Chapter 13: Heroes Standing Their Ground

(Back in the Mushroom Kingdom)

Chunky Kong was punched by Lord Fredrick and knocked into a building. The building tumbled like a house of card when Chunky crashed into it. As Chunky Kong as trying to pull himself back together, he saw Lord Fredrick charging for him. Chunky Kong quickly blocked, but just barely. Chunky and Fredrick were now in arms lock and Chunky was struggling to hold Fredrick back.

Lord Fredrick- You appear to be just as strong as Donkey Kong…but so am I!

Chunky Kong- Hurry it up you guys! I don't know how much longer I can do this!

Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Phosphora threw a large amount of orange grenades and lighting blasts at Fredrick from behind. But when they hit him, it looked like Fredrick wasn't hurt that much. Then the pushed through Chunky and threw him to the ground. Then he blew on his war horn and hit Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Phosphora with an ice blast before tackling them to the ground.

Lord Fredrick- It don't matter how many of you puny monkeys you try to throw and me! It makes no difference!

Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Phosphora were covered in wounds as they struggled to get up.

Diddy Kong- Damn it! Fredrick is too strong for any of us Kong's to fight without Donkey Kong!

Phosphora- Don't you have anyone other strong Kong's to help us other than Chunky?

Dixie Kong- Chunky Kong is the only other Kong who's as strong as Donkey Kong and even he can't beat Fredrick.

Phosphora- How did Donkey Kong beat that behemoth?!

Diddy Kong- He punched him in the face with his Monkey Punch and knocked Fredrick into the air and crash landing on the Snowmed's own ship.

Palutena (telepathically to Diddy Kong)- Actually, there was more to it than that. Donkey Kong knew Fredrick had a short temper and used it to his advantage.

Diddy Kong- Oh yeah! That would explain why DK kept getting Fredrick to charge his head into the wall.

Dixie Kong- I remember now! Donkey Kong threw some of the Snowmads at his head to get him to charge at Donkey Kong so he could hit Fredrick's weak spot on his back while jumping over him!

Phosphora- He has a weak spot?! Why didn't you say that earlier?!

Viridi (telepathically to Phosphora)- I think it's because that weak spot can only do damage to him with melee attacks and you don't have many of those, Phosphora.

Palutena (telepathically to Phosphora)- Also, hitting that weak spot will be like punching a brick wall, even if it will hurt him. Even Donkey Kong got hurt hitting Lord Fredrick there.

Viridi (telepathically to Phosphora)- This still won't be easy, because he'll be fast when he charges for you and you'll have to time your attack just right as you jump over Lord Fredrick.

Phosphora- Ok, simple enough. But how are we gonna make him lose his cool?

Lanky Kong appeared with a handful of orange grenades.

Lanky Kong- Allow me!

Then Lanky Kong threw the orange grenades and they exploded in Lord Fredrick's face.

Lord Fredrick- Another Kong? This is getting annoying!

Lord Fredrick pointed his Viking helmet at Lanky and began to charge for him, like how a bull charges. Luckily, Lanky Kong used his stretching arms to pull himself out of the way at the last minute and Fredrick ran into a brick wall. The brick wall crumbled like it was hit with a wrecking ball, but Fredrick was holding his head and looking a little woozy.

Lord Fredrick- Oh…my head…

Once Fredric pulled himself back together, he saw Lanky Kong standing nearby and he began to charge for him again. But before he could get close to Lanky, Diddy Kong managed to sneak up on Fredrick and hit the weak spot on his back. Lord Fredrick cringed in pain for a moment, but Diddy Kong's paw was now swollen a bit and glowing red.

Diddy Kong- Owch…I forgot how much that hurt…

Lord Fredrick straightened his Viking helmet on his head and turned to look at Diddy Kong.

Lord Fredric- Using the same trick Donkey Kong used when we fought…that's a dirty trick. But here's some ice to help with that swelling.

Then Lord Fredrick blew on his war horn again and shot a dragon made of ice out of it. Diddy Kong ducked to avoid it, but another ice dragon was show and closer to the ground. Diddy Kong tried to jump over it, but a part of Diddy's leg got hit by that second ice dragon and froze Diddy Kong's leg. Fredrick was about to approach Diddy Kong while he tried to unfreeze his leg, but Chunky Kong got back up and used his Primate Punch on the weak spot on Fredrick's back. The punch caused a hollow sound and Chunky did hurt his fist, not as bad as Diddy, but it did knock Lord Fredrick to the ground and made him drop his horn. Phosphora quickly managed to grab the horn before Fredrick could.

Phosphora- Let's see how you like having your own weapon used against you!

Phosphora blew on the war horn, but nothing happened.

