Third-Person POV
Insert Song: Hidden Technology (Sonic Frontiers)
"Phantom Ruby?" Yamcha asked Sonic.
Sonic began to explain what it was, "To keep it short and not-so-sweet, a gem that can warp space and time. The last time it was around, the world was easily conquered by Eggman and that edgy lackey of his, Infinite."
Bucky then walked closer to the kids, who were still shaken up by that energy they released.
"Makes sense that they used that thing to open these rifts and can travel to other worlds, but how does that explain what happened to these two?"
"Yeah! We went through those projectors and we turned out just fine… at least I think we are." Yamcha chimed in.
That's when Wendy recalled something before getting sucked into the portal.
"Um… what if that projector wasn't… stable?"
"Not stable?" Sonic raised an eyebrow.
Stan's eyes widen as he starts to remember as well, "Oh right, those Murder Pandas were talking about how the projector got all fucked up!"
"Ok first off, watch your language kid, secondly why would you two go anywhere near it when it was like that?" Bucky scolded the young couple.
"Hey it's not our fault, Wendy got sucked in and I had to go after her! Plus those bears were gonna kill our asses anyway!" Stan defended his actions.
Yamcha put his hands on his hips as he decided to give his own two cents about this.
"It's still super dangerous for a bunch of kids, now you're stuck in a different universe and have some weird phantom energy thing inside you!"
"D-Different universe?" Wendy responded with shock.
Bucky sighed, "We'll explain later. Just stay put for now and don't mess with anything. We'll be sure to figure things out once the games are over and done with."
The metal-armed super soldier exited the infirmary, Yamcha and Mario joining him.
Right before Sonic could leave though, he stopped for a second.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to make sure you get home and get back to normal. For now I'm off to find someone to keep an eye on you kids, okay? Enjoy the olympics!"
And on that encouraging statement by the hedgehog, the two kids were left sitting there like you typically do before a doctor's appointment.
Stan looks to his girlfriend with a concerned look, "You know, we've been through and seen some serious shit before this… but this is definitely up there with the whole Satan coming to Earth thing."
"Definitely, it's just as bad as the whole 'MItch Conner' time travel thing." Wendy nodded.
"Ugh, don't remind me of that…" Stan groaned.
To put it in simple terms, it was not Waluigi's day.
All his attempts to steal the spotlight from the heroes from other worlds all ended with him as a runner-up on the podium, or near dead last. In the fencing event he got eliminated early on by Amy Rose, while Blaze skillfully took home the gold. Yamcha managed to get his revenge for the banana peel slip-up to knock him out in karate, and Bucky used his sniper skills to outdo the lanky troublemaker in archery. Even Scott managed to use his ant-riding skills to good use during the equestrian event!
Add on the previous failure in the relay race and having to be rescued during freestyle swimming, and the frustration just increased more and more.
"Argh, cheaters!" He grumbled to himself as the final event of the day was starting.
His partner Wario however, was grinning from ear to ear as he rubbed his hands together.
"Bah! Don't get yourself too worked up! I have a secret weapon that will help us win all the gold! WAHAHAHAHA!"
Football or Soccer as many call it, four members on each team with Team Mario having a Birdo as a goalie, while Team Sonic has an Egg Pawn as theirs. Masaomi, Michiru, Yamcha, and Blaze rounded out the first team, Waluigi, Wario, Mario, and Luigi represented the second team.
"Wah? What kinda thing is it? Lemme see now!" Waluigi demanded as he moved in closer to Wario's duffel bag.
"Hey hey! Only Wario knows how to use this, you don't even know what it does!" Wario pushes him away forcefully.
"Come on, Waluigi can't let those cheaters win more medals!"
Waluigi pulls the bag towards himself, but just as he was about to get a better view at the "secret weapon"...
"Hey Stinky! Over here!" Mario called the (unrelated) Wario Bros. over to their side of the field.
Wario scowls at his rival before zipping up the bag, "Patience Waluigi, you will see what this baby can do later. I'm going to SMASH those losers into the ground, WAHAHA!"
