Chapter Fourty-Eight

Opening up like a box, inside of the die was a blob. Slowly, it took the form of a large man with a board for a head. He had a crooked smile, along with wearing some sort of smock that had tools inside.

He chuckled, deeply and darkly. "Oh dear, oh dear… Looks like you've seen my other beta form… The true one, of what has been manifested over years and years…" No one was sure whether to scatter, or join in for yet another beat down. "I… Am the God of Games. You are all nothing but slaves to make me grow bigger… Worthless, weak, some who none would miss~"

Flandre snarled at him, lunging forward. "You! You started all of this! Lied to my friends… And me! Trying to lure me outside!" She controlled the anger, and her powers, letting out a magical blast that would do L.O.G in.

… It didn't leave a scratch on him. Flandre was stunned, and harshly swatted away with a ruler. Meta-Knight flew up to catch her. "He… He ignored Flan's attack!" Reimu stuttered, clearly afraid.

"I went easy all this time… But you're making me take out the more brutal toys now. If you really think you're capable of taking me on… Then by all means, chase after me." No one knew what he meant until they saw strings pulling up the God of Games into the abyss.

All everyone could do was stand still. Only Luigi stepped forward, holding a red block. "Mario!" The red plumber turned around. "You… You and-a Lady Blanc can get him! I believe in you! And… And everyone else!"

Breaking it open, the Wing Cap was there. Mario put it on while picking up White Heart's axe, then flew up to where the final challenge laid…

Meta-Knight tossed his sword, Galaxia, to Kirby. "Kirby! Get it!" Turning around, the pink puffball grabbed the blade and obtained the Master Ability. He then floated away towards Mario.

Kratos was unsure what to do, other than hand the longsword over to Sackboy. "… You may look like a small cretin created by an unusual force… But… You were compassionate towards me months ago. Treating me as if I was family… I don't understand it still." He then turned around. "Yet I know about how you had ridded of the Negativitron… If we worked side-by-side, we shall both slay this so-called God!"

Nodding, Sackboy activated his jetpack, flying upwards to follow. Kratos did the same with wings. Master Chief instantly activated a jetpack, joining them with Vert's lance in hand.

However what they didn't expect were Banjo and Kazooie ready to take flight. "I… I don't care if we're not ready for him!" The bear yelled.

"Whoa! Are you crazy?!" Conker asked.

"A little… But this guy betrayed our trust! Heck, if anyone's to blame besides Vert for Nuts n' Bolts bad reception, it's him for thinking it was a good idea to change up the play-styles of our games!"

Grunty then cackled. "For once bear and bird, you say the truth about this tu-"

"No rhymes! Please!" Frinnia growled. "If I cannot join in slaying of this last battle, then how can we help?!"

Samus then remembered. "The serum!" Snake and Sam Fisher nodded in agreement. "It causes permanent deletion, which means… If we can get the others out of him first and get him at a critical point…"

"L.O.G can be finished off for good, that is correct." Linda said, as everyone turned to her in surprise. "It deleted that rat… It works on video game characters, CPUs, and ASIC members alike."

"What are you doing here, missy?" The Gunstringer questioned, leering at her.

"… I have unfinished business. One of the villains working with the Lord of Games, was having plans of his own, which is the only reason he joined. I caught it actually a while ago, but never said a word in case something like this happened…" Underling lifted up her hood. "But, I don't expect you to follow with it, so… Whatever!"

They all began staring at the underling, not sure what to say.


God of Games held two small marionettes. One of Banjo, the other of Gruntilda. "How would you like this battle to go? Slow and painful? Or quick and over with?" Mario glared at him, raising the axe.

Kirby, Master Chief, Kratos, and Sackboy quickly followed. "Ah, so this is a group effort? Of course the big characters have to finish me… But if any fall, the other must take the next lead, yes?"

"L.O.G… What's-a the purpose of all of this?!" Mario barked.

