[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Back here again, at the ruined Golf Courses of the Mushroom Kingdom, the once pristine and bountiful lands of this sector had been tainted by the effects of the Starvia Disease, and the Infected had been ravaging this place, looking for unwary bystanders to fill their ranks, it was Irony that yet another Maverick would be running rampant here, only this time the infected were trying to get as far away from the powerful armored adversary that they had no choice but to hide in the trees.

The maverick had yet to know that he was now being targeted by someone, and that someone had sent out a hit that would pit him against the likes of a certain purple-clad Plumber, and on this very golf course to boot.

Maverick Hunter Mission; All Set...
Ready?
GO!

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Finally, a mission that made sense to Waluigi. A simple hit and run. Better yet the felon didn’t have to team up with some sort of useless band of misfits looking for attention and wealth. It was just Waluigi and some robot thing. The purple plumber had no clue what it was he was going to be up against, in fact he couldn’t even remember the name of it clearly. It might have started with an a, but he wasn’t certain. It was some sort of mechanical animal just like last time with that metallic monkey. Whatever his name was.

The being had an easy going skip to his step, a rather blissfulness that Waluigi rarely got to experience. At last he was out of the range of that badgering robot and its all seeing optics. It was unfortunate that he had to visit a place so close to home, but it didn’t look all that wrecked in comparison to the Mushroom Kingdom, which was in pieces. The place looked like he could still play a round of golf if he so chose. The new vile atmosphere was a bit more to his liking however, sure it was probably crawling with infected creatures, but it had a much more dynamic setting than it used to.

Waluigi’s elfish shoes touched down on the green, a golf club readily hung over his shoulder and his hand cuffing over his brow line to block off the sun as he investigated the landscape. “Wheh, Waluigi’s been doing too much work. Waluigi will just tell them that he beat stupid android when he gets back. In the meantime, it’s tee time” the lanky man said to himself as he dropped one of his liar balls onto the ground. He was not well in stock of golf balls, but pseudo baseballs would make a good replacement, right? It didn’t matter all too much, a ball was a ball and it wasn’t like he had any better substitutes.

The plumber batted the ball off the ground with his club and watched as the sphere quickly veered off the course he wanted it to and directly into the treeline. Flustered by this he gripped his metal instrument tightly. “Wha, that would’ve worked if it was the right size, Waluigi’s the best golfer around” he stated as though he was trying to justify himself to someone, crossing his arms as he did so.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The Liar Ball managed to hit the tree, but when it did, something fell out of the tree that shouldn't have been there, an infected Koopa Paratroopa, but the moment the winged turtle hit the ground, it began to bounce in Waluigi's immediate direction in both outrage that his nap was disturbed, and fear as a gigantic metal sphere came barreling at the infected beast, and also seeing as Waluigi was here, the sphere would also give the purple clad plumber a taste of fighting on the caliber of a real Maverick Hunter.


Waluigi now has two choices pertaining to this mission
1. Dodge the Infected Koopa Paratroopa and face down Armored Armadillo{Taking this action will allow you to proceed into a breif interaction with the boss before the fight}
2. Face Down both Armored Armadillo and the infected Koopa Paratroopa{Same as above, but will have Infected enemies come in one at a time during the times that Armored Armadillo is defending}

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Waluigi never broke his gaze at the tree he managed to hit. Still with a stern complexion he watched as the Koopa dropped from the tree like a rip apple. The felon cracked a smile at that. Look at that, he was able to ruin someone else’s day after all. After he took a brief moment to chuckle he glanced back at the creature noting that it was both infected and racing toward him. Well, he probably should have expected that, no matter he wasn’t going to let some winged reptile spoil his fun.

Waluigi readied an assault for the turtle, but as the shelled critter came closer a strange wheel of some kind was barreling directly behind it. Well, this seemed simple enough all he needed to do was kill two birds with one stone. He ran off in the same direction as the other two, his speed matching the bouncing Koopa. He sprinted like his life depended on it, but wore a devilish grin that suggested something else entirely. The two would eventually catch up with him and he slowed down as he approached the treeline to make sure of that.

