Chapter 29
Beginning of the Final
Within his base built at Death Mountain, King Starman sat down in front of a computer and inputted data into the screen and in front of him were all sorts of machineries as well as a gigantic glass container that had something inside. He looked at the container and said, "The progression rate is faster than expected. Sooner or later, it shall be complete and it will without doubt be my most powerful creation!"
While he was working on this, a Starman came into the room and reported to him, "Reporting! The Smashers have been spotted on our radar! It seems that they have discovered our base and are on their way here! They may arrive any minute!"
"So they found out… It does not matter; with the forces that we have on our side as well as the help of the Space Pirates, it's not like they can prevail against us so easily," KS said.
-
Meta-Ridley and his Space Pirate army were currently outside the base ready to take on the Smashers. "I leave everything to you," the voice of King Starman spoke to him through a communication device that the SP captain wore on his arm.
"You can bet that I'm going to tear them all into pieces," Meta-Ridley replied. "I'm going to make sure that they do not see the light of tomorrow!" After ending the call, he said out loud to his army, "Everyone, make sure you don't leave anyone alive! Crush all of them in the most painful way possible! They shall know the power and ferocity of us Space Pirates!" And all the pirates let out war cries and threw their arms into the air.
-
The Final Destination was flying over the fields of Hyrule and heading towards the mountain range that was visible in the distance. All the Smashers were on the surface with their weapons in their hands as they may have to face danger which can arrive when they least expect it.
Link, Zelda, Young Link, and Ganondorf all looked from the edge and Link said, "It sure feels good to see familiar landscape again!"
"It' been quite a while since we came back here, didn't we?" Zelda asked. "Everything looks so peaceful!"
"This peace perhaps will not last unless we do something about the evil that is residing here," Ganondorf said.
"Yeah, we must defeat King Starman no matter what," Link thought. "Since his base is situated here, I'm sure he'll choose Hyrule as his first target once he created his army of monsters or something like that."
"Don't worry; I will make sure that none of that happens," MH said. "As an old friend of King Starman, it's time to settle the score with him… I'm starting to regret that I didn't put an end to him back then…"
"Eetz not-a your fault-a," Mario told him. "Eet makes sense that-a you cannot-a smite-a down someone who wuz your friend."
"Yeah, I may have a hard time trying to attack someone who used be so close to me too," Captain Falcon said. "We don't blame you for this."
"There's something approaching over the horizon!" Samus suddenly said to them.
"What?!" Everyone turned to look at the distance and saw several specks approaching, and when they got closer, they turned to be Meta-Ridley and his spaceship fleet.
"What are those?!" Red said in surprise.
"Space Pirates…" Samus grumbled. "No matter how many times you strike them down, they'll never surrender!"
"Looks like that unless we defeat them, we won't be able to get to King Starman's base so easily," MH said. "We shall engage them then!"
"Haha! Time to vent out some anger!" Bowser said excitedly while flexing his arms.
The Final Destination stopped moving and hovered in place and Meta-Ridley stopped in the air before them and said, "You Smashers are asking for a death wish for coming here! And what's this you're riding on? Don't tell me that you call this a spaceship! That's the lamest and most boring kind of spaceship I've ever seen! I can easily crush it with my weight!"
"Why, thanks for the criticism!" Crazy Hand said. "But too bad you won't get any gold medals for that."
"Yeah," Ness nodded, "Have you ever heard of critics who are given prizes of honor and and are highly respected by people?"
"None of that I know," G&W said, shaking his head. "Even if they do get one, it's only because they criticize about not being honored so much that people gave them one just to shut them up."
"What you said is true and all," Fox told them. "But let's not take it too far or else someone might get offended…"
Meta-Ridley raised his arm into the air and then pointed at the FD while saying out loud to his army, "Destroy them all!" And the spaceships charged forward.
BGM: vs. Meta-Ridley
"Everyone! This is the perfect opportunity to put to use your weapons!" MH said to the Smashers. "Let them rip and witness the power that they possess!"
"You don't have to tell me that!" Falco said as he ran ahead with his Atomic Gun in his hand. "I can't wait to try out this new baby!" He pointed at one of the incoming spaceships and pulled the trigger, and a large blue beam suddenly shot out from the turret and blasted through the spaceship from the front, instantly destroying it. Not only that, but the beam also continued to go through the spaceships at the back, and thus Falco ended up taking out more spaceship then he had intended. "Whoa man! Talk about immense firepower!"
Another spaceship swooped by and fired lasers rapidly against the floor. Mario dodged the lasers fired at him and when the spaceship flew back into the air again, he held his Fire Rod to the side and then swung it like a baseball bat. In doing this, the length of the rod suddenly increased and it managed to strike the spaceship from the side and sent it flying. "Mamamia! Eetz cool!" Mario said.
