Chapter 13: Studying the Details

Subspace: Between the All-stars and Super Smash Bros Universes

"Oh come on R.O.B, I know the information I want is still in that robotic brain of yours," Poly-Tabuu chided.

R.O.B didn't look so good. He looked like a glitchy robot that didn't work properly with him sparking electricity on random parts of his robotic body.

R.O.B weakly looked up at Poly-Tabuu but his eye lens were almost closed giving the enemy a glare.

"I don't have the data you want! Even if I did, I will never give them to an enemy like you!"

Poly-Tabuu rushed off the wounded robot aside, since it wasn't the answer he wanted.

"Pichu, if you may,"

"PICHU!" The Tiny Mouse Pokemon shoot an electrical chare at the robot.

R.O.B shook violently from the attack, his circuits being fried due to having too much electricity in his body.

Pichu stopped his attack, giving R.O.B a chance to settle down his body.

"Well?" Questioned Poly-Tabuu.

"I… will not…give you…the information you want," R.O.B exhaustingly refused.

Poly-Tabuu sighed in frustration. What will make the robot talk?

"Mewtwo, can't you read his mind?" The crystal deity turned to Mewtwo.

"Forgive me Master. He is not an organic life form, there for my psychic abilities can't read his computer brain," the cloned legendary humbly apologised.

As Poly-Tabuu was thinking of other ways to torture R.O.B, he caught a sense of energy not huddled up together like the Smashers and All-Stars. It was isolated and alone.

Poly-Tabuu turned to his minions. "Make sure the robot doesn't get away," he ordered before focusing a subspace portal.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lake Shore

Evil Cole was hanging around the lake, muttering to himself trying to calm down his anger from his previous tantrum.

He turned around and fell down an awaiting subspace portals.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at Subspace

Evil Cole fell down and landed on the all too familiar prism stage with a thud. As he stood up he saw Poly-Tabuu along with his minions.

"Ah, welcome back to subspace Cole McGrath," maliciously chided Poly-Tabuu.

Evil Cole got in a fighting position. "I'm not my pathetic, goody-two-shoes half! I'M THE EVIL, MORE POWERFUL HALF! AND I'M GOING TO DESTORY YOU AND TAKE ALL YOUR POWERS!" The evil counter-part viciously shouted, sparking red electricity out of his palms.

Poly-Tabuu evilly chuckled "Oh Cole. You're thinking too small, why not be the only Cole?"

Evil Cole looked confused at the crystal winged man before his red lightning disappeared out oh his hands. "What do you mean?"

Poly-Tabuu showed a sinister smirk before hovering close to Evil Cole, the crystal man's orange eyes glowing spellbindingly.

"You were repressed anger when you and your good half was one person. I saw that and sent an energy blast to separate you two. I only did that for fun, but now I see you have so much potential."

"Join me, you will be the only Cole McGrath in both dimensions. Living your own life, the way you want to. And nobody will ever stop you," Bargained Poly-Tabuu.

Evil Cole thought for a moment, destroying his positive half, would mean he's the only Cole McGrath that's left. And joining Poly-Tabuu would mean more universes to dominate than the District, back in his good half's home.

"I knew you would see it my way," sneered Poly-Tabuu before stabbing Evil Cole's heart with a purple crystal shard he formed in his hand.

The merged subspace deity let go of the shard and ley Evil Cole's emotions and ambitions corrupt himself.

The shard merged with Evil Cole's body and became a part of him. The evidence of Poly-Tabuu's work was successful when Evil Cole's eyes turned purple.

"Yes, I WILL be the ONLY Cole McGrath that mattered!" the now corrupted Evil Cole arrogantly exclaimed, letting his anger take more control over him.

Poly-Tabuu chuckled at his handy work. "But first things first. You see that robot," Poly-Tabuu motioned towards the beaten R.O.B.

"He's hiding valuable information I need. Perhaps you can 'convince' him to tell him what I need to know."

Evil Cole smirked before raising his hand and now sparked purple electricity.

