The universe...
Although wide, there is a world beyond access...
A world where its inhabitants are bond to fight...
A world where I rule...
Who am I, you ask? And what is this world?
I am Master Hand... And this world... is the World of Trophies!
"Get yourselves ready!" A judge from the crowd excitedly declared. "Today, we will be having two fierce competitors! Here, live from the Midair Stadium!"
A Lakitu dropped from the sky, holding a camera and crossed the stage.
However, someon flew across the sky and landed on stage.
As a white cap settled on his back, a young boy with cat-lke eyes unsheathed a sword and held it high.
"It is Link, from Hyrule!" The judge finished as the crowd blew in excitement. "We await the next challenger!"
-
(OOC - I decided to start Hyp, Nod and Mutt in the Smash World just so Link will have an opponent.)
Hyp, Nod and Mutt warped into the stadium and strode towards the arena. Hyp was astride Nod, looking for all the world like a triumphant Roman general.
"And here are Link's challengers; from the Great Valley, please welcome Hyp, Nod and Mutt!"
Hyp dismounted Nod and Mutt walked to the sidelines.
"I hope we can get back home." Nod said.
"We'll be able to get back. That weird passage is going nowhere."
--------------
In the Great Valley, Deimos, Strut and the rest of the gang were looking at strange swirling portal in the Cave of Many Voices.
"What's this? I heard that Hyp, Nod and Mutt went through here." Deimos asked. Suddenly the portal flashed and a Primid leapt from the portal.
"What is that thing?" Littlefoot asked.
Suddenly, the Primid leapt at Petrie, who flew upwards.
"I've got this." Deimos said. He then unfastened a club with a large stone lashed at the end from his back and swung it at the Primid, splattering it against the wall.
-
A Bracket appeared on the screen . It was bracket of 64. "Welcome to match #3. The winner of this match will take on the winner of Yoshi-Pikachu! Cobatants get ready. This match will lat 5 minutes.. and.. go! The announcer said, and a green light went off, signalling the start of the match..
-
"Never seen these before..." Link whispered, hesitating in taking the bow out or not. "Well, get yourself ready to be beat! The announcer already declared the beginning!" Link proudly announced, taking the Shield out instead and dashing towards Hyp with the sword at hand.
------------
"Cera?" A teenager voice called from a few bushes. "Where are you? I don't think this is a game anymore!"
With that, a greenish rockback jumped from the bushes, scrolling his look around the area.
"Where did she go...?" Kyro whispered, following a path into the forest. "And why did we leave the Great Valley, anyway...?!"
-
Hyp mounted Nod and grabbed the stone tipped spear that was at his side.
Nod then began to charge towards Link, with Hyp holding the spear in front of himself.
-
Seeing the challengers charging at him, and seeing as it was hard to avoid, Link took the bow out and pointed at the two, trying to get a clear shot on the weapon.
As soon as the arrow, as shot, Link threw the bow away and protected himself with the shield while taking out a bomb.
"If I'm going into Trophy, you're coming with me!" He whispered, holding the bomb while shielding.
-------
Kyro quit searching. He simply sat by the water, trying to rest after a long search in the forest.
However... just as soon as he lied down, a strange figure appeared from within the darkness... it seemed as if it had a stone aspect and the figure of a rather large sand creeper...
"Hello?" He called, approaching the bushes.
-
The arrow struck Nod but did not affect him too much thanks to his bony armor.
Hyp threw the spear over the shield and dismounted Nod. Nod continued charging at the shield. Hyp then assumed a fighting stance.
-------
Back at the cave the group was battling more Primids.
"What are these things?" Strut shouted, spearing a Primid.
"Beats me!" Littlefoot replied, crushing a Primid underfoot.
-
As the clash between the four was about to really heat up, three figures had come up and were watching the fight from the sidelines. It was a rather unusual trio. From first glance, it appeared to be a little girl dinosaur with a white, puff ball riding on her back and some marshmallow looking guy riding a cloud. How the strange group united, nobody knew besides them right now. The girl dinosaur spoke up to the marshmallow guy. "So what is that colorful guy with the long, sharp rock going to do? This seems to be mismatched."
He sighed. "Do you always have to know when something is going to happen Rita? Just hold on. Psychopath!" he called, looking at Link. He smiled and said, "Oh, he's a smart one. It may be three on one but he definately knows how to handle multiple enemies."
"Oh come on, what is he planning?" Rita pleaded.
"Trust me, you'll find this battle to be much more interesting if you don't know," Mallow replied mysteriously.
-
"Mail for you!" Link shouted, throwing the bomb backwards and taking off a small button-thing that was over the bomb.
Then, he let the shield be taken away with him, throwing him away for quite a distance, near the stage's edge.
Still not defeated, Link took out the sword and readied himself for a hand-to-hand fight.
However, Link turned to the trio that had appeared.
"What?!" He replied with a strang look.
------
The figure still didn't reply. It just kept moving, smashing the ground under him. Kyro backed a few steps.
"What is this thing?!" He shouted, turning around and running into the forest again before the golem would crush him. "Help! Ther's this giant thing hunting me!" He kept shouting to the trees.
"Kyro, help me!" Cera's voice echoed from within the beast.
The rockback suddenly stopped and looked back. Kyro gasped as he saw the female threehorn inside a hard material cage.
"Do something!" She kept shouting.
"I would... but what...?"
-
Hyp seized the bomb and threw it back at Link
Hyp then turned to Mutt. "Mutt, come here!"
Nod then sauntered back to the sidelines as Mutt loped toward Hyp. "Let's see how well Deimos's CQC training works."
Both Mutt and Hyp assumed a fighting stance. And Hyp beckoned towards Link. "Come get some."
-
Link had only one chance: he'd have to use the Roc's Cap.
And so he did, using the Roc's Cap to avoid being hit, jumping over the explosion and assuming a fighting pose by pointing the sword directly at Hyp with a defiant look.
"Let's go then!" He taunted, pulling the swod back to test the challenger's agility by slashing repeatidly.
"Stormy weather coming, people! Gather under!" The announcer declared, as the sky suddenly turned darker due to the clouds.
-
Hyp dodged most of the slashes, except fora few that struck him in the arms. He turned to Mutt and nodded.
Mutt took advantage of Link's fixation of Hyp and tried to body slam him.
-
"Smooth!" Link thought in a fraction of second, before being thrown away to out of the stage.
However, he touched the Roc's Cap and was sent flying up, able to grab the edge. He sheathed the sword and searched the shield around the stage.
"Darn, where is it?!" He muttered, keeping the cap on his back.
-----
"HELP!" Both Kyro and Cera shouted. Kyro had been cornered in a circle of rocks, unable to escape.
The monster wasn't far from crushing him.
-
"Looking for this?" Hyp asked, holding up the shield. In one hand he had a stone throwing knife.
Mutt had decided to remain near Hyp and was brandishing a stone tipped spear.
Hyp threw his knife at Link and Mutt followed up by hurling his spear at the same time.
-
"My shield!"
Link got up and unsheathed the sword, blocking the knife with a slash. However, the spear was approaching fast, and ultimately, Link was thrown away, hitting the stage's barriers and turning into a Trophy.
The trophy fell on the stage's ground, leaving the hero frozen.
"GAME! It's the end of the match!" The announcer declared. "And the winner is... what is that...?!"
The announcer went speachless as the crowd gasped. The clouds in the sky were turning a strange color. Not a single drop had fallen until now, when the sky suddenly seemed to shatter into pieces.
(OOC: Quite the dej·-vu, huh?)
-
"We did it!" Mutt shouted.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Hyp said, pointing at the sky.
Nod had joined his compatriots. He nudged Link's trophy.
Mutt retrieved his spears and fastened one of them back onto Nod who still had 4 of them lashed to his body. He was wielding the other one.
"This isn't good." Mutt said.
-
As the sky darkened, Dante, who was in the stadium waiting to fight, leapt onto the platform ready to fight.
"Wha-What's happening?"
He asked, eyes narrowing...
-
The brta ket apresared vbriefkly again. Hyp, Nod, and Muitt had asdvanced to play Pikachu. Suddenly. Black bolts shot down from the sky hitting the stage with tremendius velocity.
-
Recovered, Link got up and unsheathed his sword again as the situation started to go bad.
"Don't think there's time for a rematch, huh?" He ironized, picking the shield up and placed it into the right position.
But, was there something descending from the sky, from between the bolts...?
It seemed... a robot!
Link readied an arrow, but waited for the others reactions.
"The robot might not have bad intentions!" He shouted.
That is... if it didn't have strange cannon holes for arms!
---------
Kyro shrugged as the beast was over him, a huge scissor-like arm about to cut through him...
With one last effort, Kyro inspired heavily and shouted:
"HELP!"
-
Mutt aimed his spear at the robot. Nod crouched down and prepared to charge. Hyp brandished a stone knife.
"This thing doesn't look friendly." Hyp said.
-
"Guess you're right!" Link admitted, releasing the arrow against the robot.
However, the machine agily dodged it, striking the group with a few shots.
"So, you wanna play, is it?" Link taunted, rolling sideways to avoid beng hit.
-
Hyp leapt to the side and flung his knife at the robot's head. He rolled away, leapt back onto his feet and drew another knife.
Mutt leapt to the side, dodging a few shots. He closed in on it and began stabbing the robot's joints.
Nod charged the robot.
-
"Hey Falco... Bet you can't get that asteroid over there!" Will taunted, lowering the Airwing's beak towards an asteroid field.
Quickly enough, he shot a few laser beams and got up again, leaving four asteroids destroyed.
"And where's your team, man?"
-
Dante leapt away from the robot's attacks, then aimed his hand at it, releasing a black sphere of energy to strike it...
"Anyone know why this thing's here? Or what it is, for that matter?"
He asked, rolling aside to avoid any counterattack from the unknown foe...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Ah, most of the guys are back on Corneria. Foxy's back in the Smash Mansion, gettin ready for the next tournament. And you think I can't hit that asteroid? Watch this."
Falco chuckled, firing his Arwing's twin lasers, vaporizing
not only the indicated asteroid, but several others as well.
-
"Wow, nice catch!" Will admitted, turning the Airwing to Sector X, not far from there. "I wonder what's been going on there... Adrian already told me that there have been strange activities within the nebula's mist... What do you think of checking out? We could work something out besides being constantly around Fortuna..."
------
"I have no idea!" Link replied, but he trailed off as he saw something spherical being placed on the stage's ground. "Isn't that a..."
"SUBSPACE BOMB! EVERYONE OUT!" The announcer shouted as the crowds separated and ran from their seats.
"WHAT?!" Link shouted simmultaneaously, searching for any robots that woud trigger it. None. "Could it be a new model?" HHe shouted to the others.
-
Suddenly an image of Krystal appeared on thier screens. "Hi guys, I'm coming to join you. fox is busy with Smash tournament, and Slippy's on a Date with Amanda, so I'm kinda lonely at the moment.."
-
Hyp looked at the crowd fleeing. "I think we should get running too!"
Mutt looked at Link. "Link! Are you coming?" he shouted, looking at the portal.
-------
Back at the Great Valley, Deimos and the rest of the group were still fighting the Primids.
"What are these things?!" Deimos shouted, grabbing a Primid and tearing its head off.
-
Virgil spun next to Deimos, cutting at another Primid with his sword.
"I don't quite know, but... whatever they are, they aren't friendly."
He said, a grim smile on his face...
"Agreed. They are most irritating..."
Motochika stated, swinging his shamisen into rapid contact with a primid's head...
"Guys...Anyone sure what's going on here? 'Cause I'm not liking this..."
Kai added, spinning around with a punch to a primid, staggering it...
_________________________________________________________________________
"I'm all for getting the heck out of here!"
Dante said, running back towards the portal...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Ah. Okay. Tha's cool with me, Krys."
Falco said, cool as always, a smile on his face.
"Hope you don't mind if me and Will go check out some reports from a friend of mine while you're with us."
He added...
-
Not at all, Falco.."Krystal replied."Do what you have to do.."
-
Deimos kicked a Primid aside and retrieved his club, which he used to splatter another Primid into a wall.
"This is worse than the time I saw Ducky's mother and a friend of hers fight off a horde of fast-biters during the war. Though they would be quite helpful right about now! Damn, Ms. Swimmer fights well with twin sticks." Deimos added, blocking a Primid's attack with his club.
"Yeah, at least fast-biters know when to quit!" Strut added, spearing a Primid through the chest.
Ducky was grabbed by a Primid but Strut grabbed the Primid and stomped it. Ducky, then grabbed a small but sharp rock to use as a weapon to defend herself with.
(OOC - the war Deimos is referring to is the war in Twilight Valley)
(OOC - are the characters the same age as they are in the movies or are they ~18-20 years old, equivalent?)
-
(OOC: great spot, Serris. Great thing on trivia, eheh. Also, the ages are what you want... I mean, I've got Kyro with Cera, so...)
"You bet I am!" Link quickly dashed towards the portal, jumping into it.
-----------
"Cool with me, Krystal." Will responded, turning the Airwing to the destination. "We're off, then! I hope StarFighters are alright..."
------
Kyro saw his life flashing before him as the monster raised a pince.
However, quickly enough, the rockback curled and rolled under it, escaping the monster.
"Don't leave me here! Hey!" Cera kept shouting. Seemingly having heard her, the monster roared and a countdown was shown in its eyes, followed by a change of colour from its rock colour to a bombish one. "This can't be good..." The threeorn muttered, opening her eyes widely.
-
Hyp, Nod and Mutt ran through the portal. They arrived back at the Great Valley and noticed the gang fighting a mass of Primids. Even Link was present.
"Nice to see you!" Raptix said, biting and clawing at a Primid.
"Who's the new guy?" Deimos asked, as clubbed a Primid.
Ducky was grabbed by a Primid but she stabbed it with her rock, which was wedged in it.
Deimos sighed and handed Ducky his stone knife.
"The new guy is who we fought when we went through the portal." Hyp said. He then punched a Primid in the face, dazing it.
Strut cursed as his spear snapped as he stabbed a Primid with it. "I'm going to see if we can get reinforcements and a new spear."
He then exited the cave only to find that the sky was an eerie blue-black color and laced with thunderheads and lightning flashed across the sky.
"This is not good." He then ran towards Mr. Bigmouth's Grove, where the Great Valley dinosaurs kept their weaponry and where Mr. Bigmouth prepared various herbal medicines.
As he arrived at Mr. Bigmouth's grove, he grabbed a spear and a stone knife.
As he left, he ran into a Primid which he quickly killed with his spear.
(OOC - Raptix is part of Deimos's moveset.)
(OOC - I'm going to weave some Twilight Valley locations if no one minds.)
(OOC - I'm going to work on a boss profile for "Dark Ms. Swimmer".)
-
"Looks like there's trouble everywhere..." Link commented, drawing the sword and the shield. "Let's take care of them!"
Quickly enough, Link drawed the bow and shot a flying Primid over him, quickly putting the bow away and attaining a few jump strikes against two sword Primids.
"Who are you guys, by the way?" He inquired in such situation. "Great Valley, I suppose?"
He stabbed another Primid, throwing it against te wall and forcing its explosion.
"Why do they keep coming?!" He exclaimed.
---------
A minorly small robot descended from the sky and landed on the Midair Stadium, next to the bomb. The crowds now stared only at the bomb. Even the anouncer had gone silent.
Suddenly, the robot model ROB 5 moved over to the bomb and grabbed one of the sides, unexpectadly raising it in the air.
Then, the ROB threw the bomb into the air, shooting a laser beam and forcing the bomb to explode, swallowing the stadium awhole.
------
Kyro didn't even notice where he was going: as long as he was far away from the monster, he was good.
However, just as he thougt it was safe, he saw himself spinning over a cliff.
Fo a few moments, he thought he would make it on the other side.
However, he quickly realised he was now just faling, uncertain of what could be under him.
--------
"Hey, guys... I'm detecting a fleet nearby... and one of the ships is incredibly big! It looks almost like a gun!" Will claimed, grabbing the stead even harder.
((OOC: By the way, its ok to include Trivia-like information, even include them as story parts. It all gathers up for Smash Bros. concept, right?))
