Wing: Here comes my debut. You idiots, you better be careful...
Alex: Wing! You shouldn't say to the readers that they are idiots!
Ayumi: Yeah, you shouldn't... Oh no, the pages are full...!
Alex: Here comes the episode 4!
Let's review the previous chapter. Previously, we were ordered by MH and CH to go to The Grassland, and to retrieve the Fragments there. However, we were suddenlyattacked by two mysterious persons, one boy and one girl. Their name were Jonathan and Cola... However, we managed to defeat them, retrieve some Smash Fragments, and get two levels there. We also managed to unseal Mario... Sealing counts as unsummoning it, for the record. Anyway... Our next destination is his homeland... or rather, Mario Universe...
As we were walking through...
"Huff, puff... I estimate just some meters before... we arrive..." I said, a bit exhausted.
"Aaah, here we are! Isn't that your homeland, Mario?" Ayumi asked. He replied with an nod.
Joseph went to a item shop.
"Hello! What can I buy for you? Take your time!" A Toad said.
Smash Coins: 10
Mushroom- Costs 2 to buy it. Recovers 100 HP.
Syrup- Costs 2 to buy it. Recovers 5 EP.
1-UP Mushroom- Costs 4. Casts the weakest version of Life, which brings back an ally to life and recovers just 1 HP. No invincibility, so you better hope the enemy is far!
I took a look at this.
"We'll buy two Mushrooms, one Syrup, and a 1-UP Mushroom." I said, taking the 10 Smash Coins to the Toad. He gave us what we need at the moment.
"Thanks! Be sure to come back later!" He said.
"It's useful, so remember to farm them!" Joseph said.
"Farm?" I repeated in utter confusion. Cody had slammed Joseph's butt so hard, he winced in pain.
"He meant to say that you should defeat the monsters, because they drop Smash Coins... and EXP, too. The monsters are going to be harder to defeat from now onward," Cody suggested. Alex and Ayumi nodded, but Joseph failed to.
"Ugh, no need to hit me, Cody!" Joseph protested.
Peach's Castle
We entered into that castle... Yes, we were supposed to ask Peach to take her with us...
"Oh, hello. What can I do for you? Oh, hey, my prince Mario!" Peach blushed at the sight of Mario.
"Prince?" Ayumi was confused. I explained to her that Mario had saved a countless times the princess Peach, from that evil Koopa, which was named Bowser. Now she know that.
"Um, erm, hello there... Erm, um, I am explaining, erm, why am I here..." I muttered some times at start of sentence, since I wasn't so used to formalities.
After explaining the whole incident we have, about Kirby (A/N: Surprised? You thought I'd forgot him, that puffball?), about our weapons, and about Smash Fragments, Peach gasped in shock.
"Oh my! Last time we were in a tournament, that whole situation didn't happen!" Peach shouted.
"Alright, I'll join you... Our last adventure was when I had to rescue you Mario, right? And that SPM* adventure... But first, I do not know if we can convince Bowser to join us. He was evil as to kidnap me a countless times..." She said.
"Alright, let's go!"
"HELP!"
We looked around in shock as someone was calling us for help... and we saw tons of Toads running away. Just then, there was a floating airship... That must be Bowser's airship, isn't it?
"Not you again, Bowser!" Ayumi shouted, and just then he slammed down to the terrain.
"Hehe, now that saves us TIME for me to ask you to join us..." I grinned.
"Firstly, I'm here for that princess! We need it for our marriage program! And secondly, I will have a deal: if YOU win, I will join you, alongside Bowser Junior. Lose, and I'll roast you! Bwa ha ha ha!" Bowser growled.
"Alright, here we come!"
Our party, Mario and Peach VS Bowser and Bowser Junior
GO!
Ayumi used her active skill, Scan, to scan them.
Gestruyge explained. The duo evil Koopa... Their names are Bowser and Bowser Junior or Jr. Bowser's HP is 1100, and Jr's HP is 1000. Bowser's ATK, DEF and SPD are 26, 27 and 18, while Jr's ATK, DEF and SPD are 23, 22, and 14. Bowser may unleash Flamethrower on you, dealing fire damage and sometimes Burn, while Jr. may use Super Mushroom, which heals 500 HP for Bowser or him. Thankfully he has only one... Anyway, they are the archnemesis of Mario...
Peach stared at Ayumi's weapon in shock. It can talk... didn't we say that already?
"We have no time for staring!" Cody protested.
Mario used its Fireball ability to deal some good damage to Bowser Jr, I followed him with Uzigun, giving heavy damage to him. He should be at around 918 HP. I then cast Speed Up, and managed to do it on myself, so I pretty much already exhausted my EP. Cody followed it with Elements level 2 Ice, Earth and Dark, damaging them much. He also managed to blind Bowser Jr. Bowser, to retaliate us, used Flamethrowed. Ayumi and Joseph managed to dodge it, Cody and Alex took some damage, but I was unlucky as I took heap of damages and Burn. I now have 20% of my HP.
