Chapter 43: Villager (Young Mayor)
Smashville
The sky was clear blue and sunny. Not a single cloud had appeared on this beautiful spring day. All of the animals in the village were living in peace... for most of the time. Some days, they had to keep a certain foe away from certain buildings. That foe was none other than, False Villager. He has been firing his Slingshot, Axes, and Lloid Rockets at these buildings for quite sometime. Sometimes he would laugh like a child and clap at the destruction; like a juvenile delinquent. All of the animals in the village have been angry at False Villager for all the childish chaos and tried to take him down themselves, but once they got close to him... that's when he gets extremely dangerous. They were very lucky to run away from him and dodge his Lloids and swinging Axe. After those encounters, they have been hiding in the village and blocked off access to where he was hiding.
After months of hiding and rebuilding, the animals saw something hopeful shine in the sky. Two slashes of light appeared in the sky and then began to form a circle with the giant slashes; becoming the Smash symbol. After the symbol was formed, they saw five Ships fly out of the slashes of the symbol for the first time. The animals began to smile in awe of the Ships; now knowing that there are people coming to help them. The Ships had landed gently on a big flat hill a few feet away from the village, and then me and the team arrived; seeing the animals looking at us. "So this is the famous Smashville eh? How did they let an eight-year-old run this place anyway?" said Wolf. "I don't know... I guess eight-years-old is mature enough to be mayor of animal cities and villages." ZSS replied. "Huh... maybe... but still, it feels pretty weird to leave a child in charge of a village." he replied. "Agreed." she replied. Most of us heard their little conversation, and we agree on everything that they have said. Hell, if I was in charge of a town at eight-years-old... it would be a chaotic mess.
We made it to the central part of the village and met Tom Nook for the first time. He told us how the village had become a chaotic place and about False Villager. As we kept on listening; Kirby heard a sound of laughter in the woods. He turned around and saw a pile of food in front of a bush; making him very happy and hungry at the same time. He snook away from us a second later. Young Link, Toon Link, Ness, Lucas, and the Ice Climbers turned around and saw Kirby being led into the woods. "No! Kirby!" Lucas whispered. "Come on! Let's go get him!" Ness whispered. "Right!" Young Link whispered. They went after him a few seconds later as the rest of us began looking at the damages. I turned around and saw all the kid Fighters were gone and silently freaked out for a moment. "Shit... where did they go!?" I said in my thoughts. I looked around and saw them running after someone in the woods. Once I saw them run deeper into the woods; I knew that this was a trap. I ran after them immediately; hoping to catch them and the foe on time.
The Woods
"Kirby!" yelled Ness. Kirby was still distracted by the food as he was running after it. "He's not listening!" Ness told the group. "He isn't!? This isn't good..." Lucas replied. "We've gotta do something about that Food first if we want him to listen!" Nana replied. "She's right! We have to get rid of the Food!" Popo replied. The group smirked and nodded their heads to each other; going with their plan. Ness and Lucas used their PSI attacks to stop the Food from moving. Toon Link used his sword to cut the rope pulling the Food, and then the Ice Climbers used their Ice Powers to freeze the Food. "Now!" they said. Ness and Lucas used PK Fire and then Young Link and Toon Link used their Bombs to destroy the Food. Kirby saw what happened to the Food, and he got very upset. He sat on the grass and began to cry. The group then ran over to him and comforted him. "Kirby... we're so sorry." said Lucas. "We don't how to tell you this... but... the Food was just bait." Toon Link replied.
"Poyo!?" Kirby said in shock. "Yeah... the Food was just bait by someone trying to lead you here. So, we ran after you to make you see that you were being tricked. We had to destroy the Food to make you come back to your senses. We're sorry. Can you ever forgive us?" Ness replied. Kirby blinked his eyes, wiped off his tears, and then lightly smiled at his friends; making them do the same. "Aw man... I guess the fun is over then..." said a voice. The group got into their battle stances and then saw a pair of yellow eyes glowing. "It's him..." said Popo. "Stay on guard, guys. You all heard what Tom Nook said about him." Young Link replied. "So, you all know who I am? Should've known that Tom Nook would spill the tea on me to you and your team after all. I should've gotten rid of him a long time ago..." said False Villager as he walked upto them. "Spill the tea?" Toon Link replied curiously. "Spreading gossip/rumors. The girls say that phrase at the Mansion all the time." Young Link replied. "Even Spirit says that?" Toon Link replied. Ness and Lucas covered his mouth in shock; praying that False Villager doesn't know about me.
"Spirit..? So she's alive after all. Tch... that stupid Tabuu didn't finish the job at the Mansion. Man, Dharkon is going to have a field day with him about this." said False Villager. "Yeah right... you, Tabuu, and Dharkon will never get your hands on her!" Ness replied. "Yeah!" Toon Link replied. False Villager began laughing at their comments; making the group slightly angry and curious. "What's so funny?" Lucas asked him. "Oh, no need to worry about her... she's not my concern. My concern is about... all... of... you..." False Villager replied as his yellow eyes began to glow crimson red. The group looked at him in shock as he took out his axe and slammed it to the ground; making a Shadow force field around him and them. He smiled wickedly at them and began swinging his Axe at them; watching them try to fight him and break the shield. Once he got them all cornered, he summoned an array of Lloid Rockets and fired them at the group.
