Smash Brothers Civil War: Chapter 33

SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 33: Halberd Battle

The Jungle Ruins
Above the Skies

Rain, dark clouds and the even darker roars of thunder trickled upon the Halberd as it was close to a critical state. Ness and Falco struck back at Porky, while the two Pits faced Meta Ridley in the skies.

“Hahahaha! You can’t catch me!” boasted Ridley.

“Fool, settle this with honor,” Dark Pit chased him.

“Pitto!! No!” shouted Pit.

“Hm, that’s an excellent idea. Here I come then!” said Ridley as he swiftly changed course and headed straight for Pit and Dark Pit.

The two angels dodged Meta Ridley’s Bite Strike.

They both flew after him and shot as many arrows as possible. Ridley retaliated with firing back. Pit and Dark Pit dodged the fire as they ascended, with the rain dripping above them. Ridley flew around the Halberd like a shark and waited for an opportunity to attack. The cybernetic dragon went high and crashed down on Dark Pit. Using his brute strength, Ridley sent Dark Pit crashing down.

“Pitto!! I’ll save you!” Pit made a hasty response and swooped down so fast even Ridley was surprised someone could match his own speed.

“Whoa! How’d that little twerp get so fast?” wondered Ridley as he was amazed at Pit’s speed.

Pit couldn’t feel his face as it was brushing against the air and currently breezing through. But, with determination, the angel caught Dark Pit just in time before they touched the jungle and ascended all the way back up. Dark Pit immediately recovered and left Pit. Pit, who was angry, continued to charge to the top, aimed at Meta Ridley’s chest.

“You’re gonna pay for that!!” in a fiery rage, Pit charged through the mighty dragon, leaving a hole through the chest.

Dark Pit, with slightly wide eyes, was impressed for the first time.

“Who knew that dumbass had it in him?” Dark Pit thought.

Meta Ridley screeched in pain as he knew the hole through him would be fatal. “I-Impossible! I am invincible! How can I—” Meta Ridley said his last words before plummeting to his doom.

Ness and Falco were troubled by Porky and his tremendous wrath. Porky continued to yell out the names of the Smashers and pretended to feel funny. “Man, what is it with this guy? Is he playing us or what?” asked a frustrated Falco.

“Hahahaha… that’s right!! You cannot grasp my true power,” Porky launched another rain of attacks against the Smashers. The Halberd was sustaining critical damage.

“If they don’t end this quickly, the ship could roll over and kill everyone,” Meta Knight thought.

Porky played around like a child and continued to attack the Smashers. Dark Pit and Pit raced back to the Halberd to help fight Porky. The two angels fired a barrage of arrows at the spider mech, seeming to work but had no effect.

“Great. We’re not even phasing this one,” said Dark Pit with an angered look.

“Owie… that hurt… a little,” Porky stated. Falco unfolded a smart bomb grenade launcher and blasted a round of them at the spider mech.

“Why you… oww!!” yelled out Porky. “I warned you!”

Ness unleashed one of his most serious moves: PK Starstorm. Channeling all his energy, he prepared to shoot a shower of meteors at Porky’s mech. “PK Starstorm!!!!!!” Ness shouted as he summoned a meteor shower straight at Porky, putting sufficient damage onto him.

“I won’t ever… ever forgive you… do you hear me? Never… never… NEVER!! I CANNOT BE DEFEATED!!!!” Porky raised his voice. His mecha spider went haywire.

“Now! Know my power!” the entire sky turned dark for a brief moment. Meta Knight disappeared and showed up right next to Porky, performing his serious attack; Galaxia Darkness. In one mighty slash, Porky’s spider mech succumbed to too much damage.

But it was not enough!

“Hahahahaha… KING P CANNOT BE STOPPED!!... Now let me kill you all!” Porky shouted.

“Puyo puyo!!”

And that’s when the Star Warrior himself Kirby, with his ultimate blade, struck Porky’s spider mech straight through, instantly throwing the spider mech off balance and causing it to plummet below the Halberd. Kirby happily floated back to the ship as the skies began to clear and the rain stopped. Meta Knight looked with satisfaction under his mask.

“Alright!! We did it!!” the ragtag team cheered.

“Kirby. Once again, you prove to me why you’re the best,” Meta Knight nodded.

ooo

The Jungle Ruins
The Palace

The Halberd made a safe landing near the palace where the rest of the Smashers were. Pit and Dark Pit flew in afterward. Palutena waved at them.

“Lady Palutena!” shouted Pit.

“Pit! Pitto!” rejoiced Palutena. She hugged both of them, much to Dark Pit’s chargin’.

“Lady Palutena! I’m so glad you’re safe!” said Pit.

“Link… Where were you all this time?!” Zelda rushed to kiss him, but Link shook his head in shame.

“What has gotten into him, I wonder?” Zelda gave thought.

“I failed…” the elf warrior muttered.

Once everyone got settled in and said hello to old friends, the smaller team explained the situation on their end.

“What happened?” asked Mario with concern.

“Well, there was an attack on the Capitol by these men. They were led by this evil warlock and plenty of other bad guys,” Pit answered.

“Did you just say?!...” Bowser’s eyes and jaws opened when he realized who it was.

Link clenched his balled up fists and looked down at the floor in anger. Zelda came to his comfort, but he swatted her away.

“Don’t blame yourself, Link. You mustn’t give up hope,” Zelda told him.

“Ganondorf! He’s back!!” Bowser thought out loud with fear.

“Yeah. He was way too strong for us, but that’s not all,” Pit added as everyone started to get more nervous.

“There was also this other army with a floating figure in a green robe commanding them. They used this strange thing and then the Capitol was suddenly swallowed up in darkness,” Pit continued.

“It had to be that floating man in the green robe from before. He left before all of you arrived,” explained Snake. “What the?!” Snake pointed at the dark ball of energy.

“Hey, what’s wrong? What… are… you… looking at?” Samus asked before she faced the dark ball of energy as well.

“...” Mario had a look of terror as he and the rest of the Smashers stared at the object in the sky.

The Smashers looked on at the horror of the dark matter ball that held deep and unknown carnage behind it.
