To make up for the lack of action in the previous chapter, I will try to make this one as good as possible. Still, the best ones are still yet to come.

Chapter 20: Battle on the Judiciary Island! Smashers vs. the Government!


In the court house on the far end of the first island…

"Judge Baskerville!" reports a soldier. "Enemies have invaded into the main square!"

A tall 3-headed man steps forward. The left head is wearing a medieval knight helmet, the middle head has a white moustache, and the right head has scruffy hair and a large chin. "Wicked people have invaded?" says the left head. "They are guilty!"

"Let's just proclaim them as innocent, okay?" says the right head.

The middle head thought for a while, and then shouts out loud, "THEY MUST BE EXECUTED!"

The two heads on the side then headbutt him. "What's with the rush!"

"Judge Baskerville… What are you orders?"

"Captain T-Bone is there to defend the gate, right?" asks the middle head. "He does his job well, but it is best that we send reinforcements! Send out the Gekko Squad at once!"

"Yes sir!"

-

At the entrance of the square…

"You foul villains have invaded into the center of all justice!" T-Bone says to the Smashers and everyone else with them. "I will put a stop to you villains here and protect everyone, even if it means destroying my body!"

"It's the machine-cutter T-Bone!" gasps Bluto.

"Machine-cutter?" asks Pikachu.

"Yeah! He is known for being able to cut down machines of large sizes and within only a few seconds! He will be one tough opponent!"

Meta-Knight jumps down from the Flying Fox and steps in front of T-Bone. "I will handle him myself," he says.

"Are you not the lead engineer of Otaku Weapon Center?" asks T-Bone. "How dare you join the dark side and fight alongside evil?"

"Whether we're doing evil or not, we're just avenging for someone."

"You wicked demon! Begone!" T-Bone pulls out his sword and charges forward, and so does Meta-Knight.

They both clash swords with each other and begin pushing back and forth using their strength. Then they hop back to their starting positions and dash at each other again, this time clashing swords at furious speed.

"Whoa! That engineer from Otaku Weapon Center sure is good!" says a Stray Fox guy.

T-Bone swings his sword at Meta-Knight, who jumps over the slash, and he ends up hitting a building instead, and the entire building splits in half! "Oh no! I have destroyed the house of a innocent!" gasps T-Bone. "What have I done!"

"No time to worry about others!" says Meta-Knight as he swings his sword at him. T-Bone quickly turns around and blocks the attack.

"I will not allow you foul villains to do whatever you want! I will protect everyone in this world from harm and danger!" says T-Bone.

"I understand that you care for the world and your job," says Meta-Knight, and then he hops back several steps.

"I must protect the innocent no matter what! I do not want to see people suffer! You wicked people must die!" T-Bone swings his sword against the air really hard and shoots out a large beam in the shape of a bird. "Big Bird Bone!"

Meta-Knight flies forward very fast and avoids the laser beam, and he charges at T-Bone and slashes him very hard. "Demon Wing Strike!"

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams T-Bone as his armor is slashed to pieces and he collapse onto the floor.

"OH NO! THEY DEFEATED CAPTAIN T-BONE!" gasp the soldiers.

"YEAH!" exclaim the good guys.

Meta-Knight looks at the fallen T-Bone and says, "We have a much more important job here, so we cannot stop. I hope you understand us." He turns to join the others when suddenly he is hit by an explosion in the back. "YA!"

"What was that?" asks a SF guy.

"It's the Gekko Squad!" says a soldier. Before them, stood several two-legged machines with several mounted guns on the body.

"What are those?" asks Pichu.

"Whatever they are, they are just getting into our way!" says CF. "We better beat them up and clear the way!"

"Right," says Marth, unsheathing his sword. "I can't wait to get this done."

"All right!" says Wario, pounding his fists.

The 3 Smashers run forward and begin fighting the bipedal machines. CF throws a powerful punch at a Gekko and sends it flying backwards, crashing down its other companions.

Marth jumps in between a group of Gekko, and swings his sword in a circular formation and knocks them all way. Another Gekko runs in front of him to give him a kick, but Marth slashes off its leg and then proceeds to cut the entire thing into pieces.

Wario shoulder bashes a Gekko hard and sends it flying. Another one pounces forward to attack him, but Wario grabs it by the leg before it hits and swings it around to whack away the others, and then hurls it into a large group and it created an explosion that blasted them away.

"Wow! They sure are strong!" says a SF guy. "They were terrifying enemies to begin with, but once they're on our side, they sure can be helpful!"

A large group of Gekko jumps down from the sky and land on top of CF, but they are all sent flying when he performs an uppercut. "Out of my way!" shouts CF.

"Incredible! They are beating up the Gekko Squad so easily!" cry the soldiers. "We need more reinforcements!"

It is at this moment the Flying Fox begins walking into the square. "Smashers! Get on board!" shouts Bluto. "Things won't get anywhere if we just remain here and fight! We must move forward!"

