Here's chapter eight ya'll. Thanks for reviewing. Now get ready for some rip-snorting good times.
"Move!" yelled Fox, voice full of leadership
The three Smashers jumped out of the way, moments before the fist of Giga Bowser came crashing down. But even though he was big this did not mean Giga Bowser was slow. So with a crack of his primal tail he took out all three Smashers with a single move before they could even perform a double jump. Mr. Game 'n Watch was thrown into the air, Fox was thrown onto the left side wing, and Yoshi on the right. In blinding rage Giga Bowser ran toward Fox, ready to rip both the ship's wing and Fox to pieces.
"Mind telling me what the hell this thing is!" Fox yelled, narrowly avoiding a huge claw, and this time dodging the oncoming spiked tail.
"It's a Giga Bowser. I've never seen one, but I've heard stories!" Yoshi yelled back
"Mind sharing!" Fox yelled, dodging the crazy tail once again and landing a solid kick to Giga Bowser's face.
However the kick had barely any affect. It simply made the monstrous beast livid. The next thing Fox knew, a large fist connected squarely with this mid section, sending him in Yoshi's direction. Luckily for him he simply bounced and didn't go over the edge.
"I was told that when a spiked Koopa loses all control they become a Giga Bowser." Yoshi told Fox
But before anything else could be said, the insane beast trampled over to them, the want for blood fresh in his eyes. Fortunately for our two Smashers, a 2-D guardian angel came to their rescue. With a '6' indicating his strength Mr. Game 'n Watch pound the more than evil Koopa King with a large turtle. The evil creature swatted the annoying 2-D character like a fly, sending him on a one-way trip so he could join his fellow teammates.
"...!" came Mr. Game 'n Watch, who was cursing up a storm after being swatted so easily
Not really understanding him, but feeling his emotions Fox and Yoshi agreed.
"ROAR!" bellowed the beast, hungry for more
He was obliged with a couple of eggs, which had no damaging effect on him, but they did blind him momentarily with their bright fireworks, giving the three Smashers time to recuperate. Jumping toward the main engines they hid under the large stabilizing wing so they could come up with a plan.
"So, mind telling us how to stop that thing?" Fox asked, genuinely annoyed
"I don't know. I was only told what it was and what it wants." came Yoshi defensively
"Which is?"
"The crush us." Yoshi replied
"Ya think!" Fox practically yelled, then regretted it when he heard a deafening roar.
"It's a raging beast that only knows how to destroy and cause pain." Yoshi said
"Wow Yoshi, I would have never guess that." came Fox sarcastically
"(Beep, beep, beep, beep-boop!)" came Mr. Game 'n Watch, who had been hanging from the stabilizing wing as a lookout.
The two Smashers didn't need to understand him to know what was happening. The big sound of feet was all they needed. Mr. Game 'n Watch jumped down, obviously worried, pointing and babbling more than usual. Fox would have gone right along with him, but his courage stopped him. Damn courage. Meanwhile Yoshi seemed to be deep in thought. Now even though everyone though Yoshi was very absentminded, he was actually one of the most intelligent of the Smashers. Being that a Yoshi's big head does not equal a small brain. He was trying to remember what else he was told on that day.
"A Giga Bowser shows no fear." he thought
Well that was obvious.
"They don't have rational thoughts."
We could see that.
"They rely on the most basic primal instincts."
That was a big fat 'duh' Captain Obvious
"Their biggest weakness is..." he tried to think, but was ripped from his thoughts as Fox grabbed him and jumped away before Giga Bowser could make them smears under his large feet.
"Sorry for pulling you away from what I think was a very captivating daydream...but we got more pressing matters!" came Fox as they landed on the bottom left wing. Although Giga Bowser jumped on the wing as well, and due to his weight caused the entire ship to do a 360-degree barrel roll.
"Whoa!" they all yelled as they desperately tried to hang on.
After recovering they all tried to jump toward the top wing, but Mr. Game 'n Watch was grabbed by Giga Bowser and was about to become the monster's well-balanced breakfast. A shrilled beep rang through the air as Mr. Game 'n Watch stared into the jaws of defeat (pun intended). But Yoshi was not about to let his ally become a tasty snack. With a swing of his body, the hard head of Yoshi collided with the harder head of Giga Bowser. Yoshi swore he heard someone say "Sanctuary, Sanctuary!" as his head rung. The attack was enough to cause Giga Bowser to release Game 'n Watch, who promptly catapulted in the air with help from two other Game 'n Watch clones.
