SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 52: Warp Zone
Warp Zone 1
Collective Repeater Tower
Previously on Super Smash Bros. Civil War, the Smasher heroes were, at last, able to land onto an island in the north, where the heavily fortified nanite tower was located. They fought on the glaciers, the beach, the forest, and through a polar cap of snow in order to reach the entrance of the tower itself.
The tower inside was fairly dim and had ice everywhere as walls, floors, and basic structure was covered in sheer amounts of ice. The rest was just metal. As they walked throughout the first floor of the tower, they looked for a way to the next floor. Warping pads were set around everywhere. The warp zones were glowing stepping stones that transport anything to a randomly designated warp pad. Perhaps hundreds were set around to confuse any trespassers from determining the exact location. One warp zone could take them several stories up and another could take them several stories down. The Smashers looked around in each of the warp pads and had no such luck.
"Let's keep on..." Mario was interrupted by new nanites that just appeared from the warp zones. "...moving."
These nanites, or Nanite Nukers, were abruptly faster but weaker in strength. They had strings on their heads and tendrils on their backs, all in scarlet armor wear. The regular nanite soldiers accompanied them. Marth, Lucina, Roy, and Ike unsheathed their swords as the rest of the Smashers took down most of the invading nanites. Ike thrashed at a group of Nanite Nukers. Marth incidentally stabbed through a couple of them. Lucina sliced at another group of them. Lastly, Roy burned through the nanite armor like lava and melted it.
"We can't split up, so we'll have to go in the warp pads as one," Bowser suggested.
"That's all we've got for now," said Mario.
All of the Smashers crowded into one warp zone and instantly teleported to another one. Then, another horde of regular nanites and Nukers arrived. Palutena used her staff and whipped out a divine flash of light. Lucas and Ness froze them with PK Freeze. Snake wiped the floor with the enemy using his rocket launcher.
"Alright. Let's head to another warping pad," Bowser signaled to go to the warp zone he was pointing at.
The Smashers teleported to the next room; Nanite Nukers closed in and blocked the rest of the warp zones, a subtle ploy to confuse the heroes. Kamek then appeared.
"Enjoying the inside? Have fun with my Nukers," he led a team of Nukers and ordered them to attack. Lucas attempted to catch him by ascending upwards. Lucas utilized the Rope Snake and it clung onto one of the wings. Ness went after them as well.
"Boys, wait!" shouted Palutena.
A Nuker was about to strike at Lucina until Dark Pit shot it down with an arrow. "No need to thank me, mortal," he eyed her.
"Hmph!" Lucina stomped the floor, but continued on with the fighting.
The Nukers drove them to a wall. Luckily, Marth and Ike took them all down with a range of counter breaking sword attacks. Combining their strengths, Ike and Marth each took turns in slashing away in a repeated frenzy. Reinforcements came forward through a hidden wall gate.
"Quick, let's go after them!" Palutena and the angels flew upwards.
"Palutena, wait! Argh, we can't afford to split up," Lucario attempted to stop her.
"Hate to say it, but we can't waste time. They'll find us," Samus told him.
The Smashers moved on to find another warp pad. They were hopeful in finding the right pad that leads them further up the tower a few floors up. Once the warp pad started flashing, everyone crossed thought in mind of making it far.

Warp Zone 2
Collective Repeater Tower
Something that astonished them was that the warping pad took them a few stories above the first floor. For some reason, there appeared to be fewer warp zones available. There were definitely more enemies though. As the Smashers traversed carefully over the half-metal, half-icy floor, a couple of nanite soldiers were activating giant mechanical beasts almost twice the size of Bowser; Nanite Juggernauts for the simple term. Nanite Nukers showed up as well, and together with the Nanite Juggernauts, they blocked any continuation.
"A-Bowser? Donkey Kong? Dedede? I think it's your go," informed Mario.
"No problem," Bowser sharpened his claws. He signaled for Donkey Kong and King Dedede to join forces as a trio against the Juggernauts in particular.
The three muscles charged forward and took down each of the Juggernauts. Lucario and Greninja hitched a ride behind Bowser and struck down the Nukers that tried to interfere in the fight. Bowser tore the limbs off of one of the Juggernauts. Donkey Kong hulk smashed the Juggernauts to pieces. And, King Dedede whipped out his hammer of pain and hammered away at every last Juggernaut.
"Haha. Take that!" King Dedede stomped away at the broken Juggernaut.
"That's it!" Bowser instructed everyone to continue on.
