Super Smash Bros.

Part 3: The Rebirth

Written by Zelda's Fox 38

Author's Pre-note:

Yet again, this whole piece of crud is copyrighted by Nintendo, and if it ain't, then something's gone horribly wrong . . .

Prologue:

"Andross, are you guys done in there yet?!?!?", Bowser yelled. Ganondorf and Andross were taking forever to create some sort of potion to revive Kirby, and Bowser had little patience for all of this. He always wanted things done fast because then it would lead him to smashing Mario quicker.

Mario, the leader of the Super Smash Brothers, was everything Bowser hated; good, kind, helpful, caring, it made him upchuck every time he thought of it. And now that he had his little friends D.K., Link, Samus, Yoshi, Fox, and Pikachu, he became even better liked. It was sickening in Bowser's eyes.

Luckily, Bowser was able to kidnap one of Mario's friends, Kirby, and brainwash his mind to work for the Legion of Doom, where he, K. Rool, Ganondorf, the Mother Brain, Andross, and Giovanni would come up with new ways to kick their butts. But what Bowser wasn't counting on was that they all had similarities to the one that they fought against; Fox was clever and intelligent, Link was strong and able to harness his powers in the triforce, and Mario was a master of fire and demanded a lot of respect too.

So that didn't last long. The fiends had destroyed Kirby with fire, a swiftly made plan, and Link's Master Sword. If Link hadn't dealt that final blow to Kirby, the Super Smash Bros. would have lost Fox in the melee along with him. That was what made Bowser especially sick, helping others.

He knew that his day of revenge would come soon enough, though. Mario would be defeated if it was the last thing he'd do! Even if he was on his dying breath, Bowser would see to it that he killed Mario.

"Just about, o hasty one.", Ganondorf cackled back. Some sort of animal screeched within the room, and Bowser began to have second thoughts. They were doing something pretty weird in there.

Suddenly the doors burst open to reveal a small, three-foot ball of pink flesh. Bowser started yipping in joy; he now had his weapon back. But what really surprised him was what followed after Kirby.

An icy-blue Yoshi-like animal sped out of the laboratory and started chewing on the chair that Bowser was sitting in. He had a red dog collar on that was spiked all around, just like a pit-bull's. His teeth were also very sharp; they punctured large holes into Bowser's chair.

"Ganondorf . . .What is this lovely creature, here?", Bowser asked in a little bit of annoyance. He didn't want tooth marks in his chair, but he liked his furious ways and evil attitude. The Yoshi had a pair of sunglasses on, for crying out loud!!

"We call him Boshi. Short for Bad Yoshi.", Ganondorf cooed, "Isn't he just menacing?"

"Yeah, so, what does it do?", Bowser continued, wanting to know more about this creature. He didn't want it to be terminated, but if it was useless, then he would have to see to it.

"He revives things, but with a twist. They're born evil, making their old selves long forgotten. But don't worry about Dark Matter.", Andross whispered, as if someone else were listening to him, "He's still in Kirby, taking care of any problems. A really nice thing about Boshi is that if he eats one of the Super Smash Brothers, he gives birth to an evil replica of them and then produces another egg with them still in it. Quite nice, right?"

"Let me guess: new capture plan.", Bowser guessed.

"Bingo.", Ganondorf cackled.

Birthrights

Yoshi and his friends sat on D.K.'s front verandah, sipping on another one of Donkey's special banana milkshake. They had been there for a few days, to relax and ease their pains from the previous battle that they were in. Well, almost everyone; Fox was in constant contact with the rest of his team.

Yoshi moved his straw around in the milkshake some more. He stuck it up his nose and snorted it in, drinking from the straw the wrong way. Yoshi had never had to use a straw in his life so he had no idea how to use one.

"Yoshi, gross.", Samus Aran proclaimed, "You put it in your mouth, silly."

Yoshi looked at the straw for a moment, then tried drinking through it. He found it to work much better. The dinosaur sucked too hard though and his straw flew to the back of his throat.

Mario dug his hand inside of Yoshi's mouth and pulled it out before he could choke on it. The little dinosaur squealed happily, then went back to drinking his treat. Mario shook his head and threw the straw away.

"Next timea, you won't bea using a straw.", Mario sighed, then went back into his chair once more. Taking care of Yoshi was sometimes a pain in the butt.

The calm, relaxed mood was shattered into pieces when all of a sudden Diddy Kong and his little friends came tearing up to the porch. Pikachu jumped to attention and ran to Samus' lap, fearing that his tail would be stepped on. D.K. grumbled as he awoke, trying to nap again because he was absolutely exhausted.

"Uncle Donkey, can you come play a game with us? Please, please, please??", Diddy began to beg his uncle. Donkey Kong laughed, then got up out of his lawn chair. He mussed up his nephew's hair, then went off to play with them.

"Don't steal my chair. I'll be back.", D.K. called over his shoulder.

Yoshi, of course, had no shame in stealing Donkey's seat, so he jumped up into it and took a nap. Link rolled his eyes, then leaned back in his own chair and started to play with his two fairies, Navi and Tatl.

A little later:

"You'd better be smarter than that green pile of puke that we call Yoshi.", Wolf O'Donnell sneered at Boshi. The latter growled back, trying to be tough as he actually was. Wolf shook his head, then began to search for one of the Super Smash Brothers again. He was waiting for one of them to coming, waiting, waiting . . .

Suddenly Donkey Kong appeared out of the brush to his left. The large ape didn't see him hiding in the foliage; he had other things to worry about right now. Wolf's face had an atrocious smile creep upon it, and he leapt to attack him.

D.K. felt the canine strike him down from behind him. He struggled to throw him to the ground, but Wolf wasn't as weak as his rival, Fox. The ape and canine took to trying to subdue each other, but had no luck.

Boshi stuck out his tongue and swallowed Donkey up like spaghetti. Then he laid two eggs, one pure white and another black as ebony. Wolf picked himself off then ground, then helped haul the eggs back to his ship. It wasn't all what he wanted, but it would do.

