Chapter 3: SIE Strikes Back

[Naked Snake II]

(By now every SSS fighter has returned to the HQ in response of a sudden emergency call)

Everyone suddenly entered the communication center. It was a large dark room with computers, panels, screens and other communication and technological items everywhere. In the center of the front wall stood a massive plasma screen illuminating static white light in the room.

KIN: Smashbro, do you know what's going on?

SMASHBRO: I have no clue what so ever.

GEO: Good thing the tournament just ended too.

Suddenly characters from Brawl entered the room as well. They had no clue what's going on as well.

SMASHBRO: ROB, do you know?

R.O.B: Rob know nothing. Scence danger. Scence danger.
(R.O.B begins to spaz out and keep repeating "Scence danger. Scence Danger)
META: The fool has been doing that all day today.

LINK: Well I think he's short cuircuting or something.

IKE: Last we checked, his batteries where fine.

KIN: I'm not getting a good feeling about this.

GEO: Me neither.

Suddenly an SSS personnel walked in the room full of fighters. He was a tall guy wearing futuristic looking glasses, a gray moustache and a black suit.

PERSONNEL: Have a seat everyone.

Everyone silenced and sat down.

GRAYSON: I am here on behalf of Smashville. My name is Grayson, and I'm Mayor of Smashville's Secretary of Defense.

GEO: You called us I take it?

GRAYSON: Yes I did. A few days after the sudden Primid attack on your HQ, we had our defense systems up to protect us incase something like that happened to Smashville. It did. A renegade ninja broke into our systems, shut them down, and gathered top secret information on them as well. That following day we were attacked as well by Primids. We managed to push them out of Smashville, luckily only few were hurt.

SMASHBRO: Do you know who did it?

GRAYSON: We have reason to believe it was the Subspace Imperial Empire, or you know them as the SIE.

SMASHBRO: Well that would make scence. They attacked us as well with their Primids and took out our defenses.

GRAYSON: Presicely as I said. We intercepted a message from the SIE to the ninja. We couldn't find out the next move, or the ninja's location, but we got a name.

GEO: Who is it?

GRAYSON: The ninja goes by the name, Saint.

KIN: I've heard of Saint. He's an expert in intel, espionage, fighting, you name it. He's a wanted ninja in Islophoth as well.

GEO: So what do you need us to do?

GRAYSON: Well I would like some backup in Smashville, and some guarding your HQ, someone as a scout to pick up if they can find out there next move, and people trying to locate Saint.

MM: Well I have a question? Do you know why they wanted to attack Smashville of all places?

GRAYSON: We have captured a Primid, ripped out all the info and got this. The SIE wants to conquer our planet and galaxy. The only thing in their way is you guys. They tried to eliminate you guys already a few times I hear. Transporting all those weapons and people here takes some time and money. Our theory is that they want Smashville to be a Main Base and near-by villages to control for resources. SIE is located in space so they need more and more as there Empire grows.

GEO: That does make scence. But how did you find out about the call and Saint?

GRAYSON: As Saint was getting to his Flyer (flying mini ship like those on DBZ or something like that), we shot it down making it crash somewhere in DK Jungle. We did not persuit Saint and decided to keep an eye in him and intercepted the call.

KIN: So Saint's in the DK Jungle still?

GRAYSON: No. the SIE brought a transport to bring Saint to there HQ. Luckily when we shot his Flyer down, the info he gathered was destroyed.

GEO: Alright we'll get on it now.

GRAYSON: Thank you all very much. You'll see me more and more as time goes by.

Grayson leaves the Communication Center.

