SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 45: God
Enter Tabuu
"This is it! Your end!" Tabuu opened the intro.
Beyond the final gate of Subspace arose Tabuu once more; his wings flashed and struck the very reality of Subspace itself. Tabuu smirked at his enemies and spread his wings even further. The Smashers responded with cold and angry looks. Mario glared at Tabuu.
"Tabuu, this is it! This time we won't lose to you!" Mario with fire burning in his heart.
"You can all attack as usual," Tabuu had a bored look on his face.
Mario leaped as he could and performed his Finale, which had no effect on Tabuu; it didn't even phase the God of Subspace. Tabuu, in a motionless state, sliced Mario with a weak barrage of slashes. The plumber fell back. Lucario charged up and fired his Aura Storm at full power, with that having no effect as well. Tabuu silently shot a shockwave and knocked Lucario back hard.
Ness and Lucas both performed the PK Starstorm Omega. However, both psychics launched the attack horizontally as a stream of bullets instead of vertically like a shower.
"PK… STARSTORM!" Lucas and Ness shot their respective Starstorm attacks straight at Tabuu.
"Hm, a good effort at retaliation. But…" Tabuu built a golden barrier around him, making him take no damage. Tabuu gleamed a smirk.
"Oh no!" Ness and Lucas said at the same time. Tabuu shot his own version of the Starstorm, sending it at the Smashers. The young boys tried to absorb the dark attack, but they inflicted heavy damage.
"How dare you! I won't ever forgive you for this!" Palutena unleashed a divine ray of light and shot the mighty arrow at Tabuu.
"Have at thee," Tabuu negated the ray and shot a darker version right back. Palutena was shot but survived.
"Lady Palutena! No! C'mon, Dark Pit!" Pit gave one serious look at Dark Pit before he flew off.
Dark Pit was puzzled before taking off. "That fool has never addressed me as Dark Pit," he thought.
The two angels took off. Tabuu fired an array of violet red lasers; Dark Pit and Pit dodged them all and both fired at Tabuu with their arrows. Tabuu easily disintegrated the arrows without moving and smacked the two angels back into a corner.
Rosalina shot a shining star of destruction, which was set to explode. Tabuu absorbed the star without taking damage. Tabuu shot a small dark energy ball at the space princess. The resulting explosion injured her and sent her flying. Wolf luckily caught her as she came flying into him.
"You alright, princess?" Wolf desperately tried to wake her up. She opened her bright blue shining eyes at the wolf mercenary.
"I'm fine. T-thanks… Wolf," Rosalina held him tightly.
Zelda transformed into Sheik and tried to jab Tabuu by jumping high and shooting shurikens. Tabuu simply rained down bullets, injuring the masked ninja. Greninja, who was right behind Sheik, shot his own water shurikens. Again, Tabuu took no damage. He knocked both Sheik and Greninja to the ground with a slight shockwave.
"Please, try another tactic," Tabuu grinned at the heroes.
"Hmph," Samus smirked as she charged up her Zero Laser to the maximum. Her Power Suit was around 50%.
Mario readied his Flaming Finale as he clenched his fists.
"ERRRAHHHHH!" Lucario went into his mega evolved state and armed himself with Mega Aura Storm. Once powered up, all three Smashers fired their Ultimates at Tabuu.
"Oh, that's adorable," Tabuu laughed himself off before the triple fused energy wave reached him.
Tabuu created his golden barrier again. This time, however, the energy wave was so powerful that it broke through the barrier and hit Tabuu. The God of Subspace was forced to hold it back with his hands. Tabuu hissed as he struggled to hold the energy wave. Mario, Samus, and Mega Lucario pushed forward against Tabuu.
"HAHHHHHH!" the three heroes shouted in pushing Tabuu to the edge. Tabuu struggled.
"[hisses loudly] How impressive," Tabuu held back the energy wave long enough as his true power began to leak.
