Civil Dispute part 13 Con

"A Heated Battle,"

"Hey, has anyone seen Sonic?" Olimer exclaimed dashing through the halls of the castle. Olimer desperately needed to speak with Sonic due to his recent discovery he found on the flashdrive they had used to get data from the Data Observatory. However, he was met with the usually answers of.

"Nope,"

"Sorry,"

"Watch it!"

Olimer then tried to see if he could locate Ness, since Ness knew how flaky Sonic could be Ness made sure to keep tabs on him. Olimer rushed down the halls in the opposite direction he was going. He hoped to find Ness in the parlor, or some place that was easy to find. Olimer then screeched to a halt obviously forgetting about checking the TV room. Olimer gave himself a facepalm, well as best he could with his helmet on, and quickly hurried over to the TV room. Olimer pushed open the door about four times his height and twice his width. He looked around to see the TV. The room has a lushes red carpet completely stained free, no windows for those who dislike contact with the outside world, a ceiling fan, a mini fridge over to the side, a giant movie screen like TV sat opposite of the wall Olimer was facing, and finally a couch in front the TV. Olimer looked and saw that Ness was indeed planted on the couch. Olimer mentally kicked himself for not checking here first. Ness turned to Olimer with a raised eyebrow.

"What's wrong, Pikmin started reproducing themselves again?" Ness asked.

"No, I've been trying to locate Sonic, do you know where he is?" Olimer quickly asked.

"He's probably somewhere higher up in the castle. Why don't you just call him?"

"Call him?"

"Sonic has pretty sensitive ears and pretty much hears everything. I bet if you called him he'd be around,"

"Oh," Olimer said dumbfounded.

"Anyway, what is it you have to show him?"

"I found something pretty interesting in the data we were able to collect. I admit most of the data was useless, but this one piece may be pretty important,"

This caught Ness's curiosity. "Then what is it?"

"I want to tell Sonic also. Gather everyone up and go to the throne room, and I will inform everyone then,"

Ness nods then turns off the television. He hops off the couch and walks past Olimer to exit the room.

Ness quickly went to work of gathering everyone to the throne room. Olimer decided to take Ness's advice and began calling Sonic's name throughout the castle. Olimer was about to second-guess Ness's suggestion when a gust of wind blew past him making him lose his balance. Then the gust came again, and he fell, but was caught by someone. He looked up to see Sonic's curious face.

"You called?" Sonic asked.

"Yes, I've been looking for you for the past half hour!" Olimer exclaimed as Sonic sat him back on his feet.

"I thought it was common knowledge that I usually chill out on the roof,"

Olimer frowned in complete annoyance. Now that he thought about it that was very true. Anytime anyone saw the hedgehog he was dashing through the halls, fighting, or on the roof or a tree branch taking a nap. Olimer sighed at himself for overlooking such details, and everyone else for overlooking them.

"Excuse me," came a voice. Olimer screamed out jumping into Sonic's arms, as Sonic himself cringed. They turned to face the speaker to only see it was Mewtwo.

"Gosh, will you stop doing that!" they both exclaimed.

"Apologies, but we're having a meeting and our leader isn't present. Along with the one who called it in the first place," Mewtwo said sternly.

"Right, beam us there," Sonic said letting Olimer go. Mewtwo obliged as his eyes began glowing blue and then they vanished then reappeared in the throne room. Everyone was already seated and awaiting the next mission. Everyone turned to face the new arrivals.

"Nice of you guys to finally show up," Wario huffed.

"Hello to you to," Sonic said taking his seat. Olimer walked over to the teleporter than inserted the flash drive. The drive fed data to it and the data all showed up on the viewer. The teleporter had many functions communications, computing skills, and helps to give good presentations. "Alright Olimer what ya find?"

"Oh, it's pretty big," Olimer typed on the pad for a moment then opened a file. Then a six-digit code appeared on the screen.

"344-626, what is that?" Ike asked.

"Some losers digital lock, that's what's sooo important?" Wario huffed.

