SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 23: Chemical Plant Finale
Off the Leash
Research Facility
From a couple of miles away from the Research Facility, the fighter Solid Snake was getting closer to the city as he drove with a stolen vehicle. "So many explosions. Might as well investigate," Snake thought to himself.
Snake almost reached the facility's vehicle entrance and saw some strange-looking soldiers up ahead. He realized it would be foolish to enter through the front, so he devised a plan. Snake set up proximity bombs onto the truck he was driving, and he quickly jumped off to hide. The soldiers prepared for the seemingly harmless truck that was about to ram through the entrance. The moment when they tried to shoot the tires out was the moment when the truck instantly blew up in their faces.
*!BOOM!*
Snake slid right past undetected and entered the Research Facility, only to see chemical fires and smoke filling the air, followed by another set of explosions. The lone fighter made his way closer to the center of the facility. He went for cover and noticed a dead body with binoculars and took them for himself. He saw dozens of regulars and then the terrorists themselves fitting in time bombs on the reactors. Snake continued to observe without detection.
Government registered soldiers prepared to evacuate the Research Facility, all running as if they were raring to go to combat. Rebel troops were apprehended or shot dead when being resistant. Then, as more soldiers started to escape, other groups of armed men came as well, interestingly, they were not on either side of the war.
When the registration forces caught sight of these suspicious soldiers, they opened fire on them. However, it didn't work because their bodies had special body armor that takes no damage from firearms or any sort of projectile. The mysterious terrorists fired back with unseen weapons, dealing large amounts of damage on the soldiers. The terrorists went to the center of the facility and activated powerful explosives that were going to set off in about 15 minutes, virtually killing everyone within the Research Facility.
(15 MINUTES REMAINING)
The princesses Peach and Lucina managed to stay alive throughout the whole time. They hid from the terrorists, as they patrolled the area for the time being. Finally, they reached a safe distance, away from the center.
"We're safe, I think," said Peach.
"Not until we get out of this mess," affirmed Lucina.
"How did it get to this? And who are those men?" asked Peach with so many questions.
One of the remaining rebels, Yoshi, came up to them and was filled with burn marks on his green dinosaur skin.
"Yoshi, you're alright! Wait, where's Luigi?" said Peach to Yoshi.
"He was captured by registration, but I was able to escape just before the attack happened. But these guys are different. I don't think they're on anyone's side," told Yoshi.
"What are they doing right now? They seem to be guarding something," questioned Lucina.
"Uh, uh… are those bombs they're using? Guys, they're gonna destroy the entire facility!" Peach realized.
"Damn it. I need to find out how to remove those bombs without being seen," Snake said to himself.
Snake continued to look around until he noticed a princess in a pink dress, a woman with a sword, and a green walking dinosaur together, who also figured out what was happening. Snake rubbed his eyes and looked again. "Am I still hallucinating or is it what I'm breathing right now?" Snake whispered. "Maybe they could help me. It's my best bet," Snake thought.
With stealth, he snuck up on the other Smashers and waited to reveal himself. He didn't have time to hide in a box. Peach, Lucina, and Yoshi still had trouble on how to disable the bombs as fast as possible.
"We must stop them. But we can't do so by fighting so drastically," said Yoshi.
As Snake walked slowly, Peach and Lucina noticed his presence when they turned around. Finally, he revealed himself as soon as they all noticed Snake sneaking up on them.
"You there. I need your help to stop this place from blowing us to kingdom come. Will you help?" said Snake.
"Who are you? You don't look like you're from around here. And why did you try to sneak up on us, mister?" questioned Peach with hands on her hips.
"Solid Snake by codename and I need to find my way back to my world," told Snake.
"So, you have to be one of us, don't you? A Smasher, right?" said Lucina.
"No, no, of course not. Not sure if I would qualify as one," the man replied. "I'll explain everything if we make it out here alive," told Snake.
"Okay. We still don't trust you though," confirmed Yoshi.
"...We're even," shot back Snake.
(10 MINUTES REMAINING)
They got closer to the center of the facility with less than 10 minutes left to stop the bombs from going off. Snake executed a plan to prevent this from occurring.
"Here's what I'm thinking: you lot are going to fight them as a diversion while I cover you guys from above and disable those bombs. I have numerous experiences dealing with these situations. Those soldiers have armor that could be impervious to chemical explosions and normal attacks, so be on your guard," explained Snake as everyone agreed even when there was doubt over Snake.
The Smashers below attacked the terrorists whilst Snake stayed above and knocked out the patrolling terrorists one by one without being seen. He was able to defuse the first time bomb. The terrorists immediately focused their attention on Snake afterward when they caught him defusing the bombs.
*BOMB ONE DOWN*
"How many bombs are left?" asked Peach while avoiding attacks.
(8 MINUTES REMAINING)
"About four more," Snake replied. He went after the next one and took down any soldiers blocking his path.
*BOMB TWO DOWN*
"That's another one," Snake defused the second bomb. The terrorists resorted to using their guns and firing at the Smashers.
"Uh, Mister Snake. A little help," told Peach as she avoided gunfire.
"Stand back everyone!" shouted Snake when pulled out an RPG and blasted all terrorists within the radius.
Even with stronger than normal attacks and rocket-propelled grenades, the terrorists took no damage. Peach in shock with her eyes wide stood in fear as she expressed, "They just won't stop!"
"Not even my Critical Hits are hurting them," said Lucina.
"We might not last at this rate," Yoshi admitted.
Snake, who was still above one floor, went for cover and figured out a way to at least temporarily debilitate the terrorists. He used a smoke bomb to get past and knock out his enemies.
(6 MINUTES REMAINING)
"Let's hope this works long enough," said Snake as he threw a small device into the center.
"That device can release a huge shockwave that can paralyze even the hardest of metals on anyone," he explained. The small device soon reacted, releasing a shockwave that sent all terrorists into paralysis.
Snake disabled the third and fourth bombs that were conveniently close to each other. As he went for the last one, one terrorist stopped him from doing so.
*BOMB THREE DOWN*
*BOMB FOUR DOWN*
(2 MINUTES REMAINING)
"Dammit! And only 2 minutes left. Thought there'd be more time," Snake as he clenched his teeth.
He engaged in a fistfight with the unarmed terrorist. Knowing fists weren't going to cut it, he implanted another device that also disables powerful armor. Peach, Lucina, and Yoshi were soon unable to continue fighting the unexpected foes as they were too much to handle.
(1 MINUTE REMAINING)
"No!" said Peach as she passed out from being hit by one of the terrorists. Only 1 minute remained and Snake had seconds to make a move. Snake rapidly brought out a deadly machine gun and shot away to keep the enemies at bay.
(30 SECONDS REMAINING)
More terrorists blocked his path, giving Snake no choice but to dodge them all as he threw a smoke bomb as he ran past them. 30 seconds remained as Snake went on to stop the fifth and final bomb. As he proceeded to do so, one of the terrorists shot the reactor with a rifle, setting it to explode automatically.
(15 SECONDS REMAINING)
"NO, FU—!" Snake closed his eyes as the reactors blew up one by one as the facility went along with it, releasing a burst of fire and chemicals into the sunset.
*!KABOOOOOM!*
