Chapter 7: The Brawlers strike back

*Sniffle* Aww… you guys… THANK YOU! Thanks SO much for constantly reading Into the Brawl! I'm forever grateful! Sadly, every good fanfiction must someday come to an end, and this one will finish up soon. I'm gonna miss your great feedback, but never fret! I will be getting an idea for a story soon. If you think of an idea involving SSBB, Final Fantasy XII, Chocobos (Also Final Fantasy), Kingdom Hearts, or, of course, META KNIGHT, please include it in your review! And who knows? Maybe your idea could wind up as my next Fanfiction! Well, on with the show!

Color started flushing over my sight again. I looked around, and recognized where I was. I was standing aboard the battle platform of the Halberd. We were already airborne in the air. I shook myself awake, and noticed that everyone was preparing themselves for the Primids. Fortunately, no Primids were in sight at the moment. "Good, you're awake." Lucario said to me.

The battle platform landed on the deck of the Halberd, and as soon as it did, Primids suddenly appeared out of thin air! We instantly darted for the Primids, and began attacking them. They tried punching back at us, but we countered their strikes with ease. I hacked through a Primid with my sword, and it vanished. Several more appeared. "There's way too many of 'em!" I yelled. And as soon as I did, the light darkened, and I heard a crash. I turned around, only to see Meta Knight glowing like the sun!

"I shall not allow my battleship to fall to the hands of you! Take this!" Meta Knight bellowed as he threw his cape around himself, and vanished! There was a flash of light, and then, all of the Primids dissolved in a burst of light! Meta Knight reappeared, and a sphere of light appeared behind him.

"The portal!" Ike exclaimed.

"See ya!" Sonic said before dashing into the light.

We walked into the light, and after a split second, we were atop a castle, with flaming cannonballs flying through the air. "Th- this is- Castle Siege!" Ike stuttered.

Primids materialized, and we commenced with the fighting. I did my Anima Missile, and cut through at least five Primids.

When they were all gone, I felt gravity pushing down on me, and next thing I knew, we were in a cavernous throne room. Primids appeared once again. "Why didn't a Portal appear?" Sonic asked.

"It's because in Castle Siege, there are three parts to it. This must be the second!" Leah said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I exclaimed.

I charged at the Primids in front of me, and did a Spin Slash, cutting down two Primids, and then a Fullmoon dive to get rid of as few more. I heard an explosion behind me, so I turned around. The remains of a Primid dissolved in midair. Andrew was pointing one of his guns at me. "Can't have you being the big hero all the time!" He said.

I nodded. Behind Andrew, I saw Leah fling her boomerang and a Primid, and it exploded. I felt Gravity pound down on me again, and then I saw that we were in a huge cave with a magma pool below. "The final area of Castle Siege." Ike said. Primids appeared again, and we began to hit them, just as they materialized.

After several Primid deaths, a smash ball appeared in the air. Ike jumped up, and slashed it in two. He began glowing, and tossed his sword into the air. Several Primids followed the blade. Ike jumped into the air, and began slashing at the Primids, his sword ablaze. "GREAT….. AETHER!" He yelled as he plummeted to the ground. The Primids were blown offstage. And we walked in.

Sorry for the short chapter. The next one is going to continue with the Primid battles. I'll try to get the chapters up really soon. Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!
