'The dark winds start to blow. I must continue my training till I feel it stronger.'

[I]A character sits on the floor crosslegged. He stands up and aims his hand palms at a little wall.[/I]

'Shadow bomb!'

[i]the little wall explodes as the dark force reaches it. The character now looks behind him and aims his hands at a few monsters taking their stance. His hands start to glow.[/I]

'Black hole!'

[i]A black hole appeares underneath the monsters and slurps them all up. the person walks over to the stairs, but stands still and closes his eyes. His long hair starts to float and he opens his eyes again. His hair falls down as if it has never been floating.[/i]

'Now i sence it again. I will look what it is causing. I Magus will take on every challenge. Even if this power is stronger than me.'

[I]So thats what he's called huh? Oh well. Nice to know it. Lets get one with the story now shall we?.... He walks up at the stairs and goes to the front door. It was a little big for a normal front door, but ill call it a front door. Anyways. He opens the door and shoots off.[/I]

[The One]

[color=darkred][SIZE=1]OOC: A few things
1: I apologise for taking so long to post. I have been overwhelmed with school work.

2: TEDBZ will not be joining for sometime, his PC is in pieces, he will be up in time though, don't worry.

3.Krillen, dude playing Yoshi. I hate being introduced, especially in that manner. Sonic and Knuckles wouldn't leave you squashed against a wall (apart from that, good character representation), and no-one would give away a chaos emerald. Even Tails knows the power of them, they can lead to transformations in any creature, and are very valuble. Despite this I shall let it slide and try and get by, posting what I originally planned to post, with some additions to compensate.[/SIZE]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Knuckles lay in the shade of a giant mushroom, near the home of Sonic. He glanced up at the underside of the floating island. There were times long ago when he would have much preferred to live alone up there. Then came Robotnik, Sonic, Tails and the rest. Knuckles lip curled as he remembered all the destruction they had brought. Since then however, Robotnik had been defeated and locked away, and the world was 'safe'. Knuckles exhaled heavily, expelling any anger that was present from rememberance. He had struck up a rapour with Sonic and his friends that almost resembled friendship. But he was a lot more 'chummy' with Sonic than he was with Amy for example. Knuckles was now comfortable with venturing to other parts of thw world, he had been to various locations with the help of Tails and his aeroplane. There were still however areas he wished desperately to visit, Racoon city was one of them. Not that he'd admit it but he would never go alone, the stories he had heard made him extremely wary.
Knuckles sat up and began to watch the different animals that had gathered since he originally lay down. A couple of butterflys chased eachother around a tree while a squirel and three deer watched them intently. Life was so plain now, so boring. Knucles longed for excitement, a fight, something. He rose to his feet and walked towards a nearby cliff. Peering over the edge he could see Sonic's house.
[b]'I wonder if he's home.' The Echidna thought, 'Only one way to find out.'[/b]

Knuckles turned his back on the cliff and walked slowly away. At about 20 metres from its edge, he span around to face the cliff, and began to sprint. At the end of the presipice(sp?) he launched himself into the air, eyes closed lightly in relaxation. Knuckles free fell like this, with his arms by his side for quite some time, eventually throwing his upper limbs out and beginning to glide. His eyes eased open, slowly focussing on his target. It would be a while to reach it.
Knuckles remembered rushing out of the Hotel with Sonic planning to storm Eggman's base (again). It took them a while to realise that they needed a lot more planning. Something suddenly troubled the Echidna, Tails had started to talk to someone just as the duo had left. Who was it? Nither of them had noticed anyone on the way out.
[b]Knuckles: Hmmmm[/b]
As he descended he remembered some villagers gossiping about how some Villain had escaped his prison, at the time Knuckles had dismissed it as a rumor, but now he had a strange feeling deep within him that something was wrong. Knuckles screwed up his face tightly at the thought of what could happen if the Nemises(plural of Nemisis) banded together as the Heroes had done. He relaxed , finding safety in his thoughts of the flawless system the gaming world had employed to keep their enemies locked away.
Knuckles landed softly on the wooden deck of his friend's beach hut.
[b]Knuckles: Perfect.[/b]
[i]He smiled to himself[/i]
Looking out to sea, Knuckles could see The Mushroom Kingdom outlined perfecty by the orange glow of the setting sun.
[b]Knuckles: Hmmmm...[/b]
[i]The smile on his faced enlarged.[/i]

He turned and strolled towards the front door. He knocked twice and awaited a response.[/color]

[Red]

OOC: Very sorry for not posting until now, as TheOne said I couldn't get my PC up and running due to a lack of power points, but I crammed it back in after some thinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sonic awoke to someone impatiently knocking on his door, he rose slowly, rubbing his head from the previous nights fiascos with friends from the Green Hill Zone. Instantly dashing to the door, he opened it to find a familiar face, although not neccessarily friendly..

[b]Sonic:[/b] You would want what?

[b]Knuckles:[/b] To put it bluntly, I want you and Tails to take me to Racoon city.

Sonic stared at Knuckles blankly, he knew Knuckles was interested in seeing the whole gaming world but going to Racoon city was insane, especially with all the stories eminating from there.

[b]Sonic:[/b] I [i]used[/i] to think you were mad, now I [i]know[/i] it.

[b]Knuckles:[/b] Always with the cocky approach eh? Listen, will you take me or not?

[b]Sonic:[/b] I suppose Tails will wanna take ya, and I'll come along for the ride. Better than sitting around here, it's been mighty quiet since mr. I like egg's got locked up.. You sure you wanna leave those emeralds all alone? You know what would happen if someone got a little big for their boots...

[b]Knuckles:[/b] I know, but since the gaming world has lost it's villanous population I think I can do a little exploring rather than being cramped up on the Floating Island waiting for trouble with the emeralds..

[b]Sonic:[/b] Whatever you say buddy... Tail's isn't here, he's down in the Green Hill Zone flexin' his tails, let's go pay him a visit, catch me if you can!

Before the front door had even finished closing Sonic was on the horizon, knowing all too well that Knuckles didn't appreciate it when Sonic ran off only telling him Tails was in the Green Hill Zone, which was by no means small. Knuckles grit his teeth and began to run, following the trail of dust that Sonic left behind...

