Chapter 33: Pikachu vs. Califa! The Key to Freedom is at Hand!
Captain Falcon and Lucci are still engaged in a fierce combat. CF charges forward and throws a strong uppercut, but Lucci easily avoided it. CF then performs a spinning kick attack, but Lucci caught him by the leg and hurls him off into a pile of crates.
CRASH!
CF gets back up and hurls a crate at Lucci, but he destroyed it with a simple punch. CF then runs up to him and deliver several quick punches, but Lucci uses Kamie to avoid every single hit and none of them came in contact. Lucci grabs CF by his arms and kicks him across the room with a simple kick.
BANG!
CF gets up and growls angrily, and then dashes forward very fast and perform a flying kick. Lucci lifts up his leg and easily blocked it with his foot, and then pushes him away using that same foot.
CRASH!
And all this time, Lucci remained in front of the door and did not budge at all, no matter how hard CF tried to attack him.

Back in the tower…
"What are you going to do now that your time is limited?" asks Califa.
"We can handle everything ourselves!" says Pikachu.
"What can you do in that condition?"
Pikachu tries to release electricity, but he can't. "This bubble coating is preventing me from using my powers!"
"You can't struggle any longer. Wicked people like you should be eliminated." Califa kicks Pikachu into the air, and then she jumps up and kicks him to the floor again.
"Pika!"
"Rankyaku!" Califa kicks out wind blades at Pikachu, and he tries his best to escape them, even though he can't move properly in his current distorted form.
"I must try to find a way out of this!" Pikachu keeps on running around to avoid getting hit by the incoming wind blades.
"You sure are good at avoiding my attacks," says Califa. "But you cannot keep this up forever." She rushes forward to him and swings her arm forward. "Whipping Shigan!"
Pikachu barely avoided it and got knocked onto the floor once again. "Ya! I must fight back fast!" And then he notices that his tail is back to normal. "Eh? How come?"
"Rankyaku!"
Pikachu didn't have time to think about it and avoids the attack fast. "My tail is back to normal! How did this happen?" Then he noticed that when he got hit by her previous attack, he flew onto a puddle of water on the floor. "That's it! Water! I can use water to wash myself!" Then Pikachu runs for the bathtub that is in the middle of the room, and there is still water in it.
"Even if you found out a way to cure this, I won't let you do anything!" Califa charges at him and kicks him away again.
"PIKA!"
Califa continues to attack Pikachu and not giving him a chance to move at all.
"Ugh! I won't be able to hold on any longer unless I get to the water fast!"
"Die! Shigan!" Califa thrusts her finger forward, and it scraped by Pikachu's cheek, and at this instant, Pikachu bites her finger hard. "YEOW! LET GO!" She shakes her finger up and down and Pikachu lets go and flies across the room and directly into the bathtub. "Oh no!"
Pikachu crawls back out, and he is back to normal, but wet. "Ha! Thanks for the help!"
"You dare bite my delicate finger! But this is as far as you go!"
"Let's see about that! Thunderbolt!" Pikachu shoots out a large lightning bolt at Califa.
"Soru!" She quickly zips out of the way to avoid it and appears next to Pikachu, and then throws a kick at her. Pikachu quickly uses Quick Attack to escape the attack just in time, and fires another lightning bolt that misses as usual.
"I will take away your powers!" says Califa, and then she fires out several bubbles at Pikachu.
"Bring it on! I'm not afraid of it anymore!" says Pikachu. The bubbles surround Pikachu and completely bury him underneath.
"Now you will be very weak and unable to move as the bubbles wash away your strength," says Califa.
"Level up!" Then there was a flash and all the bubbles pop, and Pikachu is seen riding in a man-sized robot walker.
"What the!"
"This is the Level 2 form of my Electric Harness!" explains Pikachu. "Now victory is with me!"
"Cool looking suit you got there, but you're still no match for me!"
"You'll see!" Pikachu then charges up electricity and gathers a ball of electric in the robot walker's hand.
"I won't let you do anything! Rankyaku!" Califa quickly kicks a wind blade at Pikachu. Pikachu quickly throws the electric ball away, and the wind blade hits his robot walker, but it didn't do much damage.
"You can't damage my harness!"
"I can if I hit it hard enough." Califa runs to Pikachu and kicks and punches the robot walker several times, with each hit pushing him backwards.
"Man! You're strong! I have to get stronger!" says Pikachu, and the robot walker zips off at a fast speed and reappears on the other side of the room.
"What!"
"This suit is like a part of my body! I have full control over it! Now take this! Double Team!" Then several clones of Pikachu in the robot walker appear all over the room!
"What the!" gasps Califa.
"Can you guess which is the real me?" ask the clones as they all do the same movement of gathering a ball of electricity in their hands.
"I'll just take on all of them!" Califa goes for a random Pikachu and kicks it, but the Pikachu disappears. "A fake one!"
