Crow: Continuing from our previous update the other day, we have the true final battle!
Me: Haze's dark magic is mutating poor Branz into a horrific beast with all the skills the Zangoose possessed, plus extra abilities brought about by the spell placed on him. Get ready for a battle that both the worlds of Mario and Pokemon wont soon forget! Also, pay close attention to what battle field the heroes fight on. Those who recognize the battle field will get the other stuff that occurs during this chapter. Those who don't get it will get an explanation at the end of the chapter.
Zane: Get ready, 'cause the bell has sounded. The final round begins now! (rings a bell, like those seen in boxing matches)
MMSB: Clever.
Chapter 49: Final Rush
Branz's body began mutating from the spell Haze placed on the poor Zangoose, but ranz was still struggeling to contain it despite how futile it was. Haze then said to the heroes, "There, my job is done. Now, my servent will kill all of you with his newfound power! I'd take you out myself, but I have a lot to work to do."
That's when Kooper yelled, "Absolutely typical. You guys are too afraid to fight for yourselves, and rely on some pawn to do your dirty work!" Haze then said to Kooper, "As much as I hate being cliche, I have no choice. I wish you all an unhappy death and an even worse afterlife. Farewell!"
When the spectral, disembodied claws vanished from sight, Branz began to grow bigger, and his mucsles began to bulk up as well. Ash turned to HO-OH, and asked, "Can't you do something!?" HO-OH shook his head, and said, "I'm terribly sorry... That spell separated that poor Zangoose's soul from his body, and it was then sent to the underworld... My powers will have no effect now..."
Crow then asked, "Why didn't you do something sooner!?!" HO-OH then said, "I feared that trying to rescue Branz would have only done more harm than help... That monster could have either captured me and used my powers for his own ends, or he could have killed Goldie in retaliation."
The group then head a powerful roar erupt from where Branz was struggeling. The now noticed that Branz now had four arms, and each fore arm had a scythe-like blade running down the side. Each hand was enveloped in black flames, and the claws were longer too. The feathers on Branz's back grew out longer and longer until they looked like he had a hundred yellow-colored Articuno tail feathers glued to his back. His nose grew out until it made his face look more like a dog's face, and his mouth was lined with more teeth. His body was so bulked up with muscles, he could have made a Machamp jealous, and he now stood over twenty feet high. Finally, his fluffy tail lost it's fur, and became scaley and grew over twenty feet long, and had the same blade edge the Dentes Rhohos had.
Once the transformation was complete, Branz roared once more, sending shivers up everyone's spine. Suddenly, they heard the voice of Haze say, "Oh, before I forget; I wish for you to fight on a field that the plumbers, the electric rat, the ape, and the gluttonous lizard will be very familiar with!"
Before either Clay, Luigi, Pikachu, DK, or Yoshi could ask what Haze had ment, the whole room changed from a battlefield inside a spaceship to a large flat plane floating in space. The field was fairly large, possibly measuring around 150 to 200 square feet in all directions from the center point. The field was also octogonal in shape, and was colored black and purple mostly with some yellow mixed in.
Clay, Pikachu, Luigi, DK, and Yoshi recognized the field immedeately. "F-f-f-final Destination..." Luigi choked out. "Say what?" Jessie asked. Luigi then said, "This is the Final Destination battlefield! This was, as it's name implies, the last field me, Clay, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu fought on back when Master Hand and Crazy Hand put us through the Smash Bros. tournaments!"
Haze then said, "Yes, it's Final Destination! And it will also be the site of your final battle, GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly, the battlefield began flying through the space-time continuum as the monsterous Demon Branz fired a Hyper Beam at the group. HO-OH blocked the blast with a Protect attack, and then said, "I'll try to help the best I can! Just do what you kids do best, and fight!"
HO-OH flew to a safe distance as Branz lunged towards the heroes. Zane fired a Bombs Away attack at Branz, and managed to stop the beast in his tracks. As soon as Branz shook off the hit, he charged power into the large feathers in his back, and fired them off at the heroes.
Clay, acting on instinct fired a blast of icy mist out from his hands to freeze the deadly feathers, which then dropped to the ground and shattered like cheap glass.
"How did he use Pin Missle!?" Ash yelled as he was clearly suprised by the attack. Brock then said, "That spell must have given Branz the ability to do attacks that Zangoose normally are incabable of using! Watch out for anything!"
