After getting brutally beaten up by the spammy Pikachu, Ness and TL crawled back to their room, covered in burn marks from Pikachu's thunderbolts.

"Ach, ooh, ow," winced Ness as he slowly made his way through the mansion hallways. Mustering up any last bit of strength they had, they opened the door to their room. Lucas was there, watching the brawls and eating buttered popcorn by the handfuls.

"Hey, guys," greeted Lucas. "Heh, I saw you guys get destroyed by Pikachu. Ness, you REALIZE you could have just used your PSI Magnet to absorb the electricity?"

"I tried several times, but that rat is just too fast for me!" said Ness, sticking several pink bandages decorated with Hello Kittys onto his injured body. "...Why the heck do we only have stupid Hello Kitty bandages anyways?!"

"...They're cute," answered Lucas coldly. All of a sudden, the lights went out and the power surged.

"Ugh. Pikachu must've zapped the power panel again. I'm sick and tired of him," groaned TL.

"You know what that means..." started Ness.

"PRANK TIME!" they shouted together. They ran to the walk-in closet in their room to get some pranking supplies. As they opened the moldy closet doors to look for supplies, however, they discovered that the entire tiny room was empty and all the shelves were bare.

"Hunh?!" cried Ness in shock. "Some sucker raided our pranking closet!"

"Yeah!" shouted TL with anger. "I have no idea how this could have happ...ened..." The two teenagers glanced at each other and came to a sudden realization.

"LUCAS!" shouted Ness and TL in unison. Ness tackled Lucas and held him to the ground.

"AAH! Let me go, Ness, you're HEAVY!" cried Lucas, pinned down by Ness.

"You took our pranking supplies, DIDN'T YOU?!" hollered Ness.

"N-no! It wasn't me!" begged Lucas, trying to push Ness off his now-crushed body. "It could have been...Nana..and...P-popo... I invited them over earlier..."

"Okay, we'll deal with those punks later," said Ness, finally getting off of Lucas. "But for now, let's go beat up Pikachu." He brandished his wooden bat and TL retrieved his sword and shield from the cabinet. They were about to leave when Lucas stopped them.

"Yeah, 'cuz you guys could toootally beat him up in that wonderful brawl match," laughed Lucas.

"I hate to admit it, but Lucas is right. Let's wait till we "save" up enough money to replace the missing prank supplies so we can play a prank on Pikachu...without getting zapped by his annoying thunderbolts," sighed Ness disappointedly.

"So who are we going to prank in this chapter?" asked TL.

"Let's prank Mario," said Ness. "Last week he said he was going to take us bowling but ditched us for a date with Princess Peach. Ugh, worst part is he has like ten other girlfriends though. Let's not forget Pauline, and-"

"Yeah yeah I don't need the whole list. Anyways, like, how are we going to prank him without our awesome supplies?" inquired TL.

"Don't worry about it, I got a very simple plan," said Ness slyly. He pulled out his cell phone from his pants pockets and dialed several digits.

"Phew, that was a tough brawl against Olimar," panted Mario, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He walked into his room and rested in a chair before the door burst open. Several people were at the entrance.

"THERE HE IS!" one of the people yelled, pointing at the plumber. "That's the guy who was wearing that freshly-skinned tanooki suit! Finally, we found him! Can't run away from PETA anymore, freak!"

"Mama mia! They found me!" gasped Mario. He held up a chair in defense.

"Let's get that animal-hater!" screeched the people of PETA, "who cares about the other thousands of animals of animals that are suffering everyday, THIS guy who is wearing an ANIMATED tanooki suit is way worse!" They charged at Mario, trampling the furniture. Mario rushed to his closet to pull out some weapons and other weird stuff.

"Ahaha! See if you can handle...THIS!" Mario pulled out the F.L.U.D.D. and began to squirt and shower the people of PETA with water, hardly pushing them back.

"Heheh..." chuckled Mario embarrassedly. "That didn't hurt you as much as I wanted it to..."

"Yeah...GET HIM!" the angry protestors shouted. Mario jumped out the window, leapt into his mario kart, and floored it.

"MWAHAHA! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE! AHAHA!" laughed Mario maniacally, speeding across the streets and running all the stop signs.

"AFTER HIM!" shouted PETA. They hopped into their van and zoomed after the crazed plumber.

From the window of their room in the SSBB mansion, Ness, TL, and Lucas were watching the entire scene.

"Dude, I knew there was something wrong with Mario ever since I saw him crush Luigi's foot for winning a tennis tournament and stealing his thunder," said Ness.

"Yeah," grinned TL, capturing the car chase on his camcorder.

"Why is PETA always targeting Nintendo?" asked Lucas.

The three boys sat down and pondered about the answer to the question.

"Man, those people are still on my tail! I'm already in the Mario Kart universe... I better try to lose them in Piranha Plant Slide... Those morons will never be able to follow me there!" thought Mario. He took a right and dove into the rapid water slides of the Piranha Plant Slide racetrack.

"Oh no you don't!" yelled PETA. One of the members grabbed a blue shell (from who knows where) and released it into the wild.

Beep beep beep beep. Mario realized what was coming next.

"Oh...my..." WHAM! SMASH! The blue shell attacked Mario, sending him tumbling down a seemingly-endless pit.

"Oh my god! Hey! What the hell, isn't Lakitu supposed to save me?!" screamed Mario as he was falling to his doom.

All of a sudden, Lakitu appeared.

"Hell no! You killed my brothers and sisters in all those Mario games! You ain't gettin' jack from me!" shouted the angry, miserable Lakitu. He flew off in his little cloud and left Mario to smash into the rock-hard ground.

"Oof..." moaned Mario weakly as he passed out.

"Well, that was easy! Now, who wants to go program a pointless game about how Pokemon is supposedly teaching kids about animal abuse?" cheerfully asked the head PETA person.

"I DO!" shouted the people of PETA as they ran off to go protest about something dumb.
