Chapter 8: "Mega Melee!"
Back in Hal City, the heroes were looking on at the aftermath of what they had done to all of the soldiers, and they heard the red-clad plumber saying that it wasn't over despite the outcome of their recent big battle. He, along with a few other members of the group, knew that even though they've defeated every last soldier in the city, the conflict was far from over. "What do you mean 'this is just the beginning'?" Asked DK, "It looks like it's over to me."
"That-a maybe true," Answered the plumber, "But just because it looks-a like it's-a finished, that-a doesn't mean it is. This could've only been the first wave."
"Mario's right." Said Ness, gaining everyone's attention, "I've seen an alien invasion before and I can tell that this is only the beginning. It never ends this fast."
Before more could be said between the group, they all felt the Earth shake beneath them. "What was that?" Asked Fox.
Samus turned to the cliff and pointed at something, "Uh guys?" She got their attention and what they saw shocked them and made their jaws drop all the way to the ground. They saw three to four creatures that were the size of the Empire State Building if not bigger, they were purple and crystalline just like the Polygon soldiers, titans and juggernauts.
"Looks like we have a bigger problem." Said Kirby as the Polygon goliaths got closer, one raised its fist.
"Scatter!" Commanded Mario and they all jumped out of the way when the fist when was flashing towards them. They got out of the way in the knick of time, "That was-a close."
"What do we do now?" Asked Captain Falcon, "That thing's gigantic!"
"Then whoever else has anything that can-a make themselves grow, use it-a now." The older brother as he and Luigi took out a Mega Mushroom each, ran up and jumped off the cliff and ate them as they were under the goliath's legs. When the red-clad plumber grew, he punched the goliath in the jaw, causing it to stumble backwards, "Let's-a go." He said as his little brother grew in size next to him.
"Okie Dokie." The eternal understudy agreed as he stood by his brother, ready to fight. Soon the other two goliaths charged at the two plumbers as they pulled out their Ultra Hammers. Mario swung his hammer at a goliath that blocked it and tried to counter with a punch to the jaw, but the Mushroom Kingdom's mustachioed hero caught the fist and punched the goliath in the face. Luigi grabbed a goliath and threw it at another, then he saw another goliath about to strike him, "AH!" He screamed as he ducked and the goliath tripped over him and landed on the pile of goliaths he created, he looked over at it and wiped his forehead, "Phew."
The others who were still on the cliff watched the clash of giants going in their favor. Those like Kirby, Ness, Pikachu, Yoshi, DK and Jigglypuff cheered, while Link, Fox, Samus and Captain Falcon simply smirked. "I gotta admit, for a plumber, he's pretty powerful." Commented Fox.
DK smiled, "That's Mario for ya." He told him, "It just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover." As he said that, Mario and Luigi suddenly both got punched in the face and sent into the cliff. The Polygon goliaths grinned evilly as they were about to finish them off, "Oh no you don't!" DK shouted as he pulled out a Giant Banana and ate it as he jumped off the cliff, causing him to grow from his natural seven-foot ten inches to the same size as Mario and Luigi were currently and punched the goliath in the face and bounced off of it to punch another one in the face. When he landed, he looked over at the Mario Brothers, "You guys okay?" He asked them.
Mario and Luigi got up and gave the Kong a thumbs-up, "Never better." Said Mario. He then turned to glare at the goliaths, "But they won't-a be in a second."
"Then why are we still standing here?" He said as he punched his open palm and the three charged towards the goliaths.
Jigglypuff then ran towards the cliff, "Jigglypuff (Why are we letting them have all the fun)?" She asked as she jumped off the cliff and used one of her lesser used moves, Puff Up. Her body suddenly inflated into a giant so she could fight alongside the two plumbers and the ape and Pounded a goliath in the face. "Jiggly (Bring it)!" She called to the goliaths.
Everyone else on the cliff looked on at the sight of the two giant plumbers, the massive gorilla and the supersized Balloon Pokémon engaging in battle with the four Polygon goliaths. To say it was a sight to behold would be an understatement as DK punched a goliath and picked it up to throw it into the sky. Mario grabbed one goliath by its leg and spun it around, "So long-a giant!" He called as he threw it into the sky, where it crashed into the other goliath. Luigi and Jigglypuff ganged up on one as Jigglypuff used Amnesia to make the goliath forget everything it was trying to do. Jigglypuff then took advantage of that by using Grass Knot to summon vines from the ground to hold it down in one place. Luigi then gave the goliath a hard swing of the Ultra Hammer, which shattered the goliath to pieces.
The four met back up in one place, "That's-a two down and one to go." He said as they stared at the last goliath, which smirked as the pieces of the other goliaths moved onto it and it made it grow four more arms and punched the four away, causing Mario, Luigi, DK and Jigglypuff to shrink down to their normal sizes and land on the edge of the cliff safely thanks to Ness using his psychokinesis to catch them and land them safely on the ground.
