SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War

Chapter 57: Master Core

Final Boss Battle Master Hand and Crazy Hand

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Master Hand and Crazy Hand laughed as they went forward with the first attack...but not before the Smashers went in first.

"Everyone! Let's-a Smash!" Mario started off with a yell, followed by his Mario Finale. Master Hand and Crazy Hand took minimal damage but it wasn't enough to phase them.

"Tch… Zero Laser!" Samus fired her Zero Laser, which had a stronger effect.

"Psychic Bomb!" Mewtwo used his deadly psychic attack.

"Aura Storm!" Lucario went with his energy wave.

"PK… STARSTORM!" Lucas and Ness said simultaneously.

"Divine Light!" Palutena flashed her bow of light and shot an arrow at the Hands.

"Send forth the stars and let them shine!" Rosalina launched a powerful glowing star at the Hands.

"AAHHHHH!" Master Hand winced out in excruciating pain.

"GAUUUUHHHHH!" Crazy Hand screamed out in a bloody yell.

"They've already weakened," Dark Pit pointed out.

"Nice!" Lucina nodded.

"It appears we have overlooked a major error. They are far more destructive than we had anticipated," said Master Hand.

"HA! As if they realize what they're up against. We haven't even fought back yet," said Crazy Hand.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand circled the Tower and attacked with joint strikes. The Smashers quickly dodged when Master and Crazy fired an array of laser beams. Master and Crazy next shot off a stream of explosive bullets. The Smashers nearly evaded them. Then, the Masters outright zoomed away and flew back to the Tower to wipe out the heroes. Luckily, the Smashers dodged that too in the nick of time. Master Hand and Crazy Hand grew more irritated.

"This is inconceivable. The Smashers should be no trouble for our joint assault," said Master Hand.

"ARGH! How about we go for our Extinction Storm? We're sure to kill them, brother!" said Crazy Hand.

"That should suffice," Master Hand replied.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand shot streams of lasers at each other to make them collide to create a light blue ball of dark energy. Lucario transformed back to Mega Lucario and readied for a Mega Aura Storm. Palutena sent him energy to power up the Mega Aura Storm further.

"Watch the Power of Aura! HURAAAHHHHHH!" Mega Lucario fired Mega Aura Storm.

"YOUR LIFE HAS EXPIRED!" shouted Crazy Hand.

"Extinction Storm!" Master Hand and Crazy Hand said at the same time as they threw their mighty ball of energy at the Smashers.

"Er, Er, Er, ERRAHHHHH! I can't hold it much longer!" Mega Lucario struggled to hold the line.

"Atomic Psychic Bomb!" Mewtwo fired at the Extinction Storm to aid Lucario.

"ERRRAAHHHHHH!" Mega Lucario went to his buff state and pushed his attack forward.

"OH NO!" Crazy Hand screeched.

"This is only the start," Master Hand calmly stated.

The Extinction Storm exploded in a blind aftermath. Both sides were unaffected by the blast. The Smashers had to strategize to put an end to the Hands. As for them, both Master and Crazy were restless in their pursuit.

"DAMMIT! Why haven't we been able to destroy them? These parasites should be easy to crush! I don't get it!" Crazy Hand fumbled.

"Patience, brother. We still contain another of our joint attacks we can utilize," Master Hand assured his brother. "We will perform Smashing Destruction."

"Excellent!" Crazy Hand agreed.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand locked hands and spun around quite rapidly. The raging speed of the spinning indicated they were preparing to make an attack. From their fingertips, a bright light of energy shone. Out from the bright light, a divine energy wave emerged. Their voices echoed.

"Meet the end of your time! Smashing God Breaker Destruction!" Master Hand and Crazy Hand blasted their ultimate joint special attack.

"PK… STARSTORM!" Ness and Lucas all used the almighty PK Starstorm Omega as a trio.