Waluigi just scoffed as he crossed his arms and walked away, "Yeah yeah…"
Their team began to stretch out their limbs as Blaze called her teammates over for a strategy meeting.
"Waluigi is most likely going to attempt some manner of trickery once again, so be prepared for his antics." She told them.
Masaomi was stretching his legs out, "Seriously, it's gotten way too out of hand! Can't he just give up and try to win the right way?"
Yamcha shrugged, "He did a few times, but even then he got all cocky and tried taunting us, which ended up making him lose anyways! It's probably like you said earlier, kid, he's just doing it for attention."
"Hm…"
Michiru pondered to herself as she still held onto the thought of the purple mustachioed scoundrel not being as awful as he comes across. She had to put her thinking on hold for now, as the event was commencing.
Both teams were at the ready, all of them staring each other down intensely right before…. The kickoff!
Insert Song: Main Menu (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)
Right out of the gate Masaomi's got the ball, making his way to the opposite goal up until Luigi steals it with a slide.
"Oh yes! Go Weegee!" The green plumber cheered himself on as he passed it to his brother.
"I've got this one, hyah!" Yamcha attempts a quick slide of his own, but Mario hops over his leg with ease.
"Got it! Yahoo!" Mario lands the first goal of the match and celebrates with a triple jump.
"Damn, sorry about that." Masaomi apologized to his team.
"Nah, it's my bad too." Yamcha did the same as he brushed the grass off his shorts.
The highlights of the shot were shown on the screens of the stadium as the crowd was getting fired up. This short viewing allowed for Blaze to see what went wrong.
"No apologies needed, we have plenty more chances left. Yamcha, let's trade positions, and Masaomi stay where you are and provide support to us. Michiru you step in from the rear when you see a good opportunity."
"Will do!" The tanuki girl nodded, as did the two boys.
The game continued on as normal, it was pretty even too. Neither team held the advantage over the other for too long, making it far too difficult to guess who would win or lose. The crowd was still red hot despite this. Eventually the first half ended with a tie game of 7-6, with Team Mario in the lead by a single goal.
After a short break to drink water and rest their legs, everyone got to their positions once more, but before the next kickoff began the skinny swindler walked over to our heroes.
"Don't let those other wins go to your head! This time, Waluigi is ready to become a true superstar! Eh-heh-heh!"
Michiru decided to confront him this time, "Is being the best really what you want? Would it even be worth it if you cheated your way into doing it, instead of doing it the hard way?"
Waluigi glared at her in response, "Eh? Everyone is a cheater, except for me! Furry girl is trying to trick Waluigi, once this is all done I will be a LIVING LEGEND! Waluigi needs nothing else…"
Michiru grunted as she went back to the rear.
"Nothing else, huh? Maybe you should consider how those dumb tricks of yours affect how everyone sees you. Stop lying to yourself and try to be better, then maybe you'll find some other way to become a 'living legend'."
She emphasized the last two words with air quotes just to annoy the scoundrel as he grumbled to himself.
"'Some other way', bah! This is the only way. Once Waluigi is a general, I'll have everyone worship me… it'll be Waluigi Time all the time…"
Michiru's beastman ears managed to pick up a bit of what he whispered there, in particular that one key word.
"'General' does that mean he's…"
"Michiru, get your head in the game!" Masaomi told her.
"Uh, sorry!" She quickly apologized before quickly making her way back into her spot on the grassy field.
"Hmph, no signs of these Monokumas roaming about just yet."
Shadow walked the streets of Paris, not alone however as he decided to have some backup firepower in the form of Team Dark teammate E-123 Omega.
"Destroying these mechanical ursids will take very little effort." The former Eggman robot told the Ultimate Lifeform.
Shadow grunted in disagreement, "Even if that were true, try not to be too reckless. Remember what happened during that one recon mission where you decided to destroy all of the badniks within that single base?"
"I cannot seem to recall that particular mission, perhaps it has been wiped from my memory banks." Omega tells him.
"Tch, liar." Shadow scoffed.