-
Deimos parried a sword swipe from a Sword Primid with his club and stunned it with a kick. He then clubbed it so hard it flew against the wall and exploded.
Hyp nodded. "Yep Great Valley." He grabbed a Primid and threw it at a wall.
Strut had just arrived and he cleared a path by lowering his spear and charging, throwing Primids aside.
Strut then looked at Link. "I've never seen you before." He then blocked a sword swipe from a Sword Primid with his spear and skewered it through the head. He pulled the spear out and speared a nearby Fire Primid.
Ducky stabbed a Primid that leapt at her with her knife, exploding it. "I do not like killing, oh no, no, no."
A Sword Primid slashed at Nod's back but he shook it off thanks to his armor. He then rammed the offending Sword Primid against the wall and crushed it. "Hey Link! Maybe you should pair up with Deimos, the big dinosaur with the club." Nod shouted as he was crushing the Primid between his body and the wall.
"Guys! There's something weird with the valley." Strut shouted. "And let me guess, Nod, Link is the guy you 3 fought when you entered that portal?"
-
"It seems so!" Link replied to Strut, performing a backflip and cutting a Boom Primid apart by explosion.
Quickly, he gathered near Deimos, facing the Primids directly.
"Know any quick moves, big guy?" Link taunted in a way.
-
Dante slung himself from the portal, striking one of the Primids nearing Virgil with a swift double-foot kick.
"Hey Bro! I'm here!"
He said, as he faced a group of the enemy Primids.
"And looks like just in time, too!"
He chuckled, drawing up his mask and pulling it onto his face, a grim smile on his face...
-
Deimos chuckled. "No, but I know some pretty brutal ones!" he said, as he clubbed one Primid and kicked another one. He then parried an attack from a Sword Primid with his club, which broke it.
"Great my club broke." Deimos groaned. A Sword Primid approached him and leapt at him. He pivoted out of the way, grabbed the Sword Primid, slammed it to the ground and stepped on its head, causing it to explode. He looked at Link. "That fast enough for ya?"
Strut speared a Primid behind Dante as Littlefoot crushed a Sword Primid underfoot.
"Hey, anybody see Cera?" Raptix asked. He leapt onto a Sword Primid, bit it several times then kicked off it, sending it skidding across the ground, where Mutt accidentally stepped on it.
Hyp grabbed a Fire Primid and slammed his elbow onto its head, dazing it. He then pushed it into the portal.
-
"Help me...!" A shout echoed through the valley as a hard falling sound was heard.
-----
"Seems good enough, Deimos!" Link replied, jumping over a Primid and performing a Helmet Breaker.
Quickly, Link drew the Gust Jar and blew away a few Primids, sucking one and kicking it away as well.
"You said there was something out there! What is it?!" Link inquired, jumping to avoid two dashing Primids that hit each other on the head.
Suddenly, though, he was thrown away against the wall. In the place where he was stood a slightly visible being, mostly transparent.
"There's something there!" Link warned, drawing the bow.
(OOC: I'll be introducing other kinds of Primids, feel free to do so too, as well as including enemies from the series that are present in this version)
-
"They sky is weird looking!" Strut said, spearing a Primid.
Deimos dodged an attack by a Giant Primid. "My turn." Deimos said. He then leapt onto the Giant Primid, slashed it with his hand claws twice, bit it then kicked off it, causing it to explode.
-
Dante fired another Cero blast into a sword Primid, then spun so he was back-to-back with Link.
"I'm Great Valley too. Name's Dante. Nice to meet you."
He said, as he formed his zanpakuto and faced off against the foes...
Virgil nodded, slashing at another Boom Primid with his stone blade.
"The same here. Might I ask your name?"
He inquired, the black mist from another fallen Primid on the ground in front of him...
Motochika launched a sonic bubble into a pair of approaching Primids, then looked up to the sky.
"The sky grows dark. We should be careful."
He muttered, as he returned his mind to the battle on hand...
"Ah! Guys! Look at the Sky!"
Kai said, stumbling back after having tried to block an incoming attack...
-
Back on the other end of the portal, three figures were deciding what to do.
"Those guys just jumped into that thing and they disappeared. I have a bad feeling on whatever's on the other side of it," Rita the longneck said as she felt a chilled sensation.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had my share of portal dangers. I went through one that looked just like an ordinary door only to find an all powerful magician with four elemental crystals that would not go down easily whatsoever."
"Uh, door? Magician? Elemental crystals?" Rita asked, totally lost.
"Sorry. Nevermind about that," Mallow said, looking at the portal. "Dark energy- I mean bad things- are definately on the other side of this."
"You're positive?" Rita asked.
"Yeah. I sent a Psychopath spell through it. I knew that it would hit someone random since I couldn't focus on a target. But whoever or whatever I hit would only think, 'Kill, kill, kill!' So yeah, there is a problem. I have no doubt."
"What should we do?" Rita asked nervously. She wanted to help wherever there was trouble, but Mallow had seen so much of it that she usually asked him about it.
"Well, it will be extremely dangerous, and I don't have Mario- I mean an old friend of mine- to rely on like last time, so I must admit that I am a bit unsure myself," Mallow admitted.
"Jig Jig Jiggly Jig Jigglypuff!" the white puff ball sitting on Rita finally said. If you could call it talking anyway.
"Psychpath!" Mallow shouted, looking at her. "Do you realize what you're getting into?" he asked Jigglypuff.
"What did she say?" Rita asked curiously.
"She wants to fight," Mallow said. "But I don't think she would do so well there. She has fought other pokemon on her world, but on there, battles resulted in fainting, not death, so she didn't have much to worry about. She has even fought in this tournament before, but again, no killing here, just knock outs. Whatever is on the other side means business; there are no rules to protect her or any of us if we go."
Jigglypuff looked upset and jumped off Rita's back. She jumps over to Mallow and uses her Pound attack and knocks Mallow several feet into the air. "Jiggly Jig Jig," she said angrily.
"Oomph!" he exclaimed from the impact. When he landed on the ground, he slowly and gently got to his feet and said, "Psychopath. Alright, you've made your point. I'll go too."
"What was that all about?" Rita wondered aloud.
"She said that if she can take down a guy who helped save a world, she is more than suited to fight whatever comes in her way," Mallow answered, still rubbing the spot she made contact with.
"Well, I'm not the best fighter either, but if we work together, we will be fine. If you two go in there, count me in," Rita said with confidence.
"Psychopath," Mallow whispered, focused on her. He smiled at what he saw in her mind, then said, "Alright gang, we might be way over our heads here, but we just can't ignore it when we know that there is danger. Jigglypuff's confidence reminded me that. We each have our fighting styles: weather and psychic, agility and sleep spells, and physical and transformation. If we use these effectively, we still might not overpower everything we encounter, but strategy is also on our side. If you two are so willing, I won't abandon my friends or anyone in trouble. Alright, here we go!" he shouted, jumping into the portal.
Jigglypuff jumped back on Rita's back and Rita in turn jumped into the portal as well. As they were being transported through into the Great Valley, Mallow recalled what he saw in Rita's mind. "She's more afraid than she'll admit, but she has faith that she'll make it through this if her friends are there for her. After fighting with my four old friends long ago and feeling the same way, it seems that Rita and I have more in common than we thought. Don't worry Rita. I may not be the hero Mario was, but I will do everything in my power to keep us and whoever we meet safe." And with that, they arrived on to the battlefield, underneath an unusually dark sky.
-
"Link's the name!" Link replied, shooting at a Reflective Primid near him.
The strike from above flew through them, but gave the two enough time to dodge the "thing" before it hit them.
"What was that?!" Link shouted, gasping on the ground. He had just finished coughing from the dust on the ground when he spotted the three figures from before, in the stage, at the cave's entrance. "We've got company!"
-
"Nice to meet you!" Deimos said, leaping over a Sword Primid and crushing it.
Strut looked at the 3 arrivals. He readied his spear. "Identify yourselves!"
-
The three figures glanced at the raging battle around them. One of them knew the area they got transported to, while the other two were completely unfamiliar with the place, the whole planet to be exact. But Rita didn't have any time to enjoy the scenery.
"Uh, is this the best time for an introduction?" Mallow asked, worried about the fighting and not so much about who is who.
Knocking a Primid out with a very hard whack from her head, Rita responded, "Come on Mallow. Look around you. If we don't tell them who we are, they have every right to think we're against them just like those things are."
"Well, when you put it that way... Fine, I'm-"
"Jig Jiggly Jig Jig!" came an angry shout.
Everyone just stared at what seemed to be a white ball with eyes.
"Uh, hold on a moment. Psychopath! Oh. Jigglypuff, I don't think that now is the time to be poli- Ouch!" Mallow exclaimed after Jigglypuff slapped him. "Fine. Jigglypuff says that, whoa! Thunderbolt!" he shouted, neutralizing three small Primids coming up for a group attack. "She said that if you want a formal introduction, you need to ask politely. Of course, considering our surroundings, even I see the stup- Oomph!" he said, getting knocked down by Jigglypuff before finishing.
"Uh, how about this? Let's just say whatever those things are, they aren't on our side either, so let's just take care of them-" Rita knocked one down with her tail, which began to recover until she stopped it with her foot, "then we can get down to our details, okay?"
-
"Well said, let's get these guys knocked out before we're finished!" Link shouted, readying his sword.
A Fire Primid threw a rather small flame ball at him, but he was able to deflect it with the shield.
"Wrong strike, pal!" He replied, performing a jump strike at the Primid. "Any of you guys know a spell or something?!" Link inquired to the arrivals.
-
Deimos was in the process of using a rock he picked up to pound away at a Metal Primid. Eventually, he broke the rock on the Metal Primid's iron-hard skin but not before it exploded in a black mist.
Even Petrie joined in the fight by pecking at the Primids.
A Fire Primid threw a small fireball at Nod. "Nice try!" Nod shouted as he charged through the fireball and trampled the Fire Primid underfoot.
Hyp kneed a Primid, stunning it, then finished it off with powerful 2-handed hammerfist.
"Guys! We've got someone new!" Ducky said, diving out of the way of a Fire Primid's fireball attack.
"Formal introductions will have to wait." Strut said. He batted a Sword Primid aside with the butt of his spear and stabbed it with the point of his spear as it lay on the ground.
(OOC - can anyone use the gang of five if they aren't taken?)
-
"Well, we all have some abilites, but Mallow, I mean the sky puffy guy here is the only one with spells. Any ideas Mallow?" Rita asked him.
"If you wanted to fight all day, I could use my magic. But while I don't know about the rest of you, the three of us have little chance of escaping without injury," he replied. "Ow! Oh come on, I'm only looking out for us, okay Jigglypuff? Do you have an idea?" Mallow asked her, a little sarcastically.
Jigglypuff frowned on the note of sarcasm but she did have an idea and she told everyone there: "Jiggly Jig Jig Jig Jiggly Jig Jigglypuff!" Well, she tried to tell everyone.
Mallow knew his cue, and with little enthusiasm said, "Psychopath." He paused for a minute and said, "We don't even know if there is a place like that here, and how would we lead all these things there if there was?" Mallow asked, even though he doubted Jigglypuff could help there.
"A place like what? What did she say?" Rita asked him.
"What good would it do?" We don't know this place at all anyway," Mallow complained.
"Mallow, I used to live here," Rita answered.
"Huh? This is the world you described being from? The dinosaurs here don't quite look- Shocker!" he shouted, causing a large lightning bolt to stun a very large Primid.
"Look, I'll explain later! Just tell me what kind of place we're looking for," Rita said quickly, getting on her front legs and back kicking a Primid behind her, but got a quick slash from one in front before Mallow knocked it out with his Froggie Stick. Blood trickled out of her neck.
"Hold on Rita! Let me heal you!" Mallow shouted, getting ready to summon his HP Rain spell.
"It's nothing! Do it later! Tell me now!!!" Rita almost screamed.
Mallow was taken back but said, "Some place large enough to hold several creatures that also amplifies sound."
"The Cave of Many Voices," Rita answered without even needing to think. "Hurry. It's this way."
"Hold on! We still have no way to lead all these things there! What are we supposed to do about that?" Mallow asked, before getting in a sword/stick fight with another Primid, until he got his Froggie Stick knocked away by its sword. It was just about to run him through.
"Mallow!" Rita shouted.
-
"How about we just get rid of that danged portal and get the rest to some place else?!" Link suggested, piercing one last Primid before falling on his knees, gasping. "I'm tired of this... WHERE IS IKE WHEN YOU NEED HIM?!"
A Primid was about to jump over him, but for some reason was obliterated.
Quickly enough, Link drew the bow out and shot the Sword Primid, helpng the guy get up.
"What do you need?!" He asked in a rushed voice.
---------
"Hold on down there!" Kyro shouted, falling inside a pond. He quickly uncurled and ran behind a bush, trying to recover some air. "Where did I fall...?!"
((OOC: Everyone can use the five. Although Cera's currently held prisioner by Golyura, but, besides that, its fine to use. Also, I suppose we're needing a boss, the battle can't go on forever... Who's it gonna be? I've got Golyura in suicidal mode, but he can be fought later.))
-
(OOC - I'll go with Dark Ms. Swimmer.)
Ducky slammed her knife into a Primid. "I do not want to do this any more. I do not, I do not."
Deimos was breathing heavily and it was clear that several Sword Primids had found their mark. He grabbed the last Primid and tore its head off. "Any place we can go?"
Strut looked at the rest of the Primids running out of the cave into the Great Valley. "Oh no!"
--------
Over in the Thundering Falls Lake, Ms. Swimmer, armed with dual sticks, was trying to fight off some Primids. She swatted one into a rock, causing it to explode but a strong blow from a Big Primid knocked her down. She knocked one of the approaching Primids off its feet but the Primids broke down into shadow bugs and enveloped her.
Eventually, Ms. Swimmer stood up but her eyes were an eerie blue-white color and she was no longer dark green but a dark purple. Even more amazing was how she started to grow.
"Ms. Swimmer?!" Mr. Threehorn asked. He noticed Ms. Swimmer raising one of her sticks, now the size of saplings.
"Not anymore." Ms. Swimmer replied. Her voice was different, icy almost otherworldly.
Mr. Threehorn galloped away as fast as he could.
-
Ike reached over and grasped Link by the arm, pulling him back to his feet.
"Link, long time no see. What do you need me for?" Ike said as he thrust his sword into another Primid.
-
"Ike! Man, glad to see you here! Lots of Primids! We can't handle this on our own! And if... wait..." Link trailed off.
Heavy footsteps were audible in the distance.
"Something's coming..." He commented. "And its big..."
-
"Something huge is somewhere around here, getting very close too," Mallow also pointed out to his friends from the noise as if they couldn't tell.
"Yeah, we should do soemthing!" Rita exclaimed.
"Let these "experienced" guys handle whatever it is," Mallow retorted.
"Is something the matter?" Rita asked him.
"They seemed very eager to help us out on our plan," he said sarcastically. "They must have it all figured out so they are obviously better suited to handle the hard stuff. We had just suggested getting most of these guys somewhere else but the same suggestion was simply repeated as if we weren't even heard. Let's just take care of the smaller creatures and worry about ourselves. That seems to work out pretty well."
Flashback:
"Mallow!" Rita yelled her friend was about to get it.
Jigglypuff jumped up and used Body Slam on the Primid, which was knocked down hard and didn't get up.
"Whew!" Mallow huffed. "Thanks for the save, Jigglypuff. I'm glad you finally used that attack on someone besides me for a change."
"Jig Jig," was her response as she smiled gleefully.
Mallow didn't have to mind read to know what a 'you're welcome' was from her. But he wondered where those other guys were.
Present:
"Now, now Mallow. That guy with the sharp, long rock simply asked you if you knew any spells. That didn't include a 'Let me help you' anywhere so you really can't hold anything against him for going over to fight with someone else. These creatures are very vicious and numerous," as Rita body slammed one charging her. "It seems unwise even to me to have too many of us group together in the same place as a single, large target for them to focus on. The enemies are everyone so all of us should be the same way to get rid of them faster. That guy really is experienced because he did the smart thing. And by the look of it, I think those two know each other," she noticed.
"I don't care if they know each other or not! I really like Jigglypuff's idea and wish we had help with it!" he complained. Then he noticed something. "Star Rain!" he yelled, taking out a group coming towards them with a giant falling star.
