" Who are you demon!?" Ziden asked as he drew his sword.
" Simple. I am the Dark Messenger, Diabolos. It was foolish of your friends to come in here with you. I wonder how you will react upon seeing their broken bodies, hero?" The demon known as Diabolos flapped his wings ready to fight his opponents.
Force Your Way ( Final Fantasy 8)
" We'll show you who is gonna be broken after this, Diabolos! Demon's Dinner Fork!" Remilia launches three red spears at Diabolos that blasts him back a little before he brushes his chest off as if nothing happened.
" Is that all, little girl?" Diabolos taunted as he crossed his arms across his chest. " If so, then this will end very soon."
" Oh yeah! Well at least I don't fall for distractions! Get 'em Meiling and Ziden!" Diabolos spun around and swung his claws at Ziden who blocks it with a kick as Meiling leapt over Ziden and planted both of her feet in Diabolos' face, effectively slamming him into the ground. Meiling front-flips off of Diabolos' face and lands next to her Mistress. " Your turn, Patchy! Let him have it!" Patchouli charges up her spell as Diabolos got up and saw her.
" Lucky shot, girl. But luck only works once against me!" Diabolos shot a black orb at Patchouli which slammed her into the ground interrupting her spell. " It is time for to test your skills, hero. I sense that you have bonds with these girls, especially the magic caster and red head. I wonder if you can save them before I end their lives."
" Sorry, but you aren't killing my friends. The only thing you get is a sound ass-thrashing from me!" Ziden charged at Diabolos with a flurry of sword slashes. " Patchy! You all right?" Ziden asked while holding off Diabolos' claw with Crimson Edge.
" I'd be perfect if you guys could protect me while I'm casting!" Patchouli said as Ziden chuckled. " What's so funny, Ziden?"
" Nothing, Miss Sassy Pants! Meiling! Remilia! Protect Patchy while she's casting!" Ziden said as he clashed blows with Diabolos' claws.
" Got it! What are you going to do, Ziden?" Meiling asked she ran to Patchy to help her up.
" Me? I'm going to kick some ass and take some names! *Points palm at Diabolos* Dragon Buster!" Fire dragons flew out from Ziden's hand as they exploded against Diabolos' body sending him flying as Ziden jumped after him. Diabolos recovered and dive bombed at approaching Ziden who began to spin like a vertical buzzsaw with his leg stretched out. " Rampaging Skull Crusher!" Ziden slammed the heel of his foot into D's skull with a tremendous force slamming him into the ground creating a crater in the process.
Remilia was watching this with eager eyes as well as Patchouli and Meiling. " Talk about strength! I wish we could help instead of babysitting Patchy!" Remilia said as Patchouli slapped her in the back of the head. " Oww! What the hell, Patchy!"
" Stop complaining and start protecting me!" Patchouli said as started to cast some magic.
Back at Glitzville... ( Boss Music plays through this scene)
The group ended up heading to the juice bar and saw the fight with Diabolos on the black screen.
" So let me get this straight: Ziden is told that the Magic Lamp has bad magic coming from it and YET he still rubbed it!?" Yukari said with pure anger as everyone in the Juice bar backed away from her as Alice nodded her head. " Gahhhhhhh! Of course he did! Ziden NEVER thinks before he does something. Gods! If I wasn't Immortal, I'd have died from a heart attack years ago! And what the hell are you making, Alice?!" Someone unknown to the called her a 'Crazy Bitch', unfortunately she heard him and she opened up a gap underneath him. A few moments later, he come back with a look of terror on his face as pee puddled around his feet.
Alice lifted up a doll that looked disturbingly like Ziden. Marisa ran up and began to laugh at Alice. " OH my gods! You're falling for him too, aren't you?!"
" Nope." Alice began to continue stitching up the doll as Shanghai floated down to the table and watched as her 'little brother' was being finished.
" Hey Alice? I've noticed Shanghai moving around on her own. Have you done it." Reimu asked
" Sorta. Thanks to some books Marisa gave me, I found a spell that gave Shanghai and Hourai consciousness, but in order to fight I still have to control them. I was hoping Ziden could help me out." Alice said as Shanghai floated around looking at the group.