[Trumen]

DK was sitting in his big easy chair reading the latest edition of the "Jungle Press" when there was a knock at the treehouse door-
"The door is open," DK responded as Diddy Kong walks in. "Glad to see you, Diddy, I thought that after that last fight you would not be up for several weeks," said DK in a pleased voice.
"I also thought that, but doctor I visited was an expert," responded Diddy.
"So what is this unexpected visit about?"
"Well, I was wondering if we could go for a good old swing?"
"Why, certainly, I have not been on a good ol swing for a long time." [IMG]http://63.117.240.14/graphics/dkc/kong.gif[/IMG]
So DK and Diddy walk out of the treehouse to the vines that DK has growing next to his house-
"So what is up with the new this week?" asked Diddy?
"Oh, nothing much except the usual 'Hey! That's my banana!' 'No! It is mine!' and other stuff like that," answered DK.
"Hahaha, yeah I know how that is. It is also kind of funny how they made a big fuss over a banana, that was thrown inside the marketplace because it was ticking."
"Oh, yeah I heard about that, and how it turned at to be this guy's clock, that he purchased at another store and left it there."
"Man, life is boring now that there is nothing to fight."
"Yep, sure is, but I might get a job as a traffic instructor."
"Oh, really how much does it pay?"
"I do not know. Well, actually I'm going to try to catch up with pop."
"Where is he at?"
"Well, last thing I heard he was going to Raccoon City then to Duke's Pad."
"When are you going?" asked Diddy
"In about a day," answered DK, "want to come with?"
"Sure, I'll go pack now."
"I will also go pack," says DK as they both head off towards to their houses. As DK reaches his treehouse he notices that the door is knocked down. When he gets inside he goes strait to his coffee table where his wallet rest. "Oh, no! My money! Oh, the safe!" DK yells as he makes his way to the safe. When he put in the combination it snaps open. "OK, what is missing?[B]OH NO THE PHOTOS[/B]," he says as he sees that the family photos are gone. "Oh, there is a note," he says to himself.
It reads: We have stolen your money, your pictures, and HAHA your family emerald!!! Come Try To Find Us... RCC to DKSP.
"R-C-C? Oh, Raccoon City! Well, I'm going there anyways. So might as well go pack now."

[Shinobi]

The One- Ok.......Sonic and Knuckles didnt leave Yoshi there, they didnt even notice him, so they just ran off. Tails gave Yoshi the Emerald because he was sick of getting rejected by Sonic, and he thought it would make Sonic mad. And sorry if I intro duced you, but I didnt know if you were going to post or not, so just chill out, we will forget baout the whole thing. Lets just say that Yoshi never got the Emerald, and Tails never got rejected and we are all one big happy family, and we will go with your post. But the events in which Yoshi bought Soap shoes and traveling over to the mushroom kingdom still goes. Just thought Id clear that up. Time to eat now...........................................Ok, that was good.
------------------------------------------

Yoshi uses the rest of his Rings to buy to get a trip to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Yoshi: Coughs up 15 rings and hands them to the Boat owner.

Boat Owner: Ummmm.....just put them int hat basket there.....

Yoshi::confused: Ummm.....Ok.........(Geeze whats wrong with these people)

Along the ride tourist attempt to fish. But everytime they are close to getting a bite, Yoshi shoot sout his tounge and grabs the fish.

Man-Why you little! Do it again! Come on I dare you!

The Man tries to cast his Rod at Yoshi, attempting to hook him while hes on the boat. But the string only makes it a couple feet away from the man, Yoshi just walks off like nothing happened.

Yoshi: Gee, im getting kind of full. Im kinda thirsty actually.

Boat owner: Mushroom Kingdom Ho!

Yoshi takes a leap over the water and lands on the soft Grass before the Boat even docks. He rushes alonf the dirt road, hes really thirsty. He continues along the path until he sees a crowd of people and an Inn. There appears to be a dead Pirahnna plant as well.

Yoshi: Hmmmm......now where can I get a......!!!!!!!! Lon Lon milk for sale! Whoo hoo!

Yoshi rushes in to get some Milk and see's a familiar face sitting at one of the tables.

"Oh,Sir!The Champion!The Almighty Master of Pokemon!My Lord!"Grovled a Stuart,

"Oh,Do not worship me.I am but a simple Master"

Ash said,Strangly in a King's Robe,Staff and Crown.Obviousoly a Dream...And Ash's Bed was a Simple "Sorta Comfortable" Bed,

"GUaRDS!"

Ash Screamed,still thinking he was being treated as a Royalty.He ste himself up crosslegged and Rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.He finally realised they were somewhere!The Anne had stopped!He quickly pulled on his Pants,Vest an Slipped on his Beloved Hat,He ran to the Window.It was a Strange place...Didnt look to promising.He saw one Man standing at the dock,waiting.He was clad in Blue armor with a Ninga Type MAsk over his Mouth,

"Sub-Zero!"

Ash gasped as Pikachu jumped onto the ledge.Ash stared open mouthed as Sub-Zero walked aboard.He has seen this guy fight on T.V a million Times! He jumped up and down excitedly,

"I can meet Sub-Zero,Man!"

Suddenly,He was interupted by a Stuard who had walked into hs room,Sub-Zero Followed!

"Excuse me,Sir.But All of our rooms are full,And you have an Extra Bed for your Pokemon.Do yo mind if this Gentleman stays with you?"

The Stuard Asked politly,

Sub Zero pushed out his hand and Shoke the little boys hand.

" Hello. You can call me...."

Ash: Subbb Sub Zero! Man your awsome, I saw you beat Scorpian to win the Mortal Kombat Tournament.

" Ha, Thanks kid!"

Sub Zero walks to the couch that is to the left of Ash. He takes a seat and Ash follows and so does his Pokemon.

" Ah. I can see your a Pokemon collector?"

Ash: Yeah! This is Pikachu.

Pikachu runs up SubZeros arm and looks into his eyes.

Ash: Wow! He usually doesnt like strangers...

Now what?

[9mm Avenger]

[color=royalblue][i]Tails, who has been waiting for Sonic for an hour now, decided to fly on over to Skull Castle, Dr. Wiley's old haunt. Tails had heard, via the grapevine, that it was supposed to be a really cool place to visit...And it had a Starbucks.

So, twisting his tails at a speed that allowed him to lift off the ground, Tails made his way to the Skull Castle. But, being the little fox he is, Tails got pretty tired, and decided to set down in the Mushroom Kingdom(of course Tails dosen't know this).

Tails got out his map, but realised, when one goes swimming, paper objects shoudl be removed from ones pockets. So, with a soggy map, Tails decided, he should explore the surrounding areas. Still a bit tired from his flight, he decided to walk a little.

Soon, Tails happened upon a very, very large, pink castle with a red roof, and a picture of a strange woman on a large glass portriat on the front, and a statue of a fat plumber with the name Mario ingraved below it in the field surrounding the castle.[/i]

[b]Tails:[/b]Wow, this place is huge. I wonder if they have a snack bar?

[i]Tails wandered inside the castle, not knowing what was inside...[/i][/color]

OOC: I also apologize for being late, I had writers block, hehe. :)

[i]Battles after battles, after all the fights he had been through in his life, Ryu just wasn?t satisfy. Sure, he may have battled many great fighters around the world, but seeing that the world was a big place, he knew that there must have been many more great fighters out there that he had yet to face. Now that Ryu is in the Mortal Kombat Realm, he can expect many great challenges that will lie in his pathway, as his journey begins in the MK Shrine.

As Ryu walks in a dark, shallow, cave, he hear mens groaning in pain from far away as if they were being killed. He have never been to a place like this before, but being the curious man he is, Ryu continues on to walk forward. Suddenly out of nowhere, a quick shadow flew by, the shadow figure stood with his back turned to Ryu.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] What in the world is a mortal like you doing in this realm?!

[b]Ryu:[/b] The name?s Ryu, and I?m here looking for a new challenge.

[b]???:[/b] Ha! A new challenge? Well sorry to disappoint you, but a mortal like you wouldn?t even last a day in here.

[b]Ryu:[/b] Really? Why don?t you and me duke it out, and I?ll show you how powerful a mortal like me can be.

[b]???:[/b] Heh, it?s on kid.

