SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War

Chapter 47: End of Tabuu

Tabuu

The Dragon Laser fired a giant, white energy wave with brutal force. The Dragon Laser immediately reached the Smashers, causing a long-range, heavy explosion.

"ERRRRRRRRRR!" someone was holding the Dragon Laser with a move of their own.

It was Lucario, who was still in his Mega Evolution form. He struggled to hold the Dragon Laser back. He used his Final Aura Storm to counter the god's energy wave. The Dragon Laser finally pushed through and sent him back hard. Lucario returned to his normal form, bloody and bruised to his last traces of life. The Dragon Laser ceased after that.

"Hehehehehehehe! It feels so good to be above the gods!" Tabuu fired Dragon Laser again.

"No you don't!" Samus used the remaining percent of her Power Suit to fire a Reverse Zero Laser one last time.

The Reverse Zero Laser collided with the Dragon Laser. Samus couldn't keep it steady. Mario launched his Finale to push back the Dragon Laser. Ness and Lucas joined in and each performed PK Fire Omega as energy waves. Palutena also came into the struggle and fired her Divinity of Lightning. Rosalina summoned her Grand Star and threw the powerful cosmic object into the struggle. The Dragon Laser was weakening.

"Curses!" Tabuu had to hold onto the Dragon Laser.

Tabuu was on the ropes of being pushed back. Samus applied the last of her 25% into the Reverse Zero Laser. Her energy wave flashed and grew bigger. Ness and Lucas had little strength left to boost their PK Fires. Palutena continued to generate divine light beams into the struggle. Rosalina couldn't go on as well since she was weakened.

"Once my Dragon Laser gets you at full power, you'll all be sent down to the Abyss to suffer for eternity!" Tabuu's body sparked more electricity, meaning he was powering up to his maximum level.

The heroes were also at their limit, having no way to stop the Dragon Laser. Samus, Palutena, Ness, and Lucas were losing their energy. Due to the immense amounts of energy being produced from the Dragon Laser and in addition to having come from a god, the Smashers had trouble holding on. Palutena was holding off just fine. But Lucas and Ness were on the verge of collapsing because of their loss of PSI, and the extent of their health. Samus's Power Suit was at a staggering 20%. 19%. 18%. 17%. 16%. 15%.

"Ruh, I… I just can't. I'm gonna pass out," whined Lucas.

"It's too much," Ness continued to hold on.

"Oh, my. Boys! Please hang in there!" Palutena was worried for their safety.

"I will lend you my power," Rosalina was a little faint, but managed to transfer her cosmic energy into Lucas and Ness. Their PK Fire transformed into a light shade of red and golden, becoming Cosmic PK Fire.

"It's hopeless!" Tabuu increased his power.

Fox and Falco fired their blasters at Tabuu to weaken him. Pit, Link, Zelda, and Dark Pit shot their arrows. Robin had enough energy to transfer to her allies. The other Smashers sent in their own energy. Mario suddenly got up again. He was in a near critical condition, with his clothes tattered and blood all over his face. His white gloves, once painted pure, were bleeding and burning.

"You still don't get it… we're not done yet! We haven't lost hope. Because it doesn't matter what you throw at us… when we work together, everything becomes possible!" Mario spoke. "I… And I won't let you get away with this!" Mario furiously shouted and fired his Finale. His ultimate move helped push the Dragon Laser back.

10%. The Smashers had Tabuu in a difficult position. 9%. Tabuu instantly increased his true power close to his limits. 8%. The Smashers in the beam struggle were about to die if they didn't stop the Dragon Laser.

"My armor's at its last percentage," Samus exclaimed. 7%.

"Not yet. We're almost there. Don't-a let up!" Mario told everyone to continue all out. 6%.

"HahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!" Tabuu's Dragon Laser roared and ripped the fabric of Subspace itself.

"AHHHHHHH!" Ness, Lucas, Palutena, Samus, and Mario pushed hard against the unbeatable Dragon Laser. 5%.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tabuu's laughs cracked.

All of a sudden, a dark blue energy wave shot Tabuu from behind. Tabuu instantly turned his head around in frustrated rage. It was Lucario, who was panting heavily and tired.

"You?!" yelled out a frustrated Tabuu.

"[panting] That [panting] was for you from me," Lucario's last words before collapsing.

"NOW!" Mario told everyone.

Samus, Lucas, Ness, Palutena, and Mario all fired their ultimate energy wave and destroyed the Dragon Laser completely. Tabuu turned back and tried to hold the energy wave with his hands. The God of Subspace felt the sensation of stronger energy pressing against his palms.

"[hisses] No… NOOOOOOOOooooooo!" Tabuu was consumed by the ultimate energy wave and resulted in a tremendous explosion of darkness and light. Subspace exploded as Tabuu disappeared into nothingness.

"Did we?... Win?" said Bowser.

"Heh… heh heh! We did it!" Samus smiled.

"And to think fighting someone like that required the likes of a goddess. Wow!" said Palutena boldly.

"Alright!" Ness gestured a peace sign.

"Yep!" Lucas brushed his blonde hair back.

"Aw, we couldn't have done it without you two," Palutena said to the boys. Unlike Ness, Lucas blushed deep red at the green haired goddess as she smiled at him gracefully. The Smashers shared a short laughter.

