A/N: Enjoy! I don't own SSBB. Sorry, it took me a long time to type this!

Chapter 14: Monster Mash

The SSBB bus was out of the Spring Festival that was becoming a timbering wreck, as the Smashers sighed in relief.

"What a close call. . ." Ike leaned back letting out a puff of air.

"Where did the monster come from?" Luigi asked, fanning himself with his hat.

"W-who knows," Ness muttered, whistling awkwardly.

"What the?!" Roy's eyes widened in fear. His direction was straight toward the back of the bus, where he witnessed the unbelievable. "The giant blob of booger is right at our tail!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted.

"I see it too!" Zelda said.

"Hurry up, Master Hand, Crazy Hand! Speed the bus up!" Ike yelled.

"I'M AT FULL MAX, DICK NUGGET!" Crazy Hand said.

"That's it, we're dead. . ." Pit cried, squeezing his body. "Lady Palutena, please watch over us."

"It's catching up!" Diddy Kong panicked.

"Someone needs to shoot it! I'm too cute and jiggly to die in this cruel world!" Jigglypuff panicked.

"That's it! Everyone with long-range attacks, let's stop this son of a bitch!" Link said, opening the sunroof of the SSBB bus.

"Yeah! Let's do this!" Fox said.

Link, Miru, Pit, Toon Link, Mr. Game and Watch, Samus, Snake, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, Ice Climbers, Ness, Lucas, Pikachu, Lucario, Mario, Luigi, Fox, Falco, Wolf, King Dedede, Diddy Kong, R.O.B, Pokemon Trainer, and Olimar jumped on top of the bus with their attacks ready.

"I hope this works. . ." Popo gulped.

"We just have to try! On the count of three, we fire!" Link said. "One…! Two…! Three! Fire!"

The Smashers on the rooftop all did their best to attack the monster from afar with whatever could reach the green slob. The damage looked fatal, causing the monster to stop a few times, but it kept slithering in a fast motion.

"Shhhhhiiiiit." Link trailed.

"It's not stopping. . ." Miru said.

"Now what?" Toon Link pouted.

"Retreat!" Pit said.

After the failed attack, all of the Smashers on the roof forced themselves back into the bus. The gooey monster had ranged attacks of its own, spitting out green, slimy balls at the SSBB bus. The bus took the hit, causing it to rock the bus from the impact.

"What the heck was that?!" Diddy Kong panicked once more, hiccuping.

Zelda looked out to the window, seeing smoke sizzling out one of the wheels. "Whatever it was, it had some acidic attack. One of the wheels got hit."

"Why is the bus slowing down?!" Toon Link cried.

"I. . . I just told you."

"SHIT, THE BUS IS SLOWING DOWN. . ." Master Hand said. Just when he said it, the bus went to a bumpy stop.

"ROOOAR!" It was its chance to attack, as the gooey monster reached its hand for the bus.

"EVERYONE, GET OUT!" Crazy Hand ordered. In a nick of time, the Smashers fled out of the bus, just in time when the monster took a hold of it, shaking it like an empty can of peanuts.

"Ugh, I just wanna go home. . ." Ike groaned.

"Then how about we stop this thing, right now," Marth said.

"This thing needs a beat down!" Captain Falcon pounded his fist. "Smashers, assemble!"

Most of the Smashers charged with their attacks at the green monster. Minutes later, the green monster countered with a heavy swing, sending most of them flying to the road.

"SONIC!" Amy cried, running after his fallen body.

"Oh no!" Peach cried.

"Well, that didn't work." Zelda sighed.

Makato folded her hands. "I wish I could do something. . ."

"It's okay, Princess, leave the fighting to them," Miru said.

"I don't want you to be slimed by that ugly thing!" Peach nodded, agreeing.

"Time for me to get cancer. . ." Kirby sighed, walking toward the green monster. "I'ma suck it up and get a bad digestive system."

"Sounds wrong, but go for it, Kirby!" Peach cheered.

Being face to face, Kirby stared at its soulless eyes. Not a blink, just heavy breathing from the green monster. Kirby opened its mouth but paused halfway.

"Nuh, uh. I'd rather get run over." Kirby turned around walking back to Peach, Makato, and Miru.

"We need to take responsibility, my white country boy," Ness spoke to Lucas.

Lucas frowned and nodded. "But, this was all your fault, by the way."

"Us bobblehead bitches gotta stick together. . ." Ness took the first step, and Lucas followed. The monster bent its back at a 90 degree for a better look at the shrimp kids.

"Oh, big green monster!" Ness went on his knees and bowed his head to the road. "What do you really want from us Smashers? Why come so far for us?"

"What kind of question is that? He doesn't want anything! He's just bloodthirsty to kill!" King Dedede yelled.

Its dark mouth opened, as strings of slime stretched. "YOU TOOK. . . YOU TOOK. . . SOMETHING THAT'S MINE."

"Whoa, it spoke. . ." Samus murmured.

"What the. . ." Roy winced, recovering from the crash.

"We stole something?" Lucas asked.

"THE GIRL. . ." It answered, as slimed oozed off from its mouth.

"Marth. . ." Ike placed his hand on the prince's shoulder. "Go, they're calling for you."

Marth popped a vein and smiled. "Hahaha. . . Very funny. . ."

"You. . . you want Marth?" Ness lifted his head a bit, confused.

"NOT THAT BINARY. HER. . . YOU STOLE HER!" The green monster swooped his spaghetti hand toward Makato, sucking her whole body with its arm.

