Smash Brothers Civil War
Chapter 56: The Rulers
Nanite Meta Kamek
Collective Repeater Tower
"In another minute, it will all be so clear!", Meta Kamek stated as he was ready to kill the Smashers. Augmented by the nanite signals from across the globe, the new Nanite Meta Kamek was already on a new level of power. Meta Kamek considered himself "evolved" when he received an upgrade in a new suit. But infused with the nanites, he was virtually as strong as a base form Tabuu.
"You throwbacks are parasites...compared to us", Nanite Meta Kamek's voice echoed and sounded like two voices were inside his body. He fired a deadly energy wave of electricity.
The Smashers managed to dodge the attack in time. Meta Kamek aimed at Lucario and shot the Aura Pokémon with a bolt of lightning. Greninja tried to make a quick assassination but was met with a shock in the stomach. Pikachu used Thunderbolt with a big bang flash, but Kamek absorbed the Thunderbolt and thereby increasing his own power tenfold. Meta Kamek struck Pikachu from behind with fast-paced movement. Mewtwo charged forward and wasted no time in attacking first. The moment the Psychic Pokémon prepared for a deadly kick to the face, Meta Kamek dodged it instantly. Mewtwo fired a barrage of Dark Psychic Bombs. Meta Kamek met the barrage with a streak of lightning, stopping the Dark Psychic Bombs altogether. Meta Kamek vanished in an electrical flash and teleported in back of Mewtwo for a surprise strike until Mewtwo caught the attack and smirked.
"What?!", Meta Kamek widened his eyes.
"Daring to challenge me was your first mistake. You think you serve a noble cause, but you're just obsolete. If you continue to fight the most powerful Psychic, you'll be exterminated like the vermin you are", threatened Mewtwo menacingly. His voice sounded monotone and yet scary.
"You're mad if you think you can solo the Collective!", Meta Kamek smirked back.
"Maybe I am", Mewtwo prepared for another attack, but was electrocuted back and stunned.
"You can't stop us, Mewtwo. You were once our soldier. Come back to us and let these weaker insects die out", Nanite Meta Kamek goaded Mewtwo to return to the Collective as an agent.
"Just die already! I will never be in control again!", Mewtwo's veins appeared on his body.
"So you'd rather meet fate with your new friends than realize unlimited power. Don't forget that I was once weak...like you. I was...angry that I couldn't get stronger. But once the nanites entered my system, I gain unimaginable energy. So can you. And then, we'll save this World", Meta Kamek's words seemed to have made Mewtwo silent.
Lucario recovered and instantly transformed into Mega Lucario. He charged towards Mewtwo to aid him. Nanite Meta Kamek shined a gleaming smile. Mewtwo looked to the floor and closed his eyes. Lucario tapped the Psychic's shoulder to stop Mewtwo from making the wrong decision.
"No, don't listen to him! You're better than this!", Lucario stated.
"That's right! Better! Better than him! Better than any of them! If you obtain the new nanite power I possess, you'll be even better", Meta Kamek stated.
"It's either your allies or your freedom: you decide, Mewtwo. Not the nanites!", said Lucario with a more compelling tone. "Mewtwo, I believe-"
Lucario was suddenly impaled with a wave of powerful energy. He was thrown back so fast no saw it happen. Nanite Meta Kamek smiled. Mewtwo looked back up and smirked.
"Mewtwo, why would do that?!", shouted Palutena in shock. Lucario got back up and was met with Mewtwo staring below at him.
"Mew-two, why?", Lucario was confused.
"I told you before and I meant it. But now...I regret it. To think we could ever be allies, much less friends, makes me sick", Mewtwo refuted. The Psychic turned to Nanite Meta Kamek and welcomed him with a friendly gesture.
"At last, you've come to realize your dreams can become true. You have failed, Smashers. An agent of our own cannot be contained by...mere friendship", Meta Kamek remarked.
Mewtwo slowly walked over to Kamek. One of his hands were held behind his back; weirdly odd, he gave a nodding hand gesture to the Smashers. Everyone else was confused. Mewtwo's hand behind his back glowed a dark energy.
"Let us embrace...for a better collaboration", Mewtwo allowed Meta Kamek to be open for an attack.
"Yes, a new world of trust", Meta Kamek got closer. Then, Mewtwo's eyes flashed.
"Think again...Psychic Betrayal!", Mewtwo revealed his hand behind his back and blasted a one-handed dark energy wave. It went straight into Meta Kamek's chest and he was shot away. "You! Use your Water Cannon to hose him down!", he told Greninja.
Meta Kamek had little time to recover before he was shot at with Greninja and his Water Cannon. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt again to electrocute Kamek back; this time, it actually injured him. Lucario used Aura Bomb and sent Kamek away. In no time, Kamek finally recovered and increased his energy.
"Maybe not a fraction is enough to kill you. How about I feed you the whole pie?", Meta Kamek's power skyrocketed.
"Lucario! Let us battle...together!", Mewtwo told Lucario with a short smile. Lucario exchanged one as well.
"Alright then. And in that case, I'll push my body further too", Mega Lucario transformed into his buff state. His aura flashed streaks of red and blue-violet and electricity.
