Chapter 3: The Outcasts Worse Enemy

Deadly Warrior looked at a beat up Mewtwo, "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten in this mess!"

Anthony spoke up, "Those guys are everywhere. They took over Mobotropolis, and probably every city in the planet..."

"I wonder how many even had a chance to fight back," said Deadly Warrior, obviously disgusted.

"I doubt many had a chance," said Anthony, "I just hope the Heroes Council is safe..."

"What do you mean?"

"They escaped on a helicopter, and I tried to fight off the Outcasts, but couldn't stand too long!"

"They outnumbered you, eh? It seems that this is the only technique they're using!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Smashers walked along the shore, following Ukyo.

"Hey, where are we going exactly?"

"I wish I knew..." replied Max, "I don't know where she's taking us!"

Ukyo stopped abruptly, "Everybody, be quite!"

"What's wrong?"

"We've got company..." she said, pulling her spatula and getting into a fighting stance.

"Who's there?" Max shouted, trying to act tough.

"If you must know..." came a very soft feminine voice, "I am Kazashi, Daughter of Death!"

"No," Sam told Max, "She's not friendly at all,"

"I guess I have it figured out by now!"

Sam rolled his eyes.

"Kazashi, huh?" he said, "Well, nobody here is going to die today,"

"Are you trying to challenge me to a fight of honor?" she said coldly.

Max puffed, "Are you kidding? Your kind knows no honor!"

She smiled, "On the contrary, my friend, we do!" and drew her sword, "I shall destroy you all now!"

Ukyo stepped forward, "Bring it on!"

Kazashi swung her sword, and Ukyo blocked it with her spatula, then hit her on the side, making her slam into the floor.

Ukyo lifted the spatula over her head and swung it down.

Kazashi blocked it with her sword, and kicked Ukyo off her, "You shall not live to see another day!"

She slammed her sword on the ground, unleashing black flames all over.

"Oh, crap!" said Max, "Roy! Try creating a barrier!"

Roy nodded and swung his sword in front of him, unleashing a great fire that spread out in both directions.

"Guys, run!" shouted Ukyo, "We'll hold her off!"

Marth and Roy stood their ground, "You need help!"

The other Smashers stood, "We won't leave without you!"

Roy slashed his sword again, this time sending the flames at the Smashers, who started running.

Ukyo smiled, "Now you die, Kazashi!"

"I don't think so!" she smiled, "Outcasts! Come forth and claim those weaklings!"

"I'd be dead before I would be taken prisoner!" shouted Marth, hacking and slashing the Outcasts.

An Outcast crept up behind him, only to get an arrow between his eyes.

"You didn't expect to get rid of me this easy, did you?"

"LINK!"

"Yeah, it's me. Now come on, let's get these freaks!"

Link drew the Master Sword, and swung it about, killing Outcasts.

"Kill the elf!" yelled Kazashi.

The Outcasts began rushing Link, who could no longer hold them off. Fox whipped out his gun, as did Falco, and began blasting the Outcasts. Link was also starting to get the upper hand, driving his sword threw the beasts. Marth and Roy were aiding Link, as was Ukyo with her spatula.

"Don't give up, my minions!" screamed Kazashi.

Kazashi ran towards Link, who had just decapitated an Outcast.

"Oh no you don't!" said Fox as he shot Kazashi's hand.

"Gah!" she yelled as her sword dropped from her grasp.

Several Outcasts rushed to her aid, but Link took them out with his bow. Kazashi looked at her fallen minions, and signaled for others to attack. But once again, the Smashers just took them out. Ukyo ran up to Kazashi, who was on the ground.

"Now Kazashi, say goodnight!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Deadly Warrior and the rest of his crew were busy fixing up the Omnirus. But Anthony was just sitting in a corner, deep in thought. Spectral Link walked over to him.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Nothing..I just hope the Heroes Council is safe."

"Don't worry. As soon as we fix the Omnirus, we'll head over to where ever this Heroes Council is."

"Good. I thank you very much." said Anthony gratefully.

Spectral Link walked back over to work on the ship, as Anthony stayed there, thinking.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Mobotropolis, Packbell had roboticized many of the Outcasts, and the King and Queen, "Well..." he chuckled to himself, "There's nobody who could stand in my way now!"

The Outcast leader stood with the remaining few Outcasts, "You really think you've got a chance, Packbell?" he shouted, "You're only making my job easier! Go ahead and roboticize them all! Soon, I'll be able to destroy them all the easier!"