As soon as either of them became in close proximity, the purple beanpole leaped out of the way, allowing both his pursuers access to the treeline behind him. The way he saw it, the Paratroopa was already going to get run over by the strange metallic wheel, might as well lead the thing into something to crash against. Waluigi didn’t remotely have a clue as to what or who either of them were, but he figured if they were chasing after him they might not have his best interests in mind.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

As Waluigi got out of the way in time, the Koopa Paratroopa found itself literally caught between a rock and a hard place as the metalic sphere blasted right into it, trophifying the infected minion of Bowsers army and into the trees itself, where it made a neat path for it to swerve around and shoot out.

But upon shooting out, Waluigi would notice that the 'metalic sphere' was actually his mark.


The maverick turned his head left and right looking for any signs of any infected abberants to his progress, but upon sensing someone he gave a start and turned around slowly, giving a solemn look at Waluigi. "I see, so Sparky carked it, which means the War had begun anew, eh?" it said, hoping to confirm one of the two with Waluigi before he would spill what he was tasked with.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

After Waluigi evaded his attacker, he watched as his plan worked out perfectly. Leaning on his golf club as though it was an armrest he cackled as the shiny bowling ball wreaked up the trees in its path. He wondered briefly why that thing didn’t also attract infected since it had rustled more trees than the purple plumber had, but that was just the good old Waluigi luck in play. If it were anybody else, there wouldn’t have been a diseased Para Troopa to begin with.

The ball returned though, it would seem that the thing was no ordinary ball of mismatched scrap from the junkyard. The being transformed into some sort of robotic mammal. Another one, really? Why were these guys bothering Waluigi all the time? Oh wait, was the android armadillo his assignment? He didn’t ask for this, he should turn back now and cancel the mission. He was told that all he had to do was patrol the area.

What was even better was the fact that the beast began to talk to him. There were so many questions that Waluigi could raise at this moment, but he felt like he really didn’t care enough. In fact he was preoccupied with digging into his ear while the machine spoke. Only after the being directed a question toward him did his attention snap back. Who was Sparky? Was that the electro ape? Waluigi couldn’t remember, he didn’t really care enough to keep all the names in his head. “Wha? Waluigi didn’t sign up for no war, wheh. But yeah, Waluigi toasted your monkey friend” the lanky man replied, rubbing his fist against his chest in arrogance.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Heh, while it is out of respect, I commend your bravery, I was asked by my boss to reclaim this territory by killing any infected that wandered in, they realize that their time is up when they see me rolling at them. Though you made things easier for me to get in a good fight, I challenge you!" the robot mammal said, getting into his fighting stance. and without warning, fired a low level energy shot at his opponent.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

While Waluigi was in a state of leisure, he was more than certain the roll bot didn’t have any sort of good intentions. In fact the talk of war easily set the area for the battle that was soon to be in store. Besides, the references of his boss and keeping the golf course clean (seriously, why was a golf course so intricate to this guy’s plans?) basically eluded to the fact that the robo-armadillo was inevitably going to attack. Waluigi wasn’t lucky enough to come across a friendly robot, regardless of whether it was outside the Life Sphere or not.

As the bolt of energy sprung out of the creature’s body, Waluigi ducked as far down as his super stretched legs could allow him. As the shot flew directly over his head, Waluigi tossed a little parting gift for the robotic rodent in the form of a circular red rimmed disk. Those familiar with the Lylat system could quickly identify it as a Smart Bomb. As the device left his hands, Waluigi raced away, trying to get out of the blast radius as quickly as possible.

“Whehehehe. Good fight? Listen tin ball, you aren’t going to last three seconds with Waluigi” felon shouted back as he continued to flee from the battlefield. Just for distance of course, given the stature of the mechanical monstrosity it would be unwise to engage in close range fisticuffs. At the very least, Waluigi was getting a good work out for his cardio.

