Well, what's Master hand up to now? Find out zis time!
Zis is only an idle comment, but reviewing seems to have slowed up a little. BUT, I am ok with dat. As long as I know you people are enjoying the story, I'm fine.
Anyways, I'm sure you peeps wanna know what happens next, yes? If so, keep reading below, and do enjoy! Ah…this isn't exactly a funny chapter. It's more of a 'planning' chapter. So, it's the planning before the leaping, if you get what I mean.
Let's get rolling!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"ATTENTION ALL SMASHERS! ATTENTION ALL SMASHERS! MOVE YOUR KEISTERS TO THE AUDITORIUM ASAP! OR ELSE!" Master Hand bellowed into the intercom.
"Wow, good job!" Crazy commented. "You sure know how to threaten!"
"Ah, Shadap." Master Hand said. "I'll show you how good I am…"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"He likes doing that, doesn't he?" Midna asked Zelda.
"Yes, he does. EVERY time." Zelda said.
"I guess I'll have to get used to it." Midna shrugged.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Minutes later, everybody was back in the auditorium, but they were silent, as they knew this was a special, and important meeting.
"All right, as you all know, we have a BIG mess on our hands." Master hand said.
"You mean the mansion?" Falcon asked.
"No, I'm not worried about that right now." Master hand said. "Am I the only one who knows how dangerous Dhaos is?"
"Yes." Everybody replied in unison.
"O…k…It would appear I have some describing to do. Better yet, I have updated the hologram battle arenas with my memory. You all can travel to the Final Destination, and fight a 'safe' hologram of him. Anybody brave enough?" Master hand said.
"I'll give it a shot." Midna said determinedly.
"And I as well." Meta Knight said.
"I need a challenge." Samus said.
"Uh…Can I try? I need to become stronger!" Luigi said.
"Ok, then. Step up on the warp pad, and I'll control the battle." Master hand said. Samus, Midna, Meta Knight, and Luigi all stepped up to the teleporter, and they appeared on the screen that displayed battles.
"Now, keep in mind, you four, you can't be killed here, so don't be afraid to get KO'd. I'll give each of you one life, and Dhaos one too. I'll be impressed if you can beat him." Master Hand replied amusedly.
"Twenty lives against one…? I have a sudden feeling we aren't going to do so well." Midna replied thoughtfully.
"We must give it our best try. We can only improve by learning from our mistakes." Meta Knight said.
"I will not lose." Samus said.
Luigi didn't say anything, but he struggled to keep from panicking.
"I-I must brave my fear…" Luigi said finally. He loosened up a little, and stopped quivering. His will finally seemed to win out.
Suddenly, the arena went dark, and the only light came from the platform below.
They could vaguely hear Master hand yelling at Crazy hand, but the arena stayed dark.
"I wonder what that was about." Meta Knight said.
"Wouldn't know." Midna shrugged.
"I would assume Crazy's been messing with switches again." Samus said.
"Here he comes!" Luigi yelled.
A grey swirling portal opened up out of thin air. Dhaos walked right out of it, and merely looked at the smashers.
"Uh…Hello?" Midna said nervously.
"Hmmph." Dhaos grunted. He looked at them with scornful eyes. You could tell what he was thinking. 'Weaklings.'
"I'll show you!" Samus shouted angrily. Before she could do anything, Midna caught her arm, and said.
"Don't lose you head because of a stupid hologram. Try attacking him, and watch what he does." Midna suggested.
"…Fine." Samus sighed. She took a deep breath, and aimed her cannon at Dhaos, and launched a missile.
It flew at him at top speed, but he merely sidestepped it at the last second, and caught it.
"WHAT!!?" Samus cried in shock.
Dhaos smirked, and threw it back at them. They ducked as the rogue projectile flew over their heads, and exploded.
"That was enlightening." Meta Knight said.
"Now you see what I mean, right?" Midna asked.
"Yes, I do." Samus replied gruffly. "Let's see how he likes my light beam."
Samus switched her beam to light, and fired a beam of light at Dhaos again.