[i]The mysterious shadow figured turned around and gotted in his fighting stance, as Ryu dropped his white bag and gotted in his own fighting stance.[/i]

I'm afraid you will have to wait until Warlock and Vampire Ed have their battle. As mentioned in the sign-up, only one battle may take place at a time. This is because the rpg would become cluttered and confusing otherwise.

Just because I only post unique ooc messages when the matter is important, I would also like to inform everyone that they may post a picture to use in their profile page in the sign-up thread or you can simply pm me the link to an image hosted on 250free (or something of the sort).

Mario and Link sat down at a small wooden table just near one of the Mushroom Inn's large windows. The Inn itself was a cosy little place, full of wooden furniture (with little mushrooms carved into each item), a warm fireplace in the corner and an old fashioned milk bar at the back of the room.

Link picked up a menu and skimmed over it. There were many kinds of milk at Mushroom Inn; most was imported from the faraway land of Hyrule. And of course, imported milk was expensive.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Hmm...thirty coins just for a bottle of strawberry milk?[/color]

Mario frowned. He picked up the other menu with a gloved hand and read down the list:

[font=monotype corsiva][size=5]

[b]Welcome to Mushroom Inn

Imported Milk (Standard Flavours)[/b]

[color=royalblue]Vanilla[/color] (30 coins)
[color=sienna]Chocolate[/color] (30 coins)
[color=deeppink]Strawberry[/color] (30 coins)

[b]Imported Milk (Exotic Flavours)[/b]

[color=blue]Blueberry Crush[/color] (65 coins)
[color=limegreen]Apple Blast[/color] (70 coins)
[color=indigo]Mega Fruit[/color] (voted no. 1 by Green Dinosaur Magazine) (90 coins)
[color=orange]Dr. Toad's[/color][color=tomato] Many Flavours[/color][color=red] Ice Cream & Syrup[/color] (130 coins)

[b]Local Milk (Yucky Flavours)[/b]

Mud Shake (10 coins)
Bubbly & Boring (10 coins)
Big Boo's Leftovers (6 coins)
Rainbow Muck (4 coins)[/font][/size]

Mario furrowed his brow. Everything was so expensive in the Mushroom Kingdom. Well, anything worthwhile anyway.

As Mario and Link poured over their menus, a Toadish waiter approached and stood next to their table. He was holding a notepad in one hand with a pencil in the other.

[color=sienna][b]Toad Waiter:[/b] Hey! You're Mario, aren't you? And...and...you're Link!!! What are you guys doing here?![/color]

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Well, we--[/color]

[color=sienna][b]Toad Waiter:[/b] Oh well, who cares! You're both celebrities and protectors of the peace! Stay right there and I'll come back with a couple of Apple Blast Shakes for you![/color]

The waiter awkwardly bowed and scuttled off into the rear kitchen. Mario's cheeks went red; he could hear the waiter excitedly informing the kitchen staff of the two celebrities. And within moments, both Link and Mario noticed several little faces popping out from behind the kitchen door. They'd pop into view and dissappear back into the kitchen again, followed by sounds of excited gasps and giggles.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] *sigh* Those waiters...they really need to find something else to spend their time on.[/color]

Mario nodded. He looked around the Inn, which now appeared to be back to normal, despite the earlier disturbance with the pirahna plant.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] So whattaya think that was all about before? That plant looked like it was sitting on raw cobblestones. How could it be alive without a pot of soil?[/color]

Mario put his hand under his cap and scratched his head at the thought of it.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Hmm...yeah, it beats me. I've never come across one of those things before. Though there are some pretty nasty plants back in Hyrule...[/color]

Mario stroked his moustache thoughtfully. Link stared out the window, searching for some sort of logical answer. But soon, the peace was shattered...

[color=sienna][b]Toad Waiter #2:[/b] Heyy!! You little green jerk! What do you think you're doing? You just spilled milk all over my new apron![/color]

Mario and Link spun around and looked toward the Inn's entrance. Standing there with chocolate milk all over him was Yoshi. It appeared as though he'd bumped into one of the waiters.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Who the devil is that?[/color]

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] That is Yoshi. Long, long story.[/color]

Yoshi spotted Link and Mario almost immediately (consequently forgetting his immediate troubles) and sprinted over to their table. He pulled up a chair with his chubby green hand and sat down.

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] Hey guys!! Whatcha doing here?![/color]

Mario and Link looked at each other and then looked back at Yoshi.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] We just came here for a drink. There was some trouble earlier involving a Pirahna Plant.[/color]

Yoshi shrieked his own name excitedly, causing a nearby woman's glasses to crack.

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] Ohh, well...so I guess you're having lots of adventures now? And I see you still have that yellow-water-spouty-thing. I thought you were going to get rid of that after our vacation?[/color]

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] No, no...I'm too attached to it.[/color]

Yoshi nodded and twiddled his thumbs absently. Link was resting with his chin on his hand and Mario was tapping the edge of the table and looking up at the ceiling. Nobody knew what to say.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, the Toadish Waiter emerged from the kitchen with Link and Mario's bottles of milk.

He placed both bottles on the table. Mario and Link fished around in their pockets for coins and handed them to the waiter, who promptly bowed again. But just as he was about to leave, he stood still. He leaned over and looked out the large window to the nearby street. And suddenly, his jaw dropped.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] What is it?[/color]

The waiter began shaking uncontrollably. He pointed toward the window but didn't say a word.

Link, Mario and Yoshi immediately stood up and walked over to the window to see what he was looking at. And there they saw it; at least twenty or thirty enormous Pirahna Plants making their way along the cobblestone street. As they passed people's houses, they ate everything in sight; lawn furniture, mailboxes, garden gnomes, toad hats, garbage bins...anything in sight.

By now, everyone in Mushroom Inn had worked out what was going on and were in a panic.

[color=coral][b]Madam Aroma:[/b] Whatever shall we do?! They'll eat my precious pearls, the beasts![/color]

The manager of Mushroom Inn emerged from behind the milk bar and pulled up a stool to it. He climbed up onto the stool and scrambled up onto the bartop, almost knocking a series of expensive plates onto the floor as he did so.

[color=firebrick][b]Inn Manager:[/b] Everyone! May I have your attention please?[/color]

The crowd fell silent and turned to watch the Manager.

[color=firebrick][b]Inn Manager:[/b] It appears that there is a crisis occurring as we speak! If you go outside, you will surely be eaten by ravenous Pirahna Plants.[/color]

[color=coral][b]Madam Aroma:[/b] Thank you for telling us the obvious, Mr. Obvious![/color]

The manager frowned.

[color=firebrick][b]Inn Manager:[/b] Please Madam...keep your pearls on. We don't have time to panic! I know a way out of here that doesn't include being eaten by Pirahna Plants.[/color]

Madam Aroma clutched her pearls to her chest. Even the mention of the phrase "Pirahna Plants" made her cringe.

[color=firebrick][b]Inn Manager:[/b] Underneath this very Inn is a large cellar, where I keep all of my imported milk. And in that cellar is a passageway that leads out of here. I don't know where it leads exactly, but I'd rather go down there than onto the dangerous streets![/color]

Mario jumped up onto the bar next to the Inn Manager, causing him to almost fall off onto the floor.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Everyone, Link, Yoshi and I are here! We'll help you out...but please stay calm![/color]

The room was silent, except for the sound of Yoshi giggling.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Yoshi, what is it?[/color]

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] Hehehe...I saw two flies on the wall. they were having se--[/color]

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Ssh! Enough! C'mon everyone...let'sa go![/color]

The crowd cheered and followed Mario and Link into the kitchen at the rear of the Inn. At the very back of the kitchen was a small trap door. Everyone began lining up in a straight line, entering the trap door one by one.

