Chapter 9: Showdown
BlueTiger321: All right, folks. Here's the chapter with the final battle. Will Aerrow give what's coming to Dark Ace? Will Danny and June finally be together? Read on and find out for yourselves.
The doors to where the girls were being held captive were knocked down from a blast. Three Heaven Smiles tried to open the doors not knowing Aerrow had kept them locked. One of the Heaven Smiles held a fireball gun in its arms to use it on the doors so all of them could finally get inside. They all laughed when they searched the room only to find all the prisoners were gone. What they also found was the cover to the air vent was removed and one of the mattresses was missing.
In the air vent, Aerrow, Piper and the other four girls were riding on the mattress they had taken. The vent was covered with frost, which made it easier for the mattress to slide. The mattress was travelling at a fast pace and made everyone scream. Aerrow stayed at the front along with Piper so they could control the mattress, and the other girls held onto the mattress for life. The vent eventually became steeper and sent the mattress sliding quicker, making everyone scream louder, before it levelled off again.
Behind the group, the Heaven Smiles had also entered the vent and had somehow gotten the same idea as Aerrow. They were also riding on a mattress in pursuit of the escaping group.
Both Aerrow and Piper looked behind them to see that something was now chasing after them. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Heaven Smiles!"
Aerrow kept looking forward. Just then, he spotted some icicles hanging from the top of the vent. Aerrow knew they had to avoid that obstacle so he shouted to everyone, "Duck, now!"
The group leaned back as they all passed by the icicles. The Heaven Smiles soon approached the icicles and one of them crashed into the obstacle, sending it off the mattress laughing.
Aerrow looked behind him to see that one of the Heaven Smiles was now gone so he laughed in triumph. He looked back ahead to see something on the bottom of the vent. It was a small hole that could easily hold something slender. Thinking fast, Aerrow reached into his tool belt and pulled out a spud wrench. As the mattress got closer to the hole, Aerrow leaned out with the wrench in his hand. The mattress passed by the hole and Aerrow was able to fit in the wrench with no effort.
The remaining two Heaven Smiles were catching up to the group, but that all changed as one of them saw the spud wrench sticking out on the bottom of the vent. Both Heaven Smiles laughed as the mattress slid into the wrench and flipped it over, sending the Heaven Smiles into a crash.
"Gotcha!" Aerrow said, looking to see the Heaven Smiles crashing.
Piper and the other girls also looked behind them to see their pursuers taken care of, but they, along with Aerrow, turned back to the front and screamed as they saw their mattress was going faster.
The Heaven Smiles that crashed were now sliding along their stomachs down the vent. Their metal boots were scraping against the vent and sent up sparks and flames, making them go slower.
The end of the vent was coming up fast, but everyone screamed as they saw it was covered with ice. If they crashed into it, they might get seriously injured or they would have to deal with the Heaven Smiles—and they were possibilities that none of them wanted to happen.
Out in the city, Dark Ace walked with two Heaven Smiles and Danny and June still handcuffed together. Now that he had the meteorite piece and June, he was going to go ahead with his plans.
"Ready the Heaven Smiles," Dark Ace spoke into his walkie-talkie.
While Dark Ace thought everything was peaceful, Aerrow and the others came to the end of the vent. In a desperate move, Aerrow held out his feet while the mattress slid and was able to apply enough force to break the ice.
The Heaven Smiles that chased after them stopped and looked out the end of the vent while laughing.
Now Aerrow, Piper and the girls were out in the city. They all screamed as they held onto the mattress while it appeared to glide through the air. All the citizens watched this and couldn't believe what was happening. The man on the bike, Ikkaku Madarame, was so shocked to see it that he didn't see he was riding into the street vendor, Stork, so the bike rider ended up crashing into the vendor's stand, sending them both to the ground.
Dark Ace looked up to see Aerrow and the girls coming toward him so he jumped out of the way. Aerrow flew the mattress right into the Heaven Smiles. One of them was knocked to the side while the other crashed into a display case containing Stompers.
Danny and June managed to get away from Dark Ace in the confusion. After the big crash, they said to each other, "Are you all right?"
June looked to the street and said, "Are they all right?"
Danny and June walked over to Aerrow and Piper who were just standing up after their ride. Danny hugged Aerrow while June hugged Piper, and they were all glad to see the others safe.
Their reunion was spoiled when Dark Ace said, "Too late, humans!"