Back at D.K.'s:

"Someone's got to go look for my uncle!", Diddy complained again, "He wouldn't be gone this long; he isn't good at hiding at all!!"

Samus was quite worried. Someone that could take on D.K. must have been extremely strong. Mario was just as concerned because he didn't want to send one of his team members to find him.

"I'll go. I'm sneaky; if something did capture Donkey, they won't find me.", Fox volunteered. Mario had to mentally laugh in spite of this problem; of course Fox would go first, he always did that before-hand with his Star Fox team. They always depended on his wisdom and stealth, and perhaps that's what Mario needed now.

"Fine. Justa be careful, Fox. You'rea susceptible to the jungle; ifa anything gets you, you're a goner.", Mario nodded. Fox jumped to his feet, then ran into the jungle to find the where-a-bouts of Donkey Kong. Mario pondered if he was doing the right thing, then sat down on the verandah steps once more.

Link summoned one of his fairies, Navi, to go and look out for him, and to be his light in the dimming darkness surrounding Kong Island. The jungle would be no doubt dark by the time he came back, if he came back at all.

"Bing.", Yoshi moaned in despair.

At Wolf O'Donnell's Wolfen II:

"Yes, K. Rool. Yep, uh huh. Good night. Yeah, I'll get them.", Wolf O'Donnell shut off his cellular phone. King K. Rool was ecstatic when he heard about Donkey Kong already being cloned. Wolf personally wasn't pleased; he wanted to bag McCloud instead of this fleabag.

Suddenly he heard a little rustle. He looked around to see nothing; the night had finally set in. He turned on his ship's lights only to see nothing again. Wolf growled; he could sense someone was there.

Fox hid under a bush, grateful that he hadn't shown even with the lights on. Navi hid behind one of his ears, scared and lonely since she was apart from Link. Fox barely touched her with his fingertips to reassure her that everything was all right.

He felt his heart pound inside of his chest like a kettledrum. Fox closed his eyes, his breathing a little staggered, and opened them again. He had to keep calm, no matter what.

"Bing!", Boshi cried out, then pounced where Fox was hiding. The Vulpian was able to roll away, but got deeply scraped in the process. His arm bled heavily, but he didn't stop to think about it. He rushed off as his feet would take him, hoping to escape.

"Get him!!", Wolf shrieked. The dinosaur took off, running at least as fast as Fox. How McCloud escaped him he still didn't know, but he felt finally safe once he emerged through the foliage to see Samus packing a couple of shots behind him.

Boshi turned around and ran back to Wolf. He had pursued Fox as far as he could, so now he would just have to retreat. He hated defeat, but he would have to take it for now.

"Mama mia, Fox. Your arm, oha man.", Mario held Fox's arm out and observed the deep wound Boshi had cut into it. Link quickly took Navi back into his possession, lucky to still have her, then helped Fox wobble to the porch.

"D.K. . . .He's captured by Wolf. That dinosaur . . . O . . .Ouch.", Fox pitifully moaned. He should have stayed back, he knew, but he couldn't have let the others go blindly into it.

"Calm down. Donkey Kong probably has a bandage somewhere. You just take a seat and relax.", Samus spoke, then went into D.K.'s house to find a first aid kit. Pikachu jumped up onto Fox's lap, then looked at his arm.

"Pika?", Pikachu questioned. He was just as worried as the others, though he wouldn't be able to tell it as easily as the others.

"You goinga to be okay, Fox?", Mario asked. The plumber was beginning to feel sick from all of the blood that had been shed out of Fox's wound. He had been able to stop it with his jacket, but it was too drenched with blood to put back on.

"We've got to go, right now!", Fox yelped, "Wolf's going to find us, eventually. Just take the kit with you, Samus."

"Let'sa go!", Mario hopped into his go-kart and set course for the Mushroom Kingdom. It would be safest for everyone there. The Super Smash Brothers saddled themselves into their modes of transportation, from Samus' Hunter IV edition spacecraft to Link's horse, Epona. They had to run, and the sooner the better.

Crying Wolf

Wolf O'Donnell saddled up his portable hover-cycle, ready to pursue the remains of the Super Smash Brothers at his own expense. Boshi was going to stay here at the Wolfen II sot that no one would steal the precious eggs. That was fine with Wolf; the fewer people to worry about, the better.

He was at their wild run's end in five minutes. Samus and Fox were racing for the front, the others barely following them. Epona whinnied when she heard the hovercraft approaching them rapidly from behind, catching Link's attention. The two go-karts (Pikachu was in Samus' Hunter IV) were threateningly close to Wolf, which was quite the advantage in his case.

"Bing!!", Yoshi saw O'Donnell coming, and braked in fear. The hover-cycle shot over him, then circled back to finish him off. A blaster was clenched in Wolf's free hand, it smoking with the pleasure of shooting Yoshi soon.

The dinosaur was much too clever for Wolf. Even though he looked and acted like a little child, his mind was full of cunning plans. Yoshi pressed his foot to the floor of his go-kart, and then he zoomed ahead to meet Wolf head on.

The Lupian didn't expect a head-on collision for an attack, so he tried to swerve out of the way. In his attempts, he ran into a tree that was in his path. Wolf's head spun, then he clunked to the ground unconscious.

"Gooda job, Yoshi!!", Mario called over his shoulder, "That'sa the way to do it!!"

"Bing!!", Yoshi called back, just as proud of himself as Mario was. The dinosaur didn't need much in life to please him, so a few words of praise always gave him enough happiness.

"Hold on. I'm going ahead.", Fox blasted his Arwing faster into the atmosphere, boosting ahead right into the courtyard of Peach's castle. He and Samus held in the air for a few moments, then slowly lowered themselves down. The others were there within minutes.

Peach ran out to Mario's go-kart and enveloped him in a hug. Mario was always glad to get to Princess Peach Toadstool's castle; it was like a sanctuary from the world for him. This would be a good place to rest up a little bit, then plan on how to go about recovering Donkey Kong.

