Chapter 38: The Nightmare Has Come True! Arrival of the Annihilation Call!
Spandam crawls out from the helicopter and says, "Who shot me just now!"
"There's someone on top of the Judicial Tower firing beams at us!" replies a soldier.
"How is it possible for his aim to be that accurate! Shoot him down!"
"We can't! The wind is too strong and our bullets won't hit him! That person must have really good accuracy to hit us!"
"I don't care! Make him stop annoying us!" shouts Spandam, and then another beam of light hits him in the face and explodes. "YAH!"
"Chief!"
Samus sees this as a chance and quickly runs away from her captors.
"She's getting away!" cries Spandam. "Don't let her get away! Shoot her, but don't kill her!"
"Yes, chief!" And the soldiers begin firing their guns at Samus.
Suddenly, someone appears in between Samus and the bullets, and that person took the bullets himself, but the bullets bounce off his body!
"What!"
Samus turns around and sees that Snake was the one who protected her! "My bulletproof vest can withstand any sort of attacks," says Snake, who is smoking black for an obvious reason.
"Me too," says Pichu, who is also smoking black. "No mine is getting in my way!"
"It's John Doe and a Smasher!" gasps Spandam. "How did you get here?"
"I'm so glad to see you, Spandam!" says Snake sarcastically.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the floor next to Snake, and when the light explosion from it ends, a bag is seen there. "Can you hear me, Mr. Snake?" says a voice from inside the bag. Snake opens the bag and finds some keys and a walkie-talkie in there. "I'm talking to you through this device. With these keys and the ones you have currently, you should be able to free Samus!"
"Got it!" says Snake.
"What! You got all the keys already!" gasps Spandam. "Impossible! You can't have beaten the CP9 already! You must've got lucky and escaped with the keys! There's no way they can lose so easily!"
"But you better believe it, jerk!"
-
"Okay, now that we have delivered the key, we have to get there fast," says Marth.
"Right! Mission is done here!" says Wario.
"We're on our way there now, Ms. Aran!" says Pit.
-
Snake is trying out all the keys on the handcuff. "Nope… Not this… Not this either… Aha!" He finally found the right key and Samus's hands are free at last!
"Oh no! The handcuffs are gone!" cries Spandam.
"Now that you're free, you are free to do whatever you want with them," Snake says to Samus.
"I know that," says Samus. "I have been keeping this with me the whole time, but never had the chance to use it." Samus reaches into her pocket and takes out a small gun, which she removes the top part and it turns into a beam saber of sorts.
"You got a cool weapon there!"
Samus swings the saber at Spandam and it extends really long and wraps around him. "What the!" gasps Spandam. Samus then lifts him up and spins him around in air for a while before slamming him head first onto the ground.
BAAAAAAAANG!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Chief!" cry the soldiers.
Samus retracts the beam whip and says, "I can do that for as long as I feel like!"
"Good one!" says Snake. "Now will you join our fighting force?"
"Of course!"
"Good! Now let us use that helicopter to get out of here! That's our only means of escape now."
Suddenly, they hear an explosion and a large amount of water from the sea gushes up next to the island.
"Whoa! What was that!"
Spandam gets up and says, "Can it be!"
-
Back on the tower…
"Did you see that explosion just now?" asks Marth.
"That's one helluva big explosion!" says Wario.
"I fear the worst right now… Pit, come on down fast!"
"I'm coming!" says Pit.
Suddenly, a bullet flies in all of a sudden and hits the upper half portion of the tower.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
"WHAT THE!" gasps Marth and Wario.
The upper half of the tower broke off and plummets down the gorge and into the sea below. Marth and Wario watch with a shocked face.
"PIT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Suddenly, Pit falls onto the floor.
BANG!
"What the heck! You're still alive!"
"Didn't you guys have the heart to catch me when I was falling!" says Pit. "Now I think I broke a wing!"
-
Back on the square…
"Ah! I knew that wasn't a normal explosion!" says a soldier. "The Annihilation Call is here!"
"Oh no! We're done for!" cries Bluto.
"Not yet," says Punk. "We still have a chance to escape as long as the bombardment hasn't begun."
"How can we even get through this crowd!" says Pix.
"Pork is doing a good job of clearing a way…"
-
In the passageway that connects between the second and the third island…
"Did you hear that-a sound?" asks Mario, who is carrying Yoshi.
"I did," says Pikachu. "Sounds like the bombing has started!"
"We must-a get outta here fast-a!"
"I hope the other three guys catch up with us fast!"
-
"What on earth was that!" gasps Snake. "The top part of the tower got blown off just like that!" And then he notices Samus trembling in fear. "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh no… The nightmare is coming back to me!" cries Samus.
"Snap out of it!"
"Haha! There's no escape for you guys anymore!" says Spandam. "The Annihilation Call was bomb testing just now, and you saw how powerful that was? Can you imagine a power like that? What can you do?"
"This!" Snake hurls his shoe at Spandam and smacks him in the face.
SMACK!
"YEOW!"
"Darn it! We must get out of here as fast as possible! That helicopter is the only choice left! If only the others can get here fast!"
"I'm scared!" cries Pichu.
"Not you too!"
Suddenly, a large shadow looms over the island and blots out the sun. "Oh no! It's here! The Annihilation Call is here at last!" cry the soldiers.
