Author's Note:

Only a few guest reviews to answer, so let's get to it!

"Can you add the Giana Sisters? (Since they basically ripped off the Mario Bros. But had a game on the DS and Wii-U.) can you also include the other Xenosaga characters, Shion, MOMO, Chaos, and Jr.? Finally, will the other Fire Emblem characters such as Say'ri, Tiki, Gangrel, Walhart, and Emmeryn show up as well?"

Yes to the Giana Sisters and Fire Emblem Awakening characters, maybe to the Xenosaga characters. Another guest review, from the person who requested a chapter with Sonic and Bowser:

"I really like 64 w bowser and sonic but now can you do a sonic and deeded one"

Ha ha, figured you would say this...your wish is my command, it shall be granted next week. Last up is Derick Lindsey:

"One last suggestion then I won't bother you with suggestions for three weeks/chapters has any one made a suggestion where Yoshi finds magic/possessed simulator or book that makes his shipping's occur in real life, like two people that he pairs up actually get together and either he goes mad with power or sees how much damage he caused tries to destroy the simulator/book and gives up on pairing people together? (Sorry for not saying this in a shorter way or easier way to understand it but hopefully you get the gist of it.)"

MegaHeracross2.1 suggested this a while back, a scenario where Yoshi made his strange pairings come to life. I shall make this happen next week, along with Sonic and King Dedede.


Episode 66: Orbicular

Just last week ago, perhaps one of the greatest days in the lives of both Luigi and Daisy occurred - the day in which the couple's first son, Charles, was born. It was a day celebrated by not only Luigi, Daisy, and Mario (as well as Mario's future wife, Peach), but by Master Hand and all the residents in the mansion, many of whom got to see baby Charles for the first time last week in the hospital.

When Luigi and Daisy returned to their lovely home on Jacky's ride, they returned with a strong sense of happiness, gratitude, and whole bunch of other positive feelings. The couple, along with resident ninja Yuffie, would spend the next week caring for sweet little Charles, with Daisy breastfeeding Charles, Luigi playing with Charles, and Yuffie babysitting Charles while Luigi and/or Daisy were away. It was thanks to the ninja girl that Charles grew acclimated to Polterpup, the ghostly dog that the poor baby was initially afraid of.

Yuffie would have another time of babysitting to spend with Charles, when Luigi and Daisy told the ninja that they were going on a bit of a "shopping excursion" to shop for some new furniture and whatnot for their home. Lillie de Rochefort, who had already given Luigi monetary supplements in the past, gave the plumber some cold hard cash in the mail days after Charles's birth, likely as a celebratory stipend. To ensure Yuffie wouldn't be bored all by herself, Luigi hired three folks to lend the ninja girl some aid in babysitting Charles.

"I just-a knew three would-a come around, especially you-a Mario," Luigi said to Mario, Pit, and Viridi as he walked the three inside his home, while Daisy was getting ready and all. "You wouldn't say-a no to anything, you're that-a kind of guy!"

"I'm pretty sure Mario agreed to this by default simply because he's your brother," stated Viridi, after Luigi closed the door behind her and the others. Pretty weird for the goddess of nature to be babysitting a human baby, given her great disdain for the human race.

Viridi: Why am I involved in the babysitting of Charles, you might ask, despite my hatred for humans? It's because Charles is but a one-week infant, he's too young to know about how much I dislike humans (sans Lady Gaga, of course), and therefore I shall give him a pass. Once Charles reaches the age of four, I shall greatly despise him until the very end!

"Yuffie where are-a you, are you taking good-a care of Charles?" Luigi called out to Yuffie, wherever she may be, the plumber's unusually loud voice resonating throughout the entire household. Luigi and Daisy had doubted Yuffie and her babysitting prowess, but the ninja girl surprised the couple with how well she was able to keep Charles's temperament down, and how she effortlessly changed Charles's diaper, a task the ninja greatly despised for many good reasons. Luigi and Daisy should have known better than to doubt a peppy ninja girl who did nothing but lounge around the house and eat up all the food in their kitchen.

"Shhh, don't be so loud, he's fast asleep..." Yuffie shushed Luigi as she stepped out from the nursery room, holding Charles in her arm, before her eyes fell upon Mario and company, standing with Luigi. "Oh hey there, Mario and others, you came to see the baby?" The ninja girl who told Luigi to be quiet suddenly spoke up rather loudly, and it caused Charles to wake up and cry his baby eyes out.

"WAAAAAH, WAAAAAH, WAAAAAH!" wailed Charles as he did a cry similar to Baby Mario's, while Yuffie did her best to calm the baby down. You know that you secretly loved that lovely sound of Baby Mario crying his cares away in Yoshi's Story, don't even try and deny it.

"What on earth is going on, who made Charles cry?!" questioned Daisy as he ran down the stairs in her trademark yellow dress. The princess arrived at the living room, looking at Yuffie; the ninja pointed at Luigi, who then pointed back at Yuffie. It didn't require rocket science for Daisy to find out the culprit. "Yuffie I know it was you, I bet you probably yelled so loud you woke up Charles and made him cry! My sweet Luigi would never do such a thing, for he scarcely yells!"

"B-B-But Luigi was yelling throughout the entire household not too long ago, did you not hear him?!" questioned Yuffie, but Daisy remained a woman of his word as she walked past Yuffie, taking a crying Charles out from the ninja's arms as she made her way to greet Mario and company.

"Great seeing you three here, haven't seen your lovely faces ever since the barbecue! Well, except for you Mario, you have been a great brother-in-law, as always...I take it you three came here to join Yuffie in some babysitting?"

"Yeah, we came to babysit good ol' Charles, she'll be just find while you and Luigi are away!" exclaimed Pit, the angel apparently still very much unaware that Charles is a boy, and not a girl. This fact was enough to make Viridi sigh at her boyfriend's stupidity, and for Mario, Luigi, Daisy, ad Yuffie to look down at the floor with some remorse. "You know, since she's a girl, we should call Charles 'Charlie' like that girl from 'Good Luck Charlie'," Pit would whisper this to Viridi, who sighed yet again as Charles's crying finally ceased.

Pit: Good Luck Charlie was a truly great Disney show, a show so great that Disney Channel was left with no other choice but to air reruns on their channel to this very day for people like myself who crave nostalgia. Though it's a darn shame that Viridi never enjoyed that show as much as I did...Apparently she's not a fan of shows like Friends, Cheers, Seinfeld, and other shows that typically display humans in a positive light and feature them facing everyday problems. She would rather watch that awkward aardvark dude with the glasses from Arthur punch innocent kindergartners to the ground over Jerry Seinfeld dealing with the hectic city life of New York City. Speaking of whom, what was the name of the aardvark, and why did he randomly punch that littler aardvark girl to the ground? Did he not know about what the feminists would do to him for punching little girls?

"Pit I thought we already discussed this back at the hospital - Charles is a male baby," Daisy had to correct Pit for the nth time. Pit had asked some of his fellow brawlers after they had seen Charles if the baby was female, and many of them refused to entertain the angel any longer and ignored him.

"How can Charles not be a girl, I mean, you both have similar hair colors!" stated Pit, using perhaps his one and only argument for why Charles was considered a girl to him - and what a lousy argument it was.

"Just because Charles and I have the same hair color does not make Charles a girl. He just inherited a few genes from me, that's all. It's called genetics, Pit - explains why some people are the way they are." Unfortunately genetics fell under the area of biology, and as you have learned in the past, Pit and biology don't necessarily go hand in hand. It's one of the many, many things Pit is inept at.

