Chapter 23: Fight to Rescue Samus! Mario vs. Blueno!
Inside the courthouse…
"That's impossible!" gasps the middle head of Baskerville. "Metal Gear REX shouldn't be able to lose that easily!"
"But it's true, Judge Baskerville!" says the soldier. "They found out its weak spot and destroyed it with ease!"
"Those villains are pressing too hard against us!" says the left head.
"So I said it's better off that we forgive them!" says the right head.
"They are going too far!" shouts the middle head. "Have you or have you not unleashed the execution jurors yet?"
"We did, judge," says the soldier. "But are you sure it's safe? They may wreck up the whole place!"
"Silence! This is order! Release all of the execution jurors at once!"
"Yes sir!"

On the rooftop of the courthouse, Blueno is standing in front of Mario again. "You sure pull off quite a few surprises," says Blueno.
"All da better to defeat-a you," says Mario. "Let's do eet again!"
"If you say so. Geppou!" Blueno jumps into the air and jumps back and forth around there. "Shigan!" Then he drops down towards Mario very fast to tries to stab him with his finger. Mario hopped back just in time to avoid getting hit.
The moment Blueno landed, he kicks the air twice to perform Rankyaku. Mario jumps up to avoid the first one, and then quickly lands and ducks to avoid the second one. After avoiding the second one, Blueno rushes towards him and throws a Shigan forward, which Mario barely avoided by rolling to the side. Blueno then sweeps the floor with kick that created a Rankyaku that travels along the floor, and Mario quickly jumps up in time to avoid it also.
While Mario is still in midair, he throws several fireballs at Blueno, but Blueno ran off before it hits. Blueno appears behind Mario and jumps up to his level. Mario quickly spins around and punches him, but Blueno caught the punch and hurls Mario onto the floor.
BANG
"Mamamia…"
Blueno drops towards Mario and uses Shigan again, but Mario once again avoids it by quickly rolling aside. Mario then gets up and jumps at Blueno to hit him with a flying kick. Blueno quickly blocks the kick using his foot and kicks Mario away himself, and Mario goes crashing into a wall.
"Rankyaku!" Blueno kicks out several wind blades at Mario. Mario got up just in time and jumps up and down to avoid them, but he still got cut a few times in the legs and around the body.
"Ow! Eet's hard-a to keep-a up with his attacks!" thought Mario.
After the barrage of wind blades are over, Mario runs towards Blueno while shooting out fireballs. Blueno avoids them by quickly running off using Soru. Mario immediately turns around and throws a punch forward, but is surprised that Blueno isn't there!"
"You think I would fall for the same thing again?" asks Blueno, who is in the air. "Tekkai Smash!" He hardens his body and drops down towards Mario. Mario got out of the way and when Blueno hits the floor, it left behind a large crack.
"Mamamia! Such-a strength he has!"
"Tekkai Wheel!" Blueno hardens his body again and performs a cartwheel and goes after Mario.
"Mamamia!" Mario quickly runs away from him, and Blueno constantly chases him while performing the cartwheel. And as Blueno rolls, he left behind several cracks on the floor to show how fatal it is to get hit by this move.
Mario keeps running until he comes to a dead end on the end of the rooftop. "Uh oh…" Right when Blueno is about to hit him, Mario quickly jumps over him. "Miss me!"
Then a door opens under Blueno and he falls down into it.
"Uh? What-a wuz that-a?"
"Trapdoor…" says a voice from nowhere.
"Uh? Where is he?" Mario looks around to find Blueno, but suddenly, two small holes appear under Mario's feet and he falls in and his feet get stuck there! "Mamamia! I'm stuck-a!"
The floor in front of Mario opens and Blueno pops out.
"How did you do that-a?"
"This is the power of my Doa Doa Fruit," explains Blueno. "I can turn whatever I touch into doors. Including this." Then he slaps Mairo across the face.
SLAP!
"Ow!" Then Mario's face gets detached from his head! "Mamamia! Why am I seeing things so strangely?"
"Revolving door."
