SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War

Chapter 50: This Is It

Smash Palace

The Smashers slowly awaited for the final moments until they were ready to go to the repeater tower and wipe out the nanite threat for good. Everyone had to prepare for the last day. They trained for around a week, armed themselves with every available weapon and tool needed, and conversed for a last minute talk.

Mario washed, rinsed, and dry cleaned his signature overalls and polished his white gloves. He was currently looking for his red cap. He had an angry and serious look on his face; the kind when he's lost his beloved girlfriend and a good friend. He hated Fox for snatching Peach from him, and all he desired was having Peach back. He didn't care about what would happen to him. He went in search of her, who happened to be with Fox at the time. His blood boiled at the sight of them pressing heads together.

"I promise if it's my last day together, then I would spend it with you," Fox told her in a romantic voice.

"Fox… I wouldn't have it any other way," Peach leaned for a kiss.

Their lips pressed and moved around for ten seconds; Mario thought it felt like forever. The Italian plumber stomped over to them and was ready to fight Fox. His mentality was to fight back his love without giving a second thought.

"Hey! Manda la mia donna! (Hands off my woman!)," Mario shouted.

"Aw geez! Not this again Mario! I don't want to fight you. I thought you'd be over this," argued Fox.

"I'm not. I thought you were my friend," Mario stared at his former ally and second-in-command.

"I thought so too," Fox didn't pull his blaster out. Even though he had to defend himself, he couldn't bring himself to pull a gun on his friend.

"We fought together as rebels. As brothers and this is where it ends," Mario and Fox kicked each other at the same time.

"I didn't mean to take Peach away from you. You drove her away!" Fox elbowed Mario in the face. Mario clenched his right fist and punched the anthro fox in the gut. Fox returned the favor.

"Because I cared about her safety! I had to keep Peach safe by leaving her!" said Mario. Fox and Peach's eyes widened.

"Mario…" Peach whispered. She wanted to stop the fight now, but it was going somewhere.

"I only wanted to be there as a friend, and it was the moment where me and Peach developed romantic feelings. When I was down and lost, you helped me regain my confidence and grow stronger," Fox didn't want to fight Mario anymore.

"When you and Peach became a couple, I thought I was losing my friend too," Mario and Fox finally stopped fighting.

"I'm sorry… for stealing her from you," Fox apologized and turned his head away.

"No. I'm sorry for my jealousy. I've let personal feelings get in the way of the mission," Mario felt guilty.

Fox said nothing else. Peach walked over to them and grabbed Mario.

"Peach?! I…" Peach interrupted Mario.

"No. Mario. It's fine. I forgive you. But listen: what you've done. It's something I won't ever forget. You've done so much just so I could be safe. I'm sorry too. I still hope you can accept this," Peach told him. Mario smiled.

"I know you're with someone who'll treat you as good as I did. I needed to get this off my conscience. Missing you was something that was in my mind. I'm just glad you're going to be alright. There'll always be someone for me along the way," said Mario.

"Thank you… Mario," Peach embraced Mario for a special hug. Fox smiled under his muzzle as he rekindled his friendship with Mario. The plumber left the couple and returned to his room to continue his training.

"I'm glad it worked out in the end," Peach hugged Fox.

"Yeah. This time though, we're stronger than ever," Fox told her. The princess held his furred hand as they walked away.

ooo

Meanwhile, Samus and Snake were training by fighting each other. Samus was especially impressed that a regular human could keep up with a half Chozo alien half human like her. Every direct move she made was met with a counterattack. She kicked and he dodged. Both eventually tired out and called in a draw. After training, the two headed into a weapons room. Samus continued on rebuilding and rebooting her Power Suit from the war in Subspace. Snake upgraded his weapons so they fire longer, inflict more damage, and have more range.

"So Snake… you never told me what you would do after we stop Master Hand and Crazy Hand from taking over the World," Samus started the conversation.

"I would return home, wherever that is," said Snake.

"You mean the battlefield of espionage?" she poked some fun.

"Yes," Snake spoke with humor in return.

