A barren place. Dark, and lifeless. So quiet, it's as if you can hear the sound of silence. Then, as if to shatter its tranquility, four beams of clear light come shining down onto its surface. The four Smashers that Mewtwo sent into the void - Mario, Link, Fox, and Roy - have returned from their journey to hell. The four land slowly, and quickly notice each other. "We're all here!" Mario states.
"This means... We've all succeeded!" Fox says.
"Excellent!" Roy joyously shouts.
"So... Is it truly over? We've rescued everyone..." Link wonders.
"I'm not sure. But hey, where are we?" Fox says, glancing around.
"I'd assume we'da be back at the Stadium." Mario notes.
"I don't see the Pokeball emblem..." Link notices.
"And where are Mewtwo, Ganon, and Bowser? They were left unconscious." Roy says.
"This is quite strange..." Link says.
"Do you think... That it's not over?" Fox asks.
As if to answer his question, the area shakes. The place they stand on appears to be moving, but all around is darkness. Suddenly, the darkness disappears. They now glance around to see nothing but stars and space. Like they just rocketed off the planet. They remain standing on a wide platform. "What the heck is this?" Roy asks.
"No! This is Final Destination!" Link says, surprised.
"This isa where I defeated Master Hand years ago..." Mario says.
"This really isn't over." Fox says.
Roy glances around at the endless stars & sky. "Alright, Hands! Show yourselves! We know you did this!" He yells.
A deep laugh is then heard. The four turn to the right side of the stage. A portal appears, and stepping out of it: Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Bowser. Bowser seems to be unconscious, as Mewtwo and Ganondorf toss him forward. Their eyes are blank. "Looking for us?" Mewtwo states, in a duplicate voice.
"Cut the crap, Master Hand! We know it's you!" Link says.
"Release them from your control!" Mario demands.
"AfRaId ThAt CaNnOt Be DoNe." Ganondorf says, obviously under the control of Crazy Hand.
"Clue me in as to why." Fox states.
"Because you've passed the Tests. You have iniltrated the Void, and broken our links." MH-Mewtwo says.
"HoWeVeR, wE dId NoT nEgLeCt To HaVe A bAcKuP pLaN. tHe PoKeMoN sTaDiUm WaS a CoVeR fOr FiNaL dEsTiNaTiOn. AnD aS yOu MaY nOt HaVe KnOwN, tHeSe ThReE rEmAiNeD uNdEr OuR cOnTrOl." CH-Ganon explains.
"We've transferred the last of our intervoid power and have taken control of these unconscious fools." MH-Mewtwo states.
At this point, Bowser begins to come to. He stands up. "Ugh, what the hell is going on?" He says, his voice normal.
"Huh? Bowser?" Mario says, confused.
"What? You said you had control, Master Hand!" Roy says.
"Minor setback. The last of our intervoid power could not take back Bowser. But that is fine, because as long as he's here, our plan can take shape." MH-Mewtwo explains.
This doesn't sound right to the Smashers. Bowser turns to the two. "Plan? PLAN? You'll be doing nothing with me!!" He yells.
MH-Mewtwo raises his hand, and Bowser is instantly surrounded in a paralyzing field. "You don't have a say in the matter, Koopa." MH-Mewtwo says, smiling.
From behind Bowser, Link draws his sword. He approaches, but CH-Ganon raises his own hand, and Link hits an invisible barrier. "Blocked!" Roy says.
"It'S tImE fOr Us To TrY sOmEtHiNg We ShOuLd HaVe DoNe A lOnG tImE aGo!" CH-Ganon exclaims.
Both he and MH-Mewtwo then begin laughing evilly. Bowser tries to struggle within the field, but cannot escape. MH-Mewtwo and CH-Ganon then begin to turn into dark energy, in the shape of their bodies. Then, they float up and begin channeling into Bowser, much to the Smasher's dismay. Once they're finished, the field around Bowser disappears, and he falls to ground. Link takes a step forward, and realizes Ganon's field is also gone. He approaches Bowser slowly. He is stirring, and getting up. "Bowser? Are you alright?" Link asks.
Bowser says nothing, and then makes a sudden spin, and looks at Link: The most vile, devilish look in his eyes. He then lets out a massive roar, which carries massive force, pushing Link backward into Roy. Bowser then backs away, gripping his head, and roaring in agony. He falls to his knees. "What is happening to him?" Mario says.
