Mystery-guy: Will the Metal Gear X have a role again?
Game2002: That's too early to ask, but as of now I have no intentions to bring back Metal Gear X any time.
I'm not good at coming up with attack names, so don't laugh.
Chapter 8
C'mon, guys! Let's take down this witch and end her evil schemes here!
"Defeat me and stop my plans?" said the massive being with a smoke-like body that is Cackletta. "Stop kidding me! You are the ones that are going to be defeated! DIE!!!" She lifted up her arms and slammed them down at the heroes together.
"Move out!" Captain Falcon yelled, and the Smashers quickly moved back to avoid a powerful fist slam from Cackletta that sent the rubbles bouncing up into the air.
BGM: Final Battle (Mario & Luigi)
"All right! Let's go!" CF shouted, and together with Marth, they both charged at Cackletta and leaped at her with their fist and sword pulled back respectively to strike.
Cackletta reached her arm to them from below very fast and managed to catch them however. "Gotcha!"
"Whoa!" CF and Marth struggled to break free from her grasp and while they were doing so, Wario came charging towards Cackletta.
"Time for you to a rotten day from me!" Wario shouted.
Cackletta slammed both her hands which still had both the Smashers caught into Wario from both sides and mashed him in between, and then lifting him up into the air, she slammed down her hand and let go of her hands, and the three Smashers were not only slammed onto the ground very hard, but they were also sent rolling backwards.
"Missile Swarm!" ROB used his missile pack to fire a large group of missiles that left behind a trail of smoke as it soar through the air.
"Pyro-Electro Finger Gun!"Cackletta held open both her hands and fire churned in the fingers of the right hand while electricity charged up at the fingers on the left hand, and then with a flung of her hands, the fires and electricity were thrown forward and collided with each of the missiles to eliminate them. One of the missiles managed to escape unscratched however and blasted Cackletta in the face. "Gah!"
"Here I come!" Mario shouted. The explosion to the face gave Mario an opportunity to jump at her without noticed and he delivered a fire-powered punch across her face really hard.
SMASH!
"Doh! Argh! Take this!"
Cackletta's arms detached from the body and floated a few centimeters off the side of the body and started spinning around her. "Wild Arms!" The speed started slow for a few seconds but then it started to build up speed to travel at such a speed that even a gale was whipped up.
"Be careful!" Mario shouted. He quickly tried to run away but got smacked in the back and flew forward. "Yeow!"
The others quickly moved away as Cackletta moved forward to try and hit them with furious spinning arms. Kotaro leaped off the ground and towards her when she closed in on her and then land onto her face and then pummeled her rapidly over and over really fast. "Take this!"
"Gah!" Cackletta stopped swinging her hand and shook her head around until he managed to get him off. When she got him off, Meta-Knight and Setsuna were both seen flying towards her with their swords in hand. "Optical Beam!" She shot out a pair of eye beams out of her eyes to hit them but they steered out of the way and then closed in on her from both sides and swung their swords across the side of her face.
SLASH!
"GAAAAAH!!!" Cackletta screamed.
"17 Arrows of Light!" Negi pointed his staff at her and light beams shot out from around him and blasted the evil spirit all over the body.
"Why you?!" Cackletta slammed her hand forward to hit the child teacher and Negi quickly jumped out of the way.
CF then came running up the hand while it was still on the ground and then delivered a roundhouse kick to the face. "Falcon Roundhouse!"
KICK!
Mario and Marth both ran in front of Cackletta and they both jumped up to hit her underneath the chin with their fist and sword respectively.
"Super Jump Punch!"
"Dolphin Slash!"
Cackletta's head bent back from the attack and then she moved back and traveled higher into the air. Growling angrily, she opened all her fingers and then shot out a combination of fire and electric out from each finger. "Pyro-Electro Finger Gun!"
"Pika! Light Screen!" Red commanded his Pikachu. Pika stretched forth his tiny hands and a wall of light appeared in front of the mouse Pokemon and nullified the incoming projectiles. "Swift!" Electricity entered into the atmosphere from the body of Pika and they slowly formed themselves into the shape of stars before shooting forward at a blinding speed.