As they began doing so, they heard several loud crashes coming from the front of the Inn.

[color=sienna][b]Toad Waiter:[/b] I've locked the front door, but they're bashing against it and trying to get in! We don't have much time![/color]

Mario looked over at Link.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] We may have to hold them off while everyone goes down into the cellar. [/color]

Link nodded.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Yeah...okay, let's do it![/color]

[Warlock]

Zero was now on the road. Well, a city road. Just outside Light's Lab. Passing a group of freaked, little reploids, Zero instantly spotted what had scared them.

A group of Mavericks, causing a little chaos. Once again, it looked to Zero as if this was going to be like every other day. Reaching for his sabre, then igniting it in a brilliant green flash, Zero began to dash at the Mavericks, before saying the first thing you guys have ever heard him say here.

"Everyone, get out of here!" Looking directly at the Mavericks, who were actually beginning to get out of here themselves, he shouted out once again, this time in a more threatening voice. "No, not [i]you[/i] guys aren't going anywhere."

Most of these reasonably weak looking Mavericks stopped in their tracks, turning to look at Zero, perhaps liking the idea of a fight. They obviously didn't know who they were looking at. A small, round one, did know who Zero was, and began to run.

"Quickly, run! He'll kill us all!" shouted this terrified little blue Maverick.

What looked like the lead Maverick didn't seem to believe him. This large, bulky, bear looking one replied. "Hey, get back here, he's a small fry! If you don't stop and come back right now, you'll be dead!"

"No, you don't get it, he's Z-" was all this Maverick could say. The next second, a large bolt of plasma smashed into it's side, blowing it into oblivion. But it wasn't one of the Mavericks who destroyed the small, frightened one.

No, it was Zero. But then again, who else? "You were right. He [I]would[/I] die." And then, in true hero fashion, Zero continued. "And trust me, [i]you[/i] guys are next."

The lead Maverick merely laughed at this, so hard that he closed his eyes, and held his chest, bending over. "You! Defeat me? Let alone [i]all[/i] of us? Get outta 'ere!"

But sadly for this large bear Maverick, with his eyes closed, he didn't watch the chaos unfold as Zero quickly and cleanly cut all the others Mavericks in half. Most of them didn't even have time to let out a sound.

Three seconds later, Zero's sabre was right above the bear Maverick's head. "Goodbye." And with an extremely fast movement, and a sickening crack, Zero had once again, won.

Final Destination. Sure, not actually a SSB loaction, actually a SSBM location, but who's to judge? Anyway, a large, circlish arena, with a black void surrounding it. Fall of the edge, and it's going to be a [i]looooooooooooooong[/i] drop. And underneath are large steel pole like things, that start on the edges and meet in the center. You need to really see it to truly get it.

And the battle is just about to begin between two sword wielding videogame characters.

In the right corner, the Red Hunter, the boy with long blonde hair, and the wielder of a large, green sword, Zero!

And in the left, the villian from Final Fantasy Seven, the guy who killed Aries, or the other one, my FF7 knowledge is pretty bad, and the wielder of that large sword, Sephiroth!

And now, it's time for these two titans to battle.

[B]3[/B]

[B]2[/B]

[B]1[/B]

[B]GO!![/B]

Both character run at each other from both sides of the arena. The first to strike is Zero. Passing the middle first, then reaching Sephiroth, Zero jumps into the air, over Sephiroth, slashing down as he does.

Sephiroth gets hit, but not too badly. As Zero lands behind his foe, Sephiroth lunges backwards with his sword, intent on impaling Zero with it. It skims Zero torso, doing some damage, but once again, not want as much as the attacker wanted.

Now running backwards, Zero brings up his buster, and quickly begins charging it. Sephiroth charges at Zero, while the buster begins to shake violently with the built up energy. Just as Sephiroth gets within striking distance, the buster goes off, the Final Fantasy character receiving it in the chest, and sent flying back.

Zero's expression is pretty smug now, and bringing down his buster, he begins to run at the flying Sephiroth, intent of finishing him off nice and easily. That of course, is too big of a wish. For Sephiroth has just landed right near a barrel, and picking it up, thrown it at the running Zero.

It impacts, smashing into a thousand peices, before those peices just disappear. Zero is now the one who is sent flying up, then down, into the ground. He jumps to his feet as quickly as he can, and both characters clash with swords, sparks flying, and the fight continuing...

Sorry, but there's a beefy bit of a FFX spoiler in my introduction. If you want to skip it, just know that Auron manages to go from St. Bevelle, Spira to the edge of Green Hill Zone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[i]How many years had it been?[/i]

The great warrior bowed his dark haired head, streaked with some grey, but mostly snowy white now.
He permitted himself a tight lipped smile.
[i]The Farplane has no need of time, thus no way to mark the passage of it.[/i] It was true--only when friends visited, calling upon long since dead spirits, could he see into the living part of Spira...see the season that held sway, the people in the midst of their living.
He wasn't sure if he envied them.
"Auron?"
The red cloaked figure turned to face his dearest friend, High Summoner Braska. The Summoner, forever clothed in the blue velvet holy robes, smiled at Auron. "You are restless."
Behind his dark glasses, Auron blinked his one good eye--the left one--in grudging agreement. "How is it you know me so well, Lord Braska?"
"We've grown up together." The Summoner then shrugged lightly. "But even Jecht and Tidus are complaining about it. Look at you--even now you're pacing like an impatient tiger in a cage."
Auron pushed his glasses higher up his nose, to hide his narrowing russet eye--dear Braska was being a little too blunt. Slightly dishonored by the thought, he turned to his friend, resting upon the hilt of his intricately gilded Masamune.
[img]http://209.123.85.4/~otakub35/attachment.php?s=&postid=271861[/img]
"My lord, what do you suggest I do?"
Braska smiled kindly. "Why do I need to advise you when you have already chosen your mind?"
Auron shook his head in amazement. "Right as always, my friend."
"Just don't scare anyone while you're leaving, Auron. You know they'll just send a summoner after you to put you in your place."
The Crimson Warrior nodded. He looked over his shoulder at the edge of the Farplane, a mere five feet away. In the living world, a mother was speaking to her teenage son, taken from her in one of the final Sin's rampages. Somebody else was calling for Chappu. Auron raised his left eyebrow. This was going to get interesting.
Then he saw a flash of something...ghostly images...sharp teethed, red dotted plants, seven emeralds shining brightly and floating off in different directions, a bloody sword held by a black hand... Setting his impressive sword down, Auron pressed his gloved hand to his forehead. He wouldn't admit to drinking--his jug was for medicinal and revival purposes (although he was not without one or two blameless accusations). And had it not been for his own [i]unusual[/i] adventure, he wouldn't believe in spirits, either. Something was very wrong somewhere. He mentally brushed away additional ghostly images, and, now prepared with a reason for leaving, reached out a hand to touch the wall between the Farplane and the living world.
"Chappu...I...well..." Lulu hadn't visited the Farplane's living lobby in a long while, and was at a loss for words. More so when Auron's familiar figure began to stretch out of the Farplane barrier into the lobby. "AURON!"
"No time to talk."
The already pale black mage turned a shade whiter, unsure how to react. Her delay gave Auron enough time to dash past her--until he slammed into the invisible wall. The Masamune clattered to the tiled floor, and he paused, slightly stunned.
The wall was now appearing, something fuzzy beyond it--a land of green and blue. Auron studied it with a critical eye--a land obviously at the pinnacle of civilization, and, thus thought, safety and invinsibility. He instantly knew the ghostly images came from there.
"Auron, you can't just--"
Lulu's words were wasted breath as the warrior stepped into the portal. She blinked her widened eyes, still at a loss for words.
"Lulu?" Chappu called from the Farplane. "Did I see what I think I just saw?"
"Uh....no."