Meriee then said, "Let me try something!" She raised her hands, and began chanting in a strange tounge as a burst of light shot from her hands, and impacted Branz. Sadly, her Holy attack spell had no effect due to her inexperiance. Branz grabbed hold of Meriee and decided to use her as a shield.
Zane was clearly pissed off at this cowardly act, and rushed in and delivered a Triple Kick to Branz's face. Suprisingly, the attack actually damages Branz, but not enough to force Branz to let go. As Zane continued to try and attack Branz with whatever he could think of, Crow said, "Man, how are we gonna take him down!?"
Yoshi looked into Zane's bag, and saw that they all still had a large amount of power up items from the Musroom Kingdom. Yoshi then said, "Yoshi have idea!"
-----------------------
When the heroes started fighting, no one noticed that the Final Destination battlefield had crossed into another dimension. The strangest thing was that they appeared in outer space, and weren't suffering from the deadly vacuum of space.
Some distance away, a large ship appeared. It was a majestic starship with two large cannons on the front, and had three powerful plasma engines. The decal on the sides were of a fox, and there was but one word written on both sides of the ship; Starfox.
On board the ship were a small group of anthromorphic animals, and one robot. The animals that made the crew were two foxes, one being a the average Red Fox, and the other had cerulean-colored fur. There was also a frog and a blue falcon as well.
The bird was pacing around the bridge of the ship, apparently bored. He thrived on action, and there hadn't been any since the team's last mission where they fought a race of evil fish. The frog was also bored, but didn't show it as he was patient, unlike his feathered friend. Finally, the bird's pacing got to the young frog, so the amphibian said, "Falco, why don't you go play some of the video games I made for the team?"
The bird, known as Falco, said, "Played 'em, beat 'em, and lost intrest in 'em." The frog then said, "Well stop pacing, you're making me nervous!" "Excuuuuuuse me, Princess Slippy! I had no idea I bugged you so much!" Falco said in a very sarcastic tone.
The leader of the team, the Red Fox, appropriately named Fox McCloud, then said, "Guys, please stop. Falco, if you want we can have a sparring match in a few minutes, ok?" Falco then said, "Anything to deal with this boring patrol! We hadn't had any action since we beat the Angulars, and after Krystal finally forgave you for what happened when you broke up the team after the Aparoid invasion."
At that moment, the blue fox, Krystal said, "Wait, guys the radar's picking something up..." Falco, having breathed a sigh of relief, said, "What is it? A group of space pirates that need to be put in their place? A group of space thugs tormenting some tourists?"
Fox rolled his eyes, and said, "Come on Falco, ease up." The robot, ROB/NUS 64, or ROB as his shipmates call him, then said, "Object is not in any of my databases. It is of unknown origin, and is covered by a dome powered by an unusual energy source. The dome seems to keep in air, which is fortunate as scanners detect life forms on the object's surface."
Fox then said, "Can you bring it up on screen, ROB?" ROB then said, "Affirmative." ROB launched a surveilance probe to the object they found, and gave the Starfox team a clear look at what the object was. Fox and Falco's faces paled at the sight of the Final Destination field, which they believed to be long gone after the last Smash Bros. tournament.
Slippy noticed the people on the battlefield, Branz in particular, then said, "Wha-what is that thing!?!!" Krystal then said, "I don't know, but whatever it is, it's emmiting a powerful evil magic force!" ROB then said, "Scanners show dome is impassable, so we cannot give assistance to the people fighting. Even if we could, we'd likely accidentally kill them by exposing them to the vacuum of space."
Slippy then said, "But what can we do!? Those guys look like they need help!!! What do you think Fox? Fox...?" When Slippy, Krystal, and ROB turned to Fox and Falco, they saw how scared they were, which was very uncharacteristic of either of them. Krystal, figuring something was up, probed Fox's mind with her ESP ability. But Fox sensed her presence in his mind and broke it off.
Krystal then said, "Ok Fox, talk. You and Falco are hiding something from us, and it has something to do with that battlefield." Falco looked at Fox, completely unsure of what to do. Fox then said, "Ok, we'll tell you..." Falco was alarmed at this, and said, "Fox, are you outta your mind!?"
