Prologue:

A short time ago, perhaps about fifteen to twenty four years, there were eight heroes of their time. Brave men and women, all of whom their homes were proud of. Only one of them ever had his name recorded, but it was because of his participation in the Lylat Wars; James McCloud. He, his high-school friend Arel Aran, and six other people were given this dream one day before the birth of their children, meaning that James was the last to receive this dream.

The next day, his son was born in a tragic way. His wife Vixy was murdered in cold blood, and if it weren`t for the doctors, his son wouldn`t have made it himself. This tragedy happened to seven of the eight ones who were to have their children, their wives or them dying. Arel was the only lucky one to deliver her child, and that was the only one who turned out to be a girl of the eight.

Now it is fifteen years since that accident happened. Nearly all of the parents who had the dream are dead or missing in action. The eight children are now nearly grown up, most in their late teens. Some have never met each other, and they doubt that their lives would be any more significant to others than they already were, from the child who was claimed Hero of Time to the one who's life revolved around being the loyalist Pokemon he could be.

Their lives are all about to change. Forever. . .

When Pigs Fly

Mario Mario wasn't exactly the most normal plumber you'd meet everyday. He lived in a magical land called the Mushroom Kingdom, a land that was currently under siege. Everything there was once peaceful, sure, but that peace ended when Bowser, the king of the evil Koopa Tribe, took control and turned nearly everyone into bricks, flowers, and ironically, mushroom people. The Princess, Peach Toadstool, was not the brightest crayon in the Crayola box, so taking over the castle was a piece of cherry pie. It was Mario and his brother Luigi's job to see that the kingdom would be restored.

Today Mario had given Luigi time off. They had rescued the Princess fifteen times now, so it was a little stupid to ask Luigi to come along since he knew the castle like the back of his hand. The Princess was yet again captured, and it was up to Mario to save Peach's rear once again.

"Stupid Princess, interruptinga my dinner anda asking me to save-a her. I should get paid for all of-a the times I've-a done this!", Mario mumbled to himself as he climbed up the mountainous staircase in Bowser`s Castle.

He finally came to the top of the stair well. A couple of Goombas rushed to meet him, but he spat out a few fireballs and ended that idea. Mario trudged along a little more, and kept moaning about the stupidity of all of this.

"Perhaps Bowser willa have a little more humor today.", Mario pondered to himself as he opened up the throne room door, "I mean, he's gotta be laughing about all of thisa."

"Mario, it's great to see you once again! How are you doing today?", Bowser laughed. Mario just sighed and ignored him. Maybe Mario wasn't in a happy mood like he wanted to be in.

"Hey, why so glum? You got here, didn't you? Hah, I thought you were taking your time when you didn't get here so fast!", Bowser laughed, and began twirling his star rod in the air like a baton.

"Mya go-kart was broken, okey-dokey? Geez, you are soa impatient!", Mario snapped back, "Do youa think I like this any bit?"

"All right, all right. I'll cut to the chase, plunger boy!", Bowser snickered, and then stood up. He started to grope around behind his throne. Mario cocked an eyebrow, and then stepped closer.

"Rubber Ducky, old Mad Magazine, hey, my toe-nail clipper, ah, it's gotta be back here somewhere!", Bowser carelessly tossed items behind his back. Mario was hit by a banana peel, which he tore off his face and threw it to the side angrily.

"Hey, are wea here to fight ora what?", Mario asked furiously. If he wanted to waste time, he would go home and watch football.

"Here it is!!", Bowser pulled out a large, bazooka-like weapon that had several purple tubes crossing into the ammunition supply.

"What on earth?", Mario asked, confused and a little bit scared. Bowser would never have the brains to invent that, so who did? And more importantly, how did Bowser get a hold of it??!!

"This is called an Atom-Demolecular- . . . ah heck, it's a gun that's gunna fry your butt!! Dr. Andross invented this baby for me!", Bowser giggled, then charged it up.

"Fry mya butt? Only when pigs fly!! . . .Um, Dr. Who? Who'sa Andross?", Mario began to retort, but stopped short. He had never heard of anybody that was named Andross in his life. Somehow, though, he seemed familiar. . .

"Andross? Ah, he's a good friend of mine! We met a few weeks ago. Quite an extraordinary ape, better than any old ape I've met.", Bowser began to babble, "Oh, yeah, perhaps I should tell you. Andross and a couple new buds of mine have banded together. We are sick of all you heroes! We figure that together, we can whip your hides!"

"What the??!!", Mario gasped. This was bad that Bowser had a new friend, not to mention a lot of them. And who where they against?

"Ah, yes . . .Good bye, Mario. I'll see you later.", Bowser popped off a quick shot of his gun. Mario saw the laser ball coming at him full speed. It was too late to run for him, though. The blast hit Mario square in the chest, and sent him crashing into the wall.

