Author's Note:
More guest reviews...let's get it done.
"Can you add the Senran Kagura characters? (Since they did have 3 games on the 3DS) If not, can you add Emil and Marta from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World? Ibuki from Street Fighter III? (Since there's a small fanbase that ships her with Strider Hiryu) and Cassandra and Sophitia from Soul Calibur? (Since I forgot to inculde them a while back.)"
I can add the Senran Kagura characters, and I can also add all the other characters that you have mentioned. Next review:
"Maybe you could have both Yashiro Tsurugi and Robin (Reflet) do a performance together as they have the same (Japanese) voice actor. Though idk if you will go with this if you haven't played the games they are in."
Being honest here...I've never played Tokyo Mirage Sessions OR any of the Fire Emblem games. But learning that Yashiro and Robin share the same Japanese voice actor is fascinating. A performance with those two would make for some great comedy. Derick Lindsey has a question regarding this chapter:
"...will the couples be based on ones you made, have it decided randomly or both?"
For the most part, the couples in this chapter are mostly random. I think you'll be very surprised. Last but not least, we have Star Trekkin:
"0/10 needs more Inklings. Nah, man, I kid. I love this series and it brings a smile to my face, cheesy as it is."
Heh, what can I say, I love cheese. Cheese makes the world go around. But that's a conversation for another day. Moving on:
"However, I would like to see more of the Inklings. Maybe even Callie and Marie? To be honest, Callie is totally my favorite, even though I love both. But I digress."
I've been receiving a lot of Inkling-related requests in recent times...I promised I would feature the Inklings more often, but so far I've been falling back on that promise. Perhaps I should bring Marie and Callie back to the mansion to solve the issue.
Episode 67: Enamor
No one at the mansion knew exactly when Yoshi started writing romantic fanfiction. It just seemed so odd to them - a happy-go-lucky green dinosaur that was not only into knitting, but into writing fanfic stories all day long. The latter hobby would be a whole lot tolerable for the residents, if not for Yoshi's weird pairings.
Here are a couple examples of the strange pairings Yoshi came up with over the past - Peach and Meta Knight (a peppy princess who was already engaged to Mario at the time the pairing was made and a somewhat Hispanic swordsman who didn't need a woman), Link and Samus (a blonde dude who carried a sword and a blonde lady who was a renowned bounty hunter), and more recently, Tsubasa and Cilan (a cheery aspiring pop singer and a Pokemon connoisseur who would crack food-related puns from time to time).
But wait, there's more! Yoshi also extended his pairings to folks outside of the mansion - amazingly, the green dinosaur came up with pairings like Kalos Elite Four member Malva and Galactic Federation soldier Anthony Higgs, Panther Coroso and Rouge the Bat, and other pairings that would make you scratch your head and wonder if Toad the lowkey drug lord (you know it's true) was Yoshi's coke dealer.
For months on end, Yoshi always wanted to make his weird pairings come to love, to see something like Peach feeding Meta Knight grapes, or Cilan cooking food for Tsubasa, or even Malva sitting on a couch stroking the chest of a shirtless Anthony Higgs...seriously, you couldn't make any of this stuff no matter how hard you tried. Constantly the dinosaur asked Ashley if he could borrow a few potions or one of the young witch's spellbooks to make his pairings happen in real life, and Ashley would always have one answer in mind...
"No Yoshi, now leave me alone before I use my wand to make you miserable," the young witch, standing on a stool and adjusting a camera on a camera tripod, said to Yoshi, who was practically begging on his knees. Ashley and Yoshi were with Mamori in the kitchen, and the Fortuna Entertainment girl was wearing a chef outfit, preparing for the first edition of Microwave Idol Mamorin - the American edition. Mamori told Fox and Falco all about the show and how it operated, and the two pilots agreed to let the young girl do an Americanized version of her show on Star Records' YouTube channel, which Mega Man was given the honors of doing.
Ashley: As you may or may not know already, Microwave Idol Mamorin is a show that involes Mamori cooking stuff in the microwave and singing a song about it, and apparently I've been cast as a part of the show by Mamori. I like to imagine the show as what would happen if the Swedish Chef had his own show where he was singing and cooking - only difference is that with Mamori, you could actually understand what she's saying. Since this is the first "Americanized" episode, Mamori opted to have Cilan make a guest appearance in said episode, to appeal to the many Pokemon nerds living in the States. I sure hope none of these freaks after watching the episode become compelled to visit the Smash Mansion just to see me, because if they do, then there's gonna be a graveyard located next to the mansion... *holds up wand while her eyes glow red*
"But if you just let me borrow a spellbook I will leave you alone, forever and ever!" begged Yoshi, now getting real desparate. Ashley mused over the offer given to her, then suddenly examined the substantial consequences of lending Yoshi a spellbook, and then completely ignored the green dinosaur as she resumed adjusting the camera, not paying Yoshi any mind. "Just this once Ashley, I promise you I'll give it back!"
"Eh, you'd probably do a whole ton of damage by the time you give it back, and you'd be even more disliked than Sonic as well," responded Ashley as she hopped down from the stool she was on. "Not giving you a spellbook would be best for not only you and me, but for every single person you've been pairing up."
"Are you done with adjusting the camera Ashley, I'm all ready to go!" exclaimed Mamori, with her chef hat on and her smile already present. Ashley nodded to the girl, giving her the thumbs up. "Sorry Yoshi, but you'll have to leave - you can go bother Ashley some other time! Maybe at your next knitting club meeting!" Given how annoying Yoshi was, there was a strong chance Ashley wouldn't even be at the next knitting club meeting.
"It was worth a shot..." Yoshi held his head low as he exited the kitchen, expecting Ashley to express some empathy for the green dinosaur and change her mind, giving him the spellbook. Too bad the young witch was incapable of showing empathy - it was not in her blood to show care for others. That didn't make her a sociopath by any stretch of the imagination, the idea of empathy just never resonated with Ashley. And Ashley never resonated with empathy, and never cared to try.
Yoshi continued out of the kitchen, until he saw Ashley's assistant Red at the entrance, fiddling around with some notebook and writing stuff in it. Interested, Yoshi approached the little red demon to see what the notebook was all about.
"Hey Red, what's that you got there?" the green dinosaur asked, kneeling down at Red's side. The imp was startled to see Yoshi, unnerved by how big he was compared to his size. Poor fella had nightmares of dudes like Bowser and King K. Rool.
"Oh, I'm just writing stuff into this notebook, and whatever I write comes to life!" explained Red; he demonstrated by writing "make a Goomba appear in front of the kitchen", and just like magic, a Goomba magically appeared in front of Red and Yoshi. Since it had no evil ambition and nothing to do, the Goomba mindlessly walked away, probably expecting Mario to stomp on it eventually.
Mario: Peach may-a have not believed-a me when I told her-a this, but I've been managing some self-a control over the past few-a weeks or so. Some of the things-a I've done to maintain-a my self-control include refraining from-a yelling at Bowser, refusing to eat-a fatty foods, not overworking my-a self, and... *sees the Goomba walk by* ...a wild Goomba appeared! It must be vanquished! *runs to Goomba and jumps on it multiple times, even to the point where it was unnecessary, until it was defeated* ...phew, crisis averted. *wipes off forehead* So what-a was I saying about-a self-control?
"You wouldn't mind if I...borrowed that notebook of yours, do you?" asked Yoshi, while Red considered his options. Would it be wise to lend a powerful, magical notebook to a guy like Yoshi - a reptile who once fancied the idea of seeing Ike and Samus making out with a romantic backdrop? Perhaps if Yoshi's romantic dreams came true, then there would be no point in him writing fanfiction or making pairings anymore!
