything is decent and in order, and that everyone is content, and that's pretty much it." So it's like a housekeeping job, except you have to be a people person and relate with the mansion residents. "If you need anything, ring that bell of yours and let Isabelle know. I'm about to go check on Crazy Hand, so I expect the mansion to be unchanged and in one piece by the time I return. Don't let me down!"
Master Hand disappeared, going to Crazy Hand's home and see if that five-fingered loon has been keeping himself sane, or at the very least trying to keep himself sane. Knowing Crazy Hand, it's difficult for him to act normal, even for a single nanosecond.
With Mario gone, and Master Hand gone as well, Mr. Game and Watch knew what to do - he occupied Master Hand's room, doing things like bouncing on his bed, taking care of some important tasks, but mostly bouncing on the bed like a little child. You'd do the same thing if Master Hand wasn't in his room.
"Hello Mr. Game and Watch, enjoying your time as the man of the mansion?" Isabelle asked as he entered the room, only to see the 2-D man bouncing on top of Master Hand's bed. "...i'll take your current actions as a definite yes! However, your job isn't all fun, there's some responsibilities you have to take care of. Why don't you come with me and we'll go through the mansion and see what you're up against?"
So Mr. Game and Watch hopped off of the bed and followed Isabelle, eager to see what responsibilities he'll have to deal with...
...and Pit being an utter fool certainly must not be one of them. But alas, it is, as Isabelle showed Mr. Game and Watch the angel in the bathroom, with the Black Knight pulling a plunger off of his face. We're not even going to delve into how this instance came to fruition.
"THE PLUNGER IS EATING MY FACE!" Pit cried as the Black Knight tried his best to pry the plunger off of the angel's face, but to no avail. "I CAN'T SEE A SINGLE THING, I MUST BE GOING BLIND! I DON'T WANNA END UP LOOKING LIKE A NERD!" In that case, what does that make someone like Bayonetta?
Black Knight: Pit getting his face stuck inside a plunger hasn't been the first time of such an instance...usually whenever he unclogs the toilet, he checks underneath the plunger for any "tiny extraterrestrials" that might be living inside the plunger...and you probably know what happens after that. You would think that Pit would have realized that there's no such thing as the "plunger people", as he would call these imaginary folks, living in the plunger, but I'm very confident that kid will write a publicized book on his findings, whenever they may come.
"Stay still Pit, just a few more tugs and..." the Black Knight pulled on the plunger handle multiple times, before getting the plunger off of Pit's face. "There we go!" Pit fell backwards and landed in the bathroom tub, rubbing his now sore posterior. "You didn't hurt yourself, did you? Ah well, that's what you get for your silly shenanigans."
"As you can see, Pit isn't exactly the brightest person there is, so he has to be kept in check," Isabelle explained to Mr. Game and Watch as the 2-D man took the plunger from the Black Knight. "He may more of a hassle later on throughout the day, but you're the man of the mansion, so you won't have a problem with..."
"YOU'RE the man of the mansion?" the Black Knight exclaimed at Mr. Game and Watch. "Is Mario out of town or something?" The knight then looked towards Isabelle, who nodded her head. "In that case, Mr. GW, why not a little proposition?"
"Your proposition will have to wait until later, Black Knight, I'm going over Mr. Game and Watch's role during Mario's and Master Hand's absence. Master Hand went off to see Crazy Hand, in case you were wondering. Ready to go, Mr. Game and Watch?" The 2-D man followed Isabelle out of the bathroom, as the Black Knight looked on, feeling saddened.
Isabelle took Mr. Game and Watch upstairs to the fifth floor of the mansion, where Star Records lie. The two arrived at the Star Records room, where Fox and Falco were doing Fox and Falco things, like doing parkour indoors.
"PARKOUR!" Fox shouted out at the top of his lungs as he jumped on a wall and jumped right off, thinking he's the next Naruto Uzumaki or something. Falco did some parkour too, getting on a table and sliding across, just to get to the other side. That's some very amateur parkour right there.
"You gettin' this on camera, Doc Louis?" Falco asked the boxing trainer as he and Fox continued to do parkour throughout the room. Doc Louis was indeed filming Fox and Falco on a digital camera...and was also filming himself eating chocolate. Someone should tell him that "Mukbang" isn't that huge in the Americas.
"Sure am Falco, my man, this stuff is gonna go viral in a week!" exclaimed Doc. With a combination of a fox and bird doing what they believe is parkour, and an overweight black man nonchalantly eating chocolate, anything is possible these days on the interwebs.
Fox: Parkour is not an easy thing to do in itself - it involves maneuvering while using a wide variety of ninja-like tactics.
Falco: In order to gain the full scope of parkour, we had to ask a certain ninja to give us a few pointers, and she hesitantly obliged...
Sheik: *scratching the back of her head* Um, yeah, Fox and Falco apparently told me that they were doing parkour, and they wanted to know how to "move like a ninja", which they feel is what parkour is all about - although they're entirely wrong. There's not really that much ninja moves required, you just have to get from Point A to Point B as creatively as possible, then you're doing parkour. So if Fox and Falco can successfully get from Point A (their own delusions) to Point B (the emergency room) with as many moves required, then technically they're doing it right...and strangely enough, I wish them the best in their parkour endeavors.
"I want you also to keep a close eye out for Fox and Falco, as they exhibit their...unique mannerisms," Isabelle explained to Mr. Game and Watch as she and the 2-D man watched the Star Fox pilots continue to do their thing, a couple of so moves from reaching Point B - and you already know what Point B is. "You can let me know if they seriously hurt themselves, the mansion's house phone as 9-1-1 on its speed dial." Even isabelle knows the pilots will eventually reach Point B in due time.
"Hey Isabelle, over here!" Fox called out to the shih tzu, though he ignored him, refusing to follow up the pilot. "Hey Isabelle, come watch this! You seeing this Isabelle?" Isabelle would end up surrendering to Fox, sighing as she looked at the fox's way. "Check this out!" Fox jumped off of Doc Louis and attempted to do a backflip, only to fail and fall face-first onto the floor. Didn't take him that long to reach Point B, though his injury may not be to the degree in which he might have to be sent to the ER.
"Now that's some mighty fine entertainment right there!" Doc Louis filmed Falco tending to his best friend. "People are suckers for others getting hurt, on accident or on purpose!" Ain't no point in arguing with that, what Doc said has been proven on a very timely basis.
"This would be a great time to leave..." Isabelle walked Mr. Game and Watch out of the room as Fox slowly got up from the floor, still reeling from the pain.
After showing Mr. Game and Watch the ropes of Mario's role at the mansion, like the bills, resident morale, and even the stun gun Mario strangely keeps tucked underneath his pillow, Isabelle felt as if Mr. Game and Watch would be fine alone. Which allowed the 2-D man to continue bouncing on Master Hand's bed in the giant hand's room. But Isabelle couldn't help but feel as if she was forgetting something...
"There's someone else I want you to be on the lookout for, but I just can't remember their name..." the shih tzu stroked her chin as she tried to formulate the name in her head. Just then, Sonic entered the room eating a chili dog, and seeing Mr. Game and Watch bouncing on the bed, and Master Hand nowhere to be seen, the hedgehog started thinking, like Isabelle, but in a more devious manner...