"You guys okay?" The young psychic asked them.
"Yes." Responded Mario.
"Yeah, thanks." Replied DK.
"I'm-a okay." Added Luigi.
"Jiggly (I might have a bent arm)." Jigglypuff finished and the PSI hero walked up to her and held her arm up.
"Let me help with that." But before Ness did, Jigglypuff used Wish to heal herself, "Or not."
They all looked at the six armed Polygon Colossus, "We have to find a way to take that-a thing down." Stated Mario.
"How though?" Asked Fox, "That thing doesn't look like it can be scratched on the outside by our raw powers alone."
Mario raised an eyebrow at that statement, "Wait Fox say that again."
"That thing doesn't look like it can be scratched on the outside?"
A lightbulb suddenly flashed in the plumber's head, "That's-a it!"
"What?"
"Maybe we can't attack it from the outside."
"Mario?" Said Samus, "Are you thinking…?"
"But maybe from the inside."
"That's actually not a bad idea." Claimed Captain Falcon.
"Yeah, but can any of us actually get inside of that thing?" Asked Fox.
"Leave that to me." Said Ness.
"And me." Added Link.
"Alright then Ness, you get Fox, Samus, DK, Kirby and Pikachu to its abdomen, and Link take Captain Falcon, Luigi, Jigglypuff and Yoshi to its brain." He laid out the plan and they all agreed to it.
"But what about you?" Asked Link.
"I'll-a distract it." He answered as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny golden bell with eyes and cat ears and whiskers that was three times his size. He jumped off the cliff again and touched the bell to his stomach and suddenly Mario was giant again, only now he was wearing a yellow cat suit with white paws and tail tip and a golden lion mane, he had become Giga Cat Mario. "Go now!" He told them as he ran up to the colossus and held it still with his claws.
"You heard him!" Said Link as Captain Falcon, Luigi, Jigglypuff and Yoshi gathered around him as he used Farore's Wind to teleport them into the colossus's head while Fox, Samus, DK, Kirby and Pikachu were carried by Ness.
"Hold on tight, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!" The young psychic told his group as he started running towards the city and picked up a ton of speed, "PSI Teleport!" He yelled as the six of them suddenly disappeared through a small blue portal and another one opened up beneath the colossus's abdomen, where the six came out with Ness still carrying the latter five with a fiery trail behind them due to the friction on Ness' shoes.
The other five got off of Ness' back and Fox decided to contact Mario and Link, "We're in." He said.
"Us too." Replied Link as the others readied themselves to strike.
Giga Cat Mario kept on swiping, "Alright, everyone!" He told them as he struggled with the colossus, "Strike now!"
"I was wondering when you'd say that." Said Samus as she charged her arm cannon and blasted at the colossus stomach gland, Fox charged up his blaster and fired at the beast's arteries when it was powerful enough to blow rocks to pieces. Pikachu used Thunder to shock the creature's stomach, Kirby flew on the Warp Star and kicked at any vital organs in the colossus' insides. DK just resorted to punching at anything he could find, whether it was a bone or an organ within the massive creature's body. Ness used PSI Rockin on any vital parts of the colossus' insides.
Meanwhile, Link swung at the creature's brain with the Master Sword, Yoshi threw several eggs at it, Jigglypuff used Water Pulse on it, Luigi shocked the brain with his lightning then followed it up with becoming Ice Luigi after pulling out an Ice Flower and eating it to freeze it up, "Now that's a brain-a freeze." He commented.
"Not the time Luigi." Said the Captain as he charged up his fiery fist.
Meanwhile, the other team found something, so Fox contacted the older plumber, "Mario," He said, "I think we've found this thing's heart."
Mario decided that the diversion was over as he saw that the attacks on the inside made the colossus unable to fight so he backed up, "Destroy it!" He told them, "And while you're-a at it, Link, your group destroy the brain."
"Understood." The champion of Hyrule responded before ending the call and turning to face the others, "You heard what he said!" They all nodded as Link pulled out an Ancient Arrow and fired it at the brain while the others provided support. However they got out of the way when the F-Zero racer unleashed his fist.
"FALCON PUNCH!" He yelled as his fist struck the brain.
After Mario gave them the order to destroy the heart, Fox threw a Smart Bomb at it, "Fire in the hole!" He yelled as Ness grabbed them and teleported them back to the cliff. Then they saw a bird-shaped explosion come from the colossus' head then they saw Link's group appear next to them.
The colossus then became stiff as, not even a second later, it was completely vaporized, not even ash remained. Mario shielded his eyes as the explosion nearly blinded him, but smiled as he dropped his power up and landed safely back on the ground, breathing heavily. "Way to go everyone." He told them as they smiled back, "But I still have a gut feeling that the invasion isn't-a over."
"Because it isn't!" Called another voice as the heroes could hear a helicopter whirring and landing near them, and out of the copter walked the Director of S.O.R.A. "It has only just begun."
