Akira was floating in a dark empty Void. He could feel it was cold in here, and yet somehow in his heart, he could feel, that the place has more than it seems.

He started to look around but couldn't see anything interesting, but was having new thoughts already...How did he get even here? The last thing he remembers was that He and his friends were trying to ask some of the Fighters of their Opinions of the effects of the smash ball.

Akira began to thoughtfully put his fingers under his chin. "Did I got kidnapped somehow?" he Thought puzzled "Knock out? Or I am just asleep... Dru-" He stopped at the last word. That Idea was a bit too extreme, and the memories of that 'Something' are still unpleasant to this day...Damn Adults.

"Ne..." Akira's ears twitched as he heard a faint voice in the distance calling.

Who was that voice? where was it coming from? and was it friendly?

Before Akria could ask back the voice replied with a louder tone "Necrozma! wh... are you?... I am searching for you so..."

The situation was getting confusing with each passing second. The Voice was searching for Necrozma...but why? Akira wonders, heck! He still doesn't know who the Necrozma is that Mario has Mention yesterday! He also wonders why the Voice was searching Necrozma. Was it because of a foeship? Hatred? or stalker-like?

Then out of a sudden, a scream pierced through the Void, and Akira's body felt cold, Akira began to feel the sweat on his forehead.

Deep inside his heart, he knew that someone needed help, and he will bring that help. He started to yell.

"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU? I AM HERE!" he began to wait for a response of any kind, but only the soundless Void has answered back.

His face began to grimace, he took a deep breath for another yell, but he heard suddenly a sound like the flapping of wings, and then a chiming sound.

Akira felt uncomfortable, because he had a not good history with things that have white wings, and a bell that is company them, but he also feels anger bowling in his heart. From whatever those sounds came from they've got someone who was screamed for help, and they will pay for it.

For that, he is a Phantom thief of heart.

He started to float in the direction in this void, not wondering why he can.

But as soon he flew some time, he suddenly felt a painful feeling across his face.

As he woke up in his bed, his eyes darted confused around his room.

He saw that some of his little things were placed on a shelf. Wich were some figures he had bought on some markets from two years ago, Books that have Thief romance stories in them.

He looked at his blanket, plain white like sno- Ow!

Akira feels a bruise on his face, which brings him out of bed to go into the bathroom.

As soon he started into the Mirror he notices the blue speck right on his nose.

He started to wonder how in the world he got that. It wasn't surely from the fight against Yusha, Banjo and Kazooie, The Plant, and Terry.

Akira tried to remember how he could've hit his nose so hard, but his surprise he couldn't remember a single thing from yesterday. In fact, the Only thing he remembers is that they wanted to ask some of the fighters about the different effects of the smash-ball.

He let out a sigh before washing his face and go tiredly out of his room.

As he took his breakfast, some french toast with raspberries and Coffee. He sat down at a table where Sojiro was sitting.

"Moring." The man coughed while sipping from his cup of coffee while his plate has been already eaten, Akira could not truly tell what Sojiro ate, since his Plate was Clean.

"Good Morning." Said Akira, as he begins to cut some piece of his french toast. Then the piece of toast quickly vanished in his mouth.

"The Fights yesterday were exciting weren't they?" Sojiro asked, with a chuckle. "Your friends have talked about the chaotic nature of those for Hours. Ho boy, It was almost like a debate. I guess Life is still full of surprises."

"Yes, that's for sure." Akira said bluntly as he take another Piece of his food. "Yesterday was crazy, I am actually wondering of what is coming next."

Sojiro took another sip from his coffee, as Akira suddenly feel colder.

He blinked in a mixture of surprise and Confusion and looked behind him.

Only to see how Mario and Luigi were sitting at their Tables close to the window.

Akira let out a sigh, the cold may just coming from the window which he assumes that one of the two had Open it to Letting the fresh air in.

He notices that Luigi was Holding a phone, while he and Mario were Looking at it.

"Questo aiuta?" Luigi asked In Italian. while pointing with his finger on the screen.

Mario just shook his head and slightly rubbed his eyes tired. As Mario took a sip from his mug of presumably coffee.

Luigi let out a sigh "Geez, bro...when did you sleep this time? one or two in the morning?"

Mario opens his mouth painfully slow, as Akira starts to feel worried for the red plumber.

"so..." Mario yawned " Half-past two..."

Luigi's and Akira's eyes shot up by surprise.

"Che cosa?" Luigi whispers in shock "Mario! That's too late! What have you been doing this late?! You know you have to be fit for the tournament, I mean...it's so ironic, you've said the other fighters to sleep responsible, and then you just don't." Luigi tried his best not to yell too loud, while Mario blinked slowy.

"It's about Necrozma..." Mario said tiredly " He had a nightmare, and I tried to calm him down..."

Luigi's eyes grew smaller as heard the Name, while Akira's ears sharpened.

"Oh..." Luigi sat there for a moment collecting his thoughts "Must have been really bad."

"Yes it sure was, he was waving around his legs and arms like he was being held by arms, ropes, or something else. He was screaming in fear, probably an after effect of you know what, and I've tried my best to wake him up, and calm him down. Wich, if I recall took half an hour, and then two hours to make absolutely sure he can peacefully sleep..." Mario exhaled a loud pained sigh. "...I have the feeling his mental and emotional health is getting worse... I don't know if we could help him at all." Mario said pained. "But I am still happy..." He said more confident as he drank the last sip of the coffee.

He stretches his arms in the air, and smiled "So let's how the day would be!" Mario started to walk away from his baffled brother but turned around in the middle of his way. "Oh! Did you check the Janitor closet? In case we have to order some products."

"Wha-?" Luigi spoke puzzled as heard that, after a while, he seemed to collect his thoughts. " Yes, I did. We should have everything in case we have an Infection."

Now Mario blinked confused "Inffectio-Oh, Oops! My bad! I totally forgot that no building is safe from critters and Mold!"

He and his brother began to laugh, as both departed out of the dining hall.

Akira turned around and continued to eat his french toast.

He started to think about the new Insights he has about those two, and Necrozma.

So, Necrozma seems to have some intense Nightmares, and it may have come from a traumatic experience. About Mario and Luigi...er...there wasn't much.

He finished his toast as stood up from his table to get ready for the next battle. Not soo long as he got almost out of the dining hall Futaba almost run into him.

"Good Morning!" she said while Jumping up and down " Did you Saved in your bed?"

"Yes, Save was complete!" Akira replied back. They often have the thing between each other that they sometimes use Video game mechanics references in some of their talks."

"So what is the next big quest?"

"Oh, I know! You must prepare for your next fight!" Said Futtaba cheeky as he raised a finger up. "But winning is Optional, which may bring some nice goodies if you do that!"

"Sidequest accepted!" Akira shouted determined and progressed with Futaba on his side out of the dining hall.

...It turns out that the Sidequest may be harder than the main quest. As Akira dodged a thrown sawblade barely that came from Megaman.

The sawblade flew through the air with a buzzing sound that was soon halted by a stone wall that it wedged itself in.

Mega-man arm canon started to charge up as Akira pulled out his gun and immediately fired.

The bullet hit the opening of the arm cannon, which started sparks and caused to fail the arm canon.

While Megan-man groaned annoyed, Akira quickly run towards him and stabs him with his Knife in robotic armor. Which catapults the blue bomber against a stone wall, and somehow he bounces off of it and flew upwards.

Akira jumps after him, and he quickly dodged a fired arrow of Toon-link by an inch.

He saw just how the Arrow vanished into a white cloud from the 'Hyrule Temple'Stage.

Toon-link's eyes narrowed by the realization that his arrow missed Akira, and pulled out a bomb and Ignites it.

He started to move his arm backward, but Akira notices that a figure in grey hair was sneaking behind the unsuspecting toon-hero.

"Arcfire!" yelled a male voice.

Over the Figure's head, and it the roaring flames flow of their Position and hit with full force into Toon-link's head, as he screamed by the Burn. Before Akira could react, the figure pulled out a jagged sword, which reminds Akira of a thunderbolt, and strikes Toon-Link away.

The toonic-hero got smacked on the wall, as he turned into a trophy.

The Figure stood with a cheeky grin "So?" He slowly began with an uncomfortable curiosity "Let's see how good your decisions making is. incidentally, My name is Robin Nartaska." Robin said manner full, as he jumps up in the air as Akira fired Eiha on Robin. "Interesting spell...I wonder where Maga-man is."

Robin examined the area while he started to fall down from his high jump, and to his slight annoyance, he couldn't find him, which either means he fall of the stage or he hiding under some of the stone platforms.

He landed on the ground and realized that Akira was gone, Robin's ears tensed up as he tried to- "There you are!" He twisted around and gripped Megan-man, "I knew you would try to sneak at me."

Without any hesitation, he pummeled Megan-man with his sword as the Blue bomber's face flinched by the sharp sword, and with a bright white light, Megan-man turned also in a trophy.

Now there's only one left...

Robin started to walk around, examining any spots where Akira may be hiding.

He looked towards the pillars, he can't be hiding there. Too simple, but in his mind Robin knows that he should keep those pillars in the back of his head.

He arrived a hole to the ground which to his knowledge leads to the under part of the stage. with a slight nod he walked down the path and pulled out a tome of his coat, ready for a spell that he will shoot at Akira if he manages to surprise him.

Robin had reached the under part of the stage, whose part was hovering over a sea out of clouds flying around like sheep on a meadow eating grass. Even tho the scenery was beautiful and Robin wished to look at it with lost thoughts, he can't he was still in the match.

