{ Research Facility, Near SSS HQ}
{Rev}

Exiting the control room I looked to my left knowing that between me stood still, cold steel walls that were staring me down from both sides I heard the alarm go off again I turnt my body dead ahead of me toward the sound of these alarms which came from above me and down the hallway expecting these cold machines to arrive again. I walked down the long hallway of the facility it was dark for awhile until the lights came on lighting the entire facility and that's when I knew that I wasn't alone like I thought I was I lowered my eyes and started running with my hands at my sides and my head straight forward looking dead ahead of me like I was determined to escape and complete my goal, I have yet to learn everything their is about me besides what I saw out their, So while running at average human speed I saw the same robots coming from a distance toward me across the hallway, "tch" I said with arrogance and a menacing deep tone, I have yet to see what features my body could do so I decided to try and pick up speed magnifying my speed I felt my body being rushed forward at supersonic speed now I smirked at this feature I decided to magnify my speed again so I did this time I was going just above supersonic speed I figured this was my limit of speed, the robots started jumping over the gap that kept us apart when they jumped that's when I leaped toward the robots at a higher feature still with the smirk on my face I met the first robot in the air and I reached my left arm out an reached toward it's forehead pressing against it with my palm and lifted the other half of my body I acrobatically leaped over it then wrapped my legs around it's midsection and flipped it over going down I ended up slamming and destroying the robot into pieces After taking care of one the rest ended up on the other side of the hall, I leaped up into a flip and landed on the ground when on the ground the two robots both had pulled back their necks then shot them forward at me shooting out a beam of pink energy from their covered glassed eyes directly toward me, My smirk went away slowly as my eyes glowed green I could feel energy flowing thu my veins and up to my eye sockets and outside my body it felt like air that was releasing from underneath my eyelids I could see the green smoking mist of energy in front of my eyes as my opponents looked black and white to me along with my surroundings regardless, the beams stopped staring me in between my eyes, these beams shot around and back at the robots at double the speed which was faster then the speed of sound and it knocked them far back then blew them apart and crashed against the wall blowing it up for my escape. The glow in my eyes had lifted giving me my colored eyesight back, I ran back so I could escape and leaped over the small cliff from the destroyed wall, I quickly turned around and threw my arm across the building the force air from my arm destroyed the building and leveled the building, "Now, to find the SSS HQ." I ran off in search of this mysterious place. I find it but I stayed outside thinking in my mind while staring seriously at this place it was big.

[Kitt eh]

(Just inside the SSS HQ)
.:Lynx, Zero:.

Lynx caught Zero, so he didn't take such a hard fall. "Ya, I suggest waiting until the blood magic starts to kick in before you start moving around." Lynx said with a serious tone.

He checked Zero's legs to make sure they weren't broken all over again. "Well you didn't break them... again." Lynx said with a grin.

[The King Of Darkness]

Suddenly Lynx heard something. It was the sound of Zeros stomach rumbling.

Zero: im.........hungry........

[supersonicblast06]

{Inside SSS HQ}
{Rev}
I took a moment to overlook the exterior of this building and then I walked up toward the entrance and looked at the sign above it that read: SSS HQ I twisted the knob and walked inside I took a hard look all around directing my head in the interior of this building "Someone must live here seeing as how big this building is." I started to walk around slowly exploring the areas surrounding this room.

[The King Of Darkness]

Zero Sensed a powerful lifeforce. It was Rev. He strained to turn to Lynx.

Zero: L.y....n...x some...one.........strong......is........coming....our...........................................way..............

[Kitt eh]

Lynx turned his head, and looked around, his same cat-like growl coming from his throat.

Akki growled along with him, Be careful, if the guy here says our vistitor is strong, he's probably right. Akki said sternly. Well I'll have to get him something to eat later then... Lynx said.

Lynx stood up his icy blue eyes scanning the room, he still growled under his breath. He gripped the hilt of his blackened sword, feeling that the strong energy was near.

