Chapter 10
Attack of the Smash Pros
Piriodo is the name of one of the islands that contains one of the four Endpoints. Other than having a large volcano that could cause the end of the world, the island itself was nothing to look at. There was nothing besides rocks and endless span of rocks. There were no faunas and floras at all on the island.
The island had no inhabitants, unsurprisingly, but the people who were there at the moment were a large amount of soldiers. In order to protect the Endpoint, the military was stationed there to keep an eye out on the Smash Pros if they show up.
A metal dome had been built around the mouth of the volcano, a rather impressive feat for something that only started construction yesterday. This was to keep anyone from gaining easy access to the volcano interior.
Other than a large amount of soldiers situated on various parts of the island, there were also a large amount of mounted guns designed for taking on aerial targets, which was necessary due to the Smash Pros traveling through air.
Bylet was one of the more notable soldiers present and also the one with the highest ranking at the moment. Fully armed from head to toe, he paced around in front of the metal dome covering the volcano's mouth while keeping an eye on coastline of the island, which was visible from where he is due to the height he was on, and the sky.
He eventually noticed something in the air and so asked for anyone nearby to observe it using a pair of binoculars. The soldier who observed said object then handed the binoculars to Bylet. "It's them!" he told the latter.
Bylet looked through the binoculars and saw that it was Smash Pro's airship. Lowering the binoculars, he gave orders for the mounted turrets to fire.
When his command was broadcasted to all the soldiers on the island, everyone got busy. The mounted guns were aimed at the airship and fired.
Due to the distance of the airship, none of the shots seemed to hit it. The airship then fired a large amount of missiles at the island, striking spots that had several soldiers and mounted guns.
Explosions rocked the place, and screams of soldiers filled the air as several of them got blown up by the missiles.
As the airship came closer to the island, it fired missiles at the metal dome covering the volcano's mouth. Everyone close to it ran before the missiles struck.
However, when the explosions cleared, the dome was seen completely unharmed.
"Wow! This thing really is tough!" commented a soldier in awe.
The remaining mounted guns continued to fire at the airship, but their shots didn't seem to be doing anything to it.
The airship rained down missiles again, taking out most of the mounted guns and killing even more soldiers.
The remaining soldiers then saw several objects flying out of the airship's hatch. They were flying platforms with glass domes, containing members of the Smash Pros.
The platforms reached the ground, and the members stepped down to engage the soldiers on foot. The soldiers tried to shoot them with their guns, but with swift sliding movements, the Pros were able to dodge the bullets and make their way close to the soldiers, taking them out before they could do anything.
As some soldiers tried their best to fight back, a brown blur zoomed past them, sending them flying with powerful impacts. The blur came to a stop and revealed itself to be a brown anthropomorphic hedgehog looking exactly like Sonic, save for the color.
"That's Mark the Hedgehog!" pointed out a soldier.
At the same time, a dark gray blur was also seen running around, knocking out the soldiers. It came to a stop and revealed itself to be a dark gray hedgehog with a red scar running down his left eye.
A soldier saw him and said, "That's Scar the Hedgehog!"
A yellow blur then rushed through the place, leaving behind a trail of electricity as it ran and also zapping anyone it ran across. It turned out to be a yellow hedgehog with quills shaped like thunderbolts.
"That's Thunder the Hedgehog!" pointed out another soldier.
Something then fell from the sky and flattened a female soldier underneath him, creating a bloody, flattened mess as a result. It was a morbidly obese man wearing a light blue skintight hedgehog suit. He wore glasses and had lips so thick that it looks like it was stung by a bee.
"I know him!" said yet another soldier. "That's Plonic the Hedgehog!"
On another part of the island, some soldiers were fighting another Smash Pro, and a relatively powerful one at that.
He was a male with spiky gray hair and wore a black overdesigned leather shirt in that it has a large amount of unnecessary belts, zippers, and buttons. His trousers were as equally overdesigned as his shirt, made using the same material. Silver blade-like accessories were also hanging from various parts of his attire.
