-The Arrival-

The Hands entered the door and everyone cheered. They threw a party. Once the party was over, The Hands made an announcement.

Master H: "May I have everyone's attention please?"

The smashers, assist trophies, spirits, and visitors turned their attention to Master Hand. They all waited for the big announcement.

Master H: "Mario and Mickey informed me about the imposter that's been roaming my mansion."

Crazy H: "We're gonna like totes find this bitch and-

Master H: "Crazy Hand language please. This is serious."

Crazy H: "Whatever, Master bro."

Master H: "Anyway, Crazy and I will create a barrier."

Crazy H: "It's gonna be totes wicked."

Master H: "With this barrier, the imposter will either can't get in, or be stuck here so they have nowhere to escape."

Crazy H: "Don't worry about being trapped here. We know who passes through or not. Everyone's allowed to leave the barrier."

Master H: "Unfortunately, since the imposter was able to compete in the last big tournament, the game thinks she's a part of smash. This means, I'm going to have to verify each and everyone one of you individually."

Crazy H: "Anyone with a magical stamp made by us can go through the barrier at any time."

Master H: "Any questions?"

Joker raised his hand.

Master H: "Yes?"

Joker: "What if you forget one?"

Crazy H: "Bitch please, we're gods. We don't make mistakes."

Joker: "Then how did you guys let the imposter roam around free."

Crazy H: "We weren't here. It doesn't count."

Master H: "I promise, we'll make sure that everyone here has a magical stamp. We're all going to the auditorium as of now. Crazy Hand will have a list and we are going to go through every character."

Joker: "There's so many of us, what if you forget one?"

Master H: "I will not. Any other questions?"

Byleth (M): "Yes. Where's Paluntena?"

Crazy H: "She won a whole year vacation. It's only been 8 months since we left."

Byleth (M): "Seriously?"

Master H: "Yes. I asked if she wanted to return, but she refused."

Byleth: "What if she wants to get into the mansion all of the sudden?"

Crazy H: "We already stamped her."

Master H: "Any other questions?"

Toon Link: "What about the Travel Machine?"

Master H: "For now until we can find the imposter, it is discontinued."

Toon Link: "Wait, I have a friend that's going to visit me soon. How is she going to get in?"

Crazy H: "It's simple. She can't! Not until we catch the imposter."

Toon Link: "What! That's bullshit!"

Master H: "We can't risk it. The Travel Machine is dangerous at the moment."

Sora: "I have a question."

Master H: "Yes?"

Sora: "So what's the game plan?"

Crazy H: "What do you mean?"

Sora: "Do we have a plan on finding the imposter?"

Master H: "Yes. Every night half of the smash roster will look for the imposter outside of the barrier. The spirits and assist trophies will look in the smash plaza. We're going to create search teams."

Sora: "Makes sense."

Crazy H: "That bitch could be anywhere. We need all the help we can get and that includes everyone."

Master H: "Any other questions?"

Everyone went silent.

Master H: "That settles it. Unfortunately because creating a barrier this large takes a lot of energy, Crazy and I can't go around looking for the imposter. We're not even sure how long we can keep the barrier going. We need everyone's help to find her as soon as possible."

Everyone understood the assignment. When the announcement was over, they all went to the auditorium. Everyone including spirits, Pokemon, and assist trophies got stamped. The Hands checked everyone off their list. They made sure to triple check. There were a few people missing such as some spirits, Mario, and Luigi. The Hands figured that the spirits left before they got here. Some did use the Travel Machine to leave before The Hands decided to go vacation. The Hands asked where Mario and Luigi were and Peach said that Mario is going to get him. They sighed and started waiting for them as Peach sent Mario a text saying to come to the auditorium.

-In Popstar-

Kirby felt a tug. It's a fish! She jumped up and pulled it. It fought hard, but she was able to fish it out. The poor fish was flopping around. She grabbed it and kissed it. She then transformed into Mermaid Kirby. She gently tossed it back in the water and joined it.

She avoided as many fights as possible. However, she could not avoid them all. She had to fight Paint Roller. A Kirby boss who goes way back. She went back to her original state. Mermaid Kirby won't be helpful in this matchup. Paint Roller started painting something on a canvas. It painted a baseball and it came to life. The baseball flung itself straight at her. It hit her right on the face. She put her hands on her face and groaned in pain.

Paint Roller wasn't done, it painted another picture. It painted a car. The car raced towards her. She jumped out of the way. She turned around and thought it was going to chase her, but it kept driving away. She forgot how easy this boss was. However, she can't suck up the painting like before. She has to kiss or straight up attack Paint Roller.

Paint Roller started painting another picture. The pictures that fly at her are a little too fast, so she charged at the painter itself. She ran at Paint Roller, but he skated away and started and went to a different easel. She chased after him, but every time she got close, he used his roller skates to quickly escape her wrath. She can't catch him like this. He kept painting and they kept coming alive to kill her. She was able to dodge a lot of the attacks like the baseball, a random waddle dee, and more cars.

