Chapter 3: A duel to the death

Meta Knight and the others dashed on a bridge that linked the world to the palace. To their surprise, the entire complex had machines. Mostly exploring other unexplored territories on the bridge. Then Meta Knight held a hand behind him, signaling to the others to stop. As is understanding what he wanted, they all jumped of the bridge and hung on to a part of it. They all then saw a man in a fedora hat walking across the bridge. Unlike Meta Knight's squad, he was spotted by the working droids. The man took out a bull whip and began to lash at the droids. Smoke began to sputter everywhere! "He's going to blow our cover!" , Obi-Wan muttered. Soon Gombas and Waddle Dees began to pour out of the palace. The new comer then took out a pistol and began to fire. The minions were instantly sent flying with each shot. Once he ran out, a group of Primids of the large variety spawned on the bridge. He was cornered. As if it couldn't get any worse, Crazy Hand appeared on the bridge. The five heroes remained in their position. Although the man was possibly caught their cover may still remain. The five heroes began to attempt to slip past them all until they heard snicker, "Time to use something people here call a final smash. The enemy began to wait in anticipation. His eyes began to glow yellow as he smashed a ball that he took from his sack. He screeched, "TEMPLE.......ESCAPE!!!!!" Everyone on the bridge closed their eyes and braced themselves. He then began to flee past the enemy.

Crazy Hand then realized he was escaping. "It was a trick! Get him!" Before they had begun to move again, rocks began to fall from above,and the bridge began to sway. By now they ALL were running, including Meta Knight's squad. An unfortunate Goomba looked behind itself to see a huge bolder racing toward them. This Goomba, along with many others, were being trampled by the boulder. Crazy Hand flew in front of everyone ,and began to use his bomb drop attack in the entrance, making them lose their hope of escaping the enormous boulder. Falco took out his blaster and began to blast at Crazy Hand with quick succession. Crazy Hand how ever, shrugged this off and continued to barricade the entrance. Everyone stopped once they were close to the hand.

"What now?" ,asked Falco impatiently.

Meta Knight looked around for a solution, but found none. Thinking quickly, Obi-Wan took out his hand out in front of the upcoming boulder ,and stopped it before it did harm. He then used the force and tossed the boulder at the cackling hand. Everyone stared at the Jedi. Goombas began to warship him as a new koopa king. Waddle dees began swarming in shock. Primids disintegrated. Everyone stared in cold dead shock.

After a while, the new comer introduced himself as Indiana Jones. The heroes greeted him as well. Before they entered base, Falco picked up the Crazy Hand Trophy from the floor. Along the way the Goombas sacrificed themselves to defeat any enemies. "Can you people tell me what you are doing here?" ,Indy said after a long while. "We would like to ask you the same thing...", Ike said suspiciously. "Fine. I came here looking for several legendary artifacts: the sword of evil's bane.... the Master Sword," everyone grew silent at this. Indy continued, ", another gold like sword,and a triforce shard." Everyone grew tense. Meta Knight was the tensest of them all, "This gold sword you speak of, can you describe it for me?"

"Well it looks golden with tiny swords out the edges of the blade,and It can only be wielded by a true hero. And when it is wielded it sparks to life and becomes as strong as the Master Sword."

Meta Knight began to grip his sword inside his cloak. His blade was indeed the vary one Indy seeked.

I better keep an eye out for Obi-Wan and this one as well. Meta Knight thought.

Silence followed.

"We on the other hand, are looking for some clue to what the subspace wants and what are their plans," Marth answered to Indy, breaking the silence. Up ahead they all saw trophies eliminated by a lone light. They began to sprint toward them. They all stopped dead when they that the trophies were.... Team 3's.( Luigi,Sonic,Pokemon Trainer,Snake,Slippy,and Pit)

"I got a bad feeling about this....",said Indy.

Suddenly a shield began to invoke them. By instinct Obi-Wan and Indy rolled forward. They got up and looked at their fellow companions. In shock, they were trapped. "You must free us! This barrier is beginning to decrease in size!",informed Meta Knight. They began to franticly find a way to free them. Knowing if they didn't their comrades would fall in battle,but not as a trophy. They scampered on a wall.

"There must be a switch somewhere...",said Indy.

"Yes, but where?", replied Obi-wan.

"Look behind yourself,and find out....",said a voice.

Obi-wan froze, he knew this voice....

"Vader...." He,Indy,and the others turned around. "It's been a while.."He began to walk toward the black armored villain. "What have you done this time? And why are you back?"