"Ow..." I groaned.
Ayumi healed me with Heal, returning me to 50% of my HP and curing Burn using Status Cure L1. Alex used Attack Up on himself, and luckily he regained 1 EP just in time, so he used Enlarge Weapon, and attacked the two Bowsers. Joseph followed it with Hammer Slam, flinching them.
By now they have half of the HP. Jr used Super Mushroom and healed Bowser, however I used Syrup from earlier that I bought, restoring 5 of my EP. I used Uzigun again on Bowser, and luckily it dealt a critical damage. Now Bowser is flinching and he has 60%.
Peach had to start attacking again, following it with launching her umbrella and damaging Bowser Jr, bleeding him in the process.
Cody was about to use Elements L2: Ice, when a rock suddenly slammed down on Bowser's head, damaging and confusing him. Now he won't have to worry about it... but I looked for the source.
It was up in sky. It was Bowser's airship... was it being controlled...? Then it fired the cannons on the two Bowsers, dealing damage and unluckily hitting our party. Ayumi had taken fatal damage (150), but luckily her passive skill 1 HP had somehow made her survive. Joseph also took damage, though it was half as what Ayumi took.
"What the hell! I always-" Bowser was cut off by the voice of a man on the airship.
"Your use is no longer needed, idiot. I'm the Ancient Minister, while you're a wimp. Your name is Bowser, right?" The man said.
"GRAAAAAAH! Yeah-"
"Then I shall be eager to throw a last ball on you guys... including you, Michele!" I was in shock, how did that man who calls himself "Ancient Minister" know my name? Has HE spied on me?!
"How-" I was cut off by the sound of the cannonball shooting... it landed on a surface.
"It missed, so I guess he doesn't know how to launch a ball..." Cody trailed, before the ball glowed purple.
"Why is it glowing pur-" Ayumi was cut off by the ball floating...
then it floated. And it floated more... before glowing more purple... then there was the soundwave.
"Ouch! What is the sound...and why is...my powers...disappearing..." Ayumi said, before fainting.
"Ayumi! Ugh...Why am I..." Cody fainted, too. Oh my, why are they fainting?!
"Hrr! I can stand... up..." Joseph was the next to faint... what the hell, why did Joseph, the strongest man with defenses, faint?!
"Ayumi! Alex! Joseph! Cody!" I shouted, also noticing Alex fainting with a thump. Bowser and Bowser Jr seemed to have fainted... but Mario and Peach somehow didn't...
I jumped startled when a man jumped off here, near me. It was a man who looked like Marth, what with his look...
Expect he isn't Marth.
"Marth! Why-" I cut Mario short, replying quickly that he isn't Marth. One smasher wouldn't suddenly jump here to this world, unless a wuss, or at least I mean a serious danger, was happening!
"Remember my name... Wing... let's finish this off anyway, cretin..." The blue-haired man shouted...
Me VS Wing
GO!
Your party's HP and MP has been restored for this fight.
"How dare you call me 'Cretin'?!" I shouted, using Uzigun at Wing and damaging him. I couldn't see how much HP he has, but the bar was down to about 90% HP.
"Let's see you try, random guy..." Wing taunted me, as he used his signature attack... "Upperslash!"
He pointed the sword at me: I tried to dodge by jumping back, but he jumped too, and swinged his sword upward, then he shouted...
"Downslash!"
He slashed down, thumping me to the ground and taking some damage. I was now at 60% HP.
"Damn it!" I shouted as I used the Mushroom I had in stock, repleshing me to full.
"Heh, you should try it for you. Assuming you somehow survived my signature attack..." Wing said as he got in a position that I think looks like he was going raging... then an blue aura popped up over him.
"What the hell is that aura you have? This doesn't do anything..." I trailed off.
"Oh? This is my overlimit special... You know, this thing that gives you resistances to flinch, and increase in your stats. Also, with this, you can unleash my special skill that ancient heroes only know. Not only, but also ancient enemies know this skill. It even has rank..." Wing tried to explain...
"Ancient skill? Cheeky, you say...?" I grinned, hoping that at least he doesn't understand it, but I was wrong.
"Oh... you dare say it? Let's see... I think I can try out my skill on you. It's my first time using it..." Wing trailed, and I had no time to react as he unleashed his special skill. Everything around me became black.
"Mystique Skill! Level 1!"
Running away was NOT a option, I was locked in his skill. He continually slashed me, kicked me in my torso, made a shockwave to give a scar mark (Cut, I mean!) to my arms and legs, and he unleashed his mystique skill.
"Heartcutter!"
He thrusted me into my heart... at this time it was all over for me... All hope is lost... It was game over for me...
"GAARKKH...!"