"I suppose I can let you borrow this notebook, I wasn't really writing anything appealing in at the moment," Red kindly handed the notebook off to Yoshi, who accepted it with the utmost glee. "You're free to use it for as long as you like, free as charged!" Yoshi giggled in a somewhat creepy way as he ran off, holding the notebook to his chest. "I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with that notebook..." Red said this deviously, with an evil look on his face. What was that imp up to...?
"The key is always to focus on your tummy!" Wii Fit Trainer exclaimed, and no, she wasn't acting like DJ Khaled on his Snapchat, not like she mentioned anything about being successful and whatnot- the fitness workaholic was exercising in the fitness center, although she was already fit. It helped keep her mind fresh, and her body...well, you know. "Now it's time to reach for those toes!" Wii Fit Trainer reached for her toes, with her legs far apart, starting with her left foot.
"Yo Wii Fit, have you ever considered working out one of the mansion's fatties and making them slimmer?" Sonic asked the fitness trainer, running backwards on a treadmill set on the highest level. No treadmill in existence could slow down the blue blur. "My friend Big the Cat could really use your guidance!"
"Glad you asked that question, Sonic - however, I will say that your friend Big would be out of the question, he might be too dim-witted for my tastes." Wii Fit Trainer then stretched out to her right foot. "I would need someone whose intelligence and ability to follow commands is above-average, someone who would put past their hard-headed nature and aspire towards being fit, someone like..."
A disturbing image caught the side of Wii Fit Trainer's left eye, and that image was King Dedede, walking in the fitness center and having the audacity to eat a bag of potato chips in said fitness center, especially in the presence of a now shook Wii Fit Trainer. Even worse, King Dedede was leaving crumbs all over the place, not caring one bit about cleaning up his mess. But what would you expect from a guy like him?
"King Dedede...what on earth are you doing?" Wii Fit Trainer asked the fat penguin. Unwritten Rule #43: NEVER, under any circumstance, eat junk food in the fitness center. One of the few unwritten rules that apply to the Smash Mansion.
"Eating potato chips?" responded King Dedede, his tone suggesting as if Wii Fit had never seen anyone consume potato chips before. "You want some?" The penguin offered some chips to Wii Fit Trainer who slapped the bag of chips to the floor in disgust, causing Dedede to gasp in shock. How could she possibly do such a thing?!
King Dedede: Mr. Game and Watch seriously needs to step up his game regarding the vending machines...nowadays there's nothing but potato chips and candy bars! Whatever happened to variety, how come there are no more doughnuts in the vending machines? Only a heartless person like Mr. Game and Watch would want me to spend my hard-earned money on stuff I could get here! *takes a bite from his doughnut* Paying fifty cents for this doughnut at a convenience store was one of the hardest things I've ever done in recent memory...
"King Dedede, I think you're getting fatter each and every day..." remarked Sonic, concerned for the penguin's health. Didn't require rocket science to tell that Dedede was dangerously overweight. "You should seriously work out with Wii Fit, she can get you fit in no time!"
"Pfft, me working out, in your dreams!" scoffed king Dedede, folding his arms and looking to the other side. "I don't need to lose any weight, I'm fine just the way I am! Haven't had any health problems due to weight - you're just overreacting!" Only Dedede would believe in such lies - him and his Waddle Dee lackeys that follow and listen to his every whim.
"But would you want to find a woman, a woman who wouldn't tolerate your large weight and prefer you to be slim?" asked Wii Fit Trainer, as King Dedede pondered over this thought. The only woman he ever had was Jacky's sister, Sarah Bryant, and that was only temporary. "No sane woman would be seen with a fatso like yourself - heck, even Sarah Bryant talked about how humiliating it felt to be associated with you at the Valentine's Day party!"
"Clearly my lovely Waddle Dees have told me otherwise, my large weight is working against me..." What was Dedede talking about, the Waddle Dees can't even speak! "You know what, maybe I do need to lose weight! Wii Fit Trainer, can you show me the ways, just this once?"
"King Dedede..." Wii Fit took a brief pause before saying the following, "...I've been waiting forever for you to say that!" The trainer then looked towards Sonic, who was now showing off while running backwards on the treadmill. "Sonic, would you like to help King Dedede lose weight?"
"Anything to get rid of that big belly of his!" was the hedgehog's reply. Usually he didn't help out fellow brawlers often, but this would be one of the only few exceptions.
"I'm so proud-a of you, Diddy Kong, going on your first-a date!" Mario commended Diddy Kong, as the spidermonkey was getting dressed in his tuxedo shirt in front of the mirror in his room (the only piece of clothing he was wearing). Yes, Diddy was about to go on his first date - a date with the love of his life, Dixie Kong. If his uncle Donkey Kong went on a date with Candy Kong, then what's stopping Diddy from going on a date with his woman?
"Been a long time coming, but finally it's happening - here's hoping I don't screw things up!" remarked Diddy as he fastened his bowtie. Seriously, wouldn't it hurt for the monkey to at least wear some pants? Would be informal to go to a restaurant on a date pantsless.
Donkey Kong: Cranky Kong couldn't believe it when I told him that Diddy was going on his first date - he was all like, "Sixty-seven chapters in and that dumb author is finally allowing Diddy Kong to go on a date?! What's next, he's gonna have Link and Zelda marry one another in an impromptu wedding?!" All fourth-wall breaking aside, Cranky was very astonished about Diddy dating, and also very proud - and I couldn't be a more proud uncle than I am right now!
"Your boutonnière is ready, can't wear a tuxedo in public without a boutonnière!" Donkey Kong entered the room, giving the flora decoration to Diddy. Admit it, you had now idea that the flowers you see on tuxedos were called boutonnières until now. "I guarantee you Dixie will be blown away at how dapper you look!"
"Dixie would be blown away regardless, she'll melt out of love!" said a slightly confident Diddy, as he placed the boutonnière on his tuxedo shirt. "Alright Mario, I'm all ready to go, ready when you are!" Mario agreed to drive Diddy to the venue of his date - a pacific northwest restaurant called Canlis - and the plumber rented a car fro the dealership Jacky was working at.
"The car's-a ready, I'm-a ready, you're-a ready, so let's-a go!" exclaimed Mario as he walked Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong out of the room. The plumber got out his phone and played the song "Toast of the Town" by Motley Crue, as he walked Diddy Kong and his uncle to their destination, while many onlookers watched on.
"Lookin' good Diddy, have fun on your date!" Captain Falcon saluted to the spidermonkey, who was strutting his stuff down the hallway.
"Don't do anything embarrassing in front of Dixie!" Larry called out to Diddy from afar, giving him strong words of advice.
"Hable con su corazón no con su mente!" Meta Knight also called out to Diddy with words of advice, albeit in Spanish. What a showoff, that guy...
After walking through the halls of the Smash Mansion like a bunch of real Gs, Mario, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong finally arrived outside, and walked towards the car parked at the driveway, next to Master Hand's Lamborghini - a red 2016 Ferrari. Master Hand was outside, having appointed another unfortunate person to drive his dream car. The person picked was Tails, who was well below the age limit for driving.
"But Master Hand, I can't drive yet, I mean I have a SEGA license, but not an actual driver's license!" the yellow fox tried to tell the giant hand, but Master Hand believed that Tails was making up lousy excuses to prevent himself from driving the Lamborghini. "Why not have Knuckles drive instead?"