"I went over this soooo many times… I've been a member of ASIC before, along with the Lady of Games. And… I must finish the work she didn't." Putting the puppets away, the God of Games took out another one that was cladded in pink and black robes, with a floppy-disk for a head. "She's beautiful… And those CPUs killed her. So! I had to cover myself up for a long time, just to get on their good side… Now I'm free, and soon she will too!"

"She's not coming back… And chances are, the goddesses were threatened by her first!" Master Chief pointed out.

"True, true… But then, what fun is there with letting this all slide? Why let worthless CPUs take everything? I'm the one people should all have… And soon, you'll see it my way! As time keeps flowing, and the worlds keep turning, I'll be in control! The rest of you will be nothing but puppets, mindless and only doing the master's bidding!"

Just as he finished that speech, a grenade egg hit him in the back of the head. Turning around swiftly, the God of Games saw Banjo and his feathered companion. "You… Of all of them, have the least chances of taking me down." Kirby took the chance to get a good swipe during the distraction.

A charged beam was released from Galaxia, slicing part of the God of Game's smock. Kratos followed up by piercing him during the blunder, and Mario sent a blow to his head. "Where is the fairness in this fight? Such brutal sabotage… Heheheh, you make me want to scream really~" Stretching out deformed arms, he grabbed onto the plumber first.

Though Sackboy attempted to break him free, G.O.G was far too stable. Even when Master Chief sent a few stabs, it did nothing. "This guy… He's only stunned a little by our attacks, even though we're using our goddesses! Is there something like a weak spot?" He grunted aloud.

Banjo processed that while flying around…

L.O.G, who was now G.O.G, was introduced in Nuts 'n Bolts. In almost every N64 Rareware title, every character had an unusual sort of phases or weakness… Sometimes it would be plain in sight, other times it had to be revealed.

"What would this guy, a self-proclaimed got that absorbed the goddesses and oracles, have for a weak point?" The bear wondered.

"You mean, what's cliché enough in this story to be a weak spot? Trust me Banjo, this story has been dragging on long enough, and the hints are right there! This guy likes to toy with people's hearts and all the CPUs have color-name heart…" Kazooie pointed out.

That gave Banjo a quick enough idea. "Uh, Sackboy! Over here!" Snapping out of it, the LittleBigPlanetian looked at him. "I have an idea, but we have to be quick about this!"

Master Chief finally managed to free Mario. The God of Games cackled in a horrible manner, then snapped his fingers. Assorted pixelated spheres launched at the two. Kratos used a Golden Fleece to knock them back, but G.O.G had no reaction other than a small flinch.

Sackboy bolted towards G.O.G and sliced off his smock. Utterly shocked, the God of Games tried to cover up what was revealed…

Lower sections of his green tuxedo were torn, as if decayed. Underneath was a ribcage made entirely of pixels, and a pulsating heart that flashed various colors. "My, oh my… You found my secret, how embarrassing… This cannot go unpunished!" Erupting from the inside of G.O.G's chest were black, wire-like tentacles.

They swiped at Sackboy, almost leaving a tear in his fabric. Another left a perfect open-cut in Master Chief's armor. In retaliation, Kirby flung himself at G.O.G, cutting away some of the wires and stabbing him in the chest.

Gagging, he flew back. A green spark flew out out of his chest. "Of all the things I could lose… No matter." This time, G.O.G classed hands together, showing a golden light. It proceeded to blind the group. "You separated one of those stupid oracles from my frame, but how many do you intend to free?"

Slowly he began pointing a finger at them. "M.P.B.L… Beta!" A ray was fired at them, but a majority shook it off in time to dodge it, except for Kazooie. The bird let out a squawk, before losing her energy to fly.

"Aw no! We gotta keep it up Kazooie!" Banjo gulped.

"Easy for you to say! I didn't expect him to hit this hard despite all the power he lost!"

"Oh stupid bear and bird… Among a majority, you were always some of the most interesting to me. Tarnishing your reputation was far too amusing, along with your friends and enemies." The grin became wider, as his voice began to crack. "It'll be even more fun… When I see you squirm under my grasp of death! You were always meant to be destroyed!"