" So you don't have a crush on Ziden?" Marisa asked as Alice shook her head. Marisa looked over at Sora who was amazed by Shanghai moving by herself. She also noticed Reimu looking at him. Sora could feel eyes looking at him as he looked over to Reimu and Marisa only for them to look away and whistle nonchalantly.
Mokou was drinking a smoothie as she watched Ziden fight. She enjoyed the Mushroom-Mango Smoothie. "Well even though I don't like the guy, this adventure could be fun. To think a few days ago I was fighting Moon bitch like usual when that weird crack in space appeared. I saw him in it and leapt through it ready to fight him only to get killed by him and get dragged into a journey across worlds. Can't wait to tell Keine and her kid about this. Thinking about that kid reminds me of him. I wonder if he finished his training with his uncle J. I know Keine misses him. But it is sad that Ziden doesn't remember him or Keine... Man this is a good smoothie!" Mokou glanced over at Dante who was eating a Strawberry Sundae. " Jackass Demon Hunter."
Ike decided to head outside to spar with Youmu as Sakuya watched the fight worried about her Mistress and Teacher losing their lives to the unknown demon.
" So you guys get to sit around on clouds and record 'footage' and pictures on thosevideo camera things?" Aya was talking a creature known as a Lakitu.
" Yep. Of course when we Lakitu aren't recording footage, we usually bother Mario and Luigi during their adventures." The Lakitu bragged as the cloud underneath smiled.
" Can I take a picture of you guys for my newspaper?" The Lakitu nodded as Aya flew around them taking pictures as she did.
" Those girls are an interesting bunch. Yukari wasn't kidding when she said that the people from her land were strong!" Luigi said to himself as he looked at the Super Hammer he ordered in the mail. " I wonder what the other Smashers are up to. We may meet them on this journey through the worlds."
Back to the fight...
The fight seemed to be going in Ziden's favor until D decided to step up his attacks.
" Not bad, hero. Lets see if you can handle this. Demi!" D launched a black orb that expanded into an enormous size that slammed Ziden with alot of force that sent him flying.
" This guy can use magic!? All right time to go all out!" Ziden cracked his neck. " Patchy! Keep those spells coming, babe!"
" Don't call me babe, but sure! I'm on it!" Patchouli began to cast magic as Remilia ran over to Ziden.
" Hey I want in on the action too! Heart Break!" Remilia launched a red spear that exploded against D's face sending him flying back before he recovered. " Not done yet! Chain Gang!" She fires a red chain that wrapped around D and reeled him towards her as her claws glowed with a red aura. " Scarlet Slasher!" She performs a cross slash with her claws that caused D to cry out in pain. Ziden came up from behind and hit Diabolos' head with a horizontal kick that sent him flying as Patchouli finished her spell.
" Take this! Aqua Laser!" A magic circle formed that fired a lightning fast ball of water that slammed into Diabolos causing an explosion of water to form as Ziden gets hit by the splash damage. " Sorry Ziden! My bad!" Diabolos pointed his index finger at Patchouli ready to fire another Demi as Meiling drop-kicks him interupting his attack.
Diabolos let out a roar of anger as he glowed with a purple aura. " Ziden! It looks like he's about to do something big. Hit him with one of those final moves of yours! You can do it!" Meiling cheered for Ziden as he formed a ball with his hands as a black ball formed in it.
Diabolos flew in to the sky and formed a purple ball. " Die. Dark Messenger." He fires the purple ball as it expanded in size as Ziden finished charging his attack.
" The ultimate form of Space and Destruction! Black Hole Cannon!" Ziden thrusts his hands forward as it transformed into a purple beam that sucked in Dark Messenger and collided with Diabolos forming a purple vortex. Ziden raised his right hand into the air and pressed his thumb and middle finger together. " This is what happens to those who try and hurt my friends! Disappear!" He snaps his fingers causing the vortex to explode filling the sky with fire. A summon card fell into Remilia's hands as she laughed manically. The group of four found themselves back at the Juice bar as the crowd cheered for their victory.
Glitz Pit ( Paper Mario 2)
Alice ran up to Ziden and showed him the doll and asked if it was okay to make. Ziden nodded yes and petted both her and Shanghai on the head. Mario recieved another email from Mr. X.
" Head back to the Minor League and smash that yellow block." Mario read as the trio of competitors went into the room and did as they were told. Mario smashed the block and ran over to talk to King K.
