Chapter 20: Entrance to Subspace

Last time I ripped off Mother 3 for the most part. Purple & Co, now including Gadd, traveled to Shroob City- where the Shroobs have relocated the Mushroom Kingdom’s population- to speak with King Shroob about the fights between them and the Shroobs. But on their way to the throne, they faced dance-offs, little girls, giant monsters, robots, and the Koopa Bros. After a mildly challenging battle, the king stupidly trapped himself and Subspace took over the whole floating town, along with everyone in it. Our heroes escaped and figured out that previously bombed places are back to being bombed. What’ll happen now?

Luigi: Wow, long recap. That’s what we get for long chapters, I guess. So what do we do?

Rufus: Move?

Luigi: To where?

P.T.: I know! There’s this rocket in the-

Yux: If you talk about that rocket one more time-

P.T.: Shut up, Yux.

Gadd: Good luck! I’m gonna do whatever I want! I have the whole kingdom to myself!

Fin: What’re you gonna do?

Gadd: I can’t say!

Gadd runs away.

Everyone Else: …

P.T.: I’m bored.

Purple: Well we can’t just leave all those people in what was Shroob City to be stuck forever! We gotta do something!

Rufus: Are you sure the FF can handle that many more plot twists? Just look at what Fin stole from Gadd.

Fin: How’d you know?

Rufus: Look at this meter. It’s almost filled! The author’s natural randomness gave it a kick-start, then all the plot twists increased the amount! The universe isn’t stable, man!

P.T.: Oh please! This happens in almost every story I write! What makes this one so bad?

Rufus: Probably Yux’s Randomizing.

Luigi: Yux, you helped doom us all!

Yux: You wanted me to use the Randomizer!

Fin: Shut up, nobody cares.

Yux: I hate you a-

Fun: I said shut up!

Everyone else starts snickering.

Fun: … What? … HEY! WHO CHANGED MY NAME FROM "FIN" TO "FUN"?!

Sorry.

Fin: Better.

Purple: I can’t take this much in a plot! Let’s just take the fight to Subspace and undo it like those guys in the game did!

Fin: How do we do that?

Everyone then gets the same idea. Soon…

Gadd: Well the Ancient Minister had ways of getting to Subspace, but Dark Red destroyed him. The other members of the Bowling Team of Doom might’ve also had ways, but they’re all defeated too. So we’ll just have to fly into a Subspace Bubble! Quick, everyone, to the Gaddmobile!

Everyone follows Gadd to a rocket. Oddly, there are enough seats for everybody. The ship then blasts off and goes through the roof.

Gadd: Squadala! We are off!

Everyone Else: What?

The rocket soon heads for the Subspace Bubble, where Shroob City was, and actually manages to enter. They get out.

Fin: Subspace sure is similar to how it was in the game. Didn’t it look different earlier in the story?

Gadd: That was before the author knew better. Now go, go and find some way to save people! I’ll stay here for no reason!

Yux: I hate you.

Gadd: Shut up. However, take this laptop!

PURPLE GOT THE LAPTOP!

Gadd: And here’s a piece of paper with a link to an important Youtube video that will help you in the most desperate hour!

PURPLE GOT THE PAPER WITH THE LINK ON IT!

Purple: Uh, okay. I guess we should go now.

Purple and the party continue forth, finding ruins of various Mushroom Kingdom locations in the background. After a ways, the heroes find some guy floating in midair.

Everyone but Luigi: Who is that?

Luigi: … IT’S TABUU!

Purple: Tabuu?! Oh my DAD!

Yux: Oh my DAD!

P.T.: Oh my DAD!

Rufus: Oh my DAD!

Fin: PADRE mios!

It’s true. A few yards from the cliff they’re on is Tabuu, in midair.

Tabuu: … Doom… Death… Destruction… Pain… Suffering… Trauma…

P.T.: Are you emo?

Tabuu: … Shut up! I’m trying to be dramatic!

Purple: What are you doing?

Tabuu: What do you think? I’m trying to takeover your world.

Everyone: ZUH?!

Tabuu: That’s right. I’m trying to destroy your world! Smashgea didn’t die so easily so I’m hoping your world will. I’ve employed the Bowling Team of Doom to attack the world so it can be destroyed by Subspace.

Fin: Smashgea?

Tabuu: The name I made up for the location of the world in that game. It’s a mix of “Smash” and “Pangea”.

Rufus: Then how’d the Shroobs get a Subspace Bomb?

Tabuu: Uh, well, I had to make some cutbacks… So I had it sold on eBay.

