Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong continued ducking and weaving their way as they dodged blaster shots that were coming from and enraged Fox. The two Kong's didn't know what had overcome their friend, but Donkey Kong was more than sure that Diddy's prank was enough to send off the alien vulpine. A blaster bolt nearly hit Donkey Kong in the head as Fox ran after them, his eyes full of hate and his facial expressions were that of violence as he continued firing.
"GET BACK HERE ANDROSS! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!", Fox yelled as he used his Fox Illusion and punched Diddy Kong in the chest, sending him flying into a retreating Donkey Kong, causing both of them to go flying along the hallway as they scidded across the floor. As Donkey Kong and Diddy were getting back on their feet, Fox came running and jumped into the air and kicked Diddy in the chest as the monkey went flying. But before Donkey Kong could rescue his nephew, Fox ran over and tackled him before pummeling in the face with a flurry of punches.
"YOU'LL HAVE WISHED YOU STAYED DEAD COMPARED TO HOW I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!", Fox yelled as he continued punching Donkey Kong in the face, the gorilla stated bleeding through the nose as Fox continued his assault. Donkey Kong then let out a growl as he reared back his fist and punched Fox in the face, the sheer power of the punch was able to knock Fox off of him and sent him flying back and land on the floor face first. Fox then stood up and put his hand up to his mouth as the single punch was enough to make Fox bleed from his mouth. Fox then pulled out his blaster and was about to fire when Diddy Kong came flying out of nowhere and kicked Fox in the chest. Fox stumbled backwards and dropped his blaster as Donkey Kong charged forward and punched Fox in the chest with a charged up punch. Fox then crumbled in Donkey Kong's fist as he blinked a few times before letting out a groan.
"Ugh...what happened?", the pilot asked. Donkey Kong then stepped back and blinked a few times in disbelief. He then looked over at Diddy, who also looked at him before both looked at Fox who was groaning in pain.
"DIE RIDLEY!", Samus shouted as she let a missile loose from her arm cannon as the space pirate flapped his wings and dodged just as the missile hit the wall, destroying the structure. Ridley then laughed maniacally at Samus as he swooped down and tried to punch her, but Samus was too fast. Samus ducked underneath the punch as she retaliated with a kick to the stomach, making Ridley cry out in pain. Samus then kicked the feet from underneath Ridley and rolled out of the way as Ridley's large body crashed into the ground. Samus then stood up and kicked Ridley in the chest, sending Ridley into the wall, breaking away the mansion's foundations. Ridley then glared at Samus before opening his mouth and sending a plasma blast towards her. Samus then used her acrobatics to dodged the blast as Ridley stood up. Suddenly, a couple of groans could be heard as Ridley looked to the side and saw Popo and Nana lying on the ground in pain. Ridley then smirked evilly as he picked up the two and turned around towards Samus. Samus's eyes then widened in horror as Ridley tightened his grip, making Popo and Nana scream in pain.
"Time for a snack!", Ridley exclaimed as he shoved Popo in his mouth and began chewing him as blood began to run out of his mouth. Nana screamed in horror as she saw Popo's disfigured face being chewed up before Ridley swallowed and looked hungrily at her. Samus was about to shoot a another missile when Ridley quickly brought Nana up and chomped on her body, tearing her in half and grinding her in his mouth before swallowing. He then gave out a loud belch as Samus stood frozen in horror.
"Don't worry little eskimo girl, you're with your brother now!", Ridley said to his stomach for the now digesting girl to hear before he gave out an evil laugh. Samus then gritted her teeth as she finally let loose of her charge shot and hit Ridley square in the chest, sending him down the hallway, leaving his body burnt to a crisp. Samus then walked slowly as she charged up another shot while Ridley tried to crawl away in vain.
"Time to die monster...", Samus said coldly as she aimed her cannon at the pirate.
"OH MAN! WHAT DID I DO!?", Pit yelled to himself as he dodged a couple of blade beams that were sent forth from Cloud's Buster Sword as Cloud chased the angel in extreme rage. Cloud then drew his Buster Sword back and sent another blade beam out as Pit narrowly dodged in time as a steel pipe was cut in half. Cloud then picked his sword up as he chased on foot for Pit.