"I was not programmed with the ability to present false information. Lies can destroy bonds between people, but bullets can destroy robots faster." Omega bluntly stated.
Shadow just ignored him as he saw something beginning to appear above the Eiffel Tower. A portal in the sky, beginning to rain down Monokuma units like a bad storm. Toads, Koopas, Flickies, and more were running away as quickly as they could, while the two members of Team Dark rushed in to assist. Considering that the tower was an important landmark, it had an unsurprisingly large number of tourists in its vicinity.
"Get out of the city now, warn everyone indoors and those still at the stadium. Everyone needs to evacuate or risk their own safety." Shadow tells the innocent bystanders as they rush past him.
Omega's arm cannons have been fully loaded and ready to blast some bears.
"I am prepared to make swiss cheese out of these inferior droids."
Shadow groaned at that, "Did Sonic tell you that one? I would not be surprised if he had."
"Indeed, now let us have a blast." On that note Omega began shooting wildly at the group of Beast Monokumas.
"Ugh, I need to remind myself to delete THOSE from your memory banks. Hm?"
CRASH!
Landing directly in front of the Eiffel Tower itself was the giant mech designed by Eggman Nega, with the doctor himself presently displayed inside its head.
"Eggman Nega… as if having the Doctor here wasn't enough we have to deal with his other-dimensional descendant." Shadow shook his head with disdain.
"Any version of Dr. Eggman deserves the same treatment as the original, to have his inferior machines torn apart by my arsenal." Omega's eyes glowed a bright red as he opened fire with his machine guns.
Despite the usage of explosive rounds, the Eggkuma remained unharmed.
"Ah, you look to be one of my relative's old E-Series robots! Another failure by that wretched imbecile for me to eradicate!" Eggman Nega says directly to Omega's robotic face.
That managed to tick the murder bot off and he switched to his bigger guns, powerful laser cannons. They do manage to knock the giant bear mech off its feet, though once again there's not a single scratch left on it.
"It's strong, if I had to guess… it's running on Chaos Energy." Shadow speculates.
The doctor however shook his head, "You're only half correct on that end, my dear foe, yet I will not bother explaining what else my beautiful creation is running on. For now I will simply use it to bring havoc and despair to this world, as well as ALL OTHER WORLDS! OH HO HO HO HO HO!"
"Not letting that happen. Omega, go warn the others about Nega's arrival, I'll take care down many of these Monokumas down in a single move." Shadow began to glow a bright red, charging up a powerful attack.
"As much as it is painful to leave without a single shot of mine damaging his inferior machines, I shall retreat for now. Do not die… again." Omega stated as he took off using his jet boosters.
Shadow nodded as he stared daggers at Eggman Nega as both him and the army of Monokuma units charged forward towards him.
"CHAOS… BLAST!"
Insert Song: Purple Comet (Super Mario Galaxy)
Back on the football field, it's a tie game in the last half. 2 minutes left on the clock as the teams go back and forth in taking the ball from one another.
"Huff, huff… Masaomi, take it now!" Michiru told the blonde.
He receives the ball and tries his best to avoid the wall of fat and muscle that is Wario charging from behind him.
"Somebody else take it! Don't wanna deal with fatso over here!" The young teen calls over to his teammates.
"Wario is not fat, he is just big boned!" Wario shouts to him
"Now where have I heard that one before?" Stan sarcastically asks while he and Wendy watch the game on the tv screen.
Their caretaker, Big the Cat, has fallen asleep as his companion Froggy is bouncing on his belly.
"I'm open, I'm open!" Yamcha shouts to Masaomi and the scar faced martial artist is given the ball.
Mario and Luigi were both on his tail though, so he needed to come up with a way to lose them and gain the lead.
"Hope this doesn't count as cheating!" Yamcha propels himself through the air quickly using his flight and then delivers a swift spin kick with the football.
"Here's a new technique, Neo Wolf Fang Kick!"
