Chapter 16: The Fortress
{1} The Air Rider Strikes Back
The battle for the Nintendo World had begun. To the north and south, the defenders and assaulters were about to begin their endeavors. But in the middle, arranged as previously mentioned in an arrow-point formation, the rest of the Alliance forces awaited the command of their leaders to commence the push westward towards Master Hand’s Room, and then to his fortress where the fate of everything they knew would be decided. The same apprehension and mixed fear and determination present in the rest of the Alliance burnt strongest of all in these bravest of warriors. Forming the thick border of the triangle formation were the hundreds of cavalry from both Roy’s homeland and Hyrule, ready to charge. Inside this border were the foot soldiers of the same places. From tip to bottom, the host stretched about an eighth of a mile, numbering several hundred. The Great Fox flew directly above the center of the formation, which Peppy controlled, and behind the craft over the bottom edge of the formation flew Fox, Falco, and Slippy in their swift Arwings. The rest of the division was positioned at the front. Kirby, riding upon the rainbow-colored Dragoon, and Meta Knight, his yellow eyes burning with the invigoration of combat, flew at the head of the Star Warriors, prepared to ensure the mission’s success at all costs. Below at the tip of the arrow, Link and Marth were mounted on horses side by side and getting ready to lead their men into battle (Link obviously riding Epona). Epona was a deep auburn while the rest of the stallions and war-horses were black and brown. Directly behind them, forming the second and third rows of the triangle, were Mario and Luigi (piggybacking the Babies), Roy, the Ice Climbers, Pac-man, Bomberman, Ness, and Shadow the Hedgehog.
The great number of heroes assigned to this task proved how important it was to the Alliance’s success. If they failed, all that had happened in the last two chapters would be for nothing. There was a great pressure upon them in this way, but the comfort of their unity gave each individual great strength.
Link stopped stroking his loyal Epona’s mane and turned to Marth. “Are you with me?”
“To the death,” Marth replied with a brotherly smile.
Link smiled back, then turned back to face the armies of Master Hand. He drew the Biggoron Sword and pointed it forward with one hand (momentarily). Marth drew his as well, following suit. “For the freedom of our world!” Link shouted. “For our homes and families, and for Bottles! FORWARD!”

Epona and Marth’s horse reared up, giving a ferocious whinny, and charged their riders forward towards the oppressing army. Everyone else behind them followed their lead, crying out valorously and drawing their swords. Even though many were forced to run along the ground, the swift moving of the cavalry encouraged them and gave them energy to pick up their pace and run swiftly along so as to keep the formation intact. Above, the Star Warriors charged ahead of the rest and met the enemy long before they did. The Great Fox and the Arwings remained above the triangle, however, for the responsibility was theirs to defend the formation from aerial attacks or ones from behind.
“Star Fox Squadron report in. Fox here,” Fox spoke into his radio.
“Slippy here!”
“Falco locked and loaded.”
“Peppy here…and for real, I need to retire after this…”
“Roger. Team Star Fox, fulfill the objective; remember, we must remain with the formation and defend it at all costs. Good luck, everyone. Fox out!”
While they moved closer and closer down the purple hill towards the Wire Frames, they could see similar movements both to their north and south, which helped lift their spirits even higher; the Star Warriors had already fallen upon the adversary, swooping down and slashing, swooshing, and swinging their weapons upon the Wire Frames, which creations proved to be as feeble as ever. To add to all this, Mario and Luigi had used yet another Copy Flower, so their enemy wouldn’t merely be dealing with two Marios and two Luigis, rather a hundred instead.
At last, the arrow formation began to cut into the Wire Frame forces. Link and Marth were the first of the horses to begin the great trampling which ensued. The Wire Frames were too slow; a few of them managed to jump over the cavalry only to be combo attacked by the Marios and Luigis, sent to oblivion via Roy’s flaming sword, smashed down by Popo and Nana’s hammers, devoured like a pellet or blue ghost by the running Pac-man, blown up by one of Bomberman’s smooth blue bombs, fried by Ness’s PK Fire, kicked away by Shadow’s flaming white shoes, or stabbed by weapons wielded by the infantry.
But for the most part, the arrow formation sliced through Master Hand’s armies even more quickly and effectively than the assaulters or defenders, leaving most of the Wire Frames’ bodies flattened by the horses. Nothing seemed to be able to stand in their way, and the morale of everyone was high. No casualties, after five minutes of fighting, had yet been suffered.
The thriving warriors, heroes, and pilots continued on in this way for nearly an hour, cutting so far into the Wire Frames’ ranks that soon they could only barely see the rest of the Alliance battling distantly behind them. But then, as is known, things turned up a notch.
