Chapter 32: Evil Ways

May 12

8:40 P.M.

"Only 20% of her darkness drained out from the 5 Day Knock Out Spell. Day 1 was a success. No memory was lost." Mikoru said looking down at the Halberd. He had a jar in his hand that was a fifth of Makato's dark side. He was in the sky observing. He then smirked. "Now that all of her potions are destroyed I'm sure to succeed. Then I'll take that darkness' hand in marriage and rule Niho." Mikoru looked left and right to make sure nobody was watching. "Maybe I should try an evil laugh. . ." He thought outloud. ". . .Muwa hahahahaha. . .Hahahahaha *hack* *cough*! Yea. . that's not going to work out." He said sighing. "I got to give Samus some credit in this one. Putting my 'Death Wish' potion and fusing it with orange juice. Taking Makato's DNA and putting it in the orange juice was smart. The 'Death Wish' potion is committing murder against someone's DNA you let them drank. Although I wouldn't want Makato dead right in front of my face, otherwise I would have to kill Samus and Ike. . .Oh, happy day. Can't wait for the last event."

"Pikachu?" Pikachu questioned seeing Naruto carrying Makato. He ran up to Pikachu and set her down. Pikachu ran up to Makato and let her hug him. Kirby walked over to Naruto confused.

"Poyo? What happened?" Kirby asked. Naruto looked at Makato who had a terrified expression.

"Ike tried to kill Makato. . ." He explained.

"He what?!" Kirby gasped including Pikachu. Kirby pulled out a hammer. "Nobody kills big talking boobs! Let me kill that modafucka-!" Naruto pulled Kirby's little arm back at him before he could rage off. "No Kirby! It's too dangerous."

"What do you mean dangerous?! I am a bloody Smasher and I fight evil back in my world! And you tell me this is dangerous?" Kirby questioned. "I will take your word. ." Kirby said smiling.

Naruto sweat dropped. "But, I'm not sure why he-. Makato, do you know what happened to Ike or something? He wasn't like this yesterday."

"I-I don't know. He said he wanted to talk to me about something. But then he-." Makato was all shaky from that frightening incident. Naruto saw her body all shaken up so he told her not to say anymore more. But she continued on one part. "I don't sense anything evil around him. . ."

"So was he really trying to kill you?" Kirby asked. Makato sighed. "I think. . .so."

"I think he was playing a prank on you Makato. No worries. For now, I think we should just keep this case quiet. Unless he does attempt to get you again. . .then we can tell everyone and see if anyone knows what happened to Ike."

Kirby gave him a weird look. "You sure talking all smart now. . ."

"Hey!"

"Hey, it's Ike!" Pikachu waved. He was coming closer with a dark glare of his face staring right at Makato. Kirby facepalmed. "Idiot! You don't want him to come near or he might-!"

"GREAT AETHER!" Ike yelled with a flaming swing of his sword heading straight towards Makato. Naruto use Rasengan and their attacks both became neutral. "He's not joking at all!" Naruto exclaimed. "We need some rope!"

Stadium

The current score for Team Mario was 250 points. The current score for Team Sonic was 290. Team Sonic gained 100 points from the rap battle. Sonic was praised from his rap in his team. Mario had some thinking to do. Only in two days, 4 events were completed and the last one will be tomorrow. Some people wished that SSBB put more exciting events. Master Hand and Crazy Hand both ran out of ideas and didn't want to continue this charade.

"So, Sega isn't changing after all!" Knuckles cheered. Sonic crossed him arms. "You're just lucky. VERY VERY LUCKY. . ."

"Like OMG Sonic! How were you able to rap like that?!" Tails asked. Sonic shrugged. "Beats me. I guess it would have to be the last word of every rap. Making it rhyme I supposed. But I couldn't think of anything that rhyme with Sega. . . ."

Tails didn't say anything for a while but the words, '. . . .Ohh! Cool!' Came up.

"You didn't have to say anything Tails. . ."

A performance was getting set up for this very last night and people were waiting who was going to sing.

"Wow, these events go by so fast." Miru said drinking a soda. "Four events all cramp up in 2 days, and the last one is tomorrow. . ."

"Now that you think about it, yea. . the last one is tomorrow! Isn't that the questions and answers?" Link commented.

"Yea it is. The last one sounds completely lameeee." Pit commented. "Man, we should add another 5 or 10 more days or something. It's better than fighting at the Smash Mansion." Roy nodded in agreement and they both high fived each other.

"You do know that like 20 chapters of this fanfic were mostly about the Sonic and Mario War and the Spring Festival right?" Zelda said keeping track.

