Chapter 15: The Stand Against Dark Zavok

Zazz threw a few rocks at Penguin Luigi. Penguin Luigi froze the rocks with a few ice balls and threw them back at Zazz.

Zazz- Why you! I'm gonna beat you like a drum when I get my hands on you!

Zazz began to charge for Penguin Luigi. But to Zazz's surprised, Penguin Luigi jumped on his belly and slide underneath Zazz to get out of the way.

Zazz- Wha…?! How did he do that?!

Penguin Luigi- If there's one thing penguins know how to do, it's slide.

Then Penguin Luigi got up close to Zazz and hit him with a perfectly timed Super Jump Punch and knocked Zazz a few feet away. There was a burning mark on Zazz's chest where Penguin Luigi punched him and Zazz was grabbing hold of it in pain.

Zazz- What the hell just happened?! I'm getting my ass handed to me by a loser in a penguin suit?! And what just hit me?!

Penguin Luigi- You shouldn't be underestimating me, because that can be your undoing. And my Super Jump Punch is different than Mario's. If I time it just right, it can deliver an extra surprise. But I have another surprise for you!

Then Penguin Luigi bent over and acted like he was charging something.

Zazz- Are you trying to shit your pants or something?

Penguin Luigi- Hell no!

Then Penguin Luigi dashed into Zazz with a Green Missile (Luigi's forward b move in smash) and knocked Zazz into a wall. Before Zazz could get up, he heard something above him.

Zazz- Huh…?

When Zazz looked up, he saw a bunch of rocks falling from the ceiling like an avalanche. The rocks pretty much burred Zazz and knocked him out.

Penguin Luigi- The penguin suit might not be as glorious as the red star, but I'm happy I got this in the rotation block.

Zomom punched the ground and made a shockwave at Donkey Kong. But Donkey Kong used his earth shaker to make a shockwave too and it plowed through Zomom's shockwave and knocked Zomom to the ground.

Zomom- I can't be made a monkey out of this monkey! I hate it when tenderizing my meals is more trouble than it's worth!

Zomom jumped into the air and tried to crush Donkey Kong beneath him. Too bad for him, Donkey Kong was strong enough hold Zomom's weight above his head.

Donkey Kong- You're slow to learn. Lifting someone of your weight is like lifting a balloon to me.

Then Donkey Kong threw Zomom into the air. Before Zomom hit the ground, Donkey Kong jumped into the air after Zomom and landed a 49x combo before the Donkey Kong landed the final Monkey Punch to knock Zomom back to the ground. Zomom was lying in a creator in the floor that was made when he hit the ground and he struggled to reach a giant sandwich lying next to him. Then Donkey Kong kicked the sandwich away from Zomom.

Donkey Kong- No wonder you're fat and out of shape. Eating junk like that.

Then Donkey Kong drops a bunch of bananas near Zomom.

Donkey Kong- Here. Try some of my bananas when you regain consciousness. They're healthier for you and taste great.

Zomom- (Groan)…

Master Zik was standing on a giant apple and looking down at Yoshi.

Master Zik- Let's see if you can handle this!

Master Zik tried to bowl Yoshi over, but Yoshi jumped out of the way. Then Yoshi managed to wrap his tongue around the giant apple and pull it towards him. Master Zik fall off and Yoshi had the giant apple in his mouth. Yoshi painfully swallowed the giant apple and laid a giant egg (like in Yoshi's New Island).

Yoshi- (Groan)…Yoshi always hate…laying huge egg…it hurt Yoshi's bottom…every time…

Master Zik used his stick to get himself back and had a look of pure shock on his face.

Master Zik- God damn it! That dinosaur really does have a bigger appetite than Zomom! I'd hate to see how much the pink one can eat too!

Yoshi threw the giant egg bomb at Zik, but Zik managed to jump over it.

Master Zik- You missed!

Then the giant egg bomb bounced off the wall, then the ceiling, and Master Zik turned around just in time to see the giant egg bomb crash into him from behind. Master Zik fell to the ground all covered in wounds and his stick was broken in two.

Master Zik- Beating…on an old man…are you proud…dumbass dino…

Yoshi- Zeti meanie almost strangle Yoshi. Yoshi not happy ether.

Zeena was blindly swinging her claws at Ty. But Ty was dodging them too easily. Zeena wasn't even trying to use a strategy. She was completely blinded by rage for Ty cutting her hair and making her bald.

Zeena- Hold still, you ****ing dingo! I'm gonna make a Tasmanian Tiger skin coat out of you once I get a hold of you!

Ty- Sheesh! All I did was give you a haircut, shela. I think you need to chill.

Ty pulls out his Frostyrangs and uses them to freeze Zeena. Then Ty punched Zeena in the nose. The ice around Zeena shattered, but Ty broke her nose and it was starting to bleed.

Zeena- You ****ing asshole! First you cut my beautiful hair and now you make my beautiful face bleed?! You have any idea how hard it is to remove blood stains from my makeup?!

Ty- Don't really care, shela. All I care about is getting Fang back from you ****ers.

Zeena charged for Ty, but Ty jumped over her. Before Zeena knew it, she crashed her head into the wall. Zeena fell to the ground and passed out.

Ty- Just like how I beat Bowser when I first met the Mario Brothers. Give into your rage and you'll lose control to where or what you run into.

Zor and those shadowy clones of himself began bouncing all over the room like pinballs and Eggman was struggling to both dodge them and aim for the real Zor. Eventually, Zor knocked into Eggman from behind and knocked him to the ground.

Zor- What's wrong, doc? No mechs today?

Eggman- I'm not stupid. I remember how you Zeti can control machines. My laser is plenty.

Zor- But what's the point if you can't hit the real me?

Zor began bouncing around the room with those shadowy clones again. Just when it seemed Zor was about to attack again, a familiar sound was ringing in Zor's head.

Zor- AAAAAAHH! My head! Make it stop!

All the shadowy clones of Zor faded and Zor fell to the ground holding his head.

Eggman- What just happened?

Palutena (telepathically to Eggman)- Remember that Conch you used to try and control the Deadly Six? I've played the sound that it makes through Zor's head. I'd suggest you take this opportunity, now!

Eggman aimed his laser gun and fired it at Zor before he could get back up. Luckily, Zor was knocked out with that blast.

Eggman- Good thinking using the Conch's music to weaken Zor. How about doing it on Zavok too?

Viridi (telepathically to Eggman)- We tried. But Tabuu is preventing the Conch's music from affecting him. Besides…Palutena and I are almost tapped out…

Palutena (telepathically to Eggman)- We've used up so much of our energy shifting our focus from one place to another while at the same time trying to help you fight the Deadly Six, help the rest of our friend fight Tabuu's followers, and slowdown that machine from draining our worlds. I'm afraid we need to focus more on Pit and the others for the rest of this fight.

Sonic tried a homing shot at Zavok, but he swatted Sonic away. Fire Mario shot a few fireballs, but Zavok knocked them all away with his tail. Then Zavok noticed a growing shadow looming above him. Zavok jumped out of the way before Bowser landed right on top of him (Bowser's down b move in Smash).

Fire Mario- This isn't working! We need to try something new if we want to make any head weight.

Sonic- I think I have an idea…

Then Sonic charged his spin dash and rushed straight for Zavok.

Zavok- A full frontal assault? You think that will work on me?

Zavok was about to swat Sonic again, but at the last minute, Sonic began spinning sideways. He was still moving forward, but the spinning form was more horizontal now. Sonic slipped passed Zavok's defense and knocked both of Zavok's legs. This knocked Zavok into the air. Then Bowser jumped up, grabbed Zavok, and body slammed Zavok back to the ground (Bowser's forward b move in midair in Smash).

Fire Mario- Good thinking there, Sonic!

Sonic rubbed his finger against his nose.

Sonic- Can't take all the credit. I sort of got the idea after watching Luigi use that penguin suit to slide underneath Zazz.

Zavok- Damn you, hedgehog!

