In this chapter, you will witness the true powersof the Holy Weapons!
Chapter 41: Attack of the Mechanical Beast! Unlock the 2nd Level of the Weapons!
Pikachu is standing outside the bathroom door. He hears a flush and Yoshi comes out, looking sad. "What's wrong?" Pikachu asks him.
"I pooped out my cell phone and didn't notice it until I flushed the toilet…" replies Yoshi sadly.
"I understand your feeling. You see, I once had a remote control car that got eaten by a random Snorlax."
"What's that got to do with a cell phone?"
"Um…"
"By the way, where's Jigglypuff?"
"She's at the control panel."
Jigglypuff is pressing the buttons of the control panel randomly. She sees a pink button, so she presses it repeatedly because she likes pink.
-
Samus, Mario, and Fox are still in who-knows-where and the light above them is turning on and off continuously. "This light is due for a change," says Fox, looking at the flickering light.
-
After pressing the pink button for about 20 times and nothing happens, she switches to a big red button. This time, the screen in front of her turns on and shows a scene from the carnival. "Must be security camera."
The screen shows people running around in fear and panic, and then an explosion blasts the merry-go-around into pieces.
"What happened!" gasp Pikachu.
Jigglypuff presses another button and the scene switches to Skullzilla, who is firing missiles and laser beams at the carnival.
"It must be Dr. Wily's doing!" says Yoshi.
"But why he destroy his own carnival?" asks Jigglypuff.
-
A door on the roof of the castle opens, and Falco steps out, carrying Luigi on his back (he's still down). "Wha? I reached the top floor already? Quite unexpected… Hey, what's that?"
He sees Skullzilla walking past the castle, shaking the ground whenever it takes a step. "This can't be part of the amusement!" says Falco. "It's attacking the amusement park! I must tell the others quick!" He takes out his cell phone and dials.
-
"What's with all these shakings?" asks Samus. "It just won't stop!"
Fox's cell phone rings and he answers it, "Hello?"
"Fox, can you hear me?"
"Yes, I can. You're Falco for sure."
"You must listen to me! There's this giant robotic monster attacking the amusement park!"
"How big is it?"
"About 50 meters or something!"
"So that explains the shakings we felt."
"You must come up here and see! I'm on the rooftop with Luigi!"
"Okay, got it!" He hangs up the call and tells the other two about it, and they all quickly rush off.
-
A door opens and Megaman and Young Link step out. "Hey! We're outside! This must be the backdoor!" says Young Link.
Suddenly, a giant foot stomps down right in front of them, frightening them. They quickly back off into the room behind the door and looks up at the gigantic robot. "That's one huge robot!" exclaims YL.
Megaman notices the W symbol on the sides of the robot. "It's Dr. Wily! He's attacking the amusement park too! I knew he's evil all along!"
"What do we do?" asks YL.
"We can't possibly scratch him just like this. Let's find the others!"
"I can contact them!" YL takes out his cell phone and dials into it. "Falco? Is that you?"
"Yes, you're Young Link, right?"
"I saw this giant…"
"I know what you're going to say, a giant robot! Where are you? Wait… I see you! I'm coming down!"
"Where are you, Falco?" But the call hanged up before YL got an answer from him.
After a short while, Falco comes down in front of them, riding on top of Luigi. "How did you get here?" asks Megaman.
"Luigi and I are on the roof, and I saw you two from up there. I just used Luigi as a sliding board to get down here. This guy lacks friction."
"What happened to him?" asks YL.
"Apparently, he got knocked out cold by some robot. He's still alive, so calm down."
"And where are the others?"
"I called Fox just now. I'm sure he'll come meet me at… the… rooftop…"
"But you're down here," Megaman tells him.
Falco whips out his cell phone and dials again, this time telling Fox to come outside instead of the roof. Next, he dials Yoshi's phone. It rang many times, but nobody picks it up. "That's why I told him not to keep it in his stomach…" mumbles Falco. He did not know that the cell phone is now down in the sewer.
