Chapter 41: Time is Running Out! The Epic Battle of Sedan HQ!
A large 20-meter tall robot is rampaging through the streets of Sedan HQ. The robot is gray and has a large rectangular body, and a round head and also with long arms and legs. "I'm going to unleash my rage upon everyone!" yells the voice of Eggman from inside the robot. "Curse that Sonic for making me lost the race!"
"Eggman! You're getting too far at this!" shouts Sonic, who is standing on a rooftop.
"It's all your fault, you hedgehog! I will get you for this!"
"Not before you get me first!" Sonic jumps up and shoots himself at Eggman, but he got whacked away by the robot's giant hand. "YA!"
"Hahahaha! You cannot destroy the almighty Eggstroyer II!" laughs Eggman. "It is much more powerful than the previous version, and I have full control of it too!"
"Darn!"
"I'll help you, Sonic!" says Tails, who is riding the Tornado. He buzzes around Eggstroyer II and shoots with the biplane's mounted machine gun, but the bullets just bounce off the robot.
"Ha! You think that peashooter can scratch a thick armor like this?" asks Eggman. He swings an arm to hit Tails, but Tails manages to fly off to safety.
"You cannot get me either!" says Tails.
"Then try this!" says Eggman. The Eggstroyer stretches out its hand and several missiles shoot out from its finger and fly after Tails.
"Whoa!" Tails quickly fly under two of the missiles and then the following ones. But unknown to him, the missiles turn around and strike him in the back of the Tornado! "NOOOOOOOO!" The Tornado begins to fall towards the earth below, and Tails is expecting his doom, but then suddenly, the biplane freezes in midair!
Mewtwo came and rescued him by freezing the plane in place using telekinesis.
"Thanks a lot, Mewtwo!" says Tails.
"It was necessary for friends to help each other," he says as he slowly brings the Tornado onto the ground.
"Tsk! The Smashers are trying to cross my path also!" says Eggman. "I shall get my revenge for how they disgraced me back during the Darkling incident!" The Eggstroyer II lifts up its feet to crush Mewtwo and Tails, but Mewtwo quickly teleports away with Tails and the giant robot misses. "Miss!"
"I'm not letting you go any further with your evil ways!" says Sonic. He curls into a ball and spins against the leg of the Eggstroyer II, but it did not leave behind any scratch whatsoever.
"Ha! The steel armor is too tough, eh?" says Eggman. "Unless you know how to bust steel, then there is no way you can bust through this!"
Suddenly, a light arrow shoots down from the sky and hits the robot in the head.
"What the?"
Pit flies down next to the robot and says, "You fiend! This is where your sinful ways come to an end!"
"You think you can get me with that toy arrow? Don't make me laugh!" Eggman makes the robot swing it arms at Pit, but he quickly flies aside and fires another arrow at the robot, but the arrow simply bounces off it.
"He's right! My arrows aren't strong enough to penetrate his armor!" says Pit.
"Hahahaha! Nobody can stop me now!" laughs Eggman.
"Dismantler Slash!" shouts a loud voice, and suddenly, the right foot of the Eggstroyer II shatters into pieces.
"WHAT THE HECK!"
Samurai Goroh was the person who did this. "Didn't you say, 'Unless you know how to bust steel, there is no way you can bust through this'," says Goroh. "Unluckily for you, I have trained myself to cut steel so that I can cut my opponents' car into pieces, and now I'm going cut the giant tin man of yours into pieces too!"
"Argh! I'll crush you before you can!"
The Eggstroyer II lifts up its other foot and tries to crush Goroh with it, but he quickly hops back to avoid it. Goroh then swings his katana against the air rapidly. "Traffic Jam!" He shot out seemingly thousands of small air blades at the robot, hitting it rapidly in the body and amazingly made a couple of scratches also.
"Ugh! How can you be this powerful to cut my robot's armor!" gasps Eggman. "That's it! No more games!" He presses another button and the chest of the Eggstroyer II opens, revealing several missiles under it, and they all shoot out.
But then several bullets fly in from nowhere and destroy all the missiles.
"WHAT!"
Master Hand and Crazy Hand fly down and MH says, "We are going to stop you from doing your evil ways also!"
