Chapter 40: The beginning

The eleven fighters were clashing against The Master with all of their strength. It finally seemed like the tables had turned on the Master and victory was in hand. If it wasn't for the effects of the Seal of Smash beginning to show. All ready they were beginning to slow down and The Master was easily able to avoid their attacks. As each of the fighters gasped for air The Master cut them across the torso with the N-Sword.

"And this is how it ends." He laughed. "Now you need a miracle to win this fight." The Master fell to his knees. "No how am I equal to these weaklings?"

Jigglypuff smiled. "My Weapon of Heart is taking effect." Across The Master's chest were several black marks that looked like spider legs. "It has been taking away your strength since the beginning of the battle."

"I see." The Master responded. He stretched out his hand and dropped the Smash Crystal on the ground. "It was because of that jewel I couldn't feel myself getting weaker." The Master suddenly went pale. "This isn't over yet, in fact this is only the beginning. I will return."

"I've prepared you for what comes next," Master Hand said. "Now end this"

Link drew the Master Sword and looked at the ghostly energy followed by looking at Master Hand. "Do not hesitate," He told Link. "I'm glad that you have seen my true form." Link then stabbed the Master Sword through the energy. Master Hand began to disintegrate in front of Link. "Thank you," He said. "I'd rather choose death then continue letting that monster use my body like that." Eventually everything was dark and the only thing left was Link who was floating in the black void. He then collapsed.

The 11 other fighters stared at The Master as he clutched his chest. He collapsed onto the floor revealing The Master Sword that had stabbed him in the heart. Slowly he began to glow with a bright white light that consumed the room and blinded everyone for a few seconds. When they had regained their sight they saw that Link was on the ground, but for some reason he was smaller. They didn't have time to inquire why because the ground began to shake. "The Master is planning on taking us with him!" Samus shouted. "This planet will self destruct!" She then mumbled something very softly. Pikachu swore he heard "Why does this always happen to me?"

The roof of the room began to disintegrate revealing the sky outside and the Great Fox flying towards them.

Fox ran to Link and picked him up while Pikachu rushed for the Smash Crystal. They each jumped onto The Great Fox from where a wall used to be.

"Its over," Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and completely disregarded The Master's warning of him returning.

They entered the cockpit of the Great Fox and there Falco was piloting the ship. Pikachu handed the Smash Crystal and shard to Sui. She fused together the last part to reveal that there was still one shard missing from the crystal. "I'm sorry," Pikachu apologized.

"Don't apologize." Tei said "the Crystal is safer this way."

Link moaned waking up. "What a nice nap…" He said happily. He then looked around in a rather confused state. He jumped up and drew his sword. "Who are you people what do you want?"

"He's finally awake." Fox breathed a sigh of relief. "But it seems that he lost his memory." Everyone looked at Link. "Hey where's Ganondorf?" Fox asked realizing that he wasn't in attendance.

Sui, Tei, Rai and Falco just looked grimly upon Fox. They then began to explain everything.

They were fighting against the Polygons, and just like their predictions there was an unlimited amount of them. And they were each growing stronger by the second. The five warriors had been forced back to the Great Fox where Peppy, Slippy and Krystal came out on Arwings shooting the Polygons. However much to their dismay the Polygons began to mutate and became Polygon versions of the Arwings.

"This is getting too frustrating!" Ganondorf shouted out after cleaving off several 'heads' of the Polygons.

Rai, Tei and Sui were also fighting with swords. Rai's sword sparked with electricity and anything he cut through had several thousand volts go through it. Sui's sword glistened in the sunlight as she cut through her opponents, each of them turning into a block of ice and shattering on the ground. While Tei's sword raged with fire each Polygon he cut was burnt into ashes.

"ROB start up the Great Fox!" Falco shouted into his communicator. "We have no other choice but to escape." Falco said retreating.

"I'm sorry," Ganondorf responded. "But I'm not fleeing," Falco nodded understanding. Rai, Sui and Tei ran onto the Great Fox as it took off. They watched from above as Ganondorf faced the entire army and then went berserk taking out a large amount of Polygons.

"I see," Fox responded. "Our next concern should be restoring Link's memory."

"Ahem!" Someone coughed. Everyone looked towards the orgin to see Captain Beta standing at the entrance of the room. "Here's the deal," He said. "The Government has decided to drop all charges on the conditions that you return to your home planets and forget all of this ever happened. Star Fox you will be restricted and unable to fly to any of the planets that they are from, save for Mute City."

"Sorry," Fox replied. "But I can't abide by your rules."

"Fox we are surrounded by hundreds of government ships I suggest you reconsider." Falco said glancing at the radar.

"Your not exactly in any position to bargain." Captain Beta responded. He just noticed three swords at his neck, one red, one blue, and one yellow.

"We can say the same for you." Tei responded.

"Here are our terms, agree to them or else."

To be continued…

Don't worry its only an epilogue! On a small side note this has got to be the smallest chapter I've done yet…