"So Mr. Game and Watch, you're currently the man of the mansion, right?" Sonic asked the 2-D, as he bounced his cares away; the hedgehog perceived Mr. Game and Watch's continuous bouncing as a yes. "You wouldn't mind if I release the Smash Balls from the storage room?" Mr. Game and Watch bounced... "What about the Spring Mushrooms?" ...and he bounced... "Or even the Double Cherries?" ...and he bounced... "And the Mr. Saturns?" ...and he bounced. "Alright man, thanks a bunch!" Sonic gave Mr. Game and Watch a thumbs up as he exited the room, grinning to himself.
Sonic: Master Hand specifically told us that we're not allowed to go inside the storage room, as long as he's around. With him taking a leave from the mansion, that means we (or in other words, I) can enter the storage room anytime we want! But hey, I'm just following what he said...
"Ah well, the name will come to me eventually!" smiled Isabelle as she walked away, only to step on a smudge of chili lying on the floor. Of course the chili came from Sonic, who's obsessed with chili dogs, and that's when the shih tzu remembered. "Oh, I was supposed to remind you about Sonic! But he already came inside the room while I was thinking, so it might be too late..." Too late for what?"
Under the "consent" of Mr. Game and Watch, Sonic released the Smash Balls, Spring Mushrooms, Double Cherries, and Mr. Saturns from the storage room, and littered them throughout the mansion, hoping that the brawlers would use them to some extent. Wario would happen to find a Smash Ball bouncing about in his room, while Ashley was making potions.
"I wouldn't hit that Smash Ball if I were you, it might be a trap," advised Ashley, as red added some ingredients into the young witch's goblet. "I mean, what are the chances you even see a Smash Ball inside the mansion?" Wario didn't even listen to Ashley, he was just looking at that Smash Ball with greedy eyes, like it's his duty to hit it or else the world would come to an end.
"Well now's the time for me to take risks!" Wario leaped from his bed and punched the Smash Ball, and just like that, he turned into Wario-Man, all without having to eat a bite of garlic. "Oh yeah, Wario-Man is back in business baby!"
"Wario-Man? That's your superhero name? You're a millionaire playboy like Tony Stark, and yet your superhero name is Wario-Man? Who came up with that, Mona?" Wario gritted his teeth at Ashley, but calmed himself down. He should know better than to harm a little child, especially as a superhero persona.
"I shall deal with you later, right now I need to devise a scenario that would involve me saving someone and charm Palutena!" Wario-Man departed from the room, as Ashley and Red looked at one another, trying to figure out why a woman like Palutena would want a low-standard man like Wario. As Wario-Man walked through the mansion, he encountered Link, speaking with Ike. The Hylian was holding a Double Cherry in his hands, and once he saw eyes on the fruit, he instantly knew the item came from the Mario universe, the only universe in which food items like mushrooms have eyes.
Link: *holds up Double Cherry* Found this peculiar fruit while I was in the kitchen. I would want to sample it, but I don't wanna taste anything that has eyes on it...eyes that blink at you... *shudders* That's why I'm gonna ask the others if eating this would be a grand idea.
"Nah, I wouldn't eat that thing if I were you, that kind of stuff seems to be reserved for Mario only," Cloud offered his take. "Also, any fruit that big should not be trusted by any means. That's why I don't eat pumpkins, to this very day. It's just a minor pet peeve of mine." Yes, little children, pumpkin is deemed a fruit, go online and do some research for yourself if you can't accept it.
"Hey boys, care to help an honest man out?" Wario-Man approached Link and Cloud, and both swordsmen wanted to laugh at Wario. Since when was Wario ever an "honest man", and how can he possibly be one when he's greedy as heck? "Quit it, I know you both want to point and laugh at me, but hear me out! Not sure if you dudes know this...but I'm in made love with Palutena, I just don't know why! I might be the one for her, and she might be the one for me!"
"I dunno Wario, Palutena might have a thing for Hades," Link joked around, although he had told a pretty bad joke. And bad jokes are worthy of a slap to the back of your head, courtesy of Cloud. "But in all seriousness, I don't think you would have a strong chance to fully win Palutena's heart..."
"You don't understand, I have done everything and more to win over Palutena! I buy her gifts, and I make her happy! What do you man that I don't have a strong chance to fully win Palutena's heart?!"
"What Link is trying to say is, you can't win over Palutena for good unless you go the extra limit," clarified Cloud. "Buying gifts and making her happy is good and all, but me and Link can do what you're doing, and still make Palutena content. You'll have to do something extraordinary to completely sway Palutena over to your side."
"Which is why I will require the help of you guys...with me in my Wario-Man persona, I was thinking that I can do some sort of superhero scenario that can charm Palutena, and you can be a part of it! So how about it?" At first, Link and Cloud wanted to decline the offer, but Wario is already proving to be somewhat desperate. Turning him down wouldn't be the wisest thing to do.
"Watch out!" Diddy Kong's voice was heard, and suddenly, the spidermonkey came bursting through a wall on his Rocketbarrel Pack, before flying into another one. Evidently he had found a Smash Ball and used his Final Smash, granting him his trusty jetpack - which may have malfunctioned terribly.
"And there you have it, you got yourself the perfect apple strudel!" Dunban complimented his little sister Fiora after the Homs helped her make some apple strudel in the kitchen. "It sure does look yummy, I could take a huge helping of it!" Great, now he's being all politically correct; for all we know, that apple strudel just might be the worst strudel ever baked, and Dunban wasted his poor sister's talent, and her time.
Dunban: Fiora said that she wanted to be able to cook when she and Shulk get married and go off to some faraway land, so I'm starting my sister off early so she won't be a noob in the kitchen. Can't afford her to blow up the kitchen, like Peach tends to do from time to time...yet she wields a frying pan in most of her Smash matches. But don't talk about Peach blowing up things in the kitchen with Mario around, he'll defend that woman like how Donald Trump defends himself from sexual assault allegations...shoot, I think I just poked fun at Donald Trump - if he were to see this, would he call me out and call the election "rigged", similar to what he did with Saturday Night Live?
"You don't have to be so nice, Dunban, though I do appreciate the kind words," smiled Fiora; even she thinks her brother is being too politically correct. "I'm sure Shulk will enjoy this strudel, given how much effort I put into it..."
"Parkour, parkour, PARKOUR!" Fox ran inside the kitchen, doing his parkour thing - doing flips, jumping off of walls, opening and closing the microwave, etc. "I love me some parkour!" Fox accidentally kicked Fiora's apple strudel, sending the pastry treat to the floor. Fiora slowly began to tear up as Falco ran inside the kitchen to do some "parkour", before getting on top of Dunban and riding atop of him like a horse. Doc Louis filmed the avian pilot doing this, in-between filming himself eating chocolate.
"Wooo, parkour!" Falco shouted as he raised his fist in the air like a drunkard. Did he and Fox have a couple of drinks before doing their parkour endeavors?