"GET BACK HERE SEPHIROTH! YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME!", Cloud yelled as Pit spreaded his wings out and used what little power of flight he could use and flew up to a higher platform before hiding himself behind some steel pipes as Cloud ran up the stairs leading toward the second level. Pit began to sweat as Cloud readied his Buster Sword and walked slowly over to where Pit was. Pit put his hand over mouth to quiet the noise of his hyperventilating as Cloud drew nearer and nearer. Soon, Cloud then looked over towards another direction and carefully walked out of Pit's sight as Pit tried his best to remain still. Soon, Cloud was gone from Pit's view and silence soon filled the room. After waiting for a minute, Pit quietly pulled out his cellphone and turned the noise to zero as he began dialing Palutena's number as sweat began to pour off him profusely. Pit then turned up the volume by one click as he heard a faint ring be heard from his phone. Pit then put his phone next to his ear as he prayed to himself that Palutena would pick up.
"Hello, who is this?", Pit heard from the other side of the phone. Pit then gave a brief sigh as he crouched down and whispered his words.
"Lady Palutena, it's me, Pit! Cloud has been acting strange and scary of all the sudden and I need help!", Pit whispered to his goddess.
"AHA!", Pit suddenly heard as he turned around and saw Cloud rushing towards him, swinging his sword at a horizontal slice as Pit screamed and dodged in enough time. Cloud then began swinging his sword violently as Pit began dodging left and right in order to remain in one piece.
"PALUTENA, SAVE ME!", Pit screamed as he was about to draw his blades. However, Cloud swung his sword and knocked the blades out of Pit's hands. Cloud then did a side-kick to Pit's chest, sending the angel against a large machine used in the electric plant. Cloud then lunged forward and swiped at Pit's body and missed by an inch as Pit moved a foot to the left, missing the edge of the blade. Pit then gulped as he tightened his fist and gave out cry.
"PLEASE DON'T LET HIM BE ANGRY! PLEASE DON'T LET HIM BE ANGRY! PLEASE DON'T LET HIM BE ANGRY!", Pit repeated over and over as he punched Cloud in the face, making the SOLDIER stumble a bit as Pit pushed the Buster Sword out of his hands then grabbed Cloud's shoulders before shaking him.
"CLOUD! CLOUD! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?", Pit yelled as Cloud's head rolled side to side from Pit's violent shaking. After a few seconds, Cloud then rubbed his head before looking at Pit.
"Huh? Pit?"
Fox was making sure his worst enemy aside from Wolf wasn't getting away, he was going to kill Andross here and let his blood stain the carpet. The scientist had just killed some of his friends like Mario and Ryu brutally with cutting their hearts out. Even worse, he had just killed the love of his life, making him even more furious then before. Fox continued shooting at the retreating monkey as Andross let out some evil laugh back at the mercenary. Fox then felt all of his rage take over him as he focused himself.
"GET BACK HERE ANDROSS! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!", Fox yelled as he used his Fox Illusion and caught the monkey off guard. Fox then rammed his fist in the monkey's chest as Andross went flying backwards and landed on stomach as Fox put his blaster back into his case. He was going to finish Andross off with his bare fists. Andross then got back onto his feet as Fox ran over and jumped and kicked Andross in the chest as Andross fell back a few feet. Before Andross could regain full balance on his feet, Fox ran over and tackled him and began to assault him with punches to the face as Fox growled in rage.
"YOU'LL HAVE WISHED YOU STAYED DEAD COMPARED TO HOW I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!", Fox yelled as he continued punching the scientist. Andross let out a couple of painful whines as blood came out of his nose before he growled and drew back his fist and punched Fox in the face hard enough to send him flying back a few feet before landing on the ground face first. Fox then stood up before tasting the metallic taste in his mouth and put his hand to his mouth and seeing that blood was coming out. Fox then looked back at Andross with amazement.
"WHERE DID HE GET THAT STRENGTH FROM!?", Fox thought to himself before pulling out his blaster again. However, Andross was too quick and jumped into the air and snapped-kicked Fox in the chest, making him lose balance and dropping his blaster. Andross then charged forward and punched Fox in the chest. Fox tightened up as he felt a sharp pain build up as his vision went dizzy and Andross's figure seemingly morphed. After a few seconds and blinking, he no longer saw Andross, but Donkey Kong whose fist was there instead of Andross's. Fox then let out a groan of pain as he crumbled in Donkey Kong's fist.
"Ugh...what happened?", Fox asked as he saw Donkey Kong step back and blinked a few times before turning towards Diddy, who also appeared out of nowhere. They both looked at each other confusedly as they looked back at Fox as he groaned in pain and curled himself into a ball and held onto his chest.
"Ugh...why did you punch me DK?", Fox asked as he let out another groan. Donkey Kong then shook his head and jaw dropped when heard what Fox asked. DK then grunted as Diddy made some loud noises while Fox looked at them confusedly.
"Wait a minute...is Mario alright? Is Ryu as well? Please tell me th...wait, where's Samus?", Fox asked frantically as he tried to stand up, only to drop back onto one knee in pain as blood continued flowing from his mouth. Fox then looked up and saw that blood was also coming out of Donkey Kong; however, it was coming out of DK's nose.
