Chapter 14: Smashers vs. Eggman! The Dark Reactor Found at Last!
We last saw the Smashers inside a room filled with robots, which was what they hope for.
A robot points its arm cannon at Mario and says in a robotic voice, "Surrender yourself now. You have no escape. All your base are belong to us."
"That-a quote-a sounds vely familia," thought Mario to himself. He jumps up into the air and slams the heel of his foot down on the robot's head, crushing it. "I'm not-a gonna surrenda," says Mario after landing from the jump, with the smashed head robot behind him."
G&W confronts a robot with a bug spray and says, "Check out my corrosive gas! It corrodes everything!" The robot replies, "I am not flesh, so I do not need to breathe. Gas attacks will have no use against us robots." G&W pushes the handle and out sprays purple gas. When the gas comes in contact with the robot, the robot starts to rust and malfunctions. "Don't think you are immune to gas just because you're not flesh!" says G&W.
Nana is still being chased around by a robot. "HELP!" Popo hears her cry and comes to the rescue by pounding the robot with his hammer.
"Thanks! Brother!"
"Not a problem, sister!"
But the robot he pounded just now is still active, so the Ice Climbers decide to use Hammer Squall. They hold each other with one hand and in the other hand they hold the hammer by its handle tip. They start waking in circles very fast until they are spinning like a cyclone. They slowly move towards the robot and batter it into pieces. After they are done spinning, their heads are really dizzy. "Oh… The world is spinning…" says Nana, whose eyes are in swirls.
3 robots charge toward Mewtwo while wielding beam sabers. "Star War fans, aren't they?" Mewtwo thought to himself. A robot jumps into the air and raises the beam saber, ready to slash Mewtwo vertically. Mewtwo immediately fires a laser beam out from his eye and it blasts the robot, destroying it. Seeing one of them die, the other two robots charges at Mewtwo to avenge for their comrade. Mewtwo turns around and swings his tail horizontally, batting away those two robots. When the two fly into a wall, Mewtwo fires a Shadow Ball at them to blow them up.
Meanwhile, Roy is doing very well. He hasn't got any scratches at all.
Fox and Samus are surrounded by about 8 robots. "Surrender now," says one of the robots. Fox turns to Samus and says, "Back to back!" But Samus protests, "It will hit our comrades!"
"Then tell them to DUCK!" shouts Fox. He shouted so loud that the others heard it, so they quickly duck. "Duck? Where?" asks Parry, but Mario immediately pulls him down to the floor.
Fox and Samus stands back to back against each other and slowly spins in circles while shooting there beam guns outwards. This way, all the robots were shot down.
"Can you please try something less dangerous next time?" Roy asks them. Suddenly, a large robot appears from behind his back and swings its large fist at the back of Roy's head, knocking him out. "Don't-a do that-a to our comrade!" screams Mario upon seeing that. He runs toward the robot to attack it, but the robot punches Mario's stomach and sends him flying. Samus quickly fires a super missile at the robot, blasting it, but one missile isn't enough to destroy it and it starts to approach the remaining Smashers.
"It's after us!" screams Nana. "What do we do!"
"Scream for help!" cries G&W. Fox fires his laser gun rapidly at the robot, but it has no effect. Suddenly, the robot gets slashed in half and explodes. We see Roy standing behind the robot, holding the Sealed Sword in his hand. "You deserve it."
"I don't think it's necessary to use the holy weapon," says Mewtwo. "But that robot just won't fall!" Popo tells him. "What else could we do?"
"By the way, where is Sonic?" asks Nana. "Maybe they're fighting Eggman already," replies Parry. "I think I can sense them," says Mewtwo. He sits onto the floor cross-legged and closes his eyes. "I see… I see… YAH!"
"What did you see!" asks Fox.
"I see water! Lots of water!"
"You're really thirsty, aren't you?"
"They're in the room next to us!" says Mewtwo while pointing towards the right wall.
On the other side, Eggman is gaining the upper hand, since it's a battle above water. Tails, Sonic, and Amy are riding on the Tornado 2, sailing around the room to avoid Eggman's attacks. "You cheater!" says Sonic angrily at Eggman. "It's not fair fighting on water!"
"It's not fair that you can run fast too!" replies Eggman. "What you do come back to you!"
"The Tornado is running low in gas!" exclaims Tails. "We're done for!"
"NOOOO!" screams Amy. "I'm not married yet!"
Eggman raises his mech's metal tentacle above the Tornado 2. "It's finished!" Just at this moment, the left wall explodes and it catches their attention. When the smoke clears, a hole is seen on it and Samus is behind it. "The wall is down! I see lots of water, just as Mewtwo said!" Roy pokes his head through the hole and says, "Looks like we found the villain!"
"So you are the Smashers!" says Eggman. "I was just expecting you guys! Come down and fight me!"
"You're opponent is me!" Sonic protests to Eggman. Eggman ignores him and uses the tentacle to push the Tornado aside.
"I'm looking forward to fight you!" says Roy excitedly as he pulls out the Sealed Sword again. Eggman stretches one of the tentacles towards Roy. Roy jumps into the air and above the water. He raises the Sealed Sword above his head and the sword starts to get covered in fire. When the tentacle is about two meters from him, he swings the sword hard, making it shoot large fireballs! The fireballs hit the tentacle and burns through it, and it continues to head for Eggman! "WHAT!"
The fireballs hit the octopus mech and explode. Eggman flies out from the explosion and crashes into the other side of the room through the wall. After that, Roy drops down into the water with a splash.