"Get off of me, I say!" Dunban angrily yelled at Falco, and the pilot, not wanting anything to do with the Homs (never overlook a man who has only one working arm), listened to the command as he got off his back. Dunban stood up and dusted himself off, and saw Fiora in tears, crying over the fact that his apple strudel is on the floor and contaminated forever. "Oh, Fiora, I'm so sorry about what happened to your strudel, I'll ensure that it won't happen again!" The Homs consoled his little sister, hugging her real tight.
"Let's go do some parkour outside in the backyard!" exclaimed Fox, to which Falco agreed to. The two pilots headed out the back door and to the backyard; Doc Louis huffed and and he puffed as he followed the pilots outside. And just then...
"Yo, have you two seen Doc Louis anywhere?" Falco entered the kitchen with Fox, as Fiora and Dunban looked up with confused looks. "He's been missing, and we can't possibly film our parkour stuff without him." Fox and Falco had ran outside to do some more parkour, so how did they get back inside in less then ten seconds...?
"Didn't you boys...go outside to do some parkour?" Dunban raised an eyebrow. "I mean, you destroyed my sister's apple strudel, and then you rode on top of me like I'm a horse! Don't you boys have no shame?"
"Pfft, who are you trying to kid, that wasn't us, that must have been our clones!" Once he realized what he had just said, Falco covered his beak. He had just spilled the beans, and he and Fox are about to find themselves in a heap of trouble.
Fox: Like the old saying goes, two's company, three's a crowd...three's a crowd, four's a mob! Everyone loves mobs, why do you think flash mobs were a thing? Why do you think so many people love Scarface?
Falco: Fox and I ate some cherries that we found in the hallway, and now we have created clones...of ourselves! You can never go wrong with two Foxes and two Falcos in the same mansion!
Samus: *from afar* SAID NO ONE EVER!
Falco: Yikes, who peed in her cereal this morning?
Fox: *snickering* Her presumed boyfriend Anthony Higgs, from the Galactic Federation...
Samus: DON'T THINK I HEARD THAT FOX, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT NOW!
Fox: *gulps in fear*
"You created clones...and they're running about causing mayhem everywhere they go?" questioned Dunban. Making clones is definitely something Fox and Falco would attempt to do, so the Homs is hardly surprised. "Have any of you realized the trouble you caused?!"
"Awfully hard for us to realize what 'trouble' we caused when we haven't seen any trouble to begin with..." remarked Fox. "Pretty sure you're just overreacting, it's never great to overreact to every little thing. Look at what it did to that First Take show on ESPN."
"Your stupid clone ruined my apple strudel," Fiora pointed at the apple strudel on the floor. Poor girl worked long and hard on that treat, and Fox's clone ruined it...would be horrible for the Homs to start back from square one. "It was perhaps the best thing I've made...and it's ruined."
"Well it's not like you're a master chef like Rachel Ray anyways." Fox should have known better than to say that, especially around Dunban, but he knew just what to do to make it up to Fiora: "Why don't we go look for our clones and get rid of them for you, and to make it up to you, Falco and I will assist you in making another apple strudel! How about it, sounds great?"
"Hey, what about me, that Falco clone practically rode on top of me like a horse!" complained Dunban. And the Star Fox pilots should care because...?
"...he can owe you an apology and let bygones be bygones. No harm done whatsoever."
"So many Mr. Saturns in one mansion...how very troublesome," said Alph, carrying a bunch of Mr. Saturns in his hands. He had found a plethora of this species lurking about the mansion, finding them everywhere - in the living room, inside the toilet, on top of a shelf, and strangely enough, underneath Bowser's armpits. No point in delving into the reason behind that. "Master Hand will take care of this epidemic swiftly."
The young astronaut would be in for a rather rude awakening, when he opened the door to Master Hand's room, and instead of Master Hand...Alph saw Mr. Game and Watch, still bouncing on the giant hand's bed. You'd think that the 2-D man would run out of breath right about now, but it's hard to tell if the man even has a fully functioning respiratory system.
Isabelle: Mr. Game and Watch has never alerted me with the ringing of his bell...that could mean that everything has been going well so far with him as the man of the mansion! Peace and quiet, and solitude...three things I never would have expected inside the Smash Mansion!
"BAD DAY, BAD DAY, BAD DAY!" Takamaru screamed at the top of his lungs as he run from a horde of Mr. Saturns, channeling his inner Jackie Chan (but which one), running down the halls like a madman. Alph didn't even listen to the chaos that transpired behind him - his eyes were fixated on Mr. Game and Watch, and at the same time, he was confused about the whereabouts of Master Hand. He knew Mario would be gone for the day, but Master Hand too?! What is the meaning of all this madness?
"M-M-Master Hand...he's supposed to be here...keeping his post...maintaining the mansion...ensuring everything is in order..." Alph placed the Mr. Saturns on the floor and looked about, feeling even more confused. "Where could he have gone?"
"You're looking for Master Hand too?" Toon Link entered Master Hand's room to ask Alph. "I've been looking for him for the longest now - thought he would be in the storage room, but he wasn't there. Maybe he went out to take care of some business?"
"Preposterous, Master Hand is still under house arrest for at least another month! He'll have a month or two added to his current sentence if he's guilty of leaving the mansion!" Master Hand don't care - according to him, he's above the legal system. "Or even worse...he'll end up in prison!" And Master Hand would be the only hand being to ever receive such a fate.
"Well that's his fault, not ours. He wants to do whatever he wants, and somewhere down the road he'll pay the ultimate price for his actions." Toon Link looked over at Mr. Game and Watch, still bouncing on the bed. "I guess Mr. GW is the man of the mansion...must be someway to get his attention."
Toon Link would find just the object required to gain the 2-D man's attention - the 2-D bell resting atop Master Hand's dresser (which is just as useless as the giant hand's bed). The young Hylian grabbed the bell and rung it, grabbing Mr. Game and Watch's attention as the 2-D man stopped bouncing off the bed and went to go confront Toon Link. All good things must come to an end...
"Hey Mr. Game and Watch, sorry I had to disturb you, but we have a major problem on our hands," Toon Link said to the 2-D man, pointing at Alph and the Mr. Saturns flanking the astronaut. "A bunch of Mr. Saturns have been released, and they're practically taking over the mansion...somewhat. They're not that huge of a threat, but they still need to be taken care of regardless...what's wrong Mr. Game and Watch?" Toon Link suddenly noticed that Mr. Game and Watch had his face in his hands, a state in which Toon Link nor Alph have never seen before.
Alph: In all honesty, these Mr. Saturns aren't so bad...except for the fact that they speak their own alien language. The only English words they say are "boing", "ding", and "zoom", at the end of their sentences. They would be great for commentary on funny videos, if you ask me - might as well give Tom Bergeron a call!
"I think Mr. Game and Watch is a little disappointed, it seems like," inferred Alph. "The pressure and expectations of ruling the entire mansion must be getting to him." Either that, or there could be an underlying reason...
"I'm here!" Isabelle appeared, standing at the doorway. "Good thing you called, Mr. Game and Watch, a lot of stuff has transpired as of late - Diddy Kong's Rocketbarrel Pack has gone out of control, Fox and Falco are rumored to have clones running about, and to make matters worse...why do you look like that?" Isabelle sensed that Mr. Game and Watch was a little down, and began to wonder what the problem may be.
