[Mr. Game & Watch]

Those who entered the room would probably be first astonished by how well kept it was. While yes, it wasn’t the highest class looking, but comparatively to the world of the Life Sphere it was downright expensive in appearance. A fine finished centered table and properly furnished matching seats surrounding the boat shaped conference table.

The room was relatively calm for the events that had taken place not too long ago. One would think that E Gadd would be in a massive panic due to the sudden placement of power he had gotten from the loss of his colleagues, but the single toothed old man sat happy as can be at the head of the table. Perhaps he was trying to think happy thoughts or he was just an insane old man, either one would be rather viable all things considered.

The area was decorated with a few other able bodies, some seen as the Life Sphere’s finest. A.I.M. was there of course, still grieving over the loss of its creator as well as trying to figure out how it could seat itself upon the chairs set up. Perhaps it will just stand during the course of the meeting.

In addition the chief of police himself, Captain Falcon, was there leaning up against a wall and waiting for the few that still hadn’t shown up yet. It wasn’t that they were late, in fact everyone else was early. Then again, it was a moment of crisis so tardiness wasn’t exactly an option. If anything, the meeting would start without its key players and they’d come up with a strategy of their own. In fact that would probably be for the better, E Gadd was uncertain what Hades would bring to the table. Although the ruler of the underworld may have a few good battle strategies in mind.

Through the main doors came Lt Surge, his Raichu fashioned on his shoulders like a scarf, and behind him was a fellow representative of the Sunshine Stadium, MC Ballyhoo. “He followed me…” the Lightning American admitted before anyone could question him.

“Ey! If the Big M is out of the picture then we’ll be out of a gig! We can’t run his parties if he isn’t around!” the being announced as it echoed around the room.

“Ballyhoo, you need to use your inside voice…”

“Gotcha!” he screamed once more. No one made any sort of comment as the stumpy guy waddled over to a chair and seated himself. Though he got a few glares from just about everyone in the room. Fortunately, they all wear some form of glasses and one of them doesn’t even have eyes, so the feeling of hatred toward the being was not very clear to him.

[PolarStarQuote]

A short burst of unholy choir music was heard as hades suddenly appeared in the room by a hole made of purple, green and dark blue fire. "Alright, where are the snacks. I came here to eat them all before anyone else got to them, so where are they." Hades spoke, walking past those who were smaller than his almighty frame. With all those souls he ate, hades began to grow larger and larger. Infact at this point he had grown a whole eight inches, now standing at 6'8. 



Hades put on his super duper troll grin, plopping his elbow down on Lt. Surge's head. "Greetings short man." Hades said, giving a loud thunderous laugh. "Now, i have a good feeling you will be asking me this despite it being dreadfully obvious and stupid. But, i will humor you. The reason you need me here?? Well, im the god of the underworld. Next to aries, im practically the god of wars. Battle plans, deception schemes and other downright evil plots are my expertise folks." He then let off of surge, stepping over to what appeared to be the most comfortable seat available. And then proceeding to throw it against the wall, taking out a demonic chair of his own and sitting down on it to one up everyone else. "Ahh, comfy!"

[Coolshaymin]

Tails did not answer the call at first with his depression, but the 3 people comforting him got him to leave in a hurry. Luckily, being fast enough to keep up with Sonic has its perks. As well as a guy that looked quite like Luigi running next to him... Wait, Luigi isn't normally this fast, right?

Mr. L slowed down after overtaking Tails and walked into the room and leaned against the wall. "Sorry I took so long, had to make a few adjustments and repairs to my Brobot after my fight with Black Shadow. Speaking of Black Shadow, heard he had something to do with this," Mr. L said, choosing to lean against a wall rather than actually take a seat.

Tails came in shortly afterwards, a little behind. "I'm here. I helped the plan of defeating Tabuu with King Dedede so I figured I should help out with this plan as well," Tails said, taking a seat.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Surge gave no reaction to the air headed devil, though his Raichu was just about ready to give him an old fashioned tunderbolt. Without his command, the Lightning American’s pet didn’t do anything, though its brown cheek patches were beginning to charge. As Hades released the referee’s head, he wandered next to Captain Falcon. “Seriously, who invited that megalomaniac? We’re in a state of crisis and we allow this guy to be in our conference call?” he whispered to his fellow muscle bound public figure. The F-Zero racer shrugged.

“He’ll provide us with a bit of creative thinking, besides he’s right. He’s run the underworld before coming to Li, he’ll provide us with plenty of ideas” E Gadd answered despite being outside of ear shot from the duo. “Now please take a seat, those three don’t have the time to wait on us” the professor continued while adjusting his glasses and chuckling a bit. The duo proceeded to do as he commanded.