Fox then said, "We were crazy trying to keep this secret. I had a feeling that when Krystal first joined the team we would be forced to tell her, Peppy, ROB, and Slippy the story..." Falco threw his arms in the air, and said, "Ok, you can tell them everything, but I don't want any part of it! I'm going to my room." Falco left the bridge, leaving Fox alone to recount the events of the Smash Bros. tournaments.
Krystal, even though she forgave fox for breaking up the team and driving her away from him, still had a few small resentful feelings towards Fox. Those feelings faded when she heard Fox's story of how he, and other people from other dimensions were tricked into participating in the Smash Bros. tournaments, which were made to kill the participants so the organizer of the tournaments could rule the universe unopposed. If Fox died during either of these tournaments, she would have never met him, and she would have died on Sauria when General Scales rose to power. Not only that, the Aparoids would have been able to flood the Lylat system without any problem, and who knew what else could have happened.
Slippy then said, "We gotta tell Peppy!" Fox cringed at the thought, but said, "He wont be happy with me for keeping secrets, but I have no choice. It is our duty to keep the peace, and to help the military whenever they need it. We also gotta report all suspicious activity we see as well to General Peppy. ROB, open a communications line to Peppy's office on Corneria."
The robot opened the channel without question. But just then the Final Destination field phazed out of the Lylat System.
-----------------------
As Final Destination traveled through the Space-Time Continuum again, Yoshi's plan was put into action. Having been strengthened by a Starman, Donkey Kong rushed Branz, and delivered a strong kick to his face. While he was knocked back by the hit, Zane, having put back on his Hammer Suit, threw a hammer at the hand holding Meriee, and was able to free her. Zane quickly caught her before she hit the ground, resulting in the two of them blushing like mad.
Zane quickly snapped out of it, and asked, "Are you ok?" Meriee nodded, as she couldn't find her voice at the moment. Zane then heard Meowth say, "Hey, Mushroom Boy, get your spores back over here!!!!" Zane quickly did as he was told, as he needed to get Meriee to relative saftey.
Branz tried another Pin Missle, which no one had time to block, so everyone was running and jumping trying to avoid the lethal barrage of feather missles. Branz then tried to bring one of his hands down for a Crush Claw attack, but DK caught the move in mid-swing, and used every ounce of his strength to send Branz against the invisible dome keeping everyone in.
When Branz got up, he was staring at a flurry of fire balls, launched by Vivian, who had absorbed a Fire Flower to strengthen her already formidable fire powers. Her normally purple body was now red, and her hat was white and orange rather than white and magenta. She launched a few more fireballs, which exploded with great force when they collided with Branz.
There was no question Branz felt that, and retailiated with Hyper Beam as a result. HO-OH quickly blocked with Protect in the nick of time. HO-OH then charged energy to get ready for a Sky Attack, as his body became enveloped in flames. HO-OH let out a screech, and then charged at top speed as the flames added to his already majestic apperance. This attack did some serious damage to Branz, but the battle was far from over.
-----------------------
The Final Destination arena appeared in another dimension. This time over a grassy field, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Flying in the sky was what appeared to be a yellow five-poited star with a pink spherical creature surfing on the top of it.
The creature was enjoying his ride through the sky until he saw Final Destination right in front of him. The creature panicked, emembering the horrors of the Smash Bros. tournamenst. He lost his focus on his star, and he fell off. When he hit the ground, he encountered a similar spherical life form to himself, only this one was coated in armor, wore a black cape, and had a pair of glowing yellow eyes.
The newcomer said in a spanish accent, "Kirby, what is that!?" The pink creature, known as Kirby, said, "POYO POYO POYO!!!!!!!!!" The knight sighed, forgetting that Kirby was still unable to speak intelligently, so the knight said,
"Perhaps Kabu might be able to shed some light on that thing up there. I can sense a great battle is being waged up there. We need to learn more in case this may be a threat to Dreamland. Let's go!" Kirby and the knight rushed off to find the one known as Kabu, whom they hoped could tell them about what they had seen. That's when the Final Destination faded out again.
------------------------
Branz jumped into the air, and slammed into the ground to perform Earthquake, and knocked everyone to the ground. Branz then went with another Pin Missle while everyone was down, but thankfully HO-OH avoided the tremor since he was flying, and blocked the Pin Missles with another Protect.