"I don't care how many are against me! I will kill you all!"
"Get ready for the this!" says MH. "Crazy Hand, fusion attack!"
"Yes sir, Master!" says CH.
The two hands get besides each other and folds into a fist. "Double Dragon Fist!" they shout as they launch themselves at Eggstroyer II and give it a powerful punch.
BANG!
The punch is so powerful that the giant robot is sent flying backwards.
Meanwhile, Barney comes out onto his balcony and says, "What a lovely day! I can just sing!" Suddenly, the Eggstroyer II falls on top of his hotel and crushes down the entire building into smithereens.
CRASH!
"Argh! I will never be defeated this time!" says Eggman as he controls the robot to get up again, but because one foot is destroyed, it has a hard time doing so and can't even stand properly. When he finally made it stand up, he sees several people in front of him, ready to take on him. "Humph! You guys are all coming to your deaths!"
"Oh no we don't, Eggman!" says Sonic. "Your action is not the right attitude around here! Just because you lost the race doesn't mean you can throw tantrum like a little child!"
"Shut up and die!" roars Eggman. The Eggstroyer's hand turns into an arm cannon and fires an energy shot at Sonic, who quickly runs to avoid it.
Pikachu and Pichu charge up electricity and lets it loose at Eggstroyer II, shocking it badly.
"Ha! It's not going to do much!" says Eggman. "Electricity will only boost this robot's capabilities!"
Cloud is running very fast on the rooftops of the buildings, and also jumping from one building to another. He got to the building nearest to the robot and uses Omni Slash on the robot, making several cuts on its body.
Banjo holds up Kazooie like a gun and she shoots out several ice eggs at the feet the robot, encasing it in ice so that it can't move.
Mewtwo charges up a like Shadow Ball and hurls it at the robot and creates a large explosion that blasts through its armor. Yoshi keeps on hurling as many eggs as he can at the robot, though it didn't do much.
"Grrrr! You guys are destroying my robot!" shouts Eggman. "I'll get you all for this! Full Attack Power!" The chest of the robot opens wide to reveal a large cannon inside. "This powerful laser cannon will blast you all into pieces! Prepare to die!" But before he can charge up the laser, a large amount of sand appears out of nowhere and wraps itself around the robot like a snake! "What the!"
"I will not allow you to use whatever you want," says Sunaman, the one who used those sands.
"Looks like you're down to nothing, Eggman!" says Sonic.
"I'm not finished yet!" shouts Eggman as he struggles to get the robot out of the binding sands.
"Now we shall finish you here!" says Master Hand. "Prepare for the worst! Crazy Hand, fusion attack!"
"Yes sir!" says CH.
Both the hands fly in circles around Eggstroyer II. "Tornado of Pain!" they shout as they begin punching the robot furiously while flying around it.
BANG! SMASH! POW! BANG!
"GAAAAAAAAAAAA! YOU'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING!" screams Eggman.
The Hands back off from the robot again and shout, "RISING DRAGON PUNCH!" Master Hand uppercuts the Eggstroyer high into the sky and Crazy Hand flies above it and pounds the robot in the head, making it shoot towards the earth below very fast.
Barney gets up from the ruins of the hotel and says, "Did the sky just fell on me?" And then the Eggstroyer falls on top of Barney.
CRASH!
"Now everyone! Give it to final blow!" shouts MH.
Pikachu and Pichu charge up their strongest electricity and let loose a thunderbolt that flies into the sky and drops back down. "Twin Lightning!"
Samurai Goroh swings his sword against the air very hard and shoots out an air blade that travels in a spiral formation. "Giant Train Impact!"
Mewtwo stretches out both his hands and shoots out a large laser beam. "Hyper Beam!"
"Egg Throw!" shouts Yoshi as he throws a simple egg.
Pit pulls back his arrow to the max and it glows at a very bright light. "Holy Arrow!" And then lets it shoot forward.
Sunaman controls his sand and forms them into the face of a lizard-like monster. "Desert Monster Rampage!" And the sand pounces at the robot.
