[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption [Concluded]

[Greyblades]

Is this confirmed, or are you just assuming your going to die?

[classical_hero]

I think he assumes, unless he knows more about the game than we do.

[Greyblades]

I think he assumes, unless he knows more about the game than we do.

I think it's a given he knows more about this than we do at this point.

Night 3

After the disappearance of Meta-Ridley, the crew of the GFS Olympus was at a loss for what to do. Clearly they had a dangerous dragon on board who was somehow posing as one of them- a dragon who also happened to be the leader of the Space Pirates that the ship had been initially en route to attack. But Meta-Ridley had also destroyed Dark Samus, another of the greatest enemies of the Galactic Federation. Nobody would be taking any chances tonight. It was certain they’d all be up late securing a defensive position.

All of them except for Barrett Wallace, that is.

Barrett never missed sleep for anything, and tonight was no exception. Besides, if anyone bothered him, he had a machine for an arm. You don’t mess with a guy with a gun at the end of his arm. It wasn’t like anyone else on this ship had high-tech arm-mounted guns or anything.

He was kind of bummed out about the death of his good friend Cloud Strife… still, he supposed he was better off dead than living under the control of the Dark Hunter.

Barrett continued to sleep peacefully, even when his steel door was kicked down forcefully. A huge, rotund silhouette could be seen in the doorway. The large assassin hefted his equally large hammer into the air. After pressing a button, the hammer roared like a jet engine and was sheathed in flames. This amount of noise, however, shook Barrett awake.

The muscled warrior sprung to hit feet and kicked the assassin in the face, causing him to lose his balance. Then he began firing with his machine gun arm and loaded up the assassin with bullets.

Or at least, he would have, if the huge figure hadn’t been spinning his hammer rapidly and blocking them all. The assassin smashed Barrett with his fiery hammer, sending him flying into the wall. The wall was bent and Barrett was stuck in it. The lumbering assassin walked up to the stunned Barrett and whacked him with the hammer again, this time sending him through the wall, as well as the next two behind it.

After checking to make sure he had hit his mark, the dark figure waddled away into the depths of the ship.

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

The white wolf Amaterasu sprinted throughout the ship at full speed, leaving behind a trail of flowers as it went.

Earlier, she had been approached by a small, yellow, mouse-like creature. The mouse had seemed friendly and playful at first, but after a few minutes Amaterasu had realized that it had glowing blue eyes and stared at her dementedly whenever it thought she wasn’t watching.

When the creature had suddenly launched a powerful electric blast at her, she was prepared and dodged, then began to run away. They were now in the midst of a cat-and-mouse chase… or rather a mouse-and-dog chase. Amaterasu dared not look behind her, but she heard the creature’s shrieks and the objects exploding with electricity behind her.

Finally, she hung a hard left into a corridor and left the creature behind. She continued sprinting through what appeared to be a large room used for communications- which had long been abandoned since they were cut. She kept running until she bumped into a large, armored figure with its back to here. The figure turned around immediately and aimed its gun.

Amaterasu had escaped from one danger only to encounter another. The Hunter charged up her arm cannon, and an orb of pure light energy began growing steadily at the end of it. The white wolf was paralyzed with surprise, caught like a deer in the headlights of a car. From behind, she heard the yellow mouse bounding into the room, bristling with static electricity and growling.

There was a blinding flash as both the light beam and the thunderbolt were fired at her. But when Amaterasu opened her eyes, she was unharmed. A huge, chiseled figure of a man stood next to her, holding up a powerful force field that blocked both attacks.

Both the Hunter and Pikachu were shocked. Then they noticed each other, and each quickly retreated back into the shadows. Amaterasu looked back towards her Captain, wanting to thank him, but he was gone without a trace, as if he had never been there at all. Amaterasu hurried back to her quarters.

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

Deep in the lower sections of the GFS Olympus, the bounty hunter Gandrayda ventured.

Down here, near the Cargo Bay, nearly all of the lighting equipment had been destroyed when the ship had been struck. Now the crew knew that Meta-Ridley was the one who had forced his way on board. Gandrayda thought that the dragon had probably lodged himself in the Cargo Bay itself, since it was one of the only rooms large enough for him to move around effectively. Since there was no lighting, not many had dared to venture down here since the attack had begun.

