So I'm entering college… Perhaps updating may not be as often, but I'll be sure to keep my stories updated and not forget about them!
Chapter 20: Chaos at the Finish Line! Giant Robot Eggstroyer Attacks!
The giant robot that Eggman made to destroy Sonic fully crawls out from the cliff and lets out a mechanical roaring sound. "What on earth is that!" gasps Ness.
"It's Eggman!" points out Tails. "I can see his logo on the body of the robot!"
"Eggman is up to no good again!" says Sonic. "I'm gonna show him that his inventions suck a lot!"
The robot, Eggstroyer, opens its hand wide and energy gathers around it, and it fires an electrical beam forward, but everyone quickly got out of the way to avoid it. "Whoa! That's dangerous to play with!" says Sonic.
"I'm confused on what's going around here!" says Goroh as he pulls out his katana. "So I'm going to end this madness here!"
"Looks like they're going to fight the robot," says Marth.
"It's a good idea, since it's gonna mess with us anyway," says Ness. "Why don't we go over and… WHOA!" Ness quickly ducks down just as Cassmon swings her saw blade horizontally at him. "Hey! What's the big idea!"
"Just doing my orders," replies Cassmon. She strikes with her blade again, but Ness quickly hops backwards to avoid it.
"Cassmon! Please stop! Don't do anything to him!" Marth shouts at her.
"Sorry, but I cannot disobey commands."
"Right, if a job is given to us, we must complete it no matter what," says Gungamel. He points his gun at Ness and fires a shot, but Ness is able to avoid it.
"Hey! You're getting on my nerves!" says Ness angrily.
Gungamel continues firing his gun, and Ness dances back and forth to avoid it. Cassmon dashes at him and swings the blade, but Ness avoids it by quickly rolling aside and at the same time escaping the bullets.
"Argh! I can't let them do what they want!" says Marth. He tries to move, but his wound stops him. "Ugh!"
"Marth! You're injured!" Ness says to him. "Let me help you! PSI Life up!" He releases an aura from his hand touches Marth's wound, and it automatically heals.
"I feel better, Ness. Thanks!"

Meanwhile, Sonic and Goroh are fighting the Eggstroyer, and Tails is cowering inside the Tornado. "Get rid of him, Sonic!" says Tails.
"You bet I will!" Sonic runs at Eggstroyer and hurls himself at the robot and kicks it hard in the body, leaving a small dent on it.
"You got some insane strength there, rodent!" says Goroh. "Maybe you should see this!" Goroh jumps into the air and brings his sword back down with full force to hit the robot, but it quickly uses its hand to grab Goroh's sword, and then it transfers electricity into the sword and zaps him. "YAAAAAAA!" The robot lets go and Goroh drops to the ground.
"Ha! You want me to see this?" asks Sonic sarcastically.
"There's nothing to laugh about! I'm going to get serious this time!"
"Watch and learn from me!" says Sonic. He runs at the robot again and jumps into the air and curls into a ball. But just before Sonic impacts with Eggstroyer, the robot swings a fist at Sonic and knocks him aside. "OW!"
"SONIC!" cries Tails.
-
Back at the theater…
"MY SONIC! NOOOOOO! FIGHT IT! YOU CAN WIN! SOOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIC!" screams Amy at the top of her voice while jumping up and down madly. The people around her try their best to calm her down, but she would just kick them away.
"Argh! She's annoying me!" says Ganondorf, annoyed.
"She's worrying a bit too much about Sonic!" says Falco. "We can't watch the show properly like this!"
"I wonder who would sent that kind of robot to cause havoc?" wonders Roy.
Eggman is very pleased with his own creation. "Ha! There is no way they can destroy Eggstroyer!"
-
"Take this! Metal Cutout Slash!" yells Goroh as he charges at Eggstroyer. He swings his sword at the robot and slashes across the body hard, creating a large gash.
"Now you got some stuff to show this time!" says Sonic.
"I told you I would be serious!"
Eggstroyer lets out some sort of a painful roaring noise, and then it's chest opens apart and several guns appear from the inside! "It's going to fire lots of weapons!" cries Tails. "Sonic! Do something!"
