Paula-Ana: Are the memebrs of Gamfax based off actual users?
Game2002: I could base them off actual users, but I didn't want to go too far in making fun of people, so the members of Gamfax are based off how the people in GameFaqs are usually like as a whole.
Guest: Have you been to Sega's forum?
Game2002: No.
Maric: Are some of the True Fans members old enemies who changed their names or completely different?
Game2002: Only Noc is, and his name is the same. I didn't answer your question until now because I want to wait for Noc to appear first in order to be able to answer you.
Chapter 8
Deal With It
"What's that-a about-a nuclear bomb?!" Mario asked the Green King. "What on earth are you planning on doing?!"
"One of our members happens to be a soldier at a military base that is in possession of nuclear weapons," explained the Green King. "The nuclear bomb is a terrifying weapon that is feared throughout the world, and it is without doubt the perfect weapon for destroying the greatest evil of them all!"
"Who or what are you going to destroy?" asked Mega Man.
"The creator of the Super Smash Brothers series!" replied the Green King loudly and angrily. "He is the greatest of all evils!"
"Why him?" asked Samus.
"No man is capable of greater evil than him!" replied the Green King. "Long has he ignored the pleas of people for certain characters to be playable, cutting characters, and putting in all sorts of things nobody asked for! He is a complete monster in every…"
"That settles it!" interrupted Falco loudly and angrily. "I've heard enough of your childish and unreasonable tantrums! What further proof..." Before he could finish speaking, the Fiery Hate rushed at him at a fast speed and punched him away.
"People like you who support corrupted businesses have no right to criticize us!" said the Fiery Hate. He then turned to Fox, Snake, and Samus to attack them, but they defended themselves by either moving away or blocking.
"I won't-a let you get-a away with theez!" Mario said to the Green King as he ran towards him. The latter fired his gun at the plumber, but he dodged it and then got close to him to punch him across the face.
The Green King readjusted his mask after recovering from the hit and fired at Mario again, only to miss the second time. Mario was going to attack him again, but the Fiery Hate fired a blast of energy from his palm to blast him away. The Fiery Hate was going to shoot Mario the second time, but after the shot was fired, a blue blur rushed straight at Mario and carried him out of harm's way in the nick of time.
"Gotcha in time!" said the blue blur when it came to a stop.
"Sonic!" Mario said to his savior in surprise after being put onto the ground.
"Yep! That's me!" said Sonic while pointing to himself. "Surprised to see you here!"
"We rushed here as soon as we found out what's-a happening," Mario told him.
"Well, I'm here on a trip," said Sonic, "and I'm getting more than I bargained for, which is great!" He then turned to the Fiery Hate. "So that's the guy who escaped from prison and took the suit of the guy I beat up a few days ago, eh? If I can beat someone in that suit before, I can surely do it again! Now sit back and watch a pro do his job!" After adjusting his brown neckerchief a bit, he ran straight at the Fiery Hate.
The Fiery Hate fired blasts of energy at the blue hedgehog, but the latter jumped over it and landed behind him before ramming into his back hard to make him fall forward. The Fiery Hate then used thrusters located underneath the suit's feet to shoot forward before positioning himself upright.
Sonic was going to make another move when Wolf called out to him, "Stay out of this! He's ours!"
"Don't be so stingy! Why not share the fun with other people?" Sonic asked him.
"We're turning him in to get some cash, so do yourself a favor and keep your hands off our prey!" Wolf told him.
"You can have all the cash you want! All I'm asking for is a bit of participation in things!" said Sonic.
While the Fiery Hate was keeping his attackers busy, the Green King quickly slipped away a bit of a distance, and then he noticed a plane approaching from the distance. Everyone else noticed the plane when it came closer, and then the plane lowered altitude before lowering a very long rope ladder while heading towards the Green King's direction. He knew at once that it was coming for him.
After grabbing onto the ladder and getting carried away by the plane, Fox looked at him making his getaway and said, "That plane! It's a heavy bomber! If what he said earlier is to be believed, it must be carrying a nuclear bomb!"
"Then we must go after him!" said Falco desperately. "Where is he headed?"
"He said he's going after the creator of the Super Smash Brothers series," replied Fox. "If I remember correctly, he is Japanese, so that means… He's headed for Japan!"
"I'll go after him!" said Samus as she ran for her gunship, and Fox, Falco, and Snake tagged along.
"We're coming along!" Fox told her. "Someone needs to get into the plane and take control of it! Destroying it is out of question, as that'll set off the bomb!"
"Fox is right!" said Snake.
When the Fiery Hate saw them heading for the gunship, he was going to fire at it, but Mega Man quickly threw himself in front of the energy blast and took it to himself. "Mega Man!" Fox gasped when he saw what the robot did.
Mega Man, however, wasn't hurt very much by the shot. "Don't worry about me! This is the least I can do to help! You go and stop that masked man from using the nuclear bomb!"
The four Smashers quickly went into the gunship, and Samus wasted no time in making it take off. The Fiery Hate was going to use the suit's thrusters to go after them, but Mario jumped at him from behind and socked him in the head, knocking him back onto the ground. He angrily turned to Mario while swinging his hand at him to knock him back.