[SIZE=3]SUPER SMASH BROTHERS Battle![/SIZE]
Zero vs. Sephiroth

Locked together with their swords sparking, they stared into each other's eyes. A calm rage boiled within both of them, suddenly Sephiroth steps back causing Zero to stumble off guard. With a swift kick, Sephiroth hits Zero in the face. The devesting blow sends Zero flipping backwards and landing on his stomach.

Feeling the end is near, Sephiroth steps up to Zero and raises the Masamune above his head. The intent to kill was clear, as the blade came down Zero rolled away. As he did his blade came up slashing Sephiroth across the chest. Stumbling back Sephiroth clutches his chest without even a sound. Zero smugly smiles again as he gets to his feet, and then raises his own blade as he challenges Sephiroth with a 'Come on' taunt.

A smirk crosses Sephiroth's face, then it turns to his usual serious frown. Running at Zero he holds his sword out towards him, anticipating Sephiroth's next attack Zero planned out his own in his head. But just then, as Zero was about to gain the upper hand with a preemptive strike, Sephiroth leapt into the air out of sight. Looking up, Zero watched as Sephiroth disappeared. Looking around Zero became agitated, waiting for a sneak attack somewhere Zero patiently waited.

A few moments pass, yet no Sephiroth. 'I guess he ran away.' Zero thought confidently, but suddenly his senses told him to move. Diving forward, Zero managed to dodge the very attack the once ended Aeris' life. Sephiroth's blade stuck into the ground, and Zero snickered mockingly watching him attempting to pull his blade free.

Not wanting to miss his chance, however, Zero dashed forward with a shoulder block sending the former 'One Winged Angel' soaring through the air. Flipping over Sephiroth landed on his feet as his continued sliding back, until finally coming to a complete stop.

Looking up Sephiroth is about to receive a right handed blow to the face, but with his own quick reflexes he raises his left arm up to block the attack. Successfully, he does, then counters with a palm strike to the left side of Zero's temple with his right hand. Knocking him back Sephiroth steps forward with a thrusting side kick knocking him back further, then tries to follow up.

Zero however tries his hand at his own counter, hitting the ground sliding backwards he fires his buster. Sephiroth runs past his blade pulling it out of the ground as he continues forward, no with his focus back on Zero he sees the blast coming at him. Too close to dodge, Sephiroth takes it in the chest sending him back.

Both fighters lay still on the ground, their breathing heavy and their body aching. But out of no where both Zero, and Sephiroth kick up and return to a standing position then immediately dash right at each other. Both slash at each, and both make contact knocking each other back down. Slowly getting back up, they sit in a kneeling position watching each other trying to plan for the next attack.

Ack I'm so late on this sorry V_V! This is my first RPG so please pardon my newbieness!

[color=blue]Rick Hunter stood before Captain Henry Gloval with a puzzled look on his face. It was three o'clock in the morning what could Henry J. Gloval want?

Gloval: "I've called you hear today to debrief you on your next mission Rick. The time has come for the RDF defenders to explore the other realms of this planet and find a more suitable base of operations."

Rick Hunter: Expand our realm sir, but this planet hasn't been investigated thoroughly sir. The environment, life forms, and customs are unknown to us. We don't even know what currency they use, or how many races inhabit this planet?"

Gloval: Rick, that?s why I've called you in for this mission, your piloting skills are phenomenal. If anyone can find a more suitable base of operations it?s you? You'll leave for Raccoon City in 1 hour if you have anyone you want to say goodbye to I suggest you do it now. You may not come back from this mission you do understand this Lt. correct?

Rick Hunter: Yes sir, I'll set out in 30 mins, I only have two people I need to say good-bye to?

Gloval: Thirty Minutes, I said 2 hours Lt. ? What's the hurry?

Rick Hunter: I'm just curious to get out there sir, I've heard rumors about Raccoon City. I shall return to Macross City successful.

Rick Hunter departs from the Bridge of the SDF, hoping to find his two-love interest of Lynn Minmei and Lisa. However only Lisa can be found. He bids farewell to his commanding officer, and heads out for Raccoon City in his standard VF-19 Vertiech Jet. While in the air Rick contemplates his love for the popular singer Lynn Minmei, and his mixed filling for his commanding officer Lisa Hayes.

Rick Hunter: I can't believe Minmei didn't even have the decency to respond to the email I left her. Sometimes I question why I even bother with her. Lisa seems to care about me but maybe it?s the mission she's more concerned with. Anyway it doesn't matter I'm a pilot and Minmei's a popular singer it would never worked out. We live in two separate worlds, one I can never hope to live in!

Just as this thought passes through Rick's mind the VF-19 Engines start to catch fire the plane shakes violently from side to side. Rick watch's in distress as the dashboard computers and instruments start to dim. The VF-19 starts to lose altitude fast things look grim for or hero.

Rick Hunter: Damn it, the controls aren't responding I'm going to crash. If I had known I was going to die, I would have told Minmei I loved her, this looks like the end for me!

Rick Braces for impact the VF-19 crashes and burns. A loud explosion can be seen, followed by a Mushroom Shape cloud. Luckily Rick Hunter has survived the crash and made it to his destination of Raccoon City.

Rick Hunter: I'm Alive! But how, well one thing is for certain the VF-19 has seen better days. Looks like I made it to Raccoon City better Radio in headquarters to report. Bridge Control this is 1st Lt. Rick Hunter reporting, Bridge Control do you hear me. Damn it the radio is dead. Now what am I going to do, there isn't a person miles from here! Hmm...what's.......that noise......?

The moaning and groaning of creatures can be heard in the background. As Rick focuses his eyes, the shadowy figures begin to take focus. They are Zombies, better known as the Living dead! Hundreds of them begin to surround Rick Hunter in a circle.

Rick Hunter: What the hell are these things, and better yet how am I going to stop them I have no weapons onboard the VF-19?[/color]

[The Vampire: Ed]

Slamming into a wall, Jim keeps his back against it apparently hiding from something. Peeking around the corner Jim watches a man with a yellow vest, and army styled pants running down the street. Overwhelmed with fear of something he runs right past Jim's position without even noticing him. As the stranger stormed past him like a bat out of hell, he caught a glimps of the 'S.T.A.R.S.' logo placed on several areas of his uniform.