"Too bad, Mario. I do know a flying pig. You! Ha, ha, I'm a hoot!", Bowser laughed. Mario really wished that Bowser's ugly mug wasn't the last thing he saw before he blacked out. Little did Mario know that this was only the beginning of his problems.

New Found Friends

Mario's head felt like a million pounds of helium were compacted into his skull. He instinctively reached up and touched his forehead, but he didn't feel any injury to his head, so he sat up and adjusted his hat.

"Sit down! You still look dazed.", A furry, human-like animal pushed Mario back down to his reclining position, "I still hurt badly from it, so maybe you`re hurting bad too. Just don't move too much, okay?"

"Whoa? What the? Where?", Mario had so many questions. His vision was just coming back to normal when he saw the narrow, fox-faced person that had settled him back down.

"AH!!!!! Whata in the world??!!", Mario exclaimed, then moved himself away and bumped into the elf-eared man sitting next to him, "My God! I'm surrounded bya mutants!!"

"They're not mutants, Mario. They are our friends.", a stronger, ape-like creature strode over to Mario on his knuckles, "They are different because one's Hylian and the other's Vulpian. Not everyone is human, you know."

"Donkey Kong? Could that be you?", Mario wiped his eyes, then nodded in disbelief, "Ita is! Gooda night, what brings you here?"

"I wonder that too. K. Rool's dead, after all.", Donkey Kong shrugged, then talked to one of the others, "Yoshi, remember Mario?"

Yoshi, a green dinosaur about four feet tall, had a very sharp memory. Mario and he had been best friends since they were born. He may not be as sharp as a tack, but he was happy to see Mario once again.

"Bing ing, oh bong bong!!!", Yoshi began profusely licking Mario's face, and the Italian barely had any time to push Yoshi back and catch his breath.

"It's gooda to see you too.", Mario laughed, then gave Yoshi a hug. Yoshi hugged him back, and then they let go, glad to be back together.

"It's good toa also see you, D.K.", Mario sighed, then laid down again. That blast had given him quite the case of weariness.

"Tired? So am I. I don't think anyone took the blast worst than Fox did, though.", the elf-man commented, then put his muscular arms behind his head.

"Nah, I'm okay. See? Oh!!", Fox tried standing up, but he fell right back down on his rear, "I should stay down, I guess."

"Good. We should introduce Mario to ourselves.", the elf nodded, and then stuck out his hand, "My name is Link. My occupation is dragon slaying, princess saving, etc. The works."

"Pika, pik pika pikachu!", a little yellow rodent rambled in front of Mario. He cocked his head, and then realized that the animal was a type of Poke'mon.

"Shall I come out know?", a dark, mysterious voice asked. Mario snapped his head over and saw an armored person sitting in a position that made it look like a pile of armor. A flash of green lit up the eyes of the helmet on the suit. Mario jumped and started to scream like a little girl.

"Samus! Must you scare the living daylights out of him?", Link snapped. Two blinking lights flew out of his long hat, and they lit up the prison room a lot.

"All right. My apologies, Mario. I am Samus Aran, and I like being single, so don't ask.", Samus joked back. Mario thought that she had a strange sense of humor.

"Hey, Mario! Do you have any food on you?", a small, fat ball asked aloud, "I tried eating the fox, but he said no."

"He'sa got a point. All I have is a mushroom, but if that's all right with you . . .", Mario began, but was quickly interrupted.

"Fine with me! I'm starving.", the pink ball grabbed the mushroom out of Mario's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Mario and the others store in terror at the speed at which Kirby had eaten it.

"Oh, yeah. My name's Kirby! Sorry about that.", Kirby excused his bad behavior. He shook hands with Mario, then plopped down carelessly on Fox's tail. Fox took his tail in his hands and moved it out from underneath Kirby's bulk to the other side of his legs. Mario thought that having a tail was pretty hard to take care of.

"Name's Fox McCloud. Pretty much just the leader of a mercenary unit, not much else.", Fox mumbled. Kirby's bulk had nearly crushed his tail, so he wasn't too happy.

"Well, what are we going to do now?", Link asked aloud, "Sitting in here rotting isn't helping us at all. I'm sure that we aren't getting any bit healthier stuck here and I know that Ganondorf won't feed us."

"No food?", Kirby gasped, then pressed a hand over his heart, "I'll wither away." Everybody rolled their eyes at this statement.

"He's right. We do need to get out as soon as possible. Some of us have faster metabolisms.", Fox nodded, and very carefully stood up. This time he didn't fall down. "If there is any way out . . ."

Samus jumped to her feet. Without warning she started to tap rapidly against the walls. Link and Mario simultaneously cocked their heads in wonder, pondering Samus' acts.

