Author's Note:
The final Direct before Ultimate happened, and who was added to the game? Ken Masters, Inceniroar, and Piranha Plant. (The third one had me laughing.) I know many of you were expecting Shadow and Isaac to be playable characters, but no worries, I've got some BIG plans for them in this story. You'll see. Since I'm still feeling hyped from the Direct - especially with the new Adventure mode - I'll answer some guest reviews...although I usually answer them already.
"Will you ever give Zero his Mega Man Zero appearance? Has Mr. Resetti ever ranted about Viridi's reset bombs? Can you include a chapter focused on Mario, Pauline and Cranky Kong? An SNK Heroines chapter? And finally, do you think Mario Kart Double Dash still gets way too much hate?"
I like to consider the Zero in Mega Man Zero as a different Zero from the one in the X series, so no. Mr. Resetti won't rant about Viridi's reset bombs (...or will he?). I can do a chapter with those three? And maybe an SNK Heroines chapter. Also, why do people hate Double Dash so much? I like the whole two riders per kart gimmick. Huh...on to the next reviewer:
"Do you also add superheroes in this series or not? Just curious."
You mean as in like Marvel and DC superheroes? I'm afraid not. Next is Derick Lindsey:
"I wonder what he hates more though: Halloween or Tom Nook? Maybe next Halloween he'll be forced to take Timmy and Tommy Nook for trick or treating as a way to settle a debt with Tom *wink wink nudge nudge*."
Master Hand definitely hates Halloween more. Him taking Timmy and Tommy trick-or-treating would be nice, but might result in the deaths of the two tanukis. Can't let that happen. Next is darkcol9:
"is there any way for Goemon from Mystical Ninja series to make an appearance since he made one in Super Bomberman R as Goemon Bomber? he's been my favorite character since the N64 era.
Goemon may show up with Bomberman one day, just because. Last up is El Pollo Compero:
"Are any future chapters going to address the grinch leaks that have been going around?"
This will be the only chapter that will address the Grinch leak. So many salty fanboys, threatening to sell their Switch because the leak was debunked in the Direct...the salt in the Smash community knows no bounds.
Episode 150: Fanboyism
It took him around seven or eight episodes, but he finally did it...Diddy Kong finally overcame his fear of flying. After going on a very accidental joyride in Chase's spaceship in the last episode, the spidermonkey had an adrenaline rush that could not be contained, as he discovered a love for flying he never knew existed.
Because Diddy's fear of flying was now gone forever, it gave Fox and Falco the incentive to take Diddy with them on their trip to Japan, to save Donkey Kong from the clutches of Maiko Shimazaki. Maiko might not be an evil overlord or a corrupt CEO, per se, but Donkey Kong deserved to come back home where he belonged.
Ready to board on the airplane to Japan, Fox, Falco, and Diddy met with Master Hand, Mario, and Itsuki at the airport before they could make their leave. The two pilots and the spidermonkey had their things packed up, ready for the journey ahead.
"I'll make sure to continue running Star Records while you two are away," Itsuki assured Fox and Falco, giving them both confidence he would keep the ship steady while the duo was away. "If any issue arises, I'll be the first to let you know."
"Listen here, Mr. McCloud and Mr. Lombardi, and listen good...I want DK back in my mansion, safe and sound," commanded Master Hand, like they didn't know that already. "That Maiko thinks she can just waltz in, steal some talentless ape, and take him to Japan to kickstart her crappy label company...well, she has another thing coming for her."
"Relax, Master Hand, Fox and Falco are already aware-a of what they need to do," Mario kindly said to the giant hand, before returning his attention to Fox and Falco. "I'll keep my phone-a on at all times, in case you need-a to give me a call. I'm only one-a call away!"
"Are you implying that you keep your phone off during the day, Mario?" inferred Falco, as Mario looked around feeling quite guilty. "No wonder you never respond to my text messages...makin' me feel hurt, man!"
Falco: Eh, the stuff I text to Falco isn't that important anyways. It's mostly just nonsensical stuff like, "Your pet dog is dumber than a pile of rocks!", or even, "Your daughter will drop out of high school and start a career in human trafficking!" It's stuff that's meant to toughen Mario up. If he's willing to take a joke, that is.
"You got nothing to worry about Mario, we're just saving Donkey Kong," assured Fox, wondering why this meeting was even necessary. Why couldn't Mario and company just let them leave, darn it?! "Not like we're moving to Japan permanently!"
"Moving to Japan permanently..." mused Master Hand, likely mulling over the prospect of moving the mansion. A decision that would be universally derided. "...I should ask Isabelle about that. And maybe Ayaha, too."
"...isn't our plane supposed to take off in a few minutes?" asked Diddy, as he looked at his watch. He and the pilots didn't have much time to waste.
"Shoot, you're right Diddy, we gotta go!" replied Fox, as he and Falco gave some dap to Mario and Itsuki before grabbing their suitcases and running off to the plane.
"We'll see you guys later! Hasta luego!"
"Watch over the bananas while I'm away!" Diddy called out to Mario and company, waving to them as he followed Fox and Falco to the plane. Mario and Itsuki would wave back, but Master Hand did not, for he was feeling quite salty.
"How come Fox and Falco never gave any dap to me..." the giant hand wondered, sounding pretty despondent. To be fair, giving dap to Master Hand would be hard to pull off, in most instances.
Fox, Falco, and Diddy all boarded inside the plane, as the plane took off, its destination being Tokyo, Japan. Fox was resting peacefully in his chair, with a sleeping mask on; he told Falco and Diddy not to wake him up until the plane landed in Japan. However, Falco would break the rule, tapping Fox on the shoulder.
"Can't let a man have his beauty sleep before going to a foreign country, can ya?" Fox snapped on Falco, when he was woken. Falco leaned in close to Fox, like he wanted to whisper something to him.
"Have you called them yet?" the avian pilot whispered to Fox, whose eyes widened. Fox grabbed his cellphone, and quickly dialed a number, before holding the phone up to his ear expecting an answer.
"Hello Fox, is that you?" a voice emitted from the phone, possibly belonging to someone old. "I still haven't found a way to set up my caller ID yet."
"Yeah, yeah, that's good...have you and Slippy reached the mansion yet?" The guy Fox was speaking with was obviously Peppy Hare, the oldest member of Star Fox. "Falco, Diddy, and I are off to Tokyo."
"Yes Fox, we're landing our Arwings in the driveway of the mansion as we speak. There's a truck in the way, but I'm sure the driver won't mind!"
Link: Ooh...Zelda sure had a lot of nerve, forcing me to shake hands with Villager. Everyone knows the Joker would never do that, it would ruin his character, his mystique. If Joker were to shake hands with Batman, he would poke Batman in the eye, spit in his face, kick him in the crotch, or do all three at the same time. I know I would. But since Zelda wanted me to be all buddy-buddy with...
Isabelle: Link, I don't mean to alarm you, but...there's an Arwing scratching up your truck.
Link: Scratching up my WHAT?!
Feeling angry and ticked off, Link followed Isabelle to the driveway, where two Arwings were trying to land. One Arwing was having no problems whatsoever, able to land with ease. Same couldn't be said for the other Arwing, which as Isabelle said was scratching up Link's truck.
"You stupid idiot, do you not realize what you're doing?!" yelled Link, expecting whoever was in the Arwing - either Peppy or Slippy - to hear him. Link went on a screaming rage, running towards the Arwing and leaping on top of it.
"No, Link, it's not safe!" warned Isabelle, as she ran to the driveway. Link was beating on the hatch of the Arwing with his fist, with an angry scowl on his face, until the hatch opened up sending Link to the ground.
"Great googly moogly! Is this your truck?" asked the person in the Arwing - it was Slippy Toad. Link should've known. "I'm so sorry Link, I didn't know!"
"Had a feeling it would be you...I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Link took out his Master Sword, and Slippy shrieked as he hopped out of the Arwing and ran away. Link screamed once more, as he chased after the frog with his sword.
