Ummm…well…here's chapter 14! This chapter, well, the ending to be specific, will probably be the one to make you fall off that chair and scream "WTF!" or something like that…and if it does, I did my job! n.n

Falco: Well, we start the Final Liberation…but the chapter name…

Pikachu: At least we'll be able to see the others again, right?

Roy: Yeah…but then—

Falco & Pikachu: ROY!

Don't mind the pyromaniac here; you'll soon learn what he means. I'm hoping this will be a long chapter; I'll try my best not to rush. With all the happenings…especially at the end…you'll hate me, I know it. Anyway, Roy, disclaim.

Roy: …RF only owns Master Hand's, Crazy Hand's, and Giga Bowser's pasts, Mrs. Nina Hand, the GateKeeper Nivian Lant, the Demon King of legend, and the story. Everything else isn't hers, so don't think it is…

He's in an apprehensive mood…but he has good reason, right? Chapter 14 away!

Giga Bowser watched; oh how he watched…

His eyes never left the screen as he watched Link and Ganondorf tore through his army. His eyes watched as the two reclaimed their home.

"Look at them, how they fight," Giga Bowser muttered. "Will they be able to survive my plan? Or will they fall? I can't wait to see how it goes."

He was in his throne room; a wide hall decorated with wall decorations made of silk, colored red and black, while a long line of blood red carpet stretched from the door to his throne.

Tucked away in the corner was the cage that still held Marth hostage, yet this time, not only was his spirit locked away, but his body too. It would only be a matter of time before all the wrong Bowser's ruthless uncle did corrected itself; the Mushroom Kingdom's ruins would be gone, as if they never existed…Lake Hylia would return to its former glory; Hyrule Castle would return to its land.

Like any of that was in the angel's mind, however…

Giga Bowser pressed a button on his throne, and Link and Ganondorf vanished; replaced with Fox and D.K. fighting in the hot tropical jungles.

"They fight with such determination as well," Giga Bowser muttered. "They fight thinking they will only fight me…how wrong they so are…I can't wait to see the horror on their faces…don't you?"

Giga Bowser turned to the prince; who did not even move in response. He leaned against the wall once again, but was sitting this time, and was not even bothering showing his face to the one who loved to torture him in this fashion.

"Look at this; it's the new couple," Giga Bowser muttered, pressing the button and watching Luigi and Peach fight in the desert. "How well she adapts; perhaps that's why she's a smasher, eh?" He got no response. "Ah well, we shall see how she, and the rest of them, can cope with my new plan…actually, only I will be able to do that, won't I?"

The mutant koopa laughed as he pressed the button a third time. His grin widened as he watched Roy and Kirby train.

"I suggest you look up, prince," Giga Bowser said. "After all, your brother fights with such fire in his eyes. Don't you want to see him one last time?" Marth didn't respond yet again. "Three weeks, prince. In three weeks, they will decimate most of my army. In three weeks; they will come, and you'll—"

"Lord Giga Bowser," Nana came into the room. "Everything is set."

"Then we shall wait…" Giga Bowser said.

"GET ME OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE!" Bowser roared as loud as he could. "GET ME OUT OF HERE SO I CAN RIP YOUR THROAT OUT! THAT'S RIGHT! I'M TALKING TO YOU, DEAR UNCLE!"

"Bowser, shut up!" Ness said, annoyed. "He's not going to bother anymore! We did all we could, but we failed. We're stuck here, and have no idea what the hell's going on."

"What about Young Link?" Mr. Game and Watch asked, pointing to the sleeping boy. The Triforce glow a pure gold; no wonder he managed to sleep through Bowser.

"We'll have to wait for him to wake up," Popo replied. "Man, I wish I could be that heavy a sleeper. Good night!" He fell onto his back and closed his eyes.

"Wake up kid," Bowser muttered bitterly. As if he heard the Koopa King; Young Link did wake. Popo opened his eyes; sleep refusing to come.

"What's going on?" Ness asked.

"Three weeks," Young Link replied. "Nina Hand said it'll take three weeks."

"Three more weeks in here," Bowser muttered. He sighed. "Let's see if we can survive…"

And three weeks came and went. Master Hand waited in the port, ignoring the looks from the civilians. Most have never seen the great Master Hand, for he was said to never leave the mansion, and yet here he is? They couldn't help the staring. But it did the glove no good…

It only brought back the guilt…

A boat landed in the port, its horn loudly proclaimed its arrival. Master Hand sighed in relief and watched as people got off; among them Link and Ganondorf.

