Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter! Sorry about not posting for a while. I hope this chapter, along with many following chapters, more than make up for the long time. Now, without any further delay, let's get into this chapter!
Chapter 6:
New Donk City
The ship that brought the Mii fighters down ascended into the upper atmosphere with only Bruce on board.
Fox then immediately came up with a solution. "I can use my Arwing to shoot it down!"
"I'll come-a with you!" Interjected Mario.
"So will I." Said Lucario.
Fox fired up the Arwing's engines with Mario and Lucario clinging to the wings. Soon enough, the craft gained enough momentum to follow the larger Subspace vessel.
Meanwhile on the ground, Sonic, Little Mac, Greninja, and Peach were watching the ships above when the blue hedgehog came up with an idea. "I don't think they're gonna destroy it fast enough. I should help them!" Before the other fighters could say anything, Sonic pulled out seven differently colored jewels that enabled him to transform into his super form with golden hair, immeasurable power, and flight.
Sonic then called out to his comrades one last time. "Wish me luck guys."
He then flew into the atmosphere following the Subspace warship and the Arwing.
Atmosphere above New Donk City
The Arwing that the three heroes were on was closing in on the Lightspace Army ship. Despite its rear cannons pouring down a deluge of lasers, Fox's flying skills made the pilot and his friends evade every shot.
Fox was unloading everything his Arwing still had at the ship, from its lasers to its smart bombs, but it didn't take any major damage. The only damage it took was a small dent that was visible on its backside.
The pilot then came up with a plan that would use the dent to their advantage. "Lucario! I'm gonna need you to shoot an aura sphere at that dent! It's our only way of boarding the ship since we can't destroy it in time!"
"Understood." Replied Lucario.
The fighting type Pokemon launched a sphere with his full force. However, it only expanded just a little bit.
"We're not-a gonna board it in time!" Shouted Mario.
Fox ignored the plumber and continued to follow the ship despite the air running out and the temperature getting colder.
Just as the pilot was about to fire another shot, a fast yellow streak flew up past them and started to attack the ship from all sides, seemingly overwhelming it with attacks.
The yellow flash stopped in front of the Arwing.
"You're in your super form, hedgehog?" Said Lucario
"Yeah! I thought you guys could use a major boost!" Replied Sonic
Mario then thought of a great plan. "Sonic! Use whatever power you have-a left in your super form to make a hole in that-a dent!"
The hedgehog made a grin at this. "Consider it done, old friend!"
Sonic then flew several miles away. The three heroes were confused at first, but then realized that he would be building more momentum to break open the ship.
A few seconds later, there was a yellow flash of light out on the dark horizon. This was followed by a sudden light boom and a golden streak of light.
"I'm gonna bust us open an entrance! Super Sonic Style!"
In a split second, the backside of the ship had received a large explosion. This staggered the three heroes on and inside the Arwing. When the smoke eventually cleared, there was a hole wide enough for a person to fit through. Sonic, back in his normal blue form was already inside, but under a pile of metal debris.
"Nice-a work Sonic!" Encouraged Mario. "Let's-a get in the ship!"
Mario used his jumping ability to easily board the craft.
Next was Lucario as he used his aura powers to soar into the hole using his extreme speed technique.
Fox was about to push the ejector seat button in his Arwing to enter. Unfortunately, one of the ship's lasers skimmed the fighter craft. This shot sent the Arwing spinning and careening back to the World's surface.
"Fox!" Cried out Mario.
Fox was panicking, but had been in much worse situations before. "Don't worry about me! Stop Galeem! I know we can all take him down if we believe in our own light to counter his!"
The three heroes who boarded the ship were encouraged by the pilot's words of encouragement. "Don't worry Fox" Said Lucario. "We will not fail."
Fox was eventually able to recalibrate his Arwing systems to make a bumpy, but relatively safe descent back to the surface.
The Lightspace Army ship then made its way to lightspeed with the three heroes stowed away, not knowing the threat that would wait for them on the other side.
