The Council of Villains- Summary Thread

**Chaotix** · 05-09-2009, 05:16

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** · 05-09-2009, 05:18

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** · 05-09-2009, 05:20

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** · 05-09-2009, 05:22

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:

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** · 05-09-2009, 05:23

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

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:

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** · 05-11-2009, 03:19

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.