Lord Fredrick- Hehehe. Foolish little girl. I don't just blow on that horn to make all that ice come out. I also put my ice magic into it. Which you obviously don't have…

Then Lord Fredrick created two large broad swords out of ice.

Lord Fredrick- I'm going to burry all of you Kong's in so much ice, you'll never feel warm again!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Marx was flying just above Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe as he dropped several energy bombs down at them. Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe kept trying their best to avoid them. Suddenly, Knuckle Joe found himself surrounded. Then Meta Knight grabbed hold of Knuckle Joe and they both vanished under Meta Knight's cape before the energy bombs could hit them. After Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe reappeared, Marx landed right in front of them.

Marx- Same old trick, Meta Knight. That old tricks won't protect you forever.

Knuckle Joe- Well we don't see you trying anything new since you fought Kirby on the Milky Way!

Marx- You want to see something new? I was actually hoping to save them for Kirby, but if you insist, how's this for new?

Then Marx's tongue stretched out like Yoshi's does and it grabbed Meta Knight. Then Marx pulled Meta Knight into his mouth, almost like how Yoshi and Kirby do.

Marx- Mmmm…chewy…mmmm…

Then Marx spat out Meta Knight and he suddenly gained a sword.

Meta Knight- What the hell was that?! That was disgusting!

Sword Marx- You like it? Master Tabuu taught me how to use the copy ability just like Kirby. You know what they say, fight fire with fire. Or in this case, fight a copier with a copier.

Knuckle Joe- You think you can fight as well as Kirby can by coping his copy ability?

Sword Marx- Let's find out…

Sword Marx quickly dashing into Knuckle Joe with his newly acquired sword and knocked Knuckle Joe to the ground. Knuckle Joe fired a few focus jabs at Sword Marx, but Sword Marx used his sword to swat them all away. Then Sword Marx fired a sword beam at Knuckle Joe and knocked him into a wall. Meta Knight tried to attack Sword Marx from behind, but Sword Marx quickly dodged it. Then Sword Marx begun a sword spin attack and Meta Knight was barely able to block it with his Galaxia sword. Then Meta Knight pulled his cape over himself and vanished while Sword Marx was still spinning.

Sword Marx- Hey! No fair!

Meta Knight- Who said a fight is supposed to be fair? Fool!

Then Meta Knight landed a surprise attack and knocked Sword Marx to the ground and changed him back to regular Marx.

Marx- Shit…guess I'll have to try something different…

Then Marx shot his tongue at Knuckle Joe this time and pulled him into his mouth.

Marx- Mmmm…a little rough around the edges…mmmmm…

Then Marx spat out Knuckle Joe and turned into Fighter Marx.

Fighter Marx- Now, let's see how a fighter does.

Knuckle Joe- You were right, Meta Knight. That was disgusting!

Meanwhile, Kirby, Robobot, Jessie, James, and Meowth were dodging all the energy blasts that were being shot by Zero from above.

Jessie- I don't mean to be rude, but this is getting us nowhere!

Kirby- Agreed. I have one idea, but it will be risky. See that big red eye on Zero's head?

Meowth- How can we not with the way it keeps bleeding?

Kirby- It's also his weak spot. Striking that eye was how Ribbon and I were able to beat Zero. But the problem is, we'll have to get in close to get to his eye. Think you guys can distract Zero long enough for me and Robobot to get in close.

James- You want us to risk being blown to pieces by that monster?!

Kirby- You'd rather one of you try and get up close to Zero to attack his eye?

Meowth- No way!

Jessie- I'm not touching that bleeding eye!

James- I think we're safer at a distance from Zero!

Kirby- Good to hear. You don't have to damage him or win, you just need to keep his one eye fixed on you long enough.

Zero shot another energy beam from his eye, but Kirby and the others dodged it. Smoke covered the area where Zero hit and Zero was trying to figure out where they were hiding.

Jessie- Yanmega, sonic boom!

Yanmega- (Buzz)

Yanmega flew out of the smoke and fired its attack, but Zero put one of his wings over his eye to block.

James- Yamask, shadow ball!

Then Yamask appeared behind Zero and fired shadow ball. It hit Zero's back, but it didn't look like it hurt Zero much. Then Jessie's Gourgeist attacked with seed bomb from Zero's side. Then James' Inkay used psybeam from another angle. Team Rocket's Poke'mon were not doing much to hurt Zero, but they were confusing him a bit by attacking him from so many different angles. Making it difficult for Zero to focus his one eye on who to attack. Little did Zero noticed, Kirby and the Robobot Armor were climbing this one building just above Zero. Kirby and Robobot jump off the building and were about to try and grab onto Zero from behind. But unfortunately for Kirby, it wasn't going to be that easily.

