[Mr. Game & Watch]

It was all over the news, so there was no doubt that everybody in the Life Sphere had an idea of what was going on. In the center of the Rainbow Square there was a huge crowd collecting around a relatively large tarp covered monument. The hidden statue was sectioned off from the people, the crowd seemed to have mixed reactions to the scene.

The section of the Sphere was uproarious until Toadsworth slowly paced from behind the curtain shrouding the statue. He tapped a microphone in his hand to test and the speakers set on each side of the mysterious monument echoed the sound of his tiny fist’s impact. Quickly afterward the crowd went dead silent as he held the device closer to his mouth. “Ahem, we shall begin the unveiling ceremony in a few moments. Mr. Game & Watch will be here soon” he announced.

The moment the brown mushroom being finished speaking, the silhouetted flat man revieled himself to the audience, he too emerged from the tarp. He waved his thin arms in the air to greet the crowd and waddled over to Toadsworth. “Game & Watch, for all your donations and hard work to keep our home from the clutches of the Starvia virus, we will award you with this statue in your honour” the old man congratulated. The paper thin man was speechless since he couldn’t communicate much outside of auditory beeps.

“Now without further ado…” the old toad continued as the tarp flew off the statue. The revealed monument was a large scale representation of Mr. Game & Watch with a frying pan clutched in his fist. It was made of solid gold and was equally as thin as the real thing, so it was only visible from the front and the back.

The crowd had a mixed reaction to the unveiling. Immediately the shout of a dissatisfied resident echoed from the back of the crowd. “We put our resources toward this!” After that the crowd turned into a mosh pit of arguing residents. The sound of the mile long group was so overbearing neither Toadsworth nor G & W could hear themselves think.

In the excitement of the crowd, nobody heard the launch of a Cracker Launcher shell blast from a distance. The blast impacted against the statue and caused the monument’s base to crumble and the metallic object to fall over. Game & Watch screeched in horror as he watched the statue he had partially funded be desecrated. He had no clue where the shoot had come from, but the shooter had to have been in front of the statue due to the way it had fallen.

 A lone person watched the scene of chaos unfold, as he walked towards the unruly mosh pit, its face and body obscured by the tattered brown cloak that he wore.  He stood stark still as the chaos soon became panic as the Mr. Game and Watch monument fell as the result of a cracker launcher,  the culprit might have been amongst them to prevent himself/herself from being detected while they shot at the statue and most likely glimpsed the man behind the hood as he came closer, but didn't stop to confirm what they had just seen.

"This can't be a good sign." the stranger said as he drew nearer the podium, the crowd almost taking notice of the stranger and how his footfalls sounded, like that of a machine.  It was as though he WANTED Mr. Game and Watch to take notice of him and figure out his identity.  But it would be nearly as difficult as trying to figure out the Serial No. given upon his conception by Dr. Wily for anyone who studied robotics. 

[Mr. Game & Watch]

If Game & Watch had any blood, it would be set a boil. As Toadsworth began to hobble his way off stage to safety, the flat man began to investigate the crowd for the trigger happy culprit. With the thousands of people collected it was near impossible to account for them all and he could hardly think of a single person who’d be out for his hide since there were so many as it was. His vantage point gave him a good view, but the amount of chaos made it difficult to spot anyone attempting to flee the scene.

A singular cloaked humanoid figure began to approach the featureless man very slowly and without too much trouble from the aggravated citizens. Game & Watch’s attention went fully onto him and began to suspect the person for the desecration, but the distance between him and the statue wasn’t far enough apart. As well, there was no Cracker Launcher on his person and Game & Watch recognised a Cracker Launcher’s explosion too well to think of it as anything else.

Game & Watch was not an expert on faces or other people in general, he was number one around this joint why should he care about whose number two or zero in this case. He released a low toned beep at the android, he wasn’t sure if he could be considered a friend or foe in this case since he could really be either.

As Game & Watch focused on the man dressed in rags, a rose floated down from the weak breeze and passed by his bulbous nose. His began to twist left and right to figure out where the flower had come from. In his hectic search he spotted the top half of a dark figure’s head disappear behind the roof of a nearby tall building followed by a high pitched cackle.

