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

[pevergreen]

hmm, what's up with the simon beaufort guy then? Maybe that's a third party role.

And choxorn, I did a thermal scan on pever last night, so I can't be pikachu.

Cause mafia can't have scanning powers.

Or lie.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Cause mafia can't have scanning powers.

Or lie.

How did I know you were active if I wasn't scanning you? And if I was scanning you how could I be killing? I'm clearly not pikachu.

My actions from other nights are accounted for too as anyone I've stolen something from knows (classical, jht, jht, nictel).

[Choxorn]

In that case, Beefy and ACIN are the only ones who can possibly be Pikachu.

[Askthepizzaguy]

[DELETE_THIS]

So it is simple, captain falcon takes out ACIN. Dane does beefy and vivian sasaki. In the end autolycus is pikachu :p.

[Beefy187]

I've told this to Sasaki and autolycus but I'm scanning Sasaki tonight.

Hope you don't lynch me tomorrow because that would be a big mistake.

[Choxorn]

So it is simple, captain falcon takes out ACIN. Dane does beefy and vivian sasaki. In the end autolycus is pikachu :p.

Considering what we know about the characters, I'm willing to bet that Vivian IS Sasaki. So... yeah.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hope you don't lynch me tomorrow because that would be a big mistake.

I love you, Beefy.

[Diamondeye]

Why are you hiding behind a curtain?

It's a thing between me and Beefy. But it's also to tease you with the incredible WIFOM potential of my comments on Beefy just before my lynch.

As if being inactive would have changed anything. You'd all decided I must go.

And thanks to my action last night, I know who Pikachu is.

This keeps getting better! Fantastic! Keep quiet though, I want to see if the town can catch Sasaki on their own.

[Beefy187]

Yes. Me and Diamondeye goes way back

[Seon]

I just discovered the ultimate secret of this universe. I can see everything so clearly now. I want to shout out something right here, but I think I am just going to wait until the end.

[pevergreen]

I just discovered the ultimate secret of this universe. I can see everything so clearly now. I want to shout out something right here, but I think I am just going to wait until the end.

Thats nothing compared to what I just found out.

I hope Beefychu kills Sasaki.

[Seon]

Thats nothing compared to what I just found out.

I hope Beefychu kills Sasaki.

Silence heathen, before I bring out the Punisher. Surely my secret is greater than thou.

If not, I am going to be screaming something else.

[thefluffyone93]

Silence heathen, before I bring out the Punisher. Surely my secret is greater than thou.

If not, I am going to be screaming something else.

You mean

[Csargo]

I CAN BE YOUR HERO BABY.

[thefluffyone93]

Hah! I got the plural version!

[Seon]

You mean

Slightly more obscene than that.

[thefluffyone93]

Slightly more obscene than that.

Oh dear....
I don't think I can find a picture for that...

[Beefy187]

Beefychu uses the innocent smile
Its super effective.

[Chaotix]

Putting the finishing touches on the write-up... bear with me, please.

[thefluffyone93]

Putting the finishing touches on the write-up... bear with me, please.

[DELETE_THIS]

I can do video too.

[Diamondeye]

Beefychu uses the innocent smile
Its super effective.

[thefluffyone93]

My videos are better.

Night 12

The following night was quiet. The seven survivors had waited almost the whole night, listening carefully for the sound of an attack some place on the ship. Finally, a few of them got fed up.

Banjo and his pal Kazooie were on their way to Siegfried’s stronghold, and they were passing through the main chamber on their way.

The bear’s paws crackled with electricity. When the duo had entered the large chamber, however, they saw a figure on the other side. It was none other than Siegfried Schtauffen himself, given away by his shining crystal armor.

Siegfried stared at the bear and bird determinedly.

“You don’t have to hide it any more, Banjo! I know that you are really Pikachu. That backpack is the perfect place for hiding a mouse… I WILL ATONE FOR MY SINS!”

The shining knight charged with his sword drawn.

“You’re wrong, there’s no way a Pikachu could fit in that backpack with Kazooie already inside!”

“Hey! You calling me fat, pudgy?”

“Can it, Kazooie! Anyway… I’ll bet Pikachu’s hiding inside that armor of yours! I’ll tear him out with my bear hands!”

Banjo charged head on at Siegfried as well. He sidestepped the knight’s bladework and struck at his armor with a paw. Electricity surged from inside Siegfried’s armor and through Banjo.

Before whatever was happening could finish, however, a shadow sprung forth from a dark pool on the ground and struck at Banjo with a fiery fist.

Vivian was poised, ready to strike at the bear and bird, who had been knocked to the ground.

“I knew it! I knew you were the killer! Now you’ll feel my burning wrath!”

