Yoshizilla: The drama/angst/tragedy/suspense continues on in Yoshi Kart, and it's going quite well. That, and Happy Fourth of July, or better known as Independence Day here in the USA. So enjoy the chapter, folks!
Later, in the McDonald's, everyone had seperated from each other, save a few, and sat at their own tables. Luckily, Bowser allowed Sonic to come sit at his table, alongside himself, Mewtwo, Ganondorf, Yoshi, Dr. Hoshi, Wolf, Leon, Panther, Pigma, Oikanny, Captain Falcon, Wario, Waluigi, and Mr. Game-and-Watch, who became his own racer. He said absolutely nothing, enraged of what has happened last night.
"We have a free spot for you, Sonic," Ganondorf said in a friendly tone, moving a bit to the left to allow a free sit for Sonic between him and Bowser.
"Thanks guys," Sonic said, as he sat between the two respected Super Smash Brothers villains.
Yoshi shook his head. "Yeesh...after that Ankylosaurus Desert race, almost everyone is keeping their distance..." He sighed, frowning. "I wish Mario and Luigi wouldn't fight anymore..."
"Agreed," Dr. Hoshi complimented, sipping some coffee, "What I'm glad, however, is that some people around here can be able to hold off their anger."
Captain Falcon nodded, but he frowned. "Yeah, but that didn't stop Shadow or Falco from quitting the Grand Prix..." He tapped his chin. "I wonder what will happen to them..."
"Don't forget Krystal, too," Sonic said with a sad look as he glanced at Fox sitting by himself.
"Too bad Banjo and Kazooie split up..." Pigma started, looking at the bear and bird staring at each other angrily from their own tables, "They were a good team..."
"So was Star Fox, but that didn't stop them from splitting up," Ganondorf added, looking at Mewtwo and Bowser. "Any thoughts, guys?"
Sonic sighed, "Well, Shadow's gone, and Amy won't even be in the same space as me. It's gonna be lonely and tough racing by myself."
"Don't worry," Dr. Hoshi said, smiling, "We'll support you, Sonic. Even though we might be enemies in the races, we'll still be friends deep down in our hearts."
"Awwww...thanks Dr Hoshi." Sonic thanked, smiling a little.
Dr. Hoshi nodded, smiling. Yoshi looked over to another table, to see May and Misty both silent, Peach sitting with them. "Hmmm...they've been quite quiet for sometime now. They barely touched anything..."
"It's because of the pressure," Captain Falcon explained, looking over to see Timber and COnker chattering to each other about the other Diddy Kong racers. "Depression is getting to everyone's heads..."
"I know..." Ganondorf agreed, "Anything we should do to brighten up the mood, guys?"
Amy Rose suddenly got up and half walked/half ran out of the restaurant.
"What the heck was that about?" Popo asked Nana.
Nana shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe she wants to be alone...?"
It was then that Mario got up and started cursing at Luigi, who cursed back.
Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi, as well as Captain Falcon and Ganondorf, grimaced. "It's happening again..." They all muttered at the same time, watching the two brothers fighting each other, pushing the other characters aside and knocking down tables and chairs.
Finally, Luigi just took a big swing at Mario with his hammer, hitting him right in the face and knocking him down.
Everyone gasped, and looked at Luigi with shocked, puzzled faces.
"MARIO!" Peach cried, running to the unconcious red plumber, and sobbing. "Mario..." She started crying uncontrollably.
Luigi just walked out of the place with his head hung, following Amy.
Several first-attendant Chansies picked up Mario, and rushed him to the nearby hosbital.
Yoshi shook his head. "Oh man...what's this depression getting into everyone's head?"
Pikachu simply got up and left, following Amy and Luigi before him.
Dr. Mario just shook his head in disappointment. Pichu started to cry.
Amy had wandered over to where Sonic's Kart lay, the memories of the fight between her, Sonic and Shadow fresh in her mind. Now the angry part of her was telling her to smash Sonic's car for spite...that would show him.
Amy raised her hammer above her head as she glared at Sonic's Kart, tears in her eyes. "Th-This'll teach him... It's his fault the team's broken up anyway..."
Amy swung down her hammer upon the engine of Sonic's car, smashing it. then she just let loose and started hammering Sonic's car like crazy, frowning and crying all the while.
Pikachu walked by Amy, and noticed that Marth and Roy were removing their personal belongings from their old kart. A taxi cab for each of them arrived, and the two swordsmen got in their own taxi cab, taking off in the other direction. He growled and shook his head. "I don't need those two...I can survive this race on my own."
Over on Pikachu's side, Luigi can be seen destroying the Red Fire with his hammer, and also burning it with his green fireballs. "Stupid Mario...teaming up with him...feh! I'll show him how it feels to be second fiddle..." He growled, smirking as he destroyed the same vehicle that he and Mario rode in.
Master Hand looked worridely outside, turning to Crazy Hand and Taj. "We can't let this madness go on, gentlemen. If the racers continue this, they'll destroy each other..."
