A massive green fist sinks into Giga Bowser's stomach. His jaw falls open as he makes a silent gasp. Another fist connects with his jaw, sending his head right back up. Giga Bowser stumbles backwards. His grip on Sonic loosens, allowing him to descend on to the ground.
"I'm outta here," he says as he runs off.
Giga Bowser grits his teeth and roars at the speeding hedgehog. But he is interrupted by another punch to his left cheek. Giga Mac shifts his feet back and forth in a taunting manner. He stands at Giga Bowser's chest but fighting bigger opponents has never been something he has shied away from.
Sonic skids to a halt in front of the rest of his allies.
"Mac's kicking his shell!" Sonic exclaims.
"But…" Marth begins.
"Why 'but?' I don't like buts. Well, not these kinds anyway."
"Giga Mac's will barely last a minute. And while he's able to hurt him, he's still not doing enough damage to guarantee a defeat. At this pace, he'll only be able to slow him down, only adding to his rage after Mac reverts back to his normal form."
A tremor shakes the stadium. The combatants observe the clash between the two behemoths. Giga Bowser slashes Giga Mac's left cheek. However, he recovers fast and delivers an earth shaking straight punch into his snout. Toon Link looks on in despair.
"Then…" Willard says with distraught in his face. "What do we do?"
A bright flame shines, catching everyone's attention. Captain Falcon rises from a knee, enamored in a crimson fire.
"We fight," he says. "As long as at least one of us takes a stand, there's hope. The only time there's a 100% chance of defeat is if we give in. And I refuse to accept that reality."
For a moment, only the sound of beastly grunts can be heard. Falco sighs.
"You know," he says. "I'm getting real sick of hearing your mouth. So from here on out…"
He raises two laser pistols.
"...It better start with 'Falcon.'"
Captain Falcon smiles.
Giga Mac is knocked on his back. Giga Bowser begins to fall towards him but is sent to the side by a right hook.
Why are those assholes just standing around and talking? He thinks as he struggles Giga Bowser, who in turn breathes flame on his face.
Lasers rain from above, striking Giga Bowser on his shell. However, this time he raises up in pain. He turns around to see the Arwing flying diagonally towards him. Several feet away, two figures hop out of the vehicle. Giga Bowser brings his left claw back to swipe at it. However, before he can make contact he sees paper crafted grenades attached by string. He looks up and sees Sheik in midair. She pulls her hands back, taking all of the pins off in the process. Ten tiny sky blue vortexes pull in Giga Bowser. An enormous explosion appears.
Falco looks up in shock. He presses a button on the head piece on the side of his head.
"And where the hell were you?"
Fox pulls out a red item capsule. Then he presses a button on his headpiece using his free hand.
"Saving your asses," he replies in a stoic manner.
Flame shoots out of the cloud. Giga Bowser stomps his way into visibility. However, he is grabbed by the shoulder by a green boxing glove from behind. He is sucked into the black cloud and a giant thud can be heard.
My friends, Zelda's voice rings inside the minds of every fighter present. Fret no more. The calvary has arrived.
Giga Mac stumbles backwards, falling over. Two claws strike his cheeks in succession.
Mac! Mewtwo shouts without any ounce of patience or sympathy. MOVE!
Giga Mac's head shoots up. He somersaults backwards. As Giga Bowser takes a step, a black cannon ball hits him in the back of the head.
The Koopalings with Kamek minus Larry close in quickly. Roy's Jr. Clown Car sprouts wheels and he speeds in, crashing into Giga Bowser's left foot. Wendy and Larry release Mecha Koopa bombs and Morton picks them up one at a time before launching them Giga Bowser's right shin. He looks down uninterested. Two clown cars fall on his head before exploding. Above him, Ludwig and Bowser Jr. fall towards their out of control father's head. When they arrive at his face, they pull out giant black hammers and swing down on his forehead.