Suddenly, a speaker booms out these words, "Attention Smashers! This is Navigator Jigglypuff speaking! You hear this you come to main office! We have report about big robot destroying the park!"
"What! She got to the main office already!" exclaims Megaman.
"So what do we do now?" asks YL. "We can't just stand here and watch the robot destroy everything."
"Darn… How are we going to reunite with each other…?" says Falco.
-
In the main office…
"Officer Pikachu! Use the security cameras and search for the Smashers!" Yoshi says to Pikachu.
"Yes, General Yoshi!" says Pikachu with a salute. He presses the buttons on the controller and the screen shows them images of Fox's group and Falco's group. "It appears that Fox, Samus, and Mario are still inside the castle while the others are outside already!"
"Good! Let us call them in!"
"On the other hand, why don't we just go out and meet them? The robot is outside the castle, so it would make sense if we get out there and save the day."
"Your plans are brilliant, Officer Pikachu! I shall raise your rank to Colonel!"
"Enough of this dumb military game…"
-
"What do we do now!" says Samus. "We are receiving phone calls telling us to go here and there!"
"I don't know… Falco called just now that Jigglypuff and probably the others are still inside the castle," replies Fox. "Yoshi isn't answering his cell phone, so he told me to find him too."
"But-a where eez da main office?" asks Mario.
"That's the problem…"
A door besides them opens and Yoshi's group steps out! "Oh hi! That was quite unexpected!" says Yoshi.
"Where have you been?" Samus asks him.
"At the main office," replies Pikachu. "We found out that there's a giant robot going on rampage."
"Falco told us that," Fox tells him. "Now we must all go outside and meet them there, but we can't find the exit."
"I just printed out a map of the castle," says Yoshi, holding a map in his hand. "I'm sure it can help us out."
So they followed the map and navigated through the castle easily. After running into 5 wrong rooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, and even more wrong rooms, they finally made it to the backdoor and met the others, who are all waiting impatiently. "About time…" says Falco annoyed.
-
Dr. Wily is very pleased with his giant robot of destruction. "Skullzilla is without doubt my best masterpiece! I shall destroy this worthless city and King Naraku shall built a new empire where only evil exists! That is the ultimate paradise for someone like me!"
Skullzilla opens its mouth and fires a large laser beam. The beam hits a large building outside the amusement park and blasts it into pieces. The people are screaming and running in fear. Dr. Wily just laughs at those poor souls running around and praying for help. Suddenly, the computer screen tells him that something is attacking Skullzilla. He switches to another screen and sees the Smashers attacking him with their Holy Weapons. "So they made it out! Let's see if they can do something to Skullzilla!"
-
Falco, Fox, and Samus are firing their Holy Weapons at Skullzilla, but it isn't scratching the giant robot at all. "Are you sure this is a Darkling-possessed robot?" Fox asks Samus.
"I'm sure of it!" replies Samus. "I used the x-ray visor just now and saw it with my own eyes that dark energy is running throughout its circuits! What's more is the Dark Reactor is INSIDE the robot!"
"But why aren't the Holy Weapons working against him?" asks Falco.
Pikachu lets loose a thunderbolt at Skullzilla, but not even the holy electricity can harm the mechanical leviathan. "This isn't working!"
Mario extends his Fire Rod and slams it against the robot's chest, but it can't even pierce through its body. Young Link's Light Arrows seems like blunt twigs when fired against the robot's metal body.
Luigi slowly opens his eyes. "Oooh… What happened…?" He sees Skullzilla and screams, "MONSTER!" He quickly jumps inside a trash can and trembles in fear.
Megaman watches the Smashers hopelessly trying to scratch the robot. "It's too terrifying…" he thought. "Dr. Wily has grown much more powerful than before… Not even the almighty powers of the Holy Weapons can stop him…"
"Enough of this nonsense! Your peashooter cannot stop me!" shouts the voice of Dr. Wily from inside Skullzilla. The robot raises its foot and brings it down on the Smashers, but they quickly run out of the way before it hits.