The maverick did not realise that Waluigi ducked under his shot, but the suprise smart bomb made it clear that he was about to feel some damage.

as soon as the aftermath of the smart bombs explosion disipated, Armored Armadillo still stood, hell; he tanked that blast every time and still walked it off, but Waluigi didn't realize this until a suprise Rolling Sheild came his way, instantly blindsiding him.

It would have to be inevitable because the purple-clad plumber would soon find out why his mark had been keeping this golf course clean, it was not just this golf course, the whole of the Mushroom Kingdom was being systematicly repaired by Sigma's uninfected maverick hoards and the castle was the icing on the cake, the final piece of the puzzle.

"You now see the fruits of what I was asked to do, Even if I fall to you here it matters not, Sigma's plan for each area was to reclaim territory and restore it, even now, one of my fellow compatriots is fixing up that treehouse with a few able-bodied Reploid citizens from the life sphere." Armored Armadillo said as he stumped over to waluigi ready to resume the fight again.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

With the ear busting sound that was the smart bomb’s detonation, Waluigi cackled madly as he continued to flee. He still continued to flee, a zigzag pattern in his path because he didn’t want to be so easily floored by the massive bowling ball if it did end up surviving the bomb blast. With Waluigi’s luck it most likely did.

The android armadillo attempted to blindside the skinny sprinter, though only managed to clip the side of him due to the above mentioned maneuver and due to the fact that the purple plumber was attuning himself to his surroundings. He was a professional sports star, blindsiding him wasn’t an easy task to do.

With the clipping of Waluigi’s side he spun out and was forced to a halt. He locked gaze with the mechanical monstrosity. The thing began to go on yet another long winded tangent about his boss’s plans, making Waluigi wonder why he was doing so to begin with. Did the guy just think that his plan was so ingenious that he had to gloat about it? Weren’t they supposed to not talk about their plans with the enemy? He supposed that the element of surprise wasn’t all that important to Delta. Or was his name Sigma? Waluigi didn’t care.

Waluigi turned to the distance where the Mushroom Kingdom should be and saw nothing but an abandoned golf course and trees. His gaze went back to the pawn of the big bad and shrugged. “Waluigi doesn’t see anything” he retorts in a rather confused manner. Perhaps the machine had a few loose wires and was just making this stuff up. That made much more logical sense to him considering there have been many attempts to reclaim the infected lands in the past, by people far more intelligent than this army of metal coated animals, and failed. Mostly due to the overabundance of infected all over the planet. Considering the Life Sphere has a population of roughly 4000, Waluigi doubted he had an army suitable for the task.

Either way, there was a prize in it for Waluigi if he obliterated the oversized soccer ball, so he supposed wiping it and its crazy ideals off the planet would be a preferable option than to continue the debate. “Wheheheh, they’re gonna need a lot more to fix you up!” the felon taunted as he tossed a set of liar balls at his face.

"you don't need to, because you can't truly see the forest for the trees because of your pathetic one-track reasoning." Armored Armadillo said as he placed one of his shields up in front of him, the ball did very little agains the shield and the rotten eggplant even less.

What happened next was that the Maverick launched another Rolling Shield at the purple perp, then fired an energy shot, hoping that if Waluigi dodged one, he would get hit by the other in the attempt to fight back with witty retorts. Armored Armadillo was like that when it came to rational warfare, he only had one flaw, and it was Waluigi's only chance to exploit it; though with his luck he would be fighting the maverick well into the night and the infected would come to terrorise the territory again.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

So was Waluigi able to see the fruits of their labor or not? The android armadillo was throwing around mixed messages at point in time. Maybe it was a strategy to confuse the man and throw him off his A-game. Perhaps. It seemed more likely that he had a couple of nuts and bolts loose in that cranium of his considering that he was only able to output insults and confusing messages. Or maybe it was the true spirit of Waluigi finally incarnated into a machine.

