Okay, I'm going to give off the answers to the trivia questions two chapters back. Seems like none of you here are catching up to popular Internet memes very much.
1. Luigi's stone football: It originated in the old cartoon based on Super Mario World and many elements from the show has been used in Youtube Poops, which random and totally crazy videos that make no sense. Other famous Youtube Poop elements include Mama Luigi from the same show, quotes from Hotel Mario, several stuffs from CD-I Zelda games, and crazy stuffs by Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
2. Desu: In the anime Rozen Maiden, the character Suiseiseki is known for saying 'desu' at the end of almost all her phrases, and combined with her lovely character design, she is the most popular character in the show and her constant usage of desu has earned her quite a fad on the Internet.
Chapter 8
A New Intruder! The Situation Becomes a Mess!
E-102 Chaos Gamma walked over to the three and pointed his gun-like arm at DK and Diddy who were trying to pull Elise out of the window on the door. "Oh no… Not at a time like this…" Diddy cried.
"Must destroy intruder," Gamma said.
"We'll deal with him first then!" DK said, stepping forward while flexing his arm. "Princess, you stay inside there again until we deal with him! We'll try to get you out again afterwards!"
"Okay…" Elise said, and she began to pull herself back in. She planted her feet against the door and pulled back, but found herself stuck going in that direction too. "Oh no… Ngh!" But after a bit of struggling, she finally popped back in and landed onto the floor with a thud. "Ow…"
Diddy looked into the window and asked, "Are you all right?"
"I'm all right… Don't worry about me."
"We'll get you out as fast as possible!" And Diddy jumped down next to DK and got into fighting stance. "Let's take him down!"
"Let's go!" DK shouted, and he took the start.
"Intruder coming," Gamma said, and he opened hire with bullets. DK quickly ducked down to allow the bullets to go over him safely, and he leaped forward and rammed the robot in the body hard using his head. Gamma took a step forward and changed his right hand into a drill and thrust it forward. DK moved his head aside and caught him by the arm and then swung him around into the wall face first.
SLAM!
DK took a step back and allowed the robot to get back on foot. "Slight damage done. Condition still above average," Gamma said. "Will continue to eliminate target."
"C'mon!" DK said.
Gamma's hand turned into a gun again and fired a missile at him. DK stepped aside and the missile went pass him, but then the missile turned around again! DK quickly jumped away and the missile struck the floor he stood on and exploded. DK tossed himself at Gamma when he jumped away and raised both hands over him to smash the robot. Gamma quickly changed both arms into what looked like tuning forks that emitted electricity in between them. DK came in contact with the forks and was electrocuted and flew back. "Yeow!"
When Gamma lowered his hands, Diddy tossed himself at him and latched onto the robot's face. "Object blocking view," Gamma said. "Cannot see target."
"Take this!" Diddy shouted while pummeling the robot's head rapidly.
"Diddy! Move out!" DK shouted as he ran forward while winding up a punch. Diddy leaped out of the way, allowing Gamma to see, but he was unable to avoid the punch.
CRASH!!
The robot fell onto the floor with a large dent on its body. "Yeah! We did it!" Diddy exclaimed.
But Gamma stood back up again and said, "Restore mode activate." Then the sound of engine running could be heard coming from his body and the dent on the body slowly returned to normal. "Damage healed by forty percent. Back to perfect condition."
"It's not over yet," DK said, getting into fighting stance again. He charged forward and grabbed the robot's body and they began wrestling each other. DK had the strength advantage however and he lifted up Gamma and tossed him behind him and slammed him down onto the floor hard.
CRASH!
While the robot was trying to get up, Diddy threw a couple of orange bombs onto him.
BANG! BANG!
Gamma was blown back again by the explosion, but stood back up again afterwards and fired from his gun rapidly. The two Kongs jumped up high and grabbed onto the pipes that were hanging down from the ceiling. Gamma looked up and then lowered its body forward slightly, and the back of his body opened and a launcher came out and shot up a bomb. "Oh no!" Diddy gasped. They quickly let go to fall down and the bomb blasted the ceiling and debris fell down.
CRASH!
The Kongs landed but were pummeled by the falling ceilings pieces. "Ow! Yeow!"
Gamma opened fire again, but DK picked up a large piece of ceiling and used it as a shield. Diddy picked up another one and jumped up behind DK to throw the piece. Gamma saw the piece flying to him and quickly shot it down, but DK used this chance to throw his piece into his body, though it didn't do anything. DK dashed forward afterwards and stuck out one foot to kick Gamma in the body and pushed him back several steps. He showed no remorse and reached to the robot and forcefully picked him up and threw him backwards onto the floor.
CRASH!!
As the fight went on, Scratch came back to his senses and said, "What happened?"
"Hey! Get my head back on!" Grounder said.
"Oh." Scratch picked up his partner's head and stuck it back onto the body, and then he witness the fight going on. "Look! Gamma is fighting Sonic's friends!"
"We must help him!" Grounder said.
"Let us use the Egg-O-Zooka again!" Scratch picked up the bazooka that was lying nearby and took aim, and he made sure that he wasn't holding it in the wrong direction this time. "Fire!" And he fired a shot.
