JakeCrusher: Is the Wily Machine bigger than the Metal Gear X?
Game2002: Yes, about twice its size. Also sorry for misinterpreting your question the first time.
Chapter 36
Wonder Town No More
"OH MY GOD!!! WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!" Luigi screamed out loud, pointing to the direction of the office building. His hat shot up and his hair stood upright because he was really shocked too. Both Tails and Setsuko were freaked out as well.
"Whoa man… That thing just like… popped out of nowhere…" Captain Falcon said. "What is that…?"
-
From the harbor, the people who managed to get onto the ship, which still hadn't departed, could see something big at the office building and they were all equally frightened. "What is that thing?!" Pikachu gasped.
"Scary!" Jigglypuff commented.
-
So what was it that they exactly saw? I'll tell you what they saw. Right next to the side of the office building was something gigantic and demonic in appearance.
It had a demonic face with a pair of horns on its head, massive bat-like wings growing out of its back, and gigantic arms with really long and sharp claws. This thing didn't have any legs, but it had a long lizard-like tail and hovered in the air using its wings as well as burners on its back.
In summary: It was a gigantic monster or demon of sorts and was also mechanical in appearance.
As the giant demon slammed its hand into the side of the office building, a loud voice was shouted coming from the demon, "FAIL HARDER!!!!! GYAHAHAHA!!!"
Then we zoom inside the head of the giant demon and saw none other than Failhard sitting in front of the controls and pounding away on it. "FAIL!!! FAIL!!! FAIL HARDER!!!! GYAHAHAHA!!!" he laughed manically. "FAAAAAAAIL HAAAAAARDER!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
-
Within the buildings, the others saw the gigantic demon outside from the office windows and they were equally freaked out by its appearance. "The voice just now… It's Failhard!" Snake gasped.
"I thought he was tossed into prison on this island! What is he still doing here?!" Samus asked.
"That's what I'm wondering!" Wily said. "I have no idea what's going on too!"
"Are you sure you have nothing to do with this like setting him free secretly or anything?" Snake asked him.
"No! I swear! I know nothing about this!"
Then Jirachi flying into the room and everyone turned his or hers to it. That was when Wily noticed something written on one of the tags coming down from Jirachi's hat. He looked closely and read it out loud, "Create a gigantic and powerful robot, the Demon Overlord… What the heck?! Did he make a wish on Jirachi?!"
"He really did!" Red said in shock. "But how?! Did Jirachi's eye opened for him?"
"Better question: How did he get here in the first place?!" Falco asked.
The whole place began shaking again to the point where it was getting dangerous as the ceiling and walls started to crack even more. "Let's get out of here first!" Fox shouted. "We can't stay here any longer!"
Everyone quickly headed out of the room along with Jirachi and ran in the direction of the elevator, but Fox stopped them. "Are you guys crazy!? Riding an elevator in an emergency situation like this?! Don't you know the rules of safety about using the elevator?!"
"But running down the stairs take-a too long!" Mario claimed.
"It's safer that way! Who knows what may happen if we use the elevator? We may get trapped in there and die!"
"He's right," Sonic said. "We should just use the stairs instead. Running down is easier than running up, so it's no big deal."
"For you at least," Samus reminded him.
"Anyway, let's just use the stairs! We must move fast!" Fox said, and thus everyone had no choice but to follow him down the stairs. They rushed down each step as fast as their legs could carry them and tried to dodge the falling debris as well. Sonic had to hold back his speed so the others can catch up with him.
The shaking started to become more and more violent as the Demon Overlord attacked the building even more. As the Smashers were down to the 20th floor, the walls started to break apart and just as they set foot onto the 19th floor, the entire top half of the building was torn away when the Demon Overlord tore it off. Lifting the upper half of the building into the air, the Demon Overlord flung it at the town and crushed many things with it. The Smashers were all scared by the towering size of the gigantic demon robot. "My god… Did Failhard really wish for this…?" Fox asked.
Everyone turned to Jirachi who had a guilty look on its face, and it nodded as a response to show that it did indeed grant Failhard this wish. Then faint yellow light came out from Jirachi's body and then they all heard a voice speaking in their heads. "That man came into the room all of a sudden and took me out from the capsule I was encased in," the voice said. "He then pried open my third eye using force and because of that, I was forced to read his minds in order to know what his wish was, and that thing is what he wished for…"
"Who was talking to me?" Wario asked.
