Chapter 25: Smashers Gather Together! We Will Rescue Our Friend No Matter What!
"SAMUS! WE'RE HERE TO RESCUE YOU!" yells Captain Falcon at the top of his voice.
"ANSWER US!" yells Mario too.
-
Spandam quickly runs to the window and looks outside, "Isn't Blueno over there? What on earth is he doing? Let me see… So they are the Smashers! Wait a minute, that's… IMPOSSIBLE! BLUENO IS BEATEN BY THEM! He's a Rokushiki and a Devil Fruit user, so he couldn't possibly lose to any of them!"
"SOMEBODY COME OUT AND CONFRONT ME!" shouts CF. "ANYONE RESPOND TO US!"
"Darn it! Quick! Get the rest of the CP9 members here! I give them the privilege to kill them all! We must get Samus and John Doe out of here fast!"
-
"Samus… Just give it in already…" Snake says to her. "They have come all the way here, and you do not want them to waste their efforts, right?" Samus just kept silent. "That moron broke your promise, so you don't have any more reason to do as you wish." Samus still kept silent. "Looks like I'll have to force you to come along then."
Spandam runs into the room and says, "Get the prisoners ready at once!"
"Chief! Snake's stomach is expanding!" cry the soldiers. Indeed, Snake's body is growing bigger and bigger. To be precise, it's his vest that is expanding like a balloon.
"WHAT THE! IS AN ALIEN GOING TO BURST OUT OF HIS STOMACH!" screams Spandam.
Snake turns to Spandam and says, "Hey jerk, I can see that my life is coming to an end soon, but I prefer that I blow up myself instead. In a short while, I am going to self-destruct, and the explosion will be a 3-kilometer radius. I am thinking that I should at least take you guys along with me."
"No! Don't! Don't drag me into this! I don't wanna die!"
"Too late! You can't stop me! 3!"
"NOOOOOOOO! HELP ME! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Spandam and the soldiers run for their lives out of the room.
"2!"
And they run down the stairs in such a hurry that they tumble down it instead.
KABONKA KABONK!
"1!" Then Snake quickly uses his legs to wrap around Samus. "Okay, let's get ready to take off! Coup de Balloon!" Then lots of air shoot out from the vest and Snake starts bouncing and flying around the room like mad, carrying Samus on his legs. The air released from the vest is so strong that it sent the furnitures in the room flying around too.
Finally, they both crash through the wall and go flying out the window, but crash into a steel fence that is around the balcony, and it was when the vest's air ran out also.
"Phew! Good thing there's a fence here," says Snake. "Otherwise we would've fallen off into the sea below! If only I have enough air, then I can get the both of us to the other side too. Now Samus, respond to them!"
CF and Mario see Samus on the balcony, and CF shouts out, "Samus! You're there!"
"You're all right-a too!" says Mario.
"Hold on! We'll go over and rescue you shortly!"
Some soldiers appear and go after Snake and Samus. "There they are! How dare he trick us that he is exploding!" say the soldiers. "Get them!"
"Move it, small fries!" says Snake. He opens his vest to reveal guns on the underside, and shoots down the soldiers. "Weapon Vest!"
Meanwhile, Samus grits her teeth and fumes angrily, and she yells out at the top of her voice, "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD! I DO NOT WANT TO BE RESCUED!"
"Huh?" reply CF and Mario.
"I JUST WANT TO DIE! SO LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Snake turns to her and says, "Hey! What's wrong with you! Is that how you respond to someone who risked their lives to rescue you?"
"I never asked for their help! They're wasting their time!"
"Look! They have come this far and…" Before Snake can finish talking, Kaku comes over and kicks him away. "YEOW!"
"Move it!" says Kaku rudely.
"What's wrong, Kaku?" asks Jabura. "You're taking out your anger on someone because you ate a weird fruit?"
"Shut up! Besides, I like the power that I got!"
Then all the CP9 members appear on the balcony and stand before CF and Mario, who are on the other side at the rooftop of the courthouse.
"So our opponents are just those two?" asks Califa.
"Yoyoi! They have come this far to get here! That's something worth praising!" says Kumadori.
"Never thought Blueno would've lose!" says Jabura.
"Looks like being a bartender sapped away his strength," says Lucci.
"Still, how could he had lost so easily?" asks Kaku.
"Chapapa! He lost!" laughs Fukuro.
-
Meanwhile, in the side towers, Punk and Pix are having problems. The large execution jurors are causing them quite a problem.
"Guilty!" they say.
"These guys are tough!" says Punk. He charges forward to attack, but the juror swings his iron ball at Punk and hits him back. "AUGH!"
On the other side, the same problem is occurring.
