Super Smash Bros Unite Super Smash Bros

The three Arwings circled the structure, their blue g-diffusers humming loudly. The trio of small aircraft looped over the top of the columns and the pilots were speaking to each other, bantering about events that had occurred to them recently. "So anyway, the mercenary was killed, the world was saved. End of story, there wasn't even a freakin' reward" said one, he was an anthromorphic blue bird.. his name was Falco Lombardi. One of the other pilots made a noise of disdain, "Falco, you need to lighten up. Pepper gave us a reward for it, I mean who cares anyway?The whole of Macbeth fell to him. I didn't particularly want to be listening to that guy on the telescreen giving propaganda speeches."

The other pilot chuckled to herself, "Oh get over yourself you two, Fox you got what you wanted. Everything's peaceful now and you got your reward money" She said the last couple of words huskily as if mocking the other pilot. "Pfft, like you'd care Krystal. The Great Fox needs a couple of improvements.. like that slightly bigger cabin that you requested…"

Falco rolled his birdlike eyes, "Not the time you two… besides we still have to get back to the ship with these stupid parts". Krystal lounged back in her seat and played with her blue hair and then snorted to herself. Shut up Falco, just you're not getting any"

Fox burst out laughing and the three pilots flew towards their mother ship in the distance.

"Wait…" Fox said into his headset, his eyes staring into the distance. "What's that?"

The other two looked towards the Great Fox, and they panicked. The Great Fox had been attacked, and they hadn't even known about it!

"Get into attack mode guys.. we've got trouble" McCloud ordered.

"Already done Chief" Falco replied and Krystal merely clicked her comm with acknowledgement. The three fighters flew towards the white figure of the Great Fox. As they got closer they saw what had happened to it. It had crashed landed against a cliff face and battle damage would have been visible to a blind person.

Two of the 'wings' were slightly bent and the two lasers cannons had been damaged, a large hole was torn out of the side of the belly of the vessel and small pits where laser cannons had hit it were clearly visible.

"… oh hell no.." Fox murmured. Three ships had appeared on their sensors. "You've got to be kidding me!" Falco yelled, "I can guess who they are" The three ships spun around towards the perpetrators of the damage.

"Long time no see pup" came the familiar voice through the comm.

"Wolf.. you just have to come the most damn inappropriate time don't you?" McCloud asked dryly, Krystal directed her eyes towards the three claw-like vessels heading towards them. "What did you do to our ship… to Peppy!?"

A well known purr came through her headset, "Ah.. Krystal we meet again, I have not yet forgotten about you and our parting at the Aparoid Homeworld"

"Panther.. just stay out of the conversation.. please" Krystal replied.

Panther Caroso was stunned into silence, "As you wish it my dear"

An evil hissing cackle emanated through the channel, "Heh heh heh… we did not do this…" chuckled Leon Powalski, "It's probably one of Falco's many disappointed ex-girlfriends trying to get revenge". Falco, always the firebrand didn't exactly defuse the situation by shouting, "Shut up Leon. Don't make me blast your ship!"

"What do you guys want? Wolf you can't seriously be desperate for another fight… again and again we're just going to beat you". Fox's ship stood firm and the six ships stood in a stand-off.

The three Wolfens had long since reached their sector and were facing them, their g-diffusers placed into neutral. The Arwing retaliated by priming their weapons.

"We didn't do this Fox. Hell, we only came to fight you again. Like I would give a damn about that stupid hare aboard your ship. 'Oh do a barrel roll Fox!' You guys are a joke". Wolf, as if to emphasise his point, gave a hearty laugh and his cybernetic eye twitched with anticipation. "Come on tough guy, you've beaten us before due to luck but never again will that happen"

Fox sighed to himself, "Alright Falco, Krystal, let's beat these guys once and for all"

"These losers are gonna be pulverised when I'm finished with 'em" Falco murmured.

The six ships flew towards each other and opened with their laser cannons, Wolf as per usual flew straight after Fox and the other four ships split up into pairs doing the dance of battle over the mountain range. Krystal looped over the top of Panther's ship and fired a blast into his wing, he deflected it with a quick barrel roll and fired back. Falco and Leon swooped close to the ground, Falco pushed his ship alongside the chameleon's and slammed his wing against the other one's vessel.

"You ain't so tough Star Fox, is that all you've got to take us with? At least you put up a challenge at Sargasso" Wolf grinned to himself and rolled the joystick to the right. His vessel banked to right and deflected some well-placed blasts with a timely roll.

Fox looked down at his motion trackers, looked up again but then his eyes darted back down to it. Something wasn't right. There was a seventh dot on it…

He checked the direction and found out it was coming from the Great Fox.

