Just wanna thank you all for those long and nice reviews! I hope you enjoy!
And the horizontal line problem still hasn't been fixed yet... Having been using those for who-knows-how-long, I feel that the story is weird without those lines.
Chapter 34: Snake is the Final Hope! Fight Hard to Surpass Your Enemies!
Marth and Pit are finally freed thanks to the key Pikachu delivered to them. "I can't believe you guys were messing along like this the whole time!" says Pikachu.
Marth and Pit point to each other and say, "He did it."
"You both started everything, so don't blame each other!"
"By the way, where's Pichu?" asks Marth. "Wasn't he supposed to be getting the key?"
"It's like this."
FLASHBACK
"They should be around here!" says Pichu. "I can hear their voices."
Then at this moment, they run into Mario, who happens to be passing by. "Hey guys!" he says.
"Mario! How's everything?" asks Pikachu.
"I found-a out which way da bad guys go. Falcon eez going afta them already, but he does not-a have a key."
"We have 2 possible keys over here," says Snake. "I think it's best that I go after him and give him a hand."
"I'll go with you!" says Pichu. "Marth and Pit are just across that hallway, so Pikachu should be able to find them."
"Okay, you guys go help Samus and Falcon fast!" says Pikachu. "I'll go free the two."
"I'll take-a you there!" says Mario as he leads Snake and Pichu away.
END OF FLASHBACK
"That should make things easier," says Marth. "We don't have to worry about this now, but then, the Annihilation Call is coming too…"
"We mustn't waste time here! Defeat those two fast and let's head for the tunnel Mario spoke of!" says Pikachu.
-
"So this is the tunnel that they went through?" asks Snake, standing in front of a passageway.
"Yeah," says Mario.
"Okay, I and Pichu will go in there first."
"I'll go back-a and help da others and guide them here!" says Mario.
"You take this dinosaur along too," says Snake as he hands Yoshi to Mario. "Carrying him around will hinder my speed."
"Okey-dokey! Leave him to me!" says Mario.
"Okay, let's go!" says Pichu, and he and Snake run into the passageway.
-
Meanwhile, on Alias Square, the soldiers are running mad for the Sky Liner. "Run for it! The whole place is going to be destroyed soon! Help!"
"Darn! This crowd is preventing us from moving forward with ease!" says Bluto. "We'll never get to the Halberd in time at this rate!"
"This is troublesome…" says Meta-Knight.
-
Samus is trying to run from Spandam. "You're not getting anyway, you devil!" says Spandam as he takes out his sword. "Funkfreed, go get her back, but don't kill her!" He swings his sword forward and the blade turns into an elephant trunk and hits Samus hard, knocking her onto the floor.
"YA!" she cries.
"Haha! You should give up all hopes of escaping!" laughs Spandam. "Your friends will never get here! Even if they do, Lucci and the others will kill them! In fact, they're probably all killed already! Bad luck for you! Hahahahaha!"
-
Captain Falcon is still trying hard to get pass Lucci. He runs towards Lucci but is punched away by him easily. "No challenge at all," says Lucci.
"Damn you!" CF jumps forward and grabs onto Lucci's arms. "Falcon Dive!" And an explosion occurs and Lucci is blasted to the other side of the room.
BAAAAAANG!
Then CF quickly runs for the door that Lucci was guarding. Just when he is about to get to it, Lucci uses Soru to catch him and hurls him away again.
CRAAAAASH!
"I told you I will not let you pass no matter what," says Lucci.
"Argh! I cannot waste time any longer!" says CF angrily. "Looks like I have no choice but to defeat you first!"
-
Back with the others…
"You better be prepared," Marth says to Kaku. "That long neck of yours will be your disadvantage."
"I have already gotten used to every part of my body," says Kaku. "Nothing will hinder me!"
"Show me then!"
"Rankyaku Line!" Kaku kicks out a wind blade that travels forward in a straight line. Marth avoids it by jumping over it and towards Kaku. He swings both his swords at Kaku's head, but Kaku uses his nose to block it. "Bigan!"
The two of them clash with such a powerful force that even those at the side can feel the tremendous force! "I can even feel the powerful force they are releasing!" says Pit.
They both continue to push back and forth, until Kaku prevails over Marth and hit him across the room.
CRASH!
Marth gets up and runs at Kaku again while swinging his sword around, but Kaku is able to use only his large square giraffe nose to block them with skill. "Bigan!" Kaku shoots his head forward to hit Marth, but Marth jumped away and he hits the wall instead, and it left behind a perfectly square and clean hole on it!
"Whoa! Look at how his nose created that perfect hole!" gasps Pikachu.
"He has a strong nose!" says Pit.
Marth jumps at Kaku again and swings his sword at the neck, but Kaku uses Tekkai and blocked the hit, and then he uses his long neck as a whip to hit Marth away.
CRASH!
"Mr. Marth!" gasps Pit.
