Chapter 5- Island Gaiden
Mario slowly got to his feet and rubbed his back.
"Oooh. That was a rough landing."
Falcon walked over to him also in pain from the fall, along with Nana. Falcon pointed toward the far away cliff.
"I think I saw Snake fall towards there," Falcon said.
"Let's a-go!" exclaimed Mario.
The three ran toward the cliff, where they saw a huge explosion, and fire ravaged the cliff. The three looked on in terror as a body dropped over the side of the cliff. Falcon dashed as fast as he could and caught the body.
It was Kirby.
Zelda sat in her room at the castle staring at the ceiling while Peach did her nails. She turned to look over at Peach and open her mouth to speak, but then turned away. Eirika entered the room, finally in regular clothes, not her armor.
"Do any of you guys know where Marth is?" she asked.
Zelda took her eyes away from the ceiling and looked at Eirika.
"Probably visiting Samus. By the way, don't you have to check on her Peach?" Zelda said.
"Yeah, it's time," Peach said, and the two girls left.
Zelda figured it was no use lying around, it was time to go confront Pit. She went down the hall into the living room and saw Pit eating an apple in the kitchen. She approached him and he ignored her.
"Pit, I….."
Zelda was cut off by the sound of a loud explosion slamming into the side of the living room wall. Koopa stormed in, guns in hand and began firing. Zelda and Pit dove behind the dining room table. Pit flipped over the table to use it a cover and started barraging the invaders with arrows.
Marth and Eirika ran down the hall, hacking the koopa in their way while Zelda turned into Sheik. Metaknight leaped into action by whirlwinding into the enemy. Ninja was killing koopa left and right. It was a war zone.
Luigi, Lucas and Game and Watch ran through the hallway and saw the commotion. A rocket propelled missile exploded above them.
"Oh no, the mansion's been attacked!" Lucas said.
"No a-shit," Luigi said, "Let's get out of here."
The trio dove into another room as a bullet whizzed over their head.
"Eirika, Metaknight, everyone, clear out!" Marth exclaimed.
Marth's sword glowed white as he sliced through the crowd of koopa in a hellfire of power.
"Final Smash, Critical Hit!"
The ranks were ravaged and Marth had killed just about all of them, but still more ran in. They fired a barrage of shots, and Marth took one to the chest. Metaknight leaped over and got him to safety while Sheik, Eirika and Ninja took out the reinforcements.
"I'm going to get you out Marth, let's go," Metaknight said.
He dragged Marth out of the battle and into the infirmary.
"W-what's going on out there?" Peach asked.
"We're being invaded, load him, Samus, and Falco on to Falcon's ship, we're getting out of here," Metaknight said.
Peach and Fox nodded and began preparing the ship. Metaknight ran back into the battle, apparently not at a good time. There was a loud crash behind him and a giant armored vehicle broke in through the wall behind him.
It was designed to look like Bowser as it had his face on the front and his shell on the top. Then the shell opened up to reveal a cannon, which fired a massive shot at the floor, which collapsed beneath the smashers.
Zelda hit the ground below her as she saw all the rubble falling above her. She didn't even know what was going on. And she certainly didn't know there was a giant piece of floor about to kill her. The rock exploded in mid-air, she was alive. Pit put away his bow and flew up back to the battle. Zelda couldn't help but admire.
"I'll distract it, you take it out!" Pit screamed to Metaknight, "Final Smash, Palutena's Army!"
A dozen small winged warriors attacked the tank, the koopas manning its machine guns trying to keep up. In the commotion, Metaknight snuck in the back through a door. There was an engine a very small corridor that led to where the koopas manning the turret were. He ignored them and went for the engine. He hacked, he hacked, and hacked away again but nothing would happen.
"Damn, looks like I'll have to use my final smash," Metaknight said.
Outside Pit's angels had taken out a several turrets before the last solider was killed. Pit was against the entire tank now, he needed Metaknight to pull through. Then he heard it.
"Final Smash: Galaxia Darkness!"
And the entire tank exploded before his eyes. The floor on the side of the room they were on then fell through as well. Underneath, Luigi, Lucas, and Game and Watch scrambled for cover.
"Oh no-a!" Luigi cried.
"Run for it!" Lucas screamed hysterically as the trio bolted away.
One piece of rubble slammed into Luigi and rolled on top of him.
"Luigi! I'll help you, just stay there," Lucas said.
Lucas lifted the boulder over with his PK and helped Luigi up. Game and Watch poked Lucas on the shoulder.
"What Game and Watch?" Lucas asked.
Game and Watch pointed to the soldiers advancing towards them, guns in hand. One koopa fired, only to have his face meet Game and Watch's patented Digital Pan in his face. Lucas shot several PK Fires into the crowd before putting Luigi on his back and running.
"Go, go, go!" Lucas said as they ran.
"Let's a-go the a-dock," Luigi stammered, "We'll probably escape from there."
The trio turned and head towards the dock.
Meanwhile, Metaknight and Pit rejoined Sheik, Ninja, and Eirika battling the reinforcements. The remaining koopa were being killed off, but the smashers were getting weaker. Eirika had broken her left arm, Sheik was burned in multiple places, and Ninja was running out of power.
Then, Ganondorf entered the castle, along with Vaati.
"Ha, your foolish friends with Crazy Hand have fallen into my trap. Now, you have left vulnerable my most valuable prize, Eirika," Ganondorf said.
The smashers looked at Eirika, who retreated behind the others.
"What do you want with Eirika?" Shiek asked.
"I'm not dumb enough to tell you," Ganondorf stated, "Vaati, will you do the honors?"
"Certainly, master."
Vaati threw an orb at the ground, creating some sort of giant shield around the smashers. They could escape, or use any powers of theirs. They were trapped like rats.