"It's telepathic communication," Green explained. "Some psychic Pokemon are capable of transferring their thoughts to other people and let them understand what they are saying. So it's true that Jirachi really did grant Failhard's wish."
"If we have time to stand here chatting, we might as well make a run for it first!" Wily said. "Do you guys want to die or what?! Let's get out of here first before deciding on what to do!"
-
Back within the town, the whole place was largely demolished thanks to the building that the Demon Overlord threw. The Smashers and the Straw Hat Pirates, who were all originally fighting the four robots, got up from the debris and looked at the giant robot in the distant. "That was dangerous!" Luffy yelled. "Watch where you throw that thing!"
"Look at the size of that thing… How are we going to take it down…?" Sanji wondered.
"I admit; it's a big too big for us to handle…" CF said.
"FAIL HARDER!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHA!!!" The Demon Overlord pulled back its head and opened its mouth as fire started to churn within it. It then opened its mouth and a huge blast of fire was shot at the town below.
"Watch out!" Mewtwo shouted. Everyone quickly ran for a safe location as the fire spread throughout the place, burning up the buildings.
As if this wasn't enough, the fingers of the Demon Overlord opened up and missiles shot out from each of the ten fingers and rained down on various parts of the town that isn't the harbor. These missiles were very destructive in power and the whole island was more or less demolished by them all.
BAAAAAAAAANG POW BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!
"Dammit! Run for it first!" CF shouted. "We can't deal with that thing here! Run to safety first and come up with a plan later!"
"Okay! Everyone, we're going back to our ships first!" Luffy shouted to his crew while he ran, and then he turned to the Smashers, "It was nice to fight alongside you guys. Let's meet again some time!"
"Good luck to you guys!" Bowser said, giving a thumb up as the SH went their own direction.
"C'mon, let's head for the harbor first and see if everyone there is all right," Marth suggested.
"Wait a minute, Mario and the others are still at the office building!" Luigir brought up. "What do we do about them? We can't leave them here!"
Ganondorf turned around and saw that the entire town was more or less covered up in a sea of fire and he said, "Looks like we can't run back anymore…"
-
"My god…" Fox said in horror. The Smashers in the main office saw the destruction caused by the Demon Overlord through the windows. It was without doubt an unpleasant sight. The whole town was covered in a sea of fire.
"If we do not stop that thing, I can't believe the damage it can continue to do…" Samus said. "Something needs to be done fast!"
"Let us leave this place as fast as possible," ROB suggested. "The chances of encountering danger are high if we were to stay here any longer."
As they continued to descend the stairs, Snake suddenly remembered something. "Ah! I forgot about my Metal Gear X!"
"Forget that already!" Ike said to him. "Your life is more important currently."
"That's true, but I can still bring it along with me," Snake told him. He got out the controller and pressed some button combinations on it, and then the ceiling in the room before them burst open and the robot came crashing down to the same floor. "There! I'll let it go down to the bottom floor first." He pressed the buttons again and the Metal Gear X jumped up and then stomp back down on the floor so hard that it broke apart and the robot went down by itself first.
"Okay, let's get going," Ike said.
"Wait a minute…" Falco said. "How about we try jumping down that hole? We can get to the first floor in a jiffy."
"But we're on the 16th floor and it's still a long way down…" Fox reminded him. "It's dangerous, you know?"
"I've fallen from heights taller than this and survived," Sonic told him.
"Wait a minute…" Snake said. He ran up to the hole on the floor and looked all the way down it where he could see the Metal Gear X from above. "I think I know a way to deal with that monstrosity!" He then turned to Jirachi and said to it, "Hey you! Can you listen to this wish of mine?"
"What? You want to make a wish now? We don't have time!" Green told him.
But Snake ignored him and said his wish out loud for everyone to hear. "I wish that my Metal Gear X can grow to gigantic proportions in order to combat that giant monster! I want to be able to pilot it myself from the inside too! Can you grant me this wish?" But Jirachi just looked at him with a rather expressionless face as if it didn't understand. "Hey, are you listening to me?"
"I told you already," Green reminded him. "Unless Jirachi opens it third eye, your wishes cannot be granted. When it will open is all up to its mood."
"Your wish sounds neat and all, Snake," Red said to him. "But I think this isn't the time to be doing this… We should focus on escaping from here first."
Suddenly, the whole place shook again and the ceiling started to crack and fall apart. "Oh no! Eetz getting worse! Let's-a get outta here!" Mario cried.
