Chapter 43: Date and End

Mikoru's Hideout to Train the New Dark Knights

Their training camp was harsh and fierce. . .

Mikoru's POV

We practiced our magic and our physical strength. Everyone was given a partner and we would attack back and forth, practicing our strength, defense, agility, intelligence, evasion, luck, and skill. We made a song for our routine as well. Every soldier must sing it:

"Our names won't be remembered if we die like trampled flowers; I refuse to be forgotten written off as less than worthless; scream and cry but none will hear you plead and beg but none will help you; you know longer live as cattle will you rise and join the battle?. . ." The song was pretty catchy.

Talking with the soldiers was pretty interesting. . . I would give them the same answer.

"Lord Mikoru, we should have matching outfits! You know? Matching uniforms. To show that we are the Dark Knights."

"Excellent idea. Why not you be the stylist then. . .?" I would say.

Another soldier would then ask, "Can I visit my family?"

"You should have brought your whole family." I would say.

"We should have our name be Fairy Tail."

"Fairies don't have tails."

"You don't know that mailord."

"What was that?"

"Nothing sir!"

War was very certain.

Normal POV

Outside of Halberd

12:50 P.M.

Peach and Makato were outside of the giant ship. The sun was shining out. The sky was blue. Seemed like a bright and cheerful day. Peach kept on squealing and jumping for Makato and her date with Ike.

"Make sure you tell me everything! Ok? No pressure alright?! Make sure you read that book. Also make sure he doesn't see you with that book. So put it in your bag alright? You look just sooo cute! I could just eat you!"

"I-I-Ike's just t-t-treating me. . ." Makato stuttered.

"Sure sure." Peach laughed. "The last event for the Mario and Sonic War is going to be live broadcast at 3:00. Just in case you don't make it back to the stadium, you can watch us on the TV."

"Don't worry, we'll be at the stadium just in time."

Peach giggled and shrugged after that.

"I wouldn't be so sure on that. Anyways, good luck! Oh here! Here's a gift from me." Peach winked and slipped something small in the palm of her hand, skipping away to the Halberd.

Makato opened up her palm to the strange object. "What's this?" Makato stared at the object closely and read slowly to herself, seeing the big words first. "Trojan. . . . Non-Lubricated. . . Brand Latex. . .C-Con-" Makato blushed madly and stuffed the object in her bag after knowing the last word was. "Peach. . .you-! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

1:30 P.M.

Halberd in the Boy's Room

"Ike has just eaten his last official medicine gummies. He came out of the bathroom with his gummies. The rest will be fruit snacks for the next 30 minutes. OVER." Roy whispered in his walkie talkie.

Marth grabbed his walkie talky and threw it against a wall as it shattered into a million pieces. "Roy, Ike just left the room seconds ago. So stop doing that." Marth ordered.

Roy sticked his tongue out. "I don't care! You just broke my walkie talkie!"

"Where did you even get that thing anyway?"

"From a pawn shop, where else?"

Marth stood silent for a second, staring at his blue eyes.

"Since where there was a pawn shop near a giant ship near the stadium?"

Roy laughed nervously and stared at the ground.

"Hey! My eyes are right here-!"

"I got his ticket!" Pit cheered waving it. The ticket that takes you to the Delfino Plaza Restaurant now stolen from the angel. Which was a coupon.

"Good job Pit. Now we can stalk them." Marth grinned. Pit handed the ticket over to Marth. The prince grabbed it and observed it carefully.

A Quick Review of the Delfino Plaza Ticket:

"According to Master Hand. . . " Robin started, wearing his dark unusual clothing. "The coupons have a little red button that says 'pick-up' and they will pick you up from 12:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. to Delfino Plaza."

"This ticket is only one use. Only 1 person can use this." Marth said.

"Oh, really?" Pit said.

"Whoas! How did Ike get to the Delfino Plaza without his ticket?" Roy thought out loud.

The door was suddenly slammed open, revealing an angry mercenary. "Cause I didn't!" He answered Roy's question with a grumpy look on his face. "Now give me back my ticket! I was looking for that. . ." Ike cracked his knuckles. Marth handed the ticket to Roy, who quickly passed it to Link, who quickly passed it to Pit, who quickly passed it to Miru, who quickly passed it to Ike.

"MIRU!" The guys screamed at him.

"Hey! I don't wanna die today! Ok?!"

"He does have a point. . ." Link murmured.

Ike put the Delfino Plaza coupon in his pocket. "I told you guys not to interfere. What part of I'll hang your heads for my wall did you not get? Honestly. . ." The guys all realized that Ike was wearing different clothing. A buttoned up light gray-blue shirt with a dark blue unbuttoned vest. Dark indigo jeans along with dressed black shoes.

"Lookin' smexy Ike." Roy grinned. "Hold on, lemme take a picture."

"No." Ike left the room after that. The room gotten quiet all of a suddenly. Roy cleared his throat and sweat dropped. "LOL, now what?"

"How are we going to get to the Delfino Plaza?" Link asked.

Marth glanced at Pit. "Well, if we are going to go the Delfino Plaza. . . I was thinking Pit could fly us there."

"And break my back?!" Pit cried out. "Nooo way! I'm not carrying anyone! What am I? Some kind of carrier?!"

Marth sighed and went back to his thoughts again. Another idea popped into Marth's mind. "That's it! Kirby can-!"

"Got him!" Link held up the pink puffball to the prince.

"Whoa! That was quick." Miru said.

"I know." Roy nodded his head.

"Poyo."

Link let go of Kirby and made him stand on the ground. Marth made a jolly smile to the Kirby bending over to him. "Now be a good Kirby and turn into 'Wing Kirby' and take us to the Delfino Plaza."

"No." Kirby bluntly said.

Marth made a sarcastic laugh after his rejection. "I'm sorry! What was that?!"

Kirby made one of his annoying 'HIII!' taunts turned to, 'NOOO!' Right at Marth's face. Seconds later, Marth started to beat Kirby senselessly with a baseball bat till three bumps were stacked on top of Kirby's head.

"Okay okay. . ." Kirby groaned, giving up.

"Good good, you little swine. Now swallow a bird outside somewhere and let's get going!"

Outside of the Halberd

Ike saw Makato from the distance, wearing a pink short, casual dress with a white bow tie and a white bow, wrapping around her waist. White short gloves, short pink socks, short tan boots, and an unusual long brown bag she carried. Her hairstyle was slightly different. The two buns are still there, but the back of her hair were now into two long pigtails (not braided), slightly behind her buns.

Ike was lost by the sight of her clothing, but suddenly got back his senses again. He walked up to her and made a small wave. Makato saw him and waved as well, showing a happy expression.

"Hey. Sorry I was late. Some people. . . like to steal." Ike trailed off, remembering why he was so angry in the first place.

#32 Act like you're angry that he made you wait. Makato smiled. "No worries."

Ike glanced down at her foot that was tapping the ground simultaneously.

"Your foot. . ."

"Hehe! Whatever do you mean?"

"Nevermind. Let's get going." Ike pulled his ticket out and pressed the red button. While they waited, they stood next to each other, watching the small white clouds and the bright hot sun. And a Kirby, running out of the Halberd into the forest. . .

Ike broke the silence. "That dress looks very cute on you Makato." Ike complimented staring at trees.

"Thank you . . . Ike." Makato said. "I like your outfit as well."