"Well it can still work with the just the three of us," Rita replied. "We came here as a team, knowing full well our team will probably remain just a trio. So think. How can we lure a bunch of these things to the cave so that Jigglypuff can do her thing? We probably can't get them all, but it will make things easier on everyone here if we lower our enemies' numbers by even just a little. Once they're out of it, getting rid of them will be very easy, provided we do it fast enough so they don't all wake up."
"Fine, let me think," Mallow said and then paused for a moment. While he thought, the three were viciously attacked. Mallow started going at it with his Froggie Stick after he had recovered it along with a few Thunder Bolts. Jigglypuff Pounded several, and knocked out some with Sing when she felt overwhelmed. Rita, with no magic attacks of her own, was having the most trouble, and some deep cuts adorned a few parts her body which hurt her very much. She didn't draw attention to them though so that the others wouldn't worry too much about her. After a bit, she finally managed to take down the one she had been fighitng the whole time that the others were defeating several of them. She could have transformed to fight better, but she hadn't fully learned how to control that power yet so she decided that now probably wasn't the best time for a trial run.
Finally, Mallow said, "We need something to draw them to that cave, but I'm against using you guys as bait. I'll get on my cloud car which I'm pretty sure can go faster than these things and I'll lure them there myself. Go somewhere safe you two."
"No way!" Rita exclaimed. "We stay together, right Jigglypuff?"
"Jiggly!" came her response.
"If you're sure they can't keep up with your cloud car, then we won't be in danger if we go with you either. It would be safer than being separated. Besides, you have no idea how to get there anyway. We have to do this together," Rita stated.
"Well, I guess you have a point. But I'm still not the best driver so hang on!" Mallow warned as he called his cloud car down and they hopped on, ready to lead some of these things to the cave. But as they took off, they left a small trail of blood behind...

Kyro looked through the bushes, trying to distinguish something in the skif.
"What is all this...?!" He mumbled, surprised. "What is going on in this valley?!"
The rockback gulped as three were leaving, followed by a few Primids, while around five kpt fighting the Primids and two nervously looked out at the northern entrance of the Valley.
The ground was shaking violently and a loud noise was audible.
"Why didn't I stay at home...?!" Kyro ironized.
-
"Link, what in the name of Greil is going on?" Ike asked while fending off the Primids.
-
Hyp, Nod, Mutt Strut and Deimos all looked at Ike.
"Hey! Who's the new guy?" Nod asked. A Sword Primid headed towards Ike but Hyp grabbed a spear from Nod's back and hurled it at the Sword Primid.
"I'm going to check out those footsteps and get a new club." Deimos said, "Anybody need some herbs for injuries?"
-
"He's Ike, a friend of mine!" Link replied, turning around. "I'll go with you, Deimos!" He offered himself.
---------
"Hey! Wait for me!" Kyro shouted, rolling after the three others that had ran off.
-
"We'll get the introductions later! And thanks for coming, Link!" Deimos said.
He then ran out of the cave.
Nod looked at Ike. "So, you're Ike? What brings you to the Great Valley?" A Primid threw a weak punch that Nod didn't even feel. Strut speared the Primid.
--------
As Deimos made his way to Mr. Bigmouth's Grove, he noticed huge Swimmer footprints. He sniffed one of the footprints. "Ms. Swimmer's scent. But these footprints are the size of a Longneck footprint."
He eventually entered the grove and retrieved a club of the same design he had used previously and a stone ax. He looked over at a tree and noticed several deadly looking stone tipped spears resting against it.
"So how do you like our armory?" Deimos asked. "It's a leftover from the old war. Mr. Longneck thought it would be wise to keep it around in case of an emergency."
-
Link looked around at the weaponry with amaze.
"Man, you've got pretty developed skills here.. Hylian guards would droll at this..." He commented. "But we've got to figure what those footprints are there up to. You said they wre unsually big... Let's go after them."
-
Deimos grinned. "Thanks! Unfortunately, our weapons can break but it seems yours can't."
Deimos then spoke to Mr. Bigmouth. "Mr. Bigmouth, we have hostile activity in the valley. Please see to it that weapons and herbal medicines are being made."
Mr. Bigmouth nodded, threw some wood onto a small fire, grabbed two rocks began hammering out a stone knife from a large black rock.
"It won't be too long." Mr. Bigmouth replied.
"Link! Do you need another weapon?" Deimos asked.
(OOC - anyone can take Mr. Bigmouth but he is the herbalist/armorer.)
-
"Don't worry, I'm fine with my Four Sword ad Hylian Shield! I've got other weapons in, but..." Link stopped for a short time. "I'll be needing arrows. Resistant wood and sharp rock!" He requested, showing his bow.
--------
Will was starting to sweat.
"Guys, its getting closer..."
-
Mr. Bigmouth looked at the bow. "Hmm. It looks like this could be used to launch smaller versions of the spears that we make." He then turned to Link. "Okay, your weaponry will be ready soon."
Mr. Bigmouth grabbed a bundle of straight twigs and placed it near himself. He hammered out several stone arrowheads from the black rock he used to make weapons and placed them by the twigs. He also grabbed a vine and placed it near the materials.
As soon as the material was gathered, he deftly split the tip of the twig in half with a stone knife, wedged the arrowhead in and tied the arrowhead on with a small piece of vine.
After several minutes, Mr. Bigmouth handed the arrows to Link. "Link, if you want, I can poison them."
Deimos chuckled. "Mr. Bigmouth has been doing this for quite some time. He gets better every time." He then turned to Mr. Bigmouth. "Mr. Bigmouth, can you work on some stone throwing knives? Ducky has the last one."
-
"There is no need for that, thank you. I've got my own "poison" hid inside." Link replied, accepting the arrows.
The earth shook a few more times.
"We've gt to hurry, Deimos."
-
Deimos readied his stone ax and followed the huge footprints. He eventually followed them to the Thundering Falls Lake where Dark Ms. Swimmer was fighting Grandma and Grandpa Longneck and appeared to be winning.
"Ms. Swimmer?!" Deimos said, staring at the monstrosity.
Ms. Swimmer almost literally threw Grandpa and Grandma Longneck aside and confronted Deimos. "The Great Valley will belong to Subspace."
"Not if we can help it!" Deimos shouted back, brandishing his ax.
-
"So Subspace really is behind all this..." Link commented. "Well it shouldn't even be here! Get ready to b defeated!" Link shouted out, readying a freshly made arrow.
He shot it at the giant, and while it went fast, it was deflected.
"Man, she'd tough... The arrows are great though... nice job!"
-
"Thank Mr. Bigmouth." Deimos said.
Deimos leapt out of the way as a sapling sized club crashed down where he was. He then charged Dark Ms. Swimmer and used his agility to evade the rain of blows. He got close enough to hack at her legs with his stone ax but a blow from her massive club knocked him aside, sending him skidding back several feet.
Deimos staggered back to Link. "I need a ranged weapon."
-
Link jumped up and avoided a hit, but even though he deflected another with his shield, the hit was harsh enough to throw him away.
As he got up again, he tried to shoot another arrow, thisone armed with a bomb.
"Know how to use a bow, Deimos?" He shouted.
-
"How are we going to defeat that? I'm next to useless against something that large. My only hope is either Eruption or Great Aether, and I don't think I'll be able to get either of them done. Any other plans, Link?" Ike said as he grabbed a bow and tried to launch an arrow at the giant. The arrow bounced off the giant's skin like a rubber ball.
-
"Heck, I have no idea... I don't even know the items around the Great Valley... but we certainly won't find a Smash Ball here. If we could, we would beat her out!" Link commented. "Let's try to attack the three of us at the same time! We've got better chances!"
-
Dante, Motochika, and Virgil all spun towards Link, Deimos, and Ike as well.
"We're here too! Don't count us out yet! Oh, and... These will do the same as a smash ball, if you want them."
Each of the three pulled out a pair of strange, glowing stone fragments, tossing them to their allies.
"Alright! Let's party!"
Dante yelled, facing the giant with resolve.
"We will not be defeated!"
Virgil added, his arm glowing ominously...
"This is our home, and we will protect it with all our strength!"
Motochika roared, his silver markings flashing with an internal light...
-
Deimos caught the stones and his eyes switched from a clear amber color to a fiery blue white color. "Let's rock!" he shouted.
Hyp, Nod, Mutt and Strut charged in.
"We heard shouting so we figured we'd be needed." Hyp said.
"Ms. Swimmer?" Strut asked.
Strut leapt out of the way as she took a swing at him. He retaliated by hurling his spear at her only to have it deflected.
-
Elsewhere, a cloud car was speeding by, followed by several Primids being taunted by Jigglypuff.
"Looks like they have their hands full," Rita said, watching the others fight Dark Swimmer. "I still think we should help them."
"First of all," Mallow began, "there are so many of them fighting the same thing that no matter how well we can fight, any more of us would probably just get in their way. Secondly, getting rid of a bunch of these small guys is helping them. The more of these we take care of, the less they have to worry about in the end, and more importantly, they can fight that bigger thing better with less distractions from this horde."
"Don't act like you're doing all this only for these strangers," Rita said, with a smile.
"Okay fine. So I want US to survive this too."
"Too?"
"So I care the most about my friends! So what? Gosh Rita, you always were the perceptive one. Sometimes I wonder if your sixth sense is to blame."
"I wouldn't exactly call it a fault," she said, nudging him. "Besides, I can only sense danger and ill intent; me being perceptive is simply me being more observant."
"I see," Mallow replied. He looked behind him to see the Primids trailing as he had expected, but he also saw something that he didn't expect at all: they were gaining on them. When Mallow turned around, Rita had followed, and she shouted, "Can't this thing go any faster?"
"This thing is a "cloud car," not a thing," he retorted. "And I'm flooring it now."
"About the first part of your first statement-" Rita began, then she stopped. "Nevermind."
"I think I see it!" Mallow exclaimed. "Is that opening over there?"
"Yeah, that's-" but that was as far as Rita got before collapsing from loss of blood.
"'Yeah, that's' what?" he asked before taking his eyes off the course and looking at her lying in a blood soaked part of the cloud car. "Rita!!!" he yelled and started braking suddenly and the cloud car slowed down.
"Don't stop. Keep going- too close- we'll all- if you stop," she said weakly, since she hadn't fully lost consciousness.
Mallow understood her and had to think fast. He wasn't going to lose his friend. "Jigglypuff, take the wheel."
"Jiggly!?"
"I know you can't reach the steering wheel and the air pedal so I set the accel. Get over here. After all this, I don't think they'll stop chasing us now," Mallow said, and actually picked Jigglypuff up and set her on the driver's seat, but unfortunately, she couldn't even reach the wheel. Mallow didn't have any more time to ponder. He actually put her on the steering wheel itself and said, "Look straight ahead and just turn your whole body to steer. She started to interject, but he ignored her and stood over Rita. He raised his hands. "HP Rain!" A cloud started forming over him and he concentrated so that it hovered over Rita. "I only have one forth of my Flower Points left. I need to make this count so I can keep protecting us." As the cloud started to pour down its healing rain on Rita, Mallow concentrated right as it opened up, and he heard an extra surge of power. "Phew. I managed to increase its effectiveness. It won't heal her completely, but at least she'll get the full power of my spell." Rita's wounds didn't close completely, but they started mending fast enough to stop most of the bleeding right away. It was a suspenseful moment seeing how Rita would recover, but the scene was cut short- literally.
"Jiggly!" she cried.
"Huh?" Mallow said, turning around. The end of the path was almost right there. "Move!" Mallow commanded, taking her off the wheel, grabbing it himself, and releasing the accel. He jammed on the brakes and luckily, Rita and Mallow didn't going flying out smack into a wall. If only the same thing could have been be said for Jigglypuff.
"Jiggly..." she said, dazed.
Rita managed to stand up, but was still very weak. "Thank you Mallow. You saved my life. I hate being a burden to you."
"That's not true Rita! You always come thr-" Mallow stopped as he saw the Primids almost upon them. "We'll talk later. We have to get inside." Rita leaned on him as they walked in, while they stopped for Mallow to pick up the dazed Pokemon. They entered a large room with very little light, but enough to vaguely see around the place. "I know you're hurting Rita, but you have to keep talking to me. Where should we go? Is there a safer place from below in here?"
"Yeah. If we keep going through this tunnel, we'll come onto a ledge that hangs over he entrance where you first walk in," she said in a low voice.
Mallow was very concerned, but kept her speaking and followed her directions until they got to the ledge. By now, Jigglypuff had come to her senses and was getting tired of being held, so she jumped from Mallow's hold and landed on the edge of the ledge. By now, a large number of Primids had entered the Cave of Many Voices. They looked around and couldn't see the trio. "Okay, Jigglypuff, start Singing."
She turned away and said, "Jiggly Jig Jig."
"What are you doing? Go for it!" Mallow said, but a little too loudly and the Primids heard him. They spotted the trio and started to climb up the ledge to get to them. Mallow was getting frantic. "Psychopath!" he yelled, looking at her. His mouth dropped open. "You've gotta be kidding! "We're all gonna die!"
"Jig."
"Okay fine," he said very quickly. "Jigglypuff, will you please Sing for us? We would really appreciate it," he said through clenched teeth. But that was good enough for her. Mallow covered his ears and Jigglypuff sang, "Jigg-aly-puff, jigg-aly-puff, jig, jig, jigg-aly-puuuuf." It echoed through out the entire cave, and all the Primids who had been practically upon them, not prepared for such a power, had heard the song very clearly, lost their grip, and fell to their doom. Mallow didn't even have to use any more magic as he had thought, so he had some for later, just in case.
"We did it Rita!" he said, turning to the longneck, only to find her out cold. He smiled, knowing how hard it is for a longneck to cover his of her ears. "She needs the rest anyway. This has been quite the ordeal." He couldn't carry her down; she was too heavy. But he knew that she would be safe up there. Mallow and Jigglypuff were pretty beat too anyway. Mallow slowly slid down the steep incline and called up to Jigglypuff, "I'll stay by the entrance and keep watch," as he looked out. He was surprised at what he noticed. After all the fighting those other guys had done, and after what the trio just did, there were hardly any Primids left to deal with. But he also noticed the battle heating up with those strangers battling that creature radiating all that dark energy. "We've done all we can for now," he said to no one in particular. "The rest is up to those strangers. Good luck you guys." And with that, even though he was "keeping watch" Mallow fell asleep as well, as Jigglypuff soon did the same, leaning against Rita's warm, but still wounded body.
Author's Note:
As the cloud started to pour down its healing rain on Rita, Mallow concentrated right as it opened up, and he heard an extra surge of power. "Phew. I managed to increase its effectiveness. It won't heal her completely, but at least she'll get the full power of my spell."
Allow me to explain that to those who haven't played Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Every single special attack that the five main playable characters from that game- and Mallow is one of them- can use, has the option of being used to its full capacity by pressing the right button or set of buttons at the right time. Since this isn't a video game but is now "real," I simply had Mallow concentrate to boost the effect. The weakness of him being able to do that in this Role Playing Game is that if he is being attacked or gets distracted while using his magic, he will miss the small opportunity he has to do this. And since he only has so many Flower Points- energy to use magic- between getting a full amount sleep- not just a quick nap- he simply can't keep redoing a spell for as long as he would like to. Just letting you all know. Later!

Deimos slashed his right arm upward and immediately 2 blue-white crystal spires rose up by his feet. He seized one spire, which immediately crackled with lightning, and hurled it at Dark Ms. Swimmer.
The crystal spire struck her, causing her to flinch. Deimos grinned and immediately hurled the second spire at her. The second spire missed and flew into the sky, where it exploded, showering Dark Ms. Swimmer with razor sharp shards.
He slashed his right arm upward again and 2 more crystal spires rose up at his feet.

In a small town far from the Great Valley; Tom Nook, the local shopkeeper was closing up shop for the night when a Primid appeared.
"Hey. We're closed. Please leave." Tom Nook said.
The Primid said nothing but instead tried to attack him.
Tom Nook swore and he seized a shovel from a nearby shelf which he used to pound the Primid until it exploded.
The noise caused Timmy and Tommy Nook to run downstairs.
