For a second, the room was silent as Mewtwo had been captured, before the Smashers gave a mighty cheer to Donkey Kong, who was exhausted, but relieved. As all of the Smashers came over to congratulate him, he slowly made his way through the crowd to Ness.

They were both silent, until Donkey Kong took off the Franklin Badge and handed it back to the youngster.

"Thanks for all the help Ness, but I don't think I need this any more."

Ness took the badge silently a smiled, before his face fell and his eyes began to water.

"I… just remembered. Now that this is all over, I still have to leave."

Donkey Kong felt sad realizing that his new friend would still have to leave the tournament and return home. However, a loud conversation between Master Hand and Samus was taking place behind them, and most people were beginning to listen to it.

"So, if Mewtwo was defeated, who does this giant base belong to?"

"Well," Master Hand replied to Samus, "I think as Donkey Kong and Ness did most of the work, it belongs to them now."

Donkey Kong barely had time to react as Samus walked up to him and dropped a bag of 30,000 space credits into his hand, saying,

"I'll give you this if I can have this base to house the space thieves I'm hunting. After all, I heard a few weeks a go that a lot of them escaped, and I'll get some big rewards for hunting them down, and even bigger rewards if I can provide the space federation with another jail."

Donkey Kong nodded, stunned by the money, before hearing Ness saying, "Way to go, Donkey Kong." Turning to Ness, Donkey Kong could see the young boy. His friend. Holding the money, Donkey Kong walked towards Master Hand and handed it to him, asking,

"If you spend this money expanding Smash Mansion, could we get more people returning?"

Master Hand was taken aback, but only needed a few seconds to think about it before replying, "I don't see why not!"

Master Hand immediately pointed to various people and told them they could be returning.

"Ness, change of plans, you're back in! Ganondorf, you too! Marth, Falco, you can come back!"

Donkey Kong took one look at Ness and saw how overjoyed he was to be returning, and Donkey Kong immediately knew that he'd made the right decision. With a smile on everyone's faces, Donkey Kong thought his problems were over until he remembered one small thing. In his hand, he was still clutching a very powerful Pokéball, with a very dark inhabitant. After thinking for a short time, Donkey Kong decided that he'd already had to make too many choice today, so he walked back to Ness, patted him on the back, and muttered, "It's good that you're staying," truthfully, and handed Ness the Pokéball.

Ness looked at Donkey Kong bemusedly, so the great ape said, "You're the reason he got caught, you should decide what happens to him."

And with that, Donkey Kong gave Ness' hair a ruffle, and ran off to tell his exploits to Diddy Kong, leaving Ness with the Pokéball containing Mewtwo.

Ness didn't know what to do with it. Remembering all that he and his friend's had been put through, he considered stomping as hard as he could on the ball, or whacking it as far away as he could with his baseball bat. But then, he recalled Mewtwo's motives. Mewtwo, just like the rest of the Smashers, had just been feeling rejected ever since he was kicked out of Smash Mansion. Just like Ness himself had felt. Feeling sheepish, Ness had no idea what to do until Pokémon Trainer walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"You can keep the Pokéball, and Mewtwo. It's a rare catch. Maybe you'll become a Pokémon Trainer later, like me."

Ness was about to reply when a large roar from Charizard distracted both of them. Pokémon Trainer gave a sigh as he advised Ness, "I warn you though, if you do start catching them, make sure you pay attention to them. Pokémon hate being ignored."

Before Ness could respond, Pokémon Trainer walked back to his Pokémon, patting them each and talking to them. Looking back at the Pokéball he was holding, Ness found Pokémon Trainer's words sticking in his head.

"Pokémon hate being ignored."

