A/N: Yes, I know I'm lacking humor in the last chapter, and probably this one too. But after this one there will be a return of humor! And pie. Mostly humor. But I tried to fit some humor into this one.

The True Axis of Evil Take Over the World!
By Hayabusa Will (TheNameIsWill@AOL.Com)
Chapter Seven-Smackdown Pt. 2
Tidus, Raiden and Pikachu stood in their corner as the threat of Cloud Strife stood in front of the Allies' corner, Mario and MegaMan behind him.
"All right, we gotta regroup here" Pikachu said, standing on the second rope so he'd reach the height of the other two. "Cloud is tough and using steel chairs isn't working, Tidus"
"Well, if he didn't throw Crash at me I would've nailed him" Tidus replied.
Raiden took over. "To beat the remaining three, we'll need to be swift, precise, strategic"
"Strategic, got it" Tidus leapt onto the top rope and jumped down, then proceeded to run at Cloud. "PA LA LA LA LA LA!" He screamed as he dashed at the other blonde-haired hero. Cloud leapt out of the way and Tidus slammed into the turnbuckle. Cloud grabbed him and brought him down with a backwards German suplex, holding him in place for a pin.
"1...2..."
"A near-fall as Tidus kicks out" Joe announced.
Tidus pulled out of the pin and began punching at Cloud. He ran closer at Cloud, who threw out one foot to trip Tidus and send him over the top ropes. Mario leapt onto the top turnbuckle and came flying down, landing on Tidus' stomach. MegaMan leapt onto the top rope as well, and was knocked down as Raiden and Pikachu shook the rope. Pikachu leapt onto it and kicked MegaMan in the head, knocking him twelve feet onto the mat.
"Ooh, and down goes MegaMan" Ganondorf chuckled. "This is great, they're beating each other senseless!"
Tidus grabbed a nearby camera from a cameraman and threw it at Cloud, knocking him straight down. Rather than capitalizing on this, Tidus took a few steps away to regain his breath while Cloud lay injured on the ground among broken camera pieces. Pikachu leapt onto Cloud and began slapping him around as no one had seen the Pokémon do before. Mario leapt at Pikachu, knocking him backwards off of Cloud. Mario dashed back at Pikachu, only to get tackled by Raiden who was around the corner and hidden from Mario's view.
Tidus came back and pulled Cloud up by his spiky hair, punching at Cloud's stomach. Cloud resisted with an elbow to Tidus' face, then a toss to the ring pole where Sonic had been flattened before. At this point, Sonic had been carried out by EMTs and was safe from any more beatings. Cloud picked up Tidus and banged his back into the post, then threw him back into the ring. Cloud went for the pin, but unknown to him Raiden was climbing the ropes. He came down on Cloud's back with an elbow, then slid back out as MegaMan came in and chased him down. Tidus this time went for a pin. "1...2..." Cloud kicked out.
"And Cloud kicks out of the pin, preventing Tidus from getting the edge" Joe observed.
As the two teams settled back in, Tidus went over to Raiden and tagged him in, holding him in place for a boot. Tidus climbed to the other side of the ropes with Pikachu as Raiden went to work on Cloud. Raiden threw Cloud against the ropes and came rushing back towards him. Cloud stopped himself in time to hit Raiden with a fist and then go for a pin. "1...2..." Raiden thrust his shoulder into the air in time to stop the count. Cloud got up and tagged in Mario. Mario climbed the ropes and leapt off the second turnbuckle towards Raiden. Raiden leapt to his feet and ran away, leaving Mario to fall on his gut hard. Mario managed to get the tag back to Cloud. Despite this, Raiden ran in and kicked Mario hard in the stomach.
Cloud came back in and picked up Raiden, throwing him back down to the ground. Cloud grinned and dashed back to his corner, leaning over a bit as Raiden slowly got up. Unaware of what was coming, Raiden turned around. Cloud came bolting at Raiden and slammed his shoulders at Raiden's stomach, bringing him down to the ground with a blow hard enough to shake the ring. Mario and MegaMan lead the cheers as Cloud pulled Raiden up and lifted him upside down, balancing Raiden's shoulder on his own. Cloud swung Raiden downwards as he brought the gunner down along with himself, slamming Raiden down to the ground. He went for the pin, as Tidus and Pikachu came in. MegaMan came in and clobbered Tidus and Pikachu with quick fists. "1...2...3" The crowd seemed to explode.