The old man’s balding head then twisted over to the next duo that entered the room. The sidekicks, though Luigi looking a bit off. Of course he wasn’t Luigi though. E Gadd had heard of Mr. L before. Mostly through hearsay and some linking back to Waluigi, so the odds of it being the truth were slim, but there was some evidence against it being a lie. Either way, it didn’t really matter, these individuals would do just fine. “Oh yes, you’ve heard right, young chap. Though I’m sure everyone here is well caught up in the events that took place. It is quite shocking isn’t it?”

“Anyways, now that we are all here, it is time to start this meeting. First though a few refreshments!” the geezer announced as a Lilligant burst through the door, carrying a tray full of food items on her leaf hand. She began to circulate around the table, being halted at Hades because there was no doubt that a problem was going to arise when she passed him.

“And now… Snacks… Oh yes! Now first order of business, Mister Luigi, you seem to know something about Black Shadow, how about you share with us? Considering that we have not much else to go on.”

[PolarStarQuote]

Hades gave a godly yawn, growing bored already until he could be called upon for his battle plans. But, something that did interest him! Chance to make everyone annoyed beyond belief! Hades watched carefully to the Lilligant delivering some small refreshments to everyone except Hades, in which Hades opened that big maw of him and used a kirby style vortex to steal the snacks from under everyone noses. "Mmm, Wonderful!' He said, as he then laid his eyes on the lilligant who was in front of him.



"I wont lie to you, you look like someone from Viridi's army. And i dont like that. So, you'd best just give me that tray, lest you want me to gobble up your soul along with it." Hades said to intimidate the poor flower, before swiping her tray from her and tilting it at enough of a angle all the food stuffs would simply slide into his mouth. "Ah, wonderful. Now, be a dear and get me some more hippie-mon." Hades said, slapping the lilligant's tray down on her head.

[Coolshaymin]

"Sure thing, gramps," Mr. L replied as he continued leaning against the wall. He used a Green Storm to recover some of the snacks for himself by redirecting them from Hades suction, catching his food and triggering the vortex to leave so it does not do harm. "Needed some snacks after maintenance," Mr. L said, eating some of the snacks Hades retrieved. "Anyway, as A.I.M. already knows and probably you, gramps, me, Wolf and Mr. Game & Watch had an encounter with Black Shadow when we were sent to retrieve the flat man. Shadow Bull kept talking about  some brotherhood or something like the Infected was family or something. Whatever the case with that, he obviously had major control over them. He also seems to have some unknown ally that seems to be able to create black hole like things. We barely escaped but my Brobot must of forced them to shut the Black Hole long enough for us to escape. This Black Hole I assume leads into their base, as they might've closed it shortly due to me causing some major damage, that's my guess anyway... There is one more thing I never addressed though because it was not our greatest moment. Shadow Bull surprised us with throwing Starvia at us in an attempt to infect us. If it was not for some eyeball starfish we may of gotten infected. I do not know that thing very well though. It was apparently ignoring me as it talked to Wolf and Shadow Bull mentally given how they talked to themselves," Mr. L concluded his lengthy summary by eating some more of his redirected snacks.

"...Telepathic Eye Starfish?" Tails said out loud, taking a second to think. "The only person or 'alien' I can think of that referring to is Black Doom. But I don't get it. He wanted to basically wipe out our planet. I would of imagined him being on their side... I find it strange he would be closer to our side than theirs," Tails stated.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As Lilligant was ‘passed’ back her try from the snack hoarder, she began to shiver in a state of pseudo fear. She meekly pulled the metallic serving tray from the top of her head and held it between her thinly hands. She bowed to the demon, acknowledging his commands. As she dipped her head though, a collection of spores shot out of her flower and into Hades’ face. These spores were of course the Sleep Powder that most grass types from the Pokemon universe could utilize. (Wis roll = 13 + 2)

With that the living plant skipped away, dropping her terrified act being certain that the ‘king of the underworld’ would be in store for a good and long snooze. Lt Surge shook his head once more, still uncertain why they were putting up with this demon’s antics. As for MC Ballyhoo, he seemed to be getting quite a bit of entertainment out of the display, jiving about in his seat and laughing when he felt necessary.

The room’s attention then gravitated to Mr. L as he began to speak of the events that had taken place before the Life Sphere’s anniversary. Captain Falcon took the most interest into this discussion as Black Shadow was mentioned as seeing the infected as family. His face seemed quite decisive on this matter. “It has to be an imposter, Black Shadow doesn’t care about those lesser than him. By the way, those lesser than him is everybody in his mind” the chief of police added.