Ziden and Meiling found a room behind the block and entered the room. " Hey ziden! What's that thing?" Meiling pointed to a computer that was resting on a desk.
" That's a computer." Ziden said as Meiling tilted her head.
" Uhhhh! I don't know what that is though." Ziden was dumbfounded by this.
" Man this Gensokyo place sounds like it has no technology at all. But I remember Yukari's house having power and stuff. Damn those military freaks wiping my memories of Gensokyo away. I can't even remember what Yukari's house looks like anymore." Meiling was poking Ziden as he poked her in her chest which she responded with a punch to his kidney. " Ackk! My kidney!* Falls down* The pain! Nice view though!" Meiling blushes as she walked up to the computer and saw some papers concerning things she didn't understand she handed them to Ziden who glanced over it. " These are pictures of the Crystal Star and something to do with a machine to use its power." Ziden walked out of the room and Ms. Jolene was there with an annoyed look on her as she snatched the papers out of his hand walked out. Mario told them about King K. retiring soon. They headed back to Major-League and saw Chun-Li asleep in one of the beds. Ziden decides to face the next opponent as he headed to the ring.
The group remained in the Juice Bar and watched the fights from there via the giant flatscreen T.V. which Yukari had to explain to the technologically illiterate members of the group.
Ziden approached the ring as Grubba stood in the ring motioning Ziden to come over to him. " Now then, son. Your opponent, The Hired Cherry Blossom Swordsman, is already at the battlegrounds waiting for you. He said that he has two things to give you before your fight with him. He also says that if you beat him, that will give you his power just like Ifrit and Diabolos did. Have fun and don't die! The guy's skilled with his sword." With that said Ziden found himself in an open grasslands.
Ziden took in the beauty of nature before he saw cherry blossom petal flying in behind him. He turns to see a cherry blossom tree on a cliff with a person waiting underneath it. The person was armored in orange armor with cape that was multi-colored with orange and purple. He had a weird hat that looked like a big bottlecap. Ziden saw that he had a Wakizashi and a large katana hanging from his waist. But Ziden noticed that a katana in a red sheathe and an orb with an eye in it that was sitting across from him. The man motioned for him to take the items.
Ziden picked up the katana and absorbed the orb. " What's your name, warrior?" Ziden asked as he drew the katana which looked to be made of fire.
"...Yojimbo." The man named Yojimbo stood up and walked over to the cliff motioning for Ziden to follow him. Ziden looked over the cliff and saw a ruined city in the distance.
" You want to fight there?" Yojimbo nodded as he leapt over to the city as Ziden heard Komachi's voice in his head.
" Ziden. Be careful around this guy. I sense he can keep up with your swordsmanship." Komachi said as Ziden stared at his re obtained sword.
" Nosada, I'm glad to have you back. Now if I just need to find your sister, Ama-no-Murakamo." As Ziden said the katana's name fire spiraled off the blade signaling its happiness to be back with its master.
Ziden leapt into the ruins of the city and saw Yojimbo with his Wakizashi out. " The name's Ziden Icrim. Its been awhile since I fought a samurai or any form of skilled swordsman. I hope you won't disappoint me! Lets do this!"
Boss Battle Theme ( Final Fantasy IV DS)
Ziden dashes at Yojimbo and performs a jumping slash attack which Yojimbo blocked with his sword causing a shockwave to spread through-out the city shattering windows in the process. Ziden continued this assault with a multitude of sword swings which Yojimbo dodged with ease. Yojimbo slams his smaller sword into Ziden's as he gets sent sliding back a few feet. Ziden comes at Yojimbo with a series of rolling kicks which hit their mark staggering him as Ziden did an upward slash attack only to be hit in the face with flat of Yojimbo's blade causing Ziden to stumble from the hit as Yojimbo gave Ziden a strong kick to the chest sending him into a wall. Ziden struggled to get free as he saw Yojimbo throwing several Kozuka at him as a shield of fire deflected them.
Ziden gets free from the wall and lands on his knee as he looked at Yojimbo. " The guy's got strength for sure! He's blocking my blows with just that short sword. That large katana he has... I'm scared to see what that bad boy can do, yet excited at the same time!" Ziden sheathes Nosada as he throws the sheathed sword at Yojimbo who dodges it only to see that Ziden was gone. Yojimbo turned to see Ziden unsheathing his sword in the air. " You fell for it, Mirage Slicer!" Ziden slams his sword into Yojimbo's sword, smashing it and sending him back a few feet.
