SUPER SMASH BROTHERS: Return of Tabuu (2022)

Mega Lucario blasted a volley of aura energy spheres, causing big explosions. None of them hurt Giygas.

“I told you all already… YOU CANNOT GRASP MY TRUE FORM!!!!!! KILLER MOVE: UNDYING MUTILATION!!!!!” a stronger shower of red energy bombs beamed from above.

Mega Lucario could not withstand them.

“This is infuriating!!!” his aura increased rapidly nonetheless.

“SYNERGY… BURST!!!!!” Mega Lucario used the Synergy Burst, shooting it directly at Giygas. No effect at all.

“No way!!!” Mega Lucario was using up all the power he had.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Giygas boasted.

“I’m going to put everything I have into this one attack!!!!” Mega Lucario leaped to the tallest building he could find. He increased his aura even further. Shades of red and blue surrounded him. His muscles bulked up. He was at full power.

“DO YOUR WORST!!!!!” Giygas baited him.

“The power of aura guides me! SHINING SPIRAL MEGA AURA STORM!!!!!!!” Mega Lucario launched a plethora of Mega Aura Storms. Out they came like octopus arms.

“THAT HURT!!!!! THAT REALLY HURT!!!!!” Giygas was in anguish.

Lucario realized something was wrong. “What’s he planning?”

“AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING!!!!! DARK SPIRAL DEVIL CANNON!!!!!!!” Giygas copied Lucario’s ultimate attack. This time, it was an array of spiral violent red energy waves moving towards the target on their own.

“Can’t be…” all Lucario could do was stand there and take the hit. “...” he was indefinitely hit full force. The result was a huge explosion.

“Lucario!!” Lucas shouted.

“Lucario…” Palutena teleported on the scene and witnessed her friend’s unfortunate end.

“YOU ARE THE NEXT TO DIE, CHILD!!!!” Giygas shifted focus to Lucas.

“Tch! Like hell!” Lucas’s anger boiled up.

“Your power… IT’S OVERWHELMING!!!!” Giygas sensed a large amount of psychic energy flowing from Lucas.

“PK STARSTORM!!!” Lucas used the famous PK Starstorm, but it had zero effect.

“Pathetic…” Giygas countered.

“Pathetic, he says? He just called it overwhelming! Is this asshole making fun of me?!” Lucas’s psychic energy boiled up again.

“BEHOLD!!! SYNERGISTIC DEMON BURST!!!!” Giygas copied one of Lucario’s strongest attacks, a scarlet red, navy blue, and white energy blast.

“I have to win! I have to win!” Lucas caught the attack, trying his hardest to push it back. Veins were forming around his arms.

“Lucas… he’s… he’s not going to make it,” Palutena spoke.

But she was wrong…

“Not yet…” the blonde psychic refused to quit. “Not yet… I’M NOT DONE YET!!!!! HAAAAAA!!!!” with enough force, he pushed the attack right back at Giygas.

“W-w-what is this?” Giygas sensed an unusual amount of energy coming from the blonde psychic.

Lucas had veins throughout his arms and legs and body. A golden electrical aura engulfed him. A look of violence emblezzed his face.

“Lucas?” Palutena watched on with slight fear. While she was relieved he was fine, Palutena was really worried about him.

“I made it!” Ness leaped into the fray right in front of Lucas.

“NESS?! AT LAST!” Giygas hollered at the sight of his enemy.

“N-Ness?!… g-get away!!!…” Lucas told him off.

“You’re not doing this alone, buddy,” Ness gave him a thumbs up.

“WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT!!” the Cosmic Destroyer boomed.

Ness initiated the first attack. “PK… STARSTORM!!!”

“AGAH!!!! How dare you?!” Giygas complained.

“PK STARSTORM!!!” Lucas also used PK Starstorm Omega, but it was so much stronger than the previous ones he did.

“ERGAH!!!! YOU FORGOT THAT I CAN DO THE STARSTORM TOO!!!!” Giygas used the PK Starstorm Omega. However, every meteor shower was burning red. Ness and Lucas dodged and evaded.

