Line 1: − Author's Notes: Well, I managed another update after working so much on my novel. Me and UltimateLink95 worked on some of this together so he gets some of the credit as well. It has humour; enjoy:)+ + + − Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Smash Brothers and so on.+ + + + − Episode 12+ + + + + + − Failed Production: The Halberd Party+ + + + + + − Sometimes others would never listen to you even through hours of persuasion and threatening. You would object to their intentions countless times to no avail. In the end, resisting had been futile so much that it became pointless. Meta Knight was experiencing one of those times. For no reason whatsoever, the Smashers insisted they have a party on the Halberd. No matter how much he said no, they managed to get their way.+ + − + + + + − "No, I am not attending." Meta Knight refused when he once again asked to come inside.+ + + + − "Come on, don't be such a spoilsport! Everyone's waiting for you." Peach literally dragged him to the door, Meta Knight scowling the whole way. "You don't want to disappoint Jigglypuff, do you? She's been looking forward to you coming to the party!"+ + + + + + − "...Jigglypuff? All right then." As Meta Knight entered the now noisy Halberd, Peach giggled.+ + + + + + − The Halberd simply was transformed by the efforts of every other Smasher. How they decorated a huge battleship in so little time was beyond his logic. He entered the main room with a heavy sigh. The others turned to him, relieved that he showed up.+ − + − "I thought you were never going to show!" Ike said impatiently. "I've been waiting for hours. What activities did you decide?"+ − + − "In the library," Meta Knight replied, now feeling awkward at the protests.+ − − "But books are boring! Could you ever come up with something more exciting?" Ike objected. − − "Do what you will as long as there are no alcohol beverages." With that, Meta Knight turned and left the room. − − "Ike what was that for? You probably offended him!" Jigglypuff shouted. Ike cringed under her menacing tone. − − "That guy is a bookworm. Seriously, all he does around here is read whenever he's not beating the crap out of someone in a brawl." Ike continued, oblivious to the glares he received. − − "There's nothing wrong with reading a lot. Maybe that's why he is very intelligent." Jigglypuff shot back, standing up for him. "You don't know him very well so you?" − − "And why would I want to?" Ike said, putting up his feet on a table. "If I hung around Meta Knight as often as you do, I'll start becoming more like him. The horror." − − "That's mean!" Peach argued, Zelda nodding. "He's never done anything to you; why would you be so cruel?" − − "She's right." Jigglypuff agreed. "He never does anything to offend us in anyway and he keeps to himself. That is what makes him unique among us and I admire that. Sure he may be intimidating at first, but when you get to know him, his company is very enjoyable." − − "What is he to you? Your boyfriend?" Ike remarked, shocking Jigglypuff. Her temper rose, face beet red from anger and embarrassment. "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that? I know you have a crush on him." Jigglypuff smacked him across the face without any second thoughts. − − Ike, not expecting him to attack, fell backwards off his chair and landed on the punch container which cracked, soaking him waist up. The pitcher landed on Bowser's foot who hopped up and down in pain landing on Olimar. His Pikman tried to pull him out but Bowser's weight prevented them from succeeding. One purple Pikman came and gave a small tug. Olimar went flying into Luigi who was in the midst of telling a story to Mario. He screamed and pulled out his vacuum cleaner. In its strong suction, it pulled the Pikmen inside, resulting in their untimely demise. Everyone stared at Luigi who looked down, guilty. − − "Sorry about that." He took a step backwards and landed on a grenade Snake left lying carelessly on the ground. It exploded and blew the box off of Snake, who was drinking a can of alcohol. Everyone stared at him except for Jigglypuff. − − "He's got good stuff!" Ness cheered. − − Snake grumbled. "What do you want?" − − "The beer of course. You can't drink that all yourself!" Ness replied. Ike nodded, forgetting what Meta Knight said about alcohol beverages. Sighing, Snake tossed out thirty boxes. − − "Fine, but don't blame me if you all get drunk." Snake resumed talking into his codec. "None of this is my fault." − − Jigglypuff, revolted by the smell, left for the library to be with Meta Knight. His company was worth missing the Smashers getting drunk over hundreds of beer cans. She felt a flood of relief when she closed the library door behind her. Whatever the Smashers would be doing for the rest of the night she didn't want to know. − − Immediately she spotted Meta Knight sitting at an armchair reading Twilight. He looked up surprised to see her. "Jigglypuff, I would have expected you to be at the party." − − "Yeah, well, I changed my mind. I just wanted to be with you that's all. It's a little...crowded in there." Jigglypuff sat down beside him. "What are you reading?" − − "I am still reading Twilight." He allowed Jigglypuff to read the book as well like they did at the ocean last week. − − Meanwhile, outside the Halberd, there was a knock at the door. Arriving at the party was the pizzaman. "Hey guys!" He said. "I brought you your pizza and the beer you ordered. You can have it free, though, because I took me three days to get here!" − − "We didn't place an order." Zelda said before Snake stood up. − − "Next time I place an order, I would like it delivered faster. These guys have stolen the last cans of beer I had." Snake walked away with the pizza and beer in his arms, the Smashers chasing him hoping he'd share. − − Everyone cheered and went to grab a slice of pizza and a can of good stuff. The Master Hand would have looked horrified if he had a face. "Who ordered beer?" He glared (you get the vibe of it) towards Snake who was drinking a beer while trying to avoid the hungry