Chapter 7
VII Metal Link's Defeat! Metal Luigi, Retreats. The Plan. VII
"Stop!! Stop it!!" Metal Link shouted, as he covered his ears. He didn't want to hear the truth.
"No!" Ness shouted, he was still in pain, but managed to stand up. Ness noticed that Metal Link was getting weak.
This must be his weakness……Ness thought.
"Shut up, or you will die next." Metal Link said, getting very angry.
"I wont, and I don't care if I die!" Ness shouted.
"Then this will be easy." Metal Link said, standing up and charging towards Ness. Ness shut his eyes, getting ready for the massive pain that was coming next. But to his surprise, nothing happened.
Ness opened one eye, to see Metal Link pinned to the ground.
"Pit!!" Ness shouted with joy. "Your alive!!"
"Get off me!!" Metal Link shouted, struggling underneath Pit.
"What are you doing? Who do you think you are?" Pit asked, losing his grip just a little.
"I thought I killed you!! And I'm Metal Link and-"
"No!! you not Metal Link….your Link." Pit said, interrupting Metal Link.
"I am not!! When I was Link, nobody treated me with respect!! Nobody!! And now, being Metal is awesome, maybe even better than being normal Link!!" Metal Link shouted.
"Then I shall bring you back…..by force." Pit said.
"You cant do that, because if I killed you once, I'm sure I can do it again." Metal Link said.
"No you cant…because this time…I will kill you…I will kill Metal Link, and bring back the real Link." Pit said.
"Are you crazy?!?" Ness shouted, as he saw Pit grab his sacred bow, and brought it up, aiming for Metal Link's heart.
"If you kill Metal Link, aren't you killing Link too?!?" Ness shouted again. "You cant do th-!!"
Snake was thrown across the 'battle field' by Metal Luigi, colliding into Ness. All of Snake's weight landed on top of Ness when they hit the ground.
"Sorry Ness." Snake said, as he groaned in pain. The zombies were able to throw some punches at Snake, but Metal Luigi, was able to beat him up real good.
"Get….off me…." Ness said, as Snake was still on top of him.
"Sorry." Snake said once again, as he got off Ness.
"My arm.." Ness winced in pain as he tried to move his arm.
"Oh man, I think its broken." Snake said.
"No…it just looks like a deformed arm." Ness said, sarcastically.
"Don't get attitude, lets just wait until Link com-"
"No!!!!! Pit!!! I got to get back to him!" Ness shouted as he quickly got up, and started running back to where he was before he collided with Snake.
"Ness!!" Snake shouted, as he ran after Ness.
Kirby was still unconscious, big purple bruises covered his face. On of his ribs were severely injured. Snake took one look at Kirby, and looked away. It wasn't a pretty sight to see a beat up Kirby.
Mario winced in pain as he was thrown into a tree. Metal Luigi started walking towards Mario, taking his sweet time. It didn't bother him to see his brother almost get beaten up to death. His death didn't really bother him either. Not right now that is.
"Give up?" Metal Luigi asked, bending down to hear his answer. "I didn't hear you. Speak louder!" Metal Luigi shouted, getting annoyed.
Mario was in so much pain, he just felt like laying there and dieing. But he knew he couldn't do that. And he wasn't going to. He heard Metal Luigi's question, but he said no the first time. Too low enough for him to hear.
"I said no!!" Mario shouted, as he got enough strength, and punched Metal Luigi.
"You think you can punch your own brother Mario?" Metal Luigi asked, rubbing his cheek.
"You think you can kill your brother?!? The one who helped you through out your life?!?" Mario shouted, no he was a mean mad Mario.
"You didn't-"
"I sure did Luigi!! I actually talked to you after the way you treated me!" Mario shouted, now he was standing up and walking towards Metal Luigi. Metal Luigi toke steps back, as Mario took steps forward.
"You treated me like dirt!! You treated me as if I wasn't even your brother!!"
"No, I didn't!!" Metal Luigi shouted in his defense, even though it was the truth.
"yes you did!! I could have just left you with that guy so that you could die!!" Mario shouted. Mario stopped, as he fell to the floor. How could he think about letting his brother die? Mario wasn't like that, he could never.
