Battle in the forest: The Net Savior Vs the Pink Starwarrior
In two flashes of light, both Lan and Kirby appeared in an enormous forest. They were both standing in a clearing, surrounded by trees on every side. As both observed their surroundings, a shimmering image of the robed man appeared in the middle of the clearing.
"You are both now in the Forest's Domain, a huge forest where the trees grow so high, it blocks out all light. There are several clearings throughout the entire area, allowing for some visibility."
"How will I battle? I don't see any netbattle machines."
"This whole area is covered by what you call a "dimensional area", which will allow you to battle. Also.." He snapped his fingers and a blue object dropped down infront of Lan.
"...by using this device, you will be able to use your weapons."
Lan picked up the device and attached it to his PET. After slotting in all his chips, he pulled out a shimmering chip with a green jewel on it: his syncro chip.
"This won't be too hard. He's just a pink ball."
"Don't get overconfident. We don't know what he's capable of."
"What could he do? Bounce on me?"
"This is a simple knockout match", continued the robed man, "the first one to either give up, or lose consciousness, is eliminated from the tournament. Combatants, get ready!"
"Syncro chip in! Download!" A light began to pour from his PET's screen once the chip was slotted in.
"Cross fusion!"
He became surrounded by light as his PET transformed into a cloud of pixels. Blue armor began to cover his feet, becoming a pair of blue boots. More blue pieces covered his hands and formed gloves as a yellow pad appeared on each shoulder.
Megaman's symbol appeared, planting onto Lan's jacket, covering him in a shimmering light. When the light subsided, he was now wearing a blue bodysuit, a kind of pack appeared on his back as well. Two light blue rings appeared on his head, covering it in more light, which formed his helmet, his hair poking out the back. As he took a finishing pose, blue lines appeared on his bodysuit, running from his hands and feet to the symbol on his chest. When the light subsided, Lan had transformed into R Megaman, the exact likeness of his navi.
Kirby just stood there, preparing to attack.
"Let the battle...BEGIN!"
"Megabuster!" A blue barrel appeared on R Megaman's arm, firing several purple blasts at the pink Starwarrior. Kirby pulled out a hammer (out of nowhere I might add...) and used it to defend against the blasts. He then ran at him, swinging his hammer.
"Two can play at that game. Hammer!" A steel hammer appeared in his hand. As Kirby was running towards him, he brought it down to his foot, like a club. When Kirby came close enough, he yelled "FOUUURRRRR!!!" and swung the hammer like a golf club, sending Kirby flying into the distance.
"Lan, I...think ya over did it abit."
"Well, I...hey, What's that?" Lan had noticed something in the sky, coming closer and closer.
"It looks like...you cannot be serious!"
It was Kirby! The little puffball had blown himself up with air like a balloon, and was floating back to the clearing. Lan waited for him to land, so he could knock him back again.
"Comeback for more eh? Heatshot!" a flame-thrower appeared in place of his hand and prepared to fire. When Kirby caught sight of it, a glint could be seen in his eyes.
"Fire!" The moment the flameball came flying towards him, Kirby began to breathe in, turning his mouth into a black hole.
"What is he doing?"
The flameball began to pick up speed, until it was absorbed by Kirby's black hole of a mouth. The moment he "ate" the ball of fire, He jumped into the air, spinning around as a gold visor with a blue jewel fell onto his head and a huge stream of fire shot out the top. To finish it, he changed to a shade of red and came back down to earth.
"What the...did he just transform?"
"Looks that way Lan."
Without saying a word, Kirby let loose a stream of flames at R Megaman. He quickly held up his arms to block the flames and only got slight burns and soot marks.
"Now he shoots flames!?! Time to fight fire with fire!"
Activating his Heatsoul chip, his bodysuit changed to a shade of red and grey. His gloves and boots became grey and his helmet now was spouting flames. A burner appeared on each arm.