All the attacks hit the Eggstroyer II at the same time and destroy it in a huge explosion.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Eggman flies out in his Egg-O-Matic and into the sky. "Curse you all!" he says angrily. "Don't think you have seen the last of me! I will get my revenge and take over the world someday! Hahahahahaha!"
"You're not going anywhere, Eggman!" says Sonic, who is being carried into the sky by Tails. "Okay, let go, Tails!"
"Yes Sonic!" Tails throws Sonic upwards into the sky and Sonic curls up and shoots himself at Eggman.
"Homing Attack!"
Sonic hits the Egg-O-Matic hard and breaks it into pieces. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screams Eggman. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" And he falls to the earth below and on top of a pile of rocks.
BANG!
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaah! You have ruined everything!" yells Eggman angrily.
Suddenly, Bon Clay goes spinning towards him and kicks him in the stomach hard. "Un Deux!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams Eggman as he is sent flying backwards from the kick.
CRASH!
Sonic lands onto the ground and says, "Yeah! We defeated Eggman!" And everyone else cheers happily over the victory.
"It was through everyone's help did we defeat him!" says MH.

Back in the shrine…
Fox and Luigi are running through a long tunnel. "Are you sure Falcon is in here?" asks Luigi.
"I'm sure," says Fox. "Since I am a fox, I can easily track down his scent. Without doubt, he's here."
"Hey! I see a door there! Perhaps it's the exit?"
Suddenly, the door bursts open and made them surprised.
"Whoa! What was that?" gasps Luigi.
They run inside and see Captain Falcon kneeled down on the floor, panting heavily. "Boy! He sure is tough!" says CF, and then he spots the two. "Hey! You guys came at!"
"Aren't you going after Deathborn?" asks Fox.
"From what I know, he is behind that door! But Zoda won't let me through!"
"Nobody escapes from my hands!" says Zoda.
"Grrrr! If I don't hurry, then Deathborn will get what he wants!"
"Falcon! You try your best to get pass him and I'll hold Zoda down!"
"I would want to fight him myself, but Deathborn is what I'm after most!"
"Nobody can get pass me!" says Zoda.
"Let's go!" says Fox. Both he and CF charge at Zoda very fast. Fox and Zoda got together and lock into sumo position of pushing back and forth while CF runs past them and into the next room.
"Dang! I let him slip!" curses Zoda. "But it's not like he can do anything to Deathborn! I'll take on you myself and kill you! You'll never escape from me!"
"Go Captain Falcon! I'll handle everything myself here!" says Fox as he struggles against Zoda.
"Captain Falcon! You forgot this!" shouts Luigi, holding up the Hunter Spear. But CF did not hear it and continues to running into the next room.
"Dang…" mumbles Fox when he heard that.
"Now you will die!" says Zoda as he uses his strength to hurl Fox aside.
"Ya!"
Zoda charges at Fox and throws a downward punch at him, but Fox quickly rolls aside and the punch lands into the floor instead, and also making a small crater.
Fox gets up and performs a flying kick at Zoda, but he blocks it. Then they two got into a furious close range combat of punching, kicking, and blocking. They are fighting so fast that dusts on the ground are sent flying around them like a cyclone.
"Whoa! Even I can feel the force of their fighting from here!" says Luigi while shielding himself from the dusts.
Zoda made a move that caught Fox off guard and delivers a kick to his face and sent him to the floor. Then he grabs Fox by the neck and punches him in the face rapidly before hurling him away.
CRASH!
"Gya! He's tough!" thought Fox.
"Death Cartwheel!" Zoda performs a cartwheel and spins towards Fox very fast.
"What the!" Fox quickly hops aside just in time to avoid the impact. Zoda keeps on spinning and even travels up the wall! From the wall, Zoda jumps off it and lands towards Fox, but Fox got away again.
Immediately after Zoda lands, he hurls himself at Fox and hits him in the body. "Death Pounce!"
"AH!"
"Now you're dead!" says Zoda. He knees Fox several times in the stomach and slams him against the ground violently.
"Fox! Noooo!" cries Luigi upon seeing Fox getting beaten.
Fox quickly puts up the reactor and it zaps Zoda's hand, thus making him let go. Fox quickly got back a few steps and then charges forward and hits him with Fire Fox.
BANG!
"Yaaaa!" cries Zoda.
