AN: Oh sweet lord I'm almost done...

Chapter 8: The Final Showdown?

"So you're the weakness aren't you, Crazy faker!" Shadow said. "Yes I am. But I am Crazy's shadow, which you've also got right; but I am immortal!" Crazy boasted. "I've seen this before, you don't have long to live." Luigi pointed out. Then the Crazy faker started melting slowly. "Already?" he groaned. Aww, I really wanted to fight him and now he's melting like the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.

"Oh, what a world!" Crazy Faker sobbed. His now oozy hand was a puddle at the bottom but some of his hand was still visible. He was trying to reach out to me. Right about then there was nothing left of him but a puddle. The Void started clearing up! The darkness was slowly disappearing and we could see the landscape. Crazy's shadow was enough to restore everything. As the final speck of darkness cleared we cheered, it was all over! Luigi and I hugged each other with relief.

EPILOGUE Every one of us stood at the cliff looking out at the Isle of the Ancients. We all knew we had evolved so much that this world would disappear and we would join with our real counterparts. It's amazing such would happen although they were controlling us the whole time. But even though there was great sadness, at least the real us would remember all of OUR adventures just as much and theirs!

THE END

Post script AN: Looks like my past self wanted to hurry up and finish this stinker. Anyway, if you've made it this far, I hope you either had a good laugh or took comfort in knowing that you are a better writer than I was in 2011. The only good thing about this story was I managed to predict that Megaman would be in the fourth Super Smash Bros. game. ^_^
