Dark Luigi:"So, you figured it out. Indeed, the Black Pendant around my neck did allow me to infiltrate that weak spirited fool's mind, body, and soul. Hahahahahaha! Go ahead, Bowser, hit me. I know your weakness; Luigi may have been able to hide the fact that you had the Safety Ring from me, but he couldn't hide your weak point! No matter how angry you get at your friends, you can never bring yourself to physically harm them. [Mocking] You won't hurt me, I'm Luigi!" To Dark Luigi's immense surprise, he saw Bowser's left fist clinch! Bowser:"YOU ARE NOT LUIGI!" Between each word, Bowser slammed Dark Luigi with alternating fists; upon saying his friend's name, Bowser cold-clocked Dark Luigi, sending him sailing across the room.
Dark Luigi struggled to get to his feet. Bowser, eyes ablaze, stomped towards Dark Luigi. Bowser:"The Luigi I know would not kill his friends. The Luigi I know would not try to conquer the world. But most of all, the Luigi I know would never turn his wife, or his friends' wives, into slaves!" Bowser was upon the weakened Dark Luigi, and slammed him into stone floor of the Keep. This was followed by an even more brutal slam into the wall. Bowser then proceeded to throw Dark Luigi in Fox's direction, who had long since defeated the last of the guards. When Dark Luigi got to his feet, Fox used his Beam Sword and cut the straps of Dark Luigi's armor and roundhoused him in the face.
After this series of attacks, Dark Luigi stood up and started to laugh evilly! Dark Luigi:"Go ahead you two, keep pounding away at me; you're only harming Luigi! You'll never be able to harm the real me until you can force me out!" Suddenly, four arrows hit Dark Luigi's unprotected chest! Out of each arrow, four orbs of light appeared and plunged themselves into Dark Luigi's body. Dark Luigi:"Guuhhh! Gwaaaaaa!" The flames that were in Bowser's eyes left as he turned to look on the balcony; on the balcony stood Link! In the other direction, a gold flash filled the room and Luigi's body slumped to the floor; this Luigi was in his original clothing, but he still had the Light Arrows sticking out of his body!
A few yards away, the King of Evil himself stood. Ganondorf:"Curse you, Link! How did your soul escape from those Limbo Canisters!" Suddenly, a small explosion hit Ganondorf's chest and sent him flying! PG entered the room, with their Frinesi still smoking. Ganondorf rose slowly and glared over at Puppet/Gatorous. Ganondorf:"You abomination against nature! I killed you first thing after Mario! How are you alive?" PG:"News flash, Scumbag! I'm immortal!" PG fired again and another explosive shell hit Ganondorf in the chest. PG:"Sure, you may be able to kill me, but I'll just come back in ten days time! My soul freed itself from your Canisters 10 days after my death, just like it should have!" Ganondorf:"Looks like we're in the same boat; only the Master Sword can defeat me!"
Link leaped down from the balcony and aimed another Light Arrow at Ganondorf. Link:"I can't believe I trusted you." Ganondorf:"You didn't actually think that our races1 three years ago meant anything, did you? It took everything in me not to hurl you into oblivion within the Shadow Temple. All those races did was gain your trust. Before I appeared before you in Hyrule, I went through the Pendent around his [points to Luigi] neck! Once I knew I could, all I had to do was wait until that moron grabbed the Pendent and allowed me to possess him! Everything went exactly to plan..." Link had heard enough and fired his Light Arrow, hitting Ganondorf straight between the eyes!
While Ganondorf was stunned, Bowser rushed over to Luigi and used his Blood Trick, which completely healed him. Immediately afterwards, Bowser ripped the Black Pendent off of Luigi's neck. Ganondorf recovered, and tried to possess Bowser! However, Bowser's Holy Ring protected him from Ganondorf's Dark Magic! Bowser chucked the Pendent out of a window, sending it plummeting to the lava below. Once it hit the molten stream, Ganondorf started to groan with agony and everybody watched as Ganondorf's gauntlets started glowing orange! After a few seconds, the gauntlets disintegrated!
Ganondorf:"Curse you all! You've destroyed by last way out of the Sacred Realm!" Ganondorf started to float in the air and raised his hands above his head. A huge ball of Dark Magic with tremendous power began to form in his hands! Suddenly, however, he was struck by a beam of yellow, causing him to fall to his knees! The others turned to see Zelda! Zelda:"Hurry! I can only hold him for a short time!" Acting quickly, PG fired once more, while Fox and Bowser used Hyper Laser and Super Nova Blast respectively. As these blasts surged forward, Link followed. The concussion of the blasts severely weakened Ganondorf. His last sight was Link leaping at him with the Master Sword. Link delivered the final blow and suddenly, hundreds of shards of light started to emanate from Ganondorf's body!