Indeed, up in the sky, 10 giant flying battleships can be seen hovering above the island.
"It's here! It's here!" gasps Spandam.
"Destination Alias Lobby is in sight," says the captain of the Annihilation Call fleet. "Prepare to destroy everything on it except the take-off island, for the criminal Samus Aran and the chief of the CP9 is there! Show no mercy! Destroy everything!"
-
In the passageway, Marth and Wario, who is carrying Pit, are running as fast as they can. "We must catch up with the others before the whole place gets blown up!" says Marth.
"These people are crazy to think of blowing up their own place!" says Wario.
"Mr. Wario! Please be lighter!" says Pit. "My bones hurt!"
"Shut up!"
-
Back to Captain Falcon and Lucci…
"Did you hear that?" asks Lucci. "The Annihilaton is starting the bombing. There is nothing you can do at the moment now."
"I don't care, as long as I get to defeat you!" says CF.
"You are very persistent, eh? I'd like to see what you can do in a situation like this! Rankyaku!" Lucci kicks a wind blade at the passage that leads into this place, and totally cuts off the passage. The cut passage disconnects from the room and slants downwards, and is in danger of totally collapsing. "Now your friends who are coming towards here will never make it! They will fall to their doom below!"
"You fiend!"
-
"Aaaaaaaah! The floor became slanted!" cries Pikachu.
"Mamamia! I'm sliding downwards!" cries Mario. And they three slide down the now slanted passageway and towards the opening below.
"I can see the sea down there! WE'RE GONNA FALL TO OUR DOOM!"
"MAMAMIA!"
-
"How can you do such a thing!" says CF angrily.
"Do you think you can solve out everything?" asks Lucci. "I will let you know that it is impossible for you to let things go as you like it! There is no way you can win right now! Evil is destined to lose in the end!"
"Don't talk like you're a hero!"
"You can go rescue them if you want to. Aren't they your friends? Don't you care about them?"
"I'm not taking my eyes off you! I believe in their powers and surely they can survive! Plus, if I let you escape now, you'll go kill them all! Therefore, I am NOT taking my eyes off you until I defeated you!"
"You are the one who suggested on coming here in the first place, right? As a leader, you really have a strong and determined heart and also trust in your comrades a lot. You are truly an admirable leader. I wish I could let that idiotic boss of mine learn from you!" Lucci then kicks out a wind blade in the form of a swirl. "Rankyaku Leopard Tail!"
CF quickly jumps to the side, but the attack came out too fast and he got cut in the waist. "Ugh!" He gets back up and charges at Lucci just as he throws a kick forward. CF steps aside to avoid the kick and then grabs him by the leg using one hand, and then CF pulls back his other arm. "Falcon…"
"Tekkai Deutzia!"
Note: Deutzia is a kind of flower known for having hollow piths.
"Punch!" CF's fist hits Lucci's chest, but CF himself is sent flying backwards instead and his arm is in great pain. "Ugh! What pain!"
"This is a counter type Tekkai," explains Lucci. "All your attacks would be returned into your body with equal strength. A normal person probably can't withstand a punch that strong."
"Argh! I'll get you for this!" CF gets up and charges forward again. "Raptor Boost!"
Lucci steps to the side and hits CF in the back and then kicks him across the room.
BANG!
"Shigan Pick!" Lucci strikes his finger against the air and shoots out an air bullet, which hits CF in the right shoulder.
"Gugh!"
"Sora Blade!" Lucci dashes at CF and slashes him with his claws and sends him rolling across the room.
"YAAAAAA!"
"You are reaching your limit," says Lucci. "At first, I thought I have finally found someone who is equal in strength with me, but you have disappointed me a lot. You are far weaker than I thought you would be."
"Do not underestimate me!" says CF angrily.
"What can you do now? There is no way you can defeat me at this state."
"Of course I can! I have one more trick up more sleeves! You think I'm weak? Think again!" CF straps his Hunter Spear to his back in a horizontal position, and then he crouches down.
"What are you doing now?"
"Ultimate… Falcon!" shouts CF, and then his body suddenly gets covered in a bright orange, fiery aura, and two large wings made of fiery energy replaces the both ends of the spear! "Hehe! By releasing the fiery falcon powers throughout my whole body and into the spear itself, I gain great powers that are several times stronger than before!"
"If those wings are for looks, then don't bother wasting your time."
"They're not only for looks! I will show you my true power now! You better get prepared for this!" CF then charges at Lucci very fast.
"Tekkai!" Lucci quickly hardens his body.
"Ultimate Mach Punch!" CF throws several super fast punches at Lucci and breaks through his Tekkai, pummeling him in the body rapidly.
POW! WHACK! POW! WHAM!
"Ugh! What power!" gasps Lucci as he takes those hits.
"Ultimate Raptor Boost!" CF uppercuts Lucci in the chin hard and sends in crashing into the ceiling.
CRRRRAAASH!
CF then jumps up high and grabs Lucci's body. "Ultimate Falcon Dive!" A bright light engulfs the two of them, and then a large explosion follows.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The roof of the passageway bursts open and fire shoots out everywhere like a volcano, and Lucci is sent flying high into the sky.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Yes, this Ultimate Falcon thing is what Captain Falcon used to destroy the door to the passageway in the first place, and now you get to see what it actually is! The explanation may not sound too logical, but this a fiction story, who cares about realistic explanations?
