Anguirus111 note: I rewrote the ending to this chapter so it's going to be a doozy. I'll upload new chapters because I didn't like the way it originally ended, too abrupt.
The Super Star Destroyer The Kilobyte slowly made it's way across Hyrule. Deep in the bowels Kirby, Dash, and Yoshi made their way across the large open area towards the nearest turbolift area.
"Just out of curiosity, who are the Blues Brothers?" asked Dash. Kirby looked up at him.
"They're a blues band in another universe on a planet called Earth. One time King Dede made a device that forced my into their dimension. Lo and behold I wound up on Earth directly in front of Elwood Blues and Jake Blues. They asked me if I wanted to join them in saving an orphanage. I said yes and we lead a romp through Illinois singing and getting in trouble with the law. It was a wild ride and it ended with me returning home somehow. Good times. Anyway I think it was myself doing a selfless act that returned me home. I guess it was a dimensional bleed into this universe that had the Blues Brothers exist in order to perform a song right when we needed to come up with a bogus identity to search the base. I guess picking me for your group was a good idea," said Kirby.
"Yep," said Yoshi. They finally approached the turbolift and Dash was about to push the button to call the lift when Yoshi stopped him.
"What's up?" asked Dash believing that Yoshi had a perfectly reasonable explanation for what he had done.
"Track us," said Yoshi. Dash thought about it and then realized what Yoshi was talking about.
"He means that this lift would probably rarely be used at this junction in the middle of the ship. If we used it, it would set off an alarm and by the time we arrived at our destination we would be in serious trouble," said Dash. He nodded approvingly at Yoshi who merely beamed back. Kirby held up his arms in frustration.
"Well that's just great! Now what do we do? We can't walk to the end of the ship it's too far!" exclaimed Kirby. He found a can on the ground and gave it a huge kick. The can merely clattered along the floor before disappearing.
"Where'd it go?" asked Kirby. Dash shook his head.
"I think it disappeared into a cloaking field of some kind. C'mon let's check it out," said Dash. They walked forward and disappeared into the cloaking field. Inside the cloaking field were several cars including a Ford LTD (the car from Men in Black).
"Wow! It's a car collectors dream. We're looking at BMW's, Mercedes, Lamborghini's, Ford's, and various others. Wow!" said Kirby in la-la land. Dash smacked him upside the head.
"Stay focused. What's a car?" asked Dash. Kirby looked up at him in shock.
"Need for speed," said Yoshi licking one of the BMW's.
"A car is a form of grounded transportation that moves along the ground on wheels. Let's take this Ford LTD. I've seen it before when I was transported to another dimension. It's the car the MIB agents J and K use," said Kirby. They all hopped inside and Kirby slapped on his seatbelt.
"Put on your seatbelts, this is gonna be one hell of drive," said Kirby.
"Why are you driving?" asked Dash putting on his seatbelt.
"Do you know how?" asked Kirby. Yoshi clicked in his seatbelt in the middle backseat.
"Well no…" began Dash.
"That's why," said Kirby. He reached for the ignition and turned it on. The car roared to life and Kirby slammed his foot on the pedal and the car burst forward with incredible speed headed for the rear section.
"This thing's faster than the Bluesmobile," said Kirby. Dash looked at him bewildered before glancing at their surroundings.
"We need to get there faster than this," said Dash. Kirby looked at the red button next to him with an evil grin spread across his face.
"Push the red button," said Kirby.
"I don't see why but okay," said Dash. He pressed the button and everyone was thrown back into their seats as the car transformed into a sleek craft with two large rockets sticking out the back.
"Wheee!" exclaimed Kirby as the car rocketed forward at incalculable speeds.
"Kirby you idiot!" exclaimed Dash. The car blazed past the Tie's on the floor above the exit bay and continued moving forward. A large object stood in front of them.
"A tollbooth? What the hell?" Kirby exclaimed. The car blazed right through it and Kirby flung some money out of the car. The money conveniently landed inside the basket.
"Much obliged!" yelled Bart and The Waco Kid who were in charge of the tollbooth. The LTD continued moving forward.
"I just had an idea that would eliminate our need to use the elevator," said Kirby. Dash looked at him.
"Kirby, don't do anything!" exclaimed Dash.
"Too late!" yelled Yoshi. Kirby spun the wheel and the car rocketed up the sidewall and up onto the ceiling of the hollowed out super star destroyer.
"Kirby! Screw you!" yelled Dash. They were all hanging upside down from their belts as the car blazed a few more miles before coming to a screeching halt upside down.
"Hurry before inertia catches up with us," said Kirby grabbing a grappling gun. He leaned out the window and fired it. The grapple took hold next to an entrance that led to a floor that was right below the ceiling.
"Undo your belts and grab my hand," said Kirby. Dash and Kirby undid their belts and held onto Kirby. Kirby swung out of the car and they hung there for a moment when inertia caught up and the car plummeted to the ground. Thankfully the car didn't explode but merely disintegrated. Kirby shed a tear and then pressed a button the gun retracting the cable. They rose up and swung into the door. It burst inward and the team landed in a heap. The looked up to see five Kremlings aiming their weapons at them.
"Hi guys," said Kirby gulping hard.
Zelda's Castle: Leebo was working hard trying to fix the Outrider so he could return for Dash and the others. Link and Zelda where in the wardroom coming up with a plan of defense against whatever the enemy could come up with. Mario and Mewtwo were the only other ones there since Capt. Falcon and Lupus had gone AWOL and BlackWargreymon was currently doing surveillance sweeps.
"I don't believe this castle can survive another beating," said Mewtwo. Mario nodded his head in agreement.
"Nevertheless we must continue to try and hold on here," said Link.
"And do what? You're fighting a loosing battle here. Your only hope is to go on the offensive," said Mewtwo.
"We can't do that! We'll be massacred," asked Zelda.