Zavok struggled to get up, but then parts of him began to freeze. Zavok barely managed to look behind him he saw Penguin Luigi freezing him with ice balls. Zavok was breaking free from the ice, but Yoshi knocked into him with an eggroll attack. Zavok tried to regain his balance, but he was suddenly struck with Ty's Zapperangs. Before the shock wore off, Donkey Kong grabbed hold of Zavok and headbutted him. The headbutt almost made a crack in Zavok's skull as he stumbled backwards.

Zavok- What a…thick head…

Before Zavok even knew it, a laser blasted him to the wall.

Eggman- HOHOHOHO! Direct hit!

Before Zavok could pull himself together, he saw Bowser standing right in front of him.

Bowser- And this…is for kidnapping Jr! You bastard!

Bowser punched Zavok in the face and knocked him into the air. As Zavok's vision was regaining its focus, he saw Fire Mario and Sonic about to do a jump attack before knocking him back to the ground.

Fire Mario- Finally! We beat them!

Sonic- Yeah! Now let's get Tails and the other kids out of those things, shut that machine down, and get the hell out of here!

Tails was happy to see Sonic and the others won, but he then got a worried look on his face.

Tails- Sonic, Zavok's getting back up!

Fire Mario, Penguin Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Ty, Bowser, and Eggman turned around and saw Zavok back on his feet. However, he was looking like he was hurt pretty bad.

Zavok- I can see why Tabuu finds you all so…troublesome…but this fight…is far from over.

Sonic- Might as well be. The other Zeti have been defeated, you're the only one left standing, and you're in no shape to continue fighting us. I bet even egghead can knock you out without his weapon in the state you're in.

Fire Mario- Just give up and we'll let you and your gang go without facing any punishment.

Zavok- That's what you think, fools! I still have one last trick up my sleeve. Or should I say…in my palm!

Then Tabuu's mark on Zavok's palm began to glow. A black aura surrounded Zavok's body and all of his wounds began to heal.

Zavok- Ah. Much better. I had hoped I wouldn't need to use the sample of Tabuu's power he lent me, but you're all becoming more trouble than you're ****ing worth! Now let's see what happens when I go all the way!

Tabuu's mark began glowing brighter as Zavok absorbed more of Tabuu's power. The black aura around his body was glowing brighter, his eyes began to glow red, and his body changed from red to black.

Dark Zavok- I should've used this sooner! Tabuu is more powerful than I could've even imagine! Just a small fraction of his power did this to me!

Bowser threw his fist at Dark Zavok, but blocked it with just one finger.

Dark Zavok- Really? Is that all you got?

Then Dark Zavok used his other hand to pick Bowser up, balance him on one finger while spinning Bowser at the same time, and throw Bowser like a softball into the wall. Bowser made a large dent when he hit the wall and fell to the ground.

Dark Zavok- And to think, you and I were perfectly equal in strength before. Now you're more like an ant fighting a lion.

Bowser spat out some blood and managed to get back up.

Bowser- **** you…

Dark Zavok- So…who else wants some?

(Back over in the Mushroom Kingdom)

Princess Peach and Starlow were still trying to use the power of hopes and wishes to slow down the world draining process as much as they could. However, Starlow was starting to tire herself out completely.

Starlow- It's too much…

Starlow fell to the ground from exhaustion.

Princess Peach- Starlow! Are you alright?

Starlow- I don't know, princess. This whole thing seems hopeless. As much as we try to slow this machine down, it drains our world's energy faster by the minute.

Princess Peach- Starlow, don't say things like that!

Suddenly, Princess Peach heard the door behind her creek open. When she turned around, she saw a mysterious figure covering most of his body and face in a black cloak.

Princess Peach- Who is that?

Starlow- Let's hope…he's not one of…Tabuu's followers…

The mysterious figure walked up to Starlow and began to reach for her.

Princess Peach- What are you doing?! Don't you dare hurt her!

But all the mysterious figure did was gently tap Starlow with one finger and all of Starlow's energy returned to her.

Starlow- What the?! I feel as good as new! What did you do?

Mysterious figure- You mustn't lose hope no matter how bad things might get. An old friend of mine said that to me many years ago…and he proved he was right…

They mysterious figure began walking towards the door, but before he could leave, Princess Peach called out to him.

Princess Peach- Wait…

The mysterious figure stopped and turned his hooded head at Peach.

Princess Peach- Just…who are you…?

Mysterous figure- Trust me…I am no one…

The mysterious figure exited the room and closed the door behind him. Princess Peach and Starlow were a bit confused at first, but then they returned their focus on slowing down the energy draining.

Starlow- That's odd.

Princess Peach- What?

Starlow- It's as if the machine Tabuu and the Deadly Six are using to drain our worlds has lost power. It's moving so much slower for some reason. And…whatever was in the air draining our friends' energy as they fight has stopped.

Princess Peach- Mario!

(In one part of Toad Town)

Lord Fredric swung those two ice swords at Phosphora and she was barely able to dodge. Diddy Kong used his dash flip to get on Fredrick's back and pounded on his weak spot. Diddy Kong's fist began to hurt and he fell off Fredrick's back.

Lord Fredrick- Funny…that didn't hurt as much as it did before in this fight.

Diddy Kong was struggling to keep himself standing and he was starting to feel light headed.

Dixie Kong- Diddy, are you hurt?

Diddy Kong- No, it's not that. I feel…exhausted…

Lord Fredrick- Finally! It seems you're all reaching you limit. I must commend you. You all lasted much longer than ether me or Master Tabuu predicted you would. For that, I will try and make this as painless as I can.

Dixie Kong, Lanky Kong, Chunky Kong, and Phosphora tried to rush to Diddy Kong's aid, but they were starting to feel exhausted as well, hindering them from even getting up.

Lord Fredrick- Try as you all like, for in the end…you will lose!

Just as Fredrick was about to strike Diddy Kong with one of those ice swords, a banana juice potion was flung out of nowhere and at Diddy Kong. Diddy Kong drank the banana juice potion and a magic barrier surrounded Diddy Kong. The ice sword shattered when it hit the magic barrier.

Lord Fredrick- What?! NO! How is this possible?!

Chunky Kong managed to get himself back up, but he noticed that there was a looming shadow above him. When Chunky looked up, a strange barrel with a picture of his face on it landed on top of Chunky. Then the barrel shattered to pieces as Chunky Kong grew to twice his size.

Hunky Chunky Kong- Wow! I'm Hunky Chunky again! And I feel like my energy is back too!

Lord Fredrick- What the ****?! How did that Kong get so big?!

Then Hunky Chunky kicked Lord Fredrick and he smashed him through a building. As Lord Fredrick struggled to crawl out of the wreckage of that building he was knocked through, a burst of lightning from Phosphora struck him. Fredrick was being knocked back by that lightning attack as if Phosphora was getting her energy back. Then Diddy Kong found his barrel rocket pack fixed and good as new right next to him.

Diddy Kong- But I thought Fredrick…never mind! I think I know how to use it to finish this fight.

When the lightning stopped, Fredrick tried to pull himself together. Then Dixie Kong and Lanky Kong began pelting him with orange grenades. This provided the cover Diddy Kong needed. He charged his barrel rocket pack to full power, but he unstrapped it from himself before it launched. The next thing Lord Fredrick knew, Diddy's barrel rocket pack flew into him and exploded right in his face. When the smoke faded, Lord Fredrick was lying on the ground and too exhausted to continue fighting.

Lord Fredrick- Impossible…how could I…Lord Fredrick…king of the Snowmads…lose to you Kong's…again…

Then a black vortex appeared underneath Fredrick and pulled him back to Subspace.

Ultra Sword Kirby fired a sword beam as Zero. The sword beam hit Zero in his eye and made his flinch a bit. Zero shot a few energy balls, but Ultra Sword Kirby swatted them with his super-sized sword.

Meowth- You seem to be doing just fine without us, Kirby! Taking on that big scary monster by yourself!

Jessie- Yeah! So we'll just stay here and cheer you on!

James- And hide behind this piece of debris in case anyone tries to jump you from behind!