Robin looked up to see a broken platform, which he presumes was the spot where Akira trew Megan-man upwards.

"Could he be hiding there?" Robin thought with his experiences of the battles he lived. "No...I don't think so...That would bring him to a disadvantage. Since if he would pull out his...strange bow, I would dodge it... which means" Robin turned around and faces another pathway that leads down " If my Mind is not wrong, he is hiding definitive there." He quickly dashes for just in time to dodge a fired bullet from Akira who was standing on a hidden Platform.

"What?!" Akira screamed bewildered of how Robin saw it coming.

Robin smirked at Akira confused look in his eyes as his hands glowed in a mixture of yellow and Blue "Elthunder!" a ball of electricity flew to Akira, who dodged in time, but was greeted by Robin sword in the gut.

Akira yelped while Robin's mind felt overjoyed.

Both land on the ground and Akira swiftly pulled out his knife and tried to stab him, which Robin blocked with his sword. Then Akira followed with a kick which Robin stobbed with his left hand, and Robin used the grip of his sword to hit Akira's neck.

Wich causes Akira to let go of his knife, as Robin tossed him down the stage.

"ROBIN WINS!" Master hand yelled as Robin got teleported away.

Robin steps beside Akira who was speechless of how Robin just outwitted him. "H-How did you do that?" He asked with a puzzled voice.

Robin smirked"By being three steps ahead of you!" he said while touching with his finger on his forehead "But enough with the pride, I can give you advice in regard to thinking ahead if you want to of course."

Akira nodded his head in agreement.

"So." Robin slowly began " The way I do is that I never allow my emotions to cloud my mind, which I mean that I don't hate them, but I am rather Logical in such fights. and ignoring a bit of my inner self, since I rather focus on the many choices that you didn't even saw. But I have to say my way of fighting is not the best one."Robin paused to let Akira's mind digest the information before he continued. "There were times that I've seen so many options that I just froze on the spot midst of battles. Sometimes I could snap out of it or my friends screamed at me, which always works to unfreeze me." Robin paused again as he realized that he went off-topic.

He moved his mouth again, as he noticed the strange look on Akira's eyes looking past him.

Robin turned his head around as he saw a familiar dark creature. "Oh, that must be Necrozma." Robin said with a slight nod of his head "I've never quite talked to him directly, it has to do with the fact that, He's not 'viewable' as I might want. If you understand what I am saying. I am now a bit excited to interact with him now!"

Robin said as he grabbed Akira's hand like he was a child, and Akira follows him although unwilling.

Necrozma floats around almost in an aimless manner as he mumblings something under his breath. "...Burden...I am such...Mario and Ash are too kind to wast-"

"Greetings Necrozma!" Robin said while startling Necrozma " My Name is Robin!"

Necrozma awkwardly waved back, as he noticed that Akira was starring at him to which Akira reacts. "My Name is Akira Kurusu, how are you doing?"

Robin notices that Necrozma's 'eyes' glowed strangely, and his left hand started to twitch "Is something the matter?"

Necrozma was startled as he seemed to regain his thoughts "N-No..." Necrozma quietly said as if he was a small puppy that he was too scared. " I-I am fine."

"I think you are not." Akira points out " Your Hands are shaking. Clearly, something is off, come on we aren't going to hurt you." Akira began to move closer, only stopped by Robin who hold out his arms in front of the Thief.

"Wait." Robin said with a focused voice "He seems to blame himself."

Akira lift his eye confused. "What?" and he notices that Necrozma's left hand began to twitch more.

The black prism was shaking like leaves in the wind. Before he whispers some words that Robin and Akira didn't understand.

"Did we catch him at a bad time?" Robin asked Akira to which the thief nodded.

"I think so too, we should find Mario." Akira suggested.

As soon they started to turn around a colorful Laser flew beside them and burned a vase that stood closeby, with a quick motion they'd faced Necrozma who held his shaky claw

"W-What do you want from M-Mario?" the prism said with short breaths as Robina and Akira looked at him worried "A-Are you trying to hurt h-h-him?"

Akira looked at Robin confused before he started to walk towards Necrozma.

Robin stretched his hand out.

"Calm down." Akira tried to calm Necrozma down "We're trying to get him to he-" the phantom thief was grabbed by the body and with a strong motion pinned on the wall on the right.

"LIAR!" Necrozma shouted in fury, as Robin's Mind tries to analyze the situation.
"You're trying to find him and will use him to pressure me! I will not let you touch him! I..."

Necrozma pauses for a moment before his face glowed up menacingly red.

Robin started there completely frozen, in his head were swarming thoughts around like flies. "I must do something!" He thought in a frenzy " Or otherwise Akira might get hurt! By the Gods! I should rather look for Mario!" He looked away from the wall and saw to his Suprise...

He saw Necrozma and Akira laying on the floor while Kirby stood beside them, while they are having some turquoise outline. Robin's mind felt confused as he looked further to left.

He saw Akira again but this time Necrozma had smashed him through a window. "what is going on?!" Robin thought in panic as he turned his head to the right wall again.

To his confusion, he saw still that Necrozma was pinching Akira against the wall, while Necrozma's face glowed redder and redder.

"I must do something!" he looked around the room to see an opportunity to save Akira and Ignoring the other 'versions of them. "I can't look after Mario, gods know where he is right now, I also can't let my focus dwindle on those 'visons'!"

As soon he had finished his thought, he felt a tug on his Mind. He turned around and saw himself, with the same outline, that has picked up a Vase in hand, and was seemingly about to throw at Necrozma.

Robin could feel how his confusion lowers, his mind opens and began to look better around, there were other versions of himself doing different things.

"Could it be..." his mind almost exploded by the sudden realization about the phenom he is witnessing. "Am I seeing the projections of possible choices and possible outcomes?! B-But when did I gain this Power?" He shakes his head viciously "NO! I can think about this later! I must pick one of those choices!"

Robin darted forward and grabbed the Vase, causing the 'Visons' to disappear, and hurled it at Necrozma. Who let go of Akira as soon the Vase shattered.

Necrozma was in the midst of charging up a dash attack, as a familiar voice screamed worried "NECROZMA!".

Robin and Necrozma looked in the Direction of Mario whose eyes had widened in Horror. "Mario..." Necrozma said in a guilty tone, while his body shake like an earthquake...

Then with a quick dash, the prism flew away. Robin could faintly hear the words " Forgive me!"

Mario helped up Akira with a pained sigh, "You Okay?"

"I had rougher 'first impressions' I'm my life." Akira jokingly said, " I am all good."

The Thief smirked that soon vanished as he Noticed Mario's expression. " you're okay?"

Mario took some time to give him an answer " I am good...but I am more worried about Necrozma..." Mario said while scratching his glove. "...I hope he's fine." He said and runs the way Necrozma took.

Robin still in awe of what just had occurred was being approached by Akira "So uh..." he stumbles as was still in surprise " I...I am really helpful for the help. But, for a very logical person, you were rather looking confused around. It's not a critic or something like that, I am just wondering."

Robin nodded with his head, "Yes, because something truly odd had just happened to me." Akira's eyes widen "So in a sense, I've seen 'Visons' of different outcomes from you, Necrozma, and myself as if they were a Mirage. I don't know when and why I did gain those powers." Robin ended his discovery.

Akira moved his head " Can you control it?" he asks the tactician.

"I think not, but we should at least try," Robin said, and with that, his Mind tensed up and...

Nothing happens "It seems not to be that case, but what is the trigger then?" Robin turned around to Akira.

"I dunno! But I am actually more worried about Necrozma and Mario, It seems whatever Necrozma's problem is..." Akira pauses "Is too big, that Mario could solve alone..."

Luigi Fired a green fireball out of his hand, which was making loops. But was extinguished by Richter's chain whip. The blue priest followed up with his blue-cross that was thrown like a boomerang hitting hard on Luigi's huge Nose.

The green plumber yelped, as he was sent flying while Rubbing his nose.

He landed on the red carpet and slithered against a wooden support pillar in front of the nursery, with his head, that lucky to him didn't break.

He quickly jumps but was only greeted with a sharp pain in his head. He stumbles as he mumbled something in Italian.

Luigi shooked slightly annoyed his head, as he regained his Focus, he saw to his horror, of how Richter was running towards him, with a scream Luigi jumps to the side into the baby crib, and Richter runs past him.

He fell off the stage, and tried to jump back, but unlucky for him a fighter on the rooftop threw a beam sword, hitting with full force causing Richter to be sent into the dark void under him.

Luigi who slowly stood up from the crip started to chuckle a bit "My Luck is odd."

He runs out of the Nursery and Jumps on the Rooftop.

Luigi saw the Ice climbers fighting Heinz and Mara.

From Nana's Leather Mitten, a shot of snowy Ice dust came forth, to which Mara responded by carrying Heinz into the air, dodging the dust which froze some parts of the rooftop.

"OI!" shouted Popo in blue parka while swingy his wooden mallet "Luigi! Didn't see you there! Nana, I'll take care of him!" with a nod of Nana who soon after jumps to hit the duo with her own mallet. Popo walked forth to Luigi "It's Time to get frosty."

Popo's hand glowed in icy blue, and a small chunk of ice appeared, he use his hammer to swing like a golf club.

The chunk of ice slid quickly, and Luigi jumps into the air without a thought. He was soon greeted by Popo who jumped into the air and swung his mallet into Luigi, who tried to block with his arm, but failed as the mallet hit his face.

The green plumber landed with a swift motion on the ground. "Ouch!" He quietly said, and Popo's face, a mischievous grin formed.

With rising up of the malle- Luigi countered it with a quick uppercut.