"Amazing!" exclaims Sonic. "Looks like I've underestimated them!"
"Roy! Are you still alive?" Samus shouts down towards the water. Roy emerges from the water and replies, "Of course I'm alive!"
After a little while, the three rodents are hauled out of water.
"What's next?" asks Popo. The wall next to them explodes and out steps an approximately 3 meters tall robot walker. Eggman is seen on top of the robot's cockpit controlling it. "I guess it's answered…" replies Tails.
"You Smashers better not make a fool out of me!" says Eggman angrily. "I confess I am not prepared for these comings! Surely this Egg Walker is enough to crush you all!"
"Oh yeah?" says Sonic, getting into battle stance. "Let's duel!" Roy pushes Sonic aside and says, "You're almost always fighting him, right? Let us Smashers deal with him. Plus, he wants to pick a fight with us."
"Yes, fighting you guys would be more fun than fighting the hedgehog!"
"Oh well," says Sonic with a shrug. "I'll just play the audience."
The Smashers all gather in front of the Egg Walker and prepare themselves for it. "Are you going to begin?" asks Eggman. "Because I am!" The abdomen of the robot walker opens and fires a large laser beam. The Smashers quickly jump aside to avoid it. Roy rushes at the walker and swings his sword at the legs, but the walker hops up into the air and through the ceiling! "What-a jump!" exclaims Mario.
"Come up here if you want to fight!" Eggman shouts down from above the ceiling. "There's more space up here!"
Mario jumps up the hole in the ceiling easily, so does the others, except for Roy, who has to be pulled up by Mewtwo.
"Should we follow them?" asks Tails, who is quite eager to see them fight. "Why not?" replies Sonic.
Up on the roof, the battle rages on. Mario charges towards the robot walker and jumps up into the sky and performs a flying kick at the cockpit, but the cockpit's glass protects Eggman from the blow.
Fox approaches from behind and fires his laser gun at the back of the robot. Unfortunately, the beams are too small to do any damage. "I should do something about this crappy gun," thought Fox. Eggman points his robot's gun at Fox and says, "Make it something like this!" Fox quickly backs off just as a powerful blast shoots out from the gun.
Samus points her arm cannon at the robot and fires several plasma shots. The shots hit the robot and pushes it back a few steps. "Incredible… Your plasma shots are really powerful…" says Eggman. "But is it up to the power of mines?" Eggman points the gun at Samus and fires quick rapid shots. Samus hops up into the air and points down at the robot and fires more plasma shot. The robot quickly jumps back to avoid the incoming shot from the bounty huntress, but is immediately blast in the back by another powerful blast. Eggman turns around and sees that Mewtwo is the one who fired it.
Mewtwo teleports in front of Eggman and catches him by surprise. With his powerful telekinesis, Mewtwo lifts up the walker with just a single finger!
"Wow!" exclaims Sonic. "That's our Mewtwo," says G&W with a smile.
"Let me down!" screams Eggman from inside the robot walker. Mewtwo flips the robot walker upside down and smashes the cockpit against the floor. The impact causes the cockpit glass to shatter and Eggman to hit his head real hard. Mewtwo lets go the walker and flings it aside.
Eggman crawls out from the pretty much ruined robot walker and holds his head in pain. "Ooooh… That hurts a lot…" he says painfully. Parry flies across his head and drops down bird feces on top of his head. "Here's a gift for ya!"
"YARGH! DISGUSTING!"
"Now's my turn!" says G&W. He pulls out the legendary Fly Swatter and rushes towards Eggman. Eggman screams when he sees the stick man rushing towards him. With a loud war cry, G&W swings the swatter at Eggman, smacking him far into the sky. Eggman eventually disappears into the distance—AKA Team Rocket style.
"We got him!" shouts the Ice Climbers in unison.
"Wow! You guys defeated Eggman in just a few minutes!" exclaims Tails. "You guys are so strong!" says Amy. "I really underestimated you guys," says Sonic. "You really are strong!"
"But our mission isn't finish yet," says Fox. "The dark reactor must be destroyed."
They return into the base and look around. Eventually, they come to the basement of the base and see several Darkling crowded there. "I see the reactor," says Samus. "It's at the back of the room.
"I say we charge forward and run down all the Darkling until we come to the reactor," suggests Mewtwo. The plan sounds good to the others, so they jump down onto the ground floor and charges their way through the wave of Darkling. With their holy weapons, they were able to strike down every single Darkling that gets in their way. Eventually, they reach the dark reactor and Roy stabs the Sealed Sword into the reactor. A bright flash engulfs the entire room, and when it stopped, all the Darkling are gone. Roy wipes off the sweat on his forehead. "Phew… Mission complete…"
"That's my line!" says Fox.
And so, they all return to Mystic Ruins. "You guys have to go now?" asks Tails.
"Right. We don't have all day to linger around. We have to get our next mission from our boss," Fox tells him.
"Don't worry, we will meet again!" says Popo. "When you guys return, I would like to duel one of you," says Sonic. "I'm looking forward to it!" replies Roy.
"Everybody! Da Wap Sta eez ready!" Mario calls out. The Smashers say their good-byes to Sonic and his friends and quickly runs to the Warp Star. The star lifts off the ground and shoots off into the sky.
"They're really great people," says Tails. "That boy named Roy is so cool and handsome!" says Amy. "Too bad we're not the same species. But I still like Sonic better!" She turns around to see Sonic, but he had already rushed off into the distance. "Wait for me, Sonic!"
WORLD COMPLETE!