"Honey, whata the heck are you doing here?", Peach asked aloud after she finished hugging him. Mario's face went a little red, then he lightly pushed Fox closer to her so she could see his wound. She gasped, then clapped her hands.

"Toad, Toad, come here quick!", she yelled, "We have a little emergency."

A little dwarfed person ran up to Peach's side, then took a quick look at Fox's injury. He then scuttled into the palace, pulling a reluctant Fox with him to help heal his arm. Mario nodded him ahead, and Fox didn't resist anymore.

"We have got to make a plan. Donkey Kong was kidnapped by a raptor-like Yoshi and Wolf O'Donnell.", Samus explained their reasoning for being here. Peach growled at the thought of Wolf; he was a well-known scoundrel.

"Bing. Oi, bong bong!! Yeeeooooo, bing!", Yoshi tried to converse with Peach too, although it was a little bit difficult for him. The princess nodded though; she always tried to be nice to animals.

"Wella, I have enough spare bed rooms. You guys cana sleep there tonight.", Peach welcomed the other Super Smash Brothers in, "I'll also have thea cooks get youa breakfast."

"Thank you, miss.", Link responded, always a proper gentlemen in the presence of royalty. Pikachu bounded in first, then the others followed him in. The poke'mon raced up the steps, then bounded into the first bedroom he saw and fell asleep. Yoshi joined him in the race and jumped into the next bedroom, also falling into dreamland before he hit the bed.

"Hea fell asleep before hea hit the pillow.", Mario joked, then climbed up the stairs. Everyone followed his lead and got their own rooms. Later Fox came back with his arm bandaged and cleaned, and he just took Mario's floor and decided that would be just fine for him. Everyone settled down for the night and enjoyed the random thoughts running through their dreams.

At the Legion of Doom's headquarters in Pop Star:

"Well, you're lucky that you didn't kill yourself, fool.", Giovanni sneered at Wolf, "Outsmarted by a Yoshi. How foolish are you?"

"He's smarter than you.", Bowser whispered, then brought the legion back to their main concern, "So you got Donkey Kong. Very good. Take him to the incubation room, O'Donnell."

Andross was pleased to hear that Fox had outsmarted Wolf, actually. He wanted his opponent to be a little bit of a challenge, and this proved that his wits were growing again. He always preferred a bit of a fight when he tackled foes.

Bowser looked at the clock. It was nearly midnight. He knew that he needed to get to sleep eventually, but he had so much energy coursing throughout his body that he couldn't sleep even if he tried.

Ganondorf twiddled his thumbs. He needed some entertainment, because he wasn't ready for bed yet either. He summoned some dancing Gerudo women, then laid back and watched them go. Everyone else started watching them too, except for the Mother Brain.

"You men disgust me.", she snarled.

Reflections

The next morning Yoshi awoke from his slumber by the scent of pancakes cooking. He got out of his bed, which looked like he dug into it and made it a nest. Pancakes did smell like a good thing to Yoshi.

He saw Samus also staggering down the steps, still in her suit, acting like if she was just recently raised from the dead. She saw the little green dinosaur coming and stopped to greet him. Yoshi bleeped out a couple of happy greetings, then skipped his way down to the dining room.

Mario never saw a pancake stack that large in his life. It was at least three feet tall. Fox peered around to look at him, the same question in his eyes. Link, however, took out his sword and stabbed himself a couple of pancakes.

"That sword does come in handy.", Samus spoke as she sat down, "Geez, how are we supposed to eat all of this?!?"

"Maybe wea . . .Um . . .I don't know.", Mario shrugged, "It'sa huge!"

"Well, that at least has to weigh twice my body weight.", Fox humored, then took one off the top, "Can Yoshi eat all of that, maybe?"

"Pika!!", Pikachu yelled. He couldn't reach up to get a pancake, which frustrated him. Mario reached up and grabbed a couple of pancakes for himself and Pikachu, then started drizzling maple syrup all over it.

"Whoops. Excuse my table manners.", Samus threw her helmet down to the floor, where Yoshi was eating with Pikachu. He poked at the helmet with his nose, then got it stuck on his head. Samus pulled it off again and laid it on another table.

After finishing his pancake, Fox licked the syrup off his plate with his tongue. Link caught him doing it and had himself a little laugh before he skewered a couple more pancakes. Fox took his plate away to the kitchen and came back to the stack gone.

"Who ate all of them?", Fox questioned, "That was fast."

"Yoshi did.", Link laughed, "Just stuck his tongue up and . . .Slurp! There went the pancakes!"

"He'sa lucky if hea doesn't get a tummy ache.", Mario sighed, "Now let'sa go kick some Bowser butt."

Pop Star:

The flight over was pretty quick. Everyone didn't mess around with Samus when she wanted to drive (although Fox pleaded to), and nothing went wrong inside of her ship. Yoshi tried to eat the control throttle, but Mario was able to catch his tongue fast enough each time he attempted to do so.

Samus slowly parked her ship on the ground, careful for any of Bowser's cronies to show up. They all were very quiet with their walking when they sneaked inside the base. Sometimes Link's boots would clank a little bit, but otherwise everyone was very sneaky.

"Ia wonder where they'd hide D.K.", Mario pondered softly, "He'sa pretty big, you knowa."

"I think they would have made it difficult enough for us.", Link replied in the same tone, "They wouldn't want us to get away with this easily."

"Pika pik!!", Pikachu yelled, trying to agree with them. Everybody went ridged, hoping nobody heard that. Yoshi's tail drooped a little bit, and he looked around nervously.

Suddenly a squeal like a gear turning rang through the metallic hallway. Fox's ears lowered from it, trying to protect his hearing. Link also had to cover his ears for fear of deafness.

Then everything was quiet again. Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief, then kept proceeding on. Mario scowled at Pikachu a little bit, then continued to lead the others.