The group of four turned around to see Dark Ace standing off to the side. In his right hand, he held a double-bladed energy sword powered by a firebolt crystal. Both blades glowed red and looked deadly. In his left hand, he held both June's bracelet and his walkie-talkie. Dark Ace pointed his sword at the group to pin them down if they tried any heroics.
Dark Ace's walkie-talkie soon hailed a call. It was Scarface, saying, "Sir, your pizza is here."
"Not now," Dark Ace responded. He turned back to the group while shaking June's bracelet with a triumphant look on his face. "Looks like I win."
Danny was behind the display case that held the Stompers. He felt around until he was holding a cartridge. As Dark Ace continued his rant, he secretly placed the cartridge in a Stomper.
Dark Ace continued, saying, "Soon, you and everyone in your world will all be de-evolved into—"
Dark Ace was interrupted when his walkie-talkie turned back on with Scarface saying, "Sir? Sir?"
Dark Ace shook his head in annoyance and responded, "What is it now?"
"The Heaven Smiles are dancing again."
"Deal with it!"
Danny slipped Aerrow a cartridge while Dark Ace was distracted. Aerrow narrowed his eyes as he soon figured out Danny's plan so he placed the cartridge in a Stomper as well.
Once Dark Ace was finished on his walkie-talkie, he turned back to the group and said, "...will be de-evolved into monkeys!" He then proceeded by laughing maniacally.
Aerrow turned and grabbed the Stomper behind him. He lowered his body and slammed the Stomper's heel against the pavement, which activated it. Dark Ace stood there surprised as the Stomper soared through the air and hit him in the chest. Dark Ace stumbled back and shouted as he fell off the railing and landed into a coal drop.
All the citizens rushed over to see the battle taking place. The two Heaven Smiles then stood up while one had a Stomper stuck over its head. Danny handed the other Stomper to Aerrow who did the same thing. He let the Stomper fly and it crashed into one Heaven Smile while knocking over the other one. As both Heaven Smiles fell to the ground, they knocked over a glass case that had many frogs inside it.
"Oh yeah!" Aerrow said as he took out the Heaven Smiles.
Dark Ace stood up after recovering from his fall in the coal drop. "Die, plumber!" he shouted. His eyes filled with rage as he pointed his sword at Aerrow. The sword released a red pulse of energy that sped towards the group.
"Look out!" shouted Aerrow.
Thinking instinctively, Aerrow pulled out the daggers from his back and activated them. Both blades then shined blue when Aerrow brought them out. The red pulse was coming fast so Aerrow deflected it with his daggers and sent it into the side of a building. Dark Ace tried to fire another shot but then his sword's blades began to flicker off. He hit the hilt to try and get it back on before Aerrow could retaliate.
While Dark Ace was busy, Aerrow sheathed his daggers and took off his tool belt. He handed it to Danny and said, "Here, take my tools and get out of those handcuffs." He then ran off to face Dark Ace by himself.
"Aerrow, wait," said Danny. His brother turned around to look at him so Danny threw his tool belt at him, saying, "Take my belt, and remember: trust the fungus."
Aerrow wasn't quite sure what Danny meant, but he knew to have faith in his brother. Looking to his right, he saw a concrete pillar covered in fungus so he pulled off a piece and said to himself, "Trust the fungus."
Dark Ace had now gotten his sword to work again so he fired off another shot as he held June's bracelet between his teeth.
Danny saw the shot coming and shouted, "Look out!" Danny and all the other girls ducked while the shot crashed into the Stomper display case.
"All right! Yeah!" shouted Aerrow. He dove off the ledge with the fungus in his hands and swung over the street. Dark Ace looked down to see Aerrow and fired two shots but missed. Aerrow let go of the fungus and grabbed onto the bottom of the coal drop and ended up hitting his face into the side. He shook his head after feeling the blow.
"Where are you?" said Dark Ace in a muffled tone. He continued to look down the coal drop firing shots in order to hit Aerrow.
Aerrow climbed up the coal drop behind Dark Ace, hoping to get him by surprise.
Meanwhile, Azula walked down the sidewalk after being released from Scarface. Her earlier attempt to merge the dimensions by herself was thwarted but that didn't stop her from getting what she wanted. She walked and faced a man named Edward Elric, and so she got him out of the way by grabbing his nose and lifting him aside. That's when she noticed Aerrow and Dark Ace fighting each other.
Dark Ace still searched for Aerrow, not knowing he was coming up right behind him. Aerrow stood on the ledge of the coal drop and kicked Dark Ace in the back of his head. The kick made Dark Ace spit out June's bracelet from his mouth.