"RAIDEN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
"And finally, one of the three Axis goes down as Raiden is pinned by Cloud for the three-count! And the crowd is going nuts, as the Axis have only two members left, the chance for the world to be free seems within grasp and...ah screw it! Kick their asses, guys!"
The two remaining members of the Axis team watched in horror as Raiden slid out of the ring and fell on his back, not even able to walk out. They turned away from this and began to plan for their next move. "Okay Pikachu, this will help you escape grappling moves when you're in the ring with Cloud" Tidus said as he rubbed what appeared to be a stick of butter on Pikachu.
"This is great, I'm finally living my dream!" Pikachu grinned. "I AM buttered toast!" Pikachu climbed into the ring as Cloud grinned, hanging out on the ropes.
"And Pikachu is jumping in. One can only wonder how a mouse Pokémon is going to handle a human about twice his height and many times his weight!"
"Better take care of this mouse quick!" Cloud grinned and ran at Pikachu. He grabbed Pikachu by the neck, but Pikachu easily slid away and kicked Cloud in the shins. Cloud yelped in pain as Pikachu leapt up and pulled Cloud down by the neck, then went for the pin"
"1..." That was it, not even a two count before Cloud kicked out. He got to his feet and threw a kick, but Pikachu slid across the ground and escaped, tackling Cloud's leg again and bringing him back down. Pikachu ascended the top rope now, ready to jump down on Cloud. MegaMan rushed over and shook the rope, causing Pikachu to lose balance and fall on his back.
Cloud ran at Pikachu and used the similar Spear on him, knocking him from the ring. Cloud leapt out of the ring after him. He saw Pikachu standing near the apron and came running. Pikachu slid away thanks to the butter and Cloud hit his head hard on the apron, falling back. Pikachu slid under the ring and threw a large piece of metal out. As the picture came more into focus, it was apparent that Pikachu had thrown a ladder out. For what, nobody could tell. Cloud kicked Pikachu straight in the face, then punched him. Pikachu used his quick speed to dodge another incoming punch and run into the ring. Cloud picked up the ladder and walked up the steps into the ring.
Now that Cloud was in the ring, Pikachu leapt into the air at Cloud, who caught him. However, the butter allowed Pikachu to slip free and run against the ropes again. Cloud tackled Pikachu for a second devastating spear, bringing him to the ground.
"And Pikachu was just crushed by a second spear attack! Will he for the Jackhammer suplex again that was the end of Raiden?"
However, Cloud had a different idea. He quickly pulled up the ladder and fully set it up. Pikachu was getting up now, and coming at the young Strife. Cloud quickly smacked Pikachu in the chin with an elbow and leapt on him, slamming him down to the ground. Mario and MegaMan then ascended two turnbuckles and came leaping down, Mario slamming onto Pikachu and then MegaMan. The two returned to outside the ropes as instructed by the referee as Cloud began to ascend the ladder.
"And Cloud...Cloud's going up the ladder!" Gasped Ganondorf. "He's gonna jump down on that little mouse! He's even worse than me!"
"Don't do it Cloud! You'll kill yourself! It's suicide!" Added Joe.
The crowd watched in amazement as Cloud went onto the fourth to last rung, which was several feet higher than the highest turnbuckle. It wasn't enough though, as he went up to more. Cloud grinned and looked to the cheering crowd and went up one more, all the way to the top rung of the ladder. The crowd cheered as he held out his arms, ready to jump.
Joe spoke out into the cheering. "Wait a minute, what the?!"
Tidus was getting up. He quickly pulled Pikachu away and went for the ladder, but was intercepted by a head-on ambush by MegaMan and Mario. However, this left ample time for Pikachu. The mouse Pokémon got up and kicked the ladder as hard as he could. The ladder faltered, leaving Cloud to fall over twenty feet onto the mat hard, his mouth nearly crushed, ribs bruised and his face bleeding. The ladder too fell after a few seconds, crushing Cloud beneath. Pikachu was still very hurt though, but had energy enough to move and was crawling over to get to Cloud for the pin.
"Wait a minute, what's this?!" Yelled Joe.
Mario came in and grabbed Pikachu, slamming him down to the ground hard, the remains of the melted butter on the ground where he was lifted and then slammed. Mario grabbed Cloud's right arm and put it on Pikachu's body, then ran at Tidus who was coming in. The referee came in for the count. "1...2 ...3!"
"PIKACHU HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
"Yes, yes!" Yelled Viewtiful Joe. "It's almost over! Tidus is all that's left, and he's gotta face Mario, MegaMan and Cloud to win this! The Axis are done!"