"It doesn't matter. The enemy must be dealt with any way possible. You must go on the offensive for once. I tried defending my home once and it nearly ended in disaster. I barely survived before healing and going on the offensive. I managed to protect my home and triumph over evil. You must do the same. No more hiding. It's time to fight. With my help and the others we can defeat this enemy once and for all. If you won't lead them then I will," said Mewtwo leaving. Mario shrugged and ran after him. Link sighed.
"We don't have a choice do we?" Zelda asked.
"Nope. It's time we finally fought back for what's ours. You said so yourself, you brought these people here to help us and that's what they're doing. I'll go ready the men," said Link leaving. Zelda sighed and walked over to a book of magic and began reading it in the hopes that it would provide some inspiration.
Field outside Zelda's castle: "I'm tired. I'm taking a break," said Capt. Falcon. Lupus barked frustrated.
"Forget it. I don't care anymore what the Star Fox team says. I'm not going to put up with your hassling anymore," said Capt. Falcon. He set the front part of the cart on the ground and popped out some bread and water. Lupus leapt off the cart to join him.
"I wouldn't have turned you in anyway. I just want what's best and this food would let both of us survive that slop they try to feed us," said Lupus.
"No argument there. I've had rations before, but that stuff ranks lower than rations. I think they're screwed in the long run as far as this war is concerned," said Capt. Falcon.
"Yeah. But we have to help them," said Lupus.
"I tell you what. If we do help them and still wind up still being here, how about we make our own business? We can be mechanics and create stuff that exists where we come from but doesn't exist here. We'll be rich,' said Capt. Falcon.
"I am intrigued. I can see dollar signs in our future," said Lupus. The two started laughing when a large rumbling was heard.
"Lupus! I didn't know you were that hungry!" said Capt. Falcon.
"It wasn't me," said Lupus. A large shadow fell over them and they looked up to see the super star destroyer.
"How could I have missed seeing that?" asked Capt. Falcon. They looked across the plain and saw several tanks coming their way towards the castle. The super star destroyer began launching tie fighters and other assault vehicles towards the castle. Lupus looked at Capt. Falcon.
"I say we beat a hasty retreat back to the farm," the dog said.
"I totally and completely agree," said Capt Falcon. The two abandoned the cart and ran back to the farm while a couple of tanks took notice of them and started firing after them. Lupus and Capt. Falcon ran into the farm and closed the door.
"This is not good," said Lupus. Laser shots rang out all over the castle as an AAT began hammering the compound.
"Oh hell. Let's go out with a bang," said Capt. Falcon grabbing his gun.
"I don't know," said Lupus. A large explosion went off and the whole farm was pelted with food.
"They destroyed the building with food! Now I'll have to eat that stupid slop! Oh that's it! They're history!" exclaimed Lupus. He burst through the door and began firing rockets everywhere while Capt. Falcon began firing at the tanks. They were all gone within a few moments but then an AT-AT appeared and Capt. Falcon and Lupus ran for it as the thing began hammering the entire facility.
"Back to the castle," said Capt. Falcon. That soon proved impossible as the castle had closed its drawbridge and was being hammered by dozens of tanks and Tie fighters.
"Stay fuzzy, save the world. Choices," said Lupus. Another rift opened and a small furry animal flew out.
"Hi! I'm Jaxter," said the furry animal. Lupus gave him about and he went back through the rift.
"Nice people skills," said Capt. Falcon.
"Oh shut up," said Lupus. They continued running from the AT-AT as it continued firing on them.
"Not good, not good," said Capt. Falcon. A rift opened and a swoop bike landed next to them.
"It's too good to be true," said Lupus.
"I know. I say we take it," said Capt. Falcon. They leapt onto the swoop and Capt. Falcon gunned it and raced off.
Castle: Everything had gone to hell when the super star destroyer arrived and began unleashing its units. Mewtwo and BlackWargreymon were out in the field launching their energy attacks at the various tanks while Mario unleashed fireballs from the battlements.
"Terrra Destroyer!" yelled BlackWargreymon unleashing his large energy ball. It flew forward and blew up a tank. Mewtwo lifted the tanks with his psychic powers and launched them at the super star destroyer above. The tanks merely exploded harmlessly against the ships armor.
"Leebo what's your status," said Mewtwo into a radio he was carrying.
"I should be done in a few minutes," the droid responded.
"Hurry up. You've got to get that ship air born. It's a sitting duck on the ground," said Mewtwo cutting off the link. Mewtwo then leapt into the sky and soared off towards the incoming Tie fighters. Mewtwo encased his body in a psychic energy ball and blasted his way through several Ties before slamming into the ground. BlackWargreymon landed next to him.
"Are you okay?" the digimon asked. Mewtwo stood up weakly.
"I'm fine. It's just that this isn't easy," said Mewtwo. He leapt back up into the sky and BlackWargreymon zoomed after him. The initially fought together, but soon the amount of Tie Fighters separated the two of them. They majority of the Tie's decided to focus on Mewtwo and the pokemon drained the rest of his energy when he forced the Tie's away with a massive psychic bursts. Mewtwo plummeted towards the ground and was about to hit it when the Outrider swung in and under Mewtwo catching the pokemon on its top. Mewtwo shook its head of the cobwebs and noticed its surroundings. A panel opened up and Mario stuck his head out.
"Get in!" he yelled. Mewtwo crawled over and in as the ship performed a tight barrel roll. Mewtwo fell down in the main area of the Outrider. Mario was already running climbing a nearby ladder.
"We need to arm the laser cannons and defend this ship and the castle," said Mario. Mewtwo nodded and stumbled over to the ladder. Mario had thankfully climbed to the top turret so Mewtwo had an easier time reaching the bottom one. Mewtwo strapped himself in as the Outrider flew above the droid and kremling army below.