Tabuu retracted his colorful wings and used the almighty Off Waves to completely negate the triple fused energy wave. Mario, Samus, and Mega Lucario were wide-eyed as they witnessed what Tabuu just did.
"But I guess I was wrong. For pushing me to go to my limits by a margin, you will feel the power of my retribution," Tabuu unleashed a stronger version of Off Waves, Ultimate Off Waves.
Regaining their strength, Rosalina, Palutena, Ness, and Lucas created an all-powerful psychic cosmic divine barrier to protect their friends. The Ultimate Off Waves ultimately destroyed the barrier and affected everyone inside it. Although it would have killed them all, the barrier also reduced the damage taken, even after it was destroyed, saving the Smashers from death. Nearly everyone had some strength to continue, but Tabuu was quick to react.
"You won't get off that easy! The next one should kill you all!" Tabuu glared at everyone. "Such potential wasted. You're nothing! Only dust waiting to be kicked away into the wind. Hahahahahahahaha!"
And then it hit Sonic. He was in a weak state from being affected by the Ultimate Off Waves. The hedgehog pounded his fists on the ground and thought about what Tabuu said to him. The part where he called him weak, and all those times where he was pushed aside as a minor character throughout the war.
"It's not over yet, Tabuu!" Sonic shouted at himself internally. He reached into his bag, revealing seven colorful emeralds; the Chaos Emeralds. The emeralds fell out of the bag. They began to shine gradually.
"This is where it begins! This is where I make my mark!" Sonic stared at the floor and struggled to get back up, with his knees still on the ground. The blue hedgehog released his anger and expressed the pain he was feeling right now, about everything.
"Errrr, RRAAHHHHH!" Sonic screamed with rage. The Chaos Emeralds shined brightly as they floated in midair and began to infuse themselves with Sonic. Sonic's blue quills flashed a golden yellow color as they began to stand up. A yellow and gold aura appeared around him. Sonic's eyes turned from green to ruby red. His entire body flashed from blue to gold. Sonic shouted at the top of his lungs and transformed into a super hedgehog as the Chaos Emeralds transferred inside him; Super Sonic.
"Huh?! What's this! A new character?" Tabuu looked straight at Sonic. The golden hedgehog stared right back with an angry look.
"No. This… IS SUPER SONIC!" Sonic released his gold aura and charged straight for Tabuu before he could have a chance to strike. Tabuu's wings were immediately shattered when Sonic broke them with just a Super Spin Dash.
"You won't be getting another try at that!" Sonic angrily stated. The rest of the Smashers felt relieved.
Yoshi smirked happily at the sight of Sonic's ultimate form. "Now show him what you're made of!" the green dinosaur thought as he watched the fight.
"You've shattered my wings? I'm impressed that someone as weak as you could destroy them," Tabuu had no sense of fear. In fact, "I'm getting excited. A battle against a divine spirit must certainly be legendary for you. However… this… this is not my limit!" Tabuu's power spiked up.
Tabuu's body vanished as Sonic tried to punch him. Tabuu kicked Sonic in the stomach elegantly. Sonic tried another punch, but Tabuu easily dodged it and went for a strong sucker punch. Sonic went flying and went for a Spin Charge attack. In a flash, Tabuu felt a little pain as Sonic dragged his quills into Tabuu's abdomen. Sonic punched and kicked the God of Subspace in a fury of attacks. Finally, Tabuu used his two hands to grab hold of Sonic's arms. Tabuu headbutted Sonic, sending the blue hedgehog with a throbbing pain on his skull.
"That superstate is the only reason you're alive right now," Tabuu admired Super Sonic. "Soon, you'll run out of time."
"Darn it. He's not even phased," Sonic thought. "Maybe I just have to try a little harder too," the hedgehog smirked.
"It's not clever to act so smugly, especially in the presence of a god," Tabuu retorted.