Heartcutter - Wing's mystique skill Level 1. He stabs/thrusts the enemy into his/her heart, attemping to cut it. High damage, 100% Bleed that isn't affected by resistance but still affected by immunity, and a chance for the Instant Death.
I blacked out, lieing into the ground.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...p..."
"...up..."
"...ke up..."
"Wake up..."
"WAKE UP!"
"Ack!" I shouted startled and jumped off the bed... Bed? Wait a minute...
"Ugh, where am I? I thought Wing took my heart and killed me... Are we in heaven...?" I said, holding my head, because it hurts...
"Are you dreaming about a game?" a girl finally pinched my cheek, bolting me awake.
"Where am I...? And why do you look like Ayumi...?" I looked around, but that girl was gone.
"Must've been a dream... I better look around." I sat up from the bed, and tried to open the door, but it was locked.
"Damn it, I'm trapped... I'm probably going to die..." I whimpered... but just then, a girl unlocked the door. It was... Ayumi?
"Ayumi...? What are you doing?" I reminded her.
After she explained of what happened, and what we were doing, I was in shock. Wing actually defeated me?! Now I remember, HE had unleashed his mystique skill that blacked me out. At least my heart is alright, I'm glad that the info didn't say that it could cause real death. It frightened me off, and I'd rather NOT hear it again. Continuing to normal, anyway...
I'm glad you're alright, Miky, Pistolia said.
We went through the door into another room of what seems like a room. There was also the three guys...
"Alex! Cody! Joseph! I'm glad! I shouted again.
"Miky!" Cody and Joseph said together.
After discussing what happened, including the 'Ancient Minister' that locked us, and someone forgetting to lock the door and being defeated by Ayumi, we tried to go to that another room that leads us to living room, but we were blocked by that familiar man. Good thing we brought our weapons...
"Wing! Not you again!" I shouted, Joseph and Cody was also agreeing, but Ayumi wasn't.
"Heh, it looks like I've met you again..." Wing smirked. I was about to charge, but I saw Ayumi, who was sobbing... What could be wrong?
"Wing...? No, it can't be..." Ayumi muttered.
"Hey, darling, want to marry me, my love?" He tried to flirt, but Ayumi shoved him away, and kneeled down.
"How can it be...? My best friend, Wing... now an member of the enemy? The friend... that betrayed me just now...?" Ayumi finally began to sob, Cody and Alex going over to comfort her.
"It's all right, Ayumi..." Cody tried to comfort, but she shook her head.
"How DARE you betray Ayumi!? She said YOU were her best friend! What KIND of best friends BETRAYS their!? Why... WHY did you DO THAT, you idiot?! What has she done for you to deserve it?!" Joseph said, shouted louder and more louder with each sentence.
"Heh, she is useless now. And you, with the guns. I assume your name is Michele, right? What an surprise you were alive, my cretin..." Wing taunted, making ME angry, and so even Ayumi, who finally sat up, now no longer crying.
"How dare YOU TRY TO KILL ME WITH YOUR so-called MYSTIQUE SKILL?! YOU BRAT! YOU BETTER BE SORRY NOW THAT AYUMI HAS SAVED US!" I fumed in utter rage, as I charged over him.
"YEAH! WE'RE THE HEROES! We cannot be defeated by the likes of you, fool!" Joseph continued, making Cody continue.
"When I'm the master of the elements, YOU cannot DEFEAT me, you WHIPPERSNAPPER!" Cody fumed, with Alex trying to talk for morale, with no luck. Remember when I said he cannot talk?
"Wing, I'M GOING to GET you BACK, you fool! You CAN'T just side with the Ancient Minister! PLEASE, just AT least RETURN TO your old SELF!" Ayumi fumed.
We charged at HIM!
To be continued...
Wing: You idiots, there are two parts! Can't you realize it?!
Yuyimoko: Heya Wing! You shouldn't be rude.
Akamatsu: Yuyimoko is right this time, you're a bit rude sometimes!
Alex: Do I have to battle him next episode?
Ayumi: Unfortunately, yes... But I will bring HIM back! At all he's my best friend!
Michele: Here comes the preview for the episode 4 part 1. Chiara, can you show the readers?
Chiara: Sure thing, brother!
"Oh? I'm fighting five enemies. I should use my overdrive..." Wing said as he activated the overdrive.
"Ugh!" I shouted as I was pushed back.
"Heh, nobody will beat me!" Wing cackled.
"Overlimit... ACTIVATE!" I shouted, and so everyone was, too. We've finally awakened the overlimit.
"What?!"
Meanwhile, in another world...
Meta Knight looked up at the skies...
Chiara: We have more previews...
Michele: Yeah, we are a bit lucky.
Wing: I wouldn't call that lucky, my rival...
Michele: How dare you...?!
Alex: Sorry for that ruckus... Here, we can now finally show the saving data part, and then...
Chiara: Tsk, you shouldn't say it.
