[Mr. Game & Watch]

Mr. Game & Watch was still in a daze of confusion, pumping about like a madman until the Luigi look-a-like invaded his smoke filled air. It had to have been one of the two that committed this act and since Mr. L was the first to show himself the black figure pinned responsibility on him. He ceased his frantic bug spraying and grabbed the orb that was the cause of all of this. He put the ball forth, displaying it right in front of the scarf wearing plumber with an upset sounding ring. Mr. G&W then motioned to throw it away, but unfortunately he forgot that the ball had some sort of sticky adhesive to prevent such things from happening.

Game & Watch had the instinct to instantly not believe anything the man had to say since they were obviously up to no good. Nobody just causally throws Smoke Bombs around without some sort of intent. Though once he heard the blasts from Wolf’s fire arms, he was swayed to a different opinion, at least for the moment being. For all he knew there was nothing outside the clouds of smoke and they were just trying to pull a fast one on him. All for an autograph, how pathetic. The flat man stood there, arms crossed and unmoving waiting for the smoke spewing device to dissipate.

The wisps flew through the air like fog over a creek, though at a faster rate. They spun about in attempts to dodge the bolts that Wolf shot at them, two were managed to get hit as one was grazed by the plasma bolt and another was shot directly in the eye. They still continued their path however, the two that were hit becoming the stragglers. They ceased their movements once they were two meters shy of the pit, creating a semi-circle around the hole in the ground. Half of them stared into the smoky clod while the others glared at Wolf.

The mega machine swerved away from the hole as it finally reached their vicinity, haphazardly parking just north of the smoke filled pit. The cockpit’s safety glass swung opened and out leapt a large black wearing figure, large horns and blank white eyes.

The ground underneath him shuttered as the muscle bound villain landed. He absently brushed his shoulder line as he casually marched forward. His eyes fell upon the one who attacked his beautiful creations. “Where is the flat one?” he enquired. Given that the 2-D figure was so vocal, a beep soon exited from the smoke. It took the simplest of deductive reasoning to figure out he was hiding within the fog. With a simple flick of his wrist, a collection of charcoal clouds formed directly above the grounds. His gaze returned to Wolf. “Good, he’s still here. Thanks for stalling him, for your efforts I shall personally welcome you to the brotherhood!” he announced as though this were a graduation ceremony. Suddenly, what looked to be shadow bugs sprinkled down from the clouds that formed above their heads not too long ago.

This guy was really stubborn and it was starting to get annoying. Does he think this is some elaborate plan to get an autograph or something? Then he heard another voice, assumingly the car owner. He seemed capable of rational thought so he probably was not infected. What does he want with the flat man though? ... And why is he giving away their place when the smoke would probably do that on its own?! This guy was being more danger than Mr. L thinks he would be worth, even to himself. Mr. L takes a peek at his last comment and saw Shadow Bugs before withdrawing back into the smoke. "How did that guy get access to Shadow Bugs?!" Mr. L said quietly so only Game & Watch would hear if anyone had to despite his shock. Wait... If Luigi memory serves right, Peach told Luigi that Game & Watch was capable of some sort of Shadow Bug production or something. That would explain the motive, L would have to inform A.I.M. as much as he finds out when he gets back to get word out.

Wolf paused in mid-blast as the black car parked nearby and a huge, black-clad figure got out of it. The figure walked towards him and asked for Mr. Game & Watch's whereabouts. Wolf turned towards the stranger, while still holding his blaster and opened his mouth to tell the stranger he had no idea who he was referring to when the stupid Flat Man decided to let out a loud beep. The canine groaned to himself and again looked at the stranger, who apparently thought that Wolf was working alone, as well as stalling Game & Watch. The mercenary didn't have clue as to what the "brotherhood" was and decided not to tell the mysterious figure that he was actually rescuing the Flat Man.  "What is the brotherhood and why would I want to join it if your idea of welcoming someone is showering them in Shadow Bugs?"

