CHAPTER TWO: Evil to the Darkest Power

Tabuu shook his head at Forbitten's ignorance. Little did Tabuu know that Forbitten was planning to destroy him and rule the worlds.

All with just his position in Subspace. Of course, Forbitten used to have a world like this one.

Polanaris, The Star of Ice.

But was Forbitten actually going to betray the digital figure?

"Tabuu."

"Yes, Forbitten?"

"The day of the invasion is today, right?"
"IN THE NAME OF SUBSPACE, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"

"I...kinda forgot."

"Psh. So naive..."

"Naive! You're the naive one! YOU were destroyed by the Smashers! YOU failed last time! And did you ask for MY help? Noooo. You just HAD to go on your own! If you had waited till it was time to inquire, I would have sent my Army of Celestia!"

"..."

"The best you could manage was your destruction. Get it in your head, Tabuu. We need to set up a plan to fool them, and THEN wipe them clean."

"Okay."

"The best you can say is OKAY! OKAY ISN'T ENOUGH! HELL YES IS ENOUGH!"

"...Hell yes."

"Oh-a no!" Mario said.

"...Great, what's it this time?" said Ike with irritation in his voice.

"We-a ran out of-a Mushrooms!"

Ike struck Mario with the hilt of Ragnell, sending Mario spinning round and round. When Mario stopped spinning, stars glowed in his eyes, the world whirled around him, and there was Ike, getting ready to swing again. Mario took another hit from Ragnell, this time sending him flying out the window. "Oops..." Ike said with genuine regret in his voice. Everyone was ganging up on him, veins popping up in their faces from anger, getting ready to maul him, when...

BOOM!

"WHAT THE HELL!" Ike screamed at the top of his lungs.

His question was answered by a swarm of Primids rushing into the dining hall, knocking over unwary Smashers and tables as they attacked the Mansion. "Oh, sweet lord, do we SERIOUSLY have to deal with these buggers again?" Muttured Marth under his breath.

A flash of light seared everyone's eyes, blinding them temporarily. When they could open them again, Tabuu was there.

But he looked a whole lot different. For one, he was far more muscular, he had demonic horns in his head, and instead of mauled butterfly wings, he had perfected bat wings, large enough to squash a Smasher with a powerful strike.

"No way in hell that's Tabuu," said Wolf in astonishment.

"I am not Tabuu. I am..." The figure unleashed a ring of fire from his hand, burning the area around him. "...FORBITTEN!"

With that, a swarm of Greaps stormed the room, cutting down Smashers as they went. Ike attempted to fight back, only to be struck down by a particularly large Greap. Following close behind was a flock of Auroros, flanked by numerous Roturrets. Ike gaped in shock as the massive army plowed through, wrecking the Mansion with quick and destructive force.

"Well? Aren't you going to try and fight back?"

"Th...th...THERE'S TOO DAMN MANY OF YOU!"

"Hahaha. Well then, time to leave with...a parting gift."

Forbitten motioned for two ROBs to bring in a Subspace Bomb. The timer set at three minutes, the clock began...to tick.

Sorry about the cliffhanger! Anyway, the Smashers meet Forbitten, and before they can formulate a plan, they're screwed! Will they be able to escape the Mansion before the bomb explodes? More to come in the later chapters of SSBB II: The Rise of Forbitten!
