Chapter 33: Four Victory!
Just two days remained until the winner of Survivor of the Smash was determined. Everyone's thoughts stirred within their head, paranoid over the chance of being voted out on the last day. They all had restless sleeps.
That is, except for Bowser, who woke up with a ghastly grin on his face and hopped off his bed of spikes as the Angry Sun rose (making sure to double check for Luigi, who was now gone.)
Bowser: Number 2 Mario and Fawful gone? I feel like I've won already! Victory sandwich!
Bowser trudged down the stairs towards the kitchen. Meanwhile, Meta Knight woke up afterwards after hearing the loud bangs of pots and pans downstairs, as he batted his bloodshot yellow eyes open. He was constantly fading in and out of sleep due to his paranoia of Samus cooking up a scheme to eliminate him. Samus herself was also in the same state, as she also woke up with tangled blond hair and bags under her eyes. She yawned and threw on her power suit. Meta Knight and Samus gave a hateful, but tired nod to each other as they walked down the stairs, before plopping on the couch near the TV. Samus sat on Waluigi by accident as plunked down, making him yelp and run out the doggie door installed for the purple man to go in and out as he pleased. Samus' eyes then paced around the room.
Samus: Look at him, watching me. Scheming.
Meta Knight let off a strained blink as the channel changed to the Pokedex channel, starring Mewtwo and his documentary on the Skitty and the Wailord.
Mewtwo: Hello fellow Pokémon advocates. Today we'll be studying the exquisite relationship of the Wailord and the Skitty. Watch as the Skitty wags her tail and the Wailord flops over to the Skitty! The Skitties are commonly seen as domesticated house kittens, and the Wailords travel in pods, not known the stray far from the pack. What an odd combination. Who would guess such different Pokémon could be friends? But the Wailords constant flopping movements have the Skitty enticed! What? W-What are you doing Wailord? Oh Arceus, I did not sign up for this!
Mewtwo fired a shadow ball at the Skitty and Wailord, sending them into the distance.
Mewtwo: ...This documentary section has been cut short to move onto the territorial wars between the Pincer and the Heracross! We'll be back, my fellow Pokémon connoisseurs!
Bowser was just finishing cooking Pidgey eggs and Grumpig bacon when Falcon came crashing down the stairs, falling and slamming into the walls with the 700 pound squat back and various free weights on his back, making a gigantic ear piercing slam and taking out a portion of the wall. Meta Knight almost hit the roof after jumping so bad before calming himself down. Samus let out a weak laugh.
Meta Knight: Falcon!
Falcon: I smelled bacon and my stomach did the rest of the talking! I swear, my stomach should be in my brain, and my brain where my stomach is? Wait that wouldn't work.
Meta Knight stomped his foot on the ground firmly.
Meta Knight: Falcon. Eat or workout. You're not doing both.
Falcon: Aww...I'll be back in a second.
Falcon slung the weights over his shoulder and went back upstairs. A split second later, Falcon bolted down again, eagerly awaiting his food.
Samus: Falcon, Bowser will cook food for all of us when he is ready, so don't push him! Isn't that right Bowser?
Bowser shouted from the kitchen while frying up another Grumpig ham.
Bowser: Yeah! Don't mess with the Koopa King- what? Aww dammit!
Bowser signed and threw a couple more hams on the grill, while Falcon tapped his foot.
Meta Knight: Falcon. Go find something productive to do.
Falcon: Got it!
Falcon dashed outside, and stared outside at the clouds, noticing a familiar ship dropping by onto the island. Once again, Rosalina failed to install an intruder barrier because "she loves every creature so much". The ship parked outside, spreading ashes around as the pilot hopped out in disgust.
Falco: Yeesh! This place is a dump since I last crashed here!
Chrom also hopped out of the pilot seat with a mail bag strapped around his shoulder.
Chrom: Thank you friend. I'm just doing my part to hand out the rest of these Smash Bros 4 invites to the rest of the cast. It's going to be great being in the new Smash Bros!
Falco snorted and looked at the blue haired swordsman.
Falco: Did you bring an original move set at all?
Chrom: …Enough! At least I got my invite now!