Even though his brother was trying to kill him, he wasn't going to die without succeeding in this quest. Half of it was completed. They already found Luigi, but look at how they found him. Like….this. Metal, evil, and down right mean. Mario couldn't even look at him. For this was not his brother, this was someone who took control over his brother.
He needed to save him from this evil spell. And he needed to do it quick. But how? Mario doesn't know his weakness. Not now, that is.
Ness kept running, not stopping until he reached Pit and…Metal Link.
"Ness!! Ness!!" Snake shouted, though it sounded muffled. For Ness was running really fast. His arm hurt and ached in pain, but that wasn't going to stop him. He kept running, and he finally stopped. There before him, he saw Pit and Metal Link, fighting.
"Pit!!" Ness shouted.
"You cant defeat me Pit!" Metal Link shouted.
"I sure can!" Pit shouted back.
"Pit!!" Ness shouted. Pit heard his name being called. He got ditracted by it, and turned his head to see who called him. He saw Ness, and a green light coming from his body. It looked like a ball of green lighting.
"I got you now, Pit!" Metal Link shouted, as he charged at Pit. His arrow being aimed at him. Metal Link shot his arrow. Pit barley took notice of the arrow when he saw Ness point. Pit looked at Metal Link, just in time to dodge the incoming arrow. The green light traveled towards Metal Link.
"What is this?!?" Metal Link shouted in shock and disgust when the green light touched him. The Metal slowly started cracking, until it exploded entirely off of Link. Metal Link, was now defeated. Link fainted, as he fell to the dirt ground. (if some of you are confused, about the green light that I am talking about. Go to the video of when Lucas and Ness met. When he makes Porky explode? Yeah that one. that's the green light I am talking about. Though I forgot what it was called…)
"Link!" Pit shouted, as he ran towards the uncurious Link.
Metal Luigi saw Mario fall to his knees. He thought smart, and decided to take this time to beat Mario up until he was unconscious. After that, him and Metal Link could just finally get out of here. With Mario of course.
"I'm not sure I heard you right…..brother." Metal Luigi said, though his voice was deep and evil when he said brother. Metal Luigi quickly ran, and punched, kicked, and did a lot of painful blows to Mario. Metal Luigi finally stopped, when he saw that Mario was already unconscious.
"Your way too easy to defeat." Metal Luigi said. He quickly picked up Mario, and started heading towards Metal Link. Metal Luigi saw Ness, and Pit.
"Pit?!?" Metal Luigi shouted in shock, dropping Mario in the process.
"Is-is-is t-th-that L-Luigi?!?" Ness shouted, stuttering from disbelief at Luigi.
"Yes its me! Metal Luigi!" Metal Luigi said. "What is Pit doing to Metal Link?!?"
"Oh, he isn't Metal Link anymore. He is Link." Pit said, as he had Link over his shoulder.
"What?!??!?!?!?" Metal Luigi shouted. He was angry, mad, annoyed….and furious!!
"How could you have defeated Metal Link?!?!?!? Grrrrrr!!!!!!!! Your going to die!!" Metal Luigi shouted, as he ran towards Pit. Pit couldn't really do anything since Link was over his shoulder.
Metal Luigi had Mario over his shoulder as well, put was still able to run. Pit saw as Metal Luigi put his hand in his pocket, trying to look for something.
What is he looking for? Pit thought.
Metal Luigi was now beside Pit's shoulder. He quickly grabbed Link, and put him over his unoccupied shoulder.
"Hey! He is taking Link!" Ness shouted. Pit tried to grab Link, but Metal Luigi was just a little bit faster than him.
"Butter luck next time!" Metal Luigi shouted, as the ship came. Metal Luigi jumped up into the ship, as it sped away.
"He took Link again!!" Ness shouted.
"We got to get Link back you guys!!" Pit said. "and Mario too!!"
"He took Mario? Oh, yeah." Ness said, as he remembered seeing Mario on his shoulder.
"Ness!!" Snake shouted, as he finally caught up to him. He stopped panting for air.
"Snake!! We got Link back then Metal Luigi came then we were panicking then he had Mario who was uncurious and beat up then he cam-"
"Slow down Ness." Snake said, as he heard Ness rambiling on and on, not pausing at all.
"Sorry. We need to help get Mario and Link back!" Ness said.
"I have seen what Wario does to them.." Pit said, trailing on. He was thinking of something.
