Sonic: Brawl

Chapter 17

--

Ganondorf smirked at the three heroes glaring at him. "Well? Are you going to stand there, or make your move?" He said. Lucario glanced at Sonic. "I don't know if this is a good idea, Sonic. If he thinks he can take us ALL on at once, he's either crazy or has a trick up his sleeve." He said. Sonic grinned. "Ah, don't worry. We can take him, tricks or no tricks." Lucario sighed. "If you say so…" "It is time for me to reclaim what is rightfully mine!" Meta cried, charging at Ganondorf. Ganon just stood there smirking. Meta Knight slashed his sword at Ganondorf…And it went right through. "What the-?!" Meta Knight said in surprise. Ganondorf laughed. "It's a hologram, genius." Suddenly hundreds of other Ganondorf's began popping into existence. "One of us is the real one. Can you figure out who's real…Or will you lose your life?" They said in unison. All of them rushed forward. They each aimed punches and kicks at the heroes, who desperately tried to avoid the barrage of attacks. "There's too many of them!" Lucario cried. Sonic didn't answer, he just kept pounding away at the holograms. But every time one of the holograms was defeated, two more took its place. It was a never ending cycle, and it looked like the heroes were trapped.

"Here it is. The hangar." R.O.B announced to G&W. The 2-d hero looked around. "Excellent. Now let us board a craft and escape this place." He beeped. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that." A voice said. If R.O.B wasn't a robot, his eyes would have widened. A huge glove floated down from the ceiling. "YOU!" R.O.B said. "What're YOU doing here?! You aren't supposed to leave Subspace!" The glove laughed. "The Master gave me permission, just this once. He knew you were a traitor, and he knew the second you made your move. He sent me to deal with you." "Move aside, foolish glove!" R.O.B snapped. "I'm afraid I won't be doing that." Chuckled the glove. "Then, Master Hand, we'll have to settle this the hard way." R.O.B said. "With a fight." "Bring it, pipsqueak." Master Hand said. "C'mon, Game & Watch! Let's get him!" "Affirmative!" Responded the 2-D man. They charged forward. Master Hand simply floated up, and they ran underneath him. He then slammed himself down on the floor, a body slam of sorts, smashing the two heroes. "ACK!" R.O.B cried. "Ouch." G&W said. The 2-D warrior leaped up. Master Hand made a gun with his fingers, and suddenly fired three lasers. G&W pulled out a bucket, and the lasers went in. G&W hurled the oil that had formed in the bucket, saying, "Oil Panic." The searing hot oil landed on Master Hand. "ARRRRGH!" He screamed in pain. "Nice job, Game & Watch!" R.O.B said. "No big deal." Mr. Game & Watch replied in his usual monotone. Master Hand suddenly flew upwards like a rocket, then dove down, swooping towards them. Just as he was about to collide with R.O.B, the robot shouted, "ARM ROTOR!" Spinning his arms incredibly fast, he stopped Master Hand and flung him backwards. The flying hand crashed into the wall of the Halberd, which gave a lurch under his weight.

The ship suddenly lurched, knocking the heroes over. "What the heck was that?!" Sonic said. "I do not know. But I do not think it can be good." Meta Knight stated. "Quickly, the Ganondorf's are stunned. We must figure out which one is the real one! Focus hard, my friends!" Lucario nodded. Now that he had the chance, he used his aura powers. None of the holograms had aura's, because they were fake. Finally, he spotted one with a bright red aura. The Pokemon quickly charged up an Aura Sphere, then leapt into the air. "AURA SPHERE!" He shouted, firing the projectile attack at the real Ganondorf. Ganon realized they had discovered him just as it was too late. The attack hit him in the head, and sent him flying into the hologram projector, breaking it. All the fake Ganondorf's faded from existence. The Warlock scowled. "I'll make you pay!" He shouted, charging. Suddenly he was rammed in the chest by Sonic's spin dash. "Yeahhhhhhhh, I don't think so." The hedgehog said. Ganondorf raised his fist for a Warlock Punch, when suddenly he stopped. Three spears suddenly became embedded in the heroes backs, knocking them out. Ganondorf pushed Sonic off of him and got up. "You could've come earlier, you know." Ganondorf growled. His rescuer, a familiar looking black and red hedgehog, smirked. "What can I say, I love the drama. Come, it's time for us to make our escape." The hedgehog turned and strolled down the hall. Ganon glared after him for a moment before following.

The three fighters were glaring each other down. Or rather, they would have been, if G&W and Master Hand HAD eyes. Master Hand panted from exhaustion. R.O.B and G&W weren't…But of course, that was because they didn't have lungs. "You think you've beaten me, I suppose?" Master Hand suddenly said, breaking the silence. "No. I KNOW I've beaten you." R.O.B said. Master Hand laughed. "You are a fool, R.O.B. You dare betray the Subspace Army. You dare attack one of its most loyal and trusted generals. And worst of all, you dare defy the Master. These crimes alone call for immediate execution. And I INTEND to kill you." "Then I suppose this fights still on." R.O.B said. He looked and G&W. "You rest. I can finish him off." The robot said. G&W nodded. Master Hand flew up high, with a loud battle cry. R.O.B began charging up a large amount of energy. Master Hand dove downward. "Come on…" R.O.B whispered. Master Hand was getting close. "Come on…" R.O.B whispered, a bit more frantically. Master Hand was really close now. "Just a few more seconds…" R.O.B whispered in fear. Just as Master Hand was about to collide with R.O.B and destroy him, R.O.B unleashed the attack he'd been charging. "FULL POWER ROBO BEAM!" R.O.B cried, firing a powerful laser at Master Hand from Point-blank range. "AAAAAAAH!" Screamed the hand. It floated backwards, twitching in pain and twisting around, then it landed on the floor with a loud thud. It was defeated. "Quick, G&W!" R.O.B said. The two made a dash for an Arwing not far off. Just as they hopped in, Master Hand started to get up. "GO, GO, GO!" R.O.B yelled at the ship. The Hand started floating towards them, and then the ship took off. Master Hand watched them fly off. Then, silently, he vanished.

Next: The Halberd's been reclaimed and the heroes have a new ally. But the fleeing Shadow and Ganondorf cause a problem or two for the heroes…
