Hey guys, PerfectPhoenix here. Thanks for those who reviewed my story. Now, here's the chapter you have been all waiting for!
Subspace Saga
Chapter 3
Corona Mountain Danger
"Darn it!" Greg yelled as his right wing was completely blown off. He was flying pretty close to the Shine Gate in Delfino Plaza. Even though Greg was focused on the battle at hand, he couldn't help but notice the calm night in the city. The Shine Gate was glowing with light thanks to their guardians, the Shine Sprites. It was dark as night everywhere else. It would have been a great night to relax, but Greg had a pilot that wanted to shoot him down.
"You're good, but I'm better." Wolf told Greg as he charged his laser to home in on the pilot. The wolf pilot fired it, but Greg pulled off an impressive barrel roll to bounce it off. He turned around sharply and fired several lasers, but those missed by a longshot. Wolf fired again, but missed as well. Greg pulled up to get some altitude on the Wolfen pilot.
"I can't let you do that Greg." Wolf told the red fox and boosted behind the Arwing, keeping it out of his range. A Smart Bomb was fired at Wolf, but he dodged it easily as well. Greg followed behind, firing his lasers. Some were beginning to hit Wolf's ship, and he couldn't lose the pilot following him.
Before this fight continued, both of them received a signal coming from inside Corona Mountain. It was a distress beacon. From Greg's scanner, the target's temperature was dropping rapidly. It wasn't natural at all.
"Greg, go back to the Academy and alert the Smashers. I'll be back soon enough after I check this out." Wolf told Greg over the communications channel.
"Fine. I'll hurry back then and get help. Try to not get yourself killed; you don't want to get me happy." Greg joked as he boosted back towards the school grounds. Wolf scoffed and flew towards the beacon to see a big looming figure. The pilot put on the brakes and slowed down to look. The figure was a dragon that seemed to be encased in ice. It was probably around fifteen feet tall, and double the length. Its yellow eyes took sight of Wolf's ship.
"Oh crap." Wolf said to himself as he boosted straight up. The creature roared as ice shards appeared around the figure. They were fired with a great precision that shot off the Wolfen's wings. Wolf grunted as he turned around and fired lasers onto the ice monster. It reflected and barely missed the ship by a nick. The monster unleashed a huge gust of icy wind, and this completely froze the ship. Luckily, Wolf ejected out in time and pulled out his laser gun. He landed on the ground, but kept his footing. The entire area around the monster was frozen.
"What the heck is this?" Wolf said out loud, as the monster looked upon him. It fired the icy breath again, as Wolf pulled out his Reflector shield. It had no effect as the pilot was encased in ice. The creature roared again and went back inside the Mountain.
Greg saw the radar blip for Wolf disappear, which wasn't good news. It meant that Wolf was in trouble. Even though Greg didn't like the guy, and he really didn't like Wolf, but he needs help. He couldn't leave him behind. The Academy wasn't far off now, and the radio was on.
"Fox, Falco, somebody come in! It's me, Greg!" He demanded through the radio.
"Greg? It's me, Clive. What's wrong? Did something happen?" His brother answered.
"We have some trouble at Corona Mountain in Delfino Plaza. A distress beacon was sent and Wolf was taken down." Greg reported as he went near the garage.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Clive asked.
"Yes, but it means Wolf didn't reach the beacon. I need to find the Smashers and tell them that Wolf is in trouble!" Greg told him over the radio as he pulled in. His twin brother came to the Arwing to get Greg out.
"Where is everyone at this time?" Greg asked.
"A lot of the Smashers go back to their Smash Mansion, but I think the patrol squads still hang around. We have to tell them what's up!" Clive reminded his brother. Both of them nodded and got going to the patrol sections.
"Do you see anything coming, or even sense anything off?" Luigi asked Mikee as both were around the school gates. The Light Warrior closed his eyes, trying to hear anything.
"Nope, nothing. The evil forces don't attack at night usually when there are so many powerful fighters here. You have nothing to be afraid of, Luigi." Mikee reassured.