Bowser then arches his head back and roars again, but this time: He's changing. He begins to grow in size, and his voice gets coarser. The Smashers look on in horror as he quickly grows in size, towering above them. The spikes on his shell elongate. Horns begin to grow on his head. "What... Is going on?" Fox says, in awe.
"He must be four times his size now!" Roy states.
And then, the transformation stops. It's silent for a moment. Bowser then takes his hands off his head, revealing his new menacing face. He then begins an evil, despicable laugh. And this time, three voices can be heard at once: Both the Hands, and Bowser's, only it's changed into something more vile. "Say hello, to Giga Bowser!" He yells.
"How did... But..." Fox says, bewildered.
"By fusing Mewtwo and Ganondorf into Bowser, the mutation triggered! And it worked PERFECTLY!" Giga Bowser states. "Whatever you are, you will nota win!" Mario says.
Giga Bowser just responds with an astounding laugh. "You overestimate your chances, plumber! You've fought nothing like me before!" He says.
"This is insane... How are we to fight him?" Roy says to the others.
Fox draws his blaster. "Anyway we can!" He says.
He then fires several shots at Giga Bowser. They hit him square in the face, and he hardly flinches. "Ahhh, so you want to start so soon? I didn't know you were so eager to DIE!" He says.
"There will be no one dying today!" A voice says.
Giga Bowser glances to side in surprise, as do the Smashers, who recognize the voice. "Zelda?" Link says.
Off the edge of Final Destination, a portal of light appears. It extends in a beam over the platform for a moment. It then dissipates, revealing all the fallen Smashers rescued from the Void. Mario, Link, Fox, and Roy look on in shock. "What is this?" Giga Bowser states.
Several of the Smashers stare down the behemoth. Donkey Kong turns toward the other 4. "Sorry we're late." He says.
"Couldn't be better timing, I suppose." Peach says, looking up toward Giga Bowser.
Giga Bowser just smiles a toothy grin. "How convienent... Now I can destroy all of you!" He says.
"Silence! You will not defeat us here, or anywhere else!" Samus yells, and fires a fully-charged shot.
The shot smacks Giga Bowser in the face, throwing his head backward. The rest of the Smashers then begin their assault. Pikachu and Jigglypuff fire Hyper Beams, while Falco, Fox, and Samus continue with the blaster shots. The rest of the Smashers begin to contribute their own power, as Giga Bowser becomes barraged with the attacks. He then throws his head back forward, roaring. A massive ball of fire then comes out of his mouth, and charges through the Smashers' attacks. It slams down on the platform and explodes. The Smashers try their best to hold their ground as the fire explodes around them, and soon dissipates. Marth gets up from one knee and assesses the damage. Not far in front of him, Captain Falcon and Ness lay unmoving. They were at the heart of the blast. Giga Bowser chuckles, then swipes his massive hand, striking Falcon and Ness, and sending them off the edge of Final Destination. "NO!" Kirby yells.
"Now do you see? You... cannot... WIN!" Giga Bowser screams.
Giga Bowser then leaps high into the air above the Smashers, and begins to plummet downward at an alarming speed. The Smashers move out of the way as he slams down, causing the entire platform to shake like an earthquake. All the Smashers are driven off balance. Game & Watch, Roy, and the Ice Climbers fall off the side and grab hold. Nana is unable, but she catches Popo's mallet, as he hangs by one arm. "No! It's dark down there!" Nana says.
"Don't worry! Just don't let go!" Popo says.
Up above, Luigi grabs Popo's hand and begins to pull the two back up. He feels a large stomp behind him, and turns to see Giga Bowser looking right at him. Without a haste, Giga Bowser slashes Luigi violently, sending him and both the Ice Climbers plummeting off the side. Pikachu then runs underneath him, and fires upward, cracking him in the mouth with a Skull Bash. Giga Bowser takes a few steps back, reeling from the attack. The rest of the Smashers take initiative. Fox and Falco fire their blaster shots. Giga Bowser blows fire down toward them to stop them. He then spots Samus preparing to fire. She does, in the form of a full-charge shot. Giga Bowser surprisingly blocks it and reflects it away, toward Game & Watch. GW pulls out his pail and catches the shot. He then throws it toward Giga Bowser, who is overtaken by the sudden blast. Up above him, Kirby is floating. He turns into his stone form and slams down hard on Giga Bowser's head, which causes him to fall on his stomach. Just in front of him, Zelda and Peach stand back-to-back and fire a blast of light at Giga Bowser, giving him a rude awakening. Giga Bowser shakes it off and glances below to see Mario and Donkey Kong attacking. He strikes them down, then strikes the swordsman from the other side. He looks forward at the rest of the group. "Now... YOU HAVE ANGERED ME!" He yells.