"I've been revived with true power.... more than the force wields. More than you can imagine....",replied Darth Vader.

"Ha!Heh!Ha!Ha! You are all fools! Thinking you could win! Against the subspace.",replied a cackling voice.

The veterans recognized him as Ganondorf. But before the veterans could say anything Indy spoke up,

"Hyrulian mythology states that you are the dark lord Ganon! Wielder of the Triforce of Power!"

"The one and only!Ha!Heh!Heh!Ha!Ha!",chuckled Ganondorf, making no attempt to show modesty.

Indy gave a flick of his whip,and sent Ganondorf falling down the somewhat slanted floor.

"I will take the Triforce now.," said Indy.

Ganondorf just cackled in humor. He got up from the floor and delivered a shadow punch. Indy was sent flying into the barrier. The barrier cracked and apparently so did his back. Seeing this chance, Obi-wan use the force on that spot. CRACK!The barrier broke and the others were free! This stunned Ganon and Vader momentarily.

Using this short time to his advantage Obi-wan drew his light saber and lunged at Vader.

Ganon however, was quick to catch up. He grabbed Obi-wan by the neck and began to choke him.

"Huh, how pathetic can one be? Why, not even Link would be caught this quick—ARGH!!!"

Ganon was cut of by sudden surge of pain.

"AH! My arm!!!! Wait...where is my arm!?!" Ganon looked down and notice a chunk of meat rolling down the small flight of stairs.

"Um...a little slow on the up take aren't we?"

Ganon snarled with rage.

Obi-wan's eyes popped out of their sockets when Ganon's arm regenerated within two seconds.

"I will crush you!!!!!!!" Ganon then attempted a shadow punch, only to be foiled by Meta Knight, as he blocked the blow.

The other freed smashers jumped and ganged up on the struggling Ganon. Slashes and hacks swamed around Ganon as he fought for his life.

Vader looked around at Ganon then at Obi-wan climbing the stairs.

Vader began to think....... He could take them all. Well if he wanted to. Why help Ganon whom had failed many times against some elf boy in pajamas? He alone should rule and overthrow the leader of the Subspace.

His thoughts were interrupted as he moved to dodge a light saber. "Some other time....old friend." He stated to Obi-wan. He then pushed all of them down the small flight of stairs with the force and walked out through a hall, leaving Ganon to struggle.

"TRAITOR!!! I will crush you!!!"

Ganon looked at his opponents with pure hate. The blow Vader dealt gave him space, however the odds were not going well for the battle damaged king of the shadows.

"There we go," stated Solid Snake as he sniped the head off on final clueless driod, "It should be a safe run from here on out."

"Nice one," stated Lucas, "Lets go team!"

Everyone ran to the ominous vault.

"According to Slippy, this is where the shadow bugs are being processed, so be prepared for anything inside here," informed Samus. Everyone gave a quick nod.

Snake set the C4 explosives and pressed a trigger.

Everyone jumped inside the gaping hole and braced themselves. However nothing happened.

They looked around.

"This, this place....its like a..a...playground," said Lucas in awe.

Everything was oddly serene. Televisions covered the rooms with mindless violent cartoons, Tom and Jerry you name it. The entire floor was decorated like a cross between a mini golf course and a playground.

"Hey!!! ANYONE HERE!?!" Yelled King Dedede, before anyone could shush him. Suddenly a small figure rose up and began to speak. "Elmo has been watching you guys, and Elmo think you are good people. But Elmo can't let you leave here alive sorry..." stated the red puppet, its eyes glowing orange.

"Master," spoke Darth Vader to a hologram, "Our operations are being compromised by a group of smashers. Should we abandon our operations and flee?"

"This is troublesome indeed, however, the operations will continue as planed. We actually needed this to happen in order to bring back our leader."

Vader remained his composure but shuddered in his head. Taboo? Now!?! Its to soon!

"I require that you capture the primary target and as many of the others possible and ones that are proved to be troublesome........kill them."

"Consider it done my lord," Vader bowed, then he quickly turned around and hack with his saber.

"You nearly caught me off guard there. Meta Knight I do believe?"

Meta Knight jumped around in the small room lunging at each clear chance he received.

"I know who the master planner is now. I will destroy him myself now."

"You are a fool he is far to powerful for someone at your level!" exclaimed Vader.

While dodging various hacks.

"Let me show you how weak I am then...." Meta Knight snickered coldly.

