Chapter 2: Forces of Darkness

[Cell]

[Crehavos, Steele, Karocka, Black Knight]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Crehavos pondered on the matter for a moment, and decided. "Steele and Karocka, I would like both of you to apprehend King K. Rool and bring him back to me. After that is though... there is a very power entity I also wish to recruit. I will tell you the whereabouts of this person after you bring King K. Rool to me."

"Yes sir," Steele and Karocka said together, bowing.

"What about me, your lordship?" Black Knight asked, kneeling before Crehavos.

"Ah, Zelgius. I would like you to accompany one of my top commanders, Evil Kin, on a mission to capture one individual. I need him brought back alive, so once you find him, only take it as far as to bring him unconcsious. His name is Dobs, and is a very powerful leader of the SSS." Crehavos' voice grew deep with assertion and said, "Do not fail this mission, Zelgius."

"Understood, Master Crehavos." Zelgius said assuringly.

Crehavos nodded curtly and said, "Dismissed."

[Sephiroth, Kanju]
[Desert Area]

Still not having awakened from the sealing of the sword spirit, Kanju remained unconcsious which irked Sephiroth.

"I must've done too strong of a seal... No matter, I'll take him down to Hell anyway." Sephiroth said to himself. The silver haired warrior walked over to the fallen man, threw him over his shoulder, and disappeared from sight.

{Rev}

Completely naked He was finally released from his prison and after destroying the robots he walked up the stairs and went into the room he found a button underneath a picture and pressed it the wall slid to the side and Rev went down the stairs and saw clothes that were set out and folded like his mother had just set a fresh outfit for him to wear once he got dressed he grabbed these swords that were floating around a hollow energy beam they were sheathed and cold he also grabbed two gems then after grabbing them he placed them in the slot were they needed to be at, once he had completely this he went upstairs and jumped thu the window like he was Spider man and also landed the same way he dashed off down the path and ran to the end of the path and stopped that's when his body had become transported he could feel it, I then appeared in a Jungle or Forest the area was covered with trees and birds chirping, and a huge mountain top behind me covered with leaves and long tree leaves that could be swung from he knew he was in another world because of the sky the sky was nice and blue and cloudy the sun was shiny really bright, also the atmosphere was absolutely different. This setting also kind of minded him of being freed from his prison by an unknown adversary known as Zero

Flashback: Zero had walked into the lab completely dominating the security he came here because he sensed a strong power and that is how I became free of my prison.

{SSE Forest}
{Rev, Rayquaza}

Being in the world of the unknown I don't know what to expect as I was exploring I came across a lake in the center of the Forest As I stood their staring into the lake and at my own appearance a green dragon rose from underneath the water in the very center of the lake my eyes followed it's body as it flew upwards I soon looked up with my body then the dragon swirled around everywhere it stared at me like it was hungry, I stared back at it looking up at it an a straight cornered angle at the beast... this dragon roared at the tops of it's lung only a smirk appeared across my face finally able to fight I stretched my limbs out, the dragon choice to attack me I watched as it tried to fly across me and grab me I just stepped back then grabbed its small arm and not knowing how strong it was it just flung me with it my eyes widen "Ok so you seem like you do have some fight in you after all." I said with a deep smooth voice, the beast roared again I climbed up it's small back then rode him like he was my own personal pet I stood up and it did a quick spin all the way around so when it spun around Rev, grabbed it by it's arm with some physical strength behind it he then brought the beast down with him and slammed it against the ground head first luckily he went easy on the beast this time around or it's head wouldn't be still on it's body at all. Rev did feel the ground vibrate a bit he then watched as the beast could not take flight anymore so he kicked it back into the lake where it belonged and continued to explore saying to beast if it was here "Pitiful."

[Dark Pyramid: Mr. Game & Watch, Snicket Illusion, Nightmare Jr.]

Slightly daunted when Nightmare Jr., his pursuer, found no more trouble levitating over the gap than Snicket had, Game & Watch swiftly turned to the door, stuck his black "master key" into the lock, and twisted it open. Beyond was another complex maze of hallways and interwoven tunnels blasted into the ancient stone. Game & Watch and the fake Bob, breathing heavily, reached a 6-way intersection which spread like the fingers of some alien creature.

