The Council of Villains- Summary Thread

[Chaotix]

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)
Glenn - 1 (Beefy187)
Taka- 0 (Khazaar) [QJC - 1]

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…