Cackletta lifted her arms to block the projectile attack, but this gave a chance for Red to open up another Pokeball and sent Aero straight out. "Steel Wing!" he commanded the fossil Pokemon. The wings of Aero gave off a bright silver flash and gained a metallic appearance and it spun in a circle to slam its hardened wings into Cackletta. Cackletta quickly blocked it with her arm, but the hardened wing was also like a blade and it managed to slice her hand off. "Yeah! That did the trick!"
The severed hand disappeared in a puff of smoke and then reappeared back on the arm however. "You think cutting me into pieces will do? I'm sorry to tell you that it's won't!" Then she puffed up her cheeks and took a deep breath before releasing a large amount of pink gas onto the ground.
"Be careful! It may be poison gas!" MK warned everyone.
When the smoke cleared, there four replicas of Fawful standing on the ground, but they were pink in color from head to toe. "I have fury!" the four of them said simultaneously. The mouthpiece on their headgears then fired energy shots at them simultaneously.
The Smashers got out of the way of the attack with no problem and Marth charged for one of the Fawful clones and slashed through it in a single blow.
CF ran up to another one and uppercut it into the air where it exploded in a burst of smoke. "Raptor Boost!"
"You're mine!" Wario said as he tossed himself at the third clone, but this one took off into the air and he ate dirt instead. "Ptooey! Get down here!" The Fawful clone responded by falling back down onto his head to stomp him before flying back up. "Ow! I didn't say you can return up there!" The clone fired at him and Wario quickly rolled aside to avoid the shot and then picked up a rock and hurled it at the clone and managed to knock it off the air and destroyed it.
The last one simply fired some energy balls at Kotaro, but he managed to dodge them by running around at a high speed and then gave it a swift kick to the face to eliminate it. "This is too easy!" he said. He looked at Cackletta and saw her firing an eye beam at him and he quickly zipped out of the way.
Cackletta then generated fire and electric in his hand and then threw them at the good guys again. Negi quickly pointed his staff at the incoming projectiles and chanted an incantation and a column of spiraling wind was generated around his staff and shot forward like a laser beam. The spiraling wind eliminated the projectiles and blasted Cackletta in the area just below the neck really hard as if it was a real beam. "GAAH!!!!" she cried.
"Demon Wing Strike!" MK dashed at Cackletta and dashed across her at a fast speed, striking her in the right shoulder with his wings in the process.
Setsuna flew up higher than Cackletta and then pulling back her sword; she unleashed a swipe that caused bits of energy to rain down on her and pummeled her over and over. "Rain of Sakura Petals!"
While Cackletta was taking a beating from the raining energy blades, MK said to Wario and ROB, "You two come over and lend me a hand for a second. I have an idea!" The two didn't know what he wanted to do, but still nodded in response and went over to help him.
"Pull her over!" Red commanded his Venusaur. Saur swung a pair of vines at Cackletta and tied them around her arms, and then the Venusaur used off his strength to pull her forward. "Poli! Dynamic Punch into her body!" Red shouted. The Poliwrath jumped in front of Saur and pulled back his fist and slammed it into Cackletta's body when she was pulled in front of him. The punch resulted in an explosion and Saur let go of his vines and Cackletta was blown back into the air from the punch.
"GAAAAAAH!!! WHY YOU??!!" Cackletta then started slamming her arms against the ground over and over to crush everything in sight. The Smashers tried their best to avoid getting hit, but some of them weren't so lucky and was smashed onto the ground.
"Stop this at once!" Setsuna shouted. She flew at her and readied to slash her, but Cackletta pointed looked in her direction and fired a pair of beams. She barely had time to avoid them and the beams scraped pass the top of her wings. "Ya!" She fell onto the ground because the damage to the wings didn't allow her to fly with ease and was then smashed by the hands.
"Enough!" CF stood up and managed to catch the right hand as it slammed down on top of him. "Marth! Now!"
"Got it!!" Marth said. He swung his sword at that hand and sliced it clean off the hand.