"Well, Luigi and I should be going now, the furniture can't buy itself! Oh how convenient that would be..." Daisy would hand Charles off to Mario, as she and Luigi headed out of the front door. "Luigi and I should be back after a good while. I want nothing bad to happen to Charles, you hear me?" Knowing what Daisy was truly capable of doing, Mario and company nodded their heads in an affirming manner. A very upset Daisy would very much equate to a bunch of heads that were gonna roll, with Luigi probably doing nothing but restrain his wife. He had never really seen Daisy vehemently angry before, and the plumber wished to keep that way.

"You folks-a have a good time-a with Charles, good bye-a now!" Luigi waved to Mario and company as he and Daisy left to do some shopping. Once the plumber and his wife departed, Charles went back to crying, much to the chagrin of his babysitters. So much for starting this babysitting on a somewhat positive note...

"It's sure a good-a thing that I have some-a experience of dealing with-a babies," remarked Mario, recollecting that one time he and Luigi worked with their baby counterparts to thwart a Shroob invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. Those babies were afraid of nothin', and only time would tell if Charles would be as fearless.


Fox and Falco stood in the Star Records room, with Knuckles, Little Mac, Doc Louis, and the seven newest recruits - Itsuki, Tsubasa, Touma, Eleonora, Kiria, Mamori, and Yashiro, all having been signed away from Fortuna Entertainment. Thanks to a move enacted by two Fortuna staff members, Ayaha Oribe and Barry Goodman - the latter staying in Japan to study the otaku subculture - Fortuna Entertainment merged with Star Records, and in doing so, brought Ayaha, Tsubasa's older sister, to the Smash Mansion to serve as a secretary for Fox, Falco, and Itsuki.

Ayaha: Thanks to a deal I negotiated on the phone earlier in the week with Star Records owners Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi, Fortuna Entertainment has merged with the recording company in Seattle, and I've been granted permission to serve my secretary duties at the Smash Mansion, the current location of Star Records, since we all know I can't do my job away from the company in Japan. I asked Barry if he wanted to return to America and continue working as a staff member, but he declined the offer, stating he wished to stay in Japan and "immerse" himself in the country's anime and otaku subculture... *shudders and slightly shakes head* I've also informed Maiko Shimamaku, the former president of Fortuna Entertainment, about the move, and she was fine with it, as long as it was best for the perseverance of the company and its legacy.

Falco: Tsubasa's smoking hot sister Ayaha, who I'm still not convinced is not Tsubasa's twin, was kind enough to come over to the mansion to work as a secretary for Star Records. That is pretty exciting - we never had a secretary work for us before! So what do secretaries do again?
Fox: Nothing but boring business management stuff - Ayaha basically handles the finances and operations of Star Records and leaves us awesome dudes with the fun stuff.
Falco: Wow, the way you put it Fox, it doesn't sound exciting at all...well for Ayaha at least. We're practically making her do all the dirty work! *snickers to himself*
Fox: Yeah I know, right? She can't turn back now, we made a deal...

"You seven listen up, and you listen good!" Fox said to Itsuki and company, speaking like some army commander in the U.S. army. "Falco and I let you maggots off the hook, while you grew accustomed to the mansion and adjusted to mansion life...but today is the day that we kick into full gear! No more horse-playing, no more goofing around, and no more flirting with the ladies - Touma, I'm looking right at you buddy!" Fox shot a quick glare at Touma, who looked to the side and innocently whistled. He couldn't help with the fact that Samus chose to be single, and he wanted to mingle. At least the bounty hunter spared Touma's life...

"We'll give you folks a flexible schedule to work with, we'll give you all the time you need to be creative," added Falco, eating a doughnut. "Creativity is more important than style - style is vastly overrated unless you're into fashion! Are any of you fashion designers?" Itsuki and company shook their heads no, though Tsubasa was the most reluctant to shake her head. She actually had a sweet spot for fashion, which grew the more she worked for Fortuna Entertainment. "Oh, and one more thing - whatever you do, DON'T tick this man off!" Falco was referring to Doc Louis, patting the boxing trainer on the back. "He may be docile in nature, but say something about him or take one of his chocolate bars away, and you'll pay the consequences!"

"And always call me by the name Doc, ya hear?" Doc Louis wagged his finger at Itsuki and company, his booming voice enough to even make the stoic Yashiro feel somewhat uncomfortable. "Doc Louis, that's what you will all call me!"

"Whatever you say, Jerome," smirked Kiria, causing Doc Louis to grow angry. The boxing trainer angrily came towards Kiria, only to be held back by Knuckles and Little Mac. The audacity of Kiria to call Doc by his real name...

"Chill out Doc, Kiria didn't mean she was just joking, right Kiria?" Knuckles asked the idol singer, who continued smirking. "See, she just doesn't want to admit it, she wants you to find out the answer yourself! She's lowkey playing mind games with you, Doc!"

"Likely story..." Jerome "Doc Louis (hehe) glared down Kiria as he went back to his spot. Kiria oughta be glad she was a Star Records recruit, otherwise Doc Louis would have given her quite the mouthful.

"So um, Tsubasa, when is your sister Ayaba gonna show up?" Fox asked the black-haired girl; he and Falco hadn't seen the secretary all week, they were off doing a myriad of things while Ayaba was lurking around the mansion and whatnot.

"She's off discussing some legal matters with Isabelle at the moment, she should be coming by soon to speak with you and Falco," answered Tsubasa, who was looking forward to continue working with Ayaba. Though things for her and the others won't be the same without Barry Goodman.


Master Hand: *laughs rather manically* The Lamborghini which I worked extensively to purchase...I'm finally gonna get it today! All that time I spent of screwing Mario and others out of their money and having them pay for snacks from the vending machine and for tokens at the arcade has finally led up to this very moment! But what sucks is that I'm supposed to have someone drive the car, not just flaunt it about - it was a minor detail in the deal I agreed to that I sadly overlooked. But no matter, the Lamborghini shall remind everyone of my glorious power, and how truly great I am! Now to find someone worthy enough to drive my dream car...

"Master Hand, did I not remind you that I cannot drive, by any means?" a man with short blue hair and a crown on his head asked the giant hand, the two standing outside at the front of the mansion. "I don't even have a driver's license, for crying out loud, I could get arrested!" This man was none other than Marth, who was designated as the driver of Master Hand's Lamborghini, despite having zero driving experience.

"It will be a great learning experience for you Marth, you could perhaps be more technologically advanced than your smoking hot descendant Lucina!" replied Master Hand, concerning the hero-king when he called the princess of Yliesse "smoking hot". Was Master Hand even allowed to say that? "The more you drive, the more you learn, and the more you learn, the more you know, and the more you know, the more you..."

"Okay, okay, I get it, I'll learn a lot about something I've never done by doing it, no matter the risks..." Marth folded his arms and looked to the side. The hero-king wouldn't be at all surprised if he crashed Master Hand's dream car - the giant hand would definitely have it coming for him if the event were to transpire.

"Yeah that's the spirit Marth, gotta be positive and upbeat when you're trying new things, that's arguably the best way to learn!" Master Hand looked over the far distance, and saw a blue Lamborghini drive towards the mansion. "And look, our sweet ride...or should I say, my sweet ride...is making its way over here!" The blue Lamborghini finally reached the mansion's premises, and rolled up to the mansion's driveway. The driver of said Lamborghini came out of the vehicle, and it was a Japanese woman with short black hair, a pink tank top, black pants, and high heels. Strangely enough, Master Hand was checking her out...

"Hi there, Master Hand, Reiko Nagase's the name!" the Japanese woman greeted the giant hand, shaking his gigantic hand. "I imagined you to be a lot bigger in person, but I guess I was wrong..." Reiko turned her head towards Marth, who wished he was doing something else right about now. He would rather be pranked endlessly by Robin over having to drive Master Hand's lousy car. "I take it that you're Marth, emperor of Plegia?"