He held up his palm, and absorbed the energy in his hand, and then twirled around and aimed his other palm at her. The same beam of light, only a lot stronger and faster, shot from his palm and split into a dozen rays. The smashers put up their shields to block the attack, but they all were knocked off. They got back on with little difficulty, and Samus switched to her ice beam next.
Dhaos just swatted it aside carelessly.
Samus tried her Annihilator beam, but Dhaos caught the beam and absorbed it.
"Hmm. He seems to be immune to chaos energy. Let's avoid using such attacks unless absolutely necessary." Midna said. "Let's try normal attacks now. GO!"
They all dashed at Dhaos at the same time, but he warped behind them and ducked. He swung his hand outward, and hit Meta Knight with the thin side of his right hand. Meta Knight blocked with his sword in a blink of an eye, and the sent an energy wave at him. Dhaos summoned up a white barrier, and the energy blade merely turned into energy for Dhaos to use. Luigi used his green missile attack, and got a misfire. Dhaos sidestepped, and then blasted Luigi with a light blue beam.
Since it was a hologram, Luigi couldn't be vaporized, so he got blasted off the stage really far. He used his Green Missile attack again, and got another misfire. He managed to get back on the stage, but just barely.
Meta Knight swooped down like a bat, and slashed at Dhaos at least twenty times every swoop, but Dhaos seemed to speed up, and effortlessly block each and every swipe with just his hands. He swatted Meta Knight out of the air, and warped right next to him when he landed. He sweep kicked, sending Meta Knight into the air, and then he hit him with a focused beam of light. Meta Knight exploded, and went flying off the top boundaries, and he became a star in the background.
Dhaos spun around, and slammed his hands on the ground. A black oozy wave of darkness erupted in a line towards Samus, but she blasted it with a fully charged light beam. She followed up with a seeker shot, which split into five missiles and they all hit Dhaos at the same time. He reversed the directions of the missiles with some unknown type of magic, and they blew up away from him. Samus dived to the side to avoid a stray missile.
Luigi jumped at Dhaos, and tried to karate chop him, but he warped out of the way, and hit him fifty times in one second. Luigi's damage counter was already up at five hundred percent, and Dhaos finished him off with a light charged drop kick. Luigi became a star.
Midna, having taken no action yet, decided she had observed enough. She melted into a shadow, and disappeared into the ground. She pulled Samus underground before Dhaos could finish her off with a chaos beam. Midna let Samus go after the attack subsided, and she remained below the ground to plan how she could attack and get a few hits on him.
Samus quickly went to works with a drill kick, but Dhaos blocked with his palm again. Samus used his hand as a platform to kick off from, and she had to wavedash to avoid a dark beam. When she landed, she rolled to the side to avoid a dark wave, and then she went into morph ball mode. She rolled right over, and planted a power bomb, and then she used her booster ball to roll away really fast.
Dhaos stood there, and focused his energy on the bomb. Just as it exploded, he covered it in an indestructible barrier, and he contained the blast in time and froze it. He moved it over to Samus, and unfroze it. She could do nothing as the white hot explosion enveloped her and sent her flying off the stage, where she exploded.
Dhaos smirked.
BZZZT
He was enveloped by a surge of orange electricity.
"Hello. Nice to see you, Dhaos." Midna said menacingly. She barred her fangs, and released her attack.
Since his time powers were frozen, Dhaos could do nothing as Midna warped time, and tackled him two hundred times in five seconds. The energy imprisoning him finally wore off, and he merely shrugged the attack off. He aimed his index finger at her, and she couldn't move. He spun around again, and fired another thin beam of exploding light at her. The beam hit here right in the chest, and made her fly off the arena. She also exploded.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
There was a flash, and the four smashers fell off the warp pad, exhausted.
"See? What did I tell you?" Master hand said. "Being confident, brave, or smart isn't going to save your butt, unless you have the proper weapons." Master Hand said. "Have I made my point?"
"Yes…" Luigi groaned.
"Now, let's see the battle results." Master hand said.
"Ok…Dhaos's damage at the end of the battle was zero. He inflicted four thousand damage total, and the fight length was one minute.
"I feel useless." Meta Knight said sadly.
"Poyo…" Kirby said as he ran up. He patted Meta Knight on the back, and spoke more gibberish.