Link knew what to do next; he hurled the Ocarina of Time at Zelda. She caught it and immediately played the Song of Time. A blue circle, with the Triforce Symbol in the middle of it, appeared below Ganondorf and encased him. It began to rise from the floor; the more it rose the more of Ganondorf that got erased! Ganondorf:"Curse you, Zelda! Curse you, Link! CURSE YOU ALL!" Those were the last words that any of them ever heard from Ganondorf, the King of Evil!
Finally, with the evil threat of Ganondorf eliminated, Link and Zelda were able to embrace one another. Link:"How did you know that the fiend behind all this was Ganondorf?" Zelda:"I first suspected it was Ganondorf when he was torturing all of us; the only job that Ganondorf was good at was being a slave driver. Whenever we fail to do a task to his exact commands, he'd have his soldiers pin us all down and beat the lot of us fiercely. However, when he would hit me, he seemed to take extra, sadistic pleasure out of it. Then, there was order of the murders; sure, he took Mario out first to make Luigi look guilty. That was, I suppose, followed by Puppet/Gatorous. Most likely, because he witnessed the terrible event of Mario's `death'. The very next victim was Link! After the original three of you left Mushroom Kingdom Palace, I put two and two together and, following my `feminine intuition' I summoned Epona and rode for the Keep. When I arrived, I simply used experience; Ganondorf was a insatiable egomaniac. If he was on the throne, he would stay on the throne. So, I ran straight for the Throne Room, arriving just in time to stun Ganondorf. Now that he is defeated, peace can return to our world."
Fox:"Yeah, we killed the maniac, but what about all the damage? Everybody else in the world thinks that Luigi did it!" PG:"Don't you worry about that. I've got sort of a `search and rescue' mission going." Bowser:"What do you mean?" PG:"I sent the other revived Bowser Clan members to search for the missing Star Pieces! So, we'll be able to fix this very soon!" Almost immediately after PG said this, Mario walked into the room, accompanied by the other Bowser Clan wives. Even better than seeing them all alright, they had the 1st Blue Star Piece in their possession!
Upon seeing each other, Fox and Krystal embraced with joy. Daisy walked over to Luigi, who was still unconscious. As he slowly regained consciousness, he saw Daisy and placed his arms in front of himself, as though he was going to block an attack! Daisy:"Relax, Baby." She said it as calmly and gently as ever, and removed Luigi's arms from his face. Following this, she kissed him right on the lips. As the others watched this joyous moment, they heard from behind them, "Doh! It's a `Kodak Moment'!" They all turned to see Banjo-Kazooie enter the room, with the Green Star Piece in tow. B-K:"We found it in the Forest Maze." Bowser hugged the bear and bird duo, welcoming them back to world of the living.
Off in the distance, the group could hear the sound of a rocket engine getting closer and closer. A few moments later, the observed rocket suddenly burst through a window, holding a figure which was holding the Orange Star Piece! Earthworm Jim:"Here, guys! Let's make this world groovy again!" PG:"Did you find that in the Moleville Mines?" Jim:"Sort of. The guy that runs the trolley found it in the mines and gave it to me, free of charge!" Once the third Piece was found, the Stars started to glow and react with one another, creating a white light.
A few moments later, Mewtwo teleported into the room, holding the Purple Star Piece. Mewtwo:"I discovered this one on Star Hill." PG:"I'm beginning to see a pattern here..." Mario:"You're right, PG! They've all dropped into the same places as before!" Bowser:"Well, except for one. Apparently, one of the Pieces dropped next to the Wario Brothers' mansion. Ganondorf was complaining that the Wario Brothers had acquired a Star Piece." With the addition of the fourth Piece, the light that emanated from the Stars intensified.
A few minutes later, Kirby floated through the window that Jim busted with his rocket. When he landed, Kirby spit out the 2nd Blue Star Piece. I had to do a little wheelin' and dealin' with old Johnathan Jones in the Sunken Ship to get this." With the addition of the fifth Piece, the bright white glow of the Star Pieces changed to a golden color. About fifteen minutes later, Samas appeared in the Throne Room. Her armor was glowing red hot, but she was holding the Red Star Piece. Samas:"I don't know how that Hinoppo guy can stand living the Barrel Volcano. At least your guys took care of the Czar Dragon2 already; I found the Star without much trouble at all." With this addition, the golden light became almost unbearably intense.
