Smash Brothers Civil War

Chapter 11: Rebel Hideout

[Pro-Reg]

Smash Tower Briefing

The civil war between the Smashers was initiated as supporters of the registration act would fight against rebels that deny the registration as passed law. In this brief moment of terror, the citizens were evacuated by government troops, knowing that the civil war was too dangerous for civilian casualties to occur. Only military personnel was allowed into the city, as they predicted that most of the fighting would occur only in the city itself.

The registrants held a quick brief meeting about the location of the rebels. Samus, in her zero suit, discussed a possible plan for action. "Thanks to Falco's technical expertise and hacking skills, we were able to pinpoint the location near the Port of Smash City. If there are suspicious guards entering and exiting somewhere around the port, then that's their base's entrance point", said Samus.

"The plan is to storm the hideout and capture the leading rebels. I looked into this area and discovered their base could be deep in the city's sewers. The way I see it; there are two ways we can hit the base at both sides: through the main entrance in the docks and the entrance from the sewers", said Captain Falcon.

"Me, Cap, Marth, and the goddess will handle the front entrance. Falco, Sonic, Peach, and Lucina will attack in the sewers", ordered Samus.

"Aww, I don't want to get my new dress wet", whined Peach.

"I've been through worse than sewers, princess. Just be lucky we're not going into a nasty lab full of old, vile, disgusting...uh, the rest is history", said Samus when she paused when Peach was disgusted.

"Enough of this chit-chat. We might as well get in position to attack them now. Speaking of which, why am I going through the sewers when there could be something to hack to get past?", asked Falco.

"Um hello? Expert hacker right here. Besides, you've got explosive weapons to gain access to the base and trust me, Fox's hacking skills are nothing compared to mine", said Samus with an attitude.

"You've never known him", said Falco.

"So? It doesn't matter. We have to take them down for disobeying the law and turning their backs on the people", said Samus.

"I don't want to do this, but sometimes we have to do what's right", said Sonic.

"Yeah, but sometimes what's right isn't right for everyone. I can't believe my own leader and friend would fight against the law", said Falco.

"Fuzzy wouldn't betray us like that. I know he's not doing what's right", said Peach.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. You three and Lucina should get a headstart", Samus ordered Peach, Falco, Sonic, and Lucina as everyone silently agreed.

Rebel Hideout Briefing

Mario recruited his best friend Yoshi and younger brother Luigi, in which neither of them signed the act at the time. Mario made a quick address after Fox told them that the registrants found their base.

"Everyone, we have some trouble right now. No doubt they found our base already. Our soldiers will guard the front entrance and the sewer entrance", said Mario.

"Yoshi and Luigi will help guard the sewers. Zelda, you will handle the front and defend. Ike will cover Fox in the interior of the base here", said Mario. "Good luck everyone. I'll try to control the situation outside the base from here."

"I'll help you in any way, my friend", said Ike to Fox when getting into position.

"Thanks. Let's make sure to drive them out", stated Fox.

"Well at least I won't be stuck in the sewage parts", said Zelda in relief.

Rebel Hideout Safe Harbor

The rebels guarded the entrance during the early evening hour, around past sunset. The registrants used covert stealth to get past rebel soldiers unnoticed. Samus whispered to her teammates and the others via smartphone.

"Alright, people. On my signal...3...2...1...NOW!", Samus initiated the fight.

Samus, Falcon, and several government soldiers assisting them fired at the rebel soldiers using powerful guns. "Push them back into a corner!", yelled a rebel.

"Insurgency in the area. Hundreds of possible targets. Calling for backup. Over", said a government soldier.

"Don't worry about it. We're all you've got", said Samus. The government soldier brushed off the comment and called in paramilitary forces on standby.

Marth wore protective body armor to resist gunfire as he sliced through his opponents and destroyed their weapons. He grinned as he finished more of the rebels. The team pushed forward and ran through the worn down factories and warehouses of the port. The main entrance of the hideout was exposed when dozens of troops came out from there.

"There we go. Lead us to the nest", said Samus as the registrants charged into the entrance. Samus fired her zero laser and wiped them out. "These soldiers are nothing compared to us." However, they were locked outside from getting underground where the rebels were.

"Shoot! The entrance is protected by a force field. The only we're getting in is shutting down the power within the base", said Samus in frustration. She called up the Delta Squad, the team fighting in the sewers. "Team, it's up to you to infiltrate the inner base and shut down its power so we can get inside", said to the other team in the sewer via call.

"You're right about not getting in. Not through me, you are", Zelda stated as she revealed herself from one of the warehouse gates.

"Nice joke, elf. Got any more remarks?", smirked Samus.

"You'll have to get past me first", said Zelda.

"Short clique, but I'll take it as an insult", Samus remarked.

Rebel soldiers rapidly came to Zelda's aid and a fight began.

