July 22, which is today, is my birthday! The presents that will make me glad are good reviews from you fans! Happy birthday to me!
Chapter 11: The Difference Between Strength! The Superhuman Powers of the CP9!
All the Smashers, Meta-Knight, and the 3 Space Pirates are now in Otacon's room, face-to-face with the CP9 and Samus themselves. "We found you at last, Samus!" says Pichu. Samus just looks at them without saying anything.
"Meta-Knight, I thought I told you to run!" says Otacon.
Meta-Knight sees Otacon lying injured on the floor. "Otacon!" he gasps. "What happened to you? And Lucci, Califa, Kaku, and Blueno! What are you all doing here?" And then he notices the masks they were wearing lying on the floor. "Those masks… Can that mean…?"
"Yes, it is as you think, partner," replies Lucci.
"You were the ones who were after Otacon's life all along!"
"Yes, we work for the government. We are the CP9, assassins of justice."
"So you were the ones who were influencing Samus to do such thing also!" says Captain Falcon.
"How dare you, Lucci! How can you do this!" Out of rage, Meta-Knight pulls out his sword and charges at him and swings it. Lucci easily avoided is and thrusts his finger forward and hits Meta-Knight below the eye, and piercing through his mask and skin! "GA!"
"We have been trained in the art of Rokushiki," explains Lucci. "It is a form of martial arts that is beyond the power of average humans. We are now superhuman and have pretty much turned our bodies into weapon. Therefore, it is impossible for you to defeat a Rokushiki user."
Meta-Knight slowly looks up at him and says, "Why…? Aren't we friends and working partners? Why the… sudden change…?"
"We were friends, but not any longer. We have a mission to complete."
"How can you forget the times we spent together? We worked together, enjoyed together, and even suffered together! We were like a big happy family! Don't you feel anything during all those times?"
"I do not feel a single ounce of pity or friendship at all," replies Lucci ruthlessly. "We have dedicated our lives to the government since we were young, and we only obey them and no one else."
"Why…? You're no human!" says Meta-Knight.
"Enough talking. Die." Lucci lifts up his foot to stomp him, but suddenly, CF charges forward and throws a quick punch at Lucci, who easily blocked it with his hand. "You have no place in this. Get out of our business."
"But I have!" replies CF. "And furthermore? Isn't he your friend? You shouldn't be hurting a friend!"
"I told you we are no longer friends, so it doesn't matter if I kill him or not."
"You're a monster in disguised as a human! You make me sick! Mach Punch!" CF then throws several quick punches at Lucci.
"Tekkai!" Lucci gets into defensive position and then all the punches do nothing to him at all. It's as if CF is punching an iron wall.
"Whoa! We took no damage from those hits!" gasps Pix.
"What! How is this possible?" gasps CF.
"Shigan!" Lucci thrusts his finger forward and pierces into CF's waist and sends him flying backwards.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
CRASH!
"I told you it's useless trying to defeat a Rokushiki user," says Lucci.
"I don't get it! What is happening here?" asks Pork. "Aren't the Smashers supposed to be the guilty ones?"
"Apparently, they were innocent all along," says Punk. "It seems that these CP9 people are the actual killers, and they made it seem like the Smashers did it."
"So they are real targets?"
"Yes."
Marth turns to Samus and says to her, "Samus! Why are you cooperating with these kinds of people?"
"Yeah! You should-a come back-a with us!" says Mario.
"Didn't I tell Wario and Yoshi already I'm not coming back?" says Samus. "And I mean my words."
"But I don't get it!" says Pichu. "Why would you want to be leaving us in the first place?"
"It is to fulfill a wish," she replies. "If I stay with you, then my wish will never come true."
"What kind of wish do you have that you want to leave us? Just tell us and we can help you fulfill it!" says Pikachu.
"There is no one else that can fulfill it for me. This is the only way I can fulfill it. Now I am leaving and will not see you guys again."
"Your job here is done, Samus," Lucci says to her. "You may go first." Then Samus turns and heads for the window.
"Don't go!" cries CF. "You cannot go unless you get permission from Master Hand!" He runs to stop her, but Lucci gets in his way and grabs him by the neck.
"Don't interfere," he says.
"You're the one… who shouldn't… interfere!" mumbles CF with his neck gripped tightly. And then Lucci hurls him back.
CRASH!