Snicket stopped. "Go, friend. I shall distract our little virus."

The Brawler nodded and ran on. After a few minutes, he reached the opposite end of the maze, where there was another set of descending stairs leading into the second basement floor. He leapt jaggedly down the stairs, barely touching the steps except to jump again and bouncing off the curving walls. Upon arriving in floor B2, a great sweep of heat came upon him. When he saw several splotches of deep red-orange further on, he realized they were now far enough underground to encounter lava.

* * *

Meanwhile, back at the second maze of hallways, Snicket had stood directly in the middle of the somewhat narrow passage, blocking Nightmare Jr. and forcing him to a stop.

"Hello there, demon creature! How's about a little game?" A chessboard appeared instantly on the ground between them, and Snicket shuffled a deck of cards between his hands unrealistically swiftly. "You can choose the game we play!"

Nightmare Jr. snarled and replied in a squealing voice with Bowser Jr.-esque malice. "Out of my way, simpleton! Don't make me destroy you!" The miniature version of the evil being known as Nightmare, being even quicker than he looked, dodged to the side and dashed past Bob's right side, intent on continuing his chase. But he yelled in surprise and frustration when upon entering one of the branching passages, the strange boy known as Bob Snicket had once again implanted himself in his way.

Snicket smiled playfully. "Come on, just one game?" But then, the illusion mutated itself into a massive beast with big yellow eyes, a pointy snout, and pig-like ears, its body being very round and shelled like a snail's, and 3-fingered claws protruding from four areas at the bottom of the spherical abdomen. It was a replica of the Army Dillo from DK 64.



Nightmare Jr. paused in confusion. "Huh?"

However, once the giant armadillo retreated into its metal shell and began rolling like a ginormous boulder in his direction, the spawn of Nightmare needed no further prodding to retreat from the seemingly-menacing figure.

[Dark Pyramid: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian, Lynx, Zero, Nightmare]

"Hmm...this is quite a challenging illusion to maintain...especially from this distance..." The real Snicket had to close his eyes and concentrate all his efforts on controlling the Army Dillo illusion from inside the giant Yoshi Egg. It was indeed a challenge, but also quite entertaining.

[The King Of Darkness]

Nightmare Jr: Well since your allusion i can kill you but i can to this.

The Snicket illusion was trapped in a impenetrable caccon of darkness as the giant armadillo rolled towards NM Jr. NM Jr moved towards game & watch at full speed. With NM Jr. speed G&W was within his sight within Mere moments. NM Jr fired several powerful shots toward G&W.

Nightmare Jr: Eh Hee hee hee heee!!

[IOwnedYou]

The illusion faded but a dome was around him. Everything was quiet... Then a giant burst of energy broke the dome. He saw Smashbro and Misami standing there. Sm,ashbro had his sword out. "I'm not going to screw with this place anymore. I'll make it fall once and for all", he looked at Misami and quickly disappeared then came at her side and picked her up by her neck. He was about t pierce her neck with ice shards but Smashbro tackled him out of the way. "What the?!" he kicked him off and grabbed his face. He continuously slammed his head against the ground. He stopped and let go. "Your life... is in the hands of the Demon Of War", he pointed an ice blade at Misami. "If you move you die. Trying to make another illusion would be pointless", he stuck a blade by Smashbro's throat.

{SSE Forest/Jungle}
{Rev}

As I was exploring I noticed that I ended up in a jungle this jungle, seemed pretty large I stared around as the sun beamed down on my eyes which caused me to squint not finding anything of true interest here I did however see a couple of odd turtle like creatures wielding small black hammers while jumping up I mentally thought to myself that's strange... I was going to walk over to it but decided to leave it alone and continued exploring I followed along a bricked path placing my right hand inside my pocket as my scarf blew in the wind like flag.

[Kitt eh]

Lynx sighed, but ate the bean up anyway, and got up. He tilted his head, like a confused puppy, trying to think on what he should do.

"What exactly do you want me to do now?" Lynx asked, with a questionable look

[The King Of Darkness]

Zero: If you HAVE to help just keep him busy for me. I have the power to destroy him and i will! Im gonna beat the holy h*ll out of this freak and force him to drop this stupid barrier. Now... lets do this.

