Chapter 5: Innovation

Super Smash Bros. [F-Zero, Mute city]

Somewhere in the illustrious Mute city in a corporate tower, an innumerable amount of scientists and robots hastily worked through their busy environment, creating technology and innovative versions of items like furniture, home appliances, and other things to sell. It's a thriving business famous for it's creative way of upgrading and successfully enhancing the items to be far more breakthrough for the consumer. Funny thing is, that the corporation is run by Amiibo's most notorious masterminds partnered up for a more profitable way to world domination: Doctor Ivo Robotnik (or Eggman as more acceptable) and Dr. Albert W. Wily. Together with their genius intellect, they have finally found the way to be conquerors of business without having anyone believe they have ulterior motives or their merchandise mechanized to overwhelm the population (in fact I think they are too smart to make that clique move). "I've said this once, and I'll say it a million times again, business is good. And, it only gets better." Dr. Eggman said, looking out to his work.

"This is far more better than wasting resources in battle mechs." Dr. Wily agreed. "All the wasted years, throwing potential scrap metal at those pesky heroes."

"Amen my good chum."

"Ahem." The doctors' revelling in the good life was interrupted by a certain dark, broody robot standing at the door. Bass and Treble weren't amused by Dr. Wily's comment on scrap metal. "Oh Bass, I guess I can't count you, you don't get wrecked on a daily basis against Megadonk." Wily proclaimed.

"As correct as that seems," Bass said. "I still have a score to settle with that hasbeen."

"Keep your obsessive, clique rivalries to yourself, bot." Catching the attention of the mad scientists and anger of Bass, a red demonic being stood in the corner. Zavok, leader of the Deadly Six, was in the midst of this boring company, looking down on the pointless rush to create materials with little value. "Your blue robotic friend is merely a joke to my ears every time we get reminded of your long-time feud."

"Shut it Zeti! You couldn't defeat a puny hedgehog! What makes you better than me?!"

Zavok despised being reminded of his last encounter with the blue hedgehog, let alone his humiliating defeat by the latter. "That was a miscalculation of his abilities. Now that I know more about him, I can finally annihilate not only him, but everyone and everything he's ever cared about! And what have you done?! Not even use the opportunity of your knowledge of him to break him down a peg!"

"Now now children. That's all in the past." Eggman said to the quarrellers. "We have no ill-will against those pests anymore. But we can't be too sure of their meddling, so Wily's bots and the Deadly Six are the only losers we can really depend on to keep them as far away as possible." Bass didn't appreciate the insult from Eggman, he scoffed.

"Eggman, my brother's and mines abilities are being wasted on this useless business you and that fool have built." Zavok said disrespectfully.

"Hey! You work for me once again! Don't you forget that!" Eggman scolded. "I will not tolerate your disrespect for my business partner." He pulled out the Cacophonic Conch, much to Zavok's displeasure, and blew into it. Zavok was in pain, trying to block out the cacophonious sound that only effedcted him. Eggman stopped blowing into the conch, releasing Zavok from his torture.

"Urrgh. Zavok somewhat struggled. "Your lucky Wily there found another one of those accursed things, otherwise,"

"I expect you to behave yourself in our company Zavok. And that includes the rest of your fellow dogs." Zavok was infuriated by his enslavement to Eggman once again. Eggman is getting back at the Zeti for their last encounter they had back on the Lost Hex, but seeing them still as a threat, he keeps them around to make sure they aren't causing cataclysmic trouble. Nowadays they serve as Wily and Eggman's attack dogs, siccing them at anyone who threatens them or their company (at least as covertly as possible). Luckily, if they use their robot control powers upon Eggman's bots, Wily's bots have been enhanced to be immune to the Zeti's control, just for such an opportunity when it occurred. "Now you may return to the rest of your Zeti, until further orders. Leave!" The red Zeti reluctantly left the room.

"That goes for you too Bass." Wily said to his robot. "Your not needed at the moment.

"You may have those demons by a leash, but you can't speak to me the same way!"

"Oh on the contrary." Said Wily. "You know perfectly well that I have you tied around my finger." He revealed a remote in his coat pocket, making Bass become shocked. "Don't you forget I have my ways of making sure your in line too, got it? Don't you try any funny business, alright?" At that, Bass also left the room unable to talk back to the scientist who could harm as Eggman can to the Zeti. The duo were alone, at least with Orbot and Cubot and a couple Mettaurs assisting in some work. Personally both Cubot and Orbot like leading the little Mettaurs around, commanding them on things they don't want to do.

"What are you two doing? Get me the sixth schematics on this thing!" The two bots were shocked on Eggman's comand.

"Umm, right away boss!" Orbot said, then he lead Cubot and a few Mettaurs to look for the schematics for their creators greatest work. "This way fellas. Don't waste time."

"Attago! Heave! Heave!" Cubot lead the Mettaurs into looking into a filing cabinet. It was a harrowing process, with the Mettaurs lack of arms trying to look into a cabinet, yet getting pretty far, it was shameful of Orbot and Cubot to let these little guys do the work.

"Oh, how did I ever make a mistake like them." Eggman muttered to himself.

"Whatever happened to your other robot assistants?" Asked Wily. "I don't want to talk about it" Was Eggman's response.

"In any case, this new project is sure to change the world, no our whole reality with us as the ones responsible for it's accomplishment!"

