(VS Shake King) ♫ Wario Land: Shake It! - Final Boss ♫

Wario time!

Wario leaps into the fray with a strike at the ground beneath him, but misses as Shake King jumps to the side. Quickly, though, Wario shifts from a handstand into a midair Tommy Fists, which chip away at Shake King's guard.

Graaahhh!

---

Meanwhile, Pac-Man rushes over to Slur, handing her Healing Fruits.

WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (I don't get it... Wario has powers, right? He should be using them.)
*ROAR* (He could be waiting for the chance to surprise him.)
WAKA. (Wario.)

Petey shrugs in a "I never said it HAD to be true" fashion.

---

Wario is shoved back by a blocked punch, but manages to shrug it off.

You asked for it! it's time for my Mega Micro-Combo!
!
WAAAAAHHHH! CHOMP ATTACK!

Wario bites at Shake King's arm, only for the attempt to be dodged!

!?
(What the--!?)
SHOULDER BASH--

Wario is promptly caught in the middle of his Shoulder Bash before he can properly attack.

...How in the... My super combination!
I've seen you use these moves. Multiple times. These would have to work against a completely new, completely different enemy who has never seen you battle in this manner before.

Wario is then kneed in the face, before receiving a chop to the back of the head!

(What a prodigy.)

---

Tommy Fist (Swift/Impact)- Previously Rudy's move, but now adopted by Wario, who rather than generating the fists necessary uses his own to emulate the attack. The user releases a ridiculous amount of fists simultaneously, near-endlessly punching the user. Goes first, but when used against something that will also goes first goes second, dealing twice as much damage as before. Cannot be dodged.

A thunderbolt crashes down onto Slur, while Shake King surges with electricity.

You do not order the likes of me, whose power is without limit.

---

Aah?

Yoshles suddenly sits upright, looking up to Tailigee.

(So, was my ribcage being shattered into pieces a dream, too, or...?)
Oh, no, that-a-definitely happened. Nothing a few healing machines couldn't fix.
(And everyone else just gawked at my physical condition. I guess I know how Somari must've felt.)

Tailigee helps Yoshles up as they meet up with everyone who doesn't go by Slur or

---

Wario steps up, approaching Shake King.

Oh, yeh! Time 'ta take out the trash!

Wario gets ready to face Shake King.

...Hmph. It was only through your Sparky transform in which you had the potential to compete. Now, you wish to proceed... without that leverage?
Leverage? WAHAHAHAH! As if I need some fancy-schmancy electrical form to take you down!
As usual, your arrogance is your worst shortcoming... and I will make sure that it is your last.

That pretentious bastard....... he's working with him...
Working with who now?
Eheheheh.... I won't forgive him for this.

Everyone stands by in confusion or concern... except for one person, who places a hand on Walter from behind. Before they get the chance to speak, however...

DON'T TOUCH ME!!

An extreme flame suddenly comes in contact with Prototype's hand, as well as the rest of his forearm, engulfing it and burning it into erasure!!!

!!!!!

What the hell are you looking at!? I--

Walter catches a glimpse of Prototype's missing forearm.

Ohhhh... woah, what happened to that?
You happened.
Unnnngh. Let me--
I'll be fine, thanks.
...! (With one appendage missing!?)
That's why being a robot rocks.
What are you--

Suddenly, where Prototype's arm was, a new synthetic body part begins sliding into place.

When you can recreate your limbs in a pinch, things getting torn off means nothing.
...Oh.
WOW, THAT DOESN'T SOUND CON--

Shake King dodges at the last minute, though is still caught off guard by a headbutt from behind by Wario.

---

... (Huh.)
I have the urge to hug you, but right now my arms and hands are artillery weapons and I haven't figured out how to change them yet.
Do I even want to hear why he looks like this?
Before, he needed a helmet to keep him from taking damage. Now, his helmet is an invulnerable piece of armor that'll prevent him from taking damage.
Also, propellers kinda suck and they make easy targets, so now his flight is self-sustained.
...So he's got some balance patches. Big deal. What part of this matters?
He can drop nukes with the atomic mass of a neutron star.
...That is awesome.
Okay, so all of that is done with, can we just focus on what we're doing next.

Soul points to the incapacitated Delta.

Sure. After we fix that.

Everyone turns to Walter.

...Fine. President Powers, WOW, THAT DOESN'T SOUND CONTRIVED! restore that one sad kid that no one except Soul and kinda Scale care about.