"I'm testing the walls for a weak spot. I don't think these guys or whoever Ganondorf is would be smart enough to build these walls entirely too strong.", Samus explained, carefully continuing to tap against the walls. Suddenly a hollow sound rung back, and Samus knew that this was what she was looking for.

"Cana we break it?", Mario asked, noticing the dismay coming off of Samus' expression.

"If anyone can, I can.", Donkey Kong wound up his arm, and went over to the wall. Pikachu and Yoshi exchanged looks of worry before they knew just how hard Donkey Kong could hit a wall.

The impact was like that of a thousand iron balls crashing into the wall. It was about that loud too. Yoshi, Pikachu, Kirby, and Fox were all sent backwards; since they were lightweight, they couldn't handle the harder blows as well as the others.

"Gee, I hope Dark Matter didn't hear that in China!", Kirby snapped at Donkey Kong. He squirmed through the hole first.

"Well, sssoooorrrrrrry!!! I was just trying to get us out.", Donkey Kong snapped back, then squeezed himself through the newly made hole, "Let's get moving, okay?"

"Fine with me. I'm not the one to like sitting in prisons all my life.", Samus remarked, then turned into a ball-like form. Mario's eyebrows shot up about four feet. Samus rolled through the hole with little effort, except for having Link pick her up to the hole, and then she popped up all right in her normal form on the other side.

"She's a little bit of a show-off, Mario. That was just a trick she picked up somewhere in Brinstar.", Link quipped, then squeezed through the hole. He barely fit, which kind of scared Mario. What if he couldn't get through? Nah, Mario thought, I can geta through fine.

Fox noticed that the other people still in the prison cell were too short to get out. Donkey Kong had hit the hole kind of high. He picked up Pikachu and pushed him through, then bent down so Yoshi could run through.

"Want help?", Fox asked Mario.

"Sure.", Mario answered. Fox dropped to the floor, and Mario stepped up on him like a footstool.

"Please hurry.", Fox groaned. Mario forgot that he was heavier than the younger space cadet, so he squirmed up into the hole. There was one problem in Mario's escape.

When you're over-weight and trying to go through a little hole, you're stuck like a fly to flypaper.

Outfoxed

"Guys, I'ma stuck!!", Mario yelled. Samus snapped around to see Mario half way out and half way still in the cell. She quickly went up to Mario and started yanking.

"Samus, that's a guy's job!", Donkey Kong yelped, then wrapped his arms around her torso. Link grabbed D.K., and then Yoshi grabbed him. Everyone that was out quickly made a chain, and started yanking as hard as they could.

"Fox, throw your weight into it!", Link yelled. He started to drag his heels into the floor, but that did little help.

"I am! I don't want to be stuck here!", came the muffled voice of Fox's. He groaned as he continued to push Mario.

"That makes sense.", Kirby moaned, "He's not up to my strength because he doesn't get enough food!"

"Funny! I would laugh only if I WEREN'T IN HERE!!!!", Fox yelped. His metallic boots began scraping along the floor from the pressure.

Donkey looked for a spot that was near the hole. He abruptly stopped pulling Mario out and stood closer to Mario. He looked back to the others and said, "Back up."

The gigantic-muscled ape started whapping his fist into several different areas of the hole where Mario was stuck. A couple of chips of the wall started to flick out of the wall, freeing Mario a little more. Just as freedom was at Mario's hand, clanking of boots were wringing throughout the hallway that led to the prison.

"Mario, twist!", Donkey Kong stated swiftly, "Koopa Troopas are coming fast on your six."

Mario flapped his legs in the air and twisted fast. He twirled out a section of the wall, enabling him to slide out. Just as he squirmed out Fox rolled out himself. They were lucky; Koopa Troopas were right outside the door.

"Hey, weren't there prisoners in here?", one asked.

"Yeah, but where did they go?", the other responded.

"ACK!!! They escaped!!!! Bowser's gonna have our heads on a platter if we don't find them!", the first yelled, then started running in stupid circles, trying to calm down.

Link slid up to the hole and looked out. He started to snicker at the sight of the Koopa Troopas flipping out. At that noise, the Koopa Troopas stopped and saw Link.

"There they are! GET THEM!!!!!!!!", the second Koopa yelled. Unfortunately, for the Troopas anyway, a couple of shots blasted over Link's head and into the Koopas. They fell on the ground and couldn't hop up, so they could attack back. Link looked behind him and saw Fox's blaster and Samus' arm cannon smoking.

"Sharpshooter. Okay. Another job occupation. Let's get out of here.", Fox mumbled, and crept ahead into the dark alleyway behind the prisoner cell.

The two blinking lights that came from Link's hat began to fly out in the front of Fox, and Mario had to wonder about this. What where they?

"Navi and Tatl. These are my two fairies. Quite cute, aren't they?", Link beamed, then resumed humming a song that sounded familiar in a alienated way to Mario.