“Wahhh, Waluigi doesn’t care for your stupid poetry!” the beanpole mocked as the high speed bowling ball ran him over completely. One would imagine that Waluigi would be ready for a move that the creature had been using throughout the course of the dispute, but apparently not. To also add insult to injury, the robot shot out a laser to singe a section of his overalls while he laid in the wake of iron ball’s ruination.

The purple plumber peeled himself out of the wheel well that the spin dashing armadillo left where he went, feeling a bit more flattened as he steadied himself onto his feet. The lanky man dusted off his hat and now grass stained attire and scowled at his enemy. “Ohhh, Waluigi has had enough of you” he growled with a sinister grin.

A dice block quickly appeared above his head, cycling through numbers one to three faster than the eye could comprehend. His fist bumped against it and three was the number that revealed itself. In accordance, three seeds blew out of the top of the cube and they all landed nicely into the palm of the greedy gambler. He tossed all three of them directly at the robot, bouncing off his chassis and onto the ground surrounding him. Within seconds the seeds spiked themselves into the ground and rapidly grew into Piranha Plants. Being the carnivorous weeds that they are they began to chomp and gnash their teeth at their opponent. In the meantime, Waluigi was in the middle of a laugh riot, taking all the joy he can out of his adversary being blindsided by the plants.

The maverick seemed unpurturbed and couldn't care less that the purple perp unleashed some killer plants, all the more for him to prune if they wound up on the golf course or the race track.

"That's nice. You might make a good gardener if you weren't so cocky." Armored Armadillo said and without warning, aimed an Energy Shot at the stem of the Pirahna Plant in the center, hoping to ensure that it would go down.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The Piranha Plant’s head popped off like a dandelion, flying off of the battlefield while still chomping at the air. The other two were still around and kicking so they began to bite at the ankles of the large mechanical monstrosity. The botanical beasts showed little regard for anything, besides the meal that was set right in front of them. It might be metal, but it still seemed delicious to them.

Waluigi continued to chuckle at the misery of Armoured Armadillo, despite the machine making it seem as though it was shrugging off the assault. “Wha ha ha ha, Waluigi tries his best. But enough about Waluigi, let’s tear right into you!” the purple plumber spoke quite confidently and then exploded in his last sentence whilst rushing at the machine. As his approach came closer to the face of the android animal, he lifted his mightily long leg and began stomped his foot toward his face. This assault was very akin to his Assist Trophy self, in which if he’s successful in hitting the opponent they will become stuck in the ground. It is assumed to be the sheer force of Waluigi’s magnificent athletic legs that cause this.

“Wheh! Armadillo know how to dig don’t they!? Well, Waluigi will give you a head start!” Waluigi continued to wail with laughter at his accidental pun.

Armored Armadillo was indeed beeing bested by a foe that was quirky, but this was far from nothing as he took the foot and was buried under the ground. the only problem with this was the fact that Waluigi did not anticipate the Impact Armor Recoil effect of taking damage from physical contact with his opponent. Next Second the Maverick turned into the telltail mettalic ball that plowed through the infected Paratroopa, then burrowed underground, causing the ground beneath Waluigi and the two remaining Piranha Plants to be upheaved owing to the facrt that Armored Armadillo was now using his signature ultimate in creating a massive reploid-made crater from this move, effectively uprooting the remaining Piranha Plants and causing Waluigi harm enough to mess with him.

"I'm thinking its time you played a little Dodgeball ala ROLLER BOWL!" the Maverick said as he barreled at waluigi full pelt in attempt to flatten him. There was no denying it, Waluigi was trapped in this move with the only means of escape being his enemies defeat, running was no longer an option!

{Waluigi takes 4% recoil damage from Impact Armor}
{Waluigi can no longer escape due to Roller Bowl; he must either dodge the Maverick to keep from being ran over, or defeat the maverick by completing the sub-objective.}
