Chapter 14: The Final Fight

"You idiots!" said Ganondorf. "You idiots!"

Two metal arms over the tank reached into it, sharply pulling Red X and Jenny out of the tank and dropping them onto two metal slabs. Metal bands reached out and tied their hands and legs down to the slabs. Out of nowhere, the two glass tubes stuck right through the tank and sucked Marth and Eliwood out. Then, Shadow and Katie fell through the floor and Roy realized he was suddenly floating in the tank. Katie and Eliwood were tied together by cords in the ground. Marth and Shadow were suspended on chains upside down.

"God," said Roy. "Cleaver, Ganondorf, cleaver."

"I am, aren't I?" asked Ganondorf.

"Damn you," said Roy. "The principal's onto you, Ganondorf."

"He sure is," said Mewtwo, gliding into the room, carrying the principal by telekinesis.

"And it gets better," said Pikachu, walking out of the darkness.

Giga Bowser came forward and held his arms out. As he raised them, Crazy Hand and Master Hand came out of the ground and mimicked Giga Bowser's hands, doing exactly the same as he did. It looked very odd.

"Oh, god," said Roy, feeling hopelessness drown him. "What the hell do you want?"

"I want you to die," said Ganondorf. "What else could I want?"

"Fine, on one condition," said Roy. "You've gotta let them go."

"Fine," said Ganondorf.

Giga Bowser pointed at the prisoners, making the Hand Bros. do the same. A flash from their fingers freed the others.

"Go!" said Ganondorf. "Get the hell out of my lair."

Katie dashed towards the glass tank.

"No," said Roy. "No, you gotta get out of here."

All the others dashed forward. Marth slashed the glass down and let Roy out.

"It's regular glass from the outside," he said in response to the looks of confusion.

Ganondorf knocked Roy over.

"You miserable piece of crap!" he said, winding up the warlock punch.

Roy closed his eyes for the impact, but it never came. He looked up. Master Hand was wrapped around Ganondorf.

"You know, I think it's time for you to stop," said Pikachu. "It really is."

"We're tired of being treated like second-hand citizens," said Mewtwo.

"We really are," said Crazy Hand, twitching wildly.

"Fine, then bring it," said Ganondorf. "I'll take you all on."

"Go to hell," said the principal. "Ganondorf, you are in a lot of trouble! The judge will be very interested to hear about all this. I'm afraid the Hand Bros., Pikachu, and Mewtwo will have to do some hard time too, but at least they learned something. Giga Bowser will be reprogrammed and have his memory wiped."

Roy relaxed his head down amongst the cheering. Katie stopped to kiss him once before he fell asleep.