Ultra Sword Kirby (in a sarcastic tone)- Gee, I sure am lucky to have such three brave souls backing me up in this difficult fight!

Fighter Marx threw a few focus jabs at Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe. Luckily, they dodged.

Knuckle Joe- Seeing you ripping off my moves is just rubbish!

Fighter Marx- Then let's turn up the heat!

Fighter Marx charged is energy and shot an energy ball. Knuckle Joe did the same and the two energy balls were both trying to push the other back when they collided. Little did Fighter Marx notices was Meta Knight suddenly vanished. Suddenly, Meta Knight appeared behind Fighter Marx before throwing his cape over Fighter Marx's head.

Meta Knight- Know my power!

Suddenly, it went completely dark for a split second and Fighter Marx was struck by Meta Knight's sword and knocked into the air. Fighter Marx's energy ball also faded and the energy ball Knuckle Joe shot hit Fighter Marx. Fighter Marx fell to the ground and changed back to regular Marx.

Knuckle Joe- You'll need something stronger if you want to beat us!

Marx- Agreed…I do…

Zero fired another energy beam from his eye at Ultra Sword Kirby. Ultra Sword Kirby dodged it and jumped up to Zero.

Ultra Sword Kirby- This is for what you did to Robobot!

Then Ultra Sword Kirby swung his sword and struck Zero's eye. Zero screamed in pain and almost crashed to the ground. Now Zero's eye really was bleeding with that huge cut on his eye. But as soon as Ultra Sword Kirby landed, Marx's tongue wrapped around Ultra Sword Kirby's sword and yanked it away from him. Marx put the giant sword in his mouth and was beginning to transform.

Marx- Mmmm…oh yeah, baby! This is the power I'm talking about!

Then Marx transformed into Ultra Sword Marx.

Ultra Sword Marx- I've never tried one of the Super Abilities before, but I can tell already this will be fun!

Ultra Sword Kirby- Hey! Give that back!

Unfortunately for Ultra Sword Kirby, Zero fired another energy beam from his eye while he was distracted. When the blast hit, Ultra Sword Kirby changed back to normal Kirby and Kirby was struggling to get back up.

Jessie- Kirby, are you hurt?

Kirby- No…it's more than that…my energy…I'm too weak…I'm at my limit…

Kirby continued to struggle to get back up.

Kirby- But a hero…never quits…I have to keep trying…

Kirby looked up and saw in reflection in what was left of Zero's big red eye. He knew Zero was about to launch another attack at him and he braced himself. But then something happened that Kirby was not expecting.

James- Carnivine, bullet seed! And Amoonguss, hidden power!

Jessie- Yanmega, ancient power! And Seviper, poison tail!

Meowth- And try my fury swipes!

Then Team Rocket's Poke'mon attacked Zero and knocked him away from Kirby. Although Zero tried not to show it, he was in serious pain from that large cut in his eye. But he shifted his gaze from Kirby to Team Rocket.

Kirby- They're helping me…? Guess I owe them…an apology later…if only…I could get back up…I know I can still fight…

Then out of nowhere, a max tomato and a hypernova fruit appeared in front of Kirby.

Kirby- Where did those come from? I guess it doesn't matter now, does it?

Meowth tried fury swipe on Zero again, but Zero slapped Meowth with his wing.

Jessie- Mimikyu, shadow ball!

James- Mareanie, sludge bomb!

The two Poke'mon launched their attacks, but Zero shot an energy beam from his eye and blasted right through it and blasted Team Rocket to the ground. Zero was about to attack again, but he was suddenly being pulled backwards by something. Zero looked behind himself and saw Hypernova Kirby sucking him in. Zero tried to get out of Hypernova Kirby's suction, but it was too strong. Hypernova Kirby inhaled Zero and turned to face where Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe were facing Ultra Sword Marx. Ultra Sword Marx swung his sword and knocked Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe to the ground.

Ultra Sword Marx- Sorry, but I'm gonna have to cut this short. Can't keep Master Tabuu waiting.

Ultra Sword Marx was about to attack again, but Zero was suddenly rammed into him from behind and knocking them both into a wall.

Ultra Sword Marx- Zero?! What the hell?! Where did you come from and could you get off of me?!

Then Marx saw Hypernova Kirby standing in front of him and Zero.

James- What the hell is that, Kirby?

Hypernova Kirby- Another of my special abilities. This one is called Hypernova. And it strengthens my inhale power.

Then Hypernova Kirby inhaled Ultra Sword Marx and Zero like a tornado or a black hole. Hypernova Kirby looked up at the sky and shot the two out of his mouth like a cannon. But a laser beam was also shot out of Hypernova Kirby's mouth. Once the laser blast flew high enough, it exploded and Marx and Zero's defeated faces appeared in the sky in the form of firework explosions. Then Marx and Zero crash landed back to the ground before a black vortex sucked them back into Subspace.

Vaati shot an energy beam from his eye at Link and the others. Link, Aryll, Sheik, Impa, and Magnus dodged. Link shot a sword beam at Vaati, but Vaati turned into a swarm of bats and avoided it. The bats swarmed together back into Vaati's monster form, but then Sheik appeared above Vaati and tried to stomp on him. Vaati grabbed her with his bat claw before she could land her attack.

Vaati- Nice get up there, Zelda. Don't think I don't know it's you under that mask. After all, I once stole your soul and turned your body to stone.

Impa quickly struck Vaati's monster claw with her giant knife and forced him to let go of Sheik. But then Vaati created a twister and launched Sheik and Impa into the air. Sheik and Impa crash landed a bit away from Vaati. Vaait created a swarm of yellow bats and sent them towards Magnus. Magnus swung his sword at them, but the bats were electrified. So when Magnus' sword hit them, he got electrocuted.

Vaati- This is fun and all, but you fools are not who I want.

Vaati looked behind him and saw Link and Aryll.

Vaati- Link, I've waited so far to long to get my revenge on you. You will soon feel the wrath of Vaati the Wind Mage!

Link- To bad you won't get it. You're so obsessed with it, you're willing to subjugate yourself to a swine like Tabuu. And you lust for revenge will be your undoing, Vaati.

Vaati made a few small black orbs with eyes. The orbs shot a laser from their eyes and Link pulled out his mirror shield to reflect those lasers right back. Vaati tried to grab Link with his bat claw, but Link dodged it and stuck his claw with his Master Sword. Vaati pulled back his claw and filled the area with literal darkness.

Vaati- Let's see how well you do in the dark, Link!

Before Vaati could gloat some more, all that darkness was instantly expelled. Vaati saw Aryll draining away all the darkness.

Vaati- Master Tabuu was telling me the truth. Hylia's magic was place inside that young girl. That is interesting.

Link struck Vaati from behind with his Triforce Cut and almost cut Vaati in half.

Link- You touch my sister and you'll wish Tabuu never put your head back on!

Vaati- So you really care about your sister…don't you…

Then Vaati changed his bat claw into a blade-like arm and tried to pierce Aryll with it. Aryll quickly made a barrier to protect herself. But the barrier began to crack when Vaati struck it. Vaati hit Aryll's barrier three times before it shattered to pieces. Vaati attacked with his blade-like arm again, but instead of stabbing Aryll, Link jumped in front and got impaled.

Aryll- BIG BROTHER!

Aryll rushed to try and tend to Link's wound.

Vaati- You said my desire to get revenge would be my undoing. Well your desire to protect your sister has proven to be yours. Now, let's remove that head like you did with mine!

Vaait swung his blade-like arm again, but a bright light suddenly engulfed Link. When it faded, a magic red armor (from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess) appeared on Link and it stopped Vaati's attack.

Impa- Your gra…I mean…Sheik, what is that?

Sheik- I don't believe it! That's a Hylian Magic Armor!

Magnus- Damn! You Hylians always seem to get all the best magic stuff.

Sheik- But where did that Magic Armor Link's now wearing even come from?

Link stood up and Aryll noticed something else.

Aryll- Big brother, your wound…

Link looked at his chest and saw it was gone.