"You have driven a helicopter before, haven't you?" questioned Master Hand, pointing his giant finger at Tails. "If you can drive a helicopter, then you can drive just about any vehicle in existence! And you've competed in races against the likes of Sonic and Dr. Eggman, so you're the perfect guy for..." Master Hand was cut off when he saw Mario and company approach the Ferrari, and got inside. "Where on earth are you blokes going off to?"
"I'm-a taking Diddy Kong on-a his first date!" explained Mario before he got inside the car, leaving Master Hand rather unamused. Though it was hard to tell if a giant hand was unamused, given the lack of a face.
Yoshi: Ha ha, at last, I can finally earn the respect I've been craving for so long! Gone will be the days I get ridiculed by my peers, gone will be the threats I receive from Master Hand to change my ways ways, gone will be the demands to be kicked out of the mansion for good - once I'm through with my awesome deeds, everyone will be in perfect harmony, and soon they'll all forever be indebted to me!
"Diddy Kong's going on his first date, eh?" Master Hand raised an imaginary eyebrow. "Well I sure hope all goes well for him. He knows how chicks can be!" Master Hand returned his attention to Tails, who was lowkey feeling miserable now. "Let's get this show on the road Tails - show me what you're made of!"
"Whatever you say, Master Hand..." the yellow fox sighed depressingly as he turned the Lamborghini on, and drove out of the driveway, before heading out on the road.
"You fellas all-a buckled in?" Mario asked the Kongs after Master Hand and Tails left; Donkey Kong and Diddy buckled their seatbelts in. So they can be safe, as Dora the Explorer would say in third-person. "Excellent, now off-a to Canlis we-a go!" Mario started up the Ferrari, and drove out of the driveway and to the restaurant.
Away from the driveway and near the garden shed, Cloud was resting away in a hammock, while his woman Aertih was tending to the plants in the gardens. The flower girl's busy time in the gardens gave Cloud a chance to be his individualistic self, allowed him to soak in solitude and peace without being bothered. But the swordsman would be bothered, when a baseball landed on his stomach, causing him to open his eyes and see the ball on his stomach.
"What the..." Cloud picked up the baseball and held it in his hand, as Toon Link and Ness came over, the latter holding a baseball bat. "You two were playing baseball in the backyard, weren't you? Can you try not to hit a home run over here next time?" Cloud asked the two baseball players once he noticed them.
"Sorry about that Cloud, we tried not to put too much oomph into hitting the baseball," apologized Ness, scratching the back of his head with a nervous, apologetic grin. "Guess we put a little more oomph than usual when hitting that baseball in your hand..."
"If you want, we can play far back in the backyard, so we won't risk hitting the ball out far deep," said Toon Link, as Cloud handed the baseball back to him. The ex-SOLDIER wasn't in much pain - he was just glad he wasn't struck in the nether regions. That would have been bad. "Or we can play in my bounce house, we won't be able to disturb you then! Unless we make too much noise..."
"Cloud, Cloud, you gotta come quick, Aerith's up to no good!" Link came running to his best friend, in a state of hurry. Cloud quickly got out of the hammock, wanting to see what all the hullabaloo was about. "You're not gonna like what you're gonna see..."
"Aerith's off planting stuff in the gardens, I think you may be blowing things out of proportion Link," stated Cloud, doing his best to calm Link down. But the way Link was, clearly something was up with Cloud's woman.
"Aerith was planting stuff in the gardens, now she's...well, you have to see for yourself." This suddenly made Cloud more intrigued, and an eavesdropping Ness and Toon Link rather curious.
Proto Man: I'm sorry but I can't stay in that gaming room...a bunch of freaky stuff's going down there. Can't really say what was going on, but if I had a human stomach, I'd be throwing up all over the place right now...
Link guided Cloud, Ness, and Toon Link to the gaming room, and upon arrival, the Hylian pointed at the far corner of the gaming room, where Aerith was sitting on a couch. Cloud looked over at Aerith, and was suddenly taken back by what he was seeing...his girlfriend Aerith seated on a couch next to Ike, and flirting with the man. Cloud's nightmares were now realized.
"You know, I have a soft spot for men with swords..." Aerith said romantically as she started to cuddle with Ike, much to Cloud's dismay. For once, the swordsman's mouth was fully agape. "But you...with your cheekbones and blue eyes...you're irresistable..." How could Aerith be saying such things when Cloud was around?
"That's right, baby girl, you better recognize!" gleamed Ike; no doubt Cloud was gonna pummel Ike for calling her "baby girl". "I'm the best swordsman there is, not that pathological loner Cloud!"
"Ike, Ike, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!" cheered Puppet Mia, her voice provided by yours truly, Ike. "Give me an I, give me a K, give me an E, what does that spell? IKE!"
"Shut up Mia, you're ruining my flow..." Ike threw away Puppet Mia like she was hot trash, throwing her on the floor. About time the man disposed of that stupid puppet. "So Aerith, how about I tell you the story of how I became the Radiant Hero?"
"Enjoy having your heart broken," Ganondorf chuckled as he walked past a still agape Cloud, patting the swordsman on the back. The Demon Lord would take a sip from a soda can he was holding in his hand...only to spit the contents out when he saw Rosalina, leaned against a wall, speaking with Cilan. And yes, if you were following along from Ike and Aerith, Rosalina and Cilan were flirting with one another, much to Ganondorf's chagrin.
"We make a nice pair Rosalina...you'll always have a pizza my heart!" Cilan said to Rosalina, making the mother of Lumas giggle with his use of love-related food puns. Ganondorf fumed, as he crushed his soda can with the strong grip of his hand; Cilan went from Pokemon connoisseur to Mr. Steal Yo Girl real quick!
"Okay this is getting insane and completely out of hand," remarked Cloud, as he broke out of his gaze. "Do you know what caused Aerith to fall in love with Ike, Link?" Link was nowhere to be found. "Link, where'd you go man?" Cloud looked around for his best friend, his head turning left and right.
"I think Link just found himself a new soulmate..." Toon Link said nervously as he pointed at the Hylian...who was seated at a table flirting with Samus, the least romantic person in the mansion. One moment, Link had brought Cloud to the gaming to show him that Aerith was cheating on him with Ike, and now the Hylian was cheating on Zelda...with Samus, of all people. Some strange magic clearly must be afoot!
Cloud: I've been used to Samus being an uncaring apathetic lady, so to see her being romantic with Link, watching her flirt and making all these sexy faces and smiling nonstop... *shivers* ...that's a mental image I won't get out of my head for a good while. However, I don't think Zelda would strongly appreciate Link cheating on her, she and Link were meant for each other. Like how Aerith and I were meant for each other. If there's not an outside force making Ike flirt with my woman, and he's flirting on his own accord, then the man who "fights for his friends" won't ever see his friends again once I'm through with him...
"This makes no sense, how did Link suddenly fall in love with Samus that quickly?" questioned Cloud, as the Link and Samus connection continued. "Also, was Samus even in the gaming room to begin with?" Ness pondered over Cloud's question very thoughtfully...until he snapped his fingers when he assumed who the culprit was.
"I think I might now the person behind all of this," the PSI whiz said to Cloud and Toon Link. "But before we bust the culprit, we gotta tell Zelda the bad news before she later finds out!"
"So why exactly are we watching random wrestling videos with Pit and Kirby?" questioned Touma, as he, Itsuki, Fox, and Falco were in the movie room, watching some recent wrestling footage with Pit and Kirby. Wrestlemania 33 was two days away, and Pit and Kirby were at peak excitement (though to be fair, Kirby was always at peak excitement all the time).
