The Council of Villains- Summary Thread

[Chaotix]

Hey, everyone. Because the main thread now spans over 50 pages of posting, I've decided to create a new thread with all the write-ups in it for easy reference.

Please DON'T POST HERE. Save that for the game thread. This one's just for reference.

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

The Council of Villains

It was a dark and stormy night; one of those rare occasions where, in every single location in the universe, it was dark and stormy. Clouds hung over the skies of Hyrule as Link, reincarnated to destroy evil yet again, marched on to the next dungeon. Rain caused Mario and his friends to slide all over the road as they raced by in karts, with absolutely no care for the Princess Peach’s safety. And in one corner of this dark and stormy universe, a great mind was working diligently and meticulously.

Deep in the depths of a gigantic laboratory, Dr. Eggman tinkered on what would soon be his greatest invention yet. Combining the powers of a fusion reactor, a time machine, an inter-dimensional portal, and a blender would be no easy task. Thunder boomed outside, as for many hours the doctor labored on this monstrosity of a machine. Finally, a voice escaped his throat:

“Finally… it is done.” The doctor breathed heavily. He was tired, but the same old maniacal excitement was bubbling up within him.

“At last! The Dimensional Scrambler is complete! Sonic will be destroyed, and my Eggman Empire is now a reality! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

Dr. Eggman paused to catch his breath after his outburst. “Now, then, let’s fire it up and see what it can do,” he muttered as he walked over to the control panel.

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

I welcome you all to my newest mafia game, The Council of Villains. This game will have some definite similarities from my last (and first) game, The Lunar Whale. The biggest difference (aside from the game size, of course) will probably be in the style of the write-ups: the composition will remain mostly the same, but instead of the heavy, dark passages that were in the Lunar Whale, I have decided this game will have a much more humorous slant. The situation, even though we are dealing with villains here, would not do well for another serious setting.

I suppose I should tell you all a bit about the game, then. I've pretty much shamelessly ripped elements that I like from all of the mafia games that I've played in (), but the biggest similarities you'll find with this game are probably in ATPG's The Full Monty. There are a lot of similarities with that masterpiece of a game, notably:

-everyone gets a role, and many will have an ability of some sort.
-there will be multiple mafia, and perhaps a neutral role or two as well.

In the game, each player will be playing the role of a villain from a video game. I urge you all to role-play as your villain- some of them can be particularly hilarious and are practically required a roleplayer, as they will liven the game up considerably.

Here's the current list of villains. I would welcome any suggestions as well, it took me a while to find some more obscure ones. You'll notice there will be more than one villain from the more prominent series out there.

Roles:
Bowser
Wario
Count Bleck
Cackletta
Fawful
King Boo
Bowser Jr.
Dimentio
Dr. Eggman
Shadow the Hedgehog
Mephiles

King Dedede
Meta-Knight
Andross
Wolf O' Donnell
High Prophet of Truth

The Rules: This only outlines rules that are customized for this game- I'm assuming you all know the standard mafia rules, or should otherwise check the stickied mafia FAQ.

-Quoting of all pms is allowed, unless I say otherwise in a specific pm. It obviously may not be the best strategy, though...
-Vote:Abstain is allowed, although you may not Vote: No Lynch.
-The dead may post, but cannot quote or exchange pms, or reveal their roles.
-Obviously no screenshots or chatlogs... I don't think that's been allowed in any game I've played.
-Each phase lasts 24 hours, hopefully, starting with a day phase. If I am late I will add extensions, and if I find my homework () too time-consuming, I may have to make phases 48 hours.

Alright, then. Let sign-ups commence, this game will be okay to begin after either Inishmore or The Settlement ends, although I may take a few days longer for sign-ups, of course.

Additionally, which I forgot to mention before, there will probably be spoilers from the games these villains are in. Probably shouldn't be too big of a deal.

EDIT: Finally hit the 30-player benchmark. Hopefully I'll have about 5 additional friends of mine joining (splitpersonality is one), and some leftovers from the Settlement and Inishmore before the game starts on Thursday. I suppose the game can be deemed playable, now.

The Council of Villains

Arriving at the control panel, Dr. Eggman found the lever used to start the machine. Crossing his fingers for just a second before, he pulled the lever down with all of his might. He waited. A second passed, and then two. Soon enough, Eggman had counted a full minute, and still nothing happened. Finally, the doctor broke the silence, seething with rage.

“Damn it! Why doesn’t it work!? You useless piece of JUNK!”

With that last word, Dr. Eggman brought his fist down on the control panel, hard. Electricity crackled somewhere on the machine. Soon, the power lines lit up, and sparks began to light up the huge, circular arch that made up the Dimensional Scrambler’s receiver node. Eggman gasped.

“Wh-What the? It’s working now!”

Now the whole laboratory began to shake; the sheer amount of energy the machine was using caused the lights to dim and flicker several times. In the space in between the arch, a wave of colored light swirled and spiraled. The sparks were becoming larger and more numerous now. Soon, a light bulb shattered. Eggman braced himself as a powerful gale emerged from the portal that the receiver node had become. As the noise grew louder and louder, and the rumbling ever stronger, a bright white light shined, from the portal, growing so intense that for a split second nothing could be seen; and then, just as suddenly as it had started, it finished. The laboratory was much the same as before, save for a few overturned experiments and the presence of a few dozen figures in the center of the room, standing just outside the now inactive portal.

The creatures mulled about in utter confusion and chaos in the center of the room. They came in all shapes and sizes; some were humanoid, while others had a more interesting body structure. Regardless of their variance in nearly every aspect, however, was one constant trait: they all had a menacing aura about them. It was clear to Eggman: each one of these beings was a villain, one of his kind, someone who would sympathize with his situation- or kill him for bringing them into it. He would have to play his cards carefully in order to avoid being maimed as soon as he drew attention to his existence.

Fortunately, an opportunity quickly seized him the moment it appeared. Two beings, one on each side of the growing mosh pit in the center, each noticed Eggman at the same time. They rushed towards the control panel and leapt for Eggman, claws and hands outstretched. As he stepped out of the way, the two beings crashed into each other. Before they could maneuver to attack him, he placed an arm on each of their shoulders.

“Ah! Greetings, friends! I was just about to address this whole lot of dangerous figures here, but I’m having trouble getting their attention. You two look like powerful fellows. If you could just help me out with this little problem, I can enlighten all of us as to our… situation.”

The two figures looked at each other. The turtle-like being on the left, who was known as Bowser, let out a deafening roar. At the same time, the olive-skinned humanoid on the right, Ganondorf, punched the make-shift podium that was the control panel, denting it and setting off a few sparks. All the villains in the center stopped their madness and turned to look at the dented podium. Eggman began speaking.

“Hello, hello, and welcome to all of you, my friends. My name is Dr. Eggman, and I have brought you all here today for your help with something veeeery important! You see, I need all of your help in creating the greatest invention ever, the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom! It will allow me- and indeed, all of you as well, to defeat your arch-nemeses, and do whatever you wish with the dimension you hail from. I cannot do it by myself, and that is why I have brought all of your great minds and strong bodies to help me to build it. Once we have completed it, I will set it in motion, inexplicably destroy every person or thing you have ever wished to crush, and send you all back to where you came from. Sound like a fair deal?”

A chorus of cheers, roars, and creepy screeching noises filled the laboratory.

“Very well, then, I’ll have my robots show you all to your quarters, and we can discuss the matter further tomorrow; it is late, after all, although I’m sure many of you don’t sleep at night anyway! Ohohohohohoho!”

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

When they all gathered in the laboratory the next morning, there was quite a stir. In a pool of blood, in the center of the room, lay the remains of a former super villain. Dr. Eggman’s gaze hardened at the sight. The machine could have malfunctioned and brought along some unwanted guests when he hit it last night. It was Ganondorf, now, who spoke, in his deep, threatening voice.

“It seems we may have some… unfriendly visitors with us here as well. No doubt they have disguised themselves as villains like us to fit in. It’s up to us to see through their disguises, they shouldn’t be too difficult to spot. Hopefully by the end of today we’ll have found the cowards, and then we can torture them to death for their deeds. I trust all of you like to torture, yes?”

And with that, the tale of the Council of Villains begins…

Begin Day One!

I'm assuming AVSM's tally to be correct, and added ATPG's self vote onto it. I would recheck myself, but I'm late as it is and want to get the night phase started. It's a tie anyway:

Sasaki- 6 (Shinseikhaan, Gobbledygook, YLC, Boudica, greyblades, AVSM)
ATPG- 6 (Captain Blackadder, Sasaki Kojiro, pevergreen, shlin28, Ichigo, ATPG)

Little grizzly - 3 (yoyoma1910, ATPG, Lord Winter)
AVSM- 2 (Ares, Glenn)
Splitpersonality - 1 (Taka)

Abstain - 8 (Reenk, GH, White_Eyes:D, Split, little grizzly, Olavi, Jolt, Diana)

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

Day 1

At the end of the first day, the Council of Villains had come up with two suspects to lynch, but couldn’t decide between them. Also notable was the fact that several villains didn’t vote, or even proclaim that they abstained from the vote. Dr. Eggman and Ganondorf themselves were curiously absent. This left Bowser to control the Council himself- and as he would have it- everyone would have to check in each day to vote or abstain. There would be no tolerance for lazy, pasta- eating slackers. Bowser had enough of those to deal with already.

But because he was being his normal tyrannical self, Bowser managed to make a great many enemies on the first day. He was one of the two top lynch candidates, even as he continued to spout insults to all of his peers. His chief accuser, General RAAM of the Locust, was the other. The screaming match between the two continued…

"Gwahahar! This is laughable! Do you really think I, the Koopa King, the baddest of all baddies, the most villainous of all villains, could possibly be a traitor to the Council? I’m one of the leaders of this Council! Don’t make me burn you to a crisp."

"MY ONLY LEADER IS THE LOCUST QUEEN," replied RAAM in his booming voice, which was quite possibly as booming and definitely more capitalized then the Koopa King’s himself. "YOU ARE TRYING TO USURP THIS COUNCIL. MY ORDERS ARE TO CRUSH ALL USURPERS. CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!!"

"Bwahaha! You’re more of a drone then a Goomba! But I’ll play your game for the time being. Here’s the deal: let’s flip this Bowser coin I’ve got here.

"If it lands on my beautiful face, then YOU, RAAM, can be the one to take me down personally. Otherwise, it’s time for some crispy barbecued Locust! Gwahahahar! What do you say, friend?"

"THIS METHOD OF JUDGEMENT IS ACCEPTABLE."

And with that, Bowser flipped the coin, forgetting to realize that, in his own vanity, he had minted his face on both sides of the Koopa kurrency. The result was obvious.

Seeing the result, RAAM let out a booming laugh. He grasped the massive Troika minigun that had been slung over his back and began firing relentlessly at Bowser, who was less than ten yards away.

Bowser, as fast a turtle-like-creature possibly could, slid into his shell, and the steady stream of bullets merely bounced off of it. From inside the shell, Bowser’s taunts could still be heard through a muffled voice:

“Bwahaha! Is that the best you can do? Old Kammy Koopa hits harder than that. I’m practically invincible inside this shell. Nobody can harm me, not as long as I stay as awesome as I am now!”

And then, the giant, spiked shell began spinning, faster and faster. Suddenly, when all that could be seen was a green blur, the shell shot out towards the still frustratedly firing RAAM, striking him square in the chest. RAAM went flying towards the wall of the Council Chamber, striking it with a dull thud.

The villains all looked at RAAM, lying in a crumpled heap against the wall. Miraculously, he got up roaring and as powerful as ever, this time drawing a giant Boomshot, and firing its explosive ammunition straight at Bowser, still inside his shell.

This time, it was Bowser who went flying, bouncing off of the chamber walls at odd angles. The shell finally came to a rest at RAAM’s feet. Bowser slid out of it, apparently completely unharmed. Quick as a Yoshi, he shot out a claw and grasped RAAM by the neck, lifting him off of his feet. With his other claw, he crushed the Boomshot that RAAM was holding.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRRRR!"

"Listen to me, you oversized gray turd. You can’t kill me. Got it? So stop trying already. I should crush your skull in my claws right now, but you’ve proved yourself to be a true villain in my book. I’ll let you live… for now."

With that, he hurled RAAM back into the wall, and stormed out of the Council Chamber.

Day 1 has ended.
Night 1 now begins.

Please pm all night actions to me. Night 1 should be ending in around 20 hours from now, as I want to make up for time lost.

[Chaotix]

Night 1

Around midnight, a dark figure strode out of his room and began walking down the corridors of the newly-built residential quarter of Eggman’s massive laboratory. He stopped outside one of the larger rooms. There was, coming from inside, a snore so loud that it could be heard all down the hallway. The being raised his hand to the door… and it was blown off of its hinges by a powerful magical force.

The door struck Bowser square in the face as he lay on his back, sound asleep. With an angry growl, he leapt up and bathed the silhouetted figure in the doorway in flames, lighting up his face.

The fire failed to faze him, however, and he merely creased his mouth in a twisted smile. The warrior drew his ten foot long blade, and spoke.

“Hello, Bowser. I’ve come here to finish what that fool General RAAM started. Despite his pitiful weakness, he was right about you. There’s something wrong with the way you attempt to rule over all the villains… I’m going to end this “traitor” problem right here, along with your life!”

“Gwahahar! You woke me up in the middle of the night… for this? Maybe you didn’t realize that if I was the killer, I’d be out killing someone right now? Bring it on, pretty boy! I’ll tear your hair to shreds!”

The warrior raised his blade, and swiftly brought it down, but it was stopped halfway. Bowser held the sword between his hands, and the two were locked in a battle of pure strength, until a roar was heard from the other end of the hallway. A very familiar roar…

Bowser and his challenger ceased their fighting, and rushed over to the source of the noise. There, in the middle of the hallway, was General RAAM, cleaved in two, lying in a pool of his own blood.

His last words, as they drew closer, were:

“Be… behind you, Ground-walkers… at the other end… there are… more…”

As the life faded from his eyes, the two villains turned the other way to see bluish lights at the corner turning in to the next corridor.

The two villains hurried back, and saw another, clad in a yellow cap and purple overalls, running as fast as his stubby legs would carry him.

But again they were too late. Before they could reach Wario, he was struck by a massive jolt of lightning, presumably by an unseen assailant around the corner. By the time they reached Wario, he had been thoroughly electrocuted, and the assassin was nowhere to be found.

It appears that the Council of Villains will have more to worry about than a single traitor…

Day 2 Begins.

It will end approximately 24 hours from now, but I may be a little late- I am going to be gone most of tomorrow.

[Chaotix]

Day 2

As the Council of Villains struggled to find the traitors, a term which had been recently pluralized, new developments were made on the second day. For one thing, Ganondorf had returned from his mysterious absence, and added his… influence to the voting. Eggman had also returned. Many of the Villains still thought Bowser suspicious due to his dominating presence, but adding Ganondorf and Eggman to the fray had lowered the tension as the power in the room was balanced. By the end of the day, the Villains had decided on who they thought was one of the traitors: Orochi.