Everyone: …

Tabuu: Don’t judge me… Now, I’m impressed that you made it this far. I thought the Ancient Minister would stop you and I thought you’d never find out about the other four guys, meaning they could go ahead and attack your world. Bill Gates, Waluigi, and Ballyhoo were the most powerful members, so I didn’t think you’d beat them. I didn’t even think you’d find a way here, but you did. Well that’s enough from you. So now you DIE!

Tabuu’s rainbow wings appear and he shoots an Off-Wave at Fin, turning him into a trophy.

Tabuu: *CD-i Bowser laugh*

Purple: FIN!

Tabuu: Now I have a proposition for you. If you agree to it, I may spare you.

Purple: Never!

Rufus: Hold on, Purple, this might be good.

Purple: Rufus!

P.T.: No, no. Let’s hear what he has to say.

Luigi: Yeah, I wanna see where this is going.

Purple: Guys! Ugh. Fine, what’s your offer?

Tabuu: Join me, heroes, and I will make your faces the greatest in Koridai. Or you will die.

Gwonam from Zelda CD-I: Your Majesty, Tabuu and his minions have seized the island of Koridai.

Purple: What?! We’ve never heard of the place! No deal!

P.T.: Wait!

P.T. walks over to the edge of the cliff and turns to the others.

P.T.: I accept! Because... I was secretly one of the bad guys all along! I bet you didn’t expect that!

Everyone Else: Gasp!

P.T.: … Nah, just messing with you. I’m not a bad guy.

Everyone Else: …

P.T. goes back to the others.

Tabuu: YOU MUST DIE!

Tabuu spreads his wings and sends more Off-Waves, but as he does…

Yux: Randomize!

He glows and stops, right before becoming a trophy like the others, who then become scattered. Then Tabuu hides inside a glowing ball of light. In some random part of Subspace, some guy gets out from under some wreckage… Shade!

Shade: My head… Hmm? Hey, I’m back in the story! Finally after all that time!

Shade looks and sees a blue light far away.

Shade: … That’s weird. I wonder what it is.

Meanwhile…

Gadd: I’m bored.

Suddenly Gadd’s lab comes crashing down near him.

Gadd: Oh DAD, they got my house!

Suddenly Red’s portrait falls from the top of the wreckage and lands next to Gadd’s feet. Remember he was the Fire Bro that turned evil and then fused with Agent Dark and then became a recurring enemy, then finally got defeated and turned into a Boo then separated from Agent Dark when they were both made into portraits.

Gadd: I bet those idiots are probably off dying somewhere… Wait!

Gadd takes the portrait and then goes through the remains of his lab to find his machine that turned Dark Red Boo into the portraits of Agent Dark and Red.

Gadd: Idea!

He uses the machine in reverse to turn Red back into Boo form, and then forces a 1-Up Mushroom into his mouth, turning him back into a Fire Bro.

Red: Ugh… What happened? Huh? Where am I?

Gadd: You’re back in Subspace!

Red: Noooo!

Gadd: Now listen, I don’t know how I know this but this guy up ahead is the reason for all the turmoil, so go and kill him!

Red: But-

Gadd: Silence, nonbeliever!

Red: Fine…

Red walks onward. Soon he meets Shade.

Both: Who are you?

Shade: I’m Shade, the Shy Guy that was supposed to be a main character, but then got kicked out of the story for a few chapters.

Red: I’m Red, the Fire Bro who turned evil and then merged with an evil being to become a supremely powerful stalker enemy until I finally got turned into a painting. And when I was restored, I was normal.

Both of them: What are you doing? I’m heading to the bright blue light up ahead. Hey! Maybe we should join forces! Stop saying what I’m saying! I said stop! Hey! … She sells seashells by the seashore. You’re good.

Red: All right, let’s go.

They keep going forward and suddenly-

???: Stop!

At that point, the Ancient Minister, Grubba, Bill Gates, Waluigi, and Ballyhoo appear! Big Top was destroyed in the explosion, since he was part of the bomb. That’s why he’s not here.

Shade: Oh my DAD, I know you guys! I read the script while I was out of the story! You’re the Bowling Team of Doom! You were beaten by my friends!

Ancient Minister: Yes, and now we’re here to exact revenge!

Red: Yeah, I think I heard of you. But didn’t you all die or something?

Ancient Minister: I may have appeared to be crushed between the Thwomps, but I warped away in the nick of time and hid out for a while.

Grubba: After being trapped in an egg and used to beat Waluigi, I escaped. Later I found a Mushroom to bring me back to normal size!

Bill Gates: Bill too rich to die! Power of money revive Bill!

Waluigi: A tuna boat captured me and released me.

Ballyhoo: I’ve been here for a while, having been caught in a Subspace explosion. So of course it sent me here. But now Big Top is dead! Now we’re all here and ready to exact our revenge!

