Smash Brothers Civil War: Chapter 30

SUPER SMASH BROS. Civil War
Chapter 30: The Fall of the Capitol

The Smash Capitol

Unrest grew as crowds of citizens protested outside the Capitol, demanding that the government pay reparations and open the civil war-torn Smash City. Hundreds of people gathered holding signs that said the following:

“Let us return HOME!”, “We will not leave EMPTY!”, and “REMOVE THE SRA ACT!!”

They frequently asked that the administration show themselves.

The Secret Service and SRA Elite Agents guarded the entire perimeter, but only allowed almost half of the protesters into the lobby, since there were thousands outside. The directors were sitting in a fairly dark room with a light hanging over the table, discussing their next course of action.

“It seems reasonable to shut this protest down. I say we force them out with the National Guard,” spoke one of them.

“It will make us look even more unpopular,” said another.

“In any case, these protests can’t go on for long. We’ll open access to the cities. Now that they’re gone,” President Bowman issued.

“Speaking of that, have you heard from Samus Aran and her registered team?” asked one of them.

“No. I would imagine that she and her team disobeyed us and stormed into that outer dimension facility and caused the whole prison to blow up along with who knows how many lives,” Bowman assumed.

“And with that, we have no obstacles left to deal with,” told another.

“Then it’s settled. We’ll allow cities to be opened,” Bowman stood up.

****<<CRASH>>*****

A powerful shockwave caused a massive scare as a lot of people felt the ground shaking, as well the literal sky itself. People fell to the floor and ran away as quickly as they could.

“What’s going on out there?! An earthquake or an explosion?!” asked the official after getting back up.

“Everyone seems to be leaving. Can’t say that’s much of a relief,” said one of the other members.

“Could it be?!...” Bowman met a horrible realization that the Smashers were behind it.

The administration looked out from the porch and saw an army of mercenaries, led by the warlock Ganondorf on horseback. They marched to the Capitol in haste. Ganondorf was covered in battle armor and brandished his ghastly blade.

“Lord Ganondorf, do you know what that was?” asked one of the mercenaries.

“I don’t know. We’ll look into it later,” answered Ganondorf as they got closer to the building.

The executives gathered on the porch where they could see the entire army several stories below them. On horseback, Ganondorf brutally denounced the government officials as he waved his blade.

“We are here to reclaim what you have stolen from us!” yelled Ganondorf.

“Are you the ones responsible for that sudden outburst? If so, I assure you that this is no game we wish to participate in,” Bowman tried to reason.

“We play no such games, human!” said Ganondorf in anger.

“Well whatever it is, you’re trespassing on our soil. Now leave or we’ll have our soldiers decimate your army,” President Bowman urged.

“So be it!” Ganondorf shouted back as he turned to his men. “Bring forth the hostage!” he instructed his men to bring a politician over. Ganondorf showed no mercy and outright stabbed the representative in the right side of his back.

“Goodness!” one of the admins looked in horror.

“Your cities lie in ruins! And your rule is hardly endless. How long will your structure last as it crumbles from within? How disciplined will your subjects be when chaos is all they see?” Ganondorf told them.

“It does not matter what happens to them. As long as we stay in power, the people will continue to ravish in chaos as much as they please,” Bowman stated.

“Good. Then they shall have it all around!” Ganondorf shot back.

The SRA and Secret Service built up a strong defense from outside and in. The forces from inside guarded the protesters, who were unaware of the nanite army outside. Everyone was still protesting and waiting for the executives to meet their demands.

From inside the huge crowd, a man in a dark green hoodie stayed invisible. And a boy with a brown hat and trench coat stood by in the crowd from a safe distance.

“Please, just let us speak to someone from the administration!” one person begged.

“Are they trying to escape?” asked a paranoid person.

“No. I assure you they’re upstairs in an important meeting,” one of the soldiers assumed based on orders.

“If they’re not too afraid of us, tell them to come out,” said another protester.

“If they’re not gonna come out, we’ll give them a reason. Now let us through!” yelled another protester.

“Calm down, sir. Once they’re done with their meeting, they’ll be more than willing to meet your demands,” told a different soldier.

“Then why don’t they bring their asses downstairs and have that meeting in front of us?” said someone else.

“It doesn’t work that way. Don’t make us ask you again! Back away!” the same soldier raised his voice.

“I dare you to say that again!” replied the same person.

“Now. Now. There’s no need to start a fight. We’ll remain here and keep you guarded,” affirmed the soldier as the crowd reluctantly agreed to wait.