What was most striking about him was that he had pale skin and eyes with black scleras and red pupils, making him look like a demon of sorts, and red lines resembling bloody tears ran down his eyes.
The soldiers were shooting him with machine guns, but amazingly enough, he was able to use a pair of katana blades to deflect them by swinging them around skillfully and incredibly fast.
"How is he deflecting all our bullets?!" asked a soldier in shock and disbelief.
"I know him!" said another soldier. "He's Edgy Edge Edgeton the Edgiest Edged Edgelord!"
Suddenly, Edge dashed forward at a blinding speed, and when he went past the soldiers, they were cut into several pieces.
Without turning back to look at the bloody remains of the soldiers, he said, "Nothing can withstand the sharpness of my edge."
A horse-eared girl with long brown hair wearing a a light blue two-piece track and field attire and sporting a literal horse tail rushed towards a soldier who was ready to shoot her, but before he could pull the trigger of his machine gun, the girl jumped at him and smashed him in the face with her knee so hard that his skull was destroyed.
The horse girl's name is Equestrina.
Not too far away was a girl with pink hair ties into twin ponytails. She wore a white tank top and a pair of denim shorts. Armed with a long steel pole, she successfully used it to deflect bullets fired at her by a couple of soldiers.
When the soldiers stopped firing temporarily, she swung the pole, which extended in length as she did so, and decapitated them, despite there being nothing sharp on the pole.
Her name is Cindy.
Not too far away was another girl with shoulder-length green hair wearing a black buttoned up vest and a pair of knee-length pants. Her most striking features were a pair of insect antennas on her head, four long insectoid legs growing out of her back, and a large scorpion tail.
She stabbed a soldier through the abdomen with her scorpion tail, which extended in length slightly, and lifted him into the before hurling him aside.
Her name is Arthropa.
Elsewhere, some more soldiers were fighting against a woman. She wore an orange tank top and a pair of jeans. She has long hair that is colored black and orange. Her most striking feature was that her eyes had black scleras accompanied by yellow pupils.
"I know her!" said a soldier to his comrades. "She's Irene, the strongest member of the group that isn't one of the four god-tiered members! In fact, she is considered a candidate for being a god tier! If I remember correctly, her powers come from a Devil Fruit, and a very rare one at that!"
"If she's that strong, then don't give her a chance to do anything! Kill her right away!" said another soldier.
The soldiers present wasted no time in shooting her. Irene stood still and let the bullets hit her. Several bloody holes were created on her body before she finally fell back.
The soldiers cheered, thinking that they killed her, only to be shocked when they saw her standing back up. What was even more shocking was that her injuries healed by themselves at a fast speed, and in just a few seconds, she was back in top condition.
"What?! How is that possible!" gasped a soldier.
"You are correct when you said that I was a candidate for being a god. I will show you why!" Irene said to them in an intimidating tone as something began happening to her body, a sight which shocked the soldiers.
While the fights went on, Bylet stood near the top of the volcano, watching the chaos unfolding down below. He then saw three people approaching him.
It was Lou, Mora, and Jay, the remaining three god-tiered Smash Pros now that Alpha Zero is dead.
"This is as far as you evil-doers go," Bylet said to them while drawing his sword.
"That is a disrespectful way to speak to gods," Mora said to him.
"You should be bowing down before gods like us," said Lou.
"You have no right to interfere with what gods are doing," said Jay.
"If anything, I am the god around here, and I have judged you all guilty and deserving of death," said Bylet in an intimidating tone as he got into a fighting stance .
Within the navigation room if the Final Destination, Master Hand said to some of the Smashers who had gathered there, "The Alloys picked up a communication broadcast from the military. The Smash Pros are heading for Piriodo."
"That place has an Endpoint, I assume?" asked Captain Falcon.