"Are you sure? There might be ghosts, or even those giant Boos!" Luigi warned and pulled out his Poltergust 4000 and a flashlight. Mikee shook his head and sighed. He didn't really know the story behind Luigi's adventure in a haunted mansion, but all he really knew was that it terrified the green plumber down to the core.
"Luigi, the only thing ghosts are afraid of is light, and I can fire it straight out of my palms. Any ghost that decides to come within range can be completely destroyed. Remember?" Mikee reminded.
"Still, you can never be too careful." Luigi told him and turned on his flashlight. Mikee's senses heightened as he saw the two Lylatian foxes run over to the both of them. Something seemed pretty wrong for the both of them.
"What's up you guys? Shouldn't you two be in bed?" Mikee asked.
"There's a problem in Corona Mountain! During my dogfight with Wolf, there was a distress signal inside the mountain. Wolf told me to get help and then he vanished too. We have to go back!" Greg told him. Mikee thought about it and remembered that it was Samus who went there as well. It could have been Samus who sent the signal.
"I'll see Master Hand about it immediately. Meanwhile, you two get some rest. Leave this job to a Smasher." Mikee told them and vanished in his Shadow Warp. This was before anyone could say anything.
"No, there has to be something we can do right now!" Greg said out loud.
"Dude, let's go back to the dorms. The Smashers will help them, don't worry about it. I'm sure that Mikee is on his way now. Come on." Clive told his brother. Greg scoffed and walked towards the dorms with Clive following the twin brother. Luigi looked around, seeing as he was the only one there.
"Oh no…" Luigi said to himself. Just as he turned on his flashlight, a Boo appeared in his face. Luigi screamed and dashed off in a hurry, screaming for Mario. The Boo laughed and went invisible again, floating around the school grounds, hoping to scare someone else on this night.
"I see, so Samus hasn't returned from her mission." Master Hand told Mikee after he explained the situation.
"Master Hand, I could Shadow Warp myself over there to see what's up. If there's anything wrong, I'll pop back here." Mikee suggested. Master Hand thought about it for a second.
"Very well, but return here before the morning begins for school. Your mission for Corona Mountain is to find Samus and Wolf. See if they are all right. If not, then warp back here immediately. Is that clear?" Master Hand asked.
"Of course. I'll go immediately." Mikee told them and warped out of the conference room. Master Hand pondered about the situation going on at Delfino Plaza. He made up his mind. If Mikee couldn't handle the situation, then he would have to send a team to finish the job.
Mikee appeared in front of the Shine Gate in mid-air. The night was beginning to end, as the horizon was becoming brighter. The sun was going to rise soon. He floated near-by the Corona Mountain entrance to find Wolf encased in ice. It was really cold ice as Mikee closed his eyes. Four flashes appeared behind him as four colored spheres appeared. They were white, red, brown, and yellow. Those were the Power Orbs of Light, Fire, Earth, and Thunder. The Fire Orb went inside Mikee as his Aeros signs appeared bright red.
The situation called for the Fire Orb. At least he found the pilot, but where was Samus? It was further into the cave. He first had to defrost Wolf, and that was easier said than done. He began to defrost Wolf by placing flames around the ground. Luckily, his flames didn't cause a huge fire. The flames would take at least ten minutes to defrost the ice around the pilot, so Mikee progressed into the mountain.
Already, he had to flare up his energy because it was freezing. It was supposed to be a volcano, so something went horribly wrong. Eventually, he made it to the center of the volcano, where he did see a bunch of ice blocks. He went to each block, seeing the frozen Pintas, and Samus near-by one of them. He dashed to the block that contained the bounty hunter. Mikee began to defrost Samus by using some flames, as the sunrise began to set in the cave. It was pretty since all the ice was white, but something massive was moving on the ceiling. Mikee looked up and saw a huge beast. It was walking on four legs, had giant ice-like wings, and yellow gleaming eyes. It was a dragon, and it was gigantic. It detached from the ceiling towards Mikee, falling with a bellowing roar. Thanks to Mikee's quick reflexes, he was able to roll out of the way, but the creature's shockwave lifted him off the ground and slammed his fiery body into the ice walls. He recovered quickly and guarded from the monster's icy breath, which encased him in ice. After a fiery explosion, Mikee burst free from the attack and rushed at the dragon, sliding underneath and driving a fist into the creature's chest. This had no effect because once his fist made contact; Mikee's arm was encased in a chunk of ice.
