"Ganon? Ganon? Gaaaanon? Stop ignoring me! Down here! Helloooo? Mister Gerudo?" As hard as Ganondorf tried to block out the now young Link following him down the Smash Mansion's halls, it was difficult with all the blabbering the kid was doing. Finally, he snapped.

"What. Do. You. WANT." Ganon quickly turned and stared down at his mortal enemy.

"I wanna know what we're doing!" Link pouted, looking up at the Gerudo angrily. Though to Ganon, the 'angry' look was laughable at best.

"I already told you, we're finding the other smashers." Ganon mumbled, continuing walking down the carpeted halls with Link right on his heels.

"Oooh, okay." Link nodded in understanding. "I can't wait to find Zelda! She's my best friend, ya know."

"Oh I know." The Gerudo muttered under his breath as the child continued.

"She's so purty," Link sighed dreamily. "I think she's the most purtiest princess in the world. Peach is cute, but Zelda is purtier."

"I get it, kid."

"I wonder what Ike is doing? He's so muscley! I wish I was that strong. No one in the entire world, no, universe could possibly be that strong!"

As much as Ganon hated it, Link's remark stung a little. 'What does the kid think I am, a weakling?'

"Hey Ganon? Where'd Rosalina go?"

Ganon growled. "She ran off, remember?"

"Oooh yeaaah."

Silence filled the halls, and Ganon breathed an inward sigh of relief. 'Finally, he quiets. He's like the thing that wouldn't shut up! Maybe now I ca-'

"99 bottles of milk on the wall, 99 bottles of miiiilk, you take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of milk on the waaall!"

Ganondorf groaned and clutched his head in his hands. 'Why me? Why me?'

"You take one down, pass it around- Hey look, the dining room!" Link quickly sprinted towards a set of oak double doors and pushed them open.

"Link! Stop!" The Gerudo quickly followed after the child, bursting into the dining room behind him. What he saw, he wasn't sure he wanted to see.

"Wheeee!" Children. Were. Everywhere.

Rosalina had pushed a few chairs close to each other and was sitting on one of them, Peach and one of the female, blue haired newcomers sitting on the others. Link was standing on the long dining room table along with Ike, both brandishing sticks as swords (Ganon didn't even want to know how Link got there so fast). Samus had strung her whip on the huge, expensive chandelier and was swinging on it back and forth like a swing, a couple of smashers whining to get a turn.

Ganondorf felt scarred for life. Once he snapped out of the pure shock of seeing so many rowdy children, he was fuming. "EVERYBODY STOP!"

At once, all the activity in the room froze and the children all turned to look at him. It was then Ganon noticed that while some of the smashers were here, most were still missing.

"That's better," The Gerudo breathed a sigh of relief. "Now everyone get over here!" The children quickly scampered over to Ganon's feet, all faces revealing how scared they were of the man who's yell still reverberated in their ears.

"Ummm, Mr. King of Evil?" Ganondorf looked down at the voice and saw one of the newcomers (from Pit's world, if he remembered correctly) holding the hand of a very small angel.

"Yeees?" The Gerudo's patience was beginning to run thin, and the young girl with green hair looked uncomfortable.

"Pit… Needs the bathroom."

Ganon stared at the small angel Pit, who's huge blue eyes stared up at him, unblinking. "...Couldn't you take him?"

The small girl put her hands on her hips. "I am Palutena, the goddess of light, thank you very much! I will not enter the boy's bathroom as long as I shall live!"

The Gerudo was dumbfounded. "How does this even make sense?! You are a goddess for goodness sakes, why did you get turned into a child and I didn't?!"

The now young Palutena shrugged. "I dunno. But Pit needs the bathroom, and if you don't take him…" The goddess let the threat hang in the air, until Ganon finally relented.

"...Fine." The Gerudo sneered, bending to take the small angel's hand (the King of Evil now looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame) and glaring at the group of children. "I will be back. And if any of you have left this room or burned it down by the time I return, I will be giving out free warlock punches."

Seeing the petrified look on the children's faces at the mention of his famous warlock punch, Ganon finally turned and began leading Pit to the bathroom.


After returning to the dining room from Pit's little bathroom trip (if you could really call it little, the kid spent a good ten minutes in there humming some ridiculous tune), Ganon stood out in the hallways leading off of the dining room. He didn't really need to watch the kids, so he locked them in. That should be enough. Even with the doors closed he could still hear the children on the other side. Trying to block out the joyous squeals coming from the dining room, Ganon decided to take an inventory of the children he had and then ones he still needed to find. So far, his "found" list looked like this-

Link

Rosalina and Luma

Palutena

Pit

Samus

Ike

Peach

Lucina

Robin

And his "not found" list? Much, much longer. So much longer, in fact, Ganon was ready to break down just thinking of finding the rest of them.

