The long waited final battle is here! However, this is not the final chapter yet, but we're near the end now!
Chapter 42: The Battle Before Carma! Captain Falcon vs. Deathborn!Black Shadow drops onto the floor exhausted and full of injuries. "Now you see the difference of strength between us?" Deathborn asks him. "I did not spent my 300 years in the underworld doing nothing. Now that I'm done playing with you, allow me to do what I want."
"I won't let… you!" says Black Shadow. "Ugh!" But his wounds are too heavy and he cannot move.
Deathborn steps up in front of the steel door and takes out his 300 years old certificate. "Open the door so I can meet Carma! I am a racer of the F-30 Grand Prix!"
Then a loud voice bursts into the room, saying, "ACCESS DENIED; YOU ARE NOT A WINNER."
"What!"
"It's no use, Deathborn," says BS. "The door will only open to the top 3 winners of the race."
"Argh! I did not see this coming! But even if I have to tear down this place just to open the door, I will!"
"DEATHBORN!" shouts a very loud voice. Deathborn turns to see Captain Falcon standing in the room! "I found you at last!" Then CF turns to look at BS. "So you tried to stop him yourself but failed?"
"He's too powerful!" says BS. "There's no way you can defeat him!"
"You're one of the winners, right?" asks Deathborn. "Then you came just at the right time! Show your certificate immediately!"
But CF gets into fighting stance and says, "Why should I? I'm only here to stop you from getting what you want!" At this moment, CF's pocket begins glowing. "What?" He reaches into it and takes out his certificate, which is glowing brightly. "What's happening to it?"
Then a loud voice says, "ACCESS ACCEPTED; YOU ARE A WINNER." At this, the steel door begins to open!
"Yes! It's opening!" exclaims Deathborn.
"Whoa! How did that happen?" asks CF in awe.
"No…" gasps Black Shadow.

Meanwhile…
The rest of the Smashers within the shrine are now together, and they are looking for their way through it.
"Do you have any idea where Deathborn is?" asks Wario.
"No idea! That's why we're searching for him right now!" replies Falco.
"If my suit is still in normal condition, then its radar could track it down," says Samus.
"Where do we look now?" asks Kirby.
"I know! I can just phone Fox!" says Falco.
"Why didn't you think of it earlier?" the others, except DK and Ganondorf, ask him.
Falco dials the phone and waits for a reply, and finally it did. "Fox? Where are you?"

Back outside in Sedan HQ…
"I can sense tremendous energy coming from the shrine," says Carolla. "They have come face to face with Carma at last…"
"Will they be all right?" asks Peach, concerned.
"Please Roy… Come back alive," says Lilina.
"Oh Little Falcon! Promise me that we'll meet again, wherever we may be!" says Bon Clay.
"Don't worry about them," says Master Hand. "They're not the kind to lose so easily. They are all trained by me after all! But Luigi better deliver that weapon to Captain Falcon fast. Deathborn is far too tough to defeat without using any powerful weapon, but even so, he still proves to be a challenge…"
"We can only trust in them now," says Carolla. "There is nothing else we can do."

