[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption: Information Thread

Greetings. This is the information thread for A State of Corruption. All write-ups will go here for reference. This post will be updated to contain the opening write-up shortly.

Darkness.

Silence.

In the deep depths of space, there is no light. There are no sounds. It is an eerie sort of quiet, a nothingness that chills to the bone and fills one with despair. An eternity could be spent in such a state without interaction with any other living being.

And it this feeling of emptiness, which the Hunter had been so accustomed to in short durations, that now occupied every fiber of her being. That is, until it began.

Suddenly, blinding light.

A surge of warmth. Power. Life. Existence.

But despite the surge of energy, the Hunter could not shake the feeling of a shadow, hovering over her mind and watching her thoughts. It was ever present, and seemed imposing until it was concentrated upon, after which it would dissipate and reform in another spot. But the Hunter did not mind the Presence, because the Presence told her not to mind it. The Presence was what gave her life, and strength, and the Hunter liked such familiar feelings, so long deprived of them.

The Hunter slowly opened her eyes, which glowed an unnatural red.

All was blurry at first, and she saw only a large silhouette against the bright light, towering over her.

“BWAHAHAHAHAR!”

A STATE OF CORRUPTION

Note: All write-ups (including the one above) have music links embedded in the text. I encourage you to click them to make the experience more immersive.

Welcome, everyone. This is the third large game in my Council of Villains series, entitled “A State of Corruption”.

I’m not going to give too many details about the game; a large part of it is you figuring it out as you go along. You might think of this game as something of a cross between Sigurd’s Star Wars and TinCow’s Rubicon, but it’s more nuanced than that. I mention Sigurd’s Star Wars and not ATPG’s sequel to the game, because there is a power-up system, but it is much more simplified and nowhere near as complicated as Fall of the Order’s.

Basically, you can think of there being two towns, two mafias, and perhaps a few who don’t fit into any of those categories. And everyone will have the ability to gain powers both offensive and defensive- though it is never guaranteed.

As for the story, I won’t say a word on what’s come. It will all become clear in time. However, since the last Council of Villains game was so long ago, I’ve prepared a refresher in the form of a flowchart for the events of the past few games:

If you want the full story, I encourage you to take a look at the game threads themselves:

The Council of Villains
The Missing Link
The Koopa Troop

The rules are fairly simple; standard affair for mafia games.
-During the day, you vote for someone to be lynched, using the format Vote: Chaotix. If you want to change your vote, use Unvote: Chaotix first or else your original vote will be the one counted.
-You may NOT edit your vote out of a post. You may edit a post with a vote in it so long as the edit does not affect the vote.
-You may Vote: Abstain to show you are present but wish to refrain from voting.
-Vote: No Lynch is NOT allowed.
-Dead players can participate, but may NOT vote or reveal previous night actions or sensitive information they knew before their death.
-Private communications are allowed.
-Quicktopics, chatrooms, etc. are NOT allowed unless given express permission by the host.
-Dead players cannot communicate privately unless given express permission by the host.
-You may quote PMs from other players, as they can be forged. You may not post screenshots, chatlogs, etc.
-You may NOT quote PMs from the host or your role PM, unless given express permission by the host.
-You must PM all night actions to the host personally.
-If you have multiple defenses, you must choose one and PM that to the host; otherwise your defense will be chosen randomly.
-Clarifications to the rules will be posted by the host if perceived to be unclear. If you are unsure or think I might have missed something, please don’t be afraid to ask questions!

I am looking for at least 35 players to sign up. I would prefer to have 40 to 45 if possible. The game will most likely begin after the end of Star Wars: Fall of the Order. Let’s go!

Night 0, Post #89:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 0

The Galactic Federation Starship Olympus coasted through space at a leisurely pace. It was headed for a planet controlled by the Space Pirates, who had recently resurged, probably due to the Council of Villains event and the empowering of their leader, Ridley, that came with it. The spacecraft was not moving quickly, however, because the forces on board were still being trained.

The Inter-dimensional Federation of Heroes, or IDFH, had established something of an uneasy alliance with the GF Marines. With a common foe in Ridley, both sides saw the wisdom in an alliance, but so far it had not worked out especially well. The heroes viewed the GF forces as grunts and common troopers, and mostly useless in a fight- and the marines were offended that the heroes would dare to insult them on their own ship. In fact, all the IDFH forces in Dimension 003 Metroid were stationed on the GFS Olympus, except for two who had gone missing a few months previously. And then there was the matter of the GF hiring several bounty hunters to fight for them, many of them former criminals.

It was not the best of situations. And it would soon devolve into something far worse.

A dot appeared on the Olympus’s radar screen. It was a friendly dot, requesting permission to dock. The ship was scanned and immediately recognized as the renowned bounty hunter Samus’s Gunship. The Fleet Admiral Castor Dane was notified and it was granted permission to dock, as was usually the case.

Minutes later, there was chaos. A siren began blaring, red lights came up. A messenger ran immediately to Admiral Dane’s room, shouting:

“Sir! The docking bay is under assault! The entire sector has been wiped out!”

Dane looked concerned and shocked, but not fearful.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“By whom? How is it possible we didn’t detect them coming?”

“I’m not sure, our cameras have been hacked and disabled by some sort of unknown technology. But we’ve received no word from Samus Aran since then, either. She could be harmed or even killed!”

“Perhaps… but there may be a more obvious explanation than that. Send a squad down to find any hostiles and search for survivors.”

“Yes, sir!”

The messenger hurried off, and Admiral Dane scratched his chin.

“So it begins…”

Not twenty minutes had passed before the messenger returned. Dane expected news of the docking bay attack, but this was not it.

“Sir! The medical wing has been breached!”

This time, Dane had more of a face that implied he was about to say “are you kidding me?” It only flashed for a moment, but he kept his cool.

“Details! What’s going on?”

“There are several survivors who managed to escape. They said that there wasn’t even a spacecraft. Just three shadowy figures, and they were all using… using…”

“Using what? Spit it out, man!”

“Phazon! They attacked us with Phazon!”

“That could only mean…”

“They think it’s the Dark Hunter!”

Dane looked worried now. He was about to dismiss the messenger, but was interrupted by Aurora Unit 242, the organic supercomputer that ran the ship.

“Admiral Dane, I believe you should be seeing this.”

A holo-screen stretched across the wall. On it, what appeared to be a large, metallic dragon was rocketing towards them through space. All of a sudden, a massive crash rocked the entire ship, and the lights dimmed for a moment.

“What’s going on, 242?”

"The cargo bay has been penetrated and the engines have been destroyed. The Olympus has been rendered incapable of moving."

“We’re stranded… out in Pirate Space.”

Night 0 Continued, Post #90:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Dane had called for everyone still living on board the ship to meet in the main assembly room.

The numbers of the GF forces and the IDFH forces were about equal, and neither group seemed happy about the other’s presence. Captain Falcon, in charge of the IDFH forces on board the Olympus, was at the center. Dane was not present.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“Now listen up! As you have probably guessed, there are some among us who are not as they seem! They are intruders on this vessel, and they are almost certainly villains. They’re here to kill us all, and we need to find them before they do that.”

A voice shouted from the group of GF marines:

“They’re only here to kill you! Why should we have to be subject to this treatment? If you weren’t on our ship, this never would have happened!”

“I do not believe that the intruders are only here for the IDFH. Word has it that Dark Samus is on board. She has never been on good terms with the Galactic Federation. Further, we have word that Samus, who is both a GF bounty hunter and an IDFH hero, is on board and has gone missing. The GF most certainly has a reason to be involved here.”

For the most part, both groups were quieted. Falcon continued.

“We need to vote on who we believe is most likely to be an intruder. Then the only method to know for sure if they are… is death. I will tally the votes.”

The marines were in an uproar.

“What’s to say you won’t skew the tally in the IDFH ‘s favor, huh? Out to protect your own, I’m sure!”

The IDFH were now starting to take offense. It seemed a fight would begin if Falcon didn’t do something.

“Fine! Admiral Dane will tally the votes today. I will take care of it tomorrow. We will switch off every day. That way, it will be fair. Is that acceptable?”

Both sides seemed to come to an uneasy agreement, for now.

“Good. Then it’s time to vote. Show me your moves!”

And so began the first day of A State of Corruption.

----------------------------

The role PMs for all mafia and other essential characters have been sent out. I am still working on the rest and will have those out as soon as possible.

That said, everyone who doesn't have a role PM yet is a basic townie.

I am starting the first round. Anybody can vote, even if you don't have your role PM yet. I will only start counting the 24 hours when I have sent out the last role PM, though.

Day 1

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

When the votes were finished on the first day, as promised Admiral Dane stood up and tallied them, then gave the result.

“It seems we have a tied vote between two members of this crew.”

Admiral Dane then looked a bit puzzled, as if he didn’t know what to do next.

“Hrmm… I didn’t expect there to be a tie. There’s no protocol for what happens after a tie.”

The inhabitants of the GFS Olympus now looked worried. What would Admiral Dane do?

“I think that, since you have named me as director of this process, you must yield to my judgment on this matter. I have not yet decided what must follow; you must allow me time to think. When I have decided, I will announce the procedure and it shall be executed.”

The GF crew looked satisfied with this answer, while the IDFH fighters were less than pleased. There was no telling what Dane’s policy toward the IDFH could be, nor what how this would affect his decision.

Day 1 Continued

Admiral Dane sat and puzzled over this issue of the tie for a rather frustratingly long time. By the time he had made his decision, nobody really cared what was going to happen, and everyone was tired and grumpy.

There were two fighters who remained incredibly nervous due to their current status, however.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...essorEGadd.jpg https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../DiddyKong.jpg

“ATTENTION! I have made my decision. It appears to me that the fairest settlement of this issue is to put both suspects to death!”

There was much clamor amongst the crew, now. Both of them? On the first day?

“Diddy Kong and Professor E. Gadd. You are hereby found guilty of treason towards the GFS Olympus and her crew, and for that crime the only punishment is death. What do you have to say for yourselves?”

The Professor looked resigned to his fate. He looked at the floor.

“Well, I am getting old. I suppose my time was going to come eventually, so here is not a bad place. If it helps you to find the real culprit.”

Diddy Kong, however, being a monkey, could not speak very well. The expression on his face, however revealed everything. Diddy Kong was MAD. He began screaming and pounding the floor with his fists. Suddenly he ran towards the Professor and jumped on his head, and proceeded to claw at his face. The Professor screamed in pain.

“Somebody stop that monkey!”

But it was too late. Diddy Kong was now standing behind E. Gadd and using him as a shield, while holding him by the neck and holding a gun to his head. A Peanut Popgun, in fact. The monkey screeched something that everyone took to mean, “Nobody move or I’ll shoot!”

Admiral Dane was not amused by the monkey’s antics.

“You are aware that I have ordered both of you to die? You just made my job easier.”

And with that, he pulled out a large Beam Cannon and fired it at the two unlucky heroes. Diddy Kong screamed and jumped out of the way, but the Professor was annihilated by the blast. Diddy Kong was now flying around the room in his Rocketbarrel Jet-Pack, with both Peanut Popguns unholstered. He rained down a barrage of deadly legumes at the crew of the Olympus. Diddy Kong may not have been the one they were looking for, but he wasn’t going down without a fight.

Admiral Dane’s usual grimace held fast to his face. In a surprised display of force, he jumped high into the air and delivered a kick, full force, into Diddy’s face. The frenzied monkey rocketed straight into a wall, and the barrel exploded, leaving him in a crumpled heap of burning fur.

Dane checked the body, and confirmed that all vital signs had terminated. The body of Diddy Kong and what was left of Professor E. Gadd were placed in the Quarantine Bay.

“That concludes today’s business. I hope that these two were the culprits we were looking for, but personally I doubt it. They looked innocent, but highly concerned for their own survival. Everybody should proceed to their night watch positions.”

Night 1, Post #318:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 1

In space, it is impossible to tell when the day ends and night begins, because neither exists. The GF had long been using a standardized 24 hour clock to keep time while on a spaceship. It was hard to get used to, and sometimes soldiers would wander the ship, bored, if they were not tired. Tonight, some would be wandering around for other reasons…

In the central control chamber, Aurora Unit 242 was still active. Being essentially a supercomputer with artificial intelligence, she did not need sleep. 242 was currently watching the ship through the surveillance cameras that were still working, hoping to catch the intruders that way. As she was essential to the maintenance of the GFS Olympus, she was heavily guarded outside the entrance.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...oraUnit242.png

The air ducts, however, were not guarded. A small figure dropped out of the air duct and onto the floor of the central control chamber, unnoticed by the Aurora Unit. It made some sort of a signal with its hands, and suddenly the liquid in the tank 242 was suspended in froze. 242’s major functions were stalled, and the figure slipped away into the shadows.

--------------------------------------------------

The bounty hunter Trace was moving through the narrow passageways of the Olympus, quickly and alertly. He knew he would be in danger, and knew that if he went to sleep, as was suggested of him, he might not wake up the next day. Trace figured the best defense was to be constantly on the move.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Trace.png

He was moving down one narrow corridor when he saw what appeared to be a large orange ball, rolling straight towards him. Curious, he stopped, and aimed his weapon directly at the ball. The ball rolled straight up to him and stopped.

Suddenly, and before he could react, the ball transformed into a figure Trace recognized instantly, and his body shook with fear. The Hunter bashed Trace in the head with her arm cannon, and Trace recoiled, starting to run away. He activated his cloaking device and sprinted towards the end of the hallway, hoping to escape.

The Hunter’s arm cannon began glowing with a pure, white light. She then pointed it forward, and released a charged beam that traveled incredibly fast, striking Trace in the back and disabling his cloaking device. Trace fell to the floor, unable to move due to the painful, burning sensation in his back. The Hunter walked up to his body, stepping on it, and pointed her arm cannon at his head. The Hunter fired.

-------------------------------------------------------

The engine room was mostly quiet, except for one GF Mechanic who was still awake, trying to get it working again. As long as the engines were down, the Olympus was stranded in Pirate space, and therefore in even more danger than it already was. The Mechanic was hoping to get a head start.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...GFMechanic.png

A small creature dropped from the ceiling onto the top of the piece of machinery the Mechanic was working on, making a noise as it landed. Its eyes glowed an unnatural blue color. The Mechanic looked up, seeing the creature, and became alarmed. He tried to get up and run away, but as soon as he made a move, electricity burst from the creature and into the machinery, moving through it and into the wrench that the Mechanic was holding, finally traveling through his body. The small creature continued to electrocute the Mechanic until he was burnt to a crisp, then bounded off through the engine room gleefully.

-------------------------------------------------------

A shadowy figure walked through the hallways of the guests’ quarters, its heels making a distinctive sound as they struck the metal underneath them. Suddenly it stopped walking, apparently finding the door it was looking for, and opened it silently.

Inside, sleeping in the bed, was a young man clad in white, with the wings of an angel.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...uption/Pit.jpg

The shadowy figure walked up to his bed, waited contemplatively for a moment, then forcefully seized him by the throat and lifted him into the air. He woke up with a jolt, and was instilled with fear by the figure’s red eyes, glowing with malice.

“Time’s up, Kid Icarus. You flew too close to the sun.”

Pit struggled, but could not break his captor’s grip. Its hand was exceedingly cold to the touch, and a chill rapidly spread through his body, until frost formed on his skin. Finally a look of sheer horror fell over his face as he recognized his killer. The same look remained frozen on his face.

--------------------------------------------------------

Back in the central control room, Aurora Unit 242 was still unable to perform any sort of action or call for help. She was conscious, but paralyzed in her frozen tank.

Suddenly, the doors were blasted open with a loud explosion. 242 could see a dead GF soldier lying by the doorway. Through the doorway walked a figure clad in armor of midnight blue. A dark aura surrounded her, and it was palpable even to the Aurora Unit.

The Dark Hunter lifted its arm cannon. Dark energy began swirling around at its tip as she charged up the beam. 242, frozen, could do nothing to defend herself. The Dark Hunter pointed its gun directly at the Aurora Unit and fired.

The blast of shadowy energy shattered the glass canister and the ice inside of it. The Aurora Unit, with nothing to suspend it, fell to the floor in a large crash, the wires connecting it to the system snapping and sparking. The Dark Hunter’s arm cannon reconfigured itself and fired a missile at 242, and she exploded into fragments of metal, circuitry, and organic tissue.

In the place where Aurora Unit 242 was floating was a small, glowing canister, marked with a symbol. The Dark Hunter walked up to it and touched it. It disappeared, and the Dark Hunter glowed with an unholy light.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../ScanVisor.gif

With a new power at her fingertips, the Dark Hunter left the room, pleased.

Day 2

It had been another long day on the GFS Olympus. There was much arguing and accusation, and the crew had become even more factionalized between the GF and the IDFH. But in the end, the voting had come to a clear resolution. This time Captain Falcon stepped forward to tally the votes.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

When he had finished, a grimace crossed his face. He turned to the assembled crew to read the result.