Azula saw the bracelet spiralling down to the street. She thought this would be her chance to secretly take it. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it, but leaned too far over the railing and went over it. Azula screamed as she fell down to the street with the bracelet in her hand.
Danny and the girls saw Azula fall, but she didn't perish. Instead, she landed on her back over the metal grating of a car. The electricity surged through Azula's body, forcing her to twitch in various spots while screaming and her hair becoming frizzled from static.
Aerrow hung from behind the coal drop while an idea formed in his head. Taking off a piece from his belt, he said to himself, "You want a rock? I'll give you a rock."
Dark Ace sifted through the coal underneath him trying to find the bracelet just as Azula sat up after falling. Her eyes opened in joy as she realised the meteorite piece was in her possession.
"Where's the rock?" said Dark Ace, still looking through the coal.
"Hey!" shouted Aerrow.
Dark Ace stood up and saw something in Aerrow's hand. In it was something long and brown but he couldn't see what was in the middle since it was obstructed by Aerrow's fingers. He didn't realise that Aerrow was leading him to believe that he had the meteorite piece.
With a smile, Aerrow taunted Dark Ace, saying, "You looking for this?"
"Give it to me!" Dark Ace demanded.
Aerrow only laughed at Dark Ace and jumped down from the coal drop. Dark Ace was soon after Aerrow with his sword in hand and anger on his face. He fired off a shot but missed while shouting, "Give me that rock, you monkey! That's mine!"
Azula was now running through the streets while Aerrow and Dark Ace were fighting. Laughing in hysteria, she cried out, "I'll show him!"
Danny had now gotten rid of the handcuffs tying him to June. They both watched Azula running. She now had the meteorite piece, which meant she was going to head for the meteorite and merge the dimensions.
"We've got to stop her," said June.
"Come on, girls, let's go!" said Danny.
Piper stepped forward but the other girls stood in their places. They weren't sure whether or not to trust this man since they just met him.
"Who are you?" asked Gwen.
"Danny Aerrow," he replied with a nod. "What, have you got a problem with that?"
"I don't have a problem with that," said Rukia. All the other girls shook their heads in response.
"Then come on, let's go!" said Danny while motioning with his hand.
Danny, June, Piper and the other girls ran down the street to go after Azula. They had to stop her or else Dark Ace's goal would finally be accomplished.
In the tunnel leading to the meteorite, Azula ran with one intention in mind: to prove that she had what it takes to make the two worlds merge into one.
She laughed as she ran and said deliriously, "My time has come! The universe is mine!"
Dark Ace was still trying to hit Aerrow with more shots but to no avail. His frustration was making it harder to shoot so he kept missing.
"I'll fry you, mammal!" shouted Dark Ace. "You give me that rock!"
Aerrow climbed down from the coal drop and landed in the middle of the road. Looking ahead yielded a taxi with a clothed skeleton spread out over the hood. Aerrow ran away from the taxi not wanting to become the next victim.
Now Dark Ace had climbed out of the coal drop. Screaming in irritation, he chased after Aerrow while holding up his sword. Aerrow saw Dark Ace coming, and so he pulled out his daggers again igniting them. Their weapons clashed against each other in a brilliant display of sparks. Aerrow was strong enough to push back on Dark Ace, and without warning, he brought his blades forward and kicked Dark Ace in the stomach. He ran off through the road away from the evil ruler.
(A/N: That fight isn't in the movie. I just felt like adding it.)
Dark Ace recovered from the attack and once again went after Aerrow. Still thinking the plumber had the rock, he was determined to get it no matter what.
The meteorite began to glow furiously as Azula had now taken the missing piece out of June's bracelet and brought it close to the small hole where it would fit. Small streaks of purple lightning were coming out of the meteorite to the rock as Azula brought it closer.
Azula wanted to savour the moment so she took it slow as madness formed in her eyes. She cried out, "My time has come to fulfill my destiny!"
By that time, Danny, June and the others were arriving. June had finished explaining what were to happen, saying, "...and the rock will merge the two dimensions."
June turned to see Azula was about to put the rock in the hole so she tried to reason with her. "Azula, don't!" she said.
Azula looked up and replied, "You're too late. You see? I do have the power to merge the worlds, princess." Purple sparks flew up from the meteorite as she talked, meaning the process was almost complete.
"It's not too late," said June. "We've got to stop her."
Danny ran forward and said, "All right. Come on, girls."
"Where are we going?" wondered Rose.
