Chapter 2: Forces of Darkness

[ness11]

[Dark World Plains: LGN, Steele Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian]

LGN and Steele looked up at Crehavos who was disappearing behind the closing portal. They both lunged to go back through it, but closed just out of their reach. LGN swearers under his breath and felt like he had failed.

LGN: NO! NOOOO! That coward! Come back here demon, I want to hang your dead body on the flagpole of the SSS HQ!

Steele: What a devilish coward.

LGN: Tell me about it.

Snicket: Ah, LGN what happened and why is your arm....you know?

LGN: Augh, sorry Bob for ditching you it's just that....I...I........I thought I could stop Ekin from taking Geo. I followed him into Hell, and.....the sights....the sounds....it was not a place anyone should ever go. There Ekin's boss attacked me and Steele, that demon being Crehavos or the Hell King. Steele and I fought hard...but....even with the help of Karocka......but it just wasn't enough and I payed dearly for it.

Steele: LGN, I happened to grab your arm on the way out. *hands LGN his arm*

LGN: *takes arm and holds it* Thank you Steele, even though the likely hood of me getting it reattached successfully are near zero.

Ike: You got no sympathy!

Snicket: Oh, I am sorry to have asked you that.

LGN: It is ok Bob, I only wish that everyone keep in mind that curiosity killed the cat. That's the moral of my story for today. I only hope that with our combined might we can defeat him. But I did discover their plan, or so I think. I believe they, Ekin and Crehavos, are trying to collect the upper tier of the SSS on a leadership scale and take them out; leaving us lacking the needed leadership.

Zel: But wouldn't Crehavos captured you and not have only cut off your arm.

LGN: I don't know. I doubt if I am in his plan, but if I was what he just did was an attempt to sending a physical warning to everyone that they mean business. But I must now go find Dobs with Steele and warn him. If he is captured, who knows what will happen. I am sorry I must leave Snicket, and who knows if I'll be able to comeback in time to help you guys, but I greatly appreciate you allowing me to follow you on this journey.

Snicket: Anytime LGN, but you mentioned Karocka helping you. Where is he?

The party searches all around them for Karocka, but Yoshi soon spots Karocka in the sky flying away. Karocka hears gasps from below and his name being called; instinctively he turns around but only to laugh at LGN and Steele.

Karocka: Crehavos did a great deed for me today! He gave me the freedom I needed to live again. Ahahahaha! I have no time for pointless adventures mortals, I have much planning to do. *begins to open portal*

LGN: Quick Steele to the fighter! We must leave here immediately. Farewell everyone, and let the power of the SSS guide us all. *calls over fighter telepathically*

The fighter swoops down to the ground and in unison Steele and LGN jump in and buckle in as the fighter passes. LGN steers the fighter toward the portal that was closing quickly. Karocka had already causally flew in and could now be who knows where.

Steele: Do you have a clue where this is going to take us?

LGN: Not a clue, but if this thing takes somewhere desolate and then ending us I'm glad I'm dying with you Steele.

Steele: Same to you LGN, I may have known you for a short time but I'm glad you accepted me and sacrificed yourself back in Subspace for me.

The fighter flew through the portal, and then following that with not a second of hesitation the portal closed and they had left the Dark World.

{Outside of Fallen Angel Castle, Hell}
[Crehavos, Karocka's Stone Warriors]

Crehavos was now walking about his castle when he heard a loud thumping noise behind him.

Crehavos: Oh great more of them!

Crehavos turned around and saw three large stone warriors that had been playing the stone instruments earlier in his fight against LGN and Steele. He was about to smash them into small tiny pebbles when one of the stone warriors held out of his hand like he was telling Crehavos to stop. Crehavos hesitated, and then the stone warrior ripped open his chest to reveal a dark pit of black and nothing more. It was truly awkward for a split second, but then a familiar face popped onto the blackened zone of the stone warrior.

Karocka: Hello Crehavos. Pardon me attacking you back there, I only did so I could escape from Hell which you helped me achieve. I thank you for letting me leave and I take back everything I said before about you and want to start off on a clean slate.

