SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 13: Against the Odds
[Pro-Reg]
Rebel Briefing Station
"Darn, they're already here," Fox heard banging. He quickly placed a yellow forcefield around him to buy time and activate an exit switch.
Samus, Falco, Marth, and Cap blew open the doors to find Fox held up there.
"Okay, pup. You know the drill. Put your leash on and come with us," said Samus.
"You don't control me, Aran. I won't make this easy," the anthro fox spoke.
"Sorry, Fox. But this is how it's going to happen. Nothing personal… boss," explained Falco pulling out a pistol.
"You're gonna wish you hadn't cornered me," he threatened when rebel troops stormed from all open sides. "A cornered animal is more vicious than its predators," Fox warned as he ordered the soldiers to attack.
"No time to waste. We have to stop Fox before he escapes," shouted Samus as the fight began. Wall cannons appeared and fired at the registrants.
"Don't let them near the cannons," Fox ordered.
"That's it. Take out the cannons. They must be powering the shield," Captain Falcon deduced. Falco threw sticky bombs and Marth weaved through the blasts and sliced the cannons open. The shields went down along with the last of the rebel soldiers as the cannons were disabled.
"I guess there's no time to escape," said Fox as he revealed a powerful, large gun which fired electricity and plasma and took aim. He fired at them, but narrowly missed.
Samus shot back with her arm cannon, but Fox easily avoided the blast. He fired back at them and dodged potential attacks. Falco and Samus tried to phase him while Marth and Captain Falcon fought him directly. It was difficult for Fox to move quickly enough with a heavy weapon. Samus shot the large blaster from Fox's hands, which allowed time for Marth to stab him at the side of his abdomen.
"Argh!" Fox howled as he took damage from the stab. He kicked Marth and pulled the sword that wounded on the side of his abdomen. Fox pulled out two semi-automatics and brushed off the wound.
"I won't let up," Fox shouted as he charged at his opponents. The pro-reg Smashers returned the favor. However, Fox evaded the attacks, barely keeping ground. Blood dripped from the wound. Samus grinned for a moment.
"You should. Before you bleed to death," Samus suggested before taking aim with her arm cannon.
"...Never. To be honest, that stab was nothing," Fox smirked which made Samus frown. Struggling to hold the wound, he shot at the registrants and continued to avoid hits to figure an escape plan. Fox threw grenades and sticky bombs at them, but his wound bled even more. Enough of blood draining down from his wound caught up to him when he stopped evading and clutched at his injury.
Samus fired her Zero Laser at Fox without second thoughts.
"Ah crud!" Fox was hit hard. He soon fell to the floor, still holding onto his wound and whined in pain.
"What is wrong with you, Samus? We're supposed to detain them. You could've killed him!" Captain Falcon reprimanded her.
"I-I don't know what came over me. But we got the top rebels in custody in one mission and all that's left is Mario," Samus shook her head in slight guilt. "The rebels are going to the penitentiary just north of the city. There'll be a transport convoy to escort the prisoners. Hopefully, Mario doesn't make a move."
Trying to stand up and realizing he shouldn't have taken a stab from a longsword and fought, Fox pointed, "We won't give up so easily. In a way, this will be the only victory you'll taste."
The small monitor in the room turned on by itself and showed a hologram of Mario.
"Mario. About time you made an appearance again. You already lost this battle. You and your buddies weren't able to hold us back," proclaimed Samus.
"Fox might have made a mistake, but that's only one loss. Thanks for showing us what we're up against. We'll be ready for you next time," said Mario before signing off.
"Next time?" said Captain Falcon looking confused.
"Ah, that's just talk. We'll catch him in no time," argued Falco.
"There's no time to play around. Take the dog and get him medical attention too," commanded Samus.
Ike and Fox were soon taken outside of the hideout and given medics before being transported into prison trucks.

Rooftops
Mario successfully escaped from registration forces and hid for a while on the rooftops to figure out a strategy to liberate his friends. He sat directly on the porch of the roof, pressing his head with his gloved hands.
"I have to get them out of there! Err, I should have stayed. I have failed as a leader," Mario thought outwardly.
"You only fail if you let your responsibilities go," Lucario, who happened to notice the plumber, decided to swoop down.
"Huh? Lucario, right? Where were you all this time?" Mario questioned and ready to fight
"I was meditating in a jungle hundreds of miles from here and I came back knowing what would happen," Lucario explained.
"The government issued the Smasher Registration Act, causing a civil war. And I have myself to blame. Things aren't going so well. I have a low number of troops as support, but no munitions since the registration forces confiscated them. To top that off, my team's been taken into custody," Mario said in anguish.
"You have to set things right to get this law expunged. Start by saving your friends. You know they're heading to that prison just north of here. Their convoy is nearby," Lucario informed him.
"Really?!"
"You can make it there in time."
"You're right. I started a war. And I have to finish it. Thank you."
"Do what is right to save lives, Mario."
"Would you consider joining our cause to end the registration act?" Mario wondered.
"I don't want to be in any part of this war you all have going on. My apologies," Lucario replied as he leaped from rooftop to rooftop.
Mario also jumped from building to building in order to intercept the convoy holding the rebels. Freerunning and sprinting, he finally got to the street line where the convoys were driving at.
"There they are!" the plumber sprinted while jumping across buildings to catch up.
