Mini Chapter
"What's going on here?"
"Fools, this Dark Dome is meant to show you your most deepest, darkest and dormant memories and fears before your very eyes. And eventually, it will destroy you." said Nightmare's voice.
"You know nothing about our fears." argued Yoshi.
"If I recall Yoshi, you once struggled with trying to control your murderous tendencies as a WereDino."
"No not that, anything but that. I've been trying to supress those memories ever since those horrible nights."
"Watch closely and witness all the terrifying things you've done as a monster."
Yoshi soon gasped with shock as he was forced to watch memories of himself in his monster form wreaking havoc on the innocent people of Smash City, killing random people in cold blood, endangering his friends, and much more. It showed everything he had done, including his fight with a WereWolf. Yoshi was heavily traumatized to the point where he soon fainted.
When he woke up, he found himself covered with blood. Looking around the area he was in, it looked like a world filled with darkness and a raging storm, with lightning booming in the sky.
He looked around some more, only to be riddled with instant terror at the sight of all the dead bodies laying around, but to his horror, he soon noticed that they were the dead bodies of his friends.
"What happened, who did this?"
Then suddenly he came face to face with a large menacing monster. The creature had green skin, a white belly, a firm muscular body, a vicious head shaped like a cross between an Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus head, along with sharp teeth, razor sharp claws and three large curved sharp spines protruding from it's head. A lightning flash gave Yoshi a clear glimpse of the monster, recognizing it as himself in WereDino form.
"You did this." said the WereDino in a low, growling voice.
"You, I thought I got rid of you years ago. All the nightmares I had of you are about to come to an end." said Yoshi in a tone that sounded like rage.
The WereDino lunged at Yoshi and slashed it's claws at him. But Yoshi used his quick reflexes to dodge the attack and counter with a powerful punch to the jaw. The WereDino retaliated by slamming his tail into his side, knocking him across the ground. Yoshi recovered and rushed at his monstrous counterpart, ramming into him head first, following it up with a kick to the face.
"You can never get rid of me Yoshi, I am apart of you, I always will be."
"SHUT UP."
"All this prey, slaughtered by your hands, this should be great to eat, wouldn't you say?"
"I SAID SHUT UP YOU MURDEROUS MONSTER."
"If you got rid of me, then why are you still like that? Answer me, yourself."
"It's who I am now, and I'm used to it."
"It doesn't matter, you're gonna die."
The two reptiles resumed fighting, attacking each other with extreme aggression. Yoshi was fighting with determination while the WereDino battled with murderous intentions. Yoshi was starting to gain the upper hand, nailing the WereDino with several brutal punches to the face, followed by a tail whip to the stomach, a kick to the head and an uppercut to the jaw, which incapacitated the WereDino.
After knocking him out, Yoshi looked around the area some more, only to soon come upon the sight Sonic, who was still alive but covered with bloody wounds and bruises. Yoshi rushed over to him and held him in his arms.
"Sonic are you okay?" asked Yoshi.
Sonic opened his eyes and turned his head to look at him.
"Yoshi, why did you attack us?, I thought you were rid of your WereDino problems, I guess I was wrong." replied Sonic.
"Sonic you're my friend, I would never do anything to hurt you. I will do whatever I can to stop this, I promise."
"I know you will."
And with that, Sonic's closed shut and his body went, indicating he was dead. Yoshi slowly set him back on the ground.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish, he was nothing but a worthless hedgehog to begin with." said the WereDino who reappeared behind him.
"Face it Yoshi, all of your friends are dead, there's no one left to blame but yourself. You failed to control your actions, and this is what happened. There's nothing you can do about it."
"Don't you dare talk about my friends like that, you BLOODTHIRSTY KILLER." yelled Yoshi.
The sooner Yoshi turned around, his claws were bared out of his fingers and the plates on his head had turned into large sharp spines. With a huge burst of anger, Yoshi attacked the WereDino. Yoshi fought with intense brutality, thrashing his monstrous double with reckless abandon. The WereDino slashed his claws at Yoshi, who effortlessly dodged every slash and countered with his own, slashing a bloody wound across his chest. The WereDino roared with anger and rushed at Yoshi, leaping at him in mid-air. Yoshi took a running start and leaped at the WereDino, his claws ready to attack. A slashing sound was heard as the two passed by each other, landing back on the ground. They remained still for about several seconds until suddenly, the WereDino collapsed to the ground.
"Good riddance, monster."
Sonic found himself in a dark world surrounded by nothing but water, which was slowly starting to rise. The only piece of land he was on was a single large platform while the water was rising.
"Oh no, not water, if I don't find a way out of here, I'm gonna drown for sure." said Sonic.
Before long, Sonic soon spotted a watery being emerging from the water. Sonic instantly recognized it as Chaos. Chaos lunged it arms out in attempt to grab Sonic, who jumped out of his reach.
"Chaos. No wait, that's not really him, it's just a physical representation of my greatest fear."
Sonic took a running start, went into a Spin Dash and rammed into Chaos, knocking him back into the water. But it was far from over as Chaos reemerged from the water, now much bigger than before with larger arms.
"What, he got bigger. It doesn't matter now, if I'm gonna get out of the Dark Dome, I have to defeat this fake Chaos."
Chaos sprouted a tentacle from and lashed it at Sonic, but the hedgehog dashed to the side and came at him with another Spin Dash, sending him back in the water once again. But he leaped back out again, reappearing in his 2nd form.
"It seems that everytime he rises back out, he gets more bigger and more monsterous. I'll stop him one way or another."
Chaos shot out blasts of water from his hands, but Sonic narrowly avoided them and tried to hit him with a homing attack. Chaos swung his arm at him, knocking him across the platform. Before Sonic could even get up, Chaos grabbed him in his hands, holding him tightly. Sonic struggled to break free, but Chaos wouldn't let go as he began heading for the water. But just as he was about to reach the water, Chaos was rammed in the side by none other than Yoshi, who pushed him into the water, freeing Sonic in the process.
"It's a good I was able to get in here, otherwise you would've been dead by now." said Yoshi as he helped him up.
"Thanks for the help, I appreciate it." replied Sonic.
But their reunion was short lived when Chaos bursted from the water in a large shark-like form with razor shaped fins.
"I don't understand, why does he keep on changing, he looks more vicious than before." said Yoshi.
"Each time he gets hit into the water, he reappears in each of his different forms. The more he changes, the bigger and stronger he'll get." replied Sonic.
Chaos waved his fins forward, releasing dangerous energy waves which nearly hit the two smashers as they immediately dodged it. Yoshi tried blasting him with a jewel beam, but the water creature dove into the water, avoiding the blast. He began swimming in circles around them, creating water explosions by splashing his tail on the surface. Yoshi tried blasting him with a jewel beam, but he failed as Chaos dodged every hit.
"He's too fast, I can't even hit him. Maybe I can try a different method."