Before Vivian could finish off the duo, however, a leather tendril caught around her wrist. They all swerved around to the left to see the vampire hunter Simon Belmont, holding her back with his legendary whip. His silent gaze was piercing.

“Let me go, or I’ll destroy you just the same!”

“Vivian! I thought we were supposed to be the good guys! You’re ready to kill anyone who gets in your way?”

To the right stood Goombario, who had been overlooked since he was considerably smaller than the rest of them.

“I’m sure that it was Pikachu who tried to burn me to death… maybe it’s been YOU this whole time!”

“Stop! Vivian helped us defeat that monster Gorea, or don’t you remember?”

Behind them all was the Galactic Federation Researcher, Blair Grey.

Quickly the group all turned on her.

“And what about you, Grey? Where did you get that Super Missile?”

“Why is it that you, a defenseless researcher, managed to survive to the end easily while all of us heroes are struggling?”

“Aren’t you the last GF crew member besides Admiral Dane?”

“DID SOMEBODY CALL MY NAME?”

At the entrance to the chamber was Admiral Dane himself. He strode over to them calmly.

“I think you will find that not one of you is the rodent we are looking for.”

“Then…”

“It couldn’t be…”

“ADMIRAL DANE IS PIKACHU?”

Dane endured their dull, witless accusations for a few seconds before silencing them all.

“No, you fools! Look over there!”

Dane pointed toward the left side of the room, where the headless body of Kanden was still lying after its decapitation the day before. Suddenly, it began to stir, and electricity crackled around it. The chest plate burst open, and a small yellow figure shot upwards before landing down on the floor below.

“PI…”

Pikachu's blue eyes burned intensely with a cold rage. The air around it was snapping and popping with a static field.

“KAAAA…”

A massive vortex of electricity and Phazon energy surrounded the creature. The seven survivors backed away from the deadly field of energy but could only stare in awe at it.

“CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!”

The vortex exploded into an incredible storm of electric energy. Lightning bolts shot forth from Pikachu’s body, striking the walls and floor of the chamber and creating large, blackened craters. The survivors took cover from the lightning, but were still shocked by the constant field of static electricity radiating from the creature.

Admiral Dane held up a force field around himself and tried to approach Pikachu. The barrier had been enough to defend him from every previous attack, but when the thunder attack hit it this time, the barrier shattered, and Dane was flung like a rag doll against the wall of the chamber. The Admiral limped out of the room, feeling his Energy Tank draining.

With its major adversary incapacitated, Pikachu stopped the storm and began zipping around the room, striking individually at its prey. When they tried to escape, Pikachu overloaded the automatic doors, made of heavy steel, and made them shut tight, trapping them all. Vivian and Banjo tried to fight back, but they could not even get near the creature without being electrocuted by the Phazon-charged vortex surrounding it. Pikachu began charging up for its famous Volt Tackle attack.

Without warning, one of the doors was smashed open and a figure sped in, moving as fast as Pikachu had been running before. It shot straight toward Pikachu and delivered a powerful knee to the face before retreating with a series of acrobatic flips. Captain Falcon stood as the last bastion holding back the mighty Pikachu.

“SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!”

Pikachu was undeterred. Phazon-charged lightning shot from its body and struck the Captain, shattering his so-called impenetrable barrier that seemed so similar to Dane’s. Falcon screamed as he was steadily electrocuted, until eventually his clothing and even skin melted off.

But underneath Captain Falcon’s skin was not muscle and bone tissue as one might expect. A complete, chiseled figure of a man stood in Falcon’s place. He was not screaming anymore, nor did he even appear to be in pain.

Chuck Norris, with a wave of his hand, shorted out the electric current that Pikachu had been sustaining. All stared in awe at him- even Pikachu. Slowly he walked toward the creature. Then, lifting it into the air, he brought its face within inches of his own, so that Pikachu could almost feel his manly beard bristling against its own fur. And Chuck Norris stared deeply into Pikachu’s corrupted blue eyes.

In an instant, the spell was broken, and Pikachu snapped back to reality, its eyes returning to their normal black color. But Pikachu’s skin was still tinged with blue, a sign of near-complete Phazon corruption. The creature looked around in a daze at first. Then, as if recalling some terrible occurrence, it squeaked and sprinted out of the room.

Chuck Norris turned to the six survivors.

“Follow me. I know where we’ll find it.”

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

Pikachu sat in the center of the morgue, viewing all of the carnage it had wrought with tears streaming down its blue cheeks. It remembered being forced to destroy its own comrades: Sora, Master Chief, Slippy Toad, and most of all, Link. It remembered those that the other corrupted killers had destroyed. Pikachu ignored Chuck Norris and the six survivors entering as it noticed something even more terrible.