Falco rolled his eyes and spouted a line.
Falco: "Anything can change!"
Chrom: That's my line!
Falco laughed and walked towards the door.
Falco: I'm just going to pop by and visit. You can come in also and deliver the letters.
Chrom: Of course.
Falco began to walk to the door, and Chrom stopped for a moment to tie his shoe. When he looked back up, he jolted back and saw Falcon staring at him.
Falcon: Are you…a newcomer?!
Falcon took a step towards him and Chrom held his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Chrom: You are…
Falcon: The one who is about to challenge you!
Chrom smirked and brandished his sword.
Chrom: Great! I know your letter here says you're also in the newest game, like myself. This will be a good test to see if Nintendo made the right choice!
Falcon: Woohoo!
Falcon dashed at him, and Chrom's eyes widened in horror. Crashes and screams could be heard in the background as Falco plopped on the couch next to Waluigi. Falco was no longer a surprise to these All Stars. At all.
Bowser: Look, it's the loser couch! Bwahaha!
Falco sneered at the scaly turtle.
Falco: Don't try me. I just came to visit and bring my friend Chrom to deliver some letters. He should be in here any minute.
Waluigi whispered into Falco's ear. Well, more like shouting.
Waluigi: Pst. Hey. Falco. We can still pull a 2 person alliance, get someone else out on our side, and vote someone out! I've been on the outskirts of this game all along!
Falco looked at everyone else in confusion.
Falco: Does he always do this?
Meta Knight shook his head in disappointment.
Meta Knight: Yes. Every. Damn. Day.
Falco kicked his feet up on the coffee table and took another look around at the mansion again.
Falco: Not a bad place ya guys got here. Outside is a bit of a rag, but beggars can't be choosers right?
Meta Knight: Yeah…
Falco looked about ahead, and the room fell into an awkward silence.
Falco: I'm glad that Fawful guy is gone. He was a bit of a crazy one eh?
Samus: A comedy tool at best.
The room became silent again. Bowser meanwhile finished cooking a giant platter of Grumpig hams.
Bowser: Bwahaha! Lunch is served!
Everyone started to get up, until Bowser dumped the platter in his mouth.
Bowser: You thought that was for you guys? Good one!
Bowser waved the flying pan in the air, taunting them until Falco shot the pan out of his hand with his laser, causing the grease to burn his scales.
Bowser: Dammit! You greasy bird!
Everyone shared in a laugh, even Meta Knight almost did. But he contained himself with a lot of willpower.
Bowser: Don't you have anywhere else to be?!
Falco snorted and flipped his blaster in the air, scoffing at the thought.
Falco: Me? Ha! Me and the Star Fox gang have been dead for years!
Samus flicked through the TV channels and saw an E3 podcast on TV.
Samus: No, they actually just announced a new game for you guys.
Falco's eyes widened, and with a flurry of excitement, flew out the door (literally). He saw Chrom laying on the ground, sword broken in two, groaning in pain.
Chrom: I guess I'll fight…another day. Bleh.
Chrom fainted, and Falco shrugged as Falcon casually picked up the mail bag and gave a salute to Falco before heading off.
Falco: Oooh. He's in no condition to participate in Smash 4 now. He won't be happy about this! Oh well, I got a new game! Woohoo! My life finally has purpose!
Falco hopped in joy into the Arwing, taking the unconscious Chrom with him and eagerly calling all his friends as he flew off voluntarily for the first time ever in this contest.
Falco: 'Eeeeey, Lucina! Yeah babe, I got a new game coming out! Yeah, also your dad Chrom is kind of too weak to be in the next Smash Bros. Did you want to fill in for him? Nice, nice, sounds good, see you there sweet cheeks. Wait, what? You want to bring your boyfriend Robin? No, no! When did you start seeing that goofball?!
Falco sighed and shrugged.
Falco: I'm sure king Sakurai has heard the suggestion by now. And I was being cheated on.
Falco looked down in despair.
Falco: But I got a new game coming! Woohoo! Wooooooohoooooo! Life could not get better!
He grinned from ear to ear as he flew into the distance, squawking in joy the whole way.