"What is going on?" Timmy asked.
"Something is attacking us." Tom responded.
"More like the town." Tommy said.
Tom and Timmy ran to the front window where Primids were running amok, attacking the inhabitants.
"We've got to help them!" Tom shouted. "Grab whatever you can use as a weapon and join up with me."
With that said, Tom seized an ax on a shelf and hoisted it. He also seized a butterfly net, a fishing rod and a slingshot. He crammed everything into a small rucksack.
Timmy and Tommy both seized the legs of a broken table to use as clubs.
When they were all armed, they headed out to the town to assist. They could see the townsfolk fighting back against the Primids and a large swirling portal .
Alfonso, an Alligator was trying to fight off 2 Primids who were attacking him. He clamped his jaws around one Primid, exploding it but the other one attacked him from behind and knocked him down. He was saved by Savannah the Horse who attacked the Primid with an ax.
"Alfonso, we need to get rid of these things!" Savannah said.
"No kidding." Alfonso said dryly. He picked up a stick to use as a weapon.
(OOC - Anyone can play as the inhabitants of the Animal Crossing world. This includes Timmy and Tommy Nook.)

Dante tossed his stone fragment into the air, then jumped up and caught it in his hand. As he did so, the stone scattered into beams of light, which flew into Dante. As he landed, he reached to the right side of his face, pulling a bone-white mask over his face.
"Spirits, forgive me. Hollowfication!"
In an instant, a black orb enveloped him, and as it dissipated, Dante stood there, transformed. On his arms were plates of bone-white armor, with claws over his hands and dragon-head-shaped plates over his shoulders. On his chest and legs were plates of the same materials as his arm armor, with spikes on the shins of his leg armor. On his back blossomed a pair of skeletal wings. He looked up at his opponent, creating a black portal around his hand. From that portal, he drew a katana, it's scabbard shining brightly.
Virgil shut his eyes as his fragment was absorbed into his body. His right arm hung by his side loosely, and in a moment, he tensed it, a crimson light shining brightly, taking the form of a single wing on his right side.
"This is my true power. Alchemic Drive!"
He said, eyes glowing with power...
Motochika strummed his shamisen once as water pooled around his feet.
"Every wave be my shield! Every song, be my blade!"
He intoned as the water enveloped him. As it burst apart, he stood, his shouldes and chest covered in silver armor. On his head rested a shimmering headband-esque band, and in his hand was his shamisen. The paddle of it was held in his right hand, a blade of sound at the end of it...
-
Deimos looked at the altered form of Virgil, Motochika and Dante. "They'll greatly help in that form." He looked down at himself and only just now noticed that lightning was running across his body and that he was cloaked in a shimmering blue aura.
He slashed his right hand upwards, summoning two more crystal spires which he hurled at his opponent.
He also noticed that even though he had slashed his right hand upwards repeatedly, he did not feel tired.
However he was not paying attention and one of Dark Ms. Swimmer's sapling sized clubs caught him across the head.
Deimos did not feel the impact, nor was he affected; it was as though the attack passed through him.
He raised his right arm again, summoning two more crystal spires which he seized and hurled at Dark Ms. Swimmer. One spire struck a club and exploded, showering the area with crystalline shards. The other spire slammed into Dark Ms. Swimmer's shoulder, causing visible pain.
-
"This seems hopeless! The only way we'll even be able to do anything is with a powerful, focused blow. Nothing in my arsenal is like that, and I'm pretty sure nothing in yours is that either. Ganondorf and Captain Falcon have something like that, but what are the odds that Captain Falcon will come diving out of the sky preparing to deliver a..."
Just then, a portal opened up and Captain Falcon came diving through said portal and was preparing to deliver the canonical
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t42/marves_cousin/thFALCON-PUNCH.gif)
(OOC: I've really been wanting to do this since I decided to join in as C. Falcon)
-
Dark Ms. Swimmer staggered from the powerful blow. She immediately turned her attention to Captain Falcon and tried to crush him using her sapling sized clubs.
Deimos continued summoning and hurling his crystal spires at Dark Ms. Swimmer. The electrically charged crystals tore into her.
-
"Hey Swimmer!" Link called from the back. "You forgot somebody!"
Link threw the crystal in the air and jumped, striking it with the Four Sword while shouting:
"Gather up! Line formation, horizontal!"
The sword shone for an instant and Link was divided into four, of different colours, from green to red, violet and blue. The three carried identical swords and shields, as well as tunics.
"Ok, strike in with a jump dash, guys!" Green instructed, jumping towards the giant along with the three other, initiating the multiple slashes. Vio - presumably, the violet tunic one - however, was performing a series of forward stabs. Quite the teamwork, in a side note.
---------
"Where did they go...?" Kyro mumbled. "I only heard Jigglipuff's name and... they disappeared from my sight..."
The rockback looked up. The Cave of many Voices, just there...
"I wonder if they went in..."
(OOC: To Starfall: Will is still up there, and the armada is about to strike. Keep track on both parts, please.)
-
Deimos's constant barrage of electrically charged crystal spires, Link's 4-fold assault and the Falcon Punch took its toll, Dark Ms. Swimmer was apparently injured and her attacks were slowing down. She tried to bat away one of Deimos's crystal spires only to have the spire explode and shower her with crystalline shards that tore into her.
"She's weakening!" Deimos shouted, hurling his spires. He summoned two more and grabbed them.
Hyp, Nod, Mutt and Strut also joined in by hurling rocks at her.
"The rocks won't do anything! She's too powerful!" Deimos shouted.
"What shall we do?" Strut shouted back.
Deimos looked out of the corner of his eye and saw a horde of various Primids approaching. "Kill those things we fought in the cave!"
Hyp, Nod, Mutt and Strut charged the Primid army.
Hyp and Strut began spearing as many Primids as they could reach. Nod simply charged the mass, flinging some aside and trampling others. Mutt stood by Hyp, punching, kicking and grabbing any nearby Primids.
-
As the four Links finished their attack, Dante nodded to Virgil and Motochika.
"Alright guys! Our turn! Delta Finale!"
He yelled, throwing both arms out to the side.
"Okay! Here we go! Demonic Rise!"
Virgil roared, striking the ground with his glowing right hand. Underneath Mrs. Swimmer, the ground shook, and the two spires of stone shot out from under her, knocking her into the air and preventing her from stopping the next attack, though they drew no blood.
"My turn! Maximum Hollow Reaping!"
Dante exclaimed, leaping into the air as he drew his sword. He lunged forward, then struck multiple times at high speed, though his strikes drew no blood. To end his part of the attack, he flipped high into the air, charging and firing a cero blast to launch Mrs. Swimmer back to the ground, where Motochika waited.
"Now, I strike! Great Wave Calamity!"
Motochika intoned, summoning a wave behind himself to strike Mrs. Swimmer with force equal to a tidal wave, pushing her back. As she came to rest, the thee landed in a triangle around her, blades drawn.
"Now..."
"This is... "
"True Justice!"
The three stated in unison, lunging at her simultaneously, each slashing as they did so...
______________________________________
Will and Falco flew towards the armada, with Krystal alongside them. As the neared the ships, a red mobile frame approached.
"Hey there, boss! Good to see you. Nice to see you, too Will!"
Adrian laughed from the cockpit of the Seraph...
-
Dark Ms. Swimmer collapsed on the ground as the 3 finished their attack.
"I'll finish her off!" Deimos shouted. He grabbed two of the electrically charged spires, leapt high into the air and seemed to hang from the air itself. His body crackled with lightning.
Deimos then flew at high speed, with crystal spires outstretched, into Dark Ms. Swimmer's head.
He no longer resembled a sickleclaw but a large dart of blue-white energy as he struck.
As he crashed into Dark Ms. Swimmer, she began to disintegrate into shadow bugs that evaporated.
Deimos picked himself up from the crater he made from his attack. His body still had traces of lightning running across it but he no longer had the blue-white aura surrounding it and his eyes were no longer a glowing blue-white but a clear amber, their normal color.
He then walked over to Link. "She's finished."
-
"Falcon! You came just in time!" Ike said as he rushed over to the man in the helmet with the purple suit on.
"What is going on here? The world is going crazy." Captain Falcon replied.
-
Green raise his sword and the four united, becoming a Link again.
"You think we should collect a trophy out of her? Just in case...?" Link inquired, doubtfuly looking at the fallen swimmer.
Wow, man... worlds are fusing agan... He thought. I wonder if Master Hand is behind all this...
------
"Oh, man, Adrian, you gave mea hell of a scare... I though you were Starwolf or something..." Will replied, sighing in relief. "We were just about to check on the nebula. Shouldn't we havegone already?"
-
Deimos shrugged. "Why not?"
Suddenly the unconscious form of Ms. Swimmer began to materialize.
"If you're gonna get a trophy from her, I think you should hurry."
-
"How am I suppose to do that?! Do you have a Trophy Stand?!" Link commented, sheathing the sword.
As soon as he stopped talking, a yellow arrow head beam trespassed the swimmer, throwing it away in the shape of a Trophy, as well as throwing all around it against the nearbiest obstacles, still "untrophyfied".
"What was that...?!" Link shouted, looking to a nearby concentration of bushes. Something was moving within it, and that "something" broke over the trees and showed itself, a rather large, crab monster made out of rock. "Guys... we've got problems again..."
Link noticed there was a kind of countdown in its eyes, at whch he gulped.
"And I don't think we should be here for too long!" He added.
(OOC: I thought on intoducing Golyura in, too, snc a Susbpace Bomb is going to erupt here anytime, right?)
-
Dante wheeled around, facing the new opponent.
"Tch. One after the other, I see..."
He said, drawing his blade again, ready...
Virgil looked over his shoulder, then turned to face the foe.
"Come, you miserable thing. Face us, if you want to die."
He menaced, his arm glowing brightly....
Motochika flicked his sonic blade, shifting to a ready stance.
"Will they never cease? It is fate, I suppose."
He muttered gravely, ready...
"Ah...Guys. We really should start running about now, don't you think?"
Kai stammered backing away from the thing in front of them...
_________________________________________________________________________
Adrian laughed.
"Please. You think Starwolf has Frames like this? I don't think so. And yeah, you're right. We should be checking out the Nebula soon. So what're we waiting for? Let's go!"
He exclaimed, rolling his unit towards the nebula...
-
"He's got a subspace bomb inside him...!" Link gulped, uncertain of what to do. "Maybe we should..."
He stopped for a few moments.
"No, we should fight if off! Let's go!" He added, jumping towards the beast with the sword turned down, ready to stab.
However, the beast raised his smaller pince and opened it, revealing a rather small cannon which shot various burning bullets at him.
Link managed to escape a few, deflecting one with his sword.
However, this made him lose his amo, being thrown away by the bigger pince.
---------
The fleet followed its way into the nebula...
However, the radars we're starting to lose their capacity... instead, they located only a large accumulation of energy in the middle.
"There's something there! Could it be a black hole?!" Will shouted.
-
"Link! I'm on my way." Ike said as he brandished his sword. He then jumped into the air, and shot towards the beast with his sword prepared to slash at the beast.
Captain Falcon was also on the move. He began running towards the beast, and then began charging at the beast in a fiery charge.
-
"What's subspace bomb?" Deimos asked.
"Well I heard the announcer when we fought Link scream something about a subspace bomb and everyone started leaving." Hyp replied.
"Hmm. Then it must be something very dangerous. But it can't be more dangerous that thing we just fought!" Deimos brandished his stone ax. "Bring it!"
Strut went to check on Ms. Swimmer. "Ugh what happened?" she asked, holding her head.
"You were taken over by something and that something is preparing to kill Deimos, Dante and everyone else."
"Can't have that." Ms. Swimmer stood up and brandished her twin sticks.
(OOC - anyone can take Ms. Swimmer. I inserted her as an Assist Trophy in my vision so in this version which is "reality" she'd be a bystander who wishes to fight.)
--------
Tom , Timmy and Tommy were holding off against several Primids at the Wishing Well.
Tom threw his tools in to the wishing well.
"What are you doing?!" Savannah demanded, as she cut a Fire Primid in half.
"Just wait!" Tom replied. As soon as he spoke the tools he threw in levitated from the pool, but the tools glowed with a radiant golden aura.
Tom then hurled the Golden Ax at Primid in the distance. The ax cleaved the Primid in half and flew out of sight.
Alfonso, who used his stick to parry a Sword Primid's attack and retaliated by biting the Primid's arm off gasped as he noticed that the ax rematerialized in Tom's hand.
-
Dante looked at it.
"If this bomb is so dangerous, I think it's time to take things to a safer place! Here we go! Garganta!"
He yelled, then the space near the group warped into a chaotic tunnel for a moment, before the world around them changed. Instead of the Valley, they stood in a barren, gray plain, surrounded by spires of strange stone. The sky was heavy with clouds, and the area itself seemed to radiate spirit energy.
"Welcome to Hueco Mundo. The world of the Hollows."
Dante said, lunging with his blade at the creature...
________________________________________________________________________
"Nah. Can't be a black hole. Otherwise, this nebula would be moving a lot more than it is. There's something there. Will, Adrian! C'mon, we're going in for a closer look!"
Falco declared, pulling out of formation and heading towards the anomaly...
"Right. On your wing, boss!"
Adrian responded, following the Sky Claw...
-
"What is this place...?" Link inquired, looking around.
He walked around for moment and turned around.
"We should have stayed... A subsapce Bomb is dangerous. It engulfs anything in its path into darkness, Subspace... things completely change there... At least, we should have fought that guy off..."
--------
"Large energy field detected!" Will alerted, trying to keep his controls in place.
However, just as he thought he had everything controlled, the Airwing's engines suddenly stop.
"Adrian, Falco, I'm needing help! Im about to go into that danged portal!"
-
Deimos turned to Link. "Where are we?"
Hyp brandished his spear. "I don't know but this place creeps me out."
Ms. Swimmer brandished her dual sticks. "I don't like this. Where's Ducky?"
"She's back at the Great Valley."
"She'll be safe there."
"No she won't." Deimos countered, "A subspace bomb just exploded. I don't know what it is or what it does but it's something really dangerous."
-
"We can only hope there are more people inthat world of yours that an push that monster away before the bomb really blows up, Deimos... I saw a countdown. WE STILL HAD TIME." Link replied, using his hands expressively.
The swordsman turned around.
"Now I even fear for the lives of those in the Great Valley." He darkly added.
-
"The Great Valley has many veterans of the old war which we now call 'War of the Beyond'. Sadly, I'm not sure if even the toughest of them - Mr. Clubtail, Blue-Scale, Diamondclaw, Mr. and Mrs. Longneck, Mr. Threehorn, Bron - can do anything against that creature. And the other veterans, the two-footers; even though they can still use the weapons in the armory with deadly skill, they don't stand a chance against that creature. I'll tell you some more war stories when we have some spare time. For now, we need to get out of here." Deimos replied.
"Hey Dante, where exactly are we?" Hyp asked. "This doesn't look like any place I ever seen before. Not even during the War of the Beyond."
-
"If we had enough time, we could have at least disposed of the bomb. Maybe even disarm it, if we had sufficient time." Captain Falcon said.
"This place might have saved us from that subspace bomb, but I don't feel any safer than fighting that beast. This place, it has an evil feel to it." Ike added, looking at the barren landscape.
-
(OOC: Dante brought the thing with them. It's in Hueco Mundo with them)
Adrian saw Will's fighter stall, and immediately launched a pair of grappling cords out to snare the stalled fighter.
"Got ya, Will."
He said, smiling.
"What the-? We shouldn't get any closer to that thing. We can't say for sure what else might happen."
Falco added, warily...
-
(OOC: Psst, how did he bring a subspace bomb? They should be dead by now. Let's keep at as if the bomb stayed in the Great Valley. I think, anyways. ._.)
"Dante, we can't stay here forever... from the last invasion, Subspace conquered all of the locations they visited. I'm pretty damn sure it will do the same again, but... with a new mastermind behind..." Link remembered. "We should try to contact with Master Hand from the Smash Mansion. There's a warp in the ruins in the desert, we'll need to start from there to the Mansion, due to the west."
-
(OOC - Yeah, I like the idea that the bomb went off in the Great Valley. I wouldn't make too much sense if it went off in the dimension the group is in and they are unharmed.)