Branz then saw that he wouldn't get rid of the heroes if he didn't get rid of HO-OH first, so he tried to lash out with a Thunder Punch to bring the bird down. HO-OH dodged every punch, and was able to strike with an Aerial Ace when he found an opening.
Ash sent Pidgeot and Charizard in to give HO-OH some cover. The three flying pokemon attacked in formation as if they were fighter jets as they each rushed in for another Aerial Ace. All three struck Branz at the same time, delivering a heavy blow. While Branz was down, Pikachu blasted Branz with a Thunder attack to further weaken the demon Zangoose.
------------------------
Final Destination yet again phazed into another reality. Again over a vast field, but there seemed to be an unnatural black and red storm cloud covering the sky. On the field, a battle of epic proportions was being waged. On one side, a courageous youth clothed in green armed with a strong shield and a sword that can destroy evil, and the other an evil madman bent on spreading darkness throughout this world.
The evil man said to the younger warrior, "You're skills are impressive, but pale in comparison to mine. You should just surrender!" This was met by the younger man swiping his sword at the evil man, who blocked effortlessly. He then threw a punch at the young man, nearly dislocating the man's jaw.
While the younger man shook off the pain from the punch, the evil man charged with sword outstretched, but was suprised when the young man darted to the side, rolled, and then jumped while swinging his mystical blade upwards, slicing the evil man's back.
When the evil man threw his head up in pain from the back slice, he saw the Final Destination field. He, and only he recognized the evil arena. The reason why was that he tried to take over this kingdom several times before but each time he was sealed away for eternity, yet he always broke free thanks to his many servents across time. Before one such defeat, he was forced into the Smash Bros. tournament and had no choice but to cooperate with his enemies from the past to gain his freedom.
The evil man's gaze towards Final destination, while to him felt like hours, in reality was only a few seconds, as the younger man in green plunged his sword into the evil man's chest, and the threat to the kingdom of Hyrule was put to an end.
-------------------------
After putting on a Metal Cap, Ash rushed Branz in hope he could distract Branz long enough for the others to land a few hits without having to worry about getting hurt thanks to the indestructible magic steel covering his body.
While Branz was distracted by Ash's antics, Kooper used a Starman to power himself, and then ducked into his shell and spun in place to build power. Luigi then used his hammer as a golf club and smashed Kooper towards Branz. Kooper slammed into Branz, sending the mutant demon into a daze, which was fortunate for Ash as his Metal Cap's power had just run out.
After getting to safety, Ash threw a Super Mushroom to Kooper (who was still powered by the Starman), who then gulped down the magic fungi. Kooper then grew twice his normal hieght, and grew extra muscles as well. The power of the Starman was still in effect when Kooper began punching, clawing, kicking, and biting Branz while he still had his temporary power boost.
Meriee then said, "I can sense Branz is getting weaker!" Goldie then said sullenly, "I wish I got here sooner... It hurts me to see my old friend in this condition!" Luigi then said, "Just how do you know this guy anyway? Goldie then said, "He and I were childhood friends. He may not look it now, but Branz is only a child."
Everyone looked at Goldie with shocked expressions, which begged for more info on the subject. However, Goldie then said, "I'd rather not talk about it now. I'll tell you everything when it's over..." Everyone nodded at Goldie's suggestion, and turned back to Kooper, who had now lost his Starman-bestowed invincibility. He however was still musclebound from the Super Mushroom, which seemed to serve the Koopa Troopa quite well.
In an effort to lend a hand, Diddy quickly put on his famed Jetbarrel, and took off flying towards Branz with his wooden pistols drawn. When Diddy was within Branz's sight, Diddy shouted, "EAT TOMATO, YA FURRY SCUMBAG!" True to his words, Diddy fired Tomato berries from his pistols rather than the usual peanuts he usually fired from his favorite firearms.
Branz, having gotten pretty annoyed by Diddy's assault, made the mistake of opening his mouth to use another Hyper Beam. Diddy let loose a massive barrage of Tomato berries from his guns, completely emptying the two guns of their ammo. The effects of the incredibly spicy Tomato berries were immedeate as Branz suffered a massive case of heartburn.
While Branz was distracted by this, Kooper charged up a Fire Shell attack and smashed right into Branz, doing heavy damage. That's when Kooper's mushroom power faded, then he and Diddy made it back to the others, who were laughing at Diddy's effective and comical attack on the demon.