"Thanks. . . Huh? What happened to Ikey-Poo like you used to call me?"

Makato panicked right after Ike mentioned that. "That was-! A joke! No no!"

"Well that's a shame." Ike smirked.

#45 Always expect a gift. Makato stood quiet for a second and stared at the ground. "So, where's my gift?" She asked.

Ike gave a 'WTF' face. "Y-your what now?"

"You know, my gift? You're suppose to give me one. Like. . . flowers, chocolate, a big fluffy bear. . .I sound so selfish! I shouldn't-!" Makato kept on going with the list of presents till Ike interrupted her.

"You never asked though. . ." Ike scratched his head.

". . ." Awkward silence came between the both of them. Later, the car to the Delfino Plaza arrived near the Halberd. The man honked his horn real loudly. "ALL A-BOARD BITCHES!"

(A_A)

Flashback

"Makato, let me make everything up to you." Ike said with a serious tone. Makato glanced up at him. "You don't have to-"

"But I want to. It still hurts me. Every time I ignored you, it killed me." Ike then realized what he had with him. He let go of Makato making a hunt for something under his clothing. "I almost forgot-" Ike pulled out two tickets to the Delfino Plaza. Lucina gave it to him because she didn't want to go there. She wanted to go to the Delfino Plaza once she became a Smasher. Ike handed one of the tickets to Makato.

"Delfino Plaza tickets to the Delfino Restaurant. . ." Makato read the ticket

.

"I'll buy you whatever you want at the Delfino Plaza after going to the restaurant. How about it?"

Makato smiled. "Ok."

End of Flashback

Normal POV

Those memories still flow through Makato's head, still remembering what he had said to her.

"You really did mean it. . ." Makato mumbled to herself.

"What was that?" Ike glanced at her, sitting right next to her in the back seat.

"Oh, it's nothing. I won't mess things up." Makato turned away from Ike and continued to read her book that Peach gave her. "Ok . . . let's see."

"What are you reading? You've been reading that book for like 10 minutes."

Makato slammed the book shut in a quick manner. "Hehe! It's nothing! Just a very good light novel I can't get my eyes off of. Excuse me." She quickly put the book away back into her bag.

Later, they have both arrived at the Delfino Plaza, a beautiful place located in Smashville. Many people wandered along the streets with their families, friends, lovers, and pets. Makato and Ike both started to walk toward the Delfino Restaurant which was located a few 3 blocks away from them. A puff ball with wings, a prince disguised as a blonde woman, a redhead disguised as a black haired woman, an angel disguised as a little boy with wings as 'cosplay', a blue haired boy, and an elf were all being carried by the puff ball with wings.

"Look! There they are!" Marth pointed. The guys followed Marth's finger and they saw the couple walking.

"Oh! I see them!" Pit said.

Kirby dropped them by shaking them off his grasp as the 5 guys all fell down on the hard concrete.

"Good bye! I hope you all get lost at sea!" Kirby chirped, flying away. The group of boys got up from the ground to their own feet.

"Well it can't be helped." Link shrugged.

"We did kinda forced Kirby into this," Marth said, laughing a little bit.

"I do not want to wear this stupid black long hair and this black dress." Roy growled.

"Hey, stop complaining. It will be only be for a while." Marth said. "Now, let's go!"

Makato and Ike continued to walk to on the sidewalk, heading toward the cross walk up ahead. Makato noticed a giant muddy puddle blocking their paths. People, would just go around the big puddle or run across it, hoping not to get wet.

#85 Expect him to put his jacket on a puddle so you can walk on it

Makato stopped her footsteps once they have reached the puddle. Ike stopped as well and turned around to Makato.

"What's the matter?" Ike saw a frown on her face.

"There's a puddle, Ike." She said.

"Yea?"

Makato eyed his dark blue vest that was left unbuttoned. "Your vest."

Ike stared at his vest and glanced back at Makato. "You're kidding me, right? You want me to use my vest, get it all soaked up in that muddy water, so you can walk across it?"

Makato twirled one of her pigtails and made a slow nod toward him.

"There is no way-"

A blonde hair girl sprinted toward Ike and elbowed him to the back, making him fall on his face, on the muddy puddle. A girl with black hair approached them as well. Seemed that the two girls were friends.

"Ike! Are you okay?" Makato asked, worried. Makato faced the girl and noticed that she was making a wicked antagonist laugh.

"AH HA HAH HA HAH! I can't believe you're cheating on me Ike!" The blonde haired girl yelled.

"I can't believe you're cheating on my friend, Ike!" The black haired girl said.

"Um, who are you?" Makato asked the blonde haired girl.

"I'm his fiance!" She answered proudly. She then pointed her finger at Makato. "So you better watch out!"

Marth and Roy were hiding behind a near building. "Wait, who are those people?" Marth questioned.

"Our disguises look just like them!" Roy said.

"Strange." Link said.

Pit sighed and fan his baseball cap. "Ness' shirt is making me itchy." Pit whined.

"I'm gonna take some pictures." Miru said pointing his camera at the scene.

The blonde girl walked on Ike's body. "He's my darling, see? He's letting me walk on him to avoid that filthy puddle."

"Ow."

"He was not doing that for you!" Makato said. She then slowly tried not to crush his lungs, while walking on Ike's back. By accident, she stepped on Ike's head and quickly made a small jump.

"See?"

Ike groaned. "Did you really-?" Ike got up and shook his head. Mud was all over Ike's clothes and some of it was on his face.

The blonde hair girl gleamed. "Ike darling, remember me? Your fiance?!"

Ike sweat dropped. "Uh. . ."

"Ike do you know her?" Makato asked. Ike crossed him arms, thinking back if he had seen that face before. Ike then glanced up and made a visible smirk.

"Oh, I know you-"

"I knew it darling!"

"I ditched you in the Smash Mall, during our date." Ike answered.

The blonde girl made a nervous laugh. "But that was a joke sweetie! Right? Right?!"

"I don't joke sweetie. I didn't even return for the whole day. Ah, good times." Ike nodded his head.

Tears popped out from her eyes like popcorn. Blonde Girl started crying in front of Ike. Her knees dropped to the ground and she covered her face with her hands.

"It made me so sad! How could you do that to your fan?!"

"So you're my fan now?" Ike said.

"I'm going to tell Master Hand that you don't treat your fans right!"

Ike sighed and swiped some mud off his shirt. "Ok, I'm sorry I ditched you. Happy?"

"I want something in return. Equivalent exchange." The blonde girl said.

"Like what?"

A small grin appeared in front of her face. "A kiss."

The black haired girl nodded her head in agreement. "Yea, a kiss! It only makes sense!"

"How about a friendly punch?" Ike smiled, holding up his fist.

"No! Just one kiss and I'll be on my way. If not, I'll tell Master Hand and it will go on your permanent record!"

"It's not like he would care either way. Also your threats don't scare me." Ike muttered.

The blonde girl turned to Makato. "Yes, let us make our love together in front to that, whore!" She blurted.

Makato showed a sign of frustration and anger together. Her eyes trembled. "W-Whore?!"

"You heard me! You are a whore! A slut! A bug!"

The blonde continued to insult her till a strong blow struck her cheek bone from the mercenary. Makato and the blacked haired girl were surprised from what he had done. The blonde girl twitched from the pain and put her hand over the throbbing, painful cheek. Almost in a verge of tears. "I, I can't believe you! . . .Ike! I'm a girl!"