Outside, the SRA and Secret Service knew they were outnumbered fast. None of their bullets seemed to have any effect. Ganondorf and his horse were impervious to mortal weapons. As they drew closer, dozens of military helicopters showed up carrying tons of federal troops. The troops jumped off the helicopters and readied their rifles. Ganondorf bore a strikingly noticeable smirk. That’s when the entire sky became embezzled in red and covered up with dark red clouds. The sky started to become darker than usual.

A flying cybernetic dragon made a loud noise as it flew with its metal wings, Meta Ridley.

A deadly spider-like machine with a bratty kid resting inside crawled into the fight, Porky.

And then, riding on a motorcycle, was the infamous opposite of Mario, Wario.

The SRA and Secret Service did little but slow down the enemy. Soon, a group of mercenaries, each carrying a rocket launcher, fired directly at the Capitol’s entrance. The resulting blast alerted everyone inside. People were screaming and were in pain since the explosion hit some of them.

“Wahahahaha! We can go inside now,” laughed Wario.

“Find those fools. If they resist, yank their tongues. We have no use for them,” told Ganondorf.

More SRAs came out from around the perimeter of the building and shot at the enemy at far range. But it barely did anything to stop them. The nanite group went inside the Capitol and fired up their guns in the air.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, what’s going on? You can’t just hold us hostage like this!” said a staunch protester before one of the nanites outright shot the protester.

“AHHHHHH!!!” the protesters screamed in terror.

“Please don’t hurt us. Just let us leave,” said another protester when another nanite soldier gunned down the protester.

“Anyone else who makes a sound will die,” the nanite soldier threatened, making it clear to not repeat it again.

“Please, if you let us go, we’ll do whatever you say”, pleaded another protester before being shot all at once by the firing squad. After that, no one made a sound.

“Those heartless monsters!” the kid in the brown hat clenched his fists.

A young politician, appearing to have short black hair and a light brown suit was amongst the crowd. He tapped the shoulder of the hooded man and whispered to him. Strangely enough, the hooded guy understood everything. A small faction of nanites went upstairs to get the executive officials out of the office. The officials finished their meeting and formulated a plan to escape.

“Now’s the time. There’s an evac subway train we can use,” Bowman stated. “Have your guns at the ready,” he instructed. The entire administration pulled out their firearms and prepared to come out at last. Until it was too late.

The mercenaries sent to get the executives kicked the door open and ordered them to drop their weapons. Rather than murder them, the mercenaries sent them out to the main lobby where the people were still held captive. Though people saw the admins coming down to the lobby, they still did not make a sudden noise or reaction even though they had negative feelings about them.

“Why the hell are you dragging us down here?” said one of the admins..

“I thought you were going to kill us. Thank God that you didn’t,” said another official.

“Hey, if you let us go, we can work together on resolving some issues we may have haha,” another admin tried to cooperate with the nanites. Not willing to strike any deals, the nanites shot dead the admin in cold blood.

“Please, we’ll do whatever you want. We’ll confess. Just don’t kill us!” Bowman stated.

The admins begged the nanite mercenaries to not kill them. Without mercy, the mercenaries already laid up another firing squad and killed all of them, one at a time each.

“W-why?...” President Bowman, before dying in his own blood. The people looked on in pure fear as to the way the nanite carried out the execution.

Outside of the building, Ganondorf and the rest of the army obliterated the last of the SRA and Secret Service agents. Ganondorf proudly glared as he jumped off his horse and was about to head inside.

“Excellent. Now kill the rest,” the warlock ordered.

“Hey, sorry for dropping in so soon!” said the voice of young Pit who flew into the rescue. The nanites fired their guns at Pit as he miraculously dodged all the bullets. He landed inside the building and immediately pulled out his shield to defend himself.

One of the mercenaries was stabbed from behind by the hooded man. The kid in the trench coat leaped out of the brown jacket and hat to show off a young boy with a striped shirt, a cap, and a cracked baseball bat; Ness.

“Shoot the kid!” said the nanite soldier. Ness easily ran, ducked, and avoided all the bullets without trouble.

“PK Fire!” Ness used PK Fire and burned all the mercenaries.

The hooded figure ran outside and signaled everyone to stay inside and wait. Ness also went outside and battled through numerous soldiers all at once. The hooded man winded down his sword and cut and slashed through any mercenaries that faced him. Pit fired magical blue arrows as it flew back and forth. The nanites, on the other hand, were barely taking damage and used their anti-aircraft rockets to shoot down the angel. He had difficulty trying not to get hit.

“Wow, that was pretty cool,” said Pit.

“You’re in my skies now, kid! Get ready to die!!!” Meta Ridley stormed after him.

“Let’s do this!!” Pit met the challenge.

Ness confronted his old nemesis, Porky, and also came face to face with Wario. “Ness. It’s been a long time. How’ve you been, Spanky?” Porky mocked him.