Popo flew backward on his back, Luigi wanted to grin that his fist manage to hit his target. His smile vanishes as he realized something...

He tries to remember...Popo Rosed his hammer, and he counted with an uppercut. "Wait a minute..." He muttered to himself, as he gasps at the realization " some seconds are missing... something is wrong."

Before Luigi could think about it more, Popo stand up from his back only then get hit by a rusty can on his head. Luigi shamelessly exploited that distraction, by plunging himself towards Popo as if he were a battering ram and slammed his entire body into Popo, who landed into Nana who had slowly fallen down after freezing the Duo.

"OW!" yelped Nanna as she rubbed her back, as Popo moaned in agony "That hit like an iceberg. You Okay, Popo?"

Popo weakly holds out his hand with a playful grin "All alright like Dry Ice..."

Nana grabs his hand and pulled him up.

To Luigi, the scenery would have been romantic...if it wasn't the frozen Heinz and Mara behind them...

"So let's focus on Luigi, right?" suggested Nanna, and with a nod, the freezing Duo runs towards him.

Luigi tried to dodging the freezing ability from both, while also looking out for their mallets.

He dodged quickly the mallet of Nana but was soon punched from Popo in his gut, then what follows a sharp cold pain as he got flung away.

He falls on his back and notices that his left arm was frozen..."Tough Luck as usual..." Luigi sighed annoyed.

He didn't even know if he has somehow given himself misfortune or not, like with Richter he gave himself fortune and misfortune to Richter.

He saw how Popo and Nanna were approaching him, he wished inside that his brother was with him... which is kinda funny. He always wants to give himself the same amount of attention as his brother, but can't bring himself about to be over his brother, since he also doesn't want to give Mario his unimportance. But also Mario is giving him a shadow that he was Trapped himself.

Luigi chuckles bitterly, but in a way that the Marching duo doesn't hear.

Their brotherhood is such a hard puzzle, Mario is surrounded by the limelight that he is unknowingly giving Luigi a shadow that he wants to escape. Luigi remembered that time, were Mario stepped on his shoe, at the Time Mario was just Joking around, but everyone fought that he secretly hates Luigi. which wasn't of course true, but at the time Luigi has played with a lack of morals, to exploit the situation and finally give himself that previous Limelight for once...but he couldn't do it back then. After a week he actively protected Mario's fame selflessly without any second thought.

Even after multiple opportunities to give himself Light, Luigi always gave the light to Mario and gave himself obscurity instead of him.

With a defeated grin, let himself get hurled by the mallets of both mountaineers, and was sent flying to the abyss. Before the dark swallowed his view, the frozen duck and dog freed themselves.

Luigi walked out of the door, as behind him on the screen was showing the two duo's brawling out.

But he wasn't in the mood to watch it anyway... He felt like he should look after his Daisy and ghostly dog, of which he still didn't have a name.

He turned around and saw the dent in the wall and the pile of Ash "Mama mia!" Luigi yelped out surprised "What happened here?".

He could feel his heart pump up by the unknown cause.

Great just great! He was having a small crisis and now this! The floor was dirty and the wall damaged, UGH!

He calmed down quickly. Even tho he hated the sight there must be a reason of what happe-

"Oh snap!" Luigi exclaimed shocked "That must've been Necrozma! Mamma Mia, I hope Mario is alright!" That being said, Luigi quickly darted into the corridor.

Some minutes later after he left the staircase, he saw Akira and Robin vanishing into a corner.

Which, of course, he would follow them they may know were both Necrozma and Mario had left.

He catches them up. "Robin! Akira!" He yelped wich both of them stop in their own way of running.

"Luigi?" Robin asked concerned as he looked at him " You are here too?"

"Yes!" he said while breathing rather quickly " Do you two see where Mario and Necrozma left?"

The thief of has remained still in the Moment spoke up " Yes!" he said while pointing at the very end of the hall, where Luigi could see of How Mario entered a Door. " They run over there!"

Without any word all three started running as they reach the door, they could hear the screaming of Necrozma while also at the same Time Peach came out of her room with a very worried look on her face.

"Oh my!" She gasped shocked, she turned around her head to look at the green plumber in the face "Luigi, what is happening now?"

"Necrozma is having a panic attack or something like that!" Luigi shouted while almost tripping over his own legs " stay in your roo-" he stopped as he shakes his head "No! Go and find Ash! He might know what to do!"

Peach blinked surprised, but nodded quickly, and vanished in a race to find the Pokémon master.

They entered the room and saw Necrozma clawing his hands on the wall while Mario tried to pull his arms away.

Luigi without any hesitation run over to Necrozma and focused on the left arm.

"I DON'T DESERVE MERCY!" Necrozma screamed blood-curled " END ME!"

Robin and Akira just stood with their faces full of horror.

No matter what they experienced in their lives, that was something none of them have ever witnessed.

Luigi tried his best to pull back the left arm of Necrozma from the wall, while the screams echoed in his ears like a siren in the middle of the Night.

He was afraid...even more afraid than usual when he is hunting ghosts or fighting the big bad with his bro, but he also felt brave as he was helping a being capable of destroying cities like they were Fire Matches.

He could hear quick footsteps, and let out a sigh of relief, as Ash entered the Room.

Ash's expression was worried, but Luigi could see how quickly it hardened.

"Necrozma!" he shouted loudly, and Necrozma stops for a moment...

to only scream again "NO! I DON'-" he choked on his words, as his body started to shake.

" What is the matter?" Ash went silent to choose the next words. "I've noticed that you seem to be very clingy on Mario, is that true?"

Akira looks surprised by the fact that Ash shamelessly asked Necrozma, while he was such in a condition! The nerve!

Necrozma stopped shaking and replied with a short "I..." before seemingly stopping shaking like Ash had pushed a button. "I do... I deserve to be punished, Master Mario"

Everyone in the room eyes widens, including Peach who'd entered the room

"M-Master Mario? What do you mean by that?" Mario asked horrified, as Peach Look at him.

Necrozma let out a pained sigh. " As a token for sparing my life, I was trying to protect you...but I was wrong about those two, I've attacked innocent people again...I'll await my punishment." His Tone shifted from fear to cold tone, in awaiting his Punishment.

Mario's face turned slightly red.

"O-oh..." he cleared his throat "Necrozma you didn't do anything wrong...and secondly you're not my slave." He said the last word in sympathy while reaching his hand to touch Necrozma's head, and slowly stroking it "You're my friend, and friends shouldn't be slaves to each other."

"Yes, he is right!" Ash said while Holding his fist up in the air " I am a Trainer but It doesn't mean that I would Treat my Pokemon as a Tool!" He came closer and put his right Hand on Necrozma's back " They are Family!"

Luigi shakes his head nervously up and down like a bouncing ball, "Y-Yeah! you are a friend to the Family, more likely! C'mon Necrozma! Friends are there to support each other!" He Let go of his left hand and Jumps down from the bed. He pointed his finger at Robin and Akira with a bright grin " I'm sure both of them, can show you that!"

Akira coughed awkwardly, while Robin looked away embarrassed.

Without waiting for an answer, Ash pulled Necrozma and Akira's arms, and he quickly vanishes with a confused Necrozma out of the room.

"H-Hey!" yelped the Thief horrified " I didn't sign up for a date!"

"I will show Necrozma my Pokemon! This will change his view of bonds for the better!" Ash started to run away with the two behind him. while Necrozma seems to stutter utter confused.

Robin sighed and also went after the trio, Princess Peach chuckles heartfully.

"Mamma Mia..." Mario shook his head by change of the events "This is going to be a long day..." He turned to Luigi and started to smile a bit " Thanks for the help,bro."

Luigi blinked surprised.

"You don't have to thank me." Luigi kneaded his fingers nervously " I was at the right moment there."

"More like 'Lucky'?" Mario began to snicker. "You've been a real 'charm' lately! "

while Luigi let out a played laughter. "Haha! Very funny, you snot!" He spat back playfully. "I'm going get to find my good doggy and play with him for a while. If I can."

Mario smiled back at him "Sure thing! I think we can handle this now! Say hello to your ghostly dog!"

With a happy jump Luigi goes his way to find his dog, he waved Mario and Peach goodbye.

Wario grunts were annoyed as he took damage on his mobile game, which was about rolling the dice to deal out some damage...In that regard, It either gives him destructive critical hits or it backfires so horrendously that it made Wario almost ragequit.

"Come on!" Wario growled, as his Thief character was throwing a orange dice against some insane deer with a white beared man sitting on it, and having a large line of salvia dropping out of his mouth. "Give daddy a high roll!"

The figure trow the dice...and the number was just a miserable one.

He let out a scream of rage as his figure pulled out a horrible textured dagger, that look like a five-year-old kid just slapped the pixels on it.

The figure slipped over his own feet, and stabs with the dagger in his throat, and then dies like a joke.

A sad and bad composing music started to play as the red letters appears...and a damn ad started to play.

That was it! He decided to close the app.

The app closes. Wario bit almost in his lips as he saw that cheap smile on the app.

Not knowing what he should do now on his phone, he just looked at the apps and noticed the app from yesterday.

He wondered what would happen if he just activated the app. will the unknown user get mad that he is playing with the thing- eh, nothing was stopping him anyways, and when something curious was in his view, he was going to do it.

He lets a small fart as he pushed his finger against the app.

It showed the thing of yesterday, the same strange circle.

He rose his eyebrow of wondering why he just did that like no one is there on i-

"Will report to you later, friend." said a voice from a bright screen that soon closes as the words were spoken.