Branz was enraged by this move. Due to his heartburn, he couldn't charge up anymore power for a Hyper Beam attack, or any other energy-based move that would be launched from his mouth. HO-OH sensed this, and said, "Young chimp, you've givin us a huge advantage! That assault has crippled that monstrosity so it cannot do anymore attacks that require his mouth to perform!" DK was clearly excited and proud when he yelled, "AWESOME JOB LITTLE BUDDY!!!!"
Ash quickly checked his pokedex to check what attacks a Zangoose could use that Diddy had disabled. He then said, "Ok, according to HO-OH, Branz will not be able to use Hyper Beam, Flamethrower, Water Pulse, Fire Blast, Giga Drain, Solar Beam, Ice Beam, or Blizzard in that case."
Misty then said, "Not that they'd likely have much effect since those are all special attacks, and Zangoose specializes in physical moves." Goombario then said, "I dunno, the spell that thing put on Branz made him pretty powerful, so I doubt that the fact a normal Zangoose has low special attack strength will matter here... Not only that, we still have to deal with the fact he has access to Pin Missle in this form, and as such he may also be able to use moves that a normal Zangoose can't use."
Branz then confirmed Goombario's statement by suddenly morphing his left arm into a large spike, which began glowing bright green. Brock then yelled, "IT'S A MEGAHORN ATTACK!!!!" Everyone scatttered as Branz lunged towards the group, and drove his arm into the ground. Branz growled out of frustration as it was stuck in the ground. Branz then fired more feathers from his back as he used Pin Missle again, which everyone barely avoided.
Even though everyone avoided getting skewerd by the sharp-pointed feathers, the following explosions from the missle's impact sent the heroes flying in random directions on the field, which resulted in a few injuries here and there. Yoshi then said, "No one said this will be easy..."
Branz then jumped into the air, and caused a huge Eathquake attack to rip across the field. Bits of the battlefield broke off, and collided with the heroes, causing everyone further pain. This only served to enrage HO-OH more than he ever had been before. The legendary bird then blasted Branz with his Sacred Fire attack. While Branz was stunned from the powerful attack, HO-OH used Double Team as he prepared a Solar Beam attack.
Branz tried to strike with a Crush Claw, but only hit air as he sliced one of the illusions apart. HO-OH turned out to be right above Branz, and fired the Solar Beam straight downwards, crushing Branz against the ground by the power of the light-based attack.
While Branz was still down, Pikachu charged in with Volt Tackle, and was successful at paralyzing the gargantuan demon with the electrically charged tackle. Despite being paralyzed, Branz was able to get up, although he had trouble doing so. Now the heroes could now attack with everything they had.
Clay and Luigi, having been powered by Fire Flowers, severly burned Branz with a barrage of fireballs. Zane fired a Bomb's Away attack directly into Branz's face. DK jumped into the air and grabbed Branz's ears and threw im back into the ground, followed up by Diddy who tossed an Orange Bomb into Branz's mouth. Crow and Servo, still armed with their swords, began hacking and slashing at Branz to further weaken the monster he had become.
Finally, all of the pokemon fired their best attacks at Branz, all of which became one massive attack of it's own, and impacted Branz's mutated body, creating a massive explosion. The explosion kicked up a lot of dust and dirt, obscuring everyone's view.
When the cloud began to fade, everyone saw a faint sillouette in the shape of Branz's hulking mass, which was still standing. Everyone was suprised that such a powerful blast couldn't take him down, but that's when HO-OH said, "Wait, I sense something different about him..."
When the smoke finally cleared, they saw Branz was still standing, but it seemed that his body was subjected to a volcano's pyroclaustic blast, meaning he was completely petrified by the final blast. Soon after, Branz's body crumbled apart.
The Final Destination field vanished, and everyone saw they were back at Mt. Silver again, just outside the Team Rocket fall-back hideout. They all looked up and saw that the warship Prophet was using to get away had vanished as if it were nothing. That's when the sun rose over the nearby mountains.
--------------
Deep in his hdeout, Haze was furious. Actually, that would be putting it lightly, as Haze was so mad that even the devil himself would be afraid. Haze said, "HOW COULD BRANZ LOSE LIKE THAT!?!! ESPECIALLY AFTER THE SPELL I USED TO MAKE HIM INVINCIBLE!!?!!???"