"It's not just anyone's six-digit code. It belongs to our Mayor Arnold Agen Namgge," Olimer said.

"Oh, great, so we can break in his house and trash the place?" Bowser asked.

"No, this code is to his lab," Olimer said.

"Ooooooh, his lab, still I feel like I'm missing why this is such a big deal," Falco said.

"Use your head Falco, his lab, where he designed those 'upgrades' for Samus and Pikachu," Wolf clarified.

"Exactly, and where he may keep a few skeletons," Olimer added. "This code is to unlock the lab, but getting to it would be another story. I'm sure I could use this code to trace it back to the origin of the lab, but…"

"It's probably heavily guarded," Sonic surmised.

"Right, and to get to it, would probably take every single one of us here,"

"That's not very tactical or practical. If we want to gain more of an edge it's best we strike with small groups, but at much more crucial points," Marth said.

"Smaller groups are easier to command, and control," Ike agreed.

"Exactly, we can't all go charging in their," Olimer said.

"Plus, we might run the risk of running into an upgraded smasher," Sonic said also down turning many faces. Everyone was beginning to realize just how dangerous this mission was. "But I have an idea,"

"Really?" everyone asked shocked.

"I thought we already went through this,"

"Just tell us!" Nana demanded excitedly.

"Okay, the plans going to be similar to our last one, we're gonna send a team of four in to gain as much information as they can about that lab. Olimer will definitely be on that team bringing it to five members. Incase some of you guys don't know, we've gained a bit of support on our side and have gotten a few helping hands. We even have a few undercover agents for us,"

"Okay, I'm liking this so far," Young said.

"Alright, the team that goes in is going to have to be quick, and small, literally. So, Toon, Young, Nana, and Ness will be going in,"

"YOU'RE SENDING A TEAM OF CHILDREN!" Peach yelled. She understood that each of them were very capable, but to send them on such a mission. As skillful as they were experience is something a couple of them lacked. Ness is a good choice of course, and Toon and Young can handle themselves, however the question was Nana. She was only half of the Ice Climbers. She wouldn't be at her best without someone covering her.

"Peach hear me out first before I become the center of your scorn. They can squeeze through some pretty tight places if need be. I want everyone here and on high alert for them at all times. The moment things get hairy you guys step in. I need you guys fresh to provide back up for them,"

"I noticed you excluding yourself from the back up role," Roy said.

"Yeah, what's up with that? You don't plan on going in to help back up the kids?" Falco asked.

"That's right, my goal is a little different. I'm aware of how bad things might get in their for them, so I'm hoping I can relieve some pressure off them. So, I'm gonna go on a rampage,"

"A rampage?" everyone questioned.

"Yep, I'm betting that they'd send everything my way if the leader of the Blue Wind was out and about," Sonic said.

"But, what if you get overwhelmed?" Ness asked.

"When I say we have supporters I mean that. I'm betting we got supporters guarding the lab itself. I promise I wont be in over my head, and instead of calling for back up I'll just pull back. You guys wont even have to get your feet wet,"

The plan sounded…shaky at best. However, so far Sonic's plans and ideas have worked out. Everyone expected another mission accomplished. The teams were set and everyone knew their positions. Sonic made contacts with the supporting Blue Wind soldiers and explained the plan. They happily accepted, and Olimer was just about ready to go. Olimer was even able to gain the blueprints of the building the lab was in. The lab turned out to be in some sort of compound. It was underground, right underneath the capitol building. That lab had always existed, but the mayor himself was never involved in it. The new mayor was obviously pretty handy, so handy that he needed zero help or input from other scientist. Strange? The Blue Wind says yes.

The plan was simple. Sonic creates a ruckus with his presence, and pulls a few guards from their post. The supporting members inside the building will help create paths for Olimer's team, so once inside they can navigate as best they can. They are to find the lab, and find as much incriminating evidence as they could. Once that was done the plan was to get out quickly. Hopefully, if Sonic was not over run than he would quickly go in to assist the infiltration team. If all goes as planned than they should be able to bring down the mayor and get him kicked out. Once he was out of the way the smashers could find the missing Hands in peace!