Orochi, the eight-headed dragon who had terrorized the nation of Nippon, was accused of creating not only the bloody, undistinguishable mess that was the first dead Villain, but also of killing either Wario or RAAM the previous night. The eight-headed dragon’s reply was this:

"But… we do not have a blade to slice someone in half with..."
"Neither could we have electrified anyone to death."
"Well, I’m not sure about-"
"Silence! Why would we choose to use your head to electrify someone when we have seven other elements to choose from?"

-snapped the Dark Dragon as he cut off the Lightning Dragon.

The villains pondered this, but it still wasn’t helping their case.

"Listen. We are as evil as can be."
"We plunged Nippon into a cursed darkness of an existence."
"Twice!"
"Besides, we were sleeping that night."
"Well, most of us, anyway."
"Shut UP."
"Yes, why don’t you just be quiet, please."
"Hey! I have just as much right to speak as- mmph!"

At this point, the Earth Dragon had clamped his jaws shut over those of the Lightning Dragon’s, silencing him. The Water Dragon continued.

"Anyway, we have proof that we were sleeping, or at least stationary in our quarters that night."
"Yes. I noticed a ghostly fellow spying on us that night, who thought he was quite invisible, although he let his guard down for a split second."
"And there he is now!"

The Fire Dragon pointed, but the ghost was too fast, and had already covered his face and disappeared by the time anyone looked.

“Gwahahar! What’s wrong, you eight-headed freak? Afraid of a few ghosts?” jeered Bowser.

“As I see this beast’s proof has either fled or was an imagined farce, we should slay him before he causes any more damage and confusion,” added the Black Knight.

The witch Gruntilda added:

“Take out all eight heads at once we should,
Else grow back two in one’s place they could.”

“There might be a problem there, as none of you can keep up with me.”

Magus then rushed Orochi, scythe drawn and with a grin on his purple face, and lunged straight at the Lightning Dragon head, easily removing it from the body. “That one was the most annoying.”

The other heads all began a frenzied attack on the Villains, pained and much dismayed by the loss of their brother. Seven more villains went on the attack and battled the other heads separately. Bowser managed to out-burn the Fire head. Gruntilda flew around on her broomstick and fired spells and terrible rhymes at the Dark Dragon until he died of her unbearable voice. With the two lead Dragons killed, all order was lost and the fight became chaos.

Count Bleck and Mewtwo, using their confusing powers in tandem, managed to down the Earth and Water heads. Chaos latched onto the Wind Dragon, silently drowning it. Eggman pulled out an old weapon, the Wrecking Egg, and smashed the Poison Dragon’s head in. Finally, King K. Rool wrestled around with the Ice Head for around ten minutes until the Black Knight finally decided to step up and sever it.

The deed was done. The Villains hoped that they had caught one of the traitors. In the meantime, it was now the traitors’ turn to strike back.

Night 2 Begins

It will end around 22 hours from now. Please send me night actions, or pms if you have night actions but aren't using them.

[Chaotix]

Oh yes. This write-up is quite huge. Two and a half hours.

Night 2

Shadow the Hedgehog walked alone down the hallway, towards the Council Chamber, a blank look on his face. Or at least, he believed he was alone, and paid little attention to his surroundings. In reality, someone lurked in the shadows behind him, all but undetectable to most eyes.

When he reached the chamber, he continued walking up to the podium at the center of the room. He mindlessly stepped over the many times decapitated body of Orochi, which the Egg-Bots seemed to be having trouble in cleaning up. The figure in the shadows moved towards the fringe of the room, and, finding a cardboard box, quickly hid himself under it. There was something about Shadow that he had noticed earlier; something wasn’t right with his behavior. Or perhaps there were a few things peculiar about his behavior…

“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Suddenly, Shadow’s blank face turned into one of pure rage. He continued screaming, sometimes unintelligibly, and the man under the cardboard box could only make out a few words:

“Grrr…… YOU! I’ll… argh... OUT of my head!”

The spy peeked out from the cardboard box. Shadow seemed to be battling with an unseen force, and was clutching his head in pain. Halfway through a cry of rage, however, his mouth stopped moving, and the same blank stare returned to his eyes. Then, he snapped his finger, and in a flash, he disappeared…

…reappearing right next to the cardboard box. He uttered a short, evil laugh, and kicked the cardboard box over, revealing a startled Big Boss. Big Boss drew his gun, only to have his wrist snapped by Shadow, who caught the gun in mid-air with his other hand as it was dropped.

Shadow lifted the gun… Big Boss sprang away, but he paid no attention to him. Instead, Shadow raised the gun to his own head.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! NO! I won’t let YOU… you FREAK!”

Shadow continued screaming and firing the gun in random directions, but just before the sixth shot was fired, his face cleared and he was as calm as before. He once again raised the gun to his the side of his head… and pulled the trigger.

Big Boss was left pondering the insanity which he had just witnessed. Shadow lay on the floor, dead, with a spatter of blood on the wall next to him. Big Boss quickly returned to the shadows and began to make his way out of the room.

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

Meanwhile… Bowser and his son, the aptly named Bowser Jr., were in a deep slumber in their quarters, to which the door had just been refitted that morning. They were, as usual, snoring so loudly that nobody else in that row could possibly sleep soundly.

This was all disrupted, however, when a Boomshot blast blew the door to smithereens. A second exploded in Bowser’s face, sending him into a dizzy stupor.
Bowser Jr. woke up with a start, startled to see what looked like a familiar face.

“Come on, ya big meanie, you can’t beat me! I’m the son of Bowser, the toughest kid around! Rawrrrrrrrr!”

Bowser Jr. zipped around the room, dodging bullets as the hulking figure switched to the Troika Minigun. Bowser, now fully awake and angered at his beauty sleep being interrupted twice so far, let out a roar. His adversary, shaken by the devastating sound, lowered his guard for a second. During this time Bowser charged straight at him, shattering him to pieces.

Bowser, looking confused, stood for a minute, pondering the situation. He then turned around, shrugging his massive shoulders. As he returned to his slumber, he muttered, “I could’ve sworn that loser was dead already…”

He didn’t notice the being that slipped away in the shadows afterwards.

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

Big Boss was still crawling back to his quarters under the cardboard box. All of a sudden, he heard maniacal laughter, and the sounds of a scuffle taking place in the hall. He cursed under his breath.

Outside the box, Big Boss heard the unmistakable sound of Meta-Knight’s voice, which was much too deep, it seemed, for his short stature. The other voice he could not place, but it kept repeating the words “BURN!” and “DIE!”

Eventually, the sounds of the fighting stopped. With a last cackle of laughter, Big Boss heard the other fighter walking away.

He lifted his box to see the charred remains of Meta-Knight, with a knife stuck in his mask, between his eyes. The grizzled spy decided against taking a peek as to what was really under that mask, and kept moving, covered by the box.

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

Magus and Sephiroth met on the roof of the laboratory. The two white-haired warriors apparently each had a bone to pick with each other, and it was Sephiroth who demanded the duel.

The night was dark and stormy once again, and their faces could only be seen during a flash of lightning. Both were cold, hard, and resolved, although Sephiroth’s had a tinge of amusement in it. The two villains exchanged words before they began the battle:

“Hmm. This place will be your grave, fool. Are you sure you want rather die in a flowery garden? It would be more in your element.”

“Silence your tongue, idiot. That’s what’s sealed your doom in the first place.”

“Ha! So you really believe you can defeat me, then? Magus, the Fiend King?”

“Prepare for your death. This will take but a minute.”

Sephiroth lunged, raising his blade, the Masamune, high over his head. With it, he outranged Magus’ scythe easily. Magus, however, would make up for this shortcoming with his superior magical strength.

He fired blasts of dark energy at Sephiroth, who dodged them easily, retaliating with his own fireballs and ice shards. Magus deflected these with his bare hands. But Sephiroth had continued moving closer to Magus, and struck with the tip of his blade. Magus barely deflected it with the blade of his scythe, which the Masamune scored a small notch in.

Magus now teleported back to where Sephiroth had been standing.

“Hmph. No more fooling around. I’ll finish this!”

He raised his hands, concentrating until they began to shake. Sephiroth stopped and watched, amused. A dark void appeared in between Magus and Sephiroth, and threatened to suck Sephiroth in with a tearing gust. Sephiroth smiled, barely encumbered by the void’s pull, and jumped.

He landed behind Magus, who instinctively turned, raising his scythe in defense. Sephiroth swung his blade, smashing the scythe into bits. He then proceeded to skewer Magus with it. Withdrawing the blade and lifting Magus with his free hand, he uttered a last remark.

“A minute and one second. Ah well, I suppose I was a little slow today.”

With the light quickly leaving Magus’ eyes, he flung the arch mage off the side of the building. He landed with a thud and a sickening crack.

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

Finally, it appeared that Big Boss had made it back to his quarters safely. He could now tell the other villains all about what he had discovered this night. Soon, the traitors, for it seemed there were now a great many of them, would be captured.

He threw off the cardboard box and attempted to open his door. He found it unlocked, although he was sure he locked it before he left…

Upon opening the door, he heard a voice from the darkness within:

“Well, look who it is… the Snake decided to return from his hunt. But it appears you haven’t caught much, have you, now? Heh heh hee…”

Blasts of ice froze his legs to the floor. With one broken wrist, he didn’t stand a chance. His mutilated corpse was found in his room the next morning…

Day 3 Begins

It will end 24 hours from now.

[Chaotix]

Day 3

There was an unusual lull in the Council this time. One would think that, after so many villains being killed the past night, the Council would be in an uproar; however, some of the most prominent villains were the ones who had been killed, and so the quieter, more collected ones were unsure of how to act. There was always the ever-obnoxious Bowser, however, and one villain who still disapproved of him. This villain, Black Shadow, voiced his concerns:

“You! You are no true villain! You strut around, talking about smashing plumbers and kidnapping princesses, but you fail to mention the one true act of villainy in this world!”

“Graha-what? You DARE to question my status as a villain? What is this true villainy, then, huh, you spandex-wearing Batman rip-off?

“Ahahahahahahaahaaaaaaaaaa! Why, but of course… it is…”

The crowd of villains braced for the revealing of this secret…

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"HIGH-SPEED RACING!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The villains looked confused. Was it true? Could high-speed racing truly be the root of all villainy?

“That’s right! Once this Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom is finished, I will use its unimaginable power to finally win the F-Zero Grand Prix! The racetrack will belong to me! And then, after that… THE WORLD!”

All of the villains stared at Black Shadow, regarding him with an odd look on their faces. Those in his immediate proximity took a few steps away. Finally, in the silence that was only broken by Black Shadow’s occasional bouts of maniacal laughter, Eggman was heard to say:

“Why is this fool still living?”

Sephiroth stepped forward.

“He isn’t. he simply doesn’t realize he’s dead yet.”

With a single stroke, he removed Black Shadow’s head from his shoulders, which rolled on the floor, still laughing, as a pool of blood formed around it. Laughing at all of the villains…

Night 3 has begun, unfortunately it will have to be a forty-eight hour phase. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I won't be doing a write-up then.

[Chaotix]

I beat my previous record- Three hours of writing plus about 20 minutes to prep the post.

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

Night 3

It was three minutes before two in the morning. Albert Wesker left his room, turned sharply around a corner, and proceeded into the maintenance areas of the laboratory.

He simply punched his way through any locked doors he encountered. After a few moments of exploring, he found what he was looking for: the room where Eggman’s robots had placed all of the dead bodies of the slain villains.

He sifted his way through the corpses, some hideously deformed by their killers. One of these such bodies was that of Big Boss. His torso had been mutilated, his other eye gouged out, his arms severely burned, and oddly enough, his legs were a bluish color, possibly from frostbite. When Wesker noticed this particular corpse, a sly grin appeared on his face. With one hand, he lifted the body, while with the other he reached into his pocket, retrieving a syringe filled with an unknown substance.

Raising his arm, he injected Big Boss’ body with the syringe. Almost immediately, changes began surfacing in the body. Mutilated and damaged tissue was beginning to repair itself.

But there was something odd about this new tissue. It was not a normal skin color, but a pale gray. And Big Boss’ body was not returning to its original form, either. Although Big Boss had been muscular in his life, the substance contained in the syringe, apparently the T-Virus, was strengthening him more so. His arms and legs became as thick as tree trunks. The arm that had been snapped in the fight with Shadow reformed itself into a large claw, with devastating talons that dripped with poison. The greatest oddity of all, however, was that neither of his eyes regrew themselves. In their place were two gaping holes.

The transformation having been complete, Big Boss awoke with a start. He could not see, but his other senses had been heightened so that he knew exactly what surrounded him. Wesker spoke:

“Ah, I see you are awake. The T-Virus has had its affect on you, making you stronger than ever. You are no longer a mere Snake, Big Boss. You are a Tyrant. A… King Cobra. Yes, I think that’s what I’ll call you. Come along, then… we have work to do.”

King Cobra nodded his head. He took his headband and pulled it over the places where his eyes were once. He pulled out a cigarette, and, using the friction and sparks produced by rubbing his talons together, lit it. He followed Wesker out of the room.

As the two left, a small shadow dropped from the ceiling and entered…

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

King K. Rool was in a deep slumber in his room. He was dreaming of monkeys… killing monkeys… and afterwards, stealing their bananas. That was all he really wanted in this life. A whole hoard of shiny bananas to put in his mouth whenever he wanted… it wasn’t fair that stupid Donkey Kong and his more stupid inbred cousins had all of the precious bananas themselves.

K. Rool’s sweet dreams were interrupted when a lightning bolt blew his door apart. Yes, a lightning bolt caused by an indoor thunderstorm. A second bolt electrified K. Rool, as a silhouette appeared in the doorway, cackling.

K. Rool, angered, pulled out his boxing gloves and charged at the figure. The assailant sidestepped easily as he attempted to belly flop anything in his path. A frosty ray then shot from the spellcaster’s fingertips, encasing K. Rool in a block of ice. The figure then saw fit to electrify the trapped lizard a few times, before finally shattering him along with the ice with a sharp kick.

All that would be left in the morning was a lizard gizzard in a puddle.

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

Sephiroth walked through the hallways, seemingly aimlessly this night. He had an annoyed look on his face that contrasted with his usual calmness and confidence.

“WHY are you following me, fool? Do you have a death wish, or something?”

The Black Knight, clanking along only a few paces behind, repeated the same answer he had given the past three times Sephiroth had asked him:

“I have an interest in keeping you alive, Silver-Haired Maiden Warrior. Thus, I will protect you for the remainder of this night.”

“Do you HONESTLY believe that someone of my power needs protecting from the likes of YOU? I could slice through your armor with a single stroke, fool.”

The Black Knight did not answer, but continued following the annoyed Sephiroth.

They continued for a while, and then the Knight suddenly stopped, and turned around. Behind him, caught off guard by his sudden turn, was a large, round ghost.

“Why are you following me?” the Black Knight demanded.

