Filled with the power of the Master Sword, Rhyno heard a voice

Filled with the power of the Master Sword, Rhyno heard a voice. He turned to see SMACchamp standing in the room.

"Link?" he said. "I'm not Link. It's me, Rhyno."

"Huh??" SMACchamp said with a strange look on his face. "You look like Link to me."

Rhyno filled him in on all that had happened.

"Oh.." SMACchamp said. "Well, what now?"

"We have to vanquish the evil inside the mountain to restore the peace on the island." Rhyno replied.

Looking alarmed, Rhyno threw his Gale Boomerang at SMACchamp. He quickly jumped out of the way.

"Hey, watch where you're throwing that thing! You could hurt somebod-"

But his words were cut short as the Boomerang came back, sweeping up SMACchamp and bringing him to Rhyno's side.

"What was that all about??" he asked angrily.

Rhyno pointed to where he was. Galleom's fist was in the exact place SMACchamp had been standing.

"Come on!" Rhyno yelled.

The two ran back toward the entrance, scooping up the still unconcious Captain on the way.

"He's after us!!" SMACchamp cried.

Thinking quickly, Rhyno pulled out a bomb and tossed it at the entrance as they passed by. It exploded just as Galleom was passing through, sending a rain of rocks tumbling down on him and sealing the room.

"Whew..." SMACchamp said as they reached daylight outside. "That was a close one."

Mog was flying to the cave, when he saw an explosion. He hustled to the cave, only to see it sealed shut, and Rhyno, Smach and Captain Falcon standing there. Seeing Rhyno with the sword.

Mog: "I could either report this to Zhao, and get a raise, or I can help the Valiants conquer Justis. Mmmmm"

After a moment, Mog started flying...towards RHyno.

Rhyno saw Mog flying toward him.

"You again?" he said, annoyed. "Why don't you just leave me alone already!"

He pulled out his bow and shot an arrow in Mog's direction. He swerved and it missed by inches.

Mog landed on Rhyno's head and started scratching at him.

"ARRGHH!!" Rhyno cried.

He pulled Mog off his face and slung him away. He got back up, dazed, but advanced on Rhyno again. This time, however, Rhyno was ready.

Just when Mog was in reach, Rhyno gave his sword a mighty swing, sending Mog airbourne, and knocking him back from where he came.

Captain Falcon woke up at the sound of the fight. He saw Rhyno with the Master Sword.

"You've done it!" he cried happily.

He looked to SMACchamp.

"And just who are you?" he asked.

SMACchamp told him his story.

"I see. So it seems that there are others besides we Smash Bros. living on this island. Maybe the great evil affected them too. It gives us all the more reason to defeat it.

Now getting the sword was easy, but reaching the great evil won't be a walk in the park. We have to go back through the jungle and come out on the other side. We will cross the river and come to a canyon. On the other side of the canyon lies the lair of the beast."

"I'm up for anything." Rhyno said. "You coming SMACchamp?"

"Sure."

"okay, now to give these waddle dees something to do...
oh! I know. waddle dees, go find shira. he's somewhere on the mountain. he's a white wolf, you can't miss him."
the waddle dees walk off in search of shira.

In the midterm of all this, Shiranui and Issun, Maram, Lucario, Marth and Genoni were scouting the area around the Kingdom's facility. Zetsu had come along with them, so the facility was now abandoned.

Genoni: So... WHY are you helping us again?

Zetsu: You are the enemy of our enemy, so we are friends. We originally had our sights on wiping you out or converting you, as Maram was supposed to do with Shira, but it seems fate has conspired to make us allies.

Shiranui: Whoa, whoa WHOOAA!! Maram was supposed to get me to join you, so you could kill all the Valiants?

Zetsu: It may sound bad to you, but we had to secure our place in the "tournament." You see, the "tournament" is actually a series of sick and twisted games set up by... Zetsu looks around, and whispers, "The Dark One. He alone was the cause for the corruption of almost all of the Smash Bros. We crashed here years ago. We found Lucario a savage, and luckily we could follow ancient inscriptions in an altar and construct a mind-purifier, to get rid of the Dark One's grip. Even you, Shira, can be corrupted.