Walter sprinkles his fingers into the air. Delta returns to normal.

He'll wake up once we return.
From where, though?
Your mom's house, you're not invited but the IRS is. Will, come in.
...Huh? Hold on? Is this--?
What? No, don't be silly, it's the queen of England, dumbass.
Oh, sorry, *dodging grunt* I guess it's just hard to believe *temporal manipulation noises* you're actually owning up to your shit for once.
Zing.
Hop into your pocket dimension and go insane.
What?
Not you. Me and six other people are on our way. Seven if Jelly Jiggler is still here.
You mad bro?
*blunt contact noise*
Fine by us, but you may be better off setting up a rendezvous in space. We're wrapping up here.
We're still coming. The faster, the better.
Ugh, I hope that's not who I think it is...
(!!!)

Bowser sits on his throne, his son one of the armchairs.

Kamek... is there any King as awesome as I am?
Not in this world, nor the next, my lord.
Yeah, right! Someone really "awesome" wouldn't end up getting his butt handed to him so many times by the same person!
Heh! I bet you haven't even learnt a thing! Mario will arrive and kick you to the curb before you know it!
Toad, hush!

Bowser stands, shooting the caged four a menacing glare.

Hah! If you knew what was good for you, you wouldn't have tried to stand up to his maliciousness!
I bet he'll turn you two into paste and roast you into a barbecue!
That settles it, boys... their fates are sealed.

Bowser appears more and more infuriated... but then bursts into laughter.

Gahahahahaahahahahah! Ahahahahahahah! Oh, that is rich!

In the blink of an eye, Bowser appears right in front of the cage.

!
Heheh... sorry, runt, but you've got the wrong idea. I've got a plan so diabolical, ain't no one gonna get in my way.
But that's what you said the time before the time before last time!
Yeah? Well, now, it's a hundredfold times more sinister. A thousand, even! That is how lethal the likes of my secret weapon will be... and by the time your "Heroes" even try to stop it... they'll be far too late.
I'm not sitting here twiddling my thumbs, either. As we speak, my troops are extending my empire to the likes of unseen proportions.
...Mine too. I-I just thought I'd say that.
But... seeing as you won't even get the chance to squeal any info, I'll tell you all about my plan to---

A creaking sound comes from the doors, which open wide, revealing Boom Boom, Pom Pom, and a third person.

Oh, what now?
Yeah, we're back, boss...and we brought a guest.
My, my, Bowser... it would look as though you've more than just outdone yourself this time.

*glass noise*
*ROAAAAR!* (It's a good thing I don't have eyes because if I did these ice shards would be preventing me from seeing anything!)

Look, lady. I know what you're tryin' 'ta do. You're tryin' 'ta set me up. Give me a new power, some edge to beat Shake King. Well, it's not that simple!
Wario, we shouldn't be arguin' about this!

*glass noise*
*WAKA-WAKA!* (Ouch! My peculiarly-shaped eyes!)

But it ain't that simple! The guy just-- He's too tough for any shenanigans like that, okay!? And ain't no gust 'a wind gonna change that!

*paper flipping*
*BEEP! BEEP!* (MY LEGS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO GO THIS WAY.)

He can't age, the words when and where are meaningless to him, and he's as tough as nails!... dipped in Adamantium and Vibranium... enchanted with Uru... blessed by the gods and smolted under a layer 'a Katchin...

*THWAP, THWAP*
O-HOWWW! IS THIS REALLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE HIT BY MY BANDANAS!?

*tick, tick, tick, tick...*
Not to the face, not to the face, no, no, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOO---
*BOOM!*

A waste of time. All you are doing is taking your suffering and expanding it beyond necessity.

Besides, where's the buildup? If it's THAT easy to the point where I could say somethin' corny like "wInD cOrE, GloRiOUs FiSt!" then it's not special at all! It just--

Before Wario can finish, a giant fist made entirely out of wind drops down on Shake King, flattening him.

Wahahah! Does Wario hear that? He'll be like Aang, but only with a fourth of the epicness and really fat! But not bald, so it balances out!
*munch munch*
...Wario?

Waluigi turns, spotting Wario... with a full mouth.

...Wario. What were you eating?
...Mmmmmm..
Wario?
Mmmmmm?
Don't play games with--

A loud crash comes from the distance. Black and Red are sent flying past them.

GETTHISOVERWITHALREADDYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!
...Don't play games with Waluigi, young man! Whatever it is, spit it out this instant!
Mmm! Muh mmmm mmm mmmmm!
WARIO WALUIGI SWEARS TO HIMSELF IF HE DOES NOT EMPTY HIS MOUTH RIGHT NOW HE'LL GROUND WARIO FOR TWO WEEKS!
......*gulp*!
WAAAAAAAH! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAAAAANT!

Someone grabs the core...

Eh? What's 'is?
Wario! You're not sucumbing from your prolonged wounds anymore!
Mushrooms tend 'ta fix that, Waluigi.
(He still looks... really, really, familiar... if only I could put my finger on it...)
And what do you plan on doing with that in your hands?
...Well, it's supposed to give me powers... so...

Wario squints at the Core, sizing it up and down.

Is there some kinda password or on button? Or do I recite somethin' like "Power sphere, activate!"?
*ROAR* (I think--)
Or maybe I'm supposed to channel my inner energies or some lame yoga thing like that? Or what if I'm supposed to be a robot or somethin'?

Wario investigates the core.. only for something to crash inbetween everyone.

We totally forgot, didn't *haaaack*

Yellow finds himself picked up on one hand by Shake King.

I have not forgotten about you lot.
!
*KAAFF KaFF whEEEEEZE*
Yellow, you don't have a throat. Stop acting like you're choking.
Oh, okay!
You let him go this instant! (Oh, man... I'm gonna have to stall for everyone else, aren't I?)
Or what?

Ryoga turns around to Wario and Waluigi, the latter whom receiving Ryoga's gesture and nods in return, before teleporting a safe distance away.

...Or I'll make you ever regret laying your hands on anyone ever again!

Ryoga charges at Shake King, who smacks the hell out of him with a single backhand.

Wario right now is writhing in pain.

H-he overpowered him!
So... We must have this in the bag, right?
...

Yoshles throws another punch at Shake King, who dodges it. He follows up with another non-connecting series of jabs, each seeming further away from contact.

Nghh-drrrgh! ((Damn... running out of Coins...))
...Hnh. You've hit your limit.

Yoshles glides into the air, pouring the rest of his strength into a last-ditch effort punch... which Shake King easily avoids, giving his own punch in the stomach to Yoshles instead!

*squeak*
Oh, no!
Oh no!
Oh, no...
OH, NO!...

Waluigi, who is trying to tend to the damaged Wario, quickly takes time to grab Petey's attention, before pointing him at what just happened.

...*ROAR* (Oh. Noooo.)

Ugh... I'm glad we were able to stop that menace before things went from worse to worst. Now it's just up to them.

Jet looks outside the window of his ship.

President, huh? He sorta reminded me of--

Jet suddenly tightens his two fists.

...No. I have to move on. Joe and Jasmine are both dead, and there's nothing I can do about that.
I won't let what happened to them be in vain. I've reassembled Gedow, gathered The Seven Legendary Oscars, and will use them to protect everything they would've... I swear it.

Jet begins to walk away... only for something to crash through the walls, tackling him out of the fortress!

!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

---

*VROOM*
So, are you teleporting?, or...?
I'm folding the space around me, and then turning that space into a paper airplane that sends us where we need to be.
Oh no.
To which one of them are you referring to when you say "oh no"?
Yes.

As the doors slide open, Walter and Scale enter.

President Oliver?
Fuck you.

Gosh... I had no idea you guys might think this way...
...Yeah. Yeah, I did. Which is why I saw to it I would be equipped with officials of my own.

A moment later, surrounding the Vaatis are less plentiful Vaati.

You summoned us, boss?
You're forcing us to do whatever you want through giving others corruptive power? Dude, you're a government!
I'm pretty sure he's already addressed the fact that he's clearly evi--

The Vaati who makes that last remark is suddenly erased.

Oh oh! that guy just up and vanished. Looks like we'll never know what he was going to say.
I'll cut to the chase. The longer this goes on, the more of a political commentary this looks like. Bottom line: Don't cross me, or my chicken.
He just HAS to bring up his cock when no one asks.
Now, go outside, and uh-- go do, whatever it is you guys were doing before. Only look even more dejected because I'm mean.

The doors slowly opens. A line of dejected Vaatis slowly make their way out.