Crehavos: Right, but what is your name?

Karocka: I am Karocka. I was only a mere emotion of that fool LGN but when he lost his cool and went off the deep end I took over him. I lead the other villains at the time, including Ekin and IOY, against the SSS and nearly succeeded; but that fool LGN freed himself and split us apart. We battled hard, but a fatal error on my part had me hurtling to the core of the Earth.....or so he thought. I later returned and manipulated and used mind control over LGN and made my way back into the inner circle of the SSS through him and then attacked the HQ. My plan would have succeeded if only he wasn't leading those pitiful SSS members into Subspace, which there he committed suicide just to kill me and the retched SIE, sending me to Hell. And now here I am, that is my resume.

Crehavos: Resume?

Karocka: I've noticed during my time here that Ekin has been helping you and obeying your orders. I want in.

Crehavos: I don't let people just join coward, they have to earn my respect. No way am I going to let you boss ME around!

Karocka: Oh no, I have no intentions of bossing you around. I want to help you; not the over way around! I'll allow you to order me around and ask me to do whatever, but within reason. I know all their weakness' and as you can see I have a nice army of stone warriors which can be under your disposal.

Crehavos: Hmm. Fine. You may join, but with warning. That stunt you pulled back there wasn't helping your cause, but I'll allow you to join in. Just remember, I'm the boss and I don't want you making me look bad and desperate.

Karocka: Thank you Crehavos, you won't be disappointed. I'll meet up with you soon, I just need to complete a few errands from the past and I'll join you before you know it. Karocka out. *Stone warrior closes chest up*

[Big Boss]

[Fallen Angel Castle]

Right before Evil Kin was about to leave in search of dobs, He heard a loud thud.

EKin: what the?..now who is hear?

Evil Kin teleported himself to the scene, and who he saw made him extreamly bitter.

EKin: Karocka! what are you doing here!?

Karocka: heh, i thought you were out and about.... And its funny you remember me.

EKin: its been too long....Crehavos...tell me why my old rival is here

Crehavos: He wanted to join us...and he has alot of knowlege about whats going on and he wanted in..and well...I let him.

EKin: rrrr....I dont like it one bit

Karocka: heh.

Crehavos: well your going to have to get used to it.

EKin: The quicksilver organization is dead...why would you want to bring it back? Karocka!?

Karocka: Quicksilver!?...our time, our Battle is over, Quicksilver is old news..Crehavos is the new power now..and you know this.

Crehavos: Quicksilver?..tell me more.

EKin: well it was a while back, it was when The SIE first made there presence known to The SSS. I at the time was trapped in Kins body, My spirit waiting to get out..i had the perfect oporotunity then, so I took the chance I became the dominent spirit and took control...after wandering around the SSS world I wanted to take control, but there was also another group of warriors that wanted to do the same, Iownedyou and karocka. We all banded together and formed the Quicksilver orginization...we were feared by all..until each of us were picked apart, one by one...after that..well is just old history..Me and karocka, dont like to get along

Karocka: and it should stay that way old pal

[Cell]

[Crehavos, Evil Kin, Karocka]
[Outside Fallen Angel Castle]

Crehavos looked at both of former comrades and frowned. They obviously did not like each other one bit, both seeming to rather die than work together once more. The Hell King turned his back on them, looking out onto the darkened horizon. There was a long pause, and then he spoke to them.

"Both of you, I can see that the deep hatred lasting between you will lead to something that I don't want to see happen. The anger is clearly felt by myself, and this is a problem." Crehavos turned back to the two, a very serious look on his face. "I won't tollerate this ridiculous situation, so I'm giving you both two options. You can grow up and forget about whatever happened between you two, or you can leave my sight and never come back, losing the alliance you have with me."

"But Crehavos! He-..." Karocka started arguing with Crehavos, but he was cut off.

"ENOUGH!" Crehavos yelled, making Karocka silence immediatly. "It's your decision on what you want to do. Get along and stay, or leave and you both become my enemies once more. Your choice..." Crehavos began walking away back to his castle, but stopped to say, "One hour... You decide within that time and come to me with your decision after. Until then..." He continued walking, and disappeared like a sudden whirlwind of black mist.