"Okay Link you can cut it out, I'm sure Slippy didn't mean it," Isabelle said to the Hylian, who refused to listen to the shih tzu. Making Slippy pay for scratching up his truck, Epona, was the Hylian's main focus. "Please stop it right now..."
"Is that uncontrollable screaming I hear?" asked a certain rabbit, as the hatch from the other Arwing opened. Peppy Hare appeared, and he saw Slippy being chased by Link. "Hold on Slippy, I'll save you!" Peppy took out his Blaster, had it lined up with Link, and he shot the Hylian in the leg, sending him to the ground.
"Gaaaaah!" Link yelped in pain as he clutched his leg, rubbing the place where Peppy shot him at. Peppy hopped out of his Arwing and walked over to Link, standing over him.
"Such an aggressive fellow...haven't seen him so aggressive ever since he suplexed that gentleman at the Christmas party." Peppy looked over and saw Slippy, standing near a tree as he caught his breath. "Slippy, are you okay?" Peppy called out to the frog.
"Never better!" replied Slippy, giving Peppy a salute. Once he was done with his breather, Slippy ran over to Peppy, making sure he didn't drop his hat along the way. "Thought Link was gonna murder me."
"Well, Slippy, maybe if you parked your Arwing better, you would've avoided scratching up Link's vehicle! But Link shouldn't have reacted the way he did." Peppy suddenly felt someone's presence, as he looked down and saw Isabelle! "Isabelle! Top of the afternoon to you! I reckon we haven't seen each other since that Christmas party, a few years back."
"It's nice seeing you again, Peppy Hare!" exclaimed Isabelle - wonder if Isabelle shared that same excitement for Slippy. Would be kinda telling if she didn't. "Fox and Falco told me before they left that you'd stop by for a visit. Though I didn't expect..."
"Hi, Isabelle, it's me again, Slippy!" Slippy greeted the shih tzu, grabbing her face with his hands and pulling on it profusely. Whatever excitement Isabelle might've had for Slippy was gone now. "You remember me, right? I love you Isabelle, you've always been a favorite of mine!"
Peppy: Since Fox and Falco might be in Japan for a substantial amount of time, until they rescue Donkey Kong, Fox asked us to stay at the mansion till they return, to make it seem like he and Falco "never left". Don't know why he could choose us...
Slippy: We were handpicked because we're both similar to Fox and Falco, obviously. Like Falco, I'm emotional to a fault, and do things out of passion. As for you, Peppy, you're like Fox - so cool, you're cooler than a polar bear's toenails!
Peppy: I was never a cool person - I'm too wise and practical to be categorized as being cool. Stop lying like that, Slippy.
Slippy: Now now, Peppy...it's not okay to be so self-depreciating. Self-depreciation only works when you're funny. Which is something you're not.
Peppy: So how can I be "cool" if I'm not even...you know what Slippy, you're neither cool nor funny yourself. *walks away*
Slippy: Believe me, Peppy, I do have jokes - I got jokes for days! *chases after Peppy* Why did the chicken cross the river?...Peppy? PEPPY!
"Alright, that's enough," said Peppy, slapping Slippy's hands away from Isabelle's face. Slippy retracted his hands, as Isabelle rubbed her face, feeling somewhat discombobulated inside. "Slippy didn't hurt you too much, did he?" Peppy asked Isabelle.
"He kinda pinched me real hard, but other than that, I'm fine," smiled Isabelle, vowing never to let Slippy touch her ever again. To her, Slippy was her new number one enemy. Her first ever number one enemy. "How long will you be staying over?"
"We honestly don't know - for whatever reason, Fox and Falco wants us to stay at the mansion until they return from their trip. Which is why Slippy and I brought our belongings with us. We'd love to get inside and unpack."
"Luckily for you, we have a guest room in the mansion for you two! I'll never understand why we even have guest rooms to begin with...just follow me inside!"
So Peppy and Slippy grabbed their suitcases from the Arwings, and followed Isabelle inside the mansion. Link, still in pain, helped himself off the ground as he looked up and saw Slippy entering the mansion. The Hylian felt great animosity build up inside of him.
"Slippy Toad...I'll get you later..." he vowed, before collapsing to the ground, his face pressed against the soil of the earth.
Once Peppy and Slippy unpacked their belongings, it was time for the two pilots to greet the mansion residents. If you recall from episode 3, Slippy was fanboying over everyone, from Cloud to Mega Man. So it was a huge given the frog could continue his charades, because of how much the mansion has grown over time.
"Please, Crash, I beg of you...do your legendary spin one more time!" Slippy implored Crash, in the living room; Crash was pretty exhausted, likely from spinning one too many times. "It's so nice, I just have to see it again!"
"Slippy, you've seen Crash spin a gazillion times already," Coco said to the frog, sitting on a couch with Tails and Sonic with Aku hovering above them. Sonic warned Coco about Slippy, and after Coco's initial meeting with Slippy, the bandicoot never realized how right Sonic was. "Wasn't one time enough for you?"
"No, I need more, more I tell you!" Coco leaned back from Slippy, and Tails and Sonic followed suit. Aku floated to the other side of the living room, just to be safe. "One more time Crash, spin for me one more time!"
Already tired of Slippy, Crash spun once more, before falling to the floor out of exhaustion. Cortex, peering inside the living room, saw this and ran over to Crash, before placing his foot on the bandicoot like he had conquered him.
"Quick, someone snap a picture!" ordered the mad scientist, as Uka floated inside the living room and shook his head. "This will be an undeniable part of history...I need all the bragging rights I can get!"
Cortex: Something I never could understand is, why is it that people are so excited to see Crash, but not me? Crash is a goofball with a negative IQ, while I'm a mad scientist with enough brain power to make an average person blush! What does Crash have that I don't?
Uka: As much as I hate to say it, being Crash's nemesis...Crash has an actual charm. Also, he's fairly easy to look at without grimacing. Your face, Dr. Cortex, is off-putting - looking at your face would make Chuck Norris cry like a baby.
Cortex: Always taking jabs at my appearance...such a cheap, tasteless tactic. At least I don't look like a voodoo mask, like you.
Uka: You know, Dr. Cortex, when I was a human, I DID have a girlfriend...
Cortex:...are you serious?
Nobody on the couch would snap a photo of Cortex "conquering" Crash - because why would they? - so Slippy would do the honors as he took out his cellphone and snapped Cortex's phone. The frog would then share the photo online, as Peppy entered the living room with Layton and Luke.
"Look at that, Peppy's chilling out with the boring Professor Layton and that munchkin assistant of his, Luke," remarked Sonic, in a distasteful tone. He thought Peppy could do so much better. "I guess boring people attracts boring people..."
"I wouldn't say Professor Layton's boring - he's far from it," Peppy stood up for Layton, as Sonic looked away and laughed. "Loved hearing his wonderful conversations about his detective work."
"Did someone say 'Professor Layton'?" asked Peppy after he was done sharing the photo of Cortex online, for who knows why. The frog turned around, and gasped in delight when he saw Layton! "OH MY GOODNESS, PROFESSOR LAYTON, I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOURS!"
"I had no idea boring people like Layton can have fans," Sonic said to Tails and Coco, who both ignored him as Slippy ran up to Layton and hugged him tight. It was like Corrin and Mac all over again.
"Wow Professor Layton, sounds like you're a pretty popular guy," Luke said to Layton, who was smiling. The detective had no idea what to do with Slippy; the hug caught him off-guard.
"Professor Layton, I just wanna say that I love your detective work, and that your daughter is super fine!" Slippy said to the detective, unnerving him with the comment about his daughter.
"How do you even know my daughter...?" questioned Layton; Slippy either had a chance encounter with Layton's daughter, or he devoutly researched Layton's personal life, like the crazy fanboy he was.
"You mean Katrielle? I saw her around town one day. I think it was in England. I would've asked her about you, but I didn't wanna be rude or nosy."
"Thank goodness..." smiled Layton, as he wiped away some sweat from his face. Why didn't Layton want Slippy to ask Katrielle about him? Did he not trust the frog, or was there another reason? Quite strange.