Fox stopped dead in his tracks. Link and the others kept going on, but then they realized that they were one man short. They turned around to see Fox listening for something, his acute ears pointed up in curiosity.

"Guys, I think there's a trap door here.", Fox whispered to the others. They were wondering what sort of person could "hear" trap doors, but they listened intently anyway.

"What makes you think that?", Samus answered him, also very faint in noise.

"This is too easy. Plus that squealing could have been another trap door.", Fox thought, "Andross and Ganondorf would never had it this way, I know."

"It's a good point.", Link nodded in agreement, "Plus why would . . ."

At that time, the trap door did actually fall, with them all standing on it. The door itself was quite large, so it would have fallen for at least a quarter of a mile and gotten them all. Mario looked down, then back at everyone, then they all fell down it.

"Eeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!!", Link hollered, trying to get a hold of something.

"PiIIIIii!!", Pikachu shrieked too, clinging to Mario's cap.

"Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggg!", Yoshi squealed, his arms wind-milling around him frantically.

"I toooollldd you sooooo!!", Fox's voice quivered, he still falling a little slower than the others because of his weight.

"Greeeatt goooinng, Einstieeeeeen!!!!", Samus finished, then landed on the ground. Soon after Yoshi fell, then Mario with Pikachu, Link, and Fox all landed right on top of each other. They moaned, then brought themselves to their feet.

Yoshi looked around him, still trying to put the pieces together. He was thinking he saw a blue Yoshi, but then he discovered that wasn't a Yoshi. He squeaked again, bringing everyone's attention to Boshi, the dinosaur Yoshi had seen.

"Bing.", Boshi spoke, then lashed his tongue out at Pikachu. The poke'mon was pulled effortlessly into Boshi's mouth, where he was cloned and egged back out. Mario looked at the monster, then at his teammates, then dashed behind Samus.

"Some man you are!", Samus barked at the plumber, then tackled the dinosaur, making sure not to step on the two eggs he laid. Boshi rolled under her tackle and swallowed her whole too, creating another clone in the process.

Fox switched his laser to stun, then fired rapidly at the mutated Yoshi. The dinosaur glared at him, unfazed by the shots, then ate Fox's gun right out of his hands. He looked at his empty hands, then sheepishly smiled and tried to back away from Boshi swiftly. However, he was still in range and was gulped down like the first two.

"Mama mia!! We'vea got to run!!", Mario yelped at Link, then started to move away from Boshi. The dinosaur was yet again too swift and swallowed Mario like candy, then hit Link when he was still in shock with his tongue.

Yoshi had gotten far away by the time that Boshi had cloned all of his friends and laid them in eggs. The dinosaur barely did it, wanting to stay badly with his friends and save them. He knew he could do little now, so he ditched.

Bowser's office:

"HEE!!!", K. Rool was rolling on the floor from laughter. Bowser tried not to step on him, but he still was a little bit ticked that Boshi hadn't waited for Bowser to see the look of defeat in Mario's eyes. He knew that it was an emergency situation at that time, so the cloning had to be performed early.

"Oh, grow up.", Andross snarled, then smiled too, "Yes, that was a very well done task, Boshi. I believe that our plans will now come a little bit faster, thanks to you."

Boshi nodded his head, as if he understood, then went to his room to go chew on some unfortunate creature that got trapped in there yesterday. The Mother Brain brought every one back to attention by screeching on the top of her lungs, then began to discuss their plans.

"You fools forget that the others exist too; they weren't killed.", The Mother Brain reminded them, "We must do something to dispose of them."

"I think a grilling sounds nice.", Bowser smiled, "Yeah, I fire `em up, we eat them, no more problem."

"It would be a great revenge, too!!", Kirby added. He had tried to keep quiet recently, but now he wanted to get into the conversation.

"True, true. And yes, a barbecue does sound like a wondrous idea, Bowser.", Andross agreed, "But Fox would be a mere snack to me."

Ganondorf looked uncomfortable at Andross' sneers. Fox was barely shorter than he was, and although he was much more powerful, Andross could still easily overtake him. He shifted his possision and coughed to get the others' attention.

"Boshi, you must go gaurd these eggs. If anyone is to find them, they'll probably take them with him.", Ganondorf commanded, "You mustn't let them escape, even if they're harmless."

The dinosaur nodded faithfully, then went to his duties. Bowser was most pleased with Ganondorf's wise supplements to his works, and he was also happy to have the feeling of a glorious end to come. He reclined into his seat and enjoyed the comfort running through him.

In the Incubation Room:

There was a small, feeble movement from one of the eggs. It was dark black and red, maybe even garnet in color. It was a little bit of a larger egg than most, but it still was smaller than two. The egg seemed like it was docile, but violent developings were in the making.

Suddenly a burst of light shot through the egg. The garnet coloring faded completely to black, then fell to shards. A very heavy-set man stepped up out of the egg and dusted fragments of eggshell off of his clothing.

"I'ma . . .I'ma . . .", the strange man began, then finished, "I'ma Wario."

Suddenly a large crack split through an orange shell, and out burst a gigantic ape. He was metallic, somehow, and seemed to move stiffly. Finally he reganed his footing and pounded hard on his chest.

A blue shell then yielded to the monstrosity it was hiding. He was mere bones, but they held together in a horrific fashion. Two bat-like wings were attached to the grotesque beast, and his skull was canide, giving him a sort of Hell's Angel look.

Then the green shell next to it splattered aparted. A dark shadow emerged, then looked around him. The shadow reached for his sword in the back, then smiling maliciously, it kicked the other blue egg into the wall, cracking it along the sides.

"Is ita dead?", Wario asked.

"It will be. Give it a few hours.", the shadow replied.

Then one of the purple shells burst open, spilling forth an armored warrior. She had dark spikes rippling all over her, and her armor was the color of death. She picked up the dark yellowish egg, then knocked on it to come out.

The animal that did come out was a Sandshrew. He looked kind of mis-matched from the rest of the group, but he would serve his purpose to him all the same. He growled a little bit, then pounced to the floor.