They reached the end of the typically built Wire Frames, but their progress was immediately and dramatically slowed when their opponents suddenly changed from simply male and female to twenty-five completely unique variations. Almost at once, many more of the Wire Frames evaded the trampling horses or retaliated first. The Star Warriors faced numberless projectiles firing up at them: fireballs, lightning bolts, arrows, lasers, Shadow Balls, etc. Marth, Link, and the rest of the heroes pushed their way forcefully forward, but couldn’t easily move on without waiting for the painfully gradual advancement of the rest of the formation behind them. Team Star Fox was now engaged in vicious combat with the Aparoid army while struggling to remain above the group.
Now dozens were falling on both sides, and the formation continued moving forward at only a fraction of their previous speed. The morning blazed into mid-afternoon, and although they had gone miles, there was still no visible sign of Master Hand’s room ahead. The rest of the Alliance had completely vanished behind them, and in front of them the slightly hilly Battlefields seemed to stretch on forever with no limits or bounds…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kirby fought fiercely, sucking in enemies here and spitting them out there, slicing into several at once with the sharp front of Dragoon. But then he noticed a blue-green figure bulldozing through the Wire Frames in front of them at a speed of at least 100 mph. The figure continued to speed in his direction, knocking away its own allies, and at a gradual angle it lifted off the ground and made with much unfriendliness towards Kirby and the Dragoon. The puffball sensed this hostility, and sloped Dragoon up just in time to avoid colliding with the new enemy. It sped by in a blur, but this glance was enough for Kirby to identify the Air Rider which had almost killed him. It was Hydra, the other legendary Air Ride Machine which was known for its brutal, deadly speed and its three thorny green points protruding from the glowing yellow base. However, the Hydra had passed by underneath him too quickly for Kirby to clearly see the rider, so he turned Dragoon around to face the rider of Hydra who had also stopped in the air to prepare for another charge.
Not too surprising it was to discover that controlling Hydra was none other than Metal Kirby, its round metal figure featureless and emotionless. Kirby knew trying to reason with the clone would not be worthwhile, so after seeing the Hydra charging up for another strike, the famous Star Warrior dived down below and began contemplating a strategy to defeat his metal adversary.
He decided to curve back straight upwards underneath Metal Kirby where the clone couldn’t very well see him, but a split second before he would have sliced into Hydra, the machine barrel rolled to the side and pursued the Dragoon in an upwards spiral. Kirby glanced behind as he ascended, the sky a blur all around, and saw Metal Kirby advancing close below him, so he executed a full loop-de-loop and was now behind Hydra.
Metal Kirby suddenly came to an abrupt halt and turned around, however, and Kirby did not have time to react before crashing into the thorny points. Kirby was sent careening painfully off Dragoon, which flipped around in the air and then exploded into pieces. The pink puffball puffed up five times in an attempt to stay aloft, but after the fifth, he gasped for air and began plummeting downwards, spinning uncontrollably, towards the ground far below. The air whizzed past him, and now Hydra was coming back at a horizontal angle with the intent of spearing Kirby on its sharp points…
Then, faster than even Hydra, a red blur raced down from above, cushioned Kirby’s fall, and whisked him away before Hydra could get to him. Kirby, dazed, looked dizzily at what he was now riding upon, and saw that it was one of the Wolfens of Team Star Wolf--the Black Rose, to be exact. A feline voice sounded from inside the cockpit.

“Panther always rends aid to allies in need. Ah, but what’s this?” The black-furred cat looked to his right to see Kirby clinging onto the wing. He then saw that behind him, Metal Kirby had redirected Hydra and was coming in for yet another strike. “Looks as if this small friend lacks a means of combating his enemy. Panther would deliver the finishing blow himself, but his noble instinct deems that this is your foe to defeat. Here, friend, take this…” Panther opened the cockpit and handed Kirby a red rose. Kirby took it in his stubby arms, but looked confused. Why had this strange pilot given him a rose, of all things?”
“Panther knows this may seem to be a useless gift at the moment, but somehow he believes that you can use it to your advantage. Farewell, little pink hero, and remember the act of kindness performed for you this day by Panther Caruso. And you needn’t worry about returning the rose; Panther possesses plenty more…”
Hydra came up rapidly behind the Black Rose, intent on obliterating it, when Panther executed a 180° loop, avoiding Hydra and now going the other way. Unfortunately, this required the Wolfen to turn upside down, and as the Hydra was passing below, Kirby fell off of the Black Rose and barely grabbed onto the back of the Hydra while still holding the red rose. He had to be careful not to prick his stubby hand on it because it was so thorny…

75 Sir Meta Knight's Revenge.mp3
At the moment, Metal Kirby did not appear to notice the unwanted hitchhiker, so Kirby flailed in the air behind the Air Machine as it jerked and flew in search of him. With no other ideas in mind, Kirby drew in a deep breath of air, tossed the rose in his mouth, and swallowed it painfully as the thorns scratched his throat (I will not go deep into puffball anatomy here).