"Wario?" Ness, and Snake said, confused.
"Ah, yes! Wario, he is the evil guy. He is the one who made Link and Luigi Metals." Pit said.
"Do you think he was the one who had kidnapped Kirby?" Ness asked.
"Kirby….Kirby!" Snake shouted, remembering the unconscious Kirby in the forest.
Snake quickly got up from the rock, and started running towards Kirby. Pit and Ness followed.
"Where are you going?!" Ness shouted after Snake. Snake didn't answer, he just kept running.
"Snake!!" Ness shouted again.
Snake finally stopped running, when he saw the pink ball lying on the ground. Ness was still running after him, until he too, saw the pink ball on the ground. Ness was mentally slapping himself for not remembering how badly beaten Kirby was.
"Kirby…" Pit said, his words trailing off when he saw Kirby. "What happened here?"
"Metal Link, that's what." Ness said. He was still a bit mad by Metal Link, but it was going away when he remembered that he was just under some evil spell.
"Check his pulse." Pit said. Snake knelt down, grabbing Kirby's little chubby arm. He put two fingers around his wrist.
"He is just unconscious." Snake said, as he sighed in relief.
"Thank God." Ness said, as he too sighed in relief.
"Guys, we got bigger problems." Pit said, as Snake and Ness turned to look at him. They gestured him to keep going on.
"When I went to go get Link back, I saw the inside of the ship." Pit said.
"Naw…" Ness said sarcastically. Pit just gave him glare, then he continued.
"Well, inside, it, it, it was horrible. So dark. Inside the rooms, was probably the only source of light. The lights in the hall, they were red. You could hardly see were you were going. They weren't that bright, and like I said, it was dark.
"I saw so many signs with arrows pointing in a certain direction. I didn't really pay attention to what the signs said, I just continued to look for Link. But, before I heard Link scream, one sign caught my attention. I read it, and, it said Mr.. The rest was just a blurr, as I ran after Link's scream." Pit said.
"Well, I don't really find that as a problem there Pit." Snake said.
"You didn't let me finish." Pit said.
"Sorry, you just took a long pause." Snake said.
"I saw what Wario did to Link. He touched him and then he turned into metal. But the question is….what made him turn into one?" Pit said. Pit never saw exactly how Link became like that.
"Well, if he could do it to Link, then he can do it to Mario." Snake said.
"That's right." Pit said, agreeing with Snake.
"How do we get into the ship though? You can get in just by flying, but we cant fly." Snake said.
"That's right." Pit repeated.
"And those zombies are standing in our way." Snake added.
"That's ri- what? We can just beat them." Pit said.
"No, we cant. I couldn't even beat the zombies that were surronding me. They beat me up good." Snake said, pointing to all the scratches and bruises around his body.
"But….arent they the easiest obstacle we have come across?" Pit asked, confused.
"Yeah, that what I thought too. But, turns out, they got some skills." Snake said.
"Then, we have more problems." Pit said.
"We need to come up with a plan…a plan that wont fail.." snake said.
"A plan that will work…" Pit finished.
"Yeah." snake agreed.
"Lets start with how we are going to make it to the ship." Pit said.
"No, we shouldn't start there. We should start with how we are actually going to make it to the ship." Snake said.
"What?" Pit asked, confused.
"What if we run into monsters, or zombies." Snake said.
"Or worse, The Metals." Ness added, finally talking. The look on his face showed complete fear.
"The Metals? There is more than one?" Snake asked.
"Well, if Wario could make Link into metal, don't you think he could do it to everyone?" Pit said.
"Your right. Well, we cant let the monsters, zombies, or The Metals get in our way." Snake said.
"Sorry to burst your bubble Snake, but we are no match to The Metals." Ness said.
"Yes we are, we are way tougher then they are." Snake said. Ness and Pit each exchanged glances, before bursting out laughing. It hurt Ness, since he was still in a bit of pain.
"What? What did I say?!" Snake shouted, getting irritated in Pit and Ness's laughing.
"Snake, haha, we are not tougher than they are. Did you see Metal Luigi? He took out Mario and Mario looked like he was already dead." Ness said.
"Well, at least I am thinking positive here!" Snake said.
"Calm down Snake. Ness is right. But we got to have faith in ourselves." Pit said.