Leon, Panther and Wolf regrouped on the far side, "What's the matter Falco? Ya scared?" Leon mocked, he laughed maniacally as if it was a private joke.

Falco narrowed his eyes and his Arwing swung itself towards Leon's Wolfen, he fired several green laser blasts at his foe and the Wolfen suddenly caught on fire, Falco's eyes widened.

"What the hell..? I didn't even hit him with them"

Wolf barked over his comm, "you're not supposed to shoot us you stupid pigeon!"

"What are they talking about? Of course Falco's supposed to shoot him… wha..?" Krystal looked out of the right of her cockpit and gasped.

An incredible bird-like scream rang out and a large dark blue/black dragon with glowing yellow eyes was hovering next to the two squadrons. It had bright orange wings that sparkled in the sunlight and it also had huge sharp teeth. It looked as though it was made almost completely out of metal. The dragon opened its huge maw and breathed out strange coloured fire filling the air around it with sulphur and heat, just for effect of course.

"Ridley! You're not supposed to be following me. Get back to the Exemption"

Wolf barked the sentence almost with spite, the metallic bird seemed to understand this.. but Fox knew that it wasn't going to comply. It looked… too barbaric for that.

"If you do that I'm going to report you to…" just before Wolf could finish his sentence the giant dragon, or Ridley as he had been called, lunged at Wolf's ship and caught it in his claws, he grabbed hold of it and shrieked loudly.

"Wolf!" Panther shouted, for once feeling the emotion others called panic. He careered his Wolfen up towards the bird and fired once with his laser cannons. The red bolt hit Ridley in the chest, he cried out with a strange cry of pain and looked towards Panther's ship. He fired off a plasma bolt out of his mouth, which caught Panther's vessel on the wing sending it shooting towards the ground. It hit the mountain face with a dull explosion.

Star Fox was immobilised by the shock of what had happened, Fox watched the scene unfolding with silence. Falco's eyes were wide with terror. This thing was destroying Star Wolf. Wolf's ship was caught in a death grip and the battered ship struggled to move, "Stop it Ridley! I'll set the others on you and you'll have no chance of escaping alive."

Ridley ripped the ship in half and picked up the dark figure inside, Wolf's fur rustled in the wind and he looked up into the gigantic space dragon's eyes and only felt one thing… pure absolute terror. Ridley shrieked his alien cry and prepared to rip the squirming enemy in two, but then strange sounds were heard. He raised his head and looked to the left and saw a large black thing materialising in the sky.

Blue and black particles were appearing out of nothingness and turning into a strange shape. It was an almost 2D object that seemed to look like a portal, a blue spiral in the centre rotated quickly and the black particles emanated outwards. It was huge, taking up what appeared to be a large piece of sky and strange objects were being discharged from it.

The monster looked down at his prey, snorted and dropped Wolf. Then it swooped off into the distance towards the black portal.

Fox gasped and flew his Arwing underneath the falling figure, Wolf managed to grab hold of the edge of the wing with his claws. He scrambled up the side of the ship and crouched down on the wing. "… he betrayed us.." the feral Wolf muttered.

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Fox hissed.

The portal began pulsating and suddenly tiny black particles started flying out of it, they darted forwards and soon more and more began to appear. The three Arwings flew over towards the portal, where Ridley was hovering. He looked at them, his shining orange eyes unblinking.. motionless… angry.

Suddenly the black particles grouped together, turning into clumps of darkness and then bunching up even further. Until they suddenly changed colour and sat their, hovering in the air was a... wooden pirate ship? The vessel was floating, aided by a large propeller on top.

Ridley swooped down onto the top of the flying boat and landed on the deck, Fox stared at the creature and saw that smaller ones surrounded him. Strange creatures that had defensive shells surrounded the huge being, also fungal-like brown blobs crowded the space dragon.

The ship started to move towards them and Falco was muttering to himself in his cockpit, Krystal stayed silent and watched the strange spectacle unfold, all members of Star Fox were so stunned that they merely gazed at the ship in awe.

The Airship levelled up with the three Arwings until they could see what was happening on board. Wolf stared at the large figure standing next to 'Ridley' and growled to himself.

"Bowser! What is the meaning of this!?". Wolf barked, "Why has Ridley betrayed us… why have you betrayed us?". Fox's eyes searched the deck for who Star Wolf was talking to when from behind Ridley a large creature strode. It was bipedal… yet it looked as much a strange creature as Ridley, it had a large shell covered in spikes along with a tuft of dark red hair on it's head. It had a reptilian grin and it chuckled to itself, it was obviously much more civilised than Ridley was, yet it still had en evil air to it.