"Back to where you came, it's this way."
More sparks flew out of the meteorite. Piper and the other girls were going to go back to their world while Danny and June would stay behind to stop Azula. Danny led the girls down to the side as quickly as he could.
Back in the city, Dark Ace walked forward on a raised platform while steam and fire shot out from metal gratings. At the far end of the platform was Aerrow, and he was approaching Dark Ace.
Aerrow had his daggers sheathed again and held up the fake bracelet in his right hand. "Come and get it, stink breath!" he shouted.
Using his left hand, Aerrow felt around inside Danny's tool belt around his waist. He was hoping to find something useful Danny had given him when they traded belts. Something small and round was in a pocket. Not knowing what it was, he took it out anyway.
At that moment, all the citizens looked at what Aerrow held so they all screamed in fear and ran away. It was the object Danny had collected from June's father.
"It's a bob-omb!" shouted a woman named Rikku (Final Fantasy X).
"He's got a bob-omb!" shouted a man named Abel (Street Fighter IV).
Aerrow wondered why everyone suddenly ran from the sight of the object. It didn't seem like it could do anything bad, but that's when Aerrow noticed something else.
Dark Ace opened his eyes in fright and whispered, "Bob-omb!"
Aerrow got a stern look on his face after seeing Dark Ace. He must be afraid of it, too, he thought. Aerrow then began to wind up the key in the bob-omb's back. Dark Ace stood motionless when he saw Aerrow was serious about using it.
Aerrow knelt down after winding up the key and set the bob-omb on the ground. The bob-omb was then activated. Its little feet carried it forward while the fuse in its head was ignited.
Dark Ace stepped back because he knew bob-ombs may be small but they were dangerous. The bob-omb kept moving forward, but then it fell down when the pavement underneath it crumbled.
"Messed up again, mammal!" Dark Ace said in relief.
Aerrow saw the bob-omb fall down to the street. With it gone, he would now have to think of another plan. Dark Ace continued advancing to Aerrow with his sword drawn.
The bob-omb fell down a small crevice covered in fungus.
While waving the decoy bracelet, Aerrow said, "All right! Come on! Come and get it! Come on, you knuckle head! Let's see what you're made of!"
The bob-omb had now landed on the street. Even though it fell from its starting point, it was still going and wouldn't stop until it was finished.
The meteorite room was now bursting with sparks. Danny led the girls over to the portal. They couldn't do anything in this world, so they had to go back and do the best they could to tell others about Dark Ace's plan.
"Don't look down!" Danny told them.
"Get there and tell everybody!" added June.
Ty Lee was the first to go, and she was followed by Gwen, then Rukia, and finally Rose. The portal dissolved and re-formed every time someone passed through it.
As the girls left, Danny shouted, "Get back to Brooklyn and tell everyone about the invasion and the Heaven Smiles!"
Azula smiled devilishly as the rock was almost in place. More lightning formed around the piece she held and it pushed her back, but she pressed onward, determined to finish what she started.
Now it was Piper's turn to head through the portal. She didn't feel right about leaving her boyfriend but there was nothing she could do for him. In a worried tone, she said, "Good luck, Danny!" and she went back to Brooklyn.
"It's incredible!" shouted Azula.
The rock was now fitted into the hole and Azula thought she'd finally done it. All of a sudden, electricity coursed through her body. Her face showed a horrified look as she let out a low groan. Azula screamed as the meteorite's power overwhelmed her body and she was pushed back by a pulse of purple energy.
Danny and June watched the whole thing and were left aghast at what they saw. Azula hit the wall, but all that remained of her was her skeleton. Small flames and smoke arose from around the remains after the impact.
(A/N: Yay! Azula's dead! You don't know how many times I've wanted that to happen to her while watching Avatar.)
"Yikes!" said June.
"Wow, she sure makes an impression," said Danny.
The jaw of Azula's skeleton then opened up after it crashed. It would remain there embedded in the rock permanently as a warning to anyone who tried to merge the dimensions.
"That's what Dark Ace meant," said June. "Only I can withstand the force." Turning to the meteorite, she said, "Come on."
June knelt on the meteorite with no problem. Danny, however, couldn't approach it as waves of purple energy spun around it to prevent him from going farther. June looked until she found where the piece was placed. She tried to get it out on her own, but it was no use.
"It's jammed in! I can't get it!" cried June. "Danny, we've got to stop it! We've got to get it out! Grab on to me!"