Speeding over to the edge of the platform, Yoshi waited for Chaos to swim pass him. As if on cue, just as Chaos came swimming by, Yoshi lunged his hands out and grabbed hold of his dorsel fin, stopping his movement. He then lifted him out of the water and over his head.
"Get ready Sonic."
"Got it Yoshi."
Sonic began to spin in place as he prepared to use a homing attack. Yoshi in the meantime kept his hold on Chaos, who struggled to break free, but to no avail. Once Sonic was fully prepared, Yoshi tossed Chaos into the air and Sonic soon went up after him. He slammed into Chaos's head with incredible force, sending him flying off into the distance where he splashed into the water. Sonic landed back down near Yoshi and gave him a high five.
"At least that worked."
"Not so fast Yoshi, he's not finished yet."
The water exploded as Chaos leaped back onto the platform in a more larger form. He now resembled a large frog/scorpion-like monster with multiple spider-like eyes, including two in the middle of his face, and a large scorpion like tail.
"Sheesh, you think he could get any bigger than this, how original." commented Yoshi.
"You have not lived until you've seen how big he really is in his final form."
Chaos leaped into the air and slammed back down, creating a deadly shockwave which Sonic and Yoshi easily avoided by jumping. Yoshi fired some energy bolts at Chaos, who inhaled them into his mouth, remaining uneffected. He then lunged his tail forward, but Sonic moved to the side and attacked with a powerful spin dash. Yoshi tried to blast him with another jewel blast, but soon had to move out the way to dodge the attack, thus cancelling out the blast. Chaos began trying to inhale them into his mouth, intending to eat them. But the two heroes were prepared as they both rushed forward and slammed straight into Chaos, striking him in the head again, this time with enough force to break him apart instantly as he splashed into the water.
"That takes care of him Sonic."
"Not just yet. Look at the water."
The two heroes focused their attention on the water as it began to behave wildly. The waves began to shake violently and create waves as Chaos soon emerged from the water in a much more enormous and savage looking, monstrous form. He resembled a giant watery serpent with a large snake like head, an elongated, razor sharp tooth reptilian mouth that extended far beyond its eyes, which now had reptilian pupils. At the base of his snake like body was a whirlpool and a cyclone. He also had two tentacles which extended from the base of his body. Chaos had now transformed into his most powerful form of all, Perfect Chaos.
"Now I see what you meant about how big Chaos really is in his final form, he's gigantic. Heck he's even more bigger than Giga Bowser or even Galleom, and that's really big." said Yoshi.
"At least now you see what I mean." responded Sonic.
With a loud roar, Chaos began flooding the area with huge amounts of water, attempting to drown the two heroes. Sonic almost felt the urge to freeze up, but he kept up his confidence and stood his ground, determine to conquer his darkness once and for all. Yoshi tried to blast Chaos with a jewel blast, but the attack only angered him. But in the process, he ended up knocking seven glowing gems right out of him.
"Chaos Emeralds, I know what I can use those for. Yoshi, gather those emeralds for me."
"No problem."
Yoshi sped across the water, dodging most of Chaos's mini tornadoes along the way as he dashed around him, heading for the emeralds. Then surprisingly, he flew into the air, grabbing each of the emeralds and tossing them down to Sonic, who caught them all simultaneously.
"Whoa, I didn't know you could fly."
"It's just one of the abilities I gained from the ancient jewel."
"Alright, now it's time to really let loose."
Sonic stood in place began to concentrate. The emeralds began to glow brightly as they floated in a circle around Sonic. They soon started to spin faster as Sonic continued. Clenching his fists tightly, Sonic began to undergoe a transformation. His quills stood up on end as his fur began to change color from blue to golden yellow, and his eyes changed to the color red. A golden flaming aura flowed around him as he floated in the air. Sonic had now transformed into the all powerful Super Sonic.
"Wow, he transformed into Super Sonic, amazing." said Yoshi in astonishment.
"Chaos, you're finished." said Sonic.
Chaos roared with fury and released a powerful energy blast from his mouth, aiming it straight at Super Sonic. But the emerald empowered hedgehog flew straight through it without taking any damage, going into a Spin Dash and striking Chaos in the face, making him roar with pain. Chaos lashed his tentacles at Super Sonic, but he narrowly dodged them and went high up into the air.
"Going down."
Spinning into a ball, Super Sonic went blazing back down with lightning speed like a comet. At point blank range, he slammed straight into Chaos with extreme force, which sent the creature plummeting into the water, creating a huge splash as a result. It was done, Sonic had finally defeated Chaos
"Now that takes care of him." said Sonic as he landed back down, changing back to normal soon after.
"Way to go Sonic, you defeated your fear." said Yoshi.
"It wasn't easy, but at least I had you to help me out."
But suddenly, the entire are went dark, and the water was replaced with land. The two smashers were confused as to what was going on. They found themselves in a world that looked similar to Smash City, only it was covered with pure darkness. They soon came upon the sight of Smash Tower up ahead in the distance.
"Look, it's Smash Tower. Let's go check it out Yoshi." said Sonic.
"Good choice Sonic." said Yoshi.
They both sped off towards the tower. The moment they reached it, they came across Mario who was unconcious.
"What happened to Mario?"
"I don't know, we better see if he's alright."
But they slowly watched as Mario woke up and stood to his feet. But before they could go over to him, Sonic and Yoshi suddenly spotted Shadow Mario coming out of the tower. Mario turned to face his doppelganger.
"You're finally awake, now let the fun begin." said Shadow Mario.
Before Mario could react, Shadow Mario charged at him with lightning speed and began beating him with reckless abandon.
"You call yourself a hero. What kind of hero has his arch enemy as an ally?" taunted Shadow Mario.
Enraged, Mario charged at Shadow Mario and tried to attack him. But all of his hits were blocked without difficulty and he soon received a brutal and very powerful punch in the face, all the while continuing to taunt him.
"Your brother is a coward, your beloved Peach is constantly in need of saving, and your best friend is a freak."
"Mario's in trouble, we gotta save him." said Yoshi.
Sonic and Yoshi made a rush towards them, but they soon got blocked by a massive cage that surrounded the entire area, with no way in, which prevented them from helping their fellow smasher.
"Shoot, Mario's getting thrashed in there, and we can't do anything to help him." said Sonic.
"I don't understand it, why can't we help him?" wondered Yoshi.
They were soon approached by a mysterious robed figure who was holding a brooch that had a symbol of subspace on it.
"You cannot interfere with this fight." said the figure.
"But why?" they asked.
"When Shadow Mario shot his darkness in, he sent a part of himself into the Dark Dome in order to deal with Mario himself."
"Who are you?" asked Yoshi curiously.
"I am what is left of or what should have been."
"Are you Tabuu?" asked Sonic.
The figure smiled and pulled off his hood, showing his face which was a combination of Tabuu's and Terrick's.
"I am the true ruler of Subspace."
"You mean you're-"
"I am the real Tabuu."
