Chapter 30: You Think She Is a Man? Samus vs. Thundon and Bob Fungus!
"You gotta be kidding me!" says Ranma. "No matter how powerful your psychic is, you cannot defeat Godzilla!"
"Even though I have confidence in my strength, I still tremble in fear at the thought of facing Godzilla!" admits Happosai.
"But what else can I do?" asks Mewtwo. "If we don't do something, he will kill everyone!"
"Godzilla is possessed by a hundred Darkling, and because he's also near invincible even in his normal state, the Holy Weapons will have a hard time scratching him," says Cologne. "But hope is not lost, for you can destroy the Dark Reactor to free Godzilla."
"That may be the only way," says Mewtwo, rubbing his chin. "But even I cannot sense the Dark Reactor anywhere."
"They said that a man named Yamatoman knows where it is, but I do not know who he is or where he lives, except somewhere outside Tokyo."
"Anyway, I'll catch up with my friends first!"

The other Smashers are battling Godzilla, but they are not showing any progress. Falco and Fox fires Godzilla with their holy beam guns, but surprisingly, it didn't hurt the king of monsters at all! "Why isn't it hurting him!" shouts Falco angrily. "Isn't he possessed by Darkling?"
"Godzilla is very powerful in his normal state, and getting possessed by 100 Darkling makes him even more powerful!" explains Fox. "That's why even our holy weapons will have a hard time hurting him!"
The Ice Climbers bravely run to Godzilla's leg and pounds it with their holy hammers. The impact is really hard, in fact, Godzilla actually yelps in pain when it hits! "We're making progress!" remarks Popo. "Let's keep doing this!"
But Godzilla lifts up his feet and shakes the Ice Climbers away. "YAAAAAAA!" screams the both of them.
Samus, now in her armor, climbs up the tallest tree she can find, and from the top, she fires the Hyper Beam at Godzilla's face. Even though the beam did make Godzilla cry in pain, it isn't weakening him at all. "Darn it!" she says with a disappointed look. "What can we do to hurt him?"
Godzilla opens his mouth and slowly charges up a Heat Beam. "RUN!" screams Falco. "He's gonna fire!"
The beam shoots out from the monster's mouth and hits the ground, creating a massive explosion. The explosion is so powerful that many of the nearby trees were either incinerated or blown away. The very tree Samus happen to be standing on gets uprooted and blown away, and she's still on top of it! "AHHHHH!"
As for the other Smashers, they are safe. Dr. Mario used his Heal Staff to create a powerful and indestructible force shield, protecting them all from the blast. "That was close… I can't believe that this staff's magical force shield can block such powerful blast!" says Dr. Mario. "But Samus didn't make it…"
"She must be dead!" cries Nana. "Nobody can survive a powerful blast like that!"
Falco eyes Godzilla angrily and says, "You will pay for killing a friend of ours!" He angrily charges at Godzilla and shoots him rapidly with his beam. Godzilla lifts up his leg and kicks Falco. He flies back and hits a rock hard, and then passes out on the ground.
Dr. Mario quickly runs to Falco and checks his body. "That kick gave him a massive internal damage!" Dr. Mario quickly taps him with the Heal Staff, making Falco glow in a bright and white light. After a few seconds, Falco gets back up and hops around, full of energy.
"Yeah! I'm back to life! Thanks to you, doc! Godzilla, here I come!"
"You shouldn't engage Godzilla at such close combat!" Dr. Mario warns him. "Even though my Heal Staff can heal all kind of injuries and revive the dead, it doesn't you should get yourself into all kinds of danger!" But Falco wasn't listening to him, he runs to Godzilla to attack him again.
Fox turns to Parry and says to him, "Parry, I have a job for you!"
"Yes sir!"
"Fly into the sky and look for any buildings outside of Tokyo! Look into the windows and see if you can find any suspicious people, and then come back and tell us! And in case you see Mewtwo, go tell him about it too!"
"So you want to search for Yamatoman? You can depend on me!" With this, Parry flies off into the sky.
It didn't take him along to find a house lying a few kilometers away from Godzilla's 'war ground'. He flies down to it and peeks into the window and sees what he is searching for! He sees a bunch of robots watching TV, and the program they're watching is the Smashers fighting Godzilla! "This is definitely Yamatoman's hideout!" he thought to himself. "I must go back and report to Fox!"
Parry takes off into the sky again, this time flying overhead the city of Tokyo. While flying, he sees a familiar person running around the street. He immediately recognizes that person. "It's Mewtwo!"
Sure enough, Mewtwo is speeding through the streets, looking for the exit. When he got near a building corner, a person appears from behind and crashes into him! Mewtwo falls onto the ground and gets back up. "Hey, you're Yoh!"
"It's you again, Mewtwo," says Yoh, getting back up from the ground. "I never thought I'd see you here." Just when he got back up, a bicycle appears from around the corner and knocks in down again. "Ow!"
"Sorry, Yoh…" says the boy, who is very short, on the bike. "I turned too fast…"
"Never mind, Manta… I shouldn't stop here too."
A girl in black dress and a red bandana over her head steps in from around the corner and sees Mewtwo, and then she asks, "You're the one Yoh told me, right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"You wouldn't happen to have a Holy Weapon, right?"
"How'd you guess?"
"Because you're a pupil of Master Hand."
"You know Master Hand?"
"Yes, I met him when I was 10. He's probably the first person ever to acknowledge my itako skills."
Note: Itako is a medium who talks to the spirits of the dead.