"How far do we have to go?" Deimos asked.
"Hopefully not too far. This place is creepier than anything I saw in the War of the Beyond." Strut replied.
-
(OOC: I concur. If that beast was transported, we all would have to edit our posts to fix the error.)
"What we need now ... is a portal. I think, though, that we won't find one anytime soon. Falcon, you came through a portal right?" Ike commented.
"Yeah. So?" Captain Falcon replied.
"So, I don't think our luck sides with the appearance of a portal where we need to go." Ike replied.
-
"Well, there' gotta be a way out..." Link added, sighing. I wish I knew it..."
--------
"There's something inside the portal... like, I see a planet..." Will commented.
-
"So Ike. What shall we do now? We can't wait and see if a portal will just appear, can we?" Deimos asked.
Strut still had his spear at the ready. "We really need to get out of here. The only problem is how."
Ms. Swimmer stood by Link's side. She looked around for anything dangerous.
-------------
Tom, Timmy, Tommy, Savannah and Alfonso were holding off some Primids.
Tommy clubbed a Fire Primid with his table leg until it exploded.
Tom used his slingshot to shoot a rock through some Primids which Savannah and Alfonso finished off with their ax and stick respectively.
Timmy parried an attack from a Sword Primid with his table. "Will these things stop?"
-
"Ok, I'm done waiting! I' going to sarch for a portal even if its the last thing I do! For Fafore!" Link muttered, turning around. "And I think I know how to find one... but we'll need something that can go fast... speed of sound fast." He emphasized.
-
Dante chuckled.
"No need for that. Do you know where the nearest portal is?"
He asked knowingly...
-
"I haven't got the least." Link answered, turning around again. "But I'm sure you know where it is... after all, you brought us here." He added. "My idea was to create a portal, but if you can save time..."
-
Dante shut his eyes, holding his hand out.
"Here we go, Garganta Regresa!"
He yelled, opening a spinning, crackling portal near the group.
"Go ahead. I'll stay here, to keep the portal stable. Go! I'll be right behind you. I promise..."
He trailed off...
-
Hyp, Nod, Mutt, Deimos and Strut looked at the portal.
"Well, anything is better than this weird place." Deimos said. "Well, I'm going in," With that said, Deimos walked into the portal and vanished.
"I'm not letting Deimos go alone!" Strut shouted. He then walked into the portal and vanished.
"Well, if they are going so am I!" Hyp stated. He too walked into the portal and vanished.
"Hey Hyp, wait up!" Nod shouted. He too entered the portal and vanished.
"Uh, yeah!" Mut added, walking into the portal.
"Well, after you Link." Ms. Swimmer said, gesturing to the portal with one of her sticks.
-
"Do you know where this is going? I don't want to end up in the vacuum of space without a suit." Captain Falcon asked.
"Nor do I. I also want to avoid Subspace. That would be worse than a vacuum." Ike added.
(OOC: I'm about half-way through designing another character. Would it be okay if I bring him in?)
-
"Hey you stupid crocodile! Gimme back my coin!" Mallow exclaimed.
"Wake up!" came the response.
"No. I'm going to get you now and I'm not dreaming."
The crocodile pulls a bomb out of his bag and throws it right at Mallow... Bam! Mallow grabbed his head in pain.
"Jiggly jig jiggly!"
"Huh?" Mallow said, opening his eyes. "What the-?" He was back in the Cave of Many Voices.
"You were dreaming about a "crocodile" and "coin." I told you to 'Wake up' but you wouldn't so Jigglypuff whacked your head," Rita explained.
"Oh."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Uh, maybe after the war is over here."
"The- ? Oh my goodness you're right! I wasn't thinking! We have a battle going on outside. Let's go back out there," Rita said.
"Oh, don't get that worked up. Yeah, we'll go help finish things, but there isn't all that much more to worry about. We got rid of a lot of these things and those other guys got a rid of a few," Mallow responded.
"A few? They got rid of a lot too when we arrived and they had been fighting for a while before we even arrived, considering all the bodies that already covered the ground. And that rumbling is gone too. So they must've taken care of the big one you couldn't."
"I could have; I chose not to since they seem "better" as I said before."
"Will you please drop that? Oh, and by the way, did you recover your Flower Points?"
"No. I need a full sleep, not a short nap like this one. I still have some power though. How are your wounds?"
"They are fine," Rita told him. But it was a good thing Mallow hadn't asked how her wounds felt, or her answer would have been different. "I'm going to go outside and get a good look around."
"But Rita, your-"
"Wounds are healing, thanks to you. Don't worry. I'm just looking." So Rita left through the opening, paused, then shouted, "They're gone!"
Mallow chuckled. "Told you we got rid of most of 'em."
"Some of those things are still here. All those good fighting guys are gone. The dinosaurs are doing the fighting," Rita said in despair.
"What!?" Mallow asked in disbelief. "They deserted us! They really don't want us around!"
"Uh, Mallow, I may not know "times" perfectly yet, but I think we were sleeping for over an hour. They can't just wait around for us. How could they have found us in here anyway? Do you think it wise to look for three new faces for an hour during a life or death situation like this when they won't even work with you?"
"We wouldn't -!?"
"Yeah. After they got too busy to hear you say Jigglypuff's plan, you've been blowing them off completely. You wouldn't even help them with that earthshake maker."
What could Mallow say besides she was right? It wasn't those guys' fault they had to go and fight elsewhere. Yet he intentionally has been ignoring them.
He sighed and said, "You being right is getting old, Rita. Okay, let's go out there and help the dinosaurs fight the last of these things, and if we see those guys again, I'll try to work with them."
"Thanks," Rita said with a smile.
"Jig Jig Jig Jiggly!"
"Psychopath... Oh. Okay. I'll let them know."
"What did she say?"
"She looks forward to fighting alongside those guys too, and also teaching them manners."
"Uh, manners? What was wrong with them?"
"She had said that boys always could use more manners."
"Oh. Well I don't know if we'll see them again or not, but let's go out and protect the Great Valley!" Rita shouted, but as she started to hurry out, although she tried to hide it, Mallow noticed her wince.
"I summon Snowy!" He shouted, and a large snowman appreared, blocking her path.
"Mallow?"
"Look Rita. Would you keep me from worrying at the cost of your life? I can see your pain. Your wounds can't be fully healed if you have to wince like that just to move. Do you think I'd worry less if you weren't alive to worry about?"
Mallow's words stunned Rita. He was the right one now. She didn't want her friends to feel bad, but if she pushes herself until she can't go on, they'd be devastated. "Thanks Mallow. I won't do anything unless I absolutely have to."
"Why do you thank me? What else can a friend do?'
And Rita smiled at those words as Mallow cancelled his summon and he and Jigglypuff ran out into battle while Rita stayed behind, watching them and hoping they'd be okay.
Author's Note:
The dream Mallow had at the beginning of this, low quality as it was, is an actual reference to an event he experienced on his world, in case you didn't know.
-
"Oh, hum..." Link blushed a little and assumed a firm position. "Right. Let's go!"
Link spun the sword twice on the hand and jumped into the portal with a flip.
The temperature was rising.
---------
Kyro jump awoke as two figures ran by his bush, seeing them off. The same he had seen earlier.
However, there was one missing.
The rockback suspiciously stared at the cave and slowly walked into it, looking around.
"Hello?" He called. "Anybody here?"
(OOC: Sure thing, lbt/cty.)
-
Rita had seen someone coming and had hid. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, she just didn't trust her safety just yet. She doesn't judge the heart by appearance, only the potential. And this guy looked tough- deadly. But she had hid nearby instead of running away, because with her power, she knew he did not want to hurt her, but with that body of his, it may not matter if he wants to or not.
She waited to see if he'd say anything else. But she so hoped he would, and that this would be a way for her small group and those others to ally themselves together, for although they fought the same enemy, it didn't make them an official "team" yet. But she had no idea how she could help him with the pain she had. While she hoped for conversation with him, she also hoped it would not result in action thereof, because moving itself was a hardship for her right now.
-
Kyro took a few seps forward and looked around. It seemed as if the cave was empty.
"But I saw them coming into this place..." The rockback mumbled, proceeding further into the cave. "Is anyone here?" He called out again, stopping in the midle of what seemed a circular stage-like space between the rock walls. "Dead-end..."
-
Rita wasn't going to let him wonder around when he obviously had something important to say. If this was just a quick inspection, she doubted he would keep walking until he came to a wall, yet continue glancing around as he did. The friendly inquistions he kept calling out finally made her completely comfortable to find out what he wanted.
She stepped out, her beautiful blue skin gleamed between the several gashes that were almost healed, but still evident enough to notice.
"What is you want?" she called to him. "How can I help you?"
-
Kyro jumped in surprise and turned around with his heart accelerated.
The beat eased as he realized that the figure calling him had been the one he saw as missing.
"Who... who are you?" Kyro mumbled, hesitating in a few steps forward. "I mean... why didn't you go with the others?"
The rockback gulped.
Oh my... He thought.
-------
"Falco! We should get in! There's a intense fight going on down there! The portal's giving direct connection to some kind of town!" Will called, trying to rearrange his flight tools.
-
"I am Rita the longneck, and judging from your expression, need I explain my lack of particiaption? They do not hurt as badly as you think right now though. I just need to rest for a bit."
But as she sat back down, she dropped herself heavily from wearyness, instead of easing down gently. As she landed, she bit her teeth to hold in her pain. Two large gashes had just reopened and she was in agony. The blood was no minor thing.
"Augh!"
-
Ms. Swimmer leapt into the portal.
-----
Tom, Timmy, Tommy, Savannah and Alfonso had killed dozens upon dozens of Primids.
"We're not going to make it!" Alfonso shouted, snapping at a Primid with his jaws.
"Don't say that! Everyone is helping!" Savannah shouted, decapitating a Fire Primid with her ax.
"She's right, look!" Tom said, pointing into the distance. He hurled his Golden Ax at a Big Primid causing it to explode. He then grabbed a nearby Primid, forced it to the ground and stabbed it in the back with his Golden Shovel.
Timmy and Tommy simultaneously set upon a Big Primid, battering endlessly with their table legs until it exploded.
In the distance Kapp'n and Gracie turned their cars into battering rams and were using them to run down Primids.
Alongside of them were the other inhabitants, who were fighting off the Primids with tools and whatever else they could use as a weapon.
(OOC - I have to finish Deimos's moveset. I'll put it up when I'm done.)
-
"Rita!" Kyro called out, running to the longneck's side. "Oh my, you aren't well, that's for sure..."
Pressure was rising over Kyro as his heart beat sped. He couldn't let that much blood come out...
"Rita, tell me, what can I do...?!" The rockback asked in a rushed tone, trying to keep calm.
---------
Link spat out a mouthful of sand and coughed from another mouthful.
No wonder temperature had rised...
"We're in the desert..." He claimed nder the scorching sun, whipping the sweat on his forehead using the tunic's sleeve.
-
Deimos, Ms. Swimmer, Hyp, Nod Mutt, and Strut toppled out of the portal.
"Damn it is hot." Deimos said.
"Where are we?" Hyp asked.
"I think it's a desert." Strut replied. "Everyone, ready your weaponry."
At those words, Hyp, Deimos, Strut and Ms. Swimmer readied all their weapons.
-
"Wait... we sould spare energy. If we wanna get across this, we'll have to look for somewherewe can guide ourselves with... like a mountain." Link suggested. "That, or we'll die toasted."
A minor sound echoe into Link's ear.
The swordsman slowly turned around and withdrew the bow, pointing it up. The sandstorm had passed.
However, he quickly lowered the weapon and his jaws dropped as a large flock of Auroros flew over them, threatning with their sharp beaks.
"We've got troule people!"
-
"Oh no. Not more fighting. I'm sick of having to slice through hordes of enemies that are killed with just one blow." Ike said as he exited the portal. He drew his sword in preparation for the oncoming fight.
"Hey! At least it isn't a boss battle, Ike. Be thankful for that." C. Falcon said as he too exited the portal.
-
Dante smiled as the last of the group leapt through the portal.
"Sorry. I guess some promises can't be kept. When you guys finally pass on, I'll see you again...Goodbye..."
He whispered, as the portal closed in front of him...
________________________________________________________________________
Falco and Adrian nodded.
"Right! Let's go!"
Adrian yelled, banking the Seraph towards the portal.
"Yeah. Who am I to turn down a scrap?"
Falco added, joining the two as they flew into the portal...
(Adrian's moves are coming up soon)
-
"Hey Dante's not here!" Deimos shouted, he readied his club.
Hyp and Mutt readied their stone knives and a spear, respectively.
"Hmm. more fighting but that's the way it goes." Strut said, readying his spear.
-
"Where's Dante?!" Link asked, turning around quickly to avoid any surprise attack from above.
Indeed, after a strange sound, an Auroros fell behind Link, pricking it's beak into the sand.
Link slashed the bird-like creature away and looked around.
"We should search a cave or something!" He shouted, taking another Auroros down using the bow.
-----
Will accelerated into the portal and looked down.
"They're having trouble with those cretures!" Will announced. "It seems they've got it under control, but should we help?"
-
"That's what I'd like to know!" Hyp shouted, hurling his knife into an Auroros and downing it.
Strut hurled his spear into another Auroros also downing it.
Both Strut and Hyp retrieved their weapons from the dead Auroroses.
Deimos dodged an Auroro's dive and clubbed it as it was stuck in the sand.
Ms. Swimmer also dodged an Auroros. She ran up to it and pounded away at it with her twin sticks.
-
Elsewhere in the Cave of Many Voices...
Rita smiled weakly at the powerful looking creature before her that was being so kind.
"Really, you don't need to worry about me. Dinosaurs do have a lot of blood you know," she said, trying to make a joke, but when she tried to laugh, the way her whole body moved made her hurt worse. "Ah."
"Listen, my friends will be back soon. Please don't let me burden you. Just go."
At that moment, two Primids had snuck in. They were really big compared to most of them. The two noticed the primids but Rita called, "Just run! I'm already endangering you just by keeping you here by talking. I can't keep putting other through trouble. I'll handle them myself."
She quickly staggered to her feet as she stumbled over to take on the enemies.
-
Kyro hesitated but nodded, turning away.
However, just as he was about to run, something came to his mind... he had already left Cera fall on the other creature's cluthes...
not again. He thought, turning around.
"I won't let you here!" He shouted, jumping to Rita's side with firm look. "Not after I lost her!"
(OOC: Gee, insert SSBB's song version of "Encounter" here. o.o)
--------
"Hey, in there!" Link shouted, pointing at a small cave hole in the sand.
-
(OOC: Gee, insert SSBB's song version of "Encounter" here. o.o)
Great idea, and sure, no problem. I think that fits very well here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XvKcWfNiPg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XvKcWfNiPg)
(I am nowhere near Serris' level of mastery on this, but I can be somewhat assertive in battles myself.)
"But-" then when Rita saw the determined look in his eyes, she would no longer reject his involvement. She understood all about doing what you felt strongly for.
Now she had to do everything she could to make sure this creature doesn't pay for staying with her. She couldn't fight her best in this beaten body of hers. She knew she wasn't fully ready to do something like this, and she found it very scary to be like that, but those things didn't matter now. She had to try, to do everything in her power to keep them both safe.
"Wish mode!" she called. White rings of energy started on her feet. They ran up her body, changing it. Her back legs were smaller but more muscular and her front legs were no longer legs but arms, with razor sharp claws at the end. Her body stood straight and her neck shortened. Her face narrowed and her flat teeth were no longer flat, and now filled her mouth.
She roared fiercly and charged at one of the primids. This one had a sword and it swung down at her. She reached up and blocked with her claws. The primid applied more power in this game of force and the pressure on her claws made them start to bleed, but she didn't even notice the pain.
She roared even louder and spun her arm around suddenly while pincing the blade between her claws and the primid lost its grip on the sword as it flew away and hit the ground with a thud. She wasted no time and pounced on it. It kicked her hard to knock her off but she was merely shoved back a little and she bit into its arm. She tightened her grip and the primid could not get loose. She smiled evily as she licked up the blood that was coming from its arm.
