Tabuu smiled mischievously, panic striking the hearts of Kirby, Samus and Sonic. "As a famous author once said, 'fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up. It's fascinating'. It truly is." The three final opponents looked at each other in fear. Kirby was childish, but he was quick and strong-able to copy any ability. Sonic was also fast, but not that strong. Samus was powerful, in her Power Suit, but slower than both the others. "Now," he motioned towards the exit, "your fate awaits."
Sonic smiled. "Can't win them all..." he looked at Samus, "...or any, in your case."
Although Samus' eyes couldn't be completely seen through her opaque green visor, Sonic knew that she was glaring at him. "Since he's making quotes," she said, jabbing a thumb at Tabuu, "'stay out of my way, if you value your kiwis.'" she pointed at Sonic. "This goes double for you, hedgehog."
Kirby jumped in the way of Samus and Sonic, who were scowling at each other. Although he didn't speak english-or any language for that matter-everyone just had to guess what he meant. Kirby jumped up, hands apart, in between the two. "Poyo!"
Staring at Kirby, Samus stuck her hand out, and Sonic grabbed it and shook it. "May the best man win." Sonic said, as the three started toward the large steel doors looming above them.
Peach, hands at her chest, looked at the screen. Samus, one of her friends, jumped into the air and did a flip, dropping a bomb as she did. A tear left Peach's eye. As it hit the ground, Tabuu appeared in a flash of light beside Peach, smaller in size. "So, why exactly are you doing this?" Peach asked, sadness in her voice.
Tabuu smiled, and glanced up at the television. "There are many reasons why I am doing this."
Peach snapped. "Amusement, boredom, anger?" she raised her voice with every word, turning her hand into a fist as she did.
Tabuu narrowed his eyes. "More reasons then you'll ever know." Tabuu smiled again, looking at the fear in Peach's eyes. "You're scared? One can never be truly fearless, that's impossible. It's learning how to control that fear and how to be free from it." Peach also looked in Tabuu's eyes, but glanced away, scared, as he finished talking. Tabuu shrugged. "Suit yourself." he smiled, and disappeared in his signature blue light.
She muttered the words under her breath, fixing her gaze back at the television. "It's learning how to control that fear and how to be free from it." she walked over to Mario. "You know what?" she said, smiling slightly evilly, "The only way to be free from fear is to learn how to control it." when Mario didn't answer, obviously confused, she smiled. "Like a man once said, 'we didn't create this world. We're just the poor saps living in it.'"
Mario smiled, although he didn't understand what she was getting at, and frankly, Peach didn't either. "I have a plan." she said flatly, slight anger in her voice.
She turned back around to face the screen-Kirby slammed down and crushed Sonic's skull, killing him with a spine cringing crack. Blood drained from Sonic's nose and mouth, and his eyes flipped backwards into his skull. His skin-well, his muzzle and chest skin, the rest covered with... whatever the blue stuff was-turned ghostly white, and the arrogant hedgehog collapsed to the ground like a skeleton.
Peach smirked. "And it needs Kirby."
The three quotes are actually from famous (or semi-famous) people. The quote about fear is from Veronica Roth, the author of the Divergent trilogy. The one about "valuing [your] kiwis" is from Jo-a character from the Total Drama television series. The third quote, "we didn't create this world. We're just the poor saps living in it.", is from Michael Grant, the author of the Gone series and the BZRK series.