The two dimensional man pointed toward the roof of the building and squealed a high-pitched boop. Shortly afterward he waddled as fast as he could toward the moderately tall building.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 The moment Game & Watch spotted the shadow of another person, he tore off after it and proceeded to head towards the roof of the nearby tall building. "I might not be able to stop that 2D person, but I can sure as heck give him a hand, I'll have to put my search for Mavericks on hold until I can assertain the situation." The stranger said as he followed the flat zoner but took a detour between this building and another one that was just as tall, and proceeded to wall climb by jumping up between both walls and managed to reach the top, albiet with a bit of trouble because of traction while hanging on the walls, in roughly 30 seconds.

"Now then, I think this should stand to be useful for observation, but not a good place to hide a weapon." The figure said to himself as he stoped to catch his breath from the wall climbing he did, and at the same time, withdrawing from the folds of the tattered cloak, an energy blade much like that of a standard Beam Sword item, only this Beam Sword was different from the original, and the energy emmitted was pure green.  The cloaked stranger then began to scan the top of the building for any viable hiding places or exit points that a culprit might use to hide away in, and also searched for any likely escape routes by moving with as much caution as one would normally use when they get the feeling of being watched.  and the Strangely cloaked android was feeling it even if the building was about to become a battlefield. 

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The cloaked stranger followed Game & Watch’s lead, but soon enough out ran his waddling speed. He was torn on whether or not the mystery man’s faster speed was good or not because on one hand he wanted the criminal to be caught for desecrating his personal project, but on the other he would prefer that he was the one to turn in the criminal to add to his already shinning reputation. The more crooks he stopped the better.

By the time that the anonymous android had climbed halfway up the building, Game & Watch reached the base of it. He gazed up at the overbearing size of the structure as his momentum tittered down. He leapt up into the air and considering the near weightless property of his body he got a good amount of distance into the air. As he readied himself for a double jump, two firemen spreading out a trampoline appeared under his feet. The silhouetted object shot him further into the air and the firemen disappeared, their brief reason for existence being fulfilled. G&W landed on an awning not much further away from the roof, but his allied android had already beaten him to the top. From there the flat man began to scale the bricks on the siding of the building hoping to make it there before his prize could be taken.

Atop the roof, it seemed fairly void of any beings in general. There weren’t many places for anything to hide behind. There was an access hatch to the inside of the building jutting out from the stone flooring, but the heavy duty pad lock chained around the handle suggested that no one had disturbed it. There was a rather large chimney, though the smoke bellowing out of it was flowing too consistently to suggest someone had crawled into it.

Though, the smoke stack was large enough to provide a decent amount of cover to anyone behind it which there was. The purple crook with the Cracker Launcher revealed himself from behind his hiding space and aimed the canon at the android.

Finally, Game & Watch’s flat head rose from the side of the building with his fist clutching the edge of it. Waluigi’s eyes were quick to detract from the metal man and as was the canon he wielded. The silhouetted man began to pull himself over the edge, but before he could get a good footing on the roof an explosive round knocked him back off the edge and caused him to descend to the brick lined streets below.

“Whaa hah ha” the purple cladded man laughed. He twisted his head back over to his pursuer with a disgusting grin on his face. He figured he didn’t have the time to fire off another shell at his energy sword wielding foe, so he quickly turned away from him and tucked his large weapon onto his back. Soon after he leapt over to a neighboring building continuing to sprint across the roof of said building as soon as his feet struck it.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 The android was dumbfounded as his opponent was a human, and a devious one at that, but he didn't care about the situation, as Game & Watch was hit by the explosive round of cracker launcher, even after that, He saw Waluigi place the bulky weapon on his back and dart off towards an empty rooftop inorder to get some distamce.

You know, the thing about running is that one must always be fleet of foot and never carry too much baggage at one time.

In the cloaked androids case, he wasn't holding anything but his Z-Saber where as his adversary was lugging a heavy weapon and three bludgeoning weapons in his disposal, the difference in speed was evenly matched as the android gave chase and fired three buster shots at his opponent, one of them to knock Waluigi's hat clean off his head, and the other two at the Cracker Launcher to try and destroy it before Waluigi could get enough distance to fire at him.

"You are as worse as Vile on a good day, human.  Surrender now and things won't get any worse for you later.  Of course if you DON'T comply, this will get really ugly, very quickly!" The android said as he kept his buster arm trained on his adversary while giving chase, gaining on him with every ounce of fearless bravery and determination he could muster. 