King Boo, taken aback, answered:

“Hehehe! Well, I just thought I’d investigate your actions to make sure you weren’t killing anyone. You certainly look capable of it…”

The Black Knight paused for a moment. Then he replied:

“Very well. Continue.”

And he turned, and began to follow Sephiroth again. This left King Boo very confused. More confusing was the fact that Sephiroth had stopped moving and turned to face the ghost himself.

“There you are… it appears the fool knight had a use after all…”

Swinging his blade, he slashed at King Boo. The blade passed through him, causing him no harm. At this the ghost cackled with laughter.

"Heheheheheeeeee! Better luck next time, loser. Don’t bother trying to kill me, I’m already dead!”

“Well… what if I brought you back to ‘life’?”

Sephiroth smiled his most devious smile, and removed a Phoenix Down from his pouch. He tossed the bundle of feathers straight towards King Boo. Upon contact with the Phoenix Down, a heavenly light appeared around him. The ghost screamed in pain, and when the light cleared, he was nowhere to be seen.

Sephiroth continued walking the halls, with the Black Knight behind him.

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

Bowser’s door had been through a lot in these past few days. It had been blown off its hinges, reattached, and then blasted to smithereens. Now it would endure yet more trauma, as an F-Zero racer inexplicably smashed its way through the doorframe.

Out stepped, again, what seemed like a familiar face to attack Bowser’s son. He grabbed the koopa kid by his neck, lifting him into the air, and laughing his familiar evil laugh all the time.

This was, until of course, Bowser grabbed the fool’s head between his jaws and forcibly ripped it off. As the rest of the body disintegrated, Bowser and son returned grumpily to their sleep. Bowser smashed the jaw on the severed head to stop it from laughing.

Neither of them noticed the fleeing figure in the shadows.

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

Wesker and King Cobra continued through the maintenance section of the lab, moving at a brisk pace. Soon they came to a wide-open room filled with heaps of scrap metal. They were startled, but not caught off guard, when an explosion burst in mid-air directly in front of them. Wesker so swiftly sidestepped the attack that to the naked eye he had teleported. King Cobra, likewise, had backflipped out of the way.

“BURN! DIE, FOOLS!”

A dozen fireballs shot towards them, all of them missing just slightly as the two genetically altered warriors sidestepped them. Next, a maintenance robot was hurled from behind them, knocking King Cobra over. Attacks seemed to by flying from all directions, and the maniacal laughter was everywhere. Wesker was not disoriented, however.

He pinpointed a figure in the shadows of a large pile of scrap metal, and lunged in that direction. But his enemy was even faster than him. By the time Wesker had arrived at his enemy’s position, the assassin was floating in the air, far behind him. Wesker was caught by an electric bolt fired from the assassin.

King Cobra lunged into the room and jumped towards the figure, but he floated deftly away still laughing and screaming at them. Two huge pieces of metal hurtled towards the Cobra at a startling speed. Deflecting one with minimal effort, he was nonetheless struck by the other. Sensing that this battle would not be won, even with the two of them together, the Cobra utilized a new skill, turning himself invisible and sneaking away.

Wesker did not follow his lead. He decided to continue fighting this insane fool alone. Leaping into the air, this time he managed to catch the assailant by his throat, choke-slamming him into the ground. He only continued his maniacal laughter, however, drawing a blade and stabbing Wesker through the stomach. Gasping in pain, Wesker released his grip, moving quickly backwards.

Was this… his blood? Could this fool truly have harmed him? Growling in rage, he removed the sword with a sharp tug, just as his left arm was pinned to the wall by a jagged piece of metal. Three more shards pinned his other limbs. The assailant approached, close enough that Wesker could see his face.

“I should have guessed…” he muttered.

“Now, then… DIE!!!”

The murderer bathed Wesker in a steady stream of flames. Wesker, burning alive, also burned with anger at his defeat. The murderer continued burning Wesker well past his death, until he was but a pile of ash, to ensure that the viruses inside him did not see fit to revive him.

Day 4 Begins.

It will end around 24 hours from now, perhaps a bit early.

[Chaotix]

Day 4

By the end of the day, the Council of Villains was in an uproar. The villains believed they had finally found the traitor to their ranks- or one of them, at least.

Dr. Eggman came forward with a startling claim. He had apparently watched the villain Dimentio last night, and found him taking control of King Dedede. The King Cobra further added to these claims by recounting his own story of the possessed Shadow the Hedgehog killing himself. In but a few minutes, the whole council was at Dimentio’s throat. Dimentio, however, merely smiled, as he always did.

“GRRRRRRRAAAWWWWWWWWWRRR!”

Bowser let out a triumphant roar.

“Finally, we’ve found one of them. I never suspected you, Dimentio, could possibly be a hero. What’s caused your change of heart?”

“Ah, you poor fool. You misunderstand everything, like a fat bully caught in the middle of a Calculus class! I am no hero. In fact, you’re more of a hero than me, Bowser. My only heart remains the Chaos Heart. And as such, my heart is filled with Chaos.”

“Can I tear him apart now, Eggman?”

“Oh, but wait for my explanation, first. Your haste is like that of a turtle being chased by hungry sailors. Indeed, I am a villain. The greatest villain in this room, actually. For no true villain would sacrifice his own individual power to band together with another! No, a true villain sees his chance and acts upon it like a portly gourmand to a dessert buffet!”

The crowd of villains was utterly confused by Dimentio’s cryptic similes, but kept listening.

“Allow me to continue. I was not brought to this place by your fool machine, Dr. Eggman. I sensed its pull like a fishhook embedded in a sea bass’s mouth, but was able to resist it, because I am the master of Dimensions. But when I sensed the power radiating from this laboratory, I decided to investigate myself.

“When I arrived, I saw only opportunity. There was no “Council” of villains to share in the power. This power would be all mine, the power that I have dreamt of since my plans were foiled by a certain plumber, princess, and giant turtle…

“Once I had dealt with you all, like an exterminator placing cheese on his mousetraps, I would take this unimaginable power for myself, and use it to create my own perfect Dimension, and to destroy all of the others! Is that not, my friends, the work of a true villain?”

Eggman was enraged.

“Oh, you’re a villain all right, but that doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to remain in MY council! I’ll destroy you right now before you can cause any more trouble!”

Eggman pulled out a powerful looking laser gun, aiming it at Dimentio.

“Don’t you fools ever learn? Like the best of summer barbecues, I always have a backup plan in case the future looks cloudy. The Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom isn’t complete just yet, but it should give me enough power to completely destroy you all! Ciao!”

Before Eggman could fire the gun, he was tackled by King Dedede, who it seemed the villains had forgotten in all the confusion.

Mewtwo used his Psychic abilities to free Dedede from further mind control, but by that time Dimentio had already teleported out of the room.

The villains rushed out of the Council Chamber and through the hallways, to the construction sector of the laboratory. When they had arrived, Dimentio had already started up the weapon, and was standing in front of its immense energy release lens. The weapon fired straight into Dimentio, sending all of its energy into his body.

When the weapon had finished firing, Dimentio was glowing with power…

“Ahahaahaha! And now, it appears the joke is on you, foolish Council of Villains! It’s time for me to show you my true power, like a sadistic child standing over an anthill with a magnifying glass!”

Dimentio shook for a moment in the air… and then began multiplying. In a matter of seconds, there were a few dozen Dimentio clones, all as powerful as the original. Then they began teleporting and attacking each villain individually.

The battle turned into utter chaos, which was just what Dimentio had intended for. Except… he was in control of the chaos. A few Dimentio clones fell to some of the stronger villains, but it did not matter. He would overwhelm them, eventually…

Eggman, however, had other plans. He rushed over to the machine’s control panel, protected by Ganondorf and the Black Knight. He moved the release lens so that it pointed directly at Bowser, in the center of the fighting. Crossing his fingers, he fired the laser.

Bowser grew to three times his normal size. His horns curved, and his fangs and claws grew viciously sharper. He was now Giga Bowser. He let out a deep, sinister laugh. With a single swipe, he destroyed the three Dimentio clones surrounding him.

With Giga Bowser’s help, all of the Dimentio clones were destroyed, leaving only the true one. He remained as frivolous as always, not showing any fear.

“Ah, well. It appears my time is up. But, like any warrior in his dying breath, I will not go down without a final blow. No, indeed, I think I’ll take you with me, Bowser, my hated enemy.”

With that, Dimentio warped himself next to Bowser, projecting an impenetrable force field around them.

“Ciao, everybody!”

Inside the force field sounded massive explosions, so numerous that no one could see either of the villains inside. The explosions continued for a full minute. When the smoke cleared, Dimentio was gone. But Bowser still remained. He groaned, and shrunk back to his normal size. He fell over, passing out, but he was still alive.

A troop of Eggman robots carried Bowser off to his room, where he slept soundly. But there were still some who wouldn’t be sleeping this night, despite the absence of Dimentio…

Night 4 Begins.

It'll be shorter than usual. Ends at 7:00 GMT - 5 or so.

[Chaotix]

Night 4

“Bleck…”

Count Bleck hovered in his room, contemplating the events that had taken place that evening. Dimentio had, at one point in time, been his minion. And even though the psychotic jester had betrayed him and killed him that time- and indeed, had betrayed the whole council this time- Bleck could not help but feel kind of sympathetic for him. Bleck was a simple man. He desired nothing but the destruction of the dimension that had taken everything away from him. And so Bleck could feel for his former minion, in a way.

He certainly did not believe they had seen the last of Dimentio… although, he doubted that he would return to this place again. Bleck’s thoughts were interrupted quite abruptly by maniacal laughter directly behind him.

“DIE!!!”

Count Bleck was engulfed in flames, and fell to the ground. His assailant kept kicking him as he rolled around in pain, giggling insanely the whole time. Bleck managed to float away, but it was dark and he couldn’t see well. He shot a few energy blasts, but from the sounds of his enemy, all of them missed. The next thing Bleck felt was a blade sliding through him, protruding from his back. The insane assassin set him on fire again for good measure, and left the room, laughing.

A final word was heard, as the life drained out of Count Bleck:

“Bleck…”

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

Sephiroth met the dark knight, Golbez, on the roof of Eggman’s laboratory.

It was at this same place that he had slain Magus, the fiend king. Now he had a new toy to play with… but Golbez would put up a fight, at least, hopefully…

“So… you have called me here to kill me?”

“Hmm… how could you possibly have guessed?”

“I think you will find that I am much more powerful than you anticipated. I will show you no mercy when you are groveling at my feet. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Sephiroth said nothing, but a twisted smile grew across his face. He drew his huge sword, the Masamune. Golbez, his night-black armor glistening in the moonlight, drew his as well.

The two warriors clashed with each other. Sephiroth was indeed surprised at the strength that Golbez displayed… this fight would actually be a challenge for him.

Although Sephiroth’s blade outranged Golbez’s, he made up for it with his own magical protection. It would take more than just a sword blow to penetrate his armor. The duelists swung their blades over and over, but neither could seem to catch the other off guard. Finally, Sephiroth saw an opening and struck…

But his blade, repelled by Golbez’s magic, bounced off of his armor. Golbez took the opportunity to slash at Sephiroth, causing a shallow cut just under his cheekbone.

Sephiroth’s rage surged.

“You will pay… dearly.”

He moved backwards, and began preparing a spell. Golbez did the same, his own smile hidden underneath his helmet.

Golbez was the first to strike.

“Meteor!”

As soon as he spoke the word, a huge meteor appeared high up in the night sky, hurtling at Sephiroth. Sephiroth waited… and waited until the meteor was just about to strike. And then…

“Mega Flare!”

A gigantic energy beam shot forth from Sephiroth’s hands, destroying the meteor in front of him, and continuing on to blast Golbez. Golbez fell to his knees, stunned, but apparently surviving the blow. Sephiroth took his chance.

He teleported next to Golbez, raising his blade in the air.

“And now… you die.”

Sephiroth brought down his sword.

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

The security room was quiet. Both Dr. Eggman and the Black Knight were silent in their work- one was investigating a certain villain, by means of his security cameras, while the other stood guard at the door.

A cackle of laughter broke the silence.

A figure dropped from the ceiling. The Black Knight drew his blade immediately, stepping between the figure and Eggman. Eggman was less calm.

“Don’t just stand there, fool! Kill him! Kill him before he kills me!”

But the figure gave him little chance. It fired several lightning bolts at the Knight, which he just barely managed to deflect. The figure stopped for another laugh. The Knight discharged the lightning he had stored within his blade, and then took a swipe at him.

The figure avoided the sword by a hair’s breadth, but must have realized that it wouldn’t be killing anyone that night, because it fled, jumping through a ceiling duct.

“Idiot! You let him get away!”

The Black Knight ignored Eggman’s words. He bent over, and picked up a thin, wiry object from the floor. He could have sworn it looked like mustache hair.

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

Ridley did not sleep during the night. He had no need for sleep. He was a giant, deadly space dragon. All he had do to was fly around and kill things. Tonight, he was flying around the sky, outside the laboratory. He noticed the two foolish swordsmen fighting on the roof, but it didn’t really interest him. Nothing, really, had interested him so far. Until tonight, however…

A large spear of energy blasted Ridley in the face. From below him, a dark, hedgehog-shaped figure flew towards him. Ridley did not like this.

“SCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!!!!”

He began shooting fire balls from his mouth, and clawing at the insolent little warrior. His enemy, however, merely flew around at a high speed, easily avoiding his attacks.

The hedgehog, silent, flew towards Ridley, grabbing him by the neck. With a single, deft motion, he snapped the dragon’s neck, leaving him to fall the thousand or so feet between him and the ground. Before his death, Ridley forgot to ponder the fact that hedgehogs couldn’t fly.

When Eggman saw the dead dragon in the morning, he was dismayed.

“What a shame! An absolute shame, to lose a being this powerful. I’ll have to find some way to…”

The doctor trailed off, mumbling. The villains began discussing their next suspect…

Day 5 Begins

[Chaotix]

Day 5

There had been much heated debate today inside the Council Chambers. Once again, the Villains had no clear suspect to kill, and so they began questioning those who were acting particularly “un-villain-like”.

At the end of the day, there were two main suspects who were considered by Bowser and his Koopa Troop to be not evil enough to be villains. These were, respectively, Ganondorf, the King of All Evil, and Giygas, the Root and Creator of All Evil.

None of the villains for one moment considered the titles of either suspect. They were both, undoubtedly, the least evil of all of the villains there. After all, Bowser himself had said so.

However, the villains could not decide on either candidate, and in the end, it came down to a tied vote. King Cobra, who had mutated even further in the past few days (his grayish skin had become scaly, and his huge claw transformed into the head of a snake, complete with venom-dripping fangs and slivers for eyes), broke the tie and it was decided to kill Giygas.

“Gwahahar! Alright, then, it’s settled. Ganondorf, why don’t you do the honors for us, and prove your villainy? Behead this stupid alien-thing for us!”

Ganondorf looked embarrassed for a moment.

“Well… I would. I mean, I AM the King of All Evil… but…

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I forgot my sword again!
Oh, how I am forever doomed to remain a clone of Captain Falcon!