"I will deal with you later!" says Wily, and he moves the robot forward, going closer and closer to the big city. "I shall demolish this city that is an unnecessary roadblock to King Naraku's plan for world domination! He will increase my rank to Dark Lord if I can do it!"
"We won't let you!" shouts Samus angrily as she continues to fire the Hyper Beam at the back of the robot.
"It's useless!" shouts Dr. Wily, and Skullzilla swings its tail at Samus, whacking her hard and sending her into a stone wall behind.
"How can we destroy him?" says Pikachu. "Our weapons aren't working!"
"There must be some way to exploit his weakness!" says Fox. "There must be some way!" Then he felt someone tap him in the shoulder, so he turns around and sees a wireframe man. "Oh, a wireframe. What do you want? Do you bring news from Crazy Hand?"
The wireframe nods and takes out a radio, and presses the button on it. The radio makes some beeping and whizzing sound before the voice of Crazy Hand is heard. "Hello! This is Crazy Hand speaking! I shall now present to you the… Forget it… Okay, Smashers, I bet you're listening to this. It's reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly important. Now, tell me. Is your Holy Weapon powerful? Of course it should be; able to take down Darklings in a… Wait, there's no 's' in Darkling…"
"What's the point of this radio show?" asks Falco. "We don't have all day to listen to him!"
"Your Holy Weapons are really strong, right?" continues Crazy Hand. "It's able to destroy Darkling in a single hit, so it should be! But that's not forever, because powerful Darkling like the Tyrant Darkling are able to withstand their attacks. So what do you do? You must unlock… Excuse me... Hey, who is supposed to be at the drums? Hey you, blond hair kid! Narudork or whatever your name is, do the drum rolls!"
After some chatting and argument in the radio, CH continues speaking again, "You must unlock…"
-Sound of drum roll in the background-
"Level 2 Weapons!"
"Level two weapons?" say the Smashers in unison.
"Level 2 Weapons are helluva powerful! They are the ultimate techniques for destroying the most powerful Darkling! Here's how you use it! You must use YOUR BLOOD! AHHH! IT'S BLEEDING!"
The Smashers look at each other strangely.
"Okay, as I was saying, you need to use your blood. Drop some blood onto your weapons and hold it tight, then say this: Power of the Royal Hand Families, you have lent us your power, so now we shall repay you! We give you our sacred blood in exchange for even more power, the power I have in myself! Unlock my true power! Let the holy one bring down the darkness! Okay… I'm speaking a lot… Try it yourself, it works all the time! Now that you have unlocked it, you can activate it anytime you like by gripping onto your weapon and say level up!"
Suddenly, buzzing sound fills the radio, followed by some crashing noise and some voices talking about Bowser tripping on the cables, and then it turns off.
"What was that...?" asks Pikachu.
"Using our blood to unlock the second level of the Holy Weapons?" says Samus. "That's just strange."
"Whatever, it wouldn't hurt to try, would it?" says Falco. He bites his own thumb hard, making it bleed and he drips it on the Atomic Gun, and then he says the phrase, "Power of the Royal Hand Families, you have lent us your power, so now we shall repay you! We give you our sacred blood in exchange for even more power, the power I have in myself! Unlock my power! Let the holy one bring down the darkness!"
After saying this, the blood he dripped onto the gun flashes and sort of fuses with the Atomic Gun! The gun starts to change form, until it transforms into a bazooka! "This is amazing!" exclaims Falco. "I now have the Atomic Bazooka!"
The other Smashers quickly do the same. They make themselves bleed their fingers and drop the blood on their weapons and then say the same phrase. One by one, their weapons begin to transform.
Fox's Nuclear Gun becomes bigger and larger than before, resembling more of a magnum gun. "Wow!"
