SUPER SMASH BROTHERS: Return of Tabuu (2022)

{THE NEXT WEEK}
CHURCH GARDENS
ST. IWATA CATHEDRAL

“Thank you for coming here on such short notice,” the pastor spoke. The Smashers were sent to investigate the aftermath of the church. “One of Giygas’s attacks struck this church. This is where your friend Lucario landed.”

“I don’t see a body anywhere, so we’ll have to assume he went off somewhere to recover,” Samus deduced.

“Ah, what a relief!” Palutena sighed happily.

“Strangest thing of all? There’s this robot that randomly appears out of nowhere. When I try to get close, it scurries off. Can you take a look?” the pastor asked.

“Of course,” Mario nodded as the pastor led the Smashers to the last location, behind some large vines and bushes.

The robot, instead of scurrying off, went directly towards the Smashers. Upon closer inspection, the Smashers knew who it was.

“R.O.B. It’s you,” said Mario.

R.O.B. made no comment, but a simple nodded gesture. Its propeller arms spun in what appears to be happiness.

“Do you know where Lucario went?” Samus questioned.

R.O.B. shook its head left and right.

“Want to join us?” Mario offered.

R.O.B. replied with a repeated nodded gesture.

“Lucario, I hope you’re safe,” Palutena thought.

UPPER LEVEL TRAINING ROOF
THE SMASH TOWER

“PK… S-S-M-MAASHHHHHHH!!!!!” despite his weakened, swollen right hand, Lucas trained his body to use PK Smash.

He continued to perfect it with his damaged right hand and left hand. Lucas removed the cloth and the bandages restricting him.

“Everything hurts so much… BUT I HAVE TO KEEP GOING AAAAAAAAHH!!!” he could feel excruciating pain, but he continued on. The only time he screamed was to use his psionic power. “PK..S-M-M-AAASHHHHHH!!!!!” Lucas used his right hand this time, and the attack was ever more fierce.

“I have to keep training! There’s no stopping me! I have to get stronger!” Lucas told himself. His next course of action was punching a wall with his swollen right hand. He hit the wall as hard as possible, and out came more power that he was releasing. He was also dripping blood and doses of pus. But it didn’t matter to the young fighter. The more he did it, the more it hurt and he would scream. “AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” Lucas cried out.

“Lucas?! You shouldn’t be here! You need to rest!” a concerned Palutena overheard Lucas training and attempted to stop him.

“I’m not a little kid anymore. I’ll do worse to myself if I don’t get stronger,” Lucas sounded different. His voice was deeper and not so innocent. Lucas didn’t even turn around, and instead continued to train. “I HAVE TO… I HAVE TO GET STRONGER!!!!!” Lucas screamed at his highest.

“Lucas! Stop this! You’ll hurt yourself! Please!!” Palutena immediately made the wall vanish and grabbed him by the arm.

“What the hell’s wrong with you?!” Lucas was angry. His angry look was very foreign to the Goddess of Light, especially when it was directed at her.

“I’m s-sorry. Here, let me help you,” Palutena tried to be polite and heal his swollen limb.

“Get away from me! Don’t act like my mother!” Lucas stormed off. He clenched onto his swollen hand and walked away.

“Lucas! Wait!” Palutena couldn’t catch up.

Lucas locked the door to his room. “Lucas! Please!” the goddess’s pleas would go on deaf ears.

“Go away!” he yelled through the door.

DONUT PLAINS BASEBALL FIELD

“Thanks for helping us fix the baseball field, Sonic. Really means a lot,” Ness thanked the blue hedgehog. Sonic had just finished his contribution of fixing the stadium after the recent attacks.

“No problem, chief,” Sonic gave him a thumbs up.

Ness had pretty much healed after the events with Giygas. “Now I can return to practicing baseball.”

“SONIKUU!!!” Amy rushed at Sonic.

“Amy, not this again. I have a city to clean up,” Sonic told her to go away.

“No, Sonic. Tails asked if you wanted to help him find the Chaos Emeralds,” Amy said to him.

“About time! I’ll go find him right now! Later!” Sonic sped off.

“Sonic! Wait for me!” Amy chased after him again.

“(•_•;)” the reaction of Ness.

“She’s so persistent,” Paula commented, handing Ness some water.

“…Yep, that’s what being Sonic gets you apparently, heh,” Ness nodded.

Paula’s smile moved to a slight worried frown. “I feel worried for Lucas. Have you seen what he’s been doing to himself?”

Ness’s own mood shifted to serious. He splashed the rest of the water on his face while looking at the ground. “He’s never acted out with hatred or anger. I felt his rage during the fight with Giygas. I admit, even I got scared,” he admitted. “…PK Smash… What a nasty fighting style. You don’t suppose it’s gotten him to act more aggressive?” Ness wondered.

“Most likely. I fear Lucas might end up losing himself,” Paula stated.

Ness stood up. “Paula… let me see that book on PK Smash.”

“Ness-kun?… What are you going to do? You’re not thinking of learning it too?” Paula got defensive.

Ness looked at his girlfriend with serious intent. “Give me the book, Paula.”

At this time, the city recovered from the damages done and repairs were nearly complete thanks to the heroes and their active participation in damage control efforts.

Everything would gradually return to normal…

Or so that was the case…

{THE NEXT DAY}

Lucas continued to train his body to the fullest extent. Everyone else was busy around the city, meaning that Lucas was virtually all by himself in the tower practicing, not wanting to be disturbed. He was heavy in sweat and his hands were purple and swollen due to the intense training he put himself under. He discharged blood and pus from the swollen hands. Lucas let out a loud scream of pain. But it didn’t matter.