"But what about the one that we destroyed years ago?" asked Yoshi.
"The Tabuu you fought and killed many years ago was a corrupted version of myself. I exist now only to guide Terrick to make sure he doesn't end up like me."
"That would be bad."
"Also Yoshi, I have some very important information to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Terrick was suppose to be your friend and ally, but the corrupted evil took control of him and you must help him, also he is gaining a free will."
"It won't be easy, but it'll be worth a try."
In the meantime, Mario and his doppelganger were still duking it out, with Shadow Mario having the obvious advantage, though Mario was able to get in a few quick hits. During the scuffle, Shadow Mario continued taunting him.
"Bowser is evil, he will continually try to take Peach. If you are a hero and you love Peach as much as you say you do, then end it, kill him." taunted Shadow Mario.
In a fit of rage, Mario slammed Shadow Mario into a wall and punched him twice in the face.
"I am not like you, I am nothing like you." said Mario as he charged up a deadly fireball in his hand. But suddenly, Shadow Mario shapeshifted into Bowser, which shocked Mario.
"This is the part where you kill me right?" asked the fake Bowser.
But Mario backed away from him.
"Come on, use your fireballs, end this, you know you want to."
Soon, Shadow Mario turned back to normal and attacked Mario. Mario tried fighting with all his might, but Shadow Mario began to overwhelm him. He bombarded him with violent punches and kicks. Shadow Mario continued beating on him recklessly. The more Mario tried to fight, the more Shadow Mario would beat him savagely. Pretty soon, Mario was laying on the ground, badly beatened up and battered with horrible bruises.
"Face it Mario, you can't win, I'm more stronger than you and more smarter. You don't stand a chance."
But before Shadow Mario could even finish him off, Mario's eyes suddenly turned red and he became surrounded by an aura of fire. Now with increased power, Mario began attacking Shadow Mario, beating him with reckless abandon. Shadow Mario tried to strike him with a powerful punch, but surprisingly, Mario was moved with incredible speed, dodging his attack. Mario hit him in the face with a powerful punch, following it up with a kick to the side and a knee to the stomach, causing Shadow Mario to double over, thus allowing Mario to strike him with an uppercut punch. which knocked him against a wall.
"This is impossible, how could he be so powerful?" wondered Shadow Mario.
"Shadow Mario, feel the light of the Crimson Phoenix." said Mario as he manifested a giant burning phoenix body around his own. Waving his arms forward, he released it's power upon Shadow Mario, knocking him out cold.
Mario then returned to normal as the fiery aura disappeared and his eyes changed back to normal.
Link regained his conciousness and looked around his surroundings, notic that he was in the land of Hyrule, but something was different. The entire place was engulfed in twilight and the whole land was in ruins. Link was puzzled over the whole ordeal.
"What happened here, how did Hyrule get destroyed?,this is impossible." said Link as he wandered through the area.
There was no one in sight, the whole land was completely deserted. Eventually, he soon came upon the sight of Zelda's castle straight ahead. Desperate to find out what's going on, Link dashed for the castle. He pushed his way in and looked around, hoping to find Zelda. But he was proved wrong when he spotted his eternal nemesis, Ganondorf, sitting in Zelda's place on the throne, waiting for him.
"Ganondorf!" exclaimed Link venomously as he glared at the warlock.
"Greetings Link, welcome to my world." said Ganondorf in a sinister tone.
"How did this happen, how did you do all of this?"
"After I destroyed both you and the Master Sword, I drained the spirits of all thier light and took control of Hyrule."
"Where's Zelda?"
"Don't worry about her, she's locked away in the dungeon."
Link decided he had enough, his rage boiled up to the point where he wanted to explode with anger. With a shout of fury, Link rushed forward, sword drawn out, preparing to attack. With an evil smirk, Ganondorf stood up from the throne. Just as Link jumped at him, Ganondorf swung his arm into his face, knocking him across the room into the wall, slamming into it before falling to the floor.
"How pathetic."
Growling in response, Link lunged at him again, slashing his sword at him. But the clever villain dodged all of his sword attacks and kneed him in the stomach before punching him in the face, knocking him to the floor.
"Face it, you're no match for me, the more you try to attack me, the more you'll fail." taunted Ganondorf.
Meanwhile outside, Yoshi, Sonic and Mario were all busy fighting off a horde of twilight creatures. Sonic spin dashed into a Shadow Beast while Yoshi hit a Shadow Kargaroc with a jewel blast. Mario performed a Super Jump Punch on another Shadow Beast right before proceeding to hit two more with a midair split kick. Yoshi grabbed the arm of an attacking Shadow Beast and threw it into a Kargaroc, following it up with two powerful jewel blasts from his eyes. Sonic rammed his knee into the face of a Kargaroc, and then he hit an oncoming Shadow Beast with a homing attack. But they soon found themselves being surrounded by more Shadow Kargarocs and Shadow Beasts.
Mario ignited his hands with fire and unleashed his "Mario Finale", releasing a stream of fire which took out most of the creatures, but more of them came along.
"This is nuts, no matter how many of them we beat, they just keep coming." said Sonic.
"Not for long, I'm gonna end it all with just one powerful attack." said Yoshi.
Yoshi's body began to glow with red energy as he floated up in midair. Charging up as much energy as possible, Yoshi released a massive and powerful shockwave from his body, which completely disintegrated the entire horde in just a few seconds.
"Well, that took care of them. Now we can get to the castle and help Link." said Mario.
Afterwards, they rushed off for the castle.
Currently, Link was still having trouble fighting against Ganondorf. He was currently laying on the floor, covered with bruises and cuts while Ganondorf was laughing at him.
"Hahahahaha, give it up Link, you can't win." taunted Ganondorf
He then showed him a glowing Triforce symbol on his chest.
"Since I have the full power of the Triforce in my control, no one can stop me, not even you."
"I'll fight you one way or another, even if it kills me."
Stumbling to his feet, Link dashed at Ganondorf once more. But this time, Ganondorf caught him by the throat and lifted him off the floor.
"Give it up,you've failed. Hyrule is mine now, Zelda is my prisoner, and soon you'll be dead."
He then tossed him across the floor. Link tried to stand back up, but could barely move a muscle. Suddenly, as if on cue, the other three smashers came bursting in through the door.
"Not so fast Ganondorf, you're not gonna be winning on our account." said Yoshi.
"You just made a big mistake."
Before either of them could attack Ganondorf, they were suddenly confronted by a mysterious cloaked being ,who encased them in cubes made of Twilight.
"Good work Zant." said Ganondorf.
He then turned his attention back to Link, who was still struggling to get up but was still having some difficulty.
"Now to finish you off once and for all."
The four heroes could only watch as Ganondorf began to transform. His whole body began to change shape. His arms grew larger and more muscular. He began to look more beast-like as he transformed, looking somewhat like a giant monstrous boar with a large mane of orange hair. He continued until he was in full beast form. Ganondorf had now transformed into the savage Dark Beast Ganon.
