Man of steel
"Alright, bring it on!" Marth yelled. He charged at Mr. 1 and slashed at him multiple times with Mr. 1 just standing there, taking each hit. When Marth was finished, Marth looked at Mr. 1, seeing absolutely no scratch on him. "Huh?"
"I told you, my dice dice fruit powers make my body as hard as steel. You'll never cut it with a blade." Mr. 1 said.
"So if I can defeat you… I'll be a swordsman that can cut steel." Marth said. "Alright then. Here I go!" Marth said confidently. Marth charged forward. "If I try and attack with the tip of my blade, I should be able to lay a mark on him." Marth kept his distance and began making slashes with the tip of his sword, Marth finished his combo by dashing past Mr. 1 and slashing at his waist. "What!" Marth turned around to look and see the damage he did. Mr. 1 turned around and there was not a single scratch on him. "No way!"
"Now it's my turn to attack you." Mr. 1 made blades appear on the soles of his feet and skated forward like he would on ice skates. Mr. 1 spread his fingers out on both hands and changed them in to blades. Mr. 1 swung his hands and Marth blocked, however Mr. 1 was pushing Marth backward despite the stance Marth was making and eventually pushed him in to an old wall. Mr. 1 swung his hands and jumped backward. To Marth's surprise, Mr. 1's slash actually caused the bricks in the wall to fall apart and collapse on top of Marth. "I guess that ends that battle." Suddenly the bricks started to stir, and to Mr. 1's surprise, Marth pushed out of the pile of bricks. "How did you survive that?" Mr. 1 asked.
"I'm full of surprises like that." Marth said. "Now where were we?" Marth asked.
"Right here!" Mr. 1 said skating forward having turned part of his forearms in to a larger blade. Marth and Mr. 1 began to sword fight each other. Mr. 1 did a cross slash with his arms that Marth spun backward to avoid. Marth tried to thrust forward, but the blow did absolutely nothing. Mr. 1 made a countless number of horizontal slashes at Marth that Marth had a hard time blocking. Marth then tried a combo of vertical slashes to counter this and the two seemed to be going even for a while.
"Had enough?" Marth asked.
"You should ask." Mr. 1 retorted. The two of them once again resumed their high-speed swords fight. Neither of the two were giving up, Marth swung high, Mr. 1 ducked and swung low while Marth leaped over the attack. Marth tried to counter this with a jumping slash that Mr. 1 blocked with his other arm, hoping to get an opening to attack Marth. Naturally Marth didn't give him the opening, Marth back flipped out of the way and quickly ran up and did a sword dance combo. The final attack sent Mr. 1 in to the air, Marth leaped up and did a downward aerial slash that sent Mr. 1 flying downward and slamming on to the ground.
"Yes! That got him for sure." Marth cheered. To his horror, Mr. 1 stood back up completely unscathed. "What! There's no way he could have possibly not taken a single scratch!" Marth gaped.
"I already told you, you can't beat me! Now it's time to die!" Mr. 1 said. He made a row of saw blades along the length of his forearms, the blades began to spin around and around, Mr. 1 then skated forward and attempted to cut Marth with the saw blades. Marth raised his sword to block the attack. The grinding of the saw blades against the sword sent sparks flying.
"Agh! The sparks!" The sparks were sent flying in to Marth's face, he finally couldn't take the burning sting anymore and backed away. Mr. 1 took advantage of this to cut through his stomach. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Blood and gore was sent flying from the cuts Marth was receiving from the saw blades. Mr. 1 finished off the attack by making a forearm blade and slashing Marth across the stomach one last time. Marth fell backward, covered with blood and gore.
"Hmph… too easy." Mr. 1 said as he turned around and started to walk away. Marth's hand started to twitch. Mr. 1 turned around and saw this. "What? He's still alive? After losing so much blood?"
"I… won't… give up…" Marth tied his cape around his wound to slow down the bleeding. Marth swung his sword in a fashion that sent sand flying up in front of him and clouding Mr. 1's vision.