Their clothing was torn, they bore bruises, yet they both had a smile on their faces.

"Master Hand, Hyrule is back to normal," Link said breathlessly. "We saw the castle return as we left…"

"That…might not be a good thing," Master Hand said. If he could frown, he would. "It might mean Giga Bowser's up to something else…and we have no clue what that could be."

"We can fight him off!" Ganondorf proclaimed. "I've never felt stronger! I know we will be able to win!"

"Then let me do this," Master Hand said, healing the hero's and king's bruises and scars and restoring their clothing. "Head to the Angels' Door; Nina will be there." Link and Ganondorf nodded and ran off, although the glove could hear fan girls shrieking in joy. Link would never change…

A good ten minuets went by before a second boat harbored; this time Luigi and Peach descended the boat, along with a few other passengers.

"Master Hand!" Peach cried, waving. Like Link and Ganondorf, they bore scratches and scars, ripped clothing, and smiles. Master Hand grinned as they walked over, holding hands.

"How were things?" Master Hand asked.

"Terrible," Luigi replied. "Yet after we finished all the frames off, things turned back to normal."

"It means all the destruction caused when Giga Bowser took over is reversing itself," Master Hand said. The two looked relieved. "But worse things can happen. Head to the Angels' Door; Nina will be there." Master Hand healed and restored the two like he did Link and Ganondorf, and they left.

The third boat harbored, yet it came from the north; it wouldn't hold Fox and D.K. The fourth boat was from the south, but wasn't the one the two humanoids took. The fifth boat was on the dot, as the kitsune and ape were the first to descend the boat.

"We're back," Fox proclaimed happily. Unlike the other four, the two didn't have any injuries. "We rested there," the kitsune confessed sheepishly. "But our clothing…"

"I can take care of that," Master Hand said, fixing the fox's shirt and pants and the ape's tie. "Now, head for the Angels' Door; Nina will be there." The two nodded and left.

Now only Kirby and Roy were left. They too probably rested in Eternia before heading back to the island. He looked up as the Chariot flew towards the Door.

"Lots of luck to you all," Master Hand muttered. "I'll be there shortly; then Nina and I will follow you. Take good care of yourselves…"

"Way to finally get here!" Link said, as Kirby and Roy walked up to the six smashers and the angel waiting. They stood right in front of the huge door. It had not changed in size or appearance. But now that it was close, they could see it better; angel characters surrounded the archway, and it was colored every color in existence, all blended perfectly and magically.

"Sorry about that," Kirby said. "Umm…technical difficulties…"

"Look! The others!" Peach said, waving to the dots that were the watching smashers.

"Are you ready?" Nina asked, holding Sanctus Lancea. Roy stepped forward and took the lance from her. "Step in front of the Door, and place the lance's head onto the Door." Roy did as she said. "Now, speak with your heart; the lance will translate your words. Tell the Door who you are, and open it."

With closed eyes, Roy thought hard of his brother. He could hear himself say the words: "Please let me open the Door; I am Roy Shino, brother of the Door Guardian. I only wish to save him…I want to see him again…"

Everyone else, excluding Nina, gasped as the characters lit up, and the colors danced. The lance was pulled into the door; Roy struggling to keep a grip on it.

"Let it go," Nina said. Roy opened his eyes, turned to Nina, and nodded. The lance vanished through, and the Door opened. Did Marth easily pass through like that as well? When Giga Bowser merely placed the angel's hand onto the door? Roy could picture it in his head…

"Now go," Nina's voice sounded far away. Link punched the pyro swordsman's arm, Roy snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sorry," He said. "Okay, weapons out." He unsheathed the Sword of Seals. Link unsheathed the Master Sword and swung it as he grabbed his Mirror Shield. Luigi pulled out his hammer, giving it a few test swings. Peach took out a black metal frying pan, giving it a few test whacks. Fox pulled out his blaster as Kirby, D.K, and Ganondorf cracked their knuckles.

"Jeffery and I will join you shortly. For now, go, and good luck," Nina said. The eight smashers nodded, faced the opened doorway, and ran through.

