Hey! Don't worry this isn't another big story. It's just a small Super Smash bros fic I finished yesterday and wanted to put on here too. It's been a while since I wrote a SSBB story. So yeah, this was just put up here for enjoyment and for you to kill some time. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Pikachu stared out the window off the Halberd as the large ship flew above the clouds. It had been a long time since the Smash bros had taken a normal flight in the Halberd since they had been fighting the Shadow Brawlers a lot more often now. The sun shone overhead as the head of the Halberd glinted as it turned to raise its altitude. Just then, a crash was heard from below. It sounded like it was coming from the main engine room. She ran to the ladder that led to the main engine and generator as the others were gathering around it.
"What do think the problem is?" Sonic wondered. "We better check; Meta Knight has to keep steering the Halberd." Captain Falcon said. One by one, the warriors climbed down into the room. All of the machines that kept the ship running took up the entire base of the Halberd creating an enormous hallway of roaring engines and generators. All the machines looked like they were working properly, until they arrived at the main generator that powered all the machines. It was crackling with electricity, sending out small bolts of lightning and looked quite dangerous.
"What's wrong with it?" The Ice Climbers asked in unison. "It looks overloaded, but luckily it's stable for now." Samus said. "What happens if it becomes unstable?" Luigi asked nervously. "The ship may blow up." Ness answered simply as if it was no big deal. Samus nodded, "But as long as we hold a steady course, it should calm down." Samus said.
As if her very words had triggered it, the ship lurched forward throwing everyone to the ground. The red lights on the ceiling began to flash signaling a red alert. The warriors scrambled up the ladder and into the cockpit where Mata Knight was trying to steer the ship away from the unknown danger with great difficulty. "What's going on?" Mario asked frantically. "We're flying right above a magnetic field; the air is charged with very dangerous lightning and may destabilize the generator if we get hit." Meta Knight explained. "Then hurry and fly us out of here!" Lucas cried. "I wish I could, but the metal on the ship is being pulled by the field. Until we get out we can't fly any higher." Meta Knight said.
Pikachu knew this was really bad; if they got hit with lightning the generator would definitely blow. The only way to make the generator stable again was to somehow absorb the excess electricity into another source; a source Pikachu knew they didn't have. But Pikachu did know what she could do to help. She quietly ran out of the cock pit and slid back down to the main generator.
She faced the large machine; deep down she was afraid of what may happen, she had never done this before with something this large. Back in the Thunder tribe other electric Pokémon would absorb the electricity of others who were willing to give it if they needed healing or to restore their energy. Pikachu took a deep breath and went down on all fours, this needed to be done; for her friends' sake. She slowly lifted her tail so it stood tall and straight and she felt a large lightning bolt strike the base of the Halberd.
Back in the cockpit, everyone was thrown to the ground by the sudden shock. "We're hit!" Meta Knight yelled. A red light on one of the many screens flashed red signaling that the generator had reached its limit. Pikachu gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut as an enormous flow of lightning erupted from the generator.
The lightning struck her tail as if it were a lightning rod as the electricity was sent into her body. Pikachu allowed the electricity to store itself in her electric sacks in her cheeks, but she wasn't sure how much electricity was in that generator. She opened one eye to look at the pressure meter for generator and was relieved to see that it was going down; it was slow, but it was better than nothing.
Meta Knight noticed this too in the cock pit. "How is this happening; all the excess electricity is being reduced somehow." Pikachu opened her eyes halfway as the electricity continued to enter her body, but she beginning to feel pain as it entered. She let out a few moans of pain; if this didn't let up soon, she would probably explode along with the generator.
Samus looked around the cockpit, as she thought she heard a far-off moan. Then, she realized that a certain yellow mouse was missing. Since she wasn't wearing her power suit, it was easy to slip out of the cockpit without being heard. She ran down to the main generator where she heard more moans. Her eyes widened as she saw Pikachu absorbing all the electricity. Her entire body was shaking and her face was screwed up with pain.
"Pikachu! What are you doing?!" Samus yelled. Pikachu turned her head towards her slightly. "Stay back!" she yelled as Samus tried to approach, "Almost all the electricity is gone; I just…need…to retain it!" She yelled slowly. The meter was almost back to normal, but Pikachu didn't know how much more she could take. Her body began to send out pulses of electrical energy.
The meter was nearly back to normal, but her mind was slowly going crazy. "It's too much! It's too much! Someone please! MAKE IT STOP!" she screamed. Samus began to run towards the mouse, but was hit with one of the pulses, sending her flying against the wall. She got up as Pikachu let out a final scream of pain before the electricity flow finally stopped and the mouse collapsed to the ground.
"Pikachu!" Samus cried as she knelt by the mouse. She was out cold, but sparks were still flying from her cheeks. "C'mon, wake up!" she urged, but the mouse wouldn't respond. She looked up as Link slid down the ladder, "Samus, what's going-" he stopped short when he saw Pikachu. He ran over to her, "What happened?" he asked urgently. "Let's get upstairs first, I'll explain from there."