"We were wondering the same thing, Isabelle," replied Toon Link. "I had told Mr. GW about the Mr. Saturn crisis...and then he did the face in his hands thing. He's supposed to be a master housekeeper, no problem should be getting in his way!"
"No problem except for..." Isabelle pondered, until shock overcame her. "Why of course, this was all Sonic's doing! He had came in here without me knowing and asked Mr. Game and Watch if he could release certain items from the storage room, and he was under the assumption Mr. Game and Watch said yes! That may explain the reason why he's...he's..."
"Look at me Tails, I'm Super Saiyan!" Sonic said to Tails in his Super Sonic state, inside his room. "Goku ain't got nothin' on me!" As you might believe, Sonic achieved this state thanks to a Smash Ball he caught in his grasp once he released several Smash Balls from the storage room.
"Dare ya to find a bunch of local Dragon Ball Z nerds and tell them that," replied Tails, trying his best to ignore Sonic while he did his work at the desk. "They won't let you hear the end of it..."
"Good thinking Tails, I should go find some DBZ fans and trigger them, all on the spot!" Sonic flew out of the open window in the room...before flying back in. "Gotta grab me a chili dog first!" Can't offend anime fanboys on an empty stomach!
Sonic flew down the hall, flaunting his power, speed, and whatever else Sonic thinks makes him look legit in his Super Sonic state, when all of a sudden...
"SONIC I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU!" Viridi screeched, and Sonic came to a sudden halt when he found the goddess of nature glaring at him, her arms crossed. Viridi's boyfriend, Pit, was experiencing a problem - a problem that involved the angel coiled in a giant spring, bouncing about. The mighty works of a Spring Mushroom.
Viridi: Pit had found this spring-like mushroom in the gardens, while I was watering the flowers. Told him not to go anywhere near the mushroom, but as I have known from experience, Pit doesn't learn, so he ate the mushroom and got stuck inside...a spring.
Pit: *bouncing in the background* Viridi I can't stop bouncing, and my head is starting to hurt! Call 9-1-1 quick, I don't have 9-1-1's number saved to my cellphone! Yet Lady Palutena always tells me to do so...
Viridi: Word has it that Sonic was responsible for releasing the Spring Mushrooms out of the storage room with a few other items; Roy said that he witnessed Sonic doing such a thing. Now I know whom I must speak with...
"Thanks to you releasing those stupid Spring Mushrooms from the storage room, my poor Pit ate one and is now stuck inside a spring!" Viridi gave the diagnosis of her problem to Sonic, who honestly didn't give a single crap whatsoever. "What's worse is that he can't do anything to stop bouncing!"
"Seriously though Viridi, you really gotta call 9-1-1, I don't know who they are or where they live at or what they look like, but Lady Palutena said you should always call them whenever in a dire situation!" exclaimed, still bouncing. He's too dumb to realize that 9-1-1 is not a person, but an emergency dial people dial in times of crisis. "Now would be the great time to do just that!"
"First of all, I didn't get Pit in that spring state, that was his doing and you should have expected less from him," Sonic offered his rather blunt take, though his take would be even more blunt. "Secondly, why is Pit still your boyfriend, do you have low standards for significant others or something? Pit is a living, breathing flesh form of nicotine, you oughta quit him while you can before it's too late!" Yikes, Sonic is cutting in deep, real deep!
"Don't you say such things about my precious Pit...you know what, I don't need your help, I'll just go ask Lady Palutena and see if she can help out Pit! Good day!" Viridi quickly turned around, her nose in the air, as she walked away from Sonic.
"Wait up for me Viridi, don't leave me behind!" Pit bounced after his girlfriend. "Are you gonna call 9-1-1 yet, hope they're not busy!" Oh, when will this kid ever learn...
"Your loss!" Sonic called out to Viridi before he flew away to fetch a chili dog. After the hedgehog left, Diddy Kong flew through the walls, his Rocketbarrel Pack still malfunctioning. That spidermonkey might inadvertently hurt someone with that jetpack of his.
"Glad that you all could make it here!" Wario-Man grinned to the group of Link, Cloud, Zelda, and Aerith, with his hands on his hips. "I have devised a seemingly fail-proof plan that will ultimately lead to me winning over Palutena's heart, and securing her as my girlfriend!"
"We seriously got paid seventy-five dollars just to partake in this stupid crap?" Zelda whispered to Link, hoping Wario-Man wouldn't detect her. "I have far more important matters to do...matters that have a more realistic end goal."
"If you won't want the money Wario bribed you with, then you can always give it to me," Link slyly grinned; after thinking over this offer for a short while, Zelda returned to face Wario-Man; and Link held his head down in sadness. It was worth a shot...
Link: So the gist of the plan is (at least according to what Wario had told me beforehand), "Wario-Man" as that fatso calls himself will save Zelda and Aerith from the "perils of danger", and he expects Palutena to see him saving both girls and win her over, just like that. What's so wrong with Wario saving two men instead, like me and Cloud?
Cloud: *conspicuously sitting next to Link, as camera pans out* You're telling me you're comfortable with the idea of Wario holding the both of us in his arms?
Link: Hey, Wario's a pretty strong guy with a very short stature, I don't mind... *pauses* ...wasn't he picking his nose as he was giving us the gist of his plan?
Cloud: *nods his head with a smirk*
"Here's how the plan will go..." Wario-Man started off, pointing to the top of the mansion. "Zelda, Aerith, you lovely ladies will be on the roof of the mansion, doing stuff like...um...dusting off the glitter or something! Mega Man told me about some glitter on top of the mansion, stupid fallacy if you ask me...Once I give you two the cue, you'll 'accidentally' fall off the roof, and that's when I come and save you two from immediate death! Sounds great, don't it?"
"Surely there must be a plan B, in the event me or Zelda were to fall and die inadvertently," said Aerith; she's more concerned about the possibility of her and Zelda dying than the fact some bum like Wario-Man is supposed to save her.
"Oh, you will be just fine, nothing for you to worry about..." Wario-Man then turned to Link and Cloud, waiting patiently to see what role they'll play in Wario-Man's master plan. "Link, Cloud, when I'm ready, I want you to bring Palutena outside, so she can see me save Zelda and Aerith from danger!" Most people would be generally content with that role, but Link and Cloud weren't so happy.
"That's it, that's all we have to do, just alert Palutena?" frowned Cloud. He was expecting a lot more than just telling someone's crush that the person that likes them is about to do something heroic. "You practically begged Link and I to follow through with your plan, and that's all we get, to bring Palutena outside?!"
"Take what you get bub, you agreed to the plan and now you must stick with it! Zelda and Aerith, now would be the time for you to go up to the top of the mansion. Wait up there and keep yourselves busy until I tell you it's time! Now if you excuse me, I have to refine my superhero skills..." Wario-Man walked away, doing some sort of pimp walk. Superheroes don't typically do pimp walks - they walk with a sense of urgency, and with determination, and other heroic things - so Wario-Man must be the first of his kind in this realm of superhero-ness.