"Okay Mewtwo it's fairly simple. Just point the turret and squeeze the trigger," said Leebo over the radio. Mewtwo concentrated his weakened psychic powers to guide himself in aiming at the enemy. Several troops were mowed down below as a few fighters were destroyed above.
"Are we going back to the base anytime soon?" asked Mewtwo.
"No," said Leebo.
"Why not? Dash us to go and get him," said Mewtwo.
"Considering he's currently on the super star destroyer above us. I'd say that even if we wanted to get him we couldn't," said Leebo. The Outrider performed a couple more tight rolls before zooming low across the ground.
"Stay sharp because here we go," said Leebo. The Outrider slammed upwards and dozens of Tie's zoomed by. Mewtwo and Mario did there best to destroy them all, but there were too many.
"We're being swarmed!" exclaimed Mario.
"I know I'm doing my best," said Leebo. The Outrider flew on through the dogfight.
Castle: Explosions rocked the inner courtyard as energy charges rained down from Tie Bombers above.
"What should we do? We're helpless against their superior weaponry," said Link. Zelda looked up at the super star destroyer blocking out the sun. She then produced the triforce.
"What're you going to do with that?" asked Link.
"I'm about to do something stupid, but if all works according to plan it shouldn't matter," said Zelda. She held up the triforce and then slammed it down. The three triangle shaped device shattered. Instantly hundreds of dimensional rifts opened and closed at irregularly spaced intervals and different places all over the sky and on the ground.
"What've you done?" demanded Link.
"Relax. I haven't gone insane or at least I hope not. The triforce was the only device that kept the dimensions in check. Without it they'll all begin to intersect. However theirs is a device that brings the universe's together on that ship above and if it too is destroyed than everything will revert back to normal as if a gigantic reset button was activated," said Zelda. A flaming object flew out of one of the rifts and exploded against the Kilobyte. More objects flew out of the various rifts and slammed into the ground and various other objects. On the ground Capt. Falcon did his best to avoid the falling debris from the other universes.
"Watch out!" exclaimed Lupus. Capt. Falcon slammed on the brakes of the swoop and a large ramp fell in front of them. Capt. Falcon noticed that the ramp pointed towards the top of the castle.
"I just had an idea," said Capt. Falcon. He back up the swoop and stopped it. He then began gunning the engine.
"What're you…oh no," said Lupus realizing what was about to happen. Capt. Falcon gunned the swoop's engine and slammed the accelerator. The swoop leapt forward and zoomed towards the ramp.
"We're all gonna die!" exclaimed Lupus. The swoop zoomed up the ramp and was airborne. The swoop flew towards the top of the castle and landed inside the courtyard to the shock of the people inside.
"Eviel Knevel, you've got nothing on us," said Capt. Falcon. Lupus hopped off visibly shaken.
"Now aren't you glad you didn't really have anything to eat," said Capt. Falcon. Lupus tackled him to the ground despite the fact that a war was going on.
"If you ever do that again I will kill you!" exclaimed Lupus. Capt. Falcon laughed.
"Alright. Do you want to ride with me in my racer? I need someone to man the weapons console," said Capt. Falcon. Lupus nodded and the two leapt into his fighter and zoomed forward to the upraised drawbridge.
"Hey Link! How about lowering this baby for us!" yelled Capt. Falcon to Link on top of the drawbridge.
"I can only lower it so much. There's a war going on out there!" exclaimed Link.
"Really! I hadn't noticed!" exclaimed Capt. Falcon. The drawbridge partially lowered and the racer zoomed forward up the bridge and soared into the battle ahead of them. The car then hovered low over the ground and Capt. Falcon zoomed away from the raising drawbridge. Capt. Falcon began swerving through the wreckage and trying to avoid the laser fire.
"Fire at will Lupus," said Capt. Falcon. The dog pressed the fire button and lasers flew out of the racer destroying both wreckage and tanks.
"Keep it up," said Capt. Falcon. The racer pressed on through the battle.
The Kilobyte's bridge: Dash, Kirby, and Yoshi were in shackles on the bridge and were forced to watch the battle below.
"As you can see we're fully prepared for any onslaught the pitiful Hyrulians can come up with. True Princess Zelda actually acted on impulse and shattered the barrier between the dimensions by destroying the triforce but other than that we'll be okay. Nothing can stop a Super Star Destroyer, you know that Mr. Rendar," said Mr. Game & Watch. Another object slammed into The Kilobyte and exploded.
"I think this capital cruiser is more bark than bite. You obviously couldn't have brought this entire ship here because it's not possible. I think you brought that ship here piece by piece but you didn't have enough manpower or time to build an entire ship. This ship probably has barely any turbolasers at all. And even if there are any they're probably only located on the most important parts of this ship making it vulnerable," said Dash. Ganondorf laughed.
"This ship is too strong to be destroyed by anything that Zelda can throw at us. We are supreme," the madman laughed.
"Who's 'we'?" asked Kirby.
"This is a war between 2D and 3D. It is a war of the videogames 80's and early 90's against the late 90's and 2000's and beyond," said Mr. Game & Watch. Dash and Kirby did a double take.
"What?" they both asked. Mr. Game & Watch pointed to Yoshi.
"He knows what I'm talking about, he always has. I see you not as flesh and blood, but hard light and pixels. You're an image, not a creature created by those called the users. They have determined your destiny out there," said Mr. Game & Watch pointing out to a nearby wall and towards you.
"I don't believe you," said Dash.
"Well then let me show you," said Mr. Game & Watch. He flicked out his hand and Dash shattered into a thousand pixels. Mr. Game & Watch flicked his hand back and Dash reformed shivering and in shock
"Dude, you okay?" asked Kirby. Dash merely shook.
"Snap of it!" yelled Kirby. He slapped Dash across the face who then returned somewhat to normal.
"You're insane," said Dash coldly.
"No. I merely know too much," said Mr. Game & Watch.
"How?" asked Yoshi.
