Mario can feel a strange sensation all around and within him as he disappears from Bowser's fortress via the mist. His mind a total criss-cross, he can do nothing but wait for a result. Suddenly, he finds his thoughts clear. He can feel his essence again. He opens his eyes, but his vision is blurry. He reaches up and rubs his eyes with his fists, and opens them again. A bit clearer. He blinks a couple times, his vision slowly returning. He realizes he is back at the Pokemon Stadium. He glances over, spotting the still unconscious Fox. He gets up, still feeling a bit weird, and walks over to Fox. He checks over him, making sure he's alive. He feels a pulse. Good. He'sa still alive. Mario thinks.
As he checks over Fox, Mario spots jetstreams of the dark mist coming slowly down toward the platform. He jumps to attention, and watches as the mist tunnels form into Link and Roy. The two swordsman sit up shakily, obviously feeling weird like Mario was not a moment before. "Link! Roy!" Mario calls out, advancing toward them.
The two swordsman adjust their visions and stand, greeting Mario. "Man, so we're all okay?" Roy asks.
"What happened to you two?" Mario asks.
"I fought Ganondorf at Hyrule Castle." Link says.
"Really? I fought Mewtwo on these giant balloons..." Roy states.
"Well I fought Bowser at his fortress. This wasa all elaborate..." Mario says.
Link glances over and sees Fox. "Crap, is he alright?" He says, hurrying over to him.
"He's alive. Just out cold." Mario says.
"Well it's obvious we all won our battles. Do you think it's over?" Roy says.
Before Mario or Link can answer, a psywave passes over the platform. It surrounds the entire platform in an oval radius, before condensing into a cloud. The three warriors look up at it. "It appears it's not over yet." Link says.
Roy and Link prepare their swords, and Mario stands ready. The strange cloud pulsates and glows with a purple light. It parts in the sides, and begins to glow red. A blast of red energy begins flowing out of the cloud. It spreads into a field in front of the warriors. It stays there for a moment. "What is it?" Roy wonders.
"It looks like a portal..." Link notes.
As if Link's words were magic, the field begins spinning like a vortex. The 3 back up. Three figures appear in the vortex. Mario recognizes the figures. The three figures step out the vortex, and are none other than Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Bowser. The vortex behind them dissipates. "You three again?!" Roy says, surprised.
"I left you ruined, Ganondorf!" Link yells.
The three fiends stand unmoving. Roy and Link look at each other, confused. "Something isn't right witha them." Mario says.
"I don't see what you mean..." Roy states.
"Wait... look at their eyes." Link says.
Roy glances over the three. Their eyes are black and empty, not unlike how you would see on a skull. "Recognize it?" Mario asks.
"Oh... I do! From our battle at Mute City..." Roy recalls.
"You're very sharp, boy." Ganondorf? states.
Ganondorf's voice is duplicated: One is his own, and the other is deep and coarse. "Yep, just like at Mute City..." Link states.
"It will be an honor tearing you all to pieces." Bowser? states, in the duplicate voice.
Mario finds this statement strange. "That's nota the same Bowser I know. What has come over you?" He says.
"The three you see before you are no more. You all defeated them." Mewtwo? says, in the duplicate voice.
"They were merely pawns in a game they thought they could control." Ganondorf? says.
"Who are you?" Link demands.
"Who am I? Why, Master Hand, of course." Bowser? says.
The three warriors are shocked at this statement. Master Hand begins speaking through Mewtwo. "Allow me to explain. You all have come to think these three fiends here released me from the void. The truth is, they did, but only after I gained control over the void with help from a long lost brother."
"Crazy Hand..." Roy says.
"Precisely. Once I found out I could return here, I decided to find pawns. Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Bowser were easy to convince, as they share similar passions of domination. When I revealed to them they could rule the entire Nintendo Universe, they released myself and Crazy Hand from the void."
"Wait, they're more powerful than you. They've turned on you before." Link states.
"Didn't I once tell you that myself and Crazy Hand were unstoppable against them? Well I wasn't lying. Yes, these three got treacherous. My power was weakened since I last came to this universe, and Crazy Hand isn't too far away. However, since their power was greater, they went back on the ally deal. So we played along and continued to dominate, until we were sent back to the void."
"And that was the mistake..." Mario says.
"Exactly. These three didn't care whether we lived or died. When we were defeated, they simply thought we were out of the picture for good. But back in the void, our power is back. When you three defeated them, we easily came into the picture. Now they are our slaves."
"We defeated them once, we'll defeat them again!" Link says.
"I don't think so this time." Master Hand states, this time as Bowser. "With our control comes our power. I think your time is up."
"This is just funny." A voice says.
"What?" MH Ganondorf states.
The three warriors turn around to see the awakened Fox. He's slightly slumped over, still weak from the attack that took him out. "I find this funny. You and your brother seem to have control over the Dimensional Void, yet you couldn't free yourselves from it. Maybe your control isn't as good as you think."
"SILENCE!" MH Mewtwo yells, firing a bolt of purple electricity at the weakened Fox.
Fox yells out in pain as the shock pulses through him. MH Mewtwo cracks a smile, which fades as a flaming arrow pierces his hand. This stops the attack. Fox falls to his knees. MH Mewtwo yanks the arrow out of his hand and looks over at Link, who is putting away his bow. "You will pay for that!" MH Mewtwo says, hitting Link with a psychic blast.
Link hits the ground a few feet back. Roy immediately charges Mewtwo, hitting Ganondorf on the way. He slashes upward, missing Mewtwo by an inch. Mewtwo backs up, shaken by the close shave. Mario and Bowser stare down each other. Bowser cracks a smile, and then phases out. Mario backs up a step and then blocks in front of him, as Bowser reappears with a punch. Off on another side of the platform, Link begins to get up, brushing off the effects of the blast. He glances up in time to see a massive sword coming down. He quickly rolls out of the way and jumps to his feet, unsheathing the Master Sword. The dark-eyed Ganondorf swings his sword up over his shoulder with one hand. "Show-off." Link says.
