SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 18: City Warfare
[Anti-Reg]
{One Day Later}
Rooftops
All was quiet throughout the south side of the city. The most unfortunate stage for a ruined battleground of the civil war. Registration troops were stationed at every corner of the city, searching for rebels. From several rooftops that remained unguarded, the rebel forces mounted a full-scale assault by shooting machine guns and firing anti-aircraft rockets. The soldiers were covered in white power suits, similar to the registration forces with their dark blue and gray military fatigues.
After several soldiers were either killed or wounded by the wake-up call, a gunfight emerged on both sides. The rebel Smashers arrived on the scene with Fox guarding the skies and the rest on the ground. Mario delivered a speech for the strategy on winning the battle as the rebels closely heard him.
"In order to get out of this battle clean, we need to take out as many registration troops before they back off. We have good leverage on the army with the stolen goods but remember… push forward up north. We hit from down south and go upwards as we jump from the rooftops. Any questions?... Stay on guard, everyone," spoke Mario. "Fox, be careful from the air," Mario told Fox through a headset.
"I'll do what I can. You'll have to take out several anti-aircraft guns that are placed on the buildings," said Fox with caution.
"Team, we'll be doing the same as well as cutting down SRA supplies. Stay a good distance from gunfire and stay close to protection," said Mario to Zelda and Ike.
"Consider it done," Ike ran off to fight some registered soldiers. The rebels advanced ahead of the pro-reg army by taking down some of their defenses.

Rooftops
Captain Falcon, Marth, Peach, Palutena, Pit, Lucina, Robin, and Sonic were immediately dispatched into the battlefield while Samus and Falco dominated the skies.
"If I see that dog, I'll tan his hide," threatened Samus.
"Not if I catch him first," replied Falco.
"Keep Peach out of harm's way will you?" she said to the others through a smartphone.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine as long as I stay behind you guys," Peach confirmed, giving a nod. The registered Smashers proceeded throughout the buildings that were close to each other, but rebels spotted them.
"Heads up! They sent in their goon squad," alerted one of the rebel soldiers.
"ATTACK!" Marth proclaimed before engaging the soldiers.
"Ugh. Stupid mortal prince," Palutena insulted as she used her divine power to make her Smasher allies impervious to the gunfire.
"Thank the Gods," praised Lucina with relief as if she almost got hit.
"Thank you, Palutena. We'll have to clear a path so our soldiers can get through without entering the line of fire," said Captain Falcon.
*BLARING SIRENS*
Suddenly, there were frequent alarming sounds of loud sirens that informed every one of more incoming troops and vehicles, including several army helicopters belonging to the rebels. One of the helicopters caught sight of the registered Smashers as they tried to cross a building meters away, and the armed chopper blocked them from getting across. The heavy-lift, tandem rotor chopper was fitted with automatic machine guns and a grenade launcher.
"These rebels have choppers too?!" said Captain Falcon, frustrated before finding cover.
The pro-reg Smashers quickly ducked for cover and had to act fast before getting shot at. As soon as the helicopter threw a small bomb, an idea was formed. After the second grenade was thrown, Captain Falcon sprung into action and tossed it back at the helicopter, destroying it and causing it to collide with a nearby antenna tower. The impact made the antenna fall, which made a path to get across to the other building.
*BLARING SIRENS*
"Let's keep moving," signaled Captain Falcon.
The pro-reg Smashers reached the next building just in time before tanks arrived below on the road and blew up the large antenna.
"Shoot em'! Shoot em' down! Dispatch another squad!" yelled a soldier when bullets were fired upon the pro-reg Smashers. Palutena blasted her magic, releasing a shockwave that sent the soldiers flying out of the rooftops.
Then, across from another building, a rebel soldier fired a rocket launcher at them in a lunge position. A pro-reg fighter jet flew past the soldier but made a U-turn and attempted to blast the lone rebel soldier. The soldier added another rocket and aimed at the jet. Without a second thought, he fired the rocket at the same time the jet shot at him. The jet was hit and it immediately crashed into the soldier, resulting in an explosion, damaging the building. The building collapsed and everyone hiding inside as a bunker fled in terror but were too late to escape. Most of them were crushed by the rubble of the collapsed building and others were literally burned to death as they tried to run out of the building.
