Chapter 12: Face to Face with The Deadly Six

(Inside the Deadly Six's hideout)

Zavok and the rest of the Zeti's turned off the computer screen after they saw Dimentio getting defeated.

Zavok- I agree with Tabuu there, Dimentio was a huge disappointment. But I see the rest of that team is just hard to kill as Sonic is.

Master Zik- I think you all fail to see what just happened behind the scenes.

Zor- Why bother?

Master Zik- While you were all focusing on Dimentio, I saw someone. He was wearing a black cloak and he was the one who left those red stars in front of Yoshi. There is someone helping them from the shadows.

Zavok- That could pose a problem, Master Zik. Perhaps we should inform Tabuu about this.

Before Zavok could call Tabuu, the steel door was smashed down by Donkey Kong. Standing where the door use to be, the Deadly Six saw Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Ty, Bowser, and Eggman.

Zavok- So you've all finally made it here.

Sonic- If you wanted to fight me again, Zavok, you could've knocked on my door instead of kidnapping Tails and would've been happy to accept your playdate.

Zavok- Still the jokester, I see. Will make killing you all the more satisfying.

Mario- Stop with the nonsense! Where are you hiding the children you've kidnapped?!

Zazz- Who said we're hiding them?

Zomom took a bite out a giant sub sandwich.

Zomom- Yeah…(munch)…they're right here…(munch)…

Then the lights turned on and they saw thousands of capsules hanging on the walls like decorations. And in each capsule was an unconscious child. Ty quickly spotted Fang in one of those capsules and tried to rush for him. However, Zeena attacked Ty before he could get close. Ty blocked her claws with his boomerangs.

Ty- Get the hell out of me way, you bitch!

Then both Ty and Zeena kicked each other in the stomach at the same time and knocked each other away from the other.

Zeena- You won't be getting any of these kids that easily.

Ty- Give me Fang or I'll take me anger out on you, you ****ing broad! I remember you were the one who broke into me house last night!

Bowser- That goes the same for Jr.! Give him back or your asses are mine!

Master Zik- If you want the kids back so much, you'll have to best us first.

Sonic- I whooped you six assholes at least three times each and by myself! Now I'm part of a team of heroes that are just as strong as me. What makes you think you can take all of us on now?

Zavok- Funny you should ask that, Sonic…

Then Zavok reveals Tabuu's mark on his left palm.

Zavok- I might not be one of Tabuu's followers, but he has temperately granted me access to his power.

Zazz- And let's not forget your worlds' energy!

Zor- We've already used some of it to increase our strength just like what happened last time.

Master Zik- And it's not just Mobius this time…

Then the computer screen behind the Deadly Six showed images of Mobius, Kongo Jungle, Buramudgee, Hyrule, Skyworld, Dreamland, Kanto, Sequin Land, and the Mushroom Kingdom. They were all looking horrible, like a baron wasteland about to lose all their last drop of life.

Zavok- And by the look of things, you don't have much time left. And neither does the rest of your team. They obviously won't last fighting Tabuu's followers while their actions drain them all. Face it, you left them all to die.

Luigi- Not if we take you down first!

Zazz- I'd like to see you try! Hehehe!

Luigi and Zazz began staring each other down. Donkey Kong and Zomom did the same thing. Ty and Zeena glared at each other. Yoshi stood in front of Master Zik and readied himself. Eggman pulled out his laser gun and aimed at Zor. Mario, Sonic, and Bowser stood in front of Zavok who looked very eager to fight.

(In the air ducks of the robot factory)

Orbot and Cubot were crawling around while Cubot was dragging Ty's toolbox behind him.

Orbot- Cleaver idea that Tasmanian Tiger had. Having us sneak into the base's power room to shut down the power while they keep the Zeti busy.

Cubot- Maybe he is smarter than the boss.

Orbot- Don't let the doctor hear you say that, or he might put you in the scrap.

Cubot- I'd say they're in good hands for trusting us with something as important as this.

Viridi (telepathically to Orbot and Cubot)- They don't!

Palutena (telepathically to Orbot and Cubot)- She's right. Mario and Ty begged us to help guide you through this assignment.