"Okay!" says CF, and he hops onto the top of the walking airship along with the other 2 who were fighting alongside him.

"Don't let them get away with this!" says a soldier. A couple of other Gekko jump on top of the airship to attack them, but both Popeye and Cid punch them away.

"Argh! This is endless!" says Meta-Knight, and then jumps down the airship along with his two partners.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Marth asks him.

"We'll stop them while you guys go on," says Meta-Knight. "After seeing all that you have done, I believe that you guys are the only people capable of taking on the CP9. And if you met them, give this word to them… You fired."

"Them? Okay."

"One last thing! At the end of this island is the courthouse, and it has a drawbridge that will connect to the Judicial Tower. There are towers on both sides of the courthouse, and the switches to the drawbridge are in both towers."

"So we have to activate the switches in those towers in order to access the Judicial Tower?" asks Punk. "Got it!"

Then the Flying Fox and everyone else walk deeper into the square while Meta-Knight, Popeye, and Cid stay behind to fight off the others. "Bring it on!" says Meta-Knight.

"Get them! There's only 3 of them!" shout the soldiers.

Cid hits the floor hard with a hammer, creating a large shockwave that knocked everyone onto their feet, and then he hammers them into flat pieces one by one. "Mole Whack!" Another group of soldier tries to take him by surprise, but he swings his hammer at them in time to send them flying.

Popeye takes out a can of spinach and squeezes out the content into his mouth, then the theme whenever he ate spinach plays, and he becomes more powerful after that. "Behold the power of spinach!" he shouts, and then he delivers several super powerful punches at the soldiers and Gekko and knocks them all down.

Meta-Knight charges forward while spinning like a cyclone and dashes through a large group of soldiers and Gekko. Then he flies up and swings his sword downwards several times, shooting out several energy shots that destroyed the opponents.

-

As the Flying Fox rampages through the streets of Alias Square, several soldiers try to bombard them from all over the place. "Argh! These guys are so annoying!" says Wario. He picks up a piece of metal on the floor and hurls it at some soldiers who are shooting them from a building.

"We'll show them whose boss!" says Bluto. The sides of the FF open to reveal several cannons, and the cannons shoot down the soldiers around them.

"This monstrosity is too powerful!" cry the soldiers. "Contact the boss at once! We must let him know about this!"

"Thunderbolt!" shouts Pikachu as he jumps into the air and fires off electricity everywhere.

BZAAAAAAAAAAAP!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Yeah! I got them!" Pikachu says happily, but then he is shocked to see that his own mates are zapped also! "Oops…"

"Watch where you zapping next time!" Yoshi shouts at him.

"Sorry…"

"You should try something like this instead," says Pichu. He runs to the side of the airship and begins charging up, and he shoots out a large electric ball. "Zap Cannon!" The electric ball hits the ground and explodes, blasting away several soldiers and also knocking down a building. "See? You don't hit your own people this way." But a brick from the building falls down and hits him on the head. "Ow!"

A soldier crawls onto the airship and pulls out a gun, but Yoshi quickly grabs the gun with his tongue and swallows it, lays out an egg, and knocks out the soldier using it.

Another soldier crawls on top, but Wario punches him and sends him crashing through a building wall. "No stowaways allowed!" says Wario.

One of the FF's front leg steps onto the ground and triggers an explosion that rocked the entire airship, and Mario, who is standing on the edge, falls to the ground because of the shaking. "Ah! Someone set a landmine!" cries Bluto.

"Those bastards!" says CF.

"Mamamia… That-a hurts," says Mario, getting back up. He took a step forward, and then the bottom of his shoe flashes. "Oh no! I think-a I stepped on a mine!"

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

And Mario is sent flying through the air from the mine explosion. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIOOOOOOOOOOOO!" scream the Smashers.

"We got one!" says a soldier.

"Damn those government dogs!" says a SF guy.

CF looks into the distance and sees Mario falling back down. "I think he'll be fine. He still dropped back down into the square."

"But he must be hurt!" says Pit.

"I hope he is," says Wario.

"Nah, Mario can't get into trouble," says CF. "I know he's someone who can handle things by himself. Let's just focus on ourselves first."

-

Mario has landed somewhere within the square. "Mamamia… What a ride…"

"Ha! You're surrounded!" says a soldier. Mario looks around and sees that he is totally surrounded by ton of soldiers! "Give up now, we have 1000 people here! There's nothing you can do in a situation like this!"

"Oh yeah?" says Mario, cracking his knuckles. "But-a I don't-a feel like giving up yet-a."

-

Back in the courthouse…

"You mean T-Bone is defeated and they manage to fight through the Gekko Squad?" asks the middle head of Baskerville.

"Yes, Judge Baskerville!" says the soldier. "And they are advancing towards the courthouse! At this rate, they'll…"

"In that case, deploy Metal Gear REX at once!"

"That thing! But it's too dangerous! The whole place can be destroyed!"