"He didn't even give us a cue for when we're supposed to fetch Palutena..." said Link. "Starting to regret following up Wario now..."
"Well you oughta get Palutena very soon, otherwise Wario won't let you hear the end of it," Zelda said to Link, as she and Aerith went to head up to the top of the mansion. Certainly there must be something up there for the ladies to do...like cleaning off the glitter, if there is any.
"Parkour is love, parkour is life!" Clone Fox cheered as he and Clone Falco bounced off of King Dedede's belly, as the penguin rested in the middle of the arcade room. The clone pilots would bounce off of Dedede's stomach, then jump off of a wall, then bounce off of Dedede's stomach, then jump off of the wall, then bounce off of Dedede's stomach...so forth and so on. Because just like Clone Fox had said, "parkour is "life"...and apparently King Dedede is perfectly fine with the clones bouncing off of him.
King Dedede: Don't know why, but I feel like Fox and Falco have both changed my overall perception of this thing called parkour. At first, I thought parkour was just about a bunch of white nerds wearing typical skateboard attire attempting to make themselves look cool in front of their peers, but Fox and Falco have proved to be that parkour can actually be fun, when you put your heart and mind to it! Not that the white kids who do parkour don't put their heart and mind to what they're doing and have fun at the same time, but they're always angry and frowning! Fox and Falco at least know how to smile!
"They're doing this parkour thing so wrong..." Falco shook his head as he and Fox watched their clones do "parkour" with King Dedede, while Doc Louis filmed the clones thinking they're the real deal. Dunban and Fiora were watching with the real Star Fox pilots from afar, and Shulk was with the four, after Fiora had told him the synopsis of the entire situation.
"Like doing back-flips off the wall and jumping on and off the wall is real parkour..." murmured Shulk, who had seen the real Star Fox pilots' interesting parkour techniques previously in the day. "If we're gonna dispose of the clones, then we'll need a diversion to distract them, so we can capture them and expel of them for good."
"How are we going to defeat the clones, it's not like we can kill them or anything," stated Fiora. "We may not know if doing so would drastically affect Fox and Falco in any way!" Fox McCloud dying as a sacrifice in order to dispose of his clone? His girlfriend Krystal would never be able to handle the loss of her boyfriend. And Wolf will always be waiting for the most opportune moment to strike...
"I had told Luigi about the current situation, and he said that the only way the clones can go away is if they receive physical harm," explained Dunban. "He never said if the damage done to the clones would harm Fox and Falco, but it's worth a shot..."
"It's a shot worth taking," said Fox, taking out his Blaster. He's not afraid to take any chances whatsoever. "Pretty soon our clones are gonna destroy our credibility, and me nor Falco can have that!" Fox fired at the clones, and he missed terribly. Clone Fox and Clone Falco stopped bouncing after hearing the sounds of Fox's blaster. Is their time finally coming?
"Bruh how did you miss, you should have let me shoot at 'em instead!" Falco frowned at Fox, not so confident in his best friend's abilities anymore. "Yet you call yourself a stellar pilot..."
"Not every great pilot needs to be proficient at wielding and using a gun, you know!" Just want Shulk, Fiora, and Dunban needed, an argument between Fox and Falco that may or may not end soon. No way the clones will be taken care of now.
"Guys, when I said we needed a diversion, I didn't mean anything like an argument," Shulk said to the Star Fox pilots in an attempt to stop the bickering. The bickering would catch the attention of Clone Fox and Clone Falco, who both felt somewhat endangered.
Shulk: I hate arguments and dissensions, it's just two ore more people complaining over perpetual nothingness, with the resolution to a mostly nonexistent problem as far as Pluto is from earth (might be even farther than that), but when push comes to shove, I have to step in and play peacemaker, cooling the arguers' tempers down to a minimum and making them come to a truce. Dissensions happen quite a lot in the mansion, what with so many different personalities clashing with one another, often for no good reason at all, so I really have my work cut out for me.
"Our original selves are coming to nab us!" panicked Clone Fox. "Let's scram!" He and Clone Falco scurried out of the arcade room; Doc Louis ran after the clones with his camera, but he came to a stop when he looked to his right and saw Fox and Falco bickering with one another, with Shulk stepping in between the two but to no avail. Now this was the Fox and Falco duo he knew and love - the duo that would argue over the most pettiest things.
"Who are you trying to kid, you're not the most accurate shooter, remember that time you were doing archery practice with Dark Pit and you horribly miscalculated that arrow shot?" Fox argued with Falco. "Nearly got Heihachi Mishima in the eye! You know Master Hand doesn't care for any insurance!"
"The whole archery incident was just a one time only thing, it's not like it's gonna happen ever again!" Falco fired back at his best friend. Doc Louis watched the two pilots carefully, stroking his chin, and he was convinced that the Fox and Falco before him were the original pilots, and not some clones.
"Hey Fox, Falco, you boys missed me?" the boxing trainer finally said, sporting a smile. Fox and Falco stopped arguing and looked towards Doc Louis, and they both smiled and whatnot as they walked up to Doc and gave him some dap. "Been following them clones of yours, and I didn't suspect a single thing! Boy do I feel dumb!"
"Nah man, it's all good, it's not your fault," assured Fox, pretending like his argument with Falco never happened. Too bad the Homs trio will remember it for a certain amount of time. "Those clones are definitely up to no good - they started doing their own thing ever since we told them to do parkour, and they might start more ruckus throughout the mansion!"
"Fox are you still there, can you go back to jumping on my belly?" King Dedede randomly asked, still lying on the floor. His Waddle Dees were there to keep him company, what he would do without them... "I actually enjoy you and Falco jumping on my belly, it felt good, real good..." ...that didn't sound weird and creepy at all. Diddy Kong would make his unnecessary appearance, blasting through the arcade room due to his malfunctioning Rocketbarrel Pack. Someone should really fix that thing. But Diddy Kong's jetpack got Shulk thinking...
"Who here is willing to carry King Dedede with us?" the Homs asked those around him. What is that man thinking...
"Welcome-a to the Smash-a Mansion, home of-a the mighty brawlers!" exclaimed Mario, once he, Pac-Man, and a certain Pokemon connoisseur by the name of Cilan had walked through the front door. "This is where-a you will be-a making the lovely wedding cake for my wonderful wedding! We have a guest-a room just prepared for you!"
Pac-Man: Mario and I went to Striaton City to pay Cilan, the cake designer, a visit. The original plan was to have him and his brothers, Chili and Cress, work together on the wedding cake, which will be enormously huge, but unfortunately Cilan said that he and his brothers couldn't work on the cake and operate the city's gym at the same time, so he opted to come with me and Mario to the Smash Mansion and work on the wedding cake there by himself, while Chili and Cress operate the Striaton Gym by themselves...Oh, and the guest room? We just had the Duck Hunt Dog move out of his room, no biggie. Donkey Kong built that mutt a doghouse in the backyard.
"It feel as if I'm in love with this Smash Mansion already!" stated Cilan, who brought his bags full of his belongings. What else would be pack in his bags, nothing but Poke balls? "You both told me great stories about this place on the ride to this city of Seattle, and I can't wait to..."