Shira: So... You wanted to kill us to spare us an even MORE gruesome death?

Zetsu: Exactly. But, it seems your friend Rhyno is the legendary hero who alone has the ability to defeat the Dark One. We must assist him and act as his vassals. So, we must find your friend... And any other Valiants...

As Zhao and Olimar advanced with their Pikmin army, they heard a roar. Suddenly, a massive bike came and ran over thousands of Pikmin. On the bike was none other than Wario.

Zhao: "Well look, if it isn't Wario. Did they run out of food at McDonald's?"

Wario: "...yeah. But thats besides the point. I'm here for some sword. HAND IT OVER!"

Olimar: "Go find that Rhyno dude. He has it."

No sooner then when Olimar finished his sentence, Wario went racing off.

Zhao: "WHAT WAS THAT FOR??"

Olimar: "We'll let Wario find Rhyno and his crew, then we'll position ourselves in a perfect spot for an ambush. But we must be patient. Dont worry. Wario cant take Rhyno."

And so, they headed off.

as smac, cf, and rhyno run through the jungle, they here a motorcycle coming up behind them.
cf:"oh-no..."
smac:"what"
cf:"him.points at wario"
smac:"ohhh..."
rhyno:"this shouldn't be that hard... should it?"
cf:"no. it will just smell"

"I'm here for the sword!" Wario yelled. "Give it to me, now!"

"Fat chance." Rhyno said.

"Is that some kinda insult??" Wario said angrily. "You've done it now!"

Wario got off his bike and took out a piece of garlic. He placed it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously. Then, he started to glow. He glowed, spinning around until the light faded and he became...

Wario-Man.

"Watch out!" the Captain said. "He's invincible as Wario-Man."

Wario-Man ran forward and dove to tackle SMACchamp, but he stepped out of the way.

Captain Falcon jumped up. "FALCOOOON PAAAUNCH!!" he yelled.

Then there was a loud farting noise. Captain Falcon was blown back as Wario-Man shot up into the air.

Seizing the opportunity, Rhyno ran up and jumped on Wario's bike.

"WAH HAH HAH!!" Wario-Man laughed as he landed back on the ground. "I'm invincible, that bike can't hurt me."

But just as those words left his mouth, Wario-Man began to glow again. He had turned back into Wario.

"Uh...uh-oh." he said.

Rhyno drove the bike right up and smashed Wario, sending him packing.

"Thanks for the bike, Wario!" Rhyno yelled. "You made things much easier and faster for us!"

SMACchamp climbed on the bike, and Captain Falcon snapped his fingers. The Blue Falcon came fying up next to him. He jumped in, and they ventured forward, deeper into the jungle.

Maram and Company continued to travel as fast as they could to find Rhyno or the other Valiants. After a while they reached a clearing in the forst where they could see a Golem that appeared to be attacking something...

"Well, let's get down there" said Zetsu preparing to run again, but he was stopped.

"I owe my life to you, Zetsu," said Lucario, "The least I can do is help us travel."

With that, Lucario concentrated hard and after a moment, we were traveling toward the Golem at high speeds, in a matter of seconds we were there. Zetsu was sitting on the ground, dizzy and disoriented, Lucario was exausted from the use of energy. Shira and Maram were fine.

Suddenly, the Golem noticed ZZetsu and went to attack him. Zetsu was clueless of the attack. Lucario, however, noticed this and ran up to attack the Golem. While Lucario was too weak to kill the beast, he could hold it at bay for a bit. Maram and Shira took this oppertunity to jump onto it's back and begin to attack it's neck. Maram with his black sword, and Shira with his limited Celestial powers. Maram was able to cut it's neck, at which time Shira howeled and began to barrage the wound.

The Golem was dying, it stumbled around flailing it's arms. However, in an instant, One of the Golem's fists made contact with the resting Lucario. Lucario flew to the nearby wall and a heavy thud could be heard. Then, the Golem fell over, defeated.