" Show me what that big katana can do!" Yojimbo draws his sword as he practice swings it, slicing through several builings with ease shocking everyone.
" Holy crap, ze! He did that with one sword swing!" Marisa shouts
Ike and Youmu saw this as their jaws dropped. " Ike. Do you think Ziden could win this?"
" He will. Ziden is the type that never backs down from an opponent." Ike sits down on a bar stool.
" Come on, Ziden! Take that guy out!" Meiling screamed as everyone else sweatdropped.
" Are you not going to cheer for Ziden, Patchy?" Remilia asked while kicking her legs like a small child.
" There is no need. He WILL win." Patchouli said as she watched the screen as the two warriors stared each other down.
Reimu was thinking about something. " What the hell is Sanae and the others doing right now?"
Back on the Zeta Dreadnought ...
Nitori and Sanae were watching the T.V. which showed Ziden and friends adventuring through Rogueport. They now watch Ziden and Yojimbo's fight. Cirno enters the room and watches the fight as well.
" Man! The Outside World's technology is so advanced! I can't believe they already have spaceships!" Nitori said excitingly
" Actually, the island where Ziden is from is the only place with the technology to make ships like this! I can't wait to see his mansion!" Sanae said as she daydreamed. Cirno, being the fairy that she is, didn't understand anything that they were saying. Sanae, knowing that Cirno wouldn't understand, she explained it to her as simply as she can. An idea hit her head. " Nitori! Think you can get us down to Glitzville?"
Nitori thinks to herself for a bit and says. " Of course I can! I got Aya down there, didn't I? I'll even come with you guys!" Nitori began the preparations as they ran to the Teleportation Room.
Back to the Fight...
Dreadful Fight ( Final Fantasy IV DS)
Ziden dashed at Yojimbo as they clashed swords creating sparks to fly out from each sword collision. Ziden leapt back, slammed his right foot down as he twisted his body as he places Nosada behind as a blue energy enveloped it. " Get ready to eat it freak! Powerhouse Phoenix Wave!" Ziden shot out a blue sword wave that was shaped like a blue phoenix that flew out and exploded against Yojimbo causing a giant explosion. Ziden looks upon this with a happy sight until he saw wave after wave of sword waves. Ziden teleported and ran to avoid the onslaught of attack.
" Holy Shisa! Why are all of my opponents able to shoot out all these attacks!?" Ziden keeps running until he trips over a rock, which ended up saving his head as a sword wave flew past his head. " Whew. Talk about a close shave!...Oh crap." Yojimbo was standing over Ziden with his sword over his head. He swung it down as Ziden slammed his hands into the ground and kicked Yojimbo's sword completely halting his attack. " Pyro Launcher!" Ziden hits Yojimbo in the chin with a sharp, burning kick that launched him skyhigh. Ziden looked up at Yojimbo as he performed a flip as he rapid fire shot Kozukas at Ziden who panicked and dodged.
" God Dammit! Not this crap again! This is Chen all over again!" Ziden dashed into a building and bided time until Yojimbo stopped his assault. " Come on! Come on think Ziden, think! Hmmmmmmmm! Eureka! This could work!" Ziden opens a vortex in the ground that showed Yojimbo's back. Ziden was about to leap through it until Yojimbo started throwing Kozukas into the vortex which ended up stabbed by the knives as Yojimbo entered the vortex and hit Ziden with a strong horizontal slash that sent Ziden crashing through the wall.
Ziden recovered from the attack as he pulled the knives out his body while his wounds closed. Ziden saw that Yojimbo was gone from his line of sight. " Where did he go?" Ziden heard someone whistle as he looked up and saw Yojimbo standing on top a building. Ziden ran up the building as Yojimbo dived towards the advancing Ziden. Time seemed to have slowed down as the two opponents closed in on each other. They both swung their swords at each other causing a shock wave to destroy all the windows on the building.
Ziden got slammed to the ground from the recoil of the attack as Yojimbo landed on the ground with pure ease. Ziden gets up and ran over to a building and began to lift it up as he launched it Yojimbo.
