Once again, I apologize for the long wait. Schoolwork really IS bothering me bad. I hate school…
Chapter 76: Battle Between the Hands! Striving to Become the Manliest!
Falco and Ness are knocked out cold by the Storm of Hates. Hater is very pleased that they are killed. Wait, they aren't dead… They're getting back up, and Hater is displeased to see this. "Darn… This guy annoys me…" grumbles Falco.
"And you said you wanted to fight one…" mutters Ness.
"Don't just stand there! Heal us!"
Ness lifts up his arms and shouts, "PSI Life-up!" Sparkling dusts appear around them and their bruises and wounds disappear.
"I feel better, but not the best yet."
"At least it's able to lessen the pain."
"I HATE RECOVERY SPELLS!" shouts Hater very loud. "HATE!" He shoots out a hate-word at them.
Ness pulls out his Ultimate Bat and swings it at the word. His bat hits against the word and he pushes against it to bat it away. "Ngh…!" After some struggling, he bats the word to the floor a few yards in front of him and it explodes, blasting him backwards. "Ow!"
"Hey, you got the idea of batting the words back?" Falco asks him. "Maybe you should try the 2nd Level form; it probably works better."
"Now that you said it, I haven't tried my 2nd level bat yet."
"You should! Mines rocks!"
"Okay, I'll try. But I don't want to hurt myself…"
"Then I'll do it for you!" Falco grabs his finger and bites it hard.
"OW! It's bleeding!"
"It should!" He hands Ness an index card. "Now hurry up and read this!"
Another hate-word flies towards them, and they quickly avoid it. Ness runs to a safe corner and reads it, and when he's done, his Ultimate Bat produced a layer of gold on its surface, making it shiny. "Wow! It's gold!"
"HATE!" Another hate-word flies at them, and Ness swings his newly transformed bat at the word. It only took a simply and light swing to knock the word away. It flies back to Hater and blasts him backwards.
BANG!
"You did it!" exclaims Falco.
"Wow! It's much easier to deflect the words now!"
"I HATE 2ND LEVEL WEAPONS!" screams Hater. "HATE TO THE POWER 10!" He shot out 10 hate-words at them, and Ness swings them all back to him and explodes. While the smoke of the explosion is still around and blinding Hater, Ness runs towards him and swings the Ultimate Bat into his face.
CLANG!
Hater is batted across the room and hits the wall hard. "Ha! You did it!" exclaims Falco. "Now's my turn!" He points his 2nd Level Atomic Gun at Hater and fires a large laser beam. The large beam hits Hater and consumes him.
"AAARRRGGHHH! THE SEED OF HATRED WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS WORLD! AS LONG AS HATRED EXISTS, I EXIST!" screams Hater. "I HATE YOU ALL!" And then he explodes into thick black smoke, which eventually cleared away.
"Yes!" exclaim the two.
"That was a tough battle!" says Ness.
"I really hate that guy," says Falco.
"Don't say that! You're giving him a chance to return if you keep on pouting the word hate!"
"If this is true, then how come the other 4 Incarnations that were killed 1000 years ago didn't return?"

The three Pokemon have passed out on the floor and Laughter is on his belly laughing. "Hahaha… hoohoo… I haven't laughed so happily for a hell of a darn time already… What a good laugh!"
Pikachu gets up and says angrily to him, "You're so heartless! How can you stand up proud making fun of people and calling names!"
"But I can! Idiot! Muahahahaha! I will sing another song dedicated to you!"
Jigglypuff stands straight up and says, "Song no good enough! My song much better! PURIN!" She begins singing at the top of her voice. As all Jigglypuff's songs go, it can induce people with sleep, so Pikachu and Pichu quickly close their ears.
"Uh? What's this song? Stop singing, you dirty ball! It makes me drowsy!" says Laughter.
"PIKA!" Pikachu lets loose a thunderbolt at Laughter. Because he has the Electric Harness on, the electric shock badly damaged Laughter.