"How about staying with us? You seem to enjoy it here, you know if you don't mind the mind-controlling zombies and aliens from another dimension," Samus said with a smile.

"Heh, that's how my life is back home, maybe not with aliens," Snake let out a small laugh. Samus and Snake laughed together.

"What about the people there? You have anyone that you… care about?" asked Samus. She began to act nervous.

"I mean, there are some people, but we're not normal friends. There was someone… she was my boss's daughter, but things went flat from that point," told Snake.

"But I didn't ask you… I mean that's… well, bad," Samus was trying to be nice, but she was a little upset at the same time.

"I should get going," Snake moved away from Samus, prompting her to grab his arm.

"Don't go. I didn't mean to get you upset," said Samus.

"Why do you want me to stay anyway?" Snake turned to face Samus.

"Because… because of this!" Samus suddenly kissed Snake, surprising him. They kissed for a good amount of seconds. Snake gently pushed away from her.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Snake cracked a smile. The kind that made Samus blush.

"I've never met someone like you. And curiosity got the best of me, and now I'm here kissing you," Samus blushed a little more. "Also, I'm bad with romance."

"Heh, me neither. You're the kind of woman I've been looking for: sexy, strong, and the know-how of using weapons," Snake kissed Samus back. They both fell back and continued to lock lips and moan.

ooo

Wolf was outside on the balcony smoking a cigarette. It was bad for his health, but he didn't care. He huffed out the smoke and coughed loudly. He put the blunt back in his mouth. Then, an innocent white hand snatched the cigarette and threw it away. It was Rosalina's hand.

"You know it's bad for you," Rosalina told him. Wolf innocently reached into his pocket and pulled a pack of cigs to smoke another blunt. Rosalina snatched the whole pack and threw it away as well.

"I used to smoke too you know, in times of leisure or depression," Rosalina told him.

"Hmph. That's nice. Next you'll be telling me you're a space pirate," Wolf stated with sarcasm.

"What's been troubling you? You only ever smoke if there's something else on your mind," Rosalina knew it was something else.

"My life," Wolf told her.

"What do you mean your life?" she asked him.

"...Loneliness," Wolf revealed. "Sure I have power, wealth, and everything, but it's all meaningless."

"I was once alone until I met the Lumas and became their mother. Even though I have them and hold the task of watching over the cosmos, I still feel empty," Rosalina said with sadness.

"I never had a family before. I don't like to talk about it. It's all a shitty memory to me now," confessed Wolf. He looked away from Rosalina as a sign of sadness.

"Is that why you act cold and rude sometimes?" Rosalina questioned. Wolf turned to her again.

"...Yes," Wolf wanted to say nothing else.

"What about me? Why were you attracted to me the first time we met?" she questioned him out in the blue.

"Is she serious? Straight to the point too," the mercenary looked dumbfounded. "I wasn't. I was flirting just to arouse you," he stated.

"What do you mean by 'arouse'? Were you thinking that you could attract me?" the princess further questioned.

"Uh, sure," it was this point that he was starting to blush.

"Well, you are handsome and sweet. And I've seen the real you. You act like this careless monster to others. But you're really someone who understands me," she spoke.

Rosalina and Wolf blushed deeply. Their eyes couldn't look away from each other.

"Aside from that, why else did you flirt with me?" she asked again.

"I saw you as a prize. An object I could get because I can. But after you pretty much yelled at my face, slammed me into a tree, and saved my life, I felt something else. For the first time in my life, I felt… happy. As if my life has meaning once again," revealed Wolf.

Rosalina blushed; her snow-white face became red. "What does all this mean?"

"This," Wolf told her. Her bright blue eyes lit up as he passionately kissed her on the lips. She returned the favor as they were pressing their mouths against each other, and not letting go. He grabbed her butt and she grabbed his. He slowly began to undo her dress, but she stopped him.

"Oh my, Wolf," she slapped him.

"Heh, sorry about that. I was getting carried away—" Wolf smirked. Rosalina interrupted him by placing her index finger on Wolf's mouth.

"Maybe another time," she smirked right back at him. Wolf wagged his tail in response.

ooo

Lucario and Greninja were busy training as Lucario was pushing Greninja to reach the awoken state. Palutena peeped inside and greeted them. They halted their training.

