I can't believe I forgot about Young Link in the previous chapter! I just added him into the part where all the wireframes jump at Ridley. You can go and check it if you want to. And I notice I forgot to put the preview too… Well, this chapter is out, so I don't think it's necessary to go back and add it.

Chapter 74: An Entertaining Battle? Ridley Meets His Demise!

Ridley watches the Smashers standing up, and says, "Yes, stand up! So I can fight you again! I want to see your true power! I will not be satisfied until I see you fight for real!"

"You're going to get it," CF angrily says to him. "No one ever lived after seeing our true powers!"

"He's right! You better take back what you said or we'll show no mercy!" says Samus.

"Come on! Entertain me! And then I'll kill you so I can be happy for eternity!" says Ridley excitedly. He charges at the Smashers and slams his arm forward, but the Smashers have jump away to avoid it. He turns around and sees Marth running towards him. "Ha! You dare come after me with a frontal attack? Don't make me laugh!" They dash at each other for an attack, and when they come in contact…

SLASH!

Marth dashes pass Ridley and lands. Ridley lets out a painful cry and falls back onto the ground, with a large gash across his body.

"GAAAA! How can this be!"

"You said you wanted to see this," Marth tells him.

Ridley gets up and faces him angrily. "Why you! I'll kill you!"

CF appears in front of him and strikes his spear in the air in front of him rapidly, shooting out several orange beams. "Rapid Falcon Blast!" The beams hit Ridley and explode on contact, greatly damaging him.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" He falls backwards but gets up again, and is immediately hammered in the head by Popo.

WHANG!

Immediately after Popo, Nana hammers him in the side of the face and sends him flying to the ground again. Before he can get up, Bowser slashes him rapidly with his claws, creating several gashes on his body.

"AAARGHH!"

And then Yoshi pounds his head hard with the Meteor Mace, sinking his head into the ground.

"How can they be so strong!" wonders Ridley. "Is this their true power?"

Ganon approaches him and says, "Die!" Ridley quickly takes off into the air to avoid him, but Ganon caught him by the tail and won't let him go.

"Let me go!"

Young Link loads 3 Light Arrows onto his bow and fires them at Ridley. When hit, it creates a bright explosion. Ganon then slams Ridley against the ground over and over before hurling him against the castle wall.

CRASH!

Ridley's body is greatly damaged and short-circuited, but he still stands up. "Grrrr… How dare you… I'll show you my wrath!"

-

Back inside the castle…

DK, Link, and Fox are back on their feet, facing the Space Pirates. "You people won't give it up, do you?" Punk asks them.

"It is useless to stop something that you cannot stop!" Pix tells them.

"Evil is part of nature. There is no way you can eliminate it!" says Pork.

"True, evil cannot be eliminated, but it can be prevented from spreading all over the place. That is what we're going to do," says Fox.

"What you said is right, but there are some people that wants to spread evil, and they will do anything to do it," Punk tells them.

"If that's the case, then we'll kill the people who said it!" says Link.

"You'll have to get through us if you want to stop evil."

"We will!"

The Smashers and the Pirates charge at each other again for another round of battle. DK and Pork tackle with each other and trade punches and kicks together.

Link runs towards Pix and says, "You said I have to rely on my sword in order to fight? Well, I can also fight without the sword."

"Then show me!" demands Pix. When Link is near him, he throws a punch at him, but Link amazingly grabs him by the arm and hurls him aside with a judo throw! "Yeow!"

And then Link runs to get his sword. "But I still prefer using my sword."

"You still need to rely on your sword after all!" says Pix, getting back up.

"Whatever you say, I will kill you with it!"

Fox and Punk dash at each other, trading tackles together. Fox fires his laser gun and Punk fires his pincer laser. They trade several laser shots with each other, and once in while coming together for a close range combat. Fox somehow scored a hit at Punk by kicking into his face, and then he punches him with a quick combo, in which he ends it by slamming Punk against the floor hard.