“PK FLASH!!!!!” Ness and Lucas shouted at the same time and used the PK Flash Omega. Giygas actually took some damage.

“DEAL WITH THIS, BRATS!!!! GOD RAGE BOMB!!!!!!!” Giygas used the God Rage Bomb move.

“Up! Now!” Ness warned Lucas. The boy took to the skies to ensure no unnecessary damage was made to the city as the bomb was aimed for them.

“HEHEHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Giygas glared devilishly. “COSMIC REIGN SOARING DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!” Giygas flooded out literal red mist energy waves, severely injuring the boys into oblivion.

“OH NO!!!” everyone was in distress.

“NESS!!” Paula shouted and started hyperventilating. Holding a personal psychic connection to Ness, this hurt her a lot.

“Paula, take a deep breath! Ness will be okay,” Peach tried to keep her calm.

“No! I have to save him!!” Paula fought back. Samus spoke through the radio.

“Tch! We’re going back to fight Giygas,” Samus instructed.

“Negative. Head back. It’s far too dangerous for any of you to engage Giygas at this time,” said Mario.

“According to our scanners, the energy of Giygas is rising at inconceivable levels. Even approaching him from a two-mile radius will crush your fighter jets from the immense pressure,” warned Bowser.

“What about the boys?” Samus objected.

“We have to try—” Mario was interrupted by Paula.

“PRAYER!! Pray to the bottom of your hearts that Ness and Lucas will win! Everybody!” Paula stated.

“Paula!... Yes!” Peach agreed.

Everyone from Melody Squad soon returned to the airport.

“I thought you were going to die!” Peach slapped Fox square in the cheek. *SLAP*

“Ow! I’m fine, honest,” Fox touched his cheek.

Peach also went to Samus and hugged her as well. “Samus! Oh, thank goodness you returned,”

Peach, of course, went to confront Wolf and Rosalina. She stomped towards them in bitter anger.

“And you two! Don’t ever scare me like that again! Especially you, Wolf! You could’ve killed yourself and Rosie!” Peach berated both of them.

“True, but it was exhilarating!” Wolf exclaimed.

“Gah! No more of your reckless behavior, okay,” Peach exclaimed right back after hugging them both.

“We promise,” Rosalina held her hand over her heart.

***

Back to the action.

Lucas and Ness were practically on the verge of their limits. Their clothes were ripped up and they had bruises all over them.

“The air is so poisonous. I can barely feel my legs. Darn it all,” Ness was weakened. But still, he smiled.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!!! COSMIC REIGN SOARING DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!” Giygas used the same move again.

Ness kicked Lucas out of the way and dealt the brute force of Cosmic Reign Soaring Destruction.

“...” Ness went down instantly. He could no longer move on.

“NESS!!” Lucas tried to help his friend.

“AHAHAHA!!!! SO IT SEEMS EVEN THE LEGENDARY NESS WAS DEFEATED IN BATTLE!!!!” Giygas roared in laughter.

“Y-you… YOU BASTARD!!!” Lucas yelled out in anguish. “I’LL KILL YOU!!”

“ERRAH!!!!” Giygas hissed. “YOU’RE WEAK… PATHETIC… INSIGNIFICANT BRAT!!!! YOU ARE WEAK!!!! REMEMBER THAT!!!! WEAK!! WEAK!! WEAK!!” he unleashed the Cosmic Reign Soaring Destruction attack for a third time.

“P… K… S-M-M-MAAASHHHH!!!!!!!”

*SMASH*

“GAOW!!!! GOD RAGE BOMB!!!!” Giygas used another God Rage Bomb. It was twice as large as the first time.

“NOT THIS TIIIIMMEEEE!!! PK… S-S-MASHHHH!!!!!” placing all his power into his fist, Lucas obliterated the God Rage Bomb.

*SMASH*

“I-I… I can’t believe it. He’s using it!! The PK Smash…” Paula muttered.

“PK Smash?” Samus raised a brow.