Marth pulls out his sword and goes for her, but Kaku gets in his way. "You're not stopping her from doing anything," says Kaku.
"Out of the way!" Marth swings his sword at him, but Kaku pulls out a pair of saws and blocks the hit, and they engage into a swordfight. "Mario! Go get her quick!"
"Okey-dokey!" says Mario, and he runs after Samus, but then Blueno blocks his way.
"Oh no you don't," he says.
"Outta my way!" Mario throws a punch forward.
"Tekkai."
When Mario's fist hits his body, Mario felt pain in his hand. "Yeow!"
"With Tekkai, we can make our bodies as hard as iron shell," explains Blueno.
"Firebrand!" Mario gathers fire onto his hand and delivers a fiery punch, but Blueno zips behind him in a blink of an eye. "Wha! He disappeared!"
"Using Soru, we can move so fast that the untrained eyes can't see us moving," says Blueno. Mario quickly turns around and hurls a fireball at him, but Blueno hops into the air and remains there!
"He's flying!" says Pichu.
"Using Geppou, we can jump infinitely in midair!" explains Blueno.
Then Califa throws a kick at Mario, who quickly ducks under it. Then a wind blade shot out from her leg and flies forward at a fast speed.
"How did she do that!" gasps Pikachu.
"With Rankyaku, we can create wind blades just by kicking," she explains.
Marth is still clashing blades with Kaku, but then Kaku made a move that caught him off guard and he pierces his skin using his finger. "We don't need bullets to pierce flesh if we use Shigan."
"GA!" Marth falls back and cries in pain.
Samus is going nearer and nearer to the window. "Don't go, Samus!" cries Pikachu. But she won't listen to them, and then she jumps out the window and disappears…
"Samus! Get back here!" cry the Smashers.
"Lucci, it's about time the bomb will blow up," says Califa. "We should leave fast."
"Bomb!" gasps Meta-Knight.
"Yes, as fire is a very convenient way of erasing evidence," says Lucci. "But before we go, I would like to show you this." And then he begins to change form.
"What is happening to him!" gasps Pix.
"A Devil Fruit power!" says Punk.
"What kind of fruit?" asks Pichu.
"Just what are you, Lucci!" gasps Meta-Knight.
Lucci has transformed into a large leopard man! "Neko Neko Fruit: Model Leopard!"
Note: Neko is Japanese for cat.
"So you are a Devil Fruit user!" says CF.
Just then, they hear lots of noise coming from outside the door. "Otacon's room is there! We must protect him from the Smashers!" cry the angry people.
"Such a nuisance… Rankyaku." Lucci throws a kick at the ceiling above the door, and the ceiling collapses and blocks the doorway.
"Ah! The doorway is blocked! We will never get in!" cry the people.
"It's going to blow up soon," says Califa.
"Before that, I want to kill them all first," says Lucci. "I'll begin with Otacon."
"No!" Meta-Knight hops onto Otacon's body to protect him.
"Then you shall die along with him. In the name of justice…"
"I WON'T LET YOU!" shouts CF at the top of his voice. He jumps forward to throw a punch, but Lucci quickly turns around and swings his arm at him, hitting CF hard.
WHACK!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams CF as the powerful blow sends him flying out the window and into the distance.
"CAPTAIN FALCON!" scream the other Smashers.
"I have enough!" Marth swings his sword at Lucci to hit him.
"Tekkai!" says Lucci, and the sword does no damage to him.
"What!"
Lucci grabs Marth by the neck and hurls him out the window and into the distance also.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"MARTH!" scream the last 3 Smashers.
"Now die!" says Lucci.
But then, Punk jumps forward and slams his pincer at him, but the attack is blocked. "Our mission is to protect Otacon and get rid of anyone who tries to kill him," says Punk. "Since you are the one who wants to kill him, then I shall kill you first!"
"Get out of my business!" Lucci angrily swats Punk out of the way!
"OUCH!"
"He's so strong!" gasp Pix and Pork.
"We should go now…" says Califa. "Only 3 seconds before the explosion…"
"Fine… The explosion will kill them anyway," says Lucci. "Let's go."
TO BE CONTINUED…
The power of the CP9 is beyond human imagination. Even the Smashers are having a hard time with them. What exactly is Samus's wish? And will all these chaos be solved out in the end?
And today is my birthday! Happy birthday me!