"Emperor of Archanea," corrected Marth, disgusted with Reiko's ignorance. Evidently the hero-king hated it when people got facts about him all mixed up. "Plegia is just a neighboring country near Yliesse, where one of my descendants, Chrom, is a prince."

"Sheesh, I didn't need a history lesson, I didn't need to know about your relatives and stuff and what kingdom they're from..." Reiko's remark was enough to make Marth sigh. Hopefully driving the Lamborghini today would be just a test drive, and everyone else would be allowed to drive the vehicle and not just the hero-king.

Robin: So, so, so, Marth has been chosen as the unfortunate soul to ride Master Hand's Lamborghini...and if he were to crash the Lamborghini, he would have to face the ire of Master Hand for an eternity since MH worked his butt...off to acquire his dream car...sure hope nothing bad happens to Marth while he's driving the car, it would suck if he were to crash the Lamborghini...or leave a huge, gaping dent in it...*rubs hands together while smiling deviously*
Birdo: *from afar* Yoo hoo, Robin, where are you? *appears behind Robin, who turns around in shock* Ah, there you are, I've been looking all over for you! Bowser and Yoshi weren't help at all, and Wario threatened to kick me out of the mansion if I didn't give him a "pricey stipend"...but now that you're here, I won't have to spend a dime!
Robin: You stupid bird...thing, I thought I told you to leave me alone, I'm already in a relationship! *Birdo runs towards Robin, who runs away screaming* Why can't you just let me be?!

"Marth here will be driving the car for me, and you can just show him the ropes while I follow along and watch Marth's progress," Master Hand explained to Reiko. Reiko believed the thought of Master Hand buying a car just to flaunt his prominence was as asinine as leaving Halloween decorations on your house until Christmas time, hence the reason why she order the giant hand to have someone drive it around rather than using it as a symbol of self-importance.

"So basically you want me to teach Marth how to drive, with his first car being a Lamborghini of all things," clarified Reiko, to which Master Hand gave a resounding thumbs up. Apparently he had a lot of confidence Marth's first ride would be a success, and there will be no accidents or the like on the road. "Okay then...but just know that if Marth were to crash the Lamborghini, which is under your name, then you'll be the one paying for it..." Given that Master Hand practically wasted all his money on the Lamborghini, he could not afford an accident by any means.

Marth and Reiko both got inside the car, with Marth getting in the driver's seat, and Reiko getting in the passenger seat. Both riders buckled in their seat belts, and Marth soon braced himself for whatever may happen. The hero-king couldn't wait for the ride to be over - and he hasn't even turned on the Lamborghini yet!

"First things first...press that button to turn the car on," Reiko pointed at a button on the dashboard, which read "START" (also had "STOP" but that's not relevant now), and Marth pressed the button, turning the Lamborghini's ignition on. "Good, now kick the stick swift to reverse, so we can pull out of the driveway. Use the gas pedal to..." Marth placed the stick shift on reverse, mashed the gas pedal down with his foot, and backed out of the driveway, hitting a trash can and knocking it over in the process as he backed out. "...may not have been the most graceful reverse driving, but since we're on the street, it'll do. Now kick the stick switch to drive, and let's get on the road!" So Marth placed the stick shift on drive, and drove away from the Smash Mansion, thankful that he hadn't crashed the Lamborghini yet. Master Hand followed behind the hero-king and Reiko, eyeing his dream car affectionately.

But once the giant hand, Marth, and Reiko departed from the mansion, trouble appeared to be lurking, when a large submarine resembling a Sharpedo arose from the mansion lake, and pulled up to the surface. A pirate wearing a blue bandanna and a blue aquatic wetsuit of sorts leaped out from the submarine, and two of his subordinates - one being a shirtless, muscular guy with blue pants, and the other a dark-haired woman with blue highlights in her hair - also leaped out from the submarine, landing next to guy that looked like a pirate. Unless you've never played Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire or the remakes, then you might know this pirate as Archie, the leader of Team Aqua. And in his hands was an orb, but not just a regular orb - a Jade Orb, used to summon Rayquaza.

Wolf: I dunno why, but drinking this coffee in my hands is making me go crazy. Took a sip out of my coffee after breakfast today, and I saw that the clock in the living room was one hour ahead of the one in the clock in the kitchen, on the stove! I thought that someone must've tampered with either one of the clocks, so I just shrugged it off and took another sip from my coffee...and then I saw Lucina yelling at her man Robin, putting him on blast for seemingly allowing Yoshi's girlfriend Birdo inside the mansion! Rarely does that chick yell, at anyone at the most! Starting to freak out a little, I took one more sip from my coffee...and that's when I looked out a window and saw a most freakishly gigantic Sharpedo arise from the lake...maybe I should stop putting so much creamer inside my coffee. If I just drink the creamer separately, it might not be so bad...

"Here we are mateys, at the magnificent Smash Mansion!" Archie said to the two subordinates standing at his side, Matt and Shelly. "As much as I would love raiding the mansion of its Pokemon, we should focus on the main goal at hand - to summon Rayquaza, using the power of this orb!" Archie cackled as he held up the Jade Orb up in the air. How funny it would be if a giant bird were to swoop by and snatch the orb out of Archie's hands.

"But Archie, I thought you wanted to do away with meddling with legendary Pokemon, after that whole Kyogre incident," stated Shelly; the incident in question was enough to make Archie question his ways, but unfortunately it seemed like the pirate was back to his dastardly ways.

"Yeah that's right boss, after that whole incident you vowed to find another way to make the world a better place for Pokemon, ahahaha!" added Matt, laughing when it wasn't even necessary. Dude had a strange habit of laughing...oughta get used to it as quickly as you can.

"Aye, that much is true...but I still think that this world could be a better place for Pokemon to live in, and with the help of Rayquaza, we could make that dream a reality! We could expel all the Pokemon inside the mansion out, and have them enjoy the wonderful environment this earth provides, all with the..."

"Long time no see Archie, I figured we would meet you again at this very location," said a stoic voice, a voice so stoic it apparently caused Archie to shriek and drop the Jade Orb onto the ground. The Team Aqua leader looked up and saw who it was - the leader of Team Magma, Maxie, accompanied by his subordinates Courtney and Tabitha. Poor Tabitha, stuck with a girly name...

"Look what we have here - the wannabe Pokemon school teacher, the cute little psychopath, and the fat Makuhita!" snarled Matt, ending his remark with a laugh. Out of the three, Tabitha took the greatest offense to what Matt said, and wanted to throw some hands.

"How dare you call me Makuhita again, just because I always have my eyes closed like that Brock guy from Kanto doesn't mean a thing!" the fatso came for Matt, only to be restrained by Courtney. She wasn't gonna have any of Tabitha's crap today.

"Can we not do that, at least at all today?" the pink-haired woman told her fellow subordinate. "We're here to work together with Team Aqua, do you not remember? It was what our leader Maxie wanted!" This caused Archie to raise an eyebrow, now under the assumption Maxie was planning on betraying him later today.

"You want to work with the likes of me?" the pirate pointed at Maxie, and then back at him, in a state of surprise. "But we're supposed to despise one another, we're on rivaling villainous teams for crying out loud! Why do you want to work with me and my hearties for?"

"To be fair we are best friends, after all, we have been for a long time," grinned Maxie; an anonymous grunt from either Team Aqua or Team Magma once confirmed this in the original Ruby/Sapphire games. "So why don't we reconstruct our friendship and summon the dragon you're looking for - the one by the name of Rayquaza?" Archie smiled at the sound of this - he and Maxie were seemingly on the same page, though he still suspected that the Team Magma leader might turn his back on him.