"Same here", Greninja went straight into Mega Greninja.
"I have no need to evolve further", told Mewtwo. "Let's start over, shall we?"
"LET'S!", Meta Kamek shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Don't forget about me", the green dinosaur Yoshi popped up. Kamek merely snickered at Yoshi's willingness to fight Kamek.
"Could I ever forget you, my old nemesis?", stated Yoshi.
"This will play out like last time", Yoshi retorted.
"Bet on it", Kamek made the first move, nearly destroying the Tower in the process.
Luckily, Palutena created a barrier to save everyone and Rosalina kept the Tower from sustaining critical damage. Mega Lucario and Mega Greninja fused their attacks. Lucario performed Mega Aura Storm and Greninja did Mega Water Cannon in order to create Mega Aura Water Energy Wave.
"TAKE THIS! RRAAAHHHHH!", the two Pokémon shot the fused energy blast at Kamek.
Meta Kamek pushed the attack back and then went for a frenzy of electrical bombs to destroy the Tower completely. That was when Lucas, Ness, and Claus all did PK Thunder Sigma to cancel out the frenzy altogether.
"A one-to-one tiebreaker. Not for long. Once this Tower is destroyed, all hope is lost. Without it, the Collective wins and you plummet to your deaths", Meta Kamek planned to eradicate the Tower with one more attack.
"We'll see about that!", said Yoshi as he went to go in charging first.
"Stand aside, dinosaur. I'll finish this", Mewtwo interrupted Yoshi. The green dinosaur was intimidated by Mewtwo but backed out.
Nanite Meta Kamek's body glowed vigorously as the electricity around him covered his whole body. Streaks, cracks, and streams of intense electrical energy emerged from Nanite Meta Kamek. His violent nature leaked out. Gradually, Kamek's physical form took shape. He engulfed himself in the intensity of the electricity he produced. His form became an energy ball of lightning. Kamek's voice was both echoing and booming to the point of insanity itself.
"I'MTHESUPREMEPOWEROFTHISWORLD! ME! I MEAN...US! NO! THE COLLECTIVE AND I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE YOU PARASITES! COMMENCE EXTERMINATION!", Nanite Meta Kamek used his own body as the final attack. "FEEL THE TERMINATION BY THE COLLECTIVE! LIGHTING OF ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION!"
Meta Kamek fired off a massive ball of electricity, intended to destroy anything in its range. Mewtwo created the giant Ultimate Psychic Bomb, the move he used as a last resort against Lucario. Mewtwo doubled up his power to the maximum. His veins began to pop; the muscles began to bulge; and, his aura turned dark purple. Mewtwo concentrated deeply to heighten the Psychic Bomb's power. The rest of the Smashers handed some of their energy to Mewtwo.
"I'llfinishthisrightnow! ULTIMATE...PSYCHIC BOMB!", Mewtwo shot the Ultimate Psychic Bomb. The black sun made its return at last.
Ultimate Psychic Bomb and the Lightning of Absolute Corruption collided. The force of their collision was breaking the Tower apart into pieces. Rosalina and Palutena used their goddess powers to keep the Tower from collapsing. Mewtwo and Corrupt Nanite Meta Kamek clashed head-on in their struggle.
"Why won't you die already!", Mewtwo struggled to hold back the Lightning of Absolute Corruption.
"HEHEHEHEHE! THE END IS HERE FOR THE FALLEN HEROES! DON'T YOU GET IT NOW?! DESTROYING THE CASTLE! KILLING ME?! THE CIVIL WAR! EVERYTHING WAS BECAUSE OF THE SMASHERS! NOW YOU'LL DIE KNOWING THEY HAVE CAUSED YOUR DEATH", Corrupt Nanite Meta Kamek yelled out.
"...Hmph. So what", Mewtwo smirked.
"HUH?!", Kamek did not understand.
"I don't care about the past or even the future. I leave the old me behind in the dust. Unlike you, I learn from my mistakes. And I have another move in my collection", Mewtwo stated.
"NOWAY! YOU'RE A FUNNY GUY, YOU KNOW THAT?!", Meta Kamek did not believe it.
"Lucario, hold onto the Ultimate Psychic Bomb for a moment", Mewtwo ordered. Mega Lucario went over and replaced Mewtwo.
"If you got a plan, now the time to place it in action", warned Lucario.
"Hmph...who else accounted for...the Atomic Psychic Intense Bomb", Mewtwo closed his eyes.
"It's that move you used against me when the Collective took your mind", Lucario just remembered.
"Continue to hold it back. It won't take long", Mewtwo stated when he built enough power to create Atomic Psychic Bomb. Mewtwo took a daring stance and was ready to fire. "It ends here! ATOMIC PSYCHIC INTENSE BOMB!", Mewtwo fired it off.
Mewtwo went back to take care of the rest by retaking the struggle from Lucario. Corrupt Nanite Meta Kamek held back the Psychic's two attacks that melted into one: the Ultimate Atomic Psychic Bomb of Intensity. Though Meta Kamek was struggling to push it back, the impact of the Ultimate Atomic Psychic Bomb would kill off everyone and wipe out the entire island as well.
