MARIO THE FUGITIVE

CH 6: BATTLE OF JUSTICE


"Okay, guys," says Link. "On the count of three, we'll jump out and attack. One ...two...three!"

Link, Samus, and Mario run out of the door and jump down. Link puts his sword in front of him. Ganon pulls out his(very cool) sword and does the same. Both swords meet with a clanging noise. Sparks fly form the two swords, both warriors trying to push the other back.

"I don't have time for you, boy! I'm here to destroy Mario!" Ganon says.

"Mario did not do anything! It was Baby Bowser as Shadow Mario!"

"Yeah right! I know what I saw!" Ganon says and his sword glows with dark energy. Link is push to the ground.

"Looks like Ganon's being his resilient self." Samus says, helping Link up. She charges the power beam and fires at Ganon. He knocks it away and continues walking forward. Samus starts firing missiles over and over. Ganon puts up a purple bubble-like shield and the missiles explode on it. Ganon clenches his fist and the shield expands(Chaos Blast style, via Shadow the Hedgehog), blowing away the warriors a few feet. They all get up, badly hurt.

We're gonna lose, thinks Link.

I'm gonna die, thinks Mario.

He's...he's too powerful, thinks Samus.

Link pulls out a light arrow and fires it at Ganondorf, connecting with is forehead. "AAraargh!" he screams. His forehead shines with yellow energy.

"Everyone, let's go!" Link says. The group, including Prof. Delfino and the chief run outside the forest and into Hyrule Field. They all stop running after a few minutes to catch their breaths. After a few seconds there is an earthquake and a huge humanoid, pig like giant bursts through the hole leading to the forest. Ganondorf has transformed into GANON, his giant form.

"Oh-a no!" Mario yells.

"Don't worry, Mario," Link says. "The Master Sword can defeat Ganon, even in this form. I didn't have it the last time I fought this form, so it should be easier."

Mario trembled, hoping what Link said was true.

The ground shook as Ganon stomped towards the trio of heroes, two swords in hand. His pupil-less eyes concentrating on Mario. He disputed inside of him what he would do to Mario, destroy him slowly or quickly. He thought of what Mario did to him, and how stupid he looked. This only made him even more angry, and he began to stomp more quickly.

Link charged at Ganon, his sword and shield out. He swung his sword at Ganon, but Ganon defended with his arm, making a steel like sound as the Master Sword hit it. Ganon forced his arm on Link, knocking him away like a tiny fly.

Samus charged, and fires two missiles, both of them left trails of smoke and they rushed toward Ganon like hungry mosquitoes. There was an explosion and when the smoke cleared, Ganon was unharmed and continued his venture toward Mario. Samus moved out of his way as he would not stop, even if it meant trampling over her.

Mario quivered with fear. Ganon was directly in front of him. He stared coldly at Mario, put down one sword and reached a gigantic hand toward Mario. Mario was frozen in fear. He mustered enough courage to press the shield button. Ganon grabbed the bubble-like shield, and Mario was forced to stare at the enormous palm of the dark-colored hand as the monster squeezed the shield. Mario prepared for his demise. He placed his hands over his eyes.

The squeezing stopped. Mario removed his hands. Ganon's huge palm was still all that was visible. Mario pressed the shield button and the shield disappeared. Mario moved out of the way as the large arm reached for the ground. Mario looked as he saw Link holding the Master Sword's hilt. It was impaled in the left side of the monster's chest. Blood dripped to the ground. Ganon began to fall toward the ground. Link removed the sword from the monster before it hit the ground. It shrunk back to it's Gerudo form.

"Whew.." Mario said, whiping the sweat from his forehead with his gloved hand. "I can't thank-a you enough, Link."

Link put his sword and shield away. "Don't mention it, Mario."

"Let's get this guy to my ship," Samus said. "We can keep him in suspended animation until we figure out what to do with him."


In Samus' ship, the three placed him into a pod and his body glowed a purple light. He was frozen.

"We've got to find Baby Bowser," Prof. Delfino said. "Who knows what experiments he will concoct with the prototype."

"Right." said Samus. "I'll search for him with my radar."

She presses a button and the computer screen turns green. A dot appears.

"That's him." Samus said. "He's headed toward a large tower. Must be his base."

"Okay guys. It's up to us to stop him!" Link said, looking quite heroic. Deep inside, he couldn't believe he was speaking of a very small turtle/dinosaur. "There are other Smashers out there that don't know the truth yet, and they're bound to cross our path, so be ready to battle if necessary."

With that, Samus made the ship take off. Samus, a space bounty hunter who has faced the most menacing of creatures, Link, a time-traveling warrior that has faced many evil, powerful foes, and used many items, and Mario, a hero/doctor/plumber who has faced the evil Bowser many times, among other evil villains, all headed toward the base of a small toddler sized dinosaur. This seemed a pretty easy feat for them. How hard could it be?