The hand instantly grew back however. CF then ran up to Cackletta and jumped at her to smash her in the body hard with a powerful knee smash. "OOF!!!"
As Cackletta recoiled from the punch, Negi and Kotaro both ran to her and then leaping into the air, they threw forth a punch that released a blast of ki into her head.
SMAAAAAAASH!!!!
Meanwhile, Mario tossed himself at CF and the captain caught him by both his hands and spun in place several times before letting go of his hand to hurl Mario in the direction of Cackletta, and he spun like a drill as he soar through the air with his feet pointing in her direction. "Combo Attack! Captain Mario Tornado!" they both shouted together. The spinning Mario slammed into Cackletta's body and damaged her really hard and pushed her across the air.
"Argh! You pests!" she growled. She took a deep breath and then opened her mouth to send out an army of Fawful clones.
"There are more than four this time!" Red said.
"No problem! We still have the number advantage!" Kotaro assured him. By stretching his hand in the direction of the incoming clones, black-colored dogs started to form out from his shadow and under his command, they charge at the Fawful clones and pounced onto them, taking them out one by one with a nasty-looking bite onto their heads.
"Whoa! Cool!"
"Now get that hag!" Kotaro commanded his dogs. The dogs all charged for Cackletta, but she instantly eliminated them all with a single sweep of her eye beam. "Damn!"
"By the way, didn't you say earlier that you don't hurt girls?" Red asked him.
"Yeah, but does that thing look like a girl to you?"
"Um… Okay…"
"But really... I don't like to hit girls who I consider to be weaker than me. If they are very strong, I wouldn't mind fighting back. But still, I'd like to avoid hurting women as much as possible."
"It is finished!" MK said out loud. Everyone turned to look at him and saw him standing on top of a miniature fort that was about four meters tall. "The fortress has been completed!"
"It's all thanks to us!" Wario and ROB, who were both standing to his sides, said.
"Whoa! Where did that come from?!" Negi asked in surprise.
"I built it with the help of Wario and ROB using the rubbles as well as some of the woods from the forest," MK explained. "Being a skilled engineer and builder, building something like this in a short amount of time is no problem for me, and these are pretty good at doing this also."
"With this fortress, we have increased our defense and offense capabilities," ROB explained. "We shall demonstrate the power of the fortress to you. Prepare the catapults!"
"They're all prepared," MK said, revealing at least five catapults held down the floor by vines.
ROB got out a gyromite disk from his base and spun it for a few seconds before placing it into the catapult and allowed it to spin like a top, and then he got out another one and placed it into the second catapult. He quickly did this with the remaining three and once he was done, MK sliced through all five vines at the same time and the gyromite disks were launched in the direction of Cackletta. "Gyro Catapult!" ROB said.
Cackletta brought up her arms to defend herself from the incoming spinning disks, but these disks were spinning at a pace that they basically became buzzsaws, and thus they easily sliced through her body and even cut off her hands. "Gah!"
"And now it is my turn! I shall once again let you know why I am called the Human Cannonball when I was in the American football team back in high school!" Wario said. He picked up a rock that was shaped like a rugby ball and sat down on one of the catapults that MK had set up just now. "Now!"
MK cut the vine and the catapulted hurled Wario towards Cackletta's face. He rammed into her face very hard and then bounced high up into the air above her, and then holding the stone up high, he started spinning in place for a few seconds before falling onto Cackletta from above, smashing the stone into her head really hard. "Touchdown Piledriver!" he shouted.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!
The powerful landing impact pushed Cackletta all the way onto the ground and crushed her head against it. Wario fell down in front of her and gave a victory sign using both hands while laughing proudly.
Cackletta lifted up her face and growled angrily before floating back into the air again. "Why you?!" She slammed down her hand above Wario but he easily stopped it with one hand. "Eh?!"
"When it comes to strength, I have the upper hand!" Wario told her with an evil-looking grin.
"Gyro Catapult!" ROB said out loud. Five gyromite disks were launched at Cackletta again and they cut through her body and Wario quickly got out of the way before he got hit by any of them.
