Your Hom is in Another Castle
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers. That goes to Nintendo. I only own the witches/sorcerers from the Golden Land and the concept of the Golden Land/Holy Realm.
Summary: With the Goddesses, Pit and the Hands gone from Smash Brothers Mansion for a "divine meeting", the Smashers are free to do whatever they want until they return. Bowser is already preparing for one more attempt to kidnap Peach before the year ends and he has the assistance from those above the Gods. Peach not wanting to be kidnapped again, convinces Shulk to change clothes with her not knowing that Bowser would attack that very moment and kidnap Shulk. The situation while humorous to the Smashers except Rob and Lucina, the two are then forced to go find the shattered mirror shards of the Holy Realm that prevents anyone from getting to Bowser and it doesn't look like the other Smashers (particularly Mario) want to assist them. In the meantime, Shulk has to put up with Bowser's shenanigans for being stupid enough to wear the dress.
Pairing: Robin/Shulk, Lucina/Pittoo, Ganondorf/Palutena, Mario/Peach and minor Fox/Sonic and others
Rated: M (for mature)
Genre: Romance, Humor, Parody, Friendship and Drama

AriZonia1 and I were basically joking about this while PMing so the idea alone is from her. I just thought it would work for a comedy fic for New Year's (and it's about time for the Golden Land to screw with everyone). The rating is M instead of T simply because I can get away with more extreme sex jokes but no lemons in this story. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Ultimate Power
"I have finally found it! The gates to the Holy Realm!"
If there was one thing Bowser, the King of Koopas was known for it was that he was persistent in his goals in kidnapping Peach and conquering the Mushroom Kingdom (but sometimes the universe). The end of the year was coming and it was still Smash Brothers season where everything had to be put on hold for the sake of the tournament. Well Bowser wanted to try one more time this year at his goals before the start of the New Year.
His plan would not have worked if Master and Crazy Hand were around to watch him. They along with the Goddess of Light, Queen of the Cosmos, Goddess of Nature along with her demi-Goddess and Palutena's Captain all had to leave to attend a special meeting occurring somewhere in the galaxy. Pit would not go into any details of what was going on and told his dark counterpart to keep quiet on what would go down. It was something of high importance but the bottom line was that the Smashers were tasked to keep everything in order, but with nobody to watch the Smashers, many left to go back to their world for the holiday season instead of communicating with each other. For example, Samus was quick to leave to go back to her duties as bounty hunter despite Captain Falcon and Little Mac's protest. Olimar went back home to see his family for the holiday season and even Mario was packing his things up ready for a end of the year vacation with Peach, Luigi and a few others hopefully without Bowser's interference.
And then you got Bowser who took this opportunity to take Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings away to rebuild his castle so it could work like a spaceship, an air fleet and overall preparing them for one mega takeover before the year ended. So he had attempted to take over the galaxy twice, but his problem was simply angering a Goddess who when at full power made his fleet worthless and allowed Mario to stay alive when he should have died. When he was thinking up a plan though, he did overhear Dark Pit talking to Lucina about where Palutena and the others went. As vague as he was, he made it clear that there are powers higher than God and it needed to be addressed. This made him do a little more research before he heard about a place called the Golden Land. Despite Bowser's plan taking place in the center of the universe, he apparently never actually reached the center of the universe. The Golden Land is placed in the center of the universe ruled by the creator who is known as The One. The only way to access the Golden Land was to find the door known as the Holy Realm. After searching tirelessly, he finally found the door and it happened to be next to the Smash Brothers Realm.
Getting in was difficult and ended up resulting in him damaging the golden door that only appeared at a certain time of day in the universe and for a few minutes. Jr. had a bad feeling that perhaps the door shouldn't be damaged, but as long as it was usable, Bowser could fly right in with his fleet.
The Koopa family was amazed at how beautiful the place was once they entered. Despite being called the Golden Land, it looked like a fairy tale realm. From where he was, it looked like a garden with beautiful golden butterflies that fluttered over to the huge purple palace in the distant.
"Now that is fancy." Bowser commented. "Perhaps I can take it for myself."
It was only a thought since if this was where people higher than God lived he needed to be cautious. Rosalina was patient and forgiving but these beings could very well end his life.