"Lucario, there you are! Wow, it's hard to find you these days. You're on top of the palace the first day, the mountains to meditate the next. It's like I can never seem to get to you," said Palutena while chuckling.

"I am quite busy these days after all. What do you need?" Lucario replied.

"I just wanted to thank you when you saved me from Mewtwo and Tabuu. Back there, you were incredible. It was like you were a god yourself," Palutena managed to hug Lucario before he had time to react. Lucario had not expected that.

"Of course. You're a true friend of mine. You are eccentric, but that makes up part of your caring nature," Lucario told her.

"Aw, shucks! So what are you guys up to this time?" Palutena smiled.

"I'm training Greninja to achieve his mega evolved state. It's difficult, but we've been through worse spots before. There's nothing we can't handle," Lucario proclaimed.

"Well good luck. I wish Dark Pit and Pit worked as hard as you two do. Then they would get stronger themselves," Palutena walked away.

"Let us continue," Greninja attacked Lucario once more. Lucario quickly transformed into his mega evolved form and took on Greninja in order for Greninja to get a sense of fighting a mega evolved Pokémon.

ooo

Dark Pit was busy sharpening his dual bladed staff when Lucina walked in to say hi.

"[sigh] What now, mortal woman? All of the fools here, you're the most persistent against me," Dark Pit argued.

"I dropped in to sharpen my blade. Nothing more," Lucina told him.

"Good," Dark Pit paid no mind to her.

"What did you think I was here for?" Lucina asked.

"To confess your love to me?" Dark Pit told her off.

"Oh… well, it is our last mission together so I suppose I should—" she told him while blushing a bit.

"Hahahahaha! Because that would be ridiculous," Dark Pit laughed as he interrupted her.

"Dark Pit?" Lucina stared at the floor.

"What is it now?" as he was about to turn around, she slapped him in the face.

Dark Pit fell to the floor. "Hmph! I guess since I'm not going to confess, then I'll just treat you as my enemy when this is all done," Lucina stomped on him.

"Hahahaha. That's what you get, Pitto. You should never hurt a lady's feelings," Pit chuckled.

"Ahh! Ahh! Get off of me or so help me—" Dark Pit tried to threaten her as he was getting stomped.

"Oh really? You'll do what? Trying to break a warrior's heart is something you shouldn't be doing," Lucina got off of him.

"Tch!" Dark Pit scoffed at her.

"I guess I'm not wanted here. I'll go elsewhere now," Lucina finished polishing her sword and went away fast.

"That human… she will pay," Dark Pit was not happy in the slightest.

"You sure that'll guarantee you a date?" Pit let out a short laugh.

"Don't test me, Pit-one. I care little for romance. The only romance I partake is in the glory of victory," said Dark Pit. Pit looked poker-faced.

"Okay. Have fun basking in glory," Pit ignored Dark Pit.

"You just keep your head where it stays," Dark Pit told Pit to go away. Pit shrugged as he quietly left.

ooo

Sonic, elsewhere, was slouching on a chair and thinking about his own failure. When he finally had Tabuu by the ropes, he still couldn't stand a chance. Even Super Sonic couldn't beat Tabuu back. He didn't have the spirit to move around anymore. He thought to himself.

"Why did it have to come to this? I thought Super Sonic was supposed to be all mighty. But even that failed. I guess I'm just weak all the way," Sonic thought. Yoshi went to see what was bothering him.

"Hey. Don't beat yourself up. You still have an opportunity to fight with us," said Yoshi.

"I don't know about that. I failed. I thought I had Tabuu defeated, but he was just messing with me. Now I know what it feels like to be on the other side of saving the world," told Sonic.

"Hey, you just let your guard down and allowed him to crush your spirit. But it's up to you to fix it. Are you going to let failure crush you, Sonic? Don't give in when you have a chance to learn more," Yoshi spoke before leaving. Sonic felt the urge to get off his seat.