"I didn't lie to you when I said its length could stretch right?" MH said to him.
"If that is the case, then mines should be able to do the same thing too!" Luigi thought. He looked up to see Meta-Ridley who was flying in one place and thought that it was time he did something to prove himself a man. "I'm going to see how strong my weapon is!" He pointed his Thunder Rod diagonally upwards at Meta-Ridley who looked at him curiously. "Grow long and hit him!" The Thunder Rod did indeed grow long, but in the wrong direction.
The rod grew backwards instead and when it touched the floor, the front part was pushed into the air and Luigi was carried along at a fast speed. "NOT LIKE THIS!!!! EEEEEEEEEKS!!!!"
Luigi went in the direction of Meta-Ridley and the SP captain simply swatted the incoming plumber in green and sent him flying back onto the FD and his rod instantly reverted to normal size again. "What a joke…" Meta-Ridley grumbled. Suddenly, he heard Samus shouting at him.
"Ridley! Get ready for this!" she said. Her arm cannon glowed with various different colors and then a concentrated beam was shot in his direction. The beam came at such a fast speed that Meta-Ridley barely had time to react. He quickly shielded himself using his arms but the power of the beam was so strong that was still blown backwards quite a bit of a distance and his arms were severely burned.
"GAAAAAAAH!!!!" he screamed while shaking his arm to get rid of the burning feeling. "What the hell was that?! Why you?! I'm getting angry now! DIE!!!" He then opened his mouth and released a huge blast of energy.
Dr. Mario quickly got in front of Samus and held up his Heal Staff. The circle at the tip glowed brightly and a circular shield was formed around him. The energy blast was nullified when it touched the shield and Dr. Mario and Samus were both unharmed.
"What the?!"
"This is the power of the Holy Weapons!" Mewtwo said to him. The psychic Pokemon appeared above him with his Psychic Spoon in his hand. "Even though I've only started using it, I'm starting to understand how it works already." And he swung the spoon right into Meta-Ridley face just as he turned to look at him and smacked him across the air while doing 'cartwheels'.
"Ugh!" Meta-Ridley came to a stop and growled angrily at the fact that he was being beaten around. "You'll pay for this! Die!" His chest opened up and several missiles shot out and went in the direction of Mewtwo, but before they touched him, fireballs shot down from below and eliminated the missiles. "Now what?!" He turned to the FD and saw that it was Roy who did this by shooting fireballs out of his Binding Blade.
"It's your turn!" Roy said as he shot out another barrage of fireballs. As the fireballs were about to him, Meta-Ridley quickly reached to a spaceship that happened to be flying by him and grabbed it by its tail and pulled it right in front of himself to use it as a shield. The spaceship and the Space Pirate inside were made to be a sacrifice for the ruthless captain.
"Man! He used his own men as a shield! How worse can he get?!" Bowser said.
The spaceship was still burning, and Ridley, still holding it by its tail, used it like a flail and swung it in circles a few time before hurling it towards the FD. "Watch out!" Pikachu cried.
"Quickly whack it away with your bat, Ness!" MH shouted to Ness.
Ness, who was busy taking on some of the spaceships, nodded and quickly ran to the where the burning spaceship was going to crash into. When it was near, he swung the Ultimate Bat and the ship was sent flying back like a baseball towards Ridley.
WHACK!
"What?!" Meta-Ridley said in shock, and he was rammed with full force by the homecoming burned ship. "GAH!!!"
"Whoa! That's what I call a homerun!" Ness commented. "This thing really can sent things flying, even the lasers!"
Meta-Ridley tore apart the spaceship in front of his face and growled angrily. "I'm really angry now! I'm going to tear every single one of you by myself!" With a roar, he swooped towards the FD at a very fast speed.
Everyone quickly got out of his way as he sped across the surface, but Bowser spread out his arms and managed to catch Meta-Ridley by the head and started to wrestle against him. "Grrrr!!! You won't beat me when it comes to strength!" Bowser said.
"Yeah right!" Meta-Ridley growled, and then he opened his mouth and started churning energy within his throat. However, Bowser did not give him the chance to pull this off; while his mouth was wide open, Bowser jabbed his claw inside and poked him in the uvula. This caused Meta-Ridley to yelp in pain and he fell back and the energy breath shot into the air instead and shot down some of his own men.
"Bowser Body Slam!" Bowser then leaped above him and withdrew into his shell and the shell performed a spin in air once before falling down at a fast speed and smashed Meta-Ridley in the chest incredibly hard, making him yell in pain.