"You said you wanted to be a tokusatsu hero, did you not?" replied Fox, who was eating popcorn that he refused to share with anyone, not even his main man Falco. "The dudes you see fighting on TV are like tokusatsu heroes - they act, they fight, they deal with drama, and all sorts of stuff."
"I shouldn't even be here, I don't even watch wrestling or tokusatsu shows," stated Itsuki, raising his finger to be seen. The fellow was an everyman - an ordinary guy folks can identify with - and that kinda made him slightly boring.
"Wow Itsuki, way to be extremely intolerant towards what other people like!" frowned Falco, shaking his head at the Star Records employee and staff member. "If you wanna be so intolerant, then why don't you take your intolerant behind outta here?"
"BUT YOU AND FOX PRACTICALLY FORCED ME TO WATCH THIS WRESTLING CRAP, AND THREATENED TO FIRE ME FROM STAR RECORDS IF I DIDN'T COMPLY!"
"And now you have the gall to yell out obvious facts while Pit and Kirby are enjoying wrestling? Don't you have any nerve, man?!" Itsuki ultimately decided against arguing with Falco, for that would take him on a road to nowhere. And nobody likes being stuck in nowhere.
Pit: Viridi sent me a text earlier notifying me that she dumped me for Lloyd...and I'm taking that text message with a strong grain of salt. For all we know, Viridi could be using Lloyd as leverage, manipulating him to buy me that new Metal Gear Solid game. After all, Toon Link did say last year that Viridi would buy me a new Metal Gear Solid game, and that's pretty much the reason why our relationship has remained intact. I'm giving Viridi all the time in the world to fulfill her promise - the promise she was too afraid to tell me!
"SUPERMAN PUNCH, SUPERMAN PUNCH!" WWE commentator Michael Cole said, as he was commentating a match between WWE superstars Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman - a Samoan bad guy who wasn't really much of a bad guy in kayfabe (look it up) vs a long-lost member of the Duck Dynasty crew. Reigns delivered a Superman punch to Strowman, and then followed it up with a spear, before pinning Strowman and accruing victory.
"Aw yeah, Roman Reigns won!" cheered Pit, he and Kirby getting all pumped up for a match they already saw live last week. "Sucks that Reigns might lose to Undertaker at Wrestlemania though, wonder why Taker never buries the foes he defeats at Wrestlemania in his graveyard..." Maybe because Undertaker wasn't an actual undertaker in real life?!
"This whole watching of wrestling stuff would have been a lot more beneficial to me had we watched some masked wrestlers or something," remarked Touma, as he got up from his seat, yawning and stretching his arms. Masked characters are a staple in tokusatsu shows, with Power Rangers obviously being a very strong example.
"Is there a way to stop this video recording?" asked Itsuki as he walked up to the VCR - a rather high-tech VCR. The young man saw a button on the VCR, and wondered if it was a stop button. Curiosity couldn't stop him now. "I wonder what this button does..."
"No man, don't press it, you don't know what it can..." Fox tried to warn Itsuki, but it was too late - Itsuki pressed the button, and suddenly the television screen went off, the last image being Roman Reigns on top of a turnbuckle with his arms raised in the air in triumph. Next thing that transpired next, a beam shot out from the VCR, as a pixelated version of Roman Reigns formed in front of Itsuki and company. The pixelated wrestler was standing, with raised arms being the last thing to be generated. Ituski and company were in complete awe.
"What is this place?" Reigns looked around, no longer inside a WWE ring and now pixelated inside the Smash Mansion. His eyes suddenly fell upon Itsuki, and then the others, with Pit and Kirby super close to fangirling all over the place. "What are you punks looking at?!"
"Looks like some introductions are in order..." Fox heaved a heavy sigh. No doubt Pit and Kirby were gonna be all over the grill of Roman Reigns, one of the favorite wrestlers. They'd better not annoy the heck out of the others with their fangirling.
While a guy like Roman Reigns was already fit, a certain penguin by the name of King Dedede was doing everything he can to become fit, and was relying on Wii Fit Trainer and Sonic to help him lose some weight, and maybe a few carbs. The fitness trainer and the blue hedgehog had Dedede all sorts of exercises, from running on a treadmill to jumping rope, and as you would believe, Dedede's weight was mostly working against him. But the king of Dream Land yearned for a smaller body, no matter the cost or the consequence.
Wii Fit Trainer: King Dedede has been showing tremendous progress so far - he's far more capable at doing certain exercises than Sonic and I would have ever imagined, and he's been a very great sport too! I have yet to hear him gripe or complain with how rigorous the exercises are!
Sonic: At the end of the day, King Dedede isn't just going to be a loser jerk who bullies other people - he's gonna be a loser jerk who bullies other people AND beats them up to a pulp without the use of his hammer! Heck, once we're through with him, he might as well give up his giant hammer, give it to someone else...like me! Then Amy and I can be the Bash...Couple! Yeah, the Bashful Couple, sounds legit!
"C'mon King Dedede, we know you can do it!" encouraged Wii Fit Trainer as she and Sonic oversaw King Dedede doing sit-ups in the fitness center, or at least trying to sit-ups while fighting against his massive weight. "Sonic, I think we need to kick this into full gear!"
"Right on Wii Fit, time for some true workout music!" Sonic sped out of the fitness center, and came back with a boombox. The blue blur placed the boombox on the floor and pressed the play button, as the Rocky theme blared from the boombox. With the music blaring, King Dedede pushed himself to the limit, but unfortunately the effort he put in was all negated by his big frame, and soon the penguin gave up, before the Rocky lyrics were sung. Sweat was pouring down his blue face, as the king of Dream Land huffed and puffed - but in no condition to blow any little piggie's house down.
"I don't think I can do it, I give up..." declared King Dedede, alarming Wii Fit Trainer and Sonic very much, but Wii Fit Trainer the most. "I've been giving it my all, and I still see no progress...maybe you guys can, but as for me..."
"Don't give up, King Dedede, I know you can do it!" Wii Fit got on the floor on her hands and knees, looking at Dedede straight in the eye. "You may not see it, but Sonic and I have, and we see progress - we see a seemingly changed person, the progress we see is more than just physical! The previous King Dedede would have whined about having to do these grueling workouts, and would have thrown in the towel right from the start. But you're changed now, you've gradually changed in front of the eyes of Sonic and I, and for that..."
Suddenly something clicked inside Wii Fit's head, as the trainer stopped speaking, like some important realization had formed in her head. Sonic and King Dedede briefly looked at one another, wondering what was going on.
"Um, Wii Fit, you feeling alright, why'd you stop?" questioned Sonic; what happened next may or may not disturb you to some degree.
"And for that..." Wii Fit Trainer picked up from where she left off, "...I love you very, very much." She said this rather romantically, and it was enough to make Sonic a little sick. King Dedede would have been disgusted as well, the thought of Wii Fit Trainer falling in love with him possibly unnerving the penguin, but however...
"I love you very much too, babe.." King Dedede said to Wii Fit Trainer, and then the penguin and Wii Fit started making out on the fitness center floor, making Sonic even more sick. A barf bag would come in handy right now.
Sonic: Okay, just let me get this off of my chest for good...the sight of King Dedede and Wii Fit Trainer kissing one another, on the lips, was perhaps the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. *thinks for a brief moment* Actually, that was the second most disturbing thing I've ever seen. The most disturbing thing I've ever seen would probably be seeing Luigi naked in the bathroom, after finishing taking a shower. Does that man believe in locking bathroom doors? I guess not...I mean, he left his entire house unlocked during the Disney World vacation. His coffee maker was absolutely ripe for the taking!
