"Hold on to something!" Fox yells out.
Everyone attempts to hold on to an object to stay in one place, as the Great Fox transports through a rather turbulant green vortex. Soon enough, they stop. Everyone looks up. Everything is dark. "Can someone turn on a light?" Samus asks.
"No good. All the power shut down." Peppy says.
"Here, I have a flashlight." Slippy says, turning it on.
Mr. Game & Watch then warps himself into a light bulb to further illuminate. "That was a fun ride." Falco says, sarcastically.
"So Bowser blasted us with a transporter blast?" Kirby asks.
"Sure seems that way." Link replies.
"I feel a bit sorry for Bowser. Taking a direct hit from our blasters and plummeting into the acid." Marth says.
"Oh, he'll be back. Bowser doesn't goa down that fast, or without a fight." Mario says.
"I know what you mean. So, why would he transport us here?" Peach says.
"Come look at this." Roy says.
A few smashers approach Roy, who is looking out one of the windows. Outside is a floating structure made up of 3 small platforms and 1 large one. "Well I'll be." Link says.
"That'sa the Battlefield! We hada many battles there during Master Hand's tournament." Mario says.
"I think he wants us to participate in another one." Fox says.
Just then, some commotion is heard nearby. Everyone turns around. A male Wireframe appears through the entrance to the area. It attempts to attack the warriors, but Samus makes short work of it. "Wireframes. The Battlefield isa their home turf." Mario says.
"There's some out there now! And they're boarding the Great Fox!" Peach says.
"The ship is probably infested with them now." Falco says.
"Falco. Peppy. Slippy. Let's cruise the ship and get rid of these pests." Fox says.
"Take Mr. Game & Watch. He can give you more light." Samus says.
"The rest of us willa head to the Battlefield to keep more from coming onboard." Mario says.
"Sounds like a plan. Take the emergency hatch right above us to get out there fast." Fox says.
On that note, G&W and the Starfox team leave the cockpit area. Mario reaches up and opens the hatch. The group heads up, now on top of the Great Fox's cockpit area. "Look! A bunch of Wireframes are up here with us." Roy says.
Sure enough, further down the ship, several Wireframes are sulking around, getting ready to get inside the ship. More are appearing on the far side, as opposed to the ones appearing at the Battlefield. "Let's split up. Roy and I can take care of the ones up here." Marth says.
"I'll join you. Everyone else head to the Battlefield and take out some Wireframes." Samus says.
Everyone else nods, and they head to their posts.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here's where everyone is:
Inside the Great Fox: Fox, Falco, Peppy, Slippy, and Mr. Game & Watch
On top of the Great Fox: Marth, Roy, Samus
Battlefield: Mario, Peach, Link, Kirby)
Back inside the Great Fox, Fox, Falco, and Peppy patrol the many areas of the Great Fox, blasting away at the Wireframes. Mr. Game & Watch bounces around as a light bulb. Slippy holds a flashlight and his blaster. "Fox. I'm gonna go on ahead and search for the power grid." Slippy says.
"Good idea. Go for it, and we'll cover you." Fox says.
Slippy heads forward. Falco blasts away at a female Wireframe. "Man, we should be keeping score." He says.
"Dude, I'd murder you at blaster scores." Fox replies.
"I'd beat both of you youngins with one hand tied behind my back!" Peppy says.
They get in a good laugh as they take out more Wireframes. Fox approaches the door to the next area and opens it. They're now in a large cargo hold. Rather large crates litter, creating almost what looks like a maze of boxes. "Stay sharp. There are a lot of them hiding here." Fox warns.
The three scan the room. "Man, if only you could give us more light, Game & Watch." Falco says.
Mr. Game & Watch beeps a few low tones in annoyance. The group enters the middle of the box maze. Falco veers to the right a bit, ready to blast what ever moves. He sees nothing. Just then, a Wireframe jumps on him and takes him to the ground. Fox sees it, and begins blasting it. The Wireframe loses its focus on Falco. Falco hops back up to his feet and flings the Wireframe off his back, straight into a metal crate. "They are tricky." Peppy says.
"Especially in this room." Fox says.
At that point, all the lights come on. Several Wireframes, who were not seen, become quite surprised and run into hiding. "Alright! Slippy got the lights back on!" Falco says.
"Time to kick some Wireframe tail." Fox says.
Back over on the Battlefield, Mario and company continue fighting the Wireframes. Peach, Kirby, and Link are each on the higher smaller platforms, taking out ones that come falling from the sky. Mario awaits below for leftovers. One female Wireframe comes gliding down towards Link and attacks him, but Link blocks it with his shield, and sends it flying with an overhead slash. Peach catches another one with her Parasol. "Come on. You guys aren't any harder then whena we took you out at Corneria!" Mario yells out.
At that point, the Wireframes stop coming. Kirby looks around. "Are they scared now?" He says.
Peach looks up and sees none falling. But she does see two figures rocketing downward. She jumps away, as the two slam hard onto the top platform. The impact shakes the entire Battlefield. The two stand up. "Huh? Metal Mario?" Kirby asks.
"He was one of Master Hand's minions in the last tournament. And now there's two of him?" Link says.
"No... one of them looks like Luigi." Peach says.