“PK Smash is a very deadly technique. You draw out most of your psychic powers into one part of your own body, most notably from your hand down to your smallest finger. You release that energy from that one point, which creates a shockwave of intense power,” Paula explained.

“What’s so deadly about it if it’s that strong?” Lucina asked.

“PK Smash drains your energy and body as you focus on one point in your body. According to the ancient textbooks I read, a psionic attack that requires you to release energy at only one point will cause that part of the body to swell,” Paula replied.

“Kid! Get out of there! You’ll hurt yourself! Whatever you’re doing is only going to weaken you more and you won’t be able to fight anymore!” Mario warned him over the radio.

“Thanks for the heads up! But I know what’s at stake!” Lucas snorted out some blood from his nose as he continued to evade and hit.

“No, Lucas! The PK Smash attack can kill you if you use it!” Paula stated over the radio.

“I know that. And I’m ready to use all of its power!” Lucas smirked. He stared down at his swollen right hand.

“This kid can’t be serious?!” Samus was a little surprised.

“The kid’s got guts. But he’s helluva a lot stupid too if he thinks he can do this by himself,” Snake nodded at Lucas being brave.

“Not the Lucas I know,” Peach scratched her head.

“PK...S-S-M-ASHHHHH!!!!!!” Lucas used it once more.

*SMASH*

“HMPH!! SO...” Giygas removed his attention from Lucas.

“...YOU SURVIVED THAT AFTER ALL!!” Giygas was not pleased. The Psychic Pokémon lived.

“[heavy breathing] Heh, heh heh heh heh [heavy breathing]” Mewtwo was alive. With the account of many scratches, tracts of blood, and marks all over his body, Mewtwo was alright.

“M-M-Mewtwo…” Lucas stared at the Pokémon in shock.

“God Rage Bomb!!” Giygas shot yet another God Rage Bomb aimed at Mewtwo.

Mewtwo stood at the same position and placed out two hands in front. Almost entirely, Mewtwo grabbed hold of the God Rage Bomb without any trouble. He began to struggle against it and it suddenly engulfed Mewtwo again. “GAHHHH!!!!!” Mewtwo winced out in pain.

“AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Giygas laughed.

“GAHHHH!!!!!... Just kidding,” Mewtwo changed his facial expression to a smirk. “Er, er, er, er, er, er,” Mewtwo absorbed the God Rage Bomb in seconds. The energy around him coursing through and made him stronger.

“WHA-WHA-WHA-WHAT?!?!?!” Giygas began to panic. “How are you still standing?!?! Your own psychic energy is rapidly rising!! How much of your true power have you hid from me— WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! WHAT’S HAPPENING TO ME?!?!”

It was then the impossible occurred.

Giygas’s unreadable form began to enclose. The skies were becoming brighter blue again. The red madness was being condensed. Giygas was taking shape again. “I never thought it was possible. It’s as though I can think clearly again. My mind has lost its haziness. What could have caused this?!” the Universal Cosmic Destroyer morphed into a silhouette of a towering demonic being with long ears, arms, legs, and a tail. Clad in bright white. Indeed, he had been reverted to his original form.

“Giygas…” Paula whispered.

“…Heh. It’s just as we planned,” Samus smirked. As did Bowser and Mario.

“Mama mia, I didn’t think it would work this well. We sure fooled him,” Mario nodded.

“What are you talking about? What worked?” Fox tilted his head.

“Want to fill us in?” Snake asked.

“The Phase Distorter’s true function condenses energy into a physical form. Much like turning water into ice. We made Giygas think it was meant to kill him. Once he exerted enough power, the blast from the Phase Distorter went into effect,” Bowser stated.

“…That’s… that’s unimaginable,” Lucina was astonished, as was everyone else.

“I never pictured this scenario in my existence. For what you have done to me…” Giygas felt his own skin for the first time in forever.

“Giygas… I am going to vaporize you into nothing. Say your final prayers,” Mewtwo, filled with violent intent, prepared to murder Giygas in one go.