Meta-Ridley angrily got back up and pushed Bowser away and his tail rose into the air and was going to spear into him when suddenly Marth dashed past his tail and sliced it off using the Durandal.
SLASH!
"GAAAAH!!! WHAT THE?!?!" Meta-Ridley cried in pain turned his head to his back to look at his severed tail, and then he glared angrily at Marth. "How dare you?! YOU MUST DIE!!!" He angrily charged at him with his mouth wide open. He chomped his mouth down, but Marth moved out of the way swiftly and then delivered another quick slash across the side of his body and the SP captain cried in pain again.
"How's your new sword coming along?" Roy asked Marth.
"Not bad," he replied. "A tad bit heavy, but I can swing it mostly without problem. This shows that I still have rooms for improvement though."
Meta-Ridley recovered from his wounds and glared at the Smashers angrily, but they were all glaring back at him angrily as well. "We've defeated the rest of the Space Pirates already!" Samus said to him. "You're the only one left, so give it up!"
"Like hell I'm going to give up!" Meta-Ridley shouted angrily. "Until all of you die before my eyes, I'm not going to give up!" His chest opened up and several missiles were launched at them, and they quickly got away to avoid getting him.
Samus rolled to the side and fired at Meta-Ridley but he got out of the way and then charged at her at a very fast speed and swiped his hand into her face and knocked her away. "Ugh!"
Meta-Ridley then pressed down his hand on her chest tightly to keep her from moving and opened his mouth to ready to blast energy into her, but all of a sudden, he was stabbed in the back by Ganondorf with his trident. "GYAAAAAAH!!!"
Meta-Ridley pulled back and shook violently to get Ganondorf off. The Gerudo pulled the trident off and then leaped over his head and performed a powerful stomp over his head. "Thunder Stomp!" The stomp was so hard that Meta-Ridley was pushed forcefully onto the floor with tremendous force.
WHAM!"
"Yoshi! Here I come!" Yoshi ran towards Meta-Ridley as he was about to get back up and smashed his mace into his face really hard.
Meta-Ridley yelled in pain and quickly moved back as far as he could, but Captain Falcon caught up to him and forcefully thrust his spear right into his chest. "Take this!" Meta-Ridley screamed in pain as the spear went deep into his body, and then CF pulled it back out from his body after landing an additional kick into his guts.
"Argh! You bastards! I'm going to bombard you all from the skies!" Ridley growled. He spread his wings and was going to take off into the air when suddenly Fox and Falco each fired at his wings using their weapons, and the beams instantly tore through the wings and left large holes. "WHAT THE?!?!"
"You're finished!" Samus shouted. She ran up close to Meta-Ridley and fired the Hyper Beam at a very close range.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!!
With his body severely battered, Meta-Ridley was blasted across the place and off the edge of the FD. Unable to fly due to torn wings, the SP captain could do nothing but scream as he plummeted towards the rocky terrain below in flames.
The Smashers ran to the edge to see him but they could only see a fiery explosion down there.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
"Ha! There he goes with a fiery bang!" Falco said. "Had I not destroy his wings, he would've flown back up!"
"I guess this will be the last we see of him," Pikachu said.
"Let's hope…" Samus said.
"Well done! You guys really made good use out of the weapons!" MH said to everyone. "I bet you know how to use your weapons correctly by now."
"You didn't do anything…" Peach said.
"Where's the fun if I handled everything myself and not giving you guys a chance to do anything? Come on, there's no time to lose. We must head over there at once…"
-
Some time later, King Starman was currently in his base walking down a massive room that had several jails which contained all sort of bizarre creatures behind the bars. As he was approaching the large door in front of him, the door suddenly exploded. "So they have come," he thought.
The smoke from the destruction of the door cleared and the Smashers including both the Hands were came into the room. "King Starman!" MH said.
"I would assume that the Space Pirates fail in the end," KS said. "I never really believed that he would succeed anyway."
Bowser stepped forward and said to him, "You better get ready for some painful butt-whooping! You're going to get it soon! And by the way, are you surprised to see me alive?"
"I would assume that one of the legendary weapons revived you."
"Tsk… I was hoping to see a surprised face from you… You always have that same boring face… But then, you don't seem to have a visible face aside from the eyes anyway."
The Smasher heard growling sounds and they looked to the side to see the strange creatures locked up. "What are those…?" Nana asked in fear.
"All these are my creations," KS replied. "Look at what the wonders of science has done! Only someone with talents like me can create such a thing, but unfortunately the world could not open its eyes to see my marvelous achievements! Am I right, Master Hand?"