Link- Wait, my wound instantly healed?! How did that…

Then Link saw a fairy flying just above him.

Link- A Hylian fairy? What's one of those doing in the Mushroom Kingdom? Doesn't matter. I'll ask questions after I've beaten you again, Vaati!

Vaati shot a laser beam from his eye, but Link cut right through it and pierced Vaati's eye with the Master Sword. While Vaati was trying to regain his vision, he noticed the symbol of the Triforce was glowing in the ground and he was placed in the middle of it.

Aryll- Time to take away more of your darkness!

Then a bright light was shined on Vaati and Vaati was reverted back to his humanoid sorcerer form.

Vaati- No! What have you done?!

Then Magnus swung his sword and knocked Vaati into wall. Vaati tried to crawl out of the hole in the wall Magnus made recently, but Sheik pierced his left shoulder with several senbon needles. Vaati's left arm fell slump and he had trouble moving it. Before Vaati could react in any way, Link charged his Master Sword to do the Triforce Cut and impaled Vaati with the Master Sword. The force from the Triforce Cut blew Vaati to the wall and left him in a pool of his own blood. As Vaati struggled to get back up, a black vortex appeared underneath him and began pulling him back into Subspace.

Vaati (in a choking tone)- No…Master Tabuu…(cough)…you can't do this…(wheeze)…I can still fight…

Eventually, Vaati was pulled back into Subspace weather he liked it or not.

The Pirate Master in his giant form fired his cannon at Shantae, Dark Lord Gaol, and King DeDeDe. Luckily, they managed to dodge.

King DeDeDe- We really need to do something about that cannon on that bonehead's shoulder!

Dark Lord Gaol- And how are we supposed to do that? He's way to big to get in close and he'll send any projectile we throw at him back at us!

Shantae- Maybe if you two can keep the Pirate Master busy, I can sneak up on him and get rid of that cannon.

King DeDeDe- I'm not really happy about being bait!

Dark Lord Gaol- You got any better ideas?

King DeDeDe- (Groans)…fine, but be quick about it, genie girl.

DeDeDe pulls out a mechanical mask and puts in over his face and his mallet changed into an electrical charged hammer.

The Pirate Master- You think putting on some mask will make any difference?

Masked DeDeDe- This is more than just a mask. This is actually lets me control my customized electrical hammer which lets increases my offense and defense!

Masked DeDeDe pounds his hammer to the ground and an electrical shockwave that traveled through the ground and it actually shocked the Pirate Master.

Dark Lord Gaol- How did…

Masked DeDeDe- His parlor trick stops projectiles. Mine was an electrical shockwave that traveled in the ground instead of the air.

The Pirate Master- Hmm…I see there's a flaw in my new trick. I'll have to be more careful with those.

Masked DeDeDe tried the electrical shockwave again, but the Pirate Master jumped over it. Dark Lord Gaol shot some energy balls at the Pirate Master while he was in the air, but he stopped those attack and put them in his cannon. The Pirate Master shot them back out of his cannon, but because the Pirate Master was in his giant form, the energy blasts he shot back were now much bigger than before. Masked DeDeDe spun his hammer and knocked the energy blasts away.

Masked DeDeDe- See, my hammer can do more than…

Before Masked DeDeDe could finish that sentence, the Pirate Master nearly landed on Gaol and Masked DeDeDe. The force of the landing knocked the two to the ground. Meanwhile, Harpy Shantae flew up behind the Pirate Master. She changed into Elephant Shantae once she was directly above the Pirate Master's cannon. But the Pirate Master teleported before Elephant Shantae could crash into the cannon. Elephant Shantae changed back to her normal form.

Shantae- What the…

The Pirate Master reappeared behind Shantae and smacked her to the ground. Shantae tried to get up, but the Pirate Master stepped on her right leg before she could.

Shantae- AAAAAAAAA!

The Pirate Master- Hey, sorry about that. Looks like I accidently crushed your leg.

The Pirate Master took his foot off of Shantae's leg as she continued to lay there in pain.

The Pirate Master- And now I'll accidently crush your heart!

The Pirate Master was about to slam his giant fist into Shantae in an attempt to crush her. Suddenly, a fire spell, similar to Din's Fire, hit the Pirate Master in the face and made his stumbled backwards. Before the Pirate Master could recover, a bolt of lightning struck the cannon on his shoulder and shattered it to pieces.

Shantae- What the? What just happened.

Then Shantae found a revival elixir lying next to her on the ground. Shantae drank it to heal her broken leg instantly. Shantae managed to get up and she saw Dark Lord Gaol and Masked DeDeDe heading towards her.

Dark Lord Gaol- Are you ok, Shantae?

Masked DeDeDe- And huba huba! Where did you get that outfit? (Whistles)

Shantae- What are you talking…

Then Shantae noticed that the magic genie armor (from Shantae: Risky's Revenge Director's Cut) was now on her.

Shantae- Huh? This is supposed to be a genie's magical armor. They're supposed to give the genie that wears it unlimited magic, but I don't remember putting this on.

Masked DeDeDe- Well I like it!

Dark Lord Gaol- Pervert…

Masked DeDeDe- Hey, his cannon is gone!

Dark Lord Gaol- You're right. Now our projectiles can work on him!

Dark Lord Gaol fired several energy balls at the Pirate Master. He tried to stopped them again, but with no cannon to put them in, the energy balls bombarded him and knocked him backwards.

Shantae- Alright Pirate Master, time to show you the full might of my genie magic!

Shantae began using the magic armor to boost her magic spells.

Shantae- Simmer!

Shantae show a huge stream of fire at the Pirate Master and knocked the Pirate Master backwards.

Shantae- Electric storm!

Shantae's electric attack hit the Pirate Master and stunned him.

Shantae- Avalanche!

Then a bunch of giant stone boulders fell from the sky and pelted the Pirate Master and made him kneel. Then Shantae made her hair grow in size as it wrapped around the Pirate Master in his giant form and began slamming him around like a rag doll. Then Shantae pulled the Pirate Master in and performed a jump kick right in his face, knocking him into a wall. When the smoke cleared, the Pirate Master returned to normal sized and was lying on the ground in pain. Before Shantae could do anything more, a black vortex appeared underneath the Pirate Master and pulled him back to Subspace.

Sly, Shazza, and Boss Cass were knocked to the ground by the Quinking. Sly and Shazza even fell out of their Bunyip machines. Before they could get back in, the Quinking jumped on Sly's Launcher Bunyip and Shazza's Battle Bunyip MK2 and crushed them.

Quinking- Not so tough without your Bunyips, are you?

Sly- Shit! This is not good!

Shazza- If only Ty were here!

Boss Cass- If only this stupid laser would work like it did the last time we faced the Quinking!

The Quinking began moving closer until a rocket was launched at his face. Dennis was at a high ledge trying to shoot the Quinking with his bazooka.

Quinking- That frog is an even bigger fool than you are, slave Cass. Those rockets he's firing can't hurt me one little bit.

Dennis quickly tried to quickly reload his bazooka from his high vantage point in an attempt to try and save Sly and Shazza.

Dennis- Oh dear! Oh dear! I have to do something or Ty will never forgive me if I let his brother and wife meet their doom!

Dennis reached behind him for another rocket, but someone quickly pulled away the rocket Dennis was reaching for and replaced it with another type of rocket. Dennis eventually grabbed the strange type of rocket that was placed there and loaded it into his bazooka. When he fired it at the Quinking, an electric pulse that shattered the Quinking's barrier.

Dennis- Huh? That wasn't one of my rockets.

Quinking- What's happening?! I can't move!

Sly- You see that?

Shazza- Yeah. It looked like that barrier he used to block Boss Cass' laser blaster was destroyed.

Boss Cass- Then my blaster will work this time! It took the Quinking down last time, and it should do it again this time!

Boss Cass fired his laser blaster at the Quinking, and this time the Quinking couldn't block it. After the explosion and the smoke faded, the Quinking was lying on the ground covered in wounds before a black vortex pulled him back to Subspace.

