The immense blue light from the spear pillar continued to shoot up periodically, causing the mountain to crumble little by little each time. The ten fighters knew it was time to move on once again.
But what was left out there to run to?
"What is left out here to run to?" asked one of the fighters.
Olimar perked up at once.
"I know just the place!" he said excitedly. He motioned them all towards his ship which was conveniently parked nearby. After they all filed in, he plopped down into the captain's seat and prepared for takeoff.
"Next stop... Distant Planet!" he grinned at the group as the ship blasted off into space.
Olimar gazed into the stars wistfully. After all the fighting, all the paranoia, he finally had a moment of peace; at home in his captain's seat.
That peace was short-lived as he heard the cockpit door shut behind him. Olimar refused to turn around, but instead continued to stare into space.
"You've come to kill me, haven't you?" he asked, nonplussed.
The only response he got was the sound of a blade being unsheathed.
"Well, I hope you brought friends." Olimar continued, before giving a sharp whistle. Suddenly, the walls began to come alive as several pikmin came crawling out. Olimar whipped out of his seat and joined the pikmin as they tried to disarm the attacker.
The attacker effortlessly sliced through the pikmin like butter, each of them giving off tiny, shrill screams as they got decapitated one by one.
Olimar froze in shock for a moment, a tear falling down his cheek as he surveyed the carnage of his beloved companions. His face then turned red with anger as he charged at the murderer.
Without breaking a sweat, the killer held their hand out and firmly pressed down on Olimar's head. The tiny man, try as he might, was utterly enable to even reach the pikmin killer. They then yawned before effortlessly picking up Olimar and chucking him out the cockpit window.
Olimar tried to remain calm, hoping he'd somehow drift to a nearby planet and live to tell the tale. Unfortunately for him, his trajectory sent him straight towards his ship's engines. He could do nothing but watch as he helplessly floated toward the flame, before instantly burning alive.
The captain-less ship slowly floated away as it drifted towards an unknown destination.

As Olimar's spaceship continued to drift aimlessly through space, the nine people inside were quickly developing cabin fever. As they all began to air their grievances with one another, Brian quickly shot up to the top of most of their shitlists.
"##lynch Brian for now" said Vic.
"ur ugly rih" Nofo reasoned.
"sure" Curtis added.
"##lynch brian So I don't forget but will be around for a bit longer." Farlig chimed in.
Faced with such staunch and adamant opposition, Brian was simply left with no choice.
"well, i tried to help" Brian gulped as he slowly backed his way towards the cockpit.
"please keep what i said in mind moving forward" he said before he swan-dived out the broken cockpit window. Several people tried to reach out for him to spare him from such a gruesome fate, but it was far too late.
Brian looked back at the group, full of sadness and pain, as he began to helplessly float away; all the while his body began to steadily expand like a water balloon in the vacuum of space.
Seconds later, Brian had puffed up to the size of a small car; before long his skin could take no more and burst at once. The fighters quickly closed the door to the cockpit as all of Brian's blood and guts came streaming in through the broken window.

With that gruesome incident in the rearview mirror, the group decided it was time to grant Zersch the final smash once more.
He wound back to punch it, ready to harness its energy once more. He closed his eyes and swung...but was met with nothing but air. When he opened his eyes back up, he noticed the ball was gone completely.
A mystery player has received their Final Smash.
As vexing as that situation was, the group still had a golden hammer and a barrel to claim. Without any competition, Zersch claimed the giant hammer.
The barrel, however, was left by its lonesome. Its contents would forever remain a mystery as it flickered out of existence.
Zersch has received the Golden Hammer
No one claimed the Barrel [Mystery]
Night 10 has begun. The night will end at 7 EST tomorrow (about 22.5 hours from now).