Packbell looked at a roboticized Outcast, and with one glance blew him up, "I've got a self destruction system planted in every one of them! You can kiss them all goodbye!"

"You're bluffing! You need them all if you wish to stand against the mighty forces of the Outcasts! Say goodbye!"

"Don't push me!" he replied, cocking a blaster and aiming it at him.

"Packbell, even if you defeat me, which I doubt would work, you can never restore what the Outcasts did!"

Packbell started shooting at the Outcast leader, but all the shots just bounced off.

The Outcast leader smirked, "Pathetic! A being of metal and wires can never defeat me! Outcasts, unleash the weapon!"

Packbell looked at them in silence as they pulled forth a large sphere.

"This is the annihilator. Once activated, you would have five minutes to leave this place. Unfortunately for you, it's been activated a little over four minutes ago!"

Packbell shouted and started shooting at it with no effect. The Outcast leader laughed evilly, "It has been nice knowing you, tin man!"

With a puff, the Outcasts disappeared, leaving Packbell and his army of Outcasts alone with a superweapon.

Packbell looked at the roboticized army, "You're no use to me, none of you but two!" he looked at the King and Queen, "You two come with me, while the others rip this device apart!"

A shot came from above, destroying the annihilator device.

"What in the worlds?" Packbell looked up and saw a large flying ship closing in.

A familiar person jumped off the ship, and landed on one knee.

"It's...you! Kuno, right?"

All of a sudden hundreds of Outcasts appeared behind him, "Behind you!" shouted Packbell.

He turned around and started beating them up with his wooden sword.

Packbell pulled out his gun...and fired, hitting an Outcast who was sneaking behind Kuno.

Kuno turned around, surprised that Packbell had helped him.

"Don't be surprised, kid. I hate them more than I hate you!"

Above them, the Zephyrus hovered. Master Link walked in, "How's Kuno doing?"

"He's doing better than I've expected," said Vegeta.

Piccolo nodded, "He could outdo Frieza all alone with this power!"

Master Link smiled, "That's good. Then the Outcasts shouldn't be a problem to us!"

"I couldn't agree more," said Vegeta, "Let's get in there and show them..."

Master Link stopped him, "We need to keep our true strength a secret until we face the more powerful Outcasts!"

"What are those then?" said Leona, pointing at the Outcasts below.

"There's probably the Outcast counterparts for Goombas, Metroids and Stalfos. I'm sure the true powers are still in hiding, and so should we..."

Packbell entered, "You're doing a good job hiding, appearing in a flying ship over Mobotropolis!"

"How did you get up here?"

"I can fly..."

"Since when could you fly?"

"Since I made some upgrades to myself...I don't think you can destroy the Outcasts alone..."

Master Link crossed his hands, "What are you saying?"

"Look down there..."

Master Link looked and saw Kuno fighting the Outcasts with the robots helping him out.

"I am suggesting an alliance between us. Maybe then we can use your strength with a large army created by me to battle them,"

"Are you telling me that you would roboticize everybody and send them to the Outcasts?"

"Why not?" he said, clapping his hands. The roboticized King and Queen entered.

"King and Queen Acorn," Packbell chuckled, "They look better than they ever were,"

Master Link's jaw dropped, "You did this?"

Packbell aimed his roboticizer gun at Pan and Bra, and fired. Before their eyes the two girls turned into robots.

Master Link grabbed Packbell and slammed him against the wall, "You change them back right now!"

"He's here to trick us and transform us into metallic creatures!" shouted Ryoga.

"Calm down...it's easily reversible!" he said, changing the settings on his gun and firing at the four robots, turning them back into living creatures.

"I don't understand you, Packbell..."

"I offer my alliance to you, no questions asked. I only need one thing in return after this whole war is over..."

"And that would be?"

"The Gamemaster!"

The King gasped, "This is an outrage!"

A single shot from Packbell's gun changed him back into a robot.

Master Link scratched his chin, deep in thought, then stuck his hand out, "It's a deal then?"

Packbell smiled.

"Now, deroboticize the King and Queen, and hand me that gun of yours to ensure everybody's safety."

Packbell did as he was told.

"Thanks," said Master Link, "I don't trust you completely. If you stray an inch from the deal, then it's off!"

"I won't!" Packbell chuckled.
