Climactic Clash: Part 2

Author's Notes:

Whoa! There's one or two chapters to go! That's it! (Sheesh, it took me long enough!!!)
---
Planet Fibal Place
---
"Link, wake up," A familiar voice called.
Link emitted a slight groan of pain as he opened his eyes halfway. He looked to his left and right, but saw nothing but grass. When he looked forward, however, he saw a huge, cube-shaped building without a roof. Above the roofless building was a charred platform. The platform was large, but smaller in length and width then the roofless building.
Link let out a loud groan of pain as he forced himself to a sitting position.
"What do you think that is?" asked a voice behind him.
Link turned around to see a bruised and bleeding Bowser. As if reading Link's face, Bowser responded. "No I'm not in as bad condition as I probably look, but you look like you were ran over by a freight train doin' hundred,"
Link lightly touched his face, and quickly put his hand down. Link was shocked to see that they were covered in red blood.
"Why so shocked Link?" Bowser asked. "Ya know ya can't fall twenty feet on this planet without getting at least one bruise,"
Link's memory returned to him. Just before the explosion erupted, he had grabbed Bowser's hand and yelled 'Farore's Wind'. He yelled it out of reflex in the most extreme situations, he didn't even think about it most of the time.
After he had yelled, he remembered seeing another flash of green light, and Bowser to his side as he fell, then nothing except darkness.
"Um... Bowser, that isn't the holding cell, is it?" asked Link.
"Yeah, and that's the remains of Final Destination over it," Bowser replied.
"And you'll look just like that when we're done with you!" A booming voice from both of them.
"Giga," Link gasped.
"Yes, but this time, Crazy and Master Hand won't be fooling around. Hands Attack!" Giga Commanded, placing an arm forward.
Crazy Hand took Bowser and Master Hand took Link.
Crazy Hand "fired" himself to a confused Bowser and hit. Bowser got to his feet, seemingly uneffected by the blow. Bowser jumped up and created a diagonal slash across Crazy's palm. The left hand floated downward in pain, unsuccessfully trying to clutch his hurting palm with his fingers.
Bowser took this chance to swing his spiked and clubbed tail into Crazy's already hurting fingers. Bowser then turned his back to Crazy and walked backwards into him, sending all of Bowser's 120 spikes into the left hand's palm.
"Oh..." Groaned Crazy.
Bowser's prediction had been correct; Crazy was beginning to turn red from blood.
"Ya had enough?" Bowser taunted.
"No... Never," Crazy weakly responded.
"Crazy you idiot! Get up and fight!" Giga Bowser screamed.
Slowly, Crazy began to rise.
"Oh no you don't!" Yelled Bowser. "Oh, and Giga, you're gonna be sorry you ever taught me to fight,"
"Really?" Replied Giga Bowser in an 'I'm-so-scared-NOT!!!' tone.
"Yes really,"
Bowser jumped up, performed a flip, and landed atop Crazy in a sitting position; this sent Crazy Hand soaring to the ground.
"Gih... Guh... I... Hahve... fah-eld..." Crazy choked out before falling unconscious.
"Argh! Crazy!" Giga yelled.
"Oh do I love the Bowser Bomb! Thank You Giga!" Bowser taunted in an innocent voice.
Meanwhile, neither Link nor the Master Hand had been able to strike a hit on each other.
Master Hand fired a laser blast that hit Link squarely in his right leg. Link yelled in pain and fell to his knees.
"Link!" Bowser called.
"Yeh!" Link responded.
"Are you okay?"
Link successfully grabbed his sword and stood up.
"I think I'm getting used to this!" Link joked.
"Now that's sad," Bowser replied.
"Yeah really,"
"Master Hand! Called Link. "Are you ready to rumble?"
"Yes, and this time I WILL beat you!" Yelled Master Hand in reply.
Link fired his longshot into Master Hand's palm, while Bowser jumped into the air, flipped, and slammed down onto the top of the right hand.
"Argh!" Master Hand yelled as he was forced to the ground by Bowser's quarter-ton body.
"Link! Attack Master Hand when I pin him!" Bowser said.
"Okay," Link responded. "Master Hand, is this gonna be a night to remember for you!"
"Kiss my pinky Link!!!" Master Hand retaliated.
Ignoring the Master Hand's words, Link knelt beside Master Hand and drove his sword through one of the hand's knuckles. Master Hand recoiled and yelled in pain.
Link pulled his bloody sword out of the Master Hand and drove it through another one of Master Hand's knuckles. The hand once more yelled in pain.
Link laughed and taunted. "Master Hand, you are SUCH a PUSHOVER!"
"A pushover? How dare you speak like that to the Master Hand!" Master Hand yelled, angered. He threw Bowser off of him and tackled Link.
The Hyrulian unsuccessfully struggled against the hand pinning him to the floor.
"Bowser!" Link choked out. "Get this lunatic off me!"
"Hang on Link! I'm coming!" Bowser yelled as he carefully walked toward the Master Hand. The Hand didn't seem to notice.
With every passing second, the Master Hand began applying more and more pressure on Link. He was beginning to crush Link.
Bowser crept up behind the Master Hand and without warning began to lay down on the hand; this caused the needle-sharp spikes to dig into the back of Master's Hand. Master Hand recoiled in pain, releasing Link.
The Hyrulian warrior rolled out of the Master Hand's way clutching his stomach and grimacing in pain.
"Link, are you still okay?" questioned Bowser. Link only nodded in response.
Link pulled himself to his feet and said. "Master Hand, it' about time daylight ends for you!"
Master Hand emitted a cold, maniacal laugh that sent chills down Link's spine.
"I don't think so Link," replied the Master Hand.
Once more ignoring the hand's words, Link created a deep, horizontal slash at the bottom of Master's Hand. As Master Hand fell to the ground, Link created another horizontal slash across the top of Master's hand.
The right hand slowly rose upward, and then abruptly turned around to attack Link.
The Hyrulian Warrior dodged and jumped six feet into the air; Link normally could not jump this high. Link spread his legs, pointed his sword downward in-between them, and then yelled, "Yahoo!!!" Before falling onto the Master Hand; this action sent the hand crashing to the ground.
Link got off of the hand's lifeless body and triumphantly raised his right hand to the air.
"Don't party just yet! The REAL battle has yet to begin!" Giga Bowser yelled, raising his claws and taking a step forward.
"Well ya know, the bigger ya are, the harder ya fall," Link shouted.
"Yeah, and the tougher it is to get up!" Added Bowser.
"Bah! With my strength I won't need to get up," Giga Bowser replied.
Bowser suddenly remembered something and announced, "Giga, I'm taking a time out,"
"Wha?" Asked a very confused Link.
"Link," Bowser whispered. "I remembered that Giga is soooo much weaker then the hands if you know his one, main weakness: His head. He once knelt down to pick an apple off of the ground and very slightly bumped his head on a tree. He was almost crying in pain and looked as if he were about to pass out at anytime,"
"Whoa... Now that's weak! How would we bang his head though?"
"Well, you'd have to use your little hook and chainy thing to hook onto his eye and pull yourself to the top of his head. Then we beat on his head to get him to move towards the holding cell without knowing it,"
"Then have him crash into it?"
Bowser only nodded.
"What about Zelda and everyone else in there?" Link asked.
"I don't know Link... I don't know..."

