SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 54: Ganondorf
Ganondorf
Link and Ganondorf dueled in a fierce sword battle to the death. The warlock proved to be too much for the elf. The background was dark and serene as choirs of medieval and sci-fi music could be heard. Ganondorf was too powerful and brutally crushed Link by striking him at every turn. Link continued to evade all of Ganondorf's sword attacks, but not for much longer. They both grunted as the heat in this fight was drawing to a conclusion. The two close enemies were at the moment of truth. Link dodged a sword attack but didn't expect to get spartan kicked by Ganondorf in the gut. Link tried to fight back, but Ganondorf easily turned him around; the warlock sliced his back. Ganondorf pushed Link to the floor and repeatedly beat him even when he showed blood. Ganondorf continued to punch, kick, and stab away until Link was dead. The Smashers finally showed up to see their almost dead ally. Ganondorf turned around and looked upon the Smashers.
"It's over, Ganondorf!" Bowser declared.
"LINK!" Zelda rushed in to save her lover, until when Ganondorf simply sent her flying with a spin kick. The warlock smirked.
"You'll pay for hurting him!" the elfin princess stood up.
"Hehehahahaha!" the warlock simply laughed off her threat.
Ganondorf prepared to finish the job and stabbed Link's back through, until Link's body magically vanished and reappeared next to Mewtwo. The Psychic Pokémon glanced an angry look at Ganondorf as soon as the warlock spotted him.
Zelda was about to thank Mewtwo, but he shot her down with a serious scowl, making her back off.
"Do not think of this as a friendly gesture. This fool was in the way," Mewtwo scowled at the elfin princess.
"Oh, Mewtwo. Haven't you learned yet? Even with your psychic powers, you cannot possibly match the Gerudo King," Ganondorf boasted.
"You forget. I am no ordinary psychic," claimed Mewtwo.
"I am more powerful than you think. You should be careful," Ganondorf smirked.
"Enough! You'll suffer in the depths of Hell for controlling me!" Mewtwo prepared to fight.
"Please enlighten me," Ganondorf placed his sword away and prepared.
Ganondorf and Mewtwo battled out with a fury of punches and knee kicks. Both opponents were on par with each other. Being major villains and former allies, Ganondorf and Mewtwo closely trained to become stronger. However, Ganondorf's brutality outclassed Mewtwo. And Mewtwo's intense psychic energy outclassed Ganondorf. Ganondorf landed dangerous blows and Mewtwo fired off psychic moves as countering. Their level of power sent chills down the Smashers. Ganondorf and Mewtwo locked each other in a standstill and then broke off.
"You certainly live up to your reputation. If only you had joined me out of your free mind as second-in-command, I wouldn't have used the nanites on you," Ganondorf spoke.
"I am the strongest out of every single weakling here. I don't need to be under someone's control anymore. I will die with my free will intact," boasted Mewtwo.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll take you under the wing of the Collective once more, and then you can die without your worthless freedom," Ganondorf countered with a smirk.
Mewtwo charged forward and struck Ganondorf in the face with a furious psychic punch. Ganondorf used his head to push back the punch as if it were nothing. Mewtwo got even more frazzled and did a barrage of punches to Ganondorf's stomach. Ganondorf quietly gave a smile as he whispered.
"Warlock… Punch," Ganondorf whispered, surprising Mewtwo.
The Psychic Pokémon felt the full force of a close-range Warlock Punch. He was sent back indefinitely. Ganondorf proceeded to grab Mewtwo by the neck and choke him. Mewtwo tried to fight back, but Ganondorf placed a harder grip. Mewtwo instinctively smiled as he knew death was upon him. Ganondorf noticed this and grounded Mewtwo to the floor.
"Did you honestly believe you stood a chance against me, Mewtwo? Even you, however great you call yourself, cannot comprehend my power," Ganondorf told him.
Ganondorf had a needle with nanites on him and was ready to inject Mewtwo when Lucario stopped him. Ganondorf dodged the incoming attack, grabbed Lucario by the leg, and slammed him to the ground. Lucario was met with a Warlock Punch as soon as he got up. He too was sent back flying. Mewtwo merrily escaped.