The Shadow Queen wisely evacuated Haze's home the moment Branz began to falter, so she wouldn't recieve the full force of Haze's fury, so she had no reason to fear for her saftey at the moment. There were times like these she wondered why she put up with Haze.
After throwing his temper tantrum, Haze said, "Those fools are obviously stronger than I thought. I may have to do something about them, and quite soon... Oh well, at least Prophet is out of the way, so I can finally calm down from his many failures. My blood pressure has been taking a beating over these last few millenia due to that moron always messing up one way or another, so I guess I should be thankful that this prospect had failed... Though, I did lose more than I would have liked considering Branz was supposed to be the new generation of the Dentes Rhohos. I'll get my revenge on those fools in due time. Enjoy your victory while you can you little pests! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"
----------------
In the same dark void Prophet met the Grim Reaper in, Branz's ghost was wandering aimlessly, weeping like there was no tomarrow. "Goldie, what was it you wanted to tell me!?" That's when Death himself appeared before Branz. When Branz saw the specter, he was terrified. That's when Death said, "Do not be alarmed. You may be dead, but I have the answers you seek."
Branz was wary, but was curious about what Death had said. That's when Death said, "Tell me, why did you join the Dentes Rhohos?" Branz then said, "M-my clan was killed by a monster of some kind... I was away when it happened, and when I came back, my father told me to be strong for him before he finally died... I saw the beast that killed my friends and family, although not very clearly, after hearing the scream of my old friend Goldie. As I saw the monster, I saw it devour a mangled up arm, and I assumed it killed Goldie since I didn't see her anywhere..."
Death shook his head, and then said to Branz, "You thought she was dead? Not so. She's very much alive, and she is with the ones whom you thought were the enemy right now, seeking solice for your death."
Branz then said, "I kinda figured, since one of those robots mentioned being able to see her, and I noticed she still had both of her arms... But, I'm so confused!!! What happened that night when the monsters attacked!?"
Death then said, "Well, I happen to know very well what happened. Here, watch." Death produced a crystal ball, which replayed the events of the night Branz was left scarred by. Only this time, the view of the whole affair was clear as day.
What he saw was the Dentes Rhohos slaughtering his friends and family, and the pack leader nearly killed Goldie. Goldie sucsessfully defended herself by cutting the beast's arm, and fled the scene. The severed arm was the arm Branz saw on the ground that the monster ate before his eyes, and not Goldie's arm.
Branz had enough, and he was feeling a lot of anger right now. Anger towards the group who he thought were his new friends and family. Death then said, "It just so happens, that the pack leader was your old master, Prophet, A.K.A Kale."
Branz was even angrier now. He looked at his black fur in disgust, and wanted his old white fur back. Death then said, "Considering how you were unsure of who the Dentes Rhohos were when you first saw them, it helps your case somewhat since you only did what you did as you thought you were doing as your father requested. With a little luck, I may be able to lighten your eternal sentance to at least five hundred years, and then you can gain passage to Heaven like the rest of your tribe. In the mean time, Prophet is right now being tortured for his crimes against God's will, but I think you might make it more agonizing for him. After what he did to you, I'm sure you would want your revenge."
Branz smirked at this, and said, "You'll pay for what you did to me Prophet!"
-------------
After a quick flight south to the Ruins of Alph, HO-OH was able to coax the Unown from their dimension to assist the heroes in getting back home. As the Unown appeared, they floated around, chanting their race's name as they gathered the energy needed to make the portal that would send the Mushroom Kingdom heroes back home.
When the portal formed, the portal displayed what seemed to be an image of an island shaped like a banana with a gorrila head-shaped mountain in the center. Donkey Kong said, "Hey, looks like the first stop is good old Congo Bongo Island!"
The big gorrila turned, and said to Ash and his friends, "It's been a blast hanging around with you guys, but it's time we went home!" DK ran towards the portal with Diddy on his shoulders. As DK jumped in, he shouted out, "BANANA SLAMMA!!!!" DK and Diddy went into the portal, and were soon transported safely to Congo Bongo, where their friends and families would be overjoyed to see them again.
Soon, another island appeared, this one surrounded by many other islands bunched into a tight cluster, almost making them all look like one giant donut-shaped island. Yoshi then said, "That Dinosaur Land! Yoshi go home now!" Yoshi jumped through the portal to return to Dinosaur Land. Sure his actual real home was on Yoshi's Island, but Yoshi knew the entire region very well, so he could find his way home no matter where he ended up.