The Master Hand's Holding Cell
---
"Argh!" Yelled Mewtwo, slapping a paw to his forehead.
"What?" Asked Roy.
"We could have been out of here ages ago if I had only remembered my teleportation move!!!"
"You have to be kidding me. We had to suffer because YOU forgot you knew a move? Pathetic,"
"Hey everyone! Grab hands with someone so we can get out of here!"
Everyone joined hands and Mewtwo yelled "Teleport!" then, everything darkened.
---
Planet Fibal Place
---
"Bowser, take my hand," Link instructed.
"Why?" Bowser asked.
"Because it's skull bashin' time!"
Bowser grabbed Link's arm and watched as the Hyrulian warrior aimed his longshot thirty feet in the air toward Giga Bowser's eye. Link fired his longshot and yelled "woohoo!" as the hook pierced Giga Bowser's eye and pulled the two fighters up. Link and Bowser pulled themselves to the top of Giga's head. Once on top, Link yanked out his longshot, causing Giga Bowser to stagger backward in pain.
Link was unprepared however, and fell off of the monsterous koopa's head. Giga pulled a hand out and caught Link.
"Oh, and before you say 'thank you' let me tell you that you'll wish I hadn't saved you from falling because what I'm about to do is much more painful," Giga said, an evil smirk visible on his face.
The holding cell, though inpenetrable from the inside, was extremely weak to attacks from the outside. Giga Bowser knelt down and tossed Link at the holding cell. Instead of falling down after impact, Link went straight through, creating a very large hole in the wall.
Bowser jumped with all of his strength and slammed down onto his Giga Bowser's head.
"Forgive me Link," thought Bowser as his malicious uncle staggered toward the holding cell...