Besides, I’m not even sure if it’s technically possible to “behead” and swirling ephemeral cloud of darkness and hatred…”

Ganondorf trailed off, despondent. But after a moment he had regained his usual composure.

“I suppose it is of no consequence, then. This will have to suffice.”

Ganondorf locked his fist, preparing to strike.

Giygas did not struggle. It could not struggle. It was a dark spirit, dedicated to the preservation of evil. If its own destruction might ensure that the evil ones lived to burn, rape, and pillage another day, then it would give itself up. Besides, Giygas could never really be killed… there would always be hatred and jealousy where sentience was.

“FALCON PAUN- MMROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Ganondorf’s fearsome Warlock Punch caused the cloud that was Giygas to disintegrate and disappear.

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

After the gruesome killing, Dr. Eggman stepped up to the podium.

“Well… now that our daily traitor lynching is over, I’d like to introduce a new event that we’re holding here in the laboratory. You see… there are quite a few villains who still feel indifferent to the cause of the Council, and haven’t been participating in helping us lately. Bowser, Ganondorf, and I have decided to provide a little extra… incentive to help out. So that’s why we’ll be introducing a brand new little game for all of those who aren’t completely convinced to participate.”

The Villains listened intently, waiting to hear about this new game. Eggman continued.

“Every night, we will choose, randomly, anywhere from zero to three villains who haven’t felt the need to help us out in finding the traitors. Then, those villains will get a fabulous prize from the Council! And to help me out with this task, I’ll now introduce my latest, greatest invention: The Egg Dealer 2.0!”

“First up, let’s find out who our lucky contestants are!”

Eggman pulled the lever. The slots began rolling… and then stopped, revealing a certain villain:

“Aha! It appears Dark Samus is our lucky lady for today! And now for the prize!”

Eggman started the reel going again. This time the slot reel stopped on three pictures of what looked like missiles.

“Lucky you, Dark Samus! Get ready for Missile Fever!”

Panels opened up on the side of the Egg Dealer. From each panel, a missile shot, targeted directly at Dark Samus. In a matter of seconds, there were Phazon bits everywhere.

“Well, that’s it for today, folks! Join us tomorrow for another round of Wrath of Slots!"

Night 5 Begins, Finally

[Chaotix]

Night 5

Eggman, tonight, was deep in the depths of his dank, dark laboratory. He appeared to be working on something… something very important. He seemed to be attaching mechanical parts to a conspicuously dragon-like figure.

As usual, the Black Knight stood guarding the mad doctor during his work. He waited, motionless, for any threat to pose itself.

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

Wolf O’ Donnell sat at the desk in his room, tinkering with his mercenary-standard Claw Blaster gun. Using the new technology he had found in this laboratory, he thought he might be able to increase its firepower. He was, however, no expert in mechanics or engineering. It appeared, at the very least, that he had fitted his gun with an extra electric charge that could stun an enemy briefly, in case he was caught off guard.

As it happened, he was ironically caught off guard when his door was kicked down with sheer force. Startled, he quickly picked up the Blaster and fired it. The silhouette in the doorway avoided the blast easily. There would be no easy escape for Wolf, it seemed.

The silhouette laughed at him.

“Is that-a the best you can-a do? That-a disguise was annoying me… but I guess I’ll have-a no trouble beating you without it!”

The dark figure leapt the six yards between the doorway and Wolf, kicking him directly in his snout. Wolf fell backwards in pain, growling.

“Maybe you should-a do a barrel roll next time!”

Wolf fired his gun again, from the floor, but his enemy avoided the shot Matrix-style. He then lunged upwards, thrusting with the sharp claw bayonet attached to it. The dark figure caught his wrist as he did so, and proceeded to fling Wolf backwards over his head.

Wolf smashed into the wall of his room. He struggled to get up as the dark figure approached again. This time, the enemy left him no chance, burying him in a flurry of punches. While Wolf was dazed from the blows, the figure seized him by his legs. He then began spinning, faster and faster, swinging Wolf by his feet. Finally, he uttered another phrase, in mockery of the mercenary:

“So long-a, Wolf!”

The shadowy figure let go. Wolf went flying into the opposite wall, snapping his neck and cracking his skull through the force of the impact. The assassin left the room, chuckling to himself.

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

As Eggman continued working, the Black Knight noticed a mysterious presence… two mysterious presences, in fact. He drew his blade, ready for an assault at any moment. The dread knight was not someone to be trifled with lightly…

From the left sprung Sephiroth, his long blade held over his head. The Knight was surprised at his enemy, but not startled. Masamune and Alondite, the two warriors’ swords, were held in a deadlock, neither blade capable of damaging the other.

Eggman, behind the Knight, was shocked and confused.

“Sephiroth! What do you think you’re doing? We are all allies, aren’t we?”

“Hmph… this one annoys me. He shall die.”

“Argh! So, you’re going to betray me now, too?”

“Betray you? I wasn’t taking orders from you, fool. I’m killing these weaklings because my enemies are among them, not because you tell me to. Did you honestly think I would take orders from anybody? I’m the most powerful villain here. Nobody can tell me what to do, fool!”

Throughout the whole conversation, the Black Knight remained silent. He was still held in a deadlock with Sephiroth, and neither side seemed to be winning.

That is, until the second presence the Black Knight had detected made itself known. The dark figure, seeing its chance, swept in from the right, wielding a blade of its own, and, cutting straight through his armor, cleaved the Black Knight in two.
The shadow kept moving, darting back into the shadows. Sephiroth, enraged, chased after it. The two vanished out of sight.

Dr. Eggman looked solemnly at the body of the Knight, which had been severed through the waist.

“If only… and I was just putting on the finishing touches, too…”

Then his face lightened up as his thoughts progressed.

“Ah, well. In a matter of minutes, I’ll have someone else to replace him!”

Eggman finished welding into place the last section of armor over the heart of the creature he was working on. Then, starting up a nearby generator, he sent an electric shock through the being’s body. Its burning red eyes sprang to life.

It quickly and easily broke free of the chains holding its limbs in place. It opened its mouth, letting out a roar that was three times as loud as it ever had been.

“SCRRRREEEEEEEEECHHROOOOOOAAAAARRRR!”

Meta Ridley had been born.

Day 6 Begins

[Chaotix]

Day 6

The next day started off promptly with Sephiroth being accused of treason against the Council, for attempting to kill a perfectly villainous villain, the Black Knight. Sephiroth’s only response was this:

“And I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for that meddling shadow, and his little sword, too!”

The villains decided that Sephiroth, being very evil himself, had probably killed the Black Knight because he believed there was something hidden underneath that armor. And besides, with his snide comments, he had sparked the villains with an idea.

Who among the villains was a shadowy figure, and fought with a sword? With the Black Knight dead, there was only one other villain who fit the category: Nightmare. Bowser and the other villains, one by one, began to call for Nightmare’s head- and perhaps his soul, too.

But Nightmare was nowhere to be seen… searching the laboratory relentlessly, they found him in the garbage disposal room, where all of the dead villains had been disposed of. He was huddled over one of the bodies.

“Gwahahahar! There you are, you soul-eating creep! Time to die, traitor!”

Nightmare was surprised. His red eyes flashed from beneath his helmet.

“Wh-Wha? Me, a traitor? All I want are SOULS! I NEED MORE SOULS! And there are… err… SOULS still left in these bodies here. So… GO AWAY!”

“Nobody tells Bowser to go away! I’ll come and go where I please, you puny fool! Now I’ll stomp you flat for your insolence!”

Bowser charged straight at Nightmare, tackling him into the wall. Both villains quickly got to their feet afterwards. Bowser was preparing to char-broil Nightmare, but stopped when he began shaking.

Or, more accurately, his armor was shaking. In a matter of seconds, the armor had collapsed into a heap. The dark sword Soul Edge disappeared with a puff of smoke. And inside the armor had not been a powerful, muscular swordsman. No, what stood on top of the heap of metal strongly resembled a pink balloon.

“Uh-oh…” were the only words Kirby uttered, then he leapt into the air, kicking Bowser as he jumped off of his head, landing on the other side of the room. He struck a comical fighting stance.

The villains, shocked at this scene, began laughing hysterically. Then, they realized that this little puffball had been killing them off one by one, and became enraged.

Kirby wouldn’t give them a chance to strike, however. He quickly searched for the closest body to him, that of Wolf, and inhaled it. Swallowing it, he underwent a transformation. To the villains’ eyes, if they hadn’t known it was Kirby, they could’ve sworn Wolf had risen from the dead. The resemblance was nearly identical:

Wolf Kirby began firing his Claw Blaster rapidly, striking a villain with nearly each shot. The stun capability that Wolf had installed just before his death now took effect on the villains. Kirby sped out of the room and down the hallway, but only a few villains were still able to follow.

He soon reached the Council Chambers, and would make his last stand here. Bowser, Ganondorf, Meta-Ridley, and Mephiles were the only ones who managed to follow him without being stunned.

“GRAWR! That’s it, you little cream puff, I’m gonna make lunch out of you!”

Bowser ran, dove, and withdrew into his spiny shell, sliding towards Kirby at a high speed. Kirby, however, did not dodge, but braced for impact. He stopped the huge shell in place as it slid into him. Pausing for only a second, he leapt high into the air, bringing Bowser back down into a devastating pile-driver. Bowser rolled a few yards away, groaning and dizzy. Kirby followed up with three stun blasts to the face from his gun.

The other villains, realizing they should probably fight him all at once, now rushed Kirby. Meta-Ridley grasped the puffball with his steel talons, raising him high into the air. As the cyborg dragon hurled him towards the floor, Mephiles fired a spray of dark crystal shards at him. Finally, before Kirby touched the ground, Ganondorf hit him with a full force punch, sending him flying into a wall.

The Wolf disguise popped off of Kirby in the form of a star as he hit the wall. But Kirby wasn’t done just yet. Sensing the weakest link, he lunged towards Mephiles, swallowing him whole.

Mephiles Kirby, covered in deadly crystal spines, now struck at Ganondorf. Meanwhile, a connection formed in Meta Ridley’s mind.

It must have been Kirby that killed him just a few nights ago… only he could have impersonated Shadow the Hedgehog and flown at the same time… now, Meta Ridley would have his revenge. And there would be no revival for his hated foe; that he would make sure of.

By the time the dragon had snapped to reality, Kirby had knocked out Ganondorf, and was advancing on him. Meta Ridley, filled with seething rage, grabbed Kirby again with his talons and began bathing him in flames. Afterwards, he started chewing on Kirby with his razor-sharp teeth. Kirby, burned and wounded, seemed to be unconscious by now.

With a flip of his neck, Meta Ridley flung Kirby into the air, catching him again in his jaws. Kirby disappeared down Meta Ridley’s throat… and did not return.

Bowser once again was hurt, but not killed, and had to be carried back to his room. It was doubtful he would wake up for anything during the night.

Night will end around 9:30PM GMT-5 tomorrow. Please have your orders finalized by then.

[Chaotix]

Night 6

Sephiroth strode down the halls of the laboratory, searching for something. On previous nights, he had known exactly where his prey would be. However, finding his target’s room empty, he took to searching the rest of the laboratory.

After some time, Sephiroth came to a hallway with a large puddle in the center. Not noticing it, he stepped straight into it, splashing water all over his knee-high boots. Annoyed, he continued down the hallway. Then he stopped. He turned and looked at the puddle. There was no leak from the ceiling, no burst pipeline, nothing that might have caused the puddle to appear in the first place. The familiar twisted smile creased Sephiroth’s face.

Rasing his hand, he fired a freezing ray at the puddle. Stepping up to it, he then stomped on it, shattering it into thousands of pieces. The shards of ice quickly melted into water again, and moved towards a spot in the center of the hallway, reforming into a humanoid shape.

Chaos stretched out his watery arms, punching Sephiroth in the face.

“So, you’re actually capable of defending yourself. What a shock.”

Sephiroth drew his blade. Rushing up to Chaos, he retaliated with a flurry of slashes, each one tearing a chunk of liquid off of Chaos’ body. When he was done, there were water droplets splattered all throughout the hallway.

“Hmph. Too easy.”

Sephiroth left the hallway, satisfied. Only after he had disappeared did the droplets begin moving. They reformed again into a large puddle, which slithered off to the other end of the hall.

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

Dr. Eggman was back in the surveillance room tonight, investigating the villains once again. However, instead of the deceased Black Knight guarding him, he had a different bodyguard.

Meta Ridley stood at the entrance, red eyes burning, and allowing no one to enter.

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

Instead, down in the laboratory was Dr. Wily. He was vastly annoyed at having never been called on to help retool Ridley’s dead body. Although he had also been working on the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom, he had decided he needed something else to do.

So Wily was using spare parts to try and build himself a few robots- he would show Dr. Eggman that he was just as mad a scientist as the one who had brought them here. His robots would outclass Eggman’s mass-produced consumer models in every way.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Wily looked around. He couldn’t tell where the voice had come from, but it certainly couldn’t have had good intentions. He tried to hide in a corner, shouting at his robots.

“Concrete Man! Magma Man! Tornado Man! Defend MEEEEEEEEEEE!”

The three robots took up defensive positions around the mad doctor.

“BURN!”

A massive fireball flew out of nowhere, blowing Tornado Man to bits. The other two robots looked at each other nervously.

“SCREAM!”

A figure dropped from the ceiling onto Concrete Man. It punched straight through the robot’s back and into its circuitry. Ripping out crackling electrical wires with its bare hands, it shoved them straight into Magma Man’s face. The two remaining robots were stunned, being electrocuted in a deadly circuit.

“DIE!”

The figure jumped onto the ground. Holding up its hands, it shot two fireballs. The robots exploded. The figure commenced into maniacal laughter again.

Dr. Wily now revealed himself, shaking with madness.

“NOOOOO! My beautiful robots! YOU! I’ll make you pay for this!”

Grabbing an oversized wrench, Wily charged straight at the figure… and ran into the dagger held out in front of him. The assassin shoved the dagger in deeper, twisting it as he did so. Then he kicked Wily to the ground and set him on fire. He walked away from the carnage, laughing.

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

The Count Dracula strolled down to the waste disposal room. It was time for him to “exercise” the old fangs…

He stopped by the body of the Black Knight, still wearing his armor, and cleaved in two.

“So… vis iz the vun… vey vant me to vring… vack to life!”

Readying his fangs, he reached down and tried to remove the Knight’s terrifying helm.

“It appears… vat it iz stuck.”

Putting a foot on the Knight’s chest, Dracula pulled on the Knight’s helm with all of his might. Finally, it popped loose. Unfortunately, the Knight’s head came with it.

“Drat! Vell, how am I supposed to turn vis into a vampire, then? He iz not in possession ov a neck for me to vite!”

Dracula pondered this predicament for a while.

“Very vell. Iv I cannot make him a vampire, then, I vill use a divverent method. I vill use za power… ov CRYPTIC METAPHOR!”

