Chapter 6: Monsters
Roy and Bowser stared at Zelda and Kirby. "Bowser I will be unable to strike Zelda." Roy quickly said. Bowser was in shock.
"But I can't hit a woman either!" Bowser cried. "Its against my standards... sure I kidnap them but I never hurt them!"
Zelda had transformed into Sheik and attacked both Bowser and Roy with needles. They wailed out in pain. Kirby also transformed into fire Kirby guaranteeing that both Bowser's and Roy's attacks would only do half damage.
"How can we fight her?" Bowser thought out loud.
"Well maybe if we think of Zelda as something else." Roy suggested.
"Like what?" asked Bowser.
"Well maybe if we think of her as being controlled by some evil person and forcing us to fight to the death we might be able to hit her." Roy replied.
"Looking at it that way…" Bowser paused and glared at Roy. "It's the exact same situation that we are in and it isn't helping!"
"But looking at it that way we are at least not fighting Zelda." Replied Roy. "Just a puppet."
They dodged several needles thrown at them, and a giant fireball rushed towards Bowser who withdrew into his shell. Kirby rushed up to the withdrawn Bowser and slammed him with his mallet.
Roy wasn't doing much better he blocked Sheik's needles and any time he actually ready to attack Sheik would transform back into Zelda.
"I have to remember what I'm fighting." Roy said to himself. He suddenly closed his eyes and ran forwards towards Sheik. 'I will fight using my instinct!' Sheik found that Roy's attacks were rather large and easy to avoid. However a few attacks had gotten in. Sheik rolled out of the way and threw her chain whip at Roy. It wrapped around his sword and Sheik pulled it away.
Roy opened his eyes and dashed for his sword that was on the ground. However Sheik had anticipated this and quickly threw needles at Roy making him fall down to the ground. The next thing Roy knew was that Sheik was above him with several needles at his neck. "Fight like you mean it or you're dead!" Her voice emotionlessly responded. Roy reached out for his sword and swung it so that Sheik would jump away. Roy realized that despite their strength it only masked a vital weakness of them. They only attacked, dodged and blocked. This was done in such a way that it would have been hard to spot that this was really the only things that they did. They couldn't come up with advance strategies. And if Roy's guess was correct they would quickly fall into traps.
Roy quickly grabbed several objects on his belt and quickly threw them to the ground and across the room in quickly but carefully selected locations after a second went by they began to glow with a green light. Purposely Roy let down his guard. Sheik naturally charged towards him, however she stepped on a motion sensor bomb and it blew up. Sheik went flying backwards. The blast had been so quick that she was unable to get out of the way or guard. Roy grabbed several of the needles that had been thrown in his back and threw it at motion sensor bomb that Sheik had landed near. This continued for a few minutes until all of the motion sensor bombs were gone. Roy then ran up towards Sheik and placed a final motion sensor bomb on her. Sheik also placed a motion sensor bomb on Roy.
"If either of us move we are dead." Sheik replied indifferent about the situation. "Or at least that would be the case if I couldn't teleport away. Both bombs will detonate, I will be unharmed and you will be near death."
"Sounds fun." Roy laughed. "But I know something you don't! All of the motion sensor bombs in this room haven't been detonated. If you teleport to the wrong place you will end up the same as me."
"Your bluffing." Sheik replied.
"Maybe." with that Roy tapped his motion sensor bomb. Both of them exploded. Both Roy and Sheik went flying back. Needless to say they were in pain. In Roy's hand was a small octagon shaped item. It was a spare reflector that Dr. Mario had made based off of the item that both Fox and Falco had. Although the reflector had absorbed most of the blast it still hurt. Sheik on the other hand was unconscious on the ground. The blast had destroyed most of her costume and she had begun to revert back to Zelda.
Bowser and Kirby on the other hand were clashing in a flame battle. Both of them breathing fire with neither one of them showing any signs of stopping. 'This is stupid.' Bowser thought as he parried around Kirby and slashed him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Roy's attack with the motion sensor bomb. Somewhere deep down in his cold heart he felt concerned about them. But the fact that Kirby was trying to eat him was a bit distracting.
Bowser jumped into the air and began to spin around in a circle while at the same time breathing out fire creating a violent tornado of flames. He also reached into his shell where he had equipped himself with various items. He took them out and threw a motion sensor bomb at Kirby. When it landed on Kirby it immediately exploded sending the puffball flying back.
The Melee Master suddenly appeared in the room and began to heal them and absorb the virus. Everyone else had finished their fight and were now in this room. "We only have 11 more to go!" Marth said happily. They nodded each ready to set off.
Kai appeared in front of them. "You're doing this a lot faster than I expected." Kai laughed.
"Well it might of taken a bit longer if we just didn't have 4 simultaneous battles." Marth pointed out.
"It might of, but I wanted to mix things up a bit."
"Kai!" Marth shouted to the kid. "What did you mean when you said we were all monsters?"
Kai just stared at them. "After I was created," he muttered. "My father Dr. Mario, the first thing he did was see me as a monster and wished nothing more to kill me. So he imprisoned me and began to create a so called cure to rid himself of me!" Marth stepped forwards in shock. "I can never forgive him!"
"Please stop this madness!" The Melee Master said. "We can cure you of the virus!"
"You only wish to see me dead!" Kai shouted outraged. "You can't handle a superior being! You're afraid of my existence!"
Marth turned to The Melee Master. "Is there someway to cure him of his viral state?" He asked.
The Melee Master however just looked forward and responded "I doubt that he can be cured the same way the others were. Even if I used the N-Sword I don't know what would happen."
Marth faced Kai and began to walk forwards. "Please Kai if you end this madness we can talk to Dr. Mario and convince him to stop creating the cure."
"You would forgive me that easily?" He asked.
"It will all be in the past." Marth said placing his sword on the ground and continuing to walk forwards. Kai then began to walk towards Marth.
"You're too naive!" Kai responded the next thing Marth knew was that he was pierced in the chest right around his heart. "Like some corny dialogue would sway me! Like I would trust you!" With that Kai disappeared.
To be continued...
Uh... Zelda's and Kirby's theme is I guess they can both transform. Zelda into Sheik, and Kirby into any of his forms.
The whole no strategy thing is basically from my experience with CPUs in Melee. Basically they are only aggressive. And they walk towards you right in to the mines...