[smashbro]

"Alright everyone, seems like we need to track down this Saint guy," said Smashbro, walking up to the front of the stage. "Probably most of you should search DK's jungle, to investigate the wreck. Some people could go to Smashville, and talk to the towns people. Aside from that there isnt much we can do at the moment, but we should investigate this. Yes, Link."
"Why do you take charge every time?" he asked angrily.
"Because..."
"I mean, we can think for ourselves, right?" he said, standing up. The crowd looked confused, unsure of who they should listen to.
"I just want to do what's best for the SSS and the world."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHATS BEST?"
"BECAUSE I WANT THERE TO BE NO EVIL!"
"YEAH, THATS GOOD AND ALL, BUT THEN WHO WOULD WE HAVE TO FIGHT? YOU HAVE A LIFE TO GO BACK TO, SO IT WOULDNT AFFECT YOU, BUT THE REST OF US COULDN'T BE ORDINARY PEOPLE, LIKE YOU'RE USED TO!"
"HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK? I TAKE SH** FROM PEOPLE EVERYDAY. YEAH I SWORE GET OVER IT. BUT I'D RATHER BE HERE. AND KEEPING THE ENEMY OUT THERE WOULD MAKE THINGS STAY THE SAME. BUT IM NOT DOING THAT. IM DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR THE WORLD. It'll be sad when this is all over, but at least people will be safe. Listen to me if you want, impeach me, kill me, whatever. All I know is I just want to help. But right now, I have more important matters to attend to. I'd like to stay here with R.O.B. and Smashbag." (he's the sand bag from the homerun contest)

Smashbro got off the stage, and went to talk to Geo.
"I don't really trust that guys who talked to us," smashbro said. "He never gave a reason why they know Saint's name. Just sayin' to you cause you'd be a good candidate for leader." And with that, smashbro ran to the library, where he began to read.

[Dobs]

~Dobs, Mariella~
{SSS HQ}

Mariella stepped out of the crowd of SSS and brawlers.

Mariella: Dobs and i would like to track down this Saint guy.
Dobs: Its kinda what we do. We track down bad people and put them to justice.
Mariella: If you don't mine, we would like to lead the hunt for Saint.
Dobs: Whaddya say Smashy?

[smashbro]

Smashbro heard his nickname said in the meeting room, and went back out there.
"Sure, that would be great. Get a team together and..." he trailed off as Link glared at him. "Do whatever you want. But I'm going to be in the library...studying...yeah." smashbro then handed a note to Dobs.

