Chapter Eleven: Captain Falcon and the Rooms
Samus and Fox chased the evil man named Captain Falcon. Well, he really wasn't evil. He was corrupted. Master Hand was the one to blame. Right now, though, they focused more on trying to get Kirby back and defeating Captain Falcon.
He led them to a door marked 'Entry Room' and entered, hitting Kirby as he closed the door. When Samus and Fox reached the door, they rushed into the door, knocking it down. It was dark in the room, but not as dark as the dark room. They walked farther into the room. Then, someone turned on the lights.
In front of them was two doors. One was labeled 'Platforms,' the other was named 'Targets.' Above the doors was another sign saying 'Chose A Door, But Only One May Enter Each Door.'
"So, which one are you going to take?" asked Fox. Samus thought a moment.
"You good at Targets?" she replied.
"Yes."
"Good, take that door. I'll get Platforms." With this, they enter the rooms.
Fox wasn't sure what happen, except that he was struck in the head when he first entered. It was a bull's eye, he thought. Fox got up and careful looked around this time. He was on a platform that had detached from the door as he entered. He was about five hundred yards away from the door now. Too far for him to jump, jump, and then Fire Fox. Too far. Suddenly, another target came out of nowhere and struck him at his ankles. Fox did a double flip and landed hard on his stomach.
"Urrrr!" he muttered, trying to get up. Another target came out of nowhere and struck him hard in the side. Fox rolled over and off the platform. He grabbed hold to one of the detacher probes. Fox then looked down. Thousands, maybe millions, of targets were flying around the base of the room.
"I'm good, but not this good," he muttered, swinging himself back onto the platform. He then looked up. On the roof was even more of the targets. Except there was only ten, and there was a stack of platforms leading up to them. Lucky.
Fox jumped up, jumped again, and then did Fire Fox up to the first platform. He did that again and again, until he was at the top. Some of the other targets were flying around him, but these were different at the top. They were bigger and where red and white, not black and white like the others. He aimed at the first target and shot it. When it hit, it broke into a million smaller targets. They then started to fly around Fox. These where blue and white, but much, much smaller. some of them struck out at him, exploding. This made him start to bleed in some places. He then shot eight more targets. The mini-targets blocked his view of hitting the last target. He had to wait, but the mini-targets kept striking him. Shoot one of the mini-targets? Would it work? He'd try it anyway. He aimed and fired. The explosion from the little target combined with millions of others, literally blew Fox apart. He was launched of and out into the open space. Luckily it was over the platforms. He came down hard on the second to last platform.
He didn't know how long he was asleep, but when he woke up, it was to a surprise. The last target wasn't there, but he was still in the big room with targets flying around. Maybe the laser had gone right through the explosion and hit the big target. then where were the little blue-white targets? Where? He stood up to get a good look, but fell because of his numb leg. It was drenched in blood. So was the rest of his body. He really did take a lot of damage from that explosion. He stood up again, steadying himself, and looked over the edge. It was a good thing, too. The big target had moved under his platform.
Fox jumped down to the bottom platform as the target crashed through the platform. He then managed to pull out his gun and fired. The target turned into millions of the mini-targets and shot down at Fox. Fox shot one of the targets.
This time, the explosion didn't hurt him, but he was knocked off the platform by the force of it. He was falling down to the other torturous targets. He then went into a sleep beyond normal recognition.
Fox awoke on a platform on the other side of the room. His wounds were cleaned up and he had on new clothes. He opened the door.
Samus looked into the room and saw that she stepped into something easy.
"Darn it!" she yelled. 'I wanted a challenge.'
She looked at the ten platforms moving here and there, nothing on them. The tenth platform moved in front of a small platform attached to a door.
'Bingo.'
Samus jumped to the first platform with ease, and then the second. The third was high up, so she was barely able to get aboard it. She then saw the next platform.
'Well, well, well,' she thought. It was on fire.