"Take car-" stopped a familiar voice from a darkened screen "What are you doing?"

Wario was a moment speechless before regaining his Voice " I didn't know you had friends." he said almost angered by the fact the unknown sender didn't tell them about it."Why didn't you say that?"

"Because I was about to do it today until you've got Lucky enough to pop here in." the Voice said unfazed but Wario caught up that it had a hint of puzzlement.

"But I must say...things are looking good for us." The voice said proudly "Today I have a task for you, but you have to wait for others to enter the session." and with that, the screen turned off.

"A task for myself? The great Wario?" he thought confused and surprised by it, but he shakes his head " Focus stupid! He must have a very important task for me if he needs my greatness and muscles!" he started to laugh.

Familiar screens from the last day showed up with Bowser who seemed to be annoyed "What is it this time? I am a bit Tired after a battle with beating Lucas..."

"Woah! you seem to be the first one, Wario." Wolf said bluntly, on his screen he had casually put both his boots on a desk while leaning deeply in his chair.

Ridley seems to smile a bit but vanished quickly, and Krool was smugly grinning at Bowser, who has trouble keeping his eyes open.

The dark screen showed up again, "Greetings." The Voice greeted them, while Wario could feel, even if the screen was pitch black, the one who the voice belongs to was starring at him "yesterday, you've succeeded bringing the target to the church and it was picked up safely, and is in this very moment under watchful eyes." There was a short pause before it continues " Today we're will be sending Wolf and Wario into the vents to enter a room and also overhearing some conversations."

Wario's eyes widen, firstly that he goes with Wolf, not alone, and secondly the vent itself.

"What." Wolf darted out of his position as he said the word in more of a response than a question " You want me to go with this...uh muscled man into the vents? and overhear what some of the fighters say. Then to go into a room and do what? Flip a switch?"

"Exactly, Wolf." The Voice said "You've guessed the required action in that room, and for the first question, Trust me. "It said in a mysterious tone " Wario could easily make it successfully of the stolen Knowledge and today's goal or he's going to wreck completely and shoot it down from the sky. I have high trust in him, and for the rest..." It Pauses as it seems to think. " You should take care that no one interrupts them in their vent tour. Could lower the risk."

The voice paused again and seemed to be finished, but with a quick gasp of annoyment. "I've forgotten to mention that a friend of mine is the one keeping a watchful eye on the thing your armies found." and with that, the screen turned away.

Wario breathes puzzled before Bowser tunes in "uh...and where is the vent?"

"It's my bathroom." Said Wario bluntly which Wolf reacts.

"So you're telling that the guy somehow knows that you have the entrance to the vents is in your bathroom?" He asked puzzled "and let's not forget the fact what he did just said! Like why are we two supposed to find some room with a switch in it?"

Wario blinks shocked but before he could answer The space pirate interrupts them " So which poor fucker is going to keep an eye out in the Kitchen, and the dining hall? Then so far I recall of humans fucking layout, one of the vent shafts must lead into direction two those rooms, which assume the target room must be in that direction." Ridley ordered and multiple screens turned off.

After a while w sitting on his bed and staring out of the window, a knock was heard from Wario's door.

While scratching his butt he opened the door to almost bump into Wolf who just walked in.

"Do you have something to open up the vent?"

Wario goes to his bed and pulled out a toolbox, with a screeching sound it was open and several tools shined against his face.

The treasure hunter grinned as he picked up a screwdriver. "Let's go into the bathroom, let's see if I got lucky enough to have stolen that baby just right before the tournament!"

They entered the bathroom, and Wario immediately used the screwdriver on the vent near the shower.

After a while, the last screw falls onto the ground and Wario lifts up the lid away.

"So..."Wario began to grin "Who goes first?

Wolf grunts as he goes into the vent " Me, because I don't want to smell your fart..."

Wario just shrugged as he followed wolf into the vent.

To the surprise of both of them, the vent was wider than they fought, and they started to crawl.

Their movement echoed weakly against the metal surfaces.

After a while of awkward silence, Wario decides to break with some complaints " What is the sender doing to us?" Wolf rolled his eyes " I mean does he see us as trash? aren't we worthy en-"

"Zip it!" Wolf spat " I don't want to hear worth destroying words right now! I don't plan on being depressed!"

Wario was now the one who rolled his eyes "Okay, loser."

Some moments later, that felt like hours they heard some voices, which points to the fact that they are getting closer to the dining hall.

They've reached a shaft grille.

Wolf turned around and ordered Wario to be quiet and began eavesdropping.

"And that's the story of Greninja and me saved the World." finished Ash with a hearable grin.

"That must be feeling great...to protect," A voice said with guilt.

"That wasn't the point, Necrozma." said Ash sounded slightly annoyed "This was supposed to give you Insight about bonds! I mean if I didn't had those bonds, the World would've been destroyed."

Wario cringes at the Idea of bonds, but he heard Mario yawn before he could say something. "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to your story but I am a bit tired...well, mostly, because I've gone to bed a tad bit too late."

"Mario. " Peach sounded surprised " Dinner is almost done! should we go to the counter?"

Wario could hear a slight "HMMM" from Mario " Okay! Ash and Necrozma food is finished!"

Wolf gnarls "We have to move! or we going to lose them!" he said while starting to crawl faster, while Wario's stomach makes loud thumps.

"M-Mario do you hear this?" Luigi spoke nervously, even those they couldn't see his face. Wario knew that Mario was rolling his eyes.

"Calm down, Luigi. It's probably the wind blowing against some dents." he sounded slightly annoyed, to which Wario grins but soon vanished into shock. " I'll look at this after I'm done with eating."

Wario looked at Wolf, who pulled out a device and started talking. " Mario's going to search the vents after he's done eating! Everyone out there must do something to prolong his Dinner, and/or prevent him to check the vents!" with a swift Motion the device vanished into his pocket, and Wario didn't realize that he had one.

"wait..." Wario slowly speaks as made another thump " It's dinner already? The sky was blue jus-"

Wolf snarled " will you shut up!? and I have already answer, of how it is dinner already! You are wasting time by playing too long Video games! Now zip it or I am going stuff your Mouth with my pistol, clear?!"

Wario nodded with his face quickly, Wolf grinned "Good."

"What's on the Menu?" Sonic spoke through the vent shaft.

"We have..." another feminine voice spoke up " Hey, Albert! What's on the menu again?"

"Let's see..." a high voice of a male sounded muffled " Chili dogs, for the usually Fighter of course. Pumpkin soup with different kinds of bread...and what? The noodles are kinda too woobly?" Both of the fighters in the vent could hear a frustrated scream " How can you fail this hard? what else do we have? Fruit salad? Didn't we serve that at lunch? That's all we have right now!"

" Then I take the chili dogs!"

"and what do you want Mario?" asked the female voice.

" So...I" Mario began " Should we take some Pumpkin soup with Fruit salad?"

"Yes sounds, good!" Peach let out a heartwarming giggle.

"Coming right up!"

Wario and Wolf could hear The voices more muffled as they drown under the thousand sounds of the Kitchen.

The smell of mentioned dishes and the Aroma of many bottles of Soap pocked him to the nose.

"Let's better hope Bowser doesn't get mad at distracting Mario..." Said Wolf annoyed, while Wario caught a hint of Worry.

Wario stopped in his movement, he thought about it too.

Bowser was one of those guys who will probably act not very calmy about seeing those two eat. He would honestly completely explode if things get very bad, and start a fight, and that Necrozma is also there.

He didn't really believe that the thing was a God once, but since Mario is constantly keeping an eye on him, like a stalker, there must be some proof in that statement, right?

Suddenly a bright Idea came into Wario's brilliant head.

He pulled out his phone, which Wolf hears " what are you doing?"

"Activating a connection. So we can hear what's happening in the dining hall since obviously, we can't hear a bang of a gun by those kitchen noises."

"Good Idea, that Guy is a bit idoti-"

Wario punched the side of the wall as Wolf shut his Mouth Immediately" Don't underestimate him! That Guy is actually very strong. The stuff he sometimes pulls off is kinda very frightful sometimes. The first Time he kidnapped the Princess was actually that she could undo his curse that turned the Toads into blocks!" Wario slightly shivers "I'm a treasure hunter that has fought some crazy people, but by Him, I really don't want to go on his nerves. Like if sometimes I have the feeling that his ambitions could go beyond of Peach, which he clearly Loves in an obsessive manner...we should really try to keep an eye on him." He quiets down and Wolf stares at him. "...That was a long speech, er...we should keep going I'm calling Ridley."

As they continued crawling, they came past another grid, but they could see the different cooks, they sprint across the floor like ants in their work, Wario opened the app, and Ridley almost immediately responded " Have you two reached the room?" the pirate asked a bit annoyed.

"No, but can you keep an eye on Bowser? If he is going to See Mario and Peach eat, he's going to flip, and I fear that may running the 'Misson'." Wario said the last word with sarcasm, while Hoping Ridley won't turn him down.

"Why the heck do you ask me this now?! I've done this already!"

"wait what?"

"I've just told him that his brat is bored so he goes. I can't understand his desire to tend to his offspring and not leave on his own. My species does that." and with that Ridley logs off.

"I must have a huge struck of luck right now...like how high were the chances that Ridley does something before I even wanted?" He wondered.

Then he heard a plate being broken, he look through the grid and notices one of the Mii's with blonde hair mumble at the accident.

What a strange coincidence...it's almost like the Mii just got robbed by his Fortune as they got past...it? Do Mii's have even a gende-why was he asking that in the first place?

They continued crawling and Wario's phone turned on, from which the dining hall sounds were heard.