Yojimbo saw this as an act of desperation and slashed through the building only to see Ziden coming through the slashed remains of the building. Ziden hit Yojimbo with a burning slash across the chest causing blood to spray out. " Gotcha!" Yojimbo slammed the hilt of his sword into Ziden's skull causing him to fall face first onto the ground. Yojimbo stabbed his sword through Ziden's stomach causing blood to pool on the ground.
Ziden slowly got up and and gripped his sword with both hands. " Infernal Wave!" Ziden launches a large wave of fire at Yojimbo who blocks the attack with a sword swing, canceling out Ziden's attack.
" Not done yet! Hell Fire Burst!" Ziden swings Nosada upwards releasing a giant ball of fire that slams into Yojimbo sending him back a few feet.
Ziden seemed to very tired out from the fight as did Yojimbo. " Yojimbo! It's time to end this!"
" Very well." Ziden raises his sword to sky as cherry blossom petals flowed from it as he places Nosada behind him. Yojimbo moves his sword in a circular pattern.
" Zan-" Ziden crouched down.
" Zan-" Yojimbo also crouched down. The wind blew between them as a tumbleweed rolled by them.
"-Tetsuken!"
"-Mato!"
Both warriors dashed through each other as a giant sword slash appeared between them. Ziden and Yojimbo stood still as they both sheathed their swords. A multitude of sword cuts appeared on Ziden causing Ziden's blood to spray out everywhere as he struggled to stay standing. Yojimbo, however did not get so lucky, as a single slash that wrapped around his body causing blood to spray out like a ring as he fell down unconscious.
Glitz Pit ( Paper Mario 2)
They returned to the ring as Ziden falls down. Meiling got to the ring as fast as she could and carried Ziden back to the Major- League locker room and placed him on the bed. Chun-li walkes over to check up on Ziden.
" He'll survive, but he won't be fighting for a bit." Chun-Li says as Ziden tried to sit-up only to be stopped by her.
" Hey, Chun-Li. How did you get here, anyway?" Ziden asked as Patchouli and Mario entered the room.
" Well. Back on our world, we've noticed some weird distortions coming from a mountain range near some place called the Hakurei Shrine. Interpol and the Shinra Organization members, Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu, went to this place and found a brown haired man with a large axe-like weapon there with white creatures around him. One of those Dimensional Cracks opened up sucking up me, Reiji and Xiaomu. I ended up here and I have no idea where those two are though."
Ziden scratched his chin as Patchouli sat down on the bed and started reading her book.
Ziden raises his hand as a vortex appeared showing them the image of a man with black hair ( top half is black, bottom half is white) and a scar on the right side of his head. The woman woman had fox ear and long yellow hair which turned into tails with black tips. They were fighting off people wearing blue cloaks and armor. Chun-Li was shocked at this. " What the- Why are Reiji and Xiaomu fighting Ultima Brigade members?!"
" The Ultima Brigade is back and we are going to deal with them, again." Chun-li pounded her fist into her palm. " Sorry Chun-Li, but we don't have any need for your help this time. I need to get back to earth and protect it while we're gone." A vortex appeared behind Chun-Li who got sucked into it.
" Mario and Meiling handle the fights while I rest up, okay?" They both nodded. Mario went to the ring and got ready for his fight. ( Ranks 8-6 will be skipped for the sake of time) Ziden to get up only for Patchouli to push him back down. " Come on, Patchy! I wanna sit up!"
" Too bad! You're injured and you need to rest, so go to sleep!" Patchouli said as she turned a page in her book.
" No way! I'm not falling asleep so that you can rape me in my sleep again!" Ziden got in the face with Patchouli's book.
Patchouli shifted her position on the bed so that she lay next to Ziden in a position so that she could not only read her book, but also stop Ziden from getting up. " So. How are you?"
" I'm fine. I mean an Ultima Brigade member attacked me using my asthma as a catalyst, only to get killed by Remi." Patchouli said as Ziden grabbed her arm.
" Who was it?" Ziden sounded concerned
" Some guy claiming to be your mortal enemy: Raijinmaru." Patchouli looked at Ziden with emotionless eyes.
" Meh, never heard of him!" Ziden chuckled as Patchy joined in.
" Don't worry about it!" She rubbed her hand across Ziden's face as he suddenly felt sleepy. " Sleep spell. Good night, Ziden." Ziden passed out as Patchouli went back to her book.
At the Ring...
Mario got ready for the Rank 5 fight.