It soared right towards the goal, with the Birdo goalie getting all worried about getting hit by it. Right before purple thorny vines begin to form in front of the goal, causing the ball to bounce off of them (it's a reinforced ball like in Strikers that can take a lot of punishment) and land near the culprit who caused them to grow.
"Heh heh heh, that was WALL-LUIGI!" Waluigi laughed as he quickly ran to the opposite goal.
"Okay, now THAT counts as cheating!" Yamcha was livid.
The purple clad rival finally reached the goal of Team Sonic, as Blaze was there to help defend it.
"If you're going that far to achieve victory, then I'll have to answer back with my own power. Move now, or you'll be moved."
Flames begin to shoot out beneath Blaze's feet as she hovers in the air, her eyes not breaking away from Waluigi as sweat begins to fall from his face. It was at that moment where he gulped, and took a deep breath in before looking right back at her and pulling his cap down.
"No, you will move." He tells her, swallowing his fear for a second.
20 seconds left on the clock as Blaze had enough and dive kicks, aiming for the ball… And Waluigi ducks it and pulls a rose out and inserts it into his mouth before he begins to bounce the ball around.
"Here we go!" He yells as he kicks the ball once more with a dozen more purple vines shooting out and entangling the Egg Pawn goalie before hitting the net of the goal.
Waluigi scored the game winning goal and event concludes with Team Mario taking the gold in a 15-14 victory.
Waluigi celebrates his win loud and proud, "Wahaha! Finally, it's mine! Eh, what's that over there?"
It was at that moment that his celebration was cut short by the arrival of Omega, firing his cannons in the air to get everyone's attention.
"Evacuate the city immediately, we are under attack by Dr. Eggman's equally deplorable relative."
Blaze gripped her fists with anger since she immediately knew who it was.
"Eggman Nega…"
From the bleachers Dr. Eggman pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, "Oh, so everyone was suspecting I did something bad, but nooooo. They didn't think my more despicable descendant was up to no good!"
Insert Song: Boss (Sonic Rush Adventure)
Soon the Monokuma units and Eggman Nega in the Eggkuma raided the stadium. The doctor slowly claps for his sleeper agent after spotting him standing in the center of the field.
"Congratulations Waluigi, you got a single gold medal. How very exciting… more importantly however, I appreciate you informing me of the location of those rebels from other worlds, well done!"
Waluigi bowed enthusiastically, "Wah, thank you very much, Doc! Now can I finally be one of you guys? I want to spread chaos everywhere too, and finally step out of the shadows…"
Eggman Nega simply laughed at him, "OHOHOHOHO! Are you really that gullible?! You're lucky I even hired you to help me in the first place, why would I trust you to command armies by my side across the multiverse?!"
All the members of Team Mario and Sonic, as well as our heroes all gathered in the middle of the stadium as the civilians ran away.
Michiru's eyes widened as she witnessed this conversation, "So he was working for them… or at least trying to get a job."
Waluigi's jaw dropped, "Wah? But… I did what you told me, and I even beat them in football! I cause trouble just like you, so why—"
"WHY? You're an insignificant annoying waste of life that goes around playing childish pranks on people because you're jealous of all the good things that they get that you aren't able to obtain on your own! You follow that large tub of lard around because he's the only one who can tolerate your presence!" The doctor took multiple verbal shots at him.
"Hey! Don't drag Wario into this!" The tub of lard complained.
Eggman Nega just ignored that comment and continued.
"If you weren't naive enough to allow me to use you in distracting our enemies, I would have made you into the Monokumas' personal toothpick! Although I'm feeling a little… generous. So I'll let you be the last one to get eradicated as I raise this city to the ground. Be lucky I haven't done something like this to you yet…"
He then reveals a bruised and battered Shadow, exhausted after the usage of Chaos Blast and from the looks of things it only got rid of a large chunk of Monokumas and left the Eggkuma with a few big dents in its armor.
"S-Shadow!" Amy gasped when she saw him being thrown on the ground.
Sonic boosted over to his rival and checked on him, "Still breathing, no blood spilled, but he's still not looking good."
