Well, I have returned, and I am feeling so much better. For those of you who don't know I was having writers block, then I got sick. Now I'm back, and the chapter will continue. Unfortunately since more characters are being saved, battles will be less important because they will be easier. As such, more characters will be saved each chapter. I may shorten the process by just including boss fights. Chapters will most likely from this point on be the boss fights. I estimate that there will be around 5 chapters left. I was planning for this to be quite a bit longer, but I feel like things have been getting much to boring. It's time for action.
Character selection from this point on will probably not be very random. I will be picking based on the place that is planned to be explored. Also, more characters will be saved each chapter.
Characters saved: Jigglypuff, Greninja, DK, Link, Samus, Captain Falcon, Yoshi, Pikachu, Peach, Falco, Young Link, and Zelda.
Boss Defeated: Ridley.
"You may never be able to change back. Even if you do then it may permanently erase your memory. Why risk it? It's not like you can do anything about what happened. The Smash Bros. of that age are gone, and there is nothing you can do about it." he was laughing now.
"Tell me how to do it old man, before this sword goes through your head." I stated, drawing my sword from it's sheath.
"And why should I tell you? I like it this way, I'm rich because of the Glitch." he said with an evil smile. My sensei had told me that this would happen when I met the man that stood before me, he told me I would have to give him something that was worth it for him. Then again, I never did like bargaining.
"Ok, let me put it this way, if you don't help me I will cut your head off and give all your riches to the poor of this city that you ripped off, and I will take your Katana and use it to roast you over a fire like a dead pig!" I said to him, seeing the fear in his eyes.
"You wouldn't, you don't have the guts." he said, sweating.
"Ok, have it your way." I said, raising my sword.
"Ok, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. To become..." he said.
"Rex, are you really sleeping again?" said Rose, shaking me awake.
I had fallen asleep while working, I had been getting extremely tired from the constant fighting.
"I have good news." she said, finally waking me up.
"What did I miss?" I asked.
"Everyone that was defeated has regained use of their standard a and b attacks."
"That's good, can I go back to sleep?" I asked.
"No, you need to go look for more characters." she replied.
"Fine, anyone who wants to can come with me and explore some more."
We began heading for the infirmary. Half of the team remained back in the hall to protect Rose. As we entered the infirmary we were met with plenty of trouble. A huge group of shadows had gathered (see list above except Samus). The battle was long but eventually we had defeated them all.
We were about to head back when the roof was ripped off, and the one responsible was Ridley. On his back stood Shadow Samus. I was not willing to risk the lives of my teammates against this boss, so I decided to take it on myself.
"Fall back, I'll handle Ridley. But I need you guys to distract Shadow Samus." I looked for the approval of the group and saw no objections. "Ok, let's do this!"
Ridley chose that moment to attack. Thankfully I was able to sidestep and dodge the attack. Ridley doubled back and I chose that moment to "Draw Sword! Swing! Battle Spin! Draw Knife!" I was mostly on the defensive. It would appear to most that I was losing, but I was really observing the creature, looking for a moment to strike.
The others had been easily fighting Samus, but none of them were able to deal a finishing blow. Game&Watch was among them, and he seemed to be getting pushed back, he didn't seem worried though. It was almost as if he was leading it away from the group.
I saw my chance, and I took it. "Sight!" I countered his attack and the beast was sent flying toward the wall. Game&Watch had chosen that moment to lead Shadow Samus to where Ridley was about to crash, and the shadow was smashed against the wall by the body of the creature.
Both shadows began to disintegrate. We went over and grabbed Samus from the wall, and began bringing them all back to the hall.
Things had began to get better, but we still had a long way to go.
So, I'm glad to be back and I hope everyone is engjoying the story so far. See you guys on Valentine's Day. (What might I be planning?)
