Super Smash Bros adventures chapter 40
Mario, Link, and Pit are at a mission to help with Anju to catch the Cuccos again. The Cuccos are chasing after Mario and Pit, while Link is catching them one by one with his Hookshot and put them into bags. "That's all of them." says Link, counting all of the Cuccos.
"Yay." says Mario and Pit, as they fall down on the ground.
"I don't think we can move from all the running." says Mario, breathing heavily.
"Come on guys you need to help me take the Cuccos back to Anju." says Link, dragging some bags of Cuccos.
"Can we at least have a few minutes to lay down?" asks Pit, breathing as fast as Mario.
"Nope. Now lets get going so you can rest at the Smash mansion." replies Link.
So Mario and Pit slowly gets up and they head to Anju's house. "How did we let you talk us into this again, Link?" wonders Pit.
Mario, Link, and Pit arrived at Anju's house and put the Cuccos back in their cages. "Thank you so much for helping out again guys." thanked Anju, getting their reward.
"Mario almost died this time." says Link.
"There were about twenty Cuccos chasing after Me." says Mario. "Now I've experienced what it's like to almost die from Cuccos."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Here's the reward I promised you guys." says Anju.
Anju gives Mario, Link, and Pit an Orange Rupee. "Thank you." thanked Mario, Link and Pit.
"How are you and Zelda doing, Link?" asks Anju.
"It's going on great" happily replies Link. "Zelda and I have been dating for a while now. It seems that we're getting closer every time we date."
"I see wedding bells coming soon." says Pit, teasing Link.
Link starts blushing and punches Pit in the head. "Aww. I can't wait to see you and Zelda marry. I'll be there." says Anju, showing her support.
"Thanks, I'll tell you when." says Link. The Smash portal appeared. Mario, Link, and Pit wave bye to Anju and went in.
Mario, Link, and Pit arrived they notice the Smash mansion is destroyed. The windows are all shattered, doors are broken in halves, and everything else is turned into ruble . "No way." shockingly says Mario, looking around the destroyed mansion.
"What happened?" wonders Link, picking up the broken pieces of the mansion.
"And where's everyone?" wonders Pit.
Mario, Link, and Pit walk around the destroyed mansion and spotted Sakurai, covered in dirt and bruises. Mario helps Sakurai to get up. "Sakurai, what happened?" asks Mario.
"Hades from Pit's world took all of the Smashers to the Underworld." replies Sakurai, coughing out dust.
Pit turns really shocked. "Hades? I thought I've beat him?"
"It has to be Master and Crazy Hand." suggested Mario. "They have the ability to revive bosses from different worlds."
"Mario, Link, Pit, please go help all the Smashers." says Sakurai. Sakurai makes a Smash portal using his emergency Smash Portal wristband maker.
"That's amazing!" says Link, amazed of Sakurai's latest experiment.
"Didn't know that you have this kind of invention." says Pit, looking at the invention.
"I made it just incase something like this comes up." says Sakurai.
"We'll be right back." says Mario.
"We'll stop Hades once and for all." says Pit, cracking his knuckles.
Mario, Link, and Pit went into the Smash portal and arrived at the Underworld. Mario, Link, and Pit found the Smashers fighting the Underworld army. "Not just Hades is revived, but his Underworld minions too?" wonders Pit, looking around and finding all of Hade's creations.
"There are too many of them." says Link, looking around everywhere .
Mario looks around and found Luigi and Roy fighting together. Luigi and Roy are fighting some Monoeyes. Luigi took out some with his Air Karate Chops and Roy took out some of them with his flaming Dancing Blade attacks. Luigi took out more with his Luigi Cyclone and Roy took out the rest with his Blazer attack. "That's all of them." says Luigi, panting.
"Lets go help out the others." says Roy, getting ready to leave.
Luigi and Roy found Mario, Link, and Pit. "There you guys are." says Roy, putting his Sword in his sheath.
"We were worried sick." says Luigi.
"Sorry, we were on a mission." apologizes Mario.
"What's happening?" asks Link.
"Hades wants to take over all of our worlds." replies Luigi. "We're having a war with his Underworld army."