"So? Did you Introduce Fludd to Necrozma?" Asked Peach.

"I didn't have the chance." Mario talked as he sounded annoyed. "There's those strange delays lately...some of the other guests are still not quite here, and Fludd is still by , he said that the Internet connection to Fludd needs to be renewed."

"An Internet connection?" Peach stumbled surprised as Wario Imagined her face "Since when did he have this?"

"Just recently, I've asked if he could do that, so I can stay in touch with him." Mario made a surprised tone "Oh? Ridley, what are you doing over there?"

The space dragon roared "That is none of your business, brat!"

"Okay, then we just ignore you." Mario pauses "Uh...Do you Like the food Peach?"

"It's Good." Peach Replied, "But It tastes more better with you."

"Aw, thank you..." Mario happily answered by the compliment that Wario almost wants to puke, suddenly Mario's tone changed as if its happy vibe was destroyed "Okay, what are you exactly doing here, Ridley? I don't see food on your table, and you're definitely ogling at us. What do you want?"

"Nothing just sitting around." he said jokingly "But what about your black friend? Is he truly good?"

Wario got startled as he heard a weak slam on the Table " Don't you dare to touch Necrozma!" Mario almost shouted at which Ridley's throat croaked.

"Heh. so you are in Love with him or is he your son, now? Then better watch, I am infamous of killing parents." he said with a cruel chuckle.

"You Little-" Mario got interrupted by something "Peach?" which Wario assumes was Holding Mario back.

"Just Ignore him!" she said softly "That's what he wants, making you upset...you're still exhausted, and very tired...Just give him nothing worth in your Time."

"Yes, you're right...Thank you, Peach." Wario could hear him sit back down. "The Pumking soup is really good, did I tell you that I really like Pumpkins?"

"No...I think that's the first time you mentioned it. You are full of secrets you know that, Mario?"

Mario chuckled warmly " I don't know if this is a compliment or an insult. Come let's finish this, or Luigi will have restless sleep tonight." He joked but Wario could hear his care about his brother hidden in that tone.

"Are we there yet? We are surely crawling for a while now." Wario asked, and Wolf snarled.

" I think so...The guy who sent us is confusing. Why is he sending us to this weird room? What's the point of that? What even is this room?" He said as soon stooped in his tracks " I think we are there." He said as he started to crawl back and lay down on his back.

Wario was confused about what the space wolf was doing before he could have a chance of asking. He started to kick against the grid and in a matter of seconds it fell down on the floor.

"Let's enter with our Welcome." Wolf casually says as he left the vent whilst on his back. Wario shortly follows.

They've entered a small room whose walls were grey, and on them were several fuses. On their right was an orange metallic door.

"That's the room where the electricity of the castle is coming from." Wario realized confused " Why did he send us here?"

"I don't know..." Wolf spite out "That guy is so confusing! I don't know what he wants! Does he have a hook somewhere in that deal? Why is he giving us those strange tasks? Like we are here to flip a switch! A switch! I don't know we should do this. Like is just turning the power off or no-" Wolf stopped half was as he looked at Wario's phone.

"Hey...did Ridley turn his device off?" Wolf points at the phone.

Wario rose an eyebrow as he looked at the screen which was pitch black. "Er...? What the? Did my battery run off?" Wario stuttered confused.

At once a voice growled. "What do you mean by that?" Ridley asked, and both looked surprised.

"Woops." Wario apologized " I've thought my battery runoff since the screen is black, can you put your hand of the screen?"

"What screen? You know that my device is a hologram, I can't fucking make it magically dark! Are you trying to fuck with me?!" the pirate spat out.

Wario open his mouth baffled while Wolf's face was shocked? surprised? Wario didn't know what emotion it was, but it wasn't important.

"A hologram?! Then you're not obscuring it in any way?"

"No! You fucking Human! I'm literally on the way out of the dining hall because I have the hunch that Mario is getting suspicious! Why are you asking me that worthless question?"

"B-Because on your side of the screen I'm seeing like..."Wario pauses "Nothing! It's so black like in some mega-black coffee!"

"...That's very strange." Ridley said, not sounding very surprised "Maybe it's an error on your side?... Eh, Did you two get into the room? what is it exactly?"

"Just the closet with the electricity in it." Wolf answered bluntly " I dunno why the guy send us here.

"I'm rather more puzzled by the fact of he meant with Wario earlier. Like what does he mean with that Wario can make it successful or completely wreck it down? What the hell does he mean with stolen knowledge? I don't know a single ass of what he was talking about!"

While Ridley complaint and Wolf let out an annoyed sigh...Wario felt weird.

He looked around to find something and looked at the light of a tube fluorescent, the light was almost burning...like it wants his attention.

He squeezed his eyes and saw a shade in the tube itself. "Hey." Started Wario "I think there's something inside the tube..."

"Something inside?" Wolf looked baffled at him. "How did it get in there?"

"I dunno...was the guy's doing? But does this mean he'd planned this for longer? When did he start this?" Wario began to walk around confused. " I mean, did he just plan everything? then what was the point of asking us to join him anyway? What does HE actually want?!" He started to lean on a wall next to a shelf. "What do you think? That he is dangerous or a nut case? I mean you did had one nut case, right, Wolf?"

Wolf slightly snarled " Don't remind me on Andross! That ape was a crazy genius! I'd better hope our shadow boss is not a crazy one too."

"Not so crazy like Mario with that black thin-" Wario got interrupted as soon he felt that his back slowly starting lower, and with a cursed scream he fall down as the lever behind was pulled down.

The light of the tube got brighter and brighter and without a large surprise it burst, and with it, the entire room darkens.

"Hey! what happened to the Light?" screamed Pit from Wario's phone.

Then a sudden scream from Luigi came " MARIO! what's happening?" They could Hear how Mario quickly stood up and without a word walking away.

"Damm it!" Wolf cursed "We have to go!"

Wario started to touch the ground with his gloves to find the thing that was inside the lamp.

He could've sworn he heard it falling on the ground. The shattered pieces of the tube crushed under his fingers like eggshells...then he felt something cold and rounded? what was he holding?

Before he could say anything they hear footsteps getting closer at a fast pace.

"Come over here!" Wolf whispered angered " you go first and I hold the grid of the vent!"

Wario quickly picked up the thing and darted into a direction that he pray is the shaft, and successfully went in, he heard Wolf mumbling as he presumes is the grid and hold in place.

Then a light entered the room as the door swung open violently, Wario could hear his heart thump, but it was not due to that Mario is standing in the room...it was the face he made.

Mario's eyes were full of burning anger, and yet his mouth was just an emotionless cold line. After so many years of seeing his rival, he felt for the first time fear from him.

Mario entered the room with a flashlight in hand, wich Light slowly creeps across the shards and dust of the tube. The light created scary shadows on Mario's face, and they almost appeared like wrinkles.

"cosa a buon mercato" The red plumber mumbled, "must get this fixed." he seems to go the lever that Wario by mistake pushed down, he slowly reaches it. Wario let out a quiet sigh...and Mario suddenly pointed, with a quick movement, the flashlight to the vent.

Wario's heart stopped as the light touched his face, and he could swear Wolf's fur towered up.

Mario slowly inches closer, and Wario could swear he could see the Light reflecting in Mario's eyes.

For a half-century, Mario just stood there and did nothing, which was driving Wario nuts. How can he stand this still?

The eyes started almost empty at them. it felt like time had stopped, Wario wondered if he saw them already.

Then with a quick jolt, Mario stood up and goes the lever, and turned it up.

Outside the room Wario could see the light from the door flickers and turned on, and while Mario's flashlight goes dark.

Without any words, Mario steps out of the room.

Wario let out another sigh of relief and touched his heart.

"OH MEIN GOTT!" He screamed, to the surprise of Wolf, in German. "That's was too tense! Mama mia...I've really thought he saw us."

"Be quiet! We must go through the door and fix the grid of the vent, and what is the thing you've found?" Wolf said as he let go from the thing and exit the vent, and Wario fell out of it.

He opened his palm, and to their utmost confusion, the thing that Wario picked up was a necklace with a light bulb attached to it. The chain itself was seemingly out of citrus orange, while the bulb was just your regular normal light bulb.

"What?" Wolf quietly said in disbelief, "That was we gain for the trouble? Are you kidding me?!"

Wario shakes his head in disbelief "I'm speechless! It kinda looks ugly, but it has to have a meaning, or why should our guy send us here..." Wario shakes his head. " Watch my back, while I screw back the vent." He put the necklace in his pocket and pulled out the screwdriver.

Wolf reluctantly grunts as he turned around.

Wario picked up the vent lid and started to screw back in the screws.

As Wario already was on the third, Wolf's nose picked something up, something chemical.

"Hey." He slowly began as he heard that Wario screwed in the third. "Did you happen to spill out some fluids?"

"No." Wario was now getting on the fourth. "Why do you ask?"

"My snout is picking up something strongly chemical. You sure you didn't knock over something on the shelf in your little accident?"

"No, I'm sure that I didn't hit the shel-" Wario pauses as he noticed the chemical smell creeping in his nose as the last screw was in place.

He put his tool away, "what is that? It almost smells like some eggs that landed in sulfur, which stinks!"

"You don't say!" Wold shouted "It's not like I smell better, cause my snout is more susceptible! Where the heck is that coming from?!"

Wolf started to walk and started to smell around the room, and he rosed his eye as the stench come from the metal door.

He waved at Wario to come, and both exited the door.

They entered an unknown hallway to them, its white walls gleamed one the faces them.