"Look at you, a weak and minor individual trying to stop an all powerful being like myself. Once I destroy you and your friends, there will be no one left to stop me." said Ganon in a low, beastial tone.
But just as he was about to strike the fallen swordsman, he saw a small light glowing on his hand, which shocked him.
"What, this is not possible, what is that bright light?"
Suddenly, Link rose up off the floor, feeling a new power coursing through him. With renewed spirit, Link then spoke.
"Ganondorf, I have the courage to fight you, the wisdom that tells me I can win, and the power to defeat you."
The room was suddenly filled with bright light as three glowing beings appeared in translucent light.
"Wait, could it be, it's the Golden Goddesses, the very creators of Hyrule itself."
"It's just as the stories foretold, a long time ago when the world was in chaos, the three Golden Goddesses, Din, Farore and Nayru had created the world of Hyrule. As it was described, Din had cultivated the land and created the red earth, Nayru poured her Wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world, and Farore produced all life forms who would uphold the law" explained Yoshi.
"How do you know all this?" asked Mario.
"I read it in a book about the history of Hyrule, Link and Zelda gave it to me."
Now with a golden aura flowing around him, with his newly obtained power, Link charged at Ganon, who charged as well. Ganon swung his right arm at Link, but the Triforce empowered swordsman jumped out of the way, landing just a few feet away from him. Ganon then rushed at him, with the intention of ramming him. Pulling out his bow and arrow, Link shot him in the forehead with a powerful arrow. The impact was enough to make Ganon lose his balance and fall over. Recovering quickly, Ganon tried to ram into him again, only to miss as Link jumped on top of him, stabbing his sword into his back, which caused great pain for the monstrous villain. He then leaped off his back, slamming the soles of his boots on his head. Ganon once again tried to attack, only for Link to slash him across the arm. After striking him in the jewel on his forehead with a powerful slash of his sword, Link watched as Ganon eventually changed back into his normal form, falling to his hands and knees.
"No, this isn't what I wanted. I was all powerful, how could I lose to someone like you?"
"Because you don't deserve the power of the Triforce, you never did, and you never will."
With that, a ray of light was shot from the Triforce symbol on Link's hand. The light hit Ganondorf, encasing him between two images of the Triforce. Wielding his Master Sword in a noble manner, Link dashed forward and struck him repeatedly with powerful sword slashes. With one last powerful strike, Ganondorf was destroyed in an instant. Soon the other three heroes were freed from the cubes.
"We finally conquered all of our darkness, but why are we still in here?" wondered Mario.
Before long, the four heroes were approached by the cloaked figure that Sonic and Yoshi met earlier.
"You have all done well heroes, now use your powers and break this dome of darkness." said the figure.
He then gave the seven Chaos Emeralds to Sonic. Harnessing their power, Sonic was able to transform into Super Sonic.
The figure then turned to Yoshi and Mario.
"You both have great power inside you, you must unleash it."
"No problem." they both said.
Concentrating his energy, Yoshi's whole body began to glow with power. His skin suddenly started changing color, going from green and white to a shining crimson red and golden yellow. His eyes changed into a golden color. The plates on the back of his head soon turned into long and curved sharp spines. Two large and bright angel wings grew out of his back. He then turned to face Mario.
"Mario, you must harness your full power." said Yoshi in a mystical godlike voice.
"Right." said Mario.
Crossing his arms and going into concentration, Mario's eyes started glowing red. His overalls and cap changed from red and blue to a burning orange and red, and the M on his cap changes to the letters C and P. He also gained two large wings made of fire on his back.
"It is time." said Link.
All together, the four heroes combine their powers, producing a powerful beam of energy into the dark sky. The beam shot through the roof of the Dark Dome, in the process, triggering a powerful shockwave which caused the dome to crack and then shatter to pieces.
"What, impossible, how could they survive the Dark Dome, they should have been destroyed." said a shocked Shadow Mario.
"That's where you're wrong, light always triumphs over darkness, which in your case is quite uncommon." said Sonic as he and the other three heroes all changed back to normal.
"Here's the thing, we win, you lose. I think it's about time you stupid idiots get that through your moronic skulls. You're never gonna win, you know why your plans never work, it's because that you're too bird brained and dimwitted to realize that you're nothing but losers, absolute, thoughtless and brainless losers. Now if you'll excuse us, we must be going." said Yoshi.
With that, he and the other heroes turned to walk off towards their ships
"You're not going anywhere punks." said Hyperfire as he flew after them, attempting to attack. Before he could even shoot a fire ball, Yoshi quickly turned around and struck him with a jewel blast, knocking him out of the air.
"The only punks here are you and the other stupid villains over there." said Yoshi.
Afterwards, the heroes all boarded the ships and took off from the island.
"Come on, let's go." said Shadow Mario.
WarpMaster then created a portal and the villains all left through it.
Later on with the villains...
"IDIOTS, MORONS, BIRD BRAINS. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU." yelled Shadow Mario.
"CAN'T YOU WEAKLINGS DO ANYTHING RIGHT?, IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU IRRESPONSIBLE PINHEADS, WE WOULD HAVE THE JEWEL RIGHT NOW." yelled Ridley.
"It's all because you mislead us in our mission, if you two weren't so incompetent, those heroes wouldn't have beat us to the punch. If anyone in here is stupid and irresponsible, it's you two." said Dark Samus.
In a fit of rage, Ridley smacked Dark Samus hard into the wall.
"You ever talk to us like that again, next time I'll do much worse, is that clear!"
Dark Samus agreed and kept her mouth shut.
"But Shadow Mario, it's not our fault, the heroes took us by surprise." said Hyperfire.
"Oh shut up you idiot, you and Hydra are more incompetent than everyone else. I can't understand how you let yourselves get outsmarted by a pesky green dinosaur."
"Yoshi's the main reason we lost, he did nothing but insult us to make us vulnerable." said Hydra.
"Which proves just how stupid you guys are. Honestly, complaining about getting beat by a dinosaur, that is so childish." said Conor who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Don't you even start, your humiliation is much more worse than ours. Those heroes knocked you around like a punching bag."
"You better watch it Hyperfire, I don't wanna have to douse you with a fire extinguisher."
"I'LL BURN ALL THE FUR OF YOUR BODY."
"YOU WANNA GO, BRING IT ON."
"ENOUGH, YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS, IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTS." yelled Shadow Mario as he left the room and exited the base.
While outside, Shadow Mario saw what looked like some sort of large statue. Deciding he could care less, on a fit of rage, he destroyed the statue with a powerful punch.
"Hmph, pathetic rock."
"Noooo, my robot, it's ruined." said an unknown voice.
Shadow Mario looked to the right to see a mysterious man running up to the rubble of the statue. His attire consisted of a white lab coat worn over green scrubs, a stethoscope hanging from his neck and a pair of large spiral-patterned goggles.
"Who are you?"
