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!”
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.