'I wonder what he's running from.' Jim thought to himself, then suddenly he hears a deep scratchy voice 'S.T.A.R.S.....' Looking around Jim sees nothing, then continues out into the street. Looking around he watches a burning wreckage ahead of him, slowly approaching it he covers his eyes a bit. His eyes were brought to a mirror in the wreckage, his image reflected in it but something else was seen as well.

Squinting his eyes looking at the mirror he sees a large coated human like shadow, immediately he suspects Sephiroth is there to do him in. Spinning around quickly into a kneeling position he aim his gun screaming 'DON'T MOVE!!!', but his gun seems to be pointed at somethings knee.

'Funny, I don't remember you being this big.' Jim said as he slowly looked up, suddenly his eyes came in contact with the face of his target. Seeing a huge beast with one eye, and half of it face stitched up Jim's jaw drops. 'You're not Sephiroth...' Jim begins to say, but he's quickly back handed across the road through the window of general store. Luckily for him he had landed in the toilet paper isle, hitting the wall of soft tissue paper his fall had been broken.

Laying there slightly confused, Jim heard the voice again 'S.T.A.R.S....' Looking around, Jim shook his head as he replied 'No...more like birds...' Finally realizing his currant situation he looks back towards the window watching the huge creature approaching the store. Rolling off of the shelves laying on it's side, Jim ducked behind a check out counter close by.

'What the hell is that?' Jim screamed in his head as he shook violently with fear. Peeking over the counter Jim sees nothing, thinking it left he stood up. Just then it stepped out from around the selves across from the counter, it mutters 'S.T.A.R.S....'

'S**T! It seen me! Jim slides over the counter and tries to run to the door but gets cut off by the monster. With another backhand Jim is sent flying against another set of selves. Laying there Jim thought he was certainly going to die, but from outside a crash is heard. The creature looks out of the broken window, and jumps through the roof of the store. Jim just rolled off of the shelves, and crawled his way to the window.

Once there Jim watches a car being knocked over, and out of the street. The inferno still rages, but a lone figure is seen walking straight through the flames. It was Sephiroth looking as emotionally dead as ever, through the fire he walked down the street. Suddenly, 'S.T.A.R.S....' is heard again.

'Oh man, what now?! If something in this city doesn't kill me, I'll probably die of a friggin' heart attack!' Jim muttered to himself. Sephiroth suddenly came to a stop, but stared straight ahead. 'Oh s**t! Did he hear me?!' Jim thought to himself as he shook again. However Sephiroth did not stop for that reason, rather then that he had spotted the large beast that Jim had encountered.

It was watching him from the roof of the general store, Sephiroth was aware of it's presence but he did not make a move. Suddenly the creature dropped down trying to crush Sephiroth with an ax handle smash. But Sephiroth side steps, and swings the Masamune slicing across it's chest. It roared with pain and anger, then attacked. A right hand caught Sephiroth in the chest sending him against a parked car, but he quickly recovered and ran forward impaling the creature with his sword.

It roared again trying to punch Sephiroth once more, but it's clumsy swing misses. Sephiroth begins to look annoyed, with a twist he sliced into the monster more. Finally, the blade handle rested against the monsters stomach. The creature too seemed to be agitated now, and grabbed Sephiroth by the throat. Twisting the sword in the monster's gut, Sephiroth continued to impale the creature even though it's hand was crushing his throat.

Jim watched amazed at the scene he was witnessing, and clutched his gun tighter in case they got to close to him. Neither one seemed to back down even if they were killing each other, suddenly remembering the scene with the dog Jim became aware of the possibilities. 'Did he help me? Or was he trying to get me, and miss?' Jim questioned himself.

'Well, I'll never know if he's dead. Will I?' Jim questioned himself again as he aimed the gun at the back of the creatures head. BANG! The gun fired hitting the creature, and it roared in pain again but it kept going. Another shot goes off, then another. Finally, it weakened and it's hand released Sephiroth's throat. Backing up a bit Sephiroth raised his foot, and kicked the monster off of his blade sending it against the wall of the general store. It fell flat on it's face, but got back to it's feet again.

Sephiroth held his hand to his face again, then muttered 'Lightning.' sending forth a bolt of lightning striking the beast and slamming it against the wall again. This time it collapsed to it's knees, then lets out it's final...well only word 'S.T.A.R.S...' before falling to it's face. Now looking towards the broken store window, he watches Jim slowly stepping over the wall. Jim makes his way toward Sephiroth with his gun pointed at him, Sephiroth lowers his sword. Jim cautiously walks up to Sephiroth, then lowers his gun when he believes himself to be safe.

'So....you're one tough guy. I'll give you that. But I'm still confused, you killed everyone back at the lab and almost barbecued me, which I'm VERY confused about, but you help me when that whacked out mutt tried to rip me apart. What's up?' Jim questions Sephiroth as he just looks at him. For a couple moments Jim just looks at Sephiroth awaiting an answer, but so far it's just been stares exchanged.

'I'm guessing you're the quite type.... Anyway, were you trying to help me when you killed the dog or did you just miss me?' Jim questioned Sephiroth again this time more jokingly. Suddenly Sephiroth just back hands Jim sending him flying back into the store and over the counter. Sephiroth just smiles, and walks down the road again.

Laying behind the counter, Jim lays staring at the ceiling. 'Owww....' was all Jim could say as he tried sitting up, but banged his head against the counter top falling on his back again. 'OUCH!!! DAMN IT!!!' Jim screamed as he quickly got up, and stepped over the counter. Running towards the door, Jim knocks it open and looks down the street. Sephiroth was gone again, and no where to be seen. 'I HATE when he does that!' Jim said, then grined 'Hey, buddy, you see where he went?' he asked as he looked towards the monster's location. But nothing was there either, the monster too was gone.

'All right, that's it! If I live through this, I'm going to go find David Copperfield and beat the living s**t out of him!' Jim yelled in annoyance and stormed off down the street as well.

[Guest Hikaru Ichijyo]

[Color=blue]As the zombies begin to get closer and closer Rick's options begin to fade.

Rick Hunter: This is definitely not good, what am I going to do these things apparently are Zombies. I thought those things were only in the movies, apparently not. The figures I see before me are quite real indeed.

Just then the VF-19 begins to spark, a blaze of fire starts up, the VF-19 is on fire. Rick Gazes as the situation goes from bad to worse.

Rick Hunter: God Damn it, why do I get myself into these situations? Wait a minute, fire....... if I allow those Zombies to get a little closer they might get caught in the explosion. Hmm...This might be tricky but it?s worth a shot.

The Zombies begin to make their move they creep closer and closer. The putrid smell of in bombing fuel singes the nose hairs of Rick Hunter. The fire continues to burn closer and closer to the fuel tanks. Rick leaps out of the plane using a piece of scrap metal from the VF-19 to Plunge through the Zombies like a battering ram. The VF-19 explodes taking most of the Zombies with it.

Rick Hunter: Whew that was too close for comfort I better get out of here before Night of the Living Dead Part II starts.

Rick runs through the desolate city streets hoping to find a soul of humanity left. Rick notices a general store's window has been shattered. Apparently what ever happened here was serious. Just then Rick hears a dark voice screaming S.....T......A......R....S!