Looking down at the Pokéball one last time, Ness knew what to do as he approached Master Hand and asked him for a big favour…

A few weeks later…

Zelda was in the middle of a fight with Wolf, and they were both at high damages. Wolf used his blaster to stun Zelda before running up to her and using his reflector to push her away. However, his luck ended when one of the many items in the tournament fell in front of her. A Pokéball, to be precise. This would, obviously, contain a Pokémon who would help whoever released it, and Zelda was lucky enough to grab it and throw it at Wolf before he could react. There was a blinding flash, before Mewtwo appeared on the stage. Seeing his enemy, Mewtwo charged at Wolf and grabbed him, before tossing him into the air and following it up with a chain of shadow balls. As Wolf landed, Mewtwo stunned him, and by the time Wolf had recovered, he just had time to see Mewtwo finishing the charge to a Smash Attack, which sent Wolf flying off the arena.

"GAME SET!"

As Zelda and Wolf appeared back in Smash Mansion, Mewtwo also appeared back to where he had been standing when he was called into the battle. Ness had persuaded Master Hand, to let him stay at Smash Mansion, but he could only be a Pokéball character, not a fighter. Mewtwo didn't mind this, as it let others see his power, and slowly, people were beginning to accept him as they had done before. As people who had been watching the fight began to leave, Mewtwo levitated after one of them and pulled him back.

"Master Ness…?"

Ness smiled brightly as he faced Mewtwo and replied, "Yeah?"

"Thank you…"

Ness chuckled. "No problem. Just remember, just because you weren't here, doesn't mean we weren't your friends."

"I will…"

Mewtwo teleported back to his room, while Ness had to rush to the lobby of Smash Mansion, where he and Donkey Kong had been called to see an unveiling. Arriving at the lobby quickly, Ness stood next to Donkey Kong as Master Hand started to speak.

"Donkey Kong, Ness, after we expanded Smash Mansion, we had a little money left over, so…"

Master Hand lifted the sheets off two statues. The first was a huge statue of a powerhouse figure, demanding respect. A giant, stone Donkey Kong stood, complete with a stone necktie hanging down with his initials, and a stone Franklin badge stuck to his chest. The second statue was smaller, but demanded just as much attention. A young boy with a stone baseball cap looked over the hall, and in one hand he held a yoyo, and in the other, a large baseball bat.

As Donkey Kong and Ness looked over their statues, Master Hand gave an announcement for everyone to come to the lobby. The Smashers all arrived, and soon, everyone was admiring the statues. They were so busy admiring them, they didn't notice a large electric probe descending from the ceiling and electrocuting them until they were all unconscious. A few dark figures entered the room, as if the entire story was being replayed.

"Well, the Smashers didn't see that coming," muttered one of the figures, picking up Donkey Kong's body and carrying it off to a different underground base. The two masterminds of this plan stood in the middle of the room, overseeing it, until one of their minions addressed them.

"Excuse me? We're sorry, but… there's really not very many of us. We just HAVE to leave some people behind this time."

The two figures sighed and made their way over to three of the unconscious bodies.

"Well, we can't leave Donkey Kong, Ness, Olimar, Dedede, Link, Mario or Master Hand… aha!"

One of the figures whispered into the ears of it's partner, only to receive an evil chuckle as a response.

"That's a good idea. If we can't take everyone to our brand new secret base, we can leave those three. They definitely won't cause us any trouble!"

As the minions slunk out, carrying unconscious figures as they went, the three remaining fighters, Princess Peach, Diddy Kong and Yoshi all remained as the only hope to save their friends.

"Soon," one of the dark figures began, "Everyone will know the true wrath of…

As light shone through the door as more bodies were carried out, their identities were revealed.

"Pichu and Dr Mario," screamed the twosome, before joining together in an evil laugh and leaving quickly.

Soon, Peach, Diddy Kong and Yoshi were beginning to wake up, as they found the Mansion empty, and realised that they were about to start an adventure to save their friends.

Three more unlikely heroes had just started a new adventure.

Fin.

(Author's note: No, this doesn't mean there's a sequel with Peach, Yoshi and Diddy Kong, it just shows that in the end, it keeps repeating itself as the Smashers are kidnapped by more and more people. But anyway… I FINISHED IT! Yay!)