Shade and Red: Oh no!

Grubba: Now you will die!

Ancient Minister: Yes…

Suddenly two metallic, red arms burst out of the sides of the Ancient Minister! Ancient Minister then grabs Grubba and throws him at Bill Gates, knocking both out.

Waluigi: WAH! Ancient Minister, what are you doing?!

Ancient Minister: You may know me as the Ancient Minister, but I’m really-

He removes his garb.

Ancient Minister: ROB!

Everyone: ROB?!

ROB: Yes! Now it’s your turn!

ROB does an Arm Rotor attack, knocking Waluigi and Ballyhoo out.

Ballyhoo: You were loved…

Shade and Red: Huh?!

ROB: Let’s just call me Rob so the author doesn’t have to keep using caps so much. It gets tiring on the fingers.

Shade: What was that all about?

Rob: You see, I heard about Tabuu trying to take over your world, and I hate him for what he did to my people so I tried to get into a position of power so I could be trusted. Then when the time was right, I’d be able to take him down!

Red: You know when they wake up they’ll kill you.

Rob: I’ve done worse to them.

Red: … All right…

Suddenly the Daisy and Luigi statue from Daisy Circuit crashes on top of the unconscious members of the Bowling Team of Doom, and breaks.

Rob: Ooh… Oh well, they’ve survived worse.

Shade: More and more parts of the world are getting attacked, we gotta hurry!

Red: Look!

The three look over to find Rufus’s trophy. Red goes over and taps the base.

Rufus: Ugh… DARK RED! OH NO!

Red: No, I’m normal again.

Rufus: Oh. I guess Yux’s Randomizer brought you and Shade over there back into the story and to our rescue. And who’s that?

Shade: Oh, that’s Rob, AKA the Ancient Minister. He was apparently good all along and waited for the right time. The rest of the members of the Bowling Team of Doom actually were evil though and are unconscious and under that statue.

Then Peach’s Castle crashes right next to them. It’s ruined!

Rufus: Holy Goombas with a side salad! The world’s getting attacked by Subspace! That must be the bad news!

Rob: And when all of it is here, Tabuu will be unstoppable!

Rufus: We gotta stop him!

Shade, Red, Rob, and Rufus then continue. In another part of Subspace, Petey Piranha is asleep. He wakes up!

Petey Piranha: Ow… So that’s what that bomb did. What happened?

Prof. Frankly: You were used as a bad guy minion early in the story and were finally released from your hypnosis a few chapters later and haven’t been heard from since.

Petey Piranha: And the light a ways away?

Prof. Frankly: That’s Tabuu! You gotta stop him before all of the world ends up here!

Petey Piranha: Why are you conveniently here and telling me just what I need to know?

Prof. Frankly: I did it earlier in the story with a few other guys, so I wanted to do it again. Bye!

He leaves. Suddenly the main planet from the Snow Cap Galaxy appears and starts falling… right on top of Petey.

Petey: Yikes!

Petey moves just in time.

Petey: Uh, I guess I should help save the world. I haven’t had much action since that time I helped Larry avenge Bowser.

Petey flaps his leaves and flies. Shortly after that, he finds Fin’s trophy and P.T.’s trophy.

Fin: Why’d you do that?

Petey: I just saved you from Ganon!

Fin: You did not!

P.T.: What are you doing?

Petey: Someone told me I gotta stop Tabuu.

P.T.: Ooh, ooh, I wanna stop Tabuu!

Petey: Well too bad, I’m already doing it!

Fin: Hey, what about me?! Anyone ever think I wanted to do that?

Yux: Guys, you can all do it! Just shut up!

P.T.: Shut up, Yux. Wait, you’re alive?

Yux: Yeah, some hobo got sucked into Subspace and found my trophy and started chewing on it, then accidentally revived me… And that didn’t stop him from trying to eat me.

Fin: Wow, that’s so… lame. You’re lame.

Yux: I hate you all!

Meanwhile, Merlon warps into Subspace next to Purple’s trophy. He revives Purple.

Merlon: Axem Purple, it is time.

Purple: What?

Merlon: I was reading about prophecies and it turns out the Ancients predicted this whole ordeal!

Purple: Okay.

Merlon: The Ancients prophesized that you must learn a special maneuver to save the day, but you can only use it once. And once you use it, anything at all could happen. And you can’t tell anyone about the move until it’s time. And you’ll know when it’s time because you’ll be glowing as if you broke a Smash Ball.

Purple: I see. Okay, I’ll try to learn it, I guess.

Merlon: Okay, but we must hurry!

