Chapter 13: Followers Fight Back
Tabuu stood between Mario and the exit to Tabuu's throne room as he stood there grinning, waiting for Mario and the others to make a move.
Kirby- What is Tabuu up to?
Mario- It's obvious. He's waiting to see if we plan to fight or flee. Pyrrhon, can you fight?
Pyrrhon- Sorry Mario, but Tabuu drained me of my powers after Fawful exposed me. I'm afraid I'm completely useless until I can recover my powers.
Mario- If that's the case…Sonic, get Pyrrhon to the portal to Smash City. Kirby, Pit, and I will distract Tabuu and follow you after you've gotten Pyrrhon out of here.
Pit- What now?!
Super Sonic- Not very comfortable abandoning you three to Tabuu!
Mario- You're not. You're more than welcome to get us out after you've gotten Pyrrhon out. Sneaking passed a distracted Tabuu should be easy with your speed.
Super Sonic- Hope you're right…
Super Sonic quickly grabbed Pyrrhon by the wrist and dashed for the door. However, when Super Sonic touched the door, him and Pyrrhon were immediately electrocuted the second Super Sonic touched the doorknob. Super Sonic and Pyrrhon fell backwards and landed on the floor on their backs. Not long after, they saw Tabuu standing above them. Although he looked upside-down from their point of view.
Tabuu- Going somewhere, Sonic? You didn't think I'd let you escape with my bargaining chip to trap Kyrin that easily. Foolish little hedgehog.
Kirby- How did Tabuu…
Tabuu- I built this palace after that dick, Marco Mario, put me in here. Had to have some roof over my head for the last 1,000 years. And because this palace was created from my power, I can literally manipulate anything and everything within it. It's pretty much the same thing with Palutena and her Skypalace or my father and his Crystal Monastery.
Pit- He's right. Lady Palutena can usually manipulate anything in her Skypalace.
Tabuu- In short, you'll have to beat me if you want to even leave my throne room.
Super Sonic and Pyrrhon got back up.
Super Sonic- Shit!
Mysterious voice- Hedgehog not know half of it!
Mario- That voice…don't tell me…
Mario, Kirby, and Pit looked towards the wall where Sonic splattered Fawful to and saw that Fawful had gotten back up.
Kirby- Fawful's back?!
Another mysterious voice- Not just him!
Then they turned the other side of the room and saw Fredrick was back on his feet as well.
Lord Fredrick- Master Tabuu, I know you want to fight, but let us in on this fight! Fawful and I owe them payback for how they humiliated us earlier in the fanfiction.
Tabuu- Do as you wish. But you might want to be careful. You and Fawful could get in the line of fire from my attacks. I am much more powerful now that I'm at 90%.
Fawful- No problem, Master Tabuu! Hehehe! I have fury!
Then Tabuu's mark appeared on both Fawful and Fredrick's left palms as they activated Tabuu's power to increase their strength.