"My head." Yoshi moaned, unaware that Giga Bowser was looming over him
The monster opened his mouth, flames licking at his tongue (ironic), ready to make Yoshi a barbeque steak gone bad. But a few blasts of a laser gun put a damper on that.
"Hey, big, tall, and ugly! Why don't you come and get me you idiot!" he yelled
With a single movement Giga Bowser was high above Fox. And to that day Fox now knows why he shouldn't insult a creature that is a good twenty-times his own weight. All Fox saw was a big fat belly, and then complete darkness as immeasurable pain coursed through his body. He would have yelled, but all that bulk cut off any air that got the stupid idea to enter his lungs.
"BEEP!" Game 'n Watch yelled, which probably translated to "FOX!"
Game 'n Watch ran around frantically, trying to think of anything that could save Fox before his lungs collapsed. Then he saw it, a Party Ball on the ground. He swore to god that it contained what he thought it contained as he heave it at Giga Bowser. The Party Ball bounced off Giga Bowser's back, hardly making the creature flinch, before it floated in the air and started blinking. Time seemed to move much to slowly for the 2-D character as the ball blinked.
"Where'd everyone go?" Yoshi asked, recovering from his head trauma
The green dinosaur jumped up on top of the ship, scanning for battlers. He saw Game 'n Watch staring at Giga Bowser who was on his large belly. But he didn't see Fox. Did Fox get knocked out the ring? He should be so lucky. For Yoshi's face twisted to absolute horror when he saw Fox's hand wiggle from under the oppressive abdomen. Finally the Party Ball open and Game 'n Watch's prayers were answered as a half-dozen Bob-Bombs began to fall. One flaming sausage later all six Bob-Bombs exploded above the beast, raking its body in heat. It was blown clean off Fox, and off the ship for that matter, and what the Smashers thought, out the ring. Fox inhaled an unnatural amount of air into his being, groping for breath. At that moment he knew just how much he had taken oxygen for granted.
"Fox, are you okay?" Yoshi asked
Fox simple glared at him
"Sorry, had to ask." Yoshi said
"BEEP!" screamed Game 'n Watch.
The other two turned to see what was up and almost wet their selves. Giga Bowser had left the ring, but he wasn't KO'd. He literally leapt from a building and jumped back to the ship. Fox opened his communicator so fast that he was scared it might come off. Yelling into it he blurted out.
"90-degree turn!"
The GreatFox did as it was commanded and turned, just as Giga Bowser tried to land on the ship. But not to be deterred Giga Bowser jumped from another building, sailing through the air. Then Yoshi realized it. This was not an ordinary fight. The 'Hands' had cheated. This fight was meant to permanently put the three Smashers out of the running. And when I mean permanently, I mean permanently.
Time to end this." Yoshi said, scowling
Now a Yoshi is usually a very peaceful creature. But get one mad and it's a whole other story. Yoshi stood in front of his teammates, eyes radiating defiance to the overwhelming creature. Giga Bowser's head came down hard and Yoshi countered with his own.
KA-BLAM! Came Yoshi's and Giga Bowser's heads. And once again a reference from the Disney Movie "The Hunchback of Notre Damn" rang through the little Yoshi's head. Then Fox heard a crack. He wasn't sure whose head it was but when he saw Yoshi stumble back and fall over his heart stopped for a moment. Fox didn't know that he could radiate such power, but after seeing his little buddy fall the fire in his body burned brighter than anything known to man (exaggerating).
"RAAH!" he yelled as he powered up
Game 'n Watch couldn't believe what had happened. Yoshi had not only stood in the way of an attack, but also canceled it out. He had protected them from a certain hospital visit, if they should be so lucky. He literally sacrificed himself for their well-being. Something snapped inside his 2-D body and he leapt at the Koopa. A fist connected with the jaw of the monster, causing immense pain, but not causing the beast to fall back. Taking the hit Giga Bowser once again swiped the annoying character away. But this proved to be a bad idea as Fox finally charged himself to full. His body erupted into flames and his Fire Fox became a move of legends. Crashing head first into the belly of the beast (no pun intended) he forced it back with everything he could muster. Giga Bowser's eyes went blank as the pain roared through him. The fireball known as Fox kept pushing until he was at the edge, were he unfortunately ran out of power. He landed near the docking bay, staring up at hell itself. Giga Bowser simply cracked his neck and stared down at the small figure that had nearly defeated him. It Fox didn't have a strong bladder the janitors would have a mess to clean up. Giga Bowser licked his lips as if he were at a buffet table ready to dig in.
