Chapter 10: The Final Battle
Yo, readers! The most epic chapter of the story has officially arrived! Huzzah! Now, kick off your socks, and watch the story unfold!
The white light faded to color as the voice faded away. I stood atop the hovering platform that was Final Destination. I was surrounded by every single brawler. I looked up to see a blue-skinned being that resembled a human. It had its head lowered and its arms crossed over its chest, covering an eye protruding from its chest.
The being raised its head and grinned broadly. "Welcome, fellow brawlers." It said with Osaria's voice.
I gasped and pointed a finger at the being. "You! You're Osaria, right?" I yelled.
The humanoid shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. Osaria was only a disguise I used to penetrate your mind."
Above us, Master Hand suddenly materialized above us. "Tabuu! What are you doing here?!" He bellowed, pointed a finger.
"I'm back for blood. Specifically yours, Master Hand." Tabuu said, grinning vilely. "Oh yes, I do think that there is someone who's been dying to see you."
Instantly, another hand materialized to Tabuu's left. "Crazy Hand!" Master Hand screamed. "Tabuu, what have you done to Crazy Hand?" The Hand said very angrily.
"Oh, come now, Master Hand. Can't I least have an advantage?" Tabuu replied, giggling lightly afterwards.
Master Hand clenched himself into a fist. "Tabuu, now you've gone too far! I will erase you from this world myself!" He bellowed.
Upon the end of his sentence, he darted over to Tabuu as a fist, the air burning. As soon as he reached Tabuu, he was blasted back by an invisible force. He was knocked away to the ground. Tabuu chuckled.
"Tch. Insolent fool…" Tabuu muttered before extending a hand forward. Yellow wires slid through the air before latching onto Master Hand, and then vanishing. Master Hand drifted into the air, and then facing us, on Tabuu's right side.
I shuddered. "Wh-what did you do to him!?" I cried.
Tabuu chuckled again. "Your former ruler, Master Hand, is now at my disposal. Him, and all of his raw strength and power!"
"You're the devil! How could you be so heartless?" I screamed. I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
Tabuu laughed hysterically. "Fool! Why spare pity on an empty shell?" I glared at the blue humanoid. Tabuu looked down on us with malice in his eyes, and a broad grin. "Very well! If you are so bent on saving your friend, than you shall also perish with him! Prepare to die!"
And just like that, the two hands charged for us. They swept us into air, and came down in fists. Many tried fighting back, sometimes in vain, sometimes landing a hit in success. In a matter of seconds, almost half the brawlers lay on the ground. I was not one of them, so I ran at Crazy Hand, and took a swipe at him with my sword. He shuddered backwards, and tried grabbing me, but I performed my Infernal Leap, and escaped his grasp, and then came down with a sword thrust. I pinned Crazy Hand into the ground. He did not move.
I looked behind me to see Andrew firing missiles at Master Hand, and Leah flinging her boomerang at the oversized hand as well. A large ball of blue energy shot through the air, knocking Master Hand back. I looked over to see Lucario in a pose like he threw something. I ran over to Andrew and Leah, and looked up at the shuddering Master Hand. He suddenly charged forward in a balled fist. I gripped my sword, and prepared to retaliate, but he stopped, exactly one foot away from us. I could hear him muttering something.
"F-finish it… take… take me… down…" I bit my lip. "D- DO IT!"
I sealed my eyes shut, pulled back my sword, and brought down my blade. I heard a thump, and I opened my eyes to gaze at Master Hand, lying on the ground.
Once all of the other Brawlers got up, (which was in only a few seconds, I might add XD) we all looked up at Tabuu. He smiled even broader than ever. "Ehehehehehe… you people… amuse me…" He was suddenly surrounded by a pair of huge, crackly wings. I heard a thump behind me.
I turned around, and saw Lucario kneeling on the floor. "The aura… his aura burns…"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Meta Knight yelled, as he leapt into the air, and performed a perfect Mach Tornado, shattering the wings. He landed gracefully on his toes, and leapt back to us.
"Nrraaaahh!" Tabuu snarled. "Fools! You shall perish now!" He clenched his fist, and it began sparkling with purple energy. He charged forward, and slammed the fist into the ground. Everyone scattered across the stage in an attempt to flee. Tabuu then twirled around on his fist, his extended leg projecting a shockwave beam. It slammed into every brawler, pushing them back a few feet.
Tabuu flew back into the air, and fired multiple bolts of energy at the group closest to me. Suddenly, a Waddle Dee soared through the air, and whacked Tabuu right in the back. He stumbled forward, and Ike tossed his sword into the air. It hit Tabuu, and then he leapt up to meet it, spun around, and plummeted. The brawlers jumped up to pummel Tabuu with combos, special moves, and smash attacks.
"ENOUGH!!" Tabuu screeched, and a wave of energy coursed through the air. It knocked everyone away.
"Petty mortals… you dare to defy a God?" Tabuu said. The air around him sizzled with purple energy. "I shall drown you in the sea of whirling darkness… and cast the remains of your shattered hearts to the winds of naught…"
"Ta… buu… s… stop… stop this… madness…" Master Hand said weakly, twitching. A ball of light appeared above himself, and Smash Balls started coming out of it! "F… Finish… this… chaos… you brawlers… a… are the only ones…" Master Hands twitching fingers fell to the ground. "Who can stop it… " The sphere of light disappeared.
Instantly, we all leapt up to crush the spheres of shining glass. They exploded with a single blow. Every brawler was glowing, and not a single smash ball remained. I jumped towards Tabuu, and began darting around him, slashing and slicing him with my sword. I was joined by all the brawlers, all sorts of light spilling around the area.
Once everyone else's final smash was finished, I floated into the air, saying aloud, "ETERNAL…" I flung my arms open wide. "BLADE!!!" I screamed, a burst of light flooding Final Destination. The special background lit up with shining light. I heard Tabuu cursing in pain.
"NOOOO! IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! HOW COULD I HAVE LOST?!" He bellowed, light bleeding his now cracking, blue flesh. "IMPOSSIBLE!!!" He screamed loudly.
Light fell over my eyes as I landed on the ground, the air shuddering. I covered my eyes to shield myself from the light.

I opened my eyes, and put down my arms after the light vanished. I saw we were in the courtyard of the Brawl Dimension. Master Hand and Crazy Hand lay motionless on the ground.
We all ran over to the hands, and started to shake them. "Master Hand! Master Hand! Please wake up! Don't die! Please!" I cried as tears fell like raindrops from my eyes. The hand didn't respond. I dropped my face into Master Hand's glove, and started to cry. I felt a hand pat me on the back. I turned my face to see it was Meta Knight. The look in his eyes were stern.
"I'm sorry, Luke." Meta Knight said.
I nodded, and pushed my face into Master Hand even further. Suddenly, I felt a shaking underneath me. "Urngh… No, I said I wanted olives…" Master Hand was alive!
"Master Hand!" I yelled.
The oversized hand shook awake. "Wagh! Wow, I just had a horrible nightmare that I was reasoning with an insane Pizza delivery guy!" He said sleepily.
Everyone piled onto the hand, and then, Crazy Hand floated into the air. "Spooky! Spooky ooky!" He said randomly.
Everyone laughed. I looked at Andrew, Leah, and Meta Knight. My best friends. I laid my head back, closed my eyes and thought, thank you.
Yay! Sorry for the lack of updates, but this was a really tough chapter to write! Well, I will see you next on the last chapter! Sayonara! Adios! Chiao!