Falcon meanwhile, brought the mailbag in and sifted through the important mail before burning the rest with his fiery fists.
Falcon: Sorry! I broke Chrom! Won't be seeing him in the next Smash Bros! Anyways, here you go buddies!
Falcon whipped a letter to Samus, Bowser, and tucked his letter in his holster next to the abandoned gun and veggies.
Bowser: Alright, the Koopa King is back in action! Bwahaha! I get to inflict pain and suffering once again!
Samus also let off a satisfied smirk at her invitation. Meta Knight looked around in a panic.
Meta Knight: My letter?
Falcon shrugged.
Falcon: Nope, didn't see it! I'm sure you made it in though!
Falcon gave Meta Knight an encouraging slap on the back, leaving a slight burn on his back. Meta Knight grumbled in annoyance. Bowser, in a rare moment, decided to go workout, and trudged up to the weight room in glory.
Meta Knight: Studies.
Meta Knight dashes up around the corner, past the art gallery and into the library section of the mansion. Samus got up, and Falcon walked out of the kitchen while chewing a Cucco drumstick.
Falcon: I don't like to be a stick in the mud, but it's your turn to feed Waluigi today!
Waluigi's ears perked up, hearing the word food. Samus sighed, but nonetheless took this opportunity to try and work Falcon over closer to her.
Samus: Oh, how foolish of me to forget about Waluigi!
Samus began to prepare an eggplant mush for the lanky purple man, and Falcon was creating a Jammin Jelly protein shake with the blender.
Samus: Say Falcon, has you ever considered Meta Knight a threat?
Falcon scratched his chin and looked at her. He never thought of anyone in the competition as any form of a threat to him.
Samus: Let me rephrase that: Who is most likely to win a challenge besides yourself?
Falcon: Ooh! I know this one! Uhhh, you!
Samus was about to protest again and rephrase her question, but noted that Falcon thought differently than most competitors. He voted for people who failed in challenges the most, as indicated by Luigi's elimination the night before.
Samus: Correct. I consider Bowser slightly more of a threat than Meta Knight. So why not help me vote for that weakling? We want a strong final 3, right?
Falcon nodded his head.
Falcon: Hmm…
Meta Knight was busy reading the fine selection of books within the mansion's abandoned library. Falcon had his weight room, Bowser had his kitchen, Samus had the art gallery, and Meta Knight preferred the library. The candle lights flickered as he read up on some of the past competitors of the competition, attempting to find links to connect with his remaining opponents. All of these observations were recorded by none other than the eye in the sky, Lakitu.
Meta Knight: "Jigglypuff. Voted out 3rd. Made no significant moves or allies during the course of the competition. Tends to sleep. Untapped power, but otherwise useless. Recently possessed during an invasion to capitalize on strength, but has now been cured. Spends current days sleeping."
Meta Knight shrugged and flicked through some more pages.
Meta Knight: Fox, nope. Ness, nope. Hmm, no DK Junior in this book.
Finally, he scrolled to a page of interest: Link.
Meta Knight: "Link. Voted out 8th. Silent. Strong and intelligent, but failed team due to chivalrous."
Meta Knight: Good man.
Meta Knight found his sentence of ultimate interest though:
Meta Knight: "Got Bowser to confide a secret into him. Has never told a soul."
Meta Knight: Golden. He can be worked.
With a moment's haste, he dashed up the stairs past Falcon and Samus, and peeked inside to see Bowser doing a squat with his powerful legs.
Bowser: Damn stupid weight! Graahhhh!
Bowser thrusted upwards, but the weights collapsed back down upon him, leaving him sprawled on the floor.
Bowser: Ugh…how does that freak Falcon do it?
Bowser's head then darted towards Meta Knight at the doorway, analysing him the whole time.
Bowser: What do you want you blue punk!?
Meta Knight: Peace. I have a proposal.
Bowser sneered and turned his back.
Bowser: Here he comes, looking for votes again! Will it benefit me? Yada yada yada! I'm already safe, I'm just going to flip a coin for this next vote, bwahaha!
Meta Knight nodded his head slowly, then looked at Bowser's posture. During this competition, it has been hunched over, improper and a bit painful.
Meta Knight: Turn.