"Another war?" says Pit. "Does he know when to quit?" wonders Pit.
"Oh Pitty Pat."
"Who's that?" wonders Mario, looking around.
"It's Hades." replies Pit, clenching his fist.
"Where is he?" asks Luigi, as he starts shaking a lot .
"Oh, I don't want to show you myself just yet." replies Hades.
"Come on out Hades and fight!" yells Pit.
"Oh sorry, but I don't want to fight you this time, Pitty Pat." says Hades.
"What?" wonders Pit. "Then who do you want to fight?"
"Who I'm interested in fighting is, the Nintendo Mascot, Mario." says Hades, who's interested in the red Plumber.
Mario and the rest turn surprised and look at him. "Me?" wonders Mario, pointing at himself.
"Yes you, ." happily says Hades. "I have a lot of interest in fighting you. I've seen how you fought all of those strong bosses from different worlds, all of the Smashers here, and how you always save Pretty Palutena. It seems that you have a special connection with her."
Mario blushes and Link, Pit, Luigi, and Roy smile at him. "B-Because Palutena needed my help." says Mario. "Even a Goddess can't do everything by herself."
"What I mean is, you and Pretty Palutena are meant to be together." says Hades.
Mario turns even redder and Link, Pit, Luigi, and Roy nods in agreement with Hades. "We're not dating." says Mario. "We're just friends and Palutena deserves someone else."
"I don't think so." Hades doubts him. "I've seen you go on missions with Pretty Palutena a lot and you enjoy chatting with her. To me it looks like a date between you two and not just a normal mission. And I also think that Pretty Palutena likes you."
"Enough talk about me and Palutena!" angrily says Mario, clenching his fists.
Link, Pit, Luigi, Roy, and Hades turn surprised from Mario's response. "My Mario, I love how serious you look." says Hades. "Ok, enough talk about you and Pretty Palutena. I'll be coming to fight you soon so prepare yourself, Mario."
Hades voice slowly vanishes away. "Hades!" angrily says Mario
Mario looks around at the ring of Underworld fiends that have encircled him and his friends. They have to beat them all somehow.
Roy hefts his sword, Pit raises his twin blades, and the other Smashers ready their weapons, and the fighting begins again.
Mario runs and stomps enemies. Occasionally, the glint of a sword or a flash of fire or lightning will distract him, but he keeps fighting, as does everyone else. The plumber feels like a dot in the sea of enemies, and the confusion continues around him.
He sees the glint of spells, hears the cries of the injured, and feels his energy lessen with each attack.
"This… would be so much easier with… a Smash Ball!" Mario pants, dodging away from a monster's claws and destroying it with a flaming fist. "I can beat them with my raging flames."
Mario, Luigi, Roy, Link, and Pit continue fighting and eventually regroup with the other Smashers.
"Where were you guys?" grumbles Bowser, spinning in his shell and slamming through a line of enemies.
"Me, Link, and Pit were doing a mission." Mario explains.
"Well while you three were gone, Hades attacked from out of nowhere." says Dark Pit, slashing at a skeleton monster.
"How long were you guys fighting for?" asks Link, lighting a bomb. He throws it in the middle of a group of enemies, scattering them
"Not much longer…" Little Mac says between gasps of air. "We knock them down and they just keep coming for more."
"There's got to be something we can do!" Pit says, gripping his bow.
Monsters and skeleton creatures advance closer, only feet from them. The Smashers have given it their all, but nothing seems to work. They are ready to make their last stand in the ruins of the underworld.
Suddenly, the ground shakes violently. Mario shields his eyes, but sees what looks like a rainbow fireball flash onto the scene. Then, he hears a familiar voice, and gasps with relief.
"Watch this!"
Mario only has time to think 'Palutena?' before the goddess activates the full extent of her power.
"Black hole!"
A massive, shadowy vortex rips through the space all around them. The wind tears through the air, pulling fiends and skeletons into the portal's depths.
"Mega Laser!"
Palutena then fires a massive white beam of light energy, demolishing the remains of the underworld army, blasting the monsters to atoms until not one soldier lingers.