Poof! Rose Kirby was born. Similar to Spike Kirby, this new Copy Ability caused the previously pink hero to be covered in small spikes, or in this case, thorns. He was also now as green as the dark stem of a rose, and positioned comically on top of his head was a bright red flower. Also, instead of his hands ending as stubs, thorny tendrils extended a few feet beyond on each side and ended with two more roses; Kirby’s arms now functioned more like ball-and-chains, or Ivysaur’s Vine Whip.
Realizing that his new appearance blended in well with the thorny points of Hydra, Kirby swung his tendril-arms quietly around the base of the left horn and attached himself discreetly to it with the two roses interlocking and twisting together on the other side (although he needn’t worry about noise because of the ruckus of the war below and the screeching of the wind). He could see the back edge of Metal Kirby as the Hydra sped through the air, still in search of the one it had been sent to find and take down. The headwind pushed against Rose Kirby, but with the sticking of the thorns, he held on.
Finally gathering up enough courage, Rose Kirby unstuck all of his thorns from the horn, and began swinging back and forth on the loop formed by his tendril-arms (Lanky Kong would have been proud). He did this until he had enough momentum to propel him completely over the top of Hydra and land almost on top of Metal Kirby. And this, being impossible to go unnoticed in the top fringes of the clone’s eyesight (which I still have not figured out since they do not technically have eyes), caused Metal Kirby to finally turn around to see Rose Kirby frowning with his tendril-arms waving about. But before it could do anything, Rose Kirby swiftly wrapped his tendrils around the metal figure and lifted it clean into the air with his temporary plant-like strength. Then, even as the Hydra continued to speed forward undirected at well over any approved speed limit except in space, Rose Kirby began to spin round and round, swinging Metal Kirby in a wide circle with him. He did this faster and faster until they were a spinning blur within a blur, like Mario spinning Bowser around on an F-Zero machine, and then finally let go, releasing his metal duplicate far away. As far as my research goes, Metal Kirby was destroyed mid-fall by a turret fired by the Delano 7, the ship piloted by the bounty hunter Sylux. For I know that only its scattered metal chunks remained afterwards.
“My Rider!” Kirby called out as he gained control of the Hydra. And that was all he needed to say. However, he had to dispose of his Rose abilities in order to effectively maneuver the vehicle. When he looked down he was shocked to see nothing but Wire Frames as far as the eye could see, packed densely together like purple ants. Kirby knew he was supposed to be helping those heading for Master Hand’s fortress, but at this point there was no hope in trying to find his way back in time. So he resolved that he may as well begin carving his way here. Hydra was nigh unstoppable, after all…
From below, the green figure of Hydra suddenly dropped straight back onto the ground, and began charging though dozens upon dozens of Wire Frames, helpless even in their many variations. Many Kirby Frames attempted to confront him while riding upon other Air Ride machines, but of course it was no contest against the legendary beast of machinery (although Kirby did wonder where they acquired Air Riders in the first place).
Kirby eventually claimed the title for the defeat of the most Wire Frames attributed solely to his name during this war--and it’s not hard to figure out how.

Eh? x 2
Even though my reading population seems to have gone from 8 to about 3, I still have to finish this. I've gone too far already. If you scrutinize it carefully enough, you'll find a Narnia ripoff.
And you'll see soon enough why I had Panther, of all people, help...
As always, all comments, constructive criticism included, are welcomed, and just let me know if I'm going too fast or posting too much at once.
This should be one of the best chapters of the story...action-packing-wise.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{2} The Door of Hero's Bane

Back at the point of the arrow formation, the horses continued to charge ceaselessly through the virtual ocean of Wire Frames. It was a challenge with all the different attacks and styles facing them at once, and there were many who fell honorably, but in general the Alliance was able to avoid most of their attacks if they kept up a continuous speed. But they had been doing this for so long that many of the soldiers began to lose hope…
Finally, a sign that their push was nearing its end made itself manifest. Although there was, indeed, no giant wall or door as Professor E. Gadd had imagined, there was a single arch which appeared to be of significance because beyond this arch there were no more Wire Frames. Link and Marth at the lead first noticed this strange landmark, and called out to the rest of their forces encouragingly.
