Chapter Text

There are many spirits of both heroes and villains that often clash in their own universes. Whether it be for glory, love, peace, or money, these are talented, powerful, and amazing individuals who have done everything to obtain their own happy ending. And yet, a benevolent being deity who decided to test the strengthen of both heroes and villains together for the biggest, most epic, and grand adventure of all times. This deity dubbed this “Super Smash Brothers” and then created a letter wrapped in a white envelope with a red seal. The deity sent the letters off and then began to create the legendary world of Subspace Emissary.

The letters descended upon the first fighters the deity had chosen. Though, some were skeptical while others were eager. The letter contained all the details they would need to reach the Subspace Emissary and the mansion they would be staying at for a while.

“I didn’t expect you to receive a letter, Pika” a young lady said as she held the invitation in her hands.

She has a straw hat on and wore a simple yellow dress. Her yellow eyes were reading the invitation over and over as they were walking along a path. She has purple boots and a belt holding her Pokémon. Though, she left her Pikachu, Chuchu, with Crys to balance out her team since she would be taking care of Pika. She’s carrying a bag for clothes and her fishing rod as well. Unfortunately, Pika’s trainer, Red, couldn’t make it to the event. Since he was taking his role as champion more seriously, he decided to let Yellow take Pika to this event. Yellow wasn’t sure what this event was about, but she wasn’t going to hinder Pika’s chances of attending. Then, the two of them stopped at a mansion.

“I believe this is it” Yellow said as she looked up from the letter and envelope to a giant white mansion, “I am starting to question what event you were asked to attend, Pika”

Yellow then sighed as she knocked on the door of the mansion. The doors opened to reveal a giant living room! She trembled a bit before stepping into the room with Pika walking beside her. There were others hanging around the living room, but she soon heard a familiar laugh.

“Ohohoh! Is that you, Yellow?” the cheeky, female voice asked as Yellow turned to the left to see Green coming towards her!

Green is a friend of hers from Kanto as well. The two of them are the region of Kanto in the Pokémon world. Green is wearing a white hat with a red mark to form the pokeball symbol. She is wearing a green dress with a red skirt and white shoes with blue socks. She also has a yellow bag hanging from her shoulder. Though, she looked mischievous.

“Hi Green. Did you get an invitation too?” Yellow asked as she held out her invitation to her.

“Yes! Well, Ririri was invited! Since I am her trainer, I decided to come as well!” Green answered with a smile of her own.

Yellow couldn’t help but feel like Green was up to something.

Ah, that’s right. Yellow and Green both saved Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn together on multiple occasions. Yellow is one of the few born with special gifts from the Viridian Forest, so she can heal, read the minds of Pokémon, and has little bit of telekinesis. As such, Yellow is dubbed the Healer among the group of Pokedex Holders. While Pika isn’t her trainer, Red trusts her to partner up with him. Pika has been a part of a lot of tough battles and is a talented fighter too.

As for Green, she’s known as the Evolver and a big sister figure to Silver. She did cause some kind of mischief when she was younger, but she’s mellowed out a bit and works for the International Police from time to time. She is skilled at evolving Pokémon. Although her Ririri would’ve been the Pokémon to appear, she’s evolved into a Wigglytuff, so Green was asked to use Ririri, her new Ririripuff.

“Do you know what this tournament is about?” Yellow asked nervously, “I hope the fighting won’t be too violent”

Green smirked at her little friend before shaking her head as they walked to the kitchen. The kitchen is massive and has every appliance a fighter needs to make themselves any meal they desired. The kitchen is mainly white with some wooden tables and chairs around. Green went to the fridge to get a few apples for themselves.

“So, why are you here? I thought Red would do something like this” Green asked curiously.

“That’s what I was thinking as well, but Red wanted to take his role as Champion more seriously. So, he asked me to come here instead” Yellow explained.

“Ah, make sense. Blue is doing the same thing as well and even helping his grandfather with his research. Well, then we just have to do our best and represent our world!” Green said determinedly as Yellow sighed internally.

“So, who else is here?” Yellow asked curiously.

“Don’t know. I did hear some people talking” Green answered as she ate an apple with an explosion going off outside!

Yellow and Pika rushed outside as Green walked behind them. Yellow gasped as Pika cheered at the site before them. A battlefield was before them along with two fighters locked in an intense fight!

“Who are they?” Yellow asked surprised as Pika looked eager to fight and jumped off Yellow’s hat, “No! Wait a minute! I don’t think it is your turn yet!”

Pika struggled in her hold before zapping her! Yellow let out a pained yell before collapsing on the ground. Pika looked worried as Green looked at her friend and then at the fight.

“Oh? Those two? They’ve been going at it for a while” Green said unamused, “They won’t even take a break!”

Yellow sat up with Pika on her lap. She noticed a metal panel and stood up to look at the screen to see who the two fighters were.

One is Mario. A famous hero from the Mushroom Kingdom and older brother to Luigi. Mario has saved Princess Peach more times than anyone can count as well as met many different friends along the way! He can cast fire, use F.L.U.D.D and has a powerful cap on his head.

“Well, one is an interesting fighter” Yellow said as Pika looked over her shoulder to read the fighter’s info.

She then looked at the other fighter.

The second one is Link, the Hero of Time. Though, this one is from an era where the hero had to sleep for a hundred years and then came back to save the Princess Zelda of his time with the help of the Spirits of the Four Champions. He is skilled with a bow, sword, a Sheikah slate, and even knows how to cook!

“So, they’ve been fighting for how long?” Yellow asked.

“Ever since they got here. You can see the timer on there, right?” Green said as she pointed to it.

Yellow and Pika read it to discover that they’ve been fighting for almost an hour!

“Won’t they get tired?” Yellow asked with concern.

“I don’t know. Doesn’t seem like it. Ugh! I want a turn! I didn’t just come here for nothing! You better let us fight next round!” Green shouted loudly at them.

The two of them stopped fighting and turned their attention to them. Green was surprised to see them stop fighting.

“Uh, ok? I honestly didn’t think this would work. So, hi! I’m Green the Evolver. This is Yellow the Healer. The two of us were sort of invited, but really, our Pokémon were invited” Green explained as Yellow held out Pika to them while Green tossed out Ririri, “So, you don’t mind if we give it a shoot?”

Both agreed by nodding their heads. The two young ladies were surprised to them easily give up their fight so easily.

“Uh, thanks” Yellow said warmly as Pika rushed to the stage.

“Oh! What stage should we pick!” Green asked excitedly as Yellow looked at the control panel.

There were many stages to choose from as well as options to include extra help, healing items, fighting items, and others, but there were three buttons that read “under construction”. Yellow was curious about the three upcoming features as Green cheered at something.

“You can even pick the music here too!” she exclaimed as she then swiped her finger over the control panel to see if she could find a stage for them to use, “Oh! Let’s play a stage from home! I really like how Saffron City looks!”

Green tapped the icon as the stage changed to the roofs of Saffron City and with a few Pokémon floats. There was a Ririripuff float, but the stage was mostly the roof of the Silph Co. Pika and Ririri were soon on top of the roofs as Yellow tilted her head. What were they supposed to do now?

“Should we shout a command?” Yellow asked Green who was too busy with picking the music track for the stage.

Yellow looked up at them as both Pokémon were oddly quiet and didn’t know what to do. That is until Pika launched himself to tackle Ririri! Yellow gasped as Green snapped her head up and gasped.

“Hey! I wasn’t ready yet!” Green snapped at Yellow.

She waved her hands as she quickly explained that she didn’t say an attack.

“Of course, you didn’t. The electric mouse did” a lady wearing an orange armor said as she marched towards the two of them, “You two are not fighting. They are. Those who received this invitation are the only ones who are allowed to fight”

To some degree, Yellow was relieved, but she was also worried. That means Piak will be fighting powerful opponents. Could he handle it on his own?

“Hey! How do you know so much about this?” Green asked with her hands on her hips as she also held her Pokedex, “I can shout out a command to Ririri! Ririri, use Pound!”

Green then turned to the screen as she expected to see Ririri using “Pound” on Pika. However, Ririri used “Sing” and tried to put Pika to sleep. Though, Pika easily jumped back as Ririri was still singing. Then, Pika charged himself up and then rammed his entire body to knock Ririri away and out of the fight!

“No! Ririri!” Green exclaimed in a wail as Yellow searched for the defeated Ririripuff.

“See? You’re not the one fighting. Ririri is” the lady answered in a stern tone as Green puffed up her cheeks and scowled at her.

Yellow decided to step in and stop them from arguing with each other.

“Let’s get along, please” she said in a hesitant manner. We have no reason to fight each other. Thank you for telling us. My name is Yellow, and I am looking after Pika for Red. This is Green. She’s Ririri’s trainer”

She hoped the lady before them wouldn’t be too mad. She seemed to calm down a bit as she composed herself.

“My name is Samus. I am a bounty hunter for the Galactic Federation. I fly around the galaxy to make sure it is safe from any space pirates and Ridley” Samus answered as Yellow was horrified and Green was in delight.

Samus is one of the best bounty hunters for the Galactic Federations. After Ridley killed her parents, she worked hard and became a bounty hunter who fights any space pirates. She has both her armor and her zero suit armor as well. She is also one of the best pilots here.

“Oh, you’re a tough girl! I like you!” Green said in delight before the announcer announced the match was over.

The three girls turned to the stage to see Pika as the victor and Ririri clapping like a good sport. Green sighed as Pika jumped back to Yellow. Green sighed in defeat as she went to pick up Ririri while Samus eyed Pika.

“I’ve never met a creature like this one. Mind if he and I spar for a bit?” she asked curiously as Pika stood on Yellow’s head and punched his little fists.

“Oh, ok” Yellow said as she saw how fired up Pika was.

Samus put on her helmet and then marched onto the stage as she said, “Green can pick the stage”

Green grumbled, but she happily picked the stage as Pika faced Samus. Yellow wasn’t sure, but she had a feeling that Samus was just little lonely and needed some friends. Yellow grinned as she decided to befriend Samus while Green picked another Pokémon themed stage in hopes of Pika wining. As for Mario and Link, they returned to the mansion to relax.

“Mario!” a brotherly voice shouted in delight as Mario turned to see his little brother, Luigi, coming towards him with a green dinosaur behind him.

Luigi is Mario’s younger brother, but Luigi is a hero himself. He saved Mario before along with the Mushroom Kingdom too. Luigi owns a mansion and often takes care of ghosts more than Bowser troops. Luigi is a bit of a coward, but when push comes to shove, Luigi is there to help. He also has a soft spot for Daisy.

“Yoshi! (Mario, did your match with Link go well?)” the green dinosaur exclaimed warmly.

And this little dinosaur is Yoshi! Yoshi found the two Jump Brothers and looked after them. Yoshi and his whole race promised to look after the brothers and ensure that they are safe and looked after. He uses his longue tongue to fight as well as his ability to float through the air. He also eats his fighters and turns them into eggs.

Luigi asked about his big brother’s match against the Hero of Time. Mario reassured his little brother that the match was fun, and that Link was a worthy opponent. The three of them looked around in the mansion. Link had left for his room for some privacy while Samus, Green, and Yellow were fighting at a stage. There was no one else here. That is until something crashed through mansion’s entrance! The trio rushed to the entrance to see two vehicles broken apart.

“Yoshi! (Is everyone ok?)” Yoshi asked with worry.

“Haha! We are fine!” a friendly, older man’s voice shouted as he jumped out of the broken ship.

“He was just reckless and threw us both off” another voice said in a serious tone, “But, yes, we are both fine. Simple repairs can be done to fix our respective vehicles”

The other pilot was an anthropomorphic fox who was wearing specific outfit for space travel.

This is Fox McCloud. He is the leader of the Star Fox team and goes on many missions to protect the galaxy from intergalactic threats. Although, he is self-centered, he is against Andross. Though, he wants to get a lot of money for the jobs he takes. He is cockier and has the best team to handle any situation.

“Come on, it wasn’t that bad, Fox!” the other man said in a delightful manner, “I’m Captain Falcon! The two of us received this invitation to this tournament!”

Captain Falcon is one of the best bounty hunters from the Internova Police Force. He is now a famous racer and lives in Port Town. Each island has a different racetrack that can allow him to train his racing skills. Each time he wins, he returns to his islands. His vehicle is called the Blue Falcon.

“And now, this is going to cost me a fortune in repairs!” Fox snapped at him.

Soon, the two of them began to argue with each other until Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi heard a familiar, friendly yell.

“Ook, ook! (Mario! It is good to see you!)” a giant gorilla with a red tie which held his initials shouted as he jumped through the broken wall and hugged Mario tightly.

And this is Donkey Kong. He lives in the jungle with his friends who fought with King K. Rool to protect their banana hoard. He is the grandson of Cranky Kong and is a stubborn gorilla and has a love for banana. Although he and Mario were enemies, they are pretty good friends.

Mario just nodded his head as he let Donkey Kong give him a strong, hug. As Link finished making himself a meal, he saw the last three fighters enter the mansion.

“I am sure this is the right place” a gentle, kind voice said as he led them into mansion.

A young man walked into mansion as he adjusted his crown. He has blue hair and is wearing a blue outfit with cape. He has brown boots and black gloves. He has a slim figure and a scabbard holding a powerful, legendary blade.

This is King Marth. He has a strong sense of justice. He loves his kingdom and subjects dearly and strives to protect them. He is married to Caeda and fought against Gharnef and used the Seal to stop him and his plans. Marth wields the powerful blade, Falchion which has the ability to slay dragons and heal him.

“Thank you, Marth” a young boy said in relief, “I wasn’t sure where this place is. I’m grateful that I bump into you”

This young boy is Ness. He has powerful PSI abilities and lives in the town Onett. He befriends Paula and Poo as well as Jeff. He and his friends work together to defeat Giygas as well as the evil thoughts lurking in his mind. He loves baseball, rocking music, and steaks too!

He adjusted his red cap and his yellow backpack. He wore a yellow and blue stripped shirt and blue shorts. He has black hair and eyes as he carried in a pink, puffy creature.

And this final fighter is Kirby. He can float, inhale anything, and copy anyone’s abilities. He lives in Planet Popstar and in a dome shaped house in Dream Land. He has a positive attitude and saved Dream Land time and time again. He loves to eat and is very cheerful.

The three of them stopped to see the destruction in the front of the mansion. Marth sighed at the site as Kirby hopped from Ness’s arms and observes the damages.

“Puyo!” Kirby exclaimed happily as the fighters turned their attention to the pink ball and smiled.

With that, the fighters were finally together and ready to enjoy this tournament. A tournament that would change everyone’s lives and impact the many worlds that will collide with each other.

Chapter Text

The creator of the tournament wanted to be fair. After all, it is not every day a being of ultimate power is able to bring in many heroes to clash in a fun tournament. The being also invited the best villains to it. Outside of the mansion and a bit of distance away, stood two figures.

“So, this is the fight we were invited to. I’ve been told that this version of Link isn’t the one I’ve fought before. This should make things interesting. Don’t you agree, Bowser?” a dark voice asked as he turned to his partner who was watching from a distance too.

“I don’t know, but the Mario I usually fight is still here along with his brother, the gorilla, the lizard, and the princess I want so bad! This time, I’ll crush him! Then, I’ll finally get Peach to myself, Ganondorf!” Bowser roared back to him.

Bowser is the king of a the Koopas and other villain creatures in the Mushroom Kingdom. He’s even the father to his own son. Bowser has fought Mario more times than anyone can count! He’s also kidnapped Princess Peach more times than anyone can count. Bowser fights with fire and incredible strength! He can even make himself bigger and scarier!

The Koopa King has his spiky shell on his back and his fluffy red hair. His emerald eyes shined with determination as he slowly marched towards the mansion with every intent on beating Mario.

Next to him is Ganondorf. He holds the Triforce of Power and is from a different timeline than the Link in the story. He is from the era where time could branch off in three different eras depending on how his Link wins. Though, Ganondorf is still very powerful. He wields a sword, has superior strength, and has the ability to transform into his true form.

The Pig King has dark skin and is wearing traditional, warrior Gerudo armor. He has red hair and strong boots and has his sword in his scabbard. His red cape flowing behind him as he pondered his plan to bring Link down along with the other heroic fighters from different worlds.

Although the being was unaware of their true intentions, the being still had every intention of carrying out the event. The heroes had gathered in the living room and were trying to get to know each other until the doors to the mansion opened to reveal the two villains. Mario was tense as Link grabbed the hilt of the Master Sword on his back.

“Who are they?” Yellow whispered to Green and Samus.

“From their reaction, I can tell they aren’t friendly. I believe that those two are what we should consider as villains or enemies” Samus answered as Green and Yellow remained alert.

Ganondorf was the first to speak when his gaze fell on Link, “Ah, the Hero of Time. Nice to see you again. Did you save Hyrule?”

Link growled as Mario held his fists up against Bowser.

“Ah! Mario! Are you here to actually fight me? Ha! It won’t be a fight!” Bowser mocked as he chuckled at the red plumber.

They glared at each other until Yellow and Pika stepped between them.

“Hang on! We were all given an invitation to come here and fight in the tournament! We are not fighting inside the house!” Yellow said as bravely as she could with Pika sparking a few times.

Mario sighed and nodded his head. He shook his head and stepped out to Bowser. Then, Mario held out his hand to Bowser with a genuine smile on his face. Bowser was surprised along with Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Everyone else waited as Bowser even raised a brow at Mario’s gesture. Though, the Koopa King turned away and used his tail to snap Mario’s hand away! Yellow jumped away as Pika lunged to shock the Koopa. Though, Yellow was able to grab the electric mouse before he shocked the Koopa. However, she wasn’t fast enough to let the mouse go, because he ended up shocking her!

“Ah!” Yellow screamed as she let go of the mouse and stumbled a bit, “Wow, Pika. You’re just as strong as ever”

She then fainted as Green rushed to help her friend. Pika jumped to the trainer with worry too.

“Typical of heroes” Ganondorf said as Link kept his eyes on him, “Always carrying and willing to do whatever you deem is right. I’ll never understand those notions when that kindness wasn’t given to everyone. Think about that, heroes”

Ganondorf turned away from them and decided to retire to his chambers for the night. Bowser followed him with a laugh while the heroes were tense.

“Are you sure we shouldn’t do something about this?” Green asked seriously, “If they are villains you’ve faced before, shouldn’t we keep a closer eye on them or something?”

She turned to Mario and Link who shared a look themselves. Link then put the Master Sword away as Mario turned away from the location where Bowser and Ganondorf had walked to. After that, the rest of the evening was quiet. Though, Green and Samus were still tending to Yellow to make sure she was fine. They didn’t leave the living room while Pika and Ririri were playing together.

“Seriously, can’t we do anything?” Green said with her face in her hands and puffed up cheeks.

“We shouldn’t do anything without asking them” Samus said as she finished checking up on Yellow, “Those are not our villains. We should talk to Mario and Link before doing anything rash”

Green disagreed while Yellow yawned. She could tell Green would want to do something about this, but for now, they would just have to wait.

“Hey! Girlie!” Fox shouted as he and Cap. Falcon were fixing up their respective vehicles, “Don’t start fights you can’t win or would cause nothing but trouble. It doesn’t help anyone. If anything, he makes things more complicated than it needs to be”

Green turned and pouted at him before Marth said calmly, “I agree with Miss Samus. We don’t want to make more enemies and start a fight when there is no need to”

Yellow and Pika turned to the Hero King who seemed to be the only voice of reason among them.

“”Miss?” Reaally? Just Samus for me” Samus said as she looked over Cap. Falcon’s shoulder to see how he was fixing up his ship, “Why are you doing that? It would be better if you reroute it”

Cap. Falcon jumped at her words before turning to her. He was surprised she gave him an input on his vehicle. He took a step back and handed her the wrench. She blinked at him, shrugged, and then went to work on his car. She was able to fix it up and give it a boost, much to the captain’s surprise. As for Yellow, she smelled something amazing coming from the kitchen. She and Pink went to it to find Link cooking something!

“Oh! You can cook?!” Ness asked surprised as he gazed at the food Link was preparing.

Link lowered his bowl to show Ness that he was preparing spaghetti. Ness’s eyes were wide as he rushed to the other cabinet to pull out some spices and sauces. Now, it was Link’s turn to be amazed and nodded his head as the two of them went to work to cook something. Yellow then went to the fridge to take out some frozen meatballs and bread to cook.

“Let’s make a wonderful feast for everyone!” Yellow suggested warmly to them with Pika holding a mixing spoon in his hands.

“Puyo!” Kirby shouted in agreement while having a chef hat on along with a knife in his hand.

Thus, the five of them went to make a wonderful meal for the Fighters. This left Green along on the couch with Ririri. She sighed until Luigi, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong running around and trying to do something to entertain themselves.

“Perhaps we should do something to stop them from possibly destroying the mansion we will be resting at” Marth suggested to Green who raised a brow at him.

“And why don’t you try something?” Green asked as she caught him off guard, “Haha! Has kingy here not done anything to rally his friends? Relax! We are all friends here! Or, we should be! Alright, I’ve got the perfect idea! Fox, Falcon! Don’t fix the wall! I’ve got a great idea! Come, Ririri!”

She marched right outside with Marth behind her. She then whispered something to Ririri. The Ririripuff then skipped forward and before Ririri took in a big deep breath. She puffed up and made herself into a giant! Ririri then laid down. Donkey Kong, Luigi, and Yoshi stared at them as Green jumped on Ririri’s stomach! She bounced around as everyone was surprised!

“Come on! This can tire you out and relax you!” Green said with a wink as she bounced off Ririri.

Donkey Kong and Yoshi jumped on Ririri’s stomach first as Luigi rushed to get Mario to join in on the fun. Green stood aside with a grin as Marth was surprised. He didn’t see this coming.

“Relax, king” Green said with a grin, “I’m used to this. After all, I teamed up with a few rough houses from here and there”

Luigi and Mario soon ran down the stairs to join in on the warm feast. Though, Ganondorf and Bowser watched from afar. They weren’t uninvited, but they could’ve joined if they wanted.

“Typical heroes” Ganondorf said with a shake of his head, “Perhaps this is a chance for us to make our point”

Bowser turned to him as he turned away from the heroes. They walked through the hallways with darkness growing around them. Ganondorf and Bowser walked outside of mansion and found the panel storing all the stages, music, and info.

“How powerful do you believe this console to be?” Ganondorf asked with interest in his voice as he gazed at it.

Bowser wasn’t sure as Ganondorf observed it.

“Well, let’s test how powerful this console is along with the deity who summoned us!” Ganondorf said as he held his sword and charged up attack.

With all his might, he swung the sword down on the console to destroy it! Suddenly, the entire area began to distort as places were changing!

“What is happening?” Yellow asked nervously as she finished preparing the bread to see the kitchen disappearing.

Link quickly pulled the Healer away as the fighters slowly backed together. They were standing in a circle as everything was changing around them!

“Who did this?!” Ness exclaimed as he latched himself onto Captain Falcon’s leg.

They heard a roar and crackle as the heroes turned to see Ganondorf and Bowser standing over a ruined console!

“Don’t tell me that thing was actually important?” Green asked worriedly as she held Ririri close to her.

“Bowser!” Mario exclaimed as the Koopa King and Geurdo King turned to the heroes.

They could tell from the heroes’ expressions that they demanded some kind of answer.

“This isn’t fair” Ganondorf spoke first as he pointed his sword at Link, “Too many heroes and few villains. Or rather, individuals with malicious intent. We want this to be fair, so let’s make it fair by summoning anyone to our fight!”

Everyone was tense as they heard another voice.

“What have you done?!” the voice exclaimed in a worried manner, “This is supposed to be a fun tournament! Why did you do this?!”

No one knew the source of the voice, but they could confirm something about it: it was young and male. The voice soon let out a cry as everything violently shook! The world cracked around them as Bowser fell through while Ganondorf was pulled away! The heroes tried to hang onto each other until they were pulled apart from each other and fell into different worlds and sections! The heroes prepared themselves for impact as they crashed in different places while hearing the young child’s voice cry out in sadness and despair.

“What happened?” Marth asked in a groggy voice as he blinked a couple of times.

He found himself staring at the sky with the sun up. He moved his left hand in front of his eyes to block the sun and sat up. He realized he was in a forest and not at the mansion, but he was also with Link, who was still asleep. Marth closed his eyes as he tried to remember what had transpired a few moments ago. That’s right, Bowser and Ganondorf did something to upset the being that had brought them all together. It confused Marth as to why the two villains wanted to do something like this, but he knew he should help Link first before doing anything else. Marth turned to Link and found the Hero of Time fast asleep and laying on his back. Marth checked himself first to see if he could use anything on him. He sighed when he realized he only had his clothes and Falchion on him. Well, he was going to have to try something else. He stood up and looked around the forest to find something to wake the Hero of Time.

“Perhaps I need to simply shout to wake him” Marth said as he took a breath in and cupped his hands around his mouth, “WAKE UP, LINK!”

The Hero of Time woke up with wide eyes and drew the Master Sword right at Marth’s neck! The Hero King swiftly drew his sword and aimed it at Link’s neck. They froze as they slowly realized who they were about to fight. They waited for a moment until both put their swords away.

“It is good to see you awake, Link” Marth said in relief as he offered his hand to Link.

Link glanced at the king before turning his head away while looking at the forest. Marth sighed as he tried to understand the Hero of Time. Link searched the area and tried to figure out where they are and what they should do next. Link is already furious at himself for letting Ganondorf get away with this, and Link doesn’t want another one-hundred-year event.

“Link, please. We have to work together on this. We don’t know where everyone else is” Marth said as he followed the Hero of Time.

Link glanced at the king and then continued to walk forward, much to Marth’s annoyance. He had to get Link to listen to him or at least think of a plan. Well, if Link wasn’t going to listen to words, then he can listen to a duel. Marth drew Falchion and swung his blade to strike Link who ducked, rolled, and raised his shield to block Marth’s strike. Link growled as he faced the Hero King. Link picked himself up and threw his boomerang at him! Marth gasped as he raised Falchion to block the boomerang.

“Link! Please listen to me!” Marth shouted as he pointed Falchion at him, “We need a plan. I know you’ve done things by yourself, but we can’t do this alone. We have to work together”

Link remained quiet before putting boomerang away. He then marched up to the Hero King and remained quiet, as if he was listening for a plan. Marth blinked a couple of times before gasping and putting his sword away.

“Right, well, since we were forcefully separated from everyone and the mansion, it stands to reason that we should make our way back to it. Everyone will probably do the same thing as well” Marth reasoned as Link nodded his head, “So, the only issue is we have no idea on how to get there”

Marth scratched the back of his head as Link tapped his chin. Marth had a point. They had no idea where the mansion could be. Link caught a whiff of something and carefully placed his hand on the hilt of the Master Sword while searching for the source of the smell. Marth took note of Link’s change in nature and decided to play along.

“After all, we don’t know where everyone else is” Marth spoke in a louder manner, “I don’t know anyone else out here who could help us”

Link raised a brow at Marth’s statements until the strong scent of smoke was coming closer to them.

“Ha!” a young voice shouted as someone young jumped from the bushes with a flaming sword behind him!

Marth and Link jumped away from the person as he slammed his sword on the ground to burn the grass away. Marth looked at the young person before them and felt some kind of connection with him. This young man was wearing a purple cape with a matching purple bandana. He wore blue armor with white pads. He has long gray boots with white pads and held a flaming sword in his hands. Link prepared to fight him as he held the Master Sword in front of himself. Then, without hesitation, Link charged forward and clashed his sword against the young man’s. Marth wanted to speak with the young man, but he was too busy fighting with Link. Link gasped as the sword caught fire and jumped away.

“I won’t lose to you” he said as he gripped the sword and pointed it right at Link, “I’ll do everything I can to stop you!”

With another yell, he charged forward. Link put the Master Sword away as an idea formed in his head. He held a slate in his hands as Marth held Falchion, ready to give Link any help he needed. Link then tapped something on the slate as a blue bomb appeared in his hands. Link then threw it as the young man caught it with ease.

“Do you really think that’s going to stop me?” he boasted as Link smirked.

He pressed a button on his slate as the bomb blew up in the young man’s hands! He let out a yell as he was knocked back and hit the ground with a thud. Marth sped to him and took his sword away as Link pointed the Master Sword at him. The young man sighed as he raised his hands in defeat while Marth examined the sword. There was something familiar about it.

“Who are you?” Marth asked seriously as he nodded to Link.

“My name is Roy. I am the son of the Marques of Pherae” Roy answered, “I am here because of a letter I was given”

Link gasped as Marth asked, “Can we please see the letter? Perhaps we can help each other”

Roy simply nodded as he took out a letter from a bag and handed it to them. Marth took the letter and recognized the same seal. He showed it to Link who nodded to him.

“Roy, we also received this letter” Marth explained and recounted the events to him.

This surprised Roy as Marth asked his final question “And finally, this sword, did it receive some kind of power from an item called the Fire Emblem?”

Roy’s eyes were wide as he replied, “Yes, but how do you know about that?!”

Marth held out his sword to him and answered, “My sword also got power from the Fire Emblem as well. I imagine our Fire Emblems, but we both took up arms with our friends to stop an impending darkness from spreading in our respective countries”

“That’s correct. My father was ill and conflict broke out. I had to do something, so I departed from my homeland and went to stop the conflict from spreading” Roy answered as Marth gazed at his fiery eyes.

He knew Roy was not an enemy of theirs. Marth turned to Link who nodded his head in agreement. Marth returned Roy’s sword to him and helped him up.

“Though, it appears that the being who summoned us also summoned others” Marth reasoned as Link nodded his head, “We don’t know who else got invited, but I am sure we will meet them. Perhaps we can work together to find the others and get back to the mansion”

“That sounds like a plan. You must be very smart, Marth!” Roy said warmly as the trio decided to walk along the path.

Just as Roy introduced, he is the son of the Marques of Pharea and inherited his father’s blade, Durnadal. A powerful, flaming blade that has the power to kill dragons. Roy is strong and has a strong sense of justice. He cares about his people and friends. He fought with dragons and kings to restore peace to the land and cares for Lilina deeply.

“I suppose so. I am mainly learning from experiences and friends that have helped me come this far” Marth answered as Roy agreed with a smile of his own while Link reflected on Marth’s words.

As the trio continued down the path, they heard a girl scream. Link ran on ahead with Marth and Roy behind him. Link found creatures of darkness chasing after a young lady in a pink dress. She has a golden crown on her head with long, flowing yellow hair. She has bright blue eyes as she continued to run away from her attackers.

“Link! Who’s under attack?” Marth asked as he caught up with him while Roy was right behind them.

The two of them waited for a moment as the young lady continued to run. Roy didn’t hesitate and jumped right into the fight with Durnadal giving off a blazing light!

“Roy, wait!” Marth shouted as the young lion cut down the creatures of darkness.

The creatures were easily defeated by Roy, so Link shrugged and charged in with the Master Sword. Marth sighed as he drew Falchion. Together, the three of them swung their blades to cut down the creatures before them and saved the young lady.

“That wasn’t too hard!” Roy said with pride as Link agreed.

Marth turned to the young lady to introduce themselves to her. She grinned, twirled her parasol, and blew them a kiss.

“I am Princess Peach!” she introduced warmly as she then took out an invitation, “After Mario and Luigi left, I received this letter. I departed from my castle to participate in this tournament”

Link and Roy were in shock as Marth sighed internally. He took the invitation from her, saw the seal, and read the contents of the letter. It was similar to theirs, so he knew she was telling the truth. He sighed as he showed the letter to Link and Roy as Princess Peach skipped on ahead.

“Oh, let’s go together then! I can’t wait to see Mario and the others!” she said in delight as Marth followed her with Link and Roy catching up to them.

The group departed from the forest and made their way back to the mansion.

And the last member of the group is Princess Peach Toadstool! She is the famous princess from the Mushroom Kingdom who is kidnapped all the time. Though, she doesn’t seem to mind this too much. She floats around and loves to heal others. She does depend on Mario to save her, but she can do things by herself if she wanted too.

Chapter Text

As for the plumber brothers, the two of them crashed into an abandon city with a thud. Mario picked himself up first before helping his little brother. Luigi let out a scream before calming down when he realized they were just in an abandon city. Mario took a step forward and tried to find some sign that he could possibly recognize and find their way back to the mansion. Luigi stretched for a bit and then followed his big brother.

“AHHHH!” Green shouted as she, Ririri, and Kirby were blasted to the other edge of the same abandon city, “Ririri, puff up!”

Her Ririripuff flew behind them and puffed up. She became a big, puffy, fluffy ball and caught her trainer and Kirby. Green sighed in relief as she leaned into her Ririripuff and slide down her once Ririri landed softly on the ground.

“Good catch, Ririri. Are you ok?” Green asked as she hopped off and held her arms out.

Ririri then jumped to her trainer’s arms and cuddled up to her while Kirby hovered before them and then landed in front of them.

“And are you ok, Kirby?” she asked with a smile.

“Puyo! (I’m ok!)” Kirby replied with a bright smile of his own.

“Well, that’s good” Green said before reaching into her yellow bag and pulling out a Pokedex and Pokegear.

She tried to get a signal and reach Yellow, but she had no luck. She sighed and then looked around. The city was empty, but in good condition. Everything was in place, and nothing was out of place. She wasn’t sure what this city is based off nor the location of it.

“Well, we better start moving” Green said as Kirby nodded his head.

The trio headed into the city, unsure and worried about what is to come. Though, Green and Kirby were both confident they could handle anything that comes their way. That is, until the darkness rose around them and took the form of the same creatures!

“What are these things?!” Green shouted as Ririri jumped from her arms and prepared to fight.

Kirby drew his sword and slammed it down on a few as Ririri used “Pound” to punch one away.

“I guess it doesn’t matter. Well, give it you’re all, you two!” Green cheered loudly.

The two of them stood back-to-back as they fought these creatures of darkness. Kirby ate some while Ririri rolled over a few. Green was cheering until a few jumped from behind! She let out a scream as she tried to run away from them.

“Ah! I hate this! I left the rest of my teammates with Silver and Blue! Ah!” Green shouted in an annoyed manner.

“Don’t worry! I’ve got this! Silver wouldn’t forgive me if something happened to his big sister!” a mischievous, obnoxious voice shouted as lightning crashed behind her!

Green covered her head with her hands and waited until the lighting attacks ceased.

“Aw come on! Aren’t you supposed to be my senior? I know Blue wouldn’t hesitate to save you, and Silver will destroy anyone to get to you. You could’ve handled this with your Blastiose” the voice said as he held out his hand to her.

Green looked up and let out a scream of horror, “No! NO! Why are you here?! Out of everyone from our world, why you, Gold of New Bark Town?!”

Gold looked offended and replied, “I’ll have you know, Pibu was invited to this thing! He got a letter and everything!”

Gold held out the invitation to her. Green snatched the letter from him and read it over. She recognized the seal and the contents of the letter. She let out a frustrated yell as Gold shook his head at her.

Pibu is a Pichu that Gold hatched from an egg when and the rest of the Pokedex Holders. Pibu was invited due to using a powerful move during the fight. Though, Gold couldn’t let the baby Pokémon go off on his own, so he went with him. This Pichu is also the son of Pika and Chuchu, Red’s and Yellow’s Pikachus.

Gold wore a red jacket and black pants. He has a cap with goggles and black sneakers. He has a side bag and is holding a pool cue.

“Well, this is a fine situation we have found ourselves in” Gold said as Pibu landed behind his trainer, “Don’t hold anything back. Pibu! Especially if your dad is in the tournament too!”

Pibu let out a cry and then unleashed a powerful electrical attack! Kirby and Ririri floated away from Pibu’s attack as Gold stood in front of Green. Pibu finished off the rest of the creatures of darkness before being dizzy. Gold sighed as he picked up Pibu.

“It looks like the damage recoil is something else in this place” Gold said as he picked up Pibu and checked on him, “Well, he should be ok now. Are you still in shock about us being here?!”

“Yes!” Green shouted as she shoved the letter in his face, “How did you get in when Blue should’ve gotten in?! It doesn’t make any sense!”

Gold moved her hands away as he took the letter back. He growled at her as Kirby, Pibu, and Ririri watched them argue for a little bit until Kirby let out a surprised “puyo” when he saw darkness coming closer to them!

“Puyo! (Stop fighting! The darkness is coming!)” Kirby shouted to the two trainers who were too focused on arguing with each other to notice.

Pibu shook his head and jumped on top of Gold’s head to zap him! He let out a scream as Green took a step back from him. Gold stumbled a bit before grabbing Pibu and shaking him.

“What did you do that for?!” Gold shouted as Pibu pouted at his trainer and pointed to the darkness coming towards them, “Ok, that’s understandable”

“We can’t fight this many. We have to retreat!” Green exclaimed as she grabbed Ririri.

“Are you kidding me? We have to do something!” Gold shouted at his senior until Kirby ran on ahead of them.

Green and Ririri chased after him as Gold and Pibu followed them. They were running through the streets until Kirby knew they couldn’t keep running. They were going to have to fight these things somehow. They just needed a little more help.

“Hiyah!” a young boy’s voice shouted as an arrow pierced through a row of the creatures of darkness!

The group stopped and were surprised to see this as Kirby and Pibu charged back to the fight! The source of the young boy’s voice came from a young boy who was wearing a green tunic and holding a bow and arrow.

“A child was invited to this?!” Green exclaimed in utter disbelief as Ririri jumped from her arms and went to the fight.

“Didn’t you saw the regions when you were ten?” Gold asked as he swung his pool cue to knock one creature back.

“I was eleven! Shut up!” Green shouted as Ririri puffed up and used “Pound” on another creature of darkness.

The group was able to work together and defeat the last few creatures of darkness before relaxing. 

“Alright, so who is this child?” Green asked in a pant, “He looks like Emerald”

“That’s not Em!” Gold snapped at her as the two of them were arguing with each other while Kirby, Pibu, and Ririri marched up to him.

Kirby and Ririri introduced themselves as Pibu rushed to his trainer to take the letter and showed it to the young boy. The young boy gasped and took out the same letter to show them. Both trainers stopped arguing once they saw it.

“Well, it looks like he is a fighter!” Gold said as he swung his pool cue behind his neck with hands dangling from it, “Nice to meetcha! I’m Gold the Hatcher! This is Pibu!”

The young boy nodded his head as he searched for something in his bags. He then took out a note pad and began to write something on it. He then held it up to them to read what he wrote. Green and Gold looked at it to see his name was “Link”. Gold grinned while Green was just confused.

“How is there another version of you?! Also, weren’t you wearing a blue tunic and had way more stuff on you?!” Green exclaimed as she gestured to him.

“You’ve met someone like him before?” Gold asked curiously and truly wondering if his senior had lost it.

“Yes! Right Kirby? Ririri?!” Green said as she turned to the two pink, puffy balls.

They nodded their heads as Link before them wasn’t sure how to explain this. He then realized something and opened the letter and handed them the letter. Gold took it and examined it.

“Oh, he’s a Link. He’s just from another time period” Gold said as Green’s jaw dropped.

“What?” she asked in disbelief.

“Yeah. Says here he’s from a timeline where he defeated Ganondorf as a kid and stopped the moon from crashing into his world” Gold said as he handed her the note.

Green read it while trying to process this while Kirby, Ririri, and Pibu were talking with him.

For the sake of argument, we will call him Young Link. After all, we have Link from Breath of the Wild and another Link coming our way. It makes sense to just call him Young Link for now. Just like Gold said, Young Link defeated Ganondorf when he time traveled to being an adult. Then, he went back in time to live out his life and find Navi. He encountered Majora and fought with him to prevent the moon from falling. I think we all know why he is here.

“You’re kidding me?!” Green exclaimed as she looked over the note.

Gold laughed as the group carried on through the abandoned city.

Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi were trying to find anyone who could help them get back to the mansion or find their new friends. So far, they haven’t found anyone. Luigi sighed as they continued to walk through the city, but he wondered about when they will find a place to rest and sleep. He was tired from everything that happened. However, Mario was more determined to find someone to help them.

“Hiyah!” a strong voice shouted as both brothers shared a look before Mario ran towards it.

“MARIO!” Luigi shouted as he ran after his older brother.

Mario stopped when he found a ninja fighting some creatures of darkness surrounding him. Mario was impressed. The ninja was able to kick and punch any creature coming his way. He was also able to through smoke grenades and bombs to defeat them. Luigi was running after his big brother and didn’t bother to look at where he was going and crashed into him! The two brothers were rolling on the ground until they hit the wall of an abandoned office building. The ninja and the creatures of darkness turned their attention to the two brothers. Mario and Luigi groaned in pain before helping each other up. They checked to make sure the other wasn’t hurt before realizing the creatures of darkness were surrounding them!

“Are you ok?” the ninja asked as he backflipped forward and landed in front of them, “It is not safe here. I suggest you run and hide”

Now that Mario got a good look at him, he saw the blue gi the ninja was wearing had a red eye covering his chest. He wore a white head scarf over his face and a scarf to cover his mouth. He has red eyes and blonde hair. He looked very worried about them. Mario shook his head as he pulled out F.L.U.D.D. and used it to make the creatures of darkness slip and fall! Luigi then rammed his head towards a few others. The two of them gave each other a thumbs up and smiled to the ninja. It was his turn to be impressed with the brothers.

“Alright then. Let’s work together and make quick work of these creatures” he said with a grin, “I’m Sheik by the way. Who are you?”

“Mario!” Mario introduced with a happy jump.

“Luigi!” Luigi introduced with a grin.

Sheik is a Sheikiah warrior who is from the same tribe as Impa. He is an ally of Link and helped him throughout his adventures. He is very agile and strong as well as using bombs and smoke grenades to fight. He enjoys playing the harp in his spare time and cares about the safety of others.

Mario and Luigi ran forward and tossed fire balls towards some creatures. Luigi then tripped a bit as he waved his hands around to punch a few creatures. As for Mario, he skillfully punched one creature and then grabbed another one to spin it around and then let it go to crash into another one. Sheik then disappeared in smoke as he then reappeared above the creatures and threw his bombs below them. Then, he dived towards a few to cut down any creatures in his path.

“There are too many. We should retreat and recover” Sheik advised the brothers.

Mario and Luigi nodded to him as they slowly stood closer to him. Sheik then took out a few smoke grenades and threw it on the ground. Smoke covered them as the creatures surrounded and jumped at them. However, they didn’t find the fighters at all! They were gone! Though, in truth, they were really inside the abandoned office building. Luigi collapsed to the floor as he sighed while Mario and Sheik were looking through the broken window at the creatures. The creatures fled from the scene and away from the building.

“That was close. Is everyone alright?” Sheik asked as he turned to the brothers.

Both brothers gave him a thumbs up and smile.

“What a relief” Sheik said with a grin before turning his attention outside.

He tried to make sense of this situation he found himself in. He never expected that letter to take him to a place like this. Though, he was grateful to meet two wonderful, strangely colored friends. He has to figure out what is happening and how to resolve it before the danger spreads.

“Mario!” Luigi shouted as he turned his attention to a pair of twins running around the city without a care in the world.

Sheik nodded his head as he disappeared in smoke and reappeared before the twins. The twins stopped in their tracks and held their hammers.

“Please, we don’t wish to fight” Sheik reassured them as he took out his invitation, “Did you receive an invitation like this?”

The two of them jumped at the letter before holding out their own. Sheik was surprised to see the invitation in their hands, but he nodded his head. Mario and Luigi jumped down from the building and joined them. Mario was surprised to see the letter while Luigi was gasping and screaming in shock.

“Well, it appears we are all friends” Sheik reassured them, “I am Sheik. These two are Mario and Luigi. Who are you?”

“Popo!” the blue ice climber said as he raised his hammer.

“Nana!” the pink ice climber shouted as she summoned ice in her hands.

These pair of twins are the Ice Climbers. They climb mountains and work together on their expeditions. Nana often controls ice while Popo is pretty good with his hammer. Although Nana gets tired easily, Popo will continue to fight and move forward for the both of them.

With that, Sheik looked at the sky. The sun was still in the sky, but it felt as though the whole day had passed.

“Perhaps we should find a place to rest before attempting anything” Sheik suggested to them.

Mario and Luigi agreed as the Ice Climbers followed him. They walked through the damaged city, but they soon found themselves meeting a few familiar faces. Kirby, Ririri, and Green stopped in their tracks once they saw Mario and Luigi!

“Mario! Luigi!” Green shouted as Kirby and Ririri went to hug them.

Their friends ran towards them as Young Link rushed up to Sheik. Sheik kneeled before the young hero with a smile on his face. It felt good to see a familiar friend. Gold and Pibu walked up to the Ice Climbers and simply chatted with them, so they wouldn’t feel left out.

“It looks like we both found some friends. Though, we have no idea how to get back to the mansion. Do you two have any idea how to?” Green asked them as both brothers pondered on this.

They weren’t sure either until Kirby got their attentions by waving his letter around.

“Do you have an idea, Kirby?” Gold asked as he took out the letter Pibu received.

Kirby nodded his head as Gold kneeled before the puffy, pink creature and opened the letter. Gold looked at the contents of the letter before it began to shine! He let got of the letter and sat away from it. The letter then hovered in the air as a bright light burst from it and flew away!

“Is that going to led us to this mansion you guys keep talking about?” Gold asked as he looked up at it with Pibu sitting on his head.

“After it!” Green shouted as they rushed after the flying letter.

However, once they reached the outskirts of the city, they found a giant creature of darkness before them!

“You have got to be kidding me!” Green shouted in annoyed tone with her hands in her hair, “Seriously, what is this thing?! We already fought tiny versions of this thing! How many more are there?!’

“Green, I wouldn’t worry too much” Gold said with a confident expression, “We’ve fought worse before and can handle this without any issue. Let’s do this together! Right, everyone?”

The rest agreed as they charged towards the giant dark creature. Mario and Luigi jumped in the air and then drew their fists back. They punched it back as Ririri floated towards it and then used the move “Rest” to stun it and unleash a lot of damage! Then, the Ririripuff woke up and began to sing to put it to sleep.

“Gold! You’re up!” Green shouted as Gold smirked and recalled Pibu back to his pokeball.

He placed the pokeball on the ground and then fired the pokeball towards the creature. Pibu popped out as electricity sparked around him. Then, he unleashed it all to stun on the creature! Pibu then felt very dizzy as he fell backwards. Gold quickly rushed towards his Pibu and caught him in relief.

“Ice Climbers! You’ve got this!” Gold shouted with a wink.

The Ice Climbers rushed towards the creature and then waved their hands to use their ice to freeze the creature in place. That left Sheik and Young Link to finish it off. Sheik was first. He ran along the creature’s body and drew his kunai to cut it up a few times. Then, Sheik landed on the ground as he nodded to Young Link. Young Link held his sword as light gathered around it. He let out a yell as he jumped and raised his sword above his head. He brought the sword down to cut it in one strike. Young Link landed on the ground and sighed in relief. His new friends were cheering as a smile formed on his face. He put his sword away and turned to them. He was pleased to see them celebrating their victory and joined with them.

“Puyo! (The letter!)” Kirby shouted as he pointed to it flying away.

“Well, we can’t sit around here. After it!” Gold shouted as he, Pibu, and Young Link ran on ahead.

Green used Ririri to float after them and allowed the Ice Climbers to join her. Kirby floated after them as well.  Mario, Luigi, and Sheik happily walked after them and towards their destination, the mansion.

Chapter Text

“Ah!” Yellow and Ness shouted as they were blasted out of the mansion.

Yellow held onto Pika, but her hat was blown away in the process. Ness then grabbed onto her and used his powers to slowly levitate themselves onto the ground. Then, they hit the ground and had a moment to catch their breath.

“That was something I really didn’t expect” Yellow confessed as Ness and Pika nodded their heads at her, “Is everyone ok? I can heal you”

She saw a cut on Ness’s arm and prepared to use her powers when Pika shook his head with worry.

“Is there something wrong?” Ness asked as Pika looked worried for Yellow.

“Well, when I use my powers too much, I tend to fall asleep” Yellow explained, “But I have gotten better at using my powers. I am sure I won’t fall asleep now”

She then hovered her hand over Ness’s injury and healed it. Ness gasped in awe as Yellow grinned. She then looked at their situation and noticed they were in a jungle.

“Well, this is a place I’ve never been too” Yellow confessed as Pika jumped to her shoulder to sit on, “Well, let’s get moving. We should be able to find our friends”

“Ok” Ness said as they walked ahead together.

As for Yellow’s hat, it was blown away with Donkey Kong who managed to grab Yoshi before he was tossed away in the explosion at the mansion. Donkey Kong was able to land on the ground with a loud thud while holding Yoshi and the hat over his head. Once Donkey Kong made sure the cost was clear, he gently placed Yoshi on the ground.

“Yoshi, Yoshi (Thank you for saving me, Donkey Kong. That was quite a blast. Do you know where we are? And where the others are?)” Yoshi asked the gorilla curiously.

Donkey Kong looked around for a moment, unsure of where they were. This wasn’t a jungle he knew nor explored with his crew. He looked at the hat as Yoshi sighed. They were lost and separated from their friends. They had no idea how to get back nor what to do about it.

“Yoshi, Yoshi… (I hope Mario and Luigi are ok. I know they are grown up, but I still worry about them)” Yoshi said with worry.

Donkey Kong nodded his head in agreement until he saw a giant tree in the distance.

“Oak oak (Yoshim why don’t we go to the tree? We will get a better view of everything. We might find our way back to the mansion)” Donkey Kong said as he pointed to it.

“Yoshi! Yoshi! (Wonderful idea, Donkey Kong! Let’s go!)” Yoshi exclaimed in relief as they marched right towards the giant tree.

Of course, for Ness, Pika, and Yellow, they weren’t sure which way they were going. They continued to walk forward for a while longer until all three of them sat down in a tired manner.

“Ok, we can’t just wonder like this. We clearly need a better plan than this” Ness said as Yellow nodded her head in agreement.

Though, she wasn’t sure what to do. She looked at Pika who climbed up a tree and then stood at the top of it.

“Do you see anything, Pika?” Yellow asked as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

Then, Pika returned with a few bananas! Ness and Yellow were surprised, but Ness took one for himself and gladly ate one.

“Good job, Pika!” Yellow said in relief as she had one for herself.

Pika then climbed back up the tree to take one for himself. The three of them ate together and rested for a moment.

“Ok, now that we’ve had on filling, what should we do next?” Yellow asked them.

Pika wasn’t sure while Ness asked, “Maybe I can use my power and see if someone comes to us”

Yellow and Pika looked at him curiously. Ness held his hand out as ice, lightning, and fire burst from him. They were shocked as they took a careful step back from him.

“If I can send a powerful light to the sky, someone will surely see it. From there, hopefully someone can see it and come here” Ness suggested.

“That sounds like a good idea. Go for it, Ness” Yellow encouraged as Pika yelled in agreement.

Ness then stood up and raised his hands upward to create a bolt of lightning. The lightning shined brightly in the sky, alerting their potential allies, but also their enemies. Those creatures of darkness from the previous chapter saw the lightning bolt and were making their way towards them!

“So, how long do you think anyone saw that?” Yellow asked curiously.

Ness simply shrugged until those same creatures of darkness jumped out from the shadows and appeared around them.

“That wasn’t my attention!” Ness exclaimed as he cast ice towards one.

“I know, but we don’t have a choice anymore. Pika, fight with everything you have!” Yellow shouted as Pika jumped into the fight.

Pika jumped to the sky, let out a cry, and made lighting crash down on him and his foes. Then, his tail shined a silver color as he swung himself around to strike the incoming creatures of darkness. Then, a few creatures tried to jump the electric mouse from behind, but Ness raised his hands.

“PK Freeze!” Ness shouted as he cast a powerful icy blast towards it.

Ice coated the enemies as Ness ran towards it with his yo-yo in hand. He swung his yo-yo around to strike his enemies. Yellow was impressed with them. They were still able to fight together despite their recent, unexpected send off. Though, she wondered where these monsters were coming from. As far as she knew, these monsters weren’t at the mansion.

“Incoming!” a beautiful voice shouted as she let out another yell.

Yellow ducked as a pink and white figure jumped from the behind and kicked one creature of darkness. She landed on the ground and then dusted herself a bit. She then waved her hands as she cast a powerful fire ball towards a group of it. She raised her hands as the ball fire exploded to take it out!

“Are you ok?” she asked in friendly tone until the ground shook a bit.

A giant version of the monster stood before them as they were surprised.

“I’m sure we can handle this one” the new girl said with a confident expression on her face, “But we will need to think this through. Is it possible for one of you to distract it while I think of a plan?”

Pika, Yellow, and Ness glanced at each other until Yellow looked at her. She carefully used her powers to read her mind. She didn’t sense anything dangerous from her, but the girl simply smiled. That is until the creature let out a roar and marched right towards them! They didn’t have time to react except for the girl. She quickly spun around as she created a beautiful, clear diamond to protect themselves from the creature.

“Ok, that’s not what I had in mind” she said in a strained voice, “We need to take this creature out! I can’t hold it forever!”

Yellow, Pika, and Ness nodded to each other. Yellow picked up Pika and threw him up to the sky as Ness charged up electricity and launched himself towards the creature.

“PK Thunder!” he shouted as he propelled himself towards the creature and headbutted it with lightning!

The creature took a step back as Ness backflipped away.

“PK Fire!” he shouted as he launched a powerful fire towards it.

The girl was able to step back and catch her breath. Yellow was able to help her up and slowly use her powers to give her a bit of strength. Pika then descended towards the monster and used “Quick Attack” to sped himself towards the monster quicker. Lightning gathered around him as he let out another yell. Pika landed on the ground before them with the lightning still gathering around him.

“Do you have an idea?” Yellow asked her curiously.

“I believe so. We need it to focus on someone before one of us unleashes a powerful attack. Maybe multiple powerful attacks should work” she said as she stood on her own without Yellow’s assistance.

Ness and Pika nodded to her as Yellow took a step back. The three fighters ran towards the creature and prepared to fight him with everything they had. Pika was first. Using all the electricity he had stored up, he launched himself headfirst towards the creature. He was able to headbutt it and then let out another cry as lightning crashed on the creature and even paralyzed him! Pika then fell backwards and into Yellow’s arms.

“PK Thunder!” Ness yelled as he jumped high in the air and pointed his fingers at the creature.

He unleashed a powerful strike of thunder down on the already paralyzed monster. Then, the girl rushed toward as darkness coated her hands. The creature slowly stood up and prepared to fight back as a knight in dark armor slowly began to form at her side. She waved her hand towards the creature as the knight was fully formed and unleashed a powerful strike from his sword of darkness. The single strike was enough to deliver the final blow on the creature! The creature let out a wail as it vanished in darkness. The girl sighed in relief as she sat down.

“I know understand how hard it is to have courage. Is this what he felt whenever he had to face a powerful opponent?” she whispered to herself and then turned to the group who were relieved to see that creature defeated.

The girl composed herself before turning her attention to them fully. No one was hurt, but she was sure they were exhausted. They would need to find a place to rest and recover before moving through the jungle.

“I don’t believe we got your name” Yellow said warmly as she approached the girl and introduced herself, Pika, and Ness to her.

The girl gave a curtsy and introduced with a smile, “I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. I am the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom. I was given this invitation to this event. I departed from my castle as I soon as I could”

She held out her invitation to them as Ness took it to read it.

This is Princess Zelda! She is from the timeline where the Hero is defeated by Ganondorf. Though, this princess is a fighter, much like the princess in the Twilight era. She is close to the other side of Hyrule known as Lorule. She uses magic and her spells to fight her opponents as well as her wisdom too.

“Nice to meet you, your highness” Yellow said warmly.

Princess Zelda smiled back at them as she then began to think of a way for them to traverse through the jungle and finding a suitable place to rest. She wasn’t sure where they should rest. Yellow noticed the princess’s worries and looked at the jungle. Although it wasn’t quite like the forest she was used to in Kanto.

“Let’s move forward” Yellow encouraged as she walked on ahead.

As they were taking a few more steps forward, they found an interesting site before themselves. It appears that the blast not only combined places together and brought other fighters into this, but specific buildings were also transported into this world. They found themselves standing before a doctor’s clinic. Yellow and Pika weren’t sure about this while Ness and Princess Zelda hesitantly walked forward and opened the doors. It was a simple medical clinic.

“Hello?” Ness called as Yellow and Pika entered the clinic.

“Yahoo!” a familiar voice shouted as Mario stepped out and was wearing a doctor’s uniform.

“Mario!” Yellow and Ness shouted in relief as Mario looked confused.

“It is so good to see you again” Yellow said in relief until Ness noticed something about this Mario.

