M.G: In the story, Strive for Easiness, what was Eiki's reason for helping the Smashers prevent the disaster from taking place?
Game2002: Assuming you mean the Destructor, because it's extremely dangerous and not something you can kill so easily. If it has to be resurrected, it should be in a world where its people are familiar with it.

M.G: How would it turn out for the Smashers in trying to stop yukkuri abuse if neither Eiki nor the others from Gensokyo came to help?
Game2002: That wasn't in my mind when I made the story, so I wouldn't think too much about it.

It seems that less and less people are coming to this site nowadays, hence the reason for the lack of reviews. I don't really think it has to do with the quality of stories. I've seen stories with pretty good quality, but they still got little reviews.

Guess people are starting to move forward or are too busy with something else… Admittedly, this does make me feel down, but I think I'm going to continue writing stories on this site anyway.

By the way, I've added line breaks to the previous chapter to make reading easier. Forgot to add them the first time…

Chapter 2
Final Fantasy of the Evil Lords

Cloud was driving down the streets of Midgar on his motorcycle after successfully delivering a package to one of his customers. It was his job as an employee of Strife Delivery Service, a business dedicated to performing deliveries that were considered dangerous in the way that involved going through areas filled with monsters. Monsters that harm humans were somewhat common in the country Midgar was located in, so experts in dealing with monsters were required in order to perform certain tasks that might result in encountering them.

"A bit quiet nowadays…" he said in his head while stopping in front of a red light. "Hope something different will happen for once…"

Almost as if his wish was granted, he spotted the flying saucer of the Evil Lords flying over him. Along with everyone else present, Cloud was surprised at the sight of the flying machine, and when the traffic light turned green, he wasted no time in going after it.

After about a minute of chasing the flying saucer, Cloud came to a playground and witnessed it slowly making its landing. All those who were close to it moved away fast, while people outside the playground gathered at the place to witness this extraordinary sight.

"Aliens?! For real?!" Cloud said in his head with a look of surprise.

"Cloud! You're here too?" asked a deep voice behind him. He turned around to see Barret standing there.

"Yeah, I saw it while on my way back to Tifa's place and thus followed it here," Cloud told him.

"I was close to this place when I suddenly saw that saucer showing up, so I followed it here," said Barret. "Quite a surprise! Never would I think I would see an alien spaceship showing up with my own eyes! That is an alien spaceship and not some phony made by scientists, right?"

"Who knows? We'll see soon enough," Cloud told him.

Everyone eyed the flying saucer as the part underneath it descended, revealing the decagon-shaped table with each of the Evil Lords sitting on one of its sides. When the floor the table was on touched the ground, all the Evil Lords except Lord Oblivion stood up and turned to the onlookers, who continued to watch in awe.

Glaring menacingly at the people, Lord A cleared his throat and was going to say something when suddenly Lord What let out a cheerful-sounding cry before running towards a slide to have fun with it. All the Evil Lords except Lord Oblivion and the onlookers gave Lord What weird looks, while the latter happily slid down the slide and then got up it again to do the same thing over and over without care of anyone looking at him.

"Saw that coming," said Lord Hindsight.

"Forget about him…" grumbled Lord A. He then turned to the onlookers and cleared his throat again. He was going to say something when suddenly Lord No-Brain interrupted him.

"Lord What has approximately slid down the slide ten times by the time I am saying this," said the robot. "Or is it one-hundred?"

Lord A gave the robot a kick to the side to make it fall over, and then he said to the onlookers in frustration, "All right, you lot! We are the Evil Lords, and we are here to take over your filthy little planet! Bow down before your new kings now, or else we will use violence to make you do so! You better cooperate with me, because I am so much better than any of you here in doing anything! Washing dishes, cooking, cleaning houses, taking naps! I can do any of those things better than you ever will!"

"What happened to the speech you prepared beforehand?" Lord Underestimateron asked him.

"I think he's so frustrated by what happened earlier that he decided to screw everything and say whatever he wants," said Lord Exaggeratron.

"So much for claiming to be the best at what you do!" Lord Hasbrain said to Lord A. "If it were me, I would continue what I intended to do, even if distractions happened! This proves that I have a brain, and it's definitely better than yours!"