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The two dimensional man began to rub his chin as he heard the Luigi look-a-like mention Shadow Bugs. The smoke was clouding his judgement since he couldn’t see neither the wielder nor his spawn. With one last putter from the Smoke Ball, the fog disappeared. Now Mr. G&W could see! Well, he had no idea who Muscly McSpandex was. He kind of looked like he was a relative of Captain Falcon and shared the same fashion sense as him, though for some reason preferred the foot long pair of horns over a scarf. The flat man had no clue how he would’ve gotten Shadow Bugs because it surely wasn’t from him. Though there were tons left over after the Subspace invasion. Tabuu also made a habit of hording the little insects, he could remember that much. The extraction process was not something a man of his stature could forget. The figure simply shrugged to Mr. L.

With the smoke gone, Black Shadow could get a good glimpse at both Mr. L and his quarry. “Oh, they’re not Shadow Bugs anymore. They’re much better than that now. I believe the term you are looking for is Starvia. It is a much better alternative, more advanced. You see these beautiful wisps over here, they will soon be your brothers. Soon you both shall be free from the burden of conflict and become one with the rest of my children” the man spoke as though he was at a conference preaching about world peace, passion flowing from sentence to sentence.

As Black Shadow was praising the tiny mites they began to attract to the bodies of the three like they were magnets. “This is ascension, you shall become stronger in doing so. This is evolu-” in the moment before the preacher could finish his sentence a rumbling began from earth underneath him and before he could properly react a Black Annelid rose from the ground while simultaneously swallowing the man whole. The creature bellowed a low toned roar as its lips smacked together.

“Bwahahaha, you were foolish to come here” Black Doom’s booming voice echoed in the distance. Soon the starfish made his appearance, descending from the sky distantly behind Wolf. “Your plague ends here.”

Soon after another bird-like Black Alien arrived on the scene, hovering next to the eye of its master. It began to flap its wings in a rapid motion until it created a strong current of wind and blasted it toward the three, the tiny Starvia critters being blown away before they had the chance to infect any of them. “Now, leave” the starfish creature’s voice said, ringing through Wolf’s mind.

With both their commander and the black clouds gone, the Plasma Wisps did not stand idly by. Three of them began their assault on the worm creature to attempt to free their master, while the other half rushed toward Mr. Game & Watch. Of course, Mr. L was in their way so they also had to deal with him. The first attempted to sucker punch the masked man with its disembodied fist, while the other two circled around him and covered G&W’s front and back. The one that had been shot in the eye stared intently at Wolf and shot a plasma bolt straight at him while the other provided backup fire.

Just when things looked like they were going in a very bad direction, the most stereotypical thing happened. They were saved at the last second by a supposed enemy, hooooow original. Sarcastic narration aside, Mr. L was surprised to see this happen, he guessed it was that thing Wolf referred to earlier that saved them. The question of why is still there, but it didn't matter too much. The fact was he seemed to be on their side for some reason. Though L had no idea why, but he was not complaining.

Mr. L was fast to react to the Wisp and pulled out his L Brand Missle Launcher and dodged to the side. He figured punching the thing was not paticularly safe, but his other attacks should work. He did not want to trap them in the Green Storm because he wasn't sure if Game & Watch was too light to not get dragged in. Mr. L did pull out his laser pistol in his other hand and fired it at each of the enemies near Game & Watch. He was strong enough to use the Launcher in one hand and the laser gun in the other fortunately.

[Deleted]

Wolf growled at the spandex-clad villain as the Starvia-laced Shadow Bugs swarmed over his body. Fortunately, he was soon saved by none other than Black Doom. Wolf turned and looked and looked at the starfish. "Sure. Just lemme deal with this lot." The canine mercenary indicated the Plasma Wisps, who started firing plasma bolts at him. Wolf turned on his reflector in an attempt to turn the bolts back at the Wisps.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Despite his command, Wolf continued to fight the small group of infected. “That was not a suggestion, scout, that was an order. Return to your bubble” he spoke through his mind once more. Doom figured he probably wasn’t going to get a satisfactory answer from the mercenary as he was always one to ignore his orders. Then again, they never exactly played for the same team. He was too strong willed to be influenced by his presence, so he would have to find another route.