That is until they find who kidnapped them.

"Alright, I'll go in first. I'll try not to linger to far from you guys," Sonic said. Sonic turned to the teleporter then leaped into it. Sonic slammed on his feet as his sneakers met concrete. Sonic looked up to look around. He saw he landed right in front of the Capitol Building. "Perfect,"

Sonic stood up then cracked his knuckles as he approached the front gate. Sonic did a little stretch then curled into a ball to smash right through the gate. The ground immediately turned into a war zone. Double barrel laser turrents popped out of the ground and directed the nozzles at the speedy hedgehog.

"Guess that open door policy isn't for everyone," Sonic said leaping over a green laser blast. Sonic quickly moved toward the turrents circling around each blast narrowly avoiding them, but still in control Sonic did a quick sliding dash that knocked the turrent out the ground. Sonic jumped up to land behind another then gripped it tightly as he pointed it toward other turrents. The turrent opened fire on the turrnets instantly vaporizing them. Once the last one was fried Sonic forcibly ripped the one he had in his grasp out the ground then tossed it to the side. Sonic looked toward the building noting the lack of N.O.V.A. agents "Am I not enemy number one anymore?"

Sonic took a slow walk toward the building and not a single thing moved to interfere with his approach. Sonic thought either the bigger weapons needed cleaning, or the mission is going to be a lot easier than what he thought. Suddenly, a giant fireball slammed into the ground in front of him, and strange energy burst from behind him. Sonic raised his arm to protect his face.

"Of course, we're never that lucky," Sonic groaned, kicking himself for even letting the thought cross his mind. Slowly he noticed figures began to appear out of the flames and the strange energy. Sonic noted the one made of fire was about 6 feet, but that's all he could make out really since his entire body was on fire. Sonic turned behind him to see the energy began to settle down and some person same height was in a weird suit. The suit let out this greenish energy all around it. The suit hugged the person's body closely showing his muscle like physique, the suit was also green, with clear goggle like things around the eyes. The guy was covered head to toe. "So guys, we gonna go to the circus or what?"

"Yuck it deadhog, but it wont be us whose gonna get caged like some freak," the one on fire said.

"Deadhog, I bet you came up with that all by yourself huh. Ever thought of getting a publicist?" The Fire man growled at Sonic harshly. "I mean some people are just better if there seen and not heard. I mean I was intimidated…until you started talking,"

"SHUT UP!" the fire man yelled throwing a ball of fire at Sonic. Sonic threw his whole body out of the way of the searing out flames that shot by him. The guy in green simply flicked his hand and the fireball dispersed around the strange energy.

"Hyperfire, you must learn to control yourself," said the guy in the green suit. Hyperfire only huffed. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Plasmatron, and this is my colleague Hyperfire,"

"And let met guess, you guys are former super villains that decided to do some good?"

"That's right! Crime isn't really getting us ahead as much as I thought it would," Hyperfire said.

"I guess the saying 'crime never pays' was a phrase you never heard in your childhood," Sonic said.

"Shut up! I have power now, so I don't have to take crap from anyone anymore!"

"Whoa, buddy calm down, it's not that serious,"

"However, it is my hedgehog friend. For you see we were put in charge to protect this place, and we will not allow you to degrade it with your presence," Plastmatron said.

"In other words, make an appointment," Hyperfire spat.

"I did and I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. No time to say hello goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Sonic said dashing passed Hyperfire to get to the building. Sonic knew if this much preparation was made for him, than he feared what the kids could be going through. However, a wall of fire cut him off the rose before him. Sonic screeched to a halt then jumped back. Unfortunately, when he jumped back he also jumped into an attack of the strange energy controlled by Plasmatron. Sonic fell to the ground then looked up at his opponents.

"As my name suggest, I can control Plasma energy. In case you don't know Plasma energy is an extremely hot source of energy, which actually flows around the sun. A couple of direct hits will probably kill you instantly. That blast was a warning shot, but resist further and I will make them more lethal," Plasmatron warned.