"MEGA AURA STORM!" Lucario used the Mega Aura Storm while still grasping to maintain his buff state.

"ATOMIC… PSYCHIC BOMB!" Mewtwo fired another one.

"DIVINE… ARROW!" Palutena shot a godly arrow from her bow.

"How about I use this instead?" Samus tried the Reverse Zero Laser beam instead.

"Grand Star!" Rosalina used her big glowing star of power.

"And take some of this!" Mario did his Finale as an added bonus.

"They're breaking through our Smashing Destruction! GAH! WE CAN'T BE DEFEATED THIS QUICKLY!" Crazy Hand was more than terrified.

"We have underestimated them, brother! We mustn't let them claim victory a third time, especially when we are at the final destination of our goal," said Master Hand.

Finally, the combined might of all of the Smashers' energy attacks broke through the Smashing God Breaker Destruction energy wave and damaged the Masters at critical levels. When the dust settled, Master Hand and Crazy Hand appeared worn out and weaker. Crazy Hand was more pissed out than ever.

"No. No. No. NO! How dare they be more powerful?! We will summon up some of our lackeys to dispose of them!" said Crazy Hand.

"If that is your wish brother, I will humbly and blindly follow along," said Master Hand.

Pretty soon, a wide range of mechanical fighters loyal only to Master Hand and Crazy Hand showed up. The fight only got more intense as soon as everyone on all sides participated in a great battle for the World of Smash. Master Hand and Crazy Hand fought against the Smashers, hoping to divert their attention and take on more fighters than on one side. Numerous explosions took place. The skies were no longer dim but had clear sky once more. Even more explosions occurred from the relentless carnage. In the midst of chaos, the dark and bloodied hand of someone reached the very top of the Tower. The clear grunting instinctively screamed true danger.

"Hehehahahaha… did you think you could get rid of me?" evil lashed in his sinister voice as he whispered.

His torn armor, bloodied face, disgruntled dreaded hair, and the anger he felt made him seek pure vengeance. He looked at the Smashers and then at the Masters, his superiors. The warlock smirked widely as he witnessed how weakened Master Hand and Crazy Hand. He shouted out in satisfaction.

"FINALLY! My steps to become ruler of this World draw closer. Do you see now, Masters?! Do you see how easily you fall?! Only for me to rise! I am the one! The one meant to destroy these forsaken heroes! To rule this World! Hehehehahahahahaha!" the warlock stated as everybody turned to his attention but were still fighting.

"GANONDORF?!" Samus asked in hysteria.

"IT TOOK HIM LONG ENOUGH!" Captain Falcon added.

"The better question is what happens when I destroy this Tower! Without it, there will be nothing left of you!" Ganondorf threatened everyone as they were in shock at what he just said. Ganondorf prepared a powerful Warlock Punch on the floor of the Tower to dismantle it altogether. "THIS IS THE END! Goodbye Heroes! HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!" Ganondorf's Warlock Punch was suddenly interrupted by an explosion.

*BOOM*

Ganondorf's body fell back, near the edge of the Tower. He stood up to see that Wolf threw an explosive straight at him. Ganondorf was ready to do another Warlock Punch, but Wolf dodged the hit, elbowed Ganondorf in the stomach, and slammed his face. Wolf gave a serious look of anger as Ganondorf recovered. The warlock clenched his teeth in frustration.

"You damn wolf! I'll kill you!" Ganondorf couldn't think straight.

"You're gonna stay dead, Ganondorf!" Wolf angrily stated as he began to punch and kick at the warlock.

Both of them traded blows one to one. Ganondorf could still put up the same fight level from previously. The warlock furiously struck Wolf in the face until he was bleeding. Wolf scratched at Ganondorf, giving him claw marks on his chest armor. Ganondorf grabbed hold of Wolf and had him in a chokehold.

"Just hurry up and die!" Ganondorf choked Wolf.

"Not yet," Wolf was feeling blue,gasping for oxygen.

