Chapter 18: The Battle to Prove Oneself! Pit vs. Kazena!
Bowser and Pit look at the KO'ed Crack Lee. "That must hurt a lot!" says Pit.
"Of course it has to hurt!" Bowser tells him. "Whoever I hit must feel big pain! By the way, Tit, you said Master Hand hired you to help us, right?"
"My name is Pit…"
Then they turn their attention to Lee as he slowly gets back onto his feet. "Whoa! He's getting back up again!" says Pit. "He sure is tough!"
"That's good. I wasn't having enough fun yet!" says Bowser.
Lee gets back up and angrily shouts, "How dare you disgrace me like this! I'm the strongest man in the world, and there is no way I can lose to the likes of you!"
"Strongest man in the world? Ha! I know a lot more people who are stronger than you!"
"Argh! I will show you my true powers!" says Lee, and he starts to undergo a transformation. His appearance and skin color begin to change, and he begins to grow in size too.
"Wha! What's happening to him!" gasps Pit.
"This kind of power… If I'm not wrong, it must be a Devil Fruit power!" says Bowser.
Lee has transformed into a 3-meter tall (perhaps a bit more than that), green lizard-like monster with very large muscles, spines on the back, and a long tail. "Yes, the Toka Toka Fruit: Model Iguana!" explains Lee.
Note: Toka is short for tokage, which is Japanese for lizard.
Bowser gets into fighting stance and says, "Then bring it on! This will be the battle between reptiles!"
"Your days of living are over! Prepare to die!" roars Lee. He drops onto all 4 legs and becomes a full iguana. He crawls towards Bowser at a very fast speed and rams into his body hard. The impact sends them both flying backwards and off the cliff!
"AHHHH! WE'RE FALLING!" screams Bowser.
Pit runs over to the edge and looks down at them falling. "I must rescue him fast!" Suddenly, he hears an explosion, so he turns around to see what it is.
He sees Kazena, holding a gun in her hand, standing on top of a pile of shattered rocks. "You bastard! How dare you play dirty on me!" she says angrily. "Now's my turn to play dirty on you!"

Bowser and Lee beat up each other as they continue to fall towards the earth below. They both hit the rocky ground with a bang.
BANG!
Bowser gets up from the fall and says, "Oof! That was a rough landing!"
Then the ground beneath him bursts open and Lee, in his half-beast form, pops out. "Now you will die!"
Bowser quickly hops back several steps and says, "Now, you will die!" He picks up a large rock and hurls it at Lee, but he blocks it with his massive, scaly hand. Bowser then rushes over to Lee and swings his claw, and Lee also counters it with his newly grown claws.
They both engage in a violent close range combat by slashing, punching, and kicking. Lee turns around and smacks Bowser away with his massive tail. Bowser flies straight into the cliff wall, and then Lee rushes forward to hit him. "Beast Fist!" The fist hits Bowser and crushes him against the wall hard.
"GAAAAA!"
Lee then grabs Bowser and hurls him across the place and the poor turtle crashes into a pile of rocks.
CRASH!
Still, Bowser is able to get back on his feet, but he is very injured. "Ugh… This is so painful… I must let you feel the pain also!" Bowser charges at Lee and then jumps into the air, withdraw into his shell, and begin spinning rapidly towards Lee.
Lee is too late to block the hit and the spinning shell hits him in the chest and grinds against it. "GRAAAAAA!" Lee falls backwards onto the ground and then Bowser jumps up into the sky and begins dropping back down at a very fast speed. "Bowser Bomb!" he yells.
But before Bowser hits him, Lee raises both his arms and crushes him into between like a person hitting a mosquito.
"Waaaa…"
"Your chances of defeating me in this form is zero!" growls Lee, and then he hurls Bowser away to the same pile of rocks.
CRASH!
Bowser gets back up again (amazing!) and says, "If I cannot defeat you, then that means I cannot protect my friends! I will defeat you no matter what!"
"Ha! You're so weak that you don't even have the chance to protect your friends!" laughs Lee. "After I'm done dealing with you, I'll go and kill the friend of yours who is racing! Now die!" Lee rushes at Bowser to hit him with Beast Fist.
Quick as a flash, Bowser rolls aside to avoid the punch, and then he grabs him by the tail, and using all his strength, he swings Lee around in the air and lets go, sending Lee across the place and banging into a pile of sharp rocks.
BANG!