Everyone stares in silence as the Smash glow fades from Palutena's body, then Mario speaks. "Palutena! That was-"
The goddess falls from the sky and in just a nick of time, Mario caught her before she falls on the ground. "Are you ok?" he asks.
"I guess I used all of my power." replies Palutena, turning to Pit. "Pit, you have to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and fight Hades."
"But, Lady Palutena, I'm not fighting this time." says Pit. "Hades wants to fight Mario."
Every Smasher turn surprised and talks to one another. "That's crazy! I know you're strong Mario, but a human can't fight Hades!" says Palutena.
"I thought it's crazy to fight Hades too, but I must do it." says Mario. He looks around at his injured friends and the destroyed world. He'd have to do this… for them.
"Mario, you're fighting the master of the Underworld." says Peach, wringing her hands nervously.
"I know that. Hades wants a fight? I'll give him a fight." Mario declares, hands balled into fists.
"Here Mario. Hades is huge so you need these Giga Mushrooms." says Luigi, giving the powerful fungi to him.
"Give that Hades a whooping and lets all go back home and celebrate." says Charizard.
"I know that we're not good friends, but show him what made you the Super Mario I know." says Bowser.
"Thanks guys." says Mario. "With you behind me, I can't lose!"
Suddenly the ground trembles again. A giant man with green and red hair, red, purple, and orange marks around his body, with a devilish smile appeared. "Oh, , I'm ready to fight." says Hades.
Hades looks around and spotted some familiar faces. "Pitty Pat, Pretty Palutena, Darky Pat, it's so good to see you again."
"Hades, leave Mario out of this." says Palutena.
"I can't let you do that, Pretty Palutena." Hades refusing Palutena's request. "I'm only interested in your boyfriend."
Mario and Palutena turn red at the same time and look away from each other. "He's not my boyfriend." angrily says Palutena.
"Sure he isn't." says a group of Smashers, teasing Palutena.
"You guys stay out of it." angrily says Palutena.
"Oh yeah, then, why is Mario holding you like a bride?" wonders Hades, pointing at them.
Mario and Palutena turn even redder. "I just saved Palutena from hitting the ground after using all of her power." says Mario, helping Palutena to get on her feet.
"Righhhht." says another group of Smashers, nodding their head up and down.
"It's the truth!" exclaims Mario.
"Instead of Mario, how about you fight me and Pit?" suggested Dark Pit.
"I would, but I want to fight Mario because he has an unknown power that even he never uses." says Hades.
"An unknown power?" says Mario. "What are you talking about?"
"I don't even know either." replies Hades. "That's why I want to fight you."
"You're not fighting Mario!" exclaims Palutena, getting her staff and shield ready.
"I'm not going to fight you either, Lady Palutena." says Hades.
"Palutena, let me fight Hades." says Mario. "You have almost no power to fight and I must learn this unknown power that he's talking about. He's also the one who challenged me to fight."
Palutena is worried about one of the people that's important to her and can't just let him go alone. "Are you sure, Mario?"
"It'll be all right." says Marth.
"Mario beaten all of us before and beaten both Master and Crazy Hand before." says Fox.
"Let him fight, Lady Palutena." says Pit. "I'm sure Mario can beat him."
It's hard for her to let Mario to fight Hades all on his own, but since everyone has so a lot of fate on, she lets him. "All right then." says Palutena.
"Good answer, Pretty Palutena." says Hades.
"Ok then. But can we go somewhere else?" asks Mario.
"Oh you want to go somewhere to prevent your friends from getting hurt? Ok then, follow me." Hades creates a portal of darkness and vanishes through.
Mario takes a deep breath and is about to follow when Palutena grabs his arm. "Mario, please be careful." she says.
Mario smiles. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Palutena lets go of Mario and Mario follows Hades through the portal. "So, now what?" Luigi asks.
Robin trains an ear on the shuffling sounds around him. The underworld minions have recovered from Palutena's final smash and are out for revenge. "We have more fighting to do," the tactician says.
All of the Smashers got their weapons ready and another battle begins for them.