"Eh? Really?" Roy thought. "No kidding. . .there should be some fillers. . ."

"Should we tell Master Hand?" Meta Knight asked. "And add more events to the Sonic and Mario War?"

"Yea, I think we should." Samus said walking back into her seat.

"Oh, Samus, when did you come back?" Fox asked. She dusted herself and sat on her seat. "Not a while ago." She answered.

"Well anyway, we should continue the Mario and Sonic War for another 5 more days. First reason because of the people, second because of Mikoru, and third because of tommorow." Zelda explained holding three fingers. The Smashers nodded around her.

"Yea, I understand about that part Zelda." Marth said. "But what's happening tomorrow?"

Zelda turned to the Prince. "You didn't hear?" Marth shook his head. "I was probably at the Halberd. . ."

"They are putting up a lottery in the stadium. Only two people can win it besides us, Smashers. The first winner would win 100,000 dollars and a date with a Smasher. The second winner would win a date with a Smasher. And it's tomorrow."

"Yea, it wouldn't make sense to end the Mario and Sonic War tomorrow because of the lottery but why a lottery? And like two people out of who-knows-how-much-are-in-this-place are going to win. At least Master Hand should put more prizes for the losers." Marth said.

"I hope I get a hot date." Roy grinned. "I think Makato did the lottery."

"I doubt she did. But I don't think she can, even if she wanted to." Miru said popping a vein.

"Man, I don't want to date some stranger." Marth shivered.

"Well according to the popularity rank in SSBB. . ." Miru said checking his free SSBB Guide for Newbs. "You are ranked first, even when nobody knows Fire Emblem. If I won the lottery I would probably go for Peach or Zelda or Samus."

"Hey, I'm right here you know." Zelda said kinda blushing. Samus smacked Miru on the face. He laughed joking. Marth fell to his knees sobbing.

"No. I can't believe it. It's all over. The world is crashing down on me."

"Well. . ." Ness patted his back. "Good luck on your future date. Never know, you could be lucky."

"But I don't want to be lucky! What if is a crazy fan or some yandere chick?" Roy, Pit, Ness, Lucas, and other Smashers laughed.

"Ok guys." Zelda started ignoring Marth. After this performance, we will go to the Halberd and talk about adding more events to the Mario and Sonic War. Time went by so fast."

"Agreed." Captain Falchion said. Meta and Galacta Knight nodded. Roy faced Galacta Knight. "Dude, you're not even a Smasher. . .why are you here?"

"Shut up, and let's keep this peaceful. Or else, someone's gonna lose a limb." He growled. Roy gulped and turned away. "OHHH KAY. . .Yea we should really add more events. But what kind of events though?"

"Roy you idiot, like I said! We will talk about it at the Halberd, maybe tomorrow morning would sound good. Cause, if you ask me, I'm kinda tired."

"True." Lucario nodded. "We do need our sleep."

"Yes! Sleep!" Ice Climbers cheered.

"Good idea, I do need my beauty sleep." Marth said flipping his hair. Miru sweat dropped. "Wow, fast recovery. . ."

"Man, usually Ike would scold me for talking like this. He's taking too long eating the leftover food from the get well party." Marth pouted.

"We all know Ike for his leftovers. . .don't we?" Roy smiled. Music started to play at the background and lights were shining in the middle the performance was about to start. People were cheering and screaming excitedly. "I think Ike is probably sleeping on the ground or something."

Halberd

"More like tied up!" Naruto said laughing at the next transition. His laughing started to fade away when Kirby and Pikachu gave him the 'that's a shitty joke' look. Ike was indeed tied up with hard heavy duty rope and duct tape. That included his waist, hands, feet, and mouth. He was struggling break free.

"Now what?" Makato asked. Naruto started to think with a goofy face. "I say'd we throw him down a river!"

Kirby added. "I totally agree with you Naruto. That way, my problems would be over." "No! We can't do that." Makato exclaimed.

"What's wrong with you Ike? This isn't a joke anymore." Makato said walking a little closer to Ike. He was still given her the death glare, thirsty to kill her. Suddenly, Makato felt a sharp pain to her brain. "Was this. . . .pain . .coming from his glare? Why can't I sense if he. . .had taken a potion. . .or not? It must, have to be. The Five Day spell. . ." She then collapsed, making a 'thud' sound. Naruto turned to her direction and saw her on the ground.

"Makato!" He tried shaking her but she doesn't respond. "She's not dead. Is she?" Kirby rolled his eyes.