Bowser snorted at looked in confusion.
Bowser: Like hell! Never turn your back on a swindler like you! Huh?
Bowser didn't notice Meta Knight was gone, and teleported behind him. Meta Knight aimed carefully, and slammed the tip of his blade right into his shell. The impact made Bowser shoot up and yelp in pain, while straightening his spine.
Bowser: Gaaah! That's it, I'm eating you for an afternoon snack!
Bowser ran at Meta Knight, only to notice he reached him much faster than expected.
Bowser: W-What? I'm faster!
Meta Knight: Yes. I fixed your posture. You're welcome.
Bowser: Than- I mean whatever! What do I owe you now?!
Meta Knight was already gone, smirking all the way under his mask.
Bowser: Hmm…
As Meta Knight and Bowser rejoined Falcon and Samus in the main lounge downstairs, they sat around, now bored.
Samus: Shouldn't we have started a challenge by now? It's kind of late.
Falcon: Yeah! I'm running low on my challenge nutrient! It can only been obtained from doing challenges!
Falcon tapped his foot, and brushed some ashes off his shoulder from the burnt letters before. Surely enough, Rosalina came with her Lumas, floating gracefully to the ground.
Rosalina: Today is your last challenge before the final 3. I do hope you all have been paying attention to the events throughout the contest!
Falcon: We did challenges! Oh, and other stuff.
Meta Knight face palmed, and the final 4 was lifting off to field, Battlefield. Propped there were four booths, one on each platform. The Lumas landed, and Eggplant Wizard, Vivi, and Bandana Dee were each in one of these booths.
Rosalina: Today, we will remember our fallen contestants. You have all outwitted, outplayed, outlasted all of them.
Samus: Except Bowser. He coat tailed.
Bowser growled and towered over Samus, he looked quite daunting with his need straight stature.
Bowser: At least I didn't skip half the game being brought back in by random lottery, peon!
Samus: I…I…damn.
Bowser smirked from his retaliation. Maybe he's getting more oxygen to his head.
Rosalina: Ok settle down now! Today we will be playing a little game show! Here, we have four podiums. You will all be answering questions given to you about past contestants and events given to you in this game! I'll show you an example of how elimination works here.
Rosalina turned her head to the demo contestants.
Rosalina: *ahem* what character became possessed during the invasion of the Shadows?
Vivi, Bandana Dee, and Eggplant Wizard typed in an answer on their keypads installed to their podium. Then, their answers were revealed.
Rosalina: Vivi is correct with Jigglypuff! Bandana Dee and Eggplant Wizard are wrong with Wario and…may I buy a vowel?
Eggplant Wizard: Yeah, I'm still waiting for it-
Bandana Dee and Eggplant Wizard were instantly frozen by a Freezie popping out of midair.
Rosalina: If you are frozen, you cannot participate in the next round. Then, you are unfrozen and if you fail twice in a row, you're out!
Rosalina turned towards the unfrozen Vivi, and asked another question.
Rosalina: Which third party character was eliminated first? Sonic or Snake?
Vivi sweated, his yellow eyes darting.
Vivi: I w-wasn't here to see that. Uh…
Vivi typed in an answer, hoping for the best.
Rosalina: You answered Sonic. Correct!
Vivi hopped in delight, and unfroze the other two with firaga.
Rosalina: If you get the second one wrong, you're hit with a Bomb-Omb and blasted back to camp! First person to win 10 points or last one standing wins! Got it?
The four finalists nodded their heads in confirmation. Falcon took the top platform (after scrapping with Bowser for it), Meta Knight and Samus took the left and right middle platform podiums, and Bowser took the bottom one.
Rosalina: Let's get started! First question, who-
Eggplant Wizard: MY vowel! Come on, I spent $50 for that vowel, give it to me guys!
Bandana Dee: Oh I'll give you a vowel alright…
Bandana Dee pressed a button on the console responsible for dropping Bomb Ombs and Freezies, and a Bomb Omb dropped right into Eggplant Wizard's hands, blasting him back to the REJECTION ROOM. Rosalina snatched the controls from him.
Rosalina: Shame on you! No Star Bit Cake for you later.