"Look at what Metal Link did to Kirby!" Ness said, pointing to the still unconscious Kirby.
"That's because he was weak." Snake said. Ness immediately grabbed Snake by the collar, gripping it really tight. Snake was surprised by how strong Ness's grip was.
"He. Was. Not. Weak." Ness said, through gritted teeth.
"Okay, Ness….Oxygen!" Snake said, as Ness's grip was also cocking him. Ness let him go, rudely. Snake hit his arm on the side of a rock.
"Ow! Jeez Ness! What the heck is your problem?!" Snake shouted, as he brushed some dirt off of him.
"You! Its been you all this time! You think you are better than anyone else here!" Ness yelled.
Snake charged for Ness, but Pit got in between the two.
"Guys, guys! Stop!" Pit shouted, since Snake and Ness were shouting as well.
"No!" Ness shouted, trying to punch Snake.
"This little sucker thinks he is tough! Bring it on shorty!!" Snake shouted in Pit's ear.
"That was my ear!!" Pit shouted at Snake, at the same time letting go of Ness. Ness took this chance to punch Snake.
"Ness!!" Kirby shouted. Ness and Snake suddenly stopped punching and kicking. They looked at Kirby, who was barley able to stand up.
"Kirby?.." Ness asked, as if he was seeing a ghost.
"Why are you guys fighting?" Kirby asked, groaning in pain as he took steps. Pit helped Kirby, by letting him sit on a nearby rock.
"Are you okay Kirby?" Pit asked, as he knelt down in front of Kirby.
"I think so…oww.." Kirby said in pain.
"Let go of me shorty!" Snake shouted at Ness as Ness still had Snake in a head lock.
"Only because you said please." Ness said sarcastically.
"You think you're a smart ass huh?" Snake said, as he rubbed his neck.
"Yeah." Ness said, walking away towards Kirby and Pit. Snake rolled his eyes, as he followed.
"Hey Kirby, you okay?" Ness asked, as he took a seat next Kirby.
"Yeah." Kirby said, as he did a weak smile. Ness managed to smile back.
"Okay Kirby, you need to tell us what you saw in the ship." Snake said, getting straight to business.
"Calm down Snake, Kirby is obviously not in the mood to talk to you." Ness said, as he gave Snake a dirty look. Snake happily returned it. Pit tried to stay calm, as the took gave each other death glares.
Hopefully they didn't feel is way when me and Link fought……Pit thought. Pit took a loud sigh, as he turned to focus on Kirby.
"Kirby, can you tell us what you saw in the ship?" Pit asked, more calm than Snake did. Kirby nodded slowly, as he told them what he saw.
"Wario.." Pit said.
"Who?" Kirby asked.
"Wario was the guy you saw." Pit said. Kirby just nodded, he was still to weak.
"Metal Link sure did take a beating on you." Snake said, as he looked at Kirby.
"Me-Metal L-Link.." Kirby stuttered. Kirby now, was very fearful of Metal Link, and possibly, Link as well.
"Its okay Kirby. Metal Link isn't coming back." Pit said.
"You don't know that!" Kirby said, fear through out his whole voice.
"Kirby…you have nothing to fear." Pit said, comforting Kirby.
"No!" Kirby shouted, as he pushed Pit away from him. "Look at me!! Look at me…" Kirby said, as he put his head in his little hands. He started crying. He didn't want to come across Metal Link, or Link ever again.
"Kirby, its okay." Ness said, as he took his turn to comfort Kirby. But he got a shove from Kirby as well.
"Well, he is scarred for life. Just let him be, give him room." Snake said. Pit and Ness nodded, as they went away from Kirby.
"Okay, lets start this plan. And don't fight, please." Pit warned, as they all sat in a circle. Ness got out his map, and flattened it so that it sat in the middle.
"So we are here, the ship went this way. So that means that it is headed this way." Pit said, as he drew a line with a red marker.
"Okay guys, here is the plan." Pit said, as he grabbed his sacred bow, and set it on top of the map.
Poor Kirby. Well he get over his 'phobia' of The Metals, or will he really be scarred for life? Also, what is Pit's plan? What is going to happen to Mario and Link? Tension rises between Ness and Snake, will this get in the way of the plan? Find out in chapter 8!!