For Luigi, Fox, and Peach, it was déjà vu. The inside hadn't changed at all, and as they ran, all eight could feel exhaustion take them at every step.

"The doors, they're opened," Peach muttered. Sure enough; the doors that lined the sides were opened fully. Only darkness was visible, but soon 30 cruel wireframes marched out. "Wireframes!"

"We can take them! Let's go!" Roy shouted, charging up to a group of seven and incinerating them completely with a fully charged Flare Blade.

Link pulled off a Spin Attack, slicing a good eight wireframes cleanly in two, while Ganondorf knocked ten frames into total submission. Fox and Kirby, the latter copying Fox and having his blaster, rapidly shot the remaining five wireframes while the combined force of D.K., Luigi, and Peach completely decimated the said frames.

The exhaustion fled, as if the frames were the ones responsible. Or perhaps it was because of the side doors. At any rate, the eight continued on their way, running past opened doors, reaching the giant double doors that stopped Fox, Luigi, and Peach once before. Not to mention the final side door on their right was still closed.

"What now?" Kirby asked. Roy frowned, thinking, but then the doors opened themselves. "That was convenient!"

"Let's go," Roy muttered, and the two continued onward.

"Welcome…" They had reached the throne room. It had not changed, except the fact that the five trapped in the dungeons were now trapped in the corner where Marth was, and the clone and the ten frames that betrayed Master Hand were there, not Giga Bowser. "We knew you would come. Your strength has improved."

"No duh," D.K. said. "We crush you AND Giga Bowser, and we'll win war!"

"You have no idea what we're planning," Nana said, frowning. "You believe you will have no trouble winning…you're wrong."

"Enough!" Fox shouted. "You betrayed us! You and those damned frames standing with you! We'll kill you all!"

Fox and Kirby began rapidly shooting at their foes. D.K. and Ganondorf charged while Peach ran over towards the captured five. Luigi and Link also charged forward, but Roy didn't move.

It took only five minuets of special attacks before the ten frames were killed and Nana was fatally wounded. Link stepped forward and grabbed the clone.

"Why did you do it?" The hero asked.

"The closed door will open," Nana muttered. "Head down…the stairs…you'll find…what…you…se...ek…the…re…" And with that, she moved no more.

The cage had broken, and Bowser, Mr. Game and Watch, Ness, Popo, and Young Link were freed. Popo and Ness armed themselves with hammer and bat respectively.

"Big me!" Young Link happily jumped into his elder self's arms. "I'm glad to see you well!"

"We have no time to catch up," Roy muttered. "Let's head back…I want to see my brother…"

They turned around, and noticed that the closed door was opened. Roy rushed down, quickly followed by the others.

Staircase after staircase…and even more staircases…how many did they travel down? After what seemed like hours, Roy finally stumbled upon a metal door, slightly ajar. Was Giga Bowser beyond it, waiting for them? Was his brother there?

Roy took a deep breath, and with the other smashers by his side, passed through the door…

It was a crypt; the walls and floor were a pale gray. There were multiple candles lining the walls; all shining with a red/orange flame, and a black carpet lay on the floor.

"Good afternoon, smashers," Thirteen angry glares turned to the source of this voice; Giga Bowser. "I'm very, very impressed with you all. Not only have you've gotten stronger, you've become a team. There is no doubt in my mind how well Jeffery did with you all."

"You have no right to speak to us," Link said angrily, holding the Master Sword in front of him. Young Link took out his Kokiri Sword and copied his older self. "You will be sealed again for all your treachery!"

"Really, smasher?" Giga Bowser asked. "Is that what you all think? Well, before that happens, I would like you to turn your attention over here. I have a little show prepare for you all."

"Show?" Roy asked, as he and the others now focused on what lay in the center on the other side of the room. A tomb, colored the same as the walls and floor, was before them. Directly in front of it was…Roy's eyes went wide in fear. "BROTHER!"

Sure enough, it was the angel. He was on his knees, was he hurt? His eyes showed pain…Roy angrily charged forward; he only took a few steps before crashing into an invisible wall and flung backwards.

"A wall?" Bowser asked. Giga Bowser began laughing. "Damn you! Play fair!"

"I'm not the one you'll be fighting," Giga Bowser said. "Do you know who resides in this tomb? The Demon King sleeps here; sealed away by a previous Door Guardian years and years ago. But now…now he shall rise."