"Because I am what became of the first games ever created. They were left on the backburner, lost and forgotten. I was created by their fusion with a ROM. Now I can see everything for what they truly are," said Mr. Game & Watch returning his attention to the battle below. Yoshi returned to Kirby and Dash and they were all escorted to the a jail cell a couple hallways away.
Battle: More Ties swarmed the sky, as the Outrider was quickly overwhelmed.
"Shields down to 15%, we're not going to last much longer," said Leebo. A Tie came rushing right at them firing and was destroyed by laser fire.
"Good job Mario," said Leebo.
"It wasn't me," said Mario.
"Me neither. I've been concentrating on the ground units," said Mewtwo.
"Then who?" asked Leebo. Two Arwings swung overhead and in front of the Outrider.
"Sorry for the delay," said Fox.
"Bout time you showed up," said Leebo.
"Let's kick some tail," said Falco. The Outrider and the Arwings plunged forward lasers firing at the enemy.
Castle: A shuttle trailing fire streaked over the walls and slammed down in the courtyard. The ramp opened and D.K. and Ness rushed out herding the rescued prisoners out of the ship. Link rushed up to them.
"How about some reinforcements?" D.K. asked.
"I think we'll be fine for now," said Link laughing.
"I suspected as much," said Ness. The prisoners quickly picked up bows and arrows and proceeded to the top of the walls and began firing them at the enemy. The shuttle was quickly hosed down and smoke trailed from the end of it. D.K. looked up at the star destroyer above and then at the shuttle.
"Did Leebo have any parts left over?" asked D.K.
"They're over there," said Link pointing to several large boxes in the middle of the courtyard.
"I just had an idea," said D.K. moving towards the boxes.
Kilobyte: "What's his problem?" asked Dash. Yoshi sighed.
"I must confess something to you Dash. I'm an undercover agent from an agency simply known as Nintendo. We've been following Mr. Game & Watch's movements for a few years now. I wasn't dragged here by the triforce. I was placed here by my agency to stop him. I gave the appearance of limited intelligence because I didn't know whom to trust. Now I'm sure that you're not in league with this madman. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner," said Yoshi.
"So you do have a noggin after all," said Kirby. Yoshi nodded.
"Does Mr. Game & Watch know?" asked Dash.
"Indeed he does. Mr. Game & Watch was in control of my agency for several years. Little did we know that all the information we gathered on other dimensions would be used against us. Mr. Game & Watch stole an interdimensional transporter and transported himself away before realized what was up. We spent the next several years tracking him and we found him here. I was sent here to stop him and now I've failed," said Yoshi.
"So everything he said is true," said Dash. Yoshi nodded.
"About 30 years ago a user somehow entered into our gaming universe. He told his creation TRON everything about how his people created these realities out of their own imagination. He told us how our reality is nothing but a form of entertainment to his people. They seize control of us and make us do what they want without us ever being aware of it at all. TRON was the one who created the agency and pulled his agents from other universes. I was pulled to the agency a little more than a decade ago. I was employed in their service to monitor the other universes and guard against things like viruses and hackers and report glitches. The viruses are easy to control, but the hackers have become better than ever. We've had almost every universe copied and manipulated since the invention of a device called the Internet. It's not good," said Yoshi. He reached into his mouth and pulled out a tooth.
"What're you going to do, knock the guards unconscious with the power of calcium?" said Kirby laughing.
"This tooth refers to the glitch I used to monitor. If I press this, a glitch will develop in the programming of this universe. I don't know what will happen. The glitch could either help or hinder us. It was designed for use as a last ditch method. In light of our situation I think we might as well use it," said Yoshi.
"I don't see what choice we have. My concept on reality has been shattered and I don't know anything anymore," said Dash.
"Hey. Calm down. Look at me. I'm happy and carefree and I don't care about what universe I'm in or who's controlling me," said Kirby.
"Yeah but I can't be you," said Dash.
"Ah but you can," said Kirby.
"How?" Dash asked. Kirby belched up several books, audiotapes, and compact disks.
"It's simple. For the low price of the money we received from our gig as the Blues Brothers, you will learn how to be happy and carefree like me," said Kirby. Dash picked up one of the books, which read: How to be happy and carefree like me. On the items, it showed a picture of Kirby with wads of cash in his hands and laughing maniacally at the reader.
"Very simple," said Dash.
"It can be yours if the Price is Right," said Kirby. A portal opened and two older men.
"Way to go Rod," said Bob Barker.
"Oh screw you Bob," said Rod Roney. Kirby sucked them both into his mouth and spit them out into the portal as it closed behind them.
"Here," said Dash. He handed the money to Kirby who took it and struck a pose identical to ones on the front of his book. Kirby then turned to Yoshi.
"Press it," he said. Yoshi nodded and pressed the button.
Bridge: "Sir, the weapons have died and engines are at 50%. We're just barely afloat," said Bowser.
"How is that possible?" asked Mr. Game & Watch. The Kilobyte fell from the sky and smashed the enemies below it. A panel blared the word: Glitch.
"Yoshi!" exclaimed Mr. Game & Watch. He growled and walked off towards the navicomputer of the ship.
Cells: "I can't pick this lock. I'd need a fork or something," said Dash.
"Allow me," said Kirby. He gulped hard and then belched out a fork.
"So that's where you put the silverware you stole," said Yoshi.
"I could only leave it with the one person I trust. Me," said Kirby. Dash picked the lock and they escaped.
"C'mon. We've got to find a way out of here and back onto the ground and get to the Outrider," said Dash. He tore down the hallway followed by Kirby and Yoshi.
Outside: The Outrider and Arwings were still blasting away at enemy fighters.
"There are too many! We aren't going to last much longer out here," said Falco.
"I know I know. The castle isn't faring much better," said Leebo. Down on the ground, Link and Hyrulians were firing arrows against lasers as the AAT's and an AT-AT continued pounding the walls. Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon continued weaving its path through the enemy ranks while firing at them.