"I bet she fainted. That's the sound of fainting!" The sound of ripping was coming from the rope and duct tape. Naruto, Pikachu, and Kirby were surprised.

"That's impossible! Nobody can break free from thy duct tape!" Kirby exclaimed running in circles. "We're all going to die!"

"Gah! Pikachu! Take her and put her in a safe place! Don't ask how I know that you're still Pikachu even when you're still human." Troll alert. Pikachu was changed back to his regular mouse self, seconds later.

"Uh. . ."

"Nevermind! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He said. three clones appeared and hold Ike down from escaping. Kirby and Pikachu started to carry Makato to a safe place if they can find in the Halberd.

"Now, I need to look for some more tape." Naruto panicked. He found something called ramen rope on the food platter and grabbed it. Once he opened it, the smell of ramen filled in Naruto's nose as he drool. This rope was for dog's chew toy. He was able to tied Ike more again. But still didn't hold on. Naruto grinned. "Makato didn't say we could knock him out, didn't she?"

The clones nodded excitedly and gave Ike a big punch. He was finally knocked out. . .

"Sorry Ike but you need to get some rest." Naruto sighed. Seconds later, Ike started to move a little bit which made Naruto scared.

"Holy shit! Did he take resistance pills or steroids or something?!"

"Must, kill Makato. . ." Ike said looking for her.

"Not on your life!" Naruto bit his finger till blood came and smacked it to the ground. "Summoning jutsu!" He summoned a giant orange toad that seem mutated. "Nah, I can't you use you. You might crushed Ike's lungs. . ."

"Wow, won't I?" Gamakichi growled. He then poof away. Naruto summoned more clones and they hold Ike down in the mean time. Kirby and Pikachu came back running.

"Ok! She's still alive and we put her in a safe room!" Kirby said. Naruto nodded. "Good, now these clones should keep Ike from moving. Man I hope the Smashers hurry up!" Kirby swallowed some rope and turned to Rope Kirby. He then used his body and tied himself around Ike. He wasn't able to move a muscle.

"Success!" Pikachu and Naruto cheered.

(*_*)

The performance ended at 9:00 P.M. and everybody went home for the night. Later the Smashers and the guest arrived at the Halberd. Most people just went straight to bed, others saw some shocking news. Naruto was tired, laying on the ground, so was Pikachu. Kirby was bored, still Rope Kirby.

"Why are you still here Naruto? The performance ended and you were supposed to show up." Rosalina said.

"The performance took longer than expected but would you mind explaining what's going on here?" Marth questioned. Looking at Naruto and Rope Kirby tied around Ike.

"Yea, and why is that Ike tied up?" Roy asked looking Ike. Ike still had a slight angry face. "Whoa, did I do something wrong to upset him?" People started to ask questions and comments. There was confusion in the Halberd.

"No. . that's not it." Naruto said with a serious. He got up and pointed at Ike. "This Ike you guys know of tried his very best to kill Makato!"

Nobody said anything for like 5 minutes. Muted. Everyone was either shocked, surprised, terrified, or still confused. Laughed rose from the Halberd.

"Ha ha ha very funny Naruto." Marth said slapping his back. "We all know Ike wouldn't do such a thing."

"Hey! Hey! But it's-!"

"Look at Ike's face." Roy pointed again. Ike wasn't angry anymore, instead his expression was confused. "Why would I kill Makato?" He asked. Naruto looked at him still angry.

"Come on Kirby, you should let me go." Ike commanded. Kirby looked at Naruto and Naruto rapidly shook his head.

"Don't! Not yet! He's faking it! I still don't trust him."

"Then why don't we ask Makato then?" Zelda said.

"She fainted. . ."

"I think you mean she's sleeping. . ." Zelda giggled.

"Yea come on, just let the guy go." Pit said. Some of the Smashers were telling Kirby to let go of him so they can see it themselves. Miru didn't say anything for a while.

Kirby was then forced out of Ike. Ike didn't say anything but a smiled of an 'thank you'.

"Now I can get some rest." Ike said stretching. Pikachu whispered to Ike.

"Do you think he doesn't remember or is he fine?" Naruto shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I was in some illusion like Genjutsu. Just to be sure, I'll watch him for another 10 minutes. Where's Makato?"

"The same room. Only the bed isn't harmed." Pikachu said.

Miru walked up to Naruto, Pikachu, and Kirby. "Did he really tried to kill Makato?" He asked to make sure. Naruto nodded. "I saw it with my very eyes. He was choking her to death. And he gave her deathly glares which made her faint."

"I believe you."

"Really?"