"Yo, Professor Layton, are you still coming or not?" Captain Falcon called out to the detective from afar. "Bass really wants to play a game of pool with you!"
"Bass, as in the robot created by Dr. Eggman?!" squealed Slippy, as he released his grip on Layton. Layton felt quite thankful - Slippy was starting to hurt his insides. "Someone tell Bass that I'm coming too!"
"But you're not even..." started Sonic, before sighing as he hopped off the couch. "...I'll be chilling outside in the hammock if you need me." The hedgehog said to Coco, Tails, and Aku as he left the living room.
Sonic: Slippy would undoubtledy start acting weird throughout the rest of the day, so to keep my sanity intact, I'll be resting on the hammock outside with Shaymin. If Slippy even thinks about coming near me, I'll just have Shaymin fire an energy ball at him, and send that frog flying far, far away. Then I'll be universally liked at the mansion, for once!
Fox, Falco, and Diddy were still flying up high in the sky, with Fox sleeping away, Falco looking out the window, and Diddy taking a sip of some kind of drink. The three dudes were seated together, although that wasn't exactly what they had intended.
"Psst, Fox, you wanna try out this mimosa?" Diddy asked the pilot, waking him up from his nap. Fox gave Diddy a glare, having his slumber interrupted yet again.
"Why can't you and Falco let me have my beauty sleep before we land in Tokyo?" frowned Fox, refusing to go back to sleep until he got a suitable answer. "That's all I'm asking for, dang it!"
"I thought beauty sleeps were only for women." Fox looked at Diddy with a look of surprise, unable to accept the very words that came out of the spidermonkey's mouth.
"I'm sorry Diddy, but that was straight-up sexist and if a woman was listening to our conversation she'd be very offended." Fox would go back to sleep, but he saw that Diddy was holding the mimosa towards him. "You really want me to drink that thing, huh?"
"I flipped the straw to the other side, so you wouldn't get any backwash. Come on, give it a try!" With some reluctance, Fox accepted the mimosa from Diddy, as he grabbed the straw and took a sip. Fox's eyes lit up in an instant.
"That mimosa must taste pretty good, huh Fox?" Falco asked his best friend, who was too much in love with the mimosa to respond. It was like the pilot suddenly found himself in pure, unadulterated euphoria.
"Mmmm...so good," remarked Fox, taking his lips away from the straw as he happily sighed in delight. The pilot was about to take another sip, until Diddy snatched the mimosa away from him.
"Don't drink all of it!" the spidermonkey frowned at Fox, before handing the mimosa to Falco. "Gotta let Falco give it a try." Falco took the mimosa, and wondered if he should drink it after Diddy and Fox already drunk out of it.
"Nah, I'm good," the avian pilot kindly said, as he handed the mimosa back to Diddy. The avian pilot went back to looking out the window, staring at the clouds.
"You want one for yourself? I can hook you up." Diddy got out of his seat, as he went to the back of the plane. He would be stopped in his tracks when he encountered a plane stewardess.
"Sorry sir, but I can't let you go back to first class," the stewardess told Diddy, who wasn't that far from Fox and Falco. The two pilots looked at Diddy, wondering why the stewardess was holding him up. "You'll just have to stay put."
"But I am first class - my uncle is an aspiring R&B singer!" First time Diddy ever used Donkey Kong's budding music career as an advantage. However, it didn't work, as the stewardess found herself giggling. "You might laugh now, but in the future..."
"Please go back to your seat sir, we don't need any trouble on the plane. And I better not catch you stealing another mimosa again..." Diddy grumbled to himself, as the spidermonkey went back to his seat and pouted. The stewardess headed back, as Diddy folded his arms in disgust.
Stewardess: "My uncle is an aspiring R&B singer..." *laughs* ...as if. I've heard better tall tales from sugar-induced children with ADHD.
"You wanna know what cheers me up?" Falco asked Diddy, sensing how ticked off the spidermonkey was, as he took out a bag of seeds. "Sunflower seeds! Do you monkeys eat seeds? Eh, you probably eat everything anyways..."
"No thanks, I've brought enough spare bananas with me to hold me over," replied Diddy, lifting up his cap and taking a banana from the top of his head. "Got another banana underneath my shirt."
"Better eat that banana as quietly as possibly, because I really need my beauty sleep," warned Fox, ready to put the eye mask back over his eyes. If either one of you fools wake me up again for any reason, then I'm gonna...OW!"
Fox yelped in pain, when a cart banged against his leg. The carted was pushed by the stewardess, who felt some sympathy for Fox as the pilot grabbed his leg.
"My apologies sir, though you shouldn't have left our leg out in the aisle like that," the stewardess said to Fox, who was trying his best not to shed a tear. "Anyways, would you and your friend care for some food or drink? Can't ask your monkey friend, since he trespassed into first class..."
At the gaming room, Layton was playing against Bass in a game of pool. Bass wouldn't be alone in his battle against Layton, for he had a supporter...Slippy, who was cheering on for the robot.
"Bass, Bass, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!" Slippy cheered on for Bass, who was trying to focus as he had his pool stick lined up with the white cue ball. Slippy was really messing up his focus and concentration.
"Just stay in your lane, and maybe I won't think about killing you," Bass warned Slippy, letting him know what was up. He could hear Slippy breathing excitedly for him from a meter away, and it was VERY loud.
"Do you mind if I give you a fitting nickname? How does Sea Bass sound? Sounds alright with you?" Bass gritted his teeth, as Slippy became more irritating to him. His eye began to twitch a little.
"That doesn't even sound fitting, and my name is pronounced differently so it won't work. Now will you please shut up so I can focus?" Slippy could never shut up - he - he was too excitable to ever keep quiet.
"Bass if you were to lose this game of pool, I just wanna say that...that you're the greatest fighting robot who has ever lived!"
Bass struck the cue ball with all his might, as the ball was sent rolling into a yellow ball. Due to the sheer force, the white ball sent the yellow ball flying off the billiards table, sending it towards Red the Pokemon Trainer and nailing him in the nose.
"Oh no, I've been hit!" shouted Red, grabbing his nose in pain as he got down on one knee. Wii Fit Trainer would come to the rescue, as she tended to Red and helped him off the floor.
"Can you move your hand for a second?" Wii Fit asked Red, as the Pokemon trainer removed his hand from his nose. Not only was his nose slightly broken, but it was pretty bloody as well.
"How bad is it, do I need to go to the fitness center to be treated?" Wii Fit didn't respond - instead, she just grabbed Red's nose and snapped it back into place, making the Pokemon trainer grimace in pain. "Ouch, that hurts! Should've given me a warning..."
"There, nothing like a quick fix to get your nose back in place! Now you can go to the fitness center. Tell Leia to give you a bandage and an ice pack, and you'll be all set to go!"
"Thanks for nothing..." Red mumbled to Wii Fit, glaring down Bass as he left the gaming room. If anything, the Pokemon trainer should be glaring down Slippy for causing Bass to mess up.
Red: Good thing Blue wasn't around to see my nose get broken; he would've been like "Ha, I never any of my body parts broken, that's how great I really am!" Dude loves to brag over things that aren't even remotely necessary, like how much money he has currently has in his wallet. I think we all know who's responsible for that.
"Look what you made me do, you stupid frog!" Bass snapped on Slippy, making him shiver in fright. "I got Red injured because of you! He's gonna hate me forever because you wanna act all stupid and stuff!"
"How was it my fault, it was Red's fault for standing in the way of the ball," stated Slippy, as Bass looked away and groaned. He couldn't believe Slippy right now. "Also, you put a little too much force into..."
"MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T BEING SUCH AN IDIOTIC MORON, I WOULD'VE HIT THE CUE BALL SOFTER!" Bass started to inhale and exhale deeply, feeling extremely ticked. Slippy looked on, feeling pretty despondent and regretful.