Right then Boshi came through the door. The others, knowing that he was the one who created them, nodded their approval to Boshi. They followed him back out, to where they knew they'd met their leader.

The small blue egg barely twitched.

Wherever Yoshi was:

Yoshi was completely lost. He had no idea where he was going, and that made him feel stupider. Never-the-less, he hopped and skipped down to the next hallway.

He saw an open door to his right that made him curious. He took a peak into it, then felt a rush of warm air against him. He happily bounced inside, then looked at his surroundings.

The air around him remained humid. To walk felt like you were stepping on something dead, perhaps the gizzard of some unfortunate animal. The walls were a soft tint of pink, giving the otherwise disturbing room a sense of peace. Yoshi sat down for a moment, bedazzled by his surroundings.

Suddenly his seat began to twitch. He jumped up in surprise, then looked at his chair more closely. It was an orange egg, and it was beginning to hatch!!

Donkey Kong burst forth from the egg, then shook loose pieces of eggshell from his dark-brown fur. He looked around in worry, then settled his eyes on Yoshi.

"How. . .What?", D.K. was confused with what was going on. He gazed slowly around the room, gathering his bearings. He rubbed his large hands on Yoshi's head, then store around some more.

Yoshi quickly picked up the sound of another noise. He spun sharply to see shattered remains of what appeared to be another egg, then walked over to it. He pushed little pieces of the remains of the shell to see a slender, moaning figure.

"Fox? What the? . . .", Donkey Kong pushed Fox to his feet, which he barely gained enough balance. He blinked slowly, then swallowed his saliva to regain some moisture to his dry throat.

"I'm . . .just. . .Where's Mario?", Fox spoke softly, like if someone was hearing him besides the two standing with him. A great cracking noise then echoed through their silence, sending all three of them jumping in shock.

"What the heck??", D.K. heard the cracking of another egg; this time a red one. A four foot Italian stood up and grumbled a few words of pain, words that would be wise not to be repeated at this here time. Mario grumbled some more as he pulled out pieces of eggshell from his hat and mustache. He then realised he was not alone.

"Oh my . . .D.K.? Fox? YOSHI!!", Mario quickly scrambled to the others and embraced them in a sense that he was finally saved. Fox and Yoshi tried to pull away to gasp for air, but it was pretty much useless.

"BING!!", Yoshi finally shrieked for Mario to stop. The italian let them go, then looked alertly for anything else. What he heard and saw was Link breaking out of his shell, cursing all the while.

"Stupid dinosaur . . .God, being defeated by . . .Oh, high guys!", Link aburtly stopped in the middle of his swearing fit. Mario rolled his eyes at the younger Hylian, then jumped as Samus burst forth out of her shell with Pikachu's breaking next to her. The bounty hunter was not pleased with the current situation either.

The Super Smash Brothers then began to notice their surroundings. Sheer wonder overcame them as they pondered what was happening around them. Samus looked into the corners of the room and noticed how vast it was in size.

"Linka, do youa perhaps knowa where wea are?", Mario asked aloud. His head turned slowly to observe all that was going on around him.

Yoshi also then began to imitate Mario. The Italian didn't find it to be as humorous as the young dinosaur conceived it to be, but he figured it would be better that he was amused than scared.

"Bing . . .", Yoshi drifted off. His entertainment had ended for the moment, and he started to chase his tail. Donkey Kong looked embarrassed at the dinosaur doing so. As Yoshi was chasing his tail, he ran into an unwanted being. Looking up, he saw a heavy-weighted plumber with a crooked mustache, who was glaring back at the dinosaur with angry eyes.

"Yousa gunna die.", Wario replied to the shocked team.

***

Mirror, Mirror on the wall . . .

"Who are youa and why are youa here?!", Mario stepped in between the frightened Yoshi and Wario in hopes to settle down their arguement. The rounder Italian stepped back and huffed at Mario.

"Get thisa straight, short loser. I'ma Wario, and I wasa cloned from you. Now I'm herea to destroy youa with ol' Kujjio here.", Wario pointed to a figure behind him, "He wasa cloned from youra mutt."

The winged beast behind Wario took off in a flash and swooped down at the Super Smash Brothers. They all dived out of the way to avoid Kujjio's talon-like claws. Fox intercepted its second flight and clung onto its skeletal arms.

"Oh goddess!!!", Link shrieked. He quickly took out his bow and arrows, trying not to hit McCloud in his wrestle.

"Bing!!!!!", Yoshi jumped on top of Wario in an attempt to run away from the winged monsterosity flying over-head. They tumbled into the hallway, feet swinging madly to sock one another in the mouth. Yoshi was successful at completing this first and sent Wario rolling down the hallway.

"Get me down!!", Fox yelled, trying to subdue Kujjio at the same time. He grabbed ahold of one of its wings and tore it off in an attempt to defeat the monster. Kujjio realized that its game was over, blood seeping out in a horrific rate, and swerved madly into the wall, trying to give his assaliant a concussion in the process.

Samus jumped into the air and broke Fox's fall, as he had let go of the beast before it murdered itself. They fell in a tangled heap of machinery and fur, and at the end of their temporary flight were in a pile, struggling to pull themselves apart. Mario quickly ran to their assistance and brought them to their feet again.

"No more arial fighting for you.", Samus growled, then mussed up Fox's stripe, which poofed out of his helmet in a mis-matched order. The vulpine creature laughed, then straightened his helmet again.

"I think we had better move. If the other clones are like that beast, we should find them out and defeat them one by one. I would hate to have thought that one of you guys could have been a smear on the wall.", Link advised, then followed after an estactic Yoshi. The dinosaur lead the way down the hall as the others followed doggidly behind him.

In Bowser's office:

"And another one bites the dust.", the Mother Brain replied sadly. She was sober that Kujjio had been defeated, especially since it resembled one of her favorite henchmen, Ridley. Her feelings were soon interrupted by the cursings of Bowser.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS PLAN WOULD WORK, GANONDORF!!!!!", the Dragon Lord hollered at the Prince of Darkness. Ganondorf took the words easily, as all evil villians did. Giovanni started to get fed up with all of the failure, though.