"Looks like I'm going to go all out on you!" says Fox. "I haven't been in such violent fight for a long time!"
They both charge at each other and throw several violent punches and swipes at each other. Zoda then jumps into the air and drops down towards Fox with his fist pointing down. "Death Meteor!" Fox gets out of the way just as Zoda hits the floor and creating a large crater.
Fox runs to Zoda and then jumps over him, but grabs his head in the process and then hurls him across the room.
BANG!
Zoda gets up again and performs a flying kick, which Fox avoids again. Zoda runs to Fox at a very fast speed and begins hitting him with several super fast punches. "Death Piston!"
Fox uses his arms to block the attack, but the punches are too powerful and he is knocked off guard and is pummeled rapidly by the furious punches.
POW! BANG! WHACK! BAM!
"GYAAAAH!" screams Fox as he is beaten up badly and knocked onto the floor.
Zoda hops into the sky again and shoots downwards very fast with one foot sticking out. "Death Anchor Drop!"
Fox quickly rolls aside, but not before getting stomped in the tail badly. "YAAAAAAAAAA!"
Zoda lifts Fox up by the tail and slams him against the ground like he is a hammer.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"FOX!" screams Luigi.
And then Zoda hurls Fox away into the pile of unused furniture.
BANG!
"HAHAHAHA! I got you now!" laughs Zoda.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" screams Luigi.
Zoda turns to Luigi and says, "Now it's your turn!"
Suddenly, a table is hurled at Zoda, but he quickly destroys it before it touches him. Fox jumps out from the pile of furniture and charges at him. "I'm not finished yet!"
The two of them tackle each other hard and then Fox throws a strong kick into Zoda's abdomen and then follows it with several lightning-speed kicks. "Infinite Shining Kick!"
Zoda gets kicked multiple times and then Fox kicks him in the chin and flips him into the sky. Fox then jumps up and then lands both feet onto Zoda's stomach and stomps him to the floor hard.
BANG!
Fox hops back and pants heavily as he is really exhausted from the furious actions. To his surprise, Zoda slowly got back up again! "Grrrr! You are making me angry!" says Zoda. "Die!" Zoda charges at Fox and throws several mad hand swipes, and Fox tries his best to block it. Suddenly, fire bursts out from around Fox and Zoda quickly pulls back. "What the! Fire coming from his body?"
Fire begins to cover around Fox, and in fact, Fox seems to have grown extra tails behind him! The tails look more like they're made of fire rather than fur.
"What is that! You have a fiery aura around you!" gasps Zoda.
"It's just my common technique, Fire Fox," explains Fox. "Except this time the firepower is perhaps even stronger than before, as the number of tails I have right now indicates!"
"I can still destroy you! What's so special about extra tails? You're still a pushover!" Zoda then dashes at Fox very fast. "Death Bull Charge!"
Fox then shoots forward very fast like fireball that has a whopping total of 9 tails behind him. "Nine-Tailed Fire Fox!" Right when he is about to hit with Zoda, Fox stretches out his arms and swipes with his hands. "Vulpine Slash!"
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screams Zoda as he is knocked into the air from the powerful, fiery slash. He drops back down and lands onto the floor hard with a thud and is KO'ed.
Fox lands onto the floor and the fiery aura around him disappears, not to mention the extra tails. "You did it, Fox!" says Luigi. "You were so awesome!" But then Fox collapse onto the floor. "Fox!"
"I'm too tired to go on…" says Fox. "You go ahead and find Captain Falcon."
"But… I'm scared!"
"Didn't you say you want to be brave? Carma is just ahead! And this is your big chance to meet him! Courage does not come to you like magic, but rather, it comes from your strong heart and determination! Be brave and do what you must do, Luigi!"
Luigi is touched by his speech, and he says, "I will!" And he runs into the next room to find CF.
"Good luck…"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Coming up next is the battle with Deathborn! What has become of Black Shadow anyway? And will Luigi be able to deliver the Holy Weapon in time?
And what do you think of the fight? Very action-packed, eh? And no, Fox does not have a nine-tailed fox demon living inside him. It is just some cool technique that he pulled out using the Fire Fox, nothing mythical.