Rick Hunter: What ever that was it didn't sound pleasant I'm not sticking around here to find out. My main priority right now is to find my way out of Raccoon City. Something evil has taken over this city. It's quite apparent the SDF-1 cannot set up base here. But how am I going to get out of here? Maybe I should look around for some survivors?

Rick continues on his unknown destination hoping to find something or someone in this town.

Rick Hunter: Is anyone out there? Hello.....? Can anyone help me? Damn it, its no use everyone is either dead or turned into the undead.

Rick then notices that a huge figure has emerged from the Shadows. Screaming Stars, Rick starts to run fearing for his life but the beast fires a rocket at him, Rick manages to avoid the rocket but ends up tripping. The beast continues to close in on Rick until he is up close and personal with the beast.

???: S.....t......a......r...s

Rick Hunter: I don't know what you?re talking about, I'm not this star person or group your talking about. I'm Rick Hunter 1st Lt. of the Robotech Defense forces.

The Beast grabbed Rick and throws him across the street, the beast has spared his life and disappears into the shadows in which he came.

Rick Hunter: *Pants* I wonder what that was about? He mentioned stars but why didn't he kill me, what was that thing after or who? This mystery continues to get weirder and weirder. Is that a lab over there? I might as well check, there could be supplies in there.

Rick Hunter heads off towards the Lab with the huge Umbrella emblem on it not knowing his next move and fearing for his life.

[size=1][color=seagreen]Lol, it seems you've already found a picture to put in my profile, CWB. ;)[/color][/size]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[color=indigo][i]Link unsheathes the Master Sword and takes the Mirror Shield off his back, and Mario readies FLUDD's Squirt Nozzle. Then the three of them step into the lobby, and face the door which is being pounded on by the huge Piranha Plants outside.[/i]

Link: That door isn't going to hold much longer. Get ready!

[i]Link stands firmly in front of the door, holding the Master Sword straight out, pointing at the door. As the first hole in the door appears, Link fires an energy bolt from the Sword. It flies through the hole in the door, and a roar can be heard from outside.[/i]

Link: Looks like I got one.

Mario: Don't get too cocky.

[i]Link grins as he changes his stance to one more suited to normal swordplay, rather than shooting, and raises his shield. Just then the door breaks down, and a gigantic Piranha Flower bursts through. Mario quickly sprays it with a blast of water, and Link takes off its head with one quick chop, before stepping back away from the next plant lunging through the doorway, teeth snapping. Then Yoshi opens his mouth, and his tongue flies out, grabbing the Piranha Flower. The tongue is then retracted, and Yoshi gulps down the monster in one swallow.[/i]

Link: What was that?!

Yoshi: Me getting a free meal!

[i]Yoshi slurps up another of the advancing Piranha Flowers, as Mario proceeds to spray one after another to stun them, and then jump on them to squish them. Link, however, goes for a more direct approach. Blocking a lunge from one of the Flowers with his shield, he starts to hack off heads like there's no tomorrow. They manage to actually make some progress out into the street, and are confronted with hordes of the vile vegetation. This, however, turns out to be a mistake, as the small group is quickly surrounded.[/i]

Mario: Mama-mia, what a mess!

Link: Don't count us out yet! Mario, spray all the ones right around us, and then jump up onto a roof. You too, Yoshi!

[i]Link crouches down, shield raised, sword held out behind him. The Master Sword starts to glow a faint blue, getting brighter, until it changes to red. Mario does a Spin Jump and sprays water at the same time, dousing the surrounding Piranha Plants. Then he and Yoshi leap up onto a nearby rooftop, just in time to avoid Link's fully charged Spin Attack. Waves of red energy emanate from the Master Swords blade, slicing through the Piranha Plants as easily as if they weren't there.[/i]

Yoshi: Wow, that was fantastic!

[i]The wave of Piranha Plants seems to slack off after that, but only for a little while. And, when they start coming out in full force again, it really is in full force. Among the smaller ones are much larger ones, lumbering down the street at them.[/i]

Link: Um...guys? I, uh, think this would be a good time to, um, leave.

Mario: Yes, um, right...

Yoshi: Lets split!

[i]The three of them leap back through the inns doorway, and run down into the cellar. They lock the doors on their way down, and then practically jump down the trap door. At the bottom of a small ladder, then start running down a musty old tunnel, which is barely lit by a few old candles hung along the wall.[/i][/color]

[James]

Mario, Link and Yoshi began running along the darkened corridor. They could hear the sound of voices echoing along the hallway. Finally, they saw the crowd of people that had been in the Mushroom Inn earlier. They appeared to be talking amongst themselves; some were stuttering and shrieking every so often.

[color=coral][b]Madam Aroma:[/b] Whatever shall we do? We can't go anywhere now![/color]

Madam Aroma was dabbing at her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] What's wrong?[/color]

The crowd parted into two groups. And immediately, Link noticed it; they had hit a dead end.

[color=coral][b]Madam Aroma:[/b] Those Pirahna Plants are sure to catch us down here! We're like sitting ducks![/color]

Link looked around. All he could see were candles lining the walls and a large blotch of paint on the wall at the end of the corridor. There didn't seem to be any doors or stairs anywhere.

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] I'm hungry![/color]

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] You just ate a big pirahna plant![/color]

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] Yea I know. My tummy is bubbling...I think I shouldn't have eaten it. :nervous: [/color][color=sienna][b]*burp!*[/color]

[color=green]Link:[/b] Okay everyone...there has to be a way out of here! Where's the Inn Manager?[/color]

[color=sienna][b]Inn Manager:[/b] I'm here! [/color]

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] You told us that this corridor leads somewhere...but there are no doors or anything. Don't you know how to get out of here?[/color]

The Inn Manager rubbed his 'shroom cap thoughtfully.

[color=sienna][b]Inn Manager:[/b] I don't know...I'm sure there was a door down here somewhere![/color]

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Okay everyone...here's what we'll do. Everyone knock on the walls and pull the candles. Maybe there's a secret passage or something.[/color]

Everybody nodded and began tapping the walls and pulling at the candle holders. Only Madam Aroma was left standing in the middle of the corridor, fanning herself with an ornate Hyrulian fan. She seemed horrified by the idea of actually [i]touching[/i] the grimey walls.

Mario made his way back along the corridor. He was jumping up and down, punching the ceiling...trying to find a loose brick or trap door handle. But it was no use. After ten minutes of searching, nothing had been found. And nobody wanted to go [i]too[/i] far back, for fear that the pirahna plants would hear them.

Mario looked around helplessly. And then he noticed something; the big blotch of paint on the rear wall. Why on earth would there be a blotch of paint on the wall all the way down here?

He walked into the middle of the corridor and twisted FLUDD's handle, sending a forceful stream of water over his head, directly toward the rear wall. As soon as he did so, the paint began dripping down over the floor...dissolving on impact.

Everybody in the hallway stopped and looked at what Mario was doing. He twisted the handle again to stop the water. And now it was more clear; a brick was missing from the wall.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Aha! Is this what we were looking for?[/color]

Link approached the wall and examined the gap carefully.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] Hmmm...[/color]

He removed his Goron Sword (which was longer and thinner than the Master Sword) and inserted it into the gap. For a moment, nothing happened. Link pushed the sword in further and moved it around, searching for some sort of trigger.