"I am Dr. Insano. You crushed my rock robot, what the heck man. It took so long to make that thing with SCIENCE. You will pay for this." said the scientist.
"I don't care, I'm outta here."
Shadow Mario then turned to walk off, only to suddenly get punch in the back of the head by Dr. Insano. But he merely ignored him and continued walking.
"If you won't come and fight, then I will have to get you with SCIENCE."
Dr. Insano then pulled out a device that had a magnet on it labeled "Death Magnet". Turning it on, aimed it at Shadow Mario. And surprisingly, Shadow Mario ended up being pulled back by the magnet, getting stuck on it as a result.
"Amazing, you're not even made of metal, and yet you get attached to the magnet."
Shadow Mario soon lit the Death Magnet on fire, destroying it.
"Alright smart guy, you wanna fight, I'll give you a fight."
Dr. Insano tried firing green lightining at Shadow Mario, but the villain created a shield of fire around himself, blocking the attack. Shadow Mario then charged at Insano, punching him repeatedly in the face and performs a fiery uppercut punch, knocking him to the ground.
Soon the other villains came outside and witnessed the fight.
"What an impurity of hand to hand combat." said Dr. Insano as he got back up.
He then hit Shadow Mario with more of his green lightning."
"Ha. Your pyrotechnics are nothing compared to SCIENCE."
"But it is science."
"WELL I AM SCIENCERY."
He then ran towards Shadow Mario. Just as Shadow Mario was about to attack, Dr Insano kneed him in the crotch and hit him in the face. He then began punching him in the face a hundred times.
"Pow pow pow pow pow pow pow." said Dr. Insano repeatedly as he punched him. Afterwards he looked down at the unconcious villain.
"I warned him, he is nothing compared to SCIENCE."
He then turned to look at the other villains.
"As for you guys, I will be taking leadership of the group, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Suddenly a cloud of dark red and black appeared and grabbed him, going inside of him. It then came out of him and destroyed something nearby. Soon the cloud disappeared and Shadow Mario reappeared, looking more stronger than before.
"You may look more stronger, but I beat you once with the use of SCIENCE."
Dr. Insano then shot green lightning at Shadow Mario. But he instantly avoided it and grabbed him. He then encase him in a giant fireball and hit him up into the sky. Then he jumped into the air and kicked him down to the ground, forming a massive crater with Dr. Insano at the very bottom, badly hurt and burnt.
Shadow Mario watched as Dr. Insano crawled out of the crater.
"Oh god don't kill me." he pleaded.
Shadow Mario kneeled down in pain, some of his Shadow Bugs deteriorated, showing parts of Metal Mario. He then looked at the scientist.
"I should kill you, but I will not because of your technology."
Terrick then came walking up to them with a broken Anti-Magic Field Generator.
"When do I start?"
Meanwhile at Smash Tower...
"What an incredible mission. It was so exciting." said Shiida.
"I agree, those villains didn't stand a chance against either of us." said Sonic.
"I'll say." said Yoshi.
"Oh gee Yoshi, I never thought you would take it so seriously." said the bounty hunter.
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't act like you don't know. The whole time we were on the island, all you did was spend time making wise cracks and insults about the villains while we were fighting. Not only that, you mainly used energy attacks more than physical attacks. And those Phazon powers you had, they were just lame. If you ask me, you would have been better off without the Phazon. Face it, most of your methods for defeating supervillains alway involve trickery, jokes and one-sided comments."
"Now just a minute, I don't know where you got that stupid assumption from, but I'll have you know that I don't always use trickery to beat an enemy." argued Yoshi.
"Really, because the whole time I watched you fight Hyperfire and Hydra, you were just busy poking fun at them."
"I only did that to throw them off guard long enough in order to defeat them."
"How about this, maybe the next time you fight a villain, leave out the jokes and try being more forward and serious."
"Leave Yoshi alone, sure he may be a jokester, but he's still a great hero." said Zelda.
"Yeah, when he's not clowning around so much." commented Shadow.
"Don't you dare start that Shadow, you of all others need to learn how to show respect and support." said Sonic.
"I don't care."
"You should care, you're lucky those villains didn't kill you. You're nothing but a emo." said Yoshi.
"Watch it reptile, or else you're gonna get hurt."
"Please, I'm more powerful than you. Incase you forgot, I recently obtained the power of the ancient jewel."
"Alright that's enough already. I don't have time for these foolish arguments. Just forget it and focus on what's important." snapped Mario.
"Calm down Mario, no need to get mad."
"We've got a problem. There's some villain activity going on in the city."
"Where is it at?"
"From what I can tell, it seems that there are four villains heading for Smash City's Data Corporation." said Mewtwo.
"The Data Corporation, that's one of the most important places in this whole city." said Peach.
"What's so important about a Data Corporation?" asked Mega Man.
"The Data Corporation is the only place that holds top secret data files. If any villain were to break in and steal it, they could use it to for their own selfish needs. The more secretive data files are located in the underground portion of the building." explained Fox.
"Can't we just access the files from the Tower's main computer." suggested Jigglypuff.
"No can do, those files are government property."
"We have to stop them before they break in, we can't let them get that intel." said Charizard.
A few minutes later in the outskirts of the city...
"There it is, the Data Corporation, a place which is packed full of top secret information." said Masher.
"And with my skills, that data will be ours in no time." said another villain. He was wearing a black suit with orange wires that surrounded his body and a helmet that concealed his face.
"As long as those meddlesome heroes don't try to stop us, I'm sure everything will go well Plague." said a female villain who wore a green and orange spandex suit. She also had blond hair and purple eyes.
"If they do, we'll be ready for them." said a fourth villain who's entire body was coated with hardened steel.
The villains were all standing in front of a large grey colored building. It was the size of the Empire State Building, only slightly taller. It had glass windows all the way from top to bottom as well as a metallic sliding door. The guards that were standing in front of the entrance were already knocked out.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get moving."
Masher was just about to punch the door down when suddenly he was hit in the face by a spiny blue ball, which nearly knocked him off balance. The ball then landed back on the ground, revealing itself to be Sonic, whom was standing with Mario, Yoshi and Knuckles.
"Well Masher, long time no see, looks like you've got some new friends." said Sonic.
"Too bad we'll have to beat some sense into them." said Knuckles.
"Ha, you fools think you're a match for me, I am called Plague, I have the power to control all matter around me. Allow me to demonstrate." said Plague.
Lifting his arms up, Plague tore out a large piece of concrete that the heroes were standing on and tossed it across the air through the wall of a nearby small building.
"You're gonna pay for that." said Knuckles as he jumped out from the building and lunged for Plague. But before he could even strike, he was hit by Masher, sending him sliding across the ground.
"You're gonna have to try harder than that." said Masher.