Ike kneeled on one knee to be at the same height as the girl. He grabbed her shirt and yanked it toward himself, showing her his evil glare. "I don't care if you are a girl or a boy or an animal or a Kirby even! Remember this, I won't forgive anyone who says shit about Makato right in front of my face." The blonde girl kept silent from his words. Her tears were like a waterfall to her eyes. Ike let go of her shirt and got back up.

Marth, Roy, and Pit cheered in the background. "Yea! Woo!" Pit cheered.

"You said it!" Marth cheered.

"You show her who's boss!" Roy cheered. Their cheers kept on coming and coming.

"You can't just hit a girl like that!" The black haired girl kneeled next to her friend. "I'm going to call the cops!"

"I'll do the same to you before you can even attempt to call the cops." Ike walked away from the girls and called to Makato. "Let's go."

"R-right." Makato followed Ike right behind, leaving the two girls.

Roy sighed. "Well we should take these off. Talk about a waste of time." Roy was about to pull out the wig but Link stopped him. "Hold it Roy. If you take out that wig, people will think you're a crossdresser. And also, people will recognize you."

"Ugh. Damn it."

Marth stared up at the clouds. "Hmm, speaking of time, it's been like almost an hour now. I wonder how Ike is not cringing from the pain of Lucina's cooking. Strange."

"He's probably, faking it." Miru said, looking at the pictures he took during the strange incident.

"Well he is Ike after all." Pit said. "The pain would not get sympathy from him."

"Ike would not get sympathy from the pain." Marth said.

"Sympathy would not come from the pain of the Ike." Roy grinned.

"That does not make any sense, but whatever." Link said.

A tall woman with a long light blue robe observed as well. She smirked from her victory. "I have found you, Makato."

Ike and Makato didn't even said a single word to each other till they have reached the Delfino Plaza restaurant. After they have gotten their seats and their orders, Makato was the first to speak.

"Um, thank you Ike. I didn't think you would hit strangers of the opposite sex." Makato didn't know what to say after that.

"I just did what was right." Ike then spoke. "And don't get me wrong, I'm still mad at you. For stepping on me." Ike got up from his seat. "BRB." And he walked away, heading for the men's restroom that wasn't visible for Makato to see.

Makato frowned and sighed, laying her head on the table. "Oh no. What have I done?" Makato brought out her big brown book and opened a bookmarked page. "Ike might ditch me for reals this time! Let's see what else the book has to offer me." Makato continued to read the pages of the book. Marth, Roy, Link, Pit, and Miru sat at a table far away from them. The Delfino Plaza restaurant was very crowded at the time. The disguises were still on Marth, Roy, and Pit.

"Mmmhm! Some good peanut sauce!" Pit smiled, licking some from his plate.

"Hey, guys, I have a joke. Wanna hear?" Roy said.

Marth shrugged. "Sure, make me laugh."

"Ok, ok." Roy leaned in closer to the center of the table. "What do you call an opened pistachio?"

Everyone gave their 'I don't knows' and Roy gave out the answer.

"DEEZ NUTS! HAAH!" Roy bursted out laughing.

Marth rolled his eyes and shook his head. "So immature."

"Hehehe, that was pretty funny! My turn!" Pit cheered. "What do you call a watermelon with seeds in them?"

"A watermelon?" Link answered, not knowing.

"DEEZ NUTS! HAAH!"

"Are you kidding me?" Miru said.

"That wasn't even funny!" Marth said.

"Here's your garden salad delights." A waiter said to Makato, placing the food right in front of her. Makato stopped reading her book and look up at the man with a smile. "Ah, thank you."

"Hey, you seem alone." The waiter said, noticing.

Makato shook her head. "No. He's just not here."

"Well, if he ditches a cute girl like you, call me." He winked walking away. Makato sighed and got even more depressed.

Once the waiter left, Makato continued to read her book. "Which one should I use? #09 Whine when he comes back late. Or #14 Cry when he arrives late. Either way, it's kinda the same thing." Makato kept on wondering what was taking Ike so long. She almost forgot about Ike having mud all over his clothing which could take some time.

"What if-" Makato stared at her plate of food. "He maybe, ditched me?" Makato looked around the restaurant, but no sign of Ike.

'Maybe he's still in the restroom.' Makato thought. She loosened the tightness of her shoulders and picked up her fork, aiming it toward the garden salad. #36 Eat a salad. He will think you're healthy.

Makato took another glance at the book. She grunted. "I don't even like salad. . ."

"What is she reading?" The woman with the long light blue robe stared at her, sitting at a far end table where her view is perfect to see the potion princess' every move. "My my. Lord Mikoru, you love this little girl?"

"I don't even see Ike anymore." Link said.

"I think he left. I saw him a little bit, walking towards the door." Marth said.

"He's so drenched in mud. I bet he's taking his clothes to the Cleaners or something." Pit guessed.

"I bet he ditched her. That's the only possibility. Thinking about it makes me angry!" Roy growled, obliviating his soup crackers.

"So, what's our purpose here again?" Miru asked.

"Um, to watch their date, yea. . . If I remembered correctly." Marth sticked his tongue out.

Miru sighed. Out of boredom, he looked at the other people were who eating in the Delfino Restaurant. A tall woman with long light blue hair, and a long robe caught his eyes. She was walking slowly out of the Restaurant, ignoring the waiters at the door. The scent of delicious foods made Miru turned his head to the table.

"Yaay! Spaghetti and meatballs!" The angel in disguise cheered. A big plate of spaghetti and meatballs with savory spices and many sprinkled cheeses. With a side of soft, fluffy bread sticks.

Marth got his food. A big rectangle many varieties of sushi. Marth made a small bow and said with his girly voice to the waiter.

"Ooh! I do love my raw fish! Arigato~!"

"It was my pleasure, beautiful." He winked.

Marth then croaked. ". . . .You're too kind." Marth scratched his blonde wig and stood silent. The guys around him snickered, holding their laughter.

Link got a large, juicy beef hamburger steak with rice on the side. And Roy got a hot plate of mash potatoes with gravy, and a country fried steak, also a corn on the cob.

"Yeee Haww!" Roy forgot that he was disguised as a girl but it didn't matter to the redhead.

Miru got a whole Italian pizza with crispy onion rings on the side. After the five had all received their food, the waiter brought another plate of food.

"And here's the chicken alfredo for your weird Kirby friend." The waiter said, handing the plate to another unknown person.

"HUH?!" The five said in unison. They all turned their heads to the stranger. Marth was the first to recognize who it was.

"META KNIGHT?!"

"What? Does my presence surprise you? Why are you dressed as a girl?"

"Reasons. . ." Marth blushed.

Roy shook his head up and down like an insane person. "Y-YEA!" Roy spatted out.

"Um, did you follow us?" Marth asked.

"Yes, I worried about this stalking you guys were doing."

"You were eavesdropping?" Pit asked.

Meta Knight ignored what he had said and continued, "I was also worried about Makato."

"In. . . what way?" Link asked.

"Oh, he's back. His clothes are clean." Miru observed from his seat.

"Oh, you're right." Pit put his chin up to see the view. The mercenary did come back with a grumpy look on his face. Now Ike began to expect the same abdominal pain he had earlier this morning. Ike, once again tried to ignore it as he slowly walked back to where Makato was at.