"He's right. It's not over yet. I can do this!" Sonic said to himself. "I can do this!"

ooo

Ness and Lucas were practicing in perfecting their PSI techniques to levels that ascend even the might of Tabuu. Ness and Lucas fought at tremendous speeds and fired psionic attacks at each other.

"Did you see how powerful Kirby was when he slashed through Tabuu like that? Can we tap into energy as high as that?" Ness was astonished when Kirby was able to break through Tabuu's skin.

"I think we can do it. I want to get stronger. And I want to help you guys save the World again," Lucas had hoped.

The boys continued to fight for relentless amounts of hours. Once they finally stopped, Ness and Lucas fell to the ground and took a breather.

"[panting] I wonder if I can go home after this," Lucas wondered.

"[panting] Maybe. Anything is possible," Ness answered.

Palutena came to check up on the boys when she noticed their powers spiking to higher levels than before. She smiled at the boys, causing them to stand up and blush at her gaze.

"Hey, cuties! I noticed your increase in power and I was wondering if you could show me your progress," Palutena winked at them.

"Oh, um… sure, Miss Palutena," Lucas was beet red.

Lucas wasn't used to interacting with someone like Palutena, the Goddess of Light. Lucas tapped into the last ounce of PSI he had and fired a PK Fire Omega into the air. The PK Fire exploded in a furious rage that nearly covered the entire palace.

"Whoa!" Palutena placed her shaded glasses on in astonishment.

"[breathing] Wow, who knew I could do that?!" Lucas's arms were limp. Palutena positioned her glasses and stared at Lucas with interest. He began to blush more.

"Relax, kiddo. That was amazing! I wish I could do something like that," the green haired goddess told the young boy.

"Wow, thanks," Lucas couldn't stop being red.

"What about you, cutie?" Palutena called to Ness.

Ness wasn't much as red as Lucas, but the powerful gaze from Palutena was enough to put him under submission. Ness shot a deadly PK Flash. The resulting explosion was light green and blue which was larger than the entire palace. Ness used up the rest of his PSI.

"We can win for sure!" Palutena had confidence.

ooo

Smash Palace Briefing

"Alright. Be ready in one hour. We're taking the Halberd to our final battle. Here's how we're going to play it out: we fight our way across the snow and infiltrate a way inside the repeater tower. Once inside, we head all the way to the top and send the signal, which should shut off the nanites completely, rendering the Collective useless," Bowser explained.

"Be careful out there everyone. Even if you felt beat up the last time, keep moving forward and pushing. As so long as you're with us, you're already strong," spoke Samus.

"It's a life or death situation. But we decide if it's life today," said Lucario.

"I know we've all had our moments. We made mistakes we're not proud of. We let this happen because we were fighting amongst ourselves instead of a greater cause. Now we're here to change that on this day," Mario stated before everyone dispersed to get ready. "Now. Let's-a go for it!"

ooo

Mario tightened his gloves and placed his signature red cap on his brown hair. He placed on his elemental resistant overalls and athletic brown boots. His brother Luigi was sporting the same style, except in green.

"You ready, brother?" Mario asked his younger, taller brother.

"I am," Luigi was still nervous as ever but was confident.

"Good to hear. I'll always be proud of you, little bro," Mario hugged him.

Yoshi carried a pouch of weapons and ammunition when available.

Sonic had an empty brown bag and tied it around his waist. The blue hedgehog patiently waited for the time to pass by. He found the spirit he needed to regain his own confidence back.

Zelda carried an assortment of arrows. On the other side, her lover Link wore a blue scarf around his neck and tied his hands and bicep in blue cloth. He held the Triforce Sword with his hands. Zelda comforted him. Link spoke to her.

"I intend to kill Ganon," said Link. Zelda became shocked when he spoke. This time, she was almost mute at what he was talking about.

"You're not alone in this, Link. Remember that," she stated.

Ike placed an extra set of armor on his body and had a much larger blade. Marth placed on his military-themed royal suit; dark blue with a thick layer of armor. Lucina wore a royal suit similar to Marth. As did Robin. Roy also had an extra piece of red armor stored for himself.