He pulled Yellow’s hand as he said, “I don’t think this Mario knows us”

This surprised her as the Mario before them nodded his head. He then looked at the fighters and noticed their tired expressions. He then understood something about them and opened the draws of his clinic’s cabinet to take out a letter. He showed them the letter as they finally understood. This Mario is different from the one they know and was also invited to the tournament.

“Ah, that explains it” Ness said in relief, “He’s a fighter, but he’s also not our Mario”

“That means whatever being pulled us here, also gathered their locations as well” Princess Zelda reasoned, “Well, this place should be ideal of us to rest at until we are ready to get back out there. Would you be fine with us resting here?”

He nodded his head as Yellow pointed out, “But what should we call you? We know a Mario, but you’re not the Mario we know”

The doctor nodded his head as he gestured to his doctorate licenses hanging on the wall.

“Well, that would make sense. One has a medical degree while the other doesn’t” Princess Zelda said as she stretched her arms and relaxed by sitting on the benches.

Dr. Mario is a Mario, but he has an actual doctorate. He owns his own clinic at the Mushroom Kingdom and is a very good doctor. He uses his medical skills to not only heal but to fight as well. He is very friendly and can take care of any wound and injury. Though, he uses pills to fight than fire balls.

Ness followed her as Yellow wondered if they could somehow alert anyone else about this place. Pika noticed Yellow’s curiosity, but he also noticed her tiredness. Pika then pushed her to a bench and urged her to rest. Yellow was surprised, but she nodded her head in an understanding tone. She then closed her eyes and began to sleep.

“That girl is pretty special, isn’t she?” Princess Zelda asked as she noticed Ness had fallen asleep as well.

Pika nodded his head as Princess Zelda confessed, “I don’t believe I’ve met anyone quite like her either. Well, you and her want to find the others, right? Let’s go to the roof. I am sure we can do something like that”

Pika jumped to her shoulder as they walked to the roof and could see the entire jungle. Princess Zelda got an idea as she then held Pika in her hands.

“Ok, I throw you in the air. Use your lightning at me” she said calmly while Pika seemed worried, “Don’t worry, I won’t get hurt. I’ll be just fine. Promise!”

The princess gave the electric mouse a warm, toothy smile before throwing him in the air! Pika then unleashed a powerful “Thunder” towards her as she created a barrier around herself.

The lightning burst from the mouse and struck her barrier. Instead of hurting her, she was able to use the lightning and scatter the lightning to every corner of the jungle! Though, they could see the lightning, they could also hear it too!

“Yoshi! Yoshi! (Donkey Kong, look! That lighting!)” Yoshi exclaimed as he pointed to it.

They looked up and saw the lightning scattering around.

“Oak, oak, oak. (We should head over there then. I think Pika is there)” Donkey Kong replied as they marched towards the source of the lightning.

Though, as they were walking towards it, more of those dark creatures were following them. As they were walking through the jungle, they soon saw a wave of darkness wash over them and then appear all around them! The two of them stood back-to-back as they saw the creatures. Yoshi jumped in the air and ran on it as Donkey Kong raised his strong fists and then pounded the ground to cause the creatures to trip and fall. Donkey Kong then rammed his entire body towards a few while Yoshi swung his tongue to stick onto one and use it to knock down the others. The two of them were able to handle their own very well, but they noticed more and more coming. They were going to get overwhelmed sooner or later. Donkey Kong then picked up Yoshi and jumped over it! Donkey Kong ran through the jungle as Yoshi was shouting at him. Donkey Kong kept running until they reached the edge of a cliff! They couldn’t just jump because they couldn’t see the bottom of it. Donkey Kong put Yoshi down as the creatures were in front of them. They would have to fight their way through this somehow.

“Mewtwo, Psychic!” a calm, wise voice shouted as a purple light covered the creatures, “If anyone is there, please pound away these Primids!”

Although Yoshi wasn’t too sure about this, Donkey Kong let out a hearty yell and then swung his fists at the frozen Primids. Yoshi sighed and then decided to help his friend. They were able to make quick work of the Primids and found themselves faced with an old man holding a cane and a creature that was white and purple.

“Yoshi, yoshi! (Thank you for saving us! We would’ve been in deep trouble if you didn’t come along!)” Yoshi said in relief as he then introduced himself to them.

The old man had a white mustache and wore black glasses. He had a brown hat on and wore a white vest with red collared shirt. He wore gray pants and black shoes. He glanced to the creature next to him who nodded his head.

“Ah, no worries. We were trying to find the mansion when we found ourselves in this jungle. I’m Blaine, the gym leader of Cinnabar Island as well as a scientist” he introduced as he took his hat off to bow, “And this is Mewtwo. Truth be told, it was Mewtwo who received the letter to this event. I was asked to accompany him”

Blaine took out the letter to show the two of them. They were relieved and delighted to see this.

Mewtwo is a powerful, psychic Pokémon. He was created from the DNA of the mythical Pokémon, Mew. Team Rocket wanted to use Mewtwo for their own selfish needs, but Red, Yellow, and Blaine were able to help Mewtwo. Now, Mewtwo protects Pokémon who are hurt or afraid as well as fights anyone who threatens the peace of their world.

“Well, we should get going before anymore of those Primids catch us” Blaine said as he held his cane and pointed towards the source of the lightning, “I believe we have a common friend there, so let’s not keep them waiting”

And so, they were able to make their way towards the source of the lightning and were surprised to see a doctor’s clinic there. They entered, and Donkey Kong and Yoshi were relieved to see Ness, Pika, and Yellow. They were happily reunited with their friends and were able to catch a break. Both groups traded stories and rested together.

“Well, I’m grateful to see Pika isn’t alone. Without Red, I fear this little mouse would be handful for society” Blaine joked as Pika scowled at the gym leader.

Yellow grinned at Mewtwo as she said, “I’m grateful to see the both of you. We could definitely use your help. We have to find the mansion and get back there to help our friends”

Princess Zelda asked seriously, “You called those creatures of darkness Primids, correct? Where did you find this out?”

“Oh! Mewtwo did. As we were making our way through the jungle, we encountered some. Mewtwo was able to handle himself just fine, but he was able to read their minds and find out a few things” Blaine answered, “Such as their name, their abilities, and powers. They are flimsy, but they can form into one giant being. They come from the darkness which is created whenever someone is feeling fear, anxiety, sadness, anger, and other negative emotions”

The fighters were surprised as they understood why the Primids were now attacking them. Then, Blaine realized something.

“Ah, if you want to return to the mansion, correct?” Blaine asked them, “Perhaps Mewtwo could do something. He can look into one of your memories and possibly use it to teleport us to the mansion. How does that sound?”

Everyone was relieved and excited as well as thankful. Pika then jumped forward and held his head up high.

“Well, at least we don’t have to pick a volunteer. Mewtwo, use your powers when you are ready!” Blaine encouraged as Mewtwo hovered his paw over Pika’s head.

Using his powers, he was able to find a memory of the mansion. Mewtwo opened his eyes and nodded to both Blaine and Yellow. Then, a blue light covered everyone as they were floating in the air.

“What is happening?!” Princess Zelda asked as Dr. Mario was trying to hold onto something.

“Mewtwo found the mansion. He can take us there” Blaine answered, “Is everyone ready?”

Everyone nodded and held their determination expressions as Mewtwo teleported them back to the mansion using the move “Teleport”. They vanished in a blue light and soon appeared not too far from it. For some reason, Mewtwo couldn’t teleport them at the mansion. Regardless, they returned and faced the mansion. Now, they just had to wait for the others.

Chapter Text

            “Argh!” Samus shouted as she, Fox, and Captain Falcon were tossed out of the mansion.

“C’mon!” Captain Falcon said as he snapped his fingers and made his ship appear underneath them.

The pilot seats were open as Captain Falcon dove to the driver’s seat while Fox pushed Samus to the copilot’s seat. He landed outside of the ship and held on tight to it.

“Fox!” Samus shouted as he shook his head.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I don’t need a spacesuit to breath out here” Fox reassured them, “Now fly!”

Captain Falcon nodded his head as he pushed the gas pedal and drove forward. Samus took off her helmet and helped him pilot their ship. They were trying to keep it stable and find someplace safe for them to land and think about their next plan. They were able to stabilize the aircraft and then calm themselves down.

“Is everyone ok?” Captain Falcon asked as Samus and Fox nodded their heads at him.

“I think so” Fox said from the outside, “You two ok?”

“Yeah. So, are we ready to think of a plan?” Samus asked as she looked at her two friends.

They were shaken up a bit, but they were able to recover quickly. Though, they couldn’t let Fox in, so he sat outside of the ship. They were pretty lucky only the ones who were used to space were blasted here. None of them could begin to imagine how the others would react to being in space.

“We should see if a station is nearby. Can your ship track anything nearby?” Fox asked as Captain Falcon typed something in his control panel.

“Do you honestly think there is anything out here?” Samus asked as she looked at the screen.

“Hey, at least I am trying to find something. Hey, let me ask you two something. That console, did you find it weird?” Fox asked seriously as he crossed his legs and tapped the glass.

Captain Falcon and Samus were surprised by Fox’s claim. Captain Falcon crossed his arms over his chest as he pondered on Fox’s words while Samus recalled the console. It was powerful, that was for sure. It could summon the stages from their homes, play familiar melodies they’ve heard, create certain rules, and many other features she didn’t get a chance to observe. She knew Fox was trying to figure something else out.

“I don’t believe a device like that should’ve be left unguarded when those two scumbags arrived” Fox said, “Now, I’m not tech genius and I definitely wouldn’t get magic, but that console, is something different. Something very powerful. Whoever held this tournament and gathered us here, clearly knew what they were doing and how to do it too”

Samus could agree with Fox’s claims as Captain Falcon listened intently to their conversation.

“All I am saying is that the console has a power, this being has a power, and I wouldn’t be surprised if anything resembling our homelands was nearby” Fox reasoned as Samus nodded her head in agreement.

“Very well, let’s see if we can find anyone here to help us” Samus said as she then took control over the panels and broadened their search for anyone.

They waited for a few minutes and decided to simply gaze at the stars in the sky to pass the time. They finally got a signal and location!

“A station is out here” Samus said as Captain Falcon took control of his ship and flew them towards it.

The station was vast and appeared to be a little beaten up. The lights were flickering on and off as well as a few obvious damaging areas were present. Captain Falcon carefully landed his ship as Fox hopped off. Then, Samus put on her helmet and joined him.

“Does anyone know anything about this station?” Fox asked as he held his blaster.

The group was cautious as they tried to comprehend the situation they were in. An empty station is never a good sign as far as Samus is concerned. They entered a hanger bay which made Fox worried.

“Falco’s here?!” Fox shouted as he checked the Arwing before them.

He jumped into the cockpit of the plane and searched for any sign of his friend.

“Who?” Captain Falcon asked curiously.

“My copilot. He was supposed to be watching over the team until I returned. I hope nothing dangerous is happening. That idiot bird” Fox said as he checked the mission log.

Samus and Captain Falcon jumped onto the ship and looked over Fox’s shoulders to see the mission log. It displayed a blue bird in a pilot’s outfit talking with a robot. More robots like the one the blue bird was talking to appeared and helped with the ship.

“He got the ship repaired” Samus said surprised.

“But that doesn’t explain why he isn’t here along with those robots” Captain Falcon said as Fox sighed in a frustrated manner.

“That’s where the log ends! That stupid bird! What did he do?!” Fox shouted as he jumped out of the ship and rushed into the station.

Samus cursed under her breath as she and Captain Falcon rushed after him. They ran deeper and deeper into the station, but the lights were flickering on and off and breaking. Samus and Captain Falcon shared a concerned look until they found themselves in the center of the station, the power core. Though, there was something else wrong about this station.

“What is this?” Fox asked confused as they looked up at the power core.

“Why is it cold?” Samus asked concerned as she marched towards it to examine it properly.

They checked the panel, but they also found it frozen! Captain Falcon lit up his fist and hovered it over the panel to melt it. Samus then turned the panel on as it slowly booted up and revealed the log to them. The log displayed Falco helping the same robots escaping from something. One of the robots rushed to the control and forceful shut down the power core.

“What were they running from?” Captain Falcon asked worriedly until the entire station began to shake.

They slowly turned around to see the lights flickering on and off. They remained on guard as they waited. Samus was thinking about the reasons for making this station turned into a frozen fridge in space. The station was shaking as the ice was slowly melting away.

“It’s coming closer!” Fox shouted as the lights were turning off and on.

The lights shut down as Samus realized something about their situation. The reason for keeping the station cold was to prevent that horrible creature from approaching them! The trio stood around in a circle as the lights suddenly lit up and revealed a terrible, dragon like being.

“WHAT IS THAT THING?!” Fox shouted as Samus froze for a moment.

The Primids were pouring from him as he roared loudly.

“RUN!” Samus shouted as they ran out of the power core room and down the hallway.

“What is that thing?!” Fox shouted as he ran on ahead of them.

“Ridley!” Samus shouted, “He is my enemy. He always comes back to fight me!”

“How do we fight back?” Captain Falcon asked.

Samus was thinking about that detail as they noticed the whole station coming to life. They escaped into a hallway as Samus blasted the controls to the door to forcefully close it. They were able to catch their breath as they looked at her. She was trying to figure out how to stop her enemy.

“Seriously, what the heck is that thing?!” Fox shouted as he turned to her.

“A space pirate. He killed my family and terrorized my galaxy” Samus answered seriously, “We will have to freeze him here and bring down this station to trap him here”

“We can’t do that without finding my pal!” Fox shouted as he heard his team’s commlink boot up, “Falco? Is that you?!”

Samus and Captain Falcon were surprised to hear this as Fox held his hear to make sure he could hear his best pal.

“Ugh, what the heck was that? Who turned on the station?” the voice replied to the commlink.

“Falco! Report!” Fox shouted seriously.

“What the? Fox?! I thought you were gone already! Did you win that tournament?” Falco asked curiously as a smirk formed oh his beak.

“Something came up. What are you doing out at this part of space?!” Fox shouted annoyed at how calm Falco was about this situation.

“I was patrolling the galaxy, keeping everything in check. I landed here to refuel and check up on my Arwing. Though, as I landed, I got a letter. The same letter you got for that tournament. I was going to ask Peppy and Slippy to take over as I make my way over to the letter’s location” Faalco replied.

Fox was surprised to hear that his best pal was invited to the tournament, but he sort of understood why. He shook his head as Falco groaned.

“What’s wrong?” Fox asked curiously.

“Well, we encountered a strange pterodactyl monster. That thing crashed into the station. I tried to fight the thing off, but it wasn’t good enough which really ticks me off” Falco said, “Though, one of these robots pulled a recording of freezing this thing. We did just that. We froze the entire station and ourselves. Now, I am guessing your turned it on”

Fox turned to Samus who confirmed this.

“Where are you right now?” Fox asked seriously, “We will come and get you. From there, we can figure out a way to put that overdue fossil to the ground!”

“Right, yeah, you’ve got a plan” Falco mocked with a laugh, “Bottom floor. Better hurry. I don’t think I can fight like this nor protect these robots either”

Fox was surprised to hear Falco cared so much about these robots, but he supposed he could figure that out when he gets there. Samus pulled up a map of the station on her suit and located him.

“Follow me” she said as she took the lead.

“Stay put, Falco. We’re coming!” Fox said as they rushed after him.

They ran through the station as it shook from time to time. There was a roar from time to time as the lights were flickering on and off. The station was coming to life slowly, but it wasn’t enough to fully turn the station on. They had to be quick. They found a staircase and jumped down and ran to find a locked door.

“This is it” Samus said as she confirmed with her map.

“Falco! Are you in there?!” Fox shouted seriously as he cupped his hands around his mouth.

“Yeah, yeah! No need to be so loud” Falco snapped back, “I’m not dead! Just recovering my strength! Though, the power has reached the basement. You’re gonna have to beat up the door. Lucky”

Captain Falcon cracked his knuckles and smirked.

“You better stay back. Don’t want you to get hurt” he said with a grin.

Samus pulled Fox behind her as Captain Falcon pulled his fist back with fire bursting from it. The fire burned brighter as he prepared himself.

“FALCON PUNCH!” he shouted with all his might as the fire burst around his hand and punched the door down!

The door was knocked away and struck against the wall. A scorch mark appeared in the center of it with imprint of a fist. Captain Falcon put his hands on his hips as he held a proud expression.

“That was easier than I thought!” he stated with a nod of his head as Samus shook her head.

Fox rushed in and found Falco sitting down against a wall with the robots surrounding him.

Falco is a member of Team Star Fox. He was a rouge pilot who did things on his own. Though, after encountering Fox, he joined his team. Falco is one of the best pilots known around the galaxy. He is quicker than Falco and mush quicker at using his blaster than him. Though, he’s more independent and willing to take more risks than most of his teammates.

“Seriously?! You thought freezing yourself was the best plan” Fox asked with a shake of his head as he checked on Falco.

“It seemed liked a good idea at the time” Falco replied as he rolled his eyes.

As Fox tried to help him up, the robots jumped at him! Fox stepped back and tried to throw a punch, but the robots appeared around Captain Falcon and Samus.

“Wow! Wow! Easy their ROB. He’s my best friend and those two are his friends” Falco said as he defended his best friend and stood up with help from the many ROBs around him.

The robots slowly backed away from them as Falco fell. Fox quickly caught him as Falco sighed.

“This is pathetic of me” he said in annoyance, “Losing my strength and not being able to fight with you. So, what’s the plan here?”

Samus answered, “We need to board a ship and departed from this place. Before that, we have to freeze this place and Ridley in here. We will then drop this station out of orbit”

Falco let out a laugh as he said, “I like you! Man, I wish I was invited to this tournament sooner!”

Samus then explained her plan to them as she looked at the robots.

“Can these things do anything besides fix the ship?” Samus asked seriously as she raised a brow at them.

“They know this station better than anyone and can fix up the ship” Falco reported, “They call themselves ROB”

To us, the reader, ROB was featured as a toy for anyone who purchased a NES. After that, ROB works in many places all over the Nintendo universe. He helps around the Nintendo universe with any kind of task he is presented with. Though, ROBs known how to operate bombsvery easily.

“That can work” Samus said with a nod of her head as she then explained her plan to everyone.

Fox and Falco were all for it, but Captain Falcon found the plan a bit risky and just plain dangerous. Though, they couldn’t think of anything else, so they went with her plan. So, Fox and Falco headed for Captain Falcon’s ship first. Samus and Captain Falcon led the ROBs to a section of the station. Ridley had been flying around the station and searching for the fighters. He was furious to see the same bounty hunter return and possibly defeat him again. He was not going to go down without a fight! He wanted to get rid of her once and for all!

“Are you sure of this plan of yours?” Captain Falcon asked loudly as Samus faced him.

“Of course, I am!” she snapped back as she pointed her blaster at him.

Ridley snickered to himself as he made his way over to them. He flew as quickly as he could and found his archnemesis arguing with someone who is not from her workplace. He dove at them as they jumped away! He let out a roar and then swung his tail. Samus jumped and avoided his strike, but Captain Falcon wasn’t so lucky. He knocked into a wall and away from Samus. She gasped as Ridley let out a chuckle. He roared as she stood her ground. She took off and blasted him to get his attention. Ridley let out another roar and dove right after her.

“Come on, come on!” she urged as she ran through the tiny spaces and jumped through some narrow gaps.

She looked over her shoulder to see Ridley still coming after her. She was relieved by that and hoped her friends were closer to their respective location.

“Well, that’s phase one” Captain Falcon said as he picked himself up from the rubble and stretched a bit.

He didn’t expect that space pirate to hit him so hard, but he also wondered how Samus deals with this. He shook his head and ran the other way to continue the plan. He had to make his way to the lower levels and jump start the freezer. He jumped down to the lower levels and made his way to the station’s heating and cooling feature.

“Well, I hope this part won’t be hard” he said as he went to the control panel and began to adjust the heating and cooling.

Fox and Falco finally arrived at their ships. Fox boarded Captain Falcon’s as Falco entered his. The many ROBs boarded both ships as they prepared to take off.

“Ready?” Fox asked.

“Of course, I am!” Falco replied as he started up his ship.

He departed from the station first as Fox shook his head. Then, Fox started up his ship and departed from the station. He was a bit hesitant, but he trusted his friends. He hoped they wouldn’t deviate from the plan. Knowing his friends, they would either deviate from the plan or stick to it. There is no middle ground there.

“Almost there, almost there” Samus whispered to herself as she was close to arriving at her destination.

Ridley dove right at her and grabs her with his claws! She let a scream as he ran her along the steel walls of the station. Ridley chuckled and then broke through the doors to enter another room. Then, he threw Samus on the ground. She hit the ground and rolled until she hit the wall of the new room. She gasped as the suit was malfunctioning and breaking apart.

“Keep it together” she whispered as she slowly picked herself up and adjusted her suit to focus on all the power to one part.

Ridley let out a roar as she faced him. She would have to stall him for as long as she can. She adjusted the power and energy in the suit to then running away from Ridley and blasted the area around him. Ridley flew away from her and avoided the blasts she sent. He then dove at her, but she rolled away and dropped a few bombs behind herself. The bombs exploded above Ridley who used his wings to protect himself. He swung his tail to try and strike her, but she continued to avoid his strikes.

“Almost there” she said as she continued to strike the area around him.

She jumped from wall to the ground and rolled to avoid his strikes. Then, she would aim her blaster to the ceiling and fired it. Ridley was curious about her plans and decided to stop toying with her. He swung his tail to grab her ankle and hold in the air. Then, he forcefully smacked her against the wall and held her using his claw. He examined her as she struggled to break free from his grasp. He couldn’t understand why she is doing this, until she aimed her blaster away from him. The space pirate was confused as she fired a powerful charged up shot. The shot easily missed Ridley, so he looked behind to see where the shot was going. Much to his horror, the charged up shot struck an already heavily weakened ceiling! Ridley roared as he threw Samus against another wall and tried to flee. Though, Samus blasted and hocked onto his tail to prevent him from fleeing.

“You’re going down. Even if it means I have to use up my whole power” she threatened to him as she then let out a yell and threw him towards the ground and in the middle of the room.

She then rolled into a ball and escaped as the ceiling came down and trapped her enemy in. She sighed in relief as she finally let the damages of the suit and her injuries take full effect. She grunted in pain as she slowly marched away from the area.

“Almost got it. There!” Captain Falcon said with a cheer as he prepared to leave.

He stopped once he noticed a camera displaying Samus limping away. He nodded to the camera and made his way over there to help her.

“Do you see them?” Fox asked seriously.

He and Falco managed to make it outside of the station. They were hovering outside and waiting for their friends to arrive.

“I’ve got nothing on my end” Falco replied as he noticed the station was beginning to crumble, “We have to take the shot!”

Fox shook his head. He was going to give his friends as much time as they need to get out of the station. He just wished he knew where they were. Meanwhile, Ridley was close to breaking free from the trap Samus placed on him. He roared loudly as he was close to being free which surprised everyone. Captain Falcon ran as fast as he could as Samus was close to reaching an exit.

“We have to fire!” Falco shouted to Fox.

“Just wait a little bit longer!” Fox snapped at his friend.

Captain Falcon finally caught up with Samus who was trying to figure out how to jump and reach the ship. He stood next to her as she was surprised.

“I thought you left already” she asked annoyed.

“I caught a glimpse of the camera before departing. Hop on my back. Out of the two of us, I didn’t fight a space pirate. I can get us both out of here” he said as he offered his hand to her and looked away.

She noticed how shy he was, but she took his hand and hopped on his back. He was surprised to fell the weight of the suit on his back, but he was grateful that his friend trusted him enough. He took off in a sprint and then jumped out of the station.

“NOW!” the fighters shouted with all their might.

Fox and Falco open fired and blasted the station! The station was falling apart as Fox then dove underneath Captain Falcon and Samus. He caught his friends and opened the pilot’s seat to catch them.

“Everyone ok?” he asked as he then closed the seat and then regained full control of the ship to fly right after Falco.

They were flying far away from the station as fast as they could, leaving Ridley trapped and heavily damaged. Once they were in a safe region of space, they went to check on their ship’s condition and repair anything broken. Samus had to take off her suit and repair by hand, but the ROBs did help her. Though, they were cheering and relieved to be away from that terrible space pirate.

“Is everyone ok?” Fox asked as they allowed their ship to be next to each other to regain their power and meet with each other.

“I believe so” Samus replied as she was patching up her suit, “So, how is everyone else?”

“Just fine!” Captain Falcon said with a thumbs up while Falco nodded his head.

With that, they were able to catch their breath and then figure out their next part of their plan. They have to get back to the others and help them with this threat. They weren’t sure where they were. Fox and Falco were checking the map and searching for their friends. Captain Falcon was checking on the ROBs, making sure they were still working and not falling apart.

“Anything?” Samus asked as she finished fixing up the suit.

“Nothing yet” Fox answered as Falco was adjusting the scanners and sighed.

“Everything is fixed. I don’t really know what else to do” Falco confessed with a shake of his head.

With that, the fighters seemed to be out of all options. That is until Falco’s and ROB’s letters were shining. They were surprised to see the letters glowing and flying out of their hands!

“What does this mean?” Captain Falcon asked curiously as he stroked his chin and observed the letters.

“I am not sure…” Samus said as she decided to examine it herself.

She then snapped her fingers as she recalled the letter she had. She took Falco’s letter and opened the window to let the letter go!

“What are you doing?!” Falco asked annoyed.

She simply pointed at the letter as it began to blink and float away! It was guiding them somewhere! Falco was surprised as his beak dropped while Samus simply smirked with her arms crossed.

“Take us away, boys!” she ordered as Captain Falcon and Fox took to the controls and went after the letter at full speed.

With that, all the fighters were gathering to their Final Destination for their final battle.

Chapter Text

The Fighters had finally arrived, but they were in different locations. Darkness and light were both present in the world, but something else was stirring in this world.

“What is this?” Marth asked in a surprised manner as Link held the Sheikah slate to examine the area around them, “Are you getting anything, Link?”

Link showed Marth and Roy the slate’s readings. Although Marth and Roy couldn’t understand it, Link could and discovered that light and darkness were gathering and trying to find a balance. Peach was skipping about and looking at the destination ahead. She didn’t see anything too dangerous in front of her path and assumed it would be fine.

“Princess Peach please don’t wonder off!” Marth said as he rushed to pull the Mushroom Kingdom princess away from the danger possibly ahead of themselves.

The princess pouted as Marth sighed. He wasn’t sure how, but they were closer to finding their friends and hopefully restoring this place back to normal. Though, something else strange occurred. Instead of being attacked by Primids, they found themselves attacked by something else! A fighter in 2D fashion appeared before them, but there was something very different about it.

“Oh, are you a fighter too?” Roy asked warmly as he approached the 2D fighter.

Link reacted first and pulled Roy behind him as the fighter swung a flag at him! Link held his shield to block the attack while Marth lunged forward with Falchion to strike him!

“Oh my, must we fight! I am sure we can get along if we simply talk it out” Peach asked worriedly as Marth held his sword and stood in front of her.

This is Game and Watch! Since he can’t talk, this is the only part in the story where our Author could introduce him. He’s a silent protagonist kind of man who stared in one of the first few games ever made! He is only a 2D character who fights with 2D images! Be warned! Number Nine is a very dangerous number!

“Forgive me, Princess Peach, but I do not believe this fighter to be a friendly one” Marth confessed as he prepared to fight him.

Link and Roy were slowly standing around Game and Watch and prepared to fight him. Luckily, they weren’t going to be alone either! The plumber brothers, Ice Climbers, and Sheik saw the fighting breaking out.

“Well, this is the place” Sheik said as he overlooked the fight, “Are we ready?”

The siblings gave him a firm nod. Sheik then let the Ice Climbers jump down first. They held their hammers above their heads and then slammed it on the ground between Game and Watch and Marth! Marth took a step back as he rejoined Roy and Link.

“Are they friend or foe?” Roy asked seriously.

“I believe they are friends” Marth answered warmly as Mario and Luigi jumped down and waved to them, “We fight together! Let’s go!”

Marth ran forward with Mario in front of him. Link and Luigi were close behind as Sheik and Roy were helping Peach relax.

“Do you see anyone?” Green asked as Ririri was floating beside Kirby.

“I don’t think so, but I have a feeling trouble will always find us” Gold answered her with Pibu on his shoulder.

Young Link let out a yell as everyone stopped before Bowser could stomp on them! Kirby, Ririri, and Green were surprised to see him here.

“Well, at least we got strength in numbers. This is going to be easy!” Gold said with a smirk as Pibu hopped down from his shoulder.

“Hehe. I’ve fought countless beings in my universe. I can surely handle you!” Bowser said as he let out a roar and did something they didn’t expect.

True, Gold had scene and fought with the literal god of their universe. Green had mastered Mega Evolution and fought countless Pokémon. Nothing prepared either trainer for Bowser turning into a gigantic turtle monster and letting out a much more powerful roar!

“Ok, that’s fair” Gold said in a nod as Young Link and Kirby charged forward while Gold recalled Pibu.

“Ririri, give him pain!” Green shouted as her Ririripuff rushed forward.

Gold swung his pool cue and then knocked Pibu forward. Pibu then popped out of his pokeball and launched his own “Thunder bolt” towards him.

“It appears we are late to the fight” Zelda said with a shake of her head as she saw them fighting a giant Bowser.

Dr. Mario gasped as he recognized his famous foe while Yellow gasped when she saw Green and Gold fighting with Ririri and Pibu.

“Pika! Your son is here!” Yellow exclaimed with worry as Ness nodded to her.

The Pikachu looked ready to fight as Zelda was thinking of a way to take him down.

“I’ll need some time, but I am sure I can find a way to stop him” Zelda said seriously as she prepared for a fight, “Are you find with stalling him until I can come up with a definite answer?”

Her friends agreed as she smiled and declared strongly, “Then, let’s go forward and give our friends a hand as we beat this fighter!”

They ran towards the fight just as the giant Bowser was about to strike Kirby. Ness created his shield to protect Kirby as Pika made “Thunder” crashed down on him to protect Ririri and Pibu. Pibu cheered loudly at the site of his father being present as Green was relieved to see the Pikachu.

“Wait, my senior is here?!” Gold shouted surprised.

“No, sorry. Red is busy being champion, so he couldn’t make it. He suggested that I go to help Pika in his place since I am close to him. He has Chuchu. I’m not much of a fighter, but I can still heal you” Yellow said warmly as she waved to them, “Oh, nice to see you again, Gold”

“Nice to see you too, straw hat girl!” Gold greeted warmly to his senior as Green was relieved to see her here.

Though, Green was surprised to see Mario in a doctor outfit while Yellow looked at the very young Link.

“So, is Mario a doctor now?” Green asked confused.

“No. This is a different Mario. Is Link younger now?” Yellow replied in a confused manner.

“No, he’s from another timeline. Honestly, let’s not think about it too much. It is just confusing. We should just focus on the fight if anything” Gold said as both girls agreed.

Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Blaine, and Mewtwo were making their way to the mansion, but Mewtwo stood in front of his trainer and created a powerful barrier to block an incoming punch from Ganondorf.

“Ah, it appears we’ve met with our foe” Blaine said he tipped up his hat, “Pleasure to meet you. I am Dr. Blaine”

Yoshi and Donkey Kong were surprised to see him being friendly with Ganondorf.

“My name is Ganondorf. I am king of the Gerudos” he answered with a smirk, “Though, I may not have the chance to conquer Hyrule, I plan to conquer this world for my own”

Blaine shook his head as Mewtwo understood his trainer’s intentions.

“I am tired of this constant fighting, but it appears that you must be taught a lesson as well. You won’t listen to me through words either. Very well, Mewtwo. Please give him a sound thrashing!” Blaine ordered as he pointed his cane at Ganondorf.

Mewtwo closed his eyes and teleported away for a brief to then reappear behind the Gerudo king. Though, he elbowed the Legendary Pokémon away! Yoshi and Donkey Kong charged forward as Blaine grew worried for Mewtwo’s wellbeing. Yoshi went to help Mewtwo while Donkey Kong drew his fist back. He spun it a bit and then launched a powerful punch at the dark king. Though, the dark king punched him back and their fists collided! Donkey Kong jumped back as Yoshi helped Mewtwo to Blaine. They heard Ganondorf laugh grow louder and heavier as he transformed into his giant, beast form!

“That is new” the gym leader confessed in a surprised manner.

They gathered themselves together and then charged back to the fight as Blaine tried to understand this beast form. Luckily, reinforcements were coming. Fox and Falco flew their ships towards the fight and saw their fight.

“Well, that’s new” Samus confessed.

“Honestly, after the day I’ve had, nothing phases me anymore” Fox confessed as he turned to the ROBs, “Pilot our ships and make sure they don’t get hurt. We are going in!”

He handed the controls to one ROB and then opened the doors to the fight. He smirked as Falco stood at his side.

“Last one to the fight is the slowest pilot!” Fox shouted as he jumped out of the ship first with a laughing Falco behind him.

Captain Falcon laughed at their antics as Samus put her power suit on. She then jumped after them as he let out a hearty laugh and joined them. The four of them flew towards the fight as Fox and Falco attacked Ganon while Captain Falcon landed behind them. Samus decided to speak with Blaine.

“We are fellow fighters here. We will help you take this fighter out” Samus reassured him.

He let out a laugh and answered, “I assumed as much! Don’t worry! I’m just the trainer to Mewtwo. Please don’t hesitate to fight with your all! I shall do what I can from here”

Samus thanked him and charged up her blaster to fight Ganon. As all three fights were occurring, the same being that brought them here was observing their fights. The being wasn’t sure if their fights had any meaning, but the being also wanted to interfere and cease their fighting. Their fighting brought nothing but grief. Was there no way for them to get along? Would they not make peace? This fight would determine this idea once and for all.

“We need to find the true Game and Watch!” Sheik shouted as he struck a copy of Game and Watch with his kunai.

“I agree, but how are we going to find the real one in all of this?” Roy asked seriously as his blade cut down another copy.

Marth and Link shared a look while Mario and Luigi were trying to figure that out as well. There were many Game and Watch, but they couldn’t find the right one.

“Allow me” Sheik whispered as he jumped in the air and vanished in a puff of smoke while nodding to Roy.

Sheik appeared above everyone and quickly took a glance the area below him. He summoned multiple grenades and tied each to a single wire. He then scattered the grenades around the field while one was sent to the center of the fight.

“Wait, what is he doing?” Marth asked perplexed as Roy rushed towards it.

“Argh!” Roy shouted as the blade in his hands caught fire and swung it towards the grenade’s wire, “Jump!”

Everyone got away as Roy cut the wire while also setting it on fire. He summersaulted forward and away as the wire caught fire to set off the rest of the grenades! The grenades exploded and destroyed the rest of the copies of the fake Game and Watch!

“Wonderful job, Roy!” Marth exclaimed as Roy grinned back and gave him a thumbs up.

The real Game and Watch was launched in the air and crashed down on the ground with a thud. The group was finally able to breath as they approached the unconscious Game and Watch.

“Is he out?” Roy asked curiously as they approached him.

The fighter was unconscious, but something else was forming underneath him. Mario and Link took notice it and reacted quickly. They shouted for their friends to get away as darkness burst underneath Mr. Game and Watch!

“What is this?!” Roy exclaimed as Marth stood protectively in front of the young lion.

Mario and Luigi watched the darkness gathering towards Mr. Game and Watch and found a Mega Mushroom covered in darkness. Mr. Game and Watch took the mushroom and grew into a giant!

“How is that possible?” Roy exclaimed in utter disbelief as Mario nodded his head.

Link put the Master Sword away and then drew his bow as he took out an Ancient Arrow. He turned to Marth who began to think of a plan. Everyone was tense and trying to comprehend the situation before themselves. It was definitely something they haven’t seen before.

“I’ve got a plan!” Marth shouted as he gained everyone’s attention.

They turned to him as Sheik asked, “What is it?”

Marth turned to him, Roy, and the Ice Climbers first and said, “We need to wear him down. Just weaken him. Do not go for a final strike. It will not be enough to defeat him. Roy stay with me. I have an idea. Link, Mario, and Luigi stay together. Peach please remain here”

They were surprised to see Marth easily take charge and followed his command. Sheik disappeared in many different puffs of smokes and threw kunais and grenades at Mr. Game and Watch. The Ice Climbers jumped around and swung their hammers against him. Their attacks weren’t doing much damage to Mr. Game and Watch, but it was able to distract him.

“Peach! Please be ready to dance and sing!” Marth ordered and turned to Roy, “Follow me Roy!”

Marth ran on ahead as Roy followed him They held their swords as Mario, Luigi, and Link remained with the princess. Marth jumped, raised Falchion in the air, and then slammed the blade on Mr. Game and Watch’s right foot! The 2D figure appeared to be wincing in pain, but Sheik threw another kunai to distract him. Roy understood what Marth wanted him to do and made sure his blade wasn’t burning. He jumped and held his sword before delivering a powerful strike to pin his left food to the ground.

“Peach! Sing!” Marth urged the princess as he and Roy made sure to hold Mr. Game and Watch in place.

The princess let out a gasp before picking up her dress a bit and rushing towards the fight. She then began to sing and dance as a wonderful, cheerful song. The song and dance didn’t affect Peach’s friends, but it did make Mr. Game and Watch very tired. He almost fell asleep!

“Sheik! Ice Climbers! Get away!” Marth shouted as he turned to the plumber brothers, “Mario! Luigi! Knock him down together!”

They jumped together, drew their fists back, and then punched Mr. Game and Watch together!

“Let him go!” Marth shouted as he and Roy raised their swords to release him!

The 2D fighter began to stumble backwards as Link drew the ancient arrow and bow as well as taking a running start.

“He needs a boost!” Marth shouted as Mario and Luigi rushed to Link.

Link jumped as Mario and Luigi jumped after him. The plumber brothers then grabbed onto Link and threw him in the air! Link remained calm as he held his bow, drew the arrow back, and took his aim at the center of Mr. Game and Watch. The arrow shined a brilliant blue light as energy was gathering towards the tip of it.

“Hiyah!” Link yelled as he released the arrow.

It flew swift and quick. It ran right through Mr. Game and Watch with ease and power! The fighter blew up in a giant blue explosion as Mario, Luigi, and Link landed on the ground and behind their friends. Then, there was a thud as a trophy version of Mr. Game and Watch hit the ground. The fighters gathered around the trophy and were curious as to why he was in this form. They didn’t have much time to ponder as a bright light engulfed and whisked them away from the ruins of the smash mansion.

“Duck!” Green shouted to Ririri, Kirby, Pibu, Ness, Pika, and Young Link who were all jumping and avoiding Giga Bowser’s strikes and slashes.

Even though Bsower grew in size, he was quicker and stronger than before. Luckily, most of the fighters were quicker than him and able to avoid his attacks with ease. Though, they couldn’t land an effective blow on him. Zelda was running with a protecting Young Link at her side. She knew she had to find a weak spot, but she wasn’t sure where that could possibly be.

“He moves so quick. It actually caught me off guard” the Princess of Destiny admitted as she tried to use her Triforce to find a weak spot quicker.

Yellow, Green, Gold, and Dr. Mario were on the side lines, but that didn’t sit well with the trainers who wanted to fight.

“Can’t we do anything?” Yellow asked worriedly.

Gold let out a frustrated yell as he turned to Dr. Mario, shook him, and yelled, “Didn’t you fight this guy before?! Don’t you know anything about his weakness?!”

Dr. Mario wailed as Green roughly pulled Gold off him while Yellow helped the doctor relax.

“I am sure we can figure this out together” Yellow reassured as Zelda teleported herself to them.

Yellow jumped a bit as Green let Gold go and asked, “Did you find anything out princess?”

“Not yet. This does trouble me. I don’t know if we can beat him like this” Zelda confessed worriedly.

Dr. Mario gasped as an idea formed in his head, or part of an idea. He turned to Zelda to explain his plan as she listened to him. She nodded her head as she understood what he was trying to do.

“I think this can work. We just need to get him mad. Is that good as well?” she asked as he nodded his head and decided to run forward and help his friends.

Zelda then turned to the trainers with a grin on her face.

“Please stand behind me. Dr. Mario and I have an idea” she said with a grin.

They did as Zelda took a few steps forward and faced the fight. Ririri floated around and would use “Pound” to hit the giant fighter while Pibu zipped across Bowser’s body while unleashing sparks and electricity. This slowly made Bowser slow down his strikes, but he tried to shake his entire body to throw the little mouse off him.

“PK Fire!” Ness exclaimed as he waved his hand to make fire shoot from his hands and strike Giga Bowser.

Giga Bowser turned his attention to him until Young Link quickly ran forward with his bow in hand. He jumped, drew a fire arrow, and released it. The arrow struck Giga Bowser’s arm as he let out a roar and swung his tail at knock Young Link back! Gold quickly ran forward, jumped, and caught the younger Hero of Time.

“You good?” Gold asked as Young Link nodded his head.

He charged forward as Pika reached the top of Giga Bowser’s head. Using all of the electricity his son had gathered, Pika was ready to unleash a powerful move.

“PIKA! CHUUU!” the electric mouse yelled as a powerful bolt of his “Thunder” attack crashed down on Giga Bowser!

Giga Bowser let out a painful roar as he then spun rapidly to shake off Pika and Pibu. Yellow quickly caught both electric mice and sighed in relief. This left Kriby, Ririri, Ness, Young Link, and Dr. Mario to fight.

“Kirby!” Zelda shouted as she waved one hand to the pink puff ball.

Kirby flew to her as the other kept up with the fight. Dr. Mario approached them as Zelda instructed them on the next phase of their plan. Kirby nodded as he flew higher and higher while Dr. Mario cracked his knuckles and prepared himself. Although he is not as strong as his counterpart, he knew he could do something at least.

“Link!” Ness shouted as he got a quick idea to distract Giga Bowser.

Young Link glanced at him as he landed behind the giant Bowser. Ness charged up his attack as he motioned Young Link to get ready. The young Hero of Time held his bow and pulled out a bomb arrow as he drew it back.

“PK Thunder!” Ness yelled as he zapped Giga Bowser with a powerful electric attack.

This was able to stun the giant Koopa and give Young Link his opening. Young Link let out a yell as he released the bomb arrow to strike Giga Bowser’s back! The Koopa King let out a painful roar and then stomped his feet in a frustrated manner.

“THAT’S ENOUGH!” he roared as he jumped and slammed his feet on the ground to knock both Ness and Young Link away!

“Ririri! Catch Young Link!” Green ordered as Gold once again ran behind the incoming Ness to catch the kid.

The two of them hit the ground with a thud as Pibu looked at his trainer with worry. Ness looked at the trainer who sighed in pain.

“I’ll be fine. Hey! Princess! Are you ready?!” Gold snapped as she saw Kirby very high in the air.

“Almost…” she whispered as Kirby continued to fly higher and higher.

Once he was right above and a little in front of Zelda’s shield, Kirby transformed into a thwomp and began to fall towards the ground at such a high speed!

“Everyone! Behind me! Now!” Zelda said seriously.

The fighters stood behind the princess as Dr. Mario looked ready to jump. Kirby was falling towards the ground as Zelda was mentally counting and timing the right moment for Dr. Mario.

“Now!” she shouted as she gestured forward.

Dr. Mario then jumped up and raised his fist. He was then falling right besides Kirby. The two of them then punched and slammed on the ground with all their might to create a crater right by Giga Bowser’s feet! The Koopa King fell into the crater and let out a surprised yell. He tried to crawl out of it, but it wasn’t enough! Zelda then dismissed her barrier as she ran forward with the Triforce of Wisdom glowing brightly in her right hand.

“Let the powers of Widsom and the Sacred Realm flow through me” she whispered and then jumped before Giga Bowser.

She held her hands in front of herself and let out a strong yell, “Triforce of Wisdom! Hear me and seal this dangerous form away from harming us!”

A powerful, bright triangle then surrounded Giga Bowser! He couldn’t even fight back because the power of the Triforce of Widsom was too much! With all her strength, she was able to seal away Giga Bowser in one hit! The fighters watched in awe and delight as she waved her hands to the side to finish the attack. Giga Bowser let out a defeated yell as he transformed back to his Bowser self and then into a trophy. The trophy hit the ground with a thud as Zelda sighed in relief and fell, exhausted from using her full power.

“I got you” Green said in relief as she caught the young princess.

The rest of the fighters gathered around trophy Bowser and stared at it.

“So, did we do it?” Gold asked unsure as Pibu rested on his head.

“I think so, but why is he a trophy?” Yellow asked as Young Link reached out to touch it.

However, another light consumed the fights and the trophy. Transporting them to another place where they would finally meet the being that had brought all of them here. Nevertheless, there is still one more fight occurring.

Chapter Text

As the fights were wrapping up, the little being observing this could estimate the time of returning and get a proper chance to meet with all the fighters.

“Seriously, how did he grow into that thing?!” Samus shouted as she avoided a swing of Ganondorf’s sword, “We need a new plan here!”

“I’m trying to think of something!” Fox snapped at her.

The fox sped away just in time to avoid Ganondorf’s strike. Although he and Yoshi were the fastest, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, and Samus were the heaviest hitters. Mewtwo is a wild card, and they weren’t sure what ROB could do to help them. Blaine had Mewtwo create a barrier for himself as the legendary Pokémon was still fighting the Pig King.

“Perhaps we just need a distraction and have someone strike his weak spot” the scientist pondered to himself as he walked behind Ganondorf.

“How come he’s not fighting?!” Fox shouted as he held his blaster and kept shooting Ganondorf.

“He is! Just with his mind! He’s thinking of a plan!” Samus shouted as she jumped and shot a missile at Ganondorf.

The missile struck Ganondorf as he swung his blade towards her. Yoshi quickly jumped, waved his tongue, stuck on her armor, pulled her in his mouth, and avoided the strike of his blade completely!

“What happened to Samus?!” Fox exclaimed in a horrified tone as Yoshi rejoined them.

He then waved his head to throw Samus out of his mouth and into the air! Everyone was surprised as Samus recovered and noticed how high in the air she was! She quickly aimed her cannon, charged up a shot, and fired! The shot was powerful enough to stun Ganondorf and give her enough time to land. Donkey Kong then took a running start, jumped in the air with his fists drawn back, and delivered a powerful punch to the Demon King! The Demon King checked to make sure his tail was behind him. He could only raise his Demise blades to block the punch, but it was enough to push him back! Donkey Kong then pounded on his chest as Samus landed behind the gorilla. Blaine took note of Ganondorf’s protective nature of his tail.

“You didn’t tell us about that power” Fox said as he stood in front of her.

Captain Falcon extended his hand to help her stand as she replied, “I assumed we would be fighting in a tournament. Regardless of our friendships, I was not going to let you know my fighting techniques”

Fox conceded the point as Blaine and Mewtwo rejoined them.

“I believe I have an idea on how to defeat this Demon King” Blaine said as he held his cane, “Did anyone notice anything about him?”

“Uh, that he’s huge?” Fox said unsure as Samus shook her head.

“Besides the obvious. I mean more precise details. His attitude and reaction” Blaine replied, “His tail. He’s protective of his tail”

The fighters were surprised as Blaine glanced at Mewtwo and continued to explain, “So, if we manage to deliver a strong blow at his tail, I am sure that will be enough to stop him. However, he’s not a fool. We will need another fighter to distract him. Stunning him would be ideal since that would provide a fighter with a chance to deliver that blow”

They turned to face each other as Blaine offered, “Mewtwo can help stun Ganondorf, but who should deliver the final strike?”

“Let me handle that” Captain Falcon said with a smirk.

“Oh? And why should we?” Fox asked, annoyed.

“Because I promise to deliver the final blow. You are good at annoying and distracting others” Cap. Falcon teased as Falco had an idea.

“I believe I have a way to really wear him down” Falcon said as he turned to Fox, “So, do I need to ask for permission, or can I just do it?”

“Get on with it then, Falco. We’ve got enough work to do as is” Fox said as he turned to Samus, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Mewtwo, “So, are we ready for round two?”

“Actually, let Yoshi come with me” Captain Falcon said, “He’s going to help me with my attack”

Fox sighed as Samus shook her head and took charge, “Then let’s get on with this!”

She ran on ahead with Donkey Kong and Mewtwo behind as Blaine laughed.

“She’s sure taking charge! I would love to see her fight with a certain trainer I know” Blaine said as Fox let out a groan and ran after them.

Fox quickly outran them and then ran around Ganondorf’s body. He was able to kick him a few times to distract him while Samus and Donkey Kong charged up their attacks. Mewtwo threw a few “Shadow Balls” to make Ganondorf focus on him.

“Fine. You wished to be destroyed. Then, I shall give it to you!” the Demon King yelled as he twirled and swung his blades at the legendary Pokémon.

Mewtwo crossed his arms over his chest and teleported at the last second. This caught the Demon King off guard and looked up to see Mewtwo hovering above him with a “Shadow Ball” in his hands. He threw it at the Demon King who swung his blade upward to cut the attack in half! Donkey Kong then jumped up as his fist was spinning. He then let out a yell and punched the Demon King in his chest! Ganondorf let out a painful groan as Samus then rushed up to blast him back!

“Is that enough?” she asked as she landed on the ground.

However, the Demon King held his blade to block her blast and charged forward! He swung his blades low and high to knock back her and Donkey Kong!

“Mewtwo! Go!” Blaine shouted as Genetic Pokémon teleported to appear right before Ganondorf’s line of sight.

Mewtwo’s eyes turned yellow as he paralyzed the Demon King! He couldn’t move, so Mewtwo teleported away as he noticed a ship flying over them.

“Everyone get away!” Falco ordered over the speakers of the ship.

They got away as Falco let out a powerful cheer, “Hello everyone, I’m back!”

He opened the hatch below to drop the many ROBs that came with them. The ROBs dropped onto the paralyzed Ganondorf! One ROB remained with Falco who let out a cheer and piloted the ship away.

“That was his plan?!” Samus asked in utter disbelief.

“That’s Falco for you” Fox said unimpressed but amused until he realized something, “Where’s Captain Falcon and Yoshi? They have to take this chance!”

They searched for the two fighters, but they found Yoshi right behind Captain Falcon.

He gave them a salute and shouted “Ready!”

Yoshi then stuck his tongue out to stick onto Cap. Falcon. Then, Yoshi pulled him in and ran forward as fast as he could! However, Ganondorf was slowly recovering from the attacks. Mewtwo teleported in front of him again to use “Glare” to stun him once again. Yoshi ran as fast as he could and then jumped the moment he saw the tail. Yoshi then spat Cap. Falcon out and into the air! Mewtwo quickly teleported to grab Yoshi and then teleport to bring himself and the green dinosaur back to the other fighters.

“How is he going to stop the Demon King?” Fox asked as they watched Cap. Falcon falling towards Ganondorf’s tail.

He drew his fist back as fire slowly gathered around it.

“Falcon!” he shouted as more power and fire was flowing into his fist, “PUNCH!”

He then unleashed all the momentum and power of his punch to strike Ganondorf’s tail! Ganondorf let out a painful yell as he felt his transformation fading away!

“NO! HOW?!” he shouted as he felt his strength fading until he completely vanished into a trophy.

As for Cap. Falcon, he was still falling, but Mewtwo teleported behind him to catch him. Then, they reappeared before the fighters who were cheering. They were relieved to see him defeated as Samus and Blaine looked over to see trophy Ganondorf. He wasn’t moving, but they were still cautious around him.

“Well, after all that, I think this Demon King owes a few apologizes and some respect!” Fox boasted as he marched right up to the trophy, “So, he better start talking!”

As Fox reached out to touch the trophy, a bright light engulfed them! With that, all the fighters had finished their fights and were reunited in another place.

“This isn’t the mansion” Green said nervously as she held Ririri close to her.

“No, but I had to gather all of you” the being’s voice said nervously and then relaxed, “I really wanted to meet the fighters I was able to summon and fight in my tournament”

The fighters turned their attention to the center of the room as another light appeared to reveal the being. It was a young boy with black hair and brown eyes. He wore a black shirt and pants with shoes. He held a warm smile and waved to them.

“Who are you?” Yellow asked surprised.

None of the fighters expected a young boy to be the powerful force that brought all of them together.

“I am Masahiro Sakurai” he introduced with a bow, “I summoned you to have a fun tournament. I didn’t expect to go wrong when Ganondorf crushed the console”

The Demon King sighed at that comment as Link held the hilt of the Master Sword and glared at him. Ganondorf remained still as they looked at the young boy.

“I should be able to fix the console, but for now, you will have to return to your respective worlds. I’m so sorry to cut this short. I can’t wait to see all of you again! I hope we will have another wonderful tournament together!”

“We can stay a little longer?” Marth asked warmly, “I am sure most of us wouldn’t mind a couple of more matches”

He turned to the fighters who agreed with the Hero King. Sakurai grinned at them and nodded his head. He clapped his hand as a giant gloved hand appeared above him! Sakurai waved his hand to control the giant one and created two fields: battlefield and the final destination. The fighters excited as Sakurai grinned.

“We should be able to hold a few more matches here. Afterwards, I shall return all of you back to your respective worlds” he said with a grin, “Ready?”

The fighters excitedly jumped into the two fields and fought each other for a few matches as they shouted, “SUPER SMASH BROTHERS!”

Just as Sakurai stated, he returned all the fighters back to their original worlds.

Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, and ROB returned to their regular adventures. Whether it was living life daily, climbing icy mountains, or reparing damaged ships, they were happy to do it and reflected on their time in the tournament.

Roy and Marth returned to their respective kingdoms and were greeted by their respective partners and friends. The two of them explained their fights to them warmly while promising to compete against them soon.

Ness, Captain Falcon, and Samus were teleported back to their worlds. Ness was greeted by a giant group hug from his friends while Captain Falcon fixed up his favorite car to prepare himself for another race. Samus went back to her bounty hunter work, but she was a little bit happier thanks to her time at the tournament.

Kirby, Fox, and Falco flew back to their worlds. Kirby was happy meet up with his friends and enjoy a wonderful feast with them. Fox and Falco were pleased to be back with their friends and fixing up their ships for the next mission.

Blaine, Green, Yellow, and Gold returned to their regions with their respective Pokémon. Pibu was still excited about the next tournament while Ririri was exhausted. Mewtwo was grateful to a moment to rest at Blaine’s lab. Yellow and Red met up and were happy to reunite with their respective Pikachus, Chuchu and Pika.

Ganondorf returned to his era, but he was aware he wasn’t the only one from the same era. He glanced at Sheik and Young Link who kept an eye out for him. Though, Sheik was able to tell Impa about the tournament while Young Link told his tales to Malon. Zelda returned to her world and was greeted by her Link and Impa, but she also able to tell Hilda and Ravio about as well. Link was the last one to return to his time in his group. He happily ran towards his Zelda, embraced her, and told her everything about the tournament, much to her delight and fascination.

Lastly, Bowser returned to his castle where he was greeted by his son and minions. Dr. Mario returned to his clinic and went back to work for caring for his patients. Yoshi ran back to his island and talked with the other Yoshis about the tournament about returning. Donkey Kong swung through the jungle until he was reunited with Diddy Kong who was eager to hear all about this tournament he took part in. Luigi had bid Mario farewell and went back to his mansion to check on the ghosts and then to tell Daisy about his time at the tournament. Mario escorted Peach back to her castle and then returned to his small cottage nearby. Peach had informed the Toads and Toadettes about the fighting tournament while Mario decided to get some rest and prepare himself for the next adventure.

“Wow! That was a lot of fun!” Sakurai said warmly as he was laying in his bed.

He was very happy about how the tournament went and couldn’t wait to hold another one. Unbeknownst to the tiny god, another being had discovered the remains of the ruined console and began to use it for his own means. He slowly began to merge the worlds together. Once Sakurai had caught onto this, he decided to counter this by creating one of the most powerful inventions, the invitation. He selected the fighters and then scattered the letters for near and far. Hoping to have the fighters return, he hid himself away from the new being that threatened the worlds, Tabuu.

“Every soul contains a whisper of light” Sakurai whispered as a grin formed on his face as he escaped into the depths of the subspace.

He sang a song to himself as he scattered the invitations to many, different, unique worlds. He knew these invitations would reach far and wide to many heroes and villains who wouldn’t want him to take over their worlds.

“Yes, near and far, I am sure they’ve heard about this tournament and what is coming” he whispered as he continued to run.

However, he noticed a few other worlds that were very different from the ones he was used to. He was fascinated by how many different worlds that were out there. Determination fueled him as he continued to find more fighters.

“And I know they can stop this upcoming force, together” he whispered excitedly as he found the deepest pit of the subspace.