---

You just had to go and invite him, huh?
Stop choosing now to have abandonment issues. He's stronger than you or me.
What are you guys even arguing about? And why did the Upgrade Machine turn me into this?
Why tell you? You're the Team Leader's yes man, you'll just take his side.
I left the president a voice mail. And it transforms you to maximize the most potential you could gain out of what you were already. So no need for necessarily lengthy arcs forcing you through a mental and physical trial.
Then I assume you're not going in.
Perhaps some other time. We still have to wait for Junior, after all.
YOU MONSTERS! HE WAS THE ONE I LIKED!

The violence continues, becoming more loud and more and more excessive... then suddenly comes to a halt.

Alright, alright, STOP! Literally none of us benefits from this!
Oh yeah? Then what do we do?
*inhale*... why don't you START with telling me what made you all request a raise in the first place?
Oh, so NOW you're curious.
Answer the damn question.
...Look. We don't eat or drink, we don't sleep, so there's probably no need for us to complain, much less "work"... but...
but...?
BUT... we didn't sign up for what we got. If no effort is going into be put into any exchange, why should we do the same? If people care more about creating a spectacle than GENUINELY putting an end to a very obvious madness... then there's no purpose.
...I don't follow.
What he's saying is that we're not interested in wasting our time! If we go back out there and "do our job", nothing will be gained nor lost on either side! There are no stakes, there is no real purpose, anything that IS gained there could be easily gained somewhere else! It's not fun, it's people doing things because they feel like they have to!
Whaaaat?
Silence is one thing, sure. We're charming enough to make banter work on our own. But to not even try to put effort in. That's just too much. A sorry, disrespectful, excuse. ESPECIALLY for our wage.
Yeah! How come Group B gets to actually get a worthwhile thing going on at Sword Sanctuary, huh? This... this is just... slave labor! But we're being paid! Barely!
You're exaggerating.

---

YOU'LL NEVER SWORD ME ALIVE!

Vaati fires a Gale Beam, which Will Smith blocks with a Chronal Guard.

You and your sick sense of pleasure... you think you'll escape from this without consequence?

from behind another one attempts to ram Will down, only to be shut down by a running lariat.

Wastin' your breath, Will. Guys like him only learn the hard way.

The two jump back right on cue, abandoning both enemies around them to be hit by a Collateral Grenade from afar!

---

Are we, funny man? Are we?
Hey, look, I still haven't given my perspective on things--
We don't need your perspective, you dark sorcery bigot! You think you get to oppress us and hold us down!
Look, I'm sure we can--
Well. You're wrong! You don't even know if you're the original! The only reason we work with you besides boredom is the fact that if you disappear, it's game over for all of us! So here's how it's gonna go:
Either you reimburse our income to suit our respective needs. Somehow get this gig over with. Or lose ALL OF US. Whether or not that's from you absorbing our essence or us making like a CEO's wife eager for some divorce money is on YOU.
...

---

Chronal Guard (Time/Shield)- Will Smith creates a large shield made of chronal energy from himself and his surroundings. Becomes more powerful the more time spent equipped.
Collateral Grenade (Explode/Damage)- Rambo tosses an extremely damaging grenade, multiplied by ten in damage for every ability used by it's target.

The doors are locked. Why he chose to lock them when that still leaves several opportunities for the area to be bust through in similar manners is beyond explaining. Muffled noises can be heard from the outside.

Yeah, he's getting trolled so hard and he doesn't even realize it.
*cluck cluck cluck*
And that's why it'll make for the perfect twi--
*teleporting noises*
Give us a raise or we quit.
Huh?
Did he stutter? Give us a raise on Rupees or we're done.
Hey, who gave you the right to make demands?
You? Me? Us? Them? Does it matter? We're the same person! Just because that thing is larger than anything we've got doesn't mean you can mistreat us like this!
I'll have you know this has nothing to do with my cock! I'm more powerful than the rest of you, so you have to listen to what I say! You, and the rest of your damned trade union!
We'd sooner shed our last drops of blood!
Then drop them, you shall!

The sound of large unreasonable amounts of violence echoes through the locked doors.

The Vaatis vanish all without a trace.

(Damn it, what are we supposed to do? I'd try stopping him, but the asshole feels invincible!)
...Not-a-dignifying that. Have you-a-tried getting riled up?
(I mean, yeah. But I feel pretty optimistic about our chances of beating him.)
CW Flash exists.
...

---

Wario struggles to get up, before being grabbed by the neck by Shake King.

Now, you shall finally-- Hold on a moment, this is too good to be true.

Shake King zaps his surroundings with thunderbolt behind him... which seems not to hit anything.