WHANG!

Punk gets back up again. "You're certainly fighting with more power than before."

"We always learn from our failures," Fox tells him.

DK and Pork are still fighting each other. Pork throws a strong punch into DK, who then also returns a punch back to him. DK grabs him by the neck and slams him into the floor, followed by beating him on the back rapidly. He lifts up Pork and drops him back down with a force so strong that the floor cracked.

Link dashes at Pix and swipes him rapidly with his sword. He attacks with a crisscross slash, horizontal slash, and various other kinds of sword slashes.

Fox and Punk fight together in a close range hand-to-hand combat. Once in a while, they would hop back and then rush at each other again for a dashing hit.

"I have enough of you!" says Pork angrily. "Die!" He thrusts his pincer forward to hit DK, but he ducks down to avoid it. DK then hits him in the chin with a powerful uppercut, sending Pork into the air. DK jumps up very high and next to him with his fist raised overhead.

"I will put an end to you this instant!" Pix charges very fast at Link with his pincers wide open, ready to cut him in half.

"Come!" Link holds his sword to the side and gets into a certain position.

Fox and Punk dash at each other again. "It's futile to fight against us! This is where the battle ends!" says Punk.

"I'm sure it will end!" says Fox, and then fire begins to cover his body.

-

Back outside, Ridley jumps for the person nearest to him—Samus. With a swipe of his claw, he knocks Samus to the ground, and then proceeds to drop on top of her. "DIE!" roars Ridley loudly. Samus quickly brings up her arm cannon and points it at Ridley's head, and the top of cannon begins to glow in rainbow colors.

-

DK slams down his fist onto Pork's chest REALLY hard. "GAAAAAA!" cries Pork when he got hit. He drops back to the floor very fast and falls through it.

CRASH!

Link swings his sword and shouts, "Tornado Spin Attack!" Pix gets hit by the spinning attack just as he got near Link. He is send flying into the air from the hit.

"GUUUUUAAAAAHHHHH!"

Fire covers the entire body of Fox just as he impacts into Punk. The fiery fox hits Punk hard and sends him flying backwards in flames.

"YAAAAAAA!"

-

Samus shoots out a charged Hyper Beam directly into Ridley's mouth. The beam is large and its force sends Ridley high into the sky.

"UUUUUWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Ridley's body begins to wear out and short-circuits.

"This… is your true… power…? I've seen everything… But… This isn't… how I… expected… it to… turn out… My revenge… came to naught…?"

And then Ridley explodes into thousand of pieces in air. Metal pieces and flesh rain down from the sky and hits the ground.

Samus continues to lie on the ground, watching the pieces falling down. "It's over…"

"Well, that was quite hard," says CF.

"At least he won't be annoying us forever, I hope," says Bowser.

-

DK, Link, and Fox gather together. "We won…" says DK.

"Yes, and it wasn't as easy as I thought," says Link.

"They're very worthy opponents indeed," says Fox. "After all our teamwork in Feudal Japan… They turned against us in the end."

"They're never on our side. They only helped us because they want to get home too."

"Still, I believe there's actually a good side of them in their hearts. Fighting them isn't very pleasing if you ask me."

"Nah, forget it. Let's get out of here."

With this, the 3 Smashers run out the room, leaving the three defeated Pirates lying half-dead in the room. "Perhaps… You're the only one… who can defeat… him…" mutters Punk quietly.

-

Naraku watches from Kanna's mirror and saw everything. "So Ridley is killed too. There goes all of the Dark Lords. Pity them; they aren't worthy enough to live in the new world of darkness."

-

Another horde of Darkling comes towards the Smashers outside the castle. "Oh man… Not more…" complains G&W.

"We'll just have to fight them," says Marth.

"The more the better! I will unleash all my anger at them!" says Bowser, clanging his claws together.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Well, Ridley met his end. He was one of the longest recurring villains, making his first debut in Holy Weapons vs. Dark Forces.