MH growled angrily at hearing this, Fox stepped up for him saying, "Master Hand wasn't wrong that time! He was simply trying to stop you from producing dangerous things that can potentially be harmful!"
"And also," Peach added, "It's very cruel to try harmful experiments on animals and turn them into monsters! Don't you feel guilty for all these innocent animals?"
"The pain of others I do not feel," KS replied coldly. "In fact, seeing the suffering of others only makes me delighted. I can do whatever I want and I could care less for what happens to the people around me!"
"How cruel…"
"I've never heard such heartless words!" Sheik (Zelda transformed when fighting the pirates) said with a tinge of anger.
"You haven't changed at all…" MH said to KS. "I was hoping that you would learn from your mistake and that we can get along with each other again…"
"The same can be said about you, old friend," KS told him. "I still remember very well the time that you shot me in the body and left me badly scarred. From this, I have learned that all friends will become enemies and that trust and good relationships will only bring betrayal. You have taught me all these!"
Suddenly, Ness stepped forward and shouted, "Wrong! There is no such thing! True friendship would never end in such a way!"
"Yeah! You're the one who is wrong all along and Master Hand only wanted to change you!" Young Link said. "Yet you only see this as harm done to you and refuse to admit what you did wrong!"
"Did you really think Master Hand would enjoy striking down his own friend?!" Roy said. "Imagine how his heart must've been torn in two when he had to attack his own friend! Have you ever thought about this feelings?!"
"Forget it," CF said. "I bet it's useless talking to him about all these. He is stuck up to his own beliefs and there is no way we can convince him."
"Your unmoral beliefs shall be the death of you," Mewtwo said in a cold tone. "Your evil ways shall end here! We shall now accomplish what Master Hand failed to accomplish five hundred years ago!"
"Death is something that shall never happen to me," KS said. "Rather, it is you people who shall experience death! You should be honored to the first people to become the white mice for my bioengineered beasts!"
He raised his left hand into the air and a signal wave came out from the tip of his finger. This caused all the jails to swing open and each of the monsters stepped out. There were several kinds of monsters such as a giant ant, a plant monster, a terrifying horned beast, a bizarre monster that was covered in hair, and several more that you will find out in the next chapter.
KS floated into the air and said, "Let's see if you can make your way through this hell of monsters and find me. Only then shall I use my own hands to bring you down!" After saying this, he disappeared.
"Smashers… Perhaps it was my mistake that all these happened…" MH said. "But now I shall make up for my mistake… We shall put an end to this today!"
"Don't-a forget-a that-a we're on your side!" Mario said to him.
"I won't allow him to hurt anymore animals!" Peach said.
"I'm going to make sure that guy gets what he deserves for killing me once!" Bowser growled.
"Wah… Giant monsters… Why am I here…?" Luigi said with fright while he legs shook.
"Looks like I'm going to start getting busy as a doctor…" Dr. Mario said with a sigh.
"Yoshi! I can do this!" Yoshi said with determination.
"I'm strong! I can definitely beat them all!" DK said, flexing his muscles.
"Like some giant monster is going to kill me! I won't die here!" Link said.
"I'm going to give my best!" Sheik said.
"I can win for sure!" YL said.
"Heheh! This will be fun!" Ganondorf said with a smirk.
"I must be brave, pika!" Pikachu told himself.
"Jiggly! Scary monster! I no afraid!" Jigglypuff said.
"Pichu! Bring it! I can be cute and deadly at the same time!" Pichu said.
"The end is near," Mewtwo said. "Now is the time I fight seriously!"
"Looks like you guys will be working out a lot," Red said while reaching for his Pokeballs. "I'm counting on you all!"
"This is going to take a lot of energy, but that means I can eat till my heart's content afterwards!" Kirby thought.
"Let's put an end to this!" Fox said.
"Ha! I can take on all of you by myself!" Falco boasted.
"Time to show my moves to you all!" CF said out loud.
"I will destroy all those that are a threat to the world and my friends!" Samus said.
"Time to put forth my sword skills to its fullest!" Marth said as he held up the Durandal with both hands.
"I will not lose for the sake of everyone!" Roy said.
"I'll deliver a spectacular homerun using this!" Ness said, pointing his bat at the monsters.
"We can make it as long as we fight together!" the Ice Climbers said.
"This is going to be the roughest day of my life, but somehow I'm trembling with excitement!" G&W said.
"Yeehaw!!! Let us the craziness began!!!" CH howled with excitement.
TO BE CONTINUED
Before you can complain about how not all the weapons were seen being used in this chapter, I might as well tell you that if I would to show off them all here, then there would be nothing to look at in the next chapter.