"Darn it Mario, thanks to your gas station visit and filling up the car's gas tank, we've arrived at Canlis on a very late notice!" frowned Donkey Kong as he, Mario, and Diddy Kong got out of the car at the Canlis parking lot. Mario and DK only came just to see how Diddy would fare on his first date, in case you didn't know yet. "Poor Dixie must be waiting tirelessly for her Prince Charming to arrive, and you've been holding things up!"
"Oh, so it's-a MY fault the gas pump refused-a to cooperate!" Mario fired back, putting the blame on some lousy gas pump because he was the most notable Nintendo person and was probably deflecting all of the blame. "Maybe you should have-a filled up the gas-a tank!"
"Can you two please stop arguing, I wanna start my date off on a positive note!" shouted Diddy Kong, bringing the short argument to a solemn end. Mario and Donkey Kong quickly put their differences aside, at least for the time being, that is...
The threesome of Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, and Mario entered the Canlis restaurant, and soaked up the atmosphere - a very formal, orientated atmosphere. A waiter was standing at the front podium, and Diddy Kong ran up to said waiter, with Mario and Donkey Kong tagging along.
"Hello there, good sir - I do believe I reserved a date here at Canlis," the spidermonkey greeted the waiter, who glanced at the primate and then looked up at Mario and Donkey Kong, both video game icons towering over Diddy (though Mario wasn't towering as much).
"You reserved a date for Mario and Donkey Kong - an Italian plumber and a gorilla?" questioned the waiter, alarming Diddy. Time to clear things up before the waiter started generating some ideas in his head...
"No, you got it all wrong, let me clarify...I reserved a date for me and my woman, Dixie Kong. She must have arrived long before I did." The waiter nodded, now having received this bit of clarification from Diddy Kong.
"Ah yes, Dixie Kong...she has been waiting for your arrival, and now that you're here, it seems like her patience has finally paid off. Your date is seated over there, in the far right corner of the restaurant." The waiter pointed to where Dixie Kong was, and Diddy and company went in that direction. Dixie was seated at the table, with her adorned pink dress; she couldn't have picked a more perfect outfit for her first date with Diddy.
Snake: Yes, yes, I'm aware of Diddy Kong going on his date with Dixie Kong, my memory loss isn't failing me now...though it will fail me whenever I have to use the bathroom, can't wet my spy suit again. Speaking of Diddy's date, Hisui did a bet with me, and I can only win the bet if Diddy somehow screws up his date with Dixie. A guy like myself would spy on Diddy, but I've been spying on two previous romantic dates in the past, and spying on this one would be deemed cheating. Like the old saying goes, cheaters get stitches...or is it snitches who get stitches? Why would they even need stitches in the first place?
"Hi Dixie Kong, you look extremely nice today," Diddy greeted his date, complimenting her good looks and her dress; Mario and Donkey Kong sat at an occupied table, watching all the action unfold without Dixie having to see them.
"Oh, hello there, Diddy Kong, about time you showed up..." replied Dixie; the way she sounded, it seemed like she didn't want to see Diddy. All that waiting must have taken all the emotion and joy out of her system.
"What's wrong Dixie, you're not excited to see me? Did I have you waiting too long? It was Mario's fault, he drove me to this restaurant and thanks to his little pit stop, we arrived very late, so you can put all the blame on him!" Mario felt unpleasant about Diddy Kong designating him as the blame guy, and wished to give the spidermonkey a piece of his mind, but suddenly remembered that he was in a restaurant, a restaurant full of people that wouldn't hestiate in the slightest to whip out their smartphones and record some nifty footage of a grown Italian man berating the ever-living heck out of an innocent spidermonkey embarking on a date.
"The long wait is one reason for my lack of excitement...my other reason is that...is that I'm not really that interested in you anymore, Diddy. At least along the terms of love and romance." This remark obviously broke Diddy's poor heart, and shocked Mario and Donkey Kong. How on earth could Dixie no longer love Diddy, this was the same chick who texted the spidermonkey nonstop back in episode 38, when Diddy constantly pestered Robin for some love advice!
"So you're saying that you no longer love me?! Why didn't you tell me this before, DK and I practically worked our butts off to afford a reservation at this restaurant, it was supposed to be our special moment, me and you! If you don't want to go on a date with me...then who else do you want a date with?"
"Sorry I'm so late babe...it was all on late notice," said a low, broad voice, a voice that Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, and Mario knew too well. "I was a little busy taking care of some business with the Black Arms, and thankfully the government didn't get involved in my affairs..." This voice belonged to an anti-hero, it belonged to an all-powerful being, and most importantly, it belonged to a hedgehog...Shadow the Hedgehog. Diddy and company looked on in sheer shock as Shadow strutted his way to Dixie's table, with a smile that one would be hard-pressed to see on the hedgehog's face. Shadow would lightly brush Diddy aside as he walked towards Dixie, holding a rose in his hand.
"About time you arrived Shadow, you kept me waiting..." Dixie was now smiling, as Shadow sat at the table and placed his rose on the table, pushing the rose with his index finger towards Dixie, who was smiling even harder. Diddy held his head down in sadness, his perfect day ruined by Shadow...but since when was Shadow ever the romantic type?
"Shadow shouldn't-a be this romantic, or show so much-a emotion..." Mario stroked his chin, observing how romantic Shadow was with Dixie. "Clearly there's-a something going on that's-a causing Shadow's change-a in behavior." Donkey Kong agreed with a nod of his head.
Proto Man: Okay, this has seriously gotten out of hand...nearly everyone in the mansion is falling in love, it seems like. Link and Samus...Rosalina and Cilan...Wendy Koopa and Knuckles... *shudders* Who could possibly be next?
"He is MY man, get your filthy claws off of him!" Tsubasa lashed out at Eleonora, as the two Star Records employees were fighting over Hisui in the middle of the hallway, with Tsubasa tugging on Hisui's right arm, and Eleonora tugging on the dude's left arm.
"You're wrong, Hisui is mine, mine for the taking!" Eleonora retorted, tugging on Hisui's arm and bringing him over to her side. "You don't deserve Hisui, or any other man in this mansion!"
"The chicks, they really dig me," grinned Hisui, the lowkey ladies man; he could care less if Tsubasa and Eleonora were fighting for his love and affection, as long as more chicks were fighting for him - the more ladies, the better! While Tsubasa and Eleonora continued to fight over Hisui, Birdo was holding her man Robin by the hand as she led the mage throughout the hallway...and Robin was allowing this to happen!
"Where are we going to, my love?" asked Robin, who was once running away from Birdo in the two previous episodes, now enamored with the bird creature and seemingly pushing his girlfriend Lucina to the side.
"Wherever our loves takes us, dear Robin, just hold your horses!" replied Birdo as she led Robin to who-knows-where, as the bird creature and the mage walked past Proto Man, who was left shaking his head in distraught. Who would ever imagine Robin hooking up with Birdo after being disgusted with her for the past two weeks?
"This day just keeps on getting weirder and weirder..." remarked Proto Man, before he heard a knock at the front door. Proto Man, who was already on the first floor, dashed to the front door and opened it, surprised to see a lovely woman, with her pink hair in long ponytails and red-shaded glasses over her eyes, with a sleeveless black turtleneck and red pants to boot. Proto Man quickly recognized who this woman was. "Kalos Elite Four member Malva?!" he blurted out in shock.