Enraged by what he said, Lord A said to Lord Hasbrain, "Is that supposed to mean you are better than me?"

"It is scientifically proven that I have and will always be better than you in doing anything!" Lord Hasbrain told him.

"Why you arrogant, little b******!" said the draconic alien angrily while gripping his fist so tightly that it might as well start bleeding. "I absolute hate arrogant people like you!"

"Bring it, then! Let's prove it once and for all who the better guy around here is!" said Lord Hasbrain while raising his fists and moving them in a way that showed he wanted to fight.

"OH MY GOD! I JUST REALIZED THAT HE IS CARRYING A HUGE SWORD ON HIS BACK!" Lord Brain Damage shouted at the top of his voice all of a sudden while pointing at Cloud. "A BIG SWORD! A REALLY BIG SWORD! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" He then fell on his back and passed out.

Everyone stared at the pretty much unconscious alien who was now muttering "big sword" over and over while trembling slightly. "Um… Did I scare him to death?" asked Cloud.

"You do have a big sword…" Barret told him. "Though I don't see that as anything to freak out over…"

"Bah! I'll handle this!" said Scumlord as he stepped forward. "Look at the pro work and behold!"

"Are you trying to imply that you're better than me?!" Lord A angrily asked him.

Ignoring him, Scumlord said to the onlookers, "Be afraid of us, everyone! We are evil aliens from the darkest parts of outer space! We have come here to take over your planet! If you do not submit to us, we will…" He then proceeded to say all sorts of terrible things, so much that some of the adults closed their children's ears so that they wouldn't get corrupted.

"As proof that I am serious about what I said, I shall now proceed to destroy this playground!" concluded Scumlord. He then laughed maniacally while skipping over to a seesaw. Lifting up one side of the seesaw, he slammed it onto the ground hard, and then it bounced back up and hit him underneath the chin. This caused him to take several steps back, and then he tripped and hit the back of his head against the side of a drinking fountain and passed out.

"Saw this coming from afar," said Lord Hingsight while looking at him.

As everyone stared at the unconscious Scumlord with strange expressions, Barret said to Cloud, "I'm starting to think that this is a stunt or viral marketing of some kind…"

"I agree…" replied the blonde swordsman.

"You know what? How about we just get out of here?" suggested Lord Exaggeratron. "I don't think anybody's going to be afraid of us any longer…"

"I concur," said Lord Hindsight, and the others all nodded.

Lord A shouted for Lord What to carry Scumlord back. The weird-looking alien stopped building a sandcastle using his foot and then rushed over to Scumlord to shove him in the direction of the flying saucer using his feet by moving along the ground using a weird sliding movement.

After all the Evil Lords were seated around the decagon-shaped table, it rose back into the flying saucer. Inside, Lord Oblivion suddenly looked around, looking as if he just woke up from a trance. "Oh yeah, aren't we going to go out there and take over this place?"

From the outside, everyone watched as the flying saucer floated into the sky and taking off into the distance. "What was that all about…?" asked Cloud.

"Beats me…" replied Barret.

Cloud's smartphone then rang, so he answered it, "What is it, Tifa?"

"Cloud! I just heard reports about a flying saucer showing up!" said the voice of Tifa from the other end.

"Yeah, we ran into the aliens in there," replied the blonde swordsman.

"Really? Where are you now? How is everything there?" she asked.

"Let's just say I feel like wanting to get my brain checked to see if I was having a crazy dream or not just now…" he replied.

"How are you able to speak the same language as us?" R.O.B. asked Incrediblus while they were in the book room.

"By using a special kind of helmet that forces knowledge of various things into your brain," replied Incrediblus. "I used it to learn your language in a short amount of time."

"Sounds like a useful gadget!" commented the robot.

TO BE CONTINUED

In case some of you don't know, this isn't the first time Cloud appeared in my SSB series. He first appeared in Darkling and later showed up in Super Smash Racing 2.

I am aware that language has never been an issue in my SSB series. Everyone all over the planet speaks the same language, but I figured that since Incrediblus came from a distance part of space, it makes more sense for him to have his own language. The Evil Lords also learned Tooneria's language using the same helmet.