In fact, there was only one other crew member who had been down here previously…

“Don’t move!”

Jill Valentine had her gun pointed directly at Gandrayda.

“There’s something very dangerous down here… it’s best if you leave at once.”

The look on Gandrayda’s face was a mixture of amusement and confusion.

“What’s the matter, Jill? Not scared, are you? Besides… if it’s so dangerous, why are you down here yourself?”

“You need to go, and you need to do it now.”

“Why’s that? So you can finish your little chat with Meta-Ridley? Is that it? I’m no fool, Jill. I know what you’re up to, and I know what you can do… like this!”

Gandrayda produced a large ball of flame in her hand and held it there. Pallor passed over Jill’s face, and a red glint flashed in her eyes.

“You’re wrong, Gandrayda. You are quite the fool, and have sealed your own fate. Down here, no one is going to hear you scream!”

The illusion faded, and Jill Valentine’s true form was revealed, lit by the flames in Gandrayda’s hands.

Princess Peach, corrupted by an evil force, stood before her. She produced fireballs in her own hands, identical to the one Gandrayda held, and threw them at her. Gandrayda dodged, and began fighting fire with fire.

The cat fight continued, but Shadow Peach was gaining the upper hand. She had clearly had more practice using her own powers than Gandrayda had. However, there was one watching from the shadows who interrupted their battle.

“SCREEEEEEECHRRROOOOOOOAAAAARRRR!”

Meta-Ridley swooped in from the high ceiling and shot a massive fireball into the midst of the battle, throwing both combatants to the ground. The massive dragon landed between them, and faced Shadow Peach with a devious grin on his reptilian face. He began slashing at the dark princess with his razor-sharp claws, and she was barely swift enough to avoid the attacks.

Gandrayda was almost mesmerized by the battle. She could have easily slipped away at this point, but that was not what she came to do. She saw only one possible way to come out on top.

The bounty hunter took a good look at Meta-Ridley, and then jumped onto his back, grabbing hold of his metal-plated spine. The dragon was confused and disoriented, and Shadow Peach managed to blast him in the face with a fiery attack. When she looked at the damage, though, she was seeing double.

Gandrayda had shape-shifted and somehow managed to take the form of Meta-Ridley. She lunged forward and grabbed Shadow Peach in her new talons, and then flew high into the air. She opened her mouth to launch a fire blast at the princess, but she was not yet used to this new form.

Shadow Peach seized the opportunity and blasted Gandrayda in the face with a fireball, causing her to lose her grip. Peach remained floating in the air, and reached forward herself, gripping Gandrayda by her scaly neck. Burning the bounty hunter with her clenched fists, she dove and plunged her head-first into the metal deck below.

Gandrayda, drained of all energy, resumed her normal form on the floor. Shadow Peach stood triumphantly over her.

“Hmph… at least I’ll take you with me…”

Shadow Peach wondered for a moment what she meant as the light left her eyes. Then she came to a dreaded realization when she heard the growling behind her.

The princess was impaled by Meta-Ridley’s tail, sharp as a spear, before she could turn around. When Meta-Ridley withdrew his tail and dropped her to the ground, however, she did not bleed. Wisps of red and black smoke left her body, and she screamed with hatred and agony.

When all of the dark energy had left her body, Meta-Ridley caught a glimpse of her eyes, in their normal, sparkling blue coloration, just before she lost consciousness.

Begin Day 4!

I'm doing results PMs now. There are a lot, so bear with me please.

[classical_hero]

Beskar is listed as both dead and alive.

[thefluffyone93]

Hohoho!
Well done!

Wait a sec, wasn't king dedede killed in an earlier game?

[autolycus]

Well, all I can guess as to why this happened is that both corruptions decided to follow my lead, and beskar chose revenge, figuring we won't leave the giant metal space-dragon alive for too long. Nice work Captain Falcon. I think that clears Frozen, since I'll bet he's Amaterasu. If someone else is, I recommend they claim, since the corruptions already know who you are.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Thank you captain, for protecting Seon as I asked. I cannot believe two scums would attack a dude I said needed to be protected.