[Dark Pyramid: Bob Snicket, Yoshi]

www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01438/

As Snicket and Yoshi traversed down the deserted basement floors of the Dark Pyramid, walking through shadowy mazes and leaping together across the abysmal gap, a chill crept up their spines, filling them with uneasiness. The musky air, low ceiling, and dreadful silence made them feel as if they were being watched from some unknown hiding place; Bob half-expected them to confront a hideous, blood-thirsty creature around every blind corner and every shadow. They could feel the evil history of these corridors, smell the ghastly aroma of death in the congested air, and imagine the terrible monsters whose blood stained the floor by the hand of an ancient hero. It took every scrap of boldness they could muster to brave these abandoned caverns alone, but by recalling that the two of them had escaped worse places than this, and remembering that from Snicket's Illusion they knew that Nightmare Jr. had departed, and that Mr. Game & Watch had already safely trekked down this path, they were able to, together, gather the willpower to brave these depths.

Side by side, they descended the second staircase down to the lava chambers, their footsteps echoing throughout the dismal dungeons. Yoshi and Snicket progressed along the magma rifts, the red-orange glow reflecting off their faces, but came to a halt when faced with the surging sea of boiling lava--the floating clay platform, evidently, had not seen fit to return. The two friends gazed into the lava lake from the rocky precipice. Then, Yoshi turned to Snicket and spoke in earnest.

"Bob...do you trust me?"

"With my life, old friend," Snicket, smiling, responded without hesitation.

The green dinosaur patted the red saddle on his back. "Climb on, then; and activate those Anti-Gravity Boots of yours."

Snicket obliged, mounting his vegetarian steed, his brown leather boots now glowing with a blue radiance and emanating a slight humming sound.

With an intake of breath, Yoshi leapt off the cliff over the ocean of melted rock, and flutter-jumped repeatedly. Because of the combination of this and Snicket's boots, they not only were able to prevent descending any closer towards the bubbling magma, but climbed even higher and further forward with each effort. For a time, this pattern was followed, the great heat always a discomfort. Along the way, they were confronted by several of the flaming Keese, which Bob disposed of promptly with a succession of well-aimed releases from his Switch Hook. They also came across the streaming flameflower jets, and carefully maneuvered over, below, or around these obstacles, the streams flowing vertically from vents in the ceiling as well as from intricately carved dragon heads engraved into the walls on either side.

At last, Yoshi's rubber boots alighted on the rocky ledge, and Bob dismounted, the two of them sweating profusely, but relieved at the sight of Mr. Game & Watch. He was on one knee before a sheer stone wall (which glowed red along with everything else) and a rectangular doorway which was covered by a thick stone slate, evidently made to slide open somehow. The Brawler had out his black key and was in the act of attempting to pry it open from every side, but to no avail. At the sound of their arrival, he swung around, prepared for an enemy ambush, but even more relieved to see them than they were.

"What took you so long?" Game & Watch was just slightly irritable, partly because he had been obliged to come down alone while being pursued by a lunatical demon creature called Nightmare Jr, and partly due to the fact that despite his efforts, they had been able to reach him before he could find the Boss Key, somewhat diminishing the valor of his achievements.

Bob Snicket thought about the answer to this question: an inescapable dome of darkness controlled by a hopelessly empowered evil being, a giant green-spotted egg hurling through the air, Zero and Lynx, and a hot dog stand. He decided to sum it all up into four words.

"You have no idea."

[Dark Pyramid: Doom, Snake, Veronica, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian]

Soon after the rest of the Dark World expedition party entered the other passage, they reached an unavoidable fork in the hallway. The SSS knew time was of the essence, and that there was no time for all of them to go the wrong way; therefore, there was only one plausible course of action.

"We must split up," Ike said with unexplained authority.

"Right," Snake agreed. "A smart warrior never leaves any path unchecked. Veronica, Doom, and Amaya shall go with me down the left passageway...."

..."while I will lead Zel, Brooke, and Ian down the other," Ike finished accomodatingly. "Let's go! If you find anything of interest or significant value, take it. But our number one priority is finding the door to Agahnim."