Shortly after Samas arrived, Fox received a call on his communicator, which he could use to talk to other Star Fox members. Fox:"Hello?" Falco:"Hey, Fox! It's good to know that everybody else is alright. Listen, I found the Yellow Star Piece, but there's a slight snag..." Fox:"Let me guess, the Wario Brothers have it?" Falco:"Yeah, and they want money." Fox:"Here, maybe Bowser better talk to them..." Bowser:"Alright, put 'em on..."
Shortly afterwards, Falco landed his ARWING in front of the Keep. Everybody was outside to greet him when he got out of his ship. Falco:"So, what did you give them for the Star Piece?" Bowser:"Nothing." Falco:"Then, how come they let me leave with this?" Falco reached into his ARWING's storage compartment and presented the final Yellow Star Piece to Bowser. Bowser:"I just let them keep what money they had; I gave them immunity to taxes for life, since they still live within the Koopa Kingdom."
PG:"Yeah, I haven't been around much lately. Why did you kick them out of the Bowser Clan and the Keep in the first place?" Bowser:"They were embezzling government funds." PG:"Technically, that gets the death penalty." Bowser:"I'm aware of that. But, they're still my friends, so I couldn't have them killed." Falco placed the seventh Star in with the rest of them and started a chain reaction! The glowing light became a constant gold flash, which suddenly exploded, filling the area with a gold light. When this light was finished, the Star Pieces were gone!
Everybody looked up into the sky to see a huge star replace what was once empty space. As they were looking up, a tiny star flew down out of the sky and appeared before them. The star was Geno3, in his natural form. Geno:"Thank you for once again repairing the Star Road once again. When Dark Luigi destroyed it, I started looking all over the world for them. I never expected them to be in the exact same places as they were before, but that's beside the point; make a wish, and I'll make absolutely certain that it is granted!" Everybody present:"We wish for everything to return to as it was before this terrible event!"
The sky that was once purplish-red from Ganondorf's poisonous Dark Magic, suddenly changed back to its normal blue color. Immediately following that, a tremendous white flash blinded everyone. When they opened their eyes, they were all back inside the Keep! Before everybody's eyes, the scars from Ganondorf's whipping, which spread all across all the wives' backs, were completely healed and their clothes repaired! Geno:"Though everyone involved will remember those events, it's best if the general population forgets them; I've taken the liberty of erasing all of their memories of these past events! Farewell, everyone!" With that, Geno disappeared.
Fox eyed the deluxe digital clock hanging from the wall. It read:"6:00 AM, 10/21/2006." Fox:"Guys, look! The clock reads the date 10 days ago! Geno must've warped us back in time before this whole thing even happened!" Bowser looked down at his hand, and instead of seeing a silver ring fused to his flesh, he saw a golden one! Bowser:"Not entirely. Geno allowed me to keep the Holy Ring, and probably left the Black Pendant incinerated in the lava pools as well." Luigi immediately ran to his room and rummaged through his nightstand, with meticulous care. What he found, as he'd hoped, was that the Black Pendant wasn't in his nightstand!
Luigi ran back downstairs to the Main Hall and reported his finding to everybody. Daisy:"I'm glad that dreadful experience is done with. But, still, do you think we'll ever meet that accursed man again?" Zelda:"I can't say. Ganondorf has escaped from the Sacred Realm before, and he does still have the Power Segment of the Triforce; only time will tell." Bowser:"But if that lowlife ever shows his face again, we'll be down on him like a mountain of bricks! Oh, and on that note, it gives me great pleasure to induct my adoptive son(s), Puppet/Gatorous, into the Clan. PG's soldier/secret service experience will be of immense aid to us; besides, we need to replace the Wario Brothers. All of those in favor..."
All the other Bowser Clan members raised their hands very slowly. Fox:"I know that the two of us haven't always gotten along, but heck, with you on the Clan there'll never be a dull moment!" PG:"Nice to know you feel that way, because all of you guys would be seeing a lot of me soon anyway; that scumbag of a brother of mine is causing havoc again." B-K:"Come on! Do we have to talk about this now! We're starvin'!" Everybody laughed and headed for the kitchen. At breakfast, everyone discussed the events in great detail, ending a frightening and difficult mission, in the most perfect way possible!
Mission Accomplished!
