Chapter 39: Fight on the Battle Battleship! The End of the 8-Year Long Grudge!
Mario, Pikachu, and Yoshi (still not up) are holding onto the edge of the passageway for dear life. "We're gonna fall!" cries Pikachu.
"Mamamia! We can't-a hold on like theez forever!" says Mario.
"This passage is too slanted to climb back up! Please don't let anything fall down from up there!" Pikachu looks up and to his horror; he sees Wario, Marth, and Pit sliding down the passageway. "PIKA!"
"I see the sea down there!" cries Marth. "We're gonna fall off!"
"It must be because Mario is too fat and made this passageway like this!" says Wario.
"Goddess! Help us!" cries Pit.
-
The Sky Liner is filled with tons of soldiers to the point it is in danger of overloading. "Let's get out of here fast!" cry the soldiers.
"But there's nobody driving the Sky Liner! What do we do!"
-
The flying battleships are still bombarding Alias Square with missiles and lasers, destroying the island little by little.
"Vice admiral, the criminal Samus Aran is there!" says a soldier. "Should we go capture her?"
"That would be unnecessary," replies the vice admiral.
"But…"
"The CP9 are down there. They have dedicated their lives to capturing that criminal, so we do not have to worry about this; surely they will accomplish what they must do. Just leave everything to them!"
-
Meanwhile, Lucci has been sent flying into the sky from Captain Falcon's Ultimate Falcon Dive. After flying high enough, he begins to fall back down. "If I fall into the sea like this, I'm done for…" he thought. And then he hits a hard floor. "Huh? A battleship? I'm saved…"
The soldiers aboard the flying battleship are shocked by the sudden appearance of a leopard man falling from the sky. "Someone fell onto the deck! It's a monster!"
"No! He must be a Devil Fruit user! Who are you? Speak at once!" The soldiers point their guns at Lucci.
"Hold your fire!" says the captain. "Don't you know who he is? He is Rob Lucci of the CP9!"
The soldiers are shocked to hear this and quickly put away their guns. "We're so sorry for being rude, Mr. Lucci!"
"Watch your language," says Lucci, who is back in his human form. The soldiers are frightened to hear him say this in such a harsh tone.
"There's something flying towards here!" says a soldier, looking down from the battleship. "It looks like a bird on fire!"
It is in fact Captain Falcon flying up! The fiery wings on his back even gave him the ability to fly! CF flies up into the air higher than the Annihilation Call battleship and looks down at it.
"Ah! It's a flying bird man! I didn't know this kind of creature exists!"
Without saying a thing, CF performs a downward kick towards the battleships. "Ultimate Falcon Kick!"
Lucci quickly hops out of the way to avoid the attack, and CF kicks right through the deck of the battleship and into the floor below.
"Ah! He kicked a hole in the floor!" cries a soldier.
Suddenly, CF smashes right out of the floor below Lucci and tries to hit him in the chin, but Lucci hopped back just in time to avoid the hit. CF then throws several punches at Lucci, but Lucci uses Kamie to avoid them all, and then uses Geppou to jump up high into the sky.
The fiery wings behind CF spread open and he soars into the sky after Lucci and throws a punch, but Lucci avoids it by quickly zipping away.
"Even if you have speed and power, you cannot defeat me!" says Lucci.
"We'll see about that!" says CF. "Ultimate Falcon Kick!" He kicks downwards at Lucci again but misses and crashes through the deck, and Lucci hops into the hole and goes after CF.
"They're in the ship!" cry the soldiers. "If they keep on fighting at this rate, the whole battleship will be destroyed!"
-
Inside the ship, CF and Lucci are engaged in a furious close range combat. They charge at each other and throw several powerful punches and kicks. CF throws a fist forward and Lucci ducks under it, and then performs a leg sweep which CF jumps to avoid it. Then CF slams his foot downwards to hit Lucci, but Lucci rolled out of the way and hits with Shigan, but CF quickly deflects his hand and then kicks him across the room and crashing into some stuffs.
CRASH!
"I know you're still there!" says CF. "There's no way you can fall so easily!"
Suddenly, a leopard jumps out of the darkness and caught CF by surprise and bites him in the shoulder.
"GYAH!"
CF shakes around to get the leopard off, but it just wouldn't. CF rams the leopard against the wall many times until it finally got off, and the leopard transform back into Lucci.
Lucci dashes at CF and punches really fast to hit him, and CF keeps on blocking with his arms, but the attack is too fast and he could not find a chance to fight back.