“I’m alright, my friend,” replied Ness with a smile.

“That wasn’t a serious question. You did this to me! And now I’m gonna kill you with it,” Porky told him.

“You never change, do you Pokey? If I have to fight you one more time, I will,” Ness replied with confidence.

“I’m good with that,” said Porky as he stretched his spider arms and struck Ness directly. Ness got up and then Wario attacked from behind him.

“Wahahahaha! There’s nowhere you can go,” laughed Wario.

“Sure, yeah. But I wouldn’t recommend cornering me,” said Ness as hit Wario with his bat out of nowhere.

Porky activated his dark lighting volt ball and shot a piece of lighting at Ness. Ness countered it with PK Thunder, resulting in a struggle. Porky seemed to have the upper hand. Wario gained full consciousness and was ready to smack Ness to the ground.

“That was a lucky shot. The last you’re going to make,” said an angry Wario.

When he was about to hit Ness full force, Wario felt the impact coming from a hammer. A penguin in royal clothes carrying a large hammer came upon Wario; King Dedede.

“Hehahaha! Not on my watch,” King Dedede boasted.

The rockets became more persistent for Pit as the nanites used SAM missiles to shoot him down. Meta Ridley was closing in to kill Pit.

From above the skies, an Arwing flew in and destroyed all the missile sites. It was Falco, who then shot Porky with a bigger missile, saving Ness in the process. Pit realized it was Falco and waved at him.

“Hey! Thanks, Falco!” Pit shouted at Falco, who in return gave him a short thumbs up.

Meta Ridley tried to blast Falco with a fire blast as they both flew fearlessly. Falco performed a barrel roll to deflect the blast, resulting in Meta Ridley being hit by his own attack. Falco did a sharp U-turn and slammed the Arwing into Meta Ridley, sending the dragon crashing down.

Falco continued to cut down the nanite mercenary army, trying not to kill any of his allies. The nanites used advanced SAM rockets and shot it at Falco’s Arwing, destroying it completely as it fell down. Everyone thought he died until they saw Falco from above as he landed to the ground perfectly and pulled out his reflector and blaster.

Porky recovered as Falco rushed to Ness’s aid. Wario and King Dedede still went head to head. The hooded man with the blade was still outnumbered and was almost in a corner. But then, a giant brown gorilla with a red tie rushed in and crushed the mercenary units: the famous Donkey Kong.

He let out a roar and helped the man in the hoodie. Ganondorf watched on as the battle continued. Particularly, he looked at the hooded man holding the sword. He knew who it was all along.

“Our paths always clash, heh,” Ganondorf thought as he let out an evil smile.

Over the dark red skies, a giant ship hovered, piloted by Meta Knight.

From the skies, a dark angel observed everything and noticed his other half fighting off the mercenaries. Dark Pit stared at Pit and sighed.

“I know I’ll regret helping these idiots…” Dark Pit thought to himself as he flew to help Pit.

Pit flew down and used his two-bladed staff to assist the hooded figure with the number of soldiers coming through. Pit, without fear, battled on but as soon as more nanites came, he knew he wouldn't survive. Dark Pit came to the rescue and shot his dark arrows at the mercenaries with lighting speed and hovered over Pit, who was overjoyed at his presence.

“Pitto! I knew you wouldn’t let us down!” waved Pit happily.

“Let’s make this clear: I didn’t come here to save you weirdos. Just this once, we’ll work together,” said Dark Pit with a scowl.

“Pitto—” Pit replied. “Alright!”

“I would appreciate it if you stop calling me that. Now let’s focus on these bottom dwellers,” told Dark Pit as he fell down to help Pit.

The two unleashed their bladed staffs and fought all out. The two angels were side by side and each took strikes and thrusts against the oncoming soldiers. They took to the air and shot as many nanites as possible with their respective bow and arrows. They went back on the ground and continued on their dual assault.

Ness and Falco overpowered Porky as the two blasted him from two sides. Porky tried to electrocute Falco with a volt energy ball, but he easily reflected that and sent back to the pig based machine child. Ness used PK Flash and damaged Porky even more. Porky leaped into the air and shot tiny missiles from below. Ness and Falco evaded the missiles thrown at them.

“This is impossible! How come I can’t touch you losers?! This shouldn’t be happening. I am Pokey… no, Porky! I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD!!” shouted Porky in a bratty voice.

“Too bad, pork chop. But we haven’t even made much of a dent in you though,” said Falco slyly.

“WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME, YOU STUPID BIRD?” shouted Porky. Falco ignored the whining and shot 10 laser bullets into the glass protecting Porky. He ran towards Porky, jumped forward and struck the glass, almost shattering it. “WAIT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP IT!” yelled the pig-faced brat when Ness used PK Rockin’ to disable Porky’s machine.