“Today, you have decided that the impostor among is… the IDFH warrior Isaac, of the Golden Sun dimension. He is accused of being, in reality, the missing IDFH hero Cloud Strife, corrupted by the influence of the Dark Hunter.”

Isaac stepped forward solemnly and silently. The IDFH was in an uproar. They began shouting and protesting vigorously against the accusations against one of their own.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Isaac.jpg

“WHAT? Just because he looks like Cloud, now he’s accused of BEING Cloud? This is ridiculous!”

Captain Falcon tried in earnest to calm down his own comrades.

“Quiet! A vote is a vote. This is what we agreed to do. We did it for great justice!”

He then turned to the suspect.

“Now, Isaac. What do you have to say for yourself?”

“…”

“Come on! Defend yourself. Show me your case!”

“…”

Captain Falcon soon realized that Isaac was one of those silent RPG heroes and really didn’t speak a whole lot. He was at a loss for what to do… perhaps this was an admission by non-denial.

“Alright then. Here’s what we’re going to do. I want Isaac locked up in the Quarantine Bay for the rest of this trip.”

Suddenly, a pale-faced GF officer dressed in a lab coat stood up.

“I… uhhh… I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”

Falcon gave the Quarantine Officer a piercing glare from behind his visor.

“That wasn’t a question. Do it now.”

The GF Quarantine Officer and a few marines brought Isaac down to the Quarantine Bay, near the bottom hull of the ship. The Officer dismissed the soldiers before they could see the blue glow emanating from behind the cold steel door. The Officer unlocked and opened the door, and Isaac walked willingly inside. Then the door was carefully locked and sealed behind him.

The Quarantine Officer proceeded to the Observation room, where he was provided a full view of the quarantined chamber through a large, ten inch thick glass window.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ineOfficer.png

Inside the chamber stood Isaac, and he was surrounded on all sides by a massive quantity of pure Phazon ore. This was what he had been so reluctant to place Isaac in quarantine for.

Secretly, GF High Command had stored away tons of Phazon ore on the Olympus, for the purpose of experimentation and development of new bioweapons. The IDFH was completely unaware of the presence of such material, and most GF officials did not even know of its existence. If the IDFH found out about it, they would no doubt want it for themselves.

The Quarantine Officer continued to watch Isaac intently, and soon he began to notice a change in his usually calm demeanor. He began to twitch, and it soon became clear that the massive amount of Phazon around him made it difficult to mask his true feelings. The disguise faded away from Isaac and his true identity was revealed.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...udStrife-1.jpg

Cloud Strife, corrupted by the Phazon, was now trying absorb it all for himself. Frantic, the Quarantine Officer sent security mechs into the chamber to neutralize him, but he destroyed them all with a quick slash from his massive Buster Sword. Cloud then looked straight at the officer with a wicked grin on his face.

He shot at high speed straight through the plate glass, and proceeded to impale the Officer on his sword, cackling maniacally as he did so. But Cloud did not manage to kill the Officer before he pressed the red emergency button. Sirens were already blaring, and within seconds Captain Falcon and the majority of the crew had arrived, but were cautious of getting too close.

Falcon marched right up to Cloud, who swung his blade viciously. The Captain managed to dodge the first two swings, and then caught the blade in his hands on the third. He wrenched the Buster Sword out of Cloud’s grip and tossed it to the side, proceeding to bury Cloud in a flurry of punches. While Cloud was stunned from the attack, he brought back his fist in preparation for another attack.

“FALCON…”

Flames surrounded the Captain, and his fist shot forward.

“PAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUNNNNCCHHH!”

The Corrupted warrior was disintegrated into raw Phazon just from the power of the attack.

Captain Falcon looked back at his IDFH warriors in triumph.

“Awww yeah! We got one of them!”

But the IDFH was in staring in awe at the glowing blue mass behind him.

Night 2

As the crew proceeded to their night-time stations, their minds were full of memories from the previous day. The GF marines and bounty hunters were pleased that they were one step closer to their mission of ridding the GFS Olympus of hostiles like the followers the Dark Hunter. The IDFH warriors were in good spirits as well… though they couldn’t get this mysterious Phazon substance out of their minds. The radioactive glowing blue stuff was capable of bestowing incredible power on those who wielded it, but could also have terrible side effects. And again, tonight, there were some who wandered the deck.

One such wanderer was Rundas, the bounty hunter.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Rundas.png

He was confident in his abilities as a hunter- especially his super-cool ice powers- but also smart enough to keep a plan of safe action. Rundas believed he would be safest if he was on the move. As he proceeded down a corridor, he heard the very distinct sound of heels striking the metal deck behind him.

Quickly he tried to spin around, but he was stopped by two delicate arms thrown over his shoulders.

“Easy there. No need to be cold with me, hunter.”

Slowly the arms turned him around and brought him face to face with his captor. She had beautiful red eyes, and although Rundas did not recognize her face in the darkness, he felt that it was familiar; as if he had seen that face in a picture somewhere. The bounty hunter was quickly entranced.

“Now just relax and feel the warmth of my touch.”

She kissed Rundas, and he felt a tingling sensation where her lips touched his face. She was not just warm; heat spread from her lips to his whole body, beginning to melt the icy armor he was encased in. The magnitude of the heat increased until she was burning hot to the touch, and at this point Rundas realized he was in danger and tore himself away.

He didn’t get far. Furious, his attacker launched twin fireballs at him, and he roared in agony as the flames scorched his skin, used to sub-zero temperatures. With a final blast of flame, Rundas was knocked to the ground. As he burned to death, his last sight would be that mysterious, entrancing face.

---------------------------------------------

Commander Shepard stood alone in the darkness. She had decided that the corrupted hunters would most likely revisit areas they had previously been to. Believing she was more than a match for either of them with her superior combat skills, she had ventured into the wrecked Medical Bay area, which had been plunged into darkness since it lost power during the attack.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ShepardFem.jpg

Shepard was at a disadvantage, though, for she didn’t have exceptional night vision, nor did she have a weapon that blended in with the darkness.

The Dark Hunter did.

The Commander was caught completely unaware and blasted off her feet by a missile composed of dark energy. As she got back up, gun at the ready, she saw the armor suit of the Dark Hunter, glowing blue as she menacingly approached Shepard.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../DarkSamus.jpg

Shepard fired at her target, but the heavy armor-piercing bullets just bounced off this special armor. The Dark Hunter picked Shepard up with one hand and flung her to the side, where she crashed into a medical table.

The Dark Hunter concentrated and charged up one final blast of dark energy in her arm cannon, unbeknownst to Shepard. When the Commander sprung up, ready for a counterattack, the attack struck her right in the chest, destroying the rest of her life force. The Dark Hunter left, satisfied.

---------------------------------------------------

Tonight, the Hunter headed into the Mess Hall. Inside was a lone GF Trooper; apparently he had got up for a midnight snack.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

The missile she fired missed narrowly and struck the table he was sitting at, blowing it to bits and launching him against the far wall. The trooper was quick to get up, though, and had his machine gun trained on the fast-moving Hunter almost immediately.

The Hunter began firing blasts of light energy at the Trooper, who somehow managed to dive, roll, and do whatever was necessary to dodge these attacks. As soon as he saw an opening, the GF Trooper returned fire.

Several blasts of Phazon struck the Hunter’s armor, draining at her energy. She was surprised for a moment; then she understood. This was not just any Trooper. The Hunter was dealing with an elite, a GF PED Marine. The Phazon Enhancement Device on his back allowed him to fire ammunition charged with deadly Phazon.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...FPEDMarine.jpg

However, the Hunter was not fazed. She took more care in dodging the Marine’s attacks, and charged a beam of concentrated light energy in her arm cannon. Finally seeing her chance, she jumped in the air and fired the beam, which traveled extremely fast and struck the Marine, simultaneously blinding and incinerating him.

The Hunter left his charred corpse in the stew pot, boiling for tomorrow’s breakfast.

------------------------------------------------------------

A small yellow creature with glowing blue eyes scampered through the air duct system, seemingly randomly. However, as it passed one exit, its ears perked up and it stopped. Looking through the metal grating in the ceiling, it saw its target below.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Noxus.png

Noxus, the Vozon bounty hunter, lay sleeping in bed. Like Rundas, he had a tendency to use frigid weaponry on the job. Unlike Rundas, he was not so much concerned that he would be attacked, and so was not wandering the halls. However, it appeared neither his nor Rundas’s strategies were terribly useful for avoiding trouble.

The small creature kicked out the grating and it landed squarely on Noxus’s face, jolting him awake. He was confused and groggy, and the creature used this to its utmost advantage. The grating having fallen off of Noxus, the creature dropped through the vent opening and landed carefully on Noxus’s head. The perturbed bounty hunter flailed around wildly as he tried to throw off the creature.

“CHUUUUUUUUU!”

The small creature released a powerful current of electricity from its body and into that of Noxus, electrocuting him. It continued to hold the current open until it could no longer sense Noxus’s pulse.

After having placed Noxus into a more permanent sleep, the creature playfully scampered out of the room and through the ship.

-----------------------------------------------------

Jill Valentine walked cautiously through the halls, gun at the ready and trying to make as little noise as possible. She was skilled at survival in a situation such as this, but although having been in many extraordinary circumstances, they were never quite like this. Zombies? Yes. Infected, deranged humans? Sure. Intelligent, dangerous, and deadly bounty hunters? Not quite.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...lValentine.jpg

She continued navigating the halls, which became darker and darker as she progressed further into the Cargo Bay. Finally, the corridor opened up into a large room, which was lit dimly along the walls. The ceilings were high, however, and she could not see them through the darkness.

Suddenly, she heard a deafening screech, which sounded almost like some sort of animal’s roar. A massive, shadowy figure glided close to the ceiling, from the left to the right. To her right, a huge fireball exploded, throwing her to the ground from the force of it.

Jill, still on the floor, raised her hand to return fire, when suddenly another figure appeared right in front of her. It was a massive, muscled humanoid, with his back to her, holding his arms outstretched as if to stop whatever was lurking in the shadows.

She tried to figure out who this mysterious protector was, but his chiseled figure was reduced to a silhouette as fireballs exploded in front of him, seemingly stopped by some sort of imperceptible force field. The screeching of the creature became more and more frustrated, until eventually the fireballs stopped coming and it seemed to leave. In the blink of an eye, the protector had disappeared as well, without so much as a word.

Jill returned hurriedly to her quarters, shaken by the attack.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 3

The voting over the past day had been long and arduous. Finally it came to a closure, however, with a narrow lead on one candidate, and Admiral Dane returned to the assembly chamber to tally the votes.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“Today, the crew member who has been found guilty is Travis Touchdown, warrior of the IDFH. Please step up to make your defense.”

Travis looked surprised and displeased at this turn of events.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...sTouchdown.jpg

“Man, this spaceship sucks! I thought they were supposed to be cool, but apparently these days you can’t get on a spaceship without having the engines blow out, the AI die, the quarters infiltrated by a load of wackos trying to kill everyone, and the quarantine bay filled with radioactive material.”

Admiral Dane looked sternly at Travis.

“We believe you to be responsible for these tragic incidents. How do you plead?”

Travis ignored Dane and continued on his rant.

“And now, the worst part of all, the crew of the Good Ship Lollipop has taken a vote and decided that it would be nice if I died! This is absolutely ridiculous! What happened to democracy? I thought we were fighting for freedom and stuff!”

“This HAS been a democratic process. We VOTED. Now, I must ask you again. How do you plead, Travis Touchdown?”

“Me? Plead? I’m not going to plead at all. In fact, you’re the ones who are going to be pleading! For your lives!”

The crew of the GFS Olympus stared at Travis.

“Because, I’m going to kill you first. You’re going to be pleading for your lives because I’m going to kill you all. Get it?”

The crew continued to stare at Travis, and was getting rather annoyed. Sensing that the timing was right, Travis whipped out his prototype lightsaber and powered it on. He dared anyone to challenge him.

Admiral Dane approached Travis, readying his fists. They were covered in heavy metal gloves, presumably powered with some sort of strength-boosting technology. His boots had the same metallic sheen. Travis swung his lightsaber, but the Admiral blocked the blow with his gloves. As the lightsaber was held in place, Dane swung his leg up and kicked Travis in the face.

The blow sent the young assassin flying into the air, and he landed hard on his back. His sunglasses were knocked off, revealing glowing blue eyes underneath.

“Hmph. It appears my identity has been compromised.”

Suddenly, Travis burst into a cloud of Phazon particles, which quickly reformed to create a new humanoid figure in its place.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../DarkSamus.jpg

Dark Samus readied her arm cannon for battle. She was silent, but an aura of dark energy and malice surrounded her; it was palpable even from several yards away. She began firing beams of pure Phazon at the Admiral to devastating effect. Dane was caught off guard and took the full force of the attack.

The Dark Hunter began to ready a Phazon Missile to finish Dane off, but she was interrupted by a massive, screeching roar. A massive, winged creature swooped into the room with incredible speed, grabbing Dark Samus and lifting her high into the air with it.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...eta-Ridley.jpg

Meta-Ridley bathed Dark Samus in flames, and consequently wound up firing on the crew of the Olympus below him as well. The crew quickly swarmed out of the assembly hall and ran for cover. Dane, taking one last look at Meta-Ridley and Dark Samus, left and sealed all the exits to the room.

The giant space dragon was now squeezing the Dark Hunter’s armor suit and tearing at it with his razor-sharp claws. He held her close to his head and roared with rage into her face. Seizing the opportunity, Dark Samus fired the Phazon Missile she had been storing directly into Meta-Ridley’s mouth. The dragon screamed in pain and dropped the Dark Hunter.

Landing on her feet, Dark Samus readied her arm cannon and fired full-power scattershot Phazon blasts at Meta-Ridley, who struggled to avoid the attack. In retaliating, he began bombarding the Dark Hunter with fireballs until she no longer had the time to concentrate on firing at him. Dark Samus rolled up into Morph Ball form and tried to Boost away from the attacks.

This was only encouraging to Meta-Ridley. He swooped low snatched the whole Morph Ball with his jaws, crunching viciously, then proceeding to fling the ball with incredible force at the wall. Dark Samus smashed into it, returning to her normal form. The Dark Hunter tried to get up, but her energy had been severely depleted, and the Phazon Suit would no longer sustain her. She struggled to move, her body crackling with electricity and Phazon energy.

The massive, metallic space dragon landed victoriously. He opened his mouth, and then fired a beam of pure plasma at Dark Samus. The attack caused her to shatter into Phazon particles, and she let out one last gasp of pain as she was disintegrated.

Watching from a surveillance camera at a safe distance, Dane saw that Dark Samus had been destroyed, and ordered the GF and IDFH squadrons in to fight Meta-Ridley. When they arrived, however, a massive hole had been torn in the ceiling of the chamber, and the dragon was nowhere to be found.

Night 3, Post #1359:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 3

After the disappearance of Meta-Ridley, the crew of the GFS Olympus was at a loss for what to do. Clearly they had a dangerous dragon on board who was somehow posing as one of them- a dragon who also happened to be the leader of the Space Pirates that the ship had been initially en route to attack. But Meta-Ridley had also destroyed Dark Samus, another of the greatest enemies of the Galactic Federation. Nobody would be taking any chances tonight. It was certain they’d all be up late securing a defensive position.

All of them except for Barrett Wallace, that is.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Barrett.jpg

Barrett never missed sleep for anything, and tonight was no exception. Besides, if anyone bothered him, he had a machine for an arm. You don’t mess with a guy with a gun at the end of his arm. It wasn’t like anyone else on this ship had high-tech arm-mounted guns or anything.

He was kind of bummed out about the death of his good friend Cloud Strife… still, he supposed he was better off dead than living under the control of the Dark Hunter.

Barrett continued to sleep peacefully, even when his steel door was kicked down forcefully. A huge, rotund silhouette could be seen in the doorway. The large assassin hefted his equally large hammer into the air. After pressing a button, the hammer roared like a jet engine and was sheathed in flames. This amount of noise, however, shook Barrett awake.

The muscled warrior sprung to hit feet and kicked the assassin in the face, causing him to lose his balance. Then he began firing with his machine gun arm and loaded up the assassin with bullets.

Or at least, he would have, if the huge figure hadn’t been spinning his hammer rapidly and blocking them all. The assassin smashed Barrett with his fiery hammer, sending him flying into the wall. The wall was bent and Barrett was stuck in it. The lumbering assassin walked up to the stunned Barrett and whacked him with the hammer again, this time sending him through the wall, as well as the next two behind it.

After checking to make sure he had hit his mark, the dark figure waddled away into the depths of the ship.

-----------------------------------------------------

The white wolf Amaterasu sprinted throughout the ship at full speed, leaving behind a trail of flowers as it went.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Amaterasu.png

Earlier, she had been approached by a small, yellow, mouse-like creature. The mouse had seemed friendly and playful at first, but after a few minutes Amaterasu had realized that it had glowing blue eyes and stared at her dementedly whenever it thought she wasn’t watching.