"Argh! I'm going destroy that fortress of yours!" Cackletta growled angrily.
"This is not all!" MK said to her. He pressed a secret button on the wall at the side and the front part of the fort opened up and a cannon made of stone came out. "Everyone get out of the way! I'm using the Leftover Cannon!"
"Leftover Cannon?" CF said curiously.
"I'm going to fire all the remaining ingredients that were used for building this fortress! So move out! Leftover Cannon!" He pressed the button again and then large amount of rocks and timbers were shot out at high speed, blasting Cackletta all over her body over and over, and the last thing to be launched out from the cannon was a huge boulder that smashed into her stomach really hard.
SMAAAAAAAAASH!!!
"YAAAAAAA!!!!" And she crashed onto the ground with the rock lying on top of her.
"That's-a pretty neat!" Mario said.
Cackletta, however, shoved the rock aside and hovered into the air again and said angrily, "I have never been this angry before! I'm really going to go serious on you now!"
"Bring it! We can take on you anytime!" CF said to her.
"I have made a discovery," ROB said to them. "After scanning her for results, I discovered that the weak spot lies within the body. If we are to concentrate out attacks on the body, we can surely destroy her."
"The body? Sounds fair enough," Marth said.
"Then let's aim for that spot then!" Kotaro said.
"I'm going serious! Behold one of my most powerful spells!" Cackletta raised her right hand high into the air and then a portal slowly appeared out of thin air above her.
"Hey! Something is coming out!" Red pointed out.
"Mad Meteor Frenzy!" she yelled out. The inside of the portal glowed brightly and then a few seconds later, large energy balls of various colors shot out one by one at a fast speed and struck various random locations.
"Watch out!" Negi shouted. The Smashers quickly leaped away to avoid getting hit directly by the energy balls.
Some of the energy balls struck the fort and it was starting to get torn down. "This will not stand any longer!" MK said. "Abandon it at once!" MK and ROB quickly leaped down the fort from the back before another energy ball crashed into it and destroyed it, but the explosion of the fort caused them to propel backwards at a fast speed. "Ah!"
BANG BANG BANG!!!
"WAAA!!!" CF and Mario were both caught in a blast and they were blown across the air and took a nose dive into the lake.
Another one headed for Marth and when he saw that he was unable to escape it, he tried to slice through it using his sword, but it was a useless attempt as the energy ball crashed down on him and blew him away. "Augh!!!"
The remaining Smashers ran around in panic to avoid getting caught by the meteor-like energy balls. Red's Pokemon used their own bodies to shield their trainer, but he was still blown away along with them when the energy balls hit them. Wario thought he could get away with this by hiding behind a large piece of rock but that wasn't the wisest idea to begin with.
Thanks to magic enhancing his physical abilities, Negi moved around at swift speed and managed to avoid the energy balls, but he suddenly tripped on a twig sticking out from the ground and fell forward. "Ow!" By the time he got up, an energy ball was about to hit him. Just as he was expecting the worse, Setsuna dashed into him and pushed him away.
"Negi sensei! Watch out!" she cried. "Yah!"
BAAAANG!!!!
"Setsuna!!" Negi was blown back by the force of the explosion and fell into the water.
The rain of energy balls finally stopped the whole place was charred badly and the Smashers were lying on the ground burned up, save for Captain Falcon and Mario who could be seen swimming back onto the shore. "That was a mess…" CF said.
"Geheheheh! Now you know my true power! Even if you guys aren't dead yet, I will continue to torture you until you die!!" Cackletta said.
"We're not-a afraid of you!" Mario said.
"Right! Don't think we're going to get defeated here! We are much tougher than you think!" CF said. Behind him, the other Smashers were starting to get back up despite the attack they just took.
"Tsk! You guys are persistence!" Cackletta said. "If you really want to be burned to ash, I'll grant it to you!"
"Cackletta! I won't forgive you!" Negi said angrily as he walked up in front of the Smashers and gave the evil spirit a very mean glare. "Not only were you trying to revive a monster that my ancestors fought so hard to defeat, but you also kidnapped my students, used Asuna's body without permission, and also harmed everyone as well!" Of all the people that were struck the energy balls, Kotaro, Setsuna, and Asuna (she's not even up to begin) were the ones that were knocked unconscious.