"I won't give it a chance!" says Sonic as he runs towards Eggstroyer.
The guns begin to glow and then fires several laser beams at once. Sonic quickly turns aside to avoid it, and Goroh also dodges them.
The lasers keep on going to where Ness, Marth, and the other two are. They see the laser coming and dodge it too. "Annoying thing!" says Gungamel. He points his bazooka at the robot and fires a large shot at it.
The shot hits the robot and explodes, but it emerges again from the smoke of the explosion unharmed. "I think it's best that we take out this robot first," says Ness.
"I agree," says Marth. "That way things will be easier."
Everyone charges at the robot at the same time. Sonic jumps up and smashes it hard with a homing attack, Goroh slashes it in the body hard, Marth strikes it in the arm with his sword, Ness shoots it with PK Thunder, Cassmon slams it with her saw blade, and Gungamel shoots it with his bazooka.
All the attacks hit the Eggstroyer at the same time, but even after taking all these hits, the robot still remains active. The robot angrily stomps towards them and raises its fist, gathering electricity into it, and then it delivers a powerful punch into the ground hard, creating an explosion that send them all flying backwards.
BAM!
"Whoa! This guy got something!" says Sonic.
Eggstroyer bends over and its back opens, releasing several flying mechanical pods of sorts. "What are those?" asks Marth.
The pods aim their guns at them and fire a large electrical beam. They quickly run aside and when the beam hits the cliff wall, it blasts a large hole in it. "Whoa! That's quite a blast for something that small!" exclaims Ness.
"If we do not destroy it fast, then it can cause a rock slide that will bury us all!" says Gungamel.
"Let us get rid of those pods first!" says Goroh. He runs at a pod and delivers a powerful slash, cutting it in two.
Sonic hops towards a pod and smacks in the front part hard and shatters it, and then from there, he homes into another airborne pod and destroys it also. 2 pods fly at Marth to tackle him, but he destroyed them with a single Shield Breaker. Ness uses PSI Rocking to blast a good amount of pods into pieces. Gungamel rapidly shoots the air with a machine gun and shot down a couple of them in a few sweeps.
The Eggstroyer then turns its attention to Cassmon and then goes to attack her. "Cassmon, watch out!" shouts Marth.
"Don't worry, she's not the kind to fall for that," says Gungamel.
The Eggstroyer lifts up its foot and brings it down at Cassmon with full force. Everyone, except Gungamel, is shocked at the sight, but then they are surprised at what they saw next. Cassmon easily used both arms to grab of hold the foot and kept it from coming down! "Whoa! How did she do that!" exclaims Goroh.
"It's not surprising, since her strength is the strongest among us," explains Gungamel. "Her saw blade weighs around 2 tons, and yet, she is the only one who can pick it up and swing it around as if it's only 2 grams."
Using all her strength, Cassmon lifts the whole robot into the air just by grabbing only one of its feet! "Sorry about this," Cassmon says to the robot sweetly. "I hope you don't take this personally." And then she hurls the robot at the large pile of rocks that is blocking the way to the finish line.
CRASH!
"Wow! What a strength for such a sexy lady!" exclaims Goroh.
"Cassmon! Behind you!" Marth yells at her. Cassmon turns around just in time to see a flying pod firing an electrical beam at her. She quickly steps side to avoid it, and then runs to the pod and smashes it into pieces using a single punch.
"Wow… She's sure strong," says Sonic.
"That was nothing! I just worked out everyday," says Cassmon. Unknown to her, Eggstroyer slowly opens its chest, this time revealing a single large cannon.
"Cassmon! Behind you!" Gungamel shouts at her.
Cassmon turns around in time to see the cannon, but quick as a flash, the cannon shot out a laser beam that hits her dead on.
BBBBBZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" shrieks Cassmon loudly as the laser beam zaps her. When the beam stops, she collapse onto the ground, all burned up and unconscious.
"CASSMON!" scream Marth and Gungamel in unison.