"Guess it's my turn..." remarked Layton, who waited for the whole hoopla to die down, as he took his pool stick and lined it up with the white cue ball. He hit the cue ball with his pool stick towards the ten-ball, securing victory as the ten-ball rolled into the nearest pocket. "Looks like I win!"
"Hurrah, three cheers for Layton!" exclaimed Slippy, going from sad to ecstatic in a snap, as he raised his fists up in the air. Whose side was that frog on? Slippy ran to Layton, giving him another hug until the detective pushed him away.
"Not again," Layton told Slippy, looking out for his insides. Slippy gave the detective an understanding nod, as he turned and walked away...only to encounter Samus and Dark Samus. Two bitter enemies, together in the gaming room. Either this was a peculiar coincidence, or someone put the two up to it.
"OH MY GOODNESS, THERE'S TWO OF YOU KNOW?!" squealed Slippy, holding his hands up to his face. Dark Samus stood there in confusion, while Samus sighed. Very deeply. "I don't know which one of you I should hug first!"
"Hug the one with the black armor, she's friendlier..." suggested Samus, as Slippy ran up to Dark Samus and gave her a big hug. "That's a good boy..." Samus said to Slippy, stealthily inching away before making her exit.
"I know this is the first time we've met, but I think I'm in love with you already..." smiled Slippy, as he looked up at Dark Samus. Poor frog was oblivious to the Charge Shot Dark Samus was building up in her cannon arm...
Morgan and Marc were back at the mansion - much to the chagrin of Robin - and the two twins were spending some quality time with their grandpa, Chrom. The prince was in the library, reading a book at a table, with Morgan and Marc seated with him.
"Those two kids are Chrom's grandkids from the future, is that right?" Ganondorf, standing between two bookshelves, quietly asked Gil, who was busy placing books back in the shelf when Ganondorf spoke to him.
"They are definitely his grandkids, alright - Lucina confirmed it," replied Gil, stepping down from a ladder he was on. "She's their mother, and Robin's their father - and Robin refuses to speak about those kids."
"You think he might be hiding a secret about them?" The thought of Robin withholding mind-blowing info about Morgan and Marc was enough to make Ganondorf smile. The fallout would be out of this world.
"What kind of secret do you think it would be?" Gil took the ladder, which had wheels, and wheeled it over to the very end of the bookshelf. "That Morgan and Marc aren't Robin's kids?"
"Or maybe, Morgan and Marc...aren't Lucina's kids." Gil was about to climb up the ladder, but that remark from Ganondorf really made him think. What if Robin had an affair with a woman other than Lucina, before marrying Lucina in the future? Gil dared not to muse over how plausible that sounded.
Ganondorf: It is very odd, come to think of it, how Morgan and Marc could be Lucina's biological kids despite having black hair. Blue hair is a very dominant trait in Marth's family tree, I've noticed. And I see little to no indication of Robin carrying a black hair gene. The stars are aligning...
"I mean, think about it - why else would Robin make every effort to avoid the twins?" asked Ganondorf, making Gil think logically and reasonably about the situation. "It's because he doesn't want to admit the truth to them, it would break their hearts."
"Considering Robin had Morgan and Marc with someone else...who do you think the twins' biological mother would be?" asked Gil, climbing up the ladder so he could place more books back in the bookshelf. "Got any wild guesses?"
"Well how am I supposed to know? I don't know Robin that well personally, and I never fought at his side during the war at Plegia. Perhaps you should ask Robin's best friend, Chrom - he might give you an answer."
"You want me to ask...to ask Chrom?" Gil nervously looked at Chrom, who was having a joyful conversation with Morgan and Marc. The de facto librarian couldn't bring himself to ask Chrom about what woman Robin had an affair with, without resulting in dire consequences.
"No you bozo...don't ask Chrom about what women Robin had feelings for. Just ask him about the women he's friends with. If he's a friend of theirs, then they're a friend of Robin. Make no mistake about it."
"Ah, okay, that's easier said than done..." Gil had some second doubts about asking Chrom, as evidenced by his nervous chuckle. Ganondorf took note of this, smiling to himself as he grinned.
"Eventually the truth will come out sooner or later - but speaking with Chrom just might speed things up a might. Just some food for thought for ya." Ganondorf grabbed the book he was looking for, as he walked away from Gil. Gil went back to putting back books on the shelf, looking at Chrom every now and then as he continued his job.
On average, the distance from Seattle to Tokyo was around 7720 kilometers. In terms of flying, the flight would last for close to ten hours, which means that Fox, Falco, and Diddy would be flying for ten hours straight! Good thing the three left for Tokyo as early as they could.
Considering how early Fox and company left, they would arrive at Japan in the late morning or early afternoon when the time zones for Japan are taken into consideration. And given how long the flight was, that meant more time for Fox to get his beauty sleep in.
"Check it out Falco, look what I brought with me!" Diddy said to the avian pilot, showing him a digital device of some sort. "My own personal handheld BluRay DVD player. I can watch all the movies I want, and then some!"
"Wow, what a flippin' amateur you are...check this out for size!" said Falco, as he took out a digital device similar to Diddy's, but bigger. "I can watch movies I wanna watch, too! INDEPENDENCE DAY ALL DAY, BABY!"
"Shhh, keep it down!" Fox awoke from his slumber, shushing Falco before going back to sleep. Fox claimed that he was gonna do something to whomever woke him up, Diddy or Falco, but maybe he was too tired to do it now.
Mega Man: Since the Harmonizer 3000 was an absolute dud, I went about making something similar to the Harmonizer, but better. That's when I made this...the Lightyear 3000! *holds up the digital device used by Falco and Diddy* Dr. Light came up with the name, obviously. This bad boy can not only play music, but BluRay movies as well. It can also help you file your taxes too. I gave Fox, Falco, and Diddy a prototype of the Lightyear 3000...got my fingers crossed that the devices don't blow up in their faces.
"I got Independence Day and Back to the Future, what movies you got?" Falco asked Diddy, who looked at the list of movies on his Lightyear 3000.
"Catwoman and the Last Airbender," replied Diddy, with a heavy sigh. Falco tried not to laugh. "I feel like I've been jipped."
"There's a bunch of other movies on my DVD player, but I felt like mentioning those two. I was just in the mood for bragging, you know? You really know how to put your own self down, Diddy."
"Hey, it's not my fault the scroll option on my thing doesn't even work...I would do some troubleshooting, but I'm not a tech expert. Really wish Mega Man could travel with us."
"So he could do what, stop some mechanical monster attacking the city?" Falco stroked his beak in thought, wondering about the plausibility of that happening. "It would make us look good if we fought alongside with Mega Man..."
"Please pipe down, you're interrupting my sleep..." grumbled Fox, as he turned over on the other side of his seat. If there was one thing Fox regretted not bringing with him, it would be a pillow.
"Bruh we weren't even talking that loud...your ears must be super sensitive." Hearing this, Fox took out his Blaster, and hurled it at Falco's face. Diddy quickly cowered, as the ever imeptious Falco got angry will quick. "You wanna fight on a plane?! Well that's what you're gonna get, mister!"
"What on earth is going on?" the stewardess from earlier asked, coming over to Fox and company. Falco got up from his seat as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to challenge Fox. Fox was asleep, so Falco already had the advantage.
"Nothing ma'am, just a false alarm!" replied Diddy, as he sat Falco back down. Falco's tempers were still at an all-time high, as the avian pilot folded his arms and went back to looking out the window. "Nothing to see here!"
"Okay then..." Taking Diddy's word for it, the stewardess walked away. Diddy sat back in his seat and sighed, hoping to make it out of the plane trip alive.
After spending some time with Layton and Luke, Peppy was now hanging out with Pit and Kirby, as the two best friends took the hare to the printing room. Why the printing room, you might ask? It was because Pit had to ask Peppy a very important question that nobody wanted to answer...
"...yes, Pit, copying items does require the use of ink," Peppy answered Pit's question, feeling easily bothered; he understood why nobody wanted to answer the angel's question. "Basically any function the printer has involves using ink!"