"HAAAAAAA! You ass! How dare you do this to me! I will now sing a song of hatred and make you cry until your eyes bleed!" He takes his microphone and is about to sing when Pichu crashes into the stereos with a powerful skull bash move. "Ah! You rat! You destroyed the stereos! Now my stupid song will not be loud enough to fill this &#$!$ room! I don't care! I'll just sing!" He opens his mouth to sing.
"Level up!" says Pikachu and Jigglypuff in unison, and both their Holy Weapons turn into their 2nd Level Form. Pikachu fires a powerful lightning blast and Jigglypuff fires a large pink blast at Laughter. Both the shots hit Laughter in the mouth.
"AAAAAHHHHH! YOU ASSHOLES!" The shots tear his body apart from inside and he explodes.
"We did it!" exclaims Pikachu.
"My song much better!" says Jigglypuff.
"I'm glad we won," says Pichu. "I don't want to get bullied by that fool again."

Mewtwo is lying on the floor with Unbeliever standing next to him. "Die, you who should not exist in this world of lies!" says Unbeliever. He raises his fist and is about to slam it down on him. Just before the fist hits, Mewtwo quickly teleports away to safety. "Uh? Why don't you just die? Your existence in this world is nothing but the imagination of a story writer who is stupid!"
"The world is not a small world like you think," replies Mewtwo. "You who do not understand it will never understand it!"
"I believe in what I think is right! Someone like you does not have the right to change my belief!"
Mewtwo holds the Psychic Spoon tightly with his bleeding battle wounds and recites the message for unlocking the 2nd Level. Since he is psychic, he has almost perfect memory and said the whole message correctly and without errors. After saying it, his spoon changes into a strange flat capsule-like thing. "What's this?"
"Do you think a weapon like that can destroy me? Stop dreaming!" Unbeliever charges at Mewtwo and swings a fist at him. Mewtwo quickly brings up the weird thing and a spoon suddenly pops out from above it and blocks the hit.
CLANG!
"Uh? It's still a spoon. What exactly is this?" wonders Mewtwo. Unbeliever performs a roundhouse kick but Mewtwo hovers away to safety. He touches the thing around to see if there's anything on it, and he notices five buttons. One of the buttons is pressed, and that must be what caused the spoon to pop out. He presses another button and a knife pops out! "I get it now!"
"I don't believe how that strange toy can destroy evil! DIE!" Unbeliever quickly charges at Mewtwo and delivers a powerful blow, but before the hit contacts, Mewtwo blocks the hit with the knife and then slashes him away. "Ugh! How dare you! That thing can never defeat the likes of me!"
"Do not judge an object by its outside appearance!" Mewtwo presses the third button and a fork pops out. "Okay, who came up with this strange weapon…?"
The two of them charge at each other and trade blows together. Unbeliever scored a hit on Mewtwo by kicking him into the air and towards the ceiling. While Mewtwo is in air, Unbeliever jumps up high above him. "I will kill you this instant! Fist of the Unfaithful!"
Mewtwo quickly presses the fourth button and a bottle opener pops out! He brings the top of the opener over Unbeliever's head and flips him around, switching place with him; Mewtwo is now above Unbeliever! "WHAT!"
Mewtwo presses the fifth button and a cork opener comes out. "I will be the one to kill you!" He brings the tip of the cork opener down onto Unbeliever's abdomen, pushing him towards the floor. They both hit the floor and the sharp tip of the cork opener impales Unbeliever.
"Gaaaa… I don't… believe this!" These were the last words of Unbeliever before he disappears into nothing.
The Psychic Spoon returns to its normal form. "Well, I did it," Mewtwo says to himself. "Looks like I still have a long way to become a powerful Pokemon. There are still a lot in this world I don't understand.

Crazy Hand and Master Hand are shocked by the existence of Manly Hand. "You're still alive all these years…?" asks MH.
"Yes, it is thanks the support of the Darkling that I am able to have an undying body," replies Manly Hand. "Your father Ruler Hand has long passed away, I assume."