(In another part of Toad Town)

Super Shadow and Super Silver continued their fight against Black Doom while the rest of Sonic's friends and Cragalanche were holding off the Black Arms. However, Super Shadow and Super Silver were starting to feel tired.

Super Silver- Damn! Our attacks keep getting weaker! Are we low on rings?

Super Shadow- No, it's that damn machine. It's already drained most of our energy already.

Super Silver- And Black Doom is still standing!

Black Doom- I don't really need to do this to crush the two of you…but after all that Shadow has done to me, it's worth going all the way…

Then Black Doom suddenly transformed into a giant black winged monster with one big yellow eye.

Super Silver- Shadow, what the hell is that thing?!

Super Shadow- Black Doom's true form.

Devil Doom- I'm going to enjoy making you suffer, Shadow! Burn!

Devil Doom spat out a stream of fire, but Super Silver managed to create a barrier to block it.

Super Silver- Shadow, any tips on how to fight Black Doom while he's in this form? I can't hold these flames off forever!

Super Shadow- That eye is his weak spot. I hope I still have enough strength for this.

Super Shadow fired a Chaos Spear, but Devil Doom easily brushed it away.

Devil Doom- Looks like you're too weak to keep fighting me. So let me put you out of your misery.

Then another set of wings appeared on Devil Doom…a set of rainbow colored wings.

Super Shadow- No! Not that attack!

Devil Doom unleashed a huge burst of energy from those rainbow-colored wings the caused a mushroom cloud explosion when it hit Super Shadow and Super Silver. When the smoke cleared, Super Shadow and Super Silver were flickering between their super forms and their regular forms, indicating they were low on rings.

Super Silver- We can't change back yet! If we do, Palutena and Viridi won't be able to be able to give us that energy we're using as a substitute for the real Chaos Emeralds!

Super Shadow- If we run out of rings, it won't matter…

Devil Doom- Both still alive after being struck with Tabuu's strongest attack? Not bad. But let's see if you can survive another shot.

Devil Doom was about to make those rainbow-colored wings appear again, but a bolt of lightning suddenly struck his eye.

Devil Doom- AAAH! My eye!

Super Silver- That wasn't me…

Super Shadow- Me neither…

Suddenly, two ring capsules fell from the sky and popped when they hit Super Shadow and Super Silver, giving them 500 rings each.

Super Shadow- Rings? Where did they come from?

Super Silver- Who cares? We can maintain our super forms and it seems like our energy is also restored!

Super Shadow- You're right. It's as if the energy draining machine never touched us at all.

Devil Doom pulled himself together and rubbed his eyes a bit.

Devil Doom- What the hell just happened?! Who the hell even attacked me?!

Super Shadow- Chaos Spear!

Devil Doom got hit in his eye again by the Chaos Spear and it made him cringe backwards.

Devil Doom- What the?! How did Shadow get his strength back?! That machine should've drained them to exhaustion by now!

Devil Doom created a bunch of meteor-like orbs around his body and a laser beam came out of them as he fired them at Super Shadow. Super Shadow was dodging those laser blast, but little did Devil Doom notices was Super Silver using his psychic abilities to take control of those meteor-like orbs and have them shoot at Devil Doom. The lasers struck Devil Doom and surrounded him in smoke.

Devil Doom- How dare you use my own attack against me! Now, where are you two?

Suddenly, Super Shadow used his Chaos Control to teleport right in front of Devil Doom and grabbed hold of his eye.

Super Shadow- Chaos…BLAST!

Then Devil Doom was caught in a massive explosion and knocked to the ground. Devil Doom changed back into his normal form and laid on the ground. Super Shadow and Super Silver also changed back to their normal forms and almost dropped to the ground.

Silver- Cost us all of our rings, but it was worth it!

Shadow- Agreed.

Then Black Doom managed to grab that same laser gun Silver shot his with earlier and was about to aim for Shadow and Silver while their backs were turned. Before he could fire, Cragalanche appeared and smacked him into a building.

Silver- What the…

Shadow- It appears Black Doom wasn't finished yet.

Silver- I guess we owe you thanks, big guy.

Cragalanche- …

As a black vortex was sucking Black Doom back to Subspace, Black Doom turned to look at Shadow.

Black Doom- This isn't over, Shadow! Mark my words, the Black Arms will rise again!

(In another part of Toad Town)

Ash's Torterra, Leavanny, and Gliscor were knocked to the ground and Ash had to return them to their poke'balls.

Ash- Shit! Now I only have Pikachu, Mega Charizard, Ash-Greninja, and Lycanroc left!

Sawyer- She's also brought Alain and me down to just his Mega Charizard and my Mega Sceptile!

Alain- I would respect such a worthy opponent if it weren't for her reputation or the fact she's working for Tabuu.

Ash- We might've gotten her to use all of her max revives, but with most of our Poke'mon knocked out and the few we have left getting tired, I almost wonder how we're gonna get out of this mess.

Rotom'dex- Ash, you're not suggesting we give up?!

Ash- Of course not. I just wish the circumstances were a little better.

Sawyer- We still have your Z-Ring to use your Z-Move.

Ash- But I only have one shot left. I'm gonna have to use it wisely. However, I'll bet she's expecting Pikachu's 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt or Lycanroc's Continental Crush.

Then Ash felt something flick him in the back of his head.

Ash- Hey! What the…

Ash turned around and saw a blue Z-Crystal lying on the ground. Ash picked it up.

Ash- Isn't this Lana's Waterium Z-Crystal?

Then Ash looked at Ash-Greninja and got an idea.

Ash- Alain, Sawyer, I have a plan, but I need to lure J's Poke'mon in a little closer.

Alain- Say no more. Charizard, dragon claw!

Sawyer- And Sceptile, use frenzy plant!

Alain's Mega Charizard X- (ROAR)

Mega Sceptile- Sceptile!

Poke'mon Hunter J- Drapion, cross poison! And Ariados, night shade!

Drapion used cross poison to block Mega Charizard X's dragon claw and Ariados used night shade to destroy Mega Sceptile's frenzy plant before it could touch it.

Poke'mon Hunter J- Now Salamence, dragon rush!

Mega Salamence- (ROAR)

Mega Salamence charged into Mega Charizard X and knocked it into Mega Sceptile, knocking them both to the ground.

Poke'mon Hunter J- I'm starting to grow wiry of this pointless struggle. Move in and finish them all off, now!

Mega Salamence, Drapion, and Ariados were moving in closer towards Alain's Mega Charizard X and Sawyer's Mega Sceptile.

Pikachu- Pika…CHUUUUU!

Pikachu struck with thunderbolt, but it did not hit any of J's Poke'mon. In fact, Pikachu kept using thunderbolt on the land around J's Poke'mon. What that was doing was creating a cloud of smoke around her Poke'mon.

Poke'mon Hunter J- So this must be your plan. Use the smoke as cover to try and surprise me with you Z-Move. Now which one will it be? Pikachu's 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt, Lycanroc's Continental Crush, or are you going to try the Breakneck Blitz?

Ash- Greninja, water type Z-Move! Hydro Vortex!

Poke'mon Hunter J- That can't be right. Tabuu said nothing about a water Z-Crystal.

Ash-Greninja- Gren…NINJAAAAA!

Then a giant water tornado emerged from the smoke and instantly swept Mega Salamence, Drapion, and Ariados into its suction.

Poke'mon Hunter J- This is impossible! Tabuu told me the only Z-Crystals you have are normal, grass, rock, and electric!

Ash- Pikachu, finish this off with thunderbolt with everything you've got!

Pikachu- Pika…CHUUUUUU!

Then Pikachu shot a thunderbolt while Poke'mon Hunter J's Poke'mon were still trapped in that Hydro Vortex. The Hydro Vortex increased the power of Pikachu's thunderbolt and it gave Pikachu's attack the boost it needed to knock out all three of Poke'mon Hunter J's Poke'mon. Mega Salamence changed back into its regular form and Poke'mon Hunter J returned her Poke'mon to their poke'balls.

