(Part III: The Final Battle)
Mario, still holding his hammer, took off for the grey hedgehog who he dared to oppose and let out a mighty swing, but Zero dodged it by jumping back. In his hand formed a gray chain and he threw it forward. It wrapped around the hammer’s head, and Zero yanked it away and brought it to himself.
“It’s time for the hammer to fall,” Zero said.
Before Mario could respond, Zero had dashed up to him with the Fox Illusion, and hit Mario on his side, knocking him a fair distance. Mario didn’t budge after the attack, and instead just lay where he was. Zero turned to the rest of the Smashers and said, “Anyone else want to try and be a hero?”
In a fit of rage, Link charged for Zero and swung his sword, and Zero retaliated by swinging the hammer, only for the sword to cut right through it. From his left came Ness, who jumped into the air, and exclaimed “PK FLASH!” before firing a green energy ball at Zero which exploded at his feet, tripping him onto his back. Link prepared to thrust his sword into Zero’s chest, but he rolled out of the way before it could be done, and kicked Link upside the head.
“Do not try to be a hero this time!” Zero snapped to the Hylian.
BANG!
From the distance came a gunshot, fired from Shadow. He continued to fire them in Zero’s direction and made his way through the crowd of heroes and villains, and when he reached the front, what he saw was horrifying.
There, in front of him, was Ness. On the ground. With blood oozing out of his head.
Shadow’s eyes widened in horror and disbelief. He had gunned down Ness; someone who he had absolutely no quarrels with and had never done anything to bother him. Even Zero looked a little disturbed.
“You...you...F*CK!” Shadow snapped, and stormed up to Zero and pointed the gun at his head. “I’ll see you in hell.”
He pulled the trigger on the gun, only for the bullet to bounce off of a grey bubble which had encased Zero just before the gun was fired. Shadow continued to fire, but none of the bullets went through Zero’s shield. Finally, Shadow ran out of ammo. Zero let down the bubble shield, and was immediately pistol-whipped by the Sonic clone. Zero stumbled to his side, but didn’t fall over.
Soon after this, Captain Falcon blazed out and thrust his fist forward in an attempt to punch Zero, who grabbed his fist and flipped Falcon onto his back, then kicking him in the back.
“Anyone else?”
WHAP!
From behind, Mario had struck Zero with the Golden Hammer, and sent Zero flying through the crowd and crashing headfirst into a house. Zero rolled onto his back and held his head.
“Holy...”
Mario made his way through the crowd, carrying the Golden Hammer on his shoulder. He approached Zero, looked down at him and said, “Bring it, bitch.”
Zero kicked Mario high into the air, only Mario did not come back down. No, he just floated in place. Mario placed himself in a standing position, and looked around, confused. He noticed that the sky had changed colour to a sickly mix of blue and green, with deep purple clouds. The effects of the merge had started taking place, and Mario could now float with ease.
“The merge...” Mario said.
“Cannot be undone,” Zero finished. “The effects of the Distortion World have gone into effect. Notice how you are floating. Notice that the air is still and motionless. Notice how... how this... how my conquest has come to fruition.”
Out of the corner of his eye, Zero saw Giratina open its mouth, formed a orange and yellow ball, and fire it at the hedgehog, plowing into him. Zero recovered quickly and landed on the roof of a hut.
“Don’t you dare attack me! Remember who your master is, Giratina!”
The beast lowered itself to Zero’s level and looked him right in the eye. For the first time ever, Zero actually felt fear. Sweat dripped down his fur as he backed away from the monster, then formed a grey chain in his hand and gritted his teeth. Giratina opened its gaping jaw and lunged forward, wanting to eat Zero for lunch.
Unfortunately, this did not happen, as Zero jumped up at the last minute and landed on Giratina’s neck. He brought the whip down onto Giratina’s neck, infuriated.
“Don’t you EVER attack me again. Do not think for a SECOND I won’t kill you if you do that a second time. Now, where’s the plumber?”
WHOOSH!
Mario came from behind and kicked Zero into the air. Zero did a few front flips before gaining control of himself and posing in an upright position. He dashed towards Mario fist-first, but the plumber dodged the attack, sending Zero into the ground but swooped back up.
“I’m impressed, Mario...your skills in the air are comparable to your skills on the ground. I thought you’d be finished by now.”
“Don’t forget, I fought Bowser in space once,” Mario replied.
“Good for you.”
Zero held out his hand and electricity formed between his fingers, then shot it in a typical Force-lightning fashion. Mario managed to avoid the attack, but not the next; Zero fired a stream of water at Mario, hitting him in the chest and into a large factory. Mario crashed through the wall and landed on his back on a catwalk.
There were pipes with steam bursting out of them, and the inside of the factory was very hot. Sweat started making its way down Mario’s face. From the hole he had entered, Zero came in, walked across the catwalk, holding a blaster. Mario got up and walked towards Zero.
“Come and get me, furball,” Mario taunted.
Zero aimed the blaster at Mario’s head, but before he could fire, the building began to shake, and a couple pieces of debris fell onto the catwalk. Then came the cry of Giratina.
“BISHYAAAAAN!”
“I told you not to attack me again...!” Zero grunted. “Sorry, mustachio, but I have a monster to kill.” Zero then leapt out of the building in one jump, crashing through the roof. He found Giratina heading towards the battleground where the war had started, and the beast fired another fireball into the crowd. The attack missed everyone, except Black Shadow.
Zero landed on another small hut, and Marx flew to him.
“You have to do something! Giratina isn’t following anyone’s orders but its own!” Marx cried, panicking.
“Nonsense!” Zero snapped. “He’s just following my orders to attack!”
Giratina turned its head and faced Zero, and shot a thin stream of fire at Zero, the attack in question being Dragonbreath, and the large fireball being Fire Blast. Dragonbreath consumed Zero whole, but the grey hedgehog put up the bubble shield at the last second and defended himself. When the attack ended, Zero stood defiantly, eyeing the Distortion World King.
“I warned you,” he growled, and formed a black ball between his hands, then shot it at Giratina, who took the attack directly. It crashed into the ground and, for the most part, didn’t move. “Stupid beast.”
Zero turned and saw Mario, eyes locked on him like a predator.
“You’re persistent. It’s pretty annoying,” Zero said. He then grinned, and held out his hand, but moved his fingers towards himself, in a “come get me” manner. In response, Mario ran towards Zero, but just before he crashed into him, jumped into the air. Zero followed, chasing Mario into the clouds. Mario soon stopped and kicked Zero in the side of the head. The hedgehog did a few cartwheels in the air, but then chased after Mario above the clouds...only to find that the sun was gone, and saw the same sickly blue-green sky.
“It’s...I can’t believe it...Not even the sun can pierce through this?”
”No, it cannot.”
From below, Zero appeared and faced Mario, pulled out a baseball bat, and swung it, sending Mario flying through the air. He flew a good 50 feet before gaining control, only to see Zero flying towards him at supersonic speeds. Mario braced himself for the oncoming blow, but it was too late.
Zero’s attacked had already landed, and Mario faced the ground back-first, and his eyes slowly closed. His body went limp, and he started descending towards the ground.
Zero clenched his right hand into a fist, and soon, it became encased in a light blue aura. He then pulled his arm back, and exclaimed...
“Falcon...”
He then thrust himself towards Mario and brought his fist forward, connecting the attack with the plumbers face.
“PUUUUUUUNCH!!!”
Blue specs of dust exploded from the attack, and Zero and Mario were sent plummeting towards the ground. They went all the way down a skyscraper before finally crashing into the streets.
The battle was over. Zero had won.