"In that case, how about this." said Yoshi as he rammed straight into him with brute force, pushing him back a few inches. However Masher grabbed hold of him and slammed him into the ground. Plague in the meantime prepared to break into the building, only to be sidetracked by Mario, who elbowed him in the side. Plague tried to swat him away, only to be hit by a Super Jump Punch. Knuckles, who had recovered, went in to attack the steel coated villain. But the moment he struck him, he found that his attack didn't effect him.
"What an idiot, I am Steeltrax, my body is composed of steel, your punches can't hurt me, but mine can hurt you." said Steeltrax as he nailed Knuckles in the face with a punch that possessed the force of a brick wall. Sonic made a spin dash for the female villain, who simply stood there. But as if on cue, she soon kicked Sonic like a soccer ball. Regaining his composure he made another attempt for a spin dash, only to be kicked away came at her from the left and tried to hit her with a punch, but she caught his fist. Suddenly her hair changed from blonde to red.
"Why did your hair change color?" asked a shocked Mario.
"Miss Mimic's the name, mimicry is my game. I can copy the abilities of anyone I touch, including you." said the villain.
Before Mario knew it, he was soon hit by a fiery punch from Miss Mimic. Yoshi dashed out the way of an piece of concrete from Plague and punched him hard in the face. Masher tried to attack him from behind, but got sideswiped by Knuckles, who punched him with enough force to knock him onto Steeltrax.
"That's for the sucker punch you hit me with earlier." said Knuckles.
"Get the heck off me you big oath." snarled Steeltrax as he pushed Masher off of him. Sonic jumped up and dove at Steeltrax with a homing attack. But when he collided with him, he instead bounced off him. Sonic went in for another homing attack, only to bounce off once more.
"Stupid hedgehog, you homing attacks won't work on me."
Mario in the meantime was currently getting beaten on by Miss Mimic, who was bombarding him with fiery punches and kicks. Mario was on the verge of defeat.
"Once I finish you,I'll feel so relieved."
Just as she was about to strike him again, she was suddenly hit in the cheek by a kick, which carried plenty of force to slam her into a mailbox. When Mario got up, he turned to look at the being who saved him. The figure was female in appearance, she had long green hair which was tied back in a pony tail and she was wielding a shining silver blade. However, it didn't take long for Mario to recognize her.
"Lyn, is that you?"
"Sure is Mario, I came as soon as I knew there was danger in the area." said Lyn as she helped him up.
"It's a good thing you're here, these villains are thrashing us."
"I'm glad to be of help."
"You shouldn't have attacked me like that, now you're good as dead." said Miss Mimic. Charging up two fireballs in her hands, she shot them at Lyn, who effortlessly blocked them both with her sword. Miss Mimic shot three more fireballs at her, but Mario jumped in front and punched them all away with ease.
Yoshi meanwhile was dealing with the likes of Plague. Lifting up a massive boulder from the ground, Plague hurled it at Yoshi, who in response punched it back at him, only for Plague to shatter it in half, letting it go past him. Yoshi rushed at him and tried to attack, only to be hit from the side by a piece of the ground.
"Give it up dinoboy, you can't stop me." taunted Plague.
"Oh yeah, well I'm just getting started." said Yoshi as he gathered up strength in his tail. He then slammed it down with immense force, creating a shockwave which knocked Plague off his feet. Knuckles dodged a punch from Masher and punched him square in the chin. Masher charged at him and lunged his fists forward, attempting to crush Knuckles. But the red echidna used his strength to restrain his arms. However the force was becoming too much for him to take, he would not be able to hold out for long.
"Face it little man, you're finished."
"Not on my watch." said an unknown voice
Suddenly, Masher was hit in the chest by two explosive fireballs that came out of nowhere, which knocked him back. Catching him off guard, Knuckles took the opportunity to strike him in the chin with a powerful uppercut, knocking him out temporarily. Afterwards, he came face to face with a mysterious man. The ironic thing was that he wore a type of samurai-esque armor. He also wielded a katana blade in his right hand.
"Thanks for the help, whoever you are." said Knuckles.
"I am Ninjor. I am more than willing to be of assistance to you."
"Too bad I'm gonna have to crush you into the pavement." said Masher, who had regained conciousness.
In the meantime, Yoshi dodged a boulder that was thrown at him by Plague, who followed it up by punching the ground, causing a piece of it to erupt underneath Yoshi, which launched him backwards into a street light. Yoshi jumped to his feet, only to soon be hit by Sonic, whom was knocked into him by Steeltrax. Knuckles was soon knocked into them as well by Masher, followed by Mario being slammed into the wall by Miss Mimic. Lyn and Ninjor immediately rushed over to them.
"This is crazy, these villains are bashing us around like punching bags." said Knuckles as he rubbed his head.
"I'll say, Steeltrax over there really gave me a nasty thrashing, he's like a living steel wall." said Sonic.
"Who are you telling, Plague may look stupid in that suit, but he's got tons of power. In fact, my head is still spinning from when he hit me with that concrete." said Yoshi.
"Look, we can't let them win, it would be too much of an easy victory for these guys." said Lyn.
"We shall not allow these savages to gain victory over the forces of good." said Ninjor.
"That's what you think." said Masher as he charged at him. But right as he tried to smash him, Ninjor soon disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Where did he go?"
Pretty soon, Ninjor reappeared in the air behind Masher and kicked him in the head before disappearing again. He appeared in front of Plague, grabbed him and punched him in the air, he then jumped up and nailed him with a kick, slamming him into Miss Mimic. He blocked a punch from Steeltrax, grabbed his arm and tossed him into Masher. Pushing Plague off of her, an angry Miss Mimic shot several fireballs at Ninjor. But he dodged them all and countered by firing two of his own fireballs, which exploded the moment they hit her.
The others joined in on the fray.
Meanwhile deep down in the underground data storage room of the building, a mysterious robot had teleported into the room. Ironically, he was the size of an action figure. Looking around, he made sure the room was cleared.
He then proceeded towards the main computer. He then started off by plugging himself into the mainframe. Once he was fully prepared, he commenced with hacking into the computer's database, bypassing it's security program and gaining direct access to the data files
Outside the building, the heroes and the villains were still fighting. So far the heroes had the advantage. Sonic had ran in a circle around Miss Mimic, making her dizzy. Then Lyn had struck her with a punch. Yoshi ducked out of the way of a punch from Steeltrax, retaliating by sweeping his tail underneath him and knocking him off his feet. Yoshi then jumped up in the air, followed by Sonic jumping up with him. He then went into a spin dash, and Yoshi grabbed him. Charging him up with his energy, Yoshi tossed him down towards Steeltrax, who had just gotten back up. Before long, Sonic slammed straight into his chest, sending him flying straight towards Plague, crashing into him as a result.
In a fit of rage, Steeltrax got back up and rushed at them with full force. Yoshi began charging at him in response.
"You're making a big mistake lizard boy, I'm gonna run you down." said Steeltrax.
"I don't think so metalhead."
Just as they almost reached each other, Yoshi soon jumped up in the air. Once he was above him, Yoshi came down with all his strength, slamming his feet on the villain's head, forcing him to the ground. He then jumped off him, bashing his tail on his head after doing so.