The titanic worm exploded into tiny chunks of flesh as some sort of pulse radiated off of the one inside of it. Black Shadow remerged from the purple mist left by the creature, brushing his shoulder with a look of disgust. “Bleh, bugs” he stated in a mockingly proper manner. A smirk grew on his face as he noticed his plasma creatures had surrounded his prize and swiftly ordered the rest of his minions to pursue with a simple point in the right direction.

“Worms are not insects, moron, but I can’t say the same for you”

The black clad muscle man threw his head back in laughter and clapped his hands. “Insulted by a starfish, now that’s a new one. Excuse me for a moment while I let you come up with more material” the man stated as he rushed toward Mr. Game & Watch himself.

Doom commanded his winged minion to move out, the creature let out the call of an eagle and zoomed toward the flat man as well. Being the fastest of the bunch, the Black Hawk was the first to claim G&W, wrapping the flat figure around its tail and ascending straight upwards into the sky. The famed man himself was not having any of this, he was no damsel in distress he didn’t need rescuing from any of these parties, and he wanted to fight! In order to loosen the grasp of the alien he transformed into his octopus state and broke out.

“Insolate vermin” the creature mumbled in a dumbfounded manner.

The battlefield was now teeming with enemies, six Plasma Wisps still running about and now Black Shadow has joined the fray. The sucker punching Plasma Wisp may have missed its original mark, but it was able to recover quickly and spun around Mr. L, now throwing another punch at his side. As for the other two, they were not so nimble and ended up taking all the fire that had been unleashed toward them. Their quarry was long gone now, so they broke off their formation, the one with a bulging eye barreled straight toward Wolf attempting to ram its sparking electric body against him. The other focused more so on Mr. L since he was closer, rubbing its hands together to create more friction and fired off a bolt directly at him.

As the leviathan landed, his tentacles flailed about, hitting any enemy within range. Mr. Game & Watch landed upon a location a bit further away from his initial point of flight, but there were still the Plasma Wisps and Black Shadow hanging about. Unfortunately for Black Shadow, the two dimensional figure’s transformation caught him off guard and he was blindsided by the creature limb, being shot off in another direction. The other three Plasma Wisps weren’t so lucky either as they too were whipped by the octopus’s tentacles, all but one that caught on to what was happening and barrel rolled out of the line of fire. A he fired off a plasma bolt at the mighty water beast, but it simply bounced off his hide.

This guy was a slippery bugger, wasn't he? Other than that, alot seemed to be happening at once, the spandex guy escaped the worm easily and ran at Game & Watch just to be quickly and throughly owned. Game & Watch's transformation did not shock L as Luigi knew about that Final Smash. He did seem to resort to it fairly quickly though. Either way Mr. L had his own matters to worry on. He quickly dodged out of the way of the Wisp's punch and was able to semi dodge the other wisp though he did take some minor damage in the process. Mr. L shot out a Green Storm vortex to drag in the ones attacking him before firing another missle at the one that dodged before. As how much he would to Laser pistol the other, he had to have a free hand to use Green Storm.

[Deleted]

Wolf shook his head at the starfish. "There's no way I'm ditching my mission." The canine looked around as he heard an explosion and saw the horned villain emerging from what was left of the worm. Fortunately for Wolf, he was preoccupied for the moment. The mercenary saw movement in the corner of his eye and turned to see the Plasma Wisp he pinged earlier charging at him. Knowing his reflector would not be effective, Wolf decided to use his Whimsical Stars, hoping it would hit one of the three stars now surrounding him.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As anticipated, the canine refused to high tail it and run. “Stubborn simpleton, I will not waste more of my soldiers protecting you. Refrain from getting infected or I will have to eliminate you” the creature continued snidely, once again speaking directly to Wolf seeming to ignore Mr. L completely. With that the invertebrate flew into the sky, zooming past the battlefield in order to eliminate the distance between himself and Black Shadow now that he was out of commission, for the moment anyway.

The Black Wing continued to circle overhead like a vulture, waiting for the moment that Mr. Game & Watch returned to his original state. There was no possible way that he could do that trick twice in a row and the creature and Black Doom were counting on that. For the time being though, it began to shoot waves of energy at the Plasma Wisps taking aim at the two that G&W successfully hit earlier. The end result was the two creatures being pushed back once again, though this time they weren’t stunned.