"Woah! Where are we?" said Wario, while Wolf ignored his comment and continued to sniff around.

"Something doesn't feel right about this...First, where is the smell coming from, and secondly, isn't the hallway a bit too long?"

Wolf turned around and faced the yellow plumber.

"Yeah, you're kinda right, I can't see any liquid on the ground, and why this hallway? I mean isn't it a bad choice in design, to make a hallway to just the room with electricity in it?" he folded his eyes, and saw in the distance of the white a brown dot. "What is this? The door, which I think is the brown stain, is hard to see! How long is this hallway?"

Wolf just shakes his head, and Wario at the end just shrugs.

Without a word, they've started to walk into the bright white.

Their steps echoed against the walls, and it sounded like many beings walked behind them, as if they were walking to their judgment, their punishment.

With each step, the dot became bigger and bigger, and its details clearer.

"You know..." Wario slowly began unsure of what to say. " I kinda want to wear that necklace," he said while pulling it out.

"Why are you saying this to me?" Wolf answered angered " I honestly couldn't care less about it! you can wear as much you want, but what I care more is the reason behind all of this!" the next steps sounded more angered. " Like why all of this?! wh-" He interrupts as Wario noticed his expression change. "Hey, shouldn't we tell Ridley about this?"

" Not a chance! 'cause by battery just run out."

"What the?! Can't this get any worse!?" He said in a mixture of annoyance and confusion.

They got closer and they could be starting to see the door more clearly.

On the dark wood of the door was a Sun, a Moon, and a star carved.

Wolf's and Wario's noses could smell that the door had an odor of Apples, which was hardly noticed as the stench from earlier was now intense, almost overwhelming.

Wolf put his hand on his snout to lesser of stench in, and Wario pinched his nose closed.

"Geez!" he said grossed out. " What's behind this door?!"

"I don't know!" The mercenary inched closer and noticed the door handle was like a painter wanted to paint it in white, but halfway through it decided to paint the other half in black. There were also some stars on it that were Golden-Purplish, as in a manner that it looked spilled on it. "That's an odd taste in carving and paint."

"Yeah, sure is!" Wario commented on it. " Is this supposed to be modern art?" He inched closer.

"The smell definitely is coming from this...should I peek through the keyhole? Since I have a bad feeling about this, I may look through to perhaps see a trap."

Wolf nodded in response as Wario lowered his face and began to look through the keyhole.

He saw a room which had huge wires covering the ground, on them was pale blue light.

He wondered if there was anything else, but he probably couldn't see anything else it was mostly outside his view.

"And?" Wolf asked, and Wario shared his discovery on him.

"Okay...There's a room with cables in..." Wolf drank the information slowly, and his expression changed to the realization of something that they forgot about it. "wait a minute, didn't Mario walk this way?"

Wario's eyes widen "W-what? He'd walk this way! Where in the world are we in the castle? Some secret laboratory? This mission is getting weirder and weirder! but..."Pauses before his eyes lit up "I want to know more! Now I'm curious about this!" he said, turning around.

He lifted his elbow, and without a warning dashed at full force against the Door. With a loud bang, it swings open and Wario vanished into the dark.

Wich Wolf follows shortly.

Wolf entered the room and saw how Wario was Kinda looking under the cables.

He Lifted one with two hands, it was large and dangling like a pool noodle. the pale blue light illuminated the floor a bit, and Wolf noticed it was plain concrete.

"I don't know if you were serious about the secret laboratory Idea or joking..." Wolf said jokingly.

Wario said just numbly "It was rather the latter..." and dropped the cable with a large thud. He pointed into the only corridor in the room, which had multiple lights on the ceiling, bathing the corridor in a ghostly white light.

"You first."

Wario just shrugged his shoulder and decided to take lead.

After they walked for a while, Thoughts started to enter Wolf's mind...unpleasant thoughts that could explain the reason for those cables...his heart stopped in shock, as his ears caught something off in the echoes of their steps... There were four echoes to many.

"Hey, do you believe, that Mario acutely sa-" Wario realized that Wolf was quiet. "What's the matter, you scared?" He asked jokingly

"I..." Wolf paused, " I think we're being followed..."

"what?" Wario almost shouted, but managed in time to lower his volume, as his face tensed up "But upon entering there was no place to hide...How can someone be behind us?"

"I don't know." Wolf's ears started to move in an attempt to hear the steps, they picked up nothing which meant that the pursuer just vanished or stopped.

Wolf quietly instructed Wario to continue walking, which the latter didn't quite understood.

"Why should we keep walking? I think we could beat them." He whispers.

"Because we don't know what we're dealing with! Like that white hall from earlier must come from some high tech and skill. It's better if we try to keep this low."

They both started moving, and as soon they walked they heard steps again...only closer and faster this time.

Wolf began to notice that one of the steps seems to be limping, and they sounded harder.

Wario and Wolf found a door next to their Right, and they quickly entered it, whilst it was dark inside.

Wolf quickly closed the door, and Both of them vanished into the dark.

After a while, they could the strange steps passing the door and heard a slight high chuckle.

They smelled that the stench from earlier comes from the chaser from outside!

"Wolf!" Wario whispers " The source of the smell is outside!"

Wolf turned his Face at Wario growling angered as though he's about to kill him.

The steps get quiet and quieter, then they heard nothing anymore.

Wario moved close to the door, and without Wolf's permission flipped on a light switch.

Before Wolf could shout at him, The lights flicked and Illuminated the Room, and to the surprise of both, there was nothing in the room, only a blanket covering a part of the wall.

"...that's it?" Wario complains as on his foreheads wrinkles appear. " Is this room unused or what?"

Wolf stared at the cover of the wall, his eyes blinked. "Why is this piece of cloth covering that wall? Like, I know I've said it already, but I can't shake off the feeling that something doesn't feel right. Especially that cover on the wall. Call me crazy but I have the feeling that you should not pull off the cover." He said commandingly and rolled his eyes Immediately afterward. "But, I know you enough that, you wouldn't listen to me anyway. Come suit yourself, pull it off. If something bad is going to happen, it will be your fault."

Wario answered with a grin and with huge steps he got closer to the cover and Ripped it off the wall.

Two things appear, one was a Portrait and the other was a notice board?

Wario looked at the Notice board closer. "What is this?" He whispers shocked.

On the board, there were multiple photos of the fighters...and multiple red threads connected to each of them. Then after a closer inspection, he noticed that some threads changed their shape midway to the other way. Like for example, Bowser's thread had heart-shaped holes in them, and as they wander off into Peach's Photo, they slowly transform into chains as though they are showing off, That Bowser is Loving Peach but her connection to him is rather of a prisoner.

Wario shook his head as he heard Wolf quietly say. "From who is this? Who was watching us this long? Is our Shadow 'leader'? Or how else are those connections there?"

"I..." Wario slowly stutters, as his Moustache bounces nervously off. " I-I honestly don't know...This is starting to get creepy, like real creepy." He eyed the thread of Samus and Ridley, which was adorned with thorns. "Like why are they so shaped like this? Isn't there too much effort put into this? If I did that, I wouldn't put much detail in those. It's like the one behind this, wanted this to be some sort of art piece!"

He looked at another thread, this time it was Mario's and Luigi's, and Rosalina. This one was strangely shaped, not even trying the more stranger one between Mario and Luigi.

"What's your opinion on that thread? This holes looks like shields, but I can't what the holes are between Mario and his stinking brother, Luigi." Wario asked Wolf in a mocking tone. He eyes the holes which have been cut in their half and thus doubled, and add to that it went even back and forth.

"I don't care!" Wolf spat at him "I'm feeling unnerved. And what is that Painting anyway?"

Wario turned away from the board and looked at the painting.

Its frame was golden and had some flourishing pattern as if they were wings.

But what was shown in the painting was far more interesting.

A bright ball of light that was before of an orange sky was depicted that was surrounded with white wings, which on the inside were colored with the tint of red, blue, and yellow.

What was also being seen, right beside the ball of light, were two half stars, whose halves were white.

"What is that." Wolf said the question as though it was an answer. "Some weird art piece that I don't want to understand."

Wario didn't pay attention to Wolf's complaints he noticed, that letters were etched on the underside of the Frame, which spelled 'Benedictus sit Mundus per lumen suum.'

Wolf quickly noticed the letters too. "What language is that?"

"I dunno, maybe Latin," Wario commented and looked at Wolf straight in the eyes. "I think we should head back, this place is slowly getting on my nerves."

Wolf nodded and went away first. Wario again scratches his butt and started to move... and he heard a hissing, that from a snake, behind him.

He quickly jolted around and saw Nothing.

What was that just now? Was he imagining things, or was there truly a hiss just now?

Before he could ponder about longer, he heard Wolf shouting bewildered "W-What the hell?!"

His tiny legs darted over the floor, and he could swear, as he almost left the door, he could felt a harsh gaze piercing in his back.

Wario finally left the door and to his shock and confusion, he entered an office with oak wood walls.

"Wha?" he said bewildered as he looked around. "W-Where'd the hallway go?!"

" I know I've said it the fourth time, but something is definitely not right." Commented Wolf while Wario was clutching his head.

Wario looked to his left and crutches his finger deeper in his head. "There are even Windows! Where are in the world are we?!"

He looked out of it and saw, that where ever they just are, it was located in a forest.

Wario being absolutely confused about the entire situation decided to sit down, he walked towards the desk, which has the same wood as the walls, and began to sit on the black leather chair.