Cloud was still far from conscious, and was in almost as bad a shape as Sonic was when Tidus and Raiden had maimed him outside of the ring. Tidus went for the immediate cover. Mario and MegaMan weren't about to leave Cloud to more pain, and so waited out the count of three.
"CLOUD STRIFE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
"And Cloud's out" Ganondorf said. "So that leaves us at Raiden, Pikachu, Crash and Captain Falcon all eliminated from the Axis team, and Sonic, Solid Snake and Cloud eliminated from the Allies team. And now Tidus has got to face down both MegaMan and Mario to win"
As Mario helped Cloud out of the ring for the EMTs, MegaMan came bursting at Tidus, beating him with his normal arm and buster arm. He kicked Tidus in the gut, only for Tidus to respond with a kick to the fist and rake to the eyes. Tidus grabbed MegaMan by the neck and threw him from the ring, leaping onto the turnbuckle immediately after and jumping down, his elbow landing on the heart of MegaMan. MegaMan was about to get up, but Tidus wasn't about to give him a chance. He beat Sonic down already, MegaMan was just more metallic. Tidus grabbed a chair and smashed MegaMan over the head with it, then did a quick DDT to bring MegaMan's face onto the steel steps.
"And Tidus has gone nuts, he's beating MegaMan senseless!" Yelled Joe.
MegaMan got to one knee and thrust his buster arm into Tidus' face, with an opportunity to now get up and leapt into the air for a drop-kick that knocked down Tidus and himself. MegaMan slid into the ring, hurt now. Tidus grabbed the chair and pulled himself into the ring. He lifted the chair, but MegaMan kicked him in the gut and went running at the ropes. Tidus regained his posture and bashed the chair over MegaMan's head and went for the quick pin.
"1...2...3!"
"MEGAMAN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
"Tidus went crazy!" Ganondorf yelled. "And the crowd ain't too happy"
Joe shook his head. "No, not at all are they happy. They're stunned, it's now down to a 1-on-1 with Mario taking on Tidus to decide whose team will win"
Mario and Tidus started at opposite sides of the ring now, walking in circles about to attack. The two ran forward and grappled, Tidus gaining control and putting Mario in a headlock. Mario broke free and threw Tidus against the ropes, running into the opposite ropes and throwing himself at Tidus. He went for a quick pin at this point. "1...2..." A quick kick-out by Tidus. Mario hammered Tidus in the face once and took a step back to prepare for another move. Tidus got up and booted Mario in the gut, then DDTed him as he did with MegaMan a few seconds earlier. As Mario went down, Tidus went for the pin. "1...2.." Another kick-out, this time by Mario.
The young Tidus pulled up the older man Mario as he got up himself and punched Mario straight in the head, knocking his hat off. Mario ran a hand through his hair before getting up, and being treated to another head-on fist from Tidus. Tidus stomped Mario's stomach twice then leapt into the air to come down. Mario sprang to the left and Tidus ate a faceful of the wrestling mat. Mario turned Tidus over and went for the pin, but Tidus pushed him off quickly.
The two stood at the middle of the ring, beating at each other with their fists, neither man wanting to back down, fighting for control of the world.
"And it's come to this, Mario, Tidus, the winner takes complete control! The winner's team takes all!" Joe announced.
"One of them's gotta win, but one's gotta lose!" Ganondorf chuckled. "It's funny when people lose, I get to make fun of 'em for losin'!"
Tidus had Mario at the ropes with punches by now. Mario protested with a punch of his own, but Tidus regained his upper hand by forcing Mario into the corner with a thrust. He began kicking at the plumber know, causing him to sink to a sitting position. Mario fell over, and Tidus went around, putting one hand around Mario's neck and the other across his face, pulling at his eyes. This choke and eye rake combination put extreme pain on Mario, causing him to have the extreme want to tap out. However, he heard something.
"MA-RI-O! MA-RI-O!"
The crowd was behind him. He could do this. He HAD to do it! For all the people there, he was going to! Mario thrust his hands out and somehow, someway mustered the strength to pull Tidus off. He kicked Tidus, attempting to hit the stomach but getting where the sun don't shine. Either way, Mario took a step back and knocked Tidus down. The plumber took two steps away and came down, landing a leg across Tidus' throat. He then pinned Tidus, prepared for the win.