"Indeed. We're heading there now to fight them. It doesn't matter if the military wants outside interference. We're going to do what must be done!" said Master Hand.
"Of course we're going to interfere! No way am I going to let the Smash Pros slip out of my hands!" said Wario while clenching and raising a fist.
"It's not correct to say we're interfering with them," said Captain Falcon. "Instead, we should be saying that we're there to help them."
At the hospital, Donkey was still unconscious in his infirmary room, while Diddy was at the guest area outside, playing Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch's controller.
Just then, Agent 3 and a blue, male Inkling came over to him, the former holding a paper bag. "You hungry? Here's a treat for you!" Agent 3 said to Diddy while handing him the paper bag containing fast food.
"Thanks! I was just thinking of getting something to eat!" Diddy said to her as he accepted the paper bag. "Is it all right if I just take it?"
"Like I said, it's a treat for you! It's all yours!" Agent 3 told him, and then she pointed at the Inkling next to herself. "This is my partner, Agent 4."
"Nice to meet you!" Agent 4 said to Diddy while waving at him, and the latter greeted back. "I heard that the Smashers were in town, so I just had to come over and see you guys! You guys are quite well-known, and I'm a fan of you folks!"
"Glad to meet a fan!" Diddy said to him. "But the others left already because they have business to attend to..."
"As long as I get to see at least one of you, I'm happy!" said Agent 4, and then he looked at the infirmary room Donkey was in. "One of your people is in there due to injuries from fighting that squirrel guy, right? I hope he recovers soon..."
"The doctor says he'll live, but it may take some time for him to get up," said Diddy. "I'm confident he will get better! Donkey isn't someone who can be taken down so easily!"
Meanwhile, a platform was floating in the air above the hospital. A person was standing on it, looking down at the building. "Alpha Zero's murderer is in there. I'm going to find and kill him in order to avenge Alpha Zero!" he angrily said. "The thought of people using underhanded methods to win fights enrages and disgusts me, so much that I want to throw up!"
Diddy and the Inklings were chatting when sudden they heard what sounded like an explosion.
They turned and saw that there was a hole created on the ceiling and another one on the wall. Something must've went through those parts at an angle.
"What the heck?!" said Agent 4 in shock.
The platform then entered the building through the hole on the ceiling, and the man on it stepped down.
The man had a long and almost rectangle-shaped face with green hair sticking up like the green part of a carrot. His attire was that of a stereotypical street punk, such as a black leather vest, torn jeans, etc.
Seeing Diddy, the man said, "You are one of those who defeated Alpha Zero using underhanded methods!"
"Who are you?" asked Diddy.
"The awesome dude who is going to kill you in order to avenge Alpha Zero, Vormus Junior!" replied the man. "The sight of seeing his killer right in front of me enrages me so much that I want to throw up!"
The man known as Vormus Jr. then behaved as if he was going to vomit, which confused Diddy and the Inklings. Vormus Jr. then opened his mouth and fired a thick laser beam that was yellowish-green in color in their direction.
The three tossed themselves to the side, while the beam went on ahead and destroyed everything in its path, even blowing a hole on the wall at the end of the hallway.
The three were shocked at what they saw. "Did he just shoot a laser beam out of his mouth?!" said Diddy in shock.
Agent 3 noticed yellowish-green liquid on the floor and certain parts of the wall. Looking at Vormus Jr., she saw him wiping his mouth, which had the same liquid on it.
It then dawned to her what the laser just now actually was.
It was not laser. It was actually vomit. Literal vomit.

Agent 4 is the male Inkling playable in Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is named after the protagonist of Splatoon 2's story mode.
Vormus Jr., Edge, Equestrina, Cindy, Arthropa, and Irene are my OCs.
Mark, Scar, Thunder, and Plonic are my OCs as well, and incredibly unique and creative ones at that. They are absolutely in no way ripoffs of or inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog in any way whatsoever. Plonic is also definitely not based on Blonic. Please get your facts straight.
