The Smash Freshman

Chapter 7: Mega Man’s Fury

    Villager, Rock, Rush, and the Wii Fit Trainer stood together on the small platform in front of Dr. Wily’s Fortress facing the gigantic blob monster The Yellow Devil. The monster rumbled at them in a sort of mouthless roar. It closed its eye and its body began to separate once again.

    “Everybody, move!”

    Villager ran forward and ducked as a small blob flew past him. He stood and dodged to the left to avoid another, then used his hands to propel himself up and over a low-flying one. After they had all passed by, he found himself on the opposite side of the platform alongside Rock and Rush as the monster reformed behind them.

    “Where’s Wii Fit Trainer?” Villager asked.

    The three looked around before spotting the Trainer on the small moving platform behind the monster. “What is she doing?” Rock asked.

    The Trainer launched herself from the platform and clung to the top of the beast’s head. She swung her legs up and around and landed a painful kick right in the monster’s eye. The monster howled as the Trainer landed next to Villager and Rock. “Sometimes, I think it might be smart to get at least one projectile attack,” she said, catching her breath.

    “Right,” Rock said, “Well, don’t get cocky.”

    “The attack is coming again,” Villager warned. The group dodged out of the way as the swarm of yellow blobs flew at them again. After it was over, they found themselves back on the side they started out on.

    “Alright,” Rock said. “Here’s the plan. I’ll stand on the moving platform firing off laser blasts, while you two try to get in close with your UP Bs, and hit him with your bowling balls and kicks.”

    Rush barked.

    “Rush, you stay on the ground to provide a distraction. Go!”

    Villager put on his balloon hat and lifted into the air. The Trainer ascended with her hula hoops right beside him. Balls of light flew past them, striking the monster, as the two maneuvered in towards the monster’s eye. As soon as they felt their UP Bs starting to run out of juice, Villager pulled out his bowling ball and chucked it right into the devil’s eye as the Trainer used her momentum to land another kick. The monster moaned in agony, sweeping out with its hand and knocking the trainer out of the way, sending her plummeting off of the stage platform.

    “Oh no, Trainer!” Villager said. He swooped with the last bit of life his balloons had left and managed to catch her just in time. The balloons finally gave out as he hovered just a few inches above the platform.

    “I got you,” he said.

    Wii Fit Trainer looked up at Villager. A part of her seemed to look grateful, but another part looked inexplicably upset. “I didn’t need your help, Germ,” she said.

    Villager rolled his eyes. “Looked like it to me,” he said, pulling her up.

    “Guys, look out!” Rock shouted.

    The Yellow Devil was blinking in fury. It abandoned its normal attack pattern and simply charged at them all. Villager and Wii Fit Trainer had barely enough time to react to get out of its way. The monster turned around to come after them again when it was distracted by Rush attacking its legs. The beast balled up its huge fist and, with one powerful punch, smashed Rush into pieces.

    “Rush!” Rock shouted.

    The monster raised its fist to reveal the shattered remains of Rock’s dog. Most of his torso had caved in, with small broken pieces lying on the ground around it and a large crack in the spring plate. The dog’s eyes had gone dark and a couple of its legs were lying separate from its body.

    Villager and Wii Fit Trainer stood, looking stunned at what had just happened. The monster turned to them, hatred in its eye. “You monster!” the Trainer shouted, running straight for the beast, not noticing that its body was breaking apart into individual blobs.

    “Trainer, watch out!” Villager said, shoving her out of the way and receiving the full brunt of a particularly massive blob. Pain ripped through his body as he realized that these blobs were even more powerful than he had imagined. He barely processed anything as he slammed into the steel of the platform and landed dangerously close to the edge.

    “Vil!” Rock shouted.

    “Germ!” the Trainer said.

    Villager raised his head and blinked blearily at the two of them as a massive yellow object formed between them.

    “That’s it!” the Trainer shouted as she ran toward the beast and Rock hopped back onto the moving platform to cover her. She whipped out her hula hoops and spun them around her body, lifting herself into the air and throwing herself directly into the monster’s face. She clung to the sides of its head and repeatedly kicked it in its eye. A yelp of pain escaped her lips as the monster grabbed ahold of her ponytail and pulled her off of itself. Using the ponytail, it whipped her around like a rag doll and slammed her against the ground before throwing her at Rock. Fortunately, Rock managed to grab her before she flew too far and set her down on the platform. She was out cold.

    Rock looked up at the monster. He remembered all the times he had faced off against this thing and how easy it had seemed to defeat it. Now, here he was facing it again, after it had hurt his dog and two of his fellow newcomers. The question of how it had gotten here in the first place briefly crossed his mind, but right now, he was too angry to give it much though. He hopped down off the platform, landing next to the mangled body of Rush.

    “Alright, Yellow Devil!” he shouted. “It’s just you and me, just like old times. You want me, come and get me.”

    The monster’s eye narrowed, and Rock could tell it remembered all those battles too. Rock quickly tapped a command into the small panel on its arm as the monster started sending blobs after him once again. Rock dodged out of the way and turned around to see it reforming. He pressed a final button on the panel. A pair of razor sharp circular saw blade ejected from his wrists and he threw them right into the Yellow Devil’s eye the second its lid opened. He typed in another command and charged at the beast, jumping and firing blasts of electrical current into its eye. As soon as he was close enough, he balled up his fist and entered in a command that detached his arm and rocketed it right into the pupil.

    Rock landed and backed up as the monster started to separated again. He dodged around the blobs, held up his arm stub so that his arm could re-attach, and turned around to face the monster again. He could see that the beast was near the end of its health and a strong enough hit might be enough to finish it off. He could see Villager stirring behind the monster. Villager caught his eye and gestured toward the platform’s edge behind him. Rock nodded.

    He typed in a command and shot a small glowing device that attached itself to the monster’s eye. The monster flailed around, trying to get the device off of itself. Rock typed in another command, and started blasting fire at the monster’s feet, driving it backwards to where Villager was waiting to trip it. Just before it reached Villager, Rock pressed a button on his arm, detonating the device on its face. The force of the blast, with some help from Villager, helped to knock over the beast, toppling it and sending it flailing to the sharp rocks below. Rock hurried to the edge to see the monster land hard on the ground below and dissolve into a lifeless pile of yellow goo.

    Breathing heavily, Rock slumped to the ground beside Villager. “What a fight, huh?” he said. He could feel his battery slowly running out of juice.

    “What do you three think you are doing here?” a familiar voice said behind them. Villager and Rock turned to see Samus and Pit marching toward them. From the look on their faces, they were not pleased.

In this chapter, Villager, Rock, Rush, and the Wii Fit Trainer continue their fight against the Yellow Devil.