The detached face of Mario's begins spinning around in place really fast, to the point where it's actually comical! "MAMAMIA! EET'S SPINNING! I CAN'T SEE WELL! WHERE'S LEFT-A? WHERE'S RIGHT-A! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"Here! Rankyaku!" Blueno kicks a wind blade at Mario and it even destroys the wall behind Mario.
CRASH!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Back in the square, Marth and Captain Falcon saw an explosion on the roof of the courthouse. "Hey, I think I saw that guy with bullhorn hairdo up there," says CF.
"And I heard Mario shouting too!" adds Pichu.
"He must be fighting up there with that CP9 guy now," says Marth. "Let's go and help him fast. The courthouse is just ahead."
The Stray Fox people are crying over the destruction of their Flying Fox. "Those devils!" cries Bluto. "They will pay for wrecking our beloved airship! We worked so hard with boss to build this thing!"
"There's no time for crying over spilt milk!" Wario tells them. "What's more important? This thing or your boss? He's waiting for you guys to rescue him!"
"Right! Our boss is more important! C'mon! Let's go and rescue him! To the courthouse!"
But several soldiers charge at them from the front. "Get them!" shout the soldiers. "Do not let them go any further!"
"Looks like trouble…" says Pikachu.
"This is annoying…" says CF. He runs at the crowd of soldiers who is charging at them. "OUT OF THE WAY!" He throws a strong punch forward and sent a good amount of soldiers flying.
A large soldier swings an axe at him, but CF ducks under it and then uppercuts the soldier in the chin. Another appears behind him and brings down an axe on top of him, but CF manages to grab the blade by clasping his hands and pulls the axe off the soldier's hand, and then punches him out cold.
"He's taking all the fun!" cries Wario. "I'm gonna beat up more people than him!"
"Um… everyone…? Soldiers are supposed to be keeping people safe, right? But are we doing the right thing on hurting them even though we're here to rescue Ms. Aran and Mr. Snake?"
"Logically, soldiers are good people," Marth tells him. "You can say that we are the bad guys here."
"But I don't want to be a bad person!"
"Do you want to rescue Samus?"
"I want to rescue her, but…"
"These soldiers, you can say, are corrupted. Their leader wants to use a dangerous weapon that can bring harm to the world, so we must stop them."
"I see… Sacrifices must be made in order to stop greater evil from happening…"
"Well, then let's fight together!" Marth pulls out his sword and charges forward, slashing down any soldiers who get in his way.
"Behold the great Wario! CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!" He runs forward while screaming at the top of his voice. A soldier swings a sword at him, but Wario quickly hits him in the hand before the blade hits, and then grabs the soldier by the head and swings him around like a bludgeon to hit other people.
"Pika!" Pikachu shoots out several bolts of electricity and shocks the soldiers, and Pichu attacks by bashing down people with his head. Yoshi encases himself in an egg and rolls forward, bowling down the soldiers in front of him. Pit splits his bow in half and forms them into knives, and begins fighting the soldiers. Of course, the Stray Fox people and the Space Pirates are fighting against the soldiers too.
Then a couple of armored tanks approach and begin bombarding them with explosives. "Watch out! Tanks!" shouts Bluto.
A cannon shell from the tank flies towards Yoshi, but he opens his mouth and catches the shell in his mouth! Yoshi then lays out a black egg and hurls it at the tank, and the egg explodes, taking out everything in its blast radius.
KABOOOOOOM!
"Wow! That dinosaur sure got cool tricks up his sleeves!" exclaims a SF guy.
Wario runs at one of the tank and grabs it, and using all his strength, he lifts the tank into the air. "HAAAAAAAAARK!"
"YAAAAAAAAA! HE LIFTED UP THE TANK!" exclaims everyone.
"HIIIIYAAAA!" Wario hurls the tank at a shocked group of soldiers and crush them all flat, and the tank explodes too.
Another tank fires its cannon at CF, but CF jumps into the sky and Falcon Kicks the tank from the top, smashing it into pieces.
BANG!
"Okay! Everything's clear!" says CF. "The courthouse is just over there! Let's go fast!" And everyone runs to the courthouse.
"Wow! That door sure is big!" exclaims Pichu.