"Including fax?" asked Pit, sensing a slight loophole in Peppy's statement. "Because I've faxed stuff for Master Hand, and I always fax documentation to the wrong person. Was it because I wasn't using enough ink?" Pit faxing stuff? Isabelle must've been really sick around that time.
"No, it's just that you're pretty much incompetent at every little thing that you do. Living, breathing, and perhaps eating are the only activities you excel at, as harsh as it is for me to say."
"Hey, Dark Pit says the same thing to me all the time! Great minds think alike...oh wait, you were criticizing me, weren't you?"
Peppy: You can never go wrong with spending some free time away from Slippy - I will say, he's a very annoying person to be around, if there's only the two of you. Sometimes I feel more like Slippy's babysitter than a close ally of his!
"No, I was totally praising you...get a clue, young man," replied Peppy, before he saw a sheet of paper lying on the floor next to Zero's magical printer. "Wasting paper on the floor, aren't we? Scoundrels..." Peppy went over to the sheet of paper, and picked it up...noticing words on the other side of the paper.
When Peppy turned the paper over, he saw what appeared to be a letter. But it wasn't just an ordinary letter, mind you...it was something else. Peppy furrowed his brow with intrigue, as he read...
Dear Boyfriend Stealer,
I know who you are,
I know where you live,
And I know what you intend to do.
Just a little warning...Dark Pit is MINE.
Should you ever remain in love with him,
With my preciously adorable boyfriend,
By the power invested in me, I will...
Due to the malicious subject matter of the next few lines, the rest of the letter can not be shown. However, it was enough to make Peppy's eyes grow wide with horror, leaving the hare's mouth agape. The letter would finish off with something like this:
And with that being said...have a lovely day!
Sincerely, Dark Pit's girlfriend, Lilith
Even after finishing up the letter, Peppy was still shook, unable to comprehend why someone would do such things to someone else. Peppy was so shook, that he failed to notice Pit and Kirby standing next to him, reading the letter.
"Wow Peppy, I didn't know that you wanna kill a boyfriend stealer," remarked Pit, as he was reading through the letter. Surprisingly, the angel made it past half the letter without fail - what an achievement. "You really know how to look out for someone!"
"I don't think Peppy wants to kill his 'boyfriend stealer', Pit," said Kirby, who had just finished reading the letter while Pit was catching up. "This was a letter written by Lilith - I believe she's coming after Flora!"
"You wanna kill Flora, Peppy?" Pit asked the hare, who looked at the angel like he was dumber than a stack of hay. Which was very disputable. "I had no idea you were about that life! Got a secret life outside of Star Fox, I bet!"
Pit: It's always the quiet, unassuming ones that have the darkest secrets. With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Meta Knight was a high-riding pimp from New Orleans. He's got the signature look down pat, I think. All he needs is a cane.
"Please excuse my ignorance, but who is Flora?" Peppy asked Pit and Kirby; when the hare saw Flora's name, he immediately thought of Fiora. Not a very dishonest mistake; both names were similar. "Is she new? It's hard for me to keep up with everyone living under this roof."
"Flora is a maid from the kingdom of Nohr, who came to the mansion along with her twin sister Felicia last year," explained Kirby - at least Peppy has heard of the kingdom of Nohr. If he didn't...his loss. "Corrin and Kamui both know her very well."
"And Lilith is a succubus along with her sister Morrigan? I've heard that name before, though I can't exactly remember from where."
"Yes, she and Morrigan run a tattoo shop in town along with that cat girl Felicia." Peppy gave Kirby an inquisitive look upon hearing this. "...it was one of the newer establishments in Seattle. A very fitting job for them, doing tattoos..."
"Wait a darn minute, I think I've figured it out..." said Pit with very wide eyes, like he discovered a mind-blowing theory about the universe. "...this letter...is a letter from Lilith...she wants to kill Flora for being in love with Dark Pit, whom she has a crush on!"
"D-Did he finally use his brain for something useful?" Peppy asked Kirby, as both the hare and the puffball were left in surprise. Pit nodded his head, seemingly proud of the conclusion he had (finally) come to.
"Yeah but it doesn't happen that often, it's a once in a blue moon type of thing," replied Kirby. To be fair, the statement Pit just said wasn't worth much - it was an inference anyone would make from reading that letter.
Speaking of that letter, how did it find its way to the printing room? Did it belong to someone?
The letter did in fact belong to someone - Snake, who was last seen with the letter back in episode 148. The former spy was chilling outside the beauty salon - not trying to woo the ladies, but rather trimming his beard with a small shaver. Cloud caught Snake in the act, as the former spy was shaving and looking at himself through a small mirror at the same time.
"A weird place to be shaving your beard," Cloud said to Snake, who stopped shaving as he looked at Cloud. Snake didn't take being questioned very lightly. "I take it all the bathrooms were taken?"
"No, it's just that I wanted to shave in the comfort of my room," replied Snake, as he resumed shaving his beard, trying not to shave as much off. "Bayonetta is constantly giving me crap about my facial hair, so I had to go elsewhere."
"You had to go elsewhere, other than the bathroom where you could have all the privacy you want and then some." The more questions asked to Snake, the faster the former spy's temper grew, as he gritted his teeth.
"People are always going into the bathroom, you know? I don't wanna be a jerk and hold them up. And I don't want my hair all over the bathroom sink. That's just poor hygiene. I'm not about that."
"You're getting hair clippings all over the floor." Snake looked down, and saw the hair clippings on the hardwood floor, as Cloud mentioned. The new hardwood floor, which Master Hand purchased with the surplus of money.
"Meh, someone will clean that up...now will you please get along and let a man shave in peace? You're a little distracting..."
"Whatever keeps you from getting angry..." shrugged Cloud, as the entered the beauty salon, where his girlfriend Aerith possibly belied.
Snake: I didn't really escape from my bedroom to shave in peace...Bayonetta was annoying the crap out of me, yes, but that wasn't the only reason for my leave. I had left because I wanted to have a word with Flora, in private...mainly about that zany Lilith chick. That's why I'm shaving my beard, so that when Flora notices me and scolds me for littering my hair unto the floor, I'll let her come over, and tell her what she needs to know. That girl better show up soon, or I'm gonna shave off my entire beard...I can't go beardless again. Having a beard makes me feel like a complete man. You know it's true, ladies. *winks at the camera*
When Cloud entered the beauty salon, he expected Aerith to be braiding someone's hair, since she was good at that kind of thing. Her hair was a long braid, after all. But when Cloud saw the flower girl, he sighed depressingly when she was giving a back rub...to Slippy.
"Enjoying the back rub so far?" Aerith asked Slippy, who gave a relaxed sigh as he was resting stomach-first on the massaging bed. It was like all of the frog's cares and concerns were dashed away, as Aerith moved her hands along his back.
"You're darn right I am...keep it coming, mama!" replied Slippy, as a triggered Cloud marched up to Aerith with a frown. He couldn't believe that his girlfriend took that remark from Slippy with stride; he expected Aerith to be furious.
"Oh, hello Cloud, didn't see you there," Aerith smiled at the blonde swordsman, who didn't look happy. In fact, Cloud seldom looked happy anytime at all. His face must hurt from having the same facial expression 24/7.
"Slippy just referred to you as 'mama', that's not cool," stated Cloud, cringing a little when he said the word 'mama'. He didn't understand why saying that word bothered him so. "You should've put him in his place, that's what I would've done if I were you, Aerith."
"Put him in his place for what? I see nothing wrong with what Slippy had said. Besides, how could you be so critical of such a lovable frog like him? I know that you aren't a people person, Cloud, but you should show some respect every now and then."
"Congratulations of being the only person in this mansion that likes Slippy..." Cloud evidently wasn't around when several ladies put some respect on Slippy's name back in episode 3. Before the swordsman could continue on, Sora jumped on him from behind, hugging his upper body.