"By the Gods," whispered Lucina in fear. She asked to leave. "We should go."
"It's not a pretty sight, but we have to keep moving forward," Palutena said in kind words.
They continue to scour the rooftops to find a plain field as an advantage point. Suddenly, they heard sounds of rapid shots trying to hit them.
"Snipers! Everyone get down!" shouted Captain Falcon as the registrants took cover.
"Pit, deal with them," commanded Palutena to her angel servant.
"I'm on it! Four Sacred Treasures!" Pit flew up as high as he could and fired blue arrows at the snipers, dispatching them all in a flash.
"It's safe now," told Pit after hovering down.
They used a tall crane to get to yet another building, but then a second armored helicopter belonging to the rebels made the crane collapse by shooting out a stream of rockets.
"LOOK OUT!" Samus warned them a little too late.
*!CRASH!*
Miraculously, they landed on the train tracks. The tracks appeared to have been closed down and have signs of rust wear and tear. Samus checked up on their condition.
"…That was too close. Well, at least you have the advantage now. I suggest using the anti-aircraft machine guns the rebels are destroying against their own tanks," ordered Samus. As they continued through the train tracks, the registered Smashers saw more jets from both sides fly right past them and engage in dogfighting.
"They're on the tracks!" yelled a rebel soldier.
"Do not let them near the guns!" screamed another soldier.
"I can hijack one of the anti-aircraft guns, but you guys have to cover me, alright?" Captain Falcon instructed.
Sonic dashed and disarmed them all without trouble. "Way too easy!" he gave a thumbs up.
"What the hell?... That blue hedgehog!" said a confused rebel soldier before being blasted back by Robin's magic.
Captain Falcon manned one of the working guns. The rest of the Smashers disabled the other soldiers and anti-aircraft guns. When rebel tanks tried to cross under the train tracks, they were met with machine gun bullets that destroyed them one by one until one of the tank cannons blew up the machine gun, and other tanks in good condition came along to destroy the train tracks to force the registrant Smashers into submission.
"Everyone, jump off!" said Captain Falcon as they jumped off right before the train tracks got destroyed. They landed on the pavement. Heading into an intersection from a block away, the pro-reg Smashers were unknowingly surrounded.
"Hurry! This way!" signaled Captain Falcon. "Oh, shoot!" he alerted when tanks were already covering the intersection.
"Samus, help us now!" shouted Captain Falcon when calling her through the headset.
"Okay, okay! I'll send in an airstrike. You guys are with the group of tanks, right?" Samus responded.
"Yeah… wait, don't send an airstrike!" Captain Falcon warned.
"Shield yourselves with magic because it's about to start raining fire," said Samus in a cynical attitude when she activated the airstrike.
With their powers, Robin and Palutena protected the registered Smashers from the air attack. The airstrike obliterated all the rebel tanks in one go.
*!KABOOOOOM!*
"All right, we made it out!" said Sonic in relief.
"I thought we were going to die," Lucina stopped her short hyperventilation.
All of a sudden, robot machines crawled out from the ruined tanks and set upon the registered Smashers. The machines were gray in color and had assault weapons stuck to them.
"It's not over yet, guys!" Sonic spin-dashed.
Under magical barriers, the registrants battled the rebel machines as they continued to push them back. Even then, more machines were arriving to replace the broken ones.
"Even more of them?!" Sonic spin dashed again.
"There's just too many of them, guys!" Peach was in worry.
"That's it!" said Sonic as he ran circles around the robots until a blue tornado was created. Robin used her magic to dismantle the remaining machines within the tornado.
"There we go," Sonic, wiping his gloves.
"No time for small talk. We need you back on the rooftops ASAP," commanded Samus.