"I sure wish I had my ship," he said. Lupus barked.
"Quit complaining and keep driving. You can't do both and quite frankly, I don't want to die here, I want to live and make money and get drunk," he said.
"True. Just keep firing and hang on," said Capt. Falcon. Then throughout all the mayhem and destruction, The Kilobyte stopped firing and started to slowly wobble slightly.
"What the hell?" Capt. Falcon asked. Lupus shrugged.
"Must be a decoy, designed to throw us off," he said.
"If it's a decoy, it's a dumb one. Now's the perfect chance to sneak on board," said Mewtwo.
"It's gotta be a trap," said Lupus.
"I'm sorry, but it's our only chance and we've got to take it. Let's rock and roll," said Leebo. The Outrider blasted off towards the Kilobyte followed by the Arwings.
"What about us?" Capt. Falcon asked.
"You'll manage fine without us," said Leebo. Capt. Falcon growled.
"How dare they leave us and take all the glory for themselves!" shouted Capt. Falcon.
"Yeah! We should be the ones up their claiming salvage rights as soon as they become available," Lupus chimed in.
"Yeah well there's no way we're getting up there in this thing," said Capt. Falcon. Then the comm. system buzzed to life.
"Falcon, you want glory? Fine, come back to the castle. I've fixed the shuttle and we're going up there after them," said D.K. Capt. Falcon grinned.
"Excellent," he said pulling the Blue Falcon around and heading back towards the castle. Then up above, a roar was heard and the Kilobyte began moving off and away from the planet.
"Uh-oh," said Fox as the chased after the rapidly moving ship.
"Yeah, we can't make it to the bay. Let's hook onto the rear portion of the ship before it gets out of range and go along for the ride," said Leebo running parallel to the massive Super Star Destroyer.
"Activating the landing claw," said Leebo. A landing claw emerged for the bottom of the ship as Leebo made a couple of slight course corrections and then slammed the ship on the Kilobyte. A horrible grinding of metal was heard and then the ship clamped on solidly. The two Arwings did the same as the Kilobyte left Hyrule behind and entered the upper atmosphere. Back on the ground, Capt. Falcon and Lupus rushed through the courtyard towards the shuttle. The leapt onboard as the ramp slammed shut. Inside, they found Link, Ness, and Zelda already onboard.
"Ness get up here, I need a copilot. Everyone else just sit tight," said D.K. The shuttle wobbled off the ground and then blasted off after the distant Kilobyte. But despite the shuttle being smaller and more aerodynamic, the massive vessel was still pulling away.
"Blast it, we'll never catch them this way! And once they enter hyperspace, we'll never find them again!" shouted D.K.
"Is there a way to find out where they're going without actually being there?" asked Ness. D.K. thought about it.
"I think there is. If I can obtain a remote access to link to the navicomputer on the Kilobyte, I should be able to ascertain where they're going," said D.K. moving to the comm. board.
"You'd better hurry because once they clear the planet's gravity well, they'll enter hyperspace and we'll be left with nothing," said Ness. D.K. nodded.
"For a kid, you sure know a lot," he said. Ness shrugged.
"Like you I believe in the two rules of the universe: Kill or be killed and adapt or die," he said.
"True," said D.K. continuing to work on the terminal.
The Kilobyte: Mr. Game & Watch was furiously scanning space looking for something.
"What're you trying to find?" asked Ganandorf. Mr. Game & Watch gave him a brief glance before returning his attention to the map of space.
"I'm looking for something, a link," said Mr. Game & Watch.
"To what?" asked Ganandorf. Mr. Game & Watch gave him a smirk.
"Wait and see," he said. Then the screen pinged and it zoomed in on a position in space.
"Excellent. Navigator, set coordinates to what I'm about to send you and prepare to jump as soon as we're clear of the gravity well," said Mr. Game & Watch.
"Roger," said the sharpclaw on the other end. Mr. Game & Watch leaned back in his chair.
"Now we leave this pitiful universe, recover from our losses, and strike back a thousand fold," he said with a smile on his face even though it was impossible to make out since he was all black and didn't really have lips.
"Whatever. Just as long as it works," said Ganandorf said walking off.
"Oh it will work, and when it does we will be unstoppable," said Mr. Game & Watch. Then Bowser rushed into the room.
"Sir, terrible news. The prisoner's have escaped from their cell," he said out of breath. Mr. Game & Watch waved the topic off with a shrug of his hand.
"It doesn't matter. No matter what they try it won't work. In less than fifteen minutes, they'll no longer be a problem," said Mr. Game & Watch.
"Preparing for hyperspace, hang on," said a sharpclaw over the intercom. Then the Kilobyte zoomed into hyperspace leaving the planet behind, still carrying its unwelcome burden on its hull.
"Good we've entered hyperspace. That means their external sensors won't work. Now we'll sneak on board and rescue Dask, Kirby, and Yoshi," said Leebo.
"How? We can't breathe in space," said Mewtwo. Leebo nodded and pulled back the doors of a nearby closet revealing several spacesuits.
"We take this, enter through the rearmost hatch and enter the ship. We locate Dash and Co., find a way to blow this thing up and then return to our separate dimensions," said Leebo. Mario shrugged.
"Seems simple enough," he said. The group suited up except for Leebo who didn't need air and Mewtwo who could project a psychic ball with air and BlackWargreymon who didn't breathe through any conventional means if at all.
"Okay let's go," said Leebo. He hit the hatch and it opened. The team then left the ship and walked towards the nearest hatch. Fox and Falco stayed in their fighters because they didn't have suits so they watched as the team entered the massive ship.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Fox. Falco shrugged.
"We could play cards," suggested Falco sighing. Fox sighed as well.
"How about you tell me what you did when you left the team," said Fox. Falco shrugged.
"Sure why not. It'll pass the time. Anyway, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there lived a bird who-," he began.