"It should be obvious what I control," Hyperfire said shooting out a stream of flames at Sonic.

Sonic quickly rolled on his side to avoid the intense blast. Sonic shot to his feet then leaped up to avoid a plasma blast from Plasmatron. Sonic quickly realized these foes would definitely overwhelm him, but NEVER overcome him. If that made sense…

"Fine then, you guys think you can take me down, then lets go!" Sonic said taking a fighting position.

(Inside the building)

The team was indeed inside. They came in through the back as per instructed. They ran into no guards, so they felt it was safe to assume that Sonic was indeed successful on his part, and the explosions were a good clue. They moved through the halls of the building with swift and quiet footfalls being careful of where they go. They knew where they had to go, but it was actually a little difficult to find the elevator needed to go down.

"Where is this stupid place," Young Link hissed.

"It's here…somewhere," Olimer said starting to sound unsure. They walked across the carpeted floor looking around the dark capitol building. It was odd to see the place dark, seeing as this was where the city was ran. In hindsight the place shouldn't be this empty, and so unguarded. Sonic couldn't have possibly drawn out every guard, and every guard couldn't have been just standing in the dark the whole time. Toon Link grabbed Ness shoulder to halt him for a moment.

"I don't like this," Toon Link whispered. "We're having a too easy time,"

"For a place that's supposed to be super dangerous it sure mellows out when no ones around," Young threw in his two cents.

"I know guys, I don't like this either. We have to keep moving the elevator isn't in plain sight, so we gotta look," Ness said.

Nana sighed sadly dragging her feet a bit. She felt kind of sullen to go on this mission. At first she was excited to be chosen, but now fears the chance of having to actually injure on of her friends. Nana stepped forward, but she swore she heard something weird. She stopped and stepped on the same part of the carpet noting the feel and texture was a bit off from the rest. To test her theory she shifted her weight on her unextended leg, and noted it felt different. She quickly called over her teammates to gain their attention. They had been walking so carefully that they had not noticed the slight change in texture.

"She's right, it does feel weird here," Toon said.

"But how will this help us?" Young asked.

Olimer took a closer look at the carpet to see that it parts in a circular shape. "Maybe this is," Olimer said. He tapped the part of the carpet a few times until the carpet, or better side a tube shot out the floor. It towered over them in all it's glory with a shiny silvery paint job. Doors on the front opened to reveal an inside. Obviously, this must be the elevator they're looking for. "Found it lets go,"

They got in then Olimer hit the one of the two buttons in the tube. This indicated that they were going down, and at a pretty fast rate. They were glad the mission was going so well, but all things can turn sour in an instant. Take for example. Let's say that when those doors opened they were staring down a whole armies worth of N.O.V.A agents, weapons cocked and loaded. Any false movement, or reaction would be quickly punished by a stun blast. That hopefully the weapons are set on stun with the way the signed smashers have been talking trash about them.

It's too bad that they have to live that very example. As soon as the elevator doors opened they saw the trap that was obviously waiting on them.

"Worst. Mission. Ever." Ness said.

"Scatter!" Toon Link exclaimed.

All of them scamper out of the elevator with Toon and Young covering the group with their shields as best they could. Ness raises a PSI Magnet Shield around himself and Nana as Olimer ducked behind it. Toon and Young's shields were only so big so the blast sometimes skimmed their arms. They both threw their boomerangs hoping to hit some of their ranks, but the heavy laser fire proved too much for their weapons as the boomerangs didn't return from their journey.

"Move in and capture!" ordered one of the soldiers.

"Get back!" Nana yelled as she placed let out a blast of icy cold air. Only the front rank of soldiers had their weapons frozen.

"Guys cover your eyes," Ness instructed his team. They all followed Ness's command and once they did Ness harnessed all the energy he had absorbed. "PK Flash!"

