SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War

Chapter 21: Containment

[Pro-Reg]

The Research Facility

Both rebels and registered Smashers scrambled across the facility in order to battle each other, similarly in a tournament-like fashion. The main rebels: Mario, Fox, Zelda, and Ike stayed together as a team of four, while the rest separated. Similarly, the elite registrants stayed close together. Cap, Samus, Falco, and Marth formed a team of four to fight off any rebels that dare to challenge them. Palutena, Pit, Sonic, Lucina, Robin, and Peach fought either together or alone. As the leading rebels attacked against registered soldiers, Mario talked about how to get out of the facility.

"Fox, can you try to disable the forcefield?" said Mario after punching a soldier.

"I can do it, but it's going to take an hour until the effects of my device weaken the forcefield," Fox replied as he turned on an emitter device that could dissolve the shield.

They jumped down the floors of the open facility to dodge the registrants. Meanwhile, Luigi and Yoshi held off registered soldiers, until coming face to face with Lucina and Robin.

"Now ladies. We don't want to hurt you," said Yoshi.

"We don't want to fight either, green lizard," shot back Lucina. "Look, you may not believe us, but there's something greater than this. Something more dangerous than a war. They call themselves Master Hand and Crazy Hand."

"Impossible! You don't mean… we defeated them a long time ago," said Yoshi with shock.

"Yes, and we have to do whatever it takes to—" said Lucina before the sounds and presence of chemical explosions separated the four Smash fighters. When she and her friend managed to survive and climb their way up to safety, Lucina had a cut on her forehead and marks on her armor.

"Gods," coughed Lucina, leaving Robin in wonder of what she was trying to explain.

On the other hand, Yoshi pulled Luigi to safety. Covered in ashes and cuts, Yoshi made quick to question if Lucina was speaking the truth.

"Is it true to what she was saying?" asked Yoshi to Luigi.

"I don't know what to-a say," said Luigi. "Perhaps she was playing tricks on us," he added.

"Maybe…" thought Yoshi as the two rebels continued to move forward. "No. Can't be. Few people know about the Master Hand," Yoshi wondered.

Moreover, the elite registered Smashers soon caught sight of Yoshi and Luigi and stopped them from passing.

"How's this for an ambush?" smirked Samus as she fired from her arm cannon, injuring the rebels even further. Rebel troops shot at the registrant Smashers to defend Yoshi and Luigi. Falco reflected the shots and fired back with two automatic pistols.

"Arrest them!" ordered Samus to the accompanying registered soldiers. Yoshi outright kicked one of the soldiers in the gut and flutter jumped away from the registration forces. Still injured, Yoshi limped his way to find help without getting spotted.

"Nevermind the dinosaur! We have to look for Mario," Samus stated. The four registrants continued on a path of wiping out any rebels they see fit.

Research Facility

On the far side of the facility, the leading rebels held off the last of the positioned registered soldiers. "There we go," said Mario while dusting off his gloves.

"I see an elevator. This way," signaled Mario as the rebels headed up the elevator. Once they reached the very top, they saw more registered soldiers waiting for them. Fox shot them all with two guns.

Afterward, they saw a winged angel with his patron goddess hover from above to meet the renegades.

"Do you think yourselves as heroes? I'd say it's not a good look," said Palutena.

"Yes, a little," remarked Mario.

"Listen, Mario. You're making a mistake by going too far into this war," said Pit.

"We didn't send an entire army to hunt you or use a trap for a showdown," remarked Fox.

"Yes, but none of this would have occurred if you'd listen," scolded Palutena.

"We listened and now we understand. We know that you and the government will stop at nothing until we are brought down in the name of your 'presumed justice'" shouted Mario clenching his gloved fists.

"If that is your true wish, then perish," said Palutena before she and Pit unleashed their bows.

Zelda blasted magical bolts against the goddess and her angel, but was deflected by Palutena's shield. She commanded Pit to do an aerial attack. However, Fox shot him down to the battle floor. Ike charged at Palutena, but she blocked his attack with her shield. The green haired goddess attempted to strike him with her staff, but the blue-haired mercenary swordsman deflected it with his hidden aegis. Mario struck at the shield, denting it.