"Fire arm!" Bringing up one of his arms, flames began to shoot from the burner on his arm. Kirby matched his firearm with his own flame breath. The flames met and both tried to push the other back, with no success.
"Lan, I think it's time we changed tactics."
"Good idea. Blackbomb!" A dark cherry bomb appeared in his open hand. Throwing it into the center of the flames, it exploded, creating a huge ball of fire. When the blast cleared, R Megaman had disappeared, trailing footprints into the forest. Kirby, not detecting a trap, walked right into the forest.
The forest was pitch black, making the only light source the fire on the top of his head. Kirby slowly walked through the forest, waiting for anything. Unknown to him, R Megaman had changed into Searchsoul, a camouflaged sniper. Hidden by the darkness, he was hiding in a nearby tree, while his eyepiece locked onto the target. Moments later, the crosshairs on his eyepiece locked onto Kirby and he fired off a single blast from the barrel of his sniper.
Kirby, defenseless, was hit hard in the back, knocking him out of his fire form, a red star flying from his mouth and disappearing. Kirby got up and tried to find where the shot had come from, but without his fire, he was bathed in darkness.
While he was searching for the source of the blast, another shot came from the darkness, hitting him again. The third time R Megaman fired, Kirby was ready. He began to suck up again and ate the laser blast, which cause another transformation.
Again, he jumped into the air, but this time a strange helmet with a device attached to it landed on his head. A pair of infer-red glasses slid over his eyes before it was finished. With the glasses, he could see in the extreme darkness, allowing him to see his opponent. Placing his "hands" on the side on his helmet, an orange laser shot from a lens on the helmet.
The laser bounced off a tree, off another tree, and bounced of several other trees before hitting R Megaman in the back, knocking him out of the tree and out of Searchsoul. This time, he was the one in pitch darkness.
"This is bad…"
Again, a laser shot from Kirby's helmet, bounced off trees before striking him. This time, he was hit in the shoulder. Then again in the back again. Meanwhile, he was trying to come up with a plan. He tried to hide behind a tree, but the blast still hit him. Then, tried jumping out of the way of the laser, but it just bounced off something else and hit him still. Then, he got an idea.
"Let's shed some light on the situation. Flashbomb!" A glowing orb appeared in his hand. Throwing it up, it exploded, covering the whole area in a flash of light, blinding Kirby. While he was blinded, Lan fired off a blast from his Megabuster. This hit him, knocking him out of laser mode.
"Now's my chance. Windracket!" A fan appeared on his arm. Swinging it, he sent a blast of air towards Kirby, blowing him back. Lan blew another blast, but Kirby absorbed it. This time, a helmet with a constant mini tornado appeared on his head.
"Oops…"
Kirby began spinning, the tornado on his head getting bigger and bigger until it had become a full-blown twister. The pull of the twister began to uproot trees and eventually pulled up the tree R Megaman was holding on too, pulling him in too.
"Ahhhh!!" R Megaman became trapped in the twister, spinning around and around.
"How…do…we…stop this…thing?"
"Lan! I've noticed that all it takes to knock him out of his transformations is one hit. You have to try to hit him!"
"Easy for you to say. You're not the one trapped in a twister trying to hit the eye!"
"Try to reverse the twister."
"How?"
"Use a tornado!"
"Oh. Ok.. Tornado!"
Even though he was still in the pull of the twister, he began to spin, counteracting the twister and causing an opening to the eye.
"Now!"
"Megabuster!" Firing one blast of energy, it hit Kirby, turning him back. This also stopped the twister, causing both of them and the trees to fall out of the sky.
"Airshoes!" Jets appeared on his boots, allowing him to float in mid-air. Kirby also puffed himself up so he too could float.
They both landed on the tops of trees that hadn't been uprooted. Lan activated his Longsword and swung at Kirby, who did something unexpected: he bit it.