When the creature had suddenly launched a powerful electric blast at her, she was prepared and dodged, then began to run away. They were now in the midst of a cat-and-mouse chase… or rather a mouse-and-dog chase. Amaterasu dared not look behind her, but she heard the creature’s shrieks and the objects exploding with electricity behind her.

Finally, she hung a hard left into a corridor and left the creature behind. She continued sprinting through what appeared to be a large room used for communications- which had long been abandoned since they were cut. She kept running until she bumped into a large, armored figure with its back to here. The figure turned around immediately and aimed its gun.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

Amaterasu had escaped from one danger only to encounter another. The Hunter charged up her arm cannon, and an orb of pure light energy began growing steadily at the end of it. The white wolf was paralyzed with surprise, caught like a deer in the headlights of a car. From behind, she heard the yellow mouse bounding into the room, bristling with static electricity and growling.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

There was a blinding flash as both the light beam and the thunderbolt were fired at her. But when Amaterasu opened her eyes, she was unharmed. A huge, chiseled figure of a man stood next to her, holding up a powerful force field that blocked both attacks.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

Both the Hunter and Pikachu were shocked. Then they noticed each other, and each quickly retreated back into the shadows. Amaterasu looked back towards her Captain, wanting to thank him, but he was gone without a trace, as if he had never been there at all. Amaterasu hurried back to her quarters.

----------------------------------------------------

Deep in the lower sections of the GFS Olympus, the bounty hunter Gandrayda ventured.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Gandrayda.jpg

Down here, near the Cargo Bay, nearly all of the lighting equipment had been destroyed when the ship had been struck. Now the crew knew that Meta-Ridley was the one who had forced his way on board. Gandrayda thought that the dragon had probably lodged himself in the Cargo Bay itself, since it was one of the only rooms large enough for him to move around effectively. Since there was no lighting, not many had dared to venture down here since the attack had begun.

In fact, there was only one other crew member who had been down here previously…

“Don’t move!”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...lValentine.jpg

Jill Valentine had her gun pointed directly at Gandrayda.

“There’s something very dangerous down here… it’s best if you leave at once.”

The look on Gandrayda’s face was a mixture of amusement and confusion.

“What’s the matter, Jill? Not scared, are you? Besides… if it’s so dangerous, why are you down here yourself?”

“You need to go, and you need to do it now.”

“Why’s that? So you can finish your little chat with Meta-Ridley? Is that it? I’m no fool, Jill. I know what you’re up to, and I know what you can do… like this!”

Gandrayda produced a large ball of flame in her hand and held it there. Pallor passed over Jill’s face, and a red glint flashed in her eyes.

“You’re wrong, Gandrayda. You are quite the fool, and have sealed your own fate. Down here, no one is going to hear you scream!”

The illusion faded, and Jill Valentine’s true form was revealed, lit by the flames in Gandrayda’s hands.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...hadowPeach.jpg

Princess Peach, corrupted by an evil force, stood before her. She produced fireballs in her own hands, identical to the one Gandrayda held, and threw them at her. Gandrayda dodged, and began fighting fire with fire.

The cat fight continued, but Shadow Peach was gaining the upper hand. She had clearly had more practice using her own powers than Gandrayda had. However, there was one watching from the shadows who interrupted their battle.

“SCREEEEEEECHRRROOOOOOOAAAAARRRR!”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...eta-Ridley.jpg

Meta-Ridley swooped in from the high ceiling and shot a massive fireball into the midst of the battle, throwing both combatants to the ground. The massive dragon landed between them, and faced Shadow Peach with a devious grin on his reptilian face. He began slashing at the dark princess with his razor-sharp claws, and she was barely swift enough to avoid the attacks.

Gandrayda was almost mesmerized by the battle. She could have easily slipped away at this point, but that was not what she came to do. She saw only one possible way to come out on top.

The bounty hunter took a good look at Meta-Ridley, and then jumped onto his back, grabbing hold of his metal-plated spine. The dragon was confused and disoriented, and Shadow Peach managed to blast him in the face with a fiery attack. When she looked at the damage, though, she was seeing double.

Gandrayda had shape-shifted and somehow managed to take the form of Meta-Ridley. She lunged forward and grabbed Shadow Peach in her new talons, and then flew high into the air. She opened her mouth to launch a fire blast at the princess, but she was not yet used to this new form.

Shadow Peach seized the opportunity and blasted Gandrayda in the face with a fireball, causing her to lose her grip. Peach remained floating in the air, and reached forward herself, gripping Gandrayda by her scaly neck. Burning the bounty hunter with her clenched fists, she dove and plunged her head-first into the metal deck below.

Gandrayda, drained of all energy, resumed her normal form on the floor. Shadow Peach stood triumphantly over her.

“Hmph… at least I’ll take you with me…”

Shadow Peach wondered for a moment what she meant as the light left her eyes. Then she came to a dreaded realization when she heard the growling behind her.

The princess was impaled by Meta-Ridley’s tail, sharp as a spear, before she could turn around. When Meta-Ridley withdrew his tail and dropped her to the ground, however, she did not bleed. Wisps of red and black smoke left her body, and she screamed with hatred and agony.

When all of the dark energy had left her body, Meta-Ridley caught a glimpse of her eyes, in their normal, sparkling blue coloration, just before she lost consciousness.

Day 4, Post #1521:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 4

The next day passed rather quietly. Many of the crew members did not care to vote, and they were warned by Captain Falcon under the penalty of death that they really ought to do so.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

Despite the lack of diversity in debate, by the end of the day there was a tied vote. Captain Falcon tallied the votes and proceeded to announce the result.

“Today, the vote has been stalled at a tie between two IDFH heroes: Ness and Dragonite.”

Both of the IDFH warriors stepped forward. They did not look happy, but they could at least take solace in the fact that their Captain was deciding the outcome. Each one thought that surely Falcon would see he was innocent and spare him.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Ness.jpg https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Dragonite.png

“Hrmm…”

Captain Falcon scratched his chin and thought for a moment, but quickly came up with an answer.

“Here is my decision. You are both to die today.”

The IDFH crew was shocked, but they could not interfere with their superior officer’s ruling. The GF troopers looked on smugly. Dragonite and Ness were each struck by the decision, and began looking around nervously.

“The most painless way for me to do this is with a Falcon Punch, because your body will be disintegrated instantaneously from its awesome power. It’s also pretty cool looking. Yeah, I think we’re gonna go with that. Dragonite, you’re up first."

Falcon walked up to Dragonite, stretching out his right arm as he did so. When he was in place, he swung his arm back and it began to shake with energy.

“FALCON…”

“SCREEEEEEEEEECHROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!”

The Captain was thrown backward before he could finish his attack. Standing in Dragonite’s place was a massive figure about three times the size.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...eta-Ridley.jpg

Meta-Ridley flew into the air and began raining a hail of fireballs at the crew of the Olympus. Many of them ran for cover or attempted to escape the room. Ness, however, was not about to back down.

“PK FLASH!”

A flash of blinding light emanated from Ness, and the giant dragon, disoriented, flew straight into a wall. The little boy with psychic powers began readying himself for another attack.

“PK FIRE!”

A missile of flame shot from Ness’s palms and struck Meta-Ridley in the face, exploding on contact. Now the dragon was enraged, but not seriously injured. He began moving slowly towards Ness, relishing the moment he would get to rend the boy’s flesh in twain.

“PK FREEZE!”

Ness began gathering enough power to launch an icy attack, but it was a slow process, as he had exhausted his energy with the previous attacks. Just as his attack was about to launch, Meta-Ridley lunged forward and snatched him up in his claws, breaking his concentration.

Meta-Ridley now opened his mouth, and an orb of pure energy formed within. He was about to launch his ultimate attack, the Dragon Blast. Soaring up into the air, he threw Ness up even further, and pointed his head upwards.

“ROOOOOOOAR!”

The full-power ray of energy struck Ness in midair, instantly annihilating him. But what was left on the ground when the dust cleared was more interesting. Meta-Ridley had been frozen in an icy casing, and had fallen to the floor, unable to move.

Captain Falcon walked up to the frozen dragon.

“Well, back to business. Time to show you my moves!”

“FALCON…… PAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUNCH!”

Meta-Ridley was shattered into a million tiny, icy pieces. The crew of the Olympus cheered. Sitting in the middle of the room, unconscious, was a face still more remarkable.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...2732/Kirby.jpg

Kirby, the hero who attempted to fight the original Council of Villains. He had been eaten by Meta-Ridley after his defeat and, apparently unable to be digested, had been hiding out the dragon’s stomach ever since.

Captain Falcon picked up the little puffball and brought him to the makeshift medical bay set up in the crew quarters. It was unlikely he would awaken before the end of this ordeal.

Night 4

The crew of the GFS Olympus was in great spirits by the time the night rolled around. Both the Dark Hunter and Meta-Ridley had been destroyed, and now, there was only the problem of the Hunter to be dealt with. Or so they thought, anyway.

Pikachu had other ideas about the crew and their problems. According to it, they were all problems, and Pikachu was doing its best to solve those problems, one by one.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

The little mouse scampered its way through a ventilation duct, making twists and turns through the labyrinth, but never seeming to get lost. Finally, it saw a grating above its head and jumped upwards, popping it open. Its unnatural blue eyes glowed in the darkness of the room.

Inside the room was the IDFH hero Sora, sleeping peacefully with his keyblade under his pillow.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Sora.jpg

He was probably dreaming about his friends Donald Duck and Goofy, or something equally childish. Pikachu scoffed at this notion, and was prepared to transform those dreams into nightmares.

The sacs on Pikachu’s cheeks, which had turned a bluish color, began to emanate energy. But it was not electricity, as was usual for Pikachu. Instead, a beam of pure ice shot from Pikachu and hit Sora, freezing him solid. The mouse then leapt into the air, did a somersault, and smashed the frozen Sora with his Iron Tail attack.

After letting out a triumphant cry, Pikachu, bounded off into the depths of the ship.

------------------------------------------------

Roll Casket was working in the engine room, trying her best to fix the Olympus’s engines so that they could actually move the ship after they had dealt with the problems on board.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...RollCasket.jpg

She continued working busily, but all the while she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched. A couple of times she could have sworn she heard a cackle of laughter, but convinced herself she was only hearing things and went back to work. When she saw the shadowy figure with glowing red eyes floating in the air, however, she screamed and started to run. The cackles of the figure behind her grew louder and louder.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

Roll kept running until she found herself at a corner. She gasped in despair and didn’t know what to do. The hovering figure taunted her.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK! Looks like this is the end of the line for you, slick!”

“No! Please, don’t hurt me!”

“Oh, I’m not going to hurt you… I’m just going to steal your name and your body, and leave you as a wandering shadow. How’s that sound? HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

The shadowy figure swooped low and shot straight at her. Roll closed her eyes and flinched, but when she opened them, it was not what she feared.

“YEOWTCH! Mind warning me next time you wanna pop up out of nowhere, helmet-hair?”

Captain Falcon stood in front of Roll, protecting her with a force field.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“Well, I’m outta here. I’ll come back for you later… Roll Casket! HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

The shadowy figure melted away into the shadows. Roll looked up to thank the Captain, but he was gone in the blink of an eye as well. She hurried back to her quarters.

Day 5, Post #1673:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 5

At the end of the day, there had been a clear decision on who was to be lynched as a suspect. Admiral Dane was called in as usual, and he officially tallied the votes- but everyone knew what the end result was to be already. He stepped up to the podium and spoke in a dry, unimpressed tone:

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“Today, you have found guilty… the Waddle Dee. Out of all potential suspects dangerous to the crew of the GFS Olympus, you have chosen the Waddle Dee that carries packages for the IDFH troop. I must commend you all on your brilliance today. *Sigh*… please step up, Waddle Dee.”

But when the Waddle Dee stepped up, it was indeed clear that something was not quite right with him.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../WaddleDee.gif

For one thing, he appeared to be far too large to be a Waddle Dee. There were also what looked like patches in his skin, almost as if it was a costume. The already suspicious crew members became even more suspicious now.

“That’s no Waddle Dee!”

“It’s just a costume!”

“I bet Samus is hiding inside that thing!”

“Tear it open! Rip it to shreds!”

Before the Admiral could stop them, several crew members ran up to the Waddle Dee and started tearing at the shoddy cloth material that his skin was apparently made out of. The Waddle Dee began screaming and making noises that were quite unbecoming of him, until finally the dust settled.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...KingDedede.jpg

Standing in the center of the room was Santa Claus! No, wait. It was a fat penguin dressed in a red suit, with a hammer swung over his back. It was unmistakably King Dedede.

“Errr… Oh, dangit! You caught me! Ehehehe…”

This shocking revelation threw the crew into even more a blood frenzy.

“Isn’t that the penguin guy that doesn’t like Kirby?”

“YEAH! He’s a villain! We should kill him!”

“Maybe he’s been conspiring against us!”

“KILL THE VILLAIN!”

“LYNCH HIM!”

“KILL THE PENGUIN!”

“DIE, VILLAIN!”

“SILENCE.”

The voice of Admiral Dane was loud enough to momentarily halt the angry lynch mob that was forming.

“Villain or no, he is not attacking us right now, and he deserves to defend himself before we finalize our decision. King Dedede, just what ARE you doing here?”

Dedede tried his best to form some sort of accounting of his actions.

“Well, uh, you see, it all started back at mah castle in Dreamland. And Ah was thinkin’, it sure is dang boring without that there Kirbeh around no more.”

“HE WANTS TO KILL KIRBY! LYNCH HIM!”

“No, you got me all wrong! Ah realized Ah kinda sorta liked that there Kirbeh just a little bit. So I went on a journey to find me the lil’ puffball, and somehow I wound up stowed away on this here ship.”

“HE’S A STOWAWAY! KILL THE STOWAWAY!”

“But I didn’t do nothin’! Ah been just tryin’ ter survive this whole time. Ah figured Ah would stick with whoever was winning, but I reckon you guys here was givin’ those Hunters a whoopin’ so I didn’t really do nothing. And then that there Kirbeh popped out of that dragon’s belly, and I was mighty pleased ter see him a livin’.”

“BUT HE’S A VILLAIN! WE HAVE TO KILL THE VILLAINS!”

Dedede began to panic, as the mob was closing in on him.

“Now you listen here! What makes me a villain anyway? Ah was trying ter survive, that’s all. And you boys think yer all heroes, is that it? Y’all murder someone every day, but just because you took a vote on it, you think it’s justice? Is that it?”

The mob had become momentarily mesmerized by the great oration that the penguin made.

“Well Ah’ll tell you something! Back when we had that Council O’ Villains, we did the same darn thing! You think yer all the big damn heroes, but there ain’t but a few of you here that qualify! This here, this is just another Council O’ Villains, that’s what this is!”

The thunderous words struck home, and the mob was silent, unsure of what to do after such a grave accusation.

“Well? What do y’all say? What happens now?”

“KILL HIM! LYNCH THE VILLAIN!”

“YEAH, LET’S LYNCH HIM!”

The mob of crew members had made its decision, and Dedede’s fate was sealed. The King readied his hammer and made one last stand.

“Ah guess this is it fer me, then. Ah was glad Ah got ter see that there Kirbeh again, one last time. Now… I ain’t a goin’ down without a fight!”

King Dedede leveled his hammer and began spinning it slowly. He kept picking up speed quickly, however, and soon became a whirling, impenetrable fortress. All who tried to close in on him were swiftly and powerfully flung away by the hammer. This continued for what seemed like an eternity, with nobody able to harm the penguin king.

Finally, though, Dedede seemed to start slowing down. He had run out of energy, and was dazed from all the spinning. The mob saw their chance and closed in on him quickly, jumping on him and piling on top of him.

Admiral Dane stood in the back, shaking his head. When the business was done, he dismissed the crew and called in the maintenance droids to clean up.

Night 5, Post #1704:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 5

That night, the crew of the GFS Olympus was tired after a long lynching. Most of them went to sleep, but there were always some who remained awake during the night hours.

One such crew member was K. G. Misawa, the Recon Scout for the GF’s 07th Platoon.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/KGMisawa.png

Misawa knew that he would have a distinct tactical advantage if he moved quickly and silently and stuck to the shadows- and being a scout, that was something Misawa tended to be good at doing.

What Misawa didn’t realize was that he was heading dangerously close towards the Docking Bay in his corridor choice. He didn’t realize this, of course, until it was already too late. He entered through a doorway that led into a large, wide-open space. There was no back wall to the room; it was open space, blocked by a force field. And in the center of the floor was a large, orange gunship. It unmistakably belonged to the Hunter.

Misawa, noticing he was in a rather dangerous section of the ship, turned around to quickly head back where he came from. In doing so, he bumped into a being in orange armor.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

Misawa panicked and stumbled backwards, and began to plead for his life.

“Wait, Samus! Don’t you remember, it’s me, K. G.! We were friends in the Academy!”

The Hunter paid his words no attention and began to step menacingly forward, with her gun pointed at the trooper’s chest.

“Please! We can work something out! You can’t do this!”