Bandana Dee: But! Aww…
Rosalina: Anyways, who was the first place winner of the F Zero challenge?
The All Stars tacked in their answers, and all answered Falcon.
Falcon: Oh guys, you're too kind!
Bowser shouted from his bottom podium.
Bowser: It's a fact you damn idiot, not a complement!
Falcon: I know, winning is always a fact to me!
Falcon smirked, and Rosalina asked another question.
Rosalina: Falcon is correct! That's 1 for everyone! *sigh* if only you could all win. Question 2: What giant creature attacked the Squadrons during their trip to collect food in the sea?
Meta Knight had to think hard, not being on the Squadrons at all. The other three answered Gyrados hidden on their monitors, and were waiting on Meta Knight.
Falcon: You can do it buddy! The answer is Gyrados!
Meta Knight nodded his head, and typed in Gyrados also, saved by Falcon's stupidity.
Samus: Keep answers to yourself! Do you want him to win?!
Rosalina: Yes, Falcon. That will be a warning. No shouting out answers please. Two all! Question 3, which three characters were NOT voted out of the game at least once?
Samus quickly keyed in herself, Roy, and Mewtwo, being the victim of Dr. Mario's bad drugs herself. Bowser and Meta Knight also answered Mewtwo, Roy, and Samus. Falcon however, chose…
Falcon: Definitely Mewtwo, Roy, and Zelda! We all remember that time I elbowed her in the gut, and Zelda blew up like a balloon and skipped half the competition? Goooood times-
Falcon was frozen on the spot by a freezie.
Meta Knight: How? Just how?
Samus: Considering HE was the one who did that to me, I have no idea. He's just stupid. Sometimes I wonder if him or Bowser is smarter.
Bowser snarled from below her.
Bowser: Keep it up! I'll show you who's smarter you cybernetic bimbo! Bwahaha!
Rosalina: Things are heating up! That's 3 for everyone but Falcon! Question 4: Who crossed the finish line first in race to the finish challenge? This is first out of both teams.
This one made everyone think for a moment. Meta Knight, calling back to his readings and observations, chose Sonic. Bowser also chose Sonic. Samus however, chose Falcon.
Samus: That muscle head always wins challenges, wouldn't be surprised-
Samus was frozen by a freezie. Falcon thawed and laughed heartily.
Falcon: Ha! I know when I'm beat in speed, and Sonic's game revolves around that! …I miss being the fastest runner.
Rosalina: Bowser and Meta Knight at 4! Samus and Falcon at 3! Next question: Who did Stanley hate the most in this game?
Meta Knight pondered, before choosing Fawful. Bowser also wrote down the same answer.
Bowser: Like I could blame him! I did too!
Falcon however, struggled to come up with an answer.
Bandana Dee: 5…4…3…2…
Falcon: Uh…Pokémon Trainer?
Falcon was incorrect, and a Bom Omb dropped from above, star Koing him back to camp.
Rosalina: The answer was Fawful. Secretly, he thought of the Pokémon Trainer like a son. Shh, don't tell him I told you guys that though!
She giggled innocently, then asked another question as Samus thawed. She thought to herself in her head.
Samus: Perfect, A big threat is gone. Now if Meta Knight goes out, this challenge is in the bag!
Rosalina: This question was gathered from votes from our former contestants! Which character was perceived as the biggest threat prior to elimination?
Meta Knight pondered, then wrote down Samurai Goroh. Bowser and Samus chose Mewtwo.
Rosalina: Mewtwo is right! Samurai Goroh was the 2nd most voted though. Sorry there's no half points sweetie!
Meta Knight was frozen, and Bowser cackled below.
Samus: Lucky guesses, oaf!
Bowser: Sorry, I couldn't hear you over my score!
Rosalina: That means Samus and Meta Knight are at 4, Bowser at 5! Next question: Which 2 characters were eliminated at the double elimination?
Bowser and Samus looked in horror, only able to write down Megaman. Both were frozen on the spot.
Rosalina: DK Junior was the other contestant! Was he really that forgettable? Poor guy!
Meta Knight thawed, and only he could answer the next question.