June looked out to see Danny couldn't enter so she stretched out her hand. Miraculously, Danny was now able to get past the pulsing energy. As long as June held on to Danny, she would share her immunity from the meteorite's power with him. Danny entered the meteorite safely and knelt down next to June with an exhausted look on his face like he had just run a mile: entering the meteorite was a lot more tiring than he thought. But he soon regained his strength when the thought of the two worlds merging filled his head, so he would have to prevent that along with June.
Dark Ace was now drawing closer to Aerrow. He thought he would soon have the meteorite piece and he would then deal with the plumber once and for all.
Aerrow merely stood there smirking and shook the decoy in his hand. "Come and get it," he said.
Dark Ace stretched out his hand to grab the fake bracelet. Aerrow pulled it away from Dark Ace, and using his free hand, he brought out one of his daggers and ignited it. He swiped it at Dark Ace's sword and hit the firebolt crystal on the end of the hilt. The crystal was now damaged so the blades shut off by themselves.
Aerrow smiled after making Dark Ace defenceless so he sheathed his dagger. Dark Ace groaned in annoyance and tried to make his sword turn back on, but it wouldn't work.
Just then, Aerrow had a weird feeling coming from his hand. He looked at it and saw it disintegrating. Aerrow's eyes open wide with fright as he saw his whole arm was disintegrating.
Dark Ace looked down at his sword and saw it was disintegrating too, and was spreading to his arms. That's when he realised what was happening.
"It's melting," said Dark Ace. "We're merging." Dark Ace then figured out that Aerrow was only distracting him from getting the real rock yet the dimensions were now merging.
"You don't have the rock!" said Dark Ace. "You filthy mammal!" Dark Ace then laughed sinisterly as he saw his plans were now coming to reality. "We're merging!"
Aerrow's body disintegrated as he looked on in disbelief until he was no longer standing there. Dark Ace's body also disintegrated while he continued to laugh.
Danny looked at the meteorite piece and pondered what the best way to remove it was. He then pulled out a power drill from Aerrow's tool belt and shoved it between a crack in the rock and the meteorite.
"I'm gonna drill it out!" he said.
Danny activated the power drill and small purple sparks shot out while he held it in place. Suddenly, the meteorite's power was too much for the drill and so it shot out of Danny's hand. Both Danny and June looked to see the drill bounce away.
"Hold on to me, all right?" Danny said worriedly, making June nod in agreement.
The worst part was that Danny wasn't finished with making the hole big enough. That's when he remembered he had attained magical powers. Thinking there was some way he could get out the rock, he pointed his finger at the hole he made.
"Please let this work," said Danny.
Danny closed his eyes and concentrated hard. A small green flash emitted from his finger and then turned into a beam of light. The beam seared into the meteorite, and Danny opened his eyes to see what he was doing. He smiled when he saw he was using magic.
"Give me the wheel puller," said Danny. "It looks like a corkscrew."
June looked through the tool belt until she found the tool Danny described. "This?" she said, showing it to him.
"Yeah."
Danny made the beam disappear and grabbed the wheel puller from June. He placed it in the whole he made and began twisting the top. The rod in the middle bore its way down into the meteorite as small sparks flew out of it. Danny was determined to get this done fast so he could go help Aerrow.
Back in the human world, Piper and the other girls had arrived on the excavation site to warn everyone about Dark Ace. Piper was held back by a security guard while she pointed out something going on in Manhattan.
"Look," she said. "It's Dark Ace's tower."
At that moment, Dark Ace's tower appeared out of nowhere in Manhattan. It was in the same spot where two towers once stood.
(A/N: I mean no disrespect to all you people out there if you are family members of the victims of 9/11. My deepest condolences go out to you all. I only wrote that part down because that's what happens in the movie and it was released in 1993.)
"Those guys will do anything for publicity," said Moss. He looked at everything and thought this was some hoax made up by the university so he wouldn't have to keep working.
Aerrow and Dark Ace soon appeared in front of everyone. All the people who watched stood in awe when two people suddenly came out of thin air.
"Aerrow?" Piper said in disbelief.
Three Heaven Smiles had also appeared and they were standing behind Dark Ace who threw away his useless weapon. He gazed out and said, "It's Brooklyn! My world!" Turning to a Heaven Smile, he grabbed its weapon and said demandingly, "Give me that devo gun!"
Dark Ace was now holding a de-evolution gun and he knew who was going to be his first target. Aerrow jumped out of the way just before Dark Ace pulled the trigger. A blue beam shot out from the barrel and ended up hitting who was behind Aerrow. Unfortunately, it was Moss. His body then began to change back into the earlier stages of humans. When the beam subsided, all that was left of Moss was a chimpanzee in his clothes.