She eventually let go so it would try to run, but as it stood up, she grabbed its throat and shoved it against a wall. She was smaller than it, but she knew nothing but aggression right now. A good blow to the stomach would cause even more gasping for breath, something it couldn't even do very well now.
With her free arm, she curled her claws up in a fist and pummeled its lower abdomen until it was too low on oxygen to sustain motor movement. As its body started to go limp, she actually let go so it wouldn't die just yet, and then repeatedly slashed into it deeply to cause even more pain, and the whole time, she seemed to be enjoying this.
Sharpteeth are born with very strong instinct and agression. Flatteth are more peaceful and doen't have such intense tendencies. Since sharpteeth have them naturally, they learn to control them and use discretion, so they don't get berserk in battles.
But Rita, like any other leaf eater would, currently has extreme difficulty switching from her own mindset to another one that is so contrary to it. She doesn't naturally have such instinctive behavior, so to get so much all at once would completely overwhelm her, and she would lose herself in the process.
She couldn't control this power yet, but she could always see everything she was doing, and she cried inside the whole time she was like this. She only changed in a dire situation where more fighting power was needed. Although she wanted to more than anything, as of now, she hasn't learned use her power and her mind at the same time.
Someone who cared for her like Mallow or Jigglypuff would get through to her heart and she could overcome it and return to her senses and change back. But they were both gone and she had acted rashly now because her judgement was clouded by worry. Her body could keep this up for a very long time, but her feelings screamed in anguish. She really needed help, but she didn't know anyone else who cared about her that was around.
-
Kyro watched as the longneck, now mutated, stroke over the Primids with ferocious power, leaving Kyro's hands still full with the other Primid.
While the rockback did look around for anything to use in his aid, he realized that his pitty stones wouldn't do a thing to a giant creature.
During this moment, though, the Primid had enough time to take a dash towards him.
Kyro realized of the strike not a moment too soon, being able to curl and make a jump while rotating, falling over the Primid with brutal speed.
Having left the Primid immobile for a moment, Kyro spun down the back of the creature and made a quick dash against a nearby wall, quickly turning and hitting the Primid once again at high speed, throwing it upwards.
-
No matter how hard she "tried" to keep the it alive, even a primid could only handle so much damage. As its body went limp again, this time it didn't recover. She threw it down and turned to see the powerful creature from before taking down his opponent down as well.
But she wasn't herself right now. She roared fiercely at the rockback and actually approached him in a not so friendly way. She had such strength, but she was not able to process thoughts clearly. The rockback could have taken her down with his great strength, durablilty, skills, and strategy, which combined could defeat her. If they fought all out, Rita would be the one not to make it.
As she came at him, she stopped and bit her arm hard enough to draw her own blood. Her heart tried to stop her body by hurting it, but such pain didn't phase this body enough. Someone needed to step in since she didn't have the willpower to stop herself.
It had better be soon, because she just jumped at the rockback. She may even have to be gotten through to by force. As of now, words won't mean too much from a stranger. She snapped at him.
-
"That's better than nothing!" Hyp shouted, running towards the hole in the sand.
Mutt, Deimos, Strut and Nod all ran towards the hole.
Ms. Swimmer tried but a Sword Primid blocked her path and swiped at her.
"Big mistake." Ms. Swimmer said, parrying a blow from the sword and retaliating with a blow to the Primid's neck.
The Primid flinched but still kept attacking. Ms. Swimmer parried an overhead sword blow and struck the Primid in the ribs, winding it for a brief moment.
Ms. Swimmer then closed in on the Primid, slammed the butt of the stick in her right hand into the Primid's shoulder, forcing it to drop its sword.
Ms. Swimmer kicked the sword away and performed a tail sweep that knocked the Primid to the ground. She finished the Primid off by stomping its head.
She then ran into the hole.
"What took so long?" Strut asked.
"I got attacked."
-
Link spun on himself to repel a group of Primids and jumped into the hole, where he sat against the wall and heavily sighed.
"We've been having nothing but bad luck. There's enemies everywhere." He commented, sheathing the sword. "Its impossible for us to go anywhere if we can't just get past all of them..."
----------
Kyro looked up and gulped, quickly curling to avoid further damage.
However, that couldn't be enough.
Therefore, Kyro rolled under her and stopped behind, uncurling.
"Rita, snap out of it! The enemies are gone!" He called out.
It didn't seem to have any effect, though... and this made Kyro gulp and push more ideas out of the brains...
There's gotta be a way...
-
This time, Rita jumped on him and slashed his back, although this only hurt her, since her claws couldn't cut into a hide that hard. She jumped off and threw a large rock at him, which was deflected by his back as well. She roared at the top of her lungs.
Kyro didn't understand, but she had screamed, "Fight me! Why won't you fight back?" As she was now, she couldn't comprehend why an "enemy" wouldn't retaliate. Maybe he wasn't an enemy? But that knowledge couldn't register in her just yet. She snapped and snarled in his face getting ready to slash into it.
"Surely he'll try to kill me now," she thought.
-
Kyro snarled during a moment, but inside, he was hesitating:
Do something... A voice kept echoing.
The rockback curled while spinning in the air, just over Rita's head, falling at high speed.
However, and thanks to a great timing, Kyro uncurled and fell over the creature's head uncurled, bringing it closer to the floor only.
"There's someone here who is needing you right now!" Kyro shouted as he looked at her in the eyes. Kyro took a deep breath and shouted with his lungs: "Rita!"
The name echoed through the cave, colliding with every wall that seemed to cross its path.
-
"Hey, Link. I think I found a way to get past the Primids. I have one question, though, and this is to the entire group. Whose Final Smash hits the most targets?" Ike said as he pointed towards the multi-colored orb that was moving erratically around the cave over everyone else's heads.
"Well, I'm not sure how many of them I could hit with Blue Falcon. Probably about a dozen or two would go down. What about you, Ike?" Captain Falcon replied.
"Mine's no good. Great Aether isn't meant for more than a handful of targets."
-
"I don't know what a 'final smash' is but that crystal strike attack I used against Dark Ms. Swimmer allows me to pull crystals from the ground and throw them at enemies. Even if the crystals miss, they'll shatter into a bunch of tiny fragments that will tear apart anything in their path." Deimos said.
"I can simply trample these things underfoot." Nod added.
-
Virgil smirked.
"I can probably hit most of these guys too."
He added, flexing his glowing arm...
Motochika nodded.
"The same for me. But, I doubt my attack will function as well here, where there is no water to easily access."
He sighed, holding a ready stance...
-
While the fighting outside continued, the battle in the Cave of Many Voices drew to a close...
Rita clutched her throbbing head. She seemed dazed, and her body seemed to jerk involuntarily. While this was happening, she again jumped on Kyro's back, but this time, she didn't try clawing him or anything else like that. She was sniffing him very intently. Not long afterwards, she fell off of him and lay sprawled on the ground. She wasn't moving.
It looked like she was dead, but a low growl could be heard coming from her mouth, and those white rings came back, and this time they did the opposite as before. Very quickly, she was a longneck again, old wounds and all.
She slowly opened her eyes to see the rockback beside her, and she got to her feet. "Oh, thank you so much."
Kyro had no idea what was going on with her, but since he did just save her, he has a right to know.
"Listen, I'm one dinosaur, but two of them at the same time."
She wasn't making sense so far, so she elaborated further.
"This world has two separate realitites, the newer one created by an old friend of mine. All but a select few inhabitants of it have a different form, one for each. Those that are split up have a sharptooth and leaf eater version. In fact, if you are from this world too, you have another version yourself, you just can't get to it.
Now when I was pulled from this world, which is another long story, I was transported entirely all at once, so my two forms merged into one being. My original form is the longneck one you see, and I can change into my sharptooth one by calling the words, "Wish mode."
My strength and fighting skills are greatly increased, but I haven't mastered controlling the switch between my way of thinking and that of a sharptooth, which is aggressive and uses a lot of instinct. When I'm like that, my carnal side takes over and I can't control my body. But while my mind can't be reached, my heart is still open.
Those that I know that care about me can reach me by connected to the feelings deep within that vicious form. I know I'll learn to use it right someday, I just need practice. My two friends have always been nearby to bring me back, but I don't work with it much because it's scary in there. I can still see all the horrible things I'm doing.
I just- couldn't let you get hurt after you stayed to protect me, so I changed anyway. I just didn't expect that I'd turn on you too. My friends weren't here now though, so I took a big risk not knowing what would happen.
I have your scent now though. Reaching me doesn't seem to last very long, so before changing back, I used that time to jump on you and get a good sniff. Before I lost it again, I said, "True form," which changed me back. If you ever see me like that again, you won't have so much trouble bringing me back to my senses.
After seeing you in action here though, I now know that you could have handled both of those things by yourself; I only made things worse. I'm so sorry. I got so worried I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me," she finished, getting on her knees before the great creature, even though it greatly pained her to do so.
She wondered how he would take this. He knew she was very dangerous. Would he just let her go? She waited for him to say something.
-
Kyro smirked as it the creature turned back into a longneck before his eyes, approaching Rita after the transformation ended and the explanation was made.
"Listen... there's no problem." He soothed, lying by her. "Whatever is done to help, its for help. And if you're dangerous or in danger, I'l stay here, either ways. I've lost someone already, and I..." Kyro stopped and looked down. "I don't want to lose anyone more." He finished.
---------
"Mine's good for multiple targets." Link added, showing the Four Sword. "One Link can take on various targets."
He sheathed the sword again.
"What's your plan?"
-
Hyp looked at Link. "Kill as many of these things as possible then get out of here?"
-
Link hummed something and facepalmed.
"Right. Ignore me." He said, looking up at the orb. "I wish we could use it the two at the same time. We'd attack a lot more enemies that way..." He trailed off for a few instants and fixed his look on Captain Falcon.
As if a light bulb had been lit over him, Link seemed to have awaken and opened his eyes widely.
"Hey, how about we use the Blue Falcon to get through them?" He suggested. "Although there's a problem... someone would have to go outside the ship."
-
"What's a 'Blue Falcon'?" Raptix asked from his position on Deimos's back.
"Don't know but if it can help us get through these things. I'm all for it." Deimos replied.
"Agreed." Ms. Swimmer added.
-------
Timmy, Tommy, Savannah, Alfonso and Tom were still slaughtering Primids of all varieties.
Tom cleaved a Metal Primid in two as Tommy and Timmy set upon a Sword Primid and pummeled it.
Suddenly a ROB robot with a subspace bomb appeared in the mass.
"What the hell is that thing?" Tom asked.
"Get out of here!" Alfonso shouted, "It's got a countdown timer."
Tom, Tommy, Timmy, Alfonso, Savannah all ran for the town gate only to see a horde of Primids closing in on them.
"Tom! Go! We'll hold them off." Timmy shouted.
"But you'll..." Tom protested.
"No buts! Go!" Savannah commanded.
Tom gulped and ran towards the town's gate. The rest of the group readied their weapons and started attacking the Primids.
As he passed through the gates he felt an odd swirling sensation before he blacked out.
(OOC - where shall I place Tom Nook? I'm considering having him deposited in a cave somewhere and the group will meet with him sometime later.)
-
"The Blue Falcon is a... how to say... craft, that Captain Falcon there ues in races, and he's got us out of a monster's way some time ago. Well, not me, another guy." Link tried explained. "It goes really fast, but since I'm not sure we'll have either enough space inside or be safe from all attacks, we'd rather take the same strategy from before: someone goes outside and keeps us safe from anything potentially dangerous." We'd btter be switching out, by the way."
((OOC: Well, we could get Will, Adrian and Falco to get near him with the ships. That is, if Starfall agrees.))
-
"Yeah. Blue Falcon would be able to take down a lot of the Primids, but that wouldn't do us much good if we all can't escape." Captain Falcon replied.
"Wait! I have an idea. Since Captain Falcon would blow a hole through their lines, we could probably rush through the hole before they can close it again. And we wouldn't have to fight that many Primids." Ike said with a grin.
-
"Hmm, sounds good." Link answered. "High five there, Ike!" He added, raising his hand.
-
"Hmm. Sounds good." Strut said.
"I'll carry Hyp and run through them." Nod said.
Deimos looked at Capt. Falcon. "Will all of us fit?"
-
"I can carry a few in Blue Falcon. Maybe two or three." Captain Falcon replied.
"As I said, we'll try to get through when their ring surrounding us is broken. We'll have a clear path, and we won't fight that many Primids. After that, though, I'm not sure what will happen. We'll have to begin running until we can find another portal." Ike added, returning Link's high-five.
-
"I'll stay outside and help clear a path." Deimos said.
"I'll stay with Deimos." Ms. Swimmer added.
"I'll stay with them both." Nod said. "Besides, my kind has extremely tough skin."
"I'll fight alongside Nod." Hyp said.
"I'll ride." Mutt said.
"I'll ride." Strut added.
-
"I can't do much more than deflecting a few hits. I'll help out with arrows and bombs." Link commented, taking the bow out.
-------
Will looked down and gasped.
"Adrian, Falco, there's someone down there." He communicated.
-
"Okay then. Lets DO THIS THING!" Ike exclaimed. He gestured towards Captain Falcon, who moved towards the Smash Ball.
Captain Falcon screamed, "FALCON PUUUUNCH!!!" and struck the Smash Ball with all his force. He began to glow with a iridescent aura.
"Okay. Everyone, out of the cave. Form a circle around me so that I can call on Blue Falcon." Captain Falcon said.
-
Mutt and Strut circled around Capt. Falcon. "What about the guys who are gonna help clear a path?"
-
"Blue Falcon will do that by itself. Just follow me before they close the gap I'll make. Okay?" Captain Falcon asked the group.
"We'll keep everyone else from reaching Captain Falcon until he gets Blue Falcon here. Whoever isn't riding with Falcon, defend him. If you're riding with him, stay within our circle. Remember; we're protecting Captain Falcon, then we're following the path he makes for us." Ike added so that the group could hear.
-
Ms. Swimmer, Hyp, Nod and Deimos readied their weapons and formed a wall protecting Capt. Falcon.
"They're coming!" Hyp shouted. He mounted Nod and grabbed his spear.
Deimos readied his club and assumed a fighting stance.
Ms. Swimmer readied her dual sticks. "Okay, we have to protect this guy until this 'Blue Falcon' comes. Once that comes, we run behind it as fast as possible"
"Got it!" Deimos replied.
-
Chomper woke up from his cave and spotted Zelda fighting some Primids.
-
"I'm ready, whenever you want." Lnik answered, joining Deimos and Ms. Swimmer.
He readied an arrow to which he attached a small bomb and aimed up, ready to shoot.
"Just give the signal." He added.
(OOC: Chomper4, I'm afraid we'll have to ignore your post since you still haven't posted a moveset.)
-
"Okay. MOVE!" Ike said and climbed out of the cave. Captain Falcon followed suit.
"Come on, Blue Falcon!" Captain Falcon exclaimed while trying to use the energy that infused his body when he broke the Smash Ball to summon Blue Falcon. Suddenly, a portal opened and Blue Falcon moved out of the portal. When Blue Falcon was through the portal, the portal closed. Captain Falcon quickly jumped into the cockpit.
"Whoever is riding with me, get in!" he said to the group.
-
Strut and Mutt climbed from the cave and leapt into the cockpit.
"Let's rock!" Deimos shouted. "Nod, Hyp, Ms. Swimmer once the 'Blue Falcon' starts picking up speed, run as fast as you can behind it. Do not stop unless there you are blocked by an enemy and even then, be as fast as you can in dealing with it. If you can ignore it and run by it, do that. If you must fight, be brutal and swift."
"When shall we start charging?" Ms. Swimmer asked.
-
"Go, go, go!" Link shouted, throwing the first bomb arrow against the Primid barrier. He then took more arrows from the quiver, allowing a constant rain to drop over the enemies.
Seeing tht it didn't produce much effect, Link decided to unsheathe the sword and the shield.
"I'm better with these!" He added.
-
"You heard Link! Charge!" Nod shouted.
He then galloped into the mass of Primids, tossing them aside with his momentum. Those who tried to tried to stop him by getting in the way were either trampled by Nod or speared by Hyp. A Primid leapt onto Nod's back but Hyp used his free hand to push it under Nod, where it was trampled.
