This chapter is much longer and more interesting than the last one. Really!
Disclaimer: I only own Scales and Pi2.
Pi2 looked away from the monitors, disgusted. Pretty much everyone was screaming, frightened by what Heinrich was doing. Quickly, Pi2 pressed the big red button on the remote. The laser web activated, the beams pivoting to hit Heinrich. Heinrich screeched as the beams struck him, pulling him away from the bloody mess that had been Dr. Neo Cortex. The lasers acted like tractor beams, dragging the Xenomorph inch by once to the cage. Heinrich put up a great struggle, but in the end was trapped once more. The crate folded back up, the screws spun back into their sockets, and chains and padlocks re-wrapped and locked themselves. Heinrich was safely secured. The same could not be said for Cortex. Pi2 quickly got onto the P.A. "Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the sheer brutality and gut-wrenching horror we just saw. But don't worry, Heinrich is locked up tight and won't be freed again until the second round. Due to Cortex's death and his, well, innards being strewn everywhere, the Xenomorph wins the match. Any of you who feel like throwing up, there are garbage bags beneath every seat that can be used for that purpose. I will revive Cortex after the tournament, so none of you needs to be worried. The next tournament will start in a few minutes, after we get the cage into storage and scoop up what's left of Neo. Thank you for your time." He turned to his companions in the control booth. "Get that crazy Xenomorph out of the arena! And send somebody with a strong stomach to pick up Cortex's body parts, will you? It will be easier to revive him if I have most of his components."
In the lounge, the Smashers had several different reactions to Heinrich's display. Most of them were thoroughly disgusted. Ganondorf was jealous, muttering, "That Xenomorph is trying to outdo what I did to Oxygen," even though that was impossible for obvious reasons. There was only one who had enjoyed the match. "That was some display of mass violence! A pity it was over so quickly, though. Ah, well. Maybe next time." said Majora. He was the only one looking forward to the possibility of battling Heinrich. Maybe after he had achieved his goal, he would take the Xenomorph as a pet. The Happy Mask Salesman frowned at him, but went back to watching TV. Pi2 came on the P.A. "Grunty, Chaos, report to the arena. It's time for your match. Oh, and if you see some part of Cortex, like an eyeball or whatever, please try not to damage it." Gruntilda picked up her broomstick, running out the door. Chaos followed, as a puddle.
"Our stage for this tournament is." The projectors formed a large X- shaped tower top, with battlement stones and a grated hole in the center. "The top of Gruntilda's Lair. We begin in 3." Grunty flew in on her broomstick. "2." The puddle that was Chaos slid up the side of the tower and onto the battlefield, changing to his true form. "1.Go!" Grunty cackled and flew over the grate. "Picking a fight with me you will regret, cause I'll beat you without breaking a sweat!" she jeered. Chaos tilted his head in confusion. "Uh.why are you rhyming?" "I'm only doing it to irritate you, Aqua Boy. Now, where were we? Oh, yes! Ahem. On your bones I'll be a feastin', watch and you'll soon see the reason!" Laughing, she suddenly swooped down, her broom's lower jaw getting larger and filling with sharp teeth. Chaos just stood there as Grunty got closer and closer. Then, at the last second, he turned into a puddle. The broom soared right over where he had been just a second ago, and Grunty almost ran into a battlement. Growling, she turned around as Chaos reformed. She swooped down again. Chaos dissolved again, and Grunty's broom soared halfway across the tower top before stopping, it's "engine" stalled. Frustrated, Grunty kicked the sides of the broom, trying to get the thing to work. Chaos formed into a ball and bounced across the arena, smacking into her back. She yelped and spun around, the broom fixed. Angry, she hurled a fireball at Chaos. The flaming projectile hit Chaos and extinguished, causing a little steam to emit from the god. Grunty swooped at him again. Chaos dissolved, and Grunty missed. She made another swooping run, and missed once more. And it was just her luck that the broom stalled again, allowing Chaos to bounce into her once more. As she spun around, she yelled, "Fire may not do you much damage, this spell should be more than you can manage!" She hurled a powerful green spell at Chaos, who barely dodged it. Rising into the air, Grunty tried a swoop again. When that missed, she tried again. And again. Then her broom stalled, and Chaos bounced into her. She threw another spell, still missing the deity. Jeez, she really needs to work on her aim, doesn't she? Really mad now, she tried swooping four more times. On the fourth run, she actually hit Chaos! Unfortunately, all that happened was she went right through his liquid body and out the other side, sopping wet. It was too bad for Chaos that witches didn't really dissolve in water. And the broom stalled yet again, allowing Chaos to strike another blow and get a spell retaliation, which missed yet again. Grunty flew above the center of the tower and raised her hands, charging a more powerful attack. "Ouch, my