//------------------------------// // Chapter 35: VS Snake // Story: Light and Darkness // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// After Skystar reigned victorious over the puppet Little Mac, Starlight and her party took a short break to regain energy for the challenges they'll be facing later on. 20 minutes later, they defeated two more spirits and gained access to the 5th monitor which they sent two members to go find it in order to deactivate the next barrier. Eventually the barrier was knocked down and Starlight and her party entered the next room where, sure enough, someone was waiting for them. "That's the fighter?" asked Starlight. "Yes, it would appear so," said Eleven. "Solid Snake is it?" asked Lucario. The fighter turned around to face them. "Whoever is challenging Snake should be careful," said Link. "Why's that?" asked Sunset. "He's a weapons expert," explained Falcon. "So he uses guns, grenades, and rocket launchers," "Let me get a shot at him," said Villager. "Are you sure?" asked Cadence. "No worries I got this," said Villager. "Whatever you say," said Rainbow Dash. Villager stepped forward as Snake held up his arms. "Come at me," said Villager. Snake ran forward and tried to roll into him, but Villager grabbed him with his butterfly net and pulled him in, hitting him several times before throwing him behind him. Snake got up and pulled out a rocket launcher. He aimed at Villager and fired. Just as the missile came in Villager grabbed the missile and stuffed it into his pocket. "Wait what?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Yeah, that's one of Villager's skills," said Mario. "Picking up projectiles and items and using it against the user," Snake begin digging a hole in the ground as he buried a mine. Meanwhile Villager planted a tree which somehow sprouted out of the metal floor. The he took out an axe and swung it into the tree once, and waited. Snake saw him hiding behind the tree and ran towards him, but Villager swung the axe into the tree once more causing it to fall. "Timber!" Villager announced. Snake tried to stop but was crushed under the tree. "That looks painful," said Spike wincing. Suddenly Snake grabbed the tree and pushed it off as he got to his feet. "That should've killed him," said Ember. "Not in this world not," said Pac-Man. Snake dusted himself off and glared at Villager. He reached out to grab him, but Villager pulled out a slingshot and began pelting Snake with stones. Snake yelped as he backed up while covering his face. "Eat stones!" said Villager. Snake growled as he rolled behind him and put Villager into a headlock. Villager yelped as he thrashed around trying to escape. But Snake managed to knock him unconscious and slow put him down. "Oh come on wake up pal!" yelled Rainbow. Villager yelped as he jumped up and faced Snake. "Not cool buddy," said Villager. Snake smirked as he held up a detonator. "Wait what's that for?" "Under you," said Snake. "What?" asked villager. He looked under his feet to see the place Snake panted the mine. "Oh shit," cursed Villager. "There," said Snake as he pushed the button. The mine exploded underneath him and knocked Villager into the air. Snake ran up and kicked him in midair before raising his leg and slamming it down on Villager's head, sending him crashing into the ground. Villager crawled out as Snake ran at him getting ready for another attack, but Villager quickly reached into his pocket and threw the missile he grabbed earlier into Snake's face. Snake stepped back as Villager ran and threw a pot at his head. "Wow he's actually doing good," said Starlight. "Villager, Villager, Villager!" Spike and Rainbow cheered in unison. Snake reached over to his belt and pulled out a grenade "Let's see you dodge this," said Snake. He pulled the key out of the grenade and threw it. Villager rolled his eyes as he grabbed the grenade and shoved it into his pocket. "Oh come on!" groaned Snake. "You think you're so sneaky don't you?" asked Villager. "Sorry, buddy but I can read you from a mile away," boasted Villager. He ran towards Snake as he pulled out his slingshot. Meanwhile Snake pulled out his rocket launcher again and fired at Villager. Villager pulled out the grenade from his pocket and fired it back at Snake with his slingshot. At the same time he pocketed the missile like before. Snake flinched as the grenade rolled by his feet, but before he could react it went off sending him flying into the air. Villager quickly pulled out the missile and threw it Snake knocking him backwards but pulled him in using his butterfly net. He pounded Snake a couple of times before tossing him like a doll and hit him with stones using his slingshot. "Is there anybody in Smash that's not good a combos?" asked Starlight. "It is a tournament where the best fighters are gathered," said Pac-Man. "Poyo!" said Kirby. "Honestly I'm not very good at combos though," mumbled Olimar. "Aww that's not true," said Peach. "You just need practice," "Maybe," said Olimar. "Go Villager go!" cheered Skystar. As Snake struggled to fight back, Villager continuously grabbed his projectiles and hurled it back at him while also pelting him with stones constantly. "Ugh you're so annoying!" hissed Snake. "Snake hissed?" asked Rainbow. "Wow, he's really living up to his name," "Rainbow what are you talking about?" asked Sunset. "They said that Snake hissed," said Rainbow. "Who?" asked Sunset. "The human writing this," said Rainbow. "Oh my Celestia, Rainbow you're becoming like Pinkie Pie," said Twilight. The smash fighters looked at each other with confusion. "I'll explain everything later," said Twilight. "Gah let go of me!" Snake hissed. The party quickly refocused on the fight to see Villager grabbing Snake with his net again. 'If you ask nicely, maybe I will," said Villager. "Can you please let go of me?" asked Snake. "Sike!" laughed Villager as he continued to hold onto Snake. "Ah fuck you," cursed Snake. Villager tossed him to the side as Snake let out a scream. His limp body lay on the ground as light burst out of his body. "Nice," said Spike. Villager walked over to Snake as he slowly sat up. 'What happened?" Snake groaned. "I'll explain everything if you come with me," said Villager. 'Who are you kid?" asked Snake. "I'm the Villager from Animal Crossing," said Villager. "I'm part of the tournament, remember?" "Oh right you told me before didn't you?" asked Snake. Their conversation was interrupted as Starlight and her party walked up to them. "Welcome back Snake," said Mario. "Ah Mario, tell me, where am I?" asked Snake. "It's a bit of a long story," said Mario. "Tell me on the way out," said Snake. "I just want to get out of here," "Unfortunately not, there still something else we have to deal with," said Starlight. "Who're you?" asked Snake. "A friend, anyway let's move quickly, there still one opponent we have to face," said Starlight.