As Ike approached her, he noticed Makato reading the same big brown book since the taxi ride. For some reason, it made him mad that she would just be reading and not caring where he was at. Ike's anger grew even more and more ferocious. His footsteps now became stomps. Makato locked her eyes at Ike when she saw him coming her way. She panicked a little, realizing the book was out. Before she could put it away, Ike snatched the book away from her hands. The gig was up.

Ike sat across from her, staring at the book. He stared at the title cover. "'How Girls Should Act Around Boys During Dates, for Dummies'. Sounds like a stupid book-"

"H-hey! Give it back!" Makato cried.

Ike raised his voice. He felt like, the more he got angry, the more he would forget about the pain in his abdomen. "Why should I give you back this book, huh? How about-" Ike grabbed the book with his two strong hands and pulled the part, causing a giant tear in the middle. Then he put the two halves together into more halves. And more and more and more till it turned into confetti. "-I'll give you it back to you in a million pieces."

Some people end up being bystanders as they watched the scene between Makato and Ike.

"A couple fighting. Coolios!"

"I wanna join in on de drama!"

"Fight fight fight."

"Hey, what is Ike doing?!" Marth angrily whispered. "I'm going to stop this-" Meta Knight stopped his actions. "I wouldn't doing anything if I were you now."

Marth didn't argue back, sighing.

"I don't know! But these mash potatoes are the bomb!" Roy stuffed more food into his mouth.

"I knew something like this would happen." Meta Knight sighed.

"Makato. If Ike hurts her, I will never forgive him." Miru growled.

"Let's see what happens." Link said.

Makato stared at the book that was now into tiny pieces. Makato didn't how to react. Sad or angry? Peach gave that book from the bottom of her heart, hoping it would go well, but now. . .

. . .It had been torn apart.

Makato went on her knees to clean up the mess that Ike made. She kept all of the bits of paper in her small hands. She then got up and faced Ike. Her sight became blurry from the salty water in her eyes. "How could you?! You, monster! Peach gave it to me and now-!"

"Wait, Peach gave you that stupid book? And you're reading it?" Ike groaned and facepalmed. "Never ever receive any gifts from Peach." Ike said.

"You can't tell me what to do!" Makato exclaimed, frustrated. "She was helping me."

"Helping you in what way?" Ike questioned. "She completely ruined everything!"

"Don't blame it on Peach! I've decided to read that book!"

"Well you shouldn't have read it in a library or something. I find it quite rude for you to read during our date."

"Well you should have said something then. I also find it rude for you to just rip my book up into a tiny pieces instead of just saying it's bothering you. I would have just put it away."

"I thought you would have noticed by now. But I was wrong. You rather read that book instead."

Makato didn't like how Ike was talking back to her, so she made her choice. "I think it's best if I leave."

"Go ahead." Ike answered, not caring.

Makato grabbed her bag and headed for the door. Ike stared at her back not moving a muscle. Seconds later, he realized what he had done. Yesterday, he said he would treat her. And now, this treat turned into garbage. Ike tried to call her name but the unbearable pain struck Ike's stomach. He then collapsed on the floor in pain.

"I knew it. . . those were fruit snacks in disguise. . . ." Those were Ike's final words.

"I knew this would happen."

"Should we look for her?"

"Nah, Ike should do the looking."

"Maybe if I look for her right now, she might like me more."

"Look look! I think he's waking up!"

Ike heard a conversation and opened his eyes widely. The pain was gone from his stomach. Ike felt like himself again. He scanned the room, seeing Marth, Roy, Link, Miru, Meta Knight, Pit, and a nurse.

"Welcome back from the dead Ike." Marth smiled.

Ike didn't care at the time if they had followed him or not. He then asked, "Where am I?" Even though it was a pretty obvious question, Marth gave him the answer. "You're in a hospital. You fainted in the Delfino Plaza Restaurant. You've been out for a while."

"How long?"

"I don't know? 30 minutes maybe?" Link said.

"You acted like as if you were on your first period." Roy crossed his arms.

"Hey, I think you should look for Makato." Meta Knight spoke. Ike rolled out of the hospital bed, remembering that she left the Delfino Plaza the last time she saw her.

"Crap, this is all might fault. I should have just told her-" Ike shook his head from his regrets. The nurse walked up to him.

"It seemed you ate something bad that made your stomach upset, but you should be fine now. The bill you owe me will be at the SSBB Mansion."

"Thanks." Ike ran out of the hospital using the energy he stored in his slumber. Miru stared up at the hospital ceiling thinking out loud. "It's not like Makato to argue. . ."

"Strange. Well, everyone argues once in awhile." Marth said.

"Tru tru." Roy nodded happily. "I'm so done wearing those stupid disguises!"

Link stared at a piece of clothing on his body. "Um, you're still wearing the dress."

Roy glanced at his perky black dress and cursed out. "SON OF A BITCH! You should have told me something guuuys!"

The nurse slapped Roy's head. "No cursing in the hospital you mother fuckers!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Roy whined. He then realized, "Hey! You cursed as well."

The nurse glared at him and leaned over to his face. "Oh? Are you accusing a cute innocent nurse like me?! Get out of my hosptial you fuck nuggets!"

The guys left the hospital later and stood on the sidewalks of the Delfino Plaza. "I'm sure Makato is ok." Miru muttered to himself. Marth overheard what he said and put his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we can leave it to Ike."

"Expect he doesn't know where she is." Meta Knight said.

"Don't worry he has a good smell like, that dog!" Marth pointed at a dog that was randomly walking by them.

"He's a pervert then!" Roy growled.

O_o

Ike sprinted on the sidewalks, bumping into people as he go. He searched desperately for the potion princess, but not a sight she was there.

'If I were her, where would I be?' Ike thought to himself. He thought of places in pacific but none came to mind. 'Wait a minute, I don't even know where she would be at this time!'

Ike thought the worse case scenarios. Maybe she left the Delfino Plaza and headed for the Halberd. Maybe she's hiding somewhere? Maybe she's lost? They all don't seem pretty realistic but that could be the case.

Ike heard a faint voice, calling out his name. The feminine voice gradually got louder and louder till it was a recognizable voice.

Ike turned his head in many directions to look for that voice. He then heard it again, which made him face in only one direction, knowing that she was calling him.

"Makato?" He gazed at her from the distance. She panted, with a frown on her face. Sweat slowly moving down to her chin and shaky arms. She held her bag along. It was her.

"Ike!" She cried out again, tears were coming out from her eyes as she ran toward him. She caught her breath once she was near him.

"Makato!" Ike was in relief at the same time guilty. "Makato I-!"

"I'm so sorry. I should have told you why I read that book." Makato interrupted. "Please let me explain. I didn't want you to ditch me."

"Ditch you?" Ike asked.

"Y-yes. Like you did to that girl. Peach was afraid that you might ditch me. So I read the book. They have these rules that you do with a boy. I forced myself! And I didn't even pay attention to you! I'm so sorry! Forgive me, I ruined everything. . ." She wept in front of the mercenary, feeling guilty as well. Ike gently put his hands on her cheeks while he wiped her tears from her eyes.

"Please don't cry Makato. I'm sorry. I knew you were acting strange. Till I read the title of the book. I didn't want you to go by the book. I wanted you to be yourself." Ike stared at her ocean blue eyes. Makato stared back at his blue eyes.

