Chapter 3 - Episode 6: A Terrible Fate

(The episode begins in a field. The Happy Mask Salesman (The Legend of Zelda) is lying unconscious on the ground, his pack is noticeably missing. Shuffling sounds are heard as the camera pans to the right. We see Master Mind going through the pack, seemingly looking for something. He stops.)

Master Mind: Here it is... (Master Mind pulls out Majora's Mask. It floats and slowly spins in his hands.) Majora. I've heard legends about you. You're going to help me spread chaos. (The camera zooms in on the mask before we fade into a new scene.)

(We fade into a small forest village. People are milling about and we pan over to a shop with a fruit stand outside with a woman watching over it. Lloyd (Mana) walks up and greets the woman and then walks over to the fruit stand. He starts to pick up a watermelon before it is thrust into the air. Lloyd looks shocked as it's revealed that a waddle dee has grabbed the melon. The waddle dee runs off. We see more and more waddle dees running through the village with various food items. We then cut to Beedle (The Legend of Zelda) sitting behind a blanket with items on it, including a heart piece, a purple plum, and a Geno doll. A waddle dee, runs up, grabs the plum, and runs away.)

Beedle: Heeeeeey! Get back here! (Beedle runs after it. As Beedle runs away, we see a small star float into the Geno doll.)

(We cut to Spike, Bomberman, and Red walking through the forest.)

Bomberman: So, where are we going?

Spike: Well, we were following that robot, but are we even going in the right direction?

Red: Well... we were following it, but I think we got a bit turned around.

Bomberman: What?! We're lost?!

Red: We'll find a way out of here.

Spike: Why are we even here? What caused that flash of light back home?

???: Perhaps I can help answer that. (The camera pans to see Geno coming out from behind the trees. He walks up to the heroes.)

Bomberman: Is that... a puppet?

Geno: Who, me? No, I have just taken the form of this doll. I'm actually a warrior from Star Road. My name is ♡♪!?, but you can call me Geno, after the doll.

Spike: That's a lot to take in.

Red: So, Geno, do you know what brought us here?

Geno: I do, it is a very interesting story. (We go to a storybook style while Geno narrates.) It started long, long ago in the Mushroom Kingdom. It was a day like any other, when a figure was spotted over the horizon. A creature made out of darkness named Master Mind. He began a war with our universe, causing everyone, whether they were from our world or not, to fight back. The stars created the Shadow Crystal to trap him forever; however, a couple of days ago, the evil king, Bowser, released Master Mind from his prison and we were sent here. We do not know the reason, but it cannot be good. (We fade out from the storybook.)

Bomberman: Master Mind?

Red: Bowser?

Geno: Yes, it is indeed a confusing and horrible tale, but I have come down to do something about it. Surely there must be a way to defeat Master Mind.

Spike: We'll come with you, you can't do this alone.

Geno: This is a dangerous fight. Are you sure about this?

Bomberman: Absolutely!

Red: Maybe this will lead us to Pikachu.

Geno: You are all very kind. Now, let us head off.

(We cut to a line of waddle dees marching through the forest. The last one stops under a tree and looks up as snoring is heard above him. He shrugs it off and walks away. We cut back to our heroes trudging through the forest. Suddenly, a waddle dee holding an apple jumps in their path.)

Bomberman: What is that? (The waddle dee looks at them and walks away.) Where did he come from? (The heroes go to where the waddle dee came from. They see a Snorlax next to a stash of food. A group of waddle dees is taking food from the pile.)

Red: Woah! A Snorlax!

Spike: What are these things? (The waddle dees take the last of the food from the pile, leaving one waddle dee with no food in his hands.)

Red: Hey, those things just stole the Snorlax's food! (The waddle dee with no food walks up to Bomberman.)

Bomberman: What do you want? (The waddle dee looks at the pink ball on Bomberman's head longingly. The waddle dee then picks him up.) Hey! What's going on?! (The waddle dee runs off with Bomberman.)

Spike: Hey! Get back here!

Geno: Where is that thing taking him?

Red: Hey, guys! (Spike and Geno turn around to see the Snorlax stirring. Snorlax begins to attack in a grumpy rage.)

Snorlax: Snorlaaaaaax! (Snorlax stomps on the ground, knocking our heroes down. They get up to fight.)