Evil Kin crossed his arms. Looking away from Karocka, he said, "I guess we better start talking, huh?"

"Who said I was gonna?!" Karocka barked at Evil Kin.

"Aww shuddup..." Evil Kin said, slapping Karocka in the back of the head.

OOC: LGN and Big Boss, you two make the discussion between Karocka and Evil Kin. I felt that that was a job for you two.

[SLE]

[Hell: , Kin, Geo]
: well I'm in a temporary state of death, the lights turned on after the tournament thing, then i can't remember anything else....
: Someone appointed me that I'm no longer living so i thought this'd be the perfect place to train my spiritual power

[ness11]

[Outside Fallen Angel Castle, Hell]
{Karocka, Ekin}

Karocka: So, it's just the two of us.

Ekin: Why did you join Karocka? Why did you join Crehavos?

Karocka: I have the same question for you, and I know you'll give a different more selfish answer.

Ekin: You first.

Karocka: Fine. After you ditched me at Mt. Coronet and left me to die I forged a new relationship with the brawlers, but only to abuse their rights and use them so I could get what I wanted. I went into Subspace and took many lives, but I lost my own due to that fool LGN.

Ekin: Ha!

Karocka: But I know you died to Kin. *Kin groans* You'll be surpriced as what you can find out here in Hell.

Ekin: What's your angle?

Karocka: My angle is simple. You fight for Crehavos for power and I fight for him for my own undisclosed self intrest. We have similar goals Ekin, that's why we formed Quicksilver. But we both know that we can't go back to Quicksilver and never wanted to meet up again. Yet here we are, again in the same alliance *laughs* Only this time we are on the same level of authority.

Ekin: I may fight for power, but you have your own personal goals.

Karocka: True, but don't we all? Take our worst enemies for example: Kin and LGN. Kin fought to save Dobs and other lives and sacrificed himself to stop IOY to save his friends.

Ekin: How did you find out about that?

Karocka: I still have a link to LGN's mind, I know what he's thinking. The longer we have been apart the more I know about him. Anyways: LGN sacrificed himself too, also to save a memeber of the liberal idiots none as the SSS. They both have stopped us before, and we've stoped them. Yours and my objective is to destroy and dismantle Kin and LGN.

Ekin: I still don't get what your saying.

Karocka: Bottom line. You wanna kill Kin, I want to kill LGN. We can achieve our goals if we, ugh, work....together. Gah. You and I both don't want to, but regardless if what happened back then, what happens in the future, and what happened now; I'm glad that you aren't a complete crapture and that your a good rival.....for you.

[Big Boss]

[fallen angel castle]
Evil Kin, Karocka

EKin: Well first off....Kin and I Have been square away for a while...I got what i deserved back then...but my only concern at this time is The silver seekers...there after me..when this is all over I dont think ill be around much.

Evil Kin starts walking over to a balcony, Karocka follows. The Night sky in Hell was tainted with slight red.

Karocka: What do you mean?

EKin: Ill probabley be gone for good.

Karocka: then why be evil...wouldint you want you to go down as something good?

EKin: heh...being good isnt as much fun anymore. Besides I am the Evil side of Kin. I have to live up to my name even if I am viled by all SSS again, save a few. Its funny actually..me and you are very much alike...we take over someones body and make Life Hell for the others..but in the end we were ultimatley defeated by the ones we took over.

Karocka: I remember those days like it was yesterday...but our time is up..Now is the time of Crehavos.

EKin: he is lucky he has old veterans on his side... I feel like coffe...wanna get some?

karocka:(this is the part LGN posts)

[smashbro]

"Shi...!" he looked at Misami. "Crap!" He shook his hand and eventually the flames went away.
"What are you doing!?!" smashbro yelled at Iownedyou. He rolled his eyes and his head, "oh yeah, you're evil. Dude will you just pick a side!?! Stay back," smashbro said to Misami. "Look, he's not really being nice right now, the jack a...umm...the bad boy."
"His name is Jack?" Misami asked.
"<sigh>...uhh, yeah, lets go with that. But you have to go hide somewhere," smashbro replied. "And look Iownedyou. Things have changed. I've changed. I'm not gonna run away from you this time." smashbro pulled out his sword, and got ready to fight. He slightly smirked, not knowing why.