Dr. Hoshi, watching Amy, Luigi, and Pikachu beat up their old karts, turned around to his friends. "I suggest we all should get some sleep and think what's going to happen in the future..." He frowned, shaking his head. "We can't change the past, and there's no way that anyone will be willing to be friends anymore." He headed upstairs, followed by Yoshi.
Captain Falcon nodded. "Well, I'll go and practice my skills for the next race." He headed off for another exit.
Ganondorf looked at Bowser, Mewtwo, Sonic, Wario, and Waluigi. "Well, guys...looks like it's just us."
Amy gave one last swing of her hammer and completely destroyed Sonic's car. "There," she sobbed, "Now he'll be disqualified. Stupid Sonic..."
Sonic, however, had witnessed the whole thing, and he was furious, as well as hurt that Amy had resorted to this.
"...Dr. Hoshi's right on this one," Mewtwo said, looking at Sonic. "Sonic, would you like us to fix up your kart?"
But Sonic was already over there, arguing with Amy. "What the hell, Amy!? What's wrong with you!? Why would you resort to sabotage?!?!"
Amy just glared angrily at him. "Like you sabotaged our team and friendship!?" She cried and slapped him hard.
Sonic held his injured cheek for a moment, before giving into his anger and slapping back.
Next thing, Sonic and Amy were just attacking each other viviously, screaming insults at one another.
Mewtwo frowned, as did Bowser, Ganondorf, Wario, and Waluigi, who all looked down in shame.
Pikachu gave his old car one more bolt of electricity, zapping it for good. "There," He said angrily, "That'll show what I think of 'teamwork'." He angrily stomped off back into the hotel, going straight upstairs.
Crazy Hand was now trying to break up the fight, not too happy with what he just saw. "Sonic! Amy! Enough!" He gave them both a light slap, enough to snap them out of the fight. "I'm surprised at both of you! Resorting to Sabotage and fisticuffs!?"
"Leave them be," Luigi butted in, "Like what do you care, anyway?" He shouted at Crazy Hand flicking him the middle finger and storming into the hotel.
Crazy Hand took a deep breath. "Sonic, you're disqualified, since your car is in no shape to race. Amy, you're disqualified for starting a fight." He floated off warily, ignoring Luigi's insult. "It's official..." He muttered to the villains in defeat, "The Super Smash Brothers are done for..."
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!" Sonic and Amy screamed at each other before storming off in opposite directions.
"...Well that didn't go very well..." Wario said quietly.
Waluigi was equally worried. "Guys...do you think the Super Smash Bros are really out of business?"
Ganondorf let out a huge sigh. "Well..." He looked at Peach, who was still crying uncontrollably over Mario's injury, and being angry at Luigi at the same time, while being comforted by May and Misty. "I definitely don't think this is a sign of good things to come..."
Bowser Jr. came running in, crying. "Dad..." He sobbed, "Snake...he's dead!"
"Snake is dead?!" Ganondorf exclaimed in horror.
Bowser looked horrified. "Solid Snake!?!? Dead!? What happened!?"
"It's all over the news," Larry said, sobbing as well as the other 6 Koopa Kids as he turned on the TV.
"And a nation mourns the death of Big Boss and his reknowned son, Solid Snake," The TV news reporter said, "In other tragic news, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner have both mysteriously disappeared, and Young Link is rumored to being booted out of the Super Smash Brothers..."
Mewtwo closed his eyes. "This is the end. There is no future for Super Smash Brothers now," He said in a very angered and depressed tone.
"Ugh...I wish this were all a bad dream..." Bowser said, wishing against fate.
"We all do, Bowser," Ganondorf said, patting him on the back, "We all do-"
"YOU STUPID BIRD!!" Banjo snapped, slapping Kazooie with his backpack, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN DEFEAT GRUNTILDA THAT TIME!! IT WAS I WHO GOT THE JINJONATOR!!"
"UP YOURS, DUMBNUT!!!" Kazooie started pecking at Banjo, causing the bear to hid in his backpack, "if you didn't have me around in the first place, you'd be toast!"
Crazy Hand couldn't take much more of this, hearing all the arguments. "Must...keep...cool..."
"Why did I even hatch you!?" Banjo shouted, chocking Kazooie, "If I didn't hatch that egg, you wouldn't have been born and I would have been happy!" He then angrily yelled, "KAZOOIE, YOU WERE AN ACCIDENT!!!"
Everyone inside gasped in horror, including Kazooie, who fumed and slammed Banjo down on the floor.
"You...you..." She started growling angrily, sobbing as well with tears coming down her eyes, "DAMN YOU, BANJO!!!! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!!" She ran out of the hotel, crying.
Mewtwo couldn't take it anymore. He glared at Banjo. "Get the hell out, Banjo. NOW." He growled, forming a Shadow Ball.
Banjo took off down the road, far from the hotel. "I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!" He yelled as he ran.
Ganondorf just shook his head. "I'm laying down...I can't take this anymore." He sulked upstairs, leaving Bowser, Mewtwo, Wario, and Waluigi. Mr. Game-and-Watch also left upstairs, not saying anything at all.
"This is the worst thing to ever happened to us..." Mewtwo moaned, sighing and holding his head, "We're being split apart..."