"Out of my way fools!" Sonic burst through the open door of the mansion, as Mario, Pac-Man, and Cilan got out of the way in the nick of time. Soon Sonic, still in his Super Sonic state, faced the three, flaunting his current Super Sonic state. "Hey Mario, who's the funny green-haired dude, is he a bank teller or something?"
"No I'm not a bank teller, I'm a Pokemon connoisseur! My name is Cilan, and I am one of the three gym leaders of Striaton Gym in Striaton City! My specialty is food...and grass-type Pokemon!" Sonic wasn't that all impressed - in fact, he was more horrified than anything!
"Ew gross, you like to eat Pokemon, especially grass-type Pokemon? You foul person! What sick bozo gave you the title of gym leader?" Hasn't been a minute yet, and Sonic was already making the guest feel uncomfortable.
"My job as a Pokemon connoisseur isn't to eat Pokemon - my job is to test the connection between a trainer and their Pokemon. Granted, the title 'connoisseur' may be very misleading, I know, but regardless, I'm great at what I do!" Sonic still wasn't impressed by Cilan.
"Yeah, whatever, sounds lame as heck. You can do your "trainer and Pokemon connection testing" crap, and I will go upset even more Dragon Ball Z fanboys! Love seeing their disgruntled faces when I tell them the truth!" Sonic went into the hallways to grab a chili dog to snack on before heading out of the mansion. His work is apparently not done yet.
"Sir Mario, we have a major issue on our hands!" Isabelle ran up to the plumber, accompanied by Mr. Game and Watch. "Mr. Game and Watch here was watching over the mansion while you were away, and he accidentally let Sonic release certain items from the storage room, since Master Hand had gone to go visit Crazy Hand and he thought with him gone, there would be no problem...however, Sonic released several Smash Balls from the storage room, and now he's masquerading in his Super Sonic form! Thank goodness Bowser never found one of the Smash Balls, otherwise we would have been in deep trouble..."
Mr. Game and Watch: *waves surrender flag in the air, likely in response to the idea of Giga Bowser rummaging in the mansion*
"So that-a would explain why Sonic was in-a that state without the use-a of Chaos Emeralds," Mario stroked his chin. He dared not ponder about Master Hand leaving the mansion while on house arrest, for he knew that the giant hand has gone through much more drastic measures in the past.
"But that's not all, Sonic also released a horde of Mr. Saturns from the storage room, and we can't do anything about it!" Toon Link appeared, with him and Alph carrying a bunch of Mr. Saturns in their arms. "We've been monitoring them for the longest now..."
"Returning them to the storage room where they belong might be difficult, we don't know exactly where they're supposed to go," added Alph. He has so many Mr. Saturns in his possession, he even as a few atop his helmet! "Also, Master Hand might be coming home soon, and if we see the mess left behind..."
"How about this - why don't we round up these Mr. Saturn creatures and bring them outside, and then we can go from there?" suggested Cilan. The others nodded at the connoisseur's suggestion; at this point, anything is better than nothing.
"Cilan that just might be a genius plan!" exclaimed Pac-Man. "Let's go round up those Mr. Saturns, and quick! Who knows when Master Hand will return!"
"Sorry Viridi, but there's nothing I can do about Pit, he's pretty much stuck in that spring," Palutena said to Viridi in the lounge, as Pit bounced away in his spring state. He'll have a very sore head once this whole ordeal is over.
"Lady Palutena I can't stop bouncing on my head, what if I get a concussion?" worried Pit as he continued to bounce. You'd think that an extreme weirdo like him would enjoy the bouncing, but evidently it's taking a physical toll on him.
"Heh, what a wimp, always depending on Lady Palutena and expecting her to solve every single one of his problems..." smirked Dark Pit, who coolly rested against the wall with his arms crossed. "Poor guy will be stuck to that woman forever!"
"Can we call a qualified doctor, like that Dr. Toadsworth guy Bowser brought over to treat Toon Link's sickness?" Viridi asked Palutena. Dr. Mario is no longer a qualified doctor? "Pit's spring condition, if it even is a condition, must have some sort of cure!"
Cloud: Wario has yet to return from "refining his superhero skills", and he probably expects Palutena to be outside when he saves Zelda and Aerith. Link and I aren't taking any chances, so we're getting Palutena right now.
"Palutena, do you mind coming outside with me and Link, it won't take long, I promise you," Cloud approached the goddess of light, with Link right behind him. Palutena was suddenly skeptical, wanting to know what was going on outside that she has to see.
"Why do you boys want me outside for...this isn't a trap, is it?" questioned Palutena. The swordsmen were looking for a way to convince the goddess without spilling any beans, and just then, Link saw a Mr. Saturn walking about and grabbed it quickly.
"This isn't a trap, we're um, looking for a place for this Mr. Saturn, and we believe that uh, there are other Mr. Saturns outside," replied Link. Cloud was surprised that his friend was able to come up with a very effective excuse on the spot; he should be thanking that Mr. Saturn for showing up, otherwise he and Link would have been in hot water. "We were wondering if you can come with us and investigate."
"I suppose I can tag along with you boys. Just as long as there's no sort of trap present." So Palutena followed Link and Cloud, and Dark Pit and Viridi, suddenly feeling intrigued, tagged along as well. Pit tried to follow Palutena, but then...
"Oh no you don't, you're coming with me mister!" King Dedede snatched away Pit when the coast was clear, covering his hand over the angel's mouth so Palutena and company wouldn't hear his cries for help.
"That should be the rest of the Mr. Saturn creatures," Cilan remarked after he, Mario, Pac-Man, Isabelle, Mr. Game and Watch, Toon Link, and Alph cleared the mansion out of Mr. Saturns. "Though I can't help but feel that there might be one left behind..."
"What matters is that we-a got a majority of the Mr. Saturns out-a of the mansion, without breaking a sweat," stated Mario as the Mr. Saturns walked about in the mansion's front yard. "Regardless, they still-a need to be taken care-a of, can't have them walking all-a over the place!"
"Yoo hoo, up here!" a female voice called out; Mario and company looked up at the top of the mansion, and saw Zelda, waving to everyone below her. "Have any of you folks seen Wario anywhere? He ordered Aerith and I to stand on top of the roof, and wait for him to give us some cue, but it appears he hasn't returned yet!" Mario and the others either shook their heads or shrugged. Wario-Man has been gone for an awfully long time, and to say Zelda and Aerith were bored on the mansion's roof would be a vast understatement.
Isabelle: Master Hand had called on the mansion's house phone while we were rounding up the Mr. Saturns (don't even ask how he's able to operate a phone) and he said that he's returning to the mansion very soon! What would he think of me when he comes back, and sees the Mr. Saturn crisis, and everything else that Sonic had transpired? He would probably take my role as in assistant...and give it to someone like Lloyd Irving? Can you imagine someone like him relaying important messages?! *shudders in fear*
"Coming through!" Sonic sped past Zelda, starling the princess of Hyrule and causing her to stumble. Mario and company watched in horror as Zelda made one ill-fated misstep that saw her fall off the top of the mansion before hanging onto the roof for dear life. Aerith soon ran over to the princess, with a heavy amount of fright on her face.