[Mr. Game & Watch]

After being blown off the side of the incredibly large building, Game & Watch collided with the street below with such an impact to knock him out cold. The citizens hardly took notice of anything as they were still in uproar from the antics of everything that had happened previously.

Waluigi continued his run, being a man of sport he had plenty of stamina to waste in the chase. However, given that his pursuer seemed to be composed of mechanical parts it was more than likely that he’d have no issue keeping up with him. Regardless the purple purp kept in stride until his hat was knocked off his head. He dove to retrieve his partially singed hat and tuck and rolled out of the line of fire before his enemy could land another hit.

With his ruined hat clenched in his fist, Waluigi twisted back around to face his opponent with a large toothy frown pasted on his face. “Oh yeah? We’ll see who’s uglier when I’m done with you” he spat as he fixed his stance to a kneel. He set his arm out to the side as what looked to be two baseballs slid out of his sleeve and into his gloved hand. He wound up his throwing arm and pitched the two balls in a single swing, aiming directly for the android.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 Baseballs... Really?  You might wanna try out for the baseball circut. the android said with incredulity as he deftly dodged the spherical objects, with the second one managing to graze the hood of his cloak.

Apparently this did not sit well with the android as he threw the cloak off to reveal who was within said article, the android's visage coming into relief.

Red armor scheme, a horned helmet, a long mane of sleek blonde hair visible from the back, and blue eyes. the android was indeed well built, but that was not the case as he charged at Waluigi for a close-range assault, and attempted to land a powerful blow in the form of a spinning kick, and if that was dodged, Waluigi would have fallen for the android's ploy and be smacked with an uppercut that would put him on ice. 

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The tin man seemed more interested in making a mockery of the purple cladded villain, than to actually put a fight, or so Waluigi thought. “A true warrior can make a weapon out of any object” his opponent defended himself as he pulled out his golf club to ready himself for the charging foe. The reveal of Zero’s true form didn’t faze Waluigi too much, he didn’t let just any armor plated misfit intimidate him and even if they did it would be a better tactic to not show them such fear. He stood his ground waiting for his opponent to reach him since he was better close ranged.

Clutched in both hands, Waluigi used his driver to block the oncoming attack which was quickly followed by a second attack. The recovery time from the red robot’s attack was ridiculous, but Waluigi’s quick reflexes were enough to catch them since he was expecting a barrage of attacks from his opponent. Quick and sloppy, just like every other he had to fight. Though the interesting twist of Zero’s second move was that it froze up Waluigi’s club. He had to discard the weapon before the frost particles of it could freeze up his hands as well.

Waluigi leapt back from the other fighter in order to avoid another freezing blow. His lower jaw reformed into a large toothy grin as he landed feet first. He stomped forward and as he did purple vines sprouted through the floor of the roof and began to swim through the concrete and toward the red cladded hero. “You’re not the only one with a couple of surprises!” the fiend exclaimed as he equipped his tennis racket, once again anticipating his foe’s next move. “Have a taste of my Wall-uigi!”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 "First Baseballs... now Vines!?  What are you, a rip-off of Plantman!? Think like a Pokemon you sad sorry excuse of a Luigi Knock-Off; Grass-Type attacks would do less damage to anything of metalic quality." Zero said, taking the initiative and sidesteping the purple vines completely, though he took some hits and slashed the vines that hit.  "Honestly, whatever you do is only gonna delay the inevitable, even running...  and that racket will not save you, though it will be entertaining to watch you struggle as you try to hit some orbital shots." Zero added as three robotic dragonflies surrounded him.

Zero then proceeded to fire at waluigi with the Z-Buster, the three robotic dragonflies followed suit, and fired their salvo rounds, all the shots were targeting Waluigi.

Waluigi might be more sinister, but Zero was more level-headed than Waluigi, and was also one step ahead of Waluigi's tactics as Zero taunted and goaded Waluigi while his combined Yammar Option/Z-Buster strategy continued.

Zero hoped to aggrivate his eneny into doing something extremely stupid while he sent a transmission in secret for some form of back-up of human quality to help in coralling this wily purple-clad anti-plumber.

