Smash Brothers Civil War

Chapter 38: King of Subspace

Subspace

The Abyss

The Smashers arrived at a deep, dark abyss. They saw nothing beyond that except a grand illuminating blue light. For some reason, there were no sounds of terror or prayers heard, aside from the sound of lightning storms across the dimension. They looked around and realized there was nothing else to see. They wandered around in search of a way around the abyss, but couldn't.

"Guys, we can't cross this abyss. I don't even see if there's any land beyond it", observed Samus.

"No way!...I think we've...reached the edge of Subspace", said Bowser with a shocked face.

"What?! There's no way that's true", Lucina backed away.

"Relax. Then it must mean this place isn't all too scary", said Dark Pit.

"But what about those people who we hear pray?", Lucina cried out. Dark Pit started to get annoyed by her constant cries.

"Urgh, if they were praying for that 'god' of theirs, then we're good as dead!", shouted Dark Pit. Lucina turned her face in fear.

"Seriously. Can you stop trying to scare her?", said Samus.

"Don't interfere, human", Dark Pit told her off.

"What did you say, you brat?", Samus shot back.

"Are you planning to remove me as well? It doesn't matter to me. I just want to see if this god is true or not", said Dark Pit.

"Enough Pitto!", Palutena stared down at Dark Pit, but the evil angel appeared unafraid.

"What's this? All of a sudden, you're interested to see if this being is even more powerful than you", Dark Pit flashed a devilish smile.

"To be honest, yes", Palutena blankly told the archangel.

"Pitto, leave Lady Palutena alone", Pit gave a warning.

"It's not your business. And I told you to stop calling me Pitto. I'll make you dead. Just you wait", Dark Pit threatened.

"Now is not the time to making threats. What if this god is already watching us?", Pit told his other half.

"Then allow him. It won't matter for long when I stab through his insides with my blades", Dark Pit responded.

"I think we've heard enough. We have to focus on the main task ahead", said Bowser.

"Now. Who made our leader?", Dark Pit questioned.

"I'm the one who chose to be the leader. I saved everyone from certain demise", said Bowser.

"Ha! That doesn't make you a true leader. Pathetic", Dark Pit spat out. Bowser, although a bit angry, kept his cool.

"What doesn't matter is who gets to lead the team. Whether or not you care about anyone, including yourself, at least join to survive in a fateful battle", said Bowser.

"Hm...well you do make a valiant point there, wise creature. Shall we continue on then?", Dark Pit stopped.

Samus and Snake were especially impressed by Bowser's leadership skills. Mario, however, remained in the dark and only focused on Peach being safe.

"I'm impressed, Bowser. It seems your old life being destroyed really changed you for the better", said Samus with a smirk.

"Nothing's changed for the most part. I'm just an effective ruler, that all. I know how to run a kingdom and how being a leader works", Bowser told them.

"Yeah, but still you amaze me every day. Even Snake, who was the only one who never trusted you openly, now thinks you're a good leader", added Samus. Snake did not give a look and looked forward, still healing his wounds from before.

"Why would you think that?", asked Bowser.

"I mean, I would take leadership right away, but you convinced me otherwise that we need you. We were locked in a civil war and you had the courage to save us even though you were thought to be dead", said Samus.

"If you really think I'm capable of leading this team, then maybe I should be the leader one day", Bowser replied.

Mario went up to the front of the group and continued to walk as if everyone was following him instead. After numerous attempts to find a path beyond the Abyss, there was no possible option to go anywhere. Not that they were going anywhere anytime soon-

The Smashers came to observe the glowing blue light above the Abyss. It flashed incredible amounts of electricity and continuously flashed a blue glow of light. Two strands of the blue light escaped and grew into a pair of colorful wings. The blue light slowly transformed into a humanoid. A powerful prayer was heard, shaking everyone, as the being took form. For some reason, it felt like a theme song as the orchestra began. It was a mix of metal and choir.

The Smashers looked in shock over who they were up against this time. Not mysterious floating hands, Koopa soldiers, registration forces, or even the deadly zombies called nanites, but a deity of unmentionable power. The being retracted his colorful wings and dished out golden chained blades. He mercilessly whipped the blades without touching them. As a matter of fact, he had his arms crossed, not moving a muscle. It means he's telekinetic.

The being forced the blades back, obviously taunting the Smashers at whim. The being edged closer to the Smashers without movement. He spoke in a tone that was strange from previous enemies fought. Instead of a dark booming voice, a sinister laughter, or a creepy sound, his voice was calm and echoing.

"Hello. It is an honor to finally meet you all", said the being, as electricity flashed around him.

"Who...are you?", asked Bowser in a low toned voice.

"...I am Tabuu."