"I told you that you cannot guess out the real me!" say the Pikachu.
"Argh!" Califa goes crazy and starts beating on the clones one by one, but for every clone she destroys, another one is created.
"Pika! The more you destroy, the more I'll create!"
After the electric ball is big enough, Pikachu throws it in a random direction. "Where do you think you're aiming for?" asks Califa.
"You'll know it later! Now I'm going to give you something shocking!" says Pikachu, and then the fist of his robot walker begins to emit electricity. And then Pikachu, along with all the clones, charge at Califa.
"Oh no!" she gasps, as she doesn't know which is the real one.
"Thunder Punch!" The fist of the real Pikachu contacts with Califa and hits her really hard and not to mention electrocuting her badly.
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Califa gets punches across the room and crashes hard into the wall.
BANG!
"Pika! I got you!"
Califa gets back up and growls angrily. "How dare you! You have made me angry! I will wash away all of you so I'll know which is the real one! Soap Sheep!" She gathers bubble around her body to form a sheep. "Soap Sheep Tsunami!" And then the bubbles around her becomes a large wave of soap water and goes towards Pikachu.
"If I'm hit by that, I'm done for!" gasps Pikachu. He stretches forward the hand of the robot walker and shoots out a quick beam. "Shock Wave!" The beam hits the side of the incoming wall of soap water and creates a passage that the real Pikachu quickly runs through.
"So you cut through my wave using electricity? And you are the real one at that too!" says Califa.
On the other side of the wave, Pikachu begins to create a ball of electricity again. "C'mon! This better work!"
Suddenly, Califa rushes out of the wave and straight for Pikachu, who threw away the ball of electric just before she hits him. She uses Shigan to stabs in the right side of his body.
"PIKA!"
"I got you now," says Califa. "Now I'll tear lots of holes in your body!"
"You should be aware of your situation right now…" says Pikachu painfully. "Look around you."
Califa looks around the room and sees 3 electric balls hovering around her. "What are those?"
"The electric balls I created will stay in one place unless I give out an order," explains Pikachu. "Their electricity is attracted to each other. Now that you are between those 3, you are getting in their way of electric current flow.
"What!"
"Delta Thunder Force!"
Then the 3 electric balls emit powerful electricity around each other, and trap Califa in the middle like a bird in cage, and in there, she gets electrocuted badly by the high voltage electricity. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screams bloody murder.
BZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
Then the electricity dies down and she collapse onto the floor, all burned up and smoking. "No matter how strong you are, you cannot withstand my electric powers!" says Pikachu as his robot walker turns back into a simple harness around his body.
At this moment, Snake, carrying an unconscious Yoshi, and Pichu run into the room. "Hey mouse!" says Snake.
"Pikachu!" says Pichu.
"You guys! What happened to Yoshi?" says Pikachu.
"He's just tired from his previous fight. Anyway, I see that you have defeated the secretary girl already!" says Snake. "Quick, we must have her key!"
"Why?"
Pichu explains the situation to him.
"I see… Okay, I wonder where she hid the key?" Pikachu crawls around Califa' body and even goes into the extent of ripping her clothes to find out. And Snake gives a thumb up to it.

Meanwhile, Jabura and Kaku are still arguing with each other while Marth and Pit are hiding somewhere in the room. "If the key doesn't come here, then we will never get out of this mess!" says Marth.
"Mr. Marth, I was wondering if this method of getting free will work," says Pit.
"What?"
"By cutting off our legs."
"Are you crazy!"
"We can just sew it back, can't we?"
"We're not stuffed dolls! Use some common sense, would you?"
"Now what…?"
"Argh! I'm still fighting them no matter what! Running from my enemy isn't my style!" Marth stands out from his hiding place and shouts to those two. "Hey you! Enough with your argument already?"
"So you still want to challenge us even in that state?" asks Kaku.
"I don't care! I can still take on you!"
"But… what about me?" asks Pit.
"You stand back; I'll handle them," Kaku says to Jabura.
"No way! They'll mine!" protests Jabura.
"No, let me."
"They're my prey! So you stay out of this!"
"You want to fight?"
"Bring it on!"
"Can you two get serious!" shouts Marth.
"Hey guys!" shouts Pikachu as he runs towards them. "I got the key!"
"Yes!" exclaim Marth and Pit.
Kaku and Jabura are still arguing with each other and they heard Marth shouting at them again, and they turn to him and see that Marth and Pit are now freed! "So you're freed," says Kaku. "Good!"
"This isn't your time to be happy!" says Marth with a devilish look and smile on his face. "It is the time you should regret!"
"I will fight you with all my strength!" says Pit.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Califa is down too, and what's better is that Marth and Pit are finally freed! Can they get through all these mess in time before the Annihilation Call comes? And will Wario ever get to fight? Find out soon!
