SMASH Z
Chapter five- The need to Split
Back at Sephiroth's lair, Princess Peach was wide awake now and standing in her cell looking out of the window, a tear rolled down her face as she knew her fate on this dreadful night. "There is no need to cry princess" Sephiroth said behind her, Peach turned around to face the evil angel, "Why are you doing this? You have enough power as it is, why do you want more!" she yelled, Sephiroth approached her and moved his hand to her face, she quickly pushed it away, "Don't you dare touch me!" she screamed at him, Sephiroth laughed, "Such a shame, you would have made such a fine queen, but as all know, power comes before pleasure" he said, with that he turned around and exited her cell. Peach turned back to the window, "Mario, DK, all of you…" she wept, "Please hurry".
Back at Goku's house, Cloud had pinned a map to Sephiroth's lair on the wall and explained the plan and different attack paths. "You two saiyan's will go in threw the roof, that is were an attack will be most expected, so you bombarded the castle your energy attacks from the sky and distract the dark ones while the rest of us will enter the castle threw the different sides" Cloud instructed. "Right we'll do our best" Goku said nodding, Vegeta turned away and sneered, "As long as im not left out of a fight" he said doing one of his evil little smiles. After further planning each member new what they had to do and were ready to for tomorrow….because it was going to be the biggest day of each of their lives.
That night, all the Smashers could hardly sleep. Fox sat on the roof of Goku's house and looked up at the stars were he was so familiar. "Hey Fox" said Samas as she jumped up to the roof too, "You need some company?" she asked, "Very much so" Fox replied, "Thanks….so could I" Samas replied. The bounty hunter took a seat next to the kitsune, "Are you scared Fox…..about tomorrow?" she asked, Fox looked over to her and smiled, "Terrified" he answered honestly, "but I'll make you a deal, if we get out of this alive and make it back home, I get to buy you dinner" he said, Samas smiled back at him, "Deal" she replied and they both looked back up at the stars.
The next morning, the eleven fighters suited up and followed Cloud to the location of Sephiroth's lair, which was quite a distance, about six miles away and over a wide river until finally in a clearing in the middle of a forest of mountains. "This is it, I have been chasing Sephiroth for years, and now finally he will pay for what he has done to this world….to Aerif" Cloud said silently. The fighters pressed on.
Meanwhile, un-noticed by the heroes, Frieza, Cell and Buu continued their attacks on the two cites of the Technos and the Magi. Many people from each city fled in terror as the villains launched attack after attack destroying buildings and innocent lives. "Hmm quite a satisfying assault" Frieza chuckled looking down at the large portion of ruins of the Magi city, Cell nodded "This was the most devastating attack yet, a war is inevitable now" the android bellowed. After the attacks, the mayor of the Technos approached his soldiers, "Enough is enough, These Magi scum have attack our families for the last time, no more will we put up with this, I say…we will wipe them all out….right now!". Little did they know, the Magi were planning the exact same strategy.
The fighters made their way down the last mountain. A small group of wire frame fighters attacked them earlier, but were destroyed with ease. Vegeta sneered as he threw away the last fighter, "Perfetic, I sure hope this Sephiroth posses more of a challenge than these fools" the price said, Goku landed next to him, "Hopefully we wont have to fight him yet, if we can save the princess we can stop him from becoming a god" he said, "But if it comes to it, I'll be ready for him, for what he did to my friends, he will pay" he added. "Im ready for action, I want a rematch on that Cell guy" Kirby said punching the air, DK patted Kirby's head, "Settle down little buddy, were not trying to start a fight" he chuckled. Cloud led the others further towards the lair, sunset was hours away. As they approached the building the smashers looked up at the huge black palace, the place was brimming with evil and somewhere in there; Mario knew his love pleaded for freedom. They were just about to put their plan into action when a beeping was heard from Cloud's belt, the warrior reached down and pulled out a communicator and held it to his ear, "What is it guardian?" he asked, Wishbear spoke to Cloud threw the phone, "Cloud, we have been trying to reach you, Frieza and the others attacked the Magi and Technos undetected and they are both readying their troops! It's starting…the war is starting!" the little Carebear shouted, Cloud growled, "You have to abort mission" Wishbear added, "But guardian, we have never been this close…i…I can't" he said, "Cloud please, if they fight we are all doomed when Sephiroth raises the dragon" Wishbear pleaded, a small tear dropped from Cloud's face as he dropped the communicator. "What's going on Cloud?" Link asked. Cloud explained the situation to the others. "We have to stop them from fighting!" Pikachu cried, "I may never get a chance like this again, Sephiroth has to pay for what he did to Aerif!" Cloud screamed and stomped towards the castle, Mario spoke up, "Ok, I'll a go with a Cloud, Goku, can a you take the others and a stop the war?" the plumber asked, "No problem, with those shields the guardians gave us we may not have to do much to keep them apart" the saiyan said putting up his thumb, "Im going with you Mario, you may need help" Yoshi squeaked, Mario nodded and the fighters, after saying their goodbyes went their separate ways, Mario and Yoshi caught up to Cloud while Goku popped open some plane capsules and led Vegeta and the smashers to the site of the war.