Red: Alright, let's go! Go, Ivysaur! (Red sends out Ivysaur as Spike and Geno run up to fight.)

Ivysaur: Ivy! (First Geno runs up and fires his Geno beam. It hits and the Snorlax goes back a bit. Spike then attacks by shooting his slingback shooter at the Snorlax. It hits him in the head, but he retaliates by punching Spike away. Snorlax then uses yawn which has a yawn cloud move towards Spike.)

Spike: (Sleepily.) Suddenly, I don't really feel... like... (He falls asleep.)

Red: Ivysaur, use seed bomb!

Ivysaur: Saur! (Ivysaur shoots his seed bombs at the Snorlax, knocking him onto the ground. He slowly gets back up. Geno uses his finger shot on the Snorlax which mostly just plink off of him.)

Snorlax: Laaaax! (The Snorlax knocks Geno away. Spike starts to wake up.)

Spike: (Yawns.) Huh? (Spike realizes what's happening and takes out his magic punch. He uses it to punch the Snorlax in the face.)

Red: Ivysaur, use sleep powder! (Ivysaur uses sleep powder on Snorlax and puts it back to sleep.)

Snorlax: Snor... snor... snor... (Snorlax is fast asleep.)

Red: Way to go, Ivysaur! (To Spike and Geno.) That should take care of him. Let's go!

(We cut to the middle of a forest area. The waddle dee carrying Bomberman runs through, passing a waddle doo and a bronto burt flying by.)

???: Halt! What have you brought for the king! (We see that this voice belongs to Bandana Dee. The waddle dee holds up Bomberman.)

Bomberman: Hey, what's the big idea?!

???: Hehehe, now whadda we have here? (King Dedede approaches the waddle dee holding Bomberman.) Why, does this look like a piece of food to you?

Bomberman: Food?! Put me down! (Bomberman is put down.)

Bandana Dee: Sorry for the mix up, sometimes our men get confused. (Bomberman looks over to see a giant stack of food with Dedede's troops walking around it.)

Bomberman: Gee, that's a lotta food.

King Dedede: It's a meal fit for a king like me. Hehehe, ain't that right, Bandana Dee?

Bandana Dee: Yes, sire. (Spike, Red, and Geno walk out of the trees and meet up with the others, ready to attack.)

Geno: Halt! Explain your business with our friend here!

Red: Hey, is that the Snorlax's food?

King Dedede: Snorlax? What on Popstar are you talking about, boy? This here food belongs to me, the king!

Bomberman: Have you just been having these orange things take food from people?

Bandana Dee: Well, the king requested that we get food from anywhere.

King Dedede: Absolutely anywhere!

Spike: You're just being greedy! Return this food immediately!

King Dedede: Ugh, fine! I, being the fair and just ruler that I am, declare that this food be returned to their rightful owners because this red-haired pipsqueak told me too.

???: "Fair and just ruler"? What an ego. (Master Mind floats down holding Majora's mask.) I've dealt with my fair share of kings, but you are the most pathetic one yet.

Geno: It's him...

King Dedede: Pathetic! Them's fightin' words you ghostly goon! Come closer and I'll show you my hammer!

Master Mind: I have something much more interesting in mind. (Master Mind floats closer to Dedede and holds out the mask. Dedede backs up in fear.)

King Dedede: (Frightened.) I'm warnin' ya! I'll clobbah ya to bits! (The mask gets eerily closer until finally it latches onto Dedede's face. He starts screaming as the mask takes him up until his body goes limp and the screaming stops. Bandana Dee shrieks and runs away.)

Master Mind: Great power without a body, a powerful body without a mind. (To Geno.) Star warrior, (Geno looks up.) it seems you've met your match. (A portal opens up behind Master Mind and he goes through, the portal then disappears. Masked Dedede falls to the ground.)

Bomberman: What is that on his face?

Spike: Was that Master Mind?

Geno: Stay quiet. I think the king may still be conscious. (Masked Dedede looks at the heroes before letting out an ear-splitting scream. The heroes, minus Geno, hold their ears in pain.)

Masked Dedede: Get them! (Waddle dees, waddle doos, and bronto burts all look up to hear the orders of their king.)

Red: Go Squirtle! (Red sends out Squirtle. Simultaneously, Spike pulls out his Stun Club, Geno arms his Geno Beam, and our heroes run in different directions.)