"Greetings, adorably cute red robot," smiled Malva, leaving Proto Man to wonder whether Malva was complimenting her or not. The robot had learned from Cilan about how Malva tended to operate, in terms of personality and getting along with others. "Is Mr. Game and Watch here? Had to quit my Holo Caster broadcast in order to..."
"I'm right over here babe!" Mr. Game and Watch called out to Malva; he was busy sweeping the floor until he dropped the broom onto the floor...out of the name of love. Proto Man watched in horror as Malva made her way inside the mansion and strutted towards Mr. Game and Watch...and gave him a kiss on his head.
"My apologies for being away from you for so long, you know how busy it is being a news reporter and all..." Malva grabbed Mr. Game and Watch's hand, and led him out of the foyer, while Proto Man looked on in disgust. "How about we make up for some lost time?"
"You don't have to ask me twice! I know, let's go over to the gaming room, on the third floor - that's the best place for making out!" Proto Man awkwardly closed the door and walked away, hoping to get the mental image of Malva and Mr. Game and Watch out of his head sometime soon.
Proto Man: Malva and Mr. Game and Watch? Now that's the most disturbing pairing I have seen all day long. *pauses* ...and I think I know who would come up with such a demented pairing in the first place! But I can't deal with this situation alone though...it might take a Blue Bomber or two to solve this little crisis...
"Are you really sure he's the one behind this mess?" Yuffie asked Sheik, as the two female ninjas and Greninja were patrolling the mansion for the culprit responsible for the strange pairings that have been happening today. Cloud, Ness, and Toon Link had told Zelda about Link falling in love with Samus, and then told the princess about all the other couples that transpired out of nowhere, and then Ness offered his take on who the bozo making these couples come to existence was. And now Zelda, taking up the persona of Sheik, rounded up her crew and were looking for this suspect.
"Ness clearly stated who it was, and our suspect has a long history of..." Sheik stated before receiving a tap on her shoulder from Greninja. "What is it Greninja, did you find him?"
"Gre, gre, Greninja!" stated the ninja Pokemon, pointing far down the hallway at not the culprit, but a group of seven individuals walking towards the ninja trio. Sheik squinted her eyes, trying to make out who this seven was.
"Let's see...there's Fox and Falco...Pit and Kirby...Itsuki and Touma...why does the seventh guy look somewhat familiar?" The seventh guy Sheik was referring to was the pixelated Roman Reigns, who judging by his facial expression was looking for a fight. The ninjas would have hid in a hiding spot, but it was too late, for Reigns and company had caught up to them.
"Hey you guys, look who's here, it's Roman Reigns!" exclaimed Pit, pointing at the pixelated wrestler. "Say hi to Sheik, Yuffie, and Greninja Reigns!" Reigns didn't greet the ninjas - he just wanted to challenge them to a three-on-one fight. No challenge was too big for the big dawg.
"The blue frog guy doesn't look so shabby to me," Reigns whispered inside Fox's ear, not in the slightest intimidated by Greninja. He could turn the ninja Pokemon into frog sushi in just the blink of an eye.
"Well he is a Pokemon, so..." stated Fox. He and Falco would have returned Reigns to where he belonged, but Pit and Kirby indulged the Star Fox pilots to keep the Samoan wrestler around, just for fun.
Reigns: They call this place the Smash Manison? *scoffs, then chuckles* So far it has been anything BUT the Smash Mansion, it's like they've taken the word "Smash" out of it and replaced it with "Love"! Seriously, all I ever see is folks either being romantic or making out with one another, it's like some crazy disease hit this place! When I was brought here to this mansion, I expected to see a fight, not some Bachelor crap everywhere I go!
"Lemme guess - Pit and Kirby are the reason why there's a pixelated wrestler in the mansion," guessed Yuffie. The ninja wrestler was somewhat right - Itsuki was responsible for warping Reigns out of the TV, but Pit and Kirby wished to keep Reigns around.
"Actually it was my doing; we were watching a few wrestling clips in the movie room, and I accidentally pressed the wrong button on the VCR and that's why Reigns is here with us," explained Itsuki. "He claims that he's looking for a fight, and so we've been walking around the mansion for a challenger of sorts to fulfill his desire to fight someone. Given that he's pixelated, I doubt that he can hurt us..."
"Well why don't we just see for ourselves?" Reigns punched Itsuki's left arm, and the dude yelped in pain and clutched the place where he was punched. "Pfft, I bet I didn't hit that hard...what a wimp."
Suddenly Reigns and company heard a muffled voice, coming from a nearby closet - a closet next to Sheik. The Hylian ninja kicked the closet door down with authority, and was surprised to see who was inside - Ashley's assistant Red, bound and gagged to a chair.
"Red!" Sheik yelled out the imp's name as she entered the closet and untied the imp, then taking the duct tape off his mouth. "Who did this to you, who in their right mind would tie you up and lock you inside a closet?"
"If I recall correctly, it was some eyepatch man wearing a black coat," replied Red. An eyepatch man wearing a black coat?! That could mean only one thing...
Xemnas stood outside in front of the mansion's lake, laughing like a maniac as Red walked up to the Nobody. No, this wasn't Red the Pokemon Trainer, it was Red the assistant of Ashley. But now you're thinking, "How could Red be outside with Xemnas, when he was with Sheik and the others?"
The Red that was with Xemnas? He was holding an orb in his hands - the Jade Orb. And he suddenly transformed into a Dusk Nobody, and handed the orb to Xemnas, meaning that the Red outside was an imposter.
"Our little spy of ours certainly did the trick, did he not?" grinned Xigbar as he approached Xemnas, who was now holding the Jade Orb in his hand. "Gave the notebook to the right person, and then take the Jade Orb out of the mansion while everyone was making out? Genius!"
Xigbar: At our last Organization meeting, my man Xemnas was going into detail about how he saw this powerful dragon called Rayquaza out at the mansion's lake, and our boss was interested in turning this Rayquaza into a Heartless. Given that Rayquaza's a dragon and all, I already got in mind what kind of Heartless he shall be...Oh, so Rayquaza doesn't have a gender because it's "legendary"? Good to know... *nods his head*
"With everyone distracted, our plan can go as planned without interruption, and we can destroy this putrid city with an iron fist!" stated Xemnas, as he held the Jade Orb up at the sky. The orb started glowing green, and moments later, Rayquaza descended from the sky, greeting Xemnas and Xigbar with a deafening roar.
"So that's Rayquaza, huh?" Xigbar stroked his chin while sporting a grin. "Didn't expect it to be so skinny...but I can't imagine how much damage it can do to this city once we turn it into a Heartless..."
"One thing I can guarantee you Xigbar...the destruction shall be glorious..." At this point, nothing could deter Xemnas and Xigbar from their devious plans.
Like Sheik, Greninja, and Yuffie, the threesome of Cloud, Ness, and Toon Link were looking for the whereabouts of the culprit Ness believed to be behind the strange pairings that have been happening today. Their search led them to the kitchen, where Palutena and Dunban were smooching on top of the kitchen counter. You seriously couldn't make this stuff up.
"Please get a room, you two..." Cloud said to the the Homs and the goddess of light as he opened a kitchen cabinet...and saw Yoshi inside, writing away furiously in a notebook of his. "The heck are you even doing in here?" Cloud snatched the green dinosaur from the cabinet and showed him to Ness and Toon Link.
"Yeah, that's the guy, that's the one we're looking for!" Ness pointed at Yoshi, who was now feigning innocence. "Let's bring him over to the dining room, ask him a bunch of questions!" So Cloud would bring Yoshi to the dining room, where Ashley and Mamori were present, with Ashley on a laptop editing a video - the first episode of Microwave Idol Mamorin.