Marth runs to her and picks her up in his arms. "Cassmon! Please, say something! Don't just die like this!"
Without a warning, Eggstroyer fires another laser beam at Marth. Just in time, Ness jumps in between them and creates a shield that blocks it! "Ugh! This beam is powerful!" mumbles Ness. "I can't it hold it up any longer!"
"You hold on there, kid!" says Sonic. "Let us do the finishing blow!"
"It's time to use my ultimate technique!" says Goroh, brandishing his katana.
"This is for Cassmon!" says Gungamel, loading a new rocket into his bazooka.
The 3 of them all charge at Eggstroyer together. Sonic spins in place furiously and beings to glow with a blue aura, and he shouts, "Sonic Shot!" And he shoots out a blue shockwave.
Samurai Goroh holds his katana in a posture and says, "Ramming Vehicle Wave!" He swings his sword against the air hard and shoots out a large wind blade.
Gungamel aims his bazooka at the head of the Eggstroyer and says, "Sure Death Headshot!" He pulls the trigger and shoots out a large rocket.
All three projectiles hit the robot at the same time, and then destroy it. The robot lets out a loud cry before exploding.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"We did it!" the 3 exclaim as they watch metal pieces rain down from the sky.
-
At the theater…
"Wow! They did-a eet!" exclaims Mario.
"That was so cool!" exclaims Pichu.
"YEEEEEEEESSSSS! SONIC! YOU'RE MY FAVORITE! SOOOOOOONIIIIIIIC!" shouts Amy happily and wildly.
Eggman's mouth is dropping open wide and there is a look of huge shock on his face. "Ah… ah… ah… Im… possi… ble… This cannot… be…!"
-
The explosion of the Eggstroyer also blasted the pile of rocks behind it into pieces, revealing the way to the finish line! "Yeah! That was awesome!" exclaims Sonic while doing a short break dance.
"You did it, Sonic!" exclaims Tails.
"Now I feel much better!" says Goroh, putting back his katana.
"This wasn't part of the mission, but it was worth it," says Gungamel.
Marth looks at the still unconscious Cassmon and is glad to see that her pulse is still active. "Sigh… I was hoping to tell you how much I love you, but it seems we are in different paths… I'm afraid we cannot agree with each other anymore… Well, Ness… Eh? Ness?" Marth looks around to see where is Ness.
"Hey! That brat is heading for the finish line himself!" yells Goroh.
Sure enough, Ness is driving for his life towards the finish line by himself! "First place! First place!" he keeps on chanting in his mouth.
"No way I'm gonna let him win!" Goroh quickly runs back towards his car, and so does Sonic.
"Oh no! He must not succeed!" gasps Gungamel. He quickly takes out a gun to shoot him.
Marth sees this and quickly slashes him in the back using his sword
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams Gungamel, and then he drops onto the ground from the slash.
"Don' harm my friend!" says Marth angrily.
Though Goroh and Sonic Team tried their best, they still cannot beat Ness, for he has already cross the finish line. "WINNER!" shouts Ness.
"After witnessing an unexpected but amazing fight, we have a winner at last!" announces Talko. "Congratulations for Ness!"
"I win! I win! I win!" sings Ness happily.
"Aw man! This sucks!" says Sonic sadly.
"We failed, Sonic…" says Tails sadly. "We lost our pride…"
Goroh stomps the ground angrily and curses" Argh! If it weren't for those chaotic happenings earlier, I would've won! Curse you all!"
Gungamel slowly looks up and mutters, "No… We failed… Mission failed…"
Marth goes to Ness and pats him on the back. "You did well, Ness!"
"Haha! I was surprised that I made it too!" replies Ness.
"Congratulations!" says a priest. "Ness, Sonic and Tails, and Samurai Goroh are the winners of this race!" And he proceeds to hand them prizes.
-
"WHOA! He did it!" exclaims Falco.
"That's pretty hard to believe," says CF.
"I knew my invention would help him!" says Fox.
"SOOOONIIIIC! NOOOOOOOO!" cries Amy sadly. "HOW CAN YOU NOT GET FIRST PLACE!"