He let out a tired yawn as he conjured up a bed for him to sleep in. He laid his down and closed his eyes as he dropped the last two invitations to two unique worlds.

“I am sure about this…” he whispered in a tired manner, “They will make sure everyone, and everything is saved from him. They will travel through the combined worlds and even make it to the depths of the subspace to find me. After all, they’ve never let anyone down before, and I know they won’t let anyone down now. For now, I will sleep until it is time for me to return to aid them. The brawl continues onward to the next generation of fighters. Yawn. I can’t wait to see who they are and what they will do…”

And so, he fell into a deep slumber and waited for the heroes and villains to receive their invitations to help save all their worlds and the subspace, an unknown place that houses two of the most powerful beings known to the worlds.

Chapter Text

“Seriously?! That actually happened?!” Red, the Fighter and 9^th Pokémon League Champion, exclaimed.

“Yeah. It was exhausting!” Green recounted to the Fighter as she had herself a smoothie.

Both were currently at Saffron City and exchanging stories at a local café. Red would normally head to the training dojo to meet with any Gym Leader from Kanto to Johto who wanted a battle. After being on Mt. Silver, he figured it would be better if he was somewhere near and not far. Yellow had returned to the forest with Pika and her Pikachu, Chuchu. Blue was busy being a Gym Leader and was even training some of Green’s Pokémon.

Red is the 9^th Pokémon League Champion as well as the Fighter among the Dex Holders. Born in Pallet Town, he saved Kanto twice, Johto, and Hoenn twice. He is a strong, determined, and smart fighter. He trained Gold and is often invited to many fighting tournaments in many regions. He is close friends with Blue and Green and cares for Yellow deeply.

“Hm, I really wish I could’ve been there. It sounds like a lot of fun” Red said as he ate some chips.

“Fun and exhausting. Why does saving the world require so much work? Heck, we didn’t get anything out of it!” she replied to him as he simply chuckled and held a smirk, “What are you up to, Red?”

He stood up and pulled his backpack off. He dug through it until he grinned. He then slowly pulled out an all too familiar invitation. Green’s eyes were wide as she then slammed her fists on the table.

“No, no, no, NO!” Green shouted as she pointed at him, “How did you get one?!”

In Red’s hands was the Smash Brothers Invitation. Pika was invited to the previous one, but Yellow accompanied him. Red and Yellow had mentioned that the invitation was delivered straight to Pika instead of the trainer. This meant that Red, himself, was invited!

“They wanted a Pokémon Champion, so invited me” Red answered with a smirk as he handed the Evolver the letter.

She pulled it out of his hand and read it herself. The letter did ask for Red to participate, but it also stated that Red could use any Pokémon. She then held a smirk herself as she called Blue over. It didn’t take long for him to arrive and meet with his friends. He didn’t come alone, because Yellow was with him who had Pika and Chuchu.

“Hey, what’s up?” Blue asked as he hopped off his Charizard as Green held the invitation to him.

Blue nodded his head as Pika the letter in his hands.

“Wow! You got another invite, buddy? That’s great! Looks like we will be opponents!” Red said with confidence as Pika cheered himself.

Yellow grinned, but Red turned to her and asked in a friendly manner, “I hope you don’t mind supporting Pika again Yellow. I’m going to be in the tournament this time!”

“Hold it, Red” Blue said as he showed Red the letter, “You need three Pokémon for tournament. Without Pika, who are you going to use?”

Before Red could answer, Green cut in and answered, “Your Charizard, my Blasty, and his Saur!”

Both boys were surprised by her statement as she tossed out Ririri. As the Jigglypuff appeared on the table, the invitation appeared in her hands.

“Come on, we need to show the worlds that our Pokémon are great! So, why not have Red command them? He’s done it before!” Green said as she took the letter and pulled out a pen from Red’s bag.

No one could really stop her when she put her mind on something. So, Red was going to us his Saur, her Blasty, and Blue’s Charizard. Ririri and Pika were invited back to the tournament. However, as they informed their juniors about this, Gold let out frustrated yell.

“What’s up with him?” Silver asked as he glared at his goldened eye friend.

Gold snarled to his silver eyed friend and replied, “Pibu didn’t get invited! Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy my senior is going, and Pibu is very happy his dad gets to go back, but why not us?! Crys is even going!”

“WHAT?!” everyone shouted as the crystal eyed girl sighed and then pulled Gold’s ear.

“That’s not quite what happened” she said with a shake of her head, “The person who sent me the invitation actually wanted me to collect the Pokémon for it. Since I’ve caught every Pokémon and all the Pokémon are with their respective regional professor, it won’t be hard to gather the ones he wants. Though, some Pokémon can be from ours as well. I’ll send the list”

Everyone was surprised and delighted to hear this. Although, another Pokémon was being invited to the tournament. Riley was checking on the Pokémon of Iron Island and had let his Lucario and Riolu out to explore it. However, they were guiding Platinum, Diamond, and Blaine to it.

“Are you sure you want to research this island? Nothing strange happens here” Riley asked the gym leader.

“Of course. I do need a place to train my fire Pokémon for the upcoming tournament” Blaine answered, “Thank you for letting us use it”

Riley nodded as Diamond held his Pokegear and was contacting the other Dex Holders with Platinum just as Lucario was standing on top of a small mountain on Iron Island. He was overlooking it just as an invitation descended to him. He caught and examined it as he returned to his trainer.

“I am sure we can help with the Pokémon, Crystal” Platinum reassured her senior as Lucario jumped and landed before them.

Diamond let out a wail as he tossed his Pokégear into the air. Platinum caught it, but the camera was viewing Lucario holding the invitation.

“Wait, Lucario got one?!” Pearl exclaimed as the rest of the Dex Holders were surprised.

Riley stepped towards Lucario who gave him the letter. Riley opened, read, and confirmed it.

“Yes. Lucario is invited to the tournament. It appears he will be a fighter” Riley said with a grin as he tipped his hat.

Lucario is a Pokémon that can sense the aura of his trainer and others. This Lucario is the Pokémon of Riley and works with him to protect Iron Island from anyone who threatens it. Lucario helped train Diamond’s Pokémon before he and his team had to battle Team Galactic.

With that, the trainers were surprised and excited for this Smash Brothers Tournament know as Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Of course, the invitations went far and wide. One letter arrived in a mailbox of a young boy. He exited his house and let out a yawn as he went to the mailbox. A little brown dog woke up and followed him as the little boy opened the mailbox.

“Boney, please be patient. I will feed you” the little boy said in a tired voice as he patted Boney’s head.

He was wearing his pajamas and went back to his small house. He took out a bag of dog food for Boney and gave some to him. Then, he looked at the mail as he sat at a table and checked it out. He had received a letter from his pen pal, Ness, and another letter with a special seal. He placed the letter with a unique seal on the table and read Ness’s letter first.

Dear Lucas,

            I’m so sorry for not writing to you as of late. I was busy in a huge fighting tournament filled with fun and amazing friends! It was scary and filled with many dangerous but making friends with them was worth it. I actually got the invitation to participate again. I hope you did too! I know you don’t like to fight as much, but I will help you and introduce you to the many friends here! I hope you are doing well. Please tell Boney and Kumatora I say hi.

From,

            Ness

Lucas finally understood what the other letter meant! He reached for the letter again just as Kumatora knocked on the door and entered his house. She is a princess of Osohe castle who helped Ness throughout his journey. She often visited him. She has a purple dress with pink hair.

“Lucas? Are you ok?” she asked as she looked over her friend’s shoulder to see the letter.

She read the details of it, gasped, and said, “Wow! This is big honor. Are you sure you can do this? You don’t have to worry about Boney. He can stay with me as we cheer you on”

Ness was a bit nervous, but he could finally meet Lucas in person. Ness nodded to himself and decided to participate in this tournament, fight his best, and meet with his friend and new ones!

Lucas is a young boy who is strong with psychic powers. His best friends are Boney and Kumatora as well as Ness. He is a bit shyer and nervous, but he is also strong and willing to do whatever he can to protect his friends and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

“Oak oak! (I got the invitation!)” Donkey Kong declared as he pounded his fists into the ground.

He announced his return to the tournament to Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, Candy Kong, and Dixie Kong. His relatives, girlfriend, and friends were very pleased to hear this and celebrated. However, Donkey Kong was a little sad to not see his nephew among them.

“Oak oak. (I am very proud of you, my great grandson. I am sure you will do your best again.)” Cranky Kong said with pride.

“Oak! Oak! (Just be sure to have some fun too! Don’t forget to mention us either!)” Funky Kong exclaimed as he hugged Donkey Kong.

Although he should be happy, he was a little sad. He didn’t want to leave Diddy Kong alone again. Perhaps he should decline and stay here instead.

“Oak oak! (Don’t worry, I am sure he’s fine. He was probably busy with his invention. He would be happy that you are in this tournament again.)” Dixie Kong said to Donkey Kong with a confident smile.

Donkey Kong thanked her and decided that he should stay here with them until they heard someone swinging on the vines and cheering. They looked outside of his house and saw Diddy Kong swinging on the vines and towards them. He seemed very excited about something as he landed before them.

“Oak oak! (I got it! I got it!)” he cheered as he stood before them and clapping with a letter in his hands.

“Oak? (Got what Diddy Kong?)” Cranky Kong asked as he took the letter from his hands.

Cranky Kong opened it and recognized the seal. Donkey Kong then grabbed Diddy Kong, shook him slightly, and embraced him warmly.

“Oak! Oak! Oak! (I’m so happy! We will do our best together and meet all my friends! I am sure you will like them too!)” Donkey Kong cheered as he threw Diddy Kong in the air.

Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong’s nephew. He looks up to Donkey Kong a lot and even tags along with him during his adventures and battles against King K. Rool. Diddy Kong isn’t as physically strong as Donkey Kong, but he is smart and fights with peanut guns. He also has a jetpack.

The Kongs celebrated their invitations to the tournament. And so, Red who has Blasty, Saur, and Charizard, Lucario, Lucas, and Diddy Kong were invited. Though, where heroes are invited, villains are also drawn to the power of the tournament. Those villains also plan to cause trouble for their tournament, whether it will bring good to them or not.

Chapter Text

The invitations sent were also delivered to respectable, ruthless villains. As Fox and Falco informed their team that they would be participating in the next tournament. Across the galaxy, there was a certain bounty hunter who had finished robbing from a supply ship and using the goods for their own purpose.

“Well done, boys!” the leader said in a cheer, “We’ve finished our purging! Feast with whatever we have!”

His crew cheered as he noticed a certain invitation in one of the boxes. He snatched it and locked himself in his private quarters. He wore a strong purple vest and black pants with strong boots. He has a holster with a strong blaster. He has an eye patch. He is a wolf like being who locked the doors and sat at his black, techno throne.

“What do we have here?” he asked curiously as he used his claws to open the invitation.

This bounty hunter is Wolf. He is Fox’s main antagonist and plunders throughout the galaxy. He is a notorious flyer and a strong fighter. He often clashes with Fox and his team over everything. However, Wolf will do anything he wants to make a profit or get whatever he desires.

“Super Smash Brothers Brawl? Hm, sounds like a perfect place to steal from and knock those two down a peg. I better reply. After all, the best bounty hunter in the galaxy should be in the world’s most dangerous tournament!” Wolf said with a smirk as he sent his reply.

In another region of space where Kirby resides, another mercenary who owned a ship was flying around their world. He overlocked their world where Kirby was making a wonderful feast for his friends, but he was keeping his distance.

“It appears that another feast is being celebrated” he said as he saw the food being passed around.

He was overlooking it from the balcony on his ship. However, he caught the sight of a letter descending towards him. He raised his bat wings and with blinding speed, he flew towards the letter. He caught it with ease and then landed on the top of his ship. He then let the letter float in front of him as he quickly swung his sword to open the letter. Then, he saw the contents of it.

“It appears I have been invited to the same tournament as Kirby” he pondered as he gazed down on the happy pink ball of puff, “Then perhaps it is time for us to clash again. Only this time, I will not hold anything back from you. I shall do everything in my power to claim victory!”

This is Meta Knight. He is Kirby’s rival who fights with the pink puffer and often trains him to be a better fighter. He is very skilled with his bat wings that allows him to fly higher and make precision attacks. He wields the sword called Galaxia and is a skilled swordfighter.

He then turned his attention to his ship and prepared to make his way to the tournament. Though, he was unaware of the darkness falling onto his ship. However, Kirby looked up as the Waddle Dees were enjoying their feast. The pink puffer wondered if his rival was doing ok. He had put a meal aside for him, but he saw the ship leaving. Kirby then turned to the meal and ate it himself with one quick inhale. Then, a Waddle Dee wobbled over to Kirby with the invitation to the next tournament. Kirby grinned as he took the letter and ran to the others while cheering at this.

And the last villain to receive the invitation is another one who cares about his wealth and money. He also cares about beating Mario and obtaining his popularity.

“Wah! Where is the last of my gold?!” he shouted as his friends were laughing and getting to work on helping him make a new game for an upcoming console.

He looked outside of his house and saw his mine being worked on. Although he was fine with his fellow competitors with racing in it, he has to make a living, so went back to mining the gold and other rare jewels he could find and sell to others.

“Wario!” his close business partner shouted as he ran in with a letter in his hands.

Waluigi is a tall, lean man who wear black overhauls with a purple shirt. He has a purple hat with an upside-down yellow L. He has a spiky mustache and long, pink noise. He is Wario’s business partner who also wants to gain the popularity and fame that Luigi has. Though, Waluigi is also jealous that Luigi has the affection of Princess Daisy.

“Waluigi? What are you doing? I thought you were spying on those pair of pathetic brothers for us! What could be so important!” Wario demanded as he turned his attention to his business partner.

The purple partner then held the inviation to him. Wario took it the moment he recognized the seal on it. The seal was the same one as the one from the letter Mario had received for the first tournament and again. He took the letter and examined it carefully. Why was this invitation so important to him? Wario opened the invitation to read it.

This is Wario. A wealthy businessman who makes his money from his mining company and from making his own video games. Wario loves to eat garlic and takes care of his motorcycle too. Though, he’s very jealous of Mario and the fame he has collected.

“Well, then it is settled! I’m joining this tournament! I shall finally beat Mario and claim his popularity for myself!” Wario declared as he wrote back to the sender.

Waluigi agreed with Wario and promised to support him with everything he could. The two of them struck a pose as something interesting occurred. A powerful being, Tabuu, used his powers to bring the villains and rivals to the main heroes to him. From there, the villains and rivals found themselves facing the blue data being in awe.

“What reason have you brought us here?” Ganondorf declared, though not the same Ganondorf.

The Ganondorf of the Era of Twilight is one of the previous Ganondorf incarnations. He wields a terrifying blade and has helped plunged the Hyrule into Twilight. Now, his anger lives on as he vows his revenge against the Link and Zelda of his timeline.

He was standing before the villains and rivals as Tabuu raised his head and examined him.

“I see. No one can fool you, Ganondorf of the Twilight Era” he said as he waved his hand to show other worlds to them.

The villains recognized their homelands and beings living there.

“What are we seeing?” Wolf demanded as he saw his world and Fox leading his team.

“Your worlds” Tabuu answered as his voice echoed around them, “You can see everything and anything. Your most precious treasures and your most hated enemies. I will grant you the power to see and travel to these worlds and claim what you desire the most”

They each saw their world, but they also saw their greatest enemies slowly making with their way back to the Smash universe to reunite for another tournament. It is true that the villains do win a round from time to time, but they would still prefer a chance to take over the world.

“I have summoned you for a specific, uniting reason” Tabuu said over them, “We want to rule the world. So, why not combined our powers and do just that?”

This surprised the villains. Bowser, Ganondorf of Time, and Mr. Game and Watch had tried a similar plan before. It didn’t work, but perhaps this time, they could.

“What should we do?” Wolf asked first.

“We need to slowly take out the heroes” Ganondorf of Twilight answered, “Of course, it would be better if we an ability to knock and trap those pesky heroes away”

“Perhaps I can help with that” Tabuu answered as he snapped his fingers to create three, dark, powerful guns.

The guns hovered in front of Bowser, Ganondorf of Twilight, and Wario. They each took a gun as they faced Tabuu.

“This device allows anyone to be turned into a trophy. This will render anyone immobile and can only be awakened if they tap the golden stand” Tabuu explained, “And since you have two pilots, I am sure your mission will go smoothly. You will report to me once all the heroes are turned to trophies. I shall have Master Hand act as my associate. If you need anything from me, I will remain with him. After we collect all the heroes, I will return you all to your respective worlds to rule”

The villains agreed to this plan, except for Meta Knight. Although he and Kirby don’t often see eye to eye, Meta Knight would never want to rule his world and harm Kirby. He had to escape and warn the heroes about this before it is too late. He turned away and tried to return to his ship.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Ganondorf of Twilight asked as he easily picked up Meta Knight by his cape and suspended him in the air.

Meta Knight swung his blade to cut Ganondorf of Twilight’s hand! He let out a painful yell before he swung his sword to knock Meta Knight in the Smash universe! Meta Knight let out a defeated, angry yell as he was sent crashing into a kingdom like stage. Though, his ship remained in the clutches of their enemies.

“I can pilot this” Wolf reassured with a wave of his paw, “I’ll take out Fox and his stupid friends in no time as well as anyone else who dares stand in my way in the skies”

“Then, the rest of us can launch an attack on the ground” Ganondorf of Time said as Bowser nodded in agreement.

Wolf put his ship in Meta Knight’s and departed. Bowser and Ganondorf of Time departed together to rally their allies and plan their attacks. That remained Ganondorf of Twilight and Mr. Game and Watch with Tabuu.

“Is there something wrong, Ganondorf of Time?” Tabuu asked as he observed him.

“I believe we will need a device to make sure the heroes cannot return to their respective locations” Ganondorf of Twilight answered, “You seem to be a being of in between. Surely, you have a device that can do this”

Tabuu narrowed his eyes at Ganondorf of Twilight before raising his hand to forcefully pull R.O.B out of his world and another invention. In R.O. B’s word, this invention was being used to freeze location in a specific time and space. Tabuu could easily modify it and use it to freeze the locations and hold it in his realm.

“This is R.O.B, a veteran in the previous tournament. He has an army of himself that can deploy these specific devices and ensure the locations are trapped and stuck with me. That way, the heroes will not be able to retreat too” Tabuu explained to him, “I shall let you know of this secret and make sure this is carried out. Though, to make sure the heroes do not catch on, I believe we shall cover R.O.B in a new apparel”

Tabuu snapped his fingers as a green hat and cloak covered the R.O.B. Tabuu’s dark power captured R.O.B and locked his kind heart away. Now, R.O.B became the Ancient Minister under their control. The villains were ready before the heroes had even met. They had planned for everything and expected total victory against their heroes. Or, so they believe.

Chapter Text

As Sakurai scattered his invitations to heroes he knew and villains they’ve crossed paths with, he dropped two into two worlds that were far away from those heroes. One invitation was delivered to a special op who was currently running away from an exploding weapons compound.

“I thought the mission was going to be easy, Otacon” the special op snapped in his radio as he pulled out a grenade and threw it towards a few guards.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t predict the future, Snake” he replied to him, “I just got the intel and sent you out. I suppose I should’ve given you a bit more rations and equipment, but I assumed you could handle it”

“Less sass talk and help me find a way out of this” Snake replied to him as he then loaded a bazooka and prepared to fire it.

This is Solid Snake. His real name is David, but he is a special operative who goes on dangerous missions to sabotage the enemies’ bases. He is an expert in many different firearms, combat training, and even know different forms of communications.

He fired the bazooka right a pile of explosives and blew up a few guards. He then hid in his box to avoid the debris and aftermath of the explosion. He lifted the box as he heard Otacon cheering over the radio. Snake sighed as he made a note of the damages and the weapons he destroyed in this facility. However, as he turned to leave, he caught site of a floating invitation. Snake effortlessly caught it and examined it while standing in place.

“Snake? You ok, buddy?” Otacon asked curiously, “You stopped moving. The mission is a success. Oh, did my equipment freak out on you? I really need to double check my work. I’m sorry”

“No, it is not that” Snake said as he turned the invitation over and noticed a familiar emblem that he had recently seen, “Is Colonel Campbell is still at the base with Mei Ling?”

“Uh?” Otacon replied nervously as he looked up to see the two of them talking about a report, “Yeah, they are. Is everything ok, Snake? Did something catch your eye?”

“You could say that” Snake answered as he put the letter away and prepare to leave, “I’m leaving now. This is Snake, I’m done here”

He quickly departed from the scene to arrive at the main base. It was just Colonel Campbell, Mei Ling, and Otacon remaining in the base. During voyage back to the base, he was able to look the invitation and realized where he recognized the symbol from, the worlds famous Super Smash Brothers tournament. He couldn’t help but grin at it. He knew what this meant and was ready for it. Before he decides anything, he should let his team know what they believed would be the best course of action with this letter.

“Snake! Nice to see you! The mission is a success, right?” Ling asked warmly as she held her tablet and grinned.

“As usual. I need to speak with you, Otacon, and the colonel about something important” Snake said as he gained the attention of the room.

Colonel Campbell turned to his attention to him to ask, “What is it, Snake?”

He held the letter in his hands as Otacon gasped. Snake knew he would recognize it, but he wanted to know what the Colonel thought of it. Colonel Campbell examined it from a distance and seem to understand what this meant.

“Snake, have you ever heard of Super Smash Brothers?” Colonel Campbell asked seriously.

“Yes, it is that fighting tournament, right?” Snake asked as he tried to confirm it.

“It is. It is a tournament where the best of the best competes in. It will be a grueling fighting tournament. It will be tough. Are you sure you’re up for this? You won’t be able to gain any support for us as well. We can offer you hints and guidance, but that’s all we can give you” Colonel Campbell informed as Snake could only smirk.

“It would be a shame to keep them waiting. I better give them my reply. It is my new mission, to take on the powerful fighters of the Super Smash Brothers Brawl tournament” Snake answered as Otacon and Ling cheered in delight with the Colonel smiling in agreement.

And so, the Solid Snake sent his invention to the tournament and departed from his friends with the gear he could carry along with his radio. Nothing was going to stop him from entering this tournament. He was ready for it.

As for another invitation, it found its way to another world far from the others, but closer to the world where Mario and his friends reside in. The invitation floated from the sky until it landed underneath a tree where a certain blue hedgehog was sleeping in.

“Sonic!” the friendly voice of his best friend shouted in delight.

He reached the bottom of the tree and noticed the letter. He took the letter and examined it.

“Hey, Sonic, is this yours?” he asked as he held it up to the tree.

A blur blue sped towards the young fox and snatched the letter out of his hands. He then stood before his best friend and held the letter. His friend was dizzy a bit, but he easily recovered as he turned to him.

Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest thing alive. He’s known as the Blue Blur and saves animal creatures from the evil clutches of Dr. Eggman. He has made many friends on his adventures and continues to do so. He’s even a good friend of Mario. He’s a good fighter too.

Sonic recognized the seal on the invitation and smiled.

He then turned to his two tailed friend and reassured him, “Don’t worry, this isn’t anything bad, Tails. Actually, Mario mentioned this tournament to me after he paid a visit to me on one of his adventures. It is a fighting tournament where the best of the best competes in”

Tails wasn’t too sure about this. He knew Sonic enjoyed fighting for fun, so Tails had a funny feeling that Sonic would also find himself in another adventure.

“Are you sure?” Tails asked as Sonic nodded his head to reassure his little brother figure.

“Of course,” Sonic said with a grin as he opened the letter to read the contents of it, “Well, I better prepare myself for it. I’ve got a few errands to run. I’ll see you soon, Tails!”

Before the fox could tell Sonic something, he sped off to take care of whatever he needed. He first stopped at G.U.N and waited outside of it for a certain hedgehog. The hedgehog stepped out of the building and sighed at who his visitor was.

“Sonic the Hedgehog” he said as Sonic grinned at him, “What brings you here? Is the doctor up to something no good?”

“Ah! Shadow! Just the hedgehog I wanted to see besides the other one from the future. Who should be arriving soon enough” Sonic said as he counted to three as a silver hedgehog teleported behind them.

“I’ve got your message, Sonic!” he said as he hovered towards him and Shadow, “What is the problem?”

“Don’t worry, Silver. I’ll explain everything. I’ve been invited to attend a certain tournament” Sonic explained to them as he held the invitation to them, “I’ll be gone for a few days. Judging by the contents of the letter, it might be a while too”

Shadow perked up at that as Sonic let him take a look at it. Silver used his powers to hover the letter between them as Sonic decided to read the contents of it to them.

“Whoever wrote this was worried. Something outside of our world frightened him enough that he sent the letter here. I’m going to help this being, but depending on what happens, I’m not really sure when I’ll be back. That’s where you two come in along with Knuckles and the Chaotix. I’ve already told them what I’m gonna do” Sonic informed them.

“So, you want us to watch over our world until you get back? That’s not a problem!” Silver said in a determined tone as he spun in the air.

“Very well. We can manage that, but if you need our help, you better ask it” Shadow said seriously as he handed the letter back to Sonic.

“Yeah, yeah. You and Knuckles said the same thing” Sonic said with a grin and shrug as he then turned to Silver, “And can you both do me one more favor before I go?”

Both hedgehogs looked at Sonic as the seven Chaos Emeralds hovered around him. He glanced to them with his smirk as he said, “If Amy needs me, tell her I left her something at her house. She’ll understand! Bye guys! Take care of everything for me!”

The emeralds crashed into the blue hedgehog as he turned golden. He flew towards the sky in a blinding speed to the tournament. Silver looked up as Shadow closed his eyes and remained quiet. He knew what Sonic was doing, but he also knew that Sonic could be in over his head about his situation. Shadow sighed and decided to return to his work. Silver was surprised and promised to watch over their home, but he saw Amy wandering around. He decided to spend time with her to keep her company and even thought of taking her to Blaze’s dimension to spend some time with her too.

“Looks like everything’s going to be ok” Sonic said in relief as he quickly flew around to see his friends enjoying themselves before flying out of his world.

The two fighters who didn’t have a stake in this tournament have departed. They were determined to do everything they can to help their new and old friends in this tournament. They wouldn’t give up and were willing to do everything they can to help them. Even if they take their times and arrive a little later than they plan.

Chapter Text

The last bit of invitations were sent to their final fighters. One letter landed in front of a mercenary camp. A person was coming back from the market and noticed it.

“I thought we already collected the mail” he said annoyed as he reached to pick it up.

He turned it over and noticed the seal. He was about to open it, but the letter remained close. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and decided to enter the camp.

“Hey, everyone, I’m back” he said unamused as the others rushed up to him.

“Ah, Soren, you’re back. What do you have there? I thought we already picked up the mail” the main knight of the mercenary group said with a grin as she moved her long, red hair away from her face.

“I did, Titania” Soren replied curtly as he placed some of the goods on a table, “I don’t know where this letter even came from”

Then, the room became quiet when the doors to their leader’s opened.

“Why are you yelling, Soren?” a gentle, strong voice asked as he approached them.

He had dark blue hair with a bandana across his forehead. He wore a blue outfit with a red cape. He had tan pants and long brown boots. He adjusted his black gloves as he examined their stern expressions.

“Did something happen at the marketplace? Should I have sent Mist instead?” he asked as he talked with them.

“No, nothing happened at the marketplace, Ike” Soren replied, “We are arguing about this letter. I collected all the mail. I don’t understand what this letter is. I can’t even open it”

“Is the letter enchanted then?” Titania asked, “Have you tried any of your magic spells?”

“Hey, I was about to when you stepped in and talked with me” Soren said as he glared at Titiania.

Ike shook his head at them as the two of them continued to argue. Ike then took the letter from Soren and examined it. He wasn’t even sure who this letter was addressed to. He took a small dagger from the table and used it to cut open the letter. Soren gasped as he turned his attention to Ike.

“You actually opened it?” Soren asked curiously as Titania laughed at his reaction, “Who’s it addressed too?”

Ike read the letter and answered simply, “To me”

They jumped at that as Ike held it in his hands and read it over.

“It appears I’ve been invited to a tournament where the best fighters compete in” Ike said as he pondered on this, “I am not sure attend this. I have enough responsibilities here. We also have Princess Elincia’s ball to consider as well”

Soren shook his head as he replied, “But Ike, this has to be a good opportunity for us. We need funds, promotions, and other assets. I think this would be a good idea”

“Well, if our commander doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t have to” Titania replied with a shrug, “If he believes he should be here, then let him be here”

Ike knew these two could argue valid points on what he should do. In the end, he knew it was ultimately his choice. So, Ike read the letter again. There would be another person in a similar world to his that would attend. The tournament did sound interesting to him, but he has a lot to consider if he has to leave the mercenaries for a bit.

“Hey! Why is it so loud in here?!” a young lady asked as she stepped in.

She had short brown hair, blue eyes, and wore a yellow dress. She had long orange boots and a blue scarf around her neck.

“Mist” Ike said surprised as he turned to his little sister.

“Oh, Ike! What’s this?!” she asked as she took the letter out of his hands and read it, “Wow! Ike are you going?! Dad would want you to go! I imagine this will test to see if you’ve improved or not over our adventure!”

Leave it to his little sister to help make his decision. He ruffled her hair as he took the letter back. He raised his hand to silence Soren and Titania. They stared at their leader as Ike made his decision.

“I’ll be attending the tournament” he announced as Soren nodded and Mist grinned, “However, we will have the Greil Mercenaries remain in Princess Elincia’s kingdom until I return. You will only take small commissions. Nothing too big nor grand. Also, no one will leave the kingdom. Do you understand?”

The three of them nodded as Ike smiled, “Then, I better prepare myself and show no mercy to my opponents”

Ike is the son of Greil and Elena, and the leader of the Greil mercenaries. He is the older brother to Mist. He wields the divine blade dubbed Ragnell. He led an uprising and restored Princess Elincia back to her throne. He helps anyone and everyone who asks for his aid. He cares for his friends deeply and will fight for them.

Another hero, not of noble birth, has decided to attend the tournament and prove his strength. If he can gain anything from it to help his friends and mercenary group, he will be grateful to. Ike packed his belongings, bid his goodbye for the time being, and departed to the location the letter spoke of.

“Daddy!” two children shouted as they picked up the mail and rushed to their father.

Their father was outside of their home and fixing up his ship, the S.S. Dolphin. It was rare for him to have some time off from his work, so he believes it would be best if he fixed up his ship as best as he can before he would be taken away by his work. He looked up from his work to see his two children running towards him with a letter in their possessions.

“What is it?” he asked as he tightened a bolt and then wiped the sweat on his head.

“You got a letter!” they shouted as they handed it to him.

This surprised the astronaut as he took it to read it. He noticed a certain symbol on the seal and carefully read it. He didn’t receive a lot of news unless it was from his job or friends. He wondered what this letter was. He carefully opened it to discover that he was invited to a fighting tournament! This confused him deeply. He wasn’t a fighter! He was an astronaut! He’s a father! Why on earth is he being invited to something like this?!

“Father is everything ok?” his kids asked as he remained quiet.

He wasn’t sure what he should do about this. His children were looking at him with bright, earnest eyes as he decided to look at the other mail he received. Most of it was bills and others were junk mail. Then, he heard his wife’s voice calling him.

“Olimar is everything ok?” she asked warmly as she saw the mail in his hands.

She looked over it too and realized why he was worried.

“You two go inside and enjoy the meal I’ve prepared” she said to their kids.

His kids ran into the office to leave the parents to talk about the letter.

“Are you worried?” she asked calmly to him.

“Yes” he confessed with worry.

She sighed in relief before nodding her head.

“Well, you could do this to help create the map and find more material to help build up your ship and others” she warmly suggested to him, “Olimar, you can do this. Also, you could make friends who could help you with this too. There is no reason to not make friends”

He smiled at her and felt relief at his wife’s words and asked, “Will you be fine along with the kids?”

She simply laughed in reply, “Don’t worry. I will be fine. The kids will be fine too. They will be cheering you on as you do this”

He looked at the letter and decided to participate in this tournament. He gathered his belongings, called the Pikmin, and prepared to depart on the S.S Dolphin. His kids and wife were standing outside of the house as they were watching him depart. He waved to them as his ship flew off. He heard his kids cheering as his wife smiled at him.

Olimar is a captain and leader of the Pikmin. He is a proud father and wonderful husband to his wife. He was stranded on an island, he discovered Pikmin who he was able to control and rebuild his ship to carry himself back to his world.

The captain and his Pikmin were flying to the tournament with hopes of making new friends and charting an even bigger map of the worlds and stars outside of their world. Speaking of another world, a letter was floating down until it landed in front of a wooden house.

“Oh? What is this?” a little girl asked surprised as she picked it up.

She turned it back and forth until she saw the seal. She then assumed it was for her big brother.

“Oi! Link! You’ve got mail!” she exclaimed as she rushed back to the house.

She was lucky that her big brother and his girlfriend had decided to return to their home island for a few days. They were sailing around the vast sea and making a map of their own. Link had suggested they rest at his home for a bit since they were close to it. Although the captain was a bit stubborn about it, she did agree.

“LINK!” she shouted loudly as she rushed up the stairs were her big brother was sleeping with his girlfriend.

They two of them were very tired and resting in his bedroom. They woke up, but his girlfriend pushed Link off the bed and then held her pistol. His sister froze as Link looked up to see what his girlfriend was doing. He let out a scream as he quickly snatched it out of her hands and then sighed in relief.

“You really shouldn’t sneak up on a pirate like that!” the girlfriend exclaimed as if it were the most obvious reason, “I’m a pirate! I fight a lot of bad guys! I have to be on guard! Right, Link?!”

She turned to him who simply sighed in defeat. He glanced at his little sister, Ayrll, and noticed a letter in her hands. He carefully got out of bed and looked at her curiously.

“What do you have there?” he asked as he put the pistol away from his girlfriend’s reach.

Ayrll held the letter out to him as he took it. He opened it as he rubbed his eyes to read it. Ayrll looked over her big brother’s shoulders to see if she could read the letter too. Link was surprised as his girlfriend snatched the letter out of his hands.

“Whatcha got there?” she asked as she took it to read it.

Before Link could explain and calm her down, she let out a frustrated yell. He then covered his little sister’s ears as his girlfriend let out a string of curses that she had picked up from her travels and being the captain of her own ship. Once Link was confident she was finished her rant, he removed his hands from his little sister’s ears.

“Are you ok?” he asked calmly as he gently pushed Ayrll behind him.

“No! How on earth did you get invited to a fighting tournament and I didn’t?!” she exclaimed as she shoved the letter in his face.

Link stumbled a bit as he took the letter back and sighed. There was nothing he could do about it. He was just invited to the tournament. She stormed out of the room and stomped her feet on the ground. Link sighed as Ayrll giggled at them. He knew he would have to talk with her about this. He followed her down to the beach where she was sitting and holding her legs close to her chest. Link quietly sat next to her and waited for a moment.

“You should go” she simply answered before staring at the sand.

He looked at her in awe as she added, “This is a big opportunity. I hate that you were picked, but you are a good fighter too. I understand why they did pick you”

Link smiled softly at her before pulling her into a warm hug. She was surprised at his reaction, but she also knew he would simply give her a warm hug and let her talk out her issues before making a move. He understood her excitement of wanting to fight in a dangerous tournament, but she knew he could do it.

“You better not lose” she mumbled against his chest, “Otherwise, I won’t forgive you nor let you live it down. Also, if there is a chance for me to even appear, you better invite me. I want to fight too!”

Link smiled at her, nodded his head, and then kissed her head as her face heated up, “Thank you, Zelda”

“Ah, nice to see you two getting along so well” his grandmother said warmly as she and Ayrll greeted them.

Link helped Zelda up and waved to them. Link showed his grandmother the invitation and informed him that he was going to participate in it. Link prepared himself and dressed in the hero’s clothes. He had his items with him and placed it in his ship. He looked at his little sister, grandmother, and Zelda. He gave his little sister and grandmother a hug and then faced Zelda.

“Again, you better win. I won’t let you live it down if you don’t!” she snapped at him and then held a gentle smile, “But please come back alive too. I will miss you very much”

Link grinned at her and gave her a big hug. He then jumped into his boat and prepared to sail. He set sail and waved goodbye to those he cared for.

Toon Link is a hero in another timeline. He travelled the vast sea with Tetra who turned out to be Zelda. He departed from his home to save his little sister with her help. The two of them worked together to stop Ganondorf, forever in their timeline. He’s much faster and smaller than most of his reincarnations.

The Hero of the seas was sailing towards the greatest fight he would be a part of. He was excited, but he also knew he had to try his best in the upcoming fight.

Another world, in a kingdom in Kirby’s world, a king had witnessed Meta Knight being thrown out of his world and heading towards a fight.

“I wonder what is going on” the king mumbled to himself as a bunch of Waddle Dees were running around behind him.

“King Dedede!” the Waddle Dees shouted as they stood at attention, “What do you want us to do?”

The king of the Waddle Dees gazed at them as he then looked at the scene outside. He could sense something coming. He looked at his bag of tricks and items and decided to do something about it. He had received a letter about a fighting tournament which was the same one Kirby had entered. He knew something was up, even if Kirby insisted he could handle it without his help. The king turned to his Waddle Dees and slammed his hammer on the ground. He is big, round, blue penguin wearing an elegant, red rob. He had a red hood and golden crown on his head. He held a hammer in his hands and had an orange beak.

“My Waddle Dees! It is time for us to take an action and do what we can to help! Let us depart and find our friends together!” he shouted as he rallied the Waddle Dees.

He turned to his bag, checked his timers, and then departed with his Waddle Dees. He checked to make sure his invitation is correct about him being invited to this tournament. With his name on the letter, he let out a puff of air, and then followed his Waddle Dees down a path.

King Dedede is the leader of the Waddle Dees. Although he and Kirby have fought with each other from time to time, he’s a sweet king and has even helped Kirby on his adventures too. King Dedede fights with his giant hammer and even receives help from his Waddle Dees too.

The last letter had finally reached its final destination for now. It landed before a temple in the sky. The goddess that resided in the temple had exited and picked up the invitation. She carefully read it, smiled, and returned to her temple. She has long, beautiful, green hair and clear blue eyes. She is wearing a white dress with golden charms and jewelries hanging from it. She has a grown on her head and brown high heels.

“I’m so excited! This is going to be an exciting match!” a cheerful, young voice shouted as a young angel was standing near a vision pool.

The goddess smiled at him as he flapped his wings excitedly. He turned his attention to the goddess and smiled at her.

“Hello Lady Palutena! Are you ready for the match begin?!” he asked excitedly as he pumped up his fists.

“Of course, Pit” she replied to her captain.

This is Pit. He is the last of angels and captain of Palutena’s army of Centurions. He is skilled with using many different weapons created by the gods. He is devoted to Lady Palutena and always carries out her missions without complaining. He mainly fights with a bow which breaks into daggers.

He has brown, messy hair and bright brown eyes. He is wearing a white tunic with brown shorts. He has brown sandals on. His wings are shorter than most angels that used to live with them, but he is self-conscious about it, so no one should make jokes about it to him. He was excited for the tournament to begin. This time, this tournament would be shown to almost every world! Soon, everyone will hear about the tournament and watch it live. It was an exciting time for everyone. As for the angel, he was a huge fan of many of the heroes who were participating in this tournament. Lady Palutena decided to overlook the tournament with him in anticipation.

The viewing pool revealed a stadium before a large crowd of spectators, cheering and shouting with all their might. Then, three princesses stepped out from the main stand and waved to them. One was Princess Peach, the other was Princess Zelda of the Between Worlds, and the last princess is another Princess Zelda of the Twilight era. She wore a beautiful purple and white dress. She had a pair of brown boots and wore a golden circlet with a pair of white, smooth gloves. Instead of her long, golden hair, she has long, soft, brown hair and matching eyes.

Princess of Zelda of the Twilight era is a wise princess. She had to surrender herself and seal herself to protect her people and those she cherishes. She gave her powers to help Midna and Link on their adventure. She is very smart and skilled with her magic and bow.

The three of them greeted the crowd and were prepared to announce the first two fighters for the first round of the tournament.

“Are you ready, Zelda?” Peach asked Twilight Zelda.

“I am” she replied.

She was surprised to receive a letter herself due to what had happened to her kingdom. She smiled at the crowd as she prayed for her hero to come and enjoy the fun tournament as well. He had to depart for a bit, but he promised he would return.

The Hero of Twilight was holding the letter himself and nodded. He turned to the direction of the stadium with a small smile on his face. He has the usual green tunic and gear, but his hair was a darker shade of blonde. He still had the blue eyes as he made his way to it.

“I’m coming, Zelda” he whispered as he slowly made his way.

This is the Hero of Twilight Link. When Twilight descended onto Hyrule, Link set out to free it from the Twilight by teaming up with the Princess of Twilight Midna. Much like his previous reincarnations, Link carries a lot of gear and fights with the Master Sword.

The fighters slowly make their way to the tournament, but they are also heading towards a grand adventure to save their worlds and the creator behind it.

Chapter Text

The three princesses were standing above the crowd that was excited for the tournament to begin. The princesses were looking at each other and the crowded arena.

“Oh, this is so exciting!” Princess Peach exclaimed in delight as she waved to everyone.

“I am too! I cannot wait to see who else was invited to this tournament” Princess Zelda said in delight as she looked at another version of herself, “What do you think? Do you know anyone who could possibly be attending this?”

“I am not sure myself” she replied honestly even if she hoped for one fighter to appear.

The crowd suddenly cheered as the two gates on the opposite end of the arena opened to reveal Mario and Kirby! Princess Zelda and Peach were happy to see them again as Twilight Zelda overlooked them and held her reservations for them. She would make her decision after their fight.

“Welcome one and all to the annual Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament! Are we excited?!” Peach exclaimed to the audience as she held a microphone in her hands.

Everyone cheered loudly and excitedly in reply as Mario and Kirby waved to the crowd.

“For our first round, we have Mr. Video Game Himself in the left corner!” Peach said as she gestured to the left where Mario stood.

He tossed his hat off head and jumped to catch it.

He then waved to the crowd with both hands while shouting, “Yahoo! Let’s a go!”

“And in the right corner, we have the Pink Demon himself, Kirby!” Zelda introduced as she turned to the right corner.

Kirby stood on his feet, waved his hands above his head, and said excitedly, “Hi!”

Everyone cheered as Twilight Zelda stepped forward and announced, “And let the first match of the brawl begin!”

Mario and Kirby faced each other determinedly. They charged at each other as Mario threw a punch at the pink demon first. Kirby jumped and hovered above Mario before turning into a Thowmp and trying to get the drop on the plumber. Mario rolled away to then jumping in the air and throwing a ball of fire at Kirby. Kirby opened his mouth to eat the fire ball. Then, he lunged to kick Mario. Mario blocked it, but Kirby then summoned his hammer. Kirby let his hammer store up power before taking one giant swing to knock Mario into a wall!

“O’ wwwwwaaahhh!” Mario exclaimed as he went flying and crashed into the wall.

Kirby then floated over the plumber and then held a sword above his head to deliver a strong strike to knock Mario into his trophy form! Kirby then gently landed on the ground as the crowd erupted into a frenzy of applause. Kirby waved his two hands above his head and spun around with a grin.

“Well, is that Mr. Video Game Himself doing his best?” Zelda asked with a teasing expression as Peach pouted.

“Perhaps he’s been slacking off. I might have to help Bowser with training him when Bowser kidnaps me again” Peach reasoned as Twilight Zelda blinked at her reasoning.

Kirby then tapped Mario’s golden stand to awaken him. Mario rubbed his head as he groaned until he saw Kirby holding his hand out to him. Mario grinned, took his hand, and shook it. They then waved at the crowd who cheered in delight. The three princesses were grinning at the excitement of the crowd and were ready to have another fight begin. That is until Kirby heard a familiar humming and looked up to see a familiar ship flying over them. It had the same dark wings and mask as darkness poured from it like rain.

“What is this?” Zelda asked as Twilight Zelda remained alert.

Kirby let out an “oh” as he realized it was Meta Knight’s ship! Though, the Pink Demon was surprised to see the darkness falling from it. Why would he be doing this? The crowd began to panic as the darkness appeared and began to take the form of soldiers. The soldiers surrounded Mario and Kirby who stood back-to-back against the incoming wave of dark soldiers.

“What are these things?” Peach asked disgusted while Twilight Zelda shook her head.

“This is not the time to be thinking. We have to act” Twilight Zelda said seriously as she teleported into the fight with Zelda behind her.

Peach sighed as she grabbed her parasol and floated into the stage. The ladies stood with Mario and Kirby as they prepared to fight them. Both Zeldas cast their magic to keep the creatures at bay while Kirby and Mario mainly punched, kicked, and used their sucking and fire abilities to drive it back.

“I believe I’ve heard of these creatures of pure darkness” Zelda answered as she created a dark armored knight to strike it, “They were called Primids. They could travel through the worlds and cause it fall apart in pieces. We cannot let something like this happen!”

They agreed as they continued to fight the Primids together. Mario, Peach, and Kirby jumped as the two Zeldas shared a knowing expression. They grabbed each other’s arm and held onto it. They spun around to create a tornado of fire to pull in the Primids and cause some reducing damages to it. They pulled themselves into the center of the tornado of fire as Peach was using one hand to hold onto the parasol while throwing turnips and other random items into the tornado to strike the Primids. Mario and Kirby were hovering above the tornado and shared at nod. Kirby drew back his hammer as Mario landed on it. Kirby let out a powerful yell and knocked Mario to the fight! Mario drew his fist back and covered it in fire.

“Let’s a go!” Mario yelled as he then punched the ground just as both Zeldas teleported away and deliver a powerful blow that knocked the remaining Primids out.

Mario landed on the ground as Peach and Kirby floated behind him. He grinned at them when he noticed they were unharmed. The Zeldas teleported back to them and were relieved to see the Primids defeated.

“That should relieve everyone” Peach said as she dusted her dress until Zelda pointed at something in the sky.

It was a being covered in a dark, green rob. He was riding a machinal device that was holding a bomb!

“Is he going to blow up this place?!” Peach exclaimed in disbelief as Mario shook his head.

He jumped, drew his fist back, and prepared to punch it until a giant Petey Piranha jumped and dropped kicked Mario out of the stadium! This giant plant has a red head with yellow petals that hold red edges. The body of it was green while it had a red with white polka dot shorts.

“Oh, wah!” Mario cried as he was kicked out of the stadium!

“Mario!” Peach cried as she watched in horror at Mario being effortlessly kicked out of the stadium.

Kirby glanced and watched Mario being tossed out as Twilight Zelda faced the person in green.

“Who are you and what are you doing?” she demanded as fire was burning from her hands.

“I am the Ancient Minister” he declared in his robotic voice while transmitting the message to other fighters across the worlds, “I am assigned by the great being to reset everything and have access to other parts of the world. Now, I will reset everything here with this!”

He then turned to Petey Piranha then swung two cages as Kirby and Zelda ducked from his swipe. However, Peach and Twilight Zelda were caught and caged!

“Help!” Peach screamed as she shook the bars while Twilight Zelda tried to use her magic to free herself.

“Kirby, we must act fast and save them” Zelda said determinedly as her hands were glowing with magic.

The Pink Demon nodded his head as he summoned his sword. The two of them charged at the giant plant as it roared at them. Zelda used Nayru’s love to protect herself and Kirby as the Petey Piranha swung Peach’s cage at them. Peach was screaming as the cage clashed against the barrier.

“We need to focus on one of them! It doesn’t matter who! Pick one!” Zelda said seriously.

Kirby nodded his head as he jumped, drew his hammer back, and then slammed it against the plant. The plant stumbled before jumping, swinging the cages, and swung it at Kirby. Kirby let out a wail as he was sent flying while Zelda glanced at his flying form. She sighed as she then had darkness coming from her hand and waved it to cast a dark armored knight. The knight drew his sword and struck the plant as she ran the other way. Kirby recovered and then floated above them.

“Kirby! I’ll create an opening! Go for it!” Zelda shouted as her knight continued to swing his sword against the plant.

The pink demon nodded as Zelda jumped to cast another fire spell. Then, she used her light magic to blind the plant. She teleported back to the stage and then used a teleportation spell to cast her fire spell in the front of the plant’s vision. The plant let out a wail as it stumbled. Kirby then floated right above the plant with his sword in hand. He then swung the sword downward to cut the plant down and break the cage holding Peach.

“WOAH!” Peach exclaimed as Twilight Zelda cast a protective spell around herself as the plant released his grip on the cages.

Peach’s cage crashed behind Zelda while Twilight Zelda’s cage crashed away from them. Zelda helped Peach up as she sighed at the destruction around themselves with Kirby landing behind them.

“Are you alright?” Zelda asked as Peach shook her head.

“I am fine, but that was rather rude and dirty” Peach answered as she stood up and dusted herself off.

The two princesses then searched for Twilight Zelda, but they heard a loud thwomp. They turned around to see the bomb the Ancient Minister held crash on the ground. The bomb opened and began to count down as Zelda gasped.

“We have to leave!” she exclaimed as Kirby glanced to Twilight Zelda.

She was crawling out of the cage and was relieved she wasn’t hurt too badly. There was another crash as she and Kirby to see another fighter arrive.

“Wario?! What are you doing here?!” Peach exclaimed as her hands with to the sides of her face.

Wario is a famous video game businessman as well as the owner of a goldmine. He’s also a business partner to Waluigi. Wario does not like Mario and demands to be as famous as him by any means necessary. As a result, he declares himself as Mario’s main rival.

“Was he invited here?” Zelda asked her as Peach shrugged.

Wario didn’t wear his usual yellow shirt and hat with matching purple overalls and green shoes. He still had his pink nose, zig zag mustache, and eyes hungry for profit and fame. He pulled out a giant gun and aimed it right at Kirby. Twilight Zelda placed her hands on the Pink Demon to teleport him to Peach and Zelda. Wario pulled the trigger and struck her!

“Zelda!” Peach exclaimed as a golden arrow struck Twilight Zelda.

She was unconscious and forced into a trophy form! Wario chuckled in delight as he picked her trophy form up and laughed. He then fled as Kirby let out a surprised “oh” at the site of the bomb. Peach and Zelda scream as Kirby quickly summons his warp star and hovered it before him. The two princesses jumped on it as Kirby controlled it to take themselves out of the stadium. The bomb exploded and pulled the stadium into a fold of time and space. Peach and Zelda held onto the star as Kirby continued to fly out of the stadium. They glanced back with worry and wonder what would become of the fighters and friends with this brawl before them.

Chapter Text

Although not every fighter witnessed the stadium exploding, Pit did. He gasped in horror at the site of the stadium being pulled through time and space. He couldn’t believe something interrupted the tournament!

“Lady Palutena!” Pit shouted as he stepped back from the viewing pool.

He turned to the goddess of light with a stunned and serious expression. He wanted to help, but he wasn’t invited to it, so he shouldn’t have a reason to interfere. The goddess of light has beautiful, emerald hair and clear, sapphire eyes. She wore a beautiful, white rob with many golden charms on a brown belt. She has a shield on her right arm as a blue heavenly light shined above her head. She has a golden crown rested on her head. In her hands was the invitation to the tournament.

“Lady Palutena! What is that in your hands?!” Pit exclaimed as he pointed at it.

“Your invitation” she answered with a mischievous grin, “I was going to open a door for you and help you make a dramatic entrance, but that plan has changed. I won’t be able to guide your path because the worlds are being pulled apart. I will not be able to guide you either. You’ll be on your own, Pit. Are you ready for this adventure and helping the fighters?”

Pit kneeled before her, lowered his head, and answered with respect, “Of course, I am, Lady Palutena. I am ready to help the fighters and restore order to the worlds!”

She couldn’t help but grin. She held her hand out as she made the letter disappear and a bow appear. She gently tossed the bow to him as he gently took it in his hands. Three golden rings appeared over right, brown band. He gasped in delight as he held the Palutena bow and nodded his head. She waved her other hand to have a door appear behind him.

“I won’t let you down!” Pit exclaimed as he waved the bow in his hands and rushed to the doors.

He faced her, wings out, and a grin. The doors opened behind him as he felt the gentle wind blowing behind him. He took a deep breath in and leaned out of the door. He was falling, but he wasn’t afraid. He opened his eyes as he let out a delighted laugh and glided through the air. He was determined to do what he can to help the fighters.

As the angle was descending from the heavens, in the other side of the skies, two pilots were flying their respective jets through the skies and flying after Meta Knight’s ship.

“We’ve come all this way, got our respective crafts ready, and this is happening. How can this happen at this tournament again?” Fox asked annoyed as he was piloting his Arwing through the skies and checking the maps for anything.

His Arwing was a bit beat up, but he was still able to fly. He continued to fly after the ship when he noticed the trail of darkness coming from it.

“I thought this was a fun tournament you entered” another voice spoke over the intercom, “Then again, you were in another fight too when you went to this tournament. I wondered why they invited me, but I am sure this is the reason”

“Falco please be alert and ready for anything. It is just us. We can’t afford to lose here. Our team needs us when were return to our world” Fox ordered seriously.

Another Arwing flew pass him and went to strike Meta Knight’s ship. Fox sighed as Falco smirked at him. Falco is a blue bird and wore a pilot outfit. He has a single visor over one of his eyes.

Falco is a member of team Star Fox. He’s Fox’s best friend and regarded as the best pilot on the team. He was a bounty hunter, but he changed sides to help Fox. Now, Falco helps the team with the most dangerous missions and keeps the team in line without the need of Fox from time to time.

“Hey! Fox! Did you see this?” Falco asked as he looked forward to seeing the darkness falling from it.

“I don’t know, but we have to shoot it down!” Fox ordered seriously, “I placed a tracker on Wolf. I am sure he’s in there!”

“Do you think he was invited to this tournament?” Falco asked as he prepared to fire the ship.

“I don’t know, nor do I care. He’s going down!” Fox ordered as he open fired on the ship.

They combined their attacks and tried strike the ship down. Falco was able to hit it while Fox missed. The ship shook as the pilot grunted in annoyance. He looked at the scanners and noticed the two Arwings following him.

“Of course, they would follow me” he said annoyed as he shook his head, “I will do everything I can to defeat you once and for all, Fox McCloud! I, Wolf, will make sure you will die in the flames of your ship!”

Wolf is a wolf with silver hair and purple bounty hunter outfit. He has black pants and tough black boots. He has a scarf on his face as he glared at the screens.

Wolf is a notorious bounty hunter who has caused chaos around the worlds. He used to fight with Fox’s dad, but he now fights with Fox McCloud and vows to defeat him. He wants to bring more chaos to the galaxy and make as much money as he can.

“Launch all of the missiles!” he ordered as he slammed his fist on the control table.

He unleashed a powerful source of darkness that descended onto the worlds. The darkness created Primids that began to search for the fighters and turn them into trophies. He grinned as he turned his attention to Falco’s Arwing.

“Let’s see if your friendship is still your weakness, McCloud” Wolf said as he fried a grapple gun at Falco’s Arwing.

Falco was surprised as he tried to shake the grapple gun off his tail.

“I can’t shake this thing!” Falco exclaimed as he flew the other way.

Fox sighed as he then nodded to himself. He flew right towards Falco and used his Arwing to protect him! He knew Falco was the much better pilot than he was, so he was sure Falco could finish the mission for him.

“Finish the mission Falco!” Fox ordered at the grapple gun struck his Arwing and caused damage!

Fox let out a grunt as he prepared for a crash landing.

“Fox!” Falco exclaimed as he saw Fox’s Arwing crash to the jungle, “Oh, Wolf’s going to regret that! He’s going down!”

Falco flew after Meta Knight’s ship as Fox crashed in the deep parts of the jungle. Meanwhile, as Falco was focusing on firing at the ship, he failed to notice Kirby, Zelda, and Peach were riding on the warp star. The moment Kirby saw the ship, he flew after it, believing it to be a safest idea. 

“Why are we going to the ship?!” Peach exclaimed as she clutched onto the star.

“Kirby said this would be the safest place to stay” Zelda answered calmly through the chaos, “He knows this fighter!”

Kirby continued to fly after the ship, determining to reach it. He was sure Meta Knight would be able to give them protection from this as well as make a plan to save everyone. However, Peach let out a scream as she pointed at Fox’s falling ship. Kirby and Zelda were surprised until the ship fired something at them! Kirby raised the warp star to protect themselves. The attack destroyed the wrap star and knocked all three of them out of the sky! They let out a scream as they were falling to the ground! Peach was floating to the ground as Kirby grabbed Zelda and helped her land safely on the ground. However, Pit was still descending to the ground and was fighting some enemies along the way such as Gombas, Koopas, and even Primids. He landed on a cloud when he saw Mario’s trophy among it!