(Spike hits away two waddle dees with his Stun Club. He goes after a waddle doo next, but is hit away with the waddle doo's eye beam. A bomb is suddenly thrown next to the waddle doo and it explodes, blasting it away.)

Bomberman: Yes! (Suddenly, a gaggle of bombs soar towards Bomberman. He jumps out of the way as we see two poppy bros. Jr.s hopping around with bombs. We cut to bronto burts flying through the air. They're shot down as the camera shifts to a far view of Geno shooting at them. A waddle doo comes up behind him but is suddenly hit by Squirtle riding around in his shell.)

Red: Good job, Squirtle! (We suddenly see Masked Dedede float through the air and land next to Red. He does a spin with his hammer and hits him away. Geno sees this and shoots at Masked Dedede. It doesn't do much as Masked Dedede hits a gordo with his hammer like a bat. It slams into Geno as he's thrown back. Suddenly, Bonkers jumps into battle and readies his hammer. Geno gets up and is swung at, he luckily backs up in reaction. Geno starts running. Squirtle checks on Red as he gets up and they see Geno running. They quickly get up and follow as Bonkers follows.)

(Red and Geno continue their chase as their pursuer gets closer. They end up at the same tree the snoring was heard at earlier. Bonkers swings down his hammer as our two heroes duck out of the way. Bonkers then swings the hammer sideways, and ends up hitting the tree. From the branches, Bubsy the bobcat falls down onto Bonkers' head.)

Bubsy: (Yawns.) What the-? Who woke me up from my cat nap? (Bubsy jumps off and sizes up his opponent.) Woah! Aren't you a big fella. I can tell we aren't monkeying around. (Bonkers attempts to smash him but he jumps out of the way.) Hammer time!

Red: Squirtle! Water Gun! (Squirtle shoots out a jet of water that knocks Bonkers to the ground.)

Bubsy: Pounce! (Bubsy pounces onto Bonkers' head, which knocks him unconscious.) Now that that's taken care of, anybody wanna explain what's going on?

Geno: I shall explain on the way. We must be off now.

Bubsy: Oooh! An adventure! What could pawsibly go wrong? (Our heroes run back from where they came.)

(We cut back to the battle. We see Bomberman throw a bomb at the poppy bros Jr.s. The explosion sends them flying. Spike is seen firing his Slingback Shooter at unseen enemies before hitting a waddle dee behind him. Masked Dedede slowly approaches.)

Bubsy: Let's pounce! (Bubsy pounces onto Masked Dedede's head.) Another hammer? I gotta get me one-a those. (Masked Dedede charges his jet hammer.) Uh oh... (Bubsy is smacked by the jet hammer and is sent flying into a tree. Stars fly around his head.)

Bomberman: Alright, that tears it! (Bomberman starts throwing multiple bombs at Masked Dedede. One hits him far back, but he then hits a bomb back at him. The explosion causes Bomberman to fly back.)

Red: Go Charizard! (Charizard flies in and grabs Masked Dedede. They fly up and Charizard prepares to slam Masked Dedede down onto the ground. However, Masked Dedede turns the tables and slams Charizard down instead by turning him in midair.)

Geno: Excuse me, sire! (Masked Dedede turns to Geno.) Let me show you the true power of the stars. Geno Whirl! (A red star forms around Geno as he uses his Geno Whirl ability. The Geno Whirl throws Masked Dedede onto the ground and the mask comes off. King Dedede is definitely unconscious and very injured. Our heroes get to their feet.)

Spike: Did we defeat him? He's not dead, is he?

Geno: No, just very injured. What did that mask do to him?

Bubsy: (Picking up Majora.) This little thing made that fat guy attack us? Just looks like a hunk-a junk. (Bubsy throws Majora into the forest.)

Bomberman: So that ghostly guy, that was...?

Geno: Yes, Master Mind.

Red: He was some monster, and that mask he had was awful. Why would he do that to the greedy king?

Geno: I do not know, but we must act fast. We must be going.

Bubsy: I'll lead the way!

Geno: Y-You?

Bubsy: Yeah, I know a way out of this forest! So let's make like a tree and leave! (Everybody looks blank-faced at Bubsy.) Oooh, tough crowd. (Our heroes set off.)

(We cut back to Majora laying on the ground. Suddenly, a strange figure approaches it.)