"Very well then, but in order to summon Rayquaza, we must utilize the Jade Orb..." Archie looked down at the ground for the Jade Orb...but the orb wasn't even there! Archie looked up at Matt and Shelly, who both shook their heads and shrugged. "Drat! Someone must've taken the orb and ran inside the mansion with it! No matter, we can sneak our way inside the establishment and retrieve it!"

Shelly: When Archie called me up and said he was interested in reforming Team Aqua with just me and Matt, I thought he was completely out of his mind. Then Maxie comes in and regroups Team Magma with Courtney and Tabitha, and told Archie he wished to work with him. Something fishy might be going on, but with Maxie, you may never know...


"Simply cannot thank you enough for inviting me to your tea party, Princess Peach!" thanked Kohaku as she was sitting across from Peach at the table in the room where Peach usually held her tea parties with Zelda, who was busy handling things. "Having Rotom present with us makes it even better!" Indeed, the plasma Pokemon was in attendance, situated next to Kohaku; the girl asked Luigi and Daisy for permission to borrow Rotom.

"No Kohaku, thank you for agreeing to be a part of my tea party, if it weren't for you and Rotom, this party would have been cancelled!" gleamed Peach. The princess never cancelled a single tea party in her life, and she wasn't willing to do that today.

"Woof woof!" the Duck Hunt Dog barked as he ran inside the room, with an object in his mouth. The mutt had a tendency to bring whatever he found outside the mansion to Peach, for whatever reason.

"Princess Peach, what on earth is that?" Kohaku asked the princess, who shook her head as the Duck Hunt Dog dropped the object onto the floor. Rotom saw the object, and couldn't help but feel that it looked familiar...

"This strange objects must be the Jade Orb, an object used to summon forth Rayquaza, the sky high Pokemon!" the plasma Pokemon scanned the object - the Jade Orb, now dripping in saliva, that Team Magma and Team Aqua were now looking for. "How the Duck Hunt Dog discovered this item shall remain a mystery! Regardless, this orb is full of power, a power not found anywhere else on Earth!"

"Man I need something green and exquisite for my next music video, since those dumb echidnas apparently won't let me borrow the Master Emerald..." Knuckles said as he walked past the room where Peach and company were in...only to return and see the Jade Orb. "Yeah, that orb will do!" The echidna ran inside, grabbed the orb, and ran out like it was nothing, leaving Peach and the others befuddled.

"Were we supposed to stop Knuckles from taking that orb?" questioned Peach, after Knuckles ran away with the Jade Orb; not even the knowledgeable, informative Rotom had the answer to the princess's question, as it chose to be silent. It usually had an answer for anything, but not for this moment.


"Oh man, this music video's gonna be so legit fam!" Knuckles said to really nobody in particular as he walked through the halls, gazing at the Jade Orb in his hands, before unsuspectingly bumping into Akuma. The echidna fell onto the floor as he dropped the orb, as Akuma turned around and saw the echidna lying on the floor with his eyes closed, seemingly knocking the wind out of him. The kung fu fighter saw the orb Knuckles had dropped, and picked it up and held it in his hand.

Akuma: Donkey Kong still owes me one for ruining the vacation I organized for everyone, his idiocy kicking us out of Disney World. It was my only chance to prove my worth to Master Hand and the others...sort of, and Donkey Kong had to spoil all the fun! All that money I spent for hotel rooming and service, all wasted by that stupid primate...

"What's this, a random jade orb?" questioned Akuma as he held the orb, only to feel the power inside of it pulsating in the palm of his hand. "No wait, this isn't just a random orb, it's a random powerful jade orb!" The fighter suddenly gasped, as an interesting thought prevailed in his mind. "...I could sell this on eBay or some other site and get back the money Donkey Kong wasted!" You'd expect Akuma to make the Jade Orb bless him with special powers or something. "Ridiculously easy money, here I come!" Akuma excitedly ran inside the nearest elevator, and once the doors opened, saw Donkey Kong, Bayonetta, and Ryu all standing inside. The fighter joined the gorilla, the Umbra Witch, and the Street Fighter veteran in the elevator, and the doors closed...


"...and so I would like to apologize to you for my actions at Disney World two weeks ago, and ask for forgiveness if you're willing to give any," Donkey Kong had just finished apologizing to Akuma as he and the fighter, as well as Ryu, walked out of the elevator on the fourth floor. Bayonetta got off on the third.

"Seriously, it took you that long to apologize?" frowned Akuma, who wasn't going to forgive DK due to the time that passed since the vacation. "I could have been dead by the time you wanted to give me your apology!" Donkey Kong held his head in shame, but at least he gave it a shot.

"Um, Akuma, didn't you have an orb in your possession?" asked Ryu, as he looked down at Akuma's hands. Akuma lifted up his hands, and saw that the Jade Orb was now gone!

"Somebody stole the orb?! Who could have done such a thing?!" Akuma suddenly remembered who was in the elevator with him, Ryu, and Donkey Kong. "Ooh, I think I know who it could be..."


Outside in the mansion backyard, Yoshi, Tails, Diddy Kong, and the Inklings were playing a game of kickball, which was essentially baseball and soccer mixed together, if you apparently didn't know. Spying on the five through in the bushes were Courtney and Shelly, two female subordinates who once antagonized against one another, were now working together to find that Jade Orb.

"So why are we out here again, shouldn't we be in the Smash Mansion looking for that orb?" Courtney questioned Shelly as the male Inkling was ready to kick the ball - which was actually Kirby. The pink puffball would enjoy the physical punishment of being kicked around, because he was a weirdo like that.

"For all we know, the Jade Orb could still be outside, someone must have moved it to another location," replied Shelly, keeping her eyes fixated on the kickball game. "Besides, the men are the ones infiltrating the mansion, so we can just stay outside..."

Yoshi: Man, I wish there was an official ball for kickball...I mean, you have one for football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and even dodgeball...but nothing for kickball! How can one function with that?! That is why we're gonna use Kirby as our ball for our kickball game, and Kirby's gonna enjoy it because he enjoys anything! Try putting him in an oven on 450 degrees for thirty minutes and see how happy (and horrifically singed) the guy is!

(In fact, there is an official ball for kickball - Master Hand just didn't feel like getting one, probably because he was a cheapskate who would rather spend money on useless cars that he can't even operate)

"Alright guys, here goes nothing!" the male Inkling kicked Kirby, and he kicked him as far as he could...which was only a mere five feet. Kirby landed on the ground, and exclaimed "Poyo!" as he happily waved his arms in the air, begging for the Inkling to kick him again because he was a weirdo like that.

"You know, this is exactly why we don't have enough people playing kickball," stated Diddy Kong, with his arms folded. "We seriously need a better ball, Kirby can only do so much for us!"

"If you're looking for a better ball, then why not trying something like an orb?" Bayonetta showed up, holding the Jade Orb in her hand. Courtney and Shelly saw this, and gasped simultaneously, an action most people in hiding would do in this situation. "It might not be much, but I'd kick this over Kirby all day long if you ask me!"

"Go Mightyena, retrieve that Jade Orb!" Shelly popped out from the bushes with Courtney and threw her Poke Ball, summoning Mightyena. The bite Pokemon came for Bayonetta, who used Witch Time to slow down the Pokemon before directing her attention to a shocked Courtney and Shelly.

"Looking for this here orb in my hand, hmm? Well if you want it...then go get it!" The Umbra Witch threw the Jade Orb over the heads of Courtney and Shelly; Shelly sent Mighytena back inside her Poke ball as the admin and Shelly ran off in search for the Jade Orb - which now landed in the mansion's like, while Red the Pokemon Trainer and Pac-Man were fishing.