Bowser jumped off his fleet along with his son. The rest of the Koopalings were ordered to stay onboard, but they didn't mind too much seeing as they got to enjoy the night sky in the Golden Land. As the two approached the garden arch that was as green as what Mario's brother wore, they noticed that there was someone past the arch and sitting down. It looked to be a young boy who appeared to be around twelve with blonde hair and a fancy European suit. The young boy was alone with a cracked golden mirror on the table. Despite the golden edges, the glass on the mirror was rather dull to where you couldn't see your reflection. The boy sighed in defeat as he sat back in his chair.
"Dammit…he's mocking me…"
The boy jumped though hearing something wrestle in the bushes. He was rather surprised at the two newcomers inside his garden.
"How did you get here?"
Bowser chuckled seeing that this boy probably assumed that no outsider could get in.
"Ha ha! The door known as the Holy Realm led me here and my fleet. Now you'll tell me where I can meet the creator of the universe or things will get ugly. And this place is really nice."
The boy's eyes darkened seeing the King of Koopas and the fleet that was in plain sight behind him.
"You threaten me…" He murmured. "What do you want with me?"
Jr.'s eyes widened with those words but Bowser didn't seem to catch it.
"Oh I'm not really interested in you squirt. Just bring me to your leader, or I'll set this place on fire."
"Uh…papa…I think this is who we're looking for."
"Ha-ha-ha, that's a good one…wait what?!"
"For being King of the Koopa's you're rather dull." The boy mumbled as he pressed a few buttons on his suit causing a huge scythe in the form of a Grim Reaper to come out causing the two to move back. This was not a good they should be messing with.
"If you're looking for the leader of the Golden Land, that is me King Boser. I am Prism, Sorcerer of Misfortune and the creator of the universe. Normally I would just get rid of you since you interrupted my me time, but I'm interested in you since you're the villain and all." He said that with a sheepish grin but still held his weapon in his hands making his smile far from genuine.
"Uh papa…I don't think this is a good idea…" Jr. told his father getting the creepy child vibe from the blonde in front of them.
"Nonsense Junior! Anyways, I want you to give me power to defeat Mario once and for all!"
"Oh, you mean your plan with taking the galaxy went as well as you would expect so you're aiming higher? Amazing." Prism joked. "And I don't know. The powers I have are stronger than the divine beings known as Gods. I don't think you can handle it."
Bowser snarled at the arrogant little kid when he turned his back but Prism just laughed as he grabbed the mirror on the table.
"Well I'm feeling generous." He responded as he showed him the mirror. "You see this? This is a powerful mirror that acts as a key to the Holy Realm. It's cracked so you got in easily when normally the door almost never reveals itself to newcomers. The mirror has extraordinary powers besides being the key. With this, you can be the ruler of the galaxy with relative ease. As an added bonus, it can curse those who oppose you. Like say those Smasher allies…if you wanted them to stay out, you would demand they play by your rules and shape the universe how you see fit. Of course be warned, if you touch Skyworld where my angels are, I will end you."
When Prism said that last part it actually worried Bowser but it made some sense if Prism had a favorite angel or liked Palutena. He wasn't going to pry but he already had some ideas in mind.
"So if I wanted Mario to lose immediately, would it do that?"
"What fun would that be? Just make him play by your rules. Like Twitch Play Pokémon style or something."
Bowser and his son tilted his head in confusion at what the boy was talking about.
"The mirror needs to be broken for it to take effect." Prism continued. "Once you shatter it, then it can grant different powers depending on how well you use it. Please don't cut yourself with it and be warned I'm not responsible for any side effects it has."
Again Jr. was suspicious of the boy. This plan was too shifty for his liking and while Bowser has done things like this before, he probably didn't realize he was making a deal with the devil.
"Ha, no side effect will stop me this time! Give me that mirror!"
Prism had no problem throwing the mirror toward him and it was immediately clawed by the King of the Koopas breaking the mirror into eight shards; one for Jr. and the other seven for the Koopalings leaving Bowser with just the handle but Prism still wasn't done explaining what it can do.
"The handle is the best part of the mirror more so than the mirror itself. The handle is a weapon and can reflect whatever you want to happen. Just don't go too overboard because the last thing I need if for something to be so messed up that gamers won't get a sequel to their favorite games."