"Hey! Get off!' He tried to shake him off but he held tight. A loud crack could be heard as the blade of the sword was bit clean off. Kirby began to chew on the sword as R Megaman disposed of the broken hilt. As Kirby swallowed the blade, he transformed again.
A green hat with a white pompom appeared on his head. A sword seemed to appear out of nowhere, which he grabbed and spun around a few times before.
Back in the main hall…
"Hey! That's me!" yelled Link.
Everyone looked at him, then at the Kirby on the screen. Then at him again.
"I guess he does…look like him…a little." Was most of their answer.
Back in the battle…
Lan had activated his Shadowsoul, transforming him into the ninja navi. Like the wind, he began hopping across the tops of the trees, trying to put distance between him and the Link-look-alike.
"How can we fight this guy? Whenever I attack, he just eats it and transforms."
"There has to be someway to.." He didn't finish that, as a blast of energy shot from behind him, barely missing him.
"Uh-oh. Don't look now, but he's right behind us!"
Kirby was hopping across the treetops as fast as he was. His sword began to glow as he sent another sonic wave at Lan. Lan ducked as it shot over his head.
"We have to slow him down somehow…"
Stopping on one of the treetops, he quickly activated his vine chip, sending snake like vines shooting out of the tree. Kirby began to cut the vines as they came near him, until one wrapped around his sword, preventing him from using it. More wrapped around his hands and feet and continued to snake towards him.
"That should hold him. Vulcan!" A Vulcan appeared on his arm, firing of several shots at Kirby, who was still tangled in the vines.
As the shot were coming towards him, Kirby's sword began to glow brightly. After a few seconds, his sword seemed cloaked in light.. Suddenly, he began spinning around like a top, cutting the vines and flinging the shots back towards Lan, who quickly drew the sword from the scabbard on his back and knocked back the attack.
Lan suddenly disappeared, reappearing behind Kirby. As he swung his sword, Kirby quickly spun around and used his sword to block it. Both tried to push the other back, but to no avail. That was until, they stepped of the treetop while trying to push each other back. Both plummeted to the ground, but thankfully landed in soft bushes, only getting minor bruises. Because most of the trees were gone, the forest was filled with light.
As Lan tried to get up, Kirby quickly sent another sonic boom at him. Quickly, Lan crossed his hands infront of his chest, creating a seal. When the blast struck him, the only thing injured was a small doll, as Lan had disappeared. Suddenly, a shuriken came hurtling towards Kirby, who quickly knocked it away with his sword. Before he could react, Lan came falling out of the sky, no longer in Shadowsoul and with his fist covered in gold because of his Goldfist chip, he punched Kirby right on the head, knocking him out of his transformation and pounding him into the ground.
"There's no way he can come back from that!"
Suddenly, the earth seemed to cave in, as a huge hole suddenly appeared. From the hole came an angered Kirby, with a mouth full of…something.
"There's no way!"
Before Lan could attack, Kirby shot out a huge stream of mud from his mouth into Lan's eyes, blinding him.
"Arg! I can't see!"
"Lan, look out!" Megaman's warning came too late, as the pink ball suddenly jumped at his shoulder and bit down hard. Lan tried to knock him off, but he was still blinded by the mud in his eyes.
"Get off!" Lan formed his buster and aimed it at his shoulder. Firing, he knocked Kirby off, but also hit himself in the shoulder. Quickly, Lan rubbed to dirt out of his eyes, allowing him to see again. As he caught sight of Kirby, he saw something in his mouth. Something yellow.
"Uh-oh. That's not…" It was, indeed, his shoulder pad, bitten clean off.
"If he eats that…Oh-no!!"
Before Lan could do anything to stop him, Kirby had swallowed the piece of armor whole. He began to glow blue as a new transformation was activated.
Beginning the transformation, a light blue helmet with yellow marks on it landed on his head. His skin changed to a dark blue color, like Megaman's bodysuit. A barrel weapon appeared on his arm. Holding it up with his other arm, he took a finishing pose and the change was complete.
