Are you familiar with the TV Tropes website? Many fanfic authors have their stories there.
Game2002: Yes; my Touhou: Journey to the Smashing Beyond and also my username got mentioned there in a page about fanfiction crossovers.


JakeCrusher: Mechonis is populated by KILLER ROBOTS and Bionis is also quite a dangerous place, so it is doubtful that travel agencies would allow people to go to the place.
Game2002: There will be differences regarding that in this series.


M.G.: Does the government or someone in it know about what the Smashers did in the Yukkuri world, since they began producing Hand-related weapons to fight the Destructor? And if the Smashers are going to Bionis and Mechanis for vacation, will those places be like "gameplay" canon or post-game canon?
Game2002: The government is already aware of the Destructor's resurrection before Master Hand told the Smashers about it and have been getting ready to fight it, so it doesn't matter whether or not they are aware of the Smashers going to the Yukkuri world, but if you really want to know, they do.

As for the vacation, if it does happen, those places are going to be peaceful, as Homs and Mechons are not at war with each other at all, but that doesn't mean the events of the game happened in this continuity that caused that, since not everything in my series follow the original exactly. I would appreciate it if people think outside the box regarding this…

Also, please work on your grammar…


I'm glad that you reviewers are, for the most part, very sensible and positive people in regards to Mega Man! It's unfortunate that people who think negatively are very vocal, so much that as much as I wish to speak out my mind to them about what I said in the previous chapter, I'll either become a laughing stock, have my argument countered badly somehow, or ignored. Plus, I've seen people defending Capcom and Mega Man before, and if they really did succeed in convincing people, I don't think I would have posted that in the previous chapter… You know what I mean…

On a related note, when Mega Man was first revealed to be in SSB4, a few people seem to think that Nintendo did it behind their backs!

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy this story!

Chapter 5
Fiery Hate


"I'm worried about the Green King…" said Pikachu during dinner. "He's been missing since the day he kidnapped Luigi, but he managed to convince people to cause trouble during his absence… What if he's secretly planning on something big and pull it off when we least expect it?"

"You're worrying too much, like always," Kirby said to him with a mouthful of fried rice. "Even if he does, what's stopping us from beating him up like we always do to troublemakers we've encountered in the past? Someone like him can't be a threat at all, no matter what he throws at us."

"Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about him," agreed Yoshi with a mouthful. "He's just a normal guy. How dangerous can he be?"

"Word is power," Mewtwo told him. "Strength does not necessarily determine a person's power. Being able to convince people with thoughtful and powerful words can also make one powerful. The Green King may not be a threat when it comes to strength, but the fact that he was able to convince people to stir up trouble is something to take note of."

"You'd think the Destructor's appearance in San Pedro Sula three weeks ago would convince people to stop killing each other and destroying things…" said Link.

"Maybe at least that place…" said Zelda.

"Officials have yet to make any statements on that place having a lower murder rate than before," said R.O.B. as he opened the door to the room, and then he left.

"Anyway, let's not worry about something that doesn't concern us currently," said Link. "Like Kirby said, the Green King doesn't look like someone who poses a threat, so whatever he does next, I'm sure we can easily stop him.


Two guards were walking through the hallway of a prison located somewhere in America. All was quiet, and no inmates appeared to be doing anything shady or plotting of escape.

As they walked past in front of a door leading into a room containing equipment and weapons confiscated from the inmates, the former suddenly exploded, blowing them back. They quickly sat back up, and as the smoke was clearing, they saw a person wearing some kind of an orange high-tech suit that made the wear looked bulky, and he was also wearing a visor that concealed his eyes.

The person pointed his hands at the guards and fired blasts of energy from blasters on their wrists to send them flying, badly injuring them and knocking them out. Another guard stepped out of the room and said to him, "C'mon, let's go before too many guards come!" The man in the high-tech suit nodded before running in a certain direction with him.


Dr. Mario was reading the morning newspaper in the dining room while eating breakfast, and as more and more Smashers came into the room, he turned the paper around to show them the big headline. "Check this out."

"Pompus Rath escapes from prison?" asked Link. "Wait, who's that again?"

"He's the guy who attacked Compac out of anger for their marketing decisions," Fox reminded him. "A boxer named Little Mac was able to stop him."

"It says here that a guard took him into the storage room for confiscated equipment and weapons," explained Dr. Mario as he looked at the article again. "There, he used the high-tech suit used by Doctor Horror to break out of prison."

"Who's Doctor Horror?" asked Diddy.

"That bank robber stopped by Sonic some days ago," replied the doctor.

"What kind of name is Doctor Horror?!" asked Falco. "That sounds ridiculously cheesy! It sounds like a comic book supevillain name from the 40s or something!"

"Some people lack creativity," said Ganondorf.

"The guard who helped him wasn't someone from the prison," explained Dr. Mario while looking at the paper. "The guard he replaced was found bound in the storage room, where he said to have been knocked out from behind without a warning."

"Who would want to rescue a bad guy?" asked Pichu.

"His friend!" replied Jigglypuff.

"You have a point," said Pichu after thinking about it for a second.

"The police have put up a reward for catching Rath," answered Dr. Mario. "$3,000 for bringing him back alive."