"Yea, I'm such a bad friend, but I can't help it to explore new things. I think it's the work of Mikoru. . ."

"Mikoru. . ." Naruto questioned. He nodded. "What I know from experience is that Ike never acts like that. Only something evil would do like Mikoru." Miru started to explain to Naruto about Mikoru and the 5 Day Knock Out Spell. Naruto was able to understand it.

"Gah, I'm tired. I'm going to bed." Miru said yawning. He said waving away.

"Kay kay." Naruto grinned. Pikachu yawn. "I'm sleeping too. Good night. Pikachu ran inside the kids' dorm room for the Halberd, so did Kirby.

The Broken Room

"Whoa, this place is a mess." Elise said looking around. "Yes it is." Peach said.

"From what Naruto said, I think we should stay here and keep watch till morning."

"I would like to do that but I'm in the Mario and Sonic war. And we all have to get our sleep. Please watch her for and me. That would mean a lot.." Peach waved off leaving, closing the door. Elise nodded.

"Of course, she's my friend. . ." Elise put her hand on Makato's forehead. "Please get better. . ."

Minutes later, the mercenary opened the door where Makato and Elise were in.

"Ike. . ."

"Is Makato doing ok?" Ike said walking in towards them. Elise nodded. "She's fine. I think you should get some sleep."

"Yea, so do you Elise." Ike said. He stared at Makato. "Can you do me a favor I want to be alone with Makato for a while." Elise didn't know if should leave Ike alone with Makato. "Umm, I don't know."

"It will be 10 seconds, I promise." Ike pleaded. Elise sighed. "Ok, 10 seconds but that's it. But I'm going to leave the door-." Elise was cut off from Ike when he pushed her out and closed the door, locking it. Elise started banging on Makato's door.

"Hey! Open the door Ike! Ike! Someone help!"

"Now then. . ." Ike smirked. Makato was still at faint. Ike had a great opportunity to kill her. He then again put his hands around Makato's neck. He gripped her neck even harder as Makato stayed still.

Marth, Miru, Link, and Roy busted the door open and saw with their very own eyes.

"He's going to kill her!" Link exclaimed.

"We gotta do something! Oh the humanity!" Roy panicked.

"I'll stop him!" Marth ran to Ike and gave him a powerful blow on the face. He realised Makato, falling to the ground. Roy and Link gave each other terrified looks.

"You see what he did there?" Miru said.

"He can't be trusted no more." Roy said.

"I understand now. Ike was really tried to kill her." Marth said. "We need to take him out of here." Link and Roy nodded at each other and dragged Ike out. Marth sighed and stroke Makato's hair. "Just why would you want to kill her Ike?" Miru sighed. "While he is in that state. He needs to be tied up."

"Yes. Till Ike goes back to his normal self. If he doesn't, I'll kill him."

"Isn't that going way too far?"

"Not at all, this is Smash Bros." An explosion effect appeared behind Marth as he wore black sleek shades.

"You really wanted to say that didn't you Marth?" Miru laughed. Marth stopped and took off the shades. "Yes, I did. . .we should get going. It's going to be day 2 for Makato."

"I guess we have to leave it to the girls then." Miru sighed. "Shame. . ."

"All's well ends well." Mikoru laughed from a far. He then disappeared into thin air.

Next Day

6:30 A.M.

Master Hand heard from Zelda yesterday to talk about putting more events in the Mario and Sonic War.

"ALL SMASHERS THAT AREN'T COMPETING MUST COME IN FOR A MEETING! THAT DOESN'T INCLUDING THE LITTLE CREATURES AND KIDS, EARTHBOUND AND PIKMIN SIZE AND YOUNGER!" Master Hand announced in the Halberd. The Smashers started to complain that it's too early in the morning. Crazy Hand threaten them and they changed their minds.

"But, I'm sooo tired~!" Pit complained rolling off from his bed. "Wait, I am a kid! YEPPIE!"

Master Hand mentioned something too. "Immortals don't count Pit!"

"Aww. . ."

"The nice great strength of the morning sunrise YES!" Captain Falcon said doing jumping jacks. Marth took off his blue sleep blindfold mask and yawn. "Uhh, Captain Falcon, don't start sweating in the morning." He complained. "So, how's Ike?"

Everyone glanced at the closet where they put Ike in. Marth opened it and everyone stared at the snoring Ike. He was wrapped with duct tape and doodled on when the boy Smashers were getting bored.

"Look, I think he's waking up from his slumber." Roy said.

"Let him have eternal slumber." Ganondorf laughed. Link glared at Ganondorf. "Very funny Ganondork."

