SMASH X

Chapter six- The Plot Thickens

Fox had Gollum in a choke hold while Samus grabbed his legs trying to stop the ghoul from moving but that proved very difficult, "Alright short stuff...grrrr, were gonna have a rest now", Samus said, then she leaned forward and bashed Gollum on the head with her gun, knocking him out.
Pikachu and the others were holding the Heartless at bay, at least for now. Mario, Link and Yoshi slid back and hit a house, they got up slowly as Inuyasha approached them panting, "Weaklings…huff, puff…Darkness will rule all" Inuyasha growled, Link stood up and pointed his sword at the possessed ninja, "I've heard that to many times for it to mean anything to me anymore" he yelled. Inuyasha leapt up and swung his sword, Link blocked the blow and Mario kicked him back, Yoshi rolled at full speed, but Inuyasha jumped up, Yoshi leapt out of the egg and grabbed Inuyahsa in a full nelson lock, Mario then quickly ran and tackled him down, "Now Link!" Yoshi screamed, the hyrulian jumped up and zoomed straight down slashing the ring on Inu's throat, the ring split in half and disintegrated.

Gollum awoke and saw the situation, "Oh no, precious the ninja is normal again" he said to himself, he then struggled out of Samus' arms and made a run for it, "We made it precious" the ghoul laughed, then ran straight into DK's fist, "Watch that first step" the kong giggled. The heroes all surrounded Gollum, the ghoul was sweating a rain storm. "Alright gruesome, I think we had a little chat" Mega Man said aiming his gun at Gollum, "Grrrr my master will strike you all down were you stand!" Gollum drooled, "Your master…you must work for Quan Chi, that's why you were after the key" Pikachu said charging up a bolt, Gollum turned to the pok'emon, "Quan Chi?" Gollum asked looking very confused, suddenly the clouds opened up and a huge fiery beam came down and struck Gollum, disintegrating him quick instantly before he even made a peep!
"Oh my god!" Kirby shouted staring into the crater the blast made, Inuyasha approached the heroes, "Someone obviously wants to keep him quiet" the ninja said placing his sword back in its holster. Mario and the others turned to face Inuyasha, "Thank you for your help…with that ring around my neck I could see what I was doing…but I couldn't stop it…grrrr, im weak" Inuyasha turned to leave, "Wait Inuyasha" Link called out, the ninja turned around to face Link, "I've been down that road…seeing yourself doing evil deeds but cannot stop it…It doesn't make you weak, you weren't in control, you cannot blame yourself" Link yelled. Inuyasha smiled, "You are indeed soulful Link…and I am sorry behavior earlier, you all are anything but weak" the ninja apologized, "Don't worry about it, oh by the way…Gollum said earlier that you were friends with Sora" Mega Man replied, "Yes, me and Sora were like brothers, for a long time we fought against the Heartless on this world and at the Temple of Chaos, were Ansem resided, when Sora defeated Ansem and the key was given to the doctor, Sora asked me to watch Dr. Light and Mega Man and make sure no harm would come to them, but the Heartless had grown so rapid I just arrived here when you were all already fighting, I knew Mega Man would be safe with you" Inuyasha explained, "So you guys came here to take me the Temple of Order?" Mega Man asked, "Yeah…Raiden says it's to dangerous here now, if you come to the temple he'll be able to protect you" said Fox. The robot sighed, "Your right… but can we go back to the lag first, just so I can say goodbye to Dr. Light, he's like a father to me?" Mega Man asked, "Of course you can" Kirby replied. Inuyasha waved goodbye to the heroes and leapt into the trees, Mario and the smashers walked into Dr. Light's cruiser and Mega Man jumped on Rush, they all then took off back towards Dr. Lights lab, their mission was almost complete…or was it?

The shadow still sat in his chamber observing his crystal ball, "Gollum almost blew my cover…never mind, those fools still have no idea" he said, then laughed out loud. Another figure entered the room and bowed to the shadow, "Master, I trust the key will be in your hands very soon" the figure said, the shadow turned his face away from the crystal ball and towards the figure in the doorway, "You are correct Darth Maul…but these smashers can still prove to be a nuisance when my intensions are revealed, when I have the key, you must dispose of them as quickly as possible" the shadow said to the sith, Maul smiled and rose to his feet, "They wont even pose a challenge to me master, you will succeed" the sith answered, then turned and left the room.
