The Council of Villains- Summary Thread

**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 Begins

**Chaotix** · 05-09-2009, 05:25

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.

Day 11 Begins

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

**Chaotix** · 05-13-2009, 23:55

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** · 05-16-2009, 19:42

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** · 05-19-2009, 13:56

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.