That would be great, try to get a good group together. I don't know who would be able to help you the best, but wait for some members to join the party too. good luck. and sorry i can't help, but I have more important needs to attend to right now. Hopefully its not important. but whatever.

~~~Smashy

[Mariomasher]

OOC:MM died so replace MM with Necro

Necro:Hey, Smash! How about I take people to Smashville to get some info, huh?

Luca:And I can follow 'cause this SIE and SSE stuff is gett'n personal

Voice in Luca's Head:It will be personal!It will overwhelm you and cause you to join me, BROTHER!

Luca:*Out loud*NO! I CAN'T JOIN YOU!

Necro Looked at him

necro:Everything okay, Luca?

Luca:Yeah. . .yeah im fine.

Necro:Ok. So what ya say smash?

[smashbro]

Smashbro listened to what Necro was saying, while he was trying to read in the library.
"Yeah, sure, sounds good." said smashbro, not looking up. Smashbag made motions with his...head? and ROB translated.
"Smashbag says that you don't seem like you were paying attention.
"thats good..." said smashbro, "I mean I was. Necro, that sounds good, but everyone doesnt have to come up to me and ask permission about what theyre going to do. And R.O.B. How do you know what Smashbag meant?"
"I just understand him."

[Mariomasher]

Necro:Okay I'll start rounding up some people. MARIO!Your comin with me.

Mario:Okay.

Necro:Hm. . .And Fox!

Fox:Gotcha!

Necro:Hm. . .And one more. . .Smash who else should i take?

[Naked Snake II]

Geo and Kin walked out of the Room of chaos. Geo kept on thinking about what Smashbro said to him. How did Grayson know it was Saint?

KIN: You okay? you looked puzzled.

GEO: Huh? Oh it's nothing I was just thinking.

At the other side of the hallway, they heard Link.

LINK: Smashbro.....

KIN: Hey Link. What's up?

LINK: What.

GEO: What was all that back there?

LINK: What. I was just speaking out my mind. You know something the SSS or should I say Smashbro takes from us.

KIN: What are you talking about? Smashbro is looking out for all of us.

LINK: No he's not. Quit fooling yourselves. It's just a coincidence every disicion is for him that turns out best for us all. Think about it.

GEO: Link, I think you've been eating too many Deku Nuts now.

Link pushes Geo to the wall

LINK: SHUT UP!!! I'm going to speak my mind again! I don't like Smashbro. Who made him Dictrator of the World?!!! I could do a much better job than him!! Why do me and you have to take orders from him. I could take him by using a wooden Sword!!

Geo punches Link in the gut bringing him to his knees gasping for air.

GEO: Shut up Link! You don't know Smashbro at all!!! He's only telling us what to do now to organize what we do for now!!! He gives out suggestions and people follow cause of the fact that he's right! I think he's doing a great job right now something you couldn't do so shut up!!!! And he could take you on easily!!!

KIN: Come on. Let's go Geo.

Kin and Geo walk away as Link stood up and left the other way arm near his gut.

GEO: How blind can you get! What nerve!

Suddenly Dobs, Marella, and Necro approached them.

DOBS and NECRO: Hey guys.

GEO and KIN: Hey.

DOBS: So what did you think about this "Saint" guy?

KIN: I think we should find him. Fast.

NECRO: Geo, wanna come with my party to investigate Smashville?

DOBS: Or do you want to come with us and search around DK Jungle?

NECRO: Dobs. Back off. I asked him first.

GEO: lol Easy guy. Me and Kin will be here and there between both the Jungle and Smashville.

DOBS: Sounds good.

NECRO: What did you think about Link's.....Idea on Smashbro?

GEO: I just confronted him on it. Kinda don't want to talk about it right now.

NECRO: Ah. I see.

MARELLA: Do you want us to inform you Geo?

GEO: Yes. Same with you too Necro. Anything you find that's important, contact me and I'll be there as fast as I can.

NECRO: You got it. I should be getting ready now.

DOBS: Me too. I'll see you guys later.

Dobs, Marella, and Necro left to get a party ready

KIN: Where to first?

GEO: Let's just scout around the HQ first

KIN: Alright

[Mariomasher]

NECRO:Alright so we got Luca, Mario, Fox Dobs, Mariella, And i. . .so that good or no?

Luca:. . .*Sigh*

Necro:Something bothering you Luca?

Luca:It's just. . .MM. . .

Necro:Whos MM?

Luca Gave Necro A nasty Look

Necro:Okay. . .I'll back off!

[MortalSuperNinja]

Mortal Kirby zoomed toward Necro and his group.
Mortal:I've heard of you SSS guys,and I need some backup
against the SIE and my archenemies,the five warlords.So can
I join?I'll bring my allies with me.

(what mortal says is translated when it doesn't say in japanese
and when it is translated other characters can understand him)

[bobsnicket]

[E. Gadd's Lab: Creators' Alliance]

Snicket sighed. "I believe it will take a while for the SSS to come into a direct confrontation with the SIE. Professor, I have one more question."

"Yes, what is it, lad?" E. Gadd asked.

"Will the forumers notice this change if we activate the...er, your machine? Will they be able to tell the difference until they actually try to use their powers?"

The professor chuckled. "That, Snicket, is one of the things we can choose. So I assume you would like them to remain oblivious to this change?"

Bob nodded, Sandshrew still on his shoulder.

E. Gadd pressed a few keys and buttons on his wondrous machine, and said, "There. All according to your specifications. How much longer do you wish to wait?"