"Stop kidding yourself Wolf!" the being shouted, it strode up to the side of the ship flanked by a pair of Koopa Troopers armed with strange looking blasters. "You would of betrayed us if we'd given you the opportunity, we're merely doing a pre-emptive strike as it were"

Wolf leapt from the wing of Fox's ship onto the flight deck of the ship, dozens of the strange turtle beings raised their rifles at him and surrounded him.

"I would neverof betrayed you" he said calmly, "I know that it's quite tempting for you and Ridley to disobey his orders and try to kill me off, so that you get a bigger share. But for once Bowser, just learn to self-satisfy your damn greed!" Wolf almost snapped the last sentence.

"What the hell is going on…?"Falco whispered through his comm..

Ridley cocked his head at their ships and gave a shrill shriek, flapped his wings in a flourish and took off, he sat on top of the propeller with his talons wrapped around the pole eyeing up the three Arwings.

"Bwahahaha!" Bowser laughed to himself with a monster-like chuckle, "You seriously don't think that me and my little bird friend here would let you walk away with our shares of the prize… we're going to drop the Phazon, escape through good ol' Zant's portal and guess what my little furry friend? You ain't coming with us!"

Ridley gave a shriek to make the point clear to Wolf who was back-pedalling towards the edge of the ship. The Koopa's walked him up to the edge of the ship and armed their weapons.

Suddenly from the dark portal another vessel flew out and zoomed in above them, it had a claw like shape and was a strange orange colour with a green cockpit. Some of the Koopas looked up and then it swooped over them firing large missiles.

Several of the Koopa Troopers were instantly disintegrated by the shots and huge holes were burnt in the ship, Ridley gave a terrific roar recognising the ship immediately. He jumped off the Doomship and gave chase screaming in his alien tongue.

"Ridley! You idiot! Come back!" Bowser ordered, he turned to Wolf who back flipped onto the Arwing behind him. He waved coyly and Bowser clenched his fist. "Shoot them down!" he barked and several cannons appeared from the side of the ship.

The Arwings flew away from the Doomship and several Bullet Bills were launched behind them as they went. "Unleash the dark substance and escape into the Twilight portal!" Bowser roared, and he then smiled to himself, "Wow, it's awesome to say such cheesy words and know they actually mean something". A large hatch opened up at the bottom of the shop firing a large ball covered in a shimmering blue substance towards the surface of Corneria.

The crippled Doomship banked to the side and flew back towards the portal, Bowser stood on the back of the vessel, his eyes locked with Fox's and he watched him chuckle.

The last thing he saw of him was Bowser's vessel dissipating into the blue-y blackish fog in the centre of the portal.

"Things just got hectic guys.." Falco remarked as the four pilots looked down at the blue substance slowly seeping out of the impact crater. Wolf broke the silence with a simple sentence designed to explain the gravity of the situation, "Ah crap…"


If anyone could see the sight of the Exemption sitting there in the middle of space, they would of laughed.. for an extremely long time at what they saw.

What they would of seen was a large space station surrounded by an assortment of strange spacecraft, heavy battleships and space fighters all from different worlds.

Here, in the Dimensional Rift was where their master plan would come to fruition.

He stood there, at the viewscreen on the Exemption biding his time, watching, gathering information and formulating his evil designs. He stood there, his eyes glancing over the vast armada of craft, all of them from different universes ferried here to the space station launching invasions of different universes.

He could see Bowser's Doomships, a whole flotilla of them sitting there looking like children's playthings. He could see a Space Pirate frigate, one of the key factors in his plans and home to the cancerous element instrumental to what he hoped to achieve.

He stroked his large moustache with wonder and pulled his goggles down over his eyes.

He'd built this station himself! The whole thing.. with the help of certain powerful friends of course, he'd been damn lucky to build it right on top of the Dimensional Rift where all the barriers between worlds were weak. Using the powers of one of his 'allies' he could open portals to any of the worlds, send in a strike force to deposit Phazon and using… never mind.. I cannot refer to her he thought to himself. None of the irrational fools who were aiding him knew of her… he'd found her at the brink of destruction and offered her a deal.. one which she couldn't dare to refuse. No, not even the Dark Hunter could refuse Dr. Ivo Robotnik!

The large man cackled to himself, Dr Eggman would control the Universe. And for once no stupid Hedgehog would be able to stop him. As they say, it's harder to break twigs when they are bunched together. And no people fail as often as the losers he'd gathered together.