"My suit can protect me from that," she laughed and jumped to it. Suddenly, the fire shot off and revealed the ice that was there. Samus landed on it and slid onto her back. She was then sliding across it.
'Shoot!' she cried, shooting a blast of energy at the platform. A chunk off ice came off, showing the actual platform. Samus passed it and shot her laser chain at it. She hooked it, stopping five inches from the edge.
She slowly got up, steadying herself. She carefully jumped to the next platform.
She grabbed the edge and pulled herself up.
She saw what she thought was Mario.
"Mario?" she asked, knowing he wasn't him.
"You wish," he said, jumping up and strait and Samus. She ducked down and rolled out of the way. Mario hit the platform and jumped backwards, extending his leg. He hit Samus, nearly falling of the platform.
"Watch your step," called the evil man, jumping at Samus. She just smiled in her suit. As Mario was about to hit her, when she let go of the edge and grabbed Mario with the laser chain. She then pulled him under her and kicked him down. She then did her screw attack to reached the platform.
"That wasn't so bad," she said, catching her breath.
"Not as bad as me," called a voice from the next platform. Samus smiled and jumped to it.
It was Link this time.
"Come and get me," he said, jumping away from the platform to the next. Samus was about to jump, when a sharp pain went up her leg. She couldn't move. Link started laughing at her.
Samus looked at her leg and saw several spikes around her and one in her leg.
After about a minute, it slowly slid out. Feeling the pain lessen, she jumped to the next platform. Link, once again, jumped to the next platform. From the one she was on, several Purple Men jumped out and attacked her. They were weak and easily knocked out of the way. She jumped towards Link again. This time, he stayed.
"Hiyah!" he yelled, slashing at Samus. She just jumped over him and shot out fire at him. Then, she landed and did a legsweep. Link jumped over her leg and kicked back. She flew to the other end of the platform.
She looked up to see what Link was doing. He pulled out his boomerang, and he threw it. It went straight for Samus, but somehow, she caught it.
"What?" cried Link, backing up in surprise. Samus smiled. She charged Link and threw the boomerang as hard as she could at him. the Hyrulian tried to avoid the attack, but it wasn't effective. The boomerang was embedded into his skull, killing him. Samus pulled the boomerang from Link's head and kicked the lifeless body into the void.
"Come and get me," said a voice. Samus loked up at the next platform and jumped to it.
There, she saw several copies of Captain Falcon.
"Well, I like this," she said, brandishing the boomerang. The clones didn't fear anything, but they sure did feel pain.
Two of them jumped at her, but she just knocked them off the stage.
Eight left.
Two more went to attack, but she sliced them with the boomerang.
Six left.
They watched her carefully, but she just laughed at them.
"Fine, I'll come to you." She jumped up and threw the boomerang at the nearest clone, who dropped dead on impact.
Five left.
She then charged up and shot at one fo the others. He jumped out of the way, but only to be caught with the laser chain. Samus threw him off the platform.
Four left.
"Come on, you useless pieces of genetic material," she yelled shooting fire at the nearest clone. He caught on fire and ran of the stage.
Three left.
Those last three were smarter than the others, because while she was setting fire to the clone, they charged up a move that was heading right for her. She jumped out of the way and over to the clone with her new boomerang. Two of the clones hit eachother and knocked eachother out.
Samus grabbed her boomerang and threw it at the last one. He took it in the shoulder and charged right at her. She grabbed the boomerang, fell back, and sent the clone off the platform.
Two left.
She walked over to the two that knocked eachother out. She slit one's throat.
One left
He tried to get up, but Samus kicked him up and sent the weapong through his chest.
All were dead.
"Where are you?" called Samus, looking for the owner of the voice.
"Up here, you ninny," said the voice in reply. Samus smiled and jumped to the next platform. She then looked at her next opponent.
She was facing herself.
"Hello, Me," said the black copy. "Ready to rumble?"