"Woah Pac, did you see that orb fall in the water?" Red asked the eater of ghosts, dropping his fishing rod to the ground in shock. "I believe that's the Jade Orb, you can use it to summon Rayquaza!" Of course Red knew this, dude's practically obsessed with anything pertaining to Pokemon.

"I'll dive in the water and retrieve the orb, while you keep watch!" Pac-Man said to Red as he dove into the lake. Red suddenly saw Courtney and Shelly approaching, and the Pokemon Trainer hid away from the villainnesses behind a tree - the very tree he crawled up in back in episode 63. Once the two ladies were gone, Red walked away from the tree, just when Pac-Man came out from the water, Jade Orb in hand.

Red: Although I never saw them in person (until today), I know that Team Aqua and Team Magma aren't the type of guys you would want to mess with. Like Team Rocket, they have these wicked ways to conduct their plans, and with the two teams now working together it seems like, their fearsome nature has been increased by twofold! Regardless, they're still way more intimidating than Team Flare from Kalos; I could never take their style and mannerisms seriously.

"I'll take this orb inside the mansion and store it in a place where bums like Team Rocket or any over evildoers would ever find it!" Pac-Man told Red, who nodded his head as the eater of ghosts made his way to the mansion, while Red remained on the lookout for any Team Magma/Team Aqua members.


"So...what do you ladies think?" asked Zelda standing alongside with Samus, showing Tsubasa, Eleonora, Kiria, and Mamori an indoor mural of the seven mirage masters, located on a wall near the living room. "It's a little something for you ladies (and the men) to remember Fortuna Entertainment by. Took Samus and I a good while to make this mural, sometimes Samus refused to cooperate..."

"Eh, what can I say, I'm not really an artistic person," Samus apathetically shrugged in response. "I told you good that I didn't want anything to do with this stupid mural, but nope..." Just then, Pac-Man ran inside the hallway, huffing and puffing as he took a breather. Dude should probably exercise more often, he wasn't running that much of a distance.

"Red and I...found this orb...in the lake outside..." Pac-Man panted as he showed the Jade Orb to Zelda and company. "Red said that the orb can summon Rayquaza, so evidently it's quite powerful. Don't want it to fall into the wrong hands!"

"Give the orb here, I can hand it to Link," said Zelda, and Pac-Man did as he was told, handing the orb to the princess. "Link would know where to store powerful objects such as these." Zelda took off, leaving Pac-Man alone with the rest of the ladies. The eater of ghosts looked up at the mural, his eyes deadlocked on Kiria and all her beauty. She wasn't a beautiful idol singer for nothing!

"I gotta say Kiria, you look mighty fine in this mural, I'm sure all the dudes back in Japan were dying to see you..." Pac-Man smiled, with his hands on his hips.

"Yeah, and I'm still more attractive than your wife will ever be," Kiria retorted with a sly grin. Pac-Man couldn't say a single word after that, Kiria got him good.


A knock was at the front door of Luigi's home; Mario answered it and saw Nana and Popo, holding sundaes in their hands. Mario thought the Ice Climbers wished to share their delicious treats with him and the babysitters, and was delighted.

"Ah, I see you came-a with some treats for us-a babysitters, thank-a you Ice Climbers!" the plumber exclaimed, confusing Popo. Nana saw this confusion, and bit her lip.

"No Mario, you got it all wrong, these sundaes aren't for you - they're for the baby!" clarified Popo, and now Mario was the one who was confused. Maybe this was an April Fool's joke that Popo accidentally carried out a week before.

Popo: Charles is but a week old, and you know what that means? It means that he's open for manipulation! We can "condition" Charles into loving sundaes and other ice cream products at a very early age, so that Luigi and Daisy won't have to!
Nana: Now Popo, Charles is just a baby who was born a week ago, we should be feeding baby food, feeding him ice cream could be hazardous!
Popo: Pfft, you're insisting we should feed him that disgusting Gerber's crap?! *grimaces* That junk is inhumanely disgusting, and I should know, I tried it out before and threw that garbage where it belonged, in the trash! Anything I eat that I don't like should not be consumed by others!

"I don't believe-a feeding Charles sundaes would-a be appreciated by Luigi and-a Daisy..." Mario said nervously as Popo grabbed Nana's arm and walked inside the house, making his way to the nursery where Pit, Viridi, and Yuffie were interacting with Charles, who was sitting on the floor and being happy and all that good stuff.

"What's good my party people, the Ice Climbers have arrived!" Popo exclaimed upon entering the nursery, and just like that, Charles started crying right on cue. Yuffie and company looked up and glared at Popo, who apparently thought he did nothing wrong.

"Nice going you loser, you made poor Charles cry!" frowned Viridi, as she picked up the crying Charles and cradled him in her arms. Perhaps the only time the goddess would come in contact with a human being not named Joanne. "What do you have to say for yourself!"

"I once beat Ganondorf in a fair game of arm wrestling, who are you calling a loser?!" Disclaimer: Popo did not beat Ganondorf in an arm wrestling match - rather, Ganondorf broke the Ice Climber's arm so badly that the poor fella had to be carried away via helicopter to the hospital. "If you're looking for a loser, then why don't you look at yourself in front of a mirror?!"

"You're gonna wish you never said those words!" Viridi handed Charles to Pit as she angrily got up to confront Popo, who dropped his sundaes on the floor and screamed like a little girl at the sight of a ticked off Viridi. Mario had to rush inside the nursery and hold the goddess back from Popo.

"Charles you don't need to see this, pretty girls like yourself shouldn't be subjected to angry fits of rage as an infant!" Pit shielded Charles's eyes from Viridi being held back by Mario and now Nana. Someone gotta tell Pit that Charles was a boy real quick.


"Ever heard of a band by the name of Dragonforce?" Link asked his best friend Cloud as the two swordsmen were playing billiards in the gaming room. The Hylian struck a blue pool ball with his cue stick, straight into a group of racked pool balls and sending the balls rolling across the pool table.

"No and I'm not interested in checking them out, sounds like an artist wizard nerds and medieval freaks listen to," replied Cloud, relatively aloof as he looked out across the gaming room. "Considering where you're from and the stuff that you wear and the things you do, you must certainly fit into either group of fanatics."

"It's never nice to stereotype others Cloud, you don't see me classify you as an emo loser..." Would it be a fair assessment to call Cloud emo? Aside from his haircut and looking aloof, he doesn't strike anyone as overtly emo.

Link: Picture this - you're riding on a plane, with Mario on your left and Sonic on your right, and your asleep with headphones in your ears while you're listening to your tunes, when all of a sudden, "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce comes on, and then you suddenly wake up and spaz all over the place, playing the air guitar furiously while others seated around you look at you like you're a crazy moron! *proudly puts his hands on his hips* Yup, I was thankful enough to enjoy that wonderful experience, roughly two years ago when Mario, Sonic, and I flew on a plane to Costa Rica, where Master Hand had his "indefinite vacation". Wanted the three of us to check everything out before he started his little vacation - and he refused to lend us money to pay for the flight back to Seattle! What a guy...or hand.

"There you are Link, figured you would be here with Cloud," Zelda entered the gaming room, giving the Jade Orb to Link. "This is an orb that is said to summon Rayquaza, according to Red - given that you know where to store items like these..."

"No worries Zelda, I got it all under control!" Link gave the princess a thumbs up. Zelda smiled and departed from the gaming room, as Link marveled at the orb. "eh, it doesn't really look that powerful, but I can definitely feel something from inside of it, that's for sure..."

"Better conceal that thing before somebody snatches it away," advised Cloud; Link was at first apathetic towards Cloud's words of advice, but a few moments later the Hylian would wish he had listened.