Pieces of the ceiling began to fall and they raised their hands over their heads to protect themselves. Jirachi was scared the sight of the debris falling everywhere and lowered its hat over its eyes to cower in fear and it failed to notice a piece of the ceiling falling from above it. Red saw this and quickly rushed over to protect the Pokemon. "Watch out!" He quickly grab the Pokemon and used his body to cover it from the ceiling piece and thus he ended up getting hit by it himself and was crushed onto the floor. "Gyah!"
The floor also broke apart due to this and Red, Jirachi and the ceiling pieces all fell through it, and because Snake was standing nearby at that time, he was also dragged down along and they fell through several floors at once. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
"RED!!! SNAKE!!!" Fox gasped in shock. They all looked down the edge and saw that they have fallen about three floors down and Snake was lying seemingly unconscious on the floor.
"Are you guys all right!?" Samus shouted to them.
"I'll go check," ROB said, and he used his burners to descend to the lower floor and checked on Snake. "Are you still alive?"
Snake groggily got up and said, "Yeah, I can still live for many years… Red!" They both quickly dug up the debris and eventually found Red injured underneath the pile and he had Jirachi underneath him and the Pokemon was mostly unharmed because he used his body as a shield to protect it. "Red! Are you all right?"
Snake shook him by the shoulder over and over until Red groaned and slowly looked up. "I'm fine… This is nothing at all…" He looked down at Jirachi and said, "Don't worry; I won't let anything happen to you…"
Snake then lifted him up by an arm to carry him on his shoulder and Red used his other free hand to hold Jirachi and they quickly ran for the staircases. "Quick! We're almost down there!" Snake said. "Just hold on a little longer!"
-
"Wait for us!!!" Luigi yelled out loud as he and the rest of the Smashers charged towards the harbor and the ship was just starting to set sail.
"There are still people on that island!" one of the sailors shouted. This report passed down the captain and the ship once again closed in on the harbor to allow these latecomers to get on.
Luigi fell to his knees in relief knowing that he finally caught. "Up… Safe…"
"Where are Mario and the others?" Peach asked him.
"They went to the office building and never came back," Bowser said.
"But we can't leave without them! They might need help!"
"Don't worry," Mewtwo told her. "I plan to return there to help them. I assure you that they will all come back safely."
"But that thing…" Ness said, pointing to the Demon Overlord that could be seen in the distance.
"That could be a problem… But don't worry; I'll find a way around this."
As Mewtwo prepared to leave, he could see three jets taking off not too far away and he knew that those were the Wolfens. "Looks like I'm not the only one heading there," Mewtwo said.
-
The Smashers finally made it to the first floor of the office building and there they could see the Metal Gear X standing on the floor, which is cracked but is in no worry of falling down since there are no more floors underneath. "Good to see this safe and sound," Snake said.
"All right! Let's leave here as fast as possible!" Fox said.
As they ran for the exit, the whole place shook again and the ceiling in front of the exit suddenly collapsed and blocked out the entrance, saving for a small opening at the top. "Oh no! How are we going to get-a outta like-a theez?!" Mario gasped.
"Don't worry; I can bust it down using my Metal Gear X!" Snake said. When he used the controller however, the robot did not move at all. "Uh? Strange…" He looked at a light that was on the controller and noticed that it was dim. "Damn! Out of batteries!"
"That thing runs on batteries!?" Samus asked with surprise.
"Dammit! And I don't have any spare batteries with me! What do we do?!"
"Just leave that thing here already!" Falco said to him. "You can't carry around that thing forever, can you?" Much as Snake didn't like the idea of leaving his creation behind, he had no choice but to go with this idea since there was no other way to transport the Metal Gear X around.
"I'll can just smash through those rocks and then we're out of here in a jiffy!" Wario said, cracking his fist. "Let me show you!"
"You can count on his help too," Green said. He called out his Machamp and commanded it to take out those rocks that were in front of the exit. Both Wario and the Machamp charged at the rocks and then with a heabutt and a Dynamic Punch respectively, they cleared away all the rocks in a single blow.
BANG!
"Ha! What did I tell you?" Wario said.
The Smashers quickly ran out of the exit afterwards, but suddenly a beam swept across the ground before them and an explosion occurred afterwards, blasting them all back.
BANG!!!
"Damn that thing!" Samus cursed, looking at the Demon Overlord which was behind the pretty much demolished building. "If only there is a way to take down something that big!"