"You dare sell your soul to the Darkling in exchange for eternal life! You traitor!" says CH angrily. "And you even made the 27th weapon that wasn't suppose to be made!"
"Why are you doing all this?" MH asks him. "How can you pollute the bloodline of the Royal Hand Family?"
Manly Hand looks up towards the ceiling with fingers wide open and says, "Manliness… That is what I want to have. To be the manliest being in the world is my ultimate goal! I will do anything to achieve it!"
"You're insane!"
"You have your goals and dreams too, don't you? Will you do anything to achieve your goal?"
"But I refuse to go this far just to achieve my dreams! Never will I submit myself to the Darkling!"
"Then you are not manly. A real man will achieve his goal no matter what. If you do not achieve it and give up, you are NOT a man!"
"Father was right! You are out of your mind on wanting to be manly!" says CH.
"Your father was a honorable man, but he lacked in one thing: Manliness. He does not act the way a real man does. To be a real man is men's greatest pride."
"To not sell himself to evil is the real pride!" MH shouts at him. "You are corrupted by the stupid thought of wanting to be manly!"
"You do not understand! An unmanly hand like you will never understand! I will show you the powers I have from being manly! The power I receive from darkness to become manly!"
MH is very angry now. "How dare you!"
"I will do anything to become the manliest being in the world! I will show you the power of manliness!" Manly Hand points a finger at the two Hands and fires several dark bullets.
MH and CH quickly fly aside to avoid the incoming bullets. "There's nothing to be afraid of, Crazy," MH tells his younger brother. "He is Darkling possessed, and there are two of us, so we should be able to take him down easily!"
"Right on!" CH points all five of his fingers at Manly Hand and each shot out bombs. Manly Hand brings himself forward and slaps all the bombs away.
MH flies to another side and shot bullets at Manly Hand from there. Manly Hand countered it by shooting bullets too. The bullets hit together and explode. CH folds himself into a fist and shoots forward at Manly Hand, who caught him with hands wide open. While the two are pushing back and forth, MH folds into a fist and hits Manly Hand in the back. "Ah!" Both the Hand brothers crush Manly Hand in between, and then they fly back from him and fold into fists again.
"Rapid Double Punch!" shout the Hands in unison. They launch several strong and quick punches at Manly Hand, pummeling him over and over. They punch him into the wall and crush him against it hard.
"GAAAHHH! I will not be defeated by unmanly Hands like you!" Manly Hand lets out a cry and dark energy bursts out of him, pushing the two Hands away. He opens his fingers wide and a dark energy ball forms in his hand. "Take this! Dark Shot!" He charges the energy ball until it is very big and fires it at the Hands. The energy ball hits them two and blasts them across the room.
KABAAM!
Smoke fills the room and debris falls down when the shot exploded. Manly Hand thought he had won when suddenly several bullets and bombs fly out from the smoke and blast him. "AUGH!"
MH and CH fly out of the smoke and begin punching him over and over again. They both fold their fists and move back. "DOUBLE DRAGON PUNCH!" A light aura covers their entire body as they launch themselves at Manly Hand at a quick speed. They impact with Manly Hand and push him across the room with tremendous force. They did not stop until they hit the wall.
BANG!
The two Hands back off and Manly Hand drops onto the floor. "Ugh… How can I be defeated by you…?" mumbles Manly Hand.
"Because you lend yourself to darkness," replies MH. "The power of evil can never prevail over the good."
"I don't understand… I was supposed to be manly doing this…"
"Giving in to darkness does not make you manly! The way to become manly is to use your powers to help the ones in need and bring happiness and peace to the people of the world!"
"Is that so…? Then all of these are too late… I have done something that cannot be forgiven…"
"Don't say that! We can work together and you will be an all new Hand again!" CH tells him.
"Heh… You always oversimplify things… I was only able to live this long because of the Darkling in my body… If the Darkling was to leave, then I'm afraid I cannot live much longer." After saying this, the Darkling that was possessing his body all these 1000 years emerge from his body, but was immediately killed by CH and MH.
