One quick note: If you want MST any of my works, go ahead, I would enjoy what one might write about.
Coastal City: The citizens of Coastal City went about their usual schedules as they enjoyed the wonderful sunny day when suddenly air raid sirens went off all over the city. As the citizens looked around confused, they heard the ear rattling call of Mantia. All of a sudden, havoc wreaked loose as everyone ran for his or her life from the approaching bio-weapon. Nearby, on a military base, all of the fighters were launched to destroy this oncoming threat.
"This is fighter squadron L-12 on approach to the creature," said the squad leader.
"It's huge!" yelled another member as Mantia started to fill up their cockpit windows.
"I know, but we have to destroy it before it reaches Coastal City," said the leader. Ahead of them Mantia roared in defiance at the oncoming threat.
"Open fire!" yelled the leader. All of the fighters opened fire on the creature with everything they had. Lasers and bombs all flew out at Mantia as it was soon enveloped in smoke.
"Adios buddy," said one of the members. Suddenly the smoke was washed aside as Mantia came hurtling right at them.
"Evasive maneuvers!" yelled the leader.
"Too late," said one of the pilots. Mantia burst through the squadron and destroyed several of the ships. The rest of the fighters were too badly damaged to continue the pursuit.
"Leader to base, we've failed. The creature is unstoppable and is heading straight for the city," said the leader as he attempted to guide his crippled fighter back to base. Mantia meanwhile had approached the city limits and rammed into one of the buildings causing it to collapse. Mantia rose up, shaked its head of the cobwebs and proceeded to crawl along the main roadways while destroying buildings on both sides and smashing stalled vehicles on the roadway. In its wake Mantia left hundreds of creatures dead or dying. As Mantia made a turn, it advanced toward the heavy traffic of vehicles attempting to leave the city on an elevated highway. As Mantia headed towards the highway, a wave of tanks blocked its attempts to approach. They then opened fire on Mantia as it roared in anguish. Then Mantia leapt into the sky, flew above the tanks, and dropped destroying all of them. Then Mantia proceeded towards the highway as people everywhere screamed in panic as they attempted to flee from its wrath. As Mantia prepared to destroy the highway several twin lasers hit it square in the head. Mantia then roared at the unknown attacker. Instantly, three Arwings flew overhead and zoomed to a halt behind Mantia.
"Whatever it is, it should ignore the highway now," said Pigma. And Pigma was right, Mantia did ignore the highway but when it turned around, its tail whipped around and destroyed a portion of the bridge. The rest of the highway couldn't cope with the loss of that section and the whole elevated highway started falling like a stack of dominoes.
"Those people," said James. Mantia appeared to be laughing as it took to the sky and flew off.
"Pursuit course," said James. Mantia zoomed out of the city with the Arwings in hot pursuit.
"James, it's increasing speed," said Peppy. Ahead of them Mantia was pulling away from them.
"Let's match its speed," said James. The Arwings continued pursuing. Mantia then started pulling away even more.
"Peppy," said James.
"I know, I know. It is extremely fast for a living creature. We'll have to drain power from the lasers just to keep up," said Peppy. The Arwing kept building momentum as they rocketed after Mantia. Then, as they were side to side with the creature, Mantia took off in a burst of speed and rocketed away leaving the Arwings in the dust.
"We can't keep up with it. Our best chance to follow it is with the Great Fox," said Peppy.
"Where is its next destination?" asked James. Pigma accessed a map on his Arwing.
"It's a coastal village called Shantytown," said Pigma. James looked in desperation at the fleeing Mantia.
"All right. Let's get back to Corneria City and the Great Fox," said James. The three Arwings then headed in the opposite direction of Mantia and zoomed off.
Shantytown: As the fishing fleet was about to cast off, the city's only warning bell started ringing as someone from the town's only watch tower hit it repeatedly. The fishermen and the townspeople all headed towards the center of town.
"What's going on!? We have to go fish!" yelled one of the fishermen while several others yelled in agreement.
"Look, a massive creature is approaching our town and we must leave before it kills us all," said the mayor.
"Our ancestors built this town and we're not leaving it because of some 'creature'," said one of the city's elders as the townspeople nodded in agreement. Suddenly a massive shadow loomed over the city as Mantia rocketed overhead. Then, all over the town, several buildings were destroyed and people were flung all over the place.
"Then again, who listens to their elders anymore," admitted the elder who ambled off on his way back home.
Mantia flew past the town as it headed towards more small villages and destroyed them from the sonic shockwaves in its wake as it traveled well beyond Mach speed. Then, it reached another major city and proceeded to systematically destroy it. First it took out the tallest buildings and then it proceeded to destroy all escape routes from the city and then proceeded to obliterate most of the population. As it made one last trip through the newly demolished city, it noticed a T.V. still working, on it was a commercial about Corneria City.
"Corneria City, a city of peace and prosperity. Our capital city is one of the best places to visit nowadays. Spend your vacation days here!" said the T.V. as it showed an image of Corneria City. Manta roared at the image at the T.V. and spun around. It noticed a traffic sign that was heavily bent over. The sign read: Corneria City 570 miles. Mantia then took to the sky and zoomed above the highway headed towards Corneria City.
