Chapter Six: Small Author Note
In this chapter there will be a lot of action, but not pointless smashing. I will actually detail the battles to the best of my ability without letting them get too bland. Just a word of caution, this chapter may get long, and I mean long. So get yourself a bagel and sit down for a good long read. But please enjoy.
The Smashers never trusted the Master Hand or the Crazy Hand for that matter (well because he was insane, but we all know that). But they really didn't trust the last Smasher to join the 'team'. He was a two-dimensional being name Mr. Game n' Watch. It was strange when they first met him. They swore he was 2-D, but as you turned to see his other sides, his body mysteriously turned as well. Even if four people stood at his sides and looked in his direction they couldn't tell the difference. Though he interacted with the environment as the third-dimensional being, he was clearly a 2-D person. But the Smashers had to admit, he was a worthy ally in the battle between the Master Hand and the Smashers. He helped them, in his own crazy way to defeat the Wire-Frames, a strange robot created by the Crazy Hand. So Mr. Game n' Watch was an invaluable ally in their battle. However it was Mario that ended up defeating the Master Hand and the Crazy Hand in the final battle in Final Destination (wow, who would have guessed). Yet, it was the battles in-between that truly proved the Smashers metal. Let's see them now by going into a very long flashback...flashback...flashback...flashback (fading).
(The flashback)
The Four Heroes
"3...2...1...GO!" boomed the announcer
Time seemed to slow as the combatants readied themselves to crush one another. Each one had fire burning in their eyes, determined to win. A moment later the four battlers kicked off from their positions in the well-lit, highly populated stadium in the world of Pokemon. Speaking of pokemon, one in particular, a certain electric mouse with a knack for making 'shocking' entrances started off with a dazzling display of lightening that entertained the masses, though unfortunately left the other fighters less than thrilled.
"Pika!" shrieked the electric mouse as he let his electricity do his dirty work.
However this didn't faze the mighty Smashers for long for they retaliated with equal force. One Smasher let his sword and shield do the talking, and with a spinning move that many refer to as the 'Whirling Blade' this swordsman hacked away at his opponents.
"Hyah!" he yelled, letting his strength be known
Though like before, this attack didn't keep the Smashers down. Now it was time for another to make his move. From out of his plushy body he created a sword of pure energy, feared across the lands as the 'Final Cutter Blade' and slashed down on his opponents, creating a sonic boom when he hit the ground. Next, the combatants were greeted by a flurry of small punches, slapping them into last Tuesday.
"Poyu!" the small warrior squealed, his personal battle-cry
The fourth Smasher was not to be out done. The hat that bore his first initial almost blazed with power. That power traveled to his fist, enlightening it with fiery and passion. He wound back, ready to smash whoever should be in his way, and then he let loose the power of his punch, burning all in contact.
"Ha, ha!" he yelled, proud of his fierce some attack.