Zetsu regained his sense and crawled over to Lucario, who was folded over at the wall. Closer inspection showed that blood freely trikled from his mouth. His Aura was fading.

"Y-you saved my life.." said Zetsu, "Why."

"You saved my life," Lucario stuggled to say, before coughing up blood, "I was just paying back my debt."

Lucario's Aura faded more, it was barely glowing.

"You...Were...A-always...good..." said Lucario before his Aura completely faded leaving Lucario a pale white.

Zetsu walked back to Shira and Maram, his upper face was covered by his black hood, but, on his cheeks tears could be seen.

"Where's Rhyno, I must talk with him." said Zetsu. That was when Everybody realized that the other Valiant's weren't there. The Golem must've just been angry and pounding things. However, Maram felt his shirt being tugged at, he looked down at a Waddle Dee. The Waddle began to lead them all away...

In the mdierm, Marth had abandoned his newfound companions to seek out Ike, in order to restore his senses. But suddenly, he felt a pang.

Marth: Rukkario... What happened...?

Marth stopped dead in his tracks. He sunk to his knees and broke down.

On Higuy's way to find Zhao, I come across Kirby with DDD and Meta. The duo were back to normal.

Kirby:"DDD's greed is greater than evil, and meta-knight is easily swayed."

Kirby gave me his cutter,"this might come in handy."

"Thanks kirby"

And so I went off. I come across a lying Lucario and knewit had been of a Golem. I knew someone was near. I left a waddle dee to contact me for any info or other Valiant's. I ran off to find Zhao...

When I got near the mountain, I got attacked by a small army of Pikmin. My waddle army and I killed many(and i like those little critters. i knew they were corrpupt, so I had no choice), but we weren't doing well. I decided to grab three pikmin(one of each of the primary colors) and retreat.

As I ran up the mountain, I felt less and less sure of myself...

As i head up the mountain, a motorcycle and flying racecar fly by me. they slow and I hope they are friends, not enemies...

"Wh-where am I?" said Genoni
??"You are on your island. These people have taken it from you.
He is shown the Valiants
Now, These fighters,
shows him the Brawlers is dark form
are your allies.
When they are light, they are enemies.
You can make them dark again.
Use your powers."
Genoni remembered his powers
??"Now, reclaim your island"
"Yes.
I will."

smac gets off the motorbike
"hey higuy! what's up"

"SMAC!? didn't I-Uhh... How'd You- Hi? "

"the waddle dees are looking for shira, if that's what you are asking about. I found rhyno along the way, so we are looking for the source of all these problems."

"shira? I thought I saw a wolf mark next to Lucario... I haven't done much, got a cutter and found that kirby saved DDD and meta. I also found(which is an understatement) some Pikmin and have been trying to get them to sing. here maybe you can help."

throws SMAC a red pikmin

"So wats with rhyno and... Is That The Cap!?"

So I say my hello's and good-bye's and learn some of rhyno's journey(HE LEFT KIRBY!!) and I'm off...

I finnally arive to find Zhao. I find him sitting there with an army of pikmin hiding behind bushes. I had finnally gotten my yellow pikmin to break(water works well against electricity) and he told me they were waiting to ambush Rhyno. I decided to slowly pluck away as many pikmin as I could before being discovered and try to revert them to good for a nice addition to my army.

I learned from my good pikmin that reds and yellows revert to good when they touch water, blues revert to lava, whites to oil, and purples to pounding. and so I began "recruiting".

Shira and the KoS have arrived at the lip of the canyon. Though disheartened at the loss of Lucario, they could do nothing but soldier on and defeat the Dark One. Maybe then Lucario's Aura would be released from the Dark One and flow back into Lucario, if they were lucky...

Maram: So, where do you think they'll go, Shira?

Shiranui: Well, judging by their scent trails, they're trying to get through this canyon.

Maram: Holy , there they are!