"I love you for being you. Not by that dumb book."

"I'm. . . sorry."

"Ok, no more apologizing."

"Yes, sorry." Makato said.

Ike laughed and took some steps back. "Ok, close your eyes."

"Why?"

"You'll see, it will be quick."

Makato did as told and closed her eyes. She felt Ike right behind her tieing something on her forehead.

"Ok, you can open your eyes now."

Makato felt what was on her head. She noticed something different about Ike. There wasn't his dark green headband on his forehead. "Ike, your-"

"That's my gift for you. Make sure you treasure it. That's my favorite. And I'm lettin you hold onto it."

"I can't accept it!" Makato shook her hands, panicking.

"Don't worry I have thousands of them. I just like that pacific one. Do you like it? You're now part of the 'I Fight For My Friends Campaign.'" Ike laughed. Makato laughed as well.

"Thank you so much. I love it!"

"I'm glad." Ike smiled.

The two of them went to a photo booth and other places that were very fun. The arcade, a sweet shop, it was a blast.

(-_-)

"All's well ends well!" Marth smiled.

"Holy-! It's 4:00!" Link stared at his unknown watch.

"Let's go back to the stadium!" Roy said.

"Meta Knight can take us there." Miru said.

"Or how about you guys get a taxi?" Meta Knight flew away from the group and left.

"You're such a friend Meta Knight!" Marth yelled.

"Well, let's get a taxi." Link said.

4:03 P.M.

"How about we go catch a movie?" Ike asked.

"That's sounds like a good idea! Can we watch Frozen?"

"Silly Makato, there's no sex scenes in Frozen."

"What's that suppose to mean?!" Makato exclaimed. "You said you'd treat me to anything!"

"That's right. . . I never promised that. How about what we list the movies that we like and see."

"My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: The Friendship Games."

"Kill Bill."

"The Hobbit."

"Mission Impossible."

". . ."

". . . .This is not working. . ." Ike said. "How about the Mario and Sonic War? Hope we're not too late."

"Oh my gosh! I forgot! Let's go!"

'My turn to come in.' The same woman with the long robe approached the two. "Excuse me-!"

Makato and Ike turned to the person that was calling to them.

"I did not mean to be the third wheel in this party but," The woman stared at Makato with a grin. "Do you not remember me Makato? I'm your mama's friend? Auntie Michelle. Your mother Rosaline. She is such a good friend indeed. And your siblings, Haru and Flora. I still remember them when they were kids."

"Sorry Ma'am, I don't remember you." Makato answered, still unsure.

"If that doesn't work send the fake mail and give it to Makato." Mikoru once said to Michelle.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Your mom gave me a letter and told me to give you this." She handed Makato a sealed envelope that said: "To Makato."

Makato opened it and read it:

To my dear daughter,

If you have received this letter, then it must be that your lovely Aunt Michelle is with you. Please, she would like to visit you and the SSBB Mansion that you work at. She will return to Niho after your birthday. Please take good care her. Also, you probably wouldn't remember her, because you were just a baby when she met you.

With love,

Mother.

"Oh, I see." Makato made a small smile.

"It was luck that I found you here." Michelle smiled.

'Her face, it almost looks like. . . Miru. . .' Makato thought.

"Well, since you're here, Aunt Michelle. We're about to go to the Mario and Sonic War in the Halberd. Please come along."

"Ok, great!" Michelle faced Ike and bowed. "It's nice to meet you. You must be a Smasher. My name is Michelle."

"I'm Ike Greil. It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Ike noticed that she never showed her hands. She hid her hands within those long sleeves.

'The plan is working, Lord Mikoru.' She made an evil smirk in her mind.

Ike called for a taxi to the Stadium and they all went together.

Stadium

Marth, Link, Roy, Miru, and Pit arrived at the stadium sitting with other Smashers. They noticed the crowd was either, unhappy, angry, bored, or some kind of negative energy. It was the last day of the Mario and Sonic War. All of the team members were out in a line and a boy around his teenage years was out as well.

Marth leaned over to Zelda. "Hey, um, Zelda."

"Ugh! This is so stupid! It's either he doesn't have a sense of humor or Team Mario and Team Sonic suck with jokes!"

"Hey, Zelda!" Marth called out her name again. Zelda turned to Marth and smiled.

"Oh, hey Marth. Where have you been?"

"I tell you later, but, can you fill us on what is happening?"

"Sure. . ."

What Happened Earlier

3:00 P.M.

"WELCOME TO THE LAST DAY OF THE MARIO AND SONIC WAR! ARE YALL EXCITED?!" Master Hand announced.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The crowd screamed with joy and excitement.

"WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE PERSON DETERMINE THE WINNER OF THE MARIO AND SONIC WAR!"

"Then what was the point with the points?!"

"Yea!"

"I'm so confused!"

"This is STEWPOD!"

"HOLD YOUR TITTIES!" Crazy Hand shouted. "WE NEED ONE VOLUNTEER FROM THE AUDIENCE TO COME DOWN TO THE STADIUM."

People started screaming their names, jumping up and down, pointing at people while people pointing at them.

The chosen person was shown on the projector and everybody saw his face.

"WE NOW HAVE OUR PERSON. PLEASE COME DOWN TO THE STADIUM YOUNG MAN."

The guy didn't dare to move. But everyone urged him to move a foot or two. Crazy Hand popped and vein and threatened him. "OR ELSE. . ."

The guy shrugged and just jumped down to the stadium grounds. People clapped and oohed him from that high distance.

Team Mario and Team Sonic, 5 members from each team came down to the middle and form a line single file as told from Master Hand. Crazy Hand asked a few questions before they start.

Crazy Hand put his whole giant palm around the young man, but he seemed a little bit uncomfortable with that. A giant microphone was in front of him for everyone to here.

"FEELING EXCITED?!" Crazy Hand asked the stranger.

". . ."

"GIVE US YOUR NICKNAME!"

He stood there thinking what kind of nickname he should have:

"... I don't know."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" The crowd raged, throwing their garbage at the teen. Yells, complaints, boos, anything to show that the audience hated him.

"LET'S JUST CALL HIM MISTER COCKY."

". . ."

"SEEMS THAT HE LIKES IT! OK LET'S GET STARTED!" Crazy Hand shouted. He grabbed Mr. Cocky and pushed him in a chair. The chains were tied tightly around Mr. Cocky's ankles and his wrist.

"Hey!" He wasn't very happy about this. Crazy Hand shush him up. This time Master Hand did the talking.

"OK GUYS! THIS EVENT IS VERY SIMPLE! EACH PERSON WILL GO TO MR. COCKY AND THE GOAL IS TO MAKE HIM HAVE A GOOD LAUGH. MAKE HIM GRIN EVEN! JOKES, RIDDLES, STUFF LIKE THAT ARE FINE. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT YOU CANNOT TOUCH THE PERSON! YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO MAKE HIM LAUGH. IF THE PERSON FAILS, IT WOULD THEN GO TO THE OTHER TEAM. SIMPLE AS 1-2-3! THE TEAM THAT MAKES HIM LAUGH FIRST, WINS THE GRAND PRIZE AND THE WHOLE MARIO AND SONIC WAR! HERE IS THE ORDER FOR EACH TEAM."

The order was listed on the projector for everyone to see.

