Sonic meets Mario and Kirby! Chapter 5: The conflict against Bowser

A/N: I'm sorry about last chapter, even though I didn't get any comments about this part, but Mario just suddenly came up with SSJ and Meta-Knight's group (at the very end of chapter 4). I'll just say that Mario and Sonic's group ran into them. Sorry for the confusion............

Mario, Sonic, and the rest of the group ran up the stairs, wondering what the servant tried to say before he suddenly died.
'What did that koopa try to tell us?' wondered Mario. 'And how did he just die like he did?'
"Ah, third floor at last." said Meta-Knight, looking at the door leading to the great hall. "Are you guys ready?"
Kirby jumped excitedly as he nodded. Everyone else stood ready.
"Alright then!" Meta-Knight said to his comrades as he kicked open the door and made his sword point forward. "CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!! For DREAMLAND!!!!!!" Meta-Knight yelled the battle cry. The group ran in the room, finding many terrapins, koopas, fire brothers and boomerang brothers inside as if they waited for them to charge inside the room. Kirby immediately swallowed a fire brother and obtaining the Fire ability as he shot fireballs at a charging squad of koopas who burned to a crisp. Mario and Luigi traditionally jumped on their enemies. Warlord and Shadow fired Chaos Spears at their enemies. The commander of the enemy soldiers, a black armored terrapin, ordered the troops to retreat and rethink their strategy.
"That was easy enough." said a overconfident Knuckles. Tails pulled out his X-Buster like weapon from Sonic Battle.
"Don't get your hopes up yet, you guys. They may try to attack us again" said Tails as if he were a battle commander. As soon as he said these words, the enemy unit ran back into the great hall. This time, from all sides!
"Don't panic, comrades." explained Meta-Knight. "All we need to do is to use Roman tactics. Grab any sort of shield you can find and surround Kirby, Mario, Luigi, Shadow, Tails, and Warlord. These guys that are attacking us are nothing but barbarians." The others grabbed shields that were on the ground and flat pieces of a table to cover themselves from all attack. "When I give the order, use all your projectile abilities and weapons. We'll show them what we are made of!" The enemies are as close as 5 inches away from the defenders. Then Meta-Knight gave the order. "FILL THEM WITH LEAD!!!" the old knight ordered with a wave of his sword. Soon enough, projectiles of all sorts engulfed the enemy forces. Many ran for their lives if they were still alive. Yellow energy spears, laser blasts, and fireballs flew from the circle at the enemy forces. The black terrapin soon realized what is happening with his unit and growled angrily.
"How dare they mess with my unit!" the black terrapin yelled. "Who is the fool that is giving that small band such defensive tactics!?"
"It's a star warrior by the name of Meta-Knight, Lord Slaz." a terrapin replied, who trembled with terror. Slaz gave him a cold stare. "Send that dreamlander this message. I shall challenge him to a sword duel!!!"
The terrapin ran off to deliver this message. Mario saw him running towards them.
"Meta-Knight, what should we do about that koopa?" Mario asked, pointing to the terrapin.
"Let him in, but if he makes any stupid moves, feel free to kill him." Meta-Knight ordered as the terrapin messager ran in, regaining his breathe. "Spit it out, what do you want? You're already wasting my time."
"I came to deliver this message. My commander wants to challenge you in a sword duel. Do you accept this challenge?" the terrapin said, staring at Clawz coldly.
"I accept." said Meta-Knight, drawing out his sword. "Now get outta my face!"
The terrapin ran back to Slaz in fear. "He accepts, my lord." he said, regaining his breathe.
Slaz drew out his black colored sword. "Good, lets get this show on the road." he snarled as he walked towards Meta-Knight. The heroes were about to attack, but Meta-Knight stopped them.
"I stick with my knightly codes. I do not need assistance." Meta- Knight said as calm as ever.
"I am Slaz, Bowser's greatest general! And I shall eliminate you!!" yelled Slaz as he charged at Meta-Knight. At the last minute, Meta-Knight dodged the slash and slashed at the black terrapin's unprotected back. Slaz's blood dripped out of the black armor and Meta-Knight's sword dug deep into Slaz's flesh. Slaz tried to pull the sword out, but he fell on the ground, dead. Nobody could survive one slash from Meta-Knight's blade. He cleaned the sword and put it in his sheath. The enemy soldiers could not believe what has just happened. Slaz, their mighty leader, dead from one slice in the back. They soon bowed and begged Meta-Knight to spare them.
