Super Smash Bros Brawl Ascension
Chapter 6: The Gathering
Bowser unleashed a vicious roar as he knocked Samus across the ground. Pikachu thunder bolted Bowser, angry that he laid his claw on his master.
"Bowser, what-a are you-a doing? I'm-a right here!" Mario called as he jumped off Epona, standing in front of Samus. Samus was clutching her injured arm. The fierce monster launched himself at Mario, knocking him further away from Samus.
"Pika!" Pikachu growled as he jumped on Bowser's neck, biting him. Bowser simply laughed as he threw the pokemon down with a harsh grab.
"Pikachu, no!" Samus called as she watched the pokemon's abuse. Bowser walked to the struggling bounty hunter, picking her up and placing her on top of his shoulder.
"Arg! Put me down!" Samus yelled as she took out her laser gun and shot at Bowser's neck.
Bowser became paralyzed, giving Samus the advantage to jump off Bowser's shoulder. Samus ran to Pikachu, who was lying on the ground.
"Pika..." Pikachu managed to say as he gazed into Samus' eyes.
"Shh, save your strength," Samus replied as she closed his eyes. Samus then heard Bowser's outrageous roar again.
Samus rose to her feet, prepared to defend the only thing that mattered to her.
"Come and get some..."
With Link and Zelda
Zelda was studying Link's body movements, the way he walked, the way he had his head postition, the way his eyes looked. As they were going deeper into the forest, Zelda spoke up.
"Link, I'm so sorry about Epona being stolen. I feel awful... I was trying to find some directions and by that, your horse got stolen..." Zelda confessed.
"You're not at blame, princess... At least I got you away from the crazy, old, psycho..." Link replied as he looked down. He then suddenly felt a gentle but firm grasp on his hand. Link looked up into Zelda's crystal-blue eyes.
"Link, you've made a promise to me. Now, it's my turn. I promise to get Epona back for you. I will find her." Zelda vowed. Link blushed and smiled as he dropped whatever he was holding and embraced Zelda.
Yoshi smiled at their display of affection. Then, Yoshi heard something in the distance.
With Samus and Bowser
Samus could feel her heart pound as she battled with Bowser.
"Why am I so scared? I've never felt this vulnerable and I've battled way more dangerous space pirates than this thing before!" Samus thought as she used her leg to kick Bowser in the nose.
Bowser, now filled with frustration and anger, launched himself at Samus, grabbing her. He jumped high into the air, then slammed her right back into the ground. Samus moaned in pain.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried.
"Where is your affiliate, Mario, now?" Bowser grinned.
"Mario!" Samus weakly cried out, but no response came from the miget-plumber.
Bowser took out his Transporting Skate, a device that allowed him to transport only to Dark Link's lair. "My master will be pleased to have you as on his side!" Bowser said.
"Pika(No!)" Pikachu yelled as he ran to Samus, knocking her out of the boundary that the Transporting Skate had created.
Within seconds, Bowser slong with the pokemon... were gone.
"N-no..." Samus started.
. . .
"No!" Samus yelled, tears pouring down her cheeks. Overwhelmed with grief and frustration, Samus took out her laser gun and begun shooting at random trees, bushes, and birds. She then began to use her plasma whip to cut down trees.
"I failed! How could I lose the one person that meant everything to me?!" Samus thought as she kicked and hit the ground.
Mario, now recovered from being thrown across the floor, watched Samus' tantrum in distraught.
"S-samus..." Mario said but the girl ignored him as she continued to grieve for her pokemon.
As Samus outrage began to intestify, Epona became scared.
The horse jumped and galloped, making horrid cries.
"Wait! Calm-a down!" Mario pleaded as he tried to grab the horse's head. Suddenly, the horse collasped to the ground.
Samus had paralyzed the horse, tears running down her face.
. . .
"Hey!" a voice shouted. They saw a boy dressed in green with elf ears stand quite a distance from them.
The boy held up a sword, anger in his eyes.
"That's my horse!" the boy challenged.
"Announce your name, coward." Samus chuckled as she wiped her tears, assuming the elf had no idea who she was.
"Link..."