"Even an steel coated idiot like yourself is no match for a hero like me."
But suddenly, his Super Sense went off, warning him of danger.
"My Super Sense. Oh no, there's someone inside the corporation. I gotta stop him before he steals all the data."
"You're not going anywhere." said Masher as he came at him. But right as he tried to hit him, Yoshi caught his fist and flipped him over, slamming him on the ground.
"Shut your mouth you stupid hulk knockoff."
Using his jewel powers, Yoshi engulfed himself in a bright light and disappeared.
Inside the data storage room, the robot was still extracting the data files from the mainframe. Soon, a bright red light appeared in the room, and then it disappeared as Yoshi teleported into the room.
"Just as I thought, there is someone stealing the data, and it's a toy sized robot."
Yoshi dashed up to the robot and grabbed him, yanking him out of the mainframe.
"How ridiculous, a puny robot stealing data out of a large computer mainframe. It shouldn't take long to dispose of this scrap metal."
But he suddenly got a surprise when the robot suddenly changed to a larger size, forcing Yoshi to drop him. He then jumped back as the robot turned around and fired lasers at him from his eyes.
"What kind of robot are you suppose to be anyway?"
"I am Neutro." said the robot.
"Neutro. What kind of lame name is that, it sounds nutty and moronic at the same time. In fact, you should be called junk bot, because you look like a rusted piece of junk metal." taunted Yoshi.
Neutro charged at Yoshi, trying to hit him with several punches. Being quick and agile, Yoshi dodged most of his attacks with relative ease. But when he tried to retaliate with a punch of his own, Neutro moved to the side in a Matrix-like style, completely avoiding the attack.
"How did he do that?"
But he didn't have time to wonder as he failed to avoid a laser blast from Neutro, knocking him against the wall. Just as Yoshi got back up, Neutro tried to strike him with a punch. But Yoshi countered by grabbing his arm and, with a powerful yank, broke it off.
"It feels good to lose an arm doesn't it tin head?"
Ignoring his taunt, Neutro attempted to hit him again, only for Yoshi to break his other arm off. Yoshi then jumped up above him and grabbed his head, tearing it off in an instant before Neutro could use his lasers. Yoshi soon proceeded to dismantle the rest of his piece by piece, tearing off his legs with intense force. After tearing apart the rest of his body, Yoshi scattered the pieces around.
"That didn't take long, at least I managed to dispose of that bucket of bolts."
But his relief went away when he noticed Neutro's body beginning to reassemble itself. All of the dismantled body parts reattached themselves in just a few seconds. After the arms were back in place, last but not least, Neutro's head soon repositioned itself back on top.
"He rebuilt himself, but that's not possible. Robots can't rebuild themselves, this one must be different."
"I am Neutro."
"I got a better way to stop him."
Charging up a ball of energy, Yoshi then shot a red energy blast from his hands. The blast hit Neutro with brute force, but surprisingly, it didn't do anything to him. Yoshi started to become desperate. He was dealing with an enemy who could take the full force of his attacks without being damaged. Before Yoshi could think up a strategy, Neutro took advantage by attacking him in a brutal manner, knocking him around the room with extreme violence. Yoshi tried to retaliate, but Neutro was too much for him to handle. The robot then bombarded him with a powerful laser blast, which injured him severely. Yoshi layed on the floor, having taken a rough beating from Neutro. He glared at the robot as it stood there motionlessly. Soon, the robot teleported out of the room.
"So what if I got beaten up by a stupid robot, at least the data files are still intact."
But what he saw on the screen filled him with great shock. He noticed that all of the secret data files were completely gone, there was nothing left.
"But this isn't right, how could the files be all gone."
Suddenly, an error appeared on the screen.
"Error: Virus detected in the computer mainframe. Oh no, this is horrible. Neutro must have infected the mainframe with a virus that completely downloaded all the data out of the computer. But what kind of virus would do that?"
"I would." said an unknown voice.
"Who said that, show yourself."
"It's me, the virus in the computer.
"What kind of virus is able to talk?"
"A smart one."
"How can that happen?"
"Look at the screen."
Doing as he was told, Yoshi looked at the main screen, only to see what appeared to be an evil looking, armored being whose body was composed of computerized energy. "Who are you?"
"I am called S.A.V.I."
"What does that mean?"
"Supreme. Artificial. Virus. Intelligence."
"How about this, Stupid. Artificial. Virus. Idiot, now that's a name."
"Face it lizardboy, you've failed."
"What do you mean I failed?"
"You failed to stop a bunch of villains, and you failed to stop the data files from being stolen. Some hero you turned out to be."
"I don't have to take this from a scrawny computer virus."
"So long lizard boy."
With that, the screen went blank.
"Rrrrrr, I can't believe I lost the data."
Outside, the other heroes were gaining the upper hand against the villains. With Steeltrax having been knocked out by Yoshi a few minutes ago, the heroes had turned the tables on them. Plague shattered parts of the ground with a powerful punch, and then hurled several pieces at the heroes. Knuckles punched his way through them while Lucario used his ExtremeSpeed to maneuver around them. Before long, Plague was hit by a punch to the chest from Knuckles, the force of the punch causing serious damage to his suit to the point where he could no longer make it function properly. Before he could do anything else, he was soon knocked out by a kick from Ninjor.
Lyn made short work of Miss Mimic by bombarding her with punches and kicks, finishing things up with a drop kick to the face, knocking her out cold.
Masher made a rush for Sonic and Knuckles, thrusting his fists forward in an attempt to smash them. But the two heroes rushed right under him and rammed into his legs with enough force to flip him onto his back. Just as he got back up, Knuckles grabbed hold of his right glove and yanked it straight off, destroying it after doing so. Sonic wasted no time in pulling off the other glove and smashing it on the ground. Now that he was vulnerable, Sonic and Knuckles performed a double team attack, starting with Knuckles performing a powerful uppercut, which sent him flying backwards in midair. Sonic sped after him, clutching two golden rings in his hands. With a burst of power coursing through him, Sonic went into a midair spin dash and zoomed forward like a speeding bullet, slamming straight into Masher with the force of a sledgehammer, making him slide across the ground until he came to a stop. As a result of the impact, Masher was knocked out.
"Well that takes care of these guys." said Sonic.
"At least the data is safe." said Mario.
Soon, Yoshi teleported back out of the building and reappeared in front of the other heroes.
"Yoshi, where did you come from?" asked Lucario.
"I just came out of the Data Corporation. The data is all gone. I found some robot named Neutro stealing the data files out of the computer's mainframe. I tried to stop him, but he overpowered me. And then I found out that he infected the computer with a virus that completely took all the data files."
"Well, that's a mission we failed for sure." said Mario.
"Anyways, let's get these idiotic villains back to the tower and have them locked up."