The Hunter continued to walk forward as Misawa continued to back away. Suddenly, the trooper panicked and started firing his gun wildly. The rounds were no doubt chipping away at her energy, but they were largely insignificant the Hunter paid them no mind, beginning to charge up a swirling mass of dark energy in her arm cannon.

With a sudden lunge, the Hunter wrenched the gun out of Misawa’s grip and pushed him to the ground. Pointing her arm cannon straight at him, she fired at point-blank range. Misawa screamed as he was swallowed up by the dark vortex.

-----------------------------------

A figure in jet-black armor, with a faceplate that glowed bright red, strode down the halls of the Crew’s Quarters. It stopped when he had reached his destination: a half-open doorway. The figure powerfully kicked the door so that it slammed into the wall.

Inside, the hero Link had been sleeping quite peacefully, but was jolted awake by this rude gesture.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Link.jpg

It was dark in the room, and his eyes were still unaccustomed to the light. Frustrated, he got up and tried to figure out where his enemy was, then yelled when he saw the red glow.

“HYAH!”

The dark figure chuckled.

“Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much. I’ll be the last thing you see… before I erase you from existence!”

The armored warrior fired a blast of charged light energy from his gun directly at Link, but to its surprise, it was reflected directly back at it and struck it in the chest. Link held up his trusty Mirror Shield and grinned. Then he pulled the Master Sword out of its sheathe and began advancing on the dark figure.

Realizing this was a mismatch, the dark-armored warrior turned around and beat a quick retreat down the corridor. Link was about to chase after him, but he was still kind of sleepy, so he lay back down on the bed and passed out.

--------------------------------------------------

Knuckles the Echidna was out at night doing what he did best: hunting for treasure.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...theEchidna.jpg

It didn’t matter that there probably wasn’t a whole lot of treasure to be found on this ship; Knuckles was just sick of not being able to fight his enemy on even terms. Perhaps the “treasure” he would find would come in the form of finding a secret passageway leading directly to the Hunter herself. For some reason, though, he couldn’t shake the feeling that everyone else on the ship was watching him.

Eventually, Knuckles came to a small doorway. He might have missed it entirely if he weren’t purposefully looking for something- it seemed to just blend into the wall. Taking a peek into the alcove, he was taken aback by the large, glowing orb he found inside it.

Before he could touch the orb, though, it floated up and into the corridor. The Echidna was mesmerized; it reminded him of his Master Emerald back home.

Suddenly, a large, humanoid body began to form around the orb, leaving it exposed at the center. The creature growled at Knuckles in a booming voice, and he was surprised and jolted by it. Then he readied his fists.

The creature looked slow and lumbering, but it actually moved quickly. Knuckles was barely able to jump out of the way as a massive appendage slammed down in front of him, threatening to crush him.

No matter what maneuvering he used, Knuckles could not get at the creature, for it always had a spare appendage to defend itself with- and with his short arms, Knuckles needed to get in really close to attack.

The creature slammed the ground with both of its attacking appendages, and Knuckles leaped into the air in between them. Diving forward, he struck the exposed glowing orb with his spiked fist. The creature roared in rage, and released a pulse of energy that knocked Knuckles away from it. Then the orb began glowing so brightly that it was hard for Knuckles to see. The creature released a massive amount of energy, engulfing the entire corridor.

Knuckles was completely obliterated; there weren’t even ashes left over.

Day 6, Post #1823:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 6

The next day, there was a heated debate in the assembly chamber. There had been much panic after the previous night; the killings had increased, and it was suspected that as their old enemies were falling, new ones were rearing their heads. By the end of the day, the discussion had stalled on the topic of two crew members; neither of which had the support to overturn the other. Captain Falcon entered the room and tallied the votes.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“The final vote is a tie between the GF trooper Maurice Favreau, and the bounty hunter Sylux. Both of you, please step up.”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...iceFavreau.jpg https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Sylux.png

As the two soldiers moved to the center of the room, there was something of a commotion in the ranks of the GF. Judging by Captain Falcon’s previous policy, neither would survive the coming judgment. But what the crew needed most now was numbers, and killing both Sylux and Favreau would reduce their numbers to less than half of what they started out with!

“Silence! My decision… is that both of you must die.”

Maurice, shaking with both fear and anger, screamed in defiance.

“How can you just do that? We haven’t had a fair trial, not so much as a discussion of our defense! And not only that, but nobody’s even said what we were chosen for! They voted that we should die, so that is the end of it? No reconsideration at all?”

Sylux was silent. Falcon responded to him.

“My ruling is final; we decided this at the beginning of this ordeal. I do not like having to sentence you to death, but it is necessary. The Hunter is disguised among us.”

“Bah! Who’s to say she’s not just looking out for us, and trying to get rid of you? I bet the only reason you want both of us to die is because we’re both working with the GF!”

At this point, the GF forces were nearly ready to riot and strike out against Captain Falcon and his IDFH.

“And what of you, Sylux? Have you nothing to say?”

“Hmph. I always knew joining this mission was a bad idea. But you’re all fools if you think I’m going to stand here and let you kill me. You take one step closer and I’ll destroy all of you right now.”

“You think you can take me, Sylux? Show me your moves!”

“Not just yet.”

Sylux turned to Maurice Favreau, who was standing next to him, and fired from his gun a bluish stream of electricity. The bolt entered Favreau’s body and armor and circled back to Sylux in a superconducting loop, simultaneously electrocuting the trooper and sending him life force back to Sylux for his own usage. The ruthless bounty hunter continued his devastating Shock Coil as Favreau screamed in agony.

Suddenly, Favreau activated a switch in his visor and the circuit broke as a thin film of energy spread over his armor. Then he started firing his machine gun at Sylux, who was able to dodge most of the bullets.

Captain Falcon and the crew stood motionless, watching the fight and unsure of what to do.

As Favreau continued firing and pushed Sylux on the defensive, the crafty hunter transformed into a small metallic cube that hovered gently over the surface of the floor. The cube sped around the room and dropped metal spikes into the floor. Then, with the activation of a switch, an electric conduit connected all of the spikes, trapping Favreau in a deadly maze.

Sylux transformed back and launched himself through the air at the engineer. With his arm cannon to Favreau’s chest, he overloaded the armor with electricity. Favreau let out a terrible scream, but the energy pulsed through him long after he was already dead.

Sylux lifted the body of Favreau, turned menacingly towards the crew, and hurled it. The engineer’s body exploded like an electric bomb, shocking everyone in range.

Captain Falcon had seen enough. He leapt through the air and pounded Sylux in the chest with a fiery Falcon Kick. When Sylux tried to defend himself, the Captain buried him in a barrage of lightning-fast punches. Finally, he struck the twisted hunter with a powerful uppercut. The blow tore Sylux’s head clean off.

Before Falcon and the others could determine what exactly was under the hood, both the head and body armor of Sylux exploded violently.

The crew, to be sure, was in shock.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 6

Not many crew members of the GFS Olympus were able to sleep that night. They were sick with worry about the dangers of the Hunter and the other new threats, which they had failed to locate. Their commanders, Admiral Dane and Captain Falcon, often seemed just as merciless as the Hunter herself. There were many who were too fearful to fall asleep. And there were others who were awake for their own reasons…

Master Chief had positioned himself in the mess hall.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...asterChief.jpg

He stood up all the tables on their sides to provide him with cover, and hid behind one of them. Effectively, he had created himself a battlefield of chest-high walls, one that might have impressed even his buddy Marcus Fenix back at IDFH HQ. He was ready to be holed up here for as long as he had to.

The Chief crouched at one end of the room, back to the wall, as his sniper rifle pointed toward the other end and the door. He was relaxed but vigilant, and he stirred into position when he heard pattering footsteps at the other end. He looked through the darkness, unable to find his target. Every few seconds he would hear the footfalls again, and a few times he even saw a small creature bound from behind one table to another.

Finally, the small creature bounded out right in front of his view.

“Pikachu~!”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

Master Chief looked through his sniper lens at the adorable creature mewling at him, and was nearly reduced to dropping and running up to cuddle it. Then he saw the glowing blue eyes, decided against it, and fired.

With lightning-fast agility, the Pikachu sensed the bullet and dodged out of the way. Then it began moving faster than the Chief’s eye could follow, zooming all around the room. Frustrated, he switched to his assault rifle, hoping to hit it with the spread.

But it was not to be so. The Pikachu dashed around him and hopped onto his back, and due to the claustrophobic HUD in Master Chief’s helmet he was unable to turn around quickly enough to stop it.

“Pika…”

Pikachu began glowing with an unholy light.

“CHUUUUUUUUUUU!”

A massive, dark pulse erupted from the rodent’s body, passing straight through Master Chief’s armor and hitting him at his core. The force of the attack sent him flying like a blow from a Gravity Hammer, and he collided with the wall in a satisfying crunch of bones.

The electric mouse giggled as only it could do, and scampered off into the ship.

------------------------------------------

Roll Casket was wandering the halls of the crew quarters that night.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...RollCasket.jpg

It looked as if she was looking for someone, but she didn’t know who or where it would be. After walking the corridors for a long while, she finally stopped. The door she stood before intrigued her for some reason. Mustering her courage, she opened it slightly and peeked inside.

At the far end of the room, with its back to her, was a being wearing bright orange armor. Roll stifled a gasp, but remained mesmerized. She began to slowly open the door until it was only half closed.

The Hunter had not noticed her, but seemed to be preoccupied with something in her Visor. Roll continued to study her closely. Finally, deciding she had seen enough, she began to slowly close the door in order to leave. But when it was almost closed, the hinges of the steel door let out a loud, squeaking creak that broke the silence.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

The Hunter whipped around in a flash, just to see the door close shut. She fired a missile at the door and then barged straight through it, denting it and knocking it off of its hinges. She saw the girl running down the corridor and gave pursuit, charging up a beam in her arm cannon.

As she turned a corner, the Hunter aimed for the girl’s legs and fired. Then she slowed her pace. When she approached Roll, her leg was encased in ice and frozen to the ground. She was in hysterical fear, trying frantically to break free.

The Hunter raised her arm cannon slowly until it was level with Roll’s face. She was so close as to be within reach of Roll’s arms, and noticing this the girl pulled out her wrench and started frantically hitting her with it. The Hunter was unfazed, and allowed her Ice Beam to charge up to its full potential. Then she fired. Roll screamed.

------------------------------------

The scream of Roll Casket was loud enough that it roused the nearby Adam Malkovich from his light sleep.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...mMalkovich.png

He rushed out into the corridor only to find the body of Roll transformed into something resembling an ice sculpture, and the culprit gone. Not wanting to stick around and end up frozen in ice like the girl, he began to quickly move down the corridors toward the exit of the crew’s quarters section of the ship.

Just as he was about to leave the quarters, a figure in jet-black armor with a glowing red visor blocked his way.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Deleter.png

“Commander Malkovich… how strange to see you at this hour of the night.”

Adam recognized the armor, but could not see the face inside. He cautiously put his hand to his gun.

“Identify yourself, soldier.”

“Now, now, Commander. No need for formalities. It’s quite late. You should really be getting back to sleep.”

“I’m not tired. Out of my way, soldier!”

“But Commander… I INSIST!”

The dark figure fired a beam of pure light energy at point-blank range. The searing blast struck Malkovich in the chest and went clear through, incinerating his armor and the flesh in between. He fell backwards to the ground, somehow faintly conscious even with a smoldering crater in his chest. The dark figure stood over him.

“You see, Commander… the Lady? She had an objection.”

--------------------------------------------------------------

Anthony Higgs, patrolling the depths of the ship, heard the screams first and then the gunfire second.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...thonyHiggs.png

As quickly as he could, he began moving out towards the crew quarters. Through the clanking of his armor, he did not see or hear the glowing orb floating slowly behind him, following him. The orb did not disturb him, however… yet.

When Higgs reached the mutilated body, he grimaced and knelt over it. Opening the visor plate, he was shocked to see who was underneath.

“No! Commander…”

The face of Adam Malkovich was peaceful in death, but obviously had not been so moments prior while he was living. Hefting his mini-gun, Higgs stood back up.

“You will be avenged… I swear it! Samus…”

Upon turning around, he noticed the massive creature that had been lurking behind him all this time.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Gorea.jpg

Were he not weighted down by the gun and armor, he would have jumped from the shock. He reacted quickly, firing up the mini-gun and burying the creature in bullets. Heavy weapon or no, however, the creature seemed all but impervious to it. And there was no heavier weapon than the one the creature was about to use.

Pulsating with light, the orb at its center unleashed a hellish storm of energy. When the blinding light faded, the bodies of both Anthony Higgs and Adam Malkovich had been completely obliterated.

The creature’s limbs disappeared and the orb floated away.

Day 7, Post #1929:

Day 7

The next day, the crew was on the verge of a panic. The second-in-command of the GF troops, Adam Malkovich, had been brutally murdered, and it seemed that the insurgents were gaining the upper hand. They would have to get their act together quickly if they wanted to survive.

At the end of the day, there was a clear consensus, and Admiral Dane was called in to read the votes.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“Today, the crew member you have determined to be guilty is… James Pierce, GF trooper and communications expert for the 07th Platoon. Pierce, please step forward.”

James Pierce, wearing the blue armor that all 07th Platoon troopers wore, confidently walked toward the center of the room.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...amesPierce.png

“Pierce, what is your defense?”

“My defense? You don’t want to see my defense yet, trust me. First, I’ve gotta say something. You GF troopers are all idiots, you know that? The only reason Samus is out killing people at night is because we’re harboring this IDFH scum on board.”

“Pierce, where is this going?”

“And you, too, Admiral Dane. Shut up and listen! You keep telling us we have to catch Samus, but really all we’ve gotta do is jettison Captain Falcon and his so-called heroes out the airlock. Then we’ll have our favorite bounty hunter back on our side, and she’ll go and wipe out that Space Pirate homeworld we were heading out for. You’re all fools to sit here and agree to die one by one, when life is easily achievable!”

“That’s quite enough! It’s clear you’re not working in the best interests of this ship, Pierce!”

“You’re right, Dane, I’ve said enough already…”

James Pierce deactivated the cloaking device on his armor and revealed his true form.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Deleter.png

His armor turned a jet-black color. Pierce lowered the visor, and it was shown to be a bright, angry red.

“Behold! I am THE DELETER! I am here to erase from existence all those not loyal to Samus Aran.”

Many of the crew members gasped. The IDFH warriors readied for battle, but some of the GF troopers were hesitant to act.

“And I will start with YOU, Admiral Dane! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

The Deleter fired a blast of pure light energy from his gun, straight at Admiral Dane. He was struck head-on and stumbled backward. The attack that had killed Malkovich yesterday, however, was not powerful enough to defeat the Admiral. Dane regained his balance, pulled out a heavy machine gun of his own, and opened fire on the Deleter.

But the bullets just bounced off of the Deleter’s shiny black armor. With nearly super-human speed, he charged Dane, disarmed him, and struck him with the butt of his gun, knocking the Admiral to his knees. He held the gun to Dane’s head. Admiral Dane looked more annoyed than afraid, but did not move.

“Now, fools! You shall all submit to the will of Samus Aran, or the only thing left of your precious Admiral Dane will be his fancy hat! And I will wear the fancy hat! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

Nobody dared move now. Well, almost nobody.

“HYAAAAAAH!”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Link.jpg

Charging to the Admiral’s rescue was the hero Link. The Deleter, in a moment of panic after seeing the sharp sword heading straight for him, turned and began firing at the green-clad hero.

In the process, he fell directly into Link’s gambit. Link raised his Mirror Shield and easily deflected the blasts of light. Then, closing in, he bashed the Deleter with the shield itself. Even through heavy armor, the blow had a dizzying effect on the dark warrior. Link was prepared to run him through with the Master Sword, but before he could do so he was interrupted.

Admiral Dane, having risen to his feet in the confusion, grabbed the Deleter by the neck and lifted him off the ground. Then, with his other hand, he punched with all of his strength.

“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

The remains of James Pierce had to be cleaned up by the maintenance droids.

It's going to be like a 36-hour deal (probably a bit longer). I want this phase to end at 4:00 PM EST on Monday. Otherwise I'd be doing a night write-up at 2 AM, which would be... not fun for me.

Night 7, Post #1969:

Night 7

That night, the crew of the GFS Olympus was in slightly better spirits. They had caught a corrupted marine for sure, but how many others would be corrupted before the end of the trial?

Slippy Toad was sleeping peacefully, as he had done every single night prior.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...SlippyToad.jpg

The frog was prone to sleeping through any kind of loud noise or danger. Sometimes, if he was tired enough, he would even fall asleep while piloting an Arwing! But Slippy didn’t have an Arwing at the moment. If he did, he might’ve been better able to defend himself.

The door slammed wide open, and a small creature stood in the doorway.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

“Pikachu~!”

Though Pikachu had announced its presence in what was probably the loudest way possible, Slippy Toad remained sleeping, and creating a racket of his own snoring. Pikachu was a little annoyed at its not being the center of attention. It jumped onto the bed and tackled the frog, sending him tumbling to the floor. Slippy awoke with a start.

