The flashback concludes with Wario and his friends making a last stand against Crasher and Blaster of the Contra Terror gang. This time, they'd take out the space pirates with extreme prejudice!

Chapter 3: Vanquishing the horrible nightmare
(WARIO'S FLASHBACK - JUNE 10, 20XX)
During the trip back to the DCIA, the rain had stopped. Ashley, Young Cricket, Jimmy, and 18-Volt had gone back to the airport's control tower to report to Chief Gonzales about Sergeant Latem's betrayal, while Wario went to sneak around the private cargo plane's location - at the back of the airport. He tried his best to resist the urge to come flailing about immediately. Upon his arrival at an occupied hangar, he noticed Crasher and Blaster rendezvous with the Killer Drill and Sergeant Latem.
[Interlude BGM: Suspense Theme (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)]
"Good to see you, Crasher and Blaster." The Killer Drill saluted his leaders. "Now we can escape this planet and back to our interplanetary base! Oh, how I long to get back at their space cops for detaining me roughly four years ago! But even after I broke out the other day, they busted me again and decided that I be banished to this Virtual Prison..."
Crasher added, "In order to free you, we had to blend in their surroundings by disguising ourselves as their run-of-the-mill hackers. And now, the world will get what's coming to them when we escape to recover. But I think we deserve a little kickass vacation before we hijack anything else, don'tcha think?"
"Agreed." Latem answered. "They say that the Beach Bowl Galaxy is the definition of tropical paradise."
Blaster beamed. "Now that's what I'm talkin' about! But even if we could go there, we'd have to hijack a space ship or something. Then again, now that we escaped from fat boy and his posse, we'll be ready."
Latem turned his attention to Blaster. "The cargo plane should be fully fueled by now. We'll just have to start slow with a little trip to...I dunno, Madagascar or something."
Blaster gestured wiping sweat from his forehead. "Killing all those weakling Earthers and other intergalactic losers isn't all fun and games...it's hard work!"
Outside the hangar, Wario couldn't wait around anymore. He busted on in, blurting out loud, "You're damn right it ain't all fun and games. It's never fun and games when you kill people! In fact, I hate it when you space pirates give Contra a bad name!"
The Killer Drill was the first to glance over. "So this is the 'fat boy' you speak of..."
"Yeah," replied Crasher, "he calls himself Wario. He and his pesky friends have interfered with us for far too long! Boys, jump him!"

[Alert BGM: End Beast (Vortex)]
The alien henchmen did as they were told, ganging up on Wario and detaining him so he wouldn't escape. Due to his thrashing, they had to throw him into the Killer Drill's plane, rather than drag him around. The moment he landed inside its cockpit, he was dazed momentarily. Then Crasher and Blaster taunted him some more.
"Hey, fat boy!" Crasher blurted out. "We were just thinking maybe we can give you something to cherish at your funeral!"
"Yeah!" Blaster agreed. "It'd be unfair if we didn't return the favor for your perseverance!"
Without delay, the alien thugs threw all their frag grenades into the cockpit, and Wario snapped out of unconsciousness. Struggling with all his might, Wario was able to find an eject lever. He quickly pulled it all the way down, ejecting his seat out of the plane just before the grenades detonated, taking out the front side of the plane.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Wario screamed, as his ejected seat went flying upwards momentarily. "OH, CRAAAAAAAAAAAP!"
The seat eventually fell back down, crash-landing onto the ground in the process. Wario got up, and noticed the Contra Terror gang boarding the big cargo plane. "Oh no, you don't! You're not getting away!"
Just then, Ashley and Young Cricket arrived at the hangar, aboard Ashley's enchanted broom (Red in disguise). "Mr. Wario," called Ashley, "get on my broom!"
Young Cricket directed the attention towards the cargo plane. "We've no time to lose! They're about to make their escape!"