Meanwhile, Shade, Red, Rufus, and Rob are dodging falling objects and find Luigi’s trophy and revive him.

Luigi: Mamamia!

After some explaining…

Luigi: Oh. So now what?

Rob: We must defeat Tabuu!

Luigi: Oh my… Okay…

They keep walking ahead when suddenly a laser whizzes by, barely missing. They turn to find… the entire Shroob army with the Royal Shroobs!

Rufus: Aw man!

Shade: You were the current bad guys right as I was getting kicked out of the story!

King Shroob: My army… attack!

The Shroobs march forward.

Good Guys: Aw man!

Luigi: We’ll never defeat them all!

Suddenly the Mega Shell zooms by, taking out the aliens.

Rufus: That was convenient.

???: ROOAR!

The heroes turn again to find Fiery Dino Piranha.

Rufus and Luigi: NOT AGAIN!

Rob: All the enemies in this story seem to be reappearing all at once!

Fiery Dino Piranha starts charging forward and everyone gets out of the way. Shade moves his feet so he’s standing on his heels, and wheels come out of his shoes.

Rufus: I’ve heard of those shoes!

Shade skates along after Fiery Dino Piranha (who is unaware that the heroes dodged his charge) and spins into his tail, causing it to smack him in the head. Fiery Dino Piranha gets mad and turns around and starts chasing Shade.

Shade: Maybe that wasn’t the best idea!

Rufus, Red, and Luigi get out of the way. Rob sets out a Gyro block and starts charging up a shot. Finally he releases the spinning top and it flies over Shade’s head and into Fiery Dino Piranha’s mouth, and he chokes on it. Fiery Dino Piranha gets dizzy and falls over.

Luigi: That was close.

Rob: Come on, we don’t have enough time!

They hurry ahead. Meanwhile…

Merlon: And there you go. I’ll be watching from Flipside, I’m hoping you win!

Purple: Because good must always defeat evil?

Merlon: No, because after this, he’s gonna try to destroy Flipside and I’m too lazy to move.

Purple: …

Merlon warps away and then Petey, Fin, P.T., and Yux as well as Rob, Rufus, Shade, Red, and Luigi all appear. After some explanations…

Purple: Okay. Well I guess this is it, time to defeat Tabuu and save our world!

???: Wait!

Everyone turns to find Gadd.

Gadd: I got bored so I decided to come along.

Purple: All right. Let’s go, guys!

Purple, Shade, Yux, P.T., Fin, Luigi, Rufus, Red, Gadd, Petey, and Rob all go up the stairs leading to the bright ball, and enter.
So we begin the final story arc. We go into Subspace ourselves. By this point, Brawl had come out, so we're more accurate than we were in Chapter 4.

Now, there was actually another chapter before. This was originally Chapter 21. But the original Chapter 20 was pointless. It was basically a very long RPG battle against Youtube Poop characters, so the group could capture even more objects to reach Subspace. I'd had enough and decided to just have the heroes take the fight to Tabuu. So the argument at the start is a remnant of the original chapter. Everything else was from Chapter 21, which is now Chapter 20. So this will be a chapter shorter than on Lemmy's Land, because that chapter didn't go anywhere.

Tabuu is the final villain of the story, and the boss of the Bowling Team of Doom. So that technically means that we've been fighting them for most of the story. The Shroobs only had one arc and then one chapter, but the forces of Subspace have been the main enemy- only with a different focus in each arc.

P.T. asks if Tabuu is emo, which is another word I'm surprised Lemmy allowed. I saw someone else used it and thought I was able to. I know someone else was surprised when they read my chapter. And E. Gadd sure is callous. He's almost as bad as he is in Dark Moon, which was years after this came out. Oh and Red and Shade are back as the B-Team, ready to pick up the heroes' slack.

The Bowling Team reappears for one last go, but the Ancient Minister finally reveals his true colors as ROB and joins the heroes, having been a good guy all along. It's basically the same twist as in Brawl, but this time ROB had it all planned out. I think it works. We also get Petey to come in. This chapter is full of 11th-hour party members. This story did have the smallest main party out of all three stories.

I like Yux's explanation for how he came back from being a trophy. We also foreshadow a secret technique for Purple. It does come into play for the grand finale of this story. This chapter is all about wrapping things up so that we can move on into the final battle. The Bowling Team of Doom, the Shroobs, Red, and Fiery Dino Piranha are all addressed. I wanted the Koopa Bros. to appear, but I forgot. So technically, Luigi and Petey are working for ROB once again.

Anyway, this chapter is all right by me. A good way to set up for the battles to come, as well as put an end to previous villains. The Mega Shell was cheap, but what can you do?