"Ow, what's this?" Mikee yelled as the dragon spun around and whacked the warrior into the wall again. He shattered the block on his arm and then leapt straight up. His signs became white and he focused his energy to create his signature move.
"Take this! Ultimate Shine Beam!" Mikee yelled and fired his energy beam straight at the monster's face. It guarded using its icy wings and the beam was reflected back at Mikee. He grunted and was hit head-on, crashing against the slippery ice. The creature created icicles in the air and threw them at Mikee. He reacted and leapt straight up, dodging the lethal spikes. He wanted to find a way to continue fighting the monster, but his objective was clear. Samus was right there next to the monster. There was a way to get her out, but it would require a lot of power. His signs went back to bright red as he unleashed a huge stream of fire at the creature. It responded with icy breath as it cooled the fire quickly and almost froze the warrior again. He made a quick dash for Samus to at least knock her block out of the way. As he dashed, the dragon stomped the ground and created ice spikes along the ground.
Mikee took to the air to avoid being skewered, but the monster created its spears in mid-air and fired them again. The warrior's energy flared as he blasted each and every spear thrown at him, creating a hot mist due to the water evaporation. Soon enough, the mist was too hard to see through, as the creature moved around and roared out shockwaves. This cleared the mist and launched Mikee out with Samus's cube. He slipped on the ice and slammed face-forward into the Shine Gate, shattering the bounty hunter free. The dragon came out from the cave, flapping its wings again. It roared loudly and fired an icy beam at Mikee while he fell.
Samus's missile stopped it from harming the warrior, as her Varia Suit powered up. The dragon moved its head to aim for her, but Mikee rose back up again, cracking his knuckles.
"Samus, what is this thing? Does your Scan Visor say anything about it?" Mikee asked. She began to scan it quickly before it made a move. On her visor, a Pokeball symbol appeared as name and information appeared.
"It's Kyurem, the Boundary Pokemon that's only indigenous to the Unova region. It can generate powerful freezing energy and produce ultra-cold air. Physical contact is very ineffective since getting close will freeze you in an instant. Some of its moves are Glaciate, Ice Beam, Hyper Voice, and Dragon Pulse, and it's registered as a very tough threat!" Samus explained as she Grappled to the top of the Shine Gate. She had to get a better shot if she wanted to knock this creature out.
"Well, my Light-based attacks aren't doing a thing either. Every time I fire at it, the monster just reflects it back." Mikee told her and looked around Delfino Plaza. Luckily, no one noticed their dilemma. "If it reflects an attack here, someone could get hurt." He said. Samus noticed it too and lowered her gun. Kyurem wasn't as merciful as it prepared another Ice Beam attack.
"Get to your ship! We have to lure it away from the island!" Mikee told Samus as his Ultimate Shine Beam collided against the Ice Beam, both evenly matched.
"Where can we fight this thing then? I don't have any suggestions." Samus asked.
"Just get to your ship and follow me!" Mikee told Samus as he absorbed the Electric Power Orb and floated in the sky. His hands crackled with electricity as he fired numerous lightning bolts at the creature. Mikee needed to distract the monster so Samus could get to her ship safely. The bolts hit the creature, but didn't seem to have any effect. It must be the Pokemon type difference, as the dragon paid attention to Samus again.
"Samus, watch out, he's aiming for you!" Mikee yelled as he powered up to his Perfect Mode. She turned around on her heel and fired several missiles, exploding on the dragon. Kyurem roared in some pain and used Hyper Voice. This pushed back Samus and Mikee off the ledges and into town. Mikee landed in the water while being electrified, making him yell out in pain as he cut it off and floated back up with force.
"This thing is rightfully pissing me off!" Mikee yelled and charged his energy. Kyurem noticed him flying straight up into the morning sky. Samus got back onto her gunship and followed Mikee as they flew towards the horizon. As planned, Kyurem flapped its ice wings and loomed over the island as Pintas came out to peek.