Kirby was slowly losing momentum. She can't keep this up forever. Neither could Paint Roller, but it sure had more stamina than her. All it had to do was skate around and paint. She collapsed on the floor and started panting. Paint Roller gave her a sinister look. It started painting once more. Is it going to paint a giant bomb and blow this place up?! There's no way she can outrun a bomb in her current position. She braced for impact, but Paint Roller didn't paint a bomb. He painted a mike. The Mike had tiny legs and it ran at her screaming.

The screaming pierced her ears. She was forced to cover them with her hands. However, Paint Roller made a mistake. She continued to cover her ears, but she stood up and started walking towards it. The Mike was taken aback. Why wasn't she screaming and crying in pain? It screamed louder, but it didn't phase her. She eventually grabbed it. Sure, her ears started to bleed, but she was determined. She kissed it and turned into Mike Kirby. She screamed back at both of them. Paint Roller and The Mike monster exploded into dust. She released her power and sat down to take a quick break. Great that's one of the bosses down. Only... 5 more levels and bosses to go... This is going to be a long journey.

-The Cave-

Mario: "Ness… What did you do to my brother?"

Ness: "I didn't do anything."

Mario: "So you weren't the one that beat him up?"

Ness: "Well I did do that but-

Mario: "Oh Ness, remember the last time you hurt my brother? Things didn't end well for you."

Kawasaki: "What happened? I forgot."

Mario: "Shut the hell up, Kawasaki."

Kawasaki: "You guys are being so mean to me today."

Mario: "It's because you're dumb. Anyway, Ness you know the consequences."

Mario started walking toward the psychic. He cracked his knuckles ready to beat some ass.

Ness: "I can explain!"

Mario: "Oh?"

Ness: "Last night Luigi tried to rape me!"

Mario: "And I should believe you because…"

Ness: "Look around you! See that collar? He put it on me."

Mario: "That does explain the collar."

Ness: "He… He touched me."

Gordon: "Ness…"

Mario didn't want to believe it, but the look on Ness's face after that last sentence was all the proof he needed. The red plumber almost felt sorry for him. Almost. He still wasn't going to free him after all this.

Mario: "Well uh… Here, I'll talk to my brother about it."

Ness: "Can he please not be here anymore?"

Mario: "I'll see what I can do."

Ness: "Also Sonic! He hit him with that hammer. Please… Please check if he's ok."

Mario went over to Sonic. He checked his pulse and the hedgehog was still breathing. He'll be fine. The hedgehog has been through worse.

Mario: "He's-a fine."

Gordon: "Thank God."

Mario: "Just in case, I'll bring him medicine."

Gordon: "So you do have a heart."

Mario: "Of course I do. It's-a me, Mario."

Gordon: "Sure." *Rolls his eyes*

Mario: "I'll be back. And Ness… I'm sorry."

Ness couldn't believe his ears. Did Mario apologize? He never does that. Narcissists can feel sorry? No, of course not. He's pretending. He's trying to take him off guard. This has to be a trick. Although he hated to admit it, hearing that was nice.

The group watched Mario take his brother and leave. He took out Mr. Mime and it gave each of them a can of cat food. It also cleaned up the area and took Luigi's stuff with it.

Kawasaki: "So wait, I'm confused, why is Sonic still sleeping?"

Gordon: "He was hit with the hammer."

Kawasaki: "What hammer?"

Gordon: "The one that Mario took away, idiot!"

Kawasaki: "Oh, I see."

Gordon: "Jesus Christ."

Gordon combed back his hair with his hand. He looked at Ness and noticed that he was sitting there hugging his knees. What Luigi did was unforgivable. He's glad that Ness was able to fight him off. Gordon didn't didn't know how he was able to win against Luigi. Then again, Gordon figured that Luigi was drunk. Speaking of drunk, the cave still reeked of alcohol. The scent was coming from Ness. Did Luigi force Ness to drink? Seriously, how did he win in the end? He wanted to ask, but it would be rude. The three of them sat there in silence for the rest of the day.

-Mario's Plan-

Mario took Luigi to the ER once again. He explained to the nurses that his brother went hiking and he got attacked. The nurses were a bit suspicious, but when Mario mentioned that the imposter could've attacked him, they went silent. Now that The Hands are back and talked about how serious the imposter threat is, they believed Mario.

Mario checked his phone and saw that Peach said to go to the auditorium. He got stamped and he told The Hands that Luigi was in the hospital. They went over to him and stamped him and all the nurses and doctors included. Once everyone was stamped, The Hands created the barrier.

With that Mario, went to the bunker to meet up with Mickey and Goofy.

Mickey: "What's up?"

Mario: "Nothing. Let's talk about the plan."

Goofy: "Project: Hands Off is ready to go."

Mario was about to say something, but Metaknight arrived at the scene.

Metaknight: "Kirby escaped."

Mario: "What!"

Mickey: "Ho-ho! I expected it."

Mario: "What do you mean she escaped?"

Metaknight: "She left. I believe she went back home."
Goofy: "For real this time?"

Metaknight: "Yes. I watched it happen. She went to the Travel Machine."

Mario: "Dammit! That place is out of order."

Metaknight: "We can use my Halberd."

Mario: "Perfect!"

Mickey: "Metaknight you and Cyborg Villager will find and bring her to us."