"Cloud, my man, what's up?" Sora asked the swordsman, who aggressively grabbed the Keyblade wielder's arms as he tossed him unto the floor. "What's the matter, you're feeling ticked off? Could've given me a warning, you know!"
Sora: I was told that Knuckles that in order for Cloud to be more friendly with me, I must be more friendly with him. One thing Knuckles suggested I should do was grab Cloud from behind, when he least expects it, because "most guys like that stuff". But sadly, it didn't work...perhaps I was tugging on Cloud too tight. Maybe that's why he threw me off.
"Were you trying to put me in a chokehold or something?" Cloud questioned Sora, who was rubbing his shin. He landed on the floor pretty hard. "I think it should've been you who gave a warning."
"Whoever said I was, I was greeting you in the friendliest way possible!" smiled Sora, as he confidently stood back up. Nothing could bring him down. "I expected you to be all smiles and stuff, but clearly I've failed..."
"Well I'm not even a terribly happy person, so you would've failed regardless. Given how much you follow me around, I thought you knew that already..."
"There you are Slippy, we're all done!" announced Aerith, as Slippy sat up on the massaging bed. He hopped down from the bed, oblivious to Cloud who was glaring at him. Cloud couldn't believe Aerith laid her hands on that annoying frog's back.
"Much appreciated, Miss Gainsborough!" thanked Slippy, grabbing his cap from the massaging bed and placing it back on his head. After he did that, he saw Sora, whom he had never saw before, and squealed with delight. "Who are you?" Slippy asked Sora.
"Glad you asked - I'm Sora, Keyblade wielder and one of Cloud's best friends!" replied Sora, pointing his thumb at himself; Cloud looked away, facepalming. "Nice to meet ya, buddy!"
"Woah, I didn't know Cloud had friends! Always imagined him to be the lonely type. But to be fair, he does have a girlfriend..." Not wanting to hear anymore, Cloud walked away, still facepalming. "So what's a Keyblade, what does it do?"
"The Keyblade? It's just a magical blade used to defeat monsters. Like this..." Sora took out his Keyblade, and showed it off for Slippy to see. Slippy was super-excited, clapping happily to himself while jumping up and down.
"What an awesome-looking blade! Can I wield it, please? Pretty please? I beg of you, just this once!" An unwritten rule for Keyblade wielders like Sora - NEVER let someone touch your Keyblade. Unless they were a pirate, maybe.
"I mean I would love to let you use it, but as a Keyblade wielder, I'm not allowed to..." Before Sora could even finish, Slippy grabbed the Keyblade from him without warning, and started swinging with it like a madman. Sora and Aerith made sure to keep their distance.
"Aw yeah, look at me, I'm the king of the world!" Slippy continued to swing the Keyblade around, as he ran out of the beauty salon. Since the Keyblade was magical, Sora expected the blade to return to his hand in no time...thing is, he was in a different universe, where the rules didn't apply.
"Wait, get back here with my Keyblade!" Sora called out to Slippy, as he chased after the frog. Cloud felt relieved that both of his nuisances were gone.
"Man, I'd really hate to see what a friendship between those two would look like," the swordsman remarked, shaking his head at the very thought of it.
Master Hand: Do I know how long Fox, Falco, and Diddy will remain in Japan? Honestly I have no clue, but they better bring their butts back before next Friday. That's when the new brawlers will arrive, and I expect everyone to be in full attendance. Showing up shows me and everyone else - but most importantly, me - that you care. No way I'm letting Fox Skype the whole meeting, nobody's got time for that!
Fox, Falco, and Diddy were still up in the plane, during a plane ride that almost felt like forever. With Fox getting his beauty sleep in, Falco and Diddy watched movies on their Lightyear 3000s, to keep them from feeling bored.
"Attention everyone, we have an important announcement," a voice was heard from the overhead speakers, grabbing the attention of everyone in the plane. "We are to have an emergency landing soon. I repeat, we are having an emergency landing."
"An emergency landing?" questioned Falco, who was wondering about the severity of the situation. An emergency landing was never good. "For what reason?"
"It has been brought to our attention that this plane is running low on fuel, due to a nearly empty tank prior to takeoff. (I told that Dave to refill the plane's tank before takeoff...Lord knows that man can't listen...) Please disregard what you just heard, everyone. We're going to land soon, so everyone stay tight!"
"Yo, Fox, wake up!" Falco reached over to his best friend and tapped him on the shoulder. Awoken from his slumber once more, Fox took off his sleeping mask, as he glared down Falco.
"You better have a good reason for waking me up this time," murmured Fox, who like anyone woken up from a nap felt a bit groggy. "And it better not be some dumb legendary Pokemon flying in the sky, that won't work on me."
"The person on the overhead speakers just announced that this plane has to take an emergency landing." Fox's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Said that it was because of a low tank, or something."
"Is this emergency landing a good thing, or a bad thing?" Falco couldn't believe Fox asked him that - knowing Fox's grogginess could be the one to blame.
"it's an emergency landing...what do you think it means?" Falco's focus went from Fox to Diddy, who was texting away furiously on his cellphone. "Who are you possibly texting during this time? You think we're gonna die or something?"
"I'm just...texting a girl about the emergency landing," replied Diddy, as Fox and Falco both raised their eyebrows, both having a feeling for who this girl was. "Don't mind me..."
"He's definitely texting Dixie Kong," Fox said to Falco, who nodded his head with a slight smirk. Diddy was also smirking, but obviously for a different reason...
As stated by Master Hand earlier, there would be new additions to the mansion - those new additions also being added to the Smash roster. Making preparations for the newbies, Master Hand was making welcoming gift baskets in his room, singing a tune as he went along.
"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch, you really are a heel..." the giant hand sang, albeit in a very mocking tone - like he was singing a song for a person he wanted to embarrass real bad. "You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. GRIIIIIIIINNNCH!"
Ema: Yeah, Master Hand has strangely been singing Mr. Grinch songs lately, but always in a mocking tone. Stranger than that, he barred everyone from watching that new Grinch movie, when it comes out next week. I would ask Master Hand about his sudden...beef, if you will, with a fictional Dr. Seuss character, but I'm hardly in the mood for hearing a long lecture of his.
"You're a bad banana with a greasy black peeeeeeeeeel!" Master Hand continued to singing, hitting the high note while maintaining the seething tone in his voice. As he continued to sing, Peppy entered the room, holding the letter he found earlier.
"Master Hand, do you have a minute?" asked Peppy, making the giant hand stop singing. Master Hand soon began to vibrate, most likely filled with anger. Which was rather odd. "...Master Hand?"
"I know who you are, and now I must ask you...WHAT IN THE NAME OF MASAHIRO SAKURAI IS WRONG WITH YOU?! How dare you spread lies, you absolute..." Master Hand turned around, pointing with his index finger, only to pull his finger back when he saw Peppy. "...oh, it's you again, Peppy. Thought you were the Grinch."
"The Grinch?" Peppy raised an eyebrow at Master Hand, before breaking into a laughing fit. "Oh Master Hand, you must be sorely mistaken. I'm far from whatever the Grinch is! Why you would have such wrath towards someone like the Grinch is beyond my understanding."
"What animosity? My thing with the Grinch is...well it's a long story. Only Isabelle knows about it - and I've forbidden her from telling anyone else. So what's that you got in your hand? A letter detailing how truly awesome I am? Peppy Hare, you shouldn't have! Stop it!"
"It is a letter...but not one written for you." Master Hand felt so very disappointed. "It was written for one of the maids in the mansion."
"Ah yes, Flora and Felicia! The twin maids from Nohr! They've been killing it while on maid duty, although Flora would beg to differ." Just then, a perverse thought entered Master Hand's mind. "...are you in love with Flora?! Wow Peppy, way to let yourself go...don't know how Dark Pit would feel about that."
"Wait Master Hand, there's more! I wasn't the one who wrote the letter...it was written by Lilith, a succubus who works at the new tattoo parlor in town. Pit and Kirby told me about her."
"Yeah, her, that chick...still can't believe there's TWO girls out there that like Dark Pit. That should be written in the Guinness Book of World Records or something. May I read the letter?"
