Chapter 26: Swallowed World
Bayonetta, Bowser, Jr and King Dedede got to The Shard. They could feel a bit of wind starting up as well; it's obvious that the subspace bomb had been set off. Bayonetta summoned a demon which grabbed a hold of the previous enemies as the black blob of the subspace started to emerge. The demon then tossed them into the Subspace. "Well, I suppose it's my turn now" Bayonetta mentioned. The windows of the Shard were staring to come loose and fly into the Subspace. Bayonetta jumped from one to the other. "Up to the Subspace, here we go."
Suddenly, she was stopped in her place by Ridley, now with huge armour. "So, I heard about you." Bayonetta freed herself. "I was defeated once, but Ganondorf just found me and revived me and gave me this armour. Now bow before Meta Ridley!" Bayonetta got her guns ready. It was time to battle again.
Meta Ridley grabbed Beyonetta and attempted to throw her off the Shard window they were fighting on. Thankfully, Bayonetta landed on another window. Meta Ridley came flying down but Bayonetta jumped above him. She then landed on Meta Ridley and started shooting at him, along with summoning the limbs of demons to damage him even more. Ridley however shook her off, but she jumped from another falling window onto one higher up. She then summonsed one more demon leg which was enough to make Meta Ridley go plummeting to the ground.
Bayonetta could only feel relieved for a moment however; she was entering the Subspace. Bowser, Jr and Dedede were still making it up with the demon that was summoned earlier. "Well, NOW it's time to play naughty" she said as she entered the black abyss.
"Well, that's it. We're doomed" said Peach. "We're going to freeze to death whilst the world is going to be swallowed by Ganondorf." All everyone could see around themselves was whiteness, along with the occasional penguin. "I could run around and look for a way back" Sonic suggested, but his legs were frozen, and he couldn't. The best everyone could do would be to gather around Charizard's flame to keep everyone warm, though that was only for the time being. Charizard itself was starting to feel very tired.
"So, anyone got suggestions?" asked Fox, trying to contact Peppy and Slippy (which was impossible, as the snow hindered the signal). Pit thought for a minute. "This might seem mad, but why don't we try attacking from inside the Subspace?" Everyone just stared at him as if he had gone completely looney. "A friend of mine, Chief Kamili. He mentioned that the world will be swallowed up. So desperate times call for desperate measures. It's a risk, but I want to hear more options." Everyone else couldn't think of anything, so no one put their hand up. "He's right" said Shulk. "Did you have a vision?" Marth asked. "Yes. I believe it could work. But the future isn't pretty. From what I saw, we all-"
The wind started to pick up. "What's happening?" Lucario asked. They all looked over the horizon to see the black Subspace getting bigger and bigger, the white tundra slowly being swallowed by it. "That's it!" Fox shouted. "We need to get in there!" The ice started cracking all around them. "OK everyone, hold on to a piece of ice! It will get us there quicker." Everyone found their own chunks of ice. Slowly, the ice started to dislodge itself from the ground and they were getting sucked in. They went flying on their own pieces of ice towards the black hole. "If we attack it from the outside, we'll attack it from the inside!" shouted Ike.
Within seconds, the first few heroes were in. Then more went in. The final one was Mario himself, the first to realize where he was and the last one to enter the Subspace. He looked back to the planet of Earth, possibly the last view of it before he gets sent back to his own world. He shed a tear and jumped from his chunk of ice into the Subspace.