"I…Don't know what you just said, but I can tell you are trying to cheer me up." Meta Knight said.
"Poyo!" Kirby squealed.
"Very well. I await our plans." He replied. He flew to his seat, and heaved a huge sigh. Kirby floated over, and then released his air, and landed with a boing on his seat.
"For the first time in my life, I could do absolutely nothing…" Samus said in a blank voice.
"I know what to expect now…" Luigi said in a hopeless voice.
"I never battled before, but I helped Link…Sorry I didn't do anything…" Midna apologized.
"It's fine…We couldn't do anything anyways…" Samus said.
"Don't feel so bad, everybody." Master hand said. "We can win, I know it. We're just a long way from accomplishing our goals…"
"He was just…too strong…" Zelda said. "Do we even really stand a chance?"
"Not yet, you don't." Master hand said. "With your legendary weapons and everything, our chances of victory will greatly increase. Dhaos has no protection against these special weapons. They're blessed, and Dhao's power, which is death, stands little chance against it."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get the stuff!" Falcon said.
"Whoa, hold your horses. The equipment is spread across many worlds, and is very hard to find. We will have to split up into very tiny groups to gather the items quickly, and some of us may have to go alone." Master hand said.
"How many items are there?" Ganon asked.
"I can't remember. We had a lot, but we didn't have them all. If we get them all, we have even better chances of winning."
"Great. What's a good estimate of how many weapons there are?" Vyse asked.
"Hmm…could be a hundred or more." Master hand said.
Everybody gasped in shock at the absurd number of items.
"And you want us to go and collect them all?" Marth asked incredulously.
"Yes, I do." Master hand said.
Jigglypuff fainted and deflated.
"Pyo!" Kirby screamed.
"Mamma mia…" All of the Italian plumbers sighed at the same time.
"Before we make any decisions, we must first search the Library of the Ancients." Master hand said.
"You mean the long lost library of knowledge?" Zelda asked. "From what I understand, it was lost along with the Temple of Time, in times past."
"That place? I got the Master Sword there." Link said. "There's a strange portal that goes back to the Temple of Time."
"You're absolutely sure?" Master hand asked.
"Yeah, it's in the sacred grove in the lost woods." Link said.
"Just as I remembered…Now it's in ruins, you say?" Master hand asked.
"Yes…It's strangely beautiful there. It's sort of a sad place, like its had better times…" Link said.
"Hmm…I have decided. Link and I, with a few others, will travel to the Temple of Time, and find the library. Once there, we will locate the map tome, which is the book inscribed with the locations of the legendary weapons. The rest of you, under Crazy Hand, will stay here, and make sure nothing happens while we are gone. Once we get back, Crazy and I will translate the book, and then we will continue planning after that point. Understand?" Master Hand asked.
"So, you want me to pick who comes with us?" Link asked.
"Yes. You know the place best, since you were the first to visit in five thousand years." Master Hand said.
"Ouch. No wonder the place was so decrepit." Link said.
"I'm just surprised the place is still there, after all of these years." Master hand said.
"Ok, then. See you in the entrance hall?" Link asked.
"No, meet me up in my office with your team." Master hand said.
"Ok. See you there!" Link said before Master hand warped off.
"Now…which of you should I take?" Link asked himself as he stood on the stage before the smashers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Alrighty, everybody. Exciting, so far?
The library of the ancients is a place from final fantasy V, so I don't own the place. The concept of the void also belongs to FFV, but I own the Stone of Heresy, the legendary weapons I have in mind, and my plot and OCs.
The term, "Holy weapons" belongs to game2002, where he had them in his story, Darkling. Speaking of which, I still need to finish it…
Matt belongs to slam422, Xanxi belongs to Xanxi, Spam and Snurckle belong to Calderious, and that's all I can think of now. I still have one OC to add, so credit will be given when the time comes.
Well, with that said, adieu, and review!
-Shining Riku-
One minor note. In my story, when you think, "Hyrule", Think Twilight Princess Hyrule. THAT Hyrule is so much prettier, and awesome looking than the Ocarina of time one.
Anybody played TP? It's so awesome...