Lucci then surprises him by using Soru to get behind him and delivers a powerful blow to his back and knocks him across the room and crashing into some of the ship controls.
CRASH!
CF gets up again and dashes at him furiously and throws a really strong punch that missed its target and hits a large reactor instead.
BANG!
This caused the entire battleship to begin malfunctioning, and the soldiers begin to panic greatly. "Ahhhh! The battleship is going to fall!"
CF tears off a piece of metal from the reactor and throws it at Lucci, but Lucci easily breaks the metal piece into pieces with his fist. He dashes at CF again and strikes him in the face multiple times, and then hits him into the ceiling and right through it!
BAAAAAAAAANG!
CF flies into the sky, and the fiery wings behind him spread open again and he flies downwards after Lucci. Lucci quickly jumps off and onto the top of the battleship's giant mast. CF goes for the mast and throws a super powerful fiery punch at it. "Ultimate Falcon Punch!" And the entire mast breaks apart and collapse!
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
Lucci jumps into the air after the mast has collapsed and strikes his finger against the air and shot out an air bullet. "Shigan Pick!" The air bullet moves too fast for CF to avoid and it hits him in the shoulder.
"Ugh!"
"Rankyaku Glorious Bird!" Lucci then kicks out a large wind blade in the shape of a bird. CF quickly rolls to the side to avoid it, and the wind blade cuts through the floor and almost severed the entire battleship in half!
"Whoa! I'll be in pieces if I got hit by that!" says CF.
"AHHHHH! THE BATTLESHIP IS BREAKING APART!" scream the soldiers.
Lucci jumps down at CF and they continue their furious battle.
-
On another battleship, the vice admiral asks his soldiers, "What's going on in that battleship?"
"Rob Lucci is fighting someone there!" reply the soldiers.
"That must be a criminal. We must destroy that battleship to kill that criminal. Lucci surely can survive something like this."
"But 1000 of our men are on that battleship!" says a soldier. "If we destroy it…"
The vice admiral pulls out a gun and shoots that soldier dead, and says, "If you worry too much and hesitate, then justice cannot be kept! We must destroy that battleship as a sacrifice to achieve true justice!"
The soldiers panic in fear and follow the vice admirals command, even though they don't really want to. That battleship fires all its cannons at the battleship where CF and Lucci are fighting, and destroys it.
KAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"Good, the criminal should be dead and Lucci should have escaped," says the vice admiral.
Lucci did escape from the explosion using Geppou, but CF was sent flying out of the explosion and he lands onto another battleship (not the one with the vice admiral)!
"Ah! That person Rob Lucci was fighting is here!" cry the soldiers onboard. "He's going to destroy this ship too!"
"Man! Those guys must be crazy to destroy their own battleship!" says CF. Then he feels that something is missing. He touches his back and realizes that his Hunter Spear is gone! "Oh no! My Holy Weapon is gone! I can't use Ultimate Falcon anymore!" He looks up and sees Lucci jumping in the air above him.
"Now let's see what you can do in a situation like this," says Lucci.
-
Back on the take-off island, Samus is still trembling in fear at the sight of the bombardment by the Annihilation Call battleships.
"Haha! Did you see that?" asks Spandam. "One of the Smashers flew up there by god-knows-how method and got blown up along with the battleship! He's blasted to pieces! Hahahaha!"
"What the! They destroyed their own battleship!" says Snake. "Are they crazy?"
"This is justice, John Doe. Now hand over Samus Aran and I will erase your crimes!"
"Never!"
"Why do you want to help a criminal like her? Furthermore, you are not a Smasher, and yet, you pity her a lot."
"These guys are the greatest people I've ever met in my life. The word Alias Lobby and Big Brother always struck fear to anyone who hears it. If it is related to the government, then people do not have any right to say anything against them. But these people are different… They go even to the extent of making the highest authority in the world their enemy, just to rescue their friend. After seeing all their accomplishments here, I have been motivated to fight alongside them. I am willing to die for them too!"
"You are crazy! You shall die for your stupid belief!" Spandam takes out his sword and says to it, "Funkfreed, go and critically wound Samus so that she can't move, and bring her to me!"
"It's the elephant sword!" say the soldiers. "That weapon is a powerful one too!"
"Elephant Chop!" Spandam swings his sword and it transforms into an elephant with a sword trunk, and it goes charging for Samus.
