Scene 24: Escape from the Island
An alarm blares loudly as Samus and Pikachu run down a brightly lit hallway.
Pikachu: Pi pi pi, pika! Pi pika pika!
Samus: (in her head) If only I knew what you were saying…
(later)
Samus and Pikachu blast their way into a vast chamber filled with Subspace Bombs and R.O.B.s. The Ancient Minister stands before them. Samus aims her arm cannon at the Ancient Minister while Pikachu charges his cheeks with electricity.
Samus: Give up, Ancient Minister. We have you outnumbered and overpowered.
Pikachu: (as if ready for battle) Pi…
The Ancient Minister looks down in apparent sadness.
Ancient Minister: …I have sad…
Samus lowers her arm cannon while Pikachu stops charging his cheeks.
Samus: Huh?
Pikachu: (confused) Pika? (to Samus) Pika pi pi pikachu, pi?
Samus: You don't know what he's thinking, do you?
Pikachu: Pika.
Samus: I don't know what you're saying or what he's thinking, but it doesn't look like he's in the mood for fighting. I wonder why…
(later)
Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Olimar run down a brightly lit hallway and come to a dead end.
Olimar: Oh, it's a dead end! Looks like we'll just have to commandeer a ship and get out of here after all.
Diddy Kong puts his ear to the wall.
Diddy Kong: Wait. I can hear something on the other side of this wall.
Captain Falcon: There must be a way out. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a dead end here.
Diddy Kong: We all could've figured that one out.
Captain Falcon: One good Falcon Punch ought to break it down.
Donkey Kong steps forward.
Donkey Kong: No way, Cap. This is a job for someone with a lot more muscle than you can muster. Allow me!
He beats his chest, roars loudly, and repeatedly pounds on the wall until it breaks down, prompting him, Diddy Kong, and Olimar to jump down into the Subspace Bomb room and land behind Samus and Pikachu.
Captain Falcon: (in his head) I still think a Falcon Punch would've done the job better.
Captain Falcon follows them into the room, landing beside Samus and Pikachu.
Captain Falcon: Aha! We've got you now, Ancient Minister!
The Ancient Minister doesn't respond.
Captain Falcon: Oh, not in the mood to talk, eh? That's fine with me.
A red holographic image of Ganondorf appears behind the Ancient Minister, prompting him to turn around. Samus, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Olimar look on.
Ganondorf: All units. Detonate the Subspace Bombs and destroy the island.
All the R.O.B.s turn towards the Subspace Bombs and start scooting to them.
Ancient Minister: Destroy the island? No!
The Ancient Minister scoots in front of the R.O.B.s.
Ancient Minister: Do not being listen to him!
The R.O.B.s stop in their tracks and look at each other. Ganondorf, dissatisfied, prepares a remote control.
Ganondorf: Insolent fool…
He pushes a button on the remote control, prompting all the R.O.B.s to pass the Ancient Minister, grab the Subspace Bombs, and prepare to arm them. The Ancient Minister desperately starts bumping the R.O.B.s aside, trying to prevent them from arming the bombs.
Ganondorf: Even in the face of those odds, you continue to resist. So be it…
Ganondorf pushes another button on the remote control, prompting some of the R.O.B.s to start firing lasers from their eyes at the Ancient Minister, eventually setting his clothes on fire and forcing him to stop. As the R.O.B.s start arming the Subspace Bombs, Ganondorf looks on and laughs evilly. This prompts Samus, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Olimar to start trying to stop all the R.O.B.s from arming any more Subspace Bombs. The holographic image of Ganondorf disappears as hundreds of Auroros. Samus, while trying to wrench a R.O.B. from a Subspace Bomb with her grapple beam, sees the Auroros coming.
Samus: Incoming!
Before the Auroros can come any closer, the Ancient Minister turns his attention skyward and starts firing lasers from his eyes, shooting down many of them. He sheds his burning cloak, revealing himself to be a R.O.B.
R.O.B.: I will not let this to be continue anymore.
Captain Falcon: (alarmed) He's one of them!
Olimar: Wait. I think he's on our side, actually.
Pikachu: Pika pi, pika pikachu.