"Wait, why are you...", Fox started.
"What's-a going on!?", suddenly someone yelled as the three looked behind them and saw Mario, Luigi, and Megaman running up to them. Fox then widened his eyes as he saw the red cladded plumber come up to him.
"MARIO! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!", he yelled as Mario gave him a puzzled look.
"But I-a always am.", Mario stated.
"Wait a minute, is Ryu okay?", Fox asked as Megaman nodded his head.
"Yes, but...", Megaman started.
"And Samus, where is she!?", Fox asked as he put his hand on Mario's shoulder. Mario blinked a few times before grabbing Fox's hand and taking it off his shoulder.
"Fox, what-a is wrong?", Mario asked.
BOOM!
The smashers then jumped as they heard a noise coming from a few hallways down as they heard a familiar villain cry out in pain. They then widened their eyes as they realized what the noise was.
"That was-a Samus's charge shot!", Luigi yelled. Luigi and Mario then helped Fox onto his legs as they began running down the hallway to where the noise had come from.
"Well, at least we'll-a see what has happened to Samus.", Mario said to Fox as they rounded the corner and looked on in horror at what they saw as Samus aimed her arm cannon at a beaten up Bowser.
All Cloud could feel right now was rage, a fiery, unquenchable rage as he chased after his arch-nemesis while Sephiroth continued giving him that smirk with those evil eyes of his. Cloud let out some blade beams in hope ofHope of catching the One-Winged Angel off guard, but to no such luck as Sephiroth dodged them with ease. Cloud then sent another blade beam out to hit Sephiroth in the face, only for Sephiroth to dodge and cut a steel pipe in half. Cloud then brought his Buster Sword forward and charged at Sephiroth who merely smirked at Cloud's actions.
"GET BACK HERE SEPHIROTH! YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME!", Cloud yelled as Sephiroth jumped up to the second platform and drew back from Cloud's vision. Cloud then grunted in annoyance as he ran up the stairs to the second platform, only to find that it was covered with steel pipes in all directions. Cloud then readied his sword in front of him as he walked slowly, making sure he wouldn't be caught off guard by a sneak attack from Sephiroth. Cloud continued walking forward until he turned his head and saw another pathway going down to another row of steel pipes. Cloud then walked in that direction as he tuned his body to remain as quiet as possible so that he could hear a pin drop. Cloud then walked further down until he heard a scuffle from where he had originally came. Cloud the sneaked over to the other side from where he first came and saw Sephiroth crouched on one knee with his katana ready to be drawn for the SOLDIER. Cloud wasted no time as he charged forward at his unsuspecting foe.
"AHA!", Cloud yelled as he zoomed forward and saw Sephiroth look back and watch in shock as he caught him off guard. Cloud then sliced horizontally down as Sephiroth jumped back in time to not be sliced. Cloud then flew a flurry of sword swings as Sephiroth tried to dodge everyone and not counter. Sephiroth then was finally able to grab his sword, but Cloud was ready for that. Cloud swung his Buster Sword and knocked Sephiroth's katana blade off balance as Sephiroth staggered back. Seizing this opportunity, Cloud then side-kicked Sephiroth in the chest, sending flying back into a large machine. Cloud then lunged forward and swung his sword as Sephiroth jumped out of the way, missing the edge that would end his life. Sephiroth then pulled his fist back and punched Cloud in the face. Cloud staggered back as he tried to regain balance; however, Sephiroth then pushed the Buster Sword out of Cloud's grip, making Cloud lose his weapon. But what happened next threw Cloud completely off guard, Sephiroth then grabbed Cloud's shoulders and began violently shaking him.
"CLOUD! CLOUD! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?", Sephiroth yelled as Cloud felt his head roll back and forth on his shoulders as he felt his vision get smaller and smaller from all of the shaking. However, after a few seconds, his vision immediately came back and Cloud then saw that instead of Sephiroth shaking him, it was Pit. Cloud then blinked a few before rubbing his head and looking at Pit.
"Huh? What?", Cloud asked as Pit's face looked like he was suffering from a heart attack. That's when Cloud noticed all of the sweat coming off of Pit as if Pit had just come home from a walk in the Sahara Desert.
"What? Pit, what are you doing here?", Cloud asked as Pit suddenly blinked and let out a heavy sigh.
"OH THANK PALUTENA! YOU AREN'T ATTACKING ME ANYMORE!", Pit exclaimed before he collapsed onto his butt and began taking deep breaths.