[supersonicblast06]

{Rev, R.O.B's}
{Jungle/Research Facility}

Following along the straight yellow brick path I looked around ostensibly oblivious of where I was even heading, I didn't really have any particular entrust in this world. Accept for the fact that I wanted to explore so that is what I am doing right now. I traveled so far down this path that I could see a shady figure that had a striking resemblance to a black knight, I couldn't make out this being that much because it was so far away but whatever it was I stopped and stood taking my right hand out of my pocket I then squinted my eyes down while leering at this oncoming individual. Rev had faded away, it was as if someone or something transported him I ended up outside of a research facility, once again transported this didn't bother me to much but...I was on all fours my knees were pressed against the solid cold ground. So I stood up strangely half my body was cocked to the left side their stood a wide brick wall perfectly aligned across this facility and a steel gate middled in between. Now I wasn't a stranger to research facilities, Of course I had to get over this entire wall that towered over me above even had barbwire's perfectly aligned across the shoulder of the wall to keep out any intruders. I was so close to the gate that I couldn't be detected by security so I was safe. For the moment, I stood back two feet so I could observe this obstacle but... The alarms went off... on me when realizing this. He took time to study on how he could get over this, with my scarf over my shoulder laying flat on the front exterior of the left side of my chest I took three steps back than dashed forward toward the wall that kept so many behind it's quarters. Running up the wall he leaped toward the shoulder about to grab a hold on the shoulder of the wall but then I remembered about the barbwire's so he instead, quickly refrained from touching it and pressed his front feet so that he applies pressure on it and so that the bottom half is facing the wall but not touching it. I then started sliding down some before immediately falling down, I could hear the door to the facility open my enhanced hearing made this possible also it enhances doing intense conditions which is probably why. I began hiking the wall extending my white clear human like claws and stabbed them into the brick wall my enhanced physical strength was enough to induce a breakage against the wall while hiking this it felt like my claws were going to break but I knew they were fine, finally reaching the end of this wall I pushed my body down like I was getting ready to wall jump and forced my body into the air I was 3 feet into the air because that's what it called for, I then landed over the gate finally this was something that caught my entrust.

[supersonicblast06]

{Research Facility}
{Rev, R.O.B's}

After getting over the tower, I noticed their were boxes, crates, barrels and steel pipes all around. Once I landed on the middle of the ground my feet slammed so hard that it caused a thundering earthquake that could vacillate the entire large field, I was crouched alittle my head facing the ground, after landing I felt the presents of five robots starting to surround me the only thing was I didn't know where they were coming from, I stood up slowly and unballed my left hand which was in a fist when I was airborne and started twisting my upper body left ward like I was going to perform a breakdance move after placing myself in the correct position combining my quick agility with my power I precisely executed my attack against these cold framed machines I did this twice in a row and conjured up a large amount of wind that furiously came from every direction possible it was so strong that it even began to crack then destroy the entire wall. This wind not only flinged them everywhere but it also cut straight thu the machines then created a small explosion in them that of course blew them apart and destroyed the environmental objects, after easily taking care of the robots, Rev, in order to stop himself from spinning at the end of this move, he quickly turnt his hands palm flat against the ground when slightly in that split second he was airborne his palms touched the ground. Done with them I looked at the pipe that had been cut thu the middle then I turned my head over my right shoulder and looked at the damage I had did to the wall the wall was completely destroyed it was just sizes of rubble from the wall on the ground, I wasn't pleased with this worlds enemies so far. He casually walked onward toward this facility acting like nothing ever happened you could see in my eyes that I was indeed focused, but on what? However, I walked toward the door but instead of opening it a round large, shadowy portal had appeared under me and I dropped down, I didn't freak out I just waited to see were this would take me. Would this take me to hell? or maybe? another universe? It ended up taking me inside of the facility and I was staring at a door, I was faced with a red mysterious door. I placed my scarf behind me so that it laid flat over my shoulder on the left side of my body. Rev decided to open the door and walk inside the room, once inside I observed every detail of this room and it came to be the control room that I was in it was medium sized and their were three monitors pushing out ward some, the screens were all static and the controls in here looked like they haven't been used for awhile I investigated it walking over to the black computer chair, Once I saw that it seemed like someone has been here I still didn't care I became curious as to what it's going to show me so I sat down, then I found the switch to turn it on and next to it was the words, on printed in black like the controls I used the side of my pointing finger and flipped the switch. The monitors came on they automatically showed me the events that was going on in this universe, on the very left screen I could see that Black Knight that I believed I saw not to long ago, then on the middle screen I could see a character in battle armor who looked like he was talking I didn't bother with the other screen because for some reason this man seemed slightly familiar to me it was as if I seen him somewhere in my dreams.... I looked for the audio switch once I found it I flipped the switch on and heard his voice I heard him say to someone Im gonna beat the holy h*ll out of this freak and force him to drop this stupid barrier. Now... lets do this.