Kratos snarled at him. "Lay a hand on anyone else, and I will make sure you are annihilated!" In response, he began to cackle. G.O.G stretched his arm towards the duo, who were trying to stay in the air. The God of War rushed towards his enemy, ready to cut him in two.

"Such violent threats… But can you really follow up on them against me?" Continuing to laugh, he choked Banjo and Kazooie hard enough to make them go unconscious from being unable to breathe. Afterwards, the God of Games threw them down.

In panic, Kirby went after them. "Kirby!" Mario shouted. The puffball gestured for him to go on without them. "Right! That's-a it… Here we go!" Swinging the axe, a harsh blow was sent to G.O.G's chest, in hopes of smashing the heart entirely. Kratos did the same, making two more lights, bluish-white and grey pour out.


Chika was instantly grabbed by Sho upon her fall. "This is a guess… But it seems that the oracles are coming out from L.O.G after each hit he receives. Perhaps he is weakening.

Many more arrived to the scene, watching the battle from far above. "Please… Let Nepgear be okay…" Purple Heart murmured.

"This monster needs to be destroyed after all he's done… We have to do it for Walters! And everyone else!" Splosion Man agreed, almost crying. There was so much commotion among the crowd. Some wanted to join in, others got into a fight over the safety of them.

Only when they saw Kirby drop off Banjo and Kazooie, did they realize how dangerous this opponent could be. When the puffball went back up, many began to worry…


A purple flicker came out of G.O.G this time. "So you managed to free the oracles… How annoying." He released a fake laugh, as Mario stood there. "What more are you going to get out of me besides them?"

"Free Master and-a Crazy Hand you fiend!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, famous plumber… And the one CPU. But then again, she was only a main character once… Do you really want someone as boring as that free to go?" They all glared at him, as Master Chief delivered another pierce to his chest.

Once again, a glow poured out of his core. This time, a purple-pink color. Growling, the God of Games threw himself at Master Chief. Punches were tossed, making pieces of glass fly out. "I'll use every last bit of power before I lose it completely if it means completely crushing one of you, and getting my way!"

Sackboy shuddered, while Kratos mumbled. "He's losing his mind it seems… We need to proceed with even more caution!" Master Chief managed to break free from G.O.G's fury, only for more threats to be delivered.

"I'll make sure that you're nothing more than mere bits of data… That I will personally store! Oh, how I love this sort of thirst! I crave to see you all torn apart… But how long can I go?! I can hear it… Satisfaction! Your pulses! Ready to pop!"

"You're insane!" Mario shouted.

"How long have I been holding it all in, plumber?! How long?! This sort of feeling would make anyone go crazy!" Releasing another blast of energy towards them, G.O.G didn't see Kirby return and slice his hand. "Argh!… How that stings!"

All their eyes widened upon seeing it be cut off cleanly. "Kirby… You were slightly admirable to me, yet you go off to do this?" The puffball glared at him. Sackboy activated an electric-fencer to shock the God of Games, so Kirby could chop the other hand away.

Mario cringed. The lack of hands missing reminded him of Tabuu all too much, not helping that he was from ASIC as well. "What's wrong? Do I remind you of someone we both knew? Oh, that's right… Tabuu was always such a pathetic option that ASIC went with to get rid of you Smashers!" More black wires were drawn out, which quickly wrapped themselves around Kirby.

The puffball cried out in pain. Kratos was about to attempt to free him, but found himself wrapped as well. Master Chief didn't want to take the chances at all…

And he knew of a solution.

"You two!" Sackboy and Mario lifted their heads up. "This is more familiar with us Microsoft characters, but we use some form of 'tag-team' attacks for certain partnerships… Are you willing to test this out?" He asked.

Slowly, they nodded.

Going first was Mario, who slammed G.O.G with the axe towards Sackboy. He proceeded to slice off the wires that were holding Kirby and Kratos. Another blow was delivered, sending him to Master Chief.