He had no choice, but to fight dirty. Wolf viciously bit Ganondorf's arm to the point where he removed some skin off. Ganondorf pushed Wolf away as he let go of him to examine the wound. Wolf spat out blood from his mouth. Ganondorf started to charge at him with a Warlock Punch. Wolf decided to go for a last resort. The anthro wolf pulled out a smart bomb and had it collide with the Warlock Punch to create an extremely high explosion.

*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*

The entire Tower shook and everyone almost tipped off and was close to falling. Ganondorf and Wolf took critical damage. Ganondorf's arm had not been phased. Wolf's clothes were burned and torn up. Ganondorf was at the edge of the Tower, and he had a look of insanity. Wolf was at a feral level. Wolf charged towards Ganondorf and began punching him. The warlock drew out pallets of blood. Ganondorf used his other hand and grabbed Wolf by the neck.

"[spits out blood] Hmph. Goodbye," Ganondorf smirked as he choked the life out of Wolf.

"Y-yeah… bye," Wolf ignited a smart bomb.

"WHAT?!" Ganondorf shouted his final sayings.

Wolf used his last bit of strength to throw another smart bomb and let it explode, making both him and Ganondorf fall off the Tower.

Rosalina cried out as she saw when he sacrificed himself.

"Wolf! NO!" the space princess screamed as Wolf descended below.

Wolf immediately called her. "Rosalinaaaaa!" Wolf spoke his last words. Rosalina broke down into tears.

"NNNNOOOoooo!" Rosalina continued to sob uncontrollably. She wiped them with her arm seconds later. She was no longer crying but was full of rage now. "I… I have to avenge him!" Rosalina thought.

The Tower was shaking again, but this time, it was from something else. Master Hand and Crazy Hand sensed the source was coming from Rosalina. Her rage would no longer be kept locked inside. The loss of someone she cared about was too much for her. She felt it slipping.

"ERRRR… GYAAAAAAAAH!" Rosalina released her anger, sending off a shockwave of energy that destroyed all of the Masters' loyal subjects. "I'm going to make you pay!"

"YIKES! Brother, what do we do?! That woman has too much power for us to stop," Crazy Hand acted hysterically.

"Utilize the Divine Cannon!" Master Hand suggested.

Master and Crazy both extended their index fingers and fired an energy beam of destructive power. Rosalina countered with an ultimate power star of pure cosmic energy, the Grand Cosmic Heaven Star. The Masters aimed at Rosalina and readied their attack.

"Divine Cannon!" Master and Creasy said at the same time.

"HEAVENLY STAR!" Rosalina shouted as she threw her ultimate attack.

The Grand Cosmic Heaven Star and Divine Cannon struggled. Rosalina had the upper advantage in her powers. She suddenly had a boost in pure power. She placed more energy into the Heavenly Star. The Divine Cannon had no chance of stopping her. Rosalina looked at Master Hand and Crazy Hand and showed a serious and angry look.

"I won't let up! I won't let you kill anyone else!" Rosalina's voice echoed like a goddess, almost terrifying the Masters. Rosalina managed to push back the Divine Cannon.

"WAH! NO WAY!" Crazy Hand was scared as the Heavenly Star reached him and his brother.

The Heavenly Star instantly blew up like an unexpected supernova in front of the Smashers. Everyone was astonished by Rosalina's true cosmic power.

"Rosie! You did it!" Peach ran to hug her friend for victory.

"Thank you. I'm sorry I lashed out like that," Rosalina felt a little embarrassed.

"Are you kidding?! You're like one of the strongest out of all of us," Peach stated.

"I guess when you put it that way," Rosalina agreed as she smiled a bit. "Wolf…" she thought about him.

"Wolf…" Fox mourned his fallen comrade and former rival. "...Thank you."

"Aw, man. He was doing something alright, but he didn't have to die like that," Samus also mourned.