Tabuu (telepathically to Zero)- Hey Zero…behind and above you…

Then Zero's eye closed and completely vanished as it opened up on the other side of Zero's head and spotted Kirby and Robobot.

Kirby- What the…

Zero slapped Kirby and Robobot with his wing and knocked Kirby out of Robobot's cockpit. Then Kirby fell from the sky and crashed into Jessie, James, and Meowth, knocking them all to the ground. As they were struggling to get back up, they saw Zero shoot another energy blast from his eye. Then Robobot appeared out of nowhere and jumped in front of the blast.

Kirby- ROBOBOT!

Then the Robobot Armor was hit with Zero's attack, but when the smoke cleared, Robobot was severely damaged. Its right arm was completely blown off, several of its wires were showing through the opening in its frame, and sparks of electricity were coming from all the damaged parts in Robobot's body. Eventually, Robobot fell to the ground.

Kirby- Robobot! Are you alright?!

Kirby rushed to Robobot and tried to get it to stand, but Robobot just laid there with part of its body parting from the exposed parts.

Kirby- You're going to ****ing pay, Zero!

Zero looked at Kirby that you could see Kirby's reflection in Zero's big red eye.

Palutena (telepathically to Kirby)- Kirby, I know how much Robobot meant to you, but you mustn't let this get personal.

Viridi (telepathically to Kirby)- She's right. Getting you riled up is exactly what Tabuu wants.

James- Look, we are sorry about your toy breaking, but I think we need a new plan!

Jessie- That bleeding eyed monster looks like he's ready to attack again!

Kirby- This might drain me almost completely and fuel that machine even faster, but I guess I don't have much of a choice. Palutena, Viridi, think you can grant me one of my Super Abilities?

Viridi- Sure thing, Kirby. But try to remember you're doing this to help Mario, not to get revenge on Robobot.

Kirby- Fine. Just give me a Super Ability so I can stop Zero!

Then Kirby was transformed into Ultra Sword Kirby.

Meowth- What is that?!

Ultra Sword Kirby- I can make some of my copy abilities evolve to the next level. This is Ultra Sword. But it uses up so much of my energy, I'll be totally exhausted once this wares off. But if it can bring Zero down quickly, the payoff will be worth it!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Link and Vaati were crossing their swords and fighting with all their might.

Vaati- Strong as usual! Had to be if you were able to slay me before!

Link- Again with how I cut your head off! It's starting to get annoying how you keep bringing it up! Will you cut it out, Vaati?!

Vaati- If you insist…after I do the same to you!

Vaati kicked Link in the stomach and knocked him a bit away. Vaati swung his sword again, but Link blocked with his shield. Then Link used his sword spin and knocked Vaati a bit away from him.

Vaati- I think it's time to heat things up around here!

Then Vaati shot a stream of fire from his fingertips at Link and Link used his shield to block it. The Hylian shield was stopping the flames, but it was starting to get almost too hot for Link to keep holding. Suddenly, Din's Fire was cast at Vaati and knocked him to the ground. Link turned around and saw Aryll.

Link- Aryll, I thought you were helping the other Hylians deal with Tabuu's Primids.

Aryll- No, I must protect you, big brother!

Vaati- Big brother? I didn't know you had a sister.

Then Vaati took a look at Aryll.

Vaati- You know, your sister almost resembles the goddess, Hylia.

Tabuu (telepathically to Vaati)- Don't let your guard down, Vaati! Aryll might not be as strong as Link, but she wields the magic of Hylia herself. Her magic is just as dangerous as Link's Master Sword. And I should that Master Sword is powerful enough to harm even a god since a previous wielder of that sword was part of the original Super Mario Brothers' Team.

Vaati- Don't worry about me, Master Tabuu. I learned the hard way not to underestimate my foes.

Then Vaati's eyes merged into one and his body got covered in shadow. Then Vaati transformed into a giant black one-eyed monster (no relation to Zero) with bat wings and a giant claw that looked like it was made out of bats.

Aryll- Big brother, what the hell is that?!

Link- Vaati's true form.

Vaatis shot a bolt of black lightning from his eye and Aryll blocked with Nayru's Love. However, the barrier was not holding very well. Suddenly, Magnus' sword and Impa's giant knife struck Vaati from behind and made him cringe in pain.

Link- I thought you were also helping the Hylians fight of Tabuu's army.

Magnus- You think I'd let you take all the fun when a monster like this shows up?

Then Sheik appeared behind Link and Aryll.

Sheik- Vaati is obviously too dangerous to risk letting you face alone.