"Guilty!" The juror rolls his iron ball down the stairs, bowling down the people who are climbing up.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"Dang! We were so close to the top!" says Pix.
-
At the doorway of the courthouse…
A juror throws his iron ball at Pork and knocks him out.
"OW!"
"Oh no! He took an iron ball to his face!" cry the Stray Fox people.
"Haha! You're done for, villains!" laugh the soldiers. "Give up already!"
Suddenly, someone attacks the soldiers from behind and knocks them all out. "YAAAAAA!"
"Sorry, we're late!" says Meta-Knight, who was the attacker, along with Popeye and Cid.
"You're here, Otaku engineers!" exclaim the SF people.
"Popeye and Cid, you guys go to the towers and assist the ones in there!" says Meta-Knight. "I will help guard the doorway!"
"Yes sir!" they all say.
-
Back on top of the roof…
"So you say you want to die?" asks CF.
"Yes! And here!" replies Samus.
Spandam comes over to listen to their conversation. "Did you guys hear that?" he says. "She's rejecting their help! I have never seen such a funny thing! Let's see how they handle this!"
"Can't we just go over and kill them both and end this right away?" asks Jabura.
"Be patient! I want to see how things end up!"
"Okay, Samus, if you really want to die," says CF, "I wouldn't mind that! But there is only one thing I ask of you. And that is… Die when you are with us!"
Samus is a bit surprised to hear this.
"Falcon has a point-a!" says Mario. "What's da meaning of dying in a place like that?"
"We have come all this way to rescue you, so you are coming with us no matter what you say! If you still want to die, then fine! We will prepare a good funeral for you and sent you away to afterlife happily! Just do not die in a place with strangers and enemies!"
-
Inside the upper floors of the courthouse…
"Boy… It's sure hard to locate the others," says Marth.
"Perhaps they reached the top already?" asks Pit.
"Since we're heading for the top, why don't we just go up now?" Marth gets out his sword and gets into a stance.
-
In the floor above…
The juror spins his chain & ball weapon above his head while saying, "Guilty!"
Yoshi watches the ball spin around, and an idea hits him in the head. "That's it!"
The juror throws the iron ball forward to hit them, but they quickly hop back to avoid it.
"We must beat him if we want to get pass!" says Pikachu. "This should be easy since there are 3 of us!"
Suddenly, the floor below the juror breaks apart and Marth comes shooting up through the floor while spinning in a graceful fashion, hitting the juror in the process. "Graceful Spinning Dancer!" he shouts as he rises.
"GUAAAAAAAAA!" screams the juror as he got hit by the sword.
"Whoa! That's Marth!" says Yoshi.
-
Back on the rooftop…
"You get it, Samus?" asks CF. "Die happily on our side rather than painfully on their side!"
"Yeah! Come back-a with us!" says Mario.
Samus just kept silent all the way through. Snake looks at the sad expression on her face and wonders, "Just how heavy is the burden that she is carrying?"
Then the floor behind CF and Mario bursts open, and the juror comes flying out, shortly followed by Marth. "Well, I got to the top already!" he says. Shortly after, Pit, Pikachu, Pichu, and Yoshi come out from the hole also.
"We're here at last!" says Yoshi.
"Marth! You nearly hit us in the process!" Pikachu says to Marth. "If the attack was done any closer, then we're dead meat!"
"Thanks god that we're still alive though," says Pichu.
"Hey! There's Mr. Falcon and Mr. Mario!" says Pit. "But where is Mr. Wario?"
Then another part of the floor bursts open and Wario comes jumping out through it. "At last! I am here!" says Wario. "Mario must be having a…" Then he sees Blueno lying there. "WHAT! MARIO BEATEN HIM ALREADY! I'M LATE!"
All the Smashers—Captain Falcon, Mario, Pikachu, Pichu, Yoshi, Pit, Marth, and Wario—stood at the edge of the rooftop and look towards the Judicial Tower. At the Judicial Tower, Samus and the CP9 members also look straight towards the courthouse roof, where the Smashers are.
"More are coming!" cries Spandam.
"They're all coming one by one," says Kaku.
"That doesn't make any different to us though," says Califa.
"Do you see now, Samus?" asks CF. "We all are here to rescue you. Whether you like it or not, you're coming with us. If you have anything bothering you, then we can solve it for you!"
Samus gets touched and begins to weep upon hearing this.
Marth simply said nothing.
"Come back with us, Samus!" says Pichu.
"We want you to be with us, Ms. Aran!" shouts Pit.
"We're here for you!" says Yoshi.
"We will rescue you!" shouts Mario.
"Please come with us!" says Pikachu.
"Just leave everything to me!" says Wario. "I will beat up your enemies good!"
"You can trust us, Samus," says CF. "Leave everything to us!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