Poke'mon Hunter J- You were lucky this time. But for now, I need to have a talk with Tabuu about why he didn't tell me about that water type Z-Crystal.

Then a black vortex appeared underneath Poke'mon Hunter J and sucked her back into Subspace.

Ash- Finally! We beat her!

Rotom'dex- Uh…Ash…aren't Serena, Clemont, and Tierno still taking on Fawful?

Fawful knocked down Clemont's Luxray, Serena's Braixen, and Tierno's Blastoise. Then Fawful had those mechanical arms grab the three Poke'mon Trainers by their necks.

Fawful- Hehehehe! Silly trainers no match for Fawful's tricks! Now Fawful squeeze you all like funny squeaky toys until heads pop! I have fury!

Serena, Clemont, and Tierno were beginning to choke as the mechanical arms began to strangle them. Then Lycanroc jumped on Fawful's back and bit off those mechanical arms from the pack on Fawful's back.

Fawful- Hey! Get off Fawful!

Fawful managed to get Lycanroc off, but then he saw Ash helping Serena, Clemont, and Tierno back up.

Ash- Are you guys ok?

Fawful- Huh…? Where Poke'mon hunter? Trainer boy beat her already?

Alain- Blast burn!

Sawyer- Frenzy plant!

Fawful turned around just as Mega Charizard X and Mega Sceptile's attacks knocked him to the ground and destroyed most of his hidden weapons under his robe. Then a black vortex appeared underneath Fawful and sucked him back to Subspace.

(In front of Peach's castle)

Pit, Dark Pit, Dawn, and Dawn's Piplup were knocked into the side of the castle. But when Pit dropped from the side of the castle, he found himself lying on top of Dawn.

Dawn- What, no flowers?

Pit put his palm over his face and lightly shook his head.

Hades- Do you and the female Poke'mon Trainer need a room, Pitty Pat?

Pit- Shut up, Hades!

Pit and Dawn got back up and so did Dark Pit and Piplup.

Hades- You really think you can keep fighting like this? You couldn't handle me even using your sacred treasures.

Pit- I still destroyed you last time.

Pyrrhon- Let's just destroy him already! I'm getting tired of hearing Pit talk.

Hades- Agreed.

Pyrrhon shot a stream of fire, but Dawn had her Piplup put out the fire with hydro pump. Dark Pit shot Pyrrhon with his Dark Pit Staff. Then Pyrrhon felt weakened again.

Pyrrhon- ****! You put poison in your Dark Pit Staff again!

Hades- Pitiful, Pyrrhon. It makes me wonder why Tabuu even revived you. Probably because you were the first Kid Icarus villain the author could come up with before deciding to include the Lord of the Underworld. Now…let a real god show you how it's done.

Then Hades' eyes began to glow as a large amount of energy was building up around him.

Hades- Last time, Medusa stopped me from showing you this attack. But nothing will stop me this time!

Then a large orange energy beam was shot from Hades' eyes.

Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- Power of reflect!

A reflection barrier appeared in front of Pit, Dark Pit, and Dawn, but Hades' attack smashed through it and made a mushroom cloud explosion. Pit and Dark Pit got themselves back up.

Dark Pit- I thought you said they weren't using Tabuu's power…

Hades- It appears I don't need Tabuu's help to break through pretty Palutena's protection spells. Now let's try it again!

Hades fired his attack again, but he didn't aim for Pit or Dark Pit. Dawn and Piplup were still crawling out of some rubble and Dawn's leg was stuck underneath a bunch of bricks.

Dawn- I can get my leg free, Piplup!

Piplup- Pip Piplup?

Then Piplup saw Hades' attack coming straight for them.

Piplup- PIPLUP!

Then Dawn turned to see the attack heading for her. Dawn quickly rushed to try and get her leg free. But then Pit rushed in and pushed Dawn and Piplup out of the way.

Dawn- PIT!

Pit was blasted into the bridge of the castle moat and his body was covered in wounds. Dawn, Piplup, and Dark Pit rushed to Pit to see of he was ok. Dawn got on her knees so she could wrap her arms around Pit.

Dawn- Pit, are you ok?!

Pit- (Groan)…Yeah…I'm fine…

Hades- Don't tell me you survived that, Pitty Pat. I guess you've toughened up since that last battle against me if you're still alive after being hit by my deadliest attack. But you know what? I think I have enough in me for one more round! Unless you want to see if you can survive another trip inside.

Pit- I think…I'd rather be obliterated…

Hades- Your choice.

Then Hades fired his attack again, but Dawn's Piplup jumped in the way.

Dawn- Piplup, what are you doing?!

Dark Pit- Wait. Why is that Poke'mon glowing white.

Then Piplup just absorbed all of that attack. Piplup was really hurt, but a really bright aura was glowing around him.

Pyrrhon- What's going on?

Hades- It appears that penguin Poke'mon is using bide. Meaning it's now about to deliver twice the damage it just took from my attack. ****! We are so bone…

Piplup- Pip…LUUUUUP!

Then Piplup shot out a burst of that bright light and blasted Hades and Pyrrhon in a mushroom cloud explosion. Piplup fell to the ground also injured as much as Pit was. Then Dark Pit found a strange crystal on the ground.

Dark Pit- What's this?

Dawn- That's a max revive! We can use that to help Piplup!

Dark Pit fed Piplup the max revive and Piplup was back on his feet.

Piplup- Pip Piplup!

Mysterious voice (telepathically to Pit)- Power of healing…

Pit- What the…that didn't sound like Lady Palutena or Viridi…but…it did sound familiar for some reason…

Then a glowing light shined on Pit's body for a split second and all of his wounds healed. Pit jumped out of Dawns arms and back on his feet.

Pit- Whooo! I'm back in the GAME!

That's when they saw a black vortex appear underneath Pyrrhon and Hades as it pulls them back to Subspace.

Pit- Lady Palutena, thanks for using the power of healing on me.

Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- I didn't cast the power of healing?

Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- Neither did I.

Pit- Then…who healed me…?

(Back on the Lost Hex)

Bowser was getting himself up after Dark Zavok threw him.

Dark Zavok- The all mighty Koopa King beaten to the ground so easily…and to think I'm just getting warmed up with this new power.

Ty- Now I'm wondering if not bringing me Shadow Bunyip or at least the Bunyip Beacon was a good idea or not, Sonic!

Dark Zavok- Actually, if you did bring your fancy machine to this fight, I would've taken control of it. It's the reason why the fat one obviously didn't bring any of his mechs with him. But it wouldn't really have mattered if I couldn't. I'm strong enough to tear it apart! Observe.

Then Dark Zavok punched the ground and the ground began to shake like crazy until the ground cracked wide open. Almost causing Mario and the others to fall down the large fissure.

Donkey Kong- And I thought I was strong enough to make the earth move!

Sonic- I guess it's time to go Super Sonic!

Sonic pulled out the Chaos Emeralds and transformed into Super Sonic.

Dark Zavok- Ah yes, your super transformation. To think you defeated me without transforming into a god last time. But after hearing Tabuu's stories about the original Super Mario Brothers' Team, I wonder if it really was coincidence that you joined the new Super Mario Brothers' Team lead by the descendent of the hero who led the previous team.

Super Sonic- What are you saying?

Dark Zavok- I'm sure you remember Dimentio telling you about the former god who made the Chaos Emeralds that was part of the original Super Mario Brothers' Team? Tabuu told me that former god was a hedgehog with ridicules speed and an annoying wiseass personality…just like you. But it's the same with all the members of Mario's little team. A gray Tasmanian Tiger who was a genius thief, but a really bad smoking addiction, or a giant Kong from Kongo Jungle. The twin brother of Mario's direct ancestor. Shale I go on?

Penguin Luigi- I think you should stop trying to stall us like Nazo tried to do and we do this already!