"What? But I wasn't fighting you, I was...oh, so that's why he wasn't fighting back...", Cloud said as he recalled the 'fight' and how Sephiroth didn't fight back at all.
"Huh? What do you mean Cloud?", Pit asked as he stood up; however, his legs were still a bit wobbly.
"Oh, nothing Pit...wait, why are you here again?", Cloud asked.
"Oh! Lady Palutena sent me here to bring you lunch when suddenly you started attacking me!", Pit said with his voice still tensed with fear. Cloud looked at Pit, all of the angel's emotions showed fear when suddenly Cloud realized something.
"Wait, how is everyone else?", Cloud asked. Pit then widened his eyes before running over to where for whatever reason his blades were before picking them up and running back to Cloud.
"Come on! Palutena hasn't responded, so something must have happened!", Pit said as he and Cloud ran out to their vehicles to rush back to the mansion.
Bowser grunted as he dodged a missile just in time as Samus continued her attack on him. For some weird reason, Samus had activated her power suit and began firing at the Koopa King. Bowser, however, made sure to keep some distance since he remembered how deadly the bounty hunter's weaponry was. Samus then let out another missile as he jumped out of the way.
"DIE RIDLEY!", Samus shouted as Bowser got back onto his feet and formed his fists as he glared back at Samus.
"Who is she talking about? And why does he sound so familiar?", Bowser thought to himself as he lunged forward and tried to punch Samus. However, Samus was too quick and kicked Bowser in between the legs, right where it hurts most. Bowser then let out a painful roar as his pupils shrunk into dots. Samus then kicked the legs out from under the Koopa and rolled away in time before the Koopa crushed her. Samus then stood up and kicked Bowser in the chest, sending him flying against the wall. Bowser then let his throat heat up as he got up and began spitting fireballs at Samus. Unfortunately for him, Samus was too quick and acrobatic and dodged all of the fireballs.
"Stupid bounty hunter, you'll pay for kicking me where it hurts!", Bowser thought to himself. Bowser then noticed something out of the corner of his eyes and smiled evilly as he saw two power-up mushrooms. Bowser then reached and grabbed the two as he ate them and regained his health, all the while Samus stood frozen in fear from what it appeared. Bowser then gave a large belch before he crossed his arms and grinned evilly at Samus.
"HAH! What are going to do now punk!?", Bowser arrogantly exclaimed. Right after he finished that sentence, he was blasted by Samus's charge shot and scorched to a crisp while he was sent back and landed on his stomach after he gave a painful roar. Bowser then looked back and widened his eyes in fear as Samus slowly walked over and was charging another charge shot while he tried to crawl away in fear. Suddenly, Mario, Luigi, Megaman, Fox, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong came racing around the corner and stopped in their tracks by what they saw.
"Time to die monster...", Samus said coldly as she aimed her arm cannon at the Koopa King.
"No Samus!", Mario yelled as he, Luigi, Fox, and Megaman ran towards her and grabbed her arms and legs while DK and Diddy Kong pulled Bowser away. Samus then threw Mario off of her as she pulled her feet away from Fox and Megaman.
"SPACE PIRATES!", she yelled as she kicked Mario into Pikachu's room, where the mouse Pokemon was taking a nap before Mario went flying through. Samus then grabbed Luigi and threw him at Megaman as the two went flying backwards down the hallway. Samus then turned around and aimed at Bowser, but Fox jumped in the way and held his arms out.
"NO SAMUS! DON'T DO IT FOR ME!", he cried. However, Samus was unfazed as she brought her foot up and kicked Fox in the chest as he collapsed due to how weak he was after DK's punch from earlier. Samus then reaimed a Bowser, but Pikachu then came out and held his paws out with a big smile on his face, he wanted her to hold him again.
"Pika!", Pikachu said cheerfully. Samus then looked down and kicked Pikachu across the face, sending him into the wall as blood soon was coming from the mouse's mouth. Samus the reaimed one last time as Donkey Kong and Diddy tried to move Bowser with all their might, but they too were also weak from the earlier fight.
"DIE!", Samus yelled as DK and Diddy looked up and immediately screamed as Samus was about to fire.
"NO!", Mario yelled as he tackled Samus and pinned her against the wall. Mario then punched Samus in the face and shook her.
"SAMUS! SNAP-A OUT OF IT!", Mario yelled as Samus blinked a few times before looking at him all confused.
"Huh? What's going on?", she asked. She then looked around the hallway and saw everyone beat up as she silently gasped to herself.
"Wait, did I do this?", she asked as Mario sadly nodded his head.
"I'm-a afraid so...", he said as Samus looked and saw Bowser stand up on his two feet. Samus then walked over and held her hand out. Bowser, however, when he saw this immediately shoved her hand away and scooted away from her.