The Sewers

"This place is dirty and stinky. I wish I wasn't here right now", complained Peach. Peach, Lucina, Falco, and Sonic, along with several government military soldiers, trekked the unbearable sewers underground to reach the interior of the rebel hideout.

"Quit talking, alright. We have to get inside that base. Knowing my ex-leader, he probably wants to look for a fight", said Falco.

"So, you're leading us now? Not that I mind", said Lucina with a slight smile.

"Hey, I feel like it since my boss became 'evil'. After all, I know what that's like", said Falco.

"C'mon everyone. Hope you can keep up", said Sonic as he dashed through the sewers and everyone began to sprint, trying not to slip and fall. The Smashers discovered the entrance into the inner base.

"Yes! We're here. But my dress is...icky", said Peach, catching her breath.

"Sorry about doing this, my friends", Yoshi echoed as he dropped below from a sewer pipe. The rebel soldiers came from different sides of large sewer gaps and Luigi followed suit.

"Do I have to do this?", said Luigi in fear.

"We can't let them get inside", shouted Yoshi as he took a fighting stance.

"Then what are we waiting for. Let's fight em", said Falco as he took out his automatic pistol.

"Alright, bring it on", said Sonic before dashing in to fight.

"Sonic. I expected more from you than to join another choice", spoke Yoshi.

"Did it look like I had any other choice?", Sonic replied.

"There's always a choice", said Yoshi.

"Sure. But yours is definitely out of the answer", Sonic retorted.

"I won't feel as bad after this", Yoshi got ready to fight.

Interior Base Entrance

Zelda used her magic to defend herself while the soldiers attacked the team. "Do not let them get past this door!", she said.

While they were fighting, Samus went to Palutena and asked, "Palutena, can you do something about that 'magical' force field?"

"Yes", she answered as she tried to stop Zelda with her magic.

Palutena fired with her goddess powers, which obviously outclassed Zelda's elfin magic. The magic pushed Zelda against the wall and knocked her unconscious.

Marth finished off the rest of them and spat on the floor while saying, "Anata wa yowaidesu. (You're weak.)". The registrants captured Zelda and the soldiers were ordered to arrest her. Zelda was taken and said nothing afterwards.

"You guys take it from here while the rest of gets inside. Hey, birdbrain, how's getting into the base coming along?", said Samus over her phone.

The Sewers

"Could be better. We'll get inside as soon as we finish knocking some heads", said Falco as he jumped and evade enemy attacks while speaking. He pulled out some smart bombs and threw them at the opponents which caused most of them to go down. Sonic dashed right through and met eyes with Yoshi and exchanged fists and kicks.

"I don't want to do this", said Sonic as he was punching rapidly.

"Me neither", said Yoshi as he dodged the attacks.

Peach carefully passed through defenses and quickly shouted, "Falco, throw me a bomb!". He leaped up forward and threw the smart bomb at Peach. She set the bomb on the entrance doors and ducked for cover while everyone was distracted. The doors were soon open, revealing the interior base. Lucina finished off the last of the rebels with her blade.

"I'm sorry about this, my friend, but you left me no option", said Sonic as he knocked out Yoshi in a critical blow to his green dinosaur head.

"Know this...we will...win this war if not the battle", said Yoshi before he drifted into unconsciousness. Luigi surrendered and reinforcements from the government stormed in to take the rebels.

"We'll take it from here. Just continue on", said a soldier in a serious tone.

"You heard em'. We gotta go inside and open the other entrance", commanded Sonic.

"It was fun while it lasted", sighed Falco.

"Don't worry. Maybe next time?", said Lucina almost cheerfully. The registrants ran around the rebel hideout and almost found no resistance. They soon reached the higher level to get to the other entrance.

Interior Base Entrance

"Looks like we can take down the forcefield from here", said Falco as he used his cell phone to encrypt the password to shut down the shield.

From the other side, Samus called Peach and said, "I can hear you guys on the other side. Good, now open the gate"

"We're close to turning off the forcefield, dear", replied Peach. Soon, the forcefield was down and the gates opened.

"About time. Now let's head to the interior base", ordered Samus as she and the rest of the team headed inside.

Rebel Hideout Briefing

Meanwhile, the rebels discussed an evacuation plan. Members of the Mushroom Star, Mario's rebel army, informed the rebel Smashers of the situation at hand.

"Sir, they've broke through our defenses. Princess Zelda, Yoshi, and your brother Luigi have all been captured. What are we going to do?", the Mushroom Star soldier seemed in distress.

"Continue to fight. We won't let them win", explained Mario.

"Mario, you gotta escape. We can't risk you getting captured", said Fox.

"No, I'm not leaving you guys", argued Mario.

"We'll be alright. Me and Ike will handle them. It'll be just enough to hold them off so you can get out", said Fox.

"I-...Very well. Best of luck, my friends", said Mario as he ran for an alternate exit.

"I'll guard the door leading here and you hold ground here", said Ike when going to his location. The rebels had to defend the base long enough so Mario can escape capture.