As soon as they reached a different path, the way in was sealed shut by a wall door. Nukers slid from above the icy walls and prepared to attack. Regular nanite soldiers arrived and were ready to attack. But for Lucina and Robin, they managed to put down as many Nukers as they could. Then, Roy went to finish the job by burning out the rest.
"Here's another warp zone. Let's take it," suggested Peach.
Everyone crowded onto the pad and teleported to yet another part of the tower, but a few floors below now. They went to look for another pad that could lead them back up. They crossed a nearby bridge on the side of the wall. As they were crossing, they heard a string of explosions followed by a child shouting.
"PK FIRE!" Lucas fired at Kamek as he was still in pursuit of him.
Ness flew up using his psionic power and tried to shoot a PK Fire to halt Kamek. He deflected the attack, hitting Ness back. Palutena caught him in time. Together, they flew up forwards.
Soon, more Nukers and Juggernauts arrived at the bridge. Bowser and Donkey Kong tag teamed and took out the Juggernauts one by one. The rest dealt with the Nukers and threw them down the bridge. The Smashers pressed forward and came up to the next warp zone. This time, they were a couple of stories up; nanite soldiers were waiting and carrying arms.
"More of them?!" said Mario. The Smashers just went forward to crush their opponents.
Somewhere several stories above, Lucas finished the chase when the Rope Snake grabbed onto Kamek and started to bring him down. They both crashed on one of the floors. Lucas paid no attention to when Ness, Palutena, and the other two angels waltzed into his aid.
"PK FIRE!" Lucas used PK Fire Omega, only for Kamek to deflect it. Lucas absorbed his own deflected attack.
"You stubborn brat. Die!" Kamek fired an electrical wave; Lucas quickly dodged.
"PK FREEZE!" Lucas used his PK Freeze Omega to freeze him.
"Lucas!" Ness went in and intervened. Just as Meta Kamek broke out, Ness tripped him with his baseball bat and whacked him several times.
"Don't play with electricity!" Kamek managed to shoot an electrical current straight at Ness's chest. Ness went down.
"Ness!" Lucas shouted.
Lucas wasn't fast enough to dodge an electrical strike. Lucas was only able to absorb the attack, but fell down as well.
"NO!" Palutena had welts of tears after what she just witnessed. The green haired goddess immediately blasted Meta Kamek with a light bending energy wave.
"AHHH! It's not so easy dealing with you," Meta Kamek got frustrated.
Palutena marked up the mechanical monstrosity and used a Divine Arrow. Once she shot it with full force, Meta Kamek barely grazed it. Divine Arrow created a huge hole in the wall.
"This isn't over," Meta Kamek took off in haste.
"Oh, boys! Are you okay?" Palutena carried them safely.
The two Pits watched as Palutena healed them. Pit had a short brief flashback of when he first met the green-eyed goddess when he was a kid. He smiled for a tiny moment. Dark Pit eyed him and shone a glare.
"And what are you smiling about?" the archangel asked.
"I remember when Lady Palutena used to nurse me," Pit told him.
"Hmph, get your head in the game," Dark Pit pouted and crossed his arms.
After she healed the boys, Palutena hugged them both tight. Lucas was happy to be alright but was feeling more than just Palutena's hug. Same went for Ness.
"We're okay thanks to you haha," Ness smiled.
"Thank you," Lucas politely said.

Warp Zone 3
Collective Repeater Tower
After successfully taking down the assigned nanite troops, the Smashers moved on to the next warp zone, which transported them a couple stories up. As soon as the Smashers moved on, more nanites came along to disrupt their path. Skinny versions of nanite soldiers, also called Nanite Skitters, arrived. They wore high tech weak battle suits and crawled on the floor like animals. Also, a new breed of the Collective Army, Nanite Derringers, also emerged. They were a lot more buff and bore twice the standing defense of Skitters. Both Skitters and Derringers were in a position to attack.
"Keep on destroying every last one of them!" Mario instructed.
As presented, the remaining Smashers tackled and disabled as many Skitters and Derringers. Then, Nukers and Juggernauts stormed in and entered the fight as well. They were all equipped with the same armor and weapons; but, the Smashers had the advantage regardless.
"Hmph, I guess smashing is all we're good for," said Yoshi as everyone finished the full long battle.
The rest of the Smashers finally caught up to the others.
"Perfect timing," Mario stated.
"I'd hate to interrupt this reunion, but time is up!" it was none other than…
"Pokey?!" Ness looked surprised.
"Yes, Ness. Hahahahahaha! I have returned once again!" Porky had a devilish smile.
"Hehehehehe, I had to get some assistance," Meta Kamek stormed in through a volt of electricity.