“No… no, wait! Wait! Think of what you’re doing. I have regained my conscious soul. What does killing me bring you?” red mist leaked out of Giygas.

“Killing you will be the end of this saga!” the Pokémon’s violence swirled.

“We are kindred spirits. Don’t you see that by destroying me, a part of you dies as well?”

—the uncontrollable monster that Giygas was…

…no longer existed.

Mewtwo’s energy skyrocketed. He engulfed himself in a monsoon of dark energy.

“Kono chōshinsei no hakai-tekina eikyō o ukete kudasai. BURAKKU SAN!!!!!!!!!” | “Suffer the destructive impact of this supernova. Black Sun!!!!!!!!!” Mewtwo summoned up his penultimate move from the skies, the Black Sun, a literal supernova covered in purple electricity and packed with an insane amount of psychic energy.

“So… this is my fate… this is for the violence I inflicted upon the universe…” Giygas did nothing but float and feel the presence of the death star. The Black Sun illuminated a white glow and white sparks of power. Mewtwo fired the Black Sun at Giygas. Very slowly and precisely, the Black Sun consumed Giygas’s physical body. The ultimate supernova was visible even from space. The Black Sun exploded into perfect oblivion.

*!!!!BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!*

“NEERRGAAHHHHHhhhhhh!!!!!!!” Giygas’s presence disappeared into the darkness of the Black Sun.

At last, the World was safe again. Giygas’s army was virtually wiped out along with their now deceased Cosmic Destroyer. People came out and cheered for their survival. The Smashers glimpsed a breather for relief and cheered in victory.

CHURCH GARDENS
ST. IWATA CATHEDRAL

The resulting Dark Spiral Mega Devil Storm landed Lucario in the church’s uncut gardens. The gardens looked like an abandoned jungle temple if anything. Lucario could not move, physically and mentally. He stared at the visible sunlight with the most blank stare ever.

“I lost again…” the Aura Pokémon’s words.

He blinked slowly several times. Upon his fifth blink, he saw a robot staring down at him with curiosity. For some reason, Lucario recognized the automaton.

“You are…” before Lucario could finish his sentence, the robot scurried off into a patch of thick vines and returned with a bomb-like structure.

“—Don’t!…” Lucario said weakly, trying to get up.

The robot activated the device, revealing not a time bomb, but a small portal.

All of a sudden, a set of golden chains came out and stabbed Lucario on all fours.

“What? What is this?! RAaah!—” it was too late. Lucario was dragged into the unknown.


***

{AFTER SUNSET}
MUSHROOM HOSPITAL

Palutena brought Lucas, Ness, and Mewtwo to the hospital. They were all alive. Mewtwo had to be treated for his minor injuries. Ness sustained major bruises and had several patches on his face and bandages everywhere. Lucas’s entire right arm was bandaged up. Once they woke up, the rest of the Smashers were allowed inside the medical room.

“Ness! I thought you would never make it back!” Paula hugged Ness tightly and kissed him on the cheeks.

“I kind of overstepped my luck there,” Ness told her with a nervous smile.

Lucas looked out the window with the most unnerving look in the world.

“ARGH, NO FAIR…” he angrily thought.

“Hey, Lucas. How’s the arm doing?” Paula asked him.

“…It’s only from my right hand,” Lucas referred to his swollen hand. “Other than that, I’m fine.”

“I’m so proud of you, everyone. I hope you all get better,” Peach added.

“Ah, yes. I couldn’t agree more,” Pauline came into the room, carrying flowers and setting them for the boys.

“Pauline,” Peach said in a semi-angry tone.

“Toadstool,” Pauline returned the favor. “Oh, everyone? Can we take this outside? There’s something we adults need to discuss,” something questionable in Pauline’s tone, but as the mayor, the older Smashers followed her.

“What’s the problem? Why take us outside?” Peach harshly asked.

“Oh, nothing. I wanted to make sure I’m communicating this right,” Pauline answered. “Lemme get to the point. You’re on thin ice.”