"Yes. Far greater than my most awesome, yet failed, creations. Yes this new machine will change the balance of our very universe, and make it a much more safer place to exist in." Eggman looked over the plans over a new super-soldier mecha they are developing through newfound knowledge they found.

The door to the room opened again to show Quickman, Heatman, Airman, Shadowman, and Sparkman arrive. "You called master?" Quickman asked.

"Why yes. I have a job for you. You see, those MineBox Corps are getting too suspicious on our activities as competitors, sticking their nose in our business." Dr. Wily advised his Robot Masters. "They're resorting to dirty tricks, invading our firms and resorting to violence. We can play the same game."

Inside the WilyEgg corporation building, the Zeti await in a darkened gymnasium, with most of the lights switched off, for their leader to alert them on his meeting. "Damned fools. Wasting our potential on, business, and tomfoolery!" Zavok complained. "These suit and tie ethics bore me!"

"I know right!" Zazz included himself. "All this bottled up rage, sent out in useless trashing raids! I need more! More carnage!"

"Calm yourselves" Master Zik informed. "As long as Eggman still has that conch and those robots we somehow cannot control, we have no means of resistance."

"Tell me about it." Zor whined. "I'm more bored than ever. Not that it matters. We have no use to those labcoats in their office."

Zeena was still working on her nails. "Bah. Why do they even want us if they're not even going to deal with us?"

"I'm hungry!" Zomom grumbled. "He's doesn't even give us enough yumms! I'm starving!"

"Patience my brothers. I have a way out of this." Zavok pulled a piece of red fabric showing a part of the Separatists symbol on it. "I heard these band of revolutionists are intent on changing the world order in a most forceful uprising. This invitation in their ranks will surely allow us to destroy as much as we please."

"Yeah! And that's why your the leader! Always the man with the plan!" Zazz enthusiastically cheered for this circumstance.

"Finally." Added Zor. "As long as we have the freedom to do as we want."

"Then nothing can stop us." Zavok said. "They won't be able to control us without a Cacophonic Conch, so we'll have no need to hold back."

"But those two lame-brains have the shell." Zeena reminded them. "If we leave now and they find us, their's no telling what that Egghead will do to enhance it's amplitude."

"A predicament indeed." Master Zik followed up, stroking his stache. "We must find a way to first remove the dr.'s control over us in order to proceed to freedom." Zavok's master has a point. Eggman did say that he'll find a method to enhance the conch's power, which could do more than just inhibit their powers and give them harsh pain. He needed a plan to remove the shell out of the picture. Just then a light shone in, having the glare inhibit them on seeing who it was ( hopefully not one of the mad scientists demanding their aid). Appearing out of the light stepped Bass and his canid bot companion. "You." Zavok saw that irritable robot. "What do you want? We're busy."

Bass looked to the rest of the malignant Zeti before giving a light chuckle. " Yeah, your busy with something alright." This alarmed the Zeti that their plan was found out by this rogue robot.

"What could you mean? We have no ulterior motives but to..." Master Zik was interrupted before his statement could be finished.

"Save it. You can't fool me. I already heard the whole thing."

"Oh no! Now he's gonna tell the dr.s of our plan!" Zomom panicked. "Great. We have a tattletale in our midst." Zor whined.

"Now hold on now!" Zavok said to his worried brothers. "Is that your true intention boy?" Bass snickered on the accusation.

"Please. What could I gain for ratting you filth out to those simpletons." Bass said. "No. I actually have a proposition to you."

Zavok approached the robot towering over him and his dog-bot. Treble snarled at the menace. "And what is this 'proposition' you hold for us?" Bass was not afraid.

"You and I both have a certain something restricting us from doing as we please. Neither of us will be able to sneak out anyway without alerting the security. And the Robot Masters are not ones to listen to your, 'reasoning'."

"I see, what are you leading to?"

"Simple. You six help swipe the remote control Wily uses to immobilize me, while I take away that shell from Eggman." The Zeti were almost too happy to hear this plan.

"For reals! You can keep that conch away from us for good?!" Zeena asked.

"Ahaha! We can be free! We can be free!" Zomom ecstatically hopped about.

When everyone got back their composure after the quaking, Zazz was also enthusiastic of this moment. "Well what are we waitin' for! Let's get'm!"

"Now hold on." Bass held up a hand to stop the Zeti from continuing. "All in due time. We shouldn't rush this. For all we know, those two could be expecting an uprising from us currently. At least gain their trust enough to have their guard down, then we'll strike"

"Ah, the patient route always leads to better fortune." Master Zik agreed. Zavok was almost convinced from his master's approval. But one thing stood out in his thoughts.

"What's your game?" Zavok asked with suspicion. "Why would you go out of your way to help us?"

Bass took a while to answer, but then looked back. "Well looking back at your plan, my only desire is to finally show the world that I can defeat Megaman. And I heard your plan about having the freedom to do as you want." The other Zeti looked at Bass, distrustingly. "I want in."

It seems Robotnik and Wily have finally put their brains to good use, going the more modern and realistic way to world domination. However that doesn't mean they are totally changed to good. The robot masters from their theme songs from SSB4 are present in this story, working for Wily. It seems the Smash Bros. are going to deal with this company in their future battle. And the Deadly Six and Bass and Treble are planning on joining the Separatists. They do not realize that a mightier threat is intent on scouring the world in their hunt for trophies that surpasses their vileness. What will they do in response? That's enough for now. Until next chapter, see you guys later!