A blast of light energy shot into the air and either decimated the soldiers or left them blinded. The soldiers were disorganized for the moment, which the renegade smashers took complete advantage of. They all quickly moved in to put down any of the soldiers who could still stand or be in the way. They knew this couldn't be the only surprise waiting for them so they decided not to be too thorough. Ness leads the charge as he bashed his way to the other end of the cavern like corridor. The corridor was barley lit and cave like walls and ceilings indicated they were indeed in the right place. Suddenly they all heard an explosion from above them.

"What was that?" Young Link asked.

"No doubt, Sonic has his own surprise," Ness said. Ness had a feeling to going on a similar plan like last time would be pushing their luck a bit. "We have to hurry!"

Suddenly actual robots got in their path. Young and Toon moved to the front to confront them. Both swordsmen slashed the torsos of both the robots before they could even be a problem. Ness looked to Olimer for guidance of their current course. Olimer looked at his wrist to look at the electronic tracker. He traced the signal perfectly. Olimer looked at his wrist then the path then instructed them to make a turn right. As they moved they heard another explosion from above them.

"Hey is it me, or is it getting colder to you guys?" Young said offhandedly.

"Any chance we can call a truce?" Sonic asked as he fell to his hands to dodge a Plasma blast from Plasmatron. Sonic then immediately pushed off his hands to dodge the flames of Hyperfire.

"Feeling the heat?" Hyperfire mocked as he shot out a stream of fire at Sonic.

"Well you're at least keeping me on my toes, Hypopyro" Sonic said leaning away from the flames.

"It's Hyperfire!"

Sonic ignored him to looked around. Sonic noted that the grounds of the Capital Building were becoming scorched and torn apart. Sonic knew that he couldn't afford to fall back, but it seemed these opponents were a little too much to handle at once.

Hyperfire and Plasmatron shot at a stream of their respective energies at Sonic. Sonic avoided the direct attack but could not avoid the blast as he was sent flying all the way into a parked car. Sonic slammed into the hood of the car nearly smashing the car to pieces. Sonic's fur was scorched in some places, and smoking in others. Sonic was getting worn down, and it didn't seem like things were going well for him. Sonic knew he had to do something soon. Sonic noticed Hyperfire throwing another fireball at him, so Sonic dived off the hood of the car as it exploded in flames.

"I've got quite a lethal throwing arm!" Hyperfire said throwing another fireball.

"Where do you guys come from!" Sonic exclaimed as staggered to his feet to dodge the fireball again. Hyperfire burst into hysterics at the amount of fun he was having. Sonic dodged each fireball however noting he was being pushed farther away from the Capital Building, which he could not allow. "Alright, I'm done playing dodge ball,"

"What ya gonna do, spit on me, you can't hurt me without getting burned!" Hyperfire reminded. Hyperfire dove to the ground to unleash a heat wave that knocked other parked vehicles into the air toward Sonic. Sonic dodged the wave by leaping into the air, but now he had the vehicles to worry about. Summoning his absolute focus, Sonic hopped from one car to the other moving with great care to avoid each vehicle. Sonic flipped forward then placed hand on the hood to push off then kicked off the bottom of a car, then twirled between two cars coming toward him, and then finally flipped upside down to go over another. "Not bad,"

"If ya like that you'll get a kick outta this!" Sonic exclaimed as he slammed his feet into Hyperfire's chest and then quickly kicked off throwing Hyperfire into car. "If I had a nickel for every time that line came up…"

"What the, how?" Hyperfire asked shocked Sonic wasn't burned. Hyperfire was also surprised that Sonic's shoes wasn't scorched to char.

"Friction shoes. I can reach speeds up to Mach 5 and when that happens regular footwear tends to break apart or burst into flames with all that friction. My shoes are made to resist heat," Sonic said as allowed a showcase by revving his feet on top of Hyperfire's head. He kicked off before Hyperfire could react.

"You'll pay for that!" Hyperfire barked.

"Can ya keep it cheap, my fur only carries loose change," Sonic said. Hyperfire got angrier and as he got angrier his flames got bigger. Sonic stood back noticing the flames growing but then Sonic smirked. "Ya wanna know something cool about super speed?" Sonic then quickly began running around the flames Hyperfire was letting out.