"KEEP BACK FROM ME YOU... YOU...YOU MONSTER!", he yelled before he stood up and ran down the hallway as the other heroes soon started getting up and looked at Samus. Samus then deactivated her power suit and shooked her head in disbelief. She then turned around and gasped as she saw Pikachu looking up to her with sad eyes as blood trickled down the Pokemon's lower jaw.
"Oh no, don't tell me I did that to you...", Samus said sadly.
"Pika...", Pikachu said with a sad tone as he rubbed his cheek. Samus then knelt down and slowly let her arms out, motioning him to come to her. Pikachu was reluctant at first, but he eventually walked over towards her and crawled into her arms as she stood up and looked into his eyes, confusion was what was read all over them.
"Oh Pikachu, I'm so sorry I did that, could you forgive me?", Samus asked.
"Pikachu, cha...", Pikachu replied as he groaned and rubbed his cheek again.
"I know it hurts and I'm sorry, but maybe this will help a little.", Samus said as she kissed Pikachu on the cheek as she pulled back and saw the Pokemon give her a weak smile.
"Better?", Samus asked.
"Pika...", Pikachu sighed in relief.
"WHAT'S ALL THAT RUCKUS!?", a voice was suddenly heard as Master Hand floated down the hallway and stopped and stared at all of the smashers on the floor.
"WHAT THE...! I HEARD A NOISE, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THIS BAD! WHAT HAPPENED!?", Master Hand demanded as the smashers looked at each other. Donkey Kong and Diddy then pointed at Fox and gave some grunts as Fox looked at them confused.
"Huh? But I saw Andross, not you.", he said as he scratched his head.
"Wait...I saw Ridley.", Samus said as everyone looked at her.
"Huh? Isn't that the stage boss?", Megaman asked. But before Samus could answer, Pit and Cloud barged into the door.
"Oh man, something weird is going on! Cloud here just attacked me for some weird reason!", Pit said.
"I thought you were someone else.", Cloud explained. However, Master Hand was interested in what the three had said.
"Wait, you all saw someone else right?", he asked as the three nodded their heads. "Then that must mean something must have been...wait a minute, NESS!", he yelled as he charged into the other direction of the hallway as the smashers and others soon joined up with him.
"Ugh... come on...", Ness said as he focused himself through his telekinesis. Ness had been flowing through the minds of all the other smashers in order to pin point Giygas's location, but he had found nothing. However, this did not deter Ness as he continued searching through the mansion through a telekinetical overview.
"Where are you?", Ness asked himself as he searched every crook and cranny for the embodiment of evil. Ness kept sensing around the mansion until he caught a target.
"YES! I'VE GOT YOU KNOW! I...wait, why is it coming towards me?", Ness thought to himself as he felt the energy get stronger and stronger.
"NESS!", a loud voice suddenly shouted which opened Ness's eyes. The door to his room bursted open and Master Hand was in the room and was furios. Before Ness could react, Master Hand shot a green energy beam at him, knocking the boy out cold. Master Hand then picked him up and dragged him out of the room and down the hall as the other smashers then looked at each other.
"Not Ness again.", Sonic grumbled as he shook his head.
"He's really gone off the deep end.", Robin said.
"Could the poor boy be suffering from some mental disability?", Bayonetta suggested.
"No. He's never acted this way before. Whatever is happening to him is something of his own doing.", Marth stated.
"Well too bad for him, all I know is that I'm going to be glad once he's gone!", Toon Link said with a huff. Lucas then looked at him with a betrayed face on.
"TOON! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!? HOW WOULD NESS FEEL ABOUT THAT!?", Lucas shouted.
"NESS DOESN'T CARE ANYMORE! OUR...OUR...OUR BEST FRIEND IS GONE!", Toon Link screamed back as a single tear fell from his eye. Toon Link then turned around and joined Link as he left Lucas in a state of shock and hurt. Master Hand then floated back in as everyone looked at him and wondered what he had to say.
"I put Ness in a secure room. That should protect us from any telekinesis that he could use on us.", Master Hand said.
"What do you mean by 'that'?", Lucario asked intrigued.
"Ness used his telekinesis to travel into our memories and cast an illusion of our old enemies. Two of which I already know are Andross and Ridley, the third I have my suspicions.", Master Hand said as he glanced over towards Cloud.
"By why would do that?", Lucina asked. Master Hand remained silent for a few moments before speaking up.
"Because he is not the same Ness anymore. He is an uncontrollable boy who has lost his mind.", Master Hand said.
"Master Hand, that's-a pretty jumpy conclusion, even for-a you.", Luigi stated.