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

Meanwhile, another stranger; Ragna the Bloodedge, came into the vicinity. Ragna seemed not to notice the heated rooftop battle, but he did notice the unconcious Mr. Game & Watch, which he tried to wake up by lightly slapping the 2d beings cheek. "OK, time for you to wake up now." Ragna said as he continued to slap G&W's cheek lightly.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Waluigi gritted his teeth as he watched his opponent dodge his attack once more. Of course his enemy didn’t only dodge them, but he also taunted him while doing so. The android was becoming more annoying to fight than Wario. “You’re calling me a rip off? If you weren’t wearing red, I’d think you were Megaman dressed in drag!” A tactic of insulting Waluigi wasn’t going to be the most effective since he could dish out just as much as he was served.

With the barrage of shots fired at Waluigi, there was little he could do to avoid all of them. That doesn’t mean he didn’t try though, his thinness played more to his advantage in this case. The purple purp then began to sprint straight toward his enemy, beginning to spin his body around as he did. “The worst thing you can do on the battlefield is undermine the effectiveness of one’s weapon! Yeah, it’s whirluigi time!” the fiend shouted as he began to spin so quickly that a tornado began to form around his body. Considering that they weren’t too far apart from each other and Waluigi charged at him, there was no doubt that Zero could feel the effects of the cyclone.

Mr. Game & Watch’s slumber was soon enough disturbed by a sudden smack to his face. He regained his footing as he gazed upon his rude summoner. The 2-D fighter let off a loud beep as he jumped into the air to smack the taller man right back. The silhouetted creature then shook his head as he looked off to where his fallen statue had been before, though noticing the shine of its golden complexion absent which either meant someone moved it during the battle for safe keeping or another party had stolen it. Given the amount of hate that has been inflicted on him today, G&W was expecting the latter.

The true answer, however, lied with Waluigi. Game & Watch had little hope that the cloaked stranger had even stood a chance against the lanky man’s arsenal. Besides, G&W still wanted a piece of the purple plumber. Where his awakener stood didn’t matter, G&W had to get back to the battle, so he leapt as high as he could and continued to scale the building once again.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 Zero stood his ground, taking the hit but not even flinching due to him being well armored.  "I think it's time I show you why you should never mess with a Maverick Hunter, and why you should fear me more than who you work for." Zero said as he again performed the Senpuukyaku, the Yammar Option firing another salvo of energy bullets so Waluigi would be forced to attack close range and risk losing another weapon to the Reploid's vicious onslaught.

It did not occur to Waluigi just now, but Zero was getting slightly stronger with his attacks, that answer came in the form of an unknown energy scource within this DWN series robot. coupled with the Maverick Virus imbedded within the Reploid back when he clashed with Sigma for the first time when he, Zero, was the original Maverick that caused much trouble back in his own universe. 

---

 Ragna was suprised when G&W slaped him back, he diserved it, but before he could contemplate on it, G&W immediately began climbing the building.

"May as well help that guy out, it might be useful to get in some good training for the battles to come" Ragna said as he launched himself into the air, jumped again, and then performed a Bloodscythe variant of Link's Spin Attack which propelled him up to the battlefield, and right behind Waluigi, where he landed cat-like on the top of the building, he had to roll to a side to catch his breath however as the cause of the hurricane kick used by Zero had created a dark twister-like vaccum.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

When Waluigi’s storm died down he was quickly provided with another threat from his opponent. He watched the movements of his enemy while he spoke in order to not be caught offgaurd when he took his turn to strike. “Who I work for? Heh, I’m doing this out of the kindness of my heart” he replied as he readied his sport themed weapon.

There was very little he could do against Zero’s spinning kick, but luckily it knocked him out of the line of fire from the Options’ pellet like bullets. He made haste of his mistake and regained his footing in order to observe the battlefield once again. The only difference that had been made was the appearance of another fighter, who he was aligned with Waluigi didn’t know, but he knew he wasn’t any ally to him.

Game & Watch wasted little time returning to the roof he was launched off of not too long ago to see that Zero, the rude awakener, and the criminal were all on the next building over. With a simple combination of a sprint then a hop, G&W was once again rejoined with his current allies. It seemed the android hadn’t taken down the purp as he expected, which was good since he could still question the purple plumber where his golden statue had gone. However, his inability to interrogate made that a bit problematic.

After evaluating the situation once more, the scales were tittering against Waluigi as per usual. Nothing ever works out for Waluigi. “Oh, okay, if Megaman’s sister is too afraid to face me without reinforcements, Waluigi will play unfairly then too” Waluigi stated as a block with a randomly changing number appeared over his head. He punched at the block and the number the block stopped at was two. The dice opened and a winged spikey blue turtle shell fell into Waluigi’s open hand.