Maram indicated the Blue Falcon, and SMAC and Rhyno on the Wario bike headed in their direction.
Shiranui looked around for a way to get across the canyon and cut them off, and he found it: A Konohana Blossom. He used his Celestial Brush to make a Konohana vine carry him over the canyon, with Issun, as he always was, on Shiranui's head. He used his most powerful Galestorm available to blow Maram and Zetsu over, the latter of which did not have wings, so Shiranui had to use one of his rosaries as a rope to pull him up the other edge.

Issun: Now, to get to them...

Zetsu noticed something: It was Duon. Duon spotted them, and began charging towards them.

Maram and Zetsu readied their weapons, but Shiranui collapsed.

Maram: Shira?

Shiranui panting: That wore me out quite a bit... You two take him out... Maybe Rhyno, Smac and the Captain will get up here to help... Haaah... Haaah... If my tail was in better condition, that would... have been nothing... Haaah... I need to rest for a bit...

While driving along in the Wario Bike, Rhyno noticed something lying on the path. He slowed down to a stop, along with SMACchamp and the Captain, and they went to examine it.

It was a red hat with a large "M" on it.

"Hmmm..." Rhyno thought. "I wonder who this belongs to.."

He stuck it in his pocket and turned to walk back to the bike, but it was gone! They looked over, and they saw that the Blue Falcon was missing too! They searched and searched, but the two vehicles were nowhere to be found.

"I know!" the Captain said.

He snapped his fingers tp call the Blue Falcon.

It never came.

He snapped them again, but still nothing.

"This can't be good..." he said.

Rhyno replied, "I kno-" but before he could finish, he was tackled from behind.

He got up, whirled around, and was staring face to face with a capless Mario and Luigi. They had the same evil look in their eyes as the others. Things didn't look good...

smac: that hat that we picked up, could it be mario's? if it is, show it to him quick
rhyno: good idea shows mario the hat
mario: wha?? my hat!! thanks. luigi, stop now okay?
luigi: no. must kill all...
mario: oh boy, my own brother...

Mario was back to normal, but Luigi still had the look.

"Luigi!!" Mario pleaded. "Don't-a your recognize-a your own-a brudder??"

"Dark one...says...destroy..." he replied.

"LUIGI!!" Mario yelled.

"IT'S-A ME, MARIO!!"

There was silence. The darkness in Luigi's eyes flickered, but returned to what it was before.

"Must...kill...ALL!!" he cried, and he leapt forward to attack Mario.

mario dodges the attack, but he tripped and falls helpless on the ground.

"uh-oh," says mario. then...

"FALCON PAUNCH!!"

luigi goes flying in the air, nailed by captain falcon.

Maram readied his weapons. They charged at Duon, who responded with a barrage of missile fire, which broke Zetsu's sword and shield. Shiranui hurtled the Reflector, Divine Retribution and the Glaive, Tsukuyomi, at Zetsu, who caught them.

Duon spinned around to let the blade side do the work. The blade side swung his blade arms at Zetsu, who blocked with his new Reflector, and then, feeling the power of the Reflector surge through him, did a Celestial piledriver... Right off the canyonside. Maram and Shiranui ran to look down, and they saw Duon only ten feet away from Rhyno and Smac. Maram flew down the canyon, while Shiranui jumped down.

But, they also had to confront Shadow Luigi... Rhyno and the Captain turned their attention to Duon, leaving Smac And Mario to deal with Luigi...

"Hello Falco, Fox"
F"Hey Genoni1 look, wolf is still evil and..."
A ray of darkness engulfed Falco and Fox.
F"Master Genoni, I am at your command"
f"Master Genoni, I am at your command"
"Good."
Wolf appearers
W"Now to finis...
Master Genoni, I apologize.
I am at your command"
"Yes, now to find the others..."

luigi comes back in the middle of the fight with duon.

"crap!!" said smac. "he's back"

"mario, can you handle luigi on your own?" asked rhyno

"yep" replied mario

a few seconds later, mario goes flying and is knocked unconscious.

