Chapter 17: Fierce Battle in the Sky! The Terror of Metal Gear FLY!
Samus has let Wario and Pit into the cabin through the window. "We heard everything from the others," Wario tells her.
"Please, Ms. Aran!" pleads Pit. "Come back with us! We are glad that you are doing this for our safety, but we want you to stay with us too!"
"I clearly said that I will not be returning anymore," says Samus. "I will only be a burden to you guys."
"I've never lived with you guys before, so I don't know what kind of trouble you like to cause for the others," says Wario.
"That's not what I mean…"
"But you're a good person!" says Pit. "Ms. Aran, please come back with us! Everyone misses you! Trust in us! No matter what problem you have, we can solve it for you! We are your friends!"
"I'm going to repeat this one more time," says Samus. "I'm not…" Before she can finish talking, there is a clicking sound on the door. "Oh no! Someone's coming! Hide quick!"
"Why should I?" says Wario. "Let's just beat that guy up!" But Samus quickly shoves him away and Pit pulls him behind some chairs.
The government official who met with Otacon comes in and says to Samus, "Did I hear someone in here with you?"
"Nope," says Samus.
"Well, what's the matter? Why that glum face? You're finally accepting the fact that you have no way back this time? Time to accept your fate, you criminal!" Then the official turns to leave, but then he hears a faint sound that goes 'psst'.
"Doh! I farted!" says Wario.
"Smells bad…" groans Pit, covering his nose.
"That idiot…" thought Samus.
"Did I hear something again?" asks the official. "And what's that smell? Ugh… It smells horrible… You farted, did you?"
Samus was about to shake her head, but then she knows that it would arouse suspicions of someone else in the room, so she quickly nods instead.
"You did? But wait… You look suspicious… I can read it on your face! You're hiding something there, aren't you?"

Back on the Halberd, Mario and Captain Falcon are doing extensive exercises like pushing up with one hand and lifting weights. In Mario's case, he is doing extensive jump rope. "You guys sure train hard, don't you?" asks Marth, who is sitting at the side.
"It's necessary for the upcoming battles," says CF.
"Yeah, we shouldn't always rely on da Holy Weapons," says Mario.
"Mario has a point. If we lost the weapons at some point, we must be able to get through things using our own strength."
"I understand you guys, but I'm going to train using the Holy Weapons," says Marth. "Master Hand said that putting practice into the weapons would give it more uses and you can learn more techniques. I'm going to come up with many cool ways of using it."
Then the speaker in the room bursts out loud, "Everyone! Something is spotted on the radar!"
"We caught up with the Sky Liner?" asks Marth.
"Everyone come to the front quick!"
So they all go to the front section of the Halberd. Over there, Meta-Knight explains the situation to them. "It seems like something is coming towards us in the front," he says. "It is most likely an enemy. We'll have to prepare to engage it!"
"Does this ship has cannons or laser beams?" asks Pix.
"It has cannons, but I have never given it a try, so I can't guarantee that it'll work. Furthermore, the storm out there might cause the cannons to work ineffectively too."
"Don't worry!" says Bluto. "The Flying Fox is capable of fighting even in a weather like this!" Then he climbs up a ladder and goes out on the surface of the Halberd, where the Flying Fox is latched onto. "Everyone!" he shouts to the Flying Fox. "Get ready to engage the opponent that is approaching soon!"
"YES!" reply the SF people onboard the Flying Fox.

Back onboard the Sky Liner and inside the cabin…
Wanze's noodle armor throws a long whip of noodle and tries to hit Yoshi with it. Yoshi jumps up to avoid it and runs towards Wanze and swings his tail at his suit. When hit, Yoshi's tail gets stuck in the noodles! "Oh no!"
"Sasasa! You got caught! The noodles are like nets that can catch whatever it touches!" says Wanze. Then he performs a body slam and crushes Yoshi against the floor.
SLAM!
"Yoshi…"
Wanze gets back up and laughs. "Sasasa! I told you my Ramen Kenpo is undefeatable!"
Yoshi slowly gets back up and says, "There is no way I'm going to lose to a food waster like you!"
"Thousand Noodle Whip!" Wanze begins flailing around the long noodle arms and hits the floor rapidly, and beating on top of Yoshi too.