{This is because I had to leave and could not finish so this is the continuation of my last post.}

[Kitt eh]

"Fine by me." Lynx said, running off towards Nightmare.

He sheathed his sword and waved his arm, trying to get Nightmare's attention, "Hey! Big, dark, and ugly! Look over here! Think you can catch me!" Lynx yelled grinning.

[The King Of Darkness]

Nightmare raised one of his hands and charged up his dark energy he unleashed millions of smaller beams of energy at one time (Like Buus Human Extinction From DBZ). These smaller beams rained down on snickets group. Zero Moved at super speed to avoid being hit. Lynx got hit barely by one beam. Snickets group scramble to avoid being hit.

Zero: You idiot! You Call THAT a distraction?!

Lynx: Well Do you have any better ideas?!

Zero: Yes! Intead of waving your arms around like an idiot how about you actually ATTACK?!

[smashbro]

smashbro chuckled, making Iownedyou push the ice closer to his throat. smashbro looked down and saw blood. smashbro, however, continued to smile.
"Iownedyou, no matter how evil you are, there will always be someone to fight you, someone to stand up for good. Kill me, go ahead. I think my time in the spotlight here is fading anyways...things have changed since the beginning of this story. I dont plan on dying here, but it seems a bit too late to fight. So, having said that," smashbro made a red enegry wall appear separating Iownedyou from Misami. Anything that goes through it would melt, even metal and other such materials. "Do your worst. I'll take it."

[bobsnicket]

OOC: The rest of Snicket's group is protected during the battle by an impenetrable Yoshi egg, 'member. And KoD...Nightmare really shouldn't know about the illusions.

[Dark Pyramid: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian, Lynx, Zero, Nightmare]

The egg shook as Nightmare's beams fell upon it; the shell vibrated tremendously, shaking everyone inside it like a maraca.

The ordeal ceased, and several of the SSS members looked impressed.

"I am curious, dinosaur...how do you make your eggs so incredibly strong?" Snake asked in the darkness.

"Calcium and protein, my friend; calcium and protein," Yoshi replied sagely.

"But...I thought you only ate fruit...?" Veronica inquired.

Yoshi smiled cheekily. "Let's just say...that's only when the children are watching..." These words were followed by an eerie silence; no one wanted to consider what Yoshi meant.

[Dark Pyramid: Mr. Game & Watch, Snicket Illusion, Nightmare Jr.]

Nightmare Jr, the little devil he was, evaded the Army-Dillo and sped down another passage at a frightening speed, zoomed down the stairs, and sent projectile attacks toward Game & Watch once more.

The 2-D Smasher, restricted by a low frame-rate as he was, managed to catch the shots in his oil bucket. He then caused the bucket to mix the substances and regurgitate the energy back out in the form of burning black oil, drenching Nightmare and causing him to squeal in pain. Mr. Game & Watch sped further on while his pursuer was afflicted, navigating treacherous bridges and pathways with no railings and featuring sheer drops into boiling lava that surged with heat. The Brawler would have been sweating if it was possible.

Not looking back, but taking enough caution to avoid falling, Game & Watch leapt onto a moving platform of red clay which, soon after he landed on it, began floating up and away across a virtual sea of the molten rock. He had to toss several pieces of bacon at switches along the way, duck under streams of fire, and swat away flaming Keese with a black flag of his. He looked back, hoping he could retain a lead over the miniature assassin...