"So this works like the Star Rod then except more powerful that nothing can neutralize it?"
"For the most part. I doubt Mario will find out your weakness now." He smirked. "Now get out and go kidnap your princess. I'll let you use the Golden Land to hide from the divine beings, but be warned that if you mess up my realm I'll eject you before you can say "Oh crap!" and I mean it…"
Prism wouldn't let the two ask any more questions on why Prism was being so lenient. Bowser Jr. assumed that the boy must be bored if he handed his father this much power. They wouldn't even know if they had any power whatsoever unless they tested it out with their usual schemes. Bowser just chuckled looking where the glass shards of the mirror were. This time he would triumph over Mario.
Smash Brothers Mansion was rather quiet without Master and Crazy Hand around. In fact so many Smashers have gone off to their world to continue their holiday cheer that it was a question of who was still around. Most of the assist trophies had to stay because they didn't have that much freedom with a few exceptions. It was simply a question of who was still around rather than who left.
Most of the residences of the Mushroom Kingdom were going to go back to their world tonight and once Mario left, then others would probably follow with only those who couldn't return home to remain behind.
Peach was in the middle of packing happy at the idea that she'll be able to spend some time with Mario alone, but something was still nagging her in the back of her mind. Bowser had left with his kids and hasn't returned and it sure as hell wasn't for a vacation. In her mind, she knew Bowser was planning for another kidnapping. For once she wanted Bowser to leave her alone instead of staying in his castle. She had to think of a plan and hopefully it would work. Bowser wasn't dumb, but perhaps she could delay her usual kidnapping.
Walking outside of her room, she noticed someone was running her way. She smiled realizing that she had her victim…or rather friend to help her.
"Hey Shulk sweetie, can you come over here!"
The Monado boy was running from something and he was obviously flustered. Hearing the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom made him look behind him before he obeyed. Peach had no problem dragging him into her pink room causing Shulk to look away even more embarrassed at being in the princess' room. Mario would kill him if he found out.
"Shulk, can I ask you a favor?"
"W-What is it princess?"
Peach was quick with her demands. "Can you switch places with me? Give me your clothes and I'll lend you my dress."
"W-What?!"
Of course Shulk would react like that. Besides Marth, no guy in Smash Brothers would willingly dress up like a girl much less a princess. Peach smiled as she grabbed at his outfit.
"Come on it will only be for tonight." She hummed. "I want to play a game with Mario and I want to see how far Mario will go to find me in your clothes."
"Uh…couldn't you ask Zelda?"
"She's a brunette. He would notice immediately."
So because I'm a blonde I'm the one who is asked? Shulk asked himself as he felt a chill down his spine seeing Peach trying to remove his top. "Umm…I think Mario would notice too if I was in your clothes. I have short hair."
"You shouldn't worry too much about the details. Now please allow me to strip you."
"But princess…"
"Besides, I can see it in your eyes that you want to hide from someone too."
"Yes but…" Shulk's cheeks darkened at the thought. The only person he was running from was his roommate Rob who accidentally fell on top of him after getting out of the shower. Okay, maybe he shouldn't have had put the Monado in a location where Rob could easily run into it, but it was only for a few seconds and in those few seconds Rob's naked body was on top of him with water dripping down his hair and soaking up his clothes and he was looking at him with such a seductive look that he had to leave. "…Okay…just for tonight princess…"
He couldn't believe how she convinced him so easily. Perhaps he was too much of a pushover or perhaps it was the idea of just wanting to calm his mind and heart for a few hours. It was only as something as harmless as putting a dress on, so Peach had no problem stripping him down into nothing but his boxers. He yelped when he saw Peach lifting her dress up before he decided to rush into her pink bathroom while she put on his clothes. His cheeks remained red at the thought that she would probably smell the scent of him going outside into the garden dragged by those Villager children and having honey from the beehive be dumped on him (thank god there were no bees in it). It was why he needed a shower in the first place. He didn't have time to actually spray anything on his red outfit to hide the sweet smell nor did he have time to put it in the laundry. Perhaps Peach will do his laundry before she leaves tonight.
"I'm done Shulk." She hummed as she opened the bathroom and threw him her dress. "You should not worry too much Shulk. Mario won't do too much if he finds me first before you."