Somewhere else on Planet Fibal Place
---
"Mewtwo! Wake up!" A voice called as the pokémon opened his eyes. In front of him was Roy. "
"Mewtwo! Your plan worked!" Roy exclaimed.
Mewtwo sat up and looked around. The late night sky was starry and the moon brightly shone over the grassy plains he was sitting on. The rest of the fighters could be seen playing a friendly game of tag about fifty feet away.
Not even Mewtwo, though, was aware of the danger not far away...
---
With that darn Giga Bowser
---
Giga was still staggering back and was only fifty feet away from the cell's forcefield. Holding onto one of Giga's horns, Bowser prepared himself for the impact...
Forty feet...
Thirty...
Twenty...
Ten...
Five...
Darkness...
---
Back with the other Smash Brothers
---
An ear-splitting "bang" was heard, followed by a massive earthquake that sent all fourteen fighters crashing to the ground.
"What the heck was that?" Asked Falco after the initial shock had passed.
"I have no idea..." Fox replied.
---
By the holding cell
---
"Ugh," Bowser groaned as he forced his eyes open.
He remembered that when Giga Bowser hit the forcefield, he began to rapidly convulse.
He then blacked out as the shock began to pass through his body. Bowser figured he was laying on the ground because he fell off of his uncle when he blacked out.
"What a minute! Where is Giga Bowser?" Bowser asked himself.
Bowser turned around and was shocked to see the limp form of his uncle.
"Like... Whoa..." Bowser gasped.
Bowser looked at the holding cell and could see where parts had broken off; it was only a matter of time before the building completely collapsed.
"Link's in there!" Bowser softly said as he remembered that the elvin warrior was still inside. Bowser stood up and ran as fast as he could toward the holding cell.
---
Where Bowser had just been
---
[10 minutes later]
"Oh my God! Talk about sleeping ugly!" Falco exclaimed as he walked past the lifeless Giga Bowser.
"Ha! The holding cell is right where I told you!" Exclaimed Mewtwo. "Oh wait! I didn't tell you!"
"What a weirdo," thought Luigi as he looked at the holding cell that was several hundred feet away. A visible hole could be seen, it was a perfect entrance.
---
Inside the holding cell
---
The holding cell was much darker then before and carried an ominous feeling about it. Though dark, Bowser could see very well. He spotted Link's limp body and ran over to it. Bowser gasped in horror as he stood over the unconscious Link. Link was laying on his stomach on the cold cell floor. His tunic was stained red with blood. Bowser turned Link face up and was shocked to see his even bloodier face.
"Link! C'mon, wake up!" Bowser pleaded.
"Bowser?" Link hoarsely asked.
"Yes, it's me. How bad is the pain?"
"Horrible. I... I... don't think I can stand. I don't think I can sit up either,"
"Oh boy... Good thing I'm strong!"
Bowser picked up Link and cradled the injured Hyrulian in his arms as one would a baby.
"Link, we have to hurry because this place is gonna fall anytime," Bowser yelled.
Link could only groan in pain; he didn't have the strength to yell or he dearly would have. Bowser rushed through the cell, avoiding the falling rocks. He spotted the hole he had entered through and dived out. Bowser watched in horror as the holding cell collapsed and Final Destination fell over it. Bowser shielded the injured Link with his body as the final rocks fell and the holding cell was no more.
Bowser had taken a different route to the holding cell then Mewtwo, so the two groups passed each other without knowing it. Bowser walked with Link in his arms, he was only ten feet from Giga Bowser.
"Link, if you're awake, do you feel strange?" Bowser asked.
"What type of strange?" asked Link.
"I... I can't describe it because I've never felt anything like it,"
"Yeah, I feel strange too, and I can't describe it either. I thought you might have known what this is,"
"But I can tell you what it is," came a hoarse voice.
"Giga!" Bowser yelled. "What is this?"
"When we healed you and everyone in the cell was out cold, I gave orders to the hands to poison you incase we failed," Giga Bowser explained.
"How did you poison us?" Bowser asked, confused.
"How do you think?"
"I don't know,"
"Remember Crazy and Master Hand's gas?"
"That stuff was poisonous?"
"Exactly. Now I must have the pleasure of saying 'good night'. You may have defeated us, but we got even anyhow," Giga Bowser finished, passing out soon after.
The barely conscious Link and his partner Bowser walked one hundred feet past Giga Bowser's limp body. Bowser felt like he could walk no further and would throw up anytime. After gently laying Link down on the grassy ground, Bowser took two steps forward and collapsed, the poison dragging him into unconsciousness.

Next Time: The smashers say goodbye and go on with their lives in "aftermath", but what about Link and Bowser? You'll just have to wait.
OK, though 26 is truly the story's last chapter, I am going to have a making of the story chapter. If you have any questions about the story, put them in a review (and don't forget to actually review).
(I also apologize for lack of spell/grammar check in this chapter. MS Works isn't installed)
After I have finished the story, I will make an edited (not censored) version that has a manual (as in I will read and correct myself first) and an automatic (can you say MS Works?) grammar/spell check. I will remove most of the before and after notes from the edited version.