"OW! OW! OW!"
"Sasasa! You're done for this time!" He stops flailing the arms and sees an egg in place of Yoshi. "Huh?"
"Egg Roll!" The egg rolls forward and jump up and hits Wanze in the face, making him step backwards.
"Ow! You dare hit me in the face! My face is the most precious part of my body! I took a lot of plastic surgeries to make myself look like this"!
The egg drops onto the floor and Yoshi pops out from it. "Then that's one ugly face you got!"
"How dare you call it ugly? I'm angry now! Double Noodle Spank!" Wanze swings both the arms at Yoshi, but the dinosaur jumps up into the air and towards Wanze, and then kicks him rapidly in the face using Flutter Kick. "SAAAAAAAA!"
Yoshi drops back onto the floor and says, "If I cannot hit your body, then I'll hit your head instead!"
"Pig Bone Slap!" Wanze throws a quick punch using the noodle arms and hits Yoshi and pushes him into the wall.
"YA!"
"Soul Noodle Press!" Wanze jumps up and body slams Yoshi hard.
SLAM!
"YOSHI!"
"Sasasa! That's what you get for underestimating me!" laughs Wanze. "Ramen Gyoza Set! Clapping!" The noodle arms extend forward in a wavy formation. Yoshi jumps up and aims for his head, but Wanze shoots out noodles from his nose and knocks him onto the floor. "Sasasa! There is no way you can defeat me! I have no weakness!"
Yoshi gets up and looks around the kitchen, and he sees noodles lying in mess everywhere, and then his eyes flare up and glares at Wanze, and roars out in a loud, monstrous voice, "YOU HAVE WASTED FOOD! YOU SHALL DIE!"
"Sasasa! So scary!" says Wanze sarcastically. "Mask Spank!" The noodles spread out in a fan-like formation and head for Yoshi.
Yoshi opens his mouth wide and catches the noodles in his mouth and bites them off, and swallows them! "Yum! But could've used some sauce."
"Sasa! You ate the noodles!" gasps Wanze."

On the deck of the Sky Liner…
Snake is firing his pistols at Nero, but keeps on missing.
"Kamie!" Nero steps aside and dodges the bullet, despite the fact Snake is shooting rapidly.
"Ugh! How come none of them hits?" wonders Snake.
"Using Kamie, one of the Rokushiki moves," explains Nero, "I can avoid all kinds of attacks with ease. It's my turn to attack! Rankyaku!" He kicks the air and shoots out a wind blade.
Snake quickly rolls to the side to avoid it.
"Soru!" Nero zips in front of Snake and throws a punch forward, but Snake avoids it again, followed by avoiding all other punches and kicks delivered by Nero. "Rankyaku!" Nero then kicks out a wind blade that Snake barely avoided, but did get a slight cut on the face.
"Whoa! These weird attacks of yours sure are something!"
"I told you, Rokushiki users have trained their bodies to become living weapons."
"But surely it's not up to the match of real weapons!" Snake takes out a machine gun and begins shooting everywhere, but Nero avoids it by using Geppou to jump into the air.
"Ha! Missed me!" Nero then pulls out a pair of pistols. "Though I haven't master Shigan yet, I can make up for it using real guns!" He begins firing at Snake, who jumps and rolls around to avoid getting shot.
Snake then shoots back with his machine gun, but Nero uses Soru to move out in time and then uses Rankyaku again, which Snake avoids as usual.
"You're pretty good at dodging, eh?" says Nero as he hops back onto the floor. "Take this! Rankyaku Line!" He kicks out a wind blade that travels in a very straight line and also very fast. Snake hops to the side but got hit in the waist.
"Ya!"
"Now die!" Nero then fires his pistols and shoots Snake in the chest, but fortunately for Snake, he is wearing a bulletproof vest so it did not hurt him.
"This bulletproof vest saved my life!" says Snake.
"Then I'll aim for your unprotected parts!" Nero fires at his legs, but Snake quickly jumps up.
While in midair, Snake pulls out a ball and tosses it at the floor, and smoke is released from the ball.
"Wa! Smoke bomb!"
But the smoke didn't come out too much before it disappeared. "The rain and wind made it disappear faster than expected…" mumbles Snake.