“Yeowch! What’s the big idea?”

Then Slippy saw the menacing creature with glowing blue eyes on the bed. He began shaking with fear.

“Fox! Help me!”

As fast his short legs could take him, he began sprinting out of the room and down the hallway. Pikachu, who could have easily outrun him, followed behind at a leisurely pace. It began firing Ice Beams and deliberately missing, giggling as it did so. Slippy tried his best to dodge, and at one point did a barrel roll.

“There’s an enemy on my tail!”

By now, Pikachu had amused itself enough. Using extreme agility, it sped in front of Slippy and blocked his path. Then it fired another Ice Beam, freezing the frog solid. Using a Quick Attack, Pikachu smashed into the block of ice and shattered it, along with Slippy, into a million tiny shards. Then it scampered off into the depths of the ship.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The bounty hunter Kanden was wandering the lower halls of the Olympus.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Kanden.jpg

He did not trust anyone but himself with his own life. The IDFH did not care who died so long as it was not their heroes. The GF had hired him, but to them he was expendable. Kanden had always been a loner, and it had always served him well.

So he trekked across the ship, always on the move and ever watchful. He was able to spot the red eyes lurking from the shadows even before he heard the obnoxious laughter.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

Kanden turned and fired his arm cannon in the general direction of the noise. The blasts did not connect, but they lit up the area and made his foe visible.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/Doopliss.jpg

“So now you’ve seen my face, eh, slick? I hope you know I can’t let you live now… not that I was planning to anyway! HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

The floating, ghostly creature disappeared, and when he reappeared there were many of him, all surrounding Kanden. Each copy of the creature began glowing with a bright, white light. They all cackled in unison.

“Game over, slick!”

All of the creatures charged directly towards Kanden, but the bounty hunter did not try to move. Instead, a thin film of energy covered his armor, and when the ghosts struck, they bounced right back. All of the copies disappeared, and only the real one remained.

“Not again! I’m not very lucky with this killing stuff, it seems… well, I’ll be back for you, Kanden! I know your name, and even that is enough! HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

The ghostly creature disappeared into the darkness, and Kanden continued moving, unshaken.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ghor moved hurriedly through the ship.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Ghor.png

He had been followed that night by several crew members, all of whom wanted to impede his progress in some way. He had only managed to escape by disengaging from his battle mech and blocking a hallway with a ton of mechanical wreckage. Now he was deep into the ship, and had reached the docking bay. The Hunter’s gunship was in the center. Ghor, having no other option, proceeded towards it.

But from behind, his progress was halted by a massive roar. Turning around, he saw before him a towering creature with a glowing orb at its core. It was ferocious, and its rage was directed at Ghor.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Gorea.jpg

Without warning, Gorea launched a massive energy beam at the bounty hunter. Ghor tried to jump out of the way, but he was grazed by the beam and knocked to the ground. As he got up, electricity crackled around his thin armorsuit, and he seemed to change shape. The illusion was dropped.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

The Hunter sprang into action. She fired two missiles at the monster, and it was momentarily stunned by the blasts. Then she curled into Morph Ball form and boosted toward the beast, dropping bombs around its legs before boosting away to escape.

Gorea roared with pain and rage. It grabbed the morph ball in one of its rocky appendages and hurled it at the wall. Samus reverted to her normal form as she dropped to the ground, and did not relent. She began to try her different beam weapons, firing charged blasts of ice, light, and dark energy at Gorea. But the attacks only seemed to make the monster more angry, and did not damage it significantly.

Gorea fired another massive energy beam at the Hunter. She dodged the blast, but it left a smoking crater in the hull of the ship, which an energy barrier quickly covered to prevent the air seal from breaking. Gorea continued to launch attacks at the Hunter, keeping her on the defensive. With each blast it came closer and closer to hitting her, and the Hunter was running out of places to run with all of the craters in the floor.

Finally, she was caught between two craters, with nowhere to run. The Hunter launched her Grapple Beam at Gorea, trying to pull it forward and into one of the craters before it could attack. The monster roared and broke the chain of energy. Then it launched its deadly attack and struck the Hunter head-on.

The force of the blast threw the Hunter back several yards, and she landed with a thud. Her Varia Suit fell to pieces around her.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...uitSamus-1.jpg

Corrupted Samus got back up, clad in her Zero Suit, her eyes burning red with hatred for the beast that had defeated her. She was barely able to stand. As Gorea roared triumphantly, she fell back to her knees and began coughing uncontrollably. A dark smoke, teeming with evil energy, forced itself out her lungs, and Samus collapsed, unconscious, as it drifted away.

Gorea prepared to deliver the finishing blow. Just before he could do so, however there was a flash of light. Admiral Dane appeared, protected by a barrier, and took the unconscious Samus in his arms.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

As soon as he had appeared, he disappeared. Gorea roared with rage at losing his chance to destroy her.

Re: [Council of Villains] A State of Corruption: Information Thread

Day 8, Post #2163:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 8

The day was full of chaos. One point of the finger lead to another, and finally the desperate crew members decided on one fighter who just seemed out of place… not just with the crew, but with reality itself. Here was one so insane and demented that nobody was really sure who even let him on the ship in the first place! Captain Falcon was called in to read the votes.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“Today, the crew member you have found to be guilty is… Weavel the bounty hunter! Weavel, step forward and explain your defense.”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Weavel.png

There were several gasps as Weavel approached the center of the chamber. He was fully clad in vicious armor, and nobody had ever seen what was underneath. Rumor had it he was almost entirely robotic, but there was no telling what he could be hiding.

“Well, you see… I can’t possibly have been working with Samus or Dark Samus because I’m a Space Pirate! Everybody knows that the Space Pirates hate both of the Samuses!”

Captain Falcon and the crew were dumbfounded.

“You’re saying you’re a Space Pirate… and because of that, we SHOULDN’T kill you? Wasn’t this whole mission set up to kill Space Pirates?”

If Weavel’s face was visible, he would have looked kind of nervous.

“Did I say Space Pirate? I meant former Space Pirate! Yeah, I don’t actually work with them anymore… that… often.”

“Who hired this guy again?”

A crew member piped up.

“Admiral Dane hired all the bounty hunters, sir.”

Captain Falcon brought his palm to his face.

“Let’s get this over with, then.”

“Not so fast! If you thought I would just stand here and let you kill me… well, then, I guess you didn’t think the right thing! I’m going to fight for my life!”

Before Weavel could even act, the Captain delivered a blindingly fast roundhouse kick to his chest. Much to his surprise, the entire top half of Weavel’s body detached at his hips and was launched back a few yards. The top half of Weavel’s body screamed insanely.

“HALFTURRET! ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK!”

A machine gun protruded from Weavel’s lower half and began firing at Captain Falcon. Though he was surprised, Falcon was nonetheless able to destroy the halfturret with a single blow from his fist. But Weavel was undeterred.

“Come over here! I’ll cut your head off!”

Using his arms to hop forward, Weavel extended a scythe from one of them and prepared to skewer the Captain with it. Falcon walked over casually and picked the bounty hunter up, then proceeded to tear both of his robotic arms out of their sockets. Then he set him back down with only his torso and head.

“Get back here! This isn’t over yet!”

"You’ve got no arms!”

“I’ll bite your ears off!”

“With your helmet?”

“Fine, then. We’ll call it a draw.”

Captain Falcon was about to blow the poor sap out the airlock and call it a day, but then a thought crossed his mind that made him grin.

“Let’s see what’s under that helmet, Weavel.”

“Naw, you don’t want to do that. Hey, what are you doing? Don’t come any closer! Not the helmet! No! NOOOOO!”

Captain Falcon pulled hard on the helmet. Everyone crowded around close to see what was inside. Finally, it came off with a pop.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/Doopliss.jpg

“HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK! Looks like you found me at last, slick!”

Doopliss burst out of the empty hole where the head of Weavel should have been. Everyone jumped back in surprise. Captain Falcon nearly fell backwards, dropping the helmet as he did.

“Now I’ll finally have my revenge! HYUK HYUK HYUK! Captain Falcon, your body is mine!”

“Not a chance, freak sheet!”

Captain Falcon dove forward and grabbed at Doopliss. The ghost made an effort to dodge, but Falcon managed to grip his hanging sheet-thing. Much to his surprise, the sheet came right off. Everyone stared at what they found underneath:

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

“PIKA-PIKACHU!”

The Corrupted Pikachu waved at them all gleefully. The crew members were now starting to get seriously confused. But they didn’t have any time to be confused, because Phazon-infused electricity started crackling at Pikachu’s cheeks.

“HOLY CRAP! SOMEBODY STOP IT, IT’S GONNA SHOCK US ALL!”

Nobody dared get near the Pikachu. The shock that they were expecting did not come, however. Instead, the Pikachu grew large and bloated, and larger still, all with the same sick smile on its face. Finally, it appeared to be bursting at the seams.

“IT’S GONNA BLOW!”

And indeed it did burst at the seams, for the Pikachu was only a costume after all! Standing in the place of the Pikachu was a sight to behold.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Gorea.jpg

“WRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRR!”

Gorea roared and raged. It glowed brightly as if it were going to unleash its ultimate attack.

“OH NO THERE’S A GOREA IT’S GOING TO KILL US ALL!”

“SOMEBODY HELP US!”

“I DON’T WANT TO DIE!”

Suddenly, the hero Link once again rushed to the rescue and brandished his Master Sword.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Link.jpg

Stabbing forward, he hit Gorea right in the center with his blade.

POP!

The massive Gorea inflatable began to lose air rapidly. It took flight and zipped around the room until it ran out of air, sputtering on the ground.

A cackling, insane laughter was heard from the corner of the room.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/Weavel-1.png

Sitting there was the helmet of Weavel. Apparently the only living parts left in him had stayed in the helmet when Captain Falcon had pulled it off.

“SO, how did you like my little display?”

Captain Falcon grumbled, obviously annoyed.

“I should’ve known.”

“Yes, you should have. But now you have all fallen into my trap, FOOLS! You are all FOOLS! Because you see, embedded within my helmet is a miniscule nuclear warhead. At any time I wish, I can activate it! And I think that time is now! You may have beaten me, but I will take you all with me. Fluffy will have the last laugh! I will have my: ”

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

“JOKER VICTORY!”

The members of the crew looked on in horror.

“Weavel… is this true?”

“Naw, I was just joking with ya.”

Frustrated, Captain Falcon stomped on the cyborg’s head, smashing it to pieces. He felt an incredible urge to bang his head against the wall, but stopped himself because he realized he might break the wall.

Night 8, Post #2214:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 8

When night came, the crew members were more nervous than usual. The death of Weavel had given them a good scare and a good laugh afterwards, but they found that since there were so few of them left, not one felt he could trust another. Each member of what remained of the GFS Olympus crew found his or her own private place on the massive ship to hole up in. If they remained grouped together in the crew quarters again, they risked being wiped out all at once.

U-Mos had taken up residence in the central mainframe chamber.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/U-Mos.jpg

Inside, there still remained the tube of glass that had shattered when the Aurora Unit 242 was destroyed. Without the Aurora Unit, the room had virtually no purpose, and U-Mos believed that a killer would have little reason to look here.

Gorea, however, did not consider reason when it came to killing. The mechanical door to the chamber exploded suddenly, and through the crudely enlarged doorway walked the menacing creature.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Gorea.jpg

U-Mos was surprised, but not unprepared. In his ancient language, he taunted the monster.

“Come, beast. Do you truly believe you can defeat a Luminoth Sentinel?”

Gorea roared with rage. It rapidly fired a beam of energy at U-Mos, who dodged out of the way with super-human speed and reflexes. The Luminoth then sped towards the monster and tried to strike out with his fists, backing them up with telekinetic strength.

The ancient beast was knocked backwards, but not truly harmed. The attack only made Gorea angrier. The orb at its center began glowing intensely, and it had blocked the exit so U-Mos could not escape. Just as it was about to fire, U-Mos braced for impact.

The blast had incredible power, but the Luminoth was able to withstand the blow. His Energy Tank, however, was drained entirely and shattered.

“It will take more than that to kill me.”

Seizing his opportunity, U-Mos pushed Gorea to the side with telekinetic force, and then rushed out of the room. Gorea was enraged at the escape of his prey.

-------------------------------------------------------

Amaterasu the white wolf had taken to roaming a stretch of corridors in the lower section of the ship.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Amaterasu.png

Since she had time and again proven she could outrun any other creature on the ship, it made sense for her to stick to a corridor with twists and turns to lose an enemy in. She continued pacing in one direction, when she saw, around the corner, an armored figure with a glowing red visor. As it drew closer, Amaterasu was shocked by what she saw.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

What was the meaning of this? Hadn’t they already defeated the Hunter? These were questions Amaterasu longed to ask but would have had trouble doing.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK! Looks like we meet again, slick!”

A look of instant recognition passed over the wolf’s face.

“What? Didn’t Samus- I mean didn’t I ever speak to you before?”

Amaterasu took a second to bark a taunt at the odd Hunter before turning and sprinting in the opposite direction.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK! You can’t get away from me!”

The Hunter charged after the white wolf and held out the arm cannon towards her. After changing a setting, the cannon’s mouth opened up into an x-shape, and the four blades started spinning as the attack charged. Amaterasu was picking up speed and nearing a corner.

The Hunter fired the cannon, and a large Super Missile shot out of it, rocketing forward. But it appeared that the attack was too late, as Amaterasu had already reached the corner and turned it. But instead of continuing straight down the corridor, the Super Missile appeared to lock onto the white wolf’s heat signature, and simply rounded the corner to continue chasing her.

Amaterasu sprinted at top speed, but even she was not fast enough to outrun a Super Missile. It collided with Amaterasu, and exploded in an incredibly powerful conflagration. Even if the wolf managed to escape the brunt of the attack, the entire section of the corridor was destroyed and collapsed on top of her. There was no possible way she could have survived.

The Hunter heard the blast, and did not even walk forward to take a look at the destruction wrought by it. The odd Hunter cackled unsettlingly and left in the opposite direction.

-----------------------------------------------------

The hero Link was in the Cargo Bay.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ption/Link.jpg

In order to fully utilize his sword and his tools, he needed a wide open space. The Cargo Bay was perfect for this, and it also provided occasional cover in the form of the large holding containers that were still stored in it. Link sat up against one of these containers. He was not used to staying awake during the night, and was about to fall asleep. A voice coming from the entrance kept him awake, though.

“PIKACHU!”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

The Pikachu, with its glowing blue eyes, gazed at Link with a look on its face that was both playful and menacing at the same time. Immediately Link got to his feet and drew his Master Sword, defending himself with the Mirror Shield as usual.

Pikachu charged straight towards Link using blinding agility and leapt at its target. The rodent’s skull bashed against the Mirror Shield, and it was flung backwards into the air. But Pikachu landed on its feet, unfazed, and tried to pummel Link with physical attacks- its iron-strength tail, electrified head-butts, and any manner of attack that the nimble creature could pull off. Apparently it was wary of having its own attacks reflected back at it by the Mirror Shield.

But no matter how quickly Pikachu moved or from what angle it attacked, it could not break through Link’s guard without risking being skewered on the sword as well. Finally, in frustration it unleashed a Phazon-charged thunder shock. Much to both Pikachu and Link’s surprise, the electric attack bypassed the magical shield and struck Link from all angles.

“HYAAAH!”

The attack was nowhere near strong enough to kill the powerful hero, but it did make him drop his shield. With a sweep of its tail, Pikachu knocked it away. The mouse now pressed the attack with more electric shocks, which Link had to rely on his own reflexes to dodge. Faced with a new challenge, Link tried pulling out various pieces of equipment in the hopes that they would halt Pikachu’s advance.

First Link tossed a bomb at Pikachu, but the mouse easily shocked it while it was in mid-toss, causing it to explode harmlessly. The second bomb was deflected back at Link with Pikachu’s tail, and he dove out of the way to dodge it. Arrows were no good, either, since Pikachu was fast enough to see them, hear them, and dodge quickly. Finally Link tried his boomerang, but Pikachu electrified that as well, and when it returned to him, he caught quite a shock, causing him to drop his Master Sword as well.

“GYYAAAAAAAH!”

Now Pikachu was in pursuit mode. Link was basically defenseless and he stood no chance of outrunning the critter, so he whipped out his hookshot and used it to start zipping around the room. But the ever-devious Pikachu discharged a thunderbolt at the hookshot’s chain. The electricity traveled down the metal chain and electrocuted Link once more.

“KUH!”

Link coughed and grasped at his chest. No matter how many hearts he had, he wouldn’t last much longer. Triumphantly, Pikachu leaped into the air and launched a vicious thunder attack that shot up, tore through the air, and landed directly on Link.

“KYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!”

Link screamed in pain as he was brutally electrocuted. When the lightning had coursed through his body, he fell straight back and lay still. His body bristled with static electricity.