Samus was busy with the finishing touches on her Power Suit. It looked brand new and remastered. She stepped into her suit and powered it on. She had made sure to have two reserve tanks instead of one. Snake strapped up with dozens of firearms, both outside and concealed. He had on a dark gray military garb and a belt containing military gear. He had shoulder straps of ammunition.

"Geez, we're not going to an actual battleground, but I like the enthusiasm," Samus laughed at him.

"Hmph, funny. We actually are," Snake laughed as well.

"Oh, right. Let's keep each other's heads, okay?" Samus scratched her head.

Peach had her hair tied back in a ponytail. And sported a pink sports battlesuit.

As for Fox, he chose to wear a sleeveless gray vest, lime green pants, and white combat boots. Fox had blasters tucked to one side of his vest and smart bombs on his belt.

"We'll save the World again," Fox's fuzzy paws held onto Peach's wrists.

"...Yes! And hopefully, it's for good this time," Peach nodded. They also left for the Halberd.

Lucario tied an old red cloth around his forehead and had armored padding attached to him for a boost in power. And a red scarf to his neck.

He looked at Greninja, who looked at the floor, in a sad mood.

"Do not look down upon yourself. You must push certain stones to unlock your mega evolution," said Lucario.

"I will unlock it soon enough," spoke Greninja. The two Pokémon headed off to the ship in haste.

Dark Pit chose to wear iron-plated armor, a crimson red and black toga and a dark dual bladed staff/bow.

Pit had special gold armor that was gifted to him by Palutena. He carried around a light double-bladed bow staff.

"Let's do this, Pitto!" Pit shook Dark Pit.

"I hope I don't see you asswipes after this," Dark Pit replied.

Palutena herself changed her appearance by showing off some skin and removing some items weighing her down. She had the same clothing, except this time, she had on high heeled sandals and carried a golden staff of light.

"Honestly, you two are half-assed. You guys can't even work as a team. That's why those esper boys are stronger than the both of you," Palutena interrupted them and walked away. The two angels stared at each other and frowned. "Now… let's get going!"

Wolf went for a dark grey sleeveless vest fitted with most of his firearms, including a rifle on his back. He had reflectors and smart bombs on his belt. He wore urban camo cargo pants and black military boots. He also had a red bandana on to complete his look.

"Hmph. Not bad," Wolf gave a grin to himself.

Rosalina walked in and had a new fashion as well. She wore a light blue battlesuit. She had her trusted wand and gleamed a warm smile.

She directed her attention to the mechnical eye patch on Wolf's left eye. She proceeded to carefully take it off. Wolf reluctantly allowed her to remove it, even though he wanted to stop her. The wolf mercenary's left eye was left exposed. Through his left eye ran a deep scar. The eye itself was blind.

"You don't have to hide it. Who did this to you?" she was concerned.

"...My father," said Wolf, showing no sign of emotion.

"I can heal you," Rosalina placed her hand on Wolf's blind eye, but he grunted away. He placed back the eyepatch.

"Let's get going," Wolf told her. Rosalina held onto Wolf's furred hand as they walked to the ship.

Bowser dressed in the old battle suit that he wore in the Subspace Negative Facility to save the Smashers and lead the escape. His threw his helmet to the ground and went to the Halberd to join the others. He had a scowl and snarling look on his face.

ooo

The Halberd

The Smashers lined up and went inside the newly repaired Halberd. Meta Knight steered the ship and ascended to the skies.

The heroes said not one word during the flight. Everyone was deep in thought. No one said anything to each other. Then, Sonic broke the silence.

"[whistles] It's really silent today, huh?" Sonic was starting a conversation.

"Usually when you know when the whole world is at stake and the one mission that matters has to be done, you stay silent with the group," said Snake.

"Is… is anyone, you know… scared?" Peach raised a hand.

"All of us are. I can tell from the aura," told Lucario.

"But as long as we're scared together, we'll bring each other up," Samus spoke.

"We'll win like we always do," Mario balled his right fist. Everyone nodded in agreement.

As the Smashers closed in on the nanite repeater tower, they patiently waited for the fight of their lives. Time was limited, and the moment to act was now or never.