The Count used his dark magic to reanimate the corpse of the Black Knight… minus the head. The two halves of his body reunited themselves. Standing up, the Headless Knight seemed to have no problem moving around. Occasionally he bumped into a doorway, but he would still be just as useful as he was before.

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

The puddle continued its way through the laboratory, stopping outside a door. It slithered under it and into the room beyond.

Before it could change shape, however, a dark figure, previously unseen, stomped on it.

“Just-a where do you think you’re-a goin’, eh?”

The puddle attempted to swirl up the dark assailant’s leg, but he just kicked it off. The puddle, landing with a splat on the wall, returned to its original shape.

“Heh… you know, I have to deal with leaks and puddles all the time. What makes you think-a you’re any different?”

The assailant punched Chaos directly in the head, striking at the one crucial spot Sephiroth had missed. The glowing part where Chaos’ brain should have been flashed violently, and the watery creature reeled backwards in pain. He followed up with a roundhouse kick to the same area.

Stunned and dazed, Chaos tried to change to his puddle form to flee, but the dark warrior wouldn’t allow him the chance. Creating a fireball in his hand, he threw it at Chaos, striking him in the leg. The leg disappeared, evaporating, and Chaos howled a watery cry on pain. Three more fireballs, and all that was left of Chaos was his head. The dark assailant once again stomped on him, this time destroying the water monster completely.

“Well, that-a takes care o’ that leak.”

The dark figure kicked the door down and walked out of the room.

Day 7 Begins

It will end at 9:00 PM GMT-5 tomorrow. So, around 30 hours.

[Chaotix]

Day 7

At the end of the day, it appeared Bowser had once again convinced the Council on a single target. Given his success the previous night, the villains decided to trust his judgment again. This time, Bowser decided on an old enemy of his… Fawful.

It was true, Fawful and Bowser were both villains. But in a past adventure of the Mario Bros, the two were on opposite sides in a conflict; Fawful had seen fit as well to taunt Bowser at every opportunity. Needless to say, this did not endear him to the Koopa King.

“Gwahahahar! Fawful, you stupid, illiterate, turd! I bet it was you who’s been doing all this killing, isn’t it? Perhaps you’re once again envious of my sheer awesomeness!”

“Hahahahaha! I am laughing at you now, you idiot of foolishness! To think I could ever be envying the smell of a foul rose like you!”

Bowser was unsure how to answer this insult… it was an insult, right? Fawful continued, his insane ranting amusing the other villains.

“You make me very angry with your accusationings, you oversized turtle that has eaten too much at his last food-eating feast! In fact, I now have FURY!

I HAVE FURY!

“I will not be a lynching for such a crowd of Fink-Rats as this! That is what you all are being, yes! Fink-Rats, Fink-Rats like those brothers of Mario, Red and Greenie, that is what you are being for executing the lynching of myself! I am the great and magnificent Fawful, who is just a toady of the greater and more magnificenter Cackletta! You are all Cackletta’s snack cakes, you just don’t know it yet! Hahahahahaaha!”

The Council turned its eyes toward Cackletta, casting suspicion on her.

“Eeyahahaha! This fool doesn’t realize what he’s saying, of course. You can see his English is terrible. It pains me to have to translate for such an unworthy underling as he, but what he really means is that we are both villains, and loyal members of the Council.”

Fawful, overcome with embarrassment, ran to Cackletta’s feet and started groveling.

“Yes! Great Cackletta, please forgive me for my insolenting! I am a rotten egg in a hen-house of rotten hens, on a farm run by rotten farmers! If you do not wish these fink-rats to be your snack-cakes, then I will not be calling them that. I will just call them FINK-RATS!”

Dr. Eggman, annoyed at the sheer idiocy, chimed in.

“Look, we don’t have all day here, okay? Can we just kill this poor excuse for a villain already?”

“Hahahahaha! Look who is to be talking now, the other rotten egg in the hen-house that is rotten! I am starting to tiring of your speechness, Fink-Rats. Your lives that I spit on are nothing but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!”

“Graaaagh! Somebody shut this dimwit up!”

Ganondorf began taking large, menacing strides towards Fawful.

“And now is the time when our battle begins, which will be mighty! Headgear! I am calling on you!”

Fawful’s Headgear rocketed from out of nowhere, landing, not surprisingly, on his head. Using the dual jetpacks, he floated into the air.

“Hahahahahahahaha! Now is the time where my true might shines, like many angry sunbeams of RAGE! My FURY, which I have much of, will be known! Now I will drizzle rage dressing on the salad of evil that is my sandwich of desires! And, best of all, this battle will be the mustard on that sandwich!

THE MUSTARD OF YOUR DOOM! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Fawful’s Headgear began spitting energy blasts at Ganondorf. The first one that hit him seemed not to faze him at all. Ganondorf just kept walking through the hail of Headgear blasts, straight up to Fawful himself. He grabbed Fawful by the neck, and squeezed.

“SHUT. UP.”

But even this couldn’t quiet the small toady.

“My voice! I am hearing it being crushed out of the box where it lives!”

Ganondorf kept choking him.

“Fink… rats… I am laughing at you… even from my doom…”

And then he was still. Ganondorf dropped Fawful where he was, and walked slowly out of the room. The other villains followed him.

Night 7 Begins

It may have to be a 48-hour round, but it's possible I could get it done tomorrow. Assume it's 24 hours until I post here tomorrow saying it's extended.

[Chaotix]

Night 7

Tonight, Sephiroth would once again meet his challenged foe on the roof of the laboratory. This time, the clouds covered the moon and stars. The only light would be coming from what reached the roof from the rest of the factory below.

Sephiroth’s vision in the dark was not as strong as his other qualities. Although he could see well enough to fight effectively, he might have trouble if his opponent was particularly skilled, like Golbez had been. As he opened the door out to the rooftop, he squinted as his eyes adjusted themselves.

As it was, the Arbiter could see Sephiroth perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that he pulled off a headshot with his laser carbine.

“ARGH! Fool! Apparently you must have no respect for the rules of combat… hehehehehehehe… Now you’ll have to witness what a nightmare I am when fully unleashed!”

Although Sephiroth felt the pain and it certainly hurt him, it would take more than just a single headshot to seriously injure him. He drew his blade, and then began focusing energy. Electricity began to crackle around him, and the sheer excess of energy was radiating from his body as a light source. It lit up a space of five yards around Sephiroth, and he could see for twenty now that his eyes had adjusted. Still, the Arbiter was nowhere to be seen.

The Arbiter fired his carbine three more times, but this time the white-haired warrior dodged easily around them. He looked in the direction where the shots came from, only to see the Arbiter vanishing away again.

“Coward… a cloaking device, eh?”

He rushed over to the area, and began swinging his ten-foot-long sword wildly. He would surely cut the Arbiter somewhere. On the third swing, he met resistance. The Arbiter, coming into contact with another object, now appeared in the space in front of Sephiroth.

He had wedged the Masamune between the dual blades of his energy sword. With a blow from his free hand, he forced Sephiroth back, and disappeared again.

“Hahahaha! Since when did you expect me to continue playing your games?”

With a snap of his fingers, the radiating light around Sephiroth became an explosion of flame.

As the blast spread outward, it burned the Arbiter and damaged his cloaking device. His blade raised, Sephiroth lunged and landed a shallow cut across the Arbiter’s chest, which a hundredth of a second earlier would have been cleaved in two. The Arbiter countered, skewering Sephiroth’s sword arm with the energy sword.

Sephiroth groaned in rage, switching to his other arm, but it was to no avail: the Arbiter knocked the blade out of his hands. Starting up his cloaking device again, he turned and dived off the side of the laboratory.

When Sephiroth had recovered his wounds, he walked up to the edge. The Arbiter’s body was nowhere to be seen on the ground far below.

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

Eggman brought his palm to his face. He was once again sitting in the surveillance room. Standing outside in the doorway were Meta Ridley and the Headless Knight. The Knight was defending Eggman, and Meta Ridley had taken it upon himself to defend the defender. The two, upon the Knight’s suggestion, formed a formidable team. He was mounted on Ridley’s back, blade drawn, with the cyborg dragon also readied for combat. The Knight had taken to calling himself the “Headless Horseman Dragon Rider”, which was also odd considering he was lacking a mouth.

The surveillance screen, however, drew Eggman’s attention away from the idiocy on display outside.

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

What Eggman saw on the screen was that Kefka had left his room. Giggling with maniacal laughter, he began waltzing his way down the halls.

He stopped outside a door. Kicking it down, he saw that the room had been partially damaged before. However, there was nobody inside it... interspersed throughout the insane laughter were a few phrases of literate language.

“Ahahahaahaha! Think you’re clever, eh, little serpent? Well, I assure you, no one’s more clever than me…”

He left the room and began walking the halls again, this time stopping at the door on the opposite end of the hallway. Listening carefully, he decided this was the one. He kicked, full force.

“OW!”

And on the other side, the King Cobra shouted in pain. He had been invisible, and snuck into the room of Gruntilda the Witch, who was snoring nearly as loud as Bowser was known to. Now, he would have a nasty bruise on the back of his eyeless head.

Gruntilda woke up with a start, a typical Metal Gear article of punctuation appearing over her head.

“Wha-? A clown, and a blind guy smoking a joint?
And what’s with this stupid exclamation point?”



Annoyed, the exclamation point grumbled and disappeared into nonexistence. Kefka rejoined in his maniacal laughter. He was standing in the doorway, so only his jester-shaped silhouette was visible to King Cobra and Gruntilda.

“Thought you could get away, little snake? Now you BURN!! There can only be one! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

Flames engulfed the Cobra, but he wasn’t going down without a fight. His scales burning, he lunged at Kefka with his snake-arm, biting down hard on his neck. Screaming in pain, Kefka drew a knife from his garb, and began stabbing King Cobra with a maniacal fury. On at least three occasions he attempted to gouge his non-existant eyes out.

Finally, his blade landed hard on the snake-arm, severing it completely. It writhed around on the floor, still trying to bite at his ankles. He stomped on the disgusting creature, splattering it, just as a new snake head grew out of the Cobra’s bloody stump. Turning invisible, King Cobra began running down the hallway, attempting to escape. Kefka wouldn’t allow it.

Grabbing one of the pipes that constantly hung overhead, he tore it open. Then, he set fire to the gas inside. Flames rolled down the pipe until they reached the corner, where an elbow joint burst, creating a wall of fire to prevent the Cobra’s escape.

Now Cobra had to choose between fire, or knives and more fire. It wasn’t a very easy choice, but he wasn’t given a chance to make a decision. Kefka’s knife, set on fire, flew through the air and pierced his leg.

Kefka ran towards the now-visible Cobra, punching him in the face and stunning him. He quickly grabbed the knife again and used it to split King Cobra’s chest open.

“I’m going to make sure your death… has as much PAIN as POSSIBLE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA!”

Placing his hand on the open wound, Kefka began burning King Cobra from the inside out. When the fire reached his head, it began spewing out of his mouth, nose, ears, and empty eye sockets. When Kefka was done with him, he was nothing but a burnt-out carcass.

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

I would have pictures of King Cobra, but sadly there has never been a Resident Evil-Metal Gear crossover.

Day 8 Begins

It ends tomorrow, 9:00PM (so I don't have to keep saying it, all times I give are GMT-5 or EST.

EDIT: Actually, I may have to make it another 48 hour round. You guys may need it anyway. Here's a poll: would you like Day Phases to be 48 hours now? I will still keep Nights to 24 when possible, because there's less need for more time.

[Chaotix]

I did this one earlier once I saw LG was going to be lynched... more than ever, I suggest you listen to the music link... it will certainly set the atmosphere.

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

Day 8

The next day, Eggman related to the Council what he had witnessed through the security cameras. After hearing about, and seeing the atrocities firsthand that Kefka had committed to his fellow villain, King Cobra, the Council began clamoring for his head. Kefka was clever, though. When they began interrogating him, he danced around all of their questions… he was Dancing Mad.

“Gwahahahar! That’s it! Now we’ve caught you, Kefka- or should I say, hero! Stand still while I wash that paint off your disguised face with my burning breath!”

“Hee, hee. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Why, look at me! You cannot possibly claim that I am not a villain, fools! I have poisoned the water supply of an entire city and killed thousands. I have destroyed the world that I hail from and killed MILLIONS.”

Ganondorf now spoke.

“Hmph. I agree with you, and I think Bowser has it all wrong. There is very little chance you are a hero in disguise, with the way you flayed the Cobra like that. A very evil move of you… and stylish as well. I like it.”

“Why, thank you. You’re not nearly as disgusting, confused, nor mentally challenged as you look, Ganondorf. At least I have one true villain who agrees with me here, a real… King of Evil, I might add.”

“I was not done yet. If you remember, we have had traitors who were not necessarily heroes, either. Might I point out that freak Dimentio again?”

“Dimentio. Hee hee hee! He wasn’t nearly as good at killing as I am. He only managed to get one of you guys, and that was only by controlling his mind! He was just a wannabe psychotic jester, not the real deal like myself.”

“You’re not helping your case. Do you even realize that?”

“No, I suppose not. But it hardly matters now. You are all doomed. You were doomed from the beginning, when you decided to bring me here. I am the greatest warrior in the history of history! I had no need for your petty doomsday machine! I AM a doomsday machine. I have been turned into a god in my lands. I could have killed you all where you stood on that first day, just for daring to distract me from my daily routine of killing, pillaging, and managing my own personal cult! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA!!”

Kefka broke out into a stream of maniacal laughter that lasted for at least a minute. When he finished, he continued his insane rant.

“-HHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…HA… hee, hee. Yes, I could’ve killed you all with the flick of a finger, because I am a GOD! But instead, in my wisdom, I decided that it would be more fun to kill you all night by night and watch you squirm in terror. I am the true evil, here, the evil that kills other lesser evils! None of you can even begin to call yourselves villains, none can hold a candle to my might! And now… the fun is gone for me. All that remains is rage. Rage that I will use to kill each and every one of you! But first… have a present! AHAHAHAAHAAA!”

Kefka raised his hands to the air, and giant bolts of lightning shot from his fingertips. They struck all of the machines and electrical equipment in the laboratory, causing many to explode. The Dimensional Scrambler was blown to pieces, and all of the lights went out, plunging the room into darkness. A few seconds later, the backup generator kicked in, turning the lights back on. Kefka was nowhere to be seen. But he was heard.

“HEE HEE HEE! Looking for me? You’d better watch out, because here I come!”

Fire rained from the ceiling, causing many villains to duck and cover. After it came a spinning, whirling figure, hurtling at a frightening speed towards the ground. Midway through it changed course, heading directly for Bowser, and striking him square in the face. Kefka hopped off the koopa, wiping turtle blood off of his shoe. Bowser lay on the floor, bloodied and unmoving.

The closest villain to Kefka, King Dedede, rushed towards him at full speed (however slow it was, due to his huge girth) with his hammer raised over his head. A second later, the hammer fell to the ground with a clatter, and Dedede followed with a thump, with a knife jabbed deep into his eye.

“Anyone ELSE want to challenge me, or will I have to go and confront you myself before I kill you?”

