Super Smash Bros

Chapter 19: Going Home

By the time the ship landed, Mario and Luigi once again recognized the place.
"This is Star Haven!" Mario cried.
"Star Haven?" questioned Sonic.
"Let's-a-go! NOW!" Mario ordered. Everyone knew at this point it was better not to argue with Mario at this point. When they finally stopped, they were in front of something similar to the Star Rod.
"Whew, the Star Rod is safe," Mario heaved, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"I thought Meta Knight got away with it!" Sonic protested.
"This is different. This is also very powerful, though. When this Star Rod is taken and used, it can grant the person who had it one wish," Mario explained.
"And whatever is out there, wants it," Shadow said.
"Right. We should take it, but...," Mario was interrupted by a loud screeching sound. Outside of the glassed in area where the Star Rod was held, was a giant purple dragon creature.
"Ah! What IS that thing???" Luigi shouted.
"I don't know!" Mario shouted back. He turned to Shadow.
"Take the Star Rod, and get out of here. We'll try to stop that thing," Mario ordered. He grabbed the Star Rod, and handed it to Shadow.
"I'm on it," assured Shadow. He took off. The monster charged up a projectile from it's mouth, then fired it. The glass covering the Star Rod shattered. This left out heroes to stop it.
"No way are you getting through here!" Mario shouted. The monster fired another shot. Fox jumped in front, then used his reflector. The monster saw the reflected shot then dodged. The monster also saw that the Star Rod wasn't there. He flew over the glass dome.
"I think he's going after Shadow!" Sonic cried out.
"Well, I won't let that happen. I'm going after that thing!" Mario said. He charged out of the dome. He noticed the creature coming around.
"Oh no, you don't!" Mario shouted, jumping. He managed to grab the monster by the tail. The monster noticed this, then tried to shake Mario off. Mario held on with all his might. He soon felt his hands slipping.
"You need to drop down! I don't want to hit you!" a voice called out. Mario had noticed it sounded very feminine, but that didn't matter. He had to get off. He slipped off, landing off his feet. He saw a large blast shot hit the monster. It screamed, before falling to the ground. Mario noticed the shot came from a tall person just outside the glass dome where the Star Rod was. They were in a large orange colored suit. And one the person's arms was a large cannon-like gun. Mario then noticed Shadow come back, Star Rod in hand.
"I heard that thing scream, so I came back. Nice job, Mario," Shadow said.
"Um, thanks, Shadow, but it wasn't me, it was... whoever that is," Mario pointed at the person.
"You know that person?" questioned Shadow.
"We're about to," Mario answered. The two headed toward the person.
"Hey, thanks for that. You really saved our bacon. Can we have your name?" Mario asked. The stranger pushed a button on their suit. The helmet came off, revealing that she was indeed a woman.
"Samus Aran, bounty hunter. And you?" Samus asked back.
"I'm Mario, and this is my... um... how do I say it..."
"Shadow," remarked Shadow.
"Mario!" Luigi shouted. Everyone came running.
"We heard a screech, so we came running. You two OK?" asked Fox.
"Wait, You're Fox Mccloud, leader of the space team Star Fox, aren't you?" Samus came in suddenly.
"Uh yes?" Fox said.
"I've heard of your great deeds across the Lylat System. And you're best pilot, Falco Lombardi, is with you? You two are fantastic pilots!" Samus gushed.
"It's all part of the job," Falco grinned.
"Um, Ms. Samus, could you please explain how you got here?" Mario asked. Samus agreed and went into the story. Ridley, they monster our heroes just encountered, was reeking havoc. Samus, as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy, was sent to take him out. However, in the middle of battle, Ridley was sucked into a purple hole. Obviously suspicious, Samus followed. She found herself in a new place. She didn't know what to do, until she noticed someone on Ridley's tail.
"For all we know, Ridley is with this dark force we are fighting," Shadow said. Luigi, then had an idea.
"Hey, DK, want to send a message?" Luigi asked. The ape didn't need to talk. He happily jumped and nodded. Our heroes dragged Ridley to the dome entrance. Luigi looked towards the sky.
"Hey, whatever, or whoever, or whoever is out there, consider this a message. This Star Rod is ours! And as for your buddy Ridley here, he's the message. And the whole point of this message is... we're coming for you! Now DK!"
DK, who'd been winding up a punch the whole time, punched Ridley. The monster went flying through the air, where he finally disappeared, through what appeared to be another portal.
"Let's rock and roll! Samus, you coming with us?" Fox asked.
"I will. I need to stop Ridley, and destroy him once and for all!" Seamus declared.
"Then let's-a-go!" Mario cheered. The party of heroes was getting bigger, better, and stronger. And it was a good thing too. They would need it.