"Falco?"
"Yeah?"
"You didn't leave this galaxy and this only happened over the course of 8 years so quit lying," said Fox. Falco laughed.
"Just a little creative language," he said.
"Yeah, let's hope that's all it was," said Fox. Falco looked at him across space confused.
"What do you mean?" he asked. A gateway opened in front of them revealing a slightly gray haired man with a beard alongside a man clad in black armor.
"You're both lucky I don't sue both of you," said George Lucas.
"Especially after stealing my lines," said Darth Vader. Then the gateway closed in front of a wide-eyed Fox and Falco.
"Yikes!" said Fox. Falco was just too shocked to speak.
"Okay then, moving on. I think I'll tell you what I did while you were away. It was a dark and stormy night," began Fox. Another rift began opening.
"Is there nothing I can say without getting threatened to be sued? Alright, all rights reserved for that previous statement!" shouted Fox. The rift closed immediately while Fox breathed a collective sigh of relief. He was about to say something before thinking better about it and closed his mouth. The two of them just sat in silence as the ship kept moving through hyperspace.
Inside: Leebo and Co., had just climbed a ladder down to the bottom of the empty space that comprised the hull and were walking towards the main bridge area that Dash and Co., had headed for. Luckily Leebo and the group had less distance to travel since they were at the back of the ship while Dash had been at the front of the ship.
"I had a feeling that this thing was hollow. If it had been fully stocked with crew and equipment, it couldn't have been able to fly in Hyrule's atmosphere. C'mon, let's keep moving. I have a device built into me so I can locate Dash anywhere," said Leebo. He continued walking down the massive empty area towards the tower.
Shuttle: The Kilobyte blasted off into hyperspace leaving the shuttle and its occupants behind.
"There they go," observed Capt. Falcon. D.K. nodded.
"Did you get the coordinates?" asked Ness.
"It'll take a moment to be sure. So, what happens when we find that thing again?" asked D.K.
"I say we fly in lasers blazing and take that thing down. After all, the bigger they are, the harder the fall," said Capt. Falcon. D.K. activated a console showing the statistics for a Super Star Destroyer and pointed it out to Capt. Falcon. He read it and the color drained from his face turning him pale white.
"On second thought, that's a bad idea," he said sitting down in a chair. Everyone sat around in a funk as they thought about what to do. Lupus was glancing around the cockpit when he noticed a poster. It read Mr. Game & Watch wants you, but it didn't have an image on depicting Mr. Game & Watch in the same position as Colonel Sanders. Instead there was a small subscript where the image should've been saying: Mr. Game & Watch is pointing at you, it's just that he's 2-D so you can't see him from the front, only the sides. Lupus wondered what that was doing in this ship when it occurred to him that they were on a captured enemy shuttle.
"I've got it. Look, we're on an enemy shuttle. Once we approach the SSD, we make it seem like we're from the planet. We then ask for clearance to board, we get it, we board it, and we take over," said Lupus.
"It's stupid, but it's not like we have any other course of action," said D.K. Capt. Falcon patted Lupus' back with a big grin on his mouth.
"Excellent Lupus. I've been itching for some action. Better to go out guns blazing then to sit and be captured in order to rot," he said. As if to emphasize the point, he pulled out two massive blaster rifles and flicked off the safeties. Then the navicomputer pinged.
"Excellent, we have the coordinates. Let's go. Luckily our hyperdrive is faster than that thing's so we'll arrive at the same time. Prepare for hyperspace," said D.K. He pulled back on the lever and the ship leapt into hyperspace leaving Hyrule behind. Behind them, a pack of ships filled with the Predators descended on Hyrule, the hunt was about to begin.
The Kilobyte: Dash, Kirby, and Yoshi hid in an alcove as a sharpclaw squad marched by.
"That was close," said Dash leaning back into the darkened alcove. Yoshi nodded his head.
"Yeah it was. But what's going on outside? Are we still attacking Hyrule? And what did my virus do?" asked Yoshi. Dash nodded.
"Yeah. We need to get a good look outside before we take any further courses of action," said Dash. Yoshi nodded. They walked to a door and Dash knocked on it. When no response came, Dash pulled out his blaster to storm the room. Behind him, Kirby coolly pulled out a .45 Automatic and snapped in a new clip. He then took off his hat and swallowed it for safekeeping.
"Let's go," he said calmly. Dash then slammed the door open with his blaster drawn. Kirby leapt out in front of him with his piece calmly drawn.
"Freeze uglies!" he shouted. The yell was unnecessary because the room was deserted and there was no evidence that anyone had ever been in there.
"In," said Dash simply. They entered the room and Dash sealed the door. Then Kirby screamed.
"What? What is it?" asked Dash pulling out his gun.
"They have a bar!" shouted Kirby. Dash flipped on the lights and the room came into focus. It looked like any hotel room with two beds, windows, and a bar. Kirby ran straight for it and due to his short height, disappeared behind the counter. He then popped up on a stool with an apron on, a plastic visor, and a cigar in his mouth. He pulled out a bottle and poured himself a glass. He briefly swirled it then downed it in a single gulp. He then chucked the glass aside and began drinking straight from the bottle. He then quickly emptied it and reached for another one when Dash took it from him and sealed the cabinet.
"No more for you! If we get in a fight, I want you sober and not drunk," said Dash.
"Awww nuts," said Kirby leaving the bar and heading for a bed. Yoshi was looking through the window that showed the rear of the ship and the blue hyperspace wormhole.
"What's that?" asked Yoshi. Dash looked out.
"It's a hyperspace wormhole. Apparently your virus must have done something to make ol' G & W run for cover. I wonder where we're going," said Dash.
"No, that!" said Yoshi. He pointed to some gray splotches along the hull. Dash pulled out his binoculars and trained them on the subjects.
"I'll be damned," said Dash.