Samus's transformation completely changed her arm cannon. Her arm cannon becomes bigger than before and has 4 large turrets at the end of it, and a large rocket launcher in the middle of the 4 turrets. "Amazing!"
Mario's Fire Rod becomes thicker then before and has a sharp tip at the front end. The rod is emitting a heat aura, but Mario didn't feel his hand burn for some strange reason. "Mamamia!"
Luigi's Thunder Rod also becomes thicker, and the front tip turns into a giant plug! The rod is emitting electricity, but it didn't zap Luigi. "Cool!"
Young Link's Light Arrow didn't change; instead, when he said the phrase, the arrow emits a beam that shines onto his bow, turning it into a large golden bow larger than himself! "Amazing!
Yoshi's Meteor Mace becomes really large and has sharp spikes all over it. "Yoshi!"
Jigglypuff's Magic Wand becomes longer and has lots of decorations all around it, and the tip of the wand is small hand made of diamond. "Jiggly!"
Pikachu's Electric Harness totally transforms. It now looks like a robot walker with Pikachu riding on top of it! "Wow! Pika!"
Megaman and Rush watch their transformed weapons with mouths wide open. "That's unbelievable!" exclaims Megaman.
"It's amazing that a golden bow larger than me can be so light!" says YL, waving his new bow around.
Samus looks at her new arm cannon and smiles with pleasure. "This is going to rock!"
"Now I feel braver than before!" says Luigi, looking at his new Thunder Rod.
"I feel invincible!" exclaims Pikachu, moving around in his new robot walker.
Falco places his new bazooka on his shoulder and says, "Let's get this work done!"
The Smashers all nod and they rush towards the robot, running in front of it. Dr. Wily sees them coming and laughs, "Ha! I told you your peashooters aren't going to work!"
"We're not like before anymore!" shouts Fox. He pulls the trigger and fires a powerful energy blast. Falco pulls the bazooka trigger and it fires a large blast in the shape of a rocket. Samus's arm cannon fires 4 powerful energy shots and a large missile.
The tip of Mario's Fire Rod starts spinning like a drill and burns like a match, and then the rod extends towards the robot. The tip of Luigi's Thunder Rod starts releasing high voltage electricity and it extends towards the robot too.
Yoshi swings his mace against the air hard and it fires large fiery spike balls at the robot. Jigglypuff points the Magic Wand at the robot and fires a pink swirling beam. Pikachu screams and his robot walker releases a large lightning bolt. YL uses his new golden bow to fire a Light Arrow. The arrow shoots forward at light speed with a bright aura around it.
All the attacks hit the body of Skullzilla at the same time, and amazingly, it tears right through the body and pushes the Dark Reactor out the other side! "WHAT!" scream Dr. Wily.
The Dark Reactor flies into midair and explodes.
Skullzilla's body explodes into pieces.
"This… can't… be happening…" Dr. Wily mutters to himself. "No… My masterpiece…" And then the head explodes in a large bang.
The Smashers are amazed at the powers of their new weapons. The have nothing to say but to open their mouths wide in awe, looking at the pieces of Skullzilla falling onto the ground. Suddenly, their Holy Weapons revert back to its original form.
Megaman and Rush are also amazed beyond words.
-
The ambulances and fire fighters have arrived, rescuing people and putting out fires. Megaman thanks the Smashers for all they have done. "I admit you people are very strong. I never thought flesh beings can be more powerful than robots."
"The world out there is full of strong people," Samus tells him. "You should travel the world someday!"
"We only won because of my guidance!" says Falco with pride. "I'm such a successful leader after all!"
The other Smashers look at him strangely. "So anyway, we have to go now because we finished our mission," says Fox.
"I hope to meet you again!" says Megaman. "And wish you luck trying to stop the king from taking over the world!"
The Smashers wave one last good-bye to Megaman, and they got onto the Warp Star and flies up high into the air.
WORLD COMPLETE!
TO BE CONTINUED…