"Sure I can make the robot talk,"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with the Smashers and All-Stars in the Facility

"Wow, if it wasn't for Master Hand placing a power in this universe, that if anyone does take too much damage or an attack that would kill them they would turn into trophies instead, you guys would've been killed or forever trapped in subspace," Cole outstandingly said after listening to the Smashers story.

"Wait," Snake said out-loud to make himself known.

"Before I came here, I challenged Tabuu as a giant crystal head. I was losing so I fled from that battle and I ended up in the Smash Universe where I helped the Smashers fight him again as a code man."

"Other than him impossibly changing in different forms in a short period of time, his motives were different. As a giant crystal head, he wanted a blood-bath of people fighting for his power, but as a codec man, he wanted to spread subspace in every universe."

"Those are two different plans from the same person," Snake said all his observations, which made everyone begin to think.

"I can answer that,"

Everyone heard a quiet but firm little voice, they all looked where the voice was coming from and they found Young Link sitting up from his hospital bed.

"Hey buddy, are feeling alright?" Link tenderly said from his seat near his younger self.

"I'm fine," the young Hylian shamefully said, he can't face his older self but faced the other fighters who were looking at him.

"After the Smashers defeated Tabuu the first time, he was weak and was trying to survive in the outer world of the Smash dimension. He happened to stumble upon me, Pichu, Roy, Dr. Mario and Mewtwo and tried to persuade us joining his side to take over every universe. That convinced Mewtwo to join his side,"

This caused the Smashers to talk amongst themselves in shock.

"What?! I can't believe he joined so willingly!" Zelda said in disbelief.

Young Link looked down in sadness "It gets worse, when we refused to join, Mewtwo used his Psychic abilities to control all of us into joining Tabuu."

If the Smashers were shocked before, they were appalled that Mewtwo did such an act.

"I can't believe he did that! I knew Mewtwo had a history being evil before, but I though he changed!" Peach exclaimed gob-smacked.

Young Link decided to continue with his story.

"Tabuu absorbed some of Roy, Dr. Mario, Pichu's and my energy source and reopened a portal to subspace. I might've been under Mewtwo's psychic control, but my consciousness was still able to see and hear."

"I've learnt that subspace is a parallel world connected to a universe. In order to destroy subspace you need to destroy the universe connecting to it."

Young Link paused in order to let the Smashers and All-Stars understand that information he's given before continuing again.

"We found another wormhole in subspace and went down in it and we found a broken, giant, purple, crystal head and his name was Polygon-Man and he was wounded from your battle." Young Link explained, looking at the All-Stars

Tabuu and Polygon-Man talked for a while before Polygon-Man shot five crystal shards at me and the other Smashers so we'll be under his control and then Polygon-Man and Tabuu fused together, becoming Poly-Tabuu." The young Hylian finished.

"So they were two different beings before they fused as one? That makes a lot more sense now," A faint voice spoke.

All the fighters looked to see Master Hand slightly hovering above his beds.

"Master Hand-a are you-a feeling alright-a?" Luigi asked in concern.

"I'm fine Luigi, but there's something you all need to know," Mater Hand tried to cut to the chase.

"While fighting 'Poly'-Tabuu, I felt a power familiar to me, I think that power belongs to me,"

"What-a are talking about? Tabuu is-a his own person with-a his own powers?" A confused Mario stepped close to Master Hand.

"I wasn't talking Tabuu, I meant Polygon-Man," corrected the giant hand.

"How can-a Polygon-Man have your-a powers? He's-a from-a different dimension?!" Mario was very confused on where Master Hand was leading this conversation.

"Think about our first tournament. What did you have to do before challenging me?" Questioned the giant hand.

Mario thought for a while remembering the first tournament.

"Well-a, we competed against each other, than-a we had to complete-a few target smash-a, then before-a we faced you, we…"

Mario paused in shock, realising what Master Hand is trying to imply.

"WAIT! Are-a telling us…"

"Yes, Mario," Master Hand interrupted.

"Polygon-Man is indeed the polygons from the first tournament,"