As for Black Shadow, he found himself in the dent of his vehicle. Luckily he parked it with the side of it facing the battlefield otherwise he might have impacted against one of the pikes. He stepped out of his imprint on the car, cracking his neck as he did so. He laughed once more at the sight of the gigantic octopus. “Ah, so I’ve been bested by not one but two invertebrates today.” He cracked his knuckles. “Well, let’s see how we can rectify that” he then held out his hand and began to twirl his wrist in an hypnotic fashion until another black cloud formed over Mr. G&W, though it was quick to disappear once more and so did his sinister smirk. He grasped at his forehead with an intense cringe of pain.

“Your mind is so weak, just like your fleshy body” the black alien mused as he descended from the sky, behind the black clad man. In a split second the muscly man spun around and jabbed one of his mega horns directly through the creature’s mono-eye, piercing through its body with ease. His smirk returned. “I gave you time to come up with better material, funny man” the man stated as he tore the sea creature’s limp body off of him and tossed it aside. “Hah, those acting courses weren’t a bad idea after all!” the bull dressed individual continued, as though he was within his own little world.

The titanic octopus continued to mercilessly wail against the Plasma Wisps in front of him. He even assigned a special tentacle for each of them. He wrapped one of his limbs around one of them and slammed it against the ground, the next he picked up the rock from earlier that he was having troubles breaking and slammed it atop of it, and for the last one he simply smacked it silly. While searching for his quarry was important to him, beating up infected was more fun.

The Plasma Wisp was so enraged by the fact that it had missed both of its swings at Mr. L that it drew even more of its focus onto the battle. It flew up into the sky dodging the missile completely, causing the rocket to sail off into the distance. The Wisp then returned to the ground with the speed of a dropped anchor careening its fist directly for the back of the Luigi double’s head. The other Plasma Wisp however was sucked directly into the storm that Mr. L forged. Given that the creature had little weight to speak of it was being spun right round like a record (baby). It was helpless in this state, so it couldn’t do anything to retaliate.

As the whimsical wisp charged at the canine it was lucky enough to notice the reflector shield being raised once more. Remembering what the shield had done last time, it took a sharp left turn away from Wolf and halted right next to him. It rubbed its hands together and began to shake and groove as though it was dancing, biding its time until the shield reopened. Once it did, the creature unleashed a mega sized plasma bolt at point blank range directly at the furry mercenary.

Mr. L attempted to move his head out of the way so he could quickly strike back but was a little slow as he got hit on the side of the head. Mr. L needed to get serious... Did Shadow Bull just kill the flying eye starfish? Well that did not bode well. However, Mr. L could not carry off the target in his current form and needs to wait until he transforms back. Mr. L does a 360 turn from the blow, it did not seem to be working very well, so how about something new. If he was angry at Mr. L for dodging his punches he sure was a hypocrite. Mr. L came around with a sword made out of green electricity and slashes at the Wisp while using his laser pistol on the one in the vortex, hopefully his quicker attacks may help.1d20

Wolf looked up at the starfish again. "Thanks for the help." The mercenary usually wasn't one for ask for help but he did appreciate Black Doom's assistance to a certain extent. Wolf soon regretted deciding to use the reflector at first. Even though he knew his reflector wasn't effective at deflecting enemies, the stupid Wisp waited until he lowered it before firing a colossal plasma bolt at him. Fortunately, Wolf's pilot's reflexes came in handy and he managed to activate his Whimsical Stars, but the force of the plasma bolt hitting one of the three stars threw him backwards. The canine landed rather heavily on his backside. Wolf grunted before gingerly getting to his feet and looking around, trying to ignore the dull pain in his backside. He noticed the battle was starting to look like a bullfight, as Black Doom got skewered by one of Mr. Spandex's horns.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

“Your sentiments disgust me” the essence’s voice boomed through the canine’s mind once more, despite the creature’s drone being mutilated beyond repair. Interestingly enough, the creature’s body did not revert to some sort of trophy form like the rest of the living beings on this planet. It could be easily assumed that this was possible because this was a drone rather than Black Doom’s actual body, but that might not be so clear to them.