"Vat?" asked Kirby already having half swallowed one of the two queen sized beds. Dash turned around to talk to him and saw what he was doing.
"What they hell? You can't steal the beds!" shouted Dash.
"Vy knot?" asked Kirby's muffled response.
"It's unheard of. The towels, soap, and shampoo yes, but the beds, never," said Dash.
"Dave Lister onboard the JMC mining vessel Red Dwarf stole some, why can't I?" asked Kirby. Dash held his hand up to his head and groaned.
"All right, but you only get one bed, you're not taking both of them," said Dash.
"Fine," said Kirby. He continued swallowing the bed and promptly began swallowing the lamp, nightstand, and entertainment center. Dash just decided not to fight it and kept quiet.
"What's out there?" asked Yoshi.
"My ship, along with two Arwings. Leebo must have latched onto the ship before it blasted into hyperspace. C'mon, we've got to find him," said Dash taking off into the corridor followed by Kirby and Yoshi. Kirby then quickly returned to the room and swallowed all the wine bottles for future consumption before heading out again.
Bowels of The Kilobyte: Leebo, Mario, Mewtwo, and BlackWargreymon were looking at the crater left by the Ford LTD when it crashed from above.
"Ten to one says this is Kirby's handiwork. Any takers?" asked Leebo. The group just shook their heads.
"Nuts. Well there's no blood so I assume that they survived. But where did they go?" asked Leebo looking around.
"They probably went to that level hanging from the ceiling above us," observed Mewtwo. The group looked up and saw a level hanging from the ceiling.
"That must be the entrance to the command tower," said Leebo. Mewtwo and BlackWargreymon zoomed towards it while Leebo and Mario took out two grappling guns and fired the pitons at the ceiling. They hit and then they pulled themselves up. Once through the doorway, Leebo pulled out two blasters while Mario observed some skid marks on the ceiling.
"Yeah it had to have been Kirby. He's the only person I know who would drive a car on the ceiling," said Mario. Leebo entered into the doorway and proceeded down the hallways accompanied by the rest of them.
"Stay alert, we might run into trouble at anytime," said Leebo. Meanwhile Dash and Co., were walking down various corridors and hiding from the occasional squads.
"I still wish I knew where we're going," said Dash.
"As do I," said Yoshi.
"I'm telling you folks, let me hack the system," said Kirby waddling next to them.
"No way puffball, not gonna happen. I don't trust your computer skills. Many have tried to hack into an SSD's computer and just about all have failed," said Dash.
"Well I could be the first to succeed," Kirby replied.
"No. Besides, our mission is to get off this thing, not stop it. Game & Watch has left Hyrule, our mission is complete and I'm going to see that we're returned to our respective universes," said Dash.
"But I need your help to stop him," said Yoshi.
"Sorry Yosh, but I only agreed to stop Game & Watch from conquering Hyrule and I've done that. No it's time that I went home. I don't work for free, never have. Only circumstances determine how I help someone and now that is done for. It's time I went home," said Dash. Yoshi looked disappointed but knew that you couldn't stop someone once their mind was made up.
"What about you Kirby?" asked Yoshi. Kirby sighed.
"Sorry. I'd like to help, but I'm a swindler, conman, and thief. It isn't in my nature for people like me to do good deeds, I'm sorry. Only if something monumentally disastrous occurs, then I would help you. It's time I get back home to Dreamland where all I have to do is fight King Dedede and the occasional monster," said Kirby. Yoshi nodded.
"Fine. I'll just have to meet up with fellow TRON agents somehow and we'll all have to take on Game & Watch. Many of us will die, but he must be stopped before he destroys the gaming world as we know it," said Yoshi. They walked along in silence until Dash's comm. link crackled to life.
"Master," came the crackled response. Dash clutched at his intercom and flipped it on.
"Leebo is that you? Where the hell are you?" asked Dash.
"We're on the bottom floor of the command tower looking for you," said Leebo.
"Okay stay tight. We'll come to you. Watch out, it's possible that they've tapped this channel," said Dash running off.
Bridge: Mr. Game & Watch was watching the endless tunnel of hyperspace as the ship continued blazing forward. Then Bowser approached him.
"What is it?" asked Mr. Game & Watch.
"We've tapped a comm. transmission and have discovered that Dash and Co., are joining Leebo down on the lower decks. We've also determined that the Outrider and two Arwings are clamped onto the back of the ship and that before we leapt into hyperspace, our navicomputer was hacked to determine our destination. In the order of security, I demand a group of sharpclaws and I want to track them down and arrest them," said Bowser. Mr. Game & Watch sighed.
"Fine go," he said waving his hand. Bowser nodded and left while Mr. Game & Watch continued watching the blue tunnel.
"Sir, fifteen minutes to hyperspace exit," said the deck officer. Mr. Game & Watch brought his hands together in front of his face.
"Excellent," he said. A rift opened and an old man walked through.
"Most excellent," said C. Montgomery Burns before walking back through the rift. Mr. Game & Watch nodded.
"Most excellent indeed," he said.
12 minutes later, Dash and Co., managed to meet up with Leebo and friends.
"Alright let's get the hell out of here," said Dash.
"Not so fast human!" shouted Bowser. The sharpclaws and Bowser appeared from behind a corner and began firing on the group who returned fire.
"Quick, in here," said Mewtwo pushing a door open with his psychic powers. The group entered into a massive library with a massive window showing the front of the ship and its blazing through hyperspace.
"Quick, hide," said Mewtwo. The group ran off behind various desks and shelves as the door began being pounded on by Bowser and company. They all crouched down as the door exploded flinging itself inward and skidding along the floor.
"Open fire!" shouted Bowser. The group opened fire as Dash and his group returned fire. However one bolt hit the glass and the whole group tensed as the feared the glass would shatter. Thankfully it held.
"Mr. Rendar, I pose a temporary truce until we can leave this room because I do not wish to asphyxiated," said Bowser.