So he'll probably beat me up for wearing your dress. Shulk grumbled to himself as she closed the door on him so he could put the dress. Honestly how do you put this thing on? Should I do this or…crap! Okay, I think I got it!
"Shulk, do you need help sweetie?" She asked innocently as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was use to frilly things but to wear something as loose as this made her feel light. Yes she wore sports gear during all the sporting events, but even she had to admit that they were still too girly according to Daisy. If she looked good in a red outfit like this, then she would look good in anything.
"N-No. I'm done." He squeaked as he stumbled out of the bathroom with nothing but the pink dress she was so fond of. "Awah…how do you even move in this? Please don't make me wear your shoes…uh…I feel so naked."
Normally Peach would have giggled but getting a good glimpse at the blonde made her realize that if she gave him a long blonde wig, Shulk could honestly pull it off. He had a slim built and he slipped into the dress rather easily. With a few more adjustments, she could trick anyone with this.
"Oh you look fine Shulk. I won't give you my shoes so you can walk, but perhaps you'll want my crown and a wig to go with it?"
"Uh…I couldn't princess. It's only for tonight…and I want to avoid Rob."
"Aww? You got romantic woes? I can help!"
If Peach didn't stop embarrassing him, Shulk might faint from the blood rushing to his head. Perhaps there was a small hint of a crush for the shorter male, but it was nothing serious. By the New Year it will be nothing anyway.
"It's okay Peach…"
She gave him a rather devilish smile as she spoke. "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Rob decided to be your prince and save you from danger. It's so romantic."
"Oh that's why you let Bowser kidnap you…" He snarked to himself hoping Peach didn't hear that. "That would be funny though. Who would be Bowser for me? Chrom? Dunban or the Cuckoos? Actually anything but the Cuckoos…"
By trying to remain lighthearted in this situation, they wouldn't notice that something bad was going to happen until too late. A huge rumble could be heard outside along with some cannons being fired. It looked like the Bullet Bills got loose from Smash Run but on further inspection, cannon balls were being dropped outside.
"W-What is going on?" Shulk wondered as he searched around the room realizing that he forgot the Monado in his room.
"Oh no…"
Most of the Smashers were outside relaxing. The sudden attack got many of them on their feet looking up toward the sky. Mario who just finished packing was not pleased seeing Bowser in his fleet again.
"Of all the times…"
Bowser laughed as he stood on top of his ship with the broken mirror. "HA HA HA! THIS TIME MARIO, THE UNIVERSE IS MINE!"
"Hey Bowser, if you attack the mansion, you're going to hurt the others!" Mario called out.
Bowser wasn't too concerned about that. He was certain they could survive debris falling on them and already knew how the mansion protected itself from fire hazards, so he just needed to be quick with what he had to do.
Some Smashers such as Sonic and Megaman were just looking onward in awe at what was going on. Perhaps Sonic wasn't phased too much because he was bored and wanted to get on the action. He looked ready to bounce off the slowly burning mansion to get to Bowser but the King of the Koopas made his motives clear.
"MY FIRST JOB IS TO GET PRINCESS PEACH!" He declared as he looked down at her room. He memorized her room and prepared the claw hand to grab her from her window.
Mario wouldn't react fast enough when he ordered Jr. to shoot the large hand from the main fleet toward Peach's room shattering the glass. Shulk pushed Peach down on the ground seeing the hand coming their way causing it to miss. Jr. grumbled as he grabbed the person with the dress. Shulk's eyes widened realizing that he was going to get taken over Peach.
"Oh no…" He mumbled as he screamed when he was pulled out. How Bowser did not notice that it was Shulk was beyond him but perhaps it was because he was so high up.
"Peach!" Megaman called out as he prepared his mega buster. "I'll break the hand."
With how fast it was moving it didn't seem like Megaman would get a clean shot without hitting the person. Bowser chuckled as Jr. quickly pulled their target into the fleet before Mario made his way up the mansion by attempting to triple jump on certain portions. It was at this point that other Smashers started to come out to escape the slowly burning building.
"God dammit Bowser! Why did you have to ruin the mood?!" Dark Pit cursed as he rushed out in a black bathrobe. Lucina was next to him in cute blue pajamas equally annoyed.