Gamma thrust forward a fist and tried to punch DK, who ducked to avoid it. This was when the bazooka shot went over DK and blasted the robot in the face and sent him crashing backwards.
BANG!
"Oh no!" Scratch gasped in horror.
Gamma got back up again, but before he could do anything, DK began punching him all over the body rapidly.
POW SMASH WHACK CRASH POW SOCK BANG!!
The robot took the merciless beating to his body and was badly dented all over the place. "Critical damage dealt. Cannot fully recover."
DK proceeded to grab his body and fell backwards to smash the robot's head into the floor in a suplex manner.
CRASH!!
He turned around quick and winded up his arm for a few seconds and then delivered a powerful punch into the fallen robot.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!
"He's coming this way!" Scratch cried. Before the duo had the chance to escape, Gamma flew in their direction and they all rammed together into the wall so hard that they actually went through it!
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!
"Yeah! We got them for real this time!" Diddy exclaimed while dancing happily.
"Oh yeah!" DK cheered while thumping his chest.
Elise looked out from the opening on the door and said, "Did you win?"
"Oh yeah, we have to help her out again," Diddy said. "But she's not going to get through the opening easily due to her big butt."
"That's not very nice…" said Elise, sounding a bit offended.
"Wait a minute… If we cannot break the door, we'll break the wall instead!" DK suggested. He winded up his arm again and this time punched the wall next to the door. It was as he said; a hole was busted on the wall, allowing Elise to come out. "There!"
"Thanks! I knew you would come to help me!" she said happily as she stepped out.
"Now that we rescued the princess, let us tell the others about it!" Diddy said.

Meanwhile, Starfox and the Sonic duo made their way through the hallways smoothly. At least it was smooth for them since their enemies weren't having it that smooth.
After a while, they made it into a large room. "I have a feeling that Eggman is nearby," Sonic said. "If my instincts tell me right…"
They moved forward into the room but then a wall made of light came down in front of them suddenly! "What?!" Fox gasped.
"These are laser walls to halt our progress!" Tails said. "They can burn you if you touch them!"
"Snooping as usual, eh?!" said the voice of Eggman. They looked through the wall and saw Eggman standing behind it in front of a controller. "There is no way you can escape this now!" No sooner after he said this, another laser wall came down behind them.
"Oh no! We're trapped inside!" Fox gasped.
"If we cannot go through it physically, then our guns will do!" Falco said, and he fired his gun at Eggman. However, the laser beam touched the wall and was immediately neutralized. "What?!"
"This wall will prevent everything from going through it! There is nothing you can do about it unless you use some super powerful attack!" Eggman explained. "You must be unfortunate enough to not have any, right?"
"He's right… We do not have our Holy Weapons with us this time…" Fox said.
"Don't think you can keep us in here forever, Eggman!" Sonic said to the scientist.
"Of course; I'm planning to lower the walls again," Eggman said, "but only after you are dead! Take this!" He began controlling the controller and inside the 'room' they were trapped in, the ceiling opened and a glass orb lowered down.
"What's that?" Fox asked curiously.
"That thing will blow you down with powerful plasma beam! You're gonna get incinerated by it if you touch it!"
The orb glowed and charged up, and then a thick column of beam came crashing down from it and struck the floor. The Smashers got out of the way in time, but the energy released from the beam was so devastating that they were blown away.
BANG!!
"Whoa! With a power like that, the floor should be destroyed!" Fox said. "In fact, the whole airship may very be torn apart!"
"You'd I didn't take this into consideration beforehand?" Eggman asked. "I have covered the floor with a strong layer of coating that prevents it from being melted by the beam's devastating heat! No matter how many times I fire the beam, the floor will remain unharmed!"
The orb moved from its original direction and began charging again. "Watch out! It's moving! That will make it easier to hit us!" Tails cried.
The Smashers sprawled out in random directions and each of them hoped that the orb wouldn't come after them. The orb, however, went after Sonic. "Planning to target me?" he asked.
"You bet! I'm going to get rid of you before anyone else!" Eggman said.
The orb finished charging and unleashed the beam, but Sonic's speed allowed him to avoid it in time. After the beam was gone, Sonic turned to the orb and said, "We're not going to get anywhere if we do not destroy it!" And he jumped at the orb and curled into a ball to hit it. However, he fell back down and the orb was unharmed.
"And the orb itself is made from hard material that you cannot break with force!"
"Dang! You're getting better every time!" Sonic said.
"I'll shoot it down then!" Falco said. He pointed his gun at the orb and began firing at it, but the lasers bounced off the orb harmlessly. "Okay, if this doesn't work either, then this! Fire!" Fire appeared around his body and he shot himself in the direction of the orb and rammed into it violently, but he bounced off.
"I told you it's useless!" Eggman said. The orb, which was already charging when Falco fired at it, unleashed the laser and Falco was still underneath it!
Out of desperation, he pulled out his Reflector and angled it slightly, and the beam struck the reflector and was reflected into the wall, but the force of the beam also pushed him onto the floor, though he was unharmed overall.