This monstrous attack left a certain Hyrulian dazed for he blocked with his shield and the attack ended up breaking it. The other, lighter Smashers were sent a couple of feet away, lucky enough to be able to stand the attack. Now angered the electric mouse and the pink puffball agreed upon a temporary armistice. The leapt at the heroic plumber, and with a combination of a spinning electric tackle and a roundhouse kick they were able to knock the mustachio man for a loop. Then turning their attention to the weakened swordsman they pummeled him into the ground, before sending him on a one-way trip out of the stadium, or so they thought. At the last second this long-eared man caught himself in mid-air and watched for a moment as the mouse and puff looked at him high in the sky. They surmised that he would be out of the way for a few moments so they ended their ceasefire and resumed their smashing. A crooked tail made contact with the soft jaw of the pink puff and sent him back a couple feet. While he recovered the electric mouse dug his feet in the ground, charging himself for a hardheaded skull bash. The little pink man hopped to his feet, just to see the mouse launch himself toward him. But he was able to dodge in the knick of time, performing a small back flip to avoid the collision. And now that the pokemon was left wide open, the puffball had the chance to show him just how high this stadium was. Grabbing the electric rat the puff launched himself into the air, passing by the falling Hyrulian who decided to get a little payback by slashing down on the two, unsuspecting Smashers, but this didn't faze the pink kid for he continued his ascent into the air, still holding on tightly to his yellow victim. The puff came down just as quickly as before, to once again be greeted by a sharp sword, ignoring the pain and slamming the defenseless mouse into the unforgiving ground. On impact the yellow pokemon flew high into the air, spiraling like a rocket. But like the Smasher before him, the electric mouse caught himself before he was made a constellation. A little too preoccupied for almost sending the little yellow dude into orbit the pink Smasher didn't see the big brown boot from behind until he felt it's pounding force. The kick sent the poor kid into the path of the swordsman who struck out with a powerful sword swing, sending him back to the plumber who let out a powerful punch. This 'ping-pong' attack went on for quiet some time, as the two fighters grew closer to one another, bashing the puffball back and forth. That was until a certain pokemon, who was ticked decided to make his presence known. Jumping into the middle of this little game the mouse called upon the heavens to grant him strength. The two Smashers who had been using the puffball as a badminton ceased their attack, but it was far to late, they had no chance of avoid the blast. And the puffball knew that if that attack hit he'd be sent flying. Spinning ever so slightly he lightly kicked the electric mouse, causing it to move out of the way of the path of the bolt of lightening, thus drastically decreasing the power of the attack. However the elf boy happened to be closest to the mouse at this time and received a shocking blast from the lightening bolt. He flipped a couple feet into the air, expecting to land on a platform, but the large screen in the background indicated a change and he ended up landing on a rocky surface, on his back. Safe to say he'll need to speak with his chiropractor after this fight. As he tried to straighten his back, the plumber figure out why it's not a good idea to pull the tail of everything he throws. Now if there was one thing the electric mouse cared for deeply, more than life itself, it was his tail. And when somebody pulled it beyond its normal bending limit a certain thing 'snapped' in the mind of the electric mouse. When the plumber let the mouse fly, the little yellow pokemon used the pink puffball as a springboard to propel him back toward the triumphant plumber. Building up the electricity in its little body it hovered in the air for a split second before shooting off in the direction of the man with a red hat at an incredibly speed. The next thing this toadstool warrior knew he was being shocked by an almost invisible force. Then he felt four small paws grab hold of his shirt and overalls. Clearing his head from its dizzy state the princess protector met with a horrifying image. A devious smile had traveled across the face of the usually peaceful pokemon and electricity jumped from his back, almost wanting to escape the evil thoughts that ran through this rodent's mind. Using physical strength nobody knew he had he flipped the red wearing man on his back and let loose a couple thousand volts of pent up electrical energy. The force caused the Koopa Smasher to fly back, colliding with a well place rock, bouncing off into the air, and though not defeated, knew what it felt like to be a weather balloon. Content with his vengeance the 'dirty little rat' decided to go after the weakened Hero of Time. Well...he tried but strangely he felt himself go in the other direction. It wasn't until it was far to late to do anything did the little mouse realized he was about to become lunch to a very greedy puffball. Everything went dark...that was until he was sent out of the puffball, landing on his but, and ended up face-to-face with a dubious copycat. Electricity dance on the cheeks of the puffball and he sent the pokemon a taste of his own medicine. This medicine sent the poor thing back out of the arena. He was just barely able to hold on to the ledge, which was made harder when the stage morphed once again into a watery arena. Now wishing his electricity was able to conduct in this water the electric pokemon could only look on as the 'carbon' copy readied himself for another attack. But the fates must have been smiling on him today because a hard metal shield cracked through the yellow and pink puffball, not only ceasing the attack but also causing the little Star Warrior to lose his copied power. Given a chance the Pokeball hating mouse leapt back on the arena and pummeled the obsessive eater with a barrage of weak, but fast head-butts. Meanwhile a 'fallen' hero decided to mix it up with the sword-swinging elf. His powerful punches and kicks caught the tunic wearing boy off guard, forcing him to block here and there so to avoid a potentially devastating attack. And all while this happens a single item appears on the ground, in-between the two groups of fighters. Almost by instinct they here the item drop and turn to see what it could be. Their eyes widen when they see the item. Though it may be small in size, it is basically one of the most dangerous items in this tournament. The walking bomb, or Bob-bomb, as it is known idly sits, waiting for someone to scoop it up and use. The four fighters scramble over on another, trying desperately to grab the hazardous weapon before it decides to get up and walk away. Kicks, punches, sword swings, and tails kick up as each pushes against the other in the vain attempt to acquire the item. However in their scramble the Bob-bomb grows bored and decides to take a stroll. Unfortunately that stroll is in the path of the Smashers.