"Not again!" said Ty Lee.
"What is this?" said Rose.
Everyone looked as Moss jumped after being de-evolved. He made 'ook' noises and smiled like any chimpanzee would do.
"Monkey!" said Dark Ace, smiling.
Moss turned to Aerrow and smiled while bearing his teeth.
"Moss?" said Aerrow in disbelief.
The only response Moss gave was a slap to his own forehead while making 'ook' noises again. All the people laughed at the scene while Moss opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. Hamish was so distraught over it that he went over and picked up his boss.
"Mr. Moss," he said, "what'd they do to ya?"
With that spectacle over, Dark Ace turned his attention back to Aerrow. "And now," he said with intent, "I'm gonna make a monkey out of you, plumber!"
Aerrow was still lying on the ground. With no way to get out in time, he reached into Danny's tool belt again and found the mushroom his brother pulled out earlier.
"Trust the fungus," Aerrow said to himself.
Dark Ace fired the de-evolution gun once more. Much to his chagrin, he saw the mushroom in Aerrow's hand expand. The mushroom was used like a shield as it protected Aerrow from the de-evolution beam. Dark Ace continued firing, but Aerrow soon stood up and flicked the mushroom at Dark Ace, knocking the de-evolution gun out of his hands. Now Aerrow was on equal ground with Dark Ace.
Back on the meteorite, Danny had now managed to fit a crowbar in the hole. June joined in with him, and with their combined strength, they had removed the rock from the meteorite. A beam of purple light soon came up straight out of the hole once the rock was released. The energy swirling around the meteorite had also vanished.
Dark Ace shouted in frustration for not having de-evolved Aerrow. The shouting was silenced as everyone saw that he, Aerrow and the Heaven Smiles were disintegrating. Their bodies appeared back in the magical world with Aerrow standing by himself again and Dark Ace a few feet in front of him. The Heaven Smiles also appeared right behind Dark Ace.
Aerrow stood around in confusion, and breathed in deeply after going through that experience. The two dimensions were now separate again.
The bob-omb slowly walked across the road. Cars were driving by it without knowing that the small object was making its way.
One driver, a man named Mangus (Brütal Legend), was going at a normal pace while paying attention to the road. The bob-omb came up in front of him a few feet away and that's what sent him into a panic.
"Bob-omb!" he shouted.
Mangus closed his eyes and slammed on the brakes as hard as he could. The car came to a stop a few inches before one of the tires ran over the bob-omb. The little black bomb still made its way across the road after nearly causing an accident.
Danny and June were now back in the city. Their mission to stop the dimensions from merging had been successful so now there was only one thing left to do: stop Dark Ace. They ran along a raised platform hoping to get to Aerrow in time. Danny froze when he saw something come up out of the side.
Two de-evolution guns were being held out by someone. The one holding the guns is what put Danny on the defensive. It was a Heaven Smile who made out laughs that sounded like it was saying, "Take the guns! Go!"
June willingly took the guns from the Heaven Smile as she recognised the harmonica around its neck.
"What are you doing?" Danny said in protest.
"It's okay," said June as she handed a gun to Danny. "He's a friend."
Danny didn't realise that it was actually Yun-seong who handed them the guns. When he and June left, Yun-seong blew into his harmonica and laughed as he watched them leave.
The bob-omb was now on the other side of the road. It walked in front of a wall, and surprisingly, it started walking up the wall. The bob-omb continued its trek up the wall since gravity was not an issue with it.
Danny and June had now gotten to where the battle was taking place. They pushed past some citizens just so they could be able to see what was happening.
"Aerrow!" called June.
Aerrow heard his name and looked up to see Danny and June. They could see that Aerrow was now facing Dark Ace with four Heaven Smiles. Dark Ace was furious that his plans had been ruined and he was now going to take it out on Aerrow.
Dark Ace pointed to Aerrow and shouted to the Heaven Smiles, "Shoot him! Shoot him!"
At that moment, some familiar music was playing. Aerrow looked up from the crowd and saw Yun-seong playing on his harmonica. It was the same tune to the elevator music. All the other Heaven Smiles then began dancing to it, making Dark Ace more enraged.
Danny ran past the crowd with both de-evolution guns. He suddenly looked to his left as he heard a whistle. A pair of Stompers was then thrown into his arms. Danny looked at who had thrown them and saw Rangiku standing there with a smile on her face. It was another act of help for the two brothers.