“We are almost there!” Marth shouted. “To the arch at the bottom of this slope!” This slope they were now on was very gradual, with the distant arch at the far end. But beyond that, the rest of the landscape beyond appeared perfectly--and I mean perfectly--flat. It seemed, as has been mentioned before, to stretch on forever: no sea, only the early afternoon sky on the level horizon.
Before them, a couple hundred feet away, Meta Knight dropped back and warned them in a loud voice. “Beware! Their mounted fighters guarding the arch are fierce; they repel our Star Warriors with arrows of fire. We cannot compete against them.” The masked warrior then called on the Star Warriors to fall back to allow the cavalry to step in where they could not prevail.
“Mounted fighters?” Link asked, startled. “What kind of Wire Frames can be ridden?”
“See for yourself,” was all Meta Knight said before he and his warriors split to help reinforce the flanks.
Link, Marth, and the other heroes anticipated these last obstacles in the way of what was no doubt the entrance to Master Hand’s room. But on closer look, they realized that they all appeared to be the same. These were Link Frames, which explained the arrows, but what surprised most of them was that they were actually riding horses of the same nature, or Horse Frames. This, at least, was one variation of Wire Frames which was not part of the Original 25. Yet this fact did not make the reality any easier to face. It would be cavalry versus cavalry, for the foot soldiers stood no chance against mounted opponents so high off the ground. Even the other heroes besides Link and Marth merged with the foot soldiers and relied on the strength of their horsemen to win this unexpected struggle. The biggest issue, however, was that there were hundreds upon hundreds of them blocking their way to the arch in a thick wall of Horse and Link Frames, far outnumbering their own forces.
“Let’s go,” Link committed as he was the first to guide his loyal horse Epona into the final barrier. His green hat fluttered about in the wind behind him, his blue eyes sparked with fearlessness, and the golden Triforce of Courage blazed on the back of his left hand.
“Link--wait!” Marth charged along soon afterwards, gesturing behind him for the rest of the cavalry to follow.
Link lifted the Biggoron Sword high over his head and gave a cry as he brought it down onto the head of the foremost Link Frame. It sliced clean through the tough jelly-like material and wire and split it smoothly in half, each side falling off of the Horse Frame, which Link kicked over with his boot as he passed by. Something rather uncomfortable occurred, however, as each and every one of the Link frames simultaneously turned their featureless faces, stamped with red Smash symbols, towards the Hero of Time in an almost zombie-like manner. They did not pay the slightest attention to Marth and the rest of the horsemen even when they began to be cast down. All focus was centered on Link, as if that was their only purpose and concern…
Then the green-garbed young man did something he’d never done before. He carefully stood upon the bony but sturdy back of his steed, bending his knees, and performed the mightiest Hurricane Spin he’d ever done--while upon a moving horse. The Biggoron sword had such a long range and carried so much momentum that with each full circle, dozens of Link Frames were beheaded and fell to the ground. It was yet another example of a blur within a blur. In this fashion, the legendary hero proceeded unchallenged through the riding Link Frames--until they responded.
Every one of the Link Frames suddenly directed their horses towards Link and Epona, and many of them began shooting arrows in his direction. Link, amidst his spinning, did not pay heed to where Epona was carrying him, and she being among the wisest of horses, galloped not toward the arch, but at a 90° angle to the right away from it. The result of all this was that the masses of enemy riders moved in the same direction away from both the arch and Marth’s horsemen, soon clearing a path for the formation to enter unhindered. Link and Epona, however, were now isolated.
“What is the fool doing?” Marth muttered, reigning in his horse to point it towards the pursuing Link frames.
“Wait, Marth!” Roy cried from behind him. “Link is leading them away to give us a chance to reach the arch! We must take it while we still have the chance, or his act of bravery will have been in vain!”
But Marth hesitated. He did not, of all things, want to leave anyone, especially a friend, behind to face all the enemies they had bypassed.
“Marth! Now!”
And with a deep breath, knowing the Prince Roy was right, Marth reluctantly urged his horse onward to the arch with the rest of the formation, the Star Warriors and Team Star Fox still defending the borders from above as they went along.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Link and Epona continued their ceaseless rampage, cutting through every individual standing in their way with the unmatched might of the Biggoron Sword. Nothing, including the swords wielded by the Link Frames which were made of the same material as themselves, could hold against the swinging and spinning of that great weapon.
That is, until something stopped them.
Arrows came down in a ceaseless volley, striking even their own units. Link had been able to block against the arrows with the blade of his sword and the Hylian Shield on his back, and his head was protected while performing the Hurricane Spin because it was ducked down. Epona was shielded both by Link and the surrounding Link and Horse Frames. But finally, one flaming arrow pierced its way through their defenses and struck Epona in the stomach.