He reaches forward and grabs Kirby, who is still in stone form. He then hurls him toward the Smashers. Zelda and Peach move, but Samus cannot. She is hit by the stone Kirby, and the two fall into the abyss. Pikachu and Jigglypuff move in for attack. Giga Bowser explodes with anger, and fire extends out around him, knocking away the two Pokemon. Giga Bowser then shoots forward with a massive headbutt, sending the two Pokemon speeding toward their doom. "God damnit!" Falco yells.
"We're dropping like flies!" Yoshi exclaims.
"We have to keep fighting!" Link says, raising his sword.
Link's Crest of Courage surrounds his sword in a pure light, which shines brightly. Giga Bowser reacts to the light strangely. He begins to convulse, and a similar light begins to surround his arms. It quickly fades, and Giga Bowser snaps out of it, just in time to feel an attack from DK and Yoshi. Zelda, back behind the lines, is confused. "What...? What happened to Giga Bowser right then?"
"Something inside him is in peril..." Peach says.
"Oh! Peach! Come over here, we have to try something while we still have time!" Zelda says.
The two go off to their business, as Giga Bowser begins to unleash his fury. "YOU WILL ALL SUFFER MY WRATH!" He yells, slamming down violently.
Game & Watch is directly in the path of the attack, and is taken out instantly. Donkey Kong leaps up and smashes Giga Bowser with a massive punch, which doesn't do much. Giga Bowser grabs him and chucks him off the side, then sends GW with him. Roy, Mario, and Fox come in, blazing with flame, but Giga Bowser counters with his own fiery breath. Giga Bowser leaps downward and begins slashing away at the Smashers. Roy is sent over the edge, where he grabs on, and attempts to pull himself back up. Mario attempts to fight back, but Giga Bowser slams him into the ground. Yoshi retracts into an egg and fires upward, knocking Giga Bowser's head back. This buys enough time for Falco to leap up and attack. Giga Bowser, however, bucks him off, and swats him in midair, sending him away. "NO! FALCO!" Fox yells, as Giga Bowser attacks him as well.
Roy slowly attempts to pull himself up, fighting through the pain. On the other side of the platform, Marth sees him pull himself up onto the platform, and decides to go and help. Before he can, Giga Bowser gets in the way, and plants his massive foot down upon Roy. Roy screams in pain: A scream which seems to echo across the ears off all the Smashers. Roy then falls unconscious, and slowly slips, and falls off the platform. Marth collapses to the ground, his will to fight leaving him. "This... is a battle we cannot win." He says, quietly.
Giga Bowser glances at the injured Smashers, who start getting up, still with the intent to fight. "Look at you wither in pain... Face it! YOU HAVE LOST!" He yells.
Suddenly, a bright light illuminates. On the far side of the platform, the Smashers notice Zelda and Peach, opening a portal of light. They seem to be straining. "Come on... We have to hold it!" Zelda says.
But, the portal shatters, and two Princesses fall down in exhaustion. Giga Bowser looks on. "And just what do you think you're doing? Trying to find a way out? It's not going to happen! LOOK!" He says.
The sky around Final Destination then begins to turn red. A massive swirling vortex appears not far away. "No... Can't be!" Mario says.
"We have reached the end! Soon, this entire platform will be sucked into the Dimensional Void!" Giga Bowser says, then beginning a bellowing laugh.
Yoshi seizes the opportunity and attacks. He jumps up and retracts into an egg, slamming down on Giga Bowser with force. Giga Bowser then grabs the dinosaur in midair, and squeezes him. Mario, down below, gets up, about ready to continue. Giga Bowser then looks down toward the other side, where Peach and Zelda are trying once again. He hurls the unconscious Yoshi toward them. Zelda sees him, and yells. Peach looks, but too late. She is struck, and the two plummet. Zelda watches them. "Oh no!" She says.
Mario witnessed the entire act. He goes into a rage, a vortex of fire spinning around him. He shoots up toward Giga Bowser and attacks his head with flaming combos. Giga Bowser grows tired and slams down with his fist, driving Mario into the platform. Not far away, Fox wobbily gets to his feet, and prepares his blaster. Giga Bowser looks down at him, and smiles evilly. He backhands the weak Fox, sending him over the side. His scream can be heard, slowly fading. Link and Marth get to their feet. Marth is spacing out. "Come on, Marth! Don't quit now!" Link says.