In particular, the body of the hero Pit reenked with the smell of decay, but Pikachu still snuggled up to it as close as it could. Discharging electricity from its body, Pikachu tried to restart the hearts of its fallen friends, but the effort was in vain. Their bodies were as cold as stone.

Pikachu now turned to Chuck Norris, and slowly approached him. It spoke in a pleading voice.

“Pika-pi! Pika-pi…”

Chuck Norris, translating for the crew, explained the situation.

“Pikachu has regained its consciousness, but it is still corrupted with Phazon. It is so completely corrupted, in fact, that it is impossible to purge the Phazon from its body. Pikachu, realizing it has become an abomination, desires atonement for its deeds in death.”

The crew could not help but feel pity for the twisted, pathetic creature.

“I will grant it this last request.”

Chuck Norris stared at Pikachu once again. With the strength of his mind alone, he broke a single bone in the structure of Pikachu’s neck. The creature fell to the ground silently, dying a painless death.

“Let us return to the central chamber.”

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

When the six survivors had returned with Chuck Norris to the main meeting chamber of the once-great GFS Olympus, they were weary, but relieved that the ordeal was finally over. But there was one question that was still bugging them. Blair Grey spoke up.

“So… you were Captain Falcon all along. But what happened to Admiral Dane?”

Chuck Norris gave them all his trademarked smile.

“I am Admiral Dane.”

“But that’s impossible! How can you be both Falcon and Dane at the same time?”

“Very well. Tell me when you have seen Captain Falcon and Admiral Dane in the same room.”

The crew members racked their brains, but could not remember any such occurrence.

“That’s right… Dane and Falcon always switched off during the lynch every day.”

“And they never showed up until the end, every time!”

“Then you will all agree that I am therefore the commander of both the IDFH and GF forces on this ship?”

The crew members nodded.

“Then here are my commands. Over the course of this conversation I have restored the ship to its original conditions. I have destroyed all of the Phazon in the Quarantine Bay. I trust now that you have seen the dangers of corruption, you will no longer attempt to exploit it for your own means."

The crew members continued to agree.

“It has long been my policy to avoid meddling in the affairs of mortals, but I made an exception here because I saw a chance to teach a lesson and make the universe a brighter place. Now that it is over, I will be returning to my own realm of existence to watch over the universe. Naturally, I will need to appoint successors or this ship will descend into anarchy again.”

The crew members awaited his words eagerly.

“Researcher Blair Grey… for your outstanding service in the name of the Galactic Federation, I confer on you the rank of Admiral.”

Grey stood and accepted the promotion, beaming. She was the only one left able to receive such a title.

“Vivian, for showing yourself to be capable of decisive action where necessary, I am appointing you as Commander of the IDFH forces in the Metroid dimension. Banjo and Kazooie, for your incredible intuition, you will serve jointly as Deputy Commander and Advisor to Vivian. You are to be considered Class-S Heroes.”

Banjo and Vivian proudly accepted their positions. Kazooie was slightly less dignified.

“What? Only a deputy? What’s the big idea?”

Chuck Norris turned to the remaining three survivors.

“Siegfried Schtauffen. Simon Belmont. Goombario. For outstanding perseverance, you are all awarded the rank of Class-A Hero.”

Chuck Norris now addressed the group as a whole.

“Here are your remaining tasks. The six of you are to see to it that Samus, Kirby, and Princess Peach all make a full recovery. Then you are to take this ship and use it to conquer the Space Pirate homeworld nearby. Without Meta-Ridley to lead them, they will be unable to mount a sufficient defense. Following that, the alliance between the GF and the IDFH shall be reforged. The GF will take control of this dimension, while the IDFH will send strike forces to reconquer the Banjo-Kazooie, Soulcalibur, and Castlevania dimensions. Is that clear?”

The six champions responded resoundingly.

“Yes, sir!”

“I am confident that you will all succeed. I must now return to my own realm. Be proud, for you have made this day a…”

AAAAAAAARRH STUPID FAKE ENDINGS

Or fake non-endings or whatever it's called.

Excellent game chaotix.

[thefluffyone93]

ZOMG I CALLED IT AWESOME BRO. CHUCK NORRIS IS GOD.
Oh snap, I guess I was wrong about landlubber.
That could have ended badly.

[Reenk Roink]

Thanks for hosting Chaotix.

Good job pever, one of the best performances I've seen in a while. Also, to Diamondeye, great run.

Town got helped a ton by the Mafia infighting early and the neutral/SK help.

[pevergreen]

In particular, the body of the hero Pit reenked with the smell of decay, but Pikachu still snuggled up to it as close as it could. Discharging electricity from its body, Pikachu tried to restart the hearts of its fallen friends, but the effort was in vain. Their bodies were as cold as stone.

You are Ash Reenk.

Ah well. Died eventually.