"Princess!" Miru said.

"Makato!" Peach cried out.

"That son of a bitch!" Ike charged once more to the monster, only to get smacked again, crashing back at the road.

"Makato! I'll save you!" This time Roy charged at the monster, only to meet the same fate as Ike.

"It's fast. . ." Marth said. "Slime. . . our attacks were useless. . ."

"We gotta try something that would stop the goo somehow. . ." Miru said.

"I tried arrows. . . but not my bombs." Link said, lighting one up.

"Let's go, Lucas!" Ness said, charging their PK.

Combining the PK Thunder and Link's bombs, they were able to get a direct hit, with the help of the other Smashers distracting it. Thirty minutes later, the goo began to dissolve on its own, revealing the potion princess covered in a bit of slime.

"Princess," Miru ran up to her, kneeling before her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but," Makato pointed her finger at another body that was layered in the green slime. "I saw a body when I was inside the goo. . . I believe it was him."

A few other Smashers gathered near the pile of slime to check on the body.

"The hell?" Ike walked toward the body and yanked him up by his hair. The slime luckily covered his private parts, as he happened to be naked. "This is our guy under the slime, huh?"

"Spare me. . ." He whimpered in a frail voice.

"Shut your bitch ass up, and tell me why you wanted Makato?" Ike furrowed his eyebrows.

"Hey, take it easy. . ." Marth said, trying to calm down the mercenary.

"Gelal. . . is my name." He cracked. "My sister. . . that's her. . ."

"Hold up, sister?" Ike turned to Makato for a confirmation. She answered back with a confused look once more.

"You must be mistaken," Makato frowned.

Gelal got up on his feet and forced his hand away from Ike's grasp. "No. . . I'm sure of it. She has pink hair. . . with buns. My sister went missing last year at the Spring Festival. After a month, I was looking for her. . . then some weird guys took me away and I was a test subject for a shitty monster. But now. . ." Gelal looked at her with watery eyes.

"I finally found you, Sulia! You don't know how much I've missed you! I've been in love with you since!" Gelal then glomped her with a hug regardless of his nudity.

"Ah!" Makato screamed.

"You little pervert!" Ike yanked him away and slammed him on the ground, causing a grunt coughing out of Gelal.

"Whoever Sulia is, I assure you, you got the wrong person," Miru said. "This is Makato, Princess of Potions from Niho."

"That's r-right. . ." Makato said, not making eye contact toward Gelal.

Gelal's eyes widened in shock. "R-really? You're not my Sulia? You. . . you look so much like her. . ."

"It's about time you finally realize," Roy said.

Gelal tightened his eyes shut, balling up his fist. All that work and pain, was it all for nothing? But then he asked, "Then where is my sister?" Hoping she was still alive and well.

"I know where your sister is," Zelda answered. "I think. . ."

"You do?!" Gelal burst with excitement.

"We rescued a lot of girls that were detained in an underground factory. I believe your sister's one of them. All of them are in the Spring Festival Hotel."

"Our bus is completely busted. I wonder who could have done it!" Roy gave a stink eye toward Gelal.

"I'm sorry. . ." Gelal muttered.

"Well, I can carry him to the Spring Festival in a flash," Sonic said.

"Good idea!" Zelda said.

"Well, he needs some clothes first," Roy said.

"Please," Marth said.

(oOoOoOo)

Sonic took Gelal to the destroyed Spring Festival along with Makato, Zelda, Ike, and Roy. The hotel held its ground regardless of the destruction around the festival. Lots of girls in potato sacks hung out in the lobby area and the dining area. The six of them searched together, looking for another version of Makato with pink buns.

After some searching, they were able to find the girl with pink buns in the dining room sitting with a few other girls, eating sandwiches.

"Hey, you," Ike walked up to the table first with direct eye contact toward the pink bun girl. She looked at Ike and lowered her sandwich.

"Is there. . . something that you need?" The pink bun girl frowned, feeling intimidated by his presence.

"Do you have a brother named Gelal?"

"Gelal?" Her eyes widened from the name she never heard in a long time. Gelal came forward to the table, trembling from head to toe.

"Sulia!" He cried out.

"Big Brother! I missed you so much!" Sulia released her sandwiched and jumped into his arms, embracing their reunion. Cries were exchanged, making some of the Smashers tear up a bit.

"I'm so glad. . ." Zelda smiled.

"All's well end's well," Sonic said.

"Well, I hope you learned your lesson not to mistake other people for someone else," Roy said.

"Yea, sorry about the mix-up. . ." Gelal chuckled a bit, glancing over to Makato.

"I'm happy for you two," Makato said.

After a few short seconds of staring, Gelal broke the hug from his sister and grabbed hold of Makato's hands.

"But, can we maybe keep in contact with each other? Even though you're not my sister! This must be love at first sight. . . My heart is. . . dancing with joy." Gelal gleamed.

". . .E-excuse me?"

"Are you for real?" Ike furrowed his eyebrows.

"Sorry, bub! Makato's not interested in booger assholes!" Roy then shoved Gelal away from Makato. Tension grew in the air between the two, with a glare of a staring contest.

Sulia puffed her cheeks and walked up to Makato. "You can't have my big brother! He's mine!"

"That's. . . not my intention." Makato sweatdropped.

"Oh, my." Zelda sighed. "What happened to all's well end's well?"

"Yeah. . . I don't know." Sonic said.