"The facts say otherwise.", Master Hand said.
"Sounds more like you are saying something you don't believe, but want to push it.", Megaman stated. Master Hand was about to make a comment back when he noticed Nana raising her hand.
"What is it Nana?", Master Hand asked.
"Uh...Master Hand, who is Ridley?", Nana asked. The room remained quiet for a second, they had only known his name and the stage boss he was, but none knew him. Master Hand then glanced over at Samus as everyone looked at her while she had her hung hanged down.
"Ridley...Ridley is my arch-nemesis...", Samus started, "He...he...came one day to our earth colony when I was three...and he...he...he attacked and killed everyone except me.", Samus finally finished. The room remained quiet as they took in Samus's backstory. Mario and Luigi couldn't help but take their hats off, Cloud tightened his fists as Ryu crossed his arms and closed his eyes in respect, Fox shed a tear as he finally found out his girlfriend's history and Pikachu let some tears fall off his cheeks when he heard his best friend's pain. Master Hand then regained control of the situation by clearing his throat.
"Uh...thank you Samus. Cloud? Bayonetta? Lucas?", Master Hand asked. However, Cloud and Bayonetta glared at the hand while Lucas whimpered down and shook his head.
"Right...", Master Hand said," Well, everyone should just take a day off, I'll be calling some certain people for Ness."
"Wait a minute Master Hand...", Mario said as he stepped forward," You-a seem so desperate to get-a rid of Ness. Why are-a you afraid of this Giygas problem?"
"That's none of your business Mario!", Master Hand barked.
"Oh, but it-a is when it's-a about the original twelve. Tell-a me, is this-a villain weak?", Mario interrogated.
"No.", Master Hand said.
"Is-a he big?"
"Not really."
"Are you-a scared about him being here?"
"He isn't here!", Master Hand growled.
"Are-a you actually afraid of Ness?", Mario asked with a raised eyebrow.
"NO! Ness does not scare me!", Master Hand yelled.
"Then why are-a you afraid of this Giygas?"
"BECAUSE I CAN'T BEAT HIM!", Master Hand suddenly screeched. Master Hand then took some deep breaths as everyone looked at him with fear in their eyes. The room remained quiet as Master Hand regained his composure.
"Wh...what?", Mario asked stuttering. Master Hand then sighed as he dropped down and turned around from the smashers, refusing to look at their faces.
"I can't beat him.", Master Hand said again. "There are only two villains I can't beat, and Giygas is one of them. He is too powerful; in fact, he is the most powerful villain from all of the worlds combined."
The smashers remained silent, unsure of what to take of Master Hand's confession. However, the villain smashers were snorting and sneering at Master Hand.
"You mean to tell us that there is a villain more powerful than me!? HAH! You're even weaker than I thought!", Mewtwo arrogantly boasted.
"Yeah! No one is more powerful than my pop!", Bowser Jr. said as he crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"This Giygas ain't no match for me!", King Dedede said as he lifted his hammer and pumped it in the air. However, the rest of the villain smashers facepalmed themselves at the stupid penguin.
"Smashers...please...please understand...what I'm being forced to do...", Master Hand said slowly and stuttering as the smashers refocused on the creator.
"What-a is it?", Mario asked.
Master Hand felt his throat become dry as he tried to force his words out. However, these words cut Master Hand down to his heart(?); these words were words he wished he never had to say to one of the hero smashers. From all of his time, watching over the smashers and seeing them grow and become better friends this tournament, this problem had to arise which he wished never happened.
"I...I...", Master Hand stuttered," I... I am going to call the asylum tonight.", he finished. There, he said it, there was no way of taking those words back. The smashers widened their eyes at him; however, the results were the surprising part.
"YEAH! LET'S GET RID OF THAT BRAT!", Sonic cheered.
"SONIC! ARE YOU REALLY THIS MEAN!?", Megaman shouted back at him.
"Bite me metal boy...", Sonic muttered. However, Megaman heard this.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?", Megaman shouted.
"I SAID CAN IT YOU ARTIFICIAL BABY!", Sonic yelled back. Megaman took it like a sting to the chest, tears began to form up as Sonic smirked at the Blue Bomber.
"See what I mean?", Sonic laughed as Megaman soon felt a flow of rage and ran forward and punched the hedgehog in the face. Sonic felt blood come out of his mouth as he fell down to the floor, Megaman then began to kick Sonic in the chest as Sonic began coughing up more blood while every smasher watched in horror at what unfurled.