"I expected you to use your strongest form. I would be more than glad to see it," Ganondorf looked at Lucario.
"Fine!" Lucario grunted as he went straight to his Mega Evolution form. "You'll be glad soon enough."
"Perfect. This is how it should be when you are killed!" remarked Ganondorf.
Mega Lucario and Ganondorf were of equal strength. Mega Lucario outmaneuvered each of Ganondorf's attacks. Ganondorf couldn't keep up and proposed a different approach. Instead of attacking head-on, Ganondorf dodged all of Lucario's attacks. Then, once the opportunity opened, Ganondorf grabbed one of Lucario's arms and elbowed his chest. Ganondorf had the chance to do another Warlock Punch.
"How is he so strong?! I'm in my Mega Evolution. There's no way he can surpass that," Lucario thought.
"Take my word for it. Fighting me is a grave mistake," Ganondorf told the Aura Pokémon.
Ganondorf repeatedly struck Lucario with jabs and knee kicks. Lucario did his best to survive and was able to get back long enough to do an Aura Bomb. He charged it up, and combined with Mega Evolution, he placed a ton of power into the Mega Aura Bomb.
"Take this! Mega Aura Bomb!" Mega Lucario's Mega Aura Bomb nearly blew a part of the Tower off.
Ganondorf barely dodged it in time. The warlock rushed towards Lucario and bashed him to the ground, and threw him across the room. Mega Lucario reverted back to his normal form. Ganondorf then spin-kicked the Aura Pokémon. Ganondorf had the upper hand in mere seconds.
"Hehehahahaha, down in less than a minute. All it takes is brute force and calculated timing to take each and every one of you down," boasted Ganondorf.
Mario was about to step in when Bowser intervened first. Mario was reluctant to let his old foe fight Ganondorf. Bowser gave Mario a serious look, followed by a nod of assurance. The red cap plumber did not buy into it, but backed off nevertheless.
"Bowser," Ganondorf welcomed.
"Let's start the fight and get introductions out of the way!" Bowser angrily replied.
"You haven't changed much. Do you remember when I betrayed you? Remember when I turned you into that…" Bowser interrupted Ganondorf's finishing sentence.
"I know it all too well! Never… never again! I will make you suffer for that too. From this point on, you're history!" proclaimed Bowser.
"Hmph. Let us tussle a grand fight, shall we?" Ganondorf raised a brow as he smirked.
Ganondorf and Bowser charged towards each other. They started off through a series of punches at each other. Ganondorf dodged many of the attacks and was able to land a Warlock Punch directly at Bowser's gut. Bowser was hit so hard that it was impossible to tell if he felt it. Bowser spat out blood. Ganondorf then struck the anthro turtle in the jaw as an uppercut. The warlock spin kicked Bowser to finish him. Bowser recovered, but he knew he couldn't take him out.
"Well, it ended as quickly as it began. You all should know that I've been toying with you. Just as Mewtwo said: weaklings. Parasites to my reign. You simply can't defeat me!" Ganondorf claimed.
"Oh, you sure about that, tough guy? I'll make sure your death comes to pass TODAY!" Wolf charged at Ganondorf, but was easily pushed back with a Warlock Punch to the stomach, followed by a spin kick to the face.
"Hehehahahaha, foolish beast!" remarked Ganondorf.
"You freak of nature!" Dark Pit went in to attack. The same result occurred. Ganondorf grabbed the angel's face and slammed it to the ground and kicked him aside.
"You are just a weak boy. I can rip your wings off with my bare hands and watch you squirm," Ganondorf grinned.
"It's no fun for me to play nice. It's about time to kill each and every one of you heroes!" Ganondorf tightened his fist of dark magic.
"I've seen enough…" Captain Falcon stepped in to challenge the warlock.
"Cap?! You're not serious about fighting him?!" Samus was confused by this. "You'll get pummeled. Even Lucario in his mega form couldn't stop Ganondorf."
"You guys know this fight has been long overdue…" Captain Falcon replied.
"So the Captain wishes to challenge me again? This surely brings back memories," Ganondorf and Captain Falcon were considered natural foes for their similarities in fighting styles and physique, but that was it. They had dueled once during the Melee Blitz, with Ganondorf nearly killing the Captain.
