//------------------------------// // A battle against a king of phantoms (+Update) // Story: OFF the rails // by The Winged Merchant //------------------------------// I found myself in a new area, Probally another dream battle I have to endure. First Mettaton, then Daybreaker, now what? I look around, I was in a dark room. The only thing in the room was a painting of an iconic hero of gaming himself. (Ignore Luigi or replace him with The Batter/Sans) When I reaches out to the painting of Mario, A phantom took the painting away, and attempts to scare me back down, failing miserably as the result was anger rather than fear. He had menacing pink eyes, a purple gemmed crown on top of his head, black eyelashes, tons of sharp fangs, and a dark purple tongue. This impure spectre, better known as King Boo, then partakes in trying to mock me, much to my annoyance. Luckily he stopped as fast as he started. "Mwahahaha! Now what do we have here? Why, if it isn't my old pal Lu-" He started only to stop as he got a good look at me. "...Who the heck are you?" He asked out of curiosity as my appearance truly perplexed him. "I am The Batter, I have come to purify you King Boo. I know what you broke and I have come to take it back." I said ready to fight. I knew where I was, I knew what to do. I have to fight King Boo and defeat him, once and for all. He laughed as he admitted "Yes, it was I who broke the Dark Moon! This power-enhancing jeweled crown of mine made it easy. And now that all the ghosts of Evershade Valley are under my control...it's time to take my rightful place as the supreme ruler of your world! ...Now that I think of it, you, Batter, will look great hanging on the wall of my throne room! Aaaaaahahaha!" The room finally lit up as I could see the room around me more clearly. "Purification in progress..." I muttered, ready to fight this corrupted guardian of specters, er... I mean King Boo. Where did that even come from? Oh well, I'll look into it. Anyway, I was ready to fight as I summoned my Add-Ons. Attack > Competences > Wide Angle King Boo The king of the Paranormal Dimension. 300 HP INF CP Strong Weakness against Light and the Poltergust 3000/5000 King Boo slammed down on the ground as I was pushed back by the shockwave. Attack > Competences > Entire Chain As Alpha shot forth a chain of light, I began to dodge the red spike balls dropping from the ceiling as King Boo got hit by one as he was paralyzed. Attack > Competences > Radical Blur Omega shot forth as he rushed at King Boo, reducing his defense as he struck as King Boo felt the damage. King Boo then forced us into a hall as I ran forward, dodging most of the traps, knowing fully that he was in hot pursuit until I escaped him as I was back in the room he forced me out of. Attack > Competences > Unrevokable Drama I felt a small increase in speed as King Boo called down lightning as I dodged most of them it thanks to the light agility boost I got. The tiles that got hit turned into either sand or ice. Attack > Competences > Magic Homerun I jumped up high as I smacked the impure king towards the ground. He dropped more spike balls as I felt them hit me and my Add-Ons. I dodged quickly and let loose with the competences. Attack > Competence > Entire Chain Attack > Competence > Photographic Blur Attack > Competence > Classic Drama Attack > Competence > Ultimate Homerun With that, the king could take our attacks. He fell and turned into a pile of blood and ectoplasm. Purification successful I got no new moves this time but I didn't care as I left. An uncharacteristic smirk plastered on my face. I felt myself vanish. With that. There was nothing in that void except for the now forever unconscious Mario trapped in a painting trapped in a void of emptyness.