"Wait…the Demon King? As in the Demon King Nox, just as equal in power as the Devil King?" Peach asked.

"Oh yes, dear smasher," Giga Bowser said. "He will awaken, and I will join the ranks of the devils. And the two kings of the Underworld Realm will rule over you all!"

"No! This can't happen!" Desperation, fear, and sorrow…everyone could feel it. Roy shook his head before continuing. "Please, don't do this!"

"Too late!" Giga Bowser said. "The time has come…"

"Marth, get the hell out of there!" Ganondorf shouted.

"I…I can't," Finally, the angel spoke. "I can't move! I'm…sorry."

"You good for nothing son of a bitch!" Bowser cried. "You dare call yourself my uncle? You're only a monster! That's right; a f—"

"ENOUGH!" Giga Bowser shouted, cutting his nephew. He turned to the tomb. "Hear my voice, great Demon King. The time for your resurrection has come! Rise and awaken, great King Nox!"

The tomb's lid had slid off, falling onto the side, and a great wind blew out the candles. The smashers' glares turned to wide eyes as a hand grabbed the side of the tomb.

As all of this was happening, Mario, Dr. Mario, Zelda, and Jigglypuff were located right outside the mansion, waiting. Dr. Mario was the first to notice the darkness; it was as if the sun itself had just gone out.

"Huh? What…what is this?" He asked, turning to the sky and gasping. The other three copied him.

Over at the Angels' Door, Pichu was the first to notice the change.

"Look!" He shouted. The colors had all merged into a deep black, while the characters began flashing a blood red. The darkness that startled Dr. Mario and the others startled them too. "Oh man, Falcon! You were right! Dad! What is…?"

"I don't know," Pikachu responded. "But…but the sky…"

Near the southwestern beach, Crazy Hand was watching the sea. Then the same darkness took over where he floated as well. "What is going on? The sky…it's turning black?" Realization hit him. "It has happened…"

Back beneath the Angels' Door, wide eyes turned to angry glares once again. For the spirit of the Demon King had emerged fully.

His skin was pale, although that might've been because he was a spirit. He had dark black hair, ruby/garnet mixed eyes, and a thin mouth. He wore a black shirt; the sleeves reaching his elbows, and long black pants. A blood red robe was wrapped around his body, gently falling to the back of his knees.

"Who has awakened me?" His voice was surprising fair. Giga Bowser straightened himself in triumph.

"It would be I, great Demon King," He said.

"Genes…" The spirit muttered. "Hmmm…very interesting. Now, where is my vessel."

"V—vessel?" Roy whispered in horror. He couldn't stand, and fell to the ground.

"It's right in front of you!" Giga Bowser said, gesturing to the angel. "The Door Guardian of this pathetic planet."

"Door Guardian? How sweet," The spirit said. "Revenge for being sealed away by him…so long ago…" He leered at his target before lunging. A white light enveloped the place, followed by the shaking of the earth.

Mario, Dr. Mario, Zelda, and Jigglypuff couldn't keep their feet, and fell to the ground, the two latter screaming.

Pichu clung on to his father as both fell to the ground. Samus, Falcon, Mewtwo, and Falco tried to steady themselves, but also fell to the ground. Yoshi was already on the grass, and was yelling loudly.

People everywhere were panicking; first the sky grows dark; then the ground begins to shake? What's going on? Is it the end of the world?

Then the shaking stops, but the people aren't relieved. Something terrible has happened…they all knew it. They just didn't know what it was.

Glares were once again gone; each of the thirteen smashers stared in horror; weapons falling to the ground and fists vanishing as the light dimmed.

Master Hand and Nina entered the room, the latter armed with her book. It joined the frying pan, hammers, bat, and swords as Nina brought both hands to her mouth in horror.

"No…" Master Hand could only whisper. "It can't be…we…we were…we were too late…"

Ness: NO! SHE'S NOT ENDING THE CHAPTER HERE!

Marth: Yeah, she is…


Yoshi: Holy dinos…O.o

Ness: For those of you who played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, you probably recognize this ending scene. We do not wish to specify where exactly the scene takes place, but if you don't know, then no worries. RoyalFanatic also wants to say she doesn't own Paper Mario: TTYD.

Yoshi: Holy dinos…O.o

Marth: Uh…review!