"MEGAMAN! SONIC! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!", Master Hand yelled as he ran over and picked Megaman up as Sonic crawled away and behind King Dedede when Master Hand put him down.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?", Master Hand yelled at the boy as tears rolled down Megaman's cheeks.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH SONIC!? HE'S PRACTICALLY CELEBRATING NESS'S DIMISAL!", Megaman yelled as he pointed at Sonic, who glared back at him.
"HEY! SERVES HIM RIGHT! WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE TROUBLE!", he shouted as Lucina, Toon Link, King Dedede, Bowser Jr., Mewtwo, Charizard, Jigglypuff, and Yoshi nodded in agreement.
"NO HE DOESN'T!", Megaman shouted back as Mario, Luigi, Samus, Fox, Snake, Cloud, Bayonetta, Lucas, and Pikachu defended Ness. The smashers then took their sides as they glared back at each other sides before Master Hand caused lightning bolts to strike the room.
"SILENCE!", he yelled, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER YOU ALL! THIS IS NOT A GOOD DAY FOR ME AND YOU ALL ARE MAKING IT WORSE! NOW SHUT UP AND IGNORE THE OTHERS WHILE I CALL THE ASYLUM!"
"HOLD-A ON MASTER HAND!", Mario suddenly shouted, "YOU-A TOO SEEMED TO WANT NESS GONE. WHY-A THE SUDDEN CHANGE!?"
Master Hand stook his finger up about to answer, when he stopped and thought about it, drawing out their attention for about thirty seconds before he finally answered.
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on anymore. I don't know me! I don't know Ness! I...I just don't understand anymore!", he yelled. The smashers as well began to cool off as they dropped their glares and looked at each other and began to turned their faces away in shame.
"I...I don't know what came over me. I...I have to go!", Sonic yelled before he took off and ran down the hallway. Megaman then took after him as soon as he saw him leave.
"Wait Sonic! I didn't mean to hurt you! Come back!", he yelled as everyone else began to disperse and hang their heads in shame as they had no idea what was becoming of them.
"What are we? Nothing more than animals now...OH! Sorry guys!", Ike said as he looked at Falco and Wolf. However, the two shrugged it off.
"No, it's okay man, we get what you mean.", they said as they walked away.
"Hey Cloud, why didn't you mention who you thought I was?", Pit asked as he walked up to the SOLDIER. However, Cloud wasn't answering and instead scowled as he looked away. Pit, however, was determined to find out what was with Cloud.
"What did you call me again? Satiroth? Sepirot? Oh! That's right, you called me...", Pit never finished as Cloud grabbed him and threw him against the wall and gritted his teeth at the angel's face as Pit proceeded to lose all of the color in his face. Cloud then let go of him and dusted his hands off.
"Never mention anything about this ever again, got it?", Cloud threatened as Pit nodded his head up and down.
"Good. Now leave me alone.", Cloud said as he walked away. Pit then began to breath normal again when he felt his pants and groaned in embarrassment.
"Lady Palutena..."
"Oh dear, did you wet yourself in fear again?", Palutena asked as Pit nodded his head in embarrassment.
"Alright, let's go get some clean clothes for you.", Palutena said as she and Put went to Palutena's room to see if their was any laundry soap for Pit's pants. As everyone went their way, Samus sat down next to the wall as Fox came next to her and sat down on her left side. The two remained silent for a few seconds while everyone else left while Fox thought of what to say.
"So...Ridley is the one huh?", Fox asked. He remembered that Samus told him that she lost her parents long ago like he did, but she never said who like he did when they came to the first tournament. Samus then looked at him and nodded her head slowly.
"Yes...he...he...he took everything away from me.", she said as she rested her head on Fox's shoulders and let out a couple of tears. Fox didn't know how to react to this, but he slowly reached his arms around her and pulled her forward to him.
"It's okay, I'm here for you.", he said as Samus took a deep breath and let it out as she gave a weak smile.
"Thanks. At least the Ridley here is a robot made to look like him and is not the real deal. At least he can't take anyone away..."
"And at least Andross can't take anyone away either.", Fox said with a smile.
"Pika!"
Fox then straightened his ears up as he turned around and saw Pikachu at the end of Samus's feet. Fox then glared and growled as he looked at the Pokemon.
"FORGET ANDROSS! YOU ALREADY TAKE HER AWAY ENOUGH ALREADY!", Fox yelled as Pikachu glared at the pilot. Samus then giggled and picked Pikachu up and hugged him and smiled at the Pokemon.
"Hey, want to watch a movie at my room?", Samus asked.
"Pika!", Pikachu said happily.
"HEY! YOU ASKED HIM BEFORE YOU ASKED ME!? WHO DO YOU LOVE MORE!?", Fox yelled as Samus laughed at him. Samus then kissed Fox on the cheek as Fox had a stern face on and crossed his arms like a child.
