"You're just messing with me." Rock says with a laugh. I sigh and facepalm.

"I'm not kidding. If we don't stop this thing soon, it's going to kill us. Kill us." I tell him.

"I-I was taken." Lucas pipes up. "But if N-Ness wasn't there, I would still be gone. M-My mind would have been wiped clean."

"And if Lucas's word doesn't convince you, then these will." I say, taking out my contacts to reveal my recently acquired yellow eyes.

"... Okay. What do you expect me to do?" He asks.

"Just... Try and build something that can jump dimensions. If you work with Crazy Hand, you'll probably be able to use the same teleporter technology we've been using in the tournament." I tell him. He nods.

"Sure, I can do that." He says.

"Yes, oh my God, thank you."

The front door opens and Toon is greeted to the sight of us three, sitting down, and me with yellow eyes.

"What's... Going on?" He asks. Rock points to a seat.

"They've got some crazy story about this thing that's trying to kill us all."

"Cool." He says, taking a seat.

"And then we were like spat back out into the alleyway." I tell Toon. He nods and frowns.

"What's going on...?" Villa asks. Nobody heard him come in.

"Well, looks like I have to start over. You don't mind, Toon?"

"Nup. Go ahead and tell him everything." He says. I stand and sit on the counter, so Villa can sit down. Once he takes his seat, I begin the story.

"Okay, so it started on that day the newspaper said Wario kidnapped Olimar. Crazy Hand mind controlled me and made me break something called a 'Constant Smash Ball'."

"I didn't know it was Crazy Hand until way later, but we'll get to that. I went to the doctor and turns out I became stronger and more reflexive and stuff. That's why I have been doing better on my past few battles. "

"Around this time, Mario gets taken and essentially brainwashed. His mind was taken out, and replaced by the presence of some big bad guy whose end goal is to kill us all."

"He then comes back, and I don't know what the big bad's goal is with Mario, but it sure ain't good. A few days later, Lucas gets taken, too. But I was there, and I saved him before his mind could be replaced."

"Crazy hand called me to her office and started explaining things left, right and centre. One thing I didn't learn is who this big bad guy is. It was a topic she seemed to want to leave alone, though."

"Lucas started having dreams about Mario and Wario, the two people that have been noticeably changed. This is when I started putting puzzle pieces together."

"Whoever this baddie is, is taking people to use as puppets in our world because I don't think they can access it directly. They used Wario as a suspect to the disappearances, so they can get away with it."

"Mario is probably being used to get information about the tournament. Lucas also saw Luigi and Olimar, which means that they were taken by the big bad. Probably."