"I hope things get better...and soon," was all Bowser had left to say.
Sonic was currently in his room, feeling even more sad and regretful than ever after what happened between him and Amy.
"Sonic?" Yoshi's voice said from the outside of the room, "Are you all right?"
Sonic moaned. "I feel worse than ever Yoshi..."
Yoshi entered the room, still frowning after what happened earlier. "Sonic, you have my full pity..." He sighed as he jumped on the bed, "I didn't have much luck today, either..."
Sonic looked at Yoshi. "May, right?" He asked, having note of the fight between Yoshi and May.
Yoshi nodded. "Yeah. She completely hates me after I called her a slut...and none of my friends except Dr. Hoshi will talk to me..." He let out a big sigh, "Everytime I see Boshi in the hallway, he always takes off in the different direction. And Luigi...he didn't even notice me."
Sonic sighed miserably. "I know how that feels. Tails is the only one talking to me, seeing as how Knuckles and Amy refuse to even be in the same room as me..."
Meanwhile, in her room, Amy was also feeling unhappy, but felt more like staying as angry at her former friends as possbile. "Stupid Sonic...stupid Shadow..." She sniffled. "It's all their fault..."
Peach walked into the room. "Amy...is it okay if I came in?" She asked in a quiet voice.
Amy sighed. "Come in, Peach..." She said, her tone of voide very depressed,
Peach nodded, closing the door behind her and taking a seat down next to Amy. "Amy...I know it's been tough for you, but..." She started to sob, "Mario's been knocked unconcious, and now he's in a coma..."
Amy hugged Peach tightly. "Oh Peach... At least you still have someone to love and care about..."
Peach hugged Amy back. "Thanks, Amy...it must be tough for you to still struggle after what's been happening, lately." She said, worriedly.
Amy sniffed and nodded. "Thought I'm not making myself any better by holding grudges...and sabotaging Sonic's car out of spite..."
Peach sobbed, feeling bad for how Amy had to be put up with. "Oh, Amy..." She hugged Amy tightly, "I wish I could do something for you..."
Upstairs in Master Hand's office, the two hands and Taj were starting to get concerned...
"We have to find a city racecourse, and fast." Master Hand explained to Crazy Hand and Taj, "We can't keep any of the racers tearing each other apart anymore." He turned to Taj. "Have you found any cities suitable for racecourses?"
Taj sighed. "Well, I HAVE found one city..." He said.
"Yes...go on," Master Hand asked Taj, "Is it anywhere in Dinosaur Land?"
"Yes it is, in fact." Taj said. "It's called Turbo Traffic City...and it's on and in... Pteradactyl Mountain."
"Turbo Traffic City...on and in Pteradactyl Mountain..." Master Hand started pondering. "Hmmm...it seems perfect enough, since it's the only city in the Pterydactyl Plains that's actually on the ground and not sky-rising cliffs." He applauded, "An excellent choice, Taj!" He turned to Crazy Hand. "All right, Crazy Hand, what has your study proven?"
"Well..." Crazy Hand began, "I'm not too sure about Turbo Traffic City, but I heard that Pteradactyl Mountain is cursed."
"Cursed?" Both Master Hand and Taj asked.
Crazy Hand nodded, continuing on, "It's said that if any verbal or physical fights between friends and lovers erupt on Pteradactyl Mountain, or if they feel ill will towards one another while in the city or on the mountain, terrible fates will befall them."
Master Hand shuddered a bit. "Uhghg...I wouldn't want to think that."
Up above the Hands' busy office, Luigi sat on his bed, looking at a pic of him and Mario with a sad and regretful look. "Mario..." A tear slid down his cheek. "I'm sorry..."
A Chansey entered the room, a frown on her face. "Luigi...we are sorry to say this, but..." She took off her nurse hat. "Mario didn't make it..."
Luigi was horrified. "N-No... No... What have I done..." He was almost speechless.
The Chansey frowned. "Err...Luig, are you all right?" She asked, getting worried.
Luigi ran out of the room. "Mario!!! I'm sorry!!!" He screamed in sorrow.
Ganondorf woke up, hearing Luigi's cries. "Huh?" He looked around. "What the heck is that screaming?"
"I'm a murderer!!!! Mario!!! I'm sorry!!!!" Luigi cried out as he ran out of the hotel.
Everyone woke up and gasped in horror. "MARIO'S DEAD!?" They all screamed.
Master Hand grimaced. "Great...now Super Smash Brothers IS finished..." He looked down. "Mario, our greatest hero, is gone..."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Yoshi and Peach cried, as they started to cry uncontrollably upon hearing Mario being dead.
Ganondorf couldn't believe it. "Bowser...your greatest enemy...is gone..."
Bowser felt like a part of him had just died. "No...Mario...my greatest enemy..." He fell on his knees, and cried, "WHY, GOD, WHY!?"
But little did everyone know... Mario was alive and well...and alone with his thoughts on a hill, thinking about the recent events that had transpired.
"Luigi..." That one blow in the head had literally smacked some sense into Mario and allowed him to take a good look at himself and everything that was going on.