"great, just great. I'll fight luigi." said smac. "this will be fun"

"Yes it will."
Genoni comes out of nowhere
"Fox, Falco, Wolf, help Luigi.
SMAC, you dare come to my island?
You shall be filled with endless torture, unless you join me.
do you accept?"

Shiranui: He shall not accept.

And you, friend, have been decieved. Look at me, Genoni: Do we look like friend or foe?

We know you better than the Dark One. The Dark One corrupts life for his ow twisted pleasures. Do not be decieved into the hands of Darkness... For I know who he is now: Yami reborn.

"Who?" askes Maram turning around in the midst of battle.

Rhyno and Captain Falcon stared down Duon.

"You take one side, I'll take the other!" the Captain said, as he ran around to the sword side.

He jumped, and did a slamming Falcon Kick in the sword side's face. Unphased, Duon lifted up his sword and swung it at the Captain, knocking him back.

Meanwhile, Rhyno was feverishly dodging beams and slashing at the beam side, but it was to no avail. Everything he did seemed to have no effect. Then, he had an idea.

Duon aimed a canon straight in Rhyno's face. Stunned, the Captain yelled, "WATCH OUT!" But Rhyno knew what to do. He pulled out a bomb and threw it straight into the canon.

There was silence. Then, an explosion rocked everything, and Duon was blown in half, his pieces strewn all over the ground.

"Rhyno..." Captain Falcon said. "You truly are the hero."

"Now we jus thave to deal with Luigi and the other corrupted." said Maram, before him, Rhyno and the Cap. Charged forward.

Yami is a dark being, though not even I know of his true origins. He has dominion over all evil, all demons, and he is very difficult to defeat. Judging by the waves of Darkness emanating from the mountain, he is far more powerful than the last time we clashed. I thought he would be defeated for all eternity when he was destroyed our of the mortal dimension of Nippon. I was wrong... Now, he is back. We MUST destroy him before the winter solstice, where he is nigh-unstoppable! The only time he is more powerful is on the Day of Darkness, a day-long total solar eclipse that only occurs once every hundred years. Fortunately, I defeated him on that day two years ago. But now... He will be only taken down by the legendary hero: Rhyno.

Shiranui turned to face Shadow Luigi, and he enhanced his rays of light. Maybe that would dispell Yami's hold over Luigi...

Luigi was engulfed in the rays of light. He stood still, then opened his mouth.

"MUST OBEY DARK ONE!!" he yelled.

"It's no use, Shira." Rhyno said. "We need to find his hat. It's the only way to restore his memories..."

Shiranui roared as loudly as he could. The sheer might of his roar shook the canyon walls. He then suddenly took flight and flew at the Shadow Brawlers with a might not seen by mortals, as he barraged them with fangs, claws, Glaives, Rosaries and Reflectors. The four of them were laid to waste.

Issun: Ya think those wimps could take on furball here? You've got another thing comin', bud.

Zetsu and Maram captured the four of them and started taking them back to the KoS base. Shiranui, Rhyno, Issun, the Captain and Smac brought up the rear. They ran as fast as they could, away from the corrupted Genoni.

"Oh, You think you'll get anywhere?
ARISE, GREAT GALUON!" Yelled Geoni.
A large beast resembling a combination of Duon and Galeom blocked the path of the VBs.
"Now, my beast, ATTACK!"

Shiranui dashed to the head of the group and used his most powerful Fireburst. That melted the beast' armor, exposing the CPU and primary circuits. Zetsu leaped and slashed at the heavily-protected circuits, while the Captain started Falcon Punching the CPU housing. Rhyno whirled on the spot and chucked his Gale Boomerang right at Genoni's face, knocking him to the ground. Smac and Maram remained on guard, ready to fight on either front.

"Hahahaha, fool.
Now..."
A dark version of the boomerang appearers
"Take THIS!"
It hits rhyno, and the sword is stolen from him.

Shiranui leaps away from Galuon, and tackles Genoni. He gets the Master Sword back and throws it at Rhyno.

Meanwhile, with Galuon now defeated, and Genoni dazed, the band of warriors retreats safely away back into the jungle. Mario and the now-purified Luigi follow.