Ms. Swimmer ran after Nod. She used her twin sticks and tail to batter any Primid in her way.
Deimos stood by Link. "Ready, when you are." Deimos said, holding his stone ax at the ready.
-
Link nodded and rose his sword up in his signature move.
"Let's do it." He announced, assuming an offensive position while targeting a Sword Primid with his eyes.
-
"Let's follow Ms. Swimmer and Nod." Deimos shouted. He then targeted a Fire Primid and assumed a fighting stance.
-
"Okay. Here we go. OUT OF THE WAY!" Captain Falcon exclaimed as he put the Blue Falcon to full throttle. The blue racer shot out into the Primid force, knocking back everything the ship hit. Soon, there was a straight line where there were no Primids.
"There's our opening. Let's get running!" Ike shouted, already starting to move through the gap before it closed.
-----
Valeron stopped walking for a moment. He had heard a commotion from a while ago, and out of curiosity, went to go see what it was. He was running towards the source of the noise when he saw a sea of grey.
"What are those things?" he asked himself. Suddenly, he saw a speck of blue in the midst of the grey figures, and blue speck began moving through the sea, leaving a parting of the grey figures. "What's happening?"
-
"Wow. This thing is powerful." Strut said as he was pushed back into his seat by the acceleration.
"There's the opening! Let's move!" Deimos shouted. He placed the stone ax across his back and ran as fast as he could, following Ike.
"Link! The opening!" Ms. Swimmer shouted. She too had her twin sticks across her back and ran after Deimos.
Nod galloped after Ms. Swimmer, a Fire Primid tried to hurl a fireball at Hyp but it could not throw the fireball before it was trampled by Nod.
-
"I'm coming, don't worry!" Link shouted, clearing the path on the sides while running towards the group.
Ultimately, Link jumped over the Primids before they closed the breach, switching march direction as if they were soldiers.
"They're coming, let's get out of he-..." Link trailed off as a robot descended fromthe sky, carrying a Subspace Bomb with him. "What the..."
-
"What's going on? Where did that thing come from?" Valeron exclaimed as he saw the Ancient Minister carrying a Subspace Bomb towards the ring of figures. He was about to run after the blue speck when Valeron saw a group of figures running through the gap the blue ship created.
-----
"Yeah, this ship's got some really great specs for racing. But we can talk about that later. We need to get away from that Subspace Bomb." Captain Falcon responded as he piloted the Blue Falcon away from the Primids.
Ike was staring at the Subspace Bomb. "Link, I'll take out the Subspace Bomb. Just keep me guarded when I come back down." Ike said as he prepared to toss his sword up.
-
"You bet, Ike!" Link replied, approaching the jump spot. He threw a glare at the robot's canon arm and immediatly shot an arrow, which was deflected by the robot's hard metal. "Careful with him! He's not like the first Minister! He can't attack you, much harder!"
----------
Will flew the Airwing over the fallen figure, landing it nearby.
"Adrian, I'm going on land inspection." He informed, activating the headset communicator and taking his Zapper out.
-
"Okay. Aether time!" Ike said as he threw his sword up right when the Ancient Minister was above them. Ike hit the Minister dead on. Ike then jumped up and grabbed the sword, and brought the Subspace Bomb down with him. The bomb's casing cracked, and a few arcs of electricity traversed the cracks.
"Yes! One Subspace Bomb down!" Ike exclaimed, then he began to run through the gap.
-
"Let's go!" Link added, running with Ike under heavy fire from the robot. "Try to avoid him! He's not going t-..."
Link trailed off as a group of R.O.B. Sentries circled both, with the robot approaching.
"Ike, we've got troube!"
-
Valeron watched as one of the escaping people attacked the floating robot, and saw that he wasn't going to get out of there without help. "I've got to do something," Valeron thought, "but what?"
Valeron changed his course towards the two trapped figures. "I hope I can get there in time."
-----
"Dang," Ike said as he was stopped by the R.O.B.'s. I can't tell what's worse; being trapped in a Subspace bomb, or being surrounded by these guys."
-
Link looked out to the horizon. The rest of the group had already gone past the breach.
"Hey! Get back! We need help!" He called, being caught by a R.O.B.'s arms. "Let go of me!"
--------
Will looked at the strange figure on the ground with his Zapper pointed with an accurate aim from the headset's visor.
"What is he...?" Will thought. The golden axe caught his attention. "That should be valuable... I wonder if the guys dead..."
Will bent and looked at the weapon very carefully.
"And it looks sharp..."
-
Valeron got to the mass of Primids and began to slice at them. They seemed to dissolve into balls of darkness and vanish when he sliced them in half. One tried to sneak up on Valeron, but he kicked the Primid into another one, causing both of them to vanish.
"This will take too long. I need to think of another way," Valeron said as an idea came to him. He quickly jumped up and landed on the nearest Primid's head. Before the Primid could react, Valeron began to run across the Primids towards the circle.
-----
"Link, I see some help, though I can't recognize who it is." Ike said as he avoided being grabbed by one of the R.O.B.'s. He tried to slice it in half, but the robot grabbed Ike's blade mid-blow.
-
"Ike!" Be careful!" Link shouted, struggling to fight free.
-----------
A silent creature entered a room and raised his hand, activating a few screens.
It was cloaked, and its red eyes shimmered in the darkness.
He smirked at what the screens showed: more and more areas being conquered to the Subspace... and one of them was near the desert...
"Good... eheheh..." The creature snickered.
Vaati... A voice whispered in the screens.
"You will not fool me again, Master Hand. Not this time!" The mage replied, executing a move with his hand and turning the screen off.
-
Tom gradually regained consciousness. "Ugh, where am I." He noticed two figures near him. He grabbed his Golden Ax and assumed a fighting stance, the dizziness replaced with adrenaline.
"Who are you!?" Tom demanded.
-----
Deimos heard Link's cries. "We left Link behind! We'll need to save him."
"Deimos! It's too dangerous!" Hyp shouted.
"Listen Hyp, during the War of the Beyond, Strut, you and myself led an assault on Cloud Island to rescue Ducky."
"I cannot allow someone to be left behind." Ms. Swimmer said.
"Fine. We need Link anyways." Hyp said, defeated.
"Hyp get on." Nod said.
Hyp then mounted Nod and grabbed a spear strapped to Nod's side.
"Link! We're coming!" Deimos shouted.
Nod then charged through the Primids, Deimos and Ms. SWimmer following.
-
"Hey, watch it! You can cut someone with that, you know?!" Will claimed, pointing the Zapper at the figure. "I'm Willhelm Cornellius, from the Lylat System Defensive Squadrons! I demand to know who you are immediatly!"
Will tried to apply his imposing tone of pilot.
-
Tom Nook lowered his ax but did not put it away. "Tom Nook, shopkeeper from the town of Iselia."
(OOC - Iselia is my town's name in Animal Crossing: City Life)
-
"Alright, Tom... What's a shpkeeper doing with an axe...?" Will asked, started to walk in circles around the shopkeeper.
Stop acting like a policeman, shoot! Echoed in his mind.
-
Valeron reached the circle and saw the two swordsmen. One of them, wearing a green cap and bearing a shield, had his arm grasped by one of the R.O.B.'s, while the other one, with blue hair, had his sword held by another R.O.B. Valeron jumped on top of the R.O.B. that was holding the blue-haired one's sword and drove the silver blade in his hand through the head of the R.O.B.
-----
The R.O.B. holding Ike's sword suddenly released the sword, and Ike quickly saw why. A being with a silver helm and armor on had driven a sword through the R.O.B.'s head.
"Thanks, but who are you?" Ike asked the figure.
"Hold that thought," Ike quickly added as he ran over to Link and rent the R.O.B. holding Link in two.
-
"Thank you, let's get out, whoever you are!" Link quickly claimed, cutting his way throw the Primids again. "We need to get to them before its too late! There's another bomb coming!"
Link pointed his sword to the horizon and revealed a large ship dropping a few spheres in the ground.
"And I bet they're not friendly!"
-
"I concur. By the way, I'm known as Valeron. Who are you?" Valeron asked the two.
"I go by Ike, and my friend here is Link." Ike responded.
"You know, there is a faster way out of here. Instead of cutting through these things, walk on top of them." Valeron noted, and proceeded to do just that.
"Hey, he's got a point." Ike said, and jumped onto a Primid and mimicked Valeron.
-----
"Oh, darn it. We're out of time." Captain Falcon said as Blue Falcon vanished.
"Well, we got far enough so that we won't get attacked by Primids." Captain Falcon added right before he saw the Subspace Bombs land relatively close to him.
-
"Well, that's mighty interesting." Link commented, looking at the two walking over the Primids. "Their hats do look useful for that..."
Link jumped over one and kept jumping, following the two other.
-
"Will, I was fighting off a mass of some wierd creatures that attacked my town and when a strange bomb appeared I ran to the town gates." Tom replied.
"Link!" Deimos shouted, "What's going on?!" He clubbed a nearby Primid.
-
"Don't -... Worry-... Everything's under-... control!" Link answered, jumping over the Primids towards the end of the horde. "You guys keep running! The subspace won't take long to reach us!"
-----
"You were fighting off weird creatures?" Will repeated, relieving the pressure over the trigger. "I find that rather hard to believe. Yet, I find no bad intentions over you..."
What should I do...?
-
"Turn back and keep running!" Deimos shouted back to his companions. "I'll come after you. Link if you are injured, I can allow you to use me as a mount."
Nod and Ms. Swimmer ran back through the breach.
Tom looked at Will. "I need to get reinforcements, get back to Iselia and help the Iselians kill all these creatures. That is if the town didn't get blown to pieces."
-
Will snarled slightly and let the trigger go, recomposing himself. "I don't trust you fully... But I cannot say I do not. You mentioned a bomb. What did it look like? What were these foes?"
---------
"Don't worry, my arm's just a little dorment. It'll pass." Link answered, falling on the ground while relieving the fall with his dormant arm.
This made him fall over it, since he couldn't handle the fall. Luckily, he fell over the Hylian Shield, tapping the arm in pain.
"Urgh, I can't feel it..." He complained.
-
"I hope that we'll be able to get to the others. Blue Falcon is definitely gone now, but they're probably quite a distance ahead of us." Ike said.
"I think I know who you're talking about. That thing that cleared a path for you, right?" Valeron asked.
-
"The bomb was carried by some kind of robot and these creatures were green or red with black faces and reddish eyes. Some kind of black mist was coming from their backs." Tom replied. His ax was still at his side.
----
Deimos helped Link to his feet. "Can you walk?"
-
Will mumbled something and put the gun away. He approached Tom with his hands up, stretching a hand for him to shake. "I'm sorry for having assaulted you. But I think I know what might have done that to your town."
--------
"Yes, its just my arm... I can't carry the shield..." Link accepted the help and got up, trying to keep the shield at hand. "But I can't lose it... We should get out of here... Come on, Ike and you too!" He shouted back.
A strike of pain made him lose the grasp of the shield, letting it fall on the sand.
-
Tom placed the ax inside his rucksack and shook hand with Will. "I'm not sure if there's a way to get back but I'll help out with this situation."
Deimos grabbed Link's shield and gave it to Hyp. "Hyp, tie that thing onto Nod's back."
Hyp complied and used a vine encircling Nod's body to secure the shield onto him. "We ready?" Nod asked.
Raptix looked out from his perch on Deimos. "Hey Link, we got to introduce ourselves but I'm Raptix."
(OOC - Raptix is part of Deimos's moveset.)
-
"Staying alive now, introductions later." Ike said, as he began to move from the Primids.
"I think we should hurry. These things will get us if we don't." Valeron said, starting to run.
-
"Let's go!" Deimos shouted, running after Ike. Nod and Hyp followed.
-
"Yeah, let's go!" Link added, keeping his arm near the chest to avoid moving it. "Still, glad to meet you, Raptix."
The horizon cleared and got slightly richer, filled with rocks and ruins. They shouldn't be far too get out of the desert.
-----
"We'd etter take you with us. Those fiends shouldn't be far." Will sggested, jumping aboard the Airwing. "Come on, let's go."
-
Tom grabbed his rucksack and leapt aboard the Arwing.
"Raptix, once we get out of here, we need you to treat Link's arm and any other injuries." Deimos said
"Okay." Raptix replied.
"I hope Link and his friends aren't too far off." Strut said. He then turned to Captain Falcon. "So what's your name?"
-
"Captain Falcon. Yours?" Captain Falcon responded.
Captain Falcon looked up, and to his surprise, he saw tiny specks on the horizon. "I wonder how far we travelled. If they have caught up to us, we didn't go as far as I had thought."
-
"The name's Strut. Please to meet you Captain Falcon." Strut said. "The dinosaur riding with me is Mutt." He then pointed to Mutt. "I think we should hold off introductions for now."
Strut then readied his spear.
-
"Oh... why now?!" Link muttered, getting the sword ready.
I can't use my bow... He thought, trying to keep his strenght focused on his right hand.
"We should be near the ruins of the desert... Marth once told me about this place..." Link told, pointing at a fortress castle in the horizon.
-------
"Ever flew before?" Will asked before activating the Airwing.
As it got off the ground, Will grabbed the single controller and accelerated, making the Airwing flew upwards into the clouds as the Subspace Bomb's effect spread closer and closer.
-
"Let's hope we don't have more fighting to do." Raptix muttered.
"Probably." Deimos replied. He then turned to Link. "Link, how far from our destination are we?"
------
"Hey Will, where are we heading?" Tom asked as Arwing took off.
-
Link panted and sat on a nearby rock while holding his hurt arm.
"If you're referring to the Smash Mansion, we're still far, we haven't still reached the forest... but to the forest, we just need to get across this battlefield..." He explained, pointing towards the catapults.
-------
Will slowed down and left the fighter to fly by itself above the clouds.
"I brought us up here to escape from the bomb's explosion..." He explained.
Suddenly, though, the radar gave signs of life.
"And it would seem we're not alone." He added, turning his look up as a complete armada rose in the distance.
-
"Shouldn't we find Falcon and the others, first?" Ike asked.
"Maybe we should send up a flare. I've got it! Link, why don't you give Ike your bow for a moment. Ike, I want you to attach a bomb to an arrow and launch that arrow upwards. Make sure the fuse to the bomb is short enough so that the bomb will explode while the arrow is in the air." Valeron said.
-
"Whatever you plan on doing..." Link replied, handing over the bow, the quiver and the bomb bag. "They're Remote Bombs, so they explode anytime you want." He added, sitting on the rock again.
-
"Okay. That makes it much better, since they are detonated remotely. Okay Ike, fire when ready." Valeron said.
"Gotcha!" Ike said as he sho the bomb arrow straight up. Ike waited until the arrow was at its highest point, and then detonated the bomb. THe explosion glowed brightly for a second, and then faded.
-----
"What was that? It looked like one of Link's bombs." Captain Falcon said as he saw the explosion in the sky. "I think we should head in that direction. That might have been Link."
-
"You should give it another shot towards the castle. That's probably where we're headed." Link told Ike while pointing at the fortress.
-
The explosion caught the attention of Mutt. "Hey! Is that someone we know?"
"Well, Captain Falcon says it was Link. We can only wait." Strut added.
-----
Deimos was keeping an eye for any possible enemies.
-
So, I'm bumping for the pure art of the bump, And because we shouldn't leave a Roleplay in the middle of the story, right?
-
(OOC: Has it really been this long since we were on this RP?)
"Gotcha, Link." Ike replied, and fired the arrow more towards the fortress.
-----
"There's another one. It looks like they are heading towards that fortress out in the distance." Captain Falcon told his group.
-
(OOC: It would seem so. Dunno why it stopped, though.)
Link retrieved the bow once the arrow had been shot and got up, trying to move the sword with the good arm.
"We shouldn't be here, right? They'll probably head to the fortress and we should too, opr they'll think the worst." He added.
------
"Hang on. This'll be a tough descent." Will commented, preparing the Airwing to drop down.
-
(OOC - I was wondering why it stopped. But it's great to have it started up again!)
Deimos nodded. "Staying here could open us to attack or cause the others to think that we are dead. That fortress will make a great meeting point."
-------------
Strut was fiddling with his spear. "I hope Link and the rest of the guys are still alive."
