Chapter 6: On to Bomb-omb Battlefield! (Part 2)

Bomb-omb Battlefield: The entrance

The heroes land at the entrance of the Battlefield and look around.

"So this is Bomb-omb Battlefield?" Sonic asked.

"I can see why it's called a battlefield." Tails mused, looking around him. "Look at all the cannons here!"

"Tails," Luigi asked. "Are you getting a signal?"

"Uh…" Tails looked at his radar, which was beeping. "It looks like it's coming from the top of that mountain." He pointed to a large mountain a ways away.

"Well," Mario laughed. "At least we won't have the Bomb-omb king to worry about. We shouldn't have any problems."

The heroes walked up to the top of the mountain and sure enough: on top was the Chaos Emerald!

"There it is!" Tails exclaimed, walking to it. "The first Chaos Emerald!" He kneels down to pick it up when he gets knocked down by an unseen opponent. "Oof!"

"Tails!" Sonic said, running to his friend and helping him up. "You OK?"

Tails nodded. "Yeah, but what was that?"

"Well well, look who decided to show their smug faces." There was a slight distortion as Dimentio appeared above the emerald. "You didn't really think I would just GIVE you this Chaos Emerald, now would you?"

"Dimentio!?" Mario and Luigi asked in disbelief.

"Long time no see, my menacing mustached foes." Dimentio cheerily said.

"But…but you're dead!" Luigi exclaimed in disbelief. "Wait…" He suddenly began shaking. "Are you a…a GHOST!?" He quickly ran behind Mario while Dimentio laughed.

"No you idiot! I'm the real thing. You just killed a clone of me." Dimentio chuckled as Luigi breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you want Dimentio?" Mario asked, clenching his fists.

"What do you think!?" Dimentio suddenly stopped being cheery and became rather angry. "I want what I've been wanting for years, ever since you defeated me, forcing me into that cursed dimension without any hope of escape. I want revenge!"

"Well, you're not gonna have it!" Mario declared.

"Is that so!?" Dimentio thundered. "We'll see about that! You will go through the same pain you put me through!" Saying that, he snapped his fingers and the heroes found themselves in a strange looking dimension. "And now it's time for my favorite game:" Dimentio said. "Destroy the plumber! I've always wanted to play this with you!"

"I would like to see you try!" Mario challenged, while Luigi continued to cower behind him.

Dimentio chuckled. "Very well then." He began to speed at Mario but Sonic blocked his way. "What's this!?"

"Look buddy," Sonic said, blocking Dimentio. "I don't' know what your problem is, and I honestly don't care. But Mario and I are allies. And if you want to get him you have to get through me first!"

"Well, you know what they say: The more the merrier." With that Dimentio shot a lightning-fast magic beam at Sonic, who couldn't dodge it in time.

"Sonic!" Tails called, helping his best friend up. "You OK?"

"Yeah," Sonic looked at Dimentio, who was watching in amusement. "But I guess that won't work."

Dimentio laughed. "You fool!" He exclaimed. "This dimension makes me 256 times stronger! There is no way you can defeat me here!"

"That's what you think Dimentio!" Mario said, pulling out a Fire Flower and transforming into Fire Mario. "Have at you!" Mario shot several fireballs at Dimentio, who stepped back.

"Transforming huh?" Dimentio teased. "Can't beat me in your normal form eh?"

"You can't beat us Dimentio!" Mario said, shooting several more fireballs at Dimentio, who simply dodged them.

"That's what you think." Dimentio suddenly made several holograms of himself and attacked the heroes with them.

"Oh great…" Luigi said sarcastically. "This looks like fun."

"You're right!" Sonic said, excited. "Let's get the party started!"

The four begin fighting Dimentio's holograms, but as the real Dimentio continued attacking at different angles they were unable to beat him, and were eventually driven back.

"Wow…" Tails said, panting for breath. "He's stronger than I thought."

Dimentio chuckled as he snapped his fingers and teleported them back to Bomb-omb Battlefield. "Now you see that it is useless to try to defeat me. No matter how strong you think you are, you're no match for me!"

"Yeah? We'll see about that!" A rather scratchy yet familiar voice said behind them.

"What?" Dimentio and the others turned around and saw a crocodile standing there.

"Sorry," A purple chameleon said as Dimentio turned around. "But this isn't going to feel good." He quickly threw several shurikens at Dimentio, which hit him and blow up.

"All right," Dimentio was a little upset by the sneak attack. "You asked for it!" He created several more copies of himself and attacked the heroes.

"Bring it on ya bully!" A young bee sang. "We're ready!"

With the Chaotix distracting the copies, the heroes were able to finally defeat Dimentio.

"Ouch!" Dimentio said, falling to the ground as Sonic kicked him into Mario's punch.

"It looks like you lost again Dimentio." Mario taunted him.

"Curse you Mario!" Dimentio shouted, although the heroes could see that he wasn't angry. "I vowed that I would get revenge on you!"

"Perhaps you're just working with the wrong team." Mario suggested.

"Ha!" Dimentio exclaimed, standing up. "You think you've beaten me, but we will meet again. And next time the outcome will be different. Ciao!" He suddenly vanished as the heroes looked on in surprise.

Tails quickly grabbed the Emerald and held it in the air. "Here it is!" He said happily. "The first Chaos Emerald!"

"Awesome!" Luigi clapped.

"Yo Vector," Sonic said, walking up to a giant crocodile. "Thanks for the help! But how'd you get here?"

The crocodile took Sonic's hand and shook it. "No prob Sonic." He said. "We were in our office when everything suddenly flashed white. We must have lost consciousness or something. When we came to we found ourselves here. Charmy was flying around when he saw you guys, and we thought maybe you'd be able to tell us how we got here."

"Egghead sent us here by mistake." Sonic answered Vector. "And now we're looking for the Chaos Emeralds to get back home. Wanna help?"

"Sure thing." Espio the Chameleon said quietly. "That was a close call for you. And if there are others like him looking for the Emeralds we have to work fast."

"I agree." Vector nodded. "We'll help you Sonic."

"Wow, thanks guys!" Tails said gratefully.

"OK," Mario said, interrupting. "We have our first Emerald, so let's head back to the castle."

"Whoa!" Charmy exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement. "There's a castle here!?"

"We've got quite the story to tell you." Tails nodded.

"Well then," Luigi said. "Let's go!"

"Right!"

The heroes walk back to the portal and jump in.

Bowser's Castle: Basement

Eggman was showing Bowser a robot on a table.

"Behold, my greatest creation!" Eggman boasted.

"Looks nice Doc." Bowser said, looking at the robot. "But will he be able to defeat Mario and Sonic?"

"He should." Eggman assured him. "And he will have some help."

Just then Dimentio appeared in the room.

"Ahh, Dimentio." Bowser greeted him. "How did it go?"

"I have tested them, and they have passed it." Dimentio said, his voice showing no emotion. "I believe I know the best way to defeat them. Don't worry, they won't last long. Evil will prevail over good, and no one can stop that."

"That's great!" Bowser exclaimed.

"I'll need some time to plan out a strategy for me." Dimentio said. "So you need to buy me some time."

"Very well, we'll keep the heroes busy, right Doc?"

"Indeed." Eggman nodded.

"That's good to hear. Well, now I'm off. Ciao!" Dimentio suddenly vanished.

"Now," Eggman turned to the table. "It's time to unleash my ultimate weapon! And nothing can stop it!"