Several brave villains, Sephiroth, Ganondorf, and Meta Ridley included, answered the challenge, charging at Kefka from all directions. Meta Ridley shot fireballs from his mouth, which were easily deflected by Kefka towards Sephiroth. The white-haired warrior wasted precious seconds as he blocked them with his sword.

Ganondorf, meanwhile, reared up for a huge punch. As his fist plunged towards Kefka, dark flames appeared around it. Kefka, however, grabbed the King of Evil’s fist with his left hand and flung him backwards over his head. Provided with time caused by the distraction, he turned just in time to meet Sephiroth’s assault.

The Masamune slashed downwards in a vertical strike. What it met, however, was not soft flesh, but rather the jester’s bare hands, holding the thin blade in place on either side. Stuck once again in a deadlock, Sephiroth noticed Kefka’s right shoulder, with two bloody puncture marks in it. The area around them was swollen and gray. Sephiroth pushed further to the right of Kefka, and struggling to withstand the pressure on his weakened side, he released the blade. It veered off, severing Kefka’s right arm from the elbow.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! HHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA! That… hurt. You HURT me! I’ll burn that pretty little face of yours right off!”

With his remaining hand, he seized Sephiroth’s face and hair, and began covering it in flames. Sephiroth roared in agony. Ganondorf, reawakened by the cry, leapt to his feet. He ran to Kefka and unleashed a Warlock Punch into his face, sending him staggering backwards.

Sephiroth lunged towards the stunned Kefka, mercilessly tearing his limbs off with the Masamune. When only his torso and head remained, he shoved the point of the sword straight through Kefka’s laughing, screaming mouth. Turning it over, he wrenched it straight upwards, slicing the rest of Kefka’s face in two.

But Sephiroth did not look much better himself. His face was irreparably scarred by the insane demi-god. Covering his face were hideous third degree burn marks, and his once-clear skin was a sickly gray. His eyes were sunken in, and an unnatural yellowish color. The irises were red. And his hair had been scorched. The once-silver sheen had been reduced to a dull gray in the places where his locks still remained. The tips were tinged soot black.

The villains walked over to the two bodies on the floor. Dedede was dead; there was no chance for him. Bowser, however, appeared to be bloodied, but unconscious. It was a miracle he was alive at all; a blow like that should have snapped his neck.

They had caught another traitor, that much was for sure. But what would happen now? There was no way for the villains to return to their home dimensions. The answers would lie in wait for the future…

Night 8 Begins

[Chaotix]

Night 8

Sephiroth hurried down the hallways, a grimace on his disfigured face. He stopped outside the door of his target. He stood, contemplating for a minute or so… then, returning to reality, he blew the door off its hinges with a single hand motion.

Inside was Lord Zant, Usurper King to the Twilight Throne, covered as always by his enigmatic mask.

He was standing upright, facing the doorway, as if he already knew someone was coming for him. He spoke, breaking the silence.

“You… you are here to kill me. Very well, then. Ganondorf wills it, does he not? He is my lord and master. If he has ordered my death, surely he has a good reason for it…”

Sephiroth was annoyed by his opponent’s attitude. He didn’t come here to kill a weakling who wouldn’t defend himself. He wanted a real challenge… and although Zant couldn’t provide that, either, if he fought back it would be a little more fun, at least.

“Fool. Don’t you realize that you’re just a pawn?”

“What… are you talking about?”

“Ganondorf doesn’t really care about you. You’re just his puppet- he kept you alive and in power while you still had a use for him, and now that your usefulness has run out, he’s just going to kill you off. Him and Bowser, those two are as thick as thieves… perhaps they are thieves as well.”

“You lie! Ganondorf is the great one, the creator of the twilight! He would never sentence me to death if he didn’t plan on bringing me back later. He needs me to rule Hyrule for him!”

“Ha! Do you really think he gives a damn whether you live or die? He was just going to throw you away at the quickest opportunity he got. You’re worthless; now you’ll die for it.”

Now something in Zant snapped. He had never been truly stable to begin with. It seemed Sephiroth’s little scheme had worked; now Zant was angry and filled with insane rage. This would be an interesting fight.

“Worthless? I am the King of the Twilight! I have brought terror to Hyrule! I will not allow you to insult me in this way… no, I will not be content to die any more. Now it is YOU who will die! Hahaha!”

Zant raised his arms, covered in the sleeves of his robe. All of a sudden, a dark mist descended over the room. When Sephiroth could see again, he was in a place full of swirling darkness, and standing on nothing… perhaps this was the Twilight Realm.

Zant appeared from the swirling darkness. He fired dark energy blasts at Sephiroth continuously. Sephiroth, dodging the blasts, raced towards Zant. As he swung his blade, Zant burst into a million dark particles, reforming directly behind him. He blasted Sephiroth with dark energy, knocking him over.

As Sephiroth got up, Zant split himself into three copies and surrounded him.

“Hmph… bad idea.”

An explosion radiated outwards from Sephiroth’s body, striking all three copies. Two burst into twilight particles; the third was blasted backwards. Sephiroth walked up to Zant and, before he could rise to his feet, kicked his helmet off.

“AARGHHH! Noone lays eyes on my face and lives to tell the tale! DIE!”

Zant rushed into a mad frenzy, striking at Sephiroth with magically charged fists. Sephiroth, deflecting blows, saw an opening and sidestepped out of the attack. He brought his blade down, severing both of Zant’s hands. The mad king screamed in pain.

“No… you are mistaken. No one who sees MY face will live.”

With that, he sliced Zant’s head off, his red eyes glistening.

The dark mist once again covered Sephiroth’s eyes, and in a moment he had returned to the laboratory. He left the room, his face hidden in the shadows.

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

Gruntilda was busy catching up on her missed beauty sleep tonight. She snored twice as loud as before, and often cackled in her sleep. The sound was so loud that she didn’t wake up when a dark figure dropped from a ceiling vent into her room.

The figure grabbed Grunty by her feet and spun, flinging her at the wall. Gruntilda, now wide awake, leapt to her feet, shouting at the entity.

“Who are you, some kind of creep?
Who dares interrupt my beauty sleep?
You must be some kind of twisted perv,
To throw a girl at a wall- you’ve got some nerve!”

The silhouetted figure responded, in a heavy accent.

“Why, it’s a me! Don’t you-a know who I am?”

“Stop playing games, I do not care!
You’re not much worse than that bird and bear!
And now I think you must pay hell,
So taste my super magic spell!”

Raising her short, stubby hands over her head, Gruntilda threw a magical ball of energy at the silhouette. The figure, however, pulled a bright yellow cape from his pocket, and used it, somehow to deflect the attack straight back at the witch. Grunty was thrown back against the wall, and fell to the ground.

“Heh… you’re not-a so tough for a wicked witch, eh? Not very scary, either.”

“Silence you fool, I’ll get you yet!
Although it appears that a sequel is my best bet!”

The figure threw a fireball at Gruntilda, setting her on fire. Then he left through the ceiling vent, jumping up into it. What was left of Grunty in the morning was… well, about as attractive as what she was before.

Day 9 Begins.

[Chaotix]

Day 9

The day was nearing sunset, but there had been virtually no argument amongst the Council of Villains. On the direction of Bowser, the villains had agreed almost unanimously to kill Cackletta, the evil Bean witch.

All except Cackletta herself, of course. As she argued for her true villainy, most of the villains just sort of sat back and yawned. Perhaps this was another plot by Bowser to rid himself of another enemy, like he had done so with Fawful, Cackletta’s own henchman? It mattered not, because Bowser had been successful enough in stealing using Eggman’s evidence to find the traitors.

Finally, Bowser decided to end the witch’s life.

“… and this is why you should definitely not lynch me, the Great Cackletta, and instead kill genocidal maniac, Sephiroth. Eeeyahahahaahee-”

“GRAAAAAAAAAAWRRR! SHUT UP, you stupid body-stealing bean-face! The bottom line comes down to the fact that you executed that cool evil plan to steal Princess Peach’s voice and DIDN’T let me in on it!”

Bowser lunged towards Cackletta, fire already burning at the tip of his tongue. To his surprise , just as he was about to unleash a fiery claw attack on her, Cackletta sidestepped, returning with a heeled kick to Bowser’s face. Bowser stumbled backwards.

“EEYAHEHEHEHEEE! Did you think I would just let you assault me? You’re absolutely no match for me, Bowser.”

Cackletta unleashed lightning, Darth Sidious style, holding him there for nearly a minute. When she finally released the lightning, Bowser groaned and collapsed to the ground.

“Not again…” he grumbled as he passed into unconsciousness.

The remaining villains in the Council, now numbering only 10, rushed towards Cackletta. The witch moved her hands outwards, cackled again, and a wave of freezing ice rushed through the air around her. Most of the villains were stopped in their tracks; Ganondorf’s strong legs, however, pulled him out of the ice. He loosed a full-force punch into Cackletta’s face, who flew several yards backwards at the impact.

There was something strange, though… as Ganondorf hit the witch in the face, he could have sworn he felt…

“… A MUSTACHE?”

Ganondorf looked at the thick, black hairs in his hand, and then back at the rising Cackletta.

“Ha-ha! Yes, it appears you have-a found me out. Not-a bad job, eh, Ganondorf? In fact, I’m quite-a popular around here with these-a villains. You may know me as…”

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

LUIGI!

The villains stared in disbelief and confusion as Cackletta threw off her disguise, to reveal underneath this “Luigi” person.

“Err… I’m sorry, who are you?”

Luigi fell to the floor in embarrassment. As he picked himself up, he responded.

“I’m-a Luigi! You know, one of the Super Mario Brothers!”

Now Bowser Jr. chimed in, apparently recognizing the hero.

“Oooh! Oooh! I remember him now! He’s that stupid Mario guy’s brother!”

Eggman lit up at the mention of Mario.

“Oho! Mario, you say? Very well then, prepare to die, err… sorry, what was your name again?”

“Luigi! My name’s-a Luigi!”

“Whatever. Listen, can I just call you Greenie? It’s easier to remember. Alright, then. PREPARE TO DIE, GREENIE!”

“Heh! Notta chance!”

Luigi leapt high into the air, and began throwing his signature Green Fireballs at the villains.

Eggman, from his combat-ready Egg-Walker, fired several missiles at him. Luigi landed on them in succession jumping off before each one exploded. Landing on the floor, he buried Ganondorf in a flurry of punches, stunning him.

By now Eggman had readied a larger missile. As soon as he fired it, Luigi whipped out his Poltergust 3000, and sucked up the giant explosive. Then, turning and pointing it at a random villain, he set the machine to “eject” and fired the missile back out.

The Count Dracula was blasted with the missile, and was sent flying through the walls of the laboratory. He landed outside.

“Hah! Vou cannot hope to damage a vampire in vis vay! I am still very much alive… or undead, rather.”

But it wasn’t for long. Dracula neglected to notice the setting sun in the distance, whose light was quickly burning the vampire’s body away. He didn’t even have time to scream “I’m velting!” before he was nothing but a pile of ancient ash.

But now, the rest of the villains were closing in on Luigi.

Trapped, he ran towards Mewtwo, attempting to kick him in the face. His foot was stopped mid-air by a psychic force, however, and he was flung backwards by the same force…

…Right into Vaati’s swirling wind gusts. The wind tore at Luigi and launched him further away…

…Only to be caught by the throat by the Headless Knight. As he choked the green-clad plumber, the Arbiter approached and readied his energy sword. The Knight, however, didn’t anticipate a Fireball down his exposed throat, however, and as he dropped Luigi, the hero twisted and spring-jumped off of the Arbiter’s head…

…Landing next to Bowser Jr.

“Ha-ha! Now you’ve got-a nowhere to run, koopa kid!”

As Luigi prepared for his onslaught on the terrified son of Bowser, Sephiroth stepped in and backhanded Luigi, sending him straight into the gaping maw of Meta Ridley. Luigi managed to let out a last scream of terror, before he was devoured by the space dragon.

“Good. Now you can join your friend Kirby!”

Eggman turned to the once-again unconscious Bowser.

“Egg-bots! Carry this sack of lard back to his room again at once! It appears he’ll be out cold all night again… on the bright side, it appears we may have finally caught all of these damned traitors! Perhaps we can finally get some work done on that Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom!”

Is it true? Have the Villains finally defeated all of the traitors? Will they now bring terror and destruction to the universe with Eggman’s deadly machine? Find out all this and more, on the next exciting episode of DRAGON BALL Z Council of Villains!

Night 9 Begins

[Chaotix]

Night 9

Footsteps were heard in the hallway, a figure walking slowly and intently towards its target room. This room appeared to have taken considerable damage over the past few nights. The place where the doorway should have been was completely destroyed; apparently the Egg-Bots had neglected to fix it after the third murder attempt or so.

Inside, Bowser and his son slept soundly. But perhaps one of them was sleeping more soundly than the other, for he did not stir when he heard the loud footsteps in the hallway. Instead, Bowser, his red mane still standing on end from the electric shock he received, continued snoring so loud that the sound echoed through the torn-open doorway and down the halls. Bowser Jr., his son, did not.

The Koopa Kid woke with a start at the sound of the footsteps. He had an idea of what they meant, and he tried frantically to wake his father, but to no avail. Bowser was seemingly out cold for the night.

“Hah! It doesn’t matter. I’m tough enough to take care of myself anyway!”

“Are you, now?”

The voice reverberated, throughout the room, but Bowser Jr. didn’t see what it came from.

“AAACK! Wh-Who is that? C-Come on out, I’m not sc-scared of you, ya big m-meanie!”

“Oh, you will be… soon.”

A blast of energy shot from behind Bowser Jr., striking his shell and sending him tumbling forward.

“RAWR! That’s it, now I’ll show you! You’re going down!”

Pulling his bandana over his face, the Koopa Kid drew his Magic Paintbrush. Spinning it, he began to change shape and color.

When the paintbrush had stopped spinning, Bowser Jr. had transformed himself into Shadow Mario. Ready for combat, he struck a fighting stance.

“Hah hah haaaa! See if you can beat me now!”

Shadow Mario began jumping around the room, using backflip, handsprings, and all sorts of gymnastic moves the Mario Bros. were known for. The dark figure walked slowly towards the center of the room, waiting for the oblivious doppelganger to move near to him. As soon as he saw his chance, he shot out a fist, sending Shadow Mario flying into a wall.

“Oww… that hurt!”

“This will hurt more.”

The figure picked up the stunned Shadow Mario by the neck with one hand. Using his other, he drew a blade, and pierced the plumber pretender through the chest. Withdrawing the blade, he flung Shadow Mario across the room, smashing him into the wall.

Shadow Mario slowly reverted back into Bowser Jr. Blood began seeping out of the wound in his chest. The Koopa Kid groaned as life drained away from his young body.

“Dad…”

The figure uttered a grunt of laughter as he left the two unconscious Koopas in their room.