"It does," Captain Falcon's voice sounded calm.
"A rematch for old times sake," the warlock also sounded calm.
"A fight to remember for sure," Captain Falcon removed his helmet to reveal his actual face and tossed it to Ike, who caught it. Uncut brown hair and cold brown eyes.
"Captain," Ike caught the helmet.
"Keep it safe," Cap told the swordsman.
"I'll be able to see your eyes before you die," said Ganondorf.
"Fair enough," Captain Falcon replied.
"Tell me, can your Falcon Punch still match my Warlock Punch?" said Ganondorf.
"We're about to find out," the Captain replies.
Ganondorf and Cap walked towards to face each other in a standstill. They finally clashed head-on. They kicked and punched at the same time. Each blow had the same outcome. The harder the blows; the same outcomes it had. Ganondorf and Captain Falcon were not just on par; they were in sync with each other like a duet. Ganondorf performed Warlock Punch, and Captain Falcon dodged thanks to the bounty hunter's speed. Captain Falcon in return executes his signature move.
"FALCON… PAUNCH!" Cap punched Ganondorf with a blazing fiery fist. Ganondorf was pushed back hard.
"Hrmph, heh!" Ganondorf had Cap in a chokehold after grabbing him.
Ganondorf tried to attack, but since Cap was faster, he had the advantage. Cap overpowered the might of the Gerudo King in quick seconds. Though Ganondorf was stronger in unreachable heights, Captain Falcon was able to jab hit due to his incredible speed, which is second only to Sonic. Ganondorf blocked several of the rapid jabs, but that wasn't enough to stop Cap.
"FALCON… KICK!" Cap spin kicked Ganondorf and then knee kicked him in the chest with an electric sting.
"Argh! This is absurd!" the warlock recovered and checked his bruises. He then smirked at the Captain. "A minor setback; it won't happen again. Isn't that right, Captain?"
"Hrphm!" Captain Falcon released all of the blazing fire inside and amped up his fighting style.
"Captain Falcon is a mystery, even to us," Samus remarked. The other Smashers appeared attentive to this.
"He isn't just a bounty hunter or some famous racer, you know," Fox added.
"He's a devoted martial artist. It amazes me how honor bound he is," Mario included.
Ganondorf and Captain Falcon went for round two as they butted heads again. This time, the warlock began to act more brutish. He took on the defensive and waited for the opportunity to strike back at Cap. Ganondorf was also open. Both opponents took the opportunity to strike at the same time. Cap charged up his Falcon Punch, as Ganondorf charged up his Warlock Punch.
"FALCOMM…" Cap shouted.
"ERRRUU…" Ganondorf shouted.
"PAUNCH!" Captain struck.
"UYAHHH!" Ganondorf struck.
"!" Cap and Ganondorf clashed fists, creating a shockwave of intense power as both of them were sent back.
"Whoa!" Mario spoke.
"Cap is hanging in there," Samus commented.
"But for how long?" thought Fox.
Cap and Ganondorf continued to brawl furiously, meeting each and every attack laid on them. The more they clashed, the stronger the shockwaves got. The Smashers were amazed that the fight still dragged on for this long. Cap and Ganondorf went for another Falcon Punch and Warlock Punch struggle attack. Both of them fell back.
"There's no possibility that someone such as you can test me!" Ganondorf was irate.
"Had enough?" Captain Falcon replied.
"Not yet!" said Ganondorf.
Both opponents ran towards each other for one final clash. Cap transferred all the fire in his body into his one right fist. Ganondorf transferred the dark magic from his body into his own right fist. They boosted their speed and made for the last attack to count.
"FALCOMM…"
"HHRRRRR…"
"...PAAAUNNCCHH!"
"...UUYYAAHHHH!"
*BOOM*
A disaster explosion followed when Cap and Ganon's fists made contact. Both of them were instantly blown away, as were the Smashers as well. Cap's right glove and some parts of his suit were burned off. Ganondorf's cape was torn to shreds and his armor was in critical shape. Nevertheless, the warlock was perfectly fine.