Rosalina: Meta Knight, what was the name of Luigi's "Alt Star?"
Meta Knight wrote down the name, feeling uneasy doing so.
Rosalina: Yes! Weegee is right!
Weegee quietly hovered through the clouds above, staring.
Rosalina: 5 for Bowser and Meta Knight. 4 for Samus. Which character has made the most cameos on the island so far?
Meta Knight, Bowser, and Samus lowered their eyes and wrote Falco, having just saw him today.
Rosalina: Nice, an all-around agreed on question! Meta Knight and Bowser, 6. Samus, 5. Next question! What character was the last one voted out before the merge?
All of them began contemplating. Bowser began counting on his fingers. Then, they answered.
Rosalina: The answer is Wario! You got it right Bowser and Meta Knight! As for Samus…
Samus soon became encased in ice. After the next question, the score stood at 8-8-5.
Samus: I don't want to lose to pea brained Bowser now.
Bowser: Pea brained? My genius matches my daunting good looks!
Rosalina: It's anyone's game now! Next question: Who won the reward/immunity challenge?
Meta Knight and Bowser quickly keyed in Game and Watch. Both their scores were at 9, and Samus thawed out at 5. Meta Knight began to sweat a little while looking at Bowser's tied score.
Bowser: Who knew the King of Koopas was both dashing and smart? Hard to find in a man!
Bowser winked at Samus, who groaned in protest.
Rosalina: Bowser or Meta Knight can win this now! My heart is pounding!
Bandana Dee and Vivi passed a bag of popcorn around in anticipation.
Rosalina: Here's a big one! It's been quite a few days back since you guys were at your auditions for this competition…
Samus: Oh yeah…those.
Meta Knight and Bowser looked blank.
Rosalina: Name one competitor that didn't make the cut! It can be anyone at the auditions that missed the plane!
No one could even write down an answer, as they all rubbed their chins in contemplation.
Rosalina: 5…4…3…2…
In a panic, everyone wrote down a name. Meta Knight's eyes flared red as he wrote down his name in haste.
Rosalina: Meta Knight…you wrote down Peach. Samus, you wrote down Young Link…and Bowser, you wrote down Kirby. What chose you all to pick these names?
Meta Knight flared in anger at Kirby's name.
Meta Knight: Kirby! I'll eviscerate him head to…head!
Everyone cocked an eyebrow at him.
Meta Knight: Random.
Samus: Random.
Bowser: He never made the plane ride! Don't you guys remember? Him, Ice Climbers, Ness…
Everyone looked at Bowser, jaw agape.
Rosalina: T-That's correct. I can't believe it, but Bowser won, in a contest of knowledge!
Bowser: Bwahaha! I knew it was all in my posture! You're looking at a new, devastating koopa!
Meta Knight looked away, dismayed. Samus looked furious under her helmet.
Vivi: C-Congrats on your win Meta Knight. This is D-Definitely needed, you're now in the final 3.
Rosalina: So choose wisely! Who will be the right choice to eliminate? Meta Knight? Samus? Or Falcon?
Bowser: If only I could eliminate them all now…
He sighed in a daze, then pumped his fist and hopped on Waluigi, who flew into the scene just now.
Waluigi. W-Wa! I missed the final challenge?! Waaaaa! I'm vulnerable! I must rely on my awe inspiring tactics to stay alive, being such a massive threat- Bleh!
Bowser: Away! To the campsite! How far is it!?
Bandana Dee: Well you're travelling by Waluigi so I would say… a few days.
Bowser scratched his chin.
Bowser: Screw it, I quit this game. Too far.
Bowser hopped off the stage, and Waluigi plummeted under his massive weight, straight down back to camp.
Rosalina: Err…everyone else, take the Lumas. See you at the REJECTION ROOM. Tehe I love saying that! Oh, You'll find that I found a few farmers from Harvest Moon to repair your beach. It looks beautiful now!
Meta Knight and Samus boarded a Luma, and floated gracefully back to camp. A Waluigi shape indent was left in the beach, and Bowser crawled out of it to look upon the radiant trees, bountiful forest life, and aural flowers that surrounded E. Gadd's mansion before them.