"Haha! There is nothing you can do in a storm like this!" laughs Nero. "However, it makes no difference to me. Hahahaha!" And while he is laughing arrogantly, Snake punches him in the face.
POW!
"YEOW!"
"That's what you get for not concentrating on your enemy!"
"Oh yeah? Tekkai!"
Snake throws another punch into Nero's stomach and hurts him badly.
"YEOW! Damn it! I forgot I haven't mastered Tekkai yet! In fact, I only know 4 of the Rokushiki moves!"
"Looks like you're not as strong as I thought you are after all," says Snake. "I wouldn't be surprised if you're the weakest out of those other 4."
"That doesn't mean you can beat me! Prepare to die!" Nero charges forward and they both begin trading punches and kicks with other as the storm rages on.

Back on the Halberd…
"I see it!" says Bluto, looking into the binoculars. "The enemy is approaching!"
"Prepare to attack!" commands Meta-Knight.
"It's… it's… Metal Gear FLY!"
The Stray Fox people are shocked to hear this. "What's that?" asks Pikachu.
"It's a powerful flying tank that is the master of dogfights!" explains Bluto. "Now that they unleashed that kind of monster against us, we have no more hopes left! But don't worry, for the sake of boss, we will destroy it. Fire at once, everyone!"
"YES!" say the SF people, and they begin firing the Flying Fox's cannon at the enemy that is approaching. Popeye and Cid are also helping by firing bazookas.
The Metal Gear FLY approaches from afar and begins firing missiles and beams at sight. The attacks hit the sides of the Halberd and rock it violently.
"Ah! We're gonna get destroyed at this rate!" cries Bluto.
"MOOOOOOOO!" moos Pork (he's in his cow form for being on the rainy deck).
"What is a cow doing here?"
"Then I'll cut it in half!" says Meta-Knight. He steps onto the deck and flies towards Metal Gear Fly. When near enough, he swings his sword at the giant mech, but his attack bounces off. "Agh! It's not working! Even I can't cut it in half!"
"At this rate, it is going to crash into us!" says Bluto. "We must do something!" The Flying Fox continues to shoot the Metal Gear FLY, but none of their attacks are stopping it from approaching.
"We're done for this time!" everyone cries.
Marth and Captain Falcon step out onto the deck and head for the front part. "We'll handle everything," says CF.
"What?" asks Bluto curiously.
"Cluck?" clucks Pix (he's in his chicken form for being on the rainy deck).
Marth turns to CF and says, "You don't use your Holy Weapon?"
"It's not necessary for a small fry like this," replies CF.
"Well, whatever, but I'm using it." Marth holds up the giant sword Durandal and says, "Level up!" And the giant sword shrinks into the size of a sleek, normal-sized sword. He also takes out his usual sword and then holds both swords up in air in a cross formation. "Dragon…"
CF then begins punching against the air furiously. "Falcon…"
"What are you guys going?" asks Meta-Knight.
"I don't know," says Pikachu. "But they're gonna do something cool!"
The Metal Gear FLY flies closer and closer and fires a lot of projectiles at them. "Faster! It's gonna destroy us and crash us down!" cries Cid. "We must destroy the enemy!"
The giant mech comes even closer than before, and everything seems to end right here when…
"GATE!" Marth brings down both his swords and performs a powerful slash.
"DOUBLE PUNCH!" CF throws both his fists forward and releases a powerful burst of flame.
Both the attacks hit the head of Metal Gear Fly and the entire mech instantly tears in half and explodes into pieces!
KAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Everyone is totally freaked out at the majestic attack they saw. "WOW!"
"We did it!" exclaims CF, raising his arms in triumph.
"That was easy," says Marth, sheathing his sword back.
"Did… you see… that…?" says Bluto. "It only took one attack from the two of them to destroy Metal Gear FLY!"
"They are very strong!" exclaims Popeye.
"Amazing… Their powers are to this extent…?" says Meta-Knight.
"Moo!" moos Pork.
"Cluck!" clucks Pix.
"Pika! Even I was surprised!" says Pikachu.
"They get stronger every time…" says Punk, who is wearing a raincoat so he doesn't get wet in the rain.
"All right! Now that the enemy is cleared, let's continue heading forward and rescue our friend!" says CF.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Nothing to say here, but have fun reviewing!
