Kirby approached Metaknight closely. He seemed to be getting nervous, but he gave her consent so it's ok. She lifted up his mask causing everyone who was watching saw his adorable face. He looked so much like Kirby. Seeing him behind the mask made her feel sad. She missed being her old self. However, now is not the time to get distracted.

It all happened so fast. Metaknight gave this woman consent. He wanted a fair fight, but instead she lifted up his mask and kissed him on the lips! He didn't even have a chance to react as he saw this woman transform into what he would look like as a hot chick. Long dark purple hair, a long cape, the mask on the side of her head, she now wore armor on her chest with a cute skirt. She had yellow eyes. She looked beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Crazy hot! Is this what he would look like? D-damn. D-DAMN. DAMN! He could not fight her like this. This… This is actually Kirby. This was all the proof he needed to know if this woman was Kirby or not. And Kirby was… attractive. Very very attractive. Yep it is time for him to go. Seeing Kirby like this is cursed.

Metaknight took a step back. Kirby pulled out her own version of Galaxia. She swung her sword at him. He dodged swiftly, but she kept at it. She did his signature multi sword attack. He couldn't keep up with her new god speed. She flew up in the air looking like a sexy vampire and tornado dived his ass. She hit right on his mask drilling it split open. His face once again, visible for everyone to see. He knew everyone could see his face. He couldn't handle it. Therefore he did what any motherfucker would do, and jumped off the stage. GAME! The winner is Kirby!

Kirby got back to the portal. She felt bad. She showed Metaknight's face to everyone. He'll never forgive her for that. She wants to go find him ASAP. She was about to leave the lobby to look for him, but she got swarmed by the other smashers. They asked her a bunch of questions about her new form. They wondered if she is the real Kirby. What if this woman somehow stole Kirby's power? They demanded answers. She kept telling them that she needs to go and that she is Kirby. However, the smashers were relentless. Questions after questions after questions. It was chaotic. Not even Little Mac could stop them. He tried to fight them off, but they pushed him to the side and began stepping on him.

Little Mac saw the panic on his girlfriend's face. He crawled out of the mob. He looked around the theater lobby for anything. Anything that could possibly distract the other smashers. There's nothing here. He left the theater lobby and saw a door in the hallway. It was the janitor's closet. He tried opening the door, but it was locked. No matter. He punched the fuck out of it. He saw a lone microphone on one of the shelves. Perfect, he could scream at them.

Little Mac ran back to the theater room. Kirby was still stuck, but not for long. He screamed on the mircophone, but it didn't work. Dammit! It needs to be plugged in. A smasher bumped into him as he tried to look for an outlet. The mircophone flew up in the air. Kirby saw this chance. She jumped on Bower Jr's head and grabbed the mike. She kissed it. Her whole outfit changed. She wore a bubbly frilly dress. She had a pink microphone headset. She truly looked like a popstar. She then started singing as loudly as she could. The whole place crumbled a little. If she kept going, then the whole place will collapse. The other smashers covered their ears and stepped back. Perfect! She used this chance to escape.

The first place Kirby searched was at the garden. It was huge, so it took her a bit to cover the entire area, but still no Meta. Next was his room obviously. She knocked but of course no one answered. Where could he be? He's really fast! He could be anywhere at any time. What if he's in the garden again? She checked there again. Nope still no Metaknight. She checked other places like Kawasaki's restaurant but for some reason it's closed. It's never closed this early, especially during tournament season. Hmm, things are getting strange. Maybe Kawasaki is stressed and he needs a break. Anyway, she should find Meta.

Mario watched as Kirby used her copy ability power right in front of everyone. This isn't good. People will start to doubt him. He needs to finally test it. Perhaps someone who was currently in the hospital.

Mario entered the smash ER. He asked the nurse if Dark Pit was still being taken care of. The nurse said yes and gladly walked Mario over to his room.

"Hello, Dark Pit," Mario greeted.

"What do you want?"

"Well uh, I just-a wanted to see how you are doing."

"Fine."

"You don't-a look fine. Wow, she really got you good."

"Thanks. Can you go now?"

"Now that's not a good way to treat your friend."

"You're not my friend."

"Sure I am!"

"Just go. I'm about to nap."

"Well uh, actually I have something for you."

"Not interested."

"It will heal you."

"It?"

"Yes, I have a healing machine."

"Nah, I'm good."

"I think you should reconsider. This machine can get you fighting in the tournament in no time."

"What does it matter? I already lost."

"Well actually, I might have talked The Hands into holding your place."

"Wait, really? So I can still fight?"

"Why of course! You just need to come with me so I can heal you."

"Fine."

Mario grabbed a wheelchair for Dark Pit. The two let the nurses know that Dark Pit didn't want to keep cooped up in the hospital anymore. Honestly it was true. He hated being in that hospital listening to his only visitor which was Pit talk about whatever the fuck. He wanted to get out.

Mario pushed Dark Pit out of the hospital. After a week of being there, he was happy to finally see the mansion again. He couldn't wait to see what the plumber's machine could do for him. Mario happily pushed the angel outside of the mansion and walked him around the garden.