Impa- The Hylian troops are doing just fine against Tabuu's Primids without us. I trained most of them after all.

Vaati- Send in all the insects you want, I'll crush them all! None of you can match me with how much Tabuu has increased my strength!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Shantae, Dark Lord Gaol, and King DeDeDe were doing their best against the Pirate Master. The Pirate Master fired a few bones at them, but DeDeDe inhaled them (like Kirby can) and spat them back at the Pirate Master.

Shantae- Since when could you do that?!

King DeDeDe- Kirby's not the only one who can suck up things. But I can't copy powers like Kirby can.

However, the Pirate Master stopped his own bone attack before it hit him and put them in the cannon on his shoulder before firing it back. Shantae, Gaol, and DeDeDe managed to dodge.

The Pirate Master- I can even stop my own attacks you try to redirect at me! Tabuu's talents are more impressive than I thought. Almost make me wonder how your mother and the original Super Mario Brothers' Team bested him 1,000 years ago.

Dark Lord Goal charged the energy in her armor until she was surrounded by a ball of energy. Gaol tried to ram into the Pirate Master, but the Pirate Master swung his sword at her and was holding her back.

Shantae- That's it, hold the Pirate Master for just a bit longer…

Eventually, the Pirate Master broke through Gaol's attack and knocked her to the ground. But before he could react to anything, Elephant Shantae rammed into him from the side and knocked him to the ground. Then Elephant Shantae changed back to normal Shantae as she tried to attack the Pirate Master with her hair whip attack while he was down. But the Pirate Master quickly grabbed her hair and pulled her in as he was getting back up.

The Pirate Master- Nice try, but I've toughened up since we last fought here in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Suddenly, King DeDeDe dropped from above the Pirate Master and landed on top of him (King DeDeDe's up b move). Shantae was freed and the Pirate Master literally fell to pieces.

Shantae- I appreciate the help, but you need to be careful with that! You almost crushed me too!

King DeDeDe- Well excuse me for trying to help!

Then the Pirate Master put himself back together.

The Pirate Master- Damn! You really need to lose some weight there, tubby!

King DeDeDe- Hey! Don't call me tubby!

Then the Pirate Master saw Gaol got herself back up and the three surrounded him.

The Pirate Master- I see you're more trouble than your worth. Time to stop fooling around and this time, you won't have a swordsman with a sword of the gods or a hedgehog with the power of the gods to save you!

Then the Pirate Master gathered all of his dark energy and transformed into a giant.

King DeDeDe- What the hell?! He grows big too?!

Dark Lord Gaol- That's definitely the same giant skeleton Magnus and I saw during the Smash City event.

The Pirate Master- And now it's time to end you retards once and for all!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Sly got in his Launcher Bunyip and Shazza got in her Battle Bunyip MK2 just as the Quinking began to charge for them. Sly jumped out of the way, but Shazza took on the Quinking head on. Soon, Shazza's Battle Bunyip MK2 and the Quinking were in armlock.

Quinking- You seem a little tense. Is it because you lost your cub?

Shazza- Don't you dare talk about Fang, you ****ing monster!

Quinking- Looks like I touched a nerve. Did I hurt mommy's feelings?

Before the Quinking could taunt Shazza more, he felt the Battle Bunyip MK2 kick him in a certain area. The Quinking fell to his side, curled into a ball, and held the lower part of his body.

Sly- Yikes!

Boss Cass- What was Ty thinking marrying her!

Shazza- I told you before, I'm not in the mood to be ****ed with today! You're lucky I don't try and yank that thing off for taunting me about Fang, Quinking!

Tabuu (telepathically to the Quinking)- HAHAHA! I'm sorry, but you really did deserve that!

The Quinking got himself back up.

Quinking- Shut up! I don't need this, Tabuu!

Tabuu (telepathically to the Quinking)- I'm just saying that taunting her about her son while she's already taking this fight way too personally is a bad idea. Unless you want another…low blow…I'd say she's already blinded with enough rage. Unlike taunting Boss Cass over the fact he killed Fluffy during your invasion of Buramudgee. By the way, Sly has just launched a bunch of missiles at you from behind.

The Quinking turned around and saw Sly firing several missiles from the launchers of his Launcher Bunyip. The Quinking shot a few spikes from his back and got rid of the missiles before they could reach him. The Quinking roared and made a shockwave (like he did in the final phase of the final fight of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan) and it shook Sly and Shazza's Bunyip machines that they almost lost their balance. Before Sly or Shazza could do anything, the Quinking swung his tail and knocked Sly's Launcher Bunyip and Shazza's Battle Bunyip MK2 to the ground. Boss Cass fired his laser blaster again, but another barrier appeared around the Quinking.