"That's quite an amount! Too bad we live in Eagleland, and I'm not sure if it's worth the time to fly to another country to catch an escaped convict," commented Captain Falcon.


Meanwhile, a certain mercenary team located in Seattle learned about this news and the reward offered for capturing Rath.

"They're even offering extra for returning the suit used by Doctor Horror in a good condition," said Leon while reclined on a chair and looking at the article about Rath. "Sounds like a good deal to me! What say we head over to California and look for this guy? We haven't done much around these days, so we're in a bit of need for cash."

Wolf was watching the news on television about the same thing, and then he said, "You know we don't really make moves unless people contact us first, but…" He turned to his two teammates. "You have a point there."

"Then I'll take that as a 'yes?'" asked the chameleon with a smile.


Sonic and Tails were walking down the street, and the latter was looking at the news on his smartphone.

"If I can beat up that guy when he was wearing that suit, I'm sure I can handle this guy as well! Assuming that he shows up in it to cause trouble," said Sonic after hearing from Tails about the details.

"Honestly speaking, the way Doctor Horror moved around in that suit looked like he doesn't know how to use it very much, so it's no surprise that you managed to defeat him with ease," said Tails.

"I doubt it'll be that big of a difference," said Sonic.

"My purse!" shouted the voice of a woman all of a sudden. The two turned to see a man making off on a motorcycle with a purse in his hand, and some round, yellow beings were looking at him in shock.

Wasting no time, Sonic ran after the robber and caught up with him in a split second. He forcefully pulled him off his bike, along with the purse, and brought him in front of the woman he stole the purse from, and he was confused and surprised at his sudden change of location. The motorcycle fell sideways due to having no rider. The police came afterwards to arrest the robber.

"Thank you very much for reclaiming my purse!" the round, yellow woman said to Sonic as he gave back her purse.

"You're welcome!" said the blue hedgehog.

"Thank you very much for helping my wife!" said her husband. "How can we ever thank you?"

"No need! Helping people is a given! Being able to be thanked is good enough! Be careful next time!" said Sonic before walking away with Tails, while the family consisting of three round, yellow beings with black eyes continued to thank him.


After escaping from prison with the help of one of its guards, Rath was taken by some people to a hideout and learned that his rescue was planned by the Green King, who had come to America, and the guard was actually a disguised intruder sent by him.

The Green King explained to Rath his motives and plans, and the latter fully agreed with what he said.

"We will begin whenever you wish to do so," the Green King told him. "After all, you are the one who made us realize that we have to step up and put an end to evil in the business industry. You are our founding father! Therefore, we shall do whatever you tell us to do! Every one of us is ready to follow your orders!"

Behind the Green King, several people could be seen. Rath observed them for a bit and then asked him, "How did you manage to get so many people to side with you in a short amount of time?"

"I know most of these people from the website Gamfax," replied the Green King. "We were like brothers there and shared several opinions and beliefs, and we would go against anyone who does not agree with us together. Even after the website was shut down, we continued to stay in touch with each other on different websites, where we continue to hold onto our beliefs and share helpful information with each other.

"After learning about what you did, we talked together about this and decided to continue what you started. We ultimately decided that it was time for all of us to meet in person to form a team of heroes that will end evil once and for all. After deciding on a meeting place, we all came together and decided that we should rescue you from prison. After all, you are a good man imprisoned wrongfully."

Rath liked what he heard. He was glad that there were many people who shared his beliefs and supported him. "You have my respect! I am very touched that you are willing to go this far to support me! We shall indeed put an end to corruption in business once and for all! Customers shall no longer have to suffer under the hands of greedy corporations that either offer flawed products and services or don't give them what they want! They will have to suffer for not satisfying us!"

"Indeed! Customers are always right! Businesses exist to satisfy people, but some of them are not doing that! We shall let them know that businesses that do not give customers everything they want are corrupted and do not deserve to exist! They shall pay dearly for breaking this golden rule!"

"They shall have a taste of our anger and hate!" continued Rath. "Anyone who does not agree with us and tries to defend them is no better than them!"

"Indeed! What we are doing is for the good of everyone, yet some people refuse to see us as the heroes that we truly are!" said the Green King. "People who think like that are clouded by evil! Anyone who is against us is on the side of evil!"

"We will show them our true power!" said Rath as he stood up while slowly raising his hands. "It is time for this evil to come to an end! We shall pour out our soul, sweat, and heart into putting an end to this once and for all!"

When the others heard this, they raised their hands and cried out loud in agreement, "YEAH!"

"Companies that do not listen to us clearly hate us, that's why they keep shoving things we don't want and like into our faces!" said Rath, who had his hands high in the air by this time. "If they hate us, we shall show them our burning hate! Henceforth, I shall be called the Fiery Hate!"


TO BE CONTINUED

Since the Destructor is the embodiment of death and destruction, I'd figured that it would be resurrected in a place with a large amount of killings, so I looked things up and chose San Pedro Sula, a city in Honduras.

Trivia:
1. Star Wolf being based in Seattle is a reference to Wolf's SSBB's voice actor, Jay Ward, being based there.
