The Council of Villains- Summary Thread

[Chaotix]

Day 11

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“That’s it! I’ll destroy you, idiot!”

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

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

“And now… we duel!”

Ganondorf looked embarrassed now.

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

“It’s of no consequence to me.”

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

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

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

“Shut up.”

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

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

Night 11 Begins

[Chaotix]

Night 11

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Day 12 Begins

[Chaotix]

Day 12

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Eggman spoke up now.

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

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

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

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

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

Sephiroth was now visibly shaking with rage.

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

I… AM… SEPHIROTH!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“SCCRRRRREEEEEEEEECCHHRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRR!!”

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

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

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

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

Now Sephiroth turned his cruel eyes on Ganondorf.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Wh-What?”

“Your swordplay’s grown rusty without practice.”

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

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

“Bring it on! Have a load of this!”

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

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

“Realize what?”

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

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

“No wonder you always lose.”

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

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

“RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!”

Bowser exploded with rage.

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

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

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

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

“…Perfect.”

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

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

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

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

[Chaotix]

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

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

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

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

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

On the screen showed a question.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VICTORY: VILLAINS!