Pikachu approached the body carefully. It had a contemplative look, and a few times it nudged Link’s side, perhaps in an attempt to get him to move. Receiving no response, it turned around and walked slowly out of the Cargo Bay- but not before turning around to take one last look. Through its glowing blue eyes, Pikachu looked almost sad, as if it had lost a friend.

“Pikachu…”

Day 9, Post #2283:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 9

The day had passed in a gloom. The crew was disheartened at the loss of the hero Link, who was widely viewed by even the GF as having the best interests of all of them at his many hearts- not to mention being one of the most skilled fighters on board. When his body was found, it was to everyone’s shock and dismay. Also missed was the white wolf Amaterasu, who had previously survived attempts on her life and had helped directly in catching some of the killers.

When the votes were made, Admiral Dane was called in to tally them.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

As was the trend, he announced the outcome to the few crew members remaining in the chamber.

“Today, you have found to be guilty: Lyle Smithsonian, Special Operations soldier of the 07th Platoon. Smithsonian, please step forward.”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...mithsonian.jpg

Lyle Smithsonian walked forward carefully. The dozen crew members that surrounded him stared suspiciously, but he did not know why. Smithsonian had been quiet, true, but that was simply how he was. He was not concerned with speaking; he always found actions to speak louder than words. But now he would be forced to speak to save his own life.

“What have I been found guilty of?”

“You are guilty of high treason and conspiracy against the Galactic Federation.”

“On what evidence?”

Admiral Dane looked perplexed for a moment.

“You have no evidence? No evidence at all. Here, I’ll come up with your best case FOR you. ‘He’s been quiet… TOO quiet.’ Sound just a bit cliché to you? You can’t sentence me to death without any evidence! Where is the justice in that?”

“This council has spoken, Smithsonian. You are the most suspect.”

“Yes, the Council of Villains has spoken, just as that penguin guy said. We all know there are no true heroes left! Link and Amaterasu were the last of them. As soon as one of the killers gets the upper hand, I know you’re all going to turn on each other like foxes and wolves!”

“And you, Lyle, claim to be different?”

“Not at all. If you think I’m going to stand here and be put to death, you’ve got another thing coming!”

Smithsonian whipped out his assault rifle and activated the stealth function on his blue combat armor. The light bended around his silhouette and he was nearly invisible to the naked eye. He began spraying the crew with fire from his assault rifle, and kept moving quickly.

Unfortunately for Smithsonian, there were many crew members who had found the benefit of a Thermal Visor over the course of the trip, and upon turning it on they could see him clearly. He was quickly swarmed, subdued, and taken into custody. The stealth field dropped.

“Let me go! This is injustice!”

Smithsonian struggled furiously, but was unable to throw off the guards holding him down.

“I will try to make this as painless as possible.”

Admiral Dane stood before Smithsonian and readied himself. He pulled his leg back in preparation, and then unleashed a devastating kick to Smithsonian’s chin. The force of the blow was such that it snapped the soldier’s neck and killed him instantly.

The same fate had befallen Lyle Smithsonian as every member of the 07th Platoon before him. In the future, the number would be known as cursed, and avoided by what remained of the GF military.

Night 9, Post #2321:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Night 9

Once again, the few remaining crew members had dreaded the nightfall. When it finally came, they all went to their own defensive positions to try to hold off against the attackers. It was more than likely for any one of them to be attacked now; no one was safe.

As usual, Admiral Dane was in his office behind the command center.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

Unexpectedly, there was a sharp knock at his door. Cautiously, the Admiral got up to answer it. He stood behind the heavy steel door and spoke to his visitor over the intercom.

“Who’s there?”

A voice replied back, throughout the whole time sounding as if it were to burst out laughing.

“Special delivery for Admiral Dane!”

Dane was puzzled for a moment, but before the next moment passed, the door was forcefully blown open into his face and he was thrown backwards onto the ground. In the doorway stood a familiar figure.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

“You DID order the trooper flambé, didn’t you?”

The odd Hunter held out its arm cannon, and at the end of the barrel a large amount of superheated plasma was charging up. Dane did not make any effort to get up, but sat calmly.

“No? Well, in that case I’ll make it right now! HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

The odd Hunter fired the charged Plasma Beam at Admiral Dane. Instantly, the Admiral threw up his hands and an impenetrable force field appeared. The beam shot bounced right back at the Hunter and struck it square in the chest. The Hunter was sent flying back out of the office by the blast. As the Hunter escaped, its taunts could be heard.

“Next time, your hat is MINE! HYUK HYUK HYUK!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Goombario was hiding in the destroyed medical wing.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Goombario.jpg

He figured that with his short stature, he would be able to hide very well in the darkness and survive that way. Of course, there was another small creature hiding in the darkness nearby; one that had better eyesight, too.

Goombario was mesmerized by the glowing blue eyes in the shadows at first, but then he realized he was in immediate danger and panicked. He tried to run, but he had concealed himself in a corner, and there was nowhere to go.

“PIKA…”

Goombario felt the air around him become very hot, almost to the point where it singed his mushroomy skin. Then the creature in the darkness unleashed its attack.

“CHUUUUUUUU!”

A massive fire blast attack was launched at point-blank range and struck Goombario directly. Under any normal circumstances, a blow like that would have made a pan-seared Portobello out of him. Somehow the lucky Goomba managed to survive… but the Energy Tank he had found cracked and shattered.

The light caused by the flame had lit the room up just enough for Goombario to see his foe.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

Pikachu was out of breath from the attack. Upon seeing the creature, Goombario’s mind flipped to the GF database on heroes he had memorized, and he tattled out Pikachu’s description.

“Pikachu. Small mouse with electric pouches on its cheeks… but this one used a fiery attack? The blue eyes suggest Phazon Corruption. It’s momentarily stunned. I think I can escape.”

After concluding that he could indeed escape, Goombario did so. He was extremely lucky; fireballs happen to be the second-most leading cause of death for Goombas.

------------------------------------------

The sole living GF Demolition Trooper on board was in the Mess Hall.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ionTrooper.png

It was still set up in the chest-high wall formation that Master Chief had created, and the Demo Trooper intended to use it to his own advantage. He had rigged the entrances with mines and had a grenade launcher at the ready.

What he was not expecting was a massive pulse of energy that detonated all of the mines harmlessly. Cursing under his breath, he then saw the monster that had unleashed the pulse enter the room.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Gorea.jpg

Gorea could not see where the Demo Trooper was behind all of the walls, but it knew that he was in here. And as long as he was in the room, it didn’t much matter where, exactly. Gorea roared, and then unleashed the same pulse it had used before, but amplified to a greater magnitude.

This time, all of the tables were disintegrated by the blast, and the Demo Trooper was thrown against the far wall. Growling with delight at finding his prey, Gorea now prepared to unleash its ultimate attack. The Demo Trooper got up and desperately fired a barrage of grenades at the monster, but the majority of them simply bounced right off of it, and Gorea remained undeterred.

The beam hit the Demo Trooper head-on. The massive surge of energy ravaged his armor suit and shattered the Energy Tank he had installed into it, but somehow he remained intact.

Gorea roared with rage, and threw such a tantrum that it did not realize the Demo Trooper sneaking out of the room, nor the shadowy pool creeping up from behind.

Eventually, Gorea calmed down, and underwent a glowing transformation. Standing in Gorea’s place, the shadowy pool observed the bounty hunter known as Spire.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Spire.png

Spire began to exit the room, but suddenly a figure surged up out of the pool and struck him in the back with a burning fist.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Vivian.jpg

Vivian’s fists burned with flames and she used them to duel against Spire’s rocky appendages. Being made of stone, Spire was powerful, but in his current form he was outmatched by the rapid, agile strikes that Vivian made. Vivian threw one extra-powerful punch to Spire’s face, and his rocky exterior cracked, he felt the Energy Tank he had acquired shatter.

Feeling the rage surge up within him again, Spire gave in to the temptation. He transformed back into Gorea, growing to twice his normal size. The attacks that Vivian launched now could not even put a scratch on Gorea. The monster roared in her face and backed her into a corner. The end was near for her…

Entering the mess hall from the other side of the room was the GF Researcher.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Researcher.png

Though she began this trial defenseless, the Researcher had put a massive amount of effort into studying Samus’s suit technology. She wore the end result on her right arm: a prototype arm cannon.

Shaking with fear, she barely managed to hold the arm cannon still as she leveled it at Gorea. The end of the barrel opened into an X-shape, and the four blades began spinning faster and faster. Out of the cannon shot a Super Missile, and it impacted Gorea directly at the glowing orb at its center. There was a blinding flash, a huge explosion, and a terrifying roar.

When the dust cleared, Gorea was no more. Vivian and the Researcher collapsed with exhaustion. The prototype arm cannon that the researcher had created fell to pieces almost immediately after firing the Super Missile. But they were both alive.

Day 10, Post #2450:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day 10

The crew members passed through the day wearily. Especially tired were Vivian and the GF Researcher, who had spent all their strength fighting the monster Gorea the night before. By the end of the day, they believed that they had managed to find another one of the killers. Captain Falcon was called in and the votes were tallied.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“Today, you have determined to be guilty: the sole remaining GF Demolition Trooper. Please step forward.”

The Demo Trooper walked forward, once again mumbling curses under his breath. Last night he had nearly lost his life, and it looked like it was once again in danger today.

“I hope you all have chosen correctly… this man was attacked by Gorea, after all.”

“Hah! Chosen correctly? All these fools have been doing is screwing up the whole time, and you think they might have made a correct choice for once? That’s a ridiculous notion!”

“What do you mean? We have been successful in catching the killers in the past.”

“And you take that to be the right course of action? You are more of a fool than I thought, Captain Falcon.”

“Soldier, are you insane? You’d rather these killers were still at large?”

“I should have killed you a long time ago, Captain…”

The Demo Trooper’s armor began to glow and blurred. When the light stopped, there was a different suit of armor standing in its place.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/Samus.jpg

“HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK! I’ll destroy you all! You are nothing compared to the power of the Hunter!”

The odd Hunter changed its arm cannon to missile setting and prepared to bombard the few remaining crew members. They were all weakened from last night; if the Hunter attacked, most of them would surely be killed. The quick thinking Captain Falcon came up with a plan.

“HOLD! Listen up, Hunter, if that’s what you’re calling yourself now… why don’t we raise the stakes a little?”

“What are you suggesting?”

“Let’s make this a one-on-one battle. I bet you can’t even beat me by myself, let alone with support on my side.”

“HYUK HYUK HYUK! Are you challenging me, Falcon?”

“May the best bounty hunter win. SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!”

The rest of the crew stepped back as the two titans clashed. Captain Falcon rushed forward with blinding speed and struck with burning fists at the Hunter’s armor. Though accustomed to ranged combat, the Hunter was no slouch in a fist fight. It blocked and parried with its left arm and retaliated by bashing Falcon with the arm cannon as if it were a hammer.

Neither warrior was able to land a significant blow. Falcon was fast enough to dodge the Hunter’s powerful strikes, and the Hunter’s heavy armor made up for what it lacked in speed. While it kept up the fight, the Hunter began charging up a beam at the end of its cannon. Seeing an opening, it thrust the cannon into Captain Falcon’s face and fired at point-blank range. The Captain was launched backwards by the blast.

“HYUK HYUK HYUK HYUK! Looks like your time is up, Falcon…”

The Hunter stood over Falcon and aimed the arm cannon downwards. Before it could fire again, though, the Captain swept his foot out and tripped the Hunter. Before the Hunter had fallen to the ground, Falcon grabbed it by the neck. He wound back his right arm.

“FALCON… PAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUNNNCH!”

The Hunter was thrown into the wall and smashed into it with great force. Its armor began cracking and crackling, looking about to fall to pieces. The Hunter began giggling maniacally.

“Well done, Captain. You have defeated me. But can you defeat… yourself??”

The Hunter began glowing, and its shape changed. When it was done, the spitting image of Captain Falcon stood in its place.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...inFalcon-1.jpg

The Captain was taken aback. But the Blood Falcon wasted no time and rushed towards the stunned Captain. The two Falcons engaged in a series of furiously fast punches and kicks, but in the end the true one was victorious. The creature was once again grabbed in a choke hold.

“FALCON KICK!”

The devastating roundhouse kick sent the Blood Falcon flying into the wall. He got back up, but the pain and fatigue were visible on his helmeted face. Still, the Blood Falcon began glowing and shape-shifting yet again.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...anondorf-2.jpg

In his place was Ganondorf! The dark lord began laughing in his deep, booming voice. Then he taunted Captain Falcon.

“Yes, that’s right. It was I the whole time! GANONDORF! THE KING OF ALL EVIL!”

“I’ll destroy you just the same!”

“Captain Falcon… I AM YOUR FATHER!”

Captain Falcon fell to his knees in shock. He didn’t want to believe it, but he knew the truth in his heart.

“That can’t be true!”

“Falcon, come to the Dark Side! Join me and we will rule together!”

“NO! I’ll never join you!”

Falcon stood up, and pulled out a beam sword. Ganondorf started searching around his clothing for something. He quickly became frustrated when he didn’t find it.

“Look, son… I’m really sorry, but I can’t do this… I forgot my sword again!”

“Oh, ok. That’s fine, dad.”

Captain Falcon put the beam sword away and proceeded to charge Ganondorf with only his fists. He battered the dark king with a flurry of punches and again sent him flying into the wall with a Falcon Punch. This time, Ganondorf collapsed to the ground and did not get back up. He began glowing involuntarily, and shrunk in size. The creature now assumed its true form.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/Doopliss.jpg

Doopliss was barely able to stand up, but he was still laughing through his hoarse coughing.

“YOU!? You lied to me!”

“HYUK…HACK! HYUK… what was your first clue, Sherlock?”

Captain Falcon lifted the shape-shifter for what was now the fourth time. He wound back his fist yet again.

“Lord Bowser… I have failed you… hyuk… hyuk…”

“FALCON……”

Night 10

Most of the remaining ten crew members were stationary in the bases they had formed for themselves. But not all of them.

Dr. Madeline Bergman was on the move that night.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ineBergman.png

In her arms she held a gun that was not huge, but still managed to look too big for her to effectively fire. It was shaped something like a shotgun, but from the level of technology present it was clearly not used to hunt quail, or even space-quail for that matter.

She was headed down towards the Quarantine Bay. With such an affinity for Phazon, she was certain Pikachu would be hiding there- if it were hiding at all, that is. Before entering the quarantined area, there were several automated airlocks she had to pass through.

Most of the power in the GFS Olympus was out at this point, and only access doors and lighting were running in a few areas. Madeline found it very odd, then, that the depressurization chambers were still running. Perhaps they had been rebooted manually… but that would have taken an incredible amount of electric power.

After the first chamber had pressurized, the door to the second chamber slid open automatically. At the end of the long hallway was a large metal hatch- the door which had exploded when Cloud Strife was defeated. And in front of that heavy door was a small figure.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

When Madeline recognized the creature, she nearly screamed, but caught herself. It appeared to be sleeping. Slowly, she approached, pointing her gun at it awkwardly. Finally, she stood directly in front of it, incredulous that it had not awoken from the noise with those long ears. Then she fired.

A wave of super-chilled air was launched from the gun. Pikachu sprang into action before the blast hit it. Apparently it had only been pretending to sleep. The blast from the gun bounced harmlessly off of Pikachu even as it frosted and cracked most of the metal plating behind it.

“Pika~!”

Pikachu leaped into the air and onto Madeline’s ice gun. As it bounded forcefully off of it, the researcher lost her balance and dropped the gun. Pikachu landed several yards behind where Madeline had been standing. Now she was cornered between Pikachu and the heavy door leading into the Phazon Quarantine chamber, which had been frosted shut anyway. Pikachu giggled gleefully.

Pikachu began crackling with electricity and Phazon energy. Madeline fumbled for her gun, and began discharging it frantically at the small creature to absolutely no effect. Soon, a glowing vortex surrounded Pikachu, and inside its eyes glowed an even brighter blue.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...VoltTackle.jpg

The static electric force was so powerful that already Madeline’s hair was beginning to stand on end. Realizing she could do nothing, as the vortex surrounding the creature blocked her exit, Madeline sank to her knees in despair. The Pikachu charged towards her.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...eBergman-1.png

The pain was excruciating. But as the high voltage passed through her, Madeline realized that though it pained her, it was not harming her body. The electricity passed directly to her Energy Tank, where the extreme volume of it caused it to shatter.

Pikachu stood against the heavy steel door, breathing heavily. It was recharging after the attack, but it would not do so for long. It glared with anger at the woman who had survived its judgment. Madeline sprinted out of the hallway as fast as she could, closing the air-seal door behind her.

Day 11

As the day passed, each of the ten survivors was wildly suspicious of the others. Accusations flew in all directions, but by the end of the day there was something of a consensus. There was another curious paradox: though all of them would swear there were only the ten of them left on board, there seemed to be eleven entities that were on their minds. Most shrugged this off as they frantically searched for the final killer.