"We are sure that the others will work though, right?", Giovanni asked aloud.

"'Course they will!! Why wouldn't they??", K. Rool laughed maniacally.

"Maybe because you're all idiots . . .", Andross whispered to himself. He turned away before the others could catch him.

"I'm staying here this time. I like watching victory from the comfort of a recliner.", Kirby remarked, "Being blown up like a marshmellow and getting hacked to pieces wasn't my idea of fun."

"That's our Kirby!", K. Rool remarked, then threw himself into an easy chair. He relaxed as he watched what troubles the Evil Alliance could cook up for the Super Smash Brothers, and cackled to himself as he did so.

Somewhere in a really long and dark hallway . . .:

Yoshi began to pant after walking for so long. He was beginning to wonder if Mario would ever find the exit to this place. Or if the others would be safe. Or even if he would ever eat again.

A dinosaur gets hungry, you know.

"Ugh. More eggshell.", Samus picked out more pieces of egg shell out of the joints of her armor, "Geez, I'm going to have to re-order another suit if the eggshell's jammed up my gun . . ."

"Pika pik pik.", Pikachu mumbled half-heartedly at Samus' complaints. He wiggled his toes as he walked to entertain himself, then looked ahead at the rest of his crew.

"Is there any way I can get blood out of this?", Fox moaned as he looked at his clothing. Kujjio's blood had stained into his clothes and his fur, and he appeared like he had just broken out of a gang fight.

"Maybe. Don't sweat ita, kid. That must have tooken a lotta out of you with thata wound and all.", Mario sighed, then examined Fox's injury. It was appearing to heal rapidly, which was a good sign. His concintration fixed back onto finding a way out of this maze.

Link pondered his surroundings for a moment. Donkey Kong stopped too, wondering what was going on. He pressed his large hands on the wall, imitating Link, and suddenly understood what the Hylian was thinking.

"These walls . . .they're warm.", Link spoke curiously, in sheer wonderment to what the cause could be. He pressed his ears against the wall, trying to hear something.

"Wella, strange as that is, we've come to the end of our little tunnel.", Mario spoke fornlornly, "And it'sa one of those weird rooms again."

They stepped inside to a room full of life. Literally. The walls were gushing a fluid around the room and under the Super Smash Brothers' feet. The floors were sticky with a goo of some sort, and it squashed around their feet like innerds.

"Yuck.", Donkey Kong growled. The gut-like floor was disgusting against his feet.

"Almost like we're inside an animal.", Samus spoke. Yoshi looked around him some more, then stuck out his tongue in agreement. He happly sqeaked as he peered around himself, spinning himself around in circles.

Suddenly the room went very dark. The Super Smash Brothers all jumped in shock, and Mario began cowering behind Samus in fear again. They were all in awe, as the liquid glowed in the veins and arteries running throughout the entire system.

Stealthly, fourteen tenticles unravled behing them, more than should have been able to take them down. They traveled like tongues, wet and slippery, slowly rapping their way around the Super Smash Brothers.

"Guys . . .", Fox's voice quivered in the dark, "I believe we have company. . .in large numbers."

"Bing?", Yoshi asked, then turned around to see the monstrosities that had come out of no-where. It had eyes, watching him like a crazed beast. He screamed, "BONG!!!!"

Link wipped out his Master Sword, slicing through two of them in one blow. His fairies Navi and Tatl quickly acted like lights to Link, showing him the location of the others.

"What are these things?", Samus questioned as she began plucking them off one by one with her gun. Several more appeared from where she had blasted. They were outnumbering her fast, but she continued to struggle.

"Mama mia!!", Mario called out. His body was soon rapped around by a tentacle. It attempted to pull him upward, but it was soon ripped to shreads by Donkey Kong's massive power. He socked a couple more of the tenticales like punching bags with his ape friend, hoping they could get free.

"Not this again!!", Fox wailed as he began shooting at the tenticles in mid air. He threw himself around like a volleyball, landing his feet against one tentacle's root, then shooting and jumping to another one. His balance was blown off course by a wild tongue, sending him reeling into a wall.

"Quit being a monkey, Fox. That's my job!!", Donkey Kong pulled himself up a tentacle, then beat it with his fists until it fell out of the air like a dead snake. The monkey quickly swung himself onto another tongue and beat the living force out of that one too.

"Piiiiiiiiiiikkaaaaaa!!!!", Pikachu yelled. He was being pulled up by another tentacle, and his thundershocks did no damage to the beast. He was helpless until Mario fired a fireball straight into the base of the tentacle. The Poke'mon fell onto Donkey Kong's back, and clung for his life there.

Link knew that this battle was going to be easily one if they didn't find a weakness soon. He began thinking about the possible weakness of the beast when it hit him like thunder.

The Hylian's eyes darted around, looking for the source of where the liquid veins and arteries were running. A large, pulsing lump was in the middle of the massive room. He knew that he had to hit that somehow.

"Wait a sec!!", Fox yelled over Link's thoughts. He sent a stunning shot into the heart of the room, and it momentarily paused. Link sent a flaming arrow after Fox's shot, incinerating the mass. It fell to the ground in a writhing mass of flesh, then stopped. The tentacles followed its demise, landing like boas around the Super Smash Brothers.

They stood, panting for a moment under the pressure of the dead flesh. Suddenly Samus began to laugh, adrenilane pumping through her body at an enormous rate. Then Mario began to join, then Donkey Kong, and then everybody began laughing.

"A heart. That's all we needed to destroy. And we nearly got ourselves killed!", Samus giggled over the others, "Boy, are we losing are touch?"

"I'm beginning to never want to set foot off the ground again.", Fox humored, "Mario, you ever want to eat spaghetti again?"