poor back you've hurt, so take this spell I'm about to, uh, blurt! Wow, that sounds really stupid." She threw the spell, a swirling nexus of energy, like a flying buzzsaw. Chaos deformed into a puddle and attempted to dodge the spell. The buzzsaw changed direction, following him! It was apparently some kind of homing missile. As Chaos kept failing in his attempts to evade the spell, it hit him, causing him to reform and stagger around, dazed. Grunty flew past the battlements, on an even line with the tower top, and started hurling green spells. Chaos quickly recovered in time to turn into a puddle and miss the spell. Chaos slithered over to the battlement stone directly in front of Grunty, reforming ion a crouched position. All the spells kept hitting the stone, giving him safety. He reached out with both arms, extending them around the stone and giving a surprised Grunty twelve punches in a row. "What the-hey, stop-ow!" Angrily, she flew higher into the air, away from Chaos' tentacles. Once at a sufficient altitude, she leered down at her foe. "Eh, you're pretty good I will admit, but you this magnet spell will surely hit!" She threw another homing spell. Chaos couldn't protect himself and was struck once more. He wobbled, temporarily losing his cohesion. Grunty laughed and started raining sells down on him. Chaos recovered and slid around the tower, dodging the spells and firing laser beams from his eyes, hitting Grunty four times. "Ha! Take that, witch!" Grunty growled. "I say enough is enough, now it's time for me to get really rough!" She waved her hands, encasing herself and the broom in a protective force field. "Try as you might, you won't penetrate this shell, I will stay in here all nice and well!" Floating to the ground, she came to a stop over the grate, giving her a great point from which to attack Chaos. She started hurling spells at him, nonstop. As Chaos slithered around as a puddle in an attempt to avoid damage, he began charging up his special attack, the only thing he knew could penetrate Grunty's shield. As the witch stopped to take a breather, Chaos reformed, his claws holding the charged energy. "Let's see if your force field can stop this attack, witch! Chaos Beam!" He fired a powerful blast colored like the rainbow. The beam went through the shield, striking Grunty. She wailed. "Aaaack! You stupid puddle, just try that again, let's see if you can take it like a man!" "Okay." Chaos had been charging another beam while Grunty was talking and shot it at her, hitting her again. "Why you little." Angrily, Grunty started hurling spells again. Chaos simply deformed, dodged while gathering energy, and fired again. Grunty got hit, and retaliated with a salvo of lethal spells. Chaos dodged, recharged, and fired one last beam. Gruntilda's broom exploded. She shrieked, falling from the air. Her force field caused her to bounce off the ground and land on to of a battlement. She groaned, shaking her head. "You stupid twit, you broke my broom! Now prepare to meet your doom!" the enraged Gruntilda started launching really powerful purple spells that exploded with a big bang. Chaos easily dodged five spells, only to get hit by the homing spell Grunty had cast. Because of the homing spell, Chaos would be unable to get enough time to charge up for his Chaos Beam before getting hit. He would need a diversion. Fortunately, he had one. Chaos' puddle suddenly stopped moving as the three colored orbs representing his eyes and brain emerged from the puddle and started flying around Grunty crazily. A bit confused, the witch threw spells in random directions, trying to hit at least one of the orbs. She cast a homing spell, hitting one of the eyes. It wobbled, but kept on flying undamaged. Grunty kept casting her doom spells, only managing a hit when she used a homing spell, and even then it never seemed to do anything. Then, when she was getting tired, the three orbs flew away, rejoining the puddle, which formed into Chaos. Grunty was about to cast another spell when she saw that the God of Destruction had a massive energy ball charged in his claws. He had spent the diversion time creating a supercharged Chaos Beam that would surely defeat her. "Oh shi-" Chaos fired the beam. Grunty screamed as her force field shattered and she was knocked off the stone, falling to the ground below. She hit with a loud crash, causing a hole in the shape of her body to be formed where she had fallen. As she started to pull herself up, she looked up in time to see the large battlement stone she had been sitting on hurtling towards her, dislodged by the powerful Chaos Beam. She screamed. "NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The rock smashed onto her, plugging up the hole. The crowd went wild. The stage faded, and Chaos was lowered to the ground. He took his bows, knowing he deserved them.
Well, that was a good battle isn't it? And the next one may be even more exciting! Just watch and wait. Next time: After Grunty is pulled out from under the boulder, Scales and Captain Razorbeard prepare for battle. Scales is a bit nervous, seeing as how she has never fought in her current body before, while Razorbeard has been slaying for years. Will she make up for her inexperience and win, or will the robot pirate just get another victory? Find out next time on.Super Smash Bosses!