All of the dinosaurs who were turned into Dentes Rhohos during the late Cretaceous period wondered how they were going to adjust to the change between their former lives to the new lives they were just given. The heroes were puzzled as to how the dinosaurs all looked like Velociraptors when they were Dentes Rhohos, but after HO-OH's purification, they all were various different species. The different species included Triceratops, Ankylasaurus, Iguanadon, and suprisningly enough there were a couple of Tyrannisaurs, and several other species that were too numerous to mention. Even more suprising, the dinosaurs spoke perfect English like the ones seen at Tiger Track Island, the Isle O' Hags, and Dinosaur Land.
One of the Triceratops asked, "How are we gonna fit into the crowd over there? We came from the past, and we should have died in the past." An Iguanadon then said, "We'll think of something. It's probobly best not to worry about it now. I'm sure the dinosaurs we'll meet will welcome us when they hear about what happened to us. The Dentes Rhohos are mere legend in this day and age, so the dinosaurs of this new world will hopefully take pity on us." Soon, all of the dinosaurs entered the portal and were soon warped to Dinosaur Land to start their new lives.
After the dinosaurs disappered into the portal, the portal changed it's displayed image again, this time showing an image of Grassland. Luigi didn't hesitate running into the portal, wanting to be back in the saftey of his own home again. Before he vanished into the portal, Luigi yelled, "Later Ash, you've been a great friend! I may regret saying this for some reason, but I hope we see each other again someday!"
Crow, Servo, and Cambot walked up to Ash and his friends to say goodbye. Crow said to the group, "Despite some issues with you kids, we had a great time. Like Luigi said, I hope we might see each other again." Servo then said, "I'd like to see more of this world, but we gotta go. You kids should see our world sometime. Providing you find some way to get there that is."
Cambot then spat out some pictures, and said, "Here, take these pictures I've taken. They're pictures from our previous adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as photos from this one." The robots then left for the portal, and jumped inside screaming, "HI-KEBA!!!!!!!"
Clay, Zane, Meriee, and Vivian chuckled at the robots as the left for home. Clay then said, "Well, I guess we should get going." Brock then said, "What about your pokemon? Aren't you taking them along?"
Zane let out a sigh, and said, "We talked about that, and we realized that we shouldn't try and take them away from their homeworld. I think it's best we'd left them here."
Vivian then said, "It was tough on all of us, but the pokemon realized that it was best. Our world, while although perfectly capable of supporting pokemon, would likely have trouble adapting to alien creatures like them. Likewise, the pokemon may have a tough time fitting in with our world's wildlife."
Lucario then said, "Don't worry about it. If you somehow come back, we'll be waiting for you guys." B.K. was a bit sullen, but said, "Yeah, whatever... Goodbye, I guess..." Clay, Zane, Meriee, and Vivian walked towards the portal as they said goodbye one last time. Then they went into the portal, and returned home.
Wally: Mate, that was fantastic!
Ace: Wow, and you even had the Final Destination field visit other worlds!
Me: Yeah, that's the special thing I mentioned before the story started. Here's a list of the worlds visited when the Final Destination field phazed into each reality:
1: Starfox
2: Kirby
3: Legend of Zelda (I used the final battle of Twilight Princess for this bit)
(puts away the list) I also hope people caught the Zelda cartoon refrence I threw in when I did the Starfox cameo.
Crow: I got it, and that was perfectly executed. It went perfectly with Falco's personality.
Gantz:I liked how Diddy was able to cripple Branz with those Tomato berries. Those things are not to be eaten unless blended into Pokeblock or Poffin. I also liked how HO-OH was able to help when needed.
Kuma: Definately a battle I want to share with my friends back home.
Servo: We'll give ya a recording of the whole fanfic once we upload the epilouge chapter.
Kuma: Thanks, Servo.
MMSB: HAHAHAHA! Oh man Prophet's gonna get it now! Not only is he facing eternal torment for his crimes, but his once loyal minion's gonna kick his ass! Perfect irony!
Zane: All that's left is the epilouge.
Mallow: And we have a special suprise in store for that.
Me: I'll put it up later. Until then, R&R!