Marth gets back up and says, "You don't have to worry about me! You should just worry about yourself!"
"Right, worry about yourself!" says Jabura, who is sitting at the side and watching everything going on.
"You! I will fight you!" Pit says to him.
"So you still want to fight me? Actually, I don't like to fight. I really dislike killing and seeing blood."
"Really?"
"It's true! I was forced to join the CP9 when I never really wanted to in the first place. I just wanted to be a happy and peaceful guy."
"You don't look like a bad person after all."
"Here, I'll give you the key so you can rescue your friend! She's depending on you!"
"He looks suspicious…" says Pikachu.
"Thank you a lot, mister!" says Pit as he walks forward to collect the key. When he got near the key enough, a sly grin appears on Jabura's face.
"Ten Shigan!" Jabura cups his hands together and thrusts them forward and hits Pit in the body, and all his nails pierce into his skin. "Got ya fooled!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Pit is then sent flying backwards with his body full of wounds.
"Pit!" gasps Pikachu.
"Haha! You are gullible, aren't you?" says Jabura.
"How dare you lie to me!" says Pit angrily.
"You should be ashamed of yourself for falling for this! You deserve it!"
"I will fight you! I will punish you! You are not fit to go to heaven!"
"A villain like you shouldn't be going to heaven in the first place!"
"Face the punishment!" Pit loads an arrow onto his bow and fires it at Jabura, but he uses Soru to zip off.
"Ha! What was that? A wooden stick?" laughs Jabura.
"Do not underestimate me!" Pit shoots out more arrows at Jabura, who is constantly running around the room to avoid it.
"Lame! Is that all you got? You're no fighting type at all!"
"I told you not to underestimate me!" Pit shoots out another arrow at him, but Jabura simple grabs the arrow and snaps it in two. "What!"
"A kid like you should be playing archer at home instead of coming here!" says Jabura.
"Why you!" Pit breaks his bow into two knives and dash forward while swinging them around.
"Now you're playing with blades!" Jabura dashes forward also and swipes his claws at Pit, and it easily knocked both the knives away from Pit's hand.
"Oh no!"
"Shigan!" Jabura stabs Pit in the right shoulder with his sharp nail and hurts him badly.
"GAAAAAAA!"
"PIT!" cries Pikachu.
"Haha! You should've continued running!" says Jabura, holding the injured Pit in the air by the neck. "You should've been like a good sheep and stay in his pen and listen to his shepherd! If a sheep wanders off from his pen, then the big bad wolf will get him!"
Pit thought to himself, "I must fight back and be brave! I want to be the strongest! I must not lose here!" He grabs Jabura's hand which is around his neck and tries to pry them off.
"You still want to fight back? You're not listening to what I said just now! A lost sheep like you will just die!" Jabura then pulls his other hand and readies to give the fatal blow.
"No… Goddess Palutena… Please lend me… strength…"
"Please don't kill him!" cries Pikachu. "I'm your opponent! Please spare him!"
"Too late! A predator will not change prey once he got his eyes on one, and I'm going to kill you next!" says Jabura. "Say good-bye to your friend and then yourself later!"
"Pit!" gasps Marth while he is still fighting Kaku.
"You care a lot about your friend, eh?" asks Kaku as he continues to attack Marth.
"Darn it! If I wasn't busy here, then I would've gone to rescue him!"
"But you should rescue yourself first."
"Pit! Hang in there! I'll help you soon!"
"What do I do?" wonders Pikachu. "If I electrocute the wolf, I may end up hurting Pit too! And Pit's in a critical condition and a shock may hurt him badly! But…"
"Die!" Jabura then thrusts his hand forward towards Pit's head.
"No…" cries Pit.
"HEAD CHARGE!" A large imposing figure crashes into the room all of a sudden and hits Jabura hard in the side, and the impact made him drop Pit and also sends him flying across the room.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams Jabura as he got hit and is send flying.
CRAAAAAAAAASH!
"Phew… Good thing he showed up on time…" says Marth, giving off a sigh of relief.
"Whoa… That was close…" says Pikachu. "If it weren't for him…"
Pit drops onto the floor and coughs out a bit a blood and also tries to catch some air from being strangled earlier. "Phew… Saved…"
"Hey kid! You should thank me, the great Wario, for saving your butt!" says Pit's rescuer, who is none other than Wario himself!
Jabura gets up and glares at him, and asks, "Who are you?"
"I am a wandering warrior in search of a worthy opponent," replies Wario. "Thousand of miles have I traveled… Through mountains and seas I have searched for one. Day and night I pondered upon whether or not I will finally find one. Alas, all those hard works came to pay! Before me is someone I can pound my fists on! And that would be you!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
That was a pretty short chapter, but good action will be coming up next! Pit may not have fought much yet, but he will have a role later on that is important and will make him shine out among others. Be sure to look out for that, fans!
And Wario finally meets his opponent too!
Coming up next chapter: Do What You Can Do! Wario vs. Jabura!