“Mario!” Pit exclaimed as he placed his hand on the trophy and helped Mario awaken.

The plumber groaned as he shook his head. He felt his head and glanced at the angel. The angel’s expression brightened as he tried to contain himself. Mario stood up and pondered on what he was doing here. Pit then realized his confusion and explained to him what transpired with Kirby’s group.

“And I was given an invitation too. I came to help you and the other fighters!” Pit exclaimed determinedly.

Mario grinned at him, put up a thumbs up, and said “Let’s a go!”

Pit gasped as his smile grew wider as Mario jumped on ahead. Pit let out a cheerful yell as he glided after Mario. They could see Meta Knight’s ship flying away and releasing more of the darkness that would create more Primids. Along the way, they worked together to defeat the Primids and ensure the areas they travelled were safe.

Chapter Text

Fox was able to crash land his Arwing in the jungle, but he was struggling with getting out of it and hit his head against the side of it. He lost consciousness, but someone else noticed the plane crashing in the distance. He was holding his Sheikah slate as he caught a photo of it. Link put the slate away and ran towards the crash site as fast as he could.

In another part of the jungle, a Gomba and Koopa were driving a cart as it held a bunch of bananas on a stack.

“We have to lure them out, Gomba!” Koopa exclaimed as he kept the bananas from falling off.

“I know, but it is really hard to drive with your feet!” Gomba exclaimed as he tried to drive as safely as he could.

Koopa let out a scream as he continued to hold the bananas in the cart. However, the ground began to shake as they looked back to see Donkey Kong running after them!

“Oak oak oak! (Get back here! Those are our bananas!)” Donkey Kong shouted angrily as he continued to run after them.

“Oak oak oak oak oak! (Donkey Kong! We have to head to the stadium soon! We have a match against Mario and Luigi!)” a younger gorilla informed as he was clinging onto Donkey Kong’s back.

The younger gorilla had a red shirt and cap as he clung onto the back of Donkey Kong. He looked over Donkey Kong’s head and saw the Koopa and Gomba stealing the bananas.

This is Diddy Kong. He is Donkey Kong’s nephew and boyfriend to Dixie Kong. He lives with Donkey Kong and helps him on his many adventures against King K. Rool and Bowser. Though, instead of the strength that Donkey Kong has, Diddy Kong is smart and quick.

“Oak oak oak oak! (But they have our bananas! I will not let them take something from our home! After this, we will then head to the stadium and participate in the tournament. Do your best at it too! You may even fight me!)” Donkey Kong said with a grin as he sped up and raised his fists in the air.

Diddy Kong jumped from his back as Donkey Kong slammed his fists on the ground and pounded it to cause it to shake! Gomba couldn’t control the car as Koopa went flying! Diddy Kong pulled out his peanut guns and fried two peanuts at the Koopa. The peanuts knocked Koopa away as Donkey Kong rushed, drew his fist back, and punched Gomba off the cart! The minions let out a scream as Donkey Kong stopped the cart with his hands and grinned at the site of the bananas. Diddy Kong landed before it and cheered at the site of it.

“Oak oak! (This is great! Now, we can bring this back home and head to the brawl!)” Diddy Kong exclaimed in delight as Donkey Kong nodded in agreement.

However, Donkey Kong heard something rustling in the bushes and turned to see the Koopa King marching towards them with a giant, black gun in his hands! Diddy Kong screamed at the site of it while Donkey Kong remained alert.

“Oak oak! (Bsower! What do you want with us?!)” Donkey Kong demanded as Diddy Kong jumped in front of him.

“It doesn’t matter to you!” Bowser declared, “I will get rid of anyone who stands in my way and rule over the Mushroom Kingdom with Princess Peach at my side!”

The gun was powering up as Donkey Kong quickly spun his fist. He punched Diddy Kong into the air as Bowser pulled the trigger. Diddy Kong let out a scream as he was sent flying while the gun knocked Donkey Kong into his trophy form in one hit! Diddy Kong covered his eyes as he then crashed into another part of the jungle. Bowser put the gun away as he let out a proud roar at his achievement.

“There! With one of Mario’s friends out of the way, taking down the plumber will be easier!” Bowser declared and let a chuckle.

He then let out another roar as his minions arrived to put the Donkey Kong trophy in chains and in a cage on a small hover craft. They marched away as Diddy Kong finally got up and rushed to find help. He couldn’t fight Bowser alone and save Donkey Kong! Diddy Kong slumped his shoulders in defeat as he slowly walked to the hidden pond in the jungle. He felt the ground shake as a green, serpent like creature swam up from the river and let out a roar! Diddy Kong let out a scream of fear at the site of it! The creature let out another roar as it turned its attention to the burning Arwing and powered up an attack! Diddy Kong prepared to take cover as someone fired a blue arrow at it! Diddy Kong blinked as the creature fell into the water.

“Oak oak? (Who was that?)” Diddy Kong asked bewildered as he turned around to see Link standing there and holding an Ancient Bow in his hands.

He then put the bow away before running to the Arwing. Diddy Kong watched in shock as Link tried to find a way to help Fox. Link let out a yell to alert Fox of the danger he was in. The green creature rose from the water as it roared at Link for attacking it! It flew to grab the distracted Diddy Kong and then power up another attack! Link prepared to fire another Ancient Arrow, but thanks to his yelling, Fox did wake up and discovered that he was surrounded by fire! Fox slammed his fist on the ejection button and jumped straight out of the burning ship.

“Thanks Link!” Fox shouted as he then dove to free Diddy Kong from it and land on the ground next to Link, “I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff in the galaxy, but this one takes the cake. What even is that?”

Link took out his Sheikah Slate and hovered it over the creature. The slate searched the databases around the worlds and finally presented them a profile of the creature.

Rayquaza is the Sky High Pokémon. This is a Pokémon that flies endlessly in the ozone layer. It is said it would descend to the ground if Kyogre and Groudon were to fight. This Pokémon was captured and studied by the Pokémon Association to create a Green Orb. It was freed by Ruby the Charmer when he was a child. Rayquaza roams free and keeps Hoenn safe.

“Great, but what are this things weakness?” Fox asked as he glared at the Pokémon.

The Pokémon let out another roar as it charged up an attack. Fox rushed in front of Link and Diddy Kong to put a reflective shield. Link held the slate as he read over the information.

“This Pokémon has weaknesses to ice, dragon, rock, and fairy typing” the slate reported to them as Link checked his bags for anything that could help them fight against it.

Diddy Kong let out a scream as Fox prepared to reflect the incoming beam of energy from Rayquaza. Fox let out a grunt as he then kicked and reflected it back at the dragon and flying Pokémon. However, they noticed the Pokémon to be incredible pain from it!

“Oak oak! (It is weak to itself!)” Diddy Kong exclaimed.

“Then we have to reflect its attack back at it!” Fox ordered, “Are you two ready for this?!”

Link grinned as he drew the Master sword and Hylian shield. Diddy Kong held his peanut guns as he then put on a wooden jetpack and flung himself at Rayquaza! Fox and Link were surprised, but the young gorilla let out a determined yell as he aimed his two guns right at the dragon and flying type. The dragon roared to cast a powerful gust of wind to knock Diddy Kong away and took his attack. Link put his sword back as he drew his Ancient bow and arrow again. He took a strong stance before aiming it right at Rayquaza’s face. Link took a deep breath and then fired the arrow to strike. Fox quickly jumped and caught Diddy Kong before returning to the ground.

“Link! Fire!” Fox shouted as Link grunted and powered up the arrow.

He fired it right at Rayquaza’s face! Rayquaza let out a painful yell as the arrow struck his face and fell back into the water.

“Oak oak! (Nice shot, Link!)” Diddy Kong expressed in awe.

Link smirked until Rayquaza picked itself up and charged up another attack! Fox rushed in front of them and created another barrier.

“Here it comes!” he shouted as Link but the bow away and held his shield in front of themselves to add more protection.

Diddy Kong was standing behind them and panicking until he got an idea. Rayquazaa unleashed another “Dragon Pulse” attack as both Fox and Link stood together to block it. Then, Fox used his speed and strength to reflect the attack back at the dragon. Diddy Kong then charged up his pistol to then firing a powerful peanut bullet behind the reflected attack! Rayquaza tried to create another attack, but reflected attack was much faster and struck his stomach! Rayquaza fell back into the water and fainted! The three of them were quiet before slowing glancing to each other to check for wounds. They slowly backed away and went deeper into the jungle to find some place to rest for a moment.

“So, did you get an invitation, junior Kong?” Fox asked as he sat on the ground.

“Oak oak oak? Oak oak oak! Oak oak oak (What do you mean by junior? I am Diddy Kong! Donkey Kong is my uncle! Also, I did receive one to join in this fighting tournament)” Diddy Kong introduced before showing the invitation to them.

Fox simply nodded his head before turning to Link to ask, “And I am guessing you were invited back as well. It is nice to see a friendly face”

Link nodded his head in agreement as he questioned what Fox was doing in the burning aircraft.

“Oh! Right! Falco and I were trailing after our enemy, Wolf. Turns out, he was invited to this tournament as well. Falco and I knew something must be up, so we flew after him. Falco should still be on his tail, but I was shot out of the sky” Fox answered as he realized something, “Hey, nephew Kong, if you’re here, where’s your uncle?”

Diddy Kong sadly explained what happened to him and his uncle. Fox and Link were concerned to hear this.

“I don’t know much about this Bowser, but I do know from the previous tournament that he never used a gun. He must’ve gotten this from someone else” Fox said as he glanced to Link who was focusing on the Master Sword, “Did something happen to your sword?”

Link stared at it. Ever since he was invited back to the tournament, he noticed his sword was glowing more than usual. He wasn’t sure what this meant and had even asked Zelda about this. She perplexed as well, but she promised she would do all that she can to research the meaning behind it.

“Well, I hope we can figure that out too. For now, we should get out of this jungle and find a way back to Falco” Fox reasoned as Diddy Kong shook his head and grabbed Fox’s collar!

Fox was choking as Link blinked at the little gorilla’s grab. Diddy Kong was pointing down another path with a serious expression. Link quickly broke them apart and then stood between them. Link then gave Fox a calm expression and then gestured to Diddy Kong.

“Alright, but you better lead us somewhere closer to Falco or our enemies” Fox said as he let Diddy Kong led the way.

They walked through the jungle as Link stood behind Diddy Kong and used another sword to cut through some of the vines and jungle leaves. They continued to search through the jungle until Diddy Kong jumped over a few vines and rushed to the banana pile. He sighed in defeat when he realized that no one was around. Link held a sadden expression as he realized that this was the place where Diddy Kong lost Donkey Kong.

“It doesn’t look like anyone else is here” Fox said with a shake of his head until Link heard something snap and turned to see the spiky shell with darkness glowing from it.

Fox nodded his head as link went to pick up Diddy Kong. Fox quietly followed the spiky shell and then used his speed to trip the Koopa. Link then threw Diddy Kong to then drawing his sword and shield.

“Oak! Oak! (That’s Bowser!)” Diddy Kong exlcimaed as he pulled out his peanut guns and opened fired!

“Got it! Don’t hold anything back and take him alive! We need to question him about his plans and what’s going on!” Fox shouted seriously as Link jumped and raised his sword above his head.

Link then slammed the sword against Bowser who was blocking his strike with his spiky back. Bowser then pushed his back to Link. He quickly threw his shield in front of himself and bounced off Bowser! Diddy Kong continued to fire peanut after peanut at Bowser who could only put up a shield and protect himself.

“See ya!” Fox whispered as he ran right behind Bowser and swiftly knocked Bowser off his feet and on his back, “Link! Now!”

The Hero of Time jumped up again and raised the sword above his head. He let out a yell and slammed his sword against Bowser’s stomach to strike Bowser down! Diddy Kong and Fox cheered as Link was able to defeat Bowser. However, Link felt something off with the fight. He stood away from the Koopa King as he put his sword away. Link recalled from Mario that Bowser has immense strength, but this Bowser didn’t even use it in this fight. Something was off to the Hero of Time.

“Nice one!” Fox said as he walked up to Link while Diddy Kong ran up to the Koopa King who transformed into a trophy.

Fox noticed Link’s serious expression and remained alert as he opened his holster to grab his gun in case of anything. Diddy Kong growled at the trophy form of Bowser and bumped into it in anger. However, instead of the trophy being a trophy, it disappeared into darkness!

“What?” Fox asked surprised as Link quickly pushed Fox, Diddy Kong, and himself to the ground to avoid another gunshot!

Fox gasped as Diddy Kong growled “Oak oak oak! (That’s the same gunshot that took out Donkey Kong!)” Diddy Kong exclaimed in worry as they heard a growl coming from Bowser!

Bowser was standing before them and holding the same, giant black gun! Link growled back as Fox shook his head and noticed more darkness gathering behind Bowser.

“Oh, no. We are not risking this! Let’s go!” Fox shouted as he grabbed Diddy Kong and pulled Link the other way.

Bowser continued to fire at them as Fox saw the edge of the cliff.

“Jump!” Fox shouted to Link as he nodded and jumped with him as Diddy Kong let out a panicked yell.

They screamed as they were falling over the edge of the cliff while Bowser let out a laugh.

“Run while you can! I am going to catch you! You will be caught and delivered to Tabuu!” Bowser yelled as Fox and Link shared a concerned expression while falling deeper into the jungle.

Meanwhile, Mario and Pit had finally reached the earthy grounds of the mortal and fighter realm. Pit was surprised to see the mortal realm relatively the same and baren. There was a lack of anything alive moving about the ground level too.

“Where is everyone?” Pit asked curiously.

Mario looked around and noticed a cloud of darkness forming in the distance. Mario pointed to it and ran on ahead. Pit followed him as they fought their way through darkness. They defeated the Primids until Mario recognized and saw the Ancient Minister. Mario pointed it to as he and Pit continued to chase after it. Mario jumped and tried to reach him, but Mario was off a bit. Pit then jumped on Mario’s head and tried to reach for the Ancient Minister. He was close and let out a wail as he fell back to the ground. Pit landed on his feet while Mario landed on his stomach. Mario groaned as Pit was surprised and helped him stand up.

“Come on, we have to go after him!” Pit urged as he took off while Mario waited for a few seconds.

He grinned at Pit’s determination and willingness to help others. Mario then ran after them with his own determination.

Chapter Text

 In a beaten up, old playground, a young child was walking thought it alone while holding a letter in his hands. He wasn’t sure where to go from here and continued to walk alone.

“Where is everyone? I thought there was supposed to be a lot of people attending this event” he whispered before putting the invitation away.

As he put the invitation away, he looked up to see Primids forming in front of him!

“What are these things?” he asked nervously as he took a step back.

A few formed in front of him as he ran the other way.

“Please leave me alone!” he shouted with worry as he continued to run, “I don’t want to fight unless we are fighting in the tournament!”

However, a few more appeared in front of himself again. He gasped in fear and cast his psychic powers to create a shield to protect himself. A few of the Primids threw itself against the shield and disappeared the moment it struck it.

“Please stop! I don’t want to hurt you!” he exclaimed until one snuck behind him to pull him to the ground!

He let out a painful yell and whimpered when he saw more and more Primids were covering him!

He waited to be attacked, but someone shouted, “PK Thunder! PK Fire!”

The boy opened his eyes in awe and saw Ness standing in front of him!

“Hi Lucas!” Ness greeted warmly, “I am sorry I took a long time to find you! I was fighting some Primids on me own when I was trying to find you and the others”

Ness held out his hand to Lucas as Lucas stared at the hand and then Ness. Lucas took the hand as Ness helped him stand up and grinned.

“Come on, we should get going. I am sure we will find other fighters too” Ness reassured him, “Just stay with me and fight our way through this!”

“O-ok” Lucas replied in relief as he stood behind Ness.

“PK Thunder!” Ness shouted as he waved his hands to zap a few Primids in front of him.

Lucas was surprised to see Ness fighting with everything with everything he has. Lucas wondered where Ness got this strength to fight against all odds. Ness then unleashed a powerful wave of energy to strike the Primids around himself. Lucas then cast a “PK Freeze” to freeze a few Primids. Ness spun a yo-yo and beat the Primids with it. Ness took a baseball bat and knocked the Primids back.

“You’re a good fighter, Lucas” Ness cheered warmly.

The ground shook as Lucas grabbed Ness as they looked around for the source of the shaking. Lucas and Ness then found themselves facing a giant machine holding a person inside of it!

“Ah!” Lucas screamed at the site of it until Ness held his fists up.

“Don’t worry, we can do this together” Ness reassured him confidently, “We have to work together and then we can do this”

Lucas was surprised as Ness remained strong. Ness pushed Lucas away from an incoming attack from Porky. Lucas hit the ground as Ness continued to run towards Porky. Ness created a shield of lighting around himself and pushed himself right towards Porky.

“PK Fire!” Ness shouted as he cast a powerful fire at Porky.

Lucas ran underneath Porky and shouted, “PK Freeze!”

He froze Porky in place as Ness cheered.

“Nice on, Lucas!” Ness exclaimed as coated himself in lightning, “PK Thunder!”

He crashed himself into Porky burst lightning! Lucas charged himself up with lightning and lunged to help Ness. Lucas crashed into Porky from below and crashed the machine to break! Lucas was knocked back and hit the ground with a thud. He looked up to see Ness hovering above him. He lowered himself to the ground and before Lucas.

“Are you ok?” Ness asked seriously as still held up his fists.

“Y-yes. Do you think that’s enough?” Lucas asked worriedly.

The machine exploded as Ness cheered! He helped Lucas stand up and grinned warmly.

“We did it! We did it!” Ness cheered as Lucas pulled his hands back from Ness and sighed in relief.

Lucas was relieved to see Porky defeated, but he wondered what they were going to do now. They defeated Porky and were still alone here. Where would they go now? Ness knew Lucas was worried and walked up to him to comfort him.

“Hey, don’t worry, we are going to be ok” Ness reassured him until he heard something charging.

Lucas could hear it too and nervously searched for the source of it. Lucas gasped as he saw Wario standing on top of a small mound of earth!

“See you later, kiddies” Wario chuckled as he fired the gun.

Ness gasped as Wario fired the gun. Ness then pushed Lucas away as the gun struck Ness! Lucas hit the ground and gasped when he turned around to see Ness transformed back to his trophy form!

“Ness…” Lucas whispered with worry as Wario jumped down and grabbed the trophy form of Ness.

Wario laughed at Ness and then at Lucas before running off with the trophy form of Ness. Lucas hesitantly reached out, but he felt scared. He picked himself up and ran the other way from them while crying. He couldn’t save his best friend… He slowly began to walk and bumped into someone.

“Huh?” he asked as he looked up to see Red standing before him with Green standing beside him.

Red turned around and saw Ness’s worried expression.

“Hey, don’t worry. We will get through this together” Red reassured him by rubbing his yellow hair and tossing out Blasty though Blasty was not a Blastoise.

Blasty was Squritle. Ness blinked at them as Red grinned.

“I’ll handle this. Green and Ririri will watch over you” Red said determinedly as he commanded Blasty while Green sighed at him.

“Leave it to him to be a showoff” Green said with a sigh before turning to Ness and asking, “Are you ok? What happened?”

Ness looked at his feet nervously as he glanced to Red and Blasty. Red commanded Blasty to use his speed and powerful water attacks to defeat the Primids. Ness was in awe at the site of how strong and tough Red was in the fight. He and Blasty were able to defeat the Primids so easily!

“I still can’t believe my strong and tough Blasty is now in his cute form! I don’t get to even spend time with him!” Green exclaimed annoyed as she hugged Ririri close to herself.

“Hey, he’s still strong!” Red answered, “Strong and quick like Pika!”

They finished defeating the remaining Primids. Red then returned Blasty back to his pokeball and then turned to Ness.

“Ok that should take care of that. I’m Red. This is Green and Ririri. I am using her Blasty in the tournament” Red answered, “We are looking for our friends. We got separated when we were making our way to this tournament”

“As well as your Saur who is an Ivysaur and Blue’s Charizard” Green reminded him, “But knowing Yellow and Pika, they’re fine. I bet they’re already waiting for us at the tournament”

Red could rub the back of his neck and grinned. They were talking to each other as Ness recalled what happened to Lucas and nodded to himself.

“I lost my friend” he spoke nervously, “And I want to save him! Will you help me?”

Red and Green shared a look and then Red answered firmly, “Yeah, we’re friends! Let’s help each other find our friends together”

Ness was surprised to see them agreeing to help him.

“Well, let’s go” Red said with a nod of his head, “We will save them!”

They walked together and leaving the rundown playground with every intent on saving their friends.  

Chapter Text

Marth was holding his invitation as he remained at a castle. He heard trouble was brewing around, but he wasn’t sure what kind of trouble it was. He sighed and shook his head.

“I am sure it has something to do the villains of their respective worlds” Marth pondered before stepping outside and checking the area around himself.

He put the invitation back in his pocket and wondered if there was anyone who needed his help. He noticed something shinnying in the distance and remained alert. He rushed towards it, but Primids appeared in his path!

“Very well. If it is a duel you wish to have, I will duel with you!” Marth declared as he pulled Falchion out of its scabbard and held it high above his head.

The light reflected off the blade and shined for miles before Marth lunged forward to strike one Primid in front of himself.

“I was told there would be a new fighter from my world and another fighter who is from Kirby’s world. Both wield a sword and are considered knights where they reside. I do hope this hasn’t been keeping them from reaching me” Marth pondered as he swung his blade to strike the Primid before him.

However, he felt the ground shake as he turned to the source of it. He saw something in distance and rushed to it while cutting down any Primid in front of him. He saw the Ancient Minister holding another bomb and dropping it.

“What is he doing?” Marth wondered as he wondered what the Ancient Minister was doing.

The Ancient Minister dropped the bomb as two more ROBs appeared at the side of the bomb to hold it in place. The ROBs waved goodbye to the Ancient Minister who floated away from them. The bomb exploded as Marth gasped at power of the bomb.

“This is bad” Marth whispered until he was blocking a strike from a Primid.

He noticed Primids were around him as Marth began to think of another plan to get himself out of this situation. However, he noticed something dark flying towards him. The dark figure then swung his sword to strike the Primids from behind.

“Who are you?” Marth asked as he struck another Primid.

“Meta Knight. I am a knight from Dreamland. Someone stole my ship and is using it to spread this darkness” Meta Knight answered seriously as he drew his blade, “I saw the explosion in the distance and flew as fast as I could. I am aware that we were supposed to fight in a tournament, but it appears we have to save the world before that”

“I agree. I am King Mart. I will gladly work with you and save our world!” Marth shouted as he swung Falchion to slash one Primid in half.

Meta Knight found himself being surrounded by a group of Primids. He swung his blade quickly and then dashed to behind the group and held his sword down. The group was destroyed as Meta Knight flew towards the next group of Primids. Marth drew his sword back as he charged up its power and to then striking the Primids in one hit! However, Marth noticed the Ancient Minister was leaving and pointed Falchion at him.

“After him!” Marth shouted, “He was the one who placed the bomb!”

“Then he must be working with the rest of the villains. If we catch him, we should learn about their plans!” Meta Knight declared as he and Marth found themselves overwhelmed and being attacked!

They couldn’t reach out to the fleeing Ancient Minister! Meta Knight grabbed Marth and then flew right after the Ancient Minister. Meta Knight threw Marth who raised Falchion to try and strike the Ancient Minister. However, he gasped when he missed his strike. Then, Meta Knight flew right after the Ancient Minister, but the Ancient Minister turned around to fire red laser beams at him! the beams struck Meta Knight’s cape and forcing him to be grounded. Then, a couple of ROBs appeared before the Ancient Minister with another bomb!

“No!” Marth grunted in frustration.

The Ancient Minister took the bomb and prepared to set it off. Meta Knight and Marth watched in worry until someone in navy blue rushed forward with a golden blade in hand.

“Great Aether!” Ike yelled as he tossed it in the air.

He grabbed it and then slammed the blade against the bomb to destroy it! Ike landed on the ground and swung the blade away as he glanced at Marth and Meta Knight.

“Who are you?” Meta Knight asked as he pointed his sword at him.

“I am Ike. I wield the blade of Ragnell” he said as he pulled out the invitation from his bag, “I was invited to this tournament, but I noticed these creatures of darkness were causing trouble. I decided to help, but something tells me we need to follow him and find out what is going on”

Marth and Meta Knight agreed as they give chase to the Ancient Minister.

Chapter Text

“Oh, man. Where did Mario go?” Luigi asked nervously, “I know he said it was ok for me to see Princess Daisy before I attend the tournament, but I didn’t expect this long of a wait”

Luigi had to make a detour before heading to the event. Mario promised to meet with him after the opening ceremony and call. Mario didn’t call, so Luigi assumed the worst had happened to his brother. Luigi sighed as he continued to walk down the path, alone and with worry.

“Maybe I should find another way to reach him. This is unlike him” he pondered.

As he was walking, something small and orange was walking pass him. He jumped at the site of it which was a Waddle Dee. Well, more than one Waddle Dee walked away from him as he held up his shaking fists.

“What are they doing here? Why is there so many of them?” Luigi wondered until King Dedede drew his hammer back.

He swung it forward to then striking Luigi! Luigi let out a wail as he was flung into the air and knocked into his trophy form! The trophy form of Luigi then landed on top of King Dedede’s hammer as the giant penguin laughed in delight at the site of Luigi in his trophy.

“This will make an excellent stand at my castle!” King Dedede said with a grin as he then marched with the rest of the Waddle Dees to his castle.

They carried the trophy form of Luigi and marched to the castle in the distance. However, Wario sped pass them and spun King Dedede! King Dedede was dizzy as he knocked a few Waddle Dees on the ground and made them drop the trophy form of Luigi.

“Ah, that’s interesting! Mario’s pathetic little brother is in his trophy form!” Wario laughed as he picked up Luigi’s trophy and then put it on the back of his cart with the Ness trophy and Twilight Zelda trophy.

The Waddle Dees jumped when King Dedede was knocked on the ground and then held angry expressions. They charged at Wario and pushed him away from his bike and cart!

“What the heck?! Why is this happening to me?!” Wario exclaimed as he tried to get back to his bike.

The Waddle Dees continued to push Wario away as King Dedede recovered and saw the bike and the three trophies in the cart.

“Wow! More trophies! Let’s go!” King Dedede exclaimed as he pushed the gas pedals and sped away from Wario!

Wario dropped his jaw down in shock as he watched King Dedede flee from the scene. Wario jumped let out a yell of frustration as he wondered what he was going to do now. He was getting paid for this… He nodded his head and decided to gather more trophies in another location. He walked away, but he still grumbled.

Meanwhile, in the distance forest, Twilight Link was walking through it while looking at the invitation in his hands. He was surprised to be invited to the tournament.

“I wonder if Zelda is already fighting. Maybe Midna too” Twilight Link wondered as he rubbed the back of his head, “I am grateful the village let me go, but I am still worried. I don’t know if I will be able to make in time for the opening ceremony”

He continued to walk until he passed a sleeping Yoshi who was snoring loudly. Twilight Link was surprised as he noticed the green dinosaur resting until he felt a familiar power calling to him.

“Must I take up the Master Sword again?” Twilight Link wondered as he recalled the same power he felt when he first sensed the Master Sword.

He looked around the forest as Yoshi woke up and blinked at the site of Twilight Link.

“Yoshi! Yoshi! (Link! Is that you?)” Yoshi greeted warmly as he hopped over to Twilight Link.

Twilight Link blinked at Yoshi and recalled his time as a wolf for the reason he could speak with Yoshi.

“I am sorry, but I don’t know you” Twilight Link said as he pulled out the invitation to him, “I was invited to this tournament recently. This is my first time fighting here”

Yoshi looked at the invitation and nodded at the newcomer’s invitation.

“Yoshi… (I see…)” Yoshi answered, understanding the situation now, “Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi (Well, we better get moving. We have to head to the tournament)”

“I agree, but first, I have to find something of mine” Twilight Link explained as he looked at his left hand to see the Triforce glowing again, “I am sure it is near”

He walked through the thick areas of the forest and stopped at the same site where the Master Sword remained. It was exactly how he left it before. Twilight Link took a deep breath in before he took a step towards the stand. Yoshi simply watched from afar. Twilight Link then took the hilt of the sword and gripped it. He used his strength to slowly pull the blade out of the stand. He then raised the blade above his head as it shined with the powers of light and courage.

“Very well. If I must take up the Master Sword again, I will” Twilight Link whispered to himself as he then held the blade before him.

He put the blade in his scabbard and turned to Yoshi. Yoshi simply waited for Twilight Link who took a calm breath and then nodded his head.

“I am ready to go” he said with a grin.

Yoshi happily grinned as the duo departed from the forest and followed the source of the darkness before them.

“Ow…” Yellow groaned as she sat up and rubbed her head, “Where am I? What’s going on?”

She looked around and noticed she was behind bars! She rushed up to the bars in a bewildered manner and grabbed it.

“What is going on?!” she exclaimed in shock as she tried to make sense of this.

She recalled going to meet Red, Green, and Riley at the tournament and left with Pika. However, a strong wave of darkness washed over them and forced them to lose consciousness. Yellow looked around the cell and noticed the technology in here was advance.

“This must be from another world” Yellow reasoned, “But how I am going to get out of here?”

She tried to break the bars, but she wasn’t strong enough. She sighed and saw on her butt. She glanced at her bag and didn’t find Pika with her.

“I hope Pika is faring better than me” Yellow said with concern, “I should find a way to get out of here, but without my teammates, I am not sure. I can’t give up, but how do I get myself out of here”

Meanwhile, in the generator room, Pika was struggling in the holds of a Metriod. Pika tried to use his powers, but the Metriod was resisting his attacks. Then, the Metriod placed Pika in a capsule and locked it. Pika was confused until two electrical rods appeared at the sides of his capsule. Then, he screamed in pain as the rods zapped him and drained him of his electricity!

“Pika!” he exclaimed in pain as he hoped someone could hear him.

Yellow gasped as she heard his cries and rushed to the bars of the cell. She struggled to break it and was getting worried.

“Pika!” she exclaimed, “Somebody let me out! I have to help him!”

She didn’t have to wait long, because someone kicked a part of the ceiling down and landed before her. Yellow blinked at the site of a young lady in a skintight, blue suit and holding a gun. She has long blond hair as she slowly stood up and waited.

“Uh, I am behind you” Yellow said in a stunned tone as the lady turned around to face her.

“Yellow!” she said surprised as Yellow recognized the voice.

“Samus!” Yellow shouted in relief as she relaxed for a moment, “Listen, there is no time to talk! I have to get out of here and help Pika! He’s in danger!”

Samus nodded as she held her gun and motioned Yellow to stand back. Yellow took a few steps back as Samus used the gun as a whip to break the bars! Yellow sighed in relief before running out and grinning at her.

“Thank you so much, but we have to hurry!” Yellow exclaimed as she took off running, but Samus held her arm to stop her.

“Hold on, I know you want to help him, but you don’t know where you are, do you?” Samus asked seriously.

Yellow stood and realized she was right.

“Stay close to me and don’t make a sound” she ordered as she let Yellow’s arm go.

They turned their attention to the hallway and ran down the hall together. Yellow did as she was told, but she wondered why Samus was wearing a suit like this instead of her orange armor.

“I lost it” Samus answered simply, “On my way here, I was attacked and lost my suit. I don’t normally wear it when I fly. I always placed a tracker on my belongings and tracked my suit here. I was on my way to the tournament too, but this comes first. That suit is important to me”

Yellow simply nodded her head.

“This suit before you is my Zero Suit. It relies more on my agility and speed than more strength and power. The gun is part of it too and has a stun feature as well as a whip. I was allowed to fight with both my suit and Zero Suit for the tournament as well” Samus answered, “That should be all of your questions, right?”

This suit Samus is wearing allows Samus to fight acrobatically and even carries here Paralyzer gun. She has a Plasma Whip and Wire attached to it. She has a pair of jet boots she uses to kick her foes and allows her to jump to higher plans as well.

Yellow nodded her head as she continued to follow her. Though, she did have one more question. Who stole her suit?

“Although, you’ve been stuck in here for a while” Samus reasoned as she recalled the reports she saw when she was flying towards the main ship and recounted what was happening in the world.

Yellow was surprised by this and wondered if her friends were doing ok. She shook her head and nodded to herself. She was sure Red and Green were doing fine on their own.

“What I don’t understand is why you’re here” Samus confessed, “Your world has nothing to do with technology nor aliens. You shouldn’t have been here”

Yellow could only nod in agreement until they heard Pika shouting in pain! Yellow ran on ahead to help him with Samus following her. They gasped when they saw Pika trapped in a cage and being drained of his electrical powers!

“Pika!” Yellow exclaimed as she rushed to it but was stopped by Samus again, “I have to help him! Don’t you dare stop me!”

“I won’t, but I’ll free him” Samus reassured her as she held her gun and then transformed it into a whip to strike the capsule holding Pika.

In one powerful strike, Samus broke Pika free from the capsule! Yellow rushed to catch the hurt Pikachu and held him close to her. Samus remained alert as she glanced to Yellow. Samus saw Yellow closing her eyes and slowly healing the Pikachu in her hands!

“How did you do that?” Samus asked surprised.

“I have special abilities since I was born in the Viridian Forest” Yellow answered as Pika sprang to life and jumped from her hands, full of energy and life!

An alarm blared as red lights were flashing. The doors opened again to reveal Primids coming towards them.

“Are you two ready for a fight?” Samus asked as she held her gun.

“Ready!” Yellow answered as Pika sparked a bit.

Samus cracked her whip to have it wrap around one while Pika jumped on the second one. Yellow remained behind them as she tried to keep herself awake. She couldn’t fall asleep in a situation like this. Pika then swung his tail to knock the Primid downs while Samus kicked the one she was holding.

“Come on, we have to get out of here and then find my suit” Samus said seriously as she noticed Yellow was getting sleepy and looked at Pika, “Zap anything that comes near Yellow”

Pika agreed at they charged out of the room with a sleepy Yellow behind them. They ran down the hallway and took another turn until they were an empty room. Samus let Yellow rest as she took out her tracker to find her suit. Pika jumped onto Yellow’s lap with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry, I’m going to be fine” Yellow reassured him by rubbing his head, “I just need to rest”

“That power of yours” Samus said seriously, “It takes energy out of you, doesn’t it?”

Yellow nodded her head as Samus sighed and ordered, “Than don’t use it. We are in a dangerous place. We can’t afford for you to get tired”

Yellow nodded her head as she slapped the sides of her cheeks. Samus noticed her determination and looked forward. The hallways were being patrolled by Primids.

“Ok, be careful and stay quiet” Samus ordered them.

Yellow nodded as Pika jumped down from her lap. They departed from the room and then walked through the hallways as they avoided the Primids. Samus looked at the tracker and noticed they were getting closer. They found themselves standing in front of a pair of giants, silver, steel doors.

“Is this it?” Yellow asked curiously.

“Yes” Samus answered as she examined it.

She wasn’t sure how to break through the doors, but Pika noticed a broken control panel and jumped on it. Pika then gripped on the control panel and unleashed a powerful lightning bolt! They were surprised to see the electric mouse doing this. The doors opened as Samus’ eyes were wide with relief. She ran in as Yellow waited for Pika to climb up on her shoulder. She ran after Samus who stopped in front of a capsule and was staring at her orange suit.

“We found it!” Yellow said in relief as Samus nodded her head in agreement with Pika exclaiming in relief.

Samus put her tracker away and then unlocked the capsule to then putting her armor back on. However, the doors closed behind them as they heard a loud roar from behind.

“What was that?” Yellow asked with worried as Samus prepared herself for a fight along with Pika.

The lights flickered as Samus held her arm out. It transformed into a cannon as she readied herself for a fight.

“Get ready. I don’t think we are going to get out of here so easily. We will have to fight our way out” Samus answered firmly.

“Ok! Pika, get ready!” Yellow said seriously as Pika jumped in front of her with his cheeks sparking.

Meanwhile, Kirby carefully helped Zelda land on the ground while Peach floated to the ground. The three of them looked up to see the ship flying away from them. They were sighing at the site of it, but they were thankful to be landing on the ground in one piece.

“Well, where do we go from here?” Zelda pondered as she reflected on their situation.

“Hello! We were just attacked out of the sky! I believe we should rest!” Peach exclaimed by stomping her feet.

As for Kirby, he was worried. He was sure that ship would give them protection, but he knew Meta Knight wouldn’t stand by this violence and threat against the world. He looked at the direction to where the ship was heading and nodded to himself. He ran after it as Zelda shook her head.

“Kirby! Come back!” Zelda shouted as she chased after him.

“Oh, sure. Why not go towards more danger?” Peach said annoyed as she walked after them.

As she humped and walked after them, she heard something powering up behind her. She slowly turned around and gasped when she saw Bowser standing behind her and holding a gun! Bowser laughed and pulled the trigger as Peach was knocked into her trophy form! He pointed at her trophy form as the darkness covered it and took her form.

“Go and destroy Mario and bring his trophy to me” Bowser ordered the fake Peach who took the gun and made her way to Mario.

Chapter Text

“Yoshi, yoshi… (Where do you think everyone is?)” Yoshi asked with concern as he and Twilight Link were still walking after the darkness.

He remained quiet and wondered where the others were. He mostly wondered where Twilight Zelda was. He promised to protect her as well as aid her in the recovery of their Hyrule. He sighed. He shouldn’t have returned to his village before the reconstruction was complete. He sensed a darkness and noticed something in the darkness. He stopped and took a moment to look around. Twilight Link decided to run through the field with Yoshi following him. Yoshi was worried as to why Twilight Link was running. Yoshi nearly gasped as Twilight Link covered his mouth with his hand. They were both surprised to see Peach holding a gun and preparing to take aim at someone. Twilight Link motioned to keep Yoshi quiet.

“Stay here” Twilight Link said calmly as he gripped the handle of the Master Sword.

Mario and Pit were focusing on the ship ahead of them. They were unaware of Peach holding a gun and aiming it at them. Then gun was charging up as Peach prepared to pull the trigger. Twilight Link noticed the gun in Peach’s hand and drew the Master Sword close to himself. Twilight Link then lunged forward to strike the gun and cut it in half before she could pull the trigger! She pulled herself away from the destroyed gun and glared at Twilight Link.

“Yoshi! (Peach!)” the green dinosaur exclaimed in disbelief.

“Who is that?” Twilight Link asked as he held the Hylian shield in front of himself.

“Yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi? (Peach is a princess that Mario cares for deeply. I do not understand why she is attacking us though)” Yoshi answered unsure.

They turned their attention to the dark princess who pulled out a tennis racket as she smacked Yoshi away! Twilight Link was surprised to see this as he raised his shield to block her tennis racket. He found her strike s little weak, but she could push him back! Twilight Link decided to remain on defense as she continued to smack against his shield. He wanted to wait to see her strengths before fighting with her. What he didn’t expect was Yoshi to come in and straight up kick Peach away from him!

“What? Why?” Twilight Link asked surprised, “Isn’t she your friend? Don’t you want to help her?”

Yoshi remained alert as he held up his fists.

“Yoshi, yoshi! Yoshi, yoshi! (That is not her! She would never hurt someone! Whether she didn’t know them or not!)” Yoshi said seriously as Peach picked herself up.

Twilight Link drew his bow and fired an arrow at her to slow her down. Yoshi ran forward and swung his tail to knock her off her feet! Twilight Link then charged forward with the Master Sword in hand. Peach picked up another item and threw it at him. Yoshi pushed out his tongue to grab the item and eat it. This surprised the dark form of Peach as Twilight Link then jumped and raised the Master sword above his head.

“Yoshi! Yoshi! (Link! Don’t hold anything back!)” Yoshi said determinedly.

Twilight Link let out a yell as he swung his sword downward and slammed it against the fake Peach! In one, powerful strike, Twilight Link was able to cut down the fake! He landed before her as she fell to the ground and transformed into a trophy.

“That should be it” Twilight Link said in relief as he faced her.

She was covered in darkness as Yoshi joined his side.

“Yoshi! (Nice job, Link!)” Yoshi said in relief as Twilight Link put the Master Sword away.

Something about this situation bothered him. How could she do this? Who had the power to do this? It bothered him deeply. Meanwhile, Mario had caught a glance of the fight and saw Twilight Link standing before a defeated Peach in her trophy form.

“Hey! Mario, are you ok?” Pit asked as he noticed Mario was not standing at his side.

The angle returned to Mario’s side and saw what he was staring at. Twilight Link felt a presence and turned around to see Mario and Pit standing behind him. Just then, Peach disappeared in darkness as Mario glared at him.

“Who did that?” Pit asked seriously as he held his bow.

Mario didn’t care as he took a running start and drew his fist back. He then tried to punch Twilight Link who pulled himself back to avoid the incoming punch.

“Mario!” Pit exclaimed at the site of his opponents.

He had an odd feeling, but he knew that they were not their enemies. As much as Pit would’ve liked to talk with Mario about this, he knew Mario wouldn’t listen to him like this. Pit shrugged and decided to just join in on the fight and take out the hero in green. He drew a blue arrow back and then fired it at Twilight Link. Twilight Link was stuck on defense as he tried to take all their attacks.

“Please! Wait!” he said as he tried to reason with them.

Yoshi then rammed his head to knock Mario and Pit away! Twilight Link was able to catch his breath and take a moment to rest with Yoshi in front of him.

“Why is he so mad?” Twilight Link asked in a tired manner.

“Yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi. (That is Mario. I don’t know who the angel with him. Mario must’ve seen you fight with the fake Peach. He’s angry. We will have to defeat him and his friend)” Yoshi answered as he prepared to fight the person he promised to protect.

Twilight Link was surprised to hear this until he understood Mario’s rage. Twilight Link promised to protect his Twilight Zelda from any harm. Twilight Link reasoned that Mario must’ve made the same vow to Peach. Twilight Link calmed himself down, picked himself up, and prepared for another round.

“I am ready, Yoshi. Tell me what I need to do” Twilight Link said as he held the Master Sword in one hand while he had a bow in the other hand.

“Yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi. (I can handle Mario. You take care of the angel)” Yoshi answered as he then took off and prepared to kick Mario.

Twilight Link nodded his head as he then focused on the angel. Pit charged at Twilight Link. Twilight Link drew his sword back and then swung it to try and strike the angel. Pit noticed the strike as his wings glowed a blue light. He flew upward to avoid the strike! Twilight Link was surprised to see Pit flying, but he got another idea. He pulled out his hock shott and then fired it to have grab Pit’s ankle!

“What?” Pit asked surprised as Twilight Link then pulled Pit towards him, “Woah!”

Pit was screaming as Twilight Link then dropped a bomb on the angel! Pit screamed in pain as he felt dizzy from the explosion while Twilight Link charged up his strike and then spun on his feet to spin quickly and strike Pit multiple times! Pit let out a cry as he felt the damage and then was knocked to the ground! Twilight Link took his chance and jumped in the air with the Master Sword above his head.

“Hiyah!” Twilight Link yelled as he then slammed the Master Sword on Pit!

Pit tried to raise the Palutena Bow to block the strike, but Twilight Link was too powerful and defeated Pit!

“I’m finished…” Pit whispered in pain as he was defeated and forced into his trophy form.

Twilight Link panted as he glanced to Yoshi and Mario. They were fighting and close to countering each other almost every time they threw a punch and kick. Twilight Link then looked at the angel who was transformed into a trophy. Twilight Link picked himself up and prepared to help Yoshi anyway he knew how.

“Yoshi! Yoshi! (Mario! Stop!)” Yoshi shouted as he tried to reason with the red plumber.

Mario didn’t stop and threw fireballs at the green dinosaur. Yoshi jumped and ran across the air to avoid the fire. Then, he swung his tail to have it clash against the incoming punch from Mario! Mario then pulled out F.L.U.D.D to splash water against Yoshi and causing him to slip! Yoshi fell on his back and then saw Mario charging his fist! Yoshi prepared to block it. Twilight Link dove in front of Yoshi and held the Hylian shield in front of himself to block the powered-up punch!

“Yoshi! Are you ok?” Twilight Link asked as he glanced to Yoshi.

“Yoshi, yoshi. Yoshi, yoshi. (I am ok. But Mario isn’t giving up)” Yoshi answered as he stood up and prepared for another fight.

Twilight Link nodded his head as he then drew his bow and arrow. He fired the arrow at Mario who either punched or blocked it. Mario continued to charge towards him, but Twilight Link held the Master Sword. He took a glance to Yoshi who simply nodded his head. Mario then jumped and punched the Hylian Shield. Twilight Link swung the Master Sword next to strike against Mario’s side. Mario grunted in pain and jumped back. Yoshi then ran towards Twilight Link as he kneeled on the ground. He raised his shield as Yoshi jumped on it. Twilight Link pushed Yoshi upward who then charged up a kick. Mario was surprised as he tried to get away. Twilight Link used his hock shoot to hold Mario in place! Mario couldn’t get away as Yoshi then kicked Mario in the gut! Mario gasped in pain as then Twilight Link charged forward to swing the Master Sword to defeat him in one strike! Mario let out a defeated grunt as he was defeated and transformed into his trophy form.

“Finally,” Twilight Link said in relief as he was panting while Yoshi stood at his side.

They were able to stand together and stop them, but they were exhausted. However, they heard something coming towards them. It was King Dedede driving Wario’s bike and the cart holding the many trophies. Twilight Link gasped as he noticed Twilight Zelda in her trophy form!

“Zelda” he whispered in a surprised tone as he tried to reach out to her.

King Dedede then grabbed the trophy forms of Mario and Pit, but he sped pass Zelda and Kirby! Zelda out a surprised yell as Kirby jumped on the cart.

“Yes!” King Dedede exclaimed at the site of the trophies in his grasp.

However, he soon gasped in shock when he saw Kirby! Kirby then swung his sword and cut Mario and Pit free to then tapping their golden platforms. Mario and Pit were freed as Pit saw King Dedede coming towards them.

“Stop him!” Twilight Link shouted with worry as Pit drew back his bow and fried the arrow to strike the bike.

King Dedede let out a wail as he couldn’t control the bike as it crashed the bike down the road. Pit and Mario faced Twilight Link and Yoshi as Kirby landed before them.

“Are we ok now?” Pit asked as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“I think so” Twilight Link said as he turned to Mario, “I do apologize, but the lady I fought was not your lady. She was a being made of the darkness, but I do need your help. My lady was just taken away, and I would like to save her. Please help me save her. I will help you save your lady next”

Mario turned to Twilight Link and waited for a moment. He then nodded his head and gave Twilight Link a thumbs up. Yoshi let out a delightful cheer as he rushed to embrace Mario. Yoshi was worried about him as Pit and Twilight Link were grateful to see them getting along now. They looked at Kirby who was happy to see everyone getting along very well.

“Kirby!” Zelda shouted as she rushed to him and stopped when her eyes fell on Twilight Link, “You’re not my Link, are you?”

Twilight Link was surprised too as he faced her. He then took the Master Sword and kneeled before her.

“Regardless of that, it is my duty to help you, Princess Zelda. I am your Hero of Time. I will help you” he reassured her as she was flattered by his vow.

“Thank you, Link” she said as she held her hand out, “Please rise and then follow me. I saw where the bike crashed in the distance. We have to reach it and awaken our captive friends”

Twilight Link rose and put the Master Sword away before nodding. He looked at everyone who nodded their heads in agreement. They ran after Zelda and towards the bike to save their friends. They were heading towards a distant castle as a few of their villains were planning something together.

In the castle, Bowser was ordering his minions to march forward and search the area. However, there was a Lakitu was holding a camera as he floated towards his king’s side.

“I have a message from both Ganondorfs” Lakitu announced to his king as he held the camera in front of him.

Bowser waited for the Ganondorfs to speak with him.

“How is our mission fairing?” Ganondorf of Twilight spoked first to face Bowser with Ganondorf at his side.

“Ok, we are collecting as many heroes as we can” Bowser announced at Ganondorf stepped up and pointed at the map ahead of him.

“Then go forth to the castle and find more heroes” he ordered seriously, “Our leader requires more of them for his powers to grow and rise”

Bowser simply nodded his head as Lakitu took the camera away. Bowser faced his minions and then waved his hand.

“Go forward and find the trophies! Bring the heroes to us in their trophy form!” Bowser ordered seriously.

The minions let out a hearty yell and began their search for the other heroes in their trophy forms.

Chapter Text

“Are you sure you know where his Charizard is?” Green asked annoyed as Ririri was floating at her side, “I feel like we’ve been walking for hours!”

Red shrugged as he continued to walk forward while Lucas was walking behind them. Lucas was still thinking about Ness and how he was taken by Wario. Lucas wanted to save Ness somehow, but Lucas wasn’t sure how he could even do that. He slumped behind them as Red and Green took a glance at him and then each other.

“I hope he’s ok” Green whispered to Red.

“I do too” Red replied, “But something must be bothering him. I don’t want to push him to open to us, but I also don’t know what we can do to comfort him”

Just then, Blasty popped out of Green’s pokeball and rushed up to Lucas. Lucas jumped as he saw the tiny turtle, but Squritle held a warm expression. Then, the turtle blew some bubbles in the air and around Lucas was surprised as he saw the bubbles sparkling against the sunlight. Red, Green, and Ririri then approached him warmly as Red held out his hand to him.

“We don’t know what happened, but I promise we will do everything we can to help you” Red reassured Lucas with a grin.

“And you’re not alone in this either. We are going to stay with you until you are ready” Green added as Ririri hopped from her arms and stood in front of Lucas for him to pet.

Lucas nervously glanced at them before slowly reaching out his hand and petting Ririri’s head. Ririri cooed happily as Lucas let out a small laugh. Red and Green were relieved to see Lucas in better spirits, but their peaceful moment did not last for long.

“Hiyah!” a loud, young voice shouted as they saw someone riding a boat and ramming the boat towards a temple in the distance!

Green blinked as Red, Blasty, and Lucas ran towards it.

“What just happened?!” she exclaimed as she then recovered and followed them with Ririri hovering behind her.

Red, Blasty, and Lucas slid across the sandy hill and were reaching the bottom to where the entrance to a temple resided.

“What do you want?!” Wario exclaimed as Red stopped Lucas before he charged into the fight.

“Isn’t that Link?” Green wondered as she caught up with them.

“Do you know him?” Red asked cautiously.

“Yeah, he’s a friend, but I don’t remember him being so small nor jumpy” Green answered as Ririri nodded her head in agreement.

“Is he a friend?” Lucas asked nervously.

“Yes. Whatever version of him is here, he is always a hero and friend” Green reassured him as Red held Blasty’s pokeball.

“Wait for the right moment to attack” Red advised them as they nodded in agreement.

Toon Link stood tall and against Wario who simply laughed at him. Toon Link then drew his Master Sword and charged at Wario. Toon Link jumped and slammed his Master Sword against Wario to knock him back into a wall! Wario let out a surprised yell as Toon Link landed on the ground with the Master Sword glowing in his left hand.

“Ok, you might’ve gotten a lucky hit, but I won’t let you get in another!” Wario said as he pulled out a gun!

Wario powered up the gun and fired as Toon Link quickly ran around to avoid the blasts. Toon Link tripped and hit the ground as Wario laughed at him. Wario aimed the gun at Toon Link who held up his shield to take the attack. Lucas let out a panicked yell at the site of it as Red jumped and threw Blasty’s pokeball towards it. The pokeball opened against the gun as Blasty popped out!

“Blasty! Water Gun! And then use Mega Punch on the gun!” Red ordered as he rushed to grab Toon Link and pull him to safety.

Wario was caught off guard as Blasty blasted water in his face! Wario let out a grabble sound as Blasty drew his glowing fist. Blasty then punched the gun to break it in half! Blasty backflipped and landed in front of Red and Toon Link.

“Hey! Who do you think you are?!” Wario exclaimed as he wiped some of the water off his face and glared at Red.

“Stopping you from hurting anyone” Red answered firmly as he placed Toon Link on the ground and faced Wario, “Hey! Lucas! Is this the person who hurt you?”

Lucas gasped as he looked up at Red. Lucas was amazed at how strong and courageous Red was being.

“We noticed he made you panic” Green answered firmly as Ririri floated in front of them, “So, if he’s the person who hurt you, let us return the favor”

Lucas looked up to her as she held an excited expression. Wario glared at them as he shook himself.

“Don’t think you can stop me just because you have more fighters!” Wario snarled as he put up his fists, “I will defeat you and take you back to my partner!”

Red smirked as Green rolled her eyes at them.

“Well, we’re stronger together and can defeat anyone in our way!” Red answered strongly, “Blasty make him slip! Use your Water Gun attack again!”

Blasty jumped and sprayed water on the ground around Wario. Toon Link saw his chance and slide on the water with a bomb in his hands. Wario clapped his hands to stun Blasty, but he was unaware of Toon Link advancement. Toon Link dropped the bomb and then used his shield to slide away as it exploded before Wario!

“Wah!” Wario exclaimed as he was knocked back.

He crashed into a wall as Green then pointed at him while Ririri rolled towards him. Ririri crashed her entire body into his gut as he cried out in pain!

“Lucas! Go!” Red encouraged as Lucas gasped in a surprised tone.

Red flashed a confident smile at him as Lucas glanced to Green who smiled in delight. Lucas calmed himself down as he charged up his lighting attack. He then launched himself forward to strike Wario down! Lucas bounced back while Red and Toon Link stood in front of him.

“Had enough?” Red asked seriously as Blasty jumped to his side.

Wario struggled to pick himself up and climb through the rubble. He glared at them as he forced himself to stand up. He then spun his fist as he rammed himself towards Ririri first! He punched the Balloon Pokémon away as Green let out a worried yell. Wario took his chance to tackle Toon Link! Toon Link let out a panicked yell as Wario then grabbed him! Wario spun around and threw Toon Link at Blasty!

“Blasty!” Red shouted with worry.

Lucas was surprised as he then saw Wario standing before him! Lucas let out a panicked cry as he was shaking. Red gasped as he saw the young boy cowering in fear.

“Don’t give up, Lucas! You can do this!” Red shouted with all his encouragement.

Lucas did his best to calm himself down and then pushed his hands forward.

“PK Fire!” Lucas cried with all his might to strike Wario in his chest with fire!

Wario let out a painful gasp as he blasted into a wall and forced to transform into a trophy! Lucas was standing up and panting heavily. Did he really just do that? Did he defeat the person who took his best friend away?

“Lucas!” Green shouted with concern as she rushed to him while Red checked on Blasty.

Toon Link checked on the trophy form of Wario and was relieved to see him stunned.

“You did it!” Red exclaimed in delight as he rushed to Lucas and held out his hand for a high five.

Lucas felt utter joy. He did it! He stopped Wario! Lucas jumped and gave Red a high five, but he soon realized something important. Ness wasn’t present. Lucas’s moment of joy disappeared, and his sadness appeared. He slumped his shoulders in defeat as Green placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry” Green promised him, “We will find your friend together”

“Yeah, after all, we are still searching for our missing friends as well” Red reassured him, “And we are going in that temple to find them!”

As he prepared to enter it, Green grabbed his arm and stopped him from leaving. Red was surprised as Green turned to Toon Link who was happily waving to Lucas.

“Oh, right. The other Link” Red said as he looked at him, “So, I am Red. This is Green and that’s Lucas. Who are you?”

Toon Link grinned at them as he took out the invitation and handed it to them. Red glanced to Green who shrugged.

“I guess all the Links do this” Green explained as Red took the invitation and opened it to read it.

“What does it say?” Lucas asked curiously.

“His name is Link, but he prefers to call himself Toon Link, because there are three Links competing in this tournament” Red answered as he returned to the invitation to him, “Welcome aboard, Toon Link! We’ve got to find our friends and go after those who are causing the trouble here!”

Toon Link cheered and ran into the temple. Green held out her hands to have Ririri land in her arms. They walked after Toon Link. The temple was old and just ruins.

“Are you sure Saur and Charizard are here?” Green asked unsure.

Toon Link gave him a puzzled look as Red took out his pokedex. He held it in front of himself and looked at the map before him. He saw Saur’s icon closer to them and Blue’s Charizard’s icon was deeper in the temple. He gave it to Green to look at. She was surprised and nodded her head at him.

“Ok, then let’s keep going” Green said as she returned his pokedex to him.

Toon Link held a curious expression as Lucas asked, “Did you lose your friends too?”