"You plan on making a tornado, are you stupid that'll only make the flames bigger?" Hyperfire said.

"True, but if I hit the right speed," Sonic said. Sonic began to increase in speed. "Wait for it…" Soon the flames around Hyperfire began to decrease in volume and heat. Hyperfire was struck dumb and tried harder to maintain the flames, but it was proving more and more difficult.

"What are you-," Hyperfire's voice was cut off by a chocking sound. Soon even the flames around his body were going out to reveal his red hair, with a white body suit.

"Chemistry 101, can't keep a flame going without oxygen, ergo take out the oxygen you got no flame," Sonic's voice echoed in the circle. Once the fires were completely gone Sonic stopped. "And now's my to got to town ya for a little while," Sonic said as quickly charged forward before Hyperfire could gain his bearings. Sonic struck with a straight jab into Hyperfire's jaw, then Sonic swung his leg into Hyperfire's chest, and then finished it with an elbow drop on top of his head. With Hyperfire so dazed it was relatively easily to knock him out. "I guess a name change is in order…how about Hyper-nappytime,"

"Interesting, you took him out quite easily," came Plasmatron's voice from behind Sonic. Sonic turned his head to see Plasmatron with an hand extended and hand ready to fire. "But you wont have as easy a time,"

"Yeah I'll say, the only thing I have to make fun of is that suit and your aim, and eventually that gets dull," Sonic said.

Plasmatron glared at Sonic through his suit. He glanced off to the side then snapped his fingers on his other hand to let out a sudden burst of energy from underneath a big truck. Right toward Sonic, who was surprised. Sonic knew what he had to do. Sonic bent down to grab Hyperfire, however this was something Plasmatron expected.

"Heroes are so predictable- what the!" Plasmatron knew Sonic would get Hyperfire out the way to avoid him being crushed. He however, was surprised when Sonic launched Hyperfire at him to leap into the air to avoid the truck. Plasmatron had planned on firing an intense blast of Plasma Energy to put Sonic down, but it seemed Hyperfire intercepted the blast.

"Yeah we heroes are, you just know we always aim for the face don't ya," Sonic said slamming into Plasmatron with a double sonic spin. Plasmatron recovered by placing his hand on the ground to catch himself. He then fired another burst of Plasma energy at Sonic who side stepped it.

"Stand still!" Plasmatron yelled launching another truck at Sonic this time trying the same strategy and hoping for his planned result.

"Boy you really have a thing for trucks don't ya, you sure you wanna be called Plasmatron," Sonic said as he dived underneath the truck then leaped up to dodge the plasma blast that followed. "What about Plasmatruck, Truckatron, oh Truckmaster, Trucklleyberry Fin, Gannontruck, oh I know how about Professor Pick-up,"

"SHUT UP!" Plasmatron yelled shooting at Sonic who was still airborne. Sonic performed a somersault to dodge the attacks and land right behind Plasmatron.

"I really drove that one home, hahaha!" Sonic said turning sharply to deliver a roundhouse into Plasmatron's head. Plasmatron fell to the ground harshly without getting up. After all getting a solid kick in the head with legs that are able to break the sound barrier must really painful. "Now I gotta go check on the kids," Sonic immediately rushed to the Capital Building, however once he made it to the front yard he realized that things weren't gonna go as planned. Sonic quickly pulled out his communicator. "Guys, go get the kids, NOW!" In front of Sonic stood Mario, Luigi, Fox, Link, Captain Falcon, Lucario, Lucas, Zelda, and Donkey Kong. To make matters worst a small platoon of N.O.V.A agents were rushing into the Capital Building, while some stayed behind. "I highly doubt I'll make back for dinner,"

"You're under arrest," Mario said sternly.

Sonic sighed. He had just got finished fighting two pretty powerful opponents. His body ached, and he knew his speed wouldn't quite be enough for all these smashers. "Alright guys, let's go a few rounds then," Sonic said taking a fighting position.