"Yes. Do fairies taste good?", Kirby asked. At this nearly everyone laughed. Little did they know that someone was creeping up upon them.

It was Dark Matter, Kirby's nemesis. Dark Matter was just that, a floating gas with fiery eyes. Its job was to track Kirby and take care of him the best way possible. It hated him, and it wanted Kirby to be destroyed. Instead, it had thought of a better plan.

Samus, who was now in the lead, kept marching ahead at a fast pace. Everyone was able to keep up with her, but Kirby was stumbling and couldn't go as fast. This was exactly what Dark Matter wanted.

Kirby fell over again. Just as he was going to get back up, Dark Matter clouded his path. Kirby knew all too late that he was caught, but he didn't expect Dark Matter to do what happened.

Dark Matter entered Kirby's body through his mouth, and floated its way into Kirby's mind. It settled in, and Kirby was instantly enslaved without any problem. It would be Kirby now, and it decided to return to Bowser.

"Uh oh. Fork in the road.", Samus stated.

"This isn't any bit good.", Donkey Kong agreed, "Mario, do you recognize this place? I don't, and I feel like you do."

"Yesa. This isa Bowser's Castle. It's all beginning to clicka now.", Mario nodded, then took his spot as leader, "Left."

Pikachu swerved his ears around a couple of times. He was wondering where Kirby was. This worried Pikachu, but to keep up with the others he had to go ahead. Pikachu knew that Kirby would eventually return.

"Bing ing? Oing, akkouu Yoshi. Bing o bong bong!!", Yoshi started talking. Mario was relatively familiar with Yoshi's language.

"He'sa asking where youa came from, Link.", Mario translated.

"Oh. I guess I forgot to tell you.", Link blushed, "I come from a country called Hyrule. It is a beautiful land, and it has many animals. Some are good, like the Keatons, but others are bad, like the Keese. My trusty mare Epona and I battle Ganondorf in this land. Ganondorf would be my enemy. He has captured Princess Zelda so many times, I forget to count."

"That's nice. My job isn't as fun.", Samus remarked, "I work for money the most legal way possible without getting a job. Bounty hunting seemed fun, so I joined up on the Space Hunters team. I was just a little too good, so they sent me to battle the Mother Brain. She is an unusually large brain that controls Zebes and unfortunately the Metroids that live on it. Metroids are a type of alien that we expect to be living batteries, and if we were able to use them right, then the galaxy would never need fuel again. The Mother Brain and her two assistants, Kraid and Ridley, are going to make sure that these are used for weapons instead of free gas. She was an enemy of my mother, so I am going ahead mercilessly."

"Pika, pik pika . . . chu? A, pika pika. AH!", Pikachu sighed. The others had no idea of what he was saying, so that was a lost cause for a sentence. Pikachu began scuffing at the ground in anger.

"Since the mouse has nothing more to say, I guess I should tell you guys a little about me. But, my past is rather, let's say, haunted.", Donkey Kong began, "I was originally a bad guy, brainwashed by Bowser. Almost killed Mario, almost never got a girl friend; I really am lucky Mario snapped me out of my stage of hypnosis. Now I have a girl, Candy, and I have a heck of a lot of family to take care of. It's gotten easier since I killed K. Rool, but still . . . Never a dull moment!"

"Ia have a girlfriend. Her name isa Peach, and she is the prettiest, loveliest girl I'vea ever met. But she's a little stupid, so Ia go and take ona Bowser every once in a while. My brother, Luigi, sometimes comes along, buta he's been staying home lately. Not much else toa know.", Mario told his story to the others. Pikachu nodded with interest as he walked along Mario's heels.

"Andross. . . .murdered my dad", Fox's voice shook as he told his story, "At least t-that's what the reports said. I-I was nearly destroyed inside when I heard about it, because my dad was the only family I ever knew. N-Nearly killed myself. Peppy Hare, my father's lieutenant, pulled me out, and we recruited a couple other guys. Now it's kill Andross or die, I feel like. I-I feel that my dad died because I didn't stop him."

"Hey, no problem there. My mom died because of Ganondorf, so you shouldn't feel so hurt like this alone, you know.", Link patted Fox on the back for support. Samus cocked her head in sympathy, and then grunted in slight discomfort.

"Let's get movinga. I'ma sure that you don'ta like the space in here.", Mario nodded, agreeing with Samus, and pressed on. Little did he know that he was leading the others to a minor surprise.

"HELLO, MAR-ON-IO!!!!! HOW THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!", came a gigantic, spitfire voice out of the air. Everyone stopped in their tracks and began looking around for speakers and camera recorders, so that they knew where they had failed in their evasive matters.