Team Mario

Mario

Luigi

Bowser

Peach

Yoshi

Team Sonic

Sonic

Tails

Knuckles

Amy

Eggman

Gags and silly items were in a box for the members to use.

"LET'S GET STARTED!"

The audience clapped and cheered the best, knowing this is the last event.

"This is going to be easy!"

"Go Mario dude!"

"You better make this fast Sonic!"

"Go teams go!" Miku cheered, stuffing another leak in her mouth.

"Oh my, I wonder if he's ok?" Rosalina thought, staring at Mr. Cocky.

Naruto shrugged. "He looks like he's having a blast!"

"I wouldn't say that." Kaito sweat dropped.

0_0

First up, Mario walked to Mr. Cocky.

"Why did the meatball cross the road?"

"Why?"

"To get to the noodle!"

". . ."

"Get it? Meatballs go with spaghetti?" Mario felt frustrated that he didn't get the joke so he blurted, "You-a suck!"

"And you swallow. . ."

"OOOOOOOOOH! BURN!"

"NEXT."

Sonic came up the man.

"You're too slow! You're too slow!" Sonic ran in place repeating the same line.

". . ."

"How would that make someone laugh?"

"It's more like taunting!"

"NEXT."

Luigi was up. He got a whoopie cushion that was filled with air. Luigi grinned at Mr. Cocky who didn't respond to his grin. Luigi placed the whoopie cushion on the ground and stomped on it. The whoopie cushion made a loud farting noise. Most of the audience laughed after that. However, Mr. Cocky stood silent.

"NEXT."

It was now Tails turn.

"Ok! My turn!" Tails pulled out a air horn and blast the shit out of it. People's ear were bleeding like a waterfall. The annoying sound echoed throughout the stadium. Mr. Cocky just shook his head from the noise.

"NEXT."

It was now Bowser's turn. He grabbed Bowser Jr along and beat him up to a pulp. Some people find that hilarious, others find that to be child abuse. Mr. Cocky didn't say anything.

Bowser growled and stepped on Bowser Jr's head with his big foot.

"Are you kidding me?! Don't you find beating up children funny?!"

"Not interested." He spoke.

"Not interested?! What does that suppose to mean-?!"

"NEXT."

Knuckles was next.

"Heh, this is going to be easy. I'll tell you one of my cool treasure stories."

15 seconds passed and he was forced to go back to the line.

Peach was next.

"You are cute fellow you know that?" Peach gleamed. "I love your spiky blonde hair, almost reminds me of Naruto!"

". . ."

"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed. Mario glared at Mr. Cocky and grumbled. "Psst, what about his stupid spiky hair?! He needs-a haircut if you ask me!"

"Mama mia!" Naruto exclaimed. "He does not look like me at all!"

"NEXT."

Amy was up next. She had 3 balls in her hands and started juggling them. Everyone had to admit, she was pretty skilled but at the same time, there wasn't any humor.

"NEXT."

Yoshi was next. He wiggled his tongue and shook his bum but that didn't work.

"NEXT."

Eggman was next. He started to build something that didn't last 15 seconds.

The same pattern kept on going and the crowd was getting pretty tired from it. Mario grew jealous every 15 seconds from Peach flirting with a stranger. Sonic just got bored and decided to talk to him every 15 seconds because he believed there was no point. Surprisingly, Mr. Cocky would talk back sometimes. Bowser would bring Bowser Jr and beat him up to entertain Mr. Cocky. Tails would try his hardest making him laugh. Amy tried singing along with juggling. Yoshi would just keep on saying 'Yoshi'. Luigi is also trying his best to make him laugh. Knuckles would tell Mr. Cocky his treasure hunting stories. Eggman is secretly making something every 15 seconds.

Present Time

"What the-?" Marth was pretty shock.

"Yea, it's pretty disappointing." Zelda sighed. "Right now the teams are taking a 10 minute break. It should be over soon."

Marth stared at Mr. Cocky. "This must been a really hard event for the teams."

"There's something behind his back," Roy noticed. "It looks like a sword."

"Yea, you're right." Miru said.

"I wonder if he fights?" Link said.

"OMG! The gods have brought you back to life!" Lucina ran over to Marth and squeezed him like her teddy bear. Robin sighed in relief.

"Good afternoon, I thought you were dead from Lucina's bento."

Marth remembered about the bento and laughed. "Well, I am the Prince Marth! Nothing kills me!" Marth flipped his hair, trying not to ruin his reputation.

"I worship you!" Lucina praised him. "I'm so glad I didn't have to go to jail or something."

"Jail?"

Lucina covered her mouth and squealed. "EEP! Nothing! Nothing!" Lucina sat right next to Marth, pushing Roy aside.

Robin sat right next to Lucina, pushing Roy aside another chair.

"HEY!" Roy yelled annoyed.

The break was up and the teams came back in the same order. Mr. Cocky sighed out of boredom.

"This is so stu-." Mr. Cocky stared at the red plumber that approached him with blood lustful eyes. He leaned so close to him that his big nose was against Mr. Cocky's human nose.

"You think you're all that huh?! Looking all cool to impress all of the ladies huh?!"

"Not interested-"

Mario jabbed his finger on Mr. Cocky's shirt. "Listen you PUNK! Stay away from my woman, or else I'll rip your head off!" Mario threatened the stranger.

"NEXT."

Mario was walking away and said one more thing to him. "You better watch out! I'm warning you, you blonde hair spikey Naruto-punk!"

"Hey! For the thousandth time, he does not look like me!" Naruto shouted, while slurping up some ramen.

"I bet you gained 10 lbs from every ramen you eat." Rosalina said.

It was finally Peach's turn. She quickly ran up to him and kneeled before him. She put her arms on his thighs to support her chin, so she can stare at his pretty boy face. "So, want to get some ice cream after the Mario and Sonic War?"

"Not interested."

"What's your favorite food?"

"Not ice cream."

"How old are you?"

"You don't need to know."

"Do you like heavy metal?"

"Not interested."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

". . ."

"Are you a good babysitter?"

"Don't ask me that question again." Mr. Cocky, looked away, feeling emotionally depressed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask you that."

"NEXT."

"Wait, I have one more question!" Peach gleamed. "What's your real name?"

". . .Mr. Cocky."

"Not your nickname silly! Your real name! My name is Peach!"

"NEXT DAMNIT!"

It was then Eggman's turn. He made an evil smirk. With every 15 seconds he had, he had now made a thing that looked like a futuristic gun. "Hohohoho! I have now made a laugh ray! With this Mr. Cocky, you will laugh 24/7 non-stop action of laughing!"

Mr. Cocky, sweat dropped from what he had said.

"Prepare yourself! Go laugh ray!" Eggman pointed at Mr. Cocky. Nothing happened.

"Holy eggs! I forgot an on and off switch! Blast it all!"

Mr. Cocky put his head down in a quick manner. Eggman noticed something strange. Was he about to laugh?

"NEXT."

Mario came back stomping over to Mr. Cocky. There was fire in his eyes.

"You little SWINE! I told stay away from my girl!"

"I'm chained to a chair-"

"NO EXCUSES! GET READY TO FEEL MY WRATH!" Mario put his hands in the air and a red giant fireball gradually grew larger and larger by the second. The crowd was in utter confusion. What was he about to do with that giant fire ball?

"KAME! . . . . .KAME!"

The audience started panicking.