"What the? Where am I? What happened?" Ike said all confused. He felt something sticky and strong wrapped around him. "Why am I wrapped in duct tape?!"

"It's for your own good Ike. You can't trick us." Marth said. "It's best if you stay here. We have a meeting to attend."

"Wait Marth! What's going on? What have I done wrong?!" Ike wanted answers fast but nobody said anything. Everyone left the room but Marth, Roy, Pit, Link, and Miru.

"You mean you don't remember?!" Miru asked angrily. He punched Ike straight in the face, defenseless.

"You tell me that you don't remember everything what just happened yesterday?! What you did to Makato?!" Miru shouted. Marth and Roy tried to calm Miru down.

"Easy there. This could be the work of Mikoru like you said remember?" Roy mentioned. Miru sighed. "Yea. . .I forgot."

"I don't know if I actually deserved that punch or not. What about Makato? Where is she? Is she ok?" Ike asked.

". . .She's fine. . ." Link said still unsure. "Do you remember anything what just happened yesterday?"

"I. . . .I. . .can't remember anything. . .about yesterday. Just what did I do that is so. . ." Ike trailed off.

Roy, Link, and Marth whispered among themselves. "Well, we have a meeting to attend so, Miru can tell you everything? Right Miru?" Marth smiled.

"Wait, what?" The three men left and closed the door. "Honestly. . ."

"Miru, please tell me what happen yesterday." Ike implored. Miru got a chair and sat right in front of Ike. "Can I really trust you? After what you did. . .it still pains me. I couldn't do anything."

"You can trust me Miru! Just please!"

". . .Fine. . .I tell you what happened."

"Thanks. . ."

". . .Sorry I punched you. . ." Miru apologized. Ike shook his head. "It's ok. Can I at least get this duct tape off of me."

"If I let you loose you'd probably be running straight to Makato."

"Hmph."

"Ok. This won't take long before the Smashers come back. Yesterday, we all witness you, Ike, putting your big brawny hands around Makato's neck. You were going to kill her! We have to stopped you before you taken away her life. I didn't believe it for a second, but the way you look, I can tell you wanted to kill someone. It's the truth Ike."

Ike became speechless. He couldn't believe what he have heard in his ears. Him trying to kill Makato? It felt like the world was ending upon the mercenary. He wouldn't do anything that cruel, that terrifying on the princess.

"No, you're lying Miru." Ike responded softly denying it. Miru grabbed onto his collar, while glaring at his blue eyes. "It's the truth Ike whether you like it or not! Every single one of us saw you did it! You can't go back to the past and change it! You just have to accept it!"

"But how could I do such a thing?! Why would I hurt Makato?! That can't been me!" Ike exclaimed. Miru patted his shoulder. "The truth hurts, doesn't it? We all know you wouldn't do something like that. None of us guys would be seeing her today."

"What do you mean?" Ike asked. Miru got one of Naruto's kunai and started to cut off the duct tape. "It's day 2 of the Five Day Knock Out Spell remember? Makato get's sexualy arroused to any man who she is most friendly with."

Ike's face flushed just remembering. "I see. . .Why can't she use her potions?"

"About that, all of her potions are completed destroyed. The bottles are completely shattered by your sword Ike, at least what I can tell. In fact her whole room is completely messed up." Miru said pointing to his sword that was left dirty with glass shards and colored liquids. Ike was shocked. "So I destroyed her only one way for cure didn't I? I'm so stupid. She probably hates me. I don't even know how I got so messed up in the first place!" Ike said cursing himself.

"You're not to blame Ike. I think it's Mikoru who got you up in this mess."

"So he did it? Just wait till I get my hands on him!" Ike crunched his fist.

"Don't we all want to do that Ike?" Miru laughed.

"I need to apologize to Makato!" Ike got up and started running to the door.

"Wait Ike! You're suppose to be in the meeting! You'll get caught! And it's day 2! Like she would be sexualy aroused around you! Pervert!" Miru shouted.

Ike responded to Miru in order of what he warned Ike. "Fuck the meeting! I won't get caught! I going for the day 2! Fuck you Miru! I moves like jaeger!" Ike shouted back, sneaking out of the door, making sure nobody sees him leave. Miru smiled. "I don't care what that little dick head says but, it's good to have Ike back. Just seeing that makes me moved in tears. I'm going back to bed." Miru then flopped to his bed and continue sleeping.

Ike carefully entered the room that was completely demolished with broken glass, leaking liquids, and dented walls. Only the bed left unharmed where Makato slept. Ike couldn't forgive himself. He also wonder if Makato would ever forgive him.