Quinking- You're slow to learn, Boss Cass. Tabuu already gave me protection against your blaster. Too bad Fluffy didn't have one when you shot her by mistake with it.

Boss Cass- Damn you!

Palutena (telepathically to Boss Cass)- In case you haven't noticed, he's trying to get you mad on purpose.

Viridi (telepathically to Boss Cass)- Especially since he obviously doesn't want to provoke Shazza again! If the world does end today, seeing Shazza land that blow directly in between the legs was worth it!

Shazza got her Battle Bunyip MK2 to stand back up.

Shazza- Let's see how you like it!

Then Shazza's Battle Bunyip MK2 pounded the ground with its fists and made a large shockwave. However, the Quinking jumped over it. Then Sly launched missiles from his Launcher Bunyip. They did damage the Quinking, but he landed on top of Sly's Launcher Bunyip. While Sly and his Launcher Bunyip were stuck underneath the Quinking's foot, the Quinking swung its tail at Sly. The mechanical arms of the Launcher Bunyip caught the tail just in time. Then Shazza has her Battle Bunyip MK2 punch the Quinking and knocked him off Sly's Launcher Bunyip.

Shazza- You ok, Sly?

Sly- I'm fine.

Shazza helped Sly get back up and they saw the Quinking launch the spikes on his back like missiles again. Sly tried to counter with some of his Bunyip's missiles, but he noticed something was wrong.

Sly- Shit! The missile launchers were damaged when the Quinking jumped on me Launcher Bunyip!

So, Sly and Shazza were barely able to dodge all of them before they exploded.

Quinking- Tremble before the might of both the Quinkan and Tabuu!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Sonic's friends and Cragalanche were fighting the wave of Black Arm while Super Shadow and Super Silver were fighting Black Doom.

Super Shadow- Chaos Spear!

Super Shadow fired his Chaos Spear at Black Doom while Super Silver fired a blast of his psychic energy. Black Doom avoided them and quickly pinned them to the side of a building while at the same time grasping one in each hand.

Black Doom- Even in your super forms, you can't handle my new strength! And once your rings run out, you'll be left completely defenseless against me!

Super Shadow- Chaos Control!

Super Shadow tried to teleport him and Super Silver out of Black Doom's grip, but nothing happened.

Super Shadow- What…

Black Doom- Tabuu showed me a new trick. He taught me how to neutralize you Chaos Control! Now you can't use Chaos Control to teleport out of danger!

Then Super Silver saw something laying on the ground and got an idea as he activated his psychic abilities.

Black Doom- I know Tabuu brought me back to help him deal with Sonic, but getting my revenge on you, Shadow, is all I need to satisfy me.

Super Silver- Sorry to break it to you, but your revenge will have to wait a little longer!

Suddenly, a laser blasted Black Doom in the back and it caused Black Doom let go of Super Shadow and Super Silver. Apparently, Super Silver used his psychic powers to grab hold of a dropped Black Arms weapon laying on the ground.

Super Silver- Tabuu might've taught you how to block Shadow's Chaos Control, but I doubt he taught you how to block my abilities!

Black Doom- He didn't, but he did inform what you all can do. I should've been more observant that one of my Black Arms dropped its weapon where you could grab it.

Then Black Doom crushes the laser weapon Super Silver took control of.

(In another part of Toad Town)

Ash, Alain, Sawyer, Serena, and Tierno were still battling Poke'mon Hunter J and Fawful while the rest of Ash's friends were fending off Tabuu's Primids.

Ash- Lycanroc! Rock type Z-Move! Continental Crush!

Lycanroc- (Howl)

Poke'mon Hunter J- Ariados! Bug type Z-Move! Savage Spin-Out!

Ariados- ARIADOS!

The two Z-Moves collided and neutralized each other out.

Ash- Can't believe Tabuu gave her another Z-Crystal!

Rotom'dex- All of this Z-Ring recharge is draining my systems!

Fawful- Really? Because Fawful's Rotom'dex copy go all day!

Fawful's headgear turned into that cheap Rotom'dex looking copy and restored Poke'mon Hunter J's Z-Ring to full power.

Clemont- Things will get too difficult with Fawful using all of Rotom'dex's boosts to strengthen J.

Ash- Got a plan?

Clemont- I think so. First, we need to trick J into using her Z-Move.

Alain- Not a problem. Charizard, blast burn!

Sawyer- And Sceptile, leaf storm!

Alain's Mega Charizard X- (ROAR)

Sawyer's Mega Sceptile- Sceptile!

Those two Poke'mon attacks were heading straight for Fawful and Poke'mon Hunter J.

Fawful- Those too big to avoid!