"We killed him for you!"
"That's it… My life ends here… I hope I get another chance to become manly in afterlife…" And Manly Hand withers away into nothing. MH and CH bow down sadly, giving regard for his death.
"He was such a rotten hand, but…" begins CH.
"Everyone in this world has a dark and light side in his or her heart," says MH. "It's up to you which way you want to choose. Manly Hand chose the darkness, and this is his consequence. When will people understand this…?"
"So what do we do now?"
"Let's go look for the Smashers. Perhaps they need our help."

Sheik is fighting a horde of demons. A long snake-like demon charges at her and she jumps away to her safety and then whips the snake into pieces. A hairy, monstrous demon approaches from behind and is about to hit her when she quickly slips under the monster's leg and then whips it in the back, tearing it in two.
More demons come towards her in all directions, and she quickly levels up her Snake Whip to its 2nd form and swings it around wildly, taking out all the demons at once. The floor bursts open and a large dinosaur-like demon rises and Kanna is sitting at the top of its head. "It is futile to fight on," says Kanna. "It is better for you to accept death than to suffer fighting on."
"I will never agree to that!" snaps back Sheik. She is about to swing the whip at the demon when suddenly a tentacle grabs her leg and trips her to the floor. She turns around and sees a demon with several tentacles jumping at her. It is too late for her to do anything, and she can only expect the demon to bite off her head any second.
Suddenly, flames hit the tentacle demon on its side and burn it away into nothing. Sheik gets up and sees that it was Roy who rescued her. "Hey Roy!"
"What are you doing here?" Roy asks her.
"It's quite a surprise to see you," says Peach. "Shouldn't you be with…"
"Fox, Link, and DK are fighting some Space Pirates," explains Sheik before Peach can finish asking. "I got separated from Falco and Ness, but when I saw that white girl, I followed her and ended up here."
"MONSTER!" screams Luigi upon seeing the dinosaur demon.
The demon slams its hand at them, but they jump away. Roy takes out the Sword of Seals and dashes at them demon, slicing it in half from the waist. The demon breaks into pieces and Kanna floats into the air. "It is better to die a painless death than to suffer fighting here."
"Like we'll listen to you!" Roy swings the sword at her and shot out flames. Several demons appear in front of Kanna and acted as a shield to protect her, and of course, they get hit and sacrificed themselves to keep her safe. "Darn those demons!"
Kanna begins to fly away from them, but they give chase. "We're not letting you escape this time!" says Roy. He swings his sword and shot out more flames. Kanna moves around in a wavy path to avoid the flames.
"Perhaps I can be of help," says Luigi. He extends the Thunder Rod and slams it forward at her, but she moves to the side and avoids it. Suddenly, Sheik appears next to her and wraps the Snake Whip around her.
"Ninjas can hide in the shadows and lurk up on opponents unknowingly," says Sheik. She swings the whip downwards and slams Kanna headfirst into the floor.
SLAM!
Roy then slashes Kanna with his sword, cutting her into many pieces. "So this is what it feels like to die," says Kanna just before she falls silent and withers away.
"That was cruel…" says Peach. "She was just a little girl."
"If you went to Feudal Japan with us that time, then you'll know the terror that she possesses," Roy tells her.
"I can't believe demons can look so innocent like that girl," says Luigi.
"The world sure is amazing," adds Parry.
"So where do we head for next?"
"We'll look for Mario and then hunt down and kill Naraku," answers Roy.
"Are you looking for me?" says a voice that echoes through the darkness. This made Luigi jump into Peach's arms. "I know this voice! Naraku, come out at once!"
Suddenly, the face of Naraku materializes in the darkness in front of them. "Here I am."
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" screams Luigi in fright.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Well, there goes Kanna. She looks cute indeed, but you must know how much of a wench she is at times. That emotionless face sure looks creepy…
And I apologize if the fights are too short or uninteresting. I want to reach the end fast, so I sort of rushed through it. Plus, I'm running out of ideas on how the fights should go too.