Pokey is both shocked and angry to see this. He is gritting his teeth angrily and fuming madly. "Argh…! Ness! How can this be! And they said 99.9 percent success rate! NOOOOOOOOOO!"
-
That night, at the hotel café…
"And then I ran to the finish line while everyone else wasn't watching!" says Ness proudly to his friends.
"That was pretty good of you!" Young Link tells him.
"You're improving a lot, Ness!" says Fox.
"Still, it's nothing compared to me!" says Captain Falcon.
"Captain Falcon, always filled with pride and confidence," says Mewtwo philosophically.
"What was that supposed to mean?"
"Pride and confidence is what makes a man succeed, but too much pride will bring shame to oneself."
"You talk so creepily…"
"Do you want to hear again on how I won?" asks Ness.
"Must you repeat it for the 3rd time?" Ganondorf asks him, annoyed.
"Hey guys, let's not forget our new friend here!" says Bowser, pointing to Pit.
"Oh yeah! We almost forgot about him!" says Zelda.
"Hello, everyone! My name is Pit!" says the angel boy.
So everyone introduces themselves to Pit, and after all that is done…
"So why do you want to be with us?" Link asks him.
"I always wanted to have friends in the world below, because I heard so many wonderful tales about it," replies Pit. "Then Master Hand came and said he's looking for some reliable followers. I offered to be his follower, thinking it would give me the chance to see the world below, but he said I'm not strong enough to protect anyone or even myself. He promised he would come back to pick me when I'm strong enough. I trained myself everyday until the day finally came…"
"That's good of you!" says Peach. "You are most welcome to be with us!"
"Yeah! We can play all day long and have unlimited amount of fun and be bad boys!" says Ness.
"Thanks, Mr. Ness! But I don't want to do anything that hurts people."
"That not what I mean! And you don't have to be so formal."
As they are talking, Sonic and Tails walk over to their table. "Hey Ness! Congratulations on beating me!" says Sonic.
"You are a good racer yourself too! I actually won by luck," says Ness.
"You are very good!" says Tails. "This is the first time somebody beat us in a race!"
"Right, I was always so sure of myself. Guess pride can be the downfall to oneself! I hope you good luck in your other races! But I tell you the truth: I am going to be one of the 3 to meet Carma!"
"And that would be me too!" says Bowser.
"And me!" adds Kirby between mouthfuls.
"Wrong! Me!" says Falco.
"No, I will be one of them," says CF sternly.
"Nah, it's me!" says Ganondorf.
"You got any comments?"
"Yeah! You got some too?"
"You want to fight?"
"Bring it on!"
Pit tries to stop them from arguing. "Um… Mr. Falcon and Mr. Ganondorf, please don't fight. I don't really like to see violence between close friends."
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" they both shout at him."
"Um…"
"Leave them alone, they're always like that," Peach tells Pit. "But they aren't serious about it either. They'll just forget about it a few minutes later."
"Thanks for telling me, Ms. Peach."
Meanwhile, Marth is looking out the window into the night city, and he lets out a deep sigh. Kirby goes over to him and says, "Forget it, Marth. That girl isn't the type you should be going after."
"Yeah! Why should you make out with someone who wanted to kill our friend?" Yoshi tells him.
"I know… It's still hard to accept, though… I have never seen someone as beautiful as her…" says Marth.
"If I would choose, I would choose a girl who not only loves me but also loves my friends!" says Kirby.
"I want to choose one who can cook for me!" says Yoshi.
"That's the best kind! Why haven't I thought of it?"
Marth looks out the window again, and he says to himself, "Cassmon… I wonder if we'll meet again…?"
TO BE CONTINUED…
And so ends the race of Rocky Valley…
Did you expect Ness to get first place? Quite a surprise that he beat Sonic, right?
And Pit has officially joined the Smashers, and he will be with them throughout the story. How about Wario, you say? He's been in this story for some time, but isn't officially a Smasher yet. Will he ever join? Only time will tell!
Reviews and nice comments, please!