"If only the Twinrova were here," Ganondorf grumbled, thinking of his surrogate mothers and the only ones he knew that might be able to help him with finding the children. Their magic powers were rivaled by none. As soon as he finished speaking, two puffs of smoke appeared in front of Ganon, causing him to jump back a bit.

"There he is!"

"Looks just like me, I tell ya!"

The king of evil watched as two witches, one of fire, one of ice, materialized before him. The Twinrova. The ice witch, Kotake, looked at the fire one, Koume, annoyed.

"Excuse me, but I think you mean he looks just like me! I am the younger after all, and he is young as well-"

"Kotake, you know we are twins! You can't be younger than I, we are the same age!"

The Twinrova proceeded to get into an argument over their ages when Ganon cleared his throat and diverted their attention to him. "How are you two here?" To tell the truth, Ganondorf was slightly unnerved that they both showed up as soon as he mentioned them. What were they, stalkers?

"Oh, we were invited to the tournament. We're special guests on the Gerudo Valley stage," Kotake waved her hand dismissively, and Ganon remembered that Master Hand had told him this piece of information already, the Gerudo just didn't pay him much attention (as always).

"So, what did you need?" Koume smiled, though instead of being comforting, it was a bit scary looking. Ganon didn't mind this though, he was evil after all.

And so Ganondorf told them everything that happened, including the story of the villain the smashers had supposedly defeated, Tabuu. Once he finished his tale, the Twinrova nodded.

"Ah, yes, we'll help you find the other children." Kotake said, and Koume nodded her agreement before both vanishing in puffs of smoke.

So Ganondorf waited for them to return.

And waited.

And waited.

He was getting so bored, he was counting the number of steps it took him to get from one end of the hall to the other (this information was particularly useful if one wanted to evilly pace properly) when he suddenly heard a strange noise. Stopping, he listened closely until he could make out two raspy voices shrieking together.

"Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em aaaaall! You know it's you and me, you know it's our destinyyyy!"

Quickly realizing the two voices were the Twinrova, and that they were singing, Ganon covered his ears with his hands to prevent them from bleeding. Not only were they singing, but they were singing the Pokemon Theme, albeit with a couple of wrong lyrics. Ganondorf was scarred for life.

When the two puffs of smoke reappeared before him, and the Gerudo had seen that both the witch's lips were unmoving, he finally unblocked his ears. "What took you two so long?! And why were you singing?!"

Koume chortled. "Finding all those kids was not easy, Ganon! What did you think we were, all powerful or something?"

Kotake cackled at the thought, then quieted and gestured to the closed dining room door. "All the kids are in there. We warped 'em in. Quite fun to hear their terrified screams at the sight of our magic, actually."

The fire witch snickered at the memory, and Ganon couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of a tiny, shrieking Zelda being sucked into one of the Twinrova's portals.

"And the singing?" the ice witch looked at Ganon like the answer was obvious. "We were hunting down the Pokemon, that's why! You can't hunt Pokemon and not sing the Pokemon theme song!"

The King of Evil looked at Twinrova like they'd each grown extra heads. They liked to sing!? What's more, they actually knew things about Pokemon?! Ganondorf would never fully understand his surrogate mothers.


This was it. Ganon was about to do the most dangerous thing he'd ever done, something that took more guts than even the Triforce of Power could give him.

He was about to open the dining room door.

It's okay, Ganon, The King of Evil reassured himself mentally. They are just children. You are a warlock. Just- just do it. I can't believe Twinrova already had to leave though. Ganon grumbled at the memory.


The Twinrova cackled at Ganondorf's request for them to stay and help him.

"Did you think we could dedicate all our time to helping with these kids?!" Kotake breathed in between bouts of maniacal laughter. "We're already late for our plane!"

The King of Evil raised an eyebrow. "What plane?"

"The plane to Hawaii!" Koume chortled. "Master Hand and Crazy arranged for all Assist Trophies and Special Guests to have a trip to the Aloha State!"

"Yep!" Kotake cackled. "Call us if you ever really need help again, just don't expect us to come right away! I plan to do some serious sunbathing!"


Ganon shuddered at the image Kotake had left him with. The ice witch in a bathing suit. What Ganondorf had seen, he could not unsee.

Shaking his head to try and stop thinking about Kotake in a bikini (and failing miserably, it was burned into his mind), the Gerudo finally slowly unlocked the door with a golden key. Hearing a click, Ganon rose his hand, which shakily hovered over the golden doorknob for a few seconds before firmly planting on it. Slowly, he turned the knob and quietly cracked the dining room door.