Giga Bowser gets ready to attack them, when he's suddenly stricken with a beam of light. Zelda is the source, on the far end. Giga Bowser is stopped dead by the light. Marth shakes his head, and looks at Link. The two nod to each other. They then leap up, swords charged with energy. They attack Giga Bowser's face, causing two small energy explosions, and two lacerations. Giga Bowser tries to swat at them, but Zelda's light continues to debiliate him. He then fires a small fireball, which hits Zelda, and stops the attack. Just as this happens, Marth and Link are back for another round. Giga Bowser bats down Marth, but grabs Link in midair, and begins to crush him. Marth jumps back up. "YOU WILL NOT WIN!" He yells.
Giga Bowser grabs him as well, and squeezes him tight: A serious shot. Link can only watch, but it seems to be in slow motion, as Giga Bowser hurls Marth far off the side of Final Destination. Giga Bowser chuckles evilly, and turns his attention back to Link. Link begins to feel strange. Rage, sadness, courage, and power come to a breaking point. His vision begins to go white. Mario and Zelda get up and see Link give off a glow. Link then yells out, as he explodes in a yellow blast of power, which overtakes almost the entire Final Destination platform. Giga Bowser drops Link and begins yelling out in pain, as the light of Link's Triforce crest wails away on him. The blast soon dissipates, and Link falls unmoving. Zelda notices. "No... Please, no..." She says, as she goes over to him.
Giga Bowser is one again convulsing, and giving off a strange light. Mario takes his opportunity, and fights through his pain and injury, and goes on the attack. Zelda sits Link up. Link has a blank stare. Zelda sees Giga Bowser going into the strange phase again. "Come on, Link... I know you're there... Wake up, I have a plan!" She says.
The platform draws extremely close to the vortex into the Void. Giga Bowser snaps out of his trip and feels Mario's assault. He strikes Mario down. Mario goes crashing to the platform like a ragdoll. Giga Bowser looks over at the portal. "Yes... YES! It's over! THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW!" He yells.
Zelda continues trying to stir Link, as tears begin to flow down her cheeks. "Link, please... You have to come to, or we're done for!"
She then grabs his left hand with both her hands. Giga Bowser looks down at them. "Aww, sharing a final touching moment before you are banished? Well... Sorry I have to end it for you..." He says, raising his massive hand.
Zelda watches, unable to do anything. Mario jumps to his feet, and begins running over. Giga Bowser swings. Mario pushes Link and Zelda away, and takes the hit instead. He flies off the edge of Final Destination, with Zelda watching. "What? Ha! Noble little Mario!" Giga Bowser says.
"Link, please! I know you saw that! Mario sacrificed himself for us! You have to come to......" She says, her voice getting weaker.
Zelda stops trying, as her tears drop to the ground. Giga Bowser laughs maniacally as Final Destination approaches the vortex. But suddenly, the mark of Zelda's Triforce crest appears on her hand, and she begins to glow with its light. Then, Link blinks, his blank stare gone. He gasps, as he comes out of his lapse. As if to react to Zelda, his Crest begins to let off energy. As it does, the two become surrounded in an orb of light. The light then begins to flow toward the vortex. Giga Bowser looks at this, and then starts to lose it. His strange convulses trigger. The strange glow surrounds him. Zelda watches this. "Yes... It's working!" She says.
"Zelda... What's happening?" Link asks.
"Ganondorf is part of Giga Bowser. So Giga Bowser has the Crest of Power. I noticed it react whenever an extreme source of Triforce energy was activated. And now, the three Crests are active at once!" She explains.
The glow around Giga Bowser also begins flocking toward the vortex. Link and Zelda look over, as it seems to seep into the vortex, changing it from red to yellow. "What is it doing?" Link asks.
"Purifying it, just like I thought. It's no longer the portal to the Void..." Zelda says.
Giga Bowser snaps out of his trance, and sees the power flowing off him. "What? What is happening? The portal! What is happening to the portal!" He says.
The Triforce energy completely overtakes the vortex, as Final Destination comes into contact with it. "No! NO! IT CAN'T BE! NOOOOOO!" He yells.
Giga Bowser, Link, and Zelda become surrounded. As the platform goes in, the light amongst the vortex explodes out, and flows through the infinite space, where Final Destination travelled on its doomed path. Final Destination then completely disappears, as Giga Bowser's yell slowly fades...