"Aw sweet is that a shiny green orb?" Sonic approached Link, who quickly hid the Jade Orb behind his back, but it was too late - Sonic zipped right past the Hylian's back, snatching the orb away. "Thanks for the orb Link, I'll give you my full thanks later!" Sonic called out to Link as he left the gaming room, leading the Hylian to stomp on the floor in anger.

"See man I tried to tell ya, you should know better than to underestimate Sonic." Now Zelda was probably going to kill Link now.


"I like to call this tea the black herb tea, with a slight touch of honey!" Black Knight offered Kamui a cup of tea in the lounge, the princess of Nohr accepting the cup and drinking the tea. "So what do you think?" After tasting the tea, Kamui at first grimaced, but then remembered that the Black Knight was still around and forced a smile.

"It tastes...it tastes delicious, I should say," the princess responded in the most politically correct way she could without hurting the Black Knight's feelings. Sonic soon sped inside the lounge with the Jade Orb in his possession.

"Yo, princess Kamui, happy birthday!" Sonic handed the orb off to Kamui, who looked at the object feeling confused, concerning Sonic. "What, you don't like it? I didn't even have to spend a single penny on that thing, and THIS is what you do to me?!"

"Um, Sonic? My birthday isn't a few months from now." Sonic snapped his fingers in disgust, not for just having learned this information, but for looking like a complete fool in the presence of Kamui and the Black Knight.

Sonic: Oh man, I've done it now, now Kamui is forever going to think I'm a dummy and then she'll tell the others about my lack of intelligence which would in turn make me even more universally disliked! Or even worse - what if Kamui tells Amy about my mental error and causes her to break up with me, and also tells Blaze which would dissuade her from having me as a boyfriend! Who else would I turn to? I can't have a six-year old like Cream as my lover!

"Well I hope you enjoy your early birthday gift, I guess..." Sonic threw his arms up in defeat and walked out of the lounge, as Kamui looked at the Jade Orb in her hands. Would keeping the orb with her be worth it?

"So are you going to keep that thing or not?" asked the Black Knight, holding his pitcher of herbal tea in his hands. "It would look nice for decoration..."

"Eh, I can just give it to Bowser or his son, they appear to have a strange affinity for anything green," shrugged Kamui. Why don't we check on the Koopa King and his son, shall we?


"C'mon son I know we can beat 'em, we just gotta put a little oomph into our step!" Bowser said to Bowser Jr., the two Koopalings running in a race against time...or rather on the treadmills in the fitness center, running up against - wait for it - Pikachu and Pichu, also on treadmills. Yes, Bowser challenged the two mouse Pokemon to see if he and his son were faster than the Pokemon, and so far, the two Koopas were getting their butts kicked.

"Pichu pichu pichu pi!" Pichu called out to Bowser and his son, although the duo did not understand what the Pokemon had meant. "Pichu pichu pichu pi" could truly mean a whole lot of things.

"Did Pichu just trash-talk us just now?" questioned Bowser Jr., nearly running out of breath. He couldn't be any more out of shape than Pac-Man was. "We're not gonna take that, are we pops?"

"I'm not gonna take you running out of breath, pick up the pace son or I'll ground you once this is over!" And so Bowser Jr. picked up the pace, running faster than any man - or koopa - has ever did before.

"Sorry to disturb you both, but I have something that you two would mutually like," Kamui approached Bowser and Bowser Jr., holding the Jade Orb. Pikachu looked to his right and saw the orb in Kamui's hand, and quickly recognized it.

"Pika pika pika!" the mouse Pokemon hopped off the treadmill while it was still running and grabbed the Jade Orb from Kamui with his mouth and carried it on his back before running away with it. Kamui watched as the Pokemon ran away; perhaps he too had an affinity for all things green?

"Come back here, you yellow vermin, my son and I have yet to beat you fair and square!" Bowser called out to Pikachu, pointing at the mouse Pokemon. Bowser, beating anyone fair and square? Please.

Bowser: Bowser Jr. is so out of shape...and I could say the same for his siblings! (Especially Roy and Morton, those fatties...) If I want them to get fit and in shape, then I gotta give them an incentive to...oh, I know - I'll take away their privileges for an entire year and lock them up the fitness center where they have to do different exercises each day to stay fit! It's not terrible parenting unless there's instant results!


Pikachu ran furiously through the mansion with the Jade Orb, until he encountered Mewtwo and Wario walking in the hallway. He had to give the orb to the most trustworthy of the two brawlers, and that person...was Mewtwo. (If you thought Wario, then you should feel real ashamed of yourself.)

"Pika pika Pikachu, pika pi pika pika Pikachu!" Pikachu dropped the Jade Orb on the floor and told the story of how Kamui had found said orb and brought it to the fitness center. Thank goodness Mewtwo was able to understand what the mouse Pokemon was saying...

"An orb like this shouldn't even be here, how Kamui discovered it begs to question," Mewtwo held the Jade Orb, while Wario looked at it stroking his mustache with a devious smile. You knew what that fatso planned to do with that orb. "We must return the orb back to where it belongs, or else..."

"Legendary Pokemon Mewtwo, right where we want him!" shouted Matt, who came out from a hiding spot with Tabitha. That poor, poor guy...not Matt, mind you. "And he has the Jade Orb, ripe for the taking!"

"...just what we needed, Team Magma and Team Aqua...thought they were already defunct." Mewtwo handed off the Jade Orb to Wario, and fired a Shadow Ball at the ceiling, leaving behind a gaping hole. "I want you to take this orb and take it out of the mansion. You got it?" Mewtwo said to Wario, who was apparently more concerned about making money off of the orb than securing it.

"Do I get to sell the orb online if I complete the task?" asked Wario; Mewtwo sighed and used Confusion to send Wario up into the ceiling, leaving the Psychic Pokemon and Pikachu to deal with Matt and Tabitha. No way the two evildoers were gonna let Wario get away for long.

"Koffing, go inside that hole in the ceiling and chase after the short fat guy with the mustache!" Tabitha sent out Koffing, and the poison gas Pokemon did as he was told, flying up the hole in search for Wario. Koffing might not be that mobile, but he knew a very deadly weapon to use on Wario...


"I got a four of a kind, what about you, Captain Falcon?" Snake asked the racer, placing his cards on the poker table, as he, Falcon, R.O.B. Takamaru, Olimar, and Alph were playing a game of poker in a separate room. Olimar, a somewhat experienced poker player, was showing his protege Alph the ways of poker, one step at a time.

"Got myself a full house, hehe!" Captain Falcon grinned as he placed his cards on the table. "What about you, Takamaru, what did you get?" The samurai laid down his cards, and the hand he drew almost dismayed his opponents.

"Straight flush, first time ever I got that playing poker!" exclaimed Takamaru, feeling real good about his chances of winning. "It's your turn R.O.B. - I know I won already, so don't be so reluctant to..."

"ROYAL FLUSH...BOOM SHAKA LAKA..." R.O.B. laid down his cards on the table - a king, queen, joker, ace, and a ten card - and scored a royal flush. The robot coolly leaned back in his chair with his arms behind his head while his opponents grunted and moaned in defeat, slamming their poker chips on the table and whatnot.

"Dang nab it R.O.B., how do you keep on winning these poker games, you must be cheating!" Snake accused R.O.B., though that could be his absolutely bitter sore loser self talking.

R.O.B.: WHILE THOSE BUMS WERE FIDDLING AROUND WITH THEIR CARDS...AND DECIDING WHICH ONES TO DRAW...I PRINTED UP MY OWN CARDS, IN SILENCE...AND THAT'S HOW I KEEP GETTING ROYAL FLUSHES...HATERS GONNA HATE...

Suddenly the sound of Wario coughing was heard from the ceiling, indicating that Tabitha's Koffing may have used his Poison Gas to fill up the mansion's ventilation system with...well, poisonous gas. The coughing would continue until the Jade Orb was dropped through the air vent, tearing out the vent in the process, and fell upon the poker table, with the poker players looking at the object.