"Okay..." Wario said slowly, as Wolf began to lean casually against the wall. "Okay, Our shadow-er, uh, screw it!" Wario slammed his hand on the desk. " I dunno what is going on anymore! Like, that mysterious moron, doesn't tell us a single thing it's just 'Get this and do this, I'm not telling you, 'cause I'm bored and stupid as bread.' What are the things we are getting for him? Those two jewels from yesterday, for what are they? For money? Or some other purpose, I don't know! The weird necklace? I dunno what he wants with it. Maybe to look fresh? My brain just hurts at this!"

As he finished his small rant, Wolf just huffed exhausted.

As Wario calmed down, he noticed a red button on the right. In desperate to find some answer he just punched the button.

With a quick rattle, a hidden drawer revealed itself, and Wario saw inside to find two documents.

He rose an eyebrow as he started to read its contents, and Wolf came closer and joined in.

'Experiment ##### has been almost successful, both [REDEACTED] and [REDEACTED] almost fulfilled their given commands. There are still some very strange errors if I may add. Like, they sometimes stop mid in their tracks, but mostly (I've asked multiple co-workers of their opinion.) They work almost perfectly. Some other co-worker said that these errors could possibly come from the ten-year slumber tactic we've used on them. But no matter! We can handle this! We will try to quickly gain more results.

Footnote: I don't know why three parts of the document are Redacted. If I am allowed to ask, can you try to not do this? This kinda confusing.'

Wario put down the first document. His hands started to shake, and also his mouth as he slowly began to talk "W-where did we get ourselves into? Is this a huge conspiracy? I hate to admit it, but I can't shake off the feeling that we're being watched, right now."

Wolf just huffed again. "Don't be that scared." Wolf replied which annoyed Wario. " I mean, there's literally nothing behind us unless we're counting the wall. The other thing we have to read those like we can't get out of here for a very strange reason, and there's the very small chance that the solution of our situation may lie in the last document."

Wario wanted to let out a complaint, then realized, that he may be right. There was no way of them getting out since the door they just left was leading in that empty room.

He pulled out reluctantly the last document.

'Something had happened. Something went...odd? Am I allowed to say this? While [REDACTED] was doing some clean-up, [ReDaCTeed] went off. A Guard went after him, and found him in a room, and seemingly Be [BEING A SINNER]. He told me that [THE HEIR] was drawing pictures on paper. Some were very strange, one of them seemed to depict a humanoid(?) surrounded by orbs.

It truly seems that [THE LORD] was kinda drawing things that may have come from their Trauma of how both of them got into [SAFE SHELTER].

I'll try to find this about more since some of the drawings are kinda...ominous?

Results come later.

Footnote: Something is not right about this, no one is pranking me or you...but someone is altering the Information in the files, as though [YES] was doing it an-'

Wario's and Wolf's eyes widen as they read the last line. '[WARIO AND WOLF] [YOU'RE HISSSSSSS]'

Wario drop the document as if it was a burning piece of coal, as they heard the steps from earlier, reaching the door with menacing laughter.

He jumped out of the chair and clenched his fists, and Wolf pulled out his claws, as they wait for whatever will now enter.

The door was thrown open, and what had just entered, haven't both of them not expected.

A large cable had coiled around a skeleton of a child, presumably ten years old, one of the legs had so much of the on it, it was just sadly limping behind. On the chest were still pieces of clothing, as though in a futile attempt to wear something.

But the worst thing they saw, was the fact that the skeleton, had two heads attached to it. As if someone had forgotten that there should be one skull on it, instead of two.

Wario almost wanted to scream and run away, as he noticed that some flesh was still left on the teeth of both skulls.

Both of the loose jaws of the skulls moved, and besides the lack of vocal cords, a burst of laughter erupted in the room.

The thing jumps up high into the air, to their surprise, and Wario noticed that another cable was wrapped up in the left arm, and it slowly began to stir.

It landed directly in front of Wolf who reacted with a stretched kick and grazed a bit of the left skull. The left skull chuckled, as a crackling was being heard.

Wario quickly looked at the cable and noticed that it started to tower up.

"Wolf! The cable!" Wario shouted loudly.

Wolf noticed in time that the cable sparkled with electricity, and the cable struck with a swift motion. Wolf jump high into the air, but the right skull gnarled angered, and the cable towered again up. This time the sparkles collected quickly into a small ball of electric blue and fired.

Wolf tried to pull out his reflector, but the ball hit his chest. Wolf felt that his chest was like being pulled through a power outlet, the sparkle began to grow a little, as his fur began to smoke a little, and without any delay, it disrupted into smaller sparks.

Wolf fell onto his back as his fur was emitting smoke. "Da..." Wolf's voice collapsed at the sudden back pain, which was to his notice, was more painful than anything that was allowed at the tournament, which also was a lot.

He cursed as he noticed that the skeleton 'child' inches closer, and both skulls chuckle as though it was a twisted form of catch.

Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw the desk from earlier slammed into the child.

both things were being sent flying into the wall, and Wario run into his view.

"Eat that losers!" Wario said confidently and pulled Wolf up. " Better?" And to Wolf's surprise, the pain just left.

"I'm fin-"

"Good!" Wario interrupted him quickly " I didn't want you to carry out of there."

Before Wolf could comment, a large burst of electricity formed under the desk, and with a large explosion, the desk was sent flying again.

Wario reacted fast and punched the desk, which got destroyed into firewood.

The cabled child's skulls now screamed furiously.

"I'll think we have to fight for our way out." Said Wolf, and quickly pulled out his blaster.

Wario sprinted forward, and yelled loud " Here I GO!" and rammed into the child with his elbow and got slammed into the wall.

The two skulls snarled childishly, as Wolf shouted, and Wario step aside, Wolf fired a big blast of purple energy, and the child screamed loudly as the blast engulfed it.

After the energy disappeared, the child fell down without any motion. Wolf has still his blaster at the body, and Wario inches closer.

"geez..." Wario and looked at the child. " What kind of insane moron did that? I almost feel bad for them."

Wario turned to Wolf who was silent for a moment. " Me too." As pulled his blaster away. "I'm a merchant, but I wouldn't do that to Kiddo's, we should leave." Wolf said as he walk.

Wario looked at the children again and noticed that the light behind began to flicker.

He turned around, as Wolf was still behind him without seemingly paying attention to the Light.

Wario looked at the ceiling lamp, that to his surprise didn't notice before and saw a hole inside it. Possible do that the child doing that explosion from earlier...and in that hole, it was dark.

He felt uncomfortable at starring at unpenetrable darkness, he looked at it hypnotized as similar to a black hole sucks Light in, his eyes became fixed on this darkness.

After a while, a light appeared in it regardless of the darkness, and to Wario's terror, that Light was an eyeball.

The Eye itself was golden, and the iris was horizontal and white. The iris began to grow in size and Wario freed himself of the shock and jumped aside, yelling to Wolf. " We're still in danger!"

Wolf quickly turned around just the moment the eye in the lamp fired a beam of golden Light onto the remains of the cabled child.

The room was engulfed in bright white light, both of the fighters screamed, as they got blinded by the colors violently reflecting from the wooden walls.

As the Light died down, they saw the child jumping up in the air, and on its chest was some kind of machine that was glowing like some kind of rainbow emerald.

"What the hell?!" Wolf said utterly shocked, as he without thinking fired another blast and the skulls chuckled, and the evaded the blast quicker. It dashes to Wolf in almost in a zig-zag manner, and Wario realized that the Light seemed to have them made faster.

Then he heard a hiss, that came from the hole. With a quick jolt, the eye jumped out... rather the long body.

With a loud thud on the ground, the white serpent towered up and hissed enraged.

Wario and Wolf, who were quickly dodging the child's cables from hitting him, noticed the white wings on the serpent's body. They were the same ones from the painting from earlier!

"This is the Thing from the painting!" Wolf screamed to Wario. " You must watch your back!" Wolf dodged an electric ball from the child and countered it with a pair of quick slashes, that a least the last one hit the Left skull and left a scar across its face.

The Serpent hissed loud, and Its eyes glowed goldenly, without any warning it started to strike at the game developer. Wario ducked away just in time and answered with a strong upper fist.

"Take that!" he said with a grin and slapped with both of his Hands under the jaw of the Snake.

The Snake hissed again, and again its Eyes glowed but this time it was purple.

A high tone ringed in Wario's ears as multiple purple beams, arranged in some form of a net. Wario looked around and saw Wolf who got stung by one of the cables, and he looked at himself and saw how one of the beams has been directed on his chest.

Before Wario could react, the purple lines glowed up, and a burning pain soured through his body, as the light touched his body. He was sent flying and landed into multiple beams.

He could feel how the Light burned multiple spots on his body, it felt a thousand hot spoons touched them with acid on top of them, the pain was so intense that he could swear he was going to pass out.

Then the burn stopped as he landed hard on his Nose. With a loud yelp, he quickly stood up and saw that those lasers didn't only damage him. Some places of the walls, the floor, and the ceiling had now burned marks on them, as though children went chaotic with their coal pencils.

"Geez, some hard Boss you are..." Wario slowly says while keeping his Pain in check. " Haven't a good challenge since my last Adventure...Show your Skills against the Great Wario!"

He quickly stormed to the Snake and Succesful gave it a head butt, the snaked hissed and, its Wings removed themselves from the Body. They ravel around and Wario quickly realized that they changed into drills, he quickly dodged them, as they vanished into the ground leaving multiple holes.

He laughed cocky.

Only to regret that he laughed too early, he heard an explosion into his back, presumably, a bomb was placed behind him,it hurled him forward, and he saw how one of the Drills landed into him.

The Winged-drill drilled through his jacket and pinned him onto the Ground.