Inside the shrine…
Behind the giant steel door is a GIGANTIC glowing light. But despite being very bright, it's brightness did not blind anyone. "This is it!" says Deathborn. "The great god Carma! I have been waiting for years for this! Now my wish is at hand!"
"So this is Carma…" says CF. "It's such a spectacular sight!"
Deathborn turns to CF and says, "You serve no more purpose of being here! You shall die!"
"Oh yeah? You should be the one dying!" says CF, getting into fighting position again.
"Don't fight him!" says BS, who is still too hurt to move. "You cannot win against him! His power is like that of a god's!"
"You mean if I defeat him, I will be as strong as the gods?" asks CF. "Then I'm doing it! Show me your moves!"
"Die!" Deathborn charges at CF very fast and throws a powerful punch. CF quickly moves his head aside, but the punch managed to scrape across his face and make a slight bruise. CF returns a punch towards Deathborn, but the villain disappears out of sight before the hit contacts.
Deathborn reappears almost immediately behind CF and hits him in the back so hard that CF is sent rolling against the floor.
"Ga! He's fast!" thought CF, coming to stop. "I must not let my guard… GA!" He is hit in the back by Deathborn very hard and sent rolling again.
"You are weak!" says Deathborn. "Anyone who fights me will know how weak he or she actually is!"
CF gets up and says, "I will prove you wrong!" He charges at Deathborn and throws several quick punches at him, but Deathborn easily evaded them all with no problem. He grabs CF by the arm and slams him onto the floor hard and then punches him in the stomach. "GAAAAAAAAAAAA!" And then Deathborn lifts up CF and hurls him far away. "YAAAAAAAA!"
"Ha! You know how weak you actually are now? There is no way you can defeat me! Black Shadow tried but only failed miserably!"
CF slowly got back up again and says, "I will not let you do what you want! I am actually stronger than you think!" CF runs towards him and jumps into the sky and performs a blazing downward kick. "Falcon Kick!" Deathborn disappears just before the foot contacts with him, and CF kicks into the floor instead. Deathborn appears next to CF and throws a swift punch, but CF barely avoided it by ducking under it, and then he performs a leg sweep to hit Deathborn, but Deathborn jumps up to avoid it and then throws a downward punch at CF. CF was able to roll aside in time to avoid it, and then he jumps at Deathborn and thrusts his knee forwards, but Deathborn stepped aside to avoid the attack.
"You are too slow to hit me!" says Deathborn.
"I admit you're fast," says CF. "But you'll soon realize my speed! I am the fastest among the Smashers!"
"Show me your speed, then!"
"Just you wait!" CF then flexes and stretches his muscles, as if he's doing warm-up. After that, he takes out the gun belt around his waist (he has, just look carefully at his picture next time) and then gets into an offensive position. "Now behold my demonic speed!" He dashes at Deathborn in a speed much faster than before and throws a quick punch at him, but Deathborn barely avoided it.
"Not much difference, eh?"
CF then attacks with a roundhouse kick, which Deathborn avoids, and then follows up by an upward kick. Deathborn was able to teleport away just in time to avoid getting hit, but the moment he reappeared, CF is already in front of him and he throws a surprise attack into his face. Deathborn was able to move aside quickly, but not before receiving a slight bruise on his face.
"Incredible… You're speed sure is amazing…" admits Deathborn.
"Now you will no longer underestimate me!" says CF as he runs towards Deathborn very fast. When CF is very near him and is about to throw a punch, Deathborn punches him in the face REALLY hard and smashes him onto the floor.
BAAAAAAANG!
"No matter how fast you are, I can still track you down and hit you by surprise," says Deathborn, cracking his knuckles.
CF gets back up with blood dripping down from his mouth and says, "Grrrr… I will not lose to the likes of you!" Then he pounces forward and gets Deathborn in the waist. "Falcon Punch!" Right when the fist is about to hit Deathborn, the villain teleports behind him and the punch fails! "What!" Deathborn kicks CF in the back and follows by beating him up mercilessly. "YAAAAAAA!"
"You are weak," says Deathborn. "There is no way you can defeat me!"
"Argh! I'll fight you with great skills then!" CF runs at Deathborn and tries his best to avoid all the attacks thrown at him. CF quickly hits him with the almighty Falcon Punch, but Deathborn counters it with an even stronger punch that cancels out the Falcon Punch. He hits CF rapidly in the body and then uppercuts him in the air. Deathborn jumps into the air and grabs the airborne CF, and hammers him in the body hard and sends him flying downwards very fast. He drops down on top of CF and crushes him underneath hard. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Deathborn gets off from the top of CF and says, "Pathetic!" But to his surprise, CF starts to move again! "How can that be! You're still alive even after taking so many hits!"
"It's because I have a strong determination on not to lose to you!" says CF, wiping blood off his mouth. "No matter what you do to me, I will always stand back up again!"
"Grrrr! I will tear you into pieces then!" Deathborn lifts up his hand and charges up and energy ball, and then hurls it at CF. CF quickly jumps aside to avoid it, but the explosion from the energy ball is so powerful that the force sends CF flying forward! He flies straight into Deathborn's hand and is immediately mauled badly.
POW! SMACK! SMASH! BANG! CRACK!
Once again, CF collapses onto the floor and stops moving. "Tsk! Useless fool!" says Deathborn, but then he is freaked out to see CF getting back up once again! "What the!"
"I will not… LOSE TO YOU!" shouts CF. "I won the race and I have my right to ask Carma for my wish! You did not win the race so you do not have the right to meet him!"
"Captain Falcon…" mumbles Black Shadow.
Deathborn is really angry now. "Argh! I'll shut your mouth this instant!"
"CAPTAIN FALCON!" yells a loud voice. They turn to the source of voice and sees Luigi standing there. "I caught up with you at last! I was going to deliver this to you!" He holds up the Holy Weapon for them to see."
"It's my Hunter Spear!" exclaims CF. "With that, the fight should be easier!"
"Catch!" Luigi throws the spear to CF and he catches it in midair.
"Thanks!" Then CF turns to Deathborn and says, "Now you are finished! With this weapon, I am much stronger than before!"
"The Holy Weapon, eh?" says Deathborn. "So that's one of the weapons capable of destroying the Darkling, and can only be wielded by good people. They call it the ultimate evil destroyer. But you are still yourself! It's not like it will make you extra strong!"
"You better not underestimate me!" CF rushes forward and flails the spear around wildly, trying to hit Deathborn. Deathborn is able to avoid all the attacks and he throws a punch at CF, who uses the pole of the spear to block it. Despite the punch being very strong, it just couldn't break the spear into two pieces like you can with a twig. CF then thrusts the spear forward to stab Deathborn, but Deathborn quickly teleports a few feet back to avoid it.
"You're not making any difference," says Deathborn. "I will destroy you and get my wish done!"
"Try and do so!" says CF. He rushes forward at Deathborn and swings his Hunter Spear horizontally. Deathborn hops back several steps to avoid it, but what he did not see coming is a crescent-shaped energy beam is shot out from the spear! The beam hits Deathborn in the body.
"YEOUCH!"
CF then runs up to Deathborn and then hits him in the stomach with a powerful Falcon Punch. "FALCON PUNCH!"
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screams Deathborn as he is sent flying backwards from the punch.
"Way to go!" exclaims Luigi.
"So that's the power of the Holy Weapon…" says Black Shadow.
"Well, now who is the weaker one?" Captain Falcon asks Deathborn. "I told you I am stronger than you think!"
Deathborn gets up and glares at him angrily, "Why you!"