BANG!
"Whoa… That was close…" Falco said.
"Phew… Good thing our reflectors are very sturdy…" Fox said with a sigh of relief.
Then something came to Falco. "Wait a minute… Didn't he say that the laser wall can only be destroyed by something super powerful?"
"You got lucky that time!" Eggman said. "But not the second time!"
Falco faced Eggman and a smile appeared on his face. "Well, let's try this out then." The orb charged up and began to fire the laser.
"Watch out!" Tails shouted.
The beam fired again and Falco quickly raised the reflector and angled it in the direction of Eggman, and when the beam struck the reflector, it bounced off into that direction too!
"What the?!" Eggman gasped. The beam struck the laser wall and it was powerful enough to penetrate it! Eggman screamed and rolled aside in time as the beam smashed the controller into pieces.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!
Because of the beam's impact, the laser wall on both sides disappeared and thus they were free. "Yeah! We did it!" Tails said.
"I did it!" Falco claimed.
Sonic walked to Eggman and said, "Guess it's your loss!"
"Darn it! Don't think it's over between us!" Eggman said. "I still have tricks up my sleeves!"
Then there the sound of siren and the computer's voice said, "Warning! Enemy spotted flying towards airship!"
"What?! Who is after me again?!" Eggman gasped.
Then at this moment, DK, Diddy, and Elise came into the room. "Hey! We met with the others at last!" Diddy said.
Eggman saw Elise and gasped, "What?! You guys freed her already?! What were Scratch and Grounder doing?!"
"You did a great job!" Fox said to the Kongs.
Then the computer's voice spoke again, "Enemy has landed onto airship. Enemy has landed onto airship." As soon as it said this, they heard a thumping sound on the ceiling.
THUMP!
"Huh? What was that?" Fox wondered.
The thumping became louder and louder, and then the ceiling started to dent in certain placed too! "What the?! What's up there?!" Eggman wondered.
Then a hole pierced in the ceiling above Eggman as something brown and sharp penetrated it. Eggman screamed in fear and scurried over to the Smashers' side. More holes were pierced on the ceiling, and then with a great crash, something crashed through the ceiling and landed in front of them.
Everyone gasped in shock upon the appearance of the newcomer. It was a large monster with the body and wings of a moth, tail and legs of a scorpion, and the head resembling a dinosaur's. It also had razor sharp teeth and intimidating red eyes—Type M.
"What is that?!" Tails gasped.
"Doesn't look like something Eggman would make!" Sonic said.
The moth-like monster looked around the place before settlings it eyes on the Smashers, especially Elise. It let out a screeching sound of sorts and began to approach them slowly. "I have every reason to believe that this monster is related to the Failures!" Fox said. "If that's the case, Elise is in danger!"
Eggman trembled with fright violently and crawled to the door at the back, and then he got up and made a run for it. "I'm out here! You guys do something about the freak!"
"Eggman is getting away!" Tails said. "And we haven't asked him for the Chaos Emeralds yet!"
"Worry about that later! We got bigger company here!" Sonic said.
"We must protect the princess!" DK said. The Smashers gathered together and got in front of Elise to shield her.
Type M's tail then extended forward and to the side, and with a single swipe, it batted away the Smashers into the wall.
CRASH!
"OW!"
Elise gasped as they were knocked down but was even more afraid when the monster approached her. Type M opened its mouth and sprayed white dust from its mouth. Elise used her hand to shield herself from the dust, but as the dust touched her, she began to feel herself harder and harder to move and a thin layer of what looked like silk also began to cover her up.
Fox looked up and said, "Oh no! The monster is cocooning her!"
"Dammit!" Sonic got up and rushed at the monster to attack it. Type M slammed down its tail to try and hit him, but Sonic jumped back in time to avoid getting hit and rushed for Elise. He grabbed her and pulled her out of her location in time before she got fully cocooned, but she was covered in a fair amount of silk. "You all right?"
"I'm fine…" she said, her voice sounding hoarse.
Type M turned to their direction and glared at them menacingly while giving off a screeching sound. "You'll have to get through me first!" Sonic said to it.
Suddenly, there was the sound of explosion and the whole place shook violently. "What now?!" Falco said.
Fox received a phone call and he answered it, "Hello?"
"Wolf here," said Wolf's voice. "Just now we destroyed the main engine and reactor of the airship."
"What?! Who told you to do that?!"
"We thought this would make things easier to deal with. Anyway, what's done is done. Hurry up to the Wolfens or else we'll take off without you!" And the call ended.
"Dang… How are we going to get ourselves out of this mess…?" Fox grumbled.
TO BE CONTINUED
Perhaps the battle with Gamma isn't the best as it looks one-sided. I admit that I have the tendency of making the good guys super strong…
Trivia:
1. Take Eggman's phrase: Snooping as usual, eh? Now type the bolded letters into a search site and combine and merge them together, meaning no space. Try to see what results you come up with, heheh!
2. The Gamma used here is the one from Sonic Battles, not from Sonic Adventure. Both are different Gammas in case you didn't know.