"We should meet back at this fork in, say, half an hour, then. Let's go!" Veronica urged.

And so the party split, each pressing deeper into the foreboding Dark Pyramid.

[Cell]

[Sephiroth, Kanju]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Sephiroth did not bother to look at the now awakened warrior. He merely held out his right arm towards the magnificent structure in the center of this horrendously vile place. "Behold... the home of the ruler of this land. Fallen Angel Castle, the center point of Hell. There lies the man responsible for all things that are sinful and immoral. Fallen Angel of the Heavens, the Prince of Darkness himself..."

Kanju was rather baffled by all of this. Why was he in Hell in the first place? Did he die?

The silver haired warrior's own black angel wing appeared, astonishing the already speachless Kanju.

"Come, we shall head over to the Castle." Sephiroth said in a commanding tone. Slowly, the One Winged Angel began ascending above the ground, and sped off towards the castle. Kanju merely blinked a few times and shrugged. A few moments past, and he disappeared in a flash. Both of them landed in front of the grand castle doors, and they opened on their own by sensing Sephiroth's seal.

Upon entering, they saw dozens of royal guards two long lines on each side of the large entrance hall's pathway. The candle lit room with it's high, dark ceilings made it eerie; filling most people with thoughts of hopeless despair. The guards straightened up at the sight of the new arrivals, bowing before the honorable silver haired warrior. Sephiroth lead the way through the entrance hall, to the massive doors at the far end of it. Before Sephiroth opened the doors, he spoke very clearly to Kanju.

"When meeting with this man, do not retort back with obnoxious comments or snide remarks if he says something you don't approve of. He frowns upon that, and will not tollerate such behavior. The Dark Lord will make you dearly rue the day you disrespected him if you do so."

"Heh, we'll see..." Kanju said smugly. "What I wanna know is what he wants with me."

"You will know soon enough..." Sephiroth said, pushing open the doors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Crehavos]
[Fallen Angel Castle: Throne Room]

Mulling over some thoughts that had been bothering him, Crehavos made a piece of parchment, a feather quill, and an ink bottle appear. With it, he began writting a brief letter:

Big Boss,

I have come to a conclusion on your first mission. Lead a squad of my powerful troops to attack the one known as "Smashbro". He is one of the top members of the SSS (our enemy). You being an excellent tactician will help you plot out a precise and deadly attack. Go down to my military bases and choose troops to form your own squad.

Now, your orders are simple: destroy Smashbro and anyone who gets in your way.

- Lord Crehavos

Once he finished, Crehavos let go of the letter and it began floating in mid-air. After a few moments, it burst into flames and disappeared. Through this method, it would appear directly to Big Boss in his room.

Suddenly, Crehavos heard the sound of footsteps. He cocked his head, and no sooner, the throne room's doors opened. Coming through it was Sephiroth and apparently the "Kanju" the Hell Lord was seeking. Sephiroth took a quick bow and said, "Kneel before the Ruler of Hell, and soon to be the Ruler of All, Lord Crehavos."

[Naked Snake II]

[Dalagein]
Dagalein went into a small village hoping to find some directions to the SSS HQ. He started to torch the village down slowly.

DAGALEIN: I am Dagalein, the Demon from Shadow's End. Anyone know where the SSS HQ is? I have some important things to do.

VILLAGER: We'll never tell a demon like YOU!!!

Suddenly a platoon of soldiers rushed in and charged at Dagalein.

DAGALEIN: Hmph..It'll take more than you pathetic weaklings to stop me.

Dagalein started to charged up massive black fireballs engulfing his hands. The scene intimidated the oncoming soldiers. He began to blast the soldiers with his black flames..Suddenly the smell of burnt bodies and hair ingulfed the village. The Black fire is so powerful, it burned the toughest metal instantly. Suddenly the village was burning. To his peripheral vision, he saw a villager trying to run away. He jumped on him and lifted him up from his collar.

DAGALEIN: Maybe you know.