[Cell]

[Crehavos]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Up in the dark, candle light throne room, Crehavos sat on his throne; his mind mulling over his plans and what is in store. He sat up, and looked over at Giratina. The magnificent beast was sleeping, looking as though there wasn't a care in the world. The Hell King smiled, and he patted the Pokemon on the head.

Giratina stirred slightly, but fell back to sleep, looking conforted by the friendly hand petting him. The Hell King continued petting the beast, but looked troubled. He was starting to question his own judgement. Was he doing the right thing? Was power really that important? What would his parents think of him now? Would they be proud... or ashamed?

Crehavos shook his head, ridding himself of these thoughts. He barked at one of his servants to fetch him a glass of water, and held his head in his hands. Giratina woke at the hand being taken away from his head, and looked curiously at his master.

"Giratina," Crehavos began. "Do you... think I'm a disgrace?"

The Pokemon merely starred at him, cocking its head to one side. He made a soft screech, and layed back down, asleep once more. Crehavos smirked.

"I thought you might say that..." He said. The servant returned with the glass of ice water like he was ordered, and the Hell King drank it in one go. He threw the glass back at the servant, and slumped back into his throne.

Suddenly, a portal opened up in the middle of the room, and both Ganondorf and Bowser stepped through. The Hell King did not stir, merely nodding at the two, acknowledging their presence.

Ganondorf spoke first, "My lord, we have completed out training like you asked us... We have harnessed out powers to their fullest. Now what do you wish of us?"

Crehavos straightened himself out, and said "Go and tell the army that the time draws near. I only need to obtain one more of the Sacred Three. Then, we strike. I suggest you prepare yourselfs and your squads. I have written out a list of the commanders, here." He handed Ganondorf a piece of paper that said upon it:

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

The Daemn Empire Commanders and Squads

Ganondorf - Squad 1

Bowser - Squad 2

Evil Kin - Squad 3

Karocka - Squad 4

Saint - Squad 5

Zant - Squad 6

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

"Is that it?" Ganondorf asked.

"No, I must gather 7 more squad commanders. Then, I will have a total of 13." Crehavos said. He then pointed at the door, saying "Now go! Prepare yourselves for the new era!"

Ganondorf and Bowser both bowed, saying "Yes, my master." And they vanished. Crehavos slumped back into his throne, waiting for Karocka and Evil Kin come...

[The King Of Darkness]

My first post...

A mysterious figure appeared on top of a giant hill over looking the land. It was a young man with spikey black hair a blue suit gloves combat boots and armor. It was none other then Zero. He sensed a powerful energy coming from a distance more powerful then what hes ever seen.

Zero: I sense a powerful energy coming from far away. Finally a real challenge.

Zero used instant transmission to warp himself to the location of Snicket and Company. Zero looked at them all and laughed.

Zero: Ha ha ha! Well i sensed a powerful energy from here but all i see is a bunch of weaklings! HA HA HA!!!!!

[IOwnedYou]

"Alrighty then...", he smirked with his eyes covered by his hair. He made fire swarm up from under the crust of the earth. It swirled around him. He looked straight at smashbro and said "Make this something that won't waste my time", he pushed the fire out from around him giving smashbro burn marks. He stood there for about 3 seconds then disappeared. He came from the side of Smashbro like a shadow and slammed him right in the side of the head. He quickly appeared at the other side of him and whispered "Death... That is what I came for...", he grabbed Smashbro's face and slammed him down hard on the ground making a crack. He stood towering over Smashbro with a serious expression on his face. He put his foot on his throat and pressed down slowly. "You'll die slowly, but leave no trace of death", he set fire into his hand and shot a straight flame through Smashbro's knee and sent a spike of ice through his right hand. Still slowly pressing down on his throat with his foot, Smashbro could barely breath.