Sure you can. Some of the details are a little...out there, so the letter might be bordering on being not safe for life." Peppy handed Master Hand the letter, as he headed to the door.
"You underestimate me too much Peppy, nothing is ever not safe for life with..." Master Hand started to read the letter, trailing off when he got to the juicy parts. "...with me." In a rare instance, Master Hand shuddered.
"Don't say I didn't warn you..." Peppy had this to say to Master Hand, as he left the room. Once he finished reading, Master Hand dropped the letter unto the floor, shivering. Was he scared?
Master Hand: Someone on this planet...in this universe...is trying to outdo me in committing malicious acts! How can that even be possible? Lilith, I have no clue where you are or what you're doing right now, but hear me out...you're about to the mess with the WRONG HAND! Never bite the hand that can kill you!
Chrom exited from the library, with his future grandkids Morgan and Marc standing at his side. The three wouldn't get that far when Sora passed them by, on the run.
"Hey Chrom, have you and your grandkids seen a frog anywhere?" the Keyblade wielder asked the prince, running in place to keep his momentum intact. "He practically stole me Keyblade, and he's going about swinging it like he owns it!"
"No we haven't seen any frog anywhere..." replied Chrom, before furrowing his brow. "...you don't mean Slippy Toad, do you?" Chrom remembered Slippy Toad fondly - how the frog was constantly gushing over him and hugging him. Brought back very bad memories.
"That's his name, Slippy Toad? Yeah, I think it was him - he snatched away my Keyblade when I was showing it to him. If you see him anywhere, let me know, alright? Gotta have my Keyblade at all times, you know!"
"I know exactly how you feel, Sora - I feel like having my Falchion on my waist is an obligation of mine. Without it, I wouldn't feel like the prince of Yliesse! You have no idea how much wielding and carrying that sword means to me, what with being Marth's descendant."
"GIVE IT UP SLIPPY, YOUR REIGN OF TYRANNY ENDS RIGHT NOW!" shouted a kid, his voice heard from down the hallway. Sounded like Toon Link. Curious, Chrom and company went down to the end of the hallway, where they found Slippy getting beat up by the buddy cops - Toon Link and Young Link.
"Hey, there's my Keyblade!" exclaimed Sora, seeing his blade a few feet away from the ganged upon Slippy. The buddy cops attacked relentlessly, as Slippy could do nothing but cover his head.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to steal his Keyblade!" apologized Slippy, as Toon Link and Young Link attacked him with their Master Swords. "I just thought it looked cool! It was so big and..."
"You know what else is cool? Fox's Blaster!" retorted Young Link, as he put Slippy in a strangle hold. The more Slippy tapped out, the more strength Young Link on the strangle hold. "I don't see you shooting away with that thing!"
"Why would I, I already have my own Blaster in my pocket! And besides, Fox is flying to Japan - I'm just 'filling in' for him until he and Falco returns!"
"This frog admitted to carrying a firearms in his pocket!" Toon Link accusingly pointed at Slippy, as he took out a pair of handcuffs. "Cuff him up, Hutch!" The Hylian tossed the handcuffs to Young Link, who cuffed Slippy right away.
Toon Link: Fox, Falco, and Samus having guns in the mansion is far, far different from Slippy owning one. At least those three aren't outsiders. Who knows what Slippy is capable of.
"Isn't arresting him a bit too much?" asked Sora, as the buddy cops helped Slippy off the floor. "All he did was steal my Keyblade - Master Hand could just talk some sense into him."
"True dat, but Slippy is a repeat offender, believe it or not," said Young Link, as he held Slippy's hands behind his back. The sight of seeing Slippy in handcuffs would be enough to make the people that despised him smile. "He got exactly what was coming for him."
"How am I a repeat offender, I never did anything wrong!" frowned Slippy. "Well, I did get a lot of speeding tickets while flying around in my Arwing in Corneria, but other than that...OW!" Toon Link poked Slippy with his sword, shutting him up immediately.
"You know what you did, Slippy Toad!" Toon Link snapped, putting Slippy in his place. "Your reign of tyranny, irritating the residents and annoying them to the brink of despair, has driven countless of folk to depression, and even made them think about suicide!" Committing suicide because of an annoying frog would be a shameful thing to do. "For that reason alone, you're coming with us!"
"But I didn't do anything! Me stealing that Keyblade, I was just, caught up in the moment that's all!" The buddy cops ignored Slippy, as they took the frog to their police office. As they walked away, Chrom grabbed Sora's Keyblde off the floor, handing it back to Sora.
"I do believe this is yours," the prince said to the Keyblade wielder, happy to get his trusty blade back.
Due to an emergency landing taken by the plane, Fox, Falco, Diddy, and the rest of the passengers found themselves stranded on a remote island, far away from Japan. While everyone was grateful to be alive, Japan was still but many, many miles away.
"This sucks, we're never gonna rescue DK now," said a frustrated Fox, as the plane crew was checking out the plane's fuel tank. "We all know neither of us can swim - almost drowned during my last attempt."
"I've seen Diddy do some swimming before; he could swim us to Tokyo, while we chill out on a boat attached to him or something," suggested Falco, before looking around for Diddy. "Where the heck is Diddy, anyways?"
"On the phone with the 'girl', most likely Dixie." Fox and Falco saw Diddy come towards them, speaking with someone on his cellphone. "Or it could be Cranky Kong. Last week when Diddy claimed he was speaking with his best friend, he was actually talking to Cranky, who was bothering him about some stupid phone bill."
"Cranky Kong and the phone bill...can't think of a more iconic duo." Diddy approached Fox and Falco, just when he finished his phone call. "You done talking with your girlfriend Dixie?"
"I wasn't speaking with Dixie...I was speaking with someone else," replied Diddy, making Fox and Falco feel very skeptical. And also very curious.
"You're cheating on Dixie with another chick?" assumed Fox; Diddy felt like laughing at Fox, for coming to such an asinine conclusion. "Is there another female Kong we don't know about? Why do I feel like your family lowkey promotes incest?"
"I wouldn't say that I'm cheating..." Suddenly, everyone looked up when a red spaceship flew overheard. Fox, Falco, and Diddy looked up with everyone else, as the spaceship slowly descended unto the island.
Did the red spaceship ring a bell? It certainly did with Fox and Falco, who saw the spaceship from last week. Once the spaceship landed, the hatch opened, and a familiar face appeared from out of it...Calisto Chase de Silva, also known as Chase.
"Hola chicos!" the Brazilian racer greeted, as she waved to everyone. Fox and Falco had their mouths agape, as they looked at Diddy...who was all smiles.
"I got her contact information before she headed back out to space," the spidermonkey stated in a bragging tone, as he walked over to Chase's spaceship. "The thought that counts..."
Diddy: Donkey Kong's gonna be so proud of me for how fly I am with the ladies, when I see him again.
"What are you two waiting on, we're never getting to Tokyo with you two standing around like that," Diddy said to the dumbfounded Fox and Falco, who shook off their shook faces as they followed Diddy to the spaceship.
"Glad I received your text, Diddy - otherwise you would've been in deep trouble!" smirked Chase, as Diddy could only smile in response. "Come on in, I've got enough room for you and your friends! And the camera people as well...either way, we'll be in Tokyo in a snap!"
"Sweet! We really appreciated it!" Diddy hopped inside Chase's spaceship, as Fox and Falco would soon follow suit. But before they coudl enter in, Chase stopped the pilots, giving them a stern look.
"Mess with my spaceship again and I'll mess you boys up even more..." the Brazilian threatened Fox and Falco, who both nodded their heads in a frantic, nervous manner. Chase didn't look like the one to play around.
"Whatever you says goes, chief," replied Fox, as Chase hopped back inside the spaceship. Once the cameramen entered the spaceship, Chase took off, speeding away and leaving everyone else on the island behind. Their isolation would make for a great national story, though.