“That’s beside the point, Captain. Yes, he’s shown both those abilities in the celebration as well. I suppose Sonic, Samus, and Mario tried to negotiate with him after hearing this story… Hrm, curious that that they didn’t inform me when they decided this…” the professor mused to himself for a little while.

“Affirmative unit Miles Prower, this unit detected his activity out there. Unit Black Doom has only appeared in two cases, both of which involved unit Wolf. This unit has not yet concluded if both subjects are intertied. As for unit Black Doom, his motivations of wiping out your planet was to eliminate what he saw as ‘parasites.’ Perhaps he is doing the same for this planet?” the machine output.

“Bah, that alien doesn’t matter. Our efforts are toward the area of this base of Black Shadow’s. If such a place exists at all, how can we get to it?”

Hades looked at lilligant, who had slapped a big ol' ball of sleeping powder at his face. "Oh, is that it? Then prepare to be a salad you little..r..ru..." with a loud yawn, hades fell face first into the table, making the table tilt upward on the other end before plopping back down to hades snoring....Not exactly sure what else to write, hades is asleep. Uh...Well, you can wake him up when its his turn to start spewing battle plans. Im gonna go get a frappachino, catch you in about 10.

[Coolshaymin]

"I don't know, you expect me to get sucked into the black hole to see the other side? I encountered him in that space junkyard but not sure if that means he lives there." Mr. L retorted, eating another snack.

"Luigi is right. While getting absorbed into the Black Hole if it lead to their base is the easiest way to find it, doing so without quite a bit of backup planning would be foolish. We don't even know where it would lead to in their base. And while its a risky assumption, how would we know he sets base there? If he traveled by car, he could've got there in no time from pretty far away... Could someone wake Hades up? While he may be annoying, the way his snoring is effecting the table is making it difficult to concentrate," Tails stated. Tails was thinking to himself about A.I.M.'s comment on Black Doom.

"He did come in a car like Falcon's," Mr. L confirmed.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

A.I.M. heard the commands given by Tails to wake the slumbering god. Given that it couldn’t refute the order, the machine wheeled out of its position and approached the obnoxious greater being. It calculated the best possible mode of awakening Hades and deduced a good smack might do the trick. “This unit apologizes ahead of time if this injures unit Hades” the ROB rip off informed the unconscious ruler of the underworld. It wound up its clunky fist and released within seconds to deliver a powerful piston punch to his jaw. (Str = 9) “Operation ‘Wakeup Call’ complete, this unit shall return to its seat”

“Thanks for the head’s up” Lt Surge slurred.

The elderly ghost hunter cackled at Mr. L’s response. “Of course not, sonny! The black hole would be a foolish place to start, we’d be right where they’d expect us to be.” E Gadd was amused by Tails’ interjection about Black Shadow’s car. He adjusted his thickly glasses and honed his attention on the little fox boy. “Oh ho? So there is another way. We’d have to lure him out though for that to be of any importance. Even if he’s a professional driver I have my doubts that he’ll be out and about! Didn’t you say he has some sort of fancy with this Gamer Watch fellow? Captain Falcon, you still have your racer?”

“Why would I ever get rid of her?” the F-Zero racer counter-questioned.

The mad scientist began to cackle some more. “Now we’re cooking!”

“WOAH! Things are starting to get heated, what do you have to say Big Top?!!!”

“How about: shut up?”

“Love it, we’ll print T-shirts! This is the best meeting I’ve ever been to!”

[PolarStarQuote]

"Zzz...Zzz...Oh, medusa...You shouldnt of...I l-" Hades awoke from his sweet dreams by metal punch to his face. To which he awoke with a mighty skronk of awakening."Oh dear...I must of fallen asleep. Apologies" Hades said, smiling wide to show that he had very little actual apology for what he did. But, hades was excited with the fact he had seemed to awaken in the right time to be struck with amazing inspiration to help himself and his cohorts.


"Well, then this gives me some ideas!" He said, smiling. "I assume were all thinking of luring black shadow out with a race, so allow me. If black shadow has a thing with game & watch, then we can probably plop G&W in the blue falcon. But, if i can have a few...Provisions. I can have a few minions work on a course specifically designed with blue falcon in mind, with a special surprise in store for black shadow at the end. But, that special surprise requires something on your part."

"I want my underworld army back." Hades smiled, grinning wide. "If all goes well, i may even let you all use them for the battle in the black hole. Besides, compared to the forces of the underworld our current army looks like a bunch of children. Oh, the sounds of war is getting me giddy already! If i can get the blessing, i can go ahead and have a team of fighters help me gather the required items. And if i don't...Well, ill probably do it anyway, but im giving you all a chance to have a piece of my army pie."