“Why… why am I pushing myself so much when it’s doing nothing for me? Why do I still feel weak?” Lucas thought to himself. “AHHHHHHH!!!!!” he yelled some more. “I have to get stronger! I have to get stronger! NOW! You hear me, God?! Give me the ultimate battle where I come out on top or I die!!!”

And there Mewtwo stood from the top of the tower for a couple hours. The psychic boy just happened to notice him now. “Mewtwo!” Lucas shouted out of visible shock.

Mewtwo descended to the roof. “...” a blank stare.

“Me and you! Let’s fight!” Lucas was rather aggressive today. He wanted to fight. Even after training all day.

“That’s not a good idea. Are you so sure of fighting me, even with your injuries?” Mewtwo said sternly.

“Tch, they’re not injuries. You shouldn’t worry about me anyhow. Now let’s get this over with,” Lucas did not care about his health. Only a desire to win.

“I won’t be going easy, kid. And remember, don’t use that move,” Mewtwo inserted a condition that Lucas would abstain from using PK Smash.

“...” Lucas stayed silent.

Mewtwo charged at Lucas and knee kicked Lucas in the stomach. Lucas, in turn, struck Mewtwo in the face. The two psychics continuously took jabs out on each other. Fist to the gut. Kick to the sides. Headbash to headbash. Both of them were not backing down.

“Hmph, you can still stand,” Mewtwo stated.

“...” Lucas remained silent. In a flash, Lucas struck Mewtwo on the right side of his face.

“…” Mewtwo grazed his cheek.

“…” Lucas was still mute.

Lucas kept dodging and evading all of the attacks. Mewtwo couldn’t keep up. Lucas dealt a serious blow against Mewtwo as he kicked him in the stomach and struck him in the same area with a left hook. Lucas was getting stronger by the minute. Mewtwo resorted to using a sinister psychic-fueled punch.

“I warned you,” Mewtwo punched Lucas square in the face with a psychic fist. Lucas was sent back and stumbled onto the floor. “You’re not strong enough, kid.”

Lucas stood up, barely even injured from that. All he heard was being called weak by Mewtwo. Of course, he wasn’t weak. Lucas is one of the strongest, if not the strongest of all the Smashers by far; that’s what he believed.

Mewtwo shot a Psychic Bomb, but Lucas simply destroyed it with his fist. This gave time for Mewtwo to pitch in another psychic-powered fist. Lucas was instantly struck in the face as he fell to the floor.

“Get up! You still want to fight?” that moment was when Lucas snapped at Mewtwo and kicked him with a full force of energy.

“PK S-S-MASHHHHHH!!!!!!” Lucas drove his swollen fist and gut-punched Mewtwo straight into a skyscraper across from the Smash Tower.

*SMASH*

“You brat. I told you not to use that move!” Mewtwo darted at Lucas and threw him to the floor. Lucas allowed that to happen. A trickle of blood fell from his mouth.

“Heh… PK Smash!” Lucas smirked as he punched Mewtwo again with the forbidden technique. “Had enough?” Lucas mocked him.

“PSYSTRIKE!!!” Mewtwo fired Psystrike without a second thought.

“...PK… S-S-M-M-MASSSSHHHHHH!!!!!” Lucas countered with a much stronger PK Smash, using his left hand only. The extreme force of psychic power from one single hand obliterated the Psystrike attack and Mewtwo, blowing him away.

*SMASH*

“Huff, huff, huff, huff, heh… heheheheh, weak, am I?” Lucas clenched onto his swollen hands. He proceeded to walk away.

As he was about to head into his room, Palutena blocked the doorway. “Not a step closer, young man,” she attempted to assert authority.

“Tch,” Lucas shoved her aside with a bit of PK Smash power, pushing her into a wall. Without a look, he shut the door and turned off the lights.

“Open up! Right now!” Palutena knocked on the door.

“...” Lucas refused to do or say anything.

The goddess proceeded to cry as she slid down to the floor. She felt defeated.

For the boy was slipping away…

{SUNSET}
ABANDONED ZOO

The sun over the horizon slowly began to set as Lucas continued to train extensively on his own for the past few weeks alone.

Without any contact or assistance, he learned to bring out the massive destruction of PK Smash. He continued to make his body physically stronger in order to reduce the swelling of his hands to use PK Smash for longer. He punched stone walls, destroyed amusement rides, and gradually allowed himself an allotted time to reduce the swelling of his arms and hands and fingers.

“PK… S-S-M-MASHHHHH!!!!!!!” Lucas obliterated an entire carnival ride in one go.

*SMASH*

There was less swelling than last time. Lucas stared down at his hands and balled them into fists. “No. It’s still not enough!” Lucas was not yet satisfied.

*rip*

He removed his striped shirt, revealing his tone down muscular physique. Lucas prepared to do yet one more PK Smash. He took several deep breaths and took aim at the base of a mountain. Placing all his psychic energy into his right hand, Lucas motioned his right arm and rotated it clockwise. His right hand suddenly began to swell up purple. In one go, all of his psychic power released at the fist of his hand.

“PK… S-S-S-S-SM-M-M-MASHHHHHH!!!!!!” Lucas used PK Smash. The force of the attack annihilated the mountain.

*!!!!!!!KABOOM!!!!!!!*

It was nothing short of a shockwave of extreme energy, more scarier than a nuclear explosion. Lucas smirked happily at the progress made so far.

“[heavy panting] I-I did it!! [heavy panting]” Lucas took more deep breaths as he placed his shirt back on. “I finally got it!”
