"Everyone protect Samus!" Lil Mac ordered quickly, taking control of the situation. Everyone ran to cover Samus while trying to look for the source of the well-known and mostly feared voice. "Relax, Relax, here comes the axe," they all tensed up as the voice continued "Hooray, Hooray, its weeding day!" Suddenly, the Villager sprang out and rushed towards Lil Mac swinging his axe in double arcs "Lil Mac, duck!" Lucario communicated telepathically, Lil Mac did as he was told and a fully charged Aura Sphere greeted the Villager as he missed his target "Oh this is going to be fun; you're actually going to fight?" Villager questioned. Shortly After Samus tried to stand up saying "Guys, we have to fight" she then fell into unconsciousness from pain. "Would you look at that, a woman who doesn't know any better, what're the odds?" Villager said calmly. "No guys, she's right, we have to fight, don't listen to him" Rock said determinedly. "Would you look at that, a woman who doesn't know any better, what're the odds?" Villager repeated. "Well, you walked right into that one Rock" Lil Mac laughed. Villager took the distraction to attack Lil Mac, "Watch out Mac" Lucario yelled, but it was too late, he had already been struck. "Shit" Lil Mac yelled angrily "Alright you'll pay for that, time for it once again, that's right my signature Knockout Uppercut" A brief flash of emotion appeared in the villager's eyes when Lil Mac said this, Lil Mac's signature was well known and almost as feared as he was, with the power to knockout opponents before they could even lay a finger on him, then the Villager came up with a plan to avoid it.
"What's the matter; have to rely on cheap tricks to beat me?" Villager asked mockingly, tempting Lil Mac's arrogant side "I bet you can't even touch me otherwise, you are the weakest fighter after all…" "Mac, don't listen he's just trying to tempt you, you're our only hope" Lucario communicated, just then Lil Mac remembered something, some scrapped combo moves from the tournament's beta "Lucario, grab Rock and have him shoot Samus' knee" Lil Mac commanded "What!? Have you gone mad Mac!?" Rock replied "I won't shoot he-" he was about to finish before he saw the look in Lil Mac's eyes, which told him that he had to do as Lil Mac commanded, or he'd be forced to one way or another. "Alright let's do it" Rock said, knowing he'd probably regret it "Alright, sorry Samus, I hope this goes better than I think it will" Rock thought to himself "Don't worry, Lil Mac knows what he's doing" Lucario replied, intruding on Rock's thoughts "Alright here goes, Mega Buster!" Rock yelled doing his signature move on his unconscious companion "Lucario, Heal Pulse" Lil Mac yelled "You clever dick" Lucario thought as he shot a Heal pulse into the Mega Buster, turning it into positive energy, partially healing Samus and jumpstarting her suit. "Damn it didn't work, did you hold back Rock?" Lil Mac questioned angrily. Villager took this opportunity to swing his axe powerfully at the pokemon, which Lucario barely managed to block with one of the spikes on his arm.
Samus woke with a start, and didn't know what was going on, and then it all came back to her, the robot master, Dark Pit, the villager, and her knee. "Fuck, my knee" she thought, not daring to move anything but her head. She took in the situation and her battle worn friends. She knew immediately what had to be done. "Lucario, use Aura Storm" she thought to him, hoping he was listening, luckily he was, Lucario had considered using Aura Storm when Samus didn't wake up, but didn't know if it would knock out the Villager and knew it would leave him unconscious, hearing the command however, he knew he had no choice. Everyone looked to see Lucario begin to fire his most powerful attack, only second to his mega evolution, against the Villager, what happened next shocked all of them "Zero Laser, Fire!" Samus screamed. Actual fear registered in the Villager's eyes when he realized what had happened. The two beams crossed into one huge beam of pure energy and aura and consumed the villager in its strength; it even pierced the usually invincible walls of the Robot Master's chamber, in fact, pure force made the walls themselves peel back, giving everyone in the room some fresh air and revealing the night sky.