"Look here, you guys, Mamori and I are busy editing this video and upload it online, so if...you...don't..." Ashley started once she heard footsteps enter the dining room, only to trail off when she looked up and saw Yoshi, being held by Cloud. And in his hands was a notebook.
"Hiya Ashley, how's your Microwave Idol Mamorin thing coming along, you finished already?" Yoshi asked the young witch, before Cloud sat the green dinosaur into a chair with aggression. The swordsman then snatched the notebook out of Yoshi's hand and looked through it, seeing things like "Link-Samus", "Palutena-Dunban", "Malva-Mr. Game and Watch"...maybe Ness really was right about Yoshi.
"Yoshi, where did you get this notebook from, and how did you acquire it?" Cloud interrogated the green dinosaur about the notebook; the swordsman had seen enough, seeing Malva's name tied to Mr. Game and Watch's was unsettling for him.
"Got it from Red, he was outside the kitchen and he was writing stuff in it, and he made a Goomba come to life, and then he gave the notebook to me, and then I wrote down all my awesome pairings down in the notebook and made them come to life, and then..." Yoshi ran his mouth about the notebook, before Toon Link motioned the dinosaur to hush; Cloud and company had heard enough.
Mamori: The first Americanized episode of Microwave Idol Mamorin...was great! Got a lot of cooking and singing done, and although she refused to show it through that blank stare of hers, Ashley had a lot of fun being on the show! I wished Cilan was there to serve as our guest star...
"Red was hanging around outside the kitchen?" frowned Ashley, her eyes close to turning red. That would be a red flag for Cloud and company to back away from the young witch as much as possible. "I told that imp to stay in the room until I was done with Mamori..."
"You mean this imp?" asked Sheik, who was standing at the dining room entrance with Yuffie, Greninja...and Red, who was more than delighted to see Ashley. The imp excitedly ran to Ashley and leaped into her arms, givign her a hug, and Ashley hugged the imp back...and boy was it awkward. "Glad we found you Ashley...your assistant was trapped inside a closet, and he said he was tied up by a man in a black coat - likely from the Organization."
"Did you ever give a notebook to Yoshi?" Ashley asked Red - the real Red and not the Red that was actually a Nobody. "Yoshi claimed that you were the one who gave him this notebook..." The young witch held up the notebook for Red to see, but the imp furrowed his brow, indicating that he never saw it before.
"Nope, I never interacted with Yoshi at all today...but I do recall this jumpsuit guy turning into me before I was trapped in the closet," explained Red, as Cloud and the others listened attentively. "Maybe he was the one who gave away that notebook!"
"I'm telling you man, we need to make all these couples break up, you really think Master Hand would appreciate all the romance taking place in his household?" Proto Man asked Mega Man, conversing with the robot and X, Zero, .EXE, and Mewtwo in the movie room.
"Like I said before Proto Man, it would be impossible to make everybody break up with each other all at once, we would have to gather everyone inside a large room for our plan to actually work," stated Zero, fixing his blonde hair. "And you know how much trouble that would be..."
"What do you have to say Mewtwo, you've been quiet during this whole meeting!" .EXE said to the psychic Pokemon, whose eyes were closed as he was deep in thought. "We would really like to hear your input!" Suddenly Mewtwo's eyes opened, and .EXE leaned in closer to hear what the Pokemon had to say...
"I detect an evil presence in the city of Seattle..." said Mewtwo, making out a mental image in his head. "I detect...a giant flying Heartless! And the Organization XIII is riding on top of it - two members, to be exact! The Heartless hasn't destroyed anything yet, so that's a positive..."
"Oh great, first everyone in the mansion is practically in love, and now there's a giant Heartless in the city, what could possibly happen next?!" frowned Proto Man, and right on cue, the group of Fox, Falco, Itsuki, Touma, Pit, and Kirby returned to the movie room...and the pixelated Roman Reigns was still with them.
Reigns: This place flat out sucks...all that walking I did with the boys, and nobody wanted to challenge me to a fight...they would rather kiss and smooch all day long than fight me! The ones that I fought would be worthy opponents, they were too in love to do a single thing! At this point, I would just fight some local jobber and get it done with...
"Sorry we couldn't find you a worthy opponent to fight, bro," Falco patted Reigns on the shoulder; Reigns had saw Ryu, Heihachi, Akuma, and Akira all in the mansion and wanted to fight either one of them, but Ryu and Heihachi were stuck in a love triangle with Bayonetta, and Akuma and Akira were stuck in another love triangle with Star Records secretary Ayaha - all thanks to Yoshi and his matchmaking shenanigans.
"It's okay man, nobody wanted to fight me, I understand..." replied Reigns, before looking up and seeing Mega Man and company before him. "Well there goes some great opponents, nothing like some powerful robots to beat up, amirite?" Mega Man and the others weren't interested in fighting Reigns...they were interested in using the pixelated wrestler to fight someone else.
"Good thing I had upgraded the teleportation device..." remarked X, knowing what use Reigns could be of.
Diddy Kong sat outside Canlis with Mario and Donkey Kong, looking down at the ground still wearing his tuxedo shirt. Mario would have taken the Kongs back to the mansion, but Diddy was too defeated to get inside the car. To think his girl Dixie Kong was now in love with Shadow...if only he knew that Yoshi was responsible for inadvertently breaking his heart.
"Look on the bright side, my boy - at least Dixie wouldn't have to worry about being single!" grinned Donkey Kong, nudging Diddy...who looked up at his uncle with a crazy expression on his face. Mario looked up at the sky, and gasped in fright as he saw a giant beast flying towards Canlis, with the Heartless insignia on its mouth. This beast was a Heartless known as the Storm Rider, and Xemnas and Xigbar were riding on top of it, looking down at the city.
"Giant Heart-a Less spotted at three-a o'clock!" Mario alerted the Kongs, as Donkey Kong and Diddy got up and saw the Storm Rider fly towards them. They could tell that the heartless was coming towards them - they were just trying to figure out how to take care of the flying beast.
"My Rocketbarrel backpack would really come in handy right now..." said Diddy Kong, before he noticed a muscular figure warp unto the Storm Rider, catching the attention of Xemnas and Xigbar. "Is that who I think it is?"
The person that was now on top of the Storm Rider with Xemnas and Xigbar? It was none other than the pixelated Roman Reigns, who who taunted Xemnas and Xigbar before running up to them and delivering his trademark Superman punch, knocking them off the Heartless. The two Nobodies would fall to the ground, near Mario and company, as Reigns delivered a very wicked punch to the Storm Rider, causing the Heartless to yelp out in pain as it fell to the ground, as far away from Canlis as possible.
X: Yeah, I gave the teleportation device a new upgrade - you can enter something like, "random coffee shop in Milwaukee" and the device will warp you to any coffee shop in Milwaukee. So I typed in "flying giant Heartless piloted by Organization XIII in Seattle", and just like that, the device warped the pixelated Reigns to the Heartless's current location...or so I hope. *clasps hands together, as if he was praying* Please work, please work, please work...
"We've been bested...by some pixelated peon?!" Xemnas frowned as he and Xigbar got up from the ground, only to see Mario, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong ready to fight the both of them. After seeing how their evil plot turned out, Xemnas and Xigbar were in no mood for fighting.