When Pit got up, he was met with Zelda's attacks. Pit fired his blue arrows at her. Dodging them, the elf princess drew out her sword. Pit quickly pulled out his twin-bladed staff before being hit. Attacking each other with swords, Zelda gained the upper hand by tripping him after he tried to attack.

Similarly, Ike fatally smashed Palutena's shield. Mario knocked her down with a punch. To counter this, the green-eyed goddess released her holy powers in a shine of light. Pit immediately recovered and came to his goddess's aid.

"There is no question what could happen to mortals such as yourself," said Palutena in a sinister tone. Before that something could happen, Fox shot both the goddess and the angel with his pistols. The goddess was paralyzed for about a couple seconds before being knocked out by Zelda's magic.

"You cannot defeat a goddess," announced Palutena when she quickly recovered and increased her energy to tenfold.

"Miss Palutena. You must calm down a bit, please," begged Pit.

"Silence! These traitors must suffer for their crimes!" said the goddess in a frightening tone which scared the young angel. Palutena attempted to destroy Fox with her holy powers, but missed.

"Stand still!" shouted Palutena. In a clever plan, Fox continued to dodge the goddess's attacks at a time to figure out an opening.

"There it is," whispered Fox slyly. The light brown furred vulpine took the chance and kicked Palutena when she was open, knocking her down, and threw a smart bomb at the right time. Palutena's clothes were torn to shreds, nearly exposing her unmentionables. She blushed and covered herself. "Oops!"

"You'll pay for that!" said Palutena before being attacked again by Zelda's magic, forcing her into submission.

Pit, surrounded by rebel Smashers, fled in terror. The rebels traveled in closer into the facility as they heard gunshots, yelling at all sides, and saw smoking, some chemical fires, and soldiers scouring the area. Mario and the rebels proceeded to another elevator and went down a floor.

Research Facility

The registrant Smashers continued to arrest anyone they saw fit as their enemies. Cap, Sam, Falco, and Marth met up with Sonic, who managed to hold off the opposing forces.

"Where are Peach and Palutena?" Captain Falcon asked. Before a response, Pit flew at the scene covered in bruises.

"Lady Palutena is hurt. We have to go back," said Pit.

"Where is Peach?!" demanded Samus.

"I'm afraid I don't know where she is," answered Pit, trying to look unafraid.

"Dammit! They could've captured her," Samus angrily stomped.

"You, find your goddess and capture the remaining rebels! Cap, Falco, and Marth, come with me. We're going after Mario and his little band of rebels," ordered Samus.

"That won't be necessary, mortal," said Palutena who just flew in, recovered but weakened.

"Well, now's your chance to redeem yourself. Hurry up and get after them," said Samus as the assigned registrants did their tasks.

"Hurry! To this elevator," signaled Mario. Once they reached their destination, they did not notice that the registrants had spotted him.

"Let's sneak up on them. They haven't seen us yet," Captain Falcon suggested when Samus just ignored him and ran after the rebels.

"She never listens, does she?" Palutena shook her head and as everyone went after her.

Samus, Captain Falcon, Marth, Falco, and Palutena simultaneously confronted the four leading rebels.

"It ends here, Mario. This time you won't get away. Now, where is Peach?" said Samus in a demanding tone.

"What are you talking about? We don't know where she is," Mario told them.

"You will receive harsh punishment once I'm done with you," threatened Palutena.

"Well, aren't you a charmer?" Fox chimed in, which made Palutena angrier.

"Forget retreating. This is how we're going to win this war," Ike unsheathed his golden sword.

"Let us help you with that," Samus fired a missile at Mario, hitting him.

She fired more missiles aimed at him. Mario dodged them before using a shield-like metal object to deflect one of the incoming missiles.

"Oh no. How ever are we going to stop you? See ya later," Samus spoke sarcastically, signaling her team to run away.

"What the… after them!" said Mario in shock before he and the rebels chased the registrants.