"So this is how it ends. Me getting eaten by an overgrown Bowser with serious mental problems." Fox sighed "Well, it's better than being eaten alive by the Teletubbies. (Damn them scare Teletubbies)."
The jaws of Death descended, ready for their meal, but were stopped when a certain Mr. Game 'n Watch jumped down and pummeled the dino with everything he had.
"Whoa...didn't know that little guy had it in him." Fox pondered
Mr. Game 'n Watch repeated smashed the overgrown dinosaur with punches, kicks, turtles, pans, hammers, buckets, and anything else he could pull from his body. Giga Bowser tried to swat the annoying character away, but Game 'n Watch wasn't having any of that. Dodging hand swipes he continued his merciless assault, pounding him into the dirt (or ship if you want to get technical.) Finally though Game 'n Watch's attack started to falter and Giga Bowser used this to his advantage. Using a devastating move known as the Freezing Spinning Fortress, he immobilized the little guy, a long with Fox. They were left helpless as Giga Bowser raised a fist, ready to squash them like a bug. When the fist came down the two thought it was all over, but once again Yoshi used his head (literally) and stopped the attack. Another crack was heard, but Yoshi ignored it and forced the fist upward so that it smacked Giga Bowser in the head. Slightly dazed Giga Bowser stumbled back until he was barely staying on the GreatFox. Now this was the chance they had been waiting for, but the three of them were too tired to do anything. Yoshi's head hurt, and it was a distinct possibility that he had a concussion; Fox used all his energy in that blitz attack, and Game 'n Watch could hardly move.
"What's that?" Yoshi asked
He saw an item drop down right in front of him. It was a fan. Nowhere near strong enough to take Giga Bowser down, as one would expect. But, in this situation any item would do. Yoshi picked it up and heaved it at Giga Bowser. The small item made contact with the evil incarnation and popped it in the air. The last thing they heard was Giga Bowser roaring as he fell to his doom.
"Yes, yes, yes! We did it! We won! We..." But his victory was short lived as he fainted
"Yoshi!" Fox grunted and struggled to get to his side.
When he did he quickly ran a scan to see if the little guy had any brain damage. Other than small cracks in his skull, cracks that could easily heal themselves, Yoshi was fine. He would just have to lay off with the fighting for a while. Fox then turned to Game 'n Watch who was heaving and hoeing nearby. Fox had just found a new respect for the strange being. Well, being saved from being Giga Bowser's breakfast of champions could do that to a person. Then Fox just stared into the clouds, waiting...waiting...waiting...
"Wait a minute!" he yelled, just realizing
Why should he be waiting? They won; they should have been teleported away from the arena...unless.
"RROOAARR!" came Giga Bowser as he leapt up to finish the three off.
Jigglypuff rolled out the way, moments before impact. She couldn't believe that her distraction with Kirby nearly caused her to lose the battle. Focusing back on the battle she saw Young Link knock both Luigi and Pichu into the air. Guess their little team-up was put to an end. Jigglypuff took this as her quo and rolled up into a ball, then shot off toward Young Link, who had no time to dodge and knew what it was like for a deer caught in the headlights.
POW! When she hit he was sent a few feet away, barely holding on to the ledge. Jigglypuff was ready to finish off Young Link but heard an Italian plumber. Just dodging a punch she rolled behind him, grabbed him, and then launched him into the air so that he could be reacquainted with the stars. However she couldn't dodge the small tail that decided to hit her. Popping into the air for a few feet she land on one of the floating platforms as Young Link recovered, ready to pop that balloon. Ignoring Pichu he went straight for Jigglypuff, slashing all the way. Caught off guard Jigglypuff stumbled back, desperately trying to dodge sword swings while the crazed Hyrulian attacked.
"Time for your nap little man." Jigglypuff said (and yes, she is older than Young Link)
The soft melody of Jigglypuff's sound wafted into the ears of the swords boy and he dozed off. Pichu collides with Young Link's back little seconds afterward, forcing him into a fallen Luigi. Jigglypuff tries to Pound him but Pichu uses the electricity stored in him to bolt behind her, dodging he attack. Then with a one moment jolts her with a bolt of electricity. Both are shocked, though Jigglypuff more than Pichu, and are dazed for the time being.
"It's a time to a end this." came Luigi and he flung the elf-boy toward the two dazed Smashers.