Slippy sat in the buddy cops' office, still handcuffed while tied up to a chair. On the buddy cops' board of suspects were pictures of the new fighters in Smash - the female Inkling as "the original Futaba Sakura", the male Inkling as "Possible Harem Pants Fetishist", Daisy as "Trophy Mom", Ridley as "Mutated Spyro", Simon as "He-Man", Richter as "Forgotten Grease Cast Member", Chrom as "Google Chrom", Dark Samus as "Edgy Samus", King K. Rool as "Obese Wally Gator", and Isabelle as "Designated Packmule". Expect that board to include more names after next week.
"Please let me go, I've learned my lesson!" pleaded Slippy, as Toon Link and Young Link circled around him, like a group of vultures circling around their prey. "I promise I won't steal someone's weapon again!" Toon Link slapped Slippy silly - try saying those last three words fast!
"You've learned your lesson when we say you've learned your lesson," stated Toon Link, as Slippy felt an oddly warm sensation between his thighs. "Got it, buster?" Slippy nodded his head, wanting this interrogation to end soon.
"Now, tell us...who is your leader, who are you working for?" asked Young Link, hoping to pry a substantial answer out of Slippy. He knew it would be hard, yet at the same time totally worth the effort.
"I work for no one! I'm just a lowly pilot from the Star Fox crew..." Young Link didn't believe Slippy, as he slapped the frog with the same aggression as Toon Link.
"False! We know you're a double agent...you're secretly working for Organization XIII, aren't you? They got you like how they got Ema, didn't they?
"No I've never worked for them! I don't even know who they are, the only news I get is from my Switch! You didn't ask that because I took that Keyblade, did you?"
"Well nobody steals someone's prized possession for no reason," stated Toon Link, seeing the sweat run down Slippy's face. Seeing it made the Hylian feel dominant and powerful. "We know your true intentions, Slippy..."
"You don't, you don't know my true intentions! I'm innocent, I tell you, why can't you believe me? I've promised enough times already, why can't you..."
"Slippy, I found you!" shouted a certain hare, as he opened the door to the police office. Standing at the doorway was Peppy, with Zelda at his side. "Well, Zelda found you, since she led me to the place...but I'm still taking credit!"
Peppy: Today has been a very eventful day for me. King K. Rool challenged me to a game of table tennis. Cilan made me a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls. And better yet, Samus gave me actual eye contact. She even gave me a smile! Sure beats any regular day in Corneria...
"Toon Link, Young Link, let Slippy go," ordered Zelda, as the buddy cops looked at the princess like she was crazy. Was she out of her mind?
"No way, Slippy is a repeat offender," stated Toon Link, ashamed that Zelda didn't know this information beforehand. "It's only fair that we interrogate him and..."
"I said let Slippy go. Now." Knowing it was rude to disobey a princess - a descendant of Hylia herself - the buddy cops sighed as the untied Slippy, and took the handcuffs off of him. Happy to be free, Slippy smiled as he hopped out of the chair, and headed over to Peppy and Zelda.
"Thanks a ton, Zelda," Slippy thanked the princess, feeling like he should bow to her or do something formal. "You're always looking out for me."
"Don't mention it," smiled Zelda, before leaning in to Slippy's face and kissing the frog on the cheek. Didn't even look around to see if Link was nearby. Slippy was smiling like a drunkard, ready to faint at any minute.
"Say, princess, didn't you mention something about Mario and Peach having a baby?" Peppy asked Zelda, as Slippy eventually fainted to the floor. "Mind if Slippy and I take a peek?" Letting Slippy near a baby could always go wrong.
...unless it always goes right. As was the case, when Slippy was in Mario's house holding Jennifer like a pro. Mario and Peach proudly stood by and watched, with Mario assuring Peach that Slippy wouldn't hurt their precious little girl.
"Who's a cute little girl, who's a cute little girl..." grinned Slippy, as he rubbed his nose against Jennifer's. Peach twitched her eye a little, believing that Slippy was a little too close for contact. Peppy stood behind Peppy, patiently waiting for his chance to hold Jennifer.
"Someone else would love to hold the baby," the hare said, but Slippy ignored him as the frog went back to rocking Jennifer in his arms. Looks like Slippy found himself a BFF. At least Jennifer understood Slippy...with her infantile intellect.
"Aw, Jennifer, you're so sweet...you're as sweet as candy! I could just lick you all up, and eat you in a million pieces!"
"I think you've held her enough," Peach smiled concerning as she snatched Jennifer away from Slippy, before handing her to Peppy. "Here you go, Mr. Hare!" Peppy gladly took Jennifer from Peach, smiling to himself as he cradled Jennifer in his arms.
"It's like, holding a grandchild...almost makes me wish I had children myself!" remarked Peppy, relishing in the moment for as long as it lasted. Peach went back to Mario, wanting to ask her husband a question.
"Do you know how long Slippy and Peppy will be staying?" the princess whispered to Mario, as Peppy walked around with Jennifer. Slippy followed the hare around, wanting to hold Jennifer for only a bit more.
"They'll be staying around-a until Fox and Falco return from-a Japan," replied Mario, appreciating the break from Fox and Falco's shenanigans. "Got no clue how-a long they'll stay..."
Fox, Falco, and Diddy finally arrived in Tokyo, as Chase landed her spaceship in Tokyo's main square. The hatch to the spaceship opened, and Fox and Falco hopped out, in style.
"Tokyo, Japan...Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi have arrived!" announced Fox, to nobody in particular. Most of the denizens just looked at Fox and Falco, before continuing on their merry way.
"Way to let the pilot of the spaceship make their exit first," scoffed Chase, as she hopped out of her spaceship, followed by Diddy. "Is that not proper etiquette?"
Chase: I'll be stuck in Japan for a foreseeable future, being that Diddy and his friends have no way back home...so I'll use the earnings I won from my racing expenditures to find those three a place to stay. You can catch me flying around in my ship whenever Diddy gives me the call.
"Proper etiquette is too mainstream, and is therefore seen as obsolete in the eyes of..." started Fox, before looking out in the distance and seeing a certain gorilla being mobbed by a crowd. "Is that...is that who I think it is?"
Needing a better look, Fox walked closer to the crowd, as Falco, Diddy, and Chase followed after him. The people in this crowd were loud and boisterous, begging for autographs. Fox saw an opening in the crowd and went though, and that's when he and the others saw...
"DONKEY KONG!" exclaimed Diddy, as the spidermonkey saw his uncle in plain sight. The gorilla was all smiles, wearing sunglasses as he was signing autographs left and right. After signing the last autograph, Donkey Kong looked up, and saw Diddy and company.
"Diddy, my nephew, you've made it!" the gorilla exclaimed, now even happier than before. Nothing like family to raise your spirits higher. "Fox and Falco, you made it too! Missed you guys so much!"
"I've waited so long to..." Just when Diddy started walking towards Donkey Kong, a woman grabbed DK's hand and pulled him away. It was Maiko Shimazaki, the woman pretty much kidnapped Donkey Kong and brought him to Japan.
"We have some important business to attend to, my friend..." the woman said to DK, shooting a distasteful glare at Diddy, Fox, and Falco as she walked away with the swiftness. Diddy followed after Maiko, though Fox and Falco were much quicker.
"You get back here, Miss Shimazaki!" Fox called out to Maiko, only for the crowd to run over him, Falco, and Diddy as they ran after Donkey Kong wanting more autographs. Fox and company helped themselves off the ground, as Chase came over.
"Sounds like you three got yourselves quite a pickle on your hands," the Brazilian remarked, as Fox angrily took out his cellphone and dialed a number. Fox didn't want to believe it, but Maiko essentially declared war on him and his bros...war over Donkey Kong.
"Hello, Ayaha?" said Fox after someone answered the call. Ayaha, just the person he wanted to speak with. "Let Master Hand know we're gonna stay in Tokyo for the time being...yeah, sure, I'll hold."
As Fox was on the phone, with Diddy distressed and Falco ticked as ever, a sharply dressed man in a white suit spied on the three from afar...