Dark Ace looked at the dancing Heaven Smiles in fury. He grabbed a fireball gun from one of them and shouted, "Stupid!" Dark Ace landed a punch so hard on one of the Heaven Smiles that it knocked all of them down like dominoes.
Meanwhile, the bob-omb kept climbing up the wall. The fuse on its head was now getting shorter and soon it would show its potential.
Danny put on the Stompers that Rangiku had given him and clicked his heels together. He soared as the Stompers lifted him from the air pressure.
As Danny rose up, he turns to you, the reader, and says, "Yeah, I know that I can fly on the show. But this is what happens in the movie, so the author has to write it down."
Unfortunately, Dark Ace saw Danny coming. He got his gun ready and shouted, "Ah, plumber!"
A fireball barely missed Danny and crashed into a building. All the citizens, along with June, gasped as Danny was nearly hit. Dark Ace fired another shot at Danny and it was now coming his way. That's when Danny concentrated hard once more, hoping he had a power to save him. Danny's body then began to glow white until everyone could see through him. His intangibility allowed the fireball to pass harmlessly through his body and crash into a neon sign.
Danny changed back to normal and landed next to Aerrow while Dark Ace shouted in rage, "You plumbers!"
Another fireball was now targeting the two brothers. Danny grabbed his brother and concentrated again. They were now both intangible so the fireball went through them and hit a picture of Dark Ace on a billboard.
Now the bob-omb was walking underneath a metal grating. The wind-up key was now reaching its end and the fuse was almost gone.
After Dark Ace's attack, it was now Aerrow and Danny's turn when their bodies were solid again. Aerrow got a de-evolution gun from Danny and together, the two of them fired off blue beams towards Dark Ace. The evil ruler could do nothing but stand in place as he was hit with the beams. Everyone could see that his face was changing into a snarl of sharp teeth and his fingers were growing claws.
Aerrow and Danny kept firing unaware that the bob-omb had now stopped under Dark Ace. The small object made some beeping sounds and finally reached its end. A huge explosion came out from under Dark Ace and sent him skyrocketing. Aerrow and Danny averted their eyes after witnessing the sudden blast.
Dark Ace fell back down screaming like he had something lodged in his throat and crashed back in the coal drop.
The two brothers got closer to the coal drop once they saw Dark Ace was there. Everything was quiet as they, and every citizen watching, were curious to see what became of the evil ruler. A few seconds passed by and nothing happened, leading people to believe that Dark Ace had perished from the fall.
What everyone saw next was a shock. Dark Ace emerged from the coal drop, but not as they expected him to be. Instead, what they saw was a hideous beast. It looked like a giant turtle with piercing red eyes, red hair like fire, a green, scaly head and brown, scaly skin. Horns twisted out of its head and its jagged shell was green with spikes protruding from it. Its mouth contained razor-sharp teeth, and sharp claws stuck out from its fingers and toes. A long, spiked tail stuck out from the bottom of the shell and the creature also had spiked bands around its neck and arms. This was Dark Ace's de-evolved form, the Giga Bowser.
Aerrow and Danny screamed in fright from seeing Dark Ace ending up like this. The former evolved being roared and bared its teeth, causing the citizens to run away from sheer terror.
The two brothers turned back to Dark Ace to finish him off once and for all. Filling with confidence, Aerrow said, "See you later, alligator!"
Aerrow and Danny once again used their de-evolution guns against Dark Ace. The blue beams flew from the guns, targeting the beast. Dark Ace continued roaring as the beams were hitting him, causing him to de-evolve again.
The two brothers stopped their firing to see what was now happening. Dark Ace received the blow but something came unexpected. He then started to climb out of the coal drop and was heading for Aerrow and Danny.
Thinking fast, Aerrow dropped his de-evolution gun and drew his daggers. The weapons in Aerrow's hands ignited. Aerrow then concentrated like Danny did while Dark Ace got closer. In an instant, blue energy was pulsing around Aerrow's body as he could feel the power from his weapons. Aerrow leapt and spun around in the air. His arms then appeared to transform into wings when he held up his daggers. Bringing his arms forward, Aerrow fired a large pulse of blue energy, the Lightning Claw, which was headed for Dark Ace. The shot hit Dark Ace right in his chest and sent him back into the coal drop.