Poke'mon Hunter J- Then we'll just stop them. Drapion! Poison type Z-Move! Acid Downpour!

Drapion- DRAPION!

After Drapion's Z-Move blocked those two attacks, the area got covered in smoke. Fawful turned his headgear into heatseeking goggles and he tried to see if he could find Ash and his Poke'mon in the smoke.

Fawful- Let's see if Fawful can find Trainer in smoke cover…and remove his head before he see again!

Before Fawful do anything, Serena's Braixen and Tierno's Blastoise hit him from behind with fire blast and hydro pump. The attacks almost knocked Fawful's headgear off his head. Fawful turned around to face Serena and Tierno.

Tierno- Hey little bean man, bet you can't catch us!

Serena and Tierno began running away.

Fawful- No one pulls sneak attack on Fawful and get away with it! Get back here!

Then Poke'mon Hunter J noticed Fawful running in the opposite direction as to where Ash and his Poke'mon were.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Hey! Where do you think you're going?! Dumbass! Who needs that ****er anyway? I can beat you all on my own.

Fawful eventually caught up to Serena and Tierno after the smoke faded.

Fawful- Nowhere left to run, Poke'mon Trainers!

Serena- Who said we were running?

Then Clemont jumped out from behind Fawful and grabbed hold of his headgear.

Fawful- Get…off…Fawful's…headgear!

Fawful thrashed about like a bull at a rodeo until he was able to throw Clemont off his head gear. But just before Clemont fell off, he was able to place something on the headgear.

Fawful- Foolish Trainers will have to do better to get upper hand on Fawful!

Clemont- I'd say we did. Or have you not noticed we lured you away from your partner?

Fawful looked around and saw he was pulled away from where Ash and Poke'mon Hunter J were still battling.

Clemont- And that's not all…

Then Clemont pulls out a remote and pushes the button on it. Suddenly, the small device Clemont placed on Fawful's headgear administrated a burst of electricity. This caused Fawful's headgear to go haywire and electrocute Fawful at the same time.

Fawful- AAAAAAAAAAA!

Fawful managed to throw his headgear off before all the short secreting caused parts of his headgear to blowup.

Fawful- Fawful's headgear! It ruined! You asshole have any idea how long it take to fix?!

Tierno- Your plan worked, Clemont!

Serena- Well done!

Clemont- Not so tough without your fancy headgear holding all of your tricks? Well as you can see…the future is now thanks to…

Before Clemont could finish that sentence, a boxing glove attached to a mechanical arm punched Clemont in the face and knocked him to the ground. That mechanical arm came out a mechanical pack on Fawful's back he was hiding under his robe. Then a total of six of those mechanical arms with boxing gloves came out from under Fawful's robe.

Fawful- Four eyes fool for thinking all Fawful's tricks in headgear. Fawful still have million and one tricks up sleeve! Now, Fawful beat you like egg! I have fury!

Fawful tried to punch Clemont again with those mechanical arms, but Clemont got out of the way in time. Clemont called out his Chespin, Bunnelby, and Luxray.

Clemont- Chespin, pin missile! Bunnelby, mud shot! And Luxray, swift!

Chespin- Ches Chespin!

Bunnelby- Bunnel…BY!

Luxray- Lux!

The Poke'mon attacks blocked the mechanical arms, but they didn't look damaged at all. Meanwhile, Serena and Tierno tried to attack Fawful from behind while he was focusing on Clemont.

Serena- Braixen, fire blast!

Tierno- Blastoise, hydro cannon!

After Blastoise and Braixen launched their attacks, Fawful quickly turned around with a laser gun and fired it. The laser blast not only blocked the fire blast and hydro cannon, but pushed through the Poke'mon attacks and was heading straight for Serena and Tierno. Luckily, they got out of the way in time.

Fawful- HAHAHAHA! I have fury!

Back with Ash, Alain, and Sawyer fighting Poke'mon Hunter J, Ash looked up and saw J's Mega Salamence flying just above them.

Ash- Glalie, use ice beam! Goodra and Gible, both of you use dragon pulse!

Glalie- Glalie!

Goodra- Gooo!

Gible- Gible!

The three Poke'mon attacks hit Mega Salamence, but Mega Salamence hit them with dragon rush and knocked them out, forcing Ash to return them to their poke'balls.

Ash- Noivern, boomburst! Boldore, rock blast! Corphish, bubble beam!

Noivern- (Screech)

Boldore- Bol DORE DORE!

Corphish- Corphish!

The three attacks hit Mega Salamence and it looked like Mega Salamence getting to injured to keep itself airborne.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Drapion, cross poison! And Ariados, night slash!