"I AM NOT YOUR ASSISTANT!... Nevermind. LET THE FUN BEGIN!" Porky commenced the battle.
Lucas and Ness faced the spider mech head to head. Lucario went to join them but was stopped by Meta Kamek.
"Not so fast. You'll have to get past me first," Meta Kamek had his arms far apart to pause them.
"This won't take long," Lucario replied.
"As for the rest of you Smashers, how about more nanites?" Meta Kamek ordered an army of nanites to come whilst he and Lucario fought.
Porky was protected by a PK power shield, so all attacks were useless. Porky pushed the psychic boys back. Palutena used her divine staff to render the shield and destroy it. The boys all shot a PK Fire simultaneously. Porky took minimal damage. Porky discharged a ball of plasma energy and shot it at Lucas. Ness then fired his signature PK Rockin' technique. The spider mech took damage, but it was not ready to give out.
"I'M JUST WARMING UP! THAT'S ALL!" Porky became more serious, a bluff.

Exterior of the Tower
Collective Repeater Tower
Lucario transformed into Mega Lucario and began fighting Meta Kamek. They were on par with each other. Even though Meta Kamek is supposed to be faster, Lucario can practically keep up. They took their fight outside. Greninja snuck away from the battle with the others to help Lucario fight Meta Kamek.
Lucario fired a fast charged Aura Sphere. Meta Kamek dodged it and fired a streak of lightning. Lucario was hit but recovered quickly. Meta Kamek flashed a grand wave of electricity, and Lucario countered it with a Mega Aura Storm. Both energy waves canceled out. Meta Kamek and Lucario went to clash fist by fist. They were moving so fast for even Greninja.
It appeared to be just streaks of light colliding with each other and bouncing back and repeating. The two finally stopped. Lucario was perched on the side of the tower while Meta Kamek hovered in front of him.
"I should warn you. I've been holding back," said Meta Kamek.
"You're bluffing," Lucario shot back.
"Oh quite the opposite," Meta Kamek increased his speed.
Mega Lucario did the same by increasing his speed. However, Meta Kamek's electric power gave him a boost in speed and transparency. He couldn't be touched as much as seen. Meta Kamek fired an array of lightning bolts, injuring Mega Lucario. As for Lucario, he couldn't increase his speed any further.
"I'm in no position to boost my strength. If I go into a buff state, then catching him will be next to impossible," Lucario thought.
Greninja leaped in to challenge Meta Kamek and save Mega Lucario. Greninja tried to throw a water shuriken, but could not see him. Meta Kamek struck Lucario with a stream of lightning. Greninja stepped in and attempted to directly hit Meta Kamek, but he already moved away.
"You're next on the list, froggie!" Meta Kamek proclaimed.
Greninja had little time to react as he was shocked by one of Meta Kamek's volts. Meta Kamek proceeded to do a barrage of electric hits. Greninja was repeatedly pummeled. He had no way of catching up, let alone try to counterattack. The next attacks were harder to dodge.
"Ahahahaha! What can you do?" Meta Kamek cackled.
"He's right. What can I do? If only I obtained my Mega Evolution, only then…" Greninja thought.
"What makes you think you can keep up! I am not just a being with power! I AM POWER!" Meta Kamek yelled.
"He's right. I am unable to stop him this way," Greninja thought as he was repeatedly attacked by Meta Kamek's streaks of lightning.
"AHAHAHAHA! I have evolved into an entirely new species apart from the Magikoopa. Evolution was the key to realizing my true power, do you understand me?" Meta Kamek increased his power further.
"He's right… If he can evolve, then so can I," Greninja meditated mid-battle to channel in his own power.
The Ninja Pokémon tapped into his potential and, without warning, started to transform. His body was glowing blue, which even surprised Kamek. Greninja was evolving into his Mega Evolution state. Within seconds, Greninja became Mega Greninja. His tongue was longer, red markings on his head, and the most interesting was the giant water shuriken on his back. Not only that, Greninja appeared much faster. His keen instincts boosted tremendously.
"What in the… HELL!" Meta Kamek had no time to move when Mega Greninja appeared right next to him and kicked him.
Mega Greninja moved with extreme speed, something that even Meta Kamek couldn't see. Mega Greninja sped up right behind Kamek and side kicked him in the ribs. Kamek decided to boost his own speed. Now they were on par. Lucario witnessed it first hand after his recovery. He could barely see Greninja and Meta Kamek as only small paths of light were seen colliding, bouncing back, and colliding again.
"You did it, Greninja. I'll let you take care of the rest from here," Lucario spoke, smiling at his friend.