"Lucario! You have to use your ultimate move to push my attack forward! NOW!", Mewtwo loudly demanded.
"WATCH THE POWER OF AURA! ASCENDED MEGA AURA STORM! RRAAHHHHH!", Lucario went full power to push Mewtwo's attack forward with the ultimate attack he had in store.
"MORE POWER INTO IT! NOW!", Mewtwo and Lucario yelled at the same time.
"NO! NO! NO! WE-NO, I...I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS! AAAHHHHHHH!", Corrupt Nanite Meta Kamek was engulfed in the black sun of psychic power.
The Ultimate Atomic Psychic Bomb of Intensity was pushed away into the vast outer space by the Ascended Mega Aura Storm. Meta Kamek's screams faded away after he escaped the atmosphere. The black sun exploded in a fit of rage that was seen even in the skies. The Tower survived, but it began to shake violently from the full impact of the attack. The World was at peace once again. Mewtwo and Lucario panted as they both fell to the floor in exhaustion.
"We...did it...Mewtwo", Lucario breathed.
"...Yes...Good work. You are indeed...my rival and a worthy one", Mewtwo commended.
"Eeee...YEAH!", screamed Palutena in excitement. She went in to hug Lucario. Mewtwo instantly moved away when she tried to hug him.
"It's over...Rest In Peace, Kamek. You acted as my mentor, my father figure, and a great friend. I only wish happiness is where you are now", Bowser thought in reminiscence.
"I'm getting readings over the World again. The Collective is down. Not a single trace of nanites left. They've all been shut down. We'll get with the cleanup then...", said Samus until...
The Masters
Right then, a vicious line of light shone from the center below the Tower and to the very top. The bright light covered the center of the Tower and halted in the skies. Everything became darker and voided. The bright day turned to an outer space night. Out from the shadows came forth...
"HUWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"AHEHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"No", said Mario.
"Freaking", said Samus.
"Way!", Mario and Samus shouted simultaneously.
"The Masters have returned to the World, but how?", said Bowser. "They should be exiled. Unless their plans were to release them all along."
"It makes sense now. The nanites were sent in as a gateway for them to conquer the World without ever trying to kill us directly", explained Samus.
"Master Hand! Crazy Hand! This War is over! This World is no longer under your control! Is this why you intend to face us this way?", Bowser asked.
"Answer us!", Mario told them.
The floating white-gloved Hands stayed there motionless, moving their fingers around and laughing some more. It was clear to the Smashers they were more than grateful to finally be let out of their prison of exile. Finally, after years of being thrown into another dimension, Master and Crazy rejoiced their return to the World of Smash. Finally, the Hands spoke in divine and yet dormant voices.
"Smashers...your numbers have increased considerably and the abundant amount of powerful warriors you've accumulated, including some of our former loyalists...will not suffice...to our supremacy", Master Hand spoke like a calm, well-groomed individual.
"My right-handed brother is right on that logic. And here's a fact: all of you are going to die...a gruesome death once I'm done! I'll tear your limbs off and have them rearranged! OH...what fun we'll have", Crazy Hand spoke talked like a deranged maniac.
"Our decisive day has arrived, brother. It was through our stratagem that we weaved and pulled the strings over the course of your futile conflicts and expedites. We sought out a scientist who could jumpstart our next creation: the nanites. After you demolished the Kingdom of Bowser, we salvaged what was left of the Magikoopa Kamek and transformed him into a cybernetic machine mutant in hopes of developing an army of them", said Master Hand.
"Originally, we planned to take in Bowser, but alas, he escaped before we could get to him. Shame really. He betrayed us when he left our outer circle of 'supremacy'. Nice to see he's still breathing", said Crazy Hand.
"We scoured more supervillains, such as the space dragon Ridley, the childlike swine demon Porky Minch, the infamous Dark Samus, the masked fighter known as Masked Man, the galactic entity Giygas, and more. We also searched for places of interest across the World to set up bases in secret to build a nanite army. Potentially, we would have failed until several factors played in our favor...", explained Master.
"What my brother is talking about is YOU! Your Civil War! Dark Samus and Kamek were perfect soldiers to wreak worldwide havoc, so that way you can fight each other. Also, it's worth good to mention those outer dimension beings from Subspace. They gave us enough time to launch a 'hostile takeover' of the World once again through our repeater towers. We knew you'd stop their invasion, but...we didn't count you'd stop us in time", told Crazy.
"Yes. It is true. You are formidable but you have wrought chaos and stole our World from us!", Master Hand's voice sounded angry.
"Enough with the talk, brother. I just want to get to the part where we slaughter 'em", Crazy Hand expressed impatience and excitement.
"Honestly, act more courteous, brother", Master told his left-hand brother.
"This is why I'm not like you. You enjoy order. I prefer the senseless killing of our enemies", Crazy stayed with his right-hand brother.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand circled the Smashers and laughed as they did.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!", Master Hand and Crazy Hand were more than certain to make the first move.
Final Boss Battle Master Hand and Crazy Hand