"The real question is, are you ready to die?" replied the real Samus, and that started the fight. Samus never knew that herself was the most worthy opponent. At least, that's how it felt right then.
Samus jumped up and over Black Samus and shot a blast of energy. Black jumped up and kicked back. Samus ducked under and grabbed the leg and tossed Black over.
"You got some good moves, girl," said the copy, landing on her feet. she started to charge her weapon. Samus realized something and smiled.
"Yeah, well take this." Samus jumped up and curled up into a ball. From there, she produced a bomb. It hit the fake and she blew up.
"Hey, your not suppose to be able to do that!"
"Why not? I learned a few new tricks while in the predetermined battles. Never forget what you were able to do. Like this." Samus put up a laser shield as the fake tried to hit her.
"How is that possible. We took the powers away from all of you."
"My suit learns to cope with these new advances. That's why you took them off when you tried to take the power away. My suit allows me to do what you thought I couldn't do."
"What do you mean?"
"Your master tried to take the power away from me, but he tried to take it away from my physical body. He should have done it to my suit. By the way, good bye!" said Samus, before blasting the fake away. The fake one fell into the abyss, screaming like a girl.
"That was fun, but I don't want to do that again," she whispered to herself, before jumping to the small platform and going through the door.
She found fox waiting for her.
"What tooke you?" he asked, snickering. Samus cursed him under her breath.
"Just a few thumbnails I had to trim." Samus walked around the platform. It was like a glass elevator, and it was heading down.
"Where are we headed?" asked Fox, looking out of the glass.
"Heck, for all I care," she sneered, hitting the metal floor, denting it.
"Okay," Fox said, looking at Samus questionably. The platform stopped, and a door formed and opened in front of them.
As they looked out, a Purple Man walked up to them.
"Well, it seems we have some visitors," he said. Samus started charging up her blaster and Fox pulled out his gun.
"Oh, no need for that, all you have to do is run. And run fast." Suddenly the Purple Man disappeared and reappeared behind Fox and Samus. He knocked both of them forward.
"Now get going, because you only got thirty seconds."
Samus and Fox ran. They reached a ledge and jumped down. The first Purple Man was chasing them.
"Watch out for the bomb!" cried Fox, jumping up. Samus, who had turned to look, triped over a barrel coming at her. It exploded, sending her forward into the maching making the bombs. She bounced back and was caught by Fox.
"Hurry," he said, jumping over a wall to the next floor. Samus followed suit.
There, they met another Purple Man, but they just knocked him aside and reached the next ledge. They jumped down and saw the many, floating bumpers.
"Watch your head," said Samus this time, turning into a ball and rolling under the bumpers. Fox gulped and jumped-ducked the bumpers. He made it without a scratch and they jumped down to the next level. there, another Purple Man tried to stop them, but they blasted him out of the way. They reached a set of doors.
"You've managed to make it this far," said Captain falcon's voice from inside.
"Finally," said Samus, pushing against the double doors. They entered.
"Welcome, Fox and Samus," said the evil man, standing on the remains of the Great Fox. It was actual size now, but it wouldn't be too hard to reach the place Captain Falcon was.
"Ready?" asked Samus.
"Ready as rain," answered Fox. They started to climb the ship.
As Samus and Fox reached the top, they saw Captain Falcon and Kirby more clearly. Captain Falcon was smiling.
"Catch!" He yelled.
He dropped Kirby over the side of Great Fox. Samus made a lounge for him, but missed, falling with him. Fox looked down in horror as the two fell. Great Fox stood more than a hundred stories. Not even the balloon could survive that unless he really was a balloon. Fox then looked up at Captain Falcon.
"I like heroes. They always try to save someone, even though they won't survive it themselves. Like that fool Samus. Come and get me," with that, he jumped back, as Fox tried to hurt him. Fox made one mistake. He had tried to do Fire Fox. He wasn't able to do that anymore. Not without Master Hand's magic. Fox barely grabbed the top of Great Fox, pulling himself up.