Dark Ace stood up after the attack and was now de-evolving again. This time, his form changed into the Bowser, a smaller version of the Giga Bowser. Everyone watched as Dark Ace fell out of the coal drop, heading for the street. His body was now changing into a green slime that was dropping slowly. Dark Ace had de-evolved back into the primordial state. What was left of him hit the road with a big splash.
The battle was over, and Aerrow and Danny emerged as the victors. Soon, everyone cheered at the two brothers for destroying Dark Ace. Aerrow and Danny then waved to the citizens as they were now declared heroes. June looked and smiled at the two brothers for they had saved her kingdom.
Danny turned to Aerrow and said, "Need a lift?"
"What?" Aerrow wondered.
"Come on, get on my feet."
"Oh, right."
Aerrow got on top of Danny's Stompers and he clicked his heels. The metal boots let out beeping noises until they activated. Aerrow and Danny shot into the air while the citizens continued cheering. Aerrow waved to all of them while Danny held out his hand in a peace sign. The two of them landed on the other side of the street where June was waiting for them.
"Danny, Aerrow!" said June happily. She went over to the brothers and embraced them both in a big hug.
All the citizens danced around and cheered as they were now rid of their evil ruler. Some of them had started to remove all traces of Dark Ace by painting over the billboards with his face on them. The Heaven Smiles danced along with the citizens. No one would ever be able to order them around again.
Back in Dark Ace's tower, the giant ball of fungus hung from above the throne. It then fell out from the funnel and landed in the throne while it started to change. The fungus had now transformed into a person. It was a man who looked of Asian heritage with short, black hair and brown eyes complimented with glasses. He was dressed in a blue business shirt with a red tie, black pants and black shoes. This man was King Michael Lee, June's father and the true ruler of the magical world. The de-evolution process on him had worn off after so many years and he was now back to his original self.
Michael then coughed into his hand as some fungus spit out from it. Sitting up, he said, "I'm back. Love those plumbers." He then proceeded to get what was left of the fungus off his clothes.
Aerrow, Danny and June had now walked back into the meteorite room. With Dark Ace finally gone and June saved, they could now go home. Aerrow walked over to where the portal was while Danny remained at the top with June.
Aerrow touched the wall to feel the portal, but his hand wouldn't go through it. "It's solid," he said.
June extended her right wrist to show the meteorite piece back on her bracelet. Two beams of purple light then protruded from it—one headed for the portal while the other went to the meteorite. The portal started to ripple once the light shone upon it, indicating that it was now passable.
"All right, c'mon, let's go!" said Danny as he held onto June.
Danny tried to take June with her but she stood in place. She shook her head and said, "I can't."
Danny was surprised by June's reaction. He had gone into this world to bring her back, and now she didn't want to leave.
"You mean you want to stay?" Danny said in dismay.
"Well," explained June, "until we get things settled here, and I can get to know my father."
Danny felt his heart breaking upon hearing June. He truly cared about her and now she was saying that she can't go with him.
"C'mon, June, you know how I feel about you, right?" asked Danny. "I… I want to be with you."
"I do too," replied June, "but I can't."
Aerrow soon walked over to them, seeing what his brother was trying to do. Out of concern, Aerrow said, "She's trying to tell you that she can't leave here until she knows where she belongs. If you loved her, you would understand that."
Danny understood what Aerrow meant, but then he decided to take a chance. He slowly came towards June and kissed her gently on her lips. June accepted the kiss and kissed Danny in return. The two of them did care about each other, but they couldn't be together right now.
Aerrow felt awkward for seeing the kiss and said, "And if I had any sense, I'd mind my own business."
Danny broke the kiss and pulled away from June. They looked at each other and they saw love and concern in each other's eyes.
Aerrow knew it would be harder for Danny to leave if they stayed so he grabbed his brother and said, "Come on."
The two brothers walked down to the portal. They stopped before it to look back at June. Standing next to her was Monroe who smiled and waved at Aerrow and Danny for their bravery. The two brothers waved back in return and turned to face the portal.
June extended her wrist again and the beams of light shot out to the portal and the meteorite. Aerrow walked in first while Danny continued to wave goodbye to the woman he loved.
Aerrow's upper body then came out of the portal, saying, "It's over. Come on, Danny, come on."
Aerrow pulled his brother in with him and they headed back to their world. Once they were gone, June lowered her wrist and the two beams of light faded. She was now with Monroe in the meteorite room. Sadness welled up within her as tears fell from her eyes.
Yun-seong then entered the room and stood behind June. While waving his hand, he miraculously said, "Bye."