"What the…? Where'd he go?" Mr. 1 asked. Unknown to him, Marth was standing on top of a pillar a few feet behind him. Marth leaped in to the air, as he fell he began to charge his sword. "What?"
"SHEILD BREAKER!" Marth performed his most powerful vertical slash that slashed Mr. 1 down the chest and stomach.
"Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!" Mr. 1 yelled. Marth's shield breaker was powerful enough to leave a gash down Mr. 1's body. Mr. 1 collapsed on to the ground and didn't get back up for several minutes.
"That… was… pain…ful…" Marth tried to walk back toward the lever. However Marth collapsed a few feet away from the switch.
"Marth… Marth? Where are you?" Came Sheik's voice. Sheik was still limping weakly with her arms dangling by her side. "Marth!" Sheik shouted. Sheik seemed to get a sudden surge in energy when she saw Marth collapsed in a bloody mess. "Marth. Drink this. It'll help." Sheik pulled out her last bottle of red potion and gave it to Marth.
"Uuuhh… Sheik?" Marth asked groggily. Marth stood up weakly, since the wound didn't completely heal. "What happened to you?" Marth asked, noticing how feeble Sheik was.
"Never mind… help me pull this switch." Sheik said as she started to pull on the lever. Being previously weakened, Sheik was only able to move the switch centimeter by centimeter.
"Here." Marth helped Sheik pulled the switch. "Well, hopefully the others have pulled their switches." Marth said.
"Yeah… let's hope…" Sheik said. The two would have supported each other, but they were both too weak to help each other out.
Meanwhile…
Since the fights were all taking place at roughly the same time, the four locks on the door began to stir. Each lock opened up one by one. And just in time, a hover car pulled up. The hover car had Justy in the driver's seat. Yoshi was in the back seat guzzling down his fifth barrel of water and a number of bandages over his battle wounds.
"That's weird… the door's opening." Justy said. Yoshi stood up with a confident look in his face. "Yoshi!" Yoshi said. He then wrote on a piece of paper. "I'm GoiNg AloNe."
"Are you sure?" Justy asked." Yoshi nodded. "Alright."
"Yoshi!" Yoshi ran inside and stepped on a tile that caused the door to close back. The other smashers suddenly arrived and noticed the door closing.
"Hey! It's… what happened to you guys?" Justy asked. Noticing that Bowser was burnt, Jigglypuff was also partially burnt, Ness was really bruised, Pikachu was scratched, Snake had quite a few cuts and bruises, and you know how bad of shape Sheik and Marth are in.
"Was that Yoshi going inside?" Bowser asked.
"When did he get here?" Sheik asked.
"Jigglypuff?"
"Yeah… did he go alone?" Ness asked.
"Yeah…" Justy answered.
"After all of that work, Yoshi went alone!" Snake shouted out of frustration. "Augh!"
Inside the ruin…
"Haunter!"
"Shuppet!" Two ghost type Pokemon descended down upon Crocodile and his hostage mayor.
"Heh…" Crocodile let out a stream of sand that caused the two pokemon to disappear. The two of them finally arrived in a room that had a lot of writing on the walls.
"What does it say? I know that you know how to read this." Crocodile said. The mayor looked at the walls for a minute.
"A great evil once unleashed the power of the black rune… havoc was cast upon the world until it was stopped by… oh that part's too worn out… ummm… we lay here a piece of the cursed stone and hope that if anyone finds it… they will not use it to unleash evil ever again…" The mayor read.
"So… where is it?" Crocodile demanded.
"I guess it's not here anymore… someone's already claimed it…" The mayor answered.
"That can't be!" Crocodile yelled angrily. "I'll tear this place apart and find the black rune here myself!" Crocodile yelled.
"YOSHI!"
"What?" Crocodile turned around and saw Yoshi standing at the entrance to the chamber. "You're still alive?" Crocodile asked.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…" Yoshi growled.
"Fine… first I'll take care of you. And this time… I'll make sure you stay dead." Crocodile said sinisterly.