Dark Pit was confused. Why are they in the garden? He was about to question Mario, but the plumber lifted up a secret handle next to the statue fountain. A bunch of buttons popped up on the statue. Mario punched in the code. The statue slowly moved to the side and a whole staircase heading down appeared. It was a secret entrance, but how? He only visited the garden once, so maybe it was a thing that all smashers knew except him. At least the ones that visited the garden often.

The two went down the staircase. They were greeted with what looked like a bunker. Maybe it was a bunker. Ok, yeah this is a bunker for sure. How and why? What is a bunker doing underneath the mansion?

"Hey, so uh, what is this place?" Dark Pit asked.

"Oh uh, this place is a science lab."

"This sure doesn't look like a lab."

"I know, it's a bit gloomy here."

Mario continued to push the Dark Angel farther into the bunker. He was then greeted with giant capsules filled with maybe water inside of them. W-wait. He took a closer look at the things inside the capsules. S-Sonic? What is he doing here? Not just that but there were more capsules with different specimens. One of them looked like Ness, but wasn't fully developed yet. The other looked like it could be a grown man, the one next to the grown disfigured male, was a giant orange jelly bean looking thing. Could that be Kawasaki? What's going on?

"H-hey uh, so what's up with all these guys in these giant capsules?"

"Oh, well you see, this is an experiment that The Hands are doing."

"Master Hand and Crazy Hand are cloning us behind our back?"

"Well no, this is uh, oh fuck it! It doesn't matter anyway. You won't say a thing."

"W-what're you talking about?!"

Mario continued to push Dark Pit further into the corridor of capsules. Most of them were empty, but this didn't mean that they would be empty forever. He's definitely up to something. Was he going to clone Dark Pit too? What happened to their original bodies? In fact, was the Sonic he watched on TV from the hospital a clone? Where is the real Sonic? So many questions! Mario isn't going to give him an answer. He needs to get out of here and tell the other smashers about this place. About Mario! He's evil! He lied about the woman being an imposter. It was Kirby all along! He knew that Kirby told him that Mario cheated on Peach with her instead. He didn't think much of it because it was just a stupid kiss. Was what Kirby said about Mario trying to get rid of her for real? He didn't think much of it at the time.

Mario said everything right to him at the hospital. The plumber knew Dark Pit wanted to join the tournament and leave that depressing place. He knew how desperate Dark Pit would be. After what Kirby said about making everything right, he rolled his eyes. He didn't think Mario was this insane! He looked behind him to see Mario stare him down with a sinister smile. Oh god, he really should've listened to her.

Dark Pit tried to move his wing, but it hurt like hell. His legs were still broken. No, he has to try. He pushed himself off of the wheelchair, causing it to fall on Mario. He then began crawling away from the direction that Mario was pulling him to. Mario pushed the wheelchair off of him and stared at Dark Pit crawling away.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Oh Dark Pit. Are you really trying to do this right now?" Mario laughed.

Dark Pit continued to crawl.

"Oh how cute."

Mario stepped on Dark Pit's leg. Pain was all the angel could feel. It hurt so much. He couldn't crawl anymore. He… he couldn't. The pain was too much. Mario walked in front of him and kicked his face. He then stomped on his hands multiple times, so he would be too weak to crawl. The Angel laid there in pain screaming in pure agony. No one could hear him cry. No one. He prayed that maybe Pit would come and save him. He was annoying, but deep inside, Pit was all he could think of. His other half. He missed hearing that guy rant about stupid shit. He missed his annoying laughter and being jolly all the time.

"Oh, what's-a matter? Thinking about someone coming to save you? Ha! No one can hear you down here," Mario circled the angel.

"W-why are you doing this?"

"Listen, Dark Pit, everything I'm doing is to keep my reputation you see."

"Reputation f-for what? Everyone already fucking loves you."

"And I'd like to keep it that way."

"W-why me?"

"Because you know."

"About Kirby?"

"I know she told you the truth."

"So what? I wasn't going to say anything."

"I don't trust you."

"I didn't take her that seriously when she told me."

"Oh Dark Pit, you think I'm a fool? I can't let you run free. You know. If you know, you know. Besides, I need a test subject."

"T-test subject?!"

"My machine remember?"

"B-but-

Mario scooped Dark Pit up and put him back on the wheelchair.

"Now be a good patient and let me help you."

Mario continued to push Dark Pit toward the machine that was located at the wall. Mario opened it up. It looked like a capsule, but it wasn't see-through like the rest of them.

"W-wait, please!" Dark Pit begged.

"Any last words?"

"I just… What happened to them?"

"Oh you mean your friends?"

"Not my friends, but yes them."

"Don't worry. Even if I told you, you won't remember anyway."

"What d-do you mean by that?"

"You'll see soon enough, my boy."

"W-W-WAIT! N-NO! I PROMISE I WON'T TELL! MARIO I PROMISE I WON'T TELL! I WON'T TELL! I WON'T-