Mega Greninja continued to give Meta Kamek a pounding. Meta Kamek could not understand why he was losing all of a sudden. He became irritated and built an electric barrier to defend himself. Mega Greninja responded with a barrage of rapid water darts, weakening the barrier. Meta Kamek exploded in a bit of rage, sending out electricity everywhere around him.
"How… HOW CAN YOU?! Keep up with the likes of me?!" Meta Kamek had a tinge of fear in his voice.
"I have evolved… just you said. It's over," Mega Greninja spoke as he used his Water Shuriken to strike Meta Kamek in one go.
"NOO!" a crazy strain of electric bolts fired everywhere.
It was all over when Greninja threw the Shuriken and back. Meta Kamek fell below but wasn't down for the count. He escaped in bitterness. Mega Greninja went to Lucario to check up on him.
"Are you alright, my friend?" asked Greninja.
"We must return to the others," told Lucario. Greninja nodded.
They ventured back to the other Smashers, who had just finished with the incoming nanite soldiers but were still in trouble with Porky and spider mech.

Warp Zone 4
Collective Repeater Tower
"I'M THE MIGHTY KING P! NO ONE CAN STOP ME!" Porky yelled like a brat kid.
Ness and Lucas shot PK Starstorm straight over Porky's spider mech, damaging it completely. One by one, each of the psychic boys planted powerful hits, trashing the spider mech and destroying the glass protecting Porky's body.
"It's over, old buddy," Ness said.
"No, no, no, THIS CAN'T BE!" Porky grunted.
"I'll make sure we never see you AGAIN!" Lucas used his acquired metal arm to bring the final hit and shatter the glass of Porky's spider mech.
Porky's frail body was dragged out by Lucas and he was face to face against all the Smashers.
"PLEASE! PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS! IPROMISETONOTDOANYTHINGBAD! I'M SORRYYYYY!" Porky pleaded out in terror.
"You don't have the right to beg! You killed my Mom! And my brother! I'm going to return the favor," Lucas had an angry expression.
"Have compassion! Ask my buddy Ness," Porky stated.
"You betrayed me. You picked on me. Tried to have me killed numerous times. Kidnapped my girlfriend. Hurt my friends. Escaped without remorse even for your own family. How could I forgive you when you're full of hate?" Ness told him straight up.
"You'll… YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, NESS! YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!" Porky shouted menacingly.
"I already was," Ness turned away from Porky. Porky looked straight at Lucas.
"GO AHEAD! KILL ME! TRUST ME YOU WON'T!" the pig king goaded him.
Despite the rage boiling inside of him, Lucas couldn't bring himself to kill someone. He showed mercy.
Porky smirked widely as he had one last trick up his sleeve. "Heh. Just kidding," Porky threw a grenade at Lucas, but before he could do so, Palutena swatted the grenade away within a millisecond of time.
"NOOOO! THAT WAS MY ONLY SHOT!" at this time, all the Smashers defeated the army of nanites.
Suddenly, Porky and his spider mech were being levitated upwards by an unknown force. "OH THANK GOODNESS!" he paraded in laughter.
"Tahh! Why couldn't I do it?!" Lucas yelled in anger.
"Lucas, calm down," Ness patted his back. "I'm kind of relieved you didn't. You're the better person."
Palutena went to comfort the psychic boy. "We have to keep moving, alright?"
Lucario and Greninja arrived just in time to re-group again.

Warp Zone 5
Collective Repeater Tower
As the Smashers continued forward to the next zone, they were met up by Meta Kamek again with someone else. The other person was suited in armor and covered by a dark helmet. Glowing tendrils came from its back. Glowing eyes appeared from its eyes.
"That pig-faced brat got carried away," Meta Kamek talked down to them. "But for now, you'll have to deal with—"
"Me!" Ganondorf appeared out from the dark wearing a dark cloak.
"Master Ganondorf?! I-I-I have this—" Meta Kamek was interrupted again by Ganondorf's order.
"You are not needed yet. Go proceed as planned," Ganondorf ordered Meta Kamek.
"Ganondorf!" said Bowser.
"You should be celebrating. You made it this far. Only a few moments before you're all collectively slaughtered," said Ganondorf.
"You monster!" Peach shouted.
"You have no idea what kind of true monster I am," the warlock remarked.
"Ganondorf! Face me!" Link screamed as he chased after the warlock. Ganondorf smirked in response and allowed him to follow.
"Link! No!" Zelda was about to stop him.
But too many nanites showed up. The Smashers were more than prepared to counterattack. They were caught up in the next warp zone as soon as they repelled the enemy.