"Geheheh! You sure talk big for kid! What do you think you can do to me?"
"I will destroy you here! I will not allow your evil ways to go any further!" Negi spread out his fingers of his right hand and started chanting an incantation, "Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister! Spirits of thunder, spirits of wind! Gather unto me!" While saying this, a combination of lightning and wind slowly formed in the atmosphere around him.
"I can tell that you're aiming to use a strong spell, kid. Let's see who has the more powerful attack! Ultimate Beam-O-Doom!" Cackletta bent back her head with her mouth open and a ball of white magical energy was formed and its size gradually increased.
"O wind of the south sea, ye who blows, clad in thunder! Thunder Tempest!" The wind and lightning around Negi then shot forth in the form of a twisting helix, and at the same time, Cackletta brought down her head and white out a large white beam across the air.
Both the beams collided with each other and both sides concentrated their power into their beam attacks to try and overcome each other. It was a classical scene of beams clashing against each other.
"Amazing… For someone as young as him…" Marth commented.
"Get ready, guys," CF said, getting into fighting stance. "The moment we get the chance, we strike!"
As the beams pushed against each other, it started to become clear that Cackletta's was more powerful and her beam slowly pushed back Negi's beam. "I win! Geheheh!" she laughed in her head.
"No… It's starting to overpower me, and I can't hold this up forever!" Negi thought nervously. As he kept up his attack, he suddenly felt his nose itching. "Uh oh… Ah… ah… ah… ACHOO!!!!"
A single sneeze turned the table of the fight. The power of the Thunder Tempest suddenly became more powerful with the help of a boost from the sneeze and it instantly overpowered Cackletta's beam and pushed towards her. "WHAT?!" she gasped, and then the next thing she knew, she was blasted in the body by a powerful combination of wind and lightning. "!!!!!!"
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!
Cackletta was blown back from the massive explosion, and when the smoke cleared, she was dazed in air from the attack, but a portion of her body had been torn away by the attack and a heart-shape object was seen inside.
"The heart is the weak spot!" ROB said.
"Now, everyone!" CF shouted. Wasting no time, all the Smashers ran forward and unleashed an attack at the same time.
CF pulled back both his fists and unleashed THE punch using both hands, Marth dashed forward really fast to impale with his sword, Mario slammed a ball of fire in his hand forward, Wario released a concentrated stream of gas from his butt to propel forward like a rocket, ROB fired a thick red beam out from his eyes, MK shot himself forward while spinning like a drill, and Red commanded his Venusaur to shoot a green energy ball with a leaf inside. When all the attacks collided with Cackletta's heart, they shouted out at the top of their voice together, "SUPER FINAL SMASH BROTHERS!!!!!"
!!!!!!!!!!!
The powerful combo attack struck the heart with tremendous power and a crack streaked across her heart as a result. Pain like that of getting burned traveled throughout every single part of her body and she screamed in agony as her life slowly drained away. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. "HOW CAN I LOSE?!?!?!! AND TO THESE FILTHY BUNCH?!?!??! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I CANNOT DIE!!!!! I CANNOT DIE!!!!!! I CANNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!"
Light poured out from the cracks on her heart until her whole body was engulfed in a ball of light, and then there was a bright blast like that of a supernova explosion.
!!!!!!!!
And the evil sorceress was no more.
"We did-a eet…" Mario said.
"Phew… We got her at last," CF said with a smile.
"Wahahaha! Bow down to the great Wario now!" Wario shouted happily. "Hope you had a rotten day while it lasted! Wahahaha!
Negi sat onto the ground and sighed with relief knowing that the battle was over. "It's over… All over at last…" he said with a face that began to smile. "We did it…"
TO BE CONTINUED
Somehow I feel like I'm losing my touch when doing this chapter, but I still managed to get it out, even though I question its quality somewhat.
So… the villain is dead, now what?