"He created a metal copy of my brother?" Mario says.
The Metal Brothers simply chuckle, then jump off the top platform towards Kirby and Link. Kirby turns into a stone and attempts to slam down on Metal Luigi, but to no avail. Link shields himself from Metal Mario's flying kick, but almost gets knocked off the small platform doing so. Metal Mario jumps back down at him, but Link responds with a sword slash. Metal Mario is hit, but barely moves anywhere. Mario comes from behind him and throws him to the ground. Metal Mario jumps upward with Mario's own super jump punch, hitting Mario on target. Mario flies up to the top small platform. Link uses his hookshot to pull Metal Mario to him, and wails on him with his sword. Peach looks behind her and sees Kirby's trouble with Metal Luigi. She approaches Metal Luigi from behind and whacks him with her golf club. Metal Luigi barely moves, due to his great weight. He hits Kirby away and turns around toward Peach. He attacks her, and Peach materializes Toad, who blocks the punch and blasts him with some magic energy. With him stunned for a moment, Peach charges forward with a bomber, nailing him and making a large explosion. Back on the other side of the platform, Metal Mario breaks Link's hold. Link pulls out one of his bombs and gets ready to throw it, but Metal Mario whips out a cape and knocks Link backward. He then attacks, and Link goes off the edge. Link discharges his hookshot and nabs the ledge. He then quickly gets rid of his bomb, but it explodes a few feet from him, knocking him unconscious. Mario, atop the top small platform, witnessed the whole incident. Metal Mario laughs and heads up toward Mario. Just below Mario, Peach and Kirby struggle with Metal Luigi. Metal Luigi knocks Peach away from him, and then grabs Kirby. Just when he's about to wail away on him, he's hit from behind with a large blast. He lets go of Kirby, who retreats away. Over on the top of the Starfox's cockpit is Samus, who fired the blast. Metal Mario ceases action and looks over at Samus. Just the opening Mario needed. He jumps down and knocks Metal Mario to the ground. Samus motions behind her, then jumps over to the Battlefield. Marth, Roy, Fox, Falco, and G&W follow her. The Metal Brothers get up and see 6 coming for them. "Looks like we're just in time for some fun." Roy says.
"What about Peppy and Slippy?" Peach asks.
"Slippy got the power back, and he and Peppy volunteered to finish off the Wireframes on the ship, and told us to head back out with you guys." Fox explains.
"We helped Samus, Marth, and Roy on the top briefly." Falco says.
The Metal Brothers get positioned to attack. "Bring it on!" Marth says.
The Metal Brothers charge Marth, who prompty attacks with his sword. The two are barely phased, and they grab Marth's sword and fling him behind them. Roy nails the two with his flare blade, sending them reeling. Fox and Falco capitalize and go for an aerial attack. "Samus!" Mario calls out. Samus looks over to him. "I needa your help. Link's in trouble."
Samus heads over to him, as Peach and Kirby rejoin the battle. They look over the edge to see Link just regaining consciousness. "Wretched... metal... SOB..." Link says.
"Link! Retract your hookshot!" Mario says.
Link does so, and heads upward to where the hookshot is hooked into the platform. Samus then discharges her grappler beam and nabs Link, pulling him back to them. "Thanks a lot." Link says.
"You're welcome. Now lets rejoin the battle. The others could use some help." Samus says.
Sure enough, the Metal Brothers are holding their own against 7 warriors. They spin around in tornado attacks, propelling everyone away, and leaving them alone on the high small platform. They stare down and Link and Samus and chuckle, ready to pounce down on them. When suddenly, a large blast comes out of nowhere, hitting Metal Luigi. Metal Luigi goes speeding like a rocket far away from the Battlefield before plummeting into oblivion. The smashers and Metal Mario look over. Peppy and Slippy are in the cockpit of the Great Fox! They had fired a blast from it. "Hey, alright!" Roy says.
Metal Mario is obviously scared. Slippy waves his hand to signal "Bye," and the Great Fox fires again, hitting Metal Mario, and sending him to the same fate as Metal Luigi. Fox and Falco signal a thumbs-up to Peppy and Slippy, who do the same. Just then, an explosion rocks near the middle of the Great Fox. A large ball of dark fire zooms out. Peppy and Slippy turn around, and are hit by it. "NO! Peppy and Slippy!" Fox says, horrified.
"What's happening to the Great Fox?" Falco asks.
The fire de-spells, and the whole ship is then surrounded in the familiar black mist. The smashers look on in horror. "No... it can't be..." Samus utters.
Just then, a bellowing, evil laugh is heard. Master Hand comes flying toward the Battlefield. "Oh. I'm sorry. Did I take out your ship?" He says.
Fox and Falco are red with anger. "Master Hand! How dare you! We'lla destroy you for this!" Mario yells out.
"Yes, but this Battlefield is a bit too small, don't you think?" Master Hand replies.
The smashers wonder what he means. Master Hand then becomes surrounded in the same green energy Bowser was at Brinstar. "The transporter blast!" Peach says.
Master Hand fires it at the Battlefield, engulfing the warriors. He then disappears through a dark warp. The group braces themselves as they disappear with the green energy, leaving behind the empty Battlefield and the newly frozen Great Fox.