" Alrighty Ladies and Gentlemen! The Great Gonzales is ready to take on a powerhouse of a opponent! The Blind Behemoth!" A large red koopa walked onto the stage.
" This is great! I get to take you on again, Mario!" BB said as a large fireball incinerate BB into a pile of ash. A great roar is heard.
"MMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR RRIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" A large koopa enters the stage as everyone except the girls began to panic.
The large turtle had sharp claws, pointy spikes on his back, black spike armbands on his arms. He had red spiky with brown horns. " So this is where you were! That's good cuz now I have an audience to watch me crush you!" The light teleported them to a grassy plain.
Mario assumed a battle stance. " All right, Bowser! Lets-a-go!"
King of the Koopas ( Paper Mario)
" Whirling Fortress!" Bowser retreats into his shell and spins at a fast speed as he tries to ram Mario only for Mario to jump over him. Bowser reacts by shooting fireballs at Mario who got hit in the back by them. " Sliding Punch!" Bowser dash punches Mario hard in the back sending him sailing across the plains.
Mario recovers and throws his Super Hammer at Bowser which hits him in the face. The hammer boomerangs back to Mario. Mario charged at Bowser as he hit him with a barrage of fists. " Mario Tornado!" Mario spins like a tornado with his arms stretched out, hitting and lifting Bowser into the air. Mario leaps up and grabs Bowser's tail as he threw Bowser down into the ground.
Bowser got up and charged at Mario with a headbutt that sent Mario skywards. " Shell Spinner!" Bowser retreated into his shell and spun at a rapid pace as Mario landed on it, getting cut in the process. Bowser stops the attack and punts Mario like a football. " Gwaahhahahhahah! Is that all you got Mario!?"
Mario gets up and pulls out a Fire Flower and absorbs it as his red shirt and hat turned white while his blue overalls turned red. Mario launched fireball after fireball at Bowser who sliced the fireballs in half with his claws. Mario dashed at Bowser and drop-kicked him in the face before hitting him with fiery punches.
Reimu, Marisa and Mokou have worried looks on their faces. " Don't worry! Mario will beat Bowser like he always does!" Luigi said.
Bowser uppercuts Mario in the chin sending him back a few feet. Mario pulls out his hammer. " Fire Drive!" Mario slams his hammer into the ground causing pillers of fire to rise hitting and burning Bowser. Mario runs to Bowser and crouches down. " Super Fire Jump Punch!" Mario wraps his right arm in fire and performs a jumping uppercut on Bowser lifting him into the air as coins fly out of Bowser.
Bowser grabs Mario and flips him upside down and power-bombs Mario with alot of force causing a large crater as Mario lost his power-up. " Not so strong now, are you plumber?!" Bowser throws Mario out of the crater as he dashed out of the Crater.
" Bowser Bomb!" Bowser leaps into the air and ground pounds on Mario into the earth. " Flying Slam!" Bowser picks up Mario and flips into the air before positioning Mario underneath him as he slammed down into the earth crushing Mario beneath him. Bowser grabs Mario by his throat and began to choke him. Mario kicked Bowser hard in the face and breaks free from his grip. Mario looks completely exhausted.
" That's enough! Yukari! Can you open a gap for us to go help Mario?" Reimu saw Yukari wave her hand as a gap appeared in front of them. " Thanhs Yukari!" Reimu, Marisa and Mokou leapt into gap.
" Yukari? Do you think they can win against this Bowser creature?" Sakuya asked as Yukari was deep in thought. Sakuya sighs and decides to check up on Ziden.
" What's going on? Bowser wasn't this strong when Mario and Luigi last fought him. He must have trained himself ragged. I do hope those three will be alright after this"
" What's the matter Mario?! Running out of steam!?" Bowser laughed while pounding his fists together. Bowser looks up and sees a gap opening up as Reimu, Marisa and Mokou descended to the ground.
" Reimu! Marisa! Mokou!" Mario said he stopped himself from falling over.
" Lets see how tough you are when its 4 against 1, turtle boy!?" Reimu said as she took out her Gohei.
" Fine by me! More people I get to stomp on!" Bowser dashed at the girls as they scattered to dodge his attack. Bowser breathes fire as Mokou countered with a stream of fire leaving Bowser in shock. " Great! You're like that spiky haired freak!"