When he woke up, Bowser would be grumpier than usual, that was for sure...
-----------------------------------------

Sometime later that night, Dr. Eggman left his suite and hopped into the Floating Egg. The Headless Knight, who had been standing outside his door, insisted on hanging on to the bottom of the spherical vehicle as it floated off through the laboratory. Dr. Eggman flew out into the night air through the gaping hole that was created when Dracula was blasted out of the building. From there, he hovered up to the roof.

The two warriors were already there when he arrived. Sephiroth and the Arbiter stared each other down. Each one had a bone to pick with the other; Sephiroth was feeling particularly nasty tonight.

“Hmph. How about you don’t run away tonight when I try to kill you, coward?”

“You know nothing. Why bother to try? You are on my side… and I had no reason to kill you last time, when I saw the chance.”

A wicked grin stretched across Sephiroth’s hideous face.

“Heh… just following orders.”

With that, he rushed without warning towards the Arbiter, drawing his blade. The Arbiter fired his Magnum Pistol twice at the charging swordsman, but he split the bullets with the edge of his sword. Before he could cleave the Elite in two, however, he was pistol-whipped on the forehead.

Taking a step backward, dizzy and growling, Sephiroth prepared again to attack the Arbiter. By now, however, the Arbiter had pulled out his Energy Sword, and was ready to duel.

The two warriors now crossed swords. They both struck at each other at blinding speeds, but no matter what neither could catch the other off guard. Sephiroth wouldn’t be pulled into another deadlock, though, and kept swinging. Finally, he took a wide, head-chopping swing. The Arbiter leapt back to dodge, but he was outranged by the blade’s massive length. He avoided the majority of the blow, but his right shoulder had a mean slice on it.

“And now… you DIE!”

Sephiroth thrust his free hand forward, unleashing a massive energy beam at the Arbiter. Eggman, viewing the fight from a distance, only barely managed to dodge the shot himself, as he was directly opposite Sephiroth at the time.

“Hehehehehe… that got him.”

“Not quite. I got lucky, I suppose.”

The Arbiter, appearing from Sephiroth’s left, fired his Laser Carbine four times in quick succession, hitting Sephiroth in the knee with two. Temporarily stunned, the warrior fell to his knee. The Arbiter lunged at Sephiroth, catching his neck between the spikes of his Energy Sword.

“I could end your life now… but I don’t think I will. If your persistence is any indicator, I’ll have another chance to do that.”

The Arbiter disappeared behind his cloaking device, leaping off the roof again.

Day 10 Begins

Be sure to vote...

[Chaotix]

Day 10

The next day, Bowser roared in anguish for hours at the loss of his son. He vowed revenge against the one who had killed him- he would personally shred the traitor to bits.

Dr. Eggman, on his way to the Council Chamber, glanced to the left and stopped abruptly. For some reason, he had forgotten there was a metal doorway, and a room behind it. It was hidden in such a shady alcove that he had probably never used it before. He decided to take a look…

Inside, he found that a table and a few chairs had been set up in the small room. Obviously someone had been active here. Upon examining the security camera, he found that it had been placed on a loop- this is why he never noticed anyone entering the room from his security room screens. On the table, there was a piece of paper, some sort of membership list, it seemed. Most of the villains’ names scrawled on the page were already dead. He was about to discard the scrap of paper, when he noticed, at the very bottom, the name of a living villain. It read “The Arbiter”.

“Oho! Look at this…”

Eggman rushed out of the room, sprinting as fast as his legs could carry his rotund body, with the paper in hand. He slammed open the doors to the Council Chamber. It appeared they had been suspicious of the Arbiter already, but this evidence would prove it.

“Silence, all of you! This piece of paper has incriminating evidence! I found it in an old, abandoned room in the laboratory- which had been recently filled with furniture, and the security camera looped. It has the Arbiter’s name on it! Care to explain yourself, you poor attempt at a villain?”

The Arbiter looked surprised. He snatched the sheet away from Eggman. Recognizing it, he chuckled.

“Heh… what a fool I was, to leave this in that room. I had no use for it anymore once the others were dead, so I didn’t return to it again, and it appears I forgot to… clean up after myself.”

“GRAAAAWRRR! What are you talking about, worm-breath? What others?”

“I suppose there’s no use in hiding it now… very well. I will tell all of you. It won’t matter in the end, anyway. I was part of a secret group… we were all brought here by the Dimensional Scrambler, but we weren’t quite the same as you ‘villains’. None of us were very heroic, either, but we certainly weren’t going to sit around and let you fools ruin the universe with your deadly power. So we formed a Guild… a Guild of Antiheroes. Yes, that name suited us perfectly.

“We were going to wait and let you villains fight it out with each other, as we knew you would. Once the Council had taken care of its traitor problem, it would be considerably weakened. Then we would strike you all down, and destroy your idiotic doomsday machine so that we would look badass. Things didn’t go according to plan, however…

“Wario was killed on the first night after the traitors appeared. Looking back, it was probably Luigi that fried him with electricity, in the guise of Cackletta.

“The next night the Guild suffered a devastating blow. Shadow had his mind placed under the control of Dimentio, and was forced to kill himself.

“Further, Meta-Knight was burnt to a crisp, probably by that psychotic Kefka.

“Finally, Sephiroth decided to go and kill Magus, who we had only just begun to coerce over to our side.”

“This left only three of us, now. But our troubles didn’t end there. Just two nights later, Sephiroth had the cunning idea of killing yet another Antihero. This time it was Golbez.”

“The next night, Luigi snuck into Wolf’s room, and killed him as well.”

“And now, I am the only one left. I am the only one standing between you and your precious Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom. I am the one who slew the son of Bowser, and I will be the one to slay all of you. I will-”

“Yes, yes. Quite a touching story, really. But I do have to get on with my day, here. I’ve got a whole planet to subjugate, after all! TIME TO DIE, TRAITOR!”

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Yes, I realize this song isn’t related at all, but the character wasn’t included, and I don’t feel like using the Halo 2 Rock Theme for a third time.]

Eggman hopped into his Egg-Walker, and started firing missiles and lasers at the Arbiter. Bowser roared in rage and began charging towards him as well. The Arbiter, however, was not stupid, and wouldn’t stand a chance in an open brawl with eight angry villains. He activated his cloaking device, deftly dodging Eggman’s attacks as he moved out of the center of the room.

Finding the weakest link first, he seized a confused Vaati by the neck and hurled him into the wall. The other villains directed their attacks toward that direction, and soon had the Arbiter cornered, but still invisible.

He pulled out a Plasma Grenade, and hurled it at Eggman’s combat walker. The glowing blue sphere stuck to the front of the vehicle. Eggman pondered it curiously for a second before it exploded, sending him flying out of the Egg-Walker, which was now in pieces.

Pulling out his Gravity Hammer, he now leapt into the air, rematerializing, and smashed Meta-Ridley in the chest, sending the dragon flying into the opposite wall. As he landed, he smashed the hammer on the ground in front of Ganondorf, causing him to be thrown into the air and onto his back.

The Arbiter now drew dual Plasma Rifles, and concentrated their fire on both the Headless Knight and Mewtwo, dropping both to their knees. In one fluid motion, he dropped both guns and turned around, catching Sephiroth on the tip of his Energy Sword.

“I told you I’d have another chance to kill you.”

“RRRAAAAAAAAAWRRR!”

The Arbiter felt huge, sharp claws digging into his shoulders, as he was lifted off his feet from behind.

“You forgot about me.”

Bowser proceeded, with his free claw, to tear each of the Arbiter’s limbs from his body. The Arbiter screeched a terrible cry of pain each time. Finally, he was nothing but a torso, covered in bluish blood. But he was still alive.

“Urgh… you… you are all utter fools. This does not end with me. What do you think will happen, now that ultimate power is within your grasp? Do you think each of you will just go his separate ways? Each one of you must already be plotting the others’- AAAAAGH!”

Bowser had grasped the Arbiter’s head between his teeth, and was squeezing mercilessly. Holding the torso steady, Bowser pulled back.

The bloody mess left afterwards took the Egg-Bots several hours to clean.

Night 10 Begins

[Chaotix]

Night 10

Sephiroth strode down the halls, hunched over, his hideously disfigured face hidden in the shadows. An unseen grin stretched across his face as he reached his destination.

With the flick of a finger, he blew the door off its hinges. Inside was the Psychic being, Mewtwo.

When Sephiroth revealed himself, Mewtwo looked about as pissed as a Pokemon can possibly look. He began shouting at Sephiroth, although not through words: Mewtwo had no mouth, and so only spoke telepathically.

“ARGH! Not AGAIN! Every single night I have to deal with some imbecile coming to bother me while I try to meditate!”

“However do you mean?”

“Well, you morons started coming to bother me a few nights ago. First it was this big, fat, STUPID penguin. With a hammer. He broke down my door and started rambling on about how I couldn’t go anywhere that night, as if I had actually had any intentions to go somewhere in the first place.”

“Sounds annoying. I would’ve killed him, personally.”

“Thankfully, the fat lard fell asleep about three minutes in, so I didn’t have to listen to his idiotic voice. Then he got killed by Kefka, and I thought my troubles were over. But no. Instead, I got this freaking space dragon sticking his head into my doorframe and screeching at me all night.”

“The whole night?”

“I couldn’t meditate at all in that racket. I was about to kill the beast by morning. Then, last night, it showed up again. You would think that whoever’s running the “Koopa Troop” would take a hint after bothering me for two nights, already, but NOOOOO. Meta-Ridley decided, using his pea-sized brain, that it would be a good idea to screech at me for another twelve hours.”

“Well, I don’t see him here tonight.”

“No, but YOU’RE here. I bet you’ve come to tell me that I’m not allowed to leave this room, as I would undoubtedly want to do. I must be the only Pokemon ever that could possibly be thought of as willingly evil, and here you morons are, once again, to stop me from killing other evil things. I don’t even have a ing trainer!”

“No, actually, I’m here to kill you.”

Sephiroth let out an evil laugh, and lunged at Mewtwo with his blade. Mewtwo, startled, just managed to Teleport out of the way before he was cleaved in two. He reappeared behind the warrior.

“Well, this’ll make things a bit more interesting, I suppose.”

In one three-fingered hand, Mewtwo began charging a Shadow Ball. Sephiroth tried to strike again before the attack was complete, however. Just before he swung, Mewtwo used Confusion with his other hand. A Psychic force flipped Sephiroth backwards, head over heels, and dropped him against the wall.

Mewtwo now unleashed his Shadow Ball. Sephiroth, though disoriented, was ready for the attack. He raised his blade and deflected the dark ball of energy with his sword, directly back at Mewtwo. The blow knocked Mewtwo backwards, stunning him. Sephiroth was once again lunging towards him.

But Mewtwo wouldn’t give up without a fight. He looked straight at Sephiroth with a piercing glare, using his Hypnosis technique. Sephiroth stopped in his tracks, a dazed look washing over his face. The evil Pokemon used his Psychic powers to lift Sephiroth into the air. He paused, preparing to swing him around like a rag doll.

Before he had the chance, however, he had a ten-foot long sword protruding from his chest. A smug grin graced Sephiroth’s face.

“Fooled you.”

Sephiroth dropped to the ground and haphazardly swung his blade, beheading Mewtwo. No blood spurted forth from his neck, because Pokemon is an E-rated game and Nintendo couldn’t possibly put blood into it.

Dissappointed at the lack of carnage, but no less satisfied with his kill otherwise, Sephiroth left the room and continued down the hallway.

Day 11 Begins

Be sure to vote... Phase ends at 9:00 EST on Tuesday, roughly 47 hours from now.

[Chaotix]

Day 11

The remaining seven villains were surprised the next day to find that only Mewtwo had been killed- and Sephiroth claimed the kill for himself. What was going on, now? Was the final traitor hiding, waiting until there were few enough villains for him to take on by himself? Maybe the Council was just paranoid because of the Arbiter’s cryptic words? Or perhaps there was a more sinister answer…

At the end of the day, the villains had, for the most part, decided that Vaati, the Wind Sorcerer, must be the final traitor.

“You think… that I’M the traitor here? What evidence do you have, exactly?”

Ganondorf, fueled by his dislike of the other dark forces vying for power in Hyrule, headed the prosecution.

“Heh… do you really think we’re stupid enough to suspect you without evidence? Meta-Ridley stopped you from going anywhere last night. Maybe he stopped you from killing a villain last night!”

“All that blasted space dragon did was interrupt my sleep. When he smashed down the door, I was SLEEPING.”

“Well, you ARE some kinda freaky wind mage, right? Maybe you can kill things in your sleep!”

At this point, Vaati brought his palm to his face.

“OR… perhaps you’re just jealous because I’m so much tougher and manlier than you, elf boy!”

“Gaaah! Don’t you insult my manliness! Just because your voice is about three octaves deeper and-”

“Nyah, nyah, I’ve got a Triforce, and you don’t!”

“That’s it! I’ll destroy you, idiot!”

Vaati lunged at Ganondorf, and was surprisingly able to tackle him to the ground. They began rolling around on the floor, wrestling like two middle-schoolers. Ganondorf, being obviously much more physically powerful, managed to chuck the tenacious wind mage off of him and into the air.

Vaati conjured a small whirlwind and landed on top of it, in mid-air. He drew a small shortsword.

“And now… we duel!”

Ganondorf looked embarrassed now.

“Look, I already said… I forgot my sword, okay?”

“It’s of no consequence to me.”

Riding on the whirlwind, Vaati rushed towards Ganondorf, sword pointed outwards. As he approached, Ganondorf flicked the tiny sword away with his fingers, and grabbed Vaati by the neck with his other hand.

“Hahahaha! Sorry, elf-boy, but there’s only room for one villain in Hyrule!”

“Well, I obviously don’t take up a lot of space, perhaps I could-”

“Shut up.”

Ganondorf pulled back his fist, charging up for the Warlock Punch. As his fist, empowered with evil magic, smashed into Vaati’s face, his head exploded from the sheer force, and splattered blood and brains all over the Council Chamber.

The remaining villains all gave Ganondorf a resounding applause for his flashy finish.

Night 11 Begins

[Chaotix]

Night 11

The night was quiet… there was no movement in the halls, no violent noise, and nobody dead when morning came.

The six remaining villains were surprised at the apparent lack of a dead body. Either there was no traitor left at all, and the Arbiter had been bluffing… or he was simply hiding his true nature… waiting for a chance to strike.

These six villains were probably the most powerful of all that were in the original Council. Perhaps there were a few toppled powerhouses… but all six of these were a force to be reckoned with, and would make a difficult enemy to overcome.

Bowser, the Koopa King, the kidnapper of princesses and the terror of the Mushroom Kingdom. He had become the major dominating force of the Council, and his word was met with nearly immediate obedience whenever he spoke. Could he have been controlling the villains this whole time for his own means?

Dr. Eggman, the great and mad scientist who brought the Council of Villains together with his magnificent machines. He is the inspiration behind the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom. Perhaps his intentions never were to work with the villains, but instead to destroy them and add their power to his own?

Ganondorf, the King of All Evil, and the great darkness that plagues Hyrule every century. He has been a staunch ally of Eggman and Bowser since the beginning, but on occasion they do not see eye to eye. Could Ganondorf be secretly plotting to kill the two, and take the dark power all for himself?