The kids huddled around each other and covered their eyes in fear, then all of a sudden, a flash of light destroyed the Rockets and destroyed the shield. False Villager looked at the kids in shock; wondering how did this happen. The kids opened their eyes and saw what had happened for the first time. "We're... we're okay..." said Nana. "But how..? Who just saved us?" Popo asked. Before anyone said anything, a pillar of light came out of the ground and sent False Villager flying to the sky for a minute and then back down to the ground. He stood up slowly and saw the pillar of light disappear; revealing the person within it. "Spirit!" the kids cheered happily. False Villager looked at me in shock and surprise; wondering how I got here so fast.
"You! How did you get here!?" he yelled. "Ran here as quick as a ninja once I saw them leave. I was the only adult who noticed all of this happening. Now give up, False Villager. Your childish games have come to an end." I replied as the crystals of my armor glew. False Villager was stunned by my response and then began throwing a temper tantrum. He kept swinging his Axe, fired a few Lloid Rockets, and fired his Slingshot at me. I dodged every attack he had made and watched him tire himself out. "Wow! She's dodging as fast as Sonic!" said Lucas. "I guess her powers might even make her faster than him too! Just imagine, Spirit becoming the Fastest Thing Alive... that would be so cool!" Toon Link replied. They thought about it for a moment and nodded their heads in agreement to it.
"Heh, I guess the kids also cut your power down pretty good too; judging by the sword, arrow, and elemental damage on you." I said. The kids and False Villager looked at the damage in shock, and then the kids smirked at our foe. They ran upto me and got into their battle positions. "You guys ready?" I asked them. "Oh yeah!" Toon Link replied. "Let's take him down once and for all!" Nana replied. "Poyo!" Kirby replied. Ness, Lucas, Popo, and Young Link nodded their heads in agreement to my question. I smirked proudly and used my powers to give their strengths a boost. "It's Final Smash time!" I said. Young Link and Toon Link charged at the foe first and then used Triforce Slash together; doubling its strength. Kirby then jumped in with his Ultra Sword to send him flying to the sky. Nana and Popo used Iceburg and froze False Villager as he touched it. Ness and Lucas then used PK Starstorm on him; thawing him from the ice and injuring him. I then used my psychic powers to send him flying in the sky. I flew up after him and surrounded myself in a Light Ball; hitting him and sending off and explosion of Light, destroying him for good.
The kids cheered as we won the battle and I flew down to them; happy to see them safe. "Great job, guys." I said. "Thank you, Spirit." they replied. "Poyo!" Kirby added. I smiled warmly at them and then we heard some voices calling out our names. "Huh? What was that?" said Toon Link. "It's the others. They're looking for us." I replied. "Come on, guys. Let's head back before we all get in serious trouble." said Ness. "Right." the kids replied. The kids began walking back down to the village for a few seconds, and then began racing against each other. I began walking after them a few minutes later.
Smashville
"There they are!" said Bowser. Everyone turned around and saw us walk upto them; seeing the tired looks on the kids faces. "You all ran down the woods?" Ganondorf asked them. "We did. Spirit didn't." Lucas replied as he tried to catch his breath. "Alright you kids, let's get you some water. It'll help you cool down for a bit." Ganondorf replied. "And if you drink your water, Spirit and her group will give you some freeze pops." Bowser added. "Freeze pops!" the kids replied happily. They went back to the Ships a few seconds later. "Freeze pops? Seriously?" Chrom asked. "Yep. Kids love 'em." Bowser replied. "Hey! Don't forget about me, you guys!" said a voice. The kids stopped and turned around; wondering who was calling them. "Wait a second... I know that voice... that's gotta be him!" said Ness. They looked through the crowd and saw the person break through; recognizing his face. "Villager!" the kids cheered happily.
Villager ran upto them and reunited with them. They were all smiling and laughing happily together, and then talked as they walked to the Ships. My group and I smiled warmly at them as they left. "That's cute. All the kid Fighters are now reunited." said Lucina. "It is." Zelda replied. Most of us nodded our heads in agreement. We began walking back to the Ships too a few moments later. As we walked, I felt something poke my cheek for a second. I turned to my left and then saw Roy looking at me; while holding something in his hand. "You know that I had to get a blue freeze pop just for you. Once they mentioned it while you guys were gone... I snook into the Ship and grabbed one for you." he said. I blinked my eyes as I blushed a little bit, lightly smiled, and gently took the freeze pop from his hand. "Thank you, sweetheart." I said. "You're welcome, love." he replied. I opened the freeze pop and began eating it.
Inside the Great Fox
"Spirit! The Slate's beeping!" said Marth. Roy, Link, and I walked over to it, and the four of looked at the new Trophy location; now knowing who is there. "Mega Man? And he's in Wily's Castle from his 3rd attempt of taking over the world?" said Link. "Yep." I replied. "Man... how are we going to get through those Robot Masters if they're there?" he replied. "There's like what..? 11 sets of Robot Masters right?" I replied. "Correct." Marth replied. "But wouldn't the ones built by Dr. Light join our side?" Roy replied. "They should." Link replied. "We won't know until we get there. Let's stop at Light Labs first and see if anything else about that place is available." I replied. "Right." they replied. After that, all five Ships had set off to Light Labs; ready to save the Super Fighting Robot himself.
Thank you so much for reading Chapter 43 of the story! It's time! Season 4 has officially begun! This is the chance for your favorite characters from Smash 4 to shine! I can't wait to see how this season will unfold!
Anyways, what did you guys think of the Chapter? I wanted to make this one also shine on the kid Fighters a little bit. I think now they learnt their lesson on going off on their own without an adult. Thanks to Spirit's protective instincts, she made sure that they were safe in their battle. I guess you can say that she had a motherly instinct when she protected them. The others could've helped out too, but Tom Nook was distracting them for the time. Anyways, thank you so much for reading and have an awesome day!