Olimar: I like Pikpik carrots too, but now's not the time for food.
Pikachu: (embarrassed) Pika…
R.O.B. prepares himself for battle.
R.O.B.: Keep stopping my people while I have fighting needle bird.
Samus: If you mean for us to keep the other R.O.B.s busy, will do.
Captain Falcon: Sounds like a plan to me!
(later)
R.O.B., Samus, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Olimar stand in the midst of a huge cluster of Subspace Bombs. As the other Smashers continue trying to break the R.O.B.s away from the bombs, R.O.B. sends a signal ordering the R.O.B.s to disarm the bombs. He then closes his eyes and hangs his head low.
Diddy Kong: (in his head) Something's not right here…
Diddy Kong runs over to R.O.B. and starts hopping up and down.
Diddy Kong: Can't you do something to stop them?
R.O.B.: Countdown not stop. I have failed you all.
Captain Falcon, meanwhile, sends out a signal on his helmet.
Diddy Kong: Then come on, R.O.B. We'd better boogie!
R.O.B.: Leave me. Let me die with my people. We have no chance to survive make our time.
Captain Falcon: Come on, everybody! I've just called the Falcon Flyer to appear in launch bay 12! If we move now, we can make it!
Olimar: No need to tell me twice!
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Olimar: You need a tissue?
Pikachu: (embarrassed) Pika pika pikachu…
The other Smashers start running for the exit, but Donkey Kong notices that R.O.B. isn't going.
R.O.B.: Goodbye, everyone…
Donkey Kong: Oh no, you don't!
He grabs R.O.B. and takes him with him, running after the other Smashers.
R.O.B.: Let go! Let go! Let go! Let go! Let go!
(later)
Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, R.O.B., Diddy Kong, Pikachu, Samus, and Olimar fall down a dimly lit shaft.
R.O.B.: Let go! Let go! Let go! Let go!
Diddy Kong: Oh, shut up! And people call ME annoying…
Captain Falcon snaps his fingers downward, and the Falcon Flyer arrives below the Smashers. Everyone lands on board, and the Falcon Flyer zooms out through a nearby gap in the wall. Just then, Meta Ridley appears and flies after the Falcon Flyer. On board, Captain Falcon notices a huge blip on his radar screen.
Captain Falcon: Hey, there's some huge thing chasing us.
Samus walks over to the radar screen.
Samus: I'll bet it's Ridley…
She heads over to the elevator shaft and goes up to the exterior of the Falcon Flyer, where she sees Meta Ridley.
Samus: (in her head) I hate it when I'm right…
Meta Ridley: (angrily) Hey Samus, remember me?
Meta Ridley fires a series of fireballs from his mouth, hitting the Falcon Flyer but missing Samus as she rolls out of the way. As she regroups, she notices that the other Smashers are now beside her.
Samus: Wait a minute. Who's flying this thing?
Captain Falcon: Don't worry. This thing's on auto-pilot now. We're completely—
Meta Ridley fires a fireball from his mouth, barely missing Captain Falcon's head.
Captain Falcon: Okay. Never mind that.
(later)
The Falcon Flyer rockets out of a hangar in the Island of the Ancients as a titanic subspace nexus engulfs the island. On board, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong dance around in victory while R.O.B. hangs his head low and starts drooping.
Pikachu: Pika pika pika, pika?
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong stop dancing and look at Pikachu.
Diddy Kong: Of course we like dancing. It really gets your blood going, and it's loads of fun. You should try it.
Pikachu: …Pikachu.
Diddy Kong: What do you mean you can't dance? You've got hands and feet, right?
Samus: You can understand this Pikachu?
Diddy Kong: Well, he can understand YOU, can't he? Why can't you understand him?
Pikachu: Pi. Pika pi pika pi pikachu…
Diddy Kong starts laughing hysterically.
Samus: What's so funny?
The Falcon Flyer heads off to the nearest shore, where Mario, Link, Pit, Kirby, Yoshi, Ike, Marth, Lucas, the Pokemon Trainer, and the Ice Climbers see the massive subspace nexus. The Halberd appears in the sky and lands beside them.
