A TAIL OF FIVE FURRIES

Chapter 12: Final Battle

Dimentio appeared.

"I forgot about Dimentio!" said Fox.

"Guess what?" said Dimentio. "Humperdinck wasn't the one who gave Zant his power. Zant was the one who recruited him. A more powerful ghost gave him his power, and I will take his power from Zant and use him as the final sacrifice. Whether he beat you or lost to you, I'd have this evil spirit back to his old self. Either way, it didn't matter."

"TRAITOR!" said Zant.

Dimentio created an energy box around Zant. "Ciao!" he said, and snapped his fingers. Zant exploded. Dimentio absorbed Zant's energy into an orb in his hand, and released the energy from the orb. He grabbed Fawful's headgear, which he had secretly taken after his death, and sucked out some of Krystal's energy and used it with the orb.

"Krystal's energy?" said Fox.

"So then Ganondorf didn't return as a ghost after Link defeated him," said Krystal, who had not had much energy drained from her.

"Then that can only mean one thing," said Fox.

A disembodied head appeared with two hands.

"Andross!" said Fox.

"I am reborn!" said Andross. "And I will destroy you, and then the Lylat System!"

"Sorry to disappoint you," said Dimentio, "but I will possess you now so I can become the king of all worlds!"

Andross reached out with one hand and punched Dimentio into a wall. "I will take orders from no one!" he said.

Fox threw two capsules that turned into arwings. They hopped into the arwings with Lucario and Tails riding them.

"I'll handle Dimentio," said Renamon, and she ran over to him and battled him.

Fox and Krystal shot at Andross's hands while Andross raised them and shot energy waves at them. With both Fox and Krystal fighting together, however, Andross's hands were destroyed.

"Darn!" said Andross. "One fox was hard enough!"

"He killed you the last time," said Lucario. "And plus Tails and I are riding their arwings! If we win this time, you're a monkey's uncle!"

"But I AM a monkey's uncle!" said Andross, and he opened his mouth and spit meteors at the Arwings.

"I know," said Lucario as he shot energy orbs at the meteors to destroy them.

Meanwhile, Renamon used Power Paw and charged at Dimentio. He teleported behind her and shot a sparkling energy ball at her back.

"It is inevitable," said Dimentio. "I will possess Andross and use his power to bring about Judgment Day! That is what the prophecy said! Humperdinck predicted it!"

Taking Dimentio by surprise, Renamon charged at him and punched him in the face, knocking him back into a wall.

"Nothing is decided entirely by fate," said Renamon. "We are all responsible for our own destinies."

And with another Diamond Storm, Renamon vaporized Dimentio.

Meanwhile, Fox and Krystal tried everything but could not damage Andross. Andross opened his mouth and began to suck Fox and Krystal in.

"Is this the part where Falco shows up?" said Tails.

But there were no other Arwings in this big room in the Palace of Twilight. Falco, Peppy, and Slippy were flying through the dimensions that were warping up, and Andross was sucking Fox, Krystal, Lucario, and Tails closer to his mouth.

Then three missiles hit Andross in the head and he stopped his attack. He looked over. The Terminator, Rambo, and McClane stood there with rocket launchers in their hands.

"Get out," the Terminator said to Andross.

Krystal flew down near Renamon. She knew Dimentio was dead because she could no longer sense his presence. Renamon jumped up on the right wing of Krystal's Arwing. Lucario was on the left wing.

They faced Andross again. Andross opened his mouth to suck them in. Renamon used Diamond Storm, and the diamond shards entered Andross's mouth. They exploded inside him, turning his head transparent and leaving his brain vulnerable.

"Attack his brain!" said Fox, and he and Krystal shot at the brain as quickly as they could. Tails shot energy balls at Andross's brain and Lucario shot a powerful Aura Storm at the brain.

Andross never had any time to recover from Renamon's Diamond Storm. He quickly succumbed to Fox, Krystal, Lucario, and Tails's attacks. His face distorted and he exploded in a nuclear explosion. Fox and Krystal got clear of the explosion as quick as they could. The Terminator pressed a button to turn on a shield device, protecting himself, Rambo, and McClane from the explosion.

The world was thrown back into balance. Fox and Krystal landed their Arwings in the middle of the room. Then, Midna, the Twilight Princess appeared.

"At last, the evil has been destroyed," said Midna. "Now, thanks to you, the worlds are safe once again, and I am restored to my throne as Twilight Princess."

"My scanners indicate that Judgment Day has been prevented for good," said the Terminator. "I shall return to my time now."

"Thank you for saving me from that demon," said Renamon. "Ghost" just didn't do that demonic skull justice.

"I told you I'd be back," said the Terminator.

And the three of them walked away.

"Those three guys look so cool together," said Tails.

"I agree," said Midna. "But you know what's also cool? Seeing the five of you foxes together."

And so Midna was the leader of the Twili again. Fox and Krystal returned to the Great Fox and destroyed the aparoids, although Andrew Oikonny was caught in the crossfire and killed. Renamon fought the evil Pukamon, while Lucario returned to the land of Spear Pillar. Tails went back to race alongside Sonic and Knuckles.

THE END

And you were expecting the evil behind Zant to be Ganondorf, like in Twilight Princess... btw does anyone get the significance of the Terminator, Rambo, and McClane together? (think Terminator, Rambo, and Die Hard)

Benks, Jirk, Bunkheff and his brothers, and the pirates that attacked Renamon are my characters so you won't recognize them anywhere (exception being Scuz, who is the first mate of some pirates in an episode of Pokemon). So are Bokchow, Bokchoy, SaberMyotismon (though inspired by Myotismon and SaberLeomon), and Humperdinck, not to be confused with Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride.