"Holy shit! Mario dude is trying to kill him!"

"Someone stop him!"

"Now that's more like the Mario I know!"

"This is getting interesting!"

"He's going to die!"

Peach dashed to the scene and blocked Mario's way.

"NO! Don't kill him Mario! I still need his number!"

"How could you say that?! He's nothing but a pimp! FUCKING P.I.M.P!"

"Whoa! Mario calm down!" Sonic ran up to him and blocked his way as well.

"Get out of the way Sonic!" Mario yelled.

The fireball was still getting enormous, very ENORMOUS! Both from Team Mario and Team Sonic came down to stop Mario, only just blocking his way. The Smashers came down to the middle of the stadium as well.

"LOL, why are we here?" Roy asked.

"Mario's going berserk." Marth simply said.

"Oh, okay."

"Is this the part where we all dance?" Kirby said.

"I'm hungry! I could really go for a piece of fruit right now!" Yoshi whined.

"Let's play! Yaay!" Lucina ran around the middle of the stadium, while Robin chased after her, trying to stop her. "Lucina we can't go here!"

"I can't believe I'm here to stop a plumber." Ganondorf growled.

"Then leave." Link said.

Ike was sitting right next to Makato along with Michelle, the strange woman, in the Guest Area.

"See Ma'am? This is what you call an emergency." Ike explained, crossing his arms.

"I see, I see." Michelle nodded.

"Um, Ike, shouldn't you go down there? Everybody from the Smash Mansion is there." Makato asked.

"Nah." Ike grinned. "You can keep me company." Ike leaned over to Makato and put his arm around her, pulling her closer.

"I-Ike." Makato blushed.

"Now time to have some fun dattebayo!" Naruto jumped down to the stadium, which triggered Ike's angry mind, now having the urge to kill him.

"Come back here!" Ike followed, jumping to the stadium as well. Makato sweat dropped, but she couldn't help but to let out a small laugh.

"What a strange man." Michelle smiled.

"Well, that is Ike. I hope to know a little more about him." Makato smiled.

"Well, aside from that, seems that the whole stadium is going to go up in flames from that small man in the red."

"Just may be."

You probably need to go back to chapter 21 about this. . .

A girl named Minda got lucky by earning a Mewtwo, the Mewtwo, from the Pokemon Booth days ago. Minda saw Mewtwo with an evil glare pointing at Lucario.

"Mewtwo? What's wrong?"

"Oh, um, nothing at all!"

"It's been fun with you Mewtwo. But, I believe that you don't need to live in a Pokeball anymore. You're free to go! Enjoy the world!" She smiled.

"Such a nice human. I was going to abandon you earlier. . ." Mewtwo started. "Thank you, Minda, I won't forget you." Mewtwo made an evil laugh and pointed 1 out of his 3 fingers at the tiny figure of Lucario. "Now! The time has come! I shall destroy you!" The alien Pokemon teleported to the stadium to hunt the raccoon Pokemon.

"You're just going to let a loose Pokemon run loose?! You're insane!" Someone yelled.

"Be quiet! I really wanted a Jigglypuff!" Minda saw a cute Jigglypuff in the middle of the stadium and she squealed with joy.

"EEK! A Jigglypuff!" She sprinted out of her seat to go to the Jigglypuff.

A lot of people were in the middle of the stadium. There was a lot of random fighting and talking and confusion. Most people put their eyes on the huge fireball that Mario was about to use.

"WELL, this is not good. . ." Master Hand said.

"IKR?! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Crazy Hand said.

"I have now created the biggest fire ball! Way bigger than my Final Smash!" Sweat dripped from Mario's face as he smirked. Mario was about to throw it. Everyone told him to stop. While others encourage him on.

Snake used a small smoke bomb, which caused even more catastrophe. He unchained Mr. Cocky by breaking the chains with his bare hands.

"Better run while you have the chance kid." Snake suggested.

". . ."

The smoke cleared in less than a minute. Mario saw Mr. Cocky unchained which made him even more mad.

"GET READY TO DIE!" Mario was about to throw it, till Sonic purposely tripped him. Mario lost balance as the giant fire ball slipped from Mario's hand and aimed straight for Mr. Cocky still.

"Rest in peace Mr. Cocky." Roy said.

Mr. Cocky didn't run away though. Instead, he pulled out a long, big sword from his back and aimed it toward the fire ball. He quickly observed it of what the fireball was capable of. He put his sword down, grabbed a cup of water near his chair and splashed it on the fireball. The fireball screamed in pain and agony and died instantly. Vanishing in thin air.

Everyone was surprised. Shocked. Confused. Dumbfounded.

Mario sweat dropped. "Mama mia! I use all of my power!" Mario tried again, lifting his hands up in the air, but it didn't work. He fell flat to the ground, lifeless. All of his energy was gone with one attack.

"AND THE WINNER OF THE MARIO AND SONIC WAR, IS MR. COCKY!" Master Hand and Crazy Hand announced.

Everyone made loud claps and cheers for the winner. The winner for the whole Mario and Sonic War. Both Mario and Sonic teams just shrugged it off and clapped along.

Confetti rain down in the middle of the stadium and the spotlight was all over on Mr. Cocky.

"Wow, he won?! I still don't get it!" Pit said.

"That's soo stupid." Roy said.

"Not interest-."

"YOU HAVE TO BE INTERESTED MR. COCKY! YOUR GRAND PRIZE IS. . ."

Everyone waited for the grand prize to be announced.

"YOUR GRAND PRIZE IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YET! PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT!"

Master Hand and Crazy Hand started discussion about the prize. The original prize was met for either Team Mario or Team Sonic. But things changed.

"YOUR GRAND PRIZE IS TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS AND A ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET AT THE DELFINO PLAZA BUFFET FOR A YEAR!"

"WOOOOAAAAAAAAH!" Everyone applaud to the grand prize, standing up.

A giant check was handed to Mr. Cocky that was signed by Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Also, they handed him is Delfino Plaza Buffet ticket.

"How do you feel?" Master Hand asked.

Ok, I guess." He answered, shrugging.

"Tell us your name sir, Mr. Cocky."

"Cloud Strife."

"NO, NOT YOUR NICKNAME. YOUR REAL NAME."

"I already told you, it's Cloud."

"CONGRATULATIONS MISTER COCKY CLOUD STRIFE!" Crazy Hand shouted. Everyone applauded. After that, Cloud had to take a photo with the two big hands while holding up his prize. The picture would be held at the SSBB Mansion.

"THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE MARIO AND SONIC WAR. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY ALL OF THE EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT WERE HELD. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!" Master Hand announced. "BUT BEFORE YOU ALL LEAVE, WE WILL BE HAVING AN ENDING CEREMONY WITH YOUR PROBABLY FAVORITE SINGERS. MIKU HATSUNE WITH KAITO!"

"Yaay! We're singing Kaito! Let's go!" Miku grabbed Kaito's arm and ran to the middle to the stadium.

"Who said I wanted to sing?!"

When they arrived at the stage, everyone held glowsticks in their hands. They sang the song Cantarella.

(-_-)

The ending ceremony included, a signing booth and picture taking from both Team Mario and Team Sonic, a large barbeque, dancing, singing, games, and a bounce house.

Many people enjoyed the ending ceremony.

7:00 P.M.

"Ok, I told Master Hand about you Aunt Michelle. You can stay with us. That does include the Smash Mansion." Makato explained to her Aunt.