"Load them up," Ganondorf said.
Vaati retracted them all into the orb, so that they were all extremely small. The evil duo walked back onto the giant airship that had transported the koopa troops and the tank.
"Oh crap, they have all our good fighter!" Lucas stammered.
The three had been watching the event on their way to the dock.
"We have to tell the rest of the guys!" Lucas said, "Come on."
They continued onto the dock.
Falcon clutched Kirby's body in his hands. He put his hand onto the pink blob's wrist and felt. His heart was still beating.
"He's alive,"
Mario and Nana both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's keep a-going!" Mario said.
They ran up to the hill to see Snake, Crazy, Popo, Lucario, Red and Link battling what appeared to be a shadow, but it had eyes, and a weird red fire flowing from it's "neck".
"What is that?" Nana asked.
Red flipped out his Pokedex and scanned the creature.
"Darkrai, it's an extremely rare and extremely powerful Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, but how did it end up here?" Red answered.
Lucario shot dozen of energy spheres into the Darkrai but it kept coming. It slashed Lucario back towards a wall, where Crazy Hand caught him before he hit it. Ivysaur jumped towards the and caught it with a vine whip.
"Somebody attack!" Red shouted.
"Final Smash: Mario FireTendrils!" Mario screamed as he unleashed his ultimate attack.
Darkrai broke free of the vines and managed to sidestep the attack without getting severly injured. He caught Ivysaur off guard and slammed into the rival pokemon, knocking it unconscious and shot a wave of dark energy at Mario, which struck him right in the chest.
Suddenly, both Ice Climbers smashed Darkrai over the head with a hammer, and Crazy Hand, in hand form, punched Darkrai far into the mountains. Then seven Darkrai appeared, surrounding the smashers.
"He split into seven!" Link exclaimed.
Snake ran up and kicked one Darkrai away and shot it with a missile. The others went to punch on him but he dropped a grenade and escaped with his mini helicopter escape gadget. The Darkrai flew back, each to be met by sever blows from the smashers. All seven of the injured Darkrai flew up into the air.
"Watch out!" Crazy said.
The Darkrai all shot separate beam cannons, which weakened the cliff which they were on. The cliff began to break and they all fell off. Crazy caught Link, Mario, and Falcon in mid-air, who was still holding Kirby.
Snake swooped down on his gadget to grab both Ice Climbers and Red released Charizard, who saved Ivysaur and Lucario. The smashers touched down in the jungle under the cliff. Red's group and Snake's group were close together while Crazy's was farther away.
"Is everyone alright?" Crazy shouted.
"We're good!" Red yelled back.
Suddenly Falcon screamed out in pain. Kirby's unconscious body fell to the floor along with Falcon's now impaled body. Crazy, Mario and Link turned around to see Wario with a massive, now bloodied, sword in his hand.
"WARIO!!" Mario screamed, "You done it for the last time. I have given you so many chance to be forgiven. So many! Now, those chances are gone!"
Mario screamed with rage again and suddenly Wario flew back into tree.
"W-what's going on?" Link asked.
"Mario is unleashing his dormant powers," Crazy said.
"This is incredible," Link commented.
Mario lifted up Wario and grabbed his sword, smashing it in two. He proceeded to beat Wario senseless and throw him into another cliff, which collapsed. All of a sudden, Mario was side swiped by Darkrai, who had returned.
Darkrai then opened up a portal and took Wario's limp body inside with him. Right before he left he planted a small metal object on the ground, and then the two villains disappeared.
"So they've taken the others, we have to go after them!" Lucas finished.
"Damn, Fox are you ready?" Peach screamed.
"Yeah, get in. Let's rock and roll!" Fox said.
The four of them boarded Falcon's ship and took off. Peach went off to check on the injured and the trio walked into the cockpit, where Fox was piloting the ship.
"You a-pretty good at the how you say, 'give the chase'?" Luigi asked.
"Yeah, if I can just get a lock on their ship, I could get right behind em'" Fox stated.
All of a sudden a button turned red on the dashboard, which Fox clicked. He then brought up a virtual screen which had the enemy coordinates.
"How?" Fox said.
He turned over to the secondary chair to see Game and Watch at the controls. The 2-D man nodded to Fox.
"Is there anything Game and Watch can't do?" Lucas said.
"It's a bomb," Crazy stated, "There's 15 seconds on the counter!"
"Damn," Link said, "Wait, just make a portal."
"Alright, but I won't have time to control where we end up!"
Crazy turned into human form and created a portal which all smashers jumped into. Snake, the last one to go in, grabbed Falcon and Kirby's bodies as they fell into nothingness once again.
Snake dropped onto a grass field. He laid the bodies on the ground and noticed that all the other smashers were safely there as well. They had escaped the bomb. Now where were they?
All of a sudden Link was kicked from behind. Mario was hit with a wave of thunder. The others got into battle stance against their new assailants. One was a man dressed in raggedy clothes, a red bandana around his head. There was a number 9 tattoo on his ear. The other was a smaller figure, with a tall straw hat and blue robes. His face could not be seen. The number 8 was clearly on his hat.
Both parties began to strike when Snake's voice cried out.
"Wait!!"
The two enemies stopped and turned towards Snake.
"Snake?" the number 9 asked.
"Monk, Black Mage?"
A sharp blade struck Snake's shoulder and he fell to the floor, bleeding. The other smashers were stunned. It was Lucario.
Author's Note: I know that ending may have pissed a few of us off. But stay with me, there will be more about what just happened next chapter. I also gave Luigi, Lucas, and Game and Watch some much needed spotlight. I'm taking into consideration all the criticism I have gotten and I will make some changes.
And please, please, please review. If you like the story, just take a few seconds of your time to review the story.