Young Link hit Pichu first, and then the two hit Jigglypuff herself, blind siding her and forcing her near the leg. Luckily Young Link's throw was softened by the two pokemon and he was saved a defeat. However less could be said for Pichu as he was knocked over the edge and to his doom.
"PLAYER DEFEATED!"
Luckily for Jigglypuff she had the natural ability for limited flight, yet another similarity to her and Kirby. But we're getting off track. She jumped up high, narrowly avoiding a large fist coming in her direction. It exploded on contact with Young Link, forcing him off the edge. But he wasn't going to be beaten. With his patented spin attack he jumped back on the arena, sword clenched in hand tightly. But his courage wavered slightly for he was dangerously close to the edge. Luigi charged...but then was stopped when a boomerang hit squarely between his eyes. Rubbing the sore spot he looked on as Young Link stuck his tongue out at him, chuckling at the plumber's misfortune. Once again Luigi tried to charge, but met with the same. Now he was really mad. Then before he could even do anything the boomerang once again hit him in the same place.
"Momma Mia! That a hurt." he cried
"Momma Mia! That a hurt." Young Link mocked
"Are you a mocking me?" Luigi asked
"Did you figure that out all by yourself?" Young Link asked mockingly
"That is a it little a kid, you are a going down." Luigi threatened
Young Link simply smirked, and Luigi had no clue. That was until he got a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see a Jigglypuff with a bat. With one, fateful swing she launched, firing the tall plumber into oblivion.
"PLAYER DEFEATED!"
Next thing that happened, happened so quick that if you had blinked you would have missed it. First the bat that Jigglypuff was holding was thrown at Young Link with the intent of knock him clean out, but Young Link had just fired an arrow just before the throw. Both weapons flew through the air, passing right by one another. At that moment two Bob-Bombs materialized in the air, one in front of the two fighters. If you put two and two together and get four you can only guess what happened.
BOOM! Both Smashers were thrown clean out of the ring at the exact same time. But because Jigglypuff's body was lighter than Young Links she was thrown a fraction of an inch faster, which caused her to lose first, proclaiming Young Link as the winner.
"I can't believe I lost!" whined Jigglypuff as she walked the halls of the SSBM mansion. (Yes they have a mansion). "Being light sucks sometimes." she humphed
Her spirits were down and she though nothing could cheer her back up.
"Hey Jigglypuff, I saw your fight. To bad you lost but you did great." came a familiar voice
Okay, maybe not anything.
"Kirby!" she squealed, running to him, enveloping him in a hug.
Kirby, not being the wiser hugged her back (like a good friend would) and said
"Do you want to join me for dinner? I'm real hungry but there's nobody around to talk to." he asked
"You want to talk to me?" she asked as if this was the first time he had asked her this question
"Yeah. It's no fun to eat when there's nobody to talk to, and besides you're fun to talk to." he replied
"Oh Kirby, I would love to. Let's go." she said, taking him by the arm and heading for the cafeteria.
She blasted down the hall, Kirby in tow, regarding anything in her way as an obstacle. It so happened that a couple of 'birds' were walking the halls at the moment. Well walking would be an understatement. Falco was chasing Captain Falcon down the hall for making a crack about "Do you taste like chicken?" Falco was ready to pound the cocky pilot into the dirt, but soon saw two pink puffs barreling down the hall. Safe to say those two became the obstacles in her path.
"WAAH!" they both yelled as they were knocked into completely different directions, never to be heard about more in this chapter
Samus was just opening the door of the bathroom, draped in so many towels that all you could she was her legs and her eyes. She watched as the two little puffballs scurried down the hall toward the cafeteria.
"Hey Samus, Jigglypuff's really hungry so we're going to the cafeteria, want to join us?" he asked hurriedly
"No, you two enjoy yourselves." Samus replied, but Jigglypuff had already turned the corner.
Then Samus heard the wail of a certain red wearing plumber and gorilla also leaving this chapter. Samus shook her head chuckling.
"Could they make it anymore obvious?" she asked herself before heading to her room
Well there's chapter 8 for you. Do you hate me for the cliffhanger with Fox, Yoshi, and Mr. Game 'n Watch. I hope you do because that's what I write for. But don't worry. The next chapter will tell you what happens. But if you want a hint I give you this. Yoshi scores a bull's-eye. That's all you get. You figure it out. Uh oh...the lawyer again. I hate when he sues me. Got to go. And remember, next chapter will feature Marth and Roy, so please review.
