When Galeem invaded, all the Fighters present perished; however, there were others—those who chose to stay behind in case something went wrong—the ones they could come home to. Here we have gathered to find spirits and maybe, just maybe, take down Galeem. Though, some others, including my female counterpart, have also gone missing. It seems as if while Galeem cannot find us, his powers still permeate this world. Every day is a battle for us—knowing any of us could fall at any moment, but we must try.

Dark Samus—The Phazon Echo of Samus

Yoshi—…A Yoshi

Luigi—To be honest, he's kind of useless.

Ness—A boy gifted with great powers

Jigglypuff—A singing puffball with a positive attitude

Peach—Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom

Daisy—Princess of Sarasaland, and Peach's Echo

Sheik—The apparent leader of our group

Nana and Popo a.k.a. The Ice Climbers

Pichu—The go-getting pre-evolution of Pikachu

Young Link—One of two incarnations of Link traveling with us; Mature for his age.

Dr. Mario—He's Mario, but a War Monk as we call them

Leaf—A female Pokémon trainer from Kanto; Her team is the same as Red's but have different colors.

Lucas—Another boy from Ness's homeworld who shares similar powers

Alph—A fellow Pikmin explorer; not sure what category to put him in

Toon Link—The other Link traveling with us; enthusiastic and cheerful; Hero of the Winds

R.O.B.—A "Robotic Operating Buddy"; Surprisingly kind.

Wolf—Captain of Star Wolf; basically a "dark" Star Fox from what I've heard

Wii Fit Trainer (Male)—He's just like his female counterpart, but masculine

Miis—Human-like beings who live for the fight with fists, swords, and guns

Little Mac—The boxing type

Lucina—Chrom's daughter, heroine of Ylisse, and my wife

Robin—Me; Male tactician hero of Ylisse

Bowser Jr. & the Koopalings—All-around mischief makers and Bowser's top goons; I do not trust them.

Cloud—Member of an elite fighting force; lonesome at first, but he's since made many friends in Smash

Corrins—Prince and Princess of three far-off kingdoms; Have dragon's blood; be careful around Falchion.

Ridley—Arch-enemy of Samus Aran; possibly the most wicked one out of everyone here

Ken—Ryu's Echo fighter; Very competitive

Richter—Member of the Belmont clan and Simon's Echo Fighter; Surprisingly friendly and outgoing

Incineroar— Grandiose fiery pro-wrestler from the Alola region; Loves to be as loud as possible

(Male) Robin


Things have been mostly going pretty well, bar a few priority-related scuffles and some trust issues, but I have no reason to believe with the powers we all share, we won't find at least someone: a few of us have already found companion spirits. I hear there's an entire city just beyond the horizon—we're bound to find more there!

"So, who exactly do you think we'll find here? I hope we find Kirby soon, and Pikachu," Jigglypuff bewailed.

"It's not like you're the only one who has lost close friends, Jigglypuff," Sheik delivered coldly, cueing Jigglypuff's attention to Young Link, who bore a visible look of distress on his face. In fact, most of the remaining fighters struggled to not show their anxiety.

"What about you Sheik?"

Sheik turned away giving Jigglypuff a stern "Hmph!"

Peach leaned over to Jigglypuff, reassuring her that Sheik cared about them too, just appearing cold and focused on the mission. Olimar offered them some lunch. Afterward, the entire group continued until R.O.B. stopped abruptly, started sparking, and his joints started turning at unnatural angles.

Pichu, not knowing R.O.B for too long prior, asked, "Um guys, is that normal?" Everyone backed away, forming an empty circle around R.O.B. As they stood guard, a giant beam of light came from behind. Everyone jumped out of the way, but R.O.B., couldn't even move. As he was vaporized, the impact created an explosion, which knocked everyone to their feet. After the dust settled, Chrom rose up. "Is everyone alright?"

"Yeah," Popo & Nana said simultaneously breathing heavily.