Drapion and Ariados charged for Noivern, Boldore, and Corphish while they were distracted after attacking Mega Salamence. Luckily, Alain's Mega Charizard X and Sawyer's Mega Sceptile jumped in.

Alain- Charizard, dragon claw!

Sawyer- Sceptile, leaf blade!

Mega Charizard X's dragon claw stopped the cross poison while Mega Sceptile's leaf blade stopped the night slash. But before they could celebrate, Mega Salamence managed to pull itself together and ready to attack again.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Salamence, crush them all with draco meteor!

Mega Salamence- (ROAR)

Mega Salamence shot some of its energy into the sky and it suddenly began raining meteors made out of Mega Salamence's energy. Then Ash had Snorlax and Boldore jump in front of the whole group.

Ash- Snorlax, Boldore, quickly, use protect!

Snorlax- Snor!

Boldore- Boldore!

A barrier surrounded Snorlax and Boldore as they shielded everyone from the draco meteors.

Sawyer- Clemont, Serena, and Tierno might have lured Fawful away, but we won't last long unless we ground that Mega Salamence!

Ash- Agreed…which is why I sent someone on it…

Flying just above Mega Salamence was Pikachu while riding Ash's Mega Charizard. Once they were directly above Mega Salamence, Pikachu jumped off of Mega Charizard's back and onto Mega Salamence's.

Poke'mon Hunter J- What?!

Ash- Pikachu, thunderbolt!

Pikachu- Pika…CHUUUU!

Mega Salamence cringed in pain and was looking like it was struggling just to keep its HP from dropping to zero.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Shake Pikachu off your back!

Mega Salamence tried to get Pikachu off, but Pikachu held on tight.

Ash- Pikachu, thunderbolt again!

Pikachu- Pika…CHUUUU!

Pikachu shocked Mega Salamence again and Poke'mon Hunter J began to lose her focus.

Poke'mon Hunter J- **** this! Use dragon tail and bash that ****ing yellow rat off your back!

Mega Salamence swung its tail, but Pikachu jumped off just in time. Not only did Mega Salamence miss Pikachu, its own dragon tail attack struck its right wing.

Ash- Charizard, now's your chance! Grab hold of Salamence and use seismic toss!

Mega Charizard- (ROAR)

Mega Charizard quickly grabbed Mega Salamence and threw it to the ground and on top of J's Drapion and Ariados. Mega Salamence, Drapion, and Ariados were looking really hurt and struggling to get back up. So, Ash, Alain, and Sawyer decided to take advantage of it while they could.

Ash- Charizard, blast burn! Pikachu, electric type Z-Move! 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt!

Alain- Charizard, you use blast burn as well!

Sawyer- Sceptile, frenzy plant!

The Poke'mon attacks hit Poke'mon Hunter J's Poke'mon and nearly knocked them all out. But when it looks like they were going to beat Poke'mon Hunter J, she pulls out three strange crystals and feeds them to Mega Salamence, Drapion, and Ariados. Suddenly, all three of her Poke'mon were back on their feet.

Sawyer- What was that?!

Alain- Those are max revives! Those can restore a fainted Poke'mon to full strength!

Ash- Shit! Another annoying surprise Tabuu must've given her!

Things were looking bad, but there was one good thing for Ash and his friend out of it. Mega Salamence tried to fly back into the air, but it suddenly crashed back to the ground.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Huh? Salamence, what wrong?!

Then she saw that part of Mega Salamence's right wing was broken.

Poke'mon Hunter J- What happened to your wing?!

Ash- Of course! When Pikachu dodged that dragon tail, Salamence must've hit its own wing by mistake.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Tabuu, do something about this!

Tabuu (telepathically to Poke'mon Hunter J)- Not my fault you can get a bit reckless sometimes. I've already given you plenty of goodies. Just try to be a little more careful now that your mega evolved Salamence is at a disadvantage.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Bastard!

Tabuu (telepathically to Poke'mon Hunter J)- What was that?

Poke'mon Hunter J- Uh…nothing, sir!

Tabuu (telepathically to Poke'mon Hunter J)- Good. That's what I like to hear.

Rotom'dex- I just finished recharging your Z-Ring again…but this is the last time I'll be able to do it for this fight. My energy is almost completely drained…

Ash- That's ok, Rotom. This fight's almost over.

(Outside of Princes Peach's castle)

Pit, Dark Pit, and Dawn were still fighting Hades and Pyrrhon while the Centurions were holding Tabuu's Primids from reaching Peach's castle. Pyrrhon shot a stream of fire and Dawn had her Piplup counter with hydro pump. Pit shot a few light arrows from his Palutena's Bow and Dark Pit shot a ranged shot from hid Dark Pit Staff, but Hades dodged by flying into the air and above Peach's castle.