The round, yellow being came up to Mario to help him up. "Are you all right?" he asked the plumber.
"I'm fine," said Mario.
Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and the round being were standing somewhat close to each other when the Fiery Hate turned to look at them, and then he shouted, "I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!"
It was a good thing that Samus's gunship was faster than the heavy bomber, so catching up with it was easy. However, by the time she caught up with it, they were already out at sea.
She positioned the gunship above the plane, and then the hatch at the top opened for Fox, Falco, and Snake to come out and jump onto the top of it. Using a welding torch he borrowed from Samus, Fox managed to create a circular hole on the surface and then jumped inside with the other two.
In there, they saw the Green King and four soldiers standing close to the cockpit, and when the former turned around, they saw a thick missile.
"It's a nuke all right…" said Snake while looking at the missile.
"Get them!" shouted the Green King while pointing at the Smashers. Three of the soldiers ran to attack them, while the remaining one continued to pilot the plane.
The Smashers engaged the three opponents, and because the latter had military training, they managed to put up a bit of a fight against them. However, they eventually overcame their foes and knocked them out, and then Falco ran towards the cockpit to gain control of the plane.
The Green King took out a gun to shoot Falco, but the latter pushed him out of the way before he had the chance to fire and then went for the pilot. Snake grabbed the Green King by the collar and angrily said to him, "Stop this madness at once! What you're planning to do is nothing short of mass genocide! You're going to end up killing more than just the person you're after!"
"Seriously? All this over a video game?" Fox asked in disbelief. "Are you seriously going to lay waste to an entire city and kill millions of people just because someone didn't make video games the way you like?!"
"I will tell the citizens to flee the city first, or else I will kill them all, because by not agreeing with what I said about what the creator did, they are all evil and thus deserve to die!" replied the Green King.
"You're out of your mind! What has gotten into you?! I can understand why you want to kill someone if he did things like killing your loved ones! All he did was make games that don't suit your taste, and you're killing him with a nuke for this?!"
"People like you will never understand! You will never understand the pain of not getting characters we want playable, characters we love getting cut in new installments, adding characters nobody asked for, certain series not getting enough representation, and addition of contents from games we despise!" the Green King angrily shouted at him. "THAT MAN DARE DO ALL THOSE THINGS! HE IS THE DEVIL! ANYONE WITH THE RIGHT MIND WOULD NEVER MAKE THOSE ABOMINABLE DECISIONS AND INSTEAD GIVE HIS CUSTOMERS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THEY WANT! SOMEONE LIKE HIM IS NOT FIT TO LIVE! WITH HIS DEATH, THE SMASH BROTHERS SERIES WILL THEN BE MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEONE WHO WILL GIVE FANS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT!"
Snake had heard enough. This was absolutely everything he had to hear to prove that the Green King was a hopeless case of a spoiled child who threw tantrums over everything not going his way. In rage, he flung the Green King into the air in the direction of the missile, and he landed on top of it.
At the same time, Falco was struggling with the pilot. The former slammed the latter's head against a certain button on the control panel with enough force to knock him out. When the button was pressed by his head, the floor underneath the nuclear bomb opened, dropping it off the plane along with the Green King, a sight that shocked Fox and Snake.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the Green King as he fell along with the bomb while reaching out his hand in vain towards the plane.
The nuclear bomb fell onto a barren islet made entirely out of rock and exploded, completely annihilating it. The resulting explosion, needless to say, incinerated the Green King to nothingness in a matter of seconds.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Luckily, the heavy bomber managed to fly away from the range of the explosion in time, but it was still rocked around violently and lost altitude as a result. Fortunately, Fox was able to get the plane under control before it hit the sea.
From the shore, everyone could see a large mushroom-shaped explosion over the horizon, and all were shocked at the sight of it and wondered what happened there that resulted in a nuclear explosion.
Bowser grabbed I am Life and flung him into the sky for Ganondorf to fire several balls of dark energy at him. All but one hit him, and the one that missed struck the wall above the department store's door, blasting off chunks of it.
I am Life fell back down, only to quickly get back up like he wasn't hurt at all. He let out a cry of anger while running towards Ganondorf, who kicked him straight in the abdomen to send him flying back several feet. The Gerudo wasted no time in running up to him, grabbing him by the head, and then slamming his forehead against a metal rod that was sticking out of one of the chunks of the wall.
Instead of I am Life's head being impaled by the metal rod, the latter sank into the debris, much to the surprise of Ganondorf. The former angrily swung his hand at the Gerudo, but the latter easily blocked it before pushing his head against the debris and slamming him against it over and over nonstop until the debris shattered. He then lifted him into the air by the head before punching him hard in the body to send him flying back.
Despite all this, I am Life stood back up without a single wound on his body, not even signs of tiredness. "What is with this guy?!" asked Bowser in disbelief. "He should be dead after everything we did to him!"
"There are people out there with superpowers, but I have to admit that he is something…" commented Ganondorf.
