Chapter 7: The Ambush
Fawful- GWAHAHAHA! I have fury!
Mario- Fawful!
Fawful- Good see red mustache again…but Fawful not here for you. Master Tabuu told Fawful to claim bigger prize.
Mario then turned to Kyrin.
Mario- You're after Kyrin! Shit! I lead him too you!
Fawful- That you did, Mario. Fawful thankful for that! Now, move fat ass out of way! Master Tabuu wants see his brother!
Kyrin- Yeesh! I see Tabuu really knows how to pick the most arrogant ones out of the bunch.
Fawful- Who loser god calling arrogant?!
Kyrin- You, pinhead. Sure, you got a piece of god technology in that stupid helmet of yours, but little good that will do against me.
Fawful- Oh yeah? How about Fawful show what new toy can do!
Then a large laser cannon was fired at Mario and Kyrin. But when the smoke cleared, Mario and Kyrin were completely unharmed. Kyrin held his mechanical arm out to stop the laser blast, but his eyes were glowing white while a white aura surrounded his body. Mario recognized this power as it felt similar to the power flowing from Tabuu's body and his followers when they tap into his power.
Kyrin- Surely my brother has warned you that defeating me would be no easy task. Observe…
Kyrin pointed his organic hand at Fawful and then flicked it like when someone pretends to fire a gun. Suddenly, Fawful was blown all the way on the other side of the mountain summit top and crashed into a large rock. When the smoke cleared, Fawful was lying on the ground and looked like he had been run over by truck at least ten times. This new headgear was just about the only thing that didn't look damaged.
Mario- …wow…
Fawful struggled to get himself back up and was appeared to have more difficulty standing up without falling to the ground again.
Fawful- (Pant)…I see Master Tabuu told truth…you really are…just as strong as Master Tabuu…
Mario- Wait! You're just as powerful…
Kyrin- We are brothers after all. And we were both trained by our father, the Lord of the Universe.
Mario- Leave to you master, Fawful, while you still have the chance. You can't even beat me by yourself when you're not wounded.
Fawful- Hehehe…who said Fawful alone?
Mario first tried to understand what Fawful meant by that, but before he could finish that thought, he noticed something coming at them from behind.
Mario- Kyrin, behind us!
Kyrin quickly created an energy barrier to block a hyper beam and another energy blast that were fired at them. Mario looked behind him and saw Poke'mon Hunter J riding on her Salamence and Infinite flying right next to J's Salamence.
Infinite- So we meet again, plumber.
Poke'mon Hunter J- We really must thank you, Mario. You've made find Kyrin so much easier for us. Even Tabuu was having trouble locating what rathole he was hiding in.
Marx's voice- And now our prize is out in the open for us to grab.
Mario looked towards where he heard the voice and saw Marx, Zero, and Vaati standing on another part of the summit.
Hades' voice- And although Kyrin is Tabuu's equal…you've proven that even the most powerful of gods can be brought to their knees if a group works together. Just like how you, Pitty Pat, and the rest of your team keep taking down Tabuu fanfiction after fanfiction.
Mario then saw Hades, the Pirate Master, and Black Doom on another part of the summit.
Sir Grodus' voice- And you're lucky Tabuu just wants us to take his brother instead of you, Mario. So we suggest taking our offer of leaving before we change our minds.
Mario then saw Sir Grodus, the Quinking, Dimentio, Lord Fredric, and Star Dream on another end of the summit. Every way Mario looked, him and Kyrin were completely surrounded by Tabuu's followers.
Fawful- Outnumbers and outmatched! What Mario do now?! HEHEHE! We have fury!
Mario- Palutena, Viridi, if Luigi and the others are still ready and waiting, it might be a good idea to bring them here now!
Kyrin- I agree…it would be rude not to invite your friends to the party…
Kyrin snapped his fingers on his organic hand. Suddenly, and ink-like substance was squirted all over the top of Shooting Star Summit, creating a smokescreen.
