Mushroom Kingdom Castle Throne Room

Sparkster locks his blade with Mario's mallet. Sparkster pushes back Mario and shoots a fireball, but Mario shoots one out of his hand and they explode on impact.

Axel Gear gains the upper hand in his combat with Luigi. Luigi shoots a green fire from his right hand and hits Axel with it. Axel blocks his face with his hand, and continues to walk toward the cowering Luigi. Axel Gear raises his arms to strike Luigi, but Luigi smacks Axel in the groin with his mallet. Axel Gear falls to the floor for a moment, but gets back up groggily and gets smacked in the face by Luigi's mallet.

Sparkster runs toward Mario with his sword ready. Mario whacks Sparkster's sword out of his hands and brings back his mallet. Mario swings, but Sparkster misses it and gets on the ground. Sparkster crawls toward his fallen sword and kicks Mario in the chest when Mario attempted to hit Sparkster while he was on the ground. Sparkster reaches his sword and shoots a fire-spike at Mario. Mario dodges, and the fire-spike hits chandelier above Mario. The chandelier falls and topples Mario.

Axel Gear spits out some blood from the smack to the face. Luigi raises his arms to strike Axel in the skull, and Axel Gear stabs his sword in Luigi's testicles. Luigi screams and holds his groin. Axel Gear takes his sword and slashes at Luigi. Luigi, surprisingly after that painful stab, was able to duck and punch Axel in the gut. Axel Gear holds his stomach, but was able to cut Luigi on the arm. Luigi held his nuts, and stood up and smacked Axel Gear on the head with his mallet. Axel Gear held his head, and Luigi took Axel's sword and pierced Axel Gear in the chest with it. Axel Gear held his chest, and fell to the ground.

Sparkster looked over at Axel Gear.

"Nooo!"

Sparkster went over and pulled the sword out of Axel's chest. Luigi went over and pulled part of the chandelier off of Mario.

"Axel.."

"Ughh...Sparkster..kill him..you may have been my enemy...but this was fun..fighting on your side...when you return home..tell the people of Zephyrus...I am sorry.."

Sparkster had one tear roll down his cheek, and he put his hand on Axel Gear's head. Axel Gear closed his eyes.

Luigi put his hand on Mario's face.

"Mario."

"Luigi-a...do me one last favor.."

"What is it-a, Mario?"

"Kill..Sparkster."

Mario lowered his head and closed his eyes. Luigi looked over at Sparkster.

"You...you did-a this!"

"Yes, and you killed my friend. We are even."

"No! We aren't-a even until we're dead!"

Luigi raised his mallet.

"Alright, Luigi. Let's finish this!"

The two locked their weapons. Sparkster pushed back Luigi and sliced his arm. Luigi raised his mallet and hit Sparkster right in the gut. The two wounded warriors hit eachother once more. Sparkster stabs Luigi in the head, while Luigi was able to smash Sparkster's head on the ground. After a moment, Sparkster stood up and limped down to where Princess Sherry is locked up. He breaks off the lock and she hugs him for saving her.

"Sparkster.."

Sparkster looks her glistening eyes.

"How are you able to do it? You've saved the kingdom countless times..."

Sparkster takes a deep breath.

"I never wondered why..I always just..stood in the heart of battle. I've lost many friends..I guess I got lucky.."

Princess Sherry kisses Sparkster on the cheek. Sparkster takes Sherry in his arms, and turns on his jetpack.