"Wait, Anna… You know Master Hand, the last two members of the Royal Hand Family! Why didn't you tell us?" asks Manta in surprise.
Anna gives him a cold glare. "Why should I?"
"So what do you want from me?" Mewtwo asks her.
"You surely know that the Darkling are once again free from their prison," replies Anna. "And your job is to destroy the Dark Reactor."
"Yes."
"Now Godzilla is possessed by 100 Darkling and the only way to save him is to destroy the Dark Reactor, as he is way too powerful to be defeated by the Holy Weapons."
"But I don't know where the reactor is. That's the problem."
"Hey Mewtwo!" shouts a voice from above. Parry flies down from the sky and lands on Mewtwo's shoulder. "I found you at last!"
"Hey, Parry! Where are the others?"
"They're fighting Godzilla! But they don't seem to be standing a chance against him!"
"They are idiots to go and confront him face to face," says Anna with a cold tone.
"Hey, who's this gal? Her voice gives me the creeps…" says Parry.
"Just an old friend of Master Hand. And by the way, what brings you here?"
Parry explains all that Fox told him to Mewtwo. "And because I happen to see you, I decided to stop by and tell you about the situation."
"Good, now that you have found out Yamatoman's location, it'll make finding the reactor easier!" says Mewtwo. "Take me there!"
"Wait, we're going too," says Anna.
Yoh turns to her and asks, "Huh, Anna…? We have to go with him?"
"This is to repay for the kindness Master Hand showed me 3 years ago. Plus, you should go help Mewtwo as part of your training to become shaman king."
"Oh all right…" says Yoh with a sigh, knowing what will happen if he says no.

Somewhere in the forest outside of Tokyo, Samus is lying uncon… Wait, she's getting to her sense again. "Oh…" she moans. "Where am I?" She hears Godzilla's roar coming from the distant. "Guess I'm not far from them yet. That explosion really blasted off this tree!"
She stands back up and gets readies to move, when suddenly, someone called her. "Hey you!"
Samus turns around and, to her surprise, sees Thundon and Bob Fungus! "You two are still alive!"
Thundon turns to Bob and asks him, "He's one of the Smashers, right?"
"Yup, he sure is," replies Bob.
Thundon turns to Samus and unsheathes his large saber. "We will kill all Smashers! And that means you!"
"I hate to tell you this, but I'm a girl…" Samus corrects them.
"You don't look like a girl," says Bob.
"You sure don't look like, so we have decided that you're a man!" says Thundon.
"I'm a woman! You want proof!" Samus shouts at them. Thundon ignores her question and charges through her, slicing his saber through the side of her waist on the way! Samus grunts in pain and looks down to see that the armor at her waist level has a large gash in it, and blood is flowing out!
"Do not defy the gender that the creator gave you," says Thundon coldly.
Samus painfully stands up and says, "I never defied what gender the creator gave me… I am a woman!" Suddenly, Bob fires a shot from his gun and blasts Samus from the back. The blast sends her onto the ground and leaves her armor smoking.
"Ugh… How can your weapons do such terrifying damage…?" she grunts.
Thundon raises his saber into the air and says, "This sword is made from the finest element found only in Foolurene, the Idiotite. It is very sharp and can slice through almost anything."
"My gun's ammo is made from a radioactive element also found only in Foolurene—the Stupidium. It is a radioactive substance that is made into gun ammo, and it can burn anything!" explains Bob.
Thundon charges at Samus again and kicks her in the head (or helmet, if you prefer) hard, making her back flip into the air. While she is in air, Bob rushes over and slams his foot down on her visor, making a crack on it.
The two Fools continue to trash and beat Samus around, not giving her a chance to fight back. Her armor is almost malfunctioning, so she can't act properly. "Ugh… At this rate, I'm going to get killed…"
Bob points his gun at Samus and says, "Die now, you useless guy!"
"I'm a GIRL!" she shouts back angrily, and then she smashes her fist on Bob's belly, making him fall back and grunt in pain. Thundon lifts up his saber and brings it down directly on Samus's helmet! When the saber hits the helmet, it makes a loud crack, and the helmet splits open, revealing Samus's head.
Samus angrily grabs him by the collar and says, "Do you see now? I'M A GIRL!"
"You cannot help it that your facial appearance looks like a girl!" Thundon snaps back.
Enraged, Samus knees him in the stomach hard and kicks him away. Bob angrily points his gun at Samus, but she immediately turns around and fires the grapple beam at Bob! The grapple beam ties itself around his hand, and then she lifts him up into the air and slams his head against Thundon's head!
CLANG
That was the sound heard when both their heads impact together. Bob passes out on the ground, but not Thundon. "You evil fiend who defies your own gender! How dare you hurt me and my partner!"
Samus ignores what he said and jumps up above him, and smashes her fist down onto Thundon's head with full impact! The hit was so hard that a loud crack is heard, and then Thundon falls back onto the ground and stops moving.
Just as Bob gets back up, Samus turns to him and fires a missile at him. The missile hits Bob in the stomach and pushes him backwards until they both hit a tree, creating a large explosion.
Samus turns away from the explosion and murmurs to herself, "I am a… girl…" And then she steps off into the woods...
-
Parry succeeded in guiding Mewtwo, Yoh, Anna, and Manta to Yamatoman's hideout. "This is the one!" says Parry. "I'm sure of it!"
"Well, then let's go in and force it out of his mouth," says Mewtwo.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Yeah, this is the last time you'll see the Fools. They won't appear anymore in the story. And I hope you have a clear understanding of the fight scenes, because I really suck at those…