Dark Zavok- Your funerals…

Penguin Luigi shot a few ice balls at Dark Zavok, but he shot one huge fireball from his palm and it destroyed all of Penguin Luigi's ice balls. The fireball almost hits Penguin Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi as it continued to pass through. They got out of the way, but Dark Zavok appeared in front of Yoshi punched him to the ground. Donkey Kong swung his Monkey Punch, but Dark Zavok countered with a punch of his own. Dark Zavok's punch knocked away DK's Monkey Punch and left him vulnerable to another punch from Dark Zavok's other claw. Donkey Kong crashed into a wall, made a huge dent in it, and hit jaw broke a little bit. Then Dark Zavok charged for Penguin Luigi. Penguin Luigi tried sliding underneath Dark Zavok, but he was quickly grabbed by his tail after sliding underneath Dark Zavok.

Dark Zavok- I already fallen for a trick like that once already today. You'll have to do much better than that I'm afraid.

Dark Zavok threw Penguin Luigi to the same wall Donkey Kong crash into and he changed back to regular Luigi on impact. Luigi got back up and saw Donkey Kong standing next to him, straightening his jaw back into place.

Luigi- I can't believe how much stronger he's gotten!

Donkey Kong- Well, it is Tabuu's power we're dealing with!

Luigi- I know, and it really ****ing sucks!

A laser was shot at Dark Zavok from behind, but it did nothing to hurt him. Dark Zavok turned around and saw Eggman pointing his laser gun at him.

Dark Zavok- Doctor, as much as I want to crush that meddlesome hedgehog, making you suffer for what you did to me and the other Zeti is the next best thing.

Eggman- I might've had to leave my machines behind so you wouldn't take control of them, but I still have my genius to guide me through this fight!

Dark Zavok- You mean the same genius that created those two retarded robots you always have following you around? Don't make me laugh.

Eggman- I'll be the one laughing in a moment after you knocked on your ass!

Dark Zavok- What the…

Dark Zavok looked behind him and saw Super Sonic spinning Bowser (Super Mario 64 style) and eventually throwing him at Dark Zavok. Bowser used the boost from Super Sonic throwing him to strengthen the force of his punch as he slammed his claw into Dark Zavok's face. Dark Zavok was knocked a few steps back and part of his face was bleeding. Bowser's claw began to glow bright red and swelled a bit.

Bowser- That…really hurt…but it was worth it…

Dark Zavok wiped the blood from his face and glared at Mario and the rest.

Dark Zavok- So that's how you want to play it…

Suddenly, Dark Zavok produced a set of rainbow-colored wings on his back and began to levitate into the air a bit.

Fire Mario- Oh ****!

Dark Zavok- Good! You know what's coming then.

Dark Zavok began charging Tabuu's power into his body.

Super Sonic- I can't let Zavok use that attack!

Super Sonic charged for his light speed dash and charged for Dark Zavok. However, Dark Zavok caught Super Sonic, like a baseball in his claw.

Dark Zavok- Funny, because you seem to be moving slower than I remember! I guess Tabuu's power lets me keep up with you much better.

Dark Zavok threw Super Sonic at Fire Mario and Ty, knocked them all to the ground. Fire Mario changed back to regular Mario, but Super Sonic remained in this super form. Then Dark Zavok unleashed a burst of energy from his body using those rainbow-colored wings and it blasted Mario and the others under a mushroom cloud explosion.

Tails- SONIC!

Tails watched in horror from the capsule he was still trapped inside. The smoke cleared and Luigi, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong were knocked into the wall behind Dark Zavok. Meanwhile, Mario, Super Sonic, Ty, Bowser, and Eggman were lying on the ground close to in front of Dark Zavok. Super Sonic and Mario managed to rise to their knees as Dark Zavok slowly moved towards them.

Dark Zavok- Both still have the will to fight? It's pointless to continue. As Zor would say, why bother?

Super Sonic- Maybe so…but I'm too stubborn to admit when I'm beat…

Dark Zavok- It's that fighting spirit of yours which make me both respect and despise you, Sonic. Which is way you will have the honor of being finished off by me personally.

Mario- Funny…I remember that attack doing much more damage…I think it's clear…you're still not as powerful as the real Tabuu.

Dark Zavok- What do you know, plumber?

Mario- How about the fact that I actually fought Tabuu…more than once. In fact, you wouldn't be getting the upper hand on us without resorting to using Tabuu's power.

Dark Zavok- You're lucky Tabuu wants me to deliver you to him alive or I would've had to teach you a lesson of pain.

Tails began pounding on the glass of his capsule, but it was doing him not good.

Tails- I have to do something! I can't just sit in this stasis pod and let Zavok knock Sonic and the others around! Sonic…

Then Tails turned his attention towards the capsule Fang was placed in on the other side of the room. But Fang being in that capsule was not why Tails turned to look there. Tails saw someone wearing a black cloak over most of his body standing behind Fang's stasis pod.

Tails- What's going on here? Who is that?

Mysterious figure- I know that 12:17 a.m. is passed most of your bed times, but I think it's time for you all to wake up, kids.

Then the mysterious figure snapped his fingers and the loud sound of an alarm clock began to ring.

Dark Zavok- Huh…? Where is that infernal ringing coming from?

Just then, Fang began to wake up and saw Ty lying on the ground near his capsule.

Fang- Daa…Daah…

Ty- Huh…

Ty turn to look at the capsule Fang was.

Fang- Da..daah…

Ty- That's right, Fang…

Then Ty found the strength to get himself back up.

Ty- Your daddy's here to get you out of this mess.

Bowser Jr.- Papa! Papa!

Bowser- Jr…?

Bowser looked at the capsule Bowser Jr. was in.

Bowser Jr.- Papa, I knew you would come for me!

Bowser- Of course, Jr. You matter more to me than conquering the Mushroom Kingdom.

Then Bowser got the strength to get up. Soon, other kids like Charmy, Cream, Tiff, Tuff, Bonnie, and so many more began to wake up and were cheering Mario and the others. Tails looked towards Fang's capsule again, but the mysterious figure had vanished as quickly as he came.

Dark Zavok- What is all this nonsense?!

Super Sonic- You still don't understand what true strength is. It doesn't come from how physically strong you are, or special abilities you have, or what godly power you absorb.

Dark Zavok- Oh really. Then where does it come from?

Mario- It comes from the hope that those who believe in us give us. That's why Tabuu loses every time he tried to attack us and why he lost against my ancestor's team!

Dark Zavok- What a bunch of meaningless trash! Let's see how much your precious hope is worth after I've crushed you all!

Dark Zavok threw his fist at Mario and Super Sonic, but they punched back and knocked Dark Zavok a few steps backwards.

Dark Zavok- How is this possible?! There's no way they could increase their strength this much in mid fight!

Dark Zavok created another fireball, but Yoshi's tongue wrapped around it and pulled it away before Dark Zavok could launch it. Yoshi pulled the fireball into his mouth and spat it right back at Dark Zavok. The flames were causing Dark Zavok to move back, but then Luigi hit him from behind with his green missile. Dark Zavok was almost knocked to the ground, but Donkey Kong and Bowser both punched him in the chest with an uppercut and knocked Dark Zavok into the air. Dark Zavok also felt the bones in his ribs beginning to crack as well. Then Ty threw his Zapperangs at Dark Zavok, electrocuting him before he hit the ground. Dark Zavok struggled to get up as he saw Mario and Super Sonic kick his face like a soccer ball and knocked him into a wall.

Dark Zavok- NO! I will not be defeated by the likes of you again!

Then Dark Zavok made those rainbow-colored wings appear on Dark Zavok's back again.

Dark Zavok- Let's see if you can survive another blast of Tabuu's strongest attack again!

Dark Zavok shot a burst of energy from his body, but a laser beam was fired at it and holding it back.

Mario and Super Sonic turned around and saw Eggman firing his laser gun, but the laser was now much stronger than before.

Super Sonic- Eggman? How is that little laser gun holding back a godly attack that strong?!

Eggman- Simple, I…

Then Eggman looks to his left and sees Ty glaring at him.

Eggman- …fine…Ty upgraded the laser gun while Zavok was ranting before showing of Tabuu's wings. But I don't know how long this will last!