“Heh. Piece of cake,” said Falco as he and Ness high fived. Somehow, Porky rebooted his machine to be even stronger than ever. The machine glowed a vigorous pink and purple fusion.

“FOOLS! This is my true form! And Ness, with my superpowered machine and me being the POOBAH OF AWESOMENESS, I will finally win again!!!” boasted Porky.

“Ok,” Ness and Falco replied with blank expressions. Ness and Falco went for Round Two against the new and withered version of Porky’s machine.

King Dedede failed to put down Wario as Wario managed to get on his bike and ram the penguin king to the side. He snorted as he went to get payback on Ness.

“You little runt! Now it’s time for you to pay. Hehehehahaha!” said Wario as he walked closer to the esper boy, until he was interrupted by someone else.

“I don’t think so. Your fight is with me now, you rodent,” Dark Pit smirked.

“Hahaha. Don't think for a second that you want to fight me,” said Wario.

“This’ll be easy,” Dark Pit grinned.

“Grr, raw. We’ll see about that!” Wario charged straight at Dark Pit. “Huh? Where’d you go?” said a confused Wario.

“Up here,” said Dark Pit when he dived in and kicked Wario in the gut.

“You little?!” said Wario as he charged again.

“That’s right. Keep talking big,” Dark Pit flew backward and continued taunting and flew up. “Hey. Ugly. Up here,” said Dark Pit as he used his magic to create an array of bows and threw them at Wario. “Take this. Dark Missile Barrage Storm!”

Wario ran as quickly as he could, but couldn’t. The dark angel swooped down and struck Wario again, causing the fat man to fall over. “Hmph. Pathetic,” stared Dark Pit.

“Me?! Pathetic?! Nehehehe! No, you are!” said Wario as he got and tried to hit Dark Pit. The black haired angel dodged effortlessly and roundhoused kicked Wario in the face, knocking him down to the ground. Dark Pit spat at his foe.

“Pfft, weak mortal,” said Dark Pit as he walked away.

Ness and Falco, at last, defeated Porky by the combined efforts of PK power and advanced space technology. Porky’s machine went down and the glass shattered. Falco dragged the brat out of the machine.

“Heh, don’t try me. You got that, pal,” said Falco.

“NO! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY WIN! AND YOU IDIOTS TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME! I AM THE BEST IN THE UNIVERSE!!...” yelled Porky until Ness knocked the brat with his bat.

“That’s a time out for you, buddy,” smiled Ness.

“Nice one, kid. But we got more problems,” said Falco as he and Ness went to help the others.

Ganondorf set foot inside the Capitol, seeing that the crowd of people were all in one place.

“You will all die now,” Ganondorf spoke, raising his gloved fist, which implemented a shadowy aura.

“Hyaa!” shouted the hooded man who tried to strike Ganondorf with his sword. Ganondorf already expected it and somehow had the warrior in a one-handed chokehold.

“Hehehehahaha! I expected better from you, Link,” said Ganondorf. The warlock launched Link into the crowd.

Link got up and removed his hoodie and cloak. He charged at Ganondorf, who then did an open Warlock Kick, sending Link back. Link, already bleeding, charged again, only to be punched and kicked multiple times.

“Er, hyaa!” Link went a third time and woke his Triforce power and struck Ganondorf, seeming to have worked as Ganondorf struggled against it.

“Your Triforce does not have any effect on me. I’ve grown past your tricks,” told Ganondorf as he woke his blade. “Your tenacity is ever so fierce, Link. I’m impressed that you managed to hold out this long. Most men would have expired by now, but I know you’re an exception.”

Link and Ganondorf continued sword fighting, but only Link was drastically weakened, unlike Ganondorf who wasn’t trying. Link tried to upper slash Ganondorf, but the warlock grabbed the Triforce Sword and tossed it away. He used his wizard magic to paralyze Link.

“Warlock Punch!” Ganondorf charged up his fist and hit Link in the chest, sending the Hero of Time back against a wall. “Hehehehaha. It’s a shame Zelda is not here to watch you die,” Ganondorf mocked. He walked closer to finish the job.

“Stop!” the politician spoke out against the warlock.

“What are you saying, little one? Are you trying to order me?” Ganondorf glared below the politician.

“I won’t back down. I am not afraid of you,” the politician shot back. Ganondorf did a light punch, slamming the young man across, nearly killing him.

“You shouldn’t have tried to stand up to me, human,” Ganondorf stated.

Ganondorf attempted to stab the politician in the heart. The politician got up, but barely had any fight left and was left bleeding from his forehead to his arm.

“This is it for me,” the politician thought.

Ganondorf went for the kill as he slowly stepped closer to execute the man.