[Coolshaymin]

Tails was starting to regret his decision with Hades' Response. "First off, even if there was a way to get your army back, we have no reason to trust you with them according to your history. Two, the main point of luring Black Shadow out is to have some way to find their base. Thirdly, I don't see how your surprise or course would help if we still can't find the enemy so we can rescue Mario, Sonic and Samus. I do agree Game & Watch is our best bait, but we need a way to locate the base. I could probably make some sort of tracker and attach it to his car with the right parts. If that plan does not seem likely, the Tornado can move pretty fast as well. If we trick Black Shadow into a high speed pursuit, I can keep watch for anything suspiscious during the chase. Of course, that's assuming their base has anything suspicious to notice," Tails inquires instead.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As soon as Hades’ comment went through Captain Falcon’s ears, he sprung out of his seat with joy, performing a fist pump as he do so. “Booyeah! I get to race?! I like this guy’s plan already!” The speedy bird of prey then abandoned his seat adjacent to Lt Surge and pulled up one next to the ruler of the underworld. The Lightning American grumbled for a bit, but Ballyhoo came to his side to comfort him. (chr = 19 + 9)

“There there!”

“Sorry sonny, but Tails is right. Besides that, your idea takes too much time. If we have any hope to get to them without them becoming infected, we would need to act faster than the construction of your race track. You’re the only help from the underworld we’ll need, ho ho ho!”

The professor began digging for something underneath his end of the conference table. “But I do like your idea there, foxy! I have something that won’t put that two-dee fellar at risk!” with that he placed an ordinary Assist Trophy onto the table, the only difference was that there wasn’t a silhouetted object on the inside. “It’s a protoform! I can rig this thing to be just about anything, including Mr. Game & Watch! I’ll have to put all power into making it last long, depending on how long it’ll take for big blacky to take the bait. Then we can have the both of you follow him back to wherever he’s headed! One in the sky and one on land! I don’t want to take risks with a tracker since we don’t know the enemy’s base, for all we know the place could jam radio waves, and we wouldn’t want that would we!”

“That’s only getting there though, we don’t know anything about their base, so I have no clue on what we could do from there. Any of you want to take a stab at it?”

[PolarStarQuote]

While hades didn't exactly like being near others as friends, it was nice to see his gag making some sort of impact. Even then, having C. Falcon's support was a honor in itself "You know, you've surprised me. More of a trolling test really to see if your willing to go through with a idea as stupid as that. so congrats, your all not sheep!" Hades chuckled. "Oh, and don't call me sonny. Im hundred billions older than you. But im still as sexy as when i started~" Hades laughed with that.



"Oh, battle plans?? Ill be taking that honor. Now, what i suggest we do is once we have ourselves there...We begin some Black Operations against the Black Shadow. Im talking espionage! And if your willing, i can help in everything. I can throw some hearts into a fiends cauldron and cook up some perfect mimics of black shadows soldiers...Well, once we have a idea on what they look like of course. They will gather information on there plans of operations, study up on there current weaponry and give us a good body count of soldiers. And once we have the info we need....Hahaha...hahahaha! HAHAHAHA!"



Hades then coughed to stop his insane laughing. "Sorry, sorry. Had comedian for breakfast. Anyways, Let me remind you of our current armies state of importance. A man on a horse could simply briskly walk by with a fork, and take out most of your pitiful fleets. Liu Shan would be upset with our military's weakness, Liu. Friggin'. Shan. So, i will ask again. Let me bring up my underworld forces once more to take over your current weak force. Sure, i am great and handsome and could probably beat the snot out of everyone here. But, im not all the underworld you need. If you really want to see Mario, Sonic or samus alive your gonna need more than a few red trench coat wearing hipsters, A few women that charge butt first at people and a few magic shooters. Reapers, Clubberskulls, Gloomerangs and Tempura Wizards...And even then, im giving these forces too you people. You can deny me all control, and you will have full reign to the deadliest monsters in the world. I swear by...Well, me."

[Note by writes, Liu Shan is a Dynasty warriors charecter with extereme pacifism.]

[Coolshaymin]

Tails gave a sigh, "Hades, we are not letting you make an army. From your records, your word isn't exactly the best to trust. I'd trust Eggman before trusting you, and that's saying something. Besides, we already have a good idea of how many men they got. While we do not know how many people are in charge, its a safe bet that building an army from your minions will still not help when they control all the infected. That being said, our best tactic is definitely the power of remaining undetected. The main problem with stealth is that we do not know the layout of the place, but that never stopped Snake, who managed to hide out on the Halberd for who knows how long back when Tabuu was the problem. I do not know exactly how to go about that though, we never had to really bother with stealth in my world."

"We never did either," Mr. L said, playing a 3DS to pass the time.