“What do you mean, Pauline?” asked Mario, starting to get interested.

“This unexpected invasion won’t fly for the rest of the city. Do you expect them to feel okay after a whole section of their town was destroyed and a mass murderer causing millions of injuries? Not to mention hundreds of reported deaths. News goes by quickly,” Pauline went to the point.

“We didn’t realize the situation was going to get out of hand. At that moment, we were dealing with a world destroyer,” Bowser stated.

“However you want to look at it, you’re all responsible for this,” the mayor reiterated.

“We already know that,” Bowser thought in frustration.

“So here is an incentive,” Pauline added.

“What sort of incentive?” Samus was now questioning.

“Effective immediately, I will be managing the Smashers as the leader,” announced Pauline.

“You… you can’t do this!” Peach blurted. “You can’t just come into town, call yourself mayor, and expect us to follow your orders! We won’t follow you!” she added.

“I run this city as mayor under oath, and as so, I have the authority to control your actions from here on out,” said Pauline.

“Not necessarily,” Bowser told her. Pauline raised a brow. Mario presented his girlfriend with a section of the Smashing Constitution.

“According to the Constitution, the Smashers Heroes Initiative is an independent extra-governmental military, counter-terrorism and intelligence agency, and espionage organization that’s tasked with maintaining global security and peace,” Mario read off.

“In the simplest terms, we can’t be spearheaded or overruled by any local or national government. Independent, that’s the keyword. Sorry Mayor, but we can’t be touched by you,” said Samus.

“Then, I will have no choice but to have the Smash Tower shut down,” Pauline slyly threatened.

“You also can’t touch our property, such as our facilities or places of work. It’s off limits to local, state, and national governing bodies,” Samus added.

“Very… well then. I will leave the cleanup to you folks,” Pauline sucked her teeth and left the medical bay.

“Alright, everyone. Get some rest. We did great out there,” told Bowser. The Smashers departed from the medical bay, allowing for the psychics to rest.

“Hey Peach, you got a sec?” Samus told her.

“Sure. Why?” Peach had a second.

“What’s with you and Pauline? I mean, that hasn’t been fully explained to me though,” Samus inquired.

“...She used to be Mario’s girlfriend,” Peach blurted out.

“...Oh?” Samus was interested in hearing this.

“Okay, she doesn’t like me and still doesn’t to this day because she thinks I took Mario from her. First off, they broke up with each other, and then Mario chose me. Secondly, me and Mario broke up a year ago, so I don’t get why she’s still holding a grudge,” Peach stated.

“I never would’ve guessed that,” Samus scratched her head.

“No, of course, you didn’t because you’ve been avoiding me all this time!” Peach was about to tear up.

“Argh, not that I do it on purpose, but you’re right. It’s true I haven’t been around to help you every once and while. I’m sorry, sis. I was too focused on myself and the team than looking out for you. I should’ve known Pauline was no good,” Samus admitted.

“What do we do now?” Peach asked.

“Right now, we cool our heels. Try to calm down,” Samus stated. Peach nodded and decided to leave for home with the rest of her friends.

Palutena and Paula stayed with the three hospitalized psychics.

“What you did to save Lucas was so brave, Ness-kun. I’m so lucky to have you as my boyfriend,” Paula caressed Ness’s head. He smiled as he slept.

Palutena felt Lucas’s forehead. “You’re burning up. Are you going to be okay?”

“Urgh… I’m fine. Stop touching my head,” Lucas jerked his head, in a rare outburst.

Palutena flinched. “I’m relieved you’re safe, but please don’t do anything rash like that again.”

“…” Lucas did not respond. Rather, he stared at the goddess. Just a stare. A soulless one at that.

“Lucas?” Palutena’s spine chilled.

Mewtwo stood out on the hospital’s balcony, pondering.

“What have I done? When I killed Giygas, it felt as if I killed myself. It is unlike me to show remorse. What I did… was it wrong of me?” he inherited a rare form of regret.

A disturbance was brewing. Things were going to intensify from this point on.