When the crew members were done voting, Admiral Dane tallied the votes and read the conclusion.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“Today, you have found to be guilty: U-Mos, Sentinel of the Luminoth people. U-Mos, please step forward.”

U-Mos did not exactly step forward, but he hovered to the center of the room quite peacefully. There was no confusion or fear visible on his face.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tion/U-Mos.jpg

“U-Mos… what do you have to say for yourself?”

The Sentinel spoke in his strange tongue, but using telepathy he managed to translate it to the crew members who did not understand.

“You are all terribly misguided, but I can tell that you mean well. Unfortunately for you, you have not caught the killer today.”

“That’s not going to fool us, U-Mos. If you think we will let you off just because you say you’re innocent-”

U-Mos, suddenly angry, cut him off.

“Let me off? Admiral Dane, you are already fooled!”

“Not this again… I have a feeling this one won’t go quietly!”

“Quietly? No. But I have no intention of resisting your judgment, fool. I am old, and have lived for far too long already. I do not fear death. But I do fear for the future of my people, and if you do not stop this creature, I see dark clouds on the horizon. Let me tell you who you have decided to put to death: I, U-Mos, am the guardian of my people, who live on the planet Aether. Aether was struck by a Phazon meteor many cycles ago, warped and twisted and nearly destroyed. I alone resisted the power of it, and safeguarded my people until Samus arrived. And you believe that I have fallen to the Corruption? LAUGHABLE. You will all reap what you have sown.”

“Are you done yet?”

“Yes. Bring me to the airlock. That is how I shall meet my fate.”

Admiral Dane led U-Mos to the airlock, and when he was ready, sealed off the chamber. Dane was careful for any tricks or traps he feared the alien might try to pull, but U-Mos did not resist in any way. U-Mos was blown out into space, where he died quickly in the vacuum. When his body was brought back inside, his face looked peaceful in death.

Night 11

After the death and exoneration of U-Mos, whom the survivors thought sure to be guilty, the nine were thrust once again into trial and confusion. They all proceeded to their strongholds spread throughout the GFS Olympus.

Kanden was biding his time in the Training Chamber.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Kanden.jpg

Presently it was formatted so that it was a simple, wide-open space. That way Kanden would not be surprised by his enemy turning a corner behind him, and he would have a clear shot with no cover. Of course, that also meant there would be no cover for him.

But the visitor he received didn’t seem the type to use ranged weapons all that often. The sound of Admiral Dane’s heavy boots crashing on the floor ensured that Kanden knew full well what was coming long before the Admiral had arrived. He stood in the center of the training room with his arm cannon pointed at the doorway. Admiral Dane strode in majestically.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

“It’s time for you to die, bounty hunter scum!”

Kanden fired his arm cannon at the Admiral rapidly, but the shots just seemed to bounce off his armor, and he was completely unaffected. Dane continued to walk, slowly but determinedly, toward Kanden in the center. Kanden himself did not move.

When Dane stood directly before Kanden, the bounty hunter activated his defense- a glowing green multi-purpose barrier surrounded him. Admiral Dane swung back his right leg, preparing to attack.

Dane shot his booted foot forward in an incredibly forceful roundhouse kick. The blow continued straight through Kanden’s barrier unimpeded and struck him in the chest. Kanden flew backwards until he hit the wall behind him, and then crumpled to the ground.

Admiral Dane, with a half-satisfied look on his face, left the room.

But after Dane was gone, Kanden got up. The blow had completely drained his Energy Tank, but he was still alive and his armor was intact.

----------------------------------------

Madeline Bergman hurried through the halls.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ineBergman.png

She was certain that she was being watched. She did not see anything, but she felt the presence of Phazon around her, and she sometimes heard the scratching and the chattering that sounded as if it came from inside the walls of the ship. She did not know how to escape an enemy she could not see, but she kept moving nonetheless.

Madeline continued to hurry, until she reached a dead end and nearly walked into the wall. She had wandered into the crew quarters, and had found the dead end at the extremity of the area. Panicking, she turned around quickly but was halted by a ceiling grate falling to the floor in front of her. A small creature followed the grate.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

Madeline screamed. She had once again been cornered by Pikachu, and this time she had no energy tank to save her. The Pikachu’s blue eyes glowered at her maliciously. The mouse was not one to let its prey escape it. Pikachu began charging up electricity and Phazon energy, and a large vortex began forming around it again.

Madeline activated her last resort. A glowing energy film capable of deflecting electric bursts covered her body. She braced herself as the Pikachu charged…

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...eBergman-1.png

This time it was not enough. Even the hazard shield covering Madeline shorted out due to the sheer volume of electricity that Pikachu had created. The Phazon energy included in the vortex had seeped through already and was burning like acid through Madeline’s skin. As the Phazon burned from the outside, so did the electricity from the inside. When Pikachu was done, the once-beautiful woman was now only a charred husk.

“Pika-chu~!”

The creature grinned gleefully and scampered off after leaping back into the ceiling vent.

Day 12

The eight remaining crew members of the GFS Olympus had started to become a little frantic in their search for the killer. Today, they voted unanimously, though with the exception of the unlucky suspect. Captain Falcon was called in to read the results, though at this point it was but a formality. There would be no surprises or last-minute changes today.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

Captain Falcon tallied the votes and read the results with a solemnity usually unseen by him.

“Today, you have found to be guilty: the bounty hunter Kanden. Please step forward and present your defense, Kanden.”

The bounty hunter stepped into the center of the room. At once the rest of the survivor noticed how he towered over everyone else, being nearly eight feet tall.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Kanden.jpg

There was a hint in his demeanor that suggested he was not entirely sane. But he had always been this way; he was, after all, essentially a lab experiment gone wrong. Kanden had been hired because of his insatiable desire to kill and his lack of concern for his own personal safety. In that way, as long as Kanden followed orders it had the same effect as hiring a life-risking hero.

Kanden was silent for a moment or two as he sized up the other survivors in the room. Captain Falcon was about to prompt him, when suddenly he started firing his arm cannon wildly at the crew surrounding him, screaming as he did so.

“You want me to present my defense? THIS IS MY DEFENSE! GAHAHAHAHA! I’ll teach you all to betray me! This is what you get for crossing the mighty Kanden!”

The survivors started taking cover and Falcon sprang into action. Before Kanden could do much damage, the Captain engaged him in personal combat. Kanden blasted his at close range with electrified bullets from his arm cannon, but Falcon managed to shrug off the attacks. He grabbed the abomination by the waist and lifted him over his head, proceeding to throw him with great force against the wall.

There was a crash as Kanden hit the steel wall, but the bounty hunter got right back to his feet. He charged at Captain Falcon, but was struck with a fiery roundhouse kick and hit the wall again. Dazed as he got to his feet, Kanden was unable to react as swiftly this time. Captain Falcon pulled back his fist.

“FALCON…… PAAAAAAAUUNNNCHHH!”

The force of the blow took Kanden’s head clean off. His body sunk to the ground, unmoving. All of the seven remaining survivors stared cautiously at the body for a few moments, but it did not move again. Realizing the night had arrived and the killer was still at large, they all quickly headed out for their strongholds.

Night 12

The following night was quiet. The seven survivors had waited almost the whole night, listening carefully for the sound of an attack some place on the ship. Finally, a few of them got fed up.

Banjo and his pal Kazooie were on their way to Siegfried’s stronghold, and they were passing through the main chamber on their way.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...andKazooie.jpg

The bear’s paws crackled with electricity. When the duo had entered the large chamber, however, they saw a figure on the other side. It was none other than Siegfried Schtauffen himself, given away by his shining crystal armor.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Schtauffen.jpg

Siegfried stared at the bear and bird determinedly.

“You don’t have to hide it any more, Banjo! I know that you are really Pikachu. That backpack is the perfect place for hiding a mouse… I WILL ATONE FOR MY SINS!”

The shining knight charged with his sword drawn.

“You’re wrong, there’s no way a Pikachu could fit in that backpack with Kazooie already inside!”

“Hey! You calling me fat, pudgy?”

“Can it, Kazooie! Anyway… I’ll bet Pikachu’s hiding inside that armor of yours! I’ll tear him out with my bear hands!”

Banjo charged head on at Siegfried as well. He sidestepped the knight’s bladework and struck at his armor with a paw. Electricity surged from inside Siegfried’s armor and through Banjo.

Before whatever was happening could finish, however, a shadow sprung forth from a dark pool on the ground and struck at Banjo with a fiery fist.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ion/Vivian.jpg

Vivian was poised, ready to strike at the bear and bird, who had been knocked to the ground.

“I knew it! I knew you were the killer! Now you’ll feel my burning wrath!”

Before Vivian could finish off the duo, however, a leather tendril caught around her wrist. They all swerved around to the left to see the vampire hunter Simon Belmont, holding her back with his legendary whip. His silent gaze was piercing.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...monBelmont.gif

“Let me go, or I’ll destroy you just the same!”

“Vivian! I thought we were supposed to be the good guys! You’re ready to kill anyone who gets in your way?”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../Goombario.jpg

To the right stood Goombario, who had been overlooked since he was considerably smaller than the rest of them.

“I’m sure that it was Pikachu who tried to burn me to death… maybe it’s been YOU this whole time!”

“Stop! Vivian helped us defeat that monster Gorea, or don’t you remember?”

Behind them all was the Galactic Federation Researcher, Blair Grey.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Researcher.png

Quickly the group all turned on her.

“And what about you, Grey? Where did you get that Super Missile?”

“Why is it that you, a defenseless researcher, managed to survive to the end easily while all of us heroes are struggling?”

“Aren’t you the last GF crew member besides Admiral Dane?”

“DID SOMEBODY CALL MY NAME?”

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...dmiralDane.jpg

At the entrance to the chamber was Admiral Dane himself. He strode over to them calmly.

“I think you will find that not one of you is the rodent we are looking for.”

“Then…”

“It couldn’t be…”

“ADMIRAL DANE IS PIKACHU?”

Dane endured their dull, witless accusations for a few seconds before silencing them all.

“No, you fools! Look over there!”

Dane pointed toward the left side of the room, where the headless body of Kanden was still lying after its decapitation the day before. Suddenly, it began to stir, and electricity crackled around it. The chest plate burst open, and a small yellow figure shot upwards before landing down on the floor below.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...on/Pikachu.png

“PI…”

Pikachu's blue eyes burned intensely with a cold rage. The air around it was snapping and popping with a static field.

“KAAAA…”

A massive vortex of electricity and Phazon energy surrounded the creature. The seven survivors backed away from the deadly field of energy but could only stare in awe at it.

“CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!”

The vortex exploded into an incredible storm of electric energy. Lightning bolts shot forth from Pikachu’s body, striking the walls and floor of the chamber and creating large, blackened craters. The survivors took cover from the lightning, but were still shocked by the constant field of static electricity radiating from the creature.

Admiral Dane held up a force field around himself and tried to approach Pikachu. The barrier had been enough to defend him from every previous attack, but when the thunder attack hit it this time, the barrier shattered, and Dane was flung like a rag doll against the wall of the chamber. The Admiral limped out of the room, feeling his Energy Tank draining.

With its major adversary incapacitated, Pikachu stopped the storm and began zipping around the room, striking individually at its prey. When they tried to escape, Pikachu overloaded the automatic doors, made of heavy steel, and made them shut tight, trapping them all. Vivian and Banjo tried to fight back, but they could not even get near the creature without being electrocuted by the Phazon-charged vortex surrounding it. Pikachu began charging up for its famous Volt Tackle attack.

Without warning, one of the doors was smashed open and a figure sped in, moving as fast as Pikachu had been running before. It shot straight toward Pikachu and delivered a powerful knee to the face before retreating with a series of acrobatic flips. Captain Falcon stood as the last bastion holding back the mighty Pikachu.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...tainFalcon.jpg

“SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!”

Pikachu was undeterred. Phazon-charged lightning shot from its body and struck the Captain, shattering his so-called impenetrable barrier that seemed so similar to Dane’s. Falcon screamed as he was steadily electrocuted, until eventually his clothing and even skin melted off.

But underneath Captain Falcon’s skin was not muscle and bone tissue as one might expect. A complete, chiseled figure of a man stood in Falcon’s place. He was not screaming anymore, nor did he even appear to be in pain.

https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...huckNorris.jpg

Chuck Norris, with a wave of his hand, shorted out the electric current that Pikachu had been sustaining. All stared in awe at him- even Pikachu. Slowly he walked toward the creature. Then, lifting it into the air, he brought its face within inches of his own, so that Pikachu could almost feel his manly beard bristling against its own fur. And Chuck Norris stared deeply into Pikachu’s corrupted blue eyes.

In an instant, the spell was broken, and Pikachu snapped back to reality, its eyes returning to their normal black color. But Pikachu’s skin was still tinged with blue, a sign of near-complete Phazon corruption. The creature looked around in a daze at first. Then, as if recalling some terrible occurrence, it squeaked and sprinted out of the room.

Chuck Norris turned to the six survivors.

“Follow me. I know where we’ll find it.”

-------------------------------------------------

Pikachu sat in the center of the morgue, viewing all of the carnage it had wrought with tears streaming down its blue cheeks. It remembered being forced to destroy its own comrades: Sora, Master Chief, Slippy Toad, and most of all, Link. It remembered those that the other corrupted killers had destroyed. Pikachu ignored Chuck Norris and the six survivors entering as it noticed something even more terrible.

In particular, the body of the hero Pit reenked with the smell of decay, but Pikachu still snuggled up to it as close as it could. Discharging electricity from its body, Pikachu tried to restart the hearts of its fallen friends, but the effort was in vain. Their bodies were as cold as stone.

Pikachu now turned to Chuck Norris, and slowly approached him. It spoke in a pleading voice.

“Pika-pi! Pika-pi…”

Chuck Norris, translating for the crew, explained the situation.

“Pikachu has regained its consciousness, but it is still corrupted with Phazon. It is so completely corrupted, in fact, that it is impossible to purge the Phazon from its body. Pikachu, realizing it has become an abomination, desires atonement for its deeds in death.”

The crew could not help but feel pity for the twisted, pathetic creature.

“I will grant it this last request.”

Chuck Norris stared at Pikachu once again. With the strength of his mind alone, he broke a single bone in the structure of Pikachu’s neck. The creature fell to the ground silently, dying a painless death.

“Let us return to the central chamber.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When the six survivors had returned with Chuck Norris to the main meeting chamber of the once-great GFS Olympus, they were weary, but relieved that the ordeal was finally over. But there was one question that was still bugging them. Blair Grey spoke up.

“So… you were Captain Falcon all along. But what happened to Admiral Dane?”

Chuck Norris gave them all his trademarked smile.

“I am Admiral Dane.”

“But that’s impossible! How can you be both Falcon and Dane at the same time?”

“Very well. Tell me when you have seen Captain Falcon and Admiral Dane in the same room.”

The crew members racked their brains, but could not remember any such occurrence.

“That’s right… Dane and Falcon always switched off during the lynch every day.”

“And they never showed up until the end, every time!”

“Then you will all agree that I am therefore the commander of both the IDFH and GF forces on this ship?”

The crew members nodded.

“Then here are my commands. Over the course of this conversation I have restored the ship to its original conditions. I have destroyed all of the Phazon in the Quarantine Bay. I trust now that you have seen the dangers of corruption, you will no longer attempt to exploit it for your own means."

The crew members continued to agree.

“It has long been my policy to avoid meddling in the affairs of mortals, but I made an exception here because I saw a chance to teach a lesson and make the universe a brighter place. Now that it is over, I will be returning to my own realm of existence to watch over the universe. Naturally, I will need to appoint successors or this ship will descend into anarchy again.”

The crew members awaited his words eagerly.

“Researcher Blair Grey… for your outstanding service in the name of the Galactic Federation, I confer on you the rank of Admiral.”

Grey stood and accepted the promotion, beaming. She was the only one left able to receive such a title.

“Vivian, for showing yourself to be capable of decisive action where necessary, I am appointing you as Commander of the IDFH forces in the Metroid dimension. Banjo and Kazooie, for your incredible intuition, you will serve jointly as Deputy Commander and Advisor to Vivian. You are to be considered Class-S Heroes.”

Banjo and Vivian proudly accepted their positions. Kazooie was slightly less dignified.

“What? Only a deputy? What’s the big idea?”

Chuck Norris turned to the remaining three survivors.

“Siegfried Schtauffen. Simon Belmont. Goombario. For outstanding perseverance, you are all awarded the rank of Class-A Hero.”

Chuck Norris now addressed the group as a whole.

“Here are your remaining tasks. The six of you are to see to it that Samus, Kirby, and Princess Peach all make a full recovery. Then you are to take this ship and use it to conquer the Space Pirate homeworld nearby. Without Meta-Ridley to lead them, they will be unable to mount a sufficient defense. Following that, the alliance between the GF and the IDFH shall be reforged. The GF will take control of this dimension, while the IDFH will send strike forces to reconquer the Banjo-Kazooie, Soulcalibur, and Castlevania dimensions. Is that clear?”

The six champions responded resoundingly.