Bowser let out his usual laugh as he held the broken mirror handle skyward.
"Let's see if this works. MARIO, IF YOU AND YOUR SMASHER BUDDIES INTERFERE WITH MY CONQUEST, YOU WILL FIGHT BY MY RULES!"
Mario obviously wasn't listening as he got to the top of the mansion and then proceeded to jump toward Bowser on the top of his fleet. The golden mirror shined despite the lack of glass in the middle and hit the entire mansion. Mario gasped as he was hit and sent crashing back down. Sonic was quick to catch him but was hit with the burning gold light too. Pittoo's eyes widened as he rolled out of the way at the last minute to avoid getting hit but Lucina wasn't so lucky.
"Lucina!"
"Gahhhh!"
Bowser still wouldn't know if the power was affecting them. All he knew was he could see the Smashers hurting. He smirked seeing Mario trying to get back up only for gravity to betray him and pull him back down. Again his trademark laugh was heard throughout the area as he decided it was time to leave now he had his princess.
"Jr. start it up. Its time to start conquering the other worlds now!"
"Alright papa!" Bowser Jr. cheered as he ordered the other Koopalings to go to those worlds immediately. Bowser smirked seeing Mario try to move a third time.
"GOOD LUCK LOSERS! I HAVE ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOLDEN LAND! GWAH HA HA!"
Not like Mario would know what the Golden Land was. He could only watch as the ships put their guns away and zoomed off outside of the galaxy with Bowser making his escape. If only Rosalina, Samus, the Star Fox crew or even Olimar were here they could give chase immediately. The only person who could chase them was Meta Knight who was also hit.
"Meta Knight, we got to go after them!" He shouted. "He made off with the princess!"
"Again?" Meta Knight snarked trying to shake off the power he was hit with. It was so powerful that he thought his mask cracked for a minute. "Alas, we do not have much of a choice…but we should probably douse the outside of the mansion."
The Villagers were not happy that they got hit, so at the mention of extinguishing the flames, they all took their watering cans out and started removing the fire from the grass and stepping on bullet bills that did not hit the target.
However the Smashers outside froze hearing a groan coming from Peach's room. Someone was there and apparently Rob went inside thinking it was someone else.
"Shulk, you okay?" They could hear Rob shout before letting out a yelp. "Wait, you're not Shulk!"
"No…I'm not…I guess my prediction was on the mark this time…"
The room wasn't in good condition so the person jumped out of the window, which Rob followed only to have a horrible landing next to the person. Mario's eyes widened seeing who was in the room besides the one kidnapped.
"P-Peach, you weren't the one taken?"
Sonic whistled checking Peach out in Shulk's clothes. She looked more badass with it but she lacked the Monado.
"N-No…I'm sorry Mario…but they took Shulk instead."
There was a moment where no one said anything letting that information be absorbed. Only when the information sunk in did everyone shout in disbelief at the turn of events. One could only imagine how well Bowser would react that he got the wrong princess.
Me: TBC with 4729 words.
Li: Well Shulk's life is going to suck now.
Me: Shhh! Bowser doesn't know yet! Notes!
1. Yes I think this story will be the closest thing to what people want from a Fallen Angel sequel. Now I think I'll make it clear, I probably won't make a sequel simply because it would be too dark and I would have to stick with the pairings in that universe (I would rather Pitcest now than Ike/Pit). As a result, this is the introduction of the Golden Land cast to those who don't know. In my main Disgaea fic Higanbana in the Red Moon, Prism is the creator of the universe who does a good enough job keeping the universe balanced but lets Gods fight over while he isolates himself and others in his own realm. He's untouchable for the most part and he's also a huge brat. He shows up everywhere but the common theme of his character is YES he's bias toward the angel race and loathes the alien race. He's rather chill about Bowser mainly because he's bored and he won't let anything go beyond that.
2. Peach being smart is not really a thing, but really if Bowser wasn't so stupid it wouldn't have had worked. Peach is crafty in the RPG Mario games though so her switching places are not a bad thing (plus she said only for the night).
3. Bowser's rule seems to vary depending on the Smasher hit. Dark Pit wasn't hit because Kid Icarus characters break the 4th wall (and Prism made it clear no angel could be harmed without facing his wrath).
That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