“Yeah” Red answered as he carefully walked in front of them with Toon Link besides him, “My good friend Yellow and Pika were knocked away from us the moment we entered this world. As for my Saur and Blue’s Charizard, they were knocked off my belt and scattered to here”

“Why did that happen?” Lucas asked curiously.

“We don’t know, but when Red, Ririri, and I woke up, we found ourselves away from our friends and in a new location. We checked our invitations and discovered that we were in the tournament” Green finished explaining, “So, now we are looking for them and promised to stop the threat”

Toon Link nodded as he continued to walk forward and hold his shield in front of him. Red grinned at Lucas as he took a step down from the uneven steps. Toon Link glanced to his friends and then ran on ahead, much to Red’s confusion.

“Hey, Toon Link, is everything ok?” Red called after him as he held out his hand to let Green use to carefully step down from it.

They didn’t hear him and carefully walked after him. They found him standing and looking for something as Lucas sighed in relief seeing him ok.

“Hey, why did you run off like that?!” Green asked annoyed as she walked to his side.

Toon Link jumped to tackle her away from the edge of the floor! She let go of Ririri as she saw her Balloon Pokémon falling! Lucas rushed to try and grab her, but he missed her! Lucas and Toon Link screamed as Red and Green were both calm. Lucas stopped screaming and pulled Toon Link’s arm to try and stop him from screaming. The two kids stared at Red and Green as they held a reassuring expression.

“Is everything ok?” Lucas asked unsure.

Green held her arms out as Ririri floated back to her! Toon Link cheered in relief as Lucas sighed.

“Don’t worry, Ririri can float” Red said as he turned to the dark abyss and then looked forward to see the other side where a golden door was, “I think Ririri will have to be our way to the other side. Can she carry us to the other side?”

“She should be able to, but let’s take turns. I’ll go first with Toon Link” Green said as she then turned to Ririri in her arms, “Ririri, can you carry us to the other side please?”

The pink puff ball nodded her head and took a big breath of air to make herself bigger. Green then took Toon Link’s hand and ran forward! Toon Link was screaming as they jumped and then landed on Ririri’s back! Green gently patted Ririri’s head as they floated towards the other side. Toon Link carefully patted Ririri’s head and was surprised at how soft it was!

“Yep! Ririri’s super soft. Don’t worry, we will be there soon enough” Green reassured him as they were halfway through the gap.

Red raised his fist in the air in triumph as Lucas watched in awe. However, they heard something coming towards them as they turned their attention behind them. They were surprised to see Primids storming into the temple and charging after them!

“Red!” Green shouted with worry as Toon Link drew his bow and arrow to prepare himself for a fight.

“Get to the other side and find the way to Saur and Charizard” Red ordered seriously, “We need to find those two before anything else happens to them. Lucas, Blasty, and I can handle this”

Green knew Red was right and sighed in a frustrated manner. She focused on the way forward and saw the area before them. She placed a hand on Toon Link’s head to direct his attention to the front.

“Look, I know this temple is just like the many others I’ve been to before” Green explained, “So, let’s find a way to reach them and get rid of the Primids”

Toon Link nodded his head as he put his bow and arrows away before focusing forward. Red tossed out Blasty as Lucas powered his PK energy. Red, Blasty, and Lucas charged forward to fight the Primids. Blasty used “Water Gun” to spray water on the ground and cause the Primids to slip. Lucas then cast PK Thunder to zap the Primids. Lucas then cast PK Freeze to freeze a few. Blasty used “Hydro Cannon” and “Mega Punch” to defeat the Primids coming towards them.

“How long do we have to keep doing this?” Lucas asked as he felt his powers draining with each attack.

“Don’t give up” Red said seriously as he rushed to help Lucas stand up while Blasty rushed to fight the rest of the Primids, “If I know Green, she will be thinking of some crafty trick to help us and find the two Pokémon”

Lucas was surprised to see Red have such faith in his friends, but Lucas stood up and prepared to fight the Primids again. He pushed Red back as Lucas took a stance and prepared to swing his baseball bat to beat the incoming Primids with it! Red cheered as Blasty then jumped in the air and used “Hydro Cannon” again to blast the Primids back. Red stood back up and continued to fight with them.

“Ok, come on!” Green said in a stubborn tone as Ririri landed on the other side of the temple, “We need to find a mechanism to help them”

Toon Link nodded as he took off in front of her.

She then turned to Ririri to order, “You have to find Saur and Charizard. Once you’ve located them, come back to me”

Ririri nodded her head and charged up “Rollout” to then lung forward deeper into the temple. Green then ran after Toon Link when she heard him fighting some Primids. Green stood behind him and opened her bag to take out the Sliph Co lenses to look at their surroundings. She searched for anything out of the ordinary as Toon Link let out a yell and ran towards the Primids with his Master Sword in hand. He would jump higher with the Master Sword raised above his head and then slammed it on the ground to blow the Primids away.

“Hah!” Toon Link shouted to Green who would ran after him and still search for anything to help them.

Toon Link spun a bit to knock a few Primids away until Green gasped when she looked up to find a secret wall to the right of them.

“Toon Link! Throw a bomb there!” she shouted as the cartoonish Link put his sword away and took out a bomb.

He slid underneath a Primid and then chucked the bomb as it was glowing red. The bomb exploded against the old, dusty wall and revealed a hidden room! Green cheered as she rushed to the room and searched for a lever or anything to help Red, Blasty, and Lucas.

“Come on, come on. Give me something” she urged herself as she searched for anything to help them.

Red, Blasty, and Lucas were panting as they continue to fight the Primids.

“Ok, maybe we should try a combo move of sorts” Red suggested to Lucas who nodded his head.

Blasty landed in front of them as he panted heavily and was on all fours.

“Alright, Blasty, use Hydro Cannon! Aim in the middle of the group!” Red shouted as he waved his hand towards it.

Blasty nodded his head, jumped, landed on his tail, and then unleashed one more powerful blast of water! It struck some of the Primids and water sprayed everywhere and onto the rest of the Primids.

“Lucas use that electric power you have! Aim right at the blast of water Blasty unleashed” Red ordered as Lucas picked himself up and looked at the powerful blast of water.

Lucas waved his hands to unleash a powerful “PK Thunder” that zapped throughout the powerful blast of water! The attack zapped the Primids by using the water! The electricity struck the Primids standing in the water and being splashed by it! Lucas was surprised to see the Primids defeated, but more were coming to them! Red, Blasty, and Lucas were exhausted as they collapsed on their feet.

“Come on, Green…” Red whispered urgently as he looked at Blasty and Lucas.

Green and Toon Link searched and searched for anything that could help them until Toon Link tripped over an uneven floor piece. He was surprised as he then jumped to slam his Master Sword against it. He broke the uneven panel and found a hidden switch! He shouted for Green as she rushed and flipped the switch. The temple shook as a trap door opened underneath Primids before Red, Blasty, and Lucas and vanished!

“Did that just happen?” Lucas asked confused as Red let out a hearty cheer.

“She did it!” Red yelled in delight as he raised aa fist and then fell on his back.

Green and Toon Link sighed in relief when they heard Red’s cheerful yell as they shared a smile. She stood up, dusted herself off and nodded. They returned to the other side and found their friends alive and well.

“Hey! You three ok?!” Green shouted as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

“Yeah! Thanks, Green!” Red shouted in relief as he turned to her and noticed Ririri wasn’t with her, “Hey! Where’s Ririri?!”

“She went to find your Saur and Charizard” Green answered, “She’ll be back soon. Uh, do you have a way to get across?”

Red shook his head as he returned Blasty back to his pokeball to rest. Lucas looked around for anything. Toon Link glanced around and noticed an uneven piece on the wall. He pulled out a bomb and threw it against it to break it! Green jumped until she noticed the switch. She flipped it as a walkway formed between them! Red and Lucas were relieved as they helped each other stand up and walk towards their friends. Green then supported Red as Toon Link helped Lucas. The four of them walked down the hall and went further down the temple. Ririri rolled back to them and popped up before the two trainers.

“Oh! Ririri! Did you find them?” Green asked warmly as Red waved to Ririri.

Ririri nodded her head as she glanced to her trainer who nodded. Ririri landed on the ground and walked forward to led them to Saur and Charizard. They walked further down until Ririri stopped as they entered a room and found Saur in his trophy form! Red gasped in relief as he rushed towards him.

“Oh! Saur! You’re ok! Don’t worry, I am here now” Red said in relief as he opened Saur’s pokeball and returned his Pokémon to him.

“Just one more to go” Green said as she turned to Toon Link and Lucas.

Both nodded their heads as Ririri motioned with her tiny hands to follow her. They walked a little deeper until they heard a roar. Ririri jumped at that as Red and Green shared a concerned expression.

“What was that?” Lucas asked nervously as Toon Link prepared himself for a fight.

“That roar. It couldn’t be who I think it is, do you?” Red asked as he looked at Green.

“It is. It has to be” Green said as she ran on ahead with Ririri at her side.

Toon Link and Lucas noticed Red’s serious expression as Lucas asked nervously, “What is happening?”

“The friend Green and I were searching for is here. However, he sounds angry and that’s what we are worried about” Red confirmed, “So, please be ready for anything. This is a dangerous fight ahead of us since this Pokémon was from my friend who was also my rival”

Red walked ahead of them as he held the two pokeballs in his hands while Toon Link and Lucas behind him. They reached Green and Ririri who were standing in the center of the circular room with torches lit around them. Red was at her side as he searched for the source of the roar.

“What happened to him?” Green whispered with concern.

There was silence around them as Red readied himself. There was another roar as they stood in a circle and searched for the source of it. Then, the room became warm as Lucas could feel the sweat. Then, Red noticed something warm coming towards him and jumped away!

“Red!” Green shouted with concern as Lucas rushed to Red to extend his hand.

Red slammed the two pokeballs on the ground to released Saur and Blasty as Red felt the same wave of heat again. There was a roar as a powerful flame was blasted between him and the two Pokémon! Red rolled away from the fire as he looked up to see the last Pokémon they were searching for.

“Well, we found you, Charizard” Red said calmly, “I am sorry this happened to you, but we are here to save you”

Charizard was flying in the air and had a dark aura around itself. Toon Link took out a hook shoot as Lucas’s hand gave off some psychic powers. Ririri stood in front of Green as Saur and Blasty were ready for a fight.

“Charizard’s weakness is rock, water, and electricity!” Red shouted as he ran away from his friends as Charizard unleashed another “Flamethrower” after him.

“Except none of us have Pokémon that know moves like that!” Green countered as she snapped her fingers, “I could have Ririri use “Sing”. That could give us an edge”

“Yeah, but Ririri will have to be quick” Red replied as Toon Link let out a yell to gain their attention, “Go for it, Toon Link!”

The cartoon style of Link was quicker and ran to Saur’s side. Toon Link aimed the hook shoot at Charizard’s tail. Toon Link fired the hook shoot to grab onto Charizard’s tail! Charizard let out a pained yell as he turned his attention to them. He glared as Red took a moment to catch his breath.

“Ririri get ready to “Sing”” Green ordered as Ririri stood with Blasty.

“Blasty, I know you have to listen to me, but support your trainer and Ririri! Saur help Toon Link grab Charizard!” Red ordered as he swiped his hand in front of him.

Blasty stood behind Ririri as Green blinked at her Squritle while Saur unleashed his vines to have it tie onto one of Charizard’s feet. Saur and Toon Link pulled Chairzard back with all their might. Charizard growled as he then dived towards them! Toon Link and Saur tripped and fell as Green gripped her hands and prepared herself.

“Blasty use your “Water Gun” and blast Ririri at Charizard!” Green ordered as she waved her hand and pointed at the incoming Charizard.

Blasty jumped and spout “Water Gun” from his mouth and blasted Ririri towards Charizard. Charizard opened his mouth as fire was gathering from it and prepared to attack them! Ririri then jumped on Charizard’s chest and began to sing!

“Everyone cover your ears!” Red shouted as he and Green covered theirs.

Toon Link did as Saur used his vines to cover his. Charizard tried to shake off Ririri, but he was growing weary and sleepy. Ririri floated above the sleepy Charizard as he crashed towards the ground!

“Everyone get away!” Red warned as he waved his hand at his friends.

Ririri puffed up to have Green, Blasty, and Saur ride on and escape while Toon Link grabbed Lucas’s hand and used his hook shoot to get away. Red sighed in relief as Charizard crashed on the temple’s stone floor. He approached Charizard with his pokeball in his hands as the others were watching from afar.

“Is he ok?” Green shouted with worry in her voice.

“He should be asleep and a little hurt. Nothing major” Red answered as he held the pokeball in his hands, “But he will recover once he is in his pokeball”

As Red opened the pokeball, Charizard shook himself awake and roared at Red!

“Red!” Green exclaimed with worry as Saur cried out with worry for his trainer.

Lucas used his psychic energy to propel himself forward and grab onto Charizard’s head! Charizard let out a frustrated growl as he tried to shake off Lucas.

“Lucas! Get off!” Red warned as Toon Link let out a yell and charged at Charizard, “Toon Link, don’t do it!”

Toon Link swung his Master Sword to only strike with the blunt end. He wasn’t doing much damage to Charizard, but it was enough to distract Charizard from Lucas. Green and Red were worried for them as Lucas raised one hand above Charizard’s head.

“PK Thunder!” Lucas shouted as thunder crashed on Charizard and him!

Toon Link back flipped away and gasped as Red and Green were stunned. Charizard let out a painful roar before wobbling and falling to the ground. He fainted as Lucas carefully hopped off and floated to the ground. Lucas stared at the defeated Charizard and sighed at its defeated form. Red quickly ran towards Charizard and threw the pokeball to return Charizard back to his pokeball. The pokeball returned to Red’s hand as he sighed in relief.

“Are you ok?” Green asked as she rushed to Lucas and hopped off Ririri.

Saur rushed to Red to embrace his trainer as he looked at Lucas and Toon Link.

“Yeah, that was a risky move. Though, you did use a super effective type against Charizard. Thanks for defeating him for me” Red said with a grin.

Toon Link grinned in agreement as Lucas blushed, embarrassed by their complements. Red then held out Saur’s pokeball and then held Blasty’s pokeball above his head. He returned both Pokémon to their respective pokeballs and then looked up. Charizard could carry them out of here once he is at full health.

“Why don’t we take a moment to rest?” Red suggested to them, “We found our friends. Now, we have to Lucas’s friend next”

Lucas gasped at him as he gave Lucas a grin. Green immediately sat down as Ririri sat next to her trainer.

“Oh, thank Arceus. I am exhausted after all of that!” Green exclaimed in relief as she patted Ririri’s head.

With that, the group rested on the bottom of the temple and then plan their next course of action to save Ness.

“Do you think we are closer to the source of the darkness?” Marth asked Ike and Meta Knight as they were walking through the desert.

“I am sure” Ike said as he kneeled on the ground and checked it for tracks, “There are some kind of tire tracks. They must’ve bee transporting something across the desert”

Marth nodded as he looked at their floating companion. Meta Knight was still quiet and keeping his thoughts to himself about their situation. Meta Knight couldn’t believe he lost his ship to them, but he also couldn’t believe he encountered one of the fighters Kirby spoke of. He was fortunate for that, but he was wondering if this was fate.

“Hold it!” Ike whispered harshly as he held his left hand out to stop themselves from walking forward.

“What is it, Ike?” Marth asked as he gripped the hilt of his sword.

The Radiant Hero remained quiet as he closed his eyes. Meta Knight held his sword as he waited. Something wasn’t right about their situation. Something was off. Ike could hear a faint humming sound and slowly looked up. He could hear it coming from the sky and held his hand above his eyes to block out the sun. He stared at the sky until he noticed a black speck coming towards themselves.

“Get back” Ike said in disbelief.

“What?” Meta Knight asked as he turned to him.

The speck was approaching them as Ike’s eyes widen in fear!

“Get back!” he yelled as he tackled himself, Marth, and Meta Knight to the ground to avoid the incoming dark speck.

There was a loud crash as Marth looked up and saw a giant mechanical monster in front of them!

“What is that?” Marth asked in a stunned expression.

Ike turned around to see the mechanical monster while Meta Knight steeled himself for a fight.

“That is Galleom” Meta Knight answered firmly, “A robot from our world. It caused some chaos here and there, but we were able to do everything we could to stop it from trying to destroy much of anything”

Ike picked himself up, held Ragnell in front of himself, and stated strongly, “Then, let’s take care of it together. We can’t let it harm anything else near us!”

Marth drew Falchion, held himself high, and agreed in a strongly tone as well, “I agree. We cannot let it harm others. We shall do what we must to stop it!”

The three of them then pointed their swords at Galleom and charged. Ike rushed forward to swing his blade against the incoming punch from the robot. The robot and Ike were knocked from the recoil as Marth lunged forward to strike the palm of the robot’s hand! The robot stumbled back and held it as Marth landed in front of Ike.

“Meta Knight. You know everything about this opponent of ours. How do we defeat him?” Marth asked as Ike picked himself up and gripped Ragnell again.

“Aim for the feet and legs. If we can cripple it, it will be easier for us to defeat!” Meta Knight shouted as he dove to continuously strike the robot with his sword.

Marth nodded his head in understanding as Ike got an idea.

“I am not going to be rude, but I believe I have the strongest strength among us here” Ike informed them, “I should be able to knock one leg down”

Marth took that into consideration as he as Meta Knight flying, avoiding Galleom’s attacks, and striking back with his blade in hand. Marth was formulating a plan and then factored in his skills before nodding his head.

“Meta Knight! Keep distracting the machine!” Marth ordered seriously as he swung Falchion to counter the incoming punch from the robot, “Ike, I will cut a path. Once it is clear, charge forward and unleash a powerful strike”

Ike nodded his head as Meta Knight replied, “Understood King Marth!”

Marth and Meta Knight swung their blades to clash against the steel of the robot while Ike stood still held his blade in his right hand. He was charging up his attacks as he eyed his friends. Marth swung Falchion to clash against the hands that were coming to crush on him. Meta Knight then flew directly towards the face to slash it! Galleom let out a painful grunt as he stepped back and tried to cover his face.

“Ike! Go!” Marth ordered as he landed to the right of Ike.

“Harah!” Ike yelled as he unleashed the building speed and power as he lunged at Galleom.

In one, strong strike, Ike swung Ragnell in a horizontal slash to strike Galleom. He cracked Galleom’s chest as he stumbled backward to falling on the ground. Ike then raised Ragnell and jumped in the air.

“Yarh!” he shouted as he summersaulted forward to slam the blade on the robot, “Great Aether!”

Marth and Meta Knight were watching their friend in a determined tone as Ike was about to deliver the final blow. Ike cut down Galleom and slammed his blade on the ground as well. Galleom seemed to break and malfunctioning.

“There, that should be it” Ike said as he raised his head and slowly turned to face Galleom.

However, the ground began to crack as Ike looked surprised and looked down at his feet.

“Ike, move!” Marth shouted with worry as Meta Knight flew right towards Ike.

Meta Knight grabbed Ike by his waist and flew away from the breaking ground. Galleom raised his hand to grab them, but they were able to return to Marth’s side before they could be taken with him. Marth rushed to them to check on his friends. They were fine, but they were caught off guard. They took a moment to rest, but they didn’t realize Galleom fell into a temple where the other fighters were resting at.

Toon Link heard a cracking noise as he looked up to see the roof breaking apart.

“Is something wrong, Toon Link?” Lucas asked as he noticed Toon Link was looking up.

He and the others soon followed his gaze and faced the roof. They heard a crack and saw the roof breaking!

“Get away!” Red shouted as they ran away from the collapsing roof.

They were screaming as they were avoiding the debris and the giant robot! Green and Lucas hit the floor as Red and Toon Link were able to land on their feet.

“What the heck is that thing?!” Green exclaimed as she held Ririri.

“I don’t know, but I know this. That robot is not on our side” Red answered determinedly as he held Blasty’s, Saur’s, and Charizard’s pokeballs, “Everyone! We will have to fight our way out of here!”

Green let go of Ririri who held a determined expression, Toon Link drew his Master Sword, and Lucas held his hand with psychic energy sparking from it.

Chapter Text

King Dedede whimpered in pain from the crash, but he was so happy to see the trophy forms of Twilight Zelda, Luigi, and Ness still with him. He carried all three to the castle and placed them in front of the red throne. He grinned at them as he used his blue flipper to dust them off.

“Ah!” he said in realization as he took out three golden badges from his pocket.

He placed one on Twilight Zelda’s shoulder, another Luigi’s nose, and the last one on Ness’s shirt. Satisfied, he placed his hands on his hips and smiled. However, he jumped when he heard something cracking and looked up to see the roof breaking apart! He let out a surprised yell as the roof fell and crashed on top of him! He was knocked out and reverted into his trophy form. Most of the debris fell on top of the trophy forms of Luigi and Ness, but the trophy form of Twilight Zelda’s was knocked away. Koopas, Gombas, and Shy Guys jumped from the broken roof and went to searching. Bowser then jumped down to be with his minions and searching with them.

“Find any fighters and bring them to me” Bowser ordered.

His minions were moving some of the debris away as Bowser gazed over them. He was searching too as his eyes fell on Twilight Zelda’s trophy on the side. He grinned at the site of it and went to pick her up. As Bowser picked up the trophy, there was a loud bang. He and his minions turned their attention to see Twilight Link, Yoshi, Mario, Pit, Kirby, and Zelda burst through and stood at the entrance.

“Zelda!” Twilight Link exclaimed as he drew his Master Sword and pointed it at Bowser.

“Minions stop them!” Bowser ordered as he ran through the castle and fled from them.

The fighters were preparing themselves for a fight.

“We have to break through to them and reach her trophy!” Zelda informed them as she cast Din’s fire magic to strike a few Koopas.

The fighters agreed as they rushed to take out the Koopas, Gumbas, and Shy Guys. Pit spun the Palutena’s Bow to strike the incoming Gombas. He knocked a few Koopas back. Mario then jumped on Pit’s head as he raised his flaming fist. He slammed his fist on the ground to throw the minions off balance. Yoshi used his tongue to pull the minions and popped them out as eggs. The minions were trapped in the eggs, so Yoshi swung his tail to knock the eggs into the other minions. Twilight Link let the minions come closer to him as he then spun the Master Sword quickly to strike them down. Kirby floated above them, transformed into a thwomp, and slammed himself on the ground to defeat a few Shy Guys. As they were fighting, Zelda ran around the castle to search for Bowser.

“Come on, come on” she whispered as she continued to search for them.

She then created her knight and waved her hand to have it crash itself against the wall of the castle. She looked through the new hole and found Bowser running!

“He’s escaping!” Zelda shouted as the heroes rushed through the hole and after him.

Kirby remained with her as they let the heroes charge after Bowser to save Twilight Zelda.

“I wonder why she was here. I recall King Dedede being here with a few other trophies. Where did they go?” Zelda wondered as she looked back at the ruined castle for any sign of them.

Kirby floated after her and then walked on the ground. He saw something shiny and ran towards it. He stopped when he saw a King Dedede badge on the ground.

“Puyo?” Kirby asked confused as he tilted his body to the side.

He wondered why the badge was here, but he soon inhaled it. He followed Zelda who was running after their friends. Mario yelled to Yoshi who nodded his head. Mario then jumped on Yoshi who jumped high in the air. Mario bounced off Yoshi with his fist raised in the air.

“Bowser!” Mario yelled at the Koopa King who turned around to face the red plumber.

The Koopa King chuckled as he then held Twilight Zelda in front of him.

“Oh!” Mario said as he directed himself and his pouch to the ground.

Mario landed besides Twilight Link with Yoshi behind them. Bowser ran to the edge of a cliff and turned to face them. Pit drew a blue arrow from the golden bow and fired. Bowser leaned away and then laughed as he was falling!

“No!” Twilight Link shouted until they saw Bowser riding a Koopa copter and laughing at them.

He flew towards a ship as Kiby jumped at the familiar ship.

“Do you know the ship, Kirby?” Zelda asked as she leaned towards him.

“Puyo!” Kirby exclaimed with a serious nod of his head.

“Then, we have to go after it. Are we ready?” Twilight Link asked as they nodded and ran after the ship.

As they depart, Bowser is flying away and reporting to the Ganondorfs about his successful mission.

“You actually have the princess?” Twilight Ganondorf asked impressed and bewildered at the Koopa King’s achievement.

“Hey! Don’t sell me short, Ganondorf of the Twilight Era!” Bowser snapped as he held up Twilight Zelda’s trophy form, “She’s right here! And those pesky heroes can’t do anything about it”

Bowser moved the camera to have them see the heroes running after him on foot. Ganondorf laughed while Twilight Ganondorf remained quiet. Everything was going according to plan. Hopefully, he will finally have a chance to defeat Twilight Link after he ruined all his plans.

“Well, we shall move on to the next phase in our plans” Twilight Ganondorf ordered as the Ancient Minister was flying towards the castle.

He flew over the heroes and continued to his destination as two ROBs were behind him and holding the bomb. The two ROBs prepared themselves as they set the bomb and opened it. The Ancient Minister kept his distance from them as they lowered their heads. The bomb exploded as the Ancient Minister turned away and lowered his head in shame and sadness at the loss of his fellow followers and friends.

“Out of everything I expected to fight in this tournament, this robot was not one of it!” Green shouted as Ririri used “Pound” on it.

“But you did expect to fight one?” Red asked as Blasty used “Bubble Beam”.

“Please stop talking about this and just help us fight” Lucas shouted as he cast a PK Fire at it.

Toon Link used the hook shot to grab onto a part of the wall. He pulled himself above Galleom and raised his Master Sword.

“Hiyah!” Toon Link shouted as he swung the blade with all his might to clash against it.

Galleom swung his arm to knock Toon Link back and then rammed itself against the small Hero of Time. He screamed until he hit the wall.

“Toon Link! Ririri pick him up!” Green shouted as she swiped her hand in front of her.

Ririri floated to Toon Link’s side as Green ran after them. Red and Lucas were facing Galleom with everything they had.

Red swapped Blasty out for Saur and ordered, “Saur use Vine Whip! Grab and hold it down!”

Saur ran forward as his vines appeared and tried to wrap itself around Galleom. Galleom struggled in Saur’s grasp. Lucas took his chance to cast PK Ice to freeze any part of Galleom. Galleom’s feet were frozen as Red prepared to swap Saur for Charizard at the right moment.

“Get ready to use PK Fire and then your baseball bat” Red said as he held the two pokeballs in his hand.

Lucas nodded his head as he then held his hand to cast PK Fire. However, Galleom grew frustrated with their onslaught of attacks and used his strength to break himself free from the vines!

“Oh, no!” Lucas exclaimed as Red held out Saur’s pokeball and returned him.

Red raised Charizard’s pokeball, but Galleom rushed towards them! He grabbed Red and Lucas violently as they struggled to break free from the grip. Red was still holding Charizard’s pokeball until Galleom jerked one way and caused Red to slam his head against the metal fist holding him! Red groaned in pain, blinked a couple of times, and dropped Charizard’s pokeball. Green and Ririri were able to find Toon Link and safely pull him away from the stone wall.

“Oh, that’s not good” Green said as she saw Galleom holding an unconscious Red and shaken Lucas in his hand.

She saw a pokeball on the ground as Toon Link was screaming at the site of his friends being held by Galleom. Green picked it up and was relieved to see Charizard. She tossed him out and hopped on his back as Ririri pulled Toon Link with them.

“Come on, we’ve got to save them!” Green urged.

As Charizard was ready to take off, Galleom activated his jetpack and then flew upward! He smashed through the roof of the building and escaped!

“Ok, time to go!” Green ordered, “Charizard, fly us out of here!”

The Flame Pokémon flew upward and escaped from the collapsing. They were able to escape, but Green and Toon Link looked up to see their friends still being held by Galleom.

“We have to do something!” Green said as she looked at Ririri and Charizard.

She has to give them a command, but she wasn’t sure which one to give. Galleom then opened his chest to open a bomb! Lucas gasped at the site of it while Toon Link screamed in disbelief.

“Now, what can we do about this?!” Green shouted in frustrated manner.

Suddenly, something flew pass them as Green grabbed her hat, Ririri was blown away, and Toon Link fell! She looked up to see something dark blue flying towards Red and Lucas. She was confused until she heard a couple of footsteps running towards them.

“We are sorry about this” Ike said as he called out to them, “I shouldn’t have broken the roof of the temple”

Green was tensed until she saw Marth! Marth bowed to her and held his composure as he faced her.

“It is nice to see you again, Prince Marth” Green said in relief, “But what is going on?”

Marth grinned in relief before turning serious and explaining the fight they had with Galleom and that he is now a king, much to her surprise. Lucas tried to shake himself free from Galleom’s grip and got an idea!

“PK Thunder!” Lucas exclaimed as he created a bolt of lightning to break himself and Red free before Galleom exploded!

Lucas grabbed Red’s head and held him close as they were falling. Lucas cringed and prepared himself to hit the ground, but Meta Knight quickly grabbed them before they could! Lucas gasped at the site of Meta Knight. He flew to the group and gently placed them on the ground.

“Red! Lucas!” Green shouted as she rushed to them with Toon Link, Ririri, and Charizard.

Lucas was shaking Red as he slowly woke up and held his injured head. Red looked at his friends with a grin as Ririri went to heal him.

Green recounted everything that happened to Red as she finished by saying, “And Lucas used his powers to free yourselves. Meta Knight then caught and brought you back to us”

Red laughed in delight as he turned to Lucas and held out his hand to say in relief, “Thanks for the save. I owe you for that”

Lucas grinned as then shook Red’s hand while Green faced Marth.

“It has been a while, King Marth. I assume you and your friends are fighting the same enemies as we are” Green said as she talked with him.

“Yes, and I believe it would be best if we traveled together and find the enemy together” Marth answered her as the groups decided to rest and then continue their travels afterwards.

Chapter Text

The Ancient Minister was preparing another bomb to be used in another location, but he wasn’t happy about this. His fellow ROBs were sacrificing themselves to make their master’s entrance easier between both plans. The Ancient Minister wasn’t sure if this was worth it. A ROB got his attention as there were two others who were holding a bomb between themselves. They pulled the bomb open and stood at its sides as the bomb began to count down. The ROB was waving goodbye to the Ancient Minister who was slowly floating away from them.

“Stop them!” Zelda shouted as she, Kirby, Mario, Twilight Link, Yoshi, and Pit rushed towards the bomb.

Mario and Twilight Link jumped on the two ROBs and tried their hardest to pull the ROBs apart from the bomb as Yoshi and Kirby were trying to break the bomb. The Ancient Minister was surprised to see them attacking the ROBs and wanted to help his friends. Two more ROBs rushed to pull Mario and Twilight Link away as another ROB pushed the Ancient Minister away from them!

“Oh, no!” Mario exclaimed as he tried to reach out to try and stop the ROBs.

The ROBs tossed the fighters away from the bomb as it began to explode!

“I hate to say this, but I can’t actually fly” Pit informed everyone as he panicked at the site of the incoming explosion.

Kirby quickly pulled out the Warp Star as he replied cheerfully, “Puyo!”

“Everyone get on! It will carry us to safety!” Zelda ordered as she hoped on with Kirby.

Twilight Link pulled himself up and held out his hand to help Pit climb on. Mario hopped on Yoshi’s back who took off running. Kirby waved his hand to have the Warp Star move forward and fly them away from the explosion. They were able to escape, but the Ancient Minister was watching from a distance at the site of his friends disappearing in the explosion. The Ancient Minister held his head in shame as he floated away from them.

“I hope Falco is handling everything on his own” Fox said as he was walking besides Link and Diddy Kong while staring at the sky.

“Oak oak! (I am sure he is fine!)” Diddy Kong tried to reassure him as he happily walked ahead of them.

Although Link kept his calm expression, Fox was shaking his head at Diddy Kong. He couldn’t believe Donkey Kong knew him and that he got invited to the tournament. Link liked the jungle and found it relacing compared to the other fighting areas. He could almost relax.

“Ah, a perfect chance to get rid of them” Ganondorf said as he was hiding away from them with the gun in his hands.

He waited as they were having their backs completely turned away from him. Ganondorf chuckled as he then took aim at Diddy Kong. Ganondorf powered up the gun, took an aim, and pulled the trigger. A golden light shot straight through the small gorilla who cried out in pain! Link and Fox were stunned at the site before them. Link pulled Fox pushed Fox away just in case their attacker could attack them.

“Pathetic. Another Hero of Time who couldn’t stop me” Ganondorf said with a dark chuckle as he approached the gorilla who transformed into a trophy, “Claim this form and take down the fighters!”

Link and Fox saw this and lunged at Ganondorf with their weapons in hand. Link jumped up and slammed the Master Sword against the sword Ganondorf summoned! Ganondorf placed the gun behind him as he focused on Link..He gasped as Link glared and lunged at the Demon King. Fox knew Link didn’t like him, so Fox let him handle Ganondorf. Fox rushed to Diddy Kong and placed his hand on the golden stand to wake up Diddy Kong. Diddy Kong let out a surprised yell as he jumped up to his feet.

“Oak oak! (What happened?!)” he shouted in a panic as Fox gestured to Link and Ganondorf.

Ganondorf chuckled as he swung the blade to knock Link back. Link lost his balance and crashed in front of Fox and Diddy Kong. They were both worried for their friend as Ganondorf picked up the gun and aimed it at them! Link raised the Hylian Shield to protect themselves, but a ship was flying towards them.

“Finally found you!” Falco said through the commlinks to Fox, “It took a while, but I am grateful I did. Seriously, the jungle is way thicker than I thought!”

Fox was surprised as he saw Falco’s ship above them! Falco made sure the ship was on autopilot and pressed the ejection button to shoot himself in the air!

“Oh, yeah!” Fox cheered as Falco then dove right at Ganondorf at high speed.

He knocked the gun out of Ganondorf’s hands and then held his two guns to blast it! Ganondorf was surprised as Falco landed before his friends and put his guns into their holsters.

“It looks like it is four against one. I don’t think you’re going to last this long” Falco said confidently until Ganondorf chuckled at them.

“I believe you mean two against four!” he said as he waved his hand.

The darkness that gathered around Diddy Kong’s trophy from earlier took his form! Diddy Kong let out a surprised and confused yell as everyone prepared themselves for a fight.

“Link and Falco handle Ganondorf. Diddy Kong, you’re with me. We’ve got to stop your evil clone!” Fox ordered.

Falco glanced at the Hylian who charged forward and swung the Master Sword at Ganondorf. Ganondorf countered by raising his own sword to block Link’s strike. Falco quickly sped to Ganondorf’s back and took out his blaster as he smirked.

“Time to show the monkey whose boss!” he whispered as he fired and blasted Ganodorf in the back!

The Demon King let out a painful grunt before swinging his sword to slam it against Falco! Link gasped as he threw his shield to have it catch Falco before he pulled out the Sheikah Slate to summon a bomb. Link threw it at the Demon King and threw a boomerang as he rushed to Falco’s side. Link held out a hand to Falco who was laying on the shield.

“Yeah, I’m good. Thanks” Falco said as he used his wing to grab Link’s hand, “Now, let’s finish this!”

Link nodded as they ran towards Ganondorf who could only block the bomb, but not the incoming boomerang. He growled when he saw them rushing to him. Fox was running around the fake Diddy Kong as he held his gun to blast him.

“Oak oak! (Take this!)” Diddy Kong shouted as he jumped up and held his peanut guns.

He fired at the copy who pulled out his own guns and fired back! Their attacks were evenly matched as Diddy Kong let out another surprised cry. Fox swiftly kicked the copy as it was distracted and then Fox used his deflectors to have the copy knock itself into walls!

“Diddy Kong! Fire your guns together!” Fox shouted as he drew a gun out and prepared to fire.

The young gorilla held his peanut guns and aimed it at his copy. Fox and Diddy Kong fired together and blasted the copy through the deflectors! The copy then hit the ground and disappeared into darkness.

“Now, time to help the others” Fox ordered as they saw Link and Falco avoiding the powerful punches and kicks from Ganondorf.

Link swung the Master Sword to clash against Ganondorf’s who was getting annoyed at the same tactic Link was using.

“You’re nothing like your previous reincarnation if you keep using the same tactic over and over” Ganondorf mocked as he and Link were staring at each other.

Link held a glare while Ganondorf was smirking. What Ganondorf failed to realize was that both Fox and Falco were behind him and charged up their attacks! Link tucked himself in and stepped back as Ganondorf caught himself before falling forward. He was curious until Diddy Kong jumped between Link and Ganondorf and held his two peanut guns. Diddy Kong then fired his guns as Ganondorf held his sword to block his attack.

“Do you think your meager attacks will stop me?” he asked as he looked down on the small gorilla.

Diddy Kong smirked, looked up, and answered determinedly, “Oak, oak (I wasn’t trying to hurt you). Oak oak oak! (I was trying to distract you from the real attack!)”

Ganondorf was surprised as he then looked up to see Fox and Falco above him with their charged attacks! Ganondorf had no time to block their strikes. Fox and Falco let out a yell as Fox punched and Falco kicked him! They landed on their feet as Link pulled Diddy Kong away as both pilots pulled out their blasters. They shot Ganondorf with everything and didn't let up until Ganondorf threw his sword at them! Fox and Falco barely had time to duck and looked back to see the sword on the ground and away from them. Fox’s eyes were shaking as Falco gulped at the site of it.

“You may have won this round” Ganondorf stated as he stood up and crossed his arms over his chest, “But it will be the last. I shall return for your trophies”

He departed from them as Falco prepared to run after him. However, Diddy Kong jumped on Falco to stop him. Link held out his hand to Fox and helped him stand up. Link checked to see if he was injured, but Fox shook his head.

“I’m fine, but what are we going to do next? Even when we were together, we couldn’t beat him” Fox said a little annoyed.

Link shook his head as he pointed to the sword on the ground. Fox looked at it and understood what Link meant. The sword was broken during their attack! Fox grinned as Link nodded his head.

“Then the next time we face Ganondorf, we will beat him!” Fox said determinedly as Link agreed with him.

“Get off of me!” Falco exclaimed as he tried to pull Diddy Kong off his head!

Link and Fox were surprised to see them still going at each other. Link went to pull Diddy Kong off while Fox pulled Falco. They tugged Diddy Kong and Falco away from each other, but Diddy Kong jumped from Link’s hands to point in the direction Ganondorf had walked to.

“Alright! We will go down there! Just shut up!” Falco exclaimed at Diddy Kong as Link and Fox just watched.

Diddy Kong nodded his head as they began to walk after Ganondorf. Link and Fox were surprised to see a floating island in the distance and shared a knowing glance. That would be their next destination, they were sure of it.

Chapter Text

Samus, Yellow, and Pika were readying themselves for a fight. The ship shook again as they glanced around to find their opponents. The lights went out as Pika sparked his cheeks to create some light around themselves.

“Aim for the lights. That sound turn this whole place on” Yellow whispered as Pika nodded his head.

He jumped, unleashed his electricity, and charged the lights. The lights turned on, much to their relief, but Samus’ gasped at the site just in front of Pika.

“Look out!” she yelled as Pika then zapped whatever was in front of him and jumped back to the girls.

“What is that?” Yellow asked in a scared tone as she saw two dark creatures morph to become Samus’ armor!

“A pair of fakes. Though, they remind me of my dark form” Samus answered as Yellow looked at her friend with concern, “We don’t have time to waste. We have to fight them!”

Yellow nodded as Pika’s cheeks sparked with electricity. The two shadows jumped at Pika who unleashed a powerful “Thunderbolt” around himself. The shadows were stunned and blasted away as Samus charged up her blaster. Pika jumped and ran across the field as the two shadows picked themselves up and chased after the mouse.

“Pika keep running! Unleash your electricity when you can!” Yellow ordered as Pika nodded his head.

As one shadow was about to jump him, Pika unleashed a powerful spark while shouting, “Pikachu, Pikachu!”

The sparks scattered across the grounds and tried to zap the shadows coming towards him. One shadow jumped over it while the other took it.

“Pika! Go for the one you stunned!” Yellow shouted as Pika quickly turned around and charged up his attack.

The first shadow then took aim at the electric mouse, but Samus finished charging up her blaster and fired! The first shadow was blasted away as Pika charged at the second shadow at full speed! He tackled the second one into a wall as Samus stood at his side.

“Get ready for another round” she said as Pika’s cheeks sparked.

The shadows picked themselves, charged up their blasters, and fired at them. Samus turned into a ball, rolled forward, and popped back up as she fired at the first one. Pika jumped up and ran away with the second shadow flowing him.

“Hey! Crash your shadow into mine” Samus ordered as she dropped bombs with her shadow chasing after her.

“Ok! Pika use your sparks! Slowly charge it up and then blast it at the second shadow” Yellow ordered as Pika turned around and unleashed his sparks on the ground again.

He slowly unleashed his sparks again, but he continues to run. Samus continued to drop bombs, but she didn’t let any of them explode. She waited as the two shadows were floating above the bombs.

“Pika use Thunderbolt!” Yellow shouted as she pointed to the bombs on the ground.

Pika jumped as electricity formed around him.

He jumped above the two shadows and shouted, “Pika!”

He unleashed a powerful, electrical bolt of lightning on the two shadows as it spread across the ground to ignite the bombs! Pika then jumped, tucked, and rolled away from the explosion and into Yellow’s arms as she was standing next to Samus.

“Did that do it?” Yellow asked as Pika was sparking in her arms.

Samus remained alert as she was standing in front of them. The smoke and dust vanished to reveal the shadows had disappeared!

“Yes!” Yellow exclaimed in relief as she let Pika go, “I am grateful the fighting has stopped for now, but how are we going to get out of here?”

Samus held her right arm up and near her face to check on the location of her ship. She was relieved to see it unharmed and knew she could use it to leave this place before they attract any unwanted attention.

“Yes. I have a ship. We can use it to get out of here and find the others” Samus informed them as she walked towards the exit.

Yellow happily followed her, but Pika’s cheeks sparked with electricity as he sensed something wrong. He jumped as he stood in front of Yellow. Yellow was surprised until Pika shouted something in worry as a warning. Before Samus and Yellow could react, something big, dark, and scaly flew towards them and grabbed Samus! Yellow gasped at the site of it. The creature wasn’t a Tyranitar nor a Hyderigon, but she wasn’t sure how she could help.

“Samus! Pika use Thunder!” Yellow ordered as she pointed at the dragon.

Pika jumped, gathered a bunch of electricity, and yelled, “Pika!”

The bolt of lightning crashed down on the dragon as it released Samus. She hit the ground and struggled in place while Yellow rushed to her side. She helped her sit back as Pika landed in front of them. The dragon crashed in front of them. Yellow let out a scream at the sight of it while Pika’s cheeks were sparking.

“That’s my enemy” Samus answered as she reached for her arm’s control panel, “We can’t fight him like this. We need to get to the ship and get help”

Yellow nodded as she asked seriously, “Can you carry me?”

Samus was surprised to hear this as Yellow was then looking at Pika and ordered, “You can use all your attacks as you see fit for the fights. Do not harm your friends”

Pika nodded his head as he understood what his trainer’s girlfriend was going to do. They turned to Samus as Yellow sighed and then slapped the sides of her cheeks. She then had her hands over Samus as she used her powers to heal Samus!

“What are you doing?!” Samus asked surprised as Yellow was slowly losing her strength to stay awake.

“I am healing you. I am not allowed to fight, but I can heal you. I do not weight much, so I am sure you can carry Pika and I with no trouble” Yellow answered, “My powers came from the forest. I do everything I can to heal my friends whenever they are in a fight, so don’t worry about me. I will just go to sleep. I’ll wake up, but I will be very tired”

“Wait, you’ll fall asleep?” Samus asked with concern.

“Yeah, so it will not be painful. You two can do this” Yellow said with confidence, “Yawn. Ah, it is almost time to sleep. You’re almost back to full health too. Goodnight”

She fell as Samus caught Yellow and sighed at her friend. Samus wasn’t sure what kind of power Yellow had, nor why she even bothered to come to the tournament. However, after this, she was sure of who Yellow was and picked her up.

“Alright. I won’t let your hard work go to waste” Samus said as she saw her enemy writhing on the ground and struggling with the effects of Pika’s attack, “Ok, we need to run. Follow me”

They ran the other way as the dragon was struggling in pain. Pika was in front of Samus as she looked over her shoulder to see if they were being followed and then at Yellow and her arm. She hoped her friends would get her message and come to help them before they are defeated.

“Samus…” her enemy whispered in a dark tone, “I will not let you escape. I will take your trophy and defeat your friends. You will not escape from me!”

He let out a powerful roar as he tried to break through Pika’s paralyze. Outside of the ship and the base, there was a spaceship flying towards it.

“Ok, I am almost there” Olimar whispered nervously as he checked the status of his ship, the dolphin, and looked outside, “I received a signal of distress from there, but I do not see anything. Maybe I got it wrong? I don’t think so. Everyone made sure the dolphin was ready before I left for this tournament”

He shook his head and flipped a few switches before directing his ship to land on the base. He carefully landed the dolphin on the ground and then powered his ship down. He sighed in relief at landing the ship safely and went to put on his astronaut gear. He opened the door and stepped out.

“Hello?!” he shouted worriedly, “I received your signal! I can try and help the best I can!”

He didn’t hear anybody and sighed. Maybe he did pick up a phony signal. As he turned to leave, he felt the ground shake in a violent manner.

“What is happening?!” he exclaimed confused and worried as he held onto the side of his ship.

He searched for the source of the shake and gasped when something was rising out of the ground! Olimar watched as a giant R.O.B rose from the ground and was scanning for something. Its’ eyes rested on Olimar who jumped and began to shake in place as the robot was coming closer to him!

“I can’t let this robot hurt my ship! I have to protect it!” he said determinedly before sending a signal.

Then, a bunch of different coloreds, small aliens were coming towards him! They were standing in front of him as he was trying to figure out a way to defeat the robot in front of him.

“Ok, Pikmin, jump on him!” Olimar shouted as he commanded a few of them to jump on the robot.

A few of the Pikmin charged at the robot. The giant R.O.B used his laser to attack a few of the Pikmin while the others were able to jump on his robot body. The Pikmin then did everything they could to fight R.O.B as Olimar picked up a few of the Pikmin and had two pink ones hold onto his back.

“Ok, follow my lead” he ordered as he held onto the Pikmin in his hands while the two pink ones carried him to hover above R.O.B.

Once he was above R.O.B, he released the Pikmin and then they attacked R.O.B! R.O.B was surprised to be attacked from the sky, but he spun a bit to knock some of the Pikmin off, but not all. Olimar landed on the ground as he saw some of the Pikmin defeated!

“Oh, no, what am I going to do?” Olimar wondered as he shook in place.

He tried to think of another plan, but he wasn’t sure if it could work. Suddenly, he heard something buzzing from his communication device on his arm. He was surprised. He didn’t expect to hear from anyone out here. He pressed a button hear the call, but instead, he heard the roar of a ship and some loud music.

“Ah! Who is this?” Olimar asked nervously as he tried to hear a voice.

The pilot of the Blue Falcon grinned when he heard Olimar speak to him. The pilot adjusted his visor and smirked at the control panels and maps which were guiding him to his destination. The island in the distance. He did receive Samus’ distress signal and rushed to her aid as soon as he could. He did have some trouble, but he was able to come to their rescue soon enough.

“I am Captain Falcon!” he replied to Olimar, “I am on my way!”

Olimar could barely hear him as the roar of a ship was coming towards him! He looked around and saw a blue ship coming towards him! He hid his face while some of his Pikmin ran away to take cover. The Blue Falcon landed and sped forward. Captain Falcon hit a button on his computer and was launched into the air! He could see the giant R.O.B and understood what he needed to do.

He drew his fist back, powered it up, and smirked while shouting with all his might, “FALCON PUNCH!”

Fire gathered around his fist as he then punched the giant R.O.B’s face with all his might! Olimar was surprised to see him defeat the giant R.O.B in one hit! The robot fell and crashed on the ground. Captain Falcon front flipped forward and landed on his feet while sliding. He knocked over some Pikmin, but most of the Pikmin were defeated when the giant R.O.B fell.

“That should take care of that” Captain Falcon said as he dusted himself and turned to Olimar, “Are you a new fighter?”

Olimar jumped and walked over to him while pulling out the invitation in his hands. He handed it to Captain Falcon who nodded his head at it. He noticed Olimar was shaking in place and understood. He wans’t the best with talking to other fighters, so he would have to be kind and gentle with him.

“I am a previous fighter” Captain Falcon explained, “I picked up a signal, and my friend is in trouble. I am trying to find her. Would you like to help us?”

Olimar stopped shaking as he listened to Captain Falcon. He was relieved that the signal was also picked up by someone else, but he was also worried about the upcoming rescue mission they were about to embark on.

“Yes, I would like to go with you” Olimar answered as bravely as he could, “Someone needs help, and I want to do my best to help them!”

“Thank you!” Captain Falcon shouted in relief as Olimar found him rather loud, “Now, come on! We have to find her and make sure she isn’t in any danger”

However, as they were searching for Samus, Diddy Kong, Link, Fox, and Falco had reached the end of the cliff and found a ship carrying the trophy form of Donkey Kong!

“So, that’s where Ganondorf was heading” Falco said as he pulled out his run and tried to take aim at the ship flying towards an island.

“We have to do something to free him” Fox said seriously, “Donkey Kong is a powerful gorilla. He can handle anything with his physical strength. It would be best to free him as soon as possible”

“Oak, oak? (But how are we going to reach him?)” Diddy Kong asked as he tilted his head from side to side.

“I believe we can help with that” Falco answered with a smirk while putting his gun away, “I can get you to the ship”

Link and Diddy Kong were surprised as Fox sighed. He had a rough idea of what his friend was thinking, and it might not be the best idea his friend could think of. Falco tapped something on his wrist as Diddy Kong and Link heard a roar of something loud and powerful coming towards them!

“From what I know about you two, your worlds don’t have technology like the world we are form. In fact, you walk or travel by vines while we travel with something different” Falco said as he took a step towards the edge of the cliff and fell!

Link and Diddy Kong were in shock as the little gorilla ran towards the edge of the cliff. Link noticed Fox wasn’t moving and was actually holding a look of annoyance. He didn’t say anything as Link looked at the cliff where Diddy Kong almost reached. However, as the little gorilla looked over the edge. He let out a panicked yell and ran away from the cliff as Falco was rising in the air and on his ship.

“Personally, I prefer the air!” Falco answered with a grin as he faced his friends.

Fox could only shake his head at his friend while Diddy Kong jumped in a surprised manner. Link was in utter disbelief at the sight of Falco using the ship to ride the air. Link only smiled as he thought of a distant friend who could use the wind like him.

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Falco asked with a smirk, “We’ve got to save your friend!”

Diddy Kong clapped his hands as he happily jumped on the ship. Fox and Link followed while Falco entered the pilot’s chair and took the controls. Falco let out a laugh as he flew the ship after Donkey Kong’s.

“Do we have a plan after this, Falco?!” Fox shouted through the pilot’s window to Falco.

Falco laughed as he replied, “Ha! Since we do have a plan?!”

Fox groaned while Link shouted for them to gain their attention. They looked ahead as they noticed a few R.O.Bs were guarding the ship.

“We will need to get the drop on them” Fox reasoned as he turned to Link, “I know my limits, and you’re physically stronger than me and the little gorilla. Are you ready?”

Link drew his Master Sword as he smirked at Fox in reply. Fox then gestured to the ship as Link leaned back and fell towards the ship. The R.O.Bs were gathering around the edge of the ship as Link raised the Master Sword above his head. He let out a yell as he then slammed the Master Sword on the ground to blow the R.O.Bs away from him! The R.O.Bs scattered on the floor as Link remained still and waited as Diddy Kong and Fox jumped held their guns. They opened fired and defeated the three R.O.Bs as Link ran towards the trophy form of Donkey Kong. Link quickly tapped the golden stand as a few more R.O.Bs were coming towards them!

“Oak oak! (I am free!)” Donkey Kong exclaimed as he slammed his fists on the metal floor of the ship.

Diddy Kong happily jumped to hug his uncle while Link and Fox grinned at them. Donkey Kong hugged Diddy Kong in a warm and strong embrace.

“Oak oak oak (Thank you for helping us!)” Diddy Kong said as he hopped from his uncle and went to see his friends.

“It was nothing” Fox reassured him until he noticed his commlink was blinking and answered it, “Yes? Who is it?”

“Your copilot!” Falco shouted in reply, “Take the controls of the ship!”

Fox looked forward and gasped. He saw the ship flying towards an island in the distance as the R.O.Bs were coming towards them! Fox sped towards the controls as Link and Donkey Kong fought off the R.O.Bs with Diddy Kong helping out. Fox grabbed the controls and tried to stir the ship, but the ship was on autopilot! The ship landed on the island as Captain Falcon and Olimar turned their attention to it.

“Everyone brace for impact!” Fox yelled as Donkey Kong grabbed Diddy Kong and held him close.

Link used the Hylian shield to protect himself as Fox ducked behind the controls. They let out a scream as the ship crashed onto the island with the R.O.Bs falling off and breaking on the ground. The fighters groaned in pain as they looked at each other and then checking up on each other. Falco gasped as he rushed to land his ship and check on his friends. Captain Falcon and Olimar rushed to the crash site, but they kept their distance from them.

“Are they ok?” Olimar asked as he nervously hid behind Captain Falcon.

“I am sure they are, but we should check on them” Captain Falcon replied as he cautiously walked up to them.

They walked up to them, and Captain Falcon was delighted to see Link, Fox, and Donkey Kong again. He rushed to help them as they were happy to see him again. They exchanged stories and helped each other out. They were surprised with the state of their world, but they knew they would have to work together and save it.

“So, what are we going to do from here?” Falco asked as he looked at the groups, “We have multiple targets. Should we split up?”

“I believe that would be the best course of action” Fox said, “Falco and I would like to chase after the ship. I imagine you can save Samus together”

Captain Falcon nodded his head in agreement as he turned to the other fighters who agreed with him.

“Unfortunately, our ships only have room for one pilot. Falco and I can handle the skies. We will meet up with you as soon as we are done” Fox said as the fighters agreed, “Once we finish, we will meet up and work together to find the real enemy behind this”

The two groups agreed. Fox and Falco boarded Falco’s plane and took off. Falco gave them a thumbs up as Fox waved goodbye. Diddy Kong waved goodbye as Donkey Kong grinned and Link smiled. Once the two members of Team Star Fox left, they turned to Captain Falcon and Olimar who were trying to find Samus.

“We’ve got an idea of where she is” Captain Falcon said to them, “Are we ready?”

They were and followed Captain Falcon into the island.

“Do you think they will be fine?” Falco asked as he and Fox were flying away from the island.

“I am sure they will be fine. Link is capable in any situation you put him in, and Donkey Kong is strong. Captain Falcon is also strong. They have nothing to worry about” Fox answered as he looked back at the island before looking forward, “Are we still tracking Wolf?”

“Yes, he’s flying towards the mountains. I don’t know what he is up to, but we are going to stop it!” Falco said determinedly as he directed the ship after Wolf.

Chapter Text

“Phew!” Green said in relief, “I’m grateful we can finally catch a break! Things have been rather hectic lately”

Marth and Ike were a little bit surprised by her reaction to their current situation. The tournament was in danger again, but she was remarkable calm.

“After saving the regions a bunch of times, you get used to saving the world” Green answered simply as Marth tripped at her statement, “And we sometimes don’t even get thanked for it either”

Red rubbed the back of his head nervously at her statement while he glanced at Meta Knight.

“So, what should we do? We’ve met up, but I don’t see how this is going to help us and the situation” Red confessed until they felt the ground shake.

“Ah! What was that?!” Lucas cried as he rushed to hide behind Red’s legs.

They looked around for the source of the shake and then heard a loud blast coming from the sky. They looked up to see a small ship blasting a bigger ship out of the sky.

“Ok, that’s bad’ Red admitted as Ike drew Ragnell.

“That’s my ship!” Meta Knight exclaimed in a furious manner as he drew his sword and then flew towards an icy mountain in the distance.

“Where are you going?!” Lucas asked with worry as Ike asked confused, “How can he fly it? He’s barely a foot tall”

“After his ship and I don’t think it matters how he can fly it, Ike” Marth answered as they watched their friend flying up the ice and snow covered mountain.

Meta Knight jumped from ledge and edge as he braved the cold. He was determined to retrieve his ship from them and stop it from being used for evil. As he continued to jump, there were two Ice Climbers also climbing up the mountain. Meta Knight noticed the pair of siblings climbing up the mountain and continued to climb.

“Whoa! Who was that?” Nana asked as she stumbled to look up at Meta Knight.