"HE HE HE!!!!!!!! HI, MR. MONKEY!!!!! GUESS WHO'S NOT DEAD AND WHO'S GONNA BE???????", rang another one. This time Donkey Kong dropped his jaw. "K. Rool . . .", he growled.

"HELLO, HERO OF TIME!!!!! I HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!", a third stormed, followed by screams in the background. Link began to curse; he didn't think that Princess Zelda would be here. He should of known better, Ganondorf being the way he was and so forth.

"HELLO, L.A!!! THIS IS THE THIRD MAMA, MOTHER BRAIN!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!", sung a forth and feminine voice. Samus slapped her hand to her forehead in embarrassment. It was bad enough that the Mother Brain's singing sucked, she had to go and make fun of the Mama's and the Papa's.

"HEY, AM I ON????? HOW DO YOU OPERATE THIS PIECE OF JUNK?!!?!!!?!!!", a fifth laughed, and then loud squeaking noise were heard over the sound system. Pikachu covered his ears in dismay. "YEAH, I GUESS IT WAS ON!!!!! HE HE!!!!!!!!!!"

"OH, GIVE ME THAT!!!! STUPID MORON, BUT I SUPPOSE HE WOULDN'T EVER AMOUNT OF INTELLEGENCE THAT I HAVE, RIGHT FOX?!?!?!? HE HA, NOPE!!!!!!!!!", the sixth one joked, and by the sound of it, he was the smart one. Fox's tail was kept closely to his legs, as if he was afraid of the sound of Andross' voice.

Suddenly, a trap door slid from underneath their feet, and they all tumbled down, unaware of what trouble they were going to get into.

In Flight Movie

While falling, Pikachu and Yoshi kept profusely squealing in fright. Link's two fairies went flying out of his hat once more, and he tried desperately to catch them. Mario felt as if he were a lifeless doll being tossed down a laundry shoot.

Donkey Kong landed first with a big plop and breaking of floor concrete. Samus landed next on top of the ape, then rolled off in pain. Link smacked onto the floor butt first, and moaned in agony. Next Mario landed on top of Link, then got off as soon as he heard Link grunt. Yoshi and Pikachu and the fortune of being able to land on one another, but Fox landed face down on D.K., imprinting his snout into the ape's belly and then having to pull himself up.

"Uh . . .Crud.", Samus growled in dizziness, "Oh, pretty colors . . . I mean, this sucks!! Right Mario?"

Mario wouldn't have been paying attention if Samus had a bullhorn and was yelling right in his ear. In front of him stood, or levitated, if you

prefer, the Mother Brain. She was like a gigantic mass of flesh, tubes, and brains, all compacted into a jar-like suspension container. His jaw dropped in awe and fear at her, his eyes bulging like if balloons had replaced them.

"Yes, my beauty is rather superior, isn't it?", the Mother Brain giggled, her voice sounding like several metallic squeals that were barely audible.

"Wha-wha-what the heck???!?!!", Mario squealed in fright. He ran backwards, trying to get away, when he ran into another not-so-nice guy.

Giovanni stood about six feet tall, and had a growling Persian by his side. It was a rather lovely Persian, but he hated everyone but his master. Giovanni's shaven head gleamed under the brown stubble that was growing on his head. A single, glaring brown eye gazed at Mario if he were fungus growing on dog scat.

"You touched my Persian. He doesn't like to be touched.", Giovanni sneered, then held Mario up by his neck, "Trying to hurt me, little punk?"

"Hey, cool it, Giovanni. Save somma that for me!", Bowser cackled as he appeared out of nowhere. He had stolen a red carpet from somewhere and was wearing it on his shoulders like a sort of really long robe. He whacked Mario on the head lightly with his magic wand, sending him down to the floor and out of Giovanni's grasp.

"I like torturing. It's fun.", Giovanni snarled, then sat in his chair. Persian jumped up onto his master's lap, nuzzled, and then sat down by Giovanni's chair.

"Yow!", Fox yelped in surprise. Andross, who was twice the size of the Bowser and King K. Rool combined, had grabbed Fox by his tail and was hanging him upside down. Fox felt his stomach lurch, wanting to regurgitate, but kept his body under control.

"Hello there, little one. Long time, no?", Andross cackled, and flipped Fox right side up into his hand. He could almost lie down in Andross' hand, it was so large. His mind was racing on how to squirm free, but he was trapped in the gargantuan fingers of Andross.

"Unfortunately, not long enough. Now could you put me down? I'm kind of being embarrassed to be here.", Fox responded, and spat into Andross' eyes. Andross wiped the spit away with his other hand and clenched harder onto Fox.

Link got out his bow and arrows in an attempt to free Fox from Andross' grip, but was startled when Ganondorf, the captor of Zelda and the Gerudo King of Thieves tackled him. Ganondorf looked like a golden sort of figure, glowing with the evilness of his power. Link jumped up and scrambled away fast enough.