"Let's fight," said Captain Falcon, punching Fox down. He got up, but was punched again. Captain Falcon then went into a brigade of punches. Fox wasn't able to attack. He thought he'd have his powers when he fought Captain Falcon. Wait a minute! He was able to do it when he did Targets! Why not now? Darn it!
Captain Falcon was having fun. This was easy to him. At least, until he felt the pain. He was knocked over by an energy ball shot out by Samus.
"Samus?" asked Fox, trying to get up.
"Yes, Kirby woke up when we almost hit the ground and carried me down. Lucky, huh?" said Samus, looking down at Kirby. He had gone back to sleep, snoring loudly.
"Now, let me at that roach," said the feisty female, walking over to Captain Falcon. He was lying down on the ground, in pain. Samus powered up her attack and fired. Captain Falcon jumped up and out of the way.
"Playing possum won't save you now!" cried Samus, throwing out her laser whip, grabbing Captain Falcon. With all her strength, she threw him back and out past the Great Fox. Samus smiled her smile inside her suit. He was just as soon as gone.
Kirby woke up and jumped into the path of the flying Captain Falcon. He used swallow to steal Captain Falcon's power. The evil man was gone. Kirby ate him. He just smiled, putting on Captain Falcon's helmet.
-Prepare to fight, Samus, Fox!- cried the little fake.
"What the?" gasped Fox, who bolted from his spot near Kirby.
-Captain Falcon switched the real Kirby with me, a Super Clone. I'm not the only one, too. The Purple Men, which we call Polygon Men, are clones. The Blue Men you saw, Fox, were also Super Clones. We didn't have the original people to make regular Super Clones, but your memories proved promising. Then, there's the Samus clone, Mario clone, Link clone, DK clone, Yoshi clone, Pikachu clone, your clone, and me, the Kirby Clone. Then, we have clones of the Corrupted Ones, which we call the Secret Characters. That Captain Falcon was the clone. He was the only one, though. The other three Secret Characters have a single clone, too, which you will have to beat to rescue the true people. For right now, you have to beat me to save Captain Falcon, but I have his secret power. Mind you watch out for it. Now, enough talk, let's fight!- Kirby finished his speech and ran towards Fox. Samus stepped in the way and grabbed the short balloon.
"Now listen here you little punk!" screamed Samus in Kirby's face. "If you don't release Captain Falcon and the others now, I will shove my gun down your throat and fire a blast so powerful that they wouldn't find your pieces with a microscope!"
Kirby's color went to a shade of blue never seen before.
-Okay, just let me go!- said Kirby, losing Captain Falcon's power. -I can only unlock Captain Falcon, though!-
"I guess that'll do, as long as we save the others." Samus put Kirby down on the ground and waited. "Well?"
"Okay, Falcon release," he muttered, giving Samus the squinty eyes. From above, a cage fell and crashed down onto the Great Fox. Inside was an exact copy of the earlier Captain Falcon, except this one was the real deal. They had unlocked the first Secret Character
Samus and Fox chased the evil man named Captain Falcon. Well, he really wasn't evil. He was corrupted. Master Hand was the one to blame. Right now, though, they focused more on trying to get Kirby back and defeating Captain Falcon.
He led them to a door marked 'Entry Room' and entered, hitting Kirby as he closed the door. When Samus and Fox reached the door, they rushed into the door, knocking it down. It was dark in the room, but not as dark as the dark room. They walked farther into the room. Then, someone turned on the lights.

"You good at Targets?" she replied.
"Yes."
"Good, take that door. I'll get Platforms." With this, they enter the rooms.
Fox wasn't sure what happen, except that he was struck in the head when he first entered. It was a bull's eye, he thought. Fox got up and careful looked around this time. He was on a platform that had detached from the door as he entered. He was about five hundred yards away from the door now. Too far for him to jump, jump, and then Fire Fox. Too far.