"I don't see why not. Lock them in their own dungeons." said Meta- Knight. Mario and Luigi threw the troops inside the prisons (freeing the ones already in there, of course). Mario and Luigi came back.
"Let's get a Bowser." Mario stated as they kicked open the throne room door. There sat Bowser, but he looked really different. He wore neon green armor, and in his left hand, a long sword.
"Ahh, so the fools have finally arrived." said Bowser, slicing at air with his long sword. SSJ Sonic and Meta-Knight drew their swords, but Mario and Luigi shook their heads.
"This is a our fight." said Mario.
"Aye." agreed Luigi. Bowser only laughed.
"You are either brave or your stupid, Mario Brothers!" Bowser laughed evilly. "But enough! You'll both witness the true power of this armor and sword!" Saying this, he began to glow a bright green color. His eyes turned into a shiny red. The long sword had a dark aura flowing around it. "Are you ready to see your deaths?" Bowser got into a battle pose.
Mario and Luigi did the same. "Big deal, you're glowing! We'll still whip your scaly behind!" Bowser then jumped into the air, surprising much higher than Mario or Luigi. Mario flew into the air (he still has his cape) and Luigi ran around. All the others could do was watch, except Clawz. He always had a rivalry against Bowser and jumped into the battle. Bowser was surprised at first, but soon retaliated by smacking Clawz with his claw. Clawz smirked and removed the blood dripping from his mouth.
"Is that the best you can do? Remenber, I can use the power of darkness!" Clawz then shot a Nightmare (Bulzeeb's move from Bomberman 64, The Second Attack) from his hand. Bowser took the blow and was thrown against the wall. Mario and Luigi stared at Clawz in amusement. Clawz only smirked.
"A friend of mine taught me it." he explained. Bowser got back up and charged at Clawz and the Mario bros at a surprisingly high speed. Clawz and Luigi were ready though. Clawz shot a Nightmare and Luigi fired a fireball. Mario who was still midair jumped on Bowser's head to distract him. The Nightmare and fireball mixed together and gave Bowser quite a blow and he was thrown back. Clawz drew out his sword and dashed at Bowser. Bad move as Bowser smacked him with the flat side of his blade, sending Clawz far away. Clawz coughed out blood, but he got back up and charged at Bowser.
"DIE YOU SON OF A--!" Clawz screamed as he stabbed Bowser in the stomach. Bowser went back, holding the wound with his right hand. He dropped his long sword and fell on his knees. SSJ Sonic came up to him and placed the blade of his sword up to his neck.
"What's the meaning of this? Who's your commander? What are you plotting?" SSJ asked. Bowser remained silent. SSJ kicked him in the stomach, causing Bowser to spit blood. "Answer me! Damn you!" SSJ yelled.
"Ulg............. I'll talk." Bowser said weakly. "The meaning? So all of my allies can get what they want. I want Mushroom Kingdom, another wants Mobius, and the other wants Dreamland. My last ally, however, I'm not sure what he wants." Bowser coughed. "My commander? There is no commander over me and my allies." Bowser continued. "Our plot? To get rid of our problems and finally take over what we want." Bowser laughed evilly. "You won't get anymore answers from me, thanks to Francis over there. I hope you rot in the afterlife............fools........." Bowser feel on the ground, the armor and sword both devolved into the air. Clawz grumbled and began searching for the treasury. SSJ Sonic sheathed his sword. SSJ Sonic began thinking to himself.
'That was demon technology alright. No way that armor and sword could dissolve like that normally! Dark Demon is obviously helping them.' SSJ Sonic thought. He turned to his comrades.
"Where to next?" SSJ Sonic asked.
"Dreamland!" exclaimed Kirby in his baby voice.
"I don't see why not. You have us to guide you around there." concluded Meta-Knight for Kirby.
Shadow nodded. "Let's go then."
The group finds a portal in the next room. Clawz follows them.
"I'm going with you. You'll need someone who can use Dark powers." Clawz stated.
Meta-Knight sighed. "Okay then, lets go."
The group went inside the portal, and they disappeared.

A/N: Looks like our heroes are going to Dreamland next. What will they encounter on the way? Your ideas may be used if you suggest me any! Was this chapter, good, bad, I don't know? I'll see you on chapter 6!