"Oh, you were already invited! Come on now!", Samus said as she and Fox walked to her room, all the while as Fox and Pikachu argued with each other.
Master Hand was in his office, dialing on his cellphone the one number he hoped he never would use. But how, here he is, pressing the numbers for the dreaded receiver of the call. After a few rings, someone picked up on the other side.
"Yes, this is Master Hand. Yes, I would like to...to have a couple people come down tomorrow. What time? Probably around three thirty. Yes, I know, this is very difficult.", Master Hand said as he looked at a photo and let a single tear drop fall. The photo was the very first one he had taken. The one from the first tournament. Mario and Luigi had their hands out and sticking two fingers up while Yoshi was next to Mario. Pikachu layed on the ground and had his paws hold his cheeks as he stared up at the camera. Kirby was waving his hand while Link held his Master Sword in the air with a grin on his face. Fox and Captain Falcon held their thumbs up as Jigglypuff was bouncing in the air and Samus was holding her arm cannon in the air for a sign of victory. Then there was him. Ness stood next to Luigi and had his baseball bat leaning on one shoulder and holding two fingers up like Mario and Luigi, the smile on his face said that he was happy here while everyone else had a smile that wasn't so convincing. This is what hurt Master Hand most. Ness genuinely wanted to get to know everyone there and become friends, but everyone else distrusted everyone else. Master Hand then sighed and returned his attention back to the phone.
"Yes, for the good of everyone else. Please, just take care of him.", Master Hand said as he felt his heart break. After a few seconds, Master Hand cleared his throat, not to make himself louder, but to make sure it wasn't dry from sadness.
"Lucas can come to visit often? Thank you very much. Take care of him, goodbye.", Master Hand said as he hung up the phone and looked at the picture again before groaning and collapsing on his desk.
"Oh Ness...", he sadly cried.
Ness punched the wall of the circular force field he was in, only for his hand to bounce off and send him onto the ground. Ness the growled to himself as he stood up and shook himself down.
"STUPID HAND! HE JUST HAD TO PUT ME IN THE FORCE FIELD THAT DRAINS ONE'S POWERS!", he yelled as he tried to punch the force field again, only to sent flying to the other side of the circle as hit the wall hard and fell down onto the ground. Ness then gritted his teeth as he stood up and shook his hand in the air.
"YOU IDIOT! I'M TRYING TO SAVE EVERYONE! HOW DARE YOU PUT ME IN HERE! LET. ME. OUT. NOW!", Ness yelled as he punched the force field with all of his might, suffering the same fate as the last attempts as he was sent backwards due to the force field's ability to redirect energy. Ness then looked up from the fetal position that he was laying in and saw his reflection on the wall of the force field. He saw himself divided straight down into two parts, one half was his normal self, and the other...was a black shadow with his a red eye and black pupil. Ness then looked away as he tried to resist the thoughts, but then four more reflections of him with the same exact pattern walked out of the walls of the force field and surrounded him and looked down at him in his fetal position.
"Look at me, where did I go wrong?", one of them asked as he shook his head.
"Don't you mean what did Giygas do?", another soon spoke up as he looked at Ness.
"But Giygas isn't here!", another soon said.
"Or is he?", the second one responded.
"Maybe he is here...", one said as he knelt by Ness, who was sweating profusely at the moment.
"Or maybe I'm going insane..." the fourth one replied as the four began to float and twirl around Ness and say other haunting words as Nes tried to close his eyes and resist their words.
"NO! I'M NOT LOSING MY MIND! I CAN'T! I'M...I'M NOT! NO! NO!
(Author's Note)
The end is near...OH! Sorry! I just enjoy that line that Thanos said. Infinity War is still one of the best movies ever made and it definitely lived up to its build up. But back onto the story, Ness is near the end and the truth of what's going on. But is he right? Is he still sane, or is everyone else right? And why are some of the smashers are glad that Ness is leaving? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Now, to explain last chapter, I love Professor Layton! I hope he will be represented in Smash Bros Ultimate in some way or form. Also, while I'm not into Pokemon, I couldn't help but love Detective Pikachu's character when I watched some playthroughs of the game. Speaking of Ultimate, I'm glad we got Ridley, Inklings, Simon, Richter, Chrom, and Isabelle! King K. Rool isn't so bad, but I don't think that he needed to be in the game, unlike Isaac or Dixie Kong. Well, the end of this story is drawing to a close and two more parts still remain of 'The Fall of Smash'. Will Ness be in both parts, or will something terrible happen that excludes him from them? We shall see! (Muah ha ha!) Until next time, au revoir! I don't own any of the characters, all characters belong to their respective owners.