"Oh, look, a random green orb that fell from the ceiling and is most likely valuable," remarked Captain Falcon, and would you know it, he grabbed the orb, initiating a fight between the other poker players to see who would get the orb. While the fight continued, Olimar and Alph crawled away, and crawled out of the room...with Alph holding the Jade Orb! Goes on to show you what advantages short people could have.

"Wow, this orb sure looks nice," Alph analyzed the orb as he closed the door, the fight still going on. "But do you think this belongs to Luigi? Someone must have taken it from his home for whatever reason and forgot to bring it back."

"Luigi and Daisy went shopping, according to Mario; they should have returned home by now," replied Olimar. How did the astronaut know if the couple really returned, what if they were now eating out? "I'm sure Luigi would appreciate it if we gave this orb back to him."


So Olimar and Alph, with the Jade Orb now in their possession, set off for Luigi's home, as they made their way down the foyer. That's how far the two astronauts would get, because standing in their way was a bunch of Dusk Nobodies...and three instances of a new type of Nobody, a Nobody that were hovering in the air and had a long robe hanging over their entire body, including their head. These beings were called Sorcerers; it was the likes of which Olimar and Alph had never seen before.

"Is it just me, or are those floating dudes with the robes supposed to be...bosses, like the ones that tell you what to do?" a shivering Alph asked Olimar. Now would be a great time for the young astronaut to soil himself out of outright fear.

"The ones with the robes aren't the Nobodies' bosses...I'm their boss, the boss of every Nobody in existence," said a mysterious voice, an emotionless voice that filled up the entire foyer. An Organization XIII member appeared in front of Olimar and Alph, walking through a corridor of darkness. Alph should have probably soiled himself at this point - same goes for Olimar.

Then the Organization XIII member pulled off his black hood, revealing his visage to Olimar and Alph. It was a Nobody who shared traits similar to Xigbar and Saïx - amber-orange eyes and pointy ears - with silver hair and slightly dark skin. One would assume this guy was the leader of the Organization XIII...and he wasn't, though he was leader of another Organization in the past.

"Allow me to introduce myself...my name is Xemnas," the Nobody introduced himself to Olimar and Alph, his voice chilling enough to strike intimidation in the two astronauts. If only Mario and Master Hand were here to...oh yeah, that's right.

Wario: *coughing and wheezing* Mewtwo is a jerk... *coughs* ...for throwing me up in the ceiling like that... *coughs* ...that Koffing nearly took the fight out of me... *coughs* ...but that's no matter... *coughs* ...because I got the orb out of the mansion... *coughs* ...or did I?

"It seems like you have a valuable item in your hands," Xemnas said to Alph, staring right into the young astronaut's soul with his stare. "It would deeply hurt if someone were to...take it from you." And that's exactly what happened, as a Dusk danced his way over to the helpless Alph and took the Jade Orb, before giving it to Xemnas. "Hmm, I wonder what this orb is capable of doing...no point in doing it inside this mansion. Why don't we take our business...outside?"

So Xenmas headed outside and to the mansion's lake, while the Dusks and Sorcerers led Olimar and Alph outside to where Xemnas was. The Nobody held up the Jade Orb in the air, expecting something big to go down.

"Yes, with this orb, we the Organization XIII can achieve our goals, and dominate this world with an iron fist!" bellowed Xemnas, feeling like he had the entire world in the palm of his hand. "Nobody can stop me, nothing can stop me, not even..."

"Now Crobat, use Screech on those monsters!" said a voice that probably belonged to a pirate. A Crobot swooped by and used Screech on the Nobodies, making them vibrate rather violently as they quickly disappeared to avoid the noise. Xemnas looked behind him and saw this, shocked by his Nobodies completely bailing.

"Camerupt, unleash your Flash Cannon on the gray-haired man before you," said another voice, this one stoic in nature. A Camerupt stepped forward, grabbing Xemnas's attention, and gathered up all the light energy and fired it straight at the Nobody, sending him flying to the ground and making him drop the Jade Orb? Who was responsible for giving Camerupt the command, you might ask? Let's just say that it was a specs-wearing dude who walked up to the Jade Orb and grabbed it before it could fall into the lake, and accompying him was a dude wearing a blue bandanna.

"Aye, your Camerupt ain't so bad at all!" Archie, the man with the blue bandanna, commended Maxie, who was holding the Jade Orb in his grasp. "Though my Crobat is just as capable, laddie!" Maxie couldn't help but roll his eyes at that remark.

"You're only saying that because he can fly, which isn't that big of an advantage," stated Maxie. "Here's your Jade Orb..." The Team Magma leader handed off the orb to Archie, who stared at it with a grin like it was lost treasure. Had the pirate been by himself, he would have probably licked the orb.

"I may be down...but I'm certainly not out!" Xemnas said as he struggled to get back on his feet. "Wait until you see the full scope of my awesome power..." Unfortunately for Xemnas, his opportunity to show Archie, Maxie, Olimar, and Alph his power would be cut short.

"COMING THROUGH!" Master Hand's voice boomed as Marth sped through on the giant hand's Lamborghini, running over Xemnas as he drove past the lake and drove the Lamborghini to a stop, mashing on the brakes. So much for Xemnas showing off his "awesome power"...

"Don't think this is over...I will...be back..." these were the last words the Nobody said as he faded away into darkness. No, Marth didn't defeat him by running him over, mind you, Xemnas was returning to his universe before another bad thing happened to him.

Master Hand: Marth really impressed me today...not only did he show that he was a better driver and Reiko and I took for granted, he also proved he could be a deviant criminal by successfully running over a random person and getting away with it! I could use Marth as a means to commit crimes like robbing the bank, or stealing jewelry from the jewelry store! Anything to increase my power and wealth! *laughs evilly*

"Wow Marth, you did a great job driving today, a very great driving student!" Reiko commended the hero-king for his efforts, as she and Marth got out of the Lamborghini once it was turned off. Reiko then tossed the car keys to Marth, since Master Hand didn't have a pocket to store the keys in.

"Yes I do agree, it was an enjoyable experience for the three of us!" exclaimed Master Hand, garnering weird looks from Marth and Reiko. "I enjoyed the experience vicariously through your perspectives, okay?!" That didn't do much to stop the weird looks Master Hand was receiving.

"Still doesn't make any sense, but whatever floats your boat," said Marth. Master Hand inspected his car to sure it there were no scratches...and gasped when a saw a huge dent on the side of the Lamborghini. Marth was gonna get it now...

"Look what you did Marth, you left a big dent in my car, and now my precious baby has a boo-boo!" Master Hand unleashed his fury on the poor hero-king. Archie and Maxie saw this fit of rage, and looked at one another and nodded, agreeing that they should head back inside the mansion. Olimar and Alph quickly did the same.

"B-B-But I don't know how it could have a dent, it's not like I crashed into anything..." Marth's defense wasn't enough, as Master Hand was now hyperventilating. Part of him wanted to squeeze Marth in his hand until he couldn't feel anymore.

"...I'll take this Lamborghini over to the car repair shop, they can fix it up in a jiffy," Reiko awkwardly grabbed the car keys from Marth's pocket, made her way to the Lamborghini, and got inside the vehicle and turned it back on. "Have fun with Master Hand, hero-king!" The woman then called out to Marth as she drove away, leaving the poor hero-king alone with a now ticked off Master Hand.


"So you managed to get a Waddle Dee to leave a dent in Master Hand's Lamborghini, to get back at Marth for making Birdo attracted to you?" Red asked Robin, to which the tactician nodded his head as he and the Pokemon Trainer were walking in the hallway.

