Before I begin, sorry for the week break, I've been busy with exams. All characters belong to Nintendo and its various branches.
Chapter 10: Captain Falcon
All was calm in the Smash Mansion auditorium until... *Crash!*
Pikachu was running around the room trying to escape the clutches of a certain villainous warlock.
"Join me, rat! I want to destroy Hyrule with you by my side!" *Wham!* Since he was about as bulky as an elephant made out of gold, he ran into thing quite a bit.
Fox put his hands over his ears. "Good god, he's making a wreck of the place." He turned to the Links and Zelda. "Aren't any of you going to do something?"
The Links were having a sword fight while Zelda was combing her hair. The princess was the one to reply. "We would usually but he's not the immortal he is at home. He will get tired eventually."
Fox sighed as he looked on. "But his evil babbling reminds me of Andross, and that annoys me..."
A rough hand was put on the pilot's shoulder and he turned, surprised to see Bowser looking at him. He said "I can stop that pretentious ham, but I need some help. Do you have a cannon or something to shoot me out of?"
Fox looked around the room until he saw a dejected Captain Falcon walking away from Samus. "I have an idea." He walked up to him. "Do you have the keys to your car anywhere?"
The bounty hunter inflated back to his usual excited demeanor. "I just snap my fingers and say Come on! No keys necessary. But it's not like it's in here or any-" "Come on!" Fox snapped his fingers.
The Blue Falcon rose up from under the stage. As the racecar driver yelled in protest, Fox and Bowser entered the ride. The pilot aimed at Ganondorf, who was still bumbling around trying to catch Pikachu. "You ready?" Bowser grunted affirmatively.
Abruptly, Bowser flew through the sky bellowing "Bowser Koopa's blasting off again!" Then he got into his shell and hit Ganondorf point-blank on his chest. He bellowed as he fell on his back and Pikachu ran back to his seat. Bowser turned back to normal and stood on his chest. "Who sucks as a villain now, Dragmire?"
Master Hand floated into the room carrying a cup of coffee. "I go to the backstage area for some coffee and this happens? Anyway, you're up, Captain Falcon." He nodded with a glum look on his face then put the Blue Falcon back under the stage. Bowser and Ganondorf walked back to their seats as Master Hand put his glasses on.
Captain Falcon heroically posed with the Blue Falcon beside him. "Usually a relentless bounty hunter, Captain Falcon shifts gears to become a race pilot once the F-Zero Grand Prix begins. His beloved racer, the Blue Falcon, can exceed the speed of sound, and he knows how to drive it; he'll go down as one of the all time-greats. Now 36 years old, Captain Falcon wears his F-Zero X visor."
The Blue Falcon went away and he got into a strongman pose. "Falcon's style is a balanced combination of raw power and speed. His attacks are slow, but when combined with Falcon's high mobility, he's a formidable combat force. The Falcon Punch packs the highest degree of destructive power, while the explosive Raptor Boost can be used to smash airborne foes into the depths."
A purple-and-red Falcon brought his fist up into the air. "The Knee Smash, used in midair on foes in front of you, is slow and has a short reach, but if it connects, it'll send foes flying a long way on a low trajectory. Falcon uses his Falcon Dive to grab an enemy in midair and fling them away with an explosive blast. He can do this technique repeatedly without landing, so it can also be used as a recovery move."
Captain Falcon: He got back in the energetic mood. "Yes, it's me! The race car driver who all the ladies love. Show me your moves!"
Mario: "While-a I'm not so okay with-a you flirting with Peach, you're a very-a good driver and-a fighter. I'm-a hoping to invite you to the Mario Kart tourney." Falcon simply shook his head. "Those cars are too slow for me."
Luigi: "C-can you teach me to be m-more confident l-like you?" Luigi wrung his hands with a hopeful smile on his face. Falcon shrugged. "Maybe later."
Peach: "While you're a very handsome man, I'm sort of going out with someone already, sorry!" He shrugged again.
Bowser: "I thought you were just a stupid human at first, but now I wanna learn more about your cannon technology." "It's called an ejection seat..."
Dr. Mario: "If-a you ever crash, call-a me, okay? ...Not-a in that way." Cap said "Didn't want it to be that way, not-Mario."
Donkey Kong: "We no need weapons. We strong with just hands!"
Yoshi: "You were born for the racetrack, that's for sure!"
Link: "..." [You remind both myself and the younger me of a very flamboyant man named Tingle. The less said about him, the better.] Falcon simply raised an eyebrow but said nothing of it.
Zelda/Sheik: Zelda rolled her eyes and turned into Sheik. "She always does this whenever you're around. Can't imagine why. No harm done, though, right?" Falcon nodded.
Ganondorf: "I have two reasons to hate you now. You stole my fighting style..." Captain Falcon crossed his arms and frowned. "...and you launched Bowser's body at my chest for no reason!" "That was Fox, not me..."
Speaking of Fox... He knocked on the wood above his head. He was trapped in the Blue Falcon under the stage. Nobody seemed to hear him.
Young Link: He shuddered a bit and hid behind his older counterpart. He was obviously reminded of Tingle as well.
Samus: "I gladly worked with you and I hope to still do that despite your now common flirtations." Falcon winked and Samus rolled her eyes.
Ice Climbers: They bowed to him. "We respect you, sir, for making Father see the stupidity of his actions." Both lightning-fast bruisers widened their eyes at that.
Kirby: "Back off, demon kids, he's my dad! ...Okay, he's my adopted dad." The two of them exchanged a hug.
Fox: "..." The fighters looked around at each other until Falco's communicator beeped. Confused, he put it up to where his ear would be if he was a human. "Hello?" Angry yelling on the other end. "Oh God, that's hilarious." More angry yelling. "Okay, keep your tail." He turned to Falcon. "Let the car back out." He snapped his fingers and as soon as the Blue Falcon came back up, Fox jumped out. "You're the craziest pilot I know. And I know Slippy and Peppy, so I know what I'm talking about!"
Falco: "You're the king of accidental practical jokes, man! And I can definitely help with the ladies at some point. I don't even care that you ain't a falcon."
Pikachu: "You're a lot faster than you look."
Jigglypuff: "Can I sing the Staryu-Spangled Banner before your races?" Captain Falcon simply tilted his head. "I don't know what that is but we don't play music before the racing starts."
Mewtwo: Typical human bodybuilder. I'll enjoy picking you apart. ...With insults, of course.
Pichu: "You're stupid! You always say yes for no reason! And why do you have metal nubs on your belly, that doesn't make sense!"
Marth: "{Racing doesn't seem like a very fitting sport for me, sorry.}" Falcon shrugged.
Roy: "{Quick, Falcon Punch me.}" "Wha-" "{Just do it!}" Captain Falcon blinked then aimed his fist at Roy. "Falcon Punch!" He punched and Roy blocked the hit with the Sword of Seals. "{Ah. Much better.}"
Ness: "I'd like to thank you for picking me up on the first tournament. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here." They exchanged fist bumps and grinned at each other.
Mr. Game And Watch: [I could've sworn Captain Falcon was the name of your car. Oh well, what do I know, I'm just an old guy.]
Master Hand floated down to the racer/bounty hunter. "Why do you have your racecar down there anyway?"
"The Blue Falcon's extreme enough to pick up the sound of a finger snap and go straight to the location."
"Oh. Okay then. Intermission." He drank some of the coffee with the wrist part of himself.
Next time: Bowser.
Keep those suggestions coming, see you next time!