KA-BOOM!
Goes the Bob-bomb; its ferocious force blasting all in the vicinity...except for one. One Smasher who a clumsy plumber had stepped on had a footprint on his yellow little head in the scramble, and being forced down he saw the Bob-bomb rise and he quickly put up a shield, protecting himself from the imminent explosion. His shield evidently shattered, but he was far luckier than the other three who were sent on a one-way trip to meet the stars.
"PLAYERS DEFEATED!" boomed the announcer, his voice echoing throughout the stadium
However the small mouse didn't hear the announcer. He was still much to dizzy from his near explosive finish. Yet he did hear the audience cheer his name wildly after he cleared his head and looked around.
"PIKACHU, PIKACHU, PIKACHU, PIKACHU!" the audience roared
Their overwhelming praise was more than enough to send the little electric mouse into a victory dance. This dance didn't last long though, for now his brain's recognition popped on and he felt the fatigue his body had already endured. The little mouse fell over on his belly, curling up into a little ball so he could take a well-deserved nap while the audience continued to scream his name.
(End of flashback)
Did you like that flashback? Was it packed with action? Did it make you drool for more? Huh? Well sorry, you don't get any more...just kidding. You'll get plenty more, filled with your favorite Smashers in the most bone-crushing battles. So sit back, relax, and get ready to read the second installment. Or better yet, another flashback...flashback...flashback...flashback (fading).
(Another flashback)
Royalty vs. Royalty
You do not know how long these two have been waiting for this. The two pink wearing princesses were standing on the left side of the roof of one certain castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. Meanwhile their opponents stood on the right side, both glaring deviously at their 'prey'. But their 'prey' was not intimidated. As stated before, you DO NOT KNOW how long they have been waiting for this. The two princesses stared down their opponents, eager to (for a lack of a better use of words) bust a few skulls. These two had been the bane of their existence ever since the two princesses' had taken the thrown in their respective kingdoms. The Hyrule princess sneered at the Gerudo King, while the Mushroom princess glared at the Koopa King. The two princess's couldn't stand the fact that these to heathens would come and capture them, hold them against their will, and then have to wait until their heroes came along and defeated the two tyrants. It was getting old. Well not any more. This time they were going to personally give those two 'kings' (and they used the term very lightly) a piece of their blonde-haired minds. Oh...it was on. And if this hasn't shown you how much they want this battle then...YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! The battle between royalties was about to begin.
"3...2...1...GO!" boomed the announcer
Now the two kings expected the princess's to run and hide. They did run, but they didn't hide, and they ran in the direction of the two kings, a look of anger in their eyes. If my poor attempt at humor was augmented large signs would be floating above their heads, and said signs would say 'HATE' in big bold letters. The two tyrants were taken back by the speed at which the two princesses ran, and even more surprised when they made an attack. A combination of Din's Fire and a frying pan knocked the two heavyweights back a couple of feet. When they rose to their feet (which was rather quickly) they couldn't help but utter in unison
"That really hurt?"