"I wanted to be the one to kill Ganondorf," Dark Pit did not say anything either as he thought.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand appeared in the skies, apparently fazed but intact. Crazy Hand was more worn out and bruised than Master Hand. Crazy Hand violently yelled in great anguish. He was beyond pissed. No sense of calmness could be heard from him.

"DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! I CAN'T TAKE IT! THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN BE THIS STRONG! OUR BUTTONS ARE BEING PUSHED!" Crazy Hand yelled out.

"Silence, brother!" Master Hand raised his voice to limit Crazy Hand from becoming too crazy.

"It seems we have underestimated them for far too long. If we're not too careful again, our World will never return to us," warned Master Hand. Crazy Hand looked at his brother and then at the Smashers.

"...We have no other option," Crazy Hand said to his brother and directed to the Smashers. "For continuing to dishonor our supremacy, you Smashers will face true terror! We are the Creators of this World and we're taking it back!"

"In our exile, we developed a new form; one that involves fusion. Familiar to you, perhaps. When our bodies merge, we will become the ultimate primordial creator, the Master Core," explained Master Hand.

"Ehehehahahahaha! Finally, this is really the end!" Crazy Hand laughed as he and Master drew closer to one another.

"Through the foretellings of this World, a group of heroes would rise up and overthrow us, but that destiny is about to change… NOW!" said Master Hand.

ooo

Final Boss Battle Master Core

Phase One: Master Swarm

Master Hand and Crazy Hand's bodies were about to mush together and begin mixing. Crazy Hand disintegrated into dark flames and laughed considerably as he did so. Master Hand flailed and ripped himself open to allow Crazy Hand to enter his body. Their merged bodies became a void of darkness. That void leaked out streams of darkness. It appeared as a mass of black particles, like a swarm. Master and Crazy became nothing but an embodiment of leaking darkness. It was known as Master Core. The Master Core started out as a living swarm of terror. It began to speak.

"HOHOHEHEHAHAHAHA!" the Master Core. "ERRRRAAAAHHAHAHAHA!"

"Mama mía! What the hell have they become?!" Mario jumped back in terror.

"Why does it remind me of Giygas?!" Ness was really afraid, more afraid than the time he had to fight Giygas.

"They've… they've become the living embodiment of darkness, but I'm afraid that's not the worst part," Lucario was filled with fear.

"I can sense their energy… and it keeps building up," even Mewtwo felt a little scared.

"This is no time to let fear overtake us! We gotta fight if it means us dying," said Bowser.

"Hate to break to ya, but what the hell are we supposed to do about THAT?" asked Falco.

"C'mon. I feel like it has a weakness somewhere hidden in that sea of darkness," Palutena observed.

"Normally I would agree with you, but I would want to aim where it hurts the most, and it looks like there's nothing important to hit," said Samus.

"Everyone, we can't let up, not while we still have each other," encouraged Peach. "I know you're all scared, but we can't give up on the World. We can win!"

"...You're right. Okay, maybe I was a little scared. It doesn't matter now. Now… we fight to the finish!" Lucina mustered up some courage.

"Hm, guess the gauntlet's off," Dark Pit also got serious.

"I won't be scared anymore. As long as I have friends!" Lucas tightened his fist and nodded. "Yeah! Let's do this, Ness!"

"R-right!" Ness got over his fear.

"I am going to utilize 100% of my power. If you can't keep up, feel free to die," Mewtwo had declared.

"As will I," Lucario added as he smirked.

"We're here until we win!" Captain Falcon gave a thumbs up.

"Out of all the things I get dragged into," Snake was also ready to fight.

"Master Core! We're about to put an end to you here and now!" proclaimed Mario.

"RRRROOARRRRR! WOAHEHAHAHAHA!" Master Swarm began to take shape, transforming not into a swarm anymore but a gargantuan humanoid entity of darkness, giving off a nod to Tabuu in his giant form.