"[panting] How… h-how are you able to still stand normally? You've taken on some of the strongest fighters, yet you don't seem tired or injured," Cap was a little fatigued.
"That is because I am the King of Evil, Captain," Ganondorf behaved relaxed; moments ago, he was pissed.
"This isn't over!" shouted Mario.
"I agree. It's clear now that you cannot be spared after what has happened. You heroes will not interfere in my plans; not when I've made it this far," Ganondorf stated.
"Not this time! Ganondorf!" Bowser charged straight at Ganondorf. Ganondorf charged at Bowser.
The two former allies clashed once again. Ganondorf struck with a Warlock Punch. Bowser was pushed back a little. The anthro turtle gave an unwilling smile as he grabbed Ganondorf by the arm and slammed him to the ground and threw him across the room. Samus fired up her Zero Laser and shot at Ganondorf. He barely dodged it in time, leaving him wide open.
"Take-a on-a this!" said Mario before the red plumber jumped forward and struck Ganondorf with a left hook aerial punch. Ganondorf narrowly recovered. Then, Fox then threw an assortment of smart bombs, setting them off. Ganondorf managed to avoid them in time.
"Watch the power of aura! HHRRRAAHHH!" Lucario used Aura Storm.
"Consider this MY severance package, Ganondorf! Psychic Wave!" Mewtwo used the Psychic Wave.
Together, their fused energy blasts pushed back Ganondorf and created a gap in the wall, exposing the outside of the Tower. Ganondorf's voice could not be heard as he fell below. The Smashers went to look down but did not see one trace of the warlock.
"Do you think he's—" Mario asked.
"...I'm not sure. It might have been enough to slow him down, but we'll meet him again soon," Bowser spoke.
Everyone looked down in wonder and proceeded to leave the room. As soon as the Smashers were finished, they came up to the last elevator lift that led to the top of the Collective Tower. Bowser activated the elevator's controls and prepared for the finale with his own allies and friends.
ooo
The Elevator
"We're minutes away from the end! Be ready, team!" told Bowser. The Smashers all nodded in agreement.
The elevator moved upwards, and slowly, the Smashers ascended. They waited patiently as the elevator moved up to the exterior; the Smashers were way above the island as they could see the rest of the island fading away. The air started to feel colder and thinner. Lucario and Greninja meditated. Mewtwo closed his eyes and concentrated on his own world. Samus crosses her arms. Wolf looked down below and had a violent stare. Peach prayed for everyone's safety. Palutena looked above in the skies as they were drawing closer to the clouds.
"You guys ready?" Ness asked.
"Y-yes!" said Lucas.
"Will you return home after we win?" asked Ness.
"I don't know," said Lucas. "I mean, I made so many friends here, but—" Lucas innocently stated.
Palutena caught their attention and decided to talk to the boys.
"Don't tell me you plan on leaving! You're so strong and brave that nothing can stop you," Palutena told them, making Lucas blush uncontrollably.
"Oh no! I promise I won't leave haha," Lucas said with nervous laughter.
Palutena happily greeted Mewtwo, who was minding his own business.
"Uh, hey Mewtwo! How's it going? Are you doing good?" Palutena's friendly nature was unusual to Mewtwo.
"..." he did not speak.
"Not much of a talker, I see," she replied. "That's cool. I'm sure you don't make a lot of friends."
Mewtwo narrowly changed his attention to Lucas.
"As a psychic, you should realize there is more untapped potential within you," Mewtwo told the boy.
"Really? I mean, I saved my world once before but I don't know if I have it in me now," Lucas still doubted himself.
"Hmm. You doubt yourself even at this very moment. The fact that you have made it this far in your adventure proves your strength. When this all blows over, you and I will do battle," proclaimed Mewtwo.
Lucas surprisingly smiled with pride. He was being acknowledged by a powerful psychic.
"It's a deal!" Lucas nodded.
"I'd be careful what you wish for," Ness slouched on the elevator.
"Huh?" the blonde kid raised a brow.
"I've fought Mewtwo before. Let's just say it wasn't pretty," Ness started.
"The boy almost died," Mewtwo coldly stated.
"But it was a really close fight, wasn't it?" Ness stared with envy.