"We're glad..." came the Mushroom princess
"Because we are not finished yet." finished the Hyrule one
Let's just say that the next barrage of attacks that were doled out were by the two females. However, after finally having enough of this abuse the two males struck back. The Koopa King's large head came forward quickly and his thick skull made contact with the soft belly of the Hyrulian princess. Air rushed violently from her lungs as he legs buckled and she feel to the ground. Meanwhile the Gerudo caught the Mushroom princess by the bootie as she tried to use her Peach Bomber. She was overly embarrassed and disgusted, and the Gerudo King felt a small twinge of guilt so he flung the light woman way, forcing her to crash into one of the towers of this famous castle.
"Don't be getting so touchy-feely with her. She's mine." his bruising partner ordered
The Gerudo King grunted a 'you-must-be-kidding' grunt before replying
"You have nothing to worry about."
One acknowledging grunt, and two Din's Fire's later the battle was back on.
SMACK! Was what was heard when the Hyrulian attacked. Her delicate hand made fast and harsh contact with the face of the Gerudo King. And for a second he wasn't sure if it was just a plain out attack or if she really meant to slap him for some unknown reason. But he didn't let the smack faze him. Pulling back he summoned up a small amount of dark energy and then launched a punch at her delicate cheek. She put her hands up in defense and the only thing he hit was a shield. On the other side of the castle roof a turtle dino tried his best to singe a certain princess. She jumped his attack and landed behind him, wanting to grab the Koopa King and throw him, but his tail had different plans. Though not really hurting her it did cause her to back away. Then he turned, reached out and grabbed the princess. His mouth opened wide and she got an up-close and personal view of what he had for lunch, and even saw a piece of spinach stuck between the many rows of his sharp teeth.
CRUNCH! Came the loud, sickening noise. The Gerudo King and the Hylian Princess both turned in shock after hearing the noise. The next thing they knew they saw the Mushroom Princess being hurled through the air. As she watched her teammate land abruptly on the roof, the Gerudo King took this opportunity to land a well-placed 'Warlock Punch' squarely into the jaw of the long eared princess.
BLAM! It was strange at first. On impact she felt no pain, just her body suddenly lifting in the air and something in her face. It wasn't until she was sent reeling did she actually feel the pain of the attack. Though not weakened enough to send her out of the arena, it was more than enough to stun her and send her a couple of feet beside the toadstool princess. Toadstool rose first and looked on as the two tyrants made their way over, ready to end this battle. Then she looked down to see the Hylian rubbing his head after sitting up. That's when Toadstool knew there was only one option. Though she was not trying to have a repeat performance with her hindquarters she launched herself anyway, calculating the exact time that they would jump over the main tower. True to her calculations they fell down at the exact moment her butt hit the wall, the following explosion (which I think involves a truck load of beans) engulfed the two kings, bouncing them off the wall and into the air. And to add more injury-to-injury she plunged her hands into the ground and pulled. Half expecting to get some sort of vegetable she was happy when she pulled out a Beam Sword. Lucky. As the two fools came crashing down she pulled back and powered up. Not noticing her attack, the Koopa King continued to fall aimlessly. However the Gerudo King performed a triple jump, narrowly avoiding a devastating slash from the peeved princess. The Koopa King bounced once, and in a desperate attempt to stay in the arena he dug his claws into the tiling of the roof, trying to take hold. He was barely able as he met the edge, the unforgiving ground a good many stories below him. She went to finish off the titanic titan but heard a loud yell. From the sky the Gerudo King plummeted, his foot, glowing with dark energies, waiting to smash her into the ground as if she were a mere insect. However the attack was agonizingly slow and she was able to sidestep the attack by simply bending back. He landed and quickly put up his shield, knowing she would try to take advantage of his miss. As he expected he felt a sudden jolt against his shield as she tried to use him as a tennis ball. However, he became foolish and kept his shield up while she pounded away at it. Growing irritated she grabbed him and flung him across the roof. He flew high in the air; higher than he expected. And while he hung in the air the princess ran over to his calculated landing spot to finish the job. Yet the loud yell that sprang forth from his lips indicated that he wasn't going to go down without a fight. Once again she saw the kick coming. And though a little faster than the earlier one she had plenty of time to retaliate with a driver. The attacks collided, canceling on another out, and leaving both combatants vulnerable for a moment.
"ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!" bellowed the Koopa King in a loud, deep throated, feral roar
The sheer force emanating from the roar was enough to make his opponent stumble back. However it wasn't the opponent he had been fighting earlier. Seeing that speed would most likely help her in this battle, the Hyrulian princess decided to 'change tactics.' Using her most special ability she had transformed herself into the tall, mysterious, lean, and fast sheika that so few knew off. This 'sheika' (the name of the clan that taught her) was completely different than the more calm and tranquil looking princess that many had grown to admire. Shoot, she wasn't even female anymore. But that was beside the point. This new figure whipped out a metal chain that dance around the turtle, bashing his body, and forcing him back. He raised his shield, so to cease any further punishment on his body. After her seemingly relentless attack the sheika pulled back his chain and as quick as lightening razor sharp needles appeared in his hands. Then with a quick flick of the wrist he sent the needles in the direction of the Tyrannical colossus. But to his dismay the spike-shelled dino had tucked his body into his shell and spun around at an accelerated rate. The spinning shell of spikes made contact with the razor sharp edges of the quick-witted warrior's needles, the attacks canceling one another out. Immediately the Koopa King went to retaliate but the ninja-like warrior simply vanished, leaving only a small explosion in her wake, an explosion that caused the lumbering behemoth some grief.
"Good grief." he replied, quoting a famous character from the 'Peanuts' comics
He was then greeted by a kick to the back of the head.
(Later)
"This can not be." boomed an irritated Gerudo
"I know what you mean. How are we being defeated by a couple of girls?" asked the dino king
Currently, the two tyrants had been back up to the edge of the arena by the two princesses. Their eyes squinted as they heard the two go on about machoness. Picking up nearby items (two Super Scopes to be exact) the girls went to finish the two kings off.
"Now girls...can't we, oh I don't know, talk about this?" asked the dino king as innocently as he could muster
"Yes please ladies, there is no need to get abusive. We can just sit down and talk about this." came the Gerudo king, back up his partner
However their pleas fell on deaf ears. Charging the Super Scopes to full power the two princess's said one last thing before firing.
"If you ever come to the castle with the intent of trying to take the thrown I'll turn you into turtle soup." came the toadstool princess calmly
"If you so much as get the idea of using your Tri-Force abilities to cause havoc, you have allot more to worry about than just Link." came the Hyrulian princess in calm demeanor
Then they fired.
"Sometimes...it doesn't pay to be a tyrant king." said the Koopa King
"I know exactly what you mean." replied the Gerudo King before the two balls of energy made contact with their intended targets and sent the two kings flying into oblivion
"Wow, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders." The hylian princess said
"I know what you mean. I feel great. I'm not even mad at them anymore." replied the mushroom princess
Then there was an awkward silence.
"Okay, maybe a little." came Peach, breaking the silence
"Yes, you are right." replied Zelda
(End of flashback)
So tell me. Did you like this one as well? Were you waiting for the day that the two princesses' would stop relying on Link and Mario to save them and fight back?
(Awkward silence)
Well I have. Aside from that, I hope you found the battle thrilling. And don't you worry more are soon to follow. See you soon on "The SSBM". Signing off.
Well that was chapter six. Sorry it took so long for me to update, I've had pressing schoolwork so it wasn't easy to finish such a long chapter. Now I have two questions for my faithful readers (cough, cough).
What characters would you like to see do battle? Give me some suggestions. I really need them.
And, if you've seen the animated show 'Teen Titans', (which you probably have) let me ask you, do you think the Titans (Robin, Starfire, BeastBoy, Raven, Cyborg, and Terra) would make good Smashers? Just give me your honest opinion. And thanks again for reading...please review.
