Chapter 3:Vengeance
Foreword: The Dark Alliance has traveled far and wide in Arcadia, recruiting the most vilest(and craziest) villains to join them in their conquest for Arcadia. Now the question is, when will they strike?..........................
Back on Mobius, the older members of the Heroes Council were getting acquainted with newest members. Zindakku had gone back to Smash World. Ash and Tai were currently talking to each other, with Pikachu and Agumon beside them. Marth and Link were currently sparing each other. Vegeta had asked both Liu Kang and Ryu to show off their fighting skills . He was a little impressed of their abilities. Tails was currently talking, or should I say, barraging the StarFox team. Ever since he when he first met them, he was really fascinated with them, especially with Fox. Of course, Sonic was little jealous, but he and Knuckles were currently getting to know Crash Bandicoot, or at least they were trying to.
Hotsuma, Tal'Set, Mewtwo, Joanna, Jill, Orta and her dragon Lagi, were currently in the background. Apparently, they were, strangely, shy about making any contact. This would of gone on longer, if not until Anthony made his way. "So, you're the famous Gamemaster, right?" Tal'Set asked. "Yes, I am." Anthony answered. "I was expecting something better, than an accountant." Tal'Set said. Anthony sighed and said "You don't know how many people always tell me that." Everyone chuckled when he said that. "Sorry, Mr. Bault, it's just the way you look right now......." Tal'Set said. "Nah, don't worry about it." Anthony said. "Sure." Tal'Set said. "Hey stop being such wall flowers and join in?" Anthony asked. Everyone looked at each other, then shrugged and joined the group. Meanwhile, Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass were talking to the little Bomber Man. "Okay, so you're name is Bomber Man, right?" Bass asked. "Yep." Bomber Man replied. "Could I ask you a question, are you a robot?" Bass asked. Bomber Man just stared at him. Meanwhile Peach, Zelda, Amy, Serena, and Jenna were all gathered around Kirby, who was with Tiff and Tuff. "Ah, he's sooo cute." Amy said. "Yeah, he may be cute, but he's one heck of a Star Warrior." Tuff commented. All Kirby did say was "Puyo!" This made all the girls say "Awwwwwwwwe......" Peter Parker (a.k.a Spider -Man) was getting acquainted with D.K. and Diddy. "Boy, this is sure going well." Diddy said. "Yeah." Peter said, Why, did I get stuck with the monkeys?
After the "Get to know you" session was over, everyone sat down in the council room. Anthony presided over the meeting, "Basically, what we do here is to handle any problems that might affect Arcadia. The meetings aren't on a regular basis, so you don't have to come in daily. So are there any questions?"
One question, Mewtwo asked, If Vegeta acts out of line, could I pin him to a wall? Vegeta got out of his seat and yelled "WHAT??!!!" Everyone laughed, then suddenly ..........................
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone got out of their seats in shock. "What was that?!" Sonic asked. Everyone rushed out of the palace to see smoke coming from the south part of the city. As they rushed over there, panicked Mobians were headed to the opposite direction. When the Heroes Council reached the source of the smoke they saw a large tank in the middle of the street.
"Who the hell are you, and why are doing this?" Anthony asked angrily. A mechanical voice came out of the tank saying "By orders of the Dark Alliance, we are here to conquer Mobius." Sonic stepped foreword saying "Why don't you get out of your tank and do your self, or are you a chicken?!" The voice inside chuckled and said "That's impossible, for I am the tank!" The heroes had questioned looks on their faces when they heard this. Then the voice yelled "TRANSFORM!" Instantly the tank became a huge robot. The heroes looked up at the robot in shock. "Hey, Protoman, what does your scanner say about him?" Megaman asked. "I don't know, this 'bot is really sophisticated." Protoman answered. "Greetings, Heroes of Arcadia, I am Megatron, supreme general of the Dark Alliance army." "Megatron?.......Leader of the Decepticons?!!" Anthony stuttered. "Who are the Decepticons, Anth?" Tails asked. "They're a race of evil robots, bent on conquering the universe, and that bot over there is their leader, Megatron." Anthony explained, "I never thought the Alliance would go this far to take over Arcadia.." "Well who cares," Sonic said, " There's one of him and plenty of us." Megatron then chuckled upon hearing this and said "Did you really think I came alone?"
As if on cue, two jets, a helicopter, an assault tank, a black sports car , and a huge flying battle ship appeared. All of them yelled "TRANSFORM!", and became robots. "Meet my subordinates: Thrust, Starscream, Cyclonus, Demolisher, Wheeljack, and Shockwave. Now men, fire!!!" Megatron ordered. All of the Decepticons fired their lazers and laughed maniacally. The Heroes had dodge the lazer beams and were watching all of the destruction. "We can't let them do this to the city!" Knuckles yelled. "Yeah, we can't,.."Anthony grimly said, "hey, Spidey, try to get some ground on these guys." "You got it, Anth." Spider-Man replied, but them a pumpkin shaped bomb was thrown at him. He dodged it before it exploded, and then looked up to see who threw it. His eyes widen as he saw who it was. "THE GREEN GOBLIN?"