And finally, they heard it; [color=red][i]SNAP![/i][/color]

Link stepped away from the wall. The hallway started shaking a little, causing small pieces of dust and debris to fall down from the ceiling. Yoshi clutched Mario...Madam Aroma clutched her pearls...and the Inn Manager clutched his 'shroom cap. For a moment, they all thought the roof was going to collapse. But then, as suddenly as it had started, the rumbling stopped. The bricks at the end wall began shifting sideways. They were opening up...making a gap in the wall. There was only darkness beyond; nobody could see anything further. In fact, the hallway didn't even seem to continue past the opening.

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] I don't understand...it's just black. There's nothing there...[/color]

Link unsheathed his sword and carefully approached the black patch on the wall. And just as he got close...

[color=orange][b][i]~Bloop bloop bloop!~[/i][/b][/color]

A gigantic green pipe emerged from the black opening, hitting Link and sending him tumbling backwards into the crowd.

Mario smiled. He had seen these things before. This was their way out. And in good time too; the sounds of pirahna plants could be heard echoing down the corridor. The plants had obviously found a way inside the trap door...this was their only way out.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Everyone walk into that pipe! It's our only way out of here![/color]

[color=sienna][b]Inn Manager:[/b] But Mario...where will this take us? I don't know if I want to go in there...it looks cold and dark![/color]

Mario glanced at the pipe again.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Er, well, this is not just your average transport pipe...it's a [i]warp pipe[/i].
[/color]

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] A Warp Pipe?[/color]

Mario nodded and adjusted his cap.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Yeah. That means...once you step in, you don't know where you'll go. I mean, it won't take you to the [i]next room[/i]...and usually it won't take you anywhere [i]nearby[/i]. We're talking major travel here..[/color]

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] Oooo I love travel![/color]

The entire crowd turned and looked at Yoshi. He didn't even notice; he was now too busy wrapping his tongue around his body, trying to make himself spin on the spot by quickly sucking it back into his mouth.

[color=coral][b]Madam Aroma:[/b] But Mario...what if we end up in Raccoon City or something like that? We're Nintendo characters...we're not used to that kind of carnage and gore![/color]

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Oh come now Madam Aroma...I'm sure this pipe could [i]never[/i] lead to a place like that. I've heard of cross platform gaming, but [i]that[/i] would be ridiculous![/color]

This seemed to calm Madam Aroma somewhat, though she was still clutching her pearls to her chest.

The roaring and rumbling noises coming from the other end of the corridor were getting louder now. They didn't have anymore time to waste.

Mario stood at the mouth of the pipe and pointed to it.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Come [i]on[/i] everyone! Who knows, this pipe may lead to Delfino Island! Wouldn't you rather be there than [i]here[/i]?[/color]

The Mushroom Inn patrons nodded and began lining up infront of the pipe, diving in one at a time (the behavior of the patrons somewhat reminded Mario of little characters that follow orders and do whatever their commander says...though he couldn't quite remember what they were called. Must have been a dream he'd had before).

Finally, only four people were left. Mario, Link, Yoshi and Madam Aroma.

Madam Aroma looked timidly into the pipe.

[color=coral]Will you please go with me? I'm scared![/color]

Link, Mario and Yoshi looked at each other. They all nodded and walked into the mouth of the pipe. Just as they did so, they saw a huge pirahna plant approaching from the darkness.

[color=red][b]Mario:[/b] Quick! It probably won't take us to the same place as the pirahna plants...everyone group goes somewhere different! [i]Dive![/i][/color]

Mario grabbed Madam Aroma's hand and dived forward onto his stomach into the pipe. Madam Aroma jumped on his back and held onto his hat, screaming loudly as they dissappeared into the void (her screams were most likely related to the fact that one of her expensive shoes had fallen off as Mario had dived forward).

Yoshi held Link's hand as they approached the mouth of the pipe.

[color=seagreen][b]Yoshi:[/b] :D This'll be fun![/color]

[color=green][b]Link:[/b] :therock: [/color]

And as the huge pirahna plant swung itself forward with an open mouth full of massive teeth, Yoshi and Link dashed into the pipe, having absolutely no idea where they'd end up...

(Still without a working map link here--could someone send it to me?)

It was a green, spacious, and cheerful looking place. Auron was already growing weary with it. The only thing that was keeping his interest was the strange spirals looping everywhere. He scoffed--why built the road when you can just step across the bottom of the loop? Which is exactly what he did.
He paused and rested his sword on his right shoulder as he heard a tinny voice. The tinny voice squeaked loudly as it grew closer.
"Must get back, must get back, sparkly thingy to go to Doc and must get back!"
Auron had seen many fiends in his days, but never ones that were part machina. This one foot fiend seemed to be a cross between a skunk and a hedgehog, its white and black quills sharp needles. In its metal sheathed claws it carried something that reflected the vivid green of the surroundings.
In its rush to get to wherever it was going, the fiend did not watch its step, bumping into the warrior's leg. Auron shot a look at it, and nudged it to one side, as if to send it on its way again.
It squealed indignantly, then bounced back, and arched its quills. "Hey old man, HEY old man!" it yelped at him, rattled its spines together. "You not getting this, nuh uh, not for you, you can't get it!"
Auron closed his eye for a moment, dredging up a secret reserve of patience. "Fine, just go."
"No, you get me, you get me when I turn my back. Gonna get you first, yeah!"
"So eager to die?" [i]Yevon, so much for being a nice guy.[/i]
The fiend rolled itself into a spike ball, and flung itself at Auron, who easily deflected the creature with the flat of his sword. Still rolling, the creature lunged again. Auron waiting for just the right moment, and, using his Masamune like a bat, cracked it across the creature's back, sending him flying for 20 feet.
The fiend uncurled and set up a pathetic wailing. "Waahhhaaahhh....nasty old man not let me pass, gonna get it, yes I am!"
"Oh, shut up."
The fiend glared at Auron, rattled his spines together. With a silly tinny growl, he charged once more, and Auron took a stance, ready for him.
Then the warp pipe appeared.
It popped the fiend so high in the air that Auron lost sight of it in the sky. Something up there glittered green, conviently marking the spot.
[color=red]"Mama MIA!"[/color]
[color=green]"What the--?"[/color]
"My shoe, my shoe, my imported shoe, you dirty old plumber!"
*WHACK!*
[color=red]"Owwie..."[/color]
[color=green]"OooooOOOoo...Yoshi!"[/color]
Auron stared in disbelief. Unsure how to react, he resumed his fighting stance...instantly scaring the lizard fiend onto the plumber's head.
The glittering green thing fell from the sky, bounced off the lizard's head, and landed in Auron's slinged hand. Raising an eyebrow, he tucked it into his sleeve for future investigation.
"Who are you?" he barked roughly at the pipe dwellers.
Yoshi instantly fainted from fear...landing on Madame Aroma. She shrieked and kicked at him, yelling something about touching "scaly slimy snaky skin". Behind them was a person that reminded Auron of Tidus, dressed in green clothes. The plumber, dressed in red and blue, seemed harmless enough--besides, he had good taste in colors.
Auron relaxed. These people...and lizard?...obviously meant no harm. But who were they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, FYI, did you know Yoshi was touted as a Dragon before people claimed he was a Dinosaur? I still say he's a Dragon, so there! ^^