Giga Bowser is now face to face with a very angry looking Lemmy. In his cocked back right hand is a red Bob-omb.
"This is for Larry!" he shouts at the top of his lungs. He shoves the Bob-omb into Giga Bowser's left nostril. It explodes in an instant. Lemmy reappears besides Iggy in a violet mist alongside Kamek.
Unfortunately, Giga Bowser doesn't seemed to be all that pleased by this sudden onslaught by his children and lackey. He reverts into his shell and rapidly spins towards them, sending each of them flying in several directions.
Fox throws the capsule towards Giga Mac. It breaks on him, and 5 Super Mushrooms come pouring out.
Giga Bowser looks down on the unconscious Koopalings with disdain. He snorts at the thought that these mere gnats thought they could stand up against him. He slowly turns around but is met with a fist the size of his head sinking into his right cheek. He is sent flying a few feet back before sliding on a hault. He lay on his shell, rubbing his cheek. Rectangular fragments of his skin fall of like a crumbled stone. Behind his wound is a black vortex. Spins in his shell into a savage fighting position, growling. His growling subsides as he looks up to a Giga Mac that stands half a torso taller than him.
Giga Mac now stands half a torso taller than Giga Bowser. He delivers an uppercut into his stomach, sending him a several feet into the air, but not high enough to knock him out. He lands on his shell, stunned from the pain of the blow. Giga Mac closes the gap between them in seconds and cocks his right arm back, intending to land a finishing blow. A crack appears on his stomach, oozing purple electricity.
To his surprise, Giga Bowser appears to be several times larger than him as he punches him in the stomach.
"What…?" Mac says with a sense of dread and despair. He looks at his normal sized arms in confusion.
Giga Bowser raises his head. He lifts his right hand towards Little Mac.
"Dammit Mac," Ike shouts "Get out of there!"
Giga Bowser swats his massive finger, plucking Little Mac. However, he uses his Counter, propelling him forward as he delivers an ineffective uppercut to the behemoth's jaw. He then hops over his head and runs off.
Captain Falcon, Ike, Marth, Sonic, and Samus dash towards the creature, spreading out in order to both distract him and gain a wide range of attack. Predictably, Sonic is the first to reach Giga Bowser. The behemoth timed Sonic's movements and lifted his foot as soon as the squad of fighters began running only to drop it once Sonic is in range. However, Sonic skidded before hand, stopping himself and giving him just enough time to change his path of running 180 degrees.
Next, Captain Falcon leaps into the air and delivers a Raptor Boost towards Giga Bowser's snout to no avail. Upon landing he is met with leisurely kick, knocking him several meters back. In the air, Ike and Marth prepare for an assault. Giga Bowser aggressively swats them away with his right arm and they sink into the dirt.
Ike slides into the base of the podium used to hit sandbag. He feels an immense pain coming from his head. For a few seconds, he is unable to open his eyes. He slowly opens them to a several blurry orange and blue lights. When his eyes regain their proper focus, he sees Samus, Sonic, Toon Link, Duke, Willard, Sheik, Fox, and Falco putting up their best defense against the seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Fox performs several flips in the air with Mario cocking his flame lit fist back next to him. Giga Bowser responds by spinning around in his shell and knocking them away in several directions. Ike tries to stand back up but is stopped by an unbearable pain coming from his right arm. He looks at it and sees that forearm lays limply in an unnatural angle. It is broken.
He sees Captain Falcon engaging Giga Bowser in a stare off several feet away from him. His torso bounces up and down with each pant. His entire body feels something like jello. Anybody can tell just by looking at him. However, instead of giving in to fatigue or even admitting that there is a slimmer of a chance that he might lose, he clenches his body up and fire enshrouds his body. This act can be perceived as a taunt but in reality, this was Captain Falcon's way of showing that he will not submit.