Popo wasn’t sure either, but he was surprised at how fast Meta Knight was climbing. He was determined to catch up to him! He took out the letter that stated he and his little sister were invited the tournament. 

“Perhaps he knows the reason why we are for this tournament” Popo told Nana who nodded her head in agreement, “Let’s catch up and help him”

“Ok!” Nana exclaimed as she followed her brother.

The pair jumped after Meta Knight and continued to climb after Meta Knight. Meta Knight was jumping and striking down any fallen ice and rocks. He swung his blade and knocked the incoming ice and rocks down. He was getting annoyed about the falling objects in his path.

“How dare this prevent me from achieving my goal” he said seriously as he continued to climb the mountain.

He jumped on another ledge, but a rock was coming towards him. Meta Knight raised his wings to block the incoming rock, but Popo and Nana jumped towards the rock and held their hammers high. They slammed their hammers against the rocks to break it! They cheered and landed before Meta Knight before sharing a high five.

“Who are you?” Meta Knight asked as he faced the siblings.

“Popo and Nana! We are the Ice Climbers!” they shouted in delight as they faced him.

“Ice Climbers?” Meta Knight asked confused and pondering on what he should do next.

“We can help you climb the mountain” they shouted excitedly and determinedly to him.

“Thank you. I will need your help to reach the top and then to my ship” Meta Knight said seriously.

The Ice Climbers nodded their heads as Meta Knight then jumped after him. The Ice Climbers work together to jump and swing their hammers to knock the incoming boulders and ice. Meta Knight then flew between it to avoid it and reach the top faster.

“I am grateful for your help!” Meta Knight said in a determined tone as he continued to fly.

Popo and Nana could only smile as they continued to swing their hammers and break the ice and rocks. They were getting closer to the mountain as Meta Knight could see the peak of it. However, they weren’t aware that a trainer and his Pokémon were also on the mountain.

“Do you sense something, Lucario?” Riley asked as he noticed his Pokémon wasn’t walking at his side anymore.

Riley was still wearing his dark blue jacket and hat. He was holding his hat on his head, making sure the powerful wind didn’t blow it away. The Aura Pokémon was standing still, sensing something powerful coming their way. He ran and then jumped on an icicle with his eyes closed.

“Lucario!” Riley shouted seriously as he gasped.

He could sense it too. Something powerful was coming their way! He remained quiet as he waited for their opponent to reveal themselves. Suddenly, the mountain shook a bit! Riley fell to his knees and held the ground. He could barely raise his head to see a ship crashing into the mountain!

“What?” he asked in utter confusion as he slowly backed away from the edge and the ship.

The ship seemed to be stuck, but that was not the case. Fox and Falco were chasing the ship, but they were having a difficult time with trying to catch it.

“We have to stop him from escaping” Fox said annoyed.

“I believe I have another idea” Falco said with a smirk as he piloted his ship right towards the other one.

“Wait, what are you thinking of?!” Fox exclaimed in a frustrated tone as he realized something reckless was forming in Falco’s mind.

“Nothing too dangerous! Besides Slippy can fix anything, more or less. We also have enough funds. If not, I can make some from this tournament” Falco reassured before directing the ship right at the other one.

“NO!” Fox shouted as he tried to take the controls, but he could not.

“YES!” Falco answered as he pushed the controls and blasted his ship right towards the other one, “Brace for impact!”

Fox ducked his head as Falco’s ship crashed right into the other one! Their ship shook violently as it did crash into the other one. Wolf let out a surprised yell as he looked through the screens and found Fox and Falco!

“What are those idiots doing?!” Wolf yelled as he glared at them.

Several alarms went off along with many flashings red lights as Wolf picked himself up and tried to take control of the ship. He was struggling and wondering what was causing him so many issues. He looked through another screen and gasped as he noticed the ship was about to crash into the icy mountain!

“Oh, this is just foolish!” Wolf growled as he prepared to brace for impact.

Falco let out a powerful yell of delight as Fox quickly regained the controls and pulled them away from the ship. Fox then directed their ship away and then tried to land them somewhere safe. Falco was still laughing while Fox sighed in relief that they were alive.

“What is wrong with you?!” Fox shouted at a laughing Falco.

“My best!” he replied as another alarm went off.

The two of them faced the controls and saw the ground approaching them at a faster rate! They screamed as they both pulled the control up and away from the ground. They tried to land the ship as they noticed something happening to the ship above them.

“You cannot be serious!” Wolf said annoyed as he noticed alarms blaring with the screen flashing a warning sign about the case underneath the ship, “Well, better to start somewhere I suppose”

He grabbed the control panel and slammed his fist on a button. He dropped the cage and then tried to direct the ship away from the icy mountain. Meta Knight and the Ice Climbers reached the top of the mountain and found Riley and Lucario standing before them!

“Who are you?” Riley asked as he faced them.

Lucario then jumped in front of his trainer and held his glowing paw in front of him. He glared at Meta Knight who pointed his sword at him. The Ice Climbers were worried as they watched the two fighters. Riley stood behind Lucario as he looked at Meta Knight. Something wasn’t right about this.

“I have no reason to fight you. I am only after my ship” Meta Knight said seriously as he held his sword down.

“What ship?” Riley asked as he looked at the mountain to see it against the mountain, “That’s yours?!”

Lucario growled and lunged forward!

“Wait, Lucario!” Riley shouted as his Pokémon charged and summoned a blue sphere in his hands.

He threw it at Meta Knight who flapped his wings in front of himself to block it. Meta Knight then drew himself back and jumped into the air. He flapped his wings to fly and keep his distance from Lucario.

“Very well” Meta Knight said as he dived towards Lucario, “I shall be your opponent!”

Lucario could only yell in reply as he created another sphere and threw it at Meta Knight again. Riley shook his head at his Pokémon. He glanced to the nervous pair of Ice Climbers who were unsure of what to do to stop them from fighting.

“I don’t believe you can stop them” Riley said with a shake of his head, “But maybe you can help me figure out why this ship is important and what purpose does it serve”

The Ice Climbers nodded as they hopped towards the mountain. Riley glanced at their fight, sighed, and followed the Ice Climbers to the mountain.

“I see that you are skilled!” Meta Knight said as Lucario threw another “Aura Sphere”, “But I have faced better!”

Meta Knight slammed his sword against Lucario who raised his paws to block it! This surprised Meta Knight who smirked underneath his mask.

“Ah, you blocked my strike” Meta Knight said in delight before jumping back and then charging again, “This shall be a good fight!”

Lucario slammed his paws into each other and then created a blue bone in his hands. He roared and charged at Meta Knight to slam his blue bone against the sword. Meta Knight laughed as he blocked the strike, but he enjoyed the feeling of a fight.

“Wonderful!” Meta Knight said as Lucario broke the bone in half and swung the lower half.

Meta Knight ducked and kicked Lucario who used the other half of the bone to block it. Meta Knight let out another laugh as he continued to swing his blade against the bones. The two of them countered each other’s strikes and blows. Flashes of purple and blue strike across them. The two of them pulled away from each other as they charged up their attacks. Meta Knight drew his sword while Lucario made the bones vanish and held his paws out to create another blue sphere. This last attack would determine the winner between them. Lucario threw a final “Aura Sphere” while Meta Knight’s sword was glowing. They let out a yell as Meta Knight swung his blade and Lucario threw the blue sphere.

“Yarh!” Meta Knight yelled as swung his blade to swiftly cut Lucario’s “Aura Sphere” in half and then swung the blade to strike Lucario down!

“Lucario!” Riley shouted as he looked at them.

His Pokémon transformed back into his trophy form while Meta Knight stood tall. He swung his sword down before flying back to Lucario’s trophy form. He tapped the golden stand to awaken Lucario. Lucario was standing before him and then held his paw out. Meta Knight grinned and then took the paw to give it a shake.

“Thank you, but please, if you can help us reach my ship, I would appreciate it” Meta Knight informed Lucario.

Lucario nodded as he turned his attention to the ship. However, they noticed a crate on the ship and slowly falling from it! Lucario used his speed to catch his trainer. The crate hit the side of the mountain and broke to unleash the darkness from it! However, the crate caused the Ice Climbers and Riley to lose their balance and fall! Lucario jumped to catch his trainer, but he couldn’t grab the pair of Ice Climbers! The Ice Climbers fell from the mountain as they screamed!

“Ah!” they yelled as Ike looked up while Red reached for Charizard’s pokeball.

“Charizard catch them!” Red ordered as he threw the pokeball in the air.

Charizard popped out, flew, and caught the two Ice Climbers. He gently placed them on the ground as Green sighed at the incoming wave of darkness.

“We’ve got trouble” she said as Ririri stood in front of her trainer.

“Everyone to arms!” Marth ordered as he drew Falchion.

They charged towards the darkness, ready to fight it with everything they had together. Red swapped Charizard for Blasty and had Blasty spray water on the floor, causing the forming Primids to slip. Ike charged up Ragnell and raised the blade in his hands. Marth ran forward to swing his blade to strike the Primids around himself and Ike. Ririri jumped and then landed behind them to “Sing”. Green covered her ears as Ririri put a group of Primids to sleep.

“Ike! Now!” Green shouted as she jumped on Ririri who floated away.

Red grabbed Blasty as Lucas created an energy shield around himself for protection. Marth raised Falchion to protect himself as Ike could feel the burning power coming from the blade. He then slammed Ragnell to unleash a powerful wave of fire to blow the Primids away! However, more and more were approaching them!

“How many more?!” Green said annoyed as Lucas cast “PK Thunder”.

“Doesn’t matter. We have to keep this up” Red urged her as he swapped Blasty for Saur.

Marth and Ike charged forward as their help was coming sooner than they thought. On the top of a cliff, Mario and Twilight Link saw Bowser carrying Twilight Zelda to the ship that had crashed into the mountain. They were ready to reach it while Pit and Kirby were pointing to the ground.

“It appears that ship was holding a huge amount of darkness” Zelda informed them, “They will not be able to withstand this onslaught of attacks without our help”

Yoshi turned to them as they nodded. Zelda was pleased to know that they were ready to help their friends together. Mario raised his fist, Yoshi jumped, Twilight Link swung the Master Sword down, Pit swung his bow, and Kirby happily jumped in the air.

“Hiyah!” Twilight Link yelled as he spun his Master Sword to clash against the Primids coming to attack Marth from behind.

“Duck!” Pit shouted as Red hit the ground and covered his head.

A Primid jumped to attack him while Saur was busying fighting another one. Pit drew back an arrow, fired it, and then rushed to help Red up. Pit then waved his hands to create his Guardian Orbiters to protect himself, Red, and Saur.

“Are you ok?” Pit asked with concern as Red flashed a determined expression.

“Yeah, but thanks for the help” Red answered as he stood by Saur and prepared to help him.

Ririri used “Sing” again as Green gasped at another Primid jumping at her! Kirby quickly transformed into a brick and fell with all his might. He slammed his body down on the Primid as Green blinked at him.

“What?” Green asked until she gasped in realization, “Kirby!”

“Puyo!” Kirby shouted in delight and drew his sword to fight the sleeping the Primids.

Ike swung his blade to effortlessly strike down the Primids in his path. Yoshi used his tongue to pull an incoming Primid away from Ike. Yoshi then slammed the Primids into others and landed behind Ike.

“PK Fire!” Lucas shouted as he cast a powerful wave of fire.

“Hyah!” Zelda shouted as she teleported behind Lucas to cast her own fire spell.

Their fire spells combined and struck down a large group of Primids. Lucas was surprised to see such a fiery explosion and looked at his hands. Zelda simply laughed as she tapped the side of her cheek.

“Don’t worry. That wasn’t all you” she reassured him as Lucas gasped at the pretty site of her, “You have friends here who are willing to help you! Now, let’s work together and defeat the remaining Primids!”

Lucas nodded his head and went back to the fight as Zelda looked up at the icy mountain. She hoped that their friends up at the mountain would be faring better than down here.

“Do not take too long” she whispered seriously, “There is so much at stake here”

She then turned her attention to the fight and fought with Lucas. Luckily, it seemed like her wish would be granted very soon. In the ship, near the area where Bowser had locked Twilight Zelda and Peach in, there was a brown box in front of it. He could hear the fighting going on from the outside.

“Huh. Sounds like quite mission” he said with a smirk, “I better not keep them waiting”

He lifted the box up and stood tall.

“Solid Snake reporting for the mission” he answered as he turned to the doors, “For my first mission, it is time to free them”

He placed a bomb on the lock and took a few steps back to explode it. The doors opened as he pushed it aside to see a room filled with two trophies; Peach and Twilight Zelda.

“Ah, so that is what they were hiding in here” he said as he shook his head, “I’ve done my research, so let’s free them”

He climbed up the wall and jumped on the cage holding Peach. He placed a bomb on the chain and then jumped to Twilight Zelda’s cage to place a bomb on hers. He jumped off and landed before them cages as he pressed a button on his remote. The chain broke as the cages fell on the ground with a loud clang and thud. Snake walked to the cages to take Peach’s and Twilight Zelda’s trophy forms out of the broken cages. He pressed the golden stands and returned them to normal.

“Ow!” Peach said with a groan, “That was rather unpleasant”

“I agree. I wish to not experience that again” Twilight Zelda agreed as she was sitting on the ground.

Peach noticed Snake and asked suspiciously with a brow raised, “And who are you? Are you a fighter?”

“Yes. I am Solid Snake” he answered as he took out his invitation to show them, “Someone sent me to partake in the tournament and then help him. I was able to infiltrate the ship and waited until it was safe for me to see this room and free you”

He turned to leave as Peach asked annoyed, “And where do you think you’re going?!”

“I am going to stop the person who is controlling the ship” he answered simply and then turned to them as he pointed to the room, “Please stay here. I do not want you two in danger”

“But we can help” Twilight Zelda informed him seriously.

“No, I work best alone” he answered before running out.

Peach was dissatisfied while Twilight Zelda simply sighed. Peach then went off on a tangent about how rude Snake was for leaving them, but Twilight Zelda had an idea. She looked at her Triforce of Wisdom and closed her eyes. She let the powers of the mystic realm flow through her and transformed into Sheik!

“What are you doing?!” Peach exclaimed at Twilight Zelda.

“I am going to stop the ship” Sheik answered simply, “Do you want to come with me?”

“Yes! It beats sitting here and waiting to be saved!” Peach answered in delight as she clapped her hands.

The doors opened as Sheik stepped out first. He looked around to make sure no one was there and then left with a delighted Peach behind her.

Chapter Text

“Lucario! Where are we going?!” Riley shouted as he was still in Lucario’s arms.

His Pokémon was climbing up the icy mountain and jumped to reach the ship! Riley was surprised as something flew over his head and grabbed Lucario!

“Who is that?!” Riley asked with concern as he looked up to see Meta Knight!

“Do not worry. Your partner has agreed to help me save my ship” Meta Knight reassured Riley as he flew to his ship, “We will enter underneath it and then find the pilot. We will take him out and reclaim my ship!”

Riley simply nodded his head as Lucario let out a growl of agreement. Meta Knight then flew to the ship as fast as he could and saw a window.

“Prepare yourselves!” Meta Knight warned as he dove towards the window.

Lucario charged up an “Aura Sphere” and threw it at the window to break it. The window broke as Meta Knight tossed Lucario in first. Lucario jumped through the window as Meta Knight flew in with Riley. Meta Knight dropped Riley on his feet as he took a moment to regain his balance.

“Are we ok?” Riley asked as he looked at his Pokémon and Meta Knight.

“Yes, but are we ready to find the pilot?” Meta Knight asked seriously.

Riley and Lucario nodded as they followed Meta Knight. He flew in front of them to lead them through his ship. However, they passed a box until Riley and Lucario stopped. They looked at it curiously as their eyes glowed a blue light.

“What is it?” Meta Knight asked as he flew back to them.

“Someone is in the box” Riley answered as he nodded to Lucario.

Lucario picked up the box and held it to reveal Snake! Snake jumped as an exclamation point appeared above his head. He got into a fighting stance as Meta Knight drew his sword. He was not pleased to find another intruder in his ship. Lucario and Riley stood between the two of them as Lucario held his glowing paw.

“Ah, I see” Riley spoke calmly, “We are not enemies. Lucario and I can sense the aura of others. Snake is not enemy, and we are not your enemies. We are here to take back the ship from the enemy. Would you please help us?”

Snake remained tense, but he soon relaxed. Meta Knight lowered his sword too. They trusted Lucario and Riley as both groups decided to exchange stories on the current situation at hand.

“Sheik, where are we going?” Peach asked as she followed the Sheikah warrior out of the lower areas of the ship and gasped when they were outside, “What are we doing out here?!”

Peach found Sheik standing outside and looking for the source of the darkness surrounding the ship. They were unaware that Fox and Falco were flying around it and trying to find the source as well.

“Something isn’t right” Fox whispered as he looked at the screen and noticed that he was picking up signs of life, “Falco! Hold on!”

Falco wasn’t paying attention and open fired on the ship. Peach let out a scream as Falco nearly hit her! Sheik glanced at her before looking up to see the ship firing at them! Peach covered her head and ducked, but Sheik disappeared in smoke.

“Wait, where did Sheik go?” Fox asked with concern before smoke appeared in front of them.

Sheik was standing on their plane as Fox and Falco were surprised to see him here. Sheik drew his fist back and punched the glass!

“Oh, come on!” Falco exclaimed as he tried to shake Sheik off him.

“What are you doing?! That’s Sheik!” Fox shouted as Sheik broke the glass!

Fox took the controls and slammed his fist on the ejection button! Fox and Falco burst from their plane as Sheik disappeared in smoke. Sheik reappeared on the ground of Meta Knight’s ship and landed in front of Peach. Peach glanced at Sheik who lunged forward. Fox and Falco landed on the ship and gasped as they saw Sheik charging towards them.

“I’ve got him!” Fox yelled as he ran ahead and swung a kick.

Sheik threw a punch colliding with his kick. Falco held his gun and prepared to fire, but Peach ran as fast as she could to stand between them.

“Hold it!” the princess exclaimed as she held her hands out, motioning them to stop fighting.

“Oh, Princess Peach” Fox said in relief as Sheik retreated his punch.

“Yep! Now, we have no reason to fight each other. We are on the same side!” the princess said in a happy manner as she took out a teapot and three cups of tea, “So, let’s relax and take moment to calm ourselves down!”

Fox wasn’t sure as Falco put his gun away. Sheik took a teacup for himself and drank some tea. Fox shrugged and decided to have a cup for himself. Peach prepared another cup for Falco. With that, they were finally able to take a break and understand their current situation together.

“So, this is your ship, and you want to take it back from the person who has it under their control” Snake asked in an understanding tone.

“And we hope to stop the spread of this darkness as well” Riley added as he tipped his hat up.

“So, we must head to bridge! Come with me, my brothers!” Meta Knight declared as he raised his sword.

He flew ahead with Snake, Lucario, and Riley following him. They were able to make their way to the bridge of the ship as they fought the incoming Primids along the way. Lucario’s fist glowed before punching the steel doors to the control room of the ship. The door fell with a loud clang as they entered.

“Really? So soon?” Wolf growled as he turned around and was surprised, “I was expecting a fox and bird. Who are you?”

Meta Knight pointed his sword at Wolf with a booming voice, “I am the true captain of this ship! I will rightfully reclaim it!”

Wolf groaned before chuckling. He then held a trophy of Mr. Game and Watch, covering it with darkness! He pressed the golden stand and pulled his blaster out. He shoots the window, jumped through it, and landed outside as he threw the trophy of Mr. Game and Watch. Wolf noticed Fox and Falco were with their fellow fighters and decided to fight them. Mr. Game and Watch formed in front of them with darkness slowly making him bigger!

“Get back!” Riley shouted as Lucario stood in front of them to create a blue aura shield for protection.

“Oh, no! I am finishing the mission!” Snake shouted as he and Meta Knight charged forward.

Snake threw a punch as Meta Knight dropped kicked Mr. Game and Watch out of the control room of the ship!

“I’ll take the controls! Get him back to his senses!” Meta Knight ordered as Lucario nodded.

He and Snake jumped out of the window and looked for the darkness surrounding Mr. Game and Watch. Lucario created a blue sphere in his paws and threw it when he saw Wolf holding his blaster, ready to pull the trigger on Fox!

“Argh!” Lucario roared as he threw the sphere to strike Wolf!

“Gunh!” Wolf grunted as he was knocked away from them and dropped his gun.

Fox and Falco recognized his voice and rushed to find him standing there, holding his injured hand. Falco could only laugh as he pulled out his gun and held it at Wolf.

“Ah, nice of you to drop by Wolf. Are you ready to be finished?” Fox asked annoyed and ready for a fight.

Wolf growled as he noticed he was being surrounded by the fighters. Everyone, except for Fox, expected Wolf to surrender, but Wolf only laughed.

“Did you think I would face you alone?” Wolf asked in a mocking tone as Mr. Game and Watch was forming behind him!

He grew larger and larger until he towered over them! Everyone was surprised as they prepared themselves for a fight. Riley gasped as he looked through the broken window.

“Do not worry” Meta Knight reassured him, “I am sure they can handle it. You can sense it, right? With your powers? They’re not alone”

Riley gasped as he looked at his glowing, blue hands and concentrated on Lucario. He looked through Lucario’s eyes and found his partner Pokémon standing with a group of fighters! Riley could only grin before composing himself.

“Alright, then do not hold anything back, Lucario. Do everything you can to protect your friends and defeat the enemy” Riley ordered his Pokémon.

Lucario only growled in agreement before he and the rest of the fighters charged at Wolf and the giant Mr. Game and Watch. They waited, seeing who would make the first move. Wolf then lunged forward with his claws out as Fox charged to swing a kick at him! Falco and Lucario followed Fox and Wolf as Snake, Sheik, and Peach faced the giant Mr. Game and Watch.

“We have to take it down” Snake said as he glanced to the princess and ninja, “Are you ready?”

“Yes” Sheik answered determinedly with Peach spinning her parasol behind her, “Yes, but let’s not hurt him too much! He is still a dear friend of ours!”

Snake wasn’t sure how he was going to pull that off, but he would try at the very least. Sheik rushed to strike first as Peach stayed behind Snake. Snake ran the other direction to find a weak spot for their fellow fighter.

“Do you think you can best me, boy?!” Wolf snarled as he tried to swipe Fox’s face.

Fox raised his hands to have it take the attack, but Wolf jumped and kicked Fox away! Fox stumbled, barely having any time to recover. Wolf smirked as he drew his claws and continued to swipe at Fox, striking him with each attack! Fox couldn’t even put his shield! He knew he was losing strength, fast too.

“Hiyah!” Wolf roared as he delivers a powerful punch at his face!

“Gyah!” Fox exclaimed in pain as he was knocked away until Falco caught him. “What?”

“Come on, you’re the leader” Falco reminded his friend as he helped him stand up, “Lead us”

Fox glanced to Falco as Lucario drew his fist back to punch against Wolf’s punch!

“Hm, do you think you can take me? Very well, let’s see what you can do!” Wolf snarled in delight as he threw another punch.

Lucario countered with his punch! They were at a standstill, much to Wolf’s surprise and Lucario’s delight. Wolf tried another punch, but Lucario effortlessly countered it. Wolf kept throwing punches as Lucario reacted by punching him back!

“He’s able to match his punches! How?!” Falco wondered as Fox got an idea.

“That doesn’t matter. Right now, we have a chance to knock Wolf out” Fox said as he let go of Falco, “Don’t hold anything back and go after Wolf now!”

“What are you going to do?” Falco asked with a smirk as he prepared to fight Wolf.

Fox simply chuckled as he held his blaster and took aim.

“Wear him down. You and Lucario are going to deliver the final blow to knock him out” Fox ordered with a grin.

“You do not have to tell me twice” Falco answered as he ran towards the two fighters and smacked Wolf across his face!

Fox only chuckled as he kept his distance and fired at Wolf. Wolf was able to take Falco’s hit, but he jumped to barely avoid the blasts coming from Fox! Wolf put up a shield to reflect the blasts, but Lucario rushed behind him with a glowing, gray tail. Wolf gasped as Lucario swung his tail to smack against Wolf’s chest to knock him away from Fox!

“Guh!” Wolf grunted as he felt himself falling, “Can’t take me on your own, Fox? Pathetic. Your father would’ve tried to”

He tried to bait Fox, but he failed to notice Falco behind him! Falco swiftly kicked Wolf to Lucario who was slowly charging his aura. Wolf withstood Falco’s kick, but Lucario unleashed a flurry of blue punches to beat Wolf! Wolf could barely keep up as he wondered how Lucario was storing up this power. Fox ran behind Wolf and opened fire with his blaster. Wolf was quickly losing his strength and power. Fox and Falco realized this as they shared a knowing nod.

“Yah/Hah!” they shouted as they charged at Wolf.

They drew their paw and wing back before throwing a powerful punch at Wolf. Wolf was knocked back and rolled on the metal floor of the ship. He struggled to even pick himself up, but Lucario held his glowing paw with Wolf’s eyes were wide. Lucario used “Force Palm” to deliver the final strike to force Wolf into his trophy form.

“Finally! The mission is complete!” Falco said as he rushed to Wolf’s trophy form, leaving a tired Fox to stand on his own.

Fox decided to sit down as Lucario ran to the pilot and held his paw out for him to take. Fox shook his head and held his injured side before glancing to the fight between the giant, darkness consumed Mr. Game and Watch and Snake, Sheik, and Peach.

“I have a feeling they are going to need your help. Falco and I can take it from here” Fox reassured him as Lucario simply turned and ran to the other fight.

Falco picked up the trophy Wolf and dropped him next to Fox.

“You ok?” Falco asked as his leader picked himself up and nodded his head.

“Let’s get the control room. I am sure we have friends there. We can lock up Wolf and then rejoin with the others” Fox ordered as Falco agreed.

The two pilots carried Wolf’s trophy form and went to the control room. Fox glanced at his friends one more time, holding a confident grin, before focusing on ahead.

“Look out!” Sheik shouted as the ninja jumped to pick up Peach before the giant Mr. Game and Watch could deliver a punch, “Please be aware of your surroundings, Peach”

Sheik placed Peach on her feet before running back to fight the giant. Peach puffed up her cheeks in annoyance as she shook her head.

“Why must everything involve a brawl?” Peach pouted as she picked up her dress and ran to the fight.

Snake was grateful that Peach was distracting Mr. Game and Watch. He was able to plant bombs on Mr. Game and Watch’s feet and quickly crawled away. He smirked once he was safe and pressed a button to blow up the bombs! Mr. Game and Watch wailed in pain and stumbled, causing the ship to shake as well!

“Woah! Riley exclaimed as he reached for the wall to hold onto.

Fox made sure Wolf’s trophy wasn’t falling to release him as Falco ran to stand beside Meta Knight. Meta Knight was struggling to hold his ship up, so Falco helped him take control of the ship.

“If this keeps up, the ship is going to fall out of the sky!” Falco struggled as he tried to regain control of the ship.

“They cannot do this to me! This is my ship!” Meta Knight struggled in frustration as Riley closed his eyes and let his aura channel to Lucario.

Lucario was standing behind Sheik and Snake as he sensed his trainer’s calling.

“You cannot let the fighter shake the ship” Riley informed his partner Pokémon, “You have to defeat the fighter without shaking the ship. We could crash at this rate”

Lucario nodded as he rushed pass Snake and Sheik with Riley opening his eyes, sighing in relief.

“I informed them of the situation” Riley explained to his friends, “We have to hang on until then! We should find a place to land! Assuming we can do that”

Falco and Meta Knight shared a nod as they worked together to direct the ship to the ground. Riley then went to help Fox to make sure Wolf’s trophy did not awaken.

“What is he doing?” Snake wondered as Lucario jumped and punched Mr. Game and Watch.

Lucario only threw punches and kicks, but nothing too strong to fully knock the giant down. It confused Snake, but Sheik understood.

“Of course, we can’t damage nor shake the ship!” Sheik answered, “We have to defeat the fight without bringing harm to the ship!”

“And what if he keeps moving around?” Snake asked as Peach let out a delighted “oh”.

“I believe I can help with that!” Peach answered with pride, “I should be able to put him to sleep!”

“And why are you just telling us this now?” Snake asked annoyed and rubbing his head.

“You never asked, good soldier!” Peach answered strongly as she stood tall, “Keep delivering blows and weakening him”

Snake simply shrugged before running back to the fight. He got on one knee and pulled out a grenade launcher as Sheik jumped and threw shurikens to strike the giant. He took a step a back, but Lucario jumped from behind to swing his tail to strike the back of the giant Mr. Game and Watch to keep him from falling into the ship. Snake fired a few grenades as Sheik rushed to aid Lucario from behind.

“Please follow my lead” Sheik requested as Lucario nodded his head.

They took a running start, jumped together, drew their fists back, and delivered a powerful punch behind Mr. Game and Watch! He leaned forward as Snake pulled out a rocket launched and fired it at him. Mr. Game and Watch leaned back as he trying to not fall.

“Peach! Sing! Dance! Put him to sleep!” Sheik shouted as Lucario and Sheik landed on the metal floor of the ship.

The princess skipped to the front of the wobbling Mr. Game and Watch as she tapped her cheek and grinned mischievously. She spun and twirled as she winked. A happy melody accompanied her as big, healthy, round peaches fell at her feet. She giggled and continued to dance as her melody put Mr. Game and Watch to sleep!

“Now! Deliver the final blow please! Save our fellow fighter!” Peach pleaded as Sheik, Lucario, and Snake shared a nod.

Snake aimed the rocket launcher as Sheik quickly ran to throw sticky bombs on Mr. Game and Watch’s body. Lucario jumped, charged up another “Aura Sphere” in his palms. Sheik landed on the ground, eyes closed as the bombs exploded on Mr. Game and Watch’s body. Snake fired the rocket launcher and struck Mr. Game and Watch’s body. Lucario let out a roar as he threw the blue sphere to strike the back! With their attacks combined, they were able to defeat the giant Mr. Game and Watch! Lucario used “Extreme Speed” to catch the trophy form of Mr. Game and Watch as he fell free from the darkness. Lucario landed on the metal flooring before placing the trophy form of Mr. Game and Watch on it.

“Well, that takes care of that” Snake said in relief before turning to the control room of the ship, waving to them.

“They did it” Fox said in relief as Meta Knight spread his wings and cheered.

He finally had full control of his ship. He directed it towards the fighters from below as Peach happily walked to the trophy form of Mr. Game and Watch.

“Should we let her do this?” Snake asked unsure as Riley rejoined with his partner Pokémon.

“I believe so. I sense nothing negative with him” Riley reassured as Peach tapped the golden stand to awaken him again.

Mr. Game and Watch was surprised before turning to Peach who giggled at him. She handed her parasol to him as he grinned to holding up and down. With that, the skies were finally safe from the darkness.

Chapter Text

Samus and Pikachu were running from Ridley as she carried the sleeping Yellow on her back. They were still running down the hall, searching for a way off the ship. They didn’t stop until they reached a lab and gasped. Right before them was a bunch of bombs!

“So, this is where these things are coming from” Samus reasoned as she closed her eyes.

She should’ve known that Ridley would be the one to manufacture and distribute these dangerous devices to others. Pika rushed to one and used “Thunderbolt” to try and destroy one, but it was resisting his electric attacks. Samus motioned Pika to stop as she gently placed the sleeping Yellow on the ground.

“We need to figure out how to break it. Do you know any other attacks that do not involve lightning?” Samus asked the electric mouse.

Pika nodded his head and gestured to his tail as it glowed a silver color. Samus nodded her head as she held her cannon arm.

“Let’s try and destroy the bombs” Samus said as Pika nodded his head.

He swung his tail to smack the bomb as Samus tried to knock one bomb to the ground. Nothing was working, so Samus commanded Pika to not attack it again.

“We need to conserve our energy” Samus reminded the mouse, “We have to make sure we can do something as your trainer sleeps. I will admit, I am not sure how we are going to stop the bombs”

They took a moment to rest as they were unaware that help was coming their way. Cap. Falcon had led the group deeper into factory hidden away. Link held the slate and used it as flashlight to light up their path. Olimar stuck close to him as Diddy Kong walked ahead of Donkey Kong who was behind Captain Falcon.

“Are we almost there? It is dark in here!” Olimar exclaimed nervously.

Link wasn’t sure as he glanced to Captain Falcon who was looking at the device on his arm. He kept checking for any sign of Samus, but he wasn’t having a secure location. Where could she be?

“PIKACHU!” Pika exclaimed as he tried a “Thunder” attack to strike a bomb.

Of course, the attack didn’t work, and Pika was panting, feeling the exhaustion from using a powerful move. Samus shook her head and held the electric mouse in her arms.

“You need to stop” she ordered, “Your trainer cannot heal you, and we need to find a way to escape. From there, we need to get help”

Captain Falcon, Link, and Donkey Kong were relieved! They found her! Captain Falcon motioned for Donkey Kong to stand with him.

“We are going to break through and reach her together” he informed the gorilla, “Follow my lead!”

“Oak oak (Sure thing)” Donkey Kong replied as he spun his left fist behind him.

Captain Falcon drew his right fist back, flames gathering to it. He and Donkey Kong shared a glance before smirking.

“FALCON PUNCH!” Captain Falcon yelled as Donkey Kong let out yell.

Both slammed their joined attack through the walls and broke it into pieces, alarming Samus and Pika. They jumped, ready for another fight.

“Samus! Are you here?!” Captain Falcon asked as he jumped over the debris, he and Donkey Kong created as she gasped in disbelief.

She stood still as Captain Falcon stared at her before saluting her. Behind him, Donkey Kong and Link waved to her as Olimar poked his head from behind Link’s legs with Diddy Kong jumping out and waving to her.

“Are you ok?” Captain Falcon asked, embarrassed at her staring expression.

“Yes, but you came at a perfect moment” Samus answered with slight relief in her voice, “But we do not have much time. We need to get rid of these bombs before it is sent out to harm the other fighters and worlds!”

She took a step back to reveal the bombs, much to the horror and disbelief. Suddenly, the floor shook again. Everyone held onto the ground and looked to see platforms rising. The platforms revealed a bunch of R.O.Bs! A pair went to hold the sides of the bombs and pulled it apart to activate it!

“Oh, no!” Olimar exclaimed as Link charged forward with the Master Sword in hand.

He swung the blade to try and cut the R.O.B down, but the robot countered him! Everyone rushed to the R.O.Bs, trying to either beat them, pull them away, or smash them. Captain Falcon tried his “Falcon Punch”, Olimar threw his Pikmin, Diddy Kong fired his peanut guns, Donkey Kong tried to pull a R.O.B off, Samus tried to blast one, and Pika swung his tail to use “Iron Tail”. None of their attacks were working!

“Ah, I thought I heard fighting. I should’ve known you would come and stop our plans” Twilight Ganondorf declared as he appeared in the form of a hologram with the Ancient Minister rising from another platform.

Link glared as he pointed the Master Sword at Twilight Ganondorf who only glared in reply.

“You again” he grumbled in annoyance as Link prepared to charge at him.

“Do not waste your energy” Samus explained, “He’s not here, so you will have to wait to take him out”

Link lowered the Master Sword, but she raised her cannon at the Ancient Minister.

“As for you, why are you doing?! What do you get out of this?!” she demanded, “Everyone is getting hurt and the worlds are in danger as well!”

Everyone turned to the Ancient Minister. None of them knew the true identity of the Ancient Minister and would also appreciate a reason for this. They were ready for a fight, but the Ancient Minister wasn’t paying attention to them nor Twilight Ganondorf. He was staring at the R.O.Bs. He flew towards a pair and rammed his body against it to try and fail to knock them away!

“What is he doing?” Captain Falcon asked surprised.

“He’s trying to save the other R.O.Bs!” Olimar exclaimed in disbelief as his Pikmin gathered around him for protection.

They were surprised as Twilight Ganondorf was frustrated!

“What are you doing?! We have a mission! Cease this insubordination at once!” he ordered, but the Ancient Minister didn’t stop his attacks.

He began to spark, energy was bursting from him. Link put up his Hylian Sheild, Captain Falcon and Donkey Kong stood in front of Olimar, the Pikmins, Diddy Kong, and Yellow, and Samus and Pika were surprised.

“Pika! Something is wrong with him!” Samus shouted as she ran towards him, “Absorb his electricity!”

The electric mouse ran towards the Ancient Minister. He used “Quick Attack” to run faster and jump on the Ancient Minister. The mouse began to absorb the electricity and store it in his cheeks. Samus charged up her cannon as Pika jumped, absorbing the extra electricity. Samus fired a charged shot and blasted the Ancient Minister! Everyone was surprised to see the green cloak burst into flames and reveal their fellow fighter and friend, R.O.B! Samus fired another shot to blast a device controlling him!

“Oak! (R.O.B!)” Donkey Kong shouted as Samus lowered her cannon.

Link glared at Twilight Ganondorf who was frustrated. He was not too pleased with losing another pawn to those who always stand against him. He looked the Hero of the Wild who changed his serious expression to a smirk.

“Do not think you’ve won” Twilight Ganondorf declared as he held a device before him, “I still have one more card to play. I will make sure to play it!”

He pressed a button on the device to activate all the bombs!

“He’s going to destroy this place! We have to get out of here!” Samus ordered as pika jumped to her shoulder and she picked up Yellow.

Donkey Kong saw R.O.B still trying to reason with the other R.O.Bs. R.O.B’s eyes flashed a red light as he tried to communicate with them. The other R.O.Bs turned away as Donkey Kong rushed to grab and throw R.O.B over his shoulder. The others were already running out of the lab as Captain Falcon was checking his arm’s communication device and grinning.

“Oak, oak, oak! Oak, oak, oak! (I see a gap ahead of us! What do we do?!)” Diddy Kong asked as they were still running.

“Jump!” Captain Falcon shouted as he ran faster and jumped!

Samus followed him with Olimar close and Pika hanging on, Diddy Kong jumped next with Link following him, and Donkey Kong carrying R.O.B over his head. They were free falling until Captain Falcon’s Blue Falcon flew underneath them! The ship caught them and flew away from the lab!

“We did it!” Olimar said in relief as he finally sat down with his Pikmin covering him.

Diddy Kong also sighed in relief as Donkey Kong put R.O.B on the floor of the ship. Link held his Sheikah slate to examine their situation as Samus gently placed Yellow on the ship with Pika snuggling next to her. Captain Falcon took to the controls of the ship and made sure they were on a steady course out of the lab.

“Well, hopefully, it will be easier from here on out!” Captain Falcon said in relief as he grinned.

He spoke too soon. The entire facility began to shake from a roar. Samus was the first to react and turn around. Link drew his bow as Pika’s cheeks were sparking.

“Oak, oak? (What is that?)” Diddy Kong asked with worry as he held his hands on his head.

It was suddenly quiet before another roar echoed around them, shaking the facility again. Samus powered up her cannon as she realized who it was.

“Everyone! Get ready! We are going to have fight and defend our way out of here!” Samus ordered as she glanced to Captain Falcon, “You keep focusing on flying us out of here. Do not worry about us”

“Oak, oak? (Who is chasing us?)” Donkey Kong asked as he pounded his fists together.

“My enemy, Ridley” Samus answered as another roar was heard and a silver glint caught their eyes.

They heard a roar as the Space Pirate flew towards them! Samus’ eyes were wide as she realized the armor around Rildey’s body.

“Oh, no!” Samus realized as she glanced to her friends, “That’s Mecha Ridley! He has his armor! We will need a huge amount of energy to stop him!”

Link nodded his head as Pika jumped on his shoulder. Donkey Kong raised his fists with Diddy Kong holding his peanut guns, and Olimar stood in a shaky stance with his Pikmin at his side. Samus was relieved she had allies standing with her and readying themselves for a fight.

“SAMUS!” Mecha Ridley roared, “I will take you down!”

His roar echoed around everyone as they held themselves ready. Link nodded to Pika as he drew an arrow back with the electric mouse riding on it! Samus stood behind them as she powered up her cannon. Diddy Kong held his guns with Olimar picking his Pikmin.

“Fire!” Samus ordered as she and Diddy Kong fired on Mecha Ridley.

Mecha Ridley easily avoided their attacks to then opening his mouth to breath out fire!

“Dive, dive, dive!” Olimar exclaimed as Captain Falcon pushed the steering wheel to make the ship dive down to avoid the fire, “Up and over!”

Captain Falcon then directed the ship to spin and fly directly above Mecha Ridley! Diddy Kong was screaming as he clung to the ship. Donkey Kong held Yellow’s sleeping form, Link and Samus also held onto the ship. Olimar then released all his Pikmin to attack the armor on Mecha Ridley! Samus pointed her cannon to fire at the armor being slowly pulled off Mecha Ridley. Mecha Ridley roared as he spun and to knock the Pikmin off his body before flying after them.

“Going back to normal!” Captain Falcon shouted as he turned the ship right side up and then pushed the wheel to make the ship fly faster and away from Ridley.

Everyone fell on the metal floor as Link stood up and drew back an arrow. Pika jumped on it with his cheeks sparking. Link took a deep breath in and sharply gazed at the Mecha Ridley. The armor was breaking as Link’s eyes narrowed. He glancd to Pika who only nodded his head in reply.

“Go for it on my signal” Samus ordered as she and Diddy Kong held their weapons and fired at Mecha Ridley.

Mecha Ridley could only use his wings to protect himself, breath fire, and swing his tail to strike their attacks. Link waited as Pika continued to charge up his attack. Link finally found one piece of armor breaking off and revealing Ridley’s exposed skin. He pulled the arrow back with all his strength and Pika holding onto it. Link then released the arrow, sending it and Pika flying towards the Mecha Ridley!

“Hey….” Yellow asked in a tired manner as she rubbed her eyes and sat up, “What is going on?”

Samus was surprised to hear Yellow wake up as the Healer looked to see Pika flying through the air and riding on the arrow toward Mecha Ridley!  

“What is going on?!” Yellow exclaimed in disbelief as Diddy Kong patted her shoulder.

Pika happily, excitedly landed on the exposed skin of Mecha Ridley. Pika happily stood on his feet with his hands and tail up with electricity crackling from him.

“Pika, CHU!” he yelled as a powerful bolt of lightning crashed on Mecha Ridley!

The Space Pirate let out a painful cry as he could only hover in the air. Pika smirked as he ran to Mecha Ridley’s head, electricity charging throughout his body.

“Open fire!” Samus ordered as Link, Diddy Kong, and her fired their respective weapons at him.

Yellow was confused as Pika unleashed another “Thunder” attack, but she also wondered how he was going to return to them. Donkey Kong slammed his fists on the metal floor before pounding on his chest. He let out a roar before running and jumping toward Mecha Ridley while spinning his fist!

“What?!” Yellow shouted in confusion and worry as Donkey Kong then delivered a powerful punch right at Mecha Ridley’s chest!

Mecha Ridley was knocked away as Pika jumped into Donkey Kong’s arms. Captain Falcon quickly slowed the ship down to catch them before Samus and Link stood together. Samus charged up her cannon as Link drew another arrow. Together, they fired their respective weapons to strike Mecha Ridley further into the lab. Donkey Kong landed on the ship, shaking it as Captain Falcon cheered!

“We are out of here!” he declared as he gave on final push to have his ship fly out of the lab.

Mecha Ridley recovered, but he could hear a loud alarm echoing from the lab. Mecha Rildey realized what was happening and quickly flew out of the lab just as it exploded into another black hole! Mecha Ridley growled as he crashed landed on a deserted island.

“Samus! This will not be the last you see of me!” Mecha Ridley vowed as he roared, “I will find you! Tear you to sherds and finally defeat you! Mark my roar!”

The Space Pirate then flew away to recover, vowing his revenge against the only bounty hunter who could ever stop him. 

Chapter Text

Those in ships landed near the fighters who were fighting on land. They opened doors and were finally reunited with each other.

“Red! Green!” Yellow exclaimed in relief as she and Pika ran to two trainers with their four Pokémon.

Pika happily jumped to embrace his trainer as Green rushed to hug Yellow. The Pokémon cheered as Riley and Lucario joined the group as Red turned to the pair.

“Ah, you must be the new trainer joining us” Red greeted with a friendly wave, “After this is all over, I hope we can have a battle. I am Red! This is Green, Yellow, Blasty, Saur, Charizard, Ririri, and Pika”

Lucario went to greet the Pokémon who happily greeted him. Riley only grinned and introduced himself as he recalled seeing the famous ten Pokédex Holders fighting in one of the Battle Frontiers’ facilities. He felt honored to meet them and promised to take a photo and show Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Riley sensed a fighter with them that has an unusual power. He looked around and lowered his gaze to find Lucas hiding behind Red’s legs.

“Ah, and who are you, little one?” Riley asked politely as Lucas stepped out of Red’s legs to take a calm breath.

“I am Lucas. Red and Green were helping me find my friend, Ness” Lucas answered as Riley nodded his head in understanding.

“Well, with this many of us here, I am sure we will be able to find him in no time!” Red answered confidently as he glanced to see a tired yet smiling Green and excited Yellow.

Kirby happily floated to Meta Knight and exclaimed, “Puyo, puyo! (Meta Knight! I missed you!)”

“I missed you as well” Meta Knight answered as he let the pink warrior float around him and his ship.

He turned to see Marth and Ike waving and nodding at him. Meta Knight took a bow himself as he turned to check on the damages done to the ship. Fox and Falco rushed from their ship to greet Captain Falcon, Samus, and R.O.B with Snake standing to the side.

“How are you two holding up?” Falco asked with a smirk as Samus took off her armor to fix it up.

“Better than we expected. I am grateful to the friends I’ve made” she answered simply as she held a small smile for a moment, “What have you two been up to?”

Both stepped aside to reveal the trophy form of Wolf.

“We caught a bounty hunter causing trouble in between the worlds” Fox answered, “It wasn’t easy, but we did it. Though, I have a feeling he knows what is going on here”

“Let’s integrate him once everyone has settled down” Snake interjected, “Everyone is catching up and trying to take account for who is missing and where we should go from here. I am sure he’s going to help us with both”

They turned to the newcomer who pulled his invitation out from his pockets to hold it out to them.

“I was invited” he reassured them, “I came as soon as I could, but I have a suspicion that I am not the only one who was invited to this”

They were curious to know who he was referring to, but they decided to wait until everyone was ready. R.O.B still lowered his head in defeat for not being able to save his friends.

“Do not worry!” Olimar exclaimed as his Pikmin rushed to comfort R.O.B, “I am sure we will be able to help them and stop whoever is behind all of this!”

R.O.B stared at the astronaut with a perplexed expression as Mr. Game and Watch approached them with the Ice Climbers. He didn’t understand why the other fighters were comforting him.

“You’re a friend!” Popo answered simply as he jumped.

“And friends always help each other!” Nana added simply with a bright grin of her own.

Mr. Game and Watch even made a few funny expressions to cheer up R.O.B. The robot turned to his fellow fighters and friends and nodded his head to them. His eyes lit up in blue lights to show that he is delighted and thankful for his friends and their help.

Twilight Link stared at Link, both confused about seeing the other while Zelda and Twilight Zelda happily greeted each other. Toon Link looked between both Links, unsure of what to even say to both incarnations of him.

“Well, it is not every day we have a chance to meet another version of ourselves” Twilight Zelda spoke as she stood next to her Link.

“Ah! Well, I suppose you have a point, Zelda” Twilight Link answered as he tried to compose himself before his Zelda, “Also, I do apologize for not arriving sooner. I sensed the Master Sword’s calling and went to retrieve the blade. From there, I was caught up”

“I assumed as much” she replied gently with a knowing smile.

Link was happy see a version of himself talking so freely with another version of Zelda while Toon Link shook his head at the sight of them.

“Well, I have many questions I would love to ask all of you!” Zelda announced happily as she approached the Twilight couple, “I want to know more and more about our Hyrule! Please do not spare any details either!”

Twilight Link wasn’t sure what to inform her as Twilight Zelda only smiled. Marth and Ike approached Link with Pit rushing to greet the heroes and fighters before him.

“Wow! It is an honor to meet you! I’m Pit! I am servant to Lady Palutena!” Pit greeted happily as he hovered a bit to examine Link.

Link held a confused expression while Marth answered in a calm manner, “It is nice to meet you, Pit. We are past fighters in this tournament. You and Ike along with the other Link and Zelda are new to this one. I am grateful we have more allies to join us for the coming fight”

Ike looked at Twilight Link with an emotionless expression before smirking.

“So, after this, I wouldn’t mind sharing a fight with a version of Link who entered the tournament” Ike answered as Twilight Link’s expression turned determined.

“I wouldn’t mind that either! I would love to take you on!” Twilight Link said with confidence as Red perked up at the idea of an upcoming fight.

Mario rushed to greet Peach with Yoshi behind him. Mario gently held the princess’s hands who only giggled in reply. Yoshi yawned with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong approaching them. Mario let go of Peach’s hands and waved to the two gorillas.

“Oak, oak! (Hello Mario!)” Diddy Kong greeted happily as he gave the red plumber a hug.

Mario happily embraced the small gorilla before turning to search for his younger brother. He was saddened to not see Luigi among them.

“Oh, do not worry, Mario. I am sure we will find your little brother soon enough” Peach reassured him.

“For now, we have to stop those behind this” Fox said as he gestured to Wolf’s trophy form, “And I believe he can help us!”

He slammed his foot on the golden stand to make Wolf appear before them! Wolf growled as he realized he was standing around the heroic fighters and raised his hands up.

“What do you want with me now, Fox?” Wolf snarled as Fox shook his head.

“Answers” Twilight Link demanded first, “It is obvious that you and the other villains are up to something. We want to know what that is”

Wolf looked at Twilight Link who was standing in front of Twilight Zelda and Zelda. He chuckled as he realized why Twilight Ganondorf was eager to fight against them.

“Why would I answer you anything?” Wolf snarled as he stood up and turned away from them, “Especially when our plans are almost complete”

“What plans?” Green asked annoyed and furious.

“Oh, you’ll see” Wolf answered before throwing a kick at Fox!

Fox was knocked into Falco as Wolf sped out of the surrounding heroes.

“After him!” Red shouted as Pika used “Quick Attack” to catch up with Wolf. Wolf continued to run away from the mouse and threw a slash at the electric mouse.

Pika jumped up to avoid the slash, but Wolf cut Pika’s stomach to then kick the electric mouse away! Red and Yellow were flying on Charizard as Lucario used “Extreme Speed” to run after Wolf. Yellow caught the flying Pika and used her powers to heal him. Wolf continued to run until he smirked. He jumped as a Piranha Plant crashed before the trainers!

“Retreat!” Red shouted as he saw the plant preparing to swing the giant cages to capture them.

Lucario backflipped away from the first one as Charizard pulled itself away from the second one. Wolf jumped on Piranha Plant’s shoulder, laughed, and departed with him. Red growled as Yellow appeared concerned. Lucario landed before the trainers and returned with them to the rest of the fighters.

“Great, now we don’t know what Wolf is planning” Samus said annoyed.

“Well, we know it can’t be good since he and the other villains are working together” Pit pointed out as Toon Link shook his head.

Falco only laughed as he gained everyone’s attention.

“What did you do?” Captain Falcon asked as Fox sat up.

“It isn’t the first time we’ve had to dealt with Wolf and his escapes” the leader of Team Starfox answered with a knowing smirk, “We placed a tracker on him”

He held out a device and displayed a map of where Wolf was going.

“You sly fox” Marth commented with Ike only holding a satisfied grin.

They waited and watched the screen to see Wolf and Piranha Plant walking for a bit until they reached a rip in time and space.

“Well, that is something you do not see every day” Peach confessed as Mario pointed to the rip.

“It appears to be a rip in time and space, you know, the usual” Falco said so casually, “I believe we will be able to follow them”

“How?” Ike asked curiously.

Falco gestured to the ships behind them as Meta Knight understood.

“Kirby, I kept it safe” Meta Knight informed the pink puffball, “I am sure you know what to do with it”

“Puyo! (Yay! I do!)” Kirby happily exclaimed as he rushed into the ship and went to retrieve the item in question.

“And what about the rest of us?” Twilight Link asked as Twilight Zelda glanced to him.

“How many ships do we have, and can it carry everyone?” Olimar asked as he checked on his ship.

Green’s eyes were wide while Red’s were filled with excitement. Pit was jumping up and down with Toon Link groaning at the idea everyone was thinking.

“We get to fly?!” Red asked excitedly, Pit with delight, and Green with dread.

Everyone agreed as Olimar’s ship, the Dolphin, landed behind him. Captain Falcon’s ship was behind him as they went to work. They worked together to put the ships inside Meta Knight’s ship. Kirby departed with three items as Link glanced to the pink puffball running away from them.

“Do not worry” Marth reassured the Hero of Time, “Meta Knight explained the plan to me. I am sure this will work. For now, stay with Zelda. I’ll look after R.O.B”

Link only nodded his head as he followed Zelda into the Blue Falcon. The heroes boarded their respective ships.

“Ah! Did you miss me that much?” Wolf asked as he brought before his fellow villains, “Hey, where’s the gold digger?”

He landed before Piranha Plant and saw Bowser, Ganondorf, and Twilight Ganondorf. Wario wasn’t present.

“It doesn’t matter” Twilight Ganondorf answered, “We no longer have need for him. Is your ship ready?”

Wolf shrugged to reply, “Sure is. So, are we ready to get rid of those who annoy us for good?!”

Bowser roared in agreement with Ganondorf chuckling in response. Wolf walked to the edge of the purple and black dimension. He tapped something on his wrist and crossed his arms over his chest. He only laughed as his prized, giant spaceship appeared before him and the rest of the villains.

“Is this good enough?!” Wolf asked as he jumped and stood on it, “Now, let’s destroy them!”

He lowered the ship to have them climb on. The ship took off as Wolf guided it to the opening before them. The ship was slow, but it held a powerful cannon. They found themselves in the mashed-up world the creator of the tournament had made. So far, they didn’t see anyone standing against them.

“Where are they?” Bowser wondered as he searched for them.

“It doesn’t matter, they will appear” Twilight Ganondorf answered as he glanced to Wolf, “Charge up the cannon and prepare to fire. The more we destroy, the more we earn”

Wolf nodded his head as he summoned a screen and tapped away. The cannon began to power up as the villains remained quiet. Ganondorf gazed forward and noticed something approaching them.

“Hold” he spoke as Twilight Ganondorf turned his attention to the other version of him, “Something is approaching us”

“I’ll pull it up” Wolf answered as he summoned another screen to reveal Meta Knight’s ship, Halberd approaching them!

“So, they have finally arrived” Ganondorf said as Twilight Ganondorf checked on the cannon’s progress.

It will soon load, but they would have to wait for a little longer.

“That ship is small!” Bowser gloated, “It won’t be able to stop us!”

Wolf grinned as he noticed the cannon was fully charged.

“Well, then I believe it is finally time for us to say goodbye” Wolf said as he showed the screen to his fellow villains.

“Fire” Twilight Ganondorf declares as he waved his right hand with Bowser waving his left.

Wolf slammed his fist on the button to fire a giant, powerful laser straight through the Halberd. It was a direct hit! The laser was able to blast straight through the ship. The ship burst into flames, falling into pieces into the vast body of water.

“It is done!” Ganondorf exclaimed as Wolf let out a powerful roar.

The villains were pleased to have finally rid of the annoying heroes who always meddled in their lives. As Twilight Ganondorf and Wolf were preparing their ship for another strike, Bowser noticed something strange.

“Wait, something is coming out of the fire!” Bowser shouted as he and Ganondorf stared at the blazing fire with debris falling from it.

Everyone remained quiet until they were stunned and angered by the site before them. Many ships burst from the flaming Halberd and flew towards them!

“Shoot them all down!” Twilight Ganondorf ordered.

“Yeah, yeah!” Wolf snarled as he redirected the cannon’s power to the many cannons to fire at the many ships coming towards them.

The ships were barely avoiding the incoming lasers, but they didn’t have worry for so long. As the villains were distracted by the many ships, Kirby was flying in on the Red Dragoon! He was grateful Meta Knight kept it with him. Kirby was not going to let his friends down! He directed the Red Dragoon to strike the center of the ship at high speed.

“What?!” Bowser said as he and the other villains felt the ship shake!

They held onto the handles and floor as they tried to keep themselves from falling. Wolf pulled up a screen as he growled at the site of Kirby riding the Red Dragoon and cutting through the ship!

“Very well” Twilight Ganondorf said as he gestured to them to turn around.

“Are you sure?” Bowser asked surprised.

“They have this one, but they will not win the war” Twilight Ganondorf answered as he turned around to march on ahead.