"Good, Kyurem is following us. We have to take it to Dry Dry Desert! It's the best place to combat this monster!" Mikee told Samus as he landed in Samus's ship, looking pretty tired.
"Well, hang on, because this thing is really mad now!" Samus told Mikee as the ship jerked to the right, dodging the Ice Beam attack.
"Hey, take the ship back to the Academy! If we get close, the others will notice and help attack Kyurem with us!" Mikee asked.
"We can't go to the Academy with Kyurem on our tails. That would endanger all the students. It's way too dangerous!" Samus scolded. The ship continued to jerk around and this made Mikee tumble around. This time, icicle spears were being thrown at them.
Samus's ship began to bleep for a communication channel. She activated the radio to talk with Fox.
"Samus! You're all right! Mikee's mission was a success?" Fox asked.
"Yeah, but we have a ten foot long and tall problem following closely behind us! I can't shake it off either!" She told the pilot.
"Bring it near the school's area; we'll get rid of it for you. Don't worry about endangering the students. We're using one of our secret weapons to help." Fox told them. This seemed to confuse the two, but a blast hit the ship, slightly damaging the transport.
"Mikee, can you try to hold off Kyurem until we're close to the Academy?" Samus asked, but Mikee was already outside her gunship. He looked pretty determined for something. Before, he seemed pretty frightened about this, but now he was serious. He had to do this for survival. The warrior cracked his knuckles as Kyurem created several energy blasts, which was the move, Ancientpower.
"All right, time for me to test this out." Mikee said to himself as he charged for his Aeros Dash. The Boundary Pokemon roared and fired the blasts. They went in an arc all around the ship. If it hit, the ship and the both of them could be flying their last flight.
"Aeros Defender!" Mikee yelled and punched the ship's hull. That did no damage, but he emitted a huge white shielding. It covered the shield in a sort of bubble. The attacks charged and exploded, pushing around the ship, but leaving it perfectly safe. Mikee was the one that took most of the damage, but he kept the shield up.
"Keep it up, we're almost there!" Samus told Mikee. He grunted as he blocked off most of Kyurem's Ice Beam attacks.
All of a sudden, a huge blast came from the front of the ship, striking Kyurem and making the beast roar in pain. The two looked to see a giant battle-cruiser ship come to their aid. It fired off another blast, but this missed as Kyurem turned around and went back in the direction of Isle Delfino.
"Welcome back you two! Are you guys all right?" Dawn asked through the radio on the Cruiser. Samus heard a thud as Mikee landed on the steel floor. He showed the bounty hunter a thumbs-up.
"We're fine, but I have a feeling I'm forgetting something though." Mikee said while he was on the ground. Samus thought about it but couldn't think of much. She remembered the Pintas, but they weren't injured at all. They were just frozen like her.
"This is a perfect mission for the students to try out though. Besides that, come on home you guys." Dawn told them as Samus pulled into the garage.
Yeah, shorter than usual, but it's because I'm kind of angry myself. See, after this is posted, I'm going to delete the first page of this story because that's the form, and people submit the form without reading that I stopped accepting a long time ago, so now, I'm kind of mixed up and bunched up on OC's. If I was full before, I'm full now.
So, the characters I'm officially accepting for now are mainly the ones that were in the beginning as well as the ones that I liked for now. The ones I really liked have appeared already, and more will appear later.
Yes, the mini-boss is Kyurem, a legendary Pokemon in Unova. I always thought that the Pokemon was wicked-looking and would be a perfect boss not normally tossed around. Sure, I think I might be making it more OCCish since I don't think Kyurem flies, but still, it's a Mini-Boss. What can you do?
Finally, college is coming up soon, which will really put a damper on my update schedule. Finally, I appreciate you guys reviewing my other stories, but please, I'm doing Power Academy as best as I can. I really like it, but Power Academy will update when I can. I'll be updating my other stories and focus on Power Academy later on after a few more updates.
So, I leave you with my other stories to read, and see you on the next update!