"huh, shhhh, huh, shhhhhh, huh"
"NOW'S MY CHANCE!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
Genoni is covered in a brilliant light.
??"I'm back baby!
It feels good to be oelqaz again!"

wakes up "oh, where am I now" the Dark Olimar looked at him from the shadows "you are mine now"
"what?" the Dark Olimar puts an evil hold on Magna
"you are now evil" he said "you will do as I comm... huh?" the Olimar had seen the whistle that Magna had blown earlier. It was his, and it returned hom to Olimar. But Magna was still dark.
"I will not harm you now as you are my main, but next time you will not be so lucky" he said. Then Dark Magna flew off in a pillar of purple fire leaving only Olimar to tell the Valiants of Magna, the fact that he had learned that every evil thing on the island took energy from Subspace, and what would happen when all the Subspace was gone.

After collecting a large majortity of Zhao's pikmin army, Higuy heard someone creeping near by. He see Olimar walk up. I bring up my cutter and prepare to fight.

Olimar: Wait wait! I'm good, you need to worry about Magna. Please, will you let me tell you what's going on?

crouching silently, justis watches his prey. It seems all he can do is watch...ever since that incident 10 years ago...he remembers it...

10 years ago, he went out to hunt a dragon attacking the town with Captain Linebeck and his cousin link...that's when everything went wong, and the truth was exposed to Justis...but no one would believe him. He saw it whirl by in fast motion. He saw him about to finish off the dragon, but link let him go because of an illegal deal with the dragon. He saw Linebeck, who had learned the truth, run to his boat to alert the king and queen, get hit by Link's arrow.
He saw Link, the royalty's favorite nephew, tell the queen and king how it was all Justis, the hated child and disgrace to royalty, even though it was clear Link lied. He saw himslef, once heir to the king, be tossed onto this island helplessly, all because of one monster's lie. He saw Link, nephew to his parents, take his place as king. He saw himself now...and He wanted revenge. Starting with his parents...
Justis: Come on Blackchain, let's go visit ma and pops, eh?
Blackchain:...Mud.

As the group makes it back to the well-hidden facility, they hurry through the door, fearful that Genoni would follow, but he did not.

Smac: Can someone PLEASE explain to me what's going on??

Shiranui: Son of a BITCH!! First Lucario dies, then Genoni recovers from his amnesia!

Rhyno: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought you said that Genoni was just corrupted by some powerful evil?

Shiranui: Hah... I'll explain everything.

It started after Yami's defeat two years ago. Even though there was no trace of his machine or his body, I could faintly tell he still lived. His scattered energy must have collected from all other demons under his control, to make Yami more powerful than ever. He took an infant who was awed by his evil might, and turned him into a dark apprentice. They left the realm of Nippon and went to a secluded area. I found Genoni honing the dark arts he learned from Yami's spirit, and I unleashed a blast of pure light energy. That knocked all darkness from him... For a time. When we met up with you, the Valiant Brawlers, I passed Genoni off as a common boy. But, soon his abilities came back, but his dark past did not. So, he became powerful, but he did not know the origins of his power. But, when we came here, where Yami had fled, his dark energy must have remanifested itself in Genoni. I lied to you, and to him as well, in the hopes that he would not be scorned and his memory would not come back. But I have failed in that regard. I... was a fool... to think that I could keep him as that carefree, innocent boy...

Issun: Yeah... He made good conversation... He knew how to sneak a peek at a gi--

Rhyno: Okay, so now we know who Genoni really is. And Maram already told me about Yami. But how do we defeat the both of them?

Zetsu: The prophecy says that only the one with the blade of evil's bane--That's Rhyno, with the Master Sword--can defeat the true evil, the Ruler Of Darkness, Yami.

Smac: So... Not even Shira, who's defeated Yami before, can stop him?

Maram: No. Shira told me, and I told Rhyno, that Yami's too powerful for Shira to handle. Defeat Genoni? Possibly. But Yami reborn? No.

Rhyno: B-but...