Ah. Now, where was I?
Now you shall finally--

Shake King feels a sharp and powerful force hit him from behind, knocking him down and forcing him back to his regular state before he can realize.

Wh--what!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Shake King is hit with a fiery flurry of fists, personally giving him a pre-emptive pummeling!

---

Maximum Heat (insert name) (Attack/Flame)- An attack where after storing up power, the user gains a powerful aura, increasing their attacks and making them much stronger. The longer they are in this state, the more rapidly their speed decreases.

I TOLD YOU TO-- Ugh, nevermind.

Wario races towards Shake King, gutting him with a headbutt to the stomach.

Hit 'em with somethin' really, really really strong, really really really hard!

As Wario tries to keep it up, Shake King sidesteps Wario's attack, launching him into the air with a counter, following up with a Shake Beam!

ADMIT DEFEAT!!

As the Shake Beam flies into Wario's direction, something teleports behind Wario in the air, deflecting the electric wave with a Racket Reflect!

RRRGH!
Waluigi!
Waluigi's one chance to be important! And he ain't blowin' it!
No, you numbnut! Y'gotta be careful! Shake King's way faster than any of your teleporting!

Waluigi teleports himself and Wario back on the ground.

Faster than bendin' space? Get real! Waluigi wouldn't mind putting that to the test!

Shake King fires a large Shake Orb at Waluigi, who teleports several meters away.

See? No problemo! Wahahahah--hah?

Waluigi spots a large shadow behind him. In response to this, he immediately teleports away into the air, only to see Shake King staring at him upside down.

Waluigi teleports inside of the bar, only to gape at Shake King sitting on one of the only non-broken chairs.

Waluigi teleports back out, only to spot Shake King standing on the roof of one of the nearby buildings.

Wah... no way!

Waluigi teleports again, this time seeing no sign of Shake King. Dropping his guard, he lets go a sigh of relief.

phew...
UNDER YOU!
WHA--

Narrowly shoving Waluigi out of the way, Wario takes a full-force Raijinte, doing major damage!

Wrong.

Shake King begins to slowly rise...

There is no one more powerful than I... If there was... you wouldn't be wasting your time fighting a battle that isn't yours.

Shake King releases an AoE burst of electricity around him, hitting everything within his vicinity with Shake Orbs!

this ain't fitting so guess what

Can't-a-use Time Stop or slow things down with Time Break, Shake-a-King doesn't experience time linearly.

Somari gets in starting position.

Looks-a-like we're doing this the old fashioned way.

Somari begins building up speed.

---

Shake King suddenly finds himself affected by a switch in gravity, forcing him down.

URGH!

Immediately Shake King is greeted with a barrage of several projectiles, giving Wario ample time to return Shake King's previous attack with a powerful blow to the face!

Ohhh, that's what you want, huh? You want your own shield? That right?

Walter snaps his fingers, creating another identical shield that drops on Parallel Meta Knight. He then relinquishes his psychic grip before punting both him and the shield out into space.

You're welcome.
Hey, is it just me, or is the current climate of this planet changing...?
Don't know, don't care. I'm done.

Walter Psyche Captures Galacta Knight before mentally tossing him in the direction of a distant star.

I'm almost certain that won't kill him. But as soon as I am finished with everything I'll come back to finish what he started.
Hey, what's up with--
Shut up, shut up, shut up.

Walter disappears.

---

Pop Star suddenly pops back up.

---

Walter returns. He tosses Scale an umbrella.

I've restored everything. I am aware that was essentially your home and to unforsee a threat return like that unable to stop it ahead of time is completely my fault, and none of you asked for any of this. You are completely entitled to any feelings of aggression towards me.
That said, I've also read his mind and now know how he's been unsealed. Another potential threat that is again my responsibility, only this time, I will make sure this is dealt with in no time flat. In the meantime, I would suggest being cautious just in case. And thanks for helping us out. We would have seriously been in trouble if not for that.

---

Shadwari teleports back.

Everybody else. Either stay back, or find some way to back up Wario... I'LL take care of Shake King's little goons.
(But you haven't even reco--)
I don't need any of your help! Leave!

...

Everybody who already hasn't follows after Shake King, leaving Shadwari. In front of him, people begin to float down from the sky.

Really? "goons"?
You all don't have to worry. I'm sure me and Genie can take care of this ass all by ourselves.
...I don't think so. NONE of you are getting past me without a fight.