"Snake!" Samus raced to Snake and hugged him tightly. "We did it!" But to Snake, he stared blankly at where Tabuu used to stand. Samus questioned him. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"...Tabuu. The bastard's still alive. I can tell the difference between when they stay dead versus when they don't," Snake told her. Samus's blue eyes widened in fear.

"He's right. That couldn't have killed him. We were at our limit and we still couldn't push forward until Lucario distracted him," Mario explained.

"Puyo!" Kirby drew everyone's attention and alerted him of Tabuu's presence.

"Be on guard!" warned Metal Knight who also sensed Tabuu.

"That can't be?! Where is—" Samus's body stood in fear as she saw the greatly weakened Tabuu. Tabuu's body was covered in ash marks. His aura sparked millions of electric volts of light purple, pink, and green. Rage itself.

"I have finally reached 100% of my true power, thanks to you! This is it! This is your divine wrath!" Tabuu at 100% appeared out of nowhere and his unlimited amounts of godly power scared the Smashers.

"ULTIMATE MOVE: APOCALYPTIC ARMAGEDDON!" Tabuu released the most unbearable and destructive electric shockwave.

"ERRRRRRRR,DDAAHHHHHHH!" the Apocalyptic Armageddon raged across Subspace that it actually ripped its literal fabric, creating interdimensional tears and cracks and revealing shining white light.

All of the Smashers were in no condition to fight on, but for some reason, they were breathing and living. Mario was able to still stand. Tabuu became more infuriated by this. Mario took a fighting pose and glared at the God of Subspace.

"You dare subvert me?" Tabuu teleported to Mario and tried to slice him clean.

That's when Kirby flew in and parried the attack with his own blade. "What?!"

Kirby and Tabuu clashed weapons at full power. Tabuu repeatedly slashed away and knocked the pink puffball away. Meta Knight came in as soon as Kirby was slashed away. Meta Knight and Tabuu chained attacks at the same pace.

"Begone!" Tabuu smashed Meta Knight's mask off, showing off his dark blue face and amber yellow eyes, bearing a striking resemblance to the pink puffball

Tabuu slashed away at Meta Knight. Kirby returned to attack Tabuu, but had not enough strength to do anything. Tabuu continuously slashed at Kirby, further straining him. Kirby concentrated on increasing his own potential.

He placed the last of his power into his blade, causing it to increase in size. Kirby charged at Tabuu and stabbed him in his glowing chest. Tabuu hissed in pain and drove the blade out from him.

Kirby consecutively sliced Tabuu. Kirby sliced him from right to left and back. Tabuu used Explosive Teleport and appeared right in back of Kirby.

"Step out of the light!" Tabuu was going to end Kirby's life when Mario shot a charged fireball at him.

"[panting] Tabuu! This is where we end it!" Mario yelled and charged straight for the god.

"EEERRRRRAAHHHHAAAHHH!" Tabuu instantly appeared at Mario and struck him with a series of punches and kicks. Tabuu's voice was cracking as he reached his own limits.

"This is where I END IT!" Tabuu went for a final blow and broke Mario's left arm and kicked him aside.

"PUYO! HAHHHHHHHH!" Kirby had one last move; the legendary Dragoon. He went for Tabuu at unrelenting speeds on the Dragoon.

Using his giant blade, Kirby charged straight for Tabuu's heart in a beating flash. A visible, golden sword slash cut through Subspace. Tabuu's body was breaking apart and showing golden cuts all over him. Kirby's Dragoon disintegrated in the process of piercing the almighty Lord of Subspace.

"Y-YOU WORMS… WILL DIE!... DESPAIR… D-D-DISAPPEAR!..." Tabuu's body distorted.

Mario, with his one arm, fired his Ultimate Finale in one go.

Mario used all his energy to blast his final fire energy wave, the One-Handed Mario Finale.

"NNEERRRAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Tabuu's body was engulfed in the fires and felt nothing after that. Tabuu's body created a godly light as he slowly disappeared forever. Tabuu thought to himself, but at the same time, the Smashers were able to hear him as he spoke to them telepathically.

"Is this it? If so, where am I to exist? I can no longer feel anything. Neither pain nor victory. I, the creator and destroyer of this dimension, having my existence erased by these wretched fools. I had predicted my end to a being that rivals me. Perhaps. Predictions are meant to be false in the spirit of revelation. Wait? Spirit! These heroes… spirit. Spirit. Spirit! It's what they had all along that kept them alive. Even though I broke them. They survived for each other and for the sake of their world. This was the first time in my existence where that has interested me. A team of warriors defying the graces of divinity and killing me. My life draws near. As I depart. To you Smashers, I-I… thank you…"

Tabuu the King of Subspace finally disappeared out of a living state. The dimension of Subspace itself faded in the process, becoming more bright than ever. The Great Maze broke apart and also vanished. Subspace was no longer a reality. The Smashers rested as they stared at the sunset and watched as the light cross of the skies appeared before them.

If I had a mind to

I wouldn't want to think like you

And if I had time to

I wouldn't want to talk to you

(Whoa, oh, ooh)

I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you, yeaah

If I was high class

And if I was a fall guy

I wouldn't need no alibi…

I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you

Back on the bottom line

Diggin' for a lousy dime

If I hit a mother lode

I'd cover anything that showed

(Whoa, ooh, whoa)

I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you

I don't care

What you do…

I wouldn't wanna

I wouldn't want to be like you

I wouldn't want to be like you

(Yeah, oh)

(Yeah, ooooh)