"Zelda, reach for my hand!" the flower girl held out her hand to Zelda, whose grip on the roof was failing. Just then, Link and Cloud arrived outside with Palutena, Dark Pit, and Viridi, and they soon witnessed Zelda, who was hanging onto the roof, lose her grip and fall to her doom. Now would be a great time for Wario-Man to make his grand appearance and save the day...but he has yet to show up!
"Zelda! NOOOO!" Link did what every other boyfriend would do in this situation and scream at the top of his lungs, as he saw Zelda fall off the mansion...and wind up in the arms of Cilan, who stepped in just in time to save the princess of Hyrule. Cilan 1, Wario-Man 0.
"You nearly had us there," Cilan smiled at Zelda as he gently placed the princess on the ground. "For a minute it looked like you could have been a goner."
"Well at least there was a hero present to save me..." Zelda smiled as Link ran up to his woman and embraced her, glad that she's in one piece. However, Cilan's good deeds may not be done yet...
"Um, how am I supposed to get down from here?" asked Aerith, still on the mansion's roof. "Don't feel like going down from the roof by myself..." Suddenly Diddy Kong breezed by on his malfunctioning rocketbarrel pack, accidentally knocking into Aerith and sending her over the roof. The flower girl would scream as she fell until Cilan rose at the most opportune moment as Aerith landed safely in his arms, right when Cloud was about to make the save. Cilan 2, Wario-Man 0.
"Another great deed done," Cilan placed Aerith gently on the ground, as the flower girl held her hand over her heart and took a deep breath. No way she was ever gonna go on the mansion's roof again.
"Look what we have here, a herd of Mr. Saturns!" Link exclaimed as he took the Mr. Saturn in his possession and placed it with the others, before looking back at Palutena. "And you thought Cloud and I had a trap..." Palutena just shrugged, she had no idea what Link and Cloud had in mind.
Black Knight: It's been a long day, and my proposition for Mr. Game and Watch has yet to come to fruition. Perhaps there must be something to charm him, to make him content... *spots several Double Cherries and Spring Mushrooms on the floor, as well as a Smash Ball bouncing about* I wonder... *strokes chin thoughtfully*
Mario was busy introducing Cilan to the others, talking about his profession as a Pokemon connoisseur and how he's also a grass-type Pokemon gym leader, when Wario-Man finally showed up, with several pieces of wood in his hand. The fat superhero was whistling as he walked when he caught the attention of Mario and company, who looked at him somewhat suspiciously. Why would a superhero like Wario-Man need wood in the first place?
"What exactly are-a planning to do with-a that wood, Wario?" Mario said to Wario-Man, who began to sweat profusely in fear. The superhero looked towards Zelda and Aerith, both smiling as the anticipated to see how Wario-Man would weasel his way out of the current situation. But like every superhero, he has a plan...
"You see Mario, I was planning on using this wood...to fence off these here Mr. Saturns!" Wario-Man said, pointing to the peculiar Earthbound creatures that had just caught his eye. "I've been working my butt off regulating the Mr. Saturns after they were released in the mansion (dumb things were running in stampedes, I had witnessed a few), and I was gonna bring 'em outside and fence them off...although you had taken care of the first part of my plan already."
"Way to conveniently change the plan in a very drastic manner, right on the spot," Cloud murmured to Link; the Hylian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well a superhero (or should I say, fake superhero) like yourself can't do a task like fencing by yourself," said Pac-Man. "How about we all pitch in and help Wario-Man build a fence to keep the Mr. Saturns from wandering off?" At first, mostly everyone wasn't down on the idea of building fences and whatnot, but turning down Pac-Man's offer would be a bad look in several ways, so pretty much everyone to oblige.
"I'll get the wood glue!" Dark Pit volunteered as he ran back inside the mansion. Don't be so surprised if the angel doesn't come back out again.
Clone Fox and Clone Falco continued to do their parkour thing, jumping off of walls, doing random back-flips, opening/closing random doors, and the like. They kept doing all these things and more until they stopped and saw King Dedede, who apparently enjoyed the clones bouncing on his belly. Did he like it so much that he wants the clones to do it again?
"Hey boys, I see you're still doing that parkour stuff," said the penguin, holding something behind his back. "As much as I know you fellas want to bounce on me again, I had something else in mind that you might like...TA-DA!" King Dedede revealed to the clones Pit, stuck inside a spring, with a cloth wrapped around his mouth. "Why bounce off of me, when you can bounce off of this kid and reach extraordinary heights?! You could even reach the top of the mansion if you wanted to!"
Doc Louis: Look you guys, I don't wanna do this, not to my baby...
Fiora: Doc, for the last time, that thing is NOT your "baby", it'll be gone sooner than you know it!
Falco: Fiora's right bruh, you have to give it up otherwise Shulk's plan would be an ultimate failure! You wanna see Shulk fail? Or are you gonna cry like a big baby and blow our cover?
Doc Louis: I never want to see anyone fail...but my precious, I just can't...
Shulk: For cripes' sake, you're practically turning into Gollum...give me that!
"I know you fellas wouldn't pass on this opportunity, so come and get it while ya can!" King Dedede said to the clones, who came closer to the penguin...when a chocolate bar was thrown in the middle of the hallway. The Fox and Falco clones looked at the chocolate bar, then at Pit, then at the chocolate, then at Pit, and then ultimately decided what would be the better decision...the clones came straight for the chocolate bar. They've been hanging around with Doc Louis so much, they've practically turned into Doc Louis themselves!
"Now, King Dedede, throw Pit!" Shulk's voice was heard, as the penguin did as he was told, throwing Pit straight at the clones, too busy fighting over the chocolate bar. Right at the very moment, Diddy Kong came blasting through on his rocketbarrel pack, and he collided with the clones and Pit, resulting in a minor explosion. Shulk and company came out of the hiding spot to go investigate - only thing in the vicinity other than King Dedede was Pit (no longer inside a spring), Diddy Kong (no longer riding on his malfunctioning rocketbarrel pack) and the somehow unharmed chocolate bar, lying on the floor.
"I'm not stuck inside a spring anymore, I can move my limbs again!" Pit exclaimed after checking himself out. Diddy Kong looked behind his back, and saw no rocketbarrel pack on him.
"And that stupid rocketbarrel pack is finally gone, no more flying for me!" the spidermonkey exclaimed as well. King Dedede ran over to Pit and Diddy, giving them a huge hug, slightly thankful that they're back to normal again. Moments like this prove that Dedede isn't as villainous as he seems.
"I calibrated Diddy Kong's rocketbarrel path precisely, and it led to a great result!" stated Shulk, channeling one of his victory poses from Super Smash Bros 4. "Overall this was a win-win all-around - the clones are gone, Diddy Kong's rocketbarrel pack is gone, and Pit is a normal boy again! Couldn't have drawn this one up any better!"
"Aren't you boys supposed to do me a favor for me, just like you promised?" Fiora grinned at Fox and Falco, who either looked down at the floor or to the side. A disgruntled Dunban threw his arms in the air, wondering if he'll ever receive an apology for Clone Falco riding him like a horse. Should be glad that perhaps only Doc Louis witnessed it.