Tabuu and Sonic rushed towards each other at the same time and clashed fist to fist and leg to leg. Sonic swooped above and tried to smash Tabuu's head. Unfortunately, Tabuu disappeared and reappeared behind Sonic. He repeatedly slashed at his opponent, creating visible purple slashes. Sonic barely escaped the slashes. He grunted in pain as cut marks were showing around his body.
"Hehehahahahaha!" Tabuu made a pointing gesture, meaning he was going to do another move.
Tabuu's finger caused a line to flash at five different points aimed at Sonic. In about two seconds, the blue hedgehog didn't realize it until those five points exploded furiously. Sonic was knocked back hard, but survived. Super Sonic kept the pressure inside his body and charged straight for Tabuu yet again. Sonic suddenly released the high pressure in his body and it created an explosion around his body. Tabuu took some damage.
"Hmm," Tabuu flashed a grin across his face. The King of Subspace whipped out his golden Chain of Light and used it to grab Sonic.
"Er, can't… move," Sonic couldn't break free. He felt the chain squeezing the soul out of him. "AHHHHHH!"
"SONIC!" everyone shouted.
"Hahahahaha! Scream some more!" Tabuu continued to strangle Sonic to death.
Sonic screamed in unbelievable pain. Lucario transformed back into his Mega Evolution. He fired a full power Mega Aura Storm at Tabuu. The God of Subspace quickly dodged the energy wave. All of a sudden, Lucas shot a PK Freeze Omega at the Chain of Light, allowing Ness to destroy the Chain with the PK Fire Omega attack.
"Oh. So that's how it's going to be then?" Tabuu had sort of a pissed off look. Tabuu proceeded to smirk seconds later. "In that case, I won't be holding back on your friend."
Tabuu vanished and reappeared in front of Sonic, striking, punching, and kicking the golden yellow hedgehog everywhere. Sonic started to bleed and feel some of his bones and muscles no longer working. When Sonic tried to punch back, Tabuu vanished, causing an explosion after that. Each time Tabuu vanished, he caused a quick explosion to weaken and murder his opponent. Sonic took damage the more times he tried to hit Tabuu.
"Dammit! That's it. I'm going up there," Mario leaped as high as he could. Tabuu reappeared in front of Mario and grabbed him by the neck.
"Farewell, Mario," Tabuu did the Explosive Teleport again, triggering another explosion. Mario fell back down hard to the floor.
"He's at his limit. His super state burns off a lot of energy, which means his life force might burn out as well," warned Bowser.
"Not if Tabuu kills him first," said Samus.
"Sonic. Get out of there! Your body can't take much more of this!" Yoshi shouted at his friend. Sonic ignored him and focused on finding Tabuu. His crazy bright ruby eyes remained sharp and deranged.
"Where are you, Tabuu?!" Sonic constantly yelled out Tabuu's name.
"So you die either way?! That's… so weak," said Tabuu.
"There you are! HAHH!" Sonic only attacked a ghost image of Tabuu.
"It was predicted that eventually, everyone would become insane and be surrounded in fear. It is good to fear me," Tabuu's condescending tone only made Sonic want to attack more. "Since you're about to die…"
Tabuu appeared right in front of Sonic and blasted him to the floor with a dark energy ball. Super Sonic's golden aura faded away as he collapsed to the floor. Tabuu suddenly reappeared in front of the rest of the Smashers.
"Yet another contender defeated," Tabuu and everyone looked at Sonic, who was back in his normal state and with the seven Chaos Emeralds that were not glowing at all. "You have no idea of what it means to fight me."
Tabuu did another Explosive Teleport, which the Smashers fatefully evaded.
Tabuu fell below to the Abyss.
The ground began to shake as well as the rest of Subspace. Tabuu reemerged as a titan, towering above the Smashers. He shone red lasers at the heroes in an attempt to kill them. It was no use to put up a fight.
"No mere creature can amount to this caliber of power. The nightmare is yet to arrive!" Tabuu said with a powerful voice. The Smashers were in a desperate and fatal situation over their certain final action, with no way out but to die.