Super Sonic- Mario, you remember Nazo told us there was a flaw in Tabuu's special move?

Mario- Yeah, Tabuu leaves himself vulnerable for another attack.

Super Sonic- And Zavok has left himself wide open!

Super Sonic begun charging his spin dash until he had a glowing blue aura around his body.

Super Sonic- Ready! Let's do this Mario!

Mario grabbed hold of Super Sonic.

Super Sonic- GOOOOO!

Super Sonic charged for Dark Zavok with his light speed dash. Before Dark Zavok knew it, Mario and Super Sonic punched him in the face at the speed of light and created a massive explosion on impact. When the smoke cleared, Dark Zavok changed back to normal Zavok, he fell to the ground, and Tabuu's mark on Zavok's palm shattered to pieces. Zavok was covered in wounds and one of his horns looked cracked. Mario and Sonic were also lying on the ground from total exhaustion. Luigi and Donkey Kong went to help Mario and Sonic back up while Ty and Eggman went to the controls to the machine.

Eggman- Let's hope we're in time to shut this thing down before all of our worlds are destroyed.

Ty- I think we would've known by now if we're too late, mate.

Then Ty and Eggman hacked the machine and programed it to return the stolen energy. Then Ty noticed Eggman's left arm not moving correctly.

Ty- Did you break your arm, mate?

Eggman- I took more damage from Zavok when he used Tabuu's attack.

Bowser- Hey, where are the Zeti anyway?

Mario and the others looked and saw Zavok and the rest of the Deadly Six were gone.

(In an escape pod floating high in the sky)

The Deadly Six were all crammed in there and not looking in the best of shape. Zeena cupped her face with her hands and began to cry uncontrollably, most-likely due to the fact she was now bald.

Master Zik- It appears we've lost again…

Zavok- Yes…but let's hope we can learn from this defeat for the next battle.

Zavok looked out the one window in the escape pod and looked down at the Lost Hex below.

(Back at the Deadly Six's former hideout)

Ty as hugging Fang as tears went down his face.

Ty- Oh Fang! I'm so happy your safe and sound! I'll bet mommy will be even happier than I am right now to see you again!

Bowser had Bowser Jr. sitting on his shoulder as Bowser Jr. hugged the side of Bowser's head.

Bowser Jr.- Papa! I knew you'd save me!

Bowser- Of course I would, Jr. They didn't hurt you?

Bowser Jr.- I'm fine, papa.

Bowser- Tough, just like your old man.

Mario and the others were opening the capsules and letting out all the children that the Deadly Six kidnapped. Luigi and Donkey Kong just let Tiff out of her capsule.

Tiff- Thank you. But where's Kirby and the rest of your team?

Luigi- They had to stay behind to deal with Tabuu's of this plot.

Donkey Kong- Now let's get you brother out next.

Tails jumped onto Sonic and gave him a hug.

Tails- Sonic! You don't know how happy I am to see you!

Sonic- Right back at you, Tails!

Eggman (in a sarcastic tone)- Goodie for you…

Eggman was sitting in a corner with his left arm in a sling while Orbot and Cubot stood next to him.

Bowser- Hey, if you're still upset about that broken arm, I'm sure Kamik would be able to mend it.

Eggman- Who are you and what did you do to the real Bowser?

Bowser- After getting Jr. back, I'm in a very good mood today.

Mario approached Sonic with Cream, Cheese, Charmy, and Froggy behind him.

Mario- I believe I found the rest of your missing friends, Sonic.

Sonic- Yeah, that's all of them. The others will be happy to know they're safe.

Then Bowser walked up to Mario and Sonic while still having Bowser Jr. on his shoulder.

Bowser- Mario…you don't know how hard it is for me to say this, but…thank you…

Mario- Wow! That's a huge honor coming from you, Bowser!

Cream- That's sweet of you Mr. Bowser. Thanking Mr. Mario for helping you.

Bowser- Well, don't get used to it. Next time me and the heroes meet, we go back to being enemies.

Mario- Wouldn't have it any other way.

Then Donkey Kong and Yoshi approached Mario and Sonic.

Yoshi- Mario…we got problem…

Mario- What?

Donkey Kong- How are we gonna get all of these kids out of here?

Mario- …Uhhh…Palutena…Viridi…I know you're both pretty exhausted from everything that's happened today…but do you think you can do us one last favor today?

Viridi (telepathically to Mario)- (Annoyed groan) Fine…

Palutena (telepathically to Mario)- Sure, Mario. We can do that much for you after everything you did today.

(The next day at Smash City)

Ty and Tails were working on repairing Robobot in Ty's lab. Kirby rushed in after Ty and Tails stepped away from Robobot.

Ty- I don't know if I made him exactly the way he was before, but he should be back on his feet.

Kirby- Robobot…how's your arm?

Robobot looked at its new arm for a moment, moved it a little, and gave Kirby a thumbs up.

Kirby- That's good to know! You really scared me, Robobot!

Kirby hugged Robobot and Robobot hugged him back.

Kirby- But enough of this. Let's save the rest of our hugs for Tiff and Tuff.

Kirby and Robobot left the lab.

Ty- We should probably go and join the others outside too. I'm sure you'll want to see Sonic.

Tails- True, like how you'll want to see Shazza and Fang.

(In another part of Smash City)

On the first floor of the main hallway of Smash City, all of the children were being reunited with their families. Clemont wrapped his arms around Bonnie.

Clemont- Bonnie! Finally, I can stop worrying!

Bonnie- Clemont, I missed you so much!

Charmy flew up to Espio and Vector.

Charmy- Hey guys!

Espio- Good to see you're well.

Vector- Now we got Team Chaotix back together!

Big picked up Froggy and held him to his face.

Big- Yippee! I got my little buddy back!

Ash was looking at the crowd as all the parents were reunited with all their missing kids. Eventually, Lana and her two sisters walked up to him.

Lana- Ash, can you thank Mario and Luigi for me for rescuing Sarah and Harper?

Ash- Sure thing, Lana. That reminds me.

Ash pulls out the Waterium Z he used earlier.

Ash- I haven't returned your Waterium Z-Crystal.

Lana- Huh? What are you talking about? My Waterium Z is still in my Z-Ring. See.

Ash- But then…where did this come from? Or better yet, who flicked it at the back of my head while I was fighting Poke'mon Hunter J?

Then Shantae walked in through the crowd.

Shantae- Another question is how did my mother's genie armor get placed on my when I remember it being locked in Uncle Mimic's safe back in Scuttle Town.

Kirby walked in through the crowd.

Kirby- Now that you mention it, I'm curious how a hypernova fruit appeared when I really needed it.

Then Princess Peach walked in through the crowd.

Princess Peach- I guess…there is someone looking out for you all. But is it really what you should be talking about? You just saved our worlds from Tabuu yet again and rescued all the children. I'd say you've earned a period of relief.

Ash- I suppose you're right.

Shorty after all the children were reunited with their families, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby, Ash, Sonic, Ty, Pit, and Shantae stood in front of the cheering crowd, thanking the Super Mario Brothers Team for defeated Tabuu's plan once again.

The End

Epilogue-

(Subspace)

Tabuu sat on his throne and was watching Zavok and the Deadly Six being defeated by Mario and the others on a flat screen TV. Tabuu turned off the TV and turned to look at this man who was standing next to him. The man was wearing a black robe and looked like he had a strange machine on his head.

Tabuu- Grodus…how are the others recovery coming along?

Sir Grodus- Most of them, like Vaati and Black Doom are in very bad shape. But some of them, like Hades and Lord Fredrick will be back on their feet by tomorrow.

Tabuu- Good…leave me…I wish to be alone…

Sir Grodus left the room and left Tabuu alone in the room.

Tabuu- I doubt Zavok and the Deadly Six will want to work with me again after this fine mess. But what went wrong. I know that I made every part perfect. I gave those fools everything they needed. I taught them new tricks, upgraded their weapons, and even showed them how to exploit all of Mario's weaknesses. What went wrong…?