Bowser: This place looks like a dump!
Bowser spat on the ground, and joined Falcon in the living room, who was watching some F-Zero car racing on TV.
Falcon: Yeeeeeah! You speed past that other car! Oh, I see Goroh on TV! Goroohhhhh!
He hollered as he saw another racer, Mr EAD, get rammed off the track by another racer and his car burst into flames.
Falcon: Woooooooooooooooah! Look at that explosion! He's…he's definitely dead. Man. F-Zero racing is dark.
Falcon flicked off the TV and saw Bowser, with the immunity Nintendo symbol around his neck.
Falcon: Woah, you won again?! You're going to be some great competition in the end! Knee five!
Falcon slammed his knee against Bowser's, making him slam into the wall.
Bowser: Dammit Falcon! Aren't you supposed to be angry you didn't win for once?!
Falcon: Ahh, I should! But I realized a real winner needs to lose some battles, and then win the war!
Bowser: Hmph. Talk from a loser.
Falcon: See you in the finals!
Samus slammed open the door, and stormed right up to her room. But not before grabbing Bowser and Falcon by the scruff of their necks and threw them into her room. Meta Knight looked above confused, before heading to the art gallery to relax.
Bowser: This is it! She's be fighting her urges so long that she's going to let us have it! I've been waiting for this day…
Bowser puckered his lips, and Samus shoved her cannon in his mouth.
Samus: You two are not going to associate with Meta Knight. We are voting him out. So, we will just stay in this nice little room until it's time to go!
Falcon: But I was going to vote with you anyways Samus!
Samus: Really? W-Well I'm not going to risk it! Stay put!
Samus pulled up a chair and honed her blaster on the two. From under her helmet, her eye was twitching.
Samus: I just lost to Bowser in a knowledge challenge, and I can't risk that little bat Meta Knight plotting. Who knows what he is thinking right now…
Meta Knight sat in the library, reading over his acceptance letter for Smash 4 that just came in the mail.
Meta Knight: Sweet.
He looked to the upper rooms to hear a scream from Bowser and Falcon. He opened the door and shouted above.
Meta Knight: Reading!
Meta Knight sighed and stared at his paper.
Meta Knight: It shall fall into place.
The All Stars arrived at the REJECTANCE ROOM, as Rosalina, Vivi, Eggplant Wizard, and Bandana Dee stared at the 4 remaining contestants. Samus was smirked, Meta Knight looked stern. Bowser and Falcon looked cocky.
Rosalina: So the final 4? After this vote comes one last challenge to determine the winner of this competition! How do you feel making it all this way everyone?
Meta Knight: Accomplished.
Bowser: Like I ever had to worry!
Falcon: Falcon…uhh…I can't think of another good catchphrase right now.
Samus: Confident. I'm not going home at this stage of the game!
Vivi: D-Do you consider the fact that anything can happen at this council, Samus?
Samus smirked under her helmet.
Samus: I made sure of it.
Rosalina: This should be an interesting vote, you're first Bowser!
Bowser stood up, stretching his newly acquired posture and walking triumphal over to the voting pot. Samus, Meta Knight, and Falcon did the same. Rosalina then sent Eggplant Wizard to grab the pot for her.
Bandana Dee: Good thinking. He is past his bed time anyways.
Rosalina hovered the pot and began reading the votes.
Rosalina: First vote: Meta Knight.
Samus smirked, cracking her knuckles.
Rosalina: Second and third vote: Samus.
Samus: What?!
Rosalina: And the final person to be voted out of this game…is a tie! It's 2-2 for Meta Knight and Samus! So, how shall we handle this tie? Not by a coin toss this time, that's for sure!
Samus: I don't care how, just let me win this now!
Meta Knight: Try.
Rosalina: Ok, I got it! We will use the last question I had prepared for the challenge! It's a tough one! So first one to say the correct answer wins! Speak quickly so you can get the answer before your opponent. But don't answer too quickly, if you say the wrong answer you lose! So, be careful.
Meta Knight tensed up, and Samus slammed her cannon into the ground in adrenaline.
Samus: Go! Hurry up bimbo!
Samus clearly wasn't used to being voted for.