"I agree," said Dash. The group all lowered their weapons and walked out into the center of the room just as The Kilobyte exited hyperspace. The group looked out the window at what lay out before them.
"What the hell?" asked Dash.
Outside: "Looks like we've exited hyperspace, power up Falco let's rock and roll," said Fox blasting off.
"Right with you Fox," said Falco. The spun up and zoomed past the command tower and looked at the view in front of them.
"What the hell?" they both asked.
Bridge: "What the hell?" asked Ganandorf. Mr. Game & Watch shrugged.
"Not what I expected, but it'll do," he said. In front of the ship lay a massive black hole.
Behind them: The shuttle exited hyperspace and looked at the sight in front of them.
"What the hell?" Capt. Falcon asked.
"Don't use such language," said Ness.
Library: "He's mad!" shouted Bowser leaving the room with his squad.
"A black hole? Has he finally decided he can't win and given up?" asked Dash incredulously.
"It does seem strange," admitted BlackWargremon. Then a beeping was heard from Yoshi. Everyone looked at Yoshi who pulled out a palm pilot.
"Oh my user! It isn't possible," said Yoshi.
"What?" everyone demanded.
"That's not a black hole, it's a link," said Yoshi.
"To what?" Kirby. Yoshi looked up at them wide eyed.
"I've got to get to the bridge and confront Game & Watch," he said running off. Everyone looked at each other like he was crazy and took off after him.
The Bridge: "Prepare for entry into the center of it," said Mr. Game & Watch. Everyone looked at him like he was mad.
"We can't enter into a black hole, we'll be crushed!" someone yelled.
"No we won't! Now enter it or I'll have you thrown out," said Mr. Game & Watch. Bowser entered the bridge.
"Not a chance! I won't have you kill us for your own enjoyment," he said. Mr. Game & Watch sighed.
"Are you all idiots? It's not a black hole, it's a gateway," said Mr. Game & Watch.
"To what?" Ganandorf asked. Mr. Game & Watch sighed just as Yoshi entered the room.
"He knows, ask him," said Mr. Game & Watch pointing to Yoshi. Everyone looked at Yoshi, even Dash and crew who entered as well. Yoshi merely trembled.
"It's a gateway, to something so legendary even I didn't believe that it existed," he said finally.
"What is it a gateway to?" everyone demanded. Yoshi trembled even more then before.
"The internet!" screamed Yoshi. Everyone looked at him even more confused.
"The internet? What's that?" asked Ness over the intercom having hacked into it.
"The greatest source of power, wealth, knowledge, and destructive power has ever known. It was made by the users to be the most powerful device in the universe to contain data. Inside it is everything you could hope for and more! It was also a legend or so I believed until now. Mr. Game & Watch, what are you going to do? The internet can't handle something as large as this ship! So what then?" demanded Yoshi. Mr. Game & Watch began laughing maniacally.
"I'm going to ram this thing straight down the internet's throat! It'll overload and short out every terminal accessing it. I'll take over and when I've amassed enough power, I'll either destroy or conquer every bit of data out there until I rule cyberspace!" shouted Mr. Game & Watch.
"We've got to get off this ship!" shouted Bowser. Everyone ran towards the exit.
"Run you fools! It doesn't matter anymore! Once in the internet I'll reformat this ship and I'll be unstoppable! You can't stop me, no one can!" shouted Mr. Game & Watch.
"Quick, we've got to evacuate," said Dash. The team ran off as The Kilobyte moved towards the black hole. Then two Arwings swooped down firing on the bridge.
"Not even your weaponry can punch through a SSD's shields," said Mr. Game & Watch to himself. Nevertheless, Fox and Falco continued firing on the ship. Down in the bowels, the whole group ran towards the ships located down there.
"I've got to get to the Outrider!" shouted Leebo through the chaos as ships all around them took off for the outside.
"You'll never get there in time!" said Dash.
"We can't leave it," said Leebo.
"Hold on, I'm a man with a plan," said Kirby. He opened his mouth towards the front of the ship and began sucking in air as fast he could. Several piece of debris and paper rolled their way, but a black Lamborghini emerged from the cloaked area and rumbled towards them. Kirby stopped sucking and hopped in.
"Let's rock and roll," he said to Leebo. Leebo got in and Kirby gunned it taking off for the rear of the ship.
"All the ships are gone and we're stuck here," said Bowser along with Ganandorf.
"Yeah and I doubt Leebo will get here in time," said Mewtwo. Then a rumbling was heard and a familiar looking shuttle flew up and in. It landed and the ramp disengaged.
"Get in!" shouted Link running out and running back in. Everyone ran for the shuttle. Then a squeal was heard and everyone saw the Lamborghini rocketing towards them. Kirby leapt free and the car continued its forward momentum and dropped out the bottom of the ship. It's freefall got it sucked through the black hole and into the internet. Kirby then caught up with Yoshi and Dash.
"We've only got room for one more!" shouted D.K.
"Go Yoshi! You're the only one who knows about the internet. I've decided to stay anyways. I'll do what I can to sabotage this ship," said Dash.
"What about me? I'm not staying here! If this internet is as great as you say it is, then I've got to rob it!" shouted Kirby. He ran for the shuttle, but Yoshi slapped his tongue on him and turned him into an egg.
"No!" came a muffled yell from inside the egg.
"Go!" shouted Dash. Yoshi ran into the shuttle as it closed its ramp and left the SSD. Kirby broke free of the egg and watched it fly off.
"NOOOOOO!" he shouted. Then it was gone. The shuttle exited the ship and joined up with the Outrider and two Arwings.
"C'mon, follow me into the black hole now. Don't ask, just do it!" shouted Yoshi over the comm. It plunged into the black hole with the three other ships and then was followed by The Kilobyte who forcibly smashed its way through the internet and behind it, the black hole exploded and everywhere around the world, the internet suddenly inexplicably crashed.