Sephiroth, the proud, extremely powerful warrior, who kills without a second thought. He was once beautiful as well, with pure skin, silvery white hair, and piercing eyes. Now, due to his presence in the Council, he has been irrevocably scarred. Might he want revenge on everyone who brought Kefka’s guilt into the light, and so caused his disfiguration?

Meta-Ridley, the fierce and cruel cyborg-pirate-space-dragon, who terrorizes the galaxy. He was once made only out of organic tissue, but after his death his body was retooled by Dr. Eggman, and he was brought back to life with a newfound power. Maybe his mechanical body has driven him to insanity?

The Headless Knight, an abomination of nature created by the fiendish Dracula. Once known as the Black Knight, and perhaps the weakest link of the six villains, he has lost his head, literally… and potentially mentally as well. Could it be that his revival as an undead has given him a certain hunger for brains?

The six villains stared at each other, each cautious of the others. The traitor could be any one of them… but they did not know who.

Day 12 Begins

[Chaotix]

Day 12

The six villains continued to stare, in a six-way standoff. They knew that any one of them could have been the traitor, and they were all ready to respond should one suddenly attack another, in a chance to take a surprise advantage and wipe them all out.

Meanwhile, in Bowser’s pea-sized brain, thoughts began stirring, amazingly. He began to reason, somehow, and this reasoning started to lead him, unbelievably, to conclusions. After forming the conclusions, he used his newfound ability to think to make sense of the conclusions. And finally, he believed he knew who the traitor was…

“GWAHAHAHAHAR!!! I know who the traitor is now! It’s Sephiroth! He’s the only one who was still killing! We thought he was our friend this whole time, but really, he’s just out for himself! Let’s tear him to shreds!”

Sephiroth, with a puzzled and annoyed look on his hideous face, responded to the Koopa’s sudden outburst.

“Hahahaha… interesting that you say that, Bowser. You know that I have assisted with the killing of every single traitor this Council has caught so far. I nearly wiped out the ‘Guild of Antiheroes’ before we even knew they existed. Did you forget? I suffered terrible injuries trying to destroy that mad fool Kefka for you. The only villains I killed at all were the ones YOU, specifically, told me to. And you believe I have betrayed the Villains?”

Dr. Eggman spoke up now.

“It’s over, Sephiroth. We know what you’ve been up to. You weren’t killing because we told you to, you were doing it because you wanted to. You’re a traitor in MY Council, and you were working right under my nose! Now you’ll find out what happens to disobedient subordinates: They are DESTROYED!”

“Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong, you poor fool. You idiots actually thought I was your subordinate? Someone you could order around to do your dirty work for you? Did you think I would stoop as low as to take orders from imbeciles such as you? I am vastly more powerful than every single one of you. I could have killed you all from the beginning, if I wished. But I didn’t. No, I let you live.

“And why do think that was? I thought, for the most part, that you showed promise, for a bunch of weaklings. I thought I might help you out with your idiotic little traitor problem, so that you could get on with your Super Weapon scheme, and all possibly become as powerful as me. Then I would have equals in this world at last.

“And I soon found, that there already were equals of mine, gathered here in this laboratory. First, it was Dimentio. His power was nowhere near as great as mine, but his scheme… his plot to destroy the world, and to create his on the ruins and rubble… it was brilliant. He had a mind to match my own. He knew how to lie, cheat, deceive, and manipulate his way to victory. It was a tragedy his game had to be cut short, by the sheer chance of an investigation.

“Next was Kefka. He was insane. An utter fool. He laughed while the laboratory burned. But his power… he was a god, there was no doubt. However he gained it, his godly strength made him so powerful I was unsure if even I could surpass him. But I did… I managed to defeat him, but only with the help of you idiots, and as a result, my face… my beautiful face… LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!!!”

Sephiroth was now visibly shaking with rage.

“And you infantile villains still realized nothing. You had seen fit to order me around like a common hired sword, and I went along with it, only amused at your childish senses of self-importance. Now, you continued to treat me like your personal killing machine. I have now seen the importance of Dimentio’s and Kefka’s words… however mad they were, they had a point. You are not true villains; you are all whining, nagging children who are dressed up as them! The real “villains” are the ones who kill everything in their path and never look back, who use their allies to gain power and then backstab them once they are strong enough. I am one of those real villains. I will kill you, all five of you, without a second thought. I will use your idiotic wishing machine to turn my body back to its rightful self, so that I may be all the more evil. I will be the single terror that rules the universe.

I… AM… SEPHIROTH!

Sephiroth, holding one hand out, fired an enormous energy beam at the wall of the Council Chambers, smashing a huge hole into it. The he dashed with great speed through it. The five remaining villains rushed after him, but they couldn’t keep up.

Several holes in the wall later, the villains came to the Main Chamber. In the center of the room was the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom, all but complete at this point. Sephiroth stood on the Receiver Platform. He had set the finished machine to “Empower”, and flipped the switches already. As the villains prepared to assault him, the energy ray fired. A blinding light obscured the villains’ vision.

When the villains could see again, they were greeted by an evil laugh.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! AT LAST… I AM… PERFECT!”

Sephiroth, using his new wings, sped over to the Headless Knight, shining Masamune in his hand. The two warriors crossed swords and began to fight, each striking blows that would shatter the opponent’s sword, if they weren’t both sacred and unbreakable.

Sephiroth was clearly the faster of the two, however, and the Headless Knight was only struggling to keep up. At one point Sephiroth caught the Knight in a deadlock.

“Come on… is that really the best you can do? You’re more pathetic than I thought.”

Sephiroth, swift as lightning, slid his blade out of the deadlock and under the Knight’s sword, easily slicing through both of his wrists. In a single circular motion, he removed all of the Knight’s limbs. He was now an Armless and Legless Knight, too.

“Hmph. Shall we call it a draw, then? No, I don’t think so. I prefer you dead, limbless freak.”

Sephiroth then swung his blade, cleaving the Knight in half, and leaving a perfectly symmetrical arrangement of body parts strewn in the bloody puddle. From behind, Sephiroth was given an unnecessary warning from the next challenger.

“SCCRRRRREEEEEEEEECCHHRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRR!!”

Sephiroth grinned and backflipped, planting a devastating kick on Meta-Ridley’s face at the crux of his jump. Before he hit the ground, his wings launched him further into the air, and he began wrestling with the space dragon in an aerial battle.

The winged warrior zipped around the lumbering Meta-Ridley, deflecting fireball, talon, and razor-tail alike with only his bare hands. As soon as he gained an opening, Sephiroth seized the dragon by the neck, flinging him into one of the walls. As Meta-Ridley smashed into the wall, a small chunk of armor fell from his chest. He did not notice it, but this for some reason fragile piece of armor had been guarding his exposed heart.

The heart, beating and glowing like a target, quickly attracted Sephiroth’s eye. He held out both of his hands, and began charging an energy beam. Releasing it, it struck Meta-Ridley straight on the target. The huge blast tore through the cyborg-dragon’s heart, destroying the source of his life.

Lifeless, Meta-Ridley dropped ungracefully to the floor, smashing into a steaming heap of metal and bone.

Now Sephiroth turned his cruel eyes on Ganondorf.

“Heh heh heh… now it’s your turn, “King of All Evil”.”

“Hmph. Try as you might, but I have the Triforce on my side. My strength is much greater than those of the last two. You will regret ever betraying us.”

Dark power surged around Ganondorf, and he rose into the air as easily as Sephiroth had, despite his considerable bulk. His fists glowing with evil magic, he rushed towards Sephiroth.

The sheer force of Ganondorf’s charge plunged them both into a wall, smashing them through to the other side. From there, Ganondorf delivered a crushing blow and sent Sephiroth spiraling toward the ground.

Eggman and Bowser hurried through the hole on the floor level to continue watching the fight. Ganondorf dropped to the floor to continue dueling Sephiroth. Sephiroth drew his blade again, smiling.

“GRAAAAAW! That’s it, I’m tired of these swordfights that I can’t participate in!”

Ganondorf used his magic to create himself a sword out of pure evil. He now struck at Sephiroth, with surprising agility. The two fought it out for a few minutes, neither able to touch the other. Ganondorf seemed to have Sephiroth on the ropes more than a few times, when finally he managed to knock the blade out of his hands.

“A pity. And you had such potential, too. Poor fool, did you really think I was even trying through that whole fight?”

“Wh-What?”

“Your swordplay’s grown rusty without practice.”

Sephiroth grabbed Ganondorf’s makeshift blade by the edge, forcibly wrenching it out of his hands. The he flipped it, grabbed the handle, and plunged the blade downward through Ganondorf’s skull and out under his jaw. Ganondorf uttered a painful groan as he was transformed into stone through the act.

Sephiroth turned to look at the two surviving villains. He was about to say, “Who’s next?” but was cut off by Dr. Eggman, already seated in his gigantic battle mech, the Egg Dragoon.

“Bring it on! Have a load of this!”

One arm of the mech, with a gatling gun attached, began firing a steady stream of energy blasts at Sephiroth. All Sephiroth could see, however, was the flashing blue spot on the front of the robot.

“… Do you make your robots this easy to destroy on purpose, or it it just that you’re too stupid to realize it?”

“Realize what?”

“That your battle mech has a giant freaking target in the place that’s probably its weak spot. Seriously, I’m gonna test this theory out here.”

Sephiroth rushed up to the blue spot before Eggman could stop him with the drill-arm of his mech. He punched the machine in the supposed weak spot, and suddenly the whole thing exploded and fell to pieces. Eggman, popping out of the Dragoon in his Floating Egg, attempted to fly away. Sephiroth wasn’t about to let him.

“No wonder you always lose.”

With a backhanded slap, Sephiroth snapped Eggman’s neck. With no one driving the Floating Egg, it fell quickly to the ground with Eggman’s body in it. Sephiroth dropped to the ground as well.

Sephiroth glanced over at Bowser, standing in front of the Super Vague Weapon. This would be the final fight… the Final Fantasy.

“RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!”

Bowser exploded with rage.

“That’s it! You think you’re tough, pretty boy? You haven’t seen tough until you’ve faced 1500 pounds of pure plumber-crushing meanness. I eat Yoshis for breakfast and Toads for lunch! You think you can beat me? Huh? I’ll chew you up and spit you back out, char-broiled and looking worse than when Kefka burned your disgusting face off!”

Sephiroth was silent, but a wide grin crossed his face. He lunged towards the Koopa King, sword raised.

Sephiroth began swinging his blade, but Bowser managed to deflect it with his razor-sharp claws. Spitting fireballs all the time, Bowser was successfully keeping Sephiroth at bay. At some points Sephiroth managed to strike Bowser, but the blows would glance harmlessly off of his shell. It seemed that the white warrior may have finally met his match.

Sephiroth stopped fighting, hopped backwards, and held out one of his hands, ready to fire an energy beam. As soon as he released it, Bowser slid into his shell, attempting to deflect the attack.

“…Perfect.”

Sephiroth released the attack, blasting the shell and sending it spinning into the wall. When it was knocked back, the warrior readied himself… and then kicked the shell with all his might. It spun off, slowing down, and Bowser was thrown out of his own shell, dizzied.

The Koopa King quickly recovered, but was unable to slip back into his shell before Sephiroth closed in on him.

“And this, Bowser, makes five dead villains today, and one victorious Sephiroth. Goodbye.”

Sephiroth lunged with his sword, plunging it straight through Bowser’s soft underbelly. Kicking the King off his blade, he began to walk away.

[Chaotix]

Bowser dared not make a sound. He was in terrible pain, and the wound that Sephiroth had inflicted might kill him within the hour. For now, he still had time. Sephiroth was reveling in his own strength… if he could only…

He reached the control panel of the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom, crawling along the floor. Finding the mode switch, he changed it from “Empower” to "Destroy". Now, using the only means he could, he smashed his head on the fire button and hoped for the best.

Sephiroth barely had time to realize what was going on. He turned, hearing electrical whirring, only to see the so-called Super Weapon readying to fire again. It remained set to the same target it had last time. The energy cannon fired, this time a huge, searing laser beam instead of energizing radio-waves. Sephiroth was disintegrated, pretty face, wings, and all, before he could let out a scream.

“Now… make it heal ‘em… all of ‘em… bring them back to life…”

Bowser smashed his head on the control panel a few more times. Somehow, this miracle machine seemed to understand him, although it’s doubtful it enjoyed the head-bashing.

On the screen showed a question.

“SET SUPER VAGUE WEAPON TO ‘HEAL ALL VILLAINS’? Y/N”

After struggling to find the ‘Y’ key on the keyboard, Bowser agreed.

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

Just two days later, all of the villains (without Kefka, Dimentio, Sephiroth, and the Antiheroes, of course) were ready to fire up the machine for the final time. This would grant each and every one of them their greatest desire: to rule their worlds, to destroy their galaxies, even to drive the fastest high-speed racing cars. But each and every villain would get his wish, and be sent back to his own dimension.

Dr. Eggman, Ganondorf, and Bowser would stay in touch, of course- Eggman sent with each of them a powerful AI-based robot, to help set up an inter-dimensional communications post.

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

BOWSER was finally able to defeat the remaining Mario brother, and all of his stupid friends. He kidnapped Princess Peach, this time for good, and made himself King of the Mushroom Kingdom. He uses the Toads as his own personal footstools when he is not making mushroom sandwiches out of them for lunch. Still, there are rumors of Mario still living underground, in the pipe systems… every time he appears, he is promptly trounced.

DR. EGGMAN exacted his revenge on Sonic the Hedgehog, killing him and every one of his little animal friends. He has learned a valuable lesson in not placing glowing targets on his giant battle robots, and this has made him all the more powerful. He rules over the Earth of his dimension with an iron fist, and has created an Eggman Empire of robots and machinery.

GANONDORF killed that stupid Link kid and wiped out his hero lineage once and for all. He took the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda as well, and killed her, having no use for her any longer. Now, with all three pieces of the Triforce, he literally rains terror over Hyrule. He has made his world a sadistic plaything, and all the people are his ants to step on.

META-RIDLEY continually terrorizes the galaxy again and again. His force of Space Pirates has toppled the Galactic Federation, and Samus Aran has nearly been killed by him on several occasions. While she just barely manages to survive, the winged terror will finish her off one of these days… and if he doesn’t, she’s bound to run out of oxygen someday, anyway.

THE BLACK KNIGHT finally regained the use of both his limbs and his head. His armor is now truly impenetrable to any sword, and he has used this strength to make himself the King of all of Tellius. He has defeated and killed Ike of the Greil Mercenaries, toppled the Begnion Empire, and even crushed the Dragons of Goldoa. He is truly an unstoppable force.

ALL OF THE OTHER VILLAINS achieved their greatest wishes as well, in their own dimensions. But they weren’t alive at the final lynch so the host says they don’t get a little victory message of their own, because he doesn’t have nearly enough time to do that.

VICTORY: VILLAINS!