Rosalina: Settle down Samus! Ok, the question is…who is the purple guy living with you on the island at the moment?
Meta Knight and Samus looked dumbfounded.
Eggplant Wizard: Could it be me? I'm purple! I do tend to egg walk a lot!
Samus thought long and hard, recalling back to an event earlier in the morning with Falcon.
"Falcon: I don't like to be a stick in the mud, but it's your turn to feed Waluigi today!"
Samus mumbled under her breath.
Samus: Waluigi…Waluigi…
Samus: Wal- wait, why am I trusting Falcon? He's an idiot! Should I really use that answer?
Samus sweated, struggling to finish.
Samus: T-That can't be right! But do I really have a choice! Should I trust that moron?
Falcon: Yes, should you trust that moron?
Bowser: I wouldn't.
Samus: *Sigh*. The answer is-
Meta Knight: Waluigi.
Rosalina: Well, Waluigi was it. Hmm, it looked like you had the answer there Samus, should have stuck with it! It was a valiant return for you, but alas, you are the final elimination from Survivor of the Smash: Nintendo.
Falcon put a hand on her shoulder in encouragement.
Falcon: You made it this far, right?
Samus shucked off Falcon's hand, and threw her helmet to the ground, revealing her beautiful, but very red elegant face.
Samus: No! I had it! I could Falcon know his name but not me? I'm the smartest, most beautiful and strongest opponent left! But no, I got humiliated by Meta Knight, Falcon and Bowser today? Wait…
Samus looked at Bowser's face, refraining a smile.
Samus: You!
Samus stood up and shoved her cannon under his scaly chin.
Samus: You voted for me! I knew it you! I should have never trusted a creature with scales!
Samus was fuming with rage now, and Bowser growled in retort.
Bowser: What do you mean by creatures with scales? It's even funnier because I tried quitting 3 times, and I still made it further! After all, can't have a finale without me right?
Samus: Are you mocking my survival skills?!
Rosalina: Err, Samus, let's just calm down and head to the cannon.
Samus: Not until I blow up this traitor sky high!
Samus charged her cannon, and was about to fire until she felt herself being pushed back all the sudden, hearing a popping sound.
Samus: What was tha-MMMPH!
Falcon: Good thing he had that P Balloon!
Samus was indeed hit by a P Balloon from Bowser. She quickly in one swift motion, burst out of her armor and once again filled up and out with air, expanding akin to a balloon to the size of a tank and beginning to float off the ground.
Bowser: Not if I "Blow you up" first!
Meta Knight: Solid.
He patted Bowser on the back for his pun, and ZSS busted through the roof, wiggling her arms and feet in rage, screaming through her bloating cheeks full of air.
ZSS: MMMPH! Mmmph! MPH MPH! (Oh real original, inflating me again?! I won't forget this! Ahhhhhh!)
ZSS floated off into the horizon as the sun set, and Falcon sent her farewell with a salute.
Meta Knight: Poor loser.
Rosalina: I never saw it coming…well, congrats you three! Bowser, Meta Knight, and Falcon. You are our final three! One of you will acquire the title of Nintendo's mascot tomorrow, so sleep well and be prepared!
Meta Knight shook Falcon and Bowser's hand, with Bowser crushing his before slamming his and Falcon's backs with his claws.
Bowser: Bwahaha. Handshakes are for wimps! Time to trounce you losers tomorrow!
Falcon: With my challenge prowess? See you at the finish line!
Meta Knight: Bring it.
Votes:
Meta Knight: Samus
Bowser: Samus
Falcon: Meta Knight
Samus: Meta Knight
Meta Knight: Close. Time to win!
Falcon: Careful not to underestimate us Samus! There's a reason we made it this far!
Bowser: Bwahaha. Betrayal. Best part of the game! May as well plan my victory speech.
Final words, Samus: MMMMPH! (So close! When I deflate, I swear I'll have my revenge!)
(There you have it folks! Your final 3! But, I bet some of you are wondering about the auditions, right? What did happen to Kirby, Ice Climbers, Ness, and a few others? Don't care? Too bad cause I'm making that chapter before the finale anyways! Next chapter: Auditions!)