Constantly striking the God of Games, Master Chief flung him back over to Sackboy, who threw in a few more slashes before growing tired. That allowed Mario to deliver the last blow.

Raising the axe, he struck the G.O.G downward, straight into the ground…


Master and Crazy Hand were restored, as were the rest of the oracles. "Being trapped inside of his palms… I didn't think it was possible." The right-hand spoke, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.

Purple Heart stared at the gun-blade that fell from above, before it transformed into a girl in a sailor dress. "Nepgear!" She cried, hugging the younger sibling.

Standing there in a corner was Scervo, along with Remilia. "Lucky lass that one is… Her sister made it." His gaze tilted to the vampire. "That's why I said ye should treat yours better a little… Because you don't know what you have, until you lose it… My reunion only lasted fer a few minutes, and I'll never see 'im again…"

"You never know what fate holds in store." Xavier said, softly. "I had died, but was brought back by quite the unusual force called—"

That's when G.O.G's body slammed onto the floor dramatically. Many were tempted to jump him, but stopped. "This is it then… You have any last words to say?" Reimu threatened.

"Hahaha… Other than my back-up plan? Yes, soon he will find me… Whatever I lose, he planned to combine with himself in hopes of being more insane with power and unable to be destroyed. A win-win situation…" They all just stared blankly. "Er-hem, this is the part where you all go 'What?!', is it not? Or are you already too shaken up by—"

"The majority already knew thanks to Underling. M. Bison is being tracked down in hopes of chasing away as we speak. That's what happens when you bring so many game characters into one place… Besides, Toro already brought up how strange it was for someone like him to be working with anyone, especially you." Blinx replied, making the God of Games cringe.

"Ghhh… There is no way you can kill me entirely though! Even with your stupid overpowered CPUs, and glitches!" He snarled. Snake then approached him, holding a syringe. G.O.G stopped his struggling, and smiled. "Oh… Is this my true fate?"

"It ends here, L.O.G." Fisher pointed out, trying to pin him down with his own foot.

"Yes… Yes it does." His voice then stopped cracking, only to do back to a serene yet eerie one. "For me, it does. But for all of you?… Nothing but endless torment… Never to cease. Both before and after these events… Are you proud to know that no matter what you do, the future of Gamindustri is still bleak?"

No one answered… The syringe was stuck into him, and as the serum entered… He dissolved, slowly…

"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down… London Bridge is falling down… My… Fair… Lady…"


((The final battle… Done with.

I'm really sorry. This story has over 6,000 views and nine favorites, what the heck? I didn't expect this to be my most popular story. ._.;

For those who favorited/followed this, thank you to: ByrdBrain, DJ Meltdown of Ground Xero, Legionary Prime, Magic Detective, MissXenonious90, charlesfecht, god's executioner REBORN, jrarulez, and kyle115.

I have no idea how you people put up with my crap, much less this story with so many problems, lol.

Uhh… Now for some responses to reviews! I was supposed to do these ages ago, but was too much of a dweeb.

Game2002: Just wanna ask if you are aware that Touhou fan games are being ported to Sony consoles, which you can say makes the girls Sony characters now.

Answer: At the time, I wasn't aware, I don't think they were announced when I wrote/planned this out… But since they're fan-games, I honestly don't count them, as silly as that sounds. But that is an interesting concept! :D

jrarulez: What happened to King Dedede?

Answer: HE IS NOT FORGOTTEN! He along with most of the Smashers just didn't have a part in this story. But now I want to include him in the conclusions because I do love the Kirby series, and Dedede is one of my favorites, I regret not having him do much. ;;

Guest Review/Comment: F*** off.

Answer: That's rude, but at the same time, I was wondering when trolls would show up!… If you are one… Like, are you telling this to me? One of the people on the reviews page? One of the characters in the story?… Or is it an offer? :P [/shot down]

But yeah, I would like some context behind this. Unless you're just gonna comment and run…))