and thirsty Smashers. Only recently did the Master Hand show up at the party and he began to regret his decision. − − The pizza man had on an evil grin on his face as he walked away. The Smashers would be knocked out soon from that "good stuff" and he could loot the joint! − − Meanwhile, beer bottles were thrown across the room and the Smashers were stumbling around in the now intoxicated smelling crowded room. The Master Hand would have had a Please get me out of here look if he had a face. Then one of the back windows shattered. From inside the Smash Mansion, the pizzaman grinned to himself. Everything was going according to plan. − − "Ah, hey guysh," Ness said in a voice even less understandable voice than normal. "The Pizzaman broke in through the back window! Let'sh go give him shome good shtuff." − − "Ah righ'!" They all agreed and each took another beer bottle in hand. The pizzaman suddenly wondered why there was stampeding footsteps heading in his direction. A scared look flashed across his face as the intoxicated crowd proceeded to step closer to him. − − "I am so dead," he thought. He had to do something now before anything bad happened to him. Doing his best to sound like one of the Smashers, he said: "Hurry, he ran upshtairsh! You can shtill catch him!" He hoped he sounded convincing. − − A sigh of relief escaped his being when the footsteps redirected to the stairs leading up. He managed to sound convincing enough...and it didn't take much to trick a bunch of dumb intoxicated no brain Smashers. − − However, there were five who did not drink any of this good stuff passed around the Smash Mansion. They revealed themselves to be... − − Meta Knight and Jigglypuff both looked up from the book hearing excessive noises passing by the door. It suddenly opened with a crash and a terrified Snake entered. − − "I tried to warn them but they wouldn't stop!" He said in a panicked voice. − − "Warned who about what?" It occurred to Jigglypuff that Meta Knight wasn't aware of the alcohol beverages and she became unusually silent. − − Snake seemed to realize that too because he didn't respond. If he were to tell the truth, trouble would come his way guaranteed. "Nothing." − − "Something strange is going on out there and I need to know right now!" Meta Knight said, nearly shouting. "Whatever the others are doing, they are destroying my ship! What is the meaning of this?" − − "I brought alcohol aboard," Snake admitted. "Everyone wanted some and I was forced to give in. I warned them not to drink too much but they didn't listen. I don't know what to do. They've gone mad!" − − Meta Knight glared at the broken door. "I. Told. You. Not. To. Bring. Alcohol. Beverages. ON MY SHIP!" He snapped, eyes red. "I told everyone that for a reason and because of that, my ship is done for." − − Jigglypuff never saw him so angry before but for this to be happening to his ship, it was understandable. "Is there anyone else who didn't get drunk?" − − "Only three others." On cue, they entered the room. − − Olimar, who didn't drink any of it through his helmet. − − Marth, who brought his one non-alcohol drink. − − And apparently their make-shift leader, Luigi, who Mario (who was drunk) told not to drink any. He practically took the beer from his hands and drank it all down himself. − − The pizzaman was carrying a couple of heavy bags over his shoulders of stolen, valuable goods from the Smash Mansion. He laughed quietly satisfied with his success so far. His boss was sure to be pleased with him. As his hand reached for the doorknob, he felt a shiver down his spine, the one you get when you feel like you're being followed. Yep, that one. The pizzaman was feeling it big time. − − He turned around wildly and yelled, "Where are you? Show yourself!" − − And show themselves they did. Luigi came jumping down from the ceiling, throwing a green fireball. − − From the party room, the Master Hand could hear that a fight was ensuing from upstairs. "Now what?" he screamed, frustrated. When he arrived at the scene, he saw none other than... − − "Lay off guys!" said Ike dressed as a pizzaman. "You're wrecking it!" − − Everyone turned to see a hidden camera man shaking his head and mumbling something while erasing his video. − − Meta Knight, Jigglypuff, Marth, Olimar and Luigi stood there frozen, now comprehending what was going on. About now, they felt sheepish at realizing this was only a movie all along. − − "Oh," they said, lowering their weapons. − − "Ike asked me to direct a movie here last week. He planned it all out: breaking into the ship, the stolen goods and the leaving. Of course, the major hindrance was the beer. Our production was ruined because of that. Well, that was a waste of my time," the cameraman said, slamming down the video. "I thought this time that we would be able to make a real movie." − − "You could. If you let us know ahead of time, we'll be glad to help you out." Marth replied. − − "Very well. Thank you." With a nod, the cameraman left. − − The Master Hand however, looked traumatized at the messed up battleship. Beer bottles thrown across the room, pizza boxes scattered everywhere...and of course, thirty or so Smashers lying on the ground. And at the DJ booth was the Crazy Hand still playing crazy tunes. Beyond the horizon, the sun rose; the start of a new day. With one last glance at the sun, the Master Hand passed out on the ground too. Everything became silence, dawn breaking.

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now
Open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu
The door was covered in balloons and party streamers, mainly pink, Peach being very enthusiastic about the idea. Pink did not suit the Halberd at all; already Meta Knight dreaded the upcoming party. He stood outside the Halberd, arms folded stubbornly in the parking lot. The music blared throughout the battleship's vast size, unfortunately it being something that would play in a romance movie.
The love
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream
That came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu...