The behemoth took it as a sign of disrespect and charges forward. Captain Falcon does the same, jumping into the air to perform a The Knee. However, his timing is off and Giga Bowser was able to strike first, sending Captain Falcon hurtling across the air like a high speed missile.
Ike grunts and grits his teeth. "D…damn it," he spouts out. "This… wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this… not like this…"
"We're sorry…"
Ike turns to his left and sees Roy crawling towards him.
"This was...we were...we were just playing a stupid prank! It wasn't supposed to end up like this! We're sorry we let it get this far! It's all our fault...We're sorry! We're sorry...we're sorry…"
Roy keeps on repeating himself as he crawls over to Ike and hugs his side tightly, sobbing. Ike looks ahead.
He sees the bodies of the friends he has fought alongside with littered across the stadium. However, none of seem to interest Giga Bowser at the moment. He focuses on Ike groveling in pain. Slowly, he starts making his way over to him. The ground shakes with each step. A stream of sweat falls down Ike's temple. Then, Giga Bowser's pace slowly picks up as if to say "Yes, I could easily kill you now if I wanted to. But I want you to know. I want you to count down every millisecond to you inevitable demise. I want you to know that no matter what you do, you will die where you stand. And I want to memorize the look on your face as you let that fear sink in."
Then, Ike puts his left hand on Roy's head. Roy looks up to see him with a weak smile and blood falling past his forehead.
"No need to cry little one," he says. Using Roy's head as support and shakily stands up. He grabs his sword with his good arm and slowly walks forward. "I may not be left handed, but this will have to do." Giga Bowser stops in his tracks to observe.
"Wait, what are you doing?!" Roy protests.
"Get to a safe distance," Ike replies, ignoring Roy's question. "I'm not going to sit there and die while some child cries into my side." Ike squeezes his sword. He raises his arm and points it at the juggernaut several meters ahead. "Do you hear me, demon?! I don't care how many lives you've destroyed. I don't care how powerful you are. If you want to end my life, you're going to have to pry it from my cold. Dead. Hands! And it won't be easy."
A few feet away from Roy, Marth and Falco observe the scene before them.
Falco groans.
"Dammit, he's gonna get himself killed!" he says.
Ike spins his sword twice before holding it out in front of him.
"Now come, you ugly son of a bitch."
Giga Bowser's eyes widen in rage. He sprints forward. Fire spews out of his mouth as he roars. Ike charges forward, shouting as well. Roy reaches out to him.
Two figures jump into the air. The sky is painted orange as they collide.
But not for the reason you think. Let's rewind for a moment.
"HADOUKEN!"
An orange ball of energy shoots past Ike's side. Simultaneously, the fire in front of him is being absorbed into a blue sphere of light. Then, a red haired swordsman jumps into the air. He swings his sword upward and it catches on fire.
"Aim for his chest!" he shouts.
Ike changes the angle of his strike at the last second and goes for a downward strike. Together. The two strike Giga Bowser on the purple crack on his chest. Purple lightning and fire errupt as he roars as he stumbles backwards from a few feet.
After Ike lands, he looks around and sees a few familiar faces. Behind him he sees Mewtwo, Ness, Zelda, and male Robin. Lucas walks to his left with a smile. An stranger wearing a sleeveless white gi, no shoes, and a red headband shuffles to his right.
"Ah, well this isn't a pleasant surprise," Ike says. "I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be on the same battlefield as the legendary Ryu. I look forward to being your friend."
"Thank you," Ryu replies. "That's very humbling."
"What? I don't get a greeting?"
Ike turns to the red haired swordsman smirking at him.
Tears flow down Marth's eyes.
"No way…" Fox whispers in utter disbelief.
"Hey Marth. Don't tell me you're crying over a few boo boos?"
"Welcome back Roy," Marth responds with a smile.
"Uh," Roy, the koopaling, replies. "I never left…?"
"Don't think too hard about it, child," Mewtwo says.
A few seconds pass before Roy, the koopaling, puts it together.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