Yes, it was Spider-Man's long-thought dead nemesis. (By the way, he is in his costume that was in the movie, which I think is a lot cooler.) "Hey, how can you be here? You're dead!" Goblin only chuckled and said "I was, but thanks to the Alliance, I'm back!" Then Goblin flew his glider at Spidey, firing it guns, while the Wall-Crawler did his best to avoid them. Ryu and Liu Kang looked at Spider-Mans predicament. "Ryu, we have to help." Liu said. "You're right." Ryu replied. He was about to go help Spidey, when he was knocked down. Ryu looked up to see who punched him, and gasped. "A..A..A..Akuma?" he stuttered. Ryu's evil opponent smiled and said "Hello Ryu, I'm here to defeat you." Liu stepped foreword and proclaimed "You will have to get through me, first!" Then suddenly, Liu was in a bear-hug. He turned around to none other than KevinMask. "You'll have to go through me as well." the evil wrestler said. "And don't think we came here on our own as well." Akuma said pointing to a wall. The wall then suddenly broke down to reveal Morrigan, her sister Lilith, Motaro, the Juggernaut, and the Psyco Rangers. "I say the battle field is quite even." KevinMask said. Then all of a sudden he was punched down. "Well I say the odds tipped to our favor." Vegeta said, still clutching his fist. This made Akuma very angry. "Attack now!!" he yelled. Soon they were all engage in combat. Ryu was doing his best to fend off Akuma's, Morrigan's, and Lilith's attacks, while Liu Kang had to deal with KevinMask and Motaro, and Vegeta had to fight with the Juggernaut and the Psyco Rangers.
Mewtwo looked towards the onslaught. If I use my psychic powers, I could probably turn this battle to our favor. As he was about to try, he suddenly felt a surge of dark energy in his mind. Mewtwo held his head in pain. "Mewtwo what's wrong?" Ash asked his Poke'mon friend. Someone is blocking my psychic powers with dark energy, I don't know who. Mewtwo replied. "I could probably fill you in on it" a voice in Mewtwo's head said. Who are you?! Mewtwo demanded. "I am known as Maximilian Pegasus." the voice replied. How are you doing this? Mewtwo asked. "With the power of my Millennium Eye, I could easily block any of your psychic attacks." Pegasus replied. Where are you then? Mewtwo asked. "Look above you." Mewtwo looked up to see a giant mechanical whale above him. What is that?! Pegasus's voice chuckled inside Mewtwo's head and said "Oh, it's just the Whale King of my friend, Dr. Layon."
Inside the Whale King, Pegasus was watching down from the main deck with Dr. Layon. "Say Layon, let's give them a real show." Layon chuckled and said "I guess you're right." He then pushed a button on the control panel, and outside the guns of the Whale King turned and aimed right at the area of the city where the Heroes were battling.
Soon, a rain of lazer fire was came down and quickly over took the Heroes. Anthony had to do something. He turned on the comlink in his gauntlet. "Anthony what's going on over there?" the voice in Anthony's comlink asked. "No time, Hershey, we need to evacuate the city, now!" Anthony replied. "What about the rest of you?" Hershey asked. "We'll stay and try to defend the portals, over and out!" Anthony turned off his comlink and turned to his fellow Heroes and shouted "Everyone, fall back!" "What do you mean Anthony?" Sonic shouted. "We have to get the portals to protect them. We can not let the Alliance get their hands portals." Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Immediately, they head toward where the portals. "Do not let them escape!" Megatron yelled. And with that the Alliance forces immediately followed.
As the Heroes were headed to the portals, they saw a group of the Mobian Royal Guard in front of the portals. With them was Princess Sally Acron, Jeff Vanvarken, Ashura Hedgehog, Cystallis Hedgehog, Merc Star, Angel Halo, Jim Silver and Azalea Katsuya. Anthony ran up to Jeff and said "What are you guys doing here?" "We heard there was trouble and we decided to help out." Jeff replied. "Thanks, but I don't think that might help a lot." Just then, the Alliance force moved in. Demolisher then noticed the Knothole Memorial. "What is that?" he asked. "Looks like a memorial or something." Cyclonus said. "Well then," Megatron said while holding his Mini-Con, Leader-1, as a gun, "let's blow it up!" He then fired a shot at the memorial, and it was instantly exploded into millions of pieces.'Well, that gets rid of that eye sore." Megatron said, he then laughed insanely, while the opposition was in complete shock or anger. "You're going to pay for that." Anthony growled. "We'll see, all units fire!!!!!" The rest of the Decepticons, the Green Goblin, and Layon's Whale King then fired their guns away. "Return fire!" Captain St. John ordered. The Royal Guard, along with MegaMan, Protoman, Bass, Joanna Dark, Tal'Set, and Jill Valentine, fire their weapons as well. The four Gamemasters, Jeff, Merc, Link, Marth, and Hotsuma used their swords to deflect the lazer fire. Orta and Ash were trying to get to Layon's Whale King, with the help of Lagi and Charizard, but were trying to dodge the lazers.
The Dark Alliance Fighter Force were watching all the of the onslaught. "When do you think we'll get a chance to battle?" Akuma asked. "Until they stop firing," KevinMask replied, "Which may be never."
The Alliance force had the Heroes pinned down. Many of the Royal Guard were being struck down. The Heroes knew they couldn't keep this up. Then suddenly someone yelled "SPINNING STAFF SHIELD!" Instantly a huge spinning disk appeared in front of the Heroes. "WHAT IN THE MATRIX'S NAME IS THIS!" Megatron yelled. The disk stopped spinning, revealing it to be a long staff. The staff reverted back to it's original size and floated back to it's owner on top of a building. The owner was none other than Zindakku Hirokai. "Help has arrived."