Lord Fredrick- Hey, what the **** is going on?! Why can't I see a thing?!
Then from the thick ink cloud, squid tentacles reached out and grabbed Dimentio by his wrists and neck.
Dimentio- What the hell?! What's going on…
Then the tentacles pulled Dimentio into the ink cloud and the sound of someone being beaten up and Dimentio screaming could be heard.
Poke'mon Hunter J- Salamence, use whirlwind to blow this stuff away!
Salamence- (Roar)
Mysterious voice- Jewel, stop that Salamence with dazzling gleam!
Mysterious Poke'mon's voice- Espeon!
Then a flash of light struck J's Salamence and knock it and her to the ground. Then Sir Grodus was knocked to the ground by what felt like Sonic's spin dash, but he thought he saw what looked like an armadillo with a face similar to Sonic's run him over from behind. Star Dream tried to use it's scanners to find out what was attacking them from the cover of the ink cloud, but his systems were suddenly hacked with a virus. Star Dream did trace the source of the virus to what looked like a weasel with a tablet computer hiding close to the top of the summit before Star Dream crashed. The Quinking tried to charge Mario and Kyrin, reguardless of the chaos happening around them, but he ran right into a magic barrier now surrounding his body. The Quinking looked down at the ground and saw what looked like Gooboo Steve drawing a circle of magic runes in the ground around him. This trapped the Quinking and make him feel weakened. Mario and Kyrin hadn't moved from that spot, but Mario did hear all the roughhousing going on around him.
Mario- Uh…Kyrin…what's going on?
Kyrin- Let's just say…I invited some friends of my own…
When the ink cloud faded, all of Tabuu's followers were lying on the ground and looking like they were all severely beaten up before a black vortex appeared to suck them all back to Subspace. But what surprised Mario the most was there was another group standing in front of him, but this group seemed more friendly.
Sonic (telepathically to Mario)- Wait a minute…is that Mighty the Armadillo?!
Ty (telepathically to Mario)- And Gooboo Steve?!
Shantae (telepathically to Mario)- The Squid Baron? I thought he left Sequin Land months ago.
Kirby (telepathically to Mario)- Is that Susie, Gooey, and Magolor?
Ash (telepathically to Mario)- And what's Richie doing there?
Link (telepathically to Mario- Why is Skull Kid with them? He usually hates to leave the forest.
Donkey Kong (telepathically to Mario)- I think I see Snide in that group.
Yoshi (telepathically to Mario)- Yoshi know doggy! He Yoshi's old friend, Poochy!
Luigi (telepathically to Mario)- And if I'm not mistaken, that's Goombario and Vivian.
Mario- Kyrin…can you explain this?
Kyrin- Truth be told, Tabuu isn't the only one who gathered followers to assist him. Helping you fight Tabuu while keeping myself hidden wasn't as easy as it sounds. So, I visited a few people who knew you and your friends and I persuaded them to help me out. In fact, one of Tabuu's followers is really working for me as a spy. Which is how I knew Tabuu setting this trap. Which is why I set up a trap of my own.
Mario- And who is this spy?
Kyrin- Sorry, but I can't say. I haven't even told my other followers who it is. But I guess I owe you and the rest of your team a big explanation, don't I?
Little did anyone know, Fawful was hiding behind a rock, listening in on the conversation.
Fawful- A spy…? That explain why Mario's keep getting upper hand! Now that Fawful realize, one follower not here to attack Mario and Kyrin…but before Fawful forget, Fawful still have final ace in hole…
Then the vacuum on Fawful's headgear acted like a mouth and spat out a small device that was no bigger than a thumbnail, which stuck to the back of Kyrin's cloak.
Fawful- Fawful might fail to beat you…but Fawful no fail to bring you…hehehe…I have fury…
Then a black vortex appeared underneath Fawful before sucking him back to Subspace.