[Final battle BGM: Format X (Contra: Hard Corps)]
"Well, duh!" Wario retorted, leading the final attack against Crasher and Blaster. As the cargo plane left the hangar, Wario jumped onto its left wing, while Ashley cast a blocking spell to jam the wing's ailerons, preventing the jet from taking off. But even their actions did not go unnoticed inside the cockpit.
"Uh...guys?" Latem called out. "Something's clogging up the back part of the left wing! It's Wario and two of his friends!"
Blaster became frustrated at that point. "Ohhh...son of a BITCH! I thought we killed him! I just hate it when he persists!"
"That's IT!" Crasher bellowed. "This time, it's personal! I've had enough of him spoiling our fun not once, but twice!"
The co-leaders, along with Sergeant Latem, got out their machine guns, despite the Killer Drill's warning against using them. "Whatever you three do, don't shoot. That wing is fully fueled." Even so, Crasher and Blaster didn't bother acknowledging the plea and instead, stormed their way out to the left wing, with Latem behind them. Wario, however, wasn't intimidated by their entrance.
"I shoulda guessed that you'd be THIS persistent to come after us again!" Crasher sneered, squinting his eyes at Wario.
Blaster joined in, "This ends now! I'll just have to compensate my thirst for Space-Wiser beer with my thirst for your blood!"
Wario became befuddled. "Space-Wiser? Never heard of that beer..."
"Only the best in the galaxy that you can find," replied Crasher, "but it matters little. It's time for you bozos to die!"
Ashley was insulted by the disparaging remark. "Me, a bozo?! Look, mister! I happen to be a witch-in-training! And I'll show you what this 'bozo' can do!" She transformed her broom into a magic wand, and cast offensive spells on Crasher and Blaster, such as fire and lightning. Though the spells did not kill them, the pain forced them to drop their assault rifles.
Sergeant Latem, however, was poised to kill Young Cricket personally, simply because he didn't have anyone else to pick on. "I am so gonna enjoy swatting you punks like silly flies!"
"Not today!" Young Cricket retorted. "It's time for some payback, you lying trickster! My code disallows taking a life, but in this case, I'll make an exception defensively!"
"You really want to die, don't you? Well, I'll be happy to oblige!" Latem, remembering that he's nearby a fuel hatch for the wing, used his machine gun as a makeshift baseball bat. He swung wildly in hopes of bashing Young Cricket off the cargo plane, but the blue-clad teen's martial arts training enabled him to block every blow. Then he grabbed Latem by the machine gun, elbowed him in the gut, and kicked him off the left wing. The thug struggled to support his balance, but unfortunately for him, Ashley's lightning spell knocked him into one of the plane's engines, killing him instantly.
"We're through trying to reason with you bilge-brains!" Blaster shouted, kicking Ashley and Young Cricket off the back of the left wing. By doing so, he broke Ashley's concentration on her blocking spell, freeing the ailerons. "No tickets, no entry, so off you go!"
Crasher glared at Wario, shoving him towards a fuel hatch - which he then held on to avoid falling off. "And you too, fat man! Get your hands off of the fuel hatch!"
Wario stubbornly shook his head no. "How about no? I'll hold on to it all I want!"
"It's not funny, ya know!"
"Oh? And you thought it'd be funny to kill over 250 innocent people by blowing up their plane with one of the hijacked missiles from Crygor Labs!"
Crasher and Blaster, irate as ever at Wario's persistence, kicked him off the cargo plane with all their might, but not without accidentally forcing the fuel hatch open, thus leaving a trail of gasoline.
"Happy landings, fatso!" Blaster taunted, oblivious to the fuel leaking out of the open hatch. He followed Crasher back inside the plane, and reentered the cockpit to report in.
"Are they gone?" asked the Killer Drill.
"Yeah," responded Crasher. "They were getting annoying, anyway. Latem couldn't make it, but it doesn't matter. It's time to depart."
[End BGM]
Back on the runway, Wario, Ashley, and Young Cricket could smell the fuel having leaked out of the open hatch. Ashley gave her magic wand to Wario, with something to say before she fainted. "Wario...use my wand...use fire..."
"Got it," said Wario, taking the wand. "I think we all know how it's gonna end. To quote the main man of the LAPD...yippie-ki-yay, mother-truckers!" With a few swings from the wand, he cast a fireball on the runway, eventually igniting the trail of gasoline. With blazing speed, the flame raced down the runway, and reached the fuel hatch on the left wing just as the cargo plane left the runway. Then the hatch, along with the rest of the plane, began erupting in a chain of explosions all around.
"Huh?" The Killer Drill gasped. "What the hell's going on?!"
The Contra Terror gang became alarmed at what they had seen coming their way. Blaster panicked, "There's a HUGE fire inside! AAAAHHH!"
"NOOOOOOO!" Crasher screamed. "DAMN YOU, WARIO!"
The chain of explosions and flames became larger, and within seconds, the cargo plane finally exploded in a huge ball of fire, killing every last member of the Contra Terror gang on board.
[Victory BGM: Victory! (Wario Land II)]
"YEEEEEAAHH!" Wario cheered. "WOO! Hey, Mona! 9-Volt...and Mrs. 9-Volt's mom! There's your freakin' landing light! YES! Those evil bastards are finally gone for good!"
[End BGM]

(PRESENT DAY)
[Ending BGM: Ending (Kirby's Adventure)]
"And that, fellas," said Wario, as he ended the whole story, "was how it all ended. The Contra Terror gang is no more! But, I did have some help, after all."
Ashley and Young Cricket nodded in agreement. "Good job, guys," I said.
"Are you all feeling better now?" asked Ami.
"Yes," answered Dr. Crygor, "now that we've all gotten together to tell you our parts of the entire story."
Penny nodded. "Mm-hmm. I'm just glad those black-hearted space pirates are gone for good."
"And more importantly," said 5-Volt, "my son and I can live in peace once again."
"You guys did stop Red Falcon and his goons at Dinosaur Land, right?" Mona asked, eyeing me, Ami, Bill, and Lance.
Though it was unlikely that Red Falcon was dead, we knew for the fact that we drove him out of the Yoshis' home. While we'd have to train ourselves for the event in which Red Falcon would return once more, Penny was no longer afraid. With Blaze Bomber back to his normal self, he was happy to assist her in any way he can. In due time, they would get to work on modifying my Contra Rifle and Ami's Bomberman Watch with a barrier feature, which can temporarily offer protection against mortal damage whenever said feature is turned on.
As for 9-Volt, he was relieved that the nightmare was finally over. He actually overheard the rest of the story alongside 18-Volt, Kat, and Ana, the whole time. In fact, he would dream in peace at night once again. On occasions, as of the day he turned 5, he would dream about being friends with a girl about a year or two older than him. All he had known beyond her name being Phoebe was that she, like him, was a fan of Nintendo games. But what differentiated her from him was that she was a skilled bowler, and she could play a piano. He, of course, never knew she was also good at bowling, besides video games, until after he told her that Mona taught him how to bowl (which was back when he was 6, about to start first grade). While Phoebe admitted that she needed some practice now and then, she was more than happy to give him all the helpful tips she knew about bowling. Other times, she would teach him how to play a piano.
While Phoebe could also sense 9-Volt wasn't an ordinary child, she assured him that when the time comes, they just might discover the truth on his family history together...

That's about it for both DCC #1 and #2 altogether, since they did begin on June 10, 20XX in regard to my fic series' timeline. See you next time in DCC #3! Oh, and the girl, Phoebe, that I plan to use alongside 9-Volt will likely be a little more of a fan character than an original one anyway, not the one from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. Just a little reminder, that's all.