"Don't let him live with this information," stated The Master Planner in the confusion. "Kill him!" The Master Planner spoke as the transmission ended.

"Yes my master!"

"Hy ayah!" Meta Knight coiled around as tornado and dealt many blow as he sent Vader flying through a wall.

The battle continued on a bridge outside. Many blows were dealt and traded. Sparks flew everywhere.

Vader slammed Meta Knight on the bridge and lunged at him. Meta Knight dodged his strike and hacked him on the back. Vader yelled and struck Meta Knight with lightning. Meta Knight didn't miss a beat as he teleported around Vader and struck with quick swipes over and over again. Vader repelled him with the force and they both lunged after each other. They both separated for a few seconds and stare at each other.

Meta Knight's mask was fracture and his cape torn everywhere. Vader was missing half of his mask and had holes everywhere as well. Both were bleeding in power, rage, blood, and sweat.

"Let us finish this at once..."Spat Meta Knight.

"As you wish," spoke Vader as he prepared to lunge.

"HA!!!" They exclaimed as they rammed each other with their blade.

Both blades were struggling. Each of them pushed and tried to push their blade at one other's neck.

Suddenly they were being surrounded by primids and battle driods alike.

Crap, cursed Meta Knight in his head.

"Fool you lost!" exclaimed Vader, out of breath.

The primids gathered their laser swords and began to clip Meta Knights wings of and whip him as well.

Meta Knight was in so emotional and physical pain at this moment. His grip on his sword weakened as the pain grew. His sword was then sent flying by Vader.

Vader raised his hand to strike at the crippled warrior.

"Cookie!"

Samus sighed in exhaustion as she dodged yet another blow from her big blue foe.

"Get them Cookie Monster!" exclaimed Elmo.

King Dedede keep hammering at the beast but nothing had an effect! Not the missiles, pk fire, master hand's laser, nor Game and Watch's sausages. It was futile.

Every would would be healed quickly.

"Its time for me to take matters into my own hands!" said Master Hand. His body was full of warts and melting skin. The signs he was low on HP.

He leaped inside Cookie Monsters mouth. "Don't!" Yelled Lucas.

BOOM!!!!

It was to late. Everyone stared in awe until realization struck. Master Hand was gone...forever.

Elmo flew and attempted to repair cookie monster's mouth.

"He was repairing it!" Screeched Lucas. As he fired a pk thunder at Elmo.

"Elmo hurt! Elmo hurt!" he screeched. Suddenly he fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious. The Cookie Monster then reverted into shadow bugs.

The team looked at him with caution. There were hooks on his back. The same type used on master hand.

"Take him with us." said Lucas plainly.

"Um...excuse me? He tried to kill us!!!" Protested Samus.

"Take him now. I order you as leader." Commanded Lucas.

Samus rolled her eyes under her helmet and complied with orders.

Olimar was getting edgy, jumping up and down the cell panicking.

"Calm down!" ordered Kirby and Toon Link in unison.

"Maybe my bombs can bust us out." Toon Link decided.

Suddenly a man in a fedora hat along with team 2 and 3 came. The man unlocked the door with a key.

"WHAH!!!!" Yelled Toon Link as he ran with the bomb ready to blow.

BOOOM!

"Ah........?" Said Toon Link after the bomb blew up in his face.

"Weird kid." said Snake.

"Where is Meta Knight?" questioned Kirby. He had been anxious about his former master all day in the cell for some reason.

Everyone looked around as if they dropped him somewhere.

"Vader!" realized Obi-Wan.

A few minutes later........

"NO!!!" screamed Kirby as Vader Dealt the final blow on the crippled warrior.

Kirby was in shook. Tears began to fill his eyes as he and his entire teammates ran towards Meta Knight as he fell to the ground, fighting their way through.

Kirby swallowed Meta Knights sword and rammed into Vader as Sword Kirby.

His friends attempted to follow but were intercepted by a swarm of destroyers (shield robots).

As Vader stood up he was kicked even harder off the bridge. He landed with a thud on the floor. Kirby jumped down after him and hack. Two slices hit their mark as Vader blocked the rest.

Kirby pointed his sword at him. "You are going to pay for what you have done!"

He said half sobbing half yelling. His eyes holding back some tears but showing all of his anger.

The battle damaged Vader felt fear as he looked into his eyes. The eyes of a man set on doing a bad thing.

Well this chapter came out better than the others if I say so myself. Yes! I'm back and better than ever!