Back outside, the Mr. Saturn fencing was just about done, and it was all thanks to the wonderful work of Mr. Game and Watch, the master housekeeper. Once the finishing touches on the fence was done, the 2-D man would be lauded for his efforts, with Mario and company complimenting him for his hard work.
Mario: After we fenced-a off the Mr. Saturns, I think I learned-a something today - that Mr. Game and-a Watch is severely underappreciated! Why, he deserves-a to be paid, think of where the mansion would-a be without his presence! I could pay him with-a the money from my wedding budget-a if I truly wanted to!
But Mr. Game and Watch wouldn't be the only person appreciated for his efforts - Wario-Man, having reverted back to Wario, was getting some props from Palutena for suggesting that the Mr. Saturns should be fenced off, even though his plan was to save Zelda and Aerith in an act of heroism.
"Always have known that deep down inside, there's a kind-hearted soul!" the goddess of light said to the fatso. "So proud you showed that you're not all about money and fame..." Palutena would do the near-unthinkable, as she kissed Wario on the cheek before walking away. Wario smiled lovingly as he lost his balance out of love and fainted on the ground. Link and Cloud stood over the fatso, in disbelief that a woman like Palutena would dare to kiss Wario. Forget Pit - someone needs to check her for a concussion.
"Did Wario ever tell you why he had those pieces of wood in his possession?" Link asked Cloud, not caring at all about Wario's current condition.
"He claimed that he was using the pieces of wood as stakes to mark his territory when he saves Zelda and Aerith from danger, so he wouldn't get that far, or something like that," explained Cloud. "Bet he's glad he even brought the wood, had he not he would have found himself in a heap of trouble..."
"I'm baaaack!" Master Hand would make his glorious return to the Smash Mansion, startling everyone as he magically appeared in front of Mario. "So I see that you and Pac-Man have returned from your trip, did you enjoy your time? Also, who's this green-haired weirdo standing before me?"
"That's Cilan, a gym leader from Striaton City!" replied Pac-Man. "He'll be staying with us for the time being and work on Mario's wedding cake." Cilan held out his hand to Master Hand, hoping to shake his hand. Always gotta make a great impression for the Smash universe creator.
"Well I hope you enjoy your stay at the Smash Mansion - keep in mind that most of the residents are pretty insufferable from time to time, so just notify me whenever you need to and I'll take care of anyone that irritates you." Master Hand would then notice the Mr. Saturns fenced off, and seeing that they were out of the storage room... "ISABELLE, WHAT ARE THESE MR. SATURNS DOING OUT HERE, TELL ME NOW AT ONCE!"
The shih tzu would come before Master Hand, telling him the story of how Sonic released the Mr. Saturns, Double Cherries, Spring Mushrooms, and Smash Balls from the mansion after he believed he had Mr. Game and Watch's consent. Mario would then pitch in and tell Master Hand that Sonic is still masquerading as Super Sonic, upsetting Dragon Ball Z fans everywhere. The hedgehog has yet to return, which might make Master Hand's punishment for him all the more swifter.
"Sonic's punishment will have to wait till later, I'll deal with him once he returns," stated Master Hand. "Take me to the storage room at once, I must see if there was any other items taken out!"
Master Hand: Sonic is honestly about to drive me insane, his antics are over the line and make me question his overall sanity at times. Wouldn't be surprised if he was diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder. Good thing I have the perfect punishment for him - he may not like, but it's what he deserves!
Mario, Isabelle, and Mr. Game and Watch took Master Hand to the storage room, and to their surprise, they saw the Black Knight restocking the room with the Double Cherries, Spring Mushrooms, and Smash Balls he found throughout the mansion. He had just closed the door and locked it tight when he saw Master Hand and company, and was overly delighted.
"Ah, Master Hand, you have returned!" the Black Knight exclaimed. "Surprised that you were able to leave the mansion without triggering that tracking device around your finger."
"It was no biggie, had Crazy Hand disable the device in no time!" said Master Hand. They don't call him Crazy Hand for a reason! "Mario and Isabelle had told me that certain items were released from the storage room thanks to Sonic...but it looks like you've taken care of the issue."
"Somebody had to do it, and it had to be me...and since you all are here, I've been thinking...why not a tea party? You four have been working pretty hard - Mario, preparing for your wedding; Isabelle, doing your thing as an assistant; Mr. Game and Watch, keeping the house tidy and clean, and Master Hand...I've been proposing this tea party to you for the longest, yet you always decline!"
"I can't help that I'm busy most of the time, watching over the mansion and doing everything else is very time consuming! But I suppose I can make some room for your tea party, it'll be absolutely glorious!" How is Master Hand supposed to drink a cup of tea? Considering he was able to consume waffles, anything is possible for him.
"Sup you guys, how's it going?" Sonic showed up, eating a chili dog in his regular state. "You wouldn't believe how many DBZ fanboys I ticked off in my Super Sonic form - I told this one dude that I was better than Goku and Vegeta combined, and I made him cry, such a wimp! And this other guy..." Sonic stopped when he saw Mario and company frowning at him, disapproving of the hedgehog's action. "Why are you looking at me like that, do I have food on my face?"
"Go to my room and stay there until I tell you to leave..." ordered Master Hand, and Sonic scurried away.
"Here's some more tea for you, Isabelle!" Cilan smiled as he poured tea from a teapot into the shih tzu's teacup. Isabelle was sitting at a coffee table with Mario, Master Hand, and the Black Knight, who allowed Cilan to officiate the entire tea party. Every tea fanatic needs a break every now and then.
"Are you all ready for the main course?" Fiora asked, coming to the table to ask the guests this question. Mario gave the Homs two thumbs up. "Alright boys, bring it out!" Fox and Falco appeared, carrying a giant plate of apple strudel that they offered to help Fiora make, and placed it on the table. They weren't frowning because they had to make the strudel - they were frowning because Fiora forced the pilots to wear maid costumes.
"I'll be right back with you folks, just give me a quick minute!" Cilan left the tea party, and went to a nearby room, where Pit, Viridi, Toon Link, Alph, and Diddy Kong were playing a board game on the floor.
"So happy that you're back to normal, Pitty, I was worried sick about you!" Viridi said to the angel, embarrassing him. Being called pet names is something absolutely no boyfriend wants.
"No Viridi, not in front of the boys..." grumbled Pit, but Viridi would keep the embarrassment going for Pit as she kissed him multiple times on the cheek. Toon Link, Alph, and Diddy Kong did their best to stifle their laughter as Cilan looked at himself in front of a mirror, adjusting his bowtie.
"Mario and his friends are such great company, not to mention that the youngsters aren't so bad when you get to know them..." Cilan said to himself. Once he was finished with his bowtie, he looked at himself in the mirror one more time, and flashed a smile as he saw Mr. Game and Watch in the background, cleaning up a spill in the hallway. Even though the 2-D man was at a tea party, his housekeeping job, role, or whatever you want to call it is still a high priority for him. And making the perfect wedding cake for Mario's and Peach's wedding will be a high priority for Cilan during his stay at the mansion.
"...I think I'm gonna enjoy my time here," would be the last words Cilan would say before heading back to the tea party.