MH Ganondorf just smiles, then swings his massive sword a few times like a propeller. Link slowly backs away, dodging the slashes. Ganon stops and jabs the sword forward. Link sidesteps to the left, and takes an offensive opportunity. He jumps to Ganon's left side and attacks, but Ganon is right there is a block from the sword. He then swings the sword upward, sending Link into the air. Link hovers slowly up, as Ganon looks up at him. Ganon suddenly phases out. Link looks up and around him as he begins to descend. Out of nowhere, Ganon appears above him and latches on. In a explosive kick, he sends Link crashing to the platform. Link rolls over, dazed from the attack, and sees Ganon coming down, sword ready to impale. He hops to his feet, and doesn't dodge. As Ganon's sword reaches close, he swings the Master Sword with force. It clashes with Ganon's sword, causing a quick flash. Ganon's sword is redirected to the right, pulling Ganon with it. Ganon flips and lands on his feet. He turns back to link, a bewildered look on his face. "Don't take me lightly." Link says, raising his sword.
MH Bowser fires multiple fireballs toward Mario, who works on dodging each one, while at the same time getting closer to the Koopa king. As he gets close enough for an attack, MH Bowser suddenly retracts into his shell and knocks him backward with the Whirling Fortress move. Mario quickly jumps to his feet, but MH Bowser is right there. He grabs Mario by the throat and lives him into the air. He begins to squeeze harder, an eager smile stretching across his empty-eyed face. Mario gasps for air. "It's time for you to finally die, Mario." MH Bowser chuckles.
"MASTER HAND!" Someone yells.
MH Bowser glances left, and sees none other than Fox McCloud facing him, fists clenched, a whirlwind of fire spinning around him. He then begins charging forward. MH Bowser throws down Mario and turns to block, but is too slow. Fox strikes him in the jaw with massive force, causing an explosion of the red-hot flames. MH Bowser spins around once and falls unconscious. Fox brings his fist back as Mario stands up, grasping his throat. "You alright?" Fox asks. Before Mario can answer, Roy comes tumbling up in front of them. He's holding Marth's sword. "Damnit. He's got my sword..." He says.
Fox and Mario glance over toward MH Mewtwo, who holds up Roy's sword. It begins levitating, and shoots toward the 3 warriors. "Look out!" Mario yells.
Suddenly, Link jumps out from behind them and strikes the flying sword, causing a flash of white light. The sword flies upward and spins around before clanging down to ground. "What the...? How on Earth!" MH Mewtwo says.
"It's over, Master Hand. Just glance around." Link says.
MH Mewtwo spots Bowser lying unconscious behind the 4 warriors. He then glances over their shoulders to see Ganondorf's motionless body. "What! It's impossible!" He says.
"No it's not. You're not as powerful as you think you are any longer." Fox says.
"SILENCE!!" MH Mewtwo yells, suddenly charging a body-sized psychic energy ball.
Link and Roy gasp in astonishment. MH Mewtwo fires the blast forward with a forward motion of his hand. Fox pushes Link & Roy behind him and activates his reflector shield. The blast strikes the shield and is stopped in its tracks, as it tries to shatter the shield. Fox fights the momentary strain and yells out, launching the reflector shield off and firing the attack back toward MH Mewtwo. No time to dodge, he takes the blast full force. He floats suspended above ground for a moment as the blast takes its toll. It stops, and MH Mewtwo falls to his knees. Roy sheaths Marth's sword and picks up his, walking toward Mewtwo. "It's all over, Master Hand. Give it up."
Mewtwo breathes heavily. "I... am not Master Hand..." He says, in his own voice.
The warriors are surprised. "Mewtwo? How did you break it?" Fox asks.
Mewtwo doesn't answer. He instead grabs his head and yells out. Roy backs away. "Master Hand is trying to gain control again..." Link states.
Mewtwo becomes surrounded in a psychic aura... "GET OUT, YOU WRETCHED HAND!" He yells.
He then begins speaking in the duplicate voice again. "I'm afraid not, you pitiful Pokemon. Your psychic powers will not save you now."
"Think again." Mewtwo states, his own voice back.
The aura around him explodes, surrounding the whole platform with a psychic field. The four warriors glance around. Mewtwo looks up at them, his eyes back to normal. "Mewtwo... what is going on?" Mario asks.
Mewtwo begins to speak, his weakness showing. "Master... Master Hand has underestimated me. I broke his lock once.... a-and the second one he tried gave me access to his void... You are right, Fox... He doesn't have much power there....."
"What are you planning?" Fox says, concerned.
Mewtwo closes his eyes. A shroud of darkness begins emitting from him. It slowly covers the 4 warriors. "Mewtwo! What are you doing!" Link yells.
Mewtwo opens his eyes. "I..... am sending you all to his twisted realm. It is your last chance to defeat he and his brother, and... and save the rest of the Smashers.... Consider this my apology for my misdeeds..."
The four warriors say nothing. Just glance around at one another, then back at Mewtwo. Mewtwo suddenly relaxes, the darkness ceasing leave from his body. "It is done." He says.
With that, he collapses. Roy bends down to check him, but a hand-like object jumps out from the darkness and grabs him. He gasps and jumps up, another grabbing his ankle. The other 3 warriors become entangled as well. Before long, the darkness comes alive and spreads over them. The darkness begins to implode, soon disappearing into nothingness, leaving behind the Pokemon Stadium and the fallen Evil Alliance.
