"This is Oracle. I'm mapping out the entire Overworld so it'll be easier to locate the fighters we're looking for." Oracle said. "Colette, it looks like Lloyd's location is past Captain Falcon and Isabelle's. You'll have to fight them both to get to Lloyd."

"That's why me and Emil are here to help out." Marta said.

"Alright. We'll be counting on you." Genis said. "I'll go as well in case any puppet fighters get any ideas."

"Then let's get moving. Lloyd needs us!" Colette said.

"Right." Emil said. "Kinda takes ya back, doesn't it?"

"It does, actually. When we were journeying to recover the Centurions' Cores." Colette said.

"Yeah, you helped us recover Ventus's core as Genis and Raine helped us recover Ignis's." Marta said.

"And then there was Decus posing as Lloyd to commit horrible acts to try and frame him." Genis said. "Except this time, Lloyd really is an enemy."

"Yeah, that whole time I thought he was the one who murdered my parents, but I no longer see it as that. He's our friend, and we need to help him." Emil said before the four stopped in front of a well-built man in a jumpsuit with a red helmet on his head that had a falcon motif blocking their way.

"I'm guessing this is Captain Falcon." Marta said.

"Yep. I definitely remember this guy from Furious Racing." Genis said. "I really hate to fight the guy who helped us bring down Astro, but it's gotta be done."

"Come on!" Captain Falcon called out in a distorted voice as he did a come on motion with his hand.

"It's him, or us!" Emil said.

(Cue: Sector 1- Brawl Arrangement)

READY….. GO!

"Phoenix Rush!" Emil called out as he did a spin strike in the air that unleashed a flurry of wind blades, hitting the F-Zero champion multiple times. "Demon Fang!" He called out as he dealt a darkness imbued slash.

Captain Falcon blocked Emil's Demon Fang with his shield and then struck back with his Raptor Assault, launching Emil into the air.

"Genis, now! He's Vulnerable!" Marta called.

"Aqua Laser!" Genis called as a blast of water was fired at Captain Falcon.

"Ready?" Marta asked as a magic glyph appeared underneath her. "Prism Sword!" She called as six crystals surrounded Captain Falcon and reflected a laser as hit him multiple times before larger crystal crashed down onto him, finishing him.

VICTORY!

"You still got some learning to do." Genis said.

"Then let's go on to study love!" Marta said.

"Go by yourself!" Emil said in a bit deeper voice.

"What's wrong, Emil? Ratatosk Mode kicking in again?" Genis asked.

"Oh not really, I mean after that entire journey with all of you, I became more confident in myself." Emil said with his eyes still green.

"Ah, I see. Because it kind of sounded like that for a moment there." Genis said.

"But if he still had Ratatosk with him, he wouldn't be here right? Didn't Richter take Ratatosk in so that Emil would come back?" Colette asked.

"Yeah, since Richter decided to guard the door to Niflheim, he took Emil's place so that he could live a normal life." Marta said.

"After all he did to try to turn our world into a demonic realm, that was still pretty noble of him." Genis said as Captain Falcon got back up.

"Ow…" Captain Falcon groaned. "Where am I? The last thing I remember was trying to get into the Blue Falcon to escape Galleem's attack, but I wasn't able to even take off."

"You were possessed by Galeem after that. We had to snap you out of it." Genis said.

"I am...thanks...for showing me your moves!" Captain Falcon said.

"Yep. He's back." Genis said.

"We're currently trying to rescue the other fighters and go stop Alabastar and Galeem, do you want to join us?" Emil asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" Captain Falcon said. "But why come here to the race track?"

"Race track?" Emil asked before seeing the track. "Ugh...we went the wrong way."

"It was on the way to the town, so we figured that we may as well." Genis said.

"There's still Isabelle on the way to the town, but...I can sense Samus on the other side of the crossroads." Colette said.

"Hold on, let's take a look at the map for a second." Marta said as she pulled up a copy of it. "Here's where we are. So if we go further up, we'll reach Isabelle."

"Besides… we can leave the other fighters to the others. We just need to get to Lloyd." Colette said.

"And it looks like he's past Isabelle outside of town." Emil said.

"Alright, so if we want to get to Lloyd, we'll have to fight Isabelle first." Genis said.

"Not necessarily. Lloyd is just straight ahead while Isabelle just diverts a little to the right." Colette said.

"She's right. We can keep going straight and battle with Lloyd without facing Isabelle." Emil said.

"We still can't ignore her, though. I'll go for Isabelle in case she tries anything." Genis said.

"Alright, be careful Genis. Captain Falcon will help provide backup for you just in case." Marta said.

"Yes!" Captain Falcon said. "Let's go, Genis!"

"Ready when you are, Captain." Genis said.

Captain Falcon and Genis went together and headed to Isabelle's location, where they saw the assistant to the Villager herself.