-
Link took a step forward, but this actually resulted in the crumbling of the sand layer, forcing him to fall into a hole hidden over time.
"I'm okay! I'm okay! No need to... ouch.... I'm not okay..." He commented, getting up.
It was, once more, a cave. But instead of seeming like a normal shelter, it looked more like a long tunnel path, illuminated by multiple torches over the way.
"I found something interesting!" Link called from the cave.
-
"Well, what do we have here?" Valeron said as he jumped down the hole into the tunnel.
"Seems like an underground pathway, but to where?" Ike asked.
-----
"Don't worry. They're probably on the way to that fortress. They're just signaling to us that that is their final destination." Captain Falcon replied reassuringly.
-
Deimos ran to where Link was located. "What is this?"
Hyp and Nod arrived soon after Deimos.
Ms. Swimmer arrived last. She looked at the cave. "I guess this is where we head?"
----------
"Thanks Captain." Strut said. "Perhaps we should get moving?"
-
"Right you are about that..." Link replied to Ms. Swimmer, taking the first steps into the tunnel. "And just in time for my arm to heal, I think I'll be able to use the sword again." He added, waving the sword like normally again.
He then took a closer look into the cave. The walls had a curious red tonality all around them. They reflected an eerie red glow that faded as the tunnel went further.
"Hey, I think we just went into a lava cave..." He commented, approaching a rift in the wall from which emanated a darkened smoke.
----------
Vaati turned to one of the largest screens and snickered with his signature laugh.
"Send troops to the fortress in the desert!" He shouted, raising his hand. "Don't let those miserable fools enter the fortress!"
-
"Hmm. This place seems vaguely familiar." Deimos said, keeping his club at the ready.
"No time for reminiscence." Ms. Swimmer said. She now had her twin sticks out.
The group then followed Link into the tunnel.
---------
Tom was looking at the armada in the distance. "So Will, anything we can do to avoid the space battle?"
-
"I don't think so, we'll have to get just into the middle of the battlefield." Will replied, searching for a mothership he could use to land. His distraction, though, cost him the tip of the right wing with a clean shot from an enemy ship.
The alarm started shot in frenzy, alerting the damage on the wing.
"Hold on, I've got to stabilize the ship! Look for a large white ship so we can land in!" He grabbed the control as hard as he could.
Passing near the cockpit of one of the ships, he could see strange creatures on the commands.
--------------
Some more distance crossed, they met a large pit... with lava flowing just on the bottom of a long fall into a canyon. There were few spires that allowed to cross to the other side, and one of the bridges didn't seem stable.
Link started to put the cap on his back, the heat from below hitting his face harshly.
"We'll have to jump across... I can carry one with me, but not more. I can also lend my Hookshot." He explained.
-
"I have no idea how to use a 'hookshot'." Deimos said. "I will attempt to jump across. I am a powerful jumper and I will put this talent to use."
"I'll come with you, Link." Hyp said.
"I will attempt the 'hookshot'." Ms. Swimmer said.
"What about me?" Nod asked.
"You'll have to try and jump across." Deimos said.
Nod then turned to Link. "Anything else I can try to get across?"
-------------
Tom obeyed and scanned for the aforementioned ship. He spotted it warping in the distance.
"Will! That ship you mentioned, it's past the battle!" Tom shouted.
-
"It's what?! I can't get there now! The wing is broken!" Will responded, trying to activate the complete set of engines.
The screen, though, only showed a large number of "Error", in a deep dark background.
"We won't get there... but I don't think it would be a good idea raiding one of these ships... they're full of Primids!" He added, spotting another cockpit full of those creatures. "Can you fight?!"
----------
Link took out the Hookshot and showed it to Ms. Swimmer.
"It's easy to use, and it will fit your size, don't worry. You just put your hand in here and...whaa!" The hook was shot, making contact with the softened rock wall and pulling Link with it.
Link fell with a loud thud, face first, in a crack from which smoke issued.
"Well, you got the point." He completed, being hit with a jet of of the smoke.
Getting up, he turned to Nod.
"I could borrow you the Roc Cape here." He pointed at the cape on his back. "It'll allow you to fly far enough to get to the other side if you don't carry any extra weight. But then I'd have to go with on someone else's back." He completed.
-
Tom nodded. "I've got an indestructible ax that can tear through most materials, and an indestructible shovel."
--------------------
Deimos thought a moment. "I may be able to carry you."
"I'll take the 'cape'." Nod said.
"Well, we should get ready to move." Hyp said.
Ms. Swimmer accepted the hookshot. "Okay, I am ready."
-
"Okay then, prepare to board in! We're going to fight and take control of one of those ships!" Will replied, performing a U-turn and entering one of the ships' tunnels.
A few cannons were attempting to block their way, but Will managed to shoot them out and land in a safe area, free of any Primids... for now.
He jumped out and took the Zapper out, running towards a nearby door.
"Let's do this, then." He added, decoding the door's lock and placing himself in front of the door with the gn pointed at the hall, ready to shoot.
--------
Link didn't hesitate much as for being carried: Deimos seemed strong enough to carry him to the other side.
"Alright, we're all set! Let's go!"
-
Ms. Swimmer nodded and aimed the hookshot at a patch of soft rock. She fired but her aim was slightly off and she struck the much harder rock. She reaimed and fired again, this time she hooked on and flew through the air. After a short but intense flight, she landed safely on the other side.
"Link, get on!" Deimos said.
Hyp ran over to the pillars and began jumping across them. He lost his balance for a moment and slipped off. He managed to save himself by grabbing hold of the pillar's ledge. He then pulled himself up onto the pillar. "I'm okay!" he panted. He continued jumping the across pillars.
"Ready to go." Nod said.
---------------------
Tom had his slingshot out and was crouched beside the door.
"I don't hear anything except the ship's engines." Tom said. He peered in through the door and saw what appeared to be a boarding area for troops but it was empty.
"I'd guess we'd better start exploring." Tom added.
----------------------
Ozzie was inside some mysterious metal chamber. He heard nothing save for a deep rumbling and the voice of his flyer.
"Where are we?" Ozzie asked.
"You tell me." the flyer replied, "You're the one who decided to go check out that weird thing in the Feeding Grounds. And what happens? We get stuck inside a mysterious cave!"
(OOC - I'm going to introduce Ozzie. He will be inside the ship but not in the same area as Tom and Will.)
-
(OOC: Sounds good for me.)
Will sighed. He was partially relieved, since he usually wanted for his missions to be as less violent as he could.
Nodding once, he took a ran across the door and into the boarding area. A screen above the door showed the battle outside, ensueing at a dangerous rate. Their ship, though, seemed safe.
"We must be in some kind of observation ship... that's why they don't fire outside, only inside...." Will noted, distractedly lowering the gun.
-------
"Nod, all you need to do now is concentrate on the cape. Focus on flying and it'll get you across." Link explained, getting on Deimos's back. "Just like a Kargarok." He added in a whisper. "I'm ready."
-
Deimos ran to the pillars and leapt from pillar to pillar, his powerful legs easily propelling him from one pillar to the next.
Hyp had already reached the other side.
Nod was concentrating as hard as possible, soon he was hovering in the air.
-
Link hold on to his hat.
"Eh, you do this really well! You used to do this or something?!" He commented, trying to hold tight.
-----------
"Hey Tom, check that out." Will called, pointing at a pair of R.O.B.s guarding an exit. They didn't react, remaining there, in standby.
-
Deimos nodded. "Yep. I did something like this during the now legendary Assault on Cloud Island during the War of the Beyond."
Nod was hovering through the air but his flight was jerky.
"Imagine you're Pterano!" Ms. Swimmer called.
---------------
Tom was examining a locked door when Will's voice got his attention. "Hmm. Do you think we can sneak by them? By the way I found a locked door that may lead to the engine room."
-
Link listened carefully.
"So, you were combatants... that's interesting. It might explain why you were all invited to participate." He replied.
Link's face then got slightly blank at Ms.Swimmer's comment.
"Who's Pterano?" He asked, curious. The ledge wasn't far.
------
"We might... but then we might trigger an alarm..."
The door seemed the best solution, despite being locked.
Will turned to the door and examined it up and down.
"Don't think a couple of shots would take it down... explosives might, though."
His thoughts drifted to the R.O.B.s.
"Explosives like theirs." He added with a confident look. A plan was starting to form.
-
Tom sighed. "I'm going to try and cut through the door."
-------
"Yep. Almost everyone of us here has fought in the War of the Beyond." Deimos said.
Nod had gotten better at flying and he was steadily hovering towards the other side.
"You're almost there, Nod!" Hyp shouted.
-
Will nodded.
"Got it.I'll step back and be alert in case something comes." He added, raising the Zapper up to his eyes' level.
-----------
"That's interesting..." Link replied. Just another one and it would be done...
-
Tom nodded and swung his ax into the door. The heavy armor plating of the door was no match for his golden ax.
After several minutes, he had cut a piece of metal from the door. Tom then swung the blunt side of the ax into the piece of metal, knocking it down and leaving a large gap.
Suddenly klaxons blared.
Tom immediately readied his ax.
--------------------------
Deimos leapt to the next pillar then onto the other side. "Link, we're here."
Nod had just touched down as well. "Can we not ever do that again?"
"You looked great flying!" Hyp said.
-
"We're in for trouble!" Will commented at the signs, watching over their exit as many R.O.B.s bolted from the entrance defended by two sentinels.
He instinctively started to shoot, trying to take back the robots.
"They're too many!"
------------
Link jumped down and straightened his hat.
"Well, wasn't that a bumpy ride." He commented, turning to Ms. Swimmer. "Hum, my Hookshot, please?"
-
Ms. Swimmer handed Link back his hookshot. "Thanks."
"Now where to?" Deimos asked.
-----------------
Tom threw his ax at one of the robots, splitting it in half. The ax rematerialized in his hand. "Through this door!"
He ran into the door that he cut open and switched to his slingshot. He aimed out and fired a large rock that pierced the armor on a ROB sentry. He got a laser blast back in response.
-
Link turned to the tunnel on that ledge. The walls were acquiring a more humanized look, made out of pilled stones and pillars. A curious glow could be seen at the end, probably one of the torches of the castle. If so, they were lucky.
"We should probably follow in..." He replied, taking a step forward.
However, this step caused the falling of some parts of the ground, leaving only a thin bridge to cross.
"So, hum, we still going...?" Link gulped.
----------------
Even though Will couldn't get a clean shot, he was using his Deflectors to, well, deflect many of the R.O.B.'s shots, allowing him to only protect while he kept going into the swarm of enemies.
"Tom, get outta there! We're outnumbered!" He called, throwing a Deflector to the fighting partner.
A R.O.B. tried to attack Will from behind, but he promptly let the Deflectors go and jumped, falling back with multiples kicks that ripped the robot's mechanical head.
-
Tom caught the deflector. He activated it briefly to turn away a missile shot at him.
And R.O.B tried to get him from behind but at quick blow with his ax decapitated the robot.
"We'll head down the door I cut open." Tom said.
----------
"Well, only once way to go, forward." Deimos said.
-
"Got it!" Will replied loud, jumping through a bunch of R.O.B.s' laser beams and landing with a roll.
As he landed, the robots were destroyed due to the reflected shots, allowing some free space to run into the new room.
"I'm in Tom! I'll give you a hand!" Will added, taking the Zapper out and shooting two R.O.B.s heading from the exit.
The situation was complicating.
-------------------
"Ok... easy does it..." Link gulped, proceeding, step by step, over the thin bridge. The walls kept getting more decorated, filled with many shields and carpets as the tunnel proceeded.
-
Tom activated the deflector several times, sending lasers and missiles flying back at their shooters as he ran down the hallway.
He then spotted what seemed like a prison block. "Hey, the holding cells! If we can get in there maybe we can find an ally or two!"
----------------
Deimos, Nod, Ms. Swimmer and Hyp carefully followed Link down the ornately decorated hallway.
-
Will made some efforts to take down a large column of steel, in an attempt to block the robots path.
"Sounds a good idea! I'll be there in a minute!" Will replied, not willing to give up on the column.
--------
(OOC: I'll call lbt/cty_lover in before going too forward on their part.)
-
Tom headed over to Will and handed him his ax. "Take this, it will rip through metal. Don't worry I've got other weapons." Tom then pulled out his golden shovel and used it to split open a surprised ROB that tried to attack Will.
-
OOC: Guys! Come on! You left me way behind! Can someone give me a de-briefing? I would prefer to know what has happened since I was... Ooh! Something in my inbox! Lets see... Okay, in response to that message, I'll say, I'm still in it. But I do need to know what has happened.
-
(OOC - well, Explorer's characters (Link) and my characters (Hyp, Deimos, Nod and Ms. Swimmer) entered deeper into that cave. Tom Nook and Will are onboard a Subspace ship and they are trying to take control of it. Capt. Falcon, Strut, Mutt are separated from everyone else and are near the Smash Citadel. Ike and Valeron are outside the cave. )
-
(OOC: Yup, He said it all.)
Will looked at the ax for a split second before nodding.
"I'll go right with you." He added, preparing to take a strike with the ax. The column was in sight... and...
With a powerful swing, Will sent the ax flying in swift rotations, hitting the column and forcing it to fall and block the robot's path.
"Here we go!" He added, catching the object again.
-
Ozzie heard noises from outside the cell. "Who's that?"
"Maybe it's a rescuer." his flyer said.
"Don't be an idiot! We're in a weird cave! They're more likely to kill us! Luckily for me," Ozzie then produced a blowgun made from a hollow reed.
"What the!?"
Ozzie grinned. "I had it strapped to my back this whole time. I've also got a pouch of rocks and various darts on me."
"Nice thinking!"
---------------------------
Tom then entered the prison block. The prison was illuminated with a harsh blue-white light that shone over dull metallic grey walls.
A ROB guard spotted him but was quickly felled by Tom who fired a rock from his slingshot piercing the robot's armor. Another shot and the robot toppled over, harmless.
-
Will rushed to meet up with Tom after making sure the column was literally glued to the wall using the Zapper's laser.
He stopped when he saw that the robot was already on the ground, though, and started walking slowly.
"So, find anything?" He asked, looking very closely to the cells, keeping the gun pointed forward.
Maybe I'm underestimating him a little.
---------------
"A false step and we fall..." Link commented, keeping balance.
However, another step forward caused the fall of a small part of the bridge, which kept crossable.
"I had to talk..." He added, passing over the missing part.
Ten more steps and he would reach the other side.
"Where are Ike and Valeron?" He asked back.
-
"I think Ike may still be at the entrance." Deimos said.
------------------------
"I haven't found anything." His eyes fell on a locked cabinet by the destroyed ROB. "Hey! I have. Will! Over there!" He pointed to the locked cabinet. "Maybe there's something useful in there"
(OOC - up to you to decide what that item is. I actually want the items in this ship to be in "realistic" areas <cabinets and such>. Actually, it )
-
"I guess everyone went on without us." Ike said to Valeron as the two swordsmen sat down by the cave's mouth.
"Seems to be the case. While we wait, why don't we practice swordsmanship a little bit." Valeron suggested.
-
(OOC: Hm... you can choose, but... I dunno, let it be a Ray Gun or something. Something appropriated to the environment. Being a space ship, futuristic stuff should be the most appropriate.)
"Maybe we should warn them. We're getting closer to the castle and they might lose track of us." Link added, stepping to the safe platform.
They were inside the castle dungeon now.
----------
Will looked at the cabinet and didn't hesitate in puling the Zapper out.
"Only one way to find out what's inside!" He commented, firing a bunch of shots that destroyed the cover.
-
Tom went over to the destroyed cabinet. He pulled a first aid kit and a super scope out of the ruined cabinet. "Looks like it was for the jailers." He handed the super scope to Will.
--------------
"Someone's outside." Ozzie said, upon hearing the laser shots.
----------------
"I'll warn them." Hyp said.
-
"A Super Scope, huh...?" Will accepted the weapon and put his own zapper away. "Fox told me about these. I heard they can charge..." He pressed the trigger and kept it pressed. "And when its fully charged, it can..." BANG! The trigger was released, sending a large energy ball flying towards the wall, wrecking it apart! "Oops."