Cornerian Army HQ: Pepper and the Star Fox team were in the battle room formulating plans to stop Mantia.
"Where's the target now?" asked Pepper. One of the technicians suddenly turned around on his chair.
"Sir the targets headed right at us! It's headed towards Corneria City!" exclaimed the technician.
"Oh great," sighed Pepper.
"I say we interrogate Andross," suggested Peppy.
"We can't, it's unethical," said James.
"Well, let's go ask him some questions," said Pigma. The Star Fox team filed out while Pepper started making plans for evacuation and defending of Corneria City.
Army maximum-security prison: Andross was laying down on his cot when the Star Fox team burst in.
"All right, let us know how to stop your bio-weapon," demanded James. Andross looked up at the team.
"Can't be done," said Andross.
"Why not," demanded Peppy.
"I designed it to obey no one, not even me. The creature it too tough to listen or obey anyone but itself," admitted Andross. James slammed his hand on the bars and then burst out followed by the team.
"Give up. It's no use! You can't defeat Mantia!" yelled Andross after them.
Corneria City: Once again, air raid sirens turned on as Mantia was sighted only a few miles away. Dozens of fighters emerged from the army base and rose to challenge the creature. However, once again their useless attacks failed as once again Mantia burst through the squadrons and towards the city. It then crashed down in the center of town and started once again to destroy the center of the city. Then, as it progressed outwards, it met the Cornerian Army HQ building. Then all of a sudden, dozens of laser enforcements emerged from the base, which opened fire on Mantia. Mantia howled in pain but still continued advancing towards the base. A hanger door opened on the front of the building and a row of tanks came out and also started firing on Mantia as well but still the creature advanced.
"Is it unstoppable?" said Pepper amazed at the creature's resilience. Above the base, the Star Fox team in their Arwings shot out of the base and also began firing on the Mantia.
"Hard to believe this thing was created by one scientist," said Peppy.
"Yeah," said James. Mantia advanced towards the tanks and proceeded to start chew on them and only pausing to spit out the remains.
"We've got to get out of here and possibly bury it," said James. Suddenly their comm. system started beeping.
"What is it?" asked James.
"Do you request supplies?" asked RobSNES(who would later be upgraded to Rob64) on board the Great Fox.
"That's it!" exclaimed Peppy.
"What's it?" asked Pigma.
"The Great Fox is the key," said Peppy.
"How?" said James.
"The ship is rigged also for atmospheric assault," said Peppy.
"So it is," said James with realization.
"And the ship is equipped with two state of the art T&B-H9 hyper laser cannons," said Peppy.
"So the cannons could fire on the creature," began Pigma.
"And possibly kill it," finished James.
"Rob, get the Great Fox down here now," said James. Above Corneria, Rob piloted the ship through the atmosphere on its way to Corneria City.
Meanwhile on the surface, Mantia had latched onto the Army HQ and started to chew through the building while the army still fought back against the creature.
"Rob, if you don't get here soon, the base is history," said James.
"The Great Fox is here," said Rob. As the Great Fox flew overhead, it attracted the attention of Mantia who forgot about the building and flew upwards towards the Great Fox, not sure what to make of it.
"Rob, fire!" yelled James. The cannons on the front of the dreadnought instantly fired on Mantia who howled in pain. Instantly a large chunk of Mantia's body was blown away in the blast as Mantia slammed into the ground.
"That's it, it's dead," said Peppy. But then, all of the sudden Mantia burst into the sky like the Phoenix and flew out of the city.
"Let's pursue it in the Great Fox," said James. The three Arwings returned to the Great Fox as it powered up and pursued the fleeing Mantia.
"It's not moving as fast as before," said Peppy on the Great Fox's bridge.
"So it is," said James. Mantia who was ahead of them was limping along the sky as it headed towards a large canyon rock quarry. Then it dropped from the sky and slammed into the large canyon crevice. Pigma swung the targeting sight to directly on top of Mantia and was ready to pull the trigger.
"Permission to fire," said Pigma.
"Negative," said James.
"Why not?" asked Peppy.
"It doesn't deserve to die this way," said James. He took the targeting sight and aimed it at the top of the canyon. He pressed the button and the lasers fired on the top causing a landslide, which then buried Mantia.
"And that's the end of that," said James.
Corneria: "Andross for unleashing this bio-weapon, 'Mantia' as I believe you call it, you are hereby sentenced to live the rest of your life in exile on the barren deserted world: Venom, where there will be no way that you can continue your experiments. Now then, do you have any last words, maybe an obituary for your monster creation?" asked Pepper.
"Mantia isn't dead. It can't die, it never will. Long after I'm gone, it will come back and then there will be no way you can stop it. Mantia will one day reign supreme over your puny society assuming that I haven't beaten it to the punch. You can't stop him! No one can! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed Andross maniacally.
"Get him out of here," said Pepper. As Andross was escorted out, he passed the Star Fox team and glared at them.
"Mark my words Star Fox team, Mantia will be back, of that I can assure you," he said finally before he was escorted out of the doors.
Mantia will return in the second part of the Mantia Trilogy: Coming Soon to fanfiction.net from Anguirus111