Everyone dusted themselves off and began walking again toward the World of Light; that is until Bowser Jr. inexplicably collapsed. Chrom ran over toward him, again asking if he was fine.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's okay; I'll be with my dad soon, right?"

Chrom shook Bowser's son rapidly. "No! You have to stay with us! That's not how it works. They all watched as Bowser Jr. closed his eyes and faded away. Only Peach and Daisy hid their faces, not sure whether to show their relative luck or outright depressed. Wario, on the other hand, appeared to show no remorse at all.

"Hah! Big deal! What'll losing two more do to us? We're strong!" The rest of the group gave him a death glare. In response, Wario just dug through his pockets and snacked on some of his garlic reserves while marching onward.

Roy felt a pain in his chest and said softly, "Chrom." He too began to fade.

Chrom moved to caress him, but he couldn't do anything. In a panic, Incineroar pulled at him off of where Roy had been. Chrom fought back at Incineroar, trying to escape the Pokémon's grasp. He stretched the arm which carried his brand out to Roy right before he vanished completely—screaming out his name. It was only after this, Incineroar let go. Chrom got down on his knees.

"Roy, how could this happen? What kind of sick game are you playing at Galeem? WHAT KIND?" Chrom put such force into his lament that one could see the sweat and tears streaming down his face. Richter patted Chrom on his armored shoulder, trying to cheer him up.

"Hey Chrom, if you're worried about you vanishing right now, no need to fret. We're still here. Now take my hand." Richter helped Chrom up. The subsequent sight that shocked them most was Jigglypuff crying with Pichu trying to console her.

Luigi threw himself upon Richter's side crying, hugging him. "Richter, I'm scaaaaared!"

"There there. You'll be alright too, I'll make sure of it," Richter said patting Luigi's head.

"R-really?"

"Of course, for I am Richter Belmont!" Richter exclaimed striking a pose. "Now let's move!" Sheik appeared in front of them, informing them that Mr. Game & Watch and Alph had also disappeared.

Cloud started humming to comfort himself. His tune attracted Jigglypuff's attention. "Um, Mr. Strife, how many of us do you think will actually make it?"

"I'm not sure. Guess we'll just have to hope for the best while preparing for the worst. Here, I can carry you if you want."

"Thanks, Cloud."

Before Jigglypuff could hop into Cloud's arms, another voice rang out: "Everyone, stop." Little Mac yelled just loudly enough to where everyone could no doubt hear him. Wario had fallen behind and him and Daisy were trying to drag him."

"Get off of me; I'm fine!" Wario growled in anger taking short, rapid breaths as he began to dissipate.

"We just took a moment to rest," said Meta Knight.

"I can try to help you," Dr. Mario offered.

"I said I don't need your help!"

Pichu began to repeat to itself, "There's just one more—just one more. This has to be the last one!"

Luigi approached him. "Wario, you're, um…"

"No! I'm stronger than that!" He broke free of Daisy and Little Mac's grasp, standing up for a while before collapsing again, vaporizing upon impact; his last words being, "You hear that Galeem? I'm coming for you!"—those of defiance.

They then turned to Wolf, also growling, covering the parts of him that were fading. "Grr. Argh. Don't look at me!" Wolf turned on his reflector further trying to hide his wounds but to no avail. The forcefield disappeared as soon as he did.

Pichu screamed in sorrow. "I can't take this anymore! Why do all of my friends have to disappear?"

Then, Jigglypuff's voice: "Pichu, I don't feel...right." Everyone huddled around her. "I don't wanna go!"

Cloud fulfilled his promise to hold her; "It's going to be alright, Jigglypuff. We will find a way to rescue you. Remember: you're not alone."

Ike kneeled down before a lost Pichu, simply telling the devastated Pokémon, "It's not your fault."

"Just don't tell the others," Jigglypuff said sobbing before vanishing in Cloud's arms. He cried a few tears then moved forward, as everyone else did soon after.