Snicket stared past Gadd at the wall. "Oh, I suggest that the time to act is now; the SIE will be completely eliminated unless we do something. You have permission to activate!"

"Here we go!" the professor dramatically moved his hand over a large red button in the middle of the control panel, and with a flourish, pressed it with his palm.

The large machine whirred louder and louder, and the energy inside the glass dome glowed brighter and brighter. Then suddenly a dazzling blue jet of energy shot out of the dome, through the ceiling, and spread out in all directions, although mostly towards three places: The SSS HQ, Smashville, and the DK Jungle.

Snicket thought about what he had just done. "Professor, are you absolutely sure they won't notice?"

"Well," E. Gadd wavered a bit. "The blue energy will be invisible to all other than us; but it is possible that one or two of them might feel a slight lunge in their stomachs and a tingling in their fingers...there will be no way to figure out what has caused this, however, so it should be fine."

"Very well," Snicket replied. He and Sandshrew walked out of the building to watch the spread of the discreet blue energy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: NOTE TO ALL:

ALL THE FORUMERS HAVE NOW BEEN RESTRICTED TO THE ABILITIES OF NORMAL HUMANS. THIS MAY AFFECT SOME MORE THAN OTHERS; A COUPLE MAY NOTICE IT VIA THE SYMPTOMS LISTED ABOVE.

[Big Boss]

Kin: Gah!?.....what the.....woa....

Geo: Is something the matter?

Kin: I got a weird felling...But its gone now....

Dobs: You felt It too!?

Kin: Yea....But Im fine now..What about you!?

Dobs: Im good too....

Geo: Ok...Well Back to Buisness

^^^ the song smashbro sings

Smashbro, when the button was pressed to take away their powers, felt nothing. He was listening to his ipod, and reading through books when ROB and Smashbag came in. Smashbro sang out loud,
“Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's the king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost words.
They say it's time that you lost your crown.”
“Smashbag, why do you think I became the, well, not exactly leader but kind of?” asked smashbro.
Smashbag just tilted his…head?
“You were one of the original members,” said R.O.B.
“But there were a lot of other people in from the start.”
“But you were one of the first.”
“I know…but I never acted like a leader before. In my real home, I would just be the person who I needed to be. Which was usually nobody. I just stepped up because nobody else knew what was going on. Now…” there was a short pause. “Do you think Link is right?”
“About what?” asked ROB.
“Should there be no leader of us, and I am doing something bad by stepping up?”
“No, your heart is in the right place, you’re doing the right thing.”
“But isn’t it about what the whole group wants, not just one person?”
“If I it wasn’t you, someone else would have stepped up as leader. Like Geogod or MVPGUY22. What happened to him anyways?”

[Naked Snake II]

GEO: Alright I'm going to fly to DK jungle first.

KIN: Let's go.

Geo tries to change...but couldn't

KIN: Well what are you waiting for?

GEO: Some thing's not right.

KIN: What do you mean?

GEO: Try changing.

Kin tries but tries too hard and goes red

KIN: What. This doesn't make scene. What's going on?

GEO: Even my scences dimmed out.

KIN: Must be SIE trying to make us weaker.

GEO: Well I don't feel like walking all the way to the DK Jungle. Let's go to the Air Garage and get a Flyer there.

KIN: Alright. Hope you can drive them.

GEO: I got it. I can drive.

They left to an elevator that brought them to the Air Garage. that saw a multi-level parking lot with Air Cars waiting to be used. Geo signed out a Red Flyer, equipped with an invisibility cloaking system, emergency boosters, air radar, and leather seats, NAV system and cupholders.

KIN: Let's get going were wasting time looking at the Flyer.

GEO: But it's such a good Flyer.

KIN: I know it is but we must-OOOO Warm seats.

GEO: Look at the engine. V-50 and runs only on carbon dioxide.

KIN: WWWOOOWWW

[smashbro]

(continuation of last post)
“Mvpguy went on a solo mission, to help the HQ. But we lost contact with him. I’ve tried calling his orb multiple times, but it hasn’t worked. I have a feeling he’s ok, that he’s out there somewhere. I hope he comes back.

(later)
“This is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed
I hope... or maybe I don't care
I wear my team around my neck
I love them so much gonna love them to death
Tonight... see the world through my eyes” Smashbro sang, listening to The Joke.

“How are things going at home for you?” asked ROB.
“Ok, but I haven’t talked to anyone in a while…they’ve all been off on missions.”
“No, I mean your hometown.”
“I consider this place my home, I have more friends here.”
“But in your hometown?”
“Most of the people I know are dumb a**es. They’re not important.”
“But there must be some people you miss.”
“Well, Sarah and her friends were friends to me, but aside from them I didn’t really have many good friends. I hadn’t had a best friend I could share anything with since 1st grade.”
“So do you still like her?”
“No. Of course not. She’s just my friend. I don’t like anyone right now, and I don’t really care about liking anyone. It’s not important.”
“I can tell you are…”
“No. Could you leave for a little while, there’s something important I have to look up right now, and I’d like it to be extremely quiet.”
“ok.” After ROB left, smashbro put in his ipod.
“When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part”