"He looks like…"
"ME!?!"
Testing out his new form, he brought up his buster and randomly fired of several purple blasts. Most of them struck sailed through the air, but a few hit a nearby tree knocking it down, with a loud crash.
"We have to take him out before he learns what he can do! Elecblade!" A steel blade surrounded by a yellow aura appeared on his arm. Lunging forward, he swung it at Kirby, who brought up his gloved hand to block it. The two collided, creating sparks on contact.
As Lan attacked with the elecblade, Kirby began building up power in the barrel of his weapon. Lan didn't see this, until it was too late. Kirby unleashed the power of the charge shot, blowing Lan back. The force of the blast also sent Kirby flying back as well.
"What can I do! He copies everything I throw at him. Except for…"
Lan had an idea. He crossed out, his PET returning to him.
"Is he giving up already?" asked Bowser from the main hall.
Lan reached into his pocket and pulled out two chips. One had the image of a wolf head on it. The other had a picture of a bird on it.
"Lan, you're not planning on…"
"It may be our only hope to beat him."
"Alright. I just hope you know what you're doing."
Lan quickly slotted in the two chips, along with his syncro chip, becoming R Meagaman once again. By this point, Kirby had recovered from the recoil of the attack. He prepared to fire again.
"Ready Megaman?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Alright. Let's do this!"
Kirby had built up enough energy. Firing, a huge blast of energy shot from the buster, blasting towards Lan.
"NOW!"
"Gregar beast-out!" A huge amount of energy suddenly shot out of the ground, covering R Megaman and blocking the attack. A loud roar could be heard as the energy completely covered him. When it disappeared, everyone gasped at what they saw.
Lan had completely changed. He now resembled some kind of wolf. His armor had transformed to a dark green color and covered almost his whole body. A tail appeared to come out the back of his armor. Strange claws seemed to be acting as shoulder pads. A pair of claws were attached to both his wrists, and his boots had become large clawed feet. His helmet looked like a wolfs head, with orange spikes coming out the back and his head placed in the center of the mouth. His eyes had changed to a deep shade of red and a strange mark was on the top of his helmet.
Kirby, seeing the new form, began to tremble in fear. He tried to keep the barrel of his weapon steady, but it was moving all over the place. Before anyone could even blink, Lan had gotten behind Kirby and had grabbed him by the back of his head. Spinning him around, he threw him up in the air.
Before he even started to come down, Lan had suddenly appeared above him, drop kicking him back into the ground. The moment Kirby hit the ground, he suddenly appeared standing over him. Like a soccer ball, he kicked him into a tree, which he bounced off into another tree, back to Lan. Lan caught him in his hand as he came back. The force of the attack finally hit, as he reverted back to normal.
Everyone stood gasping at what they were viewing.
"Such speed…" remarked Sora.
"Such power…" remarked Ganondorf.
Bass was standing in the corner, watching this. He began to smile at what was being displayed on the screen.
"Maybe this wont be as boring as I thought it would be."
"Lan. I think it's time we ended this."
"I agree."
Still clutching Kirby in his hand, the claws on his wrist began to glow. Leaping into the air, he dive bombed into the ground, slamming Kirby so hard in the ground that it created a large crater. Kirby was lying still in the crater, swirls spinning in his eyes. The image of the robed man appeared once again.
"Knockout. The winner is: Lan and Megaman."
Once the winner was declared, Lan deactivated beast-out and crossed out. He fell to his knees, having used up a large amount of energy to beast-out.
"Lan…you alright?"
"Yeah….I'm fine." Lan slowly got to his feet. He walked up to the crater and was about to help get Kirby out when the robed man snapped his fingers, and Kirby vanished.
"Hey! What to you do with him!"
"Do not worry. I have mearly sent him back to his world. He will be cured of all injuries once he returns to there is no need to worry. It is time for us to return." Snapping his fingers again, both him and Lan disappeared in a large flash of light.