"Verya funny, guys. Let's pulla ourselves together and geta going.", Mario stated their current situation again, and that pulled everyone to their senses again. They all followed after their leader, Yoshi following the closest to Mario, and began setting off in their search for the monsters that had been wrongly cloned from them.

But Yoshi was still hungry.

In Bowser's office:

"What? How did they come across that room?", Giovanni snarled angerily, "They're getting closer . . ."

"Damn. I was going to use that as a Bio-Weapon later. But oh well. We have bigger things to worry about now.", Andross glared unhappily at the survalince screens. He grumbled as he began to pin-point the Super Smash Brothers location.

Bowser watched, growling under his breath. Mario's face made him want to vomit, especially after the damage he and his measily friends had done. He would have loved to watch Mario's eyes bug out until he popped them, then would have done the same to Yoshi. Bowser went back to squeezing Play-Doh, the only thing keeping himself and his blood pressure under control.

"Those clones of yours had better do good when they get here, Boshi.", Bowser yelled, his anger finally tipping over, "I want no more mistakes!!!!! I will personally see to it that you win, or you will die!!!!!!!"

Boshi nodded, as if none of this even rejustered to him. He began watching the screens again, growling at the sight of Yoshi. He would make sure that he would be the first to suffer and die, if it was the last thing he'd do!!

***

Getting knocked down . . .

Yoshi sniffed in the air curiously. He smelt something evil, sweat with some sort of pizza-like mixture filling the air. The thought of pizza made him even hungrier. He licked his lips, thinking of the wonderous things he could eat when he could get home.

"Guys.", Samus spoke softly as they walked into another room, "We've got what we wanted."

The Super Smash Brothers glanced around themselves, realizing that they had come to a stadium of some sort. Bright lights flashed around them, blinding them in their glare. Pikachu howled at them lights, then eletricuted one directly above him with his thunder-bolt powers.

When their vision cleared, they saw their clones in their path. All of them bore a bitter face, piercing their clothing and armor. They especially store hard at Fox, recongizing the blood's owner.

"So, you have been successful, Super Loser Brothers.", a voice cackled above them. They peered up to see Bowser and his cohorts all laughing at the sight of them.

"A little bit too successful, if you ask me. But the loss is replacable.", K. Rool roared an annoying wave of humor at them, "Well, I think K.D. can take care of you too, McCloud."

The gigantic clone of Donkey Kong reared up on his hind legs, scoffing at the site of D.K. He also scorned the smaller Fox next to him, then went back down on all fours. The two anthropomorphic creatures simutaniously moaned in grief.

"I'd like to see that piece of mechinary take me on!", Samus boasted in front of the Evil Alliance, her movements full of cocky glory. The metallic Aran also stepped forth and shook her fist at her opposition.

"Shrew!!", the Sandshrew growled, then shook its tail in a taunt. Pikachu got too mad, and electrical sparks flew everywhere, like a broken light-bulb. After the shock wore off, they could all see that the Sandshrew had not been much of a rival to Pikachu, even with its resistance to electricity. In fact, not much of Sandshrew was left, period. All that was left of it was a crater in the stadium.

Ganondorf slapped himself on the head. He thought this was getting ridiculious, and he didn't need any more screw-ups than had already happened. His reputation in front of the Gerudo women was bad enough as it was.

"Bingggg . . .", Boshi screeched, then jumped forth and attacked Yoshi. The blue and green dinosaurs took off to biting and scratching each other ferociously, not letting each other out of their battle. The other clones jumped forth also and began assialing their enemies.

Mario dove out of the path of Wario, sending the larger into a near-by wall. Wario quickly recovered, however, and grabbed Mario by his shoes. He began twirling the plumber around in the air, making him sick as a dog. Samus and Pikachu began concintrating on how to defeat her clone. They stepped lightly and swiftly, dodging any projectiles head for them. Samus threw Pikachu onto her opponent, and Pikachu gave the clone the shock of her life. Slowly but surely, the enemy's energy was drained. It gave out and collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.

Donkey Kong grabbed Fox out of the path of K.D.'s violent punch. He blocked it with his larger fists, then knocked the other ape backwards a few steps, guarding his companion as he snuck in occasionally to attack. Not expecting the other ape to have a furious fight, Donkey Kong was knocked back by another large Simanian Slam. Fox defended for a while, trying to give D.K. time to get his feet pulled up. K.D. hauled the lighter over his back, and slammed him into the ground.

Link and his shadow mimicked each other perfectly. Everytime Link attempted to slice into the cloned being, he was hit back by a slash from the Dark Link. It was getting pointless trying to fight the shadow until Link saw the presence of another from behind the beast.

It was Her Royal Highness, Princess Zelda!!

"My lady, what are you doing here??", Link asked, confused out of his wits.

"Never you mind. Donkey Kong needs your help. I'll take this one.", Zelda fired a gigantic red flame into the back of the clone. It convulsed, then collapsed to the ground, dead as a door-knob.

Wario finally released the unlucky Mario into a wall. The plumber pulled himself to his feet, then pelted his clone with red, smoldering fireballs. Wario back away, his skin blackened and charred. Mario kept coming back with masses waves of fire, and eventually the flames grew too high. Wario was burned alive, never screaming at his demise.

Boshi grabbed Yoshi by his neck, and started pounding his head into the ground. Yoshi saw his life flashing before his eyes in a mixed-up jumble, then he latched on to his minute senses again. He kicked Boshi backwards, giving him enough time to scramble to his feet. The two ran around, trying to catch each other like little kids.

Link had no idea how badly Donkey Kong needed his help. The ape was still unconscious from the blow, and his partner in battle was weakening severely without his help. The Hylian tried to snap Donkey Kong out of it by slapping him, but it unforunatily didn't help. "Get UP!!!", Link yelled on the top of his lungs, but that didn't do any good either.

Zelda saw the melee rising between the larger ape and McCloud. She muttered some words, then suddenly a draft of strange winds changed her appearance. The mark of the Sheikans was on her new outfit, and she looked ready to kill.