The horse whinnied in pain and collapsed sideways onto the ground, the arrow still stuck and burning her skin. Link cried out as he was suddenly thrown off his horse onto the purple Battlefield surface, the Biggoron Sword flying out of his grasp and clattering several yards away out of his reach. He lay helplessly on his back, his right arm throbbing with pain; it must have been broken. Looking over to his right and seeing Epona thrashing in agony as the fire spread, Link struggled to drag himself towards her. But the Link Frames had all stopped their horses in a tight circle around the two of them, and one rider emerged from the rest and dismounted its horse. It was Metal Link.
Metal Link walked up to the burning horse, and without a second thought, stabbed its heavy metal sword into Epona’s heart and left it there, sticking out and wobbling slightly.
“Epona…no…” Link crawled faster towards his fallen horse, but just before he could touch the sleek mane, he gasped as something sharp was thrust into his stomach, pinning him to the ground. He looked up to see Metal Link standing over him, still holding the Biggoron Sword which it had used to pierce the sword’s own wielder. It twisted the sword both ways and left it there, making his insides scream tortuously. Link weakly reached into his inventory to release a Fairy to revive him, drawing out a small bottle with a pink light inside it and attempting to unscrew the lid. But a ruthless metal boot crushed both his hands and the bottle, killing his last hope of survival. Epona had stopped moving, her flesh being consumed by fire.
Metal Link climbed back onto his Horse Frame without a glance back, and directed the Link Frames back to where the formation was crossing towards the arch. The horde of riding Link Frames galloped away, a few of them trampling the two mangled bodies on the ground--one dead, the other dying. Little did Link know that his foe holding the Triforce of Power was in the same situation; both hero and villain would soon be no more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Link!” Marth yelled as he saw the mounted figure fall from his horse. But there was nothing they could do except go on. As they neared the arch, its details became clearer and clearer, revealing it to be an enormous door with a rounded top and a golden knob with a keyhole beneath it. It was shaped, strangely, exactly like a mouse hole. But behind it there was nothing, just the other side of the door.
As Marth and the rest reached the door, soldiers looked confused as they walked around the isolated door, knocking on the wood of both sides to hear nothing unusual. Marth tried the golden handle but it was, of course, locked.
“What can we do?” he said. “Does anyone think they know the key which can unlock this door?”
At this question, the two Ice Climbers thought intensely. They had come across several keys during their adventure: the Dimension Key, Mr. Game & Watch’s black key which pierced Piranha Gohma…
“That’s it!” Nana cried. She reached into her parka and drew out the first key they had come across during their adventure: the key used to escape the Battlefields into Fourside City, the one guarded by a tribe of Spear Guys and nearly lost to a giant single-eyed lamp monster. Surely if it could get them out of the Battlefields on the other side, it could help them enter the mouse hole-shaped door here.
Nana grasped the key with her mitten and walked forward to the door. She jumped as high as she could, generating the well-known Ice Climber boing sound, and shoved the key into the brass keyhole. Now hanging from the key, she used both mittens to turn the key with a click, and jumped down, backing away for Marth. The prince twisted the doorknob and pulled with a heave. The door moved. Everyone else backed away as he opened the door the furthest it could go on its hinges and peered inside. It took only one glance to confirm that, despite the lack of logic, this hole entered into Master Hand’s room.
“Come on! Inside, hurry!” Marth commanded as he and the other heroes filed in first, followed by the hundreds of soldiers and cavalry (Marth locked the door and took the key out before he left). They had difficulty narrowing the formation to roughly two-by-two so that they would all fit inside.
But while the procession was going through the door, all the distracted Link Frames and their horses turned back around and began charging at them, realizing their quarry was escaping. By the time the back ends of the horses and soldiers had disappeared into the mouse hole, there was barely enough time for the Star Warriors and Arwings to squeeze through (the Arwings barely fit). The Great Fox, of course, could not enter the door, so the ship instead began raining its lasers down upon the mounted Link Frames to give the rest more time to get through.
Roy, who had been waiting and holding the door open for the Alliance fighters to get through, continued to hold it open with his right foot as Fox, Falco, and Slippy zoomed by. The swordsman charged up a full-powered swing of his fiery sword and released it with an explosion when the Link Frames drew near. This blow affected a radius of several yards ahead of him, massacring the Link and Horse Frames, sending them flying back in flames, and giving Roy time to pull the door closed with another click. But even as he closed it, he could feel dozens of arrows pound into the wood, and could only trust in the strength of the lock as he turned with the rest to view the end of their long journey beyond.