Afterwards, Yoshi contacted the tower and called the S.W.A.R.M troops to come pick up the villains. Soon, four convoy ships arrived and came in for a landing. The troops placed energy shackles on the villains and escorted them into the ships. Once they were loaded up, the ships all took off into the sky and headed off for the tower, followed shortly Yoshi teleporting himself and his allies back to the tower with his jewel powers.
Later back at the tower...
"So far we've got four villains locked up in the underground prison, hopefully no one will try to break them out." said Luigi.
"Well, we may have failed to protect the data, but at least we were able to capture some villains." said Knuckles.
"Does anyone have any idea what the villains are up to?" asked Squirtle.
"Wait a minute, I sense something, they've got something planned." said Mewtwo.
"They're intending to release an ancient beast from it's confinement." said Ninjor.
"What kind of beast?" asked Link.
"An ancient dragon of pure evil."
"A dragon, what do you mean?" asked Jigglypuff.
"Thousands of years ago, a pure evil dragon named Tragloc wreaked havoc across the land. The heartless monster left death and destruction in his path. All attempts to stop him had failed miserably due to his great power. During his rampage, he ravaged the Pokemon forest, destroying the land piece by piece. His presence soon drew the attention of the legendary Pokemon Groudon, Rayquaza, Palkia and Dialga. The pokemon fought valiantly to halt the creature's attack,but their efforts were in vain. However, the massively powerful dragon proved too strong and overwhelmed them with relative ease"
"Sounds like he's invincible." said Vector.
"Not quite, his rampage was again halted by a stronger force of good. It came in the form of a powerful white bird named Throcktar, whose's power easily matched Tragloc's. The two ancient rivals fought like never before. Tragloc's power was strong, but Throcktar was stronger. He countered all of the dragon's attacks with his own. After defeating him with a Pure Light Beam, Throcktar then cast a magical spell which sealed Tragloc underground in a cave. He then created a special stone out of the pure energy and placed it on a specially made pedestal that would keep the dragon dormant for the rest of an eternity."
"How are the villains gonna release him?" asked Peach in curiosity.
"Only by shattering the stone can Tragloc be released from captivity."
"Oh no, we've got to go stop those villains before they reach the cave. If Tragloc is awakened, he'll continue from where he left off. And they're will be no way to stop him." said Charizard.
"No, I won't let him harm anyone, not like last time." Lucario said.
"Whoa Lucario, it sounds like you've met him before." said Fox.
"I have. For you see, the truth is, Tragloc was responsible for the death of my clan. He was like a nightmare that was brought to life. But I was only a Riolu when he first struck."
Flashback...
The entire land was in ruins. Trees were smashed or burnt, and various Pokemon were injured or knocked unconcious by the destruction of the monsterous dragon. There, standing near the body of a dead Lucario was a young Riolu. He was riddled with guilt and depression over all the mayhem that was caused by the dark beast. His family and clan were all brutally murdered by Tragloc.
The dragon was like nothing he had ever seen before. It was a monster of pure evil. It had jet black skin, large blood red wings, two large horns which were curved backwards like those of a goat and a face that looked a demon. It's demonic red, snakelike eyes glowed with evil. It unleashed it's deadly purple flames across the land, burning it in an instant. The quadrupedal monster lumbered through the area, causing more and more destruction.
"How could this happen, that monster destroyed everything." said Riolu.
He was soon alerted by a loud roar which sounded like that of the legendary Pokemon, Rayquaza. Pretty soon, Riolu spotted said Pokemon falling from the sky and crashing into the ground. It didn't take long for Rayquaza to recover and fly off once more. This time however, Riolu followed after it. When he reached the specific location, Riolu gazed with shock at the sight of a vicious battle between Tragloc and Rayquaza along with three other Pokemon, Groudon, Palkia and Dialga.
"These Pokemon must have came together to try and stop Tragloc."
Rayquaza let loose with a powerful Hyper Beam, striking Tragloc with brute force. Groudon followed it up with a SolarBeam, then Palkia struck with DragonBreath, up until Dialga attacked with an Iron Tail. These attacks did nothing more than anger the dragon, who retaliated with extreme violence. It slammed it's long tail into Palkia, knocking it to the ground. The dragon then proceeded to ram straight into Groudon, who used it's strength to grapple with it, doing the best it could to restrain it. Rayquaza and Dialga both rammed into it from the right side. Palkia quickly recovered and grabbed hold of the dragon's tail. All together, the four legendary Pokemon managed to lift Tragloc in the air and throw the dragon to the ground. Standing altogether, the legendary Pokemon prepared to finish off the dragon. Groudon unleashed another SolarBeam, at the same time Rayquaza let out a Hyper Beam, followed by Dialga and Palkia unleashing two DragonBreath attacks. The beams all locked together to form a powerful blast which exploded on contact with Tragloc, creating a cloud of smoke around it. But it was far from over as Tragloc emerged from the smoke, blowing it away with it's wings.
Before long, Tragloc released a blast of dark red energy from it's mouth, hitting the four pokemon instantly. The blast instantly knocked out all of them in just a few seconds. But before the dragon could continue it's rampage, it was soon distracted by a loud screeching sound that came from the sky above. Soon it was struck by several blasts of pure energy. Out of nowhere, a massive glowing bird appeared out of the clouds.
"I don't believe it, it's Throcktar." said Riolu.
The two ancient creatures took to the skies, engaging in a vicious midair battle. The dragon unleashed it's fire breath, but Throcktar projected an energy shield which blocked the attack. He then countered by firing blasts of energy from the tips of his wings which hit Tragloc with enough force to make him roar in pain. Catching him off guard, the bird rammed straight into the dragon, forcing him to fall out of the sky and crash to the ground. In a fit of rage, Tragloc unleashed another dark red beam, firing it straight at Throcktar. In order to counter it, Throcktar unleashed a blast of pure energy from his mouth. The two beams locked together, pushing each other back and forth with equal force. The beam battle kept up for about two more minutes, until Throcktar managed to overwhelm him, sending him flying backwards and sliding across the ground. The force of the impact knocked him unconcious.
"So you witnessed all that as a Riolu. That's surprising." said Peach.
"After Throcktar defeated him, he sealed him away in a cave located out in a forest far away from here. Then he restored the land to the way it was before Tragloc attacked." said Lucario.
"And right now, those villains are planning to awaken that monster. We have to get to that cave first before they do." said Mario.
"Right." said the other heroes.
"But it won't be easy, if they managed to reach that dragon and release him, he'll probably kill them and then kill us next. Unless Shadow Mario can put him under his control." said Yoshi.
"This is gonn be tough, but we've gotta try the best we can to prevent it." said Sonic.
"I have a feeling that this one mission may soon be our last." said Samus.
Here's my mini chapter. It's a rather long one, but still a mini chapter.
Thank god that I'm able to write smash brother stories again.
Tune in next time for the next part of the story.
CHAPTER 6 & 7
RISE OF TRAGLOC PART 1 & 2
Later folks.