“Yes, sir!”

“I am confident that you will all succeed. I must now return to my own realm. Be proud, for you have made this day a…”

Re: [Council of Villains] A State of Corruption: Information Thread

Host Commentary

WARNING: Wall of text imminent.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I am making this up on the spot, so forgive me if it seems somewhat unpolished.

When I began developing this game, I wanted it to be something of a deconstruction of the last two Council of Villains games. It would have a similar feel to the last two, but definitely be different enough to make it seem unique. I think I managed to make it unique at least with respect to my other games. I have pretty much shamelessly lifted ideas from TinCow, Sigurd, and Askthepizzaguy, and for that they have my simultaneous apologies and admiration.

I knew from the beginning that this game had to be set in the Metroid dimension- the original CoV was (nominally) set in the Sonic dimension (which I like to call “Chaotix” :clown:) and The Koopa Troop was obviously in the Super Mario/Mushroom dimension. I had a small game in the Hyrule/Zelda dimension, and I’m planning another one for Pokemon. Not to mention ATPG got Lylat Wars in there too. So what’s the next biggest franchise? Metroid, of course.

The problem with Metroid is, there aren’t many villains with speaking roles. And there aren’t many heroes at all, besides Samus. I knew I would be using Samus under Bowser’s control, as per the ending of The Koopa Troop, and I would have to have Meta-Ridley if we were playing Metroid. But I needed an actual town for them to kill- while at the same time, it didn’t make sense for them to be out to kill the same people. At this point I looked to TinCow’s Rubicon and the divided town concept, and thought it would probably work perfectly.

So I came up with the setting right there. The IDFH is already established as of The Missing Link, but in the background and never really too important. Meta-Ridley is on the rise in the Metroid dimension, and since IDFH lost in The Koopa Troop they’re looking elsewhere. So in an alliance of convenience, all of a sudden the IDFH is working with Metroid’s Galactic Federation. I take a bunch of soldiers and bounty hunters for the GF, and a bunch of weaker heroes and sidekicks for the IDFH, to justify them all getting kicked around by Samus. And they’re all teaming up to beat Meta-Ridley and his Space Pirates. The IDFH knows something is up as soon as Samus gets on board unannounced, since they got the memo that Samus was supposedly killed by Bowser. But the GF love Samus and have no idea that she’s been turned to the dark side, so the dimmer ones among them will follow her to the ends of the earth.

Samus needs a counterpart. That’s Dark Samus, of course. She played a bit part in CoV, but was on the winning side in that game so technically she gets some new massive power. But how do I justify Dark Samus working with the IDFH? The GF has secret stores of Phazon on board that they purposefully neglect to tell IDFH about. The IDFH learns about it when Dark Samus busts down the door, and all of a sudden they see an opportunity- power to rival that of the villains. And to make Dark Samus seem even more friendly, she’s running around with a couple of heroes- corrupted, of course. So these short-sighted, weaker IDFH members will ally with a villain for the chance to take down other villains. Justification: Acceptable, IMO.

So, it’s Rubicon but in Metroid flavor. Instead of Caesar, Pompey, the Populares and whoever supported Pompey, you’ve got Samus, Dark Samus, GF, and IDFH. Meta-Ridley doesn’t fit into either category, so I make him a neutral serial killer and leave that for later.

And this is my deconstruction of Council of Villains. In the original game, the factions were for the most part very simple. There were the villains. There were the heroes. There were the antiheroes. And then there were a couple of classic villains-who-betray-other-villains. In The Koopa Troop, I deliberately made it more complicated and confusing. There were the villains as the town. There were still heroes as mafia. But then there were also *takes breath* villains who were taking control of heroes and other villains for the purposes of killing both the heroes and the villains (Dimentio and Fawful).

So with the new game, I intended to completely shatter any notions of heroes or villains. They became questions instead of definitions- what makes a hero? What makes a villain? The town would be composed of heroes this time- but they were not true heroes. From the start they would be fighting against heroes-turned-villains (Samus, Peach, Pikachu, Cloud). They could be corrupted forcibly into joining the villains. And in the end most of them were only out for their own survival, so they could win with the villains willingly as well. I even placed in a villain who could turn hero (Dedede) in one possible ending. It’s gray and grey morality, and it’s hard to tell who’s got the good cause any more.

That’s my bit on heroes and villains and crap. Back into game mechanics. I knew I wanted to have Metroid-esque power-ups. Sigurd and ATPG’s Star Wars powers seemed the right way to go, but that system was way too complicated for me to make from scratch. I settled on a simplified version that I think worked reasonably well. Fire, Lightning, Ice, Light, and Dark elemental attacks for the mafia. Defenses for each one, and then a Fire-Lightning-Ice combined defense and a Light-Dark combined defense if anyone ever got that far. 4 types of visor for investigation, similar to but different from the Force investigations, as well as a specific defense against investigations for maximum chaos potential. No Force Breath, because that really annoyed me, but night-kill defense instead, in the form of Energy Tanks. Then, three different townie abilities: the fire-based Plasma Cannon vigilante kill, the Ice Beam for roleblocking, and the electric Wave Grapple, which stole powers from other players. There were no light or dark based townie actions. Add in a Super Missile, a couple of unique character abilities, and the ability of Samus and Dark Samus to steal powers after killing- like a power-up gained from killing a boss.

As for how the powers were divided up: a select few started out with one power. They would then be given out randomly at the beginning of every night phase, for use by the next phase. The number of powers given out was proportional to how many players were alive: I divided by 5 and rounded up. Then I numbered a list and got that many numbers from random.org, and I used another random number for each to decide what the power was. Each mafioso and Chuck Norris had double the chance to get a power. Meta-Ridley had triple chances to compensate for his being alone with bad odds.

Later I had to tweak this when the mafia were getting wrecked. By this new system, the mafia were removed from the list and were guaranteed a power every night. I also had it set up so that if Meta-Ridley either died or completed his victory conditions and left the ship, there would be another serial killer to take his place. On the night after Meta-Ridley’s death, I randomly assigned the Omega Weapon ability to someone- and johnhughthom, the lucky winner, was transformed into a new serial killer, Gorea.

Of course, with this set-up, the split town would need a reason to tolerate being in the same room with each other and not deliberately be out to kill each other from the start. Ideally, that would be the mentality of many players, but there would be some who saw an advantage in killing ALL mafia. So there were a small number of incorruptible heroes. Through this, the concept of a leader for each faction who was a lynch director came to mind. Admiral Dane was obviously the GF leader. His IDFH counterpart I decided would be Captain Falcon, and then- I had a crazy thought. Both of these characters had been the subject of internet memes- namely, their names were placed in front of Chuck Norris jokes instead of the bearded wonder himself. So I decided, wouldn’t it be funny if Falcon and Dane were the same person the whole time – none other than Chuck Norris! If Chuck Norris was defeated and left the Olympus, the subordinates to Dane and Falcon- Link and Adam Malkovich- would take over. Both of these were also incorruptible heroes, but they were not unified. If they were killed, then there would be survivalists in charge of each faction, and things would have devolved very quickly from there.

I did figure out that it was kind of ridiculous to expect every basic townie to survive in order to win. So I found a way around that, my deliberate lie number one: survivalists were told they had to survive to win up until the point that they died. This would simulate them actually acting in the interests of their own safety, without condemning the majority of the players to lose the game. After every survivalist died, their victory conditions changed to the normal townie ones. When I had to make replacements, it got into a sketchy area, but I asked them not to reveal what they had learned.

For all intents and purposes, the mafia were very overpowered. At any given point in this game the only people with more than a 20% chance to resist a mafia attack were Chuck Norris and Link with his unique Mirror Shield. But their strength in this game relied on making good long-run decisions. They were told they had to kill the other family, yes, but they fell into the trap of trying to do it immediately at the outset of the game. The Phazon team was crippled by the Bowser team by a lucky N1 scan, and as a result there were less kills at night and pressure was taken off of the town. The town was able to sit back with lynches to spare, and a string of anti-town roles was exposed and killed so quickly that they had no incentive to factionalize. Had the game continued with 5 kills per night and both families continuing to recruit, this game would have had a VERY different outcome. The town would because of the death rate and would have been much more likely to align themselves with their respective mafia families instead of themselves. Then it would have ended in a late-game showdown between the two families and possibly even Meta-Ridley. This could have very easily been the true “divided town” that TinCow craved so much, but random chance and a couple of easy-to-make mistakes ensured that the town had the edge for the majority.

I have droned on for a very long time, but I think there are just two enigmatic roles left for me to go into, and then I’m done. Don’t quote me on that.

The first is Meta-Ridley. I wanted him to be a serial killer, but realized it would be way too difficult for him to compete with two recruiting cults and only one action per night. I didn’t want to give anyone more than one action per night, for simplicity’s sake. So I gave him options. He could be your classic serial killer, or he had the other option of killing two specific people and then jumping ship. The catch was that these specific people were the heads of the mafia families, Samus and Dark Samus. Not an easy task to be sure, but he started off with an action investigation ability when only the mafia and a select few townies had actions. Meta-Ridley had the advantage of essentially being able to lay low and unnoticed for the entire game (in the write-ups at least) until he decided he knew who he had to kill. Despite my warning in the opening write-up, nobody caught on that he existed in the game until his scaly mug appeared in a night-kill. If Meta-Ridley managed against all odds to kill both Samuses, he would get a major victory and get to leave the game right there. Or, he could go double or nothing and try to survive till the end for Total Victory. So yeah, you could say there are some similarities with Bane Anded right there.

And how fitting that ATPG should be randomly cast as the dragon! I was ecstatic, because not only would it ensure I had an interesting player to try my interesting dynamic, but it would probably be a challenge for ATPG, too. Because the best way to play Meta-Ridley, at least from my perspective, was not to play the supertownie, but to be sneaky and deceptive. Though Meta-Ridley started with an Energy Tank, it would be important to remember he was only a single lynch away from death. When ATPG appeared in both mafia quicktopics, I knew that he was definitely going high-risk, high-reward. If ATPG had realized they were the mafia before they realized he was Meta-Ridley, he would have had all of the reward. But again, they found him out and (this time rightly so) did not hesitate to reveal him to the town for the lynch.

The other role was King Dedede. If I had to compare him to something, I’d say he’s roughly analogous to the Cleopatra role in Rubicon (which I played… seeing a pattern here? :laugh4:). Basically he was the “true” survivalist. Dedede could win with anyone, provided he survived- the united town, Team Bowser, Team Phazon, or even Meta-Ridley if he went super-serial killer. The only player he couldn’t win with was Gorea, who was literally out to kill EVERYTHING.

And now I need to break that promise to talk about unique abilities. Samus, Dark Samus, Meta-Ridley, and Chuck Norris all had a unique 100% kill ability that they could randomly acquire- basically all the same but with different names. I later expanded this to Pikachu to give pevergreen a chance once he became the last man standing. Chuck Norris also had two more unique abilities. He started with Omniguard, which he could use to protect either himself or another player from anything except for said aforementioned 100% kills (this was the only protection ability in the game). The other was Chuck’s personal countermeasure against Corruption- Beard Control. Chuck used his own corruption to make people incorruptible townie heroes. In-game, landlubber got this ability very late, and only used it once: on Csargo. There were two more unique townie abilities: Link’s Mirror Shield, which defended against Fire, Ice, and Light, and Gandrayda’s Metamorph, which let her copy abilities without stealing them.

On the mafia side, there were the Varia and Phazon Suits that started on Samus and Dark Samus and were passed to subsequent leaders if necessary- this was the kill-ability-steal-ability. Each of them also had Corruption, which did NOT transfer to minions upon death. They could each only have up to two minions at a time, to keep them from creating an army on converts. Finally, one minion in each family had a unique ability. Cloud on Dark Samus’s side had Overdrive, which let him kill either a player who voted to lynch him or whoever killed him. This was much less subtle than Doopliss’s ability, but I’d argue just as useful, for the following reasons. On the chance Cloud gets lynched, tough luck. But if Cloud gets killed at night, then one way or another he is killing someone immediately dangerous to the family- a Samus minion, or Meta-Ridley, or Chuck Norris, or Gorea, or a vigilante. I will give the caveat that Doopliss’s Doppelganger ability is probably a lot cooler and more fun to use, if not more useful. Basically it let him manipulate his own role PM to suit his purposes; Diamondeye didn’t take nearly as much advantage of this as I thought he would. But at the same time, good for him, because he was victim to deliberate lie number two. Doopliss was told he had defense against ANY investigation, but in reality an X-Ray Visor would see straight through his cover role just like any other Mafioso. So theoretically Doopliss could think he was protected and invite a scan on him- only to find himself caught by his own trap. No townie ever got the X-Ray Visor, though, so it never happened.

And that is really all that I can think of right now. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. I know this commentary was rather large, but I know I missed something. I will post the role PMs tomorrow, as soon as I can figure out how to format it somewhat elegantly.

Re: [Council of Villains] A State of Corruption: Information Thread

Outlines for Alternate Endings

Another great idea I have stolen from ATPG. :clown:

This is what would have happened if the game turned out differently.

Hero Victory but Chuck Norris is defeated:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Victory Theme
The GF and the IDFH defeat all of the killers, but without Chuck Norris to unify them, they are still distrustful of each other. The GFS Olympus is unable to conquer the Space Pirate homeworld, the alliance is shattered, and the IDFH withdraws from the Metroid dimension entirely. The IDFH is able to concentrate on other dimensions and the GF eventually subdues the Space Pirates, but there is no unified force powerful enough to oppose the villains and their doomsday machines. The crew of the GFS Olympus has remained a Council of Villains in the end, living up to the title of the game.

Bowser Victory with GF Survivors:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Victory Theme
Bowser’s forces take complete control of the GFS Olympus. Dark Samus and her Phazon are completely destroyed, as is the IDFH crew. If Samus and Peach have been defeated, they are re-corrupted by surviving Bowser team members. Samus declares herself Admiral and if there are any surviving GF forces, they swear loyalty to her. Samus proceeds to conquer the Space Pirate homeworld and returns to Federation space as a hero, where she quickly becomes something analogous to a dictator supported by the people. The Galactic Federation becomes another puppet state in Bowser’s great empire, and the IDFH is forced to abandon the Metroid dimension.

Phazon Victory with IDFH Survivors:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Victory Theme
Dark Samus’s Phazon-corrupted warriors take complete control of the GFS Olympus. If she was killed, her minions revive her with the Phazon Suit in the Quarantine Bay. Samus, Peach, and Kirby are corrupted by the Phazon and the rest of her team is killed. If there are any surviving IDFH forces, Dark Samus reveals herself to them, and when they try to negotiate with her she corrupts them all. Using her new army of corrupted heroes and the massive vault of Phazon in the Quarantine Bay, she conquers and corrupts the entire Space Pirate homeworld as well. Dark Samus’s horde is now a force to be reckoned with, and it pushes the Galactic Federation to the verge of collapse, while the IDFH is pushed out of the Metroid dimension entirely.

Major Meta-Ridley Victory:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Meta-Ridley is able to kill both Samus and Dark Samus personally, and satisfied with that he leaves the GFS Olympus before the trial ends. No matter who winds up winning out of the remaining players, Meta-Ridley has had time to return to the Space Pirate homeworld and fortify it so that when the GFS Olympus arrives, they are unable to conquer it. Meta-Ridley and the Space Pirates remain a major force in the Metroid dimension.

Total Meta-Ridley Victory:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Victory Theme
Meta-Ridley kills everyone on board the GFS Olympus, and Samus and Dark Samus are dead. Only King Dedede has the potential to survive, and in that case he joins forces with Meta-Ridley. Meta-Ridley takes the GFS Olympus as his own flagship and brings it to the Space Pirate Homeworld, where he assembles a massive fleet. The Space Pirates overwhelm the Galactic Federation and crush them entirely. The IDFH is forced out of the Metroid Dimension. Meta-Ridley now has a Space Pirate Empire that rivals that of Bowser or Eggman.

Gorea Victory:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Victory Theme
Gorea kills everyone on board the GFS Olympus. Then, in a final act of rage, it destroys the spaceship itself. Gorea condenses itself back into the form of the Omega Cannon and drifts in space until it finds a settled planet (probably the Space Pirate homeworld), waiting for someone to discover it again. Then it corrupts its wielder and repeats the process until it is known by legend as the Omega Weapon, the scourge of all sentient life.

Dedede’s Personal Victory:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Dedede wins with whatever factions are still left alive at the end. If it’s the heroes, he meets up with Kirby again and decides to join the IDFH, becoming the first villain to switch sides and become a hero (as opposed to the many heroes who have already become villains- Luigi, Samus, Pikachu, etc.). If it’s Samus, then he becomes a strong ally of Bowser. If it’s Dark Samus, he is corrupted and joins the horde. If it’s Meta-Ridley, he becomes an ally of the Space Pirates. He cannot win with Gorea because Gorea is out to destroy everything.

Next up will be the ability list, followed by the roles, and finally a list of night actions if that's what you guys want.