"We're on our way!" replied Captain Falcon over the headset.

Repel Counterattack
The rebel Smashers were caught in a firefight between dozens of human SRA troops and many registered SRA machines without weapons in the middle of another intersection blocks away from the registrants. Helicopters belonging to the registration forces dropped down reinforcements.
"We cannot hold them… for much longer," said Ike while being tackled by the machines.
Allied rebel soldiers came to the Smashers' aid and began firing with assault rifles as opposed to the registration forces, who carried carbine rifles. Yoshi, fully recovered, also appeared.
"I've got your back," Yoshi made an entrance.
"Yoshi, you recovered? And you sent our people to save us? What about my brother?" Mario, startled.
"Luigi's safe. Everything's fine," Yoshi told him.
"We just need to push back against the SRA until they stop coming," said Mario. Afterward, larger robots appeared as well, bashing through the damaged registered tanks to reach their targets.
"Heads up, team! Looks like more government troops headed your way. I don't think they care who gets caught in the crossfire," said Fox over the headset.
Zelda trapped several registered brutes in magic, which allowed Ike to use his burning sword to strike all of the machines at once, breaking apart all of them. Just before a quick breather, the registered reinforcements came along.
"Mama Mía! Here we go again," said Mario in frustration.
With their might, the rebel Smashers battled hard to defeat all reinforcements. Mario built up fire from his palms to punch through the armor of each registrant soldier. Ike rammed his enemies and knocked them out cold. Yoshi used his dinosaur tail to whack the soldiers unconscious. Zelda increased the power of her allies by giving them a mystical boost. Mario and Yoshi tag-teamed on the remaining soldiers until everyone retreated. At last, the registration forces backed off of the rebels, at least for now.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we got trouble. Registration forces are sending in dozens of fighter jets. They're on their way… approaching fast", cautioned Fox.
"We have to make sure we get our people to pull back," said Mario with slight worries.
"I can make sure these folks get out safely if you can divert them towards you," said Yoshi.
"Sounds like a plan. Liberty Squad, get back on the rooftops," Fox told them.

Rooftops
As Mario, Ike, and Zelda climbed all the way to the top of buildings, the government fighter jets zoomed right past them, followed by a sonic boom. Fox's Arwing also flew right past them, as well as Falco's Arwing and Samus' Gunship. Fox quickly made a U-turn and shot at the two jets. Samus returned the favor by using her lasers. Falco released smart bombs, in which Fox took damage.
Then, all three jets, as well as the government jets, flew away from each other, which caused Fox, Samus, and Falco to ram one another at high speed. With determination and no common sense, all three jets unintentionally flew into each other, firing their equipped weapons.
"NOOO!" yelled Mario and Peach simultaneously as everyone witnessed it.
*!BOOOOM!*
An explosion in the skies occurred, resulting in jets falling down. Fortunately, the three pilots survived the crash, but all each badly wounded. Fox was able to jump out and landed a couple buildings away from his allies. Samus, who leaped out as soon as the collision occurred, successfully landed on a roof. Falco also did the same, sustaining some injuries.
"Damn—" Fox said as he coughed up and limped forward to stand up.
"That… was stupid of us, wasn't it?" said Samus as she breathed heavily.
"Yeah, let's never do that again!" Falco said angrily.
"Look. He's down now," Samus pointed at Fox.
"He's slipping. Now we got him," smirked Falco.
"Shoot! I won't get away in time. I need help!" Fox was alarmed.
"Don't worry, Fox! We'll get to you!" shouted Mario across.
"Zelda, teleport us to him," he told Zelda before she used her magic to send them to said location.
When the rebels finally reached Fox, he was badly injured in the crash. Mario gave him an adrenaline shot, which temporarily healed him fast and allowed him to move again.
"Thanks, guys," Fox smiled when he got up. "Now let's leave this place."
"I have a plan for that. Just follow my lead," said Mario.
Samus and Falco called for the other registered Smashers to head up to the rooftops as they continued to chase down the leading rebels.