VILLAGER: I'll never speak *spits at Dagalein's face*

Dagalein punched the pesty Villager in the stomach piercing his torso killing.

DAGALEIN: Now tell me where the SSS HQ is. NOW!!!

VILLAGER: Uh...uuuuhh.......*coughs up blood*

DAGALEIN: Useless.

Dagalein touches the villagers forehead and begins to burn a hole in his head..eventually killing him.

[supersonicblast06]

{SSS HQ}
{Rev, Zero, Lynx}

I saw a door in my peripheral vision this, mysterious door caught my entrust what was behind this very door was interesting to me I thought if I opened this door I would see someone that owns this place, Well, I walked over to the door and grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open still standing behind it but looking inside at the objects I could see. I saw two people, One of them rattled my mind it was the man with the blond hair, and battle armor on I lowered my eyebrows like I was going to say something rude, but I kept quiet instead, many flashbacks just hit me at once just by seeing one person. My eyes narrowed and I shook my head coming back into reality I finally realized who had set me free so long ago the second time. This next individual I didn't know this creature either, seeing this creature growl at me like he was ready to fight me made me think about the reaction of me being here, I could see the ice coming from this creatures eyes, his growl was like a cats hiss, coming from his throat, I kept my cool even tho this creature seemed stressed at me. The other character seemed hurt it's as if he had been Thu to much already he didn't seem to be in a healthy state. Or maybe it was something more? Once I saw the sword gripped in his hand like he was counting on using it to kill me this made me feel slightly agitated, My scarf was covering my jaw.

[ManOfSteele]

[Karocka, Steele, King K. Rool]
[King K. Rool's Fortress (or whatever)]

Karocka and Steele were being carried on the shoulders of two big crocks, their limbs tied up, into King Rool's throne room. "Lets make this really quick, Crehavos is probably angry we took so long" Steele whispered to Karocka.

"K" Karoack replied.

As soon as they entered the throne room King K. Rool bellowed "And what have we here?? Who are you two?? Spies from those dumb apes maybe perhaps??"

The guards set them down in front of the King, their limbs still tied. The King warilly apporached them. "Don't worry sire," One of the guards explained, "They were easy to take down, they didn't even put up a fight"

Rool nodded, and approached them. When he was a yard away, Steele and Karocka broke free from their rope ties, and jumped up. Karocka dashed towards King K. Rool and grabbed him. Simultaneously, Steele opened up a portal to Hell. Karocka threw the king into the portal, while Steele blasted away the guards. "That went well" Karocka said. The two of them jumped through the portal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Crehavos, Sephiroth, Kanju, Steele, Karocka, King K. Rool]
Fallen Angel Castle: Throne Room]


"Kneel before the Ruler of Hell, and soon to be the Ruler of All, Lord Crehavos." Sephiroth said. Suddently a portal opened up and King K. Rool bursted from it. "Hmm?" Sephiroth wondered. A few moments later Steele and Karocka jumped through the portal as well.

"Here ya go" Steele said to Crehavos.

[Kitt eh]

Lynx seemed to calm down a touch. He stopped his growling, but still kept a sharp glare at the new comer.

He doesn't seem like a threat... Akki said calmly. Ya, well I'm not putting my guard down. Lynx said sternly. He noticed Rev gave Zero a look that Lynx didn't really approve of, mostly because it looked like a slight glare. Lynx moved in front of Zero blocking him.

"Who are you?" Lynx asked, tilting his head, his white hair falling slightly on his face.

[The King Of Darkness]

OOC: Im not in my super form Malkai. Hes just regular zero meaning he has black hair.

Zero stared at the newcomer...

Zero: Fin...nally....its.......you.....now....i.....finally...get.t.o......beat you!!

Zero got up on his feet and charged at Rev. Immediatly his bones snapped again and he fell to the ground absolutly Bellowing in pain.

Zero: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Zero was now bleeding right through the wraps of bandages Lynx applied on him. Zero coughed up a little blood as he fainted.