Immediately, something came to Sonic's head and he snapped his finger and said out loud, "That's it! The Chaos Emeralds!" And then without saying anything else, he took off in the direction of the town as fast as he could.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Fox called out to him.
"He said da Chaos Emeralds," Mario told him. "That-a must-a mean he eez going to find da emeralds. Eef I rememba correctly, some of da emeralds can be found-a in da Technology Museum and he haz some of them with him too. Perhaps he wants to use da emeralds to take on da bad guy."
"Everyone!" called out a voice. They turned to the source and saw Mewtwo flying towards them in a hurry. "Glad to see that everyone is all right!"
"Mewtwo! You're here! With your help, we should be able to get out of here easier," Fox said.
"And then there are people who decided to help with the offense," Mewtwo added, and he pointed up to the sky where the three Wolfens were flying around and shooting the Demon Overlord.
-
"Take this, ugly one!" Leon shouted as he fired rapidly at the body of the Demon Overlord.
"Your hideous appearance disgusts me! You should not exist!" Panther shouted.
The three Wolfens fired away at the giant robot rapidly, but none of their shots seem to be doing anything. The Demon Overlord lifted its massive claw and then swung down on them, but they managed to avoid the attack. "Don't underestimate us just because we are small!" Wolf said to it. "We'll show you that size does not matter!"
"Gehehehehe!!! Fail harder!!!" the voice of Failhard shouted loudly. The head then took a deep breath and breathed out the burst of fire again. The Wolfens quickly got out of the way but the fire was also aimed downwards, right towards where those Smashers were.
"Incoming danger!" ROB said.
Mewtwo quickly lifted up his hand and formed a dome-shaped barrier to protect everyone from the incoming flames. The heat of the flame was so strong that they could also feel it from underneath the barrier. "Boy… I'm sweating…" Falco said.
"Hey, do you know what will happen if I fart now?" Wario asked, but everyone just gave him evil glares as a warning. "Fine… I'll forget it…"
As Mewtwo continued to hold up the barrier to protect everyone, Jirachi gave off a glow again and everyone heard its telepathic communication in their heads. "I thank you all for trying to protect me from all the danger," it said. "When the person called Snake told me his wish, I was afraid that it was going to be a terrible one, but I can see now that you are all victims of the first person's wish and you are all struggling to survive. If you people truly wish to do something about this, I will grant you another wish." And with this, the third eye on his stomach slowly opened up.
"Yes! The third eye is opened!" Wily exclaimed. "I…" But the Smashers grabbed him by the mouth and held him back to shut him up. "Oomph!"
"Really? You're really willing to allow us another wish?" Red asked Jirachi, who responded with a smile and a nod. He turned to Snake and said, "This is your chance! Fulfill the wish that you wanted just now!"
"You don't have to tell me this," Snake replied with a smile.
-
Meanwhile, Sonic was running by himself across the ruined streets of the town. There were several obstacles and burning stuffs in his way, but he had no problem getting around them as well as dodging falling obstacles. "The Chaos Emerald…" he said in his mind. "To think that all seven of them would meet in this place… Are they here by coincidence or did they have a consciousness and know that all this was going to happen? Either way, three of them are at the museum and the other four are back in our hotel, but the museum is nearest to where I am now. So long as I can get hold of even one, I can summon over the rest and use them to transform into Super Sonic!"
-
"Fail! Fail!! Fail harder!!! Gyahahahaha!" Failhard laughed manically as the Demon Overlord swung its claws around to hit the Wolfens which buzzed around it like annoying flies.
Then sparkles suddenly appeared a few meters away in front of it and both Failhard and the Star Wolf noticed this and were curious on what was happening. "What's that?" Leon wondered.
"I don't know, but the sparkles are so beautiful!" Panther commented.
Slowly, something big started to fade into existence from within the sparkles. It eventually became clear that it was a gigantic version of the Metal Gear X, though somewhat smaller compared to the Demon Overlord. "What is that?!" Wolf said in shock.
-
The Smashers down there were surprised by the appearance of this giant robot and Fox commented, "Whoa man… This is amazing…"
"It's huge…" Samus commented.
"Impressive…" Green said.
-
Inside the Metal Gear X, Snake found himself in front of the controls. No words could describe how excited he was feeling currently. He couldn't believe that he was actually taking control of a gigantic robot from within. "I can't believe it…" he said in awe. "This is a dream come true… I never thought I would be controlling something like this…"

The end is near already, so just sit back watch how everything rolls out in the end.