Ganondorf followed him with Bowser behind him. Wolf was furious as he had no choice but to retreat. He turned away as his ship burst into fire and slowly breaking apart. The heroes used their ships to chase after the villains. They were ready to reach their Final Destination together.

Chapter Text

“Well, that plan could’ve gone worse” Fox expressed as he glanced to his friends who were recovering from the attack.

He glanced to them with Falco simply laughing at his leader’s tired expression. Falco put up another screen to reveal the other ships and fighters.

“Is everyone ok?” Fox asked over the speakers.

“Yes” Marth answered as he was riding in the Dolphin, “Are we almost at our destination?”

“I believe so” Olimar answered with his Pikmin holding onto his helmet.

The heroes were ready as their ships landed on a rocky platform. Everyone stepped out of the ships and were greeted with an interesting site before them. It is true they have travelled far and have seen many wonderful worlds, but they did not expect to see anything like this.

The floor was rocky and covered with a faint purple glow. The sky was holding many stars, signifying many worlds and universes. The sky was dark with the colors of black, purple, and navy. There were wormholes opening and holding entrances and exits to other worlds. Before them was a large opening to a temple of sorts.

“Well, there is only one way to go” Ike commented.

“And that’s forward!” Pit finished excitedly.

Mario, Link, Marth, Pika, Samus, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Kirby, and Fox took the lead to march forward with their goal to stop the villains and restore their worlds to normal.

“Well, that plan blew up in our faces” Wolf commented, annoyed and frustrated with his best ship being destroyed so easily by Kirby, “What are we going to tell the boss about this?”

They were quiet, pondering their next move. They couldn’t inform Master Hand that they failed with the heroes coming after them. Bowser continued to march on ahead with a shrug. He wanted to at least inform the Master Hand and hopefully have some help to defeat Mario and his annoying friends.

“Do not worry. You won’t be there to inform him” Twilight Ganondorf answered as he drew the same gun Wario had used and open fired on Bowser!

Wolf was stunned as Bowser was forced into his trophy form. Ganondorf held another gun and took aim at Wolf.

“This is what I get for helping you!” Wolf snarled as he ran to avoid the attack.

Ganondorf snarled as Twilight Ganondorf took another aim to strike Wolf. Wolf continued to run and avoid it until both aimed their guns at both sides, leaving Wolf stranded! He cursed as he tried to find a way out, but he was struck down and forced into his trophy form! They kicked Bowser and Wolf trophies away and marched to the end of the cliff to find Master Hand being held by Tabuu!

“What is this?” Tabuu asked through Master Hand, “Where are the others?”

“They fell” Ganondorf reported with a bow.

“And now, we are here to finish the mission” Twilight Ganondorf agreed as he took a bow, “So, please tell us what will do with the world”

Tabuu simply hovered in the air as he raises his head to answer, “I am close to finding the being that has created this world. I will soon have him and his power. With that, I will use it to take over the worlds and rewrite it in my own image”

Ganondorf was surprised as Twilight Ganondorf noticed this.

“What will you do to that being?” Ganondorf asked as he reflected on the power and abilities Sakurai had possessed.

He wasn’t sure if Tabuu should have that power. Master Hand struggled in Tabuu’s grip, disagreeing with the idea of hurting Sakurai.

“Will you defy me?” Tabuu asked as he noticed the struggling hand, “Why? I am so close to rewriting everything. How long will you resist me?”

The hand continued to struggle and tried to rip itself from Tabuu’s hold. Tabuu sighed as he noticed there was no point in reasoning with the hand.

“Very well” Tabuu answered as he effortlessly flaps his technological wings to break the chains holding Master Hand to cast him aside.

This surprised the Ganondorfs as they took a stance.

“Why do you want that being?” Ganondorf stated as he prepared for a fight.

“And why did you fail to mention that you were on a path to claim him?” Twilight Ganondorf demanded as he let the darkness gather to his fist.

Master Hand hit the ground with a thud and rolled for a bit. Then, the Master Hand trembled with rage and clenched itself into a fist before lunging itself to deliver a punch on Tabuu.

“Nothing will be enough to stop me” Tabuu stated as he flapped his wings to send another powerful wave of energy to blow the Master Hand and both Ganondorf away from him.

This didn’t stop the Master Hand who picked himself up and prepared to throw another punch at Tabuu. The digital being didn’t even turn to face the hand. All Tabuu did was raise his digital wings to then flap it to unleash a powerful wave of energy to strike the hand away! The Master Hand flew and hit the ground with another thud before losing the power to pick itself up.

“That is impossible” Ganondorf claimed as Twilight Ganondorf turned to Tabuu.

Tabuu only raised his head to face them. The being barely lifted a single wing to flap and cast a powerful energy wave to strike both down! They were surprised and cried out in defeat. They were reverted into their trophies and hit the ground with a thud. The Ganondorfs laid among the villains they betrayed and were frozen in place.

“Finally” Tabuu whispered as he slowly turned around, “I shall find that being and claim his power as my own. From there, I shall rule over the worlds and turn everything into my image”

Tabuu’s wings glowed multicolored lights. Tabuu prepared to embark and find the being until Tabuu gazed at the ground to see it shake with tremendous powers! This caught Tabuu off guard as Tabuu turned around to see an army of lights approaching him. He looked at the light and discovered the heroes had found a way to reach him! He was impressed and frustrated by them.

“Why are you here?” Tabuu whispered as he gazed at them.

Standing before him were many who fought beings of darkness, malicious intents, and immense powers. He was sure they were here to stop him. It frustrated him. Why were they here to stop him?!

He saw Mario standing before Princess Peach and Yoshi at his side. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were right behind them, slamming their fists on the ground. Link stood next to Twilight Link. Beside Twilight Link stood Twilight Zelda. Princess Zelda was standing next to Link with Toon Link in front of her. Kirby hopped up and down with Meta Knight standing right next to him. Fox and Falco were standing beside each other as Captain Falcon and Samus were behind them with Snake. Olimar was cowering with his Pikmin before the group, but Game and Watch was right next to him to offer his support. R.O.B was standing to the left as Nana and Popo smiled and raised their hammers. Pit held his bow and prepared to take aim as Marth held Falchion and Ike drew Ragnell. Red stood with Blasty, Saur, and Charizard before him. Next to Red was Yellow with Pika on her shoulder. Green was standing next to her as she held Ririri in her arms. Riley tipped his hat up with Lucario at his side. Before the Pokémon trainers stood a nervous Lucas. Together, they were ready for a final fight against Tabuu.

“Why do you interfere?” Tabuu asked in a tired tone before his wings changed colors violently, “When I am close to my ambitions and desires! I will not let you take this away from me!”

Raising both his wings, Tabuu flapped only once to unleash a beautiful, powerful, multicolored flap. The Heroes didn’t have any time to react as the single attack struck them! They transformed into their trophies and fell to the ground with a thud. No one could move and no one could fight Tabuu.

Realizing that there was no one who could stop him, Tabuu chuckled to himself and proclaimed, “Finally! I will have the power and then everything will be under my spatial, digital control!”

Using his remaining powers, he unleashed a powerful, pink wave of spatial energy to pull the worlds he reset into his control. With the worlds under his control, he searched through it to find Sakurai and take his powers as his own.

Chapter Text

Although not all the heroes were defeated by Tabuu’s attack. In the castle King Dedede resided in, the statues of Luigi, Ness, and King Dedede were knocked onto the floor with the timers intact for Luigi and Ness. A golden light flashed over their trophies and awakened them!

“Wah?!/Whoa!” Luigi and Ness shouted in a surprised manner before sitting up and observing their surroundings.

Luigi was dazed and holding his spinning head as Ness shook his head to recover quickly. He noticed the castle was in ruins and turned to Luigi. He gasped when he saw a golden badge on his nose and pulled it off him. Luigi let out another wail as he fell to the ruined ground. Ness examined the badge.

“Where did you get this?” he asked Luigi who sat up and shook his head.

“Uh, I don’t know, but you have one too” Luigi replied as he gestured to the same on Ness’s shirt.

Ness looked down at his shirt to see the badge and then turned his attention to the trophy on the ground. He let out a “hum” before walking towards the trophy. He motioned Luigi to follow him as he discards the badge. Ness and Luigi removed the debris on King Dedede. Ness then pressed his hand on the golden stand to revive King Dedede.

“What?” the king asked as he sat up and stumbled back.

“Easy there, mister” Ness advised as he helped the king sit up with Luigi’s help.

King Dedede looked at the two of them in surprise.

“Are you ok?” Ness asked politely as he held a gentle expression.

The king explained his side of the story. Ness added his input with Luigi’s input from time-to-time. They were surprised to hear how their stories lined up and who was really behind this. King Dedede stood up and pointed forward.

“Therefore, it is reasonable to assume the others are no longer with us!” King Dedede stated strongly as he waved his hand forward, “Are you ready to come with me and find them?!”

“Yes!” Ness answered determinedly as Luigi trembled, but he nodded his head in determination.

“Then, we shall be off! We must find everyone!” King Dedede proclaimed as he marched forward with Luigi and Ness following him.

They exited the castle and turned around to see a terrifying site before them. behind the castle was a giant, black worm hole!

“That must be where everyone is!” Ness exclaimed as he held up his fists, “We have to go in there and find everyone!”

The trio departed from the castle. They approached the wormhole, but Luigi was scared. He wasn’t sure if he could do this, but Ness held his hand out to the green plumber.

“We can do this together. You are not facing this alone” Ness reassured Luigi with a grin.

Luigi sighed, smiled, and took Ness’s hand. King Dedede laughed in delight at their little moment and decided to hold Luigi’s other hand, surprising the plumber. Together, they shared a nod before jumping through the wormhole. They let out a scream before they crashed onto a field of emptiness and vacancy.

“What is this?” Luigi asked nervously as the emptiness around him before cupping his hands, “MARIO! WHERE ARE YOU?!”

He didn’t receive a response and trembled as Ness looked for any sign of Lucas or the others. He looked to King Dedede who was also saddened to not see any of his friends present either. However, before them were many portals and gateways to other places for the tournament. They felt overwhelmed and wondered how they were going to find everyone quickly. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over them! Luigi and Ness grabbed their hats to prevent them from flying away.

“Hey there!” Sonic’s friendly voice called to them as he was standing before them with a grin, “Are you here for this tournament and to help the leader of it? Oh, right, Sonic’s the name, speed’s my game!”

He flashed a thumb up and grinned as the trio were surprised at the newcomer before them. They didn’t expect to meet another one when everyone else had been defeated.

Ness stepped up to ask, “But how do we know you were really invited and not another enemy? We’ve already lost our friends! We will fight you if you are not on our side!”

Sonic blinked a couple times. He wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction from him, but it did make sense. Sonic swiped the letter out of his quills and turned it over to them with his other hand raised.

“See? A friend! Promise. If you still don’t trust me, then tell me what else you want me to prove!” Sonic offered with a grin.

Ness took the letter and held it before himself, Luigi, and King Dedede. It was the same Smash Invitation that they had received to participate in the tournament. Ness opened it to read its contents to the other two. They were surprised to hear that Sakurai had chosen this blue hedgehog for their tournament and had requested his help as well! Satisfied with the contents of the letter, Ness turned it over to the hedgehog.

“Ok, we trust you” Ness said as he nodded his head.

Luigi and King Dedede explained the current situation to Sonic. He listened as he stretched and bounced on his feet. His ears flickered when he heard about everyone being defeated by this powerful being. Sonic closed his eyes, tapped his foot, and pondered on this.

“So, what do you want to do from here?” Sonic asked as he grinned at them, “It seemed like you have a plan. I’ll follow it!”

The three of them were relieved he was willing to listen to them, but Ness noticed Sonic’s gaze was towards the portals. Sonic grinned at it with anticipation. To him, it looked like he could run around everywhere and anywhere! He can jump from portal to portal and explore new places!

“Do you like to run?”  Ness asked as he caught Sonic’s gaze at the portals.

“Yep! Just someone who loves speed and adventure! This place is perfect for me!” Sonic answered as he flashed a grin.

“Then, I have an idea” Nessa said as he faced everyone, “Our friends are trapped in the portals and separated from each other. We have to find them. Sonic can start in the back first since he is the quickest runner. The three of us will start from the front. From there, we should meet in the middle and fight the true enemy behind this!”

He sounded confident in his plans, but Luigi was trembling.

“But this attack was so quick and powerful! How are we going to counter it this time?” Luigi pointed out nervously.

Ness hadn’t thought of that and pouted. How were they going to counter the attack? Even if they had everyone, no one could take the attack.

“Hold it, you said the attack is quick?” Sonic asked with interest in his voice.

Luigi only nodded as Sonic chuckled to reply, “I am the fastest thing alive! I am sure I can out speed and damage the enemy before he even uses it!”

“Do you really think you can do this?” Ness asked surprised.

“Sure thing! Leave it to me!” Sonic reassured them before holding his hand out, “So, are we ready to do this, team?”

Ness excitedly placed his hand over Sonic’s, Luigi nervously placed his on top of Ness’s, and King Dedede placed his flipper on his hand. They shared a laugh and cheer as they threw their hands up in the air!

“Ok, watch out for each other! I’ll be back soon!” Sonic said as he winked, grinned, and ran off in a blue blur.

The wind blew over them as they made sure to hold onto to their hats and clothes to not lose into the wind. Once the wind died away, they shared a determined nod and walked towards the portals together. As they were walking through the dark, empty lands, the Kirby trophy shined brightly and returned the pink puffball to his original form! He hopped in the air and then spat out a badge! Kirby shook himself before staring at the badge in wonder.

“Puyo! (King Dedede!)” Kirby cheered before running to find anyone who could’ve survived the attack.

He was dismayed to not see anyone else present, but he shook his head and ran to the staircase. Kirby was determined to find his friends and bring them back. As he ran towards the stairs, he noticed three figures walking to the stair case!

“Puyo! (Hello!)” Kirby shouted in delight as he ran towards them, “Puyo! (King Dedede!)”

The king turned around and was embraced by the pink puffball! He even let out a happy cheer to be reunited with friend as Luigi and Ness jumped to embrace their friend! They threw Kirby in the air before informing him of their plans and meeting Sonic. Kirby nodded his head as he agreed and followed them. They continued to walk until Luigi tripped over a trophy’s tail.

“Are you ok, Luigi?” Ness asked as Kirby helped him sit up.

“I think so. What did I trip over?” Luigi asked as he shook his head and then turned to see Bowser’s trophy, “Ah! Bowser!”

The mighty Koopa King was stuck in his trophy form. Luigi, Ness, and Kirby wondered what they should do with Bowser. Although Bowser was invited to the tournament, he was one of the villains who caused this destruction. They weren’t sure if they could honestly trust him.

“We will need all the help we can get” King Dedede said in a determined tone as he marched right up to the trophy and tapped the golden stand.

The trio let out a surprised yell as Bowser was revived before them! Bowser blinked a couple of times before letting out a powerful roar when he recalled how the Ganondorfs betrayed him! He was determined to find them to make them pay for double crossing him!

“Enough of thoughts like that!” King Dedede shouted as he gripped his hammer and swung it to strike the Koopa King in his stomach, “We have more important things to worry about! Look at this place we are in!”

“I don’t care about that!” Bowser replied with a roar, “All I care about is my revenge!”

“When Bowser is like this, there is no stopping him unfortunately” Luigi said in a defeated tone with his shoulders lowered.

King Dedede shook his head as he pointed his hammer at the Koopa King to declare, “Very well. If he will not listen to reason, I shall knock some sense into him!”

“Are you sure? Aren’t we pressed for time?” Ness asked unsure.

“We will need everyone’s help if we are going to stop the enemy behind all of this! I will make sure Bowser is on our side!” King Dedede answered as he jumped and then dropped down directly over the Koopa King!

Bowser rolled away and breathed fire as King Dedede landed. King Dedede held his hammer to protect himself from the fire as Bowser marched over to him. Bowser drew his fist back and swung it, but King Dedede held his hammer to take the blow!

“King Dedede!” Ness shouted with worry.

He wasn’t sure how long the king was going to hold out for, but Luigi and Kirby stopped him from running into the fight. King Dedede spun the hammer in his hands before drawing it back just as Bowser drew his fist back. They swung their respective attacks to collide with each other! Bowser wasn’t giving up, but King Dedede saw this as his chance. He jumped up and then swung his hammer downward to deliver a hit on Bowser’s head! The Koopa King reached for his head as he cried out in pain.

“Nice hit!” Luigi cheered as King Dedede smirked and drew his hammer back again.

King Dedede summoned Gordos and smacked each one towards Bowser. Bowser tried to punch one away, but he hurt his fist! He let out another roar as he spun on his feet. He swung his tail to knock the Gordos away, but some were heading towards Ness, Luigi, and Kirby! Kirby opened his mouth to inhale and spit it to the ground. King Dedede was relieved before charging and then tackling the Koopa King away from their fellow fighters!

“What are you doing?!” Bowser roared as he saw himself and King Dedede being pushed towards the edge of the ground!

King Dedede then grabbed Bowser as he was caught off guard to then swing him over his shoulder! He threw the Koopa King away from the edge and then spun in place with his hammer extended. King Dedede let out a roar as he spun himself towards Bowser to then deliver a powerful blow to the Koopa King’s stomach!

“Gah!” Bowser shouted as he was knocked away and clutched his stomach before rolling on the ground.

King Dedede wasn’t done as he lunged after the Koopa King. Bowser growled as he waited for the king to be near him. King Dedede jumped and prepared to belly flop the Koopa King!

“Got you!” Bowser roared as he fell onto his stomach and spun his shell!

King Dedede gasped until he was struck repeatedly by Bowser’s shell! King Dedede cried out in pain as Bowser chuckled. He finally got the king where he wanted! Bowser ceased spinning as King Dedede crashed onto the ground, but Bowser grabbed the king roughly. He chuckled and repeatedly punched the king! Once he was finished, Bowser threw King Dedede to the ground!

“King Dedede!” Ness shouted as the king groaned in pain and glared at the Koopa King.

“What kind of king are you?!” Bowser mocked as he cracked his knuckles, “You can’t take those kinds of hits!”

Bowser simply laughed at the beaten state King Dedede was in. Bowser was sure the king couldn’t stand against him now. King Dedede grabbed his hammer and glared at the Koopa King. They have to find the other fighters and stop this threat before it hurts their worlds.

“I’ve taken the same amount of hits as you!” King Dedede answered as he picked himself up slowly, “But being a king means taking care of your subjects and wanting what is best for them! So, I will do that! I will free our friends and make sure we have another fun tournament!”

King Dedede slammed his hammer on the ground to then propel himself forward! This surprised Bowser who prepared to block the incoming king. Luigi, Ness, and Kirby cheered for King Dedede as he then spun himself with his hammer out!

“Yarh!” King Dedede yelled as he put everything into his hammer.

He then slammed the hammer against Bowser’s chest to deliver a powerful blow! Bowser gasped as he glanced to see King Dedede’s determined expression. King Dedede glared at the king as he then knocked Bowser into the ground! Bowser roared before transforming into his trophy form again! King Dedede sighed as he picked himself up and then pulled the trophy up to examine.

“That was incredible!” Luigi shouted in disbelief.

“Thank you, but I am exhausted” King Dedede confessed in a tired manner before walking up to the trophy, “But, we will need all the help we can get”

He pressed the golden stand to reawaken Bowser who woke up with another powerful roar. He then smacked King Dedede away, but he was caught by Luigi and Ness.

“Do you want to fight me again?!” Bowser roared until Luigi stepped between them as he trembled in place.

“Enough! There is more at stake than just your kingdom!” Luigi shouted, “We have others to think about! What about Bowser Jr.?!”

This stopped the Koopa King who was grumbling. He hated to admit it, but Luigi was right. Bowser didn’t want anything bad to happen to Bowser Jr.

“Fine, but what are we going to do about the state of the worlds?” Bowser asked seriously.

“We are going into the maze” Ness explained, “From there, we will find the other figters and bring them back to fight the main enemy!”

Bowser rolled his eyes, but he knew they were right. Together, they marched through the entrance and entered the Great Maze.

“Puyo, puyo, puyo, puyo (I do wonder how Sonic is fairing)” Kirby pondered as he floated after them.

The Blue Blur was running through the forest first. He loved hearing the leaves crunch underneath his feet as he ran through it. He glanced to find a trophy in the river. Sonic smirked and sped towards the trophy. He tapped the golden stand to restore Yoshi to normal!

“Yoshi! Yoshi? Yoshi? (Woah! That wasn’t fun. Who are you?)” Yoshi asked as examined Sonic curiously.

Sonic quickly explained the situation as Yoshi recounted what happened to him and the rest of the fighters who encountered Tabuu.

“Interesting” Sonic said with a confident expression, “The more I hear about this enemy, the more I am excited!”

Yoshi tilted his head to the side in bewilderment as Sonic waved his hand to reassure him.

“But we should find the others first” Sonic reassured the Yoshi, “So, where do you think we should go next?”

Yoshi tilted his head to the other side. He was just confused by the hedgehog. Regardless, Yoshi looked around for any sign of their friends. They were just about to leave the forest when they found another trophy in the plains.

“Yoshi! (Diddy Kong!)” Yoshi exclaimed as he ran as fast as he could to touch the golden stand and catch the weakened gorilla, “Yoshi? (Are you ok?)”

Diddy Kong shook his head as Sonic was impressed with Yoshi’s speed. Sonic caught up to them as Diddy Kong jumped at the sight of the blue hedgehog. Yoshi reassured Diddy Kong that Sonic was on their side and not an enemy.

“Oak! Oak, oak?! (Ok! Oh, but where is Donkey Kong?!)” Diddy Kong shouted with worry as he looked for his uncle.

Sonic felt a little sorry for the little gorilla and glanced around. Sonic noticed a tall tree in the distance and smiled. He kneeled beside Diddy Kong to hold his hand out.

“Come on! Why don’t we look for him together? I can take up to the tree to get a better view of this place!” Sonic offered as Diddy Kong looked to Yoshi for guidance.

Yoshi simply nodded his head as Diddy Kong agreed. Sonic then picked up Diddy Kong to then run up the tree. Diddy Kong let out a surprised scream as he held onto a laughing Sonic.

“Can you see him?” Sonic asked warmly as Diddy Kong looked around for Donkey Kong.

He couldn’t find him so far and slumped his shoulders. Sonic shook his head and wondered if they could find another place to see everything. He was they could find their friend. Yoshi ran up the tree to join them and then wrapped his tongue around Sonic’s waist.

“Eh! What are you doing?!” Sonic asked worriedly as Yoshi threw Sonic upward!

Diddy Kong and Sonic let out a surprised yell until Sonic threw Diddy Kong upward. Diddy Kong was able to see everything and gasped as he saw in the deepest parts of the swamp was Donkey Kong’s trophy!

“Oak! Oak, oak! Oak! (Donkey Kong! He’s here! In the deep!)” Diddy Kong shouted as Sonic jumped to catch the little gorilla and then land on the tree.

“Ok, take us away!” Sonic said as he placed Diddy Kong on the tree.

Diddy Kong nodded his head as he ran on ahead with Yoshi and Sonic following him. Though, once they reached the deeper swamps, Sonic picked up Diddy Kong and held him again.

“Ok, so we need to be quick on our feet” Sonic informed Diddy Kong before turning to Yoshi, “Now, are you ready?”

Yoshi nodded as both ran and jumped over areas of the swamp. They finally reached the other side and found Donkey Kong’s trophy. Sonic gently placed Diddy Kong on the safe areas of the swamp. Diddy Kong placed his hands on the golden stand and revived Donkey Kong!

“Oak? Oak, oak! Oak! (What? Oh, I am back! Diddy Kong!)” Donkey Kong roared as he slammed his hands on his chest and then picked up Diddy Kong to spin him in place.

Diddy Kong laughed in delight as Yoshi and Sonic shared a high five before turning to the deeper forest. They felt the ground shake as they slowly turned around to see something coming towards them.

“What is that?” Sonic asked as he saw something flying towards them.

Donkey Kong shared a nod with Diddy Kong as both were standing before Yoshi and Sonic. Suddenly, Rayquaza appeared before them and let out a powerful roar! Sonic grinned as he held up his fists.

“Oh, I am so ready to fight a dragon!” Sonic said with a grin.

“Oak! Oak, oak, oak! Oak, oak! Oak, oak!  (No! We need help! You and Yoshi are fast! Find the Pokémon Trainers! They can help us!)” Diddy Kong ordered as he drew his peanut guns and prepared for a fight.

Sonic was surprised before grinning. He patted Yoshi’s head and then to the forest to find more fighters to help them.

“Let’s make it into a competition! Let’s see who can find the most fighters and come back sooner to help beat the dragon wins!” Sonic said with a grin before running.

Yoshi shook his head, nodded to the Kongs, and ran the other way to find more trophies. Sonic ran to the treetops in the forest and jumped from each other until he found a Ririri’s trophy. Sonic let out a happy yell before jumping and tapping the golden stand to revive her and Green!

“Woah! That is not at all what I thought I was going to experience. Actually, it reminds me of the time I was petrified” Green said with a shudder at the memory as Ririri hovered above her trainer, “I am glad you’re ok, but how did we get here? We were fighting against that giant creature”

“Tabuu” Sonic answered as he is standing across from her and on another treetop, “Sup! Sonic the Hedgehog! Do you know anything about a giant green dragon?”

Green was surprised to see him, but she focused on his words, “Rayquaza? Yeah, what about the dragon?”

“It seems he is anger and awakened here. Do you think you can help the others with Rayquaza?” Sonic asked as he stretched, “Yoshi and I are gathering the others. So, can you handle it?”

Ririri puffed up and floated above her trainer. Green grabbed Ririri’s foot and hovered in the air.

“Sure, sure” Green said with a shake of her head, “Well, better get the lead out! The more the merrier when it comes to fighting Rayquaza!”

Sonic smirked as he ran the other way to find the others. Yoshi jumped from tree to tree and to find Captain Falcon’s trophy on the tallest tree! Yoshi quickly ran up the tree, jumped off it, stuck his tongue out, and used it to stick to one of the leaves on the trees. He threw himself upward and flew right above the tree! Yoshi dropped down and tapped the golden stand and caught Captain Falcon.

“Woah! What was that?” Captain Falcon asked surprised as Yoshi happily cheered to see him safe and sound, “Oh! Yoshi! What happened? Where is everyone?”

Yoshi tried to explain everything to him, but Captain Falcon’s visor came online. He noticed several trophies were scattered near them and checked each trophy. He located them and gasped when he found Samus’ trophy in the swamp along with two others!

“Samus!” Captain Falcon said surprised and discovered Fox and Falco near her, “Oh! Fox and Falco are there! Yoshi, you’ve got this from here, right?”

He happily nodded his head as he ran towards them with Captain Falcon turning around to see Rayquaza fighting their friends. He ran to them as Yoshi swung his tongue to tap the golden stands on Fox’s and Falco’s stands and then on Samus’ stand. All three landed before Yoshi who happily greeted at them.

“Yoshi, yoshi? (How is everyone?)” Yoshi asked as they landed before him.

“Fine, but I wouldn’t mind taking a crack at that being who forced us into a defeated state” Falco said as he cracked his wings.

“What do you need us to do?” Samus asked as she felt her suit coming online.

Yoshi quickly explained the situation to them as Fox grinned, “Ah, so we’ve got another fight until we can finally defeat the being behind this. I can’t wait!”

Yoshi was relieved everyone was ready as they turned back to Rayquaza. The dragon let out another roar before swinging his tail to strike Donkey Kong who prepared to block it! Diddy Kong ran along the tail and drew his two peanut guns to fire right at Rayquaza’s eyes! Rayquaza let out a painful yell before drawing his tail back and hovering right above Diddy Kong! He let out a screech as Sonic quickly sped to grab Diddy Kong to avoid being crushed!

“Phew! That was a close one!” Sonic said in relief as he landed on the ground and grinned at Diddy Kong, “So, how’s it going?”

Diddy Kong sighed in relief as Rayquaza let out another roar and flew towards the pair! Sonic gripped Diddy Kong before running away with a laugh. Diddy Kong drew his peanut guns to fire at Rayquaza. Captain Falcon jumped, drew his fist back with fire forming around it.

“FALCON PUNCH!” he yelled as he threw a powerful punch right on Rayquaza’s head!

Rayquaza crashed into the swamp as Captain Falcon landed before it and grinned. Sonic placed Diddy Kong on the ground as Donkey Kong charged and tried to hold down Rayquaza!

“Do you think he’s strong enough to do that?” Sonic asked curiously as Green landed on the ground and was stunned to see Rayquaza being defeated by them!

“I actually don’t know” she confessed as she let Ririri go, “Crystal knows about this more than me, but for now, we have to weaken him. I don’t know if he’s heard of me, but I think I have a way to calm him down”

“Please inform us of this!” Falco shouted as he and Fox rushed in front of everyone, “Because I am sure he will not let us have another chance to recover!”

Rayquaza picked himself up and roared, trying to startle his foes before him. However, they were still standing strong and against him without too much fear in their features.

“Ririri needs to reach Rayquaza’s ears” Green shouted seriously, “Ririri will sing into his ears and put him to sleep. After that, I am actually not sure how we are going to reason with him, but I think we will figure that out!”

Everyone agreed as they charged at the dragon to defeat him once and for all. Fox, Falco, Yoshi, and Sonic ran around the dragon to confuse him and miss his attacks.

“Come on! Try and hit me!” Sonic taunted as Rayquaza unleashed a powerful beam towards Sonic!

Rayquaza let out another roar as he prepared to attack only to feel Fox and Falco running along his back!

“I think he noticed us!” Falco commented with a laugh as Rayquaza moved his body up and down and side to side to try and shake both Star Fox members off his back!

They were sent flying in the air as Sonic jumped and flew right pass them with Yoshi following him. Both drew their legs back and delivered a pair of powerful kicks to his stomach! Rayquaza let out a pained roar before falling to the ground. Sonic and Yoshi quickly land as Rayquaza takes his chance to swing his tail to strike both away from him!

“Woah!/Yoshi!” both shouted as they were sent flying into the forest and swamps.

Rayquaza slowly picked himself up and prepared to fly after them until he couldn’t. For some reason, Rayquaza couldn’t move. He turned around to feel two giant hands holding his tail and discover Donkey Kong to be the one behind it!

“Oak, oak! (Now is your chance!)” Donkey Kong grunted as he felt his grip slipping.

Samus rushed behind Rayquaza and took aim to fire a powerful shot from her cannon arm. The shot hit Rayquaza, forcing him to distance himself from them and slow his movements down.

“You paralyzed Rayquaza!” Green said amazed as she noticed Rayquaza was taking time to charge up his next attack.

Fox and Falco rushed to deliver their own punches and kicks to strike Rayquaza until he was exhausted from their continuous strikes. They landed around him as they pulled out their blasters and took aim with Diddy Kong standing between them. All three opened fired and blasted Rayquaza with their blasters and guns!

“Captain Falcon! One more punch!” Green shouted as Ririri hovered above her trainer.

They floated upward as Captain Falcon took another running start, jumped, and drew his flaming fist back before the Sky High Pokémon.

“FALCON PUNCH!” he yelled as the flames burned brighter until he threw a powerful punch right at Rayquaza’s chest to knock him deep into the ground!

Rayquaza let out a weak roar as Green and Ririri landed above his head. She let go of Ririri and covered her ears as her Pokémon began to use “Sing”. Everyone covered their ears as well as the Ririripuff continued to sing until it was enough for the Sky High Pokémon to fall asleep.

“Phew!” Green said as she wiped the sweat from her brow, “That should do it. Now, there is one more thing to do”

Green approached the unconscious Rayquaza and examined him for a moment. She opened her Pokedex and nodded to herself as she turned around to face Ririri.

“Once he wakes up, he should be calm. We should be able to explain everything to him, but take this and show it to him, ok?” Green informed Ririri as she held her Pokédex out to her Ririri, “Everyone stand back and just wait. Cover me if I say so!”

The fighters nodded their head as they slowly stood away from her, her Pokémon, and the Sky High Pokémon. The Sky High Pokémon slowly woke up and glanced around to see her and the Ririripuff before him. He recovered and faced them until she held a Pokédex before him.

“Woah, woah!” Green said with a wave of her hand and presented the Pokédex to him, “I am a friend, see? Didn’t you aid Ruby, Sapphire, Wally, and Emerald? I am their friend”

Rayquaza glanced at the device and then at her. His eyes fell on the Pokédex as she only grinned. The Sky High Pokémon let out another roar and lowered his head. He let her pet his head before he took off and returned to Sky Pillar. Green sighed in relief as she sat down with Ririri landing on her lap and cuddling up to her trainer.

“I am relieved too. I wasn’t sure how this was going to go” Green confessed as she petted Ririri, “So, what do we have to do next?”

She looked around to see the other fighters approaching her as she held a tired expression. Samus held her hand out to help Green stand up with Ririri flying above her head.

“We’ve got another fight to deal with” Fox said as Donkey Kong nodded his head.

“Yep! So, try and stay on our heels as we guide you back to the final boss” Sonic said with a grin as he stretched, “This brawl isn’t over just yet”

The rest of the fighters agreed as they followed Yoshi and Sonic to their Final Destination.

Ness, Luigi, and King Dedede with Bowser separated and searched for the remaining fighters scattered in the Great Maze. Ness found himself in a research facility that appeared to be broken and ruined.

“Woah. This is different” Ness commented before shaking his head, “But I must find the others! Where do I even start?”

In the distance, he noticed some broke ruins and nodded to himself to check the research facility and found it abandoned. He used his powers to glow and light up the area before him and walked slowly to the basement and found himself in a broken, discared generator room where a Pikachu trophy stood!

“I found you!” Ness said in relief as he used PK Thunder to propel himself forward and touch the golden stand.

“Ah! Ow!” Yellow exclaimed as she hit the cold, floor and rubbed the back of her head, “Where am I? I didn’t expect that to happen for the second time”

Pika jumped in the air and landed in her lap to cuddle against her. Ness held his hand out to them.

“Oh, thank you, Ness!” Yellow said in relief as she took his hands to stand up with Pika sitting on her shoulder, “What happened? Where are we?”

Ness explained everything to her and Pika who were surprised to hear this. She wondered how her friends were fairing, but she wasn’t too worried.

“Well, we should get going and find the others” Yellow said with a nod of her head, “Where do you think the others could be?”

“I don’t know” Ness answered unsure, “You were the first person I found and Pika too”

Pika hopped from Yellow’s shoulder to puff up his cheeks to use the move “Flash” to light up the area around themselves. Yellow was surprised at their location.

“I’ve been here before” Yellow informed Ness, “We were here when we first arrived. We were trying to make our way to the tournament, but we got captured by the Space Pirate. I wonder if we were taken to locations where we’ve been before”

She walked forward as Pika jumped to her shoulder again. Together, they walked through the damaged areas of the facility to find the area where the R.O.Bs were destroyed. Yellow was sure of it as she ran deeper inside to find the trophy of R.O.B among the broken ones.

“I knew it!” Yellow said in relief as Pika rushed to tap the golden stand with his tail to revive the robot!

Ness was surprised as he rushed to greet R.O.B who was recovering from being knocked out from the attack. R.O.B looked at them in bewilderment as they held delighted and relieved expressions.

“It is so good to see you” Yellow said in delight, “Are you ok? Do you need to rest?”

R.O.B shook his head as he tried his best to relive them until they felt the facility shake violently. They looked around to see everything breaking and falling apart.

“What is that?” Yellow asked as she and Ness felt the ground to hold themselves in place.

Pika and R.O.B turned to a control panel that was not fully destroyed. R.O.B worked together to repair the panel and slowly started to repair it. Once it was finished, Pika unleashed a powerful “Thunderbolt” and restored it to power. Ness and Yellow looked up to see a screen appearing before them. They noticed new destruction appearing before them!

“Who could do that much damage?” Yellow asked with worry as the facility shook again.

Ness snapped his fingers as he turned to R.O.B to ask, “Can you find the locations of the other trophies please? It would make things quicker for us to find our friends and fighters”

There was one more trophy, but it was Wolf! They were surprised to see him here, but they knew they would need all the help they could get.

“R.O.B please find his location and guide us to him” Ness asked of his friend as Yellow stood up with Pika running on ahead.

He used “Flash” to brighten the area around themselves. They followed the robot and electric mouse to a deeper section of the broken facility as it shook again! Whatever was chasing them, it was approaching closer and closer to them! Yellow looked over her shoulder to then gasping at the sight of a machine crawling against the walls and towards them!

“It is closing in!” Yellow warned as Ness glanced over his shoulder to gasp at the site of it approaching them.

It was familiar to him as he picked up the pace to catch up to R.O.B and then looking forward to see a pair of broken, steel doors before them.

“Is Wolf behind those doors?” Ness asked as he pointed at it.

R.O.B’s eyes blinked a blue light to confirm this. Ness slowed his pace to run behind them. Charging his powers, he gathered a tremendous amount of psychic power.

“PK THUNDER!” Ness cried as he unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning to propel himself forward and push Yellow, Pika, and R.O.B forward and through the broken doors!

They let out a scream as they crashed through the doors, but the machine was still crawling after them! R.O.B recovered first to reach for the doors and forcefully close it with his might! Yellow waved her hand to command Pika to help R.O.B as Ness crashed into the wall.

“Ness! Find Wolf!” Yellow shouted as she picked herself up and looked after Pika and R.O.B.

Ness recovered and charged to find Wolf’s trophy on the side and knocked on his side. Ness was relieved as he rushed to tap the golden stand to bring Wolf back! He let out a growl as he was freed and glared at the fighters around him.

“Where am I?” Wolf demanded until they felt the facility shake again.

He rolled his head back and marched through the shaking area to see what was attacking them. He looked through the cracks of the doors to see the machine ramming itself against it and using its parts to tear the door down. Wolf scoffed as he pulled out his blaster, took aim, and fired.

“What are you doing?!” Yellow shouted in shock.

“Taking care of your problem!” Wolf snapped until they felt the floor shake violently again.

Wolf couldn’t even stand as he held onto the floor. Pika jumped to Yellow’s arms as they tried to find some footing with the shaking ground. Then, they heard a loud thud and felt something break. Ness looked at everyone until he felt something light and then let out a scream as he was falling! He looked to see the others falling as well. He faced the incoming ground and saw how far it was from them! He knew if they fell from this height and struck the ground, they would turn back into their trophies! They had to do something to soften their landing! He gathered his powers to himself and concentrated on the fighters and friends around him. He was glowing a bright, white color as he closed his eyes.

Yellow and Pika saw Ness glowing as she asked, “Ness, what are you doing?”

“I am going to catch us just before we hit the ground!” Ness shouted as everyone stared at him, “That way, we won’t be knocked out and forced into the trophies!”

“But won’t that tire you out?!” she exclaimed with concern.

“It might, but we need to stop that being and save our worlds and friends! We have to do this!” Ness shouted as he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

He was gathering his powers to him as everyone tried to fall near him. They were falling beside him as he slowly unclasped his hands to spread his powers over his friends. They were covered in a white light as they were looking at him. He let out a yell as his powers grabbed everyone as the ground was approaching them! Everyone was tense as they were preparing themselves to either transform back into the trophies or be caught. They stopped falling as they opened their eyes to see themselves just barely hovering above the ground.

“He did it” Wolf confessed with an impressed tone.

“Ness!” Yellow shouted as he was hovering with them and using his powers to keep everyone from hitting the ground.

He sighed in an exhausted manner as he then released everyone. They fell to the ground, but Yellow, Pika, and R.O.B rushed to the exhausted Ness.

“Is everyone ok?” Ness asked with a weak smile as everyone gathered around him.

“We are. Thanks to you” Yellow reassured him, “But are you going to be ok?”

He nodded his head as Wolf rolled his eyes to comment, “He can’t fight, so he needs to rest. As for us, we should keep moving. Someone carry the kid”

He turned to leave until his ears flicked. He heard something fall in the distance. R.O.B picked up Ness as Yellow let Pika run ahead. Pika stopped with his ears flickering as he searched for something.

“What’s wrong?” Yellow asked as she knew this couldn’t be good.

Pika’s cheeks sparked as he prepared for a fight. Wolf cracked his neck as he nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, I heard it too. That’s not good” Wolf answered with a shake of his head.

“What’s not good?” Yellow asked until Wolf glanced to R.O.B holding the exhausted Ness.

The ground shook, causing the nearby ruins to fall apart in the distance. Yellow picked herself as she and Pika faced the incoming Porky!

“Who is that?!” Yellow exclaimed as she held her fists up with Pika letting out more sparks.

“We can get the backstory later” Wolf growled, “We have to deal with that while the robot and kid find the others. Can your mouse fight this thing?!”

Pika nodded his head with more electricity bursting from him.

“We can fight! If you need to heal, I’ll heal you!” Yellow reassured them with a grin.

Wolf scoffed as the machine stopped before them. There was a child before them and locked in a glass container. The mechanical arms struck the ground and then at them! Wolf tackled Yellow away as Pika jumped and ran to shook Porky! The machine was in pain before charging to knock the electric mouse in the air! Wolf jumped to grab the mouse before landing in front of Yellow.

“This is going to be annoying” Wolf growled, “But I will make sure he doesn’t get away with this”

R.O.B rolled to the nearby ruins and gently placed the unconscious Ness on a clear floor. R.O.B scanned the area. He made sure it was safe and then examined Ness. He was still exhausted from using his powers to catch them. So, this just left the robot to find the other nearby fighters. He put up a few broken pieces of rubble up and around Ness for his protection before going on his own to find the other fighters. He picked up three other trophies and rushed to find them. He noticed there were three floors and decided to find the trophy on the first floor. He jumped, smacked, and destroyed the rubble before him until he found Red with Charizard, Saur, and Blasty! R.O.B placed his hand on the golden stand and awakened the Fighter!

“Woah!” Red exclaimed as he stumbled to his feet with Charizard, Saur, and Blasty at his side, “Hey, is everyone ok? I am so sorry you had to experience that. It isn’t fun, I know”

The Pokémon happily cheered and embraced the trainer as he turned to see R.O.B.

“Oh, hey! How are you? What’s going on?” Red asked as he gently pulled himself from the Pokémon to speak with R.O.B.

The robot pulled up a screen to reveal the situation occurring outside of the ruins! Red’s expression hardened when he saw Yellow and Pika fighting against Porky with Wolf. Red adjusted his gloves and stood up with the trio of Pokémon at his side.

“Got it. R.O.B, I don’t know how many others are here, but I can lend Yellow and Pika a hand” Red said seriously, “So, please hurry and find the others. I’ll do everything I can to help her, Pika, and the others”

R.O.B’s eyes flashed a blue color as Red returned Saur and Blasty back to their respective pokeballs before jumping on Charizard’s back. Charizard let out a roar as he spread his wings and flew upward to carry the Fighter to the battle.

“Crap!” Wolf roared as he knocked on the floor.

Yellow threw Pika upward to avoid an incoming strike from Porky.

However, she couldn’t get away! She gasped as she saw the attack coming for her! Pika let out a panicked cry, but he noticed something flaming and orange flying right towards her!

“Yellow!” Red shouted as he grabbed her to pull her up on Charizard’s back to then flying away from the incoming attack.

Red sighed in relief as Yellow blinked a couple of times to gather herself. She looked up to see Red holding a relieved expression.

“That was close” he confessed with a worry, “You ok, Yellow?”

She looked up at him with a light pink blush on her cheeks as she nodded her head. Red held a gentle expression to her as Wolf groaned at their relationship.

“Hey!” he barked at the couple, “Focus on the fight at hand!”

Pika growled at the bounty hunter who rolled his eyes at the electric mouse as he startled the couple. Yellow hid her blushing face as Red rubbed the back of his head before turning to the fight ahead.

“Ok, ok” Red reassured everyone, “Charizard use “Flamethrower”!”

Charizard opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful wave of fire at Porky! Porky whimpered in pain as Charizard flew upward to avoid a strike. The trainers looked over their shoulders to see the machine roaring in pain and then charging after them.

“Don’t worry” Red reassured her with a confident expression, “Help is coming soon. We just have to hold out until I beat it or if R.O.B pulls through”

She was surprised to hear this, but she had hoped and nodded in agreement. They focused on the fight and did everything they could to distract Porky.

R.O.B continued to hop up the stony, broken steps and reached another floor. He found Twilight Zelda and Zelda standing in their trophy forms. R.O.B rushed to them and slammed his metal hands on the golden stands to revive them.

“Woah!” Zelda said surprised as she gently fell to her legs.

“Oh my!” Twilight Zelda commented as she regained her footing to look at their surroundings before gazing at R.O.B, “Oh, what has happened, my friend?”

He summoned a screen to display before the two Zeldas to inform them of their situation. He also confirmed that that there was one more trophy here and Ness’ location. Both princesses pondered on their situation and what they could do.

“I’ll get Ness” Twilight Zelda stated, “I’ll heal him and then join the others at the fight. R.O.B, you can find the last trophy. You have an idea of the location of the last trophy. Zelda and I will help the others in the fight”

R.O.B’s eyes flashed blue before hopping up the last flight of stairs. Zelda turned to her other incarnation who dusted herself off.

“Well, shall we?” she asked her with a gentle expression before using her magic to teleport to the first floor.

She looked for the fort and found Ness resting. She was surprised he didn’t transform into the trophy for being exhausted and using his powers. She kneeled to his side and hovered her hands above the child to use her powers to heal him.

“You were very brave, Ness” she commented with a grin, “Reminds me of someone else who has that same bravery as yours”

Zelda teleported to outside area of the ruins and found the fight happening before her. She was surprised to see so much fire, but she was relieved they were working together.

“Zelda!” Yellow shouted in relief to see her, “Are you ok?”

“I am just fine, Yellow!” she answered with pride and waved her hands to cast fire towards Porky, “But we are almost done! Twilight Zelda is using her magic to heal Ness while R.O.B is searching for the last fighter in this area. We are almost there, so let’s do this together, everyone!”

They let out cries and yells of determination before charging at Porky with everything they had.

“Where am I?” Ness asked as he slowly opened his eyes to see Twilight Zelda with him.

“You are with me. The others are fighting Porky and searching for the last fighter” she informed him with a grateful expression, “It was thanks to you that we are here. How do you feel? Are you ready?”

Ness sat up and held his hand out to see if he could cast his powers. When a spark burst from his hands, he only grinned. He picked himself up and stretched. He could feel his energy return!

“I am good! Thank you, Princess Twilight Zelda!” Ness said with a bow.

She patted his head before rising to stand and dust herself off. She looked ahead to see a fight occurring in the distance.

“Well, let’s not keep our friends waiting” she said as she used her magic to teleport themselves before the fight.

She quickly put a barrier for protection as Ness gasped at the sight of Porky fighting his friends again. Red and Yellow had Charizard land as Red quickly swapped him for Blasty. Blasty used “Water Gun” to create a stream of water for himself to slide on and caught the attention away from Pika and Wolf. Wolf was knocked back, but he landed on his feet and growled in a frustrated manner.

“Hey! Princess! Are you ready?!” Wolf roared as Twilight Zelda glared at his behavior.

Zelda had raised her hands and gathered a tremendous amount of dark magic. She drew her hands back before casting a powerful, knight of dark armor wielding a powerful sword. The knight in darkness swung his sword upward to strike Porky! Porky’s machine was breaking apart.

“Pika! Now! Thunder!” Yellow shouted as Pika quickly ran back as he jumped on Blasty’s stomach.

They let out a happy cheer as they glide across his stream to catch up to Porky. Blasty used his tail to push Pika upward and towards Porky. Pika’s cheeks sparked before he let out a cry! A powerful bolt of lightning crashed on the exposed area causing Porky to fall apart!

“Nice!” Red said with a grin as Yellow went to catch Pika.

“Is that it?” Twilight Zelda wondered as Ness shook his head and rushed to create a barrier in front of the two trainers and Wolf.

“No! He’s not! Protect yourselves!” Ness shouted as both Zeldas created their barriers for protection.

Porky exploded, but he wass only angrier! He spun and tried to shatter their barriers! He was close to breaking it too!

“Ness, how close are we to defeating him?” Twilight Zelda asked seriously.

“Not much! We are close!” Ness shouted, “We need a few more powerful hits! That should defeat him!”

“Great! What hit could that?” Wolf growled as they heard a distance engine roaring in the distance.

They looked at the ruins and found Wario riding his bike with R.O.B sitting behind him! They were surprised to see the pair together like this, but Wolf growled.

“This is our chance!” Wolf roared, “They’ll deliver a hit and then we should follow him! Don’t slow us down!”

Wolf ran out of the barrier as Red switched Blasty for Saur. Twilight Zelda was still holding her barrier as Zelda rushed to help her friends with her magic. As they broke off, Wario drove his bike straight at Porky before jumping off with R.O.B! The bike exploded causing more damage to Porky. Wario threw R.O.B above him who had powered up his attack. He fired a powerful laser to strike the wound and deal more damage before being caught by Wario.

“Nice job, R.O.B!” Red shouted as he was running with Saur, “You were able to find us and deal massive damages to Porky!”

“Yes! Thank you, R.O.B!” Yellow said in relief, “We are together again! Thank you!”

The robot was pleased with their responses and flashed a green light from his eyes. Wolf howled to gain everyone’s attention and focus on the fight before themselves.

“Hey!” Wolf barked, “We are almost there! There should be no more distraction!”

“He’s right!” Red shouted as he switched Saur for Charizard, “We need to focus on the weak area we created! Anyone with long range has the best chance of defeating him! The rest of us need to be a distraction! Are we ready!?”

Everyone yelled in agreement before taking off and listening to the Fighter. He hopped on Charizard’s back with Yellow accompanying him. They flew above Porky as Wolf and Wario ran around him. Twilight Zelda cast her fire magic to give herself a distance. Zelda was charging up her spells again to cast more powerful ones. R.O.B rolled along the ground as he fired his lasers with Ness casting his psychic powers. Pika jumped around to cast “Thunder Bolt” while keeping his distance.

“Wario! Tackle him with me! Red! Follow us!” Wolf barked as he charged up his tackle with Wario taking a running start to his side.

He leaned with his shoulder and prepared to tackle Porky. Wolf finished charging as they ran and tackled Porky! The machine stumbled as Wolf grabbed Wario to pull him away before Porky could strike back. Red motioned Yellow to hide her head behind his back as Charizard flew and prepared to ram his head against Porky! The machine was breaking apart as Charizard fly away before Porky could grab him.

“Ness! Now!” Twilight Zelda shouted as she cast a powerful fire spell with Ness casting “PK Fire”.

Both their fire attacks combined and exploded on the surface of the wound their friends created. Porky whimpered as Pika jumped on R.O.B’s head and charged up his electricity.

“Pika! CHU!” he shouted as he burst with electricity to unleash a “Thunder” attack.

A powerful, bolt of thunder crashed down on the wound as R.O.B has charged up his laser. He blinked red lights before firing the laser. The laser expanded the wound as R.O.B pulled himself away and grabbed Pika to get away.

“Zelda! Go!” Red and Twilight Zelda shouted as Zelda stood and held her hands out.

Darkness burst from her hands to recreate her knight of darkness. She grinned as she pulled her hands back and then forward to cast the knight towards Porky. The knight was covered in darkness and swung his powerful sword to slam against the wound! The knight put more pressure on the wound and then shattered it! Porky screamed as the machine exploded before them! Zelda, Twilight Zelda, and Ness created magical barriers to protect themselves and their friends while Red and Yellow were flying above the explosion. Once it died away, they flew back to their friends to find them safe and cheering!

“Oh! We did it!” Zelda said in a cheery manner as she clapped her hands.

Pika jumped from R.O.B’s head to join Yellow’s arms. He snuggled against his two trainers as they relaxed to seeing their friends again. They were taking this moment to celebrate and relax until they felt the floor shake and seeing the ruins breaking apart.

“That’s not good” Yellow said with concern as Pika jumped on her head.

“Yes! We have one more fight ahead of us!” Ness shouted as he turned to everyone, “Are we ready?!”

They yelled in agreement. Wario summoned his bike as Ness sat in front of it. Red returned Charizard and started to walk with the rest following Ness and Wario to their Final Destination.

“I really wish we didn’t go our separate ways, but we need to find everyone soon if we are going to save the worlds, Sakurai, and our worlds! I just wish this wasn’t so scary” Luigi commented as he was running through the clouds of a kingdom in the sky, “I didn’t think a place like this exist. It is so pretty and empty. I wonder who lives here? I would love to visit a peaceful place like this”

He didn’t think walking on clouds would be so relaxing and easy. He expected to fall through the clouds, but he saw a temple in the distance. He decided to run to the temple and explore it to find any of the fighters. He was sure he would find someone in the temple. He entered the abandoned temple and notice it was dark.

“HELLO!” Luigi shouted as he listened for any kind of reply.

He was sad when he didn’t hear from anyone and took a step into the temple. He felt the ground shake until something crashed behind him. He trembled and screamed while grabbing onto his hat. He slowly turned around to see Petey Piranha!

“AAAH!” he screamed before running through the temple to get away and find anyone to help him.

Petey Piranha let out a roar before swinging the cages to break the temple and chase after the green plumber. He jumped over the rubble and then turned a corner to find himself in a treasure room. He gasped when he found Lucario standing there. Luigi ran as fast as he could to tap the golden stand to awaken Lucario and Riley!

“Ah! That is rather unpleasant” Riley said as he fell to his knees and looked to see Luigi before him, “Oh, hello? Are you ok? What is happening?”

Lucario’s ears remained alert as he glowed a blue light. He remained on guard as Riley sensed a threat. He picked himself up as Luigi was standing next to them with a trembling figure. Petey Piranha swung the cages to break the hallway and causing the floor to give way! Lucario quickly caught Riley as Luigi was falling! They landed on the lowest floors of the temple. Lucario quickly landed on his feet before jumping to catch Luigi and place him on the floor.

“That was close” Riley said before catching his breath and turning to Luigi, “What is happening?”

Luigi quickly explained the situation as Lucario flashed a blue light.

“Alright, so we need to find the others. Don’t worry, Lucario is on it” Riley reassured Luigi, “But we should keep our distance. We can’t let the plant catch and put us in those cages. We are close to finding the true enemy behind this”

The green plumber only nodded his head as they ran through an empty hallway to find the temple vacant. Lucario was walking on ahead with a blue light glowing as Riley remained quiet. Lucario turned to a wall and remained quiet. He growled as he glanced to Riley.

“Very well. Lucario! Use Bullet Punch!” Riley ordered as Luigi was surprised.

Lucario’s fists glowed a silver light before he rapidly punched the wall! Luigi screamed as he ducked his head and stood behind Riley. He lowered his hat and held his right arm in front of him for protection. He glanced to Luigi with a grin as the wall finally fell apart in front of them.

“Ah, it is over, Luigi” Riley reassured him as he lifted his hat to see Toon Link’s trophy surrounded by treasure, “And we found another friend”

Luigi gasped as Lucario went to tap the golden stand and revive Toon Link! Toon Link jumped and let out a scream before falling to his butt. He looked around and noticed the trio in front of him.

“Welcome back. How are you feeling?” Riley asked gently as Lucario turned away and to search for the other fighters.

Toon Link only grinned before dusting himself off and listening to their explanation. He was surprised to hear this and prepared himself for a long fight. They felt the ground shake as all remained quiet.

“We must leave this area” Riley urged as Toon Link ran forward with Lucario close behind.

Riley and Luigi were following them as they as quickly as they could. Riley looked over his shoulder to examine the Petey Piranha. Riley couldn’t understand the plant’s anger. They need another approach and fast. They cannot keep running at this rate. There isn’t another floor below them either. They need another approach.

“Toon Link! Do you have anything that can cause Petey Piranha to slow down?!” Riley shouted as he noticed Lucario was glowing again, “We found another fighter?!”

Lucario jumped and swung his glowing tail to strike down another wall on the side to reveal another trophy hidden behind a ruined wall. Lucario lunged to tap the golden stand that belong to Twilight Link. Lucario picked up the Hero of Twilight who was gathering himself.

“Twilight Link!” Riley shouted, “Can you and Lucario combine your powers and deliver a blow strong enough to stop and stun Petey Piranha?!”

Riley glanced over his shoulder to see the plant swinging his cages and trying to destroy the ruins in his path. Twilight Link landed beside Lucario as both prepared to fight the incoming plant.

“Toon Link! Luigi! Find the others!” Riley ordered as he turned around to face the incoming plant with his eyes closed.