Samus sits there with fear in her mind, ready to expect the worst as the tip of the sword comes nearer and nearer to her. Suddenly, Pichu jumps forward and fires an electric beam. "Thunder Wave!" The beam hits Funkfreed and paralyzes him so that he cannot move.
"Funkfreed!" gasps Spandam. "What have you done to him, you rat!"
"Just gave him a bit of stunning," replies Pichu.
Snake points a gun at Funkfreed's head and says, "Elephant, if you do not want to have your head blown off, then turn your trunk into a normal one. I warn you: It's going to hurt getting your head blown off, even though you're an ordinary sword to begin with."
Not wanting to experience the pain, Funkfreed turns its sword trunk into a normal elephant trunk.
"Now that's a good elephant."
"What are you doing!" says Spandam.
"You're totally hopeless," Snake says to him. "8 years ago, Worker Hand risked his life to save us, but I don't have the strength to fight back and had no choice but to accept his fate, which is caused by none other than you! I've never thought this day would finally come… Whenever I think of your ugly, stupid face…" Then Snake raises his voice and shouts loudly, "I REALLY WANT TO TEAR YOU APART! HIYAAAAAA!" Amazingly, Snake grabs Funkfreed by the trunk and lifts him up into the air using both hands!
"YAAAAAAAA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" screams Spandam.
Snake drops Funkfreed on top of Spandam.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
And Spandam is crushed underneath Funkfreed, who has also passed out.
"That was cool!" exclaims Pichu. "I never knew you were strong enough to lift an elephant!
"I feel better now," says Snake. He turns to the frightened soldiers and says, "Now hand over to us the helicopter before you experience lots of PAIN!" Then he sees Samus getting up.
"I want to help now," says Samus. "This time it's not like before. I have friends on my side who are risking their lives to help me. I will fight alongside them too!"
"Good to hear that!"
"Pichu! Let's work together!" says Pichu.
-
Meta-Knight and the others have finally reached the Halberd. "Good to be in here at last," says Meta-Knight. "Start the engines and fly to the take-off island and fetch the Smashers!"
"Yes!" say everyone else.
-
Meanwhile, Mario, Pikachu, Yoshi (still down), Marth, Wario, and Pit are still holding for dear life onto the edge of the broken passageway. "How are we ever going to get out of here!" says Pikachu.
"I don't-a know!" says Mario.
"Do something, Mario!" says Wario. "I thought you said you are good at everything! Now prove to me by getting us out of here!"
"I don't-a know what-a to do!"
"You're useless!"
"Can you guys stop arguing!" yells Marth.
"If only I can do something…" says Pit.
"You have wings, so use them!" says Wario.
"But I told you I broke them when I fell down from the tower! I won't be able to fly until they have recovered!"
"And how long does that take?"
"A few days…"
"You're not telling me that we have to be stuck here for a few days, are you!"
"That's not what I mean…"
At this moment, Yoshi starts to open his eyes. "Yawn… What a good sleep… Where are we?" He looks around and is shocked to find himself looking down at the sea. "What the! What am I doing here!" And if you want to know, Mario is grabbing his tail with one hand the whole time.
"Yoshi! You're awake at-a last!" says Mario.
"Why are we here!"
"Talk about that later!" cries Pikachu. "Somebody save us!"
Then there is a sudden gust of wind that blew by and it caused the passage to sway a bit. "Ugh… This makes me sick…" says Marth.
"Don't vomit on me!" says Wario. "Do it on Mario!"
"I can't hold on any longer…" says Pikachu.
"Goddess… Help us…" moans Pit.
"Why don't we just jump down?" asks Yoshi. "It's the sea down there, right? We should…"
"And how do we come back up, Mr. Wise Guy?" asks Wario.
"Um… Yoshi?"
Suddenly, a missile fired by the battleships lands on top of the passageway and blew it off, and this caused the entire thing to fall down, and not to mention those poor guys…
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE'RE DEAD!" they all scream as they fall along with the broken passage.
They all are expecting their end to come when suddenly something snatched them in midair and they don't feel themselves falling anymore. "Huh? What-a happened?" asks Mario.
"Glad that I made it in time…" says a really familiar voice.
The Smashers look at their rescuer and find out that they are sitting on top of a giant hand. "Master Hand!" they all exclaim.
TO BE CONTINUED…
The Smashers are saved! CF and Lucci's fight have yet come to a climax, but it will soon! And hooray that Spandam get owned! Hahahahaha! He deserves it!