I am Life was going to run at them when he was suddenly shot in the back of his leg by arrows fired by Link. However, the arrows bounced off him harmlessly, and when he turned around, Marth ran at him at a fast speed and slashed him in the waist while dashing past him, but he only succeeded in pushing him back onto the ground.
I am Life angrily stood back up and attacked Marth, but the latter easily avoided his punch and then slashed him diagonally across the body. Link ran at him afterwards and slashed him in the body as well.
Ganondorf and Bowser joined the two swordsmen in attacking him, and all four did so nonstop mercilessly, not giving him the chance to get up.
Suddenly, everyone was taken by surprise by the sound of an explosion that came from afar.
"What was that sound?" asked Mega Man.
"Sounds like a bomb just-a went off," replied Mario.
"Don't tell me your friends did something like setting off the nuclear bomb early!" said the Fiery Hate angrily.
"If that's the case, then there's every reason for us to be happy!" said Sonic. "Too bad your plan didn't come to fruition!"
"NOOOOOOOOOO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE!" Noc suddenly shouted as he ran towards Sonic with his club raised over his head. The hedgehog jumped aside to dodge the club swing and then another one, and then he gave the caveman a roundhouse kick to the side of his head to knock him onto the ground. The club flew off his hand and fell onto his head, knocking him out.
"No to change? What are you talking about?" asked a confused Sonic. Since he wasn't going to get an answer from him at the moment, he decided to ignore him and focus on the Fiery Hate instead.
The Fiery Hate fired energy blasts from his hands constantly at Mario and Wolf, who swiftly dodged them. The latter eventually activated his reflector built into his suit to send the shots flying back to him. Mario then ran towards the Fiery Hate, jumped at him, and punched him across the face hard.
The Fiery Hate struggled to retain his balance, and then he was hit from behind by a flying headbutt from the round, yellow being and thus knocked on his front. He quickly got back up, however, and turned to the round being to shoot him, but he tossed himself to the side in the nick of time.
Sonic then struck him in the shoulder in the form of a ball so hard that cracks actually appeared on the shoulder pad. Crying in anger, the Fiery Hate turned to Sonic to punch him, only to miss. Mario and Wolf then closed in on him and punched and kicked him nonstop, pushing him back with each hit. Mario then slammed a hand full of fire against his abdomen to blast him backwards.
By this time, the Fiery Hate's suit was damaged pretty badly and short-circuiting. He looked up and angrily glared at his attackers, and Mario said, "Give up! The explosion just-a now implies that da nuclear bomb did not go off in da right-a place, so your plan haz failed! Surrenda at-a once!"
"The world will never become a better place if heroes like us surrender! What makes you think you can make us give up so easily?!" the Fiery Hate angrily asked him.
"For starters, what you're doing is not heroism!" Sonic told him.
"You people are doing all this out of childish selfishness!" added Mega Man.
"And you get innocent people involved in your so-called acts of heroism!" said the round being.
"You do not-a have what-a eet takes to be a real hero!" Mario said to him. "Like what-a we said-a before: a real hero…"
"SILENCE!" interrupted the Fiery Hate at the top of his voice. "YOU ARE ALL SPAWNS OF EVIL WHO ARE DEFENDING EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD AND MAKING SURE THAT ALL THOSE SUFFERING OUT THERE WILL NEVER RECEIVE JUSTICE AND HAPPINESS! YOU TEAM UP WITH EVIL CORPORATIONS TO STEP ALL OVER PEOPLE AND STEAL OUR MONEY! YOU SEE TO IT THAT WE ARE LEECHED OF ALL OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY AND RECEIVE USELESS AND TERRIBLE PRODUCTS IN RETURN! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS THE DEVIL!"
He then fired energy blasts at them, but they all avoided it by running aside, except for Mega Man, who slid underneath the projectiles and towards him. When the robot got in front of him, he quickly got back up and delivered an uppercut to his abdomen.
"You may not be able to get everything you want in the world," said the round being as he jumped at the Fiery Hate to kick him in the side of the head.
Sonic curled up into a ball and hit him in the back while continuing what the round being said. "But that doesn't give you the right to use violence to resolve things!"
Mario then jumped at him with his fist on fire. "Sometimes you just have to accept-a reality! Not-a everything will go exactly the way you want-a!"
After the Fiery Hate was knocked back some steps by the plumber, Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and the round being stood on four sides of him and then ran and jumped together towards him with their fists pulled up.
"SO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!" they shouted out loud simultaneously right before punching him in the head from four sides.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
With a badly swollen face, a broken nose, and lots of broken teeth, the Fiery Hate finally fell back and passed out, while the suit continued to short-circuit. At the same time, the rest of the Smashers came out of the department store and saw the Fiery Hate lying on the ground, and they were glad to see that things appeared to have been settled.
Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and the round being then gave each other a high five while saying, "We did it!"
TO BE CONTINUED
I think Mega Man being unable to hurt humans only applies to using his Mega Buster on them or using any other fatal moves, so doing things like punching people to knock them out should be fine.