I am going to assume I took serious damage from that battle, and I'm all out of luck for next time.
Edit: Or not? Was I even attacked?

Frozen in Ice was scanned last night, because you guys were extremely suspicious of him. I wanted to confirm if he would be a good lynch or a bad lynch.

Waiting on results.

[Seon]

Actually, I'm Amaterasu ;).

Boo, phazons and Samus. BOOOO.

[classical_hero]

It seem like every time there is an extended period it is bad for the mafia, so can we extend this day also?

[thefluffyone93]

So, now that all of these guys are dead, do we have any ideas on who pikachu is?
And I'm guessing king dedede would be under bowser's faction, right?

[pevergreen]

It seem like every time there is an extended period it is bad for the mafia, so can we extend this day also?

+1

Silly Princess, go back to making Mario some cake.

[Frozen In Ice]

It seems your pessimism was unwarranted ATPG. And I was scanned so I should be cleared of everyone appearing in the write-up now.

[Beskar]

beskar chose revenge

Not going to get a liar get away with talking nonsense to get me killed.

[autolycus]

It doesn't look to me like you were even attacked, atpg.

[Beskar]

It seems your pessimism was unwarranted ATPG. And I was scanned so I should be cleared of everyone appearing in the write-up now.

It's funny who arranged that clearing as well. Could it be that Beskar was telling the truth?

[classical_hero]

It was the truth, but not the whole truth. ;) A big difference between the two.

[Greyblades]

Hohoho!
Well done!

Wait a sec, wasn't king dedede killed in an earlier game?

He was in the first game, but kirby was killed in that game, so maybe he tagged along with ridley seeing as his nemesis was already dead.

[thefluffyone93]

So that puts dedede under what faction, exactly?

[Greyblades]

Well he was a villian in the first one, and was on the same side as ridley. Maybe he's another serial killer like pizza?

[autolycus]

Not going to get a liar get away with talking nonsense to get me killed.

It seems to me like he was telling the truth or something close to it. If anyone would have the power to copy abilities, it's Gandrayda.

On another note, Link's killer doesn't fit either of our known scum teams. I'm sure we would have gotten some nice color-coded eyes if he were part of one of our primary teams. So the question is, innocent vig, neutral, or SK.


Revised Team List
GF Survivalists- ???-One batch of townies
IDFH Survivalists- ???- Another Batch of townies
Heroes- Final batch
Phazon Corrupted- Dark Samus, Cloud Strife, Pikachu- First Scum Squad
Bowser Corrupted- Shadow Peach, Samus, Cool Dude???- Second Scum Squad, I'm still not convinced that the cold killer on Night 2 was Shadow Peach
Meta-Ridley- SK/Neutral- Or possibly part of larger Space Pirate scum faction?
Hammer-Man- ????????

[thefluffyone93]

TWO serial killers?
Doubt it, and why hasn't he killed before this?
Unless he has, and I'm too stupid to remember it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Ah, so winston was innocent after all. Massive wall posts of accusation from scum can taint even town, and that request for attacks on pizza after pizza said something about it being likely the mafia would gang up on him.

Scumhunting time!

Beskar has scumbuddies so we could look for them...

[Greyblades]

Well at least we didnt have to waste a lynch to find out. Pizza even offed beskar for us so, hey, bonus!

King Dedede. (unknown faction)

http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/King_Dedede

Lack of Red Eyes and Blue Eyes or dialogue hints indicates to me a possible vigilante or recent recruit. Not our main target. This is his first kill.

Still, a vigilante attacking Link?

Meh... I guess it fits. Link wasn't very talkative; if you can't investigate, killing people off can make sense.

I do doubt the Serial Killer theory; he would have killed before, and he's obviously not scan then killing, because Link was a nobody.

Dedede is not a Serial Killer, IMO.

Samus and Pikachu, rival mafia factions, both attack Seon/Amaterasu, and are protected by Captain Falcon. Good call Cap'n.

Two less townie deaths tonight.