Pit- I'm not letting you get away that easily, Hades! Lady Palutena, I need the power of flight!

Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- You sure you want to fly after Hades like that?

Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- Yeah. Remember what happened when you tried flying after Pyrrhon? You would've taken heavy damage if Dawn hadn't showed up to save you.

Pit- Hades is more dangerous than Pyrrhon is! I can't risk Hades using this as an opportunity to try a sneak attack! Besides, I have a deferent idea on how to use the power of flight to climb Peach's castle. Hades won't suspect it.

Then Pit's wings began to glow and Pit ran up Peach's castle using the power of flight as a speed boost for his running.

Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- I didn't know you could use the power of flight like that. Clever idea, Pit.

Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- I would say that too, but let's be real here. Pit obviously got that idea from Sonic.

Pit ran up the outside of the castle until he reached the top, but not on the room.

Pit- If this is a trap, Hades would expect me to fly instead of running up the castle. Now where are you, Hades?

As Pit ran across the outside of the caste's structure, Hades eventually appeared flying next to him.

Hades- I'm right here, Pitty. Quite an interesting way to use the power of flight. But wasn't expecting you to follow me up here.

Pit- Then way leave in the middle of battle? To stalk up on souls like you tried to do during our last battle?

Hades- I wanted to get a quick peek at the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom without Tabuu knowing real quick. I hear she's as beautiful as a goddess, which would explain why Bowser kidnaps her in almost every Mario game. But since you're up here, let me perform a piece for you.

Then a bunch of energy balls appeared around Hades.

Hades- It's your requiem!

Hades fired those energy balls at Pit, but Pit managed to dodge them.

Pit- You call that music?

Hades- Just playing the overture!

Pit- Of course you are. Now I'm playing…

Then Pit turned to face Hades and managed to stop running while still sticking to the castle, despite the 90-degree angle. Then Pit put his Palutena's Bow into its spinning blade form and jumped towards Hades.

Pit- …The Finale!

Then Pit and Hades collided their attacks. Both the attacks caused Pit and Hades to fall back to the ground level where Dark Pit and the others were still fighting. Hades hit the ground, but Dawn's Mamoswine jumped into the air and caught Pit before he hit the ground.

Dawn- That was close. You're not hurt, my darling angel?

Pit- I'm fine, but could you please not call me that right now.

Then Dark Pit knocked to the ground by Pyrrhon.

Dark Pit- It you two are done gawking, how about rejoining the battle here!

Then Pyrrhon shot Pit and Dawn. The two dodged, but Pyrrhon made his flame turn around and hit Pit from the back.

Pit (thinks)- That's strange. I remember Pyrrhon's flames doing more damage when Kirby and I fought him on Popstar. I wonder…

Pyrrhon- Here comes another hot one for you, Pit!

Pit- Lady Palutena, activate the power of reflect!

Palutena and Viridi at the same time (telepathically to Pit)- WHAT?!

Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- Pit, in case you forgot, Tabuu's power always breaks the power of reflect like a weight to an egg!

Pit- Just trust me on this!

Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- Ok…Power of reflect!

Then a red barrier appeared in front of Pit. When Pyrrhon's flame hit the refection barrier, the flame bounced back and hit Pyrrhon.

Pit- I knew it!

Dark Pit- What just happened?! I thought Tabuu's power…

Pit- It's because they're not using Tabuu's power to make them stronger like when we usually fight Tabuu's followers. I've noticed Pyrrhon's attacks were weaker than when him and Marx attacked me and Kirby on Popstar. Not only that, none of Tabuu's followers are getting their energy drained like us. Now I realize they're using Tabuu's power to protect themselves from the machine the Deadly Six are using from draining them. And because of that, they can't use all of the benefits Tabuu's power brings.

Hades- Well done, Pitty! You actually figured out our little secret. I guess you were right when you side you can get your own ideas sometimes.

Pyrrhon- When did Pit tell you that?

Hades- It's actually a very interesting story. Before Pit went to see Dyntos for a new sacred weapon, I trapped Pit inside of my…

Pit- That's enough, Hades!

Hades- What's wrong? Don't you think that the readers of this fanfiction who haven't played "Kid Icarus: Uprising" would like to know what happened in Chapter 23?

Pit- If you bring that up again, I will hit your ***** as hard as I ****ing can until you beg Tabuu to let you die again!

Hades- Killjoy.

Dawn- Did Hades do something bad to you?

Pit- Let's just say he put me somewhere I don't ever want to go again! Really disgusting memory and I wish I could forget it!

Dark Pit- Trust me, you're better off not knowing, Dawn.
