Chapter 20: The Final Melee

{Well, it's been a fun 19 chapters, but we're coming to the end. Hope you enjoy.}

Bowser dashed toward the master hand and slashed it with his claws. The Master hand went into laser mode. The Crazy Hand twitched with anticipation to combine. Bowser did a good job dodging lasers and laying a few smashes on the Master Hand. The hands went into the center and began their sleep spell. Bowser dodged toward the outskirts of the arena avoiding the spell and the clapping afterward. Bowser kept on dealing fast damage to the Master Hand, but the Crazy Hand flew into him like a rocket, giving the Master Hand enough time to grab him and squeeze the life out of him. Bowser took some heavy damage, but the Master Hand went into the danger zone. The Master Hand rubbed his fingers, "You know what I said earlier; I wasn't going to experiment on you. We could become the greatest villain duo in the world."

Bowser jumped away from the Crazy Hand's bomb barrage, "No thanks. I work alone…except for some goombas." The Master Hand swung back for one final strike. He flung himself with full force, but Bowser dodged backward and backhanded him in the back. The Master Hand gave out one final shrill and then vanished into bright light.

The Crazy Hand twitched, "So you defeated the weakling, but you won't defeat me!"

Bowser saw him move backward slightly, "Don't be so delusional. You won't feel too much pain…until I begin your thrashing!" Bowser dodges backwards as the Crazy Hand falls short of a grab. Bowser smashes him with his head. Before he recoils to the left of the arena. Bowser uses fire breath from a distance as to avoid any close attacks. The Crazy Hand fell on the floor. Bowser laughed, "HA! You lost alrea…." The Crazy Hand went into spasms, knocking Bowser into the air. Bowser uses a Bowser Bomb and stopped the Crazy Hand's trembling. The Crazy Hand pointed at Bowser in the shape of a gun. Bowser dodge the first blast with a side dodged, a jump in the air to avoid the second, and the third nearly nicked his shell. Bowser ran up and smashed the Crazy Hand as he went into laser mode.

The Crazy Hand held his fingers into a fist, "You can't win. I brought you back to life and I will bring your demise."

Bowser ducked down, readying his shell, "That's what I said to Mario every time I battled him…" Bowser released the final blow. A flash of light covered the abyss. It blinded the area, except for a large table and the trophies that lay on it. The trophies glowed with electrical current. A large nova blast was expelled from them, discharging a large pulse of energy…

Kirby rubbed his eyes and looked around his planet. He saw Dreamland restored back to normal. He blinked his eyes a few times, "I wonder who won the battle…oh well." Kirby kicked back his feet and relaxed under the shade of a tree…

Samus reappeared on her starship. She buckled her safety belt and punched in the key code combination. The starship lit up and sprung to life.

Welcome back. Approximate away time: 2 days 3 hours 46 minutes and 10.87659 seconds.

Samus rubbed her head, "Computer, setting destination course toward Planet Opernium.

Coordinates located. Approximate arrival time 3.13 hours.

Dr. Mario began to open his eyes. He lay on a couch and Nurse Peach watched over him, "Doctor, are you all right?"

He stood up and rubbed his head, "No, I just wasted my vacation time over a silly battle. Okay, who's next?"

Ash walked using the support of a stick he found in the woods. He held his stomach with his right hand. Brock and Misty followed him. They were about to collapse.

"Ash," shouted Brock, "let's take a break; you haven't eaten in over a day."

Ash moved onward, "I'm not stopping until I find Pikachu." From the distance Ash saw a flash of light. He saw four outlines of Pokemon looking figure. One rolled off toward the left. One looked really strange; it floated upward and teleported from sight. The last one looked straight ahead and then began to run toward Ash. Ash squinted his eyes. He groaned with delight, "Pi…ka...chu…"

The Super Happy Tree let off a lot of fruit for its tired friend. Yoshi rubbed his belly as he licked up another melon. He leaned back and shut his eyes to rest from a weary battle.

Prince Marth and Roy raised their swords to the sky and knelt down on one knee. Marth's battalion bowed behind him. Marth and Roy arose. They placed their swords back in their scarabs and they shook hands. Roy went his separate way and Marth waved good-bye. Marth turned toward his troops, "We've wasted enough time. Let the assault commence!"

Candy ran up to Diddy, "Have you seen him?"

Diddy bent his head downward, "I still haven't seen him. It's not like DK to miss out on 2 days worth of meals."

Donkey Kong emerged from the brush. He spotted his friends, "Diddy, Candy!" Candy ran up to DK and gave him a hug.

Cranky smiled, "It is good to see you DK."

"Thank you for your concern, Cranky." DK was interrupted when Cranky dropped a large pile of building supplies on top of Donkey Kong.

"Now get to work on my new lab. I want it to be perfect and done in three days." A hammer dropped on DK's toe and he blew on it to relieve the pain.

Paula, Poo, and Jeff waited on Ness' couch in Onett. Ness' mom and sister walked around in circles. The family dog rested in the corner of the room. Ness walked in the door and everyone ran up to hug him. The dog raised his head and then went back to sleep.

Mr. Game and Watch looked around his world. The buildings were in shambles and there were so many disasters it would make a normal person's head spin. Mr. Game and Watch rang his bell, "It's good to be home!"

"This is Valexon of Channel 38 with breaking news. Missing racecar champion, Captain Falcon reappeared today at the Hitatco Stadium two days after his disappearance. Channel 38 was here when at the end of the Grand Prix; Captain Falcon was caught in a large vanishing hole, which is still unexplained. The judges have decided to have an award ceremony tomorrow for Falcon for his first place finish in the race."

Fox and Falco flew along side the Great Fox in an arwing, signaling Rob to open the docking bay. Fox and Falco docked their ship and leapt from the hatch. Peppy ran up to Fox, "Fox, you're okay."

Fox placed a hand on Peppy's shoulder, "No time for chit chat, we got to report back to headquarters on Corneria."

"Already did, Fox," said Slippy, "and we have our new assignment."

Fox walked toward the command deck, "Then let's not waste any time."

Link handed the Master sword to young link. He placed it in the stone pedestal and was transported back to his time. Zelda ran up to Link and embraced him. Link comforted her and they stayed in the temple for a few moments before they went their separate ways.

The Ice Climbers looked up at the huge mountain. Popo turned to Nana, "Just think Nana, we're almost one eighth of the way done climbing the Mountain."

The Mushroom Kingdom was never happier. Peach took her throne and released the Toad she held onto. Mario took off his cape and folded up neatly and placed it aside. Luigi picked up his vacuum and strapped it onto his back. Professor E. Gadd stood by Luigi, "Suka suka, you did splendid work, Luigi, but since you were away, the ghosts returned and began haunting a hidden Mansion behind yours. Speaking of creepiness, did you retrieve your souvenir?"

Luigi thought for a moment, "Well, not-a exactly. It came to life."

Mario turned toward Luigi, "I wonder where Bowser is anyway?"



In the abyss almost everything was destroyed. The two hands lay crippled on top of the Final Platform. The Master Hand twitched very slightly, "We…lost…but how? We lost everything."

The Crazy Hand began to laugh hysterically, "No we didn't."

The Master Hand raised his pointer finger, "So then tell me what we have left that hasn't been destroyed." The Crazy Hand held out his palm. He laughed hysterically and much louder. In his palm was a small trophy. The trophy resembled a very large shelled turtle.

{Well that about wraps things up. Hope you enjoyed it. I am coming out with more fics soon so keep on the lookout. Don't forget to review and thank you for reading.}