[bobsnicket]

[Dark World Plains: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian]

After Steele and LGN departed, a strange unfriendly-looking newcomer in a blue suit and armor suddenly appeared near them.

Zero: Ha ha ha! Well i sensed a powerful energy from here but all i see is a bunch of weaklings! HA HA HA!!!!!

Snicket frowned. "You must have felt the powerful energy of this hot dog stand." He gestured to the jolly mustachioed man behind the concession table (Bob's right glove was still black). "But seeing as you do not appear to be the...sociable type, I'd recommend you simply go back where you came from. You have no involvement in these matters."

Snicket then turned away from Zero and spoke to the rest. "Now it is time to fulfill our mission. Somewhere in this pyramid dungeon is the Niluck Stone, most probably guarded by the sorcerer Agahnim. We may have to split up to reach the end, but we must do whatever must be done to ensure the headquarter's protection. It is the only thing that can shield at least some of us from Crehavos's wrath."

"Whatever the case, I'll stick with you to the end, Bob," Yoshi asserted.

"I won-der which room it is in..." Game & Watch pondered. "Prob-ab-ly the top floor would be my con-clu-sion."

"Onward!" Ike raised his sword in a morale-inducing gesture.

And with that, the party vanished into the black entrance...

[smashbro]

smashbro gasped for breath, trying to ignore the pain in his right hand and left knee. smashbro made enegry appear, pushing iownedyou a little away from him, allowing smashbro to breathe better.
"Y..you're trying to kill me?" smashbro asked. "Go ahead. Do your worst. But I don't die that easily. But..." smashbro looked around for Misami, but he could not see her, "But, h*ll, what do I care. Kill me, but if you do, then this'll seal it. You haven't actually killed one of your friends before. Things will be different after this. You won't be the normal jack-a**, you'll be wanted by all the heroes. Well, some of them. But you'll never be a friend again." smashbro made a flash of yellow energy, slightly hurting and blinding iownedyou. when he backed up, smashbro used white energy to cover his wounds, and get the ice out of his hand. smashbro stood, ready to fight again. "Let's go."

[flashback]
smashbro stood at a table in the woodshop; he was at robotics and was waiting for a couple members to come back with the parts. One member of his team came up to the table (one of whom smashbro was waiting for) and while walking by smashbro, hit him.
"wtf was that for?" smashbro asked. "oh, yeah, right, you always hit me. ah well, its only you."
"what are you talking about, everyone hits you," says another member of the team (a girl, who he had until recently liked). She hit him, albeit lightly, but still did. smashbro looked away and sighed.
[end flashback]

[Jukan]

A Spectral light filled the atmosphere, and all that Smashbro could see was a rainbow of colors. Misami found herself inside of of a spectral plain along with iownedyou. ”This can all stop now, there is no need to continue your onslaught!!!!” Misami’s voice was all that iownedyou could hear. All he could see was the rainbow plain that surrounded him. ”Leave now, or you will get it, I’m no ordinary child, and I will not hold back even against an adult such as yourself!!!” Her voice rang again. Smashbro couldn’t see or hear any of what was going on, his injury would probably keep him from approaching, but if he would try, he would not find any way to enter. This was an illusionary technique produced by Misami herself.

[The King Of Darkness]

Zero yelled at snicket and grabbed his arm.

Zero: Hey Dont walk away from me while im talking to you. I've sensed a disterbance and YOU WILL tell me whats going on NOW! Or maybe i should just pummel you to an oblivian until you tell me? Hee heeh heh!

[IOwnedYou]

He looked at the little girl. Smashbro wasn't there. "What are you doing?" he looked at the little girl who seemed angry. "Hmmm... Have you taken the body of a little girl?" he thought this due to the strength he felt from her. He closed his eyes. He focused real hard. A cage of flames surrounded the girl along with ice spikes and an aura of electricity around the cage. "If you wish to be my challenger instead... Then fine", he froze her feet to the ground and her arms to the ground so she couldn't move them. "...Die...", he had a wave of fire come straight at her and 7 ice spikes around the wave.