"Did the job as Marth was backing out of the driveway, Geno saw it first-hand from the fourth floor and told me about it,"replied Robin; he had hired Geno to be on the lookout for the Waddle Dee. "Surprised that Master Hand and the others didn't notice..."

"I still find it funny that Marth got Birdo to fall in love with you - bet he used one of Ashley's love potions, didn't he?" Robin heaved a heavy sigh when Red said this, and it alarmed the Pokemon Trainer to a certain extent.

"I was gonna use that love potion to make Leia fall in love with Little Mac - but Lucina let Marth take it. It would have been my only chance to show everyone that I'm the real romantic expert, not some guy like Chrom who I bet hasn't contacted Robin at all this month."

Red: Honestly I think this whole Robin-Marth beef is going a bit too far, but I can see why Robin is playing matchmaker and stuff. I'd hate it too if I had a dorky friend who's deemed a romantic expert, just because he got around with the ladies during some wartime conflict. Heck, Blue is a dork too, and he still gets the ladies! "Smell ya later"? *scoffs* More like...um, more like...I have another wording of that stupid line, but it might come off seriously wrong...

Red and Robin would arrive at a room, a room where Matt, Shelly, Courtney, and Tabitha were bound and gagged and tied up in chairs, with Mewtwo and Pikachu watching over them. Red, who found Shelley and Courtney outside the mansion, brought the two ladies inside the mansion, and brought them to this room and had someone tie them up. Mewtwo would do the same with Matt and Tabitha, after he and Pikachu took care of them.

"Any sign of Archie or Maxie?" the Psychic Pokemon asked Red, who shook his head no. Just then, the Pokemon Trainer received a notification from his PokeNav, and saw that it was a text; Red read the message in its entirety. "Just got a text from Pac-Man - he said that Master Hand just punished Marth for denting his Lamborghini, and Archie and Maxie are now in his room. Shall we take these four to see their leader?"

"I suppose we can, keeping them around in this room would be pointless. I shall do the honors of untying them."


"We're-a back!" Luigi announced as he and Daisy returned from their shopping trip, stepping inside the living room holding bags of stuff. Not a single peep was heard - the couple ventured to the nursery, where they found Mario, Pit, Viridi, Yuffie, and the Ice Climbers, all gathered around playing a board game to pass the time. And Charles? He was sleeping away in his crib, soundly.

"Ah, Luigi, Daisy, didn't hear-a ya come in!" Mario looked up and saw the couple, and the others did the same. "We've been-a taking great-a care of Charles while you were-a away, no problems-a whatsoever!" Daisy made her way over to Charles, and picked him up and held him in her loving arms.

"He's fast asleep," said Daisy, her voice low so she wouldn't disturb Charles. "Luigi and I really appreciate you guys for babysitting Charles for us. Wouldn't have expected anything less."

"I do believe we deserve to be paid for our efforts," Popo walked up to Daisy and held out his hand, expecting some money. A few gold coins would do.

"Uh, Popo, we didn't ask you and Nana to babysit Charles. So why don't you take your wife or cousin or whatever, and get out of our house?" Popo certainly wasn't going to leave without payment, but Nana was fine either way.

"We should be heading back to the mansion now," Nana grabbed Popo, who was still holding out his hand, and dragged him away. The Ice Climbers were about to leave the nursery, until Isabelle ran poked her head through the nursery door, needing to relay an important message to Mario.

"Sir Mario, something big is going down at the lake, you have to see it!" the shih tzu said to the plumber, her voice loud enough to wake up Charles and make him cry. Nice one, Isabelle.


Master Hand: Ahahaha, I did it, I actually did it! I goaded Archie into bringing that Jade Orb to the mansion! All I had to do was uncover this PokeNav I found in the attic, give Archie a call, and be all like, "Bring the Jade Orb to the Smash Mansion in Seattle so we can summon Rayquaza and make the world a better place for Pokemon", and BOOM! He brought two of his lackeys to the mansion with the Jade Orb in his possession! He may not know the truth now, but once I tell him after Rayquaza is summoned, he and his lackeys will laugh and be like, "Oh, you evil scalawag, you, you got us!"

Pac-Man: So why is Master Hand interested in seeing Rayquaza? Only because Jacky claimed to have seen the dragon in random places of Seattle. Daisy told Master Hand all about it. Unless we see the sky high Pokemon in person, then the jury's still out on Jacky.

"Now Archie, lift that orb up into the sky!" Master Hand commanded Archie, who was standing lakeside with Maxie and the four subordinates, as he lifted the Jade Orb up into the air. Gathered outside were Luigi, Daisy, the Ice Climbers, the babysitters, and a large group of select residents (pretty much anyone who either saw the Jade Orb or came in contact with it). Jacky was also outside, slightly dying of anticipation.

"Is it time yet?" questioned Jacky, as he glanced at the clock on his phone after waiting for a good while. All of a sudden, the Jade Orb was glowing a bright green color, and a large dragon descended from a sky, a green dragon with yellow-like ring symbols running down its body. It was known by only one name...Rayquaza.

"Ha ha, there it is, told you guys I wasn't crazy! Rayquaza's here!" A now jovial Jacky was now full of himself, though nobody paid him any mind - they were too busy entranced by the presence of Rayquaza, the Pokemon flying about in the air.

"We did it Master Hand, we summoned Rayquaza!" exclaimed Archie, clenching his fist in victory. "Now we can work together and make this world a..." Archie would soon be cut off when Master Hand heartily laughed, and heartily laughs were pretty uncommon for Master Hand.

"You fool, I only said that just to convince you to bring the orb!" stated Master Hand, dismaying Archie. "I don't care about 'making the world a better place for Pokemon', I just wanted to see Rayquaza!" (And ensure that Jacky wasn't a crazy loon, as everyone had assumed.) "Haven't seen the darn Pokemon in such a long time!" This confession was enough to make Archie's mouth agape, and Matt and Shelley felt their leader's level of distraught.

"This was part of the reason why I opted to work with you..." Maxie said to a still shocked Archie. "I kinda knew that Master Hand was up to no good. I had planned on dissuading you from letting him see the orb. Any mere mortal should know better than to trust him." Master Hand should make Maxie pay for keeping it real, the giant hand hated like remarks like the one Maxie made.

"What's with all the commotion, why is everyone outside?" questioned Star Records secretary Ayaha, who had just finished a conversation with Fox and Falco as she stepped outside the mansion, hearing the folks outside go "Ooh..." and "Aah.." and stuff at Rayquaza, probably because they didn't know what to say other than saying mostly intelligible words of sheer amazement. Ayaha looked up at the sky and saw Rayquaza, then looked forward and saw Tsubasa with her fellow Star Records buddies, marveling at at the sky high Pokemon. Ayaha ran up to greet her sister, who was smiling.

"Is this your first time seeing Rayquaza in person, big sis?" Tsubasa asked her older sister, who was unsure what to make of Rayquaza. It looked somewhat intimidating to her, could be because of the dragon's design.

"Certainly doesn't look that dangerous, although it does have a bit of an intimidating factor," replied Ayaha. "Are you sure that isn't a Shadow Dragon?" Ayaha only asked this just to be on the safe side of things.

"It's a Pokemon, Ayaha, not a Shadow Dragon. We have nothing to worry about." Ayaha decided to take Tsubasa's word for it - though there would be some problems if Rayquaza started attacking people for no reason.

While the Rayquaza aerial show continued, a black-cloaked individual stood at the top of the mansion unseen, observing the sky high Pokemon. It was Xemnas, and the Nobody had returned just to see what the Jade Orb was capable of. Xemnas may have had a forgettable first experience at the Smash Mansion...

...but next time around, he'll ensure that everybody knows his name, for better or for worse.