Waluigi ran backwards until his feet met with the edge of the building and he leapt off, not before he tossed the blue bomb at the feet of the three smash brothers. As the shell impacted against the floor, it exploded instantly and the blue blast zone increased within seconds.

Banjo was enjoying a delicious burrito sitting upon a bench resting on a tidy sidewalk under the shade provided by an etched building. He knew food and supplies were scarce around the Life Sphere, so he didn't devour it like he usually would, he took slow and average sized bites to cherish his food as if it were blessed. He feeds Kazooie a few pieces of his burrito after pausing between bites to chew. Both of them were enjoying eachother's company and what little food they were eating very much. "I know it's not much pal, but we gotta follow the rules of this here spherical central place. We need to be happy at what little food we are allowed to get." Living off of rationed food sucked, Banjo was so used to over endulging himself that he would often forget he had to limit his appetite. Kazooie nodded, complying with the bear. After all, Banjo was his best friend, and vice versa. There was no denying their impeccable bond, no pun intended. They have been through everything together, and they continue to be through everything together. A war between plagued creatures and the good guys in Life Sphere were not going to keep them apart, if anything, it will only bring them that much closer.

At last they finish their delectable burrito and Banjo lets out a belch. Kazooie opens her mouth to relieve her own self of throat gases but just as she did so, a loud thud was heard around the corner of the building they sat by. Banjo looked at Kazooie in awe. "That wasn't you was it bud? If it was, nice work!" Kazooie shook her head no and tilted her neck to the alley at the right of them. Banjo looked the way Kazooie was pointing and started to cautiously walk over. He wasn't sure what would make such a noise, he knew there wasn't anyone else around them because they always chose quiet spots to eat where nobody really inhabited to enjoy their meals without interruption. Slowly Banjo peaks his head around the corner and sees a figure. He couldn't quite make out all the features of the figure, but the sound of an explosion followed the moment Banjo looked down the alley. He saw the figure gaining his balance as if he had just landed from a fall and became extremely curious. "Hey, you! What was that noise over here?" That was the only question Banjo could think to ask, and he wasn't about to make assumptions until all the facts were there.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 Zero stood his ground and took the full brunt of the explosion by protecting Mr. Game & Watch, the damage he took was almost enough to make him explode in Megaman death fashion.

"Never insult me you bratling." Zero said with a very sadistic smirk.  what this entailed to others they would never know, but Zero was wise to Waluigi's taunts, though that jibe of being called 'Megaman's sister' had struck a nerve so harshly that he was now aiming to kill Waluigi in one fell swoop.  But the red Maverick hunter had to master the impulse and so summoned another triad of robotic dragonflies, following Waluigi's example, Zero ran towards the edge of the building and jumped, what would happen next was that the Z-saber was unleashed as were a barrage of punches and buster shots, coupled with the Yammar Option firing a sporadic ammount of bullets.

If Waluigi wasn't scared witless by now, he would be soon, for Zero had clenched his fist and slamed it into Waluigi with enough force to send him plummeting into the ground, but what followed would be something more dangerous than that sporadic barrage of punches, gunfire, and Z-Saber slashes. 

---

 Ragna managed to find a safe spot by grabing onto the ledge of the building and clinging to it untill the explosion subsided, then he clambered up and continued his observation by aiding Zero in attacking Waluigi by jumping to the other building and launching the same Bloodscythe Spin Attack at Waluigi from behind, the discordant onslaught from the explosion had peeved him to the point of breaking out the Azure Grimoire in the assault.

But this was not the case as Ragna landed on the very building and glowered at Waluigi, a glint of something unmistakably like ice-cold venom in those mismatched eyes. 

---

 The sudden explosion from the Blue Spiny Shell had not only made ragna mad, but it had also caused something to stir within the Light Sphere, where the explosion was, there was now fragments of shell, and to make matters worse, for Waluigi at least, a fell wave of dread began to fall over the battle zone.  And it could only mean one thing...

Waluigi had disturbed a sleeping giant.

And this giant was coming towards the source of the mayhem.

If anyone felt the presence of this being, they would probably wet themselves from the shock of seeing something as tall as Ragna, they would generally use caution or to get out of the way.