He searched throughout the ruins to see the remaining fighters and their locations. He was noticed two fighters were outside, so he decided to save them for last. However, there are two more in the ruins. There are two more fighters present. One to the right and the other to the left.

“One of you go to the left and the other goes to the right” Riley informed them, “Come back here. From here, we have to leave! Hurry!”

Luigi and Toon Link nodded as they rushed to the center before Luigi turned to the left while Toon Link went to the right. Luigi tripped, but he kept running until he reached the end to find a pile of gold surrounding Princess Peach! He sighed in relief to see a familiar friend, but he shook his head and rushed to tap the golden stand. The princess was freed and gently fell to her knees among the gold.

Luigi rushed up to her with concern as she replied, “Please do not worry over me. I am grateful that you came to save me. Oh, but where is Mario? What has happened, Luigi?”

The green plumber explained everything that had happened and what he and the other fighters were planning to do. The princess understood as she took his hand. He helped her stand up and felt the ruins shake. Luigi turned his attention to the fight as Peach nodded her head.

“We shall not keep them waiting” Peach said with a nod of her head, “Come Luigi! Our friends need our help! Let’s go!”

She took his hands and ran back to the fight with Luigi catching up to her. Toon Link ran as fast as he could before noticing the trophy in the distance. He jumped as high as he could to reach the platform and found the Ice Climbers! He happily tapped it to awaken them. Nana and Popo exclaimed and high fived each other before turning to the Hero of the Winds. He gestured to the fight happening in the distance. The siblings understood before rushing towards the fight with the Hero of the Winds following them.

“Aura sphere!” Riley ordered as he mimicked Lucario’s movements to give him some strength.

Twilight Link tucked and rolled away from an incoming cage before drawing a bow and pulling back an arrow. He fired to pierce a side from the Petey Piranha who screamed in pain. Twilight Link smirked as Lucario rushed with a charged up, blue sphere before throwing it at the plant!

“Get back!” Twilight Link advised as he turned to take cover.

Lucario jumped back before landing in front of his trainer to create a protective sphere in front of himself. Petey Piranha screamed and thrashed the cages around as if he were a crying toddler! He shook the ruins, causing debris to fall from ever part and crash near them.

“We need better protection” Riley reasoned.

“No, we need to get out of the ruins. Where are they?” Twilight Link wondered as he drew his Hylian shield and Master Sword.

As if on cue, Toon Link ran in first with his Master Sword in hand and screaming. He jumped above them with the blade held high and above his head before summersaulting forward to deliver a powerful blow to the head of the Petey Piranha! He cheered before yelling as he realized he was falling. Lucario rushed to grab Toon Link and used “Extreme Speed” to return to the other fighters.

“Oh, is the fight over?” Peach asked as she arrived with Luigi.

“No. We only need enough time to get outside and find the last two trophies. Everyone out!” Riley ordered as they escaped from the crumbling ruins to find themselves outside and standing on a bunch of clouds!

They were surprised to find themselves standing on top of the clouds as Lucario glowed a blue light. He sensed the last two trophies were near them and turned to Toon Link. The Hero of the Winds was surprised to the see the Aura Pokémon staring at him, but Lucario only pointed his paw to the distance.

“Lucario is saying there is a trophy at the other end of the clouds” Riley explained, “He’ll search in the opposite direction for the other one. After that, all of us should be here”

Everyone was relieved as Peach expressed warmly, “Oh, how wonderful! We are together again!”

Before they could enjoy this, the ruins collapsed, but Petey Piranha jumped out with an angry expression. He roared as everyone stood on guard.

“This is the last one” Riley said seriously as he nodded to Lucario and Toon Link.

“Do not hold anything back! We will defeat this foe, find our friends, and return home together!” Twilight Link vowed as everyone yelled in agreement.

He charged forward and drew the Master Sword close to himself. Luigi rushed to cover him with Princess Peach walking from behind. She held her parasol with Ice Climbers rushing to help. Twilight Link clashed his Master Sword against the incoming cage the Petey Piranha swung at him. He stood his ground as Luigi took his chance and ran up to punch the plant’s face! The plant stumbled back as Twilight Link took this chance to swing the Master Sword upward to cut the leaf’s arm off! The cage dropped with a thud as the Ice Climbers rushed to the other cage.

“Give them cover!” Twilight Link shouted as he rushed catch Luigi.

Petey Piranha struggled to pick himself up and try to throw his cage to trap any of the fighters. Unbeknownst to the plant, Peach was walking behind it. She holds her parasol and golf club as she grinned.

“Going down” Peach said in delight as she held her parasol’s tip and used the holder to grab one of the tiny legs of the plant to pull it with all her might.

She grinned as she caused Petey Piranha to fall forward. Nana and Popo rushed to wave their hands to create ice and freeze the other arm of the plant! Both jumped together to raise their hammers above their heads before slamming it on the frozen leaf! The cage fell with another thud as the plant let out another roar!

Toon Link ran running through the clouds and found a trophy in the distance. He grinned when he saw the Hero of the Wild’s trophy! He happily jumped and slammed his hands on the stand to free the Hero of the Wild! He was surprised to find himself in a sea of clouds. Toon Link grabbed his hands and pointed to the fight happening in the distance. Link understood as he took Toon Link’s hand and ran forward. He threw his shield forward and jumps on it with Toon Link sitting behind him! Toon Link screamed in delight as Link grinned and placed his hand on the handle of his Master Sword. Both heroes were prepared to strike the plant together.

Lucario ran as quickly as he could to the other end and found Pit’s trophy before him. He used “Quick Attack” and reached it before placing his hand on golden stand to awaken Pit!

“Oh, wow! Where am I?!” Pit exclaimed in disbelief before falling face forward.

He picked himself up and looked around to see himself and the others are in Skylands! Or at least a corrupted version of it. He was surprised to see it in this state until his attention fell to a fight!

“They need our help!” Pit stated as he looked at Lucario who nodded his head in agreement and grabbed Pit’s hand.

Lucario used “Extreme Speed” to quickly return to the fighters with a screaming Pit behind him! Although the rest of the fighters delt massive damages to Petey Piranha and cut off the plant’s connections to the cages, Petey Piranha wasn’t finished and let out another roar! He was furious and would not surrender to the fighters so easily!

“Tch, this isn’t going to end well” Twilight Link grumbled as he tried to think of another plan to stop the plant.

He heard screaming and looked over his shoulder to see both pairs of fighters coming towards them! He drew his Master Sword as he noticed Link was holding his.

“Ok, we need to pin the plant down!” Twilight Link shouted as he gazed at Link and Toon Link.

“Lucario! Bullet Punch!” Riley shouted as he sensed his partner Pokémon approaching them.

Lucario threw Pit above him as he charged up his fits. Pit was screaming before using his wings to hover in the air. He looked at the plant and drew his bow as he prepared to dive and attack until he noticed Lucario rapidly punched the plant! Pit noticed Lucario was distracting Petey Piranha and understood what he needed to do! At least, he hoped he understood. He drew two arrows back and fired it to strike the plant’s sides to stick him to the ground when Lucario jumped away to avoid the strikes.

“I don’t know how long I can hold him!” Pit shouted and continued to fire arrows as Luigi ran behind the plant.

“Lucario! Strike together with Luigi!” Riley ordered as Twilight Link charged up his strike with the Ice Climbers running towards the feet.

Luigi drew his fist back with fire burning from it. Lucario drew his blue, flaming fist as well. Both threw a punch to strike the chest and head of the plant! Both landed on the clouds as Petey Piranha tried to lunge at them only to find his feet frozen in place! He gazed to find the Ice Climbers using their powers to cover his feet in ice!

“Almost there” Twilight Link whispered as Peach decided to stand before the plant to distract it by casting turnips at the plant.

She threw the turnips before drawing her tennis back to strike it. The turnips struck the plant as he took damage.

“Princess Peach! Move!” Twilight Link shouted as he lunged to the chest of Petey Piranha with the Master Sword glowing in his hand.

He swung the blade in a horizontal manner to deliver a powerful strike. Link and Toon Link jumped from the shield and raised their Master Swords! Toon Link swung the blade to the right of the plant as Link struck the left side. Both Heroes of Time landed on the clouds as Petey Piranha fell forward. Everyone took steps back and protected themselves as the plant finally vanished in darkness.

“Finally,” Riley commented in relief as the Ice Climbers shared a high five with Toon Link jumping up and down in joy.

Twilight Link looked at the Pokémon trainer and green plumber to ask, “So, do you know where we need to go from here?”

Luigi nodded his head and motioned them to follow him. The group departed together as they rushed to fight in the Final Destination.

“Well, I hope the other two are faring better” King Dedede wondered as he marched forward with the intention of finding the other fighters.

He found himself in a fortress and recognized Meta Knight’s ship in the distance. Bowser grumbled behind the king and noticed how old the fortress was. Everything was broken, destroyed, and in pieces. In other circumstances, Bowser would’ve loved to see the destruction. However, with the state of the worlds, he would not. He grumbled along the way as King Dedede kept his eyes out for any trophies.

“Do you see anything?” King Dedede asked as he gripped his hammer and marched forward.

“No” Bowser grumbled as King Dedede glared at the other king.

“Are you sure?” King Dedede asked seriously.

Bowser growled as fire was slowly burning from his mouth, but they heard something clash against the steel walls of the fortress. Both turned their attention to the noise and found themselves facing Galleom! He rammed his entire body through the doors and threw a punch towards them.

“Are you ready?” King Dedede asked seriously as he gripped his hammer and spun it behind him.

“Of course, I am! Are you?!” Bowser asked as he drew his fist back.

As Galleom approached the pair and threw his fist, but Bowser threw his fist as King Dedede swung his hammer to strike the incoming punch! They let out a yell as they took a big step and held their ground to push Galloem back! Galleom was surprised as he was pushed back and stumbled!

“Get out of our way!” Bowser roared as he threw his other fist to knock Galleom back!

Galleom stumbled and fell through the damages he caused! His arm fell over a few locked areas and crashed to reveal Marth’s and Ike’s trophies!

“I’ll get the Heroes of the Emblem” King Dedede announced as he ran as fast as he could to reach the duo.

“Good! I’ll smash him!” Bowser roared as he rushed to drop kick Galleom with King Dedede shaking his head in disappointment.

King Dedede was pleased that Bowser was at least keeping Galleom distracted, but he was also wondered how long the Koopa King could hold out for. Instead of focusing on that, King Dedede tapped the golden stands of Marth and Ike to revive them. Both heroes were surprised to be standing again as they checked themselves and their respective legendary swords.

“Well, that was something” Ike commented annoyed and examined Ragnell thoroughly.

“I agree, but I believe this isn’t over yet” Marth commented before turning his attention to the fight, “I believe we have another battle before us. Are you prepared, Ike?”

Ike cracked his knuckles and waved the blade in his hands before commenting, “I can handle this. Let’s do this together”

He ran on ahead, but Marth stayed with King Dedede.

“I do not mean to be rude, but I believe it would be best if I find the rest of the trophies here” Marth suggested, “I know we have another threat to fight, but we do not have time to waste. So, please, let me find them”

King Dedede only grinned as he replied, “Yes! That’s a good idea! Also, someone needs to keep an eye on Bowser. I am sure Ike can handle himself. Thank you, King Marth!”

“Please, Marth is just fine. Good luck and please watch out for each other” Marth said before pivoting on his heel and running to find anyone else here in the ruined, metallic fortress.

Bowser was stuck blocking the incoming punches from Galleom. He couldn’t find another opening, but Ike jumped and threw Ragnell above him. Ragnell spun in the air as Ike grabbed the blade.

“Great Aether!” Ike yelled as he spun himself and the blade forward to strike the back of Galleom!

He roared in pain as he withdrew his attack on Bowser. Bowser smirked, jumped, and rammed his spiky shell into Galleom’s chest! Galleom fell as Ike was relieved with Bowser roaring with pride.

“Don’t celebrate just yet” Ike cautioned as he held Ragnell in front of himself, “He’s not finished yet!”

Galleom picked himself and roared as he stomped his feet with a red-light bursting from him. He fell on his stomach and fired missiles at the pair! Ike ran to take cover as Bowser tucked himself in his shell to protect himself. King Dedede charged forward with his hammer behind him. He took one swing to knock one missile back to Galleom.

“Are you both ok?” King Dedede asked seriously.

“We’re fine/I don’t need your help!” Ike and Bowser answered as they prepared themselves for another round.

Marth jumped and ran throughout the fortress until he found a cargo hold where it stores goods and treasures and sometimes prisoners. He found Snake among them and quickly tapped the golden stand to have Snake appear before him.

“Ugh, that was rather unpleasant” he commented as he recovered and looked at the king, “So, what’s the situation at the moment, king?”

Marth decided to let go of the explanation of his title and informed him of everything currently happening. Snake wasn’t surprised to hear this, but he wasn’t about to sit back and do nothing.

“I’ll give the aid. How many more do you have to find?” Snake asked seriously.

“I am unsure. King Dedede isn’t sure how many fighters are present or near the area” Marth replied unsure, “I have no idea how many are here either”

Snake would’ve preferred to fight, but he knew he would be the best to handle the search. He pulled out a device and detected two more trophies near them. He looked around and noticed a phantom of Meta Knight’s ship in the distance.

“I can find them” Snake declared, “Help the others”

Marth only nodded his head in agreement before pivoting to return to the fight. Snake ran to the phantom of the ship and used his gear to climb it. He entered the ship and held his tracking device to run to the bottom of the ship first. He detected a trophy in the generator room and discovered Game and Watch.

“Ah, should’ve known you would be here” he commented before placing his hand on the golden stand.

Mr. Game and Watch appeared tilted back and forth to check his surroundings. He was caught off guard at the new location, but Snake waved his hand in front of the 2D being to gain his attention.

“Hey, I know this is confusing, but there is a reason for this” Snake said as the 2D fighter calmed down, “Now, come with me. We’ve got one more fighter to find before we can join the fight”

Mr. Game and Watch agreed and followed Snake to the control center of the ship to find the last fighter near them. Just as Snake suspected, it was Meta Knight. He closed his tracking device and went to tap the golden stand to revive the pilot.

“What happened?! Who goes there?!” Meta Knight declared before pointing his blade at Snake and Mr. Game and Watch, “Ah, I apologize. What has happened?”

“A lot, but I won’t give you the full explanation just yet. We have a foe to defeat” Snake said as he gestured to the fight in the distance.

Meta Knight only nodded his head in understanding before he had an idea. He went to the wheel of the ship and took the handles to turn it. He grinned when they felt the ship move.

“Do you have an idea?” Snake asked seriously.

“An idea that should bring us a victory!” Meta Knight answered firmly before turning the phantom ship to Galleom.

He piloted the ship as Snake and Mr. Game and Watch were holding onto the phantom ship with Snake holding a concerned expression. What was the plan?

“Aether!” Ike yelled as he and King Dedede jumped and raised their respective weapons to then striking Galleom on the back!

Bowser unleashed a powerful wave of fire to melt the armor, but Galleom launched a missile to strike the Koopa King! Bowser was knocked back as Marth rushed forward to strike Galleom with an upward strike from Falchion. Marth landed before the Koopa King to then pivot to grab and pull him away from Galleom.

“Hey! I had that!” Bowser roared in a frustrated manner.

“Yes, but not for long” Marth replied seriously as they took cover to avoid getting tackled by Galleom, “Where are they? I thought they were close by”

Bowser ripped himself from Marth to charge after Galleom with King Dedede rushing after him. Ike stopped himself as he noticed Marth didn’t move.

“I am sure they’ll be here” Ike reassured the Hero King until they heard a loud roar of an engine!

They were surprised as they turned to see the phantom ship flying straight towards them! The Heroes of the Emblem turned around to quickly jump and tackle Bowser and King Dedede away from the incoming ship! They landed among the rubble with Bowser growling before Ike gesturing to the ship.

“What are they doing?!” Marth exclaimed as Bowser laughed, enjoying this plan.

Snake finished placing grenades as he checked over his shoulder to see Mr. Game and Watch and Meta Knight ready to depart from the ship. Once they directed the ship, all three jumped off! Snake held the switch to blow up the phantom ship, but he opened his jacket to drop a few more on Galleom.

“Take cover!” Ike exclaimed as he and the rest of the fighters below rushed to hide underneath the rubble.

The grenades crashed and exploded around Galleom as Snake landed and rolled to stand near Bowser and Marth.

“Is this part of the plan?” Marth asked a little concerned in his voice.

“Yes. Unleash your attacks and make sure he doesn’t leave that area” Snake answered before Bowser let out a cheerful roar and charged into the fight.

Marth waved to Ike to attack again as he was surprised to hear this. He helped King Dedede stand up before they charged to fight Galleom. King Dedede ran as fast as he could to cover the floor underneath Galleom in ice. Marth was able to glide on the ice and swing Falchion rapidly with each graceful strike to deal damage around Galleom’s feet. Galleom tried to stomp the Hero King who leaned away and slid to an area of rubble. He used Falchion to strike the ground and prevent himself from losing his balance.

“Ike! Blind him!” King Dedede shouted as Ike raised Ragnell above the ice and let the blue fires burn from the blade.

Meta Knight took his chance as he was descending to the robot. He swung his blade to deliver strike after strike in the air. Bowser charged up his fist. Meta Knight flew and swung his blade against the metal arms Galleom used to protect himself from the onslaught of strikes until he waved his hands outward to knock Meta Knight out of the sky! He crashed to the rubble as Ike finished gathering fire and slammed the blade into the ice to create a strong cloud of mist! Galleom couldn’t see the fighters and didn’t know where they would strike! Mr. Game and Watch landed on the ground to then rushing to feet of Galleom with Bowser and King Dedede respectively charging up their attacks. Ike was as well, but he waited for the right moment. Since Galleom couldn’t see Mr. Game and Watch, he was able to put his flag and wave a 9! A tremendous energy burst from his attack! This caused Galleom to stumble, but not fall completely!

“Take this, you hunk of metal!” Bowser roared as he threw a punch to strike Galleom’s chest.

“Time to go down!” King Dedede declared as he swung his hammer to strike Galleom’s knees to have him fall!

Galleom crumbled to the floor as Ike jumped up and held Ragnell above his head. He let out another cry before summersaulting forward to slam Ragnell on Galleom’s back to keep him on the ground. Galleom was groaning in pain as he felt his strength die away. Snake smirked before holding the remote and standing up.

“Everyone! Get away!” Snake shouted as he pressed the button to explode the phantom ship above Galleom!

They took cover as the debris fell and struck Galleom! Galleom tried to fight back, but he was either too weak or damaged to protect himself. He reached out as another piece of debris struck his chest. He growled as he felt himself becoming weaker and weaker.

“This will not be my end” he vowed strongly, “I will return and destroy you! I will fight you again! I will reign supreme over you!”

As the last of the debris fell, Galleom was broken and melted into the darkness. The fighters slowly gathered around him and made sure he was defeated before turning to each other.

“What is the situation now, King Dedede?” Marth asked as he focused on his friend.

“Everyone is making their way to the Final Destination” King Dedede informed them, “From there, we will find and fight the master mind behind this attack and have him restore our worlds and this event to normal”

Marth only nodded his head in an understanding manner as they departed from the ruined fortress and found themselves in the same spacy plain where they were first defeated. However, they were delighted to find themselves facing their friends!

“Green!” Yellow cheered in relief before she rushed to hug her and waved at Samus, “I am so grateful you’re ok!”

“Ness!/Lucas!” the Earthbound boys exclaimed as they were finally reunited after so long.

Twilight Link rushed up to Twilight Zelda with Link checking on Zelda. Both princesses reassured the Heroes of Time that they were fine until Toon Link let out a terrified scream.

“What is it?” Ike asked as he marched up to the cartoon hero.

He simply pointed at the trophies of both Ganondorfs that were on the floor! Twilight Link and Twilight Zelda were surprised to see their Ganondorf present, but Link was hesitate to even approach them.

“We will need all the help we can get, I suppose” Zelda commented as the others looked at her in a surprised manner.

“As if!” Bowser roared in a frustrated manner before he rushed to kick Twilight Ganondorf’s trophy!

They were alarmed to see the Koopa King reacting like this, bur Wolf scoffed in agreement, “They betrayed us. Give us a good reason to why we should even bother with them when we are better off without them”

Link couldn’t disagree with that statement, but Twilight Zelda answered, “Regardless of how we feel about them, we need all the help we can get. There is strength in numbers. This is also the same being who has plunged Hyrule into chaos. This doesn’t make anyone from our world happy, but he has tremendous strength. It would be a shame if we couldn’t use it for our benefit”

Twilight Link added with a grin, “And if they step out of line, I am sure we could stop them with ease. There are three of us and two of him”

Twilight Zelda shook her head at him until they shared a nod. Twilight Link pressed the golden stand to revive Twilight Ganondorf.

“Where am I?” he grumbled as he awoke and found himself facing the two Hyrulian he despised the most, “What do you want?”

“Your help” Twilight Zelda spoke in her elegant and refined manner, “You know the enemy we are about to face is powerful. It would be beneficial to both sides if we corporate and face him together”

Twilight Ganondorf picked himself and glared at the two Hylians as Twight Link stood between him and the princess of his era. Although Twilight Ganondorf didn’t want to agree with the princess, he knew she was correct. This enemy of there is power, and they need to work together.

“Where is our enemy?” he asked simply and crossed his arms over his chest.

Twilight Link simply pointed ahead as Twilight Ganondorf nodded his head before turning to Ganondorf. Twilight Ganondorf revived and helped him stand up before he could question otherwise. Ganondorf realized that they were with their enemies and coworkers.

“What are we doing?” he asked seriously and turned away from them.

“Facing Tabuu again” Twilight Ganondorf answered simply as Twilight Link and Twilight Zelda were relieved that they would be working with them.

With that, everyone prepared themselves and checked out for each other until Luigi shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked around again.

“No! We are missing my brother!” Luigi shouted as everyone turned to the green plumber who was in panic.

Sonic glanced to him as he realized that Mario wasn’t with them. Where was Mr. Jump man himself?

Chapter Text

“Where is he?” Pit asked concerned as he looked around too.

Before anyone could suggest anything, they heard a distance roar. Samus recognized the roar as Yellow covered her ears and stared at the direction of it.

“Is that who I think it is?” Yellow asked as Pika rushed in front of her with sparks bursting from his cheeks.

As if on cue, Ridley had returned and roared! Samus took aim as everyone watched the Space Pirate land before the to unleash another loud, powerful roar!

“How did he find us?!” Captain Falcon asked with a glare as the villains groaned and stepped up.

“Doesn’t matter, he’s going down” Wolf remarked as Fox and Falco glared at him, “We have enough to worry about. Leave this pirate to us”

He, Twilight Gaondorf, Ganondorf, Bowser, and Wario faced the Space Pirate.

“He is correct. We must defeat him and find the plumber before we fight Tabuu” Twilight Ganondorf declared, “If not, then we will not win”

Link was surprised to see them working together and willing to help the find the last fighter. He noticed the rest of the fighters were debating on whether or not they should leave the villains behind to fight Ridley.

“I’ll watch them” Samus answered, “Ridley is my responsibility”

Captain Falcon, Fox, Falco, Snake, Mr. Game and Watch, Meta Knight, and King Dedede were standing with her as she glanced to them.

“And we won’t let you deal with them alone. We can help you” Captain Falcon reassured her with Meta Knight nodding his head.

The villains didn’t really care, but the heroes were relived and agreed. They faced the staircase and climbed it to reach the other side. They found more distortions and ruined places floating around. Everyone was surprised at the situation before them.

Luigi rushed in front of them, cupped his hands around his mouth, and shouted, “MARIO!”

There was no response as Peach placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. They were still surprised they haven’t found him until Red realized something.

“I believe Mario is in his trophy form” Red suggested, “We were knocked out in one hit It wouldn’t surprise me if the same thing happened to him”

“But then that makes things harder for us since we do not have any location in mind” Ike pointed out, “Unless someone has an idea of where he could be?”

No one knew where to look, but they couldn’t give up. Sonic shrugged and gestured to himself.

“Let us search for him” he suggested with Yoshi at his side, “We are the fastest beings here. It would be best to leave it to us”

Luigi wasn’t sure but Yoshi said, “Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi! (He’s right! We can do this!)”

Yoshi gave Luigi a grin as Luigi nodded his head to Sonic.

“I’ll make sure he comes back. That’s a promise from me to you!” Sonic said with a grin as he stretched, “Snake and I are the only ones who were not from here, but we are going to do everything we can to help you! So, leave everything to us!”

Luigi nodded as Sonic turned to Yoshi. Sonic gestured to one side as Yoshi ran to it. Sonic took the other side and quickly searched for the final fighter. As for the rest of them, they were prepared to turn around and help the others fight Ridley, but the ground shook.

“What is that?” Marth asked as he and the others tried to find their balance until it suddenly stopped shaking, “Why did it stop?”

Before anyone could do anything, they heard something roaring in the distance and approaching them! It was a boss made of metal that ran at them!

“Get out of the way!” Riley shouted as everyone got away and found themselves facing a metal boss!

“What is that thing?” Twilight Link asked as he covered Twilight Zelda.

Kirby exclaimed, “Puyo! (Duon!)”

Everyone picked themselves up and charged at the boss before them. They couldn’t let it get outside nor help Ridley. They still need to find Mario and Sakurai and stop Tabuu!

“Everyone! Let’s do this together!” Pit shouted as he faced Duon.

The others yelled in agreement before unleashing their attacks on the boss.

“So, is someone hurt that they didn’t join our team up?!” Wolf taunted as he was running to avoid Ridley’s attack.

He let out a laugh as he noticed how angry the Space Pirate was, but that let Samus, Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon were firing their guns and blasters with Captain Falcon taking a running start. He drew his fist back as fire gathered around it. He let out a yell and jumped when Ridley was distracted.

“Falcon Punch!” Captain Falcon roared as he punched Ridley’s back!

The Space Pirate let out a pained roar before swinging his tail to strike Captain Falcon back! Snake caught him before he hit the ground with a thud as Meta Knight and Mr. Game and Watch were running around the other end to rapidly strike him!

“Stand still!” Ridley roared as he swung his tail and fire spheres of fiery orbs at them!

Bowser quickly countered with his fiery spheres of his own. Bowser was losing against Ridley and wouldn’t be able to last for long. Meta Knight quickly flew around with his golden blade and swung it. He delivered quick strike after strike against the Space Pirate! He flew behind the pirate and then spun as he flew. The blade flew with him before he delivered a powerful strike! Ridley roared in pain from the attack and used his wings to strike the knight to the ground!

“Hey! You two caused a lot of problems for me!” Wolf snarled as he ran between Fox and Falco, “So, follow my lead and deliver a beating!”

He ran first with Fox following him with Falco at his side. Wolf swung a kick, Fox threw a kick, and Falco swiped his wing. All three attacks struck Ridley’s chest to deliver him and a beating! Ridley drew his swings close and flapped it violently to knock all three back! Each struck the ground with a thud and groan as he recovered and flew after them!

“Here he comes!” Wolf shouted as Twilight Ganondorf and Ganondorf stood before them with a strong expression.

“You are weak” Ganondorf commented with a shake of his head, “None of you could ever withstand such attack”

Both drew dark great swords before taking a stance and blocked Ridley’s strong attack! Ridley roared, but neither Demon King flinched at the sight of him! They were able to bring the Space Pirate to a standstill! Bowser, Wario, and King Dedede jumped and raised their fists and hammer above him! Bowser and Wario drew their fists and punched the back of Ridley’s! He roared in pain as he felt their strike and crashed into the rubble! King Dedede raised his hammer and flew forward to slam the hammer on his back to pin him to the ground!

“He’s almost finished!” Samus shouted as she charged her cannon.

Snake and Mr. Game and Watch rushed at his sides. Snake threw his grenades before running behind the Space Pirate. Mr. Game and Watch got close as Ridley didn’t focus on him. Mr. Game and Watch waved his flag to strike another 9 to deal massive damage! Ridley was weakened before them as Samus and Snake took their stance and fired their cannons and bazooka to deliver a final, piercing blow against the Space Pirate!

“No! No!” Ridley roared as he glared at Samus who stood before with Snake, Captain Falcon, and King Dedede were standing behind her, “This will not be the last you see of me, Samus! I shall return and defeat you! You will not stop me!”

He roared in pain before disappearing before her and the rest of the fighters. Samus shook her head before facing everyone. The heroic fighters were relived and sharing delightful expressions while being healed. However, the villains were a little sadden that Ridley was defeated. They wondered if they could do something to aid their fellow villain, but they felt the ground shake.

“That’s not Ridley” Falco assumed as the Space Pirate disappeared in a cloud of darkness.

“No. Something else must’ve happened to the others on the other side of the gateway” King Dedede reasoned as he checked on everyone, “Are we ready? We need to depart! We need to bring this brawl to an end!”

Everyone agreed as they were prepared and rushed to the portal. They crossed over to meet with their fellow friends and fighters!

“Man, where did he go?” Sonic wondered as he was running around and searching for the plumber.

He was grateful to be invited to such a fun tournament, and he loved the adventure he was going on. However, he didn’t find this too much fun. He wanted to find Mario and reassure Luigi as well as helping that person who sent him the invitation.

“Where are you?” he wondered aloud as he looked around.  

So far, he had no luck and hoped Yoshi had better luck than he did. Sonic decided to turn around and run the other direction to help Yoshi since he had no luck finding Mario on his head. Yoshi was jumping from platform to platform as he searched for Mario.

“Yoshi, yoshi… (Where are you, Mario?)” Yoshi wondered with concern before jumping to another platform to try and find Mario.

He noticed a few other platforms in the distance and sighed until he heard fighting. He looked back to see his friends fighting against another boss!

“Yoshi, yoshi! (Where did that come from?!)” he exclaimed as he pondered on the idea of turning back to aid them.

He was stuck. He wanted to help his friends, but he didn’t want to give up on finding Mario either. He wasn’t sure if Sonic had any luck finding him either. Yoshi shook his head and jumped to another platform. He has to move forward. If they are going to return to their world and homes, then they need everyone!

“YOSHI! (MARIO!)” he shouted as he continued his search for him.

He jumped and kicked the platforms back to help the fighters. He hoped they could use the incoming platforms before he continued to search for him.

“Seriously, why does this thing have missiles?!” Olimar cried out as he rushed to take cover from him with his Pikmin following him.

Red was flying above Duon with Yellow and Pit riding on Charizard. They were above him as Red tried to find a way to defeat him, but he wasn’t sure how. Pit jumped and let out a yell as he flew after Duon. He aimed his bow and fired arrows with Ness and Lucas casting PK Fire at him.

“Does this boss even have a weakness?” Red wondered aloud as Donkey Kong and Lucario rushed to fight Duon from behind.

Duon quickly swung his tail to strike the duo before they could reach him. Ike took a running start, jumped, and swung Ragnell to strike Duon after attacking his friends. Duon raised his arms to protect himself, but Ike was able to put a dent in him. Duon pushed Ike away before elbowing him away! Ike crashed on the ground as Marth rushed to help the Radiant Hero.

“Are you ok?” Marth asked as Ike picked himself up and shook his head.

“I’ll be fine. However, I don’t have a clue how to fight him. Without Soren, I am a little clueless” Ike confessed in a frustrated manner.

Red flew Charizard above them to ask, “That is a machine, right?”

“Yes” Marth confirmed.

“So, maybe physical attacks aren’t effective” Red reasoned as he glanced to Twilight Zelda and Zelda, “But maybe special attacks and magic would be better”

“That’s what I pondering as well” Twilight Zelda replied, “But if we could deal more effective attacks, we will need an opening. For that to work, we need to create a wound. Also, since those of us can use magic and special attacks, we need some form of protection to cover us. Our powers do take time to power up”

Riley suggested, “Then, why don’t we focus on long range attacks and defensive tactics?”

Twilight Link drew his bow and nodded his head in agreement with Toon Link rushing with his bow in hand. Link rushed after his previous incarnation with Donkey Kong turning to Diddy Kong. Lucario picked himself up to run behind Duon. The rest of them paired together and took off in different directions to cast their magic and special attacks from a safe distance. Pika jumped on Charizard and motioned Red to fly right above Duon.

“Are you sure about this?” Red asked surprised and interested.

Pika only nodded his head as he stood tall on Charizard’s head. Red only smirked as Yellow wrapped her arms around Red with Charizard flying upward.

“Lucario! Extreme Speed! Close Combat!” Riley shouted as Lucario and Donkey Kong ran forward.

Lucario quickly ran forward and rapidly punched Duon to slowly break the armor off before he knocked the Aura Pokémon away! Riley ran back to help his Pokémon as Donkey Kong jumped, drew his fist back, and punched the breaking wound. He grinned when he created a crack before Duon knocked the gorilla away.

“PK! Fire!” Ness and Lucas shouted as both boys jumped and cast a powerful burst of fire to the wound to break it!

“Twilight Zelda!” Twilight Link shouted as he rushed in front of her to protect her.

She charged her spell before casting a sphere of fire to break off the armor and create a larger wound.

“Ok! Pika! Thunder!” Red and Yellow shouted as Pika jumped off Charizard’s head with his cheeks sparking.

“Pika, CHU!” Pika yelled as he burst with electricity and made “Thunder” crash and strike the wound.

Everyone backed away or created shields and barriers to protect themselves from the attack. The powerful
“Thunder” struck the wound and created a bigger one for them to strike.

“That’s big enough!” Twilight Zelda and Zelda shouted, “Everyone! Give it everything you’ve got!”

Everyone let out a delighted yell before charging at Duon to fight everything they had.

“Yo! Yoshi!” Sonic shouted as he effortlessly caught up to the dinosaur, “Did you have any luck?”

Sonic jumped up to the platform and landed behind him. Yoshi sadly shook his head as Sonic grumbled before holding a positive expression.

“Don’t worry. I am sure we will find him” Sonic promised with a grin, “But we can’t keep running around in circles like this. We need another plan”

Sonic glanced around before running with Yoshi to search for another area for their red, plumber. So far, they couldn’t find him in the rubble, but they were jumping from platform to platform and reached the top of another one to find themselves facing Mario’s trophy!

“MARIO/YOSHI!” Sonic and Yoshi shouted in relief as they rushed to the trophy and tapped the golden stand.

Mario was confused as both went to catch and hold him in place. They helped him sit down as he looked up at them. He was surprised to see Sonic here and delighted to see Yoshi. Both let him to a chance to rest as they informed him what is currently happening.

“So, what do you think?” Sonic asked with a grin as he held his hand out to him, “Are you ready for a few more fights? I know we are getting closer to the end!”

Mario grinned before taking Sonic’s hand. Sonic helped him up as Mario jumped on Yoshi’s back. Together, they ran back to their fellow fighters to help them. Sonic ran on ahead first with Yoshi carrying Mario to it.

Duon spun to knock the fighters back as they tried to jump and attack him.

“This is bad. None of our attacks are dealing enough damages to him” Red commented with Pit gliding beside them.

“Is there really nothing we can do to beat him?” Pit asked worriedly as he flew to push Marth away from an incoming attack.

“No, it isn’t our attacks aren’t strong. We haven’t weakened him enough” Ike commented as he ran after them, “We need to be quick and weaken him without getting hurt”

“Fast like us?!” Sonic shouted as he Spin Dashed into Duon to knock him back with Yoshi carrying Mario on his back.

“Mario!” Luigi and Peach shouted in utter relief as he jumped from Yoshi’s back to then deliver a kick to Duon’s back!

The red plumber landed before them, spun on his feet, and gave them a thumbs up. With the final fighter returned, everyone faced Duon and prepared to defeat him. He spun his gears and charged at them. Sonic rushed to grab Mario and get away from the incoming Duon.

“So, what’s the plan?” Sonic asked with a grin.

“We created wound” Green informed him as she floats with Ririri, “If we can hit it, we should be able to stop him!”

Sonic nodded as he placed Mario on his feet and stretched while Mario ran forward and shouted for Luigi to come with him. Luigi happily ran with his brother as Peach followed them and waved to Green to join her. Everyone kept their distance from Duon. Yoshi and Sonic jumped and quickly delivered kicks and unique attacks to strike the boss. They were quick enough to get away and allow Mario and Luigi a chance to jump and stomp on Duon’s head!

“Wahoo!” Mario and Luigi shouted as they shared a high five with Ike seizing his chance.

He charged up his strike and lunged at the wound. Duon wasn’t aware of the Radiant Hero who struck the wound to deliver a powerful attack! The boss cried out in pain and swung his fist to punch Ike back! Ike crashed into the ground with Twilight Zelda assisting him.

“Slow him down!” Zelda shouted as she rushed to Ness and Lucas with magic gathering in her hands.

The Ice Climbers rushed to place their hands on the ground to cover it in ice. Link threw his shield on the ice and glided across it with the Master Sword in hand. Toon Link took a running start and slid across the ice with his Master Sword. They drew their swords back and then slashed Duon to have him stumble back!

“Lucario! Focus Punch!” Riley shouted as Lucario and Donkey Kong rushed forward.

They jumped, drew their fists back, and delivered a powerful punch to strike Duon! Duon stumbled back as Zelda cast her magic with Ness and Lucas cast their powers to the wound! Duon cried out as they prepared themselves to deliver the final strikes!

“Mario! Are you with me?!” Sonic shouted as he extended his hand out to him.

He nodded his head as Sonic sped around the plumber to throw him towards Duon. Sonic jumped and charged after his friend. Sonic threw a kick as Mario threw a punch to strike Duon with Kirby charging forward with his sword and Marth and Twilight Link at his sides.

“Follow me!” Marth shouted as they rushed and swung their blades.

Marth and Twilight Link swung Falchion and the Master Sword to strike the wound to create a “x” mark as Kirby was above them. Kirby let out a yell before slamming the sword to deliver the final blow against Duon! Everyone took cover as the boss exploded into pieces and darkness. Once the explosion died away, everyone looked at the area before them.

“Did we do it?” Pit asked as he landed before the plumber brothers.

“Yeah, we did!” Sonic cheered as he jumped and let out a cheer.

Everyone cheered as well as they took care of each other. Then, the rest of the fighters joined with them before they turned to face the Final Destination.

“This is it” Twilight Link said as he faced with Twilight Ganondorf scoffing.

Everyone was ready as Mario said, “Let’s a go!”

Chapter Text

The fighters marched into the Final Destination as they prepared to fight the final boss. They found themselves facing the being behind this, Tabuu. He slowly turned to them and glared at them.

“Why? How?” he asked in a tired manner as he gazed at the row of fighters before the being.

“You cannot do this!” Pit shouted seriously as he pointed his Palutena’s bow at Tabuu, “Your reign of terror is at an end! We will not let you get away with this!”

Tabuu’s wings glowed a red light. The being looked down upon the fighters. He glared at them before flashing the wings. Why couldn’t they leave him alone and let him carry out his plans?!

“This will be your end then” Tabuu declared as the wings glowed another light and prepared another attack.

The fighters prepared themselves as the wind picked up. A blue blur sped around Tabuu. The being couldn’t see the blur as it struck the wings!

“What?” Tabuu asked as he glanced at the wing and felt a strike!

His wing shattered like glass as a blue streak followed it. Another blue blur struck the other wing and caused Tabuu to cry out in pain and hold himself with the wings shattering before him! What being could be fast enough to cease his attack and render his wings useless?

Before him standing on a piece of rocky piece, a blue hedgehog who waved his finger and tsked at Tabuu and said, “You’re too slow!”

Tabuu let out a powerful roar and unleashed a weak wave of energy and only pushed the fighters back! Everyone was still standing and not knocked out!

“This is our chance!” Twilight Link stated as he waved the Master Sword before him.

Everyone prepared themselves before charging at Tabuu from different areas! The Final Brawl begins now!

Fox, Falco, Yoshi, and Sonic charged in first as the others followed them.

“Don’t let him hit you!” Fox shouted as he ran and avoided the waves of energy Tabuu cast upon the fighters.

He jumped over one and drew his blaster to attack with Falco running along the other side with his blaster in hand. They were able to distract Tabuu with Yoshi and Sonic taking the chance to charge forward. Both swung their legs to deliver a combine kick to strike Tabuu’s side.

“Enough of this!” Tabuu shouted as he slapped his wings to strike both!

Yoshi and Sonic shouted in pain before Tabuu summoned lasers to strike both down! They hit the ground with a thud as the lasers flew around and tried to strike the fighters!

“Keep your focus!” Twilight Zelda shouted as she cast her fire to counter the laser until Twilight Link stood in front of her for her protection.

Toon Link jumped and raised his Master Sword to strike Tabuu who appeared to be caught off guard. However, a laser appeared before the young Hero of Time! Snake sat down and took aim with his missile launcher and fired one to hit the laser! Toon Link let out a cheer before swinging his Master Sword to strike Tabuu’s side!

“What?” he asked as he searched for the fighter who struck him.

Meta Knight quickly flew and swung his sword to deliver quicker strikes against Tabuu before flying away to take cover. Kirby was above Tabuu with his sword in hand before falling forward to deliver a powerful strike from behind and swing a hammer from behind!

“Ah! How dare you!” Tabuu snapped as he waved his hand to smack Kirby out of the sky!

Kirby let out a surprised yell before falling to the ground. Ririri puffed up and caught Kirby before he hit the ground with Green sighing in relief. She turned her attention to Tabuu who was flying towards them!

“Ok, anyone have an idea on how to block him?!” Green asked as Ririri flew to pick her trainer up.

Ganondorf rushed in front of the trainer and drew his boardsword with Ike holding Ragnell. Together, they stood side by side as the blocked the incoming Tabuu! Green grabbed Ririri who floated away with Kirby following them. They were surprised to see both standing against Tabuu, but they were being pushed back as well!

“I won’t let you get away with this. I shall have my revenge!” Ganondorf declared

“I won’t let you hurt my friends. I fight for my friends!” Ike shouted as both took the blow and shared a nod.

Together, they countered Tabuu and left him exposed to any attack! Bowser and Twilight Ganondorf took this chance to jump, draw their fists back, and let out a roar as they delivered a powerful punch together to knock Tabuu back! Bowser’s fist was covered in blazing, red fire as Twilight Ganondorf’s fist was clouded in darkness. Their attacks burnt and drained Tabuu who quickly drew himself away and tried to recover from the burn and darkness.

“Heh. Is that all you have?” Twilight Ganondorf taunted as Tabuu focused on the Twilight Demon King.

“No, it is not” Tabuu answered before pointing at the villains and casting a powerful, blue beam to strike them!

They let out a pained cry as they hit the ground with Tabuu only chuckling at them. He failed to notice Captain Falcon and Donkey Kong jumping behind him, drawing their fists back, and preparing to punch him!

“Oak, oak! (Take this!)” Donkey Kong declared as he threw his punch to strike Tabuu first!

Tabuu groaned as he swung his wing to knock Donkey Kong down before feeling a fiery presence and found himself being faced with Captain Falcon!

“FALCON PUNCH!” he yelled before delivering a powerful his punch to strike Tabuu’s chest!

Tabuu cried out in pain as he punched further away from the fighters! Tabuu was distracted Pit and Meta Knight flew around Tabuu with Ness and Lucas running towards him. Pit aimed his bow and fired a few arrows with Meta Knight flying in and out to strike Tabuu. Tabuu used one wing to protect himself from Pit’s arrows and tried to wave his hand to strike Meta Knight.

“Leave me alone!” Tabuu shouted as he waved his hands to cast a wave of energy to knock the fliers away, but they were still hovering in the air.

Meta Knight recovered as he found himself flying above Marth and Link.

“I have an idea” Marth said as he glanced to Link, “Let’s strike together. Pit! Help Link! Meta Knight! Carry me!”

Meta Knight picked up Marth before Pit grabbed Link. Tabuu drew his wings close to protect himself. Meta Knight flew in first and threw Marth forward with him close behind. Marth drew Falchion close before clashing the legendary blade against the broken wing with Meta Knight. Meta Knight clashed his blade against the wing. They let out a powerful yell as their blades broke the wing!

“No! Leave me alone!” Tabuu cried out in pain as Link and Pit took their chance.

Pit threw Link first who raised the Master Sword and clashed it against the other wing. Pit drew his bow and clashed it against the other broken wing.

“No, no!” Tabuu shouted in pain before the Hero of the Wild and Captain of the Angels clashed and broke the wing!

Tabuu could only lower himself to the ground and recover his wings. He couldn’t fly anymore and had to take a break. He placed himself on the ground to recover slowly, but Ness, Lucas, and the Ice Climbers rushed around him.

“PK Freeze!” Ness and Lucas shouted as they cast their ice magic on the feet.

Their powers over ice weren’t as strong as their other physic powers, but they were able to form ice around his feet. The Ice Climbers rushed Tabuu’s lower half and cast their ice to help freeze him in place! Tabuu shivered before flapping his broken wings to blow everyone away!

Twilight Zelda quickly transformed into Sheik and ran to catch Lucas and Ness while Kirby flew to grab the Ice Climbers. Wario summoned his bike and had King Dedede ride with him. They surrounded Tabuu who was trying to protect himself.

“Puyo, puyo! (“I have a plan, and I need your help!)” Kirby said to the Ice Climbers who nodded to him.

The pink puffball waved to King Dedede who only nodded his head in understanding. He held his hammer as he pointed to Tabuu with Wario yelling in agreement. Wario sped up as Kirby floated above Tabuu. Kirby let go of the Ice Climbers and fell with them! All three raised their hammers, but Kirby was charging up his hammer as fire burned from it.

“Puyo! (Now!)” Kirby ordered as all three let out a yell with their hammers held high.

The Ice Climbers slammed their hammers against Tabuu with Kirby delivering a flaming, slam from his hammer. Tabuu cried out in pain as he used his arms to block their strikes. Tabuu then knocked all three away from him as he struggled to pull himself up from the ground. Wario drove around Tabuu and sped towards the back of him.

“Ready?” Wario asked as he looked over his shoulder at King Dedede.

“Yes” King Dedede answered as he stood up and held his hammer in his hands.

He activated it to propel them forward as King Dedede drew it back. As Tabuu was focused on freeing himself, King Dedede slammed his hammer against Tabuu’s back! Tabuu was knocked out of the ground and away as King Dedede cheered with Wario grinning. Tabuu was able to see the pair and cast a sphere towards them. King Dedede quickly grabbed Wario and slammed his hammer against the fighter to knock him upward. King Dedede raised his hammer to protect himself, but the attack was stronger and knocked the king into the ground!

“I’ve got you!” Red shouted as he flew on Charizard’s back who caught Wario, “What do you want to do?”

Yellow was riding with him as Pika was sitting on Charizard’s head. Lucario was running with Riley behind him who was with Fox and Falco.

“We can’t have him fly away and recover” Fox said seriously, “But our guns can’t do anything about it!”

“Maybe you don’t need to use a gun” Zelda said as she cast her fire magic to try and strike down Tabuu.

He barely avoided her magic, but it was enough to slow him down. Ness and Lucas rushed to cast PK Fire and Thunder to prevent Tabuu from recovering. Tabuu created a barrier to protect himself from their magic. His barrier was strong and could resist their powers. This prevented him from escaping to recover.

“We have to break that barrier!” Red shouted as he concluded, “That barrier is reflecting special attacks and magic. We need a strong physical attack!”

“Lucario! Focus Punch!” Riley ordered as Lucario rushed and jumped with his paws drew back as it glowed a red light.

Sheik disappeared in smoke before reappearing at Lucario’s side.  Both drew their fists back to throw a powerful punch against the barrier to crack it!

“It isn’t enough” Riley said worriedly as Wario got an idea and fell from Charizard!

Yellow was confused and tried to reach out to him, but Red shook his head. Wario made sure his butt was ready and prepared to slam it against the upper half of the barrier with a loud thud! The barrier shattered with their combined efforts as Zelda charged up her magic with Ness and Lucas charged up their respective powers as well.

“Lucas! Ness! Now!” Zelda shouted as both shared a nod.

“PK FIRE!” they shouted as they cast a powerful beam of fire to pierce Tabuu.

Tabuu created a powerful, blue beam to counter their incoming, fiery beam. Sheik landed on the ground and transformed back to Twilight Zelda. She charged up her own magic. Zelda cast fiery spheres near Tabuu to lower his guard.

“Zelda! Now!” Twilight Zelda urged her ancestor as she grinned.

“I know!” Zelda shouted as she waved her hand to cast a powerful, dark knight to lunge to strike Tabuu!

Tabuu couldn’t hold up his beam and was struck back. He cried out in pain and was slowly losing his strength to fight them. He was unsure how long he could hold out for, so he reached out to grab Princess Peach and Twilight Zelda. Twilight Zelda quickly grabbed Peach and used his magic to teleport away from the incoming Tabuu before he could grab them!

Fox and Falco took this chance to run along Tabuu’s arm with Falco taunting, “Thinks for the lift!”

Tabuu raised his hand to knock both off, but they jumped when he did this! Tabuu was surprised as he lowered his hand, but Wolf took this chance to ran along it. Fox threw a kick as Falco swung his wing. Wolf dragged his claws at his sides and continued to run. Fox and Falco delivered powerful kicks and strike as Wolf clawed Tabuu!

“Get off me!” he shouted as he unleashed a powerful, energy strike to push them off!

They crashed into the ground as Snake, Samus, R.O.B, Mr. Game and Watch, and Olimar and Pikmin rushed around Tabuu.

“I need a distraction” Samus shouted to them, “R.O.B, you’re with me. Snake, Olimar, and Mr. Game and Watch need to do anything”

“On it. I’ve got a plan. Olimar and Mr. Game and Watch grab onto me!” Snake shouted as he pulled out his copter.

Olimar and Mr. Game and Watch grabbed onto the spy as he flew above Tabuu. Snake checked his arsenal and noticed that he was running out. He nodded to himself as Olimar summoned as many Pikmin as he could.

“Go! Go and attack him!” Olimar ordered as summoned two pink Pikmin to grab him and fly away.

The rest of the Pikmin let out a cry as they fell and latched onto Tabuu! He was surprised as he felt their tiny attacks. He quickly spun to knock as many as he could off him. Snake released all his remaining explosives to explode on Tabuu! He cried out in pain as Mr. Game and Watch fell from Snake as he quickly landed away. Mr. Game and Watch summoned a key and slammed it against Tabuu to push him to the ground. Tabuu grabbed the fighter to throw him away.

“R.O.B are you ready?” Samus asked as she took her stance and charged up her blaster.

The robot’s eyes flashed a blue light as he charged up his own beam. Both fired their own unique, blue beams to strike Tabuu from the front and back! He gasped as he felt the beams strike him and faltered. Pika jumped from Charizard’s head with his cheeks sparking.

“Pika! Thunder!” Yellow shouted as she realized what the electric mouse was doing.

The Pikachu gathered electricity to then unleash the move upon Tabuu! Tabuu finally fell to his knees the attack damaged him heavily.

“Wonderful! Let us handle this!” Green shouted as she and Ririri flew near him, “Ririri! Sing!”

Peach skipped towards Tabuu as she began to dance and sing. Ririri gently placed her trainer on the ground and floated to use the move “Sing”. Together, the princess and Balloon Pokémon used their moves to make Tabuu drowsy! He was losing the strength to fight off their attacks as Red landed behind Twilight Link and Diddy Kong.

“We are almost there” Red said as he tossed out Saur and Blasty, “We just need a few more attacks. Once he is finished, we can find Sakurai. Diddy Kong, you’re with me. Twilight Link get ready to deliver a powerful strike. Then, Mario and Luigi should be able to finish Tabuu”

They agreed with the Fighter who took the lead with Diddy Kong behind him. Twilight Link remained with Mario and Luigi before they took off in the opposite direction. Red checked on the Pokémon with him before nodding his head. All three Pokémon stood in front of him as he waved his hand.

“Take this! Triple Finish!” Red ordered as all three Pokémon charged up their attacks.

Blasty unleashed a powerful beam of water, Saur scattered his leaves forward in a cut and precise manner, and Charizard unleashed a powerful breath of fire! Their attacks combined into one and struck Tabuu! He was too tired to properly put up a barrier and took the attack. Diddy Kong rushed to Tabuu and jumped to grab onto Tabuu’s head! Tabuu was distracted and tried to pull the gorilla off.

“Let’s go” Twilight Link said as he ran forward with the plumber brothers behind him.

Diddy Kong began to shake and punch Tabuu’s head until the being was able to gather his powers to throw the gorilla off! Diddy Kong let out a wail as Charizard flew to catch him! Diddy Kong was relived as Twilight Link rushed behind Tabuu. The Master Sword glowed a powerful, blue light as he jumped with the blade above his head. He let out a yell as he swung the blade downward to deliver a powerful strike against Tabuu!

“Ah! No!” he cried out as Twilight Link landed on his feet, “My powers… Why am I losing it?”

He noticed the wounds he gained were growing and wearing down on him. Mario and Luigi shared a knowing expression. Both brothers jumped and faced Tabuu. He was surprised as he realized that this was the end for him. Mario and Luigi drew their flaming fists back and delivered a powerful, unified punch against him. Tabuu gasped in pain as both brothers landed on the ground.

“Why?” Tabuu whispered in pain as he reached his hand out, “I was close. Close to obtaining the power I yearned for to be strong and ruled this creation”

His body began to break apart into digital bites and bits before falling to his hands and knees. The fighters gathered around the digital being who weakly stared at them. They were worried and held concerned expressions before him. He realized why he was wrong. He failed to account for their bonds and powers across the worlds. He closed his eyes and accepted his fate to disappear in data.

“Is that it?” Pit asked curiously.

“I believe so!” Sonic said in a warm manner as everyone erupted in warm cheers and cries of their own.

They embraced, cheered, and shouted in delight as they checked on each other. They had finally stopped the being that interrupted their tournament and caused their worlds to be in chaos. As they were focused on their celebrations, Snake and Sonic recalled their letters and went to find someone deeper in the distorted space and time areas. They grinned when they found a sleeping Sakurai.

“Hey! We found him!” Sonic shouted warmly as he waved to everyone.

Everyone gathered around Sakurai and were delighted to see him again! He was safe and unharmed from their fights. They waited until he awoke and sat up.

“Oh, what time is it? I would like a drink from my favorite sugar pop beverages” he commented with a yawn until he blinked and faced everyone, “Ah! You’re here! Then that means you dealt with the threat! Thank you!”

Everyone held warm, comforting expressions to him as he grinned and turned to Snake and Sonic who were happy to be with him.

“And I am thankful that my letters were able to reach you” he said in relief, “I hope I didn’t bother you”

Both reassured him that they were pleased and grateful to join the fight and help their friends. Sakurai stood up, brushed off the dust, and examined the area around themselves. He noticed that it wasn’t normal nor proper. He nodded to himself as he grinned before them.

“Do not worry” he reassured them, “I can restore everything to normal. Now that the threat is finished, everything is safe and sound. So please, stand back and let me handle this”

His hands glowed a blue and pink light before he happily cast his powers into the sky and ground. Everything around them began to repair itself! Soon, the black holes were closed, and the areas were repaired! Everyone was in awe at his powers until they noticed the area around themselves were changed. In a blink of an eye, they were transported to the Smash Mansion! Everyone cheered in relief before turning to Sakurai himself.

“Would you like to continue our tournament?” he asked with a grin, “We should be able to hold it now that everything is in order!”

The fighters were delighted and agreed warmly to continue their brawl. They happily rushed to the stages as Sakurai followed them. He observed their brawls and enjoyed how far they’ve come. It warmed his heart and gave peace to his soul. With his mind cleared, he knew he had to hold another one soon. Once their brawl had finished, Sakurai returned to the mansion and checked on the list of invitations he planned to send out. He even summoned a map before himself and realized there were more worlds before him. A few others not even close to their ones he was close with.

“Fascinating” he said as he revealed the locations of a grand plan, an arena, a tower, and a boxing ring, “Wonderful! I cannot wait to invite them! They seem interesting and wonderful friends to ours!”

However, three more worlds appeared in his view. He recognized a clock tower, a fighting dojo, a lab, and even a steampunk like location. He was surprised and observed the locations with interest along with the prominent fighters from it. He conjured up four letters and grinned.

“Ah, this is going to be an interesting tournament” he said warmly before shaking his head, “Hehe, it is time for them to settle it in smash!”

He waved his hand and cast the invitations to the worlds with a grin. He turned to his room and created his stages and events for them to enjoy for another round of friendly fighting. Though, he sensed a tremendous amount of light and darkness forming slowly in the center of his new creation. He was worried, but his worries soon vanished when he recalled the fighters that were invited to this. He grinned as he continued to his work and knew that the fighters could handle the upcoming smash tournament. It was time for them to settle this in smash!