Pikachu saw Zelda zip along the stadium, catching up to the largest current battle, and swiftly followed her footsteps. Samus, who was going to go help Yoshi, turned tail and followed the Poke'mon. They flew at maxium speeds, destruction on their minds.

Bowser leapt out of the safety of his staduim seat and blew large flames in the path of Samus, Zelda, and Pikachu. They halted, then saw the fiery glaze of anger in the Koopa's eyes. Zelda unleashed a whip from her left hand and delicately slapped Bowser backwards, spinning in a dance.

"You guys . . .Get out of here! I'll finish them off.", Bowser growled, but then was hit full force by Samus and her missles. The Koopa King grumbeled in agony, then watched through his left eye as the other members of the Evil Alliance left. His attention quickly returned to the three he had trapped.

"Zelda!!!!!", Link shrieked, then leapt away from Donkey Kong. He had to get over that fire and save her from Bowser. Looking up, he saw a loose cable. He decided to take chances and dove in to save her.

Accidently, Link caught Bowser instead. He threw the tyrant into the stadium seats, watching him become dizzy and faint. At that time, Zelda transformed back to her original form and cast Nayru's love, freezing the surrounding flames into ice-cicles. Samus busted the ice into fragments, letting her and the others escape easily.

"Heh heh. All in a knight's work.", Link shrugged to himself, then heard a screech. He forgot that he had left Fox all alone with the gigantic beast cloned from Donkey Kong. Picking up his Master Sword, he rushed back to his assistance.

Mario jumped on top of his valiant Yoshi, riding him like a cowboy. The duo worked together quite nicely, and their target Boshi knew all about their partnership. He started running away from them, planning to escape. Yoshi's tongue and Mario's fireballs were too fast for him as it was, and he was trapped and incinerated. Forever now would the cloning stop.

Fox wimpered as he dodged another attack. His body was aching, underestimating the strength of the blows of K.D. His temperature was burning, his eyes tired, his energy fading. Somehow he pulled himself together for one moment, and he started building up fiery infernos around himself.

"What the hell???", was K.D.'s response to the power up. Soon the blaze blurred at him in a terrifying speed. He was knocked backwards nearly 50 feet, and his mind began reeling.

It was then that Donkey Kong finally got back on his feet. He wound his fist in a mad circle, ticked off and sweating, and ran after the burning clone in a mad dash. The punch he had prepared slammed into the chest of his assaliant, breaking bones and spurting blood.

The battle was over.

"Somebody . . .This one needs help!", Zelda cried out, bringing the Super Smash Brothers to attention. Fox had wiped out into a clean faint, his body bruised and battered from K.D. Donkey Kong picked him up, then looked to Mario for directions.

"Well. . . .", Donkey Kong began, "Are we going to leave this stink-hole or what?"

"Pika!", Pikachu agreed with D.K. He didn't want to be around here any longer.

"Yeah. Let'sa go home and . . .", Mario paused for a moment, "Get somea ice cream."

"BING!!!!!", Yoshi liked that idea a lot. He lead the others out the door, eager to leave and eat.

Especially that eating part.

At Donkey Kong's Hut, 2 hours later:

"Your highness, you kicked butt!", Link laughed, then took another bite of his banana split, another one of Donkey Kong's special banana recipies. The creamy bananas and chocolate syrup were Link's favorite parts.

"Well, anything to help.", Zelda spoke cockily, then launched a cherry at Yoshi with her spoon. The dinosaur caught it in mid-air, then swallowed it down happily.

Fox store blankly at his banana split. He had just come back around, so his focus was not completely back. He was able to at least recognize what it was, so he was able to eat a little bit of it.

"Youra highness, come help us anyatime! If theya taught all Hylians with youra sort of intellegence and powers, wea wouldn't have to fight Ganondorf at all!", Mario allowed Zelda to join his group, then gulped down another spoonfull of ice cream.

"Great! Now I'm not the only girl!!", Samus cheered happily, then slapped hands with Zelda. The bounty hunter went back to 'attacking' her ice cream.

"You guys really like these? Man, and Diddy says that they suck!", Donkey Kong joked, "But whatever. Hello, Fox . . . You still alive in there?"

"What?", Fox brought up his attention sharply, "Quit that. I'm fine."

"Pika.", Pikachu shook his head, not agreeing with that statement fully. , "Pika pik pik chu."

"Binga bing inging bong.", Yoshi agreed with Pikachu, then stuck his face into his banana spilt. The others moaned for him to clean up his act and to knock that off. They all had to laugh when they saw his messy face, though.

"No one can clone a sense of humor, eh guys?", Link asked. He was answered by hearty acknowledgements. The Super Smash Brothers went back to having their little ice cream social and relaxed after a stressful day.

Epilogue

"That's it. No more plans from the brains for a while.", Bowser moaned as a Koopa Troopa bandaged his tail, "Where the heck did that Link kid come from?"

"Kokiri Forest or something like that.", Ganondorf mumbled, "Kids these days, I tell you . . ."

"So they like cooking, eh?", K. Rool laughed, "Well, so do I. Lady and Gentlemen, I have a plan!"

"That's it. We've hit rock bottom.", Andross whined, "We are now taking plans from the idiot."

"I'M THE IDIOT?!?!?!?!!?!?", K. Rool growled, then attacked Andross. They started pummeling each other, ready to knock each other out. The rest of the Evil Alliance moaned in agony at the sight of the stupidity of it all.

But who knows? Their plan may work . . .next time.

The End

Author's Note: To tell the truth, I was really bored with this story at the beginning. But it came out better in the end, no?

Donkey Kong cooking is nothing to be pondered upon. He just likes making stuff out of bananas, okay? Moving along . . .

I enjoyed adding Princess Zelda to this story. Her developing character for Super Smash Brothers Melee promises to make her an extremely good character and morpher. (You did catch the morph, right?)

Maybe I went a little too in-depth with this story. I think it turned out well, considering it was supposed to be for Yoshi. Really wasn't a little kid's tale, now was it?