"Ok, that's it! I'm gonna do more than just dent your stupid toy, I'm gonna wreck it!" Knuckles bumped his fists together as he was ready to battle.
Donkey Kong beat his chest wildly, "Ook ook ook!"
"I'm not letting you take over when I'm still kicking, pal! RAGH!" Bowser grits his sharp teeth as he steps up to the plate.
Sonic turns to Mario and they both nod at each other before heading off to the back.
"Where the hell are they going?!" Yamcha asks while confused.
Masaomi is struggling to answer that, "I don't know! Do they have some sort of plan? Because I can't fight that thing!"
While all this chatting was going on, Waluigi had just been on his knees refusing to believe what he was just told.
"Ah, finally deciding to shut up, eh? At the very least show some dignity before I send you to meet your maker." Nega taunted him once more.
"You…. YOU'RE LOUSY!"
Waluigi punched the Eggkuma in the stomach, and Eggman Nega simply sighed before slapping him away using the large mechanical paw and sends him right into Wario as well as the crowd seating.
Princess Peach showed some sympathy for the dastardly duo, "Waluigi, Wario!"
After witnessing both the verbal and physical decimation of Waluigi, Michiru finally had enough.
"HAAAAAAAAAAA!" She charged in and hit the Eggkuma with a gorilla (or Kong)-sized fist.
Eggman Nega was not phased by this, rather impressed instead, "Fascinating, a hybrid of man and beast with the ability to shapeshift body parts into other types of animals! I'll be sure to do some tests on your remains, as well as others of your kind!"
He then whacked her with the large gavel he had, Bucky managing to dive and catch her before she could land hard on the turf.
"You okay, kid? Don't just run in without a plan of attack!" He scolded her.
"Sorry…" The beast girl's head was still spinning, but she wasn't too damaged.
The Eggkuma was then assaulted by the group's heavy hitters; DK, Bowser, and Knuckles. The King of the Koopas breathed fire as the ape and echidna laid into it with bunches of punches.
"ORAAAA!"
"HOO HOO!"
"HRAH!"
The three of them threw a triple uppercut at the mech, but it barely managed to stay on its feet. The others were busy with the remaining Monokuma units, even if Shadow took out most of them the upgrades given to them by Eggman Nega made sure they wouldn't go down so easily to less powerful attacks.
"Agh! Aw man, I can't go back and get my suit! I'm just a sitting duck out here!" Scott says as a Ball Monokuma rolls past him.
"Not for long, Lang!"
Mario & Sonic came back with a cart full of question mark blocks and item capsules.
"We're not going down without a fight, Egghead Nega! Just hit one of these and let loose on these bots!" Sonic told the newcomers as he broke a capsule and got a Flame Shield.
Scott and Bucky hit some blocks and out pops an Ice Flower and a Mega Mushroom.
"Whoa! Do I eat this? How am I going to…" Scott looks over the large mushroom with concern.
"Just take a bite and see what happens, we don't have all day." Barnes told Ant-Man as he grabbed the blue flower and gained ice powers.
Scott shrugged before eating a small piece of its stem and then grew to gargantuan size! Likely on the same level as Giant-Man!
"Oh ho ho ho! This'll be fun…"
Michiru and Masaomi broke some item capsules, the former receiving the Power Sneakers and the latter getting the Bubble Shield.
"Whooooaaaaaaa!" Masaomi yelled as he began to bounce around uncontrollably.
Michriu was having similar problems with her new speed "T-T-T-TOO FAST!".
With the group now powered-up, the battle at the Olympic Games finally began with the two Mario Bros. leading the charge.
"Let's-a-go!" Mario shouted out.
"Okey dokey!" Luigi chimed in.
I honestly didn't expect this chapter as a whole to be so short, but the end is actually the next part before we finally get to Chapter 5. 4 parts compared to the others having around whole ending section is also pretty short too. Next time, we get to see what our Guardians can do with Mario & Sonic power-ups against Eggman Nega in the Eggkuma! Thanks to those who continue to read this, and I'll be sure to get the next part out as soon as I can! - Renegade Braveheart