"This ain't over yet - just be glad you never got to fight any Heartless!" Xigbar pointed at Mario and company, summoning a corridor of darkness. "Trust me, we have plenty of other Heartless at our disposal - some much stronger than the one you saw in the skies! Better be prepared, if you know what's good for ya!" And with that, Xigbar and Xemnas went through the corridor of darkness - bitter about their defeat but confident that they would get the job done next time around. Once the corridor of darkness went away, the cry of Rayquaza was heard, as he flew up from where the Storm Rider had landed. In case you didn't know already, Rayquaza was the Storm Rider, having been turned into a Heartless by Xigbar. Now back to normal, Rayquaza flew away, as Mario and the Kongs looked on.
"Didn't Aerith once say that if you become a Heartless you return to your original form once you're defeated?" asked Donkey Kong, recollecting the bits of information Aerith would tell him and the others about the Heartless. Diddy Kong looked down and saw the Jade Orb on the ground - likely dropped by Xemnas as he landed - and picked it up. "Is it even possible for Pokemon to become Heartless?"
"Well it's great-a to know the rules-a that apply in Aerith's-a universe also apply to-a ours," remarked Mario. The plumber looked to his right, and jumped in fright when he saw Reigns, in his pixelated glory.
"Roman Reigns, pleasure to meet you," the pixelated wrestler held out his hand to Mario, who nervously shook it. "I take it that you're the famous Mario? Never thought we would ever meet, but here we are...granted I may be some pixelated dude, but hey, I'll take whatever I can get..."
Before Mario could have a chance to speak to Reigns, the pixelated wrestler suddenly faded away, as his pixels slowly dispersed one by one, meaning that X was most likely warping Reigns back to the mansion. Mewtwo must have detected that the Storm Rider was gone, and therefore it was time for Reigns to return.
"There you are, my sweet babboo!" Dixie Kong suddenly rushed out of Canlis, channeling her inner Sally Brown, as she ran up to Diddy Kong and gave him a hug. It wasn't a bone-crushing hug, but it most definitely surprised Diddy.
"What are you doing outside Dixie?" questioned Diddy, as he looked back and saw Shadow exit Canlis, frowning with the rose in his hand. "Did you and Shadow break up or something?"
"Shadow broke up with me! Actually, I don't exactly remember what happened, it was weird - it seemed like Shadow and I were in love, and then a moment later we were no longer...in love. So I guess we're still boyfriend-girlfriend!" Just like that, Diddy's broken heart was mended back together again.
Shadow: Before I move the embarrassment of falling in love with a monkey and going on a date with her at a restaurant chock full of people behind me forever, I have these three words to say...love is overrated. *tosses rose into a nearby lake and walks away*
"All's well that ends-a well..." Mario smiled as he watched Diddy and Dixie embrace one another with Donkey Kong. "But I must-a say, how on earth-a did Shadow and Dixie become-a enamored with one another?"
The reason for the Dixie-Shadow couple was none other than Yoshi, scribbling this odd couple down in a notebook a Dusk Nobody in the form of Red had given him - and now this notebook was being burned by Tails, who had lit the book on fire. The yellow fox and Master Hand returned from their Lamborghini ride, and after Toon Link told Master Hand about Yoshi's shenanigans, Master Hand ordered Yoshi to give the notebook to Tails, so the yellow fox could burn it to smithereens. The burning took place outside, with Zelda, Cloud, Ness, Toon Link, Ashley, Mamori, Yuffie, and Greninja witnessing the act.
"Ugh, what happened..." Link wondered as he arrived at the scene, rubbing his head. "Samus slapped the crap out of me for no reason..." The Hylian had proof of this, as evidenced by the red marks all over his face.
"You were being romantic with Samus in the gaming room and doing all sorts of romantic things with her," explained Zelda; Link suddenly felt naseous, as he ran to the mansion's lake and threw up in it. Those poor water-type Pokemon swimming in the lake...
"Please come back babe, we were just getting started!" Mr. Game and Watch cried out to Malva, the 2-D man holding onto the reporter's ankle as Malva exited the mansion through the front door, having to drag Mr. Game and Watch with her. "You can always come back!"
"I don't know how I got here, and I don't know why I'm here either, now leave me alone!" Malva snapped on Mr. Game and Watch, shaking him loose. "I never want to see you again!" Malva marched away, leaving a somber Mr. Game and Watch on the ground wailing. His Dynatox voice thingamajig wasn't doing him any favors.
"Let's see, King Dedede, you have lost...fifty pounds!" exclaimed Wii Fit Trainer, reading the fat penguin's weight on a scale with Sonic. Wii Fit and Dedede were no longer in love (thank goodness), and with both brawlers feeling awkward afterwards, they decided to call it quits for today's exercising. "Told you some progress was made!"
"Yeah, I should have known better than to doubt myself, I'm kinda surprised with how well I did today," remarked King Dedede, patting his tummy. "Still think that my frame looks the same, doesn't look like I lost fifty pounds to me...but I sure do feel good!"
"As long as you don't make out with Wii Fit the next time we do the exercise stuff..." Sonic began, only to receive a glare from both King Dedede and Wii Fit Trainer. "What, it wasn't like I was making fun of either one of you, I was very much disgusted!"
Sonic: *snickers as he holds up his cellphone* Got the entire kissing session all on my phone...a million views on YouTube, here I come...
"Well I'm glad that we can finally put that little incident behind us once and for all," Wii Fit Trainer said as she grabbed her white towel and placed it behind her neck, now calling it a day. "I'm gonna go get me a snack now, there should be some malasadas left in the kitchen!" So Wii Fit left the fitness center, and to her surprise, she saw a depressed Yoshi, sitting near the entrance with his head down. "So I heard that you were the one who paired me up with King Dedede and made all those other crazy pairings, is that right?" Wii Fit asked Yoshi, sitting down next to the green dinosaur while a screaming Robin ran down the hall past the fitness center entrance with Birdo hot on his heels.
"That notebook was my only chance to make my dreams come true...to make my awesome pairings real..." sighed Yoshi. Awesome pairings? Ha! "But all I did was cause a huge mess, and if what Zelda said was true, I've allowed the Organization XIII to carry out their nefarious plans while everyone was kissing and stuff..."
"You should know better than to play with the emotions and feelings of other people - you think you caused harms to folks who were in a relationship, having their heart broken because their lover suddenly fell in love with another person?" Diddy Kong certainly comes to mind. "Even worse, what if the Organization's plan was a success, that would be even more harmful!"
"I think I learned my lesson today...might as well give up writing romantic fanfiction altogether..." That would be a huge blessing.
"No, I don't think that would be necessary - just don't do anything like that again, writing into some magical notebook and making your pairings come to life. Messing with people's emotions and especially their love life, that's not right." Wii Fit Trainer got up after saying this. "But it's good that you learned that the hard way." And with that, the fitness center walked away, leaving Yoshi alone...until the pixelated Reigns walked by, accompanied by Pit and Kirby fawning over him. Fox and Falco agreed to have the two best friends hang out with Reigns before they warped him back inside that wrestling video.
"Roman Reigns you're so awesome, there should be a new word in the dictionary to describe how awesome you are!" Pit gushed all over Reigns, who was sporting a confident smile on his face as he walked. "Why are you so awesome Reigns, tell us your secret!"
"Sorry kid, but I don't really have a secret...I just do things," responded Reigns, making Pit and Kirby all giddy inside. "If anything, I just make sure not to mess with the wrong people, or mess with people and their emotions at all unless there's something good out of it. Could get yourself in a whole heap of trouble!"
As the pixelated Reigns and his groupies walked by, Yoshi nodded his head with a smile. Not mess with people, and their emotions...something the green dinosaur should have done today.