The black clad psychopath reverted his attention back onto the battlefield now that the starfish had been eliminated. His eyes wandered from each of the warriors as they fought against his spawn. “But which one…” he pondered to himself, as though he was thinking of some sort of benevolent thoughts and completing his sentence aloud. His hand wavered from one smash brother to the next until stopping at the giant octopus, which was about to run out of time. “Easy question really” he mumbled to himself. Black Shadow then reached for his ear and tapped it as though there were some sort of ear piece. “Standby, I’ll have him flattened soon.”

Mr. Game & Watch could already feel his power weakening, it was almost time for his ultimate transformation to deplete. Might as well make the most of it. He had no clue where that spandex wearing bull guy went, but odds were he was ingrained into a wall somewhere. He was going to make short work of these Plasma creatures yet. He picked up the rock that he had previously dropped on one of the wisps and slammed it back down onto the creature. He shot his other two tentacles at the elemental creatures, but apparently they learned their lesson on fighting gigantic sea monster and seemed to become more nimble. One circled around the flat figure and the other kept its ground in front. Soon after, the limbs began to revert back to his usual four and his body to his original size. Well, now he wasn’t as much prepared to face a horde.

The two bolts of plasma charged at the lightweight, ready to put him into submission but G&W’s firefighter friends were more than enough to rocket him out of their grasp. Once he was in the air though, the scaly bird grabbed hold of him once again. How did all of that bring him back to the exact spot he was in before? Well, this wasn’t going to do. Apparently Black Shadow agreed as a black cloud enveloped both of them. A smirk was clear enough to show that this was exactly what he wanted.

The Plasma Wisp’s fist dug deep into the ground after it skimmed over Mr. L’s body. The creature was stuck trying to pull it out, but lucky for it the Luigi clone had no issue helping it out. The scarf wearing plumber slashed against the elemental’s body, knocking it back along with its now free fist. The being recovered quite quickly afterwards and tossed a lightning bolt at the humaniod’s foot.

As for the one that seemed to be stuck in an eternal tornado, it was able to summon enough of its strength to nudge its plasma based body out of the vortex and reform into a more feasible body. Though it wasn’t given an opportunity to celebrate as Mr. L blasted its ethereal body. The thing charged at the humanoid and attempted to hold down the man with a grapple.

The Plasma Wisp thought itself clever as its massive bolt barreled toward the canine. What it didn’t expect was that the creature summoned some sort of deflector-like item that shot some sort of star directly back at it. The item exploded on contact knocking the creature backwards, into the pit once more. Its body began to solidify, a trophy once more.

Mr. L quickly jumped out of the way of the wisp's attack as he caught sight of something Game & Watch seemed too weak to maintain his form as he transformed back... Just to be stolen by that alien bird. He wasn't sure what Black Doom would want with it but that is not what bothered the masked half of Luigi's subconscious. It was the Starvia Bugs that were after him and the alien hawk. Great, he can't let the target get infected, that would not do and improving his reputation so he's better at getting people to listen to peace. Mr. L simply jumped out of the way of the other wisp's grapple and ran after the hawk, not that is was hard considering he was one of the fastest in the Life Sphere. Mr. L crouched down more than normally humanly possible and released to do his signature spring jump once a little ahead of it and at the peak of his jump, he grabbed Mr. Game & Watch's leg. He figured his extra weight might not be enough and did not want to risk it. Equipping his L Brand Rocket Launcher, he shot at the face of the alien avian. He could've tried it from the ground, but he did not want to miss, in this way, if he did miss and force it to drop them, it would move too fast to possibly keep hold of the 2-dimensional being. He figured if the Shadow Tauro had more than those at his disposal he wouldn't of wasted time choosing who to shoot.

[Deleted]

Wolf jumped as he heard Black Doom's voice in his mind. "Jeez, if that's how you react to somebody thanking you, I'd hate to see what would happen if someone gave you a hug." The furry mercenary looked down into the pit and saw the Wisp he had been fighting turn back into a trophy. Feeling a little bit relieved, Wolf looked around for Mr. L and Game & Watch. He soon found them, dangling off one of Black Doom's birds while being chased by Shadow Bugs. The canine kept an eye on them, in case on of them fell.