"1...2...th" He was stopped as Tidus somehow pulled out. However, Mario was hurt and his head was hit hard. Believing he had won, he stepped onto the top ropes. Somewhere, he heard a voice singing.
"The winner takes all...
it's just the thrill of one more kill!
The last one to fall!
Will never sacrifice their will!"
However, this 70s-style rock music was interrupted as Tidus grabbed Mario from the ropes and slammed him back down. The two lay hurt on the ground, neither one moving. In the process, he hit the referee, who fell over.
Tidus ran at Mario and grabbed him across the neck, strangling him as hard as he could. He had a crazed look in his eyes, as if he had achieved true evil, as the name of his team implied. He choked Mario with all he could, trying to wind the plumber out and then finish him. However, the crowd continued to cheer for him, and Mario was able to break the hold and tackle Tidus down.
"And they're down...they're both down...and the referee! This is madness, and we don't know who's gonna win?!" Joe announced to the silent crowd.
As this happened, a shape moved through the audience. A man leapt out of the audience and picked up a steel chair, rushing at the ring. He ran into the ring and faced Tidus, who was leaning against the ropes, panting for breath. Tidus looked at him. "Wakka?"
Wakka looked at Tidus, growling. "I did say I was going to make sure that ya'd lose, even if I had to be the one to do it. I thought it through and...I'm gonna do what I gotta!" Tidus watched without words as Wakka dashed forward. Mario smiled as he knew victory was coming. This smile faded as Wakka headed towards Mario and smashed him over the head with it.
"Mario's down! Mario's down! What the hell?! What the hell?!" Exclaimed Joe.
"I'm not gonna do that to ya, did ya?" Wakka smirked and gave Tidus a brief brotherly hug.
(A/N: That's BROTHERLY you yaoi-freaks)
Tidus walked over and grabbed Mario, and secured his head with his knees. Tidus lifted Mario's arms up and gripped them, then leapt down into a kneeling position, slamming Mario's face into the ground for his stolen-trademark Pedigree, as if he needed to be hit again to be down and out. Wakka helped up the referee as Tidus went for the pin.
Joe was beside himself. "Damn you, Wakka! Damn you! The referee's up...this can't be the end! It can't!"
The referee weakly hit the ground once. "One..."
"There's one!" Announced Ganondorf.
"Two..."
Joe was on his feet, literally screaming at the top of his lungs. "Kick out Mario, kick out! For the love of God, KICK OUT!"
"Three!"
The bell sounded thrice and the announcer's voice gave the news. "The winners of this match, and still rulers of the world, the True Axis of Evil Team!"
The crowd watched silently as Wakka held Tidus' arm into the air. Raiden and Pikachu dashed down, Crash and Captain Falcon not too far behind. Everyone watched in completely silence as the six individuals in the ring celebrated the Axis victory.
Joe's voice quivered into his microphone. "What...what now?"

Wakka looked at Tidus, growling. "I did say I was going to make sure that ya'd lose, even if I had to be the one to do it. I thought it through and...I'm gonna do what I gotta!" Tidus watched without words as Wakka dashed forward. Mario smiled as he knew victory was coming. This smile faded as Wakka headed towards Mario and smashed him over the head with it.
"Mario's down! Mario's down! What the hell?! What the hell?!" Exclaimed Joe.
"I'm not gonna do that to ya, did ya?" Wakka smirked and gave Tidus a brief brotherly hug.
(A/N: That's BROTHERLY you yaoi-freaks)
Tidus walked over and grabbed Mario, and secured his head with his knees. Tidus lifted Mario's arms up and gripped them, then leapt down into a kneeling position, slamming Mario's face into the ground for his stolen-trademark Pedigree, as if he needed to be hit again to be down and out. Wakka helped up the referee as Tidus went for the pin.
Joe was beside himself. "Damn you, Wakka! Damn you! The referee's up...this can't be the end! It can't!"
The referee weakly hit the ground once. "One..."
"There's one!" Announced Ganondorf.
"Two..."
Joe was on his feet, literally screaming at the top of his lungs. "Kick out Mario, kick out! For the love of God, KICK OUT!"
"Three!"
The bell sounded thrice and the announcer's voice gave the news. "The winners of this match, and still rulers of the world, the True Axis of Evil Team!"
The crowd watched silently as Wakka held Tidus' arm into the air. Raiden and Pikachu dashed down, Crash and Captain Falcon not too far behind. Everyone watched in completely silence as the six individuals in the ring celebrated the Axis victory.
Joe's voice quivered into his microphone. "What...what now?"