"This is order! Do they not have a large walking mech with them? We will fight them eye for an eye! Deploy the Metal Gear REX when it's ready!"

"Um… Yes sir!"

-

Meanwhile, Mario is handling things himself rather smoothly. He jumps into the air and lands on top of the soldiers' head and bounces across a large amount of people. "That guy sure can jump!" say the soldiers.

Mario lands onto clear ground and pulls out his Fire Rod, and he swings it behind him and whacks away all the soldiers.

WHACK!

Then he quickly runs forward with the other soldiers coming after him. "Don't let him get away! There's only one person!" shout the soldiers.

Mario keeps on running, and then he jumps towards a building wall and kicks off the wall and into the air above the soldiers. From there, he shoots out multiple fireballs downwards and burns some of the soldiers. "Ah! He's shooting fire! Watch out!" cries a soldier, who later got burned himself. "HOOOOOOOT!"

Mario flies into a building through the window, only to find more soldiers inside. "We got you now!" say the soldiers.

"Mamamia… They sure come in big-a numbers," says Mario. Mario runs forward and jumps over the large group of soldiers while shooting down fireballs. He lands on the other side of the crowd and runs up a wooden stair before him.

"Don't let him get away!" And the soldiers run up after him. Seeing that the stair is made of wood, Mario places his palm on top of the stair and burns it with fire, and the stair burns and tumbles down, carrying along the soldiers who are climbing up it. "YAAAAAAAA!"

Mario then looks at both the hallways around him and sees more soldiers coming. "Mamamia… When will they ever end?" He jumps up towards the ceiling and uppercuts it hard. "Super Jump Punch!" And he breaks through the ceiling and appears on top of the roof.

"He's on the roof! After him quick!" shout the soldiers.

Mario makes a running start and hops all the way to another building, and then continues hopping from building to building.

"He sure can jump!" says a soldier.

"He's on his way to the courthouse! Get him fast!"

Mario sees that the courthouse is not too far from where he is. "I'll just-a make it to da roof of that-a house." Then several soldiers appear on the building he is standing on.

"Halt! Don't jump around anymore!" shout the soldiers.

Mario just shrugs and then jumps into the air whilst spinning like a tornado, and then he drops back down and stomps the roof really hard. "Tornado Crush!" The impact is so strong that the entire roof cracks apart and shatters, and all the soldiers fall back to the lower floor. Mario quickly jumps to another building and runs off again.

He lands onto another building, and looks down to see several soldiers trying to climb up the wall. "He's up there!" they shout. "Get him."

"Theez eez too much…" Mario takes out his Fire Rod and begins jabbing it downwards very fast and the tip of the rod extends forward to hit the crowd down there.

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HE'S TOO STRONG!"

-

The others can see the destruction going on in the distance, and also a small figure jumping around. "That's gotta be Mario," says Marth.

"Seems like he's handling everything himself pretty nicely," says CF.

"Tsk! He's always getting better than me in everything!" says Wario. "But this time I got something cool that will surely surpass him." He takes out a garlic and says, "This garlic contains a great power…"

BOOOOOOOOM!

"Ahhh! We're being shot by powerful cannons!" cries Bluto.

The rocking from the explosion made Wario drop the garlic, and he desperately tries to pick it up. "Yah! This thing is my winning ace! It mustn't get lost!"

The soldiers are coming after them using armored tanks. "Fire! We must destroy that giant machine of theirs!" shout the soldiers.

"Out of our way!" shouts CF as he jumps down in front of the Flying Fox. He runs at one of the tank and delivers a powerful upward kick that sent the tank flying into the air!

"WHOA! WHAT A KICK HE HAS!" exclaim the Stray Fox guys. The tank falls back down on top of another tank and they both explode together.

"If anything gets in our way," says CF, "we will destroy it!"

-

Spandam is in his office and he receives a phone call. "Hello?"

"Chief Spandam! We are being invaded by intruders!" says the soldier on the phone.

"What? Who are they?"

"If the reports are correct, then they are the Smashers!"

"Really? How's everything over there?"

"It's terrible! We lost 400 men!"

"400 men! You gotta be kidding me! Are you sure you got the right amount?"

"No wait… Correction! We actually lost 5…" But before the soldier can tell Spandam that they actually lost 500 soldiers, a soldier falls down from the sky and lands on top of him, and knocks him out.

"5? How could you have mistaken 5 people for 400 people? Our men aren't that weak!" says Spandam, and he ends the call. "Looks like the Smashers are doing nothing but avoiding fights."

"But still, they sure have the guts to invade this kind of place," says Jabura.

Then a government official comes into the room and reports, "Lucci and the CP9 have returned!"

"Good! Show them in!" says Spandam.


TO BE CONTINUED…

So how's this chapter? I hope it's better than the previous one. Baskerville is yet again another character from One Piece. The Gekko are from Metal Gear Solid 4.

Coming up next chapter: Reunion of the CP9! Samus is Betrayed!