"It wasn't," the psychic replied.
"WHAT?! That's not fair! I remember that story as clear as day!" at this point, everyone else keyed in on the conversation.
"You remember it too well because you lost so terribly that even footage of it had it be erased," Mewtwo countered back harshly, getting oohs from the crowd. Ness slumped back in defeat.
"Gonna need some ointment for that sick burn," Samus mocked.
"So I take it you're getting used to us already. See, I knew we'd all be friends hehehe," Palutena giggled.
"Save your breath. I would rather be exterminated than conform to your standards. I simply revel the thrill of a good challenge," Mewtwo pouted, making Palutena pout to try to annoy him further. Didn't work.
Meanwhile, Wolf and Fox conversed on their possible final mission. Peach and Rosalina looked on as the two former rivals talked.
"You nervous?" asked Fox.
"About what?" retorted Wolf.
"This is possibly our last mission. If we lose, the whole planet…" Wolf intervened in Fox's sentence.
"What's up with you all of sudden, pup? You of all people shouldn't be scared. We've been through missions like this before. Besides, that fight against Tabuu the so-called 'King of Subspace' was something else. We should have died there, realistically speaking," Wolf countered.
"I know, but…" replied Fox.
"If the Master Hand is as bad as you say he is, then I'm disappointed. We fought someone on a god level. You beat Andross countless times, and he was close to a god," Wolf listed examples.
"No, it's not that. It's about… Peach. If she got hurt, I would never be able to forgive myself. I have to be there to protect her. I mean, you have that burden, don't you?" said Fox. Wolf seemed concerned.
"My woman can handle herself. And I'm sure Peach can do the same. Point is you can't be chicken about the consequences; focus on what you can do now. If you do get killed, walk it off and fight on," Wolf told him.
"...You're right. Thank you, Wolf," replied Fox. The girls then walked over to them.
"Oh, Wolf. You're such a great friend," Rosalina hugged Wolf.
"He's not my friend. We're rivals and sworn enemies," stated Wolf. The other three began to laugh.
"Oh give it a rest, Fluffy. You and my Fox are practically best friends," said Peach.
"We're not friends," Fox reiterated.
"The word 'practically' is in there. We're not sure if me and Fox are even friends at all," Wolf replied.
"Tch, whatever you say. But thank you so much for snapping Fox back to reality," Peach proceeded to hug Wolf.
"Sure, princess," Wolf accepted.
"What happens after this?" questioned Rosalina.
"I don't know about you, Rosie. But I plan to go back to the kingdom, and Fox will join me," Peach told them, with Fox blushing. "Ooh, Rosie! When are you and Fluffy going to get married?!"
"W-W-wha?!" Rosalina blushed red.
"Why bring it up at a time like this?" Wolf was also red.
"Oh c'mon. It's bound to happen soon," Peach restated with a wink.
Lucina stared at Dark Pit for a good minute before he noticed. "Why are you staring at me?" he demanded.
"Oh, so you noticed?" Lucina replied back with slight flirtation.
"When this is all done, I will personally eliminate you myself," the evil angel stated with venom.
"Heh. I look forward to it," she blushed and smiled.
"What a pain. She thinks I'm joking," Dark Pit pouted.
"You know, sometimes I wonder who's the real idiot of the Pit duo," Pit made a side remark.
Everyone continued to take a breather as the elevator ascended to the highest level at the top of the Tower. Suddenly, the elevator halted to a screeching stop. The voices of Meta Kamek and Doctor Eggman were heard afterward.
"They're almost here, Doctor!" shouted Meta Kamek.
"We'll make sure you never arrive at the top of the Tower!" said Eggman.
"SEND IN THE NANITES!" Meta Kamek ordered.
Nanite soldiers from all around the globe descended from above the Tower by grinding. Various nanite soldiers consisted of SRA government soldiers, rebel fighters, Koopa Troopas, and mercenaries. All the nanite soldiers had their glowing tendrils on their backs as well as glowing eyes; more alarming was black, bright veins that appeared on their faces and parts of the body. The Smashers removed themselves from the breather and readied for a second to final fight before reaching the top of the Tower.
