Hope you'be been looking foward to this. I'm surprised by the landslide victory but I did ask for votes. Anyway, ladies and gentleman, I give you...

Super Smash Bros:

Return of the Subspace Emissary

Chapter 26: The Ultimate Showdown Part 2: Mario VS Sonic

The world stood still. Nobody moved or made the slightest bit of sound. Mario and Sonic just stared each other down. It seemed to be hours but soon, Sonic moved.

Sonic ran straight for Mario but the plumber stepped to the side. Then, with surprisingly fast reflexes, kicked Sonic in the back, knocking him across the ground. The hedgehog managed to jump back up before Mario brought his fist down. Sonic charged at Mario once more. He skidded to a halt and threw his foot out but Mario countered with his fist. Mario jumped back and Sonic did the same. The speedy blue hog started spinning in place and launched himself at Mario, but he managed to turn Sonic the other way using his Cape. Sonic pulled out of his spin and turned to see Mario running straight for him. Sonic jumped and began to spin as he came crashing down on top of Mario. The plumber was pinned to the floor and Sonic continued spinning into his back. Mario was able to shake Sonic off before turning and punching him straight into the air. He jumped after him in an attempt to kick him in mid-air but Sonic head-butted him straight back down. Sonic then did his Homing Attack which got Mario in the face, knocking him backwards. Mario stood up and faced Sonic dead on. The hedgehog did the same and it resulted in a stare down. They'd both hurt each other badly but neither showed signs of giving up. Then something amazing happened.

Two Smash Balls appeared, one near Mario, the other near Sonic. They both grabbed the nearby items and started to glow. Mario reeled both his hands back, which began to fill with fire. Sonic jumped into the air and immediately turned into Super Sonic. This was the decider. Mario thrust his hands forward while Sonic sped straight for him.

"MARIO FINALE!"

"SUPER SONIC!"

Sonic headed straight for the huge flames that Mario had thrown out. The onlookers just stood there, wondering if Sonic was powerful enough to burst through the flames. Then, Sonic collided with the attack… and went straight through it!

Mario stood there in shock as the golden hedgehog shot towards him. Sonic managed to stop in front of Mario before kicking him up into the air. He flew after him and brought his foot down into the plumber's gut. Mario fell to the ground, causing a huge cloud of dust to appear where he landed. When the dust settled, he was a trophy.

Sonic turned back to normal as he landed in front of Mario's trophy.

"That'll show you to mess with the fastest thing alive!" he yelled as he pointed at the trophy. Snake and the others, who had witnessed the whole fight, ran up to him. Amy pulled him into another hug.

"Oh, Sonic. I'm so glad you're okay".

"I won't be if you keep hugging me!" Sonic cried with pain. He then saw Luigi walk up to the trophy and touch the base. In a flash of light, Mario was standing again.

"LUIGI!" Knuckles cried. "What was that for?" Luigi turned to face the echidna.

"He's my brother you know" he explained, before turning back to Mario. "Bro, what's with you? Sonic's on our side" he said. Mario shook his head. Not in disagreement, he was still dizzy. Pikachu decided to explain.

"According to Mario, he and Peach were attacked by Sonic. He killed Peach and ran off with her trophy". The others stood there in disbelief.

Snake spoke first. "That's impossible. Sonic was being held hostage the whole time". Amy thought back to when Sonic was first captured.

"Wait. Eggman used the Primids to make another Sonic. Only it had a purple aura and yellow eyes". Mario managed to regain his senses and heard what Amy said.

"So, if it's a False and it was working for this Eggman guy, then…"

"He's got her!" Sonic finished saying. Tails noticed that Yoshi was shaking. "What's the matter?" he asked. Yoshi pointed. "Is that what you're looking for?" Everyone else followed Yoshi's finger and noticed False Sonic.

"That's him! That's the thing that kidnapped Peach!" Mario yelled. The fake hedgehog smirked before charging at them with super speed. The force knocked them off their feet. With them distracted, he brought out his Dark Cannon and fired a shot that hit Amy. She was knocked forward and turned into a trophy. False Sonic grabbed her and took off.

"He's got Amy! Come on!" Sonic cried and the group of heroes chased after the evil doppelganger.


Elsewhere, DK's team had been trekking through the jungle and had stumbled across K. Rool's hideout.

"So that fat croc is in here?" Jigglypuff asked.

DK nodded. "He must have Diddy and Krystal too". Fox turned to Ness. "Once we've found them, we'll help you look for your friend" he said. Ness nodded and the six made their way into the base.


Back with Mario's team, they had been chasing the False Sonic for a while and had wound up into a forest. Mario and Sonic were further ahead than the others and Mario saw the fake jump up a wall of metal. It turned out it was part of a fortress that was beginning to take off. Sonic recognised it. It was another Egg Carrier.

"Oh no you don't!" growled Mario, as he jumped his way up the fortress. "Mario, wait!" Sonic called after him and followed the plumber. By the time the others got there, the Egg Carrier had already taken off.

"It's up to Mario and Sonic, now" Pikachu said. There was a sudden beeping sound. Snake pulled out his communicator and turned it on.

"Colonel, what is it?" he asked.

"Snake, how did the mission go?" Colonel replied.

"The Primids were working for someone else. Not the same kid we met at Shadow Moses. Don't worry; a couple of friends of ours will take care of him".

"That's good to here, because there's been reports that a boy in black with a huge key has been hanging around a burnt down forest". He was interrupted when Yoshi spoke up. "That's that kid! He's gone back to the forest!"

"Why would he do that?" asked Pikachu.

"The only way to find out is go there" Luigi said. "You can lead the way and explain to us what he's up to" he continued. Snake turned to Tails and the others. "It's best if you stayed in the city, just in case Mario and Sonic come back". The others didn't agree with this but nodded anyway.

"We'll stay right here" Cream said. "You go stop the bad guys". They made their last goodbyes before Snake and Luigi followed Yoshi and Pikachu to the forest.

What is Sora doing in the forest? Will Mario and Sonic rescue Peach and Amy? And will DK's crew defeat K. Rool? Find out next time on Return of the Subspace Emissary!