He cursed under his breath, as he tried to free himself from the drill, but the wings were heavy. They weigh like 30 kilograms, maybe even more. He uses his right arm to punch at the Wing, and he saw a shadow, being thrown at him.

Without looking up, he knew that the Snake was towering over him like he was the dinner that the Snake had waited for Today.

The Tounge flicked as if it was slightly laughing at the bad position Wario is in right now.

He quickly turned his face to Wolf, in Hopes Wolf was in a Position of helping, but to his dismay, Wolf was Held by The cable on his Throat, being threatened to be choked by any second.

The Snake opened his mouth slowly, and the breath washes over him. Wario blinked his eyes in intensity and confusion, as he realized of...how clean the mouth felt like that Snake just washed his mouth a moment ago.

A loud cracking crept across the floor, and before anyone could react the wooden floor broke away, and Everyone fell down and got swallowed by the dark.

The Serpent's body collided with his head, and he saw black.

Wario opened his eyes and found himself on the Ground.

He slowly stood up and saw on the ground, what shinned like dark ink. He looked up and saw the light from the office, that glowed like a distant comfortable Lighthouse in the inky night.

He looked around to see if he saw Wolf, or worse The snake that had knocked him out cold.

To no avail, there weren't any signs of them, he turned around and saw something entirely different.

He saw that he was standing on a dark stone that was illuminated by a Light in a way that was similar to being on a distant dark planet. The source of the Light came from the stone dais as though the Object of the Light was being praised for some accomplishment or Importance that he was unaware of.

The object in question was: A Golden clock that was, in Wario guess, five stories tall, and like seven school buses in length.

The Clock was as it was mentioned golden, which would normally entice Warrior's eyes into dollar signs, but he looked at digits of it, or rather symbols.

The symbols felt familiar and yet felt unfamiliar, and he saw two clock hands, so rusty and brown that he was surprised that they haven't fallen off yet.

He walked closer to inspect the symbols better.

He started at, what he presumes to be twelve; a Halved star, shinning its white like white flames and drowning that white in the darkness. He noticed that the star had a crown over it, which was red like blood.

Then he looked at the One: It was an Island that has a Pink-heart over it as if it was this island's sun is.

Then the Two was next in the Line: It was a Golden Dragon which seemed to look at another Dragon that was dressed In Crimson Red and... violet Bones?

He looked at the Three: which seemed to be three flames in the color of Red, green, and Blue.

He looked at the next, what he expected to be four, was just a black hole...upon closer inspection, he realized that was not a black hole, rather an Actual hole. based on the cracks surrounding it, That the original symbol, was either smashed to Pieces or shot through.

Feeling uneasy he Looked at the Fifth symbol.

The fifth one was: Five animals, that seemed technological, An elephant, a large bird, a camel, a Lizard, and a horse.

The Sixth was to his surprise, was Ridley, and some other figures, three of them looked like some Bird people, the other two were just plain people.

The Seventh was by far the plainest one. Just seven diamonds.

The eighth where just Rosalina's wand with other wands that were strangely shaped.

Wario kinda liked the blacked one. He shook his head and moved on to the Ninth.

The symbol showed someone's head with nine cables attached to him/her.

The next one was ten drops of Blood.

He Looked at the eleventh and saw a church with eleven Things he couldn't clearly see.

After he looked at the clock he noticed that the Bigger clock hand was halfway on the eight wands, and the smaller one on the church. Only one Hour later until both of them reach the twelve.

"To my opinion, that's the weirdest clock I've ever seen." Wario said with a slight mock, like the design of it was bad, how can you properly tell the Time? Those symbols are so weird an-

He farted and remembered that he should look after Wolf, maybe he went to the Clock itself?

Wario casually walked forth, and the clock Loomed started to loom over him.

He brushed it off and saw that something was laying on the ground. He inches closer and realized that it was Wolf laying there.

He moved faster whilst Looking out for the snake and the weird kid, and he reached him.

He quickly kneeled down and started to smack him out of his 'sleep'

"Hey! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up and smell...uh, the rust!" After the barrage of slaps, Wolf woke up and as a way of thank you, he kicked into Wario's stomach.

Wario flew a half meter as Wolf shouted very angered "WHY DID YOU SLAP ME AWAKE, YOU DAMN MORON!?" and saliva oozed from his Mouth.

"''cause bored and needing to hurry up."

"WHAT?!" He spits venom "YOU'RE KIDDING ME?!"

Wolf tried to yell another thing at him, but he quickly took a deep breath, and out. His fur lowers itself in tension.

"Good." He slowly says, " Where are we?"

Wario just shrugged, and in response, Wolf just turned around and studied the clock.

" How can this thing even fit under there?" He asked. " I mean the entire structure from everything from before doesn't make sense...wait."

The mercenary paused as he looked at the distant Light of the office. " This is too high up..."

" And?"

" We should be Trophies, there's no way that this fall didn't 'kill' u- where is the damn Snake and that experiment?"

He looked at Wario, who responded with a shrug.

A loud earth-shattering hiss was being heard. They both ready themselves again, but they heard also the sound of cogs starting up behind them.

"Oh, boy..." Wario started to sound bored " This Snake is getting annoying."

As like the devil, the snake crept forth from the dark, and to their wonder from the child was nothing to be seen, the serpentine body was covered in bruises, presumably from the fall itself.

The Snake towered up, and its eyes glowed bluishly.

The Light from the hole in the Office began to ripple, and it split into the color blue.

Both of the fighters looked closer and saw how that the Light turned into strings, and at once the strings flew in their direction like Lighting bolts.

Wolf quickly dashes around with a help of his device, while Wario Jumped around.

The Snake hissed and was being greeted by Wolf who has covered himself in fire. The scaly body gets flung by Wario who fully flang himself into it, causing it to slide closer to the Clock, and on the ground leaving marks.

The Snake's tongue came out weakly, as it slowly took breaths.

" He!" Wario burst out with a Mocking tone. " Have already enough, Buster?" He said while digging in his Nose, and Wolf shook his head disappointed.

"...You..." a voice uttered from seemingly nowhere.

Both the developer and mercenary looked around confused, and they saw the mouth of the Snake slowly moving.

"Y-You..." The snake hissed as it was Glaring at Wario, it slowly lifted its head. " You did...well, Light seal"

"EH?!" Wario shouted confused. " I'm what?!"

" A...Light seal..." The Serpent answered while Wolf seemed also to be speechless. " You are having the roles, of a Thief, also being a Bard... and yet you have another gift." It pauses as let in a deep breath. " A star in your heart...and yet there's something else that you are..." and started to chuckle...

Wolf's eyes widen and before he could utter a warning to Wario, both of them got Tied up from the Blue strings from earlier.

" A FOOL!" The snake's body rose up like it was being stung by an Insect. " Did you really believe I'll let you live? Wario Nampuj? DID YOU?!"

The snake hissed loudly, and Wario could swear the way the Snake spoke and sounded, it sounded Familiar?

" I must punish you!" The snake hissed and started to Laugh. "Hmm...but In what way should I do it? In what way can be this fitting of the Order of Light? I know!" It grinned at the sudden Idea of what Punishment can be. " I'll burn in the very Thing you are the seal from! THE LIGHT OF ME!" The snake laughed in triumph.

It slowly open his mouth, and a Black Vortex was Inside it, the Vortex distorted slowly, and Wario and Wolf tried to loosen the strings...

But to no avail.

The Vortex exploded Into a beam of Light, both at first felt nothing...not until as the Light phased through them.

As was a pain unlikely they've ever felt in their lives, it hurt so much as though a thousand white-hot needles were being stabbed into them. Their flesh began to burn away like ice cream, and could finally see the outlines of their Bones getting sawed and burned to useless dusty remains.

Wario almost jolted from his body with a terrified scream. His heart pump so quickly, his body was in cold sweat, his lungs desperately trying to breathe.

His eyes darted around to see something...and saw his Bedroom.

His Lung slowly relaxed, his body was still sweating but started to calm down, and his heart started to hurt less.

After some minutes of silence, Wario calmed down.

"Mama mia..." He said under his breath, as though he is still afraid that the Snake is in his room. " A Nightmare... This kinda explains the strange things in the dream. Like the strange rooms, the fights, and the Clock. What did I ju-"

He was interrupted by a Knock on the door.

" Wario? Are you alright in there?" Asked a Voice through the Door, He let out an annoyed sigh, it was the Idiotic Kiddo with his Pokémon!

" Yes! I'm fine!" He shouted angered as he, although unnecessary, pointed at his Door. " Get out of here and Let me sleep!"

From the other side of the Door, he heard annoying moaning. " Fine. Sorry for being mindful."

Wario slowly started to lean into his bed, and looked at his Night table...and saw the Lightbulb necklace.

He wondered for a moment why It was laying there but Decided that it doesn't matter right now.

He went to sleep.

" Sleep...Light seal." Said a Dark Orb that was standing in the shadow of Warior's Room. " You did well, Wario..."

On the table, the necklace started to flicker with a Light inside.

END OF DAY 4

Happy New Year to everyone! I do hope you all had a good year despite the fact of what was going on, and have good goals for the new year.

Yeah I know that towards the end of this chapter may feel a bit rushed, I'm still learning. It's almost like Time itself get stole-

What? what you're saying? Missing scenes? What are you talking about?

Maybe I should go earlier to bed... I'm having lesser sleep.

I'm sorry. I should not mention this in the Writers notes... we'll see you next time!

I swear... I didn't miss some scenes...It's like the Pacing in the story is missing...

"They are Author."