"We finally found you, Isabelle." Genis said.

"Hm? And what would you be doing here?" Isabelle asked.

"We're here to stop you from trying to pull any sneak attacks." Genis said.

"You mean...like this!" she said casting a fishing rod as it snagged Genis and sent him flying into the air.

"Oh, now it's on. Air Blade!" Genis said as he fires gusts of wind at Isabelle.

"Open your eyes, Isabelle! This isn't you, Alabastar and Galeem are controlling your mind!" Captain Falcon said.

"I don't think she's gonna listen to us, Captain." Genis said.

"Well then, I hate to do this to her, but… standback, Genis!" Captain Falcon said slamming his fist into his hand.

"W-Wait! Can we talk about this?!" Isabelle asked, but Falcon wasn't in the mood to listen.

"Falcon...PUNCH!" Captain Falcon called out as he pulled back his right arm before delivering a devastating fire punch as a falcon of fire appeared over it as it screeched, and Isabelle was sent flying.

"Ugh… What happened?" Isabelle asked.

"You were under Galeems control." Captain Falcon explained. "You don't have to worry about Villager, he's already been freed."

"Phew… Thank goodness. I was so worried." Isabelle said.

"Isabelle is clear. The rest is up to you, Colette!" Genis called to her.

"Got it. Thanks, Genis." Colette said.

With Isabelle out of the way Collete and the others approached Lloyd's location.

"Lloyd!" Colette called as she headed towards him.

"Watch out!" Emil said as he blocked an incoming sword strike. "Lloyd! Pull yourself together! You aren't the type of person to go down without a fight!"

"Dwarven Vow #2: Never abandon someone in need." Marta said.

"Lloyd… During the Journey of Regeneration, you saved my life countless times. And now...it's my turn to save yours!" Colette said as she pulled out her chakrams and sprouted her angel wings.

"Saving your life?" Lloyd said brandishing his blades. "I don't recall any of that. All I care about… is destroying those who stand in Lord Alabastar and Galeem's way."

"You're wrong, Lloyd. I know you remember. I'll make you remember!" Colette said.

Colette vs Lloyd

Ready...GO!

(Cue: It can Waver and Fight- Tales of Symphonia)

"For the true rulers… Alabastar and Galeem!" Lloyd said. "You stand against them...and for that you must die! Demon Fang!"

"Ray Thrust!" Colette said. The two attacks canceled each other out.

"Blazing Tempest!" Lloyd called.

"Grand Chariot!" Colette called.

"Sword Rain: Alpha!" Lloyd called.

"Angel Feathers!" Colette called as rings of light flew at Lloyd.

"Amazing… they're matching each other move for move." Isabelle said.

"Yes." Captain Falcon agreed. "But Colette won't get anywhere by playing it safe. She needs to go on the offensive."

"Judgment!" Colette said as rays of light start raining down. "Lloyd, this isn't you! Think about all those moments we spent together, all our moments with everyone on our team! You have to remember!" she said as she continues to block Lloyd's attacks.

"The Lloyd you know is gone! There is only the will of Lord Alabastar!" Lloyd said as he used his Mystic Arte. "Take this! Divine Justice!" he said as he swung down, creating a massive explosion. Miraculously, Colette survived.

"Justice…? Lloyd can't stand that word. He would never spout the things you're saying so openly." Colette said. "As he would say… Don't even start spewing the word 'Justice!'" Colette said as she glowed a rainbow aura. "Thy faithful servant… Ask us for thy blessing… Honor us with the special…" Colette started. "Uh… Oops! I messed up!" she said with a giggle before a multitude of lights start raining down. "Huh?!"

Lloyd was bombarded by the lights before he was knocked unconscious.

VICTORY!

"Lloyd! Are you alright?" Colette asked, helping him up.

"C-Colette?" Lloyd said weakly. "What happened? And why do I feel like I've been tackled by Fulgore?"

"Oh, Lloyd. I was so worried. When Genis and I found out that you were taken by Alabastar, we didn't know what to do…" Colette said.

"Galeem… I remember now. I remember that we saved our world twice before. But, when half the multiverse was wiped out… Who did we really save? Alabastar took advantage of that moment of weakness and I was pulled onto his control." Lloyd said. "You must've saved me. Thanks, Colette."

"Don't worry about it, Lloyd. It was the least I could do after the numerous times you saved me." Colette said.

"Genis, Emil, Marta… I'm sorry if I caused you and everyone else trouble while I was in that state." Lloyd said.

"Hey, no problem." Captain Falcon said. "You're not the only one who got brainwashed. If I had been able to break free sooner, I'd have helped you."

"And now along with Lloyd, we've rescued two other fighters. We're well on our way." Genis said.

"Yeah, I wonder how everyone else is doing." Emil said.

"I'm sure they'll be fine." Colette said. "Besides, not like anything bad ever happens that often to them."