"Too long no see, Andross. That's the way it is with these so-called heroes.", Ganondorf mocked, then went to noogieing Link's hair.

"Gah! I hate it when you noogie me!", Link snapped, and tried to kick Ganondorf where the sun doesn't shine. Ganondorf reacted by picking Link up and hauling him off on his shoulder.

"Bing? O bong.", Yoshi moaned as Bowser went to go get him too. He tried running away from the large dragon, but was caught and was tickled. Yoshi couldn't stop laughing, and then he began to hiccup.

"Yeah!! Pummel, pummel, pummel!!!!", K. Rool began to chant, and just as suddenly picked up D.K. and slammed him into the ground. Donkey Kong responded negatively to the attack and began to pack blows of fury at K. Rool. The two continued wrestling, and the Mother Brain started to shake her mind in dismay.

"Yeah. I know. This is stupid.", Samus agreed.

"Whatever makes them happy.", the Mother Brain chortled, then yelled, "You dorks!! We have a plan and people to execute!!"

Andross loosened his grip on Fox and looked at the Mother Brain for a moment. He nodded discontentedly and signaled the others to follow her lead. Meanwhile Fox gasped for breath, grateful that Andross had stopped.

"I suppose she's right.", Bowser sighed, then began to direct the others, "All right. Kremlings, Koopas, lock them up in . . .THE TORTURE TUBES!!!!"

"Oh, he'sa got to bea kidding me.", Mario moaned. He put a hand over his eyes and groaned in sheer embarrassment. He thought that some days Bowser could be rather dumb, but this topped it off. Bowser no longer had the cunning of naming his inventions anymore.

Huge Kremlings hauled D.K. off, while the rest were just as easy to move by Koopa Troopas. Pikachu tried thunder-shocking his captor, but the Koopa's shell armor kept him safe. Yoshi looked behind the back of the Koopa Troopa taking him away and cried for Mario to help him.

Seven large, gray-colored tubes stood against a wall in this hidden passageway. They seemed to be made of some sort of plastic, but it looked like there wasn't any way to pierce the outer shell. Mario knew then that escaping would be near impossible.

"Youa weren't kidding, wera you?", Mario gasped, "I thinka we have a little bit of a problem, thena." The Koopa holding him threw him in and locked the doors.

"Oh, you don't know how bad it'll get, Mario.", Bowser snarled, "You have no idea."

Suddenly water-like goop started to trickle into the tubes. D.K. moaned in disgust. Link quickly switched into his Zora tunic, becoming prepared for this sort of disaster. Pikachu and Yoshi hollered in worry and fear at this situation. Samus' suit would supply her with oxygen, but she doubted how long the others would last.

"You're a filthy scumbag, Andross!", Fox hissed, "My team will come, and when they do . . ."

"And when they do I'll crush them, along with anyone else.", Andross interrupted Fox with a harsh cackle. Fox stared him straight in the eye, unflinching at the thought of his death and of his teammates.

"Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow.", Ganondorf laughed, "Isn't that right, Zelda?"

Princess Zelda was dragged out by the other guards. Link's mouth dropped and he desperately tried to break free of his prison and save her. She was all right, compared to the others, but she did look scared and shocked.

"Link!", she screamed, and fought to break loose. She was suppressed by the guards though, and she had to look teary eyed at Link's horrible fate.

"Mario!! Do you have any of those mushrooms??", D.K. asked, his body jumping to get away from the seeping liquid. Mario's eyebrows shot up in excitement, and he began to search his pockets.

"Holya smokes!!", Mario smiled as he felt a mushroom in his pocket. Knowing that as his job as the leader of his new friends, he had to use this and free them. It was his duty, as the leader of the new founded Super Smash Brothers, to help his friends and lead them towards victory!

Superman

"Bing bong!!", Yoshi moaned in dismay. His knees were now submerged in the liquid, and he knew it wouldn't be too long before he was a goner.

Mario swallowed his mushroom in one gulp. Instantly he began to feel his legs and body growing. The others noticed what he was doing and gasped in fright. Bowser and his evil legion gapped open-mouthed as Mario burst forth from his tube.

"All righta, Bowser. Let's settle this, mana to dragon!!", Mario bellowed. His voice was amplified nearly tri-fold with his growth, not to mention his strength and power. Fox and Pikachu had to cover their ears from the loud noises.

"Bring it on, plunger boy!!", Bowser yelled back, and they began to battle. His evil legion and Mario's group watched in awe as they began to fight.

Donkey Kong knew that he and the others had to get out quickly, but few of them possessed the power to do so. He also recognized that he could perhaps free them all fast-like, so he started to hammer against his tube glass. His muscles worked like mad, sweat pouring down his face as the liquid grew up to his chest.