"ARGH!" roars Lee. "You annoying thing, you!"
Bowser starts jumping up the ledges of the cliff wall. "It's good to learn the way of the ninja!" says Bowser, thinking back to the time he was in Fire Country during the Darkling incident.
Once at the top, Bowser picks up a rock and hurls it into the air, and then he breathes fire at it, turning it into a burning rock. While the burning rock is still in midair, Bowser jumps up and turns around and hits it with the back of his shell. This causes the burning rock to break into smaller pieces and they all shoot towards Lee like showering meteors.
Lee bravely charges forward and bats the rocks away with his hand, though it burns a bit. "Don't think you can defeat me using measly things like that!" he says. When he reaches the cliff wall, he turns into full iguana form and begins climbing up the wall.
"You're only leaving yourself wide open to attacks this way!" Bowser tells him. He throws several rocks down at Lee, who is able to deflect them by performing a spinning tail whip attack while still clinging to the wall.
"This isn't looking good!" Bowser says to himself. "But I still have one last trick up my sleeves!"
Lee reaches the top of the cliff but sees nobody. "Where are you, turtle brain!" Suddenly, he sees a large boulder rolling towards him at high speed. "What!" He throws his fist forward and easily shattered the boulder with a single punch. "Ha! That was… What!"
To his surprise, there was another boulder coming behind the one he cracked, and this boulder is on fire! "Ha! You didn't think I would toss two in a row at you, eh?" laughs Bowser, who was the one who pushed those boulders.
The second boulder came too suddenly and Lee didn't have the time to shatter it. The fiery boulder crashes into Lee and pushes him off the cliff together. "GRRRRRR! I won't let you defeat me this easily!" roars Lee. He grips the burning boulder hard and shatters it, but burning his skin severely in the process. Lee hits the ground on his back with a loud bang.
Bowser jumps into the sky and pulls out two petrol-filled bottles in his hand. "Koopa Fire-Burst!" He hurls the two bottles down at Lee, and then breathes fire towards it. Both the bottles and the fire touch Lee at the same time, and a large explosion occurs, consuming Lee.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
When the explosion and smoke clears, Lee, back in his human form, is lying all burned up and unconscious in a large smoky crater.
Bowser raises his hand in triumph and shouts, "I AM KING BOWSER KOOPA! HEAR ME ROAR! RAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" And he drops to the bottom with a bang.
BANG!
-
Meanwhile, Pit and Kazena are about to confront each other. "How did you escape from under those rocks?" asks Pit.
Kazena points a large odd-looking pistol at him and explains, "By using this, the Wind Blaster! It can fire a powerful blast of wind strong enough to tear down an entire skyscraper. All you have to do is control it's power level, like this!" Kazena adjusts the power to medium, and then aims it at Pit and pulls the trigger. When pulled, the gun fires a quick blast of wind forward.
Pit quickly hops aside to avoid getting shot. The blast of wind cleared away a large rock that is behind Pit. "That was quite a gale!" exclaims Pit.
"I'm not here to show you neat tricks! Take this!" Kazena takes her propeller blade and throws it at Pit. The blade hits the ground and begins rolling towards him like a giant buzz saw.
Pit quickly avoids the rolling blade and it keeps on going and cuts through a stone into two neat pieces. "Wow! What a sharp blade!" exclaims Pit. The blade keeps on going and hits a rock and gets stuck there. "I'll go and get it before her!" he thought, and he quickly runs towards the blade.
"Don't touch my property!" says Kazena. She pulls out a fan and flaps the air hard; creating a powerful gale that blew Pit away.
"Augh!" cries Pit as he tumbles onto the hard ground from the strong wind.
Kazena rushes to her blade and picks it up, and then she runs to Pit to hit him. "Die!" she yells as she brings the blade down on him. Pit quickly brings up his bow and uses it as a shield to block it.
CLANG!
Kazena still has Pit pinned to the ground, trying to bring the blade down on him while Pit tries to push it up using his bow. The two kept this up for a while, until Pit lifts up his feet and knees her in the bottom. "YEOW!" she cries and then rolls aside. Pit quickly uses this chance to get up.
Kazena stands up again and says angrily, "How dare you hit a girl in the most important spot! You're no gentleman!"
Pit breaks his bow in half and turns into twin knives. "You don't act like a lady too! How can you find killing a fun to do?"
"Someone like you will never understand! I'm going to tear off your wings and cut you into pieces!"