"Thank you dearie." Michelle smiled. "I would like to go back to that Halberd ship and get some sleep."

"I'll take you there." Makato offered.

Halberd

Makato led Michelle to the empty Halberd to the girl's room.

"You can sleep in this bed." Makato pointed to her bed. Michelle flopped down and closed her eyes.

"Ah thank you so much!"

"Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Please have fun. I'm just tired, after a long day. You know?"

". . .Yes of course. Good night then." Makato left the girl's room, closing the door right behind her.

Outside of Stadium

Lots of people were exiting the stadium while Makato entered the stadium. She saw some fighting happening.

"Let us fight!" Galacta Knight pointed his sword at Meta Knight.

"You annoy me in my sleep." Meta Knight said.

Lucario with this strange alien cat.

"I've waited for this day to come! Now you will die!" Mewtwo said.

Lucario didn't say anything. He pulled out a photo with a picture of a regular kitten that had white fur.

"MOTHER!" Mewtwo swiped the photo away from Lucario and wept.

"Dude, that's not even your mother." Lucario said, walking away.

"I'll get you for this!" Mewtwo sniffled.

"Let's play some Chinese checkers." Marth suggested to Roy and Miru.

"Sounds boring." Roy made a thumbs down.

"How do you play that?" Miru asked, scratching his head.

"Well it goes like-"

"Prince Marth!" Daisy waved over to him running toward him. Hearts were surrounding her as she approached him. Roy and Miru backed away and snickered.

"D-Daisy, hi. . ." Marth tried to smile.

Daisy wrapped his arm around Marth's. "Let us make out somewhere where no one can see us" She whispered.

Marth almost threw up from that thought and tried to pull himself away from her.

"I rather not-"

A bluenette interrupted them, breaking the grasp of Daisy's arm. She made a human blockade between Marth and Daisy.

"Lucina!" Marth said.

"I won't let you lay a finger on Marth-sama!" Lucina defended him.

Daisy cracked her knuckles. "So you must be Lucina! I'm going to get rid of you once and for all."

Lucina's voice darkened. "Come at me."

The brawl began and the both beat each other senselessly. Pulling hairs, biting, kicking, punching. It was a more than a cat fight. It was a tiger fight. Roy and Miru walked up to Marth.

"Wow, I want girls fighting over me." Roy laughed.

"Ok." Marth pushed Roy in the catfight, getting the beating as well.

". . ." Miru stood silent. "Umm, so, Chinese checkers?"

"Sounds great. . ."

Later. . .

"Dattebayo!"

Naruto and Ike were across from each, breathing heavily. Sweat fell from their foreheads. Smirks from both of the teens.

"Heh, you're not that bad." Ike said.

Naruto scoffed. "Heh! Don't you know that I'm a pro when it comes to this?"

"How about one more round then?"

"Sure! Give me your worst!"

"Naruto! Stop playing Dance Dance Revolution! Let's go!" Sakura called out to him. Ike and Naruto were both about to dance to the next song till Sakura came.

"Or did you forget you're the main character?" Sakura tapped her foot.

"No Sakura-chan." Naruto sighed and faced Ike. "We'll continue our battle later. After, I save the world, that is!"

"You go do that. Adios." Ike waved.

:_:

"Makato! How was your date?" Samus asked, seeing her face.

"Samus! It was very fun actually. Oh, have you seen Peach? I must report her about today."

Samus smirked. "She's with that guy- Cloud, yea that's his name." Samus pointed to a handful of girls screaming and squealing around Cloud.

"Oh, Mr. Cocky won the prize then?" Makato said.

"Yea. . ."

The girl's screams were unbearable to hear. Cloud snuck out, crawling beneath the girl's heels and shoes.

"He's sneaking out." Makato said observing.

"This is troublesome." Cloud murmured.

"Clouds! Eek!" Peach grabbed his arm and pulled it close to herself.

"Peach is in love with a stranger." Samus facepalmed. The bounty hunter threw a smoke bomb at the blondes to distract the two. Peach's coughs were loud to hear, letting go of the guy's arm. The smoke cleared out and Mr. Cocky vanished.

Peach turned to who threw the bomb and glared. "Samus! Why did you-?!"

"You were bothering him of course!" Samus answered.

The pink princess pouted and crossed her arms. "You don't know what it's like to be in love."

"Yea, I don't know." She rolled her eyes.

"Umm, Peach I'm back." The potion princess called out to Peach.

"Makato-chan!" Peach's mood change from 0 to 100 real quick.

"Tell meee! How did it go?! Did the book work?! Tell me tell me!"

Makato showed the scraps of the book left. Peach sweat dropped.

"Ike did that huh?"

"Yes. . . He was pretty upset that I was reading the book. But in the end, we had fun. We took, pictures together, played games, karaoke, it was fun!"

Peach squealed louder than the fangirls of Mr. Cocky and bear hugged her.

"Hey, what's on your head?" Samus pointed out.

Makato touched the warm headband at the ends and smiled. "Ike. . . gave it to me. As a gift."

"Awww~!" Peach said.

"That's cute." Samus said. "But, you look like a martial artist. . ."

"Hehehe, than people won't mess with me than!"

The girls laughed altogether.

"What's so funny?" The mercenary interrupted their giggles.

"Hello Ikey!" Peach greeted. "Come on, Samus! Let's eat some BBQ!" Peach pushed Samus with force as they both left the two alone.

"Hello Ike." Makato said. "We were just talking about the headband."

"I see." Ike said. "Well, Naruto just left to save the world or something. Let's take a walk? Our date isn't completely done yet, princess."

Makato blushed and nodded. "Okay." Ike held her hand with a tight grip as they both left the stadium.

They talked about stuff till they arrived at the Halberd, than they made another destination to the forest.

"I really did enjoy going to the Delfino Plaza with you." Makato started. "Thank you. For treating me."

"Well, I did want to make it all up for you. After all that I did." Ike replied. "Let's go their again some other time. If it's okay with you."

"I would love to." Makato answered. She glanced up at the sky and saw the bright and sparkling stars that were glowing. Ike stared at her eyes that were being reflected by the moonlight.

"Hey, can I ask you one more thing?" Ike held her face closely to his.

". . .What is it?" Makato asked quietly.

"Do you love me?"

". . ." Makato pulled him away and turned away from the mercenary. "I already told you, I only think of you as a friend. . ."

"I forgot. . ."

She turned to him and smiled. "But, I would be lying if I said that." Makato laughed and skipped away. Ike thought about what she said and realized what she meant.

"H-hey!" Ike laughed as he jogged after her. He caught up to Makato and held her tightly, swinging her around with his arms. They kept on laughing as they played in the forest.

"Isn't that cute?" Marth laughed watching from afar, along with Lucina. Robin stared.

"Hey, are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to Makato?" Lucina asked once more.

Robin shook his head and made a soft smile. "It's okay. I'll meet her again someday. In the mansion itself." Robin answered. "Let's go home."

"Aye captain! See ya Marth-sama!" Lucina and Robin walked away from Marth, heading back to their home. Marth waved goodbye. "Sayonara. . ."

The stadium later was then closed for good. A giant laser beam surrounded the stadium for no mercy whoever crossed the border.

"All going according to plan Lord Mikoru."

"Good, treat her like your own niece till her birthday comes."