"Pika, ka pi pi!!!", Pikachu squealed in fear. Every time he tried to thunder-shock his way out, the attack would reflect into the water and come right back at him amplified. He cried in the pandemonium, knowing that he was going to die.

"Calm down!!", Fox shouted, and started to whack the back of his laser against the tube wall between Pikachu and him. It ruptured easily, strangely enough, and then Fox went back to breaking his tube's outer shell. Pikachu jumped up onto his back and held on tight.

Link tried drilling his sword into the surface of his tube, but it just dented the surface. He then grabbed his Megaton Hammer, and then whammed that instrument against the glass-like plastic. It shattered into little bits, and Link jumped out, ready to kick Ganondorf's butt!

Donkey Kong wound up a major punch, finally confident that he could get out. As he shattered his glass, K. Rool decided that he had had enough of this monkey play and went to attack the gigantic ape. D.K. responded just as lethally as K. Rool did, and they began to butt heads.

"Bing bong gig AAA!!!!", Yoshi squeaked at the top of his voice. Mario looked away from his blazing battle with Bowser and remembered that his teammates were counting on him to get them out of the castle. He turned his attention back to Bowser and started assaulting him more ferociously than ever.

Bowser blew a gigantic wave of fire at Mario, making the plumber scramble to get out of the way. He quickly grabbed a near-by Koopa Troopa and threw him at Bowser, making the dragon crash to the floor. But Bowser was anything but done.

The mighty king breathed another fire formation at Mario, but this time Mario could not escape. The fire circled around him, keeping him in Bowser's sites. Mario knew that he couldn't let Yoshi down, or the Princess.

Peach!, Mario thought, I totallya forgot about her. Is she okay?

"I think it's time that youa get somea back up, Mario!", a voice laughed behind him. Mario turned to see Luigi, his younger brother, come up behind him and smack Bowser to the ground. He chuckled in happiness; now that Luigi was here, everything was going to be all right. Toad, Peach's assistant, came a few seconds behind Luigi, his royal princess safe with him.

"Mario! You kick Bowser's butt!" , Peach called out.

"Ia will, honey!!", Mario yelled back, gladder than ever to be fighting for the princess. Some days it would really suck, but in the end it was always worth it to Mario.

"Yo, D.K! You look like you need some help!", someone responded to the actions D.K. was taking against K. Rool. The entire D.K. Crew, Diddy, Lanky, Candy, Tiny, Dixie, Kiddy, Funky, Chunky, and Professor Cranky started to smacked around some more Kremlings, keeping them out of Donkey Kong's fur. The gigantic Kong was now more able to beat King K. Rool and not have someone clinging onto him.

"Dear lord, Fox, look at yourself! See what you get into when you don't have me around?", a tall blue avian laughed. It was Falco Lombardi, here with the rest of the Star Fox team. Lombardi and Peppy Hare, Fox's source of wisdom, were able to successfully punch out their leader, who was about neck-deep into the goop and had Pikachu clinging to the top of his head.

"Let's get Andross . . .No, wait! Go get Yoshi free. I'll get Samus out!", Fox directed the rest of his teammates into the battle. Falco looked like a rabid dog, wanting to tear Andross to bits. Pikachu jumped off of Fox's head and went to thunder-shock Giovanni.

"Persian! Attack!", Giovanni bellowed, but it was too late. Pikachu slammed his electric-charged body into Giovanni, and sent the evil leader of Team Rocket blasting off again.

"Pika!", Pikachu waved his arms good-bye. His trainer, Ash Ketchum, then ran in and picked up his Poke'mon, wondering what on earth was going on. He just sighed and played with Pikachu's ears, glad to have his faithful companion back.

Yoshi spilled out of his jar after Slippy Toad, Fox's mechanic, broke him loose. He was dizzy because the jelly in the tube smelt funny, and he began to walk around in circles. He ran into Bowser, sending the dinosaur wheeling around once more and bowling into Ganondorf.

"O bing?", Yoshi asked as his eyes re-adjusted. They locked onto the Mother Brain and he went off into an eccentric style of karate. The Mother Brain tried to move away from the crazed and dizzy Yoshi, but it was hard and useless.

"I'm retreating.", the Mother Brain called out, "I'll be back, Samus!!"

Samus Aran didn't care too much about what the Mother Brain had to say. Her arm cannon wasn't popping her loose quick, and her life support was running out. She didn't want to try to blast the plastic covering loose, as it could rebound back at her, but she was afraid that it would have to come to it soon enough.

"Need help?", Fox fired his blaster from the outside, rupturing the covering off of the tube. Samus stepped out of the mess and jumped down, taking in a lot of oxygen as she almost suffocated in the tube. Fox was behind her a few steps, and he took time to re-charge his strength too. Then he went off, his feet barely touching the floor, to go pummel Andross.