They both dash at each other and begin a close ranged blade combat.
CLASH!
CLANK!
CLANG!
CLANK!
CLANK!
During the midst of the combat, Kazena pulls out her fan and flaps it against the air, creating another strong wind that blows Pit away again. "Dang! How can I fall to the same attack again?" says Pit.
"It's because you're dumb!" says Kazena.
"Still, there's no way you can defeat merely using only wind power!"
"That may be true, but I can implement firepower into it!" Kazena takes out a lighter and lights up on the fan, setting it on fire.
"You're only burning your fan! What can it do?"
"Take this! Scorching Wind!" Kazena flaps the fan against the air and it creates a powerful blast of heat.
The heat wind hits Pit and not only blows him backwards, but also burning him. "AUGH!" He tumbles backwards and rolls along the ground like a tumbleweed.
"Now's my chance!" Kazena rushes forward and swings her propeller blade, making a gash across Pit's body.
SLASH!
"AAAAAAAACK!" screams Pit in pain, and then Kazena kicks him in the chin, followed by smacking him with the flat part of the blade.
SMACK!
Pit flies backwards and hits the ground hard, his body bleeding severely from the cut.
"Hahahaha! Looks like you lose!" laughs Kazena. When she sees that Pit did not move at all, she comes to the conclusion that he is dead. "So much for this pointless fight… Now to chase the target! The others better not have… YAAAAAA!" An arrow pierces her through the right elbow from behind! She kneels down in pain and looks back to see Pit up on his feet! "How dare you…!"
"I must prove myself superior, or else I can't keep up with the Smashers!" Pit says loudly to himself.
"You're in no way superior! You suck! You're going to die this instant!" Kazena whips out her Wind Blaster and points it at him.
Pit quickly responds by placing an arrow on his bow, and then when he pulls it back, the arrow begins to glow, blinding Kazena. "Ah! What's this light!" she cries. Pit lets go the arrow and it flies towards Kazena very fast, but she saw it coming and quickly rolled aside just in time to avoid it. "That was close… Hey, where's my blaster?" And she sees her Wind Blaster lying on the ground a few feet from her. She must've dropped it while trying to avoid the arrow.
As she rushes to get it, Pit dashes forward and kicks her away and then takes the Wind Blaster for himself. "Hey, give that back!" she yells at him.
Pit then charges at Kazena and carries her off the cliff and into the sky.
"YAAAAAA! What are you doing! Let go of me!" she yells while trying to struggle off Pit's grasp.
"You said you want your blaster back, right?" Pit asks her as he points the turret of the gun at her face. "Then you shall have it back!" And then he adjusts the power to MAX.
Kazena trembles in fright and says, "Wha… What are you doing! DON'T!"
Pit pulls the trigger and the gun releases a huge blast of huge that sends Kazena shooting towards the earth below at tremendous speed.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
On the ground, there is a very deep human-shaped hole (about 6 meters deep) and Kazena is resting at the bottom, knocked out of consciousness.
Pit drops the gun to the bottom and then slowly flies back onto land and sits down to rest. "Phew… I won… I wonder how's that big turtle?"
Suddenly, a pair of claws appears on the edge and then Bowser climbs up. "Oh, you're still here, kid?"
"Mr. Turtle! You're all right!" exclaims Pit.
Bowser climbs up and sits down next to him. "Of course I'm alive! How can the great Koopa be defeated to the likes of that? So, what were you doing while I was gone?"
"I fought and defeated the girl from earlier. It was a tough battle…"
"So you took care of her… I was thinking of fighting her next." Bowser gives him a pat on the back. "You did a great job, kid! You said your name was Pit, right?"
"Yes, I'm Pit, and I come from Angel Land, a kingdom situated high in the skies."
"I'm the Great King Bowser Koopa! You can always rely on me for help!"
"Thanks! But I should learn to help myself, or else I can't live up to the title Smasher."
"Don't worry! Not all of us are fighters, you know. I'm sure you will have a happy time with us!"
"Thanks!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Two mercenaries down in a row! And Bowser interacted with Pit also!
What do you think of this fight and the way my OC fought? I hope you like it! Don't forget to leave behind good reviews!
Don't worry, we will be going back to the race soon!
BTW, long-time readers of my stories should remember the original move I gave Bowser, Koopa Fire-Burst. He first learned that move in my short fanfic Koopa Fire-Burst.