" Don't compare me to Ziden, turtle boy! Flame Crescent!" Mokou swings her arm as a crescent shaped wave of fire blasted Bowser back.
" Grrrrrrr! Whirling Fortress!" Bowser performs a spinning shell attack that hits Mokou and knock her away. Bowser turns to Mario. " Sliding Punch!" Bowser slides forward only be jump-kicked in the face by Reimu and Mokou causing him to go flying.
" Mario! Leave him to us!" Reimu said as Mario shook his head. Mario reached into his overalls and pulled out a mushroom as he proceeded to eat it. His wounds and scratches disappeared. " Healing Mushrooms?"
Mario threw a feather into the air and caught it as he now donned a yellow cape. " Get ready, Bowser! Now its your turn to get the beating!" Mario ran at Bowser as he took flight and hit Bowser with a flying tackle.
" My turn! Magic Missile!" Marisa shot three green bullets out of her hand as exploded against Bowser.
" Grrrrrrr! Time to test my new moves!" Bowser retreats into his shell as he breathed fire out the holes while spinning very fast making look like a wheel of fire. " Burning Fortress!" He dashes forward knocking Mario away as he made his way to Reimu.
" Cautionary Border!" Reimu summons a blue barrier that completely stops his attack.
" What the-?! These girls are worst than those annoying plumbers!" Bowser begins punch the barrier repeatedly as she fell to her knees from exhaustion.
" Narrow Spark!" A long beam blasts Bowser in the side and knocks him away from Reimu. Marisa runs over to Reimu and helps her to feet. " Get up, ze! The fight's just getting started!"
Bowser gets up and sees Mokou, with her hands on fire and behind her, running towards him. " Phoenix Palm Strike!" She slams her palms into Bowser's chest as a hot shock wave pierced through his body as he flew backwards.
" Come on, guys! We're gonna kick this guy's ass!" Mokou said as Bowser laughed.
" You sound just like him! But winning won't be that easy! Goomba Squad, Round-Up!" A very large number of Goombas appear behind him.
"...That's not good." Reimu said everyone sweatdropped.
Back at the Major-League locker room...
Glitz Pit ( Paper Mario 2)
Ziden woke and found his shirt and jacket were replaced by white bandages. Ziden looks over and sees Patchouli looking at Big-Screen T.V.. Ziden sits up only to be stopped by Patchouli. " How's Mario going?"
" It never started. Some guy named Bowser killed his opponent. Now Reimu, Marisa, Mokou and Mario are taking him on." Patchouli closes her book and turns to look at Ziden.
" You know. I'd heal much faster if I was snuggling with a nicely shaped woman!" Ziden tries to hug Patchouli only to get punched in the face by her. " OW!* rubs nose* You know for a bookworm you hard pretty hard!"
" Something tells me I'm going to be doing that alot this journey." Patchouli sighs as she sees Sakuya entering the room. " Here to visit Ziden, Sakaya?" She nods her head. " Don't mind me!"
" Master Ziden? I wanted to see if you were all right?" Ziden had a tick mark form on his forehead.
" I'm fine, 'little girl'!" Ziden said as a tick mark formed on her forehead. Ziden motioned for her to sit down. She did and sat down to watch the fight.
" Ziden. We need to talk about something." Sakuya's face turned serious. Ziden knew what was she going ask.
After an intense battle with Yojimbo, Ziden finds himself injured and in the hands of Patchouli. Ziden learns that the King of Koopas, Bowser, has attacked Mario and is now getting ready to go another round. But now has do something to do something that he does not want to do...
Author's Note: This was a fun chapter to do. The next few Ranked matches will be against famous characters from Various animes/games. Also I have finalized the members for the 12 Beings of Darkness. If you want to see a favorite character of yours appear in the Glitz Pit, send me a P.M. Leave a review if you are enjoying this story so far. Also I did not forget about Yojimbo giving Ziden his power. He will receive it later.
Luigi
First Appearance: Super Mario Bros.
Fighting Style: Very odd. He has an odd moveset.
History: Luigi is Mario's younger brother. He is not as well known as his brother. In fact, it could be said that he lives in his brother's shadow. He can, however, jump higher than Mario and is taller than Mario. He is also very timid and has a tendency to run away from fights. He helped Mario to destroy the Dark Star. He has saved Mario on several occasions. Also he wields the power known as Thunderhand.