Suddenly, a large iron ball comes flying towards them from behind, but Pork quickly gets in front of it and stops it. "Phew… That was close," says Pork.
"He blocked the iron ball for us!" says a SF guy. "But who could have possibly threw an iron ball this big?"
"Hey! Someone's running into the alleyway there!" says Pix.
"I'll go after him!" says Wario, and he runs into the alleyway too.
"We don't have time to care about those!" CF tells him.
CRASH! BANG!
And then a really big guy comes flying out from the alleyway and passes out on the ground. Wario steps out from the alleyway while dusting his hands, and says, "I'm just checking up on who might be doing this. You'll never know: They might come back again."
The SF guys gather around the large guy who is beaten up on the ground. That guy wears a metal mask around his face, has large shoulder pads, there are spiked belts wrapped around his body, and he wears a pant that is covered in spikes. "What kind of a person is this!" they gasp.
"Must be a special force like the Gekko Squad and Metal Gear REX!"
"Whatever he is, he sure has such a strength to hurl around that giant chain & ball weapon!"
Then several more soldiers come running towards them from behind. "We have them cornered!" shout the soldiers. "There is no way they can get through that giant stone door of the courthouse!"
"Now that they said it…" says Bluto. "How do we enter the courthouse?" He turns to the courthouse door and is shocked to see that Marth has already cut a large and neat hole on the stone door!
"Are you guys coming in or not?" asks Marth.
"Whoa! He cut through the giant stone door in less than a second!"
"Okay, now we must split apart and go for each of the towers on the sides of the courthouse!" says Punk. "We must activate the switch there and lower the drawbridge so we can enter the Judicial Tower! I will go with some of the Stray Fox people to the left tower, Pix will go with some to the right tower, and Pork and the remaining ones will stay here and guard the door to make sure nobody comes in! And you Smashers go to the roof and help your friend there!"
"YES!" shouts everyone, and each goes off to do his assigned job.
-
Inside the Judiciary Tower, Spandam is sitting in his office while patting his pet elephant Funkfreed. "Haha! What a good day today is!" he says to himself while holding up a small remote control with a single button on it. "I have such a high authority in the government that I am even granted the usage of the Annihilation Call! With just a single press on this button…"
"CHIEF!" shouts a soldier who just burst into the room.
"Whoa! You frightened me! You nearly made me press the Annihilation Call button too! You'll be responsible for everything if I did press it!"
"Sorry, chief… But I'm here to contact you about the damage report!"
"Why don't you just contact through the phone?" asks Spandam, and he looks at the phone. "Uh? The phone's not placed properly! No wonder I'm not receiving any calls! Who did it anyway?"
-
Samus and Snake are both in jail, and then Spandam comes in with the phone on his hand. "Haha! You guys are totally hopeless now!" says Spandam. "You know that your friends are trying their worst to rescue you guys, right? Let us listen and hear how bad they're doing! After all, they only have beaten up 5 of our men! How worse can they get?" Spandam sets the phone so that the voice coming out is broadcasted out loud.
"Chief? Finally!" says the soldier on the other side of the phone. "We tried many times but it won't connect! It's about the damage report!"
"I know that! Tell me, did you accidentally kill them all?" asks Spandam.
"No chief! It's so terrible! You won't believe it! We lost more than 2000 men and several armored tanks! The Gekko Squad has been eliminated! Even our ultimate weapon Metal Gear REX has been destroyed too! What's worse is that they're now at the courthouse!"
Spandam listens silently but with a wide, open mouth. Then he quickly runs to the nearest window and sees the roof of the courthouse, and he can see Blueno standing there. "What's Blueno there?" he wonders.
"This is perhaps the worst case scenario to ever have happen in all of Alias Lobby's history!" says the soldier.
Spandam begins to tremble violently and sweats nervously while you can hear Snake laughing in the background. "What… what… WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING!" shouts Spandam at the top of his voice.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Mario fans: Do not worry. He is far from defeated, and plus, the battle isn't even over yet. You know how I hate it when in a battle, the enemy prevails and escapes, so you can easily expect Blueno's fate in this battle.
