Tikal The Echidna

Tikal

Tikal is a main protagonist in Super Smash Bros. Crossover. She is one of the last members of the Echidna tribe and is (in Super Smash Bros. Crossover only) a childhood friend of Master Hand and Crazy Hand, and previously became the second person to willingly assume the identities of Wiseman and Mag Mel. But when she discovered the truth about what Mechtavius Destroyer would do to her, she escaped from him and hid safely in Smash City. She can have the ability to use Pyrus powers after being taught by Drago.

History

In Season 9, Tikal explained to Mr. Game & Watch and R.O.B. that the Heroes of Legend were destined to exist and surpass Master Hand and Crazy Hand as the rulers of the Smash World. In Season 21, Tikal brings the Heroes of Legend into the past to reveal the truth behind the Smash Core. Tikal is later killed by Yami Bakura when she refuses to move out of the way of the Echidna tribe during their attempt to claim the Chaos Emeralds for themeselves, though her spirit lives on due to being linked to the Smash Core. Tikal is later revived in Season 23 when the Heroes of Legend and The Offspring of Zorc escape from Wiseman's clutches, and to ensure that Master Hand and Crazy Hand never escape the seal, she becomes the vessel for their malicious spirits.

Descent to Darkness

Despite having a pure heart, Tikal is soon corrupted by the malevolent Hands, and transforms into Dark Tikal. However, it is revealed that Tikal was merely a vessel for Master Hand and Crazy Hand to use so they could revive the rogue Mechtogan and merge with Wiseman. However, the atrocities she commited while corrupted broke Tikal mentally, causing her to get possessed by Wiseman. Tikal's spirit is later ejected from her former body and is swallowed by Fabia Sheen. Later, Tikal is forced to wield the Infinity Sword, and is overwhelmed by its corruptive influence. However, it is revealed that Tikal was leeched by the creepypastas, and was being used as the vessel for Vampire Captain America's spirit.

Becoming the 2nd Wiseman and 2nd Mag Mel

After being released, Betadron asks Tikal to put on Wiseman's helmet to stop the ressurected Vampire Avengers. Still corrupted by the Infinity Sword and remembering how the creepypasta fogged up her memory and worked with the Vampire Avengers to drain her energy so they can escape, Tikal abandons her former beliefs and friends and sells her soul to Coredegon, becoming the second Wiseman. Tikal later arrives to help Yamcha combat the Dark Heroes of Legend for her own reasons. When the Pecking Order reveal their connection to BEN as creepypastas, Tikal gives Yamcha an orb that will heal the heroes, and stays behind with Mag Mel to seal the creepypastas away permanently and succeeds at the cost of Barodius' life, who passes his Mag Mel identity to Tikal. Later, Tikal battles against the Dark Heroes of Legend, but is unable to defeat them due to their sync with the creepypastas. However, Chaos reminds her of how she saved the Chao from going extinct at the hands of her father and the other Echidnas. This causes Tikal to become conflicted, as the creepypastas caused her so much pain, but her path of vengeance is causing her to become like her father. However, Coredegon (in his Wiseman form) shows up and puts Wiseman's helmet on her, trying to strip her of her free will. However, Tikal is soon freed by an enraged Chaos, who is angered at Coredegon treating Tikal like a slave. Tikal later willingly becomes Wiseman once again at the insistence of the Nonets in order to regain her lost soul from Mechtavius Destroyer. However it is revealed that Evolved Razenoid had possessed Tikal so he can revive himself, but Tikal is liberated when Evolved Razenoid has no more use for her.

Merging with Chaos and Order To Defeat The Brawlers

Following the villains' mental breakdown and incarceration, Metal Sonic began to wonder who the current Wiseman really was, suspecting Tikal projected the one that fought alongside them. Eventually, Metal Sonic obtained a microchip, which was Tikal's diary. While Metal Sonic didn't read the whole thing, he learned a shocking truth. Tikal was never corrupted by Master Hand and Crazy Hand at all, and she had gone rogue ever since she became the vessel of Master Hand and Crazy Hand, and it is also revealed that Tikal fell in love with Master Hand, and she sought to create a body for her "masters". When Metal Sonic reveals this to the Dark Heroes of Legend, Tikal and Wiseman show up to confirm it, shocking the Dark Heroes of Legend. Tikal nearly kills the Dark Heroes of Legend, but is sealed within the Master Emerald by Knuckles the Echidna along with Perfect Chaos (who went into a rampage after Tikal hurt the Chao that came with him). However, Mechtavius Destroyer (who Tikal swallowed before being sealed) broke out of the Master Emerald and as a result, Tikal and Chaos fused into a new being known as Tikhaos. Mechtavius Destroyer later tells TIkahos that the Bakugan Battle Brawlers are harming Angel Island and are stealing all the resources and orders Tikahos along with Master Hand and Crazy Hand to defeat the Bakugan which defeating them will earn her echidna tribe back.

While fighting the brawlers ask Tikahos why she is attacking them, where she responds that the Mechtavius Destroyer had explained that they are harming Angel Island and must stop them leaving the brawlers confused. Drago suddenly realizes that Mechtavius Destroyer might be coming up to something, Drago came up with an idea which the brawlers can defeat her and have Drago enter her mind to discover out the truth. The brawlers were able to defeat Tikahos as well Master Hand and Crazy Hand which also caused her to split back to Tikal and Chaos. Drago entered her mind had suddenly discovered the truth, Mechtavius Destroyer is only decieving her and is wanting to kill her. Drago warns Tikal about what will happen to her with Tikal shocked. She asks how she can escape from him safely from him. Dan Kuso came up with an idea and stated that will she be safe in the Smash City. Tikal agrees with Dan's option and the brawlers safely took Tikal along with Chaos, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand to Smash Crazy to Smash City without getting killed by Mechtavius Destroyer.