About that time, Kammy Koopa, Bowser's magikoopa assistant, ran in as fast as her legs could carry her. The melee stopped as she ran in. She then scurried to Bowser.

"Um, your royal wretchedness, we have a problem.", Kammy whispered. Everyone crept in to her what she had to say.

"Well, what is it? I'm kind of busy beating up plunger boy right now . . .", Bowser growled in impatience. He began rapidly tapping his foot against the floor. For some reason, all of the Super Smash Bros. friends ran out of the room and outside. Ash had even left Pikachu here!!

"This building's about to collapse. You kept ramming into the walls and the supports are about . . .", Kammy began, but then some more rumbling noises began to strike up. Ganondorf began using his magical triforce powers to transport all of the bad guys out of the building. Unfortunately, the Super Smash Bros. had no time to escape.

To summarize all of the shrieking and pandemonium in one sentence, the building collapsed on all of them, trapping them underneath and knocking them unconscious.

All's well that ends well . . .Kind of . . .

Mario woke up in a room that was bare of any decoration and had six different gurneys all in a row next to him. His eyes adjusted and saw that the one next to him was Donkey Kong, and it looked like he had been hit on the head with a brick. Mario looked further around and realized that they were in a Toad House, a place were people could rest and heal.

"Ugh . . .", a weak voice asked, "What . . .What happened?"

"Pika pika chu. Pik ahhh!", Pikachu moaned. He sat up and then went to the first speaker, Samus, and started to get pet.

"Where's my tail??", Fox nearly screamed in horror, "Oh, there it is. Silly me." His face almost went red in embarrassment.

"Hey, do you think Zelda could come in here and give me a kiss, now?", Link laughed, then groaned as he sat up.

"How did we get out of there, anyway?", D.K. asked, then wiped the sleepy dust out of his eyes.

"O biiiiiiiing ing bong . . .", Yoshi began to sing. He really lost a lot of his marbles in the accident.

"I think what happened is that when that house fell, we must have been closer to the top of the pile and were able to be dug out. Then we were taken here to recover.", Samus nodded, feeling sure of herself. Then she started to itch Pikachu really fast, and the Poke'mon began to thump his foot.

"Where's Kirby?", Fox questioned. Everyone gasped when they finally realized that he wasn't with them. They looked at each other, wondering what happened.

"I have a feeling thata we'll know soon enough. Don'ta worry about hima now, Fox.", Mario responded, feeling that that answer was pretty wise. "Let's go home, guys. This visit to Mushroom Kingdom's all right, but I want to go home to my love.", Link sighed, and then got that mushy look in his eyes. Everyone had to agree; it was time to end the adventure.

Mario and Yoshi began to trot home. D.K. had gone back to Kong Island via go-kart. Link had gotten to Hyrule with his mare, Epona. Samus' home was rather a huge spaceship that looked like a sprawling creature of sorts, and luckily for her it was next door to the Toad House. Fox McCloud had to drive Pikachu back to Kanto so Ash could have him back, and then flew back up to his team's starship, the Great Fox.

Yoshi was happily singing, glad to be returning home. He escorted Mario all the way to Peach's Castle, then trotted down the lane to get to his home, Yoshi Island. Mario had to laugh at the little dinosaur, because no matter how old he got, he was always a kid.

Mario got this strange feeling when he was sleeping that night. He looked out his window and saw something large shoot past his window, followed by a small thing. He looked out and saw Aran's Pride and a small Arwing playing some sort of imaginary tag. He laughed at the sight of this until he looked up into the stars.

A message was written up in the sky, and it said, "Thanks for the trip, Mario. Hope to see you again."

"I hope to see youa too, guys.", Mario sighed, then threw himself back into bed. Throughout the night Mario dreamt of sweet candies and Peach.

Epilogue

Kirby stared out the window of Bowser's new castle. He glared out the window, staring at the castle far in the distance that was Peach's. He growled a little bit, then snickered at it.

"You don't know what's going to happen to you, simple plumber.", he cackled, "You have no idea at all."

The End

Author's note:

Okey-dokey. So this was my first story. Originally Fox got himself into more trouble than necessary and they all got rewards at the end, but I felt that was unnecessary for this story. Mario must be the main focus in this story, because this is the one I based more around him. I'm sorry to say that I won't have such a story for Kirby since he is evil now.

Of course, things could change . . .

Why did I decide to type this? Because one day, my head got the idea, "Hey, what would happen if Mario fought Giovanni for a change? How would Ganondorf get rid of the Star Fox team?". It's something that simple that inspired me to write nearly nine stories about this.

Okay, so my ending speech stinks. So what? If you're still reading this, I'm happy and know that I've done my job well. Thank you for taking the few minutes of your day to read this.