Issun: Aw, c'mon! If some wolf with a paintbrush for a tip of a tail swinging a bunch of random things in his mouth can take down that big hunk o' nuts and bolts, then so can you!

Zetsu: But the prophecies say that the Ruler of Darkness reborn would have a living body!

Shiranui: Correct. The physical manifestation of evil itself, too horrible for normal mortals to so much as look at. But, you might be safe, for a time, everyone.

Mario: But what about-a the Shadow Brawlers? They're-a gonna try and-a stop us.

Luigi: 'ey, Mario! We know how to a-handle them! We used to-a be Shadow Brawlers ourselves, right? How hard can it be?

Maram: So, we'd better prepare for lots of guerilla warfare until the Shadow Brawlers are taken care of.

Zetsu: Come! Come and we discuss our plans!

And with that, a new alliance is born.

Zhao , realizing half of his Pikmin ditched him, charged for the old fort. The old fort was a site known only to Shu. It had a wooden wall surrounding the base, and a moat surrounding the wall. Zhao came over

Zhao: "ROB! Lower the bridge!"

A ROB sentry slowly lowered the bridge. Zhao walked into the fort with his Pikmin force. Then the ROB sentry raised the bridge.

In front of te bridge stood a black as night wolf accompanied by an equally as black mudkip. The ROB Sentry was about to sound the alarm when a quick as lightning SLASH! cut through his circuitry. The wolf lowered the bridge and went on through, searching for an old friend...a very long ago friend. That didn't matter to him. This"friend" had invaded his land, so his friend would now face the Wrath of Justis.

The allies heard him before they saw him: It was Justis.

Issun: Back for round-two, eh, snaggletooth?

But Justis ignored Issun and Shiranui altogether. When he saw Rhyno, he snarled.

Justis: LINK!! YOU'LL PAY FOR BETRAYING ME!!

Maram and Zetsu quickly dash forward to protect Rhyno.

Zetsu: Bah! Open your eyes, you fool! This is Rhyno!

Captain Falcon: Yeah! I saw him pull out the Master Sword! The Master Sword made him LOOK like Link! He's just a normal boy!

Justis didn't buy it, however, and the allies knew they were in for a tussle...

SONIC ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAR!! Blows rhyno away so far it was impossible to see.&AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! giant ball of energy appears, and Justis uses sonic roar to blast a giant wave at the VB's and the brawl characters

It took the combined efforts of Mario's cape, Shiranui's Solar Flare AND Power Slash, Zetsu's Divine Retribution, and Maram's Angel Ring to stop the blast, but even then they were left with some energy burns. It was clear that, enraged, this threat was much more powerful than normal. But perhaps he was more careless...

smac managed to avoid the blast altogether, using his amazing running skills.
he snuck up on justis from behind, hoping to distract him long enough for the others to get him...

Justis:...I heard your conversation. The blade I hold is a mix of the Master Sword and the Ragnell. If I gave this to this...Yami...He could defeat you and I could hep him rule the Smash Sea. EHEHEHEHEHEHE! Then what would you do, Valiant Brawlers? Figure it out soon. Because that's what's happening. It'll kill two birds with one unira for me. Good Luckjumps over them and runs off

Shiranuiafter the room is in order: Pah!! The fool! He thinks he can just GIVE something as petty as a sword to Yami and expect him to thank him by splitting rule? Yami would take the sword and kill him on the spot! The one person he will NOT kill is Genoni. Genoni is a being that, soon, will become as dark as Yami, though not as powerful. Then, Yami will absorb Genoni's dark energy, killing him.

Rhyno: So, that sword's nothing to Yami?

Issun: Damn straight. That guy doesn't NEED anything besides his dark energy.

Smac: So, what's the origin of Subspace?

Shiranui: Presumably Yami's dark energy. Tabuu may have been a hidden demon, and this would seem like something one of Yami's followers would do.

Maram: So if that's what only Yami's followers can do, then I'm scared to imagine what Yami himself can do...

Zetsu: But no matter what, we must make sure that Rhyno defeats him, even if it takes our lives.
